| 1 No, I'm sorry, none of them sound familiar. |
| 2 You played Elminster? |
| 3 Uh, the yugoloth, was it? Yeah, you stole the show with that one, if I recall. |
| 4 And, who knows, we were rehearsing for Picoccio's "Three Days in the Ether." Perhaps we can give you a dress matinee. |
| 5 Oh, my dark ravens, let us stop our squawking. I shall remove this foul demeanor like a mask because, if you will still have me, I think I would quite enjoy the company of your troupe. |
| 6 Then join us by all means. You are welcome here. |
| 7 Perhaps another time, Haer'Dalis. Your world seems rather strange to me... I'll have to think it over. |
| 8 Forget it. It's time I left here, and I suspect you should as well. |
| 9 If we can find it and return it to the playhouse, the reward offered by our Stagemistress, Raelis Shai, shall be yours. Come, then, let us search for it: Free money does not come often in the arts. |
| 10 So hopeful we shall meet again before too many days have passed. But enough talkâ€â€it is time this raven flies. |
| 11 Your reward will be great and the fates, my blackbird of chaos, shall smile. But enough of artful prophecy: I must fly to my troupe, for no doubt they have missed my presence. |
| 12 Come, let me join you. Like all actors, I am an extrovert and even more so since my late confinement. There be little sense in rotting alone. |
| 13 Well, I have no intention of rotting together either, so you can take your one-man show elsewhere, I'm afraid. |
| 14 There be little sense in anything, these days. Come, then, let us leave this place of madness behind. |
| 15 If so, I will see to it that my mistress, Raelis Shai, rewards you generously. Then, at least, we might pick up our acquaintance under kinder circumstances. |
| 16 If we can retrieve it, Raelis Shai, my mistress at the Sigil playhouse, shall offer a fine reward for its safe delivery into her keeping. Let us hurry then, my raven. |
| 17 What you lack in poetry, you admittedly compensate for in logic... However, I do believe such terms of service shall suit me nicely. I am good with the sword, if you have a couple of spare ones handy... |
| 18 I've told you that I don't care a whit for your safety and you still want to join me? |
| 19 You're good with a blade? How good? |
| 20 It's a shame your sword arm is attached to your tongue... I'd take one but not the other. |
| 21 Very well, we'll find you some swords. Welcome to the team, poet. |
| 22 You have your logic and I have mine, my hounds of rescue... and they are not so different. So... may I join you, then? |
| 23 Join, join, by all means join, for if we talk any longer, I fear my brain shall cramp. |
| 24 I want no part of your word games. Leave me here to sort out my senses. |
| 25 I believe it to be in an altar here... if we retrieve it, she will reward us greatly for its return. Come, let us search this place before Mekrath's return. |
| 26 If you could only deliver it to me at the playhouse of the Sigil theater troupe, my mistress will reward you greatly for your efforts. So with apologies, my ravens of rhetoric, I must make my exit. |
| 27 If you can bring it to me at the playhouse of the Sigil theater troupe, perhaps all can be forgotten... The reward is yours to ponder. |
| 28 You can put your petty slave-and-master game away then, for I have played it against far better opponents than yourself. |
| 29 You should be a little more careful when addressing your master. |
| 30 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890!@#$%^&*() -_=+\|]}[{;:'",<.>/?– |
| 31 If there's an opponent better than myself, I'd like to know his name. |
| 32 All right, all right, the game is up, but I'll still have you join me. |
| 33 Forget it, then. Begone from here and take your bravado with you. |
| 34 If you want to work together, aye, I'll work with you, but otherwise, begone... |
| 35 What "greater beings" are you talking about? |
| 36 Then work with me, but watch your back... I'll not have your sense of petty bravado bring about my ruin. |
| 37 Fine then, go. You have no sense of what you're missing, though. |
| 38 Come, then. This "ant" has little desire to make an argument of this. |
| 39 Aye, for you, I do not doubt that life is easy... but it is easy by your ignorance, not your power... So, ant: Take me now or leave me here. It's all the same to me. |
| 40 Come with me, then. I have little time for all this chatter. |
| 41 All right, Haer'Dalis. Join me in whichever fashion you see fit, but, slave or free, we travel together nonetheless. |
| 42 Then rot here and have your freedom. I can see now why Mekrath was so willing to part with your company. |
| 43 I will see to it that my mistress provides you with a greater reward than you deserve. Until then, dear ant, I pray beware the elephant... |
| 44 The fool Mekrath stole from me a most important gem... and if memory serves, it is in an altar here. My mistress and I shall be far more pleasant if you bore it to us in your hands. |
| 45 Wherever you may take me, friend, and whoever you may be, you will never be his equal or play the game as well as he. |
| 46 Your experiences are far from ordinary, Haer'Dalis, and I admit I am intrigued... Perhaps you hold more value to me as a comrade than as a slave. My apologies for my previous demeanor. |
| 48 Perhaps I have been harsh in my treatment of you, then. Join with me, if you will, but as a comrade. |
| 49 A well-rehearsed lie sung by an actor. Come, slave... I've no patience for all this foolishness. |
| 50 Fine, fine. I suppose it's best just to have nothing to do with you at all. Begone from my sight. |
| 51 Aye, but when the guards be gone, we birds and bards have certain means at our disposal. So, unless you care to stay here for the rest of all eternity, I'm afraid you cannot hold me to this place. |
| 52 If escaping is so easy, why did you not escape from Mekrath? |
| 53 Very well then, go. I'll have nothing more to do with you. |
| 54 I might not be able to keep you here, but I can certainly take you with me. |
| 55 Ha, I remained his captive at my own discretion. He has a gem of mine hidden about this place, and I was observing him to see if he might give some clue to its existence. Would you care to search for it with me? |
| 56 A gem? Why, certainly, let us join together and hunt its riches down. |
| 57 You mean to tell me you were mentally enslaved by choice? You can't possibly think I'm that stupid. |
| 58 I don't need your help to find a gem, but I do thank you for alerting me to its presence. |
| 59 Come, my hounds of rescue, let us find it before the wizard-fool returns. |
| 61 The rest, I fear, is in your hands and out of mine. So farewell, good luck, and godspeed, my friend. Mekrath will no doubt be returning shortly. |
| 62 Now, please, I must go meet with her and let her know that I am safe. I trust, my greedy ravens, that destiny shall bring us together in good time. |
| 63 You have my promise that she will reward you accordingly. Until then, my hounds of chaos, do take care. |
| 64 Aye, that you could, but let us put this petty slave-and-master game away. I have played it against far better opponents than you. |
| 65 You should be more careful when addressing your master... |
| 66 If there's an opponent better than me, I would like to know his name. |
| 67 All right, all right, the game is up, but I'll still have you join me. |
| 68 Fine, fine. I suppose it's better to have nothing to do with you at all. Begone, then. |
| 69 So! We meet in brighter times and better places, I see. Have you brought the gem? |
| 70 No, I couldn't find it. |
| 71 I sold it and shan't get it back except at three times the price. |
| 72 What gem? |
| 73 Forget about the gem; I have come here to ask you to join me. |
| 74 Yeah, I brought it. How much is it worth to you? |
| 75 Here it is, my friend. Safely delivered from my keeping to yours. |
| 76 I was sure it was in that altar! It must be somewhere in his lair! Damn him, it must be there, it must! Please, get out and do not interrupt us here until you have it in your hands. Things are tense for us right now. More than you realize. |
| 77 Fool! You are lucky the price for your foolishness is only monetary... Some of us are not so lucky. Please, spend whatever you must. It will be more than covered in your reward. Now go, our time is growing ever shorter. |
| 78 The gem that Mekrath took from me and hid within his altar! Please, it is imperative that the jewel makes it safely into our hands. Go, and don't return until you hold it in your hands. |
| 79 That gem is my destiny, the destiny of my troupe, the destiny of this very stage on which we stand. Do not ask me to forget it, my ravens, for I shall not. Come back to me when you have it in your hands, and perhaps I'll be free to join you then. |
| 80 You have it? Good. I would give you my very soul in gratitude for its return, but the negotiations are between you and Miss Raelis. I suggest you speak with her. |
| 81 No, no, I'll not touch it. It is better that you deliver it to Miss Raelis as she is better suited to its nature. |
| 83 She grants the "rescue Haer'Dalis" quest. |
| 84 And the errant actor doth return! <CHARNAME>, I thank you, for you have brought joy to this dark house. Haer'Dalis, have you the gem? |
| 85 We bring it with us, Miss Raelis, that we might have all the more reason to celebrate. |
| 86 Lord Ketlaar Argrim |
| 87 Not yet, Miss Raelis. It appears they still need more convincing. |
| 88 Foolish gtrank small-fist! Why feltthgrr help this place? You paid too? No, stronger get rid of guards with much gold. You just grrth stupid then! You die! |
| 89 You think me stupid?! I tell you nothing of Stronger than us! Should have leaved with other grrth guards paid to go by Stronger! Now you die here and bones will feed! |
| 90 It would be an honor. |
| 91 I'm afraid he and I are not used to fighting at each other's side. It would be best if, for the time being at least, he fought under your command. |
| 92 You threaten, but we fight anyway! I tell nothing of Stronger! Should have taken Stronger's gold like all other small-head guards! Now you die! |
| 93 Haer'Dalis, tell them the truth of what we are about while I prepare the summoning of the conduit. |
| 94 I am justice, and I don't care whom you serveâ€â€you will die for the innocents you have slain! |
| 95 You serve Stronger? Who is that? Who directs your actions? Speak! I demand it! |
| 96 Haer'Dalis, unsheathe your blades and put yourself at <CHARNAME>'s command. |
| 97 As you wish. Come, friends, let us begin. |
| 98 Who would dare give orders to a creature like you? Who would hope to survive such a thing? |
| 99 Come now, who could be stronger than you? Who would dare give orders to you? |
| 100 I promised 300 gold for the rescue of my finest bard. But without that gem, he be just a pretty song. Fetch the gem and I shall more than double your reward. |
| 101 Few of you primes would sense its presence, but Mekrath did, and so it was that I fell into his keeping. Luckily, he had not rid himself of it before your timely rescue. |
| 102 I am the person who's come here to kill you, no matter who you are or whom you serve! |
| 103 And who would be stronger than you? I would love to give them a taste of death as well! |
| 104 Ahh, I see. You are a coward. Who has you cowed? Who is better than you? |
| 105 Stop a second there, young 'un, 'cuz I heard what you gone and done for old Brun. It made me ashamed that I didn't try to help him myself. Good to know there's still someone willin' ta go the extra mile, even for a stranger. I want you to have this heirloom of mine because of what you did. Now my heirs didn't loom so big, but you ought to get more use out o' it than my mantle does. Folks like you make a jaded old man think there's still decent people out there. |
| 106 And who is it that has you so afraid? Are you so weak that you can be ordered about? |
| 107 I'm sure we can deal. You are an... intelligent creature. You know opportunity when it presents itself. |
| 108 I am quite good at cowing even the strongest creatures with words and guile. What good am I? What good are you? |
| 109 So you return, and our dark Haer'Dalis, his fetters shattered by your hands, has preceded you. Here is the gold I promised... Have you the gem he spoke of? |
| 110 No, Miss Raelis, but I shall soon return with it. |
| 111 The gem is safe, but first I must know how much you'll give me for it. |
| 112 Aye, here it is, safely delivered. |
| 113 Do so, child, for much depends on it. |
| 114 Do not try to barter with me, child! I shall give you more than any other might, for I have more to give and greater need. Is that enough? |
| 115 Yes, Miss Raelis, I merely wished to confirm it. Here is the gem; let me show it to you. |
| 116 I'll barter with who I wish, Miss Raelis... Show me your greater need if you wish, but I am leaving. |
| 117 Excuse me while I fetch it, then, Miss Raelis. |
| 118 Ah, Mekrath's prize! It shall be our salvation yet. Here be 1,200 gold. Haer'Dalis, tell them what we are about while I prepare the summoning of the conduit. |
| 119 1,200 gold then, if you be wanting numbers! 'Tis all I have. |
| 120 1,200? Aye, you have bought my interest. Here is your petty costume jewel. |
| 121 And it's not enough... Goodbye, Miss Raelis. |
| 122 And here, then, is your petty penny, child. Haer'Dalis, tell them the truth of what we are about while I prepare for the summoning of the conduit. |
| 123 Haer'Dalis, all of you, stop them! |
| 124 Ah, Mekrath's prize! It shall be our salvation yet. Here be 700 gold. Haer'Dalis, tell them what we are about while I prepare for the summoning of the conduit. |
| 125 Ah, the fabled rescuers of Haer'Dalis... Do you carry with you the gem he told you of? |
| 126 Very well, I shall go run your petty errand. |
| 127 No, Miss Raelis, but I shall soon return with it. |
| 128 The gem is safe, but first I must know how much you'll give me for it. |
| 129 Aye, here it is, safely delivered. |
| 130 Few of you primes would sense its presence, but Mekrath did, and so it was that I fell into his keeping. Luckily, he had not rid himself of it before your timely rescue. |
| 131 Primes and planar jewels andâ€â€and... What do you speak of, Haer'Dalis, for you have lost me? |
| 132 Why did you lie to me, Haer'Dalis? |
| 133 What is Raelis summoning? |
| 134 As our name denotes, we come from the city of Sigil, which lies upon another plane of the multiverse or, more appropriately, upon a hub or node where many of the planes collide... Are you with me? |
| 135 Positively entranced. Do continue. |
| 136 Not at all, but I don't expect that to change any time soon, so you might as well continue. |
| 137 If time is short, perhaps it would be best if you just cut to the quick of things and tell me how I can help. |
| 138 Well, all of this really goes back to a most unfortunate satirical play which we produced while in Sigil. |
| 139 Ah, the unfathomable connection between theater and interplanar travel... I'm sorry, but you have lost me entirely. |
| 140 What was so unfortunate about it? |
| 141 All this explanation is getting nowhere with me. Perhaps it would be better if you just told me how I can help. |
| 142 'Twas only the Lady of Pain herself, mistress of all Sigil, who through her unplumbed whimsy sent us careening through a portal to emerge where we are now, in this place you know as Amn. |
| 143 But the price upon your heads, is it not still there? |
| 144 I never realized acting was so dangerous. |
| 145 What a harrowing experience it must have been for all of you. Please, what can I do that might be helpful? |
| 146 Which brings us back to where this whole tale began, that is, to the planar stone you rescued from damned Mekrath's rubble. |
| 146 16 |
| 147 How? I don't understand. |
| 148 Of course, the planar stone and whatever it is that Raelis is summoning. |
| 149 I helped you then and shall help you again if I am able. Just tell me how. |
| 150 Miss Raelis is playing the stone as we speak so that our company might slip through our hunter's grasp and find another stage. The play must go on, you know. |
| 151 I'm just an actor on the run, nothing more. A single play has left me a wretched man, my ravens. A single, wrongheaded satire I didn't even write... |
| 152 What play, Haer'Dalis, and how? |
| 153 Okay, okay, I need to know what's going on here. Who are you, where are you from, and what's going on here? Start at the beginning. |
| 154 I wash my hands of this... Miss Raelis, I'm leaving. |
| 155 All right, you lied to me, but you had your reasons. What can I do to help? |
| 156 A young conduit. |
| 157 A what? |
| 158 <CHARNAME>, your presence here would be appreciated. Will you stay with us? |
| 159 I'm not interested in fighting extraplanar creatures... I'll be on my way, thank you. |
| 160 We shall hold off these creatures as best as we are able. Tell me when you find the right tunnel. |
| 161 We could have used your bravery... escort yourself out. We shall not begin until you are gone. Haer'Dalis, prepare your blades... for you are all we have. |
| 162 Yes, Miss Raelis. |
| 163 You are more than kind. Haer'Dalis's blades are something to behold. Would you have him join you for this fight? |
| 164 Yes, Miss Raelis. |
| 165 Drow Priestess |
| 166 Good day, Raelis. Will you permit me to stop this madness? |
| 167 Thank you. |
| 168 Who are you, and what business do you have with us? |
| 169 Oh, just an employee of an old acquaintance of yours in Sigil. Duke... what was his name? Darkwood? Yes, Duke Darkwood, that was it, wasn't it...? You really oughtn't have done that play, you know... |
| 170 We were set up. We performed it under the assumption that it was fiction. The playwright never told us otherwise. |
| 171 Ah yes, the infamous anonymous playwright. Now who was he, anyway? We never did learn. |
| 172 Neither did we... he wore a mask and met with us in the alleyways. It doesn't matter... Come, my bards. It appears 'tis time to make our reckoning. Haer'Dalis? |

| 177 You have known us for so short a time, and yet you have bought our freedom with blood. My child, my friend, it is a debt I can never repay... |
| 178 Miss Raelis... I... I cannot come with you. Not this time. |
| 179 No? No more plays, Haer'Dalis? No more theater? |
| 180 I wish I could, Raelis, but I am just another moth come too close to your flame. To love you is to smother that flame in my own death. I shall not do it. |
| 181 Don't be a fool, Haer'Dalis. There was no mystery writer of our play! I wrote "A Comedy of Terrors," it was mine! I brought all of this upon us! |
| 182 Best you keep moving. Them trolls will smell you even in here. The walls of the servants' quarters aren't that thick. |
| 183 Miss Nalia! What are you doing here? You never come to the servants' quarters, at least not in my memory. |
| 184 As you would have it, Miss Nalia. |
| 185 Very well then, but remember what you have done here today! You have condemned this place, and me along with it! |
| 186 If that is what you wish. It will be safer than waiting here. I will wait outside by the palisade. |
| 187 Thank you, Daleson, but now is not the time for secrecy. These people are not my family; these are my own hirelings. Keep no secrets here. |
| 188 Please, you needn't display such deference on my account. My aunty might prefer her servants cowed, but I do not. |
| 189 Oh, I did indeed meet him. The whelp was not much help at all, so I relieved him of his life. |
| 190 What do you mean? He's dead? How? What happened to him? |
| 191 I know, Miss Raelis. You'll have my heart forever, but I must do as I must. Perhaps <CHARNAME> will let me travel with <PRO_HIMHER> for a time, but the Prime beckons this sparrow regardless. |

| 200 My dear raven, valiant as always! You are poetryâ€â€you are song! |

| 204 Come, ye Doomguard, we must be off and swiftly. And you, <CHARNAME>, I can give you nothing but my gratitude. Perhaps we all shall meet again. |
| 205 So, my raven... the Prime is a playground for us both. Shall we journey together to marvel at its glories? |
| 206 I would be pleased to have you join me, Haer'Dalis. |
| 207 I think we should go our own ways for now. Perhaps we shall meet again later. |
| 208 I've no need of you, bard. Begone and good riddance. |
| 209 Wonderful! I have heard a little of your quest... you hold a power in your soul, my raven, that would fascinate any Doomguard. |
| 210 So be it. I will linger with the primes here for a short while yet... Should you change your mind soon, my raven, you can find me in the tavern above. |
| 211 The gem, we have it! Come, my birds, let us to the playhouse fly! The inn is in the Bridge District of this city, in the basement of the Five Flagons. |
| 212 No, we must not leave until that gem is ours. So much depends on it, my wandering hounds. |

| 218 Ah, the playhouse! It is in the basement of this innâ€â€come, let us enter. Miss Raelis will be pleased to see the gifts we bring. |
| 219 I have no problem resorting to violence. I just thought I would give you a chance. |
| 220 You must talk sometimes. You are obviously paid by someone, and had to reach some agreement with him or her. |
| 221 He no tell us. Stronger pay in meat and land! TorGal follow what good! You should have follow gold like other grrthed guards! Now you die! |
| 222 You presents are worthless, we have what need! Stronger pay land and meat, so TorGal tell Rocksmash follow. You should have left like other grrthed guards! |
| 223 Your words are fancy like Stronger, but he pay in meat and land! You not strong in pay like him! Should have left with gold like other small grrthed guards! |
| 224 I need no chance or words with grrthunks like youâ€â€we have Stronger to feed and land too! Why you not leaved with gold for other guards?! You stupid and die! |
| 225 Why did you lie to me, Haer'Dalis? |

| 249 When meat and land are pay, maybe we speak, but he stronger too, and worthy! We do and then we paid! You, kill you! Miss kill other guards, so enjoy kill you! |
| 250 My life not in danger! My life good! Life of Rocksmash good! You life end here! Should leave like other guards with gold, but you stupid g'thunk! |
| 251 If you don't want to deal, I will have to kill you! If you value your life, you will hear me out! |
| 252 Ahh, but maybe I can offer you more than this "Stronger." How will you know if you don't hear me out? |
| 253 So be it! I'll not bother arguing with a skull as thick as yours! |
| 254 1,000 then, 1,000 gold! Please, just fetch the gem. |
| 255 Whenever you are ready, Miss Raelis. |
| 256 'Tis true, I lied to you and not once as you might think, but twice... The stone was not even mine, but Mekrath's, and I was sent to steal it. I'm just an actor on the run, nothing more. A single play has left me a wretched man, my ravens. A single, wrongheaded satire I didn't even write... |
| 257 What play, Haer'Dalis, and how? |
| 258 Okay, okay, I need to know what's going on here. Who are you, where are you from, and what's going on here? Start at the beginning. |
| 259 I wash my hands of this... Miss Raelis, I'm leaving. |
| 260 All right, you lied to me, but you had your reasons. What can I do to help? |
| 261 You may not enter the store at this time. |
| 262 A young conduit. |
| 263 A what? |
| 264 Haer'Dalis, you have returned! ...And who is this that you bring with you? |
| 265 My saviors and my jailors both, it seems. Miss Raelis, may I present <CHARNAME>? And <CHARNAME>, Miss Raelis. |

| 274 It is here, my lady, resting safe with us... I, uh, promised these ravens of mine you would reward them. |
| 275 No, my lady, we do not. It seems my ravens need a little more convincing. |
| 276 Very well. I have upon me 700 coins. Will that be enough? |
| 277 Your purse is generous. Here, then, is the stone you covet. |
| 278 I can make do with that. Let me just go fetch the jewel from where I've hidden it. |
| 279 Don't make me laugh. Goodbye, Miss Raelis, I think our business here is through. |
| 280 Don't make me laugh. Goodbye, Miss Raelis, I think our business here is through. |
| 281 You'll go nowhere, <CHARNAME>. Miss Raelis, call the others. These ravens must not leave here with the stone! |
| 282 Aye, for 1,000 I'll do your deed. Come, Haer'Dalis, let us find ourselves a gem. |
| 283 Neither for a thousand nor a hundred thousand shall I be your gnomish errand-beast. Come, Haer'Dalis, your friends are wearing on my patience. |
| 284 We will be back, Miss Raelis. |
| 285 Be you my captain, jailer, friend, or thief, I shall not have you speak so unto Miss Raelis! Make room for my blades amidst your innards, fool, for that is where they're heading! |
| 286 Zombie Wolf |
| 287 Good, for our time grows short. Here is the thousand gold. Haer'Dalis, tell your friends what we are about. I must prepare the jewel for its summoning. |
| 288 And here be 700 of the petty coins to which you focus your desire. Haer'Dalis, tell them what we are about while I go prepare the stone for summoning. |
| 289 Why do we tarry so? Each hour Miss Raelis is without that gem, we become more lowly sloths than noble hounds. |
| 290 Ravens, ravens, drunk on freedomâ€â€do you not realize that there still be business to which we must attend? Quick, let us bring Mekrath's petty jewel back to my playhouse where it might be more appreciated. |
| 291 I beg of you! We must deliver this gem to good Raelisâ€â€ere she and I are trapped in this foul drama forever! Let us make haste to the Five Flagons! |
| 292 Your folly exceeds my patience and your tedium my intellect. Farewell and good riddance, mice. I shall deliver the jewel myself. |

| 301 With the tools you currently have, there is no way to close the eyes or open the door. The answer must be found elsewhere. |

| 354 It was... dreadful. He was a traitor. He did say Lord de'Arnise was alive, but can we trust his word? He was but a poor peasant. Pity him. |

| 425 Iâ€â€I'll do what I can, Mazzy... I know I can always trust you. |
| 426 Aerie, dear... I see that you begin to become more confident in this world, which is undoubtedly quite strange to you. You're learning what it's like to live and thrive here. |
| 427 Sometimes I am frightened by what I see as well. You are right to be. There is corruption everywhere. You must constantly challenge yourself to remain pure. |
| 428 You are good by nature, Aerie, but perhaps a little naive. Devious people will try to take advantage, especially in mercenary settlements like Athkatla. |
| 429 Seek those who value honor. Observe before you accept, especially in times of adversity. Watch companions in conflict, and you will see them as they truly are. |
| 430 Thank you, Aerie. You are truly a beautiful soul. |
| 431 Truly, mankind was never meant to scurry beneath the land as a weasel or mole. We have not the eyes for such delving. It is a task better suited to the dwarven folk. |
| 432 Worry not, Mazzy, my discomfort is minor. I stumble now and then, but bats find their way on a simple screech, and I do fine with a similar "help" on occasion. |
| 433 There is truth to what you say, but I hesitate only because I prefer to recognize my fears in the light of day. I feel uncomfortable away from open skies. |
| 434 Ah, Mazzy, what a gentle soul you have. I shall always be pleased to have you by my side, but you needn't worry so about me. |
| 435 Others will have more need of the stave you offer, but I will walk by your side without leaning. Lead on, stalwart halfling, I shall follow without fear! |
| 436 Surely, Cernd, your companions shall stand by you as we descend into the bowels of the earth. |
| 437 Sorry we upset you, Mr. Garbage Can. We just want to ask you, is that your natural stench we smell or did you make a mess in your armor because our weapons scared you? |
| 438 Too bad. Goodbye. |

| 468 Are you interested in purchasing a bit of merchandise, my friend? |
| 469 Well, you've got the look of an adventurer about you. I've been one myself, betwixt stints as a turnip salesman that is. Occasionally the markets get down and the formerly self-respecting purveyors of fine veggies are forced to prostitute their abilities in the form of adventuring. |
| 470 Ah well. 'Tis truly your loss. I've many a valuable contraption for you. |
| 471 What I'm getting at, oh-so-friendly one, is that I've items to sell you that are especially created, by yours truly, to aid one on the dangerous path to heroism. They're known as Jan Jansen's (that's me) Flasher Master Bruiser Mates. |
| 472 Argh, not again. That bottom-feeding, turnip-hating, scum-sucking brigand! Nothing better to do than stop an honest businessman from selling high-quality illegal Flashers for a reasonable price. Here he comes; cover for me. |
| 473 You understand implicitly. That reminds me of the time that dear Cousin Josephine fell in with that gully dwarf. Miserable bloke, really. Bad teeth, rancid smell, truly a joke o' the gods. We used to torment Josey, that was my pet name for her, about her teensy-weensy nose and the way that it hooked in to her... |
| 474 Now pay attention: You take one o' these babies and chuck it at average Joe Orc, close your eyes real tight, and WHOOSH! He's running around in circles clutching at his eyeballs and screaming and yelling like Uncle Sven after three days on a turnip beer bender... |
| 475 My point, oh-so-friendly one, is that I've items to sell you that are especially created, by yours truly, to aid one on the dangerous path to heroism. They're known as Jan Jansen's (that's me) Flasher Master Bruiser Mate. |
| 476 Isn't that the way it is with folks? Huffy, grumpy, unbathed and so on. Like an ogre with a finger infection; picking his nose should make him happy, but it just gets him angrier. If you want to buy one of Jan Jansen's Flasher Master Bruiser Mates, you'd best return with a civil tongue and a patient ear. |
| 477 So, you've returned. Interested in making a purchase now? |
| 478 Yes, indeed. What do you carry? |
| 479 Not at present. |
| 480 I've items to sell you that are especially created, by yours truly, to aid one on the dangerous path to heroism. They're known as Jan Jansen's (that's me) Flasher Master Bruiser Mate. |
| 481 Trax, old friend, you do me a great wrong! I would never break the law. As my pappy always said... |
| 482 What cruel fate! Falsely accused by an old friend! |
| 483 <CHARNAME>, you have to break me out! I cannot stand another year in prison. The food is terrible! Come to the guardhouse and pay my fine. I will be your humble servant forever. Help me, <CHARNAME>, you are my only hope. |
| 484 Albert |
| 485 Ah, my old friend. You've come to retrieve me from my unjust imprisonment, I hope. |
| 486 Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a short man named Jens who lived in a large community called Akata. Young Jens was a poor man and an orphan. He did what he had to do to survive. Things such as juggling, miming, and arm-wrestling ogres. |
| 487 To the contrary, I believe that you have gotten what you deserve. |
| 488 Indeed I have. There is, however, the matter of your fine. |
| 489 I haven't enough money to pay your fine yet. |
| 490 Yes, why not? Anyway, poor Jens was tickling chickens one fine summer day when he was approached by an evil half-orc by the name of Trixy. Trixy began beating the completely innocent Jens senseless just because the chickens had told many lies about him earlier. |
| 491 Arm-wrestling ogres? |
| 492 Jens got a beating, but that very night, the chickens were butchered, plucked, and eaten by an ornery dragon who later used Trixy to clean his teeth. |
| 493 That is a truly disturbing story, Jan, but I still won't bail you out. |
| 494 I understand your point. I will pay your fine when I am able to. |
| 495 Why don't you give me a good reason why I should pay your fine? |
| 496 Why not? What merchandise do you carry, good gnome? |
| 497 Not at this time, gnome. |
| 498 All right, all right. What are you getting at? |
| 499 Yes, of course. Mobile vegetable peddling versus heroism, the eternal question. |
| 500 Sorry, gnome. I haven't the time to speak with you at present. |
| 501 Hold, gnome, in the name of the Amnian Revenue and Taxation Board. |
| 502 Abjurer |
| 503 Jan Jansen, gnomish citizen of Amn, you have been charged with tax evasion and the illegal sale of illegal items in an illegal manner. |
| 504 Conjurer |
| 505 Enough! You'll not sidetrack me with your cursed tales again. I'm smarter than you think! |
| 506 Shut up, you! Latrine duty beckons... that's better. We've been onto you for days, Jansen. We've caught you in the very act of selling your dangerous and illegal contraptions. |
| 507 I'm not your friend, Jansen! |
| 508 Oh, that's it! Do you enjoy guarding used chamber pots? |
| 509 I swear this job will land me in an asylum. And who might you be? You're certainly no regular customer of this felon. |
| 510 Well, <CHARNAME>, did this gnome try to sell you illegal merchandise? Specifically, "Flashers," as he calls them? |
| 511 I am <CHARNAME>, an adventurer. |
| 512 None of your business, Trax. |
| 513 Don't I have the right to be silent? |
| 514 I don't know what you're talking about. We were simply talking about the weather. |
| 515 Yes, sir. He tried to sell me a Flasher. |
| 516 Get lost, Trax. I'm not here to answer your petty questions. |
| 517 I'm not here to answer your questions. I've done no wrong, so leave me be. |
| 518 Listen now, peasant. You will cooperate. I represent the law. |
| 519 You heard me. I'll answer none of your questions. |
| 520 Fine, I am <CHARNAME>, an adventurer. |
| 521 Silent? What kind of stupid right is that? You have to answer my questions or face arrest. |
| 522 All right, I am <CHARNAME>, an adventurer. |
| 523 Do you truly believe that you have the strength to arrest me? |
| 524 Curses! The gnome has gotten to you, too! Jansen, you can no longer peddle in Athkatla. As for you, <CHARNAME>, you have made a dangerous enemy. |
| 525 I am, you idiot! Move it! Back to the office! |
| 526 Aha! Jan Jansen, we have a witness. Take him into custody. As for you, <CHARNAME>, you have done a good deed and are entitled to the reward of 100 gp. |
| 527 Thank you, sir. It was the least that a conscientious citizen could do. |
| 528 I don't want your dirty money. This man does not deserve to be arrested. |
| 529 Do you wish to be executed for not cooperating? |
| 530 Do you truly believe that you have the strength to kill me? |
| 531 In that case, I am ready to answer your question. |
| 532 I believe you. It is Jan Jansen that we want. By Amnian law, you must answer my question, but I will tell you now that there is a 100 gp reward for any information leading to the arrest of this gnome. |
| 533 You may either answer me peacefully or I shall summon those who will kill you instead. What say you? |
| 534 Do your worst! |
| 535 I will answer the question. |
| 536 Should you feel inclined to pay Jan's fine, as the gnome quite obviously wants you to, you shall find the prison on the other side of the square. The fine is 800 gp. Very well! Good day! |
| 537 If you believe that he should be free, you are welcome to come down to the guardhouse and pay his fine. |
| 538 How much is the fine, and where is this guardhouse? |
| 539 You have brought this doom upon yourselves, lawbreakers. |
| 540 The fine shall be 800 gp. The guardhouse is located on the opposite side of this square. |
| 541 *snicker* |
| 542 (You're not anyone's friend.) |
| 543 Sorry, sir. |
| 544 Who's the dangerous enemy? |
| 545 What is your point? |
| 546 Look, my gnomish friend, I'm really too busy to chitchat right now. Perhaps another time. |
| 547 Would you shut up already?! By the heavens, that is annoying! |
| 548 There goes a truly evil man. Uncle Scratchy seems like a saint in comparison. Regardless, it seems that I'm once again out of the black market. At least until I scrounge up a fortune to set up my business and have Trax's superiors well bribed. Do you be needing a hand in your party? |
| 549 A fast mouth, a handy shot with a crossbow, and all the illegal machinery that I can invent. |
| 550 I do indeed, Jan. Welcome aboard! |
| 551 What skills can you offer my party? |
| 552 I don't need another tagalong, gnome. Get out of my sight and be thankful I've helped you at all. |
| 554 Thank you for offering, but I believe it to be better that I go on without you for the time being. |
| 555 I would like to have you join my party. |
| 556 You're not really what I need right now. Perhaps at a later time. |
| 557 You sound rather useless, gnome. |
| 558 There's no call for insults, you tactless orc-lover. Obviously, it is better that I not join your party. |
| 559 Your loss. If you change your mind, I live in the less than opulent side of town, the slums if you will. I'll probably have a turnip stand, slowly working my way up to a nice bribe. Good luck to you. |
| 560 I am but an impoverished gnome. If you can pay this fine for me, I will join and fight with you. As I once told you, I have been an adventurer in the past and should probably get out of the retail business for a time anyway. What say you? |
| 561 I shall have to think about it. |
| 562 It sounds very good, Jan. Allow me to pay the fine and set you free. |
| 563 What do you have to offer my party? |
| 564 You are indeed family. No other could have lived to oppose me in person. Of course, it will not matter in the end. Ultimately, I will prevail, and a new era will be born unto the realms. |
| 565 Pay the guard when you are ready and able. As Pappy used to say during that unfortunate fiasco with the githyanki, "You'd better pay now before the bastards really get greasy." |
| 566 It's your neck, chicken. I'll make a most excellent addition to your party should you decide to give me a chance. |
| 567 You shall not regret it. |
| 568 A fast mouth, a handy shot with a crossbow, and all the illegal machinery that I can invent. |
| 569 I would like to have you join my party. Allow me to pay the fine. |
| 570 Maybe another time, Jan. |
| 571 Why do you have this man lie for you? What have you to hide? |
| 572 You associate with this... stable boy? What can he offer a woman of your standing? |
| 573 Go to the stables often, do you? I take it you prefer the company of... common men? |
| 575 Here they are now: Feldepost's thugs. Strike when I tell you to. |
| 576 Have you decided to pay the fine and free me now? |
| 577 I am unable to afford it yet. |
| 578 Yes, I have. I will pay the guard and have you freed. |
| 579 Most excellent, my friend. Thank you for paying that tragically unfair fine for me. |
| 580 You did try to sell illegal machinery, you know. |
| 581 It was nothing, Jan. |
| 582 It was always an unfair law. I was simply filling in one of the niche markets for a desperate consumer population. Regardless, I am now free and would like to know your intentions. Will you have me join your party? |
| 583 A fair question. I use the door to leave unseen. Aunty prefers no contact with the people we govern, but lack of breeding is no cause for bad treatment. |
| 584 It's not a matter of what he has to offer, but what I should offer his kind. I use the door to leave unseen, to dispense charity without Aunty's knowledge. |
| 585 Mind your tongue, lout! That's a lady you are talking to! |
| 586 Well, it seems that I'm once again out of the black market. At least until I scrounge up a fortune to set up my business and have Trax's superiors well bribed. Do you be needing a hand in your party? |
| 587 Yes, I would. Welcome! |
| 588 Not at this time, Jan. Perhaps later. |
| 589 Yes, I would. Welcome! |
| 590 Not at this time, Jan. Perhaps later. |
| 591 It's all right, Daleson. It is nothing I have not heard from Aunty already. |
| 592 Ah, the fabled savior of yonder gnome. You've come to pay his fine? |
| 593 Yes, I would like to pay his fine. |
| 594 I don't know what you're talking about. What gnome? |

| 596 Appearance |
| 597 abjurer |
| 598 He would like to think so, but I am not planning to pay his way out of jail. |
| 599 At last! That gnome is the worst prisoner I ever had! He keeps picking the lock, complains about the food... even my hygiene! Just pay the 800 gp and take him! |
| 600 I'm afraid that I don't have enough gold right now. |
| 601 I've changed my mind. Enjoy your day! |
| 602 Here is your gold. |
| 603 Look, I can spot you 200 gp. Do you have just 600 gp? |
| 604 Yes, I do. It's a deal. |
| 605 I'm afraid that I just don't have enough. |
| 606 I refuse to take your charity. You'll simply have to wait. |
| 607 You're not <CHARNAME>? Ah well. I guess I'll just cling to the hope that someone will bail him out... or buy me enough liquor to drink myself senseless. |
| 608 Ah well. I suppose I shall have to cling to the hope that someone will bail him out or at least buy me enough liquor to drink myself senseless. |
| 609 Am I to be cursed with this gnome forever? You're driving me to drink! You and my mother both. Take pity on a simple man... come back and pay the fine. |
| 610 Right, she's one stuffed old biddy, isn't she? We got a saying for her kind, we do. South end of a northbound ogre... |
| 611 That will do, Daleson! You will not talk of her thus! |
| 612 Excellent! He is free, so, please, take him and go. |
| 613 Most excellent! He is free, so, please, take him and go. Remember, you do owe me 200 gp. |
| 614 M-my apologies, Miss Nalia, I... I meant nothing... |
| 615 I'm certain you didn't. Regardless of her attitude, she is still a noble in this house. Now then, we must set about reclaiming this place for my family. |
| 616 Well, by Aunt Petunia's beard! A ghost from my past? Looking to buy some turnips, perhaps? |
| 617 Thanks, but no thanks. I have sought you out to have you join my party. |
| 618 I cannot stop to chat. Another time, maybe. |

| 621 I do not keep servants at all. Better that people are allowed to work for themselves. |
| 622 If it makes you happy, you can tell your friends that I've pressured you into joining. |
| 623 I'm not going to waste my time trying to cajole you, Jan. Goodbye. |
| 624 As you will. Remember, there's no turnips like Jansen turnips. Farewell. |
| 625 Nice doing business with you. Is there aught else that you desire? |
| 626 I find Aunty is quite unreceptive to these ideas. She is old school, and believes lesser classes are best reminded of their position at all times. I disagree. |
| 627 I have news of them, Miss Nalia, though it ain't all good. Lord de'Arnise was alive this morning, and I saw him taken into the keep by a real big troll, biggest I seen. Probably took him down to the... |
| 628 Cellars! The "cellars" is what they are. I won't have them called otherwise in this day and age, despite their history. It is by my father's order. |
| 629 Yes, Miss Nalia. He fought bravely, but didn't make it to his flail, or perhaps didn't get enough parts. There is one hidden around here somewhere, I guess, but he never told anyone where. |
| 630 Yes, it is. You are a good man, Daleson. |
| 631 Enough talk! We must get moving before we are discovered. |
| 632 We must get moving. If we are through here, we should get to those cellars. |
| 633 So we should find your father? I need to know what numbers we will be facing. |
| 634 More fools to rescue? Wonderful. Anything you can say that would help at all? |
| 635 A quaint notion, and one I would support. I think, however, that it would be hard to convince the old school of the merit of such a change. |
| 636 As you wish. I agree we must rescue my father with all haste. Aunty may also be alive, and it would be best if we could get to her as well. Let us go then. |
| 637 How would you like to put vegetable peddling behind you for a time and join my party? |
| 638 Not today, Jan. Goodbye. |
| 639 As Uncle Scratchy used to say, "A true friend is a bald-faced liar." Let us depart then, my new companion. I've an itch to pepper a few hobgoblins with crossbow bolts. |
| 640 Did I ever tell you the tale of the lobotomized orc, my good knight Anomen? |
| 641 Well, anyway, as a child, my mammy would give us kids a bowl of gravel, which was all that we could afford, and tell us this parable. Now listen, knighty, lest you be eating gravel. |
| 642 'Twas once a heavily brain-damaged orc called Ano. Ano was trudging through the forest one day, looking for bull droppings with which he could stuff his mattress, when he happened across a remarkable scene. A brave and noble knight, Jen the Brilliant by name, fought with an evil giant. Ano watched as Jen slew the giant. |
| 643 Then the knight rode off to save several small children from a wicked witch, also known as a noblewoman, who was attempting to poison the poor dears. Regardless, Ano promptly cut off the head of the fallen giant, ran home to his home in the Dung Orc village, and claimed that he had killed the monster. |
| 644 Did I mention that Ano had a nasty habit of interrupting folk? Anyway, the giant's brother heard of his sibling's demise and the subsequent display of his head in Dung Town. He caught up to Ano, who was stupidly stuffing his mattress with bull dung, and returned to his cave with the orc stuffed through his belt. |
| 645 As punishment for his brother's supposed murderer, he tied a porcupine to the orc's head and proceeded to clean his latrine with the makeshift orc brush. Much to the giant's dismay, Ano actually enjoyed it. |
| 646 Fascinating tale, that! I love to tell it! |
| 647 Calm yourself, Ano. There was no insult to you. It was merely a parable told to me by my dear departed mother. |
| 648 Whenever you wish to try it, Ano. |

| 651 The seemingly friendly merchants suddenly change shapes so that they look like you! |
| 652 Special Snare |
| 653 STANDARD ATTACK : |
| 654 I seen maybe thirty trolls. They were bossing something called a "yuan-ti," but I don't know how many of those there are. Weird things, but everything about this is odd. |
| 655 Enough, Daleson! I... I will tell. The cellar is a relic, a leftover from a time when our family... was not as caring as it could have been. |
| 656 Now here, I'll respect yer wishes, but I'll not have you dress it up none. Tell it for what it is. |
| 657 How dare you! I've done so much to make amends... no, no, you are right. The "cellar" is... a dungeon. My father walled it up, but it had seen much use... |
| 658 Never, Miss Nalia! They got but barest of service for me life. I would never... |
| 659 Fine, I believe you, but how did they know? Father would not tell. Come, we must go. Daleson, prepare what others you can find for a return to service. |
| 660 Yes, Miss Nalia. |
| 661 So you come from the winged folk, do you, lass? |
| 662 No need to be formal, lassie. Call me Jan. I was recently reminded of my ex-brother-in-law, Burt Wunderkind, fabulous griffon-baiter. |
| 663 Yes, of course. It's something of a cottage industry amongst Amnian gnomes. Quite simple, I've heard. You merely tame a couple of wyverns and WHOOSH, tear through the sky to fling insults at the hapless griffons. |
| 664 Really? Everyone I know has a pet wyvern. Taming wyverns is child's play, literally. As children, we'd tame wyverns. It's easy since they have such an affinity for turtles. Back in the old days it used to rain turtles on even days and frogs on odd days. |
| 665 That's what I thought until the drought hit. There were ornery wyverns everywhere. After a rich diet of turtle mash, you couldn't expect them to merely accept bacon without eating a few human nobles, now, could you? |
| 666 Of course, by then, Burt was such successful griffon-baiter that the authorities just couldn't find it in their hearts to make us leash the wyverns. The loss of the noble class is truly a small price to pay to maintain the continuity of such a fine sport. There's nothing like the look of incredulity on a griffon's face to keep one's spirits up. |
| 667 Don't you worry, lass. If Burt ever pops by, we'll get you up in the air faster than a chicken with one of Jan Jansen's Flasher Master Bruiser Mates tied to his rear. Trust me, that is fast! |
| 668 Thank you, m'<LADYLORD>. Let us make haste then to the Government District, and I will point out my estate to you when we pass its gates. |
| 669 I must say, it was only practical. My mother was of noble birth and my father a ranking cleric. I might have followed in his pages, but it lacked the appeal of holy warrior. |
| 670 If you wouldst write of me, write of me as I would wish to be remembered. |
| 671 As do you, Korgan. But alas, blades be far too lengthy for the vertically challenged, I hazard a guess. |
| 672 Your axe has claimed a few close to you, we know. I'd not put a revisit to the same impulse past you. |
| 673 We all do, Korgan. Our lord makes this world a vale of tears and sorrow. And, alas, few are saved. Infinitely more are damned. |
| 674 Yes, m'<LADYLORD>, but I cannot stay away forever. This long absence preys upon my conscience even as we speak. |
| 675 Y-yesâ€â€yes, sir. |
| 676 A... A griffon-baiter? |
| 677 Oh, I didn't think you could tame a wyvern. |
| 678 Why, that's ridiculous! |
| 679 I... I wish I could fly. I haven't since I was aâ€â€since I was a kid. |
| 680 The character will defend <PRO_HIMHER>self if attacked, or if <PRO_HESHE> see enemies. (<script>). |
| 681 CAUTIOUS : |
| 682 The character flees at the first sign of danger. This script is intended to protect the protagonist or another character whom you don't want inadvertently slain. (<script>) |
| 683 The character will not rush into combat. If an enemy attacks the character, <PRO_HESHE> will defend <PRO_HIMHER>self, preferring ranged weapons over melee. (<script>) |
| 684 PASSIVE : |
| 685 RANGED : |
| 686 The character will attack any enemy when <PRO_HESHE> sees them with the missile weapon <PRO_HESHE> is most proficient with. The character will try to keep <PRO_HISHER> distance from enemies, but if <PRO_HESHE>'s attacked in melee combat, <PRO_HESHE> will switch to a melee weapon. (<script>) |
| 687 So, Valygar, how do you like being a ranger? |
| 688 Well, if you're asking, then yes. It happens that my Aunt Petunia is a ranger, don't you know? |
| 689 She had the standard followers: a hydra, a shadow dragon, and a solar. She had the dragon trained to roll over, play dead, and fetch dwarves. She called him Blackie, I believe. Loved to run and play and lie in the sun. |
| 690 Long and far she'd roam, with Larry the Solar always at her side, fighting evil, mocking druids, and the like. |
| 691 Anyway, my point is that Petunia and Larry were out for a stroll in the woods. She was wearing her fruit armor, which was the style at the time, you understand. Aunt Petunia always kept up with the style. |
| 692 Larry had a nasty case of the plague... |
| 693 Very well. We'll continue this story at the next opportunity. |
| 694 I can't wait. |
| 695 I did say he was a necromancer, didn't I? As I understand it, Lavok felt that tampering with the veil that separates life from death was his prerogative. |
| 696 The old family was, yes. They continued to practice Lavok's magics long after he left, but my particular branch was not interested in such pursuits. |
| 697 They left in disgust, watching from afar as the old family crumbled over the years. And then my family inherited what little of Lavok's fortune was left. |
| 698 Thank you for the compliments, dwarf. |
| 700 Before you know it, you've spent your life in the library, having never seen the light of day, never truly lived. Believe me, I know this only too well. |
| 701 Nalia, dearie, you remind me so much of Cletus Bifflelips, my second cousin, thrice removed. |
| 702 You wouldn't think so, yet here we are. You see, Cletus had a propensity for bouts of violent projectile vomiting. We'd call him, Cletus the Room Clearer Bifflelips. |
| 703 Now just bear with me for a moment, Nalia. You see, it was after one such bout that Cletus, feeling quite ill, took a painful stroll down to the local witch-woman, in the vague hope that she might have a cure for his problem. |
| 704 After paying the 1,000-gold-piece consulting fee and vomiting in the proffered bucket, the witch gave Cletus an herbal tea, which he was to drink twice per day for a score of days. |
| 705 Drinking it everyday on schedule, yet failing to notice any change in his condition, Cletus began to worry. Upon finishing his final cup of tea, Cletus vomited. |
| 706 No need to force your ridiculously high standards onto poor, deceased Cletus. |
| 707 Actually, he's not dead. I made that part up. Well, needless to say, Cletus was somewhat angry, so he went back to confront the witch. She had, of course, taken the money and left town. But in her haste to escape the vomiting wrath of Cletus Bifflelips, the witch left her belongings behind. |
| 708 Cletus, at the height of his anger, swiped her entire collection of novels written by noted folklorist Nalia de Bouche. I'll be the first to admit that revenge was not Cletus's forte. |
| 709 Well, they can't all be gems. 'Tis one of my favorites, however. |
| 710 All this traveling is beginning to wear on me... I can't remember the last time I walked so much in a single day. Haha haha... it's something my aunt should try, I think... instead of being hauled about in her gilded carriage. |
| 711 I don't think that I could be very much like a person named Cletus. |
| 712 Please, Jan! This is too ridiculous, even for you! |
| 713 This is disgusting, Jan. |
| 714 I'm sorry. His illness killed him, did it? |
| 715 Honestly, Jan, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. |
| 716 I do not understand. Aside from a few servants, we've seen very few dead. Where are the guards? They would have fought to the last. My father's bodyguard, Glaicus, should have been here in the bedroom, yet I see no body. |
| 717 The cowards probably ran away. I bet they were spoiled rotten by rich living. |
| 718 They may have been captured for food. Perhaps they are storing the bodies elsewhere? |
| 719 How strong was their loyalty to you? Perhaps they simply decided it was not worth the fight. |
| 720 Perhaps they were not as effective as you thought they might be. |
| 721 Weak grrthunks! Me smell you! You stupid to come here! TorGal kill you all, make you food for Rocksmash pack! |
| 722 We've come to get you out of my home, monster! You will leave this place or die here! |
| 723 TorGal not die here! Only stupids who stay will die! Why you here? Too stupid to take gold and go with other grrthns? |
| 724 I am here because this is my home! You will pay for this affront to the dignity of this place! |
| 725 You live this place? Then thrrgle you die! That was deal, and you die for sure! Rocksmash pack keep deal for Stronger! |
| 726 What?! What deal? Someone put you up to this? Who was it? My father will have them quartered! |
| 727 Father dead! That deal when he not talk! You die too, and TorGal not say anything to grrthle stupid! That deal too, and Rocksmash not break good deal! You die like should! |
| 728 No! Tell me who did this. If you are just the hired ruffians, who put you up to it?! Damnation, you will tell me! Make him talk, <CHARNAME>! |
| 729 TorGal not talk! Rocksmash not talk! You not talk! We fight, then Rocksmash eat tthhrgunts! No talk! |
| 730 I assure you, the servants were not spoiled. Aunty would not have tolerated it. The servants were loyal, I am certain. The guards were different though. |
| 731 I would not like to think about that. Some of the servants were good acquaintances. They appreciated my charity, I think. |
| 732 I don't think it was like that. The guards were well paid. It is more likely they are dead, but Glaicus would have given his life out of friendship for my father. |
| 733 They were more than capable, I assure you. Father has an eye for such things, and they also came from a well-recommended source. No, they were very competent. |
| 734 My... my home. My father... what is left? Someone has done this... but who...? |
| 735 I take it that my job here is done? Am I free to leave now? |
| 736 I cannot ease your pain. I have done what I could, but there is little else for me to do here. |
| 737 I feel as though my work is not done. I could not save your father, and I am sorry. |
| 738 Sorry that I can't stick around to figure it out. You did say something about a reward? |
| 739 I have done what I can. Might I expect a reward? I do not mean to appear crass. |
| 740 You may go if you wish. I will stay... oh no. Wait! Um, could you stay longer? I need... oh forget it. Damn it all, if it's not one thing it's another! |
| 741 Farewell then. Take care. |
| 742 What is it now? Speak up, I've not got all day! |
| 743 What is it? Is there something else I can help you with? |
| 744 I am thankful, and I will give you what reward I can. Now that father is gone, I have to... oh no. Uh, could I persuade you to... uh... no. No, forget it. |
| 745 Thank you, yes. I will just take my reward and go. Farewell and good luck. |
| 746 What is it now? Speak up, I'll not lose sleep tonight wondering what you would have said. |
| 747 Is there something else that can be done for you? I am willing to listen. |
| 748 I will see what I can do. Now that Father is gone, I will have to... oh no. Uh, wait! Could you... no. Forget I said anything. You should go. |
| 749 Thank you. I bid you farewell. |
| 750 Finish what you began, Nalia. I'll not waste sleep wondering what you were about to utter. |
| 751 Is there something else I can do? Speak freely if there is. |
| 752 Here, have what gold is on hand. I care not about it. It doesn't really matter at this point. Goodbye. I wish you well. |
| 753 It's... it's a matter of what happens now. I am... betrothed to a man I do not wish to marry. Father said he would stall as long as I wished him to, but now he is gone. |
| 754 I see. You wish a marriage of convenience to stave off the advances of your intended. |
| 755 Do you want a marriage of convenience? Interesting, but I doubt it would fool your intended. |
| 756 I could kill this man. It would solve your problem in a timely manner. |
| 757 Speak on. What is it you are proposing to avoid the proposal? A disappearance? |
| 758 To you? Nothing so distasteful. That would hardly be an improvement; no one would believe I would prefer the likes of you. Err, no offense intended. Really. |
| 759 Imagine the scandal. Who would believe I would have relations with you, even if you were the appropriate sex? I mean, I am charitable, but really... err, no offense intended. |
| 760 That is hardly an acceptable solution! I will have no part of that! Though if it were to look like an accident... NO! No, I don't think that will be necessary. |
| 761 No, that would solve nothing. I would have to face it eventually, and it would not do for me to be seen avoiding traditional duties. |
| 762 Alvanhendar |
| 763 No, what I propose is something different. I doubt it will fool many people regardless, but it would save my home from what is sure to be ill use. |
| 764 They epitomize what I hate about nobles. Everyone is beneath their status, and if you wish any respect, you must be of their social number. |
| 765 My father was born with a title, but he demanded that people distinguish themselves through deeds. He obeyed etiquette, but he did not hide his distaste for it. |
| 766 Certainly this might not sound like a crisis to you, but I have spent my life trying to right some of the wrongs that have been done to those of lesser status. |
| 767 I assure you, you need not worry about the task ahead. You can only benefit from it, and with as little effort as you wish. |
| 768 It is my right as heir to choose who leads this place. I couldn't stand before the Roenalls effectively. You, with your... talents, would prove a daunting figure. |
| 769 Cattack |
| 770 I was betrothed to Isaea Roenall, a brat of a man. Now they will surely push the arrangement, and I will be forced into a life of quiet nobility. |
| 771 Well, that certainly sounds horrible. All that luxury. Pardon me if I don't cry you a river. |
| 772 And so you will become part of the system you hate. What recourse do you have? |
| 773 A long and tedious tale, Nalia. Kindly get to what it is you want from me. |
| 774 I really wish I could help, gosh I do. If you are through, I'll take my reward and go. |
| 775 I am sorry for your troubles, but I really must be going. Good luck to you, Nalia. |
| 776 The Roenalls would accept this? I find that hard to believe. |
| 777 And what would I have to do to assume this role? What would be needed of me? |
| 778 <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>. I like the sound of that. |
| 779 Glass Dust |
| 780 You are just trying to saddle your troubles onto me! |
| 781 Please, this will ensure that the Roenalls do not take control. They are oppressive nobles, and will not direct this place in a way that will honor my father. |
| 782 You will do ceremonial things, but nothing overtly stressful. Please, the Roenalls would not use this place in a way that would honor my father. |
| 783 You will prove a daunting figure, and my servants and I will be shielded from the Roenalls. Please, even Aunty will push for their coming if I do not act quickly. |
| 784 It's not uncommon for a fighting <PRO_MANWOMAN> to take possession when the lord of the manor is... dead. With you as head, this place will continue to honor my father. |
| 785 It will be an honor to guide this place through its troubles. I shall strive to see it flourish. |
| 786 I'll take your offer, and damn those that stand in our way. We'll see this place run proper. |
| 787 I cannot accept. There are others that would suit it better, I am sure. I am sorry. |
| 788 I accept. It will be an honor to guide this place through its troubles. |
| 789 I'll take your offer, and damn those that stand in our way. We'll see this place run proper. |
| 790 I cannot accept. There are others that would suit it better, I am sure. I am sorry. |
| 791 I'm not having anything to do with this. Find yourself another stooge. |
| 792 I'm not having anything to do with this. Find yourself another stooge. |
| 793 I accept. It will be an honor to guide this place through its troubles. |
| 794 I'll take your offer, and damn those that stand in our way. We'll see this place run proper. |
| 795 I cannot accept. There are others that would suit it better, I am sure. I am sorry. |
| 796 I'm not having anything to do with this. Find yourself another stooge. |
| 797 I accept. It will be an honor to guide this place through its troubles. |
| 798 I'll take your offer, and damn those that stand in our way. I'll see this place run proper. |
| 799 I cannot accept. There are others that would suit it better, I am sure. I am sorry. |
| 800 I'm not having anything to do with this. Find yourself another stooge. |
| 801 Wonderful! They can't force me out now, and Isaea can forget the blasted betrothal. You are now master, within reason. I remain blood heir and can take it away. |
| 802 But... very well. I will remain here to do what must be done. If you change your mind, there is time before the Roenalls would be able to take over. Think about it. |
| 803 Yes? That is my name. What can I do for you, son? |

| 855 Gauntlets of Crushing |
| 856 The journal lists a number of experiments, apparently conducted by a mage known as Lium the Lucky. The section dealing with the machine in front of you draws your eye: "What a wondrous contraption! It creates, enchants, and dispenses magical equipment of no small power by pulling these six levers in the correct order. The ranking of the levers seems to change daily, and pulling them in the incorrect order results in painful and instant death, as I've deduced from the bloodstains on the floor. I've gotten the order correct for the last few days and sent the items home with Pooky. It is well that I found the machine when I did, for it hasn't much life left. Each item it creates damages the inner workings further, and soon I fear it shall fall apart. The previous order was: 1) Ruby 2) Jade 3) Mithral 4) Onyx 5) Emerald 6) Sandalwood. I've taken apart what pieces of the machine I could, and found the device that sets the ranking of the levers. With it, as stated, the order for the past several days was clear. Now the cursed thing has broken and I've garnered hardly any information from it at all. This is what I *have* discovered: A) The jade lever's change in ranking was the greatest of the six levers. B) The product of the onyx lever's rankings for the two days (when multiplied) is same as the product of the sandalwood lever's last two rankings when multiplied. C) None of the levers are ever in the exact same place in line as they were yesterday. D) Obviously, due to the change in the jade lever's order, there are only two possibilities regarding the change in the orders of the onyx and sandalwood levers, one of which contradicts another clue. E) It is likely that the mithral lever moved the same number of rankings as the sandalwood lever. Quite the dilemma and the guesswork is risky. However, the items I've obtained are worth the risk and, with logic, I'm sure that I'll discover the correct order for today." The journal says no more. |
| 857 A foreigner from the east who went by the name of Floating Bear became well-known through the Sword Coast. Unarmed and unarmored, he bested many powerful warriors. One night, in the arms of a lady of the night, he whispered his secret. His martial arts training was supplemented by the thin gauntlets he wore, which allowed him to hit more accurately and with harder punches than bare fists would normally allow. The woman stole the gloves and took the next boat out. Floating Bear soon left, returning to his homeland.

| 945 It would be best to face the culprit another day on our own terms, so go and be quick. We must free ourselves soon. |
| 946 I care not. In fact, I think I'll leave you to distract any guards. |
| 947 Such a chore to protect all these people from their own ineptitude. |
| 948 I will help, but your cage seems to be sealed magically. |
| 949 More baggage for me? I think I'll leave you all behind to distract the guards. |
| 950 I will decide what course is best. First, I shall see to your cage. |
| 951 Of course, though the bars that bind you seem warded by a magic of some sort. |
| 952 I need neither them nor you. Your ceaseless prattle will only slow me down. |
| 953 Ahh, he likes it. Now, have you found a way out of that cage? |
| 954 Forgive my manner; you are right, of course. I will do what I can. |
| 955 Such callous disregard! We have fought together and traveled long! You would toss that aside like so much rubbish?! |
| 956 I neither understand nor appreciate such humor. If you are to effect my release, best you set to doing it. |
| 957 Know you well that this will not be forgotten! You have turned as I thought you might, and will get what is deserved! |
| 958 I do not recall you being so cold. Perhaps I have had some memory loss myself, but this will not be forgotten. If I live, I shall see you pay. |
| 959 Do not get too close; if I could reach you, you would regret it. |
| 960 Where? He who sneaks up on Minsc loses teeth! |
| 961 Stop it! Boo is not for you, tiny! You'll hurt him! |
| 962 No, I know best when talking of Boo. If you could hear his wishes, you would agree, but you cannot. The words of Boo are for Minsc alone. |
| 963 I can and will. And another thing; no more sneaking Boo crackers. He is getting rather portly, and the crumbs make for an itchy bedroll. |
| 964 Eh, weather is nice... mmmaybe... |
| 965 *grunt* |
| 966 What is too bad? |
| 967 What do you mean? |
| 968 An itch? Can you not scratch it? |
| 969 What can Minsc do to help? A tragedy, this is! I will slay those that need slaying! |
| 970 It is only fair, big-nosed little one. We will do all that we can to aid you. |
| 971 You will not steal Boo from me! I know your tricks! |
| 972 Boo shall comfort the little dying gnome for a moment. Only a moment! |
| 973 Alone? No, I draw the line... hey! Stand still! I warn you! |
| 974 I'll throttle you with your own arms if you do not return him this instant! This is no longer amusing! It was never amusing! I am not laughing! |
| 975 That's right, you apologize! It's hard enough keeping Boo's roaming in check without you stealing him. Bad Jan! There will be a booting if this happens again! |
| 976 Minsc! Look out! Behind you! |
| 977 C'mon, Boo! Quickly, come to Jan! |
| 978 He likes me. Gnomes are far cuddlier than oafish humans. |
| 979 You can't fault a fellow for trying. |
| 980 Ah, Minsc! 'Tis truly a beautiful day, no? |
| 981 It is a day to get out into the world, to breathe in the fresh air. |
| 982 Too bad, though... |
| 983 It's too bad that I won't live to enjoy it. |
| 984 Hadn't you heard, old friend? I've got the Calimshan itch. Alas, poor Jan! *sob* *sob* |
| 985 Only death will cure this itch. I shall not live out this day. Oh, terrible powers of the heavens! Why will you let me die without granting me a final wish? Cruel, cruel fate! |
| 986 I do have one final wish... no, no. I do not wish to burden my companions with my death. My teensy-weensy wish is unimportant. Travel on, good Minsc. Carry the torch and so forth. |
| 987 Truly, it is a small thing. As a child, I had a pet hamster, named Spanky. Those were the only pure days in my life. Every day was perfection. Oh, the pain! If I could just hold a hamster while I die, perhaps I could capture the innocence of my youth and die a happy gnome. |
| 988 'Tis no trick. *cough* *cough* Nevertheless, you are correct about one thing, my oafish friend. I do not deserve happiness. Please, leave me to my excruciatingly painful death. I am close now... Spanky, I miss you! |
| 989 Ah, thank you, Minsc. May I have a moment alone? |
| 990 At last Boo is mine! I cannot believe this stupid trick worked. Come, noble hamster, a life of frivolity awaits. |
| 991 All right, all right. It was only a jest, Minscy. I meant no harm. |
| 992 There is nothing I want here. Goodbye. |
| 993 Perhaps I have come back to release you and ask forgiveness. Perhaps... |
| 994 I am truly sorry for what was said earlier. I do intend to rescue you. |
| 995 I'm not going to leave you here for long, just until I find the key for your chains. |
| 996 You had best leave, and quickly. If I find my release from here, I will have your head on a pike! It will be as I should have done long ago! |
| 997 Do you think me so weak of mind as to believe you, or so weak of spirit as to beg you? No, your choice is made clear and I will not indulge you further. |
| 998 No matter. Goodbye, Jaheira. |
| 999 Then we have nothing more to discuss. |
| 1000 Truly, my apologies. I will release you as soon as I am able. |
| 1001 And I have cause to believe this? I think not. Prove your intent by actually carrying out the deed, and then we shall see if I must kill you or not. |
| 1002 Do what you will. You have already proven as reliable as a tamed owlbear. |
| 1003 I shall see you again; you had best count on that. There will be blood that pays for your lies. |
| 1004 Hello again, I see you have not had much luck. Do keep trying. We should leave this place as soon as we are able. |
| 1005 I'll do what I can. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. |
| 1006 I don't think there's much else I can do. I'm going to have to leave without you. |
| 1007 Yes, yes, I'm hurrying as fast as I can! |
| 1008 I should hope so. If we stand about much longer, we are sure to be caught once more. |
| 1009 Do not think me overly domineering; I am just eager to leave. Please hurry. |
| 1010 You have my gratitude, but I'll not look at you the same way again. You should not indulge that side of yourself. It does not honor the memory of Gorion. |
| 1011 I have little memory of that past. Get on your way. I have no need of you. |
| 1012 Does my free will hinge on only doing just what you suggest? |
| 1013 I make no apologies. Join or not; the choice is yours. |
| 1014 I was wrong to suggest leaving you here. Will you adventure at my side? |
| 1015 So be it. I thank you for my "rescue." If we meet again, I doubt it will be as pleasant as this. Take care; you've certainly chosen a rocky path. |
| 1016 I must go. I think it is best that I leave before our host returns. Perhaps we will meet again, and perhaps it will be under favorable terms. I doubt it. |
| 1017 No matter, as I will not be put off so easily. I will join and follow as you see fit. See that we do not stray too far afield lest I regret my decision. |
| 1018 Perhaps we shall meet again, and perhaps we shall even both be on the side of right. Perhaps, though it does not look likely. |
| 1019 I make no apologies. Join or not; the choice is yours. |
| 1020 I still believe you will choose the right path, and I shall be at your side while you do. I hope you do not disappoint, or make me regret my decision. |
| 1021 Well, that is a relief, and about time too. We should be going immediately. Not only might our "host" come back, I simply must see the sun again in none too short a time. This dank place stifles me. |
| 1022 We will leave immediately and celebrate once we are out of this hole. |
| 1023 You are welcome so long as you remember I am leader. We do as I will. |
| 1024 Find your own way out. We have a greater chance of escape if we split up. |
| 1025 "We" won't be going. I rescued you, but I neither need nor desire your company. |
| 1026 As you would have it, though there are other friends we must find as well. It is good to share your company again. |
| 1027 This place has hardened your manner. I do not remember you being so quick with a cold remark. Lead on as you wish, but do tread carefully, will you? |
| 1028 Joia's Flamedance Ring |
| 1029 I would disagree with your logic. Once noticed, would not smaller groups be more likely to be captured? There is safety in the company of friends. |
| 1030 I do not wish that company. I am sorry, but you must find your own way out. |
| 1031 You are right, of course. Join with me and we shall escape this place. |
| 1032 If a group is noticed, there is a good chance it will not be mine. Understand? |
| 1033 An effective plan, but as cold and calculating as the walls that hold us. So be it, but it won't be I that is captured. Perhaps we will meet again. |

| 1124 I can't stand seeing all these taverns around the city. They exist simply to drain the poorer classes of their money and throw them into such a stupor that they can't even realize their oppression. |
| 1125 Aye, my darling loon, drink is to the poor what theater is to the rich: a costly chance to play out fantasies that never shall come true. |
| 1126 Don't patronize me, Haer'Dalis, for I have never done the same to you. |
| 1127 Then we will not disturb his body further. We will honor his loss with future deeds. |
| 1128 Whatever you say, though I still think you are just giving up. |
| 1129 And I shall, Haer'Dalis. I shall. |
| 1131 Ha, my dear, 'tis true, for had your family patronized me while I was still with the theater, I would be far wealthier than I am today! |
| 1132 Should we try to have him saved? If we are careful and bring him to a temple... |
| 1133 No, but I would at least try to save him. I hope you do not make a habit of this. |
| 1134 I suppose not. Very well, we will honor him by bringing his killer to justice. |

| 1139 A word, good knight Anomen... In the last battle, I noticed you pulling back and parrying... Next time you see an opening like that, my advice is to take advantage of it. |
| 1140 That is the way of things. There will be... there will be payment for this crime, and I shall not rest until it is collected. When we are able, there will be... |
| 1141 As you wish, though we are obviously of different minds. Let us go. |
| 1142 If you would not help your husband, how are you to be trusted to help another? |
| 1143 You will get no further argument from me. I apologize. |

| 1148 Aye, Anomen, talk as you wish. For all your swagger, you wouldn't last a day upon the planes. |
| 1149 You will learn. There are things that cannot change, and others that cannot remain. And others... |
| 1150 Another day! We must live to pose a bigger threat! There is no point joining the fray today; we would only end up dead or back in our cells. Another day... |
| 1151 Dexterity |
| 1152 Of course I am afraid; what fool wouldn't be? We were captured with little difficulty, held with even less, and have escaped with friends dead or wounded. |
| 1153 We will exact vengeance when it is to our advantage. I will not start a losing battle. A guaranteed loss is a fool's endeavor. Another day... another day... |
| 1154 Yuan-ti Mage |
| 1155 Are you afraid? I know I would be if my mate had been killed. |
| 1156 I couldn't agree more. Let's leave these heavy-hitters and get out of here! |
| 1157 Turn and run if you will, but I am not a coward! |
| 1158 I agree, there is no point to a hopeless battle. We will do no good by dying. |
| 1159 Only an idiot is not afraid when <PRO_HESHE> should be. We were captured and held with ease! Yes, we have earned our freedom, but it was at the cost of our friends! |
| 1160 Agreed. We will exact justice when we have hope of succeeding. Until then... I will not forget. Another time and place... |
| 1161 I know this place... these buildings. Yes, that person was assuredly correct; this is Athkatla. We are in the state of Amn. |
| 1162 No, Athkatla is along the lower edge of the Sword Coast. I wonder whom we angered that we should be brought here? We should lay low, perhaps in the slums. |
| 1163 Regardless, we will have to make sure we are out of sight for a while. I might know a few safe places here and there, by the docks or outside of town. |
| 1164 I have no reason to doubt you. Are we far from the Sword Coast? |
| 1165 You do not expect me to believe that you can tell that just by a few buildings? |
| 1166 I would have thought my enemies would have come from closer to home. |
| 1167 I shall follow your lead. We'll need a safe place to plan what we do next. |
| 1168 You seem to know a lot about this place. Maybe too much. |
| 1169 Whatever our enemy, we should keep low for a while. Perhaps at the docks or out of town. I might know a few places. |
| 1170 We'll need a safe place to plan what we do next. |
| 1171 And how is it you know so much about this place? |
| 1172 I would suggest the slums. There will be low-profile work, especially at the Copper Coronet. Someone might have heard of our capture or know where Imoen is. |
| 1173 If we are in such danger, perhaps we should just leave. |
| 1174 You might have never been here, but I have. Those Who Harp tend to travel. Khalid... Khalid and I came here... well, let us just say I have been here before. |
| 1175 Sounds like a good idea. We'll need a safe place to plan what we do next. |
| 1176 You seem to know this place fairly well. How do you come by this information? |
| 1177 Why not just leave? Why should we wait around for whoever to strike again? |

| 1185 I cannot tarry about for idle conversation. As a knight, there are many tasks that must be looked after! |
| 1186 That would solve nothing, and would abandon Imoen to her fate. No, if we were captured before, then we can be captured again, so we must secure ourselves here. |
| 1187 Why not just get out while the getting is good? |
| 1188 I... I am sorry? Do I know you? |
| 1189 Jaheira, my darling, so good to see you. Won't you come sit and chat awhile? |
| 1190 You do not remember? Ahh, but this is understandable. It has been years since we last spoke. Far too long, really. |
| 1191 Forgive me, but I will require a little more information. Your name again? |
| 1192 *ahem* My name... is Ployer, Baron Ployer? Of the Calimshan Ployers? Come now, you must have some inkling? |
| 1193 No... no, I am terribly sorry, but your face is unfamiliar. Perhaps if you told me what you do... |
| 1194 My name means nothing? Nothing?! I am Baron Ployer! PLOYER! You ruined me! Not remembering is an even greater insult! You are why I am destitute today! |
| 1195 I remember well, but I wanted you to say it, and I wanted others to hear. Quite the outburst, Mister Ployer. I assume you are still at odds with your new life? |
| 1196 You... you... This is the type of insolence I was talking about! It is not enough that you ruin a manâ€â€you must also berate him! |
| 1197 MISTER Ployer, I wanted you *dead* instead of merely humiliated! The courts did not seem to think death was warranted, so they claimed your assets instead. |
| 1198 Haven't lost your fire, I see. Still a Harper? This scrawny lout one too? That fellow Khalid you were once with was a better complement. Is he here as well? |
| 1199 He is none of your concern. If you value your teeth, you will not speak that name again. You dirty it. |
| 1200 Er, yes. Very well. How about your companions, Jaheira? Do they count themselves among the Harpers as well? |
| 1201 I am not a member of the Harpers, sir, though I would accept the offer if it were made. |
| 1202 Me? I don't think I could push my nose into other people's business far enough to qualify. |
| 1203 I do not number myself among that group, or any other. |
| 1204 I bear them no grudge. Beyond that is my business. |
| 1205 Perhaps I should include you in this matter then. But first... Jaheira, my dear, I have not found you by accident. You ruined me, slandered my name. |
| 1206 Well, the slander is going a bit far. You actually were a slaver, you know. It's not slander if it's proven. |
| 1207 That is beside the point! What matters is that you ruined me, and now I'm going to ruin you! |
| 1208 You understand! I shall leave you free of harm, but I advise that you distance yourself from Jaheira. She is about to become more trouble than she is worth. |
| 1209 I don't think that word means what you think it means. You really were trading in slaves, you know? How am I libelous...? |
| 1210 But you travel with her? I doubt you keep yourself separate from their interests while helping one of their own. No matter, you are not my intended victim. |
| 1211 I see. Well, if you travel with the one that harmed me, it becomes my business. The "friends of my enemies" and all that. |
| 1219 That is beside the point! What matters is that you ruined me, and now I'm going to ruin you! |
| 1220 What have you just done, Ployer?! Speak! |
| 1221 It is my gift to you. You will be slowly destroyed, just as my family was. It is my curse, my nasty, nasty curse. A little something I had made just for you. |
| 1222 Nobody made you a slaver; you just loved the profit! Now you blame those that caught you because you cannot take responsibility? You are a weak, weak man! |
| 1223 Ah, but I am a weak, weak man that will live, while you are a strong woman that will die. Give my regards to Belgrade when you see him. Hmmheheh... heheha... HAHA! |
| 1224 By the horns of Silvanus, I'll plant him beneath the Stones of Aisath if I... if I... |
| 1225 Are you all right, Jaheira? You look a little peaked. |
| 1226 If you what? Speak up, woman, I can hardly hear you! |
| 1227 Oh, quit your crying. There does not appear to be any harm done. |
| 1228 No, I... I'm fine. I just felt a little strange for a moment. That... that fat excuse for a slaver, he's cursed me! Damn him! |
| 1229 What can be done? We could track him down and demand he remove it. |
| 1230 Well, I am sorry to hear that. I guess you'll be leaving the group then. |
| 1231 This is a simple matter. We merely walk to a temple and have it removed. |
| 1232 Try not to shout, please? My head is unsettled at the moment. There... it clears somewhat, but undoubtedly there will be more. That fat old slaver cursed me! |
| 1233 What can be done? We could track him down and demand he remove it. |
| 1234 Well, I am sorry to hear that. I guess you'll be leaving the group then. |
| 1235 This is a simple matter. We merely walk to a temple and have it removed. |
| 1236 Are there Harpers that might help? I hear Elminster is a member. Honestly, with friend like that, I don't know why you even bother to walk. |
| 1237 Are there Harpers that might help? I hear Elminster is a member. Honestly, with friend like that, I don't know why you even bother to walk. |
| 1238 For the moment, though I do feel a touch under the weather. Damn him! I'll see his slaving heart stopped for this! |
| 1239 What can be done? We could track him down and demand he remove it. |
| 1240 Well, I am sorry to hear that. I guess you'll be leaving the group then. |

| 1242 Are there Harpers that might help? I hear Elminster is a member. Honestly, with friend like that, I don't know why you even bother to walk. |
| 1243 I doubt he would have bothered if the cure were quite so simple. If this curse was tailored to me, then we've no recourse but to exact its cure from his hide. |
| 1244 The Harpers do not operate like that. No, I bet only the one who cast it can remove it. It likely resists conventional means if it was tailored to me. |
| 1245 I beg your pardon? I am to be cast out because of this? What is your reasoning? |
| 1246 That may be my only option. If it was tailored to me, it might resist removal by normal means. I doubt Ployer would have done this if the solution were simple. |
| 1247 It is simple to understand. You require more maintenance than you are worth. |

| 1265 I was just suggesting an additional option. We need not follow it if there are better. |
| 1266 Then we should find this Ployer immediately. Any thoughts on where to look? |
| 1267 We'll never find that fool in this city, assuming he's even still within it. |
| 1268 This may be more trouble than it's worth. I think it's better if you did this on your own. |
| 1269 Then we should find this Ployer immediately. Any thoughts on where to look? |

| 1275 I have a few options. Ployer mentioned that he lived in squalor, suggesting he may be in the poor section of the city. Not likely to find him quick though. |
| 1276 He also mentioned Belgrade, a merchant that helped expose Ployer. He frequents the Copper Coronet, and the bartender Bernard might know his whereabouts. |
| 1277 He also mentioned Belgrade, a merchant that helped expose Ployer. He frequents the Copper Coronet, and the bartender Bernard might know his whereabouts. |
| 1278 Then we shall begin searching the slums as soon as possible. |
| 1279 To the taverns then, and we will seek out this Belgrade. |
| 1280 Stunned |
| 1281 No, I think this is more bothersome than it needs to be. The best option for me is to let you leave the group and go do this on your own. |
| 1282 True, there is a lot of ground to cover, but it seemed clear that he lives in squalor. I would begin in the poor sections of the city. It will take some time. |
| 1283 Again this side of you surfaces. I should not have believed your apologies in Irenicus's dungeon. I will not spend a... *cough*... a moment more in your company! |
| 1284 You *cough* surprise me. To think this cold streak was within and I had only glimpsed it until now. Well then, I will cause you no more inconvenience. |
| 1285 You are afflicted and no more use to me. Better you were put out of your misery. |
| 1286 You are afflicted and no more use to me. Better you were put out of your misery. |
| 1287 That is not *cough* amusing, and it's not the first time you have acted such. Perhaps you are colder than you let on, but I have little choice but to follow. |
| 1288 There is always a better path than simply abandoning those that are weak. You will not keep allies by demonstrating that you are willing to sacrifice them. |
| 1289 Very well, though I should like to try and find Belgrade eventually. It has been... *cough*... it has been some time since we talked. |
| 1290 A good first step. Hopefully he can give us some idea where Ployer might... *cough*... might be. |
| 1292 Belt |
| 1293 Keldorn, my faithful hound... how is it that you came to be a paladin, anyhow? |
| 1294 Yuan-ti Mage |
| 1295 Alas, where be an inkwell and some papyrus when I need it? |
| 1296 Very true, lassie. You must work with potatoes. |
| 1297 Hmm? Oh, I thought it was obvious. Never had your pegged for a slow one, but you never can tell. Allow me to spell it out... you see, about fifteen years ago, I was employed by a mage of no small caliber. Golodon the Unmanned was his name. Good teeth. Nice smell. Vicious streak a mile wide. |
| 1298 He couldn't have children, of course. Nasty cone of cold accident, you see. Regardless, his tower wasn't far from Athkatla, and I managed to gain employment with the old elf for a while. Mondays were particularly amusing. Golodon would start the day off by summoning an imp. He'd usually spend three or four hours making it run around the room barking like a dog. |
| 1299 But, as it was with Golodon, he soon tired of the sport. He had a beautiful mastiff named Buffy. Her diet consisted almost entirely of imps. Imp doesn't taste half bad when it's fried with a bit of garlic and butter. Goes well with turnips too. |
| 1300 Oh, right. So anyway, Golodon's ex-wife lived no more than two hundred paces from the mage's tower. My primary job was poisoning her food, though occasionally I'd have to clean up Buffy's excrement. She had managed to build quite the resistance to mandrake. Golodon's ex-wife, that is, not the dog. |
| 1301 It was truly a magical time in my life. I haven't been as happy poisoning someone since then. I was also, of course, poisoning Golodon on his ex-wife's behalf. She did pay handsomely. |
| 1302 Word has it that Golodon has finally kicked the bucket, if you get my drift. Died of malaria complicated by a fireball down his throat. Apparently, Golodon's old nemesis returned. Dradu or Dradeen or some such name. The old bastard would occasionally mention this enemy when he was particularly drunk. The two of them had stolen some valuable artifacts from the Gibbering Twelve. |
| 1303 Golodon blackjacked poor Dradunce and split with the magic. He later realized that he should have killed Dreedle and, cold-hearted fool that he was, sent assassins to finish the job. Drafeel disappeared, though his body was never found. It worried Golodon to no end. |
| 1304 I can't find it in my heart to feel sorry for him. He did fire me after all. Do you know why? |
| 1305 That was a bit rude. I take my potato comment back, missy! |
| 1306 I don't know if I'm talking to you anymore. |
| 1307 If you must know, it was during my time as a mobile turnip vendor. |
| 1308 Twice a week I'd head out to the country to pick up my product. The turnip fields were owned by my uncle Scratchy. Interesting fellow, by the way. Remind me to tell you about him some time. |
| 1309 Each trip I made, I would stop to talk to the halfling lass that worked in Uncle Scratchy's potato operation. The girl had had a very difficult life. She lost her parents to an orc attack when she was just a girl. She'd been a slave for the foul beasts until Aunt Petunia freed her. |
| 1310 The girl told me that, no matter how much evil she saw or had inflicted upon her, the simple pleasure of honest work and the feel of the earth beneath her feet always reminded her of how lucky she really was. Her outlook was not unlike your own, dear Mazzy. |
| 1311 And that, lassie, is why you are not a consummate tale-spinner. Don't worry, I'll teach you yet. |
| 1312 All of the evil in the world cannot keep one from admiring the beauty of the earth. |
| 1313 How might one make that assumption? |
| 1314 This is not making any sense, Jan. |
| 1315 What, pray tell, does this have to do with the presumption that I work with potatoes? |
| 1316 Perhaps we should be concentrating on our journey, good gnome. |
| 1317 I neither know nor care. |
| 1318 Where in the heavens did this potato remark arise in the first place? |
| 1319 Fine, fine! I'd rather not hear the story anyway. |
| 1320 Jan, though I respect you, I must say that you are quite infuriating. Please desist; we have things to accomplish. |
| 1321 Are you even listening to me? |
| 1322 A noble tale in the end, Jan, though I'm continually puzzled by your need to inflict twenty minutes of inane yarns on your listeners before getting to the point. |
| 1323 Yuan-ti |
| 1324 Aye, but then where would go the poetry, good knight? Heh... but come, <CHARNAME> seems impatient with our chatter. Let us put it off, then. |
| 1325 Ha! That prancing squirrel over yonder? If you could only understand his speech, your face would flush quite red at its vulgarity. |
| 1326 Ah, Cernd, my rustic, wind-borne swallow! These woods have such a regal bearing, their airs so sweetly scented by the leaf's decay... |
| 1327 Ooohhh... mm! I did not find resting at all comfortable last eve. I... *cough*... I just couldn't bring my eyes to close. My head pounds as thunder behind my temples. |
| 1328 Are you sure you're all right? You look sore today. |
| 1329 Perhaps we should rest a while longer; you do not seem very refreshed. |
| 1330 Ahh, you are just lazy. The rest of us are fine, yet you complain at every step. |
| 1331 I do not think this is going to work out. I cannot allow your curse to endanger me. |
| 1332 Aye, that I am, but well enough to walk. I will see that Ployer pay for this. Blasted slaver! |
| 1333 I am rested well enough. I will not coddle this curse. Sleeping may ease the aching, but it won't help remove it. Only finding that Ployer will do that. |
| 1334 Lazy, am I? I wouldn't wish a wasting on many, but you come close. Ah, I have no time to bicker. We must continue on lest this affliction progress too far. |
| 1335 I see. So despite assurances, you are indeed the bastard I thought you were after that stunt in Irenicus's jail. Oh, I remember, and I'll remember this too. |
| 1336 I do not think this is going to work out. I cannot allow your curse to endanger me. |
| 1337 ...Cernd, you could have explained that in a manner that would not have involved me wincing. |
| 1338 Do not joke so! I am in grave straits, and you mock my condition with talk of leaving? |
| 1339 It was just idle chatter. What can I do to make you more comfortable? |
| 1340 Save Jaheira from Baron Ployer's curse Jaheira has been cursed by a man named Baron Ployer... a slaver whom she ruined in the course of her activities as a Harper. The curse has already begun to take its toll on her... I have agreed to seek out Ployer in the poor sections of Athkatla, although Jaheira has suggested several other possibilities as well. One of these was to find the merchant Belgrade, possibly through the bartender Bernard at the Copper Coronet. Another possibility was to ask after the wizards who cast the spell upon her by seeking information at the government building in the Government District. |
| 1341 I am merely stating a truth. It would be better for the group if you left. |
| 1342 So this ancestor of yours, Lavok, he created such beasts as ghouls and skeletons and other wakened dead of that ilk? |
| 1343 You can get me Ployer. Never have I been so mad at another living thing. All this because he could not admit responsibility. He is irredeemable. |
| 1345 You! One of the faithless with your sight! Bow down to the Unseeing Eye and acknowledge his divine majesty! |
| 1346 I see. Then I will waste no more of your time. I will seek help on my own, and damn you for being so cold. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. We will not meet again. |
| 1347 My very bones ache today. It is as though I age on the inside. Ohh, this cannot go on for long. |
| 1348 We will find Baron Ployer soon enough. Try to save your strength. |
| 1349 Save Jaheira from Baron Ployer's curse Jaheira has been cursed by a man named Baron Ployer... a slaver whom she ruined in the course of her activities as a Harper. The curse has already begun to take its toll on her. Jaheira has offered several possibilities... one is to seek out the merchant, Belgrade, at the Copper Coronet... perhaps by asking the bartender Bernard of his whereabouts. Another was to look for Ployer in the poorer sections of town, although there seems little hope without some kind of direction. Another possibility was to ask after the wizards who cast the spell upon her by seeking information at the government building in the Government District. |
| 1350 If not for the promise of combat, I would not bother looking for this "Ployer." |
| 1351 I see. I imagine that your family must have been exposed to many such things over their time. |
| 1352 Who are you? |
| 1353 Oh, I shall certainly save it. I shall save it just long enough to bring the fury of Mother Earth upon that fat slaver that would imprison her children. |
| 1354 Aye, hawk, aye. A truth's been spoken, and it's been spoken from your tongue. |
| 1356 If not for the promise of combat, I would not bother looking for this "Ployer." |
| 1357 Plath Rededge |
| 1358 What do you mean by that? Am I not worth the effort of rescue? Have you better things to do? |
| 1359 Yes, I have numerous better things to do. I will assist, but you are of little use. |
| 1360 Yes, I have numerous better things to do. I will assist, but you are of little use. |
| 1361 Of course not. I merely grow frustrated at not being able to help. I apologize. |
| 1362 My wings have been clipped... oh, how I wish you could understand how it feels to be bound to the ground, chained and weighted like a miserable prisoner of earth... |
| 1363 Save Jaheira from Baron Ployer's curse I found a man named Corneil in the government building who seemed to be responsible for the Cowled Wizards in some way, but was certainly not very forthcoming... there is no help here for Jaheira that I can find. |
| 1364 What was it like to fly, Aerie? |
| 1365 Plath Rededge |
| 1366 We're all prisoners of the earth down here. |
| 1367 My raven, my raven, we must have rest if we are to keep this flock together. |
| 1368 I like how you always pretend people are birds. |
| 1369 You promise? |
| 1370 You fly above us all, no anger, no rage to tie you down. Aye... You're right, Aerie. You are no hound, nor shall I ever name you one. You have my pledge. |
| 1372 Forgive my outburst as well; I am... *cough*... I am not myself. Come, we must go. I will see that slaver pay for this. |
| 1373 You! How did you find me?! Blast, that Harper wench is cagey... haha... but she is not with you? Then my plan workedâ€â€she has withered and died! I hope she suffered! |
| 1374 Aye, I promise, dove. |
| 1375 Not half as much as you are going to. You are too much of a bastard to live! |
| 1376 She is alive, and you ARE going to remove the curse because I am asking ever so nicely. |
| 1377 I have come to bargain with you. She still lives, so what do you want in exchange for removing your curse? |
| 1378 I am here to ask you to remove the curse. You have suffered and she has suffered. Lives need not be wasted. |

| 1384 My hound, my hound, my dog of war, do not invite death to come knocking at your door. I am sure there be plenty of diversions awaiting your keen edge anon. |
| 1385 Greater Yuan-ti |
| 1386 You do have a certain invective creativity, Korgan. Now, if only you could direct that skill for invention into something more cerebral, less bravado. |
| 1387 Greater Yuan-ti |
| 1388 My red-cloaked sparrowhawk, I could barely catch my sleep last night with all your arcane muttering. |
| 1389 CHAPTER SIX As much as you have traveled, these last few feet to the surface have seemed the longest trek by far. Your relief at seeing the light of the sky is palpable, even though you were not really fleeing the black of the Underdark, rather the constant treachery. Unfortunately, even though the setting has changed, your immediate future still looks to be far from peaceful. This area has been the staging ground for many recent battles, and judging from the faces of the beleaguered elven soldiers that now approach, there may be more to come. |
| 1390 Aye, I could write a play and you would be my entire cast and extras... |
| 1391 Haery, I have an idea for a play. |
| 1392 Please, Jan, my name is Haer'Dalis. |
| 1393 You see, Haery, Angus the Giant Beaver is ousted from house and home by the Bullywug bullies to embark on an epic quest that takes him to the next pond. |
| 1394 Yes, epic. Go on. |
| 1395 No, no, no, this is only the beginning. Along the way, he encounters Gurgen the Hormonal Moose, and a friendship quickly develops between the two, seeing them through times of great trial and tribulation, though the friendship also caused a great deal of trial and tribulation, as you can well imagine. |
| 1396 You! That Harper wench led you right to me. Then... ho ho! But she is slung over a shoulder like so much baggage! My plan has worked; she is dead! I hope she suffered! |
| 1397 Not half as much as you are going to. You are too much of a bastard to live! |
| 1398 She might yet be saved, so you ARE going to remove the curse because I am asking ever so nicely. |
| 1399 I have come to bargain with you. What do you want in exchange for removing what you have inflicted? |
| 1400 She is incapacitated and your curse remains. I am here to ask you to remove what you have inflicted. |
| 1401 What, if I may ask, is a moose? |
| 1402 Too late, I'm already on to great trials and tribulationsâ€â€think of it, Haery, such broad and vital themes. Anyhow, the moose catches a curious and ultimately fatal disease, and Angus, as a final testament to their friendship, enshrines him within a wooden tomb in the middle of the lake before throwing himself in the lake to drown. |
| 1403 Oh, but I am not here alone! From the shadows step my assassins! They cost me everything, but they are well worth it! Kill! Destroy those that ruined me! |
| 1404 Your threats are nothing. You came expecting an old man in hiding, but I had hoped Jaheira would comeâ€â€because by the time she did, she would be utterly crippled! |
| 1405 I have what I want! I have Jaheira at death's door while I gloat! Will you bribe me? No, your coins are less than nothing beside the sweet revenge I have! |
| 1406 Do you mean to touch my heart, to reform me? Reform to what? I was the wealthiest slaver on the coast! I bought and sold better cattle than you will ever be! |
| 1407 Oh, but I am not here alone! From the shadows step my assassins! They cost me everything, but they are well worth it! Kill them! Destroy those that ruined me! |
| 1408 Jan, beavers can't drown. They spend half of their life underwater. |
| 1409 There's no point in arguing, Haery. It's a true tale, and if you have any doubt, you can ask my great-aunt Apo Pettiwick, who never married. It all happened in her backyard when she ran the farmer's market that sold turnips up in Thundertree, just upstream of Neverwinter. |
| 1410 Not half as much as you are going to. You are too much of a bastard to live! |
| 1411 She is alive, and you ARE going to remove the curse because I am asking ever so nicely. |
| 1412 Jaheira lives, but not for long. What do you want in exchange for removing your curse? |
| 1413 I am here to ask you to remove the curse. You have suffered and she has suffered. Lives need not be wasted. |
| 1414 Not half as much as you are going to. You are too much of a bastard to live! |
| 1416 She can be saved, so you ARE going to remove the curse because I am asking ever so nicely. |
| 1417 I have come to bargain with you. What do you want in exchange for removing what you have inflicted? |
| 1418 I am here to ask you to remove the curse. Lives need not be wasted. |
| 1419 Pray I never go there, Jan. Pray I never go there. |
| 1420 Not half as much as you are going to. You are too much of a bastard to live! |
| 1421 She can be saved, so you ARE going to remove the curse because I am asking ever so nicely. |
| 1422 I have come to bargain with you. What do you want in exchange for removing what you have inflicted? |
| 1423 I am here to ask you to remove the curse. Lives need not be wasted. |
| 1424 Oh, but I am not here alone! From the shadows step my assassins! They cost me everything, but they are well worth it! Kill them! Destroy those that ruined me! |
| 1425 Your threats are nothing. You came expecting an old man in hiding, but I had hoped Jaheira would comeâ€â€because by the time she did, she would be utterly crippled! |
| 1426 Your threats are nothing. You came expecting an old man in hiding, but I had hoped Jaheira would comeâ€â€because by the time she did, she would be utterly crippled! |
| 1427 I have what I want! I have her at death's door while I gloat! Will you bribe me? No, you do not have enough gold to raise me to the levels I was accustomed. |
| 1428 Not half as much as you are going to. You are too much of a bastard to live! |
| 1429 She is alive, and you ARE going to remove the curse because I am asking ever so nicely. |
| 1430 I have come to bargain with you, Ployer. What do you want in exchange for removing what you have inflicted? |
| 1431 I am here to ask you to remove the curse. You have suffered and she has suffered. Lives need not be wasted. |
| 1432 I have what I want! I have her at death's door while I gloat! Will you bribe me? No, you do not have enough gold to raise me to the levels I was accustomed. |
| 1433 Do you mean to touch my heart, to reform me? Reform to what? I was the wealthiest slaver on the coast! I bought and sold better cattle than you will ever be! |
| 1434 Do you mean to touch my heart, to reform me? Reform to what? I was the wealthiest slaver on the coast! I bought and sold better cattle than you will ever be! |
| 1435 Er... Attack! |
| 1436 Now! ...uh... Now! |
| 1437 I command you! Kill them!... Where are you?! |
| 1438 That's the trouble with hired hands; if a better deal comes along, they might just jump ship. |
| 1439 It looks like you are alone. Care to try your bravado against me without your magical thugs? |
| 1440 And now you will die. Will anyone weep for your passing? Allow me. Booooo hooooo. I cry for pathetic old Ployer. |
| 1441 Banshee |
| 1442 Banshee |
| 1443 But... no! Damn you, it's happened again! Everyone against me, everyone. |
| 1444 Aye, you have won today, but someday I will... |
| 1445 Sewage Golem |
| 1446 Slowed |
| 1447 And now we will talk deal. You WILL remove the curse, and you WILL leave and never return. Is that CLEAR? |
| 1448 You created your own crimes, and you are the one that shall die for them! Defend yourself! |
| 1449 If you spent half as much time trying to rebuild your life as plotting revenge, you would have recovered by now. Pathetic. |
| 1450 Oops, wrong spell. |
| 1451 Lightning bolt. |
| 1452 Strengthened |
| 1453 Heal |
| 1454 Entangle |
| 1455 Someday you will do NOTHING! Not if you want to live past tomorrow! Do we have a deal?! |
| 1456 So you refuse to let this pass? So be it; you will die then. If you are irredeemable, then you have no use. |
| 1457 Pathetic. Still you hang on to your little grudges. You have wasted your life, fool. |
| 1458 Bentan |
| 1459 Very well. Here, this is the personal item used to curse her. I took it from that fop, Belgrade. She should be fine with it returned. Now get out... get out. |
| 1460 My... life... pathetic am I? Pathetic?! I was... I was above all! I was more than you will ever be! I was... Mages or not, you will be dead! |
| 1461 But I could not hope to defeat you alone! It may as well be suicide! |
| 1462 Weakened |
| 1463 You have caused this! You alone! Now fight, or die with your back turned! |
| 1464 Unless... You will do as I wish and you will do it to the letter! Understand?! |
| 1465 Fireball |
| 1466 Turned to Stone |
| 1467 Spell cast and I feel refreshed. |
| 1468 Ahh, no! Help! |
| 1469 Heal |
| 1470 Dizzy |
| 1471 Burst |
| 1472 You are weak and laughable. Look at yourself, groveling. Pathetic. |
| 1473 Held |
| 1474 Blinded |
| 1475 But this is murder! I am defenseless before you! |
| 1476 Charmed |
| 1477 Not murder; execution for the good of the land! Your pathetic existence is of no use to anyone! |
| 1478 Gems! |
| 1479 Then pick up a sword! You've no choice in the matter! |
| 1480 My legs! What have you done? |
| 1481 What's in my pack? |
| 1482 Polymorphed |
| 1483 Silence |
| 1484 Sex change |
| 1485 Ah, Jaheira. I see you have dragged your sorry soon-to-be carcass here to see me. Are you here to beg? Perhaps to grovel? I don't mind. I have even cleaned my shoes. |
| 1486 Despicable... *cough* *cough*... despicable wretch! You knew I would come here? |
| 1487 Explosion? |
| 1488 Of course! I am your only link to life, so what choice do you have? Come now, grovel for your life before me. I haven't got all day! |
| 1489 I am... I am not here to grovel, Ployer. You would sooner get that from my corpse! |
| 1490 And I will, unless I get the satisfaction I want now. Come now, I can cure you if you drop your pretense of dignity and get your sickly carcass on its knees! |
| 1491 I *COUGH* I AM NOT HERE TO GROVEL! I may be weak, even dying, but you WON'T get that! I have come to take what is mine! I (ehrm) will be free of you... of your... |
| 1492 Black Lily |
| 1493 Brandilar |
| 1494 Brathlen |
| 1495 You are about to collapse and cannot even speak. Now, of course, you will have to grovel in pantomime. What could be more degrading than that? |
| 1496 Ployer! She can barely stand! End this and spare us all any further indignities! |
| 1497 Ployer! She can barely stand! End this and spare us all any further indignities! |
| 1498 Ployer! She can barely stand! End this and spare us all any further indignities! |
| 1499 Enough of this! It is time for you to die, Ployer! You are simply too irredeemable to live! |
| 1500 Enough of this! It is time for you to die, Ployer! You are simply too irredeemable to live! |
| 1501 Enough of this! It is time for you to die, Ployer! You are simply too irredeemable to live! |
| 1502 She may be ill, but I am not! You WILL end this curse, and you WILL leave her be! Am I understood?! |
| 1503 She may be ill, but I am not! You WILL end this curse, and you WILL leave her be! Am I understood?! |
| 1504 She may be ill, but I am not! You WILL end this curse, and you WILL leave her be! Am I understood?! |
| 1505 Stop this! What is it you want? Perhaps we can bargain... |
| 1506 Stop this! What is it you want? Perhaps we can bargain... |
| 1507 Stop this! What is it you want? Perhaps we can bargain... |
| 1508 I feel... weak, but better. I... *cough* *cough*... I thank you for helping me through this. You have earned my gratitude and... ehh... and I should really get a full day of rest. |
| 1510 We will get to an inn as soon as we can. With the curse gone, you should heal normally. |
| 1511 Yes, whatever you wish. Just as long as there are no more of these fools in your past. |
| 1512 Just move. I don't want to stay still too long; who knows whom you've angered in the past? |
| 1513 Ahh, yes, I'm the one with enemies we need to worry about. Do you even believe that yourself? Don't make me lau... ow... laugh. |
| 1514 I certainly hope so. Such weakness... I swear, if I meet his like again, I'll not let the courts spare him. I'll... I'll be better after a night's rest. |
| 1515 Like him? No. Well, perhaps, though he was certainly one of the more wretched. I doubt we'll see any more like him, though we'll never want for enemies. |
| 1516 *yawn*... I'm... I live to see the Earthmother's dawn once more? Then... then you have succeeded. Excellent. And Ployer? What of him? |
| 1517 He will not bother you further, of that I am certain. Let's go. |
| 1518 He is not important. Are you well enough to travel? |
| 1519 Enough of that, we've things to do and I've no more time to waste on this. Let's go. |
| 1520 Dead and gone. |
| 1521 Indeed. I am glad to be rid of his foul curse. Odd bit of magic that. Onward then. I am fit for travel. |
| 1522 I am, I am. With luck, we shall not meet the like of him again. With luck. |
| 1523 There is no need to get excited. I am sorry to have caused such trouble. I shall just die outright in the future. Do not say a word. Let us go. |
| 1524 Good riddance. It was years overdue. Most of his ilk in my past suffered a more final version of Harper justice. Let us go; I have sat about too long. |
| 1525 The mages with him wore odd colors that might be traceable. Ask at the government building, as all magic is regulated in Athkatla. If they will talk... |
| 1526 Excuse... you may call me Terrece. I know of whom you seek, the mages in black and green? What is your business with my fellows? We are... available for hire. |
| 1527 That Corneil inside seemed to know nothing about such things. |
| 1528 That Corneil inside seemed to know nothing about such things. |
| 1529 For hire? You are a mercenary group? |
| 1530 It is not his business to know, or perhaps he just pretends to not know. I am not he. I know of them, and would relay your words if you wish. |
| 1531 I do not play games with those who indulge in killing for hire! |
| 1532 And what would be the going rate to acquire a group such as yours? |
| 1533 Perhaps he did not like your manner. It matters not. I know whom you seek. I will relay what you wish to say. We... they have an interesting offer to present. |
| 1534 Perhaps. The Cowled Wizards watch mages closely, so there is a demand for mages to perform certain... tasks. Especially if they guarantee not to get caught. |
| 1535 A valuable service indeed. And what is it you wish to offer me? |
| 1536 Standard dispassionate excuse for such a group. What is it you wish from me? |
| 1537 You are no better than criminals! I have no interest in dealing with you. |
| 1538 Speak it then, and do not waste my time further. |
| 1539 Your group hires itself out then? They are mercenaries? |
| 1540 Relay that I am going to exact a violent payment for my comrade's suffering! |
| 1541 You speak in circles like a halfling! Tell me plain if you have something to say! |
| 1542 I take it you are a mercenary group of sorts. |
| 1543 I have more than words to relay! They will pay for harming one of my group! |
| 1544 Then the conversation shall be short. It is I who offered our services, simply out of my good will. You may dismiss me, but consider what you may gain. |
| 1545 Tell me true and quick before I tire of this game! |
| 1546 I am listening. What is it you think you can do for me? |
| 1547 I have nothing to gain except an easier battle later if I kill you here and now. |
| 1548 Hmm? That would depend on the service to be provided. Or not to be provided. Do you understand what I am suggesting? |
| 1549 Speak your words plain! I do not have time to piece together your meaning! |
| 1550 I will not associate with such as you! |
| 1551 That is not a productive attitude. I am offering an appealing alternative. If you will not get past your emotion, we will have nothing further to say. |
| 1552 Do you have a proposition to make? I will listen. |
| 1553 Speak your mind plain then! |
| 1554 As you wish. Our group was directed to harm one of your number, though it was just business. I am here to speak an offer of counter-employment. |
| 1555 You have encountered us before, in less sociable circumstances. Now I am offering our assistance in performing a service for you. |
| 1556 We performed a service for your enemy, but that contract has expired... though we have been asked to perform another task in the future. |
| 1557 You will find him eventually, and we are to be there. Or perhaps we are not. That is the offer I make today. |
| 1558 Have you no sense of duty? Do you treat all your employers this way? |
| 1559 An interesting offer. May I inquire as to what your absence might cost? |
| 1560 I have a better idea. Would you consider turning on Ployer yourselves? |
| 1561 You may ask what guarantees you have that we will not turn on you in a likewise fashion... there is no guarantee but our dislike for Ployer. |
| 1562 What is it you think you have to offer? |
| 1563 If words will not convey my meaning, then perhaps violence will. |
| 1564 I would not try it here. Others know nothing of our... disagreement. They will see you attack me, and will respond in kind. There will be no showdown here. |
| 1565 Another time then. I look forward to repaying you for the suffering of my comrade. |
| 1566 A pity we could not reach an arrangement. It would have been a wonderful surprise. I wish you well, though we will surely meet again in the course of business. |
| 1567 I see. Having met Mister Ployer, I think I like those odds. You have a deal. |
| 1568 Speak then, but do not waste my time. |
| 1569 I like those odds, but would 500 gold be enough? |
| 1570 No, I don't think I will be discussing this any further. I will take my chances later. |
| 1571 I like those odds, but would 500 gold be enough? |
| 1572 I have a counteroffer to make. How much to have you kill Ployer yourselves? |
| 1573 Interesting. Actively turning on an employer is bad for the reputation, though justifiable to those who know Ployer. Hmmm... 2,000 gold, nonnegotiable. |
| 1574 You may ask what guarantees you have that we will not turn on you in a likewise fashion... there is no guarantee but our dislike for Ployer. |
| 1575 A bit too rich for my blood, I'm afraid. What was that original offer again? |
| 1576 You have yourself a deal! It will be worthwhile to see the look on his face! |
| 1577 No, I think I am through with this. I do not trust you to honor our deal. |
| 1578 It has been a pleasure helping you. We will, of course, ask that you do not speak of this. It would be... unfortunate. |
| 1579 What can I be getting for you? A little treat for the road perhaps? A room for the night? |
| 1580 What kind of information might that be? I keep out o' politics, I don't get in people's affairs, and I don't cause trouble, so ask questions with that in mind. |
| 1581 It will serve adequately. I look forward to... not... working with you or Mister Ployer again. Good day. |
| 1582 I do not have enough gold for this. Would you consider doing it for free? |
| 1583 No, no, I don't think that will work at all. I am sorry we could not come to an agreement. We will meet again. |
| 1584 Very good. May we not meet at the appointed time. You may just survive now. And we are paid to not help a morally repugnant creature. Good day. |
| 1585 Face me! Face the new LORD OF MURDER! |
| 1586 Cat |
| 1587 No... no, I don't think that will work. It will have to be 1,000. |
| 1588 Very well, you have a deal. |
| 1589 Then this discussion is over. Goodbye. |
| 1590 I do not have enough gold for this. Would you consider doing it for free? |
| 1591 I have another proposal. How much for you to kill Ployer yourselves? |
| 1592 I see. Having met Mister Ployer, I think I like those odds. You have a deal. |
| 1593 I like those odds, but would 500 be enough? |
| 1594 No, I don't think I will be discussing this any further. I will take my chances later. |
| 1595 I like those odds, but would 500 be enough? |
| 1596 I have a counteroffer to make. How much to have you kill him yourselves? |
| 1597 I do not have enough gold for this. Would you consider doing it for free? |
| 1598 Indeed, I am sure it will be priceless. 2,000 it is, for the task of eliminating Mister Ployer. We will meet again. |
| 1599 Maybe later. Right now, I need some information instead. |
| 1600 I'm looking for a friend of mine. A fellow by the name of Belgrade. Have you seen him? |
| 1601 My friend, Jaheira, said I might find a man named Belgrade here. |
| 1602 Just... just looking around. Don't let me keep you. |
| 1603 I'm looking for a man named Belgrade. Seen him? |
| 1604 I'm looking for a man that might be a Harper. Do you know where Harpers might gather around here? |
| 1605 A druid friend of mine is quite ill, and I am trying to track the man that cursed her. |
| 1606 Can't say that I have, sorry. Anything else? |
| 1607 Jaheira? Why didn't you say so? Ask again, friend; you'll find me more cooperative. You were looking for Belgrade? You won't find him, I'm sorry to say. |
| 1608 Trap Not Disarmed |
| 1609 Moved on, has he? Do you know where to find him? |
| 1610 He's hiding out somewhere? Any way I can get a message to him? |
| 1611 You seem awfully friendly now. Why? |
| 1612 Nothing like that. He's dead. Died not far from here. No cause, but it weren't natural. He was fit as an ox and not a day past twenty-seven. You looking into it? |
| 1613 Yes, I am. Jaheira is likely suffering from the same affliction. I need to find a man named Ployer. |
| 1614 The multiplayer session has been terminated. The frame rates for the server and client programs do not match. Server frame rate: <SERVERVERSION> Client frame rate: <CLIENTVERSION> You can change your frame rate with the configuration utility. |
| 1615 Dead? That does not bode well. Any idea who was behind it? |
| 1616 Possibly. Do you know where he was found exactly, or where he might have gone that day? |
| 1617 Jaheira be a friend to many, and some owe her more than others. I ain't sayin' more, but you are welcome here come the hells or falling skies. |
| 1618 Well, I appreciate that. Now about Belgrade, can I meet him somehow? Do I need passwords and secret handshakes and all that? |
| 1619 She may not last that long. Where can I find this Belgrade? It is urgent and I will go wherever need be. |
| 1620 Don't be loitering long then. I've customers to keep happy. |
| 1621 Jaheira suggested I come here. She said I might find someone named Belgrade. |
| 1622 First sentence and you've gone and broken at least two of my conditions. Sorry, but I can't help you there. Perhaps a good wine or a lovely chowder instead? |
| 1623 That was awfully quick. Are you sure of that? |
| 1624 Well, I guess not. Thanks anyway. |
| 1625 Are you certain? Jaheira was sure he would be here. |
| 1626 Positive. Next? |
| 1627 Well, what about an old slaver named Ployer? Seen him? |
| 1628 I guess that's it. Thanks for your help anyway. |
| 1629 Odd. Jaheira was sure he would be here. |
| 1630 Heard anything about Harpers in the area? Where they might be? |
| 1631 Nope, can't help you. Perhaps some lovely fish cakes or a mead? |
| 1632 No, thanks. I'll be going. |
| 1633 No, thanks. I'll be going. |
| 1635 You don't seem too forthcoming. Is there anything you CAN tell me? |
| 1636 Damnation, Jaheira was sure this place would have a clue or two! |
| 1637 Damnation, Jaheira was sure this place would have a clue or two! |
| 1638 You don't seem too forthcoming. Is there anything you CAN tell me? |
| 1639 Yes. Don't hang around in taverns asking pointed questions. We never met, and I never heard you ask for any of those names. Good day. |
| 1640 The Slaver? He ain't allowed here. Made his fortune on stolen babies. I was damn glad to see Jaheira ruin him. Have I seen him? No, and I wouldn't want to. |
| 1641 What were you saying about Belgrade's death? Did you know who was behind it? |
| 1642 Do you know where Belgrade may have gone the day he died? |
| 1643 Thanks, you've been a great help. I don't know if I got what I needed, but thanks nonetheless. |
| 1644 Don't know, but a Harper makes many enemies. Don't rightly want to meet the fool brave or stupid enough to kill one of their number. Harpers never forget. |
| 1645 Belgrade wooed nobles; he was never in the slums except the day he was dead. Dumped in the northeast maybe, but there were too many tracks to tell for sure. |
| 1646 Thanks. What were you saying about Ployer? |
| 1647 Do you know where he went that day? Where he might have been going? |
| 1648 Thanks, you've been a great help. I don't know if I got what I needed, but thanks nonetheless. |
| 1649 Thanks. What were you saying about Ployer? |
| 1650 Do you know who might have killed him? |
| 1651 Thanks, you've been a great help. I don't know if I got what I needed, but thanks nonetheless. |
| 1653 No deals for a slayer of Harpers. |
| 1654 Oh, Belgrade had also asked about a black and green robe he found. Seemed odd then, but he was an odd fellow. All Harpers are like that. Wouldn't have it any other way. |
| 1655 What can I do for... Jaheira? Jaheira, no games now, you look like you've seen yer own ghost, or are about to. Young lady, you look about ninety! Are you ill? |
| 1656 I'm... I'm fine, Bernard. I just need... |
| 1657 The hell you are! These louts you traveling with running you ragged? I'll have them fishing for shark in the bay with no net if they... |
| 1658 Bernard, I'm FINE. I just need... need some information. I need to find Belgrade. |
| 1659 Oh, I'm sorry, Jaheira, but he's not around anymore. I ain't had the pleasure of his company in nigh unto... |
| 1660 Eldoth |
| 1661 BERNARD! Bernard, this is important. I need to contact him. I know you can connect with the network when you need to, so... |
| 1662 Ohh, Jaheira, you misunderstand me. Belgrade, he's... he's dead. |
| 1663 D... dead? When? |
| 1664 A while back. He got sickly just like... oh my, just like you. What is it, a plague that only affects Harpers? I knew your lot would anger the wrong god or... |
| 1665 Bernard, please. I need to know where they found Belgrade. I also need to know if you have seen Baron Ployer. |
| 1666 Found Belgrade in the east slums. Too many tracks to tell if he was dumped there. And Ployer? He ain't welcome here. Damn glad you exposed him, Jaheira. |
| 1667 I see... Thank you, Bernard. I... I really must be going now. |
| 1668 You take care now. Please. |
| 1669 What is it you wish? You are obviously out of place here, so unless you have pressing business, I am very busy and do not wish to be bothered by such as you. |
| 1670 Might you help me? I have an interest in those taken by the Cowled Wizards. |
| 1671 I'm looking for a mage, or a group of mages. They may wear green and black robes as a uniform. |
| 1672 I wonder if you might help me? Has a Baron Ployer sought the assistance of any of your members lately? |
| 1673 What happens to those taken by the Cowled Wizards is not for decent people to know. No magic user goes unknown, and all may pass through here, but that information is not for you. Good day. |
| 1674 I know of no such robes, though it would not be your business if I did. The Cowled Wizards will deal with such people. Leave, and ask me no more of such things. |
| 1675 We are not an employable organization. Ours is a mandate given by the state. All other interests are those of individual members, not the group. You will not find what you need here. Begone. |
| 1676 Petrified Man |
| 1677 Jaheira is in dire straits. We have calmed her fevers, but she will die if not released from this spell. This curse was fashioned specifically for her. |
| 1678 How could it have affected her so quickly and totally? |
| 1679 Why have you not been able to remove it? Surely there are druids of sufficient experience to deal with this? |
| 1680 Thank you for keeping her safe. I will do what I can to find the person who cursed her. |
| 1681 Well, if she is safe in your care, I have plenty of time to find the one who inflicted this curse upon her. |
| 1682 Save successful |
| 1683 The caster must have a personal item of hers. The caster could remove the spell, or killing him might work. Perhaps even retrieving the item would help. |
| 1684 Some personal item of hers was used in the casting... the spell is specific to Jaheira. It will only end if the caster removes it or if her item is returned. |
| 1685 Hurry. The spell is meant to kill only Jaheira... a personal item was used in the casting. Only recovering it, or the caster himself, may end this. |
| 1686 Delay and she dies. Some personal item of hers was used to cast this. If this item were restored, the spell might fade... or the caster could end it himself. |
| 1687 Hurry. Jaheira has not much time left. |
| 1688 Jaheira? Child, are you here for ascension rites? I was not aware your time had arrived yet, and I... What is wrong, you look pale? |
| 1689 Drenden, I... I am dying. |
| 1690 Say nothing more. You will come and be administered to immediately! No discussions; I know how obstinate you can be. |
| 1691 No arguments from... from me. |
| 1692 No arguments? My dear, you must be on your very deathbed! You will lie down this instant. You, have you done this to her? |
| 1693 Drenden, they have done nothing to me... I am... cursed. It cannot be removed. I cannot... I feel... |
| 1694 She will remain here. Find the source of this curse and stop it. We must not lose this child of earth to this insidious thing. Go, and return quickly. |
| 1695 It's... all right. Find... find Ployer and... |
| 1696 Nester's Dagger |
| 1697 A Key |
| 1698 Jaheira will not live long under this curse. If you know how to rid her of it, I suggest you do it quickly. We can only delay her fate. Hurry. |
| 1699 She is getting better. Whatever you did, it saved her life. The Earthmother thanks you for saving her child, as do all the citizens of nature. |
| 1700 I have a message for you, Miss Nalia, from the residents of the de'Arnise estate. I must get an imprint of your signet ring to prove I found you. |
| 1701 Of course. You have done well. |
| 1702 Thank you, Miss Nalia, though I do hate to be the bearer of somber news. Here is your message. Safe travels to you. |
| 1703 Let's see what this says then, shall we...? |
| 1704 Oh my... |
| 1705 I must go to the Graveyard District in Athkatla at once. All other concerns must wait. I am sorry, but I must insist upon this. |
| 1706 What is your concern? It must be quite grave to cause you such grief. |
| 1707 I cannot simply about-face and charge off without first knowing why. |
| 1708 I am sure we will turn back that way eventually. Patience, we have much to do. |
| 1709 Another errand of yours that will escalate into siege warfare no doubt. What is it this time? |
| 1710 You are more correct than you might've wished, but I forgive your ignorance. The message is about my father's funeral. I must go to the Graveyard District. |
| 1711 The letter was notification of my father's funeral arrangements, and I will not miss them. I must leave as soon as possible. |
| 1712 In normal circumstances perhaps, but this is not one of those times. The letter is notification of my father's funeral. I must go to Athkatla with all speed. |
| 1713 I am sorry my concerns are such an inconvenience. The letter was notification of my father's funeral. I must get to Athkatla with all haste. |
| 1714 Then we shall go as soon as mortally possible. I would not dream of letting you miss it. |
| 1715 Very well, I shall head in that direction at the next possible opportunity. |
| 1716 I sympathize, but this could not come at a worse time. There are other things to be done. |
| 1717 Then that is what we will do. I would not allow you to miss it on my account. |
| 1718 I shall abandon my plans and charge off. I imagine this will take a large amount of time once we are there? |
| 1719 While I do sympathize with you, I simply cannot go at this time. |
| 1720 Then we shall go as soon as mortally possible. I would not dream of letting you miss it. |
| 1721 Very well, I shall head in that direction at the next possible opportunity. |
| 1722 I sympathize with you, but this could not come at a worse time. There are other things to be done. |
| 1723 Then that is what we will do. I would not allow you to miss it on my account. |
| 1724 All right then, I shall abandon whatever I am doing and charge off as soon as we can. I imaging this will take a large amount of time once we are there? |
| 1725 While I do sympathize with you, I simply cannot go at this time. |
| 1726 It is simply out of the question. I have not the time, nor the desire. |
| 1727 That is not an option at this time. We have things to do that cannot be postponed. |
| 1728 It is simply out of the question. Pay your respects on your own; I have no time. |
| 1729 That is not an option at this time. We have things to do that take priority, and they cannot be postponed. |
| 1730 Thank you, I do appreciate this. It seems I owe you another debt of gratitude. |
| 1731 I realize this is an inconvenience, but try not to worry. It will take only a moment to make an appearance. I thank you for understanding, albeit grudgingly. |
| 1732 This is a special circumstance. I don't ask for much... well, besides rescuing my home and routing a legion of trolls. Please, could we at least go soon? |
| 1733 No, I am sorry, but my decision is firm. We have no time for jaunting off to funerals. |
| 1734 That is acceptable. We will go when it is next convenient. |
| 1735 If you are that set on the matter, then we shall go right now. |
| 1736 You leave me little choice. Very well... here is the bulk of your gear. If you wish to find me, I should be at the Copper Coronet within a day, once the funeral is over. |
| 1737 What? Wait! All right, we'll go, but not this instant. It will be soon though. |
| 1738 Perhaps that is for the best. I will meet up with you there. |
| 1739 Go then! I must be able to expect loyalty and this simply will not do! |
| 1740 Very well. I do hope you will follow. You do understand why I must go, don't you? I hope so. Until we meet again? |
| 1741 I follow this group because of the charity we give. I am no soldier, and you are no general. Follow if you wish, but I must go. |
| 1742 I must insist that we go to Athkatla this instant. I'm sorry, but you did say we would go. I will leave on my own if I have to. |
| 1743 I am sorry for delaying so long. We shall leave immediately. |
| 1744 Just a while longer, Nalia. Don't worry, I will get you there. |
| 1745 I really don't think we have the time. Do you really need to be there? |
| 1746 Good and good. This is very important to me, and I thank you for helping. |
| 1747 I am not worried, because I am leaving. I'm sorry, but this is very important and I won't miss it. I shall be at the Copper Coronet within a day, after the funeral is over. |
| 1748 To my father's funeral? Yes, I should say so! I cannot abide this delaying tactic any longer. I will be at the Copper Coronet within a day, after the funeral, if you wish to see me again. |
| 1749 I can wait no longer. Whether convenient or not, I must leave right now! I shall be at the Copper Coronet within a day, after the funeral, if you wish to see me again. |
| 1750 Please, sire, I have words you must hear that are for you alone. |
| 1751 Please, ma'am, I have something I wish to say, and none must overhear. |
| 1752 I saw what happened, and I share your helplessness. Any complaints about Officer Roenall must first go THROUGH him, so you can imagine how many get through. |
| 1753 Yes, yes, you have expressed your sympathy. Now what is it you actually want? |
| 1754 Thanks for the happy thought. I feel much better now. Leave me alone, fool. |
| 1755 Have you something that can help? I am not in the mood for conversation. |
| 1756 This did not come from me, for if my indiscretion against Isaea were to get out, I should be thrown from the military. There is one way you can get to him. |
| 1757 I hold you no grudge for your manner. Isaea is good at provoking empty rage in those with no path to vent. But I know a way to get back at him. |
| 1758 Of course, I shall be brief. You may feel better afterwards though... I know a way to get back at Isaea, one that will hurt him deeply. |
| 1759 Isaea is quite corrupt and more than willing to exercise his power. You are not monitored as we, so you can do something that I or another guard cannot. |
| 1760 Look to the docks and a man named Barg. Examine him and what he does, and you are sure to see what I mean. |
| 1761 Nalia, my dear! I have been worried sick about you! |
| 1762 The amulet around your neck is heavy with sentiment, but even more so with value. In that respect, at least, it is worthy of you. You make your way out of the city, the noise of the crowd still in your ears. They were genuinely grateful, though you could sense the hesitation in their words. No matter, you have done what you came to do. Let them glare if they wish. Perhaps one day you will return and reward their suspicions. They will be weak for some time... You return to your travels, making sure that those you meet never forget your passing. Fear and respect is all that you ask, for you are deserving of both. The battle with Irenicus gave you a greater understanding of yourself, and strangely enough, the world appears to respond readily. More of life matches your dark demeanor, and why should it not? You were the Slayer, you conquered a portion of Hell itself, and you crushed everyone that stood in your path. And wherever you go, people stand aside. You have gained great power, and no one will ever take it from you again. |
| 1763 As you leave Suldanessellar, you are nearly overwhelmed by the cheering of the assembled crowds. There is open gratitude on the faces of the elves, and many times you are encouraged to stop and receive gifts or shake hands. There is an obvious lament at your departure, as well as an expectation of your return. They consider you a hero and, for once, you really feel the part. You pass into the Forest of Tethir, wondering if there could have been a future for you in the city that you have left behind. You examine the amulet around your neck, studying the images of elven gods inlaid in the platinum, and you feel the warm tingle of the item's magic. This gift will remind you of how welcome a visitor you would beâ€â€but it also bears witness to the fact that you are without a true home, a place where you belong. You could return to Athkatla, you think, but deep inside, you feel the taint that yet remains in your soul. There can be no home for you yet, as hard as that is to admit, so you venture deeper into the forest, pondering the words of demons and growing annoyed at how destiny holds its secrets from your view. |

| 1769 Oh no! It's Isaea! Let's get out of here. |
| 1770 No, do not turn away. It has been so long since I have seen your face. So regal and... uh... a bit dirty actually. Have you been slumming again? Naughty! |
| 1771 Kindly place a cork in it, Isaea, I do not "slum." Foppish fools looking for a thrill "slum." I help people. |
| 1772 Of course, one must have one's little hobbies, but it is just about time you honored our... ahh... agreement? The honor of your house is at stake, you recall? |
| 1773 My home has a new head that owes you no allegiance. Do such agreements carry beyond the death of the makers? No, a master of weapons may assume title to... |
| 1775 My house? What house? Your family directs my father's holdings as though theirs. That suggests my name has... has lost what nobility it had. |
| 1776 This is a ledger of income for the last season, marking major purchases and trades within Isaea's household. It details a number of gem and jewel transactions, though not from any local dealer. On inspection, the importation prices are far below market value, and while you are no accountant, it would seem that an effort has been made to get around local tariffs. This could be documented smuggling, or it could just be sloppy clerical work. |
| 1777 Well, I... ahh... |
| 1778 I thought not. No, I don't think I will be marrying you, Isaea. I do not have to, nor do I need to, and, above all else, I do not find your company enjoyable. |
| 1779 You know as well as I do that the arrangement is a fabrication! My word, you have brought them here? This... orc is ruling your house? Ridiculous! |
| 1780 No more ridiculous than you forcing the issue of this "betrothal." No, Isaea, I will not marry you. Above all else, I do not find your company enjoyable. |
| 1781 You may be entitled to ruin your own reputation, but I will not have you dragging me down as well by denying what is mine by rights! I will not stand for it! |
| 1782 Was that a threat? You had best stop short of intimidation tactics. I do not put up with such things. |
| 1783 How exactly is she ruining her own reputation? By being kind to those less fortunate? |
| 1784 Now then, I think we are getting just a bit too excited here. Perhaps we can come to some sort of understanding? |
| 1785 It can speak! Nalia trained you well. Oh, did I provoke you? Your reaction will be violent, no doubt. On your first move, I shall have my guard cut you to p... |
| 1786 What is going on here? Who are these...? Oh, hello Nalia. My deepest sympathies to you this day. Your father was a fine man. |
| 1787 Thank you, Lord Roenall. He would be pleased to hear such praise. |
| 1788 Stop this "Lord Roenall" business. I'll not have such formalities. "Farthington" is my name among friends, "Farthy" if out of sight of the missus. Hrmph heh? |
| 1789 Lord Roenall, you are a positive cad! |
| 1790 Yes, well... OH! Is it true your home has been overrun by barbarians? My guards will have you home and safe in no time... there are none finer! |
| 1791 Ring of Spell Turning |
| 1792 Yes, well... OH! Isaea says you abandoned your home to wander as a peasant. Really, if your estate needs guards or accountants, I would be happy to... |
| 1793 Isaea said WHAT?! Abandoned?! It was wrested out from under me! What has... |
| 1794 I fear you are misinformed, sir. No, with my father's death, it was best to defer to the weaponsmaster that saved the keep. You know the old customs, don't you? |
| 1795 Of course, a fine tradition. I know many a name that was started in that way... the Curstwerds of Muraan, for example. I'm glad to see you follo... |
| 1796 THANK you, Father, but it's NOT that simple. Nalia made a rash decision and we'll sort it all out shortly. Aren't the Curstwerds downstairs? Give them my best. |
| 1797 Thank you, Father, but shouldn't you be getting back to the guests? Do not mind Nalia; she is still somewhat "lost" without her father. You understand. |
| 1798 Quite, quite. All my best, my dear. |
| 1799 Isaea, what have you told him? That I was run off and afraid to go back? Is that how you intend to take control of my home, my life? I'll not have it! |
| 1800 Nalia, descend further into these whims of yours and you shall be a laughingstock. Come now, our combined names would carry quite the weight. What do you say? |
| 1801 I say... I say take your name and eat it! I'll not be your puppet! |
| 1802 Do not anger me, Nalia. I can help or hinder; I've done it before. |
| 1803 She has said her wishes. Whether you respect them or not, you will let them stand. |
| 1804 Now that WAS a threat. I'm watching you. Best hope I don't find something I don't like. Understand? |
| 1805 I think it best if we all just take a step back and cool off. Only spite will come out of comments like that. |
| 1806 Your comment is asinine. Obviously she does not know what her wishes should be. Just look at her choice of company. I will leave... for now. This is unfinished. |
| 1807 Kindly turn your eyes downward; your gaze makes me feel unclean. As for your threat, you should really know whom you are addressing before you do such things. |
| 1808 Crawl back under the rock you were born of, and leave my comments to those that understand them. Nalia will, and perhaps you will learn too. This is unfinished. |
| 1809 A fine girl, that Nalia. Good head on her shoulders. Never understood what she saw in Isaea. Fetch me a drink, will you? |
| 1810 Get yourself some rest, my dear. You've had quite a shock and a bumpy ride. We'll get it sorted out in good time. |
| 1811 I'm sorry for that extended exchange, but he is such a... bounder, such a... a manipulating... such a... Oh, to Hades with the manners, he is a complete bastard, and calling him that insults bastards everywhere! |
| 1812 Has he always been that... driven? He is quite intent on enforcing your betrothal. |
| 1813 He did say he could "help or hinder," and "he'd done it before." What's that about? |
| 1814 It would be quite beneficial to marry him. You have thought of this, haven't you? |
| 1815 I don't want a role in this mess. Will we be meeting up with that foppish lout again? |
| 1816 I do not understand him. If he were not the son of Lord Roenall, I would think him capable of anything. Anything short of the criminal, of course. |
| 1817 What does any of it mean? That he is a rounder, and were he not the son of Lord Roenall, I would think him capable of anything short of the criminal. |
| 1818 I am reminded each and every day when I wake up and realize what has changed. Father had everything balanced and stable. Now it's all topsy-turvy. |
| 1819 Hopefully, he'll give me space now. Actually, this was the first time I said no directly. Father always handled it. I bet Isaea found him as maddening as me. |
| 1820 Well, if it isn't Nalia's trained chimps come to call. |
| 1821 I must go. Think on what I've said, and bring anything you learn to Corgeig Axehand in the Government District main building. He is Isaea's commander. |
| 1822 Is there a reason you are here? You should make an appointment to request an audience, or speak directly with Officer Roenall. He serves well as liaison to the nobility. |
| 1823 You should stop and examine him a bit closer. He is not as he seems! |
| 1824 Sorry to bother you. I was just looking around. |
| 1825 As you will, but you may not be allowed access to some areas. This is the heart of government, after all. |
| 1826 So you are suggesting that one of my officers has behaved inappropriately? What is your evidence of this? What are your claims? |
| 1828 He imprisoned Nalia de'Arnise to force her submission to an arranged marriage. |
| 1829 Isaea finances pirates. I have a witness to these events; a man named Barg. |
| 1830 Isaea has possession of smuggled gems, a fact proven by his own records. |
| 1831 Isaea Roenall deals in slaves. His insignia was used on slave documents. |
| 1832 Serious charges indeed. However, I am familiar with the young woman in question, and she is hardly to be considered innocent by default. |
| 1833 I thank you for the concern you have shown, but in this instance, it is misguided. Have you anything else I can help you with? |
| 1834 I fear I may have been too rash in my conclusions. Forgive my outburst. |
| 1835 Please, good citizen, if you are to besmirch the name of one of my officers, you had best make sure you can back up said arguments. |
| 1836 No. That will be all. I might have been premature in my judgments. |
| 1837 Perhaps. I still think Isaea should be looked into closely. |
| 1838 A scathing claim, but not enough to pursue a man. Barg is a known scoundrel; his testimony is questionable. Have you other charges that cast further doubt? |
| 1839 Not at this time. |
| 1840 Isaea has possession of smuggled gems, a fact proven by his own records. |
| 1841 Isaea Roenall deals in slaves. His insignia was used on slave documents. |
| 1842 This may have been a simple clerical error. Combined with other charges, it might warrant an inquiry, but alone it does not. Have you other charges to make? |
| 1843 Not at this time. |
| 1844 Isaea finances pirates. I have a witness to these events; a man named Barg. |
| 1845 Isaea Roenall deals in slaves. His insignia was used on slave documents. |
| 1846 Any number of factors could place his insignia there and not directly involve him. Alone it is not worth the risk of defaming an innocent man. Have you other charges? |
| 1847 Not at this time. |
| 1848 Isaea finances pirates. I have a witness to these events; a man named Barg. |
| 1849 Isaea has possession of smuggled gems, a fact proven by his own records. |
| 1850 If you make further claims of a circumstantial nature, you had better provide enough of them that they warrant investigation despite their inconclusive nature alone. |
| 1851 This may have been a simple clerical error. Combined with other charges, it might warrant an inquiry, but alone it does not. Have you other charges to make? |
| 1852 Not at this time. |
| 1853 Isaea Roenall deals in slaves. His insignia was used on slave documents. |
| 1854 Any number of factors could place his insignia there. Combined with the previous it does seem odd, but still more is needed to warrant investigation. |
| 1855 I have nothing else at this time. |
| 1856 Isaea has possession of smuggled gems, a fact proven by his own records. |
| 1857 Any hint of association with the slave trade can ruin a man, and your claims are all circumstantial, but there is enough here to warrant investigating officially. |
| 1858 This may be a clerical error, but combined with the previous, it does seem suspicious. We must endeavor to uncover the truth of the matter as best we can. |
| 1859 A scathing claim, but this "Barg" is a known scoundrel; his testimony is questionable. With the previous, it is suspicious, but not enough to slander Isaea's name. |
| 1860 I have nothing else at this time. |
| 1861 Isaea Roenall deals in slaves. His insignia was used on slave documents. |
| 1862 Any number of factors could place his insignia there and still not prove an association with slavers. With the previous, it does appear alarming, but more is needed. |
| 1863 I have nothing else at this time. |
| 1864 Isaea finances pirates. I have a witness to these events; a man named Barg. |
| 1865 Barg is a scoundrel; his testimony is questionable. Still, all of this together is disturbing. There is enough here to warrant an investigation despite the risks to Isaea's name. |
| 1866 A scathing claim, but Barg is a scoundrel; his testimony is questionable. The two claims are still not enough to endanger Isaea's name. Have you additional charges? |
| 1867 Not at this time. |
| 1868 Isaea has possession of smuggled gems, a fact proven by his own records. |
| 1869 This may have been a clerical error. The two charges are damaging, but still not enough to slander Isaea. Have you other charges that remove all doubt? |
| 1870 Not at this time. |
| 1871 Isaea finances pirates. I have a witness to these events; a man named Barg. |
| 1872 I see you have returned. Have you new evidence you wish to show me, or have you given up on this foolish enterprise? |
| 1873 No, I do not have anything to show you at this time. |
| 1874 I may have important information about the conduct of one Isaea Roenall. |
| 1877 It will take some time to fully investigate, but we should know tomorrow if an inquiry is warranted. I suggest you return then. |
| 1878 If your allegations are false, however, you may find yourself indebted to Isaea. I will have Isaea summoned here, and we will see what course must be taken. |
| 1879 Hey, turnip boy! |
| 1880 Who else, dear cousin? I see that you've gathered some formidable friends since I've last seen you. |
| 1882 Back in the circus. Judge didn't think elephants had the right to choose in a custody battle. Poor Jeffery. Nailed me with a theft charge, too. Just got out of prison. |
| 1883 No. They should hire a better locksmith. Listen, Jan, you haven't come by the house for a long time. We've been looking for you. |
| 1884 It's Lissa. She's staying with us now. |
| 1885 You should talk to her yourself. I promised to give you the message, but I have to go. Been dodging bounty hunters for days. Farewell, cousin. See you soon. |
| 1888 Who dar... Beeloo? |
| 1889 Well, they're not gnomes, but they're not a total loss either. Some of them can get through an entire battle without my needing to babysit them. Quite remarkable for the non-gnomish. Where's your elephant? |
| 1890 Legally? |
| 1891 Have you? Is something wrong? |
| 1893 Did he hurt her? |
| 1894 Farewell, Beeloo. |
| 1895 It looks like something serious is afoot. I'll have to be heading back to my home in the Slums District. |
| 1896 Good riddance, gnome. I tire of your pointless tales. |
| 1897 Is it something that I could help with? |
| 1898 I'm afraid we haven't the time to accompany you. Perhaps we could meet you at a later time. |
| 1899 So be it. You're a tactless bunch of idiots anyway. I've more important things to do! Excuse me. |
| 1900 You are welcome to come with me. I know not what the story will be, so I'm not sure if you'll actually need to do something. |
| 1901 Perhaps you should tell us who Lissa is and why you're worried about her. |
| 1902 In that case, we'll continue on the road and shall meet you at a later time. |
| 1903 My family's house lies in the Slums District of Athkatla. 'Tis a grand tower. I shall most likely be there if you should have need of me at a later time. It's been fun, though I wish I'd had more time to regale you with tales. Farewell! |
| 1904 It is not an easy tale for me to tell. This girl, Lissa, that my cousin mentioned is an old friend of mine. More than a friend, I should say. She grew up poor, like me. It was a hard life, but there was happiness to be found. |
| 1905 I loved Lissa like I've never loved another. She was the most beautiful girl in Athkatla. I was not the only one to think so, however; she had several suitors when she came of marrying age. I worried little about it. I was her closest friend and she claimed to love me. |
| 1906 There are many gnomish families in Athkatla. Life is very different for gnomes so used to the woods and caves of the country. Many of the families struggle with poverty in exchange for the safety of the city walls and Amnian law. Some families do very well. He came from one such family. |
| 1907 Vaelag is the gnome who runs all "business" in the gnomish areas of Athkatla. |
| 1908 By "business," I assume you mean criminal activities. |
| 1909 What business? |
| 1910 Actually, I'd rather not hear this story right now. Why don't we get going? |
| 1911 Yes. He is a thief who pretends to be an honest merchant. Rumor has it that he reports directly to the Shadow Thieves. Regardless, he was not a pleasant person. He was a bully and a cruel man. He enjoyed exercising power. He was also suave, sophisticated, and very, very rich. |
| 1912 I refer to unsavory business. Loan sharking, smuggling, and so forth. Vaelag is a thief who pretends to be an honest merchant. Rumor has it that he reports directly to the Shadow Thieves. Regardless, he was not a pleasant person. He was a bully and a cruel man. He enjoyed exercising power. He was also suave, sophisticated, and very, very rich. |
| 1913 Yes, we should get going. You will accompany me to see Lissa? |
| 1914 I cannot come with you. Perhaps we could meet at some later time. |
| 1916 Yes, I will accompany you. |
| 1917 Could you tell me about Lissa again? |
| 1918 I had asked Lissa to marry me and she had agreed. We were to be married at the midsummer's festival the following year. That was before she'd met Vaelag. Like most men, he took a liking to her immediately. |
| 1919 We should make our way to my home in Athkatla with some haste. I'm worried about Lissa. It is a squat tower on the east side. You can't miss it. |
| 1920 He swept her off her feet. He showered her with gifts and city cultural events. At the time, my bitterness had me believe that he cast some sort of spell on her. In retrospect, knowing what I do about magic, she chose him of her own volition. She was pregnant shortly afterwards and they were married. |
| 1921 I would have given her that world, had I been able. I don't really believe it matters anymore. I just want her to be happy. Vaelag is a petty and cruel man, but she loved him more than she loved me. There's nothing else to tell. If you're ready, I'd like to get to my home in Athkatla now. |
| 1922 We shall get there as soon as possible. |
| 1926 I cannot come with you. Perhaps we could meet at some later time. |
| 1927 Wee ones, I'm home! |
| 1928 Calmly, little ones. I've brought you each a Flasher. |
| 1929 Those are the twins, of course. The girl is Tat, the boy is Tot. They are my youngest cousin's. Glandig's children. |
| 1930 Where is this Glandig? |
| 1931 I don't wish to rush your family reunion, but perhaps we should look for Lissa and find out what this is all about. |
| 1932 Your family is annoying. I'm leaving. |
| 1933 He's most likely working in the mines. My mother watches his children when he's away. They're actually quite impoverished since his wife died. |
| 1937 I agree. Follow me. I must speak with my mother. |
| 1938 I have no need for you, <CHARNAME>. It was not necessary to insult my family. Please leave this house. |
| 1939 These tales are best kept for another time. Follow me. I must speak with my mother. |
| 1940 Jan! Did ya bring me some candy? |
| 1941 It's my cat, stupid! I get to flash him. |
| 1942 Mommy! Jan's back! |
| 1943 I wanna use it right now! Where's the cat? |
| 1944 Ye're really, really ugly. |
| 1945 Leave my kitty alone! |
| 1946 I wasn't going to touch your cat. |
| 1947 Shut up! I saw you looking at her. |
| 1948 What will you do if I do touch your cat? |
| 1949 I'll bite your kneecaps! |
| 1950 I'm sorry, Ma. The turnip trade is a demanding mistress. |
| 1951 Of course not, Ma. I've been very good. Why, look at the fine bunch of people I'm traveling with! |
| 1952 What's going on, Ma? Beeloo made it sound quite urgent. |
| 1953 Is she all right? Did he... did he hurt her? |
| 1954 Okay, Ma. I'll head upstairs immediately. <CHARNAME>, please come with me. |
| 1955 It is good to see you, Jan. You don't stop to see your old mother anymore. I have to send your no-good cousins out to find you. |
| 1956 Not so demanding as your own mother, boy. You've been in trouble, I suppose. |
| 1957 Hmph! If you say so. |
| 1958 Lissa has been staying with us for a while. Her daughter, too. We just thought that you might want to know. She does seem to need your help, with her parents passed on and all. |
| 1959 Lissa's not hurt. It's the little girl. I gave them your old room. The girl is sick and Lissa is with her. Why don't you go and talk to her? She's been waiting for you. |
| 1960 Oh, Jan! I've missed you. I wish I'd known you were coming today. I would have prepared a meal for you and your companions. I'm an awful mess. |
| 1961 I missed you, Jan. You disappeared for a long time after the wedding, and when you returned, I hardly saw you at all. You should've come to visit me, Jan. |
| 1962 I'm sorry, Jan. I've been terrible to you. Everything has come crashing down on me. Please forgive me, Jan. |
| 1963 She's hurt, Jan. I don't know what's wrong with her. She just lies in bed staring at the wall. Won't even eat. Please heal her, Jan. She's just a little girl. |
| 1964 It started a few months ago, before it ended with Vaelag. He was always a cruel father, and hard on Jaella. He beat her if she did anything he didn't like. |
| 1965 I don't know, Jan. Can you help her? |
| 1966 Yes, but he told me that you could help. |
| 1967 You look fine, Lis. You look beautiful. |
| 1968 I couldn't, Lis. I mean, I didn't want to intrude on you and Vaelag. It wasn't my place to. |
| 1969 You don't have to apologize, Lis. I would do anything to make you happy. Tell me what happened. What's wrong with your daughter? |
| 1970 When did this start? |
| 1971 Did this happen after that bastard beat her? |
| 1972 She isn't physically harmed, Lis. It is her mind that has been injured. My magic can do nothing for this sort of thing. Have you spoken with Uncle Gerhardt? |
| 1973 Excuse me, Lis. <CHARNAME>, could you go to the basement and speak with my uncle Gerhardt? Maybe find out what he knows about this illness. He's a bit eccentric, but he knows more than he lets on. I'd guess that we have ten days before Jaella will die. |
| 1974 Thank you. I'll stay here with Lissa. I have to... it's hard to explain. |
| 1975 If that's the case, I'd rather you leave now. I have a lot of things to take care of, and I doubt that I'll be able to rejoin you for a week or two. |
| 1976 I've served you well during my time with your party. What I ask of you is a small thing. You should think you'd be less of an ogre about it. Actually, I've known several ogres who are nicer than you are. Leave now and return only to apologize. |
| 1977 Farewell, <CHARNAME>! As Uncle Scratchy used to say, if you can't join 'em, beat them with a stick of lard. |
| 1978 He's in the basement, you say? Yes, I'll go and discover what he knows. |
| 1979 I really don't have the time to get involved in this. |
| 1980 I'm not going to waste my time running errands for you! Do it yourself. |
| 1981 I think I understand. I'll be back when I've found your uncle. |
| 1982 As you wish. We shall leave you to look after your personal affairs. Perhaps we will return in a week or two. |
| 1983 I'd rather you not rejoin me at all. There is no place for you in this party. |
| 1984 Dabron Sashenstar |
| 1985 Please, go and speak with my uncle Gerhardt. Find out what he knows about Jaella's illness. You'll find him in the basement. |
| 1986 Who in the blazes are ye? Small noses, rancid smell... hmm... be ye gibberlings? |
| 1987 We are friends of your nephew Jan. We're here to discover what you know of Jaella's illness. |
| 1988 We are the Gibberlings Three. As merry a band as you ever did see. |
| 1989 Pardon me? |
| 1990 Quit your rambling, old one, and tell us what you know of Jaella's illness. |
| 1991 Wee Janny? Methinks I'd recognize me own nephew. |
| 1992 No, no! I'm not Jan, I'm the leader of his party. |
| 1993 Aw, Uncle Gerhardt, how could you treat your own nephew so? |
| 1994 Come now, Uncle, I am your nephew. |
| 1995 Well, I've nary a sausage to feed ye. Have ye come to devour Athkatla? |
| 1996 Indeed! It's been quite tasty so far. Listen, we're not here to devour everything. In fact, we'd like to help a little girl named Jaella. |
| 1997 No, we haven't. We will devour you if you don't tell us what we need to know. |
| 1998 Let us stop this charade. Jan sent us down here to ask you a few questions. |
| 1999 Aye, stupid too. Gibberlings fer sure. Well I've nary a sausage to feed ye. Have ye come to devour Athkatla? |
| 2000 Indeed! It's been quite tasty so far. Listen, we're not here to devour everything. In fact, we'd like to help a little girl named Jaella. |
| 2001 No, we haven't. We will devour you if you don't tell us what we need to know. |
| 2002 Let us stop this charade. I'm only here to ask you a few questions. |
| 2003 I'll tell you nothing. Here, hold this for me. |
| 2004 If I must. |
| 2005 I will not. Answer my questions. |
| 2006 That boy's full of questions, true, true, true. Are you hungry? Methinks I've got some sausages under me bed. |
| 2007 I'm fine, really. Do you have any idea what might be causing that little girl's illness? |
| 2008 Thank you, I am feeling a bit peckish. |
| 2009 Shiver me turnips, it is you! Now run to the chicken and get me some sausages, laddie! |
| 2010 If you could just answer my question... |
| 2011 Uh, the chicken? |
| 2012 Diviner |
| 2013 Nay. Now leave me to me workin' before I paddle yer bottom. |
| 2014 Aye, she's been hurt. Poor lass WHERE'S THAT CURSED POTION? |
| 2015 Can this hurt be healed, Gerhardt? |
| 2016 Which particular potion did you need? |
| 2017 Why did ye drop it? |
| 2018 It burned me. |
| 2019 Ye are truly a naughty child. Now piss off before I paddle yer bottom! |
| 2020 Ye've come about the girl, eh? |
| 2021 Yes. Do you know anything about her illness? |
| 2022 Enchanter |
| 2023 Chicken, chicken. Yes, the chicken! Go! |
| 2024 'Tis a hurt of the mind. Only one rich in such powers can heal her. |
| 2025 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have spoken to the avatar of a god that no longer has the faith of the guardians who live in this dungeon. He asked me to take the relic he has vowed to protect and combine it with the half that the beholder has. I may use the completed item to destroy the beholder... on several conditions. One: It can only be used once. Two: I tell his people I intend to complete the item so that it can be returned here and be destroyed fully. Three: I bring the completed rod back and instill even the briefest moment of faith in his people so the avatar might have the power to destroy the rod and end the service the guardians have been bound to. |
| 2026 What are you talking about? |
| 2027 Where can I find such a person? |
| 2028 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless Now that I have returned with half of the rod, Sassar has told me of how to steal the other half from the beholder. The beholder lives in a great pit in the cult's temple that cannot be entered directly. I am to find a friend of Sassar's who stands near the Pit of the Faithless and, through him, gain access to a secret entrance to the pit and a niche where the beholder keeps his treasures... including the other half of the rod. |
| 2029 Not a potion, boorish fool. A sausage. Are you hungry? Methinks I've got some sausages under me bed. |
| 2030 I'm fine, really. Do you have any idea what might be causing that little girl's illness? |
| 2031 Thank you, I am feeling a bit peckish. |
| 2032 'Tis no more than what ye deserved. Ye are truly a naughty child. Now piss off before I paddle yer bottom! |
| 2033 Without focus, you shall never pass. To heal Jaella's mind, your own must be hale. Try once again. |
| 2034 The Hidden is the one you seek. Go to Jysstev at her estate in the Government District. She shall lead you to the Hidden. Now where's that sausage...? |
| 2035 Truth! Listen then, Seeker. To heal an innocent, you must take the mind's path. Find the Hidden, and perhaps he shall grant your boon. Travel soon ere the child leaves thy conscience torn asunder! |
| 2036 I've wasted me life... where's that sausage? Are YOU still here? Get moving, child! Now! Now! |
| 2037 Please, you must go and find out exactly what my uncle Gerhardt knows about Jaella's condition. You'll find him in the basement. |
| 2038 I see from the look on your face that you've talked to Uncle Gerhardt. I should have better explained the situation. Gerhardt is a well-known and respected physician and scholar. He had risen above the poverty that plagues this family so. As you have seen, he's no longer the same. |
| 2039 About a decade ago, my uncle was hired to treat a rather unsavory fellow, a thief named Ralg. It was fairly obvious that Ralg was a high-ranking Shadow Thief. He had power and money, two things more than rare in Athkatla without family connections. |
| 2040 Ralg was also daring. There are places in this city where no sane man treads, places in the bowels of the earth that have the most powerful drow clerics quavering with fear at the mere mention of their cursed names. Ralg set into motion the systematic plunder of these places. He was a modern man, not given to the superstitious fears of the plebeian masses. |
| 2041 The story goes that Ralg was found in the old temple of Bhaal, gibbering and mad with fear. Uncle Gerhardt, an expert in odd conditions, was called to treat the ravaged man. As my uncle had learned through his studies, these afflictions can never be treated without knowledge of their cause. Since none but Ralg had survived the trip, my uncle made the foolish decision to travel to these unholy places in search of this knowledge. |
| 2042 He left for the graveyard and the places of the profane that are known to lie beneath it. He was gone for months, and we thought him dead. Ralg was shipped off to the asylum that lies off of Amn's coast. Nearly a year later, Uncle Gerhardt returned a changed man. Something that he had seen on his travels left him quite unhinged, though hardly the mindless sack of flesh that Ralg had been. |
| 2043 With this change came a strange ability that occasionally shows itself in Gerhardt's verbal ramblings. He has become a prophet of sorts. He predicts events, some small and some of portent. During the Time of Troubles, his gift was particularly evident. He seemed to know everything. He'd rage and stumble about the basement screaming of slaughtered gods and tumultuous magic. |
| 2044 But that is in the past. He has examined Jaella and, especially in his present state, he knows things. He told Lissa to bring me home, and I hope that he has given you some direction as to how we can help this girl. |
| 2045 Well, amongst the ramblings about sausages and chickens, he did have a few things to say. He said that for one to heal Jaella's mind, one must know one's own mind. He also mentioned something about seeking the Hidden. |
| 2046 I don't believe that it's my place to deal with this problem. Perhaps it would be best if you were to do it yourself. |
| 2047 Your uncle is a madman, and I resent having to deal with him. You should be dealing with your own issues and not tricking me into doing so for you. |
| 2048 The Hidden, you say? Lissa mentioned this. It seems that Lady Jysstev knows something of the man. You can find the Jysstev estate in the Government District. Will you solve this mystery for me? I must stay with Lissa. |
| 2049 If that is your wish. I shall speak with Gerhardt myself. I cannot travel with you for a time. If you return in a week or two, I might be ready to travel again. I'm not sure how things will turn out here. |
| 2050 Hmph! Never had you pegged for an idiot. I've served you well during my time with your party. What I ask of you is a small thing. You should think you'd be less of an ogre about it. Actually, I've known several ogres who are nicer than you are. Leave now and return only to apologize. |
| 2051 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple Well, it seems that Jerlia was wrong... Sir Sarles was able to tell the difference between the alloy and the real thing. The sculptor left the city in a fit, and all I can do is bring this shapeless lump of metal to the temple and report my failure. |
| 2052 Find mimic's blood for Jermien the Cowled Wizard I must find some mimic's blood for the Cowled Wizard, Jermien, for the juggernaut golem he is building in the village of Imnesvale. |
| 2053 Farewell then, Jan. Good luck, and perhaps I shall see you in a week or two. |
| 2054 Thank you, friend. Go well. I shall be here when you return. Jaella's not eating, so I estimate you have ten days at most. |

| 2057 Help Korgan recover the Book of Kaza I have joined with Korgan Bloodaxe to gain the Book of Kaza for a collector by the name of Pimlico. It is apparently in a tomb beneath the Graveyard District. One of the crypts apparently leads to a lower, older section rumored to contain undead... but also the tome. |
| 2058 Johanna |
| 2059 Johanna |
| 2060 Help Korgan recover the Book of Kaza It appears that the Book of Kaza was taken from the tomb by former companions of Korgan's. We must go to Pimlico's house in the Temple District to see if we can head them off and recover the book. |
| 2061 Help Korgan recover the Book of Kaza It appears that Korgan's former friends weren't satisfied with whatever reward Pimlico was offering. They killed the collector and, according to Korgan, will likely be drinking their gains on the roof of the Copper Coronet. Korgan wishes to go pay his respects, so to speak. |

| 2064 What do you wish of me? |
| 2065 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have met Sassar's friend Tad, who has instructed me that I must go down the Pit of the Faithless to reach the pathway that will enter the beholder's treasure niche. The beholder is planning a great mass soon, so it is unlikely he will be in the niche when I enter. Tad warned of creatures who feed upon the bodies of the faithless who are thrown below, however. |
| 2066 I ask a boon of you. |
| 2067 Before we get to that, I would like to know a bit about the Enlightened Ones. Who are you, and why all the secrecy? |
| 2068 I want nothing from you. |
| 2069 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless Once the beholder is killed, I must return the rod to the avatar... he has warned me that it is cursed, and I would not want to know what would happen if I dared to use the rod a second time or try to spirit it away from this place. Once that is done, I must also return to the temple and report my success. |
| 2070 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple Talon Yarryl commands that I procure Sir Sarles, a popular artist, to produce a work for the temple. Sarles apparently demands the use of a rare metal, illithium, and an outlandish commission. The other temples are competing for his favor as well. I must get the artist his illithium and convince him to work for a reasonable rate, regardless of how I do so. The man may be found in the Jysstev estate in the southeast corner of the Government District. |
| 2071 Another mission for the temple Now that the business with the sculptor is done, Yarryl bids me to return when I am ready to further serve the temple's cause. |
| 2072 Another mission for the temple I must go to the slums after dark and meet a thief named Travin. He has stolen an item from the Lathanderites, and I must take delivery for the temple of Talos. The loss of their Dawn Ring will damage morale at the Morninglord's house and erase the smugness of Lathander's followers. |
| 2073 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple Guardian Telwyn of the temple of Helm asked me to commission the master sculptor Sir Sarles to make a piece of artistry while he is in Athkatla. I will need to procure illithium for the artist and convince him to lower his outlandish fee. The other temples in the city will also be vying for his favor. Sir Sarles is staying in the Jysstev estate in the southeast corner of the Government District. |
| 2074 Another mission for the temple Now that this business with the artist is finished, Guardian Telwyn has asked that I return to the temple as soon as I am able to continue to work on the temple's behalf. |
| 2075 Another mission for the temple Guardian Telwyn asked that I go to the temple of Lathander and speak to a cleric named Dawnbringer Sain. While usually neutral, the temple of Helm has decided that I should aid Lathander in a particular matter, such that the conflict with Talos does not turn into chaos. |
| 2076 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple Dawnbringer Sain has asked that I commission the master sculptor Sir Sarles to produce a work for the temple. I must procure illithium... a rare metal that he demands to work with... and also convince him to lower his outlandish fee. Other temples will be vying for his services as well. Sir Sarles can be found at the Jysstev Estate in the southeast portion of the Government District. |
| 2077 Another mission for the temple The Talassans hired a thief to steal a Dawn Ring from the temple of Lathander, and I must go to the slums after dark and retrieve it. Dawnbringer Sain asked that I not use violence if I can avoid it... but spare no wrath if it is required. The name of the thief is apparently Travin. |
| 2078 AI Script |
| 2079 Another mission for the temple Now that this business with the sculptor is completed, Dawnbringer Sain has asked that I return to speak with him as soon as I am able... to continue my service for the temple. |
| 2080 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple I have met with the artist, Sir Sarles... but the only way he will perform the work is if I can procure 200 pounds of pure illithium. Sarles recommended I locate an ore merchant by the name of Jerlia, who has a stall in the second tier in the southwest portion of Waukeen's Promenade. |
| 2081 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple I was able to get Jerlia to tell me who her illithium supplier is. It is a duergar named Unger Hilldark, and he is staying at the Copper Coronet, a bar in the Slums District. Jerlia advises that I approach him there and ask about the ore, although she thinks it will be quite expensive. |
| 2082 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple Jerlia has agreed to fashion an alloy of illithium for me, since 200 pounds of the pure ore is just not feasible. I should return to her after a day with 200 gp to pick up the facsimile. |
| 2083 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple Jerlia has fashioned the illithium alloy for me... now all I need to do is give the metal to Sarles and hope that he does not distinguish between it and the real thing. |

Unger cannot get the illithium back himself because the word of a duergar is not trusted in Amn. If I am to get real illithium, I will have to exact justice on this bandit myself. Unger tells me that Neb bought a house in the Bridge District, marked as "Derelict House" on the map. The name "Neb" sounds oddly familiar. |

| 2092 A question, my hound and hamster... why is it that you come into such rage when we fight? 'Tis as if all the furies of the planes were all at once let loose within your veins! |
| 2093 Boo says fight hard, so I fight hard. |
| 2094 Ah, Boo says that, does he? |
| 2095 Space hamsters are never wrong! |
| 2096 *groan* Cut your wit, bard. The day has been long already without adding hours to it. |
| 2097 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills Delon was sent to find aid for the village of Imnesvale in the Umar Hills. Apparently, people are disappearing in large numbers and it is not certain what the cause is. I am to speak to the village mayor, Minister Lloyd Wainwright. |
| 2098 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills I spoke to Minister Lloyd of Imnesvale and agreed to find the cause of the murders and disappearances. He suggested I look for the first victim, the ranger Merella. Her cabin is directly west of the village, and she used to patrol in the southwest portion of the local area. Or I could deal with Madulf the ogre north of Imnesvale by the river. The minister believes him to be the source of the problem, anyway. |
| 2099 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills Minister Lloyd told me of several possibilities for the murders. He suspects that a recently arrived group of creatures led by the ogre Madulf are responsible. There are also normally peaceable wolves that have been in the hills for several years. He also mentioned a legend regarding the Umar witch who once ruled this area. The murders seem very similar to when she was alive. He also mentioned another group of adventurers led by the knight Mazzy Fentan. He had hired them earlier, but they have not returned. |
| 2100 Why don't you listen, Vaelag? I'll keep it simple so that it won't leave you furrowing your brow in a vain attempt to understand. Get out of this house now and I won't gut you like the pig that you are. Was that clear enough? |
| 2101 Lissa, what is happening? |
| 2102 Why? Did you not leave him because of his cruelty? |
| 2103 He is a beast! He is a criminal and a murderer! Why can't you see that? |
| 2104 What if he hurts Jaella again? |
| 2105 I've only asked about the things that you told me. |
| 2106 Go if you must. I'm sorry that I couldn't offer more help to you. |
| 2107 I fear for her life, her and the girl. You've met Vaelag now; what do you think? |
| 2108 It did seem like he was ready to kill you for insulting him. He's a violent sort who is used to power and seems to enjoy wielding it. |
| 2109 He seems like a pleasant enough fellow. I wouldn't worry about it. Lissa does trust him, after all. |
| 2110 I'll be honest with you. This issue is of great importance to me. I have contacts in the city, and if I find out that he's hurt her again, I'll hurt him. I should like your support when the time comes. |
| 2111 If I am able to support you when that time comes, I will. |
| 2112 I do have concerns of my own, Jan. My own quest takes precedence over your personal concerns. |
| 2113 Perhaps he has changed. I shall have to trust Lissa, though I suspect that Vaelag will not become a good husband. I cannot bear to hurt Lissa and so, I shall leave again. Let us take to the road, <CHARNAME>. My sword arm needs a bit of exercise. |
| 2114 My thanks, in advance. Let us take to the road, <CHARNAME>. My sword arm needs a bit of exercise. |
| 2115 I understand this. But be aware that I will leave the party if word comes to me of Vaelag's return to violence. I do have contingency plans to deal with him. Let us take to the road, <CHARNAME>. My sword arm needs a bit of exercise. |
| 2116 Well done, friends of Jan. You found a way to cure the poor girl. |
| 2117 It did. She's recovered and is acting like a child again, playing with Tat and the kitty. Go upstairs and see Jan. |
| 2118 Madulf wants to make a deal with the village It seems obvious that Madulf and his followers are not responsible for the deaths in Imnesvale. If he can be believed, some of his people were murdered as well. The ogre has asked me to bring word to Minister Lloyd and tell him that he wishes an alliance... Madulf and his followers will protect the village from the orcs in the hills if the villagers will leave them in peace and let them trade occasionally. I have agreed to bring this proposal before the mayor, but have not promised anything. |
| 2119 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills Now that Madulf and his band have been killed, I can return to the mayor and tell him that the deed has been done. Hopefully the village will be safe from here on. |
| 2120 Ah, Jansen! Been here all the time while your cronies look for a cure. She recovered on her own. No thanks to you. |
| 2121 You listen, girl, this is between me and him. He's been trying to steal you from me ever since we first met. |
| 2122 You've been away too long, boy. You don't know whom you're talking to. Guards! Take him outside. |
| 2123 Very well. Be quick, I can't stand the stench of these slums for much longer. |
| 2124 Leave him alone, Vaelag. He was only trying to help me. |
| 2125 Both of you, stop it! You're frightening the children. Vaelag, please wait outside. I'll thank these people for showing me hospitality while you were busy. |
| 2126 Ah, my hound, this city be the great world of commerce! Perhaps we can sell Jaheira? |
| 2127 Don't fret, Jan. Vaelag wants me back. |
| 2128 He has apologized. He won't be cruel to us again. |
| 2129 You will stop this immediately! I am grateful for what you have done, but you must not overstep your bounds. He is my husband and I love him. |
| 2130 He won't, Jan! He's different now. You're not being fair to him. |
| 2131 That was before, and we have spoken about those things. He promised to change. I am leaving now, Jan. |
| 2132 Cut my wit? Why, certainly, if I could only use your nose's razor edge to perform the task. |
| 2133 Aye, it seems I've sharpened it upon the grindstone of your heart. |
| 2134 Well, my frumpy ptarmigan, I must protest |
| 2135 "Methinks thou dost protest too much." Aye, I can quote the poets too. If you must protest, I respond only to hunger strikes and, even then, too late. |
| 2136 Oh, <CHARNAME>, raven of sympathy! Yon woman is stifling my creativity and stealing thunder from my wit! I swear I cannot work amidst the lashings of her tongue! |
| 2137 I watch you, blackbird. I watch you, and 'tis as if you are a dancer pinned between two panes of glass called Bliss and Rage. |
| 2138 No! My army is not yet complete! |
| 2139 And as for being pinned between those panes of glass? |

| 2202 Aye, as you wish. |
| 2203 What? Allâ€â€all I have which... which is almost nothing... Please, I will do whatever I can for you, but I can do nothing until you give me the key and I am free from my chains... |

| 2247 What would I ever do without you? |
| 2248 I... I think you need to find out, my dear. I've taught you everything I can. It's time, Aerie... time for you to learn the rest on your own. |
| 2249 You're the wisest and the smartest and the kindest man I'll ever know. |
| 2250 I wasn't always, my dear. You changed that. But I can't keep you here. <CHARNAME>... you can provide for her better than I. Perhaps you will take her with you? |

| 2252 There is no room for her at my side, right now at least. Perhaps another time. |
| 2253 You would... you would have me travel with you? I would love to, but... Oh Quayle, I would miss you! |
| 2254 Then you shall have to come and visit me from time to time and tell me what you've learned. Go... go with my blessing, girl. |
| 2255 ...All right. Takeâ€â€take care of the circus while I'm away. |
| 2256 Oh, don't worry about me. If you find happiness, maybe the pain of losing your wings will be lessened... nothing would please me more. Be well, my Aerie. |

| 2381 I know not who has done this, but I will avenge most viciously the wrongs they... the wrongs... Dynaheir! I will cave their skulls for what they have done! |
| 2382 I will continue my adventures with you, and... and... those that do evil will pay dearly for their actions! So swears Minsc! On Dynaheir's grave, so swear I! |
| 2383 I will exact penance from each and every wicked soul that dared lay a finger on... |
| 2384 Will you help? We must join together once more, and our fury will be such that bards will run their quills dry! Yes, ink will be scarce where'er we go! |
| 2386 Drink hail! Wassail for all! I be curious, friends. I'm scouring for a band of desperate men to aid me in a gallant task. Ye look like ye keep undertakers in a brisk trade. 'Ave ye courage and time fer a tale? |
| 2387 A fortnight past, my former band and I, proud delvers all, were involved in an unpleasant quarrel. We were attempting to abscond an ancient tome for our patron from its resting place. This bickering led to cruel humor, vile words and alas, a lake of bloodshed. The book ne'er made it to our merchant friend's hands. His love of wordcraft prevails to this day, and all he wants is his sacred grimoire. So the scuttlebutt is that the pay's handsome and worthy of noteâ€â€rare cut gems, sacks of loot, odd magics. Best of all, the book be not far from where we petty-fog now. |
| 2388 This is the key that was given to you by Edwin. He tells you that it will open a container in Mae'Var's chambers in which proof of his betrayal can be found. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 2389 Mmm-mmm! tastes like chicken! |
| 2392 Fine, lilywhites! Return when ye have found yer courage, if ye've 'ere felt its touch! |
| 2393 Calm yourself! We must keep our heads if we are to escape. |
| 2394 Dynaheir? There is another trapped here? |
| 2395 I grow weary of your outbursts! If you continue, I will leave you here! |
| 2397 We have to keep our heads if we are to escape this place. |
| 2398 Belly up, comrades, and let Korgan flail the bladder for a spell. |
| 2399 Drink hail! Wassail for all! I be curious, friends. I'm scouring for a band of desperate men to aid me in a gallant task. Ye look like ye keep undertakers in a brisk trade. 'Ave ye courage and time fer a tale? |
| 2400 Thanks, but no thanks. We've other matters to attend to. |
| 2401 We'll listen to your tale. |
| 2402 Where be the book then, Korgan? |
| 2403 In some hobnail's tomb over in the lower crypts of the Graveyard District. It's nae abandoned, but rumors and half-truths only scare the young and infirm. Keeps the curious away, me guess. |
| 2404 Who is this book collector? Why his interest in this particular timeworn manual? |
| 2405 A fortnight past, me fellows and I were in the midst of obtaining an ancient text fer our patron when a skirmish visited our midst. Vile words, alas, became a lake of bloodshed. |
| 2406 This book collector? Who is he? Why the interest in this particular timeworn manual? This book sounds too valuable to be couriered. |
| 2407 Pimlico collects books just fer the pleasure of collecting. Arcane, bizarre, peculiar; it matters not. |
| 2408 Well... it'll take far more than a few shambling bags of skin and stitches to deter Korgan Bloodaxe from a king's ransom! A foolhardy jaunt into a hive of undead? How could ye resist? |
| 2409 Is there something we should know about this tomb? |
| 2410 We've heard enough of your tale. Bugger off now. |
| 2411 Trapped?! Her spirit... her spirit is trapped in a cage created by my failure. I was to guard her, but she... she... |
| 2412 Myconid |
| 2413 Myconid |
| 2414 The tomb is calling, and I may be forced to heed her beckon alone and enjoy the wages without me stalwarts by me side. |
| 2415 Fine then, lant-quaffers! I've put up with ye fribblin' long enough! I've work to do, and it'll not be with the likes of this girdle-waisted loom crew! |
| 2416 Sssssstinking meat... cursssssed with life. There are lawssss even here, rulessss. Final resssst musssst be maintained... defilerssss will die... it is the way of all flesssshhhh. Kaza'sss tome isss gone! Nevaziah'sss ssssstudent ssshall be thy doom. Join me in death... |
| 2417 Ye nae made your way to the accursed crypt then? Ye can ne'er send a longlimb to do what's a dwarven task by divine right! What is it that ye want? |

| 2429 Sorry for bothering you, Korgan. We'll be on our way. |
| 2430 Cease yer prattle then... unless ye've something useful in that cakehole. |
| 2431 This tomb looks to be looted! The rank, stinking bastards beat us here! Those scoundrels'll dine on me sup o' cold steel afore I'm through with 'em! |
| 2432 Hold a moment, Korgan, we were hasty with our words. We will accompany you to Pimlico's. |
| 2433 Those grog-blossomed prickmedainties 'ave crossed me one time too many! We've some walking undead to dispatch now, and then some live dead to find and bury! |
| 2434 Myconid King |
| 2435 This is our territory. |
| 2436 Not so fast, Korgan. Your desire to gain the tome is admirable, but we've other irons in the forge. |
| 2437 Scimitar +3 |
| 2438 Allow? Perhaps yer new gang of bowelhives would like t' know that rockrunt here took it upon himself, whiles we were out and about, ta up and dirtnap three of the crew. |
| 2439 Then onward to victory and spoils! |
| 2440 Fools! Scurvy whelps! Only scent stronger than weakness is the stink of cowardice! If that's the way you want it, then I'll take me leave of ye. |
| 2441 Damn! Ye've all taken too long. Ransacked she is! Looted she was! Ye can't tell from barking in the street, but indoors is spiced rum, dilligrout, and Pimlico's noon-meats. |
| 2442 By the looks of it, me former comrades have painted Pimlico's finery with his innards. |
| 2443 Fair enough, friends, but we'd best make haste. |
| 2444 I see little has changed yer candor, Shagbag. Still a lant-gulpin' dirt chute. |
| 2445 Cure Disease |
| 2446 Ye know, there's nothin' that ails ye that I can't fix with me fists, Shagbag. |
| 2447 Cure Disease (Abjuration) Level: 3 Sphere: Necromantic Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None By laying <PRO_HISHER> hands upon a sickly person, the caster can cure almost any disease with this spell. The cure is permanent, but does not grant the recipient of the spell immunity from further afflictions. Blindness, deafness, and feeblemind are also cured with this spell. Some magically created diseases may not be curable by this spell. |
| 2448 I'll nae allow that. I don't like being a bastard, but ye leave me nae choice. |
| 2449 Disease Cured |
| 2450 Bespawl all that! Nonsense! Steel was drawn with cold intent, Shagbag, and ye're well aware of the trespass! |
| 2451 Spacewarp |
| 2452 Pray if ye've a god, cur. |
| 2453 Nalia, ye're overtall, beardless, long-limbed, and lack strength. Ye disgust me. |
| 2454 Be aware, Mazzy, I've something long, hard, and low to the ground ye're free to touch and fondle. Child, no need to glare! 'Twas me axe I was referring to... it's a joke! |
| 2455 Were ye aware, Mazzy, that despite my gruff bearing and taciturn manner, I am also trained in the erotic arts? |
| 2456 Ye know, Mazzy, I'm a poet of fair renown back home. Here's a mere trifle: |
| 2457 That's delightful, Korgan. Not lengthy, but effective. |
| 2458 Aye. Wrote it after a liquor-induced dervish o' temper, whereby a tavern was flattened and me helmet dented. |
| 2459 I've an elf-knot in my neck from strainin' to admire the whole of yer beauty, Mazzy. Calf's skin suits yer form mightily, girl. |
| 2460 Yoshimo, I'd sooner be chained in a dank hole than listen to yer verbal crapulence. I've a stomach full of windy humors with more character than ye. |
| 2461 I've seen the clay feet yer moral crusade stands on, paladin, and no lies can keep it from collapsing. Ye're hellbound like me. Only a matter of the hourglass. |
| 2462 No, your tale holds no interest for us. |
| 2463 Yer reputation don't know yer character. Ye lay falsehoods where ye need to, cleric, but I've read yer story on the faces of the dead and all's nae written yet. |
| 2464 Aye, and he'd be wise to measure how pure yer grace be. |
| 2465 Yes, tell us your tale then, dwarf. |
| 2466 Fer a muddled longlimb, Keldorn, ye doth wield a clever blade indeed. |
| 2467 Myconid King |
| 2468 I need no narrow stick of steel to rend a foe asunder. I prefer the axe to split the difference. Allies, aye, fallen too, if need be. |
| 2469 Spell Triggerâ€â€Protection From Magical Weapons |
| 2470 It's nae brutal, only reasonable force. Ye pick yer battles big enough to matter and small enough to win. They all had it comin'. All of 'em. |
| 2471 Salamander |
| 2472 Rainmaker, use yer mumbo-jumbo and make sure it don't rain when we're traveling in the outdoors! It makes me armor rust, me clothes damp, and me feet slosh about in me favorite boots. |
| 2473 You have no eyes... how did that occur? |
| 2474 Bah! Tree-hugging dirt-eater! If yer god lived on Faerûn, I'd break his windows! Good fer nothin'! Go pluck mistletoe and frolic naked in glades! |
| 2475 Valygar! Ye're indeed a dervish! If I didn't know better, I'd swear there was a dwarf hidin' in the woodpile nine months before yer mam birthed ye! |
| 2476 Ye'd be wise to skulk about in the shadows and pick yer dainty locks, else yer time be up. Hear me, scoundrel? |
| 2477 I hear you plain enough, dwarf. I seek no quarrel with your prowess. |
| 2478 So the snakebelly ain't as dumb as he looks. There's a lad. |
| 2479 Aerie? AERIE! Cease yer whinin'! I'd swear on my father's coal cart ye were one o' them fey elves with all the blasted cryin' coming from ye. |
| 2480 Ye know, Bag o' Tricks, ye and I are nae so different. Ye fetch awe with eye of newt and tongue of salamander, I with battleaxe and bloodlust. |
| 2481 Salamander |
| 2482 Nay, not so bold. The rest of these backpedalers 'aven't a clue. Ye and I, we know the longlimb's capacity fer the horrible and severe, eh friend? We know. |
| 2483 Ice Salamander |
| 2484 Hahahahahaa! Marvelous tale, gnome. Well told, well told. Only blight on ye is that trimmed beard and that loathsome pointy pickle hanging off yer face. |
| 2485 Yer combat prowess is a sight to behold, Minsc. Ye certain no dwarven blood runs through ye? |
| 2486 Boo points, I punch! Is very simple relationship, but it is effective. |
| 2487 That rodent? Ye're at the beck and call of vermin? |
| 2488 Intelligence Increase |
| 2489 Warrior, perhaps chasing windmills be best left to ye. |
| 2490 That's a fine wooden staff you've there, woman. Tell me, ye crack acorns with it? Or call some rarebit friends to frolic with ye? |
| 2491 Nature's servant makes no judgment on the woodlands. Your tone betrays you, Korgan. |
| 2492 Perhaps ye could summon a horde of squirrels to take the day, or make a lovely leaf stew? Make sure ye and yer twig be of some use, though that use be lost on me. |
| 2493 Well, there be the rarest of sights. |
| 2494 Carved from the heart of a rotten treant, this spear smells of death. When held in your hands, it groans a little, as if reluctant to allow a living thing to touch it. In battle, the Spear of Withering spits a foul poison into its target upon each successful hit.

| 2495 One of yer baker-legged ilk out under the sun. Rumor has it ye melt, cook like lamb on the spit, or'll fall apart, all limbs askew. |
| 2496 This blade, although only lightly enchanted, has achieved a semblance of awareness, enough so that it allows only the thief known as Yoshimo to wield it. Any other than he cannot use this flawless katana in battle. STATISTICS: THAC0: +1 Damage: 1d10+1 (slashing) Speed Factor: 3 Proficiency Type: Katana Type: One-handed Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 5 |
| 2497 The Underdark I left a lifetime ago. Ye blackskins are all the same: good fer three things... owning, hunting, and killing. |
| 2498 I hate Amn. I hate the heat, the squalor, the desperation. Everyone has the silver tongue here. I hate the stagnant, lant-tepid brew... Oh! Friends! Ye'd hear me tale then? |
| 2499 Aye, so ye'd still be interested in my proposal then? Howe'er ye've mustered yer resolve, gird your loins so I've no witness to bear to weakness. We've a job to do. |
| 2500 We'll join you in plundering this crypt of its riches. |
| 2501 We want nothing to do with you or your mad schemes. |
| 2502 We'll join you on one condition... you pay us. |
| 2503 We have no time at present, but may soon. |
| 2504 Drink hail! Then let us posthaste to the crypt and riches beyond ken! |
| 2505 Fine then, bowelhives! I'll be stirring dirt in the lavatory if ye change yer middling minds. Then about the tavern, should ye ponder further. |
| 2506 Nay, longlimbs. Ye're forcing me to be a bastard, and while that may be easy, free is the price. Leave it or take it. |
| 2507 Fine, then. Free it is. So long as we get a portion of the treasure. |
| 2508 How do you say in Dwarvish "We want money"? |
| 2509 I were sorely mistaken to think I'd find heroes amongst yer sorry lot. No pay, only rewards. I'll be herein should ye change that greedhead mind. |
| 2510 Ice Salamander |
| 2511 Goblin |
| 2512 Yes, we will join your cause and fight the good fight. |
| 2513 No, your cause curries no favor with us. |
| 2514 I'll be stewing prunes o'er a few spiced meads while you ponder. Perhaps we'll speak again, and ye will have grown some courage to replace the fear that cancers ye. |
| 2515 Casson Belde'ar |
| 2516 You were watching over Dynaheir? Is she trapped here too? |
| 2517 I will leave you here if you do not compose yourself at once. |
| 2518 We must maintain our heads if we are to exit here alive. |
| 2519 Dynaheir? Is she trapped here as well? I have not seen her. |
| 2520 I will leave you here if you do not compose yourself. |
| 2521 We must maintain our heads if we are to exit here alive. |
| 2522 Dynaheir? Was she trapped here as well? |
| 2523 I will leave you behind if you do not gain control of yourself. |
| 2524 Reconsider! I will rage as never before, and those in my path will fall left, right, and 'round the back! Dynaheir is... she is dead, and I will not rest... |
| 2525 If anything, I shall be even more single-minded in my focus! Minsc is Minsc, and it shall always be so. Come, Boo, we are among friends again! |
| 2526 Join with me, but you better serve me better than you did Dynaheir. |
| 2527 Stand by my side, and our enemies will answer for what they have done. |
| 2528 Your very being here shows you are weak. I will leave you where you are. |
| 2529 I will release you, Minsc, but I think it best that we part ways. I've troubles of my own that must take precedence over your cause. |
| 2530 Come, we must go now. Yes, Minsc and Boo and you, together again. Beware villains! I will force justice down your evil, evil throats! |
| 2531 You are filth... that I called friend! Do not make me add your ass to the kicking list! I would do so reluctantly, but I will do it! Choose your path now! |
| 2532 You are quite clearly insane. You shall stay right here. |
| 2533 I shall try and release you, but I don't know how your cage opens. |
| 2534 You lie! You freed yourself, and now you will not free me! Such villainy! Boo sees what you are doing! |
| 2535 Goblin |
| 2536 We've grown weary of this escapade. We've decided not to go to the tomb. |
| 2537 We hear your protest, Korgan. Don't worry. Let us go to the tomb. |
| 2538 Dragon Rain |
| 2539 Great Druid |
| 2540 Come, Boo, we must go! What? Yes, of course. My hamster says he will miss you. Such loyalty you inspire, even in rodents. Be proud, as Minsc is. |
| 2541 Hold on, Korgan. Wait a moment. Let's go to the tomb right now. |
| 2542 Good riddance to bad garbage, runt. We need you like a hole in the head. |
| 2543 great druid |
| 2544 My Tabitha... loyal to the end. Your death I shall avenge, on that I swear. |
| 2545 Ahh, I see you still have that... rodent. Dare I ask how you have kept it hidden from our captors? |
| 2546 Are you talking to a... hamster? What kind of a warrior are you? |
| 2547 Minsc and Boo are Minsc and Boo, and we shall not be separated. Shall we go? The butts of evil await my bootprint! |
| 2548 Ahh, I see you still have that... rodent. Dare I ask how you have kept it hidden from our captors? |
| 2549 Are you talking to a... hamster? What kind of a warrior are you? |
| 2550 Boo is the best purchase I ever made, and despite my head wound I could tell that his previous owner was good and honest. Boo is an asset to us all! |
| 2551 Stop your pitiful whining, dwarf, and waddle aside. |
| 2552 Ye've tested me mettle fer the last and final time! Ye'll beg me to kill ye soon enough! Have at thee! |
| 2553 Aye. Strength is me birthright. Courage me inheritance. War me destiny. But why should I join a motley band of beggars like ye? |
| 2554 Good company, great risk, and... treasure. Perhaps more than you could imagine. |
| 2555 Whoa, I've changed my mind. Why don't you go on ahead without me and I'll, uh... catch up with you later? Yeah... |
| 2556 If that's the way you feel about us, then so be it. We'll leave you to yourself. |
| 2557 Right you are, Minsc! Where'er evil dost lay its dirty feet, we shall mop the floor with its buttocks! |
| 2558 Why don't you just head off on your own and we'll meet up again... later? Yeah. |
| 2559 We have loot. Money. And we'll give you 100 gold of it if you join our party for the next few months. |
| 2560 For your mercenary services, we'll offer 500 gold. Any questions? |
| 2561 Hell and damnation, fools! Me head can imagine a fair horde. I've no impulse to travel with a sad bunch of may-dewed prickmedainties. Return when the reason is better than yer company alone. |
| 2562 Good! Then leave a farctated dwarf before I rend ye limbless. |
| 2563 100 gold? Nay nearly enough of the kingdom's coin to interest one so battle-proven! Return when the money purse ye carry grows deeper. |
| 2564 I have lost myself in your words, but Boo thinks you're just ducky. Onward! |
| 2565 500 gold? Aye, there be a fair venture. Consider me a comrade-in-arms. I'll just secret the coin away from ye, so's ye don't think o' cheatin' away with it. |
| 2566 Then let us be off, and woe be to those that dare to stand in our way. |
| 2567 So what musters yer interest in just another bibulous dwarf? |
| 2568 We seek a strong warrior to accompany us. Would you be such a person? |
| 2569 We're sorry for bothering you, Korgan. We'll see ourselves out. |
| 2570 Gnaw my arse! We just have no use for drunk blowhards who spend more time on a bar stool than a battlefield. |
| 2571 Speak of the undersized broadarse and what should waddle in? I was just remarkin' ta Crazyface and Scrooloose that shame it all no dwarf tossin' till next moonsday. Shame it is. |
| 2572 Yer likes frighten me not, midget. Bugger off. I've some high life to live with me and the boys! |
| 2573 No reason. None. Seems he were slighted or some other, and up and kills Stitch, Hogbelly, and Cutter. Allow? Rich coming outta you, runt. |
| 2574 This time, speck, ye're knee-deep in it. |
| 2575 Spacewarp (Alteration) Sphere: Numbers Range: 150 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 25-ft. radius sphere Saving Throw: None According to one view of the universe, what we perceive as gravity is actually a localized warping of the fabric of space-time. The Spacewarp spell creates a temporary but very intense warping in a limited area. When the priest casts this spell, <PRO_HESHE> selects a specific point to be the center of effect. This point may be anywhere within 150 feet of the caster, including in midair. When the spell is completed, this center of effect gains a gravity field equal to the force felt at the surface of the earth. In other words, gravity is centered at this point; everything within 50 feet of this center that is not attached to something immovable will fall toward the selected point. This localized gravity affects only loose objects and creatures capable of movement (i.e., not trees, whose roots are buried in the ground). It does not affect the ground itselfâ€â€soil, plants, desert sand, lake water, etc. are immune to the effect. |

| 2582 You always were the smartest man I knew, Uncle. Someday when we have more time, we'll come and stay for a fortnight so you might get to know him. |
| 2583 A fortnight? Hoi, my dear, you overestimate my stomach for young love. Come for a tenday and I promise not to be driven mad by your longing gazes. |

| 2587 Oh, my little Aerie, every visit from you is a gift. You have come so far and surrounded yourself with such wonderful friends... or is he more than a friend? |
| 2588 Hello, Aerie. Would you like to travel with us again? |
| 2589 Excuse me, mate, I've got t' get meself another ale, I does. |
| 2590 Hello, Aerie... How have you been? |
| 2591 There is nothing else for me to do... Aye, what choice have I? |
| 2592 How could I travel with you? You of all people should know not to ask... My home is this circus and all else is madness... Take care out there, but I'll not be with you... |
| 2593 Time passes, the people walk by... but at least I've been able to stay here at the circus. Take care, <GABBER>... |
| 2594 I... I guess I'll go back to the circus, then. You'll come visit me there, won't you? |
| 2595 Iâ€â€I should never have let you take me from the circus! You're all heartless, every last one of you! |
| 2596 Ugh! Itâ€â€it hurts, Nalia. |

| 2646 Er, yes. Now let's get going before we draw a crowd. No need to flaunt our deeds. |
| 2647 I used to want to be aâ€â€an actress. |
| 2648 Nonsense! All enjoy the sight of heroes. We'll be the talk of the town for days! Wave to the nice people, Boo. Wave to the nice hamster, people. WAVE! |
| 2649 You cannot always win, can you...? |
| 2650 Yes! Lead evil by example, and one day we need no longer put the boots to those that stray off the path of goodness into the muck and bile of villainy and track great bloody footprints across our lily-white tiles! Boo will have clean wood shavings, you evil bastards! |
| 2651 Good has no need of low profiles! There is no shame in boasting if one follows through, and I am not about to keep my voice low! Perhaps Boo will, but not I! |
| 2652 No, sir. |
| 2653 Run along then. I still have some prayers that I must get through before the sun again touches the earth with its rays. |
| 2654 Yesâ€â€yes, sir. |
| 2655 Anomen... I... I've been watching you since you failed your Test, and... you... you're starting to scare me a little, Iâ€â€I think... |
| 2656 I need no pressure from you, Aerie. Leave me be. |
| 2657 Just because you failed your Test doesn't mean you have to abandon everything good about the Order, does it? I mean... you were almost a paladin! |
| 2658 That's just it, isn't it? I was almost a paladin. I was almost strong enough. Well, almost isn't good enough, Aerie... so no, it doesn't mean a thing. Not anymore. |
| 2659 Paralyze |
| 2660 But Anomen- |
| 2661 Get out, girl! Did you hear me? I won't have you hounding me! Get out! |
| 2662 Beholder |
| 2663 Beholder |
| 2664 Sunray |
| 2665 Death Ray |
| 2666 Gauth |
| 2667 Gauth |
| 2668 Ooookaaaay. |
| 2669 We follow the path that surely leads to glory! Boo is proud to be here, I can tell. |
| 2670 It is not worthy of such a fuss, Minsc. A simple, uninspiring act of charity. |
| 2671 And he should be! We are the righteous standard by which others are judged! |
| 2672 I am not trying to please your rodent. I do this because it will benefit me in the long term. |
| 2673 Minsc, have you considered getting restorative magic for that head of yours? |
| 2674 Then say it louder! We must inspire fear in evil! Quiet tales of hamsters are foolish, but a man and his hamster that tear evil limb from limb? That's scary! |
| 2675 I only help because it's profitable to do so! I am not some traveling charity show! |
| 2676 Now you are speaking the language of Minsc! Next we must get you a hamster! Or perhaps an ice weasel, whatever your tastes. |
| 2677 It's good that I know you are kidding. I would hate to have to cleanse my own party of evil. Always strive to be on the safe end of the justice boot. |
| 2678 I know I think clearly because Boo tells me so. That is enough for me, though it never seems to be enough for anyone else. Their loss, for I am content. |
| 2679 Eeeh, yes, though I don't think you will be scaring quite who you expect. |
| 2680 How do I get out of this dog and pony show? |
| 2681 Ahh, what the hell. Right-o, Minsc! Our deeds will ring in the evil ears we box and label "Do not open 'til midwinter fest"! |
| 2682 As long as some are scared and tell the rest, that is all that matters. Come, we must press on against the tide of naughtiness. Mind your step. |
| 2683 I don't understand the reference, but Boo enjoyed it. An omen of good things... or of horrible and humorous death, I am not sure which. |
| 2684 These acts will place our names in the songs of skalds and bards from here to my home! There can be no doubt. |
| 2685 I will not tolerate actions such as this! We should strive to be just and fair. |
| 2686 Strength Increase |
| 2687 Wisdom Increase |
| 2688 Dexterity Increase |
| 2689 When making a glorious egg dish of goodness, I understand some eggs must be broken. But actions such as this are... simply deplorable! |
| 2690 Do you think before you speak, or do words just stumble out on their own? |
| 2691 You are right, Minsc. I shall try to be nicer in my dealings with people. Yes, I shall try. |
| 2692 It was a momentary lapse, though I can see how this might be profitable. |
| 2693 Words are just loud air. Actions must take priority in my mind. A phrase might cause some discomfort, but it is good deeds that cause evil the most pain. |
| 2694 That is all that can be asked. A crusade might be better, but few have the focus required. I will be the example if anyone wishes to follow in my wake. |
| 2695 A hero needs no profit. A sword is just a few coins; armor is only a few more. No, it is evil that needs gold to fund their machinations, not heroes. |
| 2696 I, uh... I could use a bit of a lie-down... lest I drop Boo on the battlefield. Have we a healer near? |
| 2697 Hang in there, big fella. We'll get you fixed up as soon as possible. |
| 2698 Suck it up, Minsc! I never figured the big and powerful Minsc for a weakling! |
| 2699 You must be patient, Minsc. We are not always in the best circumstance for quick healing. |
| 2700 Yes, that would be best. I should not like evil to get the jump on a weakened Minsc. We must be at our best for the fight to come. |
| 2701 Minsc is no weakling! I have survived more than you could bear! It is just unwise to let wounds go untreated! Enemies will find their work half done already! |
| 2702 I know this, but Boo worries. |
| 2703 Ugh! We must rest and get healthy. It would not do for us to be caught unsuspecting with Minsc in this kind of shape. |
| 2704 I do not get through many battles without injury. Why is Minsc always on the front line taking damage? |
| 2705 They say homecomings are like that. |
| 2706 Coming back here seems so strange, Keldorn. One moment it makes me happy, and... and the next it just leaves me sad all over. |
| 2707 Are you a freakishly large juggernaut that charges at the drop of a hat? Just a guess on my part. |
| 2708 But you have deferred damage away from another. That is a valiant sacrifice, Minsc. |
| 2709 Do you wish to cower away from battle? I would not have expected such from you. |
| 2710 Orc Leader |
| 2711 If you continue to complain, I shall make certain you are left on the battlefield altogether. |
| 2712 I... I suppose you would know, wouldn't you? Iâ€â€I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up that way. |
| 2713 Perhaps I am a touch quick to combat, but I temper my temper with common sense about who I should attack. What? I do too! Why does Boo snicker? |
| 2714 'Tis a pain I live with, a truth I know. Speaking of it airs the soul. |
| 2715 Do you still love her? |
| 2716 So, there is sanity in all this madness. If you are not in league with the evil that dwells in this unholy place, Yoshimo begs your assistance. |
| 2717 If I protect more people by being at the forefront, then so be it! I shall charge in an instant and make my enemies sorry they were born as bad as they are! |
| 2718 Aye... I always have and I always shall. That is the way of it, I guess. |
| 2719 Who calls? Excuse my mistrust, but this is quite a hellish mess I'm into here. |
| 2720 Assistance you shall get. What ails you, friend? |
| 2721 Stay back, fiend! I'll not fall for such childish tricks. |
| 2722 I share your sentiments. I have seen much here that has disturbed me. I myself am a warrior with no evil intentions. Please, I would welcome any assistance you might offer. |
| 2723 Then assistance you shall get, Yoshimo. What ails you, friend? |
| 2724 I don't believe you. Stay back if you wish to live. |
| 2725 How did you come to be here? |
| 2726 I had four husbands during my life in the Underdark... before the fall of House DeVir. I killed each one. Three for sport and one for infidelity with my sister. |
| 2727 I would welcome another companion, but I have a few questions first. |
| 2728 Of them all, my sister's betrayal was the most difficult to deal with. I didn't wish to, but punishment had to be administered. |
| 2729 I do not think that it would be wise. I'll be better off navigating this place without you. |
| 2730 I am no fiend! I am Yoshimo! You know, Yoshimo? |
| 2731 Sorry, I've never heard of you. |
| 2732 THE Yoshimo? Feared by all? |
| 2733 In that case, how did you come to be here? |
| 2734 I do not know how long I was there before awaking. |
| 2735 If that is what you think, then you do not know Minsc. I never cower! Boo does, but he fears being underfoot. I do not! I am the over-foot placing evil at end-of-boot! |
| 2736 Do you think that we are in Athkatla? |
| 2737 How do I know that you aren't some sort of fiend here to lure me into a trap? |
| 2738 I do not know a way to escape this place. Perhaps we could search for this exit together. |
| 2739 I shall not! I don't like the look of you! Leave at once! |
| 2740 These little beasties keep coming in through the portals. Perhaps if the portals are destroyed, one could defeat the beasts that have already come through. |
| 2741 Perhaps then Yoshimo's predicament won't seem so funny! |
| 2742 Stay calm, I was only trying to lighten the mood. How did you come to be here? |
| 2743 I'm leaving now. Good luck surviving this place. |
| 2744 You must be new to Amn, or at least Athkatla. |
| 2745 As far as I know, I've never been to Amn. Do you think that we are in Athkatla? |
| 2746 Your ego outdoes your accomplishments, it would seem. How did you come to be here? |
| 2747 At last, an admirer! I do not know a way to escape this place. Perhaps we could search for this exit together. |
| 2748 Certainly, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>, as you wish. |
| 2749 As you say, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 2750 What about you? Do you have a... a place to come home to? |
| 2751 If it was the former, this place could be anywhere. If it was the latter, then I don't imagine that I could have traveled very far without noticing. |
| 2752 What do you propose to do now? |
| 2753 We shall! Welcome to my party! |
| 2754 How do I know that you aren't some sort of fiend here to lull me into insensibility? |
| 2755 What do you need to know? |
| 2756 I'm not sure if I should trust you. I will take my leave of you now. |
| 2757 How did you get here? |
| 2758 What aid do you need? |
| 2759 If you are ever in Athkatla and need some assistance, I reside at the Copper Coronet, an inn of some renown. First, however, a warning... |
| 2760 My faith is my home and... and by the will of Torm, I take it with me where I go... |
| 2761 I shall survive by taking the wise path. Go ahead and forge the trail. I will follow your path once I have rested a bit. |
| 2762 I shall be happy to lend my blade to your cause. There are two things that I have discovered about this place that may help us escape. |
| 2763 You have changed your mind? Shall we draw our blades with a common purpose? |
| 2764 I would welcome another companion, but I have a few questions first. |
| 2765 I do not think that it would be wise. I'll be better off navigating this place without you. |
| 2766 Ah, my desperate, imprisoned friends! You are still alive and enjoying Athkatla's bounty, I see. |
| 2767 It is good to know that you've escaped that place, Yoshimo. |
| 2768 I am no friend of yours. Leave me be. |
| 2769 I'm sorry, I have no time to talk with you. |
| 2770 I agree. Welcome to the Copper Coronet, my home here in Athkatla. What can Yoshimo offer you? Information? Contacts? Equipment? Perhaps you would like me to join you? |
| 2771 Information. Have you heard any rumors? |
| 2772 Where might I get equipment for a reasonable price? |
| 2773 You read my mind, it seems. Come, join my party. |
| 2774 If you don't care about your party, then it will be you that is left on the battlefield eventually! I can only fight as long as I have my health... |
| 2775 There is no need to hurt Yoshimo's delicate feelings. You have dishonored me before these drunkards, thieves, and gamblers. I may never live this down. |
| 2776 Come back and see me when you have more time. |
| 2777 I know of nothing specific here. I would talk to others in this place... adventure always finds its way here. The docks is also an interesting place to find work. |
| 2778 Follow me closely inside as well. I fancy there no be a more dangerous a building in all o' Baldur's Gate. Can you think o' anywhere better equipped against thieves than the Thieves' Guild itself? Could teach Durlag's Tower a thing or three, I dare say. |
| 2779 Torm? |
| 2780 Interesting. Where might I get equipment for a reasonable price? |
| 2781 I would like you to join my party. |
| 2782 That is all that I need at present. |
| 2783 The barkeep's name is Bernard. He will sell you high-quality equipment at a reasonable price. If you have the time, though, I would suggest the Adventure Mart in the promenade. |
| 2784 Excellent. What rumors have you heard? |
| 2785 I would like you to join my party. |
| 2786 That is all that I need at present. |
| 2787 Aye, the servant god, always ready to sacrifice himself in duty's name. I have a family I have not been with in some time; Torm requires sacrifice from us all. |
| 2788 I would be honored to wield my sword for you. |
| 2789 Oh, taker of my honor, do not return to torment me further. Unless you have come to take back your cruel words, I ask you to leave now. |
| 2790 I have returned to apologize. |
| 2791 I will leave. |
| 2792 Welcome to the Copper Coronet, my home here in Athkatla. What can Yoshimo offer you? Information? Contacts? Equipment? Perhaps you would like me to join you? |
| 2793 Information. Have you heard any rumors? |
| 2794 Where might I get equipment for a reasonable price? |
| 2795 Join me, join me, by all means. I could use the help, to be honest. |

| 2810 You don't seem... comfortable here. |
| 2811 Forgive me, dear elf. It is just that I have never understood the city. |
| 2812 What is there to understand? Cities are where you go when you have no place else to be. |
| 2813 Perhaps that is it. I have my grove, and the beauty tethers my heart to its ferns and mosses. When next we visit, would you like me to show them to you? |
| 2814 Deer |
| 2815 The pain will only be passing; you should survive the process. |
| 2816 Interesting. You have much untapped power. |
| 2817 I'm sorry to bother you. I will be leaving shortly. |
| 2818 A pretty one? Have you come to join the merriment for all eternity? |
| 2819 Do you even realize your potential? |

| 2837 When asked about his past, VALYGAR is silent for a long time and his face becomes grim. He explains briefly that he is the last of the Corthala noble line, a family that was once one of the wealthiest in Amn. The Corthalas have always been cursed with magical ability, however, and Valygar spits the words with great derision. Every Corthala who has used their magical talents has become obsessed with them and ultimately come to a grievous end. His mother was the most recent victim, although the ranger does not elaborate on the point. Valygar intends to fulfill his family's oath to find and destroy their ancestor, Lavok, and then he intends to let his cursed bloodline die out once and for all. |
| 2838 IMOEN is a shadow of her former self, but responds to your inquiries with as much of a smile as she can muster. Obviously shaken by the revelations about your shared origins, she seems determined to make the best of things, despite the uncharacteristic that has now made its presence known within her. The taint of Bhaal was slow to manifest, kept at bay by her carefree outlook, but now the strength of it has shaken her. She is scared of what she might become, and the insight she has gained has made her more concerned about your condition as well. |
| 2839 When asked about his past, JAN stops tinkering with his gadgets and states that, despite all claims to the contrary, turnip beer has wondrous medicinal properties in addition to its fine taste. |
| 2840 When asked about his past, KELDORN sighs and is forced to think for a moment before counting the number of years he has been a paladin of Torm in the service of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. He has battled to protect the defenseless and punish the evil on more occasions than he can recall. A seasoned veteran with the scars to prove it, Keldorn speaks wistfully of retirement in the future and the opportunity to spend more time with his family. Upon their mention, however, Keldorn's attention wanders and grows grim. Duty is more important than personal considerations, he whispers harshly, so long as the Order has need of him. |
| 2841 You dare to attack me here? Do you even know whom you face?! |
| 2842 Go then and leave the circle. You should never have come here without an invitation. Away with you, mortal! |
| 2843 Are you leaving so soon? I had hoped you would stay with us for a while. Ahhh, well... mortals must be as they are. So be it! |
| 2844 You will suffer! You will all suffer! |

| 2855 You're not going to torture us any longer. |
| 2856 Greater Earth Elemental |
| 2857 Torture? Silly girl, you just don't understand what I'm doing, do you? |
| 2858 I don't care what you're doing! Let us go! |
| 2859 I won't let you leave, not when I'm so close to unlocking your power. |
| 2860 Then it shall be so. |

| 2864 When asked about her past, NALIA is a bit hesitant. She comes from a wealthy landowning family headed by Lord de'Arnise, and while she speaks of her relatives with affection, the fact of her upbringing seems to embarrass her at the same time. Nalia clearly identifies more with the "poorer classes"... but also looks upon them with the eyes of the privileged. She has been educated and taught the magical arts, as per her dead mother's wishes, but Nalia states that her years of sneaking out of the castle have taught her the other side of life as well. She still has much to learn about life beyond her caste, however, and she knows it... and she is sure adventuring is the answer. |
| 2865 Enough! I will no longer listen to the babbling of ignorant children. |
| 2866 This is an unsanctioned use of magical energy! |
| 2867 Earth Elemental |
| 2868 All involved will be held! This disturbance is over! |
| 2869 Must I be interrupted at every turn?! Enough of this! |

| 2896 When asked about her past, AERIE becomes silent for a time, obviously saddened by the memory. She lived amongst the avariel, the winged elves, and was captured by slavers when she was still very young. She shudders when she speaks of her first years in the circus, on display in a cage that restricted her movements to the point that her wings atrophied. They became infected... and Aerie can barely speak of the night she was taken out of her cage and her wings were sawn off brutally to keep her alive. She was no longer of use to that circus, and were it not for the kindness of Quayle, she surely would have died. He restored her to health and gave her a reason to continue living, and out of respect for his generosity, she learned the devotion of the gnomish god Baervan Wildwanderer. She speaks of Baervan with affection, yet still pays tribute to Aerdrie Faenya, and approaches life outside of the circus with a combination of wide-eyed innocence and wonder mixed with an inborn determination to fight against injustice. |
| 2897 When asked about his past, CERND declares in a steady and modest tone that it has been his honor to serve nature in whatever capacity she did call upon him. It is clear that he is a dedicated servant, and though his demeanor is contemplative and well measured, you are certain that he would not hesitate to risk himself if it would best serve the greater balance. |
| 2898 Fist |
| 2899 When asked about his past, YOSHIMO seems disheartened that you are not already acquainted with his reputation. By his own account, he is apparently well known among people in the know, both as a daring rogue and as a dashing man about town. While the story sounds impressive, he seems ungainly for such exploits, possibly a bit more hapless than debonair. He wears it well, however, and perhaps even capitalizes on it. He seems to know that his kind of good-natured humor is well appreciated by most everyone he meets. |

| 2902 Rakshasa |
| 2903 They're so beautiful, Cernd, andâ€â€*shiver*â€â€and their light's so cold. |
| 2904 Oh, I wish they could grow forever! How could you ever leave such a place? |
| 2905 Though my body may roam, my spirit shall always rest here, Aerie. |
| 2906 I can just imagine the dreams I'd have in such a place, Cernd. |
| 2907 But... but it is who I amâ€â€it is how Quayle taught me. |
| 2908 I cannot understand it, Aerie. Why this magicâ€â€why from you, of all people? You are too innocent and good to practice such things. |
| 2909 I know, I know, but... magic corrupts. The very power of magic twists a mage's soul a little each day. There's always one more spell to learn or cast. |
| 2911 ...I hope you're right, Aerie. For your sake and mine... |
| 2912 Eek! |
| 2913 Outta my way, brat! |
| 2914 You there, elf girl. I be tired of yer constant miscastin' of magic while we be in the heat of battle. Can't ye do anything right, girl?! |
| 2915 Iâ€â€I tried myâ€â€my best, sir. |
| 2916 Well, it ain't good enough now, is it?! |
| 2917 Quit yer whinin', wench. So you be tired; we care not. Sleep when death takes ahold o' ye, which would be a welcome respite for the rest of us... god knows! |
| 2918 You are a filthy and horrible little man, Korgan! If he'sâ€â€if he's still with us this time tomorrow, I'm going back to the circus! |
| 2919 Aye, we'll miss you like a good club to the head, won't we, <CHARNAME>? Har har har! |
| 2920 Jan, how come you're always telling stories? |
| 2921 Ha ha! Look a' the sky, missy. Yer day's up, and I'm still 'ere. Ol' <CHARNAME> didn't e'en break it to ya gently. Take the hint and head back to yer little circus, girlie. |
| 2922 Because they're true, every last one of them, even the one about my great-grandfather slaying the dragon. |
| 2923 A dragon? Really? |
| 2924 Anti-Magic Ray |
| 2925 Anti-Magic Ray |
| 2926 Well not really, but close. He thought it was a dragon. He was experimenting with glass, grinding it down to make prisms and lenses, you see, because his daughter, my grandmother, was so cross-eyed that, until she was twelve years old, all she ever saw of the world was the nose in the center of her face. You never had that problem as a child, did you? |
| 2927 Me? Oh no, not that... |
| 2928 Good, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. So my great-grandfather had put together a great series of lenses and prisms, I think twelve in all, and attached them to a leather helm he had, the strap of which always chafed under the chin. Then, all of a sudden, a cloud passed in front of the sun. |
| 2929 Oh my! Was it the dragon? |
| 2930 No, no, it happened precisely as I tell it to you now: A cloud passed in front of the sun and my great-grandfather looked up from his work so quickly that a dragonfly got caught between two of the prisms over his left eye and clung there for dear life. Of course you can't imagine the hullabaloo this caused, my dear! |
| 2931 No, I can imagine it just fine, Mister Jansen. |
| 2932 There he was, throwing all his tools and turnips into the distance where he assumed his greatly magnified adversary to be, and he was running and hollering and telling us to get in the house while he tried to lure the ravaging beast into the backyard of our southside neighbors against whom he had always held a grudge. |
| 2933 Whatever happened? |
| 2934 What do you expect happened? We just assumed that he hadn't been taking his herbs and berries again and all wrestled him to the ground, ruining his precious lens-helm in the process, I'm afraid. It took as a good hour to calm him down and figure out what the truth of the whole matter had been. Now, do you know what the moral of the story is, Aerie? |
| 2935 Always wipe your lenses? |
| 2936 Hmm, that will do nicely. I hadn't come up with one for this story yet. |
| 2937 And your grandmother, did he make her a new lens-hat so she could finally see? |
| 2938 What? Oh no, no, it was an idea doomed to fail, I'm afraid. Two years later she lost her nose in a bizarre harvest accident and she's been seeing just fine ever since. |
| 2939 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills Whether I wish to assume the position or not, Mayor Wainwright has offered me the use of the cabin occupied by Merella, the former ranger-protector of Imnesvale and the area, who is now dead. The cabin lies just west of the village, and I may use it as much or as little as I wish. |
| 2940 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills I did not ask for the position of ranger-protector, and after refusing to aid a forest spirit named Mairyn, I was stripped of the task and the cabin both. So much for the village's gratitude. |
| 2941 You musn't let yourself get so wounded, Aerie. I won't always be around to bandage you, you know. |
| 2942 I'm a healer too, Jaheira. |
| 2943 And what good are your spells now? You should be more frugal and not cast them all at once. |
| 2944 Y-yes, ma'am. |
| 2945 And don't stutter; it doesn't become you. |
| 2946 This... this light makes your hair look really pretty, Jaheira. |
| 2947 Don't be a fool, it does nothing of the sort. |
| 2948 But |
| 2949 Put your silly romantic notions aside, Aerie. This isn't some childish fantasy, nor some grand adventure. Any one of us could die out here at any moment. |
| 2950 But we can go to the priests andâ€â€and they raise us from the dead again, as good as new, can't we? |
| 2951 Sometimes they don't come back! Sometimes some people, no matter how much you love them and no matter what you try to do, get... they get taken away. |
| 2952 So, sister of light, they tell me you were of the winged folk. |
| 2953 Iâ€â€I don't know what you're after, drow. Justâ€â€just stay away from me. |
| 2954 But you have lost your wings and fallen... What a pity. Perhaps you shall join me below and I shall teach you the ways of the dark goddess. |
| 2955 Get away from me, Viconia! Iâ€â€I want nothing to do with your type, and you'll not get me down there! |

| 2957 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills A forest spirit named Mairyn has implored me to aid her against humans who are tearing down her forest in the west, in the area where the Shadow Altar once was. She says the humans will not listen to her, and I have agreed to go and do what I can to help. |

| 2965 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills Lord Igen has agreed to hold off his excavations so long as I search for the mithral cache his ancestor has hidden in the area. He only has half of his ancestor's journal, and finding the other half might be my only clue to locating the cache. Likely the other half is also in the area, perhaps in the old dungeon itself. |
| 2966 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills The disappointed Lord Igen has taken the mithral medallion and agreed to leave the area as promised. I can now return to Mairyn and tell her that the forest is safe. |
| 2967 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills I was able to save the forest of a local spirit named Mairyn from the desecration of a local noble. As a ranger, the protection of nature and all that lies within it is my province. |

| 2969 Invisibility (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 2 Range: Touch Duration: Special Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell causes the creature touched to vanish from sight and be undetectable by normal vision or even infravision. Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature detectable. Even allies cannot see the invisible creature or its gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Items dropped or put down by the invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, until the recipient attacks any creature, or until 24 hours have passed. The caster cannot perform any actions that manipulate the environment around <PRO_HIMHER>, such as opening doors, disarming a trap, or opening a chest. The caster can, however, cast defensive spells on <PRO_HIMHER>self and fellow party members. And if <PRO_HESHE> attacks, <PRO_HESHE> immediately becomes visible, although the invisibility enables <PRO_HIMHER> to attack first. |

| 2971 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills Delon of Imnesvale came and told me that the village was under assault by orcs coming down from the hills. I told him I would go and help out as soon as possible. I should go within three days at most or it will be too late. |
| 2972 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills Delon of Imnesvale came and told me of a group of orcs that seems to have come down from the hills and attacked the village. I have other things to do, so the boy left. If I change my mind, I should go to the village within three days or it will be too late. |
| 2973 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills I managed to fight off the orcs and rescue Madulf the ogre, who had taken shelter in the nearby cave after his fellows were driven off. |
| 2974 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills I came to the village and saved it from attack by a clan of orcs that had come down from the mountains. Madulf the ogre, it seems, protected the village despite not having an alliance. The mayor was surprised and is going to speak to the ogre about the possibility now. |
| 2975 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills I have saved Imnesvale from a marauding band of orcs that came down from the hills. Madulf the ogre has, it seems, lived up to his original bargain and did his best to protect the town. |

| 2993 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills Imnesvale was threatened by a clan of orcs that had come down from the hills, but I was able to repel them and save the village. |

| 2996 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills I did not arrive at the Umar Hills quickly enough to help them with their attack by orcs. The villagers were forced to call on the Order of the Radiant Heart to save them, and the mayor has stripped me of the position and the use of the cabin. |
| 2997 And boredom stalked the halls. |

| 3013 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills Apparently, the witch Umar has returned to the Imnesvale area and has threatened the village. Delon came and told me of the danger, and I have agreed to go and speak to the mayor immediately. |

| 3024 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills The mayor of Imnesvale told me that Umar, or whoever is claiming to be her, has set up in the Shadow Portal dungeon to the west and threatens to destroy the village unless the inhabitants leave. |
| 3027 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills A witch claiming to be Umar has threatened Imnesvale, but I have no time to go to their rescue. The mayor of Imnesvale was angry enough that he stripped me of my position and the use of the cabin. |
| 3028 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills Mairyn, the forest spirit, appeared again and told me of the sorceress that has been poisoning her forest with infernal magic. The sorceress, claiming to be Umar, has set herself up in the now-empty Shadow Portal dungeon. |
| 3029 Ranger-Protector of the Umar Hills I have killed the sorceress who had assumed the name of Umar to scare off the villagers, and Mairyn has granted me a gift from the goddess Mielikki. The cabin is now mine to use for the remainder of my quest... and I have a feeling things will be more peaceful in the valley for some time to come. |
| 3030 Ruling the de'Arnise keep and lands Nalia has asked me to caretake her family's lands so that the Roenalls do not have the opportunity to take it from her whether she likes it or not. Her father's majordomo will assist me, running the day-to-day activities of the keep and collecting the taxes for me when I visit. The majordomo estimates that after the keep's maintenance is paid and money for the new garrison is deducted, I should make about 500 gp per week... which I can collect whenever I like. I can also raise taxes, but I must be careful of angering the people. I will also be needed to return every now and again in order to make decisions that the majordomo cannot make himself. The whole thing seems simple enough, really. |
| 3031 Ruling the de'Arnise keep and lands A runner has come to me, stating that I must return to the de'Arnise keep as soon as possible... no more than a week... as Lord Farthington Roenall, the head of the family that wished to take Nalia's family's keep, desires to see me. |
| 3032 Ruling the de'Arnise keep and lands Apparently, there has been a major flood in the lands around the de'Arnise keep. A runner has been sent to ask me to return as soon as possible, within a week or less, in order to restore order there. |
| 3033 Ruling the de'Arnise keep and lands It appears the Roenalls have finally decided to take extreme action to claim the de'Arnise lands and remove me from the castle. A runner reports that Roenall armed forces have been spotted approaching the keep... I will need to return there as soon as possible. |
| 3034 Ruling the de'Arnise keep and lands The de'Arnise keep has been conquered by the Roenall forces, despite everything I tried to do. Our resistance just took too long, and it wasn't enough. Lord Roenall has banished me from the land permanently. |
| 3035 With the death of your djinni, the summoning ring vanishes. |
| 3036 Ruling the de'Arnise keep and lands The Roenalls have finally been defeated. And with Lord Farthington dead, I doubt they will be returning anytime soon. My claim as the legitimate ruler of the castle has been strengthened... and hopefully things will be peaceful in the de'Arnise keep from now on. |
| 3039 Ruling the de'Arnise keep and lands I have taken too long to deal with the problem at the de'Arnise keep... the Roenall family has apparently stepped in to deal with the situation, and there was little that the locals would do to object. I have been locked out of the keep and am certainly not welcome by the new ruling family. |
| 3040 Last night, I had a dream. I had a dream about Imoen and Irenicus. At least, I think it was them. Imoen was acting very strange, and spoke of how she seemed to be losing sight of her own identity. Irenicus said that she would learn, and then he asked if I clung to the past or if I could "see through the pain." I think the dream was referring to the experiments Irenicus was doing on me. Something about my potential and what I could "take for my own" if I wanted. Obviously I shall have to seek answers from Irenicus himself. The shade in the dream was of no real help. |

| 3048 I... I don't have my wings anymore, Mazzy, and... and I'm never going to get them back. They're gone. |
| 3049 Dream a little, girl, especially here where the gods are listening. Faith is such a beautiful thing to hold on to, Aerie. |
| 3050 But it won't give me wings... |
| 3051 No, it probably won't... But it gives you a chance to dream at least, doesn't it? |

| 3057 I thought you might... Now come, we've got a world to face, don't we, girl? |
| 3058 Longlimbs! Look at them! Like grubworms scurryin' away from the light o' day. All avoidin' pain, on the prowl fer pleasure. Nae facin' uncertain futures. Best all dead, I reckon. |
| 3059 I did nae know ye were within earshot, girl. 'Twas a wee pondering, nothin' more. I enjoy making fun of the big folk. |
| 3061 I know of what ye speak of, Mazzy. I nae blind to it entirely. Treachery, theft, plunder. Hatred here, killing there. Nae respect fer heritage or the Way. |
| 3062 With due respect, Lady Mazzy, 'tis not civil. Longlimbs be victims of passion far more than me. The brief lifetimes, I reckon, be the core of their rage. |
| 3063 Lady Mazzy, sorry for any offense, truly, but I've cradled too many dyin' comrades and nae amount of resolve can keep the darkness at bay. |
| 3064 Out of respect for ye, I shall try. |

| 3150 Aye, and when we face a foe, I shall show them his pointy teeth! |
| 3151 Minsc has had the pleasure of standing next to many a warrior in battle, but I swear, I have never been as impressed as I am with you, Mazzy. |
| 3152 And what follows now? A comment of how grand I am for one so small? Your compliments are insults lightly veiled. |

| 3158 I never know if I can take your words as they are, Minsc, or if they carry some hidden meaning or riddle that must be solved. I trust you are approving of my skills then? |
| 3159 I could not be more so! Don't look for subtle messages, I keep nothing hidden. I help the weak and leave evil in my boot print. You are similar... Boo can tell. |

| 3165 Through acts of kindness and by living the example, I see no reason I should be denied this. Do you think me not fit because of my parentage? |
| 3166 Ahh, Boo, Minsc has placed his feet where his head should go once more. No, Mazzy, I meant only that it is a path that is difficult regardless. |
| 3167 *snicker* No, Minsc, rest assured I did not suspect such a thing. Your heart is pure though, and that will see you through. |

| 3171 NOOO! Such a vile act will not go unpunished! Minsc will see this paladin's heart avenged! And Boo shall burrow through your black little souls! |
| 3172 Mazzy! You walk with the living once more! Minsc was so scar... uh... well... Boo! Boo was so scared you were lost to us, but miracles have brought you back! |

| 3184 I was on my dajemma, a journey to prove my manhood! Oh, we were a pair, me and my witch! I was to watch over Dynaheir and bring her home in... in safety. |
| 3185 Oh, don't cry. You and Boo have fought bravely! Who could count the foes you've vanquished?! Dynaheir would be proud of you... |
| 3186 You have been good friends, you and <CHARNAME>... Minsc would ask something! Will you be my witch, Aerie? Boo and I are nothing without a witch... |
| 3187 If you will be my guardian, Minsc, I shall be your witch. Your dajemma has not been for nothing, and Dynaheir's death shall not go unavenged. |
| 3188 My sword, my soul, my hamster... all of these I pledge to... to Aerie, my witch... HEAR THAT, EVIL?! MINSC HAS A NEW WITCH! WOE IS YOU! |
| 3189 Oh! You and Boo did all you could, Minsc... Oh, cheer up, you twoâ€â€I'm back, aren't I? |
| 3190 You are okay, Aerie? ... Boo tried his best to save you. |
| 3191 Wine, everyone! Song! The witch lives! |
| 3192 Adjatha the Drinker +2 |
| 3193 Ras, The Dancing Blade +2 |
| 3194 Boo wishes you well, young Mazzy. Minsc does too. May evil fear your bootfall wherever you tread. |
| 3195 Blade of Roses +3 |
| 3196 All will fall before the might of Minsc and Boo! Evil all about! All will... FAAARRRRGHHH! |
| 3197 Is there a moon in Sigil? |
| 3198 A moon? Why, no, there never was. Just a city that stretched in all directions, curling in upon itself to sometimes block the sky. The moon is better, don't you think, my dove? |
| 3199 Minsc! Stand down and calm yourself! |
| 3200 I will fight! Minsc fights and evil falls! |
| 3201 And you have fought well and true as a warrior should, but the battle is won! Minsc, let the fury pass. |
| 3202 I will... I... Keldorn? |
| 3203 Well fought, Minsc. Your righteous fury is a sight to see, but do not let it consume you. |
| 3204 Peridan +2 |
| 3205 RRRAAAAGH! KILL, SAYS BOO! KILL, DOES MINSC! |
| 3206 Let it pass, Minsc! The fight is won, and we have survived. Do not let your rage defeat you! |
| 3207 Raaagh! Ra... Minsc... Minsc is... better now. Boo calms as we speak. Thank you, paladin. |
| 3208 The righteous must sometimes descend to the methods of the brutal, but do not let it destroy you from within. Fight when you must, but let it end when done. |
| 3209 Minsc is calm. Boo is calm. You are wise in your words and bear your weapon well. Would that you could hear Boo's praise, for my own words do not suffice. |
| 3210 I have been to too many cities and... and every one of them the same. The moon is better because it's always changing. |
| 3211 Ha ha! Well, Sigil is like no city you have ever seen, but, truth be told, I would trade it in a second for your smile. |
| 3212 Who wants a piece of Minsc? Who?! Evil will die here! Enemies everywhere! |
| 3213 Calm your fury, Minsc! The battle is over! Let your friends tend to you! |
| 3214 Friends... my friends... |
| 3215 You don't have to trade a city for it... I want to smile andâ€â€and you make it so easy, Haer'Dalis. |
| 3216 There now, with enemies gone it is time for reflection. Those of evil intent will fear you when the time comes; no need to posture for those that already know. |
| 3217 Minsc calms... you are right... Thank you, Keldorn. You are... an inspiration to me. |
| 3218 I am glad, my dove, but if you won't let me trade Sigil, then I would even trade the moon and all its changes! Come, the night is still young and our spirits still free to fly. |
| 3219 Lead by example, for the individual knows what is right and true. |
| 3220 Please, it is so dark... and late... and I am so tired. Is there no chance that we might stop and rest for a while? |
| 3221 You bear the wounds of battle well, Keldorn. A warrior of your ability would be well respected in my home of Rashemen. |
| 3222 Carsomyr +5 |
| 3223 The best example is of good remaining strong in the defeat of evil. I will give my wounds no acknowledgment. |
| 3224 Deagan |
| 3225 This, Boo, this is a hero of legend! Minsc is honored to fight at your side, Keldorn! |
| 3226 It's just a little dark, Aerie... there's nothing to be afraid of. |
| 3227 Aye, in a while yet. There is still some work here that we must finish. |
| 3228 Certainly. We shall set up camp right here. |
| 3229 Nonsense, Aerie. I won't have your foolishness slow us down. |
| 3230 Iâ€â€I'm not scared... I'm only tired, and maybe a little unused to traveling so late at night. N-never mind... I'll be fine... |
| 3231 All right, but don't take long... You may think me silly, but I... I am just unused to traveling so late at night... |
| 3232 Thank you... I... I'll try not to be such a bother. I'm just... unused to traveling in such darkness... |
| 3233 Iâ€â€I'm sorry, I just have a... a bad feeling... |
| 3234 Do not take honor in fighting with my presence. Take honor in that you fight for good, for that is my source of strength. |
| 3235 Yet more scars that show Minsc's prowess in battle! All great warriors wear such marks. Keldorn, you must have a great many scars that are your medals of combat! Do you wear them proudly, as Minsc does? |
| 3236 My battles won unscathed are my greatest pride. When I have served the cause of righteousness without a mark to prove my deeds, I know I am acting for the greater good... and not just my own foolish ego. |
| 3237 I did not think of it that way, though scars are my proof that I will fight evil to the last. It places fear in the hearts of the enemy. |
| 3238 Evil mustn't know where opposition can come from, only that it will. If a villain doubts my intent, then he is at a disadvantage when I take up arms against him. |
| 3239 I can respect that, though I would rather my enemies know I am coming and that there is little they can do. |
| 3240 No! For such a warrior to fall here is an abomination! And I do not even know the word! All will feel my boot to head for this! |
| 3241 Oh, your legacy did not die! You are with us again! Oh, Boo is positively vibrating with happiness! Minsc will not let such evil claim you again! |
| 3242 There is no sorrow if I fall in battle. I am glad to be alive, but if my sacrifice inspires others, then it is worth my passing. I have no doubt that your rage over a lost friend inspires you onward, does it not? |
| 3243 I do not like to think of those I have lost as gone. I may not speak of them much, but they are in each swing of my sword as I avenge them! |
| 3244 As it should be. If I can contribute to that, then all is not lost when I am. |
| 3245 you |
| 3246 Flame of the North +2 |
| 3247 Ah! Minsc... *pant* Minsc breathes! Boo! Where is Boo? Oh, there you are. You did not leave me. A miracle is this! |
| 3248 If you're going to whine, do it somewhere else. |
| 3249 That it is, Minsc. Do not waste it, for life anew is not a right, but a privilege granted. I need not tell you to rededicate your life to fighting the good fight. I imagine there is little else you would choose to do. |
| 3250 Two-handed Sword +2 |
| 3251 Oh... itâ€â€it's so hard to describe. It's the ultimate freedom, to soar above the clouds and become part of the wind itself. |
| 3252 And Boo would have it no other way! Minsc lives. Beware evil! |
| 3253 Cernd, you are akin to nature as I am. Why did you not take up the blade to fight? I do not think I would have the patience you do in battle. |
| 3254 Mimic's Blood |
| 3255 I remember I used to be so happy. The clouds are a special place up there, <CHARNAME>... it's like a land of billowing white beauty that you can almost walk upon. |
| 3256 Harbinger +3 |
| 3257 But I suppose that place is forever denied to me now. It... it just feels so slow and mundane to walk everywhere. I don't know how you can stand it. |
| 3258 You get used to it... there's plenty of beauty on the ground as well. |
| 3259 Soul Reaver +4 |
| 3260 It's no hardship. |
| 3261 Well, I would start getting used to it if I were you. |
| 3262 Oh, y-yes, I know... I meant no offense to you. I just remember what it was like... to effortlessly soar through the clouds like the birds overhead. To be truly free. |
| 3263 The great oak might crush a building when it falls, but the sapling that seeps its roots through the foundation will stop the building in the first, lest the cellars leak and fungoids take the builders. |
| 3264 Confused looks from all sides, but Minsc understands! |
| 3265 Warblade +4 |
| 3266 Iâ€â€I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>... I didn't mean to bother you. I'll talk to somebody else instead. |
| 3267 Flowers are beautiful, aren't they, Boo? I wish there were more to see. |
| 3268 Is there? All I can think of is how majestic something might look from up high. I'm sorry... you would think by now I would know better than to dwell upon it. Excuse me. |
| 3269 I see you have an appreciation for the small things, Minsc. You see the power in their simple nature. |
| 3270 I don't understand much that is complicated, but the trees and the flowers are music to my eyes. Boo prefers the calm of the forest, though he suffers my company. |
| 3271 Maybe not for you, but for me it is very different. I was born to fly. But I should not dwell on it so... you would think after all this time I had learned better. Excuse me, please... |
| 3272 I... I have been trying for many years to get used to it, <CHARNAME>. It is not an easy thing, for one born to the skies. But... but you are right, of course. Excuse me. |
| 3273 Have you... have you ever heard of my people? The avariel? |
| 3274 Ahh, you are his tree amidst the cities and people, and despite your bending and bowing in the wind, you are his stability, as I suspect he is yours. |
| 3275 The winged elves? Very little. I thought they were all gone. |
| 3276 I really don't have time to discuss that right now, Aerie. |
| 3277 Most of us were, according to what I remember my mother telling me. Killed by the dragons before the First Flowering. But some of us still survive in isolated places. |
| 3278 My own people live high in the mountains to the far south, in a place called Faenya-Dail, separated from contact with others. It is... was... a grand and majestic place. |
| 3279 My memory is dim, but whenever the thought of it crosses my mind, my eyes still blur with tears. |
| 3280 Tell me more about your people, Aerie. |
| 3281 Well, we should really get moving on. |
| 3282 Must you always be so melodramatic? It makes me ill. |
| 3283 No, he is my hamster. You talk in circles, Cernd, but that's okay. Boo runs in them. |
| 3284 Oh... of course, <CHARNAME>. I didn't mean to bother you. |
| 3285 Our... our homes were open places of marble pillars and vistas from which you could watch the entire mountain range below. There was no place you could not spread your wings... |
| 3286 We cherished the wind and the rains... we breathed in life, <CHARNAME>, and lived in peace with each other. |
| 3287 Shazzellim +1 |
| 3288 There were distinct societies among us, as I remember. There were... great aerial warriors who defended us, possessing glass weapons that radiated in the sunlight... |
| 3289 And my own class pursued art and knowledge, building the great buildings and filling them with glorious wonders. It... it was... |
| 3290 ...I am sorry, <CHARNAME>, I can speak of it no longer. I think of my lost home, and I am reminded of my poor uncle Quayle. It... it simply wrenches my heart... |
| 3291 ...I am sorry, <CHARNAME>, I can speak of it no longer. I am suddenly homesick, as silly as that seems. I miss... so much, it makes me ache. I suppose I must seem very foolish to you. |
| 3292 I... I must seem very foolish to you, I suppose. I will not bother you again, <CHARNAME>. |
| 3293 I... Everyone here seems so unhappy and severe... Iâ€â€I am so unused to living this way. In the circus, we always were cheerful. Or, at least, Uncle Quayle was determined to be. |
| 3294 He used to say that a frown would never get anything useful done. I think everyone could use some cheering up... What about you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 3295 *giggle* A chicken? Now, that would be a neat trick! I'll have to work on that, you silly man! Ha ha ha! |
| 3296 Quayle has called for Aerie After receiving a message from Quayle asking for our help, Aerie has asked that we go and see him in the promenade circus tent as soon as possible. |
| 3297 *sigh* I suppose that's true. It's too bad... Quayle used to go out of his way to make sure I laughed. Even in the worst of times. But I suppose it can't be helped. |
| 3298 You are not as serious as many druids I have met, Cernd. Some even disapprove of me because I am... I am... I'd... hmm... I don't really know why. Boo will not tell me either. |
| 3299 Oh. I... I suppose it is... rather silly, after all. Quayle was, still, a... a wonderful man. But... I suppose you are not interested... |
| 3300 Yes, I suppose your... recent life would leave little to laugh about. One day... one day this will all be over for you, <CHARNAME>. And then maybe we can *all* laugh. |
| 3301 A friend of Quayle's needs help With Quayle dead, Aerie received a letter that was intended for him, apparently from an old friend of his named Raelis who was in need of help. Aerie has asked that we at least go and talk to this woman, who is in a playhouse beneath the Five Flagons Inn in the Bridge District. |
| 3302 Chain Contingencyâ€â€Spell Turning |
| 3303 A friend of Quayle's needs help An old friend of Quayle's named Raelis Shai has asked him for help, and he seems to believe that we may be in a better position to aid her than he. He has requested that we go and speak to the woman when we have time. Raelis can be found in the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons Inn in the Bridge District. |
| 3304 Korgan offered another job Korgan mentioned that his adventuring party had been offered employment before their... unfortunate... split-up occurred. He asked that we go and see the man who made the offer, Madeen, as he has a reputation to uphold. Madeen can be found in front of the council building in the Government District. |

| 3313 I... I have been looking at the scars... on my back. The stumps that were... that were once my wings. They do not... they do not make me truly homely, do they? Am I... am I ugly to you? |
| 3314 The great wind that shakes the tree causes many that dwell there to fear for their safety and curse the bluster. The same wind will cause many a nut to fall, and in this the forest is renewed, providing even more space for those that fear. |

| 3316 Of course you're not ugly, Aerie. Far from it. |
| 3317 You could just say you don't know. Boo makes more sense, and he does not have thumbs. |
| 3318 It would take far more than a couple of scars to hide all the other beauty you possess, Aerie. |
| 3319 I have no time for such foolish vanity. Leave me be. |

| 3321 R-really? You are... very kind to say so, <CHARNAME>. I... I suppose I am too proud, that I miss my white wings so. |
| 3322 Cutthroat +4 |
| 3323 When I was first enslaved, I was kept in a small cage and put on display. I had no room to stand, much less stretch my wings. I... I tried to warn my captor. I pleaded to him... |
| 3324 ...but my wings withered and became bloody and diseased. Until, finally, he was forced to... to... saw them off. It was... it was so painful and horrid! |
| 3325 I've felt like a great part of me has been missing ever since. I am incomplete. I... do not feel beautiful, <CHARNAME>. Not anymore. |
| 3326 Ilbratha +1 |
| 3327 Vanity? I... I suppose it is. That and my silly pride. I... I'll not bother you with such nonsense again, <CHARNAME>. |
| 3328 Don't be so hard on yourself, Aerie... Like I said, you're still a beautiful elf. |
| 3329 You placed too much of yourself in your wings, Aerie. You have to look at the rest of yourself and find beauty in that, too. |
| 3330 *sigh* If you're going to whine over every little thing, then just do it quietly, all right? |
| 3331 You... you make me blush with such comments. It makes me wonder if you are sincere, <CHARNAME>... but I thank you nonetheless. |
| 3332 It is... very hard for me. But I shall try to think as you say... and I thank you for your kind words. |
| 3333 Y-yes, <CHARNAME>. Iâ€â€I'm sorry to be such a bother... |
| 3334 Upon stepping through the tent door, the world seems to shift. When it settles, you find yourself standing at one end of a bizarre walkway as the wind blows over you. A massive tower rises on the other side of the bridge. The tent door is nowhere to be found. You shall have to go forward. |
| 3335 Have I told you of how I was captured and enslaved, initially? |
| 3336 No, you haven't. |
| 3337 No... but I have no time to hear the story now. |
| 3338 It was... my fault, really. I was away from Faenya-Dail, flying just for the glory of it. I... spotted a large group of armed men assaulting some humans on the ground below. |
| 3339 They were slavers, although I didn't know that at the time. When I saw a human child crying and desperately trying to run away from them, my heart clenched with concern. |
| 3340 I was distraught. My mother had always warned me to be wary of outsiders... but I did not heed her warnings this time. I flew down to aid the child, swooping to carry him away. |
| 3341 The child was surprised and frightened, and his struggles slowed me... enough so that a slaver struck me with an arrow. I plummeted to the ground and was knocked unconscious. |
| 3342 When I awoke... I was in my cage. I was the prize of the slavers... to be sold to the highest bidder. They were pleased to sell me to the circus for a great amount of gold... |
| 3343 I... I suppose... I suppose I was glad to learn that the child escaped, after all. He ran away after my fall. Hopefully, he survived... |
| 3344 What else could you have done? It's not your fault it turned out as it did, Aerie. |
| 3345 That was noble of you, if foolish. |
| 3346 You were an idiot to take such a risk for a child. I suppose you paid for it, however. |
| 3347 Yes... I suppose now is not the time for talk. Forgive me. |
| 3348 It is, though... it was foolish of me to disregard my teachings. And I have paid for it dearly. I was bereft of my home... and then my wings, <CHARNAME>. |
| 3349 To be bereft of Quayle as well is almost more than I can bear. I think, sometimes, that the gods punish me for my pride. Even Baervan, my deity, gives me little comfort. |

Luckily, Yoshimo has apparently had previous dealings of some sort with the pirate. I am to be admitted forthwith, and then I shall find out what has happened to Imoen and Irenicus both! |
| 3362 Getting inside the asylum A moment of hesitation and all is lost. I was able to enter the asylum through Desharik, but I just didn't like the sound of it. Actually, it was looking pretty rough for a while, but then Yoshimo piped up and everything smoothed out. A little too smooth, I think. Desharik was likely setting us up for an ambush. Can't trust a pirate. I will have to find another way within. |

| 3382 Please be nicer. You don't want me to pick up any bad habits, do you? |
| 3383 I don't think you're the type of people I should be hanging around with! Goodbye! |

| 3445 It is hardly worth the effort of trying. |
| 3446 We delude ourselves to think our pitiable band will stand up to our enemies. |
| 3447 Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. |
| 3448 I'll do what I can, but expect very little. |
| 3449 Eldoth, could you stand away from me? The stench is somewhat unnerving. |
| 3450 Perhaps, Eldoth, you could be a little more polite to our companions. |
| 3451 You could do us all a favor, Eldoth, by getting killed in the next battle. |
| 3452 Have you ever wondered how hollow your convictions sound, Ajantis? |
| 3453 It seems our resident suicide monger, Ajantis, lives in a black and white world. |
| 3454 If I'd wanted your opinion, I would have asked for it. |
| 3455 I hope what you say was well intentioned. |
| 3456 Do not think I will endure your insults indefinitely. |
| 3457 This passage leads below to a small cellar of no interest. |

| 3459 Your stupidity makes you a doomed man. |
| 3460 With you as my companion, who needs enemies? |
| 3461 Around you I almost feel that we have a chance. |
| 3462 Another victim in our hopeless crusade. |
| 3463 I would grieve for Eldoth if it were not for the sense of joy I now feel. |
| 3464 Hail! It is not often that I come across strangers in this part of the world. |
| 3465 Retreat, you fools. We have no hope to win. |
| 3466 That was a noble deed. |
| 3467 I don't agree with our party's course of action. |
| 3468 I won't stand for such behavior again. |
| 3469 I cannot allow this to go on. Defend yourselves. |
| 3470 I will lead for as long as I am needed. |
| 3471 I will lead for as long as I am needed. |
| 3472 Oh please, we have tarried long enough. |
| 3473 I don't know how much longer I can go on. |
| 3474 The city is an example of man's excesses. I wish we would be gone from this miserable place. |
| 3475 Why must we emulate the ways of the dwarven folk by crawling about these warrens? |
| 3476 Yes? |
| 3477 What do you want? |
| 3478 Don't bother me. |
| 3479 As you wish. |
| 3480 Aye. |
| 3481 There is a time for talk. This is not such a time. |
| 3482 My soul aches for my lost Deheriana. |
| 3483 Hear ye! Hear ye! |
| 3484 We must not waste time on idle chatter. |
| 3485 Gaius |
| 3486 My need for revenge gives me strength to go on. |
| 3487 Blessed Bolt |
| 3488 Stay away from me, dark elf. |
| 3489 How are we to trust one who venerates the Spider Queen? |
| 3490 Your evil ways will bring your ruin, dark elf. |
| 3491 This is a crossbow bolt that has been permanently enchanted with the spell Bless. The enchantment will remain until it is fired out of a crossbow, at which time the magic will fade.

| 3492 Don't make me warn you again, drow. Your next slip will be your last. |
| 3493 You dark-hearted bitch, you'll die for that. |
| 3494 Watch what you say. |
| 3495 Shut your mouth! |
| 3496 Your candor is appreciated. |
| 3497 You are a valuable companion. |
| 3498 Your courage shames the others. |
| 3499 Shut up, your chattering might drive us all insane. |
| 3500 One more friend to mourn. |
| 3501 May Viconia's soul rot in hell. |
| 3502 Halt, be you friend or foe? |
| 3503 What cowardice is this?! Return to where you are needed. |
| 3504 For the glory of Helm! |
| 3505 We follow the righteous path, the path of Helm. |
| 3506 This course we take is beyond all tenets of decency. |
| 3507 I will not stand by while this party descends into depravity. |
| 3508 Your evil ways end here. Draw steel and we will settle this dispute once and for all. |
| 3509 I take honor with this responsibility you have bestowed. |
| 3510 I grow weary. |
| 3511 We have much evil to fight; we have no time for idleness. |
| 3512 I am in need of aid. |
| 3513 This forest has a sense of evil about it. |
| 3514 This city has a sense of evil about it. |
| 3515 This dungeon has a sense of evil about it. |
| 3516 My honor is my life. |
| 3517 Helm, give me strength. |
| 3518 By Helm! |
| 3519 As you will. |
| 3520 Are you sure you wish to overwrite this exported character? |
| 3521 With Helm's blessing. |
| 3522 Yea. |
| 3523 We must always strive to be role models to the meek. |
| 3524 The sightless shall rise again! Aaagh! |
| 3525 Duty to one's cause outweighs all. |
| 3526 Evil will always fail against courage and honor. |
| 3527 Evil must be purged without mercy. |
| 3528 Your actions fly in the face of everything Helm holds sacred. |
| 3529 There is naught but good and evil. I suspect you are of the latter. |
| 3530 Evil must be purged wherever it is found, even among companions. |
| 3531 The stench of evil clings to you in the most vile manner. |
| 3532 I can bear no more. Raise your weapon and defend yourself. |
| 3533 I may yet still be a squire, but I possess more integrity than you could ever hope for. |
| 3534 You will watch your mouth around the fairer sex. |
| 3535 I thank you for your compliment. |
| 3536 You are a most beautiful lady, miss. |
| 3537 You are a man of honor. I respect your integrity. |
| 3538 I think it would be wise for you to improve your conduct while in this party. |
| 3539 We can only be content that our companion has fallen while pursuing a just cause. |
| 3540 It is unfortunate that our companion died before he could recant his ways. |
| 3541 Greetings. I am Kagain. What can I do for you? |
| 3542 This isn't worth dying over. |
| 3543 For the love o' money. |
| 3544 You buncha chumps! What the hell do ya think you was doing. |
| 3545 Do gooders always make me wanna vomit. |
| 3546 That's it, this dwarf is leaving. |
| 3547 As leader, I plan to make us stinking rich. |
| 3548 Even a dwarf's got a limit to his stamina. |
| 3549 Waiting around ain't gonna make us any money. |
| 3550 This dwarf's not feeling too good. |
| 3551 Damn forest, always reminds me of pansy elves. |
| 3552 I like it here, where the gold grows. |
| 3553 I don't wanna talk. |
| 3554 Go pester someone else. |
| 3555 I need an ale. |
| 3556 *buuurp* Sure. |
| 3557 All right. |
| 3558 Why me? |
| 3559 The only thing better than gold... is more gold. |
| 3560 You pugs are starting to piss me off. |
| 3561 Gold runs the world, kid. Faster ya learn that, the better life will treat ya. |
| 3562 If I had a copper for every moron I've run across, I could buy Baldur's Gate. |
| 3563 You're the stupidest dwarf I've ever met! You're an embarrassment to dwarves everywhere! |
| 3564 Yeslick, your stupid mine is what started all this trouble. |
| 3565 Yeslick, shut your lousy mouth and git outta my face. |
| 3566 You're an imbecile Yeslick. If you piss me off one more time, I'm going to rip yer head off. |
| 3567 Ya lousy excuse for a dwarf, I'm gonna rip you a new arse. |
| 3568 You should shaddup. |
| 3569 Keep on talking that way and I'm gonna stuff yer mouth full o' horse dung. |
| 3570 Shaddup and show me the money. |
| 3571 Are you some kind of a moron? What do ya think you was doing?! |
| 3572 Altruistic moron! |
| 3573 Ya dolt, shut yer trap before it gets you into trouble. |
| 3574 Better them than me. |
| 3575 Stupid dwarf was going to die sooner or later. |
| 3576 Hold travelers, I challenge your best warrior to a duel. |
| 3577 Discretion is the better part of valor. |
| 3578 Eat steel, scum. |
| 3579 It seems that this party isn't as pathetic as I first suspected. |
| 3580 This is the kind of stupidity we get with male leadership. |
| 3581 I can't take much more of this male imbecility. |
| 3582 Forget our deal, I'm leaving. |
| 3583 I'll lead this party better than any man could. |
| 3584 Some rest is in order. |
| 3585 This is such a waste of time, or should I say men are such a waste of time. |
| 3586 There is nothing to calm my anger now... my business is ruined. My failure ends with my death. |
| 3587 CTRL- |
| 3588 I don't have time to bleed. |
| 3589 Men are pathetic. |
| 3590 If it bleeds, I can kill it. |
| 3591 I love bloodshed. |
| 3592 Okay. |
| 3593 Really? |
| 3594 I'll do it. |
| 3595 Life is made fun by crushing your enemies. |
| 3596 Sometimes the smell of a man makes me sick to my stomach. |
| 3597 Steel is the only thing that a woman can depend upon. |
| 3598 Men never think with their minds. |
| 3599 Say another word, Eldoth, and I'll cut out your tongue. |
| 3600 Your impudence will one day get you killed, Eldoth. |
| 3601 Eldoth, you're an impotent, degenerate lout who has delusions of male superiority. |
| 3602 Watch your mouth, Eldoth, or I'll end your life where you stand. |
| 3603 You were warned, Eldoth! Now reap the consequences. |
| 3604 Flattery will get you nowhere. |
| 3605 You're such a funny man! That's why I'm gonna kill you last. |
| 3606 How would you like my sword tickling your innards? |
| 3607 Useless male dung heap. |
| 3608 I spit on your manhood. |
| 3609 Don't think yourself second to any man. |
| 3610 More carrion for the vultures. |
| 3611 The swine had it coming. |
| 3612 Help me! If you don't help me, they'll kill me. |
| 3613 We must flee to fight another day! |
| 3614 Lil alurl! For Shar! |
| 3615 I find this a most satisfactory arrangement. |
| 3616 Surface-dwellers can be so stupid. |
| 3617 I am beginning to tire of spending my time with fools. |
| 3618 I have no desire to remain in the company of the witless. |
| 3619 I see you have learned much in your short lifespan. |
| 3620 How long do you intend to crack your whip on my back?! I say we stop now. |
| 3621 The drow are never this idle with their time. |
| 3622 No... it cannot end like this... I shall not allow it! |
| 3623 I am still unused to all this green and fragrant brightness... part of me yet looks for the hidden spider's web amongst all this. |
| 3624 Ahhh, this light... still it burns me! |
| 3625 There is no roof to this world. I feel as if I shall fall into this sky of yours sometimes. |
| 3626 Jal Khaless? |
| 3627 Yes, abbil? |
| 3628 Usstan zhah dosst. |
| 3629 Player 1 is the winner. Now you die. |
| 3630 Trust is for the foolish... and the dead. |
| 3631 I shall follow your strength. |
| 3632 Destiny awaits! |
| 3633 Nau natha. |
| 3634 A'dos quarth! |
| 3635 As you desire. |
| 3636 If that is your will. |
| 3637 Greetings, darthiir, I know that you look upon me as an enemy, but perhaps we could ignore our differences. |
| 3638 Iblith! If that is how you want things, then so be it. |
| 3639 I worship Lolth no longer. |
| 3640 Don't threaten me, Kivan. It shall only lead to your death. |
| 3641 If you wish to die, I am pleased to assist. |
| 3642 I will not accept such arrogance from a male. On your knees. |
| 3643 I am... flattered, thank you. |
| 3645 Never again speak to me in such a manner. |
| 3646 You are one of the few among us whom I can respect. |
| 3647 In the Underdark, you would be fodder for the kuo-toa. |
| 3648 Male, fetch me something to eat. |
| 3649 Death is not something to mourn. |
| 3650 It is sad that Kivan and I never understood each other. |
| 3651 Hello there. I have a pretty proposal for you. |
| 3652 Brave, brave Sir Garrick, Sir Garrick led the way. Brave, brave Sir Garrick, Sir Garrick ran away! |
| 3653 Once more unto the breach, dear friends. |
| 3654 The hunt for Valygar is over I have hunted down the ranger, Valygar Corthala, and returned his body to the Cowled Wizard, Tolgerias, in return for a reward and some information. |
| 3655 If man is known by the company he keeps, I shall be thought of gloriously. |
| 3656 Why did we just do that? |
| 3657 I can't stand by and just let this happen. |
| 3659 I'm sorry, but I have to leave. I can't stomach what we do any more. |
| 3661 Player 2 is the winner. Now you die. |
| 3662 I feel a little unprepared for this job, but I'll try my best. |
| 3663 A yawn is a silent shout. |
| 3664 A bored man is an angry man. |
| 3665 My goodness, I think I'm dying. |
| 3667 I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree. |
| 3668 'Tis a beautiful day in the neighborhood. |
| 3669 Yes, sir? |
| 3670 I am at your service. |
| 3671 Life is glorious. |
| 3672 At once. |
| 3673 With god speed. |
| 3674 With joy, sir. |
| 3675 Give and spend, and the gods will send. |
| 3676 Make short the miles with talk and smiles. |
| 3678 Love makes the world go round. |
| 3679 Music has charms to soothe the savage breast. |
| 3680 The prophecy of Sekolah The rebel leader has been killed and his heart given to the king of the sahuagin, who was quite pleased. He brought me to the entrance to the Underdark, which he says is my only way home, and rewarded me for the heart. The prince's priestess, Sallinithyl, appeared after he left, angrily telling me that I have doomed the sahuagin to a slow death by killing the prince... obviously I was not the chosen of Sekolah after all. Too bad for the sahuagin. |
| 3681 Perhaps you'd care to hear my music, Skie. It's very different and somewhat better than Eldoth's. |
| 3682 Why do you stay with Eldoth, Skie? Can't you see he's just using you? |
| 3683 Don't speak to Skie that way, Eldoth. She deserves better. |
| 3684 Player 3 is the winner. Now you die. |
| 3685 A girl of beauty is a joy forever. |
| 3686 Thank you so very much for your most gracious compliment. |
| 3687 I don't know what I did to deserve that. |
| 3688 It takes two to make a quarrel. |
| 3689 I think you're an honorable person. |
| 3690 I don't remember knowing a more caring person. |
| 3691 Player 4 is the winner. Now you die. |
| 3692 I think you need to learn some manners. |
| 3694 The world is such a cruel place. |
| 3695 Nooo. Why her? She didn't deserve this! |
| 3696 I've been looking for... strong men like yourselves. |
| 3697 Nothing's worth dying for. |
| 3699 Mmmmm. I keep very pleasant company. |
| 3700 I really think this party needs new leadership. |
| 3701 To lead this party, we need someone intelligent, preferably female, and most likely me. |
| 3702 I've tried to guide this group in the right direction, but I'm tired of trying. Goodbye. |
| 3703 This is probably the sanest decision this group has ever made. |
| 3704 A woman needs her beauty rest. |
| 3705 Perhaps we could do something a little more exciting than looking pretty. |
| 3706 I'm hurt. S-stop what you're doing and help me now. |
| 3707 The city is a beautiful place, so full of the gullible and stupid. |
| 3708 Yes, dear? |
| 3709 I'll do anything. |
| 3710 I feel so sensual. |
| 3711 If that's your desire. |
| 3712 With pleasure. |
| 3714 Of course, darling. |
| 3715 Between two evils, I always choose the one I haven't tried. |
| 3716 The final battle with Bodhi Bodhi appeared in an ambush shortly before I reached her haven, warning me that she was aware of my pursuit and stealing from me the one person that is dearest to my heart: Viconia. Before she vanished and unleashed more of her undead creations upon me, Bodhi warned me that if I continue, I will lose even more than I thought possible. I cannot give up on the Rhynn Lanthorn... but now the life and immortal soul of the one I love is at stake as well! |
| 3717 I love it when you speak to me that way. |
| 3718 When I'm good, I'm very, very good... but when I'm bad, I'm better. |
| 3719 Everyone in this party is entitled to my opinion. |
| 3721 I assume, Coran, that you think your elven charms are considerable. Let me enlighten you: They aren't. |
| 3722 Player 5 is the winner. Now you die. |
| 3723 You have about as much appeal as a rutting owlbear. |
| 3724 You think I'd surrender myself to the likes of you? That's a laugh. |
| 3726 Watch what you say, elf. |
| 3727 I might find you attractive, Coran, if you weren't so irritating. |
| 3728 I like it when you're nasty to me. |
| 3729 You could be somewhat more creative in your insults. |
| 3730 I always love a good compliment. |
| 3731 You're a very sexy man. |
| 3732 I'd love to see what other skills you possess. |
| 3733 Player 6 is the winner. Now you die. |
| 3734 My feet are very soreâ€â€perhaps you could massage them. |
| 3735 The rest of you should be careful lest you end up like our unfortunate friend. |
| 3736 Don't die, silly elf, I didn't mean all of the things I've said. |
| 3737 I am Faldorn. I have been looking for those who would fight for the sanctity of this forest. |
| 3738 I will not waste my life here. |
| 3739 We have pleased Oak Father, I sense it. |
| 3740 Sahuagin Scribe's Notes |
| 3741 Oak Father would frown on us now. |
| 3742 I cannot stand by people of such little character. |
| 3743 I will have nothing more to do with your lot. |
| 3744 I will do as best I can as your leader. |
| 3745 All of nature's children must rest sometime. |
| 3746 There is much to do, and little time to waste. |
| 3747 I am wounded. |
| 3748 The sanctity of these woods must be preserved. |
| 3749 Cities are a blight upon the beauty of nature. |
| 3750 Nature is all. |
| 3751 I am one with nature. |
| 3752 You want something? |
| 3753 I will do that. |
| 3754 Of course. |
| 3755 *grunt* |
| 3756 Why must man always despoil the Oak Father's gifts? |
| 3757 Man is the least grateful of nature's children. |
| 3758 Oak Father, please forgive your wayward brood. |
| 3759 I am angry, don't talk to me now. |
| 3760 You are a fool, Jaheira, to think that man can live with nature and not destroy it. |
| 3761 You dilute our order with your compassionate attitude. |
| 3762 One day, woman, you and I will settle our differences. |
| 3763 Jaheira, your choice of a mate suits your weakling nature. |
| 3764 Sahuagin Scribe's Notes |
| 3765 It's time that I rid our fellowship of your unwholesome influence. |
| 3766 I don't know why you speak to me so. |
| 3767 I have no quarrel with you. Pleaseâ€â€don't create one. |
| 3768 I thank you. |
| 3769 This scroll seems to be a collection of stories about great wars of the sahuagin. They mention planned offensives against land-dwellers all along the Sword Coast as well as tales of past offensives. The sahuagin appear to be a particularly warlike race, constantly planning full-fledged invasions of the shores but rarely following through due to incessant infighting. The events that you have seen in this particular settlement would seem to bear that out. An interesting insight into sahuagin culture. |
| 3770 You have more wisdom than the others give you credit for. |
| 3771 I am glad to adventure with one who respects our Oak Father's kingdom. |

| 3779 I am glad to be associated with such a fine group of gentlemen. |
| 3780 This party's direction seems to be somewhat misguided. |
| 3781 I don't know how much longer I can bear the company of so many fools. |
| 3782 Goodbye now, hope to never see you again. |
| 3783 I take this responsibility knowing I am best suited for it. |
| 3784 I think it would be well to stop and rest. |
| 3785 If I wanted to live a life of tedium, I would have become a monk. |
| 3786 Help, my injuries are grievous. |
| 3787 You're so dull. |
| 3788 What's your worry? |
| 3789 Don't bore me. |
| 3790 As you command. |
| 3791 Certainly. |
| 3792 This is so tedious. |
| 3793 There is no evil but stupidity. |
| 3794 There is no good or evil, only the charming and the tedious. |
| 3795 Only shallow people don't judge by appearance. |
| 3796 The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. |

| 3811 Skie, don't bother me right now. |
| 3812 Be silent, Skie! It's not like your opinion is worth anything. |
| 3813 Shar-Teel, your lot in life is to bake cookies and bear children. Now shut up. |
| 3814 Stop your whining, wench. |
| 3815 Your wit is somewhat lacking. |
| 3816 I knew that. |
| 3817 Don't try my patience. |
| 3818 Perhaps we could talk over wine tonight. I've never met a lady such as you and am desirous to know you better. |
| 3819 Try to keep quiet and speak only when spoken to. |
| 3820 You must be the most uninteresting person I have had the honor of knowing. |
| 3821 Too bad. |
| 3822 The wench had it coming. |
| 3823 Ho! Travelers, hold a moment. |
| 3824 This adventure has gotten out of hand. |
| 3825 I think we all deserve a pat on the back. |
| 3826 I cannot give my approval for what we've just done. |
| 3827 If our fellowship continues in this vein, I may have to leave. |
| 3828 I can't stay with this group any longer. I have to call it quits. |
| 3829 I think my new responsibility will be a great deal of fun. |
| 3830 Even the most prolific adventurer must take some time to rest. |
| 3831 My worst hate is reserved for sitting and doing nothing. |
| 3832 It's only a flesh wound. |
| 3833 Yes? |
| 3834 What is your bidding? |

| 3840 The essence of pleasure is spontaneity. |
| 3841 You can't live without a little adventure. |
| 3842 Luck is always on the side of the romantic. |
| 3843 Safana, you are full of such subtle wit and charm. |
| 3844 Sometimes, Safana, I find myself attracted to you, despite your shallow spiteful demeanor. |
| 3845 You've been dominating my thoughts recently, Safana. It's distracting my work. |
| 3846 If you weren't such a self serving wench, I... don't think I'd find you half as attractive. |
| 3847 Admit it, Safana! You sometimes find me to your liking. |
| 3848 You are rather uncouth today. |
| 3849 I don't appreciate your humor. |
| 3850 I accept your compliments. |
| 3851 A fine figure like yours shouldn't be risked in an occupation such as adventuring. |
| 3852 A more beautiful girl I don't think I've laid eyes on. |
| 3853 You have the most beautiful... er... eyes. |
| 3854 I grieve to lose a friend. |
| 3855 I wish we had more time to know each other, Safana. |
| 3856 By the ice breath of Auril! 'Tis good to see new faces and taste freedom again. |
| 3857 Tempus, forgive my cowardice. |
| 3858 Tempus! Give us victory! |
| 3859 I am proud to stand among such strong warriors. |
| 3860 Our actions are not those of warrior born. |
| 3861 What sort of craven cowards are we? |
| 3862 I can no longer honorably work with such as you. |
| 3863 I have always dreamt of leading such a worthy band. |
| 3864 I'm tired. |
| 3865 Damn the icicles of Auril. I'm BORED. |
| 3866 'Tis but a flesh wound. |
| 3867 By Tempus's shield! |
| 3868 What is your command? |
| 3869 Hello? |
| 3870 'Tis a fine day to die. |
| 3871 If Tempus wills it. |
| 3872 By Valkur's mighty blade. |
| 3873 'Tis better to die on your feet than live on your knees. |
| 3874 May Auril bestow the frost kiss upon our enemies. |
| 3875 By Valkur's strapping buttocks. |
| 3876 A god's favor is fickle, at best. |
| 3877 Shar-Teel seems to have more spine that a lot of the men in this party. |
| 3878 You are valiant of action, Shar-Teel. A pity your spirit is mismatched. |
| 3879 Stay well clear of me, you foul speakin' heretic! |
| 3880 Tempus would guide your wayward soul, if you let him. |
| 3881 May Tempus someday show you the error of your ways. |
| 3882 I do not take such insults lightly. |
| 3883 I thank you for your kind words. |
| 3884 Do not mock me! |
| 3885 You shame this party by your mere presence. |
| 3886 You are a strong warrior. I respect that. |
| 3887 In a war of virtues, thou art unarmed. |
| 3888 To die in battle is the most glorious death of all. |
| 3889 'Tis a shame to lose such an accomplished warrior. |
| 3890 Eldoth! I thought I'd never see you again. Who are you? What are you doing here? |
| 3891 Please, heeeeeelp me! |
| 3892 You're the finest group of friends I've ever had. |
| 3893 I don't think what we're doing is morally right. |
| 3894 All of you are such pigs. |
| 3895 Fireball-Lightning |
| 3896 I can't take this any more. I'm going back home! |
| 3897 I don't know if I can handle this leadership thing, but I'm going to try. |
| 3898 I'm getting tired. Couldn't we take a rest soon? |
| 3899 Summon Shambling Mound |
| 3900 I'm so bored. |
| 3901 Ahhhh, I'm hurt. Heeelllppp! |
| 3902 Can I help you? |
| 3903 I broke a nail. |
| 3904 I've mussed my hair. |
| 3905 My feet hurt. |
| 3906 I have a cold. |
| 3907 I have a headache. |
| 3908 Do you like my perfume? |
| 3909 It's been so long since I've had a hot meal. |
| 3910 Let's go shopping! |
| 3911 I want to go home. |
| 3912 Eldoth, why do you treat our companions so badly? |
| 3913 I love you, Eldoth. |
| 3914 Why do you always have to make fun of me?! I hate you! Get away from me! |
| 3915 Aim |
| 3916 I'd love to hear your music, Garrick. |
| 3917 Eldoth is a kind man. He cares about me, Garrick. |
| 3918 I'm sorry, did I do something wrong? |
| 3919 Eldoth, tell them to stop being so cruel. |
| 3920 Th-thank you, you're very kind. |
| 3921 You're a good friend. |
| 3922 I feel safe with you in the party. |
| 3923 I think you're a beautiful person. |
| 3924 *sniffle* I can't believe he's dead. |
| 3925 Holy Smite |
| 3926 What am I going to do? *sniffle* You can't die, Eldoth, you can't. |
| 3927 The final battle with Bodhi Bodhi has turned Anomen into a vampire! Or... or very nearly. The process may not have been completed in the short time Bodhi has had him. Hopefully, something can be done or I will have lost him. Perhaps the elven war sage might know some way of restoration... or Elhan... |
| 3928 Minsc continues to make the most... unique of acquaintances. To follow his charge, thou art brave indeed. |
| 3929 These odds are idiocy! Retreat! |
| 3930 For right! And I always am! |
| 3931 This group shows promise exceptional. |
| 3932 Must I watch over this group as a nanny the child?! |
| 3933 I cannot abide by this decision! 'Tis idiocy! |
| 3934 Thy manner is inexplicably evil! I take my leave! |
| 3935 A wise choice to appoint the wiser. |
| 3936 Magic does not nest well in a tired mind. I must sleep. |
| 3937 Might we move on? |
| 3938 By the Three, I do not feel well inside. |
| 3939 Such bustle! The cities of Rashemen are empty compared. |
| 3940 Thy called? |
| 3941 Whatever thy need. |
| 3942 Thy wish my ear? |
| 3943 As directed. |
| 3944 No less than done. |
| 3945 As well as I can. |
| 3946 Go here! Do that! What about MY needs? |
| 3947 These boots were made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. |
| 3948 Who art thou to touch me like you know me?! |
| 3949 Watch thee where thy place that pointer! |
| 3950 Must thou keep that rodent so close? 'Tis surely unclean. |
| 3951 Stand easy, Minsc! Thy needs not be so motherly. |
| 3952 Evil to thy cause? Perhaps. However, those of decent nature know otherwise. |
| 3953 Any protection would be courtesy, not necessity. My power is no less than thine! |
| 3954 Thou shalt not question my will once I present thy neck to the Orthlor! |
| 3955 I pray thee did not kiss thy mother with that mouth. |
| 3956 Thou art right indeed. After my own heart. |
| 3957 Thou art fluent in compliments. Some might say effluent. |
| 3958 I'll thank thee to remain downwind. 'Tis hard to cast spells while I gag. |
| 3959 I should keep an eye towards Edwin. One can only expect treachery from his kind. |
| 3960 Thy decency is refreshing when so many we meet are... lacking. |
| 3961 No more mistakes, people! We can afford no more losses! |
| 3962 Minsc! His mighty berserker wrath will not go unremembered. |
| 3963 Holy Smite (Necromancy) Level: 3 Sphere: Healing Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special This spell calls upon energy from the Positive Energy Plane in order to open a channel between it and the targets. The result is that any evil creatures within the spell's area of effect take 1d4 points of damage per level of the caster, or half damage upon a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell. If the victims fail their Saving Throw, they are also blinded for 1 round. |

| 3965 Go no further! I require the services of your group. (Yes, they will do nicely.) |
| 3966 I'll not die to incompetence! |
| 3967 Your worthless lives end here! |
| 3968 I had not thought this group capable of pleasing me, but I am impressed. |
| 3969 Could my opinion of this group drop ANY lower? Evidently so. |
| 3970 I warn you, I cannot abide this charity. It is not to my tastes at all. |
| 3971 No, I do not feel this is working out. You waste opportunity after opportunity. I will stand no more. |
| 3972 It is about time you monkeys realized who should be leader. |
| 3973 I require rest. I demand we stop. |
| 3974 Inactive outward, inactive inward. Why do I suffer these fools? |
| 3975 I could use some help here, fools. |
| 3976 Yes? |
| 3977 What is it now?! |
| 3978 Go bother someone else. |
| 3979 My actions are yours. |
| 3980 As directed, for now. |
| 3981 If I must. |
| 3982 I do not understand this "mouse magic" that makes me do your bidding! |
| 3983 Elven War Sage |
| 3984 Tedious monkey-work. |
| 3985 A waste of my talents. |
| 3986 Fine, fine, just stop pestering me. |
| 3987 This witch deceives you with her lies! I tell you she is evil! |
| 3988 There is no protection if you goad me further, witch! |
| 3989 Her power is nothing without the will to use it! Step from behind your excuses and let us end this here! |
| 3990 'Tis welcome you find no fault with one such as I. |

| 3995 This book has been drenched in blood, ruining most of the pages within. The original ink, faded to begin with, is now thoroughly illegible. A more recent script handwritten in the margins has left an impression revealing a few words here and there, just enough to decipher the nature of the tome. This text apparently dealt with the process that one would go through to become a vampire, though the little you can see gives no indication why someone would want to do such a thing. There is a stamp on the back of the book suggesting that this tome was once archived and recorded by the followers of Oghma. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 3996 Her company is refreshing, but I am surprised I find it so. |
| 3997 No harm shall come to her while I yet live! |
| 3998 Watch your words when addressing me lest they be fed to you on the end of my boot! |
| 3999 Your words please, though I know not their motive. |
| 4000 Dea Vampir Becomos |
| 4001 This group be a damn sight better off without you! |
| 4002 Must you crowd so close? 'Tis bad enough I must walk with you chimps. |
| 4003 Typical response; I wonder if they will prove useful at all. |
| 4004 Conjur Ota Servanta |
| 4005 Pawn discarded. I'll have to find another group if this keeps up. |
| 4006 Checkmate! At last the witch dies! |
| 4007 How long must we wait here? Things stir to the south as we sit! |
| 4008 I will not fall here! |
| 4009 For the fallen! |
| 4010 Our actions are good, and will serve the greater balance. |
| 4011 I hope this is not a sign of things to come. We must strive to maintain balance. |
| 4012 This is no longer a matter that can be brushed aside! Change your ways or we shall be at odds! |
| 4013 I... I cannot believe the change in this group! For the greater balance, I... I must oppose you! |
| 4014 As I have said before, you could not have made a better choice. |
| 4015 Rest would be welcome lest we endanger ourselves. |
| 4016 It is strange that we stand about when there is so much to do. |
| 4017 I will require healing if I am to be of use to the group. |
| 4018 I am at peace in the outdoor places, though it never seems to last. |
| 4019 I have no patience for cities. Our stay had best be a short one. |
| 4020 Nature could find a home here if it were properly cleansed and balanced. |
| 4021 Nature has many children that call the darkness home. I am not one of them. |
| 4022 Nature's servant awaits. |
| 4023 I await your need. |
| 4024 I am ready. |
| 4025 It is done. |
| 4026 As you direct. |
| 4027 I go. |
| 4028 As I would have done. |
| 4029 If it will help. |
| 4030 I thought as much. |
| 4031 As you would have it. |
| 4032 Khalid, my dear, 'twould take a sailor to untie that tongue. |
| 4033 Insufferable? |
| 4034 Beautiful? |
| 4035 Do you claim to fight evil while you are diabolic yourself? |
| 4036 I know not your goals, but you are nearly Zhentish in spirit. 'Tis disgusting. |
| 4037 You demonstrate your own pettiness. It saves me the trouble, so I take no offense. |
| 4038 Careful. Ground tongue makes excellent fertilizer, especially with what you're spewing. |
| 4039 Is grass not made of blades? Do stars not shoot? Nature be well armed, and demands so of her servants! |
| 4040 You are amusing, in a "what the hell is wrong with you" kind of way. |
| 4041 Seldom do I find so little fault with someone. I hope it lasts. |
| 4042 Keep your distance. I doubt your motives are as you claim. |
| 4043 No sorrow for those lost in righteous battles. |
| 4044 Blast it, Khalid! You die, and I swear you'll never hear the end of it! |
| 4045 C-calm yourself, dear. We must proceed c-c-carefully. |
| 4046 Better part of valor! Better part of valor! |
| 4047 Oh, my heart's really not in this! |
| 4048 Gorion would be proud of your actions. |
| 4049 Gorion would have none of this! 'Tis shameful! |
| 4050 I'll not have a part in this! Change your course lest I be forced to s-stop you! |
| 4051 I will not allow this! Itâ€â€it's utterly evil! |
| 4052 If you wish, but I'm not a very inspiring leader. |
| 4053 *yawn* I think much c-c-clearer withâ€â€with rest. Might we stop? |
| 4054 I prefer these long periods of relaxation. Lovely day for it. |
| 4055 I am getting weaker. I'll need a healer as soon as possible. |
| 4056 I am much more at ease in the forest. |
| 4057 Cities are always so intimidating. So many people. |
| 4058 T-there are S-SO many places I would rather be. |
| 4059 Sunny or not, 'tis nice to enjoy the out-of-doors. |
| 4060 Even with infravision, I prefer the daylight. |
| 4061 C-Can I help you? |
| 4062 You have need of me? |
| 4063 WHA... y-yes? |
| 4064 If none are better. |
| 4065 I can but try. |
| 4066 I'll do my best. |
| 4067 If at first I don't succeed, the wife won't let me forget. |
| 4068 Th-th-that's all, folks! |
| 4069 Ch-ch-ch-... ch-ch-ch-chia! |
| 4070 Click on someone your own size! |
| 4071 Please, J-Jaheira, you needn't be so... s-so... |
| 4072 Yes, that's definitely it! |
| 4073 Ye... no, stay beautiful. Despite yourself. |
| 4074 Usually everyone proves themselves, but there is something... disturbing about you. |
| 4075 I had thought none could be so beyond the bounds of goodness. Certainly you need h-help. |
| 4076 S-sharpen your tongue elsewhere. Everyone deserves a chance. |
| 4077 You... hmmph... must y-you c-continually... |
| 4078 Th-thank you. |
| 4079 I don't want to seem c-confrontational, but could you be a little less... well... evil? |
| 4080 Your honesty is refreshing, but lace it well with tact. |
| 4081 Your company is a w-welcome part of this group. |
| 4082 Another friend fallen. Does it never end? |
| 4083 Jah... Jaheira. no. NO! |
| 4084 Stand and deliver, that my hamster might have a better look at ye! |
| 4085 No, despair not! I will inspire you by charging blindly on! |
| 4086 Go for the eyes, Boo, GO FOR THE EYES! RrraaaAAGHGHH! |
| 4087 We are all heroes, you and Boo and I! Hamsters and rangers everywhere, rejoice! |
| 4088 This behavior must not continue! Feel the burning stare of my hamster and change your ways! |
| 4089 This is not right. Change our course or I will have to apply a considerable wallop of virtue! |
| 4090 Boo can stand only so much! |
| 4091 Magic is impressive, but now Minsc leads! Swords for everyone! |
| 4092 We must rest soon. Boo is getting squirrely. |
| 4093 Boo must have his exercise lest he bite us all in hard-to-reach places. |
| 4094 I must get aid soon. Boo is too young to have to avenge me. |
| 4095 You know... I think the forest likes Boo. |
| 4096 A den of stinking evil. Cover your nose, Boo. We will leave no crevice untouched! |
| 4097 Strange things go bump in the night, but none bump bigger than Minsc! |
| 4098 You point, I punch. |
| 4099 Swords, not words! |
| 4100 Minsc and Boo stand ready. |
| 4101 Where Minsc goes, evil stands aside. |
| 4102 Squeaky wheel gets the kick. |
| 4103 Full plate and packing steel! |
| 4104 Stand back for justice! |
| 4105 When the going gets tough, someone hold my rodent. |
| 4106 There be safety in numbers, and I am two or three at least. |
| 4107 Butt-kicking for goodness! |
| 4108 It is as you would have it. 'Tis my sworn vow to ensure your every need is catered to. |
| 4109 Where Dynaheir goes, so goes my blade. |
| 4110 Lay a finger on what I protect, and forevermore ye will answer nature's call with a hook! |
| 4111 Stand ye not too close! Dynaheir is under my protection! |
| 4112 Play on, bard! 'Tis sweet music to my furry friend. |
| 4113 I take no offense from your comments. You just don't understand the bond I have with Boo. |
| 4114 Your words are as sharp as my blade, though not half as shiny. Oooo, shiny. |
| 4115 I am of few words and fewer hesitations! Warning's past, and now you die! |
| 4116 You travel with Minsc, you toe the line! I'll not suffer slackers while I'm busy hero-ing! |
| 4117 Boo does not like your manner. Away with ye. |
| 4118 Choose your friends wisely. Not all are as trustworthy as Minsc and Boo. |
| 4119 No finer a place to die than the battlefield! |
| 4120 Dynaheir! Nooooo! You will be avenged! |
| 4121 Ye already be disturbed, now leave me be. Yer company be toil enough as is. |
| 4122 A pox on ye, I'll no lose my neck to this lot! |
| 4123 And the rivers run red! |
| 4124 Effective. I may not kill you after all. |
| 4125 Ye goody goodies make me sick! |
| 4126 Any more of yer nice-nice and I'm gone! |
| 4127 I'll suffer this group no more! Best ye sleep with one eye open! |
| 4128 I have no equal, but I prefer to work alone. |
| 4129 If'n I'm not allowed to sleep, our next assailants may just live. |
| 4130 A good blade must be fed. Find prey or I find you. |
| 4131 A death be in me if I no get help. |
| 4132 I hate the woods. Prey be so much easier to find in the city. |
| 4133 Dungeons! The dark is nice, but blast this damp! |
| 4134 I be much preferring the cover of night o'er this blasted daylight. |
| 4135 Ye spoke at me? |
| 4136 This better be good. |
| 4137 What need ye dead? |
| 4138 I'll do yer toil. |
| 4139 Go suck yer blade. |
| 4140 Sleep lightly taskmaster. |
| 4141 I warrant your attention?! Oh frabjous day, callooh callay! |
| 4142 Arrrr! |
| 4143 Leave me be lest your head leave yer neck. |
| 4144 What part of "I'm a loner" do ye not understand?! |
| 4145 That mad wizard is off on one of his "spells" again. |
| 4146 My "equal" is a talent of many men, all of them fools. |
| 4147 Do ye truly want yer last words to be so stupid? |
| 4148 Do not make light of me! My purpose is greater that you can imagine! |
| 4149 I've suffered yer company as long as I'm going to! Ye could be Harpers, the way ye irritate me so! |
| 4150 Yer wit be sharp as my blade! Do we exchange jabs, or will ye cease yer prattle?! |
| 4151 Mayhaps we should just befriend them all and go for tea, eh? |
| 4152 Ye live longer if ye don't annoy me. Mayhaps even a week or more. |
| 4153 Keep yer distance, ye goody-goody. I no like the smell of charity. |
| 4154 Good or bad, you'll go the way of all flesh. |
| 4155 'Tis a wonder you've lived as long as you have. |
| 4156 Fool! Now we'll need another mule! |
| 4157 And the mad wizard falls! Saves me the trouble! |
| 4158 Walking alone on the Coastway road! How smart is this? |
| 4159 Live smart! Live long! Run away! |
| 4160 This group may be capable of learning after all! |
| 4161 'Tis a wonder your brains can keep you breathing! Try to behave! |
| 4162 Only the truly inept would resort to such evil as this! I'll not stand much more! |
| 4163 I am getting stupid just being near you! You are unteachable! Goodbye! |
| 4164 At last you realize the potential of my amazing brain! |
| 4165 If I go too long without rest, I'll end up as stupid as you! |
| 4166 The mind atrophies with disuse! Let's do something! |
| 4167 Hello! I need healing here! |
| 4168 Deciduous, coniferous, and... uhhh... green. |
| 4169 If I'm so smart, what am I doing down here? |
| 4170 If I weren't so intelligent, I might be a little nervous of the dark. |
| 4171 What do you need?! |
| 4172 You grunted? |
| 4173 Can I... help you? |
| 4174 I'm too smart for this. |
| 4175 Is that all? |
| 4176 There's none better. |
| 4177 I am so smart! S M R T! I mean S M A R T! |
| 4178 Shake a paw! C'mon, shake a paw! |
| 4179 Feel my amazing brain! Go on, touch it! |
| 4180 I wile away the hours, conferring with the flowers, consulting with the rain. |
| 4181 Ruler of the world, hmmm? Only if chosen by virtue of an... uncluttered mind. |
| 4182 Indeed you grow "grander" by the moment. Though how a fat head will help, I do not know. |
| 4183 Oh yeah?! Well I've got more smarts in my little finger than you've got in your little finger! No... wait a minute. |
| 4184 Violence is a trademark of low intelligence! |
| 4185 Mind not what others say. The intelligent enjoy your music regardless. |
| 4186 Oooo, insult me again. Only this time, use your brain. |
| 4187 You don't expect me to believe you meant that? I'm too smart for your hidden insults! |
| 4188 Leaving Shadows |
| 4189 Who taught this chimp to talk?! What they can't do these days! |
| 4190 Well, I certainly would have handled THAT better. |
| 4191 If you were smarter, you'd enjoy my company more. |
| 4192 If you need any help... y'know... thinking, just let me know. I'm here to help. |
| 4193 This text is written in a very old dialect of southern Common that you are not familiar with, though it does not appear to be a particularly ancient tome. It seems to be a section of the personal journal of a noble named Tomass Sangui and deals with the acquiring and control of his most devoted servants. It is difficult to ascertain much more, though from the frequency of certain words, you are reasonably sure that Tomass was creating vampire minions, if not some other creature that feeds on blood. His knowledge on the subject seems quite intimate indeed, and he details the long process of completely turning a victim. Apparently, if the process is interrupted, it can be reversed, but the author does not say how. There is a stamp on the back of the book that indicates it was once archived and recorded by the followers of Oghma. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |

| 4195 Ahh, Tiax! Had you asked, I would have said you were too dumb to live. |
| 4196 You! Tiax would speak at you, for 'tis destined to be so! |
| 4197 Tiax will rule... from a distance! |
| 4198 Tiax will smite thee! |
| 4199 Tiax is impressed with this group! You will continue to serve him once he rules. |
| 4200 Archer! Use fire to kill the beasts ere they rise again! |
| 4201 Move out! The battle is far from over! |
| 4202 Tiax fails to see how this will aid in his ascension! |
| 4203 Continue with this... unprofitable behavior, and Tiax will seek his destiny elsewhere! |
| 4204 You are unworthy to sit at the feet of great Tiax! I shall find another for that exalted spot! |
| 4205 As it should be! Tiax was destined to lead! |
| 4206 Tiax needs rest if he is to rule! |
| 4207 Attack formations! Hold back the fiend! |
| 4208 We get no closer to world domination just standing about! |
| 4209 Destiny had best hurry. Tiax does not feel well at all. |
| 4210 When Tiax rules, this forest will be lumber for but a leg of his throne! |
| 4211 When Tiax rules, the stones of this city shall build his castle! |
| 4212 <CHARNAME>, please! We cannot defeat this thing alone! |
| 4213 Why must Tiax traverse this dank hole?! Cyric said nothing of soggy boots! |
| 4214 Tiax must squint in the sunlight! One day... revenge shall be his! |
| 4215 Night would DARE hamper the sight of Tiax?! |
| 4216 Who dares prod Tiax?! |
| 4217 Tiax hears you. |
| 4218 Soon Tiax rules! |
| 4219 Tiax is as Tiax duz. |
| 4220 For the Queen! Let us find what survivors we can! |
| 4221 Tiax WILL rule ALL! |
| 4222 Tiax moves. Make way! |
| 4223 Ya little monkey-spanker. |
| 4224 When Tiax rules, breeches shall not ride up so wedge-like! |
| 4225 Tiax does as ye will, but one day... BOOM! He rules! |
| 4226 The day comes when TIAX will point and click! |
| 4227 Where will your learning get you when Tiax rules? Duke of manure at best! |
| 4228 Sure you be smart, but none are grander than Tiax! |
| 4229 Thou wouldst mock me? Ye stiff-rumped foole! |
| 4230 All the world will tremble beneath the feet of Tiax! |
| 4231 Tiax and his greatness shall squash you as a bug, you... you... insolent BUG! |
| 4232 Your insults carry little sting. Tiax knows he will rule in the end. |
| 4233 Ye cup-shot muttonhead! Tiax will slap you silly... when he rules! |
| 4234 Give thy tongue a holiday! Tiax so commands! |
| 4235 Your goals are petty in comparison to the wonder of Tiax! |
| 4236 Do as ye will, but 'tis for naught! Tiax must rule! |
| 4237 Has Tiax mentioned he's going to rule? 'Tis inevitable. |
| 4238 Blast you! Escaping the inevitable rule of Tiax by dying! Coward! |
| 4239 Ha Ha HA! Smart guy dies, and Tiax goes on to RULE! |
| 4240 Montaron, you are so AGGRAVATING! 'Tis disturbing to my demeanor! |
| 4241 Waaaa! Mommy, I'm a scared! |
| 4242 I am become death, destroyer of worlds! |
| 4243 I'm starting to find this group almost... palatable. |
| 4244 Must we be so insufferably charitable?! |
| 4245 I'll not tolerate any more of this benevolence! |
| 4246 I can take this no longer. May you all die cold miserable deaths! Farewell! |
| 4247 A wise choice for leader. |
| 4248 I tire! I'll be MUCH MORE AGREEABLE with rest! |
| 4249 Much as I enjoy these moments of repose, GET A MOVE ON IT! |
| 4250 Mommy, I don't feel too good. |
| 4251 The trees... move. Do you not see it?! |
| 4252 A cutthroat in every alley, but I'll not let them take us alive. |
| 4253 I'm never quite so comfortable as when I'm at least six feet under. |
| 4254 I've never liked the sunlight. 'Tis just too... bright. |
| 4255 I wanted infravision like the elves, but 'tis more than just taking their eyes. |
| 4256 Something troubling you? |
| 4257 Your voice is ambrosia. |
| 4258 Stop touching me! |
| 4259 If I must! |
| 4260 I could do no other. |
| 4261 Hardly worth my time! |

| 4268 Har HAR there, Montaron! Quite the fight, eh, chum? |
| 4269 C'mon, Montaron, lighten up. Must you be so moody all the time? |
| 4270 Why must you goad us into other people's concerns? Can you not just let us mind our own enterprise? |
| 4271 I begin to see your true nature, and 'tis as I expected. None are as insufferably righteous as Harpers! |
| 4272 Oh, speak no more lest ye gorge my sweet tooth! |
| 4273 I'll not be mocked, thou most slanderous harlot! |
| 4274 Ahh yes, the chatter of friends and compatriots! Does it not warm the cockles? |
| 4275 Could we cease the incessant noise?! 'Tis such a pain behind the eyes! |
| 4276 Smiles, everyone, smiles! This is like some great fantasy! |
| 4277 I know dragons with feet like rabbits! 'Tis true I swear! |
| 4278 I suppose I should feel a sense of loss. How unfortunate I don't care. |
| 4279 Montaron! I... I never loved you. |
| 4280 Aye, who's there now? More smithing, or did ye burrow into another river? |
| 4281 I should'na got out of bed this morn! |
| 4282 Clangeddin's might be with us! |
| 4283 We do good! 'Tis as my clan was, long ago. |
| 4284 There'll be dark horizons if we don't change our ways! |
| 4285 I've seen enough greed and evil! Change your ways lest enemies we be! |
| 4286 Ye be no better than the Throne themselves! I'll not stand by while this happens! |
| 4287 Slow and steady while I'm leader. |
| 4288 Even dwarves need to rest. I can't walk much further. |
| 4289 Why did I leave my cell if I'm to stand about doing nothing?! |
| 4290 Ill I am, and when a dwarf says he's sick, you know it's serious! |
| 4291 'Tis just like the tunnels of my old clan. |
| 4292 <CHARNAME>, it is good to see you again. |
| 4293 I prefer the stone of my cell o'er this wide open empty. |
| 4294 What happened to you, Yoshimo? You look injured. Did you kill the nymph to escape? |
| 4295 You need something? |
| 4296 What e're ye need. |
| 4297 How did you escape the nymph? It was my impression that you didn't wish leave her side... |
| 4298 Ye need only ask. |
| 4299 I do not wish to speak with you, Yoshimo. |
| 4300 NO! I did not kill her! |
| 4301 Stay calm, old friend. It was merely a question. |
| 4302 As you will. |
| 4303 Clangeddin's will be done. |
| 4304 Be glad to. |
| 4305 My father was a miner. And my mother was a miner before him. |
| 4306 How were you wounded if not in a fight? |
| 4307 Keep yer straw and sticks! Only Stone protects the pigs! |
| 4308 I do not believe you. |
| 4309 You load sixteen tons, what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt. |
| 4310 She, uh, released me from bondage. I am a free man again and ready to rejoin your party. |
| 4312 The mines were there for anyone who looked! I'll not be blamed for what the Throne does with 'em! |
| 4313 'Twould be good if you tithed a few coins now and then. The favor of gods is worth a few gold. |
| 4314 You've sold your mores for the love of gold. All dwarves are kin, but I'll not call YOU family. |
| 4315 Friendships last when gold is long gone. Perhaps you should be a little nicer to the group. |
| 4316 I've been through enough without suffering you as well. Begone. |
| 4317 Watch what you say. Good-natured I am, but I swing a mean axe where evil's concerned! |
| 4318 We fight for what's right, but you needn't take such pleasure in it. |
| 4319 Kind words are always appreciated. |
| 4320 Violence solves only the simplest problems. You must think your way through the tough ones. |
| 4321 A friendly face is a blessed sight in these times. |
| 4322 I would be happy to have you join me. |
| 4323 Freeing Queen Ellesime I killed the parasites Irenicus was using to drain the Tree of Life, and I freed Queen Ellesime from her cage. She then severed Irenicus's connection to the Tree, a disorientating process that may have weakened him. Ellesime has disappeared, perhaps to get reinforcements, leaving me with my only chance to gain revenge for everything Irenicus has stolen from me! |
| 4324 How were you wounded? |
| 4325 Your ego is positively elven. Drop it a notch lest I do it for you. |
| 4326 I've lost too many clan-mates already! Must I lose these as well? |
| 4327 I wish no dwarf dead, but I'll not miss his company! |
| 4328 I do not believe you. |
| 4329 Please, sirs, I'm sorry for what I've done, but a girl's gotta eat, you know. |
| 4330 Come on, now, don't let me suffer in this place. We've both had enough of that. |
| 4331 Yep? |
| 4332 Whatcha want? |
| 4333 If we're going to do nothing, let's at least find a safer place to do it. |
| 4334 Ye're a queer fellow. |
| 4335 Right you are. |
| 4336 All right, all right. |
| 4337 Aww, come on. I'm not cut out for the leadership stuff. |
| 4338 I'll stick with you no matter what, but we should still try and be decent to people. |
| 4339 *yawn* I'm getting sleepy. Wish we could stop for a bit. |
| 4340 Poor sod, takin' the dirt-nap so soon. |
| 4341 Heya! It's me, Imoen. |
| 4342 Ahhh, my child, I am glad I have found you. |
| 4343 Please, <CHARNAME>, do not be angry with me. The nymph enchanted me, but she has since freed me. I am a free man again and ready to rejoin your party. |
| 4345 I would be happy to have you join me. |
| 4346 Unholy Blight |
| 4347 How were you wounded? |
| 4348 I do not believe you. |
| 4349 I did not hurt the nymph! She released me from the fairy circle. I am a free man again and ready to join your party. |
| 4350 Unholy Blight (Necromancy) Level: 3 Sphere: Healing Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special This spell calls upon energy from the Negative Energy Plane in order to open a channel between it and the targets. The result is that any good creatures within the spell's area of effect take 1d4 points of damage per level of the caster, or half damage upon a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell. If the victims fail their Saving Throw, they also receive a -2 penalty to all their rolls for 4 rounds. |
| 4351 I would be happy to have you join me. |
| 4352 Finding Irenicus in Hell Irenicus's death did not have the same effect as Bodhi's did, and my soul has not returned to me. Perhaps it was because of the power he gathered from the Tree of Life, or because Bodhi was undead. Regardless, Irenicus has fallen, dragging both my soul and myself inexorably behind. I am now alone in what must be the Nine Hells, but I am certain Irenicus is here somewhere... and somehow, in this, I must find the mage and battle him once and for all to get my soul back. |
| 4353 How were you wounded? |
| 4354 Escaping the asylum I released the inmates of the asylum to perform an assault on Irenicus, driving the wizard off for the moment. He still has both Imoen's soul and mine, however, and I must follow. According to Saemon Havarian, Irenicus has plans in an elven city called Suldanessellar. Saemon offered to take me to the Forest of Tethir on his ship, and I have accepted. He may not be trustworthy, but he's all I've got. If I don't get my soul back, I will die. Or worse. |
| 4357 I do not believe you. |
| 4358 After the nymph released me, I ran to catch up with you and had a little run-in with a worg. The worg wounded me. |
| 4359 You've found us now. Would you like to join my party again? |
| 4360 I do not believe you. |
| 4361 I don't have a place in my party for you. I may have one at a later time. |
| 4362 It is the truth! I would not harm that innocent nymph! She released me from the fairy circle so that I could rejoin my companions. You must believe me! |
| 4363 I would be happy to have you join me. |
| 4364 How were you wounded? |
| 4365 I think you killed the nymph to escape. I do not know why you would do that, but I am certain that you did. |
| 4366 I am pleased to travel with you again. |
| 4367 I am very sorry to hear that. You shall find me in Athkatla should you need me. I will be staying at the Copper Coronet. Travel safely, <CHARNAME>. |
| 4368 When you have thought about this and realized your error, you will find me at the Copper Coronet in Athkatla. I will now take my leave of you. |

| 4396 This journal was found on the body of the shadow-slain warrior that you stumbled upon near the entrance to the dark woods. The last entry is of particular interest: "Nothing is as I'd imagined that it would be. I expected to become a hero when I joined Mazzy Fentan's party. I expected that we would slay monsters with ease and bask in the glory of victory as they do in the old tales. But it is not as it seems. I did not expect the drudgery of the march, the casual horror of slaughter, the smell of death everywhere. I swear I can taste it! We've killed so many shadows and black wolves that my brain has become as numb as my arm. I am covered in ichor but have not the energy to even clean myself. If not for Mazzy, I think that I would be mad. She is a constant source of strength and always reminds us of the innocents that these beasts have killed, of the horror that we must take upon ourselves to save the people who have no defense. Mazzy is the hero here, not I. The battle has only just begun. Today we arrived at the entrance to the ruined temple. It was crawling with shadows. Were it not for Mazzy's quick thinking, we would surely be dead. There were far too many to fight, but Mazzy used the stained glass of the ruins to reflect what light we had, illuminating the entrance and sending the shades to their doom. While the stained glass caught the light, we were able to find a pocket of safety. Any shadows that came within were destroyed by the light. Tomorrow we will attempt to enter the temple and the darkness. I have never felt such dread. I try to be as brave as Mazzy but cannot. I feel the horrible, inescapable urge to run, and when the battle is joined, I can only hope that I will not." STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |

| 4501 I am a gentle man at heart. At least, when I'm not slaughtering the stupid. |
| 4502 I've sparred with demons from the Nine Hells themselves! I shall barely break a sweat here today! |
| 4503 All this chatter is fine, but I've places I'd rather be. |
| 4504 Don't poke Drizzt. 'Tis entirely unsociable. |
| 4505 Ho there, wanderer. Stay thy course a moment to indulge an old man. |
| 4506 Oh, it is most distressing that this is the course thou've chosen. I remove my support and will have no further dealings with thee. |
| 4507 I can offer some guidance, but I will not interfere in your destiny. |
| 4508 Thy mission is urgent! Must thou waste time poking the elderly? |
| 4509 The years I have seen number hundreds, and yet I put up with thy prodding. |
| 4510 Whoa, lord, it is hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way. |
| 4511 Run as you will; you cannot hide forever! |
| 4512 Your death is inevitable. |
| 4513 Only the strongest shall prevail. |
| 4514 The streets will run red with blood when my work is finished. |
| 4515 I do not fear death... do you? |
| 4516 Killing is our father's work; embrace it as I have. |
| 4517 You're perceptive for an old man. You know why I'm here. Hand over your ward and no one will be hurt. If you resist, it shall be a waste of your life. |
| 4518 I'm sorry that you feel that way, old man. |
| 4519 Ah, yes, the, ah... a tab! Um... another ale, young miss. I'll be sure to have your funds ready. |
| 4520 This is not my day at all! |
| 4521 Perhaps some other time! I'm not in the mood for fighting today! Or any day! |
| 4522 'Tis surprising what one can learn at a simple country fair. |
| 4523 I've traveled the length and breadth of Faerûn, and there's always something new. |
| 4524 Awfully familiar with that pointer, aren't you? And after only one drink, too. |
| 4525 I've a story for every man, woman, and child in Faurûn. However, copyright laws forbid me the telling. |
| 4526 Salutations. I am Cadderly, a visitor of Candlekeep, like yourselves. |
| 4527 Violence is never the wisest course. |
| 4528 Faith is all one needs to surpass life's obstacles. |
| 4529 You are a special one in the eyes of the gods. |
| 4530 Never let greed or malice guide your destiny. |
| 4531 One is not forced to walk in the steps of their father. |
| 4532 Look it, Krystin, honey. It's the heroes of the Sword Coast. They're the real deal. |
| 4533 It looks like tough times for us, honey. |
| 4534 Hey, fellas, guess what time it is? Yep, you got it: It's time to die. |
| 4535 Krystin, love, keep your mind on your work. We're professionals over here. |
| 4536 Krystin, honey, don't break down on me here. I still need your help! |
| 4537 Shut up and bleed faster. |
| 4538 I once met a man from Nantucket... Oh, wrong world. |
| 4539 Ohhh! I'm so excited, Slythe. I've never heard real live heroes beg for their lives. |
| 4540 I can't take this! I can't. I'm sorry, darling. |
| 4541 You're all going to die. I'm going to slit your throats, open up your guts, and spoon out your brains. |
| 4542 Blood makes me giddy. I love to see it in great big spurts. |
| 4543 Oh, ohhh, you bastards, you hurt me. They hurt me, honey. DIIIEEE, die, die, AAARGGHH. |
| 4544 Ninety nine buckets of blood on the wall, ninety nine buckets of blood. |
| 4545 He he he he. |
| 4546 None cross Greywolf and live! |
| 4547 You've not heard the last of this, ye worthless priggers! |
| 4548 Have at thee, ye thieving scoundrel! |
| 4549 No one meddles with my business lest they become it! |
| 4550 All o' you deserve the morning drop on the gallows. |

| 4557 Korax good dog, yes, good dog! |
| 4558 Korax sorry, but he so very hungry. He must eat now! He must eat you! |
| 4559 Greetingshh, fellow rogues. *hiccup* |
| 4560 There are too many. Retreat! |
| 4561 The Shadow Thieves send their regards. |
| 4562 *hiccup* I's thinks I hads too much to drinks. |
| 4564 You know, one day, I'lls have me mys revengsh. Ha ha ha ha ha! *hic* *burp* |
| 4565 Lying, causing terror, and murderâ€â€those are my pastimes. |
| 4566 As all of you know, this is a special occasion for the city of Baldur's Gate. |
| 4567 The evidence we have about Entar's murder does resemble the work of the Shadow Thieves, but... |
| 4568 If I MAY continue, the signature left behind was very blatant and could have put there to mislead all of us. |
| 4569 Could we all have a round of applause for Silke Rosena? She is a performer who hails from Berdusk. |
| 4570 The votes have been tallied from those submitted by the landowners. The result was nearly unanimous. |
| 4571 All of your questions will be answered in due time; you need not worry. |
| 4572 Perhaps I could interject something before this meeting degenerates into meaningless bickering. |
| 4573 Wait one moment, that is not in your power to decide. |
| 4574 What of Duke Eltan, has his condition improved at all? If he dies, who will replace him? |
| 4575 What about the rumors of Amn mobilizing for war? Why aren't we preparing for war? |
| 4576 With our iron shortage, how are we to defend ourselves, and who will give us the iron we need? |
| 4577 Entar was killed by Shadow Thieves, agents of Amn; if it isn't obvious to the rest of you, it's obvious to me: Amn wants a war. |
| 4578 I believe that Eltan was poisoned by members of the Shadow Thieves. They're obviously trying to kill our leaders. |
| 4579 Resembles?! That's ridiculous. The signature left behind on the body WAS the mark of the Shadow Thieves. Are you blind *and* stupid, woman?! |
| 4580 Who would want to mislead us?! |
| 4581 What of the Zhentarim? I've heard that they may be somehow involved. |
| 4582 Shut up, let Sarevok speak. |
| 4583 Stop! You go nowhere! This our bridge. You pay to walk it! |
| 4584 Me Gnarl... me hungry! |
| 4585 Yeah, you pay... 20 gold for each head, or lose head! |
| 4586 Mmmm... smell good. |
| 4587 Hey dere, I'm Caldo, and dis is my brother Krumm. |

| 4590 No more for you. |

| 4593 Please, kind spirits, a wondrous ancient oak is in peril. |

| 4595 Ahh, beauteous creature! You are my masterpiece! |

| 4659 Free Haer'Dalis from imprisonment by Mekrath I have accepted a commission from Raelis Shai, the leader of a troupe of players who work in the playhouse underneath the Five Flagons. One of her actors, named Haer'Dalis, has been kidnapped by a wizard named Mekrath, whose laboratory is accessible through the sewers. I am to retrieve Haer'Dalis from the wizard, as well as locate a jewel that belongs to him. |
| 4660 Retrieve Mekrath's stolen mirror from his imp The wizard, Mekrath, has given me a task to retrieve a mirror that was stolen by an imp... The imp has likely escaped into the sewers and may have summoned something with the device, although Mekrath gave no specifics on exactly what that might be. |
| 4661 Free Haer'Dalis from imprisonment by Mekrath I freed Raelis's actor, Haer'Dalis, from his entrancement, and he has returned to the playhouse on his own. I must now find his gem and bring it to Raelis, and she will reward me for it. |
| 4662 Free Haer'Dalis from imprisonment by Mekrath Raelis's actor, Haer'Dalis, has joined my group and bade me to find his gem within Mekrath's house. I must return it, and him, to the playhouse under the Five Flagons. |

Once I have it, I am to bring it to one named Raelis at the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons Inn in the Bridge District for a reward. |

Haer'Dalis, Raelis, and the rest of the actors have been arrested by bounty hunters and brought through a portal... which remains open. They have ignored me for now, which only begs the question of whether or not I will follow. |

| 4736 Improved Invisibility (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 4 Range: Touch Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell is similar to Invisibility, but the recipient is able to attack by missile discharge, melee combat, or spellcasting while remaining unseen. However, telltale tracesâ€â€a shimmeringâ€â€allow an observant opponent to attack the invisible spell recipient. These traces are only noticeable when specifically looked for (after the invisible character has made <PRO_HISHER> presence known). Attacks against the invisible character suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls, and the invisible character's Saving Throws are made with a +4 bonus. Note: After making an attack, the wizard is no longer completely invisible. Opponents can target the wizard. |

Now all that remains is tracking down Ployer himself. |
| 4834 Save Jaheira from Baron Ployer's curse After leaving the government building, I ran into a representative of the group of magicians who cast the curse on Jaheira... a man by the name of Terrece. He offered me the opportunity to bribe his group so that they would not come to Ployer's aid against me... Apparently, they have little love for the man. We could not come to a deal, however... and I am not even sure the man could be trusted anyway. It might simply have been one of Ployer's tricks. Aside from all of this, I still need to locate Ployer himself. |
| 4835 Return whence you came. This is not your place! |
| 4836 Save Jaheira from Baron Ployer's curse It seems that Jaheira's fellow Harper friend, the merchant Belgrade, was killed by the same kind of curse that has been applied to Jaheira. His body was found a couple of months previous in the east end of the slums... a better place than anywhere else to begin looking for Ployer. |
| 4837 You have heard my wishes! Speak to me no more! |
| 4838 Summoned to the Harper Hold Another Harper named Meronia appeared and bid Jaheira to follow her. I have misgivings of what may come of this, although Jaheira has assured me that she will not be gone long. |
| 4839 Blast it thrice over! I am through with it, I am so! 'Tis no livin' left here, none! |
| 4840 Summoned to the Harper Hold Jaheira has returned to the group, and has told me that she has been summoned to the Harper compound in Athkatla... and that I am to go there as well. I have agreed to do so, even though I am not told their reason, and Jaheira says we must go quickly. The compound is in the Docks District of the city. |
| 4841 Summoned to the Harper Hold Jaheira has returned to the group, and has told me that she has been summoned to the Harper compound in Athkatla... and that I am to go there as well. I am not to be told why, apparently... and Jaheira refused to tell me. She left, in fact, to go there immediately and warned me that it would be best if I went to the compound as quickly as possible, where she would wait. The whole thing smacks of the usual Harper scheming. |
| 4842 WHAT?! What and what now?! |
| 4843 Well met, traveler. Gandolar Luckyfoot, at your disposal. |

| 5017 Finding Irenicus in Hell The demon I encountered has explained much. This plane was once the realm controlled by Bhaal, and my heritage means that I hold a certain amount of power over it. So does Irenicus, however, since he remains in possession of most of my soul. I don't quite understand, but the great doorway in this place "represents" the path to my own soul... the other piece that the mage holds. So long as Irenicus holds that piece, we are tethered... it is what drew me down here, and is the reason why neither of us is fully dead or alive. By finding the Tears of Bhaal, I will be able to open the doorway and face Irenicus. And then, I suppose, I must take all of my soul back. What will happen then, I can only wonder. |

| 5023 I cannot help it! You are like a miniature prophet of doom. |
| 5024 I meant no offense, Mazzy. You should be flattered! I don't think you're ugly... |
| 5025 Yes, mistress. |
| 5026 Orc Leader |
| 5027 Honestly, Yoshimo, I am sick and tired of humans and large folk calling me cute! |
| 5028 Oh, shut up! I won't seem so cute if I break your legs. |
| 5029 If you wish to end this conversation without bruises, you will silence yourself now! |
| 5030 And don't call me mistress! |
| 5031 Young lovely, you must be wary here... any traps we encounter, it is up to us to find and disarm them before they bring harm to the rest of the party. |
| 5032 But I have seen many traps intricate enough to fool even the most able. I remember one I encountered long ago... it worked as a pressure plate via springs set into wood. |
| 5033 I cannot bear to have you angry with me. I just do not want to see you hurt. A friend can do no less. |
| 5034 You will not, Nalia... I have confidence in you! |
| 5035 Skeleton Cleric |
| 5036 I think that goes without saying. |
| 5037 If I had wanted your tutelage, surely I would have asked for it! |
| 5038 I know, Yoshimo. I'm not angry with you, really... I'm just nervous. I would feel very guilty if I set off a trap by accident. |
| 5039 I will try not to disappoint. |
| 5040 Tell me, how did you get into adventuring? It is a dangerous business, as you well know. Any one of us could die without even a moment's notice. |
| 5041 I did not so much get into adventuring as it was forced upon me. |
| 5042 This is not something that I wish to discuss. |
| 5043 Forced upon you? What do you mean? |
| 5044 My stepfather was killed by a man who was looking to kill me. I was alone with no place to call home when I started on this road. |
| 5045 It's really none of your business. |
| 5046 As you wish. I was merely curious. |
| 5047 Tell me more about this man who killed your stepfather. |
| 5048 Why do you want to know? |
| 5049 This is not something that I wish to discuss with you. |
| 5050 His name was Sarevok. He was obsessed with the power of our father and wished to kill me to prevent me from taking it. |
| 5051 I always like to know about the people that I travel with. |
| 5052 Very well. His name was Sarevok. He was obsessed with the power of our father and wished to kill me to prevent me from taking it. |
| 5053 This is not something that I wish to discuss with you. |
| 5054 There isn't much to say. I hunted him down and killed him. End of story. |
| 5055 Who was your father? |
| 5056 It's really none of your business. |
| 5057 You wouldn't believe me if I told you. |
| 5058 Bhaal. |
| 5059 Getting inside the asylum The cook inside the guild house told me that Claire was within the dungeon, being punished by Lady Galvena even as we spoke. |
| 5060 Is not the story a bit more involved than that? |
| 5061 I don't see how the details pertain to you. Leave me be. |
| 5063 Very well. His name was Sarevok. He was obsessed with the power of our father and wished to kill me to prevent me from taking it. |
| 5064 That is all that is important to the tale. |
| 5065 I have seen many strange things here in this land. I have very little incredulity left in my mind. |
| 5066 As you wish. My father is the dead god Bhaal. He had premonitions of death before the Time of Troubles and arranged to have children. Sarevok and myself were the only two that I know of. |
| 5067 I have no further details that I wish to depart. |
| 5068 Bhaal? The god of murder? |
| 5069 Yes. |
| 5070 I tire of this conversation. Perhaps another time. |
| 5071 I am interested to hear more. |
| 5072 I have no further details that I wish to depart. |
| 5073 As you wish. My father is the dead god Bhaal. He had premonitions of death before the Time of Troubles and arranged to have children. Sarevok and myself were the only two that I know of. |
| 5074 But there could be others? Other children of Bhaal? |
| 5075 Why the sudden interest in Bhaal? |
| 5076 I tire of this conversation. Perhaps another time. |
| 5077 Yes, there could be others. No one but Bhaal knows how many. |
| 5078 It is an interesting story, and I wish to hear more. |
| 5079 Well, you shall not. Leave me be. |
| 5080 Then, in answer to your question, yes. There could be other children of Bhaal. I know of none, personally. |
| 5081 This was very interesting. I shall have to think on it. Thank you. |
| 5082 Tell me, where did you spend your childhood? |
| 5083 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Nalia tells me that the way into the dungeon of the keep is through a secret passage in her aunt's bedroom on the second floor. |
| 5084 In Candlekeep, a citadel to the north of Amn. |
| 5085 I don't feel like exchanging pleasantries today, Yoshimo. |
| 5086 What was it like growing up there with your stepfather... Gorion, was it? |
| 5087 Yes, Gorion. It was a pleasant existence. I garnered much knowledge from the monks and scholars of the vast library housed within the citadel. Gorion was a good man who took me in when I was orphaned. |
| 5088 It is none of your affair. |
| 5089 I am sorry if I have been too personal. I was only curious about you and your story. |
| 5090 Gorion was a mage, was he not? A very powerful mage? |
| 5091 Yes, he was. His magic kept Sarevok from killing me outside of Candlekeep. He sacrificed himself that I might live. |
| 5092 What does it matter? He is dead now. |
| 5093 It is none of your affair. |
| 5094 That was very noble of him. Why was he your stepfather? What happened to your mother? |
| 5095 I know not. She was slain or died when I was a wee child. I never knew her. |
| 5096 I don't feel like exchanging childhood stories today, Yoshimo. |
| 5097 I apologize for bringing up painful memories. It is unfortunate that this Sarevok found the need to kill you. I wonder why he feared you. |
| 5098 He feared that I would try and take Bhaal's power for my own. He saw me as competition or at least a sacrifice to further his fiendish machinations. |
| 5099 As do I, Yoshimo. The whole affair was a needless tragedy. Sarevok's evil intentions caused many to lose their lives. |
| 5100 I tire of this conversation. Let us continue our travels, Yoshimo. |
| 5101 I am very sorry to hear that. What was Gorion's relationship to your mother? Why did he take you in? |
| 5102 I never had a real opportunity to ask him. He was murdered unexpectedly. I suppose they were friends. |
| 5103 I tire of this conversation. Let us continue our travels, Yoshimo. |
| 5104 Where are you going with these inquiries? |
| 5105 Was he right to fear your competition? |
| 5106 Yes, he was. If I could harness Bhaal's power, I would. |
| 5107 No, he was not. I have no desire to become like a dead god of murder. I have my own life to live and my own path to choose. Those fell powers can die with Bhaal. |
| 5108 Was Sarevok correct in assuming that you were competition for him? |
| 5109 Yes, he was. If I could harness Bhaal's power, I would. |
| 5110 No, he was not. I have no desire to become like a dead god of murder. I have my own life to live and my own path to choose. Those fell powers can die with Bhaal. |
| 5111 As you wish, <CHARNAME>. Thank you for sharing your story with me. |
| 5112 Why else would a powerful mage take on such a responsibility? Maybe he saw power within you. Power that he thought should be watched. |
| 5113 I do have a unique heritage. However, Gorion was too good of a man to see me as some sort of experiment. Bhaal is dead, and it is unlikely that his power lives on in his children. |
| 5114 I tire of this conversation. Let us continue our travels, Yoshimo. |
| 5115 It merely seems odd that a powerful mage would take on such a responsibility. Maybe he saw power within you. Power that he thought should be watched. |
| 5116 I do have a unique heritage. However, Gorion was too good of a man to see me as some sort of experiment. Bhaal is dead, and it is unlikely that his power lives on in his children. |
| 5117 I tire of this conversation. Let us continue our travels, Yoshimo. |
| 5118 Would you? Can you not harness the powers? |
| 5119 Delthyr |
| 5120 Not at present. It seems unlikely since Bhaal is dead and has no power. |
| 5121 I tire of this conversation. Let us continue our travels, Yoshimo. |
| 5122 That would be best. You are an honorable person, <CHARNAME>. Let us continue our travels. |
| 5123 That is the general consensus amongst the clergy. Bhaal was once a powerful deity in Athkatla. Let us continue our travels. |
| 5124 I have pondered what you have said about Bhaal. Could it not be that Bhaal intended to be reborn through his children? |
| 5125 It is certainly something that I've thought about. It may be true. |
| 5126 I think that to be impossible. He is dead. |
| 5127 I don't want to talk about this, Yoshimo. |
| 5128 Does this not worry you? Is it something that you would welcome? |
| 5129 I have no desire to inherit the fell power of that evil being. I will choose my own path. A very different path than that of murder. |
| 5130 I don't want to talk about this, Yoshimo. |
| 5131 Perhaps his children retain a measure of his power. Do you? |
| 5132 I have no desire to inherit the fell power of that evil being. I will choose my own path. A very different path than that of murder. |

| 5206 Look at them! The knight is obviously the one to help! |
| 5207 The beast is an ogre! They are evil; they cannot be otherwise! |
| 5208 The potion you seek is here! |
| 5209 Ignore him! Drink the potion yourself, and know the essence of your heritage! |
| 5210 It is the last item you seek! Of course you're worthy of it! |
| 5211 You know you are all that and more! |
| 5212 You have done well by your heritage. |
| 5213 You are most disappointing indeed. |
| 5214 I am the essence of Bhaal within you. |
| 5215 Fight, that the violent death of your mind shall pave the way! |
| 5216 Weakling fool! You have spurned your father's gifts and your heritage. You can only pay with your blood! |
| 5217 You will not prevail! The strength that was given returns to the source! I am the stronger! |

| 5226 Then I bear a message for you as well. |
| 5227 Young one! Please stop awhile. I need your help. |

| 5236 Please... that pack of gnolls... they poisoned me. |
| 5237 Please... show some charity... I'll die without it. |

| 5695 This ring is relatively unadorned, but the vile magic within radiates intense evil. Indeed, its creator, Kangaxx, was no less evil himself, even before millennia of undeath honed his power. It is said that a cadre of Netherese mages fought and imprisoned the demilich once, but being unable to truly destroy him, they became liches themselves to stand guard over his remains. The construction of the ring may have led to their enmity, as each of the gem's nine facets was supposedly empowered by sacrifice and death.

| 5696 Heeding the spirit of the grove I have decided that the leadership of the grove is not my place, despite what the spirit of the grove describes as my "destiny." I will seek my balance elsewhere, and the spirit does not oppose my decision. |
| 5697 Heeding the spirit of the grove There is a troll mound within the boundaries of the grove, and the spirit informs me that a shamaness amongst them, Nilthiri, has begun to call great numbers of the creatures to the mound and threatens to disrupt the balance of nature. I am to go to the mound nearby and end the shamaness's life before too much damage is done. |
| 5698 Heeding the spirit of the grove Nilthiri is dead, and the spirit of the grove has commended me. I am free to go my own way for a while, although the spirit bade me to return before long, perhaps no more than a couple of weeks, lest I am needed again. When I do return, I should rest within the grove and the spirit will approach me. |
| 5699 Heeding the spirit of the grove The spirit has asked me to perform another service for the good of the grove... I am to find the descendant of Marek, a boy named Loren, and protect him from Marek's old enemies which threaten his life. Loren can be found in Trademeet, perhaps somewhere outside of the city's walls amongst the many tents. |
| 5700 Heeding the spirit of the grove Loren, the descendant of Marek and future leader of the grove once I have moved on, has been saved and the creature that possessed him destroyed. Loren has been brought to the grove for his training, and the spirit informs me that I will not be called on again... at least, not until I am ready to challenge for leadership of the grove as Archdruid. |

| 5703 'Tis a grand eve to be sittin' on the docks, rank with the smell of fish guts. You must be <CHARNAME>, the one that Aran was gonna send. |
| 5704 That I am. You must be Mook. |
| 5705 I have no wish to speak with you. Leave me be. |
| 5706 I am. Bloody fine to have some backup. I've heard a bit about you. Been makin' a name for yourself as an adventurer. |
| 5707 Enough socializing. Let us get down to business. What is the situation? |
| 5708 Thanks. I do my best. |
| 5709 Watch your mouth around a lady. You must not be the people Aran sent. He doesn't suffer the rude ones t' live. |
| 5710 The situation is that I've seen the same man pass by four times. He looked a bit different each time, but I knew it was the man. |
| 5711 How did you know? |
| 5712 Did you notice anything else odd about him? He could live here. |
| 5713 It's nothing to worry about. I'll tell you if I see something important. |
| 5714 Aren't you a bit too heroic to be guarding shipments for Aran? |
| 5715 Enough socializing. Let us get down to business. What is the situation? |
| 5716 'Tis merely a path on the road to another heroic feat. |
| 5717 I'm trained to know, <GABBER>. I've been watching him from the shadows here all day. |
| 5718 Did you notice anything else odd about him? He may live here. |
| 5719 It's nothing to worry about. I'll tell you if I see something important. |
| 5720 He was casing the area and studying me. Now that you're here to stay with the product, I should be able to learn something from him next time he passes. |
| 5721 It doesn't sound very suspicious. |
| 5722 That sounds like an excellent plan. |
| 5723 If you say so. I suppose we should wait for those people to return. |
| 5724 I'm glad I could play a part in your little drama. |
| 5725 Could you tell me what the situation is? |
| 5726 If this is the man we want, it shouldn't be too long until he shows up again. |
| 5727 We've got our answer. Here he comes again. He looks different at night. Kind of creepy. Wait here. I'll find out what's going on. |
| 5729 Hail, friend! 'Tis a fine evening for a stroll, no? |
| 5730 Who is it that speaks to me like an old acquaintance? |
| 5731 Have you? What might your purpose be? |
| 5732 You're welcome to your opinion. Perhaps I choose to stay right where I am. |
| 5733 To me, <CHARNAME>! Treachery is afoot! |
| 5734 Mook... I've been looking for you. |
| 5735 It is fitting, Mook, for I have been watching you. |
| 5737 Truly, my beauty, it is time for you to leave this life. Guarding the spoils of another man's crime is no way for a woman to live. |
| 5738 Choose not the difficult path, weak one. You will come with me regardless. Expect no help from these dregs. Their death as written in the stars shall be fulfilled tonight. |
| 5739 Psionic Blast |
| 5740 Air elemental whirlwind |
| 5741 It went as you expected, though I regret to report that Mook was murdered. |
| 5742 Finding Irenicus in Hell I have encountered my "half-brother" Sarevok, or at least his spirit, here in Hell. He offered to show me how to use my wrath to become the Slayer at will, the avatar form of Bhaal, but I don't know what the consequences of such a decision would be. I am not about to trust Sarevok, whether it was I who summoned him here or not. I refused, and he flew at me in a rage. I will not give in to whatever darkness my blood threatens to plunge me into, I won't! |
| 5743 Chapter 7: Part 2 Irenicus had attempted to walk amongst the gods, taking the power of the elven Tree of Life for himself. I stopped him... and while he was still weakened from Queen Ellesime's severing of his connection to the Tree, I managed to kill him. But it isn't over. He still has my soul, and perhaps that was reason enough for me to be dragged into Hell after him. Perhaps it was the power of the Tree, or something else; I don't know. But I am in Hell now, with one last chance to track down Irenicus and take my soul back. Here it will have to end. One way or another. |
| 5744 They attacked, and it was much more dangerous than you said! Mook is dead! |
| 5745 That is... unfortunate. She was a friend. I had hoped your support would prevent any deaths. Too many of my people have been killed or gone missing recently. |
| 5746 They seemed to know her, though she did not know them. |
| 5747 What do I care? She was your problem, not mine. |
| 5748 Yet here you stand, still alive. The rewards will outweigh the risks. At least, I hope so. Mook and her memory will serve as a reminder of the danger. |
| 5749 Then let us get on with whatever else you need. |
| 5750 Fishwife |
| 5751 These events prove what I feared: This rival guild knows our actions well, likely due to the traitors that joined them. We must stop any more from leaving us. |
| 5752 Fishwife |
| 5753 Wizard Slayer |
| 5754 You may not care about my people, <CHARNAME>, but I do. They deserve protection, and in fact, if they do not get it, you will not see your Imoen. |
| 5755 Yes, I will hear you. What must happen next? |
| 5756 Wizard Slayer |
| 5757 Annalynn |
| 5758 You were not the only ones who were busy last night. The leader of this rival guild, Bodhi by name, made a daring attack upon us. |
| 5759 Be on your guard. This Bodhi is the most intelligent and brutal foe I have ever had. If we are lax in our vigilance, we will be at the disadvantage. |
| 5760 Go to the Graveyard District and find their hideout. There is a network of tombs beneath the graves where another spy tracked one of Bodhi's servants. |
| 5761 When you have destroyed their evil, return to me and I will fulfill our bargain. Do this job well, and you may see Imoen by the morning. What say you? |
| 5762 I'll go to the Graveyard District at once. These vile creatures will not escape. |
| 5763 This is too dangerous. There could be any number of vampires there! |
| 5764 I say that you are stalling. You ask more and more but deliver very little. |
| 5765 You have my best wishes, <CHARNAME>. I wish you well. |
| 5766 Annalynn |
| 5767 As you look through the door, you see that the interior of this building has fallen into disrepair. It would be foolish to enter. |
| 5768 Behind the door is a gloom-filled, musty closet with nothing of interest. |
| 5769 It is in your best interest not to waste time. Go to the Graveyard District and destroy the evil within. Then we will literally have clear sailing. |

| 5775 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Well, of *course* there would be an emergency on opening night. Meck said I should come as soon as possible, although I doubt Higgold would go ahead and hold the play without me. I suppose I should go as quickly as I can, though. |
| 5776 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Well, the dress rehearsal is done. Higgold tells me that the opening night's performance will be within a week... perhaps a bit more. Either way, Meck will be sent to tell me when it will be exactly, in case I want to attend. All the information has gone out about Athkatla, and Higgold expects this to be a big event. Hopefully, there aren't any *more* problems... |

| 5791 Ahhh, there's nothing like battle to make your blood run hot! War be my salvation and the measure of this man and all men, verily. |
| 5792 My name's Dunkin, and I like to drink and stuff. |
| 5793 Would you not agree that there are other things that also comprise a whole manâ€â€compassion, honesty, character? |
| 5794 Agreed! The sword makes the man and is the only true measure of his worth and mettle. |
| 5795 And how would you know, dwarf? There's nothing special about your skills. I've seen better. |
| 5797 Fighting is necessary, but only to protect the innocent and defend the weak. |
| 5798 Balderdash! Ye know less than nothing, and proudly exclaim so! Virtue? Ye go back to dreading one day at a time, and I'll live on fire! Fool! |
| 5799 Perhaps yer head t'ain't empty, but mostly hollow with some good sense vapors foggin' yer goggles! |
| 5800 Another slight from the likes of ye, cur, and ye'll not see the morrow. |
| 5802 Escaping the asylum I have set the inmates free and goaded them into turning on Irenicus. They have gone downstairs en masse, and I will have to move quickly to catch up to them. Hopefully this will be enough to defeat the wizard... but I have the feeling this is far, far from over. |
| 5803 Aye, there be a sliver of truth in yer musing, but nae more. War be a wild mistress; she is appeased with fallen foes and the guts of the craven and accursed. |
| 5804 Sorry, Korgan. This time you're wrong, and you'll need to change your attitude if you wish to remain with the party. |
| 5805 Poison |
| 5806 Perhaps you're correct, Korgan. A warrior who balances fury with restraint can be made stronger for his compassion and honor. |
| 5810 The drow summoning ritual Ardulace has been impressed by my betrayal of Phaere... enough so that she wishes me to be present at the ritual to prevent any further interruptions. I am to be collected by a guard shortly in order to be brought to the ritual, which is taking place soon. |
| 5811 Nalia abducted by Isaea Roenall Isaea has returned and arrested Nalia through the abuse of his own power in the military. He claims that she is "under bad influences" and not acting according to her station. Nalia protested, but he is the only one who can be complained to, apparently, so there seems to be no recourse. I am not even sure where she is being held. |
| 5812 Samia's plan foiled Samia, the relic hunter in Firkraag's dungeon, was not what she seemed. Her plan was to get a dupe to get the treasure within the tomb for her... and then kill whomever retrieved it with the help of her companions. Fortunately, she has paid for her arrogance. |
| 5814 The final battle with Bodhi Bodhi appeared in an ambush shortly before I reached her haven, warning me that she was aware of my pursuit and stealing from me the one person that is dearest to my heart: Aerie. Before she vanished and unleashed more of her undead creations upon me, Bodhi warned me that if I continue, I will lose even more than I thought possible. I cannot give up on the Rhynn Lanthorn... but now the life and immortal soul of the one I love is at stake as well! |
| 5819 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid Aran Linvail, the Shadowmaster of the Shadow Thieves in Athkatla, is dead. Now I must return to Bodhi and tell her that her grim task has been completed. |
| 5822 Lavok is dead, the sphere returned Lavok has returned the sphere to our home plane and is now dead. Before he died, however, he granted the sphere to me... perhaps because I am a magic-user myself; I do not know. He asked me to use the construct wisely... more wisely than himself... and then died. What secrets lay in the place and how it even operates, I am not sure... but it is a grander base than any other wizard might have, that is certain. |
| 5823 The prophecy of Sekolah The high priestess seemed to think that I was the one spoken of in her prophecy, and that I will save this sahuagin city. Another priestess disagreed, however, and the king decided that a trial by combat was needed to settle the issue. I refused to play their game and decided to fight my way through this place. |
| 5824 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Even though I did my best in playing the lead role (at the last minute, I might add), the play overall was a flop. With Lord Tanislove disapproving, there's no way that the play can continue with any hope of success. Disappointed, most of the cast has signed on with other troupes that are leaving town. Higgold gave me some money from Samuel Thunderburp, who is turning the playhouse back into a cellar, and then he left as well. Ah well, it was worth a shot, I suppose. |
| 5825 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Daleson told me that there were about thirty trolls within the keep, and one very large one that seemed to be in charge. He also mentioned the yuan-ti that seem to be here as well, though he did not know their numbers. |
| 5826 Rescue Garren's child from Firkraag I have freed Garren's child, who fled the dungeon quickly. Now, unless I choose to face Firkraag himself, I should return to Garren's cabin as well. My mission here, at least, has been completed. |
| 5827 There's a WHAT in their chicken? I purchased a beljuril gem from a farmer in Imnesvale who had hidden it from thieves inside one of his chickens. |
| 5828 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills After the disappearance of the two spirits, Amuana appeared and rewarded me with a wardstone that she claims will render whoever holds it and all with them invisible to the Shade Lord's guardian... which she says to be a shadow dragon. She warned me to be careful not to drop the stone or attack the dragon and I would be safe, then thanked me and disappeared. |
| 5831 Nalia abducted by Isaea Roenall Barg was drunk and more than willing to talk, hinting at Isaea's involvement in piracy and slaving. He mentioned a slaver contact named Dirth, who can be found at the Sea's Bounty and may be able to provide more concrete information. |
| 5832 Inside the drow city Phaere has given us another task from the matron mother: We are to go to the northwest end of the caverns near the svirfneblin village and slaughter a patrol of deep gnomes to instill more fear in their people. Solaufein seems unwilling, preferring that I complete this job, but Phaere was adamant. I am to meet Solaufein near the village within a few days at most. |
| 5833 Journey to the Windspear Hills My current predicament seems to have been caused by Jierdan Firkraag, the very man who hired me to kill the ogres in the first place. He also engineered Garren's downfall. Why Firkraag would target me even Garren does not know, but Garren offered to go to Athkatla and tell the Order of the Radiant Heart of my innocence. We are to make his cabin our haven and home while he is gone. |

| 6065 Poison (Necromancy) Level: 4 Range: 15 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. Through this spell, the caster can poison victims who fail their Saving Throw vs. Poison. The damage inflicted depends on the level of the caster as detailed below: 7–9th level: 2d8 + 2/round 10–12th level: 3d8 + 3/round 13–14th level: 4d8 + 4/round 15–16th level: 6d8 + 5/round 17+ level: 8d8 + 6/round Those who make their Saving Throws are unaffected. |
| 6066 Anytime, broadarse. Bring it on! |
| 6067 You'd best back down, Korgan. Now! |
| 6068 Relax, Korgan. This isn't worth it. There will be no winner here. |
| 6069 I'm nae wrong. Not now or ever. Me favor won't be changin', and ye'd be well served to drop the matter, bowelhive, or ye'll eat through a reed. |
| 6070 Korgan, it's best if you leave the party right now. Goodbye. |
| 6071 Maybe it's best to drop the matter, Korgan. |
| 6072 Ye'd best make peace with yer life, fool, cause she draws to a close. |
| 6073 Discipliner |
| 6074 Ye'd be best served wrappin' a tourniquet about yer hamhole, bladdergas, to stop the flow of idiocy from that hole in yer face. |
| 6075 Ye're as gutless as ye look and dumber than's possible. Ye deserve only me pity, nae me axe. |
| 6076 Yer dirtchute be overcrammed with all the sundry ye can stick there! I'd a stomachful of yer spineless ravings anyway. Good riddance! |
| 6077 Perhaps ye're right. It's nae matter to draw steel over. But me axe be vigilant and me memory long. |
| 6079 Pixie Prick +3 |
| 6082 A proud crew we were. We ne'er blinked when adventure called. Purses overflowed, bellies was full, but the wheels left the wagon, the house of cards collapsed. |
| 6083 We were spelunking some old duergar shafts down south, a badly built construct of ill attention and nae craft, I may add, when we happened upon a hive of ooze. |
| 6084 Dispatched with ease, but mild strife later, Stitch's armor began to dissolve. Smoked like a chimney, and he squealed like a yardpig! 'E wouldn't stop wailing. |

| 6091 See, the plague had weakened him severely, and he wasn't worth the trouble anymore. |
| 6092 That's an outrage, Korgan! It's despicable that anyone would do such a thing to friend or foe! |
| 6093 They had it coming, Korgan. It's a relief to see a man of action aware of that. |
| 6094 It's nae a rally fer debate, bowelhive. The sad rabble dug their graves. I just made the bed fer their dirtnaps. Me conscience be clear. |
| 6095 Leave, Korgan! You're a scourge and pestilence! There's no place for you here. |
| 6096 You'd best change your ways, dwarf. We've no place in this party for madness such as that. |
| 6097 You're a gutless coward preying upon the weak and injured, Korgan. |
| 6098 I be glad to shake the dander of cowardice from me clothing. Perhaps a good wash'll remove the stains of grief from me garments. Good riddance! |
| 6099 I've nae changed fer lost loves nor the enmity of gods, and I'll nae change fer ye. Best ye grow accustomed to me flavor; it'll nae change in yer lifetime. |
| 6100 Strike that from the ledger, cretin, else I cease mollycoddlin' ye and remove me kidgloves! |
| 6101 Did I stutter, dwarf? Coward! Coward! Cow-ard! |
| 6102 Diviner |
| 6103 I'm sorry, Korgan. It was a slip of the tongue. |
| 6104 That tears it! Yer reckoning be at hand! |
| 6105 Pathetic cur! Yer luck's plentiful that an umbrage like that shan't be repeated. Should a second episode transpire, fate will not be so kind. |
| 6106 Was not unlike kindling cracklin', and he whined fer his legs all night... "Me legs are gone! Ah, me precious legs!" I chopped some peg-legs, but he'd not have it. |
| 6107 Enough is enough, Korgan. We don't need such a graphic description of your sordid affairs. |
| 6108 Please continue, Korgan. This is quite a tale. |
| 6109 Shame ye've nae cast-iron gullet. A rousing tale it is and worthy of a listen. |
| 6110 Strange thing, the whole time I swear his eyes followed me, though he was long dead by then. Hmph. |
| 6111 Ye nae worry 'bout the same fate befalling ye. Belly up and I'll flail poetic fer ye. |
| 6112 Strangers! Perhaps you have more courage than the worms that frequent this pit of corruption. I am Anomen, warrior priest of Helm. What is your name? |
| 6113 I am <GABBER>. It is a pleasure to meet you. |
| 6114 Where did you get the idiotic accent from? Reading too many romance novels? |
| 6115 Gather your party before venturing forth. |
| 6116 None of your business, Anomen. Get out of my way. |
| 6117 Well met! Speak then! Is your heart filled with courage or be it steeped in cowardice? |
| 6118 When there is cause for courage, I have it in abundance. |
| 6119 Truly, sir, I am a coward through and through. |
| 6120 You must excuse me, warrior. I haven't the time to speak with you. |
| 6121 Watch your tongue, dog! Tell me true, be you a force for evil or good? |
| 6122 I am a force. |
| 6123 I am a force of righteousness. |
| 6124 There is no true good or evil. The universe is a balance of all things. |
| 6125 I am no weak-willed goody two-shoes. I take what I want, when I want! |
| 6126 Fearful of your own shadow, eh, rogue? Come back when you have obtained a squire's measure of courage. I shall still be here, searching in vain for adventurers of merit. |
| 6127 So be it! If you seek to right the wrongs of this blighted land, then I am the man you should to speak to. Methinks I shall still be here searching in vain for adventurers of merit. |
| 6128 I trust that your accounting is true. Tell me then, <GABBER>, be you a force for evil or good? |
| 6129 I am a force of righteousness. |
| 6130 There is no true good or true evil. The universe is a balance of all things. |

| 6147 I would be infinitely pleased to have you join me. Welcome! |
| 6148 Regretfully, I must decline your offer. |
| 6149 Bah! The excuse of the damned! Begone from my sight and enter not back into it until your heart be prepared to honor purity and the triumph of what is good. |
| 6150 If this is so, then you are truly a fool to cross my path. Renounce your words and confess your sins! Mayhaps I will let you live. |
| 6151 Your threats are empty! My weapons shall do my speaking from this point forward. |
| 6152 I hereby renounce my path of evil and pledge to follow the path of righteousness for as long as I shall live. |
| 6153 Servant of evil! Would that this were a place appropriate to send you to the Hell that most assuredly awaits you! Another time, fiend! |
| 6154 If you truly wish to choose the righteous way, then you shall need a guide. Shall I join you on your journey to salvation? |
| 6155 I would be pleased to have you join me. |
| 6156 This is a road that I must walk alone. I must decline your offer. |
| 6157 The adventurer returns. Have you chosen the path of righteousness? |
| 6158 Indeed I have. |
| 6159 The blathering about righteousness is the swan song of the weak. I will not listen to such idiocy. |
| 6160 I am not prepared to accept that path. |
| 6161 Fair lady, what brings you to this cesspool of corruption? |
| 6162 That is none of your affair. |
| 6163 I seek adventure and honor. |
| 6164 I only wish to rest here awhile and partake of the pleasures within. |
| 6165 In truth, it is. I am honor-bound to protect all persons from corruption and evil. This place contains both. Be you an adventurer who comes seeking others of like mind? |
| 6166 Indeed, I am. And who might you be? |
| 6167 As I said before, it is none of your affair. |
| 6168 I only wish to rest here awhile and partake of the pleasures within. |
| 6169 Chance smiles upon you, for I am an adventurer of some worth. I am Anomen, warrior-priest of Helm. What is your name? |
| 6170 I am <GABBER>. It is a pleasure to meet you. |
| 6171 Where did you get the idiotic accent from? Have you been reading too many romance novels? |
| 6172 None of your business, Anomen. Get out of my way. |
| 6173 I shall let that pass. Tell me true, be you a force for good or for evil? |
| 6174 I am a force of righteousness. |
| 6175 There is no true good or true evil. The universe is a balance of all things. |
| 6176 I am no weak-willed goody-two-shoes. I take what I want, when I want it! |
| 6177 I tell you truly, this place is not for you. 'Tis a foul place for a lady to be. |
| 6178 You are not the one to decide where I should and should not be. Get out of my way. |
| 6179 If that is so, then what are you doing here? |
| 6180 Where should I be then? |
| 6181 Perhaps your path links closely to my own. I seek to be knighted in the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart and must prove my worth first. Have you need of a strong mace? |
| 6182 I would be infinitely pleased to have you join me. Welcome! |
| 6183 Regretfully, I must decline your offer. |
| 6184 One cannot seek to rid the earth of foul corruption by avoiding that same corruption. |
| 6185 Actually, I was hired to win you back from the wizard by Raelis Shai. |
| 6186 I've released you as a favor only, actor... I don't need my praises sung, I can assure you. |
| 6187 Helm's beard! What have we done? A most foul ruse has been played upon this company! Innocents are slain; the lifeblood of the Order stains the ground at my feet! What have we done? |
| 6188 Something is most assuredly wrong with this situation. What happened? |
| 6189 Greywolf |
| 6190 I'm just a simple woman. I don't think there is anything interesting I could tell you. |
| 6191 Everything is so hopeless... |
| 6192 I'm just an ignorant woman. I don't think anything I could tell you would be interesting in the least. |
| 6193 I'm just a simple woman. I don't think there is anything interesting I could tell you. |
| 6194 I'm just a simple woman. I don't think there is anything interesting I could tell you. |
| 6195 I'm just a fisherman trying to do his job. All I can tell you, friend, is that a priestess of Umberlee has been killin' my friends. I guess we are kinda at fault though; we did kill her mother, but hey, she had it comin'. |
| 6196 I'm just a fisherman trying to do his job. All I can tell you, friend, is that a priestess of Umberlee has been killin' my friends. I guess we are kinda at fault though; we did kill her mother, but hey, she had it comin'. |
| 6197 I'm just a fisherman trying to do his job. All I can tell you, friend, is that a priestess of Umberlee has been killin' my friends. I guess we are kinda at fault though; we did kill her mother, but hey, she had it comin'. |
| 6198 I am a Waveservant of Umberlee. I was orphaned recently by a pack of greedy fishermen. My life is devoted to my goddess. |
| 6199 We are to allow no entrance to the barracks, by order of Angelo Dosan, brevet-commander of the Flaming Fist. |
| 6200 Though it is my duty to guard this entrance, since you are a friend, I guess I could let you through. |
| 6201 It's you adventurers again! Well, if you want in, it'll be a copper piece a person. |
| 6202 Sorry, we can't pay. We don't believe in buying things. |
| 6203 Here's your gate tax! |
| 6204 Talos curse thee for attacking us! |
| 6205 Gee, ye're purty, kinda like the boys back at the barracks. Me an' you should git to know each other real well, heh heh. |
| 6206 Gee, ye're purty, kinda like the boys back at the barracks. Me an' you should git to know each other real well, heh heh. |
| 6207 We're just soldiers. Our duty is to our city and to our people. I doubt there is any knowledge we possess that you would find useful. |
| 6208 A really... beat-up pair of... bracers. The ones I... the ones I had locked in... the safe? |
| 6209 YES, that was it! I thought you wouldn't mind because you had mentioned getting rid of them. I figured they might not be worth it for you to keep them, but an inexper Ahem, a young mage like myself could probably glean some use out of them. |
| 6210 The bracers... Oh, you little fool. If you recall, I was not going to get rid of them. I was going to DISPOSE of them. There is a large difference, especially considering what they were. |
| 6211 You put them on, didn't you? Of course you would; how could you know? Melicamp... Those were a vain little souvenir that I carried with me out of someplace far more evil and wretched that I hope you are never to see. 'Twas so long ago, and I don't know why I took them. They belonged to Blast it, Melicamp, I don't know if I can change you back! |
| 6212 But they were just rusty old bracers. I'm surprised you kept them as long as you did. |
| 6213 We're just soldiers. Our duty is to our city and to our people. I doubt there is any knowledge we possess that you would find useful. |
| 6216 You're the best customers I've had in a long time. I hope all of you come back often! |
| 6217 What exactly ARE these things, and why are you so frightened? |
| 6218 Sorry for interrupting, but would these bracer things be worth a lot? If we manage to change him back, of course. Just, ahem, curious. |
| 6219 Emerson |
| 6220 Why, yes, mercenary, they might be considered priceless to some. As priceless as any value you can place on suffering or pain. I may know a scholar or two that would give their mothers for them, but 'tis not enough. It could never be enough. It really doesn't matter at this point regardless, as the damage is done and they have most likely disappeared. They have teleported away in the past after use, and 'twas but sheer luck alone that returned them to me. |
| 6221 They are a relic of my adventuring days, and a monument to the years I spent enslaved beneath... beneath where, I cannot say. 'Twas foolish to be anywhere near a Netherese ruin, but I was young and stupid once as well. I was entrapped. I will say no more about that. I escaped, and brought what I could. The bracers remain a mystery, and I have no idea their true function. In the past I have seen them wielded for horrific purpose, but any HUMAN that put them on was instantly killed as often as not. That Melicamp is alive is amazing. Beyond that minor triumph, the outlook is bleak. |
| 6222 Then make me understand. What is so terrible about them? |
| 6223 Nalin |
| 6224 I don't need to understand. It's enough to know they are valuable. We will find a way to get them back. |
| 6225 Brage |
| 6226 They are no unit of currency! They are a plague to be avoided! You would do well to understand things before you blindly slap them on! |
| 6227 Oublek |
| 6228 As a good friend, how 'bout I play you some music? |
| 6229 Since you're now my best friend, you can go anywhere you want! I don't care! |
| 6230 I hope your stay here has been pleasant so far. |
| 6231 Your champion lost. Now you must all die! |
| 6232 You beat Ludrug! You may pass; you must be great warriors. |
| 6233 Yes! I'll pay! Just leave me to go on my way! |
| 6234 20 gold is a little steep, don't you think? I mean, do I look like I have that kind of coin in abundance? |
| 6235 Okay, 10 gold is a little more reasonable. I'll pay you that and be on my way. |
| 6236 Still too much, I think. I'd rather just take a long route around. |
| 6237 I am a bounty hunter of great repute. Bounties have been good these past few weeks, what with all the bandits roaming about. All I can tell you is this: The bandits who have been moving about seem rather organized, as if they have a purpose. I'd take a gander that the purpose was to stop any iron from gettin' to Baldur's Gate. |
| 6238 Okay, we'll come with you. |
| 6239 You'll have to take us by force! |
| 6240 Okay, okay, we'll come along peacefully. |
| 6241 There's no way we're coming with you! |
| 6242 I'm yer best friend now! But don't ya go and get into trouble, 'cause friend or no, I'd be forced to take ya in. |
| 6243 What do you mean by bleak? There must be something that can be done for him. |
| 6244 So these ancient bracers are enormously powerful with unknown enchantments, and this chicken is the result? Gee, let me think on that one. No, I think not. |
| 6245 Now that you're my friends, I should tell you something: The gem I own is cursed. It'll do really bad things to ya. |
| 6246 I'm just a happy-go-lucky halfling. I really don't know much! |
| 6247 Bleak or not, we must find a way to transform him back. |
| 6248 Caldo |
| 6249 Quit your blubbering! We were attacked and had to defend ourselves. |
| 6250 It was all an illusion! These are paladins and knights of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. I know this man, Ajantis. He was a noble man, but now is dead by our hand. |
| 6251 As did I, Anomen. |
| 6252 Yeslick |
| 6253 Tiax |
| 6254 Eldoth |
| 6255 There is only one option open to us. We must track down the one who played this foul trick upon us and extract our stolen honor from his cursed hide. |
| 6256 Faithless fool! You do not understand the import of this event. Innocents were slain by our hand, and we are now cursed as forever dishonorable. |
| 6257 What do you mean by innocents? We slew ogres. |
| 6258 You are wrong. I care not for the opinions of others. No one is permitted to judge me. |
| 6259 Greetings. I am Edwin Odesseiron. You simians may refer to me merely as "sir" if you prefer a less... syllable-intensive workout. |
| 6260 Edwin! Don't you recognize me? It's <CHARNAME>. |
| 6261 A Thayvian Red Wizard? I'd rather work amongst filth and slop than the Red Scourge. |
| 6262 Mae'Var told us that you would have need of our services to complete a mission on your behalf. |
| 6263 The past hardly matters. The company you currently keep now limits your use. No matter, I shall make this transaction as quick and bloodless as possible. |
| 6264 You've no choice in the matter. Mae'Var is my benefactor, I his trusted emissary. His left hand may never know what his right hand does, but I do, for I am it. |
| 6265 Rayic Gethras is his name. His house is a gray three-story behind a fence along the westward wall of the Docks District. If he is home, his door will be open. |
| 6266 If what you say is true, then we have done a terrible thing. Illusion or not, innocents have died and we are responsible. What do we do now? |
| 6267 When you find Rayic Gethras, kill him. Question him beforehand if you like. Any insight into the Cowled Wizards is useful. A little torture would soften him. |
| 6268 Murder? Torture? We have no desire to commit such acts. |
| 6269 Consider it done. |
| 6270 Odd. Given your lineage, I would have thought you capable of anything. (Damned, I wish they would just do as I say.) |
| 6271 No matter. I still refuse. |
| 6272 Lineage? What do you know of my heritage, Edwin? What are you privy to? |
| 6273 Don't worry, I'll still do it. I just wanted to register my disapproval. |
| 6274 A refusal may jeopardize your relationship with Mae'Var. Perhaps that is your intent? I begin to wonder if you are so dedicated to this place. (Yes, wonder.) |
| 6275 Sorry, I still refuse. |
| 6276 Fine then. I'll look into the job. Though I will perform no senseless murder. |
| 6277 Hull's Long Sword |
| 6278 (By the shabby look of <PRO_HIMHER>, it was a pairing of barnyard proportions.) I meant nothing, I assure you. I merely ask that you reconsider. |
| 6279 Getting inside the palace in Suldanessellar Irenicus is apparently inside the palace and has sealed the gates with his magic. Queen Ellesime is also within, as is the Tree of Life... This must be Irenicus's true target. |
| 6280 No dice. Not a chance. |
| 6281 We've little else on the go, so yes, we will undertake your mission. |
| 6284 Good. Don't linger about then, get going! (Ugh, motivating these sloths is like pulling teeth.) |
| 6287 Now you are just being foolish. You will have even less value to the guild if you refuse this simple request. (Hmm, I pictured this with much more obedience.) |
| 6288 Madulf and the village make an arrangement A peaceful arrangement has been set up between Madulf and his fellow deserters and the village of Imnesvale. The deserters will protect the village, and the village will allow them to live in peace and perhaps even trade with them once in a while. Overall, a satisfactory arrangement. |
| 6289 We'll do it, but I will attempt a less horrific solution than your suggestion of torture. |
| 6290 Get someone else to do your dirty work, coward. |
| 6291 Two can keep a secret if one is dead! Prepare for the final judgment! |
| 6292 (My lackeys return, and none too soon.) Has the Cowled fool been disposed of? |
| 6293 Yes. He's pushing up daisies as we speak, Edwin. |
| 6294 No, I haven't killed the damned wizard yet. |
| 6295 I've changed my mind about killing Rayic Gethras. |

| 6300 These are the prisoners from the disturbance at Waukeen's Promenade. |
| 6301 I don't believe you. |
| 6302 This task is the simple retrieval of some crucial documents, and you must be as discreet as possible. (As if these club-footed fools will manage.) |
| 6303 What are these documents? Why so secretive? |
| 6304 Certainly we'll get your documents. How tough could it be? |
| 6305 No thanks. I don't like the sound of this. |
| 6306 The contents of the document are not your concern. Ask no questions you do not need to know answers to. |
| 6307 Not going to happen, Edwin. Find another stooge. |
| 6308 Fair enough. I'll be on my way then. |
| 6309 Kobold |
| 6310 Your stubbornness is tiring. Know that to refuse is to show yourself as an outsider. You are being evaluated even as I speak. |

| 6319 Since you put it like that, I'm on my way. It's only a simple theft, after all. |
| 6320 Don't throw your life away over minor political documents from the Night Knives. Mae'Var is entitled to them; the Knives are apparently his secretive allies. |
| 6321 Get someone else to clean up your mess, Edwin. The answer is still no. |
| 6322 Now my curiosity is piqued. I'm at your service. Show me the way. |
| 6323 Bow |
| 6324 You will find the documents on a merchant named Marcus. He may be found at the Sea's Bounty. |
| 6325 Aye, I had heard Ajantis speak of you. You know what we must do then? |
| 6326 Obviously, we must make amends. But how shall we do so? |
| 6327 I do not believe that we have to do anything. We thought that they were ogres when we killed them. |
| 6328 Arrow |
| 6330 Finding Irenicus in Hell A demon gave me a sword, "Blackrazor," saying it is the only way to defeat a powerful creature who holds the Tear of Bhaal I seek. |
| 6333 Though dishonor seems to fit you like a well-worn cloak, I do not have the luxury that your lack of morals allows you. We must track down the one who has enacted this ruse! |

| 6357 Yes, the documents have been secured. |
| 6358 No, I haven't left to retrieve them yet. |
| 6359 What is the delay? This must be dealt with quickly! Go, and do not return without them. |
| 6360 Marvelous work, marvelous work. You've obviously exceeded your lowborn heritage and surged to the vanguard of goonery! |
| 6361 What goes on here? I've seen many a strange thing in my time, but the events of the past few moments tops them all. Who are you that can change shape so readily, and why have you slain these beasts that become men? |
| 6362 My name is <CHARNAME>. What do you imply, friend? What did you see? |
| 6363 The Night's Gift +5 |
| 6364 It appears that I have been tricked into killing these knights! |
| 6365 Orc Leather +3 |
| 6366 Well, you have surpassed the exceedingly low expectations I had of you. You now have the trust of Mae'Var securely in hand and have proven your competence to me once more (though just barely). |
| 6367 I know why you are here, mashing your lips on Mae'Var's boots, and it's nothing to do with stipends or wages or other guild business. |
| 6368 Armor of Deep Night +4 |
| 6369 Armor of the Viper +5 |
| 6370 What? I have no idea what you're talking about, Edwin, and I don't care to. |
| 6371 Shadow Dragon Scale |
| 6372 I admit I have come to spy on Mae'Var. What exactly do you want of me? |
| 6373 I wonder if I saw what I think I saw. You were all ogres fighting, yet deaths yielded human bodies. Now there are no monsters, only you and these slain knights. |
| 6374 It appears that I have been tricked into killing these knights! |
| 6375 You must excuse me if I do not accept your version of the events. Are you mad? |
| 6376 That is the conclusion I've come to, though the priests of Helm will not believe what has happened. They will seek justice, and only your heads will suffice. |
| 6377 That is dire news indeed. What do you suggest that we do? |
| 6378 You are merely a nameless observer. I've no cause to believe you. |
| 6379 <CHARNAME>, do not be rude to this man. He is the only witness that we have to show that we did not murder these knights in cold blood. |
| 6380 You have a point, Anomen. I will hear this man out. |
| 6381 Should I wish to hear your opinion, I will ask for it. |
| 6382 Do not let your predilection for idiocy cloud your judgment this day. When the Order hears of this, we shall be hunted outlaws with no place to hide ourselves. |
| 6383 Don't insult my intelligence! (As if they could comprehend it!) If you wish to maintain this lie, then I will be forced to confront Mae'Var with my suspicions. |
| 6384 I know what I'm doing, Anomen. Quiet yourself. |
| 6385 I will hear this man out. |
| 6386 Yes, we've come to spy on Mae'Var. What do you want, Edwin? |
| 6387 I'm taken aback by these crass insinuations. I'll not admit anything to the likes of you. |
| 6388 Despite your manner, I have sympathy. You were tricked, and I doubt the priests of Helm will believe it. They will seek justice, and only your heads will suffice. |
| 6389 That is dire news indeed. What do you suggest that we do? |
| 6390 You are merely a nameless observer. I've no cause to believe you. |
| 6391 You should listen to your friend. I suspect that I might be your only hope for getting out of this with your honor restored and your head on your shoulders. |
| 6392 A pity. I have little choice but to present your head to Mae'Var in the hopes it will advance my own situation. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 6393 As it happens, I know where we can find damning evidence of Mae'Var's betrayal of Renal Bloodscalp. That is your purpose here, isn't it? (Yes, I thought so.) |
| 6394 Mae'Var is fully aware of the penalty if the Shadow Thieves learn of his plan. It would be disastrous, both for his ambitions and his continued breathing. |
| 6395 You'll find the proof you require in Mae'Var's quarters. I conveniently have a key that opens his strongbox. I plan to be on the winning side in this affair. |
| 6396 Darkmail +3 |

| 6398 Very well. I shall hear what you have to say. |
| 6399 I will not listen to either of you. |
| 6400 Do as you wish, but understand, however, that the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart will alert authorities in the region and you will be arrested or killed. |
| 6401 I am Garren Windspear, once lord of this land. I have dealt with the Radiant Heart over the years, and I can tell you that they will seek your arrest or death. |

| 6403 The drow summoning ritual I have given Phaere the real silver eggs... I had little choice... and she has gone on to the temple of Lolth and commanded me to follow. |
| 6405 The drow summoning ritual An imp claiming to come from the silver dragon appeared, telling me that in order for me to be able to flee the city with the eggs, Matron Ardulace must first be killed. Doing so will only leave me minutes to get out of the city before my disguise is revealed by the angry Handmaidens of Lolth. No doubt my chance will come during the ritual... cutting it close, indeed. |
| 6407 She will trouble you no more. |

| 6414 I suggest that you take sanctuary with me until you can discover how this unfortunate event came to pass. |
| 6415 I shall be honored to accept your hospitality. |
| 6416 I do not need your charity. |
| 6417 Would you require my peerless skill and finesse to break into Mae'Var's suite? As you know well, my magical skills are supreme. |
| 6418 We aren't going to do it. Mae'Var is a likeable rogue who's never betrayed us. |
| 6419 Ashen Scales +2 |
| 6420 I'll retrieve the documents, but I don't need you. |
| 6421 Certainly. We could use your help gaining entrance to his room. |
| 6422 Armor of Faith +3 |
| 6423 Don't be foolish. I have seen the maneuvering you have done. Mae'Var is out of favor. If you ally yourselves with his lost cause, you'll suffer the same fate! |
| 6424 Oh well. Say what you will, but we remain loyal to Mae'Var. |
| 6425 Fair enough. I'll go along with your plan. You stay here though. |
| 6426 Finding Irenicus in Hell I have followed Irenicus unwillingly to the Hells, tethered to him by the soul that he holds. We are neither completely alive nor completely dead, but we both hold power over this place in which Bhaal once ruled. My own perceptions have conjured up tests of myself, tests which led me to know myself better and brought me closer to finding my soul. And I have; it rests in the body of Irenicus, who has been preparing for my arrival. We are on equal footing here. I only hope that I have the power to wrest my soul from his grasp once and for all. I feel that I must heed the warning that the demon gave me as well... the Tears of Bhaal also sting. With hope, they will sting Irenicus and not myself, for I must use every advantage that I can. |
| 6427 Finding Irenicus in Hell I have made my way through the path I chose, and the Tear of Bhaal is mine. My companion, however, was destroyed agonizingly in the process. This seemed to have some meaning to the demon, although I know not what. |
| 6428 I'll go along with your scheme, and I'd like you to join the group as well. |
| 6429 I have heard the Shadow Thieves have a dastardly torture they use on traitors. They scoop the eye socket, making certain to do no damage to the nerves inside. |
| 6430 Follow behind me. My cabin is but a short distance south of here. I will meet you there. |
| 6431 A wise decision, lout. We should go to Mae'Var's room promptly. It's on the floor below this one. I have the key that will let us into his strongbox. |
| 6432 This is not an offer to be ignored. We shall find no better sanctuary than that of this man, Garren. Let us base our investigation from his cabin. |
| 6433 Wanna go kill that over there? C'mon, let's kill somethin'! |
| 6434 Wow! Hot butta! |
| 6435 You feel lucky, punk? |
| 6436 Finding Irenicus in Hell I have made my way through the path I chose, and the Tear of Bhaal is mine. The innocent man, however, was destroyed agonizingly in the process. This seemed to have some meaning to the demon, although I know not what. |
| 6437 Finding Irenicus in Hell I have made my way through the path I chose, and the Tear of Bhaal is mine. I have been harmed dearly by my choice, but my companion is largely unharmed, gladly. This seemed to hold some significance for the demon, although I know not what. |
| 6438 Finding Irenicus in Hell I have made my way through the path I chose, and the Tear of Bhaal is mine. I have been harmed dearly by my choice, but the innocent man is largely unharmed, gladly. This seemed to hold some significance for the demon, although I know not what. |
| 6441 Oooh, I'm shaking! Hahaha! |
| 6442 Oooh, throw a coin in that fountain! Hahahahaha! |
| 6443 Finding Irenicus in Hell I encountered a demon who encouraged me to use my prowess to enter a cavern and wrest the Tear of Bhaal from a terrible creature. I have no problem with that; if I am truly a master of this place, I shall defeat whatever stands in my way. |
| 6445 Perhaps you are correct. We shall go with Garren. |
| 6446 I'll take my chances. |
| 6447 Cernd's child I refused to help Cernd fight Deril. It did not go well. |
| 6448 Fortune smiles upon us. With this selfless act, we could restore some small part of our stolen honor. Helm has not forgotten us! |
| 6449 The door is sealed, and nothing short of the power of a god can open it now. The temple of Rillifane may hold the key. |
| 6450 Gee, it turns out it wasn't locked after all. |
| 6452 Methinks it would be wise to rescue this child of Garren's. We must not let an opportunity to restore some measure of our honor pass. |
| 6453 Bolt of Polymorphing |

| 6455 I concur. We shall rescue Garren's child. |
| 6456 You are a fool to attack me, and for that you shall die. |
| 6457 The character is equipped with items in invalid Quick Slots. These items will be dropped. |
| 6458 Is that the only reason that you wish to rescue Garren's child, Anomen? To restore your precious honor? |
| 6459 Only <CHARNAME> may use the Tear of Bhaal. |
| 6460 No, it is not. The child was kidnapped most evilly. We should begin our journey and find the heart of this evil and save the child. |
| 6461 I am afraid any sort of appeal before the council is absolutely impossible at the moment. The council is not in session at this time of year. |
| 6462 I will not be dragged into an affair that is not of my making. |
| 6463 Excellent! We should begin our journey and find the heart of this evil. |

| 6481 Aeger's Hide +3 |
| 6482 I find that I must protest your apparent lack of concern for our situation. The child of Garren Windspear languishes in the clutches of evil. We must save the child should we ever hope to restore our good name. |
| 6483 The Burning Earth +1 |
| 6485 During the days of the avatars, the Lord of Murder will spawn a score of mortal progeny. These offspring will be aligned good and evil, but chaos will flow through them all. When the Beast's bastard children come of age, they will bring havoc to the lands of the Sword Coast. One of these children must rise above the rest and claim their father's legacy. This inheritor will shape the history of the Sword Coast for centuries to come... |

| 6487 Why does a chair have arms and legs like a man but cannot walk or hold things? |
| 6494 These are the correct papers. Take them to Bloodscalp and his guardsman will start on Mae'Var's extremities within the hour. |
| 6495 It is our Great Work, the Red Way. And that Way would serve this party in good stead. |
| 6496 Getting inside the palace in Suldanessellar The priestess Reirra told me that the avatar of Rillifane must be summoned to defeat the monsters in the city, and also to remove the seal on the palace gates. There are three relics that have been stolen by monsters and scattered throughout the city, and they must be returned to the temple and placed on Rillifane's statue in order for the avatar to be summoned. |
| 6497 That sounds great, Edwin, but we don't have a need for your services. |
| 6498 Join us, Edwin, and let others fear our name. |
| 6499 We shall save Garren's child at the first opportunity. |
| 6500 I am well aware of your opinion on the matter. Be silent and I will get to it. |
| 6501 Getting inside the palace in Suldanessellar The black dragon that Irenicus apparently rode to Suldanessellar on is outside of the city to the northwest. |
| 6502 It would be well for the opportunity to present itself immediately. |
| 6503 I cannot be silent if you choose not the righteous path. Do not lead us into evil, <CHARNAME>. We must rescue the child soon. |
| 6504 I believe that it would be wise for us to travel to the cabin. This place is our only sanctuary against the tide that we shall surely face should we return to more civilized lands. |
| 6505 The incriminating documents in Mae'Var's room are beckoning... perhaps it's time to heed their call (or find another group with more sense of time). |
| 6506 How could Garren help us? |
| 6509 The hunt for Valygar Corthala I attempted to misdirect Tolgerias in his search for Valygar, but the mage obviously detected my lie. He has stormed off, accusing me of betraying the wizards... something I shall no doubt feel repercussions for in the future. |
| 6511 I do believe that you are correct. We should make our way there now. He said that it was just north of the battlefield, did he not? |
| 6512 You've found the proper documents. Now you've only to gain a private discourse with Renal Bloodscalp! Yes, then the matter will be well in hand. |
| 6513 No, these are not them! Continue your scouring. (I swear, I should have hired a team of monkeys for this.) |
| 6514 The time to slay the betrayer is upon us! We must be swift, else the Shadow Thieves mark us for death in Mae'Var's stead. This would be bad, understand? |
| 6515 I remember something of this place... There are soothsayers and conjurers that whisper in hushed tones about an artifact lost to antiquity... (but not so lost to a perceptive mage). |
| 6516 We must return to our delving in the graveyard. The Nether Scroll... think of it! (Yes, just think of it.) The written word of the creator races... (It should be mine.) |
| 6517 This is it. This must be it. This has to be it! The just and unjust alike will all fear the overwhelming power of Edwin Odesseiron and his Nether Scroll! |
| 6518 (Yes... yes this will be a great help.) Of course, I shall put it to the best use of the group. Mark my words. (Yes, mark them well.) But you'll not see the scroll... it's mine! |
| 6519 Touch the scroll, pull back a stump. (Head, limb, leg... your choice.) I will use this for the benefit of the group, I assure you. (Yes, I assure you of that.) But no one reads it but me. |

| 6526 Flame Tongue +1: The Burning Earth There was a time before Neverwinter was warm and before the great Anauroch was dry... or so it is said. Few relics remain to prove such an age existed, and fewer still have an identifiable purpose. "The Burning Earth" seems straightforward enoughâ€â€it burns a victim with magical fire, and a cryptic rune seems to suggest that the power comes from the ground itselfâ€â€but whomever constructed it remains a mystery. It looks a perfectly serviceable weapon, but something in the balance or grip is... wrong. It strains the forearm a touch, and does not fit the hand just right. It doesn't seem to hurt a warrior's performance, aside from the nagging doubt that the blade was not made for <PRO_HIMHER>... or any other humanoid.

| 6535 The drow summoning ritual I gave the real dragon eggs to Matron Ardulace, proof of Phaere's treachery, and she has called for Phaere to be brought before her. |
| 6538 Nalia abducted by Isaea Roenall I encountered Dirth, who was obviously the slaver that Barg told me he was. The man started a fight foolishly, and I found on his body a transaction ledger that is quite incriminating. I am not sure that this alone will be enough to sink Isaea, however. |
| 6542 The final battle with Bodhi While I had feared for some time that Bodhi's final revenge on me would be to take away Anomen forever, it seems that the information in the lorebook was right... Amaunator's idol has restored Anomen not only to life, but has removed the vampiric curse from him as well. |
| 6545 The drow summoning ritual I attempted to offer the silver dragon eggs up to the demon myself in return for what would probably have been greater services than anything the dragon could have given me. Certain self-righteous members of my party, however, decided to interfere... and the demon grew impatient and left. That means I not only have to deal with my party, I also have only a couple of minutes to flee the city before my disguise is discovered. |
| 6549 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded After telling Nalia I could not help her with her family's keep, she stormed off to deal with the problem on her own. I doubt that she'll be back anytime soon. |
| 6550 The dueling families of Trademeet Lady Lilith Lurraxol was quite pleased with the killing of Lord Skarmaen and has rewarded me for the deed. Lord Logan Coprith, however, will likely not be so happy with my actions. |
| 6554 Recover the silver dragon's eggs Adalon was furious at the destruction of her eggs, as I suspected she would be. She attacked me on sight. |
| 6555 The final battle with Bodhi While I had feared for some time that Bodhi's final revenge on me would be to take away Aerie forever, it seems that the information in the lorebook was right... Amaunator's idol has restored Aerie not only to life, but has removed the vampiric curse from her as well. |
| 6556 Lavok is dead, the sphere returned The planar sphere has returned to our home plane, and I have fulfilled my end of the bargain by bringing Lavok outside of the sphere to die under his home sky. He passed peacefully and with little comment other than to thank me. |
| 6557 Inside the planar sphere I have encountered and defeated Lavok, only to discover that an evil force had inhabited his body. The dying Lavok is once again himself, openly regretful of his evil past. He wishes nothing more than to die under the skies of Faerûn. He said that when the sphere is entered, it automatically travels between the planes as a self-defense measure. To get back home, I have to go outside and find the heart of a demon, and then place it in the great golem that powers the sphere. While I hunt, Lavok will set the machine so that it will return to Faerûn. There is no other way home. |
| 6558 Viconia rescued from the fanatics I saved Viconia from a group of fired-up fanatics who had apparently discovered her in the city and were about to burn her at the stake. She told me that I will be able to find her in the Graveyard District if I have need of her later. |
| 6572 Riddle of the imps Apparently, I have solved the imps' riddle correctly and may now open the sixth chest while they protect me from... whatever is inside. |
| 6576 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Daleson mentioned that Lord de'Arnise may still be alive, possibly in a dungeon that the man had boarded up long ago. Apparently he was caught trying to collect the pieces to a flail, the heads of which he kept apart throughout the keep, although Daleson didn't know why. |
| 6582 The drow summoning ritual Perhaps allowing the ritual to be completed was a mistake... not only has the demon detected our presence and lowered our disguises, but we now have a hostile drow city and demon to face before we can even think about escaping. And then there will be an angry silver dragon to deal with as well... |
| 6583 Dealing with the Trademeet genies Guildmistress Busya said that the genies have taken over trade within Trademeet and will not leave until they find the rakshasa they are looking for. I have agreed to either find the rakshasa or kill the genies. Either way, Busya has promised to reward me. |
| 6584 Dealing with the Trademeet genies I have spoken to the djinn, led by Khan Zahraa, and agreed to bring back the head of the rakshasa Ihtafeer. The djinn implied that the shapechanging rakshasa was unlikely to be in Trademeet itself, rather somewhere nearby, perhaps preying on the locals. |
| 6585 Dealing with the Trademeet genies I have uncovered Ihtafeer the rakshasa posing as a potion-seller near the druid grove. |
| 6587 The prophecy of Sekolah The talk with Prince Villynaty has ended in a fight. Once I defeat him, I suppose all that will remain will be to return to King Ixilthetocal with his heart. |
| 6589 The final battle with Bodhi The elven sage has told me that he knows of no cure for vampirism... if I am to help my comrade be restored from Bodhi's curse, my only hope is to look amongst the amassed knowledge of the followers of Oghma. There is a temple in Athkatla that I might seek out. |
| 6590 The drow summoning ritual I gave Phaere the eggs that Solaufein had given me... and it seems that she has been fooled into thinking they are the real ones. The real eggs are still in my possession... and both Phaere and Matron Ardulace think they have the real eggs for the upcoming ritual. Phaere has gone onwards to the temple of Lolth and has commanded me to follow right away. |
| 6592 The dueling families of Trademeet I have agreed to enter a tomb here in Trademeet that apparently contains a gold circlet named the Mantle of Waukeen, which will prove Lady Lilith's claim of her family being the only true nobility in the town. She has given me a key to the tomb and warns me that it is haunted... I am to return with the circlet once I get it. |
| 6594 Cernd's child Cernd spoke to Fennecia, but she is obviously angry with him, saying only that his former wife, Galia, was dead. She won't say anything more with Cernd in the room. Perhaps if I spoke to her alone? |
| 6597 Garren's child dead Garren Windspear is inconsolable and furious. His child is dead, and the lord who tormented him is revealed to be an immensely powerful evil dragon. I can do nothing for him, despite all that he did for me after the death of the paladins. |
| 6601 Return to Valen's mistress with 15,000 gp I encountered the mistress that Valen spoke of, but she refused to deal with me as I do not have 15,000 gp... her price for dealing with me. She left, telling me to return to the Graveyard District to meet with her when I have 15,000 gp. |
| 6602 Bodhi's offer rejected Bodhi offered to let me join her guild, the one that has been warring with the Shadow Thieves. She told me that my current employers were the Shadow Thieves, and that they could not be trusted. She also offered to help me find Imoen, and at a significantly cheaper price than the Thieves. She hinted that my duties under her would be very bloody indeed. I didn't think I could trust her, and I didn't want to throw away what I have done so far. I turned her down, and now she is an enemy. She let me leave peacefully, accepting my decision, but stated quite matter-of-factly that we would meet again on less friendly terms. |
| 6603 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid I have found the Shadow Thieves and the shipment they were guarding. All that remains is to kill them, take the crate, and return to Bodhi with it. A simple enough task. |
| 6605 Meeting with Valen's mistress I have gone to the Graveyard District to meet the mistress of the woman who approached me earlier. The mistress introduced herself as Bodhi and stated that she talks with me here to avoid being overheard. I am to follow her closely... presumably to someplace more private. |
| 6606 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid I have agreed to work for Bodhi. She is the head of the "rival guild" that is facing off against the Shadow Thieves. She required far less coin than my current employers did. I am also to perform several services in undermining the Shadow Thieves, and once these are done, I will have her full aid in finding Imoen. These services may be bloody and harsh. Doing this means that the Shadow Thieves are now my enemies, and according to Bodhi, they will already know that I have turned against them. Fair enough. My first mission is to go down to the docks in the Docks District and find a shipment that is being guarded by Shadow Thieves. Once I obtain the shipment, I am to return to the crypts below in the Graveyard District and give it to Bodhi. Bodhi also mentions that despite its grim appearance, the crypts are a safe place to rest if I need it. |

| 6679 Splint mail is a variant of banded mail in which the metal strips are applied vertically to the backing of chain, leather, or cloth rather than horizontally as in banded mail.

| 6716 Mounted knights cannot effectively use long pole weapons while on horseback and, as a result, many weapons have been fitted with shorter shafts so they may be wielded with just one hand. Maces and flails are two examples of thisâ€â€the war hammer is another. The horseman's war hammer is the descendent of the Lucerne hammer. It is made entirely of steel, with rondels protecting and strengthening the grip. (Rondels are small disks of metal, often shaped into decorative designs.) The shaft is about eighteen inches long.

| 6737 Bastard Sword |
| 6738 Also known as the hand-and-a-half sword, the bastard sword derives its name from the fact that it is halfway between the two-handed sword and the long sword. The bastard sword has a double-edged blade and a long grip, which can accommodate both hands if preferred. The overall length of the bastard sword ranges between four feet and four feet ten inches.

| 6741 Long Sword |
| 6742 These swords are usually referred to as double-edged swords, war swords, or military swords. In many cases, the long sword has a single-edged blade. There is no single version of the long sword; the design and length vary from culture to culture and may vary within the same culture depending on the era. Among the most common characteristics of all long swords is their length, which ranges from thirty-five inches to forty-seven inches. In the latter case, the blade is known to take up forty inches of the total length. Most long swords have a double-edged blade and a sharp point at the tip. Despite the tip, the long sword is designed for slashing, not thrusting.

In the simplest of terms, a short sword can be considered a dagger with a blade so long that it can no longer be called a dagger. The term short sword does not exist in sword classifications. However, it has come to be used to describe a double-edged blade about two feet in length. The sword tip is usually pointed, ideal for thrusting.

| 6752 The two-handed sword is a derivative of the long sword. Weaponsmiths have always looked for ways to improve existing weapons. In an effort to improve the long sword, the blade was lengthened. Eventually, the handle had to be extended and two hands became necessary to properly swing the sword. The primary function of two-handed swords is cleaving mounted knights and breaking up pike formations.

| 6887 Go ahead, Edwin. A powerful mage is difficult to find, and of terrific benefit to all. |

| 6922 The dart is a small, easily concealable missile weapon that is thrown rather than fired from a bow or other launcher. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d3 (missile) Speed Factor: 2 Proficiency Type: Dart Type: One-handed Weight: 0 |
| 6923 This is blasphemy! An outrage against nature and order! I must redouble my efforts to cancel the hideous and deforming nature of this Nether scourge! |
| 6924 Holy Sword |
| 6925 Holy Sword (Alteration) Level: 4 Sphere: Combat Range: Touch Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 1 normal sword Saving Throw: None This spell enables the caster to create a magical sword very similar to the Holy Avenger that Paladins seek. This sword gives a +5 bonus to hit and a +5 bonus to damage. Also, the sword grants the caster temporary knowledge on how to wield it properly, so the caster does not receive any penalties for using this sword. |
| 6926 As Garren had said, he was once lord of these lands. Perhaps he has contacts of use. He must know something of this Lord Jierdan who seems to have set up the demise of our honor. |
| 6927 Dart +1 |
| 6928 Slay Living |
| 6929 Dart of Stunning |
| 6930 Slay Living (Necromancy) Level: 5 Sphere: Combat Range: Touch Duration: Special Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special Upon casting this spell, the priest has to touch an opponent in order to visit the effect upon them. An item is created upon casting. The next attack the priest makes, which must happen in the next 3 rounds, will use this item. If the first attack misses, the item disappears and the spell is wasted; however, if the attack succeeds, the victim automatically takes 2d6+9 damage. Also, <PRO_HESHE> must make a Save vs. Spell or be instantly killed. Slay Living can be dispelled if cast between the casting of this spell and the necessary attack. |
| 6931 Dart of Wounding |
| 6932 Edwin! You scared me, imagine that... Oh, you wouldn't believe how silly you look... Now whatâ€â€what do you want? |
| 6933 Inside the drow city I have acquired the svirfneblin patrol leader's helmet peacefully... and the drow need never know the difference. All I need to do now is return to Phaere in the Ust Natha tavern before she grows impatient. |
| 6934 Getting inside the asylum I got inside the guild house through the hiring of one of the courtesans... and at their hue and cry, the entire guild has been roused. Time to fight. |
| 6935 Hey hey hey, Edwina! I shall be your champion at the next tournament that we come to if only you give me a piece of your robe, uh, that is, dress to adorn my shield. |
| 6936 Fair Edwina, I am truly bereft by your nonacceptance. It is tragic when a knight has no fair maiden to moon over. Heh he he... |
| 6938 Greater Command |
| 6939 Greater Command (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 5 Sphere: Charm Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. As with the 1st-level spell Command, this spell enables the priest to command other creatures to "die" (sleep), except that the effects of this spell last 1 round per level of the caster. At the end of the round, the creature(s) awaken and are unharmed. The area of effect is similar to that of a Stinking Cloud or a Fireball. |
| 6940 Boo does not understand. It is not as though the scoundrel will be missed, but... where has Edwin gone, and who is this woman that wears his clothes? |
| 6941 Psst... Aerie! |
| 6943 The drow summoning ritual I revealed Phaere's treachery to Matron Ardulace by showing her the fake eggs Phaere gave me. She asked for the real ones and was fooled by the fakes that Solaufein gave me. The real eggs are still in my own possession. Ardulace believes me now and has called for Phaere to be punished. |
| 6945 Finding Irenicus in Hell The demon that holds the last of the Tears of Bhaal has made things clearer to me. In this place, this piece of Hell over which I hold power, things are not what they seem. My inner thoughts battle against Irenicus here. I search for him, and he seeks to obscure himself. But Irenicus has my soul... and the way to discover my soul is to know more of it. Hence the "tests" that I am putting myself through. With each, I grow closer to Irenicus's location, and soon the way to my soul will be clear. The idea that my subconscious is what gives this place form and summons these demons is disturbing. More so, perhaps, because it seems to happen so naturally. The demon also warned me that the Tears of Bhaal sting... Hell is a place of retribution. What it means by that, I do not know. |
| 6946 What?! Nothing! This is shameful and revolting! What are you pie-eyed vagrants gawking at? Staring at me with a plebeian vandal's charm! This is beyond treachery! |
| 6947 You are a wizard and a healer! Can you not peel this wretched skin? (She has driven me to it; I will debase myself if I must.) Please, Aerie, I am... on my knees! |
| 6948 He he he. Looks like you're in some trouble. And by the way, nice rack. |
| 6949 Edwin! Edwin! Calm down, calm down. We'll find a way to get you back to your original, not quite as pleasing to the eye shape. |
| 6950 If you're a woman, you've no place amongst us. |
| 6954 The drow summoning ritual With Phaere dead and Matron Mother Ardulace's ritual stopped in mid-casting, the drow's plans have been ruined. According to the silver dragon's imp, Ardulace must be killed so that the seal on Ust Natha is lifted... and then I must flee the city with the dragon's eggs as quickly as possible! |
| 6955 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid I have completed the task that Bodhi set me to: The merchant is dead and the items placed in his fountain, implicating the Shadow Thieves. Now I must return to Bodhi and tell her the deed is done. |
| 6956 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid It seems that my failure in Bodhi's second mission was not important... she tells me the idea was to alarm the Shadow Thieves and place them off-guard. Just as well. |
| 6957 What?! How dare you, scoundrel! Gawking at my mantle! (Hey, they aren't that bad, come to think of it... wait a moment. What happened to my... oh no. No. NO!) |

| 6999 The drow summoning ritual With the drow summoners dead and their plans ruined, I have sacrificed the silver dragon eggs to the demon in return for a service... he will lead me to the exit from the drow city and destroy everything that blocks my path. A fitting use of the drow's own magic. |
| 7001 The drow summoning ritual With the drow summoners dead and their plans ruined, I have traded the silver dragon's eggs to the demon in exchange for a powerful magical weapon. Now, however, I have only minutes in order to flee this city before my disguise is discovered... and with a likely hostile silver dragon hunting for me as well. |
| 7002 The final battle with Bodhi Bodhi appeared in an ambush shortly before I reached her haven, warning me that she was aware of my pursuit and stealing from me the one person that is dearest to my heart: Jaheira. Before she vanished and unleashed more of her undead creations upon me, Bodhi warned me that if I continue, I will lose even more than I thought possible. I cannot give up on the Rhynn Lanthorn... but now the life and immortal soul of the one I love is at stake as well! |

| 7012 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid I found Bodhi's man, Tizzak, who informed me the only way into Aran's inner sanctum is through two magical doors. The first is opened by pressing a button... which exists at the end of a trapped hallway to the north. The second is opened by a key... He did not know where it was, but suggested that a wizard named Haz might possess it. |
| 7013 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid My final task has been given to me by Bodhi, and it is to kill the Shadowmaster Aran Linvail. His lair lies beneath the Shadow Thief headquarters in the Docks District, accessible only through a secret door that cannot be picked, just inside the entrance on the right. The key for that door likely lies in the hands of my old contact Gaelan Bayle. I will need to retrieve the key from him first if I am going to be able to enter. Once inside, I must track down Aran's inner sanctum... perhaps with the help of a captured employee of Bodhi's named Tizzak... and kill him there. |
| 7014 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid I now have the key to Aran Linvail's lair beneath the Shadow Thief headquarters. Now it is time to go to the Docks District and confront the Shadowmaster personally. |

| 7020 The dueling families of Trademeet I recovered the Mantle of Waukeen from the tomb in Trademeet and gave it to Lord Logan instead of either of the families that wanted it. The reward was not as much, and both families are bound to be upset, but it was probably the right thing to do. |
| 7021 The dueling families of Trademeet Before I entered the tomb, Lord Logan approached me and asked that I give the Mantle of Waukeen to him once I retrieve it... for the sake of peace, if nothing else. He is not going to force me, however. |
| 7022 Helping Tiris in Trademeet After slaying Rejiek and Darsidian, I learned from Raissa that she too had been turned into a skin dancer. Apparently, Rejiek thought I was chasing him and had decided to change his identity. He and Darsidian had to change their plan when Tiris escaped. The only way to save Raissa now is to cast restoration on her. She suggested that the Waukeenar temple might have a scroll if I did not. Either way, she must receive the spell quickly or she will be permanently changed. |
| 7023 Helping Tiris in Trademeet The restoration spell seems to have done the trick... Raissa has returned to normal. I should go to Tiris and give him the good news. |
| 7024 Helping Tiris in Trademeet After slaying Rejiek and Darsidian, I found out from Raissa that she, too, had been turned into a skin dancer. Apparently, Rejiek thought I was chasing him and had decided to change his identity. He and Darsidian had to change their plan when Tiris escaped. I couldn't help Raissa and she fled... I suppose all that is left now is to tell Tiris what has happened. |

I should go and tell Tiris what has occurred. |

Saemon left before I could question him further. |

| 7075 Leaving the island Obviously, Saemon Havarian had ulterior motives for offering me passage to the Forest of Tethir. His ship has been disabled by Desharik, the Pirate Lord... and I have little doubt he knew that when he made the offer. He intends to steal Desharik's ship... and my part in this is to steal the horn that will open the sea gates. The horn is found at night in the home of Desharik's girlfriend, Cayia, which is to the west on the second tier. Once I have it, I must meet Saemon at the docks. A blade that seems to make him nervous, given from Irenicus himself, will sweeten the deal if we are done quickly. |
| 7076 Betrayed on the voyage back The silver sword that Saemon gave me had been stolen from the githyanki! No doubt he knew they would be searching for it! They tried to kill everyone as an example, but during the battle a sailor came up from below and said sahuagin were storming the ship... and that we were sinking! And Saemon has teleported away! Blast that conniving traitor! |

The effect adds 1 temporary Hit Point per level of the caster, adds 1 point of Strength every 3 levels of the caster (to a maximum of 25), and causes every successful hit to inflict maximum damage. The effects last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |

| 7085 Rescue Garren's child from Firkraag I have encountered Garren's child locked within a cell. The cell has a magical lock, apparently, and the key for it may be on a mage somewhere nearby. Garren's child also warned me that Firkraag is extremely dangerous and that it is not necessary for me to confront him... if I can, getting the key and freeing Garren's child will be enough. |

He left immediately for Calimshan. Anomen seems less than pleased. |
| 7090 Allies recruited for the struggle against Bodhi I asked Aran Linvail for the help of the Shadow Thieves against Bodhi, but he does not trust me enough, and the guild is too weak to give me any aid. His decision is certainly final. |

| 7096 Inside the drow city I am inside Ust Natha and have been assigned a drow commander, Solaufein, who does not appreciate my presence in the slightest. He says that I have aroused the interest of a matron mother, and I am to meet him and a "Handmaiden" at the entrance to the city to receive further instruction from her. I cannot stumble now that I am within... the slightest error on my part and the dark elves will discover what I truly am. Nothing would save me then. |

| 7122 The final battle with Bodhi While I had feared for some time that Bodhi's final revenge on me would be to take away Viconia forever, it seems that the information in the lorebook was right... Amaunator's idol has restored Viconia not only to life, but has removed the vampiric curse from her as well. |
| 7123 Leaving the island I got the horn that Saemon needed, but Desharik caught us before we could cast off. In the ensuing battle with his men, Saemon was killed... and that means that I have no way off the island. I shall have to reenter the asylum and find the magic portal that Saemon mentioned. It is my only hope. |

| 7147 The drow summoning ritual I have encountered Solaufein once again, who has apparently snuck back into the city to spy on Phaere. He thanked me for sparing him and gave me another copy of the silver dragon eggs... these ones even Phaere will not be able to distinguish from the real ones. |
| 7148 The drow summoning ritual Phaere has told me of Ardulace's plan in its entirety. The drow intend to invade the surface... to what end, I don't know. But Matron Ardulace's ritual is going to summon a great demon to aid the drow. The dragon eggs will be sacrificed to the demon in return for its service, and this will place House Despana in great favor with Lolth. Phaere intends to betray Matron Ardulace and has coerced me into helping her. She wants me to go to the Despana treasury (in Lolth's temple) and replace the silver dragon's eggs with fake eggs that Phaere has had made. Then when Ardulace offers the dragon the fake eggs, Phaere can step in with the real ones. I must be careful if I go to the treasury... killing the guards, if it is done, must be done discreetly if at all. And even once I get the eggs, the city has been sealed by Matron Ardulace... there is no escaping. I must continue to play along... for now. |

| 7163 Garren's child rescued Though Firkraag remains alive, Garren Windspear was thankful for the safe return of his child. The dragon is likely done with me, at least for now, and hopefully he will leave Garren alone as well. Garren offered me lodgings at his cabin should I ever be in the Windspear Hills area again. |
| 7166 Garren's child dead While Firkraag may be dead, nothing meant more to Garren Windspear than the safety of his child. The defeat of his enemy means little to him now that his child is gone. There is nothing I can do, despite all he has done for me. |
| 7167 Rescue Garren's child from Firkraag Inside Firkraag's dungeon, I have encountered a woman by the name of Samia... a relic hunter of sorts who is searching for texts relating to a dead Tethyrian king. I have agreed to take her key and find the texts she needs from the king's burial chamber... which is supposedly protected by a mysterious, invisible creature, the last of seven guardians, according to the legends. Once I have the texts, I am to return to Samia. |
| 7168 Samia's plan foiled Samia, the relic hunter in Firkraag's dungeon, was not what she seemed. She had sent me in to get the texts only to take them for herself with the aid of her companions and leave whoever aided her dead and buried. Fortunately, she paid for her arrogance. |
| 7169 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills I have encountered Anath, a werewolf. It spun a tale of a "Shade Lord" arisen from a ruined temple to the east that belonged to the antiquated sun god Amaunator, but is now an unholy place of darkness.

This Shade Lord killed her pack, turning them into shade wolves, and she claimed to desire nothing more than revenge against him.

| 7252 The transformation and the dream With Imoen's help, I have defeated Bhaal... my instinct. It was incredulous, but told me at the same time that my soul was weak and that it was gone... all that was left within me was my instinct. At the same time as it died, so did Imoen... perhaps that part of me that was my soul. I do not know. And then I awoke. |

If I fight it alone, win or lose, I will be killed. |

Irenicus had successfully taken my soul and stated that now both he and Bodhi were free of the curse which they had been subjected to... and that Imoen and I would both die a slow and withering death. What he plans to do next he would not say, but he left it to Bodhi to finish me off once and for all. |

| 7282 History of Durpar and Var the Golden: Durpar and Var the Golden share a common history. Over three thousand years ago, these countries were both subject to the great kingdom of Raurin. When Raurin fell in -2488 DR, the countries of Durpar and Var barely survived the destruction. Rioting, mass destruction, and hatred of nobility were rampant, and the two countries descended into barbarism for over two millennia. Finally, after most of the barbarian tribes were wiped out by the great empire of Mulhorand, a leader emerged. Satama, a mere trader, experienced a divine revelation and formulated a new philosophy: All things in the world were connected, were part of a single creation spirit, and all of the gods of the realms were merely parts of the same entity. Soon all the Shining Lands embraced the teachings of Satama, and the seeds of civilization were laid in what came to be known as the Lands of the One. Since the Lands of the One had many natural resources, trade with Mulhorand and Luiren became a way of life. Merchants were honored above all. In time, the Maharajah of Durpar and the Rajah of Var were replaced with a council of Merchants. During this time the land suffered occasional raiding attacks from the horsewomen of Dambrath, and had many skirmishes with the neighboring countries of Estagund and Ulgarth. In 1023 DR, after an armed peace had been worked out with Ulgarth, the council of merchants decided that something needed to done about the raiders from Estagund who were hurting trade with other countries. War was an inconvenience, but interrupting trade was life-threatening. Jeradeem, the richest merchant in the lands, was given power to negotiate a settlement. During these negotiations he proved, at least in the eyes of the Durparians, that he was indeed the master trader he seemed. Estagund had just tried a foolish invasion of Dambrath. The vengeful female leaders of that land wiped out nearly every able-bodied fighting man they sent. The monsters of Veldorn were causing problems, and Estagund was going through a famine. It was here that Jeradeem showed his fine merchant's instincts. He could not pass up such an advantage, and began bargaining the most outrageous trade of all time. He met with the leaders of Estagund, a fearful king and his nobles, and explained the advantages of Durparian life and the philosophy of the Adama, the oneness of all things. He bargained for days until finally the king made the trade. He purchased the whole of Estagund for the countries of Durpar and Var at the price of twenty four gems. He also promised protection, and help for their integration into the Durparian way of life. Thus were formed the Shining Lands. Within a hundred years, the three countries shared a common way of life, and with the added strength and resources of Estagund, Durparian merchants increased their trading range. They roamed as far east as Kara-Tur, as far north as the Sea of Fallen Stars, and west to Dambrath and Halruaa. At the present time, with the newly discovered lands of Maztica and Zakhara beckoning, the future looks bright. |
| 7283 History of Tethyr: For the past 1500 years, Tethyr has had a single, strong royal family ruling with absolute power. When a king died or became incapacitated, his oldest son took the throne. As the family trees of those close to power became more intertwined and complicated, there were the inevitable wars of succession and bickering over which second cousin was the "true" heir to the throne. Civil wars were brief, however, and once the fighting was over the system returned to normal (until the next major dispute in a few hundred years or so). The established recurring cycle was broken 10 years ago. The current ruling family had been in power for over 350 years, so long that they had dropped their own family name centuries ago (no one even remembers it now) and simply called themselves Tethyr. King Alemander IV was comfortably ruling from Castle Tethyr, and the country seemed happy enough, but there was a broad current of dissatisfaction among the people of Tethyr. Non-humans were forbidden by law to own land, and since most rights and privileges accorded citizens were based on land ownership, they became second-class citizens as well. Things were especially bad for elves, who were driven deep into the Forest of Tethir by royal armies. Alemander IV took land away from rightful owners and gave it to nobles who promised larger contributions to the royal treasury. These social and economic inequities, coupled with several harsh winters and bad harvests in a row, made the time ripe for a change. It takes more than just a couple of lousy winters to depose a king however; it takes treachery as well. In the case of the fall of House Tethyr it took an ambitious general and an impatient royal heir. Prince Alemander grew tired of waiting for the robust Alemander IV to make room for him, so he struck a deal with General Nashram Sharboneth, commander of the king's largest army. While Sharboneth marched his army toward Tethyr, bringing along a sizable group of angry peasants recruited with the promise of land reform, the would-be Alemander V downplayed alarming reports from the king's spies and advisors, silencing the most persistent permanently through murder or exile. By the time Sharboneth's army arrived and laid siege to Castle Tethyr, it was too late for loyalists to help. As Sharboneth launched a direct assault on the castle (using the expendable peasants as shock troops), a handful of elite soldiers let in a secret entrance by the prince would eliminate key guards and open the gates. At the same time, the prince (one of the few people allowed to see the king directly) would murder his father. A fire set by the elite troops would destroy evidence of treachery; the general and the prince would emerge from the conflagration and announce a new, joint government. The plan was executed perfectly, but only up to a point. Sharboneth double-crossed the prince; his men were much too efficient in setting the castle ablaze, and Prince Alemander (along with most of his fellow conspirators) died horribly in the fire. At about the same time, a spy planted on the general's inner staff by the equally duplicitous Alemander murdered the general and dissolved his body with a powerful acid before anyone could come to his aid. To make matters worse, everyone had underestimated the resentment the people felt for the royal family. Once Castle Tethyr began to fall there was no holding back the mob. In one night, the proudest, strongest castle in all the country was reduced to a smoking ruin. Everything of valueâ€â€fine tapestries, plates and silverware, furniture, jewelry, weapons, clothes, armor, paintings, statues, etc.- was either stolen, burned, or just ripped apart and stomped into the dust. As news of the fall of the royal family spread, so did the chaos. In what is now known as the "Ten Black Days of Eleint," anyone known (or even suspected) of blood connection to the royal family was put to the sword. This led to some darkly humorous moments, as social climbers who had bragged just a week before of being a sixth cousin twice removed of a royal aunt tried in vain to convince an angry mob that they were "only kidding." The nobles who were the biggest supporters of the royal family also came under attack, and some baronial keeps fell. Local leaders who had adequately distanced themselves from the Tethyr family, or were popular enough (or feared/strong enough), survived. These surviving nobles became the initial players in the fight to decide the fate of Tethyr. One thing was certain; any leader or type of government that too closely resembled rule under the Tethyrs would not be accepted. "Royalist" became a dirty word in Tethyr society. The power struggle continues to this day, and there is no sign of it ending anytime soon. |
| 7284 History of Amn: Amn has the good fortune to have abundant natural resources; some would say Amn is the richest land on the continent. This has worked in Amn's favor for generations, because even if they were conquered, the new masters would be gentle, looking to gain wealth from the land, rather than to put it to the torch. Amn has been a center of trade and commerce for as long as anyone can remember. Oral traditions handed down from father to son tend to support the theory that Amn has been a trade center for at least 800 years. Unfortunately, written records are difficult to find and often incomplete. It would seem the typical Amnian citizen was too busy trying to fill their coffers to write down events of the day. Amn has always been more interested in the present and the future than the past, and this makes an accurate history difficult. The best records, the business papers of the oldest trading companies, are jealously guarded. The fear of revealing "trade secrets" is stronger than the call of history, so the average citizen knows very little about Amn's past. It appears that the Amn of 100 years ago was very much like the Calimshan of today. Each major city was basically an independent entity, banding together for defense when necessary, and fighting for control of territory and profitable trade routes the rest of the time. A particularly brutal trade war began 24 years ago, with each city exacting prohibitive tariffs on goods imported from the others. The trade war escalated, and city troops began to raid caravans sponsored by other cities. In a matter of months commerce was brought to a halt, a number of cities were under siege, and war threatened to engulf the entire region. Into the breach stepped a young merchant named Thayze Selemchant. Thayze was smart, charismatic, and very well connected (the Selemchant trading house was one of the oldest and richest in Athkatla.) He secretly contacted representatives of the five other richest merchant houses in Amn, and started to plan. The first part of the plan involved the careful sprinkling of rumors about outside threats. One involved a pirate invasion from the Nelanther, another was about a massing of orcs just on the other side of the Cloud Peaks. Thayze even started a rumor about an elf army in the Forest of Tethir, ready to pounce on a divided Amn. None of the rumors were true, but they began to turn people's thoughts toward unity, not war. Thayze knew that if he and the other members of his council were to take control of Amn, they would need broad-based popular support. Tensions between cities and merchant houses were still high, so to get that support, Selemchant and the others agreed to drop their family names and never use them again. When news of a "Council of Six" spread throughout the land, many people accepted their rule. A group that would unite Amn under one rule, governing for the benefit of all instead of one city or trading company over another, was indeed a welcome change. The council raised an army (at great personal expense) to quell the few pockets of resistance that remained, and have been in total control of Amn for the past 22 years. |
| 7285 History of Calimshan: Calimshan is older than either of the other Empires of the Sands, first settled over 7,000 years ago by the Djen, a humanoid race from the Elemental Plane of Air. These Djen were known to be very magical, and during the course of their rule they developed many new spells previously not available in the Plane of Air. The Djen prospered for over 1,000 years in Calimshan, but their reign was ended by an invasion of creatures and minions from the Plane of Fire. Some say this is where the bitter hatred between djinni and efreeti started, though others contend this was just a result of a hatred that was already there. Whatever the cause, the battle was long and bloody, and took over 100 years to complete. The Djen finally routed the attackers, but were greatly weakened in the attempt. They slowly declined, and the last mention of the Djen is just under 6,000 years old. For the next 4,000 years Calimshan was dominated by nomadic tribes of humans. Tribes from various placesâ€â€Chult, the Shaar, The Shining Plains, Chondath, even Amn and Cormyrâ€â€took turns dominating, only to be conquered by the next, nearly identical tribe. Slowly, the nomadic nature of Calimshan began to change. As explorers and traders from Amn, Waterdeep, and Cormyr discovered the wonders of the area, some tribes began to settle down and develop new means of support, like fishing, farming, or trading. These communities began to band together for mutual protection, and soon a civilization was born. It was only 1,300 years ago that the Shoon Empire (now called Iltkazar) came into being. The Shoons were a grand and glorious empire, and their excesses were the foundation of Calishite snobbery today. They grew wise and powerful in the ways of magic, and ships and caravans bearing the Shoon flag traveled across the realms. Shoon himself, a particularly powerful mage, created a book of great power during this time called the Tome of the Unicorn. The exact location of the Tome has been lost in time, but since the book is 2' by 3' and made of pure metal, it is likely to still be around... somewhere. 900 years ago the Shoon empire abruptly vanished. A great magical upheaval was suspected at first, but learned mages of other lands dispute the claim. A force that great they say, would have disturbed magical powers and beings throughout the realms, and that didn't happen. Sages who have studied the Shoon at great length have reached no definite conclusions, but the most popular theories today center around a plague or disease that decimated the population. Today, the Shoon impact on Calimshan is still great. The grandeur of that empire is responsible, more than anything else, for the strong national character of Calimshan today. The ruins of the Shoon's greatest city, Monrativi Teshy Mir, can still be found in the wilderness to the west of the edge of the Forest of Mir (see below for more on Monrativi Teshy Mir). Since the fall of Shoon, no force or people has risen to solely dominate the land. There are a half dozen or so major cities, each of which exerts its own power over its own area. About 170 years ago, a man in Calimport amassed a large army and declared himself "Pasha" over the land. Before that army could march, however, the representatives of each major city met and agreed to recognize the Pasha's authority in limited areas, and to pay a small tribute to him; enough to pay for the works the Pasha was expected to do. The oldest son of each pasha inherits the title; if there is no son, the mayors of each large city select a new one. The current Pasha, Rashid Djenispool, has ruled for over 18 years, and is the grandson of a pasha elected by the mayors of Calimshan 44 years ago. |
| 7286 History of Estagund: Estagund history follows a different path than those of Durpar and Var. The Gunders were conquered in 551 DR by Reinhar I, warchief of the Arkaiuns of Dambrath. Estagund regained its independence when Reinhar was slain by the Halruaan archmage Mycontil, though the country soon degenerated into a group of small independent city-states. Skirmishes with Var, and between the city-states, continued for several centuries until a king once again united the country. King Bornial was a skilled ruler, and under him Estagund began to prosper. His descendants did not share his wisdom, and in 1053 DR, King Selkarin more than illustrated this. He had failed to conquer Durpar, and Veldorn resisted his challenges. An avowed misogynist, Selkarin turned his attentions to the matriarchy of Dambrath. He led a large fleet to attack Dambrath, taking extreme losses, including his own life. Selkarin died childless, so his brother Seltarir was crowned King. The new ruler faced a country with most of its fighting men gone, and an unforeseen problem: famine. The famine was caused by a blight that wiped out nearly all the year's crops in Estagund. This made him eager for a deal posed by the Durparian merchant Jeradeem, and in a legendary trade the entire country of Estagund was sold. Contrary to popular rumor, Seltarir did not trade away the country for 24 pearls. In actuality he received diamonds worth almost a million gold pieces. The sudden wealth gave him an instant seat on the council of Merchants, so he retained a measure of rule in addition to his fortune. Chaka Seltarir is still the richest chaka in Estagund to this day. In the years that followed, the Gunders began rebuilding their lives under their new circumstance, and now they compete on equal footing with the merchants of Durpar and Var. |
| 7287 History of Gondegal the Lost King: Arabel, long under the dominion of Cormyr, for a time became the center of a swordsman's empire. This swordsman was Gondegal, the Lost King, who in the Year of the Dragon (1352 DR) attempted to carve a kingdom for himself centered on Arabel. It was to extend north to the Desertsmouth Mountains, south and west of Wyvernwater and the farms outlying from Eveningstar, and east to Tilver's Gap and the mountain passes. In the years following, people would say that Gondegal's reach was no longer than his blade. He could not hold any of the territory against the might of Cormyr, Sembia, Daggerdale, Tilverton, and several of the other Dalesâ€â€all of whom he drew the blood and ire of in the making of his throne. Gondegal ruled for less than a season, though he reigned officially for scarcely eight days. The remainder of his rule was spent fighting here and there against one foe or another in the lands he claimed. His troops were largely mercenary, and his treasury of seized goods was small and soon gone. One night Gondegal's force simply melted away before the advancing troops of Cormyr, and was gone. King Azoun IV retook Arabel on that morn without wetting a blade. No one has ever found the body of Gondegal; he is known to have fled north and then east via Teshwave, but then his fate becomes a matter of conflicting rumor and legend. Some believe he still lives with a score or more of loyal followers, keeping court in the wilds somewhere, a careful and ruthless bandit who takes care that none survive his attacks to carry tales anywhere. When entire caravans vanish at times anywhere between the High Dale and far-off Impiltur, he is blamed by talk in the taverns. Gondegal was said to be a tall, gray-haired warrior of considerable personal skill and intelligence. His badge was a gray wolf's head, face on, with red eyes. Caravan guards often warn merchants to beef up the escort on a particular caravan, "else thy gold'll soon be gilding Gondegal's throne." Gondegal was an impeccable swordsman and somewhat chaotic in his self-professed neutral alignment. If he does indeed yet live, the magic or treasure he carries, and who his allies might be, are all unknown. Gondegal's reign had a great influence on the King of Cormyr, at that time in his second decade of rule. Not only was Azoun forced to put down an effective rebellion in his own country, he was forced to pay more attention to matters outside Suzail, to become the ruler of a nation as opposed to a city-state. Further, the bloodless assault on Arabel was Azoun's first true experience at the head of his army, and the joy of "freeing" the people of Arabel is one that remains with him. |
| 7288 History of the Chosen of Mystra: The reason why Mystra, the Goddess of Magic, invested a portion of her divine might in mortals is not known. One of the more popular theories, and one that is gaining more support in light of the goddess' other actions during that period, is that Mystra foresaw the Time of Troubles (and her own passing at the hands of Helm) and chose to give some of her power to mortals in order to ensure that her successor (the female mage Midnight, as it turned out) would have a number of nearly immortal allies in the struggle against the schemes of the gods (the now dead Bane, Myrkul, and Bhaal) who precipitated the Time of Troubles by stealing the Tablets of Fate. The theory goes on to suggest that Mystra informed Azuth at approximately the Year of the Rising Flame (0 DR), more than 1,300 years before the Time of Troubles, that some of her power must be put into the hands of mortals who would then become known as Mystra's Chosen. This power would sleep within the bodies of those mortals, allowing Mystra to call on it only with their permission. It would give the Chosen the innate ability to heal quickly, and would give them life spans far greater than those of ordinary mortals. Mystra speculated that these mortals might be able to call on her power and thereby gain some special abilities, but that these powers would not rival those of a deity. (See "Powers" below.) The Goddess of All Magic then began to select mortals she thought to be suitable. One of the first was the young mage Elminster, and she also singled out a promising wizard named Khelben Arunsun. Both have proved to be worthy and capable receptacles of her power, but Mystra's other early attempts to invest her power in living humans were unsuccessful, and she came to realize that only very few mortals were of stern enough substance to contain such power within themselves without being destroyed or corrupted. Even though some people aside from Elminster and Khelben may have possessed the requisite strength, it is possible that having lived for years prior to being visited by Mystra had set them on a path from which they were not able to deviate. Whatever the reason, the problem needed to be solved. To get around the difficulty, Mystra devised a plan to use herself as a vessel to breed individuals who could be nurtured and acclimated to her power from the very beginnings of their lives. For the father of these individuals, she picked the best example of human stock she could find: Domal Silverhand, a nobleman and a former Harper who lived near Neverwinter. Mystra then possessed the body of Elue Shundar, a half-elven sorceress whom Dornal was already attracted to. Mystra revealed her presence and her plan to Elue, who happily and eagerly agreed to have the goddess share her body. Elue had been reluctant, but under the influence of Mystra the woman became a seductress, and Domal found his advances being suddenly returned with great fervor. Dornal and Mystra/Elue were wed in the Year of Drifting Stars (760 DR). The first of seven daughters, Anastra Sylune, was born the following winter. Sylune's six sisters emerged at one-year intervals thereafter: Endue Alustriel, Ambara Dove, Ethena Astorma (she prefers the shortened "Storm" these days), Anamanue Laeral, Alassra Shentrantra (known today as the Simbul), and Er'sseae Qilue. These siblings have become known in Realmsian lore as the Seven Sisters. Domal, who had been kept in the dark about his wife's true nature through the years (presumably because Mystra didn't want to risk losing his services), was disappointed and nearly distraught by the time his sixth child was born; He had always wanted sons as well as daughters. More importantly, he was seeing his wife deteriorate right before his eyes. The strain of coexisting with the goddess all these years had turned Elue into a withered shellâ€â€in essence a lich, clinging to life only because Mystra's power was within her. When Elue was carrying the seventh child, Dornal consulted a priest who told him his wife had been possessed by an entity of great magical power. To spare both of them any further agony, he attempted to slay his wife's physical form by severing her head from her body. As soon as he had done this, Mystra was forced to reveal herself to him, and she went on to explain her scheme. Just as she had worried would happen, Dornal was aghast at how he and his wife had been used by the goddess. He turned his back on the corpse of his wife, abandoned his lands and his children, and vanished into the North. Mystra bore him no ill will, and in fact protected him for the final 30 years of his life. When Domal finally did meet his end he called out to Mystra, and the goddess granted him continued existence as her servant. Now known as the Watcher, Domal Silverhand travels the world unseen by mortals on a continuing mission to locate candidates to swell the ranks of the Chosen and to identify possible threats to Mystra and her minions. |
| 7289 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€The Fall of Azmaer, Last Drow Marshall of the Twisted Tower: The drow rule of Shadowdale lasted until the early 900s Dale Reckoning, when the increased human population in the area brought the dark elves into conflict with their now more numerous neighbors. The humans were the Dalesmen who a millennium earlier had crossed the Dragon Reach and made peace with the elves of Myth Drannor, settling at the borders of the great woods that was the elven home. The drow soon found themselves under continual attack, and most of those who held overground settlements retreated back below. The last powerful drow leader was Azmaer, the marshal of the Twisted Tower in its last drow-held days. Azmaer oversaw the last retreat of the drow holdings in the face of a human uprising, and held the citadel against a year-long siege. With supplies and slaves brought up from the Underdark directly into the tower, the drow could have conceivably held out forever; However, a human slave (family histories in the Dales indicate a number of possible individuals) poisoned the well in the Tower and the citadel was easily overrun. Azmaer's body was not found among the dead, leading some to believe that he escaped back into the depths to rejoin his people. Noting the fact that he would have had to explain to his matriarch how he lost Shadowdale, it is much more likely that, should Azmaer have survived, he went into voluntary exile, hiding from both human and drow. Given that this occurred only 400 years ago, it is certainly possible that Azmaer still lives. |
| 7290 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Ashaba Becomes First Lord of Shadowdale: Upon taking the Twisted Tower and removing the drowish yoke from the people, the Dalesmen had fully established the Dale of Shadowdale, with its seat of power in the tower itself. Its first lord was a water wizard who had aided in the final attack: Ashaba, who was great in age when he ascended, and ruled peacefully for forty years thereafter. It is said that Ashaba realized he was dying and turned himself to water, merging with the river. Since that time, the river, the ford, and the Twisted Tower all bear his name. Before passing on Ashaba chose one of his trusted lieutenants as the new lord of Shadowdale. Presented to the people of the Dale, he was made the new lord by acclamation. In an additional honor, the pendant worn by Ashaba was thereafter recognized as a symbol of the lordship in the Dalelands, and was possessed by each of the successive lords following. |
| 7291 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Joadath and the Tyrist Massacre: The past hundred years have been an example of the best and worst of the lords of Shadowdale. All have been nonnative to the Dalelands, though all made the land their home. A century ago the lord of the Dales was one Joadath, a stiff-necked agnostic who denied the power of any god, good or evil, and used force to back up his beliefs. During this time there was a great deal of religious persecution, including a massacre of Tyrists on Watcher's Knoll. Joadath was eventually killed by a beast of the nether planes summoned by parties unknown, which then proceeded to rampage through the Dale. The beast was killed and Shadowdale rescued by the spellcasters Aumry and Sylune. Aumry was proclaimed lord by acclamation. |
| 7292 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Aumry Rules in Peace: The longest period of peaceful rule was by Lord Aumry and his wife Sylune (better known as the Witch of Shadowdale). They ruled over the community for forty years, a period of extended peace with their neighboring dales, nations, and the elven peoples. It was this very peace and power which made the Dale the target for attacks and sabotage by the Black Network (Zhentarim). They sought (and still seek) to control the trade from the Moonsea to the Sword Coast, and desired to make Shadowdale a vassal state of Zhentil Keep. Lord Aumry's rule ended tragically when he was assassinated by Zhentish agents. |
| 7293 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Jyordhan the False Lord: Lord Aumry was assassinated by Zhentarim agents, who in turn were captured and killed by the warrior Jyordhan. Jyordhan, with the Pendant of Ashaba in hand(the symbol of the lordship in the Dales), proceeded to present himself as the new lord, and was so acclaimed by the people. It was unknown to the people that Jyordhan was also an agent of the Zhentarim, and that the entire proceeding had actually been a ruse. Jyordhan abandoned the Twisted Tower, instead establishing himself in Castle Krag east of Shadowdale. His court was soon overrun with agents of the Black Network. When the people eventually revolted, Zhentil Keep sent peace-keeping forces to maintain Jyordhan's rule. Sylune, now aware of the deception but a firm pacifist, did her best to keep the Dale healthy and intact during Jyordhan's evil rule. |
| 7294 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Khelben Kills Jyordhan: Lord Jyordhan's rule of Shadowdale ended when he encountered Khelben Arunsun, also called the Blackstaff. The story at the time was that Jyordhan accepted an invitation from Khelben to visit Waterdeep, and there he took ill and died. In reality, Jyordhan ambushed Khelben as the mage was leaving Shadowdale, and the Blackstaff killed him. In either case, Khelben took hold of the Pendant of Ashaba (the symbol of the lordship in the Dales) and returned to Waterdeep with it, promising to send a suitable candidate for lordship to the Dales. Jyordhan had ruled for five years, and without his advocacy, Castle Krag was abandoned and the Zhentil Keep troops routed. Jyordhan's previously chosen successor was a Melvauntan named Lyran, but without the Pendant this individual was considered a pretender to the throne. |
| 7295 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Lords Accepted by Acclamation: This acclamation of the people has formed the basis for choosing the lord of Shadowdale since the routing of the evil Lord Jyordhan by Khelben Blackstaff. Usually a predecessor will step down as opposed to dying in office, and his chosen successor will be approved by the populace at large. This system has had its drawbacks, as will be shown below, but in general, it has served the independent, self-willed people of the Dale very well. They have avoided the "genetic lottery of which good bureaucracies and bad kingships are made" (a quote from the venerable Elminster). The symbol of the lordship is the Pendant of Ashaba, a device owned by the original wizard, and used to determine the rightful lord of the Dale. |
| 7296 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€The Time of No Lords: During the period when Khelben Blackstaff held the Pendant of Ashaba (the symbol of the lordship in the Dales), Sylune (wife of the murdered Lord Aumry) was the de facto ruler of Shadowdale, though these years were known as the Time of No Lords. Sylune and an adventuring company known as Mane's Band were responsible for driving out the Zhentil Keep forces and keeping at bay the monsters in the area. The Twisted Tower, the traditional seat of leadership, remained uninhabited following its abandonment by the evil Lord Jyordhan, and neither Sylune nor the companions of Mane's Band wished to assume the mantle of leader. With time, Mane's Band passed on to other lands and adventures. |
| 7297 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Doust Sulwood Becomes Lord of Shadowdale: Three winters following his defeat of the evil Lord Jyordhan, Khelben Blackstaff found a suitable candidate to assume leadership of the Dales, or rather a group of candidates. They were the Knights of Myth Drannor, so named to show their interest in the elven territories and their connection with the elven peoples, and Khelben gave them the Pendant of Ashaba (the symbol of the Lordship) in return for services rendered to himself and to Shadowdale. Their leader, the ranger Florin Falconhand, refused the honor of the lordship. It was therefore passed to Doust Sulwood, who was made the new lord with the support of Florin and Sylune (wife of the murdered Lord Aumry), and apparently also the secret support of Khelben as well. Doust reoccupied the Twisted Tower, driving out the last agents of the Black Network. He also re-instituted many of Ashaba's democratic ideals, including the Lord's Court where all citizens may speak freely and air their grievances without threat of reprisal. Doust ruled for five years and proved to be a capable ruler, beloved by the people. The regular presence of the Knights of Myth Drannor did much to ensure the protection of the area, particularly against incursions by Lyran Nanther the Pretender. Lyran was to have been Jyordhan's named replacement, but with the Zhentarim routed there is little validity to the claim. |
| 7298 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Elminster Moves to Shadowdale: It is of note that during the time that Doust Sulwood of the Knights of Myth Drannor assumed the role of Lord of Shadowdale, Elminster took up residence in the area. A semi-regular visitor up to that time, he took possession of a low, abandoned tower at the foot of the Old Skull, and declared himself to be officially in retirement. The nature of that retirement varies from active involvement in local affairs to long-term vacations on other planes. The natives of the Dale have come to the understanding that they cannot always count on the powerful mage being in residence in times of need or danger, but when he is present in these circumstances his aid is usually given. |
| 7299 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Doust Chooses Mourngrym Amcathra to Succeed Him: Doust Sulwood, recommended to the position by Khelben Blackstaff, ruled Shadowdale as lord for five years. "Seems like a millennium," he was oft known to have reported, and the tedium of court life and the lure of adventure eventually caused him to retire his position and rejoin the Knights of Myth Drannor in regular adventuring. He handed the Pendant of Ashaba (symbol of the Lordship) on to one of the younger Knights, a Waterdhavian noble named Mourngrym Amcathra. Mourngrym had been dispatched by Khelben from Waterdeep for other purposes, but Doust liked both the young man's straightforward honesty and his willingness to shoulder the burden of protecting the small community from myriad dangers. Time has proven this choice a wise one. |
| 7300 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Shaerl and Mourngrym Meet and Marry: The implications of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun "choosing" the last two lords of Shadowdale (Doust Sulwood and Mourngrym Amcathra) were not lost on the Dale's powerful neighbor to the south, Cormyr. An agent was sent northward to divine Mourngrym's true intentions and to guarantee the Dale's continued good relationship with the throne of the Purple Dragon. The agent was a rogue named Shaerl Rowanmantle, sent by Vangerdahast (though all paperwork on this matter has been curiously incinerated in Suzail, so all is hearsay and tale). Shaerl discovered more than she intended and fell in love with young Mourngrym. The two married and became the lord and lady of Shadowdale. Shaerl's loyalty is now to her husband and to the land they co-rule. This was probably not the intention of the Cormyreans. |
| 7301 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Mourngrym's Rule: Since being recommended to the position by outgoing Lord Doust Sulwood, Lord Mourngrym Amcathra's rule of Shadowdale has been less peaceful than he had hoped. The First Battle of Shadowdale occurred in the Year of the Prince (1357 DR), and involved Daleland forces routing those of Lyran the Pretender. Lyran has made repeated attempts to gain the Lordship, as was intended by the former Zhentish puppet, Lord Jyordhan. While significant, this battle pales when compared to the larger battle fought on the same site between Bane-led Zhentil Keep forces and the Dales during the Time of Troubles (1358 DR/0 PR). When the Battle of Shadowdale is referred to (without a number), it usually means this second battle. In addition, Mourngrym has had to deal with a large number of skirmishes, incursions, a possible invasion from below, explosions, and other sundry disasters. Mourngrym and Shaerl have one child, Scotti, who is now nine winters old. By the customs of the area, he is not considered the heir apparent, and another suitable warrior or mage may take the reins of power of the small community. Most feel that Mourngrym will hold the Pendant until his son has reached his majority, then abdicate in young Scotti's favor once he takes his grown name. If this happens, it will be the first occasion of the lordship of Shadowdale passing down through a family. |
| 7302 History of the Northâ€â€The First Flowering: For millennia, gold elves dwelt in Illefarn (where Waterdeep now stands) and Eaerlann (along the River Shining). From their ornate forest cities, they traded with emerging human nations like Netheril and Illusk and repulsed the attacks of the goblin races. Meanwhile, dwarven clans united as the nation of Delzoun, named for the dwarf who forged the union. The nation, existing primarily underground, extended from the Ice Mountains to the Nether Mountains. Silver Moon Pass was its western border and the Narrow Sea its eastern shore. Orcs came from north of the Spine of the World but were turned back in great slaughter by the elves. To this day, this is the homeland and stronghold for orcs and similar races. |
| 7303 History of the Northâ€â€The Crown Wars: Humans immigrated in bands from the Shining Sea and up to the Sword Coast. They became seafarers, striking out across the waves to the Moonshaes, Mintarn, Ruathym, and the northern islands. Elves engaged in an unceasing war against each other, with the humans and orcs taking over the resulting ruins. Perhaps the greatest calamity to befall the Fair Folk was the Dark Disaster, a killing magic that took the form of a dark, burning cloud. It enshrouded the kingdom of Miyeritar, and when it faded away some months later, not an elf livedâ€â€nor were trees left, only an open, blasted moor: the High Moor. All was not dark for the elves. Although in retreat, as barbarian humans and orc hordes grew in strength, their power rose in the Elven Court and Evereska (remaining a stronghold to this day). They conceived of cooperation between dwarves, kindly humans, and other elves for mutual survival against orcs, marauding humans, and the tide of beasts (ogres, bugbears, trolls, goblins, gnolls, and other nonhuman creatures) led by the rising power of giants. Astonishingly, in at least three placesâ€â€the Fallen Kingdoms and the cities of Silverymoon and Myth Drannorâ€â€they succeeded with shining grace. To the east, on the sandy shores of the calm and shining Narrow Sea, human fishing villages grew into small towns and then joined together as the nation of Netheril. Sages believe the fishing towns were unified by a powerful human wizard who had discovered a book of great magic power that had survived from the Days of Thunderâ€â€a book that legend calls the Nether Scrolls. Under this nameless wizard and those who followed, Netheril rose in power and glory, becoming both the first human land in the North and the most powerful. Some say this discovery marked the birth of human wizardry, since before then, mankind had only shamans and witch doctors. For over three thousand years, Netheril dominated the North, but even its legendary wizards were unable to stop their final doom. |
| 7304 History of the Bell in the Depths: One of the great and mysterious sites in the Moonsea area, the Bell in the Depths, is connected with legendary Northkeep, an island kingdom that was the first great citadel of humankind in these cold lands. Northkeep was of great and magical city, and it was under the protection of these magics that humanity first began to press back the orc hordes and take command or the sea. The power of Northkeep made it an obvious target for orcs, giants, and other evil races, however these creatures were not inclined towards sea actions, and Northkeep seemed safe until the day when (according to legend) 40,000 inhuman mages, shamans, witch doctors, and priests of all foul races gathered on the northern shore of the Moonsea and began to chant, bringing the vengeance of their gods down upon the human interlopers. The gods (at least some of them) came and destroyed their priests for disturbing them, but also sank Northkeep beneath the waves. The upper reaches of Northkeepâ€â€its slender, now-broken spiresâ€â€can be seen beneath the water by boats that sail nearby. This is not attempted often, however, as the region is said to be haunted by the original defenders of Northkeep, seeking company in their watch over the Cold Lands. On fog-ridden nights the bells of the tallest towers, despite being submerged, can be heard as far away as Hillsfar. |
| 7305 History of the Red Ravens: One of the few long-standing mercenary companies that operate in Cormyr, the Red Ravens have a strength on paper of 110 swords, but can easily triple that number with new hires if they get a sufficiently large contract. They have been kept on retainer by the government of Cormyr with the stated purpose of cleaning out the Stonelands to the north. They have been moderately successful in this goal, but the Stonelands are still far from being a safe territory. The Red Ravens are commanded by Rayanna the Rose, a veteran of the Horde crusade. They are noted for their honesty and trustworthiness, as they don not wish to jeopardize their royal charter. Most of their troops are armed with studded leather and carry long swords. They charge 200 gold pieces per week for the services of their 110-being unit. Their symbol is a red raven amulet. |
| 7306 History of Dambrath: The nation of Dambrath was formed out of a barbarian kingdom almost a half-millennium ago by a powerful alliance of priestesses of Loviatar and the drow from the city of T'lindhet. In 211 DR, fleeing from the destruction of their homeland by the then-great kingdoms of Unther and Muhlorand, four tribes of barbarians entered Dambrath. They found a coast where the dolphins danced and plains where the grass was long. They roamed from the borders of the Walls of Halruaa, as far east as the current borders of Estagund. They soon became known as the Arkaiun, or people of the wind. In 545 DR a great warchief, Reinhar, arose to lead the tribes. The halflings of Luiren were quickly enslaved, and several of the coastal cities of Durpar were captured or razed. Estagund fell to his rule, and eventually Reinhar turned his attention to Halruaa. An army of 40,000 horsemen and a fleet of 50 ships mounted a coordinated attack, and even though Reinhar was able to get beyond the Walls of Halruaa and occupy the cities of Mithel, Galdel, and Zalsuu, their magics proved to be more than a match for the invaders. Reinhar was finally defeated in a great battle at Sulaziir by the archmage Mycontil and his troop of wizards. Reinhar's son, Reinhar II, took command of the army and set out on a two-month overland retreat. He arrived home with a thousand surviving fighting men and no shaman. Reinhar II proved to be as good a ruler in defeat as his father was in war. He consolidated his forces and pulled home almost all of his troops, as he knew that the defeat made them tempting prey for raiders and encroaching monsters. This action allowed for the safe development of his peoples. By the time the ninth Reinhar was king in 802 DR, the Arkaiuns were fat and lazy. Reinhar IX, or Reinhar the Foolish as he is more commonly known, insisted on expanding his nation to gain more gold to finance his military campaigns. He ordered the mining of many rich lodes of silver and electrum in the Gnollwatch mountains, but before his plans of expansion could begin, the miners encountered the drow of T'lindhet. The drow were outraged and began a steady series of raids and attacks on the Arkaiun strongholds. Whole villages were destroyed overnight, and no trace of the invaders could be found. Reinhar IX committed the foolhardy action of attacking the drow in retaliation. While the Arkaiuns managed to get a force into the drow city, this action only succeeded in uniting the normally chaotic drow. For once, the full power of a drow city was turned against an enemy. The battle quickly moved back to the surface. Reinhar's raiders were wiped out, leaving Reinhar with only a small portion of his original military. This was not enough for the drow, who demanded total enslavement of the entire surface nation. The Arkaiuns resisted valiantly, and the war went on for three decades at tremendous cost in life to both sides. Finally, the drow had the Arkaiun forces cornered at Malduir. Almost without hope, the defenders were overjoyed when a group of half-elven pilgrims appeared on the scene. The high priestess, Cathtyr Shintar, offered the aid of her clerics to help defend the city, and Reinhar took this to be an omen from the gods. A priestess was placed with almost every company. Within a tenday the drow struck. The priestesses did indeed prove to be of great aid, but to the drow. Every priestess turned on the Arkaiuns, and Cathtyr herself slew Reinhar. The drow were still weakened by the battle, and only the presence of the priestesses enabled them to win. Cathtyr, realizing the unique advantage she possessed, made a deal that even the suspicious drow embraced. Her priestesses would rule the land, and in exchange they would provide access to the surface for the drow, trading weapons, slaves, and supplies. The drow were delighted with this brazen offer from a surface-dweller. Reinhar had been slain and the insult avenged, and after 30 years of war the drow were not particularly interested in Dambrath. They did insist, however, on taking the best captured males as slaves. Cathtyr quickly agreed to this, seeing the males as an obstacle to her own power. Cathtyr ruled for 205 years. She fulfilled her promise to make Dambrath, or "The Nation of Pain," a bastion of evil in the realms. In her time, Cathtyr saw the priesthood of Loviatar expand to thousands, and faith in the Beastlords previously worshipped by the Arkaiuns was nearly eradicated. Many of the Arkaiuns were able to escape their new mistresses and flee to the Swagdar. There they resumed their almost forgotten nomadic life. The priestesses of Loviatar continued to enjoy good relations with the drow, and some even took mates, creating a race of drow half-elves. These dark half-elves became known as the Crintri, or "noble ones." Most are priestesses of Loviatar, though many are mages as well. They consolidated their power, learning much of the area from the Shebali, or "lower ones," as the Arkaiuns are now called. The capital of Dambrath was established at Cathtyr, built after Cathtyr's passing and named in her honor. Her death came at the hands of her daughter, Filina, who had grown tired of waiting for her mother to die. Filina ruled for only five years, however, before her own daughter, Cathakay, assumed the throne in the same fashion. Cathakay ruled for 54 years, eventually falling in battle against a gold dragon. She died childless, and her niece Melanith assumed the throne. Melanith faced an increasing population, and unrest among males who longed for a return to their prestige of old. Melanith did not return their previous status, but she did make use of them. Fearing that the great nations of Mulhorand and Unther might rise again, she decided that men would handle mundane tasks, such as the defense of the kingdom. She was the first to name a male to the post of warchief. Sadalar, a Crintri, became the queen's consort. Widespread bribery and corruption characterized his term as warchief. He was, however, responsible for getting many privileges returned to the Arkaiuns. After Melanith's rule, the Shebali were considered second class citizens, rather than slaves. Though males were granted more power during her rule, Melanith also solidified the split between the sexes. While the rulers of Dambarth had been females for over two centuries, it was more because of competence than gender. Melanith, however, decreed that men could have no authority except over other men. The female-led hierarchy of Loviatar was quick to back this move. Many of the bravest and best men of the kingdom perished in raids on Estagund, Durpar, the bandit tribes of Veldorn, and against the gnolls that had returned to the Gnollwatch mountains. Some even fought at the side of the drow in their battle with the svirfneblin city of Aventine. The deep gnomes were destroyed, but so were the Shebali. The drow and the Crintri were largely unharmed, and for their aid, the Crintri were rewarded with a number of drow males to breed in to their race. Melanith took a drow male as her consort to replace Sadalar, who had perished in the conflict. The drow, Nym Inthigg, fathered three daughters and a son. It was at this time that Melantih began the isolationist policy that Dambrath still follows today. Melanith ruled for 156 years, her daughter Ausitil for 125. The current queen of Dambrath is Yenandra; she is known there as the "Pirate Queen," for she has sailed as far south as Zakhara on pillaging raids. Yenandra has been ruling for 71 years, and is beginning to show signs of age. She has three daughters as well, named Luatharyn, Meltruil, and Hasafir. While she does remain extremely popular, especially to the Crintri, the children of leaders in this land are not known to patiently wait their turn. |
| 7307 History of Luiren, Land of the Halflings: The halflings of Luiren claim that it is the original homeland of halflings in the realms. Although other halflings may disagree with this, it is true that Luiren was settled hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years ago. Luiren's history is one of conquerors and subjugation. Throughout the centuries, the halflings have been conquered by the barbarians who used to inhabit Dambrath, by the kingdom of Estagund, and even once by the monsters of Beldorn. In every case, the invaders were eventually defeated because they made the mistake of underestimating the halflings due to their small stature. A good bit of mischief, mayhem, and general trouble-making by the halflings also helped end the occupations. Currently, Luiren is enjoying unprecedented prosperity. The halflings are currently taking advantage of their relationship with the nation of Durpar; their biggest customer and greatest competitor. Also, through these close ties with Durpar, Luiren has protected itself against another Dambraii invasion. The rulers of Dambrath must know that if they begin to expand to the east, they will arouse the ire of Durpar, as well as Var and Estagund. The threat of a trade embargo and/or military consequences have kept this aggressive nation away from the Luireners. |
| 7308 History of Halruaa: Halruaa was settled centuries ago by wizards fleeing the Phaerimm in what was to become the Anauroch desert. The first wizards came in unique flying ships invented by the Netherese, and found a beautiful and rich country settled only by shepherds and large herds of aurochs and wild rothe. It was here that the wizards decided to make a stand, should the Phaerimm follow. The Phaerimm never did, but Halruaa has had to defend itself from attacks by all of its neighbors since then. Over the centuries, Dambrath has attacked and raided Halruaa's ports and borders multiple times. Once, led by a magic-resistant barbarian, the Dambraii occupied all of the country south of Lake Halruaa. They were defeated in battle by the great archmage Mycontil, who slew their barbarian leader. Forty thousand Dambraii attacked, and were stopped by five hundred Halruaans. More than two hundred Halruaan wizards, including Mycontil, died in the battle. The last attack upon Halruaa was less than one hundred years ago, through the Telath Pass by the power-hungry king of Lapaliiya. He had allied with bandits from the wastes, though this time the Halruaans were able to field a larger force, including fighting men as well as wizards in their skyships. The attackers were easily routed. Halruaa also suffered through a civil war about five centuries ago, when a number of mages advocated beginning new experiments in magic, ones which even the Netherese didn't approve of. The renegades were driven from the region, but went on to found the land of Thay, or so it is said in Halruaa. Since then, Halruaa has been at peace (they have had no declared wars), though it still suffers raids from Dambraii pirates, bandits of the wastes, savages from the Mhair Jungles, and any other pirate, raider, or hungry wizard who thinks that magic and wealth grow on trees in Halruaa. This constant raiding has made the Halruaans very defensive, warlike, and traditional. The people say that since wizards have always led them, wizards always will. |
| 7309 History of the Northâ€â€Recent History of the North: In the waning summer months of 1367, an immense orc horde descended from the Spine of the World, intent on winding its way south into the trade lands of the North. This force of orcs, led by King Greneire, surged its way south between the Moonwood and the Cold Wood, stopping just outside the Citadel of Many Arrows. King Obould, orc ruler of the Citadel of Many Arrows, was terrified at the prospect of another orc horde, despite the fact that he knew they should be working together against the humans of the North and the spawn of Hellgate Keep. His tribal shamans, however, had been predicting a treacherous fall of the citadelâ€â€and they'd told the king that he'd be disposed by other orcs. Thus, it was a dark day when King Greneire and his horde of 150,000 orcs appeared on the plains outside the Citadel of Many Arrows. King Obould announced to his followers that this horde had been sent to dislodge them from their home and send them out to be scavengers among the plains. He vowed that, as Gruumsh as his witness, the Citadel of Many Arrows would slaughter these treacherous orcs "like elves during a festival." For four months, the forty-thousand orcs within the citadel held their ground. Assault after assault was mounted against the high walls of the garrison, but the attacking orcs were losing far more than the defenders. Still, the living conditions within the wallsâ€â€never too good to begin withâ€â€created losses of their own. The battle for the Citadel of Many Arrows culminated during the first week of Uktar. As another light blanket of snow sought to bury the gathered orcs, King Greneire threw his entire remaining army at the citadel, bursting its gates and pitting orc against orc in a flurry of swords. As the two orc kings sought one another out along the ramparts, the citadel began to burn. The orcs that survive the battle still speak of the extraordinary prowess of the two kings as they battled one another before their troops. Finally, however, King Obould ran Greneire through with his long sword, but Obould was severely wounded by the time Greneire had breathed his last breath. The orcs erupted into battle once again, and no one is quite certain what became of King Obould. It was through the smoke and snow that the victors of the conflict emerged: the dwarves of Clan Warcrown along with a contingent of troops from Silverymoon. Charging in through the shattered gates, these new attackers quickly routed the exhausted orcs of the citadel, sending them scurrying off into the wilderness. King Emerus Warcrown now rules the Citadel of Many Arrows, though the dwarves now call the city by its old name of Felbarr. Most in the North still tend to refer to the city as the Citadel, however, waiting to see if it can withstand the next orc horde. King Warcrown has put out a call for all dwarves to help defend the citadel, and news of a new vein of gold and silver is spreading rapidly through dwarven communities. |
| 7310 History of the Northâ€â€The Elven Exodus: This era left behind elven strongholds ripe for pillaging by humans and orcs. When elves chose to leave the North and travel to Evermeet, their works quickly disappeared, leaving only places like the Old Road and a ruined port in the High Forest to mark Eaerlann's passing. And yet it was not only the elves who would disappear from their long-held homes; the human nation of Netheril also stood on the brink of history. Doom for Netheril came in the form of a desert, devouring the Narrow Sea and spreading to fill its banks with dry dust and blowing sand. Legend states that when the great wizards of Netheril realized their land was lost, they abandoned it and their countrymen, fleeing to all corners of the world and taking the secrets of wizardry with them. More likely, this was a slow migration that began three thousand years ago and reached its conclusion fifteen hundred years later. Whatever the truth, wizards no longer dwelled in Netheril. To the north, the once-majestic dwarven stronghold of Delzoun fell upon hard days. Then the orcs struck. Orcs have always been foes in the North, surging out of their holes every few tens of generations when their normal haunts can no longer support their burgeoning numbers. This time they charged out of their caverns in the Spine of the World, poured out of abandoned mines in the Graypeaks, screamed out of lost dwarfholds in the Ice Mountains, raged forth from crypt complexes in the Nether Mountains, and stormed upward from the bowels of the High Moon Mountains. Never before or since has there been such an outpouring of orcs. Delzoun crumbled before this onslaught and was driven in on itself. Netheril, without its wizards, was wiped from the face of history. The Eaerlann elves alone withstood the onslaught and, with the aid of the treants of Turlang and other unnamed allies, were able to stave off the final days of their land for yet a few centuries more. In the east, Eaerlann built the fortress of Ascalhorn and turned it over to refugees from Netheril as Netherese followers built the town of Karse in the High Forest. The fleeing Netherese founded Llorkh and Loudwater. Others wandered the mountains, hills, and moors north and west of the High Forest, becoming ancestors of the Uthgardt and founders of Silverymoon, Everlund, and Sundabar. |
| 7311 History of the Northâ€â€The Spread of Humankind: The adaptable humans made use of magic they could seize or learn from the Proud Peoples to defeat all enemies, breaking (for a time) the power of giants and orcs. Waterdeep was founded. The last of the pureblood elves died out, a result of continued marriages with humans. In the far west, men also dwelledâ€â€wise, clever primitives called the Ice Hunters. They lived simple lives on the coast since time beyond reckoning, countless generations before Netheril's first founders set foot on the Narrow Sea's western shore. Yet this peaceful folk fell prey to another invasion from the south: crude longships that carried a tall, fair-haired, warlike race who displaced the Ice Hunters from their ancestral lands. This race, known as the Northmen, spread farms and villages along the coast from the banks of the Winding Water to the gorges of the Mirar. Northmen warriors drove the simple Ice Hunters farther and farther north, forced the goblinkin back into their mountain haunts, and instigated the last Council of Illefarn. Within five hundred years of the Northmen's arrival, Illefarn was no moreâ€â€its residents had migrated to Evermeet. From the Coast, Northmen sailed westward, claiming and establishing colonies on the major western islands of Ruathym and Gundarlun, eventually spreading to all the islands in the northern sea. Others migrated northward, past the Spine of the World, and became the truly savage barbarians of Icewind Dale. In the centuries that followed, Ascalhorn became Hellgate Keep when it fell into the hands of fiends, and Eaerlann collapsed under the attack of a new orc horde. The elves fled southeast, joining with Northmen, Netherese descendants, and dwarves to form what would later be known as the Fallen Kingdom. This realm was short-lived and collapsed under the next orcish invasionâ€â€though in dying, it dealt the goblin races a blow from which they have yet to recover. |
| 7312 History of the Northâ€â€The Might of Men: Along the coast, in what was once the elven community of Illefarn, humanity was once again rising in power. Merchants from the south, tribesmen from the North, and seafarers from western islands had created a village around a trading post on a deep-water harbor, first known as Nimoar's Hold after the Uthgardt chieftain whose tribe seized and fortified the ramshackle village. Nimoar and his successors, known as War Lords, led the men of Waterdeep (as it had become known to ship captains) in a slowly losing battle against the trolls. In a final, climactic battle, the trolls breached the aging palisade and all seemed lostâ€â€until the magic of Ahghairon of Silverymoon turned luck against the trolls, destroying and scattering them. Ahghairon, heir to the heritage and learning of Netheril, stayed in Waterdeep, and in his 112th year he again saved the cityâ€â€this time from itself. In so doing, he created the Lords of Waterdeep. The city grew into the greatest in the North, possibly in all Faerûn, With Waterdeep as a firm anchor, civilization forged cautiously into the wilderness. Illuskan (now Luskan) was taken from the orcs. Loudwater, Llorkh, Triboar, Longsaddle, Secomber, and other towns were settled by pioneers from Waterdeep, sponsored by Waterdhavian merchant families. Though it's been centuries since the last orc invasion, there's still constant strife. Barbarians harass merchants, travelers, and towns; the seas swim with Northmen pirates; and wars have marred the land in recent years. Luskan, now a fierce merchant city known to harborâ€â€and supportâ€â€pirates, waged a war with the island realm of Ruathym over an act of piracy against one of the few legitimate Luskan merchant ships. The war raged for nearly a year, with Ruathym slowly losing ground. When it appeared Luskan would finally win the naval war and land on the island itself, the Lords' Alliance entered the fray. They threatened war against Luskan if the skirmishes didn't stop immediately. Unable to fight a two-front war efficiently, Luskan canceled its invasion plans. Tensions between Luskan and Ruathym are still high, and their ships are often seen taking potshots at each other as they pass, often just a wave or two away from each other. The government of Ruathym has recently been sending adventurers into the hills of its island realm, looking for mercenaries who are killing merchants, farmers, and woodsmen. Ruathym believes Luskan still has a presence on the island, trying to win through subversion and terrorism what it could not accomplish through war. To the far north, the Ten Towns have finished rebuilding after being nearly destroyed by the monstrous forces of Akar Kessel. With help from the tundra barbarians living nearby, they've built and repaired their cities, replanted the sparse foliage, andâ€â€most importantlyâ€â€replenished the morale of their citizens. A recent trader who passed through the area carrying seventeen wagons of rare oak lumber said that it was nearly impossible to determine who's a barbarian and who isn't. "They're living together!" he reported in amazement. |
| 7313 History of the Northâ€â€1368, Year of the Banner: As the dwarves settled in for the winter in their reclaimed city of Felbarr, a group of Zhentarim-sponsored adventurers broke into Great Worm Cavern, slaying Elrem the Wise, shaman leader of the Great Worm tribe, as the tribe's warriors descended into the ranks of the evil adventurers, teleportation magic spirited at least three of those responsibleâ€â€as well as a vast amount of treasure stolen from Elremâ€â€to safety. According to Themrin, the tribe's present shaman, Elrem promised to "watch over the tribe in spirit now that my mortal form is destroyed." Despite the reassuring words of Elrem, the tribe suffered through an oppressive winter that included both heavy snow, scarce game, and low morale. Trusted visitors to the barbarian encampment report that Themrin and Gweshen "Ironhand" Talistars are wearing some form of armor made from the scales of Elrem. This use of their former shaman's body as "protection" was supposedly ordained through a dream vision. The armor appears as little more than a supple leather armor, but seems to deflect blows and protect as well as full plate mail. Nesme reported a drastic rise in the number of troll attacks in the Evermoors, and various sources confirm that something is driving the trolls out of the moors. Whatever is behind the trolls' exodus is destined to remain a mystery for the remainder of the year, as adventuring parties expend themselves against the never-ending supply of trolls that are fleeing the bog. In the most surprising move of the year, the Blue Bear Tribe, led by the shaman/chieftain Tanta Hagara, marched on the fiend-ridden fortress of Hellgate Keep. While a brief struggle for political control of the city was reported by various sources, Tanta Hagara emerged as the new ruler of the city. |
| 7314 History of the Northâ€â€1369, Year of the Gauntlet: The tumultuous climate of Hellgate Keep continued to provide adventuring activity. A group of Harpers infiltrated the city using cloaking magic and revealed that Tanta Hagara was actually an annis. This revelation did nothing to hamper the Blue Bear's respect for their powerful chieftain however, and the city responded to the unmasking by attacking caravans en route to Sundabar. In addition, a few expeditionary forces of tanar'ri were sent to harass the Citadel of the Mists, Sundabar, and Silverymoon. Tanta Hagara informed her "loyal troops" that gates existed in these cities that could allow other tanar'ri to "join us in the glorious battles to come as we take control of all of the North!" Alustriel cast powerful magical spells in the defense of Silverymoon against the raiding tanar'ri, and the city itself suffered no damage from their attack. The Mistmaster of the Citadel of the Mists likewise aided in the defense of his citadel, though reports still rage about the assistance of the treants of the High Forest. Sundabar suffered from Hellgate Keep's attack, as the fiends broke through the walls and raised havoc along the city streets. While adventurers battled the fiends, Helm Dwarfriend led a large contingent of the city guard to drive the remainder from Sundabar. Still, the fiends from Hellgate Keep left the city with the satisfaction of knowing that it was burning in their wake. Within two days, however, the fires were extinguished, and Sundabar has since rebuilt from the attack. By mid Eleasias, rumors that Turlang, the powerful treant who resides in the northern High Forest, was actively defending the woodlands near the Citadel of the Mists reached the ears of Tanta Hagara, the hag-ruler of Hellgate Keep. News that Turlang was aiding the Mistmaster did not escape her notice, and the belief that the Citadel of the Mists was holding an extraplanar artifact only added to the hag's interest. Tanta assembled a large force consisting of more than 100 tanar'ri and other fiends as well as 500 members of the Blue Bear tribe to raze the Citadel of the Mists. But as the evil forces marched their way into the High Forest, the Mistmaster put his own plan into motion. Two Harper agents, a bard named Cryshana Fireglen and a priest of Mystra known as Spellviper, infiltrated Hellgate Keep disguised as members of the Blue Bear tribe. Each carried with them part of an extraplanar artifact called the Gatekeeper's Crystal. The Gatekeeper's Crystal is an artifact shaped like a three-pointed star that is made of onyx and an unknown metal that entwines itself through the gem. Each point of the star is a separate piece that can be combined together to create the artifact or separated to form three powerful magical items. While the crystal can be used in different manners, it was primarily created to bring down wards, including mythals and other powerful protections. According to legend, it was created by a powerful lich who used it to render clerics powerless, stripping them of their ability to turn undead and nullifying necromantic magic within a 50-mile radius. The Mistmaster had a different use for the Gatekeeper's Crystal, but he needed volunteers to aid him in placing two shards of the crystal at precise locations within the warded city of Hellgate Keep. In particular, he needed two people who would be willing to trade their lives to exterminate the fiends of Hellgate Keep forever. Spellviper and Cryshana agreed to the suicide mission, Holding the pieces of the crystal, the two Harpers waited for the Mistmaster to activate the magic with his third piece, initiating the magic that would tear Hellgate Keep asunder. When a blazing beam of purple energy illuminated the skies over the keep, no one within the fiend's stronghold had time to wonder what was happening. The power of the Gatekeeper's Crystal forced the wards to cascade upon the city, causing an implosion that shook the ground for more than 100 miles. As quickly as the wards surrounding Hellgate Keep collapsed, the crystal released the magical energy in an explosion that leveled every building in the city, leaving nothing but fist-sized chunks of rocks where Hellgate Keep once stood. Not a living creature stirred in the remains; all was silent and lifeless. The force of tanar'ri from Hellgate Keep was unsure what had happened but had felt the tremor when the Gatekeeper's Crystal had been activated. They were fighting for their own lives, however, as the treants, korred, centaurs, satyrs, dryads, and other creatures of the High Forestâ€â€including defenders of the Citadel of the Mistsâ€â€battered them into the moist earth. One of the North's most notable rulers fell in the battle, however, but he took at least six tanar'ri with him to his grave. Faurael Blackhammer, the lord protector of Triboar, fell alongside his troops near the conclusion of the conflict. Within weeks after the final battle with Hellgate Keep, treants blocked passage farther north at the joining of the Heart-blood and Delimbiyr rivers. While the treants care little for hunters and adventurers passing through the area, all caravans seeking passage north to Sundabar have been repulsedâ€â€and this is not a matter that the treants wish to negotiate. In another mishap blamed on Turlang, Turnstone Pass was blocked by a tremendous avalanche. This final calamity sealed the Upvale from any major force of men. Travel into the area formerly occupied by Hellgate Keep is now limited to adventurers and other brave travelers. The Mistmaster has been questioned repeatedly by some of the most powerful wizards in the realms, including Elminster of Shadowdale and Khelben Arunsun, about the current location of the Gatekeeper's Crystal. Most sources claim that the pieces of the crystal have been scattered amongst the planes again, but no one is certain. Near Nesme, the source of the trolls' exodus is revealed. Fog and cloud giants have taken up residence in the moor, driving the trolls from the giants' new "homeland." While its unknown how many giants have taken up residence in the High Moor, estimates range up to several hundred. A thick mist continually hangs in the air of the Evermoors now, even more persistent and thick than the mist before the giants' arrival. Many believe that these new mists are the work of the cloud giants, but none can be certain. Alustriel of Silverymoon sent a detachment of guards to investigate the eastern borders of the moor, and the guards returned with news that a gathering of around 20 fog giants who were "of good nature and quite friendly" had taken up residence in a formerly troll-infested area. Guards from neighboring Nesme were not so fortunate, however, running into a clan of violent, boulder-hurling fog and cloud giants who nearly decimated their unit. In addition, a group of adventurers crawled into Nesme with terrible burns, reporting that they had run into a black dragon at a fog giant encampment. Overall, it appears that both good and evil giants now call the moor their home. |
| 7315 History of the Northâ€â€Return of the Beast (1367- ?): Sages, philosophers, historians, and priests alike feel an ill-boding in the chill air. They predict a slow change over the next decade, but within the lifetime of men born on the first day of this age. They believe that the beasts that once ruled the land plan to return to claim what's rightfully theirs, imprisoning and enslaving the crowns. Where elves once reigned, men now rule, but their holdâ€â€as true for all civilizations beforeâ€â€is tenuous at best. |
| 7316 History of the Northâ€â€1370, Year of the Tankard: Even before spring has graced the Savage North, reports of treants massing in the High Forest have reached all of the northern cities. It seems that all of the creatures of the forest have mobilized to restore the High Forest after the fall of Hellgate Keep. Something must still reside below the ruins of Hellgate Keep, however, for the Company of the Jaded Heart never emerged from the depths below the city. The treants have since blocked entrance into the ruins, sealing whatever evil still lurks within far below the sight of man. But there is other activity in the North as well. Luskan still flirts with war, tempting neighboring cities and yet staying just below the wrath of Waterdeep. The barbarians still brew in the north, easy to take offense at innocent incursions into their sacred holdings. Rumors of Zhentarim agents scouring the Fallen Lands for powerful magic from long-lost Netheril continue to circulate. And adventurers still abound in the Savage Frontier. |
| 7317 History of Waterdeep: Waterdeep was used as a trading site for trade activities between northern tribesmen and southern merchants more than two millennia ago. By 1,000 years ago, permanent farms had sprung up in the area. The first mention of a Waterdeep (not as a city, but as a collection of warlords) occurs only 400 years ago. The city was truly established as a going concern by 1032 DR, the year Ahghairon became the first Lord of Waterdeep, and the date from which Northreckoning is counted. The city grew spectacularly, such that by 1248 DR both the City of the Dead and the guilds had been developed. The guildmasters seized control soon afterward, ushering in a period of unrest and bitter conflict known as the Guildwars. The Guildwars ended only when the two surviving guildmasters brought in their own period of misrule. It was only in 1273 DR that the present system of government (or lack thereof was instituted. This was the year that the Magisters were established and the secret Lords of Waterdeep were firmly reestablished. Since that time, the city has continued to grow and prosper. Humankind and other races come from all over the realms to earn hard coin in the City of Splendors. Over the years these successful merchants have set up guilds and themselves become nobility, supporting the secretive Lords of Waterdeep who police the city fairly, yet with a light hand, by means of the superb city guard (soldiers), city watch (police), and over twenty black-robed magistrates. As a result, Waterdeep is a place tolerant of different races, religions, and lifestyles. This in turn has encouraged commerce, and Waterdeep has grown into a huge, eclectic city. |
| 7318 History of the Dales and the Elven Court: The founding of the Dalelands long preceded the creation of any of the existing Dales by hundreds of years, and the year numbering system known as Dalereckoning is actually a commemoration of humankind being given permission to settle in the lands north and west of the Inner Sea. Most of the current Dales are relative newcomers, the older having been abandoned, destroyed, or overrun long ago. In those ancient days, when Suzail and Chondathan (now called Saerloon) were mere coastal trading posts, the elves who ruled this forest entertained a request from settlers from the East; refugees and farmers from far-off Impiltur and Damara. This request was to farm and settle the borders of the great forest Cormanthor, in particular the rich delves and dales along the rivers Arkhen and Ashaba. These newcomers did not wish to lumber or clear the inhabited forest, but only to settle on the rich territories on its edges, and unlike some other settlers (early Sembia comes to mind) were willing to ask permission. The lords of the Elven Court granted that request in return for aid from these new Dalelanders against outside aggression, both monstrous (orcs and goblins from the lands of Thar) and human (the rising powers in Cormyr and Sembia). In commemoration of this pact, humans and elves raised the Standing Stone that is now seen where the Moonsea Ride reaches Rauthauvyr's Road, the road from Essembra to Hillsfar. It is from the date of the raising of this stone that Dalereckoning is counted. According to the pact made, the Dalesmen would only settle those regions that were unforested or unclaimed by the elves. As the elven woods receded under the axes of further invaders and settlers, old Dales perished and new ones came into being along the borders of the woods. People, both good and bad, have raised petty nations in the Dalelands since, though any one Dale that turned against the pact would have to deal with the others. Each of the Dales is a large swath of farms and fields, with a few scattered settlements and usually one central marketplace, capital, or Dale center. These centers are often, but not always, named after the Dales they are in, adding to the confusion as to what is a Dalelands territory. The Dales are not city-states, for their largest groupings of population rate as towns at best, and they lack the defensive walls common throughout the Heartlands. They are neither true nations in the fashion of Cormyr or Sembia, and occupy a gray middle ground wherein they are nothing more, or less, than Dales. Each Dale has slightly different laws, customs, and military organizations. Many rely on the work of charismatic heroes and adventuring companies for aid in times of trouble, and a large number of these individuals use the region as a base. This attraction for adventurers is further increased by the large number of elven and pre-elven ruins in the area and the departure of the Elven Court for Evermeet, leaving the woods open for exploration and exploitation. The history of the Dales is filled with battles and attacks on its various members. In the Year of the Worm (1356 DR), Scardale, under the command of Lashan Aumersair, launched a number of swift attacks, conquering a number of the surrounding Dales. A coalition of forces from the others, as well as Sembia, Cormyr, and Zhentil Keep crushed the invaders and occupied Scardale. During the Time of Troubles (1358 DR/0 PR), Shadowdale was attacked by Zhentil Keep. More recently, the Dalelands have committed forces to a unified army under King Azoun IV of Cormyr to turn back the Tuigan Invasion (1360 DR). |
| 7319 History of Cormyr: Cormyr dates its years from the founding of House Obarskyr 1,342 years ago, the first of the noble houses and the line of its kings. For the bulk of this time, Cormyr was little more than a single city (Suzail) and a few fortified outposts. At times the monarch was forced by rebellion and intrigue to rule from those outposts instead of from the throne. King Azoun is the fourth of his name and the 71st of his line. The land has been officially at peace for many yearsâ€â€since Rhigaerd overthrew the last of the border raiders. However, Cormyrean armies have taken part in many actions in nearby regions, recently mustering forces to face Gondegal, the rebel of Arabel, to occupy Tilverton on the marches of the Dalelands, and to lead a crusade against the great Tuigan horde invading from the east. One wit has noted that "Yes, the land is at peace, but the army has to keep busy." In addition to pursuing major actions, Cormyrean patrols often skirmish with bandits on the roads in the north and west, and are at present battling orcs and other creatures north and east of Cormyr in Tilver's Gap and Shadow Gap. Both of these areas are threatened by raiders who will menace Cormyr itself if they ever overrun Tilverton. Cormyr has built a fortress, Castle Crag, to defend the kingdom from attacks from that quarter, and maintains the High Horn to protect against attacks from the West. |
| 7320 History of Sembia: The land of Sembia was settled by humans coming to the Sea of Fallen Stars from the south, and was originally chosen for its stands of huge, high-quality iliyr-wood timber so prized in shipbuilding. However, as the forests were cleared over the years, the treecutters came into increasing conflict with elves that feared the loss of their entire wood. This would undoubtedly have occurred, had not the hastily gathered mercenary troops of the fledgling land been defeated by the elves at Singing Arrows (884 DR). This battle convinced distant Chondath to abandon its holdings in the region and allow the immigrant Sembians to establish their independence (though as little more than a collection of rival city-states, much like the Moonsea or Vast of today). It also set the stage for the appearance of the Raven. The young country grew strong as farms prospered in the newly cleared lands. Craftsmen arrived from the south to take advantage of this chance to acquire land and wealth, bringing their trades with them. Rauthauvyr the Raven unified the city-states and towns in the face of the continuing "elven menace", and insisted on maintaining a standing army, which he kept in practice by policing Sembia's borders and improving its roads. At this time (913 DR), Sembia became as a true nation. The Moonsea's (Dragon Sea's) mineral wealth was discovered by humankind at about this time, and pressure began to grow for a trade road through the elven woods to make Sembia the world's gateway to all these riches. The Raven went alone as an envoy to the Elven Court. There, he asked the elders of their council to approve a road, open to humans, linking Sembia to the shores of the Dragon Sea (an earlier road had been destroyed during the conflict and was now overgrown). Raven proposed that the elves choose the route and retain control of it and the woods around it, so that no woodcutting or human settlement would occur. The elves had earlier made similar arrangements with the Dalesmen and had no difficulty with the concept of such an agreement. However, the inhabitants of Velarsdale (now Harrowdale) refused the proposal, not wanting or needing such a road at that time (curious, since later a ruler of Harrowdale commissioned the disastrous Halfaxe Trail). The elves, not wishing to offend long-time allies, refused Raven's request. Rebuffed, the Raven then threatened to exterminate the isolated elves in Amothoi, the last embattled remnant of the elves in Sembia, if the Elven Court did not cooperate. If the road were built, however, they would be free to trade, or not trade, as they wished. The elves agreed under this pressure, and Sembia's financial future was secured. Hillsfar, on the shores of the Dragon Sea, became a commercial meeting ground between humankind and elves, as did Elventree. The route the elves chose ran past the base of the Standing Stone as a reminder of earlier, less-hostile dealings between humans and elves. Over the years the elves of Amothoi came north to join their brethren or slipped away to seek Evermeet, leaving their wood to gradually disappear. Sembia grew rich under merchant leaders of increasing wisdom, such as Saer (for whom Saerb was named) and Selgar (for whom Chancelgaunt was renamed as Selgaunt). Before his death, Rauthauvyr the Raven saw that these merchants had a strong standing council of merchant elders to advise them and to ensure that no ruler could hold onto power by force of arms. Then this farsighted man, creator of a nation, now half-blind and infirm from old war wounds, rode north into the elven woods and disappeared. None know what happened to him or where his bones lie, save perhaps some few elder elves. |
| 7321 History of the Moonsea: The Moonsea has a long history as the border between the elven lands to the south and the darker, more sinister lands of the Ride and Thar, home of dragons and giant and ogre tribes in great multitudes. The deep sea was an excellent barrier to the raiders, as those tribes who sought invasion had to detour around and through the lands that would eventually hold Yulash, Zhentil Keep, and Hillsfar. The first true settlement in Moonsea was Northkeep, a shining citadel established as a beacon of civilization and a jumping-off point for merchants seeking trade with the dwarves of the Northâ€â€including not only Tethyamar, but the clans of the Cold Landsâ€â€who traded their metalwork and craft for much-needed magic. In the end, Northkeep was sunk beneath the icy waters of the Moonsea by the inhuman forces, and humankind suffered one of many setbacks in the region. So has been the nature of human habitation of this region since the beginning. Human settlements thrive for a few years, usually through sheer willpower and on the strength of a sharp sword, and then are overrun by goblins, orcs, dragons, beholders, or giants. Phlan has fallen and risen again. Yulash is a ruin where a decade ago there was a thriving town. Hulburg and Sulasspryn are empty hulks. Each of the cities of the Moonsea seems threatened with extinction in its turn, then is rebuilt. This cycle may be the reason that only the strongest and the most savage survive, even prosper, in the lands of the Moonsea. The greatest citiesâ€â€Hillsfar, Mulmaster, and the impenetrable Zhentil Keepâ€â€are all ruled by evil people who control their lands with iron grips. The lesser cities, Elventree, Phlan, and Thentia, may be less evil, but have a strong, independent, almost chaotic nature. In many ways the Moonsea is a frontier, with a frontier mentality. |
| 7322 History of the Vast: Two millennia ago the Vast was Vastar, the orcish lands. These were the breeding grounds of the goblin hordes that would spill eastward and cross the Dragon Reach in ramshackle boats to raid the elves. The orcs were overthrown by invading dwarves, who established the Realm of the Glimmering Swords. It was during this time that the first humans came to the Vast, including the mage Maskyr. The rule of the dwarves occurred against a backdrop of constant war with the orcs, such that there were perhaps only 40 years of true peace for the Realm of the Glimmering Swords. The orcs overran the dwarves, and they escaped extinction only through the aid of human and elven allies. The remaining dwarves left the region to the newly arriving humans and retreated to the east, to the south, and to isolated and hidden communities within the Vast. The most successful of the humans were the adventurers whose hunger was sated by gold and whose thirst was slaked by great deeds. This was the Time of the Glorious Fools, and there are those who will argue that it is still that age, as adventurers still rule the cities of Calaunt and Ravens Bluff. The orcs today are contained, if not conquered, and trade has grown up in the lands of the Vast. However, for many individuals with adventuring blood, it is still a wilderness in which one may prove one's worth. |
| 7323 History of the Dragon Coast: The history of the Dragon Coast is the history of money, particularly the darker side of the coin. Situated on the main trade routes between the Inner Sea and the Sword Coast, these lands never coalesced into a solid, coherent nation, like Cormyr or Sembia. Instead small petty city-states have risen and fallen, powered by greed and the most powerful merchant or pirate faction of the day. As a result, the Dragon Coast has always been the home of the smuggler, the pirate, the rogue, and the hired killer. It has been the place where those seeking to skirt the laws of more civilized nations to the north make landfall. It is here that the Red Wizards gain their access to the Western Heartlands, and where the Cult of the Dragon launches its plots to the south. And it is here that independent secret societies and assassin guilds have their greatest power. The last semblance of organized resistance to this trend was the reign of Verovan, last of the kings of Westgate. The monarchy of Westgate had long worked closely with the various mercantile and pirate factions, but Verovan attempted to stem the growing power of the merchant houses and petty lords. His sudden and mysterious death without acceptable heirs in 1248 DR opened the door for much of what now is commonplace in the Dragon Coastâ€â€corruption and treachery. It should be noted that while Verovan's name is still venerated in these lands, better known is Immurk, the greatest of the Inner Sea Pirates, a brash and flamboyant rogue who united a pirate fleet beneath him and ruled from 1164 DR to his death in 1201 DR. Such it is in the Dragon Coast, that good people are venerated, but the power of darker rogues is imitated. |
| 7324 History of the Western Heartlands: The history of the Western Heartlands is a history of endless battles and destroyed empires. In ancient times, these were the lands of the Fallen Kingdom of Illefarn, the Lost Kingdom of Man, and rumored Netheril. In more recent history, the land has been fertilized with blood and bone as forces from the Empires of the Sands surged northward, the evil peoples within Dragonspear and the Goblin Marches spilled forth, and mercenary companies moved to and fro in the service of one petty warlord after another. Recent battles leveled the Way Inn and threatened Daggerford. Even the Time of Troubles did not leave this desolate land unmarkedâ€â€Bhaal himself perished at Boareskyr Bridge, and the waters it passes over have remained poisoned to this day. The cities of the Western Heartlands are strong, independent, and varied. They are also strongly motivated by trade and listen harder to the ringing of gold than the call of battle. But something else prospers in the open landâ€â€freedom and opportunity. No nation lays claim on the Western Heartlands to land beyond that which their armies can control, and no warlord can make demands beyond the swing of his axe. Small holds and castles regularly spring up, only to be knocked down by invading forces or abandoned after a generation or two. Lost dungeons and secret citadels lie scattered throughout the land, and this rugged frontier presents more than enough opportunities for adventurers. |
| 7325 History of the Zhentarim, Two Zhents' Worth: Much confusion exists in the realms regarding Zhentil Keep and the (not-so) secret society known as the Black Network or Zhentarim. The two are closely tied, such that a speaker may refer to one when meaning the other and still be clearly understood. In general, both mean trouble. Zhentil Keep is a walled independent city on the western shores of the Moonsea. It is one of the most evil cities in the realms, a blight on the North, and a haven for Evil groups, plotting manipulators, dark religions, and foul practices. Its rulers seek to dominate the lands around it, including the Dragonspine Mountains, Yulash, Voonlar, and the neighboring Dales. The city of Zhentil Keep and its armies (known as the Zhentilar, to make matters more confusing) have destroyed Teshendale, come close to destroying Daggerdale, and for a long time had an agent ruling Shadowdale. The Zhentarim is an organization of evil priests, wizards, and inhuman creatures bent on controlling all the trade and power between the Sword Coast (meaning Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep) and the Moonsea (including the intervening lands of Cormyr and Anauroch). Its aims in the Moonsea area are the same as Zhentil Keep's, and the two factions work hand-in-glove, often sharing the same membership. The Zhentarim have a more far-reaching effect than Zhentil Keep, though, and have agents throughout the North. In addition, the Zhentarim are not limited to Zhentil Keep itself, and maintain a number of fortified outposts. Their rulership has spread with the passing years. In addition to being the dominant force in Zhentil Keep, the Zhentarim control the Citadel of the Raven and Darkhold, two important castle complexes. Over the years, more power has been moving away from Zhentil Keep (filled with a lot of unknown and untrustworthy flunkies) and into these more secure areas. Within the Dalelands area, Zhentarim smells of Zhentil Keep and vice versa, but in reality not every Keeper (yet another name for a native of Zhentil Keep) is of the Black Network, and not every agent of the Zhentarim is from Zhentil Keep. Adventurers should watch who they trust as a result. |
| 7326 History of Ulgarth: Ulgarth was settled by the great empire of Raurin, in the height of its power. When the empire was destroyed, it endured centuries of barbarism. Warchiefs united the country several times during this period. They fought many skirmishes with other barbarians, particularly those in Durpar and Var the Golden. In 202 DR, the barbarian tribes were nearly wiped out by the forces of Mulhorand. In 348 DR, a group of outlaws, fleeing the justice of the priest-kings of Mulhorand, came to Ulgarth. There they found a fertile, almost unoccupied land. They settled down, and began raising children and crops. This new society in Ulgarth gradually grew in power, while its neighbors grew apace. But while Durpar grew as a result of its commerce and its philosophy of balance, Ulgarth concentrated on agrarian pursuits. The Ulgarthians developed a highly structured caste system of lords and peasants. In 1002 DR, the centuries long skirmishes between Durpar and Ulgarth came to an end, as the two countries finally reached a balance of power. There were too many centuries of warfare between the countries for them to completely trust each other. With their mutual border well defended on both sides, both countries have given up on the idea of conquering the other. Trade between the Ulgarth and the Shining Lands has become a vital factor to both nations. Ulgarth produces many of the items that Durparians trade throughout the world. In return, Durpar trades many exotic items to Ulgarth. Of course, the Durparian merchants usually get the better of any trade. The current king, Drasna the Fortunate, has continued on his predecessor's policy of non-aggression with the Durparians. |
| 7327 History of the Drow, The Descent: We know very little of the Ilythiiri, or "elves of the South," before this crucial event. Even then they were known as "dark elves," for the hue of their skins. They dwelt in the jungles and hot forests of the South. A proud, warlike, culturally advanced (some sages of other elven peoples say "decadent") folk, the Ilythiiri attacked all neighbors, including other elven tribes. Their cruel raids and depredations, ordered by warlike nobility and the clergy of their two cruel deities, Ghaunadaur and Lolth, forced elves, humans, dwarves, and others to ally against them. Defeated in a series of titanic magical battles, the dark elves fled into underground warrens they had earlier discovered. This event, known as "the Descent," marked the end of the drow as a surface-dwelling race. |
| 7328 History of the Drow, The Dark Wars: The warlike drow nature did not change when they escaped their surface foes during the Descent. In fact, they immediately launched a series of wars to establish territories in the Underdark. They began by stealing and seizing dwarven magical items and using them against the dwarvesâ€â€establishing an enmity that is still strong today. The drow then fought among themselves, noble against noble, priest against priestess, for rule of their new realm. This all-out war ended amid great magical explosions that brought down the roof of the largest dwarven cavern they had seized, great Bhaerynden. The ceiling collapsed entirely, burying many drow and the shattered dwarven cities. The cavern, now open to the sky, became known as the Great Rift. The surviving drow nobles gathered what people, slaves, and equipment they could seize and fled into the Underdark in search of places to dwell. "The Scattering" brought about the many rival, self-interested cities where most drow live today. |
| 7329 History of Waterdeepâ€â€Age 0, Trademoots and Pioneers: Few now know the true history of this great city, which had its beginnings over a thousand years ago, when the North was truly what Southerners still sneeringly call it: "the Savage North." In those days, most of the North was covered with vast, tall forests of ancient green, and inhabited by dwarves and goblinkind (in the most northern mountains and foothills) and elves (in widely scattered forest enclaves everywhere else). A few primitive human tribes lived along the Sword Coast, fishing and hunting and gathering in spring and fall to trade their furs for the merchants' jewelry and metal tools, or the occasionally available weapon or two, with vessels sailing in from the South. In the spring, these vessels came primarily to cut and take huge trees for shipbuilding, trees being no longer available in such large sizes farther south. In the fall, the vessels came in to cut timber for their own repairs, or to take on a cargo of wood if the misfortunes of trading had left their holds low or empty. Most of these trademoots were at a certain place where there was a great natural deep-water harbor, protected from the sea by a rocky spur of land, an arm of an isolated coastal crag, and a rocky island beyond it. |
| 7330 History of Waterdeepâ€â€Age I, The Rise of the Warlords: Over the years, the forest was cut back farther and farther from the shore, and tribes began to stay most of the year there, farming the cleared land. The wiser among them claimed and controlled some of the timber in order to trade for more weaponry and tools. Such claims angered many who found the squatters rich from frequent trade, and brought attacks from land and sea, the more warlike tribes slaughtering the more sedentary settlers. Noted among these tribes was that led by Nimoar, a chieftain who ordered his people to seize the farms, crude wooden docks, trading sheds, and storage barns built up around the bay. They settled there themselves, and erected a log palisade within an earthen embankment to protect the holdings, After several abortive pirate and tribal raids, Nimoar's people thrived in their new home, a fledgling town referred to as "the town of Water-deep." Farther north, orc tribes had outgrown their mountain strongholds. Attempts to expand underground met with fierce dwarven resistance (although many small gnomish colonies were overwhelmed and wiped out), and the orcs spread out on the surface of the land, coming south and down out of the mountains, hurling their seemingly endless numbers against all who stood in their path. Here and there elven enclaves held out, but the push southward displaced many other northern inhabitants, including the "everlasting ones" (trolls), who came down into the newly-cleared lands northeast of Nimoar's Hold, those lands now known as the Trollmoors. Nimoar died of old age during this time of increasing danger. Younger War Lords led the men of Waterdeep (for so the ship-captains called the harbor) in battles against the trolls. There were many bloody struggles between men and trolls for a decade, until the magic of a Northern youth named Ahghairon turned the fortunes of war against the trolls, and the "everlasting ones" were destroyed or scattered. Ahghairon rose slowly in skill and power with the passage of years, until he became a great mage. He discovered a supply of potions of longevity (or learned the art of making such), for he lived on, still physically a man in his prime, for decade upon decade. Fearing further attacks, the men of Waterdeep raised a small keep on the slopes of Mount Waterdeep above their farms, where fire arrows from on high could defend against attacking trolls. Many outlying tribes who had come to the settlement for safety from the trolls stayed, and expanded the walls with new farms several times. War Lords ruled the Free City of Waterdeep, holding it independent and increasingly wealthy as years passed. |
| 7331 History of Waterdeep Age III, The Bloody Reign of the Guildmasters: There was great turmoil in the City as the Guildmasters argued amongst themselves as to who should govern the City, and more than one merchant of power was found murdered. Groups of liveried bodyguards appeared openly armed on the streets, accompanying their masters, and two very troubled months passed as they bickered and parleyed (and occasionally dueled in the streets). At last, they decided that all Masters should rule Waterdeep together, in a council. The lesser nobles and many townsfolk protested, saying that the Lords ruled by right and by the peoples' consent, but the Guildmasters said that the Lords had not been seen since Ahghairon's death, and that they must always have been golems or zombies controlled by Ahghairon himself, to conceal his lone rule, and indeed, the Lords were silent and unseen, and continued to be so. In truth, the Lords were real men and women whose identities had been compromised, over the years, by certain curious Guildmasters who had ordered them slain by their own closemouthed, loyal servants following Ahghairon's death. The only Lords still surviving (those who had remained secret) were Baeron, a woodworker, and Shilam, an apprentice wizard. These surviving Lords kept very quiet, and waited. The Guildmasters thought all the living Lords of the City had been eliminated, and took firm rule over Waterdeep. The Guildmasters ruled Waterdeep for only six years ere their self-interested squabbling led to bloodshed. Open quarrels and a few murders quickly erupted into a brief but vicious series of street fights and midnight attacks. This strife, ofttimes termed "the Guildwars" by sages (although it was never as long-drawn-out or so formal as to be called a "war" when it was taking place), left all but two Guildmasters dead, most of the City's best minds stilled, and much of the City's gold wasted or plundered with the Guilds in disarray. The surviving Guildmasters were Lhorar Gildeggh of the Shipwrights and Ehlemm Zoar of the Gemcutters. These twoâ€â€ruthless manipulators bothâ€â€were well-matched and could not overcome each other, though their private armies clashed often in the streets. At length, they sickened of bloodshed, after many from both families were dead in the gutters, and agreed to rule together. Two thrones were set up in Castle Waterdeep, and from then the two argued bitterly over this and that, and the City was a place of tension and fear. All matters, including the recognition of new Guildmasters to rule the "headless" guilds, had to come before the Two Lords Magister, as Lhorar and Ehlemm were called. Few matters were settled. |
| 7332 History of Waterdeepâ€â€Age II, The Lords' Rule Begins: In his 112th winter, Ahghairon had a sharp disagreement with Raurlor, who was then Warlord of Waterdeep. Raurlor wanted to use Waterdeep's acquired wealth and strength-of-arms to create a Northern empire, with Waterdeep its capital (and Raurlor its ruler), and gathered armies for the purpose. Ahghairon defied him before all the people, and Raurlor ordered the mage be chained. Ahghairon magically struck aside all who sought to lay hands on him. In a fury Raurlor struck at the mage with his own blade. Ahghairon rose into the air, just out of reach, and, as the infuriated Warlord slashed repeatedly at his rising feet, gestured. Raurlor's blade transmuted in his hand, from steel into a hissing serpent, which promptly bit him. The Warlord died of the venom before the shocked people assembled there. Ahghairon then gathered all the captains of Waterdeep's army, and all the seniors of the families of Waterdeep. While runners sought to bring them to the Castle, flames roared and crackled in the Warlord's empty chair-of-state at Ahghairon's bidding, so that no one sat there. Then at a gesture from the mage, the flames were gone as though they had never been, leaving the chair unmarked. Ahghairon seated himself, then, and proclaimed himself the first Lord of Waterdeep, saying that henceforth wisdom and not armed might would rule in the city. He would gather some fewâ€â€in secretâ€â€to rule as Lords with him, masked and disguised when they appeared to the people, but equal to him in authority and free of coercion by any, himself included. These Lords were to be drawn from all walks of life in the city, and could serve as long as they wished. The people heard, and agreed, and for the next two hundred years, Ahghairon ruled Waterdeep with his unknown fellow Lords, Over the years, the masked Lords were a group of sometimes five, six, or seven, who appeared seldom and said little. Some whispered that they were Ahghairon's servants, or even magical automatons controlled by the Old Mage. Still, Ahghairon's justice was swift and fair, his laws good, his guardsmen polite and just as ready to help as apprehend, and the people approved. The years passed in peace and prosperity. The North was opened to humans. Roads built under Ahghairon's direction linked it together, from the ruins of "the Fallen Kingdom," which had been shattered by goblin races' attacks before men were numerous in the North, to the cities that would later become Amn. Waterdeep grew fivefold in size and wealth. From all over the realms, folk began to come to the "Crown of the North," drawn by moneyâ€â€and among them came those who rob, cheat, and steal. When word of doings extending beyond simple theft to deception-in-workmanship and the appearance of many fly-by-night impostor craftsmen reached Ahghairon's ears, he called together the senior merchants, "the Noble Ones," and suggested that they form guilds as was done in the far South to police the unscrupulous of their own professions. Some resisted, or were furious, but most saw the advantages of such an arrangement, particularly if they were free to set matters up themselves, and not have less favorable arrangements forced upon them. The Guilds were created forthwith, Waterdeep continued to grow in size and prosperity, Twice more the city walls were expanded, and its merchants traveled the world over, bringing back exotic goods from afar, and spreading word of the city's wealth to remote lands. In the South, some listened with an eye to conquest or at least plunder, but swords were already out in those southern lands in a time of widespread strife, and no invaders came. Ahghairon's health eventually failed and he died. He was buried with ceremony in his tower, which was secured against thieves and fools. Those who learned the arts arcane from the Old Mage cast the most potent protective magics known upon his home and resting-place (which, many believe, remains inviolate today). |
| 7333 History of Waterdeepâ€â€Age lV, The Return of the Lords: One day to the Courts of the Lord Magister came two people masked and robed as the Lords of Waterdeep of old. Where they came from no one knew, but they appeared in the Castle's Great Hall where the Courts were, and commanded the Lords Magister to leave the city forthwith. Laughing, the Lords Magister refused, whereupon the shorter of the masked intruders (the lady Shilam, apprentice to Ahghairon and his undeclared heir as first Lord of the City) blasted them with lightning and fire, and their very thrones were shattered and toppled. The taller of the two intruders (Baeron) then called for the heads of the noble houses to come to them, or leave the city forthwith and forever, if they cared not to come by nightfall. All in the Courts heard, and the news was cried in the streets. The surviving nobles came, reluctantly and with bodyguards, expecting such a summons to be a trap. Baeron spoke to them and the crowd of curious townsfolk that had also come, saying, "this must not happen again." If Waterdeep was to be safe once more, he told them, all must support what he and his fellow Lord now planned, as they had supported Ahghairon in the past. The two would choose others to be Lords as before, he said, and they would rule in secret, as beforeâ€â€save for himself. He removed his mask, and said, "I am Baeron. I would be Lord as Ahghairon was before. I would be safe in this my city again." And the folk of Waterdeep there agreed. Shilarn, still masked, commanded that the houses of the Two Lords Magister be Outcast. There was protest, and she raised her hands that had blasted the thrones, and it was still again. And the house of Gildeggh and of Zoar were outcast. Peace returned to the city, and Waterdhavians to their labors. To inhibit discovery of who the Lords were, Baeron selected certain men of character whom he knew well, and appointed them Magisters ("Black Robes," they were soon called, from their robes of office) under the Lords, to judge and apply the laws of Waterdeep in daily affairs. These Magisters he paid well, to raise them from temptation, and gave lodgings to those who feared for safety to dwell among the people. To so serve, he told the city, was a burden, not a proud misuse of authority, and if any wished to no longer serve, or were found wanting, they were not to be vilified, but accorded respect. And over the Magisters the Lords sat in their Court, to correct and overrule the judgments of the Magisters. Baeron told the people that none were to decry or belittle any judgments of Magisters that the Lord saw fit to alter or cast aside. If any thought ill of the offices or those who held them they could turn back to the rule of sword and whim, and perish as had those before them. Before the Lord's Court Baeron encouraged people to speak freely for the length of a short candle's burning, without fear of chastisement or reproach from the Lords for anything said, as long as they spoke openly and answered questions or opposing views put to them by any there. Thus, he held, just grievances of folk would be heard, no matter how small the matter or lowly the speaker. And so it was. Slow to take hold, until people knew it for careful justice, but enduring beyond Baeron's time, and beyond Shilarn's time, and beyond the time of their daughter Lhestyn "The Masked Lady," who wed Zelphar Arunsun of Neverwinter, and was mother to Khelben "Blackstaff' Arunsun, a Lord of Waterdeep today, who knows the secrets of long years as Ahghairon did. And as the years have passed, Waterdeep has grown in size and variety, flourishing with good trade under the tolerance and protection of strong defenders and good government. The years passed not without troubles, varying from the Godswar (when Waterdeep played host to gods dying and ascending) to such occurrences as a green dragon assailing the Field of Triumph (part of a plot by the Knights of the Shield to overthrow the Lords' Rule), but the city and her peoples survived and prevailed against all strife. The Lords' Alliance provides continued safety for all the settlements of the northern Sword Coast and those inland, with Waterdeep as the heart of the alliance. Though it can be matched in size or commerce, there is no city the realms over that compares to the sheer variety of life and experiences found in fair Waterdeep, Crown of the North. |
| 7334 History of the Unicorn Run: Bards and sages pass down the tale that the headwaters of the Unicorn Run are, in truth, the Font of Life and a cradle of fecundity. Each natural race is said to have emerged from the womb of Chauntea onto Toril at the river's source and then traveled down the Unicorn Run to the outside world. Some say that a daughter of Chauntea resides at the river's source to usher the newborns into the world, while others claim that Shialla midwifes the process. Regardless of the truth, the elves, korreds, and halflings all agree that the Unicorn Run is sacred to life and a site of incredible purity. As a result, all three races have strong taboos about extended trips up the run, for if the river is ever fouled, then no new races will ever be born on Toril again. |
| 7335 History of the Dead Three: 'KNUCKLEBONES, SKULL BOWLING, AND THE EMPTY THRONE' In ages past there was but one god of strife, death, and the dead, and he was known as Jergal, Lord of the End of Everything. Jergal fomented and fed on the discord among mortals and powers alike. When beings slew each other in their quest for power or in their hatred, he welcomed them into his shadowy kingdom of eternal gloom. As all things died, everything came to him eventually, and over time he built his power into a kingdom unchallenged by any other god. Eventually, however, he grew tired of his duties for he knew them too well. Without challenge there is nothing, and in nothingness there is only gloom. In such a state, the difference between absolute power and absolute powerlessness is undetectable. During this dark era, there arose three powerful mortalsâ€â€Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkulâ€â€who lusted after the power Jergal wielded. The trio forged an unholy pact, agreeing that they would dare to seek such ultimate power or die in the attempt. Over the length and breadth of the realms they strode, seeking powerful magic and spells and defying death at every turn. No matter what monster they confronted or what spells they braved, the three mortals emerged unscathed at every turn. Eventually the trio destroyed one of the Seven Lost Gods, and they each seized a portion of his divine essence for themselves. The trio then journeyed into the Gray Waste and sought out the Castle of Bone. Through armies of skeletons, legions of zombies, hordes or noncorporeal undead, and a gauntlet of liches they battled. Eventually they reached the object of their lifelong questâ€â€the Bone Throne. "I claim this throne of evil," shouted Bane the tyrant. "I'll destroy you before you can raise a finger," threatened Bhaal the assassin. "And I shall imprison your essence for eternity," promised Myrkul the necromancer. Jergal arose from his throne with a weary expression and said, "The Throne is yours. I have grown weary of this empty power. Take it if you wishâ€â€I promise to serve and guide you as your seneschal until you grow comfortable with the position." Before the stunned trio could react, the Lord of the Dead continued, "who among you shall rule?" The trio immediately fell to fighting amongst themselves while Jergal looked on with indifference. When eventually it appeared that either they would all die of exhaustion or battle on for an eternity, the Lord of the End of Everything intervened. "after all you have sacrificed, would you come away with nothing? Why don't you divide the portfolios of the office and engage in a game of skill for them?" asked Jergal. Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul considered the god's offer and agreed. Jergal took the heads of his three most powerful liches and gave them to the trio that they would compete by bowling the skulls. Each mortal rolled a skull across the Gray Waste, having agreed that the winner would be he who bowled the farthest. Malar the Beastlord arrived to visit Jergal at this moment. After quickly ascertaining that the winner of the contest would get all of Jergal's power, he chased off after the three skulls to make sure that the contest would be halted until he had a chance to participate for part of the prize. Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul again fell to fighting as it was obvious their sport was ruined, and again Jergal intervened. "Why don't you allow Lady Luck to decide so you don't have to share with the Beast?" The trio agreed, and Jergal broke off his skeletal finger bones and gave them to the players. When Malar returned from chasing the skulls, he found that the trio had just finished a game of knucklebones. Bane cried out triumphantly, "As winner, I choose to rule for all eternity as the ultimate tyrant. I can induce hatred and strife at my whim, and all will bow down before me while in my kingdom." Myrkul, who had won second place, declared, "But I choose the dead, and by doing so I truly win, because all you are lord over, Bane, will eventually be mine. All things must dieâ€â€even gods." Bhaal, who finished third, demurred, "I choose death, and it is by my hand that all that you rule Lord Bane will eventually pass to Lord Myrkul. Both of you must pay honor to me and obey my wishes, since I can destroy your kingdom Bane, by murdering your subjects, and I can starve your kingdom, Myrkul by staying my hand." Malar growled in frustration, but could do nothing, and yet again only the beasts were left for him. And Jergal merely smiled, for he had been delivered. |
| 7336 History of the Last March of the Giants: East of the Great Rift in the Eastern Shaar once stood a land of the titans. This empire rose at the dawn of time in Faerûn, and its lords thought to challenge the gods in their arrogance. In punishment, the powers cursed the reigning monarch of the land with fascination and his brethren with devotion. The powers then dropped a star onto the land. The impact of the fallen star created a huge valley later known as the Sea of Fallen Stars. Slowly picking up speed, the gall rolled through the titan nation and onward to the south. Unable to contain his curiosity, the titan king ran off after the bouncing sphere and his devoted followers dutifully followed his tracks. The meteorite rolled on and on until it reached the Great Sea and vanished into the depths. The monarch dove into the sea, and, lemminglike, the entire titan race dove in after him, never to be seen again. Ashamed at the destruction they had wrought, the powers vowed to keep both curiosity and loyalty firmly in check to avoid such disasters in the future. They have done so to this day, preventing both new ideas from being pursued with any speed and the intelligent races of Toril from ever fully cooperating. |
| 7337 History of the Sisters of Light and Darkness: This was the birth of the world and the heavens. After Lord Ao created Realmspace, there was a period of timeless nothingness, a misty realm of shadows before light and dark were separate entities. Within this dim chaos stalked 13 lords of shadow, the Shadevariâ€â€whether they came from elsewhere or are children of the shadow itself, none can say. Eventually this primordial essence coalesced into twin beautiful goddesses who were yin and yang to each other; they were so close they thought of themselves as one being. The Two-Faced Goddess created the heavenly bodies of the crystal sphere and together infused them with life to form the Earthmother, Chauntea. (Although Chauntea has since contracted her essence to encompass only Abeir-Toril, in the beginning she embodied all matter in Realmspace.) This new universe was lit by the face of the silver-haired goddess, who called herself Selûne, and darkened by the welcoming tresses of the raven-haired goddess, Shar, but no heat or fire existed within it. Chauntea begged for warmth so that she could nurture life and living creatures upon the planets that were her body and limbs, and the two sisters-Who-Were-One became divided, as for the first time they were of two minds. Silvery Selûne contested with her dark sister over whether or not to bring further life to the worlds. During this great conflagration, the gods of war, disease, murder, and death, among others, were created from residues of the deific battle. At one point during the battle, Selûne seized the advantage and reached across time and space to a land of eternal fire. Fighting the pain of the blaze, which burned her sorely, she broke off a fragment of that ever-living flame and ignited one of the heavenly bodies so that it burned in the sky and warmed Chauntea. Incensed, Shar redoubled her attack on her injured twin and began to snuff out all light and heat throughout the crystal sphere. Again Selûne gave of herself and tore the divine essence of magic from her body, flinging it desperately at her sister in defense of life in the sphere. This essence entered Shar, ripped an equal portion of energy from her, and reformed behind her as the goddess of magic, known now as Mystra, but then as Mystryl. Though Mystryl was composed of both light and dark magic, she favored her first mother Selûne initially, allowing the silver goddess to win an uneasy truce with her more powerful, dark twin. Consumed by bitterness at her defeat, Shar vowed eternal revenge. The twin goddesses contested for eons as life struggled into existence on Toril and the other planets under Chauntea's watchful gaze. Shar remained powerful, but bitterly alone, while Selûne waxed and waned in power, often drawing strength from her allied daughters and sons and like-minded immigrant deities. Over time, Shar grew strong again, aided by the shadevari who preferred night to blinding light and who stalked the realms seeking to meld light and dark into shadowy chaos once again. Shar's plot to reform the world after her own desires was undone when Azuth, the High One, formerly the greatest of all mortal spellcasters and now consort to Mystra (incarnate successor to Mystryl), found a way to imprison the shadevari in a pocket-sized crystal sphere located beyond the edges of the world by creating the illusion of a realm of shadows. The Lords of Shadow were drawn to investigate, and before they discovered the trick, Azuth imprisoned the shadevari with the Shadowstar, a key of shadows forged by Gond. The High Lord then hurled the key into the endless reaches of the cosmos allowing life to flourish on in Chauntea's loving hands. |
| 7338 History of the Valley of the Gods: It is said that even the powers must cavort and amuse themselves once in a great while. Far to the north of the Spine of the World is the Valley of the Gods. A paradise unequaled on this world or in the planes, this playground of the gods is not meant for mortals. Any mortal who reaches the Valley becomes a deity, for only deities may exist in the Valley. Far too many mortals with delusions of grandeur have thrown away the pleasures of this side of the Spine and their kingdoms in this world, only to break their backs searching for the legendary Valley of the Gods. |
| 7339 History of the Fateful Coin: Old tales tell that luck plays a crucial role in each person's life. When each newborn baby enters into the realms, Tymora flips a coin formed from the remnants of the original goddess of luck, Tyche. Beshaba calls it in the airâ€â€the moon (heads) or the cloak (tails). If Beshaba is right, that person is cursed with misfortune for the rest of his or her days. If she's wrong, Lady Luck smiles on that child for the rest of his or her life. For some rare beings, the coin lands edge onâ€â€and these luckless few can forge their own fates, for they have more freedom over their destinies than the powers themselves. |
| 7340 During the Tethyrian civil war, the Battle Axe of Mauletar was in the possession of the house of Ossyind. This noble family was betrayed while trying to flee the country, and Mauletar, lead guard and personal friend, took up the axe and sacrificed himself to buy enough time for his companions to flee. His battle cry was favored by the gods, and was echoed across the lands as a symbol of devoted friendship and loyalty. Thus, the magical axe was used to uphold these virtues against those who lacked honor and courage.

| 7343 The tale of this weapon lost its significance in the sea of great stories that are told about the High Forest, but some bards still sing the song of the skilled archer Adaniss Rhyte. "Oh, shocked from the strike of his powerful bow, The slain game sought by Adaniss falls. Long ago in the time of the Quiet Earth, The hunt from the famed High Forest calls. "The Duke of Everlund known for his boast Of the trophies held in his pride as dear. Intensely enraged at his rival hunter Whose bounty by far surpassed his one year. "One morn tragedy befell the land With the misconceived death of the Duke's prized hound. Fallen at the base of a great elm tree A bow's shot death in its heart was found. "With skill so great targets in his eyes were at the mercy of his arrow's flight. His hands sure and still, Never missing a kill, None could match the marksmanship of Adaniss Rhyte. "The same eve Adaniss called on the Duke, His solemn mistake he wished to repay. But the noble's rage claimed ten pounds of flesh And an archer's arm hit the ground that day.

"In sorrow the town helped him forge an axe Blessed to honor his most glorious day. With the mark of Rhyte's arrow to guide its strike And reputed to kill in the very same way.

| 7344 Suryris, a white minotaur who traveled the Orsraun mountains in Turmish, lived for nothing but the thrill of combat and encouraged warriors to challenge him for his magical weapon: a powerful halberd. Despite his aggressive nature, he was an honorable combatant and never slew opponents he could overpower. Suryris met his superior only once, in a battle that lasted hours and had the minotaur often fearing defeat. The contest ended when his opponent's sword broke, but Suryris knew he likely would have been bested had it continued. He presented his weapon to the astonished man, who thereafter told of this noble creature to anyone who would listen.

| 7345 At a first glance, this sword appears much like any other. In the presence of any shapeshifting creature, however, the blade becomes warm as its power stirs. Its namesake was the original owner of the weapon, and his tale, though mostly long forgotten, was wrought with treachery and deceit. Rumors persist that he paid a fearsome price for this blade, but with it he revealed the true identities of those that sought to betray him. Their names and crimes however, are long since lost to history.

| 7346 Blades of this type were long used by Sharran priests during the sacrificial rites of "Feast of the Moon" ceremonies. Legends say that, when she passed on, the remains of this sword's wielder were mummified and the blade was placed within her chest as a symbol of power. In the first stage of a long forgotten ritual, she was to have been exhumed in a season, born again in some new form. Unfortunately, cult wars killed the few that knew of her existence; her tomb became a prison where she was forgotten, and there she developed a rage that bordered on insanity. Her grave was eventually found, but it was deserted and gave no indication of her whereabouts. Some venture to say that her anger was so concentrated that she became one with the very blade of her weapon. Regardless, after hundreds of years surrounded by constant hate, the sword harvested a power of its own. It is now exceedingly deadly in combat.

| 7347 Sword of Quickness: Kundane +2 Disfigured as a child, Dramnek Olk was ostracized and ridiculed by his peers. In his loneliness he spent many hours alone on the hills overlooking Trademeet. A nearby wizard, Galloma, discovered the youth and found in him a kindred soul. The two fast became friends; master and apprentice. Galloma died before Dramnek's tutorage could be completed, however, and the youth found himself once more alone in the world. Eventually he made his way to the streets of Athkatla. There he became a cutpurse, augmenting his thieving skills with the little magic he'd learned from Galloma. Eventually he crafted this sword, which enhanced Dramnek's weak physical body. This weapon has no speed factor.

After serving at each other's side for the entirety of the war they fell in love and eventually married.

| 7350 Longbow of Marksmanship: The Dead Shot Driven by years of rivalry, the Dukes of Spandeliyon and Delthuntle decided to organize a private contest that would proclaim the better Archer between them. Both boasted the power of their magical bows, but that wasn't enough for Edwall Dest, Duke of Spandeliyon. He arranged for the theft of his opponent's bow, and on the day of the contest, he couldn't help gloat in his advantage. The Duke of Delthuntle, known only as Raymond, demanded a demonstration of Edwall's skill on a scarecrow that he had placed. Edwall Dest drew his longbow and released the arrow with determination, not stopping to think how uncannily the target resembled himself. The missile split the large voodoo doll's head in twain, and at that moment Edwall's head did much the same.

A deadly confrontation followed when the loggers dared to try and cut down a great oak tree, nearly killing the dryad linked to it. With the help of powerful forest animals, Hannable slew entire bands of orcs before any more damage was inflicted upon the wood. The orcs were forced to abandon their plans lest they suffer the continued wrath of Hannable and the forest.

During a fierce battle between a human cavalry division and a hobgoblin horde, the young man was sent for reinforcements. He was beset by a cascade of arrows that nearly blocked out the sun, and he knew that even if he avoided the arrows himself, should his horse fall he would surely be doomed. With his shield and body he positioned himself to take the brunt of the onslaught, and was mortally wounded for it.

Salamanders not being known for their patience, it is likely he should not have pestered his "instructor" quite so much. The finger bearing the finished ring was indeed untouched by the inferno that claimed his tower. Had that finger still been attached, Batalista himself might have fared better.

Gregoria the Foole, a Jester by trade, would use his incomparable sleight of hand to switch this ring with that of a patsy taken from his audience. The rest of his performance would involve the mocking of the newly clumsy individual, much to the delight of their comrades. The ring was removed (by a method known only to the wily Jester) only once the stooge had promised no reprisals for the treatment he had received, though Gregoria frequently still had to make a hasty retreat. His last known performance was rumored to have been an ill-humored mage in Zhentil Keep: a show from which he did not flee quite fast enough.

Working a crowd in broad daylight, the rogue would steal countless numbers of purses from nobles, replacing them with bags of sand so the theft would go unnoticed. His identity was never known, but the name "Sandthief" was cursed loudly in its stead. It is rumored he retired, and now lives among the nobles he used to rob.

| 7374 Amulet of Metaspell Influence: The Amplifier Known for its ability to enhance spellcasting, the Amulet of Metaspell Influence is highly sought after by magic practitioners. It was created by Elairdrin Mellwith, who resided in the Star Mountains. His reasons for fabricating such an item stemmed from his womanizing habits, and to this extent, the Amplifier served his purpose well. It was later taken from him by a mage with a more destructive intent, but records detailing the change of hands vary widely.

She smiled upon him, and his bare body was protected and preserved by his newly enchanted Boots of the North. With them, he crossed the ice land in pursuit of his would-be murderers.

Talos promised the destruction of the city by earthquakes, its isolation by tidal waves, and the death of its citizens by storms. One pair of these boots was bestowed to ensure that none but a single man would survive to tell the story of his wrath.

| 7392 Girdle of Blades: The Protector of the Unworthy The most infamous owner of this item forever tainted its reputation, though it is still a truly useful item. Morinden of the Wicked Heart made his living looting the bodies of those he slew. He would goad true warriors into duels of honorâ€â€though he had little knowledge of the subjectâ€â€and laugh as their blades glanced off him. Eventually he met his end at the hands of a frustrated woodsman, who had wisely cast his sword aside in favor of a tree stump. |
| 7393 Girdle of Piercing: Elves' Bane An infamous highwayman in his day, Pandar of Scardale made quite a name for himself vexing the elves of Cormanthor forest.

It was eventually passed on to Sir Tain's squire, who had served him faithfully for almost ten years. Alas, the young man had neither the strength, nor the skill to uphold his master's legacy.

| 7396 Helm of Defense: Gift of Peace Prized for its noble origin as much as for its benefits to the wearer, this helm was originally intended to be a simple gift. There was no great crisis at hand, nor dangerous evil to be overthrown; just a wish for a friend to give a gift to another. It could just have easily been a good book or bottle of wine, but adventurers are eminently more practical in their gift giving. The helm has seen many great battles since its creation, but the simple virtue at its core is what has always been remembered.

| 7419 Your opinion is noted. Let us travel onward, for I am ever willing to take my chances. |
| 7420 And if I say that the great stag casts aside its wondrous mantle as the long winter approaches, should it be my concern if you draw any comparisons to your... |
| 7421 Aye, north of the battlefield as he had said. You make the correct choice, <CHARNAME>. |
| 7422 Skullcrusher +3 |
| 7423 Do what you will, though I warn you, I shall not stand for this foolishness forever. |
| 7424 Yes, yes, yes, now will you please cease your prattle?! |
| 7425 Hold up, wayfarers. I've a few queries for this lowly group of middling pilgrims. |
| 7426 Morning Star +2 |
| 7427 Poor Edwin. When nature casts aside an appendage, she is confident it will return in the proper season. My heart weeps for your insecurities. Weep, weep. |
| 7428 Sorry, we have no time to speak with you at the moment. |
| 7429 What is it that you wish to know? |
| 7430 I've traveled an arduous distance. A Red Wizard of Thay needn't explain himself. If my inquiries are ignored, I will interrogate you in a painful fashion. |
| 7431 The Sleeper +2 |
| 7432 How about forget it? No questions and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. |
| 7433 All right then, what are these questions that can't wait until later? |
| 7434 I know, I know. Fine. None of you are afraid to die... you just don't want to be there when it happens. I'll make this quick then. |
| 7435 We are interested in the whereabouts of Edwin, a long-winded bag of gas. Homeland magics indicate this area to be a likely place for the vulture to roost. |
| 7436 (I wonder what his nature would say about the cleansing power of fire. I wonder.) |
| 7437 Wyvern's Tail +2 |
| 7438 Why exactly are you seeking Edwin? |
| 7439 Sorry, I have no idea who this Edwin is, or where he might be. |
| 7440 See that woman over there? That's your man, though he is now a she through the effects of a curse. |
| 7441 Longbow +2 |
| 7442 There is a king's ransom for the kind soul who would be so obliging as to turn the impotent imposter over to the proper judicial authority. |
| 7443 As it happens, his prowess as a spellcaster consists of parlor tricks and balls under coconut shells. Did I mention the fantastic reward as well? |
| 7444 Elven Court Bow +3 |
| 7445 Mana Bow +4 |
| 7446 Reward, eh? That's Edwin right there... the woman. Now that I've done a good turn, it's time to show me the money. |
| 7447 If I should happen across this "Edwin," I'll be sure to seek you out and let you know where he is. |
| 7448 Shortbow +2 |
| 7449 Fantastic? Edwin is standing right here, disguised as a woman. Don't be fooled, it's him. |
| 7450 Tuigan Bow +1 |
| 7451 I haven't seen Edwin, but I'll be watching for him. |
| 7452 Tansheron's Bow +3 |
| 7453 Traitors! Traitorous filth! Of all the low-down, double-dealing, twisted, and perverted betrayals! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY! |
| 7454 It draws to a close, Edwin. Let your friends applaud. You've tempted the cold touch of fate once too often. The comedy is over; your day is done. |
| 7455 Composite Longbow +2 |
| 7456 Strong Arm +2 |
| 7457 Ripper +2 |
| 7458 Heartseeker +3 |
| 7459 Anomen Delryn, son of Cor, I come as the bearer of dire news. Your father requests your presence at his estate. |
| 7460 Greetings again, friends of Edwin. The guise as a woman reeks of shabby amateur glamors. The fix is in, Edwin. Your time here is done. |
| 7461 What? I've no idea of what you are talking about. (What is this fool babbling to me for?) |
| 7462 In your own inimitable fashion, Edwin, you are prodigious... at lying. Certainly not at magic or spinning wholly credible yarns. |
| 7463 Er... I am no Edwin, as you claim. I know him not. He sounds like a worthy mage of distinction, and I am probably weaker having not made his acquaintance. |
| 7464 Gods! This fictional world you live in must be a glorious place, Edwin. But in our world, I'm going to reveal your true nature with this dweomer. |
| 7465 My metamorphosis was troubling, but now I am restored. Now it is time for proper payment of the witnesses to my shame. Now it's time for you to die. |
| 7466 Edwin, you've always been a verbose charlatan. Your maudlin skills barely manifest a lowly cantrip, never mind magics to shake the earth. |
| 7467 Once you might have been a daunting foe, but no longer. I am more than able to deal with the likes of you! |
| 7468 Mass Cure |
| 7469 Mass Cure (Necromancy) Level: 5 Sphere: Healing Range: 0 Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When casting this spell, the priest must picture the faces of <PRO_HISHER> fellow party members clearly and focus on the unity of the group. Upon completion, all party members within a 30-ft. radius of the caster are healed 1d8 + 1/level Hit Points. Curing is permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage; caused wounds will healâ€â€or can be curedâ€â€just as any normal injury. |
| 7470 (Thank the gods he is not a better poet. This is one tale we would rather not see immortalized in print!) |
| 7471 Nalia, you are aware that adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which otherwise would have lain dormant? What are yours, pampered one? Those talents lay abundantly inconspicuous... |
| 7472 Edwin, I was not pampered, cajoled, or spoiled! True, I wanted for little, but yearned for more than wandering about estates. Is it not true that you're of noble birthright yourself? Calling the kettle red, wizard? |
| 7473 "I once knew a Red Mage of Thay Who dreamed of lichdom some day. He said he knew how to do it, But he still managed to screw it Up in the funniest way." |
| 7474 Ha ha ha... I see the soft spitfire does have a streak of wild child running through her. Keep living in your sanctified ignorance, Nalia. It is part of your charm. |
| 7475 Nothing in this world is more dangerous to me, Edwin, than your stupidity. |
| 7476 Mazzy, your beauty and exuberance are a sheer delightful waste. I enjoy you in your own right. For someone so short, you are quite a delightfully comely lass. |
| 7477 I do stoop to conquer, and lay down to indulge. My bedroll always has extra room, Mazzy. Too much of a decadent thing is wonderful. |
| 7478 Damning me with faint praise, Edwin? I'm flattered that the man who taught Elminster magic and Drizzt how to fight would stoop so low as to notice little old me. |
| 7479 And so it shall always be vacant, wizard. When science finally locates the center of the planes, I'm sure you'll be taken aback to find that you're not it. |
| 7480 Power Word, Sleep |
| 7481 Power Word, Sleep (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 2 Range: 90 ft. Duration: 5 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When a wizard calls upon a Power Word, Sleep spell, <PRO_HESHE> causes a comatose slumber to come upon 1 creature (other than undead and certain other creatures specifically excluded from the spell's effects). The creature targeted must have less than 20 Hit Points and gets no Saving Throw. Magically sleeping opponents can be attacked with substantial bonuses. The Sleep effect will last for 5 rounds. This spell has no effect on creatures with more than 20 Hit Points. |
| 7482 Yoshimo, every man has his follies and mistakes. In your case, those are the most interesting and trustworthy attributes you possess. (You are shiftier than me, and I don't trust myself.) |
| 7483 Somewhere in you, something terrible gathers and grows. (Can I spot kindred, or can I spot kindred?) |
| 7484 As you make your pilgrimage, Yoshimo, there will be ruin and cruel intention. Of this I am certain. |
| 7485 Edwin, you've a manner that makes each of us feel beautiful and appreciated. |
| 7486 That's only love, warmth, and candor for you and your red-robed ilk, Edwin. |
| 7487 Well, all pilgrimages must start somewhere, no? I look forward to the ruin... will be a delightful change from your company, Red Wizard. |
| 7488 Familiars cannot enter areas without party members. |
| 7489 Familiars cannot enter stores. |
| 7490 Anomen, I've been intending to ask. This Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart of which you belong... why is it that you lead the converted like lambs to the slaughter? |
| 7491 Tell it to the pilgrims at the temple, Anomen; it might inspire the idiots. The Heart has been responsible for some of the most heinous crimes against humanity. |
| 7492 'Tis very unwise to meddle with the cornerstone of civilized life in the Faerûn. The brotherhood has brought peace to tumult, so that good might prevail over darkness. |
| 7493 You'd best watch your tongue, spellfiddler, as your deliverance from this squalid plane may be at the point of a sword. |
| 7494 So, Keldorn, as a disciple of a crooked deity, do you find solace in the same secret histories, books of lies, and subversions that the rest of the miserable sheep in your horde do? |
| 7495 Let cooler heads prevail, Keldorn. I was only baiting hooks. |
| 7496 Whatever lets you sleep, paladin. (I'll dine on your eyes, cloistered coward... soon.) |
| 7497 Wizard, you've only a brief respite before I put your head in a bag and your body in the ground! |
| 7498 Judgment will be swift and pure upon thee, Edwin. Your manner says that the cruel are weak, and that kindness is to be expected only from the strong and just. |
| 7499 Tell me about your ecstatic religion, shaman. Why do you harvest mistletoe and bear witness to Mother Earth's bounty? |
| 7500 It began as a craving for connection, Edwin. The Earth and her cousins, the Sky and the Water, all spoke in tongues of ancient mystery and lore. |
| 7501 Valygar, you are aware that silence is the virtue of fools? |
| 7502 As blushing may sometimes make a harlot seem a virtuous woman, so might refusal to speak make an idiot seem a man of sense. |
| 7503 Your ignorance seems voluntary, woodwalker. Conversation is not only the vehicle of thought, it is a tremendous and efficient instrument in thinking. |
| 7504 Aim your words elsewhere, mage; I don't know why you've targeted me, but I won't take your bait today. |
| 7505 It is as I have always thought; I can neither appreciate nor understand the mind of a mage, especially one so fond of his own voice. |
| 7506 Then what's your excuse for that steady stream of mindless pollution you call talking, Edwin? |
| 7507 Bard, my considered and correct opinion of actors is this: You are irresponsible, irrational, and incapable of adult emotion without first reducing it to some banal personal, material, or sexual credo. |
| 7508 At least I don't find it necessary to have others write my life for me or have its mundane plot plagiarized from common sources. |
| 7509 As an actor, it is mandatory to be able to express and convey emotion, not be emotional. As for your inastute observation, a critic is a legless man who teaches running to the fleet of foot. |
| 7510 Aerie, I've noticed the unfortunate fact that you live by one of the great lessons of history that nothing is often a good thing to do and a clever thing to say. |
| 7511 Ruffle your feathers? Just clipping your wings to ensure you remain obsequious to your vastly superiors, my little chickadee. |
| 7512 What? Where did that emerge from, spellbinder? What have I done to you? |
| 7513 So tell me, Korgan, what think you of conflict and adversity? It seems this party is long on squawk and short on character. |
| 7514 How true, how true. As a gallant warrior-born, I correctly assumed you to be a student of warfare as well as a master of battle. |
| 7515 Dwarf, you speak the truth. A warrior without peer, like you, must be an offense to nature. The strongest in the most peril... strange how Fate weaves her tapestry. |
| 7516 The harder the conflict, the more glorious be yer triumph, I reckon, spellchucker. What ye obtain too cheaply, ye esteem too lightly. |
| 7517 Aye. The best battler is he who can smile in troubles deep, gather his strength from distress, and grow brave in reflection. |
| 7518 Survival of the fittest be the term, and that be the puzzle of the Life. The Life of adventurers. Now shut yer yap. |
| 7519 Jan, your stories are rife with discrepancies, half-truths, and bafflegab. A woeful weaver of yarns you are for one so self-professed with the talents to do so. |
| 7520 Nothing that could compete heartily with your cock-eyed narrative gems. |
| 7521 Is there an epic begging for verse rattling about in your head, Edwin? |
| 7522 Katana |

| 7531 Ninja-To +1 |
| 7532 Tell me, Jaheira, how does it feel to have significant ties to a ruthless secret society whose stranglehold over its members' conduct borders on indentured slavery? |
| 7533 Overflowing with agendas and cloaked in conspiracy. The Harper corridors clot with the blood of those who dared raise opposition to their oppressive regime. |
| 7534 Edwin, an oak staff can cave a skull from only inches away. And none would mourn your passing. |
| 7535 Protection From Fire (Abjuration) Level: 3 Range: Touch Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell lasts 1 turn per caster level. When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to normal fires (torches, bonfires, oil fires, and the like) and to exposure to magical fires (fiery dragon breath, hell hound or pyrohydra breath, spells such as Burning Hands, Fireball, Fire Seeds, Fire Storm, Flame Strike, Meteor Swarm, and so on), absorbing 50% of all the damage dealt by such magical sources. |
| 7536 Dire news, say you? What reason would I have to return to my father? |
| 7537 Your sister is dead. Most foully murdered, by all accounts. |
| 7538 I've been spying you from afar, Viconia, and your frankness, bearing, and grace have beguiled me quite profoundly. |
| 7539 Protection From Cold |
| 7540 Protection From Cold (Abjuration) Level: 3 Range: Touch Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell lasts 1 turn per caster level. When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to normal cold attacks and partial protection from exposure to magical cold such as an icy dragon's breath, spells such as Cone of Cold, etc., absorbing 50% of all the damage dealt by such magical sources. |
| 7541 Hush, dear, nonsense. The reputation of my kindred is from untrustworthy sources. Like the dark elves, a victim of cruel machinations and falsehoods. |
| 7542 Your brethren's loss is our gain... and a beautiful gain at that. |
| 7543 I'm certain there is a condition to your appraisal, Edwin. A Thayvian only has one person in their world: themselves. |
| 7544 Perhaps, wizard. Perhaps. Unlike yourself, however, I am an outcast from my people. |
| 7545 Flattery will serve you no purpose, male. I will tell *you* when you may speak to me thus. |
| 7546 Familiars cannot pick up items. |
| 7547 The price of flesh is obsession, Minsc. I've been obsessed, smitten, bewitched, and taken by many things, but the only rodent in my pants doesn't squeak when I touch it. |
| 7548 The rodent speaks to you? Verily, I've a rat in my trousers that speaks a peculiar dialect as well, usually involving transactions of coin and copious volumes of wine. You are truly a gift of the ages, Minsc. |
| 7549 Your words are strange, wizard. Stranger still are the thoughts behind them. Er, stand back a step if you don't mind. Boo has expressed a dislike for your company, and I cannot say I am surprised... |
| 7550 Is the hamster speaking to you now, Minsc? Are his thoughts entertaining? |
| 7551 I am quite used to people mocking Boo. It no longer bothers either one of us. Laugh if you will, but Minsc hears what you cannot. |
| 7552 And you wield a formidable blade indeed, warrior. Tell me, Minsc, what is the opposite of a lesson? |
| 7553 'Tis your self-fulfilling prophecy, Minsc. I don't talk to hamsters, although my mouse does have a disposition of fair renown in certain select locales. |
| 7554 Opposite of... lesson... less on... more on! The opposite of less on is more on! More on? Do you dare to insult me once again?! |
| 7555 Minsc, what breed of rat is Boo, hm? A seafaring wharf rat? The fruit-eating country vole? Perhaps the sewer-dwelling city weasel? |
| 7556 You threaten with your vaunted combat prowess? The same esteemed skill that failed miserably to protect Dynaheir from harm's clutches? |
| 7557 She was a timeworn and weather-beaten barwhore, Minsc. The lowest class of spent working-girl rubbish. |
| 7558 Not likely, cretin. I only observe, not change, the nature of people or their beasts. |
| 7559 The Red Wizard risks great harm. Boo is sensitive, and may not just go for the eyes! |
| 7560 You pick at old wounds, wizard! Continue to press and I shall make you some fresh ones! |
| 7561 You are one step away from wearing your lips as a collar, wizard! Withdraw your foolish words! |
| 7562 Then you shall pay the price for your "observations"! Those that speak ill of the dead shall join them! May you spend eternity with Dynaheir's foot in your loins! |
| 7563 Protection From Acid |
| 7564 Protection From Acid (Abjuration) Level: 5 Range: Touch Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to all acid-based attacks, whether magical or non-magical, such as Acid Arrow or a creature's special attacks. This effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 7565 Protection From Cold |
| 7566 Protection From Acid |

| 7571 Protection From Electricity |
| 7572 Protection From Electricity (Abjuration) Level: 5 Range: Touch Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to all electrical attacks, whether magical or non-magical, such as Lightning Bolt or certain breath weapons. This effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 7573 Droth |
| 7574 I'm curious, how did it feel to watch the light fade in your brother's eyes as the killing stroke found purchase? I speak of your battle with Sarevok, back in Baldur's Gate. |
| 7575 This topic is not open for discussion at the moment. |
| 7576 It was wonderful. I felt enriched for slaying my own flesh and blood. |
| 7577 It was a necessary means to an end. |
| 7578 Dead? By Helm! Murdered? How can this be? Why would you say such a thing? |
| 7579 You look pleasant enough; are you friends of that charming Lord Coprith? I've made very few friends among the merchants. |
| 7580 Yours is a decent face, however, and I bear you no ill will. My name is Lord Logan Coprith, and I am the High Merchant of this place. |
| 7581 I am truly sorry, m'lord. Perhaps you should return to your home as your father has requested. |
| 7582 When the spirit moves you, I'd be interested in your considered reflections. |
| 7583 Dunkin |
| 7584 Gamesman |
| 7585 If you happened upon another of your bloodline, what would transpire then? |
| 7586 No hesitation: I would kill them where they stood. |
| 7587 That would depend on the situation. If my kin toiled for the cause of good, then an alliance would be the goal. Otherwise, they'd meet their end by my hand. |
| 7588 Girdle of Hill Giant Strength |
| 7589 Girdle of Stone Giant Strength |
| 7590 Girdle of Frost Giant Strength |
| 7591 Girdle of Fortitude |
| 7592 Belt of Inertial Barrier |
| 7594 That attitude is candid and refreshing. If Sarevok is any indication, your siblings are a powerful lot indeed. |
| 7595 Bleeding heart! Your egalitarian streak poses more danger than your siblings! Any brethren of yours is certain to be aware of you, and should be killed on sight. |
| 7596 Slaughtering kindred will ensure dominance of the bloodline. Any siblings serve only as opposition and rivals, and must be disposed of posthaste! |
| 7597 Prediction is a crapshot, but where do you see yourself in the future? What we least expect generally happens. Do you aspire to, say, politics? |
| 7598 Protection From The Elements |
| 7599 Protection From The Elements (Abjuration) Level: 7 Range: Touch Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers 75% resistance to all elemental attacksâ€â€such as fire, cold, and electricity, whether magical or non magicalâ€â€from spells, weapons, wands, breath weapons, etc. The effect of a Protection From The Elements spell lasts 1 round per level of the caster or until dispelled. |
| 7600 Protection From Energy |
| 7601 Protection From Energy (Abjuration) Level: 8 Range: Touch Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers 75% immunity against all energy attacksâ€â€such as fire, cold, acid, magic, and electricity, whether from magical or non-magical sourcesâ€â€such as spells, weapons, wands, breath weapons, etc. This excludes any physical attacks and spell-created weapons, such as Enchanted Weapon and Spiritual Hammer. In other words, any physical damage, such as piercing, crushing, or slashing will get through. This effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 7602 Aye, and right quick. <CHARNAME>, make haste! We must head for my father's home in the Government District of Athkatla! |
| 7603 As long as I lead this group, we will do no such thing. You can do nothing for her, so let us continue on our present quest. |
| 7604 I mourn for the loss of your sister, Anomen. I am truly sorry. We shall make our way to your father's house with all haste. |
| 7605 Though I am saddened to hear of your sister's untimely demise, I have other things that I must look to first. |
| 7606 Protection From Normal Weapons |
| 7607 Protection From Normal Weapons (Abjuration) Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to all non-magical weapons. This does not include weapons that are blessed or enchanted. This spell may not be cast on someone who is protected from magical weapons. This effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 7608 Protected from Normal Weapons |
| 7609 Protected from Magical Weapons |
| 7610 Protection From Magical Weapons |
| 7611 Protection From Magical Weapons (Abjuration) Level: 6 Range: 0 Duration: 4 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to all magical weapons. This includes weapons that are blessed or enchanted. The attacks of powerful monsters are also considered magical weapons. This spell cannot be cast on anyone who is protected from normal weapons as well as anyone protected by Mantle, Improved Mantle, or Absolute Immunity. Due to the nature of this spell, with the short casting time and duration, it is mainly used to buy the wizard a few rounds in the thick of combat. This effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 7612 Mantle |
| 7613 Mantle (Abjuration) Level: 7 Range: 0 Duration: 4 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to all weapons of +2 or lower enchantment. This spell is incredibly powerful, yet has a very short duration and this, combined with its very short casting time, makes Mantle useful only in the thick of intense combat. This spell will not work in conjunction with Protection From Magical Weapons. This effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 7614 Protected by Mantle |
| 7615 Protected by Improved Mantle |
| 7616 Protected by Absolute Immunity |
| 7617 Improved Mantle |
| 7618 Improved Mantle (Abjuration) Level: 8 Range: 0 Duration: 4 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to all weapons of +3 or lower enchantment. This spell is incredibly powerful, yet has a very short duration, and this, combined with its very short casting time, makes Improved Mantle useful only in the thick of intense combat. This spell will not work in conjunction with Protection From Magical Weapons. This effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 7619 Absolute Immunity |
| 7620 Absolute Immunity (Abjuration) Level: 9 Range: 0 Duration: 4 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to all weapons except for those of greater than +5 enchantment. This spell is incredibly powerful, hence the short duration. However, the casting time is also very short, making this spell incredibly useful in the thick of combat, where buying a few seconds can mean the difference between life or death. It is important to note that this spell does not work in combination with Protection From Magical Weapons. This spell lasts for the duration or until dispelled. |
| 7621 Death Fog |
| 7622 Death Fog (Evocation) Level: 6 Range: 30 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None The casting of a Death Fog spell creates an area of solid fog that has the additional property of being highly acidic. All animal life not immune to acid suffers 8 points of damage for each round they are exposed to the vapors of the Death Fog. Death Fog will also instantly kill all summoned creatures, regardless of their Hit Dice and immunities. |
| 7623 We have had a troubled season, and strangers of indeterminate nature are a potential threat until they prove otherwise. I am Lord Logan Coprith, High Merchant. |
| 7624 If you find value in doing that which is righteous, you will go to my home. Do not and I shall leave you to the evil that engulfs you. |
| 7625 I greet you with weapons ready, for I distrust your manner. We are wary of strangers, especially ones equipped as you. I am Lord Logan Coprith, High Merchant. |
| 7626 Very well. We shall make our way to your father's home with all haste. |
| 7627 Do what you will. I care not. |
| 7628 I must discover the truth about this murder. Let us go. |
| 7629 Your answer does not suffice. You will accompany me to discover the truth about my sister's murder. Fail at this and I shall leave you to the darkness that engulfs you. |
| 7630 Very well. We shall make our way to your father's home with all haste. |
| 7631 Do what you will. I care not. |
| 7632 This is one of the few times that I actually require company and you abandon me. False friend! I cast you from my memory! You are nothing to me and shall remain nothing evermore. |
| 7633 My sister's body rots in the uncaring earth while you wander aimlessly! I must return to my home immediately so that my sister can be properly mourned. |
| 7634 We will make our way there now. |
| 7635 I will lead us there when I am ready to. |
| 7636 Then enough talk. Go! Travel onwards, for my patience is at an end. |
| 7637 Nay, you WILL lead us now. |
| 7638 Very well. We will go now. |
| 7639 Do not think to dictate my path, Anomen. |
| 7640 Ha! Your true spirit is revealed this day, and it carries the taint of a godless wanderer. Begone from my sight, for I am done with this party. |
| 7641 Curse you for bringing me to this point! I leave now to never return! You false friend. My sister's memory has been dishonored by your twisted ways! |
| 7642 We are heading to your home right now. |
| 7643 I care not. Go on your way, for you are no longer welcome in this party. |
| 7644 Too late! I've given you more than enough time to take us to my home. Get your cursed face out of my sight, for I am done with this party. |
| 7645 Nor do I have any desire to be. Burn in the Hells and perhaps your cold heart will warm. |
| 7646 Ho there! You are not welcome here. Begone! |
| 7647 Lord Anomen! Welcome home. Your father waits within. He is in the kitchen, deep in drink. |
| 7648 May I ask why you are High Merchant? You look more used to armor than finances. |
| 7649 Tell me, what trouble plagues your town? I help those in need on occasion. |
| 7650 I see. I suppose I should solve your little problem? Is that what you imply? |
| 7651 Reflection Shield +1 |
| 7652 You seem more a fighting man. How did you come by the title of High Merchant? |
| 7653 I am called <GABBER>. You spoke of trouble? Is there anything I can do? |
| 7654 I care little, but if people look my way suspiciously, I have no recourse but to help. |
| 7655 And what does "proving otherwise" involve? Must I watch my back in dark corners? |
| 7656 And I am <CHARNAME>. You seem more a military man than a "High Merchant." |
| 7657 My reputation is undeserved. Tell me what is wrong and perhaps I can help you. |
| 7658 Must I prove myself to you? Very well. Tell me your troubles and I will rescue you. |
| 7659 And I am Lord Indifferent. I don't show reverence when insulted at a glance. |
| 7660 He is angry with me? |
| 7661 Yes, m'lord. Nothing has changed. When your sister... died, things became worse. |
| 7662 I'd expected as much. Let him vent his bile on me if he so wills it. I am not the child that I used to be. <CHARNAME>, let us enter. |
| 7663 Incendiary Cloud |
| 7664 Incendiary Cloud (Evocation) Level: 8 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: 1/2 This spell creates a billowing cloud of roaring flame. Any in the area of the spell must leave the cloud immediately or suffer 1d4 points of fire damage per level of the caster each round while in the area of effect, with a Save vs. Spell for half. |
| 7665 Finger of Death |
| 7666 Auto-Paused: Scripted |
| 7667 I don't have time to speak to you right now. My apologies, but I will return later. |
| 7668 I don't have time to speak to you right now. My apologies, but I will return later. |
| 7669 I don't have time to speak to you right now. My apologies, but I will return later. |
| 7670 Dragon Scale Shield +2 |
| 7671 Sentinel +4 |
| 7672 Finger of Death (Necromancy) Level: 7 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. The Finger of Death spell snuffs out the victim's life force. The caster points <PRO_HISHER> finger at the victim after the incantation is complete, effectively ripping the life out of its body unless a Save vs. Spell is made with a -2 penalty. A creature that successfully saves still receives 2d8+1 points of damage. |
| 7673 Saving Grace +3 |
| 7674 Shield of the Lost +2 |

| 7679 Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting |
| 7680 Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting (Necromancy) Level: 8 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Instant Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: 1/2 This spell evaporates moisture from the bodies of every living creature within the area of effect, inflicting 1d8 damage per level of the caster. Affected creatures are allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell for half damage. This spell is especially devastating to water elementals and plant creatures, who receive a penalty of -2 to their Saving Throws. This spell will not harm party members. |
| 7681 It will be as though we have never met. |
| 7682 When we threatened one of the Iron Throne merchants, he told us that his leaders were at Candlekeep. |
| 7683 Allies recruited for the struggle against Bodhi I asked Prelate Wessalen of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart for assistance in the battle against Bodhi, but he has refused. His decision is final. |
| 7684 The prophecy of Sekolah In the underground sahuagin city, I played along with King Ixilthetocal's little schemes regarding my so-called place in Sekolah's prophecy until I tired of it and told him I was no longer interested. I would rather battle my way out of this place. |
| 7685 Small Shield +2 |
| 7686 Anomen returns home after his sister's death Anomen murdered Saerk's daughter, and then we did battle with Saerk, his son, and his guards. The son, Yusef, got away, but Saerk is dead. Anomen is in a dark mood. All that remains is to tell Lord Cor that the deed is complete. |
| 7687 I spent much of my career in the military, but other duties called me here. My family was influential, and it fell to them to provide a mayor for Trademeet. |
| 7688 It fell to my family to provide a leader, and I have done my best. You will find our guards the finest of the area, ready to protect all those that are deserving. |
| 7689 I see. Have you already decided if I am deserving or not? Don't keep me in suspense. |
| 7690 You will have no trouble from me, but if the dangers of the road have made my name a touch unsavory, I will not apologize. |
| 7691 You will have no trouble from me, but if the dangers of the road have made my name a touch unsavory, I will not apologize. |
| 7692 Angelo |
| 7693 That was a threat, was it not? What if I should decide to take offense? |
| 7694 I have decided that you shall be watched, but otherwise extended every courtesy. We are not above such social graces, but times have made them difficult. |
| 7695 Yes, yes, trouble around every corner. I assure you I shall lose no sleep over the matter. Goodbye. |
| 7696 And what exactly has been going on? Perhaps I can help and earn a bit of respect in the process. |
| 7697 Strength of character is to be admired, and you are welcome while you behave. We are under siege, but have not forgotten to give strangers due respect. |
| 7698 Shield of Harmony +2 |
| 7699 I thank you. Perhaps I can be of assistance after all. What is the nature of your troubles? |
| 7701 Escaping the asylum I released the inmates of the asylum and drove Irenicus off, but I will have to follow. He still has Imoen's soul, and mine. According to Saemon Havarian, Irenicus has plans in an elven city called Suldanessellar. The traitor offered to take me to the Forest of Tethir on his ship, but I don't trust him. I will follow the way Irenicus left, through the magic portal below. If I don't get my soul back, I will die. Or worse. I'll need to find the key from Irenicus's bedroom so that I can unlock the door to the portal. |
| 7702 Be'land |
| 7703 Admirable, though I still sense that you do not find my company to your liking. I'll be leaving soon enough. |
| 7704 You have not the charisma to make such a statement. You reek of arrogance. You may not be behind our current troubles, but I will watch you nonetheless. |
| 7705 That is your right. Perhaps I could look into your troubles to demonstrate my trustworthiness? |
| 7706 Then watch as I leave. I will not suffer your judgment, or that of any other. I leave you to your problems. |
| 7707 Take offense or not, you will obey the laws of decency while here. We are spread thin from the siege, but my guards can still handle such as you. |
| 7708 Then I shall pose no problem. In fact, I shall do what I can to help. What troubles you? |
| 7709 I will not stand for threats. If this be the courtesy you show strangers, then it is best that I leave. |
| 7710 Wail of the Banshee |
| 7711 Ring of Human Influence |
| 7712 Wail of the Banshee (Necromancy) Level: 9 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. At the culmination of this dreadful spell, the wizard screams like a banshee (groaning spirit). Everyone in the area of effect hears the awful cry. Those who fail a Saving Throw vs. Death die instantly. The caster and companions are immune to the effects of the wail. |
| 7713 Ring of Regeneration |

| 7720 Trademeet has been here for generations, but now we are harassed from the strangest of sources. It has been a very difficult time for the local merchants. |
| 7721 Druids, belonging to a group that has long been peaceful. The people apparently captured one. Had I not locked him up, they would have quartered him in the street. |
| 7722 What is wrong? You have a scapegoat; torture him until the incidents stop. |
| 7723 And has he confessed, or have the people condemned him for being a druid? |
| 7724 I do not understand. You have your captive; the bargaining should be academic. |
| 7725 Ray of Enfeeblement |
| 7726 Ray of Enfeeblement (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 2 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. By means of a Ray of Enfeeblement, a wizard weakens an opponent, reducing its Strength and thereby the attacks that rely upon it. The victim is reduced to a Strength of 5 for the duration of the spell unless a Save vs. Spell is made. This spell does not affect combat bonuses due to magical items, and those conferring increased Strength function normally. However the target receives all of the penalties for a 5 Strength such as attack and damage penalties as well as lower weight allowance. |
| 7727 So am I to help question this druid, or would you have me hunt his fellows? |
| 7728 I do not like the indifferent way you offer your services. If you don't wish to hear what is troubling my town, then tell me now. |
| 7729 I will help if I can. Speak your mind that I might know what I must do. |
| 7730 I do not. Perhaps it would be best if I simply left. |
| 7731 As it is, a scapegoat for the people's fears has already been found. I am not happy with this solution and could use some help if you are willing. |
| 7732 You had best give me the full story. I would know what I am going to get into. |
| 7733 No, I really have no interest in your troubles. |
| 7734 Very well then. I do not foresee an immediate end to this situation, so if you reconsider, come and speak with me again. |
| 7735 Do you wish to hear my request for help now? Answer affirmative and I shall explain what has been happening to disrupt the trade of the local merchants. |
| 7736 When we charmed the Harbor Master, he told us that there were quite a few Iron Throne merchant ships coming into port these past few weeks. He thinks they were bringing in iron. |
| 7737 Allies recruited for the struggle against Bodhi Aran Linvail has agreed to aid in the fight against Bodhi, even though the guild is weaker because of her. Any assassins he can spare will meet me beneath the Graveyard District when I am ready to face the vampire. |
| 7738 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills In Merella's cabin, I found a journal by the ranger and a note left by the adventurer I heard of earlier named Mazzy Fentan (left, it seems, for the unfortunate corpse present in the cabin). Both seem to implicate that a wolf pack is responsible for the killings, and both Merella and Mazzy went onward to investigate this pack... and have not returned. It seems likely that if I follow the directions given, I may find the answers to this mystery. |
| 7739 No, I have no time for this yet. |
| 7740 Speak on, and I shall see what I can do, if anything. |
| 7741 My reputation is undeserved. Tell me your troubles here. Perhaps I can help. |
| 7742 Very well, though any insults to follow will now be based on your insolent manner. Will you continue your posturing, or do you intend to try and help? |
| 7743 Keep your problems to yourself. I'm leaving. |
| 7744 Enough of these games. Tell what you need done, and I shall see if I can assist. |
| 7745 Mace of Disruption +1 |
| 7746 Well... heh heh heh heh... The prodigal son returns, heir to his mother's foolishness as always. Well, lemme ask you: How far have you roamed, son, running away from me? |
| 7747 Running the Five Flagons playhouse The play went well! Not without a hitch, perhaps, but then I was given little notice to suddenly play the lead before the most important audience the production was to face. I am surprised I remembered my lines at all. Still, the troupe did well enough that the play will be able to continue and remain established within Athkatla. |
| 7748 It took you long enough to get here. It wouldn't hurt you to come and see your father now and again. |
| 7749 Yet I was, and your father as well. Never forget that, boy! Your mother would still be alive if you children weren't such a handful. |
| 7750 You will listen to whatever I choose to tell you, Anomen. Respect your father, knightling. I am still the man of this family, and you will obey me! |
| 7751 Idiot boy! She's dead! Murdered by the Calishite fiends! |
| 7752 How do you think? It was Saerk the Calishite. It was not enough for him to take my business; he had to take my Moira too. |
| 7753 For years, I embarrassed him amongst the merchants, undercut his prices, and stole his customers. When my business failed, he had a monopoly on the Calimshan shipping routes. |
| 7754 He would not be happy until I had nothing. By the end, Moira was all that I had, and now he's taken her too. |
| 7755 The guards left months ago. I had no money to pay them with. Soon I will lose my house as well. Saerk has taken all of it... all of your mother's and sister's things... |
| 7756 I lost it because you abandoned your family. If you hadn't run away, Moira would still be alive. You should have been here to protect her! To save her from the brigands! |
| 7757 You should have been here, Anomen. Never forget that! It is too late to save her, but your work is not yet finished, Anomen. |
| 7758 As for your friends, they would do well to help you, for Saerk the Calishite is a very wealthy man and his gold shall be their reward. |
| 7759 Go then. She was cleansed on the pyre, and her ashes are kept in an urn by the pool. It was the place that Moira loved most of all. |
| 7760 You had best go with Anomen to his sister's memorial. It lies near the pool. |
| 7761 Speak not of my mother, drunkard. You were never worthy of being her husband. |
| 7762 Shut your mouth, Father. We've had this conversation before, and I've not the patience to listen to it again. |
| 7763 Yes, Father... I lost my temper, and I apologize. |
| 7764 Father, where is Moira, your daughter? What happened to her? |
| 7765 How did this happen? |
| 7766 But why would he kill her? She has nothing to do with your enmity. |
| 7767 Where were the guards? Why was she not protected? |
| 7768 He didn't take it, Father. YOU lost it... you lost it... |
| 7769 I'm sorry. I... I did not know... |
| 7770 What can be done? Moira is dead. |
| 7771 I must see Moira's remains first, Father. It will take but a moment. |
| 7772 <CHARNAME>, come with me to Moira's urn. I would speak with you. |
| 7773 Very well, I shall follow you. |
| 7774 I would rather not come with you. Cremated remains make me painfully aware of my mortality. It's quite depressing, really. |
| 7775 This way. |
| 7776 It is imperative that I speak with you. Please come to my sister's remains with me. |
| 7777 If you offer no assistance, then you are naught but a hindrance. Leave my home, for you are no longer welcome here. |
| 7778 Power Word, Silence |
| 7779 Power Word, Silence (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 6 Range: 90 ft. Duration: 7 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None In using this spell, the wizard points at an individual and utters the Power Word. For the next 7 rounds, that creature cannot make any sound. This silence completely foils any spells that require verbal components. The only ways to counter this spell are either a Dispel Magic or a Vocalize spell. There is no Saving Throw. |
| 7780 Dwarven Thrower +3 |
| 7781 Hammer of Thunderbolts +3 |
| 7782 Power Word, Stun (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Special Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When a Power Word, Stun spell is uttered, any creature of the Mage's choice within visual range is stunned for the duration depending on its current Hit Points: 1 to 29 Hit Points: Stunned for 4d4 rounds; 30 to 59 Hit Points: Stunned for 2d4 rounds; 60 to 89 Hit Points: Stunned for 1d4 rounds; 90 or more Hit Points: unaffected. Note that if a creature is weakened so that its Hit Points are below its usual maximum, the current number of Hit Points is used to determine this spell's effects. |
| 7783 Power Word, Blind |
| 7784 Power Word, Blind (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 8 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 6 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 10-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When a Power Word, Blind spell is cast, one or more creatures within the area of effect become sightless. The spellcaster selects one creature as the target center, and the effect spreads outward from the center, affecting all within a 10-ft. radius. This lasts for 6 rounds or until dispelled. All of the effects of blindness apply to the victims, such as a penalty to hit and to AC. The visibility range of the afflicted character is also decreased. |
| 7785 I do not stoop to such tactics, even in the darkest of times. Such methods have no place here. Doubly so because I do not believe he is responsible. |
| 7786 That is my dilemma. He claims he is here to investigate the druids, and I believe him. Unfortunately, many of our citizens already believe him guilty. |
| 7787 Phantom Blade |
| 7788 Phantom Blade (Evocation) Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell creates a translucent, shadow-like, weightless area of magical force extending from the fingers of one of the caster's hands. The silent, blade-shaped construct's cutting edges inflict damage just as those of a real sword do. The caster wields the phantom blade as if proficient with it, at <PRO_HISHER> normal THAC0. The phantom blade acts as a +3 magical sword in terms of to-hit and damage bonuses as well as the type of creatures it can hit. However, due to its etheric nature, it causes an extra +10 damage against undead creatures. This sword can only be used by the caster and remains in <PRO_HISHER> hand for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 7789 One would think so, but he is not guilty, of this I am sure. I can tell these things. He says he has been sent to investigate the druids himself. |
| 7790 Heavy Crossbow +2 |
| 7791 Something like that, though it is more complicated. He is not guilty, of this I am sure. He says he has been sent to investigate his fellow druids. |
| 7792 What I would have you do is escort him to his task, or see to it yourselves, whichever you prefer. I would seem to be collaborating if my men or I were to help him, and alone he may not make it out of town. Will you help? |
| 7793 Giant Hair Crossbow +3 |
| 7794 Light Crossbow +2 |
| 7795 I will speak with him and see if I can help. If there is anything I can do, I will do it. |
| 7796 Very well, though if we are challenged by any townsfolk, it will be their deaths. |
| 7797 I will decide only when I have spoken with this man. |
| 7798 I will help, but I must ask what I stand to gain. Ample payment should be given. |
| 7799 I need to gather a large amount of coin to rescue a friend being held by the Cowled Wizards... so I would like a reward. |
| 7800 Necaradan's Crossbow +3 |
| 7801 I have no interest in this. I must refuse for now. |
| 7802 Phantom Blade |
| 7803 Phantom Blade |
| 7804 I thank you. I will allow you to pass so you might speak with him. He may leave under promise of your care. Keep me apprised of the situation. |
| 7805 Spear +2 |
| 7806 Those that attack will have taken their lives into their own hands. Do what you must, but I will not tolerate the killing of innocents. Keep that in mind. |
| 7807 Spear +3 |
| 7808 Tenser's Transformation (Alteration) Level: 6 Range: 0 Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None Tenser's Transformation is a sight guaranteed to astound any creature not aware of its power, for when the wizard casts the spell, <PRO_HESHE> undergoes a startling transformation. The size and strength of the wizard increase to heroic proportions, and <PRO_HESHE> becomes a formidable fighting machine. The spell causes the caster to become a berserk Fighter: <PRO_HISHER> Hit Points double, and all damage <PRO_HESHE> sustains is first detracted from this magically-gained life; <PRO_HISHER> Armor Class gains a +4 bonus up to a maximum Armor Class of -10; and all <PRO_HISHER> attacks are made as though <PRO_HESHE> were a Fighter of the same level (i.e. the wizard uses the combat values normally reserved to Fighters, although no extra attacks per round are gained). Each attack also receives a +2 bonus to hit and damage rolls. The effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 7809 Fair enough. You may pass and speak with him. He may also leave under promise of your care. Good luck. |
| 7810 We are a merchant town. If the attacks are stopped, it will be a return to business and profits. Many of the merchants would be grateful if such were to happen. |
| 7811 That will suffice for now. I will speak with this druid. |
| 7812 That is no guarantee. Take up a collection or something; offer a real reward. |
| 7813 There will be no donations; the people already think they have their culprit. Once they know the truth, they will be more generous. That is all I have to offer. |
| 7814 It is not enough. You will have to find the answers to your problems yourself. |
| 7815 That will have to suffice then. I will speak with this druid. |
| 7817 Sling +2 |
| 7818 Arla's Dragonbane +3 |
| 7819 Sling of Arvoreen +4 |
| 7820 As you wish, though if you were to reconsider, I do not see an end to this situation coming any time soon. |
| 7821 Have you reconsidered? We could still use your help, even if some of the other citizens do not think so. |
| 7822 What exactly was the trouble again? Could you repeat what you said earlier? |
| 7823 Sling of Seeking +1 |
| 7824 I will speak with this druid. Let me pass. |
| 7825 Sorry, but I still have no interest. |
| 7826 See to it that you speak with the prisoner soon. The people are itching for a burning. |
| 7827 Anything you can do to help that druid will also help us. See to it that he succeeds. I thank you for your efforts. |
| 7828 We are in your debt for whatever you did. I thank you, and Trademeet thanks you. Not only have the attacks stopped, but we have received reparations from the remaining druids. |
| 7829 Hail and hello! Excuse my jovial manner, but we have been celebrating. Trademeet was under siege not long ago, and now the attacks have simply stopped. |
| 7830 I kept him for his own safety, but now I'm not sure what to do with him. Perhaps you could escort him out of town? Either that or just see that he knows he can go. |
| 7831 Mordenkainen's Sword |
| 7832 Mordenkainen's Sword (Evocation) Level: 7 Range: 0 Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Upon casting this spell, the wizard brings into being a shimmering, sword-like plane of force that leaps into the wizard's hands. The sword acts as a +4 weapon in all respects and deals 5d4 points of damage upon hitting a target. Once the spell is cast, the sword will float in the air completely under the caster's control. This does not prevent the caster from doing any other actions during the spell's duration. |
| 7833 I took care of your problem. A Shadow Druid took over the local grove. |
| 7834 Perhaps he would travel with me. I have developed an appreciation of druids. |
| 7835 I have no interest in helping this prisoner of yours. |
| 7836 You seem honest enough, though I have no way of proving it. I extend the thanks of the town if it is true, though I am still left with this Cernd fellow inside. |
| 7837 Perhaps he might. You shall have to ask him. I leave you to it. Other concerns of the town must still be dealt with. |
| 7838 Then I shall free him. A pity you will not meet him; he's interesting, and keen on traveling. Farewell. Other concerns of the town must still be dealt with. |
| 7839 I will speak with him. No doubt he would like to be elsewhere. |
| 7840 I have no interest in him. |
| 7841 Very well, I shall follow you. |
| 7842 I will not come with you. |
| 7843 Surely if Saerk killed my sister, I must avenge her murder. Yet killing for the purpose of revenge is murder by the tenets of the Order. I know not what I should do. |
| 7844 Lord Coprith is a fine man, but I expected he could not hold his people's vengeance. I am Cernd. Will you name yourselves so I know my persecutors? |
| 7845 Ahh, the blight shall pass, and I will return to cultivate better relations when the time is right. |
| 7846 Your father is correct... your sister's murder cannot go unpunished. Saerk is clearly evil, and is it not every knight's responsibility to destroy evil? |
| 7847 Do not let these thoughts of vengeance cloud your judgment. Killing for revenge is murder. Saerk must be brought to justice, and you must be the one to ensure that it is done. |
| 7848 The answer is obvious. Everything that is wrong with this situation is the product of this man Saerk's scheming... your father's poverty and sister's death both. Saerk's life shall surely be forfeit for that of your sister's, and his wealth will become your father's. |
| 7849 Mordenkainen's Sword |
| 7850 Mordenkainen's Sword |
| 7851 Black Blade of Disaster |
| 7852 Black Blade of Disaster (Evocation) Level: 9 Range: 0 Duration: 18 rounds Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell enables the caster to create a black, blade-shaped planar rift about three feet long. It jumps into the caster's hand and is used as a normal sword, remaining there for the duration of the spell. The caster is considered to be proficient to the point of Grand Mastery in this weapon. The sword acts as a +5 weapon and deals 2-24 damage to its victims. Also, every time it hits a target, the victim must make a Save vs. Death at +4 or be disintegrated. There is also a 10% chance with every hit that the sword drains 4 levels from the target and heals the wielder 20 Hit Points. |
| 7853 Black Blade of Disaster |
| 7854 Black Blade of Disaster |
| 7855 Lord Coprith sent me. I am to escort you out of town and help in any way I can. |
| 7856 Coprith sent me, but I don't trust you. What exactly are you trying to do here? |
| 7857 I am indifferent about you. Once you are out of town, you are on your own. |
| 7858 I am <GABBER>. Lord Coprith has asked that I escort you out of town. |
| 7859 Coprith wants me to take you safely out of town. What is going on? |
| 7860 My name is unimportant. I will escort you out of town and then you are on your own. |
| 7861 Coprith chose well: Caution will win the day. I will endeavor to tell you what I know, but I did not have long to gather information. |
| 7862 Do you not think that the killing of Saerk could be considered a revenge murder by the Order? |
| 7863 What if the merchants did send me? What's in it for me to save you? |
| 7864 Saerk is no less evil than a ghoul or demon, and deserves what you will give him. |
| 7865 I am called <GABBER>. What have you to offer me in exchange for freedom? |
| 7866 We should be going. Best that we do not test the patience of the local townsfolk. |
| 7867 What has poisoned their opinions? Their leader is sensible enough. |
| 7868 Perhaps it could, but would you be willing to let your sister's killer go free so that you can join the Order? |
| 7869 I won't try to mislead you. It will most likely be seen as a crime by the Order. |
| 7870 What you say holds truth; yet, as my father says, I am honor-bound to find my sister's killer and take his life. |
| 7871 As you would have it, though I would ask that you at least hear me out. Please, the seed can only hope to flourish if the rain and winds cooperate. |
| 7872 Their only concern is my death, but I have nothing to offer for crimes I have not committed. There may be tracks from the scene, but they do not lead to me. |
| 7873 If that is how you feel, we will help you find this murderer. |
| 7874 It is not unheard of, but the attacks have me worried. It can only lead to greater evils; these people will eventually strike out as an animal cornered. |
| 7875 It is the duty of any druid to find this new leader and ascertain if this is for the best of nature. The attacks on the merchants only serve to alarm me. |
| 7876 You are honor-bound to the vows you made to the Order. The path you are considering is evil, Anomen... Do not take it. |
| 7877 So shall it be. We shall set things aright and rid this world of an evil man. Come, <CHARNAME>, I must return to my father. |
| 7878 I might succeed alone, but I would much rather have the backing of a group, one that will also benefit from my service. Are you up for the task? |
| 7879 If I kill you, the merchants might reward me anyway. Can you offer better? |
| 7880 I might have use for you. What is it you need? What has been happening here? |
| 7881 Speak then, and tell me exactly what it is you fear is going on here. |
| 7882 Please, you must see through the briar and realize that reaching the other side will benefit everyone, even if not with cold coins at the front. |
| 7883 I will listen, though my mind is made up. |
| 7884 I am not quite sure, but I have suspicions. I will try to tell you what I know of this. |
| 7885 Yes, I will help as best I can. Join with me, and we shall do what must be done. |
| 7886 I will participate in this little endeavor, but only so long as there is benefit for me. |
| 7887 I will help as best I can, but I do not wish any more traveling companions. |
| 7888 I cannot help at this time. I am truly sorry, but I must decline. |
| 7889 This holds no interest for me and neither does your company. Go on your way. |
| 7890 Speak then, and I shall decide whether to help for free after I know what is going on. |
| 7891 Perhaps if there was possibility of loot... Tell me what you believe is going on. |
| 7892 I will require much more time if I must do this alone. Here is the grove on your map in case you change your mind. Think about it. Fare ye well for now. |
| 7893 Playhouse Deed |
| 7894 I cannot help at this time. I am truly sorry, but I must decline. |
| 7895 This holds no interest for me and neither does your company. Go on your way. |
| 7896 You will decide your own path. I will be near the druid grove if you change your mind. Here, I shall mark it on your map. That is all I can do for you. |
| 7897 But I fear what we will find this time. I will indicate it on your map. We had best make haste lest the nuts fall and grow before we even shake the tree. |
| 7898 Only if there is benefit for me. Join and lead the way, but I won't risk my neck. |
| 7899 All druids eventually travel to the grove to challenge for status. You will be affected as well if we fail. The grove is on your map. Let us go quickly. |
| 7900 Nor should I expect you to. Druids alone should handle these squabbles, but I am thankful for what help you can give. Come, the grove is on your map. |
| 7901 I will help as best I can, but I do not wish any more traveling companions. |
| 7902 You adopt his cause but not his company? As you wish, but I will make certain the matter is given due attention in his absence. |
| 7903 I will mark its location for you on your map. Do hurry. What transpires there will regrettably affect others outside the order. |
| 7905 Think hard on this! This matter is near and dear my own heart, and it deserves due care and attention! |
| 7906 ****** NEED AUTO-LINK |
| 7907 Playhouse Deed |
| 7908 Ooo, that'll leave a mark! |
| 7909 Like the seasons that inevitably turn the world, so must I have known that we would meet again. I trust you are here to help investigate the druid grove? |
| 7910 It is exactly in these kinds of situations that my mettle is to be truly tested. It is not so much to join the Order as it is to do what I have sworn to do. |
| 7911 I must insist that we go to the druid grove and confront the wayward druids there. If we do not, I will be forced to leave your company. The sun dost set, and night shall remove the safety of the light. |
| 7912 I agree that you are bound by your vows, but the honor of your family and your sister's memory must come first. Saerk must die for what he has done. |
| 7913 He can keep his hatred and drown his sorrows as he has always done. Yet the question of my sister's murder remains. |
| 7914 This is a matter that is best handled by the local authorities. |
| 7915 To be honest, I'm not sure that I trust your father's version of events. All that he speaks of seems to be colored by his hatred of Saerk. |

| 7917 Death Spell |
| 7918 Death Spell (Necromancy) Level: 6 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Instant Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When a Death Spell is cast, it snuffs out the life force of creatures within the area of effect, instantly and irrevocably. Creatures with more than 8 Hit Dice are immune to this spell with the exception of summoned creatures, which are automatically slain. Only enemies are affected by this spell. |
| 7919 What path shall I choose? If I choose vengeance, I shall avenge my sister's murder but be damned by the act. If I choose to keep my vows, I will dishonor my family. What shall I do? |
| 7920 I'm sure that many of the Order have faced difficult choices and yet have chosen to keep their vows. Do not take a mission of revenge. |
| 7921 The killer of your sister must not escape justice. Kill Saerk and honor your family and the memory of your sister. |
| 7922 I'm sure that many of the Order have faced difficult choices and yet have chosen to keep their vows. Do not take a mission of revenge. |
| 7923 Come, let us return to my father. He may yet be convinced to follow the lawful path. It is not my place to take revenge. Such an act would lead to chaos. |
| 7924 Enfeebled |
| 7925 Yes, I would be glad to have you in my party and help as best I can. |
| 7926 I will allow you in my group, but this task is not truly mine and I won't treat it as such. |
| 7927 I will help, but I must do so on my own. Tell me what to do, and I will do it myself. |
| 7928 I will help, but I must do so on my own. Tell me what to do, and I will do it myself. |
| 7929 I will help, but I must do so on my own. Tell me what to do, and I will do it myself. |
| 7930 Protection From Magic Energy |
| 7931 Protection From Magic Energy (Abjuration) Level: 6 Range: Touch Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers 100% invulnerability to all magic-based attacks such as Magic Missile or Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting. This effect lasts for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |

| 7941 Good. We should seek druids near the grove first; they will be indications of how serious the problem is. They may recognize me, but we shouldn't count on it. |
| 7942 We should first investigate the druids of this grove. They may recognize me and let us pass, though that would depend on how far into evil they are. Let's go. |
| 7944 There's a WHAT in their chicken? I purchased a beljuril gem from a farmer in Imnesvale who had hidden it from thieves inside one of his chickens. I paid the man a fair price, for which he was glad... apparently, his adventurer daughter had paid for the gem with her own life. |
| 7945 Go and investigate the local druids. See how far their taint runs and then return to tell me. |
| 7946 Sling +3 |
| 7948 Then I will tell you what is needed. Investigate the local druids. See what they are doing and whom they follow. I must know where the taint originates. |
| 7949 You would cast this man aside! I cannot allow this! As a servant of nature, I will not allow you to ignore the plight of this place! |
| 7950 Time is not our ally in this matter. A few days at most, though at the end of a tenday, I can wait no longer. |
| 7952 My dear, your waves of anger may move smaller stones, but the patient stream will carve a mountain. If <PRO_HESHE> wants to help alone, so be it. |
| 7953 Of course, such selfish needs should not be your motivation. If nature cannot compel you, perhaps you should not be a druid. |
| 7954 Nature has no better a servant than I! I will help, but I will do it on my own! |
| 7955 I refuse. I have no wish to participate in this. |
| 7956 I refuse. This is not my concern. |
| 7957 The winter before you will be long and cold. When you change your mind, I will need insight on the local druids. Return if you find how deep their taint goes. |
| 7958 Not your concern?! You have been given due opportunity to show you are one with nature, and you have instead chosen to spurn her when she is in need! |
| 7959 Now, child, they will face the task eventually. A druid must eventually challenge for the title of Great Druid, but not while the druid grove is compromised... |
| 7960 I have not your patience! <CHARNAME>, do you accept this duty or do you claim it is not your concern? Speak! And be warned that your life is in the balance! |
| 7961 Very well, it seems I have little choice. |
| 7962 No, I do not believe your threats. |
| 7963 Nature is better off without your pathetic whining! Here you shall die! |
| 7964 If that is your choice, so be it. I will remain here until I can accomplish this task on my own. Perhaps if you change your mind... well, we shall see. |
| 7965 Such insolence! How dare you let your duty to nature fall flat! I should... |
| 7966 Now, child, it is our duty. If they do not follow, then that is their choice. I request that you stay with them as guide even if they do not follow our tenets. |
| 7967 You return as the dusk, though I hope you choose not to bring darkness to this meeting. Have you decided to aid in the cleansing of this druid grove and end the suffering of Trademeet? |
| 7968 I will do what I can, though I do not wish you in my group. |
| 7969 I will help. Join with me and point the way. |
| 7970 No, I will not. |
| 7971 Then nothing has changed. Leave me. |
| 7972 Your investigations have been fruitful? Let us examine them for possible solutions to this regrettable situation. Speak what you have learned of the local druids. How are they tainted? |
| 7973 I do not have anything to tell you yet. |
| 7974 I do not have anything to tell you. You should join me so we can look together. |
| 7975 Boots of Etherealness |
| 7976 Boots of Lightning Speed |
| 7977 Nay, Father. It is time for this foolishness to end. |
| 7978 Only that killing Saerk in vengeance would be murder as surely as my sister's death was. |
| 7979 Not in the manner that you suggest. We must take these charges to the magistrate. This is the only way to end this circle of violence that you have trapped us within. |
| 7980 Bylanna Ianulin is a good and noble woman. You said this yourself before you slipped into the foul clutch of the drink. |
| 7981 I will not allow him to go free! He shall be taken before the courts if he is indeed the one who murdered my sister. |

| 7993 Being a servant of nature, you will recognize the danger. The balance of this area is in disarray, and once it falls, there will be hardship for all. |
| 7994 Meet with Tolgerias the Cowled Wizard A man by the name of Madeen has told me of a Cowled Wizard who wishes to hire someone to perform a service for him. The wizard's name is Tolgerias, and he can be found in the main government building in the Government District. |
| 7995 The hunt for Valygar Corthala I have agreed to find a man named Valygar Corthala, a murderer who has killed two Cowled Wizards, and bring him dead or alive to Tolgerias in the government building in the Government District. According to the wizard, Valygar holds a great hatred of magic... and since wizards are distrusted in the city in general, he feels I will have a far better chance than most in tracking down the man. According to the wizard, Valygar comes from a noble family and may be hiding in the city or outside. One clue, at least, is that he has a house in the Docks District... perhaps a place to start looking. |
| 7996 Yes, I see you have a druid with you. Jaheira, is it? She will also be concerned, for she will know the danger of balance lost. |
| 7997 You have the ranger Minsc in your group. Likely he will also understand the danger of balance being lost, even though I have heard he has lost his own. |
| 7998 Then please continue your search. If attacks such as these are allowed to continue, it threatens the balance of the whole region. |
| 7999 That would be best. I know many of the druids that once frequented this area. Perhaps they will be sympathetic. Come, we must hurry to the grove. |
| 8000 Do you know of them? They have forsaken balance in favor of militant action. They believe they follow the Earthmother, but blood is not fitting tribute. |
| 8001 Aye, now I see. Such has always been the case in this household. This is about you and only you. Your daughter's death means nothing beyond how it affects your pride and your comfort. |
| 8002 I will not, Father. I suggest no evil. I suggest the lawful path. |
| 8003 I have obeyed you all my life and received naught but bitterness in return. My friend and I shall take this matter to the magistrate, as the law requires. |
| 8004 Don't do this, Father... |
| 8005 I have been cowering at your feet for all my life. Goodbye, Father. Perhaps I shall see you again before you drink yourself to death. |
| 8006 Come, <CHARNAME>, let us leave... we should go and see the magistrate in the Council of Six building and see if anything can be done, despite Father's venom. |
| 8007 You have seen the lifeless ashes of your sister, Anomen. Let not this terrible act go unpunished! Gird thy heart with righteous anger and slay thy sister's murderer! |
| 8008 What do you mean to say, Anomen? |
| 8009 The destruction of evil is never considered to be murder. Do not these knights that you seek to join take such missions themselves? |
| 8010 You fool boy! The magistrate will do nothing. She is a pawn of Saerk! |
| 8011 You dishonor Moira's memory! You would allow the killer of your sister to go free? You are despicable! You are an insect! |
| 8012 How can you doubt such a thing, boy? Saerk is the killer! |
| 8013 The proof lies in the fact that he has taken everything else from me! Killing Moira would complete my defeat. |
| 8014 Boy, you've fallen in with evil! Step back from the line and honor your family before it's too late. |
| 8015 Again I say, obey me, Anomen! |
| 8016 If you step out that door, then you must never come within again. |
| 8017 Shut your mouth! If you leave now, you are forever banished from this place. You will be cast from this family and become a nameless dog, not fit to cower at my feet. |
| 8018 You are nothing, boy! Nothing! |
| 8019 A woman named Faldorn has taken over. She is a Shadow Druid at heart. |
| 8020 Patricia |
| 8021 I spoke with Faldorn, a Shadow Druid. She awaits challenge from another druid. |
| 8022 I spoke to the Shadow Druid Faldorn. She challenged me, because only a druid can remove power from her. |
| 8023 I spoke with the Shadow Druid Faldorn. I think she made sense. I may side with her. |
| 8024 Faldorn smells of honey, but she will undoubtedly crush any foolish enough to taste of it. Forgive my repetition, but we must get back to the business at hand. |
| 8025 Squire Anomen, a word if you please. |
| 8027 Get out of my house, dogs! You have corrupted my son. I would spit in your face, but you aren't worth the effort. |
| 8028 You have seen the grave of your sister, Anomen. Let this terrible act not go unpunished! Gird thy heart with righteous anger and slay thy sister's murderer! |
| 8029 The dog huddles in his mansion in the Bridge District, plotting further indignities for me. It is a huge house in the center, ill-gotten by the bastard, no doubt. |
| 8030 Return to me when you have accomplished your task. Your friends may keep what treasure they find within Saerk's house, and I shall honor their names forevermore. |
| 8031 So shall it be done, Father. Saerk will die for his deeds. Where might we find him? |
| 8032 We go then. |
| 8033 Have you done what you must do? Is Saerk dead? |
| 8034 Excellent, my son. Return to me when you have accomplished your task. Your friends may keep what treasure they find within Saerk's house, and I shall honor their names forevermore. |
| 8035 His defenses are many, but he shall soon fall. |
| 8036 Have you done what you must do? Is Saerk dead? |
| 8037 Oh, my son, my son! You have grown strong in your absence! Perhaps this knighthood you seek is the true path after all. I am proud. You have restored our honor and our fortune. |
| 8038 You did very well indeed, boy. Will you return to stay with me now? |
| 8039 I must get going, son. My old employees must be found and reinstated. I shall send for you when things have been set aright, Anomen. Goodbye, son. |
| 8040 It... it is done, Father. The murderer is dead, and I pray that Moira's spirit rests easy because of it. |
| 8041 Thank you, Father. |
| 8042 I should like to, but my duties call me. I must return to the road. |
| 8043 Goodbye, Father. |
| 8044 Periapt of Proof Against Poison |
| 8045 I spoke with the Shadow Druid Faldorn. I think she made sense. I may side with her. |
| 8046 Cor Delryn is not in at present. He is away in Calimshan on business. He would like the estate to be left alone while he's gone. |
| 8047 I am Sir Ryan Trawl, a paladin of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. In Torm's name, I greet thee. |
| 8048 Indeed it has. In the name of the prelate, the council requests your return to the High Hall. |
| 8049 So shall it be. In Torm's name I bless thee, Anomen. |
| 8050 I shall see you at the High Hall, Anomen. Good luck! |
| 8051 How may I be of assistance? |
| 8052 I greet thee also. The time has come? |
| 8053 I shall return and stand in Helm's light to be judged for my deeds and strength of arms. |
| 8054 And also thee. |
| 8055 My thanks, Sir Trawl. I look forward to our next meeting. |
| 8056 It is not in my nature to complain, but as you know, I must make my way to the High Hall in Athkatla to be judged for knighthood. I was to have been there by now. Shall we go, or will I be forced to leave the party? |
| 8057 What are you talking about? |
| 8059 Perhaps it is best if you leave. I have no time to take you to Athkatla. |
| 8060 Cloak of the Sewers |
| 8061 Cloak of Elvenkind |
| 8062 Invisible Stalker (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 6 Range: 120 ft. Duration: 9 hours Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell summons an invisible stalker from the Elemental Plane of Air. This 8-Hit-Dice monster obeys and serves the caster in performing whatever tasks are set before it, even if this means being sent to certain death. The creature remains under the caster's control for 9 hours or until it is killedâ€â€at which point it will return to its native plane, only slightly annoyed at having to serve a mortal. |
| 8063 Cloak of the Stars |
| 8064 Globe of Invulnerability (Abjuration) Level: 6 Range: 0 Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 5-ft. radius sphere Saving Throw: None This spell creates an immobile, faintly shimmering magical sphere around the caster that prevents any 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-, or 4th-level spell effects from penetrating (i.e., the area of effect of any such spells does not include the area of the Globe of Invulnerability). This includes innate abilities and effects from devices. However, any type of spell can be cast out of the magical sphere, and these pass from the caster of the globe to their subject without affecting the globe. 5th- and higher level spells are not affected by the globe, and magical attacks of 5th-level or higher, such as Spellstrike and Pierce Magic, can bring it down. |
| 8065 Flesh to Stone (Alteration) Level: 6 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. This spell turns flesh of any sort to stone. All possessions on the person of the creature likewise turn to stone. The intended subject of the spell receives a Saving Throw vs. Spell to avoid the effect. If a statue created by this spell is subjected to attacks of any sort, it will shatter into tiny pieces, making it impossible for the creature to be returned to flesh. The reverse of this spell may be cast upon the victim in order to restore life, but this is the only way. |
| 8066 Ring of Djinni Summoning |
| 8067 There is no need for you to leave. We shall travel there posthaste. |
| 8068 I refer to, of course, my possible acceptance into the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart as a knight. We must travel there soon, else I shall be judged unworthy by default. |
| 8069 This must be stopped before forces from Trademeet seek revenge. The toll on the wood and the people alike will be horrendous. |
| 8070 We shall travel to the High Hall now. |
| 8071 Perhaps it is best if you leave. I have no time to take you to the Radiant Heart's headquarters. |
| 8072 Find Familiar |
| 8073 Such dark rituals are frowned upon, but Shadow Druids stop at nothing. We have but one option: She can be challenged, but only a druid can do it. |
| 8074 I could challenge her. It would only be right for me to do so. |
| 8075 You could challenge her. That appears to be why you have come here. |
| 8076 Jaheira could challenge her. She is a very determined servant of nature. |
| 8077 She will likely take your challenge, though it will be dangerous. You will not have the benefit of your fellow party members. Do you wish me to accompany you? |
| 8078 No, I will do this myself. |
| 8079 Yes, join my group and we shall go right now. |
| 8080 It is indeed. I must restore balance before the local settlers grow to hate nature. Should we present as a group, or should I go alone? |
| 8081 I would be honored to come with you. Join my group and we shall leave immediately. |
| 8082 I do not have room for you in my group. I will make the challenge myself in your stead. |
| 8083 Yes, I think she would be honored, as any druid should be. Go to Faldorn to challenge. All will become clear after that. Do you wish me to come as well? |
| 8084 Yes, join my group and we will leave right now. |
| 8085 No, we will do this on our own. |
| 8086 Very well. I await here in the dark for the dawn to rise. Go quickly. |
| 8087 Excellent. We are all the stronger having joined. Let's go quickly, before she rallies any more wayward druids to her cause. |
| 8088 Ring of Danger Sense |
| 8089 I do not have room for you in my group. Jaheira can make the challenge in your stead though. |
| 8090 No, you were wise to seek council when tempted. You would not have lived to see the dawn. Forgive my repetition, but we must get back to the business at hand. |
| 8091 Ring of Lock Picks |
| 8092 Ring of Air Control |
| 8093 No, I have no room for you at this time. I will just observe. |
| 8094 Then we will go there presently and you may watch my victory or defeat. For all concerned, I hope I am the champion nature deserves. |
| 8095 Ring of Earth Control |
| 8096 Ring of Fire Control |
| 8097 Is that how you repay the assistance that I have offered you? You've nary a loyal bone in your body, <CHARNAME>. So be it. I shall travel to the High Hall on my own. |
| 8098 It will no more do that than pigs will fly south come winter. This matter is urgent, and I will not wait forever. |
| 8099 Excellent. Let us waste no more time with idle chatter. |
| 8100 I need not put up with this nonsense. I shall set out on my own for the High Hall since you seem intent on keeping me from my commitments! You have caused me to be late in arriving at my own Judgment. |
| 8101 Sir Ryan Trawl! I have arrived and am prepared to be Judged. |
| 8102 How much longer will you wait? I don't want you leaving in the middle of a battle. |
| 8103 I will go when I am ready to do so. This will wait for my attention. |
| 8104 I'm not quite sure what you just said, but I'm sure you are right. We will go soon. |
| 8105 I thank you. Once this matter is resolved, I will be more than happy to assist you in your endeavors. |
| 8106 I feared Shadow Druids were to take this land and was sent from the north to investigate, but now I hear I am no longer needed? |
| 8107 That is true. We saw the trouble brewing in this place and decided to take action. |
| 8108 It seems you were not needed at all. Go on your way. This place is in capable hands. |
| 8109 You have heard correctly. You are free to go if you have no other business here. |

| 8114 You look to be a wandering sort; would you consent to my joining with you? I can best keep watch o'er the land if I am traveling through it. |
| 8115 Certainly, I would be glad to have you. Come, we must be off. |
| 8116 No, thank you, but I have no need of you at the moment. Perhaps another time? |
| 8117 All right, but do try to keep quiet. I need another back, not another voice. |
| 8118 I have no need or desire to have you around. You are of no use to me. |
| 8119 Well, no need to be rude about it. I shall take my leave and go to the grove where I may be of some use. If you have a change of heart, you may find me there. |
| 8120 Excellent, Squire Anomen. The prelate waits within. May Torm be with you on this day. |

| 8122 Perhaps. I shall make my way to the grove in the meantime and help in the reorganization. I will be there if I am needed. |
| 8123 Well then, where should I go? I could go to the grove, but Verthan was likely installed as a temporary leader, and he is more than capable. |
| 8124 And also with you. |
| 8125 Step inside the hall. I shall speak with you when you are finished. Your party may accompany you if you wish. |
| 8126 Meet with Tolgerias the Cowled Wizard Tolgerias, the Cowled Wizard in the government building, has promised to find out some information on Imoen if I perform the service that he is asking of me. |
| 8127 The hunt for Valygar Corthala It appears that Tolgerias, a Cowled Wizard, has taken my promise to perform an unnamed service for him seriously. He had asked me to track down a man by the name of Valygar Corthala and bring him back dead or alive. I refused... and may face retaliation from the Cowled Wizards as a result. |
| 8128 The hunt for Valygar Corthala Tolgerias has stormed off, accusing me of betraying him and the Cowled Wizards... something I may come to regret if they decide to retaliate against me for it. |
| 8129 The hunt for Valygar Corthala Although I am unsure why, a group of Cowled Wizards led by a mage named Tolgerias attacked me after I had found a tax scroll in the home of a man named Valygar Corthala. It seems they are looking for the man... and are willing to destroy anyone who finds out too much about what they are after. |
| 8130 A new season comes, and growth is renewed. I am grateful for your indulgence. |
| 8131 Hmm, I wonder if I will enjoy your company. Still, even vicious animals have a place in the order of things. I will give you your due if you give me mine. |
| 8132 Staff of Thunder and Lightning +2 |
| 8133 As slowly as the seasons crawl, slower still is our progress! I must go to the druid grove, and I must do it soon. If you will not guide the group in that direction, then I will have to go on my own. |
| 8134 I would, my friend, but this IS my home and it is YOU who intrude. Well, it was my home, but the winds of nature did take my sails and I had to follow the... |
| 8135 Typical Guard |
| 8137 I do wish it. <CHARNAME>, follow me and observe the Judgment. |
| 8138 Staff of Curing |
| 8139 Anomen Delryn, son of Cor and Moirala, do you stand before me pledged to the service of justice? Do you stand before me pledged to the service of righteousness? |
| 8141 Prelate of the Order, I so stand. I pledge my life to the service of justice and righteousness. |
| 8142 Anomen Delryn, do you stand before me seeking a knighthood of the Order? |
| 8143 I do so stand. |
| 8144 Do you stand before me prepared to accept the Judgment of Torm? Are your actions and those you travel with laid bare? Shall I judge you as I have been judged? |
| 8145 My past and my actions I lay bare before you. I ask that you judge me as you have been judged. |
| 8146 May the spirit of Torm enter this chamber! May my Judgment be unclouded. Welcome to this place, Anomen. Is there aught that you would say before we begin? |
| 8147 Thank you, Prelate. I would say that all of my life I have dreamed of this day, and becoming a knight is the culmination of those dreams. Judge me as you have been judged. |
| 8148 So shall it be. The Judgment is clear. Anomen Delryn, you have proven yourself worthy. I dub thee Sir Anomen. Knight of the Order, arise and give your oath. |
| 8149 I question the throwing away of the apple while it is still green, but this is your group to lead. I will remind you that our mission at the druid grove is far from complete. I will await you near the grove. Do not be long. |
| 8150 Under witness of all gathered, I swear to uphold the honor of the Order for as long as I shall live. I pledge my dying breath to the service of good. In Helm's name, I thank thee, Prelate. I swear that I shall never falter 'neath the banner of Helm. |
| 8151 Go then, Sir Anomen, and serve the cause. You shall serve beneath the paladin Ryan Trawl, a righteous man. May Torm bless thee. |
| 8152 If that is what you wish, though I have enjoyed the interesting travels we have made. If you wish to meet with me again, I will be at the druid grove. |
| 8153 And also thee. <CHARNAME>, I must speak with Sir Ryan Trawl now. |

| 8161 It will be a while before all is well, but for now things are stable. I might even be able to leave... if you had need of an extra hand once more. |
| 8162 I do. Join the group and let's go. |
| 8163 Not yet, but perhaps later. |
| 8164 Off to travel the world once more, I do so like seeing so much of nature, even what is constrained within the cities. |
| 8165 An ancient adage this is, yet fitting: If you've nothing pleasant to say, Anomen, say nothing at all. |
| 8166 The judgment is clear. You occasionally choose the righteous path, but have not satisfied our requirements. You are cast from this Order. |
| 8167 Helm of Brilliance |

| 8172 A man called Garren lost a child to kidnappers. You and your party did nothing to save this child. This is an unforgivable sin. Leave now and never return. |
| 8173 Anomen, do not be a fool. You and your party may as well be brigands with your reputation. You are not worthy of trust or knighthood. You may leave. |

| 8176 You bastard! I have slaved away for you all of these years and this is the thanks that I get? I spit at your feet, you fool! |
| 8177 As I shall! You are the one who is unworthy. Come, <CHARNAME>. It is time to exit this viper pit. I've no taste for these petty politics any longer! Dogs, one and all! |
| 8178 Do as the prelate suggests, Anomen. You have worn out your welcome and must no longer taint this place with your presence. |

| 8185 How might you command more respect, Anomen? |
| 8186 In time, I shall surely command more respect with these fools. 'Tis hardly much of a party that you have put together. |
| 8187 I'm not in the mood for your complaining. Silence yourself and fall back into line. |
| 8188 If one cannot take criticism, then one has no right to travel these roads. I've put up with criticism all of my life. Once I become a knight, I shall put up with no more. |
| 8189 Becoming a knight seems quite important to you. |
| 8190 Are you calling me weak-willed? |
| 8191 Look, it matters not. I've no patience for your complaining today. Silence yourself and fall back into line. |
| 8192 With my knighthood, I shall be above the petty concerns of a field officer for the Order. That is where I shall command more respect. |
| 8193 Becoming a knight seems quite important to you. |
| 8194 I'm not in the mood for your complaining. Silence yourself and fall back into line. |
| 8195 I pity your father, Gorion, that he would have to put up with such foul moods. I shall leave you to fester. |

| 8200 In short, I've bettered myself in every way so that I might someday be Judged worthy of knighthood. |
| 8201 As you will. I will remain here for now. Such beauty... |
| 8202 Why are you not happy with your current position? You command respect as a warrior-cleric, do you not? |
| 8203 Shapechange abilities have been added to your Special Abilities menu. |
| 8204 What made you want to become a knight? |
| 8205 Guards approach. Obviously, word of your misdeeds have reached the authorities. |
| 8206 This is all very interesting, but I hardly think that I have time to hear it. Perhaps on another day. |
| 8207 You asked. I pity your father, Gorion, that he would have to put up with such foul moods. I shall leave you to fester. |
| 8208 A knight, however, has something of the stature that a paladin enjoys. |
| 8209 What made you want to become a knight? |
| 8210 This all seems rather petty. I do not wish to hear anymore of this. |
| 8211 I've always dreamed of being a knight from the first time I saw an armored column from my mother's arm. Someday, I will thunder by beneath the Radiant Heart pennant. |
| 8212 Nahal's Reckless Dweomer (Invocation/Evocation) Level: 1 Range: Special Duration: Special Casting Time: Special Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: Special This spell is the Wild Mage's ultimate last-resort spell. When cast, the Mage releases a sudden flood of wild magical energy in the hope of seizing and shaping that energy into a desired spell effect. The attempt usually fails, but something almost always occurs in the process. To use Nahal's Reckless Dweomer simply cast it, then choose from your list of known spells. A burst of magical energy is released, which the Wild Mage will try to manipulate into the desired form. The actual effect of the spell is determined randomly by a dice roll on the Wild Surge Table (see the manual for more details). Because the release of energy is planned by the Mage, <PRO_HISHER> level is added to the dice roll. If the result indicates success, the Mage has shaped the magical energy into the desired effect. More often than not, the effect is completely unexpected. The result might be beneficial to the Mage, or it might be completely disastrous: This is the risk the Mage takes in casting Nahal's Reckless Dweomer. |
| 8213 Risa |
| 8214 A fine speech, but not practical. The Shadow Druid enclave I have begun offers solutions, and will purge enemies of nature. You look defiant, but you can do nothing. |
| 8215 Risa |
| 8216 But time has passed quickly. We've adventuring to do, and I suggest that we get back to it. |
| 8217 Ugh. These pathetic skirmishes of ours aren't worth the time I spend cleaning my weapons after the battle. Ah, the Order's campaign against the Hillgnasher giantsâ€â€now that brought the blood up! |

| 8221 You served in campaigns against the giants? |
| 8222 I don't care. Keep quiet and fall back into line. |
| 8223 You are very arrogant, Anomen. |
| 8224 Aye, and a bloody campaign it was. I slew twenty of the beasts during that scorching summer. |
| 8225 Very impressive. I can see how you might find these incidental skirmishes a bit easy. |
| 8226 Twenty giants, Anomen? I find that hard to believe. You are very arrogant. |
| 8227 My amazing brain told me you would return! I trust you are taking fine care of Aerie? Yes, the sparkle in her eye has returned. It is best she leave this place behind her. |
| 8228 Your skills in conversation are matched only by your inability to be friendly. So be it. I shall speak of this another time. |
| 8229 Shar! My deliverance is in your hands. ...Wait! I recognize you! <PRO_CHARNAME>! It is I! Viconia DeVir! You must remember! My life depends on it! |
| 8230 Praise the goddess! My thanks for your timely intervention! |
| 8231 Arrogant or extremely competent. Believe what you wish; my tale is true. |
| 8232 This is true. Still, I should not complain. These incidental battles are a part of life and are over so quickly that they cause only a little inconvenience. |
| 8233 It would be both a privilege and an honor to join you, <CHARNAME>. What say you to my proposal? |
| 8234 Certainly. I trust you'll be a worthy addition to our cause. |
| 8235 Not at the moment, Viconia. Perhaps later. |
| 8236 Most of this city is brimming with artless rabble who'd murder a drow as soon as draw breath... or worse. Look for me amongst the dead. |
| 8237 When we sleep in the field, there is always the chance that we will be beset by foes, yes? Hm, I cannot help but be reminded of my father at these times. |
| 8238 Khaless ussa, intrepid one, a spirited campaign and the pitiless slaughter of our foes await! Shar tlu malla! |
| 8239 Vendui'! Have you changed your mind? I would like the opportunity to expend my debt to you... and I am sure you will find a use for my mighty order of magics. |
| 8240 How so? |
| 8241 I care not for your childhood memories, Anomen. |
| 8242 Loud noises at night have a startling effect on me to this day. Perhaps this is a good thing, seeing as no creature can sneak up on a light sleeper. |
| 8243 No, I haven't changed my mind. |
| 8244 Blacktalon Mercenary |
| 8246 Yes, I have, Viconia. Welcome. |
| 8247 A judicious decision, wayfarers. Together we shall conquer your enemies without hesitation or mercy! |
| 8248 Your decision reeks of ill-considered bias. When your reckoning returns, I suggest you do as well. |

| 8345 I don't... agree... with what you're doing. If you don't change things soon, well then... I'll just have to... to leave! |
| 8346 If not, then I shall do my best to make your death as painless as possible. Come, let us finish this unhappy task and be done with it. |
| 8348 Obviously you have not gotten enough sleep. I shall leave you be. |
| 8349 But it matters not. I am no longer under his thumb. I've no reason to return to my father's house. Let us get back to sleep. |
| 8350 I'm leaving! I can't believe you are so horrible! I'd have been better off at the circus! |
| 8351 Helm's beard! I cannot believe this! All my life... all my LIFE, I've slaved for the Order, and now I am cast aside like garbage! Curse them all! |
| 8352 You... you want me to lead? I... I'll try my best... |
| 8353 Ahhh, my legs are just aching... I've never walked so much in my life! Can... can we rest now, please? |
| 8354 Now surely you must understand that I cannot let you pass without an answer to my questions. What is your business here? |
| 8355 Calm yourself, Anomen. It is not such a bad thing. |
| 8357 Who cares? Life is difficult. Accept it and let us move on. |
| 8358 I didn't realize there'd be so much standing around... |
| 8359 Acting as you do now merely proves that you were never worthy to become a knight anyway. The prelate was right to refuse you. |
| 8360 I... I don't like the looks of this! |

| 8367 Acting as you do now merely proves that you were never worthy to become a knight anyway. The prelate was right to refuse you. |
| 8368 It would seem that the prelate's decision is irreversible. There is nothing that we can do but move on and return to the road. |
| 8369 My church dictates that I search these depths. If you do the same, tell me what you know. |
| 8370 Who cares? Life is difficult. Accept it and let us move on. |
| 8371 Shut your foolish mouth! Everything I've worked for is gone! All that I want is denied me! I cannot simply accept this. |
| 8372 Like yourself, I have been sent to search this place for clues. Found anything? |
| 8373 It would seem that the prelate's decision is irreversible. There is nothing that we can do but move on and return to the road. |
| 8374 Acting as you do now merely proves that you were never worthy to become a knight anyway. The prelate was right to refuse you. |
| 8375 Calm yourself, Anomen. It is not such a bad thing. |
| 8376 You bastard! This is your fault! You led us down the evil path, and for that I have been refused. I will kill you! |
| 8377 I don't jump for paladins, so move aside. We'll not disturb your precious quest. |
| 8378 Perhaps. Or perhaps I should slaughter the whole lot of them. |
| 8379 The creature vanishes as if it were not even there. |
| 8380 Get ahold of yourself, Anomen. Let's get away from here before you get yourself killed. |
| 8381 Aye, I would appreciate the company, especially against an unknown foe. Come, let us find an exit from these pits that do not open skyward. |
| 8382 That's an excellent idea. Go to it, and I shall wait here until you're finished. |
| 8383 Do whatever you want to. I no longer care, for you are hereby kicked out of this party. |

| 8396 I thank you, Paladin Ryan Trawl. I am pleased to serve you with strength of arms and a faith in Torm. |
| 8397 Now surely you must understand that I cannot let you pass without an answer to my questions. What is your business here? |
| 8398 Normally, you would accompany me as my man at arms, but while you continue on a righteous path, you may escort <CHARNAME>. Go well, Sir Anomen, and Torm bless thee. |
| 8399 I thank you. May Torm also bless thee. |
| 8400 It is truly a grand day, my friend. |
| 8401 You seem very pleased with yourself, Anomen. I see that knighthood agrees with you. |
| 8402 It is never a grand day, Anomen. |
| 8403 This is not a good time to have a conversation, Anomen. |
| 8404 My church dictates that I search these depths. If you do the same, tell me what you know. |
| 8405 I don't jump for paladins, so move aside. We'll not disturb your precious quest. |
| 8406 I have similar objectives to your own. What you have found out about this place? |
| 8407 It does. I am well content. When one's dreams have come true, one cannot help but rejoice. So, as I said, it is truly a grand day. |
| 8408 For some it is. Perhaps you should seek the enlightened path. With perseverance, you can find contentment. Think on it. For now, let us continue our travels. |
| 8409 When that presence has been felled, search for me at the Order of the Radiant Heart and perhaps we can benefit more fully from each other's company. Until then, walk in faith... |
| 8410 It is nothing important regardless, <CHARNAME>. It is simply good to be a knight after all this. Let us continue on. |

| 8460 This is the holy font of the druid grove. Its waters are said the hold a magic that keeps the grove and its spirit alive and healthy. If something should happen to the waters, the grove and the druids would suffer. |
| 8461 Should you wish to do so, you could poison the grove in an attempt to weaken Faldorn. You would need an appropriate poison. |
| 8462 Young Anomen, it seems to me that you have been too long away from the fold. Perhaps this is a good time to continue your lessons. |
| 8463 As Lord Khellon has suggested, you empty the sulfurous poison into the pool. The change happens within seconds, and a putrid, unhealthy odor arises from the once pure waters. |
| 8464 I assure you, noble Keldorn, that I am well versed in the statutes and moral laws of the Order. |
| 8465 There is no further damage that you can do to the pool that would be greater than that which you have already wrought. The grove is dying. |

| 8471 I doubt it not. However, perhaps it is time to rememorize the virtues of chivalry and honesty. |
| 8472 I know what you're about, Keldorn. Let me worry about training, and you may worry about your own affairs. |
| 8473 I am not "about" anything. I've no ulterior motive outside the betterment of a squire. Best you listen to the wisdom of those who have gone before you. |
| 8474 I shall take, Sir Keldorn, what path I deem appropriate. I have not bothered you, so it seems rude that you find the time to bother me. |

| 8476 Very well. I see that you are not prepared to learn. |

| 8482 Delryn Family Shield |
| 8483 Delryn Family Shield |
| 8484 Squire Anomen, it is time that I had a word with you. I must say that you do not always act in a manner befitting a squire of the Order. You must learn to show deference to your leaders and elders. |
| 8486 This is Anomen's family shield, given to him by his father. In addition to magical protection, the shield radiates an aura that grants the wielder fire and cold resistance. To protect against ranged attacks, Anomen can use the shield to erect a field of energy. This protection from normal missiles can be used three times per day. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 – Fire Resistance: +30% – Cold Resistance: +30% Charge abilities: – Protection From Normal Missiles three times per day Duration: 1 hour Area of Effect: The wearer Weight: 7 |
| 8487 Firecam Full-Plate Armor |
| 8488 Firecam Full-Plate Armor |
| 8489 Full plate armor is the best armor a warrior can buy, both in appearance and protection. This armor increases the wearer's Armor Class by one above that of normal full plate. While equipped, the suit provides the wearer with a +1 bonus to all Saving Throws and grants the wearer Free Action (the ability to pass through webs and other effects). This suit was designed for Keldorn, and only he may wear it. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 0 Weight: 70 |
| 8490 Sir Keldorn, I thought that I made it clear the last time you brought this up: I have no need of further lessons, especially from you! I near my knighthood now. |
| 8491 Hallowed Redeemer |
| 8492 Hallowed Redeemer +2 |
| 8493 Keldorn distinguished himself early in his career as a paladin and received this blade as a boon from Torm. It is exceptionally accurate, but also protects him in battle with a special Fireshield, and any that strike him while he wields it suffer Torm's wrath in the form of magical damage. None but Keldorn may use this sword. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – 5 points of magic damage to any who damage the wielder THAC0: +2 Damage: 1d10+2 (slashing) Speed Factor: 8 Proficiency Type: Two-handed Sword Type: Two-handed Requires: 5 Strength 12 Intelligence Weight: 8 |
| 8494 You are brave and strong. Do not fool yourself into believing that your time of learning is through. All of life is a school of sorts. |
| 8495 If that is so, then there is no reason that you need to be my teacher. Life will take care of it for you. |
| 8496 In this, you are correct; I need not be your teacher. Learn the lesson where you will, but learn it. If you do not, the future will be unlike how you envision it. |
| 8497 I am here to learn more of your Order, Keldorn, if you would be so kind. |
| 8498 Your fate has arrived, Sir Anomen. You are a squire no longer, but have now become a knight. Well done, young man. |
| 8499 My thanks, Sir Keldorn. You're a fine example of honor and chivalry, and all in the Order look up to you. I feel that I must apologize for being rude to you beforeâ€â€the brashness of youth, as you have said. |
| 8500 That is all right. I shall find my own way about, thank you. |
| 8501 Worry not, young knight. You are well along the journey of the righteous path now. Torm has forgiven all. |
| 8502 I have come to petition for your service. I have need of an experienced knight to assist me in my journeys. |
| 8503 Staff of the High Forest |
| 8504 Staff of the High Forest +2 |
| 8505 This staff was the culmination of a cycle of seasons in which Cernd meditated on his role within nature. His perch for this personal journey was next to a sapling, a young oak that was a particular interest of study; it seemed odd, and yet somehow wonderfully ordered. At the coming of spring, Cernd examined it one last time, and it came loose in his hands, a living staff, granted as a boon from nature herself. It has grown to fit his grip, and few others may wield it. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Regenerate 1 Hit Point every 2 rounds THAC0: +2 Damage: 1d6+2 (crushing) Speed Factor: 2 Proficiency Type: Quarterstaff Type: Two-handed Weight: 3 |
| 8506 Cloak of the High Forest |
| 8507 Cloak of the High Forest +1 |
| 8508 When younger, Cernd spent a cycle of seasons meditating on his role within nature. He made no shelter, wanting to feel the land unhindered. Nature may have appreciated the intent, for she also knows that for all their dedication, at times her children can be foolish. Cernd found this cloak before the cold season set in, seemingly woven to fit him from the very undergrowth. The message was clear: He can appreciate the rain while still seeking shelter from it. Only Cernd may use this cloak. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +1 – Saving Throws: +1 Weight: 3 |
| 8509 This is the poison given to you by Lord Khellon. He suggests that you find the holy font of the druid grove and pour the poison into it so that the druids will be weakened and easy to kill. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 8510 Do not let your removal from the Order color your choices, Anomen. There is a lesson to be learned from this. |

| 8512 Potion of Squirrel Change |
| 8513 Due to the nature of our calling, so few paladins live to see their fortieth year... but the Radiant Heart accepts nothing less, <GABBER>. |
| 8514 You've never known a day of hardship in your life, and yet you think that you know all! To the Hells with you, Keldorn! |
| 8515 Already it begins. Anomen, I am on your side. I wish to be your friend and help you to turn your life around. Do not refuse aid in your hour of need. |
| 8516 So, Nalia, saved any poor from their impoverished status lately? Your concerns for those in destitute poverty, something you would have little insight into, is rather... charming. |
| 8517 Viconia, it's simply a matter of even distribution of goods. There are those whose consumption is a crime against nature, and that injustice should be corrected whenever possible. |
| 8518 There is nothing wrong with my life that hasn't been caused by your ilk! I should kill you for treating me like a child. |
| 8519 My kinship with the disenfranchised is my own affair, Viconia. To deny the need to help our fellows is cruel arrogance. And I am simply not that type of person. |
| 8520 In time, you will see, boy, that you act like a child. |
| 8521 Your egalitarian streak is an affront to determinism. The poor remain poor because they are lacking in the self-will and determination to seek higher stations. |
| 8522 Your words hold no meaning to me. Save them, ere I take mind to shove them back down your throat. |
| 8523 Mazzy, I know little of you. I've the tiniest inkling we've met, or perhaps it was another of your diminutive people. You all look the same to me, I'm afraid. |
| 8524 Well, I could use some of that wisdom right now, Keldorn. Have you the freedom to travel with me for a while? |
| 8526 Anomen, please remain calm; what I say I say for your benefit. You are turning away from your god, Helm, and slipping down the path of evil. I cannot let you do this. Put aside your bitterness, Anomen, and talk to me. |
| 8527 So the Radiant Heart is sort of a retirement home for paladins who have passed their prime, is that it? |
| 8528 Thank you, Keldorn. It has been enlightening. |
| 8529 Come, I have no baggage beyond what I carry with me now. |
| 8530 Viconia, I'm not about to stoop to dignify your sordid taunts. |
| 8531 Yoshimo, I must admit something to you, and don't think me too brusque, but there's something in your easy banter and casual manner that I find fraudulent. |
| 8532 Viconia, by this light, your eyes are a gorgeous shade of alizarin crimson, deep, mysterious and inviting. Has anyone ever told you that? |
| 8533 I see. There are matters so solemn that only levity cures their sting. |
| 8534 Wisdom does not fade with age, my friend. If anything, it grows stronger. Now excuse me, but I have some other tasks to perform. |
| 8535 Oh, you are pathetic, Keldorn. You are a hypocrite and a liar! You care nothing for me, only for your honor. Why should I believe anything you say? I'd spit in your face, but you aren't worth even that! |
| 8536 Familiar has died; Hit Points lost. |
| 8537 A familiar has already been summoned. |
| 8538 Only the protagonist may cast Find Familiar. |
| 8539 Anomen, tell me, what drew such a handsome, powerful, and charismatic individual like yourself to the dreary, hectic life of adventuring? |
| 8540 You approach a line that you do not want to cross, Anomen. Step back before it's too late. |
| 8541 I am an instrument of justice, a redeemer of the weak, protector of the righteous and the fallen alike. I do this because I am compelled by forces beyond my ken. You? |
| 8542 Well, Viconia, you don't have to sleep so far away next time. Your hands across these muscles would be more welcome than the brush of canvas, I'd venture. |
| 8543 Well, noble one, it seemed like a good idea at the time. And it seemed to me that all the most muscular and attractive men were doing it, so... |
| 8544 Anomen, snap out of it. She's playing you like a cheap violin. |
| 8545 It is my pleasure, as always. |
| 8546 The line was crossed when your cursed Order dumped me like useless garbage. Stand and fight, maggot! I've been pushed too far! |
| 8547 Don't do this, Anomen. |
| 8548 Ah, 'tis always good to see you. How might I be of service? |
| 8549 Die, you bastard! |
| 8550 I am here to learn more of your Order, Keldorn, if you would be so kind. |
| 8551 That is all right. I shall find my own way about, thank you. |
| 8552 I have come to petition for your service. I have need of an experienced knight to assist me in my journeys. |
| 8553 Uh! |
| 8555 Lady Elgea |
| 8556 (My condition draws fools like flies to honey.) Silence, you idiot! You've a death wish that is larger than your swollen head. |
| 8558 Could you two wait until tonight before you start talking dirty and whispering sweet nothings? |
| 8559 Hey, Anomen... step aside! From where I'm standing, it doesn't look much like Viconia's buying what you're selling. |
| 8560 Keep your comments to yourself, <CHARNAME>. |
| 8562 Are you jealous, <CHARNAME>? Poor child, there is no reason to be. I've no interest in this glory hound, and he's hardly as handsome as you. |
| 8563 And what would you do if I don't move away? Berate me, coward? Tell me a story about Gorion until I fall asleep? |
| 8564 Take that back. Step away, and I'll leave you your limbs and your breath. |
| 8565 Let's just keep it together and let this slide. It's not worth arguing about. |
| 8566 Hah! Typical! You're worse than a bureaucrat. All talk, no action. It's all I've come to expect from you, <CHARNAME>. Filling the air with words and not the song of steel. |
| 8567 Your territorial instinct is commendable, but sorely misguided. A woman's treats are no cause. |
| 8568 Er, yes, well. I'm sure he had his reasons. Often it is best to obey the duties of your calling and serve the greater... |
| 8569 Awright, I be moving, guv. No need to get yer boots out. Hey, you ain't no city guard. Push off, this here is my squat. Get your own. |
| 8570 She! Where is this she? Where has the lady of the house gone? |
| 8571 Leastwise you could tell the truth if'n ye're gonna talk. I knows you ain't the owner. He wouldn't show his face here... abandoned his wife, they say. |
| 8572 Maybe you is him. Yous talk like him. He had a load of reasons too, and I mean a LOAD. Ain't no wonder she hooked up with that bastard when ol' nature boy left. |
| 8573 Please, good sir, I must know where she has gone. |
| 8574 Galia? I just knows she took her little 'un and went looking where she could for help. Get lost, nature boy. No sympathy from me. |
| 8575 Must? Of all the people, it is you that SHOULD know, but now you gotta ask the gutter boy? I say you a sad one. Go ask Fennecia; maybe she pity you too. |
| 8576 Fennecia! She was our serving girl. I was going to ask about her as well. |
| 8577 I bet you were. Well, she's turned nanny now. Ain't but up the steps. Don't think she be sympathetic tho', havin' to take nature boy's place. |
| 8578 You needn't continue to chastise. I have learned my humble position, and I shall walk with due care, as a ground squirrel must scurry amidst the feet of... |
| 8579 Yammer, yammer, yammer. Save it for someone who cares. |
| 8580 Some coins for you regardless. Farewell. |
| 8581 Thanks, guv. I'll send it to me kids. I knows where mine are. |
| 8582 Well, that was unpleasant. I guess I should expect more of the same to come. As the trees are buffeted and snapped in the face of the gale, I shall be as the bamboo and flex. |
| 8583 A good attitude. You will need it if you wish a second chance from these people. |
| 8584 Oh, shut up. |
| 8585 A few less parables perhaps. Don't be so quick to proclaim the moral high ground while here. |
| 8586 Your faith gives you strength, but it is also the indirect cause of this mess. Lay off a bit. |
| 8587 You are right; I am deserving of their scorn. I hope my wife, Galia, is forgiving. I thought we had an understanding. Come, the house is but up the steps. |
| 8588 Galia didn't like my words either, but they helped show we were not compatible. I hope our reunion will be smoother. Come, the nanny is up the steps. |
| 8589 I still feel my greater duty was to nature. There are several kinds of duty, I suppose. I hope Galia still understands... Come, it is just up the steps. |
| 8590 It is who I am, but I shall speak with care. I hope Galia is more forgiving. We left under good terms... or so I thought. Come, the nanny is but up the steps. |
| 8591 Who's about? Guards? Why don'tcha go bother slavers instead of the gutter boys? Ain't nobody here to mind. Hey, you ain't no guard. Get off, this is my squat. |
| 8592 This is no more your home than it is mine. I travel with the former owner, and he never mentioned you. |
| 8593 If you aren't the owner, who is? I doubt they would appreciate you lounging in their home. |
| 8595 Sod off. If you ain't got legal call to this place, then I'll come and go as I please. |
| 8596 I'd say he'd have no business knowin' me. Fennecia says the cadder left his wife to rot and took off. I's just a gutterlad, but I knows duty to family! |
| 8597 My mistress of the Gray Wastes is not deserving of her reputation. There are no hatreds too petty, Keldorn, as to compel forgiveness. And as I'm certain you're well aware, all pains are hidden. |
| 8598 Shows what you know. He ran out on this place, wife and all! Fennecia says he's livin' in the woods now! I's on the street, but I still knows where my family be. |
| 8599 Stay your hostility, paladin. I seek no conflict with you or your order. I've witnessed your sargh and streeaka firsthand. My humblest apologies, suliss. |
| 8600 Come and go... just like the owner. 'Cept he never come back. Some kinda nature freak, loved his animals more than his family, Fennecia says. |
| 8601 Add another slight to the Order and you'll not reckon her secrets in the world of the living. Do you understand me, witch? Not a word in my direction. EVER. |
| 8602 Tree-hugger, I've a question for you: "If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody care?" |
| 8603 You've a nerve, Viconia. Anger and pain is your home, and a woeful, cold place it must be. My brothers celebrate life, renewal, seasons, the parliament of trees, and the splendor of nature's bounty. |
| 8607 Haer'Dalis, I blame you for this damnably hummable song playing again and again in my head, over and over. You are really quite a marvelous tunesmith, not to mention a clever mimic and talented mime. |
| 8608 Viconia, do you truly think that because you are bewitching in appearance and have the throaty voice of the most expensive courtesan in King Wingding's House of Earthly delights... |
| 8609 Men better than you have walked across lava to kiss a dog who's licked my hand, actor. |
| 8610 Valygar, do you realize you have twigs in your hair? Dirt under your fingernails and mud on your boots? You're a filthy mess. Ha! How can I be discreet? Take a bath. |
| 8611 And your point, Viconia? We're all filthy. We're all unwashed and tired and hungry. Shut up and tell someone who cares. |
| 8612 Fennecia? Who is she and where can I find her? I would like to speak with her. |
| 8613 What would this Fennecia know? Maybe the man just had important duties to take care of. |
| 8614 I bet you do. You look to be a real provider. |
| 8615 Fennecia? Should I know that name? What link does she have to this place? |
| 8616 What would this Fennecia know? Who does she claim to be? |
| 8617 It must be crushing to your flimsy spirit that once you soared with eagles on wings crafted by angels and now you're but a sad urchin, covered in dust of an earth you once rode wind above. |
| 8618 Yes, you look like a real family man here in your filth and poverty. |
| 8619 Who is this Fennecia? Can I speak with her? |
| 8620 p/p |
| 8621 rsw |
| 8622 p/poly |
| 8623 breath |
| 8624 spells |
| 8625 This Fennecia certainly claims to know a lot about this place. |
| 8626 You look especially qualified to judge a man's worth to his family. |
| 8627 Stop whining, magpie. Oh, terribly sorry, bird metaphors are forbidden because you can't fly anymore. |
| 8628 Viconia, why are you so cruel? There's absolutely no reason to be so foul and petty, no reason at all! |
| 8629 After a desperate battle, Bodhi has retreated to her coffin. It is time to end this. If you have a stake, you can destroy her and free Imoen's soul. |
| 8630 It is finally finished. Bodhi will torment you no longer. She shall pay in the Abyss for the evils that she has inflicted upon the world. |

| 8648 Nae speak that vile tongue to me, blackskin. If it moves, I've killed it, but if it be drow, I've tortured it fer days first. |
| 8649 Dark alleyways whisper rumors of the prowess of the Thayvian men, Edwin. Would this kind of vulgar tongue-wagging be claptrap or truth? |
| 8650 This Thayvian male is as red-blooded as his cloak, Viconia. And has left many a concubine gasping under his erotic onslaught. |
| 8651 You're quite the entertainer, Jansen. 'Tis a shame you're so short, since your bent, sinister humors could sway my affections. |
| 8652 Jan |
| 8653 Tell me, Harper, who was who with your parentage? Father the darthiir, mother the rivvil? Or father human, mother elven? It's always confusing with crossbred mongrels. |
| 8654 Two people in love, swine. A rain not likely to soak your parade of scabbed obscenity anytime soon. |
| 8655 Minsc, that tattoo on your face. Does it have tribal significance, or did some nursery's fingerpainting class assault you with blue pastels? |
| 8656 I do not like the tone of your voice, dark elf! The face I have is the face the ladies love! Boo loves Minsc's face, too. Don't you, Boo? Don't you? Yes! |
| 8657 What brought you to the Life? Surely some measure of madness. |
| 8658 I've no desire to discuss my past with you or anyone, Viconia. |
| 8659 I was raised in Candlekeep under Gorion's wise hand, and now here I am. |
| 8660 Suit yourself. I'm sure that your tall tale would be peppered with lies and half-truths regardless. |
| 8661 Your mundane past interests me no more than the lives of any other passing acquaintance. Tell me of your struggle with your half-brother. |
| 8662 That subject is off-limits. Sorry. |
| 8663 I took his life, and in doing so, I restored peace and stopped a conflict with Amn. |
| 8664 Was the fate of nations your concern, or was the conflict far more personal? Perhaps only one sibling could live to carry on the family name? |
| 8665 She served as nanny when nature boy abandoned his wife with child. She lives not but up the steps. I's sure she'll welcome friends o' nature boy. |
| 8666 I'd really rather not talk about this right now, Viconia. |
| 8667 I doubt the name was meant for either of us, Viconia, but it is in the past now. |
| 8668 Large Sword |
| 8669 She knows! After nature boy ran off, she was nanny to his wife's child 'fore movin' up the steps. Go pester her. Say you know nature boy. She'll love that. |
| 8670 I's stay here to save money on inns! I send all my coin to the young 'uns. Go pester Fennecia, up the steps. She'll love to meet nature boy's friends. |
| 8671 I have been watching you for a time as we travel. You have a pleasing look about you, I think. The sort of musculature that does make a woman swoon with desire. |
| 8672 Get lost. I don't need none o' you bothering me. Gotta gets some sleep so's I can work tomorrow. |
| 8673 Truly? You find me desirable, do you? |
| 8674 I don't have time for such talk, Viconia. Keep your eyes to yourself. |
| 8675 I hate to impose, but we really should go look into my wife's whereabouts. I'm sure she's fine, but it would be best to find out for sure. |
| 8676 Perhaps. And what do you think of Viconia, hmm? Does her ebony glow spur lustful thoughts? Does her sharp beauty give you singular twinges of desire? |
| 8677 Arenthis |
| 8678 Arenthis |
| 8679 I think you are the most exotic creature I have ever laid my eyes upon. |
| 8680 This place is saved. I thank you. My name is Verthan, and since Faldorn cast her foul ritual, I have been planning for her defeat. You are saviors of this place. |
| 8681 You know of your beauty well enough, Viconia. I'll not add to your descriptions. |
| 8682 Your beauty is marred only by the ugliness with which you treat others around you, Viconia. |
| 8683 No, it doesn't. You're not my type, truly. |

| 8688 Oh, omnipresent authority figure, what are your commands now? |
| 8689 Jaheira, there is a level of sarcasm in your tone that is perhaps unnecessary. We have a leader that honestly tries to anticipate our needs... |
| 8690 I am the challenge master, and I ask of druids present if there are any that wish to make challenge? Our order is in disarray and in need of leadership. |
| 8691 Heed Mazzy well, Jaheira. |
| 8692 "Tries," Mazzy? |

| 8711 Igarol! I would know your mottled hide anywhere. How are you? |
| 8712 I have been thinking a little. I've been thinking of the time I've spent with the rivvil... the humans... and I have found nothing redeeming or worthwhile in them. |
| 8713 Well, there is hardly anything redeeming or worthwhile in you either, so get used to it. |
| 8714 You shouldn't judge all humans by the actions of a few, Viconia. |
| 8715 Attack Roll (Left) |
| 8716 Indeed. I am despicable, am I? I am to be destroyed and murdered for no more cause than my race, is this how it is to be on the surface? |
| 8717 Don't come crying to me, Viconia. No doubt most of what you get you deserve. |
| 8718 I am sure it is not like that everywhere... and not with everybody. But you could certainly try harder, Viconia. |
| 8719 No? Shall I not judge them by the farmer in Beregost, or by the fanatics who would have burned me alive, or by the countless peasants who have hunted me? |
| 8720 Name me one surface-dweller who has treated me with ANY civility! |
| 8721 You arrogant iblith! Jal khaless zhah waela! All trust is foolish! Words to live by. |
| 8722 *giggle* Uh... you should probably talk to Rumie here. Okay? |
| 8723 You know nothing! Shall I crawl on the ground, exposing my belly to every rivvil waiting with a knife to gut me? I think not. Leave me be, <CHARNAME>. |
| 8724 I have acted... poorly towards you. I... I wish to apologize. |
| 8725 The years have taken your memory, Igarol, though even the greatest crags are eroded by the rivers of time. It is Cernd, and once you called me neighbor. |
| 8726 I have been watching you in combat, Korgan. You fight well... for the unblessed. Perhaps the blood sacrifices that you make to your... primitive gods?... work after all. |
| 8727 You? Apologize? The great and haughty Viconia? |
| 8728 *sigh* Is it not enough that I permit you to accompany us that I must put up with your constant drivel? |
| 8729 Certainly, make fun if you wish, but you... did not deserve my insults. You are the only surfacer who has treated me fairly and not demanded something in return. |
| 8730 Chapter 3 Throughout my time in Athkatla and my adventures in and around the city, I have seen hints of some great struggle between the Shadow Thieves and some other source... a guild filled with vampires and perhaps even greater evils. The enemies of the Shadow Thieves are now my enemy, of that I am sure. Gaelan has sent me with a key to meet the Shadowmaster of the Shadow Thieves, he who controls the entirety of this powerful organization: Aran Linvail. This is by far preferable to receiving "help" from vampires... although I somehow doubt that the gold I gave Gaelan is the last of the final price I will have to pay for help from the Shadow Thieves. |

| 8738 I did not say I did nae remember you. I said that I did not know you, and of that I am sure. The Cernd I knew was killed years ago, and yer foul apparition took his place. |
| 8739 I... I don't know why you say that, but I assure you it is I. Like the hare changes coats to suit the season, I am different but the same. You must see th... |
| 8740 Yer idiocy is surpassed only by yer unskilled flounderin' on the field o' battle. Stupid boy! Ye're vassal to a selfish god, given useless power in swap for your soul. |
| 8741 I know what you are. You are a shadow of the Cernd that took a wife and called me neighbor. You are the pale reflection of the decent man that worked the lands with me. |
| 8742 Now I serve the lands; is that such a change? Surely you see that my greater duty... |
| 8743 Still you do not see! I question not your service to the lands, but do not speak to me of duty when you are the one who abandoned his wife! |
| 8744 She understood, even if you do not. She saw that my fate was to serve nature; there was no room for the mundane activities of city living. She understood... |
| 8745 You... you are not too bad to travel with. For a lowly male, that is. |
| 8746 That's your idea of an apology? Get lost, Viconia. |
| 8747 Had to add that last bit, eh? I accept your apology, Viconia. |
| 8748 You do not have to put up with my "drivel," as you call it. Nor do you have to put up with my presence. Simply say so and I shall be on my way. |
| 8749 Understood what? No, Cernd, how could you ask her to understand something that you do not? Yes, nature called to you and you went, but no doubt you were afraid to stay. |

| 8782 Well, you certainly make claim to know much of what happened between me and Galia alone. I left on good terms, I left in good faith, and I left her well taken care of. |
| 8783 Cernd, you left her with child. |

It completely cures all disease and blindness in the recipient and heals all points of damage suffered due to wounds or injury. It also dispels a Feeblemind spell and cures those mental disorders caused by spells or injury to the brain. Naturally, the effects can be negated by later wounds, injuries, and diseases. |

| 8793 Within nine months of your leaving, I would imagine. Not quite as attuned with nature as you thought, eh? Or did you subconsciously know and left because of it? |
| 8794 At least tell me how she is. She is well, isn't she? |
| 8795 Itchy |
| 8796 ... |
| 8797 Speak to me, Igarol! Please. |
| 8798 Very well, but what has happened is not easily undone. Go see for yourself, Cernd. Go to the house you called home and see what you left behind. You'll find your way from there, I am sure. |
| 8799 I thank you, Igarol, even though this news is most troubling. I must speak with Galia and tell her... tell her my thoughts. |
| 8800 Hit Points doubled |
| 8801 Yes, well, go to the house. Then you will see. |

| 8810 Hypocrite. Ye've no faith beyond that which brings you personal pleasure. A pig in filth. Wallow elsewhere, boy. |

| 8812 So... what draws you to this part of Faerûn? Amn? Athkatla? I seem to recall you mentioning something about a mission or some bother. |
| 8813 I have to rescue Imoen. She's been my companion since I was young. |
| 8814 I need to know who captured me, for what purpose, and what they have in mind for Imoen. |
| 8815 Why would you be so concerned over a prattling and addled teenager? |
| 8816 Annoying or not, she's the little sister I never had, and I love her like one. |
| 8817 Well, she has been my closest friend since childhood and a loyal companion. |
| 8818 This perception of sibling relations is peculiar to the surface, <CHARNAME>. In the Underdark, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>ly love can take a far more sinister tenor. |
| 8819 Oh, how intriguing. If I didn't know better, it would seem that there is an unsavory attraction between you two. |
| 8820 How are you going to hunt down these culprits who ambushed you? Vermin rarely leave scent or footstep. |
| 8821 Lady Jaheira, it seems quite strange to me that a woman of clearly noble past would choose the life of an adventurer. What has brought you to this dangerous path? |
| 8822 It is a path of conscience. Some druids choose a contemplative lifestyle, but I sought a more active role in the furthering of nature's cause. And you? Did you become a priest of Helm only for honor and glory? |

| 8833 I have a plan that's foolproof, Viconia, so don't you worry about anything. |
| 8834 The cowled ones are not to be taken lightly. It's whispered how their power is boundless, and their allegiances are only with the powerful. |
| 8835 Do not patronize me, <CHARNAME>! I don't appreciate your brusque manner or where your eyes are gazing at the moment. |
| 8836 Perhaps "his" war died. That does not mean other conflicts won't arise. Perhaps I ramble on; if you wish, I'll stop bothering you. |
| 8837 No, no. Tell me, what have you been up to since all the trouble with Sarevok happened? |
| 8838 Stop bothering me, Viconia. You're right, you do ramble on. |
| 8839 I see you are no different from these other surface-dwellers. I shall remember this insult, jaluk. |

| 8844 I have more than 25 HP. |
| 8845 My neighbor was Roran Midfallow, a stout, sunburned farmer. We spoke often, and I allowed the male to bring me supplies that I needed but could not acquire. |
| 8846 Go on, Viconia. Please. |
| 8847 You don't need to continue your story... I think I can see where this is heading. Come, let us go. |

| 8850 I had grown weak in my trust. They chortled as I lost consciousness, saying how easy it had been and congratulating each other on a fine... a fine catch. |
| 8851 What did you do after you escaped from the ground? |
| 8852 Those men are sick and twisted, Viconia. Don't judge all by the actions of a few. |
| 8853 Show me something worth loving, and I shall. |
| 8854 Spell cast at double level |
| 8855 I wish to... apologize for attempting to unburden myself upon you before. I was foolish to be so weak in Beregost, and worse yet to speak to you about it. |
| 8856 Your wizard spells have been disabled. |
| 8857 Well, I was barely listening anyway, so don't worry about it. Let's just concentrate on killing the next orc we see. |

| 8866 Not everyone hates the drow so completely, Viconia. I don't think you're so terrible. |
| 8867 Sethle |
| 8868 Yes, you were rather foolish. You should be more careful. I've had to rescue you on more than one occasion. |
| 8870 You would think me terrible enough, abbil, if you knew enough about me. I am drow... make no mistake about that. |
| 8871 Well, do tell me when it becomes a bother, <CHARNAME>, and I shall be sure to let your human kin tear me to pieces at their first opportunity. |

| 8881 And what type would that be, hmm? Your protests aside, I know where your passion lies, dog. It lies at my feet, and you shall lie there and beg soon enough. |
| 8882 Well... what about me, for instance? |
| 8883 You get treated with the same civility that you show others, Viconia. |
| 8884 You?! You gather fools like moths to a flame and wander without any knowledge of real experience! What do you know, moronic jaluk?! Now leave me be! |

| 8891 You do not seem too sure of your words. Your welcome may well be a cold one. |
| 8892 Going to look up the old girlfriend and renew ties? Think she'll take you back? |
| 8893 Really, Cernd, you didn't strike me as the type to run out on your wife. |
| 8894 They give character in the end. They define where we have been. |
| 8895 Of course not. The righteous path ever beckons. It is merely a dividend of the Order that a member can make a place for himself in this difficult world. |
| 8896 Nor I. There is little alternative to time, though. |
| 8897 I would not have thought you so weak. What are a few marks here and there? |

| 8907 That is not my interest. Long ago, Galia and I could have had a life together, but other things called to me and those feelings are in the past. |
| 8908 I have heard enough of such things. Let us quit the whining. |
| 8909 Ah, I see. They are one in the same in the long run. I imagine they will both heal in time, given favorable conditions to do so. I think we will both be fine. |
| 8910 True enough, though I do not have to enjoy it. |
| 8911 Ah, I am not fooling anyone. The leftovers of hardships that I should not be dwelling on. You speak a lot of sense when you wish to, <CHARNAME>. I thank you. |

| 8938 I should go find my former wife as soon as possible. As much as I regret having to take this trip, I must still insist we go soon. |
| 8939 Do I know you? I'll not abide strangers in this house. |
| 8940 I am unsure because you are probably as I remember you as well: a scared little man that runs out on those that need him most. I have nothing to say to you. |
| 8941 She's dead, Cernd. You needn't worry about her getting in the way of your duty any more. She's dead. |
| 8942 I said I had nothing to say to you. Get out. |
| 8943 We have a mutual acquaintance, a man named Cernd? We are looking for his wife. |
| 8944 We are trying to find out what happened to the family of a friend of ours, a man named Cernd. Can you help? |
| 8945 Go on, I'm done talking to you. |
| 8946 Ahh, Fennecia, you are as I remember you. You look unsure? It is Cernd, your former employer. I hope you recall. |
| 8947 Fennecia? Please, I have come to speak with Galia. Is she here? Our old home is deserted. |
| 8948 Dead? But... Igarol... Fennecia, what happened? Tell me. |
| 8949 Get Cernd out of my home. I'll not say a word while he is here. |
| 8950 You should choose better company. That one just ain't right. Running out on a woman like that. |
| 8951 He has a different view of it. He claims it was for the best and that it was a mutual decision. |
| 8952 Try to be a bit more forgiving. He only wants to know what has happened. |
| 8953 I did not think him capable of such a thing. What happened exactly? |
| 8954 Yes, well he would, wouldn't he? It doesn't matter, really. What's done is done, and there's not a damn thing he can do to make it better. |
| 8955 The easy way to learn what happened would have been to have not run off. I guess he didn't consider that method though. |
| 8956 I'll tell you what happened to the best of my knowledge, which will certainly be better than his recollection, I am sure. |
| 8957 It doesn't matter, because their deal was broken when she found out she was pregnant. So Galia took comfort where she could... a local noble named Deril. |
| 8958 Galia... died a few months ago. I ain't saying nothing, but it didn't seem natural. No fuss made... Deril's got a wallet for the guard, if you get my drift? |
| 8959 Galia's son... Cernd's son... is with Deril now. No doubt the boy will be an unthinking lout... if not from the family line, then from example. |
| 8960 It sounds like this Deril is really the villain here, not Cernd. |
| 8961 That cannot be a healthy environment for a child. The guard will do nothing? |
| 8962 And you let this all happen? I thought you were the child's nanny? |
| 8963 If Cernd had been man enough to stay, none of this would have happened. His lack of nerve started it all, and I'd say that to his face if I were speaking to him. |
| 8964 The guard will do what to who? The child is an orphan of a woman whose husband ran off. They are less than garbage in this town. |
| 8965 What could I do? A blood relation might have some call to take it, but with its mother dead and its father a coward, who will stand? Me? You? |
| 8966 I see you. I got special eyes just for the likes of you. Who are you? You ain't got business here. |
| 8967 I should say I do. I would speak with your master Deril. Do be quick about getting him, will you? |
| 8968 He don't speak to no one. You will leave. |
| 8969 As the simple wasp must coerce the flower to release its nectar, so will I rip your throat from its moorings and drain your lifeblood if I do not see Deril and my child! UNDERSTAND?! |
| 8970 Well, you sure sound like his other guests. He doesn't like to be disturbed, but I will tell him you are here. Maybe you are just late for the party, or whatever. |
| 8971 Good man, good man, you go now and get him. |
| 8972 Cernd, that was quite the outburst. I didn't think you had it in you. |
| 8973 Could you be a little less insane please?! I'd like to get out of here alive. |
| 8974 Odd time to develop a spine, Cernd. I was expecting him to attack right there. |
| 8975 It's not so much in me as in a puddle around me. Scared myself, I did. It worked though. Let's see what our friend brings back with him. |
| 8976 I'm not exactly sure what came over me there. Glad it passed, but it seemed to do the trick. Let's see what our thick friend brings back with him. |
| 8977 I was as well. Not the brightest thing I've done today. Oh well, it seemed to do the trick. Let's see what the big lout retrieves. |
| 8978 I disturb! I would have words with you! |
| 8979 You? And who might you be? There is something about your eyes that I recognize. Who are you? |
| 8980 I am called Cernd, and we have business to discuss. |
| 8981 Well, I know that name, although those that knew you call you several others. By their description, I would have not expected you to ever return. |
| 8982 Well, it is here... er... I am here, and we have matters that we must discuss! |
| 8983 I think not. I am done with you and your kin. What is it you think we must speak of? I am sure I will find your answer amusing. |
| 8984 My wife and her death! My child and his life! |
| 8985 Ah, she is long since gone. If I began ignoring her while she was still here, why can't you release yourself after years? Best you learn to control yourself. |
| 8986 I... I... |
| 8987 No, you do not, do you? No one has told you, and you have not been here. What claim have you? |
| 8988 I am the child's father and rightful guardian! |
| 8989 Cernd, accuse him of the murder of Galia. If we threaten to bring the guards into it, he may relinquish the child. |
| 8990 Cernd, we will back you if you threaten him. That will make him hand over the child. |
| 8991 Give it a rest, Cernd. All is lost. I will not risk my neck for a brat you cannot even name. |
| 8992 We can beat this lout, Cernd. Let us stop this chatter and simply kill the bastard! |
| 8993 I am the child's father, and I make claim that you murdered the mother! Galia died in your care, and the guards of this city will... |
| 8994 Ha ha! I buy the guards when I need to! Besides, how sure are you? Perhaps she took her own life, pining for your return, weeping over your picture... |
| 8995 Shut up. |
| 8996 Crying for the day her brave Cernd would return and take her away... |
| 8997 SHUT UP! |
| 8998 Until she could take it no more and, whispering your name, sipped a hemlock-laced wine, ending her torture. Or maybe I pushed her down the stairs. Take your pick. |
| 8999 I will tear your eyes as the raven! |
| 9000 We're with you, Cernd! Let's get him! |
| 9001 Ehh, you're on your own here, Cernd. He said he has visitors. I don't like these odds. |
| 9002 It would have been better for you to find a nonviolent solution, but now I have entertainment for my guests. Come to my side, my comrades; enjoy the spectacle. |
| 9003 Help me, comrades. To my aid! |
| 9004 Are you weak? Do you require the sitting as a baby? Prove yourself. |
| 9005 As you will. I am WORTHY! |
| 9006 Well, he is proven weak and undeserving. I give you your lives for this knowledge. Begone; the way is unbarred. Take the mewling whelp with you as well. Sentimental weakling. |
| 9007 Then I will fight him myself! I release you from any bond you feel you have with me! This I must do! |
| 9008 You should have followed their lead, Cernd. You will provide a fine amusement for my guests. The rest of you had best leave. This no longer concerns you. |
| 9009 Oh... I... I need some healing... Oh, it hurts so much! |
| 9010 We have him! Oh, my child... I must take him to a safe place. I will go to the druid grove. Perhaps you will meet me there? Once he is established in their care, I might travel again for a time. I shall see... |
| 9011 Oh... I can't help but remember what the forests in the north looked like from the sky. They're... they're so majestic! |
| 9012 I... I never saw much of the cities from the circus. Are they all so crowded like this? |
| 9013 Hand me my child, or we shall cause such damage that the guard must ask questions despite your bribes: who you are, what you do... who your GUESTS are! |
| 9014 I just realized I was never told his name. I... will name him anew. His mother's middle name, for she is all I hope he remembers. A fine name. Ahsdale. |
| 9015 That would be a mistake on your part! I'll not tolerate your ultimatums! |
| 9016 What is this delay, Deril? Do not make me chastise you for keeping us waiting. Perhaps you are not worthy? |
| 9017 There... there is no delay, Lagole. I was just dispatching some... some servants. You! Take this brat and get out of my sight! I have no time for this now! |
| 9018 This is not over! I will deal with you later! |
| 9019 I see you. I got special eyes just for the likes of you. Who would you be? Ain't supposed to be anyone here. Get out. |
| 9020 Come now, it wouldn't do for you to keep us here. Your master is waiting for us. Get Deril and be quick about it. You know how unforgiving he is. |
| 9021 Come now, it wouldn't do for you to keep us here. Your master is waiting for us. Get Deril and be quick about it. You know how he loves company. |
| 9022 You will move your carcass and get Deril right quick. I will not wait a second longer than I have to! I'd hate to ruin his carpets with your sorry lifeblood! |
| 9023 Come now, maybe I could pad your income just a tad, and you'd be a good lad and go get Deril? Say, 100 gold? |
| 9024 I suppose... You don't move though. Lots of guests come today, so maybe you are guests too. First ones to use the door though. |
| 9025 You don't know him none. Deril is one big... er... he don't enjoy no one's company. You get lost. |
| 9026 Well, you sure sound like his other guests. He doesn't like to be disturbed, but I will tell him you are here. Maybe you are just late for the party, or whatever. |
| 9027 You're a man who looks like he could use a few extra coins. How about I pay you to let me in, and you go get Deril? Good idea? Let's say, oh, 1,000 gold? |
| 9028 That ain't half enough to buy my life. You get lost. |
| 9029 A thou... You betcha! I goes and gets him! Just you waits! |
| 9030 Well, how about 1,000 gold then? Will that work? |
| 9031 Does he enjoy cleaning his servants off the walls? Because I'm about to reduce you to a fine red mist! |
| 9032 Well, how about 1,000 gold then? Will that work? |
| 9033 It's getting closer in value as we speak, because it's about to get a lot shorter! Let me pass! |
| 9034 Sorry, I'm on my way. |
| 9035 Sorry, I'll be going. |
| 9036 Good t'ing too. Don' come back! |
| 9037 Sorry, I'm on my way. |
| 9038 Den you bring it on! Deril make me strong for fools like you's! You shoulda left! Now you gonna die! |
| 9039 Who has disturbed my meeting? My guests will not tolerate interruptions! |
| 9040 Oh, stow it! I have come for Cernd's child, and you will hand it over! |
| 9041 I am terribly sorry for this, as I am sorry for the loss of your servant. I always pity the messenger. |
| 9042 You would be Deril, would you not? We have business to discuss. |
| 9043 Cernd? Where have I heard that name? Ah yes, the lout that left his wife to me. I was puzzled; his former friends call him many other things. Amusing, isn't it? |
| 9044 You are the ones! I said I would come for you! I was worthy, and now I will take revenge for your slight! Death comes! Embrace him! |
| 9045 It is never over! You will fall! You cannot defeat me! |
| 9046 You have breached my home! Here you will die and rest! |
| 9047 And what business would that be? Enlighten me. Perhaps it will prove amusing. I highly doubt it, but perhaps. |
| 9048 It is the small matter of a child, the child of an acquaintance of mine. Cernd is his name. |
| 9049 Do I look like I need gold? And what do you mean by "return"? Has the father ever seen it? Does he know its name? Do you? Actually, I may have forgotten it myself. |
| 9050 Weep not for the servant. I will rebuild him at my leisure. You, however, I shall leave in pieces. Who are you, and what do you wish here? |
| 9051 If you are Deril, then we have business to discuss. |
| 9052 A simple matter, really, over the child of an acquaintance of mine. Cernd is his name. |
| 9053 Is he the man that left his wife to me? She is gone, forgotten even before her death. If I can manage such indifference, why can this "Cernd" not move on? |
| 9054 Actually, I think I've made a bit of a mistake, and I'll be going now. |
| 9055 Ehh, actually, I have made a mistake, and I will be going now. Forgive the intrusion. |
| 9056 Sorry, my mistake. I'll just be going now. |
| 9057 Too late for that; I can't appear weak to my guests. Fortunately, my comrades enjoy a bit of sport. Come! See these foolish creatures dispatched by my hand! |
| 9058 As for the child... it is around here somewhere. The servants feed it from time to timeâ€â€at least, I think they do. I hear it mewling on occasion. Why do you think you are entitled to it? What do you intend to do here? |
| 9059 I intend to offer you a fortune for the child's return. How does 10,000 gold strike you? |
| 9060 I have come to retrieve the child, and I shall take it by force if I have to! |
| 9061 I will call the guards if you don't hand it over. They might be interested that you may have killed its mother, Galia. |
| 9062 I will make noise, so much that no matter your bribe, the guards will have to investigate you, your history, your company... |
| 9063 MIGHT and MAY? You call that a case? Do you think such a story would hold up? It has been more than a year, long enough to cover the tracks of any alleged crime. |
| 9064 Besides, perhaps she took her own life. Maybe she pined for her beloved to return. "Oh where oh where is Cernd?" whom I do not see even now. |
| 9065 Perhaps it grew tiresome, just as your company has, and whispering "Cernd," she sipped hemlock-laced wine... or perhaps I pushed her down the stairs. Take your pick. |
| 9066 Then you shall have to. Oh, did I mention my company? Come, my comrades, and see these creatures dispatched! I will prove my worth here! |
| 9067 Regardless, I tire of this game. You have come under the banner of another, and you shall die for it. Come, my comrades, see me prove my worth! |
| 9068 For all of the good that you have accomplished in Baldur's Gate, you act now like you don't know the meaning of the word. Heed me well: Come back to the side of the righteous, or I shall be forced to call you enemy. |
| 9069 Little halfling, you don't frighten me, so save your breath. |
| 9070 I have not always done right, but you have my assurance I will not stray again. |
| 9071 Little I may be of body, but strong I am in conviction. You have been warned. |
| 9072 You speak most nobly now. See that your actions reflect your words, and all shall be well. |
| 9073 My conscience can allow me to be idle no longer. In the name of all that is good, I accuse you of willfully committing acts of evil. |
| 9074 Worry not for the feelings of <CHARNAME>, small one, as <PRO_HESHE> and I go far back and have an understanding of sorts. |
| 9075 As you will. It was only a humble suggestion. I've no wish to intrude upon your relationship with <CHARNAME>. |
| 9076 Home? But I thought you maintained your quarters at the Radiant Heart. |
| 9077 I didn't know this was where you grew up, Keldorn. Which house was yours? |
| 9078 Listen to me, drow. Though our leader has made the foolish choice of allowing you to join this party, you shall receive no welcome from me. Slayer of innocents! You taint the sun with your evil! |
| 9079 Yes, yes, very moving. Come, we have no time to dawdle over childhood memories. |
| 9080 Trying to make me repentant for the ways of the storm will prove no more fruitful than whistling down the wind. |
| 9081 Have you... given any thought to this? |
| 9082 My attendance at the Order is... it is oft required, but my servants maintain an estate in this district, and it is there that I visit my wife and daughters... Would you like to come? I shall introduce you. |
| 9083 Cruel words will do you little good when your head is on a pike. Step across the line even once, and I will kill you. |
| 9084 Eventually they will become a foolhardy exercise. Bones will grow weary in time. I know it will happen, and when that time comes, there will be little choice. |
| 9085 Oooh... we have such stories amongst my people. Being underground is just not for the avariel... |
| 9086 You... might think it's silly, but at least in the daytime you can see what's coming! |
| 9087 Jan, I find you to be quite the enigma. This adventure has yielded us a crop of useful magical items, and yet you turn your considerable powers to the never-ending quest to create the perfect turnip peeler. |
| 9088 My... my mother used to tell me such stories about the terrible things that come out in the night. But... oh, you must think me foolish... |
| 9089 Yes? |
| 9090 No thanks, Keldorn. It is not my place to intrude upon your personal life. |
| 9091 Well, Mazzy, you're really asking two questions there. My shortsightedness was passed to me by my dear departed father. I was born with the condition, and I'll thank you not to stare! As to your other question, it takes me back to my carefree days as a deckhand on a turnip merchant galleon. We sailed for distant Waterdeep, we did, braving foul seas, foul tempers, and a desperate band of turnip pirates. |
| 9092 I would like that. |
| 9093 It is hardly an intrusion. They will be pleased to meet you and, as I said, it has been far too long since last I saw them. |
| 9094 I'll help however I can. |
| 9095 You are mentally incapable of answering a straight question, aren't you, gnome? |
| 9096 Very well. I shall point it out to you as we pass its gates. As I said, it has been far too long since last I walked these streets. |
| 9097 'Twas on a cold winter's night near the beginning of the Great Underwear Shortage that we set sail. I danced naked on the poop deck, which was the custom at the time. Well, my nose and other extremities were getting a bit frosty, so I gathered up the tatters of my poor, abused underwear and headed to the crow's nest. |
| 9098 I was born in Esmeltaran, but Athkatla has long been my home. My tasks for the church too often keep me away, but my estate is in this district, along with my wife and daughters. Would you like to come? I could introduce you. |
| 9099 Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up! |
| 9100 Well, I never! You did ask, after all. |
| 9101 SHUT UP! |
| 9102 Nalia |
| 9103 Nalia |
| 9104 Mazzy |
| 9105 Mazzy |
| 9106 Yoshimo |
| 9107 Yoshimo |
| 9108 In truth, when the Order sees my worth, I'll no longer need to travel with lowly folk such as you there, halfling. |
| 9109 Never will I heed a lowly halfling! Hold your tongue lest I cut it from your cursed mouth. |
| 9110 Your implication is correct. You are no paladin, nor shall you ever be. Learn your place, for I shall suffer your delusions no longer. |
| 9111 We have greater responsibilities, so I shall fall behind you. But do not accustom yourself to ordering me about like a common peasant. |
| 9112 As you will have it. I shall stay my hand for now. |
| 9113 'Tis truly an adventure for the weak-willed. I've fought campaigns against the Hillgnasher giants and slew twenty of the foul beasts. |
| 9114 You have not, and I've no wish to hear it. |
| 9115 I warn you, gnome. Cease your prattling immediately! |
| 9116 No thanks, Keldorn. It is not my place to intrude upon your personal life. |
| 9117 I'll suffer no insults from you, runtish one! |
| 9118 I would like that. |
| 9119 I shall not forget this, gnome! Your blood will flow yet! |
| 9120 I did, actor... So you can stop pushing your weight around and leave the fighting to those of us who can handle the front line. |
| 9121 Look, harlequin, go on and tell your tales... I'm sure someone here believes them. Now get out of my sight before I skewer you and your liar's soul. |
| 9122 Heresy is a devil's bellow, dwarf. My service is to my lord. |
| 9123 My god has a face and name, heretic. He leaves me free to draw his grand design upon the souls of the lapsed and faithless. |
| 9124 Nonsense. My estate is in this district, along with my wife and daughters. I am sure they would love to meet you. Come, and I shall make the necessary introductions. |
| 9125 No thanks, Keldorn. It is not my place to intrude upon your personal life. |
| 9126 I would like that. |
| 9127 Forgive me, but it... it has been near a season since I last saw my family. May we not take some time out of our current schedule and check that they are well? |
| 9128 What can I do? |
| 9129 Enough! Silence yourself and fall behind me now! We haven't the time to waste on these pointless arguments. |
| 9130 Haer'Dalis, a ronin, a rogue. You have more freedom than most, and yet you remain as grumpy as a flea-bitten dog. Why so glum? |
| 9131 You have my leave to go. Where shall I find you again when you are done? |
| 9132 Dogs, is it? A fitting cloak for a bloodhound. You've got the scent now, Yoshimo, and shall bring the prey to your mysterious master. |
| 9133 No more bickering. We are a party and should act as such. |
| 9134 Voice of the East |
| 9135 Then let us visit your estate and see this family you have kept so secret. |
| 9136 No master have I, save my own conscience. I merely wish to know why life is such a burden to you. |
| 9137 Shackles as heavy as yours cannot be hidden from one who has been a slave. I tire of this dreadful acting. Leave me be, Yoshimo. |
| 9138 Anomen |
| 9139 Anomen |
| 9140 In time, Keldorn. In time. But for the time being, we have more important things to do. |
| 9141 Yoshimo |
| 9142 Do not try my patience in this matter. We must rescue Imoen. Your family will wait. |
| 9143 Friend Korgan, you are truly a paragon of dwarven ill humor. Can you find no joy in being alive? The smell of the morning dew and the feel of the free air? |
| 9144 Keldorn |
| 9145 Keldorn |
| 9146 Aye, I find pleasure in the feel of an inquisitive thief's neck bone breakin' between me hands. |
| 9147 They could write a book about you. "Irritable Dwarven Responses," they'd call it. It would be a bestseller amongst the smelly-old-drunk market. What say you? |
| 9148 Thank you, m'<LADYLORD>. You may find me at my quarters in the Radiant Heart guild house when I am done. |
| 9149 Mayhaps ye should, only "Pleasures of the Dwarven Bedchamber" is a more pleasing and accurate subject. |
| 9150 Ho! Is it, now? How about "The Unbathed Adventurer: Travels with Korgan"? |
| 9151 Worry not, thief. There's naught wrong with yer idea that a sharp blow to yer idiot skull wouldn't fix. |
| 9152 Most holy paladin, vengeance of the righteous gods, you are a married man, are you not? What of your family? I have never heard you speak of them. |
| 9153 Cernd |
| 9154 Truly... I am married. I have a beautiful wife and two daughters. They are the joy of my life. |
| 9155 Cernd |
| 9156 Are they? It is strange that you have not mentioned them before this. |
| 9157 I assure you that they are. My wife is a charming woman, and my daughters are becoming likewise. That is all I will discuss of my family, thief, so begone. |
| 9158 Valygar |
| 9159 Valygar |
| 9160 One must maintain constant discipline and remember the four principles of virtue... that is my motto and everlasting burden. |
| 9161 Virtue, eh, knighty? |
| 9162 Indeed, little one. 'Tis not virtuous to refer to me as "knighty." |
| 9163 Another human with his shorts in a knot. But I digress. Anyway, Keldy, my mother wrote a book on virtue. |
| 9164 Did she? |
| 9165 Oh, yes. A book on the virtues of erotic love. "Sins of the Flesh Golem," it was called. Excellent sales in the paladin's spouse market. |
| 9166 A wholly inappropriate jest, Jan. You should be ashamed. |
| 9167 It is no jest. I'll send you a copy, if your wife does not already have one. |
| 9168 Never speak of my wife, gnome. Your lack of respect is appalling. |
| 9169 Ah, now I see. One of THOSE. |
| 9170 It is not your place to judge my affairs. You must learn to respect your leaders. |
| 9171 I do respect my leaders. This has nothing to do with them. This reminds me of the chapter where the paladin first makes passionate love to the flesh golem. What a beautiful scene... |
| 9172 Begone, gnome, lest my honor demand I perform acts that you shall regret. |
| 9173 "Fleshy, honey," the paladin said. "Yes, baby?" said the golem... |
| 9174 I mean no dishonor to you, but I must visit my family. I fear I serve two masters here and must insult the one to appease the other... When all of this has passed, you will be able to find me at the Order. Is that all right? |
| 9175 (No doubt my kneecaps are in some danger.) Halfling, here you stand still living thanks to the use of my magic. Question me not. |
| 9176 Quite a mouthful for one of a servant race. I understand your warning and will take it for what it's worth. Begone! |
| 9177 (Ah, already we have the fool convinced that you are muttering!) |
| 9178 Ah, here at long last is... my estate. The servants have tended to it well this past while. |
| 9179 A rather bold conjecture, don't you think, Korgan? |
| 9180 You're an odd little fellow, Korgan. I'm not quite sure what to make of you and your chagrins. |
| 9181 Ah, Peony, you have done a fine job with the flowers out front. Where is your mistress? |
| 9182 Haer'Dalis |
| 9183 Haer'Dalis |
| 9184 Aerie |
| 9185 Aerie |
| 9186 Haer'Dalis, Haer'Dalis! You think too much and smile too little. Come, my bullywug! Come, my puss 'n boots! We are in Athkatla, the city of a million smiling faces! |
| 9187 Aye, parrot, aye... 'Tis because they're all trying to sell me something! |
| 9188 I have seen your fingers, and they are as fast as your tongue! What you don't want to buy, you can always steal! |
| 9189 And what you don't want to steal? ...I trust not your boundless glee, my parrot, for something in it jingles with the sound of silver. |
| 9190 Silver? Or gold? We pluck it from every corpse we find and steal it from every chest that we encounter! |
| 9191 Aye, you are twice rewarded, but you have no more been a prisoner than I have been a king... Consider yourself forewarned, thief. My trust does not come easy, and you have not won it yet. |
| 9192 Speak not to your betters, surface slave. |
| 9193 Akae |
| 9194 Jan |
| 9195 My brother, Elgar Buttercup, had skin the shade of charcoal, too. Well, technically it WAS charcoal. He died in a nasty fire, you see. |
| 9196 You do love the sound of your own voice, don't you, gnome? |
| 9197 My own voice? Heartless wench! Do you not know? I am deaf. I have never heard the sound of my own voice. I read lips... *sob*... only lips... |
| 9198 Deaf? Truly? In the Underdark, the deaf are killed or used in pain threshold experiments. |
| 9199 I heard that! In fact, it reminds me of the time I was eaten by an avatar of Lolth. I was stuck inside her stomach with a miserable drow called Biffle Chump for days. Of course, I was forced to eat him. A matter of survival, you understand. Nothing personal. He tasted a bit like chicken. |
| 9200 <CHARNAME>, how is it that you travel with such a wee buffoon? |
| 9201 Hey, don't look at me! You got him started. |
| 9202 Truthfully, it all goes back to the time that Jan's cousin, Plooty Paladin-piper, got caught in a nasty flesh-golem-eating contest... |
| 9203 What I would have given for just a pinch of pepper! |
| 9204 I refuse to listen to this. |
| 9205 Aye, Plooty had a way of attracting golems. Brilliant, really. You start with a saucer of milkâ€â€golems are suckers for milk... |
| 9206 Why, Lord Keldorn! It has been well over a month since last I saw your face. |
| 9207 And it has been as long since I have seen my Lady. Come, girl, is Maria about? |
| 9208 Excuse me, good gnome. I have a question that I've been meaning to ask for some time. These flash bombs of yours... |
| 9209 Yoshimo! Please! "Jan Jansen's Flasher Master Bruiser Mate." They have a name! |
| 9210 Oh certainly, Lord Keldorn. Lady Maria isâ€â€is in her chambers. I... I will fetch her for you. |
| 9211 Of course. These "Bruiser Mates" that you construct... might I learn how to use them? |
| 9212 I won't lie to you, Yoshimo. There is an excellent chance that you'll lose both of your arms. Perhaps even your face. |
| 9213 If you could, Peony. And the girls, too. |
| 9214 If one is not willing to take risks, then one is not much of an adventurer. |
| 9215 Well said! As Aunty Kylie used to say, "Yeah, it's risky. But they've got gelatinous cubes!" I suppose it wouldn't hurt to have you try your hand at a few. Here, give the dial a twist and throw it. |
| 9216 Mmm... perhaps I shall wait to perform such a feat. This... bomb... looks most unstable. I am surprised they do not explode in your pack, good gnome... |
| 9217 Bite yer tongue! This is my best and most potent recipe, I'll have you know. Aunt Kadie herself helped me mix this batch up, and I'll not have you disparaging her good name. |
| 9218 I meant no disparagement, Jan... but I think I'll leave the bombing to you for now. |
| 9219 You there! You will go back the way you have come! This area is under care of the druids of Tethir, and if you do not leave, you will face nature's wrath! |
| 9220 Ah, my sweet Vesper. How is your schoolwork coming? The priests are still kind to you for my sake? |
| 9221 Yes, Father. |
| 9222 ...Good, good, that's good to hear. And Leona, the boys are letting you play with them now? They're not teasing you anymore? |
| 9223 Not when the priests are there to hear it. |
| 9224 Good, good, that's good... |
| 9225 Mother, can we go now? |
| 9226 Of course, dears. Go on back to the sitting room while your father and I talk. |
| 9227 So who are these? Heathen you converted in Calimport, traveling pilgrims you stumbled across in Saradush? |
| 9228 Well, mageling, how goes the battle against all that is right and good in the world? |
| 9229 (It would surely go better without annoying gnomes asking questions) Question not my designs, else you too will become an unwilling part of them. |
| 9230 I sometimes believe that it is my destiny to become a part of some incompetent mage's fizzled schemes. Golodon the Unmanned being a case in point. You too, I suppose. |
| 9231 Maria, this is <CHARNAME>. We are searching for <PRO_HISHER> childhood companion, who |
| 9232 And by what authority do you make this threat? This is not the way of right-thinking servants of nature. Explain yourself. |
| 9233 Cernd! You... you have been away some time. Much has changed. |
| 9234 So I see, though I am confused. The Great Druid has not heard good things about what has happened here. Attacks, threats, brutality. |
| 9235 I don't care, Keldorn! It has been two months since you were here last, and then it was barely for a day! Not even enough to leave your scent about this place... |
| 9236 I am to be continually plagued by fools? Conversation with you does not rate highly on my list of things to accomplish. Run along now. (Yes, that will do.) |
| 9237 The work of the Order must be done, Maria. You know if I had my choice, I would be here. |
| 9238 Truth be told, I feel a bit sorry for you. It must be frustrating to see your entire life's goals amount to absolutely nothing. |
| 9239 What about me? What about my heart, Keldorn? What... if I don't love you anymore? |
| 9240 It is the new way, Cernd. We have a new leader to follow, and she has moved us in this direction. |
| 9241 What do you know of my goals, gnome? |
| 9242 She? What of Gragus? Was he not the Great Druid of this wood? |
| 9243 By the gods, Edwin, you mumble about them often enough. Oh! Looks like I've hit a vein. Sorry about that. |
| 9244 Yes, Cernd, but Gragus has been... replaced. Faldorn is the new leader's name, and none have dared challenge her yet. |
| 9245 One day you will bow before me, gnome. That shall be a time of reckoning. |
| 9246 So instead you follow as ants and do her foul deeds? Have you not the courage to face her? |
| 9247 Maria! |
| 9248 If you say so. Let me know when it's time to bow. I might not notice it. |
| 9249 She is a Shadow Druid, and very... violent. She also... bonded with the grove. She is invulnerable outside of challenges, and those must be one-on-one battles. |
| 9250 Such a ritual is unheard of and quite costly to the grove. I shall discuss this matter with her in a language that she will understand. Get out of my sight. |
| 9251 I... I've been seeing another man... The children and the servants already know... Heâ€â€he took the girls out to the circus twice... oh, Keldorn... |
| 9252 Many will not talk, Cernd. I do not enjoy this new role we take, but others do. Walk carefully. |
| 9253 Jan! I have heard that you are an inventor of sorts. Where do your interests lie in the field? |
| 9254 Well, well, look who has come from the sheltered north to join his brothers in the trenches. Tell me, Cernd, are you here to lecture us? |
| 9255 This is not our role! Balance is the goal, not slaughter. Trademeet never gouged the land, and yet you besiege it. Where is Gragus? He would not allow this. |
| 9256 I'm open to all creative muses. Lately, I've been working on a turnip peeler. A magical device, of course, designed to peel a hundred turnips per minute. I'm really quite close to a breakthrough. Naturally, however, it does cost well over 100 gold pieces per day to run. But think of the uses! |
| 9257 You... You what? What is his name?! |
| 9258 Williamâ€â€Sir William of Thorpe... I beg of you, don't hurt him, Keldorn. If I can't have you, at least let me have something! |
| 9259 Why, turnip peeling, for one. |
| 9260 Exactly! You've got a knack for logical thinking, Yoshi. You could go far in the service of Gond. |
| 9261 Genie |
| 9262 Genie |
| 9263 ...Goâ€â€go to your daughters. To look at you right now, Maria... To look at you is to go mad. |
| 9264 Why, Boo! What a fabulous job you did in battle! You went for the eyes as fast as any miniature giant space hamster that I've ever seen. |
| 9265 Boo says that he was just doing his job. |
| 9266 Curse the dictates of honor! ...Oh, the very gods demand that I bring this case before the courts. Sir William shall be hung and the love of my entire life imprisoned. There is no other outcome. |
| 9267 And a fine job it was. What a brave little hamster! |
| 9268 Boo says that Yoshimo did well, too... for someone who isn't Minsc. |
| 9269 I give you fair warning, interloper, that this area is under the protection of the druids of Tethir, and if you do not leave, you will face nature's wrath! |
| 9270 Come now, that cannot be your true sentiment. We are siblings in nature, her servants bonded by duty. We should not fight. |
| 9271 This is not as it should be. What has changed here to cause this hostility? Cernd said it has not always been like this. |
| 9272 I do not take kindly to your threats, and I will answer any attack with lethal force of my own! |
| 9273 Thank you, Boo. |
| 9274 Can we not come to some sort of agreement? I simply want to know what has provoked the druids of this region to such behavior. |
| 9275 Do you see that, Boo? There goes a nice man. |
| 9276 Tell me, Edwina, would you like me to let out the seams on your robe? I am quite handy with a needle. You do, after all, have more, ah... bulk... in the upper chest area. |
| 9277 Even in your grief, you show wisdom. Let us make our way to the courts. |
| 9278 Silence, you fool! Chauvinist pig! (What am I saying?) I mean to sayâ€â€"Idiot!" |
| 9279 It was only an offer, m'lady. There is no cause for anger. |
| 9280 Perhaps you should talk with her. |
| 9281 I say kill the bastard. Who is he, anyway? |

| 9298 Perhaps you should confront Sir William about the matter. |
| 9299 No, no. This is a task I must face alone. Oh, I am already so weary, but I know I shall not rest until the deed is done... Meet me back at my Order in three hours and, if the gods are willing, this nightmare shall all be over. |
| 9300 I would become a blood-soaked beast and damn my soul to the Abyss. You mean well... but it is not an option. |
| 9301 Then we must give testimony to the courts. Come, I shall be at your side. |
| 9302 Then let us bestow some justice. He has challenged your honor. There must be a reprisal. |
| 9303 Come, I know of him, and he is often at the Mithrest in Waukeen's Promenade... Let us go and see what sense we can make of this. |
| 9304 What if the girls can't live without a father anymore? What if I can't live without a husband? |
| 9305 I love you like I love the church, but the church is the harsher taskmaster... We knew that when we married. |
| 9306 I know, I know, and I love you in the same fashion, with all my heart... |
| 9307 Then if we have love, Maria, what could ever come between us? |
| 9308 What is it you require to permit my passage? Gold? Is that it? I'll pay if you wish. Will 500 do? |
| 9309 That is why I have given warning. I do not fully trust our new leader. Faldorn is... violent, but she... replaced our Great Druid, and none will challenge her. |
| 9310 Faldorn! I know of her! She was a Shadow Druid I met near the Cloakwood mine of Baldur's Gate! |
| 9311 She still obeys the rituals of ascension? Perhaps I should "discuss" this with her. |
| 9312 So you follow her regardless? Certainly you cannot condone her actions? |
| 9313 That's twice you've threatened me! I'll not run from the likes of you! |
| 9314 I have not followed her orders as she might have wished. If I had, you and I would not be speaking. I warn people away when I can, but I am not skilled enough to openly oppose her. |
| 9315 You have spoken with Cernd? I had hoped he or another would be sent to help. He serves the Great Druid in the north. He will know what to do with this Faldorn. |
| 9316 Typical of a city-dweller. I have no need of coins in the sanctity of nature. She provides for me. Leave with your arrogant wealth before you regret it. |
| 9317 That is not for you to know. Our affairs are our own business, and they will be dealt with in accordance with the rituals of the ages already set in place. |
| 9318 Damn you, I am giving you a chance to get out of here before you come to harm! I wish you no ill, but I must keep up the appearance! |
| 9319 Backing down from a fight then? I think you should learn not to make threats you cannot enforce! |
| 9320 Cernd said there was something odd going on here. What has happened? |
| 9321 What has happened here to cause this? I would not consider these attacks the traditional role of a druid. |
| 9322 Quiet! Oh... damn it all, they've heard. Others do not stop to chat. Do not say I didn't warn you. I gave you a chance, but no, you wanted to butt heads. So be it, I tried. |
| 9323 What has happened here to cause this? I would not consider these attacks the traditional role of a druid. |
| 9324 Then you might end this! We have not experienced a Shadow Druid before; we are not strong enough to defeat her. I... I must go; she would harshly punish treachery. |
| 9325 Be wary, then. She began alone, but she has supporters. They will not talk or bargain. I must go. I cannot be seen like this. |
| 9326 I don't usually associate such remarks with druids. Cernd was right; there is something making you all more hostile. |
| 9327 Relax, relax, I just want to know what has happened here to turn the druids against everyone. |
| 9328 Relax, relax, I just want to know what has happened here to turn the druids against everyone. We don't often act like this. |
| 9329 Dalok, what is the meaning of this? |
| 9330 We are taking what is ours to retrieve, Cernd. We are stripping the invaders of the spoils they rape from the earth! We are doing what is right. |
| 9331 No, he would not, and that is why he is gone. We have a new leader, one that speaks the words we wish to hear. We have a leader in Faldorn, a Shadow Druid. |
| 9332 A Shadow Druid! They are perversions of our calling! |
| 9333 The perversion is thinking that civilization and nature can coexist. We have taken steps in the only way we can as protectors of the wood. Faldorn says... |
| 9334 Voice of the West |
| 9335 I will challenge her to the rituals of ascension! She may flout our way, but she must obey the rules set down ages ago. That is her hold over you, is it not? |
| 9336 Some obey out of fear, but I think her way is better. We fight for nature and take what we wish from the city fools. I will stop your feeble attempt to interfere, Cernd! |
| 9337 May the Earthmother forgive your sins against her children, but at least your deaths will feed the fauna and flora! |

| 9550 HUMANS: Humans are the predominant race in Faerûn. Humans rule most of the significant empires and kingdoms in the Forgotten Realms. They are the most social and tolerant of races, excepting perhaps the halflings. Humans may advance as any class and are also the only race that can dual-class. Humans may not multi-class. |
| 9551 DWARVES: Dwarves are short and stocky, easily identifiable by their size and shape. They have ruddy cheeks, dark eyes, and dark hair. Dwarves tend to be dour and taciturn. They are given to hard work, and care little for most humor. They enjoy beer, ale, mead, but most of all, they love gold. There are four racial divisions of dwarves within the realms: shield dwarves, gold dwarves, wild dwarves, and duergar. Dwarves have the following traits: – +2 bonus to Saving Throws vs. Paralysis/Poison/Death, vs. Rod/Staff/Wand, and vs. Spell, with additional bonuses based on Constitution. – Infravision. – +10% Open Locks, +15% Find Traps, +5% Detect Illusion, +10% Set Traps. – +1 Constitution, -1 Dexterity, -2 Charisma. |
| 9552 ELVES: Elves tend to be shorter and slimmer than humans. Their features are finely chiseled and delicate, and they speak in melodic tones. Elves are looked upon as being frivolous and aloof. They concern themselves with natural beauty, dancing, frolicking, and other similar pursuits. Their humor is clever, as are their songs and poetry. There are six racial divisions of elves within the realms: gold elves, moon elves, wild elves, sea elves, dark elves (drow), and winged elves (avariel). Elves have the following traits: – 90% resistance against charm and sleep magics. – Infravision. – +1 THAC0 bonus with bows, short swords, and long swords. – -5% Open Locks, +5% Pick Pockets, +5% Move Silently, +10% Hide in Shadows. – +1 Dexterity, -1 Constitution. |
| 9553 GNOMES: Kin to dwarves, gnomes are noticeably smaller than their distant cousins. Gnomes, as they proudly maintain, are also less rotund than dwarves. Most have dark tan or brown skin, white hair, and rather large noses. Gnomes have lively and sly senses of humor, especially for practical jokes. They have a love for nature that is only matched by their love for gems and jewelry. There are two racial divisions of gnomes within the realms: rock gnomes and deep gnomes (svirfneblin). Gnomes have the following traits: – +2 bonus to Saving Throws vs. Rod/Staff/Wand and vs. Spell, with additional bonuses based on Constitution. – Infravision. – +5% Open Locks, +10% Find Traps, +5% Move Silently, +5% Hide in Shadows, +10% Detect Illusion, +5% Set Traps. – +1 Intelligence, -1 Wisdom. |
| 9554 HALFLINGS: Halflings are short, generally plump people, very much like small humans. Their faces are round and broad, and often quite florid. Their hair is typically curly, and the tops of their feet are covered with coarse hair. Overall they prefer the comforts of home to dangerous adventuring. They enjoy good living, rough humor, and homespun tales. There are three racial divisions of halflings within the realms: the hairfoot, tallfellow, and stout. Halflings have the following traits: – +2 bonus to Saving Throws vs. Paralysis/Poison/Death, vs. Rod/Staff/Wand, and vs. Spell, with additional bonuses based on Constitution. – +1 THAC0 bonus with slings. – +5% Open Locks, +5% Find Traps, +5% Pick Pockets, +10% Move Silently, +15% Hide in Shadows. – +1 Dexterity, -1 Strength, -1 Wisdom. |
| 9555 HALF-ELVES: Half-elves are a mix of human and elven blood. They are handsome folk, with good features from each of their parent races. A half-elf has the curiosity, inventiveness, and ambition of their human ancestors and the refined senses, love of nature, and artistic tastes of their elven ancestors. Half-elves have the following traits: – 30% resistance against charm and sleep magics. – Infravision. – +10% Pick Pockets, +5% Hide in Shadows. |
| 9556 FIGHTER: The Fighter is a champion, swords<PRO_MANWOMAN>, soldier, and brawler who lives or dies by <PRO_HISHER> knowledge of weapons and tactics. Fighters can be found at the front of any battle, contesting toe-to-toe with monsters and villains. A good Fighter needs to be strong and healthy if <PRO_HESHE> hopes to survive.

| 9558 PALADIN: A Paladin is a warrior bold and pure, the exemplar of everything good and true. Like the Fighter, the Paladin is a person of action and combat. However, the Paladin lives for the ideals of righteousness, justice, honesty, piety, and chivalry and strives to be a living example of these virtues so that others may learn from <PRO_HIMHER> as well as gain by <PRO_HISHER> actions. CLASS FEATURES: – May wear helmets. – May wear any armor and use any weapon. – May not exceed Specialization (two slots) in any weapon class. – May achieve Specialization (two slots) in any fighting style and allocate three slots in Two-Weapon Style. – May use Lay On Hands ability once per day to heal a target for 2 Hit Points per level of the Paladin. – May cast Detect Evil once per day per level (starts at 1st level with 4 uses). – May cast Protection From Evil once per day per level (starts at 1st level with one use). – May Turn Undead as a Cleric two levels lower, starting at level 3. – May cast priest spells starting at level 9. – Receives a +2 bonus to all Saving Throws. – Alignment restricted to lawful good. – Hit Die: d10 |
| 9559 CLERIC: The Cleric is a generic priest (of any mythos) who tends to the spiritual needs of a community. Though <PRO_HESHE> is both protector and healer, <PRO_HESHE> is not purely defensiveâ€â€when evil threatens, the Cleric is well suited to seek it out on its own ground and destroy it. The opposite is true of evil Clerics as well, and there are also many variations in between. CLASS FEATURES: – May wear helmets. – May wear any armor. – May only use non-bladed, non-piercing weapons (war hammer, club, flail, mace, quarterstaff, sling). – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any weapon class. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any fighting style. – May Turn Undead. – May cast priest spells. – Hit Die: d8 Prime Requisites For Dual-Classing: Wisdom |
| 9560 DRUID: The Druid serves the cause of nature and neutrality; the wilderness is <PRO_HISHER> community, and <PRO_HESHE> uses <PRO_HISHER> special powers to protect it and to preserve balance in the world. CLASS FEATURES: – May only wear non-metallic armor. – May only equip bucklers and non-metallic shields. – May only use the following weapons: scimitar, dagger, club, spear, quarterstaff, dart, sling. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any weapon class. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any fighting style. – May cast druidic spells. – 7th level: May Shapeshift into a wolf, black bear, or brown bear once per day. – 15th level: Becomes immune to poison. – 18th level: Gains 10% resistance to cold, fire, electricity, and acid; gains a further 10% resistance at levels 21 and 24. – Alignment restricted to true neutral. – Hit Die: d8 Prime Requisites For Dual-Classing: Wisdom, Charisma |
| 9561 THIEF: To accomplish <PRO_HISHER> goals, for good or ill, the Thief is a skilled pilferer. Cunning, nimbleness, and stealth are <PRO_HISHER> hallmarks. Whether <PRO_HESHE> turns <PRO_HISHER> talent against innocent passersby and wealthy merchants or oppressors and monsters is a choice for the Thief to make. CLASS FEATURES: – May not wear armor heavier than studded leather. – May not equip shields larger than bucklers. – May only use the following weapons: long sword, short sword, katana, scimitar, dagger, club, quarterstaff, crossbow, shortbow, dart, sling. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any weapon class. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any fighting style. – May distribute 25 points per level (40 at level 1) in thieving abilities: Open Locks, Pick Pockets, Find Traps, Move Silently, Hide In Shadows, Detect Illusion, Set Traps. – Starts with base scores of 10% in Open Locks, 5% in Find Traps, 15% in Pick Pockets, 10% in Move Silently, and 5% in Hide in Shadows. – May backstab for increased damage: Level 1-4: x2 Level 5-8: x3 Level 9-12: x4 Level 13+: x5 – May use the Set Snare ability once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 5 levels thereafter. SET SNARE: Set a trap in the chosen location when no hostile creatures are in sight.

| 9562 BARD: The Bard is a rogue, but <PRO_HESHE> is very different from the Thief. The Bard's strength is <PRO_HISHER> pleasant and charming personality. With it and <PRO_HISHER> wits, <PRO_HESHE> makes <PRO_HISHER> way through the world. A Bard is a talented musician and a walking storehouse of gossip, tall tales, and lore; <PRO_HESHE> learns a little bit about everything that crosses <PRO_HISHER> path and is a jack-of-all-trades but master of none. While many Bards are scoundrels, their stories and songs are welcome almost everywhere. CLASS FEATURES: – May not wear armor heavier than chain mail. (Spells cannot be cast while wearing armor.) – May not equip shields larger than bucklers. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any weapon class. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any fighting style. – Thieving abilities: Pick Pockets. – Increased Lore score. – May cast arcane spells starting at 2nd level. – May use Bard Song ability. While active, the Bard Song has the following effects: Restore morale to its average value Remove Fear Protection From Fear – Alignment restricted to any neutral. – Hit Die: d6 |
| 9563 MAGE: The wizard strives to be a master of magical energies, shaping them and casting them as spells. To do so, <PRO_HESHE> studies strange tongues and obscure facts and devotes much of <PRO_HISHER> time to magical research. A wizard must rely on knowledge and wit to survive. Wizards are rarely seen adventuring without a retinue of fighters and men-at-arms. Because there are different types (or schools) of magic, there are different types of wizards. The Mage studies all types of magic and learns a wide variety of spells; <PRO_HISHER> broad range makes <PRO_HIMHER> well suited to the demands of adventuring. CLASS FEATURES: – May not wear any armor. – May only use the following weapons: dagger, quarterstaff, dart, sling. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any weapon class. – May not place any slots in any fighting style. – May cast arcane spells. – Hit Die: d4 Prime Requisites For Dual-Classing: Intelligence |

| 9602 You are to choose your alignment. Your alignment will determine how your character should interact with <PRO_HISHER> environment. Read over each carefully before choosing. If you stray severely from your alignment during the course of the game, there will be consequences. |
| 9603 LAWFUL GOOD: Characters of this alignment believe that an orderly, strong society with a well-organized government can work to make life better for the majority of the people. To ensure the quality of life, laws must be created and obeyed. When people respect the laws and try to help one another, society as a whole prospers. Therefore, lawful good characters strive for those things that will bring the greatest benefit to the most people and cause the least harm. An honest and hard-working serf, a kindly and wise king, or a stern but forthright minister of justice are all examples of lawful good people. |
| 9604 LAWFUL NEUTRAL: Order and organization are of paramount importance to characters of this alignment. They believe in a strong, well-ordered government, whether that government is a tyranny or a benevolent democracy. The benefits of organization and regimentation outweigh any moral questions raised by their actions. An inquisitor determined to ferret out traitors at any cost or a soldier who never questions his orders are good examples of lawful neutral behavior. |
| 9605 LAWFUL EVIL: These characters believe in using society and its laws to benefit themselves. Structure and organization elevate those who deserve to rule as well as provide a clearly defined hierarchy between master and servant. To this end, lawful evil characters support laws and societies that protect their own concerns. If someone is hurt or suffers because of a law that benefits lawful evil characters, too bad. Lawful evil characters obey laws out of fear of punishment. Because they may be forced to honor an unfavorable contract or oath they have made, lawful evil characters are usually very careful about giving their word. Once given, they break their word only if they can find a way to do it legally, within the laws of the society. An iron-fisted tyrant and a devious, greedy merchant are examples of lawful evil beings. |
| 9606 NEUTRAL GOOD: These characters believe that a balance of forces is important, but that the concerns of law and chaos do not moderate the need for good. Since the universe is vast and contains many creatures striving for different goals, a determined pursuit of good will not upset the balance; it may even maintain it. If fostering good means supporting organized society, then that is what must be done. If good can only come about through the overthrow of existing social order, so be it. Social structure itself has no innate value to them. A baron who violates the orders of his king to destroy something he sees as evil is an example of a neutral good character. |
| 9607 NEUTRAL EVIL: Neutral evil characters are primarily concerned with themselves and their own advancement. They have no particular objection to working with others or, for that matter, going it on their own. Their only interest is in getting ahead. If there is a quick and easy way to gain a profit, whether it be legal, questionable, or obviously illegal, they take advantage of it. Although neutral evil characters do not have the every-man-for-himself attitude of chaotic characters, they have no qualms about betraying their friends and companions for personal gain. They typically base their allegiance on power and money, which makes them quite receptive to bribes. An unscrupulous mercenary, a common thief, and a double-crossing informer who betrays people to the authorities to protect and advance himself are typical examples of neutral evil characters. |
| 9608 NEUTRAL: True neutral characters believe in the ultimate balance of forces, and they refuse to see actions as either good or evil. Since the majority of people in the world make judgments, true neutral characters are extremely rare. True neutrals do their best to avoid siding with the forces of either good or evil, law or chaos. It is their duty to see that all of these forces remain in balanced contention. True neutral characters sometimes find themselves forced into rather peculiar alliances. To a great extent, they are compelled to side with the underdog in any given situation, sometimes even changing sides as the previous loser becomes the winner. A true neutral druid might join the local barony to put down a tribe of evil gnolls, only to drop out or switch sides when the gnolls were brought to the brink of destruction. He would seek to prevent either side from becoming too powerful. Clearly, there are very few true neutral characters in the world. |
| 9609 CHAOTIC GOOD: Chaotic good characters are strong individualists marked by a streak of kindness and benevolence. They believe in all the virtues of goodness and right, but they have little use for laws and regulations. They have no use for people who "try to push folk around and tell them what to do." Their actions are guided by their own moral compass which, although good, may not always be in perfect agreement with the rest of society. A brave frontiersman forever moving on as settlers follow in his wake is an example of a chaotic good character. |
| 9610 CHAOTIC NEUTRAL: Chaotic neutral characters believe that there is no order to anything, including their own actions. With this as a guiding principle, they tend to follow whatever whim strikes them at the moment. Good and evil are irrelevant when making a decision. Chaotic neutral characters are extremely difficult to deal with. Such characters have been known to cheerfully and for no apparent purpose gamble away everything they have on the roll of a single die. They are almost totally unreliable. In fact, the only reliable thing about them is that they cannot be relied upon! This alignment is perhaps the most difficult to play. Lunatics and madmen tend toward chaotic neutral behavior. |
| 9611 CHAOTIC EVIL: These characters are the bane of all that is good and organized. Chaotic evil characters are motivated by the desire for personal gain and pleasure. They see absolutely nothing wrong with taking whatever they want by whatever means possible. Laws and governments are the tools of weaklings unable to fend for themselves. The strong have the right to take what they want, and the weak are there to be exploited. When chaotic evil characters band together, they are not motivated by a desire to cooperate, but rather to oppose powerful enemies. Such a group can be held together only by a strong leader capable of bullying his underlings into obedience. Since leadership is based on raw power, a leader is likely to be replaced at the first sign of weakness by anyone who can take his position away from him by any method. Bloodthirsty buccaneers and monsters of low Intelligence are fine examples of chaotic evil personalities. |
| 9612 Reader |
| 9613 Death to the enemies of nature! In Faldorn's name, we cleanse the earth of you! All will fear where Shadow Druids tread! |
| 9614 Mmm? |
| 9615 You are not the only one with access to resurrection magic. Best you watch your back; there is no telling whom you might meet that you may have fought before. |
| 9616 I am stronger than ever with the aid of this grove. No harm can come to me here. Such bonding rituals are frowned upon as they draw energy from the earth itself, but the Mother feeds me that I might fight for her! |
| 9617 Denkod |
| 9618 Denkod |
| 9619 The rituals of ascension still rule here. Cernd will challenge you for leadership. |
| 9620 The rituals still govern this place! As a druid, it is Jaheira's right to challenge you! |
| 9621 The rituals of ascension still stand! I challenge you for leadership! Such is my right! |
| 9622 I will fight you. I will fight all of you! |
| 9623 Perhaps we could make a deal? A bargain for the lives of those in Trademeet? |
| 9624 Not at all? There must be some planning in place eventually. What happens when age begins to take you? Even I know it will happen eventually. |
| 9625 Why are you so withdrawn, <CHARNAME>? You've not said more than three words the last half day. |
| 9626 I'm not withdrawn... it's just you, Viconia. It's your fault. |
| 9627 Brennan Risling |
| 9628 Brennan Risling |
| 9629 Bitter experience has taught me not to make fast friends with my companions. |
| 9630 It's troubling to see your brow knit with worry, <CHARNAME>. |
| 9631 I must say, in the time that I've traveled with you, you've proven yourself to be a person with your heart in the right place. I salute you and reaffirm that I shall always stand by you while you stay on this path. |
| 9632 It's not so much worry as it is... uncertainty. I'd just rather leave it alone. |
| 9633 I appreciate your concern, Viconia, but not to bother. |
| 9634 Why, thank you, Mazzy. It is nice to know that I am appreciated. |
| 9635 My fault? Fine then! Consider me silent, strong and insipid one. Feel free and clear to explain this anytime the spirit moves you! |
| 9636 What makes you think that your opinion is important to me? Keep it to yourself. |
| 9637 I've lost trusted allies, lovers, friends... we've all suffered through the grief and loss, <CHARNAME>. All of us here have endured staggering pain. |
| 9638 That doesn't make it any easier, Viconia. |
| 9639 I merely speak the words that beg voicing. You deserve my support. |
| 9640 This confusion and angst I'm feeling here is still your fault, Viconia. |
| 9641 It seems that I have been proven wrong mere seconds after I've spoken. Perhaps you do not deserve my support. I shall have to consider my place in this party. |
| 9642 Mage Robe |
| 9643 Is there something there inside you that belies more than the cursory social obligations? Something more intimate? |
| 9644 Perhaps, Viconia. I've got needs past the ones for hearth and home, you know. |
| 9645 I don't know about that, Viconia. I've got my doubts. |
| 9646 Without a doubt, you are the most noble person I've ever met. Your good deeds shall be lauded always, and I am proud to serve beneath you. Bravo! You are an inspiration to me. |
| 9649 The drow summoning ritual An imp claiming to come from the silver dragon appeared, telling me that the eggs must be rescued before the ritual is completed and the eggs are sacrificed to the demon. The ritual will have to be stopped... and then the Matron Ardulace must be killed to lift the magical seal off the city. Once that is done, I will have only minutes to flee the city with the eggs before my disguise is discovered. Cutting it close, indeed. |
| 9650 The drow have superb tactile sense, <CHARNAME>. We feel blood flowing, rushing through passages and caverns... thrilling with the right company. |

| 9656 Your shyness is quite charming, <CHARNAME>, but I speak with clarity gleaned from experience. |
| 9657 If you must chatter with small talk, Viconia, do it with our other companions. |
| 9658 I had little choice in the beginning, Viconia. |
| 9659 I said not to... |
| 9660 I believe I was speaking to the gentleman. Now, sir, she is a lady of the battlefield, so a commemorative blade possibly? No! I have the perfect thing! |
| 9661 Does colnbluth mean outsiders? I thought you didn't like the qualities of any non-drow. |
| 9662 I don't know where you're going with this, but knock it off. I'm not interested. |
| 9663 That is the type of man I am. |
| 9664 Well, if it is my "chatter" that bothers you, I shall leave you in quiet then, so you may exercise what little gray matter remains within your skull. |
| 9666 Sugar |
| 9667 Sugar |
| 9668 <CHARNAME>? The name of a man that knows his heart, but who perhaps has troubles warming the lady's heart. By no fault of your own, of course! Perhaps a gift? |
| 9669 ...Thank you, Keldorn. My love. So... So you will stay? |
| 9670 Perhaps so, but you dealt with Sarevok long ago, didn't you? What impelled you to continue your travels? No doubt the citizens of Baldur's Gate welcomed you. |
| 9671 Enough chatter. I'd rather not talk about that. |
| 9672 I'm not ready to settle... I still have questions that must be answered. |
| 9673 I might have stayed, but Baldur's Gate probably wasn't right for me. |
| 9674 A locket to carry an endearing portrait! A minor magic will instantly implant a likeness of the lady. A mere 20 gold, that you might but glance at my other items. |
| 9675 Fine, I'll take it. |
| 9676 Faldorn bonded with the grove, so the land suffers. I will be a surrogate until the proper rituals are performed. It is distasteful, but vital until balance returns. |
| 9678 The evil of that altar has been destroyed. Some of Amaunator's golden coloring can now be seen beneath the filth of the Shade Lord. |
| 9679 The altar has been cleaned and inscribed by Mazzy. It now stands as a monument to her brave companions, who gave their lives in an attempt to defeat the Shade Lord. |
| 9680 The machine in the center of the room looks dangerous. Perhaps there is some sort of control device that will allow you to turn it off. |
| 9681 As you peer into the pool, a void opens and icy tendrils pull at your awareness, demanding that you submit. In horror, you look away and the tendrils recede. The pool is calm. |
| 9682 Inside the asylum I have encountered the coordinator of Spellhold. He seems rather friendly enough and has agreed to give a tour as well as bring me to Imoen, who he implies is not ready to leave this place of "healing." I intend to judge for myself. |

| 9686 This is one half of a unique-looking metal rod. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 9687 Who's your daddy?! |
| 9688 This is one half of a unique-looking metal rod. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 9689 This is the first part of the Rift Device Rod. This section of the rod is highly coveted by the Unseeing Eye. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 9690 I believe the lady said she didn't want anything. |
| 9691 Yes, I have noticed the type of man that you are. Intense, determined, strong... all the qualities that I have grown to like most in colnbluth exist in you. |
| 9692 I would like to get it, but I won't pay 20 gold. |
| 9693 Yes... You have a god's restless blood, a wondrous heritage. Chaos fills your life from one moment to the next, stirred by your potency. |
| 9695 <CHARNAME>! You do not need to... |
| 9696 Oh, no refunds at that price. The enchantment has already given it your faces when you handled it. But return to see my other wares, and I'll see what I can do. |
| 9697 I believe he said he was talking to me, Jaheira. Shush yourself and take the gift. |
| 9698 Well, I suppose not. If you are sure you do not want it. |
| 9699 It is not by choice that my life is filled with chaos. |
| 9700 Yes, I've grown rather fond of it. Few men have my advantages. |
| 9701 Then I shall give it to you! A sign of friendship becomes your sign of caring. Just return to see my other items. |
| 9702 I don't want to talk about this, Viconia. Chatter with someone else. |
| 9703 Nalia abducted by Isaea Roenall I approached Corgeig, Isaea's superior in the government building, but without evidence, he considers the matter pretty much my word against Isaea's and will not consider any arguments from me until I have concrete evidence of Isaea's wrongdoing. |
| 9704 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills Anath's dying words said to use a glass to gather "what light is left" to avenge her pack. A hint, perhaps, to use something remaining from the old temple of Amaunator? |
| 9705 Inside the planar sphere I have encountered and defeated Lavok, only to discover that an evil force had inhabited his body. The dying Lavok is once again himself, openly regretful of his evil past, and is not at all what Valygar was expecting. The necromancer wishes nothing more than to die under the skies of Faerûn. He said that when the sphere is entered, it automatically travels between the planes as a self-defense measure. To get back home, I have to go outside and find the heart of a demon, and then place it in the great golem that powers the sphere. While I hunt, Lavok will set the machine so that it will return to Faerûn. There is no other way home. |
| 9706 Sorrel |
| 9707 Sorrel |
| 9708 True for the most part, but I look upon you and I see great drive and determination. This is something the elven folk do not possess. |
| 9709 Our long lives are static; we feel no urgency. Despite appearance, we become complacent. If the drow had your drive... it would be a Second Age of conquest! |
| 9710 Well said, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! Some of us are reluctant to accept affections. A little encouragement is all that is needed. Now please return to see my other wares, will you? |
| 9711 Thank you then. I will be back. |
| 9712 No, I don't think that's likely. |
| 9713 You need something? |
| 9714 Oh, you will fight, and you will run. I cannot be harmed outside a ritual of ascension, and only another druid can enter such a contest. Trademeet will fall! |
| 9715 Return if you wish to try again. I welcome your ramblings with great amusement. |
| 9716 A day has passed, and still we have not confronted Sir William about his crimes. <CHARNAME>, we must make haste to the Mithrest in the Promenade District. I cannot live like this for long. |
| 9717 I have been thinking, and I think that I may have been exceedingly harsh in my treatment of you once again. |
| 9718 You treat everyone else like dirt. Why should I be any different? |
| 9719 Don't worry about it, Viconia. |
| 9720 May have? Don't make me laugh. You're a bitch, plain and simple. Now get lost. |
| 9721 Understand, <CHARNAME>, I have not been on the surface for all that long. Sometimes I forget that things here are different from the world I once knew. |
| 9722 I have toyed with your feelings unfairly, placing you down with the other males I have known... and you have not been like them. It was... wrong of me. |
| 9723 I am sick of you running hot and cold all the time. Just leave me alone and I'll be happy! |
| 9724 Eating crow again, eh? I could get to like this. |
| 9725 I... guess it's understandable. Don't worry about it. |
| 9726 I try to apologize and you treat me thus? Limp coward, you... are not worthy of my concern. I shall remain silent then. I leave you to your dismal existence. |
| 9727 Limp coward, you... you are not worthy of my concern. I shall remain silent then. I leave you to your pathetic existence. |
| 9728 You sting me, but I shall let it pass. I enjoy seeing anger in you... it shows promise. We drow make few apologies for the way we are, and I make no promises. |
| 9729 But before I retch out of pure disgust, let us just continue on our way. |
| 9730 What, no hatred or righteous indignation? Such meekness is pathetic and weak, <CHARNAME>. If you showed anger, I would expect such and accept it. |
| 9731 This... acceptance of yours is much more difficult to take. But I suppose I should be grateful for it. |
| 9732 Not now... Tell me some other time, perhaps. |
| 9733 It was difficult, if you can imagine. I knew only a few words of Common, and as I traveled, I carefully avoided any contact with the surfacers. |
| 9734 The land was strange, and each day I huddled under the terrible open sky, sure that I would be pulled into the vastness of it if I but closed my eyes for an instant. |
| 9735 Lolth had abandoned me, and I was alone in a strange world. Those rivvin who saw me hounded me with abandon, and I fled to the forests. |
| 9736 Ain't got time to talk to ye. If'n you want to have somethin' buried, you go get the permits and such. Beat it. |
| 9737 There I was hunted by the darthiir... surface elves... and their honed hatred drove me further. I was sure I would perish, never to see the Underdark again. |
| 9738 Finding Irenicus in Hell I encountered a demon that seemed to perform some sort of test of character. It explained that there are two paths to a Tear of Bhaal... and both are paths of fear. It offered me a cloak of nymph's skin to protect me from the fear, saying the path would be easier, and I have accepted it. Now I shall have to see whether the demon lies or not. |
| 9739 Beset by a Harper today. Made short work of him. |
| 9740 You got business here, or you just like walkin' on the graves? |
| 9741 What happened next? |
| 9742 You've a flair for melodrama, Viconia. But I'm losing interest... tell it to someone else. |
| 9743 Just taking a stroll. Didn't mean to bother you. |
| 9744 Spell Failed: Indoors |
| 9745 Busy day for you? Find yourself a little rushed? |
| 9746 Animate Dead (Necromancy) Level: 3 Sphere: Necromantic Range: 30 ft. Duration: 8 hours Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell causes a skeleton warrior to rise and serve the caster under any conditions.

This spell cannot be dispelled. |
| 9747 What in all the Hells is going on here?! I demand answers! |
| 9748 Again I am brushed off by your moody silence. Set a signal fire then, to let me know when you are available for simple discourse. I wait with baited breath. |
| 9749 As you wish. |
| 9751 'At's all right then. You just watch your step and such. |
| 9752 Hey, you look like you're a bit important. Like you're a bit tough and such. You got any... ah... special things you need taken care of? |
| 9753 A group of golnâ€â€you call them goblinsâ€â€tried to seal my fate, but a human merchant came in his caravan, and his guards scattered them. |
| 9754 What are you suggesting? Something against the law? |
| 9755 Like perhaps burying people alive? Are you paid well for this service? |
| 9756 I will play this game no longer! I know what you have been doing! |
| 9757 A little. Why you ask that, friend? |
| 9758 Have I ever told you about how I survived when I first fled to the surface? |
| 9759 No, you haven't. |
| 9760 I'm not interested in another one of your stories, Viconia. |
| 9761 Thought you might have cut a few corners, like burying a man alive! |
| 9762 No reason, really. Just making small talk. Nice day for a stroll. |
| 9763 No, no, forget I said anything. Good day to you, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 9764 Good day. |
| 9765 I know what you are up to here! |
| 9766 I don't know what you are talkin'... I... I ain't done anything wrong! I'm just a simple gravekeeper. Ain't no crime here! |
| 9767 Yeah, yeah, pretty goo... I mean... No! No, nothing like that here! |
| 9768 Don't toy with me! I'll plant you in one of your own graves! |
| 9769 Well, perhaps we should let the guards determine that. I'll go find some. |
| 9770 Oooh, this is getting complicated! I didn't do anything! Almost nothing! He would have killed me if I hadn't helped! |
| 9771 Uncle Lester |
| 9772 Tell me everything about the man that was buried alive! |
| 9773 If I am not there in two days' time, then I am dead at Sir William's hand. I pray you feel the blessings of the gods as much as I have felt their curse... Goodbye, my friend. |
| 9774 Tell me... has there ever been anyone special to you? A thief of your heart? |
| 9775 If there were, I certainly wouldn't tell you, Viconia. |
| 9776 I don't know. Not so far there hasn't been. |
| 9777 Never a special one who awaited her hero's return? The idea has value. I myself hope to retire to a home that doesn't change by the day. |
| 9778 I doubt a self-centered drow such as yourself would ever be satisfied with the quiet life. |
| 9779 I said that there was nobody, and I meant it. |
| 9780 I see. So such dreams are the sole property of spent poets like you? A drow cannot aspire to the same? I don't know why I bother with you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 9781 No? Is it not possible then? Could she exist: a woman who makes your pulse quicken by her closeness... who enflames you by a mere glance? |
| 9782 I suppose I could admit that such a woman could exist, yes. |
| 9783 I think the answer to that question is playing itself out as we speak. |
| 9784 You think so? I cannot wait for the final act of this play, then... I am sure it will be worth waiting for. |
| 9785 Oh, it will not disappoint, I'm sure. I've rehearsed the scene in my mind time and time again. |
| 9786 When the heart beats true, its song is a delight to hear. |
| 9787 Your heart is heavy with lust and burning desire, and beats proudly and strongly... but shall it be mine, or is it another's? |
| 9788 It is yours certainly, Viconia. But do be gentle with it. |
| 9789 *chuckle* All right, my heart is not your plaything just yet, so let's move on, shall we? |
| 9790 Let's continue holding your heart and testing its mettle, but with a measure of restraint then. |
| 9791 I have little interest in restraint... Only bold and forthright action matter in times such as these. |
| 9792 Perfect. I would appreciate seeing some restraint in you for once. |
| 9793 May I presume, then, that you know why I am here? |
| 9794 I'm surprised, <CHARNAME>. I expected so much more from a dynamic firebrand like yourself. |
| 9795 There is all manner of mad and chaotic trouble that such unbridled enthusiasm could get us into, <CHARNAME>. |
| 9796 I would have thought you'd appreciate a little enthusiasm. |
| 9797 You are steering this conversation into dangerous territory, Viconia... exactly what do you intend? |
| 9798 I'd be curious to see you navigate truly dangerous territory with your impulsiveness, <CHARNAME>. It would be an enthralling journey, don't you think? |
| 9799 M'lord Keldorn... I was hoping you would come. |
| 9800 We got a gusher! |
| 9801 I was a husband to your wife and a father to your children, if that is what you mean. |
| 9802 M'lady Maria has but one husband, and it is I... As for Vesper and Leona, how dare you defile them with your presence! |
| 9803 They yearn for a fatherâ€â€any father... even an imposter off the street in your stead! Be to them in your compassion what you are to them in blood, Keldorn. |
| 9804 What was life like before you were an adventurer? Didn't it seem simpler, less complicated? |
| 9805 What do you mean? |
| 9806 It did, didn't it? |
| 9807 So says the viper who will sleep in my bed, running his wretched fingers through the spun gold that is her hair? What do you wish, Sir William? To have a child that is not even yours? |
| 9808 Didn't it seem simpler, easier in flavor? There were less entanglements, far less chaos. We weren't always exploring some dank, ruined place. |
| 9809 I'm not in the mood to discuss such trivialities. |
| 9810 I would settle down if I had the choice, yes. |
| 9811 When aren't you in a mood of some gravity? I tire of your petty travails. |
| 9812 It would be nice, wouldn't it, <CHARNAME>? To leave the insidious schemes and psychopathic madmen for others to battle and prevail over? |
| 9813 You could leave this wretched excuse for a life anytime, Viconia. |
| 9814 I suppose that would be something to think about. There are many things about this life I would like to leave behind. |
| 9815 That is an offer worth bearing witness to. It merits serious consideration, <CHARNAME>. |
| 9816 But one must think about it carefully, Viconia. |
| 9817 I would think so, Viconia. I trust your wisdom more than most. |
| 9818 But what would we fill the days with? Adventuring is compelling, full of enticing treasures, untold exotica, and raging battles. |
| 9819 I will definitely consider its value and place in my life, <CHARNAME>. I appreciate your words of friendship as well... it is not words I am familiar with. |
| 9820 Certainly, but with that comes pain and a rootless existence. |
| 9821 True, but I think I could pull back a little on the excitement for the sake of some security. |
| 9822 Hey, kid, the world is full of disillusionment. Live with it. |
| 9823 You're right. Don't worry, we'll stop her. |
| 9824 I wouldn't mind changing the definition of our friendship. |
| 9825 I sense that you're a good person, Viconia. Someone not unlike most of us. |
| 9826 But doing so would mean never returning to the other path. Something to ponder over, I think. |
| 9827 Hmph! Unlikelyâ€â€I have been a spent wick for many years. We sought some beauty in the midst of all her pain. I wish I could say you would have done the same. |
| 9828 Hmm... I am wondering this: Do you ever entertain the notion of marriage? |
| 9829 Of course I have. Who doesn't? |
| 9830 Not really, no. I've got other things to think about. |
| 9831 What am I to do with you? You show no remorse, yet at the same time, you are so devoid of malice. What am I to do at all? |
| 9832 Lady Maria loves you deeply, but without expression, love withers and dies. I was but a single drop of moisture; you are the oasis for which she searches. Love her, and I will be but wind-borne dust. |
| 9833 To commit to one person in all manner? It seems a bizarre internment to me, tantamount to slavery. |
| 9834 You obviously don't understand the nature of marriage. |
| 9835 That's not necessarily true, Viconia. Marriage can be a splendid union. |
| 9836 Variety is the spice of life. The drudgery of having the same partner... it would have to be a unique and special person, indeed. |
| 9837 You wish marriage redefined to suit your flagrantly wanton ways, I suppose? |
| 9838 Marriage can be a wonderful thing, Viconia. |
| 9839 At least my needs are honest and forthright. I do not hide behind shallow affectations and self-deception, <CHARNAME>! |
| 9840 I make no bargains. Flee; you can do nothing. Only another druid might disrupt my plans, and even then they would have to defeat me in personal combat. |
| 9841 From what I have seen, surface custom is not so different from ours. Of course, drow culture allows for "husbands" to be disposed of and replaced. |
| 9842 Are you saying that the drow women actually kill their husbands? |
| 9843 I take it that you dislike our form of marriage, then? |
| 9844 I caught them together and bound them where they lay. I soaked them in lamp oil and flammable moss and set them ablaze. |
| 9845 Certainly you did not have to be so cruel, did you? |
| 9846 I assume drow custom dictated that you had to kill your sister and husband. |
| 9847 Perhaps. I haven't devoted much thought to it, though I've noticed that the role of male and female are reversed here on the surface. |
| 9848 They aren't reversed, Viconia. Men don't murder their wives. |
| 9849 Any man who gains your affection is one who would do well to watch his back. |
| 9850 Well, what have we here? Some fool come to stop the righteous force of nature? Laughable. Say what you must and then we shall purge the earth of your filth. |
| 9851 So you say. We should continue now; I am sure you have heard enough of drow customs. |
| 9852 Calm down, Jaheira. This isn't making any sense. |
| 9853 Are you asking for my forgiveness? |
| 9854 You are doing a fine job of tormenting yourself. Why ask me to help? |
| 9855 Don't fluster yourself with lurid daydreams, <CHARNAME>. |
| 9856 apply |

| 9866 Why are druids attacking all who enter the wood? This is not the role of the druid! |

| 9868 Cernd would know what has changed here, and why you rule as you do. |
| 9869 I have been thinking about the divinity that flows through your veins... |
| 9871 Ask what you will of me about the keys, and I shall give you what answers you are worthy of. Some questions I may not answer. |
| 9872 Can you tell me about this ring? |
| 9873 Entillis Fulsom |
| 9874 Entillis Fulsom |
| 9875 I once believed that with age would come wisdom, but every day I seem to doubt it more... Much as it pains me to admit it, Sir William is right. It is time I spoke with my wife. |

| 9918 There's a WHAT in their chicken? A farmer named Jeb told me that the Hendricks... fellow farmers who have fled from the outlying lands into Imnesvale... may have put something down the gullets of one of their chickens, something that their adventuring daughter brought home with her before she died. Considering the Hendricks went through that much effort to hide it, it may be something quite valuable. |
| 9919 Inside the planar sphere Reyna, one of the Knights of Solamnia, warned of strange, ravenous, halfling-like creatures west of where they are. According to Reyna, the knights were barely able to fight their way out of a trap these creatures had set. |
| 9920 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Lord de'Arnise's bodyguard, Glaicus, was charmed into serving the invaders, but I charmed him back to normalcy. He informed me that the leader of the trolls is named TorGal and that before he was captured, Lord de'Arnise was trying to gather three heads of a magical flail that had been disassembled. It would prove a very effective weapon against trolls with its powers of fire and acid. Glaicus gave me one of the heads and said that another might be in a secret panel behind the armory on the first floor. |

| 9932 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills I have solved the riddles of the rituals, and the statue has given me a gem which it called a symbol of Amaunator, saying I would require it and its brothers to open the door to the Lair of the Dark One. |
| 9933 Does it fire your ambitions, <CHARNAME>? Is there a lust within you superseding mere passion, a desire to lord over others as a conqueror and superior? |

| 9938 Please, disregard the things I said to you earlier. They were... ill-conceived. You... you are not drow and not worthy of such insults. |
| 9939 Why should I? You have crossed the line once too often! |
| 9940 Very well. Apology accepted. |
| 9941 That is true. I have indeed. |
| 9942 Well, I have no need of it. Just leave me alone, will you? |
| 9943 *sigh* Fine. Let's just continue on. |
| 9944 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. I shall attempt to be more guarded with my thoughts in the future. |
| 9945 If that is what you wish, then fine. You shall hear no more from me. |
| 9946 Enough, Viconia. This is a topic I am not interested in pursuing at the moment. |
| 9947 I understand what you mean by this. Many of those who dwell upon the surface seem to live without giving much thought about the gods. |
| 9948 There is another with us that could challenge you according to the old rituals. A druid called <PLAYER2>. |
| 9949 Before we come with you, perhaps you better explain all of this skulking around. |
| 9950 Sorry, we don't like the sounds of this. You'll have to leave. |
| 9951 All right, but this better be quick. |

| 9956 It is very different in the Underdark; Lolth involves herself everywhere. Like a glutton, she reserves all worship for herself and outlaws the other drow gods. |
| 9957 I have been told a little about this "Bhaal" of yours, but I am unfamiliar with him. Among the drow, we are taught nothing of other gods, and little enough about our own gods beyond Lolth. |
| 9958 Sounds like something you should talk to the Grand Dukes about. Sorry, we can't help you. |
| 9959 100 gold each! We're hired. |
| 9960 Well, I wouldn't call Bhaal "mine," exactly. |
| 9961 The drow have other gods besides Lolth? |
| 9962 You can't just let him talk you out of it like that! We came here ready for a fight. |
| 9964 There are other drow gods? |
| 9965 You speak often of the Underdark... do you miss it at all? |
| 9966 Well, we're leaving. |
| 9967 Then we might as well go see why your partners are lying. |
| 9968 I think we should go to see the commander of your guard. It's time we deal with the impostors. |
| 9969 They deserve to die. Let's kill them. |
| 9970 We should confront them with the information and see what happens. |
| 9971 Let's escape from this madhouse. |
| 9972 Let's go then. |
| 9973 Uhhh, weren't you telling us just a few moments ago that it wasn't your anniversary? That it was just a lie? |
| 9974 I guess we'll come with you. |
| 9975 Sorry, you can go on your own. |
| 9976 Idle hands in Imnesvale Well, I didn't get the three kids in Imnesvale what they'd asked for. I don't need the grief I would get from their parents. I gave their money back, just to be fair. |
| 9977 Idle hands in Imnesvale I stumbled across the three kids from Imnesvale for whom I bought the ale. They were drunk and passed out in a cave outside the village. I wonder how long they've been missing for? No doubt that keg's going to last them a while, heh... |
| 9978 Inside the drow city I have returned to the city to meet Solaufein, where we were told by Imrae that we had done well. She also informed us that we were to report to the drow tavern within a day to meet Phaere once again... to be rewarded, apparently. |
| 9979 Investigate activities in the Copper Coronet's rooms After refusing to help Hendak in the Copper Coronet, I reported the incident to Lehtinan, the proprietor. He hired me to kill Hendak as an example, which I did. Part of Lehtinan's reward is cheaper prices from Bernard, his clerk. |
| 9980 Finding Irenicus in Hell I encountered a demon that seemed to perform some kind of test of character. It explained that there are two paths to a Tear of Bhaal... and both are paths of fear. It offered me a cloak of nymph's skin to protect me from the fear, saying the path would be easier. I attacked the demon and it fled, taking the cloak with it. I suppose I shall have to gain the Tear with my own power. |
| 9981 Yes, gods like Ghaunadaur and Vhaeraun hold some power, but Lolth is the strongest by far and forbids even their mention. |
| 9982 Getting inside the asylum It seems that Desharik has a very good relationship with the wizards of the asylum, and now that he knows I plan on rescuing a patient, there is no way he will allow me to enter. More than that, he has gone off to warn the wizards of my intentions. I will have to find another way in, if it is not already too late. |
| 9983 They had nothing worth our time! Better that we scare them a bit and let them pass! |
| 9984 This reign of terror stops here! You'll be long since dead 'fore you take me alive! |
| 9985 No more bloodshed! Stay your swords and I'll come peacefully! |
| 9986 Inside the drow city I have performed more than a few tasks for the drow, and have instilled enough trust that I am now to meet Matron Mother Ardulace of House Despana personally. In drow terms, this means that I have gained the favor of this House... and that can only help me get ever closer to what I seek. I am to meet Phaere, the Matron's daughter, at the temple of Lolth without much delay. |
| 9987 Mage |
| 9988 Such things are private matters. I will look for you at the guild house when you are done. |

| 9990 This amulet can be activated by a simple command word and a touch, with each use acting as one charge. The effect is a duplication of the 1st-level wizard spell Shield.

| 9998 Riddle of the imps A couple of imps have indicated that one of the six chests here is locked and has something inside that will steal my soul... unless they protect me from it. They will only do that if I solve their riddle. I have to match up the items that the illusionary figures give me to the ones they belong to, putting their item in the chest behind them. Then I have to go talk to the imps. When I'm right... well, I assume they'll tell me. |
| 10004 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Meck has come to fetch me already, saying that there is something going on at the playhouse which requires my attention. |
| 10005 Running the Five Flagons playhouse The play was an absolute success! I did well enough, considering I had little notice to play the lead, and the rest of the troupe lived up to their promise and made the whole thing a smash! Curse be damned, the play will continue on to make this playhouse well-established in Athkatla. There is a bright future ahead for it! |

| 10010 Recover the silver dragon's eggs I have returned Adalon's eggs to her, and she rewarded me with the magic item as well as brought me to the surface. She says she does not intend to continue her duties guarding a peace that does not exist... and after she serves selective vengeance upon the drow, she will likely leave this place forever. I doubt we will meet again. |
| 10013 Your weapon is unsuitable for backstab. |

| 10015 We have the hard evidence right here. |
| 10016 If you give us a chance, we'll find the hard evidence that you need. |
| 10017 Let's kill the bastards. |
| 10018 Let's confront them with the information we have. |
| 10019 Uh oh. Let's get as far from here as possible! |
| 10020 If we confront them, it'll give them a chance to prepare. We should strike now and strike hard. |
| 10021 All right, we'll go along with you. |
| 10022 Fine, we'll go with you... for now. |
| 10023 Sorry, we are out of here. |
| 10024 Okay. |
| 10025 But what about Zorl and Irlentree? We have to do something about them. |
| 10026 Ah, no thanks, you can go without us. |
| 10027 Okay, let's go. |

| 10030 Traveler's Robe |
| 10031 These are a common sight in the Sword Coast region, especially as one travels north towards Neverwinter and the Icewind Dales. Many young mages receive it as a gift from their instructors upon successfully completing their first five years of study. As with other such robes, they can only be worn by those of the wizardly profession. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Cold Resistance: +20% Weight: 3 |
| 10032 Due to the extremely volatile nature of most magics, Mage Robes of Fire Resistance are not uncommon among young acolytes and their wizardly tutors. As with other such robes, they cannot be worn except by wizards. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Fire Resistance: +20% Weight: 3 |
| 10033 While seen with less frequency than some other mage robes, those of Electrical Resistance can hardly be considered a rarity. Some are worn by paranoiacs seeking protection from a ragged mountain storm, but many more are worn by mages seeking to protect themselves from the intrigues of others of their kind. As with all such robes, a Mage Robe of Electrical Resistance can only be worn by those of the wizardly profession. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Electrical Resistance: +20% Weight: 3 |
| 10034 A favorite among Mage/Thieves, the Knave's Robe has been enchanted to shield its wearer from the blades and poisons of any darkened alley. As with others of its type, however, its use is restricted to students of the arcane. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +1 vs. slashing attacks – Save vs. Death: +1 Weight: 4 |
| 10035 This mage robe has been perfected for use by any rambling, itinerant mage that travels from town to town.

As with other robes of its kind, the Traveler's Robe can only be worn by wizards. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +1 vs. missile attacks – Save vs. Breath: +1 Weight: 4 |
| 10036 This robe has been specially enchanted to meet the eclectic needs of the adventuring mage.

As with other such robes, the Adventurer's Robe can only be worn by those engaged in the wizardly profession. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +1 vs. crushing attacks – Save vs. Petrification/Polymorph: +1 Weight: 4 |
| 10037 This powerful mage robe offers protection from all forms of physical attack while at the same time increasing one's Magic Resistance and Saving Throws. Due to the nature of its enchantment, it can only be worn by wizards of good alignment. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: 5 – Saving Throws: +1 – Magic Resistance: +5% Weight: 6 |

| 10042 The typical throwing dagger has a pointed, usually double-edged blade, as opposed to a knife, which has a single edge and is a bit shorter than the dagger. Unlike a dagger, this one has a smaller handle and is balanced differently. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d4 (missile) Speed Factor: 2 Proficiency Type: Dagger Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 0 |
| 10043 The dart is a small, easily concealable missile weapon that is thrown rather than fired from a bow or other launcher. Magical darts, such as this one, are sought after by thieves and mages.

| 10044 The Dart of Stunning looks like any other dart, other than the fact that it seems to pulse slightly when held in the hand. The true effects can be seen when one strikes an opponent and they fall to the ground stunned. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – Target must save vs. Spell or be stunned for 7 rounds Damage: 1d3 (missile) Speed Factor: 2 Proficiency Type: Dart Type: One-handed Weight: 0 |

| 10046 Since the age of Netheril, mages have learned to bestow a wide variety of magical properties upon the everyday objects that surround them. A favorite item of such enchantment is the common robe. It is lightweight, affordable, and holds its enchantment well, thereby making it ideal equipment for a mage. Due to their magical heritage, however, only single-, dual-, and multi-class mages may wear these enchanted robes. STATISTICS: Weight: 3 |

| 10073 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Nalia has left the party to go to her family's keep. She asked me to go there to meet her, if I could, but she could wait no longer. |
| 10074 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Nalia has told me of the danger facing her keep. Trolls have taken over, aided by some kind of "snake creature." A few surviving guards have set up a palisade outside of the castle. Her family may still be trapped inside. A servant named Daleson may provide useful information if he is still alive. Nalia suggests we track him down first once inside. The best way to enter the castle is not through the front gate, which is likely closed. A secret entrance in the castle wall is hidden behind a bush, directly north of the palisade. |

| 10095 The Archdruid |
| 10096 We have questions about the druids. This is close to the heart of Jaheira, and she demands an answer. |
| 10097 Spend some time and remind each other how to love. I release you from my service. |
| 10098 Thank you for both your understanding and your friendship, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. Come... let us be off to my estate so that I may meet with Maria and put this behind me. |
| 10099 Have I ever told you how it is that I came to flee from the Underdark? |
| 10100 Thank you for both your understanding and your friendship, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. Your heart is kind and your soul is true. I shall not forget it. |
| 10101 The de'Arnise keep has been cleared After a difficult battle, the keep of Nalia's family has finally been cleared of its troll invaders. Unfortunately, Lord de'Arnise could not be rescued and had been killed by the troll leader, TorGal. Nalia, however, remains alive... although her future in her own keep seems anything less than certain. |
| 10102 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills I have found the adventurer hired earlier by Minister Lloyd, Mazzy Fentan, kept prisoner within a cage in the temple's dungeon. According to the halfling, she and her party had earlier attempted to destroy the evil behind this place, the Shade Lord, and were utterly wiped out by a shadow dragon. Mazzy related that her party needed to collect three keys to get to the final chamber, and there she discovered that the Shade Lord was inhabiting the body of the ranger Merella. Her companions were killed and turned into shadows, and she suspects she was kept alive to serve as the next host for the Shade Lord once Merella grows weak. She also told of her suspicion that the Shade Lord's altar was somehow the focus of the dark power over this place. Both the Shade Lord and his altar must be destroyed, and Mazzy offered to aid me in that task if I would only free her. |
| 10103 Dealing with the Trademeet genies With the druid grove quieted, Lord Logan has another problem. Genies have taken over trade until they get what they want. Logan has sent me to talk with Guildmistress Busya, found within his house, for more information. |
| 10104 The drow summoning ritual Both Phaere and Matron Mother Ardulace have been fooled into offering the demon fake silver dragon eggs... and the demon has finally vanished, finding the whole thing amusing. According to the imp, the seal on the city should be lifted... but I have only a couple of minutes to get out before my disguise is revealed! |
| 10105 Recover the silver dragon's eggs Adalon cannot help me anymore now that the drow city has turned against me. The drow yet hold her eggs, so she cannot act... and my only option is to engage in a slaughter that would be extremely difficult to win. |
| 10106 Getting inside the asylum With the vampires defeated and Saemon fled, Sime said that Bodhi was probably behind the pirate's treachery. I must work quickly to gain access to the asylum. Sime said to go to the local tavern and speak to a man named Sanik. She, meanwhile, would scout around and meet me at the pass leading to the asylum itself. |
| 10107 Getting inside the asylum The barkeep at the Vulgar Monkey told me that the assassin who killed Sanik was sent by Lady Galvena, the mistress of the local Courtesan's Guild and a woman of power and wealth in Brynnlaw. |
| 10108 Helping Tiris in Trademeet I returned to Tiris to tell him the good news... that Rejiek Hidesman and the other skin dancer, Darsidian, were finally dead and Raissa was restored... but he had already received it. Raissa and he had left to be married, and his parents were overjoyed. Sometimes things work out, it seems. |
| 10109 The prophecy of Sekolah The high priestess wants me to go to the rebel, Prince Villynaty, and ally with him instead because the king is mad and destroying her people. I refused her offer, although she told me to come back if I changed my mind. |
| 10110 No, you actually haven't. |
| 10111 I pray you have not forgotten my intention to reconcile with my Lady Maria. 'Tis not a duty I care to postpone for long. |
| 10112 No... nor am I particularly interested in hearing the tale. |
| 10113 I had worshipped the Spider Queen for an age and a half, longer than you have been alive, but there came a time when my faith in Lolth was no more. |
| 10114 I lapsed when a child... a baby... was to die: It would not have made Lolth stronger or more influential or made her a greater deity. I lost my will that day. |
| 10115 One of the lesser priestesses noticed my hesitation, and she took the babe's life herself, eager to usurp my place in Lolth's favor. |
| 10116 The prophecy of Sekolah High Priestess Senityili informed me that the only way to get through the doors to the rebel encampment was to find the key... Sekolah's Tooth, which was stolen by a drow and hidden long ago in an area directly to the south. |
| 10117 Mage Robe of Cold Resistance |
| 10118 This is an unfortunate situation they have placed you in, Jaheira. I trust your judgment though. |
| 10119 The dueling families of Trademeet During the reward ceremony held for me by Lord Logan, both Lady Lilith Lurraxol and Lord Skarmaen Alibakkar approached me separately, offering me employment and warning me against the other. If I am interested, I should go and see one of them at their estate. Lord Logan warned me afterwards of their feuding, saying I should steer clear of them for my own good. |
| 10122 Coran and the wolfweres Coran said that Safana has been kidnapped by a group of wolfweres, and he doesn't know what they are planning. I refused to help, so he went ahead to check on Safana's safety by himself. The wolfwere encampment is nearby to the east; he bade me to follow if I changed my mind. |
| 10123 Valygar's family quest is over Valygar told me that Lavok has granted me the planar sphere to use as I wished... simply requesting that I use it with more wisdom than he had. I have no knowledge of how the sphere is used or what its secrets are... but it is the sort of base that no other wizard in Faerûn would have access to, that is certain. |
| 10124 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Higgold has sent someone to fetch me. I suppose that he has gathered all his actors together at the playhouse, and I should go take a look at them when I have time. According to the gopher boy, Higgold won't start production until I see them. |
| 10125 Dealing with the Trademeet genies The guildmistress was pleased at my ridding the town of the problem of the genies. She suggested that I go to Lord Logan Coprith to tell him that the deed is done. |
| 10127 Cernd's child In Cernd's home, we encountered a beggar who remembered Cernd's wife and their servant, Fennecia. He said that Fennecia was now working as a nanny in her home, which should be on my map. He did not know what happened to Cernd's wife, although Fennecia certainly might. |
| 10128 The hunt for Valygar Corthala I encountered a friend of Valygar's, a ranger by the name of Suna Seni. She told me a little of the man... he is a ranger, for starters, and belongs to a family that is under some kind of curse. He is fairly wealthy, having a home in the Docks District and some wild land out in the Umar Hills. She doesn't seem to think he has any particular hatred of the Cowled Wizards and seems quite fond of him overall. |
| 10131 Coran and the wolfweres Safana and the wolfwere Lanfear had obviously hatched a plan together. Safana would gain access to the bounty on my head and Lanfear would gain Coran, whom she was in love with in her own strange fashion. Safana died at the hands of the wolfwere, and we stopped Lanfear ourselves. Overall, just more tragedy for Coran to moon about for the next decade or so. |

| 10166 My House had fallen into disfavor with the Dark Queen as a result of my actions, and the word spread throughout the city. |
| 10167 As is custom among the drow, the weak become the prey of the faithful. A lesser House jumped at the opportunity and began a war with ours. |
| 10168 Lolth was pleased at the House's aggression... and ours had to fight twice as hard to survive and regain Lolth's favor. |
| 10169 But I refused. I was disgusted with my queen, so I cursed my mother and endangered my House. In my naivete, I thought that I would survive after my actions. |

| 10185 When asked about his past, MINSC proclaims that he is a berserker warrior from the nation of Rashemen in the Utter East, though his affinity for animals speaks to his skill as a ranger as well. He originally came to the Sword Coast on a dajemma, a ritual journey to manhood, as the bodyguard of a young Wychlaran of Rashemen named Dynaheir. To his shame, Dynaheir is now dead, and he fears that the doors of the honored Ice Dragon Berserker Lodge are forever closed to him. This personal tragedy has obviously not strengthened Minsc's hold on reality, as evidenced by his continued dependence on his animal companion "Boo," a creature that he claims is a miniature giant space hamster. Apparently such things do exist somewhere in the realms, but Minsc has surely taken too many blows to the head. |

| 10199 When asked about her past, JAHEIRA glares as she speaks. She says that she was born in the Tethyr region to a loyalist of the King Alemander regime, unfortunately during the Tethyrian civil war. Her family was among the nobles targeted by the angry mobs of peasants, and she was only spared because a servant girl took her from their castle before it fell. An enclave of druids in the Forest of Tethir was willing to grant shelter, and Jaheira grew up headstrong in their care. She believes the only way to protect nature is to have an active role in the world, but the cost of this dedication seems to weigh heavily on her mind these days. She grows quiet when you ask about recent events, and while she gives the appearance of her normal, strong-willed self, there is a look of doubt in her eyes. It would seem that she has seen too many friends fall to remain unaffected. She does not like the subject, and lets it drop. |
| 10203 When asked about her past, BRANWEN reveals that she left her home of Seawolf in the Norheim Isles at an early age. She was apparently reviled by her own people for wanting to become a priest, a station reserved exclusively for the men of the village. She harbors no resentment, realizing that her faith must face such tests or be worthless. She traveled the coast, offering her services to local militias, and eventually came into the employ of an adventuring troupe in the Nashkel area. Branwen had no idea that the group was participating in banditry, however, and on their first raid, she balked at attacking a caravan of unarmed merchants. She rebelled, and a mage named Tranzig turned her to stone in the ensuing fight. Despite the unfavorable outcome, Branwen feels that Tempus views her actions approvingly. To attack those that are unarmed is the basest of villainy. |
| 10206 When asked about his past, XAN wistfully speaks of his home in the elven stronghold of Evereska, and his role as a Greycloak. It was apparently decreed that he was to investigate the events of the iron shortage, determine who or what were the causes, and ascertain whether there was a greater threat to the region as a whole. This was definitely not a small task, and he accepted the responsibility with a great deal of dread. You get the feeling, however, that he approaches everything with a great deal of dread. He has devoted his life to improving his mastery of magic and has become a skilled wizard, though this dedication has left him little time to make friends or acquire any other pastimes. He strikes you as very capable, though probably not the best influence on morale. |

| 10216 When asked about how he came to be in the employ of the Shadow Thieves, EDWIN sneers that it is none of your business. In his opinion, you are lucky enough to have encountered him at all, and further inquiries beyond this initial boon will only serve to tempt the fates. Despite his obstinate nature, there is a hint that his present circumstance is not all that favorable, and his willingness to join with you contradicts his supposed distaste for the company of others. Edwin ignores speculation about his recent past, but he does appear to have placed less emphasis on the Red Wizard colors he has so brazenly displayed in the past. It is an understandable act for a wizard traveler in mage-fearing Amn. |
| 10217 When you ask about her recent past, VICONIA snarls that it is not your place to know such things of her. There is still pride in her voice when she speaks about her Underdark home of Menzoberranzan, but you get the feeling that there is nothing left for her there, her family and House most likely victims of typically vicious drow "politics." She has continued in her worship of the night goddess Shar, but that appears to have been the only boon to her exile. She seems sullen and bitter, and has certainly learned much of the intolerance she must face while living amongst surface peoples. Her natural abilities as a drow have faded with time, also contributing to her lost sense of belonging. |
| 10218 Boo scuttles away as you try to grab him, and Minsc stops any further attempt to steal the animal with a harsh glare. |

| 10221 These arrows are strangely constructed: apparently notched such that only their creator can fathom their use. |

| 10233 IMOEN chuckles when you ask her about her past, assuming you are just trying to keep her mind on happier times and places. She indulges you, and certainly does cheer up when speaking of how you spent your youths together in Candlekeep. She arrived there the same as you, in the company of your foster father Gorion, but despite this similarity, she grew up much more carefree than you did. Indeed, her lighthearted outlook has long kept her immune to the hardships of the world, though the dark confines and horrors of your current location have definitely taken their toll. |

| 10250 Finding Irenicus in Hell Having Blackrazor obviously gives me the ability to dispatch the genie and gain the Tear of Bhaal for myself, and I have chosen to do so. I am not about to give up this sword so easily. |
| 10251 You betrayed your family and your god? Perhaps you deserved whatever you got. |
| 10252 A pretty story, Viconia. Come, let us continue our travels. |

| 10256 I... no. The memory of the events fills my heart with bile, <CHARNAME>. I cannot continue. Another time, perhaps. |
| 10257 That is your considered opinion, is it? You would prefer I lance the heart of a helpless child? You are more of a dolt than I thought, perhaps. |

| 10269 Allies recruited for the struggle against Bodhi I asked the temple of Lathander to help fight Bodhi, but they said they couldn't. They suggested that I approach the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart if I haven't already. |

| 10274 Not right now, Viconia. Another time, perhaps. |
| 10275 Certainly, Viconia... I'd be interested to hear it. |
| 10276 Oh, my friends, I warned you that this strange viper's soul is now guarded by my honor. In attacking him, you have attacked me, and I fear I have no choice but to defend. |
| 10277 It is always another time with you. I've no need to unburden myself, so you may proceed to spend your time listening to the wind blow through the leaves. |
| 10278 Let me see... I had told you of my mother, correct? She was desperate to restore Lolth's goodwill to the House DeVir, and I was proving uncooperative. |
| 10279 My mother did the only thing she thought she could do, of course. She commanded that I be offered as a sacrifice to appease the Spider Queen. |
| 10280 I was surrounded by male soldiers who attempted to cart me off to the temple. I hated my mother, but I knew that she did the right thing. |
| 10281 I knew that my queen would indeed be pleased by one of her daughters being offered to her. I fought grandly, killing many of the males... but it was futile. |
| 10282 I was overwhelmed, dragged to the temple, and splayed across the altar in preparation for the priestesses to take my life. I was frightened... terrified, in fact. |
| 10283 I would have died, in fact, were it not for... if it were not for my brother. My poor, foolish brother. Valas... |
| 10284 Is that a tear I see running down your cheek? Shedding a tear for a mere male? |

| 10291 Spider's Bane +2 |
| 10292 This sword was originally forged by the dwarves of the Orothiar tribe in Cloakwood. They created the blade to help foster goodwill between them and the Grand Dukes of Baldur's Gate. Wielded by the Grand Dukes for about a century, the sword was eventually lost, ironically in a fight against ettercaps and spiders. Who wields the blade is now unknown, but its recovery would aid greatly in fighting the current spider infestation that plagues the Cloakwood.

| 10303 This potent weapon was created by the smiths of ancient Myth Drannor. Moonblades are used in the long process of selecting a ruler for the isle of Evermeet. A moonblade chooses its owner, and in the case of this sword it has chosen the elf, Xan. Only Xan can use this blade; anyone else who tries will find themselves unable to lift it.

| 10384 Viconia, you're talking again. I've got no desire to do the same. |

| 10424 Moody bastard. As you wish. |
| 10425 Yes... yes, I suppose your experience has not been typical for a surface-dweller or their parents and siblings, but you have had something similar, it seems. |
| 10426 I cannot understand the relationships... the closeness that the families of the surface retain with each other. In the Underdark, things are very different. |
| 10427 So you've said before, and I've no desire to hear more of it. |
| 10428 Nay. It shall be my final quest; you have my word. When I am done it, I shall submit my resignation to the Order and... and come home. Does that please you, m'lady? |
| 10429 It does. |
| 10430 As it pleases me. I shall return soon, with all the passion of my pent-up heart unleashed. Until then, may the gods bless you and... and give my greetings to Sir William when you see him. |
| 10431 What was your family like, then? |
| 10432 Children are raised by the priestesses or the matrons of the House... there is no affection or loyalty. All exist to serve Lolth. |
| 10433 I had fourteen sisters, and each one was more of a danger and a rival than the next. Most of them perished young... many by my own hand. |
| 10434 Indeed, drow males are educated in all forms of erotic pleasure. They exist to please women, and live or die at their whim. |

| 10437 Come, <CHARNAME>, there be little time for idleness. I hear you have an old friend that needs some rescuing... |
| 10438 My brother is what finally made me break my faith fully from the Spider Queen. His actions, I mean... saving me from sacrifice. |
| 10439 Eh? What's this? What are you babbling about now? |
| 10440 I thought you lost your faith when you refused to sacrifice the baby. |
| 10441 Viconia, I've no time for your nonsense today. |
| 10442 I had begun to question Lolth's appetite for power and absolute devotion with the child, but I did not cast her out of my heart fully until Valas saved my life. |
| 10443 I am not "babbling." If I began suddenly, it is because I have been pondering this matter silently for some time. I am simply trying to explain something to you. |
| 10444 Why would your brother's saving you do that? |
| 10445 Sometimes I wonder why you insist on telling me all these things. |
| 10446 Yes, Viconia, that's very interesting. Can we just continue on now? |
| 10447 Nonsense? I reveal the key to my heart and faith, and this is nonsense to you? You are a slug, <CHARNAME>; I was a fool to have opened my mouth in the first place. |
| 10448 Valas used his magic to free me... and when my mother became enraged and tried to stop him from ruining the House, he killed her. |
| 10449 She transformed him into a drider, a half-drow half-spider creature of pure malice and base instinct. Valas was wiped away, replaced by this... monstrous thing. |
| 10450 I cursed Lolth's name for what she had done to him. I renounced the Dark Queen with every fiber of my being... and she was not pleased. |
| 10451 I was forced to flee the Underdark, making my way quickly to the surface before the other drow could stop me, cursing and crying the entire way. |
| 10452 Without your power, that must have been a difficult journey. |
| 10453 It sounds like you got what you deserved. |
| 10454 Song of the Morning Temple |
| 10455 Song of the Morning Temple |
| 10456 If Lolth was able to do that to your brother, I'm surprised she didn't do worse to you. |
| 10457 I tell you these things because I wish to, <CHARNAME>. Do not overexcite yourself on their account. Now... where was I? Ah, yes... Valas. |
| 10458 If you would... If you would please sit with me for a moment before you retire, I would be thankful. I find myself uncharacteristically overcome with anxiety, and I'm not... eager... to be alone for the evening. |
| 10459 Certainly. Viconia, you're shaking! What is the matter? |
| 10460 Forget it, Viconia... I'm not about to fall victim to another one of your head games. |
| 10461 I have been... thinking of Lolth. She is cruel, not known for forgiveness, and always takes revenge... collecting the lapsed and fallen. I know she will come for me. |
| 10462 Please, <CHARNAME>... do not make me beg. I implore you to stay with me but a few moments so that I may put myself at ease... |
| 10463 Actually, I would rather enjoy seeing you beg, Viconia. |
| 10464 Very well. A few moments. Hold, now... you are shaking visibly! What is the matter? |
| 10465 Well, I see that you are finally awake. I hope that your pathetic exertions of last night brought at least one of us some measure of pleasure. |
| 10466 Pathetic? It sure didn't take you long to run cold again. |

| 10492 I am not interested in discussing this right now, all right? |
| 10494 I enjoyed myself just fine, thank you. |
| 10495 I am merely disappointed. Your performance pales in comparison to a drow male. My skin simply crawls with the thought that I allowed your rough hands to touch me! |
| 10496 Well, you seemed to enjoy yourself well enough last night. |
| 10497 I don't understand you. Last night you were practically begging for me to hold you. Now you act like I forced myself upon you! |
| 10498 If you want to be a bitch, Viconia, do it somewhere else. |
| 10499 It was not. I have seen limp and blind fish with more virility than you. I would have preferred the crude pawings of a goblin than suffered your rough hands! |
| 10500 Well, you seemed to enjoy yourself last night. |
| 10501 I don't understand you. Last night you were practically begging for me to hold you. Now you act like I forced myself upon you! |
| 10502 If you want to be a bitch, Viconia, do it somewhere else. |
| 10503 Ah yes, smile and gloat that you have conquered me while you can; my skin crawls at the mere memory of your rough hands having their way with me! |

| 10508 If you want to be a bitch, Viconia, do it somewhere else. |
| 10509 Prove your worth and I shall submit to your mastery. Listen to the words of my jailor, who cast me off so that he might pass from this world: |
| 10510 Artifice, fool! An effort to push you more quickly that you might pull your putrid and sweaty form away from my presence! The very sight of you disgusts me! |
| 10511 If this is how you're going to act, then just leave me alone, all right? |
| 10513 Finally awake, are you? I have been watching you through the night, and each moment I do so, my stomach has churned with vileness. Your very presence makes me ill! |
| 10514 Gained Special Ability: <SPECIALABILITYNAME> |
| 10515 Is this all because I refused to sleep with you? |
| 10516 Well, your vicious personality does little for me either. |
| 10517 If this is how you intend to act, Viconia, then just leave me be. |
| 10518 Grow up, you stupid fool! Your reluctance to share my bed only shows lack of virility or courage! I am glad you did not stay; the very thought makes my flesh crawl! |

| 10521 It does about the same for me, drow. Why don't we just avoid this situation in the future, all right? |
| 10522 If this is how you're going to act, all of a sudden, just leave me be. |
| 10523 I don't believe you, Viconia. You opened up to me... and now you're snapping shut again. Why? |
| 10524 Is that so? Let us just avoid each other in the future, then, so that both of us may make an attempt to keep our bile down. Would that be satisfactory to you, jaluk? |
| 10525 Fine by me. |
| 10526 No, it isn't! I don't believe you, Viconia. You opened up to me... and now you're snapping shut again. Why? |
| 10527 Yes, I shall leave you be, <CHARNAME>! I shall stay far away from your putrid stench and even farther from your unwelcome appearance! Stay equally distant from me, iblith! |
| 10528 I have been thinking about how you have refused to take up your destiny as the son of Bhaal... |
| 10529 You have no impetus to carve an empire, and you are certainly no Lord of Murder. I have decided you are weak and cowardly, not fit for the godsblood flowing within you. |
| 10530 My destiny is my own, Viconia. I'll not discuss it with you. |
| 10531 What brings this on? |
| 10532 If you're going to spout filth every time you open your mouth, just keep it shut. I tire of you. |
| 10533 Yes... that is the <CHARNAME> I now expect. Brush me off, refuse to meet a challenge; you are unworthy... like a worm, you meet your destiny on your belly. |
| 10534 Enough! The next time I want to hear from you, drow, I shall ask for your opinion! |
| 10535 Why are you saying all this, Viconia? |
| 10536 Knight of the Order |
| 10537 Do not stand so close to me. It is bad enough that I have to smell your stench on the occasional breeze... must I also bask in your rancid aura? |
| 10538 I'm not even near you, Viconia. What twisted game is this? |
| 10539 No, you don't. You can leave our group, if that is what you wish. |
| 10540 (The voice resumes its excited manner.) When all was silent, I crept from the slime and scratched rhymes for you. Vallah forbade it and hid me, but he is dead, so I've ignored him. |
| 10541 I... never mind, <CHARNAME>. Leave me be. |
| 10542 I have no desire to leave, <CHARNAME>. I simply do not wish to have your leering eyes upon me. Nor do I wish to take in your foul visage any more than I must. |
| 10543 What is going on here? Who are you? |
| 10544 Something isn't as it seems. Get out of my skull and leave me be! |
| 10545 (The voice laughs.) I can't reveal all. Prove your worthâ€â€find Quallo. We shall speak through that vessel. Be careful! The wards must be broken in the proper order. |
| 10546 I've had enough of this. Leave, will you? |
| 10547 Fine. Stay if you must, but if you have nothing decent to say, remain quiet. |
| 10548 Stay if you must, then... but do not speak to me anymore. I am through with your twisted games. |
| 10549 Stay, then. But I want to know where this resentment is coming from. Why are you saying these things? |
| 10550 Who are you to say? Only another druid should have business here. You can do nothing. In the past, I might have feared such as you, but no longer. |
| 10551 Nothing would please me more. Aluve', mrann d'ssinss... oloth plynn dos! |
| 10552 You are a stupid fool to order me about. I shall remain quiet, then... and as far away from you as possible. |

| 10582 That is too bad. I refuse to allow you to push me aside, regardless of your sullen mood or overbearing demeanor. You will listen to me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 10583 You wish to know of me? You wish to learn what I am like? I shall tell you the truth of it, then. |
| 10584 I have lied to you, <CHARNAME>, lies upon lies. My tale of the farmer in Beregost? A lie. I laid with him many times, seducing him to get the things I needed. |
| 10585 It was his wife and townsfolk that drove me out. Like a succubus, I have whored my way to Amn, taking what favors I could gather through sweat and passion. |
| 10586 I... I cast my white flag before you. I can struggle no more. You have... you have defeated me. |
| 10587 What are you talking about? Defeated you? |
| 10588 Ohhh no, I'm not falling for this again. Just stay away from me, you crazy bitch. |
| 10589 Squire Melvin |
| 10590 I... I understand, <CHARNAME>. I shall simply apologize for my behavior, then, and leave you alone from now on. |
| 10591 I think that's for the best for all concerned. |
| 10592 The dueling families of Trademeet Lord Skarmaen Alibakkar was quite pleased with the killing of Lady Lilith, and has rewarded me for the deed. Lord Logan Coprith, however, will likely not be so happy with my actions. |
| 10593 Wait... maybe I've been hasty. Tell me what you mean by "defeated"... I don't understand. |
| 10594 Yes, defeated me. I do not know what it is about you, <CHARNAME>, but I opened up to you... I let you inside with honesty and candor. I am not used to such. |
| 10595 Trust is death. I have been betrayed again and again, and yet I began to trust in you. I... I could not allow it to happen. I was confused; I tried to drive you away. |
| 10596 Those... things... I said when we last spoke? Lies. I told you the truth of things the first time. You saw through my deception, and would not be driven away. |
| 10597 I owe you... so much. You are safe harbor in a storm of terrifying power. I begin to feel that I need you... and this enthralls me and enrages me all at once... |
| 10598 If you will have me, I shall not push you away again... stay with me tonight, <CHARNAME>, let us be together in earnest. Let me savor the unfamiliar fear that goes with this trust. |
| 10599 Yes, perhaps it is for the best. Aluve' mrann d'ssinss. I shall bother you no more. |

| 10604 All right, Viconia. I will stay with you. |
| 10605 A good morning to you. Or, at least, as close a morning as we come with these strange hours that we keep. I trust your exertions were... worthwhile? |

| 10620 The dueling families of Trademeet Both noble families ended up fighting each other, as well as me, to possess the Mantle of Waukeen... and in the end, they all died for it. Lord Logan was disappointed, but he did not blame me for the resulting carnage. |

| 10632 He told a few tales, but not many. Tell me of these races, if you wish to. |

| 10657 I do wish it. Open the doors and perform your duties. |
| 10658 I am not actually your master, but I would like to know who he is. |
| 10659 Not at present. Just stay where you are, and I will tell you when you are to perform your duties. |
| 10660 Is that all that you can do? |
| 10661 As you will, master. I shall return to my rest. |
| 10662 You have not activated my movement functions. You must use the activation stone. |
| 10663 I seem to have misplaced the stone. Do you know where it is, my servant? |
| 10664 It is all that you have ensorceled me to do. |
| 10665 Very well. Open the doors and begin your work. |
| 10666 I am not actually your master, but I would like to know who he is. |
| 10667 Well then, just stay where you are, and I will tell you when you are to perform your duties. |

| 10705 Zeke |
| 10706 Zeke |
| 10707 I am here to learn more of your Order, Keldorn, if you would be so kind. |

| 10713 Leave me be. I shall find my own way about. |
| 10714 I have come to petition, once again, for your service. I appears my journey might yet take me further than I had first assumed, and I could use your sword and blessings at my side. |
| 10715 Due to the nature of our calling, so few paladins live to see their fortieth year... but the Radiant Heart accepts nothing less, <CHARNAME>. |
| 10716 If it is to be at your side once more, then I will gladly make your present cause my own, m'<LADYLORD>. |
| 10717 Well, I could use some of that wisdom right now, Keldorn. Have you the freedom to travel once more at my side? |
| 10718 Investigate activities in the Copper Coronet's rooms I informed Lehtinan, the owner of the Copper Coronet, of Hendak's desire to escape the slave pens and his attempt to acquire my help. |
| 10719 So the Radiant Heart is sort of a retirement home for paladins who have passed their prime, is that it? |
| 10720 Thank you, old friend. It has been enlightening. |
| 10721 Now I remember why I liked you so much. Now excuse me, but I have some other tasks to perform. The Radiant Heart is always open to you. |
| 10722 And thank you for stopping by. It is always good to see old friends. Now, if you'll forgive me, I have some other tasks that must be attended to. Come again when you have the time. |
| 10723 I don't know what trouble you've decided to bring here, <CHARNAME>, but I'd advise you not to start. |

| 10728 Then I shall retrieve it from him and return. |

| 10740 I chose you for your strength, Keldorn, and now you claim weakness. If you are in trouble, take it to your Order. I want nothing to do with it. |
| 10741 Ahh, of course. How could I forget? |
| 10742 In... in my absence, my wife has been sleeping with another man. Law demands that Sir William be hung and Maria imprisoned, but I... I cannot! I have told no one else of my shame, but something must be done! |
| 10743 Your magic requires that I be activated with the stone, master. It is on the table in the room where you have kept Rielev. |
| 10744 Then I shall retrieve it from there and return. |
| 10745 I know where I keep such things, fool! I will get it when I wish! |
| 10746 Slow down, Keldorn, everything's going to be okay. Perhaps we should confront Sir William about the matter before we make any rash decisions. |
| 10747 As you will, master. I shall return to my rest. |
| 10749 The truth is sometimes harsh, Keldorn, and justice brutal, but without them we are only lies and lawlessness. |
| 10751 Perhaps you should talk with her under calmer circumstances. |
| 10752 I say we apply a justice of our own and kill the bastard. Who is he, anyway? |
| 10753 Sir William of Thorpe... He is a good manâ€â€at least I always thought so until... until now. Come, let us seek out this viper at the Mithrest Inn in Waukeen's Promenade and see what sense we can make of it. |
| 10754 Master? Is it you? You have given me no eyes, and I cannot see you... I sense that you have my activation stone. Do you wish for me to open the doors and perform my duties? |
| 10755 Uh... yes. Please open the doors and go about your duties. |
| 10756 Not at this time. I will tell you when I wish you to open the doors and begin working. |
| 10757 I bow before your will, master. |
| 10758 As you will, master. If you do not wish me to perform my duties, I shall return to my sleep. |
| 10759 You... you are right. I shall present myself before the courts, but I shall do so alone. I shall return here in three hours' time and, if the gods are willing, this nightmare shall all be over. |
| 10760 All my work is completed, master. The guardian feeds. There is naught else for me to do. |
| 10761 Very well. Return to your rest. |
| 10762 What is the guardian? |
| 10763 Yes, master. |
| 10764 He is the one who feeds on the filth and remains of the prisoners. He is the creature that guards the way to your chambers. I must return to my sleep now. Your magic compels me. |
| 10765 Who is this master that you speak of? |
| 10766 The master's magic compels me to be silent. I must return to my rest. |
| 10767 There are no calmer circumstances! To see her face would drive me to madness, <CHARNAME>. To be in her presence... You mean well, but it is not an option. |
| 10768 Then we have little choice but to give our testimony to the courts. Come, I shall be at your side and lend further credence to your charge. |
| 10769 Then let us bestow some justice of our own upon Sir William. He has challenged your honor, and that cannot go without a response. |
| 10770 ...The deed is done. My Lady Maria rots in some dungeon's depths, and Sir William of Thorpe swings at the end of a well-tied rope. All I have left is the church, and perhaps that is all I ever had. Will you have me join you again, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 10771 I think it would be better if... if you stayed with your Order right now, Keldorn. Now might not be the best of times to be placing yourself in the way of mortal danger. |
| 10772 I am not one to abandon friends in their time of need. Come, and journey with us. |
| 10773 True, too true... Aye then, there is work I must attend to here, so attend to it I shall. Thank you... for your friendship. |
| 10774 Thank you, my friend. I pray I shall not disappoint you. Come, let us not talk further of this dark day. |
| 10775 Augh! I cannot bear the shame of it all, spurned by love and friend alike. A curse on all your heads as surely as one has been placed on mine! |
| 10776 Hello. |
| 10777 Not feeling very talkative then, are you? |
| 10778 So you met with Sir William? |
| 10779 And hello to you too, old friend. |
| 10780 Sir William is dead... My Lady Maria left an hour ago. She took the girls with her when she left... All I have left is my Order, and even it seems hollow today... |
| 10781 ...Maybe we should give you a little time to yourself. |
| 10782 If it would help, you are welcome to join with us again. |
| 10783 Prisoners... you must not escape... the master does not will it. |
| 10784 ...Maybe. |
| 10785 I want to forget this day. I want to wipe it from my mind forever. Help me do that. |
| 10786 Who is this master that you speak of? |
| 10787 What your master wills matters not to me, golem. Where are we, and why have we been brought here? |
| 10788 The master wants me to be free. He released me. |

| 10796 The master wants me to be free. He released me. |
| 10797 I will not return to that cage. Do you think to stop me from leaving? |
| 10798 You are his prisoners. He has brought you to his home because he owns you now. You must return to your cell. It is the master's will. |

| 10811 CAUTION! Dual-classing is a significant change to your character. Please be sure you have read and understand the following, as well as the description given in the manual. Dual-classing is an ability that only humans have. It is the process by which you stop advancing in your current class and begin advancing in a second class. You will retain the benefits and abilities of the first class at its current level, but from then on you will only gain experience in the second. In order to become dual-classed, you must be of at least 2nd level in your current class. Your character must have scores of 15 or higher in the prime requisites of your current class and scores of 17 or more in the prime requisites of the class you wish to change to. Some classes cannot be combined due to alignment conflicts or inherent restrictions. Within Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, all resulting mixes must be viable multi-class combinations as well. Dual-class characters have much the same requirements as multi-class characters. You must abide by the restrictions of the individual classes. For example: A Mage combination cannot cast spells while wearing armor, a Thief combination cannot use thieving skills while wearing armor other than leather, and a Cleric or Druid combination cannot use weapons that their ethos does not allow. When you gain a level, you will have the option to change to a second class, provided you have the prerequisites and do not have any alignment conflicts. Your first class becomes "inactive," and you begin again at 1st level with 0 experience points in your second class. From then on, you progress as a single-classed character in your new class. ONCE YOU HAVE CHANGED TO A SECOND CLASS, YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO THE FIRST. Your first class will forever remain at its current level. You will be unable to use the abilities of your first class until you have attained ONE LEVEL HIGHER in your new class. For example: If you were a 10th-level Mage and switched to a Fighter, you would not be able to use your Mage abilities again until you reached 11th level as a Fighter. IMPORTANT: The experience cap in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition is 8,000,000 points for a single character. Experience points from BOTH of a dual-classed character's classes count towards this total. Please be sure that there are sufficient points left available to allow you to progress high enough in your second class! IF YOU ARE LEVEL 14 IN YOUR CURRENT CLASS, IT IS VERY LIKELY YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REACH LEVEL 15 IN A SECOND CLASS. The game will still allow you to dual if you wish, but you may not be able to access your previous class's abilities within Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. This may result in difficulty later in the game. |
| 10812 Who is this master that you speak of? |
| 10813 I am glad. Take a day away from your service to me and spend it with your family. |
| 10814 I will not return to that cage! Do you think to stop me from leaving? |
| 10815 Where are we, and why have we been brought here? |
| 10816 Then I shall try to release you from my service as soon as possible. |
| 10817 I am not bound to stop you. The guardian will stop you from leaving. Return to your cells. It is the master's wish. |
| 10818 Who or what is the guardian? |
| 10819 I promised my daughters that I would take them to the circus. Little did I know the chance would come so soon... Fare thee well, <CHARNAME>. Your kindness shall not be forgotten. |

| 10836 Greetings! I was wondering when you might come. |
| 10837 Captured by mind flayers! An odd door blocks my progress through the illithid city. Other than the dreaded mind flayers themselves, I suspect only a being of great power could force this door open. |
| 10838 Are you ready? |
| 10839 How was your day? |
| 10840 Sir William is a good man, <CHARNAME>, and I think I'd even go so far as to call him a friend... even if you think it odd. Now let us continue your quest, that I might return here all the sooner. |
| 10841 Cannot save during a store. |
| 10842 Certainly. Have you everything you need? |
| 10843 Actually, Keldorn, I've been thinking... The quest for Imoen is my own, and I have no right the force it upon a good friend against his will... You need to be here with your family. |
| 10844 I have everything I can bring with me, if that is what you mean. Come, let us go. |
| 10845 If that is your wish... I would be grateful for it... Take care, <CHARNAME>, and travel with the blessings of the gods. |
| 10846 The guardian will keep you from the master's chambers. You must return to your cells. It is the master's will. |
| 10847 Not permitted to buy/sell items. |
| 10848 I felt... I felt like a husband again, like a father. It was good, <CHARNAME>. Very good... Now let us rescue your Imoen, that I might return here all the sooner. |

| 10851 Minor Spell Turning (Abjuration) Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This spell is similar to the 7th-level Spell Turning, which causes the spells cast against the wizard to rebound upon the original caster. This affects a total of 4 spell levelsâ€â€including spells cast from scrolls and innate spell-like abilitiesâ€â€but excludes the following: area effects that are not centered directly upon the wizard, as well as area effects that are stationary, such as Cloudkill and Stinking Cloud. As long as the spell is cast directly at the wizard, it will be reflected back upon the caster. This spell will only affect up to 4th-level spells, but as long as there are levels remaining, a spell will be reflected. For example, if there is only 1 level left and a 3rd-level spell is cast at the wizard, the spell will be reflected while canceling the Spell Turning. This spell will not protect the caster from Dispel Magic, but will not be dispelled by Dispel Magic either. |
| 10852 Certainly. Have you everything you need? |
| 10853 Actually, Keldorn, I've been thinking... The quest for Imoen is my own, and I have no right the force it upon a good friend against his will... You need to be here with your family. |
| 10854 Only the brightest, most upstanding knights of all the Holy Orders are granted the privilege of membership. |
| 10855 So *this* is the guild house of the infamous Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, is it? |
| 10856 Paralyzation Ray |
| 10857 Such as yourself, Keldorn? |
| 10858 Humbly, ma'am, yes. |
| 10859 And the Order pays for your estate? |
| 10860 ...unlike some who take it upon themselves to criticize, we were not born into wealth and luxury. |
| 10861 Minor Spell Deflection |
| 10862 Minor Spell Deflection (Abjuration) Level: 3 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This spell is similar to the 6th-level spell Spell Deflection, which causes the spells cast against the wizard to be absorbed and consumed. This spell affects a total of 4 spell levels, including spells cast from scrolls and innate spell-like abilities, but excludes the following: area effects that are not centered directly upon the wizard, as well as area effects that are stationary, such as Cloudkill and Stinking Cloud. As long as the spell is cast directly at the wizard, it will be absorbed. This spell will only affect up to 7th-level spells, but if it tries to absorb a spell that goes over its limit, the spell will fail and the spell deflection will be canceled. For example, if there is only 1 level left and a 3rd-level spell is cast at the wizard, the spell will be absorbed while canceling the Spell Deflection. |
| 10863 And yet these halls and all your sacred vows are reserved only for us humans... Believe what lies you wish, Keldorn, but it shan't make them any truer. |

| 10865 When I was younger, I used to sing a little song that would make the brothers laugh... how did it go now, I wonder? |
| 10866 A question to you, Keldorn: Do good knights ever find cause to sing bawdy songs and tell ribald tales around a campfire, or is dourness an inarguable tenet of the Order? |
| 10867 I am bound. What doâ€â€who are you? Ah, I see... the master is gone, and you've managed to get yourselves in trouble. |
| 10868 Who are you that you've been bound in this flask? |
| 10869 I'm not sure that I understand what is going on here. Did you come out of this bottle? |

| 10872 Spell Turning (Abjuration) Level: 7 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This powerful Abjuration spell causes the spells cast against the wizard to rebound upon the original caster. This affects a total of 12 spell levelsâ€â€including spells cast from scrolls and innate spell-like abilitiesâ€â€but excludes the following: area effects that are not centered directly upon the wizard, as well as area effects that are stationary, such as Cloudkill and Stinking Cloud. As long as the spell is cast directly at the wizard, it will be reflected back upon the caster as long as there are levels remaining. For example, if there is only 1 level left and a 3rd-level spell is cast at the wizard, the spell will be reflected while canceling the Spell Turning. This spell will not protect the caster from Dispel Magic, but it will not be dispelled by Dispel Magic either. |
| 10873 Enslaved would be a more accurate word. I was captured in my home, on this Plane of Air, by some wizard. He bound me to this flask that I might guard his thingsâ€â€and something of yours. |

| 10889 Spell Deflection (Abjuration) Level: 6 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This powerful abjuration spell causes any spells cast against the wizard to be absorbed and consumed. This affects a total of 10 spell levels. This includes spells cast from scrolls and innate spell-like abilities, but excludes the following: area effects that are not centered directly upon the wizard, as well as area effects that are stationary, such as Cloudkill and Stinking Cloud.

For example, if there is only 1 level left and a 3rd-level spell is cast at the wizard, the spell will be absorbed while canceling the spell deflection. It is not affected by a Dispel Magic. |

| 10929 The prophecy of Sekolah The rebel leader has been killed and his heart given to the king of the sahuagin, who was quite pleased. He brought me to the entrance to the Underdark, which he says is my only way home, and rewarded me for the heart. High Priestess Senityili appeared after he left, angrily telling me that I have doomed the sahuagin to a slow death by killing the prince... obviously I was not the chosen of Sekolah, after all. Her mistake. |
| 10931 The prophecy of Sekolah I have turned High Priestess Senityili over to the king for her treachery... although he didn't reward me for it. She was butchered, and the king bade me to continue my task. |
| 10933 Getting inside the asylum I spoke to Sanik, a merchant who used to supply the asylum with components and provisions. He mentioned that he would not be doing that anymore, as he was leaving town quickly. Before he could tell me of a way inside, a man claiming to be sent by one Lady Galvena killed him. |

Now that I was "the Chosen One," I was to find the leader of some rebel movement and return his heart to the king. I refused, preferring to battle my way out of this mad place. |
| 10938 CLERIC: The Cleric is a generic priest (of any mythos) who tends to the spiritual needs of a community. The Cleric is both protector and healer, though <PRO_HESHE> is not totally defensive. CAUTION: Clerics may only use non-bladed, non-piercing weapons. If you have gained proficiencies in weapons other than these with your previous class, they will be LOST PERMANENTLY by dual-classing to Cleric. |
| 10939 DRUID: The Druid serves the cause of nature and neutrality; the wilderness is <PRO_HISHER> community and <PRO_HESHE> uses <PRO_HISHER> special powers to protect it and to preserve balance in the world. CAUTION: Druids may only use scimitars, daggers, clubs, spears, quarterstaves, darts, and slings. If you have gained proficiencies in weapons other than these with your previous class, they will be LOST PERMANENTLY by dual-classing to Druid. |
| 10940 MAGE: The wizard strives to be a master of magical energies, shaping them and casting them as spells. To do so, <PRO_HESHE> studies strange tongues and obscure facts and devotes much of <PRO_HISHER> time to magical research. A wizard must rely on knowledge and wit to survive. CAUTION: No matter what class a Mage is combined with, <PRO_HESHE> can NEVER cast spells while wearing armor. |
| 10941 THIEF: To accomplish <PRO_HISHER> goals, for good or ill, the Thief is a skilled pilferer. Cunning, nimbleness, and stealth are <PRO_HISHER> hallmarks. CAUTION: No matter what class a Thief is combined with, <PRO_HESHE> can NEVER use <PRO_HISHER> thieving abilities while wearing more than studded leather armor. |
| 10942 A wizard who concentrates his efforts in a single school of magic is called a specialist. The number of spells they can cast increases, but they lose the ability to cast spells of the school in opposition to their specialty. CAUTION: Regardless of what class they are combined with, mages cannot cast spells while wearing armor. |

| 10944 Chapter 5 Irenicus's plan was nothing more than to draw me into the asylum so that I could come under his power once again. He revealed to me that Imoen, of all people, was none other than a child of Bhaal herself... obviously the reason Gorion had taken her in along with myself. Irenicus had stolen away Imoen's divine soul already... and after performing a ritual, he did the same to me. All part of some plan of ultimate vengeance that he did not speak more on. I was to be disposed of by Bodhi, who allowed me a bit of a chase through the asylum dungeon, and I only survived by finding myself turned into Bhaal's avatar: the Slayer. With my soul gone, I cannot control the taint within me any longer. Getting out of the dungeon led me to freeing the asylum's inmates... and together with them, we were able to force Irenicus to retreat. It is a victory, but a hollow one... the mage is not defeated, still. And both Imoen and I are still without our souls... |

| 10985 Confusion (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 7 Sphere: Chaos Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 round/2 levels Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. This spell causes confusion in one or more creatures within the area, creating indecision and the inability to take effective action. All creatures within the area of effect are allowed Saving Throws vs. Spell with a -2 penalty. Those successfully saving are unaffected by the spell. Those who fail their Saving Throws will either go berserk, stand confused, or wander about for the duration of the spell. The spell lasts for 1 round for every two levels of the caster. Wandering creatures move as far from the caster as possible according to their most typical mode of movement (characters walk, fish swim, bats fly, etc.). Any confused creature that is attacked perceives the attacker as an enemy and acts according to its basic nature. |

| 10997 Regeneration (Necromancy) Level: 7 Sphere: Healing Range: Touch Duration: 1 round/2 levels Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This powerful spell enables the priest to imbue one creature with the ability to regenerate. This regeneration will heal any wounds and even regenerate lost limbs. The creature affected will regain 3 Hit Points per second. The effect lasts for 1 round per 2 levels of the caster or until dispelled. For example, a 14th-level priest would regenerate 18 Hit Points per round for 7 rounds. |
| 10998 Very well, I shall help you. What do I need to do? |
| 10999 That sounds like more trouble than it's worth. I don't think that I'm interested. |

| 11002 I cannot pinpoint its location from another plane. You shall have to search for it. Return to me when you have found it, and we shall exchange my freedom for your weapon. |

| 11014 Shield of the Archons |
| 11015 Shield of the Archons (Abjuration) Level: 7 Sphere: Protection Range: Touch Duration: 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This powerful abjuration spell causes the spells cast against the priest to be absorbed and consumed. This affects a total of spell levels equal to half the level of the caster. This includes spells cast from scrolls and innate spell-like abilities, but excludes the following: area effects that are not centered directly upon the priest, as well as area effects that are stationary, such as Cloudkill and Stinking Cloud. As long as the spell is cast directly at the priest, it will be absorbed provided that there are spell levels remaining. For example, if there is only 1 level left and a 3rd-level spell is cast at the priest, the spell will be absorbed while canceling the shield. |

| 11060 You're a man of the church, Keldorn. How can you stay so calm amidst such a constant display of magic in this group? I feel most unsettled at the sight of it. |
| 11062 I find it hard to believe that anything tainted with the scent of lichdom or Lavok's necromancy can lead to anything good. |
| 11063 Greetings, adventurers. |
| 11064 But don't we extend life and even return the dead to living with faithful incantations? Magic, god-borne or otherwise, is a tool. The user alone must be judged. |
| 11065 The fair folk will inherit the earth. |
| 11066 Aye, and ye can stride into the forefront, ye hound. I'll just hang around in the back awhile, truly enough. |
| 11067 I must say, ye bard, that I find the use of your musical abilities during combat to be most effective. Play on, I say! |
| 11068 Ahh, Cernd. Come to investigate for the Great Druid, have you? You may tell him that his way is dead. We are the druids of shadow, and he can do nothing. |
| 11069 We shall see, Faldorn. You are not invulnerable just yet, though I sense the filthy ritual you have performed. You drain from the land like some vile parasite. |
| 11070 Few of the fair folk concern themselves with the affairs of the state. |
| 11071 A name I remember for some reason, though not one I fear. Do you make claim to know better than Faldorn what should be done here? |
| 11072 I make claim that you are an affront to all nature. You are a disruption that will not be allowed, and I will fight with the power of my faith and conviction. |
| 11073 I hardly thought I'd see you timid, Haer'Dalis. |
| 11074 More bored than timid, Lord Keldorn. With your blade a'glittering in the sun like that, you leave few foes for me to challenge. |
| 11077 Yes? |

| 11100 But you must help us get free of this... creature Irenicus! |
| 11101 Sorry, friend, but you've got a date down under. |
| 11102 I'll crush your face, I will! Make you dead and done! |
| 11103 I'd rather we just skip the small talk and get right to the killin'. |
| 11104 If you start runnin', you might just make it home alive. |
| 11105 Fear my wrath, for it is great indeed. |
| 11106 Draw your daggers and spells, and let's have at her! |

| 11112 Yes, friend? |
| 11113 Can I assist you? |
| 11114 Something you require? |
| 11115 Greetings. |
| 11116 Pleasure to meet you. |
| 11117 Salutations. |
| 11118 Yes? |
| 11119 Hello there. |
| 11120 How are you? |
| 11121 What's your tale? |
| 11122 What? |
| 11123 It may be a touch unladylike, but I'm gonna slit your throat, I am! |
| 11124 Looks like I'll be ending your life where you stand. |
| 11125 Best you make peace with your demons before I send you to meet 'em! |
| 11126 Your end shall be quick, if ya let it. |
| 11127 Methinks you'll be pushin' up daisies before the eve is through. |
| 11128 Your life means nothing to me. |
| 11129 Your screams shall be music to my ears. |
| 11130 Dead gonna drag you under when I'm done. |
| 11131 I shall strike you dead! |
| 11132 You will die! I'll make double sure of it! |
| 11133 Hello, child. Shall we continue your lessons? |
| 11134 Never let your warrior shoot the food. |
| 11135 Please, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! His dungeon is death all around! |
| 11136 He has kidnapped us and kept us here for more time than I can count. |
| 11137 Nay, good man, they flee not from the brightness of my sword but from the sheer wretchedness of your playing! |
| 11138 Ha! 'Twill be music to my ears to wrap this lute about your head someday, my aging hound. Now go out there with your blade once again and make yourself useful, aye? |
| 11139 I will speak for myself! Faldorn, you perpetrate gross crimes here! You are unfit! I challenge you, and by the rites laid down ages ago, you cannot refuse! |
| 11140 Of course I do, Aerie. What is it? |
| 11141 What makes you think I would wish to refuse? I took this grove by force, and I shall keep it in the same manner. Did you think I would retreat? Oh no, Cernd, this is your end. Prepare! |
| 11142 Keldorn, do... do you have a moment? |
| 11143 How can I help you? |
| 11144 Hello! Nice to make the acquaintance of such a cultured personage. |
| 11145 I've no interest in speaking to the likes of you. Hmph! |
| 11148 Glad to meet you, friend. |
| 11149 Leave us alone, will ya? Nothin' for you here. |
| 11152 'Ey, friend! Good to meet a fine sod such as yerself. |
| 11153 Bugger off! It'll be a blade fer your backside elsewise! |
| 11156 A pleasure to meet a socially acceptable person such as yourself. |
| 11157 Still, I care not. Goodbye. |
| 11158 Touch me not! You are... unclean. |
| 11161 Pleased to make your acquaintance. |
| 11162 Leave me be, or the guard will have you. |
| 11165 'Allo, mate! You look a friendly face. |
| 11166 You'll feel the sting o' my boot if you bother me further! |

| 11170 You will accept this challenge, and we will proceed! I will not have this place remain in your "care"! By the Great Mother, you will not leave the duel alive! |
| 11171 You must excuse me, ladies. I have no time to speak with you. |
| 11172 Please stay and help us! We must escape from this... this Irenicus! |
| 11173 You are mistaken, of course. I revel in the combat of the rituals, and I welcome the chance to end your miserable existence. Come to your death! |
| 11174 If you can escape, you must take our acorns to the Queen. Tell her of our plight in this creature's lair. |

| 11195 Take them to the Fairy Queen who lives in the south end of the Windspear Hills. This will be our deliverance from this... this Irenicus and his dungeon! |
| 11196 You can foil his plans for us at least. If you take the acorns to the Fairy Queen, then she can regrow our trees and free us! |
| 11197 Salutations! I have come looking for someone to deliver a gift. A horn, actually. |
| 11198 We'll travel with you, all right! Right. To the garrison! You'll get the punishment you deserve, murderer! |

| 11203 You have come back! Such insolence matched only by stupidity! Even the smallest-brained of nature's creatures learn from pain, but you insist on provoking me! |
| 11204 The scourge has been purged? I can tell that the deed is done, for even now the land sighs relief. This has been a great service to nature, and she shall not forget. |
| 11205 Harm |
| 11207 Now to repair the land after the ritual that Faldorn performed. Her invulnerability was at great cost; her loss will cause the land to suffer immeasurably. |
| 11208 Then I bear a message for you as well. |
| 11211 I will be happy to help you. |
| 11212 I will help you if you help me. I am looking for a flask in order to free a djinni who is trapped in the Plane of Air. Have you seen one? |
| 11213 I refuse to help you. |
| 11214 I... Quayle taught me to be a cleric, butâ€â€but I know so little of the world... He taught me to worship Baervan Wildwanderer, god of the gnomes... |
| 11215 Baervan Wildwanderer: the Masked Leaf, the Forest Gnome. I have heard of him, but know little. I have dedicated my studies to the human pantheon, I fear. |
| 11216 Verthan will serve as challenge master and Great Druid until all the healing is done. His reverence for the land will not allow him to be corrupted. |
| 11217 Why do you not simply leave? You do not seem to be chained or caged as I was. |
| 11218 When the scars are healed, things will be as they were... or very nearly. A new Great Druid will need to be chosen. More turmoil ahead, but for now we can rest. |
| 11219 What of you, <CHARNAME>? Are you off to travel? If ever you need help, you may find me standing amidst the beauty of nature that is our druid grove. |
| 11220 Please do not forget about us! I have been so long away from the sun! I do not know how much longer I can stand it... |

| 11249 A fine pairing, I think. Come, there is much to see. |
| 11250 I regret that I cannot help you. |
| 11251 I look forward to our next meeting. |
| 11252 Of course, Cernd. I know where to find you. |
| 11253 Wrong? No, to some you be the ideal. You have dedicated yourself to the church in all its forms and to that purest form: your own heart. |
| 11254 If you will not help us, then we will take your human male until you change your mind. Please! We do not want to have to do this. |
| 11255 Some of my finest work! |
| 11256 My heart? |
| 11257 Your life has not been easy, Aerie, but it has taught you much, in its own way. |
| 11258 Unless you agree to help us, you cannot have your man back. |
| 11259 All right, how can I help you? |
| 11260 I will merely kill you to free my friend. |

| 11266 Our trees will die, too! |
| 11267 Oh, thank you, Keldorn... One of these days, you'll have to teach me all the things you say I've learned. |
| 11268 Talking to you ain't worth the risk, no <SIRMAAM>. Go away... please? |
| 11269 This way, good sir, over here! |
| 11270 This oddly murky oil would appear to increase the movement and combat capabilities of the imbiber by 100%.

| 11367 He uses Her key. He still loves her, you see. He keeps her room just as it was, though well protected. We go there sometimes and look at her things. |
| 11368 Acknowledged and accounted forâ€â€as serious as a turnip blight in winter. Nasty rotten thing, that is... Keldorn, have you ever considered renting out your services as a turnip healer? You would be more than popular, I assure you. |
| 11369 The abilities granted me by my faith are not for sale, especially not for something as foolish and asâ€â€as vegetal as aâ€â€a turnip! |
| 11370 You remind me of a top my great-uncle on my father's side made for me as a child. You just wound it up and let it goâ€â€it was as if it had an "auto-wobble" setting or some such thing. So, are we ready for adventuring, everybody? |
| 11371 Oh, never mind. I'll stand elsewhere, gnome, lest your constant talk put me to sleep. |

| 11394 It is too much of a bother. |
| 11395 Then I thank the gods you do not have your choice more often. Your opinions run often towards the brash, my dear. |
| 11396 I am Harper, Keldorn, I am discreet when I wish. I just find other methods to be... more effective. Now, may I suggest you keep your next thoughts to yourself? |
| 11397 Ah... yes... aye, m'lady. |
| 11398 I urge you to reconsider the sheltering of this drow! However desperate be our mission, we make it worse by sheltering a demon such as her! |

| 11405 Aye, I do, drow. And if you last another day within this party, I shall do us all a favor and spit you on my blade. |

| 11440 I will help you. What do you wish me to do? |
| 11441 I will help you if you will help me. I am looking for a flask in order to free a djinni who is trapped in the Plane of Air. Have you seen one? |
| 11442 I refuse to help you. |
| 11443 I cannot help you. |
| 11444 You have returned, <RACE>. Is there something else that you require of us? |
| 11445 I require nothing else. I must return to my search for an exit. |
| 11446 Could you repeat the advice that you gave me earlier? |
| 11447 I search for a flask in order to free a djinni. Have you seen such a thing? |
| 11448 Ah, yes, I see Madeen has proven to be his faithful self, as usual. How do you do, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, considering the city is so harsh on strangers, eh? |
| 11449 You must use Irenicus's portals to travel up to the next level of the complex. The portals must be triggered by a certain key. |
| 11450 He uses Her key. He still loves her, you see. He keeps her room just as it was, though well protected. We go there sometimes and look at her things. |
| 11451 You have returned, <RACE>. Is there something else that you require of us? |
| 11452 I require nothing else. I must return to my search for an exit. |
| 11453 Could you repeat the advice that you gave me earlier? |
| 11454 I search for a flask that will free a djinni trapped by your master in the Plane of Air. Have you seen such a thing? |
| 11455 You have returned, <RACE>. Is there something else that you require of us? |
| 11456 I require nothing else. I must return to my search for an exit. |
| 11457 Could you repeat the advice that you gave me earlier? |
| 11458 I search for a flask that will free a djinni trapped by your master in the Plane of Air. Have you any such thing? |
| 11459 Ghoul Lord |
| 11460 You have my welcome to my little piece of this place! I do so try to keep it more appealing than the rest. |
| 11461 A difficult life you must lead, my friend... always having battle and worry thrust upon you, never in the possession of sanctuary. I miss it, truly, the little that I have known of home and the Order. |
| 11462 We have no time for sanctuary, Keldorn... there is much to be done. |
| 11463 There is no such thing as sanctuary, Keldorn. I learned that long ago in a place called Candlekeep. |
| 11464 Sanctuary of some kind would be a welcome relief. I wouldn't mind some safety and rest myself. |
| 11465 Aye... but everything I've become and gained I've done through blood and tears. Seems to me times were once simpler than that. |
| 11466 My thanks. How is it that you know my name? What is going on here? |
| 11467 I have escaped. I now wonder what part you had in my capture. |
| 11468 You have an angry ambivalence about you, as if your very soul clings to some contested ground within you... is it something you wish to talk about? |
| 11469 You must excuse me, but I haven't the time to speak with you right now. |
| 11470 I know, I've... I've heard you talk of it... Something about that place divided you, didn't it...? |
| 11471 As to easing your mind and answering such questions as those that surely plague you, it is not my place to do so. I am sorry. |
| 11472 I've always had the sense that you are searching desperately for a touchstone of some sort: something solid to which you might cling... |
| 11473 I care little for your excuses. Answer my questions or feel my wrath. |
| 11474 Then of what use can you be to me? |
| 11475 It seems that you have no wish to assist me. That being the case, farewell. |
| 11476 Worry not, <GABBER>, I did so enjoy your blundering about Baldur's Gate. I did not wish to see you captured. |
| 11477 Oh, things were never simple. There was a time when we lacked the sophistication to see exactly how much of a mess we were really in. Take you, for instance. |
| 11478 The nature of my soul is my own business, Keldorn. Do not to ask such things again. |
| 11479 Nonsense and rubbish. You read too much into me, Keldorn. |
| 11480 My father was a god of the dark pantheon. A little ambivalence can be forgiven, can it not? |
| 11481 I am a seed of Bhaal. I must bear the stigma myself. Remain at my side, and that shall be help enough. |

| 11495 Sorry. |

| 11497 Tombelthen's Journal (first half) |
| 11498 Yes, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>... but think on it awhile. I cannot stand by and watch a friend consumed by <PRO_HISHER> own pain. |
| 11499 If you are not my captor, then what do you want from me? Can you assist me? |
| 11500 I speak what truths I see, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>... Think on it awhile, for my sake if not for yours... |
| 11501 It seems that you have no wish to assist me. That being the case, farewell. |
| 11502 Ha! You threaten me? I had not foreseen this... excellent! |
| 11503 What do you mean by foreseen? What are you babbling about? |
| 11504 I tire of your games. I shall return to looking for an exit. |
| 11505 The greatest peril of ambivalence is that it is temporary. When you fall from it, I... I pray you fall towards the light, <CHARNAME>... |
| 11506 Such assistance as you will get from me depends on yourself. Are you prepared to answer a question? |
| 11507 To what end? Why do you need to ask me a question? |
| 11508 The future, the past, the present. All of these things and nothing. Tell me <GABBER>, are you prepared to answer a question? |
| 11509 Alone, I am no match for the essence of a dark god, but that is where faith comes in, is it not? Come, friend, let us forge a path of light into this world. |
| 11510 I will answer your question if it leads to you making some sense. |
| 11511 I will answer none of your questions. |
| 11512 To what end? Why do you need to ask me a question? |
| 11513 I will answer your question if it leads to you making some sense. |
| 11514 I will answer none of your questions. |
| 11515 I suffer a terrible curiosity; I see paths that branch in a thousand directions, and each a thousand again, but for all I see, <CHARNAME> remains a mystery. |
| 11516 All I wish is a single answer. Tip the scales this once to me, and I shall tip them to you in return. Shall you answer me or shall you strike out on your own? |
| 11517 I cannot allow the essence of Bhaal to manifest itself in a soul that holds no love of good... Forgive me, but it is time we faced each other. |
| 11518 Then here is my hypothetical question: You and your sibling are captured and locked in separate cells, unable to communicate. The mage responsible appears and speaks. |
| 11519 I will answer your question if it will lead to your making sense. |
| 11520 I will answer none of your questions. |
| 11521 If both of you press your respective buttons, both of you will die. The mage says that you have one turn of the hourglass to decide your action. Then he leaves. |
| 11522 If your faith demands it. I thank you for the service you tried to render. |
| 11523 Tell me, <GABBER>, do you press the button? |
| 11524 I will press the button. |
| 11525 I will not press the button. |
| 11526 I don't know. |
| 11527 A knife in the back? So much for your talk of seeing this quest through unto the end. |
| 11528 Interesting. No action can be performed without consequences. Especially that which follows the noble path. Deal with this, noble one! |
| 11529 Then ready your blade, paladin, and prepare to fight the very child of a god. |
| 11530 A single act does not evil's minion make. I am the same <CHARNAME> I was a day ago. |
| 11531 It has come at a price, but one I would pay again... To the death then, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>, and perhaps we'll meet again on some distant future plane. |
| 11532 This is the end, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. It always was... My destiny demands it as much as yours. |
| 11533 My blade has been ready all my life... Forgive me, but if there be godly blood in you, then I must spill it. It is my destiny and always was. |
| 11534 Old friends we have become, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>, I shall not argue, but balance has tipped, and if it takes either my death or yours to set it aright, then so be it. |
| 11535 Bit by bit and little by little, thus does innate goodness conquer the blood of an evil god. |
| 11536 Truly? I had not thought you to be a coward until this day. Mingle with your brethren, coward. I shall test your mettle! |
| 11537 Yes, but it is a private struggle, Keldorn. Please, let us not spend every hour in contemplation of it. |
| 11538 What does the church have to say about us godlings, Keldorn? Is there any hope for us? |
| 11539 I... I should think so! |

I am to go to the home of a merchant named Vulova and kill him... and leave a cloak and dagger she has given me in the man's fountain. The man's home is in the Government District between the jail and the government building. Once that is done, I must return to her. |

| 11549 I will press the button. |
| 11550 I will not press the button. |
| 11551 I refuse to answer the question. |
| 11552 There's no sense in flattery, Keldorn. Goodness is learned and earned and struggled for, not innate, and you know that as well as I. |
| 11553 As you wish, though there are times when I cannot help but celebrate on your behalf. |
| 11554 Will there be a new god of murder? Will you and your siblings enter into some new pantheon? Are you destined for the Abyss? I wish I knew, <CHARNAME>. |

| 11569 When asked about her past, MAZZY proudly states that she has spent numerous years adventuring around Amn with her other halfling comrades, basing out of her home town of Trademeet. The thought of Patrick and her other companions and their fates brings a shadow across her face, however. Mazzy is a dedicated servant of Arvoreen, the halfling god of war, and she resents the common perception by the bigger races that the stout folk cannot defend themselves or act with valor. If she could, Mazzy would be a paladin and battle against evil in Faerûn with the full power of her god to aid her. |

| 11583 The question comes down to time and opportunity. Cyric was hunting him, after all... You are a haunted clan, I fear. |

| 11593 Silence yourself! I've no time to speak with... "pickled" men today. |
| 11594 I have no idea where the master is, and if he is the one who imprisoned me, he'd best not come within reach. |
| 11595 He was my friend, I think... cast out, and one of us no longer... I cannot remember... Are you to take my place? |
| 11596 It is difficult to... to remember... I was Rielev... dead, I think. |
| 11597 Suspended, I be... I am... dying... dead. No matter, I must be your cruel dream as you are mine. |
| 11598 Strangers be ye? Aaaa... things have gone... bad... since I have died. Threaten not the master, for you shall... surely... perish... Driven is he, and power he seeks... |
| 11599 Are you dead or living? I don't understand what is happening here. |
| 11600 I will threaten who I wish, you freak! You are dead anyway and not worth my time. |

| 11622 Prisoners be ye? Truly I have been... dead, but not dead too long. I seek... release... I have been alone for... too long. The master can take nothing more... I am forgotten. |
| 11623 What do you mean by "forgotten"? Why are you in this... jar? |
| 11624 What release do you seek? Can I be of assistance? |
| 11625 This doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I shall find my own way out. |
| 11626 Neither, neither. I am... between... the master has forgotten me... not killed me. |
| 11627 Are you dead or living? I don't understand what is happening here. |
| 11628 What do you mean by "forgotten"? Why are you in this... jar? |
| 11629 Is it true death that you wish? You wish me to release you from this state of non-death? |
| 11630 This doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I shall find my own way out. |
| 11631 Please! I am alone here. For too long, alone. If you must... escape... release me... |
| 11632 Eternal... life... was to be my reward for faithful service. The master has suspended me until he can cure me... return my youth to me... |

| 11644 When asked about his past, ANOMEN is quick to state that he has been serving the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart for years, and after his Test, he will be a full and true knight. Anomen is reluctant, however, to speak of his noble upbringing, saying only that he entered the Order without the support of his father, Lord Cor Delryn. Since he could not be sponsored as a squire, Anomen chose the route of the warrior and priest of Helm, the god of guardians, and has fought many battles over the years against forces of evil. Anomen often says that he is confident that he will prove worthy of his knighthood, but sometimes seems to be trying to convince himself of that fact more than anyone. |
| 11645 Getting inside the asylum It was easy to convince Desharik that I was crazy. Between Minsc and his hamster, Desharik was all too willing to have me thrown in the asylum. I am to be admitted forthwith, and then I shall find out what has happened to Imoen and Irenicus both! |

| 11722 Chapter 6 Leaving Spellhold and following Irenicus and Bodhi, I ended up in the Underdark. There I learned that the pair had contrived to steal the eggs of Adalon, a silver dragon... and had bargained them to the dark elves in return for passage and perhaps a service I am unaware of. The dragon disguised me as a drow so that I could infiltrate Ust Natha, and through her efforts and mine, I was able to survive the Underdark, learning a bit of Irenicus and his plan along the way. As near as I can figure, the actions of Irenicus nullified Adalon's influence as the guardian of an elven temple, and though the drow care little for conquest above ground, it has allowed them to deliver an insulting blow to the surface elves. The drow have now destroyed a very ancient and symbolic elven holy site, drawing a large elven force to secure the area and retaliate if necessary. Many have died on either side. Obviously, Irenicus plans to use the carnage to his advantage... but how? |
| 11723 I need a swig o' some strong, dwarven ale. |
| 11724 I wish I had my old tobacco pipe. |
| 11725 I prefer to attack more directly, but a trap will do for now. |

| 11803 I am sorry. Is there some way that I can help you? |
| 11804 He has forgotten you then, hasn't he...? But if you were a faithful servant, why? |
| 11805 This is pointless. I must return to the task of escaping. |
| 11806 Aaaah! The burning! |
| 11807 Please give me the statue, master! Aaah, the pain crawls along my skin! Aid me, master! The djinni must have magic, must have something! Oh, please, the pain! Aaaaah! |
| 11808 He has forgotten because he does not wish to remember... what was taken... I barely remember myself. |

| 11847 This appears to be the claw of some great beast, perhaps a dragon of sorts. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 11848 Little is known about this item, other than that the claw itself was taken from the corpse of the great beast Kazgaroth. It has multiple enchantments that all become activated when the claw is worn as a ring. The image of the wearer becomes blurred and more difficult to hit with weapons or target with spells. It has one drawback, however, as it seems to fuel its power with the blood of its wearer. Because of this, the wearer of the claw will often be more sickly and therefore more susceptible to poisons. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Constitution: -2 – Armor Class: +1, an extra +4 vs. missile attacks – Save vs. Death: -3 – Save vs. Wand: +3 – Save vs. Polymorph: +3 – Save vs. Breath: +3 – Save vs. Spell: +3 – May only be removed with a Remove Curse spell Weight: 1 |
| 11849 This seems to be the horn of some monster. It is blackened and twisted. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 11850 This horn is thought to be made from one of the tusks of the great beast Kazgaroth. Who imbued it with enchantments is unknown, but it is a very potent item. When blown upon, no sound issues from the horn. Instead the user of the horn is encased in a globe of power for a short duration. The bubble gives the user partial Magic Resistance and a Saving Throw bonus, as well as partially deflecting incoming missile attacks. The effect only lasts 3 rounds, and the horn draws from the life force of the user every time it is used. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Immunity to 1st and 2nd-level spells – Armor Class: +5 vs. missile attacks – Save vs. Death: +2 – Save vs. Wand: +2 – Save vs. Polymorph: +2 – Save vs. Breath: +2 – Save vs. Spell: +2 – Damage done to user: Unknown Weight: 1 |

| 11862 This master has left you imprisoned in a bottle? What manner of person would do such a thing? |
| 11863 You have long been the friend of <CHARNAME>. You have found living in Candlekeep to be stifling, and have long nurtured the dream of becoming an adventurer.

| 11872 Journey to the Windspear Hills It appears I have been tricked into killing a group of paladins. They wore illusions that masked them, disguising them as ogres, and apparently I appeared the same to them. The Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart will surely take exception to this act, and I have only one witness to the event to say otherwise. I have accepted his offer of shelter at his cabin, a short distance south of where the killings took place. |

| 11881 I beg your forgiveness, master, but did you not leave the cell key at the table in the jailor's room? |

| 11890 Gwwwaaa... Master? Master, is that you? I can barely see. It has been so long, and I have been so alone. All alone. |

| 11892 Yes, it is the master. Are you all right? |

| 11896 I was not trying to steal anything of the mistress's. I would never do thatâ€â€I am faithful to you always! Why am I here, master? What has happened to me? |
| 11897 You do not hear me, do you? How very sad what has been done to you. |
| 11898 The dawn is especially cruel this morning. |
| 11899 You will not last long on your own with your meager equipment. Perhaps you can get some help from the friends Gorion mentioned, the ones at the Friendly Arm. |
| 11900 I have no desire to continue to listen to you. Enough. |
| 11901 Was I hurt in the mistress's room, master? I can remember nothing. Is the mistress's room truly so deadly? I am sorry, so sorry. I will never do it again, master. Please save me! Please! |
| 11902 Wh-what?! By the Exile, the prisoners have escaped! Between invading thieves and the loss of <CHARNAME>, the master will not be pleased. Come, gray ones, we must be stopping them! |
| 11903 Ah, excellent. I see I am to be provided fresh blood, for once. |
| 11904 Getting inside the asylum The barkeep at the Vulgar Monkey suggested that the only way to get inside the courtesans' guild house would be to employ one of their courtesans or to go up against Galvena's well-trained guards and pet wizard. My choice. |

| 11907 NO! Pooky... aughh! |
| 11908 I am given little choice, my succulent mortal. I am imprisoned here to serve the task of guardian. You shall proceed no further. |

| 12135 Gender |
| 12136 Class |
| 12137 Level <LEVEL> |
| 12138 Healing |
| 12140 Armor (Conjuration) Level: 1 Range: 0 Duration: 9 hours Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None By means of this spell, the wizard creates a magical field of force that serves as if it were scale mail armor (AC 6). It is cumulative with Dexterity bonuses to Armor Class and, in the case of Fighter/Mages, with the shield bonus. The Armor spell does not hinder movement, adds no weight or encumbrance, and doesn't prevent spellcasting. It lasts until successfully dispelled or until its duration expires. |
| 12141 Burning Hands (Alteration) Level: 1 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: 1/2 When the wizard casts this spell, a jet of searing flame shoots from <PRO_HISHER> fingertips. The wizard's hands must be held so as to send forth a fanlike sheet of flames: <PRO_HISHER> thumbs must touch each other and the fingers must be spread. The burning hands send out flame jets of 5 ft. length in a horizontal arc of about 120 degrees in front of the wizard. Any creature in the area of the flames suffers 1d3 points of damage, +2 points for each level of the caster, to a maximum of 1d3+20 points of fire damage. Those successfully saving vs. Spell receive half damage. |
| 12142 Mirror Image (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 2 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None When a Mirror Image spell is invoked, the caster causes from 2 to 8 exact duplicates of <PRO_HIMHER>self to come into being around <PRO_HIMHER>. These images do exactly what the wizard does. Since the spell causes a blurring and slight distortion when cast, it is impossible for opponents to be certain which are the illusions and which is the actual wizard. When an image is struck by a melee or missile attackâ€â€magical or otherwiseâ€â€it disappears, but any other existing images remain intact until they are struck. However, it is important to note that this will not protect the caster against every attack, as it is possible for an enemy to choose the real caster amongst all the images. |
| 12143 Shadow Door (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: 9 rounds + 1 round/level after 9th Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None By means of this spell, the wizard creates the illusion of a door. The illusion also permits the wizard to appear to step through this "door" and disappear. In reality, <PRO_HESHE> has darted aside and can flee, totally invisible (as per the Improved Invisibility spell), for the spell's duration. A True Seeing spell, a Gem of Seeing, or similar magical means can reveal the wizard. |
| 12144 Wraithform (Alteration, Illusion) Level: 3 Range: 0 Duration: 2 rounds/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, the wizard and all of <PRO_HISHER> gear become insubstantial. The caster is subject only to magical or special attacks, including those by weapons of +1 or better enchantment, or by creatures otherwise able to affect those struck only by magical weapons. The wizard also gains 25% resistance to magic damage. While in wraithform, the caster cannot cast either arcane or divine spells. |
| 12145 Remove Magic (Abjuration) Level: 3 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None This is the combat version of Dispel Magic; it will only affect opponents. A Remove Magic dispels the magical effects upon any enemies within the area. This includes effects given from spells, potions, and certain magical items such as wands. It does not, however, affect enchanted magical items. The chance of the dispel succeeding is determined by the level of the caster and the level of the magic being dispelled. The base chance of successfully dispelling is 50%. For every level that the caster of Remove Magic is above the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success increases by 5%. For every level that the caster of Remove Magic is below the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success decreases by 10%. However, despite the difference in levels, there is always at least a 1% chance of success or failure. Thus, if a caster is 10 levels higher than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 1% chance of failure. Similarly, if the caster is 4 levels lower than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 10% chance of success. Intuitively, this spell is almost useless if the target is 5 or more levels higher than the caster. Note: While this spell dispels the individual effects of Grease, Web, Stinking Cloud, and other such spells, it does not dispel the area of effect. |
| 12146 Minor Globe of Invulnerability (Abjuration) Level: 4 Range: 0 Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 5-ft. radius sphere Saving Throw: None This spell creates a faintly shimmering magical sphere around the caster that prevents any 1st-, 2nd-, or 3rd-level spell effects from penetrating (i.e., the area of effect of any such spells does not include the area of the Minor Globe of Invulnerability). This includes innate abilities and effects from devices. However, any type of spell can be cast out of the magical sphere, and these pass from the caster of the globe to their subject without affecting the globe. Spells of 4th level or higher are not affected by the globe. |

| 12153 Ghost Armor (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 3 Range: 0 Duration: 1 hour Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None By means of this spell, the wizard creates a magical field of force that serves as if it were field plate armor (AC 2). It is cumulative with Dexterity bonuses to Armor Class and, in the case of Fighter/Mages, with the shield's bonus.

Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special A Grease spell covers a material surface with a slippery layer of a fatty, greasy nature.

Duration: 2 hours Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Upon the casting of this spell the recipient gains the ability to see with infravision, just as an elf or a dwarf would.

| 12163 Detect Invisibility (Divination) Level: 2 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 70-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When the wizard casts a Detect Invisibility spell, <PRO_HESHE> is able to see clearly any objects or beings that are invisible, as well as any that are astral, ethereal, or out of phase. In addition, this spell enables the wizard to detect hidden or concealed creatures (e.g., Thieves hiding in shadows, halflings in underbrush, and so on). It does not reveal the method of concealment or invisibility, except in the case of astral travelers (where the silver cord can be seen). It does not reveal illusions or enable the caster to see through physical objects. Note: If an invisible creature enters the area of effect after the spell has already been cast, the creature will remain invisible. |
| 12164 Know Alignment (Divination) Level: 2 Range: 30 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. A Know Alignment spell enables the Mage to exactly read the aura of a creature. If the creature rolls a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell, the caster learns nothing about that particular creature from the casting. When a character is hit by this spell, he will glow red if evil, green if good, and white if neutral. Certain magical devices negate the power of the Know Alignment spell. |
| 12165 Charm Person (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 1 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 5 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 person Saving Throw: Neg. This spell affects any single person it is cast upon. The term person includes any bipedal human, demihuman, or humanoid of man-size or smaller, such as brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be charmed, but an ogre could not. The person is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell to negate the effect. If the spell's recipient fails his Saving Throw (with a +3 modifier), he regards the caster as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. The caster may give him orders, and the charmed individual will carry them out as quickly as possible. If the caster harmsâ€â€or attempts to harmâ€â€the charmed person by some overt action, or if a Dispel Magic spell is cast upon the charmed person, the Charm spell is broken. If two or more Charms simultaneously affect a creature, the most recent Charm takes precedence. Note that the subject has full memory of the events that took place while he was charmed. Also note that you cannot have a charmed creature leave the area where he is charmed. |
| 12166 Confusion (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 4 Range: 35 ft. Duration: 5 rounds + 1 round/6 levels Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. This spell causes confusion in one or more creatures within the area, creating indecision and the inability to take effective action. All creatures within the area of effect are allowed Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -2 penalty. Those successfully saving are unaffected by the spell, whereas those who fail their Saving Throws will either go berserk, stand confused, or wander about for the duration of the spell. Wandering creatures move as far from the caster as possible, according to their most typical mode of movement (characters walk, fish swim, bats fly, etc.). Any confused creature that is attacked perceives the attacker as an enemy and acts according to its basic nature. The spell lasts for 5 rounds plus 1 round every 6 levels of the caster. |
| 12167 Confusion (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 4 Range: 35 ft. Duration: 5 rounds + 1 round/6 levels Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. This spell causes confusion in one or more creatures within the area, creating indecision and the inability to take effective action. All creatures within the area of effect are allowed Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -2 penalty. Those successfully saving are unaffected by the spell, whereas those who fail their Saving Throws will either go berserk, stand confused, or wander about for the duration of the spell. Wandering creatures move as far from the caster as possible, according to their most typical mode of movement (characters walk, fish swim, bats fly, etc.). Any confused creature that is attacked perceives the attacker as an enemy and acts according to its basic nature. The spell lasts for 5 rounds plus 1 round every 6 levels of the caster. |
| 12168 Dire Charm (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 3 Range: 60 ft. Duration: 5 rounds Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. This spell works in the exact same manner as Charm Person, with one difference: There is no Saving Throw bonus. Dire Charm affects any single person it is cast upon. The term person includes any bipedal human, demihuman, or humanoid of man-size or smaller, such as brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be charmed, but an ogre could not. The person is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell to negate the effect. If the spell's recipient fails <PRO_HISHER> Saving Throw, <PRO_HESHE> regards the caster as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. The caster may give <PRO_HIMHER> orders, and the charmed individual will carry them out as quickly as possible. If the caster harmsâ€â€or attempts to harmâ€â€the charmed person by some overt action, or if a Dispel Magic spell is cast upon the charmed person, the Dire Charm spell is broken. If two or more Charms simultaneously affect a creature, the most recent Charm takes precedence. Note that the subject has full memory of the events that took place while <PRO_HESHE> was charmed. Also note that you cannot have a charmed creature leave the area where <PRO_HESHE> is charmed. |
| 12169 Friends (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 1 Range: 0 Duration: 1d4 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None A Friends spell causes the wizard to temporarily gain 6 points of Charisma. Those who view the caster tend to be very impressed with <PRO_HIMHER> and make an effort to be <PRO_HISHER> friends and help <PRO_HIMHER>, as appropriate to the situation. Officious bureaucrats might decide to become helpful; surly gate guards might wax informative; attacking orcs might spare the caster's life, taking <PRO_HIMHER> captive instead. |
| 12170 Hold Person (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 3 Range: 35 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature and any enemy within 7.5 ft. Saving Throw: Neg. This spell holds 1d4 humans, demihumans, or humanoid creatures rigidly immobile and in place for five or more rounds. The Hold Person spell affects any bipedal human, demihuman, or humanoid of mansize or smaller, including brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be held, while an ogre could not. The effect is centered on the victim selected by the caster. Every enemy within 7.5 ft. of the target is also affected. Those who save vs. Spell at -1 are totally unaffected by the spell. Undead creatures cannot be held. Held creatures cannot move or speak, but they remain aware of events around them and can use abilities not requiring motion or speech. Being held does not prevent the worsening of the subjects' condition due to wounds, disease, or poison. |
| 12171 Luck (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 2 Range: 15 ft. Duration: 3 rounds Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None The recipient of this spell gains extraordinary luck for the next 3 rounds, receiving a +1 bonus to <PRO_HISHER> Saving Throws, attack rolls, and minimum damage/healing rolls as well as +5% to all thieving skills. Furthermore, damage dice for all effects outside a weapon's base damage is reduced by 1. For example, a 6d6 fireball will do 6d5 damage, and a flaming long sword that deals 1d8+2 slashing plus 1d3 fire damage will deal 1d8+2 slashing plus 1d2 fire damage instead. |
| 12172 Sleep (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 1 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 5 rounds/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. When a wizard casts a Sleep spell, <PRO_HESHE> causes a comatose slumber to come upon one or more enemies (other than undead and certain other creatures specifically excluded from the spell's effects). All creatures to be affected by the Sleep spell must be within a 30-ft. radius. Creatures in the area of effect must make a Saving Throw vs. Death with a -3 penalty or fall asleep. Monsters with 5 Hit Dice or more are unaffected. Attacks against sleeping opponents never miss. |

Duration: 1 round Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 2-ft. by 15-ft. jet Saving Throw: None Upon casting this spell, a jet of flame appears at the caster's fingertips and bursts out toward one target of the caster's choice. That target will be hit by this flame for 3d6 points of damage. The flame jet strikes a second time halfway through its duration, and the caster may move while the spell is in effect. There is no Saving Throw against this spell, though anti-fire capabilities such as Fire Resistance will apply and may reduce or eliminate the damage. |
| 12174 Chromatic Orb (Evocation) Level: 1 Range: 90 ft. Duration: Special Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special This spell causes a 2-ft. diameter sphere to appear in the caster's hand. When thrown, the sphere heads unerringly to its target. The effect the orb has upon the target varies with the level of the caster. Each orb will do damage to the target against which there is no save and an effect against which the target must save vs. Spell with a +6 bonus: 1st Level: 1d4 damage and blinds the target for 1 round. 2nd Level: 1d4 damage and inflicts pain (-1 penalty to Strength, Dexterity, AC, and THAC0) upon the victim. 3rd Level: 1d6 damage and burns the victim for an additional 1d8 damage. 4th Level: 1d6 damage and blinds the target for 1 turn. 5th Level: 1d8 damage and stuns the target for 3 rounds. 6th Level: 1d8 damage and causes weakness (-4 penalty to THAC0) in the victim. 7th Level: 1d10 damage and paralyzes the victim for 2 turns. 10th Level: 1d12 acid damage and turns the victim to stone. 12th Level: 2d8 acid damage and instantly kills the victim.

Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special This spell generates a billowing cloud of ghastly, yellowish green vapors that is so toxic as to slay any creature with 4 or fewer Hit Dice, and causes creatures with 5 to 6 Hit Dice to roll Saving Throws vs. Poison with a -4 penalty or be slain. Holding one's breath has no effect on the lethality of the spell. Those above 6th level (or 6 Hit Dice) must leave the cloud immediately or suffer 1d10 points of poison damage each round while in the area of effect. |
| 12176 Cone of Cold (Evocation) Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 35-ft. cone with 90-deg. arc Saving Throw: 1/2 When this spell is cast, it generates a cone-shaped area of extreme cold originating at the wizard's hand and extending outward in a cone 35 ft. long with a 90-deg. arc. It drains heat and causes 1d4+1 points of damage per level of the caster. For example, a 10th-level wizard would cast a cone of cold causing 10d4+10 points of damage. |
| 12177 Fireball (Evocation) Level: 3 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: 1/2 A Fireball is an explosive burst of flame, which detonates with a low roar and delivers damage proportional to the level of the wizard who cast itâ€â€1d6 points of damage for each level of experience of the caster (up to a maximum of 10d6). The wizard points <PRO_HISHER> finger and speaks the range (distance and height) at which the Fireball is to burst. A streak flashes from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, blossoms into the fireball (an early impact results in an early detonation). Creatures failing their Saving Throws each suffer full damage from the blast. Those who roll successful Saving Throws manage to dodge, fall flat, or roll aside, each receiving half. |
| 12178 Ice Storm (Evocation) Level: 4 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 4 rounds Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, great hail stones pound down for four rounds in a 60-ft. diameter area and inflict 2d8 points of cold damage to any creatures within the area of effect.

| 12180 Magic Missile (Evocation) Level: 1 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Instant Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Use of the Magic Missile spell, one of the most popular 1st-level spells, creates up to five missiles of magical energy that dart forth from the wizard's fingertip and unerringly strike their target, which must be a creature of some sort.

| 12181 Stinking Cloud (Evocation) Level: 2 Range: 90 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. When casting a Stinking Cloud spell, the wizard creates a billowing mass of nauseous vapors up to 90 ft. away from <PRO_HISHER> position.

Those who make successful Saving Throws can leave the cloud without suffering any ill effects, although those remaining in the cloud must continue to save each round. A Dispel Magic will remove the nausea on a particular character, but if they remain in the cloud, then they are still subject to its effects. |

The Web spell covers a maximum area of about 30 ft. in radius (roughly the same size as a Fireball). Creatures caught within webs, or simply touching them, become stuck among the gluey fibers. Anyone in the area when the spell is cast must roll a Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -2 penalty. If the Saving Throw is successful, then the creature is free to move out of the area. A failed Saving Throw means the creature is stuck in the webs unable to move. Each round that a creature remains in the web, it must make a Saving Throw or be unable to move. |

Duration: 8 hours Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell causes a skeleton warrior to rise and serve the caster under any conditions.

| 12190 Vampiric Touch (Necromancy) Level: 3 Range: Touch Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, the target loses 1d6 Hit Points for every 2 caster levels, to a maximum drain of 6d6 for a 12th-level caster.

If the wizard misses, the spell is wasted. The wizard has 1 round per level to touch the target creature. |
| 12196 Slow (Alteration) Level: 3 Range: 25 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. A Slow spell causes creatures to move and attack at half of their normal rates. It negates Haste, but does not otherwise affect magically hasted or slowed creatures. Slowed creatures have an Armor Class and attack penalty of -4. Creatures save at -4 vs. Spell. |
| 12197 Strength (Alteration) Level: 2 Range: Touch Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Application of this spell sets the Strength of the character to 18 and then adds a +50% bonus on top of this. The character receives any strength bonuses appropriate. For example, if a character has between 18/50 and 18/00 Strength, then <PRO_HISHER> Strength will just be set to 18/00. If a character has a Strength between 18/01 and 18/50, then <PRO_HISHER> Strength will become 18/50 + original percentage. If <PRO_HISHER> Strength is less than 18, then it will just become 18/50. However, this spell will actually lower a character's Strength if it is already 19 or more. |
| 12198 Vocalize (Alteration) Level: 2 Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None The recipient of this spell can cast spells with a verbal component without having to make any noise. Effectively, this spell cancels the effects of Silence and makes the recipient immune to it for the spell's duration. This spell has no effect on other noises or speechâ€â€it simply removes a spell's verbal component. |
| 12199 Dispel Magic (Abjuration) Level: 3 Sphere: Protection Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None A Dispel Magic spell removes magical effects upon anyone within the area. This includes effects given from spells, potions and certain magical items such as wands. It does not, however, affect enchanted magical items or spell protections such as Spell Turning and Spell Deflection. The chance of the dispel succeeding is determined by the level of the caster and the level of the magic being dispelled. The base chance of successfully dispelling is 50%. For every level that the caster of the Dispel Magic is above the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success increases by 5%. For every level that the caster of Dispel Magic is below the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success decreases by 10%. However, despite the difference in levels, there is always at least a 5% chance of success or failure. Thus, if a caster is 10 levels higher than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 5% chance of failure. Similarly if the caster is 4 levels lower than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 10% chance of success. Intuitively, this spell is almost useless if the target is 5 or more levels higher than the caster. Note: While this spell dispels the individual effects of Grease, Web, Stinking Cloud, and other such spells, it does not dispel the area of effect. |
| 12200 Glyph of Warding (Abjuration, Evocation) Level: 3 Sphere: Guardian Range: 60 ft. Duration: Permanent until discharged Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 25-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. A Glyph of Warding is a powerful inscription magically drawn to prevent unauthorized or hostile creatures from passing, entering, or opening. It can be used to guard a small bridge, to ward an entry, or as a trap on a chest or box. Any creature violating the warded area is subject to the magic it stores, although a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell enables the creature to escape the effects of the glyph. When the spell is cast, the priest weaves a tracery of faintly glowing lines around the warding sigil. When the glyph is activated, it deals 1d4 points of electrical damage per level of the caster. |
| 12201 Protection From Evil (Abjuration) Level: 1 Sphere: Protection Range: Touch Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, it creates a magical barrier around the recipient at a distance of one foot. The barrier moves with the recipient and has two major effects: First, all attacks made by evil or evilly enchanted creatures against the protected creature receive a penalty of -2 to each attack roll. Second, summoned demons cannot target the protected creature. |
| 12202 Protection From Fire (Abjuration) Level: 3 Sphere: Protection, Elemental (Fire) Range: Touch Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None The effects of a Protection From Fire spell last no longer than 3 rounds plus 1 round per level of the caster. When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to normal fires (torches, bonfires, oil fires, and the like) and to exposure to magical fires (fiery dragon breath, hell hound or pyrohydra breath, spells such as Burning Hands, Fireball, Fire Seeds, Fire Storm, Flame Strike, Meteor Swarm, and so on), absorbing 80% of all the damage dealt by such magical sources. |
| 12203 Remove Curse (Abjuration) Level: 3 Sphere: Protection Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Upon casting this spell, the priest is usually able to remove a curse on an object, a person, or in the form of some undesired sending or evil presence. Note that the Remove Curse spell does not remove the curse from a cursed shield, weapon, or suit of armor, although the spell typically enables the person afflicted with any such cursed item to get rid of it. Certain special curses may not be countered by this spell, or may be countered only by a caster of a certain level or higher. |
| 12204 Remove Fear (Abjuration) Level: 1 Sphere: Charm Range: 30 ft. Duration: 1 hour Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None The priest instills courage in the spell's recipients, raising their morale to its highest. The recipients' morale will gradually reset to normal as the duration runs out. If the recipients are affected by magical fear, this is negated. |
| 12205 Remove Paralysis (Abjuration) Level: 3 Sphere: Protection Range: 150 ft. Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 25-ft. radius Saving Throw: None By the use of this spell, the priest can free all creatures within the area from the effects of any paralyzation or related magic (such as a ghoul's touch or a Hold spell). |
| 12206 Sanctuary (Abjuration) Level: 1 Sphere: Protection Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When the priest casts a Sanctuary spell, it causes all of <PRO_HISHER> opponents to ignore <PRO_HISHER> existence as if <PRO_HESHE> were invisible. While protected by this spell, the subject cannot take direct offensive action without breaking the spell, but may use non-attack spells or otherwise act in any way that does not violate the prohibition against offensive action. This allows a warded priest to heal wounds, for example, or to Bless <PRO_HIMHER>self. The priest cannot cast spells on other creatures without ending the spell. |
| 12207 Shillelagh (Alteration) Level: 1 Sphere: Combat, Plant Range: 0 Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell enables the caster to create a magical cudgel that has a +1 bonus to its attack roll and inflicts 2d4 points of damage on opponents. |
| 12208 Entangle (Alteration) Level: 1 Sphere: Plant Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 40-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. By means of this spell, the caster is able to cause plants in the area of effect to entangle creatures within the area. The grasses, weeds, bushes, and even trees wrap, twist, and entwine about the creatures, holding them fast. Once per round, a creature can attempt to save vs. Spell with a +3 bonus to avoid entanglement. An entangled creature can still attack, but receives a -2 penalty to its Armor Class. |
| 12209 Barkskin (Alteration) Level: 2 Sphere: Protection, Plant Range: Touch Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When a priest casts the Barkskin spell upon a creature, its skin becomes as tough as bark, increasing its base Armor Class to 6, plus 1 for every 4 levels of the priest: Armor Class 5 at 4th level, Armor Class 4 at 8th, and so on. In addition, Saving Throws vs. all attack forms except magic gain a +1 bonus. This spell can be placed on the caster or on any other creature <PRO_HESHE> touches. |
| 12210 Resist Fire and Cold (Alteration) Level: 2 Sphere: Protection Range: Touch Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is placed upon a creature, the creature's body is toughened to withstand heat and cold. Complete immunity to mild conditions (standing naked in the snow or reaching into an ordinary fire to pluck out a note) is gained. The recipient can somewhat resist intense heat or cold (whether natural or magical in origin), such as red-hot charcoal, a large amount of burning oil, flametongue swords, fire storms, fireballs, meteor swarms, red dragon's breath, frostbrand swords, ice storms, wands of frost, or white dragon's breath. In all of these cases, the temperature affects the creature to some extent. The recipient has all damage sustained by fire or cold reduced by 50%. |
| 12211 Silence, 15' Radius (Alteration) Level: 2 Sphere: Guardian Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 2 rounds/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 15-ft. radius sphere Saving Throw: Neg. Upon casting this spell, complete silence prevails in the affected area. All sound is stopped: Conversation is impossible and spells cannot be cast. Each creature in the area must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -5 penalty; if the save is failed then they are silenced for the duration of the spell. Note that this spell does not continue to affect the area after being cast; only those in the area at the time of the casting are affected by the silence. |
| 12212 Call Lightning (Alteration) Level: 3 Sphere: Weather Range: 80 ft. Duration: 1 turn/4 levels Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 360-ft. radius Saving Throw: 1/2 Call Lightning must be cast outside; otherwise, it will not work, and the spell is wasted. The caster is able to call down one bolt of lightning per turn. The spell has a duration of 1 turn every 4 levels of the caster. Each bolt causes 2d8 points of electrical damage, plus an additional 1d8 points per level of the caster. Thus, an 8th-level caster will call down two bolts, each dealing 10d8 (2d8 + 8d8) points of damage. The bolt of lightning flashes down in a vertical stroke at any of the priest's enemies. The first enemy struck by the lightning will be the enemy targeted. After that, any enemy (but no allies) may be struck by the ensuing lightning storm. |
| 12213 Strength of One (Alteration) Level: 3 Sphere: Law Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, party members within the area of effect are given a Strength score of 18/75. If a party member has a Strength score higher than this (either naturally, or through a magical item), then <PRO_HISHER> Strength is lowered to 18/75. The spell lasts for 1 turn, whereupon everyone's Strength returns to normal. |
| 12214 Animal Summoning I (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 4 Sphere: Animal, Summoning Range: 30 ft. Duration: 3 turns Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None By means of this spell, the caster calls between 2 and 3 animals that have 4 Hit Dice or less. The animals appearing are randomly determined. They will remain under the caster's control until slain or the spell duration expires. |
| 12215 Animal Summoning II (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 5 Sphere: Animal, Summoning Range: 30 ft. Duration: 3 turns Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None By means of this spell, the caster calls from 1 to 3 animals that have 8 Hit Dice or less. The animals summoned aid the caster by whatever means they possess, staying until the spell duration expires. Only normal or giant animals can be summoned; fantastic animals or monsters cannot be summoned by this spell (no chimerae, dragons, gorgons, manticores, etc.). |
| 12216 Bless (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 1 Sphere: All Range: 40 ft. Duration: 6 rounds Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None Upon uttering the Bless spell, the caster raises the morale of friendly creatures by +1. Furthermore, it raises their attack and damage rolls by +1. The caster determines at what range (up to 40 ft.) the spell will be cast. At the instant the spell is completed, it affects all creatures in a 30-ft. radius centered on the point selected by the caster (thus, affected creatures leaving the area are still subject to the spell's effects; those entering the area after the casting is completed are not). |
| 12217 Chant (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 2 Sphere: Combat Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None By means of the Chant spell, the priest brings special favor upon <PRO_HISHER>self and <PRO_HISHER> party and causes harm to <PRO_HISHER> enemies. When the Chant spell is completed, all the priest's allies within the area of effect gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls, minimum damage/healing rolls, and Saving Throws. Furthermore, damage dice for all effects outside a weapon's base damage is reduced by 1. For example, a 6d6 fireball will do 6d5 damage, and an arrow of fire that deals 1d6 piercing plus 1d2 fire damage will deal 1d6 piercing plus 1 fire damage instead. The priest's enemies suffer the opposite effects. Multiple chants are not cumulative. |
| 12218 Wall of Fire (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 4 Sphere: Elemental (Fire) Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Special Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None The wall of fire spell brings forth an immobile, blazing curtain of magical fire of shimmering colorâ€â€yellow-green or amber. The spell creates either an opaque sheet of flame up to one 20-ft. square per level of the spellcaster or a ring with a radius of up to 10 feet plus 5 feet per two levels of experience of the priest. In either form, the wall of fire is 20 feet high. The wall of fire must be cast so that it is vertical with respect to the caster. The wall inflicts 4d4 points of damage, plus 1 point of damage per level of the spellcaster, to any creature passing through it. Creatures especially subject to fire may take additional damage, and undead always take twice normal damage. |
| 12219 Detect Evil (Divination) Level: 2 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 60-ft. radius Saving Throw: None This spell discovers emanations of evil from any creature. Any evil creature within the range of the spell will glow red briefly. |
| 12220 Find Traps (Divination) Level: 2 Sphere: Divination Range: 0 Duration: 3 turns Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When a priest casts a Find Traps spell, all trapsâ€â€concealed normally or magicallyâ€â€of magical or mechanical nature become apparent to <PRO_HIMHER>. A trap is any device or magical ward that meets three criteria: it can inflict a sudden or unexpected result; the spellcaster would view the result as undesirable or harmful; and the creator specifically intended the harmful or undesirable result as such. Thus traps include glyphs and similar spells or devices. Due to the nature of the spell, the caster must stop to concentrate 1 per round which will effectively interrupt any action. This however will not affect spellcasting. |
| 12221 Invisibility Purge (Divination) Level: 3 Sphere: Divination Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: instant Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None Any invisible creatures within the area of effect have their invisibility dispelled. This includes creatures under the effects of Sanctuary, Improved Invisibility, Shadow Door, Invisibility, Mislead, and so on. |
| 12222 Know Alignment (Divination) Level: 2 Sphere: Divination Range: 30 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. A Know Alignment spell enables the priest to exactly read the aura of a creature. If the creature rolls a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell, the caster learns nothing about that particular creature from the casting. When a character is hit by this spell, it will glow red if evil, green if good, and white if neutral. Certain magical devices negate the power of the Know Alignment spell. |
| 12223 Charm Person or Mammal (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 2 Sphere: Animal Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 person or mammal Saving Throw: Neg. This spell affects any single person it is cast upon. The term person includes any bipedal human, demihuman, or humanoid of man-size or smaller, such as brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level fighter could be charmed, but an ogre could not. The person is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell to negate the effect. If the spell's recipient fails <PRO_HISHER> Saving Throw (with a +3 modifier), <PRO_HESHE> regards the caster as a trusted friend and ally to be heeded and protected. The caster may give <PRO_HIMHER> orders, and the charmed individual will carry them out as quickly as possible. If the caster harmsâ€â€or attempts to harmâ€â€the charmed person by some overt action, or if a Dispel Magic spell is cast upon the charmed person, the Charm spell is broken. If two or more Charms simultaneously affect a creature, the most recent Charm takes precedence. Note that the subject has full memory of the events that took place while <PRO_HESHE> was charmed. Also note that you cannot have a charmed creature leave the area where <PRO_HESHE> is charmed. |
| 12224 Command (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 1 Sphere: Charm Range: 90 ft. Duration: 1 round Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special This spell enables the priest to command another creature to "die" (sleep) for a single round. At the end of the round, the creature awakens and is unharmed. Creatures with 6 or more Hit Dice (or experience levels) are entitled to a Saving Throw vs. Spell to ignore the command. |

| 12314 Hold Animal (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 3 Sphere: Animal Range: 35 ft. Duration: 2 rounds/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature and any enemies within 7.5 ft. Saving Throw: Neg. This spell holds animals rigidly immobile and in place. Only normal- and giant-sized animals are affected by this spell; monsters such as wyverns, ankhegs, and carrion crawlers do not count as animals. The effect is centered on the victim selected by the caster; every enemy within 7.5 ft. of the target is also affected. Those who succeed on their Saving Throws are totally unaffected by the spell. Held creatures cannot move or speak, but they remain aware of events around them and can use abilities not requiring motion or speech. Being held does not prevent the worsening of the subjects' condition due to wounds, disease, or poison. |
| 12315 Hold Person (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 2 Sphere: Charm Range: 35 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature and any enemy within 7.5 ft. Saving Throw: Neg. This spell holds one or more humans, demihumans, or humanoid creatures rigidly immobile and in place for one turn. This includes: brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls, gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-orcs, hobgoblins, humans, kobolds, lizard men, nixies, orcs, pixies, sprites, troglodytes, and others. Thus, a 10th-level Fighter could be held, while an ogre could not. The effect is centered on the victim selected by the caster. Every enemy within 7.5 ft. of the target is also affected. Those who succeed on their Saving Throws are totally unaffected by the spell. Undead creatures cannot be held. Held creatures cannot move or speak, but they remain aware of events around them even though they are helpless to change them. Time passes at a normal rate for the targets and hence being held does not stop any worsening of their condition due to wounds, disease, or poison. |
| 12316 Miscast Magic (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 3 Sphere: Chaos Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 target Saving Throw: Neg. Any spellcasting creature that is affected by this spell has its casting ability severely disabled. When the creature attempts to cast a spell, it suffers an 80% chance of failure. Creatures can save vs. Spell to avoid the effect, but do so with a -2 penalty. |
| 12317 Magical Stone (Enchantment) Level: 1 Sphere: Combat Range: 50 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None By using this spell, the priest can create a small magical pebble, which then flies out and hits a target opponent. The stone deals 1d4 points of damage to whomever it hits. The stones are considered +1 weapons for determining if a creature can be struck (those struck only by magical weapons, for instance), although they do not have an attack or damage bonus. |
| 12318 Flame Blade (Evocation) Level: 2 Sphere: Elemental (Fire) Range: 0 Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/2 levels Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None With this spell, the caster causes a blazing ray of red-hot fire to spring forth from <PRO_HISHER> hand. This blade-like ray is wielded as if it were a sword that the caster already knows how to use, hence there are no bonuses or penalties. If the caster successfully hits with the flame blade in melee combat, the creature struck suffers 1d4 points of slashing damage, plus an additional 1d2+4 points of fire damage. However, it is not a magical weapon in the normal sense of the term, so creatures struck only by magical weapons are not harmed by it. |
| 12319 Flame Strike (Evocation) Level: 5 Sphere: Combat Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: 1/2 When the priest calls down a Flame Strike spell, a vertical column of fire roars downward in the exact location called for by the caster. The target must roll a Saving Throw vs. Spell. Failure means the creature sustains 1d8 points of damage per level of the caster; otherwise, the damage is halved. |
| 12320 Draw Upon Holy Might (Invocation) Level: 2 Sphere: Combat Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None The priest calls upon <PRO_HISHER> god to grant <PRO_HIMHER> power for a short period. When <PRO_HESHE> does this, <PRO_HISHER> Strength, Constitution, and Dexterity are all raised by 1 point for every 3 levels of the caster. A 3rd-level caster would have <PRO_HISHER> abilities raised by 1, while a 12th-level caster would have <PRO_HISHER> abilities raised by 4. |
| 12321 Spiritual Hammer (Invocation) Level: 2 Sphere: Combat Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None By calling upon <PRO_HISHER> deity, the caster of a Spiritual Hammer spell brings into existence a magical hammer, which <PRO_HESHE> can use for the duration of the spell. It strikes as a magical weapon with a bonus of +1 for every 6 experience levels (or fraction) of the caster, up to a total of +3 to the attack roll and +3 to the damage roll for a 13th-level caster. The base damage inflicted when it scores a hit is exactly the same as a normal war hammer (1d4+1 vs. opponents of man-size or smaller and 1d4 upon larger opponents, plus the magical bonus). |
| 12322 Aid (Necromancy, Conjuration) Level: 2 Sphere: Necromantic Range: Touch Duration: 1 round + 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None The recipient of this spell gains the benefits of a Bless spell (+1 to attack rolls and Saving Throws) and a special bonus of 1d8 additional Hit Points for the duration of the spell. The Aid spell enables the recipient to actually have more Hit Points than <PRO_HISHER> current maximum. The bonus Hit Points are lost first when the recipient takes damage and may not be regained by curative magic. Example: A 1st-level Fighter has 8 Hit Points, suffers 2 points of damage (8 - 2 = 6), then receives an Aid spell that grants <PRO_HIMHER> 5 additional Hit Points. The Fighter now has 11 Hit Points, 3 of which are temporary. If <PRO_HESHE> is then hit for 7 points of damage, 4 normal Hit Points and all 3 temporary Hit Points are lost. The Fighter then receives a Cure Light Wounds spell that heals 4 points of damage, restoring <PRO_HIMHER> to <PRO_HISHER> original 8 Hit Points. |
| 12323 Cure Light Wounds (Necromancy) Level: 1 Sphere: Healing Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None By casting this spell and laying <PRO_HISHER> hand upon a creature, the priest causes 8 points of wound or other injury damage to the creature's body to be healed. This healing cannot affect creatures without corporeal bodies, nor can it cure wounds of creatures not living or of extraplanar origin. Curing is permanent only insofar as the creature does not sustain further damage; caused wounds will healâ€â€or can be curedâ€â€just as any normal injury. |

| 12368 As it should be. |
| 12389 I must rest my eyes awhile. |
| 12421 Mon Dieu! |
| 12509 Such a waste of time this is! |
| 12615 You are a slave? Ha ha ha! Obviously, I have nothing to worry about! |
| 12616 Better a slave than a slave's dinner, as you shall find out quickly enough! |
| 12617 How is it that you came to be imprisoned here, vampire? |
| 12618 Indeed, Irenicus is powerful. I would kill him if I could, for he feeds me nothing but scraps and corpses. Come, mortal, and let me feast upon the fresh blood of the living! |
| 12619 Mira |
| 12620 Ah! Surely you cannot be my captors, come to torment an old man within his glass prison! You look like none others I have seen here. |
| 12621 No, I am not your captor. I was recently a prisoner myself. |
| 12622 Oh, glorious praise to you then, that you have freed yourself. Can you not see your way to helping an old man to his own freedom, then? |
| 12623 Who are you, old man? How did you come to be imprisoned here in such a manner? |
| 12624 My name is Frennedan, and I have been held in this glass bottle for some time now. Why, I do not know, but I fear it is to be magically experimented on. Please help me! |
| 12625 Alyth |
| 12626 Avery |
| 12627 Of course, I will do everything I can to help you. Do you know how I can remove you from your cage? |
| 12628 Bork |
| 12629 There is a key in one of the chests that will open up this door. Please hurry! |
| 12630 I would prefer to know who you are and how you came to be imprisoned here first. |
| 12631 Brilla |
| 12632 Of course, I will do everything I can to help you. Do you know how I can remove you from your cage? |
| 12633 I have seen others that have been experimented on, as you say. It is a most terrible thing... do you know who is behind all of this? |
| 12634 No, I know nothing of who has done all of this, my <LADYLORD>. Please help me! I fear I am too old to survive for long! |
| 12635 Of course, I will do everything I can to help you. Do you know how I can remove you from your cage? |
| 12636 I am not here to torment you, old man, but I can spare no time to aid you either. |
| 12637 Aaaah! You will not help an old, feeble man? |
| 12638 Perhaps you will aid a helpless little boy, then? Would you, kind <LADYLORD>? I am ever so cold and lonely. |
| 12639 I am not certain I will be able to free you. Do you know how that glass door of yours is opened? |
| 12640 There is a key in one of the chests, I believe. Oh, please find it and help me! Please aid an old man! |
| 12641 I find I trust no one in this prison. You can stay where you are for now, old man. |
| 12642 I am not certain I can free you. Do you know how to open your glass door? |
| 12643 I am not certain I trust you, Frennedan. Perhaps someone has put you in your cage for a good reason. |
| 12644 Very well, I shall find it and release you. Nobody should be treated like this. |
| 12645 Please hurry! |
| 12646 I am unsure... you seem far too eager somehow. How do I know I can trust you? |
| 12647 What?! What manner of sorcery is this?! You turn into a boy before my eyes and expect me to trust you? Explain yourself! |
| 12648 *sniff* I just would like to be free ever so much, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Please help me. Please let me go. |
| 12649 I know not what you are, but you will stay in that glass cage safely away from me. |
| 12650 No, no, please! Won't you even help a little boy? Ooooh... |
| 12651 You talk like a boy, but a moment ago you spoke as an old man. I would know what you were before I free you... I have had enough of doppelgangers. |
| 12652 I'm not a dop, a dop... one of those. Whatever that is, <SIRMAAM>. Ooooh, I don't know what to say to get you to help me. I've been in here for so long. |
| 12653 Ah, very well, then. I will attempt to release you, then. I shall watch you carefully, however, and the first move you make shall be your last! |
| 12654 I would be quite the fool to release you, then, wouldn't I? You'll stay where you are until you convince me otherwise. |
| 12655 I'll not be so easily tricked! You'll stay behind that glass where you belong! |
| 12656 Very well. Be warned, however, that I shall keep a close eye on you. The first sign of a threat from you and it shall be the last you make, I swear. |
| 12657 Thank you! Oh, thank you ever so much! Please hurry! |
| 12658 Please let me out of here. I beg of you to hurry! |
| 12659 Thank you kindly for letting me go. I am ever so tired, but I cannot wait to taste true freedom. |
| 12660 Thanks for freeing me! I am not being troublesome, am I? I mean no harm. |
| 12661 I shall not endanger my party by having you at our backs. Find your own way to the surface. |
| 12662 What? Impudent lout! |
| 12663 Now I will kill you all, foolish ones! |
| 12664 Do you know anything about the prison, such as a way out? |
| 12665 Are you sure you don't know who is behind all of this? Anything you could tell me would be most useful. |
| 12666 Whatever you are, I have decided to end your existence just in case! |
| 12667 No, I am sorry. I saw nothing when I was brought here. |
| 12668 No, I have seen nothing of my captor since my arrival. Only his servants. I am afraid I know little. |
| 12669 I cannot wait to finally be free of this horrible place. Thank you for allowing me to follow you out, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 12670 No, it is nothing. |
| 12671 I'm the best at what I do, and what I do ain't pretty! Hahahahaha! |
| 12672 What?! You attack me?! |
| 12673 I find it truly amazing that you have made it this far, tasty one, seeing as you can be so easily fooled! |
| 12674 I am unsure if I am even able to aid you. Do you know how to unlock the glass door of your cage? |
| 12675 You seem too eager and I trust too little to let you out. You will stay where you are. |
| 12676 Ah! Thou hast come once again to prey upon me, my "master"! |
| 12677 I am not your master, dear lady. Is there aught that I can do for you? |
| 12678 Tell me who you are and what you are doing here! |

| 12736 Nothing shall prey on you except death! |
| 12737 Do for me? Do for me?! After all that thou hast already done! |
| 12738 Thou knowest who I am, foul one! Or dost thou now mistake me for HER?! You created me, fool! And killed and created and killed and created! And now I shall put an end to thee! |
| 12739 I shall not! You may have created me, but I am not a plaything! I am not HER, no matter how thou dost wish it! Kill me a dozen times over, I am never her! |
| 12740 Aye, so be it! Damn my copied soul, and damned be thine as well! Kill me again, and again, and again! |
| 12741 And who is this woman I might wish you to be? |
| 12742 No, you are not my creature to play with. I apologize for anything I may have done. |
| 12743 And who might you be, then? |

| 13136 History of Amn: Amn has the good fortune to have abundant natural resources; some would say Amn is the richest land on the continent. This has worked in Amn's favor for generations, because even if they were conquered, the new masters would be gentle, looking to gain wealth from the land rather than to put it to the torch. Amn has been a center of trade and commerce for as long as anyone can remember. Oral traditions handed down from father to son tend to support the theory that Amn has been a trade center for at least 800 years. Unfortunately, written records are difficult to find and often incomplete. It would seem the typical Amnian citizen was too busy trying to fill their coffers to write down events of the day. Amn has always been more interested in the present and the future than the past, and this makes an accurate history difficult. The best records, the business papers of the oldest trading companies, are jealously guarded. The fear of revealing "trade secrets" is stronger than the call of history, so the average citizen knows very little about Amn's past. It appears that the Amn of 100 years ago was very much like the Calimshan of today. Each major city was basically an independent entity, banding together for defense when necessary, and fighting for control of territory and profitable trade routes the rest of the time. A particularly brutal trade war began 24 years ago, with each city exacting prohibitive tariffs on goods imported from the others. The trade war escalated, and city troops began to raid caravans sponsored by other cities. In a matter of months commerce was brought to a halt, a number of cities were under siege, and war threatened to engulf the entire region. Into the breach stepped a young merchant named Thayze Selemchant. Thayze was smart, charismatic, and very well connected: the Selemchant trading house was one of the oldest and richest in Athkatla. He secretly contacted representatives of the five other richest merchant houses in Amn, and started to plan. The first part of the plan involved the careful sprinkling of rumors about outside threats. One involved a pirate invasion from the Nelanther, another was about a massing of orcs just on the other side of the Cloud Peaks. Thayze even started a rumor about an elf army in the Forest of Tethir, ready to pounce on a divided Amn. None of the rumors were true, but they began to turn people's thoughts toward unity, not war. Thayze knew that if he and the other members of his council were to take control of Amn, they would need broad-based popular support. Tensions between cities and merchant houses were still high, so to get that support, Selemchant and the others agreed to drop their family names and never use them again. When news of a "Council of Six" spread throughout the land, many people accepted their rule. A group that would unite Amn under one rule, governing for the benefit of all instead of one city or trading company over another, was indeed a welcome change. The council raised an army (at great personal expense) to quell the few pockets of resistance that remained, and have been in total control of Amn for the past 22 years. |
| 13137 History of Calimshan: Calimshan is older than either of the other Empires of the Sands, first settled over 7,000 years ago by the Djen, a humanoid race from the Elemental Plane of Air. These Djen were known to be very magical, and during the course of their rule they developed many new spells previously not available in the Plane of Air. The Djen prospered for over 1,000 years in Calimshan, but their reign was ended by an invasion of creatures and minions from the Plane of Fire. Some say this is where the bitter hatred between djinni and efreeti started, though others contend this was just a result of a hatred that was already there. Whatever the cause, the battle was long and bloody, and took over 100 years to complete. The Djen finally routed the attackers, but were greatly weakened in the attempt. They slowly declined, and the last mention of the Djen is just under 6,000 years old. For the next 4,000 years Calimshan was dominated by nomadic tribes of humans. Tribes from various placesâ€â€Chult, the Shaar, The Shining Plains, Chondath, even Amn and Cormyrâ€â€took turns dominating, only to be conquered by the next, nearly identical tribe. Slowly, the nomadic nature of Calimshan began to change. As explorers and traders from Amn, Waterdeep, and Cormyr discovered the wonders of the area, some tribes began to settle down and develop new means of support, like fishing, farming, or trading. These communities began to band together for mutual protection, and soon a civilization was born. It was only 1,300 years ago that the Shoon Empire (now called Iltkazar) came into being. The Shoons were a grand and glorious empire, and their excesses were the foundation of Calishite snobbery today. They grew wise and powerful in the ways of magic, and ships and caravans bearing the Shoon flag traveled across the realms. Shoon himself, a particularly powerful mage, created a book of great power during this time called the Tome of the Unicorn. The exact location of the Tome has been lost in time, but since the book is 2' by 3' and made of pure metal, it is likely to still be around... somewhere. 900 years ago the Shoon empire abruptly vanished. A great magical upheaval was suspected at first, but learned mages of other lands dispute the claim. A force that great, they say, would have disturbed magical powers and beings throughout the realms, and that didn't happen. Sages who have studied the Shoon at great length have reached no definite conclusions, but the most popular theories today center around a plague or disease that decimated the population. Today, the Shoon impact on Calimshan is still great. The grandeur of that empire is responsible, more than anything else, for the strong national character of Calimshan today. The ruins of the Shoon's greatest city, Monrativi Teshy Mir, can still be found in the wilderness to the west of the edge of the Forest of Mir (see below for more on Monrativi Teshy Mir). Since the fall of Shoon, no force or people has risen to solely dominate the land. There are a half dozen or so major cities, each of which exerts its power over its own area. About 170 years ago, a man in Calimport amassed a large army and declared himself "Pasha" over the land. Before that army could march, however, the representatives of each major city met and agreed to recognize the Pasha's authority in limited areas, and to pay a small tribute to him; enough to pay for the works the Pasha was expected to do. The oldest son of each Pasha inherits the title; if there is no son, the mayors of each large city select a new one. The current Pasha, Rashid Djenispool, has ruled for over 18 years, and is the grandson of a pasha elected by the mayors of Calimshan 44 years ago. |
| 13138 History of Cormyr: Cormyr dates its years from the founding of House Obarskyr 1,342 years ago, the first of the noble houses and the line of its kings. For the bulk of this time, Cormyr was little more than a single city (Suzail) and a few fortified outposts. At times the monarch was forced by rebellion and intrigue to rule from those outposts instead of from the throne. King Azoun is the fourth of his name and the 71st of his line. The land has been officially at peace for many yearsâ€â€since Rhigaerd overthrew the last of the border raiders. However, Cormyrean armies have taken part in many actions in nearby regions, recently mustering its forces to face Gondegal, the rebel of Arabel; to occupy Tilverton on the marches of the Dalelands; and to lead a crusade against the great Tuigan horde invading from the east. One wit has noted that "Yes, the land is at peace, but the army has to keep busy." In addition to pursuing major actions, Cormyrean patrols often skirmish with bandits on the roads in the north and west, and are at present battling orcs and other creatures north and east of Cormyr in Tilver's Gap and Shadow Gap. Both of these areas are threatened by raiders who will menace Cormyr itself if they ever overrun Tilverton. Cormyr has built a fortress, Castle Crag, to defend the kingdom from attacks from that quarter, and maintains the High Horn to protect against attacks from the West. |
| 13139 History of Dambrath: The nation of Dambrath was formed out of a barbarian kingdom almost a half-millennium ago by a powerful alliance of priestesses of Loviatar and the drow from the city of T'lindhet. In 211 DR, fleeing from the destruction of the homeland by the then-great kingdoms of Unther and Mulhorand, four tribes of barbarians entered Dambrath. They found a coast where the dolphins danced and plains where the grass was long. They roamed from the borders of the Walls of Halruaa as far east as the current borders of Estagund. They soon became known as the Arkaiun, or People of the Wind. In 545 DR a great warchief, Reinhar, arose to lead the tribes. The halflings of Luiren were quickly enslaved, and several of the coastal cities of Durpar were captured or razed. Estagund fell to his rule, and eventually Reinhar turned his attention to Halruaa. An army of 40,000 horsemen and a fleet of fifty ships mounted a coordinated attack, and even though Reinhar was able to get beyond the Walls of Halruaa and occupy the cities of Mithel, Galdel, and Zalsuu, their magics proved to be more than a match for the invaders. Reinhar was finally defeated in a great battle at Sulaziir by the archmage Mycontil and his troop of wizards. Reinhar's son, Reinhar II, took command of the army and set out on a two month overland retreat. He arrived home with a thousand surviving fighting men and no shaman. Reinhar II proved to be as good a ruler in defeat as his father was in war. He consolidated his forces and pulled home almost all of his troops, as he knew that the defeat made them tempting prey for raiders and encroaching monsters. This action allowed for the safe development of his peoples. By the time the ninth Reinhar was king in 802 DR, the Arkaiuns were fat and lazy. Reinhar IX, or Reinhar the Foolish as he is more commonly known, insisted on expanding his nation to gain more gold to finance his military campaigns. He ordered the mining of many rich lodes of silver and electrum in the Gnollwatch mountains, but before his plans of expansion could begin, the miners encountered the drow of T'lindher. The drow were outraged and began a steady series of raids and attacks on the Arkaiun strongholds. Whole villages were destroyed overnight, and no trace of the invaders could be found. Reinhar IX committed the foolhardy action of attacking the drow in retaliation. While the Arkaiuns managed to get a force into the drow city, this action only succeeded in uniting the normally chaotic drow. For once, the full power of a drow city was turned against an enemy. The battle quickly moved back to the surface. Reinhar's raiders were wiped out, leaving Reinhar with only a small portion of his original military. This was not enough for the drow, who demanded total enslavement of the entire surface nation. The Arkaiuns resisted valiantly, and the war went on for three decades at tremendous cost in life to both sides. Finally, the drow had the Arkaiun forces cornered at Malduir. Almost without hope, the defenders were overjoyed when a group of half-elven pilgrims appeared on the scene. The high priestess, Cathyr Shintar, offered the aid of her clerics to help defend the city, and Reinhar took this to be an omen from the gods. A priestess was placed with almost every company. Within a tenday, the drow struck. The priestesses did indeed prove to be of great aid, but to the drow. Every priestess turned on the Arkaiuns, and Cathyr herself slew Reinhar. The drow were still weakened by the battle, and only the presence of the priestesses enabled them to win. Cathyr, realizing the unique advantage she possessed, made a deal that even the suspicious drow embraced. Her priestesses would rule the land, and in exchange they would provide access to the surface for the drow, trading weapons, slaves, and supplies. The drow were delighted with this brazen offer from a surface-dweller. Reinhar had been slain and the insult avenged, and after thirty years of war the drow were not particularly interested in Dambrath. They did insist, however, on taking the best captured males as slaves. Cathyr quickly agreed to this, seeing the males as an obstacle to her own power. Cathyr ruled for 205 years. She fulfilled her promise to make Dambrath, or "The Nation of Pain," a bastion of evil in the realms. In her time, Cathyr saw the priesthood of Loviatar expand to thousands, and faith in the Beastlords previously worshipped by the Arkaiuns was nearly eradicated. Many of the Arkaiuns were able to escape their new mistresses, and flee to the Swagdar. There they resumed their almost forgotten nomadic life. The priestesses of Loviatar continued to enjoy good relations with the drow, and some even took mates, creating a race of drow half-elves. These dark half-elves became known as the Crintri, or "noble ones." Most are pristesses of Loviatar, though many are mages as well. They consolidated their power, learning much of the area from the Shebali, or "lower ones," as the Arkaiuns are now called. The capital of Dambrath was established at Cathyr, built after Cathyr's passing and named in her honor. Her death came at the hands of her daughter, Filina, who had grown tired of waiting for her mother to die. Filina ruled for only five years, however, before her own daughter, Cathakay, assumed the throne in the same fashion. Cathakay ruled for fifty-four years, eventually falling in battle against a gold dragon. She died childless, and here niece Melanith assumed the throne. Melanith faced an increasing population, and unrest among males who longed for a return to their prestige of old. Melanith did not return their previous status, but she did make use of them. Fearing that the great nations of Mulhorand and Unther might rise again, she decided that mundane tasks, such as defense of the kingdom, would be handled by men. She was the first to name a male to the post of warchief. Sadalar, a Crintri, became the queen's consort. His term as warchief was characterized by widespread bribery and corruption. He was, however, responsible for getting many privileges returned to the Arkaiuns. After Melanith's rule, the Shebali were considered second class citizens, rather than slaves. Though males were granted more power during her rule, Melanith also solidified the split between the sexes. While the rulers of Dambrath had been females for over two centuries, it was more because of competence than gender. Melanith, however, decreed that men could have no authority except over other men. The female-led hierarchy of Loviatar was quick to back this move. Many of the bravest and best men of the kingdom perished in raids on Estagund, Durpar, the bandit tribes of Veldorn, and against the gnolls that had returned to the Gnollwatch mountains. Some even fought at the side of the drow in their battle with the svirfneblin city of Aventine. The deep gnomes were destroyed, but so were the Shebali. The drow and the Crintri were largely unharmed, and for their aid, the Crintri were rewarded with a number of drow males to breed in to their race. Melanith took a drow male as her consort to replace Sadalar, who had perished in the conflict. The drow, Nym Inthigg, fathered three daughters and a son. It was at this time that Melantih began the isolationist policy that Dambrath still follows today. Melanith ruled for 156 years, her daughter Ausitil for 125. The current queen of Dambrath, Yenandra, who is known in Dambrath as the "Pirate Queen," is said to have sailed as far south as Zakhara on pillaging raids. Yenandra has been ruling for 71 years, and is beginning to show signs of age. She has three daughters as well, named Luatharyn, Meltruil, and Hasifir. While she does remain extremely popular, especially to the Crintri, the children of leaders in this land are not known to patiently wait their turn. |
| 13140 History of Durpar and Var the Golden: Durpar and Var the Golden share a common history. Over three thousand years ago, these countries were both subject to the great kingdom of Raurin. When Raurin fell in -2488 DR, the countries of Durpar and Var barely survived the destruction. Rioting, mass destruction, and hatred of nobility were rampant, and the two countries descended into barbarism for over two millennia. Finally, after most of the barbarian tribes were wiped out by the great empire of Mulhorand, a leader emerged. Satama, a mere trader, experienced a divine revelation and formulated a new philosophy: All things in the world were connected, were part of a single creation spirit, and all of the gods of the realms were merely parts of the same entity. Soon all the Shining Lands embraced the teachings of Satama, and the seeds of civilization were laid in what came to be known as the Lands of the One. Since the Lands of the One had many natural resources, trade with Mulhorand and Luiren became a way of life. Merchants were honored above all. In time, the Maharajah of Durpar and the Rajah of Var were replaced with a council of Merchants. During this time the land suffered occasional raiding attacks from the horsewomen of Dambrath, and had many skirmishes with the neighboring countries of Estagund and Ulgarth. In 1023 DR, after an armed peace had been worked out with Ulgarth, the council of merchants decided that something needed to done about the raiders from Estagund who were hurting trade with other countries. War was an inconvenience, but interrupting trade was life-threatening. Jeradeem, the richest merchant in the lands, was given power to negotiate a settlement. During these negotiations he proved, at least in the eyes of the Durparians, that he was indeed the master trader he seemed. Estagund had just tried a foolish invasion of Dambrath. The vengeful female leaders of that land wiped out nearly every able-bodied fighting man they sent. The monsters of Veldorn were causing problems, and Estagund was going through a famine. It was here that Jeradeem showed his fine merchant's instincts. He could not pass up such an advantage, and began bargaining the most outrageous trade of all time. He met with the leaders of Estagund, a fearful king and his nobles, and explained the advantages of Durparian life and the philosophy of the Adama, the oneness of all things. He bargained for days until finally the king made the trade. He purchased the whole of Estagund for the countries of Durpar and Var at the price of twenty four gems. He also promised protection, and help for their integration into the Durparian way of life. Thus were formed the Shining Lands. Within a hundred years, the three countries shared a common way of life, and with the added strength and resources of Estagund, Durparian merchants increased their trading range. They roamed as far east as Kara-Tur, as far north as the Sea of Fallen Stars, and west to Dambrath and Halruaa. At the present time, with the newly discovered lands of Maztica and Zakhara beckoning, the future looks bright. |
| 13141 History of Estagund: Estagund history follows a different path than those of Durpar and Var. The Gunders were conquered in 551 DR by Reinhar I, warchief of the Arkaiuns of Dambrath. Estagund regained its independence when Reinhar was slain by the Halruaan archmage Mycontil, though the country soon degenerated into a group of small independent city-states. Skirmishes with Var, and between the city-states, continued for several centuries until a king once again united the country. King Bornial was a skilled ruler, and under him Estagund began to prosper. His descendants did not share his wisdom, and in 1053 DR, King Selkarin more than illustrated this. He had failed to conquer Durpar, and Veldorn resisted his challenges. An avowed misogynist, Selkarin turned his attentions to the matriarchy of Dambrath. He led a large fleet to attack Dambrath, taking extreme losses, including his own life. Selkarin died childless, so his brother Seltarir was crowned King. The new ruler faced a country with most of its fighting men gone, and an unforeseen problem: famine. The famine was caused by a blight that wiped out nearly all the year's crops in Estagund. This made him eager for a deal posed by the Durparian merchant Jeradeem, and in a legendary trade the entire country of Estagund was sold. Contrary to popular rumor, Seltarir did not trade away the country for 24 pearls. In actuality he received diamonds worth almost a million gold pieces. The sudden wealth gave him an instant seat on the council of Merchants, so he retained a measure of rule in addition to his fortune. Chaka Seltarir is still the richest chaka in Estagund to this day. In the years that followed, the Gunders began rebuilding their lives under their new circumstance, and now they compete on equal footing with the merchants of Durpar and Var. |
| 13142 History of Gondegal the Lost King: Arabel, long under the dominion of Cormyr, for a time became the center of a swordsman's empire. This swordsman was Gondegal, the Lost King, who in the Year of the Dragon (1352 DR) attempted to carve a kingdom for himself centered on Arabel. It was to extend north to the Desertsmouth Mountains, south and west of Wyvernwater and the farms outlying from Eveningstar, and east to Tilver's Gap and the mountain passes. In the years following, people would say that Gondegal's reach was no longer than his blade. He could not hold any of the territory against the might of Cormyr, Sembia, Daggerdale, Tilverton, and several of the other Dalesâ€â€all of whom he drew the blood and ire of in the making of his throne. Gondegal ruled for less than a season, though he reigned officially for scarcely eight days. The remainder of his rule was spent fighting here and there against one foe or another in the lands he claimed. His troops were largely mercenary, and his treasury of seized goods was small and soon gone. One night Gondegal's force simply melted away before the advancing troops of Cormyr, and was gone. King Azoun IV retook Arabel on that morn without wetting a blade. No one has ever found the body of Gondegal; he is known to have fled north and then east via Teshwave, but then his fate becomes a matter of conflicting rumor and legend. Some believe he still lives with a score or more of loyal followers, keeping court in the wilds somewhere, a careful and ruthless bandit who takes care that none survive his attacks to carry tales anywhere. When entire caravans vanish at times anywhere between the High Dale and far-off Impiltur, he is blamed by talk in the taverns. Gondegal was said to be a tall, gray-haired warrior of considerable personal skill and intelligence. His badge was a gray wolf's head, face on, with red eyes. Caravan guards often warn merchants to beef up the escort on a particular caravan, "else thy gold'll soon be gilding Gondegal's throne." Gondegal was an impeccable swordsman and somewhat chaotic in his self professed neutral alignment. If he does indeed yet live, the magic or treasure he carries, and who his allies might be, are all unknown. Gondegal's reign had a great influence on the King of Cormyr, at that time in his second decade of rule. Not only was Azoun forced to put down an effective rebellion in his own country, he was forced to pay more attention to matters outside Suzail, to become the ruler of a nation as opposed to a city-state. Further, the bloodless assault on Arabel was Azoun's first true experience at the head of his army, and the joy of "freeing" the people of Arabel is one that remains with him. |
| 13143 History of Halruaa: Halruaa was settled centuries ago by wizards fleeing the Phaerimm in what was to become the Anauroch desert. The first wizards came in unique flying ships invented by the Netherese, and found a beautiful and rich country settled only by shepherds and large herds of aurochs and wild rothe. It was here that the wizards decided to make a stand, should the Phaerimm follow. The Phaerimm never did, but Halruaa has had to defend itself from attacks by all of its neighbors since then. Over the centuries, Dambrath has attacked and raided Halruaa's ports and borders multiple times. Once, led by a magic-resistant barbarian, the Dambraii occupied all of the country south of Lake Halruaa. They were defeated in battle by the great archmage Mycontil, who slew their barbarian leader. Forty thousand Dambraii attacked, and were stopped by five hundred Halruaans. More than two hundred Halruaan wizards, including Mycontil, died in the battle. The last attack upon Halruaa was less than one hundred years ago, through the Telath Pass by the power-hungry king of Lapaliiya. He had allied with bandits from the wastes, though this time the Halruaans were able to field a larger force, including fighting men as well as wizards in their skyships. The attackers were easily routed. Halruaa also suffered through a civil war about five centuries ago, when a number of mages advocated beginning new experiments in magic, ones which even the Netherese didn't approve of. The renegades were driven from the region, but went on to found the land of Thay, or so it is said in Halruaa. Since then, Halruaa has been at peace (they have had no declared wars), though it still suffers raids from Dambraii pirates, bandits of the wastes, savages from the Mhair Jungles, and any other pirate, raider, or hungry wizard who thinks that magic and wealth grow on trees in Halruaa. This constant raiding has made the Halruaans very defensive, warlike, and traditional. The people say that since wizards have always led them, wizards always will. |
| 13144 History of Luiren, Land of the Halflings: The halflings of Luiren claim that it is the original homeland of halflings in the realms. Although other halflings may disagree with this, it is true that Luiren was settled hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years ago. Luiren's history is one of conquerors and subjugation. Throughout the centuries, the halflings have been conquered by the barbarians who used to inhabit Dambrath, by the kingdom of Estagund, and even once by the monsters of Beldorn. In every case, the invaders were eventually defeated because they made the mistake of underestimating the halflings due to their small stature. A good bit of mischief, mayhem, and general trouble-making by the halflings also helped end the occupations. Currently, Luiren is enjoying unprecedented prosperity. The halflings are currently taking advantage of their relationship with the nation of Durpar; their biggest customer and greatest competitor. Also, through these close ties with Durpar, Luiren has protected itself against another Dambraii invasion. The rulers of Dambrath must know that if they begin to expand to the east, they will arouse the ire of Durpar, as well as Var and Estagund. The threat of a trade embargo and/or military consequences have kept this aggressive nation away from the Luireners. |
| 13145 History of Sembia: The land of Sembia was settled by humans coming to the Sea of Fallen Stars from the south, and was originally chosen for its stands of huge, high-quality iliyr-wood timber so prized in shipbuilding. However, as the forests were cleared over the years, the treecutters came into increasing conflict with elves that feared the loss of their entire wood. This would undoubtedly have occurred, had not the hastily gathered mercenary troops of the fledgling land been defeated by the elves at Singing Arrows (884 DR). This battle convinced distant Chondath to abandon its holdings in the region and allow the immigrant Sembians to establish their independence (though as little more than a collection of rival city-states, much like the Moonsea or Vast of today). It also set the stage for the appearance of the Raven. The young country grew strong as farms prospered in the newly cleared lands. Craftsmen arrived from the south to take advantage of this chance to acquire land and wealth, bringing their trades with them. Rauthauvyr the Raven unified the city-states and towns in the face of the continuing "elven menace", and insisted on maintaining a standing army, which he kept in practice by policing Sembia's borders and improving its roads. At this time (913 DR), Sembia became as a true nation. The Moonsea's (Dragon Sea's) mineral wealth was discovered by humankind at about this time, and pressure began to grow for a trade road through the elven woods to make Sembia the world's gateway to all these riches. The Raven went alone as an envoy to the Elven Court. There, he asked the elders of their council to approve a road, open to humans, linking Sembia to the shores of the Dragon Sea (an earlier road had been destroyed during the conflict and was now overgrown). Raven proposed that the elves choose the route and retain control of it and the woods around it, so that no woodcutting or human settlement would occur. The elves had earlier made similar arrangements with the Dalesmen and had no difficulty with the concept of such an agreement. However, the inhabitants of Velarsdale (now Harrowdale) refused the proposal, not wanting or needing such a road at that time (curious, since later a ruler of Harrowdale commissioned the disastrous Halfaxe Trail). The elves, not wishing to offend long-time allies, refused Raven's request. Rebuffed, the Raven then threatened to exterminate the isolated elves in Amothoi, the last embattled remnant of the elves in Sembia, if the Elven Court did not cooperate. If the road were built, however, they would be free to trade, or not trade, as they wished. The elves agreed under this pressure, and Sembia's financial future was secured. Hillsfar, on the shores of the Dragon Sea, became a commercial meeting ground between humankind and elves, as did Elventree. The route the elves chose ran past the base of the Standing Stone as a reminder of earlier, less-hostile dealings between humans and elves. Over the years the elves of Amothoi came north to join their brethren or slipped away to seek Evermeet, leaving their wood to gradually disappear. Sembia grew rich under merchant leaders of increasing wisdom, such as Saer (for whom Saerb was named) and Selgar (for whom Chancelgaunt was renamed as Selgaunt). Before his death, Rauthauvyr the Raven saw that these merchants had a strong standing council of merchant elders to advise them and to ensure that no ruler could hold onto power by force of arms. Then this farsighted man, creator of a nation, now half-blind and infirm from old war wounds, rode north into the elven woods and disappeared. None know what happened to him or where his bones lie, save perhaps some few elder elves. |
| 13146 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€The Fall of Azmaer, Last Drow Marshall of the Twisted Tower: The drow rule of Shadowdale lasted until the early 900s Dale Reckoning, when the increased human population in the area brought the dark elves into conflict with their now more numerous neighbors. The humans were the Dalesmen who a millennium earlier had crossed the Dragon Reach and made peace with the elves of Myth Drannor, settling at the borders of the great woods that was the elven home. The drow soon found themselves under continual attack, and most of those who held overground settlements retreated back below. The last powerful drow leader was Azmaer, the marshall of the Twisted Tower in its last drow-held days. Azmaer oversaw the last retreat of the drow holdings in the face of a human uprising, and held the citadel against a year-long siege. With supplies and slaves brought up from the Underdark directly into the tower, the drow could have conceivably held out forever; however, a human slave (family histories in the Dales indicate a number of possible individuals) poisoned the well in the Tower and the citadel was easily overrun. Azmaer's body was not found among the dead, leading some to believe that he escaped back into the depths to rejoin his people. Noting the fact that he would have had to explain to his matriarch how he lost Shadowdale, it is much more likely that, should Azmaer have survived, he went into voluntary exile, hiding from both human and drow. Given that this occurred only 400 years ago, it is certainly possible that Azmaer still lives. |
| 13147 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Ashaba Becomes First Lord of Shadowdale: Upon taking the Twisted Tower and removing the drow yoke from the people, the Dalesmen had fully established the Dale of Shadowdale, with its seat of power in the tower itself. Its first lord was a water wizard who had aided in the final attack, Ashaba, who was great in age when he ascended, and ruled peacefully for 40 years thereafter. It is said that Ashaba realized he was dying and turned himself to water, merging with the river. Since that time, the river, the ford, and the Twisted Tower all bear his name. Before passing on, Ashaba chose one of his trusted lieutenants as the new lord of Shadowdale. Presented to the people of the Dale, he was made the new lord by acclamation. In an additional honor, the pendant worn by Ashaba was thereafter recognized as a symbol of the lordship in the Dalelands, and was possessed by each of the successive lords following. |
| 13148 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Joadath and the Tyrist Massacre: The past hundred years have been an example of the best and worst of the lords of Shadowdale. All have been nonnative to the Dalelands, though all made the land their home. A century ago the lord of the Dales was one Joadath, a stiff-necked agnostic who denied the power of any god, good or evil, and used force to back up his beliefs. During this time there was a great deal of religious persecution, including a massacre of Tyrists on Watcher's Knoll. Joadath was eventually killed by a beast of the nether planes summoned by parties unknown, which then proceeded to rampage through the Dale. The beast was killed and Shadowdale rescued by the spellcasters Aumry and Sylune. Aumry was proclaimed lord by acclamation. |
| 13149 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Aumry Rules in Peace: The longest period of peaceful rule was by Lord Aumry and his wife Sylune (better known as the Witch of Shadowdale). They ruled over the community for forty years, a period of extended peace with their neighboring dales, nations, and the elven peoples. It was this very peace and power which made the Dale the target for attacks and sabotage by the Black Network (Zhentarim). They sought (and still seek) to control the trade from the Moonsea to the Sword Coast, and desired to make Shadowdale a vassal state of Zhentil Keep. Lord Aumry's rule ended tragically when he was assassinated by Zhentish agents. |
| 13150 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Jyordhan the False Lord: Lord Aumry was assassinated by Zhentarim agents, who in turn were captured and killed by the warrior Jyordhan. Jyordhan, with the Pendant of Ashaba in hand (the symbol of the lordship in the Dales), proceeded to present himself as the new lord, and was so acclaimed by the people. It was unknown to the people that Jyordhan was also an agent of the Zhentarim, and that the entire proceeding had actually been a ruse. Jyordhan abandoned the Twisted Tower, instead establishing himself in Castle Krag east of Shadowdale. His court was soon overrun with agents of the Black Network. When the people eventually revolted, Zhentil Keep sent peace-keeping forces to maintain Jyordhan's rule. Sylune, Lord Aumry's widow, now aware of the deception but a firm pacifist, did her best to keep the Dale healthy and intact during Jyordhan's evil rule. |
| 13151 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Khelben Kills Jyordhan: Lord Jyordhan's rule of Shadowdale ended when he encountered Khelben Arunsun, also called the Blackstaff. The story at the time was that Jyordhan accepted an invitation from Khelben to visit Waterdeep, and there he took ill and died. In reality, Jyordhan ambushed Khelben as the mage was leaving Shadowdale, and the Blackstaff killed him. In either case, Khelben took hold of the Pendant of Ashaba (the symbol of the lordship in the Dales) and returned to Waterdeep with it, promising to send a suitable candidate for lordship to the Dales. Jyordhan had ruled for five years, and without his advocacy, Castle Krag was abandoned and the Zhentil Keep troops routed. Jyordhan's previously chosen successor was a Melvauntan named Lyran, but without the Pendant this individual was considered a pretender to the throne. |
| 13152 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Lords Accepted by Acclamation: This acclamation of the people has formed the basis for choosing the lord of Shadowdale since the routing of the evil Lord Jyordhan by Khelben Blackstaff. Usually a predecessor will step down as opposed to dying in office, and his chosen successor will be approved by the populace at large. This system has had its drawbacks, as will be shown below, but in general, it has served the independent, self-willed people of the Dale very well. They have avoided the "genetic lottery of which good bureaucracies and bad kingships are made" (a quote from the venerable Elminster). The symbol of the lordship is the Pendant of Ashaba, a device owned by the original wizard, and used to determine the rightful lord of the Dale. |
| 13153 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€The Time of No Lords: During the period when Khelben Blackstaff held the Pendant of Ashaba (the symbol of the lordship in the Dales), Sylune (widow of the murdered Lord Aumry) was the de facto ruler of Shadowdale, though these years were known as the Time of No Lords. Sylune and an adventuring company known as Mane's Band were responsible for driving out the Zhentil Keep forces and keeping at bay the monsters in the area. The Twisted Tower, the traditional seat of leadership, remained uninhabited following its abandonment by the evil Lord Jyordhan, and neither Sylune nor the companions of Mane's Band wished to assume the mantle of leader. With time, Mane's Band passed on to other lands and adventures. |
| 13154 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Doust Sulwood Becomes Lord of Shadowdale: Three winters following his defeat of the evil Lord Jyordhan, Khelben Blackstaff found a suitable candidate to assume leadership of the Dales, or rather a group of candidates. They were the Knights of Myth Drannor, so named to show their interest in the elven territories and their connection with the elven peoples, and Khelben gave them the Pendant of Ashaba (the symbol of the Lordship) in return for services rendered to himself and to Shadowdale. Their leader, the ranger Florin Falconhand, refused the honor of the lordship. It was therefore passed to Doust Sulwood, who was made the new lord with the support of Florin and Sylune (wife of the murdered Lord Aumry), and apparently also the secret support of Khelben as well. Doust reoccupied the Twisted Tower, driving out the last agents of the Black Network. He also reinstituted many of Ashaba's democratic ideals, including the Lord's Court where all citizens may speak freely and air their grievances without threat of reprisal. Doust ruled for five years and proved to be a capable ruler, beloved by the people. The regular presence of the Knights of Myth Drannor did much to ensure the protection of the area, particularly against incursions by Lyran Nanther the Pretender. Lyran was to have been Jyordhan's named replacement, but with the Zhentarim routed there was little validity to the claim. |
| 13155 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Elminster Moves to Shadowdale: It is of note that during the time that Doust Sulwood of the Knights of Myth Drannor assumed the role of Lord of Shadowdale, Elminster took up residence in the area. A semi-regular visitor up to that time, he took possession of a low, abandoned tower at the foot of the Old Skull, and declared himself to be officially in retirement. The nature of that retirement varies from active involvement in local affairs to long-term vacations on other planes. The natives of the Dale have come to the understanding that they cannot always count on the powerful mage being in residence in times of need or danger, but when he is present in these circumstances his aid is usually given. |
| 13156 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Doust Chooses Mourngrym Amcathra to Succeed Him: Doust Sulwood, recommended to the position by Khelben Blackstaff, ruled Shadowdale as lord for five years. "Seems like a millennium," he was oft known to have reported, and the tedium of court life and the lure of adventure eventually caused him to retire his position and rejoin the Knights of Myth Drannor in regular adventuring. He handed the Pendant of Ashaba (symbol of the Lordship) on to one of the younger Knights, a Waterdhavian noble named Mourngrym Amcathra. Mourngrym had been dispatched by Khelben from Waterdeep for other purposes, but Doust liked both the young man's straightforward honesty and his willingness to shoulder the burden of protecting the small community from myriad dangers. Time has proven this choice a wise one. |
| 13157 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Shaerl and Mourngrym Meet and Marry: The implications of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun "choosing" the last two lords of Shadowdale (Doust Sulwood and Mourngrym Amcathra) were not lost on the Dale's powerful neighbor to the south, Cormyr. An agent was sent northward to divine Mourngrym's true intentions and to guarantee the Dale's continued good relationship with the throne of the Purple Dragon. The agent was a rogue named Shaerl Rowanmantle, sent by Vangerdahast (though all paperwork on this matter has been curiously incinerated in Suzail, so all is hearsay and tale). Shaerl discovered more than she intended and fell in love with young Mourngrym. The two married and became the lord and lady of Shadowdale. Shaerl's loyalty is now to her husband and to the land they co-rule. This was probably not the intention of the Cormyreans. |
| 13158 History of Shadowdaleâ€â€Mourngrym's Rule: Since being recommended to the position by outgoing Lord Doust Sulwood, Lord Mourngrym Amcathra's rule of Shadowdale has been less peaceful than he had hoped. The First Battle of Shadowdale occurred in the Year of the Prince (1357 DR), and involved Daleland forces routing those of Lyran the Pretender. Lyran has made repeated attempts to gain the Lordship, as was intended by the former Zhentish puppet, Lord Jyordhan. While significant, this battle pales when compared to the larger battle fought on the same site between Bane-led Zhentil Keep forces and the Dales during the Time of Troubles (1358 DR/0 PR). When the Battle of Shadowdale is referred to (without a number), it usually means this second battle. In addition, Mourngrym has had to deal with a large number of skirmishes, incursions, a possible invasion from below, explosions, and other sundry disasters. Mourngrym and Shaerl have one child, Scotti, who is now nine winters old. By the customs of the area, he is not considered the heir apparent, and another suitable warrior or mage may take the reins of power of the small community. Most feel that Mourngrym will hold the Pendant until his son has reached his maturity, then abdicate in young Scotti's favor once he takes his grown name. If this happens, it will be the first occasion of the lordship of Shadowdale passing down through a family. |
| 13159 History of Tethyr: For the past 1500 years, Tethyr has had a single, strong royal family ruling with absolute power. When a king died or became incapacitated, his oldest son took the throne. As the family trees of those close to power became more intertwined and complicated, there were the inevitable wars of succession and bickering over which second cousin was the "true" heir to the throne. Civil wars were brief, however, and once the fighting was over the system returned to normal (until the next major dispute in a few hundred years or so). The established recurring cycle was broken 10 years ago. The current ruling family had been in power for over 350 years, so long that they had dropped their own family name centuries ago (no one even remembers it now) and simply called themselves Tethyr. King Alemander IV was comfortably ruling from Castle Tethyr, and the country seemed happy enough, but there was a broad current of dissatisfaction among the people of Tethyr. Non-humans were forbidden by law to own land, and since most rights and privileges accorded citizens were based on land ownership, they became second-class citizens as well. Things were especially bad for elves, who were driven deep into the Forest of Tethir by royal armies. Alemander IV took land away from rightful owners and gave it to nobles who promised larger contributions to the royal treasury. These social and economic inequities, coupled with several harsh winters and bad harvests in a row, made the time ripe for a change. It takes more than just a couple of lousy winters to depose a king however; it takes treachery as well. In the case of the fall of House Tethyr it took an ambitious general and an impatient royal heir. Prince Alemander grew tired of waiting for the robust Alemander IV to make room for him, so he struck a deal with General Nashram Sharboneth, commander of the king's largest army. While Sharboneth marched his army toward Tethyr, bringing along a sizable group of angry peasants recruited with the promise of land reform, the would-be Alemander V downplayed alarming reports from the king's spies and advisors, silencing the most persistent permanently through murder or exile. By the time Sharboneth's army arrived and laid siege to Castle Tethyr, it was too late for loyalists to help. As Sharboneth launched a direct assault on the castle (using the expendable peasants as shock troops), a handful of elite soldiers let in a secret entrance by the prince would eliminate key guards and open the gates. At the same time, the prince (one of the few people allowed to see the king directly) would murder his father. A fire set by the elite troops would destroy evidence of treachery; the general and the prince would emerge from the conflagration and announce a new, joint government. The plan was executed perfectly, but only up to a point. Sharboneth double-crossed the prince; his men were much too efficient in setting the castle ablaze, and Prince Alemander (along with most of his fellow conspirators) died horribly in the fire. At about the same time, a spy planted on the general's inner staff by the equally duplicitous Alemander murdered the general and dissolved his body with a powerful acid before anyone could come to his aid. To make matters worse, everyone had underestimated the resentment the people felt for the royal family. Once Castle Tethyr began to fall there was no holding back the mob. In one night, the proudest, strongest castle in all the country was reduced to a smoking ruin. Everything of valueâ€â€fine tapestries, plates and silverware, furniture, jewelry, weapons, clothes, armor, paintings, statues, etc.- was either stolen, burned, or just ripped apart and stomped into the dust. As news of the fall of the royal family spread, so did the chaos. In what is now known as the "Ten Black Days of Eleint," anyone known (or even suspected) of blood connection to the royal family was put to the sword. This led to some darkly humorous moments, as social climbers who had bragged just a week before of being a sixth cousin twice removed of a royal aunt tried in vain to convince an angry mob that they were "only kidding." The nobles who were the biggest supporters of the royal family also came under attack, and some baronial keeps fell. Local leaders who had adequately distanced themselves from the Tethyr family, or were popular enough (or feared/strong enough), survived. These surviving nobles became the initial players in the fight to decide the fate of Tethyr. One thing was certain; any leader or type of government that too closely resembled rule under the Tethyrs would not be accepted. "Royalist" became a dirty word in Tethyr society. The power struggle continues to this day, and there is no sign of it ending anytime soon. |
| 13160 History of the Bell in the Depths: One of the great and mysterious sites in the Moonsea area, the Bell in the Depths, is connected with legendary Northkeep, an island kingdom that was the first great citadel of humankind in these cold lands. Northkeep was a great and magical city, and it was under the protection of these magics that humanity first began to press back the orc hordes and take command of the sea. The power of Northkeep made it an obvious target for orcs, giants, and other evil races. However, these creatures were not inclined towards sea actions, and Northkeep seemed safe until the day when (according to legend) 40,000 inhuman mages, shamans, witch doctors, and priests of all foul races gathered on the northern shore of the Moonsea and began to chant, bringing the vengeance of their gods down upon the human interlopers. The gods (at least some of them) came and destroyed their priests for disturbing them, but also sank Northkeep beneath the waves. The upper reaches of Northkeepâ€â€its slender, now-broken spiresâ€â€can be seen beneath the water by boats that sail nearby. This is not attempted often, however, as the region is said to be haunted by the original defenders of Northkeep, seeking company in their watch over the Cold Lands. On fog-ridden nights the bells of the tallest towers, despite being submerged, can be heard as far away as Hillsfar. |
| 13161 History of the Chosen of Mystra: The reason why Mystra, the Goddess of Magic, invested a portion of her divine might in mortals is not known. One of the more popular theories, and one that is gaining more support in light of the goddess' other actions during that period, is that Mystra foresaw the Time of Troubles (and her own passing at the hands of Helm) and chose to give some of her power to mortals in order to ensure that her successor (the female mage Midnight, as it turned out) would have a number of nearly immortal allies in the struggle against the schemes of the gods (the now dead Bane, Myrkul, and Bhaal) who precipitated the Time of Troubles by stealing the Tablets of Fate. The theory goes on to suggest that Mystra informed Azuth at approximately the Year of the Rising Flame (0 DR), more than 1,300 years before the Time of Troubles, that some of her power must be put into the hands of mortals who would then become known as Mystra's Chosen. This power would sleep within the bodies of those mortals, allowing Mystra to call on it only with their permission. It would give the Chosen the innate ability to heal quickly, and would give them life spans far greater than those of ordinary mortals. Mystra speculated that these mortals might be able to call on her power and thereby gain some special abilities, but that these powers would not rival those of a deity. (See "Powers" below.) The Goddess of All Magic then began to select mortals she thought to be suitable. One of the first was the young mage Elminster, and she also singled out a promising wizard named Khelben Arunsun. Both have proved to be worthy and capable receptacles of her power, but Mystra's other early attempts to invest her power in living humans were unsuccessful, and she came to realize that only very few mortals were of stern enough substance to contain such power within themselves without being destroyed or corrupted. Even though some people aside from Elminster and Khelben may have possessed the requisite strength, it is possible that having lived for years prior to being visited by Mystra had set them on a path from which they were not able to deviate. Whatever the reason, the problem needed to be solved. To get around the difficulty, Mystra devised a plan to use herself as a vessel to breed individuals who could be nurtured and acclimated to her power from the very beginnings of their lives. For the father of these individuals, she picked the best example of human stock she could find: Dornal Silverhand, a nobleman and a former Harper who lived near Neverwinter. Mystra then possessed the body of Elue Shundar, a half-elven sorceress whom Dornal was already attracted to. Mystra revealed her presence and her plan to Elue, who happily and eagerly agreed to have the goddess share her body. Elue had been reluctant, but under the influence of Mystra the woman became a seductress, and Dornal found his advances being suddenly returned with great fervor. Dornal and Mystra/Elue were wed in the Year of Drifting Stars (760 DR). The first of seven daughters, Anastra Sylune, was born the following winter. Sylune's six sisters emerged at one-year intervals thereafter: Endue Alustriel, Ambara Dove, Ethena Astorma (she prefers the shortened "Storm" these days), Anamanue Laeral, Alassra Shentrantra (known today as the Simbul), and Er'sseae Qilue. These siblings have become known in Realmsian lore as the Seven Sisters. Dornal, who had been kept in the dark about his wife's true nature through the years (presumably because Mystra didn't want to risk losing his services), was disappointed and nearly distraught by the time his sixth child was born; he had always wanted sons as well as daughters. More importantly, he was seeing his wife deteriorate right before his eyes. The strain of coexisting with the goddess all these years had turned Elue into a withered shellâ€â€in essence a lich, clinging to life only because Mystra's power was within her. When Elue was carrying the seventh child, Dornal consulted a priest who told him his wife had been possessed by an entity of great magical power. To spare both of them any further agony, he attempted to slay his wife's physical form by severing her head from her body. As soon as he had done this, Mystra was forced to reveal herself to him, and she went on to explain her scheme. Just as she had worried would happen, Dornal was aghast at how he and his wife had been used by the goddess. He turned his back on the corpse of his wife, abandoned his lands and his children, and vanished into the North. Mystra bore him no ill will, and in fact protected him for the final 30 years of his life. When Dornal finally did meet his end he called out to Mystra, and the goddess granted him continued existence as her servant. Now known as the Watcher, Dornal Silverhand travels the world unseen by mortals on a continuing mission to locate candidates to swell the ranks of the Chosen and to identify possible threats to Mystra and her minions. |
| 13162 History of the Dales and the Elven Court: The founding of the Dalelands long preceded the creation of any of the existing Dales by hundreds of years, and the year numbering system known as Dalereckoning is actually a commemoration of humankind being given permission to settle in the lands north and west of the Inner Sea. Most of the current Dales are relative newcomers, the older having been abandoned, destroyed, or overrun long ago. In those ancient days, when Suzail and Chondathan (now called Saerloon) were mere coastal trading posts, the elves who ruled this forest entertained a request from settlers from the East; refugees and farmers from far-off Impiltur and Damara. This request was to farm and settle the borders of the great forest Cormanthor, in particular the rich delves and dales along the rivers Arkhen and Ashaba. These newcomers did not wish to lumber or clear the inhabited forest, but only to settle on the rich territories on its edges, and unlike some other settlers (early Sembia comes to mind) were willing to ask permission. The lords of the Elven Court granted that request in return for aid from these new Dalelanders against outside aggression, both monstrous (orcs and goblins from the lands of Thar) and human (the rising powers in Cormyr and Sembia). In commemoration of this pact, humans and elves raised the Standing Stone that is now seen where the Moonsea Ride reaches Rauthauvyr's Road, the road from Essembra to Hillsfar. It is from the date of the raising of this stone that Dalereckoning is counted. According to the pact made, the Dalesmen would only settle those regions that were unforested or unclaimed by the elves. As the elven woods receded under the axes of further invaders and settlers, old Dales perished and new ones came into being along the borders of the woods. People, both good and bad, have raised petty nations in the Dalelands since, though any one Dale that turned against the pact would have to deal with the others. Each of the Dales is a large swath of farms and fields, with a few scattered settlements and usually one central marketplace, capital, or Dale center. These centers are often, but not always, named after the Dales they are in, adding to the confusion as to what is a Daleland's territory. The Dales are not city-states, for their largest groupings of population rate as towns at best, and they lack the defensive walls common throughout the Heartlands. They are neither true nations in the fashion of Cormyr or Sembia, and occupy a gray middle ground wherein they are nothing more, or less, than Dales. Each Dale has slightly different laws, customs, and military organizations. Many rely on the work of charismatic heroes and adventuring companies for aid in times of trouble, and a large number of these individuals use the region as a base. This attraction for adventurers is further increased by the large number of elven and pre-elven ruins in the area and the departure of the Elven Court for Evermeet, leaving the woods open for exploration and exploitation. The history of the Dales is filled with battles and attacks on its various members. In the Year of the Worm (1356 DR), Scardale, under the command of Lashan Aumersair, launched a number of swift attacks, conquering a number of the surrounding Dales. A coalition of forces from the others, as well as Sembia, Cormyr, and Zhentil Keep crushed the invaders and occupied Scardale. During the Time of Troubles (1358 DR/0 PR), Shadowdale was attacked by Zhentil Keep. More recently, the Dalelands have committed forces to a unified army under King Azoun IV of Cormyr to turn back the Tuigan Invasion (1360 DR). |
| 13163 History of the Dead Three: 'KNUCKLEBONES, SKULL BOWLING, AND THE EMPTY THRONE' In ages past there was but one god of strife, death, and the dead, and he was known as Jergal, Lord of the End of Everything. Jergal fomented and fed on the discord among mortals and powers alike. When beings slew each other in their quest for power or in their hatred, he welcomed them into his shadowy kingdom of eternal gloom. As all things died, everything came to him eventually, and over time he built his power into a kingdom unchallenged by any other god. Eventually, however, he grew tired of his duties for he knew them too well. Without challenge there is nothing, and in nothingness there is only gloom. In such a state, the difference between absolute power and absolute powerlessness is undetectable. During this dark era, there arose three powerful mortalsâ€â€Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkulâ€â€who lusted after the power Jergal wielded. The trio forged an unholy pact, agreeing that they would dare to seek such ultimate power or die in the attempt. Over the length and breadth of the realms they strode, seeking powerful magic and spells and defying death at every turn. No matter what monster they confronted or what spells they braved, the three mortals emerged unscathed at every turn. Eventually the trio destroyed one of the Seven Lost Gods, and they each seized a portion of his divine essence for themselves. The trio then journeyed into the Gray Waste and sought out the Castle of Bone. Through armies of skeletons, legions of zombies, hordes of noncorporeal undead, and a gauntlet of liches they battled. Eventually they reached the object of their lifelong questâ€â€the Bone Throne. "I claim this throne of evil," shouted Bane the tyrant. "I'll destroy you before you can raise a finger," threatened Bhaal the assassin. "And I shall imprison your essence for eternity," promised Myrkul the necromancer. Jergal arose from his throne with a weary expression and said, "The Throne is yours. I have grown weary of this empty power. Take it if you wishâ€â€I promise to serve and guide you as your seneschal until you grow comfortable with the position." Before the stunned trio could react, the Lord of the Dead continued: "Who among you shall rule?" The trio immediately fell to fighting amongst themselves while Jergal looked on with indifference. When eventually it appeared that either they would all die of exhaustion or battle on for an eternity, the Lord of the End of Everything intervened. "After all you have sacrificed, would you come away with nothing? Why don't you divide the portfolios of the office and engage in a game of skill for them?" asked Jergal. Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul considered the god's offer and agreed. Jergal took the heads of his three most powerful liches and gave them to the trio that they would compete by bowling the skulls. Each mortal rolled a skull across the Gray Waste, having agreed that the winner would be he who bowled the farthest. Malar the Beastlord arrived to visit Jergal at this moment. After quickly ascertaining that the winner of the contest would get all of Jergal's power, he chased off after the three skulls to make sure that the contest would be halted until he had a chance to participate for part of the prize. Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul again fell to fighting as it was obvious their sport was ruined, and again Jergal intervened. "Why don't you allow Lady Luck to decide so you don't have to share with the Beast?" The trio agreed, and Jergal broke off his skeletal finger bones and gave them to the players. When Malar returned from chasing the skulls, he found that the trio had just finished a game of knucklebones. Bane cried out triumphantly, "As winner, I choose to rule for all eternity as the ultimate tyrant. I can induce hatred and strife at my whim, and all will bow down before me while in my kingdom." Myrkul, who had won second place, declared, "But I choose the dead, and by doing so I truly win, because all you are lord over, Bane, will eventually be mine. All things must dieâ€â€even gods." Bhaal, who finished third, demurred, "I choose death, and it is by my hand that all that you rule Lord Bane will eventually pass to Lord Myrkul. Both of you must pay honor to me and obey my wishes, since I can destroy your kingdom, Bane, by murdering your subjects, and I can starve your kingdom, Myrkul, by staying my hand." Malar growled in frustration, but could do nothing, and yet again only the beasts were left for him. And Jergal merely smiled, for he had been delivered. |
| 13164 History of the Dragon Coast: The history of the Dragon Coast is the history of money, particularly the darker side of the coin. Situated on the main trade routes between the Inner Sea and the Sword Coast, these lands never coalesced into a solid, coherent nation, like Cormyr or Sembia. Instead small petty city-states have risen and fallen, powered by greed and the most powerful merchant or pirate faction of the day. As a result, the Dragon Coast has always been the home of the smuggler, the pirate, the rogue, and the hired killer. It has been the place where those seeking to skirt the laws of more civilized nations to the north make landfall. It is here that the Red Wizards gain their access to the Western Heartlands, and where the Cult of the Dragon launches its plots to the south. And it is here that independent secret societies and assassin guilds have their greatest power. The last semblance of organized resistance to this trend was the reign of Verovan, last of the kings of Westgate. The monarchy of Westgate had long worked closely with the various mercantile and pirate factions, but Verovan attempted to stem the growing power of the merchant houses and petty lords. His sudden and mysterious death without acceptable heirs in 1248 DR opened the door for much of what now is commonplace in the Dragon Coastâ€â€corruption and treachery. It should be noted that while Verovan's name is still venerated in these lands, better known is Immurk, the greatest of the Inner Sea Pirates, a brash and flamboyant rogue who united a pirate fleet beneath him and ruled from 1164 DR to his death in 1201 DR. Such it is in the Dragon Coast, that good people are venerated, but the power of darker rogues is imitated. |
| 13165 History of the Drow, The Descent: We know very little of the Ilythiiri, or "elves of the South," before this crucial event. Even then they were known as "dark elves," for the hue of their skins. They dwelt in the jungles and hot forests of the South. A proud, warlike, culturally advanced (some sages of other elven peoples say "decadent") folk, the Ilythiiri attacked all neighbors, including other elven tribes. Their cruel raids and depredations, ordered by warlike nobility and the clergy of their two cruel deities, Ghaunadaur and Lolth, forced elves, humans, dwarves, and others to ally against them. Defeated in a series of titanic magical battles, the dark elves fled into underground warrens they had earlier discovered. This event, known as "the Descent," marked the end of the drow as a surface-dwelling race. |
| 13166 History of the Drow, The Dark Wars: The warlike drow nature did not change when they escaped their surface foes during the Descent. In fact, they immediately launched a series of wars to establish territories in the Underdark. They began by stealing and seizing dwarven magical items and using them against the dwarvesâ€â€establishing an enmity that is still strong today. The drow then fought among themselves, noble against noble, priest against priestess, for rule of their new realm. This all-out war ended amid great magical explosions that brought down the roof of the largest dwarven cavern they had seized, great Bhaerynden. The ceiling collapsed entirely, burying many drow and the shattered dwarven cities. The cavern, now open to the sky, became known as the Great Rift. The surviving drow nobles gathered what people, slaves, and equipment they could seize and fled into the Underdark in search of places to dwell. "The Scattering" brought about the many rival, self-interested cities where most drow live today. |
| 13167 History of the Fateful Coin: Old tales tell that luck plays a crucial role in each person's life. When each newborn baby enters into the realms, Tymora flips a coin formed from the remnants of the original goddess of luck, Tyche. Beshaba calls it in the airâ€â€the moon (heads) or the cloak (tails). If Beshaba is right, that person is cursed with misfortune for the rest of his or her days. If she's wrong, Lady Luck smiles on that child for the rest of his or her life. For some rare beings, the coin lands edge onâ€â€and these luckless few can forge their own fates, for they have more freedom over their destinies than the powers themselves. |
| 13168 History of the Last March of the Giants: East of the Great Rift in the Eastern Shaar once stood a land of the titans. This empire rose at the dawn of time in Faerûn, and its lords thought to challenge the gods in their arrogance. In punishment, the powers cursed the reigning monarch of the land with fascination and his brethren with devotion. The powers then dropped a star onto the land. The impact of the fallen star created a huge valley later known as the Sea of Fallen Stars. Slowly picking up speed, the ball rolled through the titan nation and onward to the south. Unable to contain his curiosity, the titan king ran off after the bouncing sphere and his devoted followers dutifully followed his tracks. The meteorite rolled on and on until it reached the Great Sea and vanished into the depths. The monarch dove into the sea, and, lemminglike, the entire titan race dove in after him, never to be seen again. Ashamed at the destruction they had wrought, the powers vowed to keep both curiosity and loyalty firmly in check to avoid such disasters in the future. They have done so to this day, preventing both new ideas from being pursued with any speed and the intelligent races of Toril from ever fully cooperating. |
| 13169 History of the Moonsea: The Moonsea has a long history as the border between the elven lands to the south and the darker, more sinister lands of the Ride and Thar, home of dragons and giant and ogre tribes in great multitudes. The deep sea was an excellent barrier to the raiders, as those tribes who sought invasion had to detour around and through the lands that would eventually hold Yulash, Zhentil Keep, and Hillsfar. The first true settlement in Moonsea was Northkeep, a shining citadel established as a beacon of civilization and a jumping-off point for merchants seeking trade with the dwarves of the Northâ€â€including not only Tethyamar, but the clans of the Cold Landsâ€â€who traded their metalwork and craft for much-needed magic. In the end, Northkeep was sunk beneath the icy waters of the Moonsea by the inhuman forces, and humankind suffered one of many setbacks in the region. So has been the nature of human habitation of this region since the beginning. Human settlements thrive for a few years, usually through sheer willpower and on the strength of a sharp sword, and then are overrun by goblins, orcs, dragons, beholders, or giants. Phlan has fallen and risen again. Yulash is a ruin where a decade ago there was a thriving town. Hulburg and Sulasspryn are empty hulks. Each of the cities of the Moonsea seems threatened with extinction in its turn, then is rebuilt. This cycle may be the reason that only the strongest and the most savage survive, even prosper, in the lands of the Moonsea. The greatest citiesâ€â€Hillsfar, Mulmaster, and the impenetrable Zhentil Keepâ€â€are all ruled by evil people who control their lands with iron grips. The lesser cities, Elventree, Phlan, and Thentia, may be less evil, but have a strong, independent, almost chaotic nature. In many ways the Moonsea is a frontier, with a frontier mentality. |
| 13170 History of the Northâ€â€The First Flowering: For millennia, gold elves dwelt in Illefarn (where Waterdeep now stands) and Eaerlann (along the River Shining). From their ornate forest cities, they traded with emerging human nations like Netheril and Illusk and repulsed the attacks of the goblin races. Meanwhile, dwarven clans united as the nation of Delzoun, named for the dwarf who forged the union. The nation, existing primarily underground, extended from the Ice Mountains to the Nether Mountains. Silver Moon Pass was its western border and the Narrow Sea its eastern shore. Orcs came from north of the Spine of the World but were turned back in great slaughter by the elves. To this day, this is the homeland and stronghold for orcs and similar races. |
| 13171 History of the Northâ€â€The Crown Wars: Humans immigrated in bands from the Shining Sea and up to the Sword Coast. They became seafarers, striking out across the waves to the Moonshaes, Mintarn, Ruathym, and the northern islands. Elves engaged in an unceasing war against each other, with the humans and orcs taking over the resulting ruins. Perhaps the greatest calamity to befall the Fair Folk was the Dark Disaster, a killing magic that took the form of a dark, burning cloud. It enshrouded the kingdom of Miyeritar, and when it faded away some months later, not an elf livedâ€â€nor were trees left, only an open, blasted moor: the High Moor. All was not dark for the elves. Although in retreat, as barbarian humans and orc hordes grew in strength, their power rose in the Elven Court and Evereska (remaining a stronghold to this day). They conceived of cooperation between dwarves, kindly humans, and other elves for mutual survival against orcs, marauding humans, and the tide of beasts (ogres, bugbears, trolls, goblins, gnolls, and other nonhuman creatures) led by the rising power of giants. Astonishingly, in at least three placesâ€â€the Fallen Kingdoms and the cities of Silverymoon and Myth Drannorâ€â€they succeeded with shining grace. To the east, on the sandy shores of the calm and shining Narrow Sea, human fishing villages grew into small towns and then joined together as the nation of Netheril. Sages believe the fishing towns were unified by a powerful human wizard who had discovered a book of great magic power that had survived from the Days of Thunderâ€â€a book that legend calls the Nether Scrolls. Under this nameless wizard and those who followed, Netheril rose in power and glory, becoming both the first human land in the North and the most powerful. Some say this discovery marked the birth of human wizardry, since before then, mankind had only shamans and witch doctors. For over three thousand years, Netheril dominated the North, but even its legendary wizards were unable to stop their final doom. |
| 13172 History of the Northâ€â€Recent History of the North: In the waning summer months of 1367, an immense orc horde descended from the Spine of the World, intent on winding its way south into the trade lands of the North. This force of orcs, led by King Greneire, surged its way south between the Moonwood and the Cold Wood, stopping just outside the Citadel of Many Arrows. King Obould, orc ruler of the Citadel of Many Arrows, was terrified at the prospect of another orc horde, despite the fact that he knew they should be working together against the humans of the North and the spawn of Hellgate Keep. His tribal shamans, however, had been predicting a treacherous fall of the citadelâ€â€and they'd told the king that he'd be disposed by other orcs. Thus, it was a dark day when King Greneire and his horde of 150,000 orcs appeared on the plains outside the Citadel of Many Arrows. King Obould announced to his followers that this horde had been sent to dislodge them from their home and send them out to be scavengers among the plains. He vowed that, as Gruumsh as his witness, the Citadel of Many Arrows would slaughter these treacherous orcs "like elves during a festival." For four months, the forty thousand orcs within the citadel held their ground. Assault after assault was mounted against the high walls of the garrison, but the attacking orcs were losing far more than the defenders. Still, the living conditions within the wallsâ€â€never too good to begin withâ€â€created losses of their own. The battle for the Citadel of Many Arrows culminated during the first week of Uktar. As another light blanket of snow sought to bury the gathered orcs, King Greneire threw his entire remaining army at the citadel, bursting its gates and pitting orc against orc in a flurry of swords. As the two orc kings sought one another out along the ramparts, the citadel began to burn. The orcs that survive the battle still speak of the extraordinary prowess of the two kings as they battled one another before their troops. Finally, however, King Obould ran Greneire through with his long sword, but Obould was severely wounded by the time Greneire had breathed his last breath. The orcs erupted into battle once again, and no one is quite certain what became of King Obould. It was through the smoke and snow that the victors of the conflict emerged: the dwarves of Clan Warcrown along with a contingent of troops from Silverymoon. Charging in through the shattered gates, these new attackers quickly routed the exhausted orcs of the citadel, sending them scurrying off into the wilderness. King Emerus Warcrown now rules the Citadel of Many Arrows, though the dwarves now call the city by its old name of Felbarr. Most in the North still tend to refer to the city as the Citadel, however, waiting to see if it can withstand the next orc horde. King Warcrown has put out a call for all dwarves to help defend the citadel, and news of a new vein of gold and silver is spreading rapidly through dwarven communities. |
| 13173 History of the Northâ€â€The Elven Exodus: This era left behind elven strongholds ripe for pillaging by humans and orcs. When elves chose to leave the North and travel to Evermeet, their works quickly disappeared, leaving only places like the Old Road and a ruined port in the High Forest to mark Eaerlann's passing. And yet it was not only the elves who would disappear from their long-held homes; the human nation of Netheril also stood on the brink of history. Doom for Netheril came in the form of a desert, devouring the Narrow Sea and spreading to fill its banks with dry dust and blowing sand. Legend states that when the great wizards of Netheril realized their land was lost, they abandoned it and their countrymen, fleeing to all corners of the world and taking the secrets of wizardry with them. More likely, this was a slow migration that began three thousand years ago and reached its conclusion fifteen hundred years later. Whatever the truth, wizards no longer dwelled in Netheril. To the north, the once-majestic dwarven stronghold of Delzoun fell upon hard days. Then the orcs struck. Orcs have always been foes in the North, surging out of their holes every few tens of generations when their normal haunts can no longer support their burgeoning numbers. This time they charged out of their caverns in the Spine of the World, poured out of abandoned mines in the Graypeaks, screamed out of lost dwarfholds in the Ice Mountains, raged forth from crypt complexes in the Nether Mountains, and stormed upward from the bowels of the High Moon Mountains. Never before or since has there been such an outpouring of orcs. Delzoun crumbled before this onslaught and was driven in on itself. Netheril, without its wizards, was wiped from the face of history. The Eaerlann elves alone withstood the onslaught and, with the aid of the treants of Turlang and other unnamed allies, were able to stave off the final days of their land for yet a few centuries more. In the east, Eaerlann built the fortress of Ascalhorn and turned it over to refugees from Netheril as Netherese followers built the town of Karse in the High Forest. The fleeing Netherese founded Llorkh and Loudwater. Others wandered the mountains, hills, and moors north and west of the High Forest, becoming ancestors of the Uthgardt and founders of Silverymoon, Everlund, and Sundabar. |
| 13174 History of the Northâ€â€The Spread of Humankind: The adaptable humans made use of magic they could seize or learn from the Proud Peoples to defeat all enemies, breaking (for a time) the power of giants and orcs. Waterdeep was founded. The last of the pureblood elves died out, a result of continued marriages with humans. In the far west, men also dwelledâ€â€wise, clever primitives called the Ice Hunters. They lived simple lives on the coast since time beyond reckoning, countless generations before Netheril's first founders set foot on the Narrow Sea's western shore. Yet this peaceful folk fell prey to another invasion from the south: crude longships that carried a tall, fair-haired, warlike race who displaced the Ice Hunters from their ancestral lands. This race, known as the Northmen, spread farms and villages along the coast from the banks of the Winding Water to the gorges of the Mirar. Northmen warriors drove the simple Ice Hunters farther and farther north, forced the goblinkin back into their mountain haunts, and instigated the last Council of Illefarn. Within five hundred years of the Northmen's arrival, Illefarn was no moreâ€â€its residents had migrated to Evermeet. From the Coast, Northmen sailed westward, claiming and establishing colonies on the major western islands of Ruathym and Gundarlun, eventually spreading to all the islands in the northern sea. Others migrated northward, past the Spine of the World, and became the truly savage barbarians of Icewind Dale. In the centuries that followed, Ascalhorn became Hellgate Keep when it fell into the hands of fiends, and Eaerlann collapsed under the attack of a new orc horde. The elves fled southeast, joining with Northmen, Netherese descendants, and dwarves to form what would later be known as the Fallen Kingdom. This realm was short-lived and collapsed under the next orcish invasionâ€â€though in dying, it dealt the goblin races a blow from which they have yet to recover. |
| 13175 History of the Northâ€â€The Might of Men: Along the coast, in what was once the elven community of Illefarn, humanity was once again rising in power. Merchants from the south, tribesmen from the North, and seafarers from western islands had created a village around a trading post on a deep-water harbor, first known as Nimoar's Hold after the Uthgardt chieftain whose tribe seized and fortified the ramshackle village. Nimoar and his successors, known as War Lords, led the men of Waterdeep (as it had become known to ship captains) in a slowly losing battle against the trolls. In a final, climactic battle, the trolls breached the aging palisade and all seemed lostâ€â€until the magic of Ahghairon of Silverymoon turned luck against the trolls, destroying and scattering them. Ahghairon, heir to the heritage and learning of Netheril, stayed in Waterdeep, and in his 112th year he again saved the cityâ€â€this time from itself. In so doing, he created the Lords of Waterdeep. The city grew into the greatest in the North, possibly in all Faerûn. With Waterdeep as a firm anchor, civilization forged cautiously into the wilderness. Illuskan (now Luskan) was taken from the orcs. Loudwater, Llorkh, Triboar, Longsaddle, Secomber, and other towns were settled by pioneers from Waterdeep, sponsored by Waterdhavian merchant families. Though it's been centuries since the last orc invasion, there's still constant strife. Barbarians harass merchants, travelers, and towns, the seas swim with Northmen pirates, and wars have marred the land in recent years. Luskan, now a fierce merchant city known to harborâ€â€and supportâ€â€pirates, waged a war with the island realm of Ruathym over an act of piracy against one of the few legitimate Luskan merchant ships. The war raged for nearly a year, with Ruathym slowly losing ground. When it appeared Luskan would finally win the naval war and land on the island itself, the Lords' Alliance entered the fray. They threatened war against Luskan if the skirmishes didn't stop immediately. Unable to fight a two-front war efficiently, Luskan canceled its invasion plans. Tensions between Luskan and Ruathym are still high, and their ships are often seen taking potshots at each other as they pass, often just a wave or two away from each other. The government of Ruathym has recently been sending adventurers into the hills of its island realm, looking for mercenaries who are killing merchants, farmers, and woodsmen. Ruathym believes Luskan still has a presence on the island, trying to win through subversion and terrorism what it could not accomplish through war. To the far north, the Ten Towns have finished rebuilding after being nearly destroyed by the monstrous forces of Akar Kessel. With help from the tundra barbarians living nearby, they've built and repaired their cities, replanted the sparse foliage, andâ€â€most importantlyâ€â€replenished the morale of their citizens. A recent trader who passed through the area carrying 17 wagons of rare oak lumber said that it was nearly impossible to determine who's a barbarian and who isn't. "They're living together!" he reported in amazement. |
| 13176 History of the Northâ€â€1368, Year of the Banner: As the dwarves settled in for the winter in their reclaimed city of Felbarr, a group of Zhentarim-sponsored adventurers broke into Great Worm Cavern, slaying Elrem the Wise, shaman leader of the Great Worm tribe. As the tribe's warriors descended into the ranks of the evil adventurers, teleportation magic spirited at least three of those responsibleâ€â€as well as a vast amount of treasure stolen from Elremâ€â€to safety. According to Themrin, the tribe's present shaman, Elrem promised to "watch over the tribe in spirit now that my mortal form is destroyed." Despite the reassuring words of Elrem, the tribe suffered through an oppressive winter that included both heavy snow, scarce game, and low morale. Trusted visitors to the barbarian encampment report that Themrin and Gweshen "Ironhand" Talistars are wearing some form of armor made from the scales of Elrem. This use of their former shaman's body as "protection" was supposedly ordained through a dream vision. The armor appears as little more than a supple leather armor, but seems to deflect blows and protect as well as full plate mail. Nesme reported a drastic rise in the number of troll attacks in the Evermoors, and various sources confirm that something is driving the trolls out of the moors. Whatever is behind the trolls' exodus is destined to remain a mystery for the remainder of the year, as adventuring parties expend themselves against the never-ending supply of trolls that are fleeing the bog. In the most surprising move of the year, the Blue Bear Tribe, led by the shaman/chieftain Tanta Hagara, marched on the fiend-ridden fortress of Hellgate Keep. While a brief struggle for political control of the city was reported by various sources, Tanta Hagara emerged as the new ruler of the city. |
| 13177 History of the Northâ€â€1369, Year of the Gauntlet: The tumultuous climate of Hellgate Keep continued to provide adventuring activity. A group of Harpers infiltrated the city using cloaking magic and revealed that Tanta Hagara was actually an annis. This revelation did nothing to hamper the Blue Bear's respect for their powerful chieftain however, and the city responded to the unmasking by attacking caravans en route to Sundabar. In addition, a few expeditionary forces of tanar'ri were sent to harass the Citadel of the Mists, Sundabar, and Silverymoon. Tanta Hagara informed her "loyal troops" that gates existed in these cities that could allow other tanar'ri to "join us in the glorious battles to come as we take control of all of the North!" Alustriel cast powerful magical spells in the defense of Silverymoon against the raiding tanar'ri, and the city itself suffered no damage from their attack. The Mistmaster of the Citadel of the Mists likewise aided in the defense of his citadel, though reports still rage about the assistance of the treants of the High Forest. Sundabar suffered from Hellgate Keep's attack, as the fiends broke through the walls and raised havoc along the city streets. While adventurers battled the fiends, Helm Dwarfriend led a large contingent of the city guard to drive the remainder from Sundabar. Still, the fiends from Hellgate Keep left the city with the satisfaction of knowing that it was burning in their wake. Within two days, however, the fires were extinguished, and Sundabar has since rebuilt from the attack. By mid Eleasias, rumors that Turlang, the powerful treant who resides in the northern High Forest, was actively defending the woodlands near the Citadel of the Mists reached the ears of Tanta Hagara, the hag-ruler of Hellgate Keep. News that Turlang was aiding the Mistmaster did not escape her notice, and the belief that the Citadel of the Mists was holding an extraplanar artifact only added to the hag's interest. Tanta assembled a large force consisting of more than one hundred tanar'ri and other fiends as well as five hundred members of the Blue Bear tribe to raze the Citadel of the Mists. But as the evil forces marched their way into the High Forest, the Mistmaster put his own plan into motion. Two Harper agents, a bard named Cryshana Fireglen and a priest of Mystra known as Spellviper, infiltrated Hellgate Keep disguised as members of the Blue Bear tribe. Each carried with them part of an extraplanar artifact called the Gatekeeper's Crystal. The Gatekeeper's Crystal is an artifact shaped like a three-pointed star that is made of onyx and an unknown metal that entwines itself through the gem. Each point of the star is a separate piece that can be combined together to create the artifact or separated to form three powerful magical items. While the crystal can be used in different manners, it was primarily created to bring down wards, including mythals and other powerful protections. According to legend, it was created by a powerful lich who used it to render clerics powerless, stripping them of their ability to turn undead and nullifying necromantic magic within a 50-mile radius. The Mistmaster had a different use for the Gatekeeper's Crystal, but he needed volunteers to aid him in placing two shards of the crystal at precise locations within the warded city of Hellgate Keep. In particular, he needed two people who would be willing to trade their lives to exterminate the fiends of Hellgate Keep forever. Spellviper and Cryshana agreed to the suicide mission. Holding the pieces of the crystal, the two Harpers waited for the Mistmaster to activate the magic with his third piece, initiating the magic that would tear Hellgate Keep asunder. When a blazing beam of purple energy illuminated the skies over the keep, no one within the fiend's stronghold had time to wonder what was happening. The power of the Gatekeeper's Crystal forced the wards to cascade upon the city, causing an implosion that shook the ground for more than one hundred miles. As quickly as the wards surrounding Hellgate Keep collapsed, the crystal released the magical energy in an explosion that leveled every building in the city, leaving nothing but fist-sized chunks of rocks where Hellgate Keep once stood. Not a living creature stirred in the remains; all was silent and lifeless. The force of tanar'ri from Hellgate Keep was unsure what had happened but had felt the tremor when the Gatekeeper's Crystal had been activated. They were fighting for their own lives, however, as the treants, korred, centaurs, satyrs, dryads, and other creatures of the High Forestâ€â€including defenders of the Citadel of the Mistsâ€â€battered them into the moist earth. One of the North's most notable rulers fell in the battle, however, but he took at least six tanar'ri with him to his grave. Faurael Blackhammer, the lord protector of Triboar, fell alongside his troops near the conclusion of the conflict. Within weeks after the final battle with Hellgate Keep, treants blocked passage farther north at the joining of the Heart-blood and Delimbiyr rivers. While the treants care little for hunters and adventurers passing through the area, all caravans seeking passage north to Sundabar have been repulsedâ€â€and this is not a matter that the treants wish to negotiate. In another mishap blamed on Turlang, Turnstone Pass was blocked by a tremendous avalanche. This final calamity sealed the Upvale from any major force of men. Travel into the area formerly occupied by Hellgate Keep is now limited to adventurers and other brave travelers. The Mistmaster has been questioned repeatedly by some of the most powerful wizards in the realms, including Elminster of Shadowdale and Khelben Arunsun, about the current location of the Gatekeeper's Crystal. Most sources claim that the pieces of the crystal have been scattered amongst the planes again, but no one is certain. Near Nesme, the source of the trolls' exodus is revealed. Fog and cloud giants have taken up residence in the moor, driving the trolls from the giants' new "homeland." While it's unknown how many giants have taken up residence in the High Moor, estimates range up to several hundred. A thick mist continually hangs in the air of the Evermoors now, even more persistent and thick than the mist before the giants' arrival. Many believe that these new mists are the work of the cloud giants, but none can be certain. Alustriel of Silverymoon sent a detachment of guards to investigate the eastern borders of the moor, and the guards returned with news that a gathering of around twenty fog giants who were "of good nature and quite friendly" had taken up residence in a formerly troll-infested area. Guards from neighboring Nesme were not so fortunate, however, running into a clan of violent, boulder-hurling fog and cloud giants who nearly decimated their unit. In addition, a group of adventurers crawled into Nesme with terrible burns, reporting that they had run into a black dragon at a fog giant encampment. Overall, it appears that both good and evil giants now call the moor their home. |
| 13178 History of the Northâ€â€Return of the Beast (1367- ?): Sages, philosophers, historians, and priests alike feel an ill-boding in the chill air. They predict a slow change over the next decade, but within the lifetime of men born on the first day of this age. They believe that the beasts that once ruled the land plan to return to claim what's rightfully theirs, imprisoning and enslaving the crowns. Where elves once reigned, men now rule, but their holdâ€â€as true for all civilizations beforeâ€â€is tenuous at best. |
| 13179 History of the Northâ€â€1370, Year of the Tankard: Even before spring has graced the Savage North, reports of treants massing in the High Forest have reached all of the northern cities. It seems that all of the creatures of the forest have mobilized to restore the High Forest after the fall of Hellgate Keep. Something must still reside below the ruins of Hellgate Keep, however, for the Company of the Jaded Heart never emerged from the depths below the city. The treants have since blocked entrance into the ruins, sealing whatever evil still lurks within far below the sight of man. But there is other activity in the North as well. Luskan still flirts with war, tempting neighboring cities and yet staying just below the wrath of Waterdeep. The barbarians still brew in the north, quick to take offense at innocent incursions into their sacred holdings. Rumors of Zhentarim agents scouring the Fallen Lands for powerful magic from long-lost Netheril continue to circulate. And adventurers still abound in the Savage Frontier. |
| 13180 History of the Red Ravens: One of the few long-standing mercenary companies that operate in Cormyr, the Red Ravens have a strength on paper of 110 swords, but can easily triple that number with new hires if they get a sufficiently large contract. They have been kept on retainer by the government of Cormyr with the stated purpose of cleaning out the Stonelands to the north. They have been moderately successful in this goal, but the Stonelands are still far from being a safe territory. The Red Ravens are commanded by Rayanna the Rose, a veteran of the Horde crusade. They are noted for their honesty and trustworthiness, as they do not wish to jeopardize their royal charter. Most of their troops are armed with studded leather and carry long swords. They charge 200 gold pieces per week for the services of their 110-being unit. Their symbol is a red raven amulet. |
| 13181 History of the Sisters of Light and Darkness: This was the birth of the world and the heavens. After Lord Ao created Realmspace, there was a period of timeless nothingness, a misty realm of shadows before light and dark were separate entities. Within this dim chaos stalked 13 lords of shadow, the Shadevariâ€â€whether they came from elsewhere or are children of the shadow itself, none can say. Eventually this primordial essence coalesced into twin beautiful goddesses who were yin and yang to each other; they were so close they thought of themselves as one being. The Two-Faced Goddess created the heavenly bodies of the crystal sphere and together infused them with life to form the Earthmother, Chauntea. (Although Chauntea has since contracted her essence to encompass only Abeir-Toril, in the beginning she embodied all matter in Realmspace.) This new universe was lit by the face of the silver-haired goddess, who called herself Selûne, and darkened by the welcoming tresses of the raven-haired goddess, Shar, but no heat or fire existed within it. Chauntea begged for warmth so that she could nurture life and living creatures upon the planets that were her body and limbs, and the two sisters-Who-Were-One became divided, as for the first time they were of two minds. Silvery Selûne contested with her dark sister over whether or not to bring further life to the worlds. During this great conflagration, the gods of war, disease, murder, and death, among others, were created from residues of the deific battle. At one point during the battle, Selûne seized the advantage and reached across time and space to a land of eternal fire. Fighting the pain of the blaze, which burned her sorely, she broke off a fragment of that ever-living flame and ignited one of the heavenly bodies so that it burned in the sky and warmed Chauntea. Incensed, Shar redoubled her attack on her injured twin and began to snuff out all light and heat throughout the crystal sphere. Again Selûne gave of herself and tore the divine essence of magic from her body, flinging it desperately at her sister in defense of life in the sphere. This essence entered Shar, ripped an equal portion of energy from her, and reformed behind her as the goddess of magic, known now as Mystra, but then as Mystryl. Though Mystryl was composed of both light and dark magic, she favored her first mother Selûne initially, allowing the silver goddess to win an uneasy truce with her more powerful, dark twin. Consumed by bitterness at her defeat, Shar vowed eternal revenge. The twin goddesses contested for eons as life struggled into existence on Toril and the other planets under Chauntea's watchful gaze. Shar remained powerful, but bitterly alone, while Selûne waxed and waned in power, often drawing strength from her allied daughters and sons and like-minded immigrant deities. Over time, Shar grew strong again, aided by the shadevari who preferred night to blinding light and who stalked the realms seeking to meld light and dark into shadowy chaos once again. Shar's plot to reform the world after her own desires was undone when Azuth, the High One, formerly the greatest of all mortal spellcasters and now consort to Mystra (incarnate successor to Mystryl), found a way to imprison the shadevari in a pocket-sized crystal sphere located beyond the edges of the world by creating the illusion of a realm of shadows. The Lords of Shadow were drawn to investigate, and before they discovered the trick, Azuth imprisoned the shadevari with the Shadowstar, a key of shadows forged by Gond. The High Lord then hurled the key into the endless reaches of the cosmos allowing life to flourish on in Chauntea's loving hands. |
| 13182 History of the Unicorn Run: Bards and sages pass down the tale that the headwaters of the Unicorn Run are, in truth, the Font of Life and a cradle of fecundity. Each natural race is said to have emerged from the womb of Chauntea onto Toril at the river's source and then traveled down the Unicorn Run to the outside world. Some say that a daughter of Chauntea resides at the river's source to usher the newborns into the world, while others claim that Shialla midwifes the process. Regardless of the truth, the elves, korreds, and halflings all agree that the Unicorn Run is sacred to life and a site of incredible purity. As a result, all three races have strong taboos about extended trips up the run, for if the river is ever fouled, then no new races will ever be born on Toril again. |
| 13183 History of the Valley of the Gods: It is said that even the powers must cavort and amuse themselves once in a great while. Far to the north of the Spine of the World is the Valley of the Gods. A paradise unequaled on this world or in the planes, this playground of the gods is not meant for mortals. Any mortal who reaches the Valley becomes a deity, for only deities may exist in the Valley. Far too many mortals with delusions of grandeur have thrown away the pleasures of this side of the Spine and their kingdoms in this world, only to break their backs searching for the legendary Valley of the Gods. |
| 13184 History of the Vast: Two millennia ago the Vast was Vastar, the orcish lands. These were the breeding grounds of the goblin hordes that would spill eastward and cross the Dragon Reach in ramshackle boats to raid the elves. The orcs were overthrown by invading dwarves, who established the Realm of the Glimmering Swords. It was during this time that the first humans came to the Vast, including the mage Maskyr. The rule of the dwarves occurred against a backdrop of constant war with the orcs, such that there were perhaps only 40 years of true peace for the Realm of the Glimmering Swords. The dwarves were overrun by the orcs, and they escaped extinction only through the aid of human and elven allies. The remaining dwarves left the region to the newly arriving humans and retreated to the east, to the south, and to isolated and hidden communities within the Vast. The most successful of the humans were the adventurers whose hunger was sated by gold and whose thirst was slaked by great deeds. This was the Time of the Glorious Fools, and there are those who will argue that it is still that age, as adventurers still rule the cities of Calaunt and Ravens Bluff. The orcs today are contained, if not conquered, and trade has grown up in the lands of the Vast. However, for many individuals with adventuring blood, it is still a wilderness in which one may prove one's worth. |
| 13185 History of the Western Heartlands: The history of the Western Heartlands is a history of endless battles and destroyed empires. In ancient times, these were the lands of the Fallen Kingdom of Illefarn, the Lost Kingdom of Man, and rumored Netheril. In more recent history, the land has been fertilized with blood and bone as forces from the Empires of the Sands surged northward, the evil peoples within Dragonspear and the Goblin Marches spilled forth, and mercenary companies moved to and fro in the service of one petty warlord after another. Recent battles leveled the Way Inn and threatened Daggerford. Even the Time of Troubles did not leave this desolate land unmarkedâ€â€Bhaal himself perished at Boareskyr Bridge, and the waters it passes over have remained poisoned to this day. The cities of the Western Heartlands are strong, independent, and varied. They are also strongly motivated by trade and listen harder to the ringing of gold than the call of battle. But something else prospers in the open landâ€â€freedom and opportunity. No nation lays claim on the Western Heartlands to land beyond that which their armies can control, and no warlord can make demands beyond the swing of his axe. Small holds and castles regularly spring up, only to be knocked down by invading forces or abandoned after a generation or two. Lost dungeons and secret citadels lie scattered throughout the land, and this rugged frontier presents more than enough opportunities for adventurers. |
| 13186 History of the Zhentarim, Two Zhents' Worth: Much confusion exists in the realms regarding Zhentil Keep and the (not-so) secret society known as the Black Network or Zhentarim. The two are closely tied, such that a speaker may refer to one when meaning the other and still be clearly understood. In general, both mean trouble. Zhentil Keep is a walled, independent city on the western shores of the Moonsea. It is one of the most evil cities in the realms, a blight on the North, and a haven for Evil groups, plotting manipulators, dark religions, and foul practices. Its rulers seek to dominate the lands around it, including the Dragonspine Mountains, Yulash, Voonlar, and the neighboring Dales. The city of Zhentil Keep and its armies (known as the Zhentilar, to make matters more confusing) have destroyed Teshendale, come close to destroying Daggerdale, and for a long time had an agent ruling Shadowdale. The Zhentarim is an organization of evil priests, wizards, and inhuman creatures bent on controlling all the trade and power between the Sword Coast (meaning Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep) and the Moonsea (including the intervening lands of Cormyr and Anauroch). Its aims in the Moonsea area are the same as Zhentil Keep's, and the two factions work hand-in-glove, often sharing the same membership. The Zhentarim have a more far-reaching effect than Zhentil Keep, though, and have agents throughout the North. In addition, the Zhentarim are not limited to Zhentil Keep itself, and maintain a number of fortified outposts. Their rulership has spread with the passing years. In addition to being the dominant force in Zhentil Keep, the Zhentarim control the Citadel of the Raven and Darkhold, two important castle complexes. Over the years, more power has been moving away from Zhentil Keep (filled with a lot of unknown and untrustworthy flunkies) and into these more secure areas. Within the Dalelands area, Zhentarim smells of Zhentil Keep and vice versa, but in reality not every Keeper (yet another name for a native of Zhentil Keep) is of the Black Network, and not every agent of the Zhentarim is from Zhentil Keep. Adventurers should watch who they trust as a result. |
| 13187 History of Ulgarth: Ulgarth was settled by the great empire of Raurin, in the height of its power. When the empire was destroyed, it endured centuries of barbarism. Warchiefs united the country several times during this period. They fought many skirmishes with other barbarians, particularly those in Durpar and Var the Golden. In 202 DR, the barbarian tribes were nearly wiped out by the forces of Mulhorand. In 348 DR, a group of outlaws, fleeing the justice of the priest-kings of Mulhorand, came to Ulgarth. There they found a fertile, almost unoccupied land. They settled down, and began raising children and crops. This new society in Ulgarth gradually grew in power, while its neighbors grew apace. But while Durpar grew as a result of its commerce and its philosophy of balance, Ulgarth concentrated on agrarian pursuits. The Ulgarthians developed a highly structured caste system of lords and peasants. In 1002 DR, the centuries' long skirmishes between Durpar and Ulgarth came to an end, as the two countries finally reached a balance of power. There were too many centuries of warfare between the countries for them to completely trust each other. With their mutual border well defended on both sides, both countries have given up on the idea of conquering the other. Trade between the Ulgarth and the Shining Lands has become a vital factor to both nations. Ulgarth produces many of the items that Durparians trade throughout the world. In return, Durpar trades many exotic items to Ulgarth. Of course, the Durparian merchants usually get the better of any trade. The current king, Drasna the Fortunate, has continued his predecessor's policy of non-aggression with the Durparians. |
| 13188 History of Waterdeep: Waterdeep was used as a trading site for trade activities between northern tribesmen and southern merchants more than two millennia ago. By 1,000 years ago, permanent farms had sprung up in the area. The first mention of a Waterdeep (not as a city, but as a collection of warlords) occurs only 400 years ago. The city was truly established as a going concern by 1032 DR, the year Ahghairon became the first Lord of Waterdeep, and the date from which Northreckoning is counted. The city grew spectacularly, such that by 1248 DR both the City of the Dead and the guilds had been developed. The guildmasters seized control soon afterwards, ushering in a period of unrest and bitter conflict known as the Guildwars. The Guildwars ended only when the two surviving guildmasters brought in their own period of misrule. It was only in 1273 DR that the present system of government (or lack thereof) was instituted. This was the year that the Magisters were established and the secret Lords of Waterdeep were firmly reestablished. Since that time, the city has continued to grow and prosper. Humankind and other races come from all over the realms to earn hard coin in the City of Splendors. Over the years these successful merchants have set up guilds and themselves become nobility, supporting the secretive Lords of Waterdeep who police the city fairly, yet with a light hand, by means of the superb city guard (soldiers), city watch (police), and over 20 black-robed magistrates. As a result, Waterdeep is a place tolerant of different races, religions, and lifestyles. This in turn has encouraged commerce, and Waterdeep has grown into a huge, eclectic city. |
| 13189 History of Waterdeepâ€â€Age 0, Tuabemoots and Pioneers: Few now know the true history of this great city, which had its beginnings over a thousand years ago, when the North was truly what Southerners still sneeringly call it: "the Savage North." In those days, most of the North was covered with vast, tall forests of ancient green, and inhabited by dwarves and goblinkind (in the most northern mountains and foothills) and elves (in widely scattered forest enclaves everywhere else). A few primitive human tribes lived along the Sword Coast, fishing, hunting and gathering in spring and fall to trade their furs with vessels sailing in from the south for merchant's jewelry, metal tools, and the occasionally-available weapon or two. In the spring, these vessels came primarily to cut and take huge trees for shipbuilding, trees being no longer available in such large sizes farther south. In the fall, the vessels came in to cut timber for their own repairs, or to take on a cargo of wood if the misfortunes of trading had left their holds low or empty. Most of these trademoots were at a certain place where there was a great natural deepwater harbor, protected from the sea by a rocky spur of land, an arm of an isolated coastal crag, or a rocky island beyond it. |
| 13190 History of Waterdeepâ€â€Age I, The Rise of the Warlords: Over the years, the forest was cut back farther and farther from the shore, and tribes began to stay most of the year there, farming the cleared land. The wiser among them claimed and controlled some of the timber in order to trade for more weaponry and tools. Such claims angered many who found the squatters rich from frequent trade, and brought attacks from land and sea, the more warlike tribes slaughtering the more sedentary settlers. Noted among these tribes was that led by Nimoar, a chieftain who ordered his people to seize the farms, crude wooden docks, trading sheds, and storage barns built up around the bay. They settled there themselves, and erected a log palisade within an earthen embankment to protect the holdings. After several abortive pirate and tribal raids, Nimoar's people thrived in their new home, a fledgling town referred to as "the town of Water-deep." Farther north, orc tribes had outgrown their mountain strongholds. Attempts to expand underground met with fierce dwarven resistance (although many small gnomish colonies were overwhelmed and wiped out), and the orcs spread out on the surface of the land, coming south and down out of the mountains, hurling their seemingly endless numbers against all who stood in their path. Here and there elven enclaves held out, but the push southward displaced many other northern inhabitants, including the "everlasting ones" (trolls), who came down into the newly-cleared lands northeast of Nimoar's Hold, those lands now known as the Trollmoors. Nimoar died of old age during this time of increasing danger. Younger War Lords led the men of Waterdeep (for so the ship-captains called the harbor) in battles against the trolls. There were many bloody struggles between men and trolls for a decade, until the magic of a Northem youth named Ahghairon turned the fortunes of war against the trolls, and the "everlasting ones" were destroyed or scattered. Ahghairon rose slowly in skill and power with the passage of years, until he became a great mage. He discovered a supply of potions of longevity (or learned the art of making such), for he lived on, still physically a man in his prime, for decade upon decade. Fearing further attacks, the men of Waterdeep raised a small keep on the slopes of Mount Waterdeep above their farms, where fire arrows from on high could defend against attacking trolls. Many outlying tribes who had come to the settlement for safety from the trolls stayed, and expanded the walls with new farms several times. War Lords ruled the Free City of Waterdeep, holding it independent and increasingly wealthy as years passed. |
| 13191 History of Waterdeepâ€â€Age III, The Bloody Reign of the Guildmasters: There was great turmoil in the City as the Guildmasters argued amongst themselves as to who should govern the City, and more than one merchant of power was found murdered. Groups of liveried bodyguards appeared openly armed on the streets, accompanying their masters, and two very troubled months passed as they bickered and parleyed (and occasionally dueled in the streets). At last, they decided that all Masters should rule Waterdeep together, in a council. The lesser nobles and many townsfolk protested, saying that the Lords ruled by right and by the people's consent. The Guildmasters, however, said that the Lords had not been seen since Ahghairon's death, and that they must have been golems or zombies, controlled by Ahghairon to conceal his lone ruleâ€â€and indeed, the Lords were silent and unseen, and continued to be so. In truth, the Lords were real men and women whose identities had been compromised, over the years, by certain curious Guildmasters who had ordered them slain by their own closemouthed, loyal servants following Ahghairon's death. The only Lords still surviving (those who had remained secret) were Baeron, a woodworker, and Shilam, an apprentice wizard. These surviving Lords kept very quiet, and waited. The Guildmasters thought all the living Lords of the City had been eliminated, and took firm rule over Waterdeep. The Guildmasters ruled Waterdeep for only six years ere their self-interested squabbling led to bloodshed. Open quarrels and a few murders quickly erupted into a brief but vicious series of street fights and midnight attacks. This strife, oftimes termed "the Guildwars" by sages (although it was never as long-drawn-out or so formal as to be called a "war" when it was taking place), left all but two Guildmasters dead, most of the City's best minds stilled, and much of the City's gold wasted or plundered with the Guilds in disarray. The surviving Guildmasters were Lhorar Gildeggh of the Shipwrights and Ehlemm Zoar of the Gemcutters. These twoâ€â€ruthless manipulators bothâ€â€were well-matched and could not overcome each other, though their private armies clashed often in the streets. At length, they sickened of bloodshed, after many from both families were dead in the gutters, and agreed to rule together. Two thrones were set up in Castle Waterdeep, and from then the two argued bitterly over this and that, and the City was a place of tension and fear. All matters, including the recognition of new Guildmasters to rule the "headless" guilds, had to come before the Two Lords Magister, as Lhorar and Ehlemm were called. Few matters were settled. |
| 13192 History of Waterdeepâ€â€Age II, The Lords' Rule Begins: In his 112th winter, Ahghairon had a sharp disagreement with Raurlor, who was then Warlord of Waterdeep. Raurlor wanted to use Waterdeep's acquired wealth and strength-of-arms to create a Northern empire, with Waterdeep its capital (and Raurlor its ruler), and gathered armies for the purpose. Ahghairon defied him before all the people, and Raurlor ordered the mage to be chained. Ahghairon magically struck aside all who sought to lay hands on him. In a fury Raurlor struck at the mage with his own blade. Ahghairon rose into the air, just out of reach, and, as the infuriated Warlord slashed repeatedly at his rising feet, gestured. Raurlor's blade transmuted in his hand, from steel into a hissing serpent, which promptly bit him. The Warlord died of the venom before the shocked people assembled there. Ahghairon then gathered all the captains of Waterdeep's army, and all the seniors of the families of Waterdeep. While runners sought to bring them to the Castle, flames roared and crackled in the Warlord's empty chair-of-state at Ahghairon's bidding, so that no one sat there. Then at a gesture from the mage, the flames were gone as though they had never been, leaving the chair unmarked. Ahghairon seated himself, then, and proclaimed himself the first Lord of Waterdeep, saying that henceforth wisdom and not armed might would rule in the city. He would gather some fewâ€â€in secretâ€â€to rule as Lords with him, masked and disguised when they appeared to the people, but equal to him in authority and free of coercion by any, himself included. These Lords were to be drawn from all walks of life in the city, and could serve as long as they wished. The people heard, and agreed, and for the next two hundred years, Ahghairon ruled Waterdeep with his unknown fellow Lords. Over the years, the masked Lords were a group of sometimes five, six, or seven, who appeared seldom and said little. Some whispered that they were Ahghairon's servants, or even magical automatons controlled by the Old Mage. Still, Ahghairon's justice was swift and fair, his laws good, his guardsmen polite and just as ready to help as apprehend, and the people approved. The years passed in peace and prosperity. The North was opened to humans. Roads built under Ahghairon's direction linked it together, from the ruins of "the Fallen Kingdom," which had been shattered by goblin races' attacks before men were numerous in the North, to the cities that would later become Amn. Waterdeep grew fivefold in size and wealth. From all over the realms, folk began to come to the "Crown of the North," drawn by moneyâ€â€and among them came those who rob, cheat, and steal. When word of doings extending beyond simple theft to deception-in-workmanship and the appearance of many fly-by-night impostor craftsmen reached Ahghairon's ears, he called together the senior merchants, "the Noble Ones," and suggested that they form guilds as was done in the far South to police the unscrupulous of their own professions. Some resisted, or were furious, but most saw the advantages of such an arrangement, particularly if they were free to set matters up themselves, and not have less favorable arrangements forced upon them. The Guilds were created forthwith. Twice more the city walls were expanded, as Waterdeep continued to grow in size and prosperity. Its merchants traveled the world over, bringing back exotic goods from afar, and spreading word of the city's wealth to remote lands. In the South, some listened with an eye to conquest or at least plunder, but swords were already out in those southern lands in a time of widespread strife, and no invaders came. Ahghairon's health eventually failed and he died. He was buried with ceremony in his tower, which was secured against thieves and fools. Those who learned the arts arcane from the Old Mage cast the most potent protective magics known upon his home and resting-place (which, many believe, remains inviolate today). |
| 13193 History of Waterdeepâ€â€Age lV, The Return of the Lords: One day to the Courts of the Lord Magister came two people masked and robed as the Lords of Waterdeep of old. Where they came from no one knew, but they appeared in the Castle's Great Hall where the Courts were, and commanded the Lords Magister to leave the city forthwith. Laughing, the Lords Magister refused, whereupon the shorter of the masked intruders (the lady Shilam, apprentice to Ahghairon and his undeclared heir as first Lord of the City) blasted them with lightning and fire, and their very thrones were shattered and toppled. The taller of the two intruders (Baeron) then called for the heads of the noble houses to come to them, or leave the city forthwith and forever, if they cared not to come by nightfall. All in the Courts heard, and the news was cried in the streets. The surviving nobles came, reluctantly and with bodyguards, expecting such a summons to be a trap. Baeron spoke to them and the crowd of curious townsfolk that had also come, saying, "this must not happen again." If Waterdeep was to be safe once more, he told them, all must support what he and his fellow Lord now planned, as they had supported Ahghairon in the past. The two would choose others to be Lords as before, he said, and they would rule in secret, as beforeâ€â€save for himself. He removed his mask, and said, "I am Baeron. I would be Lord as Ahghairon was before. I would be safe in this my city again." And the folk of Waterdeep there agreed. Shilarn, still masked, commanded that the houses of the Two Lords Magister be Outcast. There was protest, and she raised her hands that had blasted the thrones, and it was still again. And the house of Gildeggh and of Zoar were outcast. Peace returned to the city, and Waterdhavians to their labors. To inhibit discovery of who the Lords were, Baeron selected certain men of character whom he knew well, and appointed them Magisters ("Black Robes," they were soon called, from their robes of office) under the Lords, to judge and apply the laws of Waterdeep in daily affairs. These Magisters he paid well, to raise them from temptation, and gave lodgings to those who feared for safety to dwell among the people. To so serve, he told the city, was a burden, not a proud misuse of authority, and if any wished to no longer serve, or were found wanting, they were not to be vilified, but accorded respect. And over the Magisters the Lords sat in their Court, to correct and overrule the judgments of the Magisters. Baeron told the people that none were to decry or belittle any judgments of Magisters that the Lord saw fit to alter or cast aside. If any thought ill of the offices or those who held them they could turn back to the rule of sword and whim, and perish as had those before them. Before the Lord's Court Baeron encouraged people to speak freely for the length of a short candle's burning, without fear of chastisement or reproach from the Lords for anything said, as long as they spoke openly and answered questions or opposing views put to them by any there. Thus, he held, just grievances of folk would be heard, no matter how small the matter or lowly the speaker. And so it was. Slow to take hold, until people knew it for careful justice, but enduring beyond Baeron's time, and beyond Shilarn's time, and beyond the time of their daughter Lhestyn "The Masked Lady," who wed Zelphar Arunsun of Neverwinter, and was mother to Khelben "Blackstaff' Arunsun, a Lord of Waterdeep today, who knows the secrets of long years as Ahghairon did. And as the years have passed, Waterdeep has grown in size and variety, flourishing with good trade under the tolerance and protection of strong defenders and good government. The years passed not without troubles, varying from the Godswar (when Waterdeep played host to gods dying and ascending) to such occurrences as a green dragon assailing the Field of Triumph (part of a plot by the Knights of the Shield to overthrow the Lords' Rule), but the city and her peoples survived and prevailed against all strife. The Lords' Alliance provides continued safety for all the settlements of the northern Sword Coast and those inland, with Waterdeep as the heart of the alliance. Though it can be matched in size or commerce, there is no city the realms over that compares to the sheer variety of life and experiences found in fair Waterdeep, Crown of the North. |

| 13318 You're not welcome here! |
| 13319 You're not welcome here! |
| 13320 You're not welcome here! |
| 13321 You'll stand for your crimes, or die here! |
| 13322 You're not welcome here! |
| 13323 You've made no friends here! Move along! |
| 13324 Things haven't been very busy of late, with all the troubles in the south. I've heard, though, that the mines at Nashkel have been reopened. Some heroic folk dealt with whatever was plaguing the mine. |
| 13325 Get away from me! |
| 13326 I'll not speak a word after what you did! I'll get that fool artifact and sell it on my own. |
| 13327 Step up and play, ladies and gents! It's an honest house, and everyone has a chance at striking it rich! Anyone that says otherwise is advised to have a chat with the bartender's axe! |
| 13328 I apologize, young one; I would love to stay and chat, but I have many things on my duty roster this day. |
| 13329 Leave me alone! You're mean! |
| 13330 Leave me alone! You're mean! |
| 13331 Leave me alone! You're mean! |
| 13332 Leave me alone! You're mean! |
| 13333 You wait too long. Now we kill you anyway! |
| 13334 I'll take your head for what you've done! |
| 13335 You're not welcome here! |
| 13336 You're not welcome here! |
| 13337 I trust you have found the populous of our little village to be amiable? We do so like to welcome strangers. |
| 13338 I would just as soon forget that I have ever met you! This way I can meet you again as though for the first time. It will save me having to dislike you. |
| 13339 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. You have not proven to be trustworthy. |
| 13340 You shoulda ran when we gave you chance. Now we take yer money. |
| 13341 Good to see you again. I am pleased you are more or less still alive. Often we see an adventurer twice, but he is decidedly less talkative the second time around. Dying will do that to you. A hazard of the lifestyle, I guess. |
| 13342 You are still alive! Err... no offense meant. It's just that more often than not we never see an adventurer twice, unless he be boxed and burial bound. It's no comment on your abilities, but I never expected to make your acquaintance again. I wish you luck on your further travels. |
| 13343 You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13344 Welcome again. I would have thought you had moved on by now. It's a pleasure you have not, though. |
| 13345 I am surprised to see you again. Has not the wanderer's call seized your logic once again? By Dallillia, I hope none of the children follow when you go. |
| 13346 You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13347 Hello again. A pleasure as it was before. |
| 13348 I see you have returned. I trust you will stay no longer than last we met? |
| 13349 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13350 Again we meet. I do so enjoy our little chats. |
| 13351 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13352 Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13353 Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13354 Sorry, no food fer ya right now. |
| 13355 Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13356 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13357 Pah! Gambling fools. Learn to heft a sword and you'll never go hungry. Especially in the Gate, where the alleys are always full of prey. |
| 13358 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13359 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13360 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13361 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13362 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13363 Please do not bother me. I am mourning the loss of my husband. |
| 13364 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13365 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13366 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13367 I'll box your ears if you step an inch closer! |
| 13368 I'll box your ears if you step an inch closer! |
| 13369 Leave me alone! |
| 13370 You're not welcome here! |
| 13371 You're not welcome here! |
| 13372 You're not welcome here! |
| 13373 You're not welcome here! |
| 13374 You're not welcome here! |

| 13377 You're not welcome here! |
| 13378 You're not welcome here! |
| 13379 You're not welcome here! |
| 13380 You're not welcome here! |
| 13381 You're not welcome here! |
| 13382 You'll stand for your crimes, or die here! |

| 13392 Leave me alone! You're mean! |

| 13399 I would just as soon forget that I have ever met you! This way I can meet you again as though for the first time. It will save me having to dislike you. |
| 13400 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. You have not proven to be trustworthy. |

| 13407 You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13408 Hello again. A pleasure as it was before. |
| 13409 I see you have returned. I trust you will stay no longer than last we met? |
| 13410 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13411 Again we meet. I do so enjoy our little chats. |
| 13412 Once again I find you in mine home. If you retain your manners, you are welcome. |
| 13413 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13414 Hi again! Better be quiet, 'cause Nanna doesn't want you makin' me leave. |
| 13415 You go away! I'll show you an' everybody soon enough! |
| 13416 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13417 It is good to see you still alive, though I'll thank you to keep your stay in my home brief. |
| 13418 You are a continuing ill wind in my home. I do not wish to make you unwelcome... but you are. |
| 13419 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13420 Back again? I am surprised you have not gone on to grand new places instead of returning to this humble home. You are welcome while you stay, but I know it won't be long before you move on. |
| 13421 Ahh, I see you have gone another day without a knife in your gullet. Perhaps you have learned to control your wayward wit... Or perhaps not, and you are just quick-footed. Luck be yours on your travels, young one. |
| 13422 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13423 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13424 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13425 Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13426 Sorry, but I have a job to do. I just don't have the time to chat right now. |
| 13427 Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13428 Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13429 Lost your chance with me, you did! Get lost! |
| 13430 I'm really busy now, so I'm gonna have to ask ya ta come back some time later. |
| 13431 You guys shouldn't be hanging 'round here. Ya might bring attention to Duke Eltan. |
| 13432 You've made no friends here! Get off my docks! |
| 13433 Leave me to my misery! |
| 13434 Leave me be! |
| 13435 You're not welcome here! Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13436 Get outta my face. |
| 13437 You're not welcome here! Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13438 You're not welcome here! Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13439 You're not welcome here! Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13440 You're not welcome here! Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13441 You're not welcome here! Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13442 You're not welcome here! Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13443 Sorry, but I have to be gittin' back to my wife and children. |
| 13444 Get away from me! I wouldn't trust you as far as I can spit! |
| 13445 As good to see ye again as any other I could have laid eyes on. Make yourself as comfortable as you will. |
| 13446 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13447 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13448 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13449 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13450 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13451 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13452 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13453 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13454 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13455 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13456 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13457 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13458 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13459 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13460 You're not welcome here! You'll pay with your life! |
| 13461 You're not welcome here! Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13462 Do you mind? I'm a very busy man, and I don't need these constant interruptions. |
| 13463 You've made no friends here! Move along! |
| 13464 Get away from me! I wouldn't trust you as far as I can spit! |
| 13465 I must ask you not to disturb me, as I have many financial matters that now occupy my attention. |
| 13466 I should make my stay brief, if I were you. |
| 13467 You're barely better than my captors! Leave me! |
| 13468 Get outta my store! You're not wanted here. |
| 13469 Get away from me! I wouldn't trust you as far as I can spit! |
| 13470 I do not wish to seem inhospitable, but I choose not to share your company. Leave me to my business. |
| 13471 Hello again. I trust you are finding my tavern to your liking? I do endeavor to sculpt it to the needs of all who frequent it. |
| 13472 I find you distasteful. Leave me! |
| 13473 Just leave me be. |
| 13474 I trust everything is satisfactory? Please don't hesitate to leave if it is not. |
| 13475 Hello again. A pleasure having you here, to be sure. |
| 13476 You've made no friends here! Move along! |
| 13477 You've made no friends here! Move along! |
| 13478 I wouldn't trust you as far as I can spit! |
| 13479 Hey, clear out. I don't need you meatheads roaming through my kitchen! *sigh* I wanna work somewhere where beer and blood aren't seasonings. |
| 13480 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13481 Out! And never darken my door again! |
| 13482 It's you again. By the claws of Umberlee, I can't take these interruptions much longer. Get out of my kitchen, and stay out. |
| 13483 Out! And never darken my door again! |
| 13484 My doors are no longer open to the likes of you! |
| 13485 My doors are no longer open to the likes of you! |
| 13486 Hope yer havin' a great evening. I sure am. |
| 13487 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13488 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13489 I'll box your ears if you step an inch closer! |
| 13490 Put a cork in that blasted bard before I done plug his hole with my boot! |
| 13491 I'll box your ears if you step an inch closer! |
| 13492 Don't go pokin' folk about the table, young 'un. You're liable to catch a nasty backhand. |
| 13493 Leave me! You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13494 Leave me! You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13495 Leave me! You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13496 Leave me! You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13497 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13498 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13499 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13500 Get away from me! I wouldn't trust you as far as I can spit! |
| 13501 Back again? Please leave me alone. |
| 13502 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13503 I'll have your skull for what you've done! |
| 13504 I wouldn't trust you as far as I can spit! |
| 13505 I wouldn't trust you as far as I can spit! |
| 13506 I wouldn't trust you as far as I can spit! |
| 13507 Nothing to see here, <SIRMAAM>! |
| 13508 You're not welcome here! |
| 13509 Please don't bother me, I have a lot on my mind. |
| 13510 Lost your chance with me, you did! Get lost! |
| 13511 We thank you for stopping the evil witch before she killed us. Here, take this as a token of our appreciation. |
| 13512 Lost your chance with me, you did! Get lost! |
| 13513 Get away from me! I feel no safer with you than my captors! |
| 13514 Get away from me! I feel no safer with you than my captors! |
| 13515 Get away from me! I feel no safer with you than my captors! |
| 13516 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13517 Get away from me! |
| 13518 Get away from me! |
| 13519 You've made no friends here! Move along! |
| 13520 I'll have your skulls for coming here! You'll ruin everything! |
| 13521 You've outstayed your welcome! Out with you! |
| 13522 Ye're boring. Don't talk to me no more. |
| 13523 You're still here? Fun's fun, but you should go quickly now. |
| 13524 That party STILL going on? It's a wonder they haven't all fallen asleep where they stand. |
| 13525 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13526 You are little better than the animals I hunt! Get away from me! |
| 13527 You visit again? It is not unwelcome, even though Carl and Jurgen may make it seem so. Do not overstay your welcome though, as I am unaccustomed to long visits. |
| 13528 You are definitely one of the more persistent pests I have had to my home. Again, I must ask you to leave lest you be "escorted" out. |
| 13529 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13530 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13531 Certainly you could have put more effort into your appearance before coming here. This is the event of the year, and you look as though you wrestled the guard to get in. Shameful. |
| 13532 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13533 This is a somber occasion. Kindly refrain from acting the boor. |
| 13534 Away with you! |
| 13535 Ooo, you look to be an entire theme party all to yourselves. I'll have to come back when I can afford you all. |
| 13536 Approach me not! I'll ruffle you up, I will! |
| 13537 Approach me not! I'll ruffle you up, I will! |
| 13538 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13539 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13540 I think you should be going before you end up scaring the missus. |
| 13541 You have returned?! Why do you not just attack the guard if you are in such a hurry to cause trouble? Leave at once lest I call out the alarm. |
| 13542 Um, I find it odd for you to have mistaken my room for yours yet again. Kindly leave. |
| 13543 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13544 You once again? I should appreciate it if you would remove your company until I sought it. Good day. |
| 13545 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13546 I have told you previously to leave me alone. Do as I ask lest we both regret the consequences. |
| 13547 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13548 Again you disturb me? You are determined to make trouble for yourself, aren't you? Fortunately for you, I am determined to ignore you. |
| 13549 Approach me not! I'll ruffle you up, I will! |
| 13550 I'll not have you near me! |
| 13551 I'll not have you near me! |
| 13552 I'd much prefer it if you would leave me be! |
| 13553 I had thought this function was invitation only. Who let rabble such as you in? |
| 13554 I'll not have you near me! |
| 13555 Something... something is amiss with that large man. Perhaps I have just caught a touch of a fever, but there is something... |
| 13556 I'll not have you near me! |
| 13557 I'll not have you near me! |
| 13558 I'll not have you near me! I should know better than to slum with the likes of you! |
| 13559 Hello again. |
| 13560 I'll not have you near me! |
| 13561 I'll not have you near me! |
| 13562 You're not welcome here! Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13563 What you've done is wrong! You'll pay! |
| 13564 I've no clue why we hired such as you! Get out of my sight! |
| 13565 What you've done is wrong! You'll pay! |
| 13566 What you've done is wrong! You'll pay! |
| 13567 I apologize, but I have many matters at hand. |
| 13568 My doors are no longer open to the likes of you! |
| 13569 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13570 I must apologize if I seem rude, but I must ask for privacy. I must finish these changes to my epic poem. |
| 13571 My words are likely lost on such thick skulls as yours. Leave me. |
| 13572 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13573 It would be wise for you to leave. Now. |
| 13574 It would be wise for you to leave. Now. |
| 13575 I am very busy with my patients; I'll have to ask that you give me some room. |
| 13576 It would be wise for you to leave. Now. |
| 13577 It would be wise for you to leave. Now. |
| 13578 It would be wise for you to leave. Now. |
| 13579 You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13580 You'll get nothing from me! |
| 13581 You'll get nothing from me! |
| 13582 Get near me again and I'll have your nethers on a platter! |
| 13583 I told ye I was busy! Now leave! |
| 13584 Get near me again and I'll have your nethers on a platter! |
| 13585 Bugger off, I don't want yer uppity self 'round here. |
| 13586 Get near me again and I'll have your nethers on a platter! |
| 13587 Gold |
| 13588 Don't ye go messin' wit these other hedge dollies. They don't know the business like I do. |
| 13589 Get near me again and I'll have your nethers on a platter! |
| 13590 Why do I get the feeling that where you're from, "bumping uglies" meant a headbutting contest? Out of my way, I've a moneygrubbing manager to pay off. |
| 13591 Get near me again and I'll have your nethers on a platter! |
| 13592 Bumbling simpeltons, get out of my way! |
| 13593 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13594 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13595 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13596 You'll pay for what you've done! |
| 13597 Eh, wot? Sorry, but I rather little time for noshing words just now. I'm off to better climes. |
| 13598 I rather think that you should avoid me. I've taken a rather strong dislike towards you, and I'm not called "Rededge" because of a gum disorder. |
| 13599 Lost your chance with me, you did! Get lost! I'll have you quartered and halved if you're not gone soon enough! |
| 13600 Get away from me or you'll be dead by morn! |
| 13601 Get away from me or you'll be dead by morn! |
| 13602 Greetings. I am Seniyad. I warn you now, these are my protected lands. If you disturb the balance, the repercussions will be severe. Consider yourself warned. |
| 13603 I'll not speak a word after what you did! |
| 13604 Excuse me, but I have many duties to perform. |
| 13605 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13606 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13607 Ye drop another careless hand near me and I swears you'll lose it! Order up at the bar. |

| 13621 Get away from me! |
| 13622 Get away from me! |
| 13623 Get away from me! |
| 13624 Get away from me! |
| 13625 Get away from me! |
| 13626 I trust you have learned some manners since we last met? If not, there is the door. |
| 13627 Welcome back. Hopefully we can be of assistance. |
| 13628 I wouldn't trust you as far as I can spit! |
| 13629 You've made no friends here! Move along! |
| 13630 Leave me be or you'll regret it! |
| 13631 I'll learn you some respect! You'll not leave here walking! |
| 13632 Cullin' petty snatcherbrats! Get well away from me footspace lest you get an eye full o' blade! |
| 13633 You've made no friends here! Move along! |
| 13634 I shall enjoy your demise! |
| 13635 Miscreant! I'll have your neck! |
| 13636 I smack you now! Get what you deserve! |
| 13637 I told you before. I don't want you here! Now git! |
| 13638 You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13639 I'm no more patient now that when you first burgled in here. Turn and leave lest you regret it for the rest of your very short life! |
| 13640 Lost your chance with me, you did! Get lost! |
| 13641 Get away from me! |
| 13642 Get away from me! |
| 13643 I wouldn't stick around if I were you. Mother can be quite the hellion when she's roused. |
| 13644 Get away from me! |
| 13645 You're not welcome here! |
| 13646 If you don't leave at once, I shall call for someone to "help" you. |
| 13647 You're not welcome here! |
| 13648 You're not welcome here! |
| 13649 You'll get nothing from me! |
| 13650 Leave me! |
| 13651 You've made no friends here! Move along! |
| 13652 Hello? Oh, 'tis you again. If you please, I am rather not in the mood for speaking right now. Leave me. |
| 13653 You again?! You tempt the very fates by daring to come in to MY house again! I'll not suffer your presence a second more than I have to! Begone! |
| 13654 Get out or be thrown out! |
| 13655 Lost your chance with me, you did! Get lost! |
| 13656 You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13657 You've outstayed your welcome! |
| 13658 What you've done is wrong! Leave! |
| 13659 Hello again. I trust you are enjoying Beregost in all its meager splendor? |
| 13660 You are unwelcome in my house. It's a phrase I am unused to saying, but nevertheless, it is true. Please leave. |
| 13661 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13662 Don't bother me; I'm busy packing. |
| 13663 Lost your chance with me, you did! Get lost! |
| 13664 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13665 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13666 I'll box your ears if you step an inch closer! |
| 13667 I'll box your ears if you step an inch closer! |
| 13668 I'll box your ears if you step an inch closer! |
| 13669 Get away from me! I've work to do! |
| 13670 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13671 And so I sesh to the guy, "But if that's you shister, where'sh my WIFE?" HAW! Oh sorry, did I just spit on you? Oh, it's my friend back again! Just trying to drink enough courage to head back on that dusty trail. Perhaps I shall stay a touch longer, though; the sky is clear, but my own head is cloudy. |
| 13672 Well, how's that for a surprise kick in the head? The sourpuss hast returned to the land of merrymakers. I trust you will be a little more amiable? |
| 13673 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13674 Not to be rude, but I'd rather you left immediately. |
| 13675 Get away from me surface scum! |
| 13676 Lost your chance with me, you did! Get lost! |
| 13677 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13678 I'll not have you near me after what you've done! |
| 13679 Sorry, young 'un, but I got a lot of farming to do. |
| 13680 Leave me be. I got nothin' for you. |
| 13681 I apologize if I seem abrupt, but I must be leaving, and quickly. |
| 13682 Haven't you bothered me enough?! |
| 13683 Get out of my sight! I'll do nothing for you! |
| 13684 Fancy meeting the bunch of you again. Well, I better git going, I have heads to bust up. |

| 13736 Die here, you will! |
| 13737 None stand in Krotan's way! |
| 13738 You will fall before me! |
| 13741 This way, good <SIRMAAM>! Over here! |
| 13742 I am a man of peace! Leave us be! |
| 13743 â€â€NOTEXT |
| 13745 Try to keep things as quiet as possible. |
| 13746 Forgive me, but I have meditations to attend to. |
| 13747 Ahead... many of them... must be stopped... |
| 13748 Take this... end it for... |
| 13751 Ahhh! I see HER in every mirror! I hear HER with every breath! I would tear off mine own skin to be rid of HER! I am not HER! Kill me again and again and I am not her! But I will be rid of YOU! |
| 13752 Aye, I 'eard a sorcerer that went wild in the town, blastin' away wi' magic fire and such. 'Tis a good thing th' cowled ones took 'im away 'fore he could harm any decent folk. |
| 13753 Within the murky depths of this machine, you can see the lifeless remains of a strange creature consisting of a central orb and numerous eyestalks. It has been dead for some time. |
| 13754 This strange device |
| 13755 'Tis a sad thing that Guardian Herolde has gone missin'. I heard tha' all they found was 'is helmet. It doesn't seem like a priest of Helm would just wander off, does it? |
| 13756 Don't be goin' into the slums now, I warn ye. If ye look like ye can rub more'n two coppers together, ye'll be jumped in no time! |
| 13757 Heathen outsiders. |
| 13759 I should expect no better from the likes of you! |
| 13760 What need ye from me? |
| 13761 Hopefully, this shall all be over soon. |
| 13762 Begone, and do what ye must. |
| 13763 I take no comfort from your presence. |
| 13766 Oh, Iz not gonna be no helps fer you. I just sits wit me pretties and watch 'em sparkles. |
| 13767 HELLLLLP! |
| 13769 I sad, but sparkle makes for happy. |
| 13770 I not like sad talk. I go sit wit' my pretties. |
| 13771 I once had shinies piled up to da sky! I don' remember where dey are though. |
| 13772 You find me friends, okay? |
| 13775 Can I be helpin' you? |
| 13776 Ahh! This is insane! |
| 13777 This is insane! We've no need to fight each other! |
| 13778 Fiend! He is but a child! Help! |
| 13779 I have little more to say. |
| 13780 You've heard my stories. Nothing has changed since we talked last. |
| 13781 Leave me! I would be alone! |
| 13784 'Ere there... pssssst. This way. |
| 13785 I've done had enough of this! |
| 13786 My blade will cut ye down to size! |
| 13787 Tis something most unnatural here and I want no part of it. |
| 13788 I told ya 'twas Eldoth that done the deeds. I knows nothing more, so leave me to go. |
| 13789 Getting' out alive I am. 'Tis nothing for me 'ere now. |
| 13790 Good on you if ye save the day. I care not, for I am gone! |
| 13793 'Ere there. Not all the guard resent your coming as Eldoth does. |
| 13794 The fight is lost! I must escape! |
| 13795 An enemy I can see! 'Tis about time! |
| 13796 I have said too much already. I must go. |
| 13797 I have spake my mind. The rest is your affair. |
| 13798 I can help ye no further lest I risk treason. |
| 13799 Good luck on your mission. Tyr guide thy blade. |
| 13802 By Ilmater, please, send him home. |
| 13803 'Tis too much! I can't bear it! |
| 13804 Filthy creatures! You will harm no more! |
| 13805 Me? I shall guide us well. |
| 13806 How can I help? |
| 13807 What must I do? |
| 13808 Just point the way. |
| 13809 Ilmater protect us. |
| 13810 Certainly. |
| 13811 As well as I can. |
| 13812 That bodyâ€â€it looks likeâ€â€noâ€â€NO! |
| 13813 My Montgomery. My sweet. |
| 13814 Well, 'tis... 'tis little I can do here. Onward... |
| 13815 You caused all this?! Then you will DIE! DIE AND ROT! |
| 13816 Destroyer of beauty! I swear that YOU... WILL... DIE! |
| 13819 No! How many more must die?! |
| 13820 May all Nine Hells have at thee. |
| 13821 Bah! The council has levied another tax on us poor folk! They'll ne'er sell me on th' need for it! |
| 13822 The rustle of leaves sends mine own heart to fluttering. Can there be anything more beautiful than wild nature? |
| 13823 Me cousin just traveled from Nashkel to see me new wife, and wot does happen, eh? He gets himself mugged in th' bloody slums, that's wot! Th' garrison should march in there an' burn the whole bloody mess down! |

| 13895 Oh, I would agree, though not quite as comely as the eyes of a loved one. |
| 13896 It is a pity it is not of more use. It might survive the plow more often if it were. |
| 13897 I prefer tailored nature, like a fine garden, or the productivity of a well-maintained farm. |
| 13898 Fie! Th' weather has been a mite foxy lately, aye? |
| 13899 All thi' sun has made things a bit peppery, hasn't it? |
| 13900 I tend to prefer the tailored nature of a fine garden, or the productivity of a well-maintained farm. |

| 13918 I can't wait to get t' the tavern. I 'aven't sluiced me gob in a few days. |
| 13919 Me sister was nearly run o'er by one of 'em bloody Argrims. Just 'cause they're one of th' Families, they don't rule th' world! |
| 13920 Keep out of th' slums, friend, or ye'll have yer coin foreclosed in a quick second! |
| 13921 Ye haven't gone to th' circus, have ye? I've 'eard some terrible things of it! |
| 13922 Magic is a terrible, frightenin' thing, it is. I certainly hope ye are no' into such a thing. |
| 13923 Hey, now, eh? Ye be lookin' new to Athkatla, aye? |
| 13924 I am, actually, yes. |
| 13925 No, I've been here for quite some time. |
| 13926 I've no time to talk with you. |
| 13927 Well, ye look t' be like a steel enough sort. Is 'ere aught that a fellow like me can help ye wi'? |
| 13928 Oh, so, aye? I did not recognize ye. A pearl to ye, then. |
| 13929 This tube is unpowered, and the creature within is dead. |
| 13930 Well, 'ere's no need t' be an ore grinder, is there? |
| 13931 Is there somewhere about that I can get some food and rest? |
| 13932 I need supplies. Weapons and armor especially. |
| 13933 I am interested in magical equipment, if you know of any. |
| 13934 Is there a healer about? |
| 13935 Nothing, thank you. |
| 13936 Well, ye could go t' the Copper Coronet. It's a ways off in th' slums, however, and I would ne'er be caught walking there. |
| 13937 I suppose ye could find some healin' at the temple of Ilmater here in Waukeen's Promenade, mayhap. |
| 13938 Lookin' for trouble, eh? Well, I'll not be th' one to argue with ye. Ye can try the Adventure Mart. It's here in Waukeen's Promenade. Check yer map. |
| 13939 I want the city. I feel as though any second I might snap a leg in some rodent's burrow. |
| 13940 Ack! I hope ye not be some sorcerer. The cowled ones take ye away if ye are. Still, ye can try the Adventure Mart here in Waukeen's Promenade. Check yer map. |
| 13941 A pearl to ye, then. |
| 13942 I 'eard they found someone usin' foul magic down here. Arrested 'im, they did. Good riddance. |
| 13943 I hears that another guild has started to compete wi' the Shadow Thieves. It looks good on 'em, if you asks me. |
| 13944 I saw the wizard blasting all those men in black leather! A frightening display of magic... The Cowled Wizards took the mage away once he collapsed, thank Lathander. |
| 13945 I witnessed the wizard going crazy myself! Fire and sorcery he used, terrorizing everyone! |
| 13946 I heard that Dawnmistress Petra went missing last week. The priests of Lathander have been asking about for her. |
| 13947 I was told by a friend that a Talassan priest disappeared two days ago. Can't say I'm particularly saddened by it. |
| 13948 I was told that yet another priest went missing. This time it was a priest of Talos. I thought that the Storm Lord's minions were behind the disappearances. I suppose I was wrong. |
| 13949 Crime has been awful lately. I was pickpocketed three times last week, and I didn't even realize it until I returned home! Bah! |
| 13950 My brother-in-law was mugged in the slums this morning. Crime appears to be up all over the city, in my opinion. |
| 13951 I saw one of 'em Cowled Wizards up and close-like. It gave me a good bloody scare, it did! I don't know why they allow those wizards t' be free when they arrest everyone else. |
| 13952 I was mugged just down th' street last week. Black and blue I was fer several days. Th' bleedin' garrison should do somethin' about it. |
| 13953 My sister was robbed blind, her house cleaned out while she slept. Mind you, her life has always been written in red ink. |

| 13983 I wish me wife would up an' get back from Trademeet. The hussy i' such a kobold, she never lets me spend so much as a copper without her permission. How's a workin' man supposed to live, aye? |
| 13984 I heard one o' th' Morninglord's priests was speakin' against Lehtinan's slatterns an' disappeared a few days later! |
| 13985 My cousin is a wizard, poor chap. He moved to Baldur's Gate so the cowled ones wouldn't bother him. |
| 13986 My wife and I could not even attend our church yesterday morn. It seems Brother Keelan has just up and vanished. How very strange that he would leave without telling anyone. |
| 13988 I've done complained an' complained about th' crime in this city gettin' out o' hand, but nobody listens to bloody ol' me, does they? |
| 13989 Good business, <SIRMAAM>. I don't recognize you. Are you new to the city? |
| 13990 Yes, I am. |
| 13991 No, I have been here for some time. |
| 13992 I have no time to speak with you. |
| 13993 Hmph. Well, you're a bronze sort, aren't you? |
| 13994 Really? I didn't recognize you. Good business to you, then. |
| 13995 Welcome to Athkatla, then, my <LADYLORD>. Is there anything I can help you with? |
| 13996 Is there somewhere about that I can get some food and rest? |
| 13997 I need supplies. Weapons and armor especially. |
| 13998 I am interested in magical equipment, if you know of any. |

| 14135 Is there a healer about? |
| 14136 Nothing, thank you. |
| 14137 Well, good business to you, then. |
| 14138 Hm. I suppose you could try the Copper Coronet. Someone like you might appreciate that sort of place, even if it is in the slums. |
| 14139 I would try the Adventure Mart, if I were you. It's in the promenade here... check your map. |
| 14140 You shouldn't show too much interest in magic here if you know what's good for you. The Adventure Mart might prove useful for you; try there. |
| 14141 You are in need of healing? Oh, my. There is a church of Ilmater here in the promenade on the north tiers. Look on your map and you'll find it. |
| 14142 Those Shadow Thieves seem t' be everywhere, don't they? |
| 14143 A friend of mine tells me another guild o' robbers is competin' now with the Shadow Thieves. They can't like that, aye? Must be why crime is so bad now, too. |

| 14160 My bratty kids keep on haranguing me to take 'em to the circus that's gone and come to town. I says no way! I heard that if ye goes in there, ye don't come back out! |
| 14161 One of me brats starts crying, see, and says he wants to go to the circus. I belt him good in th' head and calls him crazy for sure. |
| 14162 You should see all the fuss outside of that circus. Somethin' strange goin' on there, aye? Too bad, I hears it's mithral and everything. |
| 14163 I picked up a gold layin' right on th' bloody street yesterday. Haven't found the pearl like that in years. |
| 14164 They went an' arrested me poor cousin Gandel, but he didn't know any magics, I swear. |
| 14165 I hears that you can see some right awesome fights at Lehtinan's place. Never seen 'em myself, of course. |
| 14166 I heard there's always lots goin' on at the Copper Coronet. Plenty of strange people, too. If me wife weren't such a dragon, I'd be spendin' some time there, sure as gold. |
| 14167 My wife says that Lehtinan runs himself a house of grinders, but what does she know? |

| 14185 As you will, though a walk in the garden is never quite so missed as when winter comes. |
| 14186 That Adventure Mart place seems to be doin' brisk business these days. Now what kind of name is that for a store, aye? |
| 14187 Perhaps, though they are best reflecting sky or trees. Both would be ideal, but choices must be made on occasion. Ah, no regrets in the Great Mother's home. |
| 14188 I saw a circus once when I were a child. Liked it sure enough then. I wonders what the new one that's come is like? |
| 14189 I hears that someone was killed in that circus tent, and that's why nobody goes in. |
| 14190 Foolish thing if there really is a guild competin' with the Shadow Thieves. Don't they know the Shadow Thieves almost run the city? |
| 14191 The wands are locked onto the pedestals, and you would do well to search out the keys and take down the wands before walking through the hall. Again I say, farewell! |
| 14192 I wonder when the Shadow Thieves are gonna nip those fools who are runnin' against 'em. It'll happen, you watch. |
| 14193 Your words are very uncharacteristic for a fellow druid. Do you hold your service to nature in as high a regard as you should? |
| 14194 A section of unspoiled forest will feed far more creatures in the long term, after a farm is exhausted and the people are hungry. Balance keeps the land lush. |
| 14195 Nature's bounty might be appreciated more if it were accessible to the common person. |
| 14196 Bah, simply seeding the land with fish or manure will revitalize any farm. It is sustainable. |
| 14197 A farmer might disagree. Harvesting for more than one is a hard task in the wild. |
| 14198 Do not question my commitment to nature! I will not tolerate such a slight! |
| 14199 Nature's bounty might be appreciated more if it were accessible to the common person. |
| 14200 Help! Nasty mean and evil! |
| 14201 I hold nature to be my sole reason for existing, but I must consider all views. |
| 14202 If you truly believe as you say, perhaps you should reconsider your relationship with her. |
| 14203 I will not tolerate you questioning my dedication. My commitment is absolute. |
| 14204 I think in terms of between nature and civilization. I apologize if it colored my outlook. |
| 14205 I impart appreciation to others. They can learn from small gardens. Nature must not threaten. |
| 14206 You should be more concerned with your own thoughts than how others view you. Such pride will lead to arrogance in time. |
| 14207 Perhaps the problem is that the common person is not accessible to nature. It is her children that have left her. A return to the old ways would be best for all. |
| 14208 Perhaps, though compromise must have its limits. Deforming nature for the ease of the harvester is not beneficial to either. It dilutes what she is. |

| 14217 Really? Woooow. |
| 14218 Look, look! Tha' elven lady has all black skin! Did somebody set ye on fire, elf lady? |
| 14219 Gosh, you are awful pretty, elf lady. |
| 14220 But neither is it to be taken for granted as something that is there with no effort. A garden is lovely, but it taints the perception of the onlooker. |
| 14221 Thank you, child. Surely you have better things to be about, however, so begone. |
| 14222 Fire Seed |
| 14223 That man looks kinda funny. He smells funny, too. |
| 14224 Fire Seed |
| 14225 Created by the Fire Seeds spell. When thrown at opponents, they explode into small fireballs that do 2d8 points of damage to everyone within a 15-ft. radius. STATISTICS: Damage: 2d8 (Save vs. Spell for half) Weight: 0 |
| 14226 Young one, I could tell you many a tale that you would find much more humorous than I. Perhaps another time. |
| 14227 Eeek! The hairy lady's scaring me! |
| 14228 Might I have a word with you? Away from the ears of others. |
| 14229 One not as patient as I might see that you grow no taller either. |
| 14230 You are too far away to catch a glimpse of the tube's contents. |
| 14231 Ye sure are an ugly dwarf. Ye stink, too. Don' dwarves take their baths? |
| 14232 The creature within this tube seems to be alive, albeit barely. The cells that power the tube are lifeless. You'll need to find newer power cells to revive the creature. |
| 14233 You look like a wizard. I'm going to get the cowled ones and set them on you, I will! |
| 14234 I am a paladin of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, child. Keep your heart pure and strong, and you may grow to be worthy of the same honor. |
| 14235 You're a gnome, aren't you? My momma says that gnomes are good for nothing other than decorating the grounds. |
| 14236 Actually, young one, I have an Uncle Witherjar who decorates grounds professionally. He has become known all across his hometown as the Garden Gnome, and I understand he makes quite the fair living at it. I don't know if I would like to work all those hours during the day, as Uncle Witherjar does, so I think I would have to turn down your mother's suggestion. I could always refer her to my uncle, I suppose, although it is such a far way. He wants to spread his work amongst all the gnomes, but I don't think he's made much headway yet. If your mother would rather decorate her kitchen, I suppose I could give it a whirl even if I haven't got the Witherjar touch. |
| 14237 Now that the cells have been removed from Rielev's life support unit, he is beyond revival. There is nothing more that one can learn from this tortured soul. |
| 14238 Huh? |
| 14239 Wow, ye sure do looks big and mean for a <GIRLBOY>. |
| 14240 My mother says we should stay away from people like you. You could be wizards. |
| 14241 I bet my daddy could whup your hide! |
| 14242 I wish I could go to the circus, but Momma says that I'm not allowed 'cause it's dangerous. |
| 14243 The circus is closed for a while, I hear. I'm bored. |
| 14244 Brother Keelan is missing, Momma says, so I don't have to go to temple today. |
| 14245 I have to pee. |
| 14246 I want to see your pet. Can he come out and play? |
| 14247 No. I have had enough of tiny people trying to steal Boo. Away! |
| 14248 Are you an adventurer, sir? Can I grow up to be one just like you? |
| 14249 It would be better that you remain safely with your family and do not seek out such a life on purpose, child. |
| 14250 You sure are ugly for a lady. |
| 14251 The pool draws you to it. Within its depths, you see a wondrous sight. A strange and beautiful city rises before your eyes. Metallic buildings reach as far as the eye can see, and people of all races mingle and live in harmony. Extraordinary machines carry them about their daily business. Reluctantly, you draw your eyes away from the serene image. |
| 14252 I AM a wizard, rotten child. Another word from you and you'll see just how truly irate a wizard can get. (Rodents. Rodents everywhere I turn! Bah!) |
| 14253 Fire Seeds |
| 14254 Fire Seeds (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 6 Sphere: Elemental Range: 0 Duration: 3 turns Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: 1/2 Casting the Fire Seed spell creates 4 fire seeds that will appear in the caster's inventory. The seeds will remain in existence for 3 turns after the spell is cast. If they are thrown at an enemy, a fireball will ensue, causing 2d8 points of damage to all within a 15-ft. radius unless they make a Saving Throw vs. Spell for half damage. |
| 14255 I've always time for a fellow servant of nature. What is troubling you, Cernd? |
| 14256 I always have time to speak with a fine servant of nature. What is it you require, Cernd? |
| 14257 Make it quick, Cernd. I've things to do. |
| 14258 Not right now, Cernd. |
| 14259 Perhaps silence says more than any answer. There is something not natural about you, though I cannot place my finger on it. Nature will keep an eye on you. |

| 14268 I have a concern as a servant of nature. I... I don't know how to phrase this, but are you... normal? Something is not quite right, and I fear it may be you. |
| 14269 Who are you, sir? Are you a priest? |
| 14270 I'm sure, but this matter must be explored. I... do not know how to say this inoffensively, but are you... normal? The feeling I get from you is... disturbing. |
| 14271 I am not a holy man as such, but I do find faith in nature. Perhaps one day you too will wish to live amidst the green rather than the cold of a stone dwelling. |

| 14277 Ha ha, no, certainly not! |
| 14278 You sure do look creepy, mister. |
| 14279 Ha! Such a delightful child you are. Here, let me juggle a few knives to amuse you. How do you like that? |
| 14280 WOW! |
| 14281 *sniff* I really wanted to go to the circus too, but I guess something happened there and now I can't. |
| 14282 Thhhhppppt! Nyah nyah! |

| 14285 Sunray (Evocation, Alteration) Level: 7 Sphere: Sun Range: 20 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special When this spell is cast, it causes a ray of sunlight to beam down upon the caster and everyone within a 20-ft. radius. All creatures within the area of effect take 3d6 points of damage and must save vs. Spell or be blinded for 1 turn. Undead that are hit by the sunray take 1d6 damage per level of the caster, and must save vs. Spell or be destroyed. |

| 14298 My brother thumped me but good this morning. He's going to pay. Can I hire you to beat him up? |
| 14299 I think circuses are stupid. I say good riddance if somebody died there. |
| 14300 My momma works at the Copper Coronet. She says it's just a flash panney, but I don't know what that means. |
| 14301 Ye sure are lookin' serious, mister. Are ye all right, aye? |
| 14302 I am as serious as befits one of my nature. You would do well to think on this yourself, child, if you ever wish to rise above the squalor you live in. |
| 14303 Within the pool, the mists swirl in an unsettling fashion. You catch a brief glimpse of a wasteland littered with corpses. Battles rage where brother slays brother and the only peace to be found is that of the grave. Just as quickly, the vision slips away and the pool is again empty. |
| 14304 Me pa warned me o' people like you! |
| 14305 I've ne'er had a liking fer the longlimb cutters. Now I've even less! Begone! |
| 14306 What... what exactly is it you seem to sense? |
| 14307 Mind your own business, Cernd. |
| 14308 You know you have nothing to fear. You would not travel with me if you thought otherwise. |
| 14309 Coran |
| 14310 Ye look stupid, giant one. Are ye stupid? I be thinkin' so. |
| 14311 Stupid is as stupid does, young one. So says Boo. |
| 14312 You do not have quite as much in common with her as her other creations. You look like a duck and quack like a duck, but <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, you ain't a duck. |
| 14313 Gosh. I wish my skin was as dark and as beautiful as yours. I could hide anywhere! |
| 14314 The pool churns and swirls. Strange lights dance within. As you stare at the pool, you catch a glimpse of a cityscape. For a brief moment, with absolute clarity, you watch as the city changes. Ages pass and the inhabitants drop their primitive tools and ways. Discoveries are made and the minds of the people change and grow, everyday grasping a new fact or invention. The image slips away until you see only a pool. |
| 14315 Gate (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Sphere: Summoning Range: 60 ft. Duration: 33 rounds Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None By means of this spell, the caster calls an outer-planar creatureâ€â€the pit fiendâ€â€to attack <PRO_HISHER> foes as well as <PRO_HIMHER>self, if <PRO_HESHE>'s not careful. The caster must use a Protection From Evil spell on <PRO_HIMHER>self (and comrades) to keep the devil from noticing <PRO_HIMHER>. If the caster fails to protect <PRO_HIMHER>self in this manner, the pit fiend will tear the caster and <PRO_HISHER> companions apart piece by piece, then feast on the remains. |
| 14316 Poor child. I would give you all I could if I had much to spare. That so many should be so poor just doesn't sit well with me. |
| 14317 Ye should stay away from me! Ye're all a bunch o' wizards! |
| 14318 Potion of Squirrel Change |
| 14319 By Helm, ye have fuzzy hair all o'er yer feet! Why does ye not wear shoes, then, t' hide it? |
| 14320 Symbol, Fear (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Sphere: Guardian Range: 90 ft. Duration: Special Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. Symbol, Fear is a powerful enchantment that allows the priest to inscribe a symbol on the ground or any other surface. The symbol will remain there until someone comes too close, at which point it will explode causing all those within the area to make a Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -4 penalty or be affected by fear for 2 rounds + 1 round every 3 levels of the caster. |
| 14321 Hmph. I'm rather proud of my hair, child. And my halfling feet are stouter than any leather shoe, I'll have you know. |
| 14322 Ye look rather strange, by Helm. Why does ye look so strange? |
| 14323 It is not that I look strange, young one, it is simply that you have never seen my kind, perhaps. Very few of your kind have, I would think. |
| 14324 My momma works at the Copper Coronet. What's a slattern? |
| 14325 Me pa says ye must liquor yer boots before ye travel, aye? |
| 14326 Me brother was mugged an' robbed and now 'e's dead. |
| 14327 Does ye want t' play a game o' wheelie? |
| 14328 Me ma says that ye're only as tall as yer last deal, she does. |
| 14329 Ye look like a kobold. I bet ye don' spend a red copper unless it's pried from yer fingers. |
| 14330 Me ma says strangers are all awash in red ink. |
| 14331 I've ne'er seen people with so much stuff. I wish I had as much stuff as all of you. |
| 14332 What is this "clap" you speak of, child? Enough. Begone, you are disturbing me. |
| 14333 Charming. Are you accusing me of something? Because if you are, speak it plain. |
| 14334 And if I am... different, what would your reaction be? What does your duty tell you? |
| 14335 I breathe like any other. You know I can be trusted; you would not travel with me otherwise. |
| 14336 The pool churns and swirls. Strange lights dance within. For a brief, tantalizing moment, the pool clears. You watch in wonder as a world is born. In fire and molten rock, lands rise and fall. Gaseous liquids snake and pour and time passes. Eventually, seas are formed and a spark of life appears. The first organism is created and plant life begins its slow, inevitable, blanketing of this new world. |
| 14337 Me ma says you can catch the clap from an elf. Do you have the clap, elven lady? |
| 14338 This pool is not lit as the other two are. Its surface is still and lifeless. As you watch, a void opens and icy tendrils pull at your awareness, screaming, pleading, demanding that you submit. In horror, you look away and the tendrils recede. The pool is again still. |
| 14339 Does ye have a coin to spare? I'm hungry. |
| 14340 I... I would know what you are. You can choose not to say, and I suppose it really doesn't matter, but it would ease my mind and further our trust. |
| 14341 There was a bunch of flashes when that wizard fought those men in black. He beat them all! Did you see it?! |
| 14342 My father says the clerics of Talos are killing everyone and should die horrible deaths at the end of a rope. I don't think he likes them very much. |
| 14343 And what is it that you think you sense? |
| 14344 You have no reason to concern yourself with my affairs. Mind your own business. |
| 14345 Does it trouble you? You wouldn't travel with me at all if you thought me dangerous. What does this matter? |
| 14346 You know what is different about you, yet you are also not willing to speak it. At least, that is my understanding. |
| 14347 Again, the pool clears. Life within the seas becomes a savage fight for survival. A creature seeks safety on land. It is merely the first. These pioneers grow and change; from giant lizards to tiny insects, they change, and the world with them. Heat and ice change places, and eventually, a stooped, hairy beast begins to walk on two legs so that his other appendages can be put to better use. The vision is lost to you. |
| 14349 The churning pool clears for a moment. You see a man walk by, filthy and primitive. From a pouch of uncured animal hide, he pulls a stick, held taut and bowed with a piece of dried sinew. He wraps the sinew about another stick and runs it from side to side, spinning the stick through a pile of tinder. Wisps of smoke rise, and the man blows carefully. Soon he has a merry blaze. He grins, displaying a row of rotted and missing teeth. With the fire, he shall harden a spear. With the spear, he shall kill his brother. With his brother dead, he shall have a cave and a wife. The grin widens as the vision slowly fades. The pool is again still. |
| 14350 What are ye doin' in me home? Did ye think th' bleedin' door belonged to ye? Out! Out, ye bleedin' noddy! |
| 14351 Eeek! You frightened me! Get out! Out of my house! |
| 14352 I'll be jibbered if I'm going to allow uninvited guests to messy up my floors. Out ye go, then. |
| 14353 You certainly don't look like anything I want in my house. |
| 14354 No, I don't want a room. |
| 14355 You can take yourself and your ugly countenance back through the door ye weren't invited in. |
| 14356 This is a wide piece of oak bark. Bel Dalemark has mentioned that oak bark is used to make tannin, a necessary ingredient in the tanning of animal hides. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 14357 Ach, I've certainly no need for visitors like ye. What does ye want? |
| 14358 I was actually looking for a place to spend the night. |
| 14359 Well, ye won't be spendin' the night here, I can tell ye that. Get ye to the slumsâ€â€ye can spend your nights at the Copper Coronet, more like. |
| 14360 Now out ye go. Out, out now. |
| 14361 Can you tell me anything about the stores nearby? |
| 14362 Well, there's several if ye would look first and not just barge into houses demandin' directions. Someone like ye should be tryin' the Adventure Mart, methinks. |
| 14363 Well, you can stand still and hold your sharp tongue while I rob you blind. |
| 14364 Aiie! I knew it! Thieves! Thieves! |
| 14365 Actually, I was just on my way out. |
| 14366 Good enough, then, out ye go. |
| 14367 Daleson |
| 14368 Good business to ye. I don't remember invitin' ye in, however. |
| 14369 Good business to ye, strangers. Might I ask what ye are doin' in me home? |
| 14370 Aye now, ye may be strangers, but ye look a friendly enough sort. Is there somethin' I can do for ye? |
| 14371 I was actually looking for a place to spend the night. |
| 14372 I was actually looking for a place to spend the night. |
| 14373 Can you tell me anything about the stores nearby? |
| 14374 Can you tell me anything about the stores nearby? |
| 14375 I was just about to help myself to your belongings, madame. Please step aside. |
| 14376 I was just about to help myself to your belongings, madame. Please step aside. |
| 14377 I was just on my way out, thank you. |
| 14378 I was just on my way out, thank you. |
| 14379 I would offer to put ye up if I could, but I've a full house. 'Tis a dismal place, but ye could always stay at the Copper Coronet. Rooms there are cheap enough, I hear. |
| 14380 There's a few places ye could go to shop for things. Hardy folk like yourselves might wish to try the Adventurer Mart, I think. If ye looks on yer map, it's over in the western promenade. |
| 14381 Trap Sprung |
| 14382 What? By the Watcher! Thieves! Thieves in me home! |
| 14383 Fair enough, then. A pearl for ye and your journeys. |
| 14384 You look like a good enough sort, but I'm expecting my husband home anon. If you will excuse me. |
| 14385 Ye may seem like fair company, but I'm quite busy. |
| 14386 By Lathander! I heard that a wizard went insane earlier and almost killed everyone! How can they let those people live when the children are in such danger? |
| 14387 Hmph. The council has raised taxes yet again. Do they want to pave the streets with gold, do you think? |
| 14388 I don't know why anyone would want to go to the slums. Such a dreadful and dangerous place. |
| 14389 I hope the weather doesn't stay like it has been. Without a good crop, trade will certainly suffer. |
| 14390 If you do not wish to speak on this I will have to honor your wish, but I will continue to be vigilant. |
| 14391 My poor son was leapt upon by footpads in the slums. He survived, thank Helm, but I'll not be sending him there again. |
| 14392 The weather has been so hot lately, I just can't do anything with my hair. |
| 14393 I don't know why they even let those Cowled Wizards stay in Athkatla. They frighten me so! |
| 14394 My husband's shop has been robbed four times now. I'm so worried that it's going to close down! |
| 14395 I truly wish my children would stop wanting to go to that circus. I've heard too many things about what has occurred there to even consider it. |
| 14396 It is a good thing the cowled robes took away that wizard. They should take away anyone who even thinks about magic, if you ask me. |

| 14399 Excuse me, but I'm not about to speak to a strange <LADYLORD>. |
| 14400 I'm so sad that services were canceled this morning at the church of Lathander. It seems that one of their acolytes has disappeared. How dreadful! |
| 14401 My sister was fleeced only a few minutes after leaving her home yesterday. What is the city coming to? |
| 14402 Good business to you, my <LADYLORD>. I don't recognize you. Are you new to Athkatla? |
| 14403 If there comes a time when it will be of consequence to you, I will let you know. |
| 14404 I will have no peace until you know. You will damn your ears after I am done. |
| 14405 I suppose you may understand. It is a great weight for me to carry... |
| 14406 Yes, I am, in fact. |
| 14407 No, I've been here for some time. |
| 14408 Ah! Well, welcome to the city. Do you need assistance finding your way around? |
| 14409 Oh, excuse me. A pearl to you and a good day. |
| 14410 I've no wish to speak with you, woman. |
| 14411 How rude! |
| 14412 Yes, I'm trying to find a decent inn or tavern. |
| 14413 Well, I don't know if I would call it decent, but the Copper Coronet is a common destination. |
| 14414 Good business to you, then. |
| 14415 It is BEYOND understanding. Very well, but remember that you asked to bear the weight of this. |
| 14416 You have no business knowing. Tend to your flowers and leave me be. |
| 14417 And if I have no interest in furthering that trust? No, Cernd, I keep my business to myself. |
| 14418 Then I will tell you something of myself, and you can judge whether it promotes trust or not. |
| 14419 Yes, I'm looking for a shop. Perhaps something with weapons and armor? |
| 14420 Hmmm, I wouldn't know much about that. Perhaps the Adventure Mart would have what you're looking for. It's in the bottom tier on the west end of the promenade... look at your map, I suppose. |
| 14421 Yes, I'm looking for some magical equipment, if you know of it. |
| 14422 I certainly wouldn't. *sniff* Nor would any woman of decent character. |
| 14423 If I need assistance, I'll find a compass. |
| 14424 I will get no peace until you know; is that it? Then listen well, and damn you for asking. |
| 14425 No, thank you. |
| 14426 It is something I carry alone. You have asked and I will tell, but hear me out to the fullest. |
| 14427 I saws the fight, I did! A bleedin' wizard fightin' all these men in black! To think a woman could be in bleedin' danger just walkin' down the street. |
| 14428 Me husband tells me all the priests have up an' vanished. He's drunk, says I. I seen a priest just this mornin'. |
| 14429 Crime's just terrible. Even a poor woman can't hold on to 'er coin these days. It's them Shadow Thieves, I tells ye. |
| 14430 Shade Lord |
| 14431 Me kiddies are still cryin' to go to the circus, even after what's happened. |
| 14432 Me bloomers isn't showing, is they? |
| 14433 One mud puddle in the entire street and me child has to go splashin' in it, special-like. I'll tan 'is hide! |
| 14434 If they spent as much time arrestin' all the thieves in the city as they did the wizards, maybe there'd be some coin for us poor folk, aye? |
| 14435 The Copper Coronet isn't such a bad place, really. I knows several girls that works there. |
| 14436 We are comrades in travel and battle, and I have no cause to judge harshly. Speak. |
| 14437 Something's happened at the circus, I hears. It's sorcery, I bet. They should burn the bleedin' place down. |
| 14438 I am sure I will withstand the truth just fine. Speak and I will give you your due. |
| 14439 I had everythin' but me bloomers robbed from me last week. I'd get out of this city if I could. |
| 14440 Me son just became a squire at the Order o' the Radiant Heart! I'm so proud o' him! |
| 14441 As foretold by Alaundo, there came the Time of Troubles, when gods walked the soil beside mortals. Some of them knew they would not survive, and took drastic measures, as gods often do. |
| 14442 That Lehtinan is a bad sort, he is. I hears he hires assassins at his bar, he does. |
| 14443 That Lehtinan is a bad sort, aye? He be harboring wizards in his tavern, methinks. |
| 14444 That Lehtinan is a bad sort. Me husband says he gots all sort of things goin' on in back of the Copper Coronet. |
| 14445 I be wonderin' why the garrison don't do anythin' about the circus there. Are they waitin' for the beasties to bleedin' escape? |
| 14446 This is well known. Speak on. |
| 14447 Of the darkest was Bhaal, Lord of Murder. Bhaal walked the realm before the Time of Troubles and made preparations for his coming demise. |
| 14448 My daughter just got married to a fisherman. I think she could have done far better. |
| 14449 Me shoes are all covered wi' mud again. They should clean the bleedin' streets, that's wot. |
| 14450 I recall when all the assassins of the realms were slain, but you speak of something different? |
| 14451 Bhaal... "seeded" the realms with his children, born of every race and creed, that they might carry his legacy within them. I... am one such child. |
| 14452 The Lord of Murder shall perish, but in his death he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny. So sayeth the wise Alaundo. |
| 14453 I had a brother, named Sarevok, and our conflict was brutal. I am not destined to a peaceful end, Cernd; I am fuel, not an heir. That is my secret. |
| 14454 I don't believe you share the taint of your... father; the influence of a dead god must wane with time. We will continue, and I bear you no ill. |
| 14455 I had a brother, named Sarevok, and our conflict was brutal. I am not destined to a peaceful end, Cernd; I am fuel, not an heir. That is my secret. |
| 14456 If you succumb to his taint further, I will act, for it may be more your own doing. A god is a god, but they are only as strong as the power we give them. |
| 14457 So you say. Know you the blitherings of Alaundo? Of the Time of Troubles, when gods walked alongside we pitiful mortals? A few gods knew of prophecies too, and took... certain steps. |
| 14458 I have heard as such, though more eloquent in the telling. |
| 14459 One of the darkest was Bhaal, Lord of Murder. He knew what would happen, and the sly old bastard laid the groundwork for his future. |
| 14460 He murdered the majority of his followers, did he not? Could what you speak of be any darker than this? |
| 14461 Judge for yourself. Bhaal "seeded" the land with children of every creed, that they might carry his legacy within. Surprise, I am one such child. |
| 14462 We are our parents' children, but we make our own fates. The tree drops the nut, but has no say over how it flourishes. |
| 14463 You are a man of character, Cernd, and I will not risk our friendship. |
| 14464 So say you now, but in time you will come to fear what I am. Others have, and more will. |
| 14465 Wise words, but still only words. You don't know, and can't know, what it is really like. |
| 14466 Perhaps, though it is a struggle at times. I work hard to be my own person. |
| 14467 Do you blame such fear on who your father wishes you to be, or who you are? I should think you will be responsible for the latter. |
| 14468 Gosh, you're a knight, aren't you, sir? Can I see your sword? I want to grow up to be just like you! |
| 14469 Wow, this hairy lady's no taller than me! |
| 14470 They is always takin' people from here to th' Coronet. I saws 'em do it once, an' they had 'em all in chains, they did. |
| 14471 Ye're nuthin' but a big liar! |
| 14472 I am not! They does it late at night, they does! Right from 'ere! I was playin' and I saw it! |
| 14473 And wot would 'ey be doin' with people in chains at th' Coronet, aye? Ever think o' that, ya bleedin' genius? |
| 14474 How should I knows, aye? Maybe ol' Lehtinan puts 'em in 'is 'ouse special, he does! Hah! |
| 14475 Eeeeeew! |
| 14476 I'm ever so hungry. Does ye have a crust o' bread? |
| 14477 The weather has been quite dry here, hasn't it? I'm waiting for it to start raining myself. |
| 14478 I'd be goin' to the Copper Coronet to find some gold work, rather than th' bloody bronze I be stuck wi' now. |
| 14479 I don't like livin' in the slums. 'Tis dangerous here for me wife an' me an' anyone else t' boot. |
| 14480 The council says that slavery is done illegal in Athkatla, but I know tha' t' be a load of horse-shite. |
| 14481 My new babe's gone and gotten the croup. I 'ave to drink good an' well just t' get to sleep. At least, that's wot I tells me wife. |
| 14482 That's the way to handle the problem, is it? Just go and kill all the poor, because THEY are the ones behind it, hm? |
| 14483 I know this Brother Keelan. He has gone missing, has he? How very odd, indeed. This is not like the Keelan that I know. |
| 14484 Yes, of course. How very noble of you to pick on someone so much smaller than you. |
| 14485 There's been some murder or somethin' at that circus. The boy should learn when somethin's not safe, he should. |
| 14486 That sounds like quite the bit of speculation on your imagination's part, sir. |
| 14487 By Lathander! Is that not one of the dark elves amongst you? How utterly appalling! |
| 14488 I am with friends, and I dislike your tone. Keep your suspicions and hatreds to yourself, s'lurppuk! |
| 14489 Well, I have a cousin Barnal who runs a pretty shady business himself. Makes umbrellas, you see, although I don't know what they do with such things in Calimshan. Hide from the sun, avoid bird droppings and the like, I suppose, since there can't be a drop of rain to be had. 'Course, Barnal makes them out of pressed camel dung. Rotten business, that. |
| 14490 No, I suppose we do not. We are mortal like any other. A lesson the other Families could do to learn, though I would not wish this on my worst enemy. |
| 14491 You are always welcome to rejoin the peace and harmony of nature, friend. It is how we were meant to live, and there is no lack of food or prosperity. |
| 14492 'Ey, now! Aren't you wi' that band o' fellows that's been performin'? Ye're bleedin' good, ye are! |
| 14493 Why, thank you, friend. If I had the time to spare, I would regale you with a story just to return your compliment. |
| 14494 Yes, indeed. Speak once more against those with enough intelligence to grind you into salt and I'll instill a bit more respect in you, fool. |
| 14495 Aye now, is that a rat yer carryin' there, fella? He looks nice an' plump. How's about two coppers for 'im? |
| 14496 No! Boo is NOT for eating! Boo is mighty and wise and probably quite stringy. Er, and he is my companion! |
| 14497 Ach, I'll not be bothered by the likes of you. |
| 14498 Daleson |
| 14499 Lady Delcia Caan |
| 14500 Aye now, you may be strangers, but you look a friendly enough sort. Is there something I can do for you? |
| 14501 Lady Delcia Caan |
| 14502 I was actually looking for a place to spend the night. |
| 14503 Can you tell me anything about the stores nearby? |
| 14504 I was just about to help myself to your belongings, madame. Please step aside. |
| 14505 I was just on my way out, thank you. |
| 14506 Lord Farthington Roenall |
| 14507 You seem like good enough folk, but this is not an inn, naturally. You might wish to stay in the Copper Coronet in the slums. |
| 14508 Lord Farthington Roenall |
| 14509 If I were you, I would try the Adventurer Mart. They would likely have what you want. |
| 14510 Ayeii! Thieves! Thieves! |
| 14511 A good journey to you, then. |
| 14512 Pardon me, I wasn't expecting company. You'll have to excuse me, as I'm very busy. |
| 14513 Excuse me, but didn't I ask you to leave? |
| 14514 Mmm, oh, are you still here? |
| 14515 Isaea Roenall |
| 14516 Isaea Roenall |
| 14517 Ach, leave or I'll be calling the guard on ye! |
| 14518 Ye seem good enough, but ye're wearin' on me patience. |
| 14519 My husband told me that several clerics have gone missing lately. How awful! |

| 14543 Why, thank you, my dear. A wonderful compliment from such a fine beauty. |

| 14545 I hears another guild has been workin' over the Shadow Thieves. Causin' trouble is all, more like. |
| 14546 Surly |
| 14547 Surly |
| 14548 Aye now, you're a pretty one, aren't ye? I knows a fella who'd pay plenty good for some sweet time with a girl like ye. |
| 14549 Ah... no thank you. I am in no need of employment. *blush* |
| 14550 Pushing on the lever of the machine seems to excite the demon that stands in the circle. The magic barrier that surrounds it weakens visibly. If the wheel is turned further, you expect that the magic might disappear altogether. |
| 14551 Hello, aye? I thinks I'm knowing you, aren't I? |
| 14552 No, my lady, I am pretty sure you do not. |
| 14553 You push the lever, and the room begins to hum. The magic barrier around the demon disappears. The fiend snarls and gnashes his teeth. |
| 14554 Oh, me stars, ye aren't a true knight, is ye? |
| 14555 I am, my lady. A knight with the force of arms, and a paladin with the force of wisdom. Guardian of the righteous and herald of glory. |
| 14556 Aye now, I didn't know they made little warriors in yer size. Ye're just a little scrapper, aren't ye? |
| 14557 I'm a fighter true of heart and striving towards wisdom and perfection. I don't really think my size has anything to do with it. |
| 14558 Aye now, a good business to ye. Does ye have a gold coin to spare a poor beggar? |
| 14559 I can spare a coin. Here you go, sir. Spend it in good health. |
| 14560 A pearl to ye, a pearl to ye. Many thanks. |
| 14561 Actually, I can spare more than that if you can answer a question for me. How about 5 gold? |
| 14562 I'm sorry, I cannot spare anything at the moment. |
| 14563 Get away from me, you filthy beggar! I'll not spend time speaking to the likes of you! |
| 14564 Rot yer skull, then, ye bleedin' kobold! |
| 14565 Ah, I be sorry to hear that. Good business to ye, then. |
| 14566 How can I help but buy that from such generous folk? What is it tha' ye want t' know, aye? |
| 14567 Temple Superior |
| 14568 Temple Superior |
| 14569 Is there anywhere here to have a drink or stay for the night? |
| 14570 Is there anything odd going on that you could tell us of? |
| 14571 I've heard that these slums are quite dangerous. Do you know anything about that? |
| 14572 Actually, now that I think of it, nothing. Give me my 5 gold back. |
| 14573 I don't think I need to know anything after all. Good health to you. |
| 14574 Sluice a' the Copper Coronet here in th' slums. Be wary, it's raided oft by th' garrison, but Lehtinan usually buys off whatever real trouble comes 'is way. |
| 14575 Strange things at night: People marched across the slums chained like animals. Kept me nose out of it, 'cuz I no want to end up in chains like 'em folk, no <SIRMAAM>. |
| 14576 Vara Fentan |
| 14577 Vara Fentan |
| 14578 A mite more dangerous with th' trouble between Shadow Thieves and their enemies. Don't know who the other guild is, but they're in for trouble, I be bettin'. |
| 14579 Thanks be to ye, and a pearl to yer health. |
| 14580 Ye be takin' money back from a beggar awash in red ink? Rot yer skull, I'll have none o' it. |
| 14581 These jars are each filled with clones of the same woman, or parts of her at least. Some seem to be living, but most are lifeless within the fluid. One jar is broken. |
| 14582 Aye now? Ye be back again, does ye? Mayhap ye have another gold to spare, aye? |
| 14583 Wallace |
| 14584 Wallace |
| 14585 I can spare a coin. Here you go, sir. Spend it in good health. |
| 14586 Actually, I can spare more than that if you can answer a question for me. How about 5 gold? |
| 14587 I'm sorry, I cannot spare anything at the moment. |
| 14588 Get away from me, you filthy beggar! I'll not spend time speaking to the likes of you! |
| 14589 Ahhhh... I am never quite so happy as when I am in the wildest parts of nature. To live as the animals do is a very liberating thing. |
| 14590 Pipe down, Cernd, I don't have the time. |
| 14591 You cannot be advocating that all civilized people should act like animals. The result would be chaos. |
| 14592 I do like to indulge my animal side now and again. Nothing like a little base carnage to liven up a tenday. |
| 14593 Daria Thet |
| 14594 Daria Thet |
| 14595 Well, now this is a bloody disappointment, isn't it? My wife and I come all the way from Trademeet to see this circus, and we can't even go in because of some kind of problem. Outrageous! |
| 14596 I agree, though it would not be to everyone's tastes. |
| 14597 Dario Thet |
| 14598 And the ride was so terribly bumpy and uncomfortable. I won't be able to sleep for a week, alas. |
| 14604 This jar is broken, and its fluid is drained. It looks as if the clone within has escaped. |
| 14605 Mind you, it wasn't a complete loss. There was that rather showy display of magic when that wizard blew his top earlier. That was rather invigorating, that was. |
| 14606 Dario Thet |
| 14607 The central unit seems to power the others. |
| 14608 Harrold! How can you say such a thing? I was absolutely terrified! |
| 14609 Elder Sorn |
| 14610 Well, what a bloody surprise. This from a woman who screams murder at the sight of a squirrel. |
| 14611 Elder Sorn |
| 14612 We could have been struck by lightning! Or fire! It was horrendous! |
| 14613 I really don't think he was aiming at US, dear. |
| 14614 Nevertheless, I was mortified. Those poor men in black that he was fighting with! Such terrible violence! And now we have nothing to do but head home once again. *sigh* |
| 14615 Well, I'm not exactly looking forward to spending the whole ride cooped up with her now, am I? |
| 14616 Harrold! Another quip like that and you'll be making the ride alone! |
| 14617 Yes, dear. |
| 14618 *sigh* This circus still hasn't opened. The bloody wife is too stubborn to just move on as well. |
| 14619 I don't care what happened to close down this circus. We came from out of town to see it, and we're not leaving until these guards let us in! |
| 14620 Calm yourself, dear. The children lost interest over an hour ago. Perhaps we should go home? |
| 14621 Absolutely not! I want to know what's going on! I demand answers! |
| 14622 *sigh* Women. |
| 14623 I heard that, Harrold! NOT ANOTHER WORD. |
| 14624 The next words I want to hear will come from those guards letting us in. |
| 14625 As you will, though if you throw enough rocks, the birds will forever avoid your feeders. |
| 14626 They know their role in the greater scheme and live peacefully as such. When was the last time you saw a stag lament that it was a stag? |
| 14627 Right before the bear closed in and killed it, I would imagine. |
| 14628 I suppose, though life without ambition is quite contrary to what people are used to. |
| 14629 It knows no other life. Perhaps it wishes to be something else, but has nothing to compare itself to. |
| 14630 There is peace in knowing you are part of something greater. The bear may eat the stag, but the bear's waste and, ultimately, its corpse will feed the land. |
| 14631 Different, yes, but not undesirable. There are those that fear change and change alone, whether they comprehend what might result or not. |
| 14632 Why would it wish to be something it is not? It can be the best stag, so why worry about whether it would make a good beaver? Regret is a "civilized" trait. |
| 14633 Certainly, but so few even dare to try. They have forgotten where they came from, but I can show them. That is my duty, to nature and all her offspring. |
| 14634 Hold! This tent has been closed off for your own safety, citizen! The circus has been closed until this matter is resolved. |
| 14635 Why? What has occurred here? |
| 14636 All right, I'll be on my way then. |
| 14637 I'd like to go inside and check it out for myself. |
| 14638 Why? What's wrong with the tent? |
| 14639 On your way then, citizen. |
| 14640 I'm sorry, citizen, but I'll not add you to my list of problems. We've lost a whole garrison squad in this tent, and I doubt you will do any better. |
| 14641 Maybe another time. |

| 14646 Come again! |
| 14647 We are not exactly sure. There was no problem until a show was scheduled earlier in the morning. |
| 14649 Apparently, the show began well enough... and then something occurred. Nobody has come out of the tent who went in for the show... and everyone we have sent in to investigate has not come out either. |
| 14650 Paralyzed |
| 14651 Foul magic is, no doubt, involved here. We are waiting for the Cowled Wizards to arrive. They will be able to solve this, I am sure. |
| 14652 Nobody at all has gotten out? |
| 14653 Perhaps you're right. I'll be on my way then, for now. |
| 14654 I can handle myself. Perhaps I can solve this problem for you. |
| 14655 I see. I'll be on my way, then. |
| 14656 Very well then. I'll not stop you if you wish to risk yourself, citizen. You were warned. |
| 14657 Well... we have been told that one of the animal trainers darted out after the show began, but we have not been able to find him yet. |
| 14658 Hm. I can handle myself. Perhaps I can solve the problem here for you. |
| 14659 I might be able to track him down. See you later. |
| 14660 Tell me what happened here. |
| 14661 I'd like to see inside the tent, actually. |

| 14679 I am Hendak, a proud warrior from the North until my capture by slavers. I have been imprisoned longer than any of these men and survived, though only barely. |
| 14680 I can truly offer you little in return for my freedom... |
| 14681 Please, by all that is holy, what Lehtinan is doing is wrong! He forces the women into servitude and throws men to gruesome deaths merely to make his profit! |
| 14682 I hope you will be able to, my friend. You will but need the key... which... |
| 14683 He... Khalid... is dead, and has been so for some time! Beyond a point, there can be no raising, especially when the body has been... has been desecrated! |
| 14684 The beastmaster stays with the creatures that he trains. |
| 14685 Yes, there are greater spells that raise even the aged dead, but they leech from the caster, and I will not ask that of someone! Khalid would not have it! |
| 14686 I owe you my thanks once again. As do all those you have freed. I intend to take this place as payment for my slavery, to ensure it is never used as such again. |
| 14687 We live in a time of miracles, and nature allows the rebirth of many that have passed beyond the vale, but there is a time when... when it is better to let go. |
| 14688 I wish I did not have to ask, but there is one more task that needs doing. The slavers remain at large within Athkatla, hidden at their base here in the slums. |
| 14689 The garrison? The garrison is no more capable of shutting down the slavers than they were capable of shutting down this bar. |
| 14690 That bleeding heart of yours must cost you a small fortune in laundering. Child, you're adrift in denial. |
| 14691 You will not speak ill of my life with Khalid! I will answer such insults with lethal intent, and rightfully so! You cannot know... you cannot! |
| 14692 Mugger |
| 14693 Mugger |
| 14694 You have done more than was required of you, and for that you have Hendak's most humble thanks. |
| 14695 Your opinion is of a fool that thinks magic and spells are the ultimate forces that shape our lives! You will learn that some... some things are unalterable! |
| 14696 We cannot prevail here; best we leave until we can. Another day, another place; there will be righteous vengeance, but in its own time. Oh yes... in time. |
| 14697 Sewage Golem Key |
| 14698 I doubt we would have come this far if a battle were not distracting our host! We will exact punishment when we can; there is no point in dying here. |
| 14699 I expect less of you with each utterance. I have said what I know, and you can take it or leave it. Ask around and you will know I speak the truth. |
| 14700 I was wondering the same, though we are not all that far from home and organizations can span continents. Perhaps it is not an individual that seeks our heads. |
| 14701 I can't believe this! My building is underneath that thing... or inside it... or somewhere... |
| 14702 You are too far away to use that. |
| 14703 It's a strange time along this Sword Coast. The brink of war was averted, but the countryside remains hazardous to the citizenry. |
| 14704 Your building? |
| 14705 I own a tenement. Came back from the Coronet a few weeks back and WHAM, there it was! Replaced my building, it did. |
| 14706 I do not know the city well enough to give directions though. We will have to seek out the slums. Perhaps we may find who holds Imoen still. |
| 14707 Hey, now... I wonder if that means that I own it? It IS my land, after all. |
| 14708 Yeah... hey... HEY ALL YOU FOLKS! THIS HERE IS MY BIG SPHERE! GOT THAT? IT'S MINE! |
| 14709 The war your half-brother nearly started. What do you think I was speaking of? |

| 14714 Lady Beth |
| 14715 Perhaps in the slums, we will find who planned this, or who has Imoen still. I have heard that the Copper Coronet is a good place to find information. |
| 14716 Back again, eh? What is it, exactly, that you wish? This tent is closed for your own safety. |
| 14717 Hmmmm. I always love a dark, brooding woman. I sense that you have a sensuous nature, my elven beauty... |
| 14718 You do not know the half of it, male. |
| 14719 Indeed? Perhaps we could... find someplace more private and discuss the things we have in common...? |
| 14720 You do not interest me, male. And I doubt that you could withstand the force of drow passion. |
| 14721 I'd be willing to die if that is what it took to partake of your swarthy lust, my dear... |
| 14722 Hmm... suddenly I am tempted. But no. Go away, male. |
| 14723 Why, hello there, my sweet one. Come here often? |
| 14724 Get lost, Salvanas. You know I come here all the time. |
| 14726 Where in th' bleedin' blazes did ye come from? I can't hardly believe that th' bleedin' mage went crazy, he did! As if a guild war in Athkatla wasn't enough! |
| 14727 And I have always watched you, dear Nalia... my heart burning with an ache that I cannot quench... |
| 14728 My apologies, Mazzy, I thought you were stooping. |

| 14744 Albert |
| 14745 Well, take care o' yerself, then. A good business to ye. |
| 14746 Athkatla? The capital of Amn? Hm. Did you see what happened to the mage? |
| 14747 Albert |
| 14748 You wouldn't happen to know who those men were who the wizard was fighting, do you? |
| 14749 Who were those men who took Imoen and the mage? Where can I find them? |

| 14802 Excuse me, then, I must be going. |
| 14803 Nay. They were all in black an' swarmed with their daggers 'bout an hour ago. I thought there would be trouble, but didn't think they would suffer the most. |
| 14804 The promenade? |
| 14805 Do you know who the men dressed in black were? |
| 14806 Some men took him and Imoen away. Do you know who they were or where they went? |
| 14807 I've got to be going. |
| 14808 Aye, this here be Waukeen's Promenade, center o' trade an' such in the city. |
| 14809 The cowled ones? Who are they? Why would they be arresting anyone for magic? |
| 14810 Do you know where I am? |
| 14811 Did you see everything that happened? |
| 14812 How about the men the wizard was fighting? Do you know who they were? |
| 14813 Excuse me, I must be going. |
| 14814 Unless, of course, ye haves the permission o' the Cowled Wizards to use yer magic. Don't know how one'd go about gettin' such a thing, though. |
| 14815 And where would here be? |
| 14816 The ones who took the wizard and Imoen, do you know who they are and where they went? |
| 14817 Did you see everything that happened? |
| 14818 Excuse me, I must be going. |
| 14819 Did you see everything that happened? |
| 14820 You wouldn't happen to know who those men were who the wizard was fighting, do you? |
| 14821 Who were those men who took Imoen and the mage? Where can I find them? |
| 14822 I suppose I'll have to try and find my way around. Excuse me. |
| 14823 How about the men the wizard was fighting? Do you know who they were? |
| 14824 I suppose I'll have to find my way around. Excuse me. |
| 14825 Is 'ere somethin' I can help ye with? |
| 14826 Don't mean to bother you, but could you tell me where I am? |
| 14827 Could you tell me if you saw what happened earlier? |
| 14829 Those men who took Imoen and the wizard earlier, do you know who they were or where they went? |
| 14830 Sorry to bother you, just passing through. |
| 14831 What bleedin' hole did ye come from? Hope ye're not here to fight, 'cause all that fuss be already over wi'. |
| 14832 Do you know where I am? |
| 14833 Did you see what happened? |
| 14834 Who were those men who took Imoen and that mage? |
| 14835 Excuse me, I've got to be going. |
| 14836 Well, fine. Off ye go. |
| 14837 I'll find my own way around now, then. |
| 14838 You cannot increase this ability any further. |
| 14839 Nah, that gnoll is gno more, my friend. |
| 14840 You cannot decrease this ability any further. |
| 14841 You cannot increase this skill any further. |
| 14842 You cannot decrease this skill any further. |
| 14843 I've got to be going. |
| 14844 Well, I've got to go. |
| 14845 I'll find my way around now. |
| 14846 I suppose I'll have to try and find my way around. |
| 14847 I suppose I'll have to find my way around. Excuse me. |
| 14848 Greetings to you. Did you have aught to do with the spectacle that I just witnessed, hm? No doubt more warring peasants in that guild business. |
| 14849 Um... of a sort, I suppose so. That wizard who was taken away... do you know who he is? |
| 14850 In a way, perhaps. Can you tell me where I am? |
| 14851 I'm a friend of the woman that was taken with the wizard. Do you know who took them and where they went? |
| 14852 Did you see what happened? |
| 14853 None of your business. Excuse me. |
| 14854 Hmph. I suppose one should expect such manners from an outlander. |
| 14855 How one gets a license from the Cowled Wizards to use magic I do not know, although I imagine someone in the Government District must. |
| 14856 Ah, I thought you must be outlanders from your accent and garb. Welcome to Athkatla, the City of Coin. |
| 14857 Undue practice of magic is forbidden here, naturally. Where the wizards would take your friend, however, I do not know. |
| 14858 The fire and lightning had us all running, and much of the promenade here has been destroyed. It is good that the wizard was arrested for his recklessness. |
| 14859 The Cowled Wizards? Are they the ones who took Imoen and the wizard? Where did they go? |
| 14860 Could you tell me where I am? |
| 14861 Did you see everything that happened here? |
| 14862 Excuse me, I must be going. |
| 14863 Very well. A good business to you, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 14864 Athkatla? The capital of Amn? Ummm... you wouldn't know who the wizard was that was taken away, would you? |
| 14865 Athkatla? Hm. Do you know who those men were that took the wizard and my friend? Where might they have gone? |
| 14866 I see. Did you happen to witness everything that happened here? |
| 14867 I must be going. Excuse me. |
| 14868 Well, I have no doubt in my mind that that wizard is a criminal to begin with. Do you know who he is? |
| 14869 And where might "here" be? Can you tell me where I am? |
| 14870 Did you happen to see everything that happened? |
| 14871 Excuse me, I must be going. |
| 14872 The promenade? |
| 14873 The men in black who attacked the wizard, do you know who they were? |
| 14874 You wouldn't happen to know who that wizard is, would you? |
| 14875 He was arrested, yes, and so was a friend of mine. Do you know who arrested them and where they went? |
| 14876 Well, I must find my way. Excuse me. |
| 14877 If you are looking for more answers, you will find others of your ilk at a place called the Copper Coronet in the slums. No disrespect intended, naturally. |
| 14878 I suspect that those men were Shadow Thieves, in fact, from the local guild. Why they would attack a wizard, however, I have no idea. |
| 14879 I see. That wizard who was taken, do you know who he is? |
| 14880 I'm a friend of the girl who was taken away with the wizard. Do you know who took them and where they went? |
| 14881 Might you know who those men in black who attacked the wizard were? |
| 14882 Perhaps I'll head there. Good day to you. |
| 14883 I see. That wizard who was taken, do you know who he is? |
| 14884 I'm a friend of the girl who was taken away with the wizard. Do you know who took them and where they went? |
| 14885 You mentioned something about a "promenade." What is that? |
| 14886 Well, I'll have to find out. Good day. |
| 14887 Who are you then? More agitators to increase the destruction already wrought here? From a lowly guild of evil, no doubt. I'll call the guards! |
| 14888 We are here to do no harm. That wizard who was taken away... do you know who he is? |
| 14889 No need, my lady. Can you tell me where I am? |
| 14890 I'm a friend of the girl who was taken away with the wizard. Do you know who took them and where they went? |
| 14891 It is not. Did you see what happened? |
| 14892 Bunkhouse |
| 14893 Do as you will. I'll be on my way. |
| 14894 Fie and good riddance, then. |
| 14895 Yes? Is there something I can help you with, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 14896 Not to be a bother, but could you tell me if you know who the wizard is who was taken away? |
| 14897 Could you perhaps tell me where I am? |
| 14898 The Bunkhouse |
| 14899 I'm a friend of the girl who was taken away with the wizard. Do you know who took them and where they went? |
| 14900 Did you see much of what happened earlier? |
| 14901 No, thank you. I'll be on my way. |
| 14902 Yes, what is it? I'll thank you not to bother me. |
| 14903 Could you tell me if you know who the wizard is who was taken away? |
| 14904 Could you perhaps tell me where I am? |
| 14905 Candlekeep |
| 14906 I'm a friend of the girl who was taken away with the wizard. Do you know who took them and where they went? |

| 14909 Hmph! |
| 14910 Aiiieeeya! Oh! Ah, oh. You startled me, please forgive me. *shudder* |
| 14911 What is the problem? |
| 14912 Next time watch what you're doing. |
| 14913 You should try to calm down. I'll leave you alone. |
| 14914 Y-yes, of course. D-d-didn't mean to f-frighten you, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 14915 I *gulp* I'll try. Good b-b-business to you. |
| 14916 The p-problem? I was in the circus tent, and I g-g-got out just in time! Just in time to save my life! *gasp* Oh, it was t-terrible! |
| 14917 Relax and tell me what happened from the beginning, friend. |
| 14918 Quit your whining and stop bothering me. I've better things to do. |
| 14919 I don't know who the performer was. I was so mad about b-being delayed, you see, I stayed in the b-back of the tent and p-prepared my tigers. |
| 14920 Their bodies began shifting right before my eyes! The tent was disappearing, being replaced by... things I had n-never seen before! I ran for the exit. |
| 14921 I escaped j-j-just in time! I'm the only one who c-came out, and no one who has g-gone in has come back. *shudder* The th-things I saw. Horrible! |
| 14922 Are you sure you don't know anything about this "special performance"? |
| 14923 What kinds of things did you see when you fled, Fearghus? |
| 14924 Nalia abducted by Isaea Roenall I brought the evidence I had before Isaea's commander, Corgeig, but it is not enough to warrant an investigation in the man's eyes. I will need to collect more before he will listen to me. |
| 14925 I think I may have to take a closer look into this. |
| 14926 I've never heard such a ridiculous story in my life. |
| 14928 N-no! It's the truth! I s-swear! *shudder* |
| 14929 I wouldn't g-go in the tent if I were you. Oh, I don't know what I'm going to d-do! *shudder* I'm so frightened! |

| 14988 It's an excellent thing that the council has imposed more taxes upon the poor. We simply must resolve this nuisance problem of all the crime. It makes the city look absolutely dreadful! |

| 15021 They are my friends. And their deeds make them far more worthy than anything related to one's birth. |
| 15022 Did you hear of that wizard's outrageous outburst? I say they should all be executed. Magic is such a horrible thing. |
| 15023 My good friend Dawnmistress Aya has gone missing. The church of Lathander is in such a state, looking for her. I'm so distraught over it I almost missed my tailor appointment this morning. Tsk tsk. |
| 15024 I don't know why the garrison doesn't simply ride into the slums and clean the place out. That's obviously where all this crime has been coming from. |

| 15036 My husband had a shipment of ore coming from Nashkel, and it actually got robbed, of all things. By Helm, something should be done! |
| 15037 Are you actually speaking to me? A commoner? Oh, I think I might faint. |
| 15038 A million pardons, but it is simply red ink to speak to one of such obvious low birth. |
| 15039 Oh, how cute! You've given one of the little people a weapon to play with! If my children were here to see this, they would be SO delighted! |
| 15040 *grrr* I am a virtuous follower of Arvoreen. He will reward me for my patience. *sigh* |

| 15045 I suppose you will all be going onto that dreadful Copper Coronet in the slums. You seem like the sort of folk who would be found there. |
| 15046 Something happened at the circus, and nobody can come out of the tent. How awful! My maidservant is still in there, and I've no one to carry the trail of my dress! |
| 15047 The weather has been so awful lately. My hair is so limp, and my maids can do nothing with it! |
| 15048 My husband's gone on a hunting trip outside of Trademeet. I do so hope he will be all right. |
| 15049 Excuse me, but it is impertinent to speak to a lady of class when she is accompanied by her husband. |
| 15050 Ah, good day to you. I am Lord Dermod Ophal, and this is my wife, Lady Shareen. We, we have, we. Hmmm. (What do you think, my dear?) |
| 15051 (I think the skin tone is wrong for a Calishite.) |
| 15052 (Indeed. Cormyrian, perhaps?) |
| 15053 (Nonsense, not nearly enough class.) |
| 15054 (Waterdeep, perchance?) |
| 15055 (Not nearly civilized enough to be from Waterdeep, darling. Now you're just being silly.) |
| 15056 (Well you don't think they're Amnian, do you, sweet?) |
| 15057 (Certainly not. They don't look half so wealthy as to be Amnian.) |
| 15058 (Well then, why am I speaking to them?) |
| 15059 (Agreed. Shhh! They'll hear us!) |
| 15060 Excuse us, but we've decided to snub you. |
| 15061 Yes, we have. Good business then, and good day. |
| 15062 Excuse us, but we've decided to snub you. |

My aunt Minnie finally had her baby, cutest little thing. About time, too. We were about to offer it a scholarship; it had been in there so long.

| 15172 I be comin' here for th' little friendship I can gets in the back, when I cans afford it, that is. |
| 15173 Ah... er... pardon me for a moment whilst my head implodes. |
| 15174 Me wife is such a harpy, she is. This be the only place I can come to be away from the woman. |

| 15177 The brats keep whinin' for the circus, an' the wife keeps whinin' for coin. Me, I avoids 'em both. Let the brats get a job, and the wife can go to th' bleedin' circus, for all I care. |

| 15191 OHH! |

| 15196 My name is <GABBER>. Who might you be? |
| 15197 I lost my spell. Sorry. |
| 15198 That's because I haven't been in the Copper Coronet for very long. That doesn't mean we can't be friends, though, does it? |
| 15200 W-we w... we will continue this another day! |
| 15201 Verily... heh... I am pleased at the progress that this ill-conceived group has made. I had not thought such a thing possible. |
| 15202 And I don't recognize you. What of it? |
| 15203 Hmph! I am barely convinced that honor even holds a place of importance here. I shall see and judge for myself. |
| 15204 I'll not associate with one who smells like he slipped into a vat of spirits. Excuse me. |
| 15205 Truly, your actions lack virtue! Change your ways quickly or suffer my wrath! |
| 15206 Enough! I can take no more of this company! From here on, we are as enemies! |
| 15207 Now, you have obviously given considerable thought to the future of this group. I accept the chargeâ€â€gladly! |
| 15208 Oy, my apologeesh, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. I'm told itsh been a hard day, and I shpose I'm glad I can't 'member a none o' it. |

| 15224 Aye, 'tis good to adventure in such a place! The blood quickens knowing that evil is so near! |

| 15367 Perhaps I will come back when you're in a better mood. |
| 15368 Don't count on it. |
| 15369 What does it look like? I'm a priest of Lathander, and this 'ere's a devotion to the bloody dawn rabbits. Are you simple or something? Get out of my face. |
| 15370 I'm Surly, and I manage the pit. No one else. Now beat it 'fore I kick your arse outta here. |
| 15371 Fine, fine. So are you going to sponsor a match or what? Cough it up, half-wise. |
| 15372 Well, you're obviously joking. Tell me who you are, then. |
| 15373 Excuse me, you have no call to be so rude. I'm only asking a simple question. |
| 15374 I'm not simple. And you are about half a second away from a well-deserved skewering, you arrogant troll. |
| 15375 Fine, I'm going. |
| 15376 Well, don't wait for Surly to burst into tears or nothin'. Hmph. |
| 15377 That's because you're brain-addled. Surly isn't here to be pestered. Take a hike. |
| 15378 The pit? You mean that this is some sort of fighting contest? This can't be legal. |
| 15379 I grow weary of your tongue, Surly. I am only trying to be polite here. |
| 15380 Listen, you greasy warthog. Keep on addressing me in that tone and I'll have your tongue. |
| 15381 Never mind, I'm leaving. |
| 15382 You fight, it's in the pit. Or gamble on a match. Buy a dog, it fights one o' mine. If yours wins, double yer coin. If it loses, I get yer bet. That's a match, see? |
| 15383 Errrr, sponsor a match? What are you talking about? |
| 15384 How much is it, and what's involved? |
| 15385 Certainly. Take what you need. |
| 15386 No, I'm not going to sponsor anything. I'm looking for answers. |
| 15387 I'm not interested. Goodbye. |
| 15388 Listen here, pal. I've got better things to do than breathe yer air. Take a hike, will ya? |
| 15389 It's 10 gold. You gets a dog. Yours fights one o' mine. You win, ye double yer money. You lose, you lose yer money. Now, cough it up or get lost. |
| 15390 I truly hope you will be able to. The beastmaster has the key to our cells... he stays in the pit, in an area across from this hall. With the key, we can escape! |

| 15394 All right, here you go. This had better be good. |
| 15395 I'm not interested in sponsoring anything. I'm looking for answers. |
| 15396 Never mind. Another time, perhaps. |
| 15397 Bah! Are you back again? What do you want now? |
| 15398 I want to know who you are and what this place is. |
| 15399 Don't be short with me, you ill-mannered bugbear. |
| 15400 I want to sponsor a match. How much is it again? |
| 15401 *yawn*... I'm... I live to see the Earthmother's dawn once more? Then... then you have succeeded. Excellent. And Ployer? What of him? |
| 15402 Never mind. |
| 15403 He will not bother you further, of that I am certain. Let's go. |
| 15404 He is not important. I am glad you are well. |
| 15405 Enough of that, we've things to do and I've no more time to waste on this. Let's go. |
| 15406 Dead and gone. |
| 15407 Indeed. I am glad to be rid of his foul curse. Odd bit of magic that. Onward then. I am fit for travel. |
| 15408 I have you to thank, I assume. Of course I do. You have proven quite the friend. Shall we... continue our adventures? I believe I am fit for travel. |
| 15409 I am sorry to have caused you all this trouble. I shall just have them kill me outright in the future. Do not say a word. Let us go. |
| 15410 Good riddance. I should have done such years ago when I discovered him and his network. Harper justice for the wicked. Shall we go? I am fit for travel. |
| 15411 I can't wait for another fight to begin! I hope this one is particularly bloody! |
| 15412 Do you have any bets laid? I've heard that Hendak is particularly good. |

| 15421 Good. We shall leave immediately. |
| 15422 Let's get moving then. I have already wasted enough time. |
| 15423 It might be better if you waited here for a time. You still seem a little weak. |
| 15424 Let's go then. There is much left to see. |
| 15425 Fine, fine, we have much lost time to make up for. |
| 15426 It might be best if you waited here for a time. You still look a bit on the weak side. |
| 15427 I say! Shouldn't you be down there with the gladiators? |
| 15428 Hmph. You're one of the fighters, aren't you? Well, I think I'll place my money on Hendak. He's got a good reputation, at least. |
| 15429 Oh, my! A knight? Are you entering the fights? I'll be sure to bet on you! |
| 15430 I'll not take part in such base sport. Nor do I approve of your wagering. |
| 15431 world |
| 15432 Congratulations, <CHARNAME>, Kalah is most amused by your progress. You may yet live as long as you continue to provide such entertainment. Are you ready to proceed? |
| 15433 Hoy there! Are you going to enter the fights? I hear they can get exceptionally barbaric! |
| 15434 *sigh* Sometimes, I think it almost would have been better if I'd stayed in the wilderness. |
| 15435 What is going on here? Who is Kalah? |
| 15436 I am ready to proceed. |
| 15437 Oh, ye is far too smart for me, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. I ha' nae wee ones. But me drunkard husband will beat me blue an' black if I return with nae a coin or two! |
| 15438 Fool! Your process of discovery is part of the fun! As to Kalah, he is the lord of this domain. 'Ere long he shall be your lord. Are you ready to proceed? |
| 15439 Hah! These fights are jolly good, aye? Takes your mind off the council's taxes and all, they do! |
| 15440 Proceed to where? |
| 15441 I am ready. |
| 15442 I hope there isn't another raid. Lehtinan takes care of everything, naturally, but it is such a bother! |
| 15443 I see. Very well then, here is a gold coin for you. |
| 15444 Do not toy with me, djinni! I will kill you! |
| 15445 Proceed to where? |
| 15446 There was a raid almost two weeks ago. Lehtinan paid off the garrison, naturally, but my wife almost found out what I was up to. Nasty business, that. |
| 15447 You do show some courage. Go then! |
| 15448 Take what time you need. It shall be worth the wait to see the look on your face when Kalah is done toying with you. |
| 15449 I shall take you to the next part of our little game. Are you ready to go? |
| 15450 I am ready. |
| 15451 I can afford nothing for you, I am afraid. |
| 15452 I wonder if Hendak is going to be fighting today? The slaves have been of such poor quality until they found him, certainly. |
| 15453 If you refuse to give me a straight answer, then you must answer to Kelemvor! |
| 15454 Don't bother me, commoner. I'm here to see Hendak. I hear he's a brute! |
| 15455 I have offered you a chance to rest and prepare. None shall wonder why this chance has now been removed from you. The game will continue now... |
| 15456 I say, get me a chilled glass, servant. I grow rather warm in here. |
| 15457 Are you prepared to continue to Kalah's domain? |
| 15458 Hmmm, are you going to be fighting, Rashemaar? You certainly seem barbaric enough. |
| 15459 I am. |
| 15460 That's not my problem. Begone. |
| 15461 I am not impressed by fighting slaves. But I would CRUSH any true opponent who dared to face me! |
| 15462 What is going on here? Who is Kalah? |
| 15463 Ah, you're an entertainer, are you not? Are you here to provide music for the fights? |
| 15464 I am not, sire. Rather, I am here to witness the depravity and baselessness of your society as it inevitably leads itself to decay and destruction. Please... do continue. |
| 15465 Ruby Ray of Reversal |
| 15466 If I may have your attention once again, gentlefolk of Athkatla! Lehtinan is proud to provide for your amusement once again! Bring your attention to the pit as we see two combatants fighting for their very lives! |
| 15467 Frost |
| 15468 I trust all bets have been placed. Very well! BEGIN! |
| 15469 Aha! I see a wayfarer has come to amuse Kalah! You must answer a riddle, naturally, ere I will allow you to pass this bridge. Are you ready to hear it? |
| 15470 And why would I want to pass over this bridge? |
| 15471 I'd prefer to know who this Kalah is before I play any of your games. |
| 15472 Very well, I am ready. |
| 15473 No, I haven't seen a soul. |
| 15474 I'll answer none of your riddles! Stand aside! |
| 15475 Because it is symbolic of your progression to enlightenment and understanding, fool. Are you ready to proceed? |
| 15476 Kalah does not reveal himself to those who are not worthy. Are you ready to begin? |
| 15477 Excellent! A princess is as old as the prince will be when the princess is twice as old as the prince was when the princess's age was half the sum of their present age. Which of the following, then, could be true? |
| 15478 It is good to be back in the company of friends, is it not, <CHARNAME>? I did miss being able to partake in the camaraderie. |
| 15479 Very well, then. We have forever to wait, and I am eternal. Take as much time as you feel you need, mortal. |
| 15480 Ha ha ha! You amuse me, little mortal. Bluster as you wish. I shall not allow you to pass until you have solved my puzzle. |
| 15481 I'd prefer to know who this Kalah is before I play any of your games. |
| 15482 Very well, I am ready. |
| 15483 Yes, actually, I just saw them down the street. |
| 15484 I'll answer none of your riddles! Stand aside! |
| 15485 I am ready and willing, and I thank you for not indulging my illness. Weak I may have been, but I'll not have anyone coddle me. |
| 15486 Before I begin, tell me why would I want to pass over this bridge. |
| 15487 Very well, I am ready. |
| 15488 Yes, I saw them. And I killed them for being the obvious slavers that they were. |
| 15489 I'll answer none of your riddles! Stand aside! |
| 15490 The prince is 20 and the princess is 30. |
| 15491 The prince is 40 and the princess is 30. |
| 15492 The prince is 30 and the princess is 40. |
| 15493 That might be best, though I shall not impose upon my druidic brethren further. I shall wait at the Harper base within Athkatla. Yes, that would be best. |
| 15494 The prince is 30 and the princess is 20. |
| 15495 They are both the same age. |
| 15496 I surely don't know. |
| 15497 Wrong! Ha ha! The prince, I am afraid, is 30 years old. The princess is most assuredly 40. Being a benevolent sort, I shall give you one more riddle! |
| 15498 Ah, you are correct. The mighty Kalah respects those with a most agile and quick mind. Proceed across with my blessing. |
| 15499 You will get nowhere, my friend, if you do not make an attempt. Being as benevolent as the mighty Kalah, however, I will allow you another opportunity. |
| 15500 Here it is then, my friend: The poorest have it, the richest need it, but if either were to eat it, they would certainly perish. Tell me what it is! |
| 15501 Food. |
| 15502 Wealth. |
| 15503 Love. |
| 15504 Hope. |
| 15505 Everything. |
| 15506 Nothing. |
| 15507 I do not know. |
| 15508 There you are! Iâ€â€I missed you while I was gone. Iâ€â€I mean... well, I am glad to see you. I must tell you, however, that we must go to the Harper Hold in Athkatla. |
| 15509 Again wrong! Ha ha! The answer is "nothing"! If you eat nothing, you will certainly perish! Kalah holds no respect for the imbecilic, so now YOU will perish! |
| 15510 Fool! Can you not even guess? The answer is "nothing"! If you eat nothing, you will perish, naturally. And perish you shall, because Kalah suffers no fools! |
| 15511 Ah, returned, have you? You are prepared to answer a riddle, then? |
| 15512 Yes, I am ready. |
| 15513 No, not yet. |
| 15514 I'll answer none of your riddles! Away with you and let me pass! |
| 15515 Too bad! Kalah does not suffer fools gladly. You shall answer whether you are ready to or not. You understand, yes? |
| 15516 Ha ha! Again you amuse me, little mortal. Oh, surely is Kalah most pleased by this. Regardless, you shall answer my riddle... You understand, yes? |

| 15518 Corgeig Axehand |
| 15519 Good business to you! I have not seen you ere today. Have I the fortune of meeting a stranger to the City of Coin? |
| 15520 Yes, I am new to Athkatla. My name is <GABBER>, pleased to meet you. |
| 15521 I am new, yes, but my business is my own. |
| 15522 No, I have been in the city for some time, actually. |
| 15523 Never mind, I'll be on my way. |
| 15524 'Tis red ink for me, then, to have lost a customer. Good business to you, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 15525 I am Mira, proprietor of this stall and its wares. You've been delivered by pearl to me, I think. Have a look at my stock and ask me whatever you wish. |
| 15526 No need to sell me on your need for privacy, good <LADYLORD>. I am Mira, proprietor of this stall and its wares. Look at the goods and ask whatever you wish. |
| 15527 Thrown |
| 15528 Ah! I thought I knew all who passed through Waukeen's Promenade. I am Mira. Look over my wares and ask me whatever you like. |

| 15541 I'm looking for special equipment, perhaps something potent and magical. Do you have something like that? |
| 15542 I'm not interested. Please excuse me. |
| 15543 But of course! You'll find that Mira is no kobold when it comes to quality and affordability! |
| 15544 You are an adventurer, my <LADYLORD>, no? You might find others of your ilk at the Copper Coronet in the slums. |
| 15545 The wizards? Ach, 'tis red ink to even discuss them. Magic is foreclosed here in Amn, and I know little of the wizards and their kind. |
| 15546 The Shadow Thieves? I know little, <LADYLORD>, and consider myself up a pearl for the lack. All the crime in the city can be attributed to them. |

| 15693 The hunt for Valygar is over I tried to tell the Cowled Wizard Tolgerias where Valygar could be found, but the wizard obviously had expected me to bring his body only. He has stormed off to look into the matter, refusing to reward me... I suspect I shall face repercussions from the Cowled Wizards as well. I doubt I shall see Valygar again. |
| 15695 Scroll |
| 15696 Helping Tiris in Trademeet I went back to tell Tiris the good news... that Rejiek was dead and Raissa now safe. Apparently, however, Raissa had already returned and left with Tiris. Tiris's parents report that Raissa was acting "strange," and somehow knew that Tiris was not coming back. Perhaps Raissa was the skin dancer after all... I had no way of knowing. If I see them again, however... I'll know better. |
| 15697 Nasha |
| 15698 Getting inside the asylum The courtesans are located in a guild house on the west side of Brynnlaw... where the courtesans take their customers and where Claire is also likely to be held. |
| 15701 Leaving the island After I stole the horn to open up the sea gates and a brief battle with Desharik's men, we have taken to the open sea. I dislike being used in this fashion, although Saemon did reward me with the sword that he said he would. It is a beautiful silver and valuable-looking. I do not understand why he was so put off by it. Regardless, it will serve me well. Now hopefully there are no more surprises awaiting me on the sea. |
| 15702 Dead Halfling Messenger |
| 15703 Getting inside the asylum The barkeep intimated that Sanik might have told what he knew to the woman he intended to take from Galvena's and marry, Claire... although she likely remains within Lady Galvena's clutches. I would have to find her to ask any questions of her, no doubt. |
| 15705 Investigate activities in the Copper Coronet's rooms Lehtinan, the innkeeper at the Copper Coronet, has hired me to kill Hendak, who tried to get my help to escape. He gave me a key to open up Hendak's cell. I am to return once the deed is done. |
| 15706 Running the Five Flagons playhouse As well as the play has done, however, I am not one to continue running it. The life of an adventurer means I never know where I will turn up next... or if I will even be alive. So I sold the playhouse to Higgold for 10,000 gp... he will do far better with the place than I could. |
| 15710 The final battle with Bodhi I have finally encountered Bodhi within her lair! I must be careful to use every advantage I have at my disposal, including the holy water that Elhan gave me. I doubt it will do much to her personally... but perhaps there is some way to pollute the power she draws from this place, use the holy water to dim the blood she draws... And if I survive, I will have many questions for Elhan. He knows more than he has said about Irenicus and Bodhi. |
| 15713 Finding Irenicus in Hell The demon's sword, "Blackrazor," was obviously the key which allowed me to free the genie from its enslavement here in Hell. I surrendered the item to the creature so that it might be free, and the genie was quite grateful. I doubt I have any need of such a sword anyway. |
| 15714 The hunt for Valygar is over I have informed Tolgerias, a Cowled Wizard, of the location of Valygar here in the city. Despite the fact that I did not bring them the ranger's body, it was good enough for the wizard, and I received my reward. He left immediately... likely to capture the ranger and use him for whatever purposes he had intended. |
| 15715 Getting inside the asylum I found where the "Pirate King," Desharik, is... and managed to get by the guard by mentioning Saemon Havarian's name. Saemon mentioned not being popular in these parts... I hope this isn't a mistake. |
| 15718 Getting inside the palace in Suldanessellar Now that the guardians have been summoned, Demin has left to aid the wounded in the city. She told me before she left that Irenicus plans to do something to the Tree of Life... and that only Ellesime may have the power to stop him. I will need to find the Stone Harp and Horn to get through the palace. |
| 15719 Escaping the asylum I have encountered some kind of arbiter in the asylum maze. I was free to continue after passing his judgment... perhaps out of this madhouse, once and for all? |
| 15720 Escaping the asylum Bodhi showed up before I could leave the dungeon, obviously watching me the whole time. During the battle, however, the pains I have been feeling inside welled to the surface and I became... something else. A monster? Bhaal incarnate? I don't know. Bodhi fled to inform Irenicus, and we are free to continue on, but I do not know if this... this power will overtake me again. |
| 15721 Idle hands in Imnesvale Well, I finally encountered the three kids from Imnesvale I gave the swords to. They just about got themselves killed at the hands of a shadow creature. Hopefully the scare will dissuade them from such foolishness for a while yet, but I doubt it... |
| 15722 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills I reached Imnesvale in the Umar Hills and witnessed a gathering of panicky folk being addressed by the mayor. Apparently, there have been killings that no one knows the cause of. A band of adventurers was sent out previously, but they have not returned. The mayor tried to get everyone to calm down and return to their homes, before returning to his own just northeast of the village square. |
| 15723 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills I have encountered Madulf and his band. They have had their own string of deaths, and Madulf is almost as worried as the villagers are. He doesn't seem to present a threat, and even wanted me to arrange a peace between the village and his band... which, of course, I'm not going to do. He is still an ogre and cannot be trusted, but it is unlikely that his group is causing the deaths. Perhaps I should tell the mayor this. |
| 15724 Firkraag himself I have encountered the true Firkraag, a gigantic red dragon. He has tormented me due to a past grudge with Gorion as well as some faint interest in my status as a child of Bhaal. Either way, his interest in me is finished, and he has sent one of his servants to be the only barrier between myself and Garren's child. So he will not attack me, but I am sure our dealings are not done yet. |
| 15725 Inside the drow city I have met Phaere, the daughter of the matron mother, at the tavern as commanded. It seems her mother is very interested in me, and we are to perform another task. After Phaere leaves, Solaufein and I are to meet her within a few days at the city entrance to receive further instructions. Until then, my time is my own. |
| 15726 I'm looking for special equipment, perhaps something potent and magical. Do you have something like that? |
| 15727 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills It is done. The Shade Lord is dead, and his altar has been destroyed. Already one can feel the darkness being lifted from this place. |
| 15731 Helping Tiris in Trademeet I spoke to Tiris and found out something startling... Rejiek, the murderer from the Bridge District in Athkatla whom I drove off, is now in Trademeet and apparently working with a strange, skinless creature. Tiris and his girlfriend, Raissa, were kidnapped and brought to the woods by the southwest gate, where Tiris was just barely able to escape. He begs that I find Raissa, and suggests that I look in the woods for any clues. |
| 15735 Valygar's family quest is over Valygar's quest is finally done. Lavok was not what he expected, and has caused the normally judgmental ranger to think deeply about what he has experienced. With the necromancer dead and the Cowled Wizards no longer hunting him, Valygar has asked to continue traveling with me. I have accepted him back into the group. |
| 15739 Valygar's family quest is over Valygar's quest is finally done. Lavok was not what he expected, and has caused the normally judgmental ranger to think deeply about what he has experienced. With the necromancer dead and the Cowled Wizards no longer hunting him, Valygar has asked to continue traveling with me. I have declined, and the ranger told me that he could be found at his home in the Docks District should I have need of him in the future. |
| 15743 Idle hands in Imnesvale Well, I bought the three kids in Imnesvale what I promised them, and they've run off to enjoy it. Hopefully, they don't get into too much trouble... and here's to hoping their parents don't get wind of this. |
| 15745 Inside the drow city I have convinced Solaufein to return to the city, leaving me to deal with the svirfneblin on my own. I am to go to the tavern in Ust Natha to meet Phaere after I am done, bringing with me the gnome patrol leader's helmet as proof of the deed. |
| 15746 Inside the drow city Now that the beholder is dead, Phaere and Solaufein have gone to report to the matron mothers. Phaere has commanded me to meet with her again in the tavern within three days. |
| 15747 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Higgold was very disappointed with the fact that I wouldn't assume Zaren's role in the play. It meant that the opening night couldn't go as planned and also angered the councilor... which was embarrassing enough that the play couldn't be done at all anymore. The actors have all accepted positions with another caravan that is leaving town, and Higgold gave me some coin from Samuel Thunderburp... the halfling plans to turn the playhouse back into a cellar. Everyone left, dejected. I suppose, overall, it is just as well. |
| 15748 Getting inside the palace in Suldanessellar One of the local elves told me that he saw High Priestess Demin battling creatures in the southwestern portion of the city. Perhaps she has retreated into one of the buildings there. |
| 15749 I'm not interested. Please excuse me. |
| 15750 Thank you for the information. Might I see what you have in stock now? |
| 15751 Inside the asylum Lonk the Sane seemed surprised by the fact that I knew of Irenicus. He told me that "he sees everybody." It doesn't sound like Irenicus is an inmate. |
| 15752 Inside the asylum I finally found Imoen, but she has changed somehow. If she wasn't troubled before she came here, she certainly is now. What has happened to her?! And where is Irenicus in all of this?! |
| 15753 Do you know anything of the Cowled Wizards? |
| 15754 Can you perhaps tell me something of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 15755 I'm looking for special equipment, perhaps something potent and magical. Do you have something like that? |
| 15756 I think I'll be on my way now. |
| 15757 Nashkel. |

| 15760 Getting inside the asylum Captain Golin told me that I could get inside Spellhold by convincing a pirate named Desharik that I was insane... he could send me within Spellhold as a patient if he cared to do so. Desharik can be found on the far west of the island... if I go there, Golin said to tell the doorman that he sent me. |
| 15763 Thank you for the information. Might I see what you have in stock now? |
| 15764 Perhaps you might tell me where I could find an inn, a place where information can easily be obtained. |
| 15765 Can you perhaps tell me something of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 15766 I'm looking for special equipment, perhaps something potent and magical. Do you have something like that? |
| 15767 I think I'll be on my way now. |
| 15768 Thank you for the information. Might I see what you have in stock now? |
| 15769 Perhaps you might tell me where I could find an inn, a place where information can easily be obtained. |
| 15770 Do you know anything of the Cowled Wizards? |
| 15771 I'm looking for special equipment, perhaps something potent and magical. Do you have something like that? |
| 15773 I think I'll be on my way now. |
| 15774 Well, let me take a look at what you have in stock, then. |
| 15778 Perhaps you might tell me where I could find an inn, a place where information can easily be obtained. |
| 15779 Anomen returns home after his sister's death Lord Cor, Anomen's father, has demanded revenge on his daughter's supposed murderer, a merchant named Saerk. I would not help, so Anomen angrily sent me away. I doubt our relationship can be repaired. |
| 15781 Do you know anything of the Cowled Wizards? |
| 15782 Can you perhaps tell me something of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 15783 Getting inside the asylum We have arrived on the island safely, and Bodhi has informed me that Saemon will be aiding as a guide of sorts, bringing me to someone who will help me get inside the asylum. As for Bodhi herself, she has left and said she will meet up with me afterwards. |
| 15784 Drizzt Do'Urden joins the fight I encountered the famed ranger, Drizzt Do'Urden, and several of his companions on the way back from the Forest of Tethir. I managed to get him to agree to join in my fight against Bodhi. He will meet me in the catacombs beneath the Graveyard District when I am ready to face the vampire. |
| 15787 Inside the drow city I have been assigned the task of rescuing a matron mother's daughter from the illithids that have captured her. I am to meet Solaufein near the entrance to the illithid city, in the southeast portion of the main cavern area, where he will draw the illithids from their astral travel. I should delay as little as possible. |
| 15792 The drow summoning ritual Matron Ardulace has sent me to get the blood of one of the elder races that inhabit the Underdark with the drow. I either need to go to the beholder tunnels in the southeast and kill an elder orb, go to the illithid city in the southeast and kill an elder brain, or go to the kuo-toan ruins in the west and kill a kuo-toan prince. Once I have the blood, I am to return to Ardulace forthwith. |
| 15793 The drow summoning ritual I have returned with the blood, and Matron Ardulace was very pleased. She mentioned that she is about to start a ritual... and before doing so, she is going to seal the city. I suppose that means that nobody can enter or leave. She also mentioned the "silver one" being barred from entry... obviously she knows something of the silver dragon's eggs. Matron Ardulace told me to relax, but Phaere ordered me to meet her within her apartments within an hour. Obviously, she has something else in mind. |
| 15794 Getting inside the asylum Saemon Havarian brought us to the island safely enough, but after we disembarked, we were ambushed by vampires. Saemon seemed regretful for the necessity, but it was despicable nevertheless. |
| 15796 I think I'll be on my way now. |
| 15797 Recover the silver dragon's eggs I have finally encountered Adalon, a female silver dragon who is desperate to have her eggs returned. She normally guards the path to the surface from drow incursion, but Irenicus and Bodhi have stolen her eggs and given them to the drow... and she can do nothing for fear of her eggs being destroyed. She has turned me into the likeness of a drow, with the name "Veldrin," and bade me to enter the nearby city of Ust Natha in search of her eggs. Once her eggs are returned safely, she will show me to the surface and reward me with an item from her hoard. |
| 15798 Why, good business once again! Mira always remembers a face. What can I do for you today, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 15799 Perhaps you might tell me where I could find an inn, a place where information can easily be obtained? |
| 15801 Getting inside the asylum The courtesan is willing to help me get inside if I promise to kill Lady Galvena and free all of the courtesans that the woman holds here against their will. |
| 15802 I would like to see your wares, if I could. |
| 15803 Helping Tiris in Trademeet I went to the place Tiris described, but met only a man named Darsidian Moor who claimed to be hunting the skinless creature who is with Rejiek. He calls it a "skin dancer" and believes the creature to be at a walled-off area of the town just north of the east gate, in an orange pavilion... and has left to confront it. He asks that I meet him there as soon as possible. |
| 15804 Do you know anything of the Cowled Wizards? |
| 15805 Helping Tiris in Trademeet The man I met at the woods, Darsidian Moor, inferred that the skinless creature may have captured Raissa to remove her skin and create another like himself... else it would have consumed her flesh on the spot. What the creature's connection to Rejiek might be, I have no idea. |
| 15806 Can you perhaps tell me something of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 15807 I'm looking for special equipment, perhaps something potent and magical. Do you have something like that? |
| 15808 Nothing, actually. I'll be on my way. |
| 15809 The prophecy of Sekolah I have defeated the king's monster, and he has ordered the opposing priestess sacrificed to Sekolah. I am now the "chosen one," and the king intends to have me kill the leader of a group of rebels outside of the city and return with his heart... for which he will reward me with great riches. I am to see High Priestess Senityili in her temple to get more information on how to reach the rebel encampment. Until then, I have the run of the city. |

| 15862 Well, ye won't being finding Arnolinus bawling like a human brat at yer loss, now. |
| 15863 From the iron ingots, the coals, and the anvil, Arnolinus might be saying this here be an armory. But Arnolinus could be wrong, since he nae be as smart as ye. |
| 15864 What kind of name is Arnolinus? |
| 15865 Ar, why ye nae be saying so when ye first coming?! Everyone always being wasting Arnolinus's time! |
| 15866 Arnolinus be a fine dwarven name. If ye being taking issue with that, mayhap ye nae be buying me armor. Arnolinus nae being needing to sell it to ye. |
| 15867 Very cute. Show me what armor you have available, then. |
| 15868 Well, that's true. I can't say I've ever seen a more ignorant dwarf. You may as well show me what you have in stock. |
| 15869 I see. Well, I'm not interested in anything. |
| 15870 Arnolinus will nae being taking insult from you, <PRO_RACE>! Begone, and being you, nae coming again! |
| 15871 I'm always interested in good quality armor. Let me see what you have. |
| 15872 Well, not only are you oddly named, but you're a poor merchant as well. Let's see what you have in stock anyway. |

| 15882 You wanted to be an adventurer for as long as you can remember. Even as a small child, you knew there was a vast world beyond the simple life you witnessed around you every day. Traveling bards fanned the flames of your determination to escape your mundane existence with tales of dragons and monsters, wizards and knights, legendary heroes and infamous villains. And you knew then that one day your deeds... your name... would be known throughout the realms. |
| 15897 RACIAL ENEMY |
| 15899 I was wrong in insulting you, Arnolinus. Please accept my most humble apology. |
| 15900 Come, come. Don't hold a grudge with me; I meant nothing. I really would like to see your stock of armor. |
| 15901 Fine, you dwarven lout. I've no need to deal with you either. |
| 15902 Bah! Again! Ye being adding insult to insult! Arnolinus is being outraged! |
| 15903 Tavern Drunk |

| 15988 Carrion Crawler The carrion crawler is a scavenger of subterranean areas, feeding primarily upon carrion. However, when such food becomes scarce or when it is threatened, it will attack and kill living creatures. The carrion crawler looks like a cross between a giant green cutworm and a cephalopod. Like so many other hybrid monsters, the carrion crawler may well be the result of genetic experimentation by a mad, evil wizard. The monster's head is covered with a tough hide, but the body is not well protected. The monster is accompanied by a rank, fetid odor which often gives warning of its approach. |
| 15989 It saddens Maheer to see such a fine and clever <PRO_LADYLORD> such as yourself to depart. Until next time then, casadhi. |
| 15990 Ettercap Ettercaps are ugly bipedal creatures that get along very well with all types of giant spiders. These creatures of low intelligence are exceedingly cruel, very cunning, and are skilled in setting trapsâ€â€very deadly trapsâ€â€much like the spiders that often live around them. Ettercaps stand around six feet tall, even with their stooping gait and hunched shoulders. The creatures have short, spindly legs, long arms that reach nearly to their ankles, and large pot-bellies. The hands of ettercaps have a thumb and three long fingers that end in razor sharp claws. Their bodies are covered by tufts of thick, wiry, black hair, and their skin is dark and thick. Ettercaps' heads are almost equine in shape, but they have large reptilian eyes, usually blood-red in color, and large fangs, one protruding downward from each side of the mouth. The mouth itself is large and lined with very sharp teeth. Ettercaps do not have a formal language. They express themselves through a combination of high-pitched chittering noises, shrieks and violent actions. |
| 15991 Ghoul Ghouls are undead creatures, once human, who now feed on the flesh of corpses. Although the change from human to ghoul has deranged and destroyed their minds, ghouls have a terrible cunning which enables them to hunt their prey most effectively. Ghouls are vaguely recognizable as once having been human, but have become horribly disfigured by their change to ghouls. The tongue becomes long and tough for licking marrow from cracked bones, the teeth become sharp and elongated, and the nails grow strong and sharp like claws. |
| 15992 'Allo! You are lookink vor somezing, ja? Do you be needink assistance, ja? Enge can beink helpink you. |
| 15993 Excuse me? What was that? |
| 15994 Gibberling They come screaming, jabbering, and howling out of the night. Dozens, maybe hundreds, of hunchbacked, naked humanoids swarm unceasingly forward. They have no thought of safety, subtlety, or strategy, leaving others with no hope of stopping their mass assault. Then, having come and killed, the gibberlings move on, seemingly randomly, back into the night. The first impression of gibberlings is of a writhing mass of fur and flesh in the distant moonlit darkness. The pandemonium is actually a mass of pale, hunchbacked humanoids, with pointed canine ears and black manes surrounding their hideous, grinning faces. Their black eyes shine with a maniacal gleam. |
| 15995 Gnoll Gnolls are large, evil, hyena-like humanoids that roam about in loosely organized bands. While the body of a gnoll is shaped like that of a large human, the details are those of a hyena. They stand erect on two legs and have hands that can manipulate as well as those of any human. They have greenish gray skin, darker near the muzzle, with a short reddish gray to dull yellow mane. |
| 15996 Hobgoblin Hobgoblins are a fierce humanoid race that wage perpetual war with the other humanoid races. They are intelligent, organized, and aggressive. The typical hobgoblin is a burly humanoid standing at least six feet tall. Their hairy hides range from dark reddish-brown to dark gray. Their faces show dark red or red-orange skin. Large males have blue or red noses. Hobgoblin eyes are either yellowish or dark brown while their teeth are yellow. Their garments tend to be brightly colored, often bold, blood red. Any leather is always tinted black. Hobgoblin weaponry is kept polished and repaired. Hobgoblins have their own language and often speak with orcs, goblins, and carnivorous apes. |
| 15997 Kobold Kobolds are a cowardly, sadistic race of short humanoids that vigorously contest the human and demihuman races for living space and food. They especially dislike gnomes and attack them on sight. Barely clearing three feet in height, kobolds have scaly hides that range from dark, rusty brown to a rusty black. They smell of damp dogs and stagnant water. Their eyes glow like a pair of bright red sparks, and they have two small horns ranging from tan to white. Because of the kobold fondness for wearing raggedy garb of red and orange, their non-prehensile rat-like tails, and their language (which sounds like small dogs yapping), these fell creatures are often not taken seriously. This is often a fatal mistake, for what they lack in size and strength they make up in ferocity and tenacity. |
| 15998 Ogre Ogres are big, ugly, greedy humanoids that live by ambushes, raids, and theft. Ill-tempered and nasty, these monsters are often found serving as mercenaries in the ranks of orc tribes, evil clerics, or gnolls. They mingle freely with giants and trolls. Adult ogres stand nine to ten feet tall and weigh 300 to 350 pounds. Their skin colors range from a dead yellow to a dull black-brown, and (rarely) a sickly violet. Their warty bumps are often of a different colorâ€â€or at least darker than their hides. Their eyes are purple with white pupils. Teeth and talons are orange or black. Ogres have long, greasy hair of blackish blue to dull dark green. Their odor is repellent, reminiscent of curdled milk. Dressing in poorly cured furs and animal hides, they care for their weapons and armor only reasonably well. It is common for ogres to speak orc, troll, stone giant, and gnoll, as well as their own guttural language. A typical ogre's life span is 90 years. |
| 15999 Skeleton All skeletons are magically animated undead monsters, created as guardians or warriors by powerful evil wizards and priests. Skeletons appear to have no ligaments or musculature which would allow movement. Instead, the bones are magically joined together during the casting of an Animate Dead spell. Skeletons have no eyes or internal organs. Skeletons can be made from the bones of humans and demihumans, animals of human size or smaller, or giant humanoids like bugbears and giants. |
| 16000 Giant Spider Spiders are aggressive predators, dwelling both above and below ground. Most are poisonous and bite prey before devouring them because unconscious victims are easier to carry to a lair. Spiders have eight legs and eight eyes. They usually fit into two categories: web-spinners, which have bulbous abdomens and thin, sleek legs; and hunting spiders, which have smaller bodies, larger heads and fangs, and hairy bodies and legs. Most giant spiders are simply much bigger versions of the web-spinning large spiders. |

| 16002 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded The servant, Daleson, did have one piece of information that may be useful. The leader of the trolls keeps a pack of strange animals that eat dog stew, and when they get fed nothing stands between them and their food. Apparently, Daleson had to sneak into their cell, down the hall where they first broke in, to place the food there and they abandoned their posts and almost killed him to get at it. |
| 16003 Errr... all right. Show me what you have in stock. |

| 16007 Lavok is dead, the sphere returned The sphere has returned to Athkatla and our home plane, but not trusting the wizard Lavok, I have let him die inside the sphere rather than allow him to be brought outside where he might harm others. The necromancer died with little comment. |
| 16008 Ah, gut! Ve be havingk much fruit, yes? But you no be wantingk fruit, I be sure! I show you vat else I be havingk! Come! I show! |
| 16009 Very well, show me everythink... er, I mean, show me what you have. |
| 16010 No thanks, I'll be on my way. |
| 16011 'Allo, you again! Enge is wavink 'allo! You be wantink to see everythink, ja? |
| 16012 Yes, show me what you have. |
| 16013 No, I'm not interested. |
| 16014 Greetings to thee, fair customer. Perter bids thee welcome to his shop and good fortune upon thy negotiations. |
| 16015 What do you sell here? |
| 16016 Let me see what you have in stock. |
| 16017 I'm actually not interested in anything. Good day. |
| 16018 Ah, 'tis a most dismal misfortune. Until next time, Perter bids thee farewell. |
| 16020 I am renowned for my quality fletching, and as a fair bowyer as well. Dost thou care to peruse my inventory of fine missile weapons? |
| 16021 Excellent! Perter bids thee to take careful notice of his selection of finely fletched arrows on the far wall. Come, I will take thee through them. |
| 16022 Certainly. Let me see what you have. |
| 16023 Druid Polymorph |
| 16025 This is not a spell, but rather a druid's innate ability. It enables the druid to polymorph into a bear. |

| 16027 No, I'm not interested. |
| 16028 Nalia's father's funeral At the funeral, Nalia ran into the son of Lord Roenall, Isaea, who seems determined that Nalia live up to the betrothal that her father made for her... and quite angry at her continued refusal. There is more to his demands than meets the eye. No doubt this is not the last we've seen of him. |
| 16029 The sun shines upon me most readily to see thee once again, fair customer. Dost thou wish to see my selection once again? |
| 16030 Yes, show me what you have in stock. |
| 16031 No, I'm not interested. |
| 16032 A good business to you, my <LADYLORD>! I do not recognize you, I think. Would it be impertinent for Hes to inquire as to your name? |
| 16033 Not at all. I am <GABBER>. |
| 16034 I'm not interested in divulging my name. One cannot be too careful. |
| 16035 Just show me what you have to sell and let's leave it at that, shall we? |
| 16036 Excuse me, I'm afraid I must be going. |
| 16037 Foreclosing on me so soon? Ah, very well. You are welcome to my humble shop at any time, however. |
| 16038 Oh, of course! Hes is never too curious not to sense an impatient dragon. Come, I shall sell you on my goods. |
| 16039 As you wish, good customer. I meant no disrespect. Do you want to see what Hes has in his stocks? I can assure you that it is all of platinum quality! |
| 16040 Hail there! I said I would return, and I have. Sorry to have kept you waiting, but there were things I had to take care of. Now that we have met once again, there is something I must ask of you. We must go... we must go to the Harper Hold in Athkatla. |

| 16044 Well met, <GABBER>, and a pearl to you. Feel free to peruse my goods and ask questions, naturally. |
| 16045 Yes, show me what you have. |
| 16046 No, I'm not interested. |
| 16047 As you wish. Unfortunately, my stock is not what it once was, with the troubles of late, but it is still a good selection. |
| 16048 Yes, show me what services you have. |
| 16049 Perhaps you could tell me where I could find a suitable inn. |
| 16050 Tavern Patron |
| 16051 I'm looking for quality goods, perhaps magical items and the like? |
| 16052 Tavern Patron |
| 16053 Could you direct me to a temple or such where I might receive healing? |
| 16054 Thank you, but I'll be on my way. |
| 16055 I do not know if I would call it "suitable," but you could certainly look to the Copper Coronet in the slums. It is better than ore on credit, as they say. |
| 16056 I have little taste for magic, but sometimes an item of that nature comes into my possession. You could try the Adventure Mart for such things. |
| 16057 There are several places of worship that could assist you in the Temple District, my friend. A shrine to Ilmater is also close by, if you wish. |
| 16058 Slaver Guard |

| 16062 Could you perhaps direct me to a temple or such where I might receive healing? |
| 16063 Thank you, but I'll be on my way. |
| 16064 I see. Well, let me see what services you have. |
| 16065 Perhaps you could tell me where I could find a suitable inn. |
| 16066 Could you perhaps direct me to a temple or such where I might receive healing? |
| 16067 Thank you. I'll be on my way. |

| 16072 Ah, good business to you once again, my friend! You wish to peruse Hes's goods, do you? |
| 16073 Yes, let's see what services you have. |

| 16075 Tavern Wench |
| 16076 I'd actually like to ask you a few questions, if I could. |

| 16084 Never mind, actually. Just show me what services you have. |
| 16085 Actually, I'll be on my way. |
| 16086 Move along, citizen, nothing to see here. |
| 16087 This incident is being handled. None of your concern. |
| 16088 The council is looking into matters. Proceed on your way. |
| 16089 This area is cordoned off for your safety, citizen. Move along. |
| 16090 A word I would have with you, Jaheira. Listen carefully whilst I say what I must, for this brings me no pleasure. |
| 16091 Charming, as I was told. No, Jaheira, you have nothing I require save your attention. You are bid to follow as I lead. Come, we must go. |
| 16092 Do I know of you? Have you reason to subject me to your rude manner? I have no coin, if that is your wish. |
| 16093 I do not follow by a stranger's command. Who are you? |
| 16094 Oh, you know me, as well as you should know yourself. We are one and the same, and I bear the pin that tells our name. Let your eyes not deceive you as you look upon this "trinket." |
| 16095 I... Yes, I see. If you would give me a moment, I will do what needs be done. |
| 16096 Make your farewells quick. You will not be gone long. |
| 16097 Relax, <CHARNAME>, I will not be gone long. Please, I will explain when I return. I... I do not wish to be apart from you too long. I will return when I can. |
| 16098 Try not to worry, <CHARNAME>, I can take care of myself. I will return as soon as possible. I have obligations elsewhere that must be attended to. |
| 16099 I have obligations elsewhere. Worry not, I will return shortly. You will survive without me for a time. |
| 16100 And what is this about, Jaheira? Should I be concerned? If something is wrong and I can help... |
| 16101 Who is this wench, and why does she think she can split us up so easily? We've not the time for this. |
| 16102 Very well. I will assist you. |
| 16103 I will not abide hearing of ill children who cannot be helped. Here, sir, take 5 gold and buy the child's medicine. |
| 16104 I certainly wish I could assist you. Alas, I cannot. |
| 16105 A likely story. Begone with you! |
| 16106 Ye're a heartless piece o' bronze, ye are! |
| 16107 Ach, don' worry, mate. 'Tis the same for all here in th' slums. |
| 16108 Ye're a saint fer sure, me mate. Me wife will sing yer praises, as will I. |
| 16109 Teleport |
| 16110 Well... (Hurrrm...) Hello to you. I don't recall seeing your face in here before. Strangers aren't exactly welcome in these parts. |
| 16111 Then let's not remain strangers. I am <GABBER>. |
| 16112 Isn't that odd for an inn? Strangers must come through here all the time. |
| 16113 I have a terrible amount of coin to dispense with. I can always do so elsewhere. |
| 16114 I'd like to see what services you have to offer. Either that or I could leave. |
| 16115 What is going on, Jaheira? I need you here in the party. |
| 16116 What is this about? I won't have outsiders breaking up my group. I am the leader here. |
| 16117 I'll not stay where I'm not welcome. Excuse me. |
| 16118 (Hurrm.) Yes. Well. I am Lehtinan. Proprietor of the Copper Coronet, if you will. (Hurrm.) Welcome. |
| 16119 Grizzly Bear |
| 16120 Grizzly Bear |
| 16121 It is an odd time. (Hurrrm.) Strangers can be... dangerous. If one is not careful. (Hurrrm.) You wish something? |
| 16122 (Hurrm.) Coin is... always... welcome. You will find the Copper Coronet able to fulfill your needs, whether drink, rest, or other sorts... of entertainment. (Hurrrm.) |
| 16123 You do not have to leave, stranger. (Hurrm.) Not yet. But if you wish to purchase something, you must speak to Bernard. He... handles my transactions. (Hurrm.) |
| 16124 Of course. (Hurrm.) I would expect... nothing less. |
| 16125 Perhaps I could see what services you have available? |
| 16126 I've heard of slaves being moved about the slums at night... some to this tavern. Do you know anything about that? |
| 16127 I'm looking to dispose of some coin. Any ideas on how to spend it? |
| 16128 I'll be on my way, thanks. |
| 16129 The Copper Coronet aims to please. (Hurrrrrrm.) But you must speak to Bernard if you wish to purchase something. |
| 16130 (Hurrrm.) I do not know what you speak of. I know nothing of slaves. |
| 16131 Perhaps I could see what services you have available? |
| 16132 I've heard of slaves being moved about the slums at night... some to this tavern. Do you know anything about that? |
| 16133 I'm looking to dispose of some coin. Any ideas on how to spend it? |
| 16134 I'll be on my way, thanks. |
| 16135 Drink and rest sound fine. Let me see what you have available. |
| 16136 Other sorts of entertainment? What are you talking about? |
| 16137 I'll pass. |
| 16138 Ohhh... one is always able to provide entertainment. (Hurrm.) Things like companionship, perhaps, or gambling on battles, and other things. |
| 16139 Are you certain? You know nothing of slaves. |
| 16140 Perhaps some coin would loosen your tongue. |
| 16141 All right, then. I'll leave it be. For now. |
| 16142 People come and go from the Coronet all the time. (Hurrm.) I have no need to acquire slaves. (Hurrm.) I trust that will be all; I have... other things to attend to. |
| 16143 Companionship? That sounds interesting. Tell me more. |
| 16144 I've never had anything against gambling. What do you know about that? |
| 16145 What sorts of... other things are you referring to? I'm interested. |
| 16146 Companionship? That sounds interesting. Tell me more. |
| 16147 I've never had anything against gambling. What do you know about that? |
| 16148 What sorts of... other things are you referring to? I'm interested. |
| 16149 I see. No, I'd rather see what regular services you have available. |
| 16150 No one is disputing that, but I do have obligations outside the group. I will return when I am able. |
| 16151 None of these things interest me. |
| 16152 Go over to the fellow by the door on the far wall and tell him I said to let you in. Talk to Frankie or perhaps Madame Nin if you wish to... partake. And enjoy. (Hurrm.) |
| 16153 I have been asked to bring you, and we must go soon. They will allow us to pass the wards of the door, but I must be with you, and I must be conscious. |
| 16154 (Hurrrm.) Nay. Why should I trust you? You look like trouble. I've no need for trouble here. |
| 16155 I will not trouble you. You have no need to worry. |

| 16165 Monster Summoning IV (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 6 Range: 120 ft. Duration: 5 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell is much like the 3rd-level monster summoning I spell, except that this spell summons 6-HD monsters. There is a 60% chance of receiving one monster and a 40% chance of receiving two monsters. These monster(s) appear within spell range and attack the caster's opponents until the spell duration expires or until they are slain. |
| 16166 Fine. I'll be going, then. |
| 16167 It does not. (Hurrrm.) But it does allow you to remain. (Hurrrm.) |
| 16168 (Hurrrmm... hurrm.) Nay. I do not believe you. You stink of trouble. Begone. |
| 16169 (Hurrrrm.) You are back. I see. You wish something else? |
| 16170 Monster Summoning V (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Range: 120 ft. Duration: 6 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Within one round of casting this spell, the wizard magically conjures 1d4 5-HD monsters. These monster(s) appear within spell range and attack the caster's opponents until the spell duration expires or until they are slain. |
| 16171 Yes. Let me see what services you have available. |
| 16172 I didn't catch your name the first time. I am <GABBER>. |
| 16173 You are rather unfriendly for an innkeeper. Rather odd, I should think. |
| 16174 I've heard of slaves being moved about the slums at night... some to this tavern. Do you know anything about that? |
| 16175 No, thanks. I'll be going. |
| 16176 If that is what you wish, then that is what we will do. I trust your judgment, Jaheira. You know you needn't ask me twice. Welcome back to the party, and to my side. |

| 16186 I'll not go traipsing off at their beck and call. What do they want? If they cannot tell me on my own time, why should I go to them? |
| 16187 Lehtinan is lettin' you into the back, eh? That's just fine. Be no trouble an' I won't hafta break yer head, aye? |
| 16188 Beat it. I ain't here t' chat up the customers. If you want somethin', go speak to Lehtinan. |

| 16211 Stand away, citizen! |
| 16212 Thank you, I am glad to be back in your company. I only wish it were not under such circumstances. Come, we must go. I will explain more when it is time. |
| 16213 Oy! Look at th' dolly <PRO_GIRLBOY>, all sacked up like an "adventurer." Are ye supposed to be tough or something, aye? |
| 16215 _ If you have a Mage, Cleric, or Druid in your party, your character must memorize spells using the Rest button on the Mage Book or Priest Scroll pages. To get to these pages, right-click on your character portrait and then select the Book or Scroll icon that appears on the left. |
| 16216 _ You can look at your Inventory page by right-clicking on your character portrait. |
| 16217 _ Equip items by placing them in the appropriate slots around your character on the Inventory page. Once equipped, you can pick the weapon you wish to use by left-clicking on the Quick Weapon slot at the bottom of the main gameplay screen. A green box will appear around the weapon that is in your character's hands; an orange box indicates combat mode. |
| 16218 _ You can pause the game at any time by hitting the space bar or left-clicking on the clock face. Unpausing occurs the same way. Pausing is most useful during combat where it gives you the time to carefully orchestrate your party's attack. |
| 16219 _ Buy items by talking to the keeper of a store or inn. You can also rest your party by renting a room, try to hear a few rumors over a mug of ale, or attempt a little shoplifting. In the Buy/Sell screen, items that the currently selected character cannot use (due to class limitations or weapon proficiencies) will be tinted red, though others in your party may have a use for them. |
| 16220 _ While in temples, talk to the priests as you would an innkeeper. They offer an array of useful services, and you will often be able to heal your party, purchase specialty items, or identify treasures acquired during your travels. |
| 16221 _ Thieves access their skills using the icons along the bottom of their screen. "Thieving" includes Open Locks, Pick Pockets, and Remove Trap, when used in conjunction with the appropriate targets (chests, people, and traps, respectively). "Find Traps" examines a general area and outlines found traps in red. "Stealth" uses Move Silently and Hide in Shadows to render a Thief effectively invisible until their next attack. That attack is automatically a backstab, increasing the damage of a successful hit dramatically. |
| 16222 _ Clerics and Paladins have the ability to Turn Undead. Activating this icon will cause many undead creatures to flee or even be destroyed. When in this mode, the character can move wherever they wish. Any other action, such as attacking or casting a spell, will deactivate the ability. |
| 16223 _ Bards can inspire their comrades in combat by use of the Bard Song. They are able to move when singing, but any other action will end the song. While they may be rogues, Bards primarily concern themselves with people. Because of this, they can pick pockets but lack the other thieving skills. |
| 16224 _ Open doors by left-clicking on the doorway. The mouse pointer will change into a door icon when in the right position and the door will be outlined in blue. Your party can then enter the building if you left-click on the area just inside the door. |
| 16225 _ Direct your selected character to climb stairs by moving the pointer to the top of a stairway and left-clicking. The graphic will change to a stair icon when in the right spot. |
| 16226 _ Hostile creatures have red circles around their feet. Left-clicking within the circle will direct your character to attack. You can switch weapons using the Quick Weapon icons. The weapon outlined in green is the current weapon. Attack with fists only (empty Quick Slot) if you only wish to knock your opponent unconscious. If you have a character with magical abilities, try casting a spell using their Spell icons. |
| 16227 _ If you are having trouble coordinating your attacks, try pressing the space bar to pause the game. While paused, issue your commands. When you unpause the game, your characters will obey the orders you have given them. |
| 16228 _ Interaction defaults to Talk for neutral targets and Attack for hostile targets. To talk to a neutral character (neutrals are identified by blue circles), left-click on one of them. Don't forget to select one of your party members to do the talking. If you would like to talk to a hostile character, select the Talk icon and then left-click on the character. If you would like to attack a neutral, select a weapon icon and then left-click on the target. |
| 16229 _ Wizards, Clerics, Druids, and Bards can all cast spells. Select their Cast Spell button, choose a spell, and left-click on your target. You can also configure Quick Spells by right-clicking on a Quick Spell slot. This summons a list of memorized spells to choose. If no spells are listed, the character either does not have any spells memorized or cannot cast until higher levels. To cast the Quick Spell, left-click on the appropriate Quick Spell slot and then select your target. |

| 16237 I must rest for our cause to succeed. |
| 16238 I should make better use of time. |
| 16239 I require assistance with my wounds. |
| 16240 Yes? |
| 16241 What is my task? |
| 16242 On my honor. |
| 16243 It shall be. |
| 16244 Consider it done. |
| 16245 I will do my best. |
| 16246 Ugh! |
| 16247 Uuuugh... |
| 16248 You will fall by my hand! |
| 16249 Of course. I'm the best choice. |
| 16250 I must rest soon. I am weak when I am tired. |
| 16251 There're far better things to do than sit and wait. |
| 16252 I will require healing as soon as possible. |
| 16253 Yes? |
| 16254 What is it? |
| 16255 Speak. |
| 16256 It will be done. |
| 16257 Certainly. |
| 16258 Without doubt. |

| 16261 Wands are 1 1/4 ft. long and slender. They are made of ivory, bone, or wood and are usually tipped with somethingâ€â€metal, crystal, stone, and so on. They are fragile and tend to break easily. Because of this, they are often kept in cases. Wands are powered by charges, each use costing one or more charges (depending on the item). When a wand runs out of charges, it is consumed and destroyed. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |

| 16269 Basic armor made of thick, wax or water-hardened leather. It is sturdy protection, not supple like boots or a cloak. Soft garment leathers like that would offer no more protection than common clothing. Magical enchantments have improved the protective abilities of this particular suit. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 7 (9 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 4 Strength Weight: 5 |
| 16270 This odd-looking suit of studded leather cannot be removed once put on, except under intervention by a priest. While improving the protection against all melee weapons, this armor actually becomes a target for missile weapons, and hence so does its wearer. The choice is simple: deadly arrows or deadly swords. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – May only be removed with a Remove Curse spell Armor Class: 5 (3 vs. slashing, 4 vs. piercing, 15 vs. missile) Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 8 |
| 16271 Studded leather armor has little in common with normal leather armor. While leather armor is a hardened shell, studded leather armor is soft and supple with hundreds of metal rivets affixed. The rivets are so close together that they form a flexible coating of hard metal that turns aside slashing and cutting attacks. The soft leather backing is little more than a means of securing the rivets in place. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 6 (4 vs. slashing, 5 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 15 |
| 16272 Chain mail is made of interlocking metal rings. It is always worn over a layer of padded fabric or soft leather to prevent chafing and lessen the impact of blows. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 4 (2 vs. slashing, 6 vs. crushing) Requires: 8 Strength Weight: 20 |
| 16273 Splint mail is a variant of banded mail in which the metal strips are applied vertically to the backing of chain, leather, or cloth rather than horizontally as in banded mail. Since the body does not swivel in mid-torso as much as it flexes back to front, splint mail is more restrictive in battle. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 3 (2 vs. piercing and missile, 1 vs. crushing) Requires: 8 Strength Weight: 20 |
| 16274 Bracers of Defense AC 8 Bracers are thick bands of metal or leather that are strapped, belted, or tied to a character's forearm. Generally, the magic that is instilled in bracers is good only during combat, since most bracers help protect the wearer from injury or improve their chances to strike an opponent. Exceptions do exist, though such specialized items are rare at best. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 8 Weight: 2 |
| 16275 The body shield, also known as the kite or tower shield, is a massive metal or wooden shield reaching nearly from the chin to the toe of the user. It must be firmly fastened to the forearm and the shield hand must firmly grip it at all times. Naturally, this precludes use of the shield hand for anything but holding the body shield in place. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2, +1 vs. missile attacks Requires: 15 Strength Weight: 12 |
| 16276 A small shield is usually round and is carried on the forearm, gripped with the shield hand. Its light weight as compared to a medium shield permits the user to carry other items in that hand, although <PRO_HESHE> cannot wield or carry another weapon. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 – No protection against missile attacks Weight: 3 |
| 16277 A medium shield is carried in the same manner as a small shield. Unlike the small shield, however, its weight prevents the character from using <PRO_HISHER> shield hand for anything other than carrying the medium shield. Medium shields are usually made of metal, range from three to four feet in diameter, and can be of any shape, from round to square to a dragon's spread wings. A typical medieval shield resembles a triangle with one point facing downward. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 6 |
| 16278 Also known as the hand-and-a-half sword, the bastard sword derives its name from the fact that it is halfway between the two-handed sword and the long sword. The bastard sword has a double-edged blade and a long grip, which can accommodate both hands if preferred. The overall length of the bastard sword ranges between four feet and four feet ten inches. STATISTICS: Damage: 2d4+1 Speed Factor: 7 Proficiency Type: Bastard Sword Type: One-handed Weight: 10 |
| 16279 These swords are usually referred to as double-edged swords, war swords, or military swords. In many cases, the long sword has a single-edged blade. There is no single version of the long sword; the design and length vary from culture to culture and may vary within the same culture depending on the era. Among the most common characteristics of all long swords is their length, which ranges from thirty-five inches to forty-seven inches. In the latter case, the blade is known to take up forty inches of the total length. Most long swords have a double-edged blade and a sharp point at the tip. Despite the tip, the long sword is designed for slashing, not thrusting. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d8+1 Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Long Sword Type: One-handed Weight: 4 |
| 16280 The short sword is the first type of sword to come into existence. In the simplest of terms, a short sword can be considered a dagger with a blade so long that it can no longer be called a dagger. The term short sword does not exist in sword classifications. However, it has come to be used to describe a double-edged blade about two feet in length. The sword tip is usually pointed, ideal for thrusting. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d6+1 Speed Factor: 2 Proficiency Type: Short Sword Type: One-handed Weight: 3 |
| 16281 The two-handed sword is a derivative of the long sword. Weaponsmiths have always looked for ways to improve existing weapons. In an effort to improve the long sword, the blade was lengthened. Eventually, the handle had to be extended and two hands became necessary to properly swing the sword. The primary function of two-handed swords is cleaving mounted knights and breaking up pike formations. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d10+1 Speed Factor: 9 Proficiency Type: Two-handed Sword Type: Two-handed Weight: 12 |
| 16282 Mounted knights cannot effectively use long pole weapons while on horseback and, as a result, many weapons have been fitted with shorter shafts so they may be wielded with just one hand. Maces and flails are two examples of thisâ€â€the war hammer is another. The horseman's war hammer is the descendent of the Lucerne hammer. It is made entirely of steel, with rondels protecting and strengthening the grip. (Rondels are small disks of metal, often shaped into decorative designs.) The shaft is about eighteen inches long. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d4+1, +1 Speed Factor: 3 Proficiency Type: War Hammer Weight: 6 |
| 16283 One of the earliest weapons, dating back to the most primitive of times, the first spears were simply wooden poles or sticks sharpened at one end. When the civilized races mastered metals, spearheads were made from iron and steel. Having reached this end, weaponsmiths began experimenting with different types of spearheads, thus leading to the development of certain polearm types. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d6+1 Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Spear Type: Two-handed Weight: 5 |
| 16284 The flail is a sturdy wooden handle attached to an iron rod, a wooden rod with spikes, or a spiked iron ball. Between the handle and its implement is either a hinge or chain link. The weapon was originally used as a tool for threshing grain. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d6+1 Speed Factor: 6 Proficiency Type: Flail/Morning Star Type: One-handed Weight: 15 |
| 16287 A crossbow is a bow mounted crosswise on a wooden or metal shaft, the latter called a tiller. The bow is usually made of ash or yew. The crossbow fires a quarrel (also called a bolt). This light crossbow has been enchanted. STATISTICS: THAC0: +1 Damage: +1 (missile) Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Crossbow Type: Two-handed Requires: 8 Strength Weight: 6 |
| 16288 Composite bows are longbows or shortbows whose staves are made from more than one type of material. This gives greater flexibility and makes arrows fired from this bow deliver more damage. These were developed after the normal longbow. STATISTICS: THAC0: +2 Damage: +1 (missile) Speed Factor: 6 Proficiency Type: Longbow Type: Two-handed Requires: 18 Strength Weight: 9 |
| 16289 The longbow is similar to the shortbow, except that the staff is about as tall as the archer isâ€â€usually six to six-and-a-half feet. It has better range and accuracy than the shortbow, but a slower Speed Factor. STATISTICS: THAC0: +1 Speed Factor: 6 Proficiency Type: Longbow Type: Two-handed Weight: 3 |
| 16290 Shortbows were the first bows to be developed, although they were not called such. This is more of a default term that refers to anything which is not a longbow. Shortbow staves are about five feet long on the average. As the years passed, attempts were made to increase bow ranges. Bows were either given longer staves or flexibility was increased with no change to the length. The former resulted in what is now called the longbow. STATISTICS: Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Shortbow Type: Two-handed Weight: 2 |
| 16291 Slings have existed since the beginning of recorded history. The basic sling consists of a leather or fabric strap with a pouch for holding the missile. The weapon is held by both ends of the strap and twirled around the wielder's head. When top speed is attained, the missile is launched by releasing one of the strap's ends. STATISTICS: Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Sling Type: One-handed Weight: 0 |
| 16292 The most common version of the battle axe is a stout pole about four feet in length with a single-edged, trumpet-shaped blade mounted on one end. Battle axes are also called broad axes. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d8+1 Speed Factor: 6 Proficiency Type: Axe Type: One-handed Weight: 7 |
| 16293 The typical dagger has a pointed, usually double-edged blade, as opposed to a knife, which has a single edge and is a bit shorter. This dagger is magical, improving speed, accuracy, and damage. STATISTICS: THAC0: +1 Damage: 1d4+1 (piercing) Speed Factor: 1 Proficiency Type: Dagger Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 1 |
| 16294 By far the oldest and most often used polearm, the halberd consists of a cleaver-like axe blade mounted on a staff averaging six feet in length. The axe blade is balanced at the rear with a fluke and surmounted by a sharp spike, usually of quadrangular design. The fluke is sometimes replaced by a hook used to dismount cavalry. A halberd can be best described as a cross between a spear and an axe. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d10+1 Speed Factor: 8 Proficiency Type: Halberd Type: Two-handed Weight: 15 |
| 16295 The simplest and humblest of staff weapons, the quarterstaff is a length of wood ranging six to nine feet in length. High-quality quarterstaves are made of stout oak and are shod with metal at both ends. The quarterstaff must be wielded with both hands. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d6+1 Speed Factor: 3 Proficiency Type: Quarterstaff Type: Two-handed Weight: 4 |
| 16297 The flight arrow, as its name implies, is built for distance. These are lightweight arrows and are often used for hunting. Most of these arrows are made of ash or birch and are thirty to forty inches long. STATISTICS: THAC0: +1 Damage: 1d6 (missile) Launcher: Bow Weight: 0 |
| 16298 The flight arrow, as its name implies, is built for distance. These are lightweight arrows and are often used for hunting. Most of these arrows are made of ash or birch and are 30 to 40 inches long. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d6+2 Damage type: missile Weight: 0 Launcher: Bow |

You never know when having such a place would come in handy... and it may serve as a creative outlet in the future. Who knows, though, where my future will take me? I expect that the theater will draw a regular income, which I should come back to the playhouse from time to time to collect. No doubt Higgold will store it somewhere inside for me. |

| 16331 The final battle with Bodhi Bodhi appeared in an ambush shortly before I reached her haven, warning me that she was aware of my pursuit and stealing from me the one person that is dearest to my heart: Anomen. Before she vanished and unleashed more of her undead creations upon me, Bodhi warned me that if I continue, I will lose even more than I thought possible. I cannot give up on the Rhynn Lanthorn... but now the life and immortal soul of the one I love is at stake as well! |
| 16333 Inside the drow city Obviously, I have taken too long and left Solaufein too suspicious of me. He or someone else, perhaps the Handmaidens of Lolth, have revealed me to the city. I shall have to fight my way through the drow now, if I can... |
| 16335 Dealing with the Trademeet genies I solved the problem with the Dao genies, pleasing Lord Logan greatly. He promised a hero's welcome and suggested that I collect a reward from Guildmistress Busya if I have not already. |
| 16336 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded We encountered Daleson in the keep, and he informed us that Nalia's father likely yet lives... but he has been taken captive and brought to the "cellars," the old dungeon within the keep. It seems he was attempting to gather the heads for a flail, kept separate for reasons Nalia didn't know... but she suggests it might be a good idea to find the pieces if her father didn't. |
| 16338 The de'Arnise keep has been cleared With Lord de'Arnise dead, it is up to his family to raise Nalia on their own. For my own part, I have completed the quest and routed the trolls from the keep. They were thankful for that much, at least. |
| 16339 The drow summoning ritual I revealed Phaere's treachery to Matron Ardulace, showing her the fake eggs that Phaere gave me. She noticed the real eggs and took them, too... but at least she believes that Phaere is the one behind all of this. |

| 16351 The final battle with Bodhi Bodhi has revealed herself to me, letting me know that she is aware of my pursuit... and in an attempt to dissuade me from entering her lair unleashed yet more of her undead creations upon me. She swears I will lose much more than my life if I continue to pursue her... although, in truth, I have little choice. |
| 16354 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded We have finally encountered TorGal, the leader of the trolls that have invaded the keep. He intimated that he and his pack made a deal with some outside force... perhaps to make the attack in the first place and kill the family? Unfortunately, battle broke out before any more information could be found out. |

| 16524 The hunt for Valygar Corthala I have encountered Valygar Corthala in his cabin in the Umar Hills, hiding from the Cowled Wizards who believe that he will enable them to have access to the planar sphere in the Slums District of Athkatla through his blood relation to Lavok, the necromancer who created it five hundred years ago. Valygar believes that Lavok himself is within the sphere... and that he intends to prolong his life through taking the body of a relative as he always has. Valygar's family has sworn to kill Lavok should he ever reappear, and now this is his chance. I have agreed to take Valygar with me to Athkatla and enter the sphere and discover what is within... and kill Lavok should we encounter him. |
| 16529 The drow summoning ritual The key that Phaere gave me to get the real eggs from the treasury was enough to convince the Matron Ardulace of her treachery. This means I won't be able to get the eggs now... but my chance may come later. Phaere, in the meantime, is about to receive her just desserts. |
| 16530 Helping Tiris in Trademeet I have arrived at the lair Darsidian described, only to find that he entered it to save Raissa from being killed by Rejiek. Rejiek lies unconscious, and Darsidian has asked me to kill him quickly before he awakens. The skinless creature appears to be nowhere in sight. |
| 16531 Anomen returns home after his sister's death We received word that Anomen's sister has been murdered. I couldn't accompany Anomen to investigate, so he has left the group and gone to his father's home in the Government District of Athkatla. |
| 16533 Vakola attempts to take revenge on Keldorn We encountered Keldorn's old "friend," Vakola, again in the Sea's Bounty. This time, it became apparent that Keldorn and Vakola were once team members in the Order, and that Keldorn turned him in for accepting bribes. The man's bitterness brought him and his friends to attack Keldorn and me... and now he is dead. |
| 16535 Inside the asylum Irenicus has shown himself. It was his plan all along to bring me here. He has apprehended me through treachery, and he intends to take my "divine soul." He has already done as much to Imoen... who, according to Irenicus, is also a child of Bhaal. Why did Gorion not tell me? How could she have been a child all this time? True, there was always a connection of sorts... and if Irenicus is to be believed, Imoen's own spirit kept the taint at bay for a long time... but, in the end, it doesn't matter. He said that Imoen barely survived the process he is about to put me through. He doesn't expect me to live. |
| 16541 Getting inside the asylum At a loss for what to do next, I have spoken to Saemon on the ship for some ideas on how to get inside the asylum. With some prodding, Saemon mentioned that the Pirate Lord has been known to commit people from time to time. He also said there was a Cowled Wizard representative about who might have a key. |
| 16542 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Nalia has gone back to the palisade to wait for my news of Daleson. The servant is likely the best way to find out what has happened to her family without alerting the trolls to my presence. |
| 16543 Freeing Queen Ellesime There is only one more parasite left to kill, and Ellesime says it must be dispatched quickly. Once it is killed she will begin disconnecting Irenicus from the Tree of Life, and I will have to go to the central area quickly. Irenicus will be disoriented and weak, and that may be my only chance. She warns caution though; the effect of the mage absorbing the Tree's power is unknown. |
| 16544 The hunt for Valygar Corthala Hervo mentioned that the Corthala family used to own some land in the Umar Hills and suspects his master may have gone there, although he knows nothing beyond that. |

| 16548 Rescue Garren's child from Firkraag Garren's child has been kidnapped, no doubt by Firkraag's men. Garren has convinced the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart of my innocence, so I am free once again to travel without being hounded by paladins bent on vengeance. Garren doesn't know why Firkraag would continue to hound him... nor where his child's kidnappers would have taken their prisoner. |
| 16549 Rescue Garren's child from Firkraag I encountered an orc in this strange place who mentioned Firkraag... obviously I am in the right place. If Firkraag is here, it is likely that so is Garren's child. |
| 16553 Investigate activities in the Copper Coronet's rooms I have encountered a slave called Hendak in the Copper Coronet's pen. He asked me to help him escape. I refused. |
| 16555 Cernd's child We have recovered Cernd's child from Deril. Cernd has renamed the boy Ahsdale and brought him to the druid grove to be reared. He bade me to come and collect him from there after a day or so. |
| 16556 Jaheira renounces her Harper status We have met with yet another Harper... this one, apparently, a former tutor of Jaheira's by the name of Dermin. He told Jaheira that he was sent to execute her for the deaths at the Harper Hold, and while he did not attack, Jaheira renounced her life as a Harper. But as I had urged her on to this path, she felt that I did not trust her judgment any more than the Harpers, and so she has left the group. I fear she is gone for good. |
| 16557 Finding Irenicus in Hell I encountered a demon who told me that the two paths I see before me will both lead to the Tear of Bhaal... but that the path I take will affect another. It then summoned an innocent victim... someone completely unknown to me plucked unknowing from another place. I suppose the path I take will have a bearing directly on the man, and I will have to make a choice as to which way I go. But why? He says that the path to his left will require me to sacrifice for the innocent. If I go to his right, I will need not sacrifice anything. |
| 16558 Getting inside the asylum I got into the guild house by hiring a courtesan... and upon realizing that I might free Claire, the courtesan was willing enough to tell me that the girl was held at the end of the hall. The key, however, is likely on Lady Galvena's person or in her room... and the guards certainly won't let me just wander about. |

| 16563 Leaving the island Saemon suggests I collect whatever gear I require, and when I am ready to leave the island, I should speak to him at the tavern. |
| 16564 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid Bodhi told me much today... but most importantly that she has booked passage to the island asylum where Imoen... and presumably Irenicus... are being held. I am to return to her as soon as I am ready to leave on the ship. |
| 16569 The hunt for Valygar Corthala I have met Valygar Corthala in his cabin in the Umar Hills, hiding away from the Cowled Wizards who are hunting him. According to Valygar, he is related to Lavok, an ancient necromancer who built the sphere five hundred years before... a sphere that disappeared shortly after it was completed and has just reappeared. The Cowled Wizards seem sure that Valygar is the key to accessing the place, the reason for their harassment of him. I have let Valygar go his own way, but he cannot stay any longer at the cabin now that it has been compromised. He told me that if I should have need of him in the future, I can find him through his servant at his home in the Docks District in Athkatla. |
| 16570 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Meck came to tell me that Higgold has the dress rehearsal ready for me to view at the playhouse. If I am ever going to see what he's been planning all this time, now is the time to see it. Besides... Higgold won't put the play on until I take a look at it first. I am the patron, after all. |
| 16571 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Meck has appeared, mentioning that there is some problem with the music that needs my attention. Gods! Can Higgold handle *nothing* by himself? |
| 16572 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Meck appeared, telling me that I am needed at the playhouse. Something about "strange happenings" and even Meck being scared. Perhaps this has something to do with this curse that Zaren mentioned? If I want to see, I'll have to go there soon. |
| 16573 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Now *this* is interesting. Meck found me once again, this time saying that barbarians had taken over the playhouse! Higgold sent for me immediately... probably for the best as well. I suppose the town guard could handle it, but maybe I should go and see what's going on personally. |

| 16577 I am a Harper in my heart; you know this. It is my duty to bring you to them, but... but I no more want to make the trip than you do. Nevertheless, we must go. |
| 16578 No, I am not interested. |
| 16579 Very true, <CHARNAME>, but I am a Harper, as you know. They ask that I bring you. I will not make you go, and I will not leave you, but eventually we must. |
| 16580 Harpers will wait an eternity for vengeance or justice, though defining the two is sometimes difficult. They made it clear I was to bring you to them. |
| 16581 Certainly, you've piqued my interest. |
| 16582 Certainly, you've piqued my interest. |
| 16583 Please, do not make this difficult. I have a duty to take you, and I will not rest easy until we have gone. I will not force you, but eventually we must go. |
| 16584 Certainly, you've piqued my interest. |
| 16585 Oh, ah, no. Perhaps I should be leaving. |

| 16605 I'm sorry to bother you. I don't think I can afford this. |

| 16613 I have no interest in hiring a slave, whether it for the purpose of companionship or anything else. |
| 16614 Very well, then. Here is my 50 gold pieces. I would like to spend the night, I suppose. |
| 16615 I should not speak but... Slavery is illegal, but the trade goes on. There is a terrible compound here in the slums, and many come through it, as did I. |

| 16770 Oh, um, of c-course. Bye. |
| 16771 Oh! *sniffle* O-o-okay. *sob* |
| 16773 Shadow Thief |
| 16774 My name's D-d-delon. I was sent to f-find someone, but things have been gone all wrong! *sniffle* I've had all my money stolen, and I'm lost, and everyone's so mean. *sniff* |
| 16777 Shadow Thief |
| 16778 *sniffle* I'm lost, <SIRMAAM>. I was sent to f-f-find somebody who could help my village, but I've had all my things stolen and n-n-nobody can help me! |
| 16779 Oh, for the love ofâ€â€! What is the problem, boy? |
| 16780 Bah! You even find sniveling brats in taverns these days! Out of my sight, boy! |
| 16781 Perhaps I was a little harsh. What is your name, boy? |
| 16782 *sniff* I'm sorry, <SIRMAAM>. I d-didn't mean to bother you. |
| 16783 You will cease all hostilities! This is your only warning! |
| 16784 Who were you sent to find? Perhaps I can help. |
| 16785 That's terrible! Here, take 5 gold pieces. That should help you out a little. |
| 16786 This is an unsanctioned use of magical energy! All involved will be held! |
| 16787 That's very sad, but I'm afraid I can't help you out. Excuse me. |
| 16788 I've no interest in whiny brats or their petty problems. |
| 16789 We know of your treachery, Irenicus! Where have you taken our brethren?! |
| 16790 I'm not looking for any one p-p-person, <SIRMAAM>. I was sent to find someone who could h-help my village. Terrible things are happening there, and nobody knows what to do! |
| 16791 You dare to attack me here?! Do you even know whom you face?! |
| 16792 You know nothing of me! You know nothing of what I must do! You will suffer! You will all suffer! |
| 16793 Y-yes, <SIRMAAM>. You're very kind. But it'll p-p-probably just get stolen again, and I haven't found anyone who can help my village. |
| 16794 Men! Kill 'im! |
| 16795 You! You are no Herald! What is going on here? |
| 16796 This area lacks a Herald currently, and I seek to establish one. You will help, by doing what's right. You know what is right, don't you? |
| 16797 That's... that's him! That's the guy that hurt me... hurt us! I won't let him do it again! |
| 16798 Good Berry |
| 16799 Fighter |
| 16800 My dearest Mirianne, The road has been difficult, but I have arrived safely here in Amn. I think it would be wisest if I returned by sea, however, perhaps sometime after the first snows have fallen. I trust this letter reaches you. The halfling I hired to carry it struck me as an honest enough chap. Always and forever, Roe... |
| 16801 Calm down, boy. Tell me why your village needs help. |
| 16802 Child, you escape? I did not foresee this! I am not done with you! You... you have angered me! Do you know what that takes?! |
| 16803 I know you are an ambitious fool. You cannot be sanctioned to do this. Even this gaudy base is against our usual restraint. The position of Herald requires... |
| 16804 That's terrible! Here, take 5 gold pieces. That should help you out a little. |
| 16805 Rage! Hate! This is your death! I will end your petty little lives! |
| 16806 That's very sad, but I'm afraid I can't help you out. Excuse me. |
| 16807 I've no interest in whiny brats or their petty problems. |
| 16808 And... and, even worse, everyone says they seen strange b-beasts out in the hills. Everyone's so frightened! There's even t-t-talk that Umar herself has returned! |
| 16809 Herald requires the will to establish the position. The High Heralds will judge if it is deserved. Really, Jaheira, this is a matter aside. You know this. |
| 16810 Fine, set about with your questions so I can get on with my job as well. |
| 16811 What are you talking about? Why does your village need help? |
| 16812 I'm afraid I can't help you with that. Excuse me. |
| 16813 Very good. You serve the greater cause that we all do. Now then, <CHARNAME>, do you know why you are here? |
| 16814 Another sad sack case? I haven't time for it. Go away. |
| 16815 Oh? Why does your village need help? |
| 16816 Well, I'm afraid that's all the help I can offer for now. Excuse me. |
| 16817 That's not much gratitude. Begone, brat! |
| 16818 Who is this Umar? |
| 16819 I am here because Harpers meddle in the affairs of others, an activity they take sadistic pleasure in. |
| 16820 I would assume this is about the destruction in Waukeen's Promenade. I assure you that it was not of my doing. |
| 16821 I simply do not care. Stop with these games and state your case, whatever it is. |
| 16822 You are, of course, concerned about my background. You are specifically interested in my parentage. |
| 16823 What sorts of strange beasts do these people say they've seen? |
| 16824 Is there no evidence of what's behind all this trouble? |
| 16825 Where is this Imnesvale? Perhaps I will check out the situation myself. |
| 16826 I might go to this village if I have the time, but I can't do anything at the moment. |
| 16827 I don't think I can help you, boy. Best be on your way. |
| 16828 Koveras |
| 16829 Oh, um. All right. I guess I'll keep on looking for somebody to help out. |
| 16830 Koveras |
| 16831 Ribald |
| 16832 Ribald |
| 16833 I have no idea, though I am waiting to hear with great interest. |
| 16834 I am here because Harpers meddle in the affairs of others, an activity they take sadistic pleasure in. |
| 16835 <CHARNAME>! Please. |
| 16836 I can show you where it is on your map. I'm sure Minister Lloyd would be ever so grateful if you could aid the village. Everyone is terrible frightened! |
| 16837 Ahh, you are being playful. He said as such just to get a reaction from you, Jaheira. I imagine he cares for you somewhat. I wonder what Khalid would say... |
| 16838 Galvarey, siblings we are in Harper blood, but if you do not cease your tongue, I shall remove it! |
| 16839 Fine, fine, I meant no offense. No, <CHARNAME>, you are not here for my amusement. You are here because of who and what you are. |
| 16840 Lots of people say she's come back to bring her vengeance upon us. Mother says it's just stories, but I don't know. |
| 16841 People have been saying lots of things. Some say it's creatures made by magic... others say it's just a big wolf pack huntin' in the hills. |
| 16842 Nobody knows. Those that shows up are all twisted and strange... completely mad. Then they die and their bodies disappear. Minister Lloyd can't figure it out... |
| 16843 Who is this Umar? |
| 16844 Who is this Umar? |
| 16845 Who is this Umar? |
| 16846 What sorts of strange beasts do these people say they've seen? |
| 16847 What sorts of strange beasts do these people say they've seen? |
| 16848 What sorts of strange beasts do these people say they've seen? |
| 16849 Is there no evidence of what's behind all this trouble? |
| 16850 Is there no evidence of what's behind all this trouble? |
| 16851 Is there no evidence of what's behind all this trouble? |
| 16852 Where is this Imnesvale? Perhaps I will check out the situation myself. |
| 16853 Where is this Imnesvale? Perhaps I will check out the situation myself. |
| 16854 Where is this Imnesvale? Perhaps I will check out the situation myself. |
| 16856 If I decided to go to your village, boy, what would be the reward for ridding it of this menace? |
| 16857 If I decided to go to your village, boy, what would be the reward for ridding it of this menace? |
| 16858 If I decided to go to your village, boy, what would be the reward for ridding it of this menace? |
| 16859 If I decided to go to your village, boy, what would be the reward for ridding it of this menace? |
| 16860 Well, I might go to this village if I have the time, but I can't do anything for you at the moment. |
| 16861 Well, I might go to this village if I have the time, but I can't do anything for you at the moment. |
| 16862 Well, I might go to this village if I have the time, but I can't do anything for you at the moment. |
| 16863 Well, I might go to this village if I have the time, but I can't do anything for you at the moment. |
| 16864 I don't think I can help you, boy. Best be on your way. |
| 16865 I don't think I can help you, boy. Best be on your way. |
| 16866 I don't think I can help you, boy. Best be on your way. |
| 16867 I don't think I can help you, boy. Best be on your way. |
| 16868 Iâ€â€I d-don't know. You'd have to talk to Minister Lloyd. He's the mayor. |
| 16869 Very well, I'll do that. I'll go to your village and see if I can't fix things. |
| 16870 Well, the reward had better be worth it. I'll go to your village and see what I can do. |
| 16871 I'll go nowhere without knowing the reward involved. Count me out. |
| 16872 You would?! Oh, wonderful! Thank you so much! When you get to Imnesvale, talk to Minister Lloyd! He can tell you everything else! Thank you, <SIRMAAM>! |
| 16873 I'm sure it will be! Oh, thank you ever so much! |
| 16874 Very well. I will go to your village and see what I can do to help. |
| 16875 Excuse me, I've got to be going. |
| 16876 Oh, hello again, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 16877 Tell me where you're from, boy, and what the problem seems to be. |
| 16878 Thank you for helping out my village! Um, er, shouldn't you be going there? |
| 16879 Ahh, but it was... indirectly. Things like this seem to surround you at every turn, even if you are not the active participant. That is why you are here. |
| 16880 You! What are you doing down here?! This is a restricted area! Leave immediately or face the consequences! |
| 16881 What's going on down here? What are all these cells? |
| 16882 Who are you, might I ask? |
| 16883 I'm allowed to be here. I'm one of Lehtinan's special guests. |
| 16884 I'll go where I like. Stand aside! |
| 16885 All right, all right, I'm leaving. No need to get violent. |
| 16886 I warned you, fool! Guards! Intruders! |
| 16887 Leave immediately! |
| 16888 Winthrop |
| 16889 Winthrop |
| 16890 You have been warned! Guards! Intruders! |
| 16891 Eh? I don't recognize you? Who are you? |
| 16892 I am one of Lehtinan's guests. What is this place? |
| 16893 It doesn't matter who I am. Who are you? |
| 16894 I am here to free the gladiators from their cells. Hand over the keys! |
| 16895 Perhaps I'll just leave. Excuse me. |
| 16896 Fool! You'll never escape here alive! Come, Tabitha! Come... open the cages! Aid your master! |
| 16897 Hmph! This is where the creatures for the pit fights are kept, and I am their keeper. You are not allowed in here. Your smell will upset and disturb my darling Tabitha. Leave at once! |
| 16898 But I'm afraid your smell will upset my darling Tabitha, so you are going to have to leave now. |
| 16899 Yes, out you go, before you upset my Tabitha even more. Out, out! |
| 16900 Your "Tabitha" should not only be upset, it should be put to death! As should you! |
| 16901 I'll go where I like, so watch your tone with me. |
| 16902 Very well then, I'll be on my way. |
| 16903 Bah! I have had enough of your insolence! It is time to feed my Tabitha anyway! Come... open the cages... attack! |
| 16904 I'll do more than upset your Tabitha, I'll destroy all of your creatures to end this wanton cruelty! |
| 16905 Do not attempt to order me around, half-elf, or you will anger me. |
| 16906 Very well, I'll be going now. |
| 16907 Insolent! Did I not tell you to leave?! Bah! It is time to feed my Tabitha now anyway. Come... open the cages... attack! |
| 16908 Have ye seen th' bleedin' ball? 'Tis huge! |
| 16909 That huge round thing appeared in the northwest part o' the slums a few weeks ago. I wonder what th' guards is going to do about it? |
| 16910 Have ye seen th' sphere in the north end o' the slums? |
| 16911 That big ball appeared out o' nowhere a few weeks back! Me gramma's house used t' be there... I wonder if it's still inside. |
| 16912 They should be burnin' up that black ball, they should! It's evil, I just knows it! |
| 16913 Oh, hello. Have you taken a look at the planar sphere? It's absolutely marvelous! |
| 16914 One can hardly miss it. Exactly what is a planar sphere? |
| 16915 I suppose so. I'll be on my way. |
| 16916 Um hmmm. Mmm. |
| 16917 It is meant to be a planar-traveling device of some sort, or at least that's what Lavok's apprentice is reported to have said. |
| 16918 Who is this Lavok? Did he come back with the sphere? |
| 16919 How does one get inside it? |
| 16920 Five hundred years ago? How long has this thing been here? |
| 16921 Well, that's very interesting and all, but I'll be on my way. |
| 16922 Er, until now, I suppose. If Lavok is actually inside this or not, well, nobody knows. |
| 16923 Well now, that's what nobody seems to be able to figure out. I can't see any kind of entrance. Even the Cowled Wizards seem to be confused, and they've been here numerous times to study it. |
| 16924 There's been no word or any kind of action from the sphere since. It's a rather intriguing mystery. |
| 16925 Nobody knows? Can't you get inside? |
| 16926 Just how long has this sphere been here? |
| 16927 Well, that is interesting. Excuse me. |
| 16928 Who is this Lavok, anyway? |
| 16929 How long has the sphere been here? |
| 16930 The Cowled Wizards? |
| 16931 Well, I suppose I'll be going, then. |
| 16932 Who is this Lavok person again? |
| 16933 A mystery? Can't you get inside the thing? |
| 16934 Indeed it is. I'll be on my way. |
| 16935 Every mage I've seen has been quite upset about their failure as well. Just goes to show you that magic can't solve all your problems. |
| 16936 Where would I be able to find these Cowled Wizards? |
| 16937 I suppose not. Thanks for all the information. |
| 16938 Mmm. Oh, er, yes, the wizards. Well, I'm not quite sure. I think they're in the government sector somewhere, but who knows exactly? Mmm. You'll have to excuse me. |
| 16939 Could you tell me who this Lavok is? |
| 16940 So how long has the sphere been here? |
| 16941 Well, thank you, I'll be on my way. |
| 16942 Mmm. Mm hmmm. I see, yes. Oh, hello there again. |
| 16943 Greetings. I was wondering if you could tell me about this sphere? |
| 16944 I was just passing by. Excuse me. |
| 16945 Lavok was a wizard and merchant of great wealth. He built this planar sphere, but it disappeared three years after construction began, along with all his confidantes. |
| 16946 Imprisonment |

| 16948 Phantasmal Killer |
| 16949 I'll try, Hendak. Wait here. |
| 16950 By Helm's arse... your sickly little fleabag actually won. Take yer bloody winnings and begone, then. |
| 16951 Would that I could help you... may the gods grant you speed and strength to aid your task! |
| 16952 You lose, pansy. Get outta my face. |
| 16953 I'll go an' round up the beastie. Once I bring 'em back, you can get in the pit and watch the fight. Wait here. |
| 16954 These people are being kept here against their will... forced to fight daily. Would you leave us here to die, knowing you could have done something? |
| 16955 I myself have nothing to offer but gratitude, but when I take this inn, my gratitude may be worth more to you. I ask you again, then... will you free us? |
| 16956 Well, I've got nobody to fight. How much do these matches cost? |
| 16957 That sounds horrid! Why would you do such a thing? |
| 16958 Oh. Well, I'm not interested. Excuse me. |
| 16959 I ain't got no time for tree-huggin' pansies wettin' their sheets over a legitimate enterprise. Now get lost. |
| 16960 Get lost, then, and don't bother Surly with yer problems. |
| 16961 Save vs Spell : 17 |
| 16962 I will not fight! This is inhuman! How can you suffer this to continue?! How can you |
| 16963 Lower Resistance |
| 16964 You will fight because you are a slave and you have been told to fight! Refuse and be devoured for the amusement of our guests! |
| 16965 The slavers bring us here to be sold to Lehtinan and used as fighters in his arena. Hendak has sworn to kill them all. |
| 16966 Please free us! Hendak can tell you how! |
| 16967 Magic Resistance Lowered |
| 16968 Have mercy! We are being kept as slaves to die! |
| 16969 Breach |
| 16970 Mind Fog |
| 16971 Please help us! We are slaves meant to be butchered! |
| 16972 We must free these men. Slavery is unconscionable and evil, and we must do what we can to stop it! |
| 16973 Spellstrike |
| 16974 Help us, if you are able! We beg you! |
| 16975 We've got to do something! We've got to help them! |
| 16976 Ribald Barterman at yer service. My Adventurer Mart is the finest shopping in all Faerûn: widest selection, lowest prices, and nary a fancy illustration. Just the goods, bare and plain. |
| 16978 No thanks, we're just looking right now. |
| 16979 Yes, there are some items we're interested in. |
| 16980 Maybe later. This place is too damn big to make a decision quite yet. |
| 16981 What a dump. You'd have to pay me to haul anything out of here. |
| 16982 Well then, I be trapped behind the counter here twiddling me thumbs, so if it grabs you, entices you, thrills you, or disgusts you, ye know where I'll be to help you pack it up then. |
| 16983 Music to me ears! There's a customer born every minute, and a rube soon after. What'll it be for ye today? |
| 16984 We are. We've catalogues and an army of scribes to keep up with demand. Thirty-three years in the same location. Old Ribald knows half his customers by name. I'll be here. |
| 16985 One man's meat's another goon's murder, eh? Each to his own then. If ye change yer thinks, I'll be hereabouts. |
| 16986 I intend to. What exactly was the problem again? |
| 16987 I'll go as soon as I'm able to. Excuse me. |
| 16988 Don't bother me, boy. |
| 16989 Oh, hullo, can I help you? Actually... hmmmn... perhaps you can help me. |
| 16990 Help you? Who are you, and what do you mean? |
| 16991 I've no interest in speaking to you at the moment. Excuse me. |
| 16992 Well, that's unfortunate. Perhaps another time, then. |
| 16993 I am a messenger sent by the High Merchant of Trademeet to find someone to help our town. You look like adventurers... you might be just the sort of help we need. |
| 16994 Who is this High Merchant? |
| 16995 The Storehouse |
| 16996 The Inner Grounds |
| 16997 West to Candlekeep |
| 16998 Telescope |
| 16999 Telescope |
| 17000 Helm guides my path. |
| 17001 What sort of trouble is this town in? What would I be expected to do? |
| 17002 I've no time to take on this sort of adventure. You'll have to excuse me. |
| 17003 Bah! More whining! Get lost! |
| 17004 Well, I suppose I was mistaken, then. Sorry to have bothered you. |
| 17005 You are blunt, as is your life... an existence pushing through everything in its path. That is why you are here, because of who and what you are. |
| 17006 He is Lord Logan Coprith, mayor and High Merchant of Trademeet. He's willing to offer a substantial reward for anyone who can help Trademeet out of its... difficulties. |
| 17007 The town is under attack by forest animals. The High Merchant thinks druids may be responsible, but we haven't the manpower to find them and stop it. |
| 17008 You are astute. What could possibly overshadow your heritage as a matter of concern? I will outline exactly what I wish to know. |
| 17009 How much of a reward are we talking, here? |
| 17010 What kind of difficulties are you referring to? |
| 17011 Where is this town? |
| 17012 I'm not able to help out right now. Excuse me. |
| 17013 No need to scold, Jaheira, <PRO_HESHE> was just trying to turn the conversation in <PRO_HISHER> favor. No, you are here because of who and what you are. |
| 17014 Then I shall keep you waiting no longer, though I am certain you do indeed know why we are concerned about you. |
| 17015 I'm not sure how much it is, but it will be a large one. Lord Logan is wealthy and desperate for some help, you see. |
| 17016 Here, I can show you on your map. Do you think you might be able to help us? |
| 17017 Mind yourself, <CHARNAME>, this is very serious. |
| 17018 Let me ask you a few things straight away, <CHARNAME>. Nothing too intrusive, I assure you. What are your earliest memories? Are they happy ones? |
| 17019 Why would druids be attacking Trademeet? I've never heard of such a thing. |
| 17020 Who is this High Merchant you're talking about? |
| 17021 How much of a reward are we talking about, should I decide to help you out? |
| 17022 Where is this town? |
| 17023 I don't think I can help you out right now. Excuse me. |
| 17024 The townsfolk are growing angry, however, and Lord Logan wishes to resolve this before anything unfortunate occurs. |
| 17025 Running, hmm? No doubt from your past. I remember Gorion... the idealist. I was with those who thought it was a mistake. Ahh... I will clarify later. |
| 17026 Who is this Lord Logan again? |
| 17027 Tell me what help you need. Exactly what kind of trouble is this town in? |
| 17028 Where is this town? |
| 17029 Hm. I don't think I can help you right now. Excuse me. |
| 17030 Yes, I think I can. I've been known to deal with such things in the past. |
| 17031 I don't know. I'll have to think about it. |
| 17032 I remember running, but I am not sure from what exactly. My stepfather Gorion led the way. |
| 17033 I haven't the time right now. Excuse me. |
| 17034 No, I'm not interested. |
| 17035 Well, I'll be here if you change your mind or if you need to ask any more questions. This is the first peace I've had since I left Trademeet. *sigh* |
| 17036 Well, I remember coming in that door behind me. Beyond that, it is all a blur. Sorry. |
| 17037 I do not have to answer your questions. You know so much about me already; why are you bothering with this? |
| 17038 Excellent! I'll send word to Lord Logan to expect you. Thank you for your assistance. |
| 17039 Do you have reason for intruding on my private thoughts? I should like to hear it. |
| 17040 Who is this Lord Logan you speak of? |
| 17041 Suppose I do decide to help you. How much compensation am I looking at? |
| 17042 Where is Trademeet? |
| 17043 I don't think I can help you right now. Excuse me. |
| 17044 Eh? Er, hello again. Changed your mind, have you? |
| 17045 I'm not sure. Tell me again who you are and what you're doing here. |
| 17046 You are very combative. Not good. Not good at all. This only supports my position, as I knew it would. Next question then. |
| 17047 No, not yet. Excuse me. |
| 17048 Ah! Hello again! Should you not be on your way to Trademeet, my friend? |
| 17049 I need you to tell me again what is going on there. |
| 17050 How much is the reward, should I decide to help you out? |
| 17051 Yes, excuse me. |
| 17053 Joia |
| 17054 A ring is a small band of precious metal that is used as jewelry. Some rare rings have had enchantments placed upon them that confer various magical abilities. These rings are highly sought after, especially by those of the adventuring profession. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 17055 Actually, I've changed my mind. I can't help you out. |
| 17056 Joia |
| 17057 Excellent news. Then I can stay and enjoy the ale of this marvelous place. |
| 17058 Oh, that is unfortunate. Hm. Well, I'll send word, I suppose. Do let me know if you change your mind. The town really does need someone like you. |
| 17059 A Note from Mazzy Fentan |
| 17060 Please, <CHARNAME>, do not make this difficult for yourself. |
| 17061 No coaching, my dear, he will answer as he must. On to the next question then. |
| 17062 Evasive answer. Illustrates your deceptive nature, I am sure. Not good. Next question. |
| 17063 As a child of Bhaal, have you... violent thoughts? |
| 17064 Maybe ye can make up th' business by rentin' rooms to them ogres, aye? How about cleanin' up after them fellers, aye? |
| 17065 Hey, bosses! Ye've th' look of peoples wit discrom... discrimer... uh, good tastes. Lookin' fer a bit o' dandies, undies, and exotic stuffs? Eh? Jayes ain't got all day, peoples. |
| 17066 A moment, friend. You are obviously not aligned with our captors. Might I know your name? |
| 17067 Tell me, Jayes, what would one be doing selling "exotic" items in an alley? Would you, perchance, be dealing in less than legal merchandise? |
| 17068 Tanar'ri |
| 17069 Tanar'ri |
| 17070 I'm interested. What do you have? |
| 17071 Silence, ignoramus! Begone from my sight and bother me no more! |
| 17072 No more so than the next person. I use violence where I must and avoid it when I can. |
| 17073 I'm having several right now. Really good ones too. You'd laugh if you could see them. Well, no, maybe YOU wouldn't. |
| 17074 That is a loaded question. Violence is part of our world. It is unavoidable in some measure. |
| 17075 Hmm... must use violence. To be expected from one with such a despicable heritage. |
| 17076 My name is <CHARNAME>, and I am certainly not aligned with Lehtinan and his men. Who are you? |
| 17077 My name is my own business. What is it that you wish? |
| 17078 I've no time to waste speaking with you. |
| 17079 Wait, wait! Do not leave us here! I sense you are a soul that will not let us rot here. Please, you must certainly have prowess enough to release us! |
| 17080 I beg of you, please free us! I have never begged before, and yet I do it now so I might wreak vengeance on Lehtinan and end his sick and twisted enterprise! |
| 17081 I have done what I can to aid these other slaves and keep them living through the battles that Lehtinan puts on to amuse his noble fiends. |
| 17082 Are you always this uncooperative? Yes, I suppose you would be. Basic nature to be objectionable. Not good. Next question. |
| 17083 I have little taste for it myself. Very well. I will attempt to free you if I can. |
| 17084 I have no argument with Lehtinan. Why should I free you? |
| 17085 I do not think I can help you right now. You will have to remain where you are. |
| 17086 You are twisting <PRO_HISHER> words, Galvarey. That is not what <PRO_HESHE> meant. |
| 17087 I think I rather like seeing a proud man beg. I've nothing against keeping slaves, Hendak, so you'll remain in your cage where you belong. |
| 17088 Wadda you want here? Ain't nothing here for public to see. We just take care of cleanin' the sewers and such. |
| 17089 I suppose I might be able to help you. Tell me who you are first. |
| 17090 Why do you ask the question if you are going to infuse the answer with your own meaning? <CHARNAME> would never... |
| 17091 *sigh* Flattery, is it? Tell me what you want and be quick with it. |
| 17092 Never what? You are clouded by personal feelings. He may not think like us at all. Can you understand an illithid? Or a beholder? He is akin to these. |
| 17093 Thank you, but I still have no desire to waste time helping you. |
| 17094 Only in your mind. This is a farce! |
| 17095 The questions will continue nonetheless. I do hope there will be no further outbursts. |
| 17096 I've nothing against slavery. You'll rot in your cage until somebody decides to release you. |
| 17097 Deception is woven into <PRO_HISHER> very being, Jaheira. Can you comprehend the thoughts of an illithid? Or a beholder? Your <CHARNAME> is akin to these. |
| 17098 I truly hope that you will be able to, friend. The beastmaster has the key to our cells. If you get the key from him, we will be able to escape! |
| 17099 If I kill the bastard Lehtinan, I intend to take over the inn to ensure that no one else uses it like this. I will offer what help I can once that occurs. |
| 17100 Now then, <CHARNAME>, what is your favorite color? |
| 17101 Hmm... finds that violence is unavoidable. Certainly to be expected in a creature such as you. |

| 17230 The cursed girdle of gender, a rare yet oft-discussed magical item, is wrought with a most powerful magic. Anyone unfortunate enough to secure it around their waist instantly finds their gender to be transformed.

| 17232 A typical manual of gainful exercise provides the reader with a strictly regimented routine of daily stretches and tests designed to increase muscle bulk. As if this isn't enough, the manual is also magically enhanced, thereby allowing an individual to raise his or her Strength by a single point. Unfortunately, the manual will disappear after a single use. STATISTICS: Strength: Raised by 1 point permanently Special: The book is consumed upon use Usage: Place into quick item slot Weight: 25 |
| 17233 A typical manual of quickness of action provides the reader with a wide variety of tips and pointers regarding the motion and coordination of one's hands and feet. This small tome is much in demand by people from many walks of life, including rogues wishing to improve their slight-of-hand and paladins wanting to perfect their thrust and parry. The secret of such a manual lies in its magical nature, as it permits an individual to raise his or her Dexterity by a single point. Unfortunately, the manual will disappear after a single use.

| 17238 One of the most popular recent tomes of leadership and influence is the cynically entitled book "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Like others of its ilk, it peddles a philosophy of personal ascendancy and manipulation by charisma alone. The authors and advocates of such tomes claim that, by drawing on the most recent theories in sociology and interpersonal psychology, it is possible to raise an individual's Charisma by a single point. In truth, such increases in personal charisma are the product of magical spells placed on the text as it is in the writing process. These same spells also cause the tome to disappear after their first use. An excellent marketing strategy, you must concede...

| 17239 A typical tome of understanding contains a sober, if dry analysis of legal battles, historic events, government policies, philosophical treatises, and theories of magic and metaphysics. While rarely interesting to anyone outside of their already well-educated niche market, it is said that some such tomes have even added a single point to the Wisdom of certain half-ogres. Such marvels, however, are the product of a potent magic placed upon the tome as it is being written. Unfortunately, this same magic causes the tome to disappear after a single use.

| 17240 This simple cloak has been imbued with some small magical properties to help protect its wearer. It does so by affecting both Saving Throws and Armor Class. It is ideal for Mages and others who cannot wear bulkier or more restrictive types of armor. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +1 – Saving Throws: +1 Weight: 3 |
| 17241 The Cloak of Displacement is a magical item that causes subtle shifts in the image of its wearer. It has the power to actually shift an individual's image by as much as six inches in any direction from their actual location. Aside from being an effective defense in combat situations, it has also been the cause of serious eyestrain amongst fellow party members.

| 17243 The fabled Nymph Cloak is renowned for its ability to increase the Charisma of even the most surly dwarf. A Cormyrean noble hoping to make her politically convenient marriage more palatable apparently went to great expense to obtain one for herself and another for her husband.

The character can use the abilities of both classes at any time, with only a few restrictions. Only demihumans can be multi-class characters. |
| 17245 MAGE: The wizard strives to be a master of magical energies, shaping them and casting them as spells. To do so, <PRO_HESHE> studies strange tongues and obscure facts and devotes much of <PRO_HISHER> time to magical research. A wizard must rely on knowledge and wit to survive. Wizards are rarely seen adventuring without a retinue of fighters and men-at-arms. Because there are different types (or schools) of magic, there are different types of wizards. The Mage studies all types of magic and learns a wide variety of spells; <PRO_HISHER> broad range makes <PRO_HIMHER> well suited to the demands of adventuring. CLASS FEATURES: – May not wear any armor. – May only use the following weapons: dagger, quarterstaff, dart, sling. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any weapon class. – May not place any slots in any fighting style. – May cast arcane spells. – Hit Die: d4 Prime Requisites For Dual-Classing: Intelligence |
| 17246 The cursed Helm of Opposite Alignment is a truly fearsome item. As its name suggests, it has the power to alter the fundamental ethical framework, nay, the very identity of anyone unlucky enough to wear it. It can ruin homes, friendships, even entire cities or nations. Should the legions of evil ever force one onto the head of a benevolent solar, the multiverse, as we know it, will surely meet an abrupt and painful end. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Alignment will become opposite – Protects against critical hits – May only be removed with a Remove Curse spell Weight: 2 |

| 17256 In their role as protectors of good, Rangers tend to focus their efforts against some particular creature, usually one that marauds their homeland. Before advancing to second level, every Ranger must select a racial enemy. Thereafter, whenever the Ranger encounters that enemy, <PRO_HESHE> gains bonuses to <PRO_HISHER> hit and damage rolls against them. Make your selection based on what would be an appropriate match for your character concept. EFFECTS: +4 bonus to hit and damage rolls vs. racial enemy. |
| 17257 This idol depicts Kozah the Stormstar, a long-extinct god who was venerated and feared among the less-powerful strata of ancient Netherese society. Worship of this god of storms, earthquakes, strife, and rebellion was outlawed by many of the civilization's powerful archwizards. Many Kozahyn shrines and temples were therefore built in secretive, underground locations where the devout were better able to escape detection. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |

| 17276 The Golden Pantaloons did surely see the very beginnings of our realm, though I must press that they "saw" this formative time by their simple presence, and not through some vestigial eyes that might have erupted through a rear pocket perhaps concealing teeth and other improbable extremities. I am sure that the various owners of the pantaloons can attest to the general lack of animated digits or ocular sensors, as evidenced by the continued sanctity and privacy maintained by their respective buttocks. Lyric pantoums of an age long since out of print speak of "trousers that were as metal, though soft about the shanks." While it might be easy to jump to the seemingly inevitable conclusion that the trousers rose while Netheril fell, it is doubtful that the Pantaloons were the garments of which they speak. One must clarify these oft misquoted verses with knowledge of the Pantechnicon, an ancient bazaar once prized for Silver Pantalettes. Fine these may have been, but golden they were not. Nickel Panties are also said to be currently available, though the dockside establishments that claim to offer these products are beyond my meager experience, and thus I can make no report. The purpose of the Pantaloons is as mysterious as ever, and will likely remain so until the Pantocrator himself returns, though some properties can be divined though intimate observation. The "uplifting" properties of the gusset very nearly defy gravity, shaping quite nicely both the front and rear. This improved contour would likely increase self-esteem for a wearer of either sex. I would hazard a guess, however, that this continuing self delusion might actually hamper cognitive functions, and care should be taken in the wearing of any pantaloons of golden nature.

| 17348 Cacofiend (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Range: 35 ft. Duration: 15 rounds Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, it teleports in a powerful fiend that will go on a rampage and attack everything in sight. Anyone under the effects of a Protection From Evil spell or scroll will not be targeted by the fiend. This is a dangerous spell to invoke, best saved for desperate times. |
| 17349 I'm sorry, Hendak, but I just cannot help you right now. |
| 17350 Now you are really stretching! What of clouds that bring life to the soil, or the purity of undyed wool?! You see what you wish; the answer does not matter! |
| 17351 It is a terrible thing to remain a captive and a slave. I hope you think on this, my friend. |
| 17352 Gate (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 9 Range: 30 ft. Duration: 33 rounds Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None By means of this spell, the caster calls an outer-planar creatureâ€â€the pit fiendâ€â€to attack <PRO_HISHER> foes as well as <PRO_HIMHER>self, if <PRO_HESHE>'s not careful. The caster must use a Protection From Evil spell on <PRO_HIMHER>self (and comrades) to keep the devil from noticing <PRO_HIMHER>. If the caster fails to protect <PRO_HIMHER>self in this manner, the pit fiend will tear the caster and <PRO_HISHER> companions apart piece by piece, then feast on the remains. |
| 17353 I suppose in part it does not matter. Obviously, this person causes much disturbance where'er <PRO_HESHE> goes. My interview is just to clarify the matter. |
| 17354 We are free, my brothers! Go now and free the women! Hendak will strike his blade into the heart of our so-called owner, so that he shall never trouble you again! Go and savor your freedom! |

| 17357 Well, that's gratitude for you. You aren't going to abandon me here, are you? We have to stay together! I... I feel it! |
| 17358 Praise be! We are free! Free at last! |

This fiend will attack everyone in the area who is not protected by a Protection From Evil spell. Only desperate or suicidal wizards use this spell. |
| 17362 Symbol, Fear (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 8 Range: 90 ft. Duration: Special Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. Symbol, Fear is a powerful enchantment that allows the wizard to inscribe a symbol on the ground or any other surface.

| 17450 Indeed, Galvarey, what is it you intend? This is not as we had discussed... |
| 17451 You thought you would bring him here and I would determine he presented no danger? My dear, your emotions have clouded your duty. |
| 17452 My... what?! You are questioning me?! You subject him to this... this witch hunt and you think I am the one that is to be questioned? |
| 17453 Well, your mood confirms it. My dear, as a Harper... as a DRUID, how can you allow <PRO_HIMHER> to walk around freely? Think of the effects on balance! |
| 17454 And what if <PRO_HESHE> will restore the balance? What if <PRO_HISHER> intent is good? |
| 17455 It is simply not worth the risk. No, there is no choice in the matter. <CHARNAME>, you are to be... confined. |
| 17456 No, but you only needed to know enough to bring them here. Extraneous information would have endangered the mission. As Harpers, we... |
| 17457 As Harpers, we respect others! |
| 17458 We have a greater duty to maintain the balance. How can you, as a Harper... as a DRUID, sanction the freedom of this person? What will <PRO_HESHE> do to the balance? |
| 17459 It is as good as death and you know it, Galvarey! |
| 17460 Nothing so barbaric. Imprisonment to contain the chaos <PRO_HESHE> might sow, either intentionally or unwittingly. It is a humane solution. |
| 17461 Sounds monstrous to me! I will not have it! You'll never get me in any cell! |
| 17462 And where am I to be locked away? I hope someplace with a view? |
| 17463 And you assume I will submit to this? That is not very likely. |
| 17464 No, <CHARNAME>, I mean the spell "imprisonment." You will find yourself in a small container a few leagues under the earth. Quite peaceful. |
| 17465 This will not happen! I will fight to the last! You will not contain me! |
| 17466 You've no right to do this. I will not allow it. |
| 17467 You are welcome to try, but I doubt you shall succeed. I am in the right here! |

| 17469 Nay, Galvarey, there is but you and your four lackeys. I will have no part in this! |
| 17470 Here then, what do you want? Don't be bothering my concentration, I've lots of work to get done after my nap. |

| 17474 I had hoped... I had hoped you would, but I do not wish you to harm your friends. |
| 17475 So... so be it, then. I will... I must not... I will have no part in either side of this! |
| 17476 Quite the effect you have on the ladies, <CHARNAME>. It suits your nature. Defend yourself if you must, but I intend to prevent your madness from spreading! |
| 17477 These are no friends of mine! I do not recognize them! |
| 17478 You have made a mistake, Jaheira. With <PRO_HISHER> imprisonment, I could get sponsored as Herald! But now you fight the Harpers with this monster! |
| 17479 Harpers may interfere, but it is for the greater good! Not this! I don't know you! |
| 17480 <CHARNAME>, you are my comrade in arms. I know you are good and true in heart. I will fight with you against this! |
| 17481 <CHARNAME>, I am Harper. I cannot fight by your side against my own, but I will not take part in this! I... I cannot side with either. Goodbye. |
| 17482 The fervor you inspire is dangerous, <CHARNAME>. Your imprisonment will help stop the spread of such chaos. When I am Herald, things will change. |
| 17483 What'll I get for... Hey, I know you; you know Jaheira. I heard she betrayed the Harpers! You was probably there; what happened? Say it ain't so. |
| 17484 It ain't so, Bernard, it ain't so. They were as corrupt as... well... as this place here. |

| 17486 Suit yourself. |
| 17487 I gets ya. The right move ain't always the popular one. Still, it's a shame, ain't it? Wonder if it coulda turned out different. I wonder. |

Sunstone can be colorless or faintly greenish and of facet grade, but most common by far is its softer (cabochon) variety.

Iols are usually cut into faceted gems to best display the stone's color change as it is viewed from different directions. Small, cut iols can be clear, but larger specimens usually contain silky inclusions of another substance such as hematite crystals, which give the same rich golden flash of color as in sunstones.

| 17517 A favorite of the frugal business traveler, rooms of this type are basic but comfortable. A good solid mattress and clean linen, for when one must awaken presentable, but not so pampered as to promote oversleeping. |
| 17518 Are you sure you want to remove this character from the party? |
| 17519 A truly luxurious experience at an equally exorbitant price. Beds filled with the softest down, draped with the finest Calimshan silks and linens. Nearly as restful as a week in a lesser room, though who but royalty could afford the cost? |
| 17520 Pearls consist of layers of aragonite agonizingly formed around a bit of grit or other irritant inside oysters and other mollusks. The resulting pearl has a rich, deep luster. Most of the pearls in the realms are white; however there are varieties that are much more rare such as rainbow and black. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 17521 These rooms are of excellent quality at a somewhat reasonable price, and a definite luxury for those accustomed to sleeping under an open sky. None but the most pampered dandy would have complaints with these accommodations. |
| 17522 Sphene is a soft, brittle gemstone (and, like scapra, easily worked by unskilled cutters) of various yellow to green shades, the most prized of these being a fine emerald green. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 17523 A protection scroll is a set of magical runes imprinted on enchanted parchment. These scrolls are unique in that any class of character can read them, whether adept in magic or not. When the runes are read aloud, the protective magic is released upon the target of the reader's choice. These scrolls can have a wide variety of beneficial effects, though care should be taken with scrolls gained from suspicious sources. |
| 17524 Black opal has a greenish hue with black mottling and gold flecks. Usually found in ancient hot springs, the gem is tumbled smooth and cut cabochon. The phrase in the north "black as an opal" is used as a subtle form of praise for kind-hearted rogues and the like. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 17525 Water opal is a colorless, clear opal with a play of color. It is rare and valuable in the realms, where it is used in scrying devices. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |

| 17531 King's tears are very rare and found only in the realms, where they are sometimes called frozen tears. Clear, teardrop-shaped, smooth-surfaced, and totally unbreakable so far by any means, these stones are said to be the crystallized tears of long-dead necromancer kings. In each gem can be seen that which the weeping king loved long ago. Their true nature is unknown, but suffice it to say that sages prize these gems above all others. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 17532 A small, shifting, rainbow colored, iridescent gemstone. The fluid shades of color appear almost liquid under normal sunlight; it is truly a beautiful sight to behold. Rogue stones are extremely rare and are used for the gemjump spell, hence one of the most sought after gems in the realms. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |

| 17534 These arrows were enhanced through magical means when they were created. They appear slightly straighter than the average arrow, almost alive as they effortlessly leave your bow and streak towards their target with deadly accuracy. STATISTICS: THAC0: +2 Damage: 1d6 (missile) Launcher: Bow Weight: 0 |

In this case, the unlucky being is the ogre mage. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – Slay ogre mage upon touch THAC0: +15 Damage: 1d6 (missile) Launcher: Bow Weight: 0 |

| 17540 This is a magical arrow that will burst into flames as it is fired at an enemy. The effect is similar to an arrow doused in oil and set to flame. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d6, +1d2 fire damage (Save vs. Spell for none) Damage type: Missile Launcher: Bow Weight: 0 |
| 17541 This arrow is long and thin, imbued with magical properties that allow it to "push" itself through armor, striking out towards the heart of the victim. STATISTICS: THAC0: +4 Damage: 1d6, +6 piercing damage (Save vs. Death for none) Damage type: Missile Launcher: Bow Weight: 0 |

| 17582 PALADIN MELEE : |
| 17583 The Paladin will attack enemies, following them if necessary. If companions are injured, the Paladin will attempt to heal them with spells or Lay On Hands. (<script>) |
| 17584 RANGER RANGED: |
| 17585 The Ranger will attempt to keep a distance between <PRO_HIMHER>self and enemies, firing with ranged weapons if possible. If injured, <PRO_HESHE> will attempt to hide and drink healing potions before returning to battle. (<script>) |
| 17586 SPELLCASTER ATTACK (Fighter, Ranger, Paladin): |
| 17587 The Fighter will attempt to slay any Mages or Clerics. This Fighter will use missile weapons first, if possible, using melee only if surrounded by enemies. (<script>) |
| 17588 SPELLCASTER DEFEND (Fighter, Ranger, Paladin): |
| 17589 The Fighter will act like a normal Fighter, attacking enemies with whatever weapon is equipped. If a Mage or Cleric in the party is injured to 50% of its Hit Points, the Fighter will defend them, attacking their attackers. (<script>) |
| 17590 THIEF AGGRESSIVE: |
| 17591 The Thief will attempt to Hide In Shadows when an enemy is not in sight. As soon as the Thief is hidden, <PRO_HESHE> will attempt to backstab the closest enemy. (<script>) |
| 17592 THIEF DEFENSIVE: |
| 17593 The Thief will attack any enemies <PRO_HESHE> notices who are attacking party members (including <PRO_HIMHER>self). If the Thief is reduced to 50% or fewer Hit Points, then <PRO_HESHE> will run away and then attempt to Hide In Shadows and avoid combat. (<script>) |
| 17594 THIEF ADVENTURER: |
| 17595 The Thief will constantly, and to the exclusion of all else, search for traps. If attacked, the Thief ignores enemies and will continue detecting traps. (<script>) |
| 17596 THIEF SCOUT: |
| 17597 The scout Thief will try to stay hidden. This script is useful if you need to use your Thief to explore areas but don't want them attacking every enemy they encounter. They will only engage in combat if an enemy detects their presence. (<script>) |
| 17598 WIZARD AGGRESSIVE (Bard): |
| 17599 The Mage will begin casting offensive spells against any enemy as soon as <PRO_HESHE> sees them. The Mage must have an offensive spell memorized for <PRO_HIMHER> to cast a spell. If <PRO_HESHE> does not have an offensive spell memorized, then <PRO_HESHE> will remain where <PRO_HESHE> is standing and use any missile weapon that <PRO_HESHE> possesses. If an enemy engages <PRO_HIMHER> in melee combat, then <PRO_HESHE> will attack them with <PRO_HISHER> melee weapon. (<script>) |
| 17600 WIZARD DEFENSIVE (Bard): |
| 17601 As soon as <PRO_HESHE> sees an enemy, <PRO_HESHE> will cast the most powerful defensive spell on <PRO_HIMHER>self (Armor, Shield, Ghost Armor, etc.). The wizard will then begin casting offensive spells at the closest enemies. If at any time <PRO_HESHE> is attacked with a melee weapon, <PRO_HESHE> will run until <PRO_HESHE> is safe. (<script>) |
| 17602 WIZARD DISABLER (Bard): |
| 17603 The disabler Mage will cast a few defensive spells on <PRO_HIMHER>self and then attempt to disable all enemies. Disabling spells include hold, confusion, and maze spells, among others. These spells are useful to disable an enemy group while the Mage's companions move in for the slaughter. (<script>) |
| 17604 WIZARD BERSERK (Bard): |
| 17605 The Mage will begin casting offensive spells against any enemy as soon as <PRO_HESHE> sees them. The Mage must have an offensive spell memorized for <PRO_HIMHER> to cast a spell. If <PRO_HESHE> does not have an offensive spell memorized, then <PRO_HESHE> will draw a melee weapon and attack the closest enemy. This is a dangerous script, as a Mage does not have the armor or Hit Points to survive long in melee combat. (<script>) |
| 17606 CLERIC AGGRESSIVE (Druid): |
| 17607 The Cleric will begin casting offensive spells against any enemy as soon as <PRO_HESHE> sees them. The Cleric must have an offensive spell memorized for <PRO_HIMHER> to cast a spell. If <PRO_HESHE> does not have an offensive spell memorized, then <PRO_HESHE> will remain where <PRO_HESHE> is standing and use any missile weapon that <PRO_HESHE> possesses. If <PRO_HESHE> does not have a missile weapon, then <PRO_HESHE> will engage the closest enemy with a melee weapon. (<script>) |
| 17608 CLERIC DEFENSIVE (Druid): |
| 17609 The Cleric will cast defensive spells on <PRO_HIMHER>self and then move about the battlefield, healing <PRO_HISHER> companions. If necessary, <PRO_HESHE> will defend <PRO_HIMHER>self, attacking with ranged or melee weapons depending on how close <PRO_HISHER> enemies are to <PRO_HIMHER>. (<script>) |
| 17610 DRUID OFFENSIVE/DEFENSIVE (Cleric): |
| 17611 The Druid will first cast defensive spells on <PRO_HIMHER>self (Iron Skins, etc.). The Druid will then use offensive spells and also try to heal any injured party members. (<script>) |
| 17612 DRUID SUMMONING (Cleric): |
| 17613 The Druid will cast a few spells on <PRO_HIMHER>self for protection purposes. To defeat <PRO_HISHER> enemies, <PRO_HESHE> will summon animals. The Druid prefers ranged weapons, but will engage in melee if necessary. The Druid will not cast healing spells. (<script>) |

| 17618 I suppose you're right. What kind of reward might I expect from a task of this kind, then? |
| 17619 That's true. Very well then, I'll not allow such a place to exist while I do. |
| 17620 Regardless, I don't think I can help you right now, Hendak. |
| 17621 Well, that's too bad because I'm not interested. Find somebody else to do it. |
| 17622 All right... I've changed my mind. I'll find these slavers and free those they hold captive. |
| 17623 I'll be on my way then. |
| 17624 It's not as much as the fiend had, but it's plenty, and it's at a significant discount for you. Just speak to Bernard... I still have him handling the store. |
| 17625 Well... all right. I've changed my mind. I'll find these slavers and free the people they hold captive. |
| 17626 Very well, I will be on my way then. |
| 17627 Ah. Good to see you again, of course, my friend. How may Hendak be of assistance? |
| 17628 I was wondering if you could tell me again about the slave compound you mentioned. |
| 17629 I'm just looking to take advantage of your services, please. |
| 17630 Never mind, I'll be going. |
| 17631 Well, as I said, the slavers remain at large within Athkatla, hidden at their base here in the slums. They have many children that are still enslaved. |

| 17643 The longbow is similar to the shortbow, except that the staff is about as tall as the archer isâ€â€usually six to six-and-a-half feet. It has better range and accuracy than the shortbow, but a slower Speed Factor. This one has been enhanced with magical properties, giving it an air of perfection. STATISTICS: THAC0: +2 Speed Factor: 6 Proficiency Type: Longbow Type: Two-handed Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 3 |
| 17644 Rigid Thinking (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 3 Sphere: Law Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 person or mammal Saving Throw: Neg. The target of this spell must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell or come under its effects. When under the effects of the Rigid Thinking spell, the victim will randomly wander, attack the nearest person, or stand confused. |
| 17645 Free Action (Abjuration) Level: 4 Sphere: Charm Range: Touch Duration: 1 turn + 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None While under the effects of this spell, the recipient becomes immune to anything that affects <PRO_HISHER> movement. This includes the effects of Web, Hold Person, Grease, and Entangle. |
| 17646 Neutralize Poison (Necromancy) Level: 4 Sphere: Healing Range: Touch Duration: Instant Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell removes all toxins from the body, both natural and magical in nature. When this spell is cast upon a poisoned individual, it immediately neutralizes any poison and restores 10 lost Hit Points. This spell will also cure any diseases that the target might be suffering from, as well as blindness and deafness. |
| 17647 Skull Trap (Necromancy) Level: 3 Range: 60 ft. Duration: Special Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: 1/2 When this spell is cast, a skull is thrown by the caster at the target area. The skull floats in the area until a creature comes within 20 ft. of it. When this happens, the skull is triggered and explodes damaging everyone within a 30-ft. radius. The damage inflicted is equal to 1d6 per level of the caster, or half with a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell. When casting this spell, it is wise to set it far away from the party lest they set it off accidentally. |
| 17648 Bracers are thick bands of metal or leather that are strapped, belted, or tied to a character's forearm. Generally, the magic that is instilled in bracers is good only during combat, since most bracers help protect the wearer from injury or improve their chances to strike an opponent. Exceptions do exist, though such specialized items are rare at best. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: 8 Weight: 2 |

| 17652 When activated, the wand will eject a missile of magical energy that darts forth and unerringly strikes its target. This includes enemy creatures in a melee. The target creature must be seen or otherwise detected to be hit, however, so near-total concealment, such as that offered by arrow slits, can render the spell ineffective. The missile will inflict 1d4+1 points of damage. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – 1 magic missile will strike the target Damage: 1d4+1 Range: 100 ft. Area of Effect: 1 creature Requires: 9 Intelligence Weight: 1 |
| 17653 When used, this wand shoots forth a thin ray of bluish color to a maximum range of 100 ft.

STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Stun target (Save vs. Wand at -4 penalty negates) Range: 100 ft. Area of Effect: 1 creature Duration: 1 turn Requires: 9 Intelligence Weight: 1 |
| 17654 The wand will cough forth a huge, burning ball of fire that streaks out to the desired range (to a maximum of 90 ft.) and bursts in a fiery, violent blast, just like the Fireball spell. The Fireball inflicts 6d6 points of damage, but all 1s rolled are counted as 2s. The victim(s) may make a Save vs. Wand in order to take only half damage. The second ability of the wand is akin to the spell Agannazar's Scorcher in that a column of flame will streak towards the victim inflicting 6d6+6 damage, with a Save vs. Wand for half. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Fireball Damage: 6d6 fire (Save vs. Wand for half) Range: 90 ft. Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius – Agannazar's Scorcher Damage: 6d6 fire (Save vs. Wand for half) Range: 90 ft. Area of Effect: 1 creature Requires: 9 Intelligence Weight: 1 |
| 17655 A wand of frost acts in a similar fashion to the Cone of Cold spell. Crystallized particles of snow and ice fan out from the wand's tip, defining an area wherein the temperature drops to -100 degrees F. Like all wands, the wand of frost can only be used a limited number of times before it melts into a harmless pool of water. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Cone of Cold Damage: 8d6 cold (Save vs. Wand for half) Range: 100 ft. Area of Effect: 35-ft. cone with 90-deg. arc Requires: 9 Intelligence Weight: 1 |
| 17656 The possessor of the wand can discharge six bolts of lightning, each directed at a target of the user's choosing. As it passes through a creature, a bolt does 3d6 points of damage with a Save vs. Wand for half. Each bolt will continue through its target and proceed to "rebound" until expended. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Six Lightning Bolts Damage: 3d6 electrical (Save vs. Wand for half) Range: 100 ft. Area of Effect: Path of bolts Requires: 9 Intelligence Weight: 1 |
| 17657 This wand will emit a gold beam of energy at its targets up to a maximum range of 80 ft., affecting a 30-ft. radius. If the target creatures fail their Save vs. Wand, they will fall into a deep, comatose sleep for 2 turns. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Sleep (Save vs. Wand negates) Range: 80 ft. Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Duration: 2 turns Requires: 9 Intelligence Weight: 1 |
| 17658 This wand emits a thin, green beam that darts forth to a maximum distance of 5 ft. Any creature touched by this beam must make a Save vs. Wand or be polymorphed into a squirrel. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Polymorph target into squirrel (Save vs. Wand negates) Range: 5 ft. Area of Effect: 1 creature Duration: Permanent (until dispelled) Requires: 9 Intelligence Weight: 1 |
| 17659 The body shield, also known as the kite or tower shield, is a massive metal or wooden shield reaching nearly from the chin to the toe of the user. It must be firmly fastened to the forearm, and the shield hand must firmly grip it at all times. Naturally, this precludes use of the shield hand for anything but holding the body shield in place. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2, an extra +1 vs. missile attacks Requires: 15 Strength Weight: 12 |

| 17662 This potion contains a strange green substance similar to residue you have seen in some of the mining carts. The liquid inside appears to very slightly discolor iron that it comes in contact with, and is likely related to the mysterious "plague" that renders smelted weapons and tools brittle. The kobolds you killed must have tainted all the ore leaving the mine, though it is unlikely they would have concocted this plan themselves. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |

| 17668 Shortbows were the first bows to be developed, although they were not called such. This is more of a default term that refers to anything which is not a longbow. Shortbow staves are about five feet long on the average. As the years passed, attempts were made to increase bow ranges. Bows were either given longer staves or flexibility was increased with no change to the length. The former resulted in what is now called the longbow. This bow is enchanted.

| 17697 Here, child. Here is 100 gold pieces... see if that can't get you and some of these other children back to where you came from. |
| 17698 The tunnel slopes upward into the welcome glare of daylight. Such is your relief that you barely notice the debris at your feet, the remnants of a battle fought only moments before. Surveying the carnage, you hear a scream of rage, and a massive explosion collapses the passage behind you. The sounds of combat greet you as you struggle to your feet. The fight, it seems, is still going strong. |
| 17699 Never mind that, child, just run! |
| 17700 I'm, I'm not sure. I think one of them said that the merchant in Calimport didn't want us anymore. We were worthless, they said. Iâ€â€I think they would have killed us all if you hadn't saved us! |
| 17701 Oh! Oh, you are too kind, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Thisâ€â€this just might get some of us back home. Thank you, truly. |
| 17702 O-okay! Thank you again, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! I am sure the Lady of Joy will smile on you! |
| 17703 Well, here is 100 gold pieces, child. Perhaps that will enable some of you to return to your homes. |
| 17704 I see. Well, you are free now, so run while you can! |
| 17705 Indeed. You are free now... go, while you can! |
| 17706 Hold! And let justice take its rightful measure! You will know this day that you have suffered Harper justice! |
| 17707 It is about time you returned; I have been waiting here for who knows how long! We'd best get back together and get moving; I'll not serve nature or my fallen comrades by sitting about here. |

| 17711 Sorry, but I don't want to rejoin with you just yet. |
| 17712 Your loss, to be sure. I'll be here or in the vicinity. I want to be sure you can find me. We are bound on the same course, though different paths. |
| 17713 Good and done. We should make all speed to our destination. |
| 17714 You have returned to my company, but I no longer know you. Tales of your deeds have spread before you... and the Harpers have kept certain tabs on you at all times. You will find no quarter here! Justice will take you! |
| 17715 Iâ€â€I had hoped to see you again. I... ah, that is, it is good to see you well! I have heard good things... for the most part at least. Shall we team once more? You and I both have much left to do. |
| 17716 I am glad to see you, Jaheira. I was hoping that you would... would consider traveling with me again. |
| 17717 I have need of your skills again, Jaheira. Would you come back to my group? |
| 17718 It will have to wait, Jaheira, I don't need you in the group just yet. |

| 17731 Where is the book then, Korgan? |
| 17732 A body lies upon the table. It appears that he has been experimented upon. It is hard to tell how long he has been dead. |
| 17733 O bold warriors all... the sundial be turnin' on me appointed task, and I prevail upon ye all to hasten it. |
| 17735 I will, but only as a comrade in arms. Perhaps there was a chance for more, but no longer. It is for the best; we have friends to avenge. |
| 17736 Be wary of intruders... there may be a few of the lowlifes lingerin' about inside, stinkin' up the place. |
| 17737 For... yes, for the sake of the group. We have friends to avenge and should get to it. Other... other things will wait. Yes, I will come with you. |
| 17738 We'd be wise to pay a visit to the Copper Coronet, as I've a strong suspicion that the motley crew ain't even out of town just yet. They'll be living the good life 'bout now. |

| 17740 But he has taken the acorns. He knows of our plans. It amuses him. |
| 17741 He has left our acorns with Ilyich. Ilyich is mean! |
| 17742 The best leaders also follow. |
| 17743 Then I suppose I shall have to obtain your acorns from this Ilyich fellow. Who is he, and where can he be found? |
| 17744 This is too much of a bother for me. I cannot help you. |
| 17745 I'm afraid I cannot help you. This will take too much time. |

| 17751 I will get the acorns and return to you. |
| 17752 I will help you if you will help me. I am looking for a flask in order to free a djinni who is trapped in the Plane of Air. Have you seen one? |

| 17754 That will be fine. I would appreciate having one of their own stand by me, though I still don't know why I am needed here. |

| 17809 This seems farfetched, Jaheira. You are well known to have hated Galvarey... and why should this <PRO_MANWOMAN> command such value? |

| 17826 <CHARNAME> has proven that <PRO_HESHE> is not a slave to <PRO_HISHER> origins, just as Galvarey proved that calling oneself a Harper is not enough to make you one in your heart. |

| 17883 Hold and stand! I am charged with the removal of your taint from this land! Feel my wrath and know you have suffered Harper justice! |
| 17884 Again?! I grow tired of these misguided attacks! Can you people not mind your own business? |
| 17885 Have I chance to speak before you inflict your justice upon me? |
| 17886 Is it not enough that you have driven Jaheira from you? Must you continue this pointless exercise? |
| 17887 You have been cursed with lethargy. |
| 17888 I will meet your threat, but know that you are misguided! |
| 17889 It is you that have wronged those who harp! Survivors have placed you at a Harper Hold when all within were killed. Such a crime demands the harshest response! |
| 17890 Ho there! More cowled ones or their servants, no doubt. By the gods, I swear you'll not live to take me to that damnable sphere! |
| 17891 You are correct. We have been hired to bring you to the wizards dead or alive. |
| 17892 I am with the wizards, but they said nothing of a sphere. What do you speak of? |
| 17893 I am no servant of anyone or anything. What are you talking about? |
| 17894 I was attacked by wizards in your home in the city! I would know what this is all about. |
| 17895 I care not! I have breached your walls and seek tribute in gold or blood. You choose. |
| 17896 I'm here on my own, so before you jump to conclusions, I would know your name. |
| 17897 Retribution, is it? Then you are fools indeed! |
| 17898 If you think you are doing anything other than their selfish bidding, then you should think again. |
| 17899 The wizards said nothing of this. You did kill two of their number, didn't you? |
| 17900 And the fact that I fought for my own freedom means nothing? I was given no alternative! |
| 17901 Is Jaheira the only one among you that can see clearly? Even she was stunned by the actions of those I killed. |
| 17902 And such a threat demands an equal response! |
| 17903 I would know more of what you speak of. Do continue. |
| 17905 Talk all you want, but they have hired me to perform a job and I shall do it. |
| 17906 A planar sphere appeared in the slums of Athkatla weeks ago. My ancestor, the necromancer Lavok, built that sphere as some sort of planar-traveling device. |
| 17907 I have no desire to meet my ancestor, and even less desire to help the Cowled Wizards, who seem certain that my body is the only key to the sphere... alive or no. |
| 17908 They tried to force my cooperation when I refused to aid them, and I had hidden myself away as a result. I thought I had been successful as well, until you came. |
| 17909 Then they have not been entirely truthful to me. How do you propose we solve this? |
| 17910 Who are you that I should believe you? How do I know that you are not lying to me? |
| 17911 Why would you fear this Lavok? This ancestor of yours is certainly dead. |
| 17913 The wizards mentioned nothing of this. You did kill two of their number, did you not? |
| 17914 Talk all you want, but they have hired me to perform a job and I shall do it. |
| 17915 You do not serve the wizards? Then I have hidden myself so desperately only to be set upon by chance? Ah, this is misfortune indeed. |
| 17916 You might still be able to help me. A planar sphere appeared suddenly in the slums of Athkatla several weeks ago, which you may have seen. |
| 17917 I have no desire to meet my ancestor, and even less desire to help the Cowled Wizards, who believe my body is the only key to enter the sphere... alive or no. |
| 17918 They tried to force my cooperation, and I was forced to defend myself and flee. I had hidden away here. Successfully, I thought, until you came. |
| 17919 I was hired to apprehend you, but I think I should reconsider. What now? |
| 17920 Who are you that I should believe you? How do I know you are not lying to me? |
| 17921 Why should you fear this Lavok? This ancestor of yours is certainly dead. |
| 17922 Unfortunate. I was hired by the wizards, and I shall honor my commitment. |
| 17924 Is there no way to confront the Cowled Wizards and keep them from bothering you? |
| 17925 Pity, but I am only interested in what I can take from you. Blood or gold, you choose. |
| 17926 Very well, then. I've no desire to bother you further. I shall be on my way. |
| 17927 You do not serve the wizards? Then I have hidden myself so desperately only to be set upon by chance? Ah, this is misfortune indeed. |
| 17928 If you have been to the slums in Athkatla, you might be aware of a planar sphere that appeared there several weeks ago. |
| 17929 I have no desire to meet my ancestor, and even less desire to help the Cowled Wizards, who seem certain that my body is the only key to enter the sphere... alive or no. |
| 17930 They tried to force my cooperation, and I was forced to defend myself and hide. I apologize if they have brought grief to you, but I am afraid there is little I can do. |
| 17932 Why should they be concerned about your ancestry? This story seems fanciful. |
| 17933 Why should you fear this Lavok? This ancestor of yours is certainly dead. |
| 17934 Is there no way to confront the Cowled Wizards and keep them from bothering you? |
| 17935 Pity, but I am only interested in what I can take from you. Blood or gold, you choose. |
| 17936 Very well, then. I've no desire to bother you further. I shall be on my way. |
| 17937 Ha! You'll find little wealth or treasure of any kind here. If it's treasure you value, however, I've a thought that might interest you... if you'd care to listen, that is. |
| 17938 Speak on, then. I would know your offer, if you have one. |
| 17939 I would not. Since you claim not to have gold, I'll take payment in blood, as promised! |
| 17940 My name? My name is Valygar Corthala. I thought you knew this. |
| 17942 Aye, I did. 'Twas no murder, however... they attacked me first. I refused to cooperate with their "request" and fled as soon as I was able to withdraw. |
| 17943 There is more to this story than I was told. Perhaps you should tell me everything. |
| 17944 I care not. The Cowled Wizards have hired me, and I will do as I am bid. |
| 17945 I see. If you are loyal followers, then I have little choice but to fight. You shall not take me peaceably to my doom at the hands of my ancestor, of that I am certain. |
| 17947 If you are not, however, perhaps you'll listen to more than just reason. I have a proposal for you, if you're willing to hear me out. |
| 17948 Speak on, then. I would know your offer, if you have one. |
| 17949 I'll not renege on any deal that I have made. Put up your sword, fool! |
| 17950 My proposal is that we return to the city and enter the sphere. That way, I will know if Lavok lives. If he does, we can exterminate his ghoulish existence once and for all. |
| 17951 This potion acts like the spell Free Action when consumed. The drinker becomes completely immune to any effects that influence action or movement, whether it is magical in origin or not. The duration of the potion is 2 hours. STATISTICS: Special: Free Action Duration: 2 hours Weight: 1 |
| 17952 The potion of firebreath magically transforms the throat so that it is capable of a giant breath of fire spewing forth in an arc. The user does not drink this potion, but instead uses it on an enemy. The effect does 6d10 damage to the target with a Save vs. Breath Weapon for half. STATISTICS: Damage: 6d10 (Save vs. Breath for half) Weight: 1 |
| 17953 Once consumed, this potion will cause a surge of energy to travel through the body, setting the drinker's Constitution to 18. This provides all the bonuses of having a high Constitutionâ€â€such as Hit Pointsâ€â€for the duration of the effect, which is 3 hours. STATISTICS: Constitution: 18 Duration: 3 hours Weight: 1 |
| 17954 You are more than welcome to whatever lies within the sphere, such as magical treasure and anything else of Lavok's. None of it interests me in the slightest. |
| 17955 It seems unlikely that Lavok survived these five hundred years. How could he be alive? |
| 17956 This story of yours sounds like a fantasy. How do I know you are not lying? |
| 17957 Why should I trust a murderer? You killed two of the Cowled Wizards, didn't you? |
| 17958 What you suggest sounds interesting. But will the Cowled Wizards not oppose us? |
| 17959 And what is to stop me from using your body to enter the sphere myself? |
| 17960 I refuse. I prefer the goodwill of the Cowled Wizards and the reward for you. |
| 17961 I refuse. I prefer the goodwill of the Cowled Wizards and the reward for you. |
| 17962 I refuse, but neither shall I turn you in. I leave you to your own devices, then. |
| 17963 I see no merit in your proposal. I shall leave you to your own devices. |
| 17964 I agree. Join with me and we shall see what is inside this planar sphere of yours. |
| 17965 I am the last of the Corthala line. That may mean little to you, but it means plenty to Lavok. When Lavok left Athkatla in the sphere, he was already many centuries old. |
| 17966 Lavok extended his life by stealing the bodies of blood relations. If he yet lives, you can imagine my concern. This is also why my blood may allow entrance to the sphere. |
| 17967 The wizards have not been entirely truthful. How do you propose we solve this? |
| 17968 The wizards mentioned nothing of this. You did kill two of their number, did you not? |
| 17969 I care not. I have been hired to turn you in, and I shall do it regardless. |
| 17970 I cannot prove the truth of my words, my <LADYLORD>, but compare my motivations to those of the wizards. And there is more. |
| 17971 I suspected as much. Very well, then. |
| 17972 The wizards will not rest until they get inside the sphere. And one cannot hope to stand up to the them for long... at least not without steady hands at one's back. |
| 17973 I was hired to apprehend you, but I have reconsidered. What now? |
| 17974 I see. What do you propose, then? |
| 17975 Who are you that makes you so special? How do I know you are not lying to me? |
| 17976 Why would you fear this Lavok? This ancestor of yours is certainly dead. |
| 17977 This potion will protect the drinker from all forms of petrification and gaze attacks. The effect will last for 1 turn or until dispelled. STATISTICS: Special: Immune to petrification and gaze attacks Duration: 1 turn Weight: 1 |
| 17978 I care not. In truth, I have been hired by them. And I shall honor my commitment. |
| 17979 Pity, but I am only interested in what I can take from you. Blood or gold. You choose. |
| 17980 Very well, then. I've no desire to bother you further. I shall be on my way. |
| 17981 Wait! I've a proposal, if you are but willing to hear it! |
| 17982 I've no interest. I'll have problems enough with the Cowled Wizards after this. |
| 17983 Red Potion |
| 17984 Close examination reveals this liquid to be very peculiar in nature. It could be a sorcerer's dream, but that would depend entirely on who you asked. After ingesting the mixture, the drinker becomes the weakest, most unwise, yet incredibly intelligent person to have ever lived, with an innate 50% Magic Damage Resistance as well. The effects remain for an entire 24 hours, so think carefully before unplugging the cork. STATISTICS: Special: +50% resistance to all magical damage Intelligence: 25 Wisdom: 3 Strength: 3 Duration: 24 hours Weight: 1 |
| 17985 Louise |
| 17986 Violet Potion |
| 17987 I've no interest in any proposal that you might have to make. Excuse me. |
| 17988 If you have a proposal, make it quickly. |
| 17989 As you wish! If that is all you care for, you'll not find Valygar a sitting target! |
| 17990 If you are but a servant of the Cowled Wizards, then I have no choice but to defend myself! I am a ranger, and I will die with honor! Have at you! |
| 17991 This is one of the oddest potions you have ever examined. Once drunk, this mixture causes one's muscles to immediately bulge to completely inhuman proportions, titan-like actually, while Dexterity and Constitution are both reduced essentially to that of a slug. The effect lasts for a full 24 hours, so think carefully before quaffing this suspect drink. STATISTICS: Strength: 25 Dexterity: 3 Constitution: 3 Duration: 24 hours Weight: 1 |
| 17992 I am the last of the Corthala line. That may mean little to you, but it means plenty to Lavok. When Lavok left Athkatla in the sphere, he was already many centuries old. |
| 17993 Lavok extended his life by stealing the bodies of blood relations. If he yet lives, you can imagine my concern. My blood, then, may also be the key to entering the sphere. |
| 17994 I believe that I have the acorns you are talking about. |
| 17995 Why should I trust a murderer? You did kill two of the Cowled Wizards, did you not? |
| 17996 What you suggest sounds interesting. But will the Cowled Wizards not oppose us? |
| 17998 And what is to stop me from using your body to enter the sphere myself? |

| 18048 I cannot prove the truth of my words, my <LADYLORD>, but compare my motivations to those of the wizards. And there is more. |

| 18057 Aye, I did, but 'tis not murder. They attacked me first. I refused to cooperate with their "request" and fled as soon as I was able to withdraw. |
| 18058 How is it that you can enter this sphere? This whole story sounds like fantasy. |
| 18059 It seems unlikely that Lavok would be in the sphere. How could he be alive? |
| 18060 What could you say? Witnesses place you at the Harper Hold in Athkatla when all within were killed. This cannot be justified! |

| 18074 Very well. Join and we shall see what is inside this planar sphere ourselves. |
| 18075 I have an idea of how my blood allows entrance to the sphere. I do not know how the wizards could use my dead body, but it's a secret they'll not likely tell. Nor shall I tell mine. |
| 18076 There is no talking to you, is there? Very well, do your worst. I will no longer dignify your actions with attempts at reason. |
| 18077 It seems unlikely that Lavok would be in the sphere. How could he be alive? |
| 18078 You sound as if you know her. Does she seem the type to be easily bullied? No, she fought by my side against the violation of my basic rights. |
| 18079 She knew I was in the right! I had little other choice in the matter! |

| 18094 Protection Scroll |
| 18095 A crossbow is a bow mounted crosswise on a wooden or metal shaft, the latter called a tiller. The bow is usually made of ash or yew. The crossbow fires a quarrel (also called a bolt). STATISTICS: Damage: +2 (missile) Speed Factor: 10 Proficiency Type: Crossbow Type: Two-handed Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 14 |
| 18096 I do not seek to justify it, but surely I am allowed to defend myself when my rights are threatened? |
| 18097 I had no alternative! Even Jaheira was stunned at the behavior of her fellows! |
| 18098 A Protection From Poison scroll offers protection to the target from all forms of poison, be they of a natural or magical nature. The effect is not permanent, however, and will wear off after 6 hours. STATISTICS: – Renders the target immune to poison and neutralizes any poison already affecting the target Range: 30 ft. Area of Effect: 1 creature Duration: 6 hours |
| 18099 Then do as you must, but like the others, you have brought the consequences on yourselves! |
| 18100 I refuse. But I shall leave you to proceed as you will. Good luck to you. |
| 18101 Misguided? Witnesses place you at Harper Hold when all within met their deaths! What answer would you have us make for such a toll? |
| 18102 Very well, join and we shall see what is inside this planar sphere ourselves. |
| 18103 That is most unfortunate. My family had sworn an oath long ago to kill Lavok should he ever reappear, and I cannot abandon it now. But neither can I proceed without aid. |
| 18104 This hiding place will work for me no further. I must leave. If you change your mind, you may find me through my servant at my home in Athkatla. Fare you well until then. |
| 18105 Most excellent! My family swore an oath long ago to kill Lavok should he ever reappear, and perhaps I shall be able to fulfill it. My heartfelt thanks at your offer of aid. |
| 18106 I see. What do you propose we do? |
| 18107 I'm only interested in what I can take from you. Gold or blood, you choose. |
| 18108 I have no time for this. I am leaving. |
| 18109 I would have you stop meddling in my life! I did not seek this confrontation; it was thrust upon me! |
| 18110 I do not deny the act, but it was in my own defense that I acted. Is Jaheira the only one of you that can see this? |
| 18111 The only answer you are capable of, apparently. I warn you; raise your weapons and there shall be more senseless death here today. |

| 18143 Maze (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 8 Range: Touch Duration: Special Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None An extradimensional space is brought into being upon utterance of a maze spell. The subject vanishes into the shifting labyrinth of force planes for a period of time that is totally dependent upon its Intelligence. Intelligence of Target  Time trapped in maze under 3  2d4 turns 3 to 5  1d4 turns 6 to 8  5d4 rounds 9 to 11  4d4 rounds 12 to 14  3d4 rounds 15 to 17  2d4 rounds 18 and up  1d4 rounds Note that if the 9th-level spell Freedom is cast in the area where a creature is mazed, it will effectively bring <PRO_HIMHER> back to this plane, ending the spell prematurely.

The victim remains there unless a reverse of the spellâ€â€Freedomâ€â€is cast. Otherwise, the victim will remain there as long as the earth exists; rather a horrible fate, actually. If a Freedom spell is cast in the area where the creature was imprisoned, then <PRO_HESHE> will reappear exactly where <PRO_HESHE> was last standing. Dispel Magic will not free creatures trapped in this manner. There is no Saving Throw. |

| 18232 Good! Defend yourself, for it shall make it all the more punishing when you fall! |
| 18233 And Cutter went and got infected with plague, so I up and broke his neck, to save him the agony. |
| 18234 She would not! She would not oppose her own! You will not speak of her as such! |
| 18235 Here is yer title, and argue with me gauntlet if ye dare: "Tall-Folk Scourge: Yoshimo Beware!" Now shut yer mouth and get to writing. |
| 18236 Indeed. It has been a very long time. |
| 18237 Der... Dermin? Is that you? It has been some time. |
| 18238 What is the matter, Dermin? You would not have let me walk on by, would you? I know we did not always see eye to eye, but I assure you, the respect... |
| 18239 I may well have let you pass, for there is no joy in my visit today. Jaheira, do you remember the lessons I taught you? |
| 18240 Of... of course, you were the one that introduced me to the Harpers. |
| 18241 Yes, yes, but the lessons? |
| 18242 What... what are you getting at, Dermin? |
| 18243 I am not here to rehash our friendship. Jaheira... I have been sent to kill you, or otherwise seek your downfall, and I do not relish the duty. |
| 18244 Oh... oh yes, here is the stone. |
| 18245 You are very noble to risk your own safety to free the djinni. We have the flask and shall give it to you. |
| 18246 Greetings. You are known to me. Or your deeds are known to those I serve. I think I should introduce myself. |
| 18247 I am Madeen. I represent one of the masters of the Athkatla order of the Cowled Wizards. He seeks to employ you in a matter of some urgency. |
| 18248 The Cowled Wizards? They are the ones that arrested Imoen. I would be very interested in speaking to them about that. |
| 18249 Oh? And what matter are you referring to? |
| 18250 I would like to know what kind of reward I am looking at before you speak any further. |
| 18251 I have no time to help anyone at the moment, least of all the Cowled Wizards. |
| 18252 I do not know anything about that. I represent one of the wizards, as I said, a Master Tolgerias. Perhaps you could speak to him of this Imoen? |
| 18253 The matter is most sensitive... I have been given little knowledge of it. Tolgerias, the one whom I speak for, is eager to meet with you and discuss these matters. |
| 18254 Very well. How do I go about meeting this Tolgerias fellow? |
| 18255 I want to know what task I would be performing before I speak to anyone. |
| 18256 Tell me what manner of reward I might be looking at first. |
| 18257 I have no time to parley with wizards. I have far more important things to do. |
| 18258 All right, then. Tell me how I go about meeting this Tolgerias. |
| 18259 I want to know about the reward before I do anything. |
| 18260 Forget it. I have no time for such matters. |
| 18261 The reward for the task is known only to the one I represent. But he is eager to meet with you, and as a Cowled Wizard, possesses resources to offer great rewards. |
| 18262 But that sort of comment coming from you is not any surprise, he who would rather live on his knees than die on his feet. |
| 18263 Might you wish to meet with him, yes? |
| 18264 And what if I said I wished to know the whereabouts of Imoen? Might your wizard see his way to doing that? |
| 18265 I'd prefer to know what task I'd be undertaking before I met with this man. |
| 18266 No, I don't. Excuse me. |
| 18267 As you wish. The one I represent is most insistent that only the most able be brought to perform this task. Should you change your mind, you will find me here. |
| 18268 Until then, my friend, I wish you a most pleasant journey. |
| 18269 He will be most pleased. Master Tolgerias can be found in the government building behind me... you may go within. Do not tarry overlong, my friend. |
| 18270 Ah, I see you have found me once again, my friend <CHARNAME>. Have you changed your mind regarding the proffered employment by the Master Tolgerias? |
| 18271 Of course, as you wish. I shall await your pleasure here. |
| 18272 Perhaps. Tell me again what manner of employment this might be. |
| 18273 I want to know more about the reward. |
| 18274 No, actually. Excuse me. |
| 18275 Boo |
| 18276 Yes, I think I might wish to meet with this Tolgerias now. How do we proceed? |
| 18278 On ramparts across the Faerûn are heads on pikes of the radiant who've been eulogized to the myth and allure of your vaunted brotherhood. |
| 18279 Perhaps Madeen has let slip a little of what this is about? No? Hmm. Well, yes, I do have something I would like you very much to do, if you'd care to hear it. |
| 18280 I'm here now, so you may as well tell me what you would have me do. |
| 18281 First, I would like to know where Imoen is. |
| 18282 Actually, I've changed my mind. I'll be going. |
| 18283 So what do you say then, hm? Agree to the task and I shall tell you all you need to know. |
| 18284 How can I agree to a task if I do not even know what it is? |
| 18285 I would like to know what the reward is, then, before I agree to anything. |
| 18286 I am leery of working for the people who kidnapped Imoen. Tell me where she is first. |
| 18287 If that is the way it must be, so be it. You have my agreement. |
| 18288 Imoen? Ah... the girl arrested along with the wizard. I do not have such inconsequential information on me, so put aside such demands. |
| 18289 Their intolerance against those who are not of a "civilized" species is racism at its worst. |
| 18290 I will not put it aside. Either you tell me where Imoen is, or you shall not receive my assistance. |
| 18291 If I must. Tell me, then, what the reward is for this task of yours. |
| 18292 If I must. But you put me in a difficult position, asking for a commitment to a task I know nothing about. |
| 18293 Very well. I agree to perform your task, then. Tell me what it is. |
| 18294 Leaving so soon? How... unfortunate. You realize the reward the Cowled Wizards can offer for completing this task is considerable. Can I change your mind, hm? |
| 18295 Well, that depends. Exactly what kind of reward are you talking about? |
| 18296 You ask me to commit to a task I know nothing of. You are asking too much. |
| 18297 No, I don't think you can. Another time, perhaps. |
| 18298 Yes, it is a lot for even I to ask, eh? You are more than capable of performing this task, and it will conflict with none of your current loyalties. |
| 18299 And you would garner the goodwill of the Cowled Wizards... not to mention a substantial reward. But if you are determined to refuse, I certainly cannot stop you. |
| 18300 That is true. I shall be on my way, then. |
| 18301 I would know more of this reward before I agree. |
| 18302 All right, then. I agree to perform this task. Tell me what you would have me do. |
| 18303 The reward... Adventurers have much use for items the Cowled Wizards hold. It is sad that magic is so despised in Athkatla, for it has many uses. |
| 18304 We will offer you an item of substantial magical power as well as a good deal of gold coin. But again, I must have your word on the matter before I continue. |
| 18305 Excellent. Your agreement means that the Cowled Wizards shall hold you to your word. This matter must be handled with discretion and expediency. |
| 18306 It was my calling to unravel the worlds within a single seed or read the chronicle of a season in the veins of a leaf. She called, and I answered. |
| 18307 There is something that has been plaguing us for more than a week now and has become quite alarming. |
| 18308 I do not know how I can give my word on a matter I know nothing of. |
| 18309 Perhaps if you tell me of Imoen's location, it will convince me to agree. |
| 18310 Forget it, then. I'll be on my way. |
| 18311 If that is how it must be, then I agree. You have my word. |
| 18312 You know of the prevailing attitude against magic here in Amn, yes? Well, amongst some it is even worse than that... a burning, palpable hatred. |
| 18313 One particular man here in Athkatla has murdered two of our number in cold blood. He is currently in hiding, and we need you to track the fellow down. |
| 18314 We have been unable to do so, much to our frustration. Cowled Wizards cannot be assaulted without repercussions or it will lead to... serious problems. |
| 18315 Who is this murderer, then, and how am I supposed to track him down when you failed? |
| 18316 I am no assassin. Why have you hired me to do this? |
| 18317 Is there anything else that I should be aware of? |
| 18318 *sigh* I will look into the matter for you if you perform this task. However, I can guarantee nothing. If this means we do not work together, so be it. |
| 18319 That is exactly what it means. Excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 18320 I had hoped differently, but a chance is better than nothing. Tell me more about the reward, and I may be more inclined. |
| 18321 It galls me greatly, and it is even worse that you ask for a blind leap of faith from me. How can I agree to something I am not even sure I can do? |
| 18322 If there is a chance that I will find out more, then I agree to do your task, wizard. |
| 18323 *sigh* As you wish. It confounds me you would be so dense, but if you change your mind, I will be here for some time yet. Off you go, fool. |
| 18324 He is Valygar Corthala, last son of a wealthy family and a true brute. Ask around and you may discover if he is hiding within the city or someplace else. |
| 18325 I see. And what power has decided that I should be killed? I serve nature and protect the good of the land through my work as a Harper. Who have I offended? |
| 18326 He has a home in the Docks District, or he may have fled to the Umar Hills. His friends and servants will not speak to us, but they may to you. |
| 18327 And just what am I supposed to do with this Valygar fellow once I find him? I am no murderer. |
| 18328 Is there anything else I should know about? |
| 18329 We do not ask that you commit any murder. We wish Valygar be delivered to us, that is all. He will likely resist, so if you must kill him, so be it. |
| 18330 But if you do kill him, I simply must have his body. Valygar must be delivered to us whether he is dead or alive. You understand, yes? |
| 18331 I have no interest in performing this ghoulish task. I will not hunt this man down for you, regardless of what I said earlier. |
| 18332 Tell me more about this Valygar fellow. Who is he, and how am I supposed to find him where you failed? |
| 18333 Is there anything else I should know? |
| 18334 Very well, then. I shall do my best to procure this murderer for you. |
| 18335 Very well. I shall track this murderer down and procure him for you. |
| 18336 I refuse to hunt this man down, regardless of what I said earlier. |
| 18337 There is nothing I can think of. Perform your promised task, and the Cowled Wizards shall be pleased. |
| 18338 Tell me more about this target of mine, then, and what convinces you I can find answers where you cannot. |
| 18339 And once I have found this fellow... what am I to do with him? |
| 18340 Very well. I will hunt this murderer down and return him to you. |
| 18341 I have changed my mind. I shall not perform this hunt, regardless of what I said earlier. |
| 18342 You gave your word, so I expect nothing less. I await the sight of this murderer's body soon. |
| 18343 Hmph. Such a declaration is dangerous, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. The Cowled Wizards will not treat treachery lightly. Return to your task or things will get... unpleasant. |
| 18344 If you'll force me, then I suppose I have little choice. |
| 18345 I'll not be coerced in such a manner, fool. I have dealt with far greater powers than a group of wizards! |
| 18346 Aye, we will if need be. This is a delicate matter, and we shall not allow it to be dealt with callously. Perform your task, or suffer our wrath. Go. |
| 18347 We shall see about that, fool! |
| 18348 You have returned, I see. Ah, very good, yes. You have changed your mind regarding our offer, yes? |
| 18349 Perhaps. I wish to know about the reward that is being offered. |
| 18350 I still think it is too much to ask to have me agree to something I have no knowledge of. |
| 18351 Actually, no, I have not. I shall be leaving now. |
| 18352 Yes, I have. I agree to perform this task of yours. Tell me what you would have me do. |
| 18353 You waste my time yet again?! This grows near the point of outrage, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! I will give you one last chance to change your mind. |
| 18354 I will not. I refuse to agree to your terms. |
| 18355 It is too much for you to ask for me to agree to something I know nothing of! How do I even know I can perform this task? |
| 18356 I have no desire to upset the Cowled Wizards. I suppose I must agree to perform this task of yours, if that is how it must be. |
| 18357 Then begone! And return not to my sight! |
| 18358 Yes? I see that you have come before me, but I do not spy the murderer in your possession. What is amiss? |
| 18359 They have dispatched an agent to investigate my activities, something I don't appreciate. This insult must be punished by killing the Cowled agent. |
| 18360 I have discovered the location of Valygar, but I cannot bring him to you. I will, however, tell you of his location in return for the reward. |
| 18361 Hear me. It seems my prowess as a mage has captured the eye of the Cowled Wizards. I'm certain they are envious, though their actions are not fitting tribute. |
| 18362 I have found Valygar, that is true, but I have decided not to bring him to you. You lied about a great many things, wizard, and I refuse to be used. |
| 18363 I am still searching for him. I wish to know more about my target, however. |
| 18364 I am still searching for him. I would like to know, however, what you wish me to do with him once he is found. |
| 18365 I have decided that this errand of yours is not worth my time. Find someone else to do your work for you. |
| 18366 Well done. An inconvenience that needed to be dealt with. I've another mission for you then, one that does not necessarily involve any bloodshed at all. |
| 18367 Nothing is wrong. I shall return to my search. |
| 18368 Then I shall discover his location by questioning your corpse, fool! I shall not be deterred by the likes of you! |
| 18369 Ah, yes? I suppose that would do almost as well. I agree to your terms, so long as you tell me the truth of Valygar's location. |
| 18370 I warn you, however, not to lie to me. I will know the truth of your words. So, then... where is the fool? |
| 18371 Never mind. Now, I've conferred with Mae'Var, and there is a final task for you, a last test of loyalty. Go and he will give you your final assignment. |
| 18372 He is currently in his home in the Docks District, but he will not be there for very long. |
| 18373 Now that I'm assured of your loyalty to the cause of the moment, it seems an appropriate juncture to dispense with false pretenses. |
| 18374 I do not know his exact location, but he has returned to Athkatla. The servant in his home will know exactly where he is, I am told. |
| 18375 Your pretense of naivete and wilderness manners is clever, but a Red Wizard sees more than mere appearance. You have a secret, <CHARNAME>. |
| 18376 He is in a cabin in the Umar Hills area, hiding out. |
| 18377 He has left the area and traveled south to Tethyr. |
| 18378 Forget it. I shall tell you nothing of his location. |
| 18379 The murderer's name is Valygar Corthala, last member of a once wealthy family. Beyond that, I only know he is a brute and a fighter of some prowess. |
| 18380 You can likely find out much more than us, yes? The people of Athkatla hold us in disregard and will say nothing of any use. |
| 18381 Perhaps you could tell me what I am supposed to do with him once he is found. |
| 18382 I have decided to end my work on this task. Find someone else to do it for you. |
| 18383 I see. I shall return to my search, then. |
| 18384 Be alert, laddies! We've got company. Ho, prisoners! Ye've come to th' wrong place, I tell ye true! Ilyich and 'is boys'll stop you! |
| 18385 It is very simple, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Return him to me, dead or alive. I would prefer alive, but I must have his body otherwise. You understand this? |
| 18386 Mae'Var has been courting the Night Knives in order to bolster his own strategic position and betray Renal. Masterfully planned, but I have seen through it. |
| 18387 I do. Perhaps you could tell me more about my target, however. |
| 18388 I am no bounty hunter. I refuse to continue with this task. Find someone else to perform your dirty work. |
| 18389 The Knives are a cutthroat guild of footpads, brigands, and highwaymen based in the congested cesspool of Westgate. Obviously they wish to expand. |
| 18390 I understand. I shall continue with my search. |
| 18391 Very good. Do not make us wait overlong, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, or we shall get very upset. After that, things would become... dangerous. Begone. |
| 18392 Most excellent! I shall go and retrieve him shortly. Very well, <CHARNAME>, you have earned your reward. |
| 18393 You have pleased both myself and the Cowled Wizards with your cooperation. Speak of this to no one, however, or you will suffer our wrath. |
| 18394 The eye dangles along the cheek, watching the rest of the body being eviscerated. You can't look away, and you can't blink. |
| 18395 Bah! More clues for us to follow?! This is not what we asked of you! |
| 18396 We shall follow this up, to be certain. You, however, deserve nothing other than the silence of the grave! |
| 18397 You lie! Fool, you shall suffer the wrath of the Cowled Wizards! |
| 18398 Look at what you steal next time. This is merely a list of taphouse receipts, strong-arm kickbacks, and festhall purchases. This will not do at all. Go back! |
| 18399 Valygar is dead, but I was unable to bring his body here. I shall tell you where his body lies. |
| 18400 Valygar is dead, but I have hidden his body. I know what you need it for, wizard, and I desire a larger reward before I hand it over to you. |
| 18401 That was the best that you could do? The stories of your prowess are greatly exaggerated! Bah! Tell me where the body is, you ineffective fool. |
| 18402 Valygar is dead, but his body has been destroyed. I cannot do as you ask. |
| 18403 Of all the... Ignorant troglodyte! Do you not understand the important of what lies inside that sphere?! Tell me where the body is or suffer our wrath! |
| 18404 I will not. Give me a larger reward or you shall never get inside the sphere. |
| 18405 A heartfelt round of congratulations to all! Justice has been dispensed this day. To other matters, however. |
| 18406 Very well, I've no desire to upset you further. Here is the location of the body. |
| 18407 The Red Wizards of Thay, of which I am one, are an ancient order, responsible for degenerating the power of the pagan, symbol-driven cults across Faerûn. |
| 18408 Bah! |
| 18409 You win, fool. But the Cowled Wizards shall remember this betrayal. Here is a ring in exchange for the body. Now begone from my sight ere I change my mind. |
| 18410 I will not. Give me a larger reward or you shall never get inside the sphere. |
| 18411 Ah! I see that you have returned. And returned with the murderer's body in your possession. Most excellent. |
| 18412 Never mind the murderer business. I know what you need Valygar's body for. I require a larger reward or you will not get this body. |
| 18413 Very well, here you go. |
| 18414 Fool! I shall not be deterred by the likes of you! We shall have a reckoning... elsewhere. And then I shall take the ranger from your dead hands if need be! |
| 18415 This body will ensure an era of power for the Cowled Wizards unlike any other known! You have earned your reward, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! |
| 18416 I've heard rumors and done a little reading on the subject... Many have muttered the name in frustration... the Nether Scroll. |
| 18417 Golden Goblet of Life |
| 18418 I had an "intense" chat with a diviner that swore it was in Athkatla, buried among the nobles. If I... If we found it, we would be formidable indeed. The lower tombs, perhaps? |
| 18419 Best to make a swift escape now, my raven! |
| 18420 You make pleasant company, my raven. I'll be glad to tarry awhile in your motley group. |
| 18421 Traveling with an angered cambion might almost be more interesting than the time I'm spending with you, I would imagine. |
| 18422 I see it now, the forces of entropy breaking our companionship apart. And it cannot come too soon, quoth this raven. |
| 18423 (Hmm... ancient magic at my fingertips, and more yet to decipher. It has been a good day.) What are you staring at? I've had my say; back to your little quest, or whatever! |
| 18424 Never! You shall never have me, and you shall never have your precious sphere! |
| 18425 So! It has come, my raven. I'll leave this foul partnership, and it shall be as if we've never been acquainted. Try not to trip over yourself as you continue your dreary way, aye? |
| 18426 Woman or not, my spellthrowing is unparallelled and will bring the wrath of cleansing hellfire upon you should the mood move me! |
| 18427 So! Haha! My part in this little play has changed, has it? 'Tis a role I'll relish... Follow me, then! We charge on! |
| 18428 Oooh, the lids grow heavy. Have we not the time to sleep and dream but even a little? |
| 18429 'Tis dreary, my raven, this time we spend here tapping toes. |
| 18430 May our deeds be sung through the ages! |
| 18431 My name is... Celisa of Waterdeep. Yes, daughter of... Kur... Kurdall Al... Ale... Kurdall Aleconnor, a wealthy mead-maker and owner of a chain of festhalls. |
| 18432 No Edwin in our midst I'm most sorry to say. Only Celisa Aleconnor. You'd best be off to capture this Edwin. He sounds like a formidable foe. |
| 18433 Ahhh, mayhap THIS will be the end! |
| 18434 For the Doomguard, I strike a blow! |
| 18435 Ah! |
| 18436 At last... oblivion! Ohh... oh... |
| 18437 Repair me quickly, good raven, or bid me fond farewell while you can! |
| 18438 Would that I knew where this place was. I've no quarrel with you, duergar. |
| 18439 Edwin is a self-serving nerveless worm. He's gone rogue. He tithes nothing and has vilified the masters of the order and sullied their good names. |
| 18440 Give me the acorns that belong to the dryads and you shall not be harmed. |
| 18441 'Tis passing strange what you primes call these "forests." But it has a serene beauty of a sort as well. |
| 18442 Aye, the lifeblood of a city. *chuckle* It ebbs and flows the same on any plane. |
| 18443 Beneath the earth, our fates await us... and just think, we shan't need go far to lie in our graves! |
| 18444 There is an incredibly powerful and invisible force in the room which slams the door shut even if it is opened but a crack. The carved runes on the door are unreadable, but seem to indicate that this is the entry to a tomb of some kind... Also prominent amongst the runes is a depiction of a mask. |
| 18445 All that stand in my way shall fall! |
| 18446 Mmm... the sky, it is a brilliant azure shade. Pity you primes have only the one sun. |
| 18447 Suffice to say, this place is your doom. By the time the master returns, you shall be dead and we shall be rewarded. At 'em, lads! No mercy! |
| 18448 Ahhh, night has laid her shroud upon us. A perfect time for a warm fire and a story to regale you all... were you not so distracted by pressing quests, that is. |
| 18449 I won't be givin' 'em to you. Come and get 'em... if you can! |
| 18450 At 'em, lads! No mercy! |
| 18451 It's ordained by custom that thinning the familial herd should be exercised. Killing or maiming your siblings is as commonplace as bearing children. |
| 18452 Simply, love is a cruel mistress and family, sadly, an afterthought. I envy your bond, <CHARNAME>. It's truly inspiring. |
| 18453 This sparrow is ready to fly... at your command, of course. |
| 18454 Aye, my raven? |
| 18455 Fate beckons us all. |
| 18456 Readier than a red-cheeked maiden, my friend. |
| 18457 Urgent, is it? |
| 18458 I do not care o'ermuch for being prodded all the time. |
| 18459 *whistle* |
| 18460 Aye! A fair gambit. |
| 18461 A welcome laid for oblivion. |
| 18462 Thy will be done. |
| 18463 'Tis a role I am glad to play! |
| 18465 I shall be glad to dance to your tune... if you but learn to play. |
| 18466 Enter Haer'Dalis! |
| 18467 Only if you're sure... |
| 18468 Wouldn't you rather a tune? A sonnet? Some grand melody? ...Fine, have it your way, my raven. |
| 18469 A solid blow! |
| 18470 A complete miss! |
| 18471 No damage? Interesting... |
| 18472 I can carry not another stitch. Let it fall to the ground then. |
| 18473 What was once yours is now mine alone. |
| 18475 My concentration is lost. |
| 18477 Discretion! Not valor! Discretion! Discretion! |
| 18478 I haven't been this pleased with a group of folks since the Cormyrians sent the price of turnips through the roof during the Onion Famine. |
| 18479 Hmph. Being around this group too long is sort of like having the... Calimshite itch, isn't it? Except for the uncomfortable burning sensation. And the rash! But still... |
| 18480 I don't think I like your attitude much. You have all the makings of a nasty griffon... which reminds me, you need a bath. |
| 18481 That's it! Time to move on, places to go and all that. The way you're going, you're just going to end up like Golodon the Unmanned! And I didn't want to see that the first time. |
| 18482 Well now, this is a fine turn of events. I haven't led a party since... well, since Uncle Scratchy turned sick with the pox and put me in charge. He just didn't trust the dwarf, you see. Hmm... hopefully, this time works out better than the last... |
| 18483 *yawn* It's long past time for turnip tea. A little rest will shake the stew from our eyes and ache from our legs. |
| 18484 Ho hum, ho hum! Oh, look, did the grass just grow another half-inch? Wonders! |
| 18485 Beware, your knees are mine! |
| 18486 Prepare to meet your DOOOOM! Heh... |
| 18487 Who...? Jaheira, you travel with a killer of Harpers. I do not wish to think you had any complicity in those acts, but here <PRO_HESHE> is, and <PRO_HESHE> is still alive. |
| 18488 I have washed my hands of the incident in the Harper Hold. Galvarey was in the wrong and brought his fate upon himself. |
| 18489 We know nothing of this. There is only the fact that you... you and your friend were the cause of many deaths. This cannot be ignored. |
| 18490 He was in the wrong! Of that I am certain! Galvarey sought to imprison <CHARNAME> for his own gain, and I took the side of right. I could do no other! |
| 18491 This isn't boring, I'll give it that! |
| 18492 It is not seen that way, Jaheira. Exact the necessary justice. That is the only route to redemption for you. The others... will not accept you otherwise. |
| 18493 This is wrong, Dermin. This is not the right solution. |
| 18494 I cannot see this ending otherwise, Jaheira. Your own have died. What do you intend to do about it? |
| 18495 Jaheira, do what you must. I have been the cause of too much trouble for you. |
| 18496 Don't let this fool scare you, Jaheira. They have no right to meddle as they do! |
| 18497 Do not turn on me, Jaheira. You will end as your fellows did. |
| 18498 Do not concern yourself. This was the only course open, even if... I... I wish to not talk of this. This matter is... is behind me. Onward, we have much to do. |
| 18499 I thank you, <CHARNAME>, but part of me is gone. I... I will speak no more of this. This is behind me. I must go forward. Come, we have friends to avenge. |
| 18500 Dermin... I... |
| 18501 Dermin, I cannot do as you ask. You are in the wrong, as was Galvarey. I was right to choose <CHARNAME>'s side, and it is your loss if you cannot see this. |
| 18502 Consider carefully what you are saying, child. You have a duty to justice. |
| 18503 This is not justice. This is revenge for a lie, a falsehood that none seem bothered to find the truth behind. If this is Harper justice, then I... |
| 18504 What are you saying, Jaheira? |
| 18505 If this is the justice you represent, then I... I renounce you. I renounce... I renounce my life as a Harper. |
| 18506 Jaheira, you cannot mean... Think this through. |
| 18507 It would seem I am the only one that has thought any of this through. You do not, Galvarey did not, and now the Harpers out for blood do not. |
| 18508 I mourn many fellows of the Harp, but they died fighting for balance and truth. Galvarey did not, and this matter cheapens their loss. I will not be party to it. |
| 18510 Don't forget to raise me... ah... |
| 18511 Er... don't mean to startle you or anything, but all this blood spurting about is actually mine! |
| 18512 Ah, home sweet home... Wait, I don't live here... |
| 18513 ...hmm... I'd wager the turnip market's making a killing today... |
| 18514 Ahhh, this reminds me of the turnip cellars... except Uncle Gerhardt isn't passed out by the turnip still in the corner... |
| 18515 You know, I'd like the daytime a lot better if it didn't mean a griffon has a clear sighting from five miles away! |
| 18516 Ah... I've had this little problem ever since I was a wee gnome. When it gets dark, everybody glows red. Frightens a child something fierce! |
| 18517 Don't yell! I can hear you just fine. |
| 18518 It is their... it is my duty to "meddle," <CHARNAME>. It is only this instance where they are wrong. I cannot go along with this. |
| 18519 Jan Jansen, at yer service! |
| 18520 Pardon. Turnip reflex. |
| 18521 You need my skills, I see. |
| 18522 You sound like Golodon. |
| 18523 What? Is there a griffon about? |
| 18524 Yes, yes, a standard tactic, that. |
| 18525 Oh, I can do *that*. |
| 18526 Got it. |
| 18527 <CHARNAME>, you... you do not trust my judgment either? I have stood by you through the mistakes of my own kind, and you still keep your guard around me? |
| 18528 It shall be done with skill and care... if not brevity. |
| 18529 At once, Your Worship. |
| 18530 I'll do it... for a turnip. |
| 18531 This behavior certainly supports our version of what happened. I think your choice is clear in this. |
| 18532 No... no... I do not think it is. You are advocating revenge without thought. You are not giving the balance its due. I... I have little choice here, I think. |
| 18533 You know, this reminds me of that time... way back... |
| 18534 Dermin... Dermin, I renounce my life as a Harper. |
| 18535 Jaheira, you cannot mean this. You would not possible leave your fellows for a life with this killer. |
| 18536 You are right, of course, and <PRO_HESHE> has proven it. No, I think it best if I return to tending the balance with my druidic brethren. |
| 18537 This is perhaps worse than if you actually were. I... I have no more desire to pursue this matter. Goodbye, Jaheira. This... this is a sad day. |
| 18538 That it is. <CHARNAME>, I know you will not upset the balance, but if you change, we will meet again. I will not be happy if you cheapen my choice here today. |
| 18539 <CHARNAME>! We are overwhelmed! |
| 18540 This is a switch of some kind. Perhaps it will stop this lightning contraption from conjuring any more of these annoying little mephits. |
| 18541 The lightning machine stops once you have flicked the switch. |
| 18542 Flicking this switch again will undoubtedly result in the machine restarting and its conjuring of more beasts. It wouldn't be wise to switch it back on. |
| 18543 Mephit Portal |
| 18544 Mephit Portal |
| 18545 So be it then. I will take your words to those that will listen. Do not expect your life to be peaceful with this choice. |
| 18546 It shall not be peaceful, but it is clearer than the course you are on. Goodbye, Dermin. |
| 18547 Are you certain of this? I did not want to be a burden, Jaheira. |
| 18548 You have a place here, Jaheira, regardless of this mess. |
| 18549 Well, now that this bit of garbage is over, we can get back to what's important. |
| 18550 Cure Serious Wounds |
| 18551 Garbage?! Do you comprehend the magnitude of what I have done?! Do you see... what... no, I will not cheapen this moment by arguing with you. |
| 18552 <CHARNAME>, find your own way. See to it that you continue the course we began. Do not make a liar of me, or we will meet again under violent circumstances. |
| 18553 Are you certain of this, Jaheira? I did not want to be a burden. |
| 18554 You have a place here, Jaheira, regardless of this mess. |
| 18555 You are no burden, <CHARNAME>; you are why I go on. I have friends to avenge, but life is also for the living. My life is worth pursuing. I... I hope you agree. |
| 18556 Come, enough sadness for the day. We have much to do, and... and together we will not fail. |
| 18557 I take strength from the group, but... more so in your company. I have friends to avenge, but life is also for the living. Life is worth pursuing. I... I hope you agree. |
| 18558 I can't. I'm allergic! Well, all right, I'm not that allergic... |

| 18596 I am not one to complain, but surely I can be of some greater use here? |

| 18637 But... what? |
| 18638 But I'm on good terms with Harpers, and I don't want that to change. Word's got around about what happened. Jaheira... it ain't true, is it? |
| 18639 Not the way they tell it, Bernard. You know me, so trust in what I do. |
| 18640 Good enough fer me. Business as usual between you and me then. |
| 18641 In Torm's name, I shall serve. |

| 18645 He's in the lower... Gods, no! He comes! He's here! |
| 18646 I cannot be caged. |
| 18647 Hello, little one. You and I have a great deal to do. |

| 18654 This group is yours to reform as you see fit, though dropping me for another does not seem like the wisest choice. I will abide by your decision though. |
| 18655 You! You are the ones who have caused the sphere to travel once again! You fools! I was close to escaping! |
| 18656 Lavok! |
| 18657 You will die, mortals! You and your kind have stood in my way for far too long! |
| 18658 You will not pass! I shall fulfill my family's vow and end your hideous life once and for all! |
| 18659 You understand nothing, mortal! I am not who you seek... this be merely the body! And your intrusion has caused the sphere to leap back to my own dimension! |
| 18660 Wh-where am I? The force that possessed me is... is gone? |
| 18661 What is this? Some manner of trick? |
| 18662 The Amazing Oopah |

| 18665 I am your descendant, Lavok. I am Valygar Corthala, and I will not allow you to take my body to extend your life. Since you yet live, I shall end it now! |
| 18666 Corthala... yes, I remember this now. My family. Oh, I am dying, Valygar Corthala, of that you can be certain. Nothing would bring me greater relief. |
| 18667 Eh? I warn you, necromancer, I shall not be fooled! |
| 18668 Export Character |
| 18669 Nor do I intend to fool you, young one. I have been imprisoned in my own mind by that strange force for half an eternity. Death would be a blessing. |
| 18670 Are you trying to tell me that you are not evil? That you are not the sorcerer who preyed upon his own family as a ghoul would, whose legacy has haunted my family always? |
| 18671 No, no. I am he. I am all those things that you have said and more. |
| 18672 I have spent half an eternity keeping that force from prying the secrets of the sphere from my mind. I could not unleash it upon... my home. Thank you for ending its existence. |
| 18673 And this should redeem you for all you have done? I say it is a fitting punishment! |
| 18674 Indeed it is. I have had years of pain and anguish to consider my sins. I can offer to you nothing other than my sorrow, Valygar, if I have brought you pain. |

| 18678 If I could call it all back... Ah... if I could go back and convince the man I once was that the sphere was a mission of pride doomed to failure. |
| 18679 But I cannot. Death shall release me soon enough from my overlong life. |
| 18680 I... |
| 18681 I would ask one thing of you, Valygar Corthala, although I know you have no reason to grant it to me. |
| 18682 I... I don't... what would you ask of me? |
| 18683 I would wish to see the sky of my homeworld one final time. To be at peace, knowing that I have died in the place I was born so long ago. |
| 18684 This... this is not a trick? |
| 18685 It is no trick, my descendant. I have no strength left for tricks, nor any desire. I humbly beg it of you. |
| 18686 You are not the man I expected, Lavok. I... I shall do as you ask. |
| 18687 My family's vow has been fulfilled, and I am now safe... and yet I feel little satisfaction. I had no idea it would be like this. |
| 18688 Could he actually have been redeemed? After all that time? Did he actually fight that demon to prevent it from escaping the sphere? |
| 18689 If you had asked me such a question even a day ago, I would have answered that such redemption was impossible. Now I am not so sure. |
| 18690 I think, perhaps, that I do not know all that I think I do... I have not seen as much of the world as I thought I did. A disturbing realization. |
| 18691 I would continue to travel with you if you would allow me. If there is so much I am not aware of, I must discover it. Will you have me? |
| 18692 I would be glad to have you in my company, Valygar. |
| 18693 He is dead. Lavok the necromancer is finally dead... I can scarce believe it. |
| 18694 That's it! You are dead meat! |
| 18695 As you wish, although I cannot promise it will be for long. |
| 18696 I do not think it would be wise, Valygar. I suggest you find your own way. |
| 18697 I've no desire to travel with a useless lout like yourself. You haven't seen nearly half the world as I have, and I'll not be the one to teach it to a mewling brat like yourself. |
| 18698 My thanks, <CHARNAME>. I will not fail you. |
| 18699 I will travel with you for as long as I can, <CHARNAME>. Without you, I would still be hiding in the forest. You have my thanks and my company for as long as you wish it. |
| 18700 I shall return to my home here in the city, then. If you change your mind, I shall be there for a short while before I leave for good. I wish you well on your journey, my friend. |
| 18701 Hm. A side to you I hadn't noticed. Very well... I'll find my own way and likely be the better for it. I wish you well, <CHARNAME>. |
| 18702 Wh-where am I? The force that possessed me isâ€â€is gone? |
| 18703 What force? I see nothing but an evil necromancer bleeding to death before me. |
| 18704 You are in your planar sphere, dying. Where did you think you would be? |
| 18705 What's this? Have you lost your senses, old man? |
| 18706 The force is... gone. I thank you for releasing me from the burden of containing this creature. I have been a prisoner in my own mind longer than I can remember. |
| 18707 Containing the force? Why would you do that? |
| 18708 Just how long have you been a prisoner? |
| 18709 I am dying, friend... but I see clear. Thank you for releasing me from the long burden of fighting that force... even I would not release such a being upon my home. |
| 18710 I am no friend of yours. Are you not the evil wizard Lavok? |
| 18711 What do you mean "fighting" the force? I saw no manner of demon, and I saw no fight. |
| 18712 Just how long have you been fighting this thing? |
| 18713 It took all my power to keep him from prying the knowledge of the sphere from what remained of my soul... and it has been so long I can barely remember when it all began. |
| 18714 I would not allow it to pry the secrets of the sphere from me! If it escaped, it would have devastated the entire plane eventually. Even I could not allow that. |
| 18715 You seem to be trying to sound almost noble... are you not the terrible necromancer Lavok? |
| 18716 Why would you bother trying to fight the force at all? |
| 18717 You know of me? Has word of my foul existence lived to even this day? |
| 18718 I know of you through your descendant Valygar. He said you would try to take over his body to extend your life, and that you had done as much to others before. |
| 18719 Corthala...? Yes, I do remember now. My family. Aye, I am everything he said and more. |
| 18720 I was the scourge of the living before I left this plane... I terrorized my own blood and tampered with the laws of life and death. Evil and arrogant was I indeed. |
| 18721 ...ah... if I could go back and convince the man I once was that the sphere was a mission of pride doomed to failure. |
| 18722 If you meet Valygar again, tell him that I am sorry for all the grief and sorrow that I have brought to him, for what little good it might do. |
| 18723 I... I can feel my last breaths coming upon me, but I have some time yet. Time enough for one last bargain. You... you there, <PRO_RACE>... might I bargain with you? |
| 18724 Tell me what you wish, and I shall consider it. |
| 18725 I would rather maintain my distance and wait for your death to come. I trust no necromancer... especially not one that I have just fought and lost friends battling. |
| 18726 This... is all I ask, no tricks or subterfuge. I... beg it of you, stranger. |

| 18736 You? Are you not the evil necromancer Lavok? |
| 18737 Ah, it is the sky after all. I had forgotten how it looked after so long. I thank you... I... I wish... |
| 18738 Ah, it is the sky after all. I had forgotten how it looked after so long. I thank you... and I wish to repay you for your kindness... |
| 18739 ...I sense within you a power and ability similar to my own, yes? You are a wizard. Yes, I am correct. |
| 18740 Take the planar sphere, wizard. I grant it to you, in payment for my release. Use it... use it far more wisely than I ever did... |
| 18741 I shall do my utmost. |
| 18742 I have buried many fallen comrades... Let us endeavor to remain hale this day. |
| 18743 Yes? May I help you? You are not a friend of the master's, are you? |
| 18744 No, I'm not. Can you tell me who lives here? |
| 18745 Er... why, yes, I am. He said I could look around if I wished. |
| 18746 Friend or not, you'll stand aside while I look about. |
| 18747 No, I'm not. Sorry to intrude, I'll be leaving. |
| 18748 Not a friend, exactly. I'm looking for Valygar, and I was wondering if I might ask you a few questions. |
| 18749 Actually, I am a friend of Valygar's. Do you know where I might find him? |
| 18750 Well, yes, of course. This is the house of the good Master Corthala. Valygar Corthala. I am Hervo, his manservant, if you will. |
| 18751 Yes, well, I'm a friend of Valygar's, and he said I could look around. |
| 18752 Then I have the right place. I am looking for Valygar, and I was wondering if I might ask you a few questions. |
| 18753 I doubt that, my <LADYLORD>. The young master has not been in the city for a couple of weeks. Please leave or I shall call the garrison. |
| 18754 Good. Then you won't mind if I look about. |
| 18755 Do you know when Valygar might be returning? |
| 18756 Thank you, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 18757 Oh, my! More people looking for Master Corthala, is it? You are not one of those awful wizards, are you? |
| 18758 Don't hurt me! Those horrible... peasants... have done enough! |
| 18759 P-please don't hurt me! Oh, what am I to do?! |
| 18760 Jaheira is what I am called, as you should well know. We have traveled together for some time, and the places we have gone number too many to name. |
| 18761 Well done, my friend! Truly, I doubted that you would survive to meet me. Welcome to my domain. I regret that my hospitality will result in your deaths. At them, my shadows! If they be fools, my other beasts shall strike them down. If not, the task shall fall to you, my shades. The circus now truly begins! |
| 18762 Nooooooo! *cough* *cough* *cough* This isn't what was supposed to happen! This isn't what was promised to me! |
| 18763 I cannot stay here, however. I will probably be in Athkatla, as the Harpers have a base of sorts within. If you can find it, that's where I'll be. |
| 18764 No, I am not. Why? Why do you call them awful? |
| 18765 No, I am not one of the Cowled Wizards, but I am seeking Valygar on their behalf. |
| 18766 That does not concern you. Simply answer my questions and you shall not come to harm. |
| 18767 Perhaps... this will be for the best. I will try to find assistance from my fellow druids, southwest of Trademeet. They will be able to help, I am sure. |
| 18768 A friend of the master's? Oh dear, he has been gone for quite some time. No, I'm afraid I haven't heard from him since those awful wizards came to see him. |
| 18769 Some wizards came to see him? When was this? |
| 18770 If you find Ployer in the meantime, be sure to kill him once for me. I would very much appreciate it. |
| 18771 Well, he did murder two of them, didn't he? I don't expect anyone could do that to the Cowled Wizards and expect to get away with it. |
| 18772 This... this is unexpected. I had thought we were closer than simple group comrades. Not that I doubt you, but should I leave the group, I doubt things will be the same between us. |
| 18773 Perhaps you could answer a couple of questions of mine, then. |
| 18774 Perhaps you would let me look around the house, then. Maybe he left something behind showing a clue as to his whereabouts. |
| 18775 Perhaps you would let me look around the house, then. Maybe he left something behind showing a clue as to his whereabouts. |
| 18776 I do not wish to leave your... company. Certainly you must still want me around? You have said as much, even if not using those exact words. |
| 18777 Perhaps you would let me look around the house, then. Maybe he left something behind showing a clue as to his whereabouts. |
| 18778 I most certainly will not! You'll not rob the master's house while I am here! Guards! Thieves! |
| 18779 Of course, Jaheira, please stay. I do not wish you to leave; it was just a word misspoken. |
| 18780 This is not easy, but I feel it is necessary. Perhaps I will come and collect you later. |
| 18781 You are mistaken. This is the best move for the group as a whole, and I will not be swayed. |
| 18782 Oh, well as you wish. Good business to you, then. |
| 18783 I am glad of this. I have... I have high hopes for what we will accomplish in the future. |
| 18784 I certainly do mind! I'll not allow the master's house to be robbed while he is gone! Leave at once or I shall call the guard! |
| 18785 You may, but it will not be the same. I will likely be in Athkatla, near the Harper Hold that is there. Take your time in finding me. |
| 18786 No, I am sorry I don't. Ever since that sordid business with the wizards, I don't know if the master will ever be returning. |
| 18787 Sordid business? Your master had some kind of dealings with wizards? |
| 18788 I see. If this is the way it shall be... I will probably be in Athkatla, near the Harper Hold. You may seek me there, though it matters little. |
| 18789 Yes, I understand he murdered two of them. No doubt the Cowled Wizards will not rest until they find him. |
| 18790 I see. Well, in that case, I shall be leaving. |
| 18791 The ordeal with the Cowled Wizards was just awful. They came here two weeks ago, demanding to see Master Corthala. I was just shaking in my shoes. |
| 18792 I heard them upstairs. They demanded that the master do something, and he refused. I remember poor Master Corthala was so upset he was shouting, he was. |
| 18793 This is not wise. We should be making all haste to the Harper Hold in Athkatla. I... I do not look forward to the trip, so I will not force you to go, but it would be best if you complied. |
| 18794 There was a loud crash... fighting. I was terrified when the wizards came back down the stairs alone. They said Valygar had committed murder and must pay. |
| 18795 Master Corthala had slipped away from them. The wizards told me not to say anything, but I am desperate with worry. Do you think the master is all right? |
| 18796 *cough* *cough* You've... you've killed me... destroyed Kalah with your misplaced morals and beastly greed for adventure... |
| 18797 I will await your arrival at the Hold. They will have my assurances that you are on your way. Do not make a liar of me. |
| 18798 I fear the actions of my fellow Harpers may have colored your view of me. I assure you I wish to be in no other place than by your side. |
| 18799 I am not sure, but if the Cowled Wizards are after him, it is likely that he is in great danger. Are you sure you have no idea where he has gone? |
| 18800 I am not sure, but if the Cowled Wizards are after him, it is likely that he is in great danger. Are you sure you have no idea where he has gone? |
| 18801 I am not sure, but if the Cowled Wizards are after him, it is likely that he is in great danger. Are you sure you have no idea where he has gone? |
| 18802 Then I will answer none of your questions! This whole thing is just terrible! I thought nothing ill of the wizards until they did this to the poor master! |
| 18803 What do you mean? What did they do to him? |
| 18804 What has passed here, gnome? You replaced the circus with your personal playground? |
| 18805 It is none of your concern. If you answer my questions, no harm will come to you. |
| 18806 You deserve to die, gnome. How many have suffered so that you might keep your illusions of grandeur? |
| 18807 Very well. If you insist on being stubborn, I shall have to search the house. |
| 18808 Very well. I suppose I shall leave, then. |
| 18809 You are done talking, gnome. You'll be dead in moments. |
| 18810 In Amn... a mage is a criminal and a gnome is a spectacle. In this tent... in my world... Kalah was the master, where none would dare to laugh... |
| 18811 That does not concern you. Simply answer my questions and you shall not come to harm. |
| 18812 I... I see. What did you wish to know? |
| 18813 I want to be absolutely certain that you know nothing of Valygar's whereabouts. |
| 18814 Tell me about Valygar... does he have any friends? |
| 18815 What of the circus employees, Kalah? What have you done with all those that have disappeared into this tent? |
| 18816 modify characters |
| 18817 Never mind. I shall be leaving. |
| 18818 You are done talking, gnome. You'll be dead in moments. |
| 18819 Have I... have I made a mistake investing my time in you? I doubt I will see you in the same fashion if I can be cast aside as any other party member. |
| 18820 Murder? Heavens, no! Let me tell you what happened! |
| 18821 And it has left you with nothing. You built your future on nothing. |
| 18822 I wish you to stay here, by my side. |
| 18823 What more would you be? I think it best that you leave, at least for a time. |
| 18824 I... I see. Then I was foolish. I will not... show such weakness again. I will be at the Harper Hold in Athkatla. I look forward... I will await you there. |
| 18825 Then I will stay. Please do not suggest such things again. We must make haste to the Harper Hold in Athkatla. They will not wait forever. |
| 18826 I... I beg your pardon? I may have misheard your decision; you... you wish me to leave? But... I wish to be no other place than here, with... with you. I could not come back if I am wrong. Tell me you have misspoken. |
| 18827 It was not my intent that you should go. Stay; I would have you nowhere else. |
| 18828 I have not. It would be best if you left the group for a time. |
| 18829 That is good to know. I have few others to turn to now and I... I value our time together. |
| 18830 Curse me for a fool then. Why I thought... I will not show such weakness again. So be it; I will venture off on my own. |
| 18831 I am not sure where I will go. Goodbye, <CHARNAME>. I do not think we will meet again. |
| 18832 What? You cannot mean I stood by you through a very difficult time; I have turned my back on many of my own brethren! Am I to be cast aside like any other member of the group? I'm not sure I could return after something like this. |
| 18833 Then don't go. I value the contribution you make and don't want you to leave. |
| 18834 I would not ask you to. I think it best that you leave the group. |
| 18835 I thank you. I have a lot invested in this group, and I should not like to leave just yet. |
| 18836 I see. Well, I will not waste my breath arguing. I will go... I cannot go to the Harpers here. I will go... where? Goodbye, <CHARNAME>, I doubt we shall meet again. |
| 18837 A medium shield is carried in the same manner as a small shield. Unlike the small shield, however, its weight prevents the character from using <PRO_HISHER> shield hand for anything other than carrying the medium shield. This penalty is offset by the fact that this shield is magical, granting an additional +1 protection to its wearer. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 6 |
| 18838 That is rather odd, but I would like to know if the master is all right. The master was paranoid about thieves, so when you look around, be careful. |
| 18839 A small shield is usually round and is carried on the forearm, gripped with the shield hand. Its light weight as compared to a medium shield permits the user to carry other items in that hand, although <PRO_HESHE> cannot wield or carry another weapon. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 – No protection against missile attacks Requires: 4 Strength Weight: 3 |
| 18840 Oh, I don't think that is such a good idea, no. Tsk tsk. No, I don't think so. |
| 18841 Well then, perhaps you could answer a couple of my questions. |
| 18842 I plan on looking around whether you like it or not. |
| 18843 Tell me, then, what happened with the wizards. |
| 18844 Very well, then... I'll be leaving. |
| 18845 It is hard to say. Perhaps if you let me have a look about the house, I might find some clues as to his whereabouts. |
| 18846 It is hard to say. Perhaps if you let me have a look about the house, I might find some clues as to his whereabouts. |
| 18847 It is hard to say. Perhaps if you let me have a look about the house, I might find some clues as to his whereabouts. |
| 18848 I'm not sure. I'll be leaving now. |
| 18849 Hm. It truly puzzles me. I remember the family used to own some land in the Umar Hills. Perhaps the master has gone there. Is this helpful? |
| 18850 It may be. Thank you. |
| 18851 Not really... do you know of any friends that Valygar has? |
| 18852 It will have to be. I'll be on my way. |
| 18853 Well, the master has friends amongst the woodsmen and rangers. He was in the scouts, you see, up until a couple of years ago. Very skilled. |
| 18854 I don't remember any of his friends specifically. The Corthala family has a... a poor reputation amongst the nobles in this town, to tell the truth. |
| 18855 With typical grace, this elven structure serves as the field home of Elhan while his army battles the drow. |
| 18856 Poor reputation? Why is that? |
| 18857 Thank you, I think I'll be on my way. |
| 18858 No. I have no idea. I really think this is enough questions... I shall inform the master of your search when he returns, yes? Have a good day, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 18859 You shall not threaten me in my master's house! Guards! Help! |
| 18860 Yes, I think that is best. A good business to you. |
| 18861 I want to be absolutely certain that you know nothing of Valygar's whereabouts. |
| 18862 You are certainly welcome. Good business to you and good day. |
| 18863 Enchantment Dispelled |
| 18864 At any rate, I think it is time that you are leaving. A good day and good business to you, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 18865 Indifference killed those fools from the circus. I treat them in death as they were to me in life. A gnome gets no respect... I just wanted people to look up... to me. All that I have done... |
| 18866 The Corthalas have always had a talent for magic. Many dangerous sorcerers in the line... a bad thing in Athkatla. Not Master Corthala himself, of course. |
| 18867 You don't understand, do you? You take my life, but worse, you take my dignity. I just wanted... I wanted to be the king instead of... instead of... |
| 18868 You don't know... denied respect my entire life. A clown, a fool... it does not matter... I die as I... as I... |
| 18869 It is good to see you again, my <LADYLORD>. Was there something that you wished? |
| 18870 Yes. I have a letter here regarding Valygar's taxes. It says here that Valygar owns some land outside the city. Do you know anything about that? |
| 18871 Yes. I have a letter here regarding Valygar's taxes. It says here that Valygar owns some land outside the city. Do you know anything about that? |
| 18872 I was attacked by Cowled Wizards here... what do you know about that? |
| 18873 I was hoping you could tell me again who owns this place. |
| 18874 Yes, actually. I am looking for Valygar, and I was wondering if you could help me. |
| 18875 I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions. |
| 18876 I am Kalah the grand... but an illusionist in Amn is a criminal, and a gnome is a spectacle... I was a clown... I was promised a world where Kalah was master, where none would dare... |
| 18877 No, I think I'll take a look around here, if you don't mind. |
| 18878 No, I'll be on my way. |
| 18879 No, I do not make it my business to pry into the master's affairs. Perhaps you should be seeking out this Llarsh fellow in the government sector. |
| 18880 Attacked? Here?! By Helm, no, I did not know that. It wasn't those awful wizards again, was it? Oh, this is terrible! |
| 18881 I... I suppose so. What do you wish to know? |
| 18882 Can you tell me where I might find Valygar? |
| 18883 Can you tell me where I might find Valygar? |
| 18884 Can you tell me where I might find Valygar? |
| 18885 Does Valygar have any friends that he might be staying with? |
| 18886 What happened between Valygar and the Cowled Wizards? |
| 18887 Nothing, really. Excuse me. |
| 18888 Welcome to Corthala Manor. Is there something I can help you with, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 18889 These little beasties keep coming in through the portals. Perhaps if the portals are destroyed, one could defeat the beasts that have already come through. |
| 18890 Yes... Valygar told me that you would know how to get ahold of him. |
| 18891 Yes... Valygar told me that you would know how to get ahold of him. |
| 18892 Yes, actually. Valygar said he would be here... do you know where he is? |
| 18893 Potion of Extra Healing |
| 18894 No, thank you. I'll be leaving. |
| 18895 Actually, no. I can find my own way around. |
| 18896 When wholly consumed, this potion restores 27 Hit Points to the person. The effect is instantaneous, and the potion is destroyed in the process. STATISTICS: Special: Restores 27 Hit Points Weight: 1 |
| 18897 Er... yes. You are the <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>, is it? The master is... expecting you. He is upstairs for the moment. |
| 18898 I'll not put my master in any danger! How do I know I can trust you?! |
| 18899 I am not here to bring any harm to Valygar, I can assure you of that. |
| 18900 These little beasties keep coming in through the portals. Perhaps if the portals are destroyed, one could defeat the beasts that have already come through. |
| 18901 You don't need to trust me, just tell me where he is. |
| 18902 I have noticed that each wand is locked into the pedestal and could be removed if one had the proper key. I know not where these keys are. Let us begin! |
| 18903 Tell me where he is, you little troll, before I break your arm off! |
| 18904 Tell me where he is, you little troll, before I break your arm off! |
| 18905 I have no questions for you at this time. |
| 18906 I have no time for this. Excuse me. |
| 18907 I have done nothing to you, slurr'puk. Begone before you make me angry. |
| 18908 Oh, yes, of course. The master is upstairs at the moment. Go ahead, I believe he is expecting you. |
| 18909 It is very sad, with Master Corthala dead now. He has no family left, I understand... oh, I just don't know what I am to do! |
| 18910 I... I don't think that you should be here, however. Please leave at once! |
| 18911 Greetings to you, my lord. I trust everything is well? |
| 18912 As well as can be expected, Hervo. Thank you and... um... carry on. |
| 18913 Naturally, my lord. Welcome home. |
| 18914 Oh, now you are simply making me blush, male! But take your petty hatred elsewhere. |
| 18915 Yes, what is it? Can't you see that I'm quite busy? |
| 18916 Who are you? |
| 18917 I have a letter here that I would like to ask a question about. |
| 18918 I need to ask you a question. |
| 18919 Oh... pardon me. I'll be going. |
| 18920 Perfect. |
| 18921 Hmph. Well, you can't be a local, that's for sure. You are looking at the official herald for Athkatla, keeper of family crests and records. Now beat it. |
| 18922 Wait, I have something I need to ask you about. |
| 18923 Slings have existed since the beginning of recorded history. The basic sling consists of a leather or fabric strap with a pouch for holding the missile, however this one has been imbued with a small magical enchantment. The weapon is held by both ends of the strap and twirled around the wielder's head. When top speed is attained, the missile is launched by releasing one of the strap's ends. STATISTICS: THAC0: +1 Damage: +1 (missile) Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Sling Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 0 |
| 18924 Wait, I need to ask a question of you. |
| 18925 You needn't be rude. Somebody more inclined might take your head off. |
| 18926 All right, I'm going. |
| 18927 Hah! I'm a rather important person, silly <GIRLBOY>. Try it and you'll have the entire guard to deal with. Now begone. |
| 18928 Oh, what is it? Be quick. |
| 18929 I have a letter from you to Valygar Corthala, mentioning taxes that are due on his property and land. I need to know where his land is. |
| 18930 Never mind, I'll be leaving. |
| 18931 *sigh* Everyone always has questions, don't they? Fine. What is it? |
| 18932 One of the earliest weapons, dating back to the most primitive of times, the first spears were simply wooden poles or sticks sharpened at one end. When the civilized races mastered metals, spearheads were made from iron and steel. Having reached this end, weaponsmiths began experimenting with different types of spearheads, thus leading to the development of certain polearm types. This spear is slightly different though, as it has been imbued with certain magical properties.

| 18933 The simplest and humblest of staff weapons, the quarterstaff is a length of wood ranging six to nine feet in length. High quality quarterstaves are made of stout oak and are shod with metal at both ends. This one is particularly special as it has been imbued with magical properties.

| 18934 I understand one of the Cowled Wizards by the name of Tolgerias has been speaking to you. I would like to know what he wanted. |
| 18935 Never mind, I'll be going. |
| 18936 Corthala... Corthala. Ah, yes, I do remember that. I can give you the information, but the fee will be 100 gold pieces. |
| 18937 100 gold pieces?! That's outrageous! |
| 18938 Very well, here it is. |
| 18939 Never mind that. I have another question I need to ask of you. |
| 18940 Never mind, I'll be going. |
| 18941 A Cowled Wizard? Oh, HIM. Yes, I remember that one. Thinks he's all so important and so forth. Couldn't stand him. |
| 18942 I keep telling him there are no more members of the Corthala family in existence besides the one. Simply refuses to agree, the fool. |
| 18943 Why would he want to know about the Corthala family? |
| 18944 Well, that's the fee. Can't go around giving out information on Athkatla's families for free now, can I? Take it or leave it. |
| 18945 I guess I'll have to take it. Here you go. |
| 18946 Hello, young lady. Might I have a word or two? |
| 18947 Let me ask you another question, then. |
| 18948 I'll have to leave it, then. |
| 18949 Great, great. Let me flip through my files here... one second... |
| 18950 Ah, yes. Hmm. I'd forgotten about that. Seems this Corthala family is related to the wizard Lavok. How dreadful. |
| 18951 Lavok? Who is that? |
| 18952 Never mind that, tell me about the land. |
| 18953 Oh, something about the necromancer Lavok from long ago, I think. He was looking for blood relatives; I have no idea why. That family was cursed, I tell you. |
| 18954 One misfortune after another. Used to be one of the Great Families. Only that soldier fellow left, and he inherited only a house and some land outside the city. Tsk. |

The flames will do 8d6 damage to the target (with 1s taken as 2s), unless the target makes a Save vs. Wand in which case <PRO_HESHE> will take half.

| 19044 Two-Handed Sword, Cursed Berserking +3 This is a cursed sword which performs perfectly under every test, save the heat of battle. Upon entering combat, the wielder will immediately go berserk, killing everything within reach until either calming down or falling unconscious. A very powerful sword, but one must decide whether or not it is worth the risk. Even once the battle fury has ended, this sword can only be removed via an exorcism using a Remove Curse spell. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Causes the wielder to go berserk – May only be removed with a Remove Curse spell THAC0: +3 Damage: 1d10+3 (slashing) Speed Factor: 7 Proficiency Type: Two-handed Sword Type: Two-handed Requires: 14 Strength Weight: 15 |
| 19045 The two-handed sword is a derivative of the long sword. Weaponsmiths have always looked for ways to improve existing weapons. In an effort to improve the long sword, the blade was lengthened. Eventually, the handle had to be extended and two hands became necessary to properly swing the sword. The primary function of two-handed swords is cleaving mounted knights and breaking up pike formations. This one is particularly good at its job as it has been enchanted with a few magical properties.

| 19050 Yes, yes, I know... Valygar is his name. What is this about land outside the city? |
| 19051 Lavok, yes. Powerful sorcerer or some such from about five centuries ago. Has something to do with that big silver sphere that appeared in the slums, if you haven't seen it. |
| 19052 Hmm. According to the files here, the Corthala family has a wee bit of land in the Umar Hills area. Dreadful area. Likely isn't worth much, all forested up as it is. |
| 19053 When asked about his past, HAER'DALIS states that he is from the city of Sigil, a nexus of the planes and the ever-changing domain of the Lady of Pain. He claims he cannot explain it better than that, as the planars defy description by their very nature. Haer'Dalis traveled with a troupe of players, tieflings of planetouched heritage like he, and they put on masterful productions to amuse both cambion and common berk alike. An indiscretion led to the troupe fleeing to the Prime Material Plane... here... which didn't bother Haer'Dalis much. He says that he is a Doomguard, believing in the inevitable decay of all things to make way for the new. The troupe has divided, but the tiefling bard is confident that new experience can only come of it. |

The size, weight and strength of the shells make them highly sought after in many situations, including the creation of armor. STATISTICS: Weight: 100 |

| 19307 Excuse me, I must be going. |
| 19308 Your name is well known amongst those who watch. Your life's thread is bright indeed, though in your path lies many a dark and frayed end. |
| 19309 Did he, now? Find the so-called murderer, is it? Bah. The fool should let up on this nonsense. |

| 19311 You don't sound like you like Tolgerias very much. |

| 19313 Hmph. Him and his group of allies are simply obsessed, they are. They're going to end up endangering the entire guild, I think. |
| 19314 This spell heals the character by 14 Hit Points. |
| 19315 Do you know what it is he's so obsessed with? |
| 19316 I think I should be going. Excuse me. |
| 19317 Nay, I suppose not. The bloody fool has been lurking about the guild house, setting up his plans without telling anyone. Hmph. |
| 19318 You don't sound like you like Tolgerias very much. |
| 19319 What do you know about his plans? |
| 19320 Excuse me, I think I must leave. |
| 19321 As you wish. Off you go. |
| 19322 He explains his sadistic game: In each cell, there is a magical button. If you press your button and your sibling does not, you will die, but your sibling is free. |
| 19323 If your sibling presses the button and you do not, they will die, but you will go free. If neither you nor your sibling press the buttons, both of you will die. |
| 19324 Not much. Not except that Tolgerias has been bothering the city's herald fiercely for many days now and returns more enraged than before. He should give up the entire thing, I think. |
| 19325 Bothering the herald? What about? |
| 19326 What is it, exactly, that he should give up? |
| 19327 You don't sound like you like Tolgerias very much. |
| 19328 I think I should be going. |
| 19329 Well now, if he didn't tell you, he doesn't want you to know. Tolgerias's plans are his own, even to those he should be telling, the fool. |
| 19330 What do you know of his plans? |
| 19331 You don't sound like you like Tolgerias very much. |

| 19382 I might be. What is in it for me? |

| 19397 You have noticed the prevailing attitude against magic in Athkatla, yes? If we allow this murderer to remain free, many will think they can take arms against us. |
| 19398 The Cowled Wizards have worked tirelessly to maintain our hold here. But... the commoners refuse to speak to us. They might speak to you. |
| 19399 And what might my reward be for performing such a task? |
| 19400 Very well. I shall do as you ask. |
| 19401 No, I've no interest in hunting this man for you. Find someone else to perform this task. |
| 19402 Ah, the reward. Adventurers have much use for items the Cowled Wizards possess. It is sad that magic is so despised in Athkatla, for it has many uses. |
| 19403 We will offer you an item of substantial magical power as well as a good deal of gold coin. What say you, then... will you find this man for us? |
| 19404 I would like to know why you think I can find Valygar better than you can. |

| 19409 Imoen? Ah, the girl arrested along with the wizard. I do not have such inconsequential information on me. You must put such demands aside. |
| 19410 I see. Just what makes you think I will be able to find this Valygar better than you? |
| 19411 I would like to know what kind of reward I am looking at for this. |
| 19412 Very well, then. I agree to perform this task. |
| 19413 I cannot put it aside, and I refuse to work for you unless you tell me where she is. |
| 19414 Perhaps. Members of your order, however, arrested a friend of mine: Imoen. I would know where she is first. |
| 19415 Very good. Now... it is my belief that you know too much of Cowled Wizard business. It is time to be rid of you, as well as our friend Valygar. My apologies. |
| 19416 It may lead us to Valygar. Beyond that, it is none of your concern. Hand it to me at once! |
| 19417 Very well... here you go. |
| 19418 I will not! |
| 19419 Excellent. The Cowled Wizards will hold you to your word. This matter must be handled with discretion as well as expediency. |
| 19420 Once you have Valygar in custody, bring him to me. I shall wait here in this building, as I doubt you could locate the Cowled Wizards' headquarters. |
| 19421 Valygar may resist. If he does, you must kill him and bring the body to us. Dead or alive, you MUST bring him to me, you understand, yes? |
| 19422 I am no murderer! I shall not perform this task! |
| 19423 Yes, I understand. This is not a problem. |
| 19424 This room is dominated by mineral deposits and crystals. It seems to be a natural cavern that this strange prison has been built around. The air holds an aura of power, and several pools with swirling lights grace the edge of the rough cavern. |
| 19425 I wish to know something. Members of your order arrested a friend of mine: Imoen. I would know where she is before I agree to anything. |
| 19426 This machine buzzes with electrical energy. |
| 19427 Hmph. Such a declaration is dangerous, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. The Cowled Wizards will not treat treachery lightly. Perform your task or things will get... unpleasant. |
| 19428 We will if need be. This is a delicate matter, we shall not allow it to be dealt with callously. Perform your task, and do so quickly, or suffer our wrath. |
| 19429 Excellent. I expect nothing less. I await the sight of this murderer's body soon. |
| 19430 I will not. Find someone else to do your dirty work! |
| 19431 As you step through the doorway, an alarm sounds and then abruptly stops. |
| 19432 The prophecy of Sekolah I have spoken to the rebel, Prince Villynaty, and agreed with his plan to help overthrow the mad sahuagin king. I am to bring the king a false heart. Then, while the king is so greedily unprepared, Villynaty and his men will attack. I am to wait until then before I attack the king or any of his guards. |
| 19433 If you intend to force me, then I suppose I have no choice in the matter. |
| 19434 Perhaps we have met. We traveled in much the same circles, though not at the same time. Terminsel is the... ahh... name, and I should like to ask ye a question. |
| 19435 Do... I know you? I... Your voice is familiar, but I cannot place your face. |
| 19436 Yes, well, calm down for the moment, if ye will. I am well versed in the events that have occurred, and I have but a simple question to put to ye. |
| 19437 We met among the Harpers, did we not? I am through with them. Many a decent person I met, but damned if I'll be crucified for the failures of their own. |
| 19438 Inside the drow city I have been discovered, and the alarm has been sounded throughout the drow city. Getting anywhere will be problematic at best. Obviously, I should have been more careful. |
| 19439 Oh, this will clear up a great many things. I care little for the specifics of what occurred in the Harper Hold. No, Jaheira, I've a question of a different sort to ask. |
| 19440 Ah, I see you have tracked me down here. Have you changed your mind regarding my proposal? |
| 19441 My brother is a +12 Hackmaster! *snicker* |
| 19442 Yes, I have. Join me and we will enter the planar sphere together. |
| 19443 No. But I have changed my mind about bringing your body to the Cowled Wizards! |
| 19444 No. Actually, I'll be leaving again. |
| 19445 I thank you for helping me this way. I am nervous about the possibility of facing my ancestor, not to mention the Cowled Wizards, but it must be done if I am to have peace. |
| 19446 Bastard and traitor! As you wish! You'll not find Valygar a sitting target! |
| 19447 The sanctity of the mistress's room has been violated. The intruders will die! |
| 19448 As you wish. |
| 19449 Greetings once again, my friend. Have you changed your mind about my joining your travels? |
| 19450 The chambers of the master's wife have been entered. All must be destroyed. |
| 19451 I have. I would welcome your presence. |
| 19452 No, not really. I'll be on my way again. |
| 19453 I look forward to your companionship. Let us be underway, then. |
| 19454 As you wish. I will not remain here long, however. A safe journey to you, friend. |
| 19455 Then do so. I wish this matter behind me once and for all. |
| 19456 We shall strike a blow deep into evil's heart! There is no more worthy a cause. |
| 19457 For better or for worse, ye have thrown thy fate in with this <CHARNAME>, and <PRO_HESHE> is, among many other things, a child of Bhaal. Yes, I know of this, so look ye not surprised. |
| 19458 Torm take you! |
| 19459 I know of thy feelings for him, and the turmoil within ye. A rocky road is this relationship, worse still in the midst of avenging fallen friends and lovers. |
| 19460 I'll test your mettle with cold steel! |
| 19461 Be thee not of impure heart or thou wilt surely destroy thyself. Kalah is the One Ruler, the One True Being. |
| 19462 Who exactly is Kalah, and where is this realm of his that I have come to? |
| 19463 Thank you for your welcome, and I shall most certainly beware. |

| 19505 The ancient text is yellowed and crumbling, and written in a language that is far-removed from modern-day Common. Still, portions of it are translatable with effort. Overall, the book describes the burial of King Strohm III, and how great efforts were made to keep his tomb safe from the graverobbers that would surely follow once his kingdom fell due to treachery within. The king's son, Strohm IV, apparently commissioned the creation of a mask of his father that would allow access to the tomb. How it does so is not clear in the text, although it is mentioned that the mask is kept in six separate pieces by six Guardians that had been summoned by Strohm's vizier... and that these Guardians would only surrender the mask to one of Strohm's bloodline.

His only concern was to ask Jaheira if she regretted her actions... and she did not. Jaheira's steadfast belief in her cause appears to have won the day.

And it appears that "Terminsel" turned out to be none other than Elminster himself. Odd, I have heard he does not usually get involved in such things. His interest in those in my company is quite curious. |

| 19766 You ain't seen nothin'. (A sack of coin is handed to the guard.) |
| 19767 N-no! You cannot do this! |
| 19768 Quiet! Or ye'll be squished, bug! |
| 19769 You! You there! By Helm, please help me! |
| 19770 I says quiet! |
| 19771 Shady Character |
| 19772 I guess I can't blame you for forgetting. All I remember is us getting jumped near Baldur's Gate. It was quick... |
| 19773 Shady Character |
| 19774 The blessing of Helm upon you! Thank you for saving me from the life of a slave! |
| 19775 Can I trust you? I don't remember a thing. |
| 19776 Doing things? What do you mean? |
| 19777 All right, I'm moving. I ache all over though. |
| 19778 Save me! Help me, please! |
| 19779 Get lost. It be none o' yer business. |

| 19789 It must be because he's been messing with our heads. I don't remember much, but I know it... it hurt. <CHARNAME>, I just have to get out of here. |
| 19790 I haven't seen anything. Move along, citizen. |
| 19791 There's nothing going on in the slums. |

| 19797 Keep your business to yourself, citizen. |
| 19798 It is no wonder that the master was able to take you so easily despite all of your magical equipment. Even for a fleshling, you don't catch on very quickly. |
| 19799 Don't stick yer nose where it don't belong, boss. It ain't healthy. |
| 19800 Come on, <CHARNAME>, don't make me think of it. He did the same to you, I think. I heard you screaming like it, anyway. |
| 19801 If I had the power to give you your weapon, I would, but the force that binds me is strong. As long as I am trapped within this flask, I am within the mage's power. |
| 19802 Welcome, <PRO_LADYLORD>, to Kalah's realm. Be thee not of impure mind, for surely Lord Kalah shall destroy thee. |
| 19803 Is 'ere somethin' specific ye want? |
| 19804 Who were those people who went into this building? |
| 19805 That man with those men was crying for help! |
| 19806 No, not really. |
| 19807 Yeah, me too, but my head hurts the most. Yours too by the sound of the screaming. We just have to get out of here. |
| 19808 Smart. |
| 19809 Oh, that. Jus' a prisoner bein' escorted, is all. |
| 19810 A prisoner? It certainly didn't look that way. |
| 19811 We'll go, but I must know who is behind this. |
| 19812 I'll not let a little headache get in my way. |
| 19813 But that man was crying for help! |
| 19814 We'll get out and then figure out what's going on. |
| 19815 I want to know who's behind this. I owe them a debt of pain. |
| 19816 I see. I'll be on my way, then. |
| 19817 A little headache is not going to stop me. |
| 19818 We'll get out and then figure out what's going on. |
| 19819 We can't run around blindly. Who's behind this? |
| 19820 I heard you. A headache is no excuse for poor planning though. |
| 19821 We'll get out and then figure out what's going on. |
| 19822 Yeah, well. Prisoners tend to do that, they do. |
| 19823 A prisoner? It certainly didn't look that way. |
| 19824 Who were those men who were with him? They certainly didn't look like Amnian guards! What's going on here? |
| 19825 Perhaps I'll do that. |
| 19826 Rahvin |

| 19828 This? It's an inn. Copper Coronet. Go in an' ask fer yerself. |
| 19829 Why would you bring a prisoner to an inn? |
| 19830 It's none o' yer business. If ye has a concern, mayhap you should tell a guard, aye? |
| 19831 How did you get free if our captor is so powerful? |
| 19832 If we're in such danger, how did you get free? |
| 19833 How did you get free in the first place? |

| 19878 Hmph. I was expectin' some fellows to arrive here shortly. Ye haven't seen anyone, have ye? |
| 19886 Later! I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I could get loose again if he came back! My head hurts so bad... |
| 19894 This flask that I am bound in is a creation of magic. It is unbreakable as long as it remains apart from its twin, the real flask. |
| 19904 Well now, that's a mighty stumper, it is. |
| 19913 What? What are they doin' all the ways down 'ere? Idiots! |
| 19914 What?! Well, ye're in fer a world o' trouble now, you is! |
| 19915 It isn't like a normal pain. <CHARNAME>, it's on the inside, like my bones made a little dagger and it won't go away. |
| 19916 You are welcome to try. While I am bound, neither myself nor the flask can be damaged. While I am bound, I cannot give you your weapon. |
| 19917 Oy, me good noble <LADYLORD>. A good business to ye. And a good business to me as well. Kindly hand o'er yer fat purse, aye? |
| 19918 Good, because I don't know if I could get loose again if I had to. Not with the pain in my head... |
| 19919 I'll not be robbed by the likes of you. |
| 19920 I'll not be robbed by the likes of you. |
| 19921 All right, here you go. |
| 19922 There was fighting... my cell was damaged. I don't know if I could get out again. The pain in my head is getting worse. |
| 19923 I am afraid I have no money to give. |
| 19924 Well then, ye'll be murdered by the likes o' me, aye? |
| 19925 Mmmm... mayhap I'll be lookin' somewhere else then. |
| 19926 He will keep the flask close to himself. The master would not risk it falling into other hands. Perhaps he keeps it in his chambers, or with his dryad concubines. Perhaps the golems have it. |
| 19927 Thank ye, me <LADYLORD>, ye're a kind soul, you is. |
| 19928 Surely a rich noble such as yerself must ha' something. I will jus' have t' find it fer meself. |
| 19929 I don't think it's our gear. They probably sold our best stuff, but anything is better than nothing. Now let's go! |
| 19930 At last! I am free! Here is your item, fleshling. You are an honorable person, and I feel that I must warn you. Keep away from the master! |
| 19931 A foin business t' ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. Moyt I be askin' such a foin <PRO_LADYLORD> for a spare coin or two t' feed a poor woman's wee ones? |
| 19932 Certainly. Here is a gold piece for you. |
| 19933 Blasted beggar's immune! |
| 19934 I'll carry no more. It be on the ground if ye want it back. |
| 19935 And just how many children do you have? |
| 19937 Away from me, beggar! |

| 19946 Good, I didn't want to go by myself. I need you around, <CHARNAME>. Don't want to be here alone. |
| 19947 I be havin' two lil wee ones... no, FOUR wee ones... all wi' their starvin' mouths... er... |
| 19948 I see. You don't know how many children you have, exactly? |
| 19949 Ha! Can't keep your story straight, eh? You'll get no money from me. |
| 19950 Stop being like that! I know it's just because he messed with your head, but that excuse only goes so far. |
| 19951 I was a... faithful hound to the master. A friend, even. I was... dying... or dead, I cannot remember which. Truly you are a stranger to this place. |
| 19952 Oh, ye're a sodden piece o' ore, you is! Bleedin' kobold! |
| 19953 I'm not going to step on your tail. You've been the responsible one forever, and I don't plan on making changes here. |
| 19954 Ooooh, a bleedin' brass day, this is! I'll be a pulp fer sure! |
| 19955 I begin to understand. The master has left my side for study of another. He seeks to awaken power... a study of life and death, but I cannot bear the roll of years. |
| 19956 If we split up, it will be easier for us to sneak out of here. |
| 19957 I didn't mean to scare you. Let's stay together. |
| 19958 Beat it, Imoen. We stand a better chance acting separately. |
| 19959 Garclax |
| 19960 Garclax |
| 19961 I guess that makes sense, but it feels wrong. My head... hurts more when we split up. I guess I'll manage. I'm not going to let the dagger get me. |
| 19962 Good and good. We have to watch each other's back. It's weird too; my head hurts more when we split. I... I don't know why that is. |
| 19963 Kylie Jansen |
| 19964 Kylie Jansen |
| 19965 No... no... NO! I'm not dying here! I'm not! Oh, my head hurts! I have to get to the surface. I have to go! |
| 19966 Aye now... would ye be a mite interested in buyin' a few wares at th' barest prices in Athkatla? |
| 19967 Certainly. Let me see what you have. |
| 19968 These items of yours wouldn't be stolen, would they? |
| 19969 Not interested. |
| 19970 Now 'at's th' spirit! |
| 19971 Perhaps could I ask a few questions of you first? |
| 19972 If ye has t' ask, then p'raps ye already knows th' answer, aye? |
| 19973 Very well. Let me look at what you have for sale, then. |
| 19974 Then I have no interest in your goods. |
| 19975 Oy'm not here t' chat. Oy might be movin' on pretty soon. If ye has a question, makes it quick... an' then buys something, aye? |
| 19976 All right, let me look at what you have to sell. |
| 19977 No, I'm not interested. |
| 19978 Well 'en. It's a rare mate who don't worry none about th' care o' <PRO_HISHER> pocketbook. Another time, aye? |
| 19979 Why, hello my good <LADYLORD>! You look like a connoisseur of fine wares with a keen eye as well. I might have a few trinkets to interest one such as you. |
| 19980 Let me see what you have, then. |
| 19981 These trinkets of yours wouldn't be stolen, would they? |
| 19982 I've no interest, sorry. |
| 19983 I see my eye for a potential customer has not failed me. Here, let me show you some of the goods I have acquired... just for you. |
| 19984 Ah, "stolen" is such a relative concept, my <LADYLORD>. It is better to say that these trinkets have found their way through various means into a market that redistributes them. |
| 19985 Some articles may be missed, aye, but others may not. Alas, I can only turn a blind eye and simply offer them at a fair and low price to my customers. |
| 19986 Ha! Very well then, let me see what you have. |
| 19987 Well, I'm not interested. Excuse me. |
| 19988 What is this? My eye has failed to discover a customer of distinction? Alas! Seek me out when you desire products of taste and quality, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 19989 My anger is under complete control! Complete! I will control it as I rip limb from limb, I will control it as I pound head after head, and I will control... |
| 19990 Our travels are the stuff of legend! Our victories the subject of song! How could I not follow to find my friends after they disappeared? |
| 19991 You speak as a trapped animal, words that I know well. I hold you no grudge, for we have traveled long together, whether you choose to recall or not. |
| 19992 I will not be the only one to lose my head here today! Dynaheir... My charge and friend... she is... she is dead, and I am a failure as her guard! |
| 19993 ...They... they killed her as I watched, you see? I know not who they were, but... but I will redeem myself! |
| 19994 By Brandobaris, you're wearing a mighty bit o' metal there for a kin! |
| 19995 I am devoted to the service of Arvoreen, friend, as a warrior true. Steel shall carve the way for the virtuous. |
| 19996 Well, if it ain't Jan Jansen! How does ye fare? |
| 19997 I be just fine, my good tallfellow. |
| 19998 My honor and competence is in question?! Oh, I assure you that nothing shall keep me from exacting my righteous wrath on those responsible for this! |
| 19999 The crime's so bad around 'ere, sometimes I swears I'll wake up to find me feet hairs missin'! |
| 20000 Oh, there is thieves fightin' thieves here in the slums. 'Tis bad business, it is. |
| 20001 Answer they will, and my sword shall be the question! We shall have fistfuls of sweet, sweet justice, and our enemies will be stains beneath our feet! |
| 20002 What...? Yes, but... but... all right. Boo tells me that I am raving again. I did not notice a difference, but I shall heed his words nonetheless. |
| 20003 You... you turn your back on those in need? You are abandoning me in my hour of shame? You... you are no better than those that killed Dynaheir! |
| 20004 Run around, run around, run around. *sigh* What I wouldn't give to just put me feet up in front o' the hearth. |
| 20005 Prithee, but you are a stout! You remind me of Littleman! |
| 20006 While I am a warrior, I am also a lass, kinfolk. Your compliment is appreciated nonetheless. |
| 20007 RRAAAAGHGHGH! I will smack your evil lips to the earth and stomp them with the boot heel of justice! I will... |
| 20008 I will make sure you do not live long enough to abandon more friends! I will... I will... I will do all of this as soon as I get these bars open! RRAAAARRGH! |
| 20009 Oh, my... you're the biggest Big Folk I think I've ever seen! |
| 20010 I've always appreciated the halflings for their honesty and good sense, my lady. My stature makes me no greater than you. |
| 20011 Oooh, I worry that Yondalla has abandoned us! Life here in the slums has become just terrible of late! |
| 20012 Then I will quest on my own, and we shall meet again when I am worthy of serving in the company of good and true people! |
| 20013 And that we shall meet again I do not doubt, for wherever there is evil walking funny, there is Minsc's foot, doing the work of goodness! |
| 20014 My wee stouts were so wishing to go to that circus. I hear it is closed, however. How very sad. |
| 20015 You be the one who saved the circus, aren't you?! My, but you are a marvel! |
| 20016 I'm having trouble finding some bread or cheese anywhere. |
| 20017 *sigh* I do so miss the burrows. |
| 20018 Don't ask questions better left to aged sages. Boo is quick and evasive, and there is ever so much of Minsc to search; there is no hope of getting us apart. |
| 20019 I am the best kind of warrior! I am large, and I carry nature's favor with me where'er I go! |
| 20020 Boo is my animal companion, and while some smaller rangers might compensate for their size by traveling with bears or wolves, I prefer the subtleties provided by a miniature giant space hamster! Yes, subtle! |
| 20021 Shortly beyond that chamber, there is a hallway that contains several wands mounted in pedestals. They blast all that walk before them. |
| 20022 It is actually quite uh... embarrassing. My profession does not leave itself open to those who are not wary, yet somehow I was caught unaware. |
| 20023 I came to Athkatla years ago from Kara-Tur to seek my fortune. At some point, I went to bed in my room at the Copper Coronet, and I awoke in a strange room with a very sore head. |
| 20024 Maybe you should try to face the perils of this place alone! |
| 20025 I am unsure. I may have been drugged when I was brought here. I may have been unconscious... either way, I do not know how long. |
| 20026 Ho there, friend! I've a fine barrel of wares for you to peruse, if you but care to stop a moment! |
| 20027 Very well, let's see what you have to sell. |
| 20028 I'm not interested in anything. |
| 20029 You are most gracious. Look upon the finest assortment of turnips in Athkatla! Red and gold from the South, even the blue turnips of the North! All fresh! |
| 20030 If that is how you wish it to be, then go ahead and forge the trail. I will follow your path once I have rested a bit. |
| 20031 You are quite unused to the pain of battle, are you not? I can see it in your face. |
| 20032 Oh, but I am sure you would be interested if you were but aware! Look here... turnips of all sorts and varieties. Is that not the true spice of the exotic? |
| 20033 Are you trying to tell me that all you have to sell is turnips? |
| 20034 I'm not interested in buying turnips. |
| 20035 Excuse me, I think I must be going now. |
| 20036 You sell turnips? |
| 20037 Uh... excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 20038 Leave if you must, but as you lie in your soft bed tonight and the urgent cravings for turnips overcomes you, you'll be coming back to find me, you will. |
| 20039 It shows, does it? I hoped I would be of some help to those less fortunate, but I seem to be quite prone to bruising. |
| 20040 "Where is that Kylie Jansen?", you'll ask, your stomach tightening with anticipation of turnip pleasure. My stock will be gone by then... a sad thing indeed. |
| 20041 You will learn many harsh realities out here, but you will also learn to deal with them. Or you may die. One or the other. |
| 20042 And why not sell turnips? Delighting the palate of the young and old with flavors of distinction and subtlety, the turnip has so many uses it boggles the mind! |
| 20043 Thanks for your support... I think. |
| 20044 My injuries sting, but I think it is mostly my pride that hurts. But we did well enough in our last battle, did we not? I'll wager we may outlive the season if we are careful. |
| 20045 Why, you have turnip stew. Boiled turnips, turnip salad, turnip and eggs! You can string turnips together and make a turnip necklace. |
| 20046 That we might, though this was surely but a small scuffle. Our battles will loom larger as we garner more enemies. |
| 20047 Um... I'm really not interested in turnips, actually. |
| 20048 I think it's time I left. |
| 20049 You cannot enter the store: There are monsters nearby. |
| 20050 You do not seem worried at this prospect. |
| 20051 Our virtue will guide the way. We shall not falter. |
| 20052 Ah, a sad state to lack interest in something so wonderful. I think that Kylie can see within you, however, an eye for more adventurous things, yes? |
| 20053 You wear the scars of battle with pride, Anomen, like one who truly believes his cause. |
| 20054 My Uncle Furnbottom once had an eye for adventure. Finest-looking gnome you ever saw in his shiny golden armor as he raised his sword on high! |
| 20055 I see respect in the blurry eyes of the drunkards. I accept. |
| 20056 A wonderful memory... until he attracted a griffon with all that shiny armor. The griffon would have enjoyed a plate of turnips more than stringy old Uncle Furnbottom. |
| 20057 I must. It is what pushes me forward. Doubt is the enemy. |
| 20058 You do not know what happened! I must leave now before my anger rises any more. |
| 20059 Swing harder, swing harder, swing harder! |
| 20060 He put up quite the fight going down. Not unlike a bad turnip, especially if you don't wash it in a spring. Hmm. I've lost track of where I was going with this... |
| 20061 Oh yes! Adventure! I suppose a fine <PRO_LADYLORD> like yourself wouldn't be interested in a turnip necklace? You should seek out my cousin Jan. |
| 20062 A wonderful turnip seller, but one can't sell vegetables exclusively. He might have something more along your line of interest... or is he selling footstools now? |
| 20063 Those that never question do not see the whole of the issue. |
| 20064 The whole issue is not important. There is only the here and now, and what can be done within. |
| 20065 Uh... well, I |
| 20066 And where might I find this Jan fellow? |
| 20067 One more thing... you will find a wide hall before too long that contains several wands mounted on pedestals. If you walk before these wands, you may be killed. |
| 20068 Er, thank you... I think I have to be going now. |
| 20069 Tortured One |
| 20070 Well, don't you forget now. Jan Jansen: He'll have what a fine adventuresome sort like yourself is looking for. Just tell him Cousin Kylie sent you! |
| 20071 Life Support Creature |
| 20072 I am not sure how I came to be here... like you, I suspect. I have been trying to find my way out, but I was wounded in my attempt to do so. |
| 20073 An awfully good question. He used to have a shop until that business with the pudding. Jan sells his wares from the streets, much as I do. A fine tradition. |
| 20074 In the next chamber beyond the one in which we stand, four portals lie. Each of these portals releases a little cackling fiend which tries to kill me. |
| 20075 Tortured One |
| 20076 Your world is small, if focused. The more impressive picture is always larger than you can see. |
| 20078 Life Support Creature |
| 20079 Tortured One |
| 20080 Stand away from me, Edwin! It would be unfortunate if you were to disappear under a rock somewhere. Though that might be more akin to your natural state. |
| 20081 Life Support Creature |
| 20082 In the next chamber beyond the one in which we stand, four portals lie. Each of these portals releases a little cackling fiend which tries to kill me. |
| 20083 He's hard to miss. He's usually in the Government District... better coin there. Not many gnomes wandering the streets of Athkatla, anyway. |
| 20084 Yes, well, perhaps I'll try to find him. Good day to you. |
| 20085 Aye, you can mock me whilst we are in the very heart of your domain, druid, but do not push me very far. Even here, I am more than capable of ending your life. |
| 20086 Jailkeep Golem |
| 20087 Jailkeep Golem |
| 20088 Well, if it isn't my dear cousin Jan! |
| 20089 Shadow Thief |
| 20090 Shortly beyond that chamber, there is a hallway that contains several wands mounted in pedestals. They blast all that walk before them. |
| 20091 Cousin Kylie! How goes the turnip business? |
| 20092 Better than some days, Jan. Your good friend here didn't see the romance of the turnips, however, and didn't buy one. |
| 20093 Well, I shall have to remedy that and sample one of these succulent morsels! |
| 20094 That's better. Which reminds me, cousin, that you simply don't visit home enough. |
| 20095 I know. I agonize over that fact constantly. |
| 20096 Don't you patronize me, Jan Jakobar Jansen! What kind of gnome doesn't visit his home once in a while?! |
| 20097 Perhaps, though I doubt you would find the trip back to the cities a peaceful one. |
| 20098 You know, Kylie, I'll have to go right now and think about that. |
| 20099 Without your nagging, it would be as the sleep of ages. |
| 20100 Hmph! |
| 20101 Thanks for the turnip, cousin. Turmish, wasn't it? Fresh as a Calishite bellydancer! Off we go, <CHARNAME>! |
| 20102 I see you are hurt, child. I will carry what extra I can if it will lighten your load. |
| 20103 In the next chamber, there are four portals. Each of these portals releases little cackling fiends which try to kill me. |
| 20104 I am not weak, Jaheira, and you were as likely to be hurt as I! |
| 20105 Karajah's Life and Death +3 |
| 20106 I have more experience in battle, Aerie. Any wound I received might have killed you comparatively. |
| 20108 So you say, but I shall not learn avoidance of such by cowering behind you. |
| 20110 Mm. My injuries mount, and I will need treatment soon. But it is all worth it, for our battles have dispatched many ne'er-do-wells to the nether planes. No quarter ever given or deserved, right, Paladin Keldorn? |
| 20111 Am I to judge by your tone that you are sympathetic to our enemies? |
| 20112 Not in the least, although I do entertain the thought that they might not all be irredeemable. |
| 20114 Refresh your...? Perhaps you've taken a knock or two to the head. |
| 20116 Ender Sai |
| 20117 Ender Sai |
| 20118 At the least, I would say that not remembering me is a symptom of some deeper problem, though I would not rule out a bad attempt at humor on your part. |
| 20119 In theory, perhaps, though I see no hesitation on your part while in battle either. Do you claim to chastise me while doing the same yourself? |
| 20120 By what authority? This is hardly the time to have a leadership debate, especially one that I have never questioned. Not to any serious degree, at least... |
| 20121 Perhaps this place has made you defensive, and I wouldn't blame you in the least, but your suspicions are better directed at strangers, not friends. |
| 20122 Not within battle, no, but I gather your black-and-white views extend well beyond that. There is gray as well. |
| 20123 Gray? Gray is not a color; it is the blurring of another. Gray is indecision, and I have no time for it. |
| 20124 And I do not know why I am here either, but I won't stoop to blaming you. Our history defers any suspicions, at least until we are out of immediate danger. |
| 20125 I'm sure we could navel-gaze all day about what brought us here, but it shall certainly prove pointless if we do not remove ourselves from immediate danger. |
| 20126 I know not who has entrapped us here either, but I would rather not find out simply waiting for them to return. We are at a disadvantage in this place. |
| 20127 You seem restless, Cernd. Is there something I can do for you? It is my duty to see you comfortable. |
| 20128 No, I do not, and I would rather we furthered the investigation at a time that was more in our favor. We have friends to find and, in time, enemies to punish. |
| 20129 You... don't seem like any creature I've encountered before. |
| 20130 What exactly is going on here? |
| 20131 Very well then, I'll leave you be. |
| 20132 We remain in your company as friends more than guardians, and our exploits together have left the land for the better. |
| 20134 I'm NOT a creature! Or, at least, I never used to be! Not until the circus and everything changed! |
| 20136 We have earned many enemies, but we have dispatched them all. Whoever has trapped us now is certainly powerful to have done this so easily. |
| 20137 Knott |
| 20138 Knott |
| 20139 Well, who are you then? |
| 20140 What are you talking about? What's going on? |
| 20141 Oh, I don't know! All I know is that I came into the tent to watch the performance. |
| 20142 My husband, Khalid, and I have traveled with you for some seasons now, and the places we have seen number too many to name. |
| 20143 It was quite silly... it was obvious that whatever the gnome was trying to do wasn't working. |
| 20144 And then everything began changing! People started transforming into creatures and then back into themselves. The world shifted somehow, and I felt so sick and horrified... |
| 20145 ****** |
| 20147 ...I think I passed out. When I woke up, I had been turned into this... into this... monstrosity! |
| 20148 Raemon |
| 20149 Raemon |
| 20150 I... I don't know what to do! My son didn't come into the tent with me, and I'm frightened to think what may have happened to him! |
| 20151 Oh, dear! Watch out for those awful peasants! Don't let them hurt you! |
| 20152 My... my name's Hannah. I came to the circus with my son, although he didn't come into the tent with me. Oh, please help me! |
| 20153 How is it that you became this creature, then? |
| 20154 What exactly is going on here? |
| 20155 I'll try, but I must leave you for now. |
| 20156 Who are you? |
| 20157 I do not know where he is, and it worries me. No doubt he was taken as we were, though it seems we were all meant for different fates. |
| 20158 Who are these peasants here? |
| 20159 From the state of my head, I think I have been drugged, though I have been spared any serious physical mistreatment. |
| 20160 Do you know where I can find this "Kalah"? |
| 20161 I think your son is still outside. Wait here. |
| 20162 They... they're not people! They're vicious and dangerous! I've seen them kill people... you must stop them! |
| 20163 I'll try. Tell me... do you know where this "Kalah" is? |
| 20164 I think your son is still outside. Wait here. |
| 20165 I must leave you for now. |
| 20166 I must leave you for now. |
| 20167 No, no, I don't. But that woman over there seems to know something about him. Perhaps if you talked to her... |
| 20168 I see. And who are these peasants here? |
| 20169 I think your son is still outside the tent. Wait here. |
| 20170 Inside the drow city I rescued the matron mother's daughter, Phaere. She knew Solaufein and also showed a passing interest in me. She went back to the city on her own. Solaufein followed, commanding that I meet him inside the city entrance soon. |
| 20171 I must leave you for now. |
| 20172 You judge on appearances, but he has performed admirably more than once. Hold your tongue, or at least reserve your quips for someone more likely to be amused. |
| 20173 He is? Oh, I will! Oh, thank you! |
| 20174 I am Khalid's wife after all, and despite his flaws, he is a good person. Have you someone who will say likewise for you? |
| 20175 Allâ€â€all right. Do be careful of those peasants! |
| 20176 I don't know. If you are of sufficient strength, it is possible the cage may be broken. If not, you may have to search for whatever key it might need. |
| 20177 Do try to hurry; I wish to be out of here before the owner returns. The ease of our capture suggests it may be beyond our power to resist. |
| 20178 Y-yes? |
| 20179 The hunt for Valygar Corthala Hervo mentioned that Valygar had numerous friends in the Amnian military, as he was a scout for them at one point. He remembered one friend in particular... a woman by the name of Suna Seni. This is the same woman who sought me out recently with a group of thugs... Although Hervo doesn't seem to think this is connected to Valygar, I am not so sure. |
| 20180 I need you to tell me who these peasants are. |
| 20181 Tersus |
| 20182 Tersus |
| 20183 Do you know where this Kalah is? |
| 20184 Nothing. I'll be going. |
| 20185 Perhaps you can break these locks? They seem quite strong, though it would not hurt to try. They look a bit odd as well. Perhaps they are magically warded. |
| 20186 Are you sure you want to quit? Boo will miss you... |
| 20187 The Ogre's Sword |
| 20188 Then the key could be anything. Whatever is done, it must be quick. We were captured easily, and I do not want to be here when whoever did it returns. |
| 20189 The Demon's Sword |
| 20190 The Ogre's Sword |
| 20191 A well-thought and calculated plan, though I do not recall you being so cold. Perhaps I have had some memory loss myself. |
| 20192 You have returned? Why? Something you need? Or do you wish to elaborate on your plan and once again assert that you are in the dominant position? |
| 20193 Well, I must say I did not expect you to come back. |
| 20194 Jaheira, I see you as an equal in this group. Save such reverence for official druid functions. |
| 20195 As you would have it, though you still look out of sorts. |
| 20196 I prefer this calm, but I wonder if a storm is looming. I have watched the cycle of the hunt in nature, but never thought I would be the hunter, or the hunted. |
| 20197 But you have served nature for years more than I. Have you not fought for her? |
| 20198 You quote philosophy like a student who's read half of every book in school. Take your defensive stance as you will; I am sure it will let you sleep at night. |
| 20199 Certainly I have, and passionately too, but now we go far afield. Ahh, pay me no mind. I will grow accustomed to being out of my element. |
| 20200 Hakt |
| 20201 Hakt |
| 20202 No, no, I find your wit a treat, especially when it is unleashed upon the hapless that did not see it laying in wait. |
| 20203 Britik |
| 20204 Britik |
| 20205 Venkt |
| 20206 Venkt |
| 20207 Why do you stare at me so, Jaheira? Have I offended you? My manner is oft grim, but I did not think you so sensitive to it. |
| 20208 You speak as though your intent is to offend. Do you wish to keep those that would be your friends at arm's length? I wonder why this might be. |
| 20209 Your words echo through these empty halls because they are just as hollow. If you would drive those who would be your friends away, so be it. |
| 20210 However, I would be careful not to offend everyone you meet. You will need help at some point. You seem predisposed to trouble. |
| 20211 Then why the glances as my head turns away? |
| 20212 Forgive me the curiosity, but you are quite alien to me. You are not of this place and do not fit into the natural order, at least not by design. |
| 20213 An apology of a sort, though I will take it with a grain or two of salt. It will take consistent action to prove your intent to me, but I am optimistic. |
| 20214 The final battle with Bodhi Bodhi, Irenicus's sister, has finally been defeated. This shows, at least, that the vaunted power and immortality of the brother and sister are not endless. And there is hope to regain my soul after all... although perhaps being undead meant it was harder for Bodhi to hold on to Imoen's essence; I don't know. We shall see. |
| 20216 Triadore |
| 20217 Triadore |
| 20218 Ahh, then you are wary and are intent on keeping me under guard? |
| 20219 Not so much, but I am interested to see where your niche finds itself. I am wondering what you will balance, for all things have their counterpart. |
| 20220 I see. Perhaps I straddle the fence, providing my own balance. Perhaps I drop things on either side as whim dost take me. |
| 20221 Or perhaps you enjoy the discord of chaos because you have not found that niche yet. We shall see. |
| 20222 A great many things are lost to you, I would think. |
| 20223 I see. You are expecting me to be the convenient diversion then? You did not free a friend; you set loose a clay pigeon to draw the arrows of the hunters. |
| 20224 What does it matter what I would think of you, if at all? You could scarcely care less. |
| 20225 Yer eyes wander all over me back while I battle. Do I meet yer approval? I hope not; I find yer nuts and berries approach quite feeble. |
| 20226 Aye, that is true enough, but I'll not have ye at me back and thinking me ill. I'd sooner gut ye here and now, and let yer bile fertilize yer precious plants. |
| 20227 Ahh, you have quite the way of inspiring comrades. Certainly such an act would let you sleep soundly at night. Your "friends" will... watch over you intently. |
| 20228 Ehh, such a sleep be akin to death, maybe even become it. So walk on, wench o' the wood, but do so ahead o' me! |
| 20229 Forthel August |

| 20232 Connoly Finn |
| 20233 Avert your eyes, dark elf! I'll not have you taint the beauty of the wood with your poison gaze. |
| 20234 Ooo, such delicious fire, though better it was turned on an enemy. I would be your ally, Jaheira; your strength might even bring you respect among my kind. |
| 20235 Kesheel |
| 20236 Kesheel |
| 20237 I am not to be swayed by your words, creature. I know too much of you and your kind. |
| 20238 Granted, you might not live to make that favorable impression, but I still say it is so. Take that as you will. |
| 20239 Would you deny me even the sight of the trees, Jaheira? I can appreciate the strength of the oaks even though I would never live amongst them. |
| 20240 Lies. Such respect would grant me naught but a bigger tombstone, or a nameless grave in a slightly nicer tunnel. |
| 20241 Oh! Squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts! |
| 20242 Minsc, could you please maintain a little grace while in nature's presence? Sometimes I simply do not know how you came by your title of ranger. |
| 20243 Do you wish me dour and sour like most others? No, I say not. The animals run and play without care, and I would too... if such a thing would not squish Boo flat. |
| 20244 But your duties are serious things, Minsc. Do you realize that? |
| 20245 Feldane |
| 20246 Feldane |
| 20247 I am very serious! Boo would not let me shirk my duties! I would not want to shirk anything! No, ma'am, no shirking! |
| 20248 Admirable, Minsc, but you use that word like you don't know what it means. |
| 20249 Eh, well... no... but it sounds sharp and painful, and I always reserve such things for freaks that might steal those squirrels' nuts! |
| 20250 Piato |
| 20251 Good job, Minsc. You keep it up. |
| 20252 You scan the horizon as a hawk, Valygar. Though with such an unnatural threat in your past, I cannot say I blame you. |
| 20253 Piato |
| 20254 Unnatural, yes. I struggle to understand the differences in magic that have been presented to me. How do you feel about it, Jaheira? Are they not all cut of the same vile shroud? |
| 20255 Magic takes many forms, and only some dare circumvent the cycle of death. It is a power that draws from all things and need not be feared for simply being. |
| 20256 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills I have encountered two ghosts who claim to have been the protectors of the Child of Light, Amuana, a servant to the sun god and killed by the Shade Lord. Her bones were thrown to the shade wolves, defiling her remains, and the spirits have pleaded for me to return her bones to them so that they may all be at peace. |

| 20262 You need not turn your eyes to me each time I drop my head, Yoshimo. I am well and fine. |
| 20263 Shistal |
| 20264 Shistal |
| 20265 If that is so, then I am glad. I am eager to please if you should want for anything. |
| 20266 I am sure, but I will keep my thoughts to myself in this case. |
| 20267 Bendalis |

| 20277 You look quite interested in the local flora, Jan. |
| 20279 Oh, yes indeed! It reminds me of my cousin, Tyllie Fleetknees, and the garden she had at the foot of a dryad tree in the Forest of Wyrms. I tell you, she went up expecting well-aerated soil, and did she get a surprise! Oh, yes indeed! Why, I remember it like it was burned into my memory with a flaming stick, which was very close to the truth, actually... |
| 20280 Jan. |
| 20282 Er... yes? |
| 20287 Not now. |
| 20293 Ahh... of course. |
| 20296 Ah, my beast, you have led them here nicely... |
| 20297 Whinny |
| 20298 Hahaha, you're not what? You're not my BEAST? Oh, but you are, all of you are, don't you see? |
| 20299 Whinny |
| 20300 Yes, it's a regular three-ring circus, isn't it, my beasts? Now go ahead and tear each other apart! |
| 20301 Well done, my friend! Truly, I doubted that you would survive to meet me. Welcome to my domain. I regret that my hospitality will result in your deaths. |
| 20302 At them, my shadows! If they be fools, my other beasts shall strike them down! If not, the task shall fall to you, my shades. The circus now truly begins! |
| 20303 Little Aerie, is that you? I have no eyes, no eyes! |
| 20304 You there! I am not what I seem to be! It is me... Quayle. |
| 20305 Some of these beasts are illusions, and some are real. Don't attack the illusions! |
| 20306 If you attack the illusions, you'll have acknowledged them, and then their damage will become real to you. |
| 20307 I will not tolerate this waste of time. Let's get moving! We've much to do! |
| 20308 Uncle Quayle, you're okay! |
| 20309 Ha! I knew Kalah would trip over himself eventually. I'm just pleased he despised me enough to play with me rather than dispose of me like some of the others! |
| 20310 I... I think you need to find out, my dear. I've taught you everything I can. It's time, Aerie... time for you to learn the rest on your own. |
| 20311 Anomen refuses to take revenge for his sister's murder After being told of the death of Anomen's sister, we went to his father's estate. Lord Cor proved a bitter man, demanding that Anomen kill the supposed murderer, a merchant named Saerk who is also a rival of Cor's. Anomen refused, and his father threw him out for disobeying. We went to the magistrate Bylanna, but there is insufficient evidence to implicate Saerk or anyone else. I urged Anomen to forget the incident. Anomen is bitter and sad, but agreed to put this matter, and his father, behind him for now. |

| 20324 I wasn't always, my dear. You changed that, Aerie. But I can't keep you here for myself forever. |
| 20325 Then you shall have to come and visit me from time to time and tell me what you've learned. Go... go with my blessing, girl. |
| 20326 Oh, don't worry about me. If you find happiness, maybe the pain of losing your wings will be lessened... nothing would please me more. Be well, my Aerie. |
| 20327 Oh, Quayle! What would I ever do without you? |
| 20328 You... you're the wisest and the smartest and the kindest man I'll ever know. |
| 20329 Oh, Quayle, I would miss you! |
| 20330 ...All right. Takeâ€â€take care of the circus while I'm away. |
| 20331 There's no need to yell, Jaheira. |
| 20332 Destus Gurn |
| 20333 Destus Gurn |
| 20334 We will do what I see fit. Keep quiet. |
| 20335 Where would you have us go, exactly? |
| 20336 I will yell if I wish, and I will make damn sure our enemies hear me! We must hurry and find... we... |
| 20337 I will not! If you do not care enough to hurry, then perhaps another should lead! Someone that will make sure our fallen are avenged! Someone who... who... |
| 20338 We must gather ourselves and what equipment we can for the war to come. We must be ready to avenge... and fight... |
| 20339 I... I am sorry. I have been thinking too much of... of Khalid. I was in shock before, but... |
| 20340 You can never think too much for those departed. |
| 20341 Yes, you have. Let it go; we have other things to worry about. |
| 20342 We will have revenge for all wrongs in time. |
| 20343 I... I agree, though I shall try not to be fixated on such things. All will be dealt with in time. I will see to it. |
| 20344 I will not forget just like that. I will... bide my time. In the end, we will deal justice to those that deserve it. Patience is all it will take. |
| 20345 Yes, in time. I will try to maintain my composure through this. |
| 20346 Nnn... No! |
| 20347 Nnn... No! NO! Wh... what? |
| 20348 You must have had a nightmare. Relax, there is nothing wrong. |
| 20349 You crazy wench, I thought we were under attack for a moment there! |
| 20350 Restless dreams. I have them myself on occasion. |
| 20351 N-no, there is something very wrong. More and more I feel Khalid's absence. I... I thought myself stronger than this. |
| 20352 I... I was. I stood beside Khalid in a battle long since won, only this time, he did not survive. There was... nothing I could do. |
| 20353 Do you? Yes, you have lost people close to you as well. It is awful, isn't it, to watch as people die again in your mind? |
| 20354 So did I. Try not to disturb the rest of us. |
| 20355 There is no weakness in sorrow. |
| 20356 There still isn't, so shut up and let the rest of us sleep. |
| 20357 No, there is nothing any of us can do about the past. |
| 20358 It keeps the nights interesting. You get used to it. |
| 20359 Awful, yes, but it reminds you of what you've lost. |
| 20360 I will not bother you further with such talk. I see I will gather no sympathy here. |

| 20363 Only in depression. Yes, I remember those parables in Alaundo's prophecies as well. Be sorry for your loss, but be grateful for what you have. |
| 20364 But we each shape our tomorrow. I remember from the prophecies of Alaundo they taught to children for a time. Wise words. Thanks for the reminder. |
| 20365 The hunt for Valygar Corthala Hervo mentioned that Valygar had numerous friends in the Amnian military, as he was a scout for them at one point. He remembered one friend in particular... a woman by the name of Suna Seni... but he has no idea where she might be found, as she works as a mercenary. |
| 20366 This door leads back to the upper levels of the keep. From the looks of it, it is heavily warded. Luckily, Tethtoril teleported you past such an obstacle. Common sense dictates that you make your escape through the opposite door. |
| 20367 Getting inside the asylum The courtesan told me that the best way to move about secretly or bluff my way past the guards would be to hold a medallion that the courtesan masters wear. The only one outside of the guild right now is Chremy, one of the crueler masters who is watching a girl named Ginia. |
| 20368 And what you still have. Wise words. From Alaundo, are they not? Thank you for the reminder. |
| 20369 Well, we have the whole of Amn around us. What course shall we take? |
| 20370 That sounds like a loaded question if I ever heard one. |
| 20371 Helping Tiris in Trademeet Even though Rejiek Hidesman and his fellow skin dancer, Darsidian, were dead, I still had to inform Tiris that Raissa was dead as well. He left, dejected, to tell her parents. Not all quests have perfectly happy endings. |

| 20389 Perhaps. I have a greater duty to the balance of things and, no offense, you might be able to tip such balance. It is because of what you are. |
| 20390 Are your motives so selfish? I... I feel I have a greater duty to balance, and I must warn you against altering it. It is dangerous for you, being what you are. |
| 20391 Moral, most definitely. I must watch the overall balance of things, and you may figure largely in the tipping. It is because of... what you are. |
| 20392 I was merely curious about how you are coming to terms with being a child of Bhaal? It is important for you to take the right path. |
| 20393 Who will judge what path is right for me? |
| 20394 I will take what path I wish. |
| 20395 Ultimately, you will, but others like me have to deal with the outcome. I am Harper; you know this. I should hate for us to end up on opposite sides of a coin. |
| 20396 Bring 'em on! I ain't done! |
| 20397 This place is not a friendly one. Be wary of who you deal with. |
| 20398 I can deal with simple cutthroats and hooligans. There is no danger here. |
| 20399 Why, what would anyone here wish from me? |
| 20400 I enjoy matching wits with cretins like these. |
| 20401 Not just them. Others may try to take advantage. Few know of the children of Bhaal, but that could just make you all the more valuable. |
| 20402 Perhaps not here as such, but you are still a valuable commodity. There are those that know of the children of Bhaal, and they may desire... services from you. |
| 20403 Indeed, but not all are as clueless as you might think. Perhaps not here, but there are those that know of the children of Bhaal. They may also know of you. |
| 20404 I do not wish to alarm, but always remember what you are, and that you may be tested from time to time. I feel it is my job to warn against such things. |
| 20405 So! Where to now, fearless leader? |
| 20406 How the hell should I know? |
| 20407 Hmm, I don't rightly know. I'm taking suggestions. |
| 20408 Perhaps an inn. I guess it doesn't really matter, does it? |
| 20409 Arghh! |
| 20410 Arghh! |
| 20411 Don't snap at me, mister. I thought simply you might have a plan of sorts. Obviously, I was mistaken. |
| 20412 Ughh. |
| 20413 I would suggest you get moving and decide on a plan. And never again say something like "don't rightly know." You sound like you were dropped as a child. |
| 20414 Ughh. |
| 20415 Or kicked. |
| 20416 It doesn't? I hope you'll come up with something better than that. I will not be put in a position where survival depends on the toss of a coin. |
| 20417 This is ridiculous. |
| 20418 Not everyone's coins land on edge, you know. |
| 20419 I'm... I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>. I do not wish to cause undue strain in our party. I am merely a bit stressed, and no doubt you are as well. |
| 20420 Think nothing of it, Jaheira. It is understandable. |
| 20421 Perhaps, but I will try to be pleasant if you will. |
| 20422 Stow it, Jaheira. |
| 20423 Yes, but not acceptable. We are friends and should act as such. I... I apologize. |
| 20424 Agreed, though we have all suffered much and the mood may change. I will try to be civil by your side. |
| 20425 I see you are more inclined to keep our relationship adversarial. I can accommodate this if you really wish. |
| 20426 Mmph... no... no... NO! Wha... what? What? |
| 20427 Nnn... no... NO! Wh... wh... what? |
| 20428 I heard you thrashing all night, Jaheira. Nightmares? Relax, there is nothing wrong. |
| 20429 Jaheira, you scared the hell out of me. I thought we were under attack. |
| 20430 Your dreams proving a bit ugly? Mine are like that sometimes as well. |
| 20431 No, there is something very wrong. I... I have been having nightmares, and when I wake, it is still there. Khalid... I thought I was stronger than this. |
| 20432 He is gone, Jaheira. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you can get on with your life. |
| 20433 There is no weakness in honest sorrow, Jaheira. |
| 20434 Khalid was there, and he died where he should have lived. I could do nothing. |
| 20435 Cythandria |
| 20436 Cythandria |
| 20437 And you can still do nothing. Move on; he is not coming back. |
| 20438 Unconscious |
| 20439 None of us can affect the past, Jaheira. |
| 20440 I suppose they would; you have lost people as well. How do you deal with... watching them in your mind over and over? I did not see Khalid's death, but I feel it. |
| 20441 Bah, the dead are gone. You are probably feeling a bad bit of beef, or a half-cooked potato. |
| 20442 You feel terrible, but you still feel. It should not consume you. |
| 20443 You are harsh and cruel, but it seems to serve you well. Perhaps that is the answer. I... I don't know. I will not bother you again with this. |
| 20444 "Only in succumbing to depression over what cannot be changed." The writings of Alaundo? I learned likewise as a child. We have more in common than I thought. |
| 20445 "But we each shape our tomorrow in the light of it." I remember from the prophecies of Alaundo. Gorion taught you from the same book. He was wise in this. |
| 20446 "Lest it consume your memories, and you are left with just the sadness." From Alaundo? Gorion taught you from the same book I learned from. He was wise in this. |
| 20447 Yes, well, we should be going. I am fine now. Thank you. |
| 20448 *sigh* It has been some time since I have been this far south. I recall seeing Gorion here some years ago. He was a bit out of place away from his books, but... |
| 20449 Not at all. Memories serve us well. |

| 20452 Helping Tiris in Trademeet I told Tiris the bad news, that I could not help Raissa in her current situation. For all that she was saved from Rejiek Hidesman and the other skin dancer, Darsidian, she had been turned into one herself. Tiris left to try and do something on his own, for all that was worth. |
| 20453 The hunt for Valygar Corthala The clerk, Llarsh, mentioned that the Corthala family owns land in the Umar Hills. |
| 20454 The dead are gone. The names of people I barely remember cause me no pain. |
| 20455 I do not remember Gorion with sadness, despite his end. |
| 20456 Hmm... seems I cannot help but speak of the dead lately. I did not wish to cause you any distress if I have. |
| 20457 Oh yeah! |
| 20458 They do at that. Do you... recall his tales? They could last for days, a snippet at a time here and there. He built a history, so you felt like you were there. |
| 20462 Yes, and when it was over, you felt like it was yours. |
| 20463 They were my window, because we could not travel in safety. |
| 20464 I... I see. That attitude will not make you popular among the living that do remember. The dead leave their tendrils behind, for good or bad. |
| 20465 This I know all too well. |
| 20466 That is good. He would not have wished his memory to cause pain. I like to think the same is true of Khalid. |
| 20467 He was a fine man, despite his cautious nature. They both were. |
| 20468 I think you are right. It is a shame when the dead take the living with them. |
| 20470 Yes. His story became yours, and you took it with you. You are not of his blood, but there is much of him in you. |
| 20471 And much of Khalid's manner in you, despite your differences. |
| 20472 True... true enough. You are wise to see as such. |
| 20473 Well... enough of this for now. Talk such as this can get maudlin if indulged too often. I have a... a good feeling from this though. |
| 20474 Yes, he sheltered you carefully from those that would harm you. Khalid was the same way, always taking the cautious path. |
| 20475 Slow and steady lest mistakes be made. Good things come in time. |
| 20476 Yes, and they are missed. |
| 20477 Again you bring him up? You should really move on to other things. |
| 20478 Yes, though they took risks when necessary. Khalid lived well, and would not allow me to do otherwise. Gorion was all for danger if it would prove fruitful. |
| 20479 Rules that are meant to be broken, and all that. To know when the boundaries should be pushed. |
| 20480 Gorion said he carried much of those that had died. He wished I would not shoulder such a weight, but if I must, it should be in a sturdy pack and not loose in my arms. |
| 20481 So it would be behind you, but still with you, and would not obscure your vision. |
| 20482 Ehh! I think I still have a stitch in my leg from lying in that cold cell we were in. It is good to be up and moving. |
| 20483 A copper for your thoughts. You are looking rather pensive today. Doubts about your current path, perhaps? |
| 20484 Perhaps, though I have little choice in changing where I am bound. |
| 20485 None at all. I was not thinking; I just thought I smelled something. Pretension, that's what it was. |
| 20486 I have no doubt in my course. Do you have so little faith in me? |
| 20487 Well, I shall disturb you no further then. Walk on quietly. |
| 20488 Is that your feeling? I was taught we all had choice, but then the great cycle likely did not count on divine interference. You must feel pressures that I do not. |
| 20489 On occasion. There are a great many things pulling me to one side or another. |
| 20490 But you are pulled from the start, with balance being the difficult path. It is the same with nature when civilization intrudes. |
| 20492 Karan |
| 20493 Karan |
| 20494 And what has been the solution there? |
| 20495 Solution? |
| 20496 Thank you for that grasp of the obvious. |
| 20497 But there has to come a time when things must end, for better or worse. |
| 20498 Aye, but who knows when such an end will come? We work for balance in case the final count is taken today. Live each day as the last, just in case it is. |
| 20499 Nothing of the sort, but I am interested in how you fare against your own instincts. |
| 20500 Do you think my struggle different than any other person's? |
| 20501 Ah, yes, how well do I struggle against the "monster" within? I do just fine, thank you. Now leave me be. |
| 20502 Perhaps not, but the stakes seem higher. There is external interest from all sides. There must be pressure to do the "right" thing, whatever that means today. |
| 20503 On occasion. There are a great many things pulling me to one side or another. |
| 20504 Usually, it's you doing the talking about this and that and what I should do. Your interest is downright unhealthy. |
| 20505 "The present will pass by if you live in the past. Neither should you wait too long for the future to find you." Who said this? It was... Khalid. |
| 20506 Now look, foolish things in my head. Still, these talks always make me feel... better. |
| 20507 Mmmmph... |
| 20508 Mmph... mmph... oh... Khal... oh... Khal NOO! I... |
| 20509 Jaheira, you were having another nightmare. It's a wonder you get any sleep at all. |
| 20510 Will you cut that out?! It's a wonder the rest of us get any sleep at all! |
| 20511 What was the vision this time? I hope it has not worsened. |
| 20512 I... I am not so bad. This one was not so cruel as the others. Khalid was in the distance, but he would not come closer, and I could not see the way to him. |
| 20514 He walked with us, from a distance. He smiled that I was content. I guess... I guess I was. |
| 20516 Well, to see you traveling with a group probably meant a lot to him. It meant you could carry on. |
| 20517 Then we can finally be rid of his specter then? I was getting tired of you constantly depressing me. |
| 20518 It... it was not a group. Just... it was just you and I... and I think you are right. |
| 20519 Benjy |
| 20520 Benjy |
| 20521 Well... um... shall we be off? It is already late in the day. Plenty to do. |
| 20522 This is quite cruel of you. So be it; I will not endeavor to speak to you of such things again. It is a waste of... of... Let's just get out of here. |
| 20523 It is good to be back in Amn, even under these conditions. Still, I would have wished us even further south. I have not seen the land of Tethyr in quite some time. |
| 20524 Pssst... psssst. Hey. Hey there. |
| 20525 RISE AND SHINE! Oh, I hope I didn't disturb ye. My, but ye're a bunch of sound sleepers. Did'nay hear the approach of us wee little bandits, and now look at the mess ye're in. |
| 20526 Uh uhh, stay right where ye are. Wipe the sleep from yer eyes and ye'll see me little friend, a sharp little number right at this here lassie's throat. I would'nay want to... SLIP. |
| 20527 Kent |
| 20528 Kent |
| 20529 Coward! You would hide behind a hostage like this? Fight like an honorable... |
| 20530 All right, no one do anything rash. Let's just talk this through. |
| 20531 Don't! Don't you harm a hair on her head! |
| 20532 An honorable what? Bandit? Do ye have a clue what will be happening here, buddy boy? We're here to steal ye blind, and ye wish me to do that "honorably"? Fine. Hand over yer valuables... SIR! |
| 20533 Yes, let's do just that. I'll start. Ye'll be handing over what valuables ye haveâ€â€and we've heard ye have a lotâ€â€and then we'll be going on our way. |
| 20534 We get what we want, and ye get... well, perhaps we just get what we want. That's good enough for me. |
| 20535 Or ye'll hunt us down across the realms and exact yer bloody revenge. Yes, yes, I know. Can't says I blame ye; she is a fine lass. |
| 20536 No matter. Ye turn over whatever valuables you might be carryingâ€â€we've heard ye've got some nice trinketsâ€â€and soon you'll be on your way. |
| 20537 Not good enough. Leave her be. I'll be your hostage. |
| 20538 Fine, fine, take what you wish. Just let her go. |
| 20539 I'm not going to let a fool like you threaten me. You want a fight? You've got one! |
| 20540 Please, no. This is all I have in the world. If you take my things, I'll be destitute again. Please. |
| 20541 Well, I see we've done and come to the self-sacrifice portion of our little stage play. I wonder what our little lassie has to say about such a proposition? Speak, girl. |
| 20542 Riddle of the imps There was some kind of specter in the chest that held the drow treasure, which killed the opener rather viciously before fleeing. Perhaps I should have played the imps' game when they offered it. |
| 20543 Don't make deals with this scum! He won't keep hisâ€â€mmmph! |
| 20544 I think I got the gist of it there, lassie. Well now, she does not seem to think much of yer plan. What say ye now, valiant one? |
| 20545 I say take me instead of her. Look, I am not at the ready. I am standing here defenseless. Let's make this easy. |
| 20546 I say I'm about done talking! If you want a fight, you've got one! |
| 20547 I say take what you want. Just let her be. |
| 20548 I say please, oh please don't take my gear! It's all I own! Please, I beg of you! |
| 20549 Well, ye're certainly being reasonable about all of this. Mind you, I'll just keep a grip on the lassie here until my boys have finished their work. Stand still, will you? |
| 20550 Now then, with this unpleasant business out of the way, it's time for some more unpleasant business. I'm sorry, but it's for the best. Well, the best for us. |
| 20551 You lying son of a mMMPH! |
| 20552 Hush now, lassie. Yes, I stand before ye a liar. Go figure. Now we'll just finish ye and... hold still ye... OW! Me hand! |
| 20553 Fight as best you can, <CHARNAME>â€â€I am free of him! |
| 20554 Oh, for shame. That was simply a mistake, especially for the little lassie. Oops, there goes my shaky wrist. Aw, that has got to sting. |
| 20555 Gllgghh! |
| 20556 "Gllgghh" indeed! Now for the rest of you! |
| 20557 Yes, let's make this very easy indeed! Kracer, take the shot! |
| 20558 No! Blast you filthy bogslimes! Not again! |
| 20559 Druids are so much fun when they curse. To the dance, me fellows! |
| 20560 Eughh, should I let ye polish me boots while you're down on your knees? Ye have the spine of a noble, that is for certain. What the... hold still, lassie! |
| 20561 Oh for crying at the moon, don't prostrate yourself before this weasel. That's all I'm going to stand! |
| 20562 Hands off me scabbard, lassieâ€â€that's hardly ladylike. OW! |
| 20563 Fight! I am free of him! |
| 20564 You... you... |
| 20565 You... you were pretty quick to give up your equipment. |
| 20566 Are... are you all right? |
| 20567 Well, that was the most stunning display of bravado I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Could you possibly have stooped any lower? |
| 20568 Morale Failure: Panic |
| 20569 Morale Failure: Running |
| 20570 Morale Failure: Berserk |
| 20571 Now, Jaheira, no need to thank me. |
| 20572 Are you all right? I tried as best I could to get you free. |
| 20573 Well, that was quite the fun, wasn't it? |
| 20574 You IDIOT! Do you realize how easily he could have killed me?! That was the most irresponsible thing I have EVER had the misfortune of seeing! |
| 20575 Rest assured I'll not forget that! It's a wonder my head is still attached, or that yours ever was! Stand well back of me; I'm doubly careful from now on! |
| 20576 It was all a ruse. I just played the ineffectual coward to throw him off. Yeah, that's it. |
| 20577 I couldn't lose my stuff, and I couldn't let him hurt you. Groveling was the only way. |
| 20578 Ahh, stow it. Everything worked out in the end. |

| 20580 All right, listen, beefy. I may be an intelligent sword, but I've had no formal edumication. |
| 20581 Regardless, I had thought you made of sterner mettle. I was mistaken, and will not expect as such from ye again. |
| 20582 I was more worried about you. I'm a little sore, but I'll be all right. |
| 20583 Just a scratch or two here and there. Nothing a day or two of rest won't cure. |
| 20584 I... I think so. Rather a close call there. |
| 20585 Good, I am so glad... you IDIOT! What were you thinking?! You could have been killed! An arrow can pierce the heart or the eyes while you stand like a pincushion! |
| 20586 It was a risk I had to take. I couldn't let him hurt you. |
| 20587 I... I suppose. I didn't think about it at the time. I just wanted you safe. |
| 20588 I thought he was bluffing, but I would rather risk myself than you on such a bet. |
| 20589 Don't you EVER do something that stupid again, you hear me? Not in a thousand seasons! I lost... I lost... |
| 20590 *ahem*... I lost Khalid... to a pointless death. I'm not going... to lose you too. |
| 20591 Jaheira? Jaheira, I... |
| 20592 Oh, shut up and let's get out of here. We'll... we'll talk later. |
| 20593 Leaving the island Saemon's offer of a ship was not a sincere one, and no doubt he knew it. His own ship is scuttled, and he requires my help to get another... no doubt why he made the offer to begin with. I have decided to enter the asylum and find the magic portal that he mentioned earlier. Should I change my mind, however, he will no doubt still need me. |
| 20594 It's all replaceableâ€â€everything except you. |
| 20595 Material things; there are always more. I've gotten by with less. People are harder to replace, some more than others. |
| 20596 Ahh, it's all just baggage. I couldn't carry it all without you anyway. |
| 20598 Regardless, I really appreciate what you did... what you tried to do. I was worried that I was... I mean, I've already lost... um... |
| 20599 We could go, if you wish. It would be an interesting trip. |
| 20600 We've not the time for sightseeing. Try to be quiet, Jaheira. |
| 20601 Why would you want to go there? |
| 20602 It certainly would, though not how you'd expect. Tethyr is one of the few places where I would cause more stir than you. They are not fond of Harpers. |
| 20603 I can understand that. I'm not fond of them myself. Present company excepted, of course. |
| 20604 Why would that be? I thought Harpers were well-liked everywhere. |

| 20609 Autograph |
| 20610 It was my home, though it was a long time ago. I trained as a druid in the Forest of Tethir. Before that... well, I am told it was a chaotic time. |
| 20611 Oh really? If you had such a problem with Harpers, why did you accept me into your party? Perhaps your answer doesn't even matter. I know your feelings. |
| 20612 Nexlit the Xvart |
| 20613 We like to think so, but it does not always work out that way. I believe it began a century ago, with what seems a curse in retrospect. |
| 20614 Only those that did the deed know, but Harpers were rumored to have aided in the deaths. None have been welcome in Tethyr since. |
| 20615 Tragic atrocities, the exile of the Harpers being the least of them. I wish it had a happy end, or a moral about balance, but I have yet to find one in it. |

| 20632 Chapter 4 I have completed the tasks that Aran Linvail set out for me, including destroying the rival guild that Bodhi had set up and forcing the vampire herself to flight, and now the Shadowmaster has enlightened me about several things. The Shadow Thieves were the ones who attacked Irenicus in the dungeon that I awoke in. They had heard about my kidnapping, but not thought much of it... but then Bodhi's guild appeared, and many of the Shadow Thieves began to disappear. They managed to track down Irenicus's dungeon and link it to Bodhi... and I was witness to their subsequent disastrous assault. Aran feels partly responsible for Imoen's kidnapping and told me that she and Irenicus were taken to the same place: an island asylum for mages called Spellhold. The gold I supplied was used to book passage to the isle, and it is there that I will find the answers I seek. Aran warns me, though, that the asylum is a veritable fortress meant to contain insane wizards and other "deviants"... and even gaining entry will be a feat unto itself. Regardless, passage with a privateer named Saemon Havarian has been booked, and I am on my way... |
| 20633 Chapter 4 Now that I have completed the tasks that Bodhi set out for me, which included the disruption of the Shadow Thieves and the assassination of the Shadowmaster, Aran Linvail himself, she has made several things quite a bit clearer. Irenicus, the mage who kidnapped me, is Bodhi's brother. She says she did not support his abduction of me, which was apparently done because I am a child of Bhaal. What Imoen and I perceived as torture was actually the mage trying to discover and activate "my true potential"... whether I wished it or not. Bodhi wants to find her brother and gain access to the knowledge that he possesses, and for my aid, she will turn over whatever information he has about me. She will accompany me beyond this point, as Irenicus and Imoen are held at the same place: a fortress asylum called Spellhold on a remote island far from Amn. The gold I gave her has been used to book passage with a privateer named Saemon Havarian. Once I am at the island, I will need to find a way into the asylum... although I do not know how Bodhi will participate herself. Soon, I will have the answers I seek... |

| 20694 Bodhi keeps her side of the bargain Bodhi agreed to fulfill our bargain, though there were some additional concerns she revealed. According to Bodhi, Irenicus captured me because he had discovered my nature as a child of Bhaal, and he was attempting to "aid" my development, though his methods were indistinguishable from torture. The Shadow Thieves attacked Irenicus before I could be told any of this, and I escaped as he was incarcerated. Bodhi also told me that she is essentially Irenicus's sister, and that her reason for helping me is that she wishes to free the wizard from the same place that Imoen has been sent to, a dread asylum for magic-users called Spellhold. Bodhi does this not out of any familial attachment, but rather because she requires Irenicus for her own purposes. As added incentive, she offers to reveal whatever Irenicus learned about me. The asylum is on an island under its own rule, and Bodhi used the gold I gave her to book passage for me. There, I will try to find a way into Spellhold to free Imoen... and, Bodhi hopes, free Irenicus at the same time. |

| 20730 No thanks, I'll be on my way. |
| 20731 Join us in bowing down to worship him and redeem the world from its sighted folly! |
| 20732 I see. Where might I find this Unseeing Eye? |
| 20733 I see. Where might I find this Unseeing Eye? |
| 20734 Don't you think that Lathander, Helm, and all the rest might object to this new member of godhood? |
| 20735 Who are you to espouse such blasphemy? |
| 20736 Sighted folly? Is that why you have no eyes? |
| 20737 Excuse me, I think I'll be going now. |
| 20738 Acknowledge his might! The Unseeing Eye is everywhere, and you shall all bow down before him! The faithless! I see only the faithless before me! |
| 20739 I have been shown the way, faithless one! Lathander is nothing before the presence of the Unseeing Eye! Bow down... bow down and put out your vile eyes! |
| 20740 Who is this "Unseeing Eye" you keep mentioning? |
| 20741 You... put out your own eyes, then? |
| 20742 Er... actually, I'll be going. |
| 20743 And even though I have no eyes, it does not mean I am blind. I see with the sight of the faithful and the will of the divine. |
| 20744 Put out your own eyes, and you too shall see! Come and bow down before the mighty Unseeing Eye! Repent your worthless souls! |
| 20745 Tell me who you were, then, before you became what you are now. |
| 20746 Tell me about the Unseeing Eye. |
| 20747 No thanks, I'll be on my way. |
| 20748 He is everywhere! Everywhere! The master calls the name out to us, and we respond! See me now, oh great one... see your servant humbling herself before you! |
| 20749 Errr, yes. Don't you think the other gods might resent this new one amongst them? |
| 20750 Who are you to espouse such beliefs? |
| 20752 I take it, then, you put out your own eyes? |
| 20753 Never mind. |
| 20754 They tremble and cower before the might of the great Unseeing Eye! The faithless will beware him, and the faithful will cast down their unholy sight and plead for his divine mercy! |
| 20755 Okay... where might one find this Unseeing Eye? |
| 20756 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 20757 You cast your own unholy sight down, did you? |
| 20758 I think it's time to be on my way. |
| 20759 You shall cower before the dread gaze of the Unseeing Eye! Bow down and pluck out your monstrosities 'ere you are thrown into the Pit of the Faithless! |

| 20761 Who is this "Unseeing Eye" that you worship? |
| 20762 Pluck out what monstrosities? What are you talking about? |
| 20763 Yes, well, excuse me. |
| 20764 A sign states this device was built to travel underwater, strange a concept as that might be. |
| 20765 Hear my words and tremble in the knowledge that you have been presented the chance to worship amongst the Unseeing! |
| 20766 Once I was a worshipper of the false Helm, but I have been shown the true path and been stripped of my eyes! I will drag you onto the true path! |
| 20767 He will smite those who errantly hold on to their bulbous orbs of false sight and cast them into the Pit of the Faithless! All of you will shake with fear before him! |
| 20768 Who is this "Unseeing Eye"? |
| 20769 He requires his followers to pluck out their eyes? What kind of nonsense is that? Then I would be as blind as you! |
| 20770 Well, I'll go shake and quiver elsewhere, thank you. |
| 20771 ...the master has called on us to spread the word of he who shall cause the false gods to cry out in their folly before his sightless gaze! |
| 20772 Tell me who you are, then, to follow such a strange path. |
| 20773 Are you saying that everyone should strike themselves blind? What kind of foolishness is this? |
| 20774 I'll be leaving now. |
| 20775 Oh, ye shall surely feel remorse when you feel the fires of the Pit of the Faithless! |
| 20776 I see. And who might you be? |

| 20780 C'mon, what about now? ...No? C'mon, c'mon, I'm gettin' itchy! Let's go! |
| 20781 The faithless shall beware his coming, and the faithful shall rejoice! |
| 20782 I see better than you, faithless one! I see the false god's stink as it wafts from your soul! Cast aside your unholy ways and bow down before the Unseeing Eye! |
| 20783 And who might you be, then? |
| 20784 Tell me more about this Unseeing Eye. |
| 20785 I'll be leaving you now, excuse me. |
| 20786 Gaaaah! You have eyes! Eyes! Foolish you are! |
| 20787 Er... why would having eyes make me foolish? |
| 20788 I see. Well, I'll leave you alone, then. |
| 20789 The Unseeing Eye shall destroy you! Destroy you, he will! |
| 20790 Cast you down! Into the Pit! Take my eyes, take my eyes, oh beautiful one! I offer them to you freely! Aaaah, aaah! |
| 20791 Aaaah! He shall come, he shall come! Put out your eyes while you can! Aaaaiiie! |
| 20792 Who are you talking about? Who is this Unseeing Eye? |
| 20793 You have no eyes... who did this to you? |
| 20794 I gave them up to the Unseeing Eye! Forgive me, mighty one! Talos is a false god, and I shall no longer serve him! Aaaaah! |
| 20795 Aaaaiiee! Do not throw me into the pit! Master, master! Tell him that I am one of the faithful! |
| 20796 Who is this Unseeing Eye you speak of? |
| 20797 The Eye! He is beautiful... sooo beautiful! Worship him! Kneel and worship him, I tell you, before he casts you down! Throw aside your gods and bow, bow, boooowwww! |
| 20798 Aaaah! Aaah! Away from me, faithless one! Away! |
| 20799 Er, perhaps I should go. |
| 20800 I'll leave you alone. |
| 20801 Seek ye out the true sight and put out your eyes in the name of the Unseeing Eye! |
| 20802 Pluck out your vile eyes or be thrown into the Pit! You are the faithless before his might! |
| 20803 The Unseeing Eye is the true one, the one who shall lead us all into the divine! Come all and bow before him! |
| 20804 Tremble before the might of the Unseeing Eye! He is greater than all your false gods! |
| 20805 What kind of monstrous blasphemy is this? |
| 20806 It is no blasphemy! It is the truth! Put out your unholy eyes as I have! Come! |
| 20807 Come! Join in the worship of the Unseeing Eye! Put out your eyes and witness the holiest of sights! |
| 20808 I... sense something most disturbing and unnatural about this. |
| 20809 A flying machine of gnomish design. It looks a bit unstable. |
| 20810 You! You are one of the faithless! |
| 20811 Oh! He has no eyes! How awful! |
| 20812 Come and witness the glory that is the Unseeing Eye! Put out your eyes and swim in the rapture of holy blindness! |
| 20813 This is... most disturbing, <CHARNAME>. Nature itself curls back from this vileness. Something must be done! |
| 20814 The sign on this machine states the name of its inventor, one Eduardo Jansen. |
| 20815 Listen to me, my brothers and sisters... heed my words. We have been chosen as the recipient of a most holy miracle, one that should neither be dismissed nor ignored! |
| 20816 I, Gaal... I, who have been stripped of my eyes most mercifully, have been shown the truth that has eluded the sighted! The gods that you worship are false gods, icons that serve to increase the wealth of churches and heathens! Listen to them not! |
| 20817 Hold! You speak of blasphemy! The Morninglord Lathander has always shown his benevolence and power. His presence among us is unquestionable! |
| 20818 Is it, priest? I ask all of you to question, for a moment, if what the priest says is true. Yes, his false god grants him power to fuel his spells, much as any wizard might possess. |

| 20827 Hmm. Is that so? Have they protected you from famine? Have they protected you from disease? Have they wrought harmony upon Faerûn? |
| 20828 No, they have not! They lie and cloud your sight to gain your worship of their false images! I have stripped myself of their foul eyes, and I see what is the truth! The truth, I tell you! |
| 20829 You lie! You lie! The gods exist! |
| 20830 Such words are a horrid affront to the gods! Surely you will pay for this! |
| 20831 Quiet! Listen to what he has t' say! |
| 20832 I call on you to abandon your false gods! They have done nothing for you! Cast them aside and join me on the true pathâ€â€join me in the calling of the true sight! |
| 20833 Wot... wot does that mean? Shall we tear our own eyes out then? Don't be foolish! |
| 20834 What shall we do then? Who shall we turn to if there's no gods? |
| 20835 But there is a god! There is the true god! The Unseeing Eye is here amongst us. He offers the faithful a clarity of vision, the true path to the divine! He offers you protection and succor! |
| 20836 Illusion Dispelled |
| 20837 Do not listen to him! He seeks to poison your minds! |
| 20838 Bah! What has your god ever done for me, eh? Eh?! I'm poorer and no better off than I ever was! |
| 20839 Don't speak to the priest in that tone! The gods will be offended! |
| 20840 Don't you hear what he's saying? There are no gods to be offended! I say we see what this Unseeing Eye has to offer! |
| 20841 Aye! I wish to see! |
| 20842 No, my friends, you do not wish to "see." Forget what the years of lies have taught your eyes. You wish to "know"! You wish to "learn"! *These* are the truths that the Unseeing Eye can offer to you. |
| 20843 A truer gift that you'll not find amongst any of these other so-called deities. Come, witness the miracle of the truth! Come and behold the Unseeing Eye for yourself and see the true god that is present amongst us! |
| 20844 No! Do not go with him! |
| 20845 I'll do as I wish! I want the truth! Show me the Unseeing Eye! |
| 20846 Yes! Show me! |
| 20847 Come, then! Those of you who wish to become the truly faithful, to witness the magnificence of the Unseeing Eye and the truth he brings... come with me! |
| 20848 Wot're you doing? Are you mad? |

| 20850 Aye, if you do not wish to see the truth, that is your business. |

| 20857 Yes, I am <PRO_HESHE>. What is it that you want? |
| 20858 That so? I was thinkin' me sources of information infallible. Well, I suppose ye won't be wantin' any information on the young woman arrested by the Cowled Wizards when ye first came to Athkatla... ah? |
| 20859 That's correct. I've no interest in that. |
| 20860 You're speaking of Imoen? What do you know of her? |
| 20861 'Tis not what I want, but what I can be doin' for ye. You might be wanting information about a young lass arrested by the wizards on your arrival here, aye? |
| 20862 You're talking about Imoen? What do you know about her? |
| 20863 But they can be doin' far better than the tellin', my friend. They can also effect the rescue of your lass to boot. |
| 20864 I'd rather know who you are first before I deal with you. |
| 20865 Excuse me, I don't have time to deal with you right now. |
| 20866 Well now, that be right amazing. I thought you'd at least want to know about the wizard that kept you prisoner. I have the wrong person completely? |
| 20868 I have already said that you have the wrong person. Why pester me? |
| 20869 You know something about that wizard? Well, now you've piqued my interest. |
| 20870 Aha! So I does have you correctly! Cooo! An' here I thought I be talkin' to a complete stranger. Ah, wipin' me brow, I am. Heh! |
| 20871 Now... Imoen, aye, that be her name. Young lass made the misfortune o' castin' a spell or two in a city that frowns on such business. Bad timin', it was. You be thinking you wants to find her, then? |
| 20872 Of course I want to find her! What do you know? |
| 20873 I'm not really all that interested. I was just curious, is all. |
| 20874 I'd rather know who I'm dealing with first. |
| 20875 Rapture of the Father |
| 20876 Well then, so be it. The wizard who was arrested with her, though... ye were kept in his dungeon like a rat, eh? Maybe ye's have a question or two. Maybe ye wants to find 'im? |
| 20877 Actually, yes, I would very much like to find that wizard. |
| 20878 I would rather know who I am dealing with first. |
| 20879 No, I've no interest in the wizard either. Why pester me? |

| 20969 You cannot control more that 5 monsters at any given time. |
| 20970 None. It be 20,000 gp or me friends canna be helping ye. |
| 20971 Well, I think it is an outrageous amount! |
| 20972 Just tell me where Imoen is, then, and I'll handle the rest on my own. |

| 20977 I see. Well, here it is then. |
| 20978 Erdane |
| 20979 I do not have that much... how am I supposed to raise such an amount? |
| 20981 Ah! Ye be havin' it, already, does ye? A great an' good thing it is. I will tell ye of the man who can be helpin' ye. |
| 20982 I am sure ye have spent as much in the past and will again. Surely there be work in the city for ye. Or perhaps some of yer expensive goods to sell? |
| 20983 Leather Armor +3 |
| 20984 Karajah was Calimshan's champion of pit fighting for a full decade, and seemingly unbeatable. His success, or so he claimed, was due to the mobility that his light armor afforded him. He may well have been unaware of the suit's other qualities, but his peers ignored his claims of ignorance when enchantments were discovered. The armor survived the subsequent beating, whereas Karajah did not. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 5 (7 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 4 |

| 20986 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded I've been told that to kill a troll, you must use fire against them when they fall down. Otherwise, they'll get up again. |
| 20987 Where can I sell some goods? |
| 20988 Very well, I'll be back with the money. |
| 20989 Shadow Thief Guildhall |
| 20990 Ye has the 20,000 gold pieces as a payment for it, then? |
| 20991 20,000 gold pieces! That's an outrageous sum! |
| 20992 Is there no way to lower the cost? |
| 20993 All I need to know is where Imoen is. I can handle the rest on my own. |
| 20994 Very well, here it is. |
| 20995 I don't have that much... how am I supposed to raise such a fare? |
| 20996 It's too much to ask when I don't even know who will be getting it. |
| 20997 When I was last in the Copper Coronet, I remember a man tellin' of trouble in Trademeet. Perhaps ye should speak to the boy if ye have nae already. |
| 20998 Come to thinkin' of it, there's always work in the Coronet for those seekin' adventure and mercenary work of one kind or another. Ask about there. |
| 20999 Other than that, there's always be a bit o' intrigue with the thieves near the Docks District. Perhaps try hirin' yourself out to one of the guilds. |
| 21000 You mentioned selling some of my goods... Where is a good place to do it? |
| 21001 Very well, I'll be back with the coin. |
| 21002 Never mind, I'll look for aid elsewhere. |
| 21003 Coo! There be many places to sell as well as buy. Arledrian upstairs is as good as any. He may have a few items you need as well, I think. |
| 21004 Lost one point of Constitution |
| 21005 Very well, I'll be back with the money. |
| 21006 Is there no help to be found elsewhere? |
| 21007 Aye, I'll wait for it. |
| 21008 There be no aid elsewhere. Raise the coin or nay, ye'll come back, and I'll be waitin'. Ye may want to speak to Arledrian upstairs, to help ye out. Good luck. |
| 21009 Good business to ye once again, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. I trust that ye have been changing yer mind, aye? |
| 21010 I would like to know how much aid from your friends will cost me. |
| 21011 I would prefer it if you just told me where Imoen was. I can handle the rest. |
| 21012 Yes, I have changed my mind. I would like your help. |
| 21013 No, I haven't. Excuse me. |
| 21014 Coo! 'Tis grand to be seeing ye again, my friend <CHARNAME>. Ye have barely begun to put together yer coin, though... is there aught that ye be needin' help with? |
| 21015 I need more help finding work. Do you know of anything? |
| 21016 No, thanks, I'll be back. |
| 21017 Hm. I can scarce be thinking of more than I have already told ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. There are a few places one can be going to find work, I do think. |
| 21018 Are ye sure ye tried the Copper Coronet? I remember a boy from Umar Hills looking for help, and a messenger from Trademeet as well. There are others, surely. |
| 21019 I remember seeing a girl named Nalia too... she be lookin' for mercenaries to aid her. If ye have not helped her, I think she be at the Copper Coronet too. |
| 21020 The churches need aid too, they do. Sometimes they work against each other, an' with this strange Unseeing Eye business, they may need aid there too, aye? |
| 21021 I can be thinking of naught else, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am sure there must be work for an adventurer such as ye. Best be on it as well. Good business to ye. |
| 21022 As ye be wishing, I'll wait here for ye. |
| 21023 Greetings to ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. I see ye're a fair way into gatherin' the fee for me friends, aye? A good thing, too. Is there somethin' that ye be needin'? |
| 21024 I need more help finding work. Do you know of anything? |
| 21025 I don't think so. I'll be on my way. |
| 21026 I am sorry I could not release you earlier. |
| 21027 I've a few pains from that incident myself, though I'm not as certain of the cause. |
| 21028 And is there some reason I should have to suffer by hearing you whine about it? |
| 21029 Coo! I see ye're almost there, but not quite, aye? Is there somethin' that ye needed from me? |
| 21030 I need more help finding work. Do you know of anything? |
| 21031 I don't think so. I'll be on my way. |
| 21032 Coo! Ye be already above 15,000 and need go no further. My masters changed their hearts, and they will accept 15,000 alone. It is a competitive rate, I think. |
| 21033 Yes, here you go. |
| 21034 No, I'm not ready to go just yet. I'll be back. |
| 21035 Well, as ye wishes. I can be standing here a bit longer, I can. |
| 21036 Very good. Just so you be knowing, you be goin' to the Shadowmaster, Aran Linvail. Step carefully, me <PRO_LADYLORD>; the Shadowmaster does not suffer fools gladly. |
| 21037 Ye've been seen with dangerous folk... dangerous folk indeed. I be asking ye a question, and ye be answerin' it truthfully or be sufferin' the consequences. |
| 21038 This person ye was seen with... have ye joined forces with her? |
| 21039 Yes, I have. |
| 21040 Yes, I have. |
| 21041 No, I haven't. |
| 21042 No, I haven't. |
| 21043 Well, then. Learn what happens to fools who double-cross the Shadow Thieves! |
| 21044 Liar! Ye were a fool to return here, and even more a fool to double-cross the Shadow Thieves! |
| 21045 Eh? I have a spell here that be saying that ye be lying. This is no time to be tellin' Gaelan jokes, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. No time indeed! |
| 21046 Coo! Good! It is good to be seeing that there are those who tell the truth, even here in this city, aye? |
| 21047 I am satisfied that ye have not joined the wench. Be wary o' her, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. She's a dangerous one. Is there somethin' that ye be needin' then, aye? |
| 21048 Jaguar |
| 21049 Jaguar |
| 21050 I need more help finding work. Do you know of anything? |
| 21051 I have the money now. |
| 21052 No, not right now. I shall return. |
| 21053 Bodhi said the Shadow Thieves are behind the "assistance" you give. Is it true? |
| 21054 Either ye wants the help or ye don't. There is nothing else in Athkatla that can be helping ye. So does ye have the coin to pay for our help or nay? |
| 21055 No, I don't have the fee right now. |
| 21056 Yes, I do. |
| 21057 I've no interest in working with the Shadow Thieves! |
| 21058 Well, ye'll receive help nowhere else. I'll be waitin' here until ye does have the fee then. |
| 21059 As ye wish, but the witch will nae take ye, I reckon, and there's no help elsewhere. I shall be sittin' here until ye change yer mind and collects the fee, aye? |
| 21060 A fair day to you, my <LADYLORD>. I am afraid I can do no business with you until Gaelan wills it, however. |
| 21061 I understand I must give you access to my wares. My sources vary, and I will not name them, but if you wish to purchase, I am sure we can come to an arrangement. |
| 21062 All right. Let's take a look at what you have. |
| 21063 I'm not interested in anything that you have. |
| 21064 An excellent choice, my <LADYLORD>. You'll find that I offer many things not to be found elsewhere in Athkatla... and if they are, you'll not find them at a lower price. |
| 21065 I am sure that is not true, my <LADYLORD>. All of my goods are of interest either for their rarity or their low price. But you may certainly do as you wish. Good business to you. |
| 21066 I am afraid that, today, you must speak first to Gaelan before we can perform any transactions. |
| 21070 It's nothing to be impressed by, old friend. Something learned after years in the scouts, facing off against the wild dangers that nature and magic have thrown at me. |
| 21071 I've noticed, Valygar, that you are quite the adept fighter. I'm afraid I cannot help but compliment you on this. |
| 21072 Still, it is a skill that has served you well, no? |
| 21073 It has served to keep me alive, Cernd, but otherwise it has served me not at all. I would rather be a man of peace and nature as yourself. |
| 21074 Ah, but even I have been forced to fight on occasion. And had you not your skill with the sword, you would have not escaped the Cowled Wizards, would you? |
| 21075 I suppose that's true. |
| 21076 Valygar, this hatred that you hold inside you is truly unhealthy. It is akin to the rot in a tree trunk that will only weaken you in a time when you need to be strong. |
| 21077 Durlag Trollkiller |
| 21078 Durlag Trollkiller |
| 21079 I'll not let it be, Cernd. The wizard killed Suna in such an offhand fashion... he cared not a spit for her life. Doesn't he deserve to suffer for it? |
| 21080 If your thoughts are only of vengeance, how can they be on the path that lies ahead of us? There are more immediate dangers. |
| 21081 Greater Ghast |
| 21082 Well, I know it. And you have no need to worry... I shall pay the closest attention to every step that brings me closer to that foul mage! |
| 21083 Greater Ghast |
| 21084 We don't know all there is to know about this, Valygar. We should not be so quick to jump to conclusions. |
| 21085 He killed Suna! There is nothing else to know! |
| 21086 Nothing? Like there was nothing else to be considered of Lavok? Your ancestor was not quite what you expected, was he? |
| 21087 I... damn you, druid, just leave me be! |
| 21088 I do not understand you, ranger. You have the blood of a necromancer coursing through you and the ability to take the planar sphere for yourself! Why you did not do so eludes me. |
| 21089 Of course it eludes you, wizard. I've no interest in power... and even less interest in magic. |
| 21090 I've been told the gods love a fool. They must think often and fondly of you then, ranger. |
| 21091 You remind me more and more as each day passes of what makes magic vile and evil, wizard. |
| 21092 You would do well to be reminded of what makes magic powerful, fool. I've power enough to hold your life in my hands if I choose. |
| 21093 Your words do not frighten me, Edwin. I could slice you to ribbons before the first incantation of your threat was carried out. |
| 21094 Indeed? Your lack of fear for the arcane arts must explain, then, why you cowered before Lavok and the Cowled Wizards. Your actions belie your bravado. |
| 21095 I cower before nothing! I merely showed caution before approaching Lavok... someone possessing far more power than you! |
| 21096 You call that caution? Quivering in a forest? Lavok could have dealt with you in a second if he chose. And it would only take me a second longer. |
| 21097 We shall see! |
| 21098 You did what you could, and that is enough. I appreciate it, but I also worry that you suffered worse. |
| 21099 I am not surprised. Irenicus seemed to have a special interest in you. I imagine he will not be the last, and I cannot blame him. I have an interest as well. |
| 21100 As a Harper, I mean. I wouldn't want you to think... |
| 21101 Um... Let's just get moving. |
| 21102 Well, I'll try not to be a bother to you in the future. If it is silence you wish, you shall have it. |
| 21103 I am fine, but I've no desire to allow the same to happen again. |
| 21104 Thanks for the concern, but whatever damage done is over with. |
| 21105 The event is behind us, but I doubt it is truly over with. We will have to find Irenicus to really put the matter to rest. At least, that is my aim. |
| 21106 Ah, I didn't want to turn the topic sour with this. Small talk was my intent. Not very good at it, I'm afraid. |
| 21107 Blast! Our progress is not as it could be, I am sure. Ah, perhaps it is just me. I grow tired of these pursuits. My life was not always such. |
| 21108 And what did it used to be like? I cannot picture you other than as you are. |
| 21109 You picked an odd profession if you really desire to settle down. |
| 21110 And I should care for what reason, exactly? Save your musings for your memoirs. |
| 21111 Now is not really the time for this, Jaheira. Could we talk later? |
| 21112 Oh, I am certainly meant to be this way, but I once lived quite peacefully. Druids took me in very young, and you can only be calm when surrounded by balance. |
| 21113 It was like that for a long time, but I always felt I should do more. Balance needed to be... encouraged. I wouldn't let it happen again. |
| 21114 True enough, but I was not always a Harper. I was raised among druids before I sought to serve with Those Who Harp. There was balance where I was. |
| 21115 You would not allow what to happen again? |
| 21116 What happened to make you think so? Certainly not the unbearable calm. |
| 21117 Oh, nothing. I'm just rambling on. Talking to a trusted friend helps ease the soul. I hope I do as much for you as well. |
| 21118 I mean... for the good of the party. |
| 21119 I... This may be a bad time or not, but you asked a question of me, and I brushed it aside. I would speak of it now, if you still wish to hear. |
| 21120 Be assured I will not pester you again. Silence will be your companion. Enjoy her. |
| 21121 I... if you wish. I had just thought... never mind. We shall continue as we are. |
| 21122 I did not want to press if you wanted to remain silent. |
| 21123 I am interested. Another time would be better, but if you cannot wait, speak. |
| 21124 I am no longer interested. Save it for another day and someone else's ears. |
| 21125 If the moment is truly lost, so be it. I will not speak of this, or much else for that matter. |
| 21126 I did, but I... it is not important enough to keep aside. I would rather such things be talked of openly. I know much of you, but you know little of me. |
| 21127 It is not important, but I would rather speak than keep things aside. I... was thinking it best to... to be forthcoming. I know you well, but you know little of me. |
| 21128 You asked what made me seek the Harpers or similar service. I was made aware of what had come before, and what still happened outside of the forests. |
| 21129 I came to the druids after my family died during a king's fall. No, I am not royalty, and neither do I grieve. I do not feel their loss in that way. |
| 21130 But I was angry that a life was taken from me, even though I still live. It had happened far from the grove, but I brought the conflict there in my manner. |
| 21131 I decided that the balance needed help beyond the forest, or it would eventually fail there as well. Simple reasoning, I suppose. |
| 21132 I... I don't know why I didn't wish this known. Maybe I thought such a history was unimportant by the standards of others such as... well... such as yourself. |
| 21133 It is your experience, and you have done much with it. I see nothing trite here. |
| 21134 You are more of a person when you have a history. Perhaps you think that a weakness, but I do not. |
| 21135 Do not diminish your beginnings. You have taken control much more effectively than I have. |
| 21136 I thank you for those words. I find myself drawing strength from you in our close quarters. It has been... a great help. |
| 21137 I... I am sorry. We should continue on. |
| 21138 We continue on our path, and I cannot help but wonder if we walk in balance. I have a role to follow... |
| 21139 I assume you speak of your role as a Harper? |
| 21140 Your role as druid? |
| 21141 Then follow as you must, but in silence, please! |
| 21142 I... I thought we had come to a point where such talk was valuable to... Never mind, I shall not pursue what is obviously lost. |
| 21143 As Harper and as druid. They are complimentary, despite bards being thought the Harper standard-bearers. Both seek balance over all. I... I think I have done so. |
| 21144 Sometimes the proper course is hard to see; what is best overall may seem barbaric at first. You will know this when... if you deal with Harpers in the future. |
| 21145 If you have doubts, then why do you stay affiliated with them? |
| 21146 It sounds like you do not trust yourself. That is very unlike you. |
| 21147 An ominous turn of phrase. If you dread such a meeting, why not avoid it? |
| 21148 The goal is what matters despite a questionable method. Balance in politics, balance in nature, balance in one's selfâ€â€all take strong measures to maintain. |
| 21149 I think... I think I am the one out of balance, not you. I think... well, I think many things. I... I need more time to consider this. |
| 21150 I'm afraid you'll have to indulge my silence for a time longer. I... I apologize for interrupting you. |
| 21151 I... I worry sometimes... |
| 21152 <CHARNAME>, do you worry about missing friends? About those missing or... lost? Of course you do, I don't know what prompted me to ask. |
| 21153 I do not mind. Yes, I hope to spare them the pain of loss I have felt. |
| 21154 Those I spent time with as a child; their absence is a great loss to me. |
| 21155 Some were valuable to the group, and I hope to recoup that loss as soon as possible. |
| 21156 I don't know either, because it is none of your business. Keep your topics to the matter at hand. |
| 21157 I had thought old friends remained an important matter. If I assumed too much, I am sorry. You will hear no more from me on the subject. |
| 21158 Or any other, for that matter. |
| 21159 I'm not sure why I brought it up. I just needed to know that... the living and dead are still in mind. They grow distant, but vengeance must still come. |
| 21160 I am becoming used to the aftermath of death, but I will not forget what must be avenged. There must be closure. I must do this even as I... as we... move on. |
| 21161 That is good to know. Those passed beyond will be glad that we do not carry them as a burden, but that we do seek justice in their names. |
| 21162 I know this better than any other. Old wrongs will not be forgotten. |
| 21163 Every death will be repaid tenfold. |
| 21164 I... I don't brood all the time; I was just thinking of the past and what is to come. I'm trying to balance... Well, enough whining for today. Let's move on. |
| 21165 Ah, I do wish these scars would heal. I've a life to continue, and I do not need to be picking at old wounds. |
| 21166 Tell me, Valygar, your family was once rich and powerful, yes? |
| 21167 Yes... what is your point? |
| 21169 I simply am interested in the story of how they have fallen so far. Decayed, as it were, over the years until you are the last member of a small and decrepit estate. |
| 21170 My family lost its wealth long before I inherited anything of it. And none of it interests me anyway. I'd much rather spend my time in the wild. |
| 21171 And so the family will end completely, then. How very right and natural that is, a cycle having come to completion. Hmm. Yes. |
| 21172 I'm glad it amuses you. I myself have had to live through my family's decline, and I would rather not discuss it as if it were some point of philosophy. |
| 21173 Perhaps I could ask you more about it? It would make a wonderful story, I think. |
| 21174 Mind your own business. |
| 21175 Hmm. You know, this all reminds me of my dear old mother. Did I ever tell you of my mother, Valygar? |
| 21176 I've no interest in hearing about your mother, gnome. Or any mother, for that matter. |
| 21177 Oh, come now, surely it can't all be that bad? Mothers are the most benevolent force in the world, cradling you and caring for you from birth until death. What could be wrong with a story about a dear old mother? |
| 21178 Let me tell you a story, Jan, about MY mother. She fell to our family curse young, toying with magic, sinking half our fortune into ancient texts and scrolls. |
| 21180 She was obsessed with it. Even my father could barely drag her away from her studies. She practically ignored me from the day I was born. |
| 21181 Er... |
| 21182 She didn't regret her neglect until after my father died. She became so anguished she reanimated him and went insane trying to lavish attention on his zombie. |
| 21183 Ultimately, she entered undeath to join him, and I was forced to destroy them both lest they do more harm. I was crying as I did so. |
| 21184 So how is that, gnome? Is that the kind of story you were thinking of? Does it compare to the wonderful story of your mother? |
| 21185 Ah, no, no. I think that is quite sufficient, thank you. |
| 21186 You'll have to excuse me if I stare, as you're not quite what I was expecting. From all I've been told, I was expecting someone... larger. |
| 21187 Kiel the Legion Killer |
| 21188 Kiel the Legion Killer |
| 21189 What exactly have you been told of me? |
| 21190 I was expecting more from the leader of the Shadow Thieves myself. |
| 21191 What is it that you want from me? |
| 21192 I'll not stand here and be insulted. |
| 21193 You'll have to excuse me if you're not quite what I was expecting. From all I've been told, I expected something... grander. |
| 21194 What exactly have you been told of me? |
| 21195 I was expecting more from the leader of the Shadow Thieves myself. |
| 21196 What is it that you want from me? |
| 21197 I'll not stand here and be insulted. |
| 21198 You must understand, naturally, that an organization like mine thrives on information above all else. He who is ignorant quickly becomes a target, and all that. |
| 21199 I see. What is it, then, that you wish from me? |
| 21200 Who exactly are you? You are the leader of the Shadow Thieves, I presume? |
| 21201 That's all very interesting, but I must be on my way. |
| 21202 Yes, well, when you earn a name like "Bloodscalp," you do tend to raise expectations. I assure you that I am more than I seem. I am sure the same is true of you. |
| 21203 As an aside, I am not the "leader" of the Shadow Thieves as you perhaps mean, but I lead enough that it makes no difference to you. But this is irrelevant. |
| 21204 I would be interested to know what you've been told about me. |
| 21205 What is it that you wish of me, then? |
| 21206 Well, you don't impress me in the slightest. |
| 21207 True enough. I'll be leaving now. |
| 21208 Right to the point, eh? Refreshing. I am sick of underlings who shift from foot to foot. I find a bit of directness to be a nice change. |
| 21210 To be short, Gaelan recommended you, and I trust his word. I am in need of mercenaries to perform a particular task, and you are just the one to do it. |
| 21211 Why would you need me? Why not get one of your thieves to do it? |
| 21212 What kind of payment would I be looking at for this task? |
| 21213 What sort of work are you talking about? |
| 21214 I have no interest in working for the Shadow Thieves. Excuse me. |
| 21215 You needn't stand here at all, but *you* came into *my* guild house first. I'm simply making use of you now that you are here. I had thought you made of hardier stuff. |
| 21216 What sorts of things have you been told about me? |
| 21217 Make use of me? How do you mean? |
| 21218 Your guild house? I take it you are the leader of the Shadow Thieves here? |
| 21219 Well, I'm not here to impress you. I'll be on my way. |
| 21220 My name is Renal, as I'm sure you've been told. Renal "Bloodscalp"... a little nickname I've earned over time. Rather grisly, but it keeps the fearful in line. |
| 21221 If that is what you wish. Gaelan spoke well of you, so you are free to return if you change your mind. Working with me is very... profitable, so think about it. |
| 21222 I do not ask you to be impressed, and neither did I ask you to come. You are a guest, and you will treat me with the respect I am due... or I shall become angry. |
| 21223 But there's no need for any of that, is there? I'm sure we can remain friends and conclude what I am sure to be a very profitable deal for us both. |
| 21224 I'd like to know what you've been told of me first. |
| 21225 What kind of deal are you talking about? |
| 21226 I've no interest in making any deals with you. |
| 21227 A fair question. Any of my available assassins or thieves are quite capable, and on a normal day, I would not consider it necessary to look beyond my guild. |
| 21228 Someone, I trust, like yourself. |
| 21229 Why? What is it, exactly, that you would have me do? |
| 21230 I see. And what would I be paid for performing such a service for you? |
| 21231 Very well, I have heard enough. I agree to perform this service for you. |
| 21232 Well, you believe wrong. I've no interest in doing this. |
| 21233 What kind of payment would I be looking at for this task? |
| 21234 I see. And what would I be paid for performing such a service for you? |
| 21235 Ah yes, we all arrive at this point eventually. What's in it for you? Well, since this is a rather delicate mission, I have a rather unusual offer for you. |
| 21236 If it does, and Mae'Var proves to be guilty... and of that I have little doubt... then you will have proven yourself to me fully. |
| 21237 At that point, I would offer you the position which poor Mae'Var would be forced to vacate. How about it, <CHARNAME>? Interested in running your own guild house? |
| 21238 Why would you not want one of your own men to perform this task? |
| 21239 I would like to know more details about this task before I agree to anything. |
| 21240 Mmm. Interesting. Very well... I agree to do as you ask. |
| 21241 No. I've no interest in doing this. |
| 21242 You are interested in acquiring more than the simple goodwill of the Shadow Thieves, I see. I do not blame you... I would feel the same way. |
| 21243 Working for Mae'Var will give you plenty of rewards on its own, and I have no qualms about adding a healthy dose of gold on top of that. Does that satisfy? |
| 21244 Why you don't put one of your own men on this task? Why do you need me? |
| 21245 I would like to know more specifics of this task. |
| 21246 That sounds fine. I agree to do as you ask. |
| 21247 No, I'm not interested. Excuse me. |
| 21248 Yes, the details. How shall I put this? One of my guild houses to the south is run by a rather ambitious fellow named Mae'Var. Good thief, but I never liked him. Now I know why. |
| 21249 I've had some hints that he is getting too big for himself. Thinking of taking my place, I suspect, but I've had no real evidence to say that this is so. |
| 21250 But without proof of betrayal, this would anger the other guildmasters and then I'd have a war on my hands and, well, just let it lie that I don't want that. |
| 21251 I will give you papers saying you were being transferred by the Shadowmaster. You will spy on Mae'Var from the inside and find me the evidence that I need. |
| 21252 You'll need to reassure Mae'Var, naturally. He won't know who you are, but I am confident that you are more than capable of this. What say you? Interested? |
| 21253 Why don't you send one of your own men to do this? |
| 21254 What kind of reward would I be looking at for this? |
| 21255 What kind of reward would I be looking at for this? |
| 21256 Very well, I'll do as you ask. |
| 21257 No, I'm not interested in working for you. |
| 21258 Well, it can't be said I didn't try. I'm sure that you understand the importance of not repeating what we've discussed. It wouldn't be particularly... healthy. |
| 21259 But don't look on that as a threat, truly. We're all good friends here, right? If you change your mind, do come back and we'll talk again. |
| 21260 Excellent. I knew this would work out for the best. You remind me a bit of myself when I first arrived here. |
| 21261 Here are the papers you need to present to Mae'Var's men to gain access. I'm sure I don't have to tell you to be careful, do I? No, I didn't think so. |
| 21262 Just head to the storefront in the central docks area and speak to the storekeeper, Gorch. Show the papers to him, and he'll let you in the guild house proper. |
| 21263 Work for Mae'Var as long as it takes to collect your evidence, and bring whatever you can find to me. I'll be waiting to receive it most eagerly. |
| 21264 Well, hello once again, <CHARNAME>. My, you turn up more often than a bad copper, don't you? I trust you've changed your mind about my proposal? |
| 21265 What was it that you wanted me to do again? |
| 21266 I'd like to know why one of your own men doesn't do it for you. |
| 21267 I'm interested in knowing what the reward is for your task. |
| 21268 I'm interested in knowing what the reward is for your task. |
| 21269 No, I haven't. |
| 21270 Why did you bother me, then? Hmph. If you change your mind, let's speak again. Otherwise, keep yourself busy elsewhere. |
| 21271 Aha! It is <CHARNAME>, our good friend returned to us! Excuse me while I rub my hands in anticipation. I trust you have the evidence I am looking for? |
| 21272 I spoke to a thief named Embarl who overheard Mae'Var planning to assassinate you. |
| 21273 No, I don't have anything to tell you at the moment. |
| 21274 Hmm. But you have nothing in writing? No confession? No orders given to his men? I'm afraid that this tale does me little good. |
| 21275 Even if you got this Embarl alive, he's of no use as evidence. If rumor were proof, half of my guildmasters could be plotting my assassination on any given day. |
| 21276 What I need is confirmation, something in writing with fingerprints all but covering it. No, this isn't enough. Return to Mae'Var and continue investigating. |
| 21277 Arvoreen protect me! |
| 21278 I am most pleased with the efforts this party is making. I'm proud to be a part of it. |
| 21279 What are you doing back here, then? You may have been followed by Mae'Var's men. Go back to his guild and find me the proof I need. |
| 21280 I trust that this current... direction we are on will not continue. |
| 21281 I am warning you... as a defender of the right, I will not tolerate this sort of behavior! |
| 21282 You are a vile and inconsiderate lout, and our association is at an end! |
| 21283 In Arvoreen's name, I shall do all I can to lead you through these perilous times. |
| 21284 *yawn* I am willing to continue, if needed... but I would vote to stop and rest. |
| 21285 Renal Bloodscalp |
| 21286 Renal Bloodscalp |
| 21287 It is good to speak to you once again, my dear <PRO_LADYLORD>. Tell me, have you acquired what I seek? |
| 21288 No, I don't have any evidence yet. |
| 21289 I was never one to enjoy sitting still for long. I hope you shall have something for me to do soon. |
| 21290 Ah, <CHARNAME>! I was just counting some loot from a delightful outing we had not long ago, and I thought of you. Mask help me if I didn't smile just a little! |
| 21291 You won't make that smile disappear, will you? You've brought news, perhaps? You've brought some evidence of Mae'Var's foulness? Do tell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 21292 Yes, I have the evidence you need in these writings. It seems that Mae'Var has been making overtures to the Night Knives. |
| 21293 Is that so? Hmm. Now, that is unexpected. Fortunately, it's more than enough to damn Mae'Var completely. I thank you, <CHARNAME>, for providing this. |
| 21294 Once he is damned with proof, you can take care of this nuisance and eliminate Mae'Var. One less headache for a busy man such as myself to be concerned with. |
| 21295 Only the last part of our deal remains to be carried out. Go and eliminate Mae'Var then, with my full authority. Do that and this business shall be finished, finally. |
| 21296 Very well. I'll go and eliminate the scum for you and return. |
| 21297 I'm no assassin, Renal. I've provided the evidence to you. Kill Mae'Var yourself. |
| 21298 The first part that needs to be taken care of, naturally, is finding the evidence on Mae'Var. |
| 21299 Islanne. |

| 21305 That's a good sport! |
| 21306 You have been in Mae'Var's company and seen the ruthless nature of the man. If you will not do this for moral outrage, I will compensate your mercenary side. |
| 21307 If that's the way it has to be, then I have little choice. I will kill Mae'Var and return. |

| 21313 Pellan's Shield +2 |
| 21314 This dwarven-made shield was commissioned by Pellan of Tyr, a brash paladin known for unquestioning courage and an almost total lack of common sense. Upon hearing that a red dragon was ravaging the countryside, Pellan mounted his horse and rode off to do battle. As it happened, Pellan and his armor digested readily enough, but the shield gave the dragon severe stomach cramps. Subsequently coughed up, it lay in a hoard for years until retrieved by Pellan's son, a warrior who knew when to sneak. Superior craftsmanship is supplemented by a permanent lightness spell, which makes the shield very easy to wield. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +3, an extra +1 vs. missile attacks Requires: 10 Strength Weight: 4 |
| 21315 Well, the choice is yours. If you change your mind and wish to collect, I would consider it. I wouldn't wait too long, however. Eventually, I'll do it myself. |
| 21316 In defense of virtue! |
| 21317 I shall overcome! |
| 21320 The tale of your deed has already reached my ear, as such things tend to. Well done, I say! Your reward is well earned. |

| 21324 Move on, you. This here be no place to concern ye. |
| 21325 Ye've made quite th' mistake, showin' yer face around here! |
| 21326 Aye now. You there! You a friend of Gaelan's? Me boss says ye're welcome to enter, if ye likes. |
| 21327 Ye're welcome to enter th' guild, as ye wishes. Go on in. |
| 21328 Hold! You tread on sacred ground. Only those who serve the Unseeing Eye may enter. I am Gaal, high priest of the One God. |
| 21329 Watch yerself here. |
| 21330 Ye can do as ye likes in the guildhall, but don't get into trouble. |
| 21331 I'm not here to be talkin'. |
| 21332 Go an' talk to Renal, that's what I suggest. |
| 21333 A large shield inlaid with a golden griffin. This shield, also known as the kite or tower shield, is a massive metal shield reaching nearly from the chin to the toe of the user. It must be firmly fastened to the forearm and the shield hand must firmly grip it at all times. Naturally, this precludes use of the shield hand for anything but holding the body shield in place. Strangely enough, this shield feels unusually light for its size. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +1, an extra +1 vs. missile attacks Requires: 10 Strength Weight: 4 |
| 21334 You're here to talk to Renal, aren't you? So talk to him. |
| 21335 I'm one of the Bloodscalp's personal guards. Don't mess with him, and you won't have to mess with me. |
| 21336 Don't waste your breath; I've got nothing special to say. |
| 21337 Pleased to meet you. |
| 21338 Back off, fool. |
| 21339 You have arrived. I had worried I might have to discipline Valen for failing to deliver her message. I am Bodhi, and I greet you warmly. |
| 21340 You may be concerned about why we must meet here. There are a number of reasons, only a few of which you need to worry about. First, I shall introduce myself. I am Bodhi. |
| 21341 Good business, my <LADYLORD>. I don't think I've seen you before... perhaps you might be interested in looking at some well-priced goods that have fallen into my hands? |
| 21342 Are you trying to tell me that these goods are stolen? |
| 21343 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 21344 No, I'm not interested in anything. |
| 21345 I don't think of them as stolen, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Merely "previously owned." And, truly, the ease with which I acquired them could truly be called akin to merely "falling" into my hands. |
| 21346 Well, I'll have no qualms about it. Let me see what you have to offer. |
| 21347 Not interested. |
| 21348 A most prudent choice, and one you'll quickly see is worth your while. |
| 21349 That is too bad, my <LADYLORD>. Perhaps you are in need of a few coppers? Or shall I find you some swaddling clothes? |
| 21350 Ah! It is good to see you again, my <LADYLORD>. Might you be interested in perusing some goods that have fallen into my hands? |
| 21351 You are selling stolen goods? |
| 21352 Yes, let me see what you have. |
| 21353 No, thanks. |
| 21354 Aye? Can I help you? |
| 21355 What is this place? |
| 21356 Who are you? |
| 21357 Never mind, I'll be going. |
| 21358 This place? Well, the guards let you in, so you must belong here. This is the guildhall for the Shadow Thieves. Let me bid you welcome, friend. |
| 21359 I don't think I belong here... I don't know why the guard let me in. |
| 21360 Who are you? |
| 21361 I'll be leaving now. |
| 21362 Heh. If you have to ask, you sure haven't been here long. I be Sidge, one of the good fellows here in the Shadow Thieves. |
| 21363 The Shadow Thieves? You admit to being a thief? |
| 21364 The Shadow Thieves? Where am I? |
| 21365 I see. Well, I'll be moving on, Sidge. |
| 21366 As you wish. Heh, watch yer belt pouch here while ye're at it. Just a word of friendly advice is all. |
| 21367 Ah. More than likely, then, the Bloodscalp has business with you. |
| 21368 Kiel's Morning Star |
| 21369 The Bloodscalp? Who is that? |
| 21370 Er... yes, well I'll go, then. |
| 21371 Bite yer tongueâ€â€I'm no thief! I'm an assassin of the highest order. You'd be well-advised to guard your tongue here amongst the Shadow Thieves. |
| 21372 What kind of place is this? |
| 21373 I'll take your advice to heart, Sidge. See you some other time. |
| 21374 I'll talk as I wish. And to whom I wish. |
| 21375 Renal Bloodscalp runs this place. Chances are he has business with you if he let you in. You can find him upstairs, on the second floor. I'd watch yourself around him... |
| 21376 I see. Who are you, again? |
| 21377 Thanks, then. I'll be going. |
| 21378 Then one of your wishes must be to die, too, because if you keep up that tone here, it'll be granted soon enough. |

| 21380 Good day, once again. Somethin' you needed? |
| 21381 Could you tell me where I am again? |
| 21382 Who are you? |
| 21383 Who runs this place? |
| 21384 No, I don't think so. |

| 21388 Ye been here much? I don' be recognizin' ye. |
| 21389 Mmm... aren't you here to speak t' Renal? |
| 21390 I'm nae movin' an inch. I jus' spent half th' bleedin' morning being chased by one of 'em ambitious guards in th' Graveyard District. Phew! |
| 21391 I've got enough coin here t' please me gal for some time, let me tells you! |
| 21392 The Shadow Thieves rule the night o' the city, let me tell ye surely. |

| 21394 Ye should be talkin' to Renal... the Bloodscalp wants business with ye, he does. |
| 21395 Hello, friends, might I have a word away from the ears of others? I would impart a fine bit of business your way. |
| 21396 Would you now? And what might this be? |
| 21397 You'll keep your hands to yourself, lowly one, or have them cut off! |
| 21398 Leave me. I have no time for your nonsense. |

| 21400 I am always interested in business. If there is profit in your words, I will listen. |
| 21401 Well, truthfully, it is not for me to say. At least, not in full measure. My mistress would have words with you... about concerns you have no doubt developed on your own. |
| 21402 Aye now, who's this sweet thing, hmm? |
| 21403 Aye now... you looks like some kinda knight? What's a fella like you doin' here? |
| 21404 I can barely tolerate the vileness of this place, never mind your existence. You'll quit your tongue when you so much as look in my direction, worm! |
| 21405 I've spent all day sharpening these knives... what do you think? |
| 21406 Watch it... the Shadow Thieves don't tolerate idiots. |

| 21409 You should speak to Renal. |
| 21410 You're here to see Renal, aren't you? |
| 21411 Gaal |
| 21412 Gaal |
| 21413 Ah, but you should make time in this instance. My mistress would speak with you, about some issues you have probably sought answers for on your own. |
| 21414 I think the Bloodscalp has business with you. If you're lucky, it's not the sort of business that makes you wind up dead. |
| 21415 Why, hello there |
| 21416 Oh, there is profit to be sure. There are also answers, but they shall come from my mistress. She would have words with you. |
| 21417 Hello, pretty one! My... the people here are rather friendly, aren't they? Cheshire smiles from strangers. |
| 21418 She has watched you for a time, though she is not the only one. Those that you are asked to trust spy as openly or more so, and she offers a solution to your problems of privacy... among others. |
| 21419 Mm? We don't get many of your kind here, bard. |
| 21420 I'm positive of it, my dear. I'm sure you have not seen one of my kind in all of your life, or perhaps your mother's before you. |
| 21421 She is worthy of your trust. If you feel worthy of hers, come to the Graveyard District in the near future and she will speak her offer. Make your visit after the sky has darkened; she will not be there before then. |
| 21422 And who shall I say has sent me? I do not wish to be seen as an intruder. |
| 21423 Who is this mistress of yours? I would know her name before I go wandering through the Graveyard District. |
| 21424 Such an unseemly place. Why should the meeting be so inaccessible? |
| 21425 I will be there. Tell her she will not need to wait long. |
| 21426 I refuse. If there are words that need be said, she can come to me. |
| 21427 I am Valen, but she will not need as such when you arrive. She will know it is you. Farewell. We shall meet again. |
| 21428 Questions, questions. All will be discussed in proper course. Meet where discussed, and you will have your answers. |
| 21429 I need tell her nothing. She will know when you arrive. Farewell and good journeys to you. |
| 21430 I must say, Valygar, that I have watched you fight and have found you to be a most extraordinary warrior. How is it that you have not pursued something more important with your life? |
| 21431 That is foolish and premature. Should you not hear the offer first? Granted, her meeting conditions are less than ideal, but so is your current circumstance. She will wait... for a time. |
| 21432 More important? What do you mean? |
| 21433 More important... such as joining one of the Royal Orders. Or perhaps earning a career in the military. Serving your lord or your god, as it were. |
| 21434 Think on it, but the door is closing soon. Do not delay too long. Farewell. |
| 21435 I was in the army once as a scout. It wasn't for me. |

| 21437 What about serving your god, then? |
| 21438 But I have no god, paladin. Whom would I serve? |
| 21439 You have no god?! Do you speak truly? How could one live such a life devoid of faith? |
| 21440 I live it according to my heart. I defend the natural against the unnatural, and that is important enough for me. |
| 21441 Well spoken, Valygar. You're a good man, if godless. I meant no offense. |
| 21442 None taken, Keldorn. Were that all people were of as true of purpose as yourself. |
| 21443 I understand congratulations are due to you, Valygar. |
| 21444 Congratulations? What for? |
| 21445 Kiel's Helmet |
| 21446 You have fulfilled your family's oath. A vow lived up to is a rare thing, my friend. Even rarer a vow that stretches back five hundred years. |
| 21447 Yes, I see. My family's vow to kill Lavok. It... does not feel as I think it should. |
| 21448 How so? Your family would be proud of you. |
| 21449 Would they? I doubt most of my family even remembered the oath. And I am sure none of them knew Lavok. |
| 21450 It hardly matters, I think. The necromancer was evil, and even if he regretted his evil in the end, he still had to accept penance. |
| 21451 I am not so sure, Keldorn. What disturbs me is my readiness to believe him as some kind of absolute evil. Things are not quite so black and white, I think. |
| 21452 Perhaps you are right, Valygar. |
| 21453 Minsc... something about you concerns me... |
| 21454 I must say, Korgan, you're not like other dwarves I've known. |
| 21455 I suppose ye're talking about yon sissy forest dwarves, ranger. |
| 21456 No, I've kept company with mountain dwarves in the past and always respected their determination and sense. Behind the gruffness was compassion and wisdom. |
| 21457 Ehh, ye don't know the dwarven folk well then, I take it. Ye describe me nae e'en a little. |
| 21458 That's true. Like I said, you're nothing like them. |
| 21459 There be an insult in there somewhere, ranger. I nae like yer tone, and ye should be wary if I stumble across it. |
| 21460 I've no worry of that, dwarf. Nor any of you. |
| 21461 I have been thinking, Squire Valygar. Once this is all over, perhaps Waterdeep would be a good place for us to travel. |
| 21462 *sigh* I am not your squire, Mazzy. |
| 21463 I've heard many fine things about the city, and I would like to see it at least once. We can stop at Dragonspear on the way. |
| 21464 Why would you want to go to Waterdeep? It's a crowded, dirty place filled to the walls with humanity. I can't think of anything less appealing. |
| 21465 Well, have you ever been there? |
| 21466 Well, no, but |
| 21467 Then there's no harm in seeing it at least once, is there? |
| 21468 I have asked you here because we are unlikely to be overheard and so you can see the benefits of working with me. Follow, please, and stay exactly in my step. You would... regret doing other. |
| 21469 I've no intention of setting foot inside the place, Mazzy. And I've given no thought as to where I will go once this is done. |
| 21470 But... that's not how a squire should talk... not to a real knight... |
| 21471 Mazzy, I... *sigh* Very well, if you wish to go to Waterdeep, I will at least accompany you part of the way... though I would prefer to travel to Neverwinter. |
| 21472 A fair trade! Thank... thank you Valygar. I am lucky to have your aid. |
| 21473 What is this? I am not hurt. Boo is not hurt. What is there to be concerned about? |
| 21474 I find it odd that someone who fights so well is not entirely in possession of his senses. |
| 21475 I have all the senses needed to put evil in its place, plus the added bonus of Boo's keen hamster eyes. What else is necessary? |
| 21476 Have you... considered seeing a priest, Minsc? Someone who might try to heal your... uh... head wound? |
| 21477 I have been seen by the best and by the worst, and all have learned that Minsc is Minsc is Minsc. I do good things for those that need them; why is there a problem? |
| 21478 Warm you may be, but you are in a very cold place. Was this necessary? |
| 21479 Yes, yes, but why must I come all the way out here? It isn't safe. |
| 21480 I don't care about your greeting. Just explain why I am here! |
| 21481 I wonder, Nalia... Why is it that you struggle to be so different from what your family asks of you? |
| 21482 I am uncomfortable with their wealth, Valygar. There are so many who live in squalor, and yet we are supposed to hoist ourselves above them because we are nobles? |
| 21483 You cannot solve all problems with wealth, Nalia. |
| 21484 Tell that to a starving peasant. |
| 21485 I do not think they are as unhappy as that, really. Was your father a cruel man, then? |
| 21486 Well... no, of course not. But that has |
| 21487 My family was afflicted by our curse; I knew little affection or care. I would have given up all our wealth for the sane, loving parent your father was. |
| 21488 I... I suppose... |
| 21489 Believe it, Nalia. One day it will truly be too late. |
| 21490 *sigh* What a beautiful day. And what makes it even better is that I am truly a free man. |
| 21491 So joyful, ranger? You find some happiness, perhaps, in the slaughter of a relative? |
| 21492 I find some pleasure in being able to walk freely, drow. |
| 21493 Ah. I thought perhaps it was the murder of your uncle... or whatever he was. We have similarities in drow culture to such a thing. |
| 21494 I'll not be baited by you, Viconia. I have no pleasant thoughts of Lavok's death. |
| 21495 Indeed? You seemed eager enough before. Perhaps he was not as evil as you thought, hm? Perhaps he should have had "evil" written across his chest? |
| 21496 I... I still know evil when I see it, Viconia. I am just... just... |
| 21497 Oh, well then by all means, do point it out to me when you see it next. I would love to hear your interpretation. |
| 21498 Enough! I see it well enough in you, drow! Begone! |
| 21499 I have been thinking, ranger... and I have decided that I do feel sorry for you. |
| 21500 Hmph! And why is that, Viconia? |
| 21501 Your family. Once so wealthy and so powerful. To be left with only a lowly male as its last member. How truly sad that is. |
| 21502 My family was cursed during its existence. If I am the last of the Corthalas, it will be a well and good thing. |
| 21503 Have you no desire to produce more of your kind? Perhaps you have been rebuffed in your attempts, or perhaps your desires lie elsewhere, hmm? |
| 21504 There is nothing that I would tell you, drow, no matter your comments. |
| 21505 Ah, yes. A sad, sad, thing. To be a lowly male and to retreat from the pleasures of the female flesh. |
| 21506 I like women well enough, Viconia! Leave me be! |
| 21507 Of course, Valygar, of course. I shall leave you to your sad suffering. |
| 21508 Er, yes, I accept your welcome. |
| 21509 This is the entrance to the hold that I offer you access to. Oh, I am sorry; I have moved ahead of myself. I should outline what I intend. |
| 21510 You are employed, of course, and do errands occasionally. No doubt you have questioned the intent of your employer on occasion? If you haven't, then you should. |
| 21511 You work for the Shadow Thieves on the pretense they will help locate your missing companion, Imoen. Yes, they are Shadow Thieves, and yes, they are as nefarious as you've probably heard. |
| 21512 I would offer an alternative. I would help you find your friend for... oh... 15,000 gold? It is a sizable amount less than the Shadow Thieves have asked for and, coincidentally, it is what you have now. |
| 21513 How do you know of my involvement with the Shadow Thieves, or even that they are Shadow Thieves? |
| 21514 You know an awful lot about me. Where have you learned all of this? |
| 21515 It sounds like you've been spying on me. Why should I trust you? |
| 21516 I am curious. How much experience have you had with magic? |
| 21517 I am a mage, Valygar. My experience with magic is quite thorough, I assure you. Why do you ask? |
| 21518 As a cleric I gain my magic through the worship of my god. Why do you ask? |
| 21519 I have had considerable encounters with magic throughout my travels, Valygar, if that's what you mean. |
| 21520 This is no time for chatter, Valygar. |
| 21521 You are a mage? I suppose I should have expected that. My life appears to be entwined with foul sorcery, and there seems to be no escaping it. |
| 21522 What do you mean? |
| 21523 I don't consider my magic to be foul, Valygar. |
| 21524 If I were you, I would not use the word "foul" in reference to my magic. |
| 21525 I suppose that's not quite the same as sorcery, but it's still magic. Sometimes I think my life to be so caught up in foul magic there is no escape. |
| 21526 Why do you say that? |
| 21527 I don't think magic is foul when it comes from your god. |
| 21528 I would be careful, if I were you, about calling my magic "foul." |
| 21529 So you too are drawn into its wake? Sometimes I believe that my life is so caught up with magic that there will never be an escape from its foul presence. |
| 21530 What do you mean? |
| 21531 I don't think magic is foul, Valygar. |
| 21532 I know exactly what you mean. Fortunately, magic has its uses and can at least be tolerated. |
| 21533 Of course, <CHARNAME>. I apologize. |
| 21534 I told you of Lavok: His influence did not end with his disappearance. Like a curse, my family has been afflicted with magic, and it has brought us only ill. |
| 21535 Do you mean there have been many within your family who have been magic-users? |
| 21536 Why do you consider that a curse? |
| 21537 Ah, I see. Magic can have its dark side, I suppose. |
| 21538 I have heard it said that magic is only as poor as its user, but I do not believe. My family had a long and intimate dance with magic: It brought only grief. |
| 21539 What do you mean by that? |
| 21540 Grief? Surely magic can be beneficial as well. |
| 21541 You think what has been true for your family is true for all magic? |
| 21542 Enough, Valygar. This is no time for talk. |
| 21543 Enough, Valygar. This is no time for talk. |
| 21544 That is simply how I feel. You may be a good person, but your magic will twist you in the end. But perhaps I should keep my opinions to myself. I apologize. |
| 21545 I suppose I would know little about that. I worship no god and take no comfort from knowing of their existence. |
| 21546 You don't? Why is that? |
| 21547 Perhaps if your family had been more pious and given the gods their due, you would not be having the problems you are. |
| 21548 Then you are a heathen. |
| 21549 I don't think magic is foul if it's put to good use. |
| 21550 Sometimes I think Faerûn would be a far better place without it. It spawns as much danger as it cures... everything would be better done by hand, or not at all. |
| 21551 Surely you agree that magic is also responsible for great beauty and wondrous miracles? |
| 21552 I think Faerûn would be a dull and boring place without magic, Valygar. What would one do for adventure? |
| 21553 I agree with you. Magic is a terrible thing. |
| 21554 Enough talk, Valygar. |
| 21555 The talent seems to run rampant. My mother was a wizard, as was my grandfather and many other relatives beyond that. All of them came to a bitter end. |
| 21556 Perhaps it is fortunate that I am the last of my line. It might be fitting that the family and the fortune that paved the path both end with Lavok's death. |
| 21557 You would not consider retiring from the Life and having children? |
| 21558 That's terrible... all of your family is gone? |
| 21559 That is a difficult attitude to live with. |
| 21560 Enough talk, Valygar. Let us continue on. |
| 21561 It is a curse because magic twists the soul. Once you begin, you put aside concerns of life. There is never enough books, scrolls, or time to study spells. |
| 21562 Soon one can challenge the boundaries of life and death. The unnatural becomes commonplace, and before you realize, you are on a path that only leads to ruin. |
| 21563 I have seen every facet of magic's dark side with my mother before... before she died. Try as I might, I cannot twist and turn it enough to find its light side. |
| 21564 Enough talk of magic, however. I am sorry to have brought the topic up. We should be going. |
| 21566 Every Corthalaâ€â€adventurer, sage, necromancerâ€â€all would have been better served staying home to take care of their family and live natural lives. |
| 21567 I think, from that breadth of experience, that gives me plenty of ground to cast my eye on magic as a whole. |
| 21568 The gods have never impacted my life in any form. I devote myself to defending natural from unnatural, and that grants more peace than any god, I think. |
| 21569 But enough talk. We should be going. |
| 21570 Perhaps you are right, <CHARNAME>. No god ever expressed the interest, however, and I sometimes wonder which was responsible for our curse. |
| 21571 Enough, let's get going. |
| 21572 A heathen? If only there were a god who would have saved my family from itselfâ€â€I would kneel down and thank him. Until that day, I prefer to rely on myself. |
| 21573 I... I suppose so. You have traveled more than I. Perhaps if I see these miracles, I would be more easily convinced. I shall have to think on that. |
| 21574 I think you have an odd idea of adventure, my friend. Perhaps magic holds such a station in your life; I simply wish it did not hold that station in mine. |
| 21575 Indeed. It's good to know I'm traveling with someone in possession of some common sense. |
| 21576 And know that my own children would be likely afflicted? Aside from that, who would have me? Magic is frowned on here, and too many know of my heritage. |
| 21577 But... perhaps, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps I would consider it. Somewhere else, who knows? |
| 21578 They either killed each other in their pursuits or have been... dealt with. It was not a large family anyway... few sorcerers see the need for a family life. |
| 21579 And those that do are rarely happy with it. No, no... it is very likely best that I am the last of us. A sad thing, but true enough. |
| 21580 Yes. Yes, it is. I... never mind. Let us be going. |
| 21581 Tell me... what kind of family did you have? |
| 21582 I was raised by Gorion in Candlekeep. He's the only father I've known. |
| 21583 My family is... best not discussed. |
| 21584 Why do you ask? |
| 21585 This is no time to talk, Valygar. |
| 21586 I see. He is a good man, then? |
| 21587 A very good man. He died, though... killed by Sarevok while protecting me many months ago. |
| 21588 I'd rather not discuss him, Valygar. |
| 21589 Let's just keep moving, shall we? |
| 21590 Hm. I know what you mean. Being a Corthala is nothing that I would want to shout from the mountaintops either. |
| 21591 Why is that? Does it have to do with Lavok? |
| 21592 It's not quite the same thing. I am one of the children of Bhaal. |
| 21593 My situation isn't quite like yours. But I'd rather not discuss it. |
| 21594 Indeed. Let's keep moving. |
| 21595 Family reveals much. Mine was plagued by our legacy; we have nearly destroyed ourselves. Others are not so extreme, and I am always curious enough to wonder. |
| 21596 I was raised by Gorion, in Candlekeep. He is the only father I have known. |
| 21597 My lineage is... best not discussed, actually. |
| 21598 You were not part of the happiest of families, I take it. |
| 21599 Enough talk, Valygar. Let us move on. |
| 21600 Very well. |
| 21601 Ah, he's dead, then? My condolences. 'Tis hard to be without your father. |
| 21602 Yes, I miss him quite a lot. |
| 21603 I've managed to do well enough on my own. |
| 21604 What about your father? What happened to him? |
| 21605 Let's just keep going, Valygar. |
| 21606 Of course. I didn't mean anything by it. |
| 21607 Not exactly. My family was afflicted by magical ability for many generations, and it brought us no good. Lavok's wealth was spent in the pursuit of it, I fear. |
| 21608 But enough talk. Let us keep going. |
| 21609 You are... the child of a god? How is that possible? |
| 21610 I don't know, just yet. But it's true. |
| 21611 I miss my father too, though he was taken from me years before his actual death. He was versed in the ways of the wilderness and gifted with a merry laugh. |
| 21612 He showed me the ways of the forest and tried to woo my mother away from her magical studies, but she ignored both of us more and more as her obsession grew. |
| 21613 My father grew ill, and my mother realized too late what she had missed. Her magical efforts to sustain him made him undead, a vile mimic of what my father was. |
| 21614 She grew obsessed with him, and with her own power, eventually joining him in his unliving existence. I was forced to slay them both to put them at rest. |
| 21615 But I must sound like a mewling child. Enough, <CHARNAME>... let us continue on our travels. |
| 21616 I've said as much many times since my family was lost to me. Sometimes I wonder if I truly mean it. |
| 21617 A child of the dead god of murder. No offense, but that makes my own troubles seem trite in comparison. I understand a little of what you are about now. |
| 21618 May I ask you for your opinion on something? |
| 21619 If you wish. |
| 21620 We haven't time for this, Valygar. |
| 21621 What is your opinion on redemption? Can one who has committed evil acts ever become good again? |
| 21622 I take it you're referring to Lavok? |
| 21623 Yes, I think so. If we weren't given the chance to redeem ourselves by performing acts of kindness, what would be the point to living? |
| 21624 No, I don't think so. You must always be careful not to stain your soul with sin, in my thinking, or you will be forever damned. |
| 21625 Perhaps, Valygar. It depends on the person. And the deeds. |
| 21626 I truly don't know. That's a question better suited to a philosopher, which I am not. |
| 21627 I suppose you're right. |
| 21628 I have thought of his death much, and it raises a question for me. I had thought that evil... true evil... was absolute. Now I am unsure if such a thing exists. |
| 21629 I think that we all have the opportunity to redeem our actions. We are judged according to what we do. |
| 21630 It does exist. Evil is evil, and it must be punished. |
| 21631 It may. I think it depends on the person... and the deeds. |
| 21632 I don't know, Valygar. Your question is one more suited for a philosopher, which I am not. |
| 21633 I haven't time for this. Let's just keep moving. |
| 21634 That seems very optimistic of you, <CHARNAME>. I wonder if that is truly so. |
| 21635 That is, more or less, how I used to feel. It troubles my mind, though... and the more I see, the less I think it is true. |
| 21636 I suppose you are correct. If only life were full of more certainties... I would have less trouble. |
| 21637 *sigh* I suppose so. Perhaps it is silly for me to muse on it so. Let us continue our travels, then. |

| 21667 Don't push me. I don't recognize you, and that means I don't like you. |
| 21668 I don't care if Renal wants business with you. You smell rotten to me. |
| 21669 Get and talk to Renal... he's the only one around here who wants anything to do with you. |
| 21670 Nothing can withstand the wrath of the Shadow Thieves... just mind that. |
| 21671 Normally those who know where we are die quickly. |
| 21672 Step away, <BROTHERSISTER>, I don't want to have to get lethal here... |
| 21673 Aha... do come in, come in. Take a look around, if you wish. I am Gorch, the humble proprietor of this modest establishment. |
| 21674 What is it that you sell? |
| 21675 Let me see what you have available. |
| 21676 What is beyond that door at the back? |
| 21677 I am not here to buy anything. I am here to see Mae'Var. |
| 21678 Never mind, I'm on my way out. |
| 21679 I sell many things... things sold to me by those in need. From trinkets to heirlooms, Gorch has everything of taste and necessity that you may desire. |
| 21680 I see. Let me see what you have available, then. |
| 21681 Tell me what is beyond that door at the back? |
| 21682 I am not here to buy anything. I wish to see Mae'Var. |
| 21683 Never mind, I'm on my way out. |
| 21684 Naturally, Gorch is here to please. Might you be interested in this elegant hat? Quite the fashion in Waterdeep... No? Well, by all means, look about. |
| 21685 Oh? That door? Just the entry to my own humble abode. Let me show you a fine piece of Sembian jewelry, imparted to me by an unfortunate merchant. |
| 21686 Very well, show me what you have. |
| 21687 I'm not here to buy anything. I'm here to see Mae'Var. |
| 21688 Excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 21689 Ah... why did you not simply say so earlier? You have something written for me, yes, hm? |
| 21690 Hm... um-hmmn... yes. Everything appears to be in order. You can see Mae'Var... through the door in the back. So nice to meet you, my good friend. |
| 21691 Are you sure you do not wish to see this lovely Calimshan necklace? It was sold to me by a woman of the finest figure. No? As you wish. |
| 21692 You! You are a fool to have returned here! Leave this place while you still possess the ability to do so! |
| 21693 Ach, what is it? Is there a fire? What's the trouble? |
| 21694 Who are you? |
| 21695 I'm looking for Mae'Var. |
| 21696 No trouble. I'll leave you alone. |
| 21697 Me? Name's Gorvin. I don't suppose you have a bottle o' rotgut stored away in there somewhere, do you? Ahhh, I suppose not. Who are you, anyway? |
| 21698 I'm <CHARNAME>. I was transferred here. |
| 21699 Never mind who I am. |
| 21700 I have to go. Excuse me. |
| 21701 Well, he's gone down to the cellar, he has. Workin' on poor old Lin, he is. Mighty shame, that. Hmm. Gotta be a bottle 'round here somewheres. |
| 21702 May I ask who you are? |
| 21703 Thanks, I'll be on my way. |
| 21704 Well, I didn't miss ya before you talked to me, did I? Or did I? Terrible thing, losin' your memory. My medicine's gotta be here... I just had it, I'm sure... |
| 21705 Transferred, eh? Well, that was bloody quick, Lin not even bein' cold or nothin'. Ah well, good t' meet ya, <CHARNAME>. |
| 21706 Could you tell me where Mae'Var is? |
| 21707 Yes, well, I'll be on my way. |
| 21708 Well, fine, be that way then. I ain't never cried no tears just 'cause someone wouldn't tell me their bloody name. What exactly do ya want, then? |
| 21709 Where can I find Mae'Var? |
| 21710 Nothing. I'll be on my way. |
| 21711 Name's Gorvin. Pleased to meet ya, I suppose. Don't s'pose you'd have a bit o' rotgut on ya, no? Ahhh, that's a bloody shame. Now, where's me coin bag gone...? |
| 21712 I spent five silver on this here bottle, and the bloody thing's half washed with water? Crime, I tell ya! It's going t' bring this country t' ruin! |
| 21713 Ach, ya wouldn't know a cure for a spot o' rheumy, now, would ya? |
| 21714 I swear, one day 'at Mae'Var's going to put me on his bleedin' rack. I just knows it. |
| 21715 Ya did a fine job on 'at there church job, kiddo. Never did care none for the bleedin' priests, 'cept maybe Father Delorin. Now that fella knew how to drink ya under the table, he did. |
| 21716 I can't believe Embarl up and did that. It just ain't good business. What are the bleedin' Shadow Thieves coming to these days? |
| 21717 I don't recognize you. What do you want? |
| 21718 I'm looking for Mae'Var, actually. |
| 21719 Who are you? |
| 21720 Nothing. I'll be on my way. |
| 21721 He's downstairs, doing what he loves best, of course. Heh... it's what he always does to unnerve newcomers. You'll be expected to go down there and speak to him while he does it, naturally. |
| 21722 I see. And who are you? |
| 21723 Thanks, I'll be on my way. |
| 21724 I'm Zyntris. And let's just get this straight now, so there's no mistaking it later, all right? I'm the senior cutpurse. Me... not nobody else. Try to slide in on me, and I'll stick ya. Got it? |
| 21725 Er... sure. Can you tell me where I might find Mae'Var? |
| 21726 Are you trying to threaten me? |
| 21727 Fine, fine. I'll leave you alone. |
| 21728 Run down the road on fire for all I care. |
| 21729 Er... no, no. Of course not. Just tryin' to inform ya of the ranks, is all. |
| 21730 Are you trying to threaten me? |
| 21731 I'll do more than that if ya gets a big head on me, got it? I ain't foolin' here. |
| 21732 I'm Zyntris. Just so you're aware, I'm the senior cutpurse around here, right? Get too big for yer britches, and I stick ya... got it? |
| 21733 Yeah, I just unloaded a major deal from some noble the other day. Easiest job I ever did, I tell ya. |
| 21734 I hear Renal's been breathin' down Mae'Var's back. Don't know what the big deal is. I could take that Renal any day. |
| 21735 That Edwin's so full of himself. I should show him who's boss, ya know? |
| 21736 You did that church job, right? Aaah, easy one, that. I coulda done it in a snap. |
| 21737 I hear ya killed a Cowled Wizard. Yeah, I killed a few of 'em in my time, too. *sniff* |
| 21738 Why, hello there. Mmm, if it isn't a new face? How very thrilling. |
| 21739 Who are you? |
| 21740 I need to find Mae'Var. Where is he? |
| 21741 Excuse me, I have to be going. |
| 21742 Who are you? |
| 21743 Well, the real question here is what is your name, darling? I could tell you that my name is Anishai, but that would prevent me from hearing the delectable tones of your name first. |
| 21744 My name is <CHARNAME>... pleased to meet you. |
| 21745 My name is my own business. |
| 21746 Never mind, I'll be on my way. |
| 21747 I am called Anishai, my dear. Assassin extraordinaire and Shadow Thief of good standing. You, however, are quite a stranger to me. New, are you? How delightful! What shall I call you? |
| 21748 You can call me by my name: <CHARNAME>. |
| 21749 What I'm called is my own business. |
| 21750 Never mind, I'll be on my way. |
| 21751 Well, just go down those stairs over there, and you'll find Mae'Var engaged in the business of information extraction. Forcible extraction, that is. |
| 21752 Who are you again? |
| 21753 Who are you again? |
| 21754 Er... thanks. I'll be on my way. |
| 21755 Already? How sad. |
| 21756 <CHARNAME>... how utterly delicious. I shall recite it over and over to myself in between each of our meetings. Which, I do hope, will not be too far between, hm? |
| 21757 Uh... could you direct me to Mae'Var? |
| 21758 I must be going now. |
| 21759 Oooh, I love a man shrouded in mystery. As you wish, my sweet, I shall simply imagine a number of things to call you, each more succulent than the last. |
| 21760 Er... could you direct me to Mae'Var, perhaps? |
| 21761 I'll be leaving now. |
| 21762 Well, I am very pleased to meet you, <CHARNAME>. There truly aren't enough fellow sisters in the Shadow Thieves... although we are amongst the very best, aren't we? |
| 21763 I'd like to know where Mae'Var is, please. |
| 21764 Yes, well, I'll be going. |
| 21765 As you wish. Never let it be said that Anishai pries where she is not wanted. Life is so much longer that way, I find. |
| 21766 Where will I find Mae'Var? |
| 21767 I'll be leaving now. |
| 21768 Mae'Var says that you are to be our newest member. How delightful to see a new face for one... Lin's did tire me so dreadfully. I am Anishai, and I am most pleased to meet you. |
| 21769 We meet again? Oh, this is too precious. |
| 21770 I truly believe that Mae'Var has become a bit too big for himself. How very sad... I suppose it is only a matter of time now. |
| 21771 The few missions that Mae'Var has sent me on of late have been so dreadfully boring, alas. |
| 21772 You collected that thing from the church, did you? I am sure Mae'Var is quite pleased. Zyntris has attempted to get it twice now. |
| 21773 Embarl was a fool, and an ugly and tiresome one at that. Ah well, one gets what one deserves, yes? |
| 21774 I don't know why Mae'Var has that bloody wizard about. Thinks he's right better than everyone else, he does! |
| 21775 I wouldn't be crossing Edwin, if I were ye... I've heard some pretty nasty things about him since he arrived from the north. |
| 21776 Everyone has been pretty nervous here... I think Mae'Var's gone mad, he has. |
| 21777 Ye're new, are ye? Here I thought I be knowing all the Shadow Thieves in the city. |
| 21778 Do not test me, rogue. I have not the patience for it. |
| 21779 What in bloody blazes are ye lookin' at, half-elf? |
| 21780 Well, ye sure don't look like a bloody thief. |
| 21781 That is because I am not a thief! I... I am here merely to assist <CHARNAME>. |
| 21782 Move along, will you? |
| 21783 Ye can do as ye likes here, but don't get into trouble. |
| 21784 Sorry, I'm not here to chat you up. |
| 21785 If you have anythin' to say, I suggest you says it to Mae'Var. |
| 21786 I wish to know more. How does one serve your "Unseeing Eye"? |
| 21787 Who is this "Unseeing Eye" of yours? |
| 21788 I'll go where I like, priest. |
| 21789 The One God has demanded that his disciples achieve a higher state of wisdom... you must remove that which is limiting and offensive. |
| 21790 The unholy eyes are removed from your head during the sacred initiation. If you survive and are proven faithful, the Unseeing Eye accepts you into service. |
| 21791 And if you don't survive? |
| 21792 What if I'm not interested in having my eyes removed? |
| 21793 You blind your devoted on purpose?! That is horrid! |
| 21794 The Unseeing Eye has brought us enlightenment. Only by removing our eyes can we remove the veil of lies and deceit clouding our lives. |
| 21795 He is the most ancient and wise of the race you might know as "beholders." We servants have flocked to him gladly, and his mighty power protects us. You would be wise to serve him as we do. |
| 21796 Just how does one become a servant of this Unseeing Eye, anyway? |
| 21797 You serve a beholder with no eye? Can a beholder have power with no eye? |
| 21798 I have no interest in becoming a servant of anyone. |
| 21799 You dare?! Suffer the wrath of the almighty then, fool! |
| 21800 Sadly, there are those who lack the stamina to serve the One God... their lack of faith betrays them. The bodies of these unfortunates are offered to the Pit of the Faithless. |
| 21801 I would like to learn more... but what if I'm not interested in having my eyes removed? |
| 21802 Tell me about this "Unseeing Eye" of yours, then. Who is he? |
| 21803 So you kill them?! Outrageous! I shall end this worship of yours myself! |
| 21804 Hmm. It is a sign of weakness to refuse the enlightenment. Would you walk about willingly without arms, without feet? I do not think so. |
| 21805 There is... something that you could do that the great one cannot, despite his vast power. Assist in that, and I will admit you into our ranks and into the Unseeing One's presence, yes? |
| 21806 Tell me what it is, and I'll consider it. |
| 21807 No thanks. I've no interest in doing anything for this Unseeing Eye. |
| 21808 Without his eyes, the One God is stronger, not weaker. He has made mountains tremble and easily destroyed those fools who have come seeking his destruction. Only those who serve him are safe always. |
| 21809 All right... so how does one become a servant? |
| 21810 Well, I have no interest in serving a beholder in any capacity. |
| 21811 The Adventurer Mart store is restocked with new equipment once during the game. Be sure to return to it in the later stages. |
| 21812 Sweet deal, but what do you gain? I am no fool! What is it you will take from me? |
| 21813 Death Wail |
| 21814 I know a great deal about you and this place, <CHARNAME>. You are a relative newcomer and have much to learn. Certainly you have had your doubts about those "helping" you? |
| 21815 If you question me, why do you trust your current employers? Are you certain they are more deserving? Regardless, I still offer more advantages than they. |
| 21816 These holy grounds are part of a larger ancient structure... dangerous if one ventures into the lower levels. The Unseeing Eye knows of a valuable item in this area. |
| 21817 By offering you such a deal at this price, you mean? I stand to gain by what the Shadow Thieves have lost. I am not about to do this out of the good of my heart. |
| 21818 You will be unable to turn down my offer, even if I demand a few... gestures to prove your loyalty. There is a monopoly in this town, and I intend to break it. |
| 21819 If you were to venture below, you could prove your worth by retrieving this artifact for him. Do this, and I will allow you into our ranks and the One's divine presence. |
| 21820 I say yes. I never liked serving those fools anyway. I will enjoy their destruction. |
| 21821 What is this item you speak of... and where would I locate it? |
| 21822 You have... changed your mind, faithless one? Have you decided to enter the holy fold of the Unseeing Eye? |
| 21823 How would I get to these lower levels? |
| 21824 Very well, I shall do as you suggest. |
| 21825 The item is a rod... or part of a rod, rather, that you will find atop a holy altar. I cannot tell you more than that. You must let your faith guide you. |
| 21826 And how would I get to these lower levels? |
| 21827 Very well, I shall do as you suggest. |
| 21828 No, I refuse to do this. |
| 21829 No, I refuse to do this. |
| 21830 I would rather end your worthless life, priest! |
| 21831 Support me, and you will revel in the destruction of the largest criminal organization south of Waterdeep, though the big bad thieves have been rather soft of late. |
| 21832 And you will help me find Imoen for 15,000? I still wonder why you would do this. |
| 21833 Pitch |
| 21834 You do not present yourself as a safe risk. I do not believe you. |
| 21835 I'm sure the Shadow Thieves would offer more if I removed their competition. |
| 21836 Mage Spells |
| 21837 I have a key I can give you... This will allow you entrance to the inner chambers through a door a short distance back the way you came, at the sewer passages. |
| 21838 What if I don't trust either group? They may well be thieves, but you are very, very creepy. |
| 21839 I will ask you to weaken the "resources" of the Shadow Thieves. I am not so vain as to think them easily destroyed, but many of their members will join with me. |
| 21840 What is this item you speak of... and where would I locate it? |
| 21841 You are within their structure, so you are valuable. I could stage open aggression, but that would spill much blood, and I always hate when that happens. |
| 21842 No, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, we are not. Or perhaps it is more correct to say that we are worshippers no longer. What brings you to this place? |
| 21843 Very well, I shall do as you suggest. |
| 21844 No, I refuse to do this. |
| 21845 Neb's Lair |
| 21846 Somewhat. You are certainly braver than the cattle inside. You leave the safety of the palisade with a confident stride and a dangerous look about you. Those fools within are frightened of their own shadows. |
| 21847 You are worthy in my eyes, faithful one. Here is the key. Once you have the rod, bring it to me and together we shall present it to the Unseeing Eye. |
| 21848 The only other way into the fold is the initiation. Come, I shall relieve you of your unholy orbs as the first test of your new faith. |
| 21849 Uhhhh... okay... |
| 21850 I don't think I want to do that. Let me... ah... think about it. |
| 21851 How about I destroy you and your cult instead? |
| 21852 Excellent! You have the honor, then, of having your vile orbs ripped from your head by the high priest of the One God! Hold still... |
| 21853 I would like to learn more of this "Unseeing Eye" first. |
| 21854 How does one enter your god's service? |
| 21855 Is there some way I can see this Unseeing Eye without losing my eyes? |
| 21856 No, I haven't. |
| 21857 No... but I have decided to end your worthless life! |
| 21858 Ah, I see that you have returned! Surely the One God has smiled upon us all this day! Do you have the rod? |
| 21859 Yes, I do. |
| 21860 No, I don't have it just yet. |
| 21861 Providence has smiled upon me! You worthless cretins... the One God would never accept your presence with those unholy orbs still in your heads! |
| 21862 I, however, shall gain his favor by presenting him with the rod! Prepare to die, fools! |
| 21863 I can afford to be generous, but don't think this is without risk. You do not oppose the largest thieves' guild in the southern realms and expect to walk away. |
| 21864 Then I suggest you return to your task until it is complete. Without the artifact, you are sighted and will never be worthy of joining the One's presence. |
| 21865 There is no such thing as "safe risk." Are your tasks for the thieves full of "safe risk"? I doubt it very much so. I offer an alternative risk, nothing more. |
| 21866 Perhaps they would, but they are not here. I am not without my defenses. I would not ask you here if I thought you were a threat. |
| 21867 It does not matter if you do not trust either of us; you must, for the time being, deal with one or the other. Perhaps it is unseemly, but try to think long term. |
| 21868 Such confidence is admirable. Very well, this place is now open to you. It is a safe haven, and below there are friends of mine that will tend to your trading needs. |
| 21869 Now is the time for deciding. I cannot wait too long, and I tire of talking. Choose your allegiance. The masters you serve or the mistress that will let you destroy them. |
| 21870 I will side with you, mistress, and may the gods have mercy on our enemies. |
| 21871 I do not trust you, but I will take your offer. It is too good to decline. |
| 21872 I do not trust you or the others, but they are the devil I know. I must decline. |
| 21873 You are a deceitful creature, in league with my enemy. I refuse your offer. |
| 21874 That is... unfortunate. Very well, you may go. |
| 21875 You have made an enemy here today, and I will face you on my own terms when the inevitable time comes. |
| 21876 Mmph, be wary, my friends. Someone has come before us; I can sense it! |
| 21877 More of you with no eyes! Are you followers of the Unseeing Eye, then? |
| 21878 Do not excite yourselves. I am here to retrieve this rod for your god. |
| 21879 More cultists? I'll end your existence here and now! |
| 21880 First, tell me what you mean when you say you are no longer worshippers? |
| 21881 The church has bid me investigate the cult, but I also seek a rod from below. |
| 21882 What I am about here is my business. |
| 21883 No! You must not do this! You cannot give the rod to the beholder, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! It is an artifact of immense power! |
| 21884 I wish a campaign of disruption, and you will begin it. There is a shipment of supplies arriving by boat. You are to... confiscate it. |
| 21885 But your eyes are gone. Why do you say this if you are servants of the cult? |
| 21886 Why not? What do you know about this rod? |
| 21887 I'll do as I like, fools. Leave me be. |
| 21888 Wait! Stay your sword! We are no longer followers of the Unseeing Eye! We beg your mercy, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! |
| 21889 Do you wish me to cajole the thieves out of it, or is this mission one of brute force? |
| 21890 That's a pretty mundane task. Why would you need me for something so simple? |
| 21891 Such a thing will expose me as an enemy to the Shadow Thieves. |
| 21892 Kill Roger's sea troll I encountered a fence in the sewers by the name of Roger and dispatched a Sea Troll that was causing him problems. |
| 21893 What are you doing here if you are no longer members of the beholder cult? |
| 21894 I'll not harm you then, so long as you are not followers of that cult. |
| 21895 Oh, I doubt very much you will be able to infiltrate them quietly. The Shadow Thieves probably already know of your treachery. |
| 21896 I don't believe you! Prepare to die! |
| 21897 My name is Sassar. I was once the One God's high priest. When I discovered the true depth of his evil, I escaped and met up with others who had left the cult. |
| 21898 We haven't the patience for your silly questions, girl. We've just been shipwrecked. Tell us about this village. We understood the village to be uninhabited. |
| 21899 I am not unknown to them, I am just... elusive. No, I think you will find that you will be unwelcome. Actually, you will more likely be attacked on sight. |
| 21900 We tried to stop the beholder, but we have lost the senses he gifted to us for taking our eyes. We are truly blind, stumbling in our efforts to stop this evil! |
| 21901 I do not like to waste blood, though I may bid others to do it. I think you will find your assault intensely violent. Likely they already know your treachery. |
| 21902 I am here for the same purpose, though I must retrieve a rod from below first. |
| 21903 Just how were you planning on stopping the beholder? |
| 21904 That's very nice, but I have business to attend to. |
| 21905 But how am I to be of use if I am revealed as an enemy? |
| 21906 What?! I thought this was to be a secret endeavor. |
| 21907 There will be other things for you to do in time. These little chores are only the preliminary. I will speak of others later. |
| 21908 As you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. There is little we could do to stop you. I pray your task is not to retrieve the rod from below only to give it to the beholder! |
| 21909 Secret from the guards, perhaps, but the Shadow Thieves miss very little, especially among their own. This assault will be basic, and not all that secretive. |
| 21910 And if I were here to do just that? |
| 21911 I may get the rod, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give it to the beholder. |
| 21912 I leave you. When you have done as I have asked, you shall find me in the complex below. Simply enter through this door. Until then, farewell and good fortune. |
| 21913 Out of my way. As I said, I'll do as I wish. |
| 21914 You! How dare you! We were doin' good business in this town before you took out my partner, Lehtinan at the Copper Coronet! Why are you out to ruin me? |
| 21915 You have arrived. That is fortunate. I was about to discipline Valen. Eh, perhaps I will anyway; it shows that I care. Now then, let's have a look at you. Oh dear, not good at all. |
| 21916 When I was the high priest for the Unseeing Eye, I discovered that its purpose for coming here was to gain the powerful artifact below. |
| 21917 Quiet, you slaver scum! You brought ruin upon yourself. |
| 21918 It is protected against intrusion by powerful magic and beasts that live in the caverns. Many of the beholder's followers have perished trying to retrieve it. |
| 21919 These dregs could nary be called persons! This is no different than trading in cattle! Speakin' of which, it's about time you were butchered! |
| 21920 Valen said something about a business opportunity? |
| 21921 What would you have of me in this place? |
| 21922 I care not for your personal critique. Make your offer and make it quick. |
| 21923 Reasons don't matter to the dead. |
| 21924 I know, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, that the beholder has the other half of the rod! If he were to acquire this half, he would be capable of wreaking terrible destruction! |
| 21925 You're finished, slaver! Turn yourself in to the authorities. |
| 21926 Yes, I was to offer a... relationship... to oppose your current employers, but I do not think it will be available to you after all... |
| 21927 We'll see about that, won't we? At 'em, lads! |
| 21928 There may be no honor among thieves, but I cannot trust you to abandon your thief brethren on the strength of a cliché. I apologize for the distraction. You may go. |
| 21929 We are but blind men now, and can do nothing to stop you. |
| 21930 Turn myself in to spend the next few years in a dungeon? I'm not going to rot in prison over some worthless dregs, and you won't be the one to take me in if I do! At 'em, boys! |
| 21931 I was to offer an opportunity for betrayal, but now that I have seen you for myself, I do not think I will be wishing your service after all. |
| 21932 If this is true, then the cult must be destroyed. I shall not retrieve the rod. |
| 21933 Perhaps it is fortunate I have already decided not to trust you; such insolence would grow tiresome. No, you are too much like them to be of use to me. |
| 21934 What have you done here if you can't stop the beholder from trying to get the rod? |
| 21935 Who in the Nine Hells are you? Why have you barged in here with drawn weapons and attacked my men? If you want to be buying some slaves from me, you're going about it the wrong way. |

| 21943 The only way that you'll leave this place is in a coffin. At 'em, boys! |
| 21944 By the gods! Haven't we paid off enough of the council to not have you idiot Amnian soldiers barge in here every time you feel like filling your arrest quotas? |
| 21945 Hold! You're not soldiers of Amn... This changes things. Destroy these fools, men! Captain Haegan shall give a pearl to the one who makes the first kill! |

| 21953 Bracers of Binding |
| 21954 The bracers appear to be Bracers of Specialization, but when donned they bind the wearer's wrists together, making it quite difficult to wield a weapon or cast a spell. These bracers are sometimes offered as rewards for services rendered by the drow. The recipient, believing them to be very powerful, will often don them before examining them. At this point, the drow find it amusing to conjure a hook horror.

| 21956 Bala's Axe, Wizard Slayer |
| 21957 Bala was a foul-tempered prince of a gully dwarf clan, which was enslaved by a cruel elven mage in Thesk. Though Bala managed to escape the more cowardly traits of his race, he was even more filthy and obnoxious than the average gully dwarf. Sickened of his enslavement, Bala crept into the mage's lair and cracked the elf's skull open. Although rumor has it that it was the dwarf's stench that overcame the mage, it was, in fact, his enchanted axe that dispelled the elf's magical defenses. It is obvious from the poor workmanship that Bala himself crafted the axe. The mystery lies in where its power originates. After a lengthy career of mage-slaying, Bala died, never having revealed his secret to those who were willing to risk a lice infestation by approaching him. Some say that the axe was powered by Bala's intense hatred of wizards. The axe gives the owner the ability to dispel magic once a day.

| 22011 Scratched deep into the side of this cursed goblet are the words "Taste My Fear." It is said that one can regain lost health from the dark blood that lurks within its pewter depths. This comes with a price, however, as all who drink of the blood become cursed with the fear it brings. This effect will last up to 12 hours or until dispelled.

The elven craftsmen rarely sell them to other races, but these powerful melee weapons do surface occasionally in Faerûn. However, each attack made with the staff uses a charge, causing it to consume itself when no charges remain.

| 22025 When will you help me find Imoen? I have already paid the necessary coin! |
| 22026 This weapon appears to be a normal large walking staff, but it has a faint aura of alteration magic.

| 22046 You have arrived, but all is not well. Your employers ask you to collect 20,000 gold; I will deal for 15,000, so return when you have your spending under control. |
| 22047 I see. It would seem you have enjoyed turning the tables on your former employers. You have given them a bruise, though it will not cripple them. |
| 22048 This attack will have alarmed the guild, such that they fortify certain places. That draw of manpower will weaken others. Overall, my position is stronger. |
| 22049 Now I ask for more specific tasks that will disrupt the guild further. I give you a choice: I have two tasks, and each will require a different kind of person. |
| 22050 Choose; they cannot both be done. One is... unseemly, so if you claim to be "good," you should choose the second, a sickly hero's task. Which do you prefer? |
| 22051 I do not wish to dirty my hands more than they are. The hero's task is my choice. |
| 22052 I am not above a little skulduggery. I will do the unseemly task. |
| 22053 Very well. It calls for the murder of a man. Not a truly innocent man, but hardly a villain of epic scope. You must kill, blaming the murder on the Shadow Thieves. |
| 22054 He is head of a merchant house, and his link to Shadow Thieves is blatant. If he were to die and certain gear were at the scene, it would implicate the guild we oppose. |
| 22055 Take this cloak and dagger, and go kill Senior Armagaran Vulova. When he is dead, put the cloak and dagger in the fountain in his house. |
| 22056 He will die easily, though there may be guards. His small house is in the Government District, between the jail and the government building. Go. |
| 22057 Very well. He will not outlive the night. |
| 22058 This is a bit harsher than I thought. Could I not just rough him up? |
| 22059 Murder is not what I was expecting. |
| 22060 I should hope not. Return here when you are done. I will be waiting. |
| 22061 Lost one point of Intelligence |
| 22062 And make your next visit earlier. I do not enjoy the sunlight. I have... very delicate skin. |
| 22063 Then send flowers and wish him well. What were you expecting? They are thieves and assassins; we must be uncompromising. Do you wish to do the deed or not? |

| 22104 The Shadow Thieves have other enemies besides me. Recently, they uncovered a traitor, and have been questioning him quite ruthlessly for some days now. |
| 22105 You will rescue him. He will be killed once they are through, so go quickly. They have him at the Shadow Thief guild house on the second floor. You know the building, I think? |
| 22106 The man's name is Palern Flynn. Remember, if he dies, you fail. I will be here in the evenings and early mornings to meet you. Good luck. |
| 22107 Orb |
| 22108 And, if you don't mind, get here earlier next time. I have rather delicate skin, and the sunlight is quite harsh. |
| 22109 Your task is clear, yet you delay. Keep your word; kill Armagaran Vulova and put the Shadow Thief items I gave you in the fountain. Return once the deed is done. |
| 22110 Your task is clear, yet you delay. Go to the Shadow Thief guild and rescue Palern Flynn from the Shadow Thieves. I await your return. |
| 22111 Well done. I trust you gave no mercy? Did you enjoy the task? Yes, I'm sure you did. Now, on to more important things. |
| 22112 Well done. No doubt that informant will make things difficult for the Shadow Thieves. They will be under scrutiny and will have to be cautious. Now on to important things. |
| 22113 More important things? Was this man's murder not important?! |
| 22114 I have done much for you. When will you help me with Imoen? |
| 22115 I await your instructions. |
| 22116 The rescue of this person was not important? Then why did I do it? |
| 22117 I have done everything you have asked. When will you help me find Imoen? |
| 22118 What would you have me do? |
| 22119 You have returned. My informants have kept me updated. You displayed mercy, a crippling attribute for a killer. Well, no matter. |
| 22120 You have returned. No need to say how you fared; my spies have kept me updated. The rescue did not go as planned, I take it? No matter, he was unimportant. |
| 22121 The attack will have put the Shadow Thieves on edge, and that was half the purpose anyway. On to more important things. |
| 22122 If the task was of no importance, why did you have me attempt it? |
| 22123 I have tried to do as you have asked. When will you help me find Imoen? |
| 22124 I await your next order, Bodhi. |
| 22125 These tasks were to see your capabilities. I must have careful knowledge of my contacts, and you are no exception. You are, perhaps, even more deserving of scrutiny. |
| 22126 You will benefit as well. I required extra effort, but I am more tolerant of mistakes and insolence as a result. This is good for you. Now to the task at hand. |
| 22127 Patience, I will honor our deal. Indeed, I will be glad to see you to your destination. However, if my tasks are left undone, your trip will not be possible. |
| 22128 You would not want the path contested by Shadow Thieves, would you? The task at hand will ensure safe passage for you and her. Let's get to it then. |
| 22129 You are eager; regardless of your performance, I can see you value your service here. It will benefit you in the long run. Now then, to the business at hand. |
| 22130 It is time to take down the leadership of the Shadow Thieves and throw them into a more permanent disarray from which they may not recover. |
| 22131 Run, my brothers! Save yourselves! |
| 22132 Would you do this? The beholder is a creature of great power and must be stopped! Listen to my plan, my friend, and we may have a chance at stopping him! |

| 22153 No, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, the exact opposite is true! If you are able to retrieve this rod, you must do so! |
| 22154 Why? I thought you said the beholder cannot get ahold of this item? |
| 22155 We tried to get the second half of the rod ourselves, to use its destructive power to defeat the beholder. That is the only way to destroy the creature. |
| 22156 The beholder has failed to acquire the rod because the gods have cursed the item. This lets you determine the artifact's true worth... or threat. |
| 22157 Would you... would you be willing to go below and retrieve the artifact, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 22158 Can this half of the rod work without the other half? |
| 22159 Very well... I will go below and see if I can locate this rod. |
| 22160 No. I will be leaving now. |
| 22161 No, that is true. The beholder's half must be stolen for the power to be used. I know of a way to do this. Retrieve the first half and I shall tell you of it. |
| 22162 Very well... I shall return as soon as I am able. |
| 22163 No, I don't trust you. I shall be on my way. |
| 22164 I am most grateful, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. We have tried, but our blindness limits us. This chamber we are in is safe... so long as the sarcophagus is not opened. |
| 22165 Be careful in the levels below, and remember that the gods will likely not allow one to take the artifact for themselves for long. Remember that! Godspeed! |
| 22166 Please do not hurt us, noble one! |
| 22167 You have no eyes... are you members of the Unseeing Eye's flock, then? |
| 22168 Who are you, and what are you doing here? |

| 22173 Emotion: Hopelessness |
| 22174 Emotion: Hopelessness (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 4 Range: 50 ft. Duration: 9 rounds + 1 round/level after 7th Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special When this spell is cast, the wizard can disturb the emotional state of those around <PRO_HIMHER>. The effect of this is to inflict a feeling of hopelessness upon the enemies within the visual range of the caster. Upon a failed Saving Throw vs. Spell, the affected creature will lie down where they stand and give over all their will to a higher power. Sometimes they can be heard to exclaim things such as "I lay down and die," or "I'm going home." This will last for the duration of the spell, upon which they will return to normal. The secondary effect of this spell is to instill upon the caster the feeling of courage. This will remove any effects of panic and restore <PRO_HISHER> morale, as well as prevent the above from creeping forth into <PRO_HISHER> psyche. There is no Saving Throw vs. this and it will last for the duration of the spell. It will, however, be affected by Magic Resistance and other such things. |
| 22175 Yes... I have half of the rod here with me. |
| 22176 Ah... that is sad news, indeed. I urge you to return to the levels below, my <LADYLORD>, as soon as you are able! The beholder must be stopped! |

| 22180 Otiluke's Resilient Sphere (Alteration) Level: 4 Range: 40 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. When this spell is cast, the result is a globe of shimmering force that encloses the subject creature if it fails to Save vs. Spell. The resilient sphere will contain its subject for the duration of the spell. The sphere is completely immune to all damage; in fact, the only method of removing the sphere is a successful Dispel Magic. Hence, the creature caught inside the globe is completely safe from all attacks, but at the same time completely unable to affect the outside world. |
| 22181 Remove Curse (Abjuration) Level: 4 Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Upon casting this spell, the wizard is usually able to remove a curse on an object, on a person, or in the form of some undesired sending or evil presence. Note that the Remove Curse spell does not remove the curse from a cursed shield, weapon, or suit of armor, for example, although the spell typically enables the person afflicted with any such cursed item to get rid of it. Certain special curses may not be countered by this spell, or may be countered only by a caster of a certain level or more. |
| 22182 My uncle Jan could whup you in a fight. |
| 22183 The Unseeing Eye is in a great pit in the center of the cult compound. You cannot enter the pit by the stairsâ€â€the beholder's minions would slay you. |
| 22184 But you must get into the pit. There is a niche where the beholder stores his treasures... including the rod. There is a safe way to get to that niche. |
| 22185 Greater Malison |
| 22186 Greater Malison (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 4 Range: 50 ft. Duration: 2 rounds/level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None The spell allows the caster to adversely affect all the Saving Throws of <PRO_HISHER> enemies. The effect is applied to all hostile creatures within the area of effect. Opponents under the influence of this spell make all Saving Throws at a penalty of -4. |

| 22305 Is it a fight ye're lookin' for? I don't like th' look o' ye. |
| 22306 Beat it, <GIRLBOY>. |
| 22307 You just got off th' bleedin' ship, aye? Ye sure smells like it! Haw ha! |
| 22308 Ye doesn't look like ye belongs in the docks, surely. There's people here that'll rob ye blind quicker 'an looks at ye. |
| 22309 Mmmm... I might consider a coupling, lowly male, were you not so filthy and disease-ridden as to be far beneath my notice. |
| 22310 Woohoo! Look at th' dark one there! Aye, she be a looker! How 'bout it, lovely one? |
| 22311 Polymorph Other (Alteration) Level: 4 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. The Polymorph Other spell is a powerful magic that permanently alters the form of the creature affected. Mental attributes are not affected, and the target does not receive the special abilities of the new form. However all physical attributes are changed to adhere to the new form. This is a specific version of the spell in that the recipient will be transformed into a squirrel unless a Save vs. Petrification/Polymorph is made successfully. The transformation is instant and permanent until a Dispel Magic is cast successfully upon the affected creature. The natural attacks of the new form also become available and all clothes and equipment that the target was wearing will mold into the new form. |
| 22312 You will surely pay for your insolence, fool... in the next life if not in this one. |
| 22313 Ye're all a bunch o' bleeders, I bet. Ha ha! |
| 22314 Har, get ye well enough away, or ye'll feel my axe, ye will! |
| 22315 I be thinkin' that it were the fish that smelled so... now I sees it be only ye. |
| 22316 Polymorph Self |
| 22317 Care to be tryin' yer strength out against a dwarf, aye? I bet I could be takin' ye but easy. |
| 22318 Ye should be more careful... ye walk around with yer mouth open like a bleedin' tourist. In this part o' town, that be nothing but an invitation, aye? |
| 22319 Ha! I be thinkin' I never seen more sorry a lot than ye! |
| 22320 I would be watching who ye be calling sorry... I myself have ne'er seen a sorrier excuse fer a comrade in harm than yerself, bowelhive. |
| 22321 Oh... er... aye, my regrets. |
| 22322 Polymorph Self (Alteration) Level: 4 Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn + 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, the wizard is able to assume the form of another creature. The caster also gains the physical mode of locomotion and breathing as well. This spell does not give the new form's other abilities such as special attacks and magic, nor does it run the risk of the wizard changing personality and mentality. For the duration of the spell, the caster may transform into any of the new forms at any time, and as many times as <PRO_HESHE> wishes. The caster gains the natural attacks of the new form in some cases and may use weapons in others. The mental attributes of the wizard remain the same, but all the physical attributes are obtained from the new form. Also, any natural protections that the new form offers are conferred to the wizard, such as the resistance to missile and crushing weapons possessed by the slime form. The possible forms given by Polymorph Self are: Flind: wields a magical halberd (+1 fire damage and strikes as a +3 weapon) Mustard Jelly: capable of poisoning or slowing opponents (if they fail a Save vs. Death when hit) Ogre: capable of causing massive damage with its fists Spider: causes poison damage when it hits an opponent In addition, the caster may choose the form of brown bear, black bear, or wolf. |
| 22323 Oh, I likes 'em short, I does. Look at the lil sweet one thar! |
| 22324 You will keep your vile comments to yourself, dwarf... and your wandering eyes as well, else I prove to you the full extent of my fighting prowess. |
| 22325 Oh, excuse me, m'<LADYLORD>. I be so clumsy, it seems! |
| 22326 Embarl |
| 22327 Hey! Watch where your hands are going! |
| 22330 Prepare to die, thief! |
| 22331 Beat it, halfling! |
| 22332 I didn't do anything! Honest, I didn't do anything! |
| 22333 Embarl |
| 22334 Aiiiiee! Have mercy! Have mercy! |
| 22335 Oh, er, yes... of course! |
| 22336 Dum-de-dum-de-dum. Oh... have we met? |
| 22337 Galvarey |
| 22338 Galvarey |
| 22339 Oh, pardon me, friend... I think you dropped something here... |
| 22340 Lucette |
| 22341 Lucette |
| 22342 Thief! How dare you steal from me! |
| 22343 Hey! What are you doing? Did you just pick my pocket?! |
| 22344 Move along, gnome. |
| 22345 Mae'Var |
| 22346 Mae'Var |
| 22347 Brus |
| 22348 Brus |
| 22349 Oh, no, no. I wasn't stealing this, my friend. Here you go! |
| 22350 Er... no, no, of course not. Oh, look up there! What is that?! |
| 22351 Yes? What is it? |
| 22352 Elite Guard |
| 22353 Elite Guard |
| 22354 Of course. Just trying to be helpful, is all. |
| 22355 I say... you're being rather rude with that accusing glare of yours. I am but an innocent gnome! |
| 22356 Stormherald Nallabir |
| 22357 Stormherald Nallabir |
| 22358 Heckler |
| 22359 Heckler |
| 22360 Be careful to hold on to yer gold, my <LADYLORD>... there not be a single guard in this part of town to cry out for if ye loses it. |
| 22361 The Unseeing Eye |
| 22362 I so despise the smell o' fish! It be everywhere in th' bloody docks, I'm afraid. |
| 22363 The Unseeing Eye |
| 22364 What does they expect us to do if they keeps raisin' our taxes, aye? |
| 22365 The thieves rule the docks, me friend. Just you be wary now. |
| 22366 Theshal |
| 22367 Theshal |
| 22368 Well now, I thought that the docks be gettin' bad, but with one o' the black harlots showin' her face here... now I knows it's far worse. |
| 22369 Would you consider it worse, rivvil, if I accidentally opened your face with a mace? |
| 22370 Oh! It be so long since I seen a man in armor! Are ye here to clean up the docks o' lowlives then, my lord? |
| 22371 Would that I could, my lady, would that I could. |
| 22372 My husband has mentioned the thief master Mae'Var many times... he be a cruel and wicked lout, he is. |
| 22373 Have ye seen me little boy here? I ha' been looking for him everywhere! Oh, go on, you don't know nothin'. |
| 22374 I have th' feeling it's going to rain again, by Helm. Tsk! Time to put out the pots and pans once more, methinks. |
| 22375 Careful, now... there's some mighty queer people roamin' the docks, there is. You must always be on yer guard. |
| 22376 Aye now... weren't ye just selling turnips but a few weeks past, gnome? I'm sure I've seen ye. |
| 22377 Naturally, it was me, my dear. The selling of turnips is a fine and time-honored profession that I am sad to say I have left behind me for the moment. One can only do one thing at a time... unless, of course, you want to talk about my cousin Abraham. |
| 22378 You should see th' wizard that Mae'Var has workin' for 'im now. A more obnoxious and ugly man I don't think I've ever seen! |
| 22379 You're speaking of me, you insolent woman! Watch your tongue, or I'll scorch it off for you! (Miserable peasants... the common Thayan wouldn't speak like this!) |
| 22380 You should beware... this part of town belongs to the Bloodscalp, the leader of the Shadow Thieves! |
| 22381 There be a nobleman that's been down by the docks for some time... Truly, 'tis a wonder that he has not been robbed yet! |
| 22382 A noble by the name of Xzar has been down by the docks looking for someone to hire. I wonder what he wants? |
| 22383 I been robbed twice in the last week, here. And not a guard to be found anywhere. And still they demand I pays me taxes! |
| 22384 I haven't a penny left, for sure. The thieves have taken it all. |
| 22385 You poor man! Like there wasn't enough rich folk in Athkatla to steal from. Hmph. |
| 22386 By Helm... I mean no offense, miss, but might I say that ye're the prettiest sight I've seen in a long time. |
| 22387 Thank you... I suppose. That's very kind of you to say. |
| 22388 This be the city of thieves, it is. And even more so in this part o' town. |
| 22389 I expect we'll be seein' more rain soon. The weather has been plain awful o' late. |
| 22390 You hear what Mae'Var's just done? The thief master tortured one o' his own most cruelly and put him out front o' his shop for all t' see. Bloody awful murderer, he is. |
| 22391 You want t' see the head o' the docks, you speaks to the Bloodscalp. He rules the Shadow Thieves, he does... and the docks. Ye'll see none o' the guards here. |
| 22392 The weather has been so terrible... I expect the gods have been frownin' on us, they have. |
| 22393 I would not blame poor weather on the gods. And were it so, then perhaps the evil throughout this city has earned the gods' displeasure. |
| 22394 Aye now... you looks like a minstrel, you does. Will you be playin' a tune for us, mayhap? |
| 22395 Nothing would please me more, good sir... but perhaps another time. |
| 22396 Sassar |
| 22397 Sassar |
| 22398 Might ye wish to take a look at some wares o' mine? I can offer them at a mighty fine price... Come, take a look. |
| 22399 All right, let me see what you have. |
| 22400 I've no interest in your stolen goods. |
| 22401 Begone, thief! Run, or I'll have your hide! |
| 22402 An excellent choice. |
| 22403 A man has to make a living, my friend. |
| 22404 I would not run about threatenin' the locals... there be no guards here to save ye. But I'll do as ye say... for now. |
| 22405 Begone, thief! Run, or I'll have your hide! |
| 22406 Ye should be wary who ye threaten! Come, boys... we have trouble here! |
| 22407 Good business to you, my <LADYLORD>... Ikert bids you welcome to my humble establishment. You are new to the docks, yes? Might I ask your name? |
| 22408 I am <GABBER>. |
| 22409 Well met, <GABBER>, and a pearl to you. My poor business likely has little to offer you, but you are free to look around, if you wish. |
| 22410 Yes, show me what services you have. |
| 22411 As it pleases you. With all the thievery here, I am afraid I have very little. My hope is, of course, that there is something to match your needs. |
| 22412 Perhaps you could tell me where I could find a suitable inn in this area. |
| 22413 There be only the Sea's Bounty here in the docks. The Copper Coronet in the Slums District is the largest inn in the city. I would try there. |
| 22414 Thank you. Let me see what you have in stock now. |
| 22415 Greetings to you once again, my good <LADYLORD>! Do you wish to take a look at my goods? |
| 22416 Certainly... let's see what you have. |
| 22417 Actually, I'm wondering if you could tell me of an inn in the area. |
| 22418 Actually, I've heard some rumors of thieves in this area... what do you know about that? |
| 22419 No, I'll be on my way. |
| 22420 Ah, I know little. Renal the Bloodscalp runs the docks with an iron hand. But you'll not get into his hall to see him without his leave, let me assure you. |
| 22421 I see. Well, let me see what services you have. |
| 22422 Perhaps you could tell me where I could find a suitable inn. |
| 22423 When summoning fiends, keep in mind that the beast may turn on you if you have not cast Protection From Evil on yourself. |
| 22424 Thank you. I'll be on my way. |
| 22425 Leaving already? As you wish, my good <LADYLORD>. I do hope to see you again soon. |
| 22426 Keep in mind that your party members have minds of their own and may disagree with the choices you make. |
| 22427 I've heard rumors of thieves running this part of the city... what do you know about that? |
| 22428 Thank you, but I'll be on my way. |
| 22429 You can import your own portraits into the game. Check the manual for instructions. |
| 22430 I've heard rumors of thieves running the docks... do you know anything about that? |
| 22431 Thank you, but I'll be on my way. |
| 22432 I'm not interested in divulging my name. One cannot be too careful. |
| 22433 As you wish, my good <LADYLORD>. I meant no disrespect. Do you wish, then, to peruse my wares? I do not have much, but it is all of good quality, I assure you. |
| 22434 Yes, show me what you have. |
| 22435 No, I'm not interested. |
| 22436 Just show me what you have to sell and let's leave it at that, shall we? |
| 22437 As you wish... please excuse my impertinence. |
| 22438 Excuse me, I'm afraid I must be going. |
| 22439 Powerful wizards have magics that will deflect spells cast at them. To counteract this, use spells such as Pierce Magic. |
| 22440 If shapechanged into animal form, your character cannot initiate dialogue. |
| 22441 While your character does not have to eat, remember that YOU do. We don't want to lose any dedicated players. |
| 22442 Changing tactics can often make an "impossible" battle merely challenging. Explore all options and abilities available. |
| 22443 No single character can handle every situation. Use the strengths and skills of all your party members. |
| 22444 Some monsters are immune or resistant to magic. |
| 22445 You can't be too careful around here... there's no guards to protect us little folk from the ruffians! |
| 22446 You have to stay away from the Shadow Thief buildings... they don't like prying eyes, you know. |
| 22447 I'm no pickpocket! Why are you lookin' at me like that? |
| 22448 I've seen the thieves fightin' each other 'round here of late. Makes me shudder right down to me foot-hairs just to think what's going on. |
| 22449 Gosh... I sure don't like it around here. I wish I could go back to the burrows one day. |
| 22450 You should go then, small one. The world is as easily accessible to you as one foot placed in front of the other. |
| 22451 This is a terrible place. You all shouldn't be around here. |
| 22452 Poor cousin! May Arvoreen smile upon you and bring you better fortune. |
| 22453 You! You there! I know you! You owe Ebrone money! Pay me now! |
| 22454 I don't owe you any money, friend. |
| 22455 I owe you money? How much are we talking here? |
| 22456 Begone, fool. |
| 22457 You don't? Er... could you give me some anyway? I'm awfully short. |
| 22458 Very well, then. Here's a gold piece to tide you over. |
| 22459 Why do you need money? |
| 22460 I'm sorry, I have nothing to offer you. |
| 22461 Snareâ€â€here |
| 22462 I knew it! A beggar! Begone! |
| 22463 Er... as much as you want to pay me? I'm open to anything. |
| 22464 Very well, then. Here's a gold piece to tide you over. |
| 22465 I'm sorry, I have nothing to offer you. |
| 22466 I knew it! A beggar! Begone! |
| 22467 I'll be back! I always collect what is owed to me! I didn't build that ship for nothing! |
| 22468 Hm. Well, that'll pay off part of your debt. I'll take this as a down payment. |
| 22469 A dragon attacked my ship! Or was it a wyvern? Or maybe it was a giant turtle? Or a turtle dragon? Yes, that's it! |
| 22470 Hah! Fair enough, here is a gold piece for you. |
| 22471 I have nothing to give you, I'm afraid. |
| 22472 Back off, beggar! I've had enough of your kind! |
| 22473 How about I kill you now and put you out of your misery? |
| 22474 Pay you? How about I let you deal with my sword? |
| 22475 Help! Help! Welcher! Violent welcher! |
| 22476 Bah! I'd rather kill you, fool! |
| 22477 I knew it! You're a welcher! You'll not live long in the docks if you don't repay your debts! Welcher! Welcher! |
| 22478 Hmmm... you have the stench of a welcher. |
| 22479 You showed your face back here, eh? I suppose you expect some kind of reward for that sloppy business with Mae'Var? |
| 22480 Actually, I do. I got rid of your problem, didn't I? |
| 22481 I suppose not. It was the best I could do, however. |
| 22482 Well, you've left me to deal with the rest of the guild, haven't you? I wanted evidence, fool. If I just wanted Mae'Var dead, I could have done that myself! |
| 22483 At least you've rid me of a potential risk... and I can deny involvement because none of my men did the task. Still very sloppy. I expected better of you. |
| 22484 Begone, then. I hope you looted Mae'Var well, because you'll get nothing from me. |
| 22485 Bah. Now I have all sorts of problems. The other guildmasters will think I'm out to kill them all. Begone, fool. You've left me with more than enough work to do. |
| 22486 YOU! Bow, worm, and pray that Cyric allows you to become one of his holy worshippers! Cast aside whatever false god you pray to and embrace the Prince of Lies in all his majesty! |
| 22487 I'll not convert to Cyric's worship... or do anything else you ask. |
| 22488 I won't have to pluck out my eyes, will I? |
| 22489 And I am sure you have letters of authorization or that sort of thing. Irrelevant. How about we throw you on the rack and make sure you are who you say you are? |
| 22490 Very well... I will become one of Cyric's servants! |
| 22491 What if I am already one of the faithful? You preach to the choir, my dark friend. |
| 22492 Then suffer cruelly as one of Cyric's chosen victims! RAAAAARRRGH! |
| 22493 You mock the Prince of Lies?! RAAAARRRGH! |
| 22494 A most divine providence! Prepare to greet our master as his holy sacrifice! RAAAAARRRGH! |
| 22495 Oh? Well, all right then. |
| 22496 Me ship's been through some mighty terrible weather. The Sea of Swords has been a choppy and windy place for months now. |
| 22497 Athkatla is the finest port south of Waterdeep... excellent trading here. |
| 22498 I hear that there's been a ship or two carryin' slaves to the port here. Can't believe they still allow that sort o' thing. |
| 22499 My ship's in dock, collectin' her cargo. You care to hire on? |
| 22500 Sailing's the finest thing in the world, it is... nothing like spending your days on the open seas! |
| 22501 Hmmm... I'm tempted to join you and explore the rest of this magnificent gem of a world. Perhaps another day, however. |
| 22502 I have a mighty ship, she is. An' I tell you, there is nothing finer than sailing the seas of Faerûn! |
| 22503 There be nothin' finer than vomiting 'til yer guts flail and yer head shatters either, I suspect, in yer eyes. Ships be good for mule-headed longlimbs and that is all. |
| 22504 OooOOooh... only one day's shore leave an' I can barely see straight... |
| 22505 *hic* 'Tis a sailor's life, it is, an' a fine one at that! |
| 22506 *hic* I been robbed twice since I got ashore, but I'm bloody well in my cups, so I don't give a care! *hic* |
| 22507 Oh, me head is hurtin' bad now. 'Tis the curse of bein' a sailor, I suppose. Oooh... |
| 22508 Ah, me ship leaves in less than an hour, it does. The captain'll have me hide if I'm not aboard! |
| 22509 Hey, now! *hic* If I don't be seein' a beautiful drow in front of me drunken sailor eyes! *hic* I wonder if all the rumors be true...? |
| 22510 They are, lowly jaluk. But you will never have them proven for you, let me assure you. |
| 22511 *hic* Lookit that elf! I been in every port in on the Coast, an' I ain't seen legs like that! *hic* |
| 22512 You should rub your drunken eyes, then, human sailor. And then avert them, for you are close to offending me. |
| 22513 Bah! The catch o' fish has been awful in the last few days! |
| 22514 Eh? That smell ye wrinkle yer nose at be the smell o' fish, an' it's what feeds me children, that's what! |
| 22515 There be only two reasons to come to the docks. One, ye has a ship to catch or fish from. Two, ye're a no-good thief. |
| 22516 Well, if that don't take all. The thieves have finally stolen me fishing boat. What in blazes am I supposed to do now? |
| 22517 Talk amongst the fishermen is that ye have t' talk to Renal the Bloodscalp if ye wants to talk to the Shadow Thieves. Better than talkin' to Mae'Var... he's a frightening one, he is. |
| 22518 I can't believe there be a nobleman walkin' plain as day by the docks. Walkin' about and hasn't been robbed, that is. |
| 22519 Saw the nobleman... what was 'is name?... Xzar? I think that be it. He was down by the docks last I saw him, looking to employ people like yourselves. |
| 22520 There be some manner of nobleman down by the docks. Can't believe he don't recoil from all the fish bein' brought in. Strange one, that. |
| 22521 I doubt he told you to say that. Such a confrontational statement does not seem his style. Perhaps I should toss you on the rack and see if you are being true. |
| 22522 Ask my cousin here. He relied on sentiment; thought it would get him out of stealing from guild coffers. Perhaps, but not before he's learned about crossing his betters. |
| 22523 Perhaps you'd suggest a kinder, gentler punishment for my "kin"? Or perhaps I should introduce you to the rack instead, so we might determine your true kinship. |
| 22524 Arledrian |
| 22525 Arledrian |
| 22526 Yes? Is there someth... Renfeld! By Tymora! Thank you for bringing him to us. We were beginning to worry! |
| 22527 Spectral Harpist |
| 22528 Not in this room. Ask poor Lin who the most powerful person in his life is. Who will you call master when you are on the rack? Perhaps we should find out? |
| 22529 Spectral Harpist |
| 22530 Xzar...? It's me, <CHARNAME>... don't you recognize me? |
| 22531 Xzar? Aren't you dead? |
| 22532 I saw you dealing with those Harpers... but it is obvious you are not a Harper yourself. You would be willing, then, to render me a service regarding them. |
| 22533 It is not a problem. Glad to be of service. |
| 22534 I was rather hoping for a reward for this good deed...? |
| 22535 Tell me... who are you? What manner of place is this? |
| 22536 Hm. Mmm. I remember working with someone rather inept who resembled you. If Monty were here, he would certainly be able to remind me. No matter! |
| 22537 Or perhaps not. Scared you, did I? Fear will keep you honest. You don't want to end up like Lin here, with me having to test your honesty. Difficult to do with certainty. |
| 22538 I may have been. It happens when you are forced to deal with buffoons. If Monty were here, he would be able to tell for certain. Bah! It matters not! |
| 22539 Well! I see there is no one with sufficient courage to take on even the most noble of tasks! Not even to save the life of a poor soul in dire jeopardy! |
| 22540 *sigh* Very well... exactly what is it that you want, then? |
| 22541 That's right. Excuse me while I leave you be. |
| 22542 My friend Montaron has been taken captive by those irksome Harpers. I would have you enter their building and find Monty for me. |
| 22543 All right, I'll see what I can do. |
| 22544 I see. And what is in it for me? |
| 22545 You want me to sneak into that Harper base? And what would stop me from ending up the same as Montaron? |
| 22546 I never liked you much anyway, Xzar. Forget it. |
| 22547 I have no time to perform this task for you. |
| 22548 I am not asking you to kill anyone! Bah! A simple mission of mercy and you cannot find it within your heart to perform this task? Where is your compassion? |
| 22549 Very well, then. What, exactly, is it that you wish me to do? |
| 22550 Same place yours is, I suspect. I'll not be duped into doing anything against the Harpers. So long. |
| 22551 Bah! Dealing with gutless, whining whelps is excruciating! When you gather enough courage to take up my offer, I shall be here. |
| 22552 Excellent. Go to their building and return once you have found him. Short... halfling... thief... even one of your intellectual capacity can't miss him. |
| 22553 Ice Mephit |
| 22554 Ice Mephit |
| 22555 I know certain information... the mage who captured you, Irenicusâ€â€I know where he is. Do my task and I shall tell you... heh, heh. |
| 22556 Very well, I will see what I can do. |
| 22557 You want me to sneak into a base full of Harpers? What is to stop me from ending up like your Montaron? |
| 22558 Hmm. We shall see. For now, I will dispense some pissant task to keep you out of my hair. I shall test your worth with a good old-fashioned self-serving errand. |
| 22559 Oh, it's you again. Finally screwed up your courage to help poor Monty, then? Or do I have wait until doomsday for someone competent to pass me by? |
| 22560 I'm willing to do the job... what was it again that you wanted me to do? |
| 22561 No, I'm still not interested. |
| 22562 Well, then what are you bothering me for? You think I enjoy chatting with rabble like you merely for its own sake? Begone! |
| 22563 You're back, are you? Is it safe for me to assume that you have succeeded in your mission, or am I merely subject to a grueling social call? |
| 22564 No, I haven't found out what happened to Montaron yet. |
| 22565 I assure you, I am here as a member of the Shadow Thieves in good standing. |
| 22566 Better that he die an honest man than live as a liar and endanger us all. |
| 22567 Who would examine you if your honesty were in doubt? Do you get the same? |
| 22568 Yes, actually. Montaron was turned into a bird and put in the Harper's aviary... but I don't have it with me. |
| 22569 I have found out what happened to him, yes. He was turned into a bird... which I have with me here. |
| 22570 Bah! This is annoying! Will you carry out your job, or must Montaron pay for your indolence? Must I find someone more competent than you?! |
| 22571 No, I intend to finish the job. |
| 22572 That's right... find someone else to do your work for you. I tire of your attitude. |
| 22573 It would be much more satisfying if I just killed you! |
| 22574 Well, what are you waiting for?! Go and get that bird and bring it back to me! Bah... do I have to tell you everything?! |
| 22575 Deathsong |
| 22576 That wasn't part of the deal... I found out what happened, and I told you. |
| 22577 Very well... I'll go and return with the bird. |
| 22578 There are those that could order it, but you don't get where I am without earning some favors. Questioning me would get the accuser a noose, and a loose one at that. |
| 22579 Finally, Montaron will be returned to my side! This is excellent news... especially since some fools broke into my laboratory and slaughtered all my creations! |
| 22580 Before I reward you, I'll polymorph Monty into his proper form... just to make sure you're not lying. Monty must have something interesting to say... |
| 22581 Such thoughts are akin to mine, but I will hold you no closer knowing you are as cold as I. Instead, a simple quest to test your worth and pad our coffers. |
| 22582 Then get moving. Bah! The amount of incompetency I am forced to deal with on a regular basis astounds me! |
| 22583 I knew you were too incompetent to be trusted. Very well! If you've not the courage to perform a simple task, I'll find somebody else with more gumption. |
| 22584 Mae'Var's Strongbox Key |
| 22585 Harlot |
| 22586 Forget it, I tire of this job. Find someone else to do it for you. |
| 22587 Harlot |
| 22588 Mae'Var's Strongbox Key |
| 22589 Bah! This is what I get for dealing with rabble! |
| 22590 You'll get nothing from me until I have that bird in my hands! |
| 22591 You try my patience... but I will go and return with the bird. |
| 22592 Forget it... get somebody else to get the bird. |
| 22593 Breaking the deal, eh? As you wish! I'll be paid with the satisfaction of seeing you dead! |
| 22594 I am short of hands, however, and you must do until I have cause to kill you. Sooner than later, I'll wager. For now, a pissant task to test you and pad the coffers. |
| 22595 Forget your mission! I've decided it would be far more satisfying to kill you! |
| 22596 I'll make the chore something amusing so you don't dislike me from the start. Petty larceny, I think, from beneath the skyward eyes of those in the Lathanderian temple. |
| 22597 *sigh* Sometimes, attempting to speak to you is about as productive as whipping a malnourished and diseased dog... and almost as interesting. |
| 22598 If it pleases ye, me <LADYLORD>, could ye spare a coin for a beggar in most dire need? |
| 22599 Yes, of course. Here you go. |
| 22600 I'm sorry, I cannot spare what little I have. |
| 22601 Get away, beggar! I've had enough of your kind! |
| 22602 Oh, ye're a kind soul. A pearl to ye. |
| 22603 Oh, 'tis all right. We're all in need, I s'pose. Simply thought a finely dressed <LADYLORD> like yerself might spare a simple coin, is all. |
| 22604 Oh, ye're a harsh one, ye are. Very well, I'll be goin'. |
| 22605 Hey! You just picked my pocket! Come back here! |
| 22606 Ah, fine. Off you go. |
| 22607 Pick my pocket, will you?! Prepare to die, thief! |
| 22608 Spirit Armor |
| 22609 Spirit Armor (Necromancy) Level: 4 Range: Touch Duration: 2 hours Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special This spell is very similar to the 3rd-level spell Ghost Armor in that it creates a corporeal barrier around the target's body for the duration of the spell. This spell, however, actually taps in to the target's life force in order to create the barrier. The armor itself is weightless and does not hinder movement or spellcasting at all. The spirit armor does not work cumulatively with any other armor; however, Dexterity bonuses still apply as well as magic rings and shields. While in effect, the Armor Class of the recipient will be set to 1, as if <PRO_HESHE> were wearing full plate. Also, due to the magical nature of the spell, <PRO_HESHE> will also receive a +3 bonus to Save vs. Spell. There is a danger, however, as when the spell runs out, the external portion of the spirit is temporarily lost, inflicting 2d4 points of damage upon the target unless the creature makes a Saving Throw vs. Spell. |
| 22610 Chaos |
| 22611 Chaos (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 5 Range: 35 ft. Duration: 5 rounds + 1 round/6 levels Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special The effects of this spell are identical to the 4th-level spell Confusion in all respects. The victims wander around as if in a daze, sometimes wandering away, sometimes attacking either friend or foe. If the victim is 4th level or lower, <PRO_HESHE> does not receive a Saving Throw vs. the effects. However, if the victim is 5th level or higher, <PRO_HESHE> receives a Save vs. Spell with a -4 penalty. The spell lasts for the duration or until a successful Dispel Magic is cast. |
| 22612 Feeblemind |
| 22613 Feeblemind (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 5 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. Feeblemind causes the subject's intellect to degenerate into that of a simple beast of burden unless a Saving Throw vs. Spell is made with a -2 penalty. Upon a failed Saving Throw, the subject remains in this state until a successful Dispel Magic is cast upon <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 22614 Domination |
| 22615 Domination (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 5 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 8 rounds Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. The Domination spell enables the caster to control the actions of any creature while the spell is in effect. This control is maintained through a telepathic link between the caster and the victim. Unlike the 4th-level priest spell Mental Domination, the target has no option for release, even if made to do something against his morals. This effect can only be reversed by Dispel Magic. The target is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -2 penalty to negate the effect. |
| 22616 Hold Monster |
| 22617 Hold Monster (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 5 Range: 40 ft. Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature and any enemies within 7.5 ft. Saving Throw: Neg. This spell holds 1d4 creatures of any type rigidly immobile and in place for 9 or more rounds, unless a Saving Throw vs. Spell is made with a -2 penalty. The effect is centered on the victim selected by the caster. Any enemies within 7.5 ft. of the target are also affected. Those who succeed on their Saving Throws are totally unaffected by the spell. Undead creatures cannot be held. Held creatures cannot move or speak, but they remain aware of events around them and can use abilities not requiring motion or speech. Being held does not prevent the worsening of the subject's condition due to wounds, diseases, or poison. |
| 22618 Mental Domination |
| 22619 Mental Domination (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 4 Sphere: Thought Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 8 rounds Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. When cast upon a subject, the subject must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -2 penalty in order to avoid the priest entering <PRO_HISHER> mind. The effects of this spell are similar to those of the wizard spell Domination, with a few minor differences. Most notably, this spell gives the priest no access to the subject's thoughts, memory, or sensory apparatus. The priest simply is able to command the subject to perform certain tasks or functions during the spell's duration. To control the subject, the priest must be within range and must be able to see the subject. This control will last until dispelled or for the duration of the spell. |
| 22620 Protection From Lightning |
| 22621 Protection From Lightning (Abjuration) Level: 4 Sphere: Protection, Weather Range: Touch Duration: 5 rounds/level Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When the spell is cast, it confers complete invulnerability to electrical attacks such as Lightning Bolt, Shocking Grasp, and so on. The protection will last for the duration of the spell or until successfully dispelled. |

| 22650 I suppose I should make the task something you wouldn't balk at completely. How about a little petty larceny amidst the stuffed robes over at the temple of Talos? |
| 22651 I pities the girls that works for Mae'Var, I does. He's a sadistic man, he is. I wouldn't put up with that. |

| 22658 It is tempting, lovely one... but I think not. |
| 22659 Hallo there, my lovely one! Ye looks like a man o' the street, aye? Care to taste a sample o' it? |
| 22660 Lin |
| 22661 Fetch me... the golden statuette acquired by the church. We need a centerpiece for the guild table. I care not how you get it, just keep the profile low. |
| 22662 I require... the amulet worn by the Weathermistress. Yes, it looked lovely on her, and I've a beautiful sheltie-spaniel cross that it will adorn just as well. |
| 22663 You need not kill her to get it. She likely removes it in the night. As pleasing as it is, even it would leave a welt the size of a melon if slept upon. |
| 22664 Well, what else do you need? It's a simple house break. I've told you the mark and where it is; the rest is up to you. Don't bother me without the goods. |
| 22665 Lin |
| 22666 Hello there, good gentleman. My name is Altheia. Are you looking for a bit of company, perhaps? |
| 22667 Yes, of course, I'm always interested in a beautiful woman. |
| 22668 I'd rather ask you a question or two, if I could. |
| 22669 No, not really. |
| 22670 Hello there, my dear. My name is Altheia... is there something that you wanted? |
| 22671 I'd like to ask you a question or two, if I could. |
| 22672 No, not really. |
| 22673 I thank you for your compliment. You are quite kind. I... I have changed my mind, however. Perhaps it is best if you found someone else. |
| 22674 Why? Is there something wrong with me? |
| 22675 But I want you... I can afford more money, if that's what you're wondering. |
| 22676 Oh? If that is what you wish, my <LADYLORD>, I have no objections. |
| 22677 You seem to be a woman of class. How is it that you come into this life on the streets? |
| 22678 I have heard rumors of thieves everywhere here in the docks... what do you know about that? |
| 22679 Actually, perhaps I have no questions. I'll be on my way. |
| 22680 Oh. Of... of course, my <LADYLORD>. As you wish. |
| 22681 No... it is just... I have never... *sob* done this before! I am so ashamed... but my father is dead and mother cannot feed us! I... I have to do something! *sob* |
| 22682 Well, take my money, then... and let's get better acquainted, if you know what I mean. |
| 22683 I have more than enough to spare, my dear. Would 50 gold pieces tide you and your mother over? |
| 22684 Well, I will not take advantage of you, then. Good luck to you. |
| 22685 Is it... that obvious? *sob*... I have never... *sob* done this before! I am so ashamed... but Father is dead and Mother cannot feed us! I... I have to do something! *sob* |
| 22686 Here, then, child... take these 50 gold pieces. I can afford it, and I trust it will tide you over a short while? |
| 22687 That is terrible, child. Unfortunately, I can do nothing for you. |
| 22688 I have money, my dear. Take some of it and perhaps we'll... get better acquainted, yes? |
| 22689 I know little about the thieves, my <LADYLORD>. They be all over the district... and the other women say you must never work for Mae'Var if you value your skin. |
| 22690 You seem a woman of class, Altheia... how is it that you came to this life on the streets? |
| 22691 Thank you for the information. I will be on my way. |
| 22692 I... I cannot! *sob* I cannot, sir! Forgive me, Mother! |
| 22693 What? Oh, but you are too kind, <SIRMAAM>! Lathander's blessing upon you! Mother shall be ever so happy! Oh, thank you, thank you! |
| 22694 The Vampire's Revenge +1 |
| 22695 It would seem that the very speculation of this weapon's existence has conspired to pull it from the realm of fantasy and into the everydayâ€â€though, as with all things that come from dreams, it is not as it truly seems. The blade is indeed vampiric, as the name would suggest, though not in the manner the finder might have hoped. It is rumored that the blade, instead of performing as one might think a vampiric blade would, was actually constructed by vampires as a trap for those that could eventually oppose them. These incredibly clever fiends have apparently fashioned numerous versions of these unfortunate blades over time, and they are the bane of all right-thinking adventurers. Each swing actually inflicts damage upon the wielder, as <PRO_HISHER> life energies are drained in order to heal <PRO_HISHER> intended victim. Were this not enough, the weapon is cursed so as to prevent its removal, and the user is smitten with a wasting of the mind, that <PRO_HESHE> may not even think of trying to rid <PRO_HIMHER>self of it. This may be among the few magical treasures that are simply not worth the trouble of seeking, and one may better spend one's time having a lovely beverage, rather than gallivanting about the wilderness with a pack full of rubbish chasing phantoms. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Affects Intelligence in a negative manner...

| 22696 Th-thank you, my lord. I wish you well. |
| 22697 I know, I know, my <LADYLORD>. Th-thank you anyway for your concern, truly. |
| 22698 Now get moving! I've told you the mark; you do the rest. Pick it from her in her sleep if you must, but do not bother me again without the goods! |
| 22699 Was I speaking kobold? Don't bother me until you've got the statuette from the Lathanderian temple! It's a simple matter, and if you can't do it, I've no use for you. |
| 22700 (Hmm... perhaps I have been too lenient, or perhaps they are just stupid.) Time is of the essence! Make haste! |
| 22701 I wasn't aware that I had asked you to "consider" any of this. You agreed to the taskâ€â€now see that it is done! |
| 22702 Delightful. So sense does have a home in your twigs after all. |
| 22703 Yes. Yes, it was. Never have I been more terrified, until I found the grace of the Nightsinger. Come, <CHARNAME>... the road beckons. |
| 22704 You think so? Did Valas get what he deserved? Would you rather have seen me flayed upon the sacrificial altar? |
| 22705 Was I not clear? Don't come back until you've got the amulet from the Weathermistress at the temple of Talos! It's simple larceny; if you can't do it, I have no use for you. |
| 22706 Well, it would seem you have a few skills behind your name after all. A fine bit of work, though hardly a challenge. Well, let's have the thing. |
| 22707 Well, you're back at last. I'll cancel the order to kill you then. You have a few skills we might find useful after all. Now, let's have a look at that amulet. |
| 22708 Ehh, kind of gaudy, isn't it? Can't see what's so compelling about it. I'll toss it in with the garbage going to Waterdeep. Lots of dainty collectors up there. |
| 22709 It's a mystery how they walk with a dinner plate around their necks. I'll file it with the other garbage sent to Calimshan. They like jewelry big, I hear. |
| 22710 Cult Archer |
| 22711 Cult Archer |
| 22712 The long, curved, single-edged blade is characteristic of both the saber and the scimitar, even though their origins lie in different parts of Faerûn. Whereas the saber was intended chiefly for horsemen, mainly due to its versatility, the scimitar has a heavier oriental influence. The "shamshir," as it was originally called, is larger, more highly curved, and tapered to an elongated, sharp point. This makes the weapon slightly slower but more effective and deadly in combat.

| 22714 Hide Armor |
| 22715 Hide Armor |
| 22716 Hide armor is made from the thick hide of a very large animal (an elephant for example) or from many layers of normal leather from common animals, like cows. Hide armor is far too bulky, inflexible and heavy to be used much in advanced human cultures. However, among the barbaric humanoid masses throughout the dark forests and misty jungles of the world, hide armor is common. Even though it does offer more protection than leather armor, one must get by the offensive odor and shoddy appearance in order to wear it effectively. Even though Thieves can wear this armor, it has a negative effect on their abilities.

| 22739 Now, let's put you to some real work. I haven't the time to piddle around with you, so my right hand man will keep you busy until you can work for me personally. |
| 22740 His name is Edwin. Bloody good spellcaster, but he likes his luxuries. Usually happens to adventurers that hate the road. He's on the third floor above us. Get going. |
| 22741 Get on with you; I haven't anything to say yet. Edwin will tell you when to come back, so go see him on the third floor. I've some special duties once you're proven. |
| 22742 Edwin has been telling me you are, at the very least, competent. Fairly good at the sneaksman's trade, but a little ham-fisted when you fight. Exactly what I'm looking for. |
| 22743 I've a special task for you. You do this for me, and you'll be set within the guild for whatever you need. Don't think it will be easy though. |
| 22744 There is a... SHHHHHH! There is a TRAITOR amongst us! Yes, one who has abused the trust we have given him! He must be dealt with in a permanent fashion. |
| 22746 Glittering Beljuril Gemstone |
| 22747 Embarl is his name, and you are to kill him with prejudice. He's at the Sea's Bounty northwest of the guild house. Bring me his dagger to show you have done the deed. |
| 22748 He will not outlive the day! Of this I swear! |
| 22749 What are his crimes? I do not wish to make a mistake in this matter. |
| 22750 What will be my reward? Petty thievery is one thing, but this is murder. |
| 22751 Is there no other means to resolve this? Does this man have to die? |
| 22752 Good! That's the spirit I like to see! Show him what it means to be a Shadow Thief, and I'll have your reward here for you when you get back. Off with you! |
| 22753 His crimes are heinous, vicious, and also none of your business! If I told you what was done, you would have to suffer the same fate! Do you understand?! |
| 22754 Yes, sir! Consider the fool dead! |
| 22755 I cannot do this. I must decline. |
| 22756 I don't take orders from the likes of you! You are considered a traitor yourself! |
| 22757 If you cannot follow instruction, then you are of no use! You are out of the guild and, as there is no such thing as an ex-Shadow Thief, you are dead as well! |
| 22758 There is no evidence, and you have exposed yourself! Consider yourself a dead <PRO_MANWOMAN>! Come to me, shadows! Kill this traitor! |
| 22759 Your reward? It should be an honor just to be asked. However, since the task is dangerous, I will have something waiting for you when you return. |
| 22760 That will more than suffice. Consider the fool dead! |
| 22761 Not sufficient. I demand more! |
| 22762 I must refuse. I will not stoop to murder. |
| 22763 Hmm... you are the one who returned Renfeld to us, yes? Greetings to you again, then. Is there something that you need? |

| 22773 This is a private residence... private, as in "it's none of your business." |
| 22774 You demand? Who do you think you are? I will not suffer such insolence from a common gutter thief! Consider yourself an exile, a castaway, a dead <PRO_MANWOMAN>! |

| 22786 This enchanted club is said to have existed since the time of the fall of Netheril and the birth of the great Anauroch Desert. While the toll on civilization was great, the true victims of this age were nature's creatures, condemned to stand and watch as their homes decayed and died. As habitats receded, those that remained were invaded by displaced hordes of creatures, the more impatient of which marched on unspoiled land taking whatever they wished. This particular weapon is said to have come from a dryad's tree, a final gift to nature's cause from a woodland spirit that could not hold back the invaders of her land. Hers was a bittersweet pain, as her wood might not have suffered so if it had not been so strong and lush. Less respecting scholars have since bestowed the item's ironic name, though the humor is not appreciated among nature's more devout followers.

| 22792 Could I speak to the person in charge here, then? |
| 22793 Oh... I'll be on my way, then. |
| 22794 You need to take a look inside? And exactly what would you be looking for? |
| 22795 There is no other way. Treachery must command the harshest penalty. You will suffer the same fate if you refuse. Anything short of obedience is treachery! |
| 22796 I understand this is the Harper's compound... I always wanted to meet a Harper. |
| 22797 A friend of mine is supposed to be inside. I want to see if he's still there. |
| 22798 Consider the man dead! He will not outlive the day! |
| 22799 What if he is innocent? What are the charges against him? |
| 22800 I will obey, but I want to know what my reward shall be. |
| 22801 I'm the new building safety inspector... we, uh, can't have all the buildings in Athkatla collapsing, you know. It's not safe. |
| 22802 Never mind. Forget I said anything. |
| 22803 All right, then. I shall see you another time. |
| 22804 I understand. What will be my reward for this task? |
| 22805 Is there no other way to deal with this man? |
| 22806 Is there no other way to deal with his supposed treachery? |
| 22807 Such arrogance! You yourself are accused of such behavior! |
| 22808 Get on with you! I set you a task, and you'd best be sure to do it. Kill that traitorous Embarl at the Sea's Bounty by the docks and do it quickly! |
| 22809 Eh? Harpers? What are you talking about? |
| 22810 I'm saying that this is the Harper's headquarters here in the city. That is what it is, isn't it? |
| 22811 You mean this isn't the Harper's headquarters? |
| 22812 Uh, never mind. I'll be going now. |
| 22813 Who I am is not your concern. I'm looking for a friend of mine, and I need to see if they are inside this building. |
| 22814 Well now, that depends. You returned Renfeld to me, yes, but I don't know who you are or what you want. |
| 22815 My name is <CHARNAME>, and I would like to take a look around inside. |
| 22816 I understand that this is the Harper's headquarters... I'm interested in joining. |
| 22817 The traitor is dead, I trust? Yes, you have his dagger. Despite your useless appearance... you have done well. Now go. I have matters to attend to that are above you. |
| 22818 Never mind, I'll be on my way. |
| 22819 You'll do as you like, I imagine. |
| 22820 A friend? What kind of friend? |
| 22821 He's a Harper... this is the Harper's headquarters, isn't it? |
| 22822 It's my brother... I think he may have snuck in here on a dare, and he hasn't come back out. Do you know anything about that? |
| 22823 Well, not a friend, exactly. I'm looking for a thief who I think was last here. He's got quite the bounty on his head. |
| 22824 Never mind. I'll be leaving now. |
| 22825 Safety inspector, eh? I don't suppose you'd have any kind of documents proving that, would you? |
| 22826 This Embarl, he had some interesting things to say about you. |
| 22827 I have killed the man, as you asked. I eagerly await my reward. |
| 22828 Above me? But I have done your bidding to the letter. Am I not favored? |
| 22829 Defensive Harmony |
| 22830 Defensive Harmony (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 4 Sphere: Law Range: 0 Duration: 6 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None Defensive Harmony grants affected creatures a defensive bonus by bestowing an enchanted coordination on their attacks and defenses. This allows a group of creatures to act as a single unit for a single battle or encounter. The effect is always centered on the caster, but affects all those within a 30-ft. radius. Those affected can move outside of this area after the spell is cast and still enjoy the benefits of the harmony. While the spell is in effect, each affected creature gains a +2 bonus to <PRO_HISHER> Armor Class. This lasts for 6 rounds or until dispelled. |

| 22832 Protection From Evil, 10' Radius (Abjuration) Level: 4 Sphere: Protection Range: Touch Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, all creatures within a 10-ft. radius are affected individually by Protection From Evil. It creates a magical barrier around the recipients at a distance of one foot. The barrier moves with the recipient and has two major effects: First, all attacks made by evil or evilly enchanted creatures against the protected creature receive a penalty of -2 to each attack roll. Second, summoned demons cannot target protected creatures. |
| 22833 Champion's Strength |
| 22834 Champion's Strength (Alteration) Level: 5 Sphere: Law Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spells is cast, the priest effectively draws on the strength of <PRO_HISHER> god and lends it to the target creature, in effect creating a champion. The target gains a bonus to <PRO_HISHER> THAC0 at a rate of 1 for every 3 levels of the caster. So a 9th level priest would confer a THAC0 bonus of 3 to the target, and so on. Also the target's Strength is set to 18/00 for the duration of the spell and receives all the bonuses to hit and damage rolls that this Strength confers. Note also that if the target's strength is above 18/00, it will actually be reduced to this value. The drawback to this is that the priest must concentrate on the connection between the target and <PRO_HISHER> god for the duration of the spell, hence losing the ability to cast any spells during this time. The effect lasts for 3 rounds for every level of the caster or until dispelled. |
| 22835 Sure I do... documents in gold, actually, if you take my meaning. |
| 22836 Well, actually... no, I don't. |
| 22837 All right, so I'm not a safety inspector. The truth is I'm looking for a friend who I think might be inside. |

| 22857 Yes, yes, yes. Truth be known, I'm not listening to you. Embarl was a thorn to be removed, and now I can move on to other things. Now the way is clear to me. |
| 22858 Enough! Revealing our existence here could endanger us more than you know! Do you want to have the blood of the valiant on your hands? |
| 22859 You have been a useful tool, and you may be one again. Don't think you are more than that; I will have a thousand thieves, all doing my bidding just as you are. |
| 22860 Is it supposed to be a secret? I wasn't aware of that. I suppose I'll just be on my way, then, and try to avoid telling everyone I know about this place... |

| 22862 Amalas |
| 22863 Sorry, friend. I know you helped me with Renfeld, but this compound is closed to outsiders. I can't help you. |
| 22864 Perhaps some gold might persuade you to change your mind? |
| 22865 I thought you Harpers were supposed to help people? |
| 22866 And if I forced my way inside? What would you do then? |
| 22867 Come for me, have you? I know. I've still those loyal to me, and they have warned me. We'll not lay down for you! Do as you must! |
| 22868 Thanks a lot. I'll be leaving, then. |
| 22869 Sorry. No amount of gold is going to get you entrance here. |
| 22870 Well, I didn't think bribing a Harper would be possible, but it was worth a try. |
| 22871 And what if I decided to force my way in? What would you do then? |
| 22872 Fine. I'll be on my way, then. |
| 22873 Well, then letting me inside to take a quick look around shouldn't be much of a problem, should it? |
| 22874 The Harpers? Valiant? Somehow I just don't put those two words together. |
| 22875 Actually, it wouldn't bother me much. |
| 22876 You could try and kill me, if you like. You may even succeed. That still wouldn't gain you entrance into this building. It is quite secure, I assure you. |
| 22877 And I suppose I would earn the enmity of the Harpers forever, right? |
| 22878 We'll see about that! Prepare to die! |
| 22879 Fine. I'll be on my way, then. |
| 22880 All right! You returned Renfeld to us, but I can't let you inside based on that. Listen... if you do a small task for us, I'll let you take a look around. Deal? |
| 22881 Spectral Harpist Hand Weapon |
| 22882 What sort of "small task" are you talking about? |
| 22883 Sorry. Either you let me in now or I tell everyone about your existence here. |
| 22884 Bringing your friend wasn't enough? Forget it. I'm not interested. |
| 22885 Look... I know you returned Renfeld to us, but I still can't let you inside. If you perform a small task for us, we can give you a quick look around. |
| 22886 What sort of "small task" are you talking about? |
| 22887 Sorry. Either you let me in now or I tell everyone about your existence here. |
| 22888 Bringing you your friend wasn't enough? Forget it, then. |
| 22889 *sigh* You are cold, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. You helped us with Renfeld, but I can't let you inside. If you perform a small task for us, we can give you a quick look around. |
| 22890 What sort of "small task" are you talking about? |
| 22891 Sorry. Either you let me in now or I tell everyone about your existence here. |
| 22892 Bringing you your friend wasn't enough? Forget it, then. |
| 22893 You'll find the Harpers no simple target, fool! |
| 22894 You look like the fighting sort... There is a house just north of here, near the center of the district. |
| 22895 The owner of the house, a mage named Prebek, performs vile experiments... creating beasts which threaten the city. Destroy them, and we'll allow your wish. |
| 22896 Why not just deal directly with the owner of the house? |
| 22897 Sorry. Either you let me in now or I tell everyone about your existence here. |
| 22898 Very well. I will do as you ask. |
| 22899 No dice. I refuse to do this. |
| 22900 Then we shall have to stop you if you do. Either you perform the service for us or you will not gain entrance. It is for you to choose. |
| 22901 What kind of service was it you wanted, then? |
| 22903 Chaotic Commands |
| 22904 Chaotic Commands (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 5 Sphere: Chaos Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Chaotic Commands renders a creature immune to magical commands. Suggestion, Charm, Domination, Command, Sleep, Maze, and Confusion are all spells that fit into this category. This spell also protects the target from Psionic Blast. This spell affects only 1 creature and lasts for the duration or until dispelled. |
| 22905 Then we shall have to stop you if you do. Either you perform the service for us or you will not gain entrance. It is for you to choose. |
| 22906 No... I am not interested in doing this. |
| 22907 There is nothing else I can do... sorry. If you change your mind, you know where to find me. And remember... say nothing or you will suffer the consequences. |
| 22908 That is a separate matter and is being dealt with by another Harper. This is all we need help with currently. Will you do it? |
| 22909 Sorry. Either you let me in now or I tell everyone about your existence here. |
| 22910 Meeting with Valen's mistress I went to the Graveyard District to meet with the mistress of the woman who approached me, but she oddly decided that even though she had intended to offer me some form of arrangement, she now could not trust me. I am too much like the "others," she said... referring I suppose to my current employers? I don't know why she would distrust a rogue when she was so dark herself. She disappeared in a cloud of mist, hinting that we would meet again... in battle. |
| 22912 Very well. I will do as you ask. |
| 22913 No... I am not interested in doing this. |
| 22914 Helping Tiris in Trademeet It appears that not all was as it seemed! "Raissa" appears to be, in fact, Rejiek... who is also one of the skinless creatures. So is Darsidian... this was all a set up to make me believe that Rejiek was finally dead! |

| 22917 Firkraag himself I have encountered the true Firkraag, a gigantic red dragon. He has tormented me due to a past grudge with Gorion as well as some faint interest in my status as a child of Bhaal. Either way, his interest in me is now finished. He would have preferred to send me on my way, but I shall not leave it at that! |
| 22918 Why not just deal directly with the owner of the house? |
| 22919 Very well. I will do as you ask. |
| 22921 No dice. I refuse to do this. |
| 22922 Very well. Go to the house and kill the creatures there. We will watch you and know when you have completed the task. Return here once you are done. |
| 22924 The final battle with Bodhi While I had feared for some time that Bodhi's final revenge on me would be to take away Jaheira forever, it seems that the information in the lorebook was right... Amaunator's idol has restored Jaheira not only to life, but has removed the vampiric curse from her as well. |
| 22925 Is there something that you need? |
| 22926 Yes. Can you tell me what manner of place this is? |
| 22927 Could I take a look around inside? |
| 22928 The return to Harper Hold I have rejoined Jaheira at the Harper Hold... and she was happy to see me, relaying that the Harpers there were no longer truly Harpers. She is unaware of the full plot, but the lack of the specters on the second floor meant that this was a mere splinter group bent on revenge, and having killed them to free Jaheira from their clutches does not weigh on my heart. |
| 22929 No, not really. |
| 22930 Perform Bodhi's tasks to receive her aid I decided to give the merchant Vulova a chance to run and hide somewhere instead of killing him. He was ungrateful enough to sic his guards on me, but at least he's gone. Now all that remains is to return to Bodhi and hope that she's fooled by my ruse. |
| 22931 The drow summoning ritual My clumsy attempt at turning Phaere in to Matron Ardulace has only resulted in Ardulace turning on me and the entire drow city being alerted to my presence. My disguise is up... I shall have to fight my way out of here now if I wish any chance at living. |
| 22932 That is no concern of yours. This is a closed and secure compound. Please move along. |
| 22933 You most certainly may not. This is a closed and secure compound. Please move along. |
| 22934 Escaping the asylum I encountered Dace Sontan, whom Bodhi mentioned. He was raving that only the hand of the creator (his hand?) could open the door out. I think he also removed the crystal that focuses the magic for the door and left it to rot in a pile of refuse. He said something about kobolds worshipping it? He is definitely insane. |
| 22935 You're back... but you haven't completed the task yet. |
| 22936 I'll get on it right away. |
| 22937 Could you remind me where the house is again? |
| 22938 What is it that you wanted me to do, again? |
| 22939 I'm no longer interested in doing this task for you. |
| 22941 Coran and the wolfweres Safana and the wolfwere Lanfear had obviously hatched a plan together. Safana would gain access to the bounty on my head, and Lanfear would gain Coran, whom she was in love with in her own strange fashion. Coran was killed by my hand, however, and it drove Lanfear into a rage. She killed Safana and then came after me. Almost the kind of soap opera I would expect from Coran. |

| 22949 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills A shadow who wishes to be taken to the other side of a strange series of tiles told me that he took a key from the chapel next to the cells and hid it in his cell. It is one of the keys that I will need to reach the Shade Lord. |

| 22953 It's in one of the buildings located in this district right here. You'll find it near the center of the district. |
| 22954 All right, I'll get on it right away. |
| 22955 What is it that you wanted me to do, again? |
| 22956 I've decided I'm no longer interested in doing this task. |
| 22957 You're to go to the house and dispose of all the magical creatures conjured up through this man's experiments. We'll know when you've completed the task. |
| 22958 Very well, I'll get on it. |
| 22959 Where is this house again? |
| 22960 I've decided that I'm no longer interested in performing this task. |
| 22961 As you wish. If you change your mind, you know where to find me. Remember, though... tell no one about us. Or suffer the consequences. |
| 22962 Ah. It is you, again. What do you want now? |
| 22963 I would like to know what manner of place this is. |
| 22964 I would like to take a look around this place. |

| 22971 Yes... this is the Harper's headquarters, right? |
| 22972 Say that again, in public, and you'll lose your tongue. We'll be watching you... so ensure that you repeat that information nowhere. Now get moving. |
| 22973 You'll learn the folly of your actions, fool! |
| 22974 Excellent. I understand you have completed the task at the house. The Harpers are grateful. You may go inside... but I warn you to keep to the first floor. |
| 22975 The second floor is far too dangerous... anyone but a Harper who goes there will be killed, and we couldn't help you. At any rate... go on in, if you wish. |

| 23082 We use this building as our base in the city, of course. Don't speak of it, as secrecy is our weapon. Many think us meddlers and would give much to end our existence. |

| 23090 But aside from secrecy concerns, this is the safest place for us to be. Powerful magic protects the building, and there are guardians to ward against intruders. |
| 23091 Guardians? What sort of guardians? |
| 23092 Could you perhaps tell me a little about the Harpers? |
| 23093 Turn and return back from where you came, or suffer the might of we guardians. We can see all, so leave and begone. |
| 23094 Who are you, then, and what do you do here? |
| 23095 I suppose I'll be on my way, then. |
| 23096 Time is eternal for we that see, but time counts down for you even now. Leave or never leave as death becomes you. |
| 23097 Farewell to you, then. |
| 23098 As I said, it does not mean much to one that does not study the Code. We have a simple attitude on life and maintaining the balance, but not everyone agrees. |
| 23099 Perhaps you could tell me who you are and what you do here. |
| 23100 What is this place, then? |
| 23101 Thanks, I'll be on my way. |
| 23102 Ask as you will what you wish to know, and the guardians will answer as best as they can. We have seen much and know the old songs, though the first singing be forgotten. |
| 23103 Our organization is our most important secret, dear one. If you ever happen to meet Galvarey, our leader here in the city, perhaps he will speak to you of it. |
| 23104 Who are you, then, and what do you do here? |
| 23105 Tell me about this place, then. |
| 23106 Perhaps. Thank you, I'll be on my way. |
| 23107 The guardians will attack any who are not Harpers, so I would stay off the second floor if I were you. They do not kill, however, unless it is necessary. |
| 23108 What do they do, then... say, to an intruder? Or a thief? |
| 23109 Could you tell me a little about the Harpers? |
| 23110 Tell me about yourself, then, and what you do here. |
| 23111 I see. I'll be on my way, then. |
| 23112 I do not know. That is for them to determine for themselves, I imagine. I have never asked them. |
| 23113 Hmm. Could you tell me about the Harpers, then? |
| 23114 Tell me about yourself, then, and what you do here. |
| 23115 Thanks for the information. I'll be on my way. |

| 23118 We have tried to retrieve a piece of the mystic rod to defeat the beholder... but we can do little without our eyes or the sight bestowed by the creature. |
| 23119 'Tis frustrating. No clan warrior am I without a set of eyes... Sassar be far better off. Talk to him again... help us gain this rod and stop the beholder! |
| 23120 Very well... I will talk to Sassar again about it. |
| 23121 I don't know... perhaps. |
| 23122 I have my own agenda. Out of my way. |
| 23123 You have the gratitude of an old dwarf, me friend. Anything you could do t' help us would be of great aid! |
| 23124 I am an old and proud dwarf, me friend, and I beg of ye to help us stop the beholder! I have no eyes, yet I will fight to me last breath to kill it! Please... |
| 23125 Argh, ye be a cold one to refuse us! If the beholder takes another life, it'll be on yer conscience! |
| 23126 Greater Wyvern |
| 23127 Here is where we guard the meeting. Here is where the membership may rest and be safe. Here is a Hold of the Harpers, one of many, one of few. |
| 23128 Greater Wyvern |
| 23129 You have our thanks, friend! We have been able to do only so much against the beholder without our eyes! Clangeddin watch over ye! |
| 23130 What manner of creature are you again? |
| 23131 There was a thief captured here not long ago. What happened to him? |
| 23132 What is there here that someone would want to steal? |
| 23133 How does someone become a Harper? |
| 23134 Thanks, I'll leave you alone now. |
| 23135 Oh! Oh my! I hear something! It is the cult coming to get us, oh I know it is! Sassar? |
| 23136 We are the past that guards the present. We harp as specters that others would find rest here. |
| 23137 Oh, please! Now that we have run from the cult, we are truly blinded! I have been helping Sassar research the rod, but we cannot retrieve it! |
| 23138 The cult will come for us... they'll throw us in the Pit of the Faithless! Please help us, kind <LADYLORD>! Speak to Sassar again and tell him you'll help us! |
| 23139 And this place? What is it? |

| 23154 Perhaps I will at that. |
| 23155 A thief? A thief that despoils Harper soil is forbidden from touching it again until penance given. They are above the soil, that they might see it and know loss. |
| 23156 I don't know. I will have to think about it. |
| 23157 I make my own way, and I do nobody's errands. Begone! |
| 23158 Oh, I'm so grateful! You have no idea what it is like to be blind and hunted! |
| 23159 Oh, please help us! You are the only one we can turn to... the only one the entire city can turn to! You would save so many! Ooooh! |
| 23160 You... you would turn us away? But how will we ever get the rod? Oh, the beholder will come first for it, I just know he will! |
| 23161 I am Zaelas, and I have been assisting Sassar in researching the rod below... I truly thank you for helping us! |
| 23162 As they take flight from the law, so we have given flight but nowhere to flee. A gilded cage for a form free to soar, that they might know loss in confinement. |
| 23163 Bow down to the Unseeing Eye... quake before his holy gaze! |
| 23164 We must fight against the faithless who refuse to cast off their unholy orbs and embrace the One True God! |
| 23165 The switch panel for this strange machine. The switch appears to be broken off and missing. |
| 23166 The switch for the engine is missing. You cannot turn it on. |
| 23167 The engine begins to hum quietly. |
| 23168 The engine is running. |

| 23174 The odd key fits perfectly in the lock. |
| 23175 The winepress appears to be in working order, but it needs power to begin pressing. |
| 23176 The press is ready, but you have no fruit to place in it. |
| 23177 No possessions held or worn, a form that carries its own feathered coat. To show that material things come and go, and that some do not need them at all. |
| 23178 You have your eyes, pilgrim. Cast them off and join us in divine exultation! |
| 23179 You place the grapes in the press and gather their juice in a bottle. |
| 23180 Be careful, pilgrim! The faithless are everywhere! |
| 23181 You have no further use for the anvil. |
| 23182 You have no further use for the winepress. |
| 23183 Hold! Identify yourself, pilgrim! |
| 23184 An ornate gong. The gong mallet is missing. |
| 23185 You strike the gong sharply with the mallet. The gong makes no sound, but you can sense a faint vibration. |
| 23186 I... am but a worshipper of the Unseeing Eye, on a task for Gaal. |
| 23187 I... am your death! I can take no more of this! |
| 23188 You have no further need of the gong. |
| 23189 "The eye is blind"? |
| 23190 Yes, Gaal has mentioned you. You would be better served to cast aside those evil orbs of yours, however. But Gaal has spoken... move along. |
| 23191 Brothers! Sisters! One of the faithless is among us! |
| 23192 Er... indeed. And the blindness is most holy. Move along, pilgrim. |
| 23193 Praise be to the Unseeing Eye! |
| 23194 The Eye is the true god who exists among us! I have witnessed his coming, and he is beautiful! |
| 23195 Many have gone to the lower places and attempted to retrieve the Holy Artifact for the Unseeing Eye... but they were found to be unfaithful. I hope I am selected next! I will not fail my god! |
| 23196 My former life no longer has any meaning. I have devoted myself utterly to the service of the True God. |
| 23197 You should be wary not to go into the great cave of the god, fellow believer. It is a dangerous place, even to the faithful! Only Gaal may go there. |
| 23198 The faithless who cannot endure the removal of their eyes are thrown into the Pit of the Faithless... there, the demons consume them and they writhe in pain forever! |
| 23199 'Ware the Pit of the Faithless! Those who are unworthy are thrown down to be consumed by the demons! |
| 23200 I... my eyes... they hurt... |
| 23201 Sing your praises to the Unseeing Eye! |
| 23202 The Eye is the true god who exists among us! All those who disbelieve shall be cast into the Pit! |
| 23203 Many have gone to the lower places and attempted to retrieve the Holy Artifact for the Unseeing Eye... but they were found to be unfaithful. I hope I am selected next! I will not fail my god! |

| 23225 A spectator and his chest are rarely parted I convinced the spectator beholder to let me open the chest, and I retrieved Sekolah's Tooth from inside. The beholder decided there is no point in guarding an empty box, so he has wandered off, pleased. Not a bad guy overall. |
| 23226 You do not have the wardstone that allows access to the lower levels. |
| 23227 You still have your orbs! I can sense it! Cast them aside, faithless one, and witness the truth! Believe! |
| 23228 I... my eyes... the pain... |
| 23229 Yes, pilgrim? |
| 23230 Er... nothing, thank you. |
| 23231 "The eye is blind"? |
| 23232 What is this pit you stand by? |
| 23233 You... Sassar sent you? Oh, thank the gods, I am relieved he is still alive! I am Tad... what do you need me to do? |
| 23234 He said that you would know a secret way to reach the small cave at the back of the beholder's lair. Can you help me find it? |
| 23235 You want to enter the beholder's lair? Well... you must go down the Pit of the Faithless. Below is a secret pathway to the small cave in the lair. |
| 23236 I don't know exactly where the passage is. Be wary of the creatures who feed upon the bodies of the faithless that are thrown down there. |
| 23237 You want me... to go down there? That is not much of a plan. |
| 23238 Are you sure this small cave in the lair will be safe? |
| 23239 Very well. Thank you for the assistance, Tad. |
| 23240 It is the Pit of the Faithless, pilgrim. The unworthy are thrown below to be consumed. Maintain your faith and be strong for the Unseeing Eye. |
| 23241 Err... "the eye is blind"? |
| 23242 I see... I'll be on my way, then. |
| 23243 Move along, then. |
| 23244 I'm afraid I can do little else to help you with that, my <LADYLORD>. I will pray for you to succeed. |
| 23245 There is calm here to steal, in the mistaken view that wealth accompanies peace of mind. The powerful come and go, and in their wake will follow the scavengers. |
| 23246 Are you sure this small cave in the lair will be safe? |
| 23247 Very well. Thank you for the assistance, Tad. |
| 23248 And this place again? What is it? |
| 23249 What manner of creatures are you? |
| 23250 There was a thief that may have come here. What happened to him? |
| 23251 How does someone become a Harper? |
| 23252 My dear Sime, Yours is a mission of some importance, as you well know. I regret sending you back to the isle with <CHARNAME>, but <PRO_HESHE> will need guidance in order to penetrate the asylum. Direct <PRO_HIMHER> to your contacts within the tavern. I believe Sanik is still alive and may be pliable by coin. Brute force is an option as well, though it is better targeted at the Cowled Wizard in residence on the isle. I am sure you will act effectively in all capacities. Aran Linvail |
| 23253 I will leave you alone now. |
| 23254 It should be safe, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... unless the Unseeing Eye is currently within. He plans a great mass soon, so if you hurry, you should be safe... |
| 23255 It is said that Harpers come from birth, that they are merely acknowledged when they join. A taint in the mind that lacks sense perhaps, but the desire to make things right in the long term. |
| 23256 I... see. And you want me to go down into that pit? That's not much of a plan. |
| 23257 That's not very reassuring. But thank you anyway, Tad. |
| 23258 Forget it, I'm not going down there. |
| 23259 Patience and works of good that help the balance: These are their own reward, but in time they may foster recognition of the like-minded. |
| 23260 Good luck, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! |
| 23261 You do not have the wardstone required to access the lower levels. |
| 23262 It is the only way. I do not know if Sassar has found any other way to combat the beholder... but I doubt it. I wish you good luck, my friend. |
| 23263 Forget it... there's no way I'm going down there. |
| 23264 There is no membership to seek; there is only your own path to follow. Harpers seek out their own in time. |
| 23265 Forget it, I'm not going down there. |
| 23266 And this place again? What is it to the Harpers? |
| 23267 You are unique to Harper service. What manner of creatures are you? |
| 23268 There was a thief captured here not long ago. What would the Harpers have done with him? |
| 23269 What is there here that someone would want to steal? |
| 23270 I am out of questions. I will leave you alone now. |
| 23271 A gnome came on the stage and began to perform some kind of magical act. |
| 23272 His magic fizzled, and everyone started laughing! I thought it was part of the act, so I laughed too! |
| 23273 Continue on thy path, and if thee should find favor in Kalah's eyes, then thou shalt surely be granted an audience. |
| 23274 And this place? What was it? |
| 23275 What manner of creature are you? |
| 23276 But what is there here that someone would want to steal? |
| 23277 How does someone become a Harper? |
| 23278 I will leave you alone to your musings. |
| 23279 Solitary, but never alone. The songs of the past serve to shorten the years for the ears that dare listen, and bring memory back of the friends departed. |
| 23280 Those who Harp are never truly alone. |
| 23281 You bear the mark of one and the same. Here you are welcome and may rest in safety. |

| 23306 The transformation and the dream I have encountered a door of some kind... which seems to me to be a chamber to somewhere further within my mind, or my soul. To pass it, I have had to sacrifice something of myself... I wonder if it shall be permanent. |
| 23307 Enge |
| 23308 Enge |
| 23309 Pleassse! Do not hurt usss! |
| 23310 Nothing much. I was just curious. Care to give me a tour? |
| 23311 You seem a happy chap. Been with the Harpers long? |
| 23312 Ahh, leave me be. |
| 23313 A bit young, aren't you? For this type of work, I mean. |
| 23314 There's not much else to see. The rest pales in comparison to the main room. I prefer the simpler surroundings of the old glade, but Galvarey knows best. |
| 23315 What about upstairs? Could I see up there? |
| 23316 This is not your usual kind of base? Don't you need a permanent home of some sorts to plan in? |
| 23317 Ahh, I see I'm not going to get anything out of you. Goodbye. |
| 23318 Oh, Boo, I can never return to Rashemen! I am proven unworthy! I am no man, and you are no hamster... we are lost! Oh the sorrow! |
| 23319 Besides, Boo would nae speak for a week if I picked on the tiny. I am not good with words, but I will fight by your side at a hat's drop. |
| 23320 Master Harper item |
| 23321 I have had friends with such attachments before, but never have I met someone so... absorbed in the relationship. Still, you seem all the better for it. |
| 23322 I could not do it, despite my hunt of all things evil. I don't think anyone suspects, but... but I am not the smartest person. |
| 23323 Boo is small, but is more than people believe. Evil will see you the same as Boo, and that will help you. You will make fine paladin, and I am proud to fight alongside. |
| 23324 You have descended to the depths of evil while I watched, and I am at fault for letting it get so far! With our ties severed, I will be free to exact the proper justice! Boo will have your eyes when next we meet. |
| 23325 Stone Golem |
| 23326 Stone Golem |
| 23327 Boo does not like goodbyes, but I know we will meet again. Until then, I will seek the small and fuzzy to console Boo. Where do you want to meet up again? |
| 23328 Quite some time, though I am still relatively new. I do what I can. |
| 23329 Well, if that is what you wish. Mind you don't step on the toes of the more experienced members. They don't tolerate such attitude for long. |
| 23330 What type of work? The Harpers do many things. Why, some of these old guys can spin a scheme to make your head spin. It's a wonder, it is... |
| 23331 I don't have much else to say. Best you move along. |
| 23332 Durlag's Pride |
| 23333 Durlag's Pride |
| 23334 ...sorry, Berinvar is giving me a rather nasty look. I'd better let you get on your way. |
| 23335 Sure, I don't see why no... err... actually, that probably wouldn't be a good idea. It wouldn't be safe for you because... you're not recognized as a Harper. |
| 23336 Oh, we're quite good at thinking on our feet. Usually we set up, do the job, and move on before anyone knows it. We would have done that here, but... ehh... |
| 23340 Cernd's child We encountered Igarol, an old friend of Cernd's. He bitterly informed Cernd that the wife he abandoned to become a druid had been carrying his child. Igarol wouldn't say what became of Cernd's wife, but did say that he should go to his old house in Waukeen's Promenade to find out more. |
| 23341 Dealing with the Trademeet genies The Shadow Thieves in Trademeet want the genies gone as well... bad for business. Itona said that Ihtafeer has likely replaced an old potion seller named Adratha who lives in a hut to the northeast of the druid grove. If I eliminate the rakshasa, they will consider us even. |
| 23342 And what do you do? You don't look much like a strong workhorse kind of man. |
| 23343 Care to let me see the place then? How about upstairs? |
| 23344 Interesting. Well, I'll be off. |
| 23345 Good talking to you. Be... be careful, friend. |
| 23346 Finding Irenicus in Hell Irenicus's death did not have the same effect as Bodhi's did, and my soul has not returned to me. Perhaps it was because of the power he gathered from the Tree of Life, or because Bodhi was undead. Regardless, Irenicus has fallen, dragging both my soul and myself inexorably behind. My party was left behind, though the energy was such that they might have been pulled with me if they had been weaker. I am now alone in what must be the Nine Hells, but I am certain Irenicus is here somewhere... and somehow, in this, I must find the mage and battle him once and for all to get my soul back. |
| 23351 Chapter 3 Throughout my time in Athkatla and my adventures in and around the city, I have seen hints of some great struggle between the Shadow Thieves and some other source. This other source approached me in the form of Bodhi... a woman of great power and evil rivaling her ambition. She revealed the nature of my benefactors under Gaelan Bayle to be none other than the Shadow Thieves themselves and offered to give me the same help that they did... but at a far lesser price. I have accepted Bodhi's offer, and she has taken me into her confidence for now. The true nature of her motivations has yet to be revealed, but it is obvious that Bodhi is on the winning side of this citywide conflict. As to the gold I have given her for her aid... I have the feeling that it is just the beginning of the final price I will eventually have to pay. But I will have my answers... I will find Imoen and Irenicus both. |

| 23363 What...? Yes... yes, these are the symbols that show we are Harpers. Ehh, one second. |
| 23364 Well, under certain circumstances we... uh... oh, look, Berinvar wants to speak with you. I'd better let you get going. |
| 23365 And death will come on wings of song, a song of long and winding guile, and in the end your end I wend, and in the end, a harp will smile! |
| 23366 My blade in his hide should answer you well enough. Here I did strike at his defenseless heart with a poison magical! |
| 23367 What in blazes is going on here?! Are you not his spy? |

| 23369 What? I demand to know what has happened here! |

| 23371 The hunt for Valygar Corthala The clerk at the government building mentioned something about a connection between Valygar Corthala and an ancient sorcerer named Lavok that existed five centuries ago. He wasn't sure of the story, but thought it might have something to do with the huge sphere in the Slums District. Certainly something that might interest the Cowled Wizards... |
| 23372 I knew it! The whole thing was a setup! |
| 23373 And you were the pawn herein! You delivered the conjured poison to his very heart; that it was on my blade is but a point of semantics. |
| 23374 Nay, keep yours at your sides lest you anger those who Harp. The curtain has fallen and the actors should peaceably wander home! |
| 23375 I have no quarrel with you. We made the path difficult, but not unknowable, and in the end this fool did perish, as well he should. |
| 23376 What was his crime? What is the reasoning for this murder? |
| 23377 Scimitar +1 |
| 23378 The scimitar, or "shamshir" as it was originally called, has a single-edged blade with a significant curve and is tapered to an elongated, sharp point. It is perhaps slower than other weapons of the same type, though it compensates by the amount of damage it is capable of. This particular weapon has been enhanced magically to complement the skill of the wielder.

| 23379 Murderer! You will pay for this! |
| 23380 So I was duped by both sides in this. Could neither side trust me? |
| 23381 Could you not have trusted me in this? I have a Harper in my party, for crying out loud! |
| 23382 Did you not think him strange? He was spying on the Harpers, an act that should make you question his alliances. You may not have known what he was, but we did. |
| 23383 A necromancer in the service of the Zhentarim, creating abominations for sale to the highest bidder. Far from their normal range, but not an unexpected enemy. |
| 23384 He could not lay low with such a flamboyant manner, and we knew of him quickly. You merely helped in the inevitable, and so you are free. |
| 23385 Measure your words carefully. We seek the true mind behind your actions. Did he not seem suspicious? Did you not know what he was? |
| 23386 No, they could not. He would not tell you the true extent of his plans, and we were better served allowing him to think he had won. Do you know what he was? |
| 23387 Only her presence kept you alive to question me. No doubt Jaheira would have tried the killing strike herself when you first met Xzar, but duty forbade it. |
| 23388 Begone, and hopefully your next dealings with the Harpers will be more pleasant. |
| 23389 Hsss! Why do you come amongst usss? I begsss you to leave! The sssmell... the sssmell of food makesss usss wild! |
| 23390 Tell us where the passage to the beholder lair is, and I'll be out of your hair quickly enough. |
| 23391 Tell me who you are and what this place is first. |
| 23392 I've never seen ghouls act like you do... what is going on here? |
| 23393 I'm not your food... and I'll not leave until after I've destroyed all you undead monstrosities! |
| 23394 You... wantsss to sssee the Great Feeder? |
| 23395 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Even though Nalia is dead, I've agreed to assist Captain Arat in retaking the keep. A secret entrance lies north of the palisade in the castle wall, and I should go within and find word of Lord de'Arnise or Lady Delcia and return. There are apparently yuan-ti and trolls within, and the trolls can only be permanently killed with fire or acid. |
| 23404 Escaping the asylum Now that I am of no further use, Bodhi has decided to kill me in her own good time, deciding on something of a hunt. I have been abandoned to the labyrinth beneath the asylum, which is apparently designed to test the minds of those who navigate it. As bait, Bodhi has told me that there is still a small chance that I might foil Irenicus. His plans will take time, and I might be able to take advantage of the small breathing room she has given me. A game of cat and mouse. |
| 23405 Grael |
| 23406 Grael |
| 23407 Inside the asylum A worker in the asylum, Lonk the Sane, told me that Imoen is here... she is just down the hall, although apparently she doesn't remember much of herself. He also mentioned that she almost killed other inmates and has a vicious streak... that doesn't sound like her at all... |
| 23408 This machinery seem somehow connected to the burial chamber to the north. There is a lever to pull, but it can only be operated with a key of some sort. |
| 23409 The hunt for Valygar Corthala A servant by the name of Hervo told me about wizards coming to see his master, Valygar Corthala. Apparently, they had demanded that he perform some service for them, something which upset Valygar. The servant heard a fight, and then the wizards came down and said that Valygar had committed murder. He has been missing ever since. |
| 23410 The... Great Feeder? If you're referring to the one who throws you down all the dead bodies then, yes, I suppose so. |
| 23413 Who is the Great Feeder? What are you talking about? |
| 23414 I... I am the mayor of thisss town. Theshal isss my name. We havesss built it, and we triesss to be good... triesss to be ssscivilized... |
| 23415 You... try to be civilized? But you feed on corpses! |
| 23416 I... see. Well, could you tell me where the passage to the beholder's lair above is, then? |
| 23417 Civilized? A bunch of ghouls? I think I'm going to kill you all now and end your little delusion! |
| 23418 We isss fed from the hole... they throwsss the meat to usss. We mussst eat! But we triesss not to eatsss the living! I triesss to teach the ghoulsss to be good, to have town likesss the living! |
| 23419 You consider this to be a civilized town? Who are you? |
| 23420 I regret that our pairing could not have been more fruitful, but I must express great distaste for the way this group is led. I take my leave, and I doubt we shall meet again. |
| 23421 And death will come on wings of song, a song of long and winding guile, and in the end your end I wend, and in the end, a harp will smile! |
| 23422 I do not wish to end our pairing before our tasks are done, but perhaps a rest is in order. Are you sure you want to go separate paths? |
| 23423 And now you too will fall to the Harpers! You are as irredeemable as this Zhentish desecrator! May your bones lay restless as his constructs did! |
| 23424 The drow summoning ritual Matron Mother Ardulace has decided to make use of me, collecting ingredients for something she didn't mention, perhaps some spell. I have been sent to find a master whip of the kuo-toa in the western part of the caverns and to return to the matron mother with its blood within three days. |
| 23425 The... the Great Feeder isss beyond the bridge, he isss... we goesss there to ssserve him and cleansss him... |
| 23426 ...the... sssmell... it isss too much! I cannot ssstand it any moresss! HsssSSS! |
| 23427 HsssSSS! Feed! We mussst FEED! |
| 23428 I... I don't think this group is doing as much good as it could, and I doubt I would rejoin if asked. I... I don't think I'll be seeing you again. |
| 23429 It's a cold an' dreary day when the Thumb can't extend a bit o' hospitality to his guests! Come, enter and be welcome at the Sea's Bounty. An' don't be mindin' the hook here... it be a little present from me seafarin' days. |
| 23430 Shall we continue on? Or has this ended our travels? |
| 23431 I take it your name is Thumb? |
| 23432 Our time together has been vile! When next we meet, it will not be under the guise of friendship! |
| 23433 What manner of place is this? |
| 23434 I will go as you bid, but we have done well together and I should like to rejoin when you have changed your mind. I will await you at the Copper Coronet. |
| 23435 I'd like a drink. |
| 23436 I've got to be going now. |
| 23437 Shall we reform as a group? I would enjoy your company on the road once more. |
| 23438 Let me guess... you were a pirate captain once? |
| 23439 Yes, Anomen, you complement the group nicely. |

| 23444 Inside the drow city I have found Solaufein at his quarters and battled him. I only need take his piwafwi cloak and return to Phaere's apartment. |
| 23445 Inside the drow city I have talked Solaufein into giving me his piwafwi cloak. With luck, he will not betray me and Phaere will never know the difference. It doesn't seem like he will... from the sounds of it, Solaufein is unlike other drow and actually expressed disgust with their ways. Perhaps he and I shall meet again. |
| 23446 Getting inside the palace in Suldanessellar I summoned the avatar of the elven god Rillifane Rallathil in order to get past Irenicus's seal on the palace gates. The avatar awakened the guardian spirits of the forest, which attacked the invading monsters throughout the city. It then told me that Irenicus's plan is to take the power of the Tree of Life for himself... both for power and revenge. Queen Ellesime is Rillifane's daughter and may be the only one who can stop the mage. Rillifane broke the seal on the palace gates... my way within is now clear. |
| 23447 Freeing Queen Ellesime I spoke with the projected image of Queen Ellesime. She is held near the center of the Tree of Life, caged with corruptive magics. Irenicus is absorbing the power of the Tree, draining it with three strange parasites that have been attached to the trunk in various places. Ellesime says that Irenicus is oblivious to everything around him and may be stopped if we act quickly. I must kill the parasites, reaching them by growing branches using nuts from the palace gardens. Once this is done, Ellesime will be freed from her cage and she can sever Irenicus's connection to the tree. |

| 23449 Baresh |
| 23450 No, not at this time. |
| 23451 Good, I could not bear this place much longer. |
| 23452 It be more proper to be callin' me "the" Thumb. Thumb alone just don't be soundin' right. Named after the hook here, naturally... |
| 23453 Then I shall wait here for now, but not indefinitely. This place grates on my nerves quite fiercely. |
| 23454 What manner of place is this? |
| 23455 Let me guess... you were a pirate captain once? |
| 23456 I'd like a drink. |
| 23457 I've got to be going now. |
| 23458 Chapter 2 I escaped from the mad maze that was Irenicus's dungeon only to encounter the wizard himself in a battle with assassins in black leather. Perhaps that was why I was able to escape as easily as I did... I do not know. The assassins seemed to be blaming the mage for something, to which Irenicus responded with anger and powerful magic. Indeed, part of the structure that surrounded him had collapsed from the might of his spells. As the battle ended, however, Imoen attacked Irenicus herself... and when strange wizards appeared to put an end to the magical conflict, they took both Imoen and Irenicus away. I am left in the city of Athkatla in Amn with few allies and enemies that I know nothing about. Imoen is missing... and the only place I can go to achieve answers is likely the same place she has been taken. I have encountered a man named Gaelan Bayle, who mysteriously seems to know who I am and sought me out. He has an offer of aid from an equally mysterious source. And one which comes with a very high price indeed... |
| 23460 Well, call me an idgit, but I always thought I had meself a tavern here. Got some rooms upstairs if ye need. Beats sleepin' it off in the street. |
| 23462 Berinvar |
| 23463 Berinvar |
| 23464 Ye have proven... to be not worth me time, so I'm sayin' so long with a smile. Mayhap we meet again... though a blade'll be me handshake! Good riddance! |
| 23465 Ah, I'd like me some time to put up me feet anyway. Find me when ye're through wandering and want to do some serious travel. I'll be at the Copper Coronet until then. |
| 23466 I take it your name is Thumb? |
| 23467 Let me guess... you were a pirate captain once? |
| 23468 I'd like a drink. |
| 23469 I've got to be going now. |
| 23470 The Thumb were ne'er a pirate! Sailed the exotic merchant routes in the west... retired here after I met the wee beastie now mounted o'er me bed. |

| 23473 Recipes and Ruminations |
| 23474 The Recipes and Ruminations of One Dradeel of Tethyr Formerly "A Lovely Bun-cake Brightens Anyone's Day" The recipes herein are mine own imagining, and thus ingredients are subject to change as per my whim. ************ Belladonna Bun-cake A simple little dish for a rainy afternoon. Cornflour, The eggs of a seabird, A spoon of the Whitecap fungus, The fruit of your choice for sweetening, One small measure of the belladonna root. Prepare as one would a breadloaf, though less time given to the rising. Bake in a well-stoked hearth under leaves for one turn of the hourglass. Notes to myself: Refrain from eating this ever again. Exceptionally poisonous. Remember the unfortunate week on the kitchen floor. ************ Dradeel's Vegetable Surprise A dish that turned out surprisingly edible. Not recommended as the primary meal every day for 300 years. Some disorientation may result. Place 2 cups of virgin Netherese olive oil and 1 large chopped onion in a large pot. Saute onions in oil over medium fire until onions begin to become clear. Add 2 chopped carrots and 2 chopped stalks of celery. Saute for an additional 3 minutes. Add 1 1/2 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Add 2 diced and peeled potatoes, 1 cup of white wine (I find that a Myth Rhynnian vintage is perfect), 1 bay leaf, 2 diced tomatoes, and chopped parsley to taste. Cook, covered, over medium-smallish fire until vegetables are almost tender. Add 2 cups of chopped spinach and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Serve hot and garnish with grated cheese. Note: For orcish version, replace all ingredients with turnips. ************ Curative Ingredients for the Dispelling of Lycanthropy. Mother's family recipe Notes: Mother's topical salve is a rather large failure. Research further with the following in mind: The creatures on this isle are unusual beyond their splitting into two factions. Theirs is an odd curse, one that defies the traditional remedies (such as the unfortunately dangerous muffins previous), though one is not without hope. The exotic origin of the original stock suggest a unique enchantment, not unlike that of the more widely known vampiric afflictions. The casual bite might be averted using such things as the belladonna flower, but an intentional infection could actually require the extermination of the leader of the clan. This is merely conjecture of course, as I have been unable to examine said leader. Despite my strange immunity, his is a strength that could still inflict a measure of serious damage upon my physical form. He and I have spoken on occasion, though his tolerance of me is no more resilient than mine is of him. Further notes to myself: Future offerings of peace to either of the wolven clans should not take the form of muffins of any sort. ************ The Bachelor's Crutch Noodles of quality and convenience. Ingredients: A measure of noodles. Boiling water Container Combine ingredients in container. Enjoy. Oh yes, enjoy. Notes to myself: Should probably be supplemented with something of nutritional value lest my bones become brittle as chalk. Perhaps the container? |

| 23481 Getting inside the palace in Suldanessellar I refused to hear Demin's plan, for I have no time to go about saving the elves. There must be another way inside the palace, despite what she says! Demin is too weak to go far, so she simply told me to return once I changed my mind. |
| 23482 Getting inside the palace in Suldanessellar Demin's plan is to summon the avatar of the elven god Rillifane. He will awaken the forest spirit guardians to save the elves, and he has the power to break the seal on the palace. Irenicus's creatures stole three relics from Rillifane's temple, and I must return them. It was a cup, a talisman, and a moonblade. The more powerful monsters will have them, including, Demin suspects, Irenicus's black dragon in the northwest. Once I gather the items, I must enter Rillifane's temple and place the relics on his statue... that should summon the avatar. I must move quickly before Irenicus completes whatever plan he has set in motion here. |
| 23485 Inside the drow city Phaere demands that I hunt down Solaufein and kill him. He will be within his quarters in the Male Fighters' Society, and once the deed is done, I am to return to Phaere's quarters with his piwafwi cloak. |
| 23486 Inside the drow city Phaere has something else in store for me, commanding that I meet her in her private quarters within the Female Fighters' Society tower. |
| 23489 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded With both Lord de'Arnise and Nalia dead, none of her family are left to carry on the keep... and without one of them alive, killing TorGal and routing his forces was a pointless victory. Fortunately, Nalia's body remains in my possession and I have been asked to raise her as soon as possible. |
| 23491 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Nalia noted that it is strange that there are no bodies to be found anywhere in the keep. There were numerous guards, as well as her father's loyal bodyguard, Glaicus, but none seem to be found anywhere. |
| 23492 Cernd's child Fennecia said that after the birth of Cernd's child, Galia had taken up with a cold noble named Deril. Deril didn't treat her well, and she died recently under strange circumstances. Deril, being a noble, is above investigation. The baby remains with Deril in his home, the southernmost mansion in the Government District. |
| 23493 The halls resonate with the sound of grinding stone. A door has opened somewhere nearby. |
| 23494 You are filled with a sudden sense of dread as the room fills with the sound of shifting stone. A door has sealed itself shut somewhere nearby. |
| 23495 This machine seems to be the power source for something in the room to the north. It looks as if some sort of wardstone is necessary to operate the device. |
| 23496 When you insert the bone wardstone into the machine's key slot, you feel the machine hum for a few moments and then quiet down. You are sure that something has been turned off. |

| 23500 Inside the drow city Phaere intends to join me and Solaufein in attacking a beholder that has been smuggling adamantite. The beholder has come to the drow city on a spelljammer ship off a platform in the southeast part of the city, and I am to meet Phaere and Solaufein there. |

| 23503 Finding Irenicus in Hell I encountered a demon that attempted to appeal to my ego to get me to face a terrible creature it claimed held the Tear of Bhaal. The more I questioned it, however, the more frustrated it got... until it finally admitted the creature might just give the Tear to me. I shall have to see for myself what manner of creature this is and if a battle is even necessary. |
| 23504 Getting inside the asylum Once we got inside the guild house, the courtesan warned me that I still wouldn't be able to wander about too much, even with the medallion. I was offered a sleeping draught, which could put the entire household to sleep if put into the food... although the courtesan had no idea how the cook might be convinced to do so. |
| 23506 Getting inside the palace in Suldanessellar High Priestess Demin informed me that Irenicus holds Queen Ellesime inside the palace, and that he has sealed the gates with his magic. The only way to get inside is to deal with the creatures ravaging the city. This is according to her, of course... there may be another way in, but she is determined to save her people. |
| 23508 Mazzy Fentan rescued from the Shade Lord I have released Mazzy from her cell in the Shade Lord's dungeon, but told her I do not need her help at the moment. She thanked me and stated that should I have need of her in the future, I could find her at her home in Trademeet. |
| 23510 The wooden structure lies over a deep pit. You cannot tell the exact depth of the pit, but when you toss a pebble into its maw, you never hear the stone hit the bottom. |
| 23511 Auto-Paused: Enemy Sighted |
| 23512 Getting inside the asylum Apparently, I was not able to pull off a convincing enough performance of insanity so that Desharik would put me in the asylum. He grew suspicious of me and refused. I will have to find another way to gain entrance now, it seems. |
| 23513 Chapter 7: Part 1 Elhan, the leader of the elven army, has filled in many pieces of the puzzle regarding Irenicus. The mage and his sister were once elves... and their ambition, their desire for power to rival the gods, led them to perform an atrocity that resulted in everything that was elven being stripped from them. Left to the longevity of a human, they each found different ways to extend their lives... Bodhi through vampirism, Irenicus through power... both plotting to regain entry into Suldanessellar so that they could have their revenge, as well as another chance to gain the power they desired. Irenicus had invaded Suldanessellar while the elven army busied itself with the drow... and then he cloaked the elven city in an illusion that hid it from anyone else. Elhan sent me to collect a mystic lantern, the Rhynn Lanthorn, that would dispel the illusion. The item was stolen from the elven holy site by Bodhi... resulting in a difficult confrontation that destroyed the vampire once and for all. Now all that remains to be dealt with is Irenicus. His plans must be stopped, and I must regain my soul or be damned to death... or worse... |
| 23514 Pause whenever the party spots hostile creatures. |
| 23516 enemy sighted |
| 23519 Inside the drow city The gnome patrol is dead. Solaufein has returned to Ust Natha, disgusted, and commanded that I search the bodies for the patrol leader's helmet and return to the tavern to meet with Phaere. |
| 23521 Getting inside the asylum Charisma alone was apparently enough to make my performance of insanity convincing, and Pirate Lord Desharik agreed to have me committed. I am to be admitted forthwith. Now to find out what has happened to Imoen and Irenicus! |
| 23523 Escaping the asylum Irenicus saw no point in fighting over the asylum now that the ritual on me has been completed. His "plans" can apparently be done anywhere, and so he left with my soul and Imoen's. He has released the assassins he had enspelled, making this a real madhouse. I must flee this place and find some way off of this island! |
| 23530 Getting inside the asylum I convinced one of the courtesans to tell me what happened to Claire. It seems Lady Galvena was not very impressed with the fact that Sanik was going to leave with her, and after having Sanik killed, she had Claire locked up within the guild house. |
| 23535 Coran and the wolfweres Safana and the wolfwere Lanfear obviously hatched their plan together. Safana would gain access to the bounty on my head, and Lanfear would gain Coran, whom she was in love with in her own strange fashion. Safana was killed by Lanfear in a rage... and then Lanfear murdered Coran when he professed love for me. A tragic, tragic occurrence, and perhaps someday I shall restore him. Oh, well, them's the breaks... |
| 23537 Finding Irenicus in Hell Irenicus's death did not have the same effect as Bodhi's did, and my soul has not returned to me. Perhaps it was because of the power he gathered from the Tree of Life, or because Bodhi was undead. Regardless, Irenicus has fallen, dragging both my soul and me inexorably behind. And such was the power that my party members that had fallen or were near death were drawn with us as well! Together we are in Hell, and I am certain Irenicus is somewhere near. Somehow, through all this, I feel I must find him and battle him once and for all to get my soul back. |

| 23545 Finish the leather armor begun by Rejiek Hidesman I have given the unfinished hide and the silver dragon's blood to Darcin Cole. He told me to return in four days to collect the finished armor. |
| 23547 Nalia abducted by Isaea Roenall A soldier named Khellor told me of how I might be able to expose Isaea's corruption and secure Nalia's release. A contact of Isaea's is named Barg and can be located at the docks in the Docks District. He also said I might look into Isaea's records at his home just northwest of the government building in the Government District. Anything I find I should report to Isaea's commander, Corgeig, who can be found in the government building itself. |
| 23550 Idle hands in Imnesvale Well, I didn't get the three kids in Imnesvale what they'd asked for. I don't need the grief I would get from their parents. I kept their money too, just to teach the brats a lesson. |
| 23551 Inside the planar sphere Ancan, one of the knights in the sphere, warned me of an oceanic room to the north where "fish walk as men," and that I should be wary if I go there. |
| 23554 Save game failed. Do you wish to quit? |

| 23557 Finding Irenicus in Hell I encountered a demon who seemed to perform some kind of test of character. It explained that there are two paths to a Tear of Bhaal... and both are paths of fear. It offered me a vile cloak of nymph's skin to protect me from the fear, saying the path would be easier, but I refused. |
| 23561 Valygar's family quest is over Valygar's quest is finally done. Lavok was not what he expected, and has caused the normally judgmental ranger to think deeply about what he has experienced. With the necromancer dead and the Cowled Wizards no longer hunting him, the ranger has gone on his own way. I doubt I shall see him again. |
| 23562 Finish the leather armor begun by Rejiek Hidesman I found the man mentioned in the letter I found at Rejiek's home and correctly named him as "Darcin Cole." He thinks I am Rejiek and will finish the skin armor if I bring him the blood of a silver dragon... wherever one might be. |

| 23584 You see a small bird flying through the branches of the aviary. You could catch it if you wish to. |
| 23585 Whatever the Thumb tells you about me, don't believe a word. |
| 23586 Zaelas |
| 23587 The Thumb's full of a lot of stories, but he was really just a fisherman. Got his hand cut off in a drunken brawl and won the bar in a bet, so I understand. |
| 23588 Zaelas |
| 23589 Catching the bird is surprisingly easy. When you reach for it, the bird flies straight to your hand and sits there calmly. |
| 23590 I don't know why we get so many young nobles slumming here... you'd think they'd be smart enough to keep out of the docks. |
| 23591 Shandalar's Cloak |
| 23592 This cloak was originally stolen from Shandalar by the powerful mage Semia, presumably for the powerful magics woven into the fabric. How it has come to be in your possession and the fate of Semia are complete mysteries, and ones not likely to be solved. Much like the exact workings of the cloak, which would remain a mystery even to a powerful mage. STATISTICS: Weight: 3 |
| 23593 If you'd like to order something, you should talk to the Thumb. |
| 23594 If he tries to sell you the apple blossom elven wine, don't let him. It's mine. |

| 23640 This stool be mighty uncomfortable. I ne'er know why they puts these in here. |
| 23641 Sailors an' thieves... Athkatla be full o' them both! |
| 23642 The Sea Bounty be a nice pub an' all, but if ye steps outside, ye be as likely to have yer pocket picked as not. |
| 23643 Renal the Bloodscalp be the word here in the docks, mate. Ye hears his name, ye stands up straight and pays yer respect, ye does. |
| 23644 I tells ya, I bets that the Thumb has some pirate treasure hidden for sure. |
| 23645 The Sea's Bounty be a fine an' grand place. *hic* Hmm... where's my coin purse? |
| 23646 It is good to see you again. I had hoped you would return. There's little here for me. Do you... do you still need another party member? |
| 23647 Mother and Father would never let me come here if they knew! Hee hee! |
| 23648 This tavern has its own rather rustic charm, doesn't it? I daresay it's worth the risk to come here. |
| 23649 Yes. |
| 23650 No. |
| 23651 Good. Not another word, then. |
| 23652 I'll be waiting here until you change your minds. |
| 23653 There's a lot of talk about the Docks District being run by the Shadow Thieves, but I think it's all a lot of unfounded rumor. |

| 23656 Someone told me once that there were Harpers here in the docks. How silly! Everyone knows that Harpers only associate with the rich! |
| 23657 There was a bard who was playing wonderfully ribald songs earlier. I think he passed out behind the bar. *sigh* |
| 23658 I simply do not know why my boyfriend brings me here. All I smell is ale and fish! |
| 23659 This place does have a certain naughty charm! My father would be irate if he saw me here! |
| 23660 I'll thank you not to stand too close. The other customers here smell bad enough. |
| 23661 I wonder who all those women are that walk around here at night. Do you think they clean the streets? |
| 23662 I bought a most wonderful necklace off a man in the street! For diamonds, it was a fabulous bargain! |
| 23663 The sailors around here are so handsome... but their language is simply atrocious! I cannot decide if this tavern is worth my time. |
| 23664 Copper Coronet Guard |
| 23665 Eeeek! Prebek! Intruders! |
| 23666 Copper Coronet Guard |
| 23667 No, Sanasha! Remember what happened the last time? Our master is testing us! |
| 23668 Testing us? Again? |
| 23669 Yes! You know that his cruelty knows no bounds! Why, just the other day he pulled three of my toenails for miscasting a cantrip! |
| 23670 Yes, I remember. Well, you may be right... perhaps we should ask them? |
| 23671 No! The master would skin us and do his strange little dance on our hides if we fail his test! Come on, let us attack! |
| 23672 Errr... all right. Foul intruders! We shall stop you for our master! |
| 23673 Yes! We shall stop you! |
| 23674 AAAAAHHHHH! |
| 23675 AAAAAHHHH! |
| 23676 You wouldn't know it, but the slums here be far safer than the docks. The thieves run the docks completely, they do. |
| 23677 The council keeps on raisin' taxes, not worryin' at all about us poor folk. Pretty soon I won't be able to afford a single ale. |
| 23678 I don't see why they don't just collect all the wizards, includin' them cowled ones, and dump 'em in a hole somewhere. |
| 23679 They say this be the City of Coin... and it be the last place ye want to be if ye have none. |
| 23680 You have t' be careful of them bloody dogs around here. Runnin' loose and chasing anyone down they please. |
| 23681 I don't know why they have one o' the guards here in the slums... he gets paid so much money he might as well be blind, aye? |
| 23682 I've heard more than a few stories about that there circus over on the promenade... but I don't believe a none o' it. |
| 23683 Oh, aye, ye're the one who saved that circus in the promenade. I heard o' ye. Buy me an ale? |
| 23684 Just a word o' caution... ye don't want to be dealin' too much with Lehtinan there. He's the evil sort, an' I don't use that term lightly. |
| 23685 Mmm. How are you doing over there, darling? The black lotus settling in, is it? |
| 23686 MmmMMMmmMmm. Just wonderfully, my love. |
| 23687 You should sit down and join us for a spell. Everybody's welcome. |
| 23688 Lehtinan is a wonderful, wonderful man. |
| 23689 We have black lotus here, delivered from the farthest ports to our own luxurious laps... |
| 23690 How do you feel, darling...? |
| 23691 Mmmm. Like I'm ready to float off into the clouds, my love... |
| 23692 Shandalar |

| 23694 This is the pleasure room... you're welcome to join us. Or sleep for a while. We all end up asleep here eventually... |
| 23695 ...MmmMmmm... my, but you are a pretty one. Would you care to join me, my pretty elf?... |
| 23696 I would sooner jump into a whirlpool than to sit here for endless hours, as you must surely do. |
| 23697 ...Care to sample some of our black lotus, my good friend?... |
| 23698 No thank you, good sir. I've... already attempted the experience once before. |
| 23699 I'm feeeeeeling very sleepy. Please don't talk to me. |
| 23700 ...hahaHAhahaHAHA... *giggle* |
| 23701 ...I think Lehtinan is the most DARLING man to make this place for us... |
| 23702 ...MMMmmm... all I can think of is those slaves in the pit... what was that gorgeous one's name? Hendak? MMmmm... |
| 23703 ...I've won twice today betting on Hendak, that fighting slave... wonderful man, that... |
| 23704 I wonder if they're going to start another fight soon? Hmmm... maybe I'll just take a quick nap instead... |
| 23705 This sort of place would normally be beneath me... but it has some of the most wonderful entertainments, you see. If you know how to ask for them. |

| 23713 Have you seen that huge sphere? How absolutely dreadful. I seem to remember something about it... some story about a wizard? Hm. Whatever. |

| 23760 I have no need of another companion at this point. |
| 23761 I am in need of another warrior. Join with us. |
| 23762 I don't believe you. Forget it. |
| 23763 I... well, you're the one that knows them! They're not going to kill you just because you're looking for the whereabouts of a spy... er... thief. Bah! |
| 23764 Fine. I will see what I can do. |
| 23765 And what would be my reward for this job? |
| 23766 Forget it. Not interested. |
| 23767 You may dislike me... whoever you are... but would you not even take a small risk for Montaron? A faultless soul, and likely being tortured even as we speak! |

| 23770 Well, what is to stop me from ending up the same as him, then? I'm not invading a house full of Harpers! |
| 23771 What kind of reward are you offering, then? |
| 23772 Fine, fine. I'll do what I can to find him. |
| 23773 Nope. I never liked Montaron either, come to think of it. |
| 23774 They killed both of my apprentices too, it seems. Bah! It will put my work behind interminably! How excruciatingly annoying! |

| 23785 Where exactly is this place? |
| 23786 Here, I can attempt to heal you with magic. |
| 23787 Very well, I will take you immediately. |
| 23788 I'm not about to help you. You can die, for all I care. |

| 23798 Daer'Ragh's Aura Cleansing |
| 23799 The use of magic causes the collection of magical residue around the caster, which prevents even the most skilled of casters from casting spells in quick succession. Daer'Ragh's Aura Cleansing removes this residue as the next spell begins, allowing for a greatly increased rate of spellcasting. |
| 23800 Daer'Ragh's Mental Agility |
| 23801 This spell quickens the thought processes of the caster, actually allowing <PRO_HIMHER> to cast spells quicker than normal. |
| 23802 Daer'Ragh's Physical Agility |
| 23803 This spell quickens the caster's reflexes, enabling faster and more effective combat. |

| 23910 There is little I can do here. Why even bother? |
| 23911 I'll not die just yet! Get away! |
| 23912 Fight! And I will speed your death! |

| 23919 You seem... interesting. I not used to such as you. |
| 23922 Well, you are a strange sight. |
| 23923 There will be no more of you here! |
| 23925 You are very different. I find that... interesting. |
| 23928 I'll talk to ye if ye want. |
| 23929 Well, hello there, young 'un. |
| 23930 You don't look like you're from around here. |
| 23931 Welcome to our little village. |
| 23932 Keep it quick, I ain't got time to dawdle. |
| 23933 You're new, I can tell. |
| 23934 What are ye bothering me for? |
| 23935 Oooh, a new face in town, eh? |
| 23936 You wish to speak? Go on, then. |
| 23937 Yes? You have something to say? |
| 23938 A little excitement around here lately. |
| 23939 Always willing to speak to new friends. |
| 23940 You have not heard and will not see. |
| 23941 Your time comes. Do not struggle when it does. |
| 23942 Leave here and do not return until your world ends. |
| 23943 We have no time for you. |
| 23944 You are... different. |
| 23945 I smell... outsider? |
| 23946 Speak and leave. I do not wish you around. |
| 23947 You are not like us. |
| 23948 Some will not trust you... some like me. |
| 23949 I say my mind: Go as soon as you can. |
| 23950 You are not like we are. |
| 23951 You are unlike. You do not belong. |
| 23952 Interesting. You are very different. |
| 23953 You are from away? Welcome, then. |
| 23954 I don't know you. You are... stranger. |
| 23955 I have not seen your like before. |
| 23956 Move out, men! The enemy is everywhere! |
| 23957 Move out, men! Watch for survivors and beware of magical illusions. |
| 23958 Yes, my liege. It shall be done as you say. |
| 23959 For the queen! |
| 23960 Slayers of children! The wrath of the righteous will take you this day! |
| 23961 Lay down your arms and live as slaves! |
| 23962 Your city is doomed! Slavery is preferable to death, is it not? |
| 23963 If indeed Irenicus shall rule, his kingdom shall have naught but death! |
| 23964 Never shall the children of Rillifane bow before you! Death to our enemies! |

| 23967 Death to the human scum! |
| 23968 The bodies of several black-hooded thieves litter the hallway, slaughtered by a massive release of magical energy. From the distant explosions that you can still hear, it seems as if whatever battle killed these men still rages. |

| 23984 The Captive Audience |
| 23985 Greagan's Harp: The Captive Audience This finely made harp is well known among the nomadic peoples of the east, though more for the infamy of its owner, Greagan of Lowhill. He was a bard of sorts, though less for his love of people than his hatred of hard work. He bade a mage relation construct this harp so its magic might disguise his utter lack of talent in the arts. Its power was greater than he had hoped, and he later turned to petty burglary using "his" music to captivate his victims. Greagan ultimately disappeared some years ago amidst rumors of a bardic college uncharacteristically moved to violence. The harp still functions, though any self-respecting troubadour would reserve its use for the most dire of circumstances. The magic seems to be waning as well, and perhaps this is one item best lost to time. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Domination (Save vs. Spell negates, -2 penalty) Range: 25 ft.

| 24001 You! Are you for hire? As a mercenary, I mean? You look capable and hearty, like you've had formal training. |
| 24002 Ho, noble friends! I beg your assistance in this evil place. |
| 24003 Well met! Who addresses me? |
| 24004 A halfling lass? What business do you have in so dangerous a setting as this? |
| 24005 You'll get no charity from me! Rot in your prison for all that I care! |
| 24006 Your Grace, I am Mazzy Fentan, a valiant servant of justice and righteousness. As you can see, I could use your assistance. |
| 24007 And you shall have it. How did you come to be here? |
| 24008 Obviously, you're not to be trusted. Even if you speak the truth, you deserve your fate. |
| 24009 How do we know that you speak the truth? You could be one of the shadows laying a trap. |
| 24010 Lass indeed! I am a warrior! My business is to make this setting less dangerous by destroying the evil that festers within. |
| 24011 A blunder, I admit. Who is it that I speak to? |
| 24012 Well met, <CHARNAME>. I trust that, by your being here, you've defeated the Shade Lord. |
| 24013 Enough of this. I've no time to listen to you jabber. |
| 24014 I should rather rot in this cage than suffer dishonor by consorting with such as you. I expect you'll join my ill-fated companions in a short time. |
| 24015 Enjoy your cage, little one. |
| 24016 I am an adventurer. I led my party here to discover the source of the evil that has befallen the area, which became abundantly clear when it slaughtered my companions at the Shadow Altar. |
| 24017 You have fought my jailors, the shadows. Those unfortunate souls are the remnants of live victims who have been perverted by the power of the dark fiend, the Shade Lord. |
| 24018 What do you imply, halfling? |
| 24019 Enjoy your cage, little one. |
| 24020 Why is it here, and what does it want? |
| 24021 A fanciful tale. I believe only what I see with my own eyes. |
| 24022 Contemptuous oaf! Have you no honor? If this is to be my fate, then don't envenom it further with your presence. |
| 24023 The shadows haven't the intelligence for such trickery. Their evil master is more direct. If that does not suffice, then I can only say that I have never broken my word. |
| 24024 I suppose that will have to do. How did you come to be here? |
| 24025 I do not believe you, trickster! |
| 24026 I imply that you will become unwilling minions of the Shade Lord, just like my former companions. |
| 24027 What happened to them? |
| 24028 You cannot trick me into freeing you. |
| 24029 It is here to dominate and to conquer. This Shade Lord seems to feed on the corruption of souls. If it is not stopped, it will continue to build its army of shadows. |
| 24030 We are here to get rid of the Shade Lord. Why don't you tell us of your attempt? |
| 24031 It is your right to be skeptical. You shall not cling to your disbelief for long. |
| 24032 What information can you give us about this "Shade Lord"? |
| 24033 How did you come to be alone? What happened to your companions? |
| 24034 We fought our way through this ruin to find the Shade Lord at his altar. My party confronted and attacked him to no avail, my dead companions turned into shades themselves. |
| 24035 I realized before long that the altar somehow fueled the Shade Lord's magic. I struggled towards it too late and was captured. It seems the Shade Lord had different plans for me. |
| 24036 The Shade Lord and his altar must be destroyed. I am uninjured and ready to fight with you if you will have me. |
| 24037 Perhaps it is best if we face it alone. We will free you and wish you well, however. |
| 24038 We could use a valiant sword arm, if you wish to join us. |
| 24039 I think not. You can stay in your cage where you belong. |
| 24040 Thank you for your assistance. Should you ever need a brave companion, I reside in Trademeet with my family. Ask for me at the tavern. I am well known. Fare thee well. |
| 24041 Have you had a change of heart? Will you release me now? |
| 24042 No. You are one halfling who will not roam free. |
| 24043 Yes, you are free to go. |
| 24044 We have indeed defeated him. Did your journey home go well? |
| 24045 The creature is dead, no thanks to you. |
| 24046 I am pleased to travel with you. |
| 24047 The journey went well, though the thought of my slain companions weighed heavy on me. It is good to know that you've avenged their foul end. |
| 24048 It is done, though the vengeance is empty... Patrick and my companions had to serve in death as slaves to the Shade Lord. |
| 24049 Aye, it would. This altar was once a place of light; so shall it be again. Let us make this a memorial for these fine and noble friends. |
| 24050 You've a spiteful soul, <CHARNAME>. I'll go no further in this group. Leave me be. I have important work to accomplish, and I'll not have it soiled with your presence. |
| 24051 They died with honor regardless of what the Shade Lord did to them afterwards. |
| 24052 Only the finest are meant to survive. These brave companions of yours didn't survive because they were weak. |
| 24053 So you have returned. I have trouble seeing why you would do so. Your callous disregard for my sister's life does not endear you to me. |
| 24054 Then do so. |
| 24055 Heartless wretch! |
| 24056 We came to apologize for being insensitive. I came to ask you to rejoin my party. |
| 24057 It matters not to me if I endear myself to you. |
| 24058 Hello, I am Festule the Alchemist. I hear your friend is fighting Gorf the Squisher. I'm sure she's strong, but without help, she will surely be squished. |
| 24059 Try hearing this: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! |
| 24060 Exactly what kind of assistance would she need? |
| 24061 As you will. I was only being friendly. |
| 24062 Well, as it happens, I traffic in pharmaceuticals. Your miniature warrior could use a bit of chemical assistance. |
| 24063 I hardly think that I should drug poor Mazzy! |
| 24064 Are you suggesting that we cheat? |
| 24065 Perhaps she could use a bit of chemical backing. But where could I find such help...? |
| 24066 No! Of course not! But Gorf, on the other hand... |
| 24067 I see. What did you have in mind? |
| 24068 Surely you don't suggest that we cheat? |
| 24069 I'm not interested, scum! Get out of my sight before I get the urge to rough you up. |
| 24070 No! But suppose a turnip farmer off to market is beset by a bandit. This farmer hurls turnips at the bandit's groin. You wouldn't call that cheating. |
| 24071 No, I suppose not. |
| 24072 Yes, I would. As they say, "It is better to die than to save your life with turnip." |
| 24073 Some unsavory alchemists make drugs that duplicate the feeling of drunkenness. Dropped in mead, it makes the recipient instantly drunk... |
| 24074 Go on. |
| 24075 Now suppose there is an innocent halfling who just wanted to pit-fight. But an ogre stood in her way. It's not cheating to even up the odds a bit, is it? |
| 24076 But it is cheating! It's called the introduction of a foreign object. |
| 24077 If you put it that way, I suppose not. What did you have in mind? |
| 24078 They don't really say that, do they? |
| 24079 No. |
| 24080 I just MAY have some of said drug in my cloak pocket. If only I had some gold to dislodge it. It's quite a tight fit in there. |
| 24081 How much gold would it take to "loosen" the aforementioned bottle? |
| 24082 Sorry, Festule. I don't have any money to spend. |
| 24083 It's not foreign! It's made in the backroom of this very establishment, or, uh, so I've heard. |
| 24084 Well, why didn't you say so? Let's get down to business. What did you have in mind? |
| 24085 I can't be a party to cheating. |
| 24086 You are beyond hope, my friend. |
| 24087 It's a big bottle. I'd guess that 500 gold would do it. |
| 24088 Are you crazy? 500 gold? There is no way that I'll pay such a ridiculous price. |
| 24089 It can't be that big. I'm sure that if we pulled at it, 300 gold would suffice. |
| 24090 I seem to be little low on funds today. Couldn't we work something out? |
| 24091 Why don't you return when you've made some money? Perhaps you could pit-fight for the funds. Surly pays a bit to the winners of the dog fights. |
| 24092 If you're really strong, maybe 400 gold could dislodge it. |
| 24093 Agreed. |
| 24094 That's a bit too steep. |
| 24095 Nice to do business with you. Good luck slipping the drug to Gorf. Perhaps his girl, Bunkin, would be the route to employ. |
| 24096 Do you have the money now? |
| 24097 Not yet. |
| 24098 Yes, but we need to negotiate the price. |
| 24099 I couldn't help but hear your little friend plans to fight Gorf the Invincible. I'm sure she's very strong, but without assistance, she will surely be squished. |
| 24100 Maybe you can't help hearing this: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! |
| 24101 Exactly what kind of assistance would she need? |
| 24102 Rather than jabbering to me, you should be looking into slipping that drug to Gorf. Perhaps his girl, Bunkin, would be the route to employ. |
| 24103 I can do nothing more to assist you. |
| 24104 What you want with Bunkin? Be quick 'cuz Bunkin busy lookin' pretty. |
| 24105 We want you to drug Gorf so that he won't pummel our little friend Mazzy. |
| 24106 We merely stopped by to admire your beauty. |
| 24107 I want nothing from you. |
| 24108 We merely stopped by to admire your beauty. |
| 24109 You cheat! No cheatin' allowed! I'm gonna tell the pit manager. Not gonna slip my man no drugs! |
| 24110 Oh, ye're so nice! Gorf never compliments me. 'Cept when he's drunk. |
| 24111 Well, Bunkin, maybe he just doesn't have the right kind of brain. He is an ogre after all. I think I can help you. |
| 24112 Why should he? He's a big stupid oaf. |
| 24113 You's the one who came to talk to me. |
| 24114 Thanks... wait... you don't really mean it. |
| 24115 Of course I do. How can I prove it to you? |
| 24116 You're right. I don't. |
| 24117 Shut up and listen! You're gonna slip this drug in Gorf's ale or I'll break your scrawny neck! |
| 24118 You can make Gorf nicer? |
| 24119 I've seen that he doesn't show you enough respect. I have a love potion here. If you pour the potion into his ale when he arrives tonight, I guarantee that he'll be nice. |
| 24120 Ya don't have to be all mean. Go away. |
| 24121 When someone thinks a girl's pretty, they buy her a nice present. The bartender has a nice gold necklace. |
| 24122 Your loveliness only lacks the proper ornament. Allow me to purchase this bauble and return to you. |
| 24123 Hey, you're crazy if you think I'm going to waste gold on you. |
| 24124 He'll really be nice? Like when he's drunk? |
| 24125 Uh, almost exactly like he's drunk, to be truthful. |
| 24126 I'll be here. |
| 24127 Thanks, friend. I'll pour it in his cup right now. |
| 24128 Leave me alone. Gorf said he's be here after the seventh hour at night... you can talk to him then if you want. |
| 24129 If you want me ta trust you, ya gotta bring me a gold necklace. |
| 24130 Did ya buy me a gift? |
| 24131 Here you are. A beautiful necklace for a beautiful lady! |
| 24132 No, I haven't bought it yet. |
| 24133 It was nice of ya to give me that love potion. |
| 24134 I might be able to help you. Calm down and tell me what's wrong. |
| 24135 Who are we to be fighting, and why are they attacking your land? |
| 24136 Quit your babbling and tell me what your problem is. |
| 24137 This rabble? Their kind? What do you mean by this? |
| 24138 You there! You look like you've... killed... before. Are you mercenaries? Capable mercenaries? No offense, but I need some help, and it requires a harsh touch. |
| 24139 I can handle myself pretty well. Calm down and tell me what's wrong. |
| 24140 No, I don't think I can help you in this. You will have to find someone else. |
| 24141 So tell me what you need, and make it quick! |
| 24142 What will we be facing? I will need to know their numbers and their strength. |
| 24143 Yes, yes, I can probably help you, but I require ample reward for my efforts. |
| 24144 The local peasantry? All you have given them? What do you mean? |
| 24145 Sorry, but I don't have time to speak to you right now. |
| 24146 To be honest, I don't care about your useless friends. I killed the Shade Lord only for the joy of it. |
| 24147 Perhaps I can be of assistance, but my time is a valuable commodity. |
| 24148 Sorry, I don't have the time to help you. |
| 24149 I haven't got time to speak with you now. Perhaps later. |
| 24150 That is a cruel thing to say. Perhaps it is better that I did not join you back in that evil cave. If this was a social visit, then it has ended. Begone from my abode! |
| 24151 Many souls were avenged when we destroyed the Shade Lord. I only wish that we could have saved them from his grasp. That is the nature of this life. It is quite tragic at times. What do you do now? |
| 24152 At present, I am on sabbatical. I find myself missing the road, and I long again for adventure. Does your party require another sword arm? |
| 24153 Not at this time, good halfling. Though, should we have need, we shall surely call on you. |
| 24154 I would be pleased to have you join my party. |
| 24155 You have returned, I see. What is it that you need? |
| 24156 We need nothing at this time. |
| 24157 I should be honored to have you join my party. |
| 24158 Very well. What will we be facing? I need to know some hard facts about the enemy. |
| 24159 I do grow weary of being about the house, and I long to adventure once more. Should you require me in the future, I shall be here. |
| 24160 Earlier, what exactly did you mean by "your kind"? |
| 24161 In truth, since we last met, I have considered again raising up a party of my own, though it is a terrible bother. I shall come with you, then. |
| 24162 That is a cruel thing to say. It would have done no good to face him without your support. Perhaps it is better that I did not join you back in that evil cave. If this was a social visit, then it has ended. Begone from my abode! |
| 24163 I apologize, but I cannot help you. You will have to get someone else. |
| 24164 A truly evil fate. I would that I could honor their restless souls... perhaps it would bring them some measure of peace. They were good people who fought always for justice. |
| 24165 I need a strong hand to help me. My land is under siege, and none of this rabble will aid me! And after all I've done for their kind, too! Please, can you assist me? |
| 24166 I will help, but I will need to know exactly what is going on. Who are we fighting and why? |
| 24167 Please, save your wrath for the task ahead. My family's land is under siege, and none of the local peasantry will help. And after all I have given them too! Can you help? |
| 24168 Don't worry; my family is wealthy enough. Too much so, in my opinion. But talk like this is premature, as there will be nothing left if we do not hurry! |
| 24169 You don't even know what I ask, but you wish to know the payment? I will reward you, but we must hurry. I cannot guarantee it if my land is looted. Will you help? |
| 24170 Very well. It shall be as if I never met you. |
| 24171 The god that this altar stood for is long dead. Would it not make a fine memorial to your fallen comrades? We could make an inscription. |
| 24172 There is no time for the dead. We have more important matters to attend to. |
| 24173 My lost companions... my boon friends. May your souls rest in peace. I shall always carry your courage and your honor with me. I shall strike down evil in your name! |
| 24174 It is something that I must do. Those fallen have been my good companions for years. We must offer them respect, or we are no better than the beasts we fight. |
| 24175 You are correct, Mazzy. I spoke in haste. They died with honor. It is unfitting that their souls should become shadows and exist only to destroy life. |
| 24176 The fact that they are dead proves that they had not the strength to deserve life. |
| 24177 Earlier, what exactly did you mean by "your kind"? |
| 24178 No, I have no interest in this. I am sorry, but you must get someone else. |
| 24179 Ahh, get someone else to be your stooge. I have no interest in you. |
| 24180 I have no interest in this. Take your problems to someone who cares. |
| 24181 Ahh, take your whining and get out of here. I care not a whit for you or your family's land. |
| 24182 I will not bother with this; it is not worth my time. Get out of my sight. |
| 24183 Well, nothing really. Some people are just more privileged than others. It is not my fault, but I do my part to help those beneath me. You'd think they would be grateful. |
| 24184 But... no, there is no point in arguing. Very well, but I hope you reconsider. Who knows what horrors are being visited upon my poor family even as we speak? |
| 24185 You are very cruel. My family will be paupers... think of the servants we employ. We are kind, and I have given more than my share to those less fortunate. |
| 24186 It sounds like you think your wealth makes you a better person than others. |
| 24187 You'd think they would jump to help their betters. Such disloyalty is a trademark of the lesser peoples. |
| 24188 I will try and help, but I need to know the enemy. What are their strengths and numbers? |
| 24189 Sorry, but I cannot help at this time. My apologies. |
| 24190 I have no interest in helping you or your family. Get someone else. |
| 24191 They have no respect for the hard life that poor classes endure. I help when I can, but I won't be able to in the future if my lands are sacked. Please, will you help? |
| 24192 I would not have thought you so snobbish, but you certainly act it. I... I guess I cannot be choosy. I need help wherever I can get it. Will you help me? |
| 24193 "In a blaze of trumpets, with wicked blades held high, thus came ye fates of chaos to let this sparrow fly!" |
| 24194 Slice your tongue on your own sharp words, poet. We're doing someone a favor, nothing more. |
| 24195 I risk my neck for a favor, save you from some kind of enchanted slavery... and the first thing you think of is bad poetry?! |
| 24196 And fly you shall, my friend. Raelis Shai has seen to it. |
| 24197 A little eager to escape, aren't you? I had actually been thinking that I might just leave you here to rot... |
| 24198 Haha! I like you, whoever you are. Now what is this favor you speak of, and for whom do you perform it? |
| 24199 I don't believe that's any of your business... Now get out of here; our job is done. |
| 24200 Let's just say that your friend, Raelis Shai, is very convincing. |
| 24201 Your friend, Raelis Shai, was worried about you and asked for our assistance. |
| 24202 Some secrets are for keeping, Haer'Dalis. |
| 24203 It should be on Mekrath's altar... Should you retrieve it, I will be with my mistress at the playhouse under the Five Flagons, waiting anxiously for its return. May we meet again... |
| 24204 A bard to sing my praises? My dear Haer'Dalis, how could I refuse? |
| 24205 I apologize for not helping your sister. I would like you to rejoin my party. |
| 24206 Then you have no business being here. Begone! |
| 24207 I will leave. |
| 24208 Do not order me about like a lapdog. I'm not leaving. |
| 24209 But enough of this repartee. If you be with Raelis, then we have work to do. Will you let me join with you that we might each travel in good company? |
| 24210 If you wish me to return to your party, you shall have to have a reputation as a righteous person. You are not known to be righteous at present. |
| 24211 I accept your apology, and I shall return to your party, though I caution you against betraying my trust for a second time. |
| 24212 There is always room for the talents of a fine companion. |
| 24213 And tear you from your troupe, Haer'Dalis? The critics would drag me through the coals for stealing such a fine talent. |
| 24214 Don't push it. As I said, I'm here to do a job, nothing more. |
| 24215 Come now, there is a very special gem hidden in the altar of this wizard's lair. Mekrath took it from me, and I must have it back. |
| 24216 Slow down, Danno. What's happened? How is Pala hurt? |
| 24217 Danno, you fool, you need no potion! She's always loved you. We must go to her. Where is she? |
| 24218 Please, <CHARNAME>, we must go to my mother's home. |
| 24219 I've no time to be sidetracked by your petty personal problems. |
| 24220 Why should we? Who are these halflings, Pala and Danno? |
| 24221 Cruel lout! You dishonor our friendship. |
| 24222 Pala is my sister, and Danno is her betrothed. She may be dying; we must go to her. |
| 24223 We shall accompany you. Lead on. |
| 24224 I haven't enough time. We have other concerns. |
| 24225 Now... in the altar of this wizard's lair is a very important gem. Our dear friend Mekrath took it from me, and I must have it back. Come, let us look for it and return to Raelis as soon as possible. |
| 24226 I ask of you one favor, though. Mekrath took a gem from me and hid it in the altar in this lair. Please, I would offer the world if you only return it to me at the theater... Much depends on it. |
| 24227 Perhaps I can. I will need to know my enemy, however. |
| 24228 No, I do not have the time right now. I am sorry. |
| 24229 Bah! I will not waste my time on you. Get out of my sight. |
| 24230 I will see if I can. I will need to know more about what is happening. |
| 24231 I fear I cannot. You will have to get someone else. |
| 24232 Get lost. I have far more important things to do than worry about you. |
| 24233 Aunty doesn't like me leaving at night, but how else can I donate to the poor and not be noticed? They have pride too, and... I really shouldn't be seen with them. |
| 24234 I must return to Raelis, but please... find that gem and bring it to me there. Both she and I shall be greatly in your debt. |
| 24235 You can travel in the party with me. I'm sure you will be a useful addition. |
| 24236 I don't think I need an extra hand right now. I will meet you there if you point the way. |
| 24237 No, I think I've changed my mind. You'll have to get someone else. |
| 24238 You are with Raelis? Well, well, well... my hide might yet be saved. Come, let me join with you and we shall be done with the foul humors of this place. |
| 24239 You may join me if you wish, but you'll need more than poetry to survive. I'll not be responsible for an actor's foolish death. |
| 24240 Wonderful! Do you help people often? I have often wanted to get away from the keep and Aunty's rules. She doesn't understand that I just want to help people. |
| 24241 If you care to join, then join, but I'm not here to babysit Raelis's whelps. |
| 24242 I was hired to rescue you, and I doubt Raelis would be pleased to find I'd stolen you into my own fold. |
| 24243 Very well, but if you reconsider, I've always wanted to travel. Do you help other people often? I really like helping the less fortunate. I am told they work so hard. |
| 24244 Please, think of the servants that will be displaced without us, or the commoners that reside on our lands. Will you help me? |
| 24245 There you are! I've been waiting positively AGES for you. I did a little scouting around, and the outer walls have been breached. That means they are inside, and we'll have a tough time getting them out. |
| 24246 I've practiced! I'm going to be someone that gives to the poor and takes from the rich, I am. We've got lots to spare... and it's fun, too. |
| 24247 Whatever the reason, they are here. I am sorry, but I don't know numbers or tactics; I only know that we must get rid of them... we must rescue my family, that is all. |
| 24248 You'll have to sneak in and rescue someone. Perhaps... oh, what's his name... Daleson, the servant that tended the stables. He might be in there. Will you find him? |
| 24249 I will do what I can to aid you, but I must know more of the enemy. |
| 24250 Not yetâ€â€I cannot help you yet. I apologize, but you will have to wait. |
| 24251 I had no interest in you before, and I have no interest in you now. |
| 24252 We should go soon. Waiting will just make it worse. I'll try to lead once we are inside. After we find Daleson, we can concentrate on the trolls. |
| 24253 Then I welcome you into the group. Let's go. |
| 24254 No, I prefer to keep you out of harm's way. I will return shortly. Wait here. |
| 24255 I think it's about time you told me just who we are to fight. |
| 24256 Enough stalling. I need to know who we are fighting, and I need to know now! |
| 24257 I can stumble no further blind as I am. I must know who we are up against. |
| 24258 We need more information. If we march through the front door, it will be a slaughter. |
| 24259 We don't know how many they have, how smart they are, or even if there is anyone left alive to rescue. |
| 24260 I don't think this is what I signed on for. You'll have to get someone else to help. |
| 24261 Perhaps... oh, what's his name... Daleson! He worked in the stables. They may have left him to tend the animals for food. He would know! He might be inside. |
| 24262 Very well, but I ain't going to risk my neck. I need a safe way in. |
| 24263 I prefer a direct assault to sneaking around. Only cowards avoid a fight! |
| 24264 Is there a safe way inside? I don't want to have to knock on the front door. |
| 24265 I would prefer a direct assault. Hiding in the shadows seems a bit cowardly. |
| 24266 That sounds reasonable. I shall look for him while I scout the layout of the place. |
| 24267 No, I think I've changed my mind. I'm not staying for your little war. |
| 24268 You don't have to go through the front lines. Approach north of the palisade. There is a secret door that allows entry along the base of the keep wall. |
| 24269 But you have come all this way... No, if you do not wish to help, then I will not ingratiate myself further. I see quite enough of that from the nobles around here. |
| 24270 Is it cowardly to live through the day? You can certainly storm the front gates if you like, but what happens to my family when the trolls realize you are there? |
| 24271 It is best that you not assault the front lines. If you approach from the west, you can sneak through a secret door that will allow entry. |
| 24272 <CHARNAME>, while you have been stumbling about, leading us to everywhere but a cure, my sister has been dying of poison. You have proven to be a false and dishonorable friend. |
| 24273 It has not been deliberate, Mazzy. We have many obligations and concerns. We have not meant any offense. |
| 24274 Invocation Dispelled |
| 24275 Do not suppose to tell me what my obligations should be. |
| 24276 Please, we must solve this problem immediately or I shall have to leave your party and take care of it myself. |
| 24277 I shall cease to tell you of your obligations when you begin to take them seriously. I can no longer travel with such as you. Goodbye. |
| 24278 You must understand that my obligation must be my sister's life. Her illness is serious and requires immediate attention. I shall do so since you have not been able to. Goodbye. |
| 24279 Oh, Mazzy! Thank the gods that I've found you! I've hurt Pala! |
| 24280 You have to save her! I didn't mean to do it. I bought a love potion from Wallace the peddler at the market square. I just wanted her to love me. She only had a sip of it, and she collapsed. |
| 24281 She is with your mother, Mazzy. How was I to know it was poison? Oh, please hurry! I will meet you in Trademeet. |
| 24282 This is it... wait, there's a palisade here? Then our guards fell back and... the keep has fallen. It will be hard to save now. The palisade is to the west. |
| 24283 Maybe they were driven here by elves, or by the new settlements south of Tethyr. I... I don't know their numbers, I only know we must rescue my family. |
| 24284 You'll have to sneak in and rescue someone, anyone. Perhaps... Daleson! Daleson from the stables might be alive! Will you find him? |
| 24285 I know. Wait! Daleson wouldn't have posed a threat. They may have left him to tend the animals for food. He might know numbers and strengths. |
| 24286 Enter north of the palisade, through a secret door along the wall of the keep. I used it to sneak out at night. Aunty never approved, but I didn't care. |
| 24287 But... but you... No, I will not argue pointlessly. You think much like the nobles around here. I had thought you better than that. Go. I'll do it myself. |
| 24288 Is it cowardly to live through the day? We can storm the front gates if you like, but what happens when the trolls realize we are there? |
| 24289 It is best to avoid a frontal assault. There is a secret door north of the palisade. I use it occasionally when I want to help the peasantry. |
| 24290 I think you should tell me just what we are up against. |
| 24291 Damn! Okay, I need to know what we are up against, and I need to know now! |
| 24292 I can't go another step without knowing who we face. I will not go blind into this. |
| 24293 We need more information. A frontal assault would be a slaughter. |
| 24294 We don't know how many they have, or even if there is anyone left alive to rescue. |
| 24295 I don't think this is what I signed on for. You'll have to get someone else to help. |
| 24296 Very well, but I ain't going to risk my neck. I need a safe way in. |
| 24297 I prefer a direct assault to sneaking around. Only cowards avoid a fight! |
| 24298 No, I think I've changed my mind. I'm not staying for your little war. |
| 24299 Perhaps there is a safe way inside? I don't want to have to knock on the front door. |
| 24300 I would prefer a direct assault to all this skulduggery. Hiding in the shadows seems a bit cowardly. |
| 24301 That sounds reasonable. I shall look for him while I scout the layout of the place. |
| 24302 Not a chance in all the Hells. I am more than capable of doing this without you. |
| 24303 Mazzy, I'm so happy you returned! Pala's been poisoned by the old gnome peddler. |
| 24304 I've no clue, Mazzy. You need to find him. Perhaps there is yet hope for Pala. |
| 24305 I believe in you, daughter. Go now, and save Pala. May the gods be with you. |
| 24306 Mother, what happened? |
| 24307 Wallace? Why would he do such a thing? |
| 24308 I will save you, sister. I swear it! |
| 24309 <CHARNAME>, this is something we must do, and quickly. This gnomish peddler, Wallace, will most likely be found near the market square. Let us seek him out there. |
| 24310 We will search the town until we find the fiend! |
| 24311 It is no concern of mine. |
| 24312 I thank you. Let us depart forthwith. |
| 24313 If you wish to call me friend, it is. Honorable folk would not leave a dying woman to her fate if it could be prevented. |
| 24314 You are no friend of mine, halfling. Good riddance, I say. |
| 24315 I will help you in this quest. Let us make for Trademeet's marketplace and find this gnome, Wallace. |
| 24316 So be it. Begone! I am no longer one of your companions. |
| 24317 This is too much. I must find Wallace and unravel this mystery. |
| 24318 Great! Do you help people like this often? I have been looking for some like-minded fellows to travel with. Home has been getting too stuffy for me. |
| 24319 Very well, I shall wait here. Tell Daleson I sent you, or he may not trust you, and who could blame him? Nobody goes out of their way to help his kind, but I will. |
| 24320 Well fine! I'll just sit here and twiddle my toes while you go and get yourself killed. Tell Daleson that I sent you or he won't trust you. Not sure I do either. |
| 24321 Hold, gnome! I would have words with you. |
| 24322 It has, though not such a long time for Danno and Pala. |
| 24323 How so if you've murdered my sister? |
| 24324 The potion that you've sold Danno is poison. Nothing can cure her. She's been in a coma since she had a sip of it. |
| 24325 Then who would? |
| 24326 What is his name, and where is he to be found? |
| 24327 I believe you, though I'd suggest that your discretion is lacking. Any responsible businessman would be sure that his products were safe. Your products certainly fell well short. |
| 24328 Very well, Wallace. You didn't know. It seems surreal, <CHARNAME>. It truly does. That my sister's life is truly at risk. |
| 24329 To the temple then, Mazzy? |
| 24330 Enough of this fox chase. We've important matters to attend to. |
| 24331 Yes, my friend. I thank you again for your support. I suggest that we seek out the temple superior, Overgold Renwellyn. We've no proof of Barl's guilt other than Wallace's word and my suspicions. |
| 24332 Then you go without me. I cannot be so cavalier about the life of my sister. |
| 24333 Forgive me, Mazzy. I spoke in frustration. We shall go to the temple of Waukeen to find the cleric. |
| 24334 Good riddance. |
| 24335 Honestly, good halfling, we have more important matters to attend to. |
| 24336 Begone! I hope to never lay eyes on your cursed and lying form again. |
| 24337 No issue holds more importance to me than that of my sister's well-being. Go now, I am no longer one of you. |
| 24338 Mazzy Fentan, is it? Aye, it's been a long time, it has. |
| 24339 Why no, I've seen them just this week. I expect wedding bells'll be comin' for the two of them. |
| 24340 Murdered?! What do you speak of? |
| 24341 Mazzy, I've known your family for a score of years. I'd never do such a thing. |
| 24342 Why, I've a new supplier for potions. A young cleric here in town. |
| 24343 Barl is his name. He lives in the temple of Waukeen. I am very sorry, Mazzy. I had no idea. |
| 24344 You're right, Mazzy. I'm very sorry. |
| 24345 Good day to you, wanderers. What humble assistance can my church and I offer? |
| 24346 I shall get right to the point, Your Grace. We have reason to believe that you have an agent of evil in your midst. |
| 24347 Shut up and listen, old man. We know your buddy Barl's been poisoning people, and we're gonna kill him. Where is he? |
| 24348 We have come to speak with you about Barl, Your Grace. My companion here, Mazzy, has good cause to believe that this fellow is an agent of evil. |
| 24349 Evil? Among us? Surely you must be mistaken! Barl is a terrible acolyte, I admit. But I shouldn't think him to be evil. |
| 24350 I assure you this is true. Barl supplies Wallace, a local merchant, with potions... and one of those potions poisoned Mazzy's sister. |
| 24351 This is highly unusual. I have no reason to believe mere strangers off the street when they accuse one of my priests of attempted murder. |
| 24352 I understand your position. If you could only look for some evidence... perhaps search Barl's chambers... |
| 24353 You would do well to listen to me, priest. You would not want to get me angry. |
| 24354 This is a highly unusual request. Barl's privacy must be respected... but if it clears things up, perhaps I could search his chambers. |
| 24355 Do you need me? I can sneak around pretty well, and I know the layout of the keep. It is my home, after all. |
| 24356 Then I welcome you into the group. Let's go. |
| 24357 No, I prefer to keep you out of harm's way. I will return shortly. Wait here. |
| 24358 You? Not a chance in all the Hells. I am more than capable of doing this without you. |
| 24359 You would dare to threaten me? In the very temple of my god? Begone now lest I call death down upon you. |
| 24360 What? But I just joined! *sigh* Very well. I can't wait around for you though. I have to go to my family's land and help them. If you still want to help, then that's where you should go. I'll meet you there, and we can plan the attack. |
| 24361 This is a highly unusual request. Barl's privacy must be respected... However, if you display proper devotion to the church, perhaps we could come to an understanding. |
| 24362 I understand, Your Grace. Will 300 gold pieces be a clear sign of devotion? |
| 24363 I will meet you there later. I still want to help, but I have things I must do first. |
| 24364 I have no intention of helping you. Get someone else. |
| 24365 What kind of devotion do you speak of? |
| 24366 Please hurry. I can't do much on my own. |
| 24367 Let us, then, put this matter behind us. I shall look into Barl's chamber right now. If I find hard evidence, we will call Barl and see what he has to say about it. Wait here, if you would. |
| 24368 What?! That's what I get for helping people? If you walk by a burning keep in your travels, remember what you did here today! Goodbye! |
| 24369 I refer to the gilded kind, of course. The church is struggling with Waukeen gone. 300 gp would show your devotion. Return when you have it. Until then, leave and speak of this to no one. |
| 24370 You have returned. Are you ready to show your devotion? |
| 24371 What kind of devotion was that again? |
| 24372 We are not ready to pay. |
| 24373 Of course. Here it is. |
| 24374 Return when you have 300 gp. Until then, leave and speak of this to no one. |
| 24375 But... but we've been together such a short while. Please, do you still intend to help me defend my family's keep? |
| 24376 Please, you did promise. We need to go to my family's land and join in the defense. If you have changed your mind, please tell me. |
| 24377 I am sorry for the delay. We will go there now and do what we can. |
| 24378 Yeah, yeah, I'm going. Don't get your neck in a knot. |
| 24379 I fear I need to do a few things first, and there may be delays. I will go soon. |
| 24380 I have done the best I can. I still need to do a few things, and we may be delayed. I will go soon. |
| 24381 Actually, I don't intend to help you. I was just killing time. |
| 24382 I am sorry, but I cannot help you. I must refuse. |
| 24383 I thank you. We should really hurry though. |
| 24384 I realize that you need to stock up and whatnot, but if we don't go soon, there will be no point in going at all. Please hurry. |
| 24385 I am sorry, but I can't wait for you any longer. I will go there and wait for you. Please hurry; there is little that I can do on my own. |
| 24386 How could you be so cruel?! Goodbye and good riddance! If you ever come by my burned-out keep, remember what you have done here today! |
| 24387 You could have said so earlier! I need to be there! They may already be... Goodbye and thanks for nothing! |
| 24388 I'm sorry, but I can't wait any longer. You agreed to help protect my family's land, but we take too long. Follow if you like, but I will wait no longer. |
| 24389 We must get to Daleson soon. They may kill him, and then we'll have no idea what we're up against. He should be inside next to the secret door. |
| 24390 Now, there be a vital gem nestled within the stench of this place... in an altar, I believe. Mekrath took it from me, and I must have it back. Come, let us retrieve it before we venture further. |
| 24391 If you care to join, then join, but I'm not here to babysit Raelis's whelps. |
| 24392 Mekrath has stolen an important gem from my keeping and locked it away within an altar in this lair. Find it and I shall stand guard over ye mewling babes 'til we return to Raelis. |
| 24393 Barl, false cleric! You stand accused of attempted murder. |
| 24394 I am Mazzy Fentan. Wallace the peddler bought "potions of love" from you... poisons, in reality. You can no longer claim innocence as the Overgold has found your tools of evil. |
| 24395 You've all but admitted your guilt, Barl. I no longer need to take you alive. |
| 24396 You have committed the ultimate crime, Barl. You have turned your back on goodness and embraced evil. Talona cares not for her bumbling slaves, as you will soon discover. |
| 24397 Justice is served. Perhaps Barl has a cure for this disease on his person. We must obtain it and return to Pala. |
| 24398 This is ludicrous! Who in the Hells are you? |
| 24399 I shall not leave myself in your hands. You'll not take me alive, halfling wench! |
| 24400 Talona is my mistress. She will save me. |
| 24401 All of you shall die! The glory of affliction shall anoint you, and your fall will add to Talona's black glory! |
| 24402 Yes, but I don't want you in the group while I do it. |
| 24403 No, I have changed my mind about helping you. |
| 24404 But within this wizard's lair is an altar containing a most necessary gem that dear Mekrath stole from me. Find it and bring it to me at Raelis's side, where we may discuss your foolish contract further. |
| 24405 Then I will be at the palisade. Please be careful. Try to find Daleson through the secret door north of the palisade, along the base of the keep wall. |
| 24406 What this? Baby paladin? Girl play dress-up like big warrior? |
| 24407 I talk you, pipsqueak. Go home to dolls; this big Gorf's world. I show you difference in wimpy halfling punch and Gorf squishy hit. Watch me. |
| 24408 Huh? |
| 24409 You want fight Gorf? Hah, hah, hah! |
| 24410 Okay, girl-girl. I fight at Copper Coronet. In pits. You want go squishy, you come there. Gorf kill you. |
| 24411 Gorf here to make people go squishy! Little girly warrior here. You ready go splat? |
| 24412 Huh? |
| 24413 Okay, good. Bunkin, where is Gorf's ale? |
| 24414 Uhg, that much good. Gorf ready to fight, pit man! |
| 24415 Huh? Ale taste funny. Taste funny good... Bunkin, honey, you look real purty tonight. |
| 24416 Fight? |
| 24417 Uh... pish... urgh... okay, I guess. |
| 24418 Of whom do you speak, oaf? |
| 24419 I can stand by and take your insults to myself, but now you have struck an innocent merely to dishonor me. I demand satisfaction, brutish fool! |
| 24420 A duel, you idiot. You have gone too far. My honor demands satisfaction. |
| 24421 That is what I said, stupid. Choose a battlefield. |
| 24422 I shall be there, oaf! |
| 24423 How dishonorable! The boorishness of the large people never ceases to amaze me. |
| 24424 Do you really want to fight that Gorf idiot? I do not think it wise. |
| 24425 You told him, Mazzy! |
| 24426 Honor demands risks, my friend. I must defeat the ogre. Let us go within the tavern so I may do so. |
| 24427 As honor demands. Let us go within the Copper Coronet. |
| 24428 But know this: Before he jailed me here, Mekrath stole a most important gem from me and placed it in an altar here. Against my instincts, I must entrust its care to you. Find it and deliver it to me at Raelis's side. She will reward you greatly... Now take care, dark hound, for we will meet again. |
| 24429 See difference, little nothing? Tiny gives Gorf hurt head. Gorf no like. Gorf will squishy you kind. |
| 24430 Well, did you find Daleson inside, like I said? What did he say? Is he well? |
| 24431 Another idiot halfling? Gorf knows how to pick 'em. Beat it, twerp. Surly ain't here to answer your stupid questions. |
| 24432 So they are, yet you know my name... Forgive me, but you have piqued my interest. As payment for my freedom, would you allow me to serve your mysterious cabal? |
| 24433 Ho, pit manager! I come to duel with the ogre, Gorf. Where is he? |
| 24434 Will you stand here all day and insult me, or will you tell me where he is? |
| 24435 We need comrades, not servants, Haer'Dalis. What skills do you bring with you? |
| 24436 No, please, I need you here. Please just tell me what Daleson said, and then we can get to the business of rescuing my home. |
| 24437 You may join with us if it is your wish. |
| 24438 Serve from a distance, then, for you are not one of us. |
| 24439 Forgive me. My orders were to rescue you, nothing more. Perhaps if we meet again under different circumstances... |
| 24440 Above all, I am a tiefling: I am a half-elf, and while my father was of the fair folk, my mother was no human. Will that be enough? |
| 24441 Fine, fine. I don't give an elf's arse. Check with his girl, Bunkin. She's over there dressed in yellow. Maybe she'll know where he's at. |
| 24442 You had best begin the search for a new ogre. Gorf shall not win this fight. |
| 24443 Yeah, whatever. Go away. Surly's got a bad hangover. |
| 24444 Here it is, baby. |
| 24445 Thanks, sugar! Why don't you fight quick so's we can have a night on the town? |
| 24446 Yeah, baby. In the pit. |
| 24447 It'll do... Welcome to the group, Haer'Dalis. |
| 24448 If your mother was no human, what was she? |
| 24449 The Doomguard... What's that? |
| 24450 More than enough, Haer'Dalis, more than enough. My apologies for doubting you. |
| 24451 No, it won't. I have just rescued you from bondage, and I am not so quick to trust... Go, my job here is done. |
| 24452 It is mine, and I was on my way to deliver it to Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe when he captured me. Come, let us find it that Ms. Shai may reward us both for its safe delivery. |
| 24453 I don't believe that that's any of your business, hound. Now may I join you, or is this meeting over? |
| 24454 All right, all right. You can travel with us... but watch your back. |
| 24455 You're right: This meeting's over. |
| 24456 Of that, you have my word... Come, my late but unmourned captor has hidden a gem in an altar here. It is imperative that I return it to Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe and soon. You have my assurance that her reward shall be generous. |
| 24457 You shall rue your acts of dishonor. |
| 24458 A word to the wise, however: It is best you come to her with gifts. I had a gem that would have served the purpose nicely, but the late Mekrath saw fit to steal it from my hands. It is in an altar in this place... I strongly recommend you take it with you. |
| 24459 It means that I am ready to fight. <CHARNAME>... please watch my belongings. I shall leave them here when I enter the pit. |
| 24460 Shut up and get in the pit. |
| 24461 Now I like you, berk, and I have extended my hand in friendship. Will you extend yours in turn? |
| 24462 Welcome home, daughter. Do you return bearing good tidings? |
| 24463 Are you sure it's safe, Mazzy? |
| 24464 I trust in the gods, daughter. Use it on your sister and pray. |
| 24465 Praise the heavens. |
| 24466 I'm here, Pala. I am so sorry, love. It was my fault that this happened. |
| 24467 We've found a potion that could cure Pala. |
| 24468 Very well, Haer'Dalis. Friendship... Welcome aboard. |
| 24469 No, Mother, but we have no other choice. Pala is at death's door. |
| 24470 She breathes easier, and color returns to her features. It may be working. |
| 24471 No, I don't believe I will. Something about you scares me, and I suspect it always shall... |
| 24472 Shush, Pala. You're home now. Everything will be fine. |
| 24473 I believe the jewel lies within an altar here... If we can find the jewel and complete the delivery, then I shall place myself at your every command. |
| 24474 Mazzy? I feel so tired. Where am I? |
| 24475 What happened to me? The last thing I remember was seeing Danno and drinking something. |
| 24476 If you find it, I ask that you deliver it to the playhouse of the Sigil theater troupe where I will be waiting. I will see to it that my mistress rewards you greatly. Now fare thee well, my hounds of rescue, for time is short. |
| 24477 Gently, Danno. She needs rest. We can speak of this when she is stronger. |
| 24478 She is resting now, and I am most relieved. If all goes well, I shall be ready to leave when Pala awakens again. I shall understand, however, if you cannot wait. |
| 24479 Thank you. Tomorrow... |
| 24480 Go well, <CHARNAME>, I shall remain here if you need me at another time. |
| 24481 We can wait. Take care of your sister. We will return. |
| 24482 We've been away too long already. We must return to our quest. |
| 24483 Yes, I shall sleep. |
| 24484 This is the second half of the Rift Device Rod. The completed Rod may be used for the destruction of the Unseeing Eye. |
| 24485 The mysterious Rift Device This rod is said to be so destructive that it was cursed by the gods and buried deep within the earth. The ancient god Amaunator and his worshippers were charged with the task of guarding it. Amaunator's fading avatar has allowed you to use it with the expressed purpose of destroying the Unseeing Eye. The avatar asked that you return it when your task is done, as it would be exceptionally dangerous to bring this device above ground. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 24486 The store behind this door is small and sells only sundries, trinkets, foodstuffs, or other goods of no real interest or value. |
| 24487 If we can find it, a certain Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe shall reward us greatly for its return. Come, let us search for it and be done with these wretched airs. |
| 24488 From what the spectral harpists have said, you gather that this bird was once poor Montaron. This would be what Xzar is looking for. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 24489 All of the Harpers that you have met in this area were wearing one of these amulets. Perhaps it somehow identifies one as being a Harper. Could there be a section of this building that can only be accessed by Harpers? STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 24490 Renfeld asked that you take him or his remains to a man named Rylock in the Docks District. STATISTICS: Weight: 50 |
| 24491 Should you find it, I ask that you deliver it to me at the playhouse of the Sigil theater troupe. I will see to it that my mistress rewards you greatly. |
| 24492 Oh! 'Tis like a nightmare. Yet more hooligans tracking their filth through the halls! I told your commander you'll get no more from me than condemnation. Marching into a home like this... |
| 24493 The corruption in the city is widespread... even amongst my own people. It is a pity. |
| 24494 You wound me... 'twas a simple verse. You think, mayhap, that my brain has been addled too long by arcane spells? Oh, what tragedy! |
| 24495 It does not befit an aspiring knight to speak in such a manner. |
| 24496 Listen you must, Anomen, if you hope to learn. You are only a youth, so I shall let your insults melt away. I say only what a paladin would say in my place. |
| 24497 No knight would speak such things. |
| 24498 You can... feel the wrongness in such a place. It has seeped into the very rocks themselves. |
| 24499 It feels good to be traveling in the open during the day. Adventure and virtue mesh well, I think. |
| 24500 Oh, call me a halfling if you must, but I find myself incredibly hungry at the moment. |
| 24501 How may I assist? |
| 24502 I daresay I have tried to wean Nalia off such charities, but I have failed. Why else would such as you be here? You sound like a noble, but you are obviously more adept at arms than societal graces. |
| 24503 Please do be quick about it; I am catching an alarming sniffle and could do with a warm fire. If I catch my death, I'll have the hide of the peasant in charge of the heat. |
| 24504 I should not like to see her die of some virulent contagion after coddling peasantry like yourselves. Not that she listens to me, as your presence here illustrates. |
| 24505 Oh... Blast it, you people have no sense of proper dramatics! Come on, let's try that one more time. |
| 24506 You are the lady of the house? I have come on behalf of your daughter. |
| 24507 You are the lady of the house? I have come on behalf of your daughter. |
| 24508 Shut your mouth. I'm here to rescue you, and I don't need backtalk. Nalia sent me. |
| 24509 Please keep quiet, m'lady. There are those about that would do us harm. |
| 24510 So I'm to be your prize, am I? A mockingbird to sing your petty praises? |
| 24511 You are at my mercy... this is a fine home... I will enjoy taking its treasures. |
| 24512 If you want to go, go. I'll not hold you to this deal. |
| 24513 Don't flatter yourself. You're a slave, a whipping boy. Nothing more. |
| 24514 My prize? I don't own anyone. I would rather you were my friend. |
| 24515 Mekrath has given you to me fairly... your only other choice would have been to remain a mindless slave. |
| 24516 I'm from Imnesvale in the Umar Hills. People h-have been disappearing. Some of them have t-t-turned up, but they're all turned inside out and mad. |
| 24517 What are my choices? |
| 24518 That's for you to figure out. You've got your freedom; now go. |
| 24519 If you wish to join with me, you may do so, but only as a free man. If you wish to go, then go. If you need help, I'll gladly assist you. |
| 24520 Things are rarely a question of choice in this world. More often they are questions of destiny. |
| 24521 My knight miniature has escaped and returned with more souls to feed upon. Welcome, all. |
| 24522 Gently, lady knight. You were to be my consort. |
| 24523 Hah hah! So noble! A night on this altar would have made you a worthy consort. Don't look so harshly upon me. You would be a most evil shade. The Laws of Chaos subvert. The noblest souls in life make for deliciously evil undead... |
| 24524 Is this how you will have it? Regrettable; however, we'd have ruled these weak fools together... Come, my shades, make short work of them and they shall join our army if not our family. |
| 24525 Something is awry... Iâ€â€I sense fresh souls. Who intrudes upon me? More unlucky adventurers come to swell the ranks of my dark army? |
| 24526 I suppose such actions are the only means of raising your status, but I still want your tromping about in these halls kept to a minimum. Delousing will interfere with my social schedule. |
| 24527 Consorting with people like you will kill Nalia, like it did her mother. Some plague rewarded her charity with fever, and still I cannot put a stop to it. |
| 24528 Obviously, those filthy creatures have swung the doors wide to any common traveler. You do look somewhat different than the fiends that entrapped me. |
| 24529 Nalia sent you, didn't she? Only she would know where to get such ruffians. Consorting with servants will leave her dead like her softhearted mother, earning a virulent fever for her charitable excesses. |
| 24530 I have a hazy recollection of it being in an altar here... but should you ever find it, I know an actress of the Sigil theater troupe, Raelis Shai, who would pay a fine reward to any who might bring it to her. |
| 24531 Twisted fiend! Only death will stop me from avenging those noble souls that you have stolen! |
| 24532 I would never join with you! Every fiber in my being would resist. |
| 24533 You will be fully dead when I am through with you. |
| 24534 I must find it again so it may be returned to its rightful owner, Miss Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe... Your help in this would mean a million worlds to me. |
| 24535 Your friend Mekrath stole from me a certain gem that I must have back. If you can find it in this place... in an altar, if I remember right... please bring it to me at the playhouse. You will not go unrewarded. |
| 24536 But I am a bird, a nightingale, a wren! I am a dark, scorched hound of chaos come to see this world again. |
| 24537 You're bloody nuts is what you are. |
| 24538 Quit your noise unless it brings with it something of value. You are my slave, and as such shall you travel with me. |
| 24539 All right, all right! You're a little birdie or a puppy dog or whatever it is you want, just don't talk incessantly about it. |
| 24540 The gem is in an altar here... so let's return it and reap a good reward. So put aside your illusions of grandeur for a while and help me find the blasted thing before Mekrath comes back. |
| 24541 I suppose I should expect nothing less. Your lack of breeding is apparent in your close-set eyes. Loot as you will, but you will not get the satisfaction of a fearful response from me. |
| 24542 Perhaps I will loot as I please, but I have a task as well. I am here on Nalia's behalf. |
| 24543 I think you should be afraid. I do not keep baggage for no purpose. Prepare to die. |
| 24544 Do as you will. I will not lose my dignity just because you threaten my life. Indeed, I would rather die than lose respect for myself. Frankly, I don't know how you peasants stand it. |
| 24545 Of course, milady. Nalia awaits you outside. Simply leave the way I came. |
| 24546 If it were not for the efforts of your servants, you would be dead even now. |
| 24547 Quite so! The little rotters should know their place well. Dock their wages if they live. |
| 24548 ...until yon mage cast me into bondage, of course. Miss Shai will reward you greatly for the jewel, of that I have no doubt. So come, I believe it lies in an altar here... let us find it 'ere the wizard returns. |
| 24549 I'm having second thoughts about effecting your release. I find your attitude... distasteful. |
| 24550 'Twas mine before my capture, and I was delivering it to Raelis Shai, the mistress of the Sigil theater troupe. I do not doubt that she would still reward us greatly for its delivery. Come, let us find it and be gone from here before the wizard fool returns. |
| 24551 Well, I can fault her for her acquaintances, but at least she is not here to dirty herself with... ugh... combat. Thank you for the assistance. Please, try not to touch me as I pass. |
| 24552 Be thankful you do not manage such creatures; they are impossible. What am I saying? You will NEVER need to worry about that. Just don't have the blood for it. |
| 24553 Well, nicely voiced for someone of dubious breeding. Perhaps... no, one must remember one's station. I will find Nalia. At least she stayed out of the... ugh... combat. |
| 24554 Do you now? Perhaps you are unsure where your place is? Below mine, and while your current actions may place my life in your hands, they certainly do not elevate you above your true station. |
| 24555 Oh, a rose by any other name... My dear and rescuing raven, you don't even know me. What if I turned out to be quite unfriendly and not at all a nice person to be spending time with? |
| 24556 Then I'd put you at the front of the group and let the trolls have at you. |
| 24557 And if I skewered them all upon my blades? |
| 24558 You seem harmless enough. |
| 24559 Oh, it's quite simple, really. I'd kill you or abandon you in the depths of some dungeon somewhere. |
| 24560 Point taken. Tell me about yourself, then. |
| 24561 All right, then... just join with me and we'll figure it out as we go along. |
| 24562 Blades? |
| 24563 I don't have time for this... if you really want to go, then go. I don't need a companion who babbles so much. |
| 24564 I'm just going to stand here in stunned silence for a moment. |
| 24565 As you would have it, milady. You are free to go. |
| 24566 I should take revenge for the commoners. Yes, I think it is time for you to die. |
| 24567 It is in an altar here, and we must bring it to Raelis Shai, mistress of the Sigil theater troupe. I assure you, she shall be more than pleased to see it. Come, let us find it before more unpleasantness occurs. |
| 24568 I am not evil, nor am I your enemy. I am simply your better, and the better of those that serve me. Now stand aside and let me pass. I've languished here quite long enough. |
| 24569 I wield two blades, Decay and Destiny, and in my hands, the two are as one. Care ye for a poet and a warrior-bard? |
| 24570 I'm just going to stand here in stunned silence for a moment. |
| 24571 As you say, milady. You are free of this place. |
| 24572 You are no less a villain than those I've come to fight. You will die here today! |
| 24573 Haer'Dalis, there is always room for one such as you within my company. |
| 24574 I have no need of one with such a dark disposition. Go, then, and if we meet again, let it be by chance. |
| 24575 Try to contain the drooling when your jaw goes slack like that. This is the way out? I shall find Nalia; at least she did not partake in the indignity of combat. |
| 24576 I doubt he will say a word. He's as soft as Nalia at times, but he does not lower himself to dealing with his lessers. Do rescue him, will you? It is your duty, I believe. |
| 24577 In an altar here, if I remember right. Once this gem was mine, you see, and it must be mine once more that I might deliver it to Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe, for she has need of it. Come, let us search this place and then make this long-delayed delivery. |
| 24578 Look how these people squander their wealth. Children lie starving in the street while the wealthy concern themselves with acquiring the latest Calimshan silks. |
| 24579 Ignorance has always been a convenient excuse for the rich to live out their lives in comfort. |
| 24580 It can be done. My noble birth does not affect my actions today, but I do agree that most nobility will not understand poverty until they suffer it themselves. |
| 24581 For a time, yes. But the poor understand what it's like to be trampled upon. They would show compassion. |
| 24582 Oh! 'Tis like a nightmare. Yet more hooligans tracking their filth through the halls! We shall have to vacation for a tenday while the whole building is deloused. |
| 24583 You are angry, my friend. This I understand implicitly. Injustice and indifference have always been the banes of our society. I often suspect that these sins pose more of a danger to us than any dragon ever could. |
| 24585 The trappings of one's family and past are not easy to throw away. It takes more than a glimpse of poverty to bring an epiphany to someone. |
| 24586 That may be true, but by casting the rich down, are we not merely creating a new impoverished class? |
| 24588 Allow me to tell you a tale. In a distant barony, there was a village, lorded over by a cruel baron given to excesses of body and spirit. |
| 24589 Now, it came to pass that a man named Kalos fell in love with a woman named Dana. A marriage was set for after harvest. Kalos and Dana were filled with joy. |
| 24590 Soon after, the baron came to the village collecting taxes. He saw the beautiful Dana, and he had his guards take her so that he could possess her. |
| 24591 When Kalos heard Dana was gone, he and his friends took up what arms they could. They stormed the baron's manor unthinking, like men gone berserk. |
| 24594 Anyone can be weak, Nalia. We like to hope that the oppressed never become the oppressor, that we would behave better than those above. Alas, it is not always so. |
| 24595 If you could only find it and bring it to my quarters at the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons Inn, I promise you Miss Shai would be most grateful. |
| 24596 *sigh* Aunty, please! We have come to rescue you! |
| 24597 That is all I can ask, Nalia. In the meantime, as I have heard it said: We be adventurers; let us adventure. |
| 24598 Nalia? Oh, my dear, what have you brought home with you this time? I have told you about consorting with such creatures. You will only end up like your mother. |
| 24599 Perhaps this is something that I should think upon, but I still say there is no excuse for the actions of some. |
| 24600 Yes, yes, yes, you have told me a hundred times or more about my mother's death. I'll thank you kindly not to do so again. |
| 24601 It bears repeating, my dear. She would slum as you do, offering charity to those beneath her, and her reward was a pestilence that took her life. |
| 24602 Aunty! Treat them with respect! Would you rather die than accept help from the commoners? We could learn compassion from these people. |
| 24603 You may not like my words, but you shall no doubt appreciate the gifts my mistress has prepared for its return. Take care and good speed, for I hope we meet again. |
| 24604 My dear Nalia, I wouldn't turn down the chance to live another day, but living another day as... one of them... You soil yourself dealing with your lessers. |
| 24605 Milady, we should save such discussion for another TIME. Let's move on. NOW. |
| 24606 The measure of a person is the quality of their life and how they live it, not how they are judged. |
| 24607 Lessers? Many a servant has undoubtedly fought to help here today! |
| 24608 Oh please, don't get her started. |
| 24609 Funny, that: I'm an actor. |
| 24610 What am I saying? You will NEVER need to worry about being in a position such as I hold. Simply don't have the blood for it. |
| 24611 I'm just going to stand here in stunned silence for a moment. |
| 24612 Nalia, I think we should let your aunt get to safety while we MOVE ON. Now. Please. |
| 24613 Perhaps I should leave you to the trolls. Perhaps I shouldn't wait for them to kill you. |
| 24614 Then why are you here? Did Mekrath not like the show? |
| 24615 Oh no, please don't get her going... |
| 24616 I merely wish that people respect the borders that fate has placed them within. I meant no disrespect other than that which you are already due. |
| 24617 Well, maybe you're not very good... |
| 24618 An actor? Would I have seen any of your work? |
| 24619 Would you mind if we recovered it from an altar here? She would be pleased to meet you, I am sure, and would take even more kindly to you if we could only find that jewel. |
| 24620 You will not! I won't tolerate this! Tell me you were kidding and that we simply did not understand the joke. Tell me... |
| 24621 I would like that, Haer'Dalis. |
| 24622 Come then, let us tear this wretched place asunder in our search. |
| 24623 Oracle |
| 24624 Return to your playhouse, Haer'Dalis. I shall look for this jewel you speak of and bring it to you there. |
| 24625 Then I shall wipe you clean from the slate that is my memory. I was not freed from this foul place: I escaped. If you change your mind, however, you know where I can be found. |
| 24626 I can naught but trust you, my dark hound of rescue... Return to the playhouse soon that we might speak under less urgent circumstances. |
| 24627 Yes, and maybe the trees turn gold in spring. Look, I shall join you if you wish, but if not, I have more pressing engagements to attend to. What have you to say? |
| 24628 I meant nothing by it. Join me, if you like. |
| 24629 Well, if you have more pressing engagements, then leave me here by all means. I'll be just fine here, I assure you. |
| 24630 I like your wit. Go, take care of whatever engagements you may have. There shall always be room for you at my side. |
| 24631 Raelis Shai, mistress of the Sigil theater troupe beneath the Five Flagons Inn, would be more than pleased to have it in her possession. Come, let us retrieve it and make haste unto the playhouse. |
| 24632 I believe the gem to be in an altar here... if you could retrieve it and return it to me at the playhouse, Mistress Shai would be most pleased. It would be advisable that you hurry too, as Mekrath will no doubt be returning shortly. Now I must go. |
| 24633 My apologies. We should move on though. Now. Before something... happens. |
| 24634 Before my capture at Mekrath's hands, I carried with me a certain gem. I believe it to be in an altar here... Deliver it to me at the playhouse below the Five Flagons, and Miss Shai will be more than grateful. |
| 24635 I merely wished to make her realize her status was worthless at the moment. That is all. |
| 24636 I do not take kindly to being insulted. She and her haughty attitude should die! |
| 24637 I'm just going to stand here in stunned silence for a moment. |
| 24638 Fine... errr... milady. Nalia, should we not be moving on? NOW would be nice. |
| 24639 I am the one with your life in my hands. Perhaps I should not wait for the trolls to kill you. |
| 24640 Aunty! |
| 24641 Try to contain the drooling from your slack jawâ€â€it's bad for the floor. Coming, Nalia? I suppose not. Go where your "friends" bid; I will wait where it is safe. |
| 24642 As you wish. Do try to stay clean, Nalia, and try not to get killed. I shall wait where it is safe, and we shall talk again. For now go with your... "friends." |
| 24643 Hmm? Oh! Yes, we should... really get moving. You will be safe back the way we came, Aunty, but I cannot go with you yet. |
| 24644 Do you see, child? See how they react? Do not presume they think like us just because you pity them. Come, my dear, we should run from this place before we are harmed, by "friend" or by foe. |
| 24645 You needn't whisper, dear, but do try to refrain from talking behind my back with the help, will you? It does not do them good to see their betters maligned. |
| 24646 They aren't like that! Many are deserving, and... I thought them worthy, but... they are as intolerant as... we are. I... I think I would rather leave it all... |
| 24647 Understandable, but it is hard enough to convince her of the worth of others without them threatening her. Not that she shouldn't be used to it... |
| 24648 Rather an amusing bit of restraint on your part, and I appreciate that. She's decent enough but very set in her ways and hard to deal with. Come, we must rescue my father. |
| 24649 What? And who be you then? Come 'round the back way, did ye? I suppose ye must have. Nothin' but trolls and snakes the front way. What are ye doin' here then? |
| 24650 Fear not, I have come to rescue you. |
| 24651 I've come to get you fool peasants out of here before you get killed. |
| 24652 I'm here to rout those trolls and snakes. I'll teach them to pillage poor commoners. |
| 24653 Perhaps I'll take this place for myself, right out from under those trolls and snakes. |
| 24654 You? Rescue me? I ain't nobody, even the trolls know that, so they left me to tend the animals 'cuz I ain't no threat. Did Miss Nalia send you? |
| 24655 She doesn't want any more people to die, and she hired me to make sure of it. |
| 24656 Now why would you want to go and do something like that? Sure don't sound like you care much for the likes of me. It were Miss Nalia what sent you, wasn't it? |
| 24657 Yes, she doesn't want any else to die here, and I'm to make sure of it. |
| 24658 Will you now? And why do you care about this place? Could only be two reasons. Either you heard this place ain't as poor as you say, or... or Miss Nalia sent you. |
| 24659 And who told you what was going on here? The Roenalls are hungry for this place, but they don't speak to your kind. Miss Nalia probably sent you, and now you've double-crossed her. |
| 24660 Ahh, what if she did? I still don't care for you; I'm just in it for the gold. |
| 24661 Never heard of her. I heard of this place being attacked and thought I'd take a look. |
| 24662 No offense meant, but are you here to really help, or are you here to say how much someone should help? Miss Nalia is a bit more talk than action sometimes. |
| 24663 She wants to make sure no one else dies here at the hands of those trolls. |
| 24664 Nalia did send me, and I just meant that I would stop the trolls from taking over. |
| 24665 Don't care what brought you here if it gets me out alive. I'm no stranger to people helpin' for the wrong reasons. Got Miss Nalia for that. No matter, help is help is help, I always say. |
| 24666 Yeah, but I don't care for any of you, at least not beyond what she's paying me. |
| 24667 Maybe I just heard about the attack and wanted to help. What concern is it of yours? |
| 24668 That she did, but I am still only here for the combat and any reward I might get. |
| 24669 Nalia, never heard of her. I just go where there's adventure to be had. |
| 24670 It's not like that at all. I'm just more interested in the combat and reward. |
| 24671 And what if I have? Are you going to do something about it? |
| 24672 Nothin' personal, but thrillseekers like you get us little guys hurt. I guess you're better than nothing, and probably better than Nalia. She means well, I suppose, but she's still a noble. |
| 24673 Any people left probably just want to leave and won't get in your way. Them nobles won't fight you either. Nalia might if she were here, but you never really know with her. |
| 24674 I'm here to help, but I need information about the trolls. Numbers and such. |
| 24675 I will do my best. How many people are still alive around here? Are they hiding? |
| 24676 What do you mean by that? She sure seems to care about what happens to you. |
| 24677 Do you know how many trolls are in this place, or if they have a leader? |
| 24678 Are any people hidden around here, or are any left alive at all? |
| 24679 What do you mean about Nalia? She seems to care a great deal. |
| 24680 Thanks for the vote of confidence. So, can you tell me anything about the trolls? |
| 24681 I don't suppose you know how many other "little guys" are still alive, or where they might be hiding? |
| 24682 What do you mean when you say that about this Nalia person? |
| 24683 Can you tell me how many trolls are in this place, or if they have a leader? |
| 24684 Maybe I'll leave you and your friends alone, maybe I won't. How many of you are left alive? |
| 24685 What do you mean when you say that about this Nalia person? |
| 24686 Maybe thirty. There was a big troll that seemed to be in charge. I've kept out of sight, but I also heard him bossing something called a "yuan-ti." I don't know how many of those there are. |
| 24687 Probably took him down to the dungeon. Lord de'Arnise had his dungeon boarded up, but I think them trolls sniffed it out. Don't know why they didn't just kill everyone. |
| 24688 She may help occasionally, but we're still servants and she's still the noble. She's foolin' herself with her charity, but she tries at least. |
| 24689 And how many of your fellows have survived so far? |
| 24690 What were you saying about Nalia? |
| 24691 How many trolls did you think were here? |
| 24692 What was that about Nalia? |
| 24693 All right then, I'll be off to do my dirty work. Try to keep out of harm's way. |
| 24694 All right then, I'll be off to do my dirty work. Try to keep out of harm's way. |
| 24695 How many trolls did you think were still here? |
| 24696 And how many of your fellows did you think were still alive? |
| 24697 All right then, I'll be off to do my dirty work. Try to keep out of harm's way, will you? |
| 24698 I've all I need from you. How about you start running, and we see how far you get? |
| 24699 I've all I need from you. How about you start running, and we see how far you get? |
| 24700 I've all I need from you. How about you start running, and we see how far you get? |
| 24701 I'll just be staying right here, thanks all the same. They ain't bothered to come get me yet, and if you go out there making trouble, I think this is the safest place for me. |
| 24702 You can't be serious?! If I go running, they'll hear for sure, even if you don't kill me yourself. I'm dead either way, and they'll raise the alarm! You don't really want to do that, do you? |
| 24703 Of course not, just having a little fun with you. |
| 24704 Best you start running and hope for the best. Don't make me say it again. |
| 24705 I don't know much, but I know that wasn't funny. Please, leave me. |
| 24706 You... you're no better than the monsters out there. Have it your way, but make no mistake, you will pay for this in the long run, I just knows it! |
| 24707 This place isn't open to your kind anymore. This estate and all its possessions are now in the care of Family Roenall. Move along, rabble. |
| 24708 He is well. He told me their strengths, and that a Lord de'Arnise was still alive. |
| 24709 This ring is worn by followers of the Storm Lord Talos, whose disciples await their god's wrath and welcome it eagerly. The ability to wreak havoc and ruin are the principle ideals that Talos desires to see in his subjects. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 24710 He told me what we are up against, and I think I would rather leave this fight for someone else. |
| 24711 *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* *sniiiff* I smell you! I do... you gradunk no be hiding on TorGal! |
| 24712 Stand forth and be judged, creature! Your reign of terror ends here! |
| 24713 I will not hide from such filth as you. Come and die, if you are brave enough! |
| 24714 I come here to speak with you. I do not wish to fight. |
| 24715 I wish to make a deal for the lives of your captives. I don't want anyone else to die here today! |
| 24716 Sorry, sorry, I rather think I've entered the wrong room. I'll just be on my way, no need to get up. |
| 24717 I rain 'cross many places. What think you gradunk leave here dry? I TorGal, and I trgank lead Rocksmash pack! We serve Stronger, so who traag you to say no?! |
| 24718 You grrranktal no tell me what be done! None but Stronger tell TorGal what fregRrrrt be done! Who you to say to Rocksmash pack? GweRrl? |
| 24719 CowardalRrrrr, you no fight? We come to fight! Stronger ask for things, but we fight anyway! You worthlessrrr if you gerrtragg no fight! What good you?! |
| 24720 Who ask grgath like you what should die? Rocksmash pack think all die, now have what stronger grrreth want. TorGal do good job, now you rrrthag die for fun! |
| 24721 Rocksmash pack tired from good job for Stronger, TorGal think you make good hrrtthrg fun time! We kill who own land, but kill you fergthhh for fun! |
| 24722 Mekrath stole it from me and has hidden it in an altar within this place. Come, let us rescue it from its unjust confinement and reap our reward at the playhouse. |
| 24723 I believe it to be in an altar here... return it to me at the playhouse of the Sigil theater troupe. I assure you that my mistress, Raelis Shai, would be more than grateful. With your leave, my hounds of chaos, I must make my exit. I pray we meet again. |
| 24724 Goodman Valygar! I tire. Would you please prepare my bedroll and fetch extra wood for the fire? There seems to be a chill in the air. |
| 24725 My equipment needs a measure of cleaning as well. If you are through with your own preparations, would you see to this? |
| 24727 I did not intend to burden. Indeed, I thought the role would flatter. Every knight needs a squire; I had hoped you would be honored. |
| 24728 Perhaps I should have made a formal request, but... I am new to this as well... There is none other more fit to be my squire. You are a gentleman... a friend. |
| 24729 Have I erred? Just what? |
| 24730 What have these ruffians done to you? |
| 24731 Sorry. I'm leaving now. |
| 24732 It is a large building... a large orange building in the southwest part of the Docks District. There will be a man guarding the door... his name is Rylock. Please, take me to him... |
| 24733 I can try to heal you magically, if you wish. |
| 24734 What will be my reward for helping you then? |
| 24735 Very well. I will take you there. |
| 24736 But now it lies in an altar in this wretched place, if my memory serves, and I have neither the time nor strength to retrieve it. If you could do so in my stead and bring it to me at the playhouse, perhaps our winding paths will finally converge. |
| 24737 Forget it. I have better things to do. |
| 24738 And what would be my reward for doing this? |
| 24739 It is... no use, I am afraid. I have already attempted to neutralize the poison inside me. I... do not know... what has been done to me. Please... I must go to my friends... |
| 24740 Where is this building, then? |
| 24741 What sort of reward will I receive for doing this for you? |
| 24742 Very well... I will take you now. |
| 24743 Forget it. I have better things to do than to help you. |
| 24744 Reward? *groan* I... I have nothing to offer you... aside from my gratitude and those of my friends. Please... I do not have much time... |
| 24745 Where is this building, exactly? |
| 24746 I will attempt to heal you with magic. |
| 24747 Very well... I'll take you there. |
| 24748 Forget it, then. I have better things to do. |
| 24749 Th-thank you. I... do not have long to live. You must take me there quickly... *groan*... take me to Rylock... |
| 24750 H-have... have you no compassion? I... I am dying. Nobody will aid me... please, I am begging you... |
| 24751 *sigh* Where do you need to go, again? |
| 24752 Sorry. I'll leave you be now. |
| 24753 P-please! No... |
| 24754 You? P-please... I ask you again... please help me... |
| 24755 Tell me what you need, again? |
| 24756 Sorry, I cannot. I'll be going. |
| 24757 What Harpers? What are you talking about? |
| 24758 The Harpers you delivered the poisoned man to. Or were you too idiotic to know they were Harpers? I require your inadequate services for a job. |
| 24759 Exactly what kind of job are you talking about? |
| 24760 I'm not about to cross the Harpers. Sorry. |
| 24761 'Allo <LADYLORD>! Would you care to purchase some of my high-quality merchandise this <DAYNIGHTALL>? |
| 24762 I have no interest in doing anything for you, Xzar. |
| 24763 Let's see what you have. |
| 24764 He has been poisoned somehow... but he said magic was not able to cure it. He seemed desperate to find you. |
| 24765 He is... sick? I shall bring him inside immediately. Thank you, friend, for doing this. We are most grateful. Here is a small reward for your troubles. |
| 24766 A reward? Er... yes, I suppose so. For you trouble. Renfeld appears ill... I must take him inside immediately. Thank you. |
| 24767 This is a private residence. Thank you for bringing Renfeld to me. He appears ill, so I must bring him inside immediately. Some coin... for your trouble. |
| 24768 Poisoned? By the gods! Thank you... I must bring him inside immediately! Here is some coin, for your trouble. I thank you again, friend. |
| 24769 Yes? Is there someth... Renfeld? He is dead? What has happened to him? |
| 24770 I found him poisoned in the street. He was desperate to find you, but I did not locate you in time. |
| 24771 I am not sure. He asked me to bring him here, but he died on the way. |
| 24772 I do not know. |
| 24773 Poisoned? It is a sad thing, then, that he did not arrive to us soon enough. Thank you for bringing his body... we are most appreciative. |
| 24774 Yes, I was hoping for some kind of reward...? |
| 24775 Just who are you? Who was he? What is this place? |
| 24776 It was not a problem. |
| 24777 I see. Thank you anyway for bringing his body to us. We are most appreciative. |
| 24778 Yes, I was hoping for some kind of reward...? |
| 24779 Just who are you? Who was he? What is this place? |
| 24780 It was not a problem. |
| 24781 Hm. All right... for your trouble, I suppose. I thank you again for bringing the body to us. Good day to you. |
| 24782 None of those questions are your concern. Here... some money to cover your trouble. I must take him inside now... Thank you and good day. |
| 24783 I must bring his body inside, then. Thank you again for bringing him to us. We are most appreciative. Good day. |
| 24784 We maintain the balance, fool... and every Harper goes more out of his or her way for the common good than anyone else ever cares to. *sigh* |

The creature will live and die at <PRO_HISHER> command until the spell's duration expires. |
| 24787 You have one of our brethren with you! We must resurrect her immediately and... what is wrong? I feel great ugliness around her... a foul curse! |
| 24788 We will keep her here in druidic hibernation. That will stave off the inevitable for a time. Find what has done this and remove the curse lest she not survive. |
| 24789 I cannot say. Please, rejoin with me and go there. It is very important. |
| 24790 Very well, join with me. |
| 24791 No, I don't think I will. |
| 24792 If you do not wish to come now, then I will wait for you there. Please, do not take long. This is important. I will be at the Harper Hold in Athkatla. |
| 24793 Good. This will make things easier for every one. |
| 24794 No, no, no, you must go in. I cannot leave here until you agree to do so. Return when you will be more reasonable. |
| 24795 I am yours to command. |
| 24796 Ah, I sense you have an earthy wisdom about you, my sweet elf. I find that most sensual. |

The elemental has 8 Hit Dice and will serve the caster's every whim until banished back to its home plane, the spell's duration expires, or the elemental dies. However, every time this spell is cast, there is a 15% chance that the elemental will escape the instructions of the caster, go berserk, and attack the wizard who dared summoning it. If it can't reach the summoner, it will fight its way toward <PRO_HIMHER>. This berserking elemental will also remain until slain or the spell's duration expires. The elemental is locked into a psychic contest with the caster for 3 rounds after being summoned. At the end of this time, if the caster has won, <PRO_HESHE> has control of the elemental; however, if <PRO_HESHE> has lost, the elemental goes berserk and tries to kill <PRO_HIMHER>. This does not prevent the use of other charm-type spells after the contest was lost. If charm spells are used before the contest is over, they will have no effect on the outcome. |

| 24801 Ah, such passion! You set me on fire with your words... and with your lovely body as well... |
| 24802 I could set you on fire with more than that, if you truly wish. |
| 24803 Well... er, no, not really... |
| 24804 The first thing of sense you have said. Now stay out of my way. |
| 24805 Ah, my little chestnut, we meet again! |
| 24806 By Arvoreen, not you! And stop calling me your little chestnut... that is a ridiculous name. |
| 24807 Are you not glad to see me again, my lovely diminutive one? I have burned to lay eyes upon you for so long... |
| 24808 No, I am not pleased to see you. How many times do I have to tell you that? |
| 24809 But Salvanas aches to hear your every word, my sweet... even if they are cruel and punishing... |
| 24810 *sigh* If you want to introduce your aches to cruel and punishing, I can arrange that. Now, for the last time, GO AWAY! |
| 24811 Hello, my pretty dove. I am Salvanas... and I am so pleased that my gaze has chanced to fall upon you... |
| 24812 Are you talking to me? |
| 24813 But of course I am talking to you... your skin is so pale, your gaze so innocent, and your hips so rounded... I burn with sudden, aching desire! |
| 24814 Quayle told me about men like you. Go away, sir. And stop touching my hand! |
| 24815 But I am helpless but to reach out for you, my dove. Your beauty calls to me, stirs my passions within me! |
| 24816 You'll have a magic missile or two within you pretty soon! Now stop all this nonsense and go away. |
| 24817 Ahhh... I have not seen you here before, lovely creature. How do you do? |
| 24818 Pleasure Slave |
| 24819 Pleasure Slave |
| 24820 Why... I'm just fine, you (Aargh! hold your tongue, fool!) Begone, you slithering eel! |
| 24821 Ah, yes... the eel... I slither about your loveliness because you draw me to you. You... with your dark lashes and your come-hither eyes... |
| 24822 I said begone! Can you not understand the simplest Common, you lumbering piece of filth?! |
| 24823 Salvanas understands you. He hears your words, and he feels your passion. Your fire ignites my own, my sweet... Come to me... |
| 24824 My, but you are a flatterer! (Gah!) I mean... stop it, get lost! A fireball in your gullet would dampen your mood, lizard! |
| 24825 Nothing could keep me away from your exotic grace... those hands... those lips... that throat... that, er, Adam's apple? |
| 24826 GAAAAAHHHH! (Pig!) NOW YOU DIE! |
| 24827 Conjure Lesser Air Elemental |

| 24831 The sphere has been sent to us from the very heavens! We must bow down before it! |
| 24832 All of you kneel before the might of the sphere! Kneel before its power! Kneel before its wisdom! |
| 24833 You and your Harper kin accused me of breeding slaves in Calimshan! My businesses in Athkatla were taken! I was made a pauper, and you do not even remember?! |
| 24834 We shall build a temple around the sphere! Yes... yes, a temple! The faithful shall come from miles around to see it! |
| 24835 And we shall... shall... charge admission! Yes! Admission! Oooo! Now that IS a good idea... |
| 24836 That you live in poverty is gratifying, if you must live at all! I would suggest you change your tone. I am not in a mood for giving charity to old slavers! |
| 24837 Bow down before the holy sphere! Bow down! |

| 24843 I wonder if me home be in there? |
| 24844 Huh? What do you mean? |
| 24845 Well now, this thing just went and appeared over me little home. I wonder if me home be inside? Maybe we should take a hammer and chisel and open it up and see. |
| 24846 Has nobody tried that? |
| 24847 No, I don't think... oh, yes. I reckon someone did do just that a couple o' weeks ago. Zapped into a pile o' ashes quicker than ye could blink. |
| 24848 On second thought, mebbe I won't be hammerin' away at it anytime soon. Sure does miss me home, though. |
| 24849 Well, this is a puzzle, it is. Me home has t' be in there somewhere. |
| 24850 Hey! Hey, you there! Fella with the painted head! |
| 24851 Yes? You talking to Minsc? |
| 24852 Jaheira, I'm going to repay the harm you did me. I did not find you by accident; I'll make you pay for your libelous ways and the shame you have caused me. |
| 24853 Yes, you! See this mighty fine sphere here? You can have it for your very own for a mere 500 gold pieces! What do you say? |
| 24854 Jaheira, you and your claims brought me shame and suffering, and today I am going to exact payment. For your slanderous accusations, I am going to... |
| 24855 Boo says such a sphere will not fit into my pocket. If I can't carry it with me, it's just not a good buy. |
| 24856 Children throwing apples, merchants loosing the hounds, hunters with their arrows... and for what? Tales around a dinner table, a few guffaws at a watering hole? |
| 24857 Oh, er... the lil fella says all that, does he? |
| 24858 Yes indeed. Boo is exceptionally smart for a hamster. Smarter than all the hucksters in Calimshan. |
| 24859 I see. What else does he say? |
| 24860 It has been trying past endurance, <CHARNAME>. *sigh* |
| 24861 He mutters occasionally about fellow hamsters that will kill you all, but he is just moody, so don't worry. See how he glares? Shhh, we should leave him be. |
| 24862 I may not see your lingering death, but I will smile, knowing it will happen. Tonight I sleep beneath rags so I could afford this wasting death for you... |
| 24863 Hey! Hey you there! Fella in the black leather! |
| 24864 I remained hooded at all times, and it was only a matter of time and materials before I would own my own homestead, away from prying eyes. |
| 24865 I take it you are speaking to me? |
| 24866 Yes, you! See this mighty fine sphere here? You can have it for your very own for a mere 500 gold pieces! What do you say? |
| 24867 I'd say you're selling it far too cheaply. |
| 24868 You... er... you think so? Too cheap? |
| 24869 Of course. Look at the construction. The sheer size. You could fit an army in there, almost. Like a castle. |
| 24870 Say... you are right, sir! From now on, the asking price is 10,000 gold pieces! |
| 24871 Good show! I can see your salesmanship skills are most excellent. |
| 24872 Thank you! For a fella who looks like a ruffian, ye're pretty bright, I'd say! |
| 24873 The time to reveal myself as drow came one late afternoon. A warm day; the sun was dappling along the south quarter of his farmland, and I pulled down my hood. |
| 24874 You! Hey you! Elf lady with the curly hair! |
| 24875 I take it I am the one being addressed here? |
| 24876 Yes, you! See this mighty fine sphere here? You can have it for your very own for a mere 500 gold pieces! What do you say? |
| 24877 I would say you are a fool trying to sell something you do not own and a wastrel attempting to take advantage of the innocent. |
| 24878 Yes, well... er... 200 gold pieces? |
| 24879 It is because of dirt such as you that I do not like coming to the city. Do not speak to me again, criminal. |
| 24880 When I reached his farmhouse, I learned his true intentions. Somebody hit me in the back of my skull, and the ground rushed up to meet me. |
| 24881 You! Hey you! Gnome! |
| 24882 Well, in some places that wouldn't narrow things down much. I take it, however, that you are bellowing at me, good sir. |
| 24883 Yes, you! See this mighty fine sphere here? You can have it for your very own for a mere 500 gold pieces! What do you say? |
| 24884 I'd say you remind me of my cousin Rintin. Grew the largest turnip one summer, larger than a house, almost. Well... larger than his house, at any rate. |
| 24885 I would enjoy crushing her, but I will settle for you! Meet my hirelings! My last favors paid for them, and they are well worth it! Kill them! |
| 24886 He sold the whole turnip to six different people. One of them a wizard, if I remember, who thought the turnip would make a wonderful component for a lich spell. |
| 24887 I could see nothing except for the lid of a coffin. They had buried me alive... a mistake not to kill me outright. |
| 24888 All six of them arrived one day, and poor Rintin couldn't even pull it out of the ground. Went purple from exhaustion... which actually disguised him rather well in front of the turnip. |
| 24889 They saw him anyway. Divided poor Rintin up into six portions, they did. Sad story. Unless you're the turnip. |
| 24890 I see you will press this with violence? Well, I will answer in kind! Meet my assassin hirelings! They will make short work of the lot of you! |
| 24891 Er... ummm... You! You over there! No, not the gnome... you! |
| 24892 The fools knew the name "drow," but were ignorant of my true spirit. Pain is the handmaiden of my people; their tortures were amateurish in comparison. |
| 24893 Now I can't show my face lest it be spat in! She will pay, as will you! Meet my hirelings! My last favors bought them! Well worth it, I think you will agree! |
| 24894 I split the coffin lid and let the earth in. I clawed to the surface, and pain did not slow me... I would not let weakness deter me from vengeance. |
| 24895 What happened next, Viconia? |
| 24896 You! Hey you! The <PRO_LADYLORD> there with the others! |
| 24897 I would enjoy crushing her, but I will settle for you! Meet my hirelings! My last favors paid for them, and they are well worth it! Kill them! |
| 24898 Yes, you! See this mighty fine sphere here? You can have it for your very own for a mere 500 gold pieces! What do you say? |
| 24899 Er... me? |
| 24900 Sure, that sounds like a great deal! |
| 24901 I would enjoy crushing her, but I will settle for you! Meet my hirelings! My last favors paid for them, and they are well worth it! Kill them! |
| 24902 You own the sphere here? |
| 24903 Tell me what the sphere is first. And how do you open it? |
| 24904 Forget it. |
| 24905 Excellent doing business with you! I'll just... leave you alone with your new purchase. |
| 24906 Besides, your coins are nothing compared to my revenge! Your deaths will complete my victory! Meet my assassins! They will make short work of the lot of you! |
| 24907 No. What does that have to do with anything? |
| 24908 How can you sell something you don't own? |
| 24909 This is wrong... you can't go selling something like that! |
| 24910 Besides, your coins are nothing compared to sweet revenge! Your deaths will complete my victory! Meet my assassins! They will make short work of the lot of you! |
| 24911 I suppose nothing. But I don't want to buy it off of you, that's for sure. |
| 24912 Jiscanan, the younger son, left to use the outhouse. I jammed a stake in the door, trapping him inside. Then I set the building aflame. |
| 24913 You... open it with a magic word. Yes... a magic word. Which I will sell to you for the 500 gold pieces. |
| 24914 Now I can't show my face lest it be spat in! She will pay, as will you! Meet my hirelings! My last favors bought them! Well worth it, I think you will agree! |
| 24915 Show me first. Open up the sphere for me. |
| 24916 Roran came running, yelling to Funnard. As he stood helpless before the flames, I wrapped a garrote around his neck... |
| 24917 Now I can't show my face lest it be spat in! She will pay, as will you! Meet my hirelings! My last favors bought them! Well worth it, I think you will agree! |
| 24918 That sounds like a deal. Here's the 500 gp. |
| 24919 By this time, the elder son, Funnard, returned with a bucket from the well to find his father's corpse and his brother a smoldering ember. |
| 24920 Forget it. Not interested. |
| 24921 Rats! Hmm... You! Hey you! You over there! |
| 24922 I would take a more active hand in this, but I am not the only one involved. |
| 24923 Yes, I suppose your heritage adds a complicating factor. You have a birthright, of a sort. I wonder what you intend to do with it when age grants you wisdom. |
| 24924 I will have all that is my due. There is power here, and in time it will be mine. |
| 24925 In time, I will come to terms with it. I intend to live a long, normal life. |
| 24926 That is a dangerous attitude. I hope age will temper it, given time. I really hope it does. |
| 24927 A fine aspiration, if not the king's choice. I know very few kings that live in peace. Equally few inspire true loyalty in followers, or their... companions. |
| 24928 The group needs me? |
| 24929 You! Have you seen my husband?! I know he's in here somewhere! |
| 24930 Er... who, might I ask, is your husband? |
| 24931 Yes, he just left a few minutes ago. |
| 24932 No, I don't know where he is. |
| 24933 Actually, I met him in the back rooms. Perhaps you could find him there. |
| 24934 I don't have time to talk about such a matter. |
| 24935 Rumar! Lord Rumar! You know who I'm talking about! EVERYONE here knows who I'm talking about! He's meeting HER here again! |
| 24936 Rumar's around here somewhere! No one will tell me where he is! But I'll get him... and his cheap slattern too! |
| 24937 YOU HEAR THAT, RUMAR?! I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS! |
| 24938 Actually, I think I saw him leave a few minutes ago. |
| 24939 I'm gonna kill now! Mmmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm... now? |
| 24940 I met him in the back rooms, with the escorts. |
| 24941 No, I don't know where he is. |
| 24942 I don't have time for this. |
| 24943 Liar! I know he's here! There has to be somewhere I haven't looked! RUMAR! RUMAR, I'M COMING FOR YOOOOUUU! |
| 24944 What?! Back rooms?! |
| 24945 I'll find him eventually! I SWEAR I'll find him! |
| 24946 You! Let me into these "back rooms"! This instant! |
| 24947 Er... ah... yes, ma'am. Right away, ma'am... |
| 24948 Ho there! Do you know if my shrew of a wife is out in the tavern still looking for me? |
| 24949 I don't know; who's your wife? |
| 24950 You must be Rumar. Oh, yeah... she's still looking for you, all right. |
| 24951 Sorry, I have no idea. |
| 24952 I have no time to talk about such matters. |
| 24953 Hah! If you met her, you'd remember! She is a vicious hen with sharp teeth and a shout you can hear halfway across Faerûn! Isn't that right, pumpkin? |
| 24954 *giggle* She sure is, my sweetums! *giggle* |
| 24955 I thought I heard her bellow earlier. If so... well... I'll just have to take my time with my little dalliance here. Bwahaha! |
| 24956 Er... I think she must have left already, then. |
| 24957 Well, if you're talking about Lady Tiana... no, she's out there, all right. |
| 24958 I have no idea. |
| 24959 I have no time for this. |
| 24960 Really? Well, be a sport and don't mention my whereabouts to her. I'm rather... tied up with my little pumpkin here. Isn't that right, pumpkin? |
| 24961 *giggle* Uh-huh... *giggle* |
| 24962 Ah. Well, if you do see her about, be a sport and don't say anything to her. She'll never find us back here, will she, my sweet little pumpkin? |
| 24963 *giggle* No, never! |
| 24964 Excellent! Then I can wallow in the love of my sweet little pumpkin here! Isn't that right, my prissy pumpkin darling? |
| 24965 *giggle* You're so silly, Rumie! |
| 24966 Rumar! RUMAR! |
| 24967 *chuckle* Oh, do not glare at me so, <CHARNAME>. I am only teasing. This girl was raised with you, I understand... so, yes, naturally you will spring to her rescue. |
| 24968 Eh! Uh, darling? |
| 24969 Don't you "darlin'" me! You will come home with me this very instant! |
| 24970 Yes, dear... |
| 24971 No! You can't have him! He's mine! |
| 24972 One more word out of you, wench, and it'll be your last! |
| 24973 Oh, I've been told many tales of your exploits. Some bits of your activities here in Athkatla as well as further north. |
| 24974 Wench?! WENCH?! Listen here, you old harpyâ€â€! |
| 24975 HARPY?! That's IT! |
| 24976 In this one instance, however, my men are limited. I need someone of skill who is not one of the Shadow Thieves... someone more or less unknown to us. |
| 24977 G-g-girls... ladies... d-don't fight! |
| 24978 Tiana...? My wife...? You fought for me... |
| 24979 War? What are you talking about, Viconia? |
| 24980 You are damned right I did! |
| 24981 I don't have time to hear you prattle on, Viconia... leave me be. |
| 24982 Oh, darling! I'm so sorry! Let's go home, all right, sweetums? |
| 24983 Priss? Pumpkin? Are you all right? |
| 24984 I... I'm all right, Rumie. The witch didn't hurt me too bad. |
| 24985 I'm so sorry, Prissy pumpkin! I didn't know this would happen! |
| 24986 Sorry, nothing. We're getting married, Rumie... NOW. |
| 24987 Don't talk of Sarevok like you know anything about it. Believe me, you haven't a clue... so remain quiet. |
| 24988 Why bring it up? I killed Sarevok. His plans for war died with him. |
| 24989 As you wish. |
| 24990 What makes you think that? Why would she be so interested in you personally? |
| 24991 The girl was a friend of yours? Well, she was a spellcaster, and so both she and the other were taken away by the Cowled Wizards. |
| 24992 Well, how have you survived since we parted ways? |
| 24993 Everyone must endure hardships, Viconia. Come... let's continue our journey. |
| 24994 Not much, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Everyone here in the promenade was quite frightened when the wizard began fighting those men, the ones in black. |
| 24995 Yes. You are in Waukeen's Promenade, in Athkatla. You ARE new here, as I suspected. |
| 24996 Well, I g-go by Tatu the Tiger Tamer. I was g-going to put on my sh-show this morning, b-but it got delayed because of a special p-performance. |
| 24997 Legs and handsâ€â€I have hands again! I am free of this horrible place! Thank you so much! I must... Giran! I hope my son hasn't gone far. Momma's on her way! |
| 24998 Not long after th-that, I felt sick all over. The tent g-got all wavy. I looked out into the main t-tent at the audience... th-they were all changing! |
| 24999 I, I'm not sure. People were changing, I could see it with m-my eyes. Like their skin was m-m-melting. |
| 25000 You fool! You... you truly know nothing... I am Kalah, an illusionist. I was made a clown-mage for the pleasure of the tall folk... but I bided my time... and I was... promised a world I could rule... |
| 25001 These merchants aren't nothing but cheats! They're out to get all me money! |
| 25002 I tells ye, the shopkeepers are all crooks! |
| 25003 Shoddy merchandise! Shoddy merchandise! It's all shoddy! |
| 25004 Ye haven't bought anything here, have ye? Well, don't! |
| 25005 You! Have you ever been cheated here? I bet ye have! |
| 25006 Me? Actually, I can't even remember the last time someone cheated ME out of anything. |
| 25007 We walked to his farmhouse, where his other son, a surly oaf named Funnard, was sickling quackgrass in the front yard. |
| 25008 You! Have you ever been cheated here? I bet ye have! |
| 25009 Nobody cheats Minsc! If somebody dares to cheat me, they are in for a boot-stomping adjustment to their moral value systems! |
| 25010 You! Have you ever been cheated here? I bet ye have! |
| 25011 What happened to the tower? It was all an illusion? None of it was real? |
| 25012 Of course not! Cheating is the vilest breach of basic trust and humanity. It would be punished most severely! |
| 25013 You! Have you ever been cheated here? I bet ye have! |
| 25014 Of course I have been cheated. And I have cheated others. Cheated death, cheated life... it is all the same thing, and the inevitable process of social decay. |
| 25015 Your grasp of the obvious rubs salt in my wounds... my world, my triumph... all gone... |
| 25016 What did you do then? |
| 25017 Enough of your morbid story, Viconia... I can hear no more. |
| 25018 Eh? Perhaps your eyes are better than mine. Do you see any salamander dust here? |
| 25019 Er... no, I don't. |
| 25020 What do you need salamander dust for? |
| 25021 He dropped to his knees in shock, which afforded me a height advantage as I caved his head with a miner's mallet. |
| 25022 Why not just ask the storekeeper? |
| 25023 Excuse me, I have to go. |
| 25024 I am... glad that you had your revenge. |
| 25025 That's horrid, Viconia! You didn't need to kill the farmers. Revenge only brings more suffering. |
| 25026 Titmice and tarnations! I was sure I saw some here the last time! Did somebody sneeze when I wasn't looking? *grumble*... |
| 25027 I am drow. And I let myself be lulled, foolishly. The vengeance was bitter, <CHARNAME>, because my own stupidity had made it necessary. |
| 25028 I let my guard lower once and paid the price for believing the surface-dwellers might let me be, <CHARNAME>. What do you know of suffering? |
| 25029 Hmmm... you're not a Cowled Wizard, are you? Hmmm... mmm... it's for soup. Yes, that's it. Salamander soup. For my, er, children... and things. *grumble* Do you see it or not? |
| 25030 Ribald? We are not on speaking terms. He tried to charge me three coppers for a bottle of pitch and a clutch of mice tails. Out-RAGEOUS! I won't speak to him until he apologizes. |
| 25031 How do you buy anything here, then? |
| 25032 Well, I don't see any salamander dust here, sorry. |
| 25033 Oh... what do you need salamander dust for? |
| 25034 Sorry... I have to go. |
| 25035 Flowerpots and fornication! An old man asks for some help from a younger, and what does he get? Attitude! *grumble*... |
| 25036 No, I don't see any here. |
| 25037 Why not just ask the storekeeper if he has any? |
| 25038 Sorry, I have to go. |
| 25039 Very quietly. *grumble* Now, look! Is it too much for an old man to ask? Do you see any bloody salamander dust or not? Hmph! |
| 25040 Er... no, I don't see anything here. |
| 25041 Why... hmmm... yes. Yes, I do. Waaaaay over at the other side of the store there. |
| 25042 I don't have time for this. So long. |
| 25043 Ooo! Really? |
| 25044 So what are ye lookin' at? Ye never seen someone stand by the counter before? |
| 25045 I've known Ribald here since... hmm... since that lil adventure there in Shadowdale. Isn't that right, Ribald? |
| 25046 I never met you in Shadowdale, Brelm. You got drunk here four months ago and haven't left. |
| 25047 Arr, don't be listenin' to him. What does he know? |
| 25048 I be fresh from the sailing ship, I am. Recently come from the Moonshaes. Arr, choppy seas, it is. |
| 25049 Brelm, you've never been on an actual ship once in your entire life. |
| 25050 Ye're goin' to keep openin' yer mouth, ain't ye? |
| 25051 Ye should be wary if ye wanders into th' Dock District... 'tis an area ruled by the thieves, it is. Nary a guard in sight. |
| 25052 Watch fer thieves in the slums and docks, me friend. Me... I be not worried. Killed three last week, I did. |
| 25053 You mean you were pickpocketed three times last week. |
| 25054 Ye should be wary of the Cowled Wizards, if ye e'er cross paths with them. They be a frightenin' lot... the only ones in Athkatla who may practice magic. |
| 25055 Landlord |
| 25056 Landlord |
| 25057 If that is what you wish, I shall cut a large measure of it. Excuse my interruption. |
| 25058 So, what do you think of Amn so far? It is certainly not without its charms, or its hardships lately. |

| 25063 There does not seem to be a healthy balance between the two. |
| 25064 Murtlen |
| 25065 Murtlen |
| 25066 Will you help me? We must join together once more, and our fury will be such that bards will run their quills dry! Yes, ink will be scarce where'er we go! |
| 25067 I will try and free you, but I don't know how to open your cell. |
| 25068 A stagnant pond of humanity and demihumans. I don't know how you lived here. |
| 25069 Yes, Minsc, I will do what I can. Don't get yourself excited. |
| 25070 Your being here shows you are weak. I will leave you where you are. |
| 25071 I do not know either. The bars have no lock at all; they are smithed together. I am proud that they feared me enough to imprison me permanently! |

| 25082 Waylane |
| 25083 Waylane |
| 25084 There is as much beauty as you are willing to see. The forests are grand, and the cities are tolerable in moderation. How much are you willing to see? |
| 25085 Bury it all as treasure then. I tire of your musings. |
| 25086 Brelm |
| 25087 Brelm |
| 25088 Gereth |
| 25089 Gereth |
| 25090 Are you insane? Perhaps it is best if I didn't release you. |
| 25091 Permanently? That's going to make this difficult. |
| 25092 I know you will do it! I only travel with heroes! |
| 25093 I can't help it. Freedom is to be mine, and even my permanently welded cell will not deter you! Yes, no lock at all! They feared me that much, and I am proud! |
| 25094 Okay, Minsc, but it's going to be difficult if the bars are permanently closed. |
| 25095 Permanently...? This is not worth the trouble. I'm leaving you here. |
| 25096 Lucy |
| 25097 You return! And with the means to rescue me, no doubt! Ho ho! I see hope in your face! Dirt mostly, but hope is there too! |
| 25098 I cannot find a way to open your cell. There is no key or switch. |
| 25099 Yes, yes, I will keep looking. Don't get anxious on me. |
| 25100 This is not worth my time. I've decided to leave you here. |
| 25101 But you will keep looking, of course! You would never give up, I know this! A hero always succeeds, and a hero never stops short of <PRO_HISHER> goal! |
| 25102 But <PRO_HESHE> also needs the key or switch! I don't know where they are! |
| 25103 I said I would try, and I will, but I will do it in my own time! |
| 25104 Blah blah, I've had enough. I'm leaving you here. |
| 25105 You... have brushed me aside with your words. You won't help... Boo can see it now! You do not intend to cut my chains! You only intend to yank them! |
| 25106 The bars! They bend and twist with my berserker strength! Minsc and Boo are free! Now you will n... now... |
| 25107 Ooh! Ooooh... oh ho, you are a smart one! I understand now! You said what you did just to get me mad! Mad enough to break free! Ha ha! You are as smart as Boo sometimes! |
| 25108 Now we can resume our adventures together! There are friends to avenge and villains to smack about the face and neck! Right, Boo? |
| 25109 Join with me, but you must serve me better than you did Dynaheir. |
| 25110 Together we shall make our enemies answer for our fallen. |
| 25111 Um... yeah. I think perhaps we should... split up. |
| 25112 A skylight in the roof shines light through this hole into the basement. |
| 25113 Now, I don't be telling stories about ye, does I? |
| 25114 You've never even met a Cowled Wizard... |
| 25115 I daresay I did, Ribald. Two of 'em at once, an' they regretted it too. |
| 25116 I would be willing to bet the only thing they regretted about meeting you was having to put up with your smell. |
| 25117 Now... now, I say, just what kind o' friend are ye anyway to say such things about me? |
| 25118 Ye aren't a thief, are ye? The Adventure Mart here don't put up wi' no thievery business. |
| 25119 There be a huge silver sphere that they say appeared in the slums out o' nowhere, it did. |
| 25120 Did you even go and see it? |
| 25121 Aye, I did. Last week. Huge thing, it is, larger than life an' twice as grim. No one knows how t' get inside... and no one's come out. |
| 25122 You were drunk all last week. |
| 25123 Well, I still went an' seen it, blast it! I ain't blind! |
| 25124 That's not what you said after nine pitchers of that Turmish whiskey you drank the day before last... |
| 25125 Well, I be allergic to Turmish. An' besides, it has naught to do with yon sphere. |
| 25126 Ah, but I do miss me adventurin' days... |
| 25127 Ah, but I do miss me adventurin' days... |
| 25128 What adventuring days? |
| 25129 Me adventurin' days! When I was an adventurer true, blast it! Does I have to be spellin' it out fer ye? |
| 25130 I thought you were a cobbler. |
| 25131 Well... well, I does some cobblin' NOW, sure. But BEFORE that, I were an adventurer! |
| 25132 Oh? And where have you been, oh mighty and experienced adventurer? |
| 25133 I... well, if ye must be knowin', I was well known in Scornubel for a time. |
| 25134 So you must have met Lord Francis, then. Or Denal Sixfingers. They both lived there last I was in Scornubel. |
| 25135 Er... well, I... no. *grumble* Sometimes, I really does hate ye, Ribald. |
| 25136 *snort* *giggle* Hee hehehehe... |
| 25137 Ha ha! *snicker* *giggle* Hoo hoo hahaha! |
| 25138 Heh... *snort* Ha ha ha! |
| 25139 I'm warning ye, Ribald... ye keep that wyvern away from me now... |
| 25140 Lucy wouldn't hurt a soul, Brelm. |
| 25141 You just mind me now! I don' like the look of it, an' I don' like the smell of it. So there. |
| 25142 Ahhh... hello, my dear lady. You do look so... delicious... that the mere thought of wrapping my tongue around you enflames my mind with feelings of desire... |
| 25143 That's a cute line, but I'm hardly interested. Go away. |
| 25144 Who are you and what do you want? |
| 25145 Really? Hmmm... I am having thoughts very much along those lines myself... |
| 25146 You wound me, my darling cub! I only wish to gorge myself on your beauty, to sate myself on your divine presence! |
| 25147 Oh, brother. I told you to go away, and I meant it. |
| 25148 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 25149 My, that is quite the line... I feel myself getting warm and tingly all over... |
| 25150 My name is Salvanas di Riyos, and all I want is to be entwined by your arms in the embrace of sweet passion for a fortnight... |

| 25177 Now you're just making me ill. Go away before I do something to alter your bodily functions. |

| 25201 BERSERKER: This is a warrior who is in tune with <PRO_HISHER> animalistic side and, during combat, can achieve an ecstatic state of mind that will enable <PRO_HIMHER> to fight longer, harder, and more savagely than any person has a right to. Berserkers tend to be barbarian-like in nature, but not always. Sometimes it is a conscious choice that a warrior in training makes. Regardless, opponents on the battlefield will be unsettled when they see the savage and inhuman elements of the Berserker's personality. This class is common amongst dwarves, known to them as the Battlerager. Advantages: – May use Rage ability once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 4 levels thereafter. RAGE: The enraged state lasts for 1 turn. While enraged, a Berserker gains a bonus of +2 to <PRO_HISHER> attack and damage rolls as well as to <PRO_HISHER> Armor Class, and becomes immune to charm, confusion, fear, feeblemind, hold, imprisonment, level drain, maze, stun, and sleep. The Berserker also gains 15 temporary Hit Points which are taken away at the end of <PRO_HISHER> berserk spree, possibly knocking <PRO_HIMHER> unconscious. Disadvantages: – Becomes winded after berserking: -2 penalty to Armor Class, to-hit rolls, and damage rolls. – May not Specialize in ranged weapons. – Alignment restricted to any non-lawful. |
| 25202 Will none of you people listen? Anyone?! I've helped your kind... now why won't you help me? |
| 25203 WIZARD SLAYER: This warrior has been specially trained by <PRO_HISHER> sect to excel in hunting and combating spellcasters of all kinds. Advantages: – Each successful hit bestows a 25% cumulative chance of spell failure on the target. – +1% Magic Resistance per level through level 19. – Alternating +5% and +1% Magic Resistance from level 20 onwards. Disadvantages: – May not use any magic items apart from weapons and armor. |
| 25204 KENSAI: This class's name, which means "sword saint" in the common tongue, refers to a warrior who has been specially trained to be one with <PRO_HISHER> weapon. The kensai is deadly, fast, and trained to fight without the protection of armor. (Note: Despite its common name, a Kensai may use any melee weapon with which <PRO_HESHE> is proficient.) Advantages: – +2 bonus to Armor Class. – +1 to hit and damage rolls every 3 levels. – -1 bonus to Speed Factor every 4 levels. – May use the Kai ability once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 4 levels thereafter. KAI: All successful attacks within the next 10 seconds deal maximum damage. Disadvantages: – May not wear any armor. – May not use missile weapons. – May not wear gauntlets or bracers. – Alignment restricted to any non-chaotic. |
| 25205 Murtlen |
| 25206 CAVALIER: This class represents the most common picture of the knight: the chivalrous warrior who epitomizes honor, courage, and loyalty. The cavalier is specialized in battling "classical" evil monsters such as demons and dragons. Advantages: – +3 bonus to hit and damage rolls against all fiendish and draconic creatures. – May cast Remove Fear 1 time per day per level. – Immune to charm, fear, poison, and morale failure. – 20% resistance to fire and acid. Disadvantages: – May not use missile weapons. |
| 25207 INQUISITOR: The Inquisitor has dedicated <PRO_HISHER> life to finding and eliminating practitioners of evil magic and defeating the forces of darkness, and <PRO_HISHER> god has provided <PRO_HIMHER> with special abilities toward that end. Advantages: – May cast Dispel Magic once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 4 levels thereafter. The spell is cast at Speed Factor 1 and acts at twice the Inquisitor's character level. – May cast True Sight once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 4 levels thereafter. – Immune to hold and charm. Disadvantages: – May not turn undead. – May not use the Lay On Hands ability. – May not cast priest spells. |
| 25208 UNDEAD HUNTER: This holy avenger has honed <PRO_HISHER> abilities toward the destruction of the undead and other unnatural creatures and is immune to many of their most devastating abilities. Advantages: – +3 bonus to hit and damage rolls against undead creatures. – Immune to hold and level drain. Disadvantages: – May not use Lay On Hands ability. |
| 25209 ARCHER: The Archer is the epitome of skill with the bowâ€â€the ultimate marks<PRO_MANWOMAN>, able to make almost any shot, no matter how difficult. To become so skilled with the bow, the Archer has had to sacrifice some of <PRO_HISHER> proficiency with melee weapons and armor. Advantages: – +1 to hit and damage rolls with any missile weapon every 3 levels. – May achieve Grand Mastery (5 slots) in longbows, shortbows, and crossbows. – May use the Called Shot ability once per day. Gains one use at level 4 and an additional use every 4 levels thereafter. CALLED SHOT: All successful ranged attacks within the next 10 seconds have the following cumulative effects besides normal damage, according to the level of the Archer: 4th level: -1 penalty to target's THAC0. 8th level: -1 penalty to target's Saving Throws vs. Spell. 12th level: -1 penalty to the target's Strength score. 16th level: +2 bonus to damage roll. Disadvantages: – May not wear any metal armor. – May only become Proficient (one slot) with melee weapons. – May not use the Charm Animal ability. |
| 25210 Undoubtedly you overheard that false prophet in the street? His tales of a new lord are most disturbing, and I worry for the safety of those that would follow. |
| 25211 STALKER: Stalkers serve as covert intelligence-gatherers, comfortable in both wilderness and urban settings. They are spies, informants, and interrogators, and their mastery of stealth makes them deadly opponents. Advantages: – +20% to Move Silently and Hide In Shadows. – May use Backstab ability, although for a lower damage multiplier than Thieves: Level 1-8: x2 Level 9-16: x3 Level 17+: x4 – 12th level: May memorize 3 Mage spells: Haste, Protection From Normal Missiles, and Minor Spell Deflection.

| 25228 Are there signs of trouble? I do not want to step on the toes of a legitimate faith. |
| 25229 A moment, friend! You are obviously not aligned with our captors! Might I know your name? |
| 25230 My name is <CHARNAME>, and I am certainly not aligned with these men. Who are you? |
| 25231 My name is my own business. What is it that you wish? |
| 25232 I've no time to waste speaking with you. |
| 25233 I am Hendak, once a warrior from the North until my capture. I was sold to Lehtinan many years ago to serve as one of the fighters here in these pits. |
| 25234 I have done what I can to keep myself and the other fighters alive, with the thought that one day I would take my vengeance upon that demon, Lehtinan. |
| 25235 You have worked my vengeance for me, and for that I thank you. I would ask that you free us and allow me to take this place, this inn of Lehtinan's. |
| 25236 I would see it be made a proper inn and ensure that it never return to the hands of slavers. Please... I, who have never begged before, I beg this of you now... |
| 25237 Wait! Don't leave us! I sense you have a soul that will not let us rot here, and I know you have prowess enough to release us! |
| 25238 I'm willing to help you, Hendak. How do I free you and the other slaves? |
| 25239 I'm willing to help you, Hendak. How do I free you and the other slaves? |
| 25240 It seems like a lot of trouble. Why should I free you? |
| 25241 I do not think I can help you right now. You will have to remain where you are. |
| 25242 I think I rather like seeing a proud man beg. I've nothing against keeping slaves, Hendak, so you'll remain in your cage where you belong. |
| 25243 I suppose I might be able to help you. Tell me who you are first. |
| 25244 Thank you, but I still have no desire to waste time helping you. |
| 25245 I've nothing against slavery. You'll rot in your cage until somebody decides to release you. |
| 25246 Very well, I will do what I can. |
| 25247 Very well, I will do what I can. |
| 25248 Sorry, I don't have the time to help you. |
| 25249 Forget it. Nothing in my conscience dictates releasing you. |
| 25250 Anything I can do to help the faithful. What is it that I should do? |
| 25251 He seemed to prey on people's need for security. Can you not offer the same? |
| 25252 I, Hendak, plead with you to aid people who have little to give you in return except their eternal gratitude! |
| 25253 *sigh* Very well... I will do what I can. |
| 25254 *sigh* Very well... I will do what I can. |
| 25255 Perhaps later... I must go now. |
| 25256 Forget it. Free yourselves. |

| 25263 Well, er, this particular sphere (if it is, indeed, the same one) I believe to be the very same one built by Lavok over five hundred years ago. |
| 25264 Only his apprentice escaped, and the boy knew little except that Lavok planned to explore the planes and return within ten years. Of course, he never did come back. |
| 25265 Oh, it only appeared here about three weeks ago. Displaced the buildings that were here too, and I can only imagine what happened to them. |
| 25266 Boo |
| 25267 Oh, yes, of course. They are the only legal users of magic allowed in the city. And even they cannot seem to be able to find a way in. |
| 25268 Boo |
| 25269 Why, hello to you, dear customers! Welcome to the pit! |
| 25270 The pit? You have animal fights back here too, then? |
| 25271 Better than that! Here we have the very best in live entertainment! Actual combat between man and beast, presented for your viewing pleasure! |
| 25272 Witness as the Coronet's own gladiators fight for their lives in the pit! Feel free to join the nobles in the viewing balcony above, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 25273 Gladiators? There are people willing to risk their lives in this pit of yours? |
| 25274 Isn't this sort of thing illegal? |
| 25275 Isn't this sort of thing illegal? |
| 25276 I see. When is the next match? |
| 25277 Thank you, I'll be on my way. |
| 25278 Willing or unwilling, it makes little difference. The gladiators fight to amuse our clientele... I'm sure you'll agree they put on an excellent show! |
| 25279 You mean that they're slaves. |
| 25280 I see. When is the next fight? |
| 25281 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 25282 The legalities are such a technicality... the amusements are here for your enjoyment. Let Lehtinan and his staff worry about such matters as legality. |
| 25283 So... you're saying that there are fighters willing to risk their lives for the sake of entertainment? |
| 25284 I see. When is the next fight? |
| 25285 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 25286 I understand there is a match ready to be underway very soon! Go on in, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, and see for yourself! |
| 25287 So... you're saying that there are fighters willing to risk their lives for the sake of entertainment? |
| 25288 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 25289 Isn't this sort of thing illegal? |
| 25290 As you wish, my <LADYLORD>. Enjoy! |
| 25291 Slavery is such a harsh word, my <LADYLORD>. Here, we think of them as purchased employees... and an excellent source of entertainment! Go on in and witness it for yourself! |
| 25292 I don't mean necessarily merely settling down. I mean a union witnessed by sacrament and ritual, such as is custom amongst your kind. |
| 25293 I see. When is the next match? |
| 25294 Isn't slavery and this sort of barbarism illegal? |
| 25295 I suppose I'll be on my way, then. |
| 25296 I hope you are enjoying the entertainments of the Copper Coronet, my <LADYLORD>! |
| 25297 My people have a peculiar approach to the ceremony of marriage. We choose and discard mates freely, always with the possibility of renewal and change. |
| 25298 Usually a decade, perhaps less, and it's on to the next likely prospect. Marriage is a transient union, usually of gratification and indulgence. |
| 25299 The male is only present for servicing the female's needs, and for procreation or recreation, depending upon your disposition. |
| 25300 Tell me, how did you come to be trapped here? |
| 25301 **REMOVED** |
| 25302 Do you know a way out of this place? |
| 25303 I care little for a warrior who cannot take care of himself in battle. |
| 25304 If they deserve it. Placing demands on the woman of the house is not done. To voice protest about the wishes of the matriarch is punishable by execution. |
| 25305 I would be pleased to have you join me. |
| 25306 The second last to die by my hand was Riklaunim, a devious, controlling snake whose head leapt from his shoulders with a look of surprise I found most humorous. |
| 25307 Everything that has gone wrong these days is because of those vile elves... they are the plague of the world, I tell you! |
| 25308 And my sister's suitor, Gomph, was prodigiously endowed but bowlegged. An obluth... an outcast. She must have heard us in bedchambers and couldn't help herself. |
| 25309 Have you ever looked closely at an elf, aye? Narrow little eyes... narrow little faces... that can't be trusted! |
| 25310 I would welcome another companion, but I have a few questions first. |
| 25311 All elves should be hunted down and put to death! I swear it shall be done! |
| 25312 I do not think that it would be wise. I'll be better off navigating this place without you. |
| 25313 I would be pleased to have you join me. |
| 25314 You! The worst of that vile elven race! The touch of evil is upon you, I swear it! |
| 25315 Never! The elven race should be seared from the face of Faerûn, but you... you drow... with your evil, blighted, cancerous hearts...! |
| 25316 EVERYONE! SEE THE FACE OF TRUE EVIL HERE BEFORE US! A DROW ELF! |
| 25317 *hiss* Enough, human! |
| 25318 I SHALL CLEANSE THIS DEVIL FROM OUR MIDST! AAAAHHHHH! |
| 25319 You! One of that vilest race of elves! How dare you approach me! How dare you walk amongst us! |
| 25320 What is this? Why do you exhibit such an unpleasant demeanor? What have my people done to deserve such hatred from you? |
| 25321 You elves with your arrogant pride! You are snakes in the garden, serpents among us who will only lead us to evil! |
| 25322 I lead no one to evil, human. And we elves have reason to be proud... we are an old race, far older than you. |
| 25323 You admit it! Elven harlot! Pride goeth before the fall! Your people shall pay for their hubris, I swear it! |
| 25324 You are a fool, human, and I've no reason to discuss anything with you further. |
| 25325 Oh, look... the moody <CHARNAME> does not feel like talking. What a surprise. |
| 25326 You! Another of that foul race of elves I see before me! How dare you walk openly amongst us! |
| 25327 That is a fair request, though certainly you will see the need as I do. You are like us at the temple, and a relationship between us would be good for both. |
| 25328 B-but I... I have done nothing against you! Why do you rail at me so? |
| 25329 You are an evil creature! You and all your kin, lewd pagans among us! Admit your pride, elf! Admit it! |
| 25330 I... I do not understand why you do this, sir, but I have done nothing to deserve it. I will not stand to have you cast such insults at me. |
| 25331 "Will not stand"? "Will not"?! Yet more elven pride! You elves are like ants... mindless and alien as you crawl about us! |
| 25332 <CHARNAME>, can we just leave, please? I truly do not like this man. |
| 25333 You! Another loathsome elf walks boldly amongst us! You dare to wrap yourself in your race's pride! |
| 25334 Excuse me? What have I done to deserve such a judgment? |
| 25335 Who are you to cast such words at me? |
| 25336 You had best watch your words, human, or you shall find yourself making me quite angry. |
| 25337 Don't worry... I'll be here to protect you. |
| 25338 I have no time to speak with you. |
| 25339 You and your kin are all the same! Cunning and underhanded, not to be trusted! You shall be cleansed from the world, I swear it! |
| 25340 You're no prize either, you selfish bitch! I can't believe I let you talk me into this! |
| 25341 Nothing I or my elven kin have done deserves such words of hate. I shall leave you to your bitter pettiness. |
| 25342 You had best watch your tongue, human... you are beginning to make me angry. |
| 25343 I don't believe you, Viconia. You opened up to me... and now you snap shut again. Why? |
| 25344 I have no time to listen to such garbage. Excuse me. |
| 25345 I am Belmin Gergas, elf... my son and daughter, both dead at the hands of your evil race! I shall see your kind wiped from the face of Faerûn, I will! |
| 25346 (The voice takes on a solemn tone.) Four locks are cast and made. Four wards will hold the blade. In what order shall thou place the keys? Four deaths await thee. |
| 25347 I feel for your loss, but I cannot support your reasoning. I shall leave you to wallow in your twisted hate, then. |
| 25348 You should watch your words, human. I had nothing to do with these deaths, and your accusations are beginning to anger me. |
| 25349 Come on, what about now? Let's kill! |
| 25350 Well, I'll just leave you be, then. |
| 25351 I have no fear of you, elf! Your kind is a perversion to the natural order, a cancer among humanity! Come at me, if you will, and be taught a lesson! |
| 25352 Very well then, fool... you asked for it! |
| 25353 You're not worth it. I'll leave you to stew in your petty hatred. |
| 25354 Blighted fiend, with your pointed ears! You are a demonic version of us! You shall be cleansed, you hear me? CLEANSED! |
| 25355 Elven demon! Foul purveyor of evil seed! One day, humanity shall recognize you for the evil you are! And then you shall die! ALL OF YOU SHALL DIE! |
| 25356 Do not deny your salivating male desires, fool. I found the thought of your touch pleasing, but now I know better... you are nothing more than a boy in man's clothing! |
| 25357 DIE, ELF! RAAAAGGGHH! |
| 25358 Not worth it? NOT WORTH IT?! I shall see every last one of you flayed from your skin! Wiped from the face of Faerûn! One day, it SHALL happen! |
| 25359 Sir Zarath |
| 25360 I do so be missing my homeland... one day I am swearing to Calimshan I shall return. Yes, one day. |
| 25361 Sir Zarath |
| 25362 Eh? Please be excusing me... this common tongue of yours is being very difficult for me. |
| 25363 I am so finding this strange city and its customs very odd, yes? So very different from my Calimshan. |
| 25364 Do you not be finding the temperature is very cold? I am used to great, blazing deserts of Calim. |
| 25365 This be the market? But it be so small and dull. In Calimshan, the markets be big and colorful! Silken dresses and stalls at every corner! Ah, I do so miss the bazaars... |
| 25366 If this is how you're going to act, then just leave me alone, all right? |
| 25367 You're no prize either, you selfish bitch! I can't believe I let you talk me into this! |
| 25368 Hmm. The drow have a more formal ritual, though it does vary place to place. "The Blooding" must be performed by both sexes upon reaching the age of maturity. |
| 25369 Excusing me, please! You be looking like a good fellow. Can you be helping me? |
| 25370 I am always willing to help those in need! I will give your troubles the one-two boot-stomp of goodness! |
| 25371 I am Sir Mardus, Guardian of Torm. May duty prevail, my friend. Torm's blessing upon thee. |
| 25372 Oh, no, no, it is being nothing like that. I am great adventurer from Calimshan, great warrior. But I be lost here in this odd little city. |
| 25373 Very well, though I see no reason for us to be at odds. I can see in your manner we share a common nature of faith. It is why you were selected from the crowd. |
| 25374 I am Sir Mardus, Guardian of Torm. Learn to follow the path of Torm, seeker. May duty prevail. |
| 25375 I sometimes feel lost, but Boo tells me where to go. Boo points, I punch! Well, Boo actually just kind of runs, but I still punch! Yes, sir! |
| 25376 The young must hunt down and kill an intelligent surfacer, preferably of the adventurer's cloth. |
| 25377 Oh, that is being most excellent! I am trying to be finding directions out of this strange city. Maybe you ask this Boo point way to Calimshan, yes? |
| 25378 Boo knows everything, and is ever so willing to help others. You... you are kind to animals, aren't you? Rodents in particular? |
| 25379 Eh, to the best of my knowledge, I try. Maybe I hurt a rat once or twice, but they infest the farms of home. |
| 25380 Boo doesn't like rats either. Something about their tails makes him... edgy, and you don't know creepy until you've seen an edgy hamster! |
| 25381 I earned passage with tongue and moans, <CHARNAME>, with more males than you can count. And you are nothing compared to them. Any of them. |
| 25382 Most excellent news! That be one intelligent little Boo you having! |
| 25383 I am Sir Mardus, Guardian of Torm. Take you carcass out of my sight, foul one! By Torm's hand shall your ilk be taken from the earth. |
| 25384 I must be getting one for myself. Okay, thanking you and farewell! |
| 25385 Yes, Boo is friend to all. Such greatness, packed into a small furry bundle of goodness. |
| 25386 My house insisted on the head of a holy warrior, so I brought my matron mother the head of one Khilgind Sigandulba, a priest of some cult and man-about-the-frontier. |
| 25387 He thought me a beggar seeking guidance. He was surprised when he learned I was drow, but not as much as when I used his own holy mace to cave his forehead. |
| 25388 I be a retired adventurer, my friend. Nothing sadder than one who has left the Way behind him. |
| 25389 And this made you an adult? |
| 25390 I have left me thievin' days far, far behind me now. Best pickpocket ever is retired. |
| 25391 The young thieves these days, they not be knowin' what they're doin'. All vicious and murderin'... in my day, we were respected. None were as smooth as me. |
| 25392 That sounds horrible! |
| 25393 Ye should step carefully around the Shadow Thieves, my friend. Take it from one who should know, aye? |
| 25394 I be hearing that there be another guild challengin' the Shadow Thieves. Bah! In my days, no one would 'ave thought o' doing such a thing. We had respect then. |
| 25395 It gained me respect in a society ruled by cruelty and ambition. I had lain with a male long before... many times, in fact. That is no measure of a drow. |
| 25396 I must say, some days I do surely miss me adventurin' and thievin' days... the Way were good to me then. The best pickpocket ever is retired. |
| 25397 Hello there, young feller... I knows ye, don't I? Yoshimo, isn't it? |
| 25398 Yarin? Yarin, you old leather fossil! How goes your retirement? |
| 25399 Eh... I find meself several days behind schedule on me sleep and several weeks ahead on me ales. All in all, it could be worse. |
| 25400 That's so sad I want to vomit. |
| 25401 Listen here, whippersnapper, you'll get your dues soon enough. See if ye live on the Way long enough to reach my age, aye? |
| 25402 I am Sir Zarath, Guardian of Tyr. This is the path: Reveal the truth, punish the guilty, right the wrong. |
| 25403 I'll outlive you and then some, Yarin, just you wait. |
| 25404 That's what all the young 'uns think. We'll see. |
| 25405 And the act pleased Lolth. Pleasing the Spider Queen was our ethos and our mantra... girding ourselves to conquer the other races. |
| 25406 Thievin's a waste of a life, let me tell you surely. A true waste. |
| 25407 And neither would we. Certainly the emergence of a new deity is not unheard of, and there is much room for complimentary faiths in the realms. |
| 25408 Why do you say that, old man? |
| 25409 Because I been there, missy. I been an adventurer, an' I been a thief. An' nothing good ever came from it. |
| 25410 Maybe you just weren't very good. |
| 25411 Oh, sure, make fun of an old man. But I tells ye, I was good enough, surely. Once ye spend yer life thievin', what do you do next when ye loses yer speed an' yer agilty? |
| 25412 I tells ye what. Ye grows old and ye dies, that's what ye does. An' ye never thieves again. |
| 25413 Well, I intend to do some good with my abilities. There are a lot of poor people who I can help... and I can help <CHARNAME> in <PRO_HISHER> quest, too. |
| 25414 I am Sir Zarath, Guardian of Tyr. Justice always, friend. |
| 25415 Ye think I had nary a dream, girlie? Ahhh, of course ye doesn't. Go on, then. Go and do yer adventurin'. |
| 25416 If you have a change of heart, I will be here for a day or two more. The keep will not hold out for long, and I have to join the fight. Until then, please think about it. |
| 25417 Of course it is horrible. Drow society is founded on horror and cruelty, if you remember. Laying with a male would be no measure of a drow, that is for certain. |
| 25418 Ach, me thievin' days be over and then some, I reckon. |
| 25419 Such is the order of things as I understand them. Youth and vitality leads to age and infirmity. All things lend themselves eventually to decay. |
| 25420 Ye talks high an' mighty enough... is ye a thief? |
| 25421 I would not name such as my profession, but I have lent my abilities to speed up the procession of decay in society, yes. |
| 25422 That's what I thought ye said. Ye're not afraid of growin' old and dyin'? |
| 25423 As I said, I am fully aware of the natural way of things... decay is the ultimate process. |
| 25424 One thing t' say it, my friend... another thing entirely t' live it. |
| 25425 Yes... well, I must admit I do not look forward to my own decay. I imagine myself being full of memories of a life well-lived by then, however... those, I think, shall comfort me. |
| 25426 No! It's not like that at all! I just... I do what I can, and try to be a good person. Those foppish snobs that hold themselves above everyone make me ill. |
| 25427 Ice Shard |
| 25428 *sniff* I... I'm lost. I can't find me mommy... |
| 25429 Where do you live, child? |
| 25430 Who is your mother? Perhaps I can find her for you. |
| 25431 What? You are no better than Mumsy's friends! They sneer at their servants and order them about like chattel. They have no idea of the hardships they endure. |
| 25432 Quit your sniveling, child. |
| 25433 We... we don't live anywhere. *sniff* Mommy doesn't have any money. |
| 25434 I see. Maybe tell me about your mother... maybe I can find her for you. |
| 25435 Oh, don't bother me then, you little street urchin. |
| 25436 Here, child... here's a gold piece for you. Buy yourself some food... and give the rest to your mother when you see her. |
| 25437 Me mommy is... is... she's my mommy... *sniff* I just want my mommy! Please, please, I just want my mommy! |
| 25438 Shhh, tell me where you live, then. |
| 25439 This is ridiculous. Stop sniveling, child. |
| 25440 There is no time! I only hope that the attackers have not made it inside. If they have... if they have breached the inner courtyard, they will be hard to rout. |
| 25441 I will tell you what secrets I can. Perhaps you will be able to sneak in and attack from a more vulnerable spot. I hope Father is all right. He... would not leave. |
| 25442 B-b-b-but... I... I... *sniff* wwaaAAAAHHHH! |
| 25443 Should I travel with you? I've spent a few weeks slumming, and I am quite capable of opening the odd lock. I had to pick three just to get out of the main keep. |
| 25444 Y-y-yes, <SIRMAAM>. Th-thank you. *sniff* Ye're an awfully nice person. |
| 25445 I will meet you at my land. I will mark it on your map. We had best gather south of the keep so we are not spotted. Please be quick. |
| 25446 You're back! Have you reconsidered? The offer still stands. If we do not go soon, my family's keep will be overrun, and not all the swordsmen in Calimshan will make a bit of difference then. |
| 25447 Yes, I... I should have told you previously, but others refused to help when they found out. We are... beset by trolls. A vast number of them. |
| 25448 "There once was a warrior true, With the sense knocked out of him too. But in a hamster he found Some wisdom profound, And now where goes he goes his Boo!" |
| 25449 The main assault began just a few nights ago. I think they were driven from the north by the elves, or perhaps the new settlements south of Tethyr. |
| 25450 Please! There is no one else! Think of my family! Think of the servants and their families! The servants! That's it! The trolls may not have killed all the servants because they pose little threat. |
| 25451 The guards may be dead, but the servants will have seen the attack and will know how many strong the invaders are. Please, if you stay, we may have a chance. |
| 25452 Eh? You are speaking of me? How do you know this? |
| 25453 Tee-hee hee! |
| 25454 "There once was an elf proud and fair; Men withered once under her stare. But she loved one man true, And he died... as men do, And now there is naught but grief there." |
| 25455 I know, I know. Wait! The servants wouldn't have posed much threat to the trolls. Some of them may be alive inside, and they would know numbers and strengths. |
| 25456 I... I use it to occasionally sneak out while my parents aren't looking. They don't much like me interacting with the local peasants, but I can do so much for them. |
| 25457 They seem to get enjoyment by making the peasants beg for scraps. I thought you better than that, but I was wrong. Go then, and I'll do what I can on my own. |
| 25458 Are... are you speaking of me? And Khalid? How do you know of this? Answer me! |
| 25459 "There once was a man full of woes, Strong and mighty he smote all his foes. Soon he'll take his Test. To him it's no jest. If he'll pass, not even he knows." |
| 25460 Perhaps a strategic course would be better. You can approach from north of the palisade. There is a secret door that allows entry along the base of the keep wall. |
| 25461 I... I used it to occasionally sneak out while my parents weren't looking. They don't much like me interacting with the local peasants, but I can do so much for them. |
| 25462 Is this nonsense directed at me? What is this? Speak, man! |
| 25463 "There once was an elf of the Dark Whose bite was far worse than her bark. Left without a home, on the surface she'll roam; In the sun she might just make her mark." |
| 25464 You can go on your own, but I am still willing to join. I know the keep well, and I can take to a shadow as quick as nobles to wine. I studied a bit of magery too! |
| 25465 I do not "bark," you gibbering fool. What do you know of me? |
| 25466 "There once was an elf who could fly; Without wings, she was sure she would die. But soon she'll have found That it is on the ground That her true destiny does lie." |
| 25467 I want to go out and walk amidst the filth, helping those of the lower tiers. They need someone, you know? Let's go; Daleson awaits. |
| 25468 You... you know of me? What do you know of my destiny? |
| 25469 "There once was a knight pure of heart; From his wife he is always apart. Has his heart grown colder As his deeds grew bolder? What is finished can never restart." |
| 25470 How dare you speak of my wife! How do you know of this? HOW?! |
| 25471 "There once was a halfling so pure, She's a paladin, as sure as she's sure. If she's lucky one day, Her goddess will smile and say That the lack of one she'll no longer endure." |
| 25472 How... how do you know all of this? |
| 25473 "There once was a man so afraid That his soul was to be soon waylaid; See, the wizard's returned In his sphere, he has learned, But has he learned if a soul can be weighed?" |
| 25474 Fellow prisoner that you must be, there is no time for idle chatter. Get <CHARNAME> so we can work on getting out. I have to talk to <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 25475 Zaviera |
| 25476 Zaviera |
| 25477 How do you know about me? Tell me! |
| 25478 Belmin Gergas |
| 25479 Belmin Gergas |
| 25480 "There once was a child of... of..." |
| 25481 Radeel |
| 25482 Oh my... |
| 25483 Radeel |
| 25484 What is it? How do you know so much about us? |
| 25485 Tell me what you know about us, or I'll knock you from one end of this city to the other! |
| 25486 I... I... *giggle*... the gods speak! They speak and speak and speak and speak! To ME! Hee hee... |

| 25502 I am Sir Zarath, Guardian of Tyr. Beware, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER> of foul chaos. You shall taste punishment for your deeds. |
| 25503 Excuse me, <SIRMAAM>, but this is a private estate. I'm afraid you will have to leave immediately. |
| 25504 Whose estate is this? |
| 25505 You're going to have to force me, because I intend on going where I like. |
| 25506 All right, I'm going. |
| 25507 This is the estate of the merchant Saerk yn Muham el Farrahd, if you must know. The merchant and his family are not home at the present, so please leave at once. |
| 25508 As you wish. Men! Intruders! |
| 25509 Quickly, now. The merchant does not appreciate unwelcome visitors. |
| 25510 The Delryn whelp?! Men! Come at once! Intruders! |
| 25511 Men! Come at once! Intruders! |
| 25512 What th...! You're not supposed to be here! Men! Intruders! |
| 25513 What is the meaning of all this commotion? What is going on here?! |
| 25514 F-father? I heard some noise...? |
| 25515 I see at last the serpent slithers out of hiding to reveal himself! Come then, fiend, and prepare to be dealt righteous vengeance! |
| 25516 What is this? Ah... I see that old lizard Cor has finally sent his whelp to deal with me, eh? |
| 25517 Come on! I'll drag you out of here if I have to, just so long as we get out! I can't go through any more. |
| 25518 Don't look at me like that. It just hurts, all right? Must have been the noise. There was a fight... assassins came after our captor, I think. |
| 25519 We are confident this is not the case. Signs from the Morninglord have been worrying, and the loss of our members to this cult makes it our duty to investigate. |
| 25520 Slave Boy |
| 25521 Slave Boy |
| 25522 You will not speak my father's name! |
| 25523 This is Anomen? Oh, can I kill him, Father? Please? |
| 25524 Of course you can, Yusef. I will take whatever opportunity I can to strike at Cor's heart, and this one has all but fallen into our laps. |
| 25525 So you admit it! You admit to your part in Moira's murder! |
| 25526 Slave Girl |
| 25527 I would agree, though a more relaxed tour through would help my outlook. |
| 25528 Slave Girl |
| 25529 I admit to nothing! I have already cut out your father's heart and soul by stealing every last piece of business he has! I have ruined him and beaten him down like the mukrah dog that he is! |
| 25530 And here you give me the opportunity to strike at him again! His son... thundering into my home... it would only be right to defend ourselves, no? |
| 25531 Calishite demon! I know that you murdered my poor, innocent sister! I will see you dead and rotting for that deed, I swear! |
| 25532 Ah, yes, we all know the worth of the vow of a Delryn. I hope the girl rots in her grave, boy. It is all you and your family deserve! |
| 25533 You spit upon her memory?! Very well, demon... I shall teach you the pain of losing one so dear! |
| 25534 Father! Help me! |
| 25535 Surayah! |
| 25536 No! Stop! V-very well, Delryn... you have made your point! I... I beg you not to harm this innocent flower of my house! |
| 25537 And did Moira beg for her life before it was taken? Was she any less innocent than this girl? Was she too part of your quarrel with my father? I think not! |
| 25538 That is the drow's goal, is it? To conquer the other races? |
| 25539 Yes, I think I will do that. |
| 25540 You shall pay for that crime with equal measure! |
| 25541 Aiiyeee! |
| 25542 Nooo! You vile dog! I shall cut out your black heart for this! |
| 25543 But the matron mothers were there to judge; obedience was required, hesitation was death. It must be done and in a manner that would please Lolth: cold, clean, and final. |
| 25544 My daughter! You wish war between us, whelp? Very well! GUARDS! |
| 25545 Wh...? Oh, by my stars and garters... HEEELLLP! THIEEEEVES! |
| 25546 By Ilmater! Intruders! INTRUDERS! |
| 25547 Good business, my friends. Is there aught that I can help you with? |
| 25548 Yes, honorable magistrate. I am seeking information on the murder of my sister, Moira Delryn. |
| 25549 Ah... you must be the son of Lord Cor. Anomen, is it? I am afraid that there is very little I can tell you regarding your sister's death. |
| 25550 What do you mean? Surely you have found evidence to link Saerk to her murder? The man will be brought before the courts to meet justice, will he not? |
| 25551 There is insufficient evidence to connect Saerk Farrahd to the murder. The only other person in your father's estate at the time was killed as well. |
| 25552 Yes, my father... cannot afford additional guards and servants, it seems. But... is there nothing you can do? Surely you know that Saerk is responsible! |
| 25553 I know of your family's feud with the merchant, but a motive is not enough without witnesses or evidence. The rule of law must prevail... surely you understand. |
| 25554 No! There must be something that can be done! Moira's murder cannot go unanswered! |
| 25555 Answered? Take vengeance on the merchant and he replies in kind, and the feud continues unabated. Is it not time for this hatred to be put to rest? |
| 25556 I... I do not know. |
| 25557 Well, I do. Your sister's murder cannot go unavenged, Anomen. If the courts cannot deal with him, then you must. |
| 25558 This Saerk may be innocent, Anomen. You cannot take vengeance on one who might be innocent... you are a knight, after all, first and foremost. |
| 25559 Yes... yes! It is as you say, <CHARNAME>! Come... let us go to Saerk's demesne, and I shall find justice for my sister! |
| 25560 You don't still believe in all that, do you? |
| 25561 Lost one point of Wisdom |
| 25562 Good business to you. Is there aught that I can help you with? |
| 25563 Who are you? |
| 25564 What can you tell us about the murders in the Bridge District? |
| 25565 What can you tell us about the murders in the Bridge District? |
| 25566 No, nothing. I'll be on my way. |
| 25567 I am the Magistrate of Athkatla, Bylanna Ianulin. Why, is that of interest to you? |
| 25568 What can you tell me of the murders in the Bridge District? |
| 25569 What can you tell me of the murders in the Bridge District? |
| 25570 Not really. |
| 25571 There have been several strange slayings recently... the victims had their skin flayed from their bodies. Perhaps a creature of some kind is responsible... |
| 25572 But I warn you to stay off the streets at night in that district until this is solved. Now... if you will excuse me, I have other things to attend to. |
| 25573 We are still investigating the matter... there is nothing else I can say. Excuse me... I have other things I must attend to. |
| 25574 Please excuse me, then... I must attend to other matters. |
| 25575 Well now, I don't know why that inspector fellow keeps lookin' odd at me... I ain't done nothin'. At least, I ain't done nothin' with those murders, that is. |
| 25576 Aye now... we'll rest easy now that that business is all over with. |
| 25577 I'm just waitin' for someone to come by here... and I don't be thinkin' that's you, neither. |
| 25578 You're blockin' my view... why don't you go an' see the play downstairs? They're still doin' one, I think. |
| 25579 Look... I don't be wantin' to buy nothin', and I ain't sellin' nothing. Leave me be. |
| 25580 Aye now... ye're back, are ye? |
| 25581 Yes, well... I was rather tied up there for a while, my friend. |
| 25582 Wait, now... aren't ye the one I'm waitin' for, missy? |
| 25583 The name is Mazzy. And no, I truly doubt that I am here to meet common rubbage such as yourself. |
| 25584 Well, ye're a halfling... they all looks alikes t' me. |
| 25585 This is a delightful place to go, isn't it? I just adore a tavern with entertainment! |
| 25586 This district used to be quite safe and affluent. Things have just gone downhill, I suppose. |
| 25587 You won't tell my wife I'm here, will you? I truly doubt she would approve of this place. |
| 25588 Er... excuse me, sir... that painting on your head... are you one of the actors? |
| 25589 No. I do not act. I fight, and fight for real. |
| 25590 I cannot stand this! This flagon has a speck of dirt on it... how am I expected to drink this? |
| 25591 I'll tells ye how. *gulp gulp gulp* Ah! That be how! Tastes like ale, it does... did they charge ye extra for the speck? |
| 25592 Did ye hear? There was a man fell off the bridge last week. I says he bloody jumped. |
| 25593 Me husband spends half 'is time fishin' and the other half drinkin' like a fish, he does. |
| 25594 All day spent cookin' and cleanin'... I expect to come here t' relax, I does. |
| 25595 I be scared to go out into th' streets at night... me husband says there be ghouls on the loose to eat yer flesh. |
| 25596 Are ye the ones who solved that murder? Did he really have a knife big as yer arm? |
| 25597 Ach, I have ne'er seen a knight before. Ye keeps it bright and shiny, ye does. |
| 25598 I must always strive to look my best and represent the order, my lady. |
| 25599 A pox on me husband! I canno' believe he is not here! |
| 25600 You should be careful, woman... you might miss him more than you think should your wish come true. |
| 25601 Armor of Faith |
| 25602 Quallo |
| 25603 Armor of Faith (Abjuration) Level: 1 Sphere: Protection Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None The caster of the Armor of Faith receives significant protection against melee and magical attacks. This magical armor is a force of energy that absorbs a portion of the damage intended for the caster. At 1st level, the protection is 5%, and every 5 levels of the caster improves this by another 5%: For example, a 20th-level priest would have 25% of <PRO_HISHER> damage "absorbed" if protected by this spell. |
| 25604 Quallo |
| 25605 Circle of Protection |
| 25606 Circle of Protection (Abjuration) Level: 1 Sphere: Protection Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: ? Saving Throw: None |
| 25607 Ye should watch yerselves when ye're around the docks, mate. I hears that can be a rough area. |
| 25608 They don't have enough guards around this part o' the city. It just ain't safe. |
| 25609 What's with havin' a playhouse in here? I thought this were a tavern, aye? |
| 25610 I swears I'm going t' save up and try meself some of that elven brew me lads gab about. |
| 25611 Aye now, how's an evil thing like a dark elf come an' let to be walkin' around, much less in 'ere?! |
| 25612 I shall walk where I like, male. And watch your tone with me when you speak in my presence. |
| 25613 Call Woodland Beings |
| 25614 Heh. I suppose you flighty elven types are here t' look at the plays downstairs, aye? |
| 25615 Not all elves are "flighty"... in their many years, they learn all too well the responsibilities and pitfalls of this world. You would do well to remember that. |
| 25616 Call Woodland Beings (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 4 Sphere: Animal, Summoning Range: 25 ft. Duration: 3 turns Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell summons forth a nymph to assist the party. The nymph has several priest spells at her disposal and will use them in the best interests of the party (these include Mental Domination, Confusion, and Mass Cure). She will remain under the caster's control until slain or the spell's duration expires. |
| 25617 Hello, my good smilin' friends! Here at the Five Flagons, you'll find a cheery smile and every beverage in Faerûn available for your appreciation! |
| 25618 I'd like to see what you have available. |
| 25619 What do you know about the murders in this area? |
| 25620 You have every type of drink available? I hardly believe that. |
| 25621 I'll be on my way. |
| 25622 But of course! Take a look at the shelves... we have Tethyrian brandy, Sembian mead, Theskan dark ale... even a bit o' dwarven grog, if that tickles your fancy! |
| 25623 True Seeing (Divination) Level: 5 Sphere: Divination Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 70-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, an area roughly 70 ft. in radius around the caster will be affected. Instantly and once each round for 1 turn after this spell is cast, all hostile Illusion/Phantasm spells in the area of effect will be dispelled. The spells that are affected by this are Reflected Image, Invisibility, Mirror Image, Non-Detection, Improved Invisibility, Shadow Door, Mislead, Project Image, and Simulacrum. The area of effect is roughly a 70-ft. radius around the caster. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not come into effect with this spell. This spell only affects enemies; thus, it is unable to dispel the invisibility from a party member. |
| 25624 'Tis a terrible thing, and bad for business too, since no one can walk at night. Strike me, though, those poor innocents are more important than my little tavern. |
| 25625 Can I see what you have available, then? |
| 25626 You said something about having "all" types of drinks... that isn't true, is it? |
| 25627 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 25628 It's true as true, my friend! I may not keep it all on the shelfâ€â€not much call for Turmish beer, for instanceâ€â€but I bet the fur on my feet I have it in the cellar! |
| 25629 All right, you've piqued my interest. Let me look at what you have. |
| 25630 What do you know about the murders in the area? |
| 25631 I'll be going now. |
| 25632 Well, do come back sometime! Nothing like a good beverage, some entertainment, and quality halfling service to put a grin on your face! |
| 25633 True Sight |
| 25634 Why, welcome back, my good friends! It curls the hairs on my feet to see you once again! Never let it be said that Samuel Thunderburp forgets a good customer! |
| 25635 Can I see what you have in stock? |
| 25636 Do you know anything about the murders in the area? |
| 25637 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 25638 Surayah |
| 25639 Surayah |
| 25640 Don't you be listenin' to none o' Samuel's talk, now. We're out of almost everything. |
| 25641 Have a seat, if you wish... I've got three customers to serve before I can get to you. |
| 25642 Careful, big man! I am a halfling serving lass, not a footstool! |
| 25643 Get fresh with me, and Samuel will be kicking your hide. He was once a great adventurer, you know. |
| 25644 Mazzy! How is it going, my dear? I trust everything is well? |
| 25645 Well enough, thanks be to Arvoreen. I see you've retired from the Life, then? |
| 25646 Surely enough... although it was difficult to drag my Samuel away. Sorry, dear... one of the drunks is hollering. Take care! |
| 25647 Bylanna |
| 25648 Bylanna |
| 25649 I am sorry, little halfling. |
| 25650 I do so adore this tavern... it is the only place I have been able to locate a single glass of Damaran white! |
| 25651 This part of the city is so unsafe at night... it makes my flesh crawl to think of the murders here! |
| 25652 I hear the murders have been solved. It is such a wonderful relief to not have to spend so much coin on extra guards! |
| 25653 The halflings do tend to get a bit underfoot here, don't they? I actually tripped over that serving wench yesterday. |
| 25654 I understand the plays downstairs are quite terrible. |
| 25655 Oh... you... you are that Corthala man, are you not? The one with the... er... mansion down the way? |
| 25656 I understand your hesitation, my lady. I can assure you that my family will be gone shortly enough, and you can sleep restfully in your bed. |
| 25657 Janos |
| 25658 Ah, Anomen Delryn, is it not? I have not seen your father in ages! How fares Lord Cor, then? |
| 25659 Janos |
| 25660 Bitter and poor, my lady. And beyond that, a foul drunkard whose presence I can barely tolerate. Excuse me. |
| 25661 *sniff* If it weren't for the fine elven wines that that horridly cheerful little halfling sells, I wouldn't deign to come here at all. |
| 25662 *sniff* They really should do something about that murderer fellow in these parts... or at least force him not to flay his victims. How ghastly! |
| 25663 *sniff* I tried going to that theater they have in the cellar here, but it is so dusty and drab. That, and the plays are horribly melodramatic. |
| 25664 You haven't seen my signet ring, have you? It's a family heirloom... it must have fallen off my finger, I suppose... |
| 25665 Perhaps you should have been more careful about wearing such a thing to this part of the city. Have you tried retracing your steps? |
| 25666 Ah... Lord Keldorn. Good to see you. *sniff* I trust the Lady Maria is well? |
| 25667 My wife is... well enough, Lord Sterk. Good day. |
| 25668 Try anything with me, and you might live to regret it. |
| 25669 I have honed my battle skills aboard the ships that ply the Sword Coast... many a pirate has fallen before my blade. |
| 25670 I'm not interested in conversation... I am only here to wet my throat before I must go back to my ship. |
| 25671 You there... I've heard you can fight like a caged tiger. I tip my sword to you; you're a credit to women and to halflings both. |
| 25672 Thank you, I suppose. Although I would rather be known for my virtue and honor. |
| 25673 Hmph. For a drow to be walking about here, you've got no small amount of courage. My salutations to you. |
| 25674 Is... is this a compliment? It seems I can no longer tell among your kind. |
| 25675 Mmmm... grog... |
| 25676 Saerk Farrahd |
| 25677 Hey, now... ye weren't eyin' me grog, were you? You can't have it! It's MY grog! |
| 25678 Saerk Farrahd |
| 25679 Can't talk. *glug* Drinking. *glug glug* |
| 25680 Halflings sure are as annoying as a rough patch o' hair on yer rump, but a tavern they knows how to run, aye! |
| 25681 I know what you're thinking... halflings aren't anything but thieves, right? Well, bully on you! |
| 25682 Hey! I'm walking here! I'm walking here! Just 'cause I'm short doesn't mean you can push me around! |
| 25683 You think I can't fight monsters, do ya? Just 'cause I'm short? Well, I can run through an orc's legs better than anybody! |
| 25684 You stop your glaring! I saw you glare! I'll bite yer kneecaps off, I will! |
| 25685 You think you're so big an' tough, big bald man? I could take ya, I could! I could take ya! |
| 25686 Why does this impish halfling jump around me like that? Is he dancing? Boo likes it when halflings dance around! |
| 25687 You just watch who ye're looking at, human lady! I could poke yer belly faster than you could yell! |
| 25688 And I could shave your feet with my dagger faster than you could belch, little halfling. But I mean no harm... so relax. |
| 25689 Out! Out! Out of my kitchen! Is it not enough that Uda must protect food from little halfling fingers all day long?! |
| 25690 Uda work and slave all day long, but does Uda get break? Nooo, no. Uda says halfling is slave driver! Hmph! |
| 25691 "Uda, you is good cook!" "Uda, you is wonderful cook!" But all halfling talks about is all his drink, all his drink from all over... not Uda's food! Uda quit one day, then see what halfling does! |
| 25692 You get out of kitchen or Uda will pull you over knee and be spanking your bare buttocks! Out! |
| 25693 And if you haven't already, do take a look at the theater established downstairs! I'm told the plays are a marvel! Ooo, but I prattle... let me get you a menu... |
| 25694 Ah, this is my kind of town, it is! Fresh from the sea, ye comes to appreciate the finer things a city has to offer! |
| 25695 I been hearin' there's been some murderin' here in this part o' the city? Does ye know somethin' about that? |
| 25696 Yusef |
| 25697 This item cannot be removed. |
| 25698 Yusef |
| 25699 Helm take me, I think one o' the bloody seagulls just went and do'ed on me cap! |
| 25700 I'd jump ship, but me cap'n would whip me hide raw! |
| 25701 La, you wouldn't be lookin' to spend time with a sailor lad, would ye? |
| 25702 Go soak your head in the seawater a little longer, sailor boy. |
| 25703 Hey, mate! How about comin' for a night on th' town with the lads and me, aye? |
| 25704 A tempting offer, my friend... but currently I have other more pressing plans. |
| 25705 I am told that the use of magic is outlawed here in Athkatla... how very odd I find that. |
| 25706 I am almost tempted to seek out the fabled elven city of Suldanessellar... I'm told it is fair to the eye. But the sea calls, of course... |
| 25707 There must be a half-decent pub about here somewhere that a sailor could go to relax. Someplace with fine wine and plenty of lasses. |
| 25708 Valen |
| 25709 Valen |
| 25710 I wonder if there be a black market about. I truly need to get a few... things... for the next outing to Lantan. |
| 25711 You there, gnome! You gnomes sell things... might you have a selection of wares I could look at? |
| 25712 Hmmn. Ignoring the blatant stereotyping you apply to my poor people, sailor, suddenly I have a real itch to sell you a turnip or two. Sadly, ever since the bugbear incident, I haven't had a turnip to my name. |
| 25713 A... a drow elf? Here? Er... might you be... willing to, er... |
| 25714 You can close your jaw and quit your blushing, elf. As much as the forbidden might enflame your desire, I have no interest in those who smell of fish entrails. |
| 25715 I can't wait until my ship leaves this rotten port again. I'm told that slavers come here, of all things. |
| 25716 Have you heard that there is some murderer flaying the skin from his victims? Sounds like some ghoul or something equally disgusting is about. |
| 25717 The weather is so hot and humid here... 'tis the bane of sailing, I suppose, but all in all, I'd rather be back in Waterdeep. |
| 25718 You there... you seem like a rugged and handsome enough sort. This sailor gal needs a break... care to join me for an eve? |
| 25719 Er... certainly not. Somehow I think I'd rather pull a squid through my nostrils, thank you. |
| 25720 What's the matter, girlie? Never seen a woman as a sailor before? |
| 25721 No... that's not it. I was just wondering if you actually intended fish guts to be part of your outfit. |
| 25722 Ye should watch yer step, my friend. Here in the bridge, we have a monster that lurks the evenings, tearing the flesh from yer bones! |
| 25723 Ye can't find a proper apothecary around here nowhere. Me wife is cryin' fer somethin' to keep the baby shushed. |
| 25724 Have you seen the plays they have on at th' Five Flagons? 'Tis a right strange thing, I think. |
| 25725 Watch yer step there... ach, 'tis too late. Can't blame the horse neither, aye? He's long gone, surely. |
| 25726 A pretty lass like yerself should be wary in these parts... 'tis not safe for ones such as ye. |
| 25727 That's all right, sir. Whether you believe it or not, I am quite capable of taking care of myself. |
| 25728 Helm save me, but these hives burn something turrible! |
| 25729 It is a simple matter. With a short trip out of the city, you can gather Wila berries and some Burran tree salve. Mix them and you will be rid of your problem. |
| 25730 Ye haven't been down in the sewers, have ye? I swear the whole ancient lot is going to explode and flood Athkatla one day. |
| 25731 Me wife keeps naggin' me to go to the promenade and do some shoppin' for her. Ach, but 'tis such a far walk... maybe I'll go to the tavern and just say I was robbed, aye? |
| 25732 There's a murderer on the loose, there is... Ye're a stranger; mayhap it's you! |
| 25733 Did I hears right? Did you have somethin' to do with solvin' those murders? We be mighty grateful to ye. |
| 25734 *belch* Oh, do excuse me poor manners! |
| 25735 Aye now! Ain't ye Cor's son? I used to work for yer father, I did. |
| 25736 And he has ended your employment? I am sorry... there is nothing I can do to help you. |
| 25737 Ye should be careful, miss... I understand even elven lasses aren't safe at night here, with that murderer on th' loose, an' all. |

| 25740 Aerial Servant (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 6 Sphere: Summoning Range: 45 ft. Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell summons an Aerial Servant to do the caster's bidding for the duration of the spell. The servant will attack any enemies that the caster decides, staying until the duration of the spell expires or it is slain. |
| 25741 Have no fear for me, my friend. I am well capable of defending myself... and punishing those who commit such acts on others! |
| 25742 The council keeps raisin' the taxes on us poor folk, an' the district gets worse an' worse... it has t' stop, it does! |
| 25743 Blade Barrier (Evocation) Level: 6 Sphere: Guardian, Creation Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: Special The priest employs this spell to set up a wall of circling, razor-sharp blades. These whirl and flash around the caster, creating an impenetrable barrier. Any creature attempting to pass through the Blade Barrier suffers 8d8 points of damage. Creatures within the area of the barrier when it is invoked are entitled to a Saving Throw vs. Spell to negate the damage. The barrier remains for 1 turn. |
| 25744 Have ye been by the Five Flagons? 'Tis a grand place t' drink... and I hears that the playhouse in the basement is worth the price t' get in. |
| 25745 I used t' know one of the lasses who were murdered... an awful, awful tragedy, this is. Monsters ye almost can't blame, but what about monsters right amongst us? |
| 25746 Excuse me, but I have t' be going home now. Me wife is hollerin' by now, surely. |
| 25747 Aye now, don't ye own the Five Flagons? |
| 25748 No, I am not! And no, halflings do NOT all look alike! |
| 25749 Look, now! A murderer here in the district, and a dark elf walkin' about plain as day! |
| 25750 Creeping Doom |
| 25751 Creeping Doom (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Sphere: Animal, Summoning Range: 240 ft. Duration: 3 rounds Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: Special When the caster utters the spell Creeping Doom, <PRO_HESHE> calls forth a mass of venomous, biting and stinging arachnids, insects, and myriapods. This carpetlike mass swarms over a large area, spreading to all creatures within 30 ft. of the target. Those trapped by the insects suffer 2 points of damage each second and a spell failure rate of 100%. For each round the victim remains inside the cloud, <PRO_HESHE> must make a Save vs. Spell at -2 or run away in fear for one round. The advantage of Creeping Doom over its 5th-level counterpart Insect Plague is that it does twice as much damage in half the amount of time. |
| 25752 You humans are so quick to place blame, it makes me ill to my stomach. |
| 25753 I'm so nervous about this murderer on the loose here, my feet hairs are all but curled up and hiding! |
| 25754 I'm kinda in the mood for a sweet bun. Anyone else want a sweet bun? I'm kinda in the mood. |
| 25755 Fire Storm (Evocation) Level: 7 Sphere: Elemental (Fire) Range: 120 ft. Duration: 4 rounds Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When a Fire Storm spell is cast, the whole area is shot through with sheets of roaring flame and then pelted with fiery balls of lava. Creatures within the area of effect receive 2d8 points of damage plus 1 per level of the caster (i.e. 2d8 + 1/level). This assault will last for 4 rounds and will continue to do damage to the creature during that time unless <PRO_HESHE> moves out of the area of effect. There is no Saving Throw. |
| 25756 At least we can walk the streets here at night again. That way, I can satisfy my late-night sweet bun cravings! |
| 25757 Have ye been by the Five Flagons? 'Tis lovely service! Good food, too! |
| 25758 I'm hungry... |
| 25759 You're kinda big for a halfling, fuzzy. |
| 25760 I be not a halfling, ye bespawled prickmedainty! What are ye besides a foolsopher, blind too? The gods've cursed ye, imbecile. |
| 25761 What are you all done up in armor and stuff for, lil lass? |
| 25762 Holy Word |
| 25763 I am a faithful servant to Arvoreen and his most valiant warrior as well. We as a people should not limit our scope of vision, brother. |
| 25764 Holy Word (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Sphere: Combat Range: 0 Duration: Special Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None Uttering a Holy Word spell creates magic of tremendous power. The priest acts as a bridge between <PRO_HISHER> god and the Prime Material Plane, causing a small explosion centered on the priest and reaching up to a 30-ft. radius. It affects only evil creatures and undead of any alignment that are caught in the area of effect. The effects vary depending on the target's Hit Dice: Hit Dice / Levels  Effects of Holy Word Less than 4  Death 4 to 7  Stunned for 1 turn 8 to 11  Slowed for 1 turn with a 75% chance of spell failure 12 and up  Deafened for 1 turn with a 50% chance of spell failure There is no Saving Throw. The effects are instantaneous and last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. Note that this spell may not be cast by any priest of evil alignment. |
| 25765 Resurrection |
| 25766 Resurrection (Necromancy) Level: 7 Sphere: Necromantic Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Like the 5th-level spell Raise Dead, Resurrection will return a character back to life. However, Resurrection also heals the character so that they are ready for the adventuring life right away. |

| 25777 Have you seen the plays they've been putting on recently at the Five Flagons? Simply delightful, they are! |
| 25778 A woman just doesn't feel safe these days with all the murders in this area. Something should be done about it! |
| 25779 I'm so relieved that the murders are over with... Who would have thought that little tanner fellow would be responsible? He always seemed so friendly and quiet. |
| 25780 My children keep bothering me to go to the circus in the Waukeen's Promenade. I don't know... I've heard the most awful rumors. |
| 25781 Where did my husband go? He was just here a moment ago... |
| 25782 I don't know why they allow some people to practice magic and not others. All magic should just be banned forever! |
| 25783 It is not the magic that is evil, but the purpose behind it, and the purpose of many magic users is good... something I am sure even you have benefited from somehow. |
| 25784 I think it is such a shame that they just do not search all the houses and round up all the sorcerers and just... do away with them all! |
| 25785 And I think it is a shame that useless morons such as yourself, who forget that they should not speak, are not eradicated from the gene pool upon sight! |
| 25786 I hope me husband gets back soon from Trademeet... I hear that there's been trouble there as o' late. |
| 25787 Have ye ever traveled much out by the Umar Hills? Me husband says there be good minin' there... if they could ever makes it safe, that is. |
| 25788 I hope ye doesn't go out much to the Docks District... 'tis far worse than the bridge and ruled by thieves as well. Tsk. |
| 25789 The thieves in this city have been gettin' mighty bold if ye asks me. Step out in the night an' you're sure to be either robbed or murdered, aye? |
| 25790 I don't know why the guards don't take a harsher stance against th' thieves in this city... hang them all, I says. |
| 25791 While I agree with your sentiment, my lady, I truly doubt that it is ever so simple a matter as that. |
| 25792 They should round up all the thieves here... especially them Shadow Thieves... and just kick 'em out o' the city, I thinks! |
| 25793 Hah! There are many reasons that thieves have survived as long as they have... none of which I am sure you would even be slightly aware of, madame. |
| 25794 'Tis hard to feed a family o' wee folk in this city with all the robberies an' such... and me man cannot find work the law allows as well. |
| 25795 Get on, get on... don't bother a poor halfling woman who's runnin' the hair off her feet, almost. |
| 25796 I haven't got anything to say to ye... ye're as likely to rob me as skin me, methinks. |
| 25797 EEEEK! 'Tis a black elf! 'Tis the murderer come amongst us! |
| 25798 Calm yourself, little one, and restore your senses to some form of order. I am no murderer. A killer, perhaps, when I must... although I doubt you would detect the difference. |
| 25799 *shudder* You... you look like you could be a murderer to me! |
| 25800 Greetings, citizens. I trust you'll be keeping your weapons at your sides. I should hate to have to run you by the garrison if anything should happen. |
| 25801 Not bad intuition, halfling. Flawed and incorrect... but overall quite respectable. (The insult deserves a fireball, but it would only prove her right! Bah!) |
| 25802 Tttthhhpppppfffttt! |
| 25803 I got your nose! No, really, <SIRMAAM>... it's here, in this bag... |
| 25804 You're a killer. Me ma says so. I wanna grow up to be just like you. |
| 25805 Wanna play with me? |
| 25806 Gosh, you're so big an' tall... when I grow up, I want to be just like you! |
| 25807 I think this is good for you. Boo also is sending his congratulations. |
| 25808 Gee, mister... your robe is so colorful... can I be like you when I grow up? Pleeeeaaaasssse? |
| 25809 No need for that, sir. We're not here looking for trouble. |
| 25810 I'm sure there are more important things than me for you to worry about. |
| 25811 What are you implying? I don't take kindly to intimidation. |
| 25812 A commendable statement, child, but... no, no! Back, back! (Somebody get this... thing... off of me! It's... hugging... me...) |
| 25813 I am sure, but I extend the warning even so. It is not so much your conduct that I am worried about, but that with all your gear, you will look a rich target. |
| 25814 MY MOTHER SAYS THAT DOGS HAVE FLEAS AND SO DOES THE POOR PEOPLE! |
| 25815 No need, I'm not looking for a confrontation today. |
| 25816 I... *gasp* I shall get you for this! One day, I swear I shall! |
| 25817 MY MOTHER SAYS THAT ELVES SHOULD GO CLIMB A TREE SOMEWHERE! |
| 25818 MY MOTHER SAYS THAT I AM A PRINCESS! I AM! I AM! I AM! |
| 25819 MY MOTHER SAYS THAT I SHOULD GROW UP AND MARRY A RICH MAN FOR HER! |
| 25820 MY MOTHER SAYS THAT SORCERERS SHOULD BE CHOPPED UP INTO ITTY-BITTY PIECES AND FED TO THE DOGS! |
| 25821 Oh, do shut up, girl! (Miserable, pissant child!) |
| 25822 MY MOTHER SAYS THAT I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY TO GROW UP AND BECOME A SHADOW THIEF! |
| 25823 Er... I think someone needs to sit down and have a long talk with your mother... |
| 25824 Legs and handsâ€â€I have hands again! I am free of this horrible place! Thank you so much! I must... Giran! I hope my son hasn't gone far. Momma's on her way! |
| 25825 'Allo, darling. Is there something that ye cares t' sample... such as my affordable an' delightful little charms, mmm? |
| 25826 Are ye sure ye wouldn't like a... souvenir, me sweetie? |
| 25827 Don't mind me, honey... I be jus' mindin' me business and tryin' to keep me skin on me bones. If ye takes me meanin', that is. |
| 25828 If it's a bit of fun ye're lookin' for, honey, I'm sure that Bertrand will please ye sure enough... *giggle* |
| 25829 Hoy there, honey... ye're sweet enough; ye could makes quite a livin' on the streets. The men sure would take a shinin' to ye... |
| 25830 'Ey? *hic* Carish me home? |
| 25831 Um... no, thank you. Somehow I just don't think it's for me. |
| 25832 Hmmm... aren't you one of those actors from the Flagons? How about I give you my... special actor's discount? |
| 25833 We actors are always destitute enough to appreciate a good offer, my dear... but this one time I am afraid I shall have to pass, alas. |
| 25834 How am I supposed to stand around all day with the ships and the smell of fish everywhere? |
| 25835 This is almost worse than when I worked the docks... Here, 'tis nothing but poor sailors and poorer husbands. Bleh! |
| 25836 I had a child once... but I was forced t' give her up right after she was born. I think she's in an orphanage or the like now. |
| 25837 You have to be careful if ye're going t' work the streets, ye does. |
| 25838 How about it, old man? I'll curl yer white hair and makes ye feel young again... |
| 25839 Ha ha! I appreciate the nature of your offer, young lady, but it too late for me to feel young again! Off you go then, and may the gods watch over you. |
| 25840 Hmmm... ever think about joining the life, my dear? That dress looks simply stunning on ye... |
| 25841 Really? That is the nicest... Gah! Begone, wench! (Although I always did think this robe fit rather well...) |
| 25842 Ahhh... perhaps you might have an interest in perusing some stolen goods, hm? Perfectly good items... cheap prices... "win-win" situation? |
| 25843 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 25844 No, I'm not interested. |
| 25845 All right, then... let's just move a few steps here so we can't be easily overseen... |
| 25846 Your loss, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... If you decide to say anything about me, though, there will be trouble... |
| 25847 What do you know about the murders in this area? |
| 25848 Heh... more than I want to... but less than some. Apparently, the creature eats the skin from his victims and then leaves them for dead... but that's all I know. |
| 25849 Very well, then... Let me see your wares... |
| 25850 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 25851 Hallo to you, my <LADYLORD>. I have a small amount of goods that I sell out of my cart here... some of which you might be interested in. |
| 25852 It's not stolen merchandise, is it? |
| 25853 Sure... let me see what you have. |
| 25854 I'd like to know what you've heard about the murders in this area. |
| 25855 No, I'm not interested. |
| 25856 Not at all. I assure you that my goods are quite legitimate... unlike many other things in the area of the docks, more than likely. |
| 25857 All right, then... let me see what you have. |
| 25858 What do you know about the murders in this area? |
| 25859 I'll be on my way. |
| 25860 Not much, I'm afraid. It is a terrible thing, however, and it makes me frightened to even step out of doors at night. The guards have not been able to do much about it, it seems. |
| 25861 So... these items of yours... are they stolen? |
| 25862 Let me see what kind of stock you have, then. |
| 25863 I'll be on my way. |
| 25864 As you wish. |
| 25865 A farewell to you, then, my <LADYLORD>... perhaps another time. |
| 25866 Reflected Image |
| 25867 Reflected Image (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 1 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None Upon casting this spell, the wizard creates 1 image of <PRO_HIMHER>self that will travel alongside <PRO_HIMHER>. The image will perform all of the actions that the wizard does so that if any enemies are trying to attack the wizard, they will not know which one is real. There is a 50% chance that the attacker will attack the image and a 50% chance that he will attack the caster. The image will disappear with a successful Dispel Magic, when attacked, or when the spell's duration expires. |
| 25868 Circle of Protection (Abjuration) Level: 1 Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: ? Saving Throw: None |
| 25869 Reveal Magic |
| 25870 Reveal Magic (Divination) Level: 1 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: ? Saving Throw: None |
| 25871 Detect Illusion |
| 25872 Detect Illusion (Divination) Level: 3 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When cast at a point designated by the wizard, this spell will cancel all Illusion/Phantasm spells of 3rd level and lower in the area. Spells that are affected by this are Reflected Image, Invisibility, Mirror Image, and Non-Detection. It is important to note that the caster can control just who this spell affects. Therefore, it will affect only creatures that are not in the caster's party. The area of effect is roughly a 20-ft. radius around the target. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell. |
| 25873 Spell Thrust |
| 25874 Spell Thrust (Abjuration) Level: 3 Range: 25 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast at a target creature, it will dispel all of the spell protections of 5th level and lower affecting it. This includes the following spells: Minor Spell Deflection, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, and Minor Spell Turning. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell. |
| 25875 Stoneskin |
| 25876 Stoneskin (Alteration) Level: 4 Range: 0 Duration: 12 hours Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When a wizard casts this powerful spell upon <PRO_HIMHER>self, an outer skin of stone will move up from the ground, completely covering <PRO_HIMHER>. This skin is of course magical and will hinder the wizard in no way. The effect of this is to protect the wizard from physical attacks such as melee weapons and projectiles. For every 2 levels of the caster, an additional skin is gained upon casting. For example, a 10th-level wizard would receive 5 skins while a 20th-level wizard would receive 10. For each skin the wizard possesses, the spell will stop one attack, so a 10th-level wizard would be protected from the first 5 attacks made against <PRO_HIMHER>, but the 6th would affect <PRO_HIMHER> normally. The skins will remain on the wizard until <PRO_HESHE> is affected by a Dispel Magic, all of the skins are removed due to physical attacks, or the spell duration expires. It is important to note that this will not protect the wizard from any magical attacks, such as Fireball. |
| 25877 Reedle |
| 25878 Reedle |
| 25879 Fireshield (Blue) (Evocation) Level: 4 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None The blue fireshield protects the user from cold damage by surrounding the caster with a shield of ice flame. This shield not only grants the user 50% Cold Resistance, but also protects the caster from attacks made within a 5-ft. radius around the caster. An opponent that hits the caster with any weapons or spells within this radius suffers 1d8+2 cold damage. |
| 25880 Fire Shield (Red) |
| 25881 Fireshield (Red) (Evocation) Level: 4 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None The Red Fireshield protects the user from fire damage by surrounding the caster with a shield of flame. This shield does not only grant the user a 50% Fire Resistance, but also protects <PRO_HIMHER> from attacks made from within a 5-ft. radius around <PRO_HIMHER>. An opponent that hits the caster with any weapons or spells within this radius suffers 1d8+2 points of fire damage. |
| 25882 FISH! GET YER FRESH FISH! |
| 25883 You there! Desire you the freshest fish in all of Athkatla? I swear to you that there is less sewage in the water here than there is over in the docks. Fewer bodies too, 'til lately. |
| 25884 Secret Word |
| 25885 Secret Word (Abjuration) Level: 4 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast at a target creature, it will dispel one spell protection of 8th level or lower. Spells affected by this are Minor Spell Turning, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, Spell Deflection, Spell Turning, and Spell Shield. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell. |
| 25886 Sewage, eh? Is that bad for the fish? |
| 25887 Why have there been more bodies lately? |
| 25888 I've eaten fish just this morning, so thanks, but no thanks. |
| 25889 Minor Sequencer |
| 25890 Minor Sequencer (Invocation/Evocation) Level: 4 Range: 0 Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell allows a wizard to store two spells and activate them both at the same time from <PRO_HISHER> Special Ability button. Both spells must be of 2nd level or lower. To create a sequencer, a Mage must memorize not only Minor Sequencer but also the spells <PRO_HESHE> intends to store in it (a Sorcerer can store spells of any level for which <PRO_HESHE> still has spell slots). After casting Minor Sequencer, the player will be prompted to choose the sequenced spells from those <PRO_HESHE> has memorized. A sequencer lasts until activated and, once used, releases its spells immediately (no casting time). The Special Ability icon also disappears until the next time a sequencer is formed. A wizard can possess only one Minor Sequencer at a time, and it may not be given to other characters. |
| 25891 Nah! An' don't let any of yer book-learning crap tell you different. Some fish is supposed to have a brownish tinge. Part of the local charm. Not in the docks, of course, just here. |
| 25892 Teleport Field |
| 25893 Of course. What about the bodies in the water? |
| 25894 Teleport Field (Alteration) Level: 4 Range: 40 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None The wizard instigates a teleportation effect that randomly teleports all enemies in this area for the duration of the spell. Teleport Field is best used against multiple enemies, serving to confuse them and allowing the wizard to concentrate on activating <PRO_HISHER> defenses. |
| 25895 Well, that's fabulous. I must take my leave of you now. |
| 25896 We used to get only a few bodies a week in the water, but now, betwixt the thieves' war and this nasty skinning business, the numbers have increased. |
| 25897 "Skinning business"? |
| 25898 What thieves' war do you refer to? |
| 25899 Thanks for the information. I'll see you later. |
| 25900 Next time, buy some fish! |
| 25901 Truly 'tis yer loss. Se ya around. |
| 25902 That's what I said. Some fool biggie has been robbing folks of more than their lives. He's been swiping their skin as well. Go figure. |
| 25903 Do you have any idea why someone might want to do such a thing? |
| 25904 Enchanted Weapon |
| 25905 Enchanted Weapon (Enchantment/Charm) Level: 4 Range: 0 Duration: 5 rounds/level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast on a creature it enchants any weapons that it currently wields. For the duration of the spell, those weapons are treated as having a +3 enchantment for the purposes of determining what they can hit. |
| 25906 What about this thieves' war you spoke of? |
| 25907 Thanks for the information. Goodbye. |
| 25908 The Shadow Thieves had their paws in all parts of Amnian life for years. Now a rival guild has arisen, and they're battling it out in the streets. |
| 25909 You referred to a "skinning business"? |
| 25910 Thanks for the information. Goodbye. |
| 25911 Beats me. Check with that Aegisfield fellow. He's the army fool who's investigating the affair. Nice guy. Kind of stupid. (He hasn't solved it yet, you see.) |
| 25912 Spell Immunity |
| 25913 Spell Immunity (Abjuration) Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None Casting this spell grants the wizard protection from one spell school of <PRO_HISHER> choice. After the spell is cast, the wizard must choose the school <PRO_HESHE> wishes to be protected from. All spells of this school will not be able to harm or aid the caster for the duration of this spell. This includes all spells from this school, including any priest spells that might benefit the caster. |
| 25914 Breach |
| 25915 Breach (Abjuration) Level: 5 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast at a creature, it breaches and dispels all of the specific and combat protections on the target creature. Here is a complete list of all the specific protection spells that are dispelled by Breach: Shield, Protection Circle, Resist Fear, Protection From Fire/Cold, Fireshield, Protection From Acid, Protection From Electricity, Protection From Magic Energy, Protection From The Elements, and Protection From Energy. The combat protection spells dispelled by Breach are Protection From Normal Missiles, Protection From Normal Weapons, Protection From Magical Weapons, Stoneskin, Armor, Ghost Armor, Spirit Armor, Absolute Immunity, Mantle, and Improved Mantle. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell. |
| 25916 What about this thieves' war you spoke of? |
| 25917 Thanks for the information. Goodbye. |
| 25918 FISH! GET YER Hey! Take a hike! I've had enough of your non-fish-buying ways. A halfling has to earn a living. |
| 25919 I just wanted ask about your fish. Do you fish near here? |
| 25921 Fine. I'll leave you alone. |
| 25922 Oracle (Divination) Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 60-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When cast, this spell will cancel all Illusion/Phantasm spells of 5th level and lower within its area of effect. The spells affected are Reflected Image, Invisibility, Mirror Image, Non-Detection, Improved Invisibility, and Shadow Door. The caster can control just whom this spell affects. Therefore, it will affect only creatures that are not in the caster's party. The area of effect is roughly a 60-ft. radius around the caster. |
| 25923 I do. We have the finest fish in all of Athkatla here. I swear to you that there is less sewage in the water here than there is in the Docks District. Fewer bodies too, 'til lately. |
| 25924 Sewage, eh? Is that bad for the fish? |
| 25925 Thank you for your time. Goodbye. |
| 25926 Why are there more bodies now? |
| 25927 Oracle |
| 25928 Magic Tattoo |
| 25929 Magic Tattoo (Invocation/Evocation) Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: ? Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Don't know what this does yet. |
| 25930 Mislead |
| 25931 Mrs. Cragmoon |
| 25932 Mrs. Cragmoon |
| 25933 Mislead (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 6 Range: 0 Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, the wizard is affected by an Improved Invisibility spell and is teleported a few feet away from <PRO_HISHER> original position. Meanwhile, an exact image of the caster is created where <PRO_HESHE> used to be, with exactly the same Hit Points as the caster. The image cannot perform any actions at all, such as attacking or casting spells. It can, however, move around and act as a decoy for the invisible wizard. The image will remain under control of the caster until reduced to 0 Hit Points, or until affected by a Dispel Magic or a spell that reveals illusions, such as True Sight. |
| 25934 Pierce Magic |
| 25935 Pierce Magic (Abjuration) Level: 6 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast upon a target creature, there will be two major effects: First, the creature's Magic Resistance, if any, will be lowered by 1% per level of the caster; second, one spell protection of 8th level or lower affecting the creature, if any, will be canceled. For example, if this spell were cast by a 15th-level wizard, the target creature would lose 15% of its Magic Resistance from its current total (reducing it to 0 if less than that remains), and one 8th- or lower level spell protection affecting the creature would be dispelled. Spells affected by Pierce Magic are Minor Spell Deflection, Minor Spell Turning, Spell Deflection, Spell Turning, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, and Globe of Invulnerability. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell, nor do any of the spell protections. Magic Resistance remains lowered for 1 round per level of the caster. |
| 25936 True Sight (Divination) Level: 6 Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 70-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, an area roughly 70 ft. in radius around the caster will be affected. Instantly and once per round for 1 turn after this spell is cast, all hostile Illusion/Phantasm spells in the area of effect will be dispelled. The spells that are affected by this are Reflected Image, Invisibility, Mirror Image, Non-Detection, Improved Invisibility, Shadow Door, Mislead, Project Image, and Simulacrum. The area of effect is roughly a 70-ft. radius around the caster. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not come into effect with this spell. This spell only affects enemies, thus it is unable to dispel invisibility from a party member. |
| 25937 Improved Haste |
| 25938 Improved Haste (Alteration) Level: 6 Range: 40 ft. Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None The affected creature functions at double its normal movement and attack rates and receives a +2 bonus to its initiative. Thus, a creature moving at 6 and attacking once per round would move at 12 and attack twice per round. Spellcasting and spell effects are not sped up. There are three major differences between the 3rd-level wizard spell Haste and this spell: First, there is no period of fatigue following the expiration of the spell; second, this spell will only affect one creature; third, this spell actually doubles the number of attacks per round of the hasted creature. This spell also negates the effects of a Slow spell, but it is not cumulative with itself or with other similar magic. Its effects will last for the duration or until dispelled. |
| 25939 Chain Lightning |
| 25940 Chain Lightning (Invocation/Evocation) Level: 6 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: 1/2 When the wizard casts Chain Lightning, arcs of electrical energy burst from <PRO_HISHER> fingertips. These brilliant arcs of lightning leap at all enemies near the caster, burning them with electrical damage. The lightning causes 1d6 points of damage for every 2 levels of the caster. If the target of the lightning saves vs. Spell, only half damage is inflicted. Thus, a 12th-level wizard will cause 6d6 damage to a victim (3d6 if the victim makes <PRO_HISHER> Saving Throw vs. Spell). |
| 25941 Disintegrate (Alteration) Level: 6 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Instant Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. When this spell is cast at another creature, a thin green ray is shot out. Upon contact with the ray, the creature must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell or be transformed into dust. This transformation is instantaneous and irreversible. There is also a good chance that this will destroy some if not all of the items that the creature is carrying. |
| 25942 Contingency |
| 25943 Contingency (Evocation) Level: 6 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Permanent until triggered Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Upon casting this spell, the wizard is allowed to choose a spell out of <PRO_HISHER> repertoire of known spells. One spell level every 3 levels of the caster is allowedâ€â€up to 6th-level spells at 18th level. Once the spell is chosen, the caster may choose a condition of some kind from the list provided. The starting condition can be anything from reaching 10% of <PRO_HISHER> Hit Points to an enemy being sighted. Once this starting condition is satisfied, the spell that was chosen will be cast automatically. For example, a 12th-level wizard could place the spell Stoneskin in a contingency with the starting condition being "the wizard reaches 50% of <PRO_HISHER> Hit Points." Once the wizard is reduced to 50% of <PRO_HISHER> Hit Points or below, Stoneskin would be immediately cast upon <PRO_HIMHER>. This requires no action by the wizard, but happens automatically and instantaneously. A limitation of this spell is that the target of the spell placed in the contingency must be the caster: Therefore, it may not be an offensive spell, nor may it target any other party members. |
| 25944 Project Image |
| 25945 Project Image (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 7 Range: 0 Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, an illusionary copy of the caster steps out of <PRO_HISHER> body. This copy has the same Hit Points and can cast the same spells, as the original caster; however, it may not make any physical attacks. As long as the image is in existence, the original caster is rooted to the ground and only <PRO_HISHER> projected image may move around; if the image is destroyed, the spell ends and the original caster can move again. Also, if during this time the caster takes any damage, the image will disappear and the caster can move around again. Otherwise, the image will remain for the duration of the spell, or until affected by a Dispel Magic or anything that reveals illusions, such as True Sight. |
| 25946 Ruby Ray Of Reversal (Alteration) Level: 7 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, it dispels one spell protection of any level affecting the target creature. The spells affected by Ruby Ray Of Reversal are Minor Spell Turning, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, Globe Of Invulnerability, Minor Spell Deflection, Spell Turning, Spell Shield, Spell Deflection, and Spell Trap. This will always remove the highest-level spell protection affecting the target; if more than one same-level protection is active on the target simultaneously, one of them will be randomly chosen and dispelled. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell. |
| 25947 Khelben's Warding Whip |
| 25948 Khelben's Warding Whip (Abjuration) Level: 7 Range: 30 ft. Duration: 3 rounds Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, it dispels one spell protection of up to 8th level affecting the target creature. Every round thereafter till the duration of the spell expires, another spell protection will be removed from the target. The spells affected by Khelben's Warding Whip are Minor Spell Turning, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, Globe Of Invulnerability, Minor Spell Deflection, Spell Turning, Spell Deflection, and Spell Shield. This will always remove the highest-level spell protection affecting the target; if more than one same-level protection is active on the target simultaneously, one of them will be randomly chosen and dispelled. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell. |
| 25949 Tattoos of Power |
| 25950 Tattoos of Power (Alteration, Evocation) Level: 7 Range: 0 Duration: 1 day/level Casting Time: 1 turn Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None |
| 25951 Spell Sequencer |
| 25952 Spell Sequencer (Invocation/Evocation) Level: 7 Range: 0 Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell allows a wizard to store three spells and activate them all at the same time from <PRO_HISHER> Special Ability button. All spells must be of 4th level or lower. To create a sequencer, a Mage must memorize not only Spell Sequencer but also the spells <PRO_HESHE> intends to store in it (a Sorcerer can store spells of any level for which <PRO_HESHE> still has spell slots). After casting Spell Sequencer, the player will be prompted to choose the sequenced spells from those <PRO_HESHE> has memorized. A sequencer lasts until activated and, once used, releases its spells immediately (no casting time). The Special Ability icon also disappears until the next time a sequencer is formed. A wizard can possess only one Spell Sequencer at a time, and it may not be given to other characters. |
| 25953 Sphere of Chaos |
| 25954 Sphere of Chaos (Alteration) Level: 7 Range: 40 ft. Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special All enemies within the area of effect must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell every round that they remain in the sphere. If the Saving Throw is failed, one of the following random effects occurs: – target is polymorphed into a squirrel – target confused – target bursts into flames – target is paralyzed – target is disintegrated – target is healed 20 Hit Points – target is randomly teleported – target is rendered unconscious – target is hasted |
| 25955 Without question, but I'm making it my business to warn everybody on the street tonight. With all your gear, you might look a rich target to the wrong person. |
| 25956 Keep your temper or I'll run you in. I'm not taking any chances with anyone. There's been too much death around here as it is. |
| 25957 Make sure it stays that way. I recognize your face from somewhere, and I don't like it. There's been too much death already, and I'll not have you causing more. |
| 25958 Delayed Blast Fireball |
| 25959 Delayed Blast Fireball (Invocation/Evocation) Level: 7 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Special Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: 1/2 This spell creates a Fireball that hovers at a point determined by the caster. The Fireball will stay in position until someone walks too close to it; at that point, it will explode, dealing 15d6 points of damage. Victims are allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell for half damage. |
| 25960 Prismatic Spray |
| 25961 Prismatic Spray (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Range: 60 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 70-ft.-long cone Saving Throw: Special When casting this spell, the wizard causes seven shimmering multicolored rays of light to flash from <PRO_HISHER> hand, portraying all colors of the visible spectrum. Any creature with fewer than 8 Hit Dice struck by a ray is blinded for 5 rounds, regardless of any other effect. All creatures caught within the area of effect will be touched by 1 or 2 of the rays, each of which has a different power and purpose: Red  Inflicts 20 points of damage; Save vs. Spell for half. Orange  Inflicts 40 points of damage; Save vs. Spell for half. Yellow  Inflicts 80 points of damage; Save vs. Spell for half. Green  Save vs. Poison or die; survivors take 20 points of poison damage. Blue  Save vs. Petrification or be turned to stone. Indigo  Save vs. Wand or be feebleminded. Violet  Save vs. Spell or be disintegrated. |
| 25962 I'm warning everyone so as to get the word out that there are guards on the streets. We've had a... a string of killings, and I don't want any more happening. |
| 25963 What, a couple of fools die in a bar fight or something? |
| 25964 People die all the time. This is a dangerous age we live in. |
| 25965 Bandits or such, no doubt. I have had my fair share of attacks as well. |
| 25966 That is no less a crime than anywhere else, but no, the deaths are even more pointless than that. Murder, but not like any I've seen before. |
| 25967 Dangerous enough for people that look for trouble, but when innocents... This is different. Murder, unlike any I've seen in years. |
| 25968 Bandits I can understand; they are easy enough to figure out. What's happening here is... it's murder, but not like I've ever seen. |
| 25969 There's a disgustingly sick person out there, and I simply don't have the manpower to protect everyone. He's been killing paupers, sometimes in the alley where they sleep. |
| 25970 Sounds like a fine start on reclaiming the streets from the beggars. |
| 25971 Why would someone prey on the poor? What could they have to take? |
| 25972 I have nothing to worry about. I have nothing in common with such people. |
| 25973 Such a remark I would expect from the killer himself. No, I doubt even you would stoop to the crimes of this... this creature. |
| 25974 Nothing. They have nothing to take. He kills them and that is all. Not only is it pointless, but he does it in as painful a way as possible. It's... it's sick. |
| 25975 He kills when the opportunity comes up. Recent victims were poor, but one was middle-class. Do not dismiss this. You do not want to end up a victim. |
| 25976 He flays them... alive. There has been blood all over the area. Little Faraji, a local urchin, found the latest victim. I hate to think of a child seeing that. |
| 25977 Enough of this. I must go about my rounds. If you find any information about the murders, be sure to let me know. Don't go looking for trouble though. |
| 25978 Ah, it is you. I don't suppose you've heard anything about our killer? Not that I want you poking around, but you might have heard the odd thing. |
| 25979 Haven't heard a thing. Sorry to disappoint you. |
| 25980 I talked with a small boy that seemed to think a Missus Cragmoon did it. |
| 25981 A beggar found a piece of thick leather by one of the crime scenes. |
| 25982 I talked to a "professional" woman that smelled tannin on the murderer. |
| 25983 No disappointment from me. Been pretty quiet around here, which means he hasn't struck again. I ain't caught him, but at least no one has been hurt. |
| 25984 Oh, that's just children-talk. She's a bit older, a bit eccentric, so they say she's a witch. You know how kids are. Pay it no mind. |
| 25985 Whatever you say. Just thought I'd tell you what I know. |
| 25986 Ah, but I talked to her. Turns out she IS a witch like they say. She's a mage. |
| 25987 Old Missus Cragmoon? Hmm, she hides it well. All right, I guess I'll let the Cowled Wizards know just to be safe. They'll make sure she's on the up and up. |
| 25988 I hate dealing with those people, but if word got out I knew she was a spellcaster and didn't say, it would be my job. Thanks, I guess. They'll check it out. |
| 25989 She's harmless. Keep an ear out for anything else though. |
| 25990 There was tannin on the killer, and elephant hide was found near the scene. |
| 25991 Interesting, but not of much help. Lots of people carry or wear leather. |
| 25992 A merchant told me it was elephant hide. |
| 25993 Well, I tried. |
| 25994 Elephant hide, you say? Could be from the circus then. Their tamer might have had contact with elephants. I'll have him questioned at the garrison. |
| 25995 I agree. Won't be too good for the circus, but they've had none too few problems anyway. I'll have him checked out. Keep your ears perked for anything else. |
| 25996 So you think it was Rejiek the tanner? I know of no one else that would have such a substance. Still, it's not much to go on. Something else could smell like it. |
| 25997 I'll need more evidence if I'm to accuse an established businessman of a crime like this. Thanks, but keep looking if you can. Keep out of trouble though. |
| 25998 It might have belonged to a tanner. They would have exotic leathers. |
| 25999 Good. Better safe than sorry. |
| 26000 True, though I would be more suspicious of a transient like the circus tamer. I'd need more to go on if I was planning to accuse a permanent businessman. |
| 26001 Keep an ear open and let me know if you find anything useful. |
| 26002 I see. Likely only a tanner would have such things. The fluid is of little use to the average citizen, and I know of no one else that might have elephant hide. |
| 26003 I'll make a personal trip to the tanner's and check this out. Thank you again. Perhaps we can work together again sometime. |
| 26004 I see you are back. Have you heard anything that might help me in finding the crazy that has been killing people? |
| 26005 I did more than that. I have killed him! It was Rejiek Hidesman! |
| 26006 I have found out who it is! It was the tanner, Rejiek! |
| 26007 I have exposed the evil bastard! It was Rejiek Hidesman! |
| 26008 It was Rejiek? And you've killed him? I knew him as a quiet man; what evidence did you have of this? |
| 26009 A beggar found leather by one of the crime scenes! |
| 26010 A woman smelled tannin on the killer! |
| 26011 There was leather hide found, and tannin was smelled on the killer! |
| 26012 Gut feeling! I knew it was him! |
| 26013 Gut feeling?! This is not the frontier! You cannot lynch a man on a gut feeling! You are guilty of murder! |
| 26014 Relax. We found some of the missing skin in his home. He was guilty, all right! |
| 26015 I got the job done! Besides, we found some of the victims' skin in his home! |
| 26016 Well, I guess I owe you. The killings are over, so people will be happy, but don't expect a great increase in respect. Commoners are not fond of vigilante law. |
| 26017 You got lucky; if he had not been guilty, you would be in serious trouble. I'll reward and thank you, but you may not like being known as a brutal bounty hunter. |
| 26018 Who doesn't have leather? That's not enough! You are murderers! |
| 26019 It was rare leather! Besides, we saw the remains of his victims in his home! |
| 26020 We took care of business! His home was full of his victims! |
| 26021 Neither of which is conclusive evidence. Lots of people have leather, and a smell could be anything! You killed a man over this? |
| 26022 Lots of things could smell like that! You are a murderer! |
| 26023 There were remains in his home! We got the right man! |
| 26024 I am a hero! We killed a great evil! There were even victims in his home! |
| 26025 There were remains in his home. We got the right man. We were careful. |
| 26026 And he deserved it! There were remains in his home! |
| 26027 I see. Perhaps there was no other way then. It could have been disastrous, but you seem to have done a good job checking him out. |
| 26028 Here is a rewardâ€â€and the thanks of the guard. I'm sure the locals with think a bit higher of you after this as well. Take care. |
| 26029 It was the tanner? You've exposed him? What was your evidence of this? |
| 26030 Tannin and leather on the scene. His home held other victims too. |
| 26031 There was tannin smelled at the scene. His house held victims too. |
| 26032 There was elephant leather at the scene. His home also held victims. |
| 26033 I just knew it was him. Sure enough, there were victims in his home. |
| 26034 You just knew? Well, if you exposed him, I guess it turned out for the best. People may not think much of your methods, but you got the job done. |
| 26035 I take it that he is not dead? I'll have patrols try and find him, but be careful. No telling what he might try to do to you. Here is a reward. Thanks again. |
| 26036 Sounds like you did some excellent work. I am grateful; we're short on men to investigate crimes where the poor suffer. You will be well-liked around here. |
| 26037 Here is a reward for your trouble, though it's probably not over yet. I'll have the guard try and spot Rejiek, but who knows what he will do? I thank you again. |
| 26038 Well, that evidence alone would not have allowed me to act against a businessman, but it seems to have served you well. The locals will appreciate that they are safe. |
| 26039 You got coins? I could buy some foods. |
| 26040 Sure, have a couple of gold on me. |
| 26041 Hey, brat, I'll give you 10 gold if you answer a few questions. |
| 26042 I don't have anything for you, but maybe you can help me? |
| 26043 No, <SIRMAAM>, I don't have anything for you. |
| 26044 2 gold! You very nice! You need anything, you just ask Faraji! I help you! |
| 26045 I... I found the body of... of old Bilver. He never hurt no one! He was all bloody an... an... Maybe other beggars know more. All I did was see him. |
| 26046 Actually, maybe you could tell me about the crimes in this area. |
| 26047 How about you tell me about the body you found? The guard said you saw it. |
| 26048 10 gold? I dunno. Maybe you lying. You don't seem too nice. Okay, I talk to you. What do you want? |
| 26049 Tell me about the body you found. The guard I talked to said you saw it. |
| 26050 Maybe you could talk about the crimes in the area? |
| 26051 There's no crimes here, not a one. Some people take stuff, but that's different. Nobody fights much, 'cept... 'cept... |
| 26052 Who do you think would want to hurt old Bilver? |
| 26053 I knows who it was, I do! I'm sure! It's that witch! She's the mean ol' Missus Cragmoon. Mean evil witch! She smacks you for stealin' cookies; that's how I know she's mean! |
| 26054 Did he fight with anyone at all? Anyone hate him? |
| 26055 You won't tell her I told, will you? I... I don't wanna be incarc'rated, or whatever she gonna do! You go talk to her, I'm leavin'! |
| 26056 What can I get for you, deary? Something to ease your aches? A potion or two for the dangers of the road? |
| 26057 Suit yourself. I'll be here or there. |
| 26058 You have potions? I'll have a look. |
| 26059 Nothing for me, thanks. |
| 26060 Can I help you, deary? You look a little preoccupied, like you have a question or two. |
| 26061 I do. I am checking on the murders around here. I talked to Faraji. |
| 26062 I'll be blunt. There is talk that you are to blame for the killings here. |
| 26063 I am here to accuse you of the recent murders in the area! Faraji accuses you! |
| 26064 You did? Delightful boy. Light fingers though. Poor thing doesn't have parents to help him. I let him get away with stealing far more often than he thinks. |
| 26065 There is always talk of one sort or another. What is important are the facts behind the talk. That is what you are here to check, is it not? |
| 26066 Well, that was quite a mouthful. Faraji is a poor child, and a light-fingered one at that. I would take what he says with caution. He is not so wide-eyed as you think. |
| 26067 Perhaps if you told me exactly what he said, I might be able to better answer your questions? |
| 26068 He said you were an evil witch. |
| 26069 He called you a witch. What have you to say to that?! |
| 26070 I see. This child, that finds me old and a little off my noodle, has called me a witch, and you have taken that as basis for murder accusations? I think not. |
| 26071 If every old crone were a murderer because some child said they were evil, there would be a decided shortage of crones! A funny thought, yes? |
| 26072 No, you see no humor. Ah well, then I shall tell you why the child thinks I am a witch. I AM a witch, or a magic user at least. A crime in this city if they decide it is. |
| 26073 I see. Well, I've caused you enough trouble. I'll be going. |
| 26074 Why would you tell me this? I could turn you over to those wizard guards. |
| 26075 I still think you are the one that did these crimes. |
| 26076 Safe travels. Oh, and keep this between us, will you? You know what it is like to have something to hide. Yes, I think you do. |
| 26077 You could, but I think you understand how someone might keep something about themselves hidden. Yes, I think you do. Let this matter drop. I will speak no more of it. |
| 26078 You are mistaken, and I would suggest you drop the matter. Some people need secrets, and pursuing this would certainly expose some of mine. |
| 26079 You understand about someone needing to keep something about themselves secret, don't you? Yes, I think you do. Let the matter drop. I will speak no more of it. |
| 26080 Have you need of my wares? They are the finest in all of Athkatla. At least for the price. If you need something, I will find it. I know many businesses. |
| 26081 Thank you, I will take a look at what you have. |
| 26082 Not today, thank you. |
| 26083 As you wish. I will be here most days. |
| 26084 What can I do for you today? You seem a bit agitated. Anything you need? |
| 26085 No, thank you. |
| 26086 I wish to know if you can identify this piece of leather. It is a little odd. |
| 26087 What do you have that smells like guril berries? |
| 26088 Let me see. Hmm... looks quite thick indeed. Very rare, but I have seen it before. This is elephant hide. Good for strong armor, but I rarely see it. |
| 26089 Elephant hide? Where would someone get such leather? |
| 26090 Elephant? I've never even seen an elephant. Could you be mistaken? |
| 26091 The obvious answer would be "from an elephant." No, you are not in a joking mood, are you? Well, there are perhaps a few places one might get such hide. |
| 26092 A tanner might see such hide on occasion, though it would be rare. Might be difficult to work with as well. I do not hear about such things all that often. |
| 26093 There's also a circus in town. I don't know if they have elephants, but the animal tamer would have certainly seen some in the past. Do you need anything else? |
| 26094 No, that is all. Thank you. |
| 26095 I also wanted to ask if you knew what would smell like guril berries. |
| 26096 If you've never seen one, then how would you know? I may not see it often, but such hide is hard to mistake. But there are very few places to get such hide. |
| 26097 Locally? Well, let me think. I know of three things with that smell. Guril berries are one, and the bark of the oak is similar. And solik berries, too. |
| 26098 What would these things be used for locally? |
| 26099 Where would these be found? What good are they? |
| 26100 Well, I do a brisk business in guril berries. They are used in folk remedies, turned into topical salves for... *ahem*... intimate afflictions. |
| 26101 Oak bark is used to make tannin, I believe. Natural curative agent for working with skins. Been in use for centuries. |
| 26102 Solik berries are used in a local bakery for their signature mumbleberry pie. Very tasty, but they are closed now. It is the berry's off-season. |
| 26103 I have some of each if you wish. Free of charge because it's been a slow day. Was there anything else? |
| 26104 No, thank you. |
| 26105 I wanted to ask about this leather, and where it might have come from. |
| 26106 As you wish. I will be here if you wish to return. |
| 26107 No, thank you. |
| 26108 I wanted to ask about this leather and where it might have come from. |
| 26109 Who's dat? Who's pokin' old Rampah? What sa want? Get orf! Aegisfield send you? I ain't stole nothing. |
| 26110 I'm sorry, I am closed at the moment. Come back when I have replenished my stock. |
| 26111 Hello there, handsome. What is it that Rose can do for you? Need a little rest and relaxation from your travels? |
| 26112 Oh, honey, I'm not walking the right side of the street for what you want. I can point you in the right direction, though. What are you looking for? |
| 26113 I have enough problems with walkers and beggars. Old Rampah was damn near killed, and a street woman in the area, Rose, was plain lucky. Don't be like them. |
| 26114 Easy, old-timer, I just want to ask you something about the local murders. |
| 26115 Shut up and listen! I want to know what you know about the murders! |
| 26116 You need a few coins? Maybe I could bend your ear for a few gold? |
| 26117 I ain't done it! Wasn't me! I swears. You ain't takin' me in to no guardhouse! Walls are bad! |
| 26118 I'm not from the guards. I just want to ask you a few things. |
| 26119 I am no guard, but you'll still do what I say! Tell me what you know! |
| 26120 You wants to talk for golds? Then you go away? Okay, you speak and Rampah will listen, but don't you try no silly business! |
| 26121 Agreed. So, tell me what you know of the murders. |
| 26122 Don't backtalk to me. Just tell me what you know. |
| 26123 Nothin'. Not a thing. |
| 26124 Nothing? Not a thing? The guard thought you might. |
| 26125 Nothing? Don't play games with me! |
| 26126 Don't know nothing. Guards kept us away. They know all I know. That's it. |
| 26127 But... hehehh... but... |
| 26128 But I got something they don't. I got what they don't. They be blind, but I saw it, and now it's mine. |
| 26129 Not from the guards? Okay, then I talk to you. They treat me bad sometimes, but I just wants to sleep. What you want? |
| 26130 Tell me what you know of the murders here. |
| 26131 What did you get, Rampah? What did you find? |
| 26132 What is yours? I have no time for this! Tell me now! |
| 26133 Not telling. You want? You gotta buy. I found it, right near a body. It's mine, so you gotta pay. You pay... 100 gold. Yeah, 100. |
| 26134 All right, here is your 100. Now, what is it that you found? |
| 26135 I do not have that much gold. |
| 26136 No? No! Okay, then you pay half. Give me... 40 gold! |
| 26137 All right, here is your 40 gold. What is it you found? |
| 26138 I do not have that much. |
| 26139 Then you gives me... 5 gold. Yeah, now you gives me 5 gold. |
| 26140 All right, here is your 5 gold. What did you find? |
| 26141 I do not have that much. |
| 26142 What? Then you just takes it and sit down, because you poorer-er than me! You got food? Rampah give you rat on a stick if you need. |
| 26143 Thank you, no. What is this thing you found? |
| 26144 IT'S NOT HUMAN FLESH! Don't you think it is, because it's NOT! It's leather, but it's not human flesh, I tell you! Them bodies be flayed and have none, but this ain't theirs! |
| 26145 Thank you, Rampah. I'll be going now. |
| 26146 Yes, well, just you be thankful this is all I wanted. Get lost! |
| 26147 You good and go. Take that leather, because it's not human flesh! That is different! You go and dance now! Talk to the seller that buys! |
| 26148 You got what you want, so go! I don't need, because it's not human flesh! That is different! Go and dance where you will! Talk to seller of things! |
| 26149 Rampah dance! Dance, Rampah, dance! Dance in the flesh! Huuuuluckaluckakucka LAYYY! |
| 26150 Why, hello there, my sweet little dumpling. You may not know this, but the experience of gnomish pleasure is unequaled throughout Faerûn! |
| 26151 Come, my scrumptious little curried chicken... shall we be off to an evening of merriment, hm? |
| 26152 I'm sure you're wondering what the nose is all about. It's rather large... even for us gnomes, eh? |
| 26153 Go away... you're cramping my style. If the ladies see me with you, I'll never make a coin. |
| 26154 Well, if it isn't Jan Jansen. I see you're not selling turnips anymore. |
| 26155 *sniff* Selling turnips is a time-honored profession for my family. Far better than the shame you bring to us gnomes, Bertrand. |
| 26156 Hah! I can unequivocally say that I am the wealthiest and best-loved gnome in the entire city! |
| 26157 The lasses love you only for your nose, Bertrand. 'Tis a shame to the rest of us... oh, to be lumped in the same class as a gnomish gigolo! The indignity of it all! |
| 26158 How about it, my luscious little porkchop? You... me... together in an embrace that would shock your mother? |
| 26159 Porkchop, eh? Open your mouth again, foolish gnome, and you'll be spitting out enough teeth to shock MY mother. |
| 26160 Perhaps, though I am more interested in a little information right now. |
| 26161 With you? Not on your life. I just want some answers. |
| 26162 No, thank you. |
| 26163 Excuse me... might you have a coin to spare my poor venerable mother? She would ask for herself, but she lays in a cold, cold room nearly sick to her death, alas... |
| 26164 I'm just looking for some information. |
| 26165 Don't disgust me with innuendo. I just want you to answer some questions. |
| 26166 Nothing, thank you. |
| 26167 Whatever you want. I'll be here. |
| 26168 Yes, certainly... here is a gold piece for her. |
| 26169 Information costs just like anything else. If you've got the coin, I'll chitchat as long as you like. 20 gold to your tastes? We'll have a nice long talk. |
| 26170 She's sick, is she? Perhaps you could bring me to her... I might be able to offer her some help. |
| 26171 I'm sorry... I can afford to give you nothing. |
| 26172 I see. You keep talking like that, and you'll get some answers you didn't ask for. Understand? I'll talk for you, but it costs, just like anything else. |
| 26173 Move on! I am sick of you beggars gathering about me like fleas! |
| 26174 Bless you, my <LADYLORD>! You are a sweet and generous soul... my mother will be indebted to you forever! |
| 26175 Hmph. You could just say "no," you know... (Always has to be me that runs into them good Samaritan types...) |
| 26176 Hmph. Liar. Tight-pursed kobold. Talos have you, I think. *grumble grumble* |
| 26177 I'll pay your little fee. |
| 26178 Too high for me. |
| 26179 I'll talk for you, but my price is 40 gold. Take it or come back when you've got some manners. |
| 26180 I'll pay your gold. |
| 26181 Fleas? FLEAS?! Get yer behind outta the bridge soon, or ye'll suffer for that there kind of comment! Hmph! |
| 26182 Too high for me. |
| 26183 That's unfortunate. Come back when you are a little more provided for. |
| 26184 Didn't you just ask me for money for her? |
| 26185 Well, she's still bloody sick, isn't she? What, you think that us poor people can affords to get the priests to cast "cure disease" on a bloody whim? Bah! |
| 26186 Good. Talk all you want then. I'll be your sympathetic ear. What's on baby's mind? |
| 26187 The guard seemed to think you saw something at a recent murder. |
| 26188 I want to know what you saw when the last person was murdered. Tell me. |
| 26189 Do you know who the murderer is? Don't lie to me if you do. |
| 26190 Could you spare a coin for a poor little halfling? I'd like to buy a loaf of bread to feed me starving family. We're ever so hungry... |
| 26191 Certainly, here's a gold piece for you. |
| 26192 Sorry, I can afford nothing. |
| 26193 Off with you, beggar! Begone! |
| 26194 That Aegisfield talks too much. I told him what I saw, which was nothing. A man in a hood... that's all I saw. Didn't know the poor sod that died. |
| 26195 Off with you, beggar! Begone! |
| 26196 Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! I can taste that loaf now... mmmMMMmmm... |
| 26197 Oh. That's sad. You sure looked like you could afford at least a little. Oh, well... |
| 26198 Don't get excited, it's not worth your effort. I saw so much of nothing. A man in a hood ran by me. Didn't know him or the poor sod that died. |
| 26199 You're mean! You're nothing but a big meanie! |
| 26200 What's it to you? You're no guard, and you don't sound like no concerned citizen. Anyway, I saw nothing. A man in a hood. I didn't even know the victim. |
| 26201 Fine. Be that way, ya big meanie! |
| 26202 Wait. There was something. A smell... besides the blood, I mean. I think I smelled... guril berries. Yes, that's it. Guril berries, or something like it. |
| 26203 Hey... you! Give me your money NOW, or you're going to regret it... comprehend, yes? |
| 26204 All right, all right... here you go... |
| 26205 But I have no money to give to you. |
| 26206 Guril berries? What are they used for? |
| 26207 Doesn't sound very important to me. |
| 26208 Would you recognize this smell if you smelled it again? |
| 26209 I comprehend that you're trying to ply your trade on the wrong person... and you're about to be the one regretting it. |
| 26210 Smart move. Now... in case the subject comes up... ya never seen me... |
| 26211 I can't recall. The guards didn't seem to think the information was important. They just laughed. I would probably recognize it if I smelled it again. |
| 26212 Yeah? Well... we'll just see about that, won't we...? |
| 26213 That's why I forgot it. The guards didn't think so either. They just laughed. I might recognize it if I smelled it again though. |
| 26214 I might. I didn't think it was important though, and neither did the guards. They just laughed. |
| 26215 *grunt* Uh! You! You give me money... ALL money... NOW! |
| 26216 Talk to that merchant, Bel. He might know what smells like that. I'll see if I can choose between whatever he suggests. That'll help you, sweetie. |
| 26217 All right, here you go...! |
| 26218 But I have nothing to give you! |
| 26219 You'll have to take it from my dead body, ogre... and that's not likely! |
| 26220 Uh! *grunt* Good! Good! |
| 26221 Then I SMASH YOU! |
| 26222 Thank you. I'll be back as soon as I can. |
| 26223 Don't go running off on me. I'll be back, and you'd better be here. |
| 26224 Oh? Then I SMASH YOU! I SMASH YOU GOOD! |
| 26225 I'll be waiting. You bought your time. |
| 26226 Oooh, you sure know how to sweet-talk the ladies. I'll be here; you paid for your time. |
| 26227 Back again? This has to be the weirdest question I've ever asked a customer, but do you have what you wanted me to smell? |
| 26228 Spell Shield |
| 26229 Spell Shield (Abjuration) Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, the wizard is protected from the next magical attack against <PRO_HIMHER>. The spells from which the wizard is protected are Spell Thrust, Secret Word, Breach, Lower Resistance, Pierce Magic, Ruby Ray, Khelben's Warding Whip, Pierce Shield, and Spellstrike. If one of these spells is cast at the wizard, this spell activates and absorbs the attack. However, this only works once and this spell is consumed in the process. Otherwise, it will last for its duration. |
| 26230 Protected by Spell Shield |
| 26231 Yes, I do. He gave me three things for you to sample. |
| 26232 Yes, now get to work. Which of these three was it? |
| 26233 No, thanks. I'll be back. |
| 26234 Simulacrum |
| 26235 Simulacrum (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 8 Range: 0 Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None A duplicate of the caster is created with this spell. The duplicate is almost identical to the caster, making it a very powerful ally. It is created at 60% of the caster's level and has all the spells and abilities that the caster would have at that level. It also has 60% of the caster's Hit Points and is fully under <PRO_HISHER> control. |
| 26236 And I'll be waiting. Don't be too long. |
| 26237 All right then, I'll have a look. Let me have those. |
| 26238 Hmm, oh. Um, I've just remembered why I knew it smelled like guril berries. Ehh, that was not what the man smelled like. Aw, no wonder the guards were laughing. Never mind. Next. |
| 26239 Mmm, solik berries. Mumbleberry pie, right? That's not the smell though. Good thing too. I'd hate to think of the murders every time I smelled a pie. Next. |
| 26240 Pierce Shield |
| 26241 Hmm, that's the one. This... tree bark... stuff? It was stronger smelling on him though. This is the same, but it's faint. What would make him smell like this? |
| 26242 Pierce Shield (Abjuration) Level: 8 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, it launches a massive attack on an enemy wizard's spell defenses. The target's Magic Resistance will be lowered by 10% + 1% per level of the caster. Next, Pierce Shield will cancel one spell protection of any level. For example, if this spell was cast by a 15th-level wizard, the target creature would lose 25% Magic Resistance from its current total, reducing it to 0 if less than that remains, as well as canceling one spell protection if the Mage currently has one. The list of spells that this includes: Minor Spell Deflection, Minor Spell Turning, Spell Deflection, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, Globe Of Invulnerability, Spell Turning, Spell Shield, and Spell Trap. Magic Resistance does not affect this spell, nor do any of the spell protections. The resistance remains lowered for 1 round per level of the caster. It cannot be dispelled. |
| 26243 Spell Trigger |
| 26244 Spell Trigger (Invocation/Evocation) Level: 8 Range: 0 Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This spell allows a wizard to store spells in a magical ability (accessed via the Special Ability button) that is created by the spell. This item, the trigger, can store three spells to be released simultaneously, all of which must be of 6th level or lower. A wizard can only possess one spell trigger at a time, and the trigger may not be given to other characters. Once the spell trigger is used, the icon will disappear from the Special Ability button. |
| 26245 The catch has been mighty poor around here o' late. Makes it hard for a poor fisherman to earn a living, it does. |
| 26246 Don't mind the smell... it's just a bit o' the last catch rubbed off on me. |
| 26247 Out on the boats all day... I think I'll be headin' down to the Five Flagons for a pint or two, aye? |
| 26248 Does ye know we encountered a huge beastie on me fishing boat last week? Survived it, we did. Helm must be watchin' over us. |
| 26249 It's oak bark. It's used to make tannin, for making leather. |
| 26250 None of your business. Thank you for your time. Goodbye. |
| 26251 Aye now... why are ye looking so crossed-eye at me, hm? |
| 26252 So he might have worked with leather? Odd. Well, I hope that helped. You've got what you wanted. Off with you now. Perhaps... no. Goodbye. |
| 26253 I... I'm sorry... *cough* It's just that... I hate the smell of fish... |
| 26254 I don't know where all the bloody fish have gone. Nets have been empty o' late. |
| 26255 You must give the seas a chance to rejuvenate. Nature is a cycle... the sooner you understand and allow her to replenish, the better off you shall all be. |
| 26256 All right then, you've gotten what you came for. Now beat it. |
| 26257 I be tellin' ye... I knows me husband says he be fishin' all day... but I think for certain he's at the Five Flagons! |
| 26258 I can clean and gut a fish faster than ye can blink... Ye can find our goods down at th' market every day, you can. |
| 26259 Helm watch over us! I was just hangin' the bloody laundry, and where does ye think me kids have gone? Vanished! When I get ahold of 'em... |
| 26260 You be careful in these parts, I be warning ye! There be a murderer on the loose! |
| 26261 So... you be the one that solved the murders, aye? What... you be lookin' fer applause? I be too busy. |
| 26262 What are ye looking at?! Keep yer eyeballs in yer head or ye'll feel my rolling pin, sure enough! |
| 26263 I... I was not looking at anything, good fishwife. I, um, oh never mind. |
| 26264 There be a seagull about... an' I've gots meself a sling bullet with 'is name on it! |
| 26265 Yes, I hunt seagulls. They be the vermin of the seas, they are, and I have entered courageous battle with hundreds. Hundreds, I tells ye! |
| 26266 Have ye ever looked a seagull in the eye, eh? There be evil there... pure evil. An' I means to hunt them all... all of 'em! |
| 26267 'Tis the gods that have blighted us with these infernal seagulls! YOU HEAR ME, GODS?! I SPIT UPON YOU FOR YOUR CURSED SEAGULLS! PTEWWW! |
| 26268 Ye haven't seen a seagull about, have ye? I be Stivan the Seagull Hunter, mighty and famous. Er... care to buys a feather? I haves plenty, I does. |
| 26269 Seagulls be the most vicious and demonic of the birds, they are! Stivan shall kill them all one day and saves us all! |
| 26270 Bubbles |
| 26271 You would hurt those poor birds? They are scavengers only... and I'm sure they have done nothing to you! |
| 26272 Bubbles |
| 26273 Wrong! The demons have carried off three of my brothers, they have... They are a plague upon us sent by the gods! AND I SPIT UPON YOU, GODS! PTEWW! AND AGAIN! PTEWW! |
| 26274 Otto's Irresistible Dance |
| 26275 You there! Come and join Stivan in his holy crusade against the evil seagulls! We must DESTROY THEM ALL! Bwahahahah! |
| 26277 I might join your hunt another time, but seabirds make Boo uncomfortable. It is best I spare them his wrath. Yes, best for all! But I must go now, little one. |
| 26278 Hunter |
| 26279 Hunter |
| 26280 Oh, look, my dear... it is a commoner, trying to speak to us. |
| 26281 My dear Lord Feveron... if you insist on demeaning the peasants as they approach us, you will upset them all. I have no wish to start another riot. |
| 26282 Dancing Uncontrollably |
| 26283 Fisherman |
| 26284 Fisherman |
| 26285 But... but darling, it is so fun to make light of the peasantry. |
| 26286 No, my lord. I am afraid I must insist. We have business here, remember? I am afraid you simply must apologize. |
| 26287 *sigh* Very well. My... apologies... commoner. Your smell offends me almost as much as your demeanor, but as a noble, I must learn to tolerate both. Now go away. |
| 26288 There, now, was that so hard? |
| 26289 Bertrand the "Companion" |
| 26290 Bertrand the "Companion" |
| 26291 Hmmm. What do you think, my Lord Feveron? Is this the one we were supposed to come here and see? |
| 26292 How should I know, my dear Lady Diana? *sniff* These commoners all look alike to me. |
| 26293 Yes, that is true. Dusty and sweaty, each and every one of them. It does upset my delicate nature to be so near to them sometimes. |
| 26294 Spell Invulnerability |
| 26295 You are a brave, brave soul, my sweet. |
| 26296 Spell Invulnerability (Abjuration) Level: 9 Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn + 1 round/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None |
| 26297 Oh, thank you, darling... it is so kind of you to say such. |
| 26298 Not at all, not at all. Now do send the smelly peasant away, yes? |
| 26299 Oh, yes, I had almost forgotten. Thank you, Lord Feveron. Mmm... go away, peasant. Shoo! Shoo! |
| 26300 I... I'm sorry. Are you addressing us again? Do go away. |
| 26301 Protected by Spell Invulnerability |
| 26302 Eek! The commoner is speaking to me again! What should I do? Shoo... shoo, shoo! |
| 26303 I am an escort to the Lord Feveron and the Lady Diana... you will maintain your manners with them or suffer the consequences. Now off with you, citizen, before you make trouble. |
| 26304 Spell Trap |
| 26305 Spell Trap (Abjuration) Level: 9 Range: 0 Duration: 18 rounds Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This powerful spell creates a barrier of magical protection around the spellcaster. Every spell that hits the barrier is absorbed by the power of the spell trapâ€â€making the caster recall a previously cast spell. For example, if a wizard shields <PRO_HIMHER>self with Spell Trap and is then hit by a Flame Arrow (3rd-level spell), <PRO_HESHE> gets three spell levels backâ€â€<PRO_HESHE> will regain one spell up to 3rd level in power. The spell trap provides 30 levels of protection (i.e., ten Flame Arrows or five Fingers of Death). The spell trap can absorb any level of spell, from one to nine. |
| 26306 Protected by Spell Trap |
| 26307 Sorry for bothering you. |
| 26308 Can I ask you a few questions about the local murders? |
| 26309 I'm looking into the local murders, and I wanted to see if you knew anything. |
| 26310 No trouble. Goodbye. |
| 26311 Why are you closed? Hiding something, are you? |
| 26312 Oh, you can drop the act. I told the guard about you! He'll be coming by! |
| 26313 Work faster, you useless dogs! Faster, I say! We shall never have the ships loaded on time if you continue to be so lazy! |
| 26314 Spellstrike |
| 26315 Spellstrike (Abjuration) Level: 9 Range: 80 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast at a target creature, it will dispel all of the magical protections that surround that creature. This includes Minor Spell Turning, Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, Globe Of Invulnerability, Minor Spell Deflection, Spell Turning, Spell Shield, Spell Deflection, and Spell Trap. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell. |
| 26316 Gurgh be sick! Sick! He must slow, master! |
| 26317 Never! I'll not lose a commission because of you damnable ogres! WORK FASTER, I SAY! |
| 26318 I'm sorry, I am closed at the moment. Come back when I've replenished my stock. |
| 26319 You no nice! We ogres no work! |
| 26320 Yes, we no work for you if you so mean! |
| 26321 Don't force me to get the whip out, you moronic twits! Keep loading, I say! KEEP LOADING! |
| 26322 Sandform |
| 26323 No! We no work! |
| 26324 Sandform (Necromancy) Level: 9 Range: 0 Duration: 1 hour/level Casting Time: 1 turn Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None |
| 26325 We stop you! RRRAAARRRGGH! |
| 26326 Why... thank you, citizens, for saving me from those mongrels. To think I actually thought it was a good idea to keep them as strong deckhands. Ah well... a reward for your trouble. |
| 26327 Where were you when the last murder victim was found? |
| 26328 Chain Contingency |
| 26329 The guards have already canvassed the neighborhood, so if you want anything, go talk to them. I don't know who or what you are, so I'm not talking to you. |
| 26330 Chain Contingency (Evocation) Level: 9 Range: 0 Duration: Permanent until triggered Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None Chain Contingency channels some of the magical energy of the wizard and releases it only under certain circumstances. The wizard chooses three spells that will be released under certain conditions, such as being hit by an enemy. When this condition occurs, all three spells are cast immediately. Spells of 8th level or lower may be used in the contingency. |
| 26331 You shall never have her, you ridiculous fool! |
| 26332 Time Stop |
| 26333 No... it is YOU that shall never have her! She loves me! |
| 26334 Time Stop (Alteration) Level: 9 Range: 0 Duration: Special Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Upon casting a Time Stop spell, the wizard causes the flow of time to stop for 1 round in the area of effect. Inside the sphere, the caster is free to act for 3 rounds of apparent time. The wizard can move and act freely within the area where time is stopped, but all other creatures are frozen in their actions, for they are literally between ticks of the clock. The spell's duration is subjective to the caster. Nothing can enter the area of effect without being stopped in time also. When the spell's duration ceases, the wizard is again operating in normal time. Note that all spells cast during the Time Stop will take effect immediately after time returns to normal. |
| 26335 I don't know what you are getting at. |
| 26336 No! She loves ME. ME! |
| 26337 Your class cannot use a second weapon. |
| 26338 Boys, boys! *sigh* Don't fight over me, please! |
| 26339 I wanted to ask you about the murders that have happened recently. |
| 26340 Where were you when the last murder was committed? |
| 26341 I think you do. I told the guard about you. He'll be coming to have a chat. |
| 26342 You cannot place a two-handed weapon in your off hand. |
| 26343 Fight over her? What an excellent idea! Yes, we shall fight over our beloved Bubbles! |
| 26344 Yes, that sounds most wonderful. Shall we start now? |
| 26345 Meteor Swarm |
| 26346 Certainly, if you wish to. |
| 26347 Meteor Swarm (Evocation) Level: 9 Range: 270 ft. Duration: 4 rounds Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None When the caster utters the words to this powerful spell, <PRO_HESHE> calls upon powerful forces indeed. These forces pull down meteors from above, hurling them randomly at anyone in the area of effect. Anyone caught in the destructive path of the meteorsâ€â€whether friend or foeâ€â€will suffer 4d10 points of damage with no Saving Throw. The caster is well advised to be careful in <PRO_HISHER> use of this spell. |
| 26348 Certainly! |
| 26349 *sigh* Well, fine. Go ahead, then. If that's what you boys have to do. |
| 26350 The guard? Ahh, you mean Lieutenant Aegisfield? Good man. We had a chat, and he's sure I had nothing to do with any of the recent crimes. Now, if you will excuse me? |
| 26351 I doubt he would have left you free after a simple chat. I know the evidence. |
| 26352 I will not. I know what links you to the crimes. I will not be quiet about it. |
| 26353 Well, if he let you go after what I told him, I guess you're all right. |
| 26354 Most excellent! I have defeated the loathsome Carbos! Come, my beloved Bubbles... let us go! |
| 26355 You splattered blood on my dress, you ignorant dolt! I'm not going anywhere with you! |
| 26356 Shapechange |
| 26357 Energy Drain (Necromancy) Level: 9 Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None The casting of this spell opens a channel between the caster's plane and the Negative Energy Plane. The caster of the spell acts as a conduit between the two planes, sucking life from a victim and transferring it to the Negative Energy Plane, draining <PRO_HIMHER> of 2 levels of experience. The target of this spell loses levels, Hit Dice, Hit Points, and abilities permanently. These levels can only be restored by a priest's Restoration spell. |
| 26358 Bubbles! But... but Bubbles! But I love you, my chicken pot pie! Come back! |
| 26359 Aha! That moron, Shank, is now dead! I am victorious! Come, my Bubbles... let us go and celebrate this blessed event! |
| 26360 Whatever. I'm out of here. |
| 26361 Bubbles? But... but Bubbles?! Honey melon, where are you going? |
| 26362 Shapechange (Alteration) Level: 9 Range: 0 Duration: 1 hour Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None With this spell, a wizard is able to assume the form of a powerful creature (mind flayer, iron golem, greater wolfwere, earth elemental, fire elemental, or giant troll). The spellcaster becomes the creature <PRO_HESHE> wishes and has almost all of its abilities. Thus, <PRO_HESHE> can change into a mind flayer to stun <PRO_HISHER> opponents and then become an earth elemental to crush <PRO_HISHER> foes. These creatures have whatever Hit Points the wizard had at the time of the shapechange. Each alteration in form requires only a second, and no system shock is incurred. |
| 26363 So, you were the one who has been speaking ill of me? You gathered this... evidence? So there's others that will know too? Then it will not stop here. |
| 26364 It's funny, isn't it? A simple piece of leather and a whiff of tannin. If my leather had not been torn, I would not have worn the new armor. No tear would have meant no smell. |
| 26365 I knew it! It all led to you! You'll be coming to the garrison with me! |
| 26366 So... you are admitting to being the killer? Why did you do this? |
| 26367 Evil bastard! You'll be swinging from the gallows if I don't kill you first! |
| 26368 But I know what you are, and I told the guard about it too. |
| 26369 I think you should. There was tannin smelled on the murderer. |
| 26370 I think you should. There was elephant hide found at the scene of a killing. |
| 26371 I think you should. I found leather at the scene of one of the murders. |
| 26372 You had better. Elephant hide and tannin were found where people died. |
| 26373 Sorry to bother you then. |
| 26374 I see. You have gathered this, uh, evidence? I suppose others will know of this as well then? Then it will not stop with your leaving. |
| 26375 Not to disappoint you, but there are many, many people that own leather, you among them, I am sure. I make my living selling it, so I know how common it is. |
| 26376 No, if that is the extent of your evidence, then you have nothing more to say. I am a respected businessman, and if common sense will not keep you away, then I will have the guards force you. Leave. |
| 26377 I will be back. This is not over. |
| 26378 Sorry for bothering you. I will not disturb you again. |
| 26379 Perhaps I should kill you, just to be sure! |
| 26380 Then I will have armed guards waiting. Go. |
| 26381 See that you don't. Goodbye. |
| 26382 Then you will be hunted by the guards for not following due process. Vigilantes are not welcome in the city limits. Decide well your next move. Now, get out. |
| 26383 You had better. Tannin was smelled at one scene and a piece of leather found! |
| 26384 Qadeel |
| 26385 Qadeel |
| 26386 What is your point? It is a common smell, especially on new armor. Many sets are sold each day. I am not responsible for how they are used, any more than a blacksmith would be. |
| 26387 Elephant hide? Your point being? I have several clients that like such exotics. It makes fine armor, even if it is expensive and rare. |
| 26388 Stivan the Hunter |
| 26389 Stivan the Hunter |
| 26390 Well, that is certainly damning evidence. I mean, who would have new-smelling leather armor? Perhaps only half of all the people in Athkatla. |
| 26391 Leather is as common as the dirt, and the smell of tannin is hardly unique. This would not hold up in any court. |
| 26392 You should have run away, little fool! You could not understand! My work must go on! |
| 26393 Lord Feveron |
| 26394 No, I won't be doing that. My work must go on. My craft is all important. There is nothing left to work on except the ultimate materials. You will not stop what is unstoppable! |
| 26395 Lord Feveron |
| 26396 I might as well try to explain the sun to the moon. You can't understand. My work must go on. There is only one place left for my craft to go, and you cannot stand in the way. |
| 26397 Lady Diana |
| 26398 Lady Diana |
| 26399 No, I cannot allow that! You cannot understand! My work, my craft has only one place left to go, and you must not stop it! |
| 26400 Dockhand Ogre |
| 26401 Dockhand Ogre |
| 26402 Just your usual wares, thanks. |
| 26403 *cough* Oh... bless you, my <LADYLORD>, bless you! *cough* I did not know how much longer I would survive buried in there as I was! |
| 26404 Who are you? And how did you end up being buried alive? |
| 26405 I... I was buried by the men who kidnapped me! *cough* They held me for ransom from my family, and after my family had paid, they knocked me out. |
| 26406 I... I remember being carried here and thrown into that grave next to another body! And then they buried me alive! *cough* |
| 26407 I am sure... I am sure I would have died if you had not arrived so soon! *shudder* What a horrid death these evil men had in store for me! Ohhh... |
| 26408 These men must be stopped! What can you tell me about them? |
| 26409 You should report this to the garrison at once! |
| 26410 Well, I am pleased to have saved your life, at least. On your way, then. |
| 26411 I... don't know their names. There were three of them. The youngest carried me here. He dressed all in red... strange and bright as you please. |
| 26412 I woke up with this in my hand... I think I must have torn it off his shirt when he threw me in the grave. Here... perhaps it will help you find him. |
| 26413 Is there anything else you can think of? |
| 26414 Perhaps you should report this to the garrison as well. |
| 26415 Thank you... I shall do my best to locate these men. |
| 26416 Oh no, I couldn't! These men are still out there... and they will surely come after me and my family if they knew I said anything! |
| 26417 They said they had done this before! Kidnapped people and buried them here for money! They will surely exact revenge if I go to the garrison! |
| 26418 Please... you must... you must stop them! I beg of you! |
| 26419 Perhaps you are right. What can you tell me about these men? |
| 26420 Sorry... I have no time to help you. You will have to go to the garrison. |
| 26421 I... I thank you for saving my life. But I am still in danger! *cough* You... look capable with your weapons... please find these men and stop them! |
| 26422 Only that... there was someone who spoke to this man. Perhaps the gravekeeper. You should talk to him at least... he must have seen something! |
| 26423 Thank you... I shall do my best to locate these men and bring them to justice. |
| 26424 On second thought, I think there is little I can do. You have your life now... go to the garrison or not, it is your choice. |
| 26425 Bless you, my <LADYLORD>! I wish you well. I must return to my family now and let them know I am still alive! Th-thank you, Helm, for watching over me! |
| 26426 Oooh, no, I cannot go to the garrison... but thank you for saving me. I must return to my family. I pray these men don't take another victim. Farewell! |
| 26427 The Copper Coronet |
| 26428 I am not sure, Viconia... I have a couple of ideas of where to start looking though, and I must make the effort. |
| 26429 Indecisive? Hardly an attractive feature, <CHARNAME>; I suggest you scour the land and strike quickly into the heart of this man once you find him! |
| 26430 But... that is only my humble opinion. Of course. |
| 26431 Rampah dance! Rampah no be disturbed. You get going. Talk business when you have important! |
| 26432 I was not looking to be a farmer, of course. I just... wanted a place of my own. Where I could find peace. |
| 26433 Protector of the Second +2 |
| 26434 Telbar's Studded Leather +2 |
| 26435 Over time, we formed an awkward friendship. He did not ask why I wore my hood, and I slowly began to trust him. He wondered, though... that was obvious. |
| 26436 Merchant |
| 26437 Kylie |
| 26438 Wallace |
| 26439 I woke up to searing pain. While unconscious, they had abused and tortured me... then tried to bury their sins. |
| 26440 Ribald |
| 26441 Move along, deary. I've no time for simple chitchat. Maybe we can talk when you have something important to say. |
| 26442 You got some coins? I don't need to talk to you if you gots no coins. |
| 26443 Solik Berries |

| 26446 Inspector's Body |
| 26447 I took my revenge, <CHARNAME>. I watched their house, listening to them celebrate their victory in the midst of drunkenness. I watched and I waited. |

| 26450 Lieutenant Aegisfield |
| 26451 Lieutenant Aegisfield |
| 26452 I whispered to him of his mistake, and mine; he had underestimated a drow, and I had trusted foolishly. I tightened the wire until he breathed no more. |

| 26463 Then I will show you when we have the time. I will take you through the deepest lands, and you will see the beauty that I know is there. |
| 26464 That is, if you have not tired of my company yet. |
| 26465 Bridge |
| 26466 I will not trouble you with such "trivial" things as my thoughts again. |
| 26467 I see what is there. Beauty is irrelevant. |
| 26468 I try to see the best in everything. It is difficult sometimes. |
| 26469 No, just the chatter. |
| 26470 Tire? I grow quite fond of your company. I would miss it were it gone. |
| 26471 We have had many people seek our deaths so far. Some would have been friends had things been different. This weighs on my mind. |
| 26472 W... well. I would... I would miss your company too, <CHARNAME>. |
| 26473 *cough* Well, we should be moving on again. Enough of this idle musing. |
| 26474 Ho there, I have worked long and lonely hours, and it is good to see a friendly face! Care to see some of my trinkets and far-flung wares? |
| 26475 Something... for the lady, perhaps? Oh, yes, I see a glint in the eye. There is romance afoot, and it needs the dancing partner of the adornments of affection! |
| 26476 N-no, that's quite all right. Do not make a fuss. |
| 26477 Nonsense! Oh, but perhaps I have overstepped my bounds with my observant eyes. I apologize most profusely. |
| 26478 It changes nothing though. You, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, your name? |
| 26479 None of your business. |
| 26480 <CHARNAME>. |
| 26481 Ah, perhaps it is your curtness that has made the air around the lady so chilly. Might I offer a suggestion? Gifts will warm the coldest hearts. |
| 26482 Perhaps some other time. |
| 26484 I'm so glad you approve. |
| 26485 That doesn't sound like any elves I know. |
| 26486 Your meandering is beginning to grow a bit tiresome, Viconia. |
| 26487 Load times will go MUCH faster if you have done a full install. |
| 26488 To speed up your frame rate, check the config program. |
| 26489 Oh, come now... you have thrived on chaos, have you not? It has thrown challenge after challenge at you, and you have grown stronger and more powerful. |
| 26490 That is what I like to hear. Such words display your virility and stir my passions. I suddenly have fond images of a half-god's strong hand stroking my dark skin... |
| 26491 As you will. Farewell for now. Good luck to you and the lady. Ahh, to be young. Jahaboam bids you not squander what is there to grasp. Farewell! |
| 26492 Or do you claim that you would have preferred to remain a lowly student in that Candlekeep of yours? Tied to the apron strings of your Gorion forever? |
| 26493 I'll not speak of Gorion... or anything else for that matter. Go away. |
| 26494 I was happy in Candlekeep, and I would have stayed there if I had had the chance. |
| 26495 No... I suppose not. |
| 26496 Heh... |
| 26497 Well... |
| 26498 What a... charming fellow. Completely insane of course. Out of his mind. Blind as a bat. No idea what he was saying. |
| 26499 Yes... yes, of course. Out of his mind. Yes. |
| 26500 Perhaps. Or perhaps I have been blind myself. |
| 26501 If you like, I could make that fantasy of yours come true... |
| 26502 Whatever, Viconia. Let's just get back to our traveling, shall we? |
| 26503 Yes. Well. |
| 26504 Let's... let's get going shall we? |
| 26505 Um... I... |
| 26506 It is unfortunate that the good traits of most colnbluth are held in pale little lives no longer than a firefly's. Here and there they flicker, then sad death. |
| 26507 There you go, being a bitch again. |
| 26508 You could try a bit of humanity yourself, Viconia. |
| 26509 I am no surface elf, despite similarity in my limber, ageless body. How about it, <CHARNAME>...? Do you see something in my own elven features that you like? |
| 26510 I'm not going down this road again; forget it. |
| 26511 No, Viconia, I don't. |
| 26512 Of course I do, Viconia. You're beautiful. |
| 26513 Speaking to you is like addressing the open air at times, iblith. If you wish to be moronic, then so be it. |
| 26514 Hah! Your sentiment is simple, the philosophy of a kitten. If I gazed into your ear, would I see aught but gelatinous and cowardly goo within? Laughable. |
| 26515 Hah! A lowly jaluk? Touching me? You are but a s'lurppin wael, and I recoil from your male weakness. Watch how you address your betters in the future. |
| 26516 You deny your fawning male urges, but I know where your god's blood flows, and I laugh at the flaccid path you force it to take. Be gone from my sight, coward. |
| 26517 A compliment I'll accept, though it comes from a fawning coward that too often recoils from his own nature. Be gone from my sight for now, iblith. |
| 26518 Talk or it will be the end of you! |
| 26519 Uncle Lester |
| 26520 I don't know nothing! I just lets them bury what they want when I fill in the graves! It's a man in red what's I see! He's the one. He pays gold, and I turn my head! You want him! |
| 26521 Help me! Help me, please! |
| 26522 What's the problem? |
| 26523 Where is he now? Tell me! |
| 26524 You must see him to get payment. Where do you meet? |
| 26525 Back off and keep your distance. |
| 26526 It's Uncle Lester! He's risen from his grave! He scared everyone away who was at the funeral, and now he's come after me! |
| 26527 I don't know where he is; he comes here. Look, I help you. I think I see him sometimes by Bridge District. There, I help good! You're not going to tell anyone, are you? Are you? |
| 26528 I put up with that cheap bastard all my life! You know what he left me in his will? A sweater! Now, even in death, the damnable fiend still torments me! |
| 26529 Pathetic creature! Run away, far away, and don't you ever come back! |
| 26530 I will not let this slide. The guards will hear of this! |
| 26531 This would be too horrible a truth to get out. I'm just going to kill you so it stops! |
| 26532 Alas, poor Jeeves! I knew him well, dear. |
| 26533 Cheap sweater?! Wellâ€â€I'll have you know that belonged to yer grandfather, you ungrateful git! |
| 26534 He was a most excellent butler. |
| 26535 Not at all like the Jysstev's butlerâ€â€what was his name? |
| 26536 Nooo! Gotta run! Gotta get away! |
| 26537 Jeeves, dear. |
| 26538 Ah, yes. Jeeves... Our Jeeves was a much finer butler than their Jeeves. And their carriage driver, Anthonyâ€â€don't get me started! |
| 26539 Aaaaahhhh! IT'S HIM! |
| 26540 Call me a fiend, will ya? Why, I've never seen such a cheap funeral in my life! You sold my clothes and kept the casket closed! You picked the flowers this mornin' from near the swamp! |
| 26541 Don't get excited dear! Your heart shouldn't have to put up with such poor service. Try not to think about it. |
| 26542 And you gave a drunken priest of Talos a few coppers to slur some lines of profanity to pass for a eulogy! The outrage! The sheer outrage! |
| 26543 What do you want, friend? Can you not see that I am busy here? |
| 26544 The quality of his toadying was severely lacking! Not like old Jeeves here. He was the most obsequious groveler that I have ever had the pleasure of being fawned over by. |
| 26545 Gaahhh! How could I afford anything, old fool? You left all your money to that Calishite whore! You're lucky I didn't just dump you in the river! |
| 26546 Aaahh! The indignity! The insufferable indignity! You miserable wretch of a nephew! |
| 26547 Get back to the grave, you worm-ridden devil! Only you would rise from the dead to torment me! |
| 26548 We should get back, dear. The new Jeeves is waiting with lunch. |
| 26549 Let us stay for a few minutes more. Old Jeevesy would have wanted it that way. |
| 26550 Excuse me, friend. Jeeves has passed away, and Arthur here is getting quite misty. |
| 26551 Oh, I'll go back, all right... but not before I kill you, you disgusting piece of filth! Prepare to die, Nevin! |
| 26552 Eeek! Save me! Save me! |
| 26553 Arthur |
| 26554 Arthur |
| 26555 Maggie |
| 26556 Maggie |
| 26557 There! Stupid git didn't deserve more than a sweater and a kick in the rump anyway! Hmph! Now... I wonder where my Calishite darling went off to... always time for one last quickie... |
| 26558 Nevin |
| 26559 You bastard! Now I'll have to pay to have you reburied! I should have you chopped into mulch and fed to a dog! Gah! Now... where is that idiot priest...? |
| 26560 Nevin |
| 26561 My husband is dead. I would thank you to leave me well enough alone. |
| 26562 He was a good man, he was. *sniff* Just stubborn... refused to give up his coin pouch to a thief. Stubborn fool. |
| 26563 Murdered by thieves. *sniff* A common enough cry in Athkatla and no way for me to seek vengeance. |
| 26564 Must you pester a poor widow with your questions? |
| 26565 I can't... *sniff* I can't take it anymore! |
| 26566 The practice of magic without a license is forbidden in the city of Athkatla. You shall receive one warning only. Further spellcasting will result in your death. |
| 26567 You are unlicensed! This is an unsanctioned use of magical energy! You have been warned. |
| 26568 One for Talos. *gulp* One for me. *gulp* |
| 26569 Lester's a good man. Just won't stay dead... where's that Baalor Ale? |
| 26570 Blessed be chaos! Blessed be the sweet nectar of chaos! Blessed be the numbing effects of said nectar! Blessed be the inflated sense of self-worth! |
| 26571 Oh, terribly sorry. I'll wait at the graveyard then. I think you visit there occasionally? |
| 26572 I think you'll listen to me, and you'll do it now. Or do I have to involve the guards? |
| 26573 Far be it from me to interrupt the spending of your blood money. |
| 26574 What? All right then, what is it you want? What are you trying to pull here? |
| 26575 I extend greetings, my <LADYLORD>, on this darkest of days. My name is Kamir, paladin of Helm. I beg your forgiveness if my demeanor is not more welcoming. |
| 26577 What? What did that little weasel tell you? I knew I shouldn't trust him. I had no choice. Them or me. |
| 26578 What brings you to this place? |
| 26579 I shall not disturb you. |
| 26580 I'll leave you to wallow in your maudlin self-pity, then, and find my amusements elsewhere. |
| 26581 Hold, there... you have an aura of suspicion about you. I warn you that I am Kamir, paladin of Helm... I will brook no trespass on this, my darkest of days. |
| 26582 Why? Tell me what you are doing here. |
| 26583 I mean no trespass. I shall leave you be. |
| 26584 I know what you have been up to at the graveyard. Let's talk, shall we? |
| 26585 I ask you the same question. What do you know of a man named Sethle? |
| 26586 I bring greetings from Tirdir. You are his man in red? Yes, the color matches. |
| 26587 Buried any good friends lately? I know of your scheme. Let's have a chat. |
| 26588 You can choke on your nobility if that's the kind of greeting you give. I'll go elsewhere. |
| 26589 I am no more unique than most who come here. My son lies in yon wee grave. I... I failed my oath to protect the lad, and he has been taken from me. |
| 26590 You are most decent. I... am not ready to leave just yet. |
| 26591 I am sure there is no need to blame yourself. |
| 26592 You failed your oath? Then you should be sorry. |
| 26593 I see. I'll leave you to your mourning, then. |
| 26594 I would answer such cruelty with a challenge if my heart were not leaden with grief. Take your pettiness and go elsewhere. |
| 26595 Tirdir? But he's... It was that little weasel Sethle, wasn't it? He told you. I knew I shouldn't trust him! I had no choice though! Them or me! |
| 26596 Please... leave us alone. There is nothing more that can be done for our poor Wellyn. |
| 26597 *sob* My poor lil wee one... |
| 26598 Why would someone do this? *sob* What could possess someone to kill a little boy? And a halfling too... he never hurt anyone! |
| 26599 It pays the bills. If you want in, I'll cut you a slice. I'm sure we can work something out. |
| 26600 So you have been kidnapping people and dumping them? That's monstrous! |
| 26601 Well, now the choice has been made for you. I'm going to stop this. |
| 26602 So you have been kidnapping people and dumping them? That's monstrous! |
| 26603 Well, now the choice has been made for you. I'm going to stop this. |
| 26604 Calm yourself, my darling. There is... nothing more that can be done for him. |
| 26605 No, I don't think that's an option. Your plot is uncovered. Only a fool would join. |
| 26606 I am quite sure we can't. I'm going to put an end to this right here! |
| 26607 You? You would kill me quick. My partners, they are the ones to fear. You've ruined me, but you'll not get me here! Open the door, boys! I gotta get in! |
| 26608 But why?! *sob* I just... don't... understand... *sob* |
| 26609 Shhh. Shhh, my sweet. It will be all right. |
| 26610 Now, let's not be hasty. There's gold to be made here. More than enough for another partner. |
| 26611 You there... leave us alone. Can't you see that my wife is upset? Just... just leave us be. |
| 26612 No, I don't think that's an option. Your plot is uncovered. Only a fool would join. |
| 26613 Not enough to make this palatable. No, I'm going to put a stop to this! |
| 26614 And only a fool would cross my partners. Damn, they are going to kill me! You don't know what you've done to me! Open the door, boys! I gotta get in! |
| 26615 What th...! You're not supposed to be here! Men! Intruders! |
| 26616 Yes... Arvoreen's blessing. |
| 26617 This is... a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to both of you. Life beyond our simple burrows is never simple or easy. Arvoreen's blessing upon your son. |
| 26618 *sniff* Th-thank you. |
| 26619 I know this is little consolation, but nature calls everyone to leave eventually. Your son's pain is over, and I am sure he feels the love you sent with him. |
| 26620 *sniff* Do you... do you truly think so? |
| 26621 Thank you, sir. That is... that is very kind of you to say. |
| 26622 I'm sorry! I don't know how <PRO_HESHE> found out! |
| 26623 You know not of what you speak, though I am sure you mean well. I took the boy under my protection when his mother was slain by foul orcs in the mountains. |
| 26624 That ain't why we're mad, you little rock-gnawing fool! You were supposed to kill them sacks, not dump them! |
| 26625 I... I couldn't! I can't... I can't stand the blood! |
| 26626 So drown 'em! Whack 'em with a stick! I don't care! What kind of... |
| 26627 I knew not her name, and could not save her from her injuries after I killed the orcs. She gave her son to me... I swore an oath to look after him as my own. |
| 26628 We have to go, Camitis. We got company! |
| 26629 Not before I kill this little rat-stink! Not before! |
| 26630 And I have. I mean... I mean that I did. I love... loved the lad dearly. Stefan, I named him. Strong, honest boy. |
| 26631 But I was called by duty to Tethyr... On my return, I discovered Stefan had been slain by brigands. I... I should have... should been there for him... |
| 26632 Who's there? What do you vermin wish now? The guard will hear of this outrage! Who... You are not my captors. Who are you? I demand to be freed! |
| 26633 You did all that you could. You are not to be blamed. |
| 26634 You demand? You do not seem to be in a position to demand anything. |
| 26635 Of course. I will release your bonds at once! |
| 26636 Well, I thank you then. I have been in this place too long. No doubt my ransom was on the way, but I begin to doubt they would have released me. |
| 26637 You are right. You should have done better for your son. |
| 26638 I'll leave you be. |
| 26639 I am sorry enough for failing my vow. I do not need a stranger to grind it in further. If that is all you wish to do, then I ask you to leave me be. |
| 26640 Tell me about this oath, then... surely it cannot be that bad. |
| 26641 Fine, I'll go. |
| 26642 I tire of this maudlin whining... I'll leave you to it. |
| 26643 But I am. I failed my vow. And I know no way in which I can atone for my failure. If... if there were only some way... I would embrace it gladly. |
| 26644 You were probably very close to being killed. I have exposed them though. |
| 26645 They have killed others. Buried them alive. A cruel, if bloodless death. |
| 26646 Then you have saved me from a grim fate indeed. I have nothing of value on me to repay your kindness, I'm afraid. |
| 26647 I offer my sincere thanks, however. |
| 26648 I and my descendants are in your debt. Farewell. |
| 26649 I am a prisoner, not a victim! Answer me! Are you to rescue me, or are you to ransom me?! |
| 26650 I may know of a way. There is an orphan girl not far from here, accompanied by a priest of Lathander. Perhaps you could atone by caring for her. |
| 26651 You are no better a creature than those wretches that kidnapped me! You will rot in the highest trees of Tethir for this! Get out of my sight, I will not look upon you! |
| 26652 I am your rescue, my lady. Forgive my jest. |
| 26653 I have not decided yet. |
| 26654 A fine idea! You shall be free, but not before I collect your ransom! |
| 26655 I'm sorry, I do not know how to help you. |
| 26656 This is sickening; it is so melodramatic. I'll leave you to it. |
| 26657 I see. I shall leave you alone then. |
| 26658 No answer is also an answer. You are a villain that profiteers off of the pain of others. Get out of my sight; I will not look upon my captors! |
| 26659 I am sorry enough for failing my vow. I do not need a stranger to grind it in further. If that is all you wish to do, then I ask you to leave me be. |
| 26660 Perhaps you can make up for it. There is a girl recently orphaned near here with a cleric of Lathander. Go and care for her as you cared for your son. |
| 26661 You return! Have you come to your senses, or do you still intend to hold me here? |
| 26662 I think you are a stupid man to cling so firmly to your idiotic oath. I'll leave you to it. |
| 26663 Fine, I'll leave you alone. |
| 26664 You are free, and I beg your forgiveness. A madness overtook me. |
| 26665 I may yet collect your ransom. You are safer in my care than you were. |
| 26666 An... an orphan, you say? Perhaps... perhaps that would be a way... to atone for my failure. Thank you, my <LADYLORD>... I shall go and talk to them at once. |
| 26667 It has come too late for me to respect you, but I thank you nonetheless. I was to suffer a much grimmer fate in the hands of those others, despite your selfish games. |
| 26668 It is no matter. I do not expect you to. But please... leave me to my grief a little longer. I... I am not ready to leave my son just yet. |
| 26669 I have nothing to offer you, nor do I think you truly deserve it for your games. But at least I am free now, and this horrid ordeal is finally over. |
| 26670 I thank you. I will find my own way out. |
| 26671 Then get out of my sight. You are not worthy of my eyes. |
| 26672 ...*sniff* |
| 26673 Sire? |
| 26674 Something amiss? |
| 26675 Yes? |
| 26676 That's terrible! |
| 26677 Fair enough, my friend. |
| 26678 I go forth. |
| 26679 I am Dawnlord Arenthis of the church of Lathander... excuse my young charge. Risa doesn't talk much since the recent death of her parents. |
| 26680 Such is life. The sooner she gets used to it, the better she will be. |
| 26681 I'll leave you both alone then. |
| 26682 Very well. |
| 26683 Indeed it is. And there is very little that can be done for her as well... other than to put her into an orphanage, I suppose. She is so shy and sad, though, I am sure it will do her no good. Tsk. |
| 26684 If only there were someone who would care for her. Hmm. You strike me as a good person... perhaps you would be willing to care for a child in need? What would you say to that? |
| 26685 At your command. |
| 26686 I lead the life of a wanderer and adventurer, priest. That is no life for a child to take part in. |
| 26687 That shouldn't be too difficult. |
| 26688 In Arvoreen's name, it will be done. |
| 26689 Consider it done! |
| 26690 Should ha' done the deed when ye had the chance. Now we'll settle the score with you! |
| 26691 My life is not for a child... but there is a paladin not far from here who I think might be a suitable guardian. His own son has just died... and I think he might be amenable. |
| 26692 A blade would have ended this in Athkatla, but you were too slow! Now you die! |
| 26693 I've no interest in rearing a brat, priest. Find someone else to pawn her off on. |
| 26694 I would not ask you to care for her, surely... but might you know of someone who would make a suitable guardian? |
| 26695 You... you are the one I am to meet? I know of no one else that would approach me. Show me the note if you are who you appear to be. |
| 26696 Some compassion would not be out of order for one so young and innocent, I would think. Please... leave us alone, then, if you cannot find it in your heart. |
| 26697 I am your kidnapper. Give me the gold, and you will have your mistress. |
| 26698 What note? No, I thought you were someone else. Sorry for disturbing you. |
| 26699 I shall attempt it immediately. |
| 26700 Lathander's blessing upon you, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 26701 *sigh* You are correct, of course. If only there were someone who could act as the girl's guardian. I do so wish there were more I could do for her! |
| 26702 Gold? That was not part of the deal. You shall have the ransom agreed. Please, that is all we brought. There can be no more. |
| 26703 Damn, where are they? |
| 26704 Actually, there is a paladin not far from here who I think might be a suitable guardian. His own son has just died... and I think he might be amenable. |
| 26705 I wish I could help. But I know of nobody. |
| 26706 The girl needs toughening, if you ask me. If she is surrounded by mewling priests such as yourself, she will have nothing but disappointment in her future. |
| 26707 That will do. I will point the way to the lady. You will find her there. |
| 26708 I wish this over with quickly, so whatever it is, it will have to do. |
| 26709 A paladin? A true paladin? Perhaps... perhaps that would be an excellent idea. If he is willing, that is. |
| 26710 Please, my <LADYLORD>... it would mean so much if you could find this paladin and ask him about this. Risa needs a proper guardian much more than an orphanage. I beg it of you! |
| 26711 I will do as you ask. |
| 26712 And the lady? |
| 26713 Why don't you go ask him yourself? |
| 26714 Here, I will point in her direction. Now off with you! |
| 26715 She can be found in one of these houses around here. Go look. |
| 26716 Forget it... I have better things to do. |
| 26717 Our deal is done. May you rot for what you have done. |
| 26718 Actually, there is a paladin not far from here who I think might be a suitable guardian. His own son has just died... and I think he might be amenable. |
| 26719 No, I do not know of anyone. |
| 26720 You're pretty quick to pawn her off for a supposedly good priest. |
| 26721 *sigh* That is too bad. If someone does come to mind, please return and tell me. I would like to help this girl if I can. Lathander's blessing upon you, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 26722 Thank you, my <LADYLORD>. I shall wait here for your return. |
| 26723 I cannot, my <LADYLORD>. I must stay and care for Risa. If you could seek out this paladin, I would be most grateful... and Lathander would smile on you. |
| 26724 *sniff*... go 'way! |
| 26725 Greetings again, my <LADYLORD>. Lathander's blessing to you. |
| 26726 Greetings again, my <LADYLORD>. Ach... it still pains me so that Risa here has no choice but to go to an orphanage. It would do her little good, I think. |
| 26727 Hail once again, my <LADYLORD>. I... please. I ask that you leave me to grieve for my son in peace. |
| 26728 My <LADYLORD>, I ask that you leave me alone with my grief. Your presence reminds me of my failure to uphold my oath, and it wracks my breast with pain. |
| 26729 Tell me about this oath, then... surely it cannot be that bad. |
| 26730 All right... I shall leave you be. |
| 26731 Oh, boo hoo. My, you are a piece of work. |
| 26732 Hail again, my <LADYLORD>. I do not wish to be rude... but my heart pains with the loss of my son and my inability to atone for my failure. Please... leave me be. |
| 26733 The... the locket is lovely, by the way. Thank you. |
| 26734 Actually, I may have a solution, Kamir. There is an orphan girl not far from here, with a priest of Lathander. Perhaps you could atone by caring for her. |
| 26735 All right, I shall leave you alone, then. |
| 26736 Greetings... greetings to you both. I... I understand that the girl is in need of a guardian? |
| 26737 I am pleased to meet you. This is |
| 26738 Risa. My name is Risa. |
| 26739 ...yes. Yes, I am most pleased to agree. This is Risa. |
| 26740 Hello, Risa. I am happy to meet you. |
| 26741 Are you a knight? Your armor's awfully shiny. |
| 26742 I am a paladin, little one... something like a knight. I hold myself to strict standards within the worship of Helm. Do you know who Helm is? |
| 26743 N-no... |
| 26744 Then I... then I suppose I shall have to... teach you. Yes. I could teach you. Would you like that, Risa? |
| 26745 Don't you have any children? |
| 26746 Nay. Sadly, my son has recently died. |
| 26747 Oh... you must be very sad... |
| 26748 Yes, I am. I miss him very much. I think he would approve, however, of my taking care of you. That is... if you are willing. |
| 26749 O-okay... where do you live? |
| 26750 Come... I shall show you the church. Thank you, cleric... and thank you too, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am... most appreciative. |
| 26751 I am most pleased at this wonderful turn of events. Lathander's greatest blessing upon you, my <LADYLORD>, for the part you have played in this. Sometimes... sometimes Faerûn can be a kind place... |
| 26752 Welther |
| 26753 Welther |
| 26754 Priest of Talos |
| 26755 Priest of Talos |
| 26756 I had hoped this would end better, but their treachery has soured me. |
| 26757 As it does on mine. More so that you are in conflict with your own kind. |
| 26758 There is little we can do to alter the past. The best must be made of it. |
| 26759 What the blazes...?! |
| 26760 They acted out of fear. Guarding the balance is very important. Galvarey may have been in the wrong, but those that followed him believed they did right. |
| 26761 Then they are fools, as are you to stand by them. |
| 26762 I can only act as I will. What else can I do if they are not willing to listen? |
| 26763 Perhaps I was more of a fool than even I thought. I will not trouble you again with such talk. |
| 26764 I do not know what to suggest. I... I would follow you, because I know you will ultimately do good, but they are my kin. I don't know what to do. |
| 26765 You can only do as you must, whatever that might be. |
| 26766 As all good advice, that was absolutely no help at all. Come, let's get going. |
| 26767 Again I must say how much I prefer the forest to artificial structures. Everything I see simply reinforces that to no end. |
| 26768 You are too far away from the grave to do anything with it. |
| 26769 Yes, you are quite fond of saying that. I had not thought druids so pushy. |
| 26770 There is order in the city, to a degree. It is not easy to see that in nature. |
| 26771 I agree to an extent, though there is merit in some cities as cultural centers. |
| 26772 Nearby, you see an open grave. A chill runs up your spine as you hear a sound emit from it. You shake your head and continue walking. The sound is clearer now. You are not imagining it. Muffled cries for help are coming from the grave. |
| 26773 The grave is only partially filled. The gravekeeper must be lazy. Within a few minutes, you have reached the coffin. You open it to find a corpse and a man who is quite obviously alive. You help him out of the coffin. |
| 26774 It gives me comfort, something we could use more of. I will "push" no further in your direction, rest assured. Hmmph! |
| 26775 Ah, but only if you choose not to look. Nature falls into balance, whereas man must work for his. I just prefer the simpler... the simpler roles in nature. |
| 26776 Your role is as harsh as you make it, though yours is difficult because of me. |
| 26777 If you cannot function in society, then perhaps you should retreat and hide. |
| 26778 Yes, but must the gathering be done with such fervor? When people assemble, they attract those that want to lead. Why do they not just accept their proper place? |
| 26779 Other than a rotting corpse, there is nothing of note within the grave. |
| 26780 But one's place is not always apparent. Who decides on a person's proper place? |
| 26781 Usually you speak foolish garbage, but this time your words ring true. My proper place is the god of murder, and your place is to serve as my slave! |
| 26782 No, I find comfort because of you. Others cannot see what I do, and it is their intolerance that makes it difficult. |
| 26783 Magic Resistance |
| 26784 Magic Resistance (Alteration) Level: 5 Sphere: Protection Range: Touch Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, the recipient receives a resistance to all magic. The resistance conferred is 2% per level of the caster, up to a maximum of 40% at 20th level. This resistance is set so that if the target already has more Magic Resistance than the priest would confer, it will actually lower it to the set value. This effect will last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. |
| 26785 Are you intentionally being adversarial? I will not have it. I was trying to confide. Not again; this is difficult as it is. I will trouble you no more. |
| 26786 And what is it you see in me? |
| 26787 I see... I see a confidant. I see someone undeserving of the scorn of the ignorant. I see... I... |
| 26788 Now I am babbling like a brook. We should not dawdle like this. |
| 26789 You straddle a line between confidence and megalomania. These discussions disturb me when they turn like this. I will not bring it up again. |
| 26790 You are not a slave to your parentage though, and... I guess I am no Harper. |
| 26791 If they were in the wrong, then you have betrayed nothing. |
| 26792 They did not impress me with their behavior. You are better off as a traitor. |
| 26793 Is that what you think I am? A traitor? I don't know if I can stomach this. I... I don't want to talk to you of this anymore. |
| 26794 I guess that is true. That fool Galvarey sought to do an injustice. He betrayed the spirit of the Harpers, not me. This knowledge will ease my mind. |
| 26795 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. You are a great comfort. |
| 26796 I have been in a similar place as this before, though it was in the company of other Harpers. I will miss those times. |
| 26797 You would miss them anyway. Think of them fondly and move on. |
| 26798 There must be a way to reconcile this matter. |
| 26799 Graveyard |
| 26800 That is a hard season to let pass. Fall and winter are bearable because spring will certainly follow. There is no guarantee that I can emerge from my winter. |
| 26801 Then hold your true friends close for warmth. I will not be quick to leave you. |
| 26802 Then wallow in pity. And be sure to keep the rest of us updated about it. |
| 26803 I doubt that it will be that easy. Galvarey was as close to a regional leader as the Harpers have. The events will be told from his favor, I am sure. |
| 26804 Then there is no need to fret about it. We know the worst and can prepare. |
| 26805 I will kill the next group as well if I have to. They will learn to respect me. |
| 26806 It would seem that the coldest thing in sight is you. I will seek spring in not talking to you. |
| 26807 No better comfort could I ask, <CHARNAME>. I will continue to stand for you if you do the same for me. Together we can... togeth... |
| 26808 I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of sorts. Let's continue this another time. |
| 26809 Behavior like that will only serve to prove what they claim. Perhaps it does not need proving. This disturbs me. I will not speak of this again. |
| 26810 Yes, I suppose there is some peace in this. There is little that could happen to make this worse. That "WE" will prepare is also pleasing to me. |
| 26811 Skies are a bit gray no matter where we go, aren't they? Or perhaps it's just my mood. Yes, that must be it. No wonder, I suppose. I cannot help but think of Reviane. |
| 26812 Her actions were in the wrong, no matter her intention. |
| 26813 We did no wrong. How were we supposed to have reacted? |
| 26814 We should think of them all. Perhaps we should do a preemptive strike? |
| 26815 There are times when you seem almost reasonable, and then you say such things that only make me doubt myself. Perhaps... perhaps they were right? I don't know. |
| 26816 I... No, I don't hope she was wrong. I wish she were right, because that would be simple, and I wouldn't have to worry about how I... feel. I have doubts... |
| 26817 Jaheira, if we are to avoid such conflicts, I must know how to avoid them. |
| 26818 How is it you feel, Jaheira? What is it you are saying? |
| 26819 Avoid them? The Harpers? What are you asking of me? |
| 26820 I don't know. I begin to wish we had been wrong. It would be so much simpler. I want to believe as they do, and I wish I didn't feel like I... |
| 26821 I must know how to evade the Harpers. Who better to show me how? |
| 26822 You would ask me to further my betrayal by revealing Harper secrets? I... I cannot do this! What if you... I mean... there is still the chance that you... |
| 26823 I don't know. I want to stay with you, but we will need to avoid my former kin. I will have to tell you about them. What if you betray... what if you turn... |
| 26824 I am sorry, <CHARNAME>, I didn't mean to suggest anything. |
| 26825 If you do not trust me, then you should do me the courtesy of saying so. |
| 26826 I understand just fine. You think as they do, despite what you know. |
| 26827 No! I just... this is so damn difficult to get straight. We should... we should speak of this later. Things will be said in anger... Let's move on. |
| 26828 This may be a bad time or not, but I think we should speak. |
| 26829 This is a very bad time. Could this wait? |
| 26830 Very well. |
| 26831 No, this cannot wait. I don't think I can resolve this if it is not discussed. If this is put off... then all I am thinking must be put off. |
| 26832 I am sorry. I do not wish to speak with you now. |
| 26833 Fine. Speak. |
| 26834 Fine, get used to it. |
| 26835 Yes, well, I wished to apologize for our argument before. I wanted... I wanted you to know why I cannot speak of the Harpers. There is much harm I could do. |
| 26836 This is not a question of harm; it is a question of trust. |
| 26837 Yes, well, keep your little secrets, and I'll keep mine, and we'll both be just fine. |
| 26838 And I do trust you, but I do not trust myself. I am no traitor, of that I am sure, but what am I if I must hide from my brethren? What am I then? |
| 26839 If I am in the right, why must I tell their secrets? If I am in the right, why must I hide? I do not have answers for these questions, and they worry me. |
| 26840 There is no need for that tone, I feel bad as it is. You have gained an enemy, but I have lost a family. I have doubts now, and I am not used to it. |
| 26841 That you are worried shows you care about all those involved. |
| 26842 The choice is simple in my mind. Defend yourself or die. Kill or be killed. |
| 26843 I begin to think that most things are simple to you. You have helped nothing with this comment. I... I do not wish to continue this. Let's just go. Quietly. |
| 26844 Yes, but can I? There is no middle ground. I am heading for an extreme of either end. With you, at least the choice is mine. It is, isn't it? |
| 26845 If you do not do what is best for the party, you will be cast aside. It's that simple. |
| 26846 Who am I to judge? The least I can do is offer you the same as you offer me. |
| 26847 I thank you for this. It helps. It does. |
| 26848 There is an ill wind in the air. Do you feel it? I feel a storm inside, in the distance. |
| 26849 I don't know, all right?! I feel uneasy! You do not make it better looking at me like I am out of my mind! |
| 26850 What does that mean, Jaheira? What the hell are you talking about? |
| 26851 You are more sensitive to the weather, being a druid. You would know. |
| 26852 Do you mean the actual weather, or is this prophecy of a sort? |
| 26853 Don't take your frustrations out on me! I won't stand for it! |
| 26854 Very well, I apologize, but you must admit that your words are a bit odd. |
| 26855 Then I will make sure you do not! I will not bother you again! |
| 26856 It is not the weather. I just... something is coming, and I do not like how it feels. I don't know what it is, but I do not like how it feels. |
| 26857 I don't know what I meant. They say you shiver when someone walks over your grave. I feel as though something were marching back and forth across mine. |
| 26858 Well, you're doomed then. Lay down and die. |
| 26859 A parable for change, isn't it? Not death, but change. |
| 26860 I hope I can offer you such "kind" words when you need it. This is no time for humor, thank you. Let's just keep moving, but... stay close, if you would. |
| 26861 I don't know. Let's just get going, and it will pass. If you don't mind, <CHARNAME>, I would walk in step with you. I... just need someone near me. |
| 26862 I... I am sorry, but I need a moment to collect myself. |
| 26863 We don't have time to stop. Get moving! |
| 26864 No need to ask. We haven't had time to stop since your meeting with... well... |
| 26865 <CHARNAME>? I don't know what to... I am NOT used to this! I am the one in control! I am... I... |
| 26866 Jaheira, why did you leave the Harpers? I mean, I know "why," but why for me? |
| 26867 Selfish, selfish, selfish! People have died because of... what I want, what I see in... you. The Harpers have rightfully turned their backs! Rightfully! I... |
| 26868 What? You cannot give me a second to... Fine, if that is what you wish, then you have already answered any question I might have said. Let's go. Now! Go! |
| 26869 Selfish... |
| 26870 There is no shame in this. You did what you thought was right. |
| 26871 They were in the wrong! You said so! You seemed sure then! |
| 26872 Did I? What if I am wrong? What if my own stupid thoughts have colored what I see? What if you... |
| 26873 What if it all goes wrong? What happens to what is lost? I can't risk any more! So much is gone. |
| 26874 We live, and the world goes on. Hear my cliché and smile. Please? Don't make me say another. |
| 26875 Perhaps, but going back is not an option now, is it? |
| 26876 Mmph... don't... don't make me laugh, you... Thanks, <CHARNAME>, but I don't want to talk any more right now. Thanks. |
| 26877 No. No it isn't. Blindly on, hitting walls as we go. *sniff* By the gods, let's just get moving. I do so hate getting this sick on emotion. |
| 26878 Blast, my armor could do with a cleaning. |
| 26879 You seem to have cheered up a bit. Feeling better? |
| 26880 I will get you the best armor in all of Athkatla if it will help. |
| 26881 It is well worn. I mean, it's used, but on you, it is well worn. |
| 26882 Such a line I have not heard since my early days traveling the Hordelands. Thank you for trying to cheer me, but I will manage. |
| 26883 Your silver tongue could do with some smithing as well. A bit blunt, I would think. |
| 26884 Somewhat. I am far from my old self, however. I thank you for putting up with me. |
| 26885 Think nothing of it. You have done more for me. |
| 26886 Yes, well, as long as it does not continue. I don't wish to hear it. |
| 26887 Yes... yes, I suppose I have. How much did I do for you, however, and how much was for me alone? |
| 26888 It's not important. Come now, you were almost happy for a moment there. |
| 26889 Don't start all over again. I don't need to hear it again. |
| 26890 I am fine. Let's just keep going. |
| 26891 No, no, it wouldn't. I am sorry, but this will take time once again. |
| 26892 You are feeling better though? |
| 26893 You spend much of your life waiting. When do you get to the "doing" part? |
| 26894 Then you won't. I am in the middle of a decision, and I think you have just made it for me. Come, let's get going. You'll not hear another word. |
| 26895 When I am good and ready. I suppose I cannot blame you when I blame myself. Let's just go; there is much to do. |
| 26896 *sigh* Your old injuries feeling all right? I thought I saw you wince a moment ago. |
| 26897 Hmm? No, nothing like that. Likely you just caught me looking your way. |
| 26898 What? Ah, yes, just a bit of... of knee trouble. A roll of the eyes for the pain. |
| 26899 Oh. I... I see. I am flattered, I suppose. |
| 26900 I am sorry; was I out of line? |
| 26901 Well, thank you for being so thrilled. Makes me feel good about myself. |
| 26902 And your eyes rolled my way most of the time because...? I... I guess I find your attentions pleasing, but perhaps not appropriate right now. |
| 26903 I am sorry if I offended you. |
| 26904 Ouch. That makes me feel so good about myself. |
| 26905 Oh, no, not in the least, really. I am just... I have to deal with a few things... I have to decide some things. |
| 26906 It's not you. I am just... I need to decide a few things. I have had much to think about recently. |
| 26907 I apologize for being in a foul mood. I wish I could say it would end soon, but I don't know. It's not you, though. It's not... |
| 26908 Soâ€â€ah... Could I Could I have a few moments of your time? |
| 26909 Is there not a better time for our little chats? |
| 26910 Certainly. What is it you wish to know? |
| 26911 I imagine this would be awkward at any time, so I must answer no. Please, hear me out. |
| 26912 I don't have the time for this now. |
| 26913 As inconvenient as it is, go ahead. |
| 26914 Thank you. I wished to speak of the future a bit. I know we have discussed this in brief before, but I need to... clarify a few things. |
| 26915 You were the one that thought my future mine to control. Has this changed? |
| 26916 Why? Has your recent loss affected how you see me? |
| 26917 No, no, not as such. I just wished to know how you fared on the path you have chosen. Granted, I am right here to see, but I don't know what you... think. |
| 26918 Do you still find my company beneficial? Do you still think of our missing friends as often as you did? What of your fight to remain in balance? |
| 26919 Jaheira, this is not a "chat." This is more a judicial inquiry. |
| 26920 What is this? Why are you trying to "extract" this information? |
| 26921 I... I see. Then my decision is made for me. I am sorry for interrupting you. Rest assured that it will not happen again. |
| 26922 I am sorry then. I did not mean to test you so. Perhaps this can wait for another time. Forget I said anything. |
| 26923 What? Let's just go. |
| 26924 I... I need to speak with you a moment. |
| 26925 What is it, Jaheira? |
| 26926 What now? How do you pick these times to chat? |
| 26927 I just speak when I feel I... I must. Sorry if talking is a chore, but what am I here for if I cannot speak? I merely wanted to say something. Please listen. |
| 26928 I wished to apologize for my questions earlier. I was too forward. I needed to know you remain the same man that I began traveling with so long ago. |
| 26929 I am as I was. If there is something new, it is because you did not see it before. |
| 26930 I suppose it has been some time. Many things have changed. I have not. |
| 26931 I have been growing annoyed with these comments of yours. Does that count? |
| 26932 That does not ease my mind. I must know what is truth, or I cannot trust myself. My decisions have affected many, and I do not wish to endanger anyone else. |
| 26933 I do not hide anything from you, Jaheira. I have no reason to. |
| 26934 And I must suffer for this? I tire of these games. |
| 26935 No? The Harper in your midst? |
| 26936 You are not "the Harper in my midst," you are Jaheira by my side. |
| 26937 You are no longer a Harper. Any enemy of them is a friend of mine. |
| 26938 Is everyone an ally or an enemy? Is everything a matter of battle to you? I had hoped it would not be, but I have had growing doubts to the contrary. |
| 26939 I think I have received the answer I sought. I guess I was just looking too deep. I will not bother you again, <CHARNAME>. |
| 26940 I... I don't know what to say to that. I still have many concerns that must be addressed, but you seem so... |
| 26941 There has been change all around. You may have been affected in ways you don't know. |
| 26942 I need to think on this some more. Let's get moving. |
| 26943 How... hm. How did the last battle make you feel? Did you enjoy it? |
| 26944 Jaheira! I have about had enough of this. You do not trust me. Say so! |
| 26945 No more than you, I am sure. I do what must be done. Is that wrong? |
| 26946 Very much so. I enjoy combat. I have seen you enjoy it too. Is that so wrong? |
| 26947 I... I am sorry! But I must know! I must know that you are more human than not! I must know that your... your poison blood has not taken your senses! |
| 26948 I must know that the child of Bhaal in front of me is as sincere as he seems, so I do not get myself... I mean, get anyone else hurt... pursuing your company. |
| 26949 No, but what were your motivations? You can be violent like any other person, but there is more at stake with you. What were you thinking? |
| 26950 This is growing tiresome, Jaheira. If you do not trust me, say so. |
| 26951 I do not recall. How long before your questions mirror Galvarey's? |
| 26952 If my word and your eyes are not enough, ask yourself what could be? |
| 26953 It sounds like you are not ready to "pursue" anyone. Leave me be. |
| 26954 I guess that would be best, wouldn't it? For... for the best. I will not bother you again. |
| 26955 So you are saying that if nothing could ever make things right, it is me that is wrong. I am... I am looking for excuses to avoid you... and what I feel. |
| 26956 I do not recall myself being such a mess. It is time, I guess, to move or get off the pot. Chaos in their passage indeed; you have nothing on me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 26957 Let's get to walking. I have yet more thinking to do. |
| 26958 Good morning, my lad. How are ye this morn? I did not wish to startle ye, but I was walking by and could not help but notice this note blowing in the wind. |
| 26959 It looks important, and I should not wish anyone to lose what is really important. Do ye hear what I am saying to thee? I thought so. Good luck. |
| 26960 Jaheira! I would have words with you! |
| 26961 Dermin? What are you doing back here? I am glad to see you; I had thought our friendship... |
| 26962 I am not here for a social call. This is the last time we will see each other peacefully. I have come to speak a warning. |
| 26963 What are you talking about? |
| 26964 It has been decided. You are a killer of Harpers and a traitor. You have collaborated with our known enemies. Your execution has been ordered. |
| 26965 What? Such a thing has never been done! |
| 26966 This is a very special case. You have faced little opposition from the Harpers so far. From here on, the attacks will increase in severity, unless you come with me now. |
| 26967 What do you mean? |
| 26968 This is an internal matter of justice and does not involve this <CHARNAME>. You can spare <PRO_HIMHER> the attacks if you submit. |
| 26969 You will do no such thing, Jaheira! |
| 26970 What sort of deal is this? |
| 26971 The only sort she will get. Think on it, Jaheira. You will receive the hearing you wish. |
| 26972 She will decide for herself after due thought... You have already done quite enough. |
| 26973 Very well, Dermin. I will think on this. |
| 26974 You do that, Jaheira. There will be no other warnings. |
| 26975 Well, that was decidedly unpleasant, and more than I wish to worry about. |
| 26976 You will not agree to such a thing, of course. |
| 26977 More of their tricks. I do not trust him. |
| 26978 His deal is thought-provoking. What are you going to do? |
| 26979 Of... of course. It would be senseless. It does put a different light on things though. I will give this much thought indeed. |
| 26980 I am going to do exactly what I said I would do. I am going to think about this. All of this. |
| 26981 I have known him a long time. He was a mentor when I had none. I will think on this a long time. All of this. |
| 26982 From a distance, he had thought me a surface elf. Surprisingly, when he learned I was drow, he offered shelter. It was a sanctuary while I learned the human tongue. |
| 26983 He was Calishite, I believe. They are fond of slaves. The price for my safety was the favors I bestowed... erotic arts that the drow have honed for an eon. |
| 26984 Does it amuse you that I had to run my dark hands along his sweaty folds and tickle him artfully with my tongue, that he exerted himself wildly as I passionately bit his shoulder? |
| 26985 Actually, I rather enjoyed it: He was quickly my pawn, and the caravan went as I wished. Alas, his heart gave out one night... The guards thought it murder and chased me away. |
| 26986 You are one sick, twisted bitch, Viconia. Get away from me. |
| 26987 That's horrible... I can't believe he made you do those things. |
| 26988 I suppose you did what you had to do. |
| 26989 Oh, do not look at me in such a manner. Does your manhood wilt from talk of using drow knowledge of the erotic to survive in your world? Is it so terrible? |
| 26990 I had heard manhood was available at a price; I am not surprised to find you copperless. Cower before my manner, if you must, <CHARNAME>... you disgust me. |
| 26991 Not at all. |
| 26992 I think it's disgusting... but I suppose you had little choice. |
| 26993 Oh, get away from me already. I tire of your ridiculous games. |
| 26994 Good, I am pleased you have some sense... or is it that you wish to partake of the same pleasures? Is that what I see? *chuckle* Perhaps another time, jaluk... |
| 26995 Oh, poor dear, to be assaulted by such a show of commanding erotic power. Does my drow beauty make you shrink away? You will not win my respect with cowardice, jaluk. |
| 26996 I... I know, I know, my husband. *sob* But I saw my poor little Wellyn, I saw him! He comes to me at night, and he is not at rest! He was murdered... *sob*... and he is not at rest! |
| 26997 ...Mama? Papa? Is that you? |
| 26998 What manner of spirit are you? Why are you not at rest? |
| 26999 Hold, friends! This may be no simple spirit! |
| 27000 Spirit? I... my name is Wellyn. I just want... I just want my stuffed bear back... |
| 27001 Your stuffed bear? |
| 27002 Spirit? I've... I've never hurt anybody! My name is Wellyn, and I... I just want my stuffed bear back... |
| 27003 Stuffed bear? What is this bear you speak of? |
| 27004 It's my favorite bear, Littleman... The bad man who came into our house... heâ€â€he hurt me, and he took Littleman with everything else... *sob* I can never go to sleep without Littleman! |
| 27005 A thief killed you and took your stuffed bear along with the rest of his loot? If I found this bear for you, would you be at peace? |
| 27006 I have no time for this foolishness. Away with you, spirit! |
| 27007 I cannot help you, Wellyn. |
| 27008 Oh, yes! I could go to sleep if only I had him! Would you get him for me? Would you, please please please? |
| 27009 Very well. Do you know where your bear is? |
| 27010 I have no time for such an irritating task. Begone. |
| 27011 I cannot help you, Wellyn. Sorry. |
| 27012 Oh... *sob* I just... I just want my Littleman! *sob* Where is my mama? *sob*... Mama? Is that you?... |
| 27013 We will honor your demands in exchange for the release of the Lady Elgea. As per your request, I will meet you in front of the Copper Coronet after nightfall, and I will bring the ransom. Welther |
| 27014 Oh, please, please! *sob* I just want my Littleman! *sob* Why did you take it?! ...Mama? Mama, is that you? ... |
| 27015 Yes... *sniff* The bad man has it at that inn in the slums. The Copper something. *sniff* He's in one of those bedrooms in the back! I think his name is "Llynis"... |
| 27016 I've... I've gone to him... *sob*... I've tried to tell him that I just want my bear, please, but he just gets too frightened of me. *sob* Oh, please get it from him! |
| 27017 ...Mama? Mama, do you know where my Littleman is? Do you have him? |
| 27018 Yes, Wellyn... here is your bear. You can go to sleep now. |
| 27019 No, I don't have your bear, I'm afraid. |
| 27020 Begone, spirit! Away with you! |
| 27021 You have him! You have him! Oh, thank you, <SIRMAAM>, thank you! I can go to sleep now! Thank you! |
| 27022 Greater Skeleton |
| 27023 Greater Skeleton |
| 27024 You don't? *sob* Oh... could you get him? Could you get my stuffed bear, pleeeaaasse? |
| 27025 I will try, Wellyn. |
| 27026 Do you know where he is? I seem to have forgotten. |
| 27027 You have come for the blade, I suppose. It is as we have always expected, my friend. (He glances to the creature beside him.) Too long in this pit, too long. |
| 27028 I have no time for this. Away with you! |
| 27029 ...th-thank you, <SIRMAAM>... |
| 27030 ...Mama? Papa? Is that you? Do you have my Littleman? |
| 27031 Tell me what this "Littleman" is. Is this the stuffed bear you spoke of? |
| 27032 If I get this Littleman for you, would you be at peace? |
| 27033 I'm sorry, spirit. I cannot help you. |
| 27034 Away with you, spirit! Back to the grave! |
| 27035 *sob* Mama? Is that you? *sob* You're not my mama! But... but you have my bear! You have my Littleman! |
| 27036 Oh, please... I cannot sleep without my Littleman! Can I have him... can I have him, please? |
| 27037 This stuffed bear? Er, certainly... here you go... |
| 27038 Never! The bear is mine! Away with you, spirit! |
| 27039 What?! You won't give me my bear?! You... you are so MEAN! |
| 27040 Ahhhh... fleshling! This is OUR land in the evening... this is no place for such as YOU! |
| 27041 DESTROY THE FLESHLING! |
| 27042 There are words scratched into the rust of the pipe. The handwriting looks like that of a child: They wailed and sighed Then they died From the grave I've had my kiss Bring me now the lover's gift This could only have been written by a terrible poet or a madman. |
| 27043 Aaah! Oh... me pardons... I thought ye were that bloody ghost again...! |
| 27044 Again? You have been visited by a ghost before? |
| 27045 Your name wouldn't be Llynis, would it? |
| 27046 Who are you? |
| 27047 I'll be on my way. |
| 27048 Oh, aye... unfortunately. A, uh... ghost is sometimes hauntin' me. Terrible, frightenin' thing, that is. |
| 27049 Why would a ghost be haunting you? |
| 27050 Your name wouldn't be Llynis, would it? |
| 27051 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 27052 I'll be on my way. |
| 27053 Well... yes, it is. How did you know that? |
| 27054 I have been sent by the ghost of the little boy you murdered to retrieve his stuffed bear. Hand it over now! |
| 27055 I am here to avenge the murder of a little boy, thief! |
| 27056 This ghost you mentioned... it wouldn't be a little halfling boy by the name of Wellyn, would it? |
| 27057 Llynis |
| 27058 No reason. Excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 27059 Llynis |
| 27060 Me name is Llynis, me <LADYLORD>... I am a, er, merchant of fine goods. Pleased t' meet ye. Now, if ye'll excuse me... ye are in my room... |
| 27061 You mentioned something about a ghost. Have you been visited by one before? |
| 27062 I'll go where I like, when I like. Don't push your luck. |
| 27063 All right, all right. I'm leaving. |
| 27064 Next time don't be bloody sneakin' up on people when they're in their private rooms, by Mask! Ye just about gave me a heart attack, ye did! |
| 27065 Oh... er, I don't know. Can't say for sure. Excuse me, but this does be me private room... could ye please leave? |
| 27066 This ghost wouldn't be haunting you because it is a little boy you murdered and robbed, would it, hm? Hand over his bear... now. |
| 27067 I'll not leave until I've avenged the little halfling boy you murdered and robbed! |
| 27068 I'll go where I want, when I want. |
| 27069 All right, all right... I'm going. |
| 27070 You're... you're here to retrieve his... bear? I, uh... I think I have it around here somewhere. Yes... let me take a look... ah, yes. Here it is. |
| 27071 Give... give that to the little bloody bastard and tell him to stay away from me! |
| 27072 You don't deserve to live, you murdering fiend! |
| 27073 I'll spare your life... but don't let me catch you around here again! |
| 27074 You had better hope this is what the boy is looking for. |
| 27075 What?! How... how did you know about that?! Well... you'll not take ME alive! |
| 27076 All right, all right, I'll not upset ye. Just don't expect me t' spend all day blabbin' with ye. |
| 27077 You can try to kill me, fool! |
| 27078 Stein |
| 27079 As you place the ring in the pipe, it glows briefly. |
| 27080 Stein |
| 27081 You hear the rush of wind, and your hair stands on end. It seems that you've placed the items in the wrong order. |
| 27082 All right, all right... I'm going, I'm going... just let me collect me things here... |
| 27083 Oh, it is, it is... I'll just collect me things, and I'll be out o' yer hair... |
| 27084 Littleman the Stuffed Bear |
| 27085 Am-si's Key |
| 27086 Silver Pantaloons |
| 27087 Silver Pantaloons |
| 27088 Oh... it's you again... what is it ye want now? |
| 27089 You mentioned something about a ghost before. You've seen one, then, have you? |
| 27090 Your name is Llynis, right? |
| 27091 Who are you, again? |
| 27092 Nothing. I'll be on my way. |
| 27093 There are words scratched into the rust of the pipe. The handwriting looks like that of a child: Smell of dog Skin of lizard To find the staff Kill the wizard This is a truly a terrible verse. It must have been written by either a horrendous poet or a madman. |
| 27094 As you place the staff into the pipe, the water briefly takes on a greenish glow, and a strange halo surrounds all of the pipes. From the filthy water, a sword rises to hover before you. You grasp the hilt, and a scream echoes through the sewers. |
| 27095 Our... our little boy is at peace now. He appeared to us to say goodbye and told us that you had rescued his bear. I... I thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, you are very kind. |
| 27096 Yes, thank you so much. *sniff* It is... such a relief. Come, my husband... let us go home. |
| 27097 Ransom Note |
| 27098 There are words scratched into the rust of the pipe. The handwriting looks like that of a child: Vallah is no more But he has left a thing behind Give me a hand And I shall help you in return You wonder why someone would write such things on pipes. |
| 27099 Ransom Note |
| 27100 Oh... I am so happy that you have come back! |
| 27101 Oy now! What... what are you doin' sneakin' up on a fella in the middle o' the bleedin' night, aye? |
| 27102 That depends. What are you doing here? |
| 27103 That depends. What are you doing here? |
| 27104 You look like you're digging up that grave... what are you, some kind of graverobber? |
| 27105 Sorry... didn't mean to bother you. |
| 27106 Jus' doin' a little business, more like. Fools like to bury excellent valuables with the corpses. They won't miss 'em, ye know? If I don't dig 'em up, someone else will. |
| 27107 As you place the desiccated hand into the pipe, the fingers curl up into a fist. |
| 27108 But hey! This here is me own area. Ye want to be joinin' in on your own business, ye have t' be goin' elsewhere, aye? |
| 27109 Are you mad?! I'll not stand by and watch you dig up graves! |
| 27110 Listen, here... you either cough up some money, or I'll report you to the garrison. |
| 27111 There are words scratched into the rust of the pipe. The handwriting looks like that of a child: No sacrifice will do But the blood of a friend true. But guilt will leave its stain If you wish to have the blade. This verse sounds like the ravings of a madman. |
| 27112 All right, I'll leave you alone. |
| 27113 I'm just diggin' up a bit o' buried treasure... hey now. Ye gives me the willies, ye does. Ye're in league with the bleedin' garrison, ye are! |
| 27114 No, I'm not... but I'll not allow you to commit this sacrilege! |
| 27115 That's right! Prepare to meet justice! |
| 27116 Calm down, calm down. I've nothing against your activities. |
| 27117 Don't get excited; I'm leaving! |
| 27118 Well, away wi' ye, then. |
| 27119 Oh, is 'at so? Fellas! We gots ourselves trouble! |
| 27120 Well... all right. But make a move on, then, or ye'll be regrettin' it mighty soon. |
| 27121 Ho, citizen! On orders of the council, I accuse you of crimes against Amn. |
| 27122 Ah! Fellas! We gots ourselves trouble here! |
| 27123 I'm sure this is all a misunderstanding. Couldn't we work something out? |
| 27124 Come and die, little soldier! |
| 27125 Perhaps. Maybe a "fine" of 1,000 gp would suffice. If you get out of Athkatla, that is. |
| 27126 Gravediggers! You dare to disturb the rest of the dead on consecrated ground! You shall pay for this blasphemy! |
| 27127 We have a deal. Here is your "fine." |
| 27128 I haven't the funds for such a "fine." |
| 27129 That is a most unreasonable bribe. |
| 27130 Foul heathen! You disturb the rest of the dead! You shall pay for this evil blasphemy! |
| 27131 Then we shall have to do this the hard way. |
| 27132 This forgives your crimes but momentarily. I suggest that you leave the city. |
| 27133 You're on the wrong side of the river here, friend. This is Shadow Thief territory, and we can't have you committing monstrous crimes without our permission. |
| 27134 What are you doing? Why are you here? |
| 27135 We don't have time to discuss this now. |
| 27136 Take yourself out of the docks, and I won't have to take you out. You'll see the real meaning of murder. |
| 27137 No, there isn't. And if there were, I can tell you truly it would not be a creature such as you! |
| 27138 Your troubles are my troubles, Jaheira, and you will not face them alone! |
| 27139 I've lost too many important things, Jaheira, I'll not lose you as well. |
| 27140 I'll not let these bastard Harpers take you, Jaheira! I'll not let them beat me! |
| 27141 No reason. I was passing by and I... uh... thought I would look in on you. |
| 27142 <CHARNAME>, you magnificent bastard! I would kill you for following me if I were not so glad to see you! |
| 27143 I've had enough of your head games, Viconia. Leave me be! |
| 27144 I warned you to get out of our turf. Now you'll pay. To battle, men! |
| 27145 As you pour the blood of Quallo's friend, the carrion crawler, into the pipe, the water turns crimson. |
| 27146 There may be such a woman... it could be that the answer to your question is playing itself out right now. |
| 27147 Jaheira, I don't care that... what? Glad? I thought you wanted this? |
| 27148 Make up your mind! Is this your wish or not? I thought you would be mad. |
| 27149 I don't know what you're playing at, Viconia, but I'm not interested. |
| 27150 What has made you so taciturn... or is this merely a challenge to overcome? I shall figure you out soon enough, and you shall suffer for these petty slights. |
| 27151 A creature such as I, is it? Am I so overwhelming to your pretty sensibilities that you shrivel in my presence? So be it. I shall trouble you no longer. |
| 27152 Get over yourself, Viconia. Let's just continue on, shall we? |
| 27153 And what would you say if I told you my heart belonged to someone else? |
| 27154 I've no interest in discussing my heart. Let's move on. |
| 27155 I would say you are a liar, but if true, I would challenge the female you name. We drow are a selfish proprietary lot, but that is a discussion for another time. |
| 27156 I said enough with the wordplay. Let's continue in our travels. |
| 27157 The mettle of my heart is not for you to test, Viconia. Enough with your head games. |
| 27158 Irritated by Glass Dust |
| 27159 I touched a sensitive spot, have I? I shall remember its location and stroke it fondly in the future. *chuckle* Let us continue our travels, then. |
| 27160 *chuckle* All right, enough, enough. I lay here defeated by your double entendres. I cannot keep up. |
| 27161 Enough with the wordplay for today. Let us move on. |
| 27162 Aw, have I exhausted your endurance so soon? I must test your fortitude in more physical endeavors in future, yes? *chuckle* Let us continue our travels, then. |
| 27163 What friend? Who are you speaking to? |
| 27164 What blade do you speak of, old man? |
| 27165 Who are you, and how did you end up living in this sewer? |
| 27166 He loves affection. He loves to taste the flesh of the unwary. It is his one weakness. It has been his gift to me for these long years. |
| 27167 This horrible creature is your friend? |
| 27168 What blade did you speak of earlier? |
| 27169 I am not in a mood to converse with madmen of the sewers. Back to your slime pit, old fool! |
| 27170 I am not in a mood to converse with madmen of the sewers. Back to your slime pit, old fool! |
| 27171 Who are you and how did you end up living in this sewer? |
| 27172 The gleam in your eye! It belies your greed, your passion. I've found this blade, child! It is hidden most insidiously. A cruel jest has been played upon us all. My friend here knows this! |
| 27173 Where can I find this blade? |
| 27174 Who is this friend that you speak to? |
| 27175 I must take my leave of you, old man. |
| 27176 Who are you, and how did you end up living in this sewer? |
| 27177 Remember me when you feel a blade in your hand, child, for I may never see battle beneath the sun again. |
| 27178 I have been called Quallo in this place, but that name is truly another's. My name is sung both near and far. On the tongues of bards and the lips of fools. |
| 27179 You consider yourself to be famous? I have never heard of you. |
| 27180 Tell me of this blade that you mentioned. |
| 27181 Is it always about winning, <CHARNAME>? Am I the simple treasure at the end of your trek? Would a golden chalice serve just as well? Or a sword? |
| 27182 I must take my leave of you, old man. |
| 27183 If you are so headstrong as to actually wish to remain insipidly silent, then you may do so on your own. |
| 27184 Regardless, there are no Harpers here. None that act with sanction, anyway. They have made no effort to hide their motives from me; I was bait for you. |
| 27185 My one true companion, topsider. |
| 27186 I meant no friendship by them. Don't confuse my meaning. |
| 27187 I shall look for these clues and return. |
| 27188 I see. Tell me of this blade that you spoke of earlier. |
| 27189 I must take my leave of you, old man. |
| 27190 We may still be hunted. I must ask Dermin if I see him again. He told me to come here, so I need to know if his allegiance has changed or not. |
| 27191 What joke has been played upon us? |
| 27192 The One has left clues for you. Have you not found the clues? Where the topside filth drains, there are the clues. Return to me ere you follow the One's path, for there is much that you must learn. |
| 27193 I wanted to atone with the Harpers, but these are not they. I think revenge is more a factor here. The true Harpers have abandoned this garish place. |
| 27194 I shall look for these clues and return. |
| 27195 There is nothing else to do with this pipe. |
| 27196 I actually prefer the life of an adventurer. |
| 27197 Do you? And you think that such excitement will grip your senses forever? Is there no longing for peace within you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 27198 Other than the creature that bit you, there is nothing else of interest in this pool. |
| 27199 Who is the One? |
| 27200 I don't know where this mood of yours came from, Viconia, but stow it. |
| 27201 No... I enjoy the excitement of this life. Is that so hard to understand? |
| 27202 I suppose there is. What are you trying to say? |
| 27203 It seems that your head is vacuous indeed if you cannot even engage in simple conversation. So be it. |
| 27204 The two skeletons lie entwined in each others arms, an eternal embrace. One of the skeletons is slightly smaller than the other. On its bony finger, there is a golden ring. You could remove it if you wish to. |
| 27205 I understand that you are simpleminded and shortsighted. Is this your own particular trait, or one belonging to all surface-dwellers, I wonder? So be it. |
| 27206 You have met him already, child. Perhaps soon you shall know him well. Find the clues the One has left. There is danger in what you must undertake. |
| 27207 Blood of Quallo's Friend |
| 27208 But we are in the Harper Hold. They would let it be misused like this? |
| 27209 I don't think you even know what you're talking about. |
| 27210 Well, think about it, then. But do so silently... and let us continue our travels. |
| 27211 As you wish. |
| 27212 True. It's not worth it, then. |
| 27213 Hand |
| 27214 Isn't it? Think like that and a quiet path will cease to even be an option. Our lives will be well lived, but what bloody end is to come? It should be pondered. |
| 27215 "Passing by"? Athkatla? I see. Well, thank you for... thank you for following me, even if you are only "passing by." |
| 27216 Then you are glad to see me? Make up your mind. |
| 27217 I thought you would be mad if I followed. I thought you wanted this. |
| 27218 Perhaps, <CHARNAME>. I promise nothing. |
| 27219 There is a pool beneath this grate. The water is dark and slime-filled. You could reach into it if you wish to. |
| 27220 Then you do not know me well, <CHARNAME>. I am unlike you all. In some ways... if not all. |
| 27221 You kneel upon the grate and reach into the pool. You find something, but as you draw it out of the pool, you are bitten by some creature. Despite the pain, you draw an old, shriveled hand out of the pool. |
| 27222 You still cower before me, do you? Shall I have you lie at my feet someday and admit that you desired me all along? Something else for me to think upon... |
| 27223 Is there such dissension in the ranks that this place could be taken over? |
| 27224 Shaman's Staff |
| 27225 I have no desire to discuss this with you, Viconia. |
| 27226 Normally they would not allow it, but this place looks deserted by true Harpers since Galvarey's death. I'll wager it was too garish. |
| 27227 Hand |
| 27228 You remove the ring from the finger, and it tingles in your palm. There is obviously something special about the ring. |
| 27231 Certainly. If you wish to discuss nothing and have no conversation of any type... if you wish to remain an ignorant dalhar, I am only happy to oblige. |
| 27232 Notice the lack of spectral harpists? They were here at one time, and they would not leave their post unless it was no longer to be guarded. |
| 27233 There is nothing else that you can gain from these two poor souls. Whatever tale accompanied their demise in this pit may never be told. |
| 27234 This beast that you see, he is a monster to you, but to me he is a friend. Would you like to kiss him? |
| 27235 Then we are free of their meddling. |
| 27236 But it IS guarded, just not by Harpers. Our fighting is not done. |
| 27237 True... but if that were not the case, you would consider such a thing natural, yes? I have seen the custom borne out and cannot grasp the notion properly. |
| 27238 The Lover's Ring |
| 27239 The Lover's Ring |
| 27240 Those we kill in self-defense may look like Harper allies, even if they are not. We have no choice, and I will not feel guilty over this tangled web anymore. |
| 27241 Shaman's Staff |
| 27242 The eternal jest! The jest of those who believe that hiding equals safety. Find the One, and you may understand. |
| 27243 Who is the One that you speak of? |
| 27244 Where is the blade that you spoke of? |
| 27245 Let's get out of here, but take care: If their tactics are as simple as their motives, then you may have been allowed to pass. Our exit may be treacherous. |
| 27246 I must take my leave of you, old man. |
| 27247 Why? How do the drow treat marriage? |
| 27248 I am glad too. We will talk later, <CHARNAME>. |
| 27249 Tell me of this blade. |
| 27250 Then we will go together. Rejoin and... and walk with me. |
| 27251 You will have to wait here. I have no room for you at the moment. |
| 27252 I have nowhere left to go if not with you. You would leave me here with a likely ambush waiting outside? |
| 27253 I cut a swath across the world above ere I was cast into the pool to be hidden. When you have found the One, you may understand. |
| 27254 I must take my leave of you, old man. |
| 27255 I am sorry, Jaheira. I have to abandon you here. |
| 27256 Of course not! What was I thinking? I am glad to have you here... with me. |
| 27257 Then... then this is goodbye. For all your words, they were right. Goodbye, <CHARNAME>. I will not be seeing you again. |
| 27258 Have you found the clues, child, or must this place remain a tomb forever? |
| 27259 I have found your clues, old man. |
| 27260 I have found nothing. Where should I look? |
| 27261 Is... is this an inconvenient time for us to speak? |
| 27262 KREEEaaaghhh! Here you come to domain of Crragtail! You come for why?! Speak or fall on blades! |
| 27263 You are a cold and vicious woman, Viconia. |
| 27264 You misunderstand. To hesitate would have brought displeasure from Lolth. Such is the drow way. |
| 27265 Ask what you will of me about the keys, and I shall give you what answers you are worthy of. Some questions I may not answer. |
| 27266 That sounds like an excuse. |
| 27267 So you are saying that their deaths were a result of drow culture. |
| 27268 Where the topside filth drains, there are the clues. Return to me ere you follow the One's path, for there is much that you must learn. |
| 27269 If you wish to be so superficial and limited in the scope of your understanding, that is your prerogative, <CHARNAME>. |
| 27270 Can you tell me about this ring? |
| 27271 Maybe. Let's keep moving, shall we? |
| 27272 Well put, <CHARNAME>. I am not so insipid as not to realize that things are different here on the surface, however. |
| 27273 Of course. The road ahead must always be carefully navigated with all due attention. |
| 27274 It... it makes a lot of sense to me. If you had only acted like everyone said, if you had just been the murderous bastard you were born to be... |
| 27275 I told you I was not interested, Viconia, and I meant it. |
| 27276 What manner of creature are you? I do not often see kobolds that speak. |
| 27277 It doesn't matter why I have come! You will die regardless! |
| 27278 A voice has bid me to quest in your... great land. I am not here to hurt you. |
| 27279 You not know the glory of Crragtail! You stupid <PRO_RACE> of above, where sun causes rot and dryout! Down here, all is moist and soft, and good throne! |
| 27280 My apologies, great... uh... Crragtail. I did not know this was your realm. |
| 27281 Oh, this is just too ridiculous. You are lord of the sewer? |
| 27282 Talking or not, you are a plague beneath the city, and I am here to cure. |
| 27283 Who... who are you? What has happened to me? |
| 27284 Do you not know me? We have spoken before. |
| 27285 So you challenge might of Crragtail! You foolish! We rule beneath and above. You just not know of it yet! Follow and fight! |
| 27286 How did you get down here? |
| 27287 I don't care. Begone from my sight, old man. |
| 27288 Rrraagh! |
| 27289 Grrraaahhgh! Dieeessss! |
| 27290 Excuse me. I haven't the time to speak with you at present. |
| 27291 I remember you faintly. It was not me that you spoke with. It was the thing... the person... I don't know! That which compelled me was the thing that spoke to you. |
| 27292 Someone had dominated or charmed you? |
| 27293 You not know much! Stupid from above! We hear lot talk of underdark, so we take over! This under and this dark! Now, say what you want or be fodder in stink-bed! You don't want be in stink-bed! |
| 27294 This is very interesting, but I must be going. |
| 27295 It was not me that walked here. It was the thing... the person... I don't know! That which controlled me has brought me here. It is hard to remember. Like an old dream. |
| 27296 Rrrnooo... |
| 27297 Peeeyewww... rrrr... |
| 27298 You were brought here under domination? |
| 27299 No, I wouldn't want that at all. I am only here looking for an item. A staff. |
| 27300 I do not tolerate threats from creatures that live in filth! |
| 27301 There's no need for threats like that. I am not here to harm you. |
| 27302 This is very interesting, but I must be going. |
| 27303 You not hurt us? I think you lie! Surface come to hunt and smack with sword and club! We go into light, and hero put smack down! Why believe? WHY?! |
| 27304 RRAGH! |
| 27305 YETHGGH! |
| 27306 It is a dream... how long have I been in this state? |
| 27307 Because I will pay well for what I have come for. It is an enchanted staff. |
| 27308 You have no choice! I will come and go as I please, and you can do nothing! |
| 27309 Staff? You want Stick of Many Foods?! You not get! You come to steal greatest treasure of Crragtail empire! Better than Throne of Comfy, or Pipe That Smell Not Quite So Much! |
| 27310 I don't think that it was human... its conscience was too foreign. I can't remember... Gods! How long have I been here? What has happened to my family? |
| 27311 RRaagh! Rrget yourr traitorrrr! |
| 27312 Grrr! |
| 27313 Grrryipyap! |
| 27314 So you have it then! I will take it from you and get out of this pathetic place! |
| 27315 Perhaps we can come to some sort of agreement? I will pay, oh, 100 gold. |
| 27316 Now, now, I will compensate you. Is 500 gold enough to satisfy? |
| 27317 That you try to buy my glory show you stupid! Stick of Many Foods keep us fed and rolling in berry, and it keep stupid follower from kill Crragtail. |
| 27318 I do not wish to diminish the glory of your rule, but how does 2,000 gold sound? |
| 27319 I will not leave without it. Please, I need it desperately. |
| 27320 Grrrr... rrwha? |
| 27321 No, ah, you not get glory, glory of our clan! Clan mean you guys! We get stupids from surface! We keep Stick! We rule the under and dark! You die! |
| 27322 You think we just give Stick of Many Foods? Stick of Many Foods feed all our realm till we sick on berry! Bounty also keep stupid follower from kill Crragtail. |
| 27323 Insult that you try to buy great stick! You insult all us and... |
| 27324 Ehh... how much you say? What wa' dat? |
| 27325 2,000 gold for the glory of your realm. |
| 27326 I was taunting you. I offer nothing! You live in a fools realm! |
| 27327 Yeah, glory, whateverrrr. Stick yours. Have funs above. |
| 27328 Reaagh... wha?! |
| 27329 Huh? |
| 27330 We live in sewer, stupids! Stinky not funs! You sit and have realm. Stupid number three new leader. I go beaches and golds. Bye bye. |
| 27331 Wha... RRRAAAGHHH! |
| 27332 Yes, I intend to have power for myself. |
| 27333 I've no interest in lording over others, Viconia. |
| 27334 I do not wish to discuss this with you. |
| 27335 You wish to have power, do you? I... I think... |
| 27336 ...I think it is disgusting that a lowly male would desire to rise so far past his place. You are nothing like Shar or Lolth! |
| 27337 Ah, I see. As I thought, you are yet the reticent coward. You remind me of the lowly drow males, crawling along the ground on your belly with eyes downcast. |
| 27338 The undersea of Laratrak, for example, defies words. To sail across takes two days luent to linoin... east to west... three days trezen to werneth... north to south. |
| 27339 Massive stalactites overhead shimmer from the bloodless pallor of lichen... and as you sail, a bleak dead world flows beneath, the playground of blind fish and fallen deities. |
| 27340 I remember also the crystal spires of Ustlat, a pinnacle of architecture. Living crystal pruned and gardened with gems and a master jeweler's care, it spoke of defiance. |
| 27341 But these images pale before memories of the Spider Queen and the worship I began so young. Beauty is difficult to find in the blood that I let flow in her name. |
| 27342 I thought you enjoyed killing when you worshipped Lolth. |
| 27343 That sounds terrible. |
| 27344 An interesting tale, but time runs short. Let us continue our travels. |
| 27345 Do not be a wael... a fool. I enjoyed it well enough; I killed for sport and necessity, but I took no pleasure in sacrifice solely to satiate her endless desire. |
| 27346 And I was but a child when I began. I was taken from my mother, brought to the temple, and attended to by the priestesses who adorned me with the black robes. |
| 27347 They took me to the orlenggin... the sacrificial altar... where a surfacer screamed in agony, and for the pleasure of Lolth, I was given a spider dagger to end his life. |
| 27348 This human was but a kul'gobuss to me, but it felt wrong. He was bare and chained... helpless. His tears ran freely as he begged for mercy in his unfamiliar tongue. |
| 27349 He screamed as the blade entered, and spat blood when I punctured his lungs. To the delight of the matron mothers, I pulled his heart out still beating. |
| 27350 There were... many sacrifices, weren't there? |
| 27351 That sounds disgusting and evil. I can't believe you took part in such rituals. |
| 27352 I can see why such ugliness might color your memories of the Underdark. |
| 27353 I sacrificed many, drow and surfacer both. The ichor flowed freely to fill Lolth's insatiable rage... The caverns are red in my mind, their beauty a bloodied and callous joke. |
| 27354 It is the drow way. But that is... behind me now. Let us continue our travels, <CHARNAME>. |
| 27355 My heart is filled with bile at these memories, at any rate. Yes... yes, do let us move on. |
| 27356 He... he was no mere male! Is it so difficult for you to believe that I might have cared for another once?! |
| 27357 Yes. Yes, he saved me. I... I am sorry, <CHARNAME>, I do not wish to continue discussing Valas. Excuse me. |
| 27358 Give me a break, Viconia. You care for no one. |
| 27359 It surprises me, that is all. It seems contrary to what you have said about the drow before. |
| 27360 They are the last tears of mine you shall ever see, you heartless bastard! Oloth plynn dos! |
| 27361 Our... our relationship was unusual, yes... |
| 27362 ...I... I am sorry, <CHARNAME>. I do not wish to discuss Valas any further. Excuse me. |
| 27363 There are normally no... "brothers," although some males are favored more than others. Most simply exist to serve Queen and House, but this is... not always the case. |
| 27364 The whole arrangement sounds horrible and devoid of caring. How the drow survive is beyond me. |
| 27365 Is there nothing to be found amongst the drow, then, but cruelty and evil? |
| 27366 You mentioned your brother before... he was a special case? |
| 27367 Speak your mind, Jaheira. I will make time. |
| 27368 I see. I should think it bad that you have said so now. We have been traveling together long, and... and you seemed responsive enough. Have I been wrong? |
| 27369 These little chats never go well, Jaheira, regardless of the time. |
| 27370 Very wrong. Now, will you please be quiet? |
| 27371 I'm sorry, it's just the stress of travel. Speak your mind. |
| 27372 I am sorry if this seems odd, but I wanted to thank you. You did not have to follow me to the Harper Hold. In fact, I seem to recall telling you not to. |
| 27373 Did you not want me to, or is it that you just thought I wouldn't? |
| 27374 And I am glad for it! The shame of Dermin's accusation colored my own sight. He is the one that has changed. You would have been a better guide... |
| 27375 I did not trust that Dermin, and your letter did nothing to ease my mind. |
| 27376 I see. Then why did you come? Was I merely a lost mule? I... I am glad this has come to light. It stops me from... I shall be quiet, most certainly. |
| 27377 I... I am sorry, <CHARNAME>. You are right; it is not fair to you. You have proven reliable, and yet I was afraid... of what I felt, and whom I felt it for. |
| 27378 You have proven master of your path, and as... as much as I wish to walk it with you, there is much unfinished business that has been eating away at my will. |
| 27379 Khalid's death, my need to move on, these Harpers that have forced my own treacheryâ€â€and in the background is who and what you are: a spawn of murder and lies. |
| 27380 So I will fear no more. I... I value your company, <CHARNAME>. After all we have been through, I must know: Do you value my company as well? |
| 27381 Very much so, Jaheira. You are an integral part of the party. |
| 27382 Jaheira, your loss would be a tragedy. I need you here... with me. |
| 27383 ...of the party? So, business alone has kept you with me. Very well... Best I know now, before... Well, that is quite enough of that. Let's go, shall we? |
| 27384 But you have left behind the evil that your very nature is built upon. If you can do that, proving to be the caring person you are, then why do I fear? |
| 27385 Those are nice words, <CHARNAME>, and I am not so fearful to hear them anymore. I am not so sure how to act upon them, but knowing you feel as I do is a start. |
| 27386 I won't delay us any longer for now. We will speak again on this, in better spirits, I hope. |
| 27387 Ahh! The dawning of our day. Though it is very rarely that we seem to match our sleep cycle to the day or night. |
| 27388 We take our rest where we can. It is a necessity sometimes. |
| 27389 We don't seem to see the daylight all that often. I am sorry about that. |
| 27390 If we were that predictable, we would be easy targets for our enemies. |
| 27391 Oh, I don't dispute that, and neither was I criticizing, but I wouldn't mind waking to the sunrise a little more often. |
| 27392 Sunrises are but one of, oh, at least two things worth waking to I could think of. |
| 27393 If it would make you happier, then I will see what I can do. |
| 27394 Do not trouble yourself over it. I was merely saying I enjoy it, not that we should order our lives around it. It is beautiful, but I know it is there. |
| 27395 Perhaps, though I intend no malice. I would laugh at you as I laugh at myself, and... hopefully I will come to know you that well. |
| 27396 Such talk! Have you found some poor apprentice bard to draft you lines, or are you practicing on the maidens we meet? |
| 27397 I was not suggesting that we make a habit of bedding down before dusk each and every night. There is nature and beauty to see in the dark as well. |
| 27398 Besides, do I strike you as a person that would adjust well to such a strict timeline? |
| 27399 Not before I suffered greatly. Your wit would exact payment, I am sure. |
| 27400 No need to. No sunrise could compare with your beauty in the moonlight. |
| 27401 Oh, you sting my heart when you say such things. Hehe. How cruel you are. |
| 27402 I... I meant no offense, Jaheira. I thought you might be flattered. |
| 27403 What... no, I meant... I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>, I was just having fun. I was flattered, but you know I am not inclined to such talk. I lost my wide eyes years ago. |
| 27404 Your words were pleasing; do not think otherwise. Eh, perhaps we should just get moving for now. |
| 27405 Stop! |
| 27406 Do you see him? Ready yourself. |
| 27407 Dermin! I would speak at you! |
| 27408 As sharp-eyed as ever, though your choice in companions has not improved. Is your treachery not enough that you must consort with a killer? I thought you better than |
| 27409 Shut up! I said I would speak AT you! This matter is finished! I will not acknowledge this again! If you press it, I will be forced to deal with you! |
| 27410 As you were "forced" to deal with the Harpers that died in Athkatla? |
| 27411 Yes, actually, and you well know it! Galvarey was no more a Harper than a treant. His actions betrayed him, and all those that followed him! |
| 27412 The garish Hold, his political agendaâ€â€he was merely using the weight of the Harper name to promote himself. Tell me: What did he offer you? |
| 27413 You don't know what you are saying, Jaheira. Your association with this <CHARNAME> has poisoned your judgment. |
| 27414 Then I am better for it. Call me traitor, but I have followed the spirit of the Harpers. You are the traitor, and if the events were known, others would see! |
| 27415 Ah, but the events are not known. What is accepted is that you have killed your brethren and taken up with a known murderer. There is no evidence existing to the contrary. |
| 27416 Of course not. Despite the ambushes, you will still be able to claim the moral high ground for your actions. What happened to you, Dermin? I do not know you. |
| 27417 One grows weary. We would have done good works, Jaheira, just from a more profitable perspective. |
| 27418 At the cost of the innocents. That is always the way. |
| 27419 Innocent?! Is that what you call <CHARNAME>? But <PRO_HESHE> is a child of Bhaal! Whether <PRO_HISHER> nature is good or bad, it will certainly be disruptive! |
| 27420 It certainly disrupted you. The innocents also include Harpers that have died thinking they were fighting for the right cause. Galvarey's cause. Your cause. |
| 27421 Regrettable losses. |
| 27422 As was yours, though I suspect you have been gone for years. |
| 27423 Ah, your wit is still the most dangerous trait about you, Jaheira. I told you to cultivate it. Little did I know I would be on the receiving end one day. |
| 27424 Save it, Dermin. I have no more guilt about facing you or any other sent on this fool's crusade. You are the betrayers, not I. I know this in my heart. |
| 27425 You'll pardon me if I have a look for myself! |
| 27426 I did not wish to do this. I did not. We are in the right, <CHARNAME>, but why does it still hurt? |
| 27427 The right thing is not always the easiest. Actually, it's usually the bloody hard bit. |
| 27428 People do not always want to see reason. You do what you can... |
| 27429 You know the answers to such things better than me. I'll spare you my clichés. |
| 27430 Heh, you and your jokes make me smile far too often, even when I do not want to. People will think I am getting soft. |
| 27431 Yes, but you're always quick with a backhand to set them right. |
| 27432 Not a chance. Hey, why didn't I get to say something to him? I wanted to help. |
| 27433 Haha! Shush you! I'm supposed to be feeling bad about this whole thing. Oh, let's just get moving. |
| 27434 *snicker* |
| 27435 I've sat through all of your little plots and plans. The least you can do is toss me a bone now and then. Yeesh, take <PRO_HISHER> thunder for one conversation and <PRO_HESHE> gets all touchy. |
| 27436 Let's get out of here. We've still got things to do. |
| 27437 Yes, yes, you do what you can, not always what you want. The Big Little Book of Alaundo, right? Insightful. |
| 27438 I am sorry, <CHARNAME>, I shouldn't be taking my anger out on you. Let's just get moving. I'll be all right in a while. |
| 27439 Heh, a wise move. I will not have this situation made trite. I may be in a foul mood for a while, you understand? Yes, I think you do. Thank you. |
| 27440 What?! What is it you want? |
| 27441 All I did was look your way, Jaheira. Are you all right? |
| 27442 Nothing, though morale is going to slip if you keep glaring at people. |
| 27443 Well, you're in a good mood. It's about that fight with Dermin, isn't it? |
| 27444 Fine. I'm just fine. |
| 27445 Well? |
| 27446 W-well what? You said you were fine. |
| 27447 Oh no. I'm not going to bait this mood any more than I have to. It's dangerous. |
| 27448 Funny. Can we just get going? I'm fine. Just fine. |
| 27449 Very good, you've mastered the obvious. Now consult your navel about what to do next. |
| 27450 I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. It's just... I am so mad, and I don't know how to get it out. It's because... it's because... |
| 27451 That's what I said but I meant... I'm sorry, I shouldn't need to play these games. I'm just so mad, and I don't know how to get it out. |
| 27452 Isn't that ridiculous? The bastard was putting people in danger for nothing, and I feel guilty for ending it! |
| 27453 Don't belittle my mood! I... no... no, I'm sorry. I don't usually fall into these kinds of games. I'm just so mad, and I don't know how to get it out. |
| 27454 I know; I was just not prepared for this. I am not used to mourning my enemies. It's not much easier than mourning friends, and I have done enough of that. |
| 27455 He put you in the position of opposing a mentor. It couldn't help but trouble you. |
| 27456 I know you did right. I hope that my view is worth something to you. |
| 27457 I don't know what to say, Jaheira. What do you need me to say? |
| 27458 It is, believe me. It means a lot. I am sorry I am not better company. When this is over, we should... well, I don't want to put a cloud over the future. |
| 27459 I will need a bit of space for now. Damn, why is this so hard? Remove the bad seeds and walk into the sunset; that's how it's supposed to go. Nice and clean. |
| 27460 I need you to say... what? I don't know either. I'm sorry, this is not fair to you at all. |
| 27461 Ugh, it is about time we rested. I have seen enough waking hours, thank you very much. |
| 27462 That was her rule. As with every rule, there are exceptions. |
| 27463 My brother, Valas, was an exception to the standard drow male. He was my childhood friend... and perhaps my only friend, after all is said. |
| 27464 As a boy, he would set cantrips about the royal hall, giggling hysterically when a hapless Handmaiden would stumble on a colossal sulfur-stink glamor. |
| 27465 He... watched over me and protected me, and I ensured that the worst of the abuses that befell males did not strike him. |
| 27466 In the end... he saved my life. He... prevented my sacrifice and killed our mother, giving me the opportunity to flee. |
| 27467 What happened to him, then? |
| 27468 A pretty story, Viconia, but we really should continue our travels. |
| 27469 It figures that you manipulated men into doing your bidding even then. |
| 27470 He... no longer exists. <CHARNAME>... I am cold and tired and no longer in the mood to speak. Excuse me. |
| 27471 As you wish, <CHARNAME>. |
| 27472 I did not manipulate him, <CHARNAME>. We did not have a "sibling bond" or even love, but we amused and respected each other. I did not think of him as solely a male. |
| 27473 sir |
| 27474 *sigh* Let us... just walk for a while in silence, <CHARNAME>. I am no longer in the mood to talk. |
| 27475 ma'am |
| 27476 girl |
| 27477 boy |
| 27478 brother |
| 27479 sister |
| 27480 Lady |
| 27481 Lord |
| 27482 male |
| 27483 female |
| 27484 he |
| 27485 she |
| 27486 his |
| 27487 her |
| 27488 him |
| 27489 man |
| 27490 woman |
| 27491 I have been looking for someone of your particular talents and abilities. You have a reputation, and I wish to see if it holds true. |
| 27492 Now, you're likely thinking: Why not just eliminate him? Yes, yes, I suppose I could. |
| 27493 So... where was I? Oh, yes. Your part in this. I would like you to go to Mae'Var and join his guild. |
| 27494 One word about size and you can forget it! |
| 27495 Sometimes your self-righteous sense of judgment makes me ill to my stomach, <CHARNAME>. |
| 27496 Yes... so am I. But... that does not mean she will never do so. *sigh* Come, <CHARNAME>... the road beckons. |
| 27497 We'll deal with that when it happens. |
| 27498 Hmph. I'll not give you the pleasure. If you will not offer me any comfort, then be on your way, <CHARNAME>. I will stay here by myself if need be. |
| 27499 All right, fine, I'll stay for a moment. By the gods, Viconia... you're shaking! What is the matter? |
| 27500 Stay by yourself, then, for all I care. |
| 27501 Then begone, rath'arg... and leave me alone to my misery. |
| 27502 She will answer any summons simply to make a vainglorious entrance and impress the gathered. I have seen her power, what she does to those who fall from grace. |
| 27503 **REMOVED** |
| 27504 I... I dream of Valas sometimes, and I try to speak to him in my dreams. But he is only a monster now, and I scream when his horrid spider legs caress me... |
| 27505 I think... what can Lolth do to me if she has done this to Valas? What worse torments await me when she finally decides to come?! |
| 27506 <CHARNAME>, I am frightened to my very core! Do not leave me alone! Stay with me this night. I... I need to feel your flesh next to mine, to embrace your strength... |
| 27507 It will mean... it will mean nothing. Lolth's reach is far... and I fear there is no escaping it... |
| 27508 What makes you say that? |
| 27509 Jaheira, your frown does not do your face justice. Try to be cheerful. |
| 27510 I was not aware that morale was so low. What can I do to make you happy? |
| 27511 If you would stop snapping at me, we could get the rest you want. |
| 27512 I can think of nothing less appealing. |
| 27513 I do not wish to be cheerful; I wish to be miserable, hating everything that has led to what we are. |
| 27514 If I knew what was wrong, I could help. |
| 27515 Is this a real problem or one that you have manufactured for us? |
| 27516 I am not interested in laying with you, Viconia. |
| 27517 All right... I will stay with you, if that is what you wish. |
| 27518 Let me partake of you, <CHARNAME>, drink of your courage this night. See what a drow female may offer: I shall inflame your passions, your senses... Stay with me. |
| 27519 I do not want to be happy. I want to be angry and not feel bad about it. |
| 27520 If I knew what was wrong, I could help. |
| 27521 Is this a real problem or one that you have manufactured for us? |
| 27522 I came here to comfort you, not to spend the night. I shall sleep by myself! |
| 27523 Yes, there it is. Work up your wrath and get mad at me. Be unreasonable, so I can be angry for a reason. Do it! Act as you should! |
| 27524 How could I refuse your wish? |
| 27525 Do not deny me this, <CHARNAME>... I offer to you all the pleasures that a drow woman may bestow if you but hold me this night. |
| 27526 I... do not doubt your ability, Viconia. And you are beautiful. But not like this, not in this manner... |
| 27527 Very well, Viconia... I shall stay with you this night if that is what you wish. |
| 27528 Stop being so damned reasonable. Get mad and say you won't stand for it. Act like you should! |
| 27529 Viconia... not like this. Not because you are desperate... it isn't right. |
| 27530 I do. Come to my arms out of view of prying eyes... place your hand against my darkly trembling heart, and I will show you the boundaries of passion as only I can... |
| 27531 Do not deny me, <CHARNAME>... and do not deny yourself. |
| 27532 No, Viconia, even though I might wish to, I cannot. |
| 27533 Very well, Viconia. If you wish it to be, then I shall stay. |
| 27534 My mother scrambled to make sacrifices of wealth and servants to appease Lolth, but the goddess would have none of it. |
| 27535 Jaheira, calm yourself. This makes no sense. |
| 27536 You are doing a fine job of tormenting yourself. Why ask me to help? |
| 27537 My mother wished me to recant, to prostate myself before the Spider Queen and beg forgiveness. She was desperate that I do so, in fact. |
| 27538 Because you are supposed to! Damn it! If you would have just acted like you were supposed to, like everyone said you would... |
| 27539 None of this would have happened if you had accepted your evil heritage. I would not have sided with you. I would not have fought for you. I would not have... |
| 27540 What if they were the wrong ones? I have turned this over and over in my mind, and the dead have piled up, and I have still gone forward. |
| 27541 I did not force you to do anything. You have made your own choices. |
| 27542 Jaheira? Making you wrong will not change anything. |
| 27543 It was the ultimate act of defiance for a drow male, and Lolth did what she does to all males who defy her. |
| 27544 She abandoned me, left me completely without power. I had no brother, no power, and House DeVir was, as far as I knew, falling. |
| 27545 You there! Find an inn or leave the city! I'll have no vagrants sleeping on the streets! |
| 27546 Come, my children! Fear the power of Talos! Join us in reverent worship to avoid the disasters that are sure to strike us down in the days to come! |
| 27547 I thought Talos was an evil god... how is it that he is openly worshipped here? |
| 27548 I have heard a bit of Talos... tell me more. |
| 27549 I am interested in worshipping no one, priest. |
| 27550 Excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 27551 Evil? Is a hurricane evil as it thunders across the coasts with its wind? The power of destruction lies in all men's hands. We must respect its potency. |
| 27552 If I were wrong, at least the dead would have died for just reasons. So many... that are dead and we are the cause. How can all those people have been wrong? |
| 27553 Talos is only as vindictive as nature itself. He heralds destruction! Kneel to him so that you will not be murdered by his judgment! |
| 27554 I am not interested in worshipping any deities at the moment, thank you. |
| 27555 I may enter the church at any time, yes? |
| 27556 Excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 27557 If that is your wish, heretic, then I cannot promise your protection. O bend your knees and pray, fool, that Talos will spare you on the day of judgment! |
| 27558 Fool! You must fear Talos! You must obey him! Or surely shall you be destroyed by the power of his wrath! |
| 27559 The church of Talos is open to all believers, as well as those who seek protection from the wrath of the Destroyer. Enter with your eyes downcast, supplicant. |
| 27560 Greetings, supplicant! Have you come to the district to enter our church and revel in the presence of the most holy Lathander? |
| 27561 They simply were. You know in your heart that you are right in this. |
| 27562 Numbers do not make it right. We are alone, but we are correct. |
| 27563 I would be interested in knowing more about this Lathander. |
| 27564 I have heard that Lathander is a young and vain god... why would you grant him obeisance? |
| 27565 No, I am not interested in worshipping anyone. |
| 27566 Excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 27567 Lathander may be prone to the vagaries of youth, but he has other gifts. To serve the Morninglord is to strive for vitality and joy... what is wrong with that? |
| 27568 Our Morninglord charges us to foster hope and creativity. Pride is eschewed, and the cycle of rebirth and renewal is our most sacred tenet. |
| 27569 Because they were idiots that knew no better. Stupidity killed them. |
| 27570 Sounds like a load of crock to me. |
| 27571 That sounds like a worthy tenet. |
| 27572 The church can be entered anytime, correct? |
| 27573 Bah! What does the heart know? It makes you do foolish things for no cause. It makes you forget the dead before you should. It makes you fall in... |
| 27574 Excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 27575 As you wish, my <LADYLORD>. I can only encourage beings to strive; I cannot command. |
| 27576 As you wish. The Temple of Lathander is open to all, and the Morninglord is most patient. |
| 27577 You may think as you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Lathander encourages optimism... by witnessing the glory of his worship, you may realize the error of your ways. |
| 27578 It most certainly is, supplicant. Enter our most sacred temple, and bask in the glory of the god of dawns... experience his benevolence for yourself. |
| 27579 It... makes you do things that wreak havoc on your mind. I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>, you should not have to hear this. You have been good and true. |
| 27580 You certainly may. It is most glorious in the early dawn, but the wealth and raiment of Lathander is a glory to behold at any hour. |
| 27581 I should be happy, but I am not. Even with all we have done to make things right, I am still troubled. |
| 27582 Time heals all wounds. Unless, of course, they get infected. |
| 27583 I can't wait forever. I do what I can, but it is difficult. |
| 27584 Funny. I'm just not in a mood for laughing. Let's just get some rest. |
| 27585 Everyone is wrong except the failed Harper and the pariah born evil. That's rich. |
| 27586 Greetings to you, my <LADYLORD>. May Helm watch over you and guide you through your times of peril. Come and receive his guidance within the temple. |
| 27587 I have heard it said that Helm is a stern and cold deity. Tell me more of him. |
| 27588 I am not interested in worshipping anyone, priest. |
| 27589 Excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 27590 Many scorn Helm for his actions during the Godswar, but he only fulfilled his duty. Helm is a stern disciplinarian, not heartless. |
| 27591 He is the god of guardians, the Vigilant Watcher. Duty and trust can never be betrayed. You would know Helm's beneficence if his gaze fell on you. |
| 27592 Come inside the temple, friend, and see for yourself the worthiness of a life devoted to protection and perseverance. |
| 27593 We may go into the temple at any time, yes? |
| 27594 I am interested in worshipping no deity, priest. |
| 27595 Excuse me, I'll be on my way. |
| 27596 There may come a day when you desire the Vigilant One's aid in preserving your life or that of another. Pray that he comes to your side then. |
| 27597 As you wish, supplicant. The Watcher's blessing upon you. |
| 27598 I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>. I know we are in the right and that you are not the creature of chaos they claim. I am not sure why I feel this way. |
| 27599 The church is always open and a place of refuge for the weary and endangered. Helm gathers all and will not break their trust. Enter and see. |
| 27600 I know, and I need your company. I am just not comfortable with needing it. Let's get some rest for now. I'll try to straighten this out. |
| 27601 And arrogance will kill you. They thought they were right, and we think we are right. Is there so much of a difference? |
| 27602 I... I know why I am upset, but I just can't seem to shake it. I am angry with that dungweasel Dermin for... for making me feel guilty for killing him! |
| 27603 You needn't keep a distance between us. I am in less of a mood now. |
| 27604 Are you? I did not want to risk setting you off once more. |
| 27605 I was thinking of other things at the moment, but I am glad you feel better. |
| 27606 Should I tailor my mood to yours? You have proven unresponsive in the past. |
| 27607 I do not blame you. Such trouble I have been. Simple feelings made more difficult by the strangest things. I hope I have not harmed your view of me. |
| 27608 It has been difficult, but... but I would not trade your company for anyone's. |
| 27609 You have questioned our relationship at every step, even as you pursued it. |
| 27610 I am here to pay homage to Yondalla, the Blessed One. There be no church here for us wee folk, but I take comfort in the presence of others of faith. |
| 27611 Yes, I shouldn't expect a warm reaction after what I have been like. Simple feelings complicated beyond recognition. I hope I have not soured your view of me. |
| 27612 I suppose I deserve your suspicion and scorn, but I hope I have not soured you completely. |
| 27613 What a relief that this cult has disappeared from Athkatla. One wonders what would have happened if it remained. Tsk. |
| 27614 The Temple District is a fine and peaceful place. Often I like to just come here to contemplate. |
| 27615 It has been difficult, but... but I would not trade your company for anyone's. |
| 27616 You have questioned our relationship at every step, even as you pursued it. |
| 27617 It has been difficult, but... but I would not trade your company for anyone's. |
| 27618 You have questioned our relationship at every step, even as you pursued it. |
| 27619 This is a place of the peaceful and divine... not for the likes of you. Begone from here! |
| 27620 I do so worry what has become of the missing priests... there are so many who have disappeared it is a terrible concern! |
| 27621 I do not trust these preachers... what is this Unseeing Eye? It sounds horrid... and they have all plucked out their own eyes! |
| 27622 Greetings, little sister. Are you here to pay homage to Yondalla? |
| 27623 It must have been confusing for you, and I cannot say how sorry I am. You have shown the patience of a saint, despite your detractors and my... fluctuations. |
| 27624 I pay homage to all our gods, but I serve only Arvoreen. One day, I hope to be foremost among his holy swords. |
| 27625 Human Flesh |
| 27626 Know that I care for you, even if I do not show it well. If this meant nothing, it would have been easy to deal with. Small consolation, I know. |
| 27627 Greetings to you, father of the forest. I trust the gods of nature have been smiling upon you? |
| 27628 Montaron's Body |
| 27629 Montaron's Body |
| 27630 Very small. I will not continue like this. My own feelings must take precedence. |
| 27631 Not so small. Does this mean you are comfortable with me? |
| 27632 You do not know how glad I am. I worried I had ruined what we... You are my stability, you know? Perhaps it doesn't always seem like it, but you are. |
| 27633 Sometimes I feel as if the gods are testing me, little one... but overall, yes, they watch over me most kindly. |
| 27634 Oh, I do so hope that Lathander will smile on my new business contract. I cannot afford to lose another one! |
| 27635 It just isn't fair... I donate coin to Lathander for prosperity and Helm for protection... and then the Talassans come and burn down my shop! |
| 27636 A merchant must cover all his bases and be wary to offend no god... it is a most trying existence! |
| 27637 Oooh, it is a terrible, awful thing. The Morninglord priest I gave my money to has gone and disappeared! Now they won't bless my new shop! |
| 27638 I saw a priest I once knew preaching on the corner for that eyeless god. He didn't even recognize me! Isn't the same person, I say! |
| 27639 I see. I cannot blame you. I have waited too long and strained too many ties. Perhaps it is for the best. Perhaps. |
| 27640 Things are much better now that the cult is all gone. People are coming back to the shop. You had something to do with that, didn't you? |
| 27641 I do so hope my donation to the Watcher will not go unheeded! My shop has been robbed twice this month already! |
| 27642 I am trying. You have shown such caring so far. I have taken you for granted as someone that would always be here, even as I questioned our very friendship. |
| 27643 If you've enough spare coin to waste on gods rather than extra guards, you no doubt deserve to be trimmed of at least a little of your fat, merchant. |
| 27644 I will not make such a mistake again. Of this I am sure. |
| 27645 Oh! Lord Keldorn! It is good to see you. I don't think I have ever seen you before out of Helm's church, actually... |
| 27646 Duty and need takes me often away from the simple service and contemplation of the Vigilant One, good sir. |
| 27647 We should get moving. Walk with me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 27648 One should always give coppers to Talos, or it is certain he will destroy us all with great and horrid disasters! |
| 27649 I have... had a realization. I have been walking with my eyes downcast for so long I had forgotten the beauty of the land. Aye, all we have seen... I had thought never to feel the warmth of nature again. |
| 27650 One should always give coppers to Helm because he is the one true guardian that watches over us all! |
| 27651 One should always give coppers to Lathander because he grants prosperity to the faithful! |
| 27652 The priests and priestesses are all disappearing! Oooh, it is Talos visiting disaster on us, surely! I better go and donate now... |
| 27653 Those horrid eyeless priests are everywhere! Oooh, if this Unseeing god person is true, I've been wasting my coin all along! |
| 27654 You are such a good person to have gotten rid of that false god-thing! Long live the true gods! |
| 27655 Oooh, the Talassan priest said that the Stormbringer has not had enough donations this month! It is doom for us all for sure! |
| 27656 You make me appreciate such things. I never appreciated a simple forest before you. |
| 27657 Do we not see nature in everything? Even in the deepest dungeons? |
| 27658 If you believe that truly, then I can think of a particular planar sphere I'd like to sell you... |
| 27659 They are not simple forests, but ancient places in harmony for untold years. I have walked through many, but I had forgotten... how they stir my soul. |
| 27660 Oh, some days I am sure that the gods are all frowning on us. Faerûn is doomed! Doomed! |
| 27661 There are beings of great power in the planes that are my home... but do you think that they really concern themselves so much with this one? It strikes me as a barren fancy, really. |
| 27662 It is the elf in you, and the druid. Culture and nature together in balance. |
| 27663 Really? They are grand, I am sure, but I do not feel the same exhilaration you do. |
| 27664 The chasms we walk in jut from the earth like a spear, kept in check by a lack of balance, which means helping them would damn another land. It is chaos... |
| 27665 Please don't slow me down, aye? I'm on me way t' church, I am. |
| 27666 There's no rest fer the wicked, they says... so I plan on prayin' extra hard today, I does. |
| 27667 Pardon me fer a teeny bit o' blasphemy... but have ye seen the Morninglord's lasses as o' late? Now I know what 'em priests says about rebirth, I does! |
| 27668 Forests, grasslands; they have been in harmony for untold years, complementing, not competing. I have walked by many but had forgotten. They stir my soul. |
| 27669 Who d'you think ye're pushin' about, 'ey? |
| 27670 It is the elf in you, and the druid. Culture and nature together in balance. |
| 27671 Really? They are grand, I am sure, but I do not feel the same exhilaration you do. |
| 27672 I wouldn't have to plow into you if you kept your eyes out of the clouds and on the path you're walking, you filthy zealot! |
| 27673 There ain't no sin yet that can't be absolved by goin' to the right god and payin' the right amount, aye? |
| 27674 If that's what you believe, fool, then you believe in nothing. Sin is not washed from the soul with a coin, it is purged with temperance and atonement! |
| 27675 Yes, and if the balance can be struck there, it can happen where I am willing. It was my calling as a druid and as a Harper. I had forgotten... |
| 27676 All these preachers about for this no-eyed god are a little creepy... I wonder what sins they absolve? |
| 27677 Hmph. All them preachers are gone, an' I paid one a whole gold piece, too, for ooglin' Lathander's pretties. *sigh* |
| 27678 I am a lady of virtue and piousness, and I'll thank you not to bother me when I am about prayer. |
| 27679 Good business to you, my <LADYLORD>. You must excuse me, however, as I am at prayer in this most pious part of our dear city. |
| 27680 By Lathander's grace, the entire city has prospered... it is only right that we lay down in devotion to him. |
| 27681 I don't know why they allow that cruel god, Helm, to occupy a place in the city. Forgive my foolish tongue, but he has no place here after all he has done! |
| 27682 The city is in dire straits with so many of the clergy disappearing... only to turn up as converts of this strange cult. It isn't right! |
| 27683 Bless you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, for saving us all from a monster and heretic! |
| 27684 It doesn't matter; you don't need to. Nature balances because it is willing; I can bring that if I am willing. It was my calling as a druid and as a Harper. |
| 27685 By Lathander's grace... how can you bring one of those dark, evil things here into this part of the city?! |
| 27686 I'll walk where I like, rivvil... and you can take your petty racist slurs and throw them in the river for all I care! |
| 27687 I forgot that balance does not mean conformity; equilibrium does not need to sacrifice variety. Dermin forgot that too. Difference does not have to be chaos. |
| 27688 Why... that is the most darling little pet you have there, sir. |
| 27689 Boo is no pet... he is a fine companion for Minsc. But he seems to like you anyway. |
| 27690 Heh, you are beautiful when you have epiphanies. |
| 27691 <CHARNAME>, I care for you. I have not always shown as such, and my words may seem harsh on occasion, but my feelings are true just the same. |
| 27692 I would purchase a mirror if I wished only a reflection of myself as company. |
| 27693 And I would stay by the brooks of home if I wished only my reflection. I would like to see some of myself in your face, but not so much that I lose what is you. |
| 27694 I'm sure you can imagine the amount of coin it took to build these temples. *sniff* The peasantry seem to think the money came out of thin air. |
| 27695 I suppose I should pay my respects to Helm while I'm here. *sigh* It is such a bother to find truly loyal guards elsewhere. |
| 27696 I must admit that Lathander seems to have the right idea... those gaudy golden interiors are fit for a true king, if you ask me. |
| 27697 What is with all these eyeless priests shouting from the street? It will bring land prices down, I just know it! |
| 27698 Thank the gods that those preachers are gone! I was beginning to think one of them would jump on me and spoon an eye out soon! |
| 27699 Ah, if it isn't Lord Valygar. I am sorry, my lord... we still haven't built a temple to Mystra for your family yet. |
| 27700 Oh, stop it. I'm being serious here. |
| 27701 You know very well, my lord, that I am no sorcerer... and nearly all of my family is well beyond the reach of your petty barbs! |
| 27702 No, no, don't stop it. I have been far too serious and have worried about too much for too long. What is so wrong with this? Nothing! |
| 27703 Ah, now there's a fine-looking lass. I take it that you'll be undertaking the robes for Lathander then, aye? |
| 27704 I do not know what you mean... I have no plans to leave my gnomish lord Baervan Wildwanderer... I owe him too much, sir. |
| 27705 Ah, greetings to you, supplicants! I come to this grand place to bring word of the most divine and wealthy of goddesses, Waukeen! |
| 27706 She seems to be well enough remembered here... but I thought her worship was no more. |
| 27707 You're a fool to worship a missing god, priest. |
| 27708 Well, I shall be on my way. |
| 27709 Indeed! In her time, Waukeen was known and welcomed fondly by all in the great City of Coin! The promenade was built to honor her, and trade prospered throughout! |
| 27710 It is sad she disappeared from our lives... many of us still honor her. I am confident that one day she will return and claim all the wealth that is rightfully hers. |
| 27711 You worship a god that does not exist anymore? That seems odd. |
| 27712 Well, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 27713 Perhaps this changes nothing, perhaps everything. I don't care anymore. My heart cannot have nature within and be ashamed as well. |
| 27714 Not all of us converted to the worship of Lliira, she who brought the prophecy of Waukeen's disappearance. We Waukeenar yet hold her dear in our hearts and pray for her return. |
| 27715 I prefer you with a smile. I should have camped us in a forest or grove months ago. |
| 27716 What? We would have missed out on all the fun. Yes, I am joking. Let's go, <CHARNAME>. I feel happy for the first time in a long time. |
| 27717 Spit on me if you will... we spend coin to honor her and will revel in her return. The disbelievers will then have to pray hard to Lathander for any prosperity. |
| 27718 Good business to you, supplicant, and Waukeen's blessing upon your future dealings. |
| 27719 I knew. I had faith you would come around in time. |
| 27720 Well, it's about bloody time. Damn, I'm happy. |
| 27721 We have to be nearing our goal. It has been so long a journey, and we've been through so much! I hope this does not end up all being for naught. |
| 27722 Sometimes, I have the feeling that this will be. Perhaps we should just give up while we can. |
| 27723 I could not have come this far without you helping me, Jaheira. |
| 27724 We will survive and get some payback in the end. This has been quite the ordeal. |
| 27725 Do not think like that, <CHARNAME>. We will prevail. We have not come all this way to simply fail. We will make sure that this Irenicus pays dearly. |
| 27726 I am not here only for you. There are dead to avenge, and I will not rest until Irenicus is paid in full. I will move on in life, but I leave no debts behind. |
| 27727 On this we agree. We will do what we can, but we must be sure to exact a payment from this Irenicus that will prove permanent. |
| 27728 There can be no mercy for this creature. What he has done is unforgivable. |
| 27729 And if there is no alternative but to end his life, whatever the results? |
| 27730 And still some good has come out of all of this. |
| 27731 Remarkably, we wouldn't be this close without him. We might have parted company once we left Baldur's Gate, and I would still... well, things would be different. |
| 27732 I can live with that. |
| 27733 Good. So can I. |
| 27734 I would see him a failure, but will settle for dead. |
| 27735 Heh, then I will thank this Irenicus just before I feed him his own limbs. |
| 27736 I would bring back our fallen if I could, but I would not wish to lose you. |
| 27737 Do not waste time thinking of what would have been. It is fruitless and only results in tears. I would know. Let's just get going. |
| 27738 Aw, that's sweet of you. Come, let's get moving. |
| 27739 Then we will continue with a single mind for what must be done. We will find a way to end this. Come, let's get going. |
| 27740 Can I I would *ahem* Hear my words while I have the nerve. |
| 27741 <CHARNAME>, as we learn of our situation, I want to say... that there is much to come, and I find I need your company more and more. You are a great comfort in this time. |
| 27742 Stay with me tonight, <CHARNAME>. If... if you wish. |
| 27743 You know you can count on me being with you, Jaheira. |
| 27744 I would not have wished this time to be spent with anyone else. |
| 27745 As are you. Rest now. Who knows what we will face tomorrow? |
| 27746 I know. We are great friends... and more. Your words ease my thoughts, and many are the times we have saved one another in battle. We have grown quite close. |
| 27747 What are you getting at, Jaheira? |
| 27748 I recall all of this fondly. Anything I can do to assist you, I will. |
| 27749 Good morning! Shall we get ourselves ready for the road? We've much to do, so we should get an early start. |
| 27750 Are you certain of this? |
| 27751 Who knows indeed? Yesterday saw friends die, saw blood spilled. Tomorrow... |
| 27752 You can be yourself, be there for me. You can... be here for me as well. |
| 27753 No, but I am less sure of many things these days. I worry less about it though. I will set aside my hesitation if you will. |
| 27754 Jaheira, there is no other answer I could give. |
| 27755 When we are through with Irenicus. If you feel the same then... |
| 27756 I see. Then stay up and talk with me for a while. I doubt I shall sleep. |
| 27757 We are ready to move on? I think it best that we get an early start. |
| 27758 Jaheira? About last night... |
| 27759 Perhaps we should take some time to talk. |
| 27760 Nothing to be said. Always err on the side of caution. A wise policy; not everyone shares it. |
| 27761 Let's go now. We've justice to attend to. |
| 27762 Jaheira? About last night... |
| 27763 Are you all right this morning? You did not sleep much. |
| 27764 I slept well enough. Better than I should have liked. Come, we've not time for this prattling about. We've still a task to do. |
| 27765 Are you ready for travel? I don't think you slept much. |
| 27766 Shhh, nothing to be said. Let's get going now. |
| 27767 Neither did you, so pipe down. Let's get going. |
| 27768 You! You are Talon Nirkhas, priest of Talos, are you not?! |
| 27769 Er... yes... yes, I am. Why do you ask? |
| 27770 You don't remember me? We laid together an evening many moons ago. And this here is your daughter. Lanie, greet your father, darling. |
| 27771 Hullo, Father. |
| 27772 Ack! I... are you sure? I mean... I have no memory... |
| 27773 You were deep into your cups that eve, Nirkhas. Blame me not if you have no memory of the event. |
| 27774 I... I see. What is it exactly that you want? |
| 27775 I want you to take responsibility for your child, foolish man. |
| 27776 *sigh* Mommy, I don't like this daddy. I liked the other daddies better. |
| 27777 What's this?! |
| 27778 Hush, child! |
| 27779 Heh heh... oh, nothing, Talon Nirkhas. A simple mistake, perhaps, on my part. Please do excuse me. (You are in SUCH trouble, girl!) |
| 27780 I see. Talos's blessing on you, then, and... er... good day. |
| 27781 *ahem* It is... not against my vows to drink the cups or sample the flesh of a willing woman. We Talassans favor pleasure in the face of the destruction of the Stormlord. |
| 27782 Whew! I am certainly glad that situation was not what it seemed! There are many... ah... celebrations I have but hazy memories of! |
| 27783 What are... what are you looking at? Nothing to see here. |
| 27784 *sigh* I don't want another daddy. I just want to go home. |
| 27785 You wouldn't be my daddy, would you? |
| 27786 I've had quite a few daddies over the last couple of years. Mommy gets them to pay "their dues," as she calls it. |
| 27787 If my daddies had better memories, Mommy and I would be very poor. |
| 27788 And just what are you looking at? A woman has to make a living. |
| 27789 You! I know you! This child here is yours! It is time that you paid your dues for your foolish behavior! |
| 27790 The child is mine... like she was the cleric's? Or the gods know only how many other men's? |
| 27791 You'll hold your tongue, woman, or pay dearly for such slander. |
| 27792 She is? Er... how much do I owe you? |
| 27793 Oh, er... perhaps I was mistaken. You look very similar to another I had... spent time with. Excuse me, my lord. |
| 27794 Hold my tongue? Hold my tongue?! How dare you treat the mother of your child in this manner! HELP! HELLLP! THIS FIENDISH BRUTE IS ATTEMPTING TO CHEAT HIS OWN BLOOD! |
| 27795 You'll quit your lies, woman, or lose your tongue. Now. |
| 27796 Enough, woman, enough! How much coin will it take to keep you quiet?! |
| 27797 You can scream all you want. The child is not mine. |
| 27798 Oh, I don't know. I suppose 100 gold pieces will allow your little girl to live a half-decent life. For a while. |
| 27799 Here, then. Take it and begone. |
| 27800 I'll give you the money... for the little girl's sake if nothing else. |
| 27801 Hah! You'll not get a red copper from me, you conniving thief! |
| 27802 I am afraid you're barking up the wrong tree... I do not have that to give you. |
| 27803 Hmph. Miserly bastard. Very well then, off you go. |

| 27806 Thank you, my lord. My name, by the way, is Miranda... and this is your, um, daughter, Lanie. We appreciate your dedication to duty and will see you anon, perhaps. |
| 27807 Greetings, friend. I preach for the benefit of the Hearthkeeper, our lady Cyrrollalee. One day, I shall have a shrine here in the city dedicated to her. |
| 27808 The Hearthkeeper? Never heard of her. |
| 27809 Well, I'll be on my way. Excuse me. |
| 27810 Not many would, I suppose. She is a goddess of halflings... representing our ideals of friendship and trust. |
| 27811 You may notice there are a large number of the wee folk here in Athkatla. Cyrrollalee tries her best to provide a safe home for her people here in the city. |
| 27812 As you might understand, it is important for us halflings to fit in wherever we can. A home is a home... we may as well strive to make it a pleasant home. |
| 27813 As you wish, my friend. Go in peace. |

| 27820 What can you tell me of these missing priests? |
| 27821 Bah! It is the end come upon us! Many of our priests have disappeared... but some have returned to preach for this devil god! Talos will take revenge! |
| 27822 What can you tell me about these missing clerics? |
| 27823 Several have gone missing... and some have returned, claiming to be converts to the religion of this "Unseeing Eye." We will not force them to recant. |

| 27832 My love for the Lady Irlana leaves me so weak in the knees there is almost no other thought I can hold in my head! |
| 27833 It is a good thing for Cyrando... he has such a way with words. He is a good friend... and I am a poor excuse for a bard. *sigh* |
| 27834 Come to think of it, you do look passingly familiar. Did we perhaps meet in Beregost? I can hardly remember. |
| 27835 The foolishness of this Garrick fellow... does he think the Lady Irlana does not see through his ruse? |
| 27836 I am Sir Cadril, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. Pleased to make your acquaintance, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 27837 It is quite amusing to watch Garrick perform these endeavors in his efforts to win the lady's heart. I cannot wait to see what he does next. |
| 27838 I wonder who that gnome be who stands always behind Garrick. He certainly does look rather cute, methinks. |
| 27839 Garrick be an amusing man, but he'll hardly take my heart. For a bard, he seems to have a hesitant and awkward grasp of courtly words. |
| 27840 If I e'er found a man who could speak as Garrick does, but with fluency and passion... then that man would have my heart, methinks. |
| 27841 Greetings to you, my <LADYLORD>. I be Lady Irlana, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. At your service. |
| 27842 *sigh* I would court the Lady Irlana myself, but I know she would ne'er have an ugly gnome like myself. |
| 27843 This foolish boy, Garrick, can barely take instruction... sometimes I think he barely has a thought in his head. |
| 27844 My heart goes out to the Lady Irlana... but this is as close a simple gnome such as I can ever hope to come to a noble beauty like her. |
| 27845 I don't know why I dream of having the Lady Irlana for myself. She would never have me. |
| 27846 Slay Living |
| 27847 Now, that's not necessarily true, my friend. My cousin Adecan married a fine human woman, he did. He was of the sort that was not fine to look on as well... but she did appreciate his sense of humor. |
| 27848 Cyrando |
| 27849 Cyrando |
| 27850 The lad could tell a joke to save his life, in fact. Once kept a trio of ogres laughing so heartily that they forgot to eat him. Too bad he didn't speak griffon, however... poor Adecan. I hear his last joke was a zinger, although the punchline got cut short. |
| 27851 Hail, Keldorn! I have not seen you in some time! How fare you? |
| 27852 It has been a struggle of duty and honor, good friend... but the gods have treated me well, nevertheless, I think. |
| 27853 Ah... Anomen. I see you are... back. |
| 27854 I am, Cadril. And there is no reason for your furtive, suspicious glances either... whether you like me or not. |
| 27855 Ah... Sir Keldorn! How do you do? I just spoke to Lady Maria this morning, in fact. |
| 27856 I... I see. She is well? |
| 27857 Well enough, Keldorn. |
| 27858 Greetings to you, Anomen! It is good to see you again! |
| 27859 Sir Cadril |
| 27860 Indeed, Lady Irlana. I see you are looking as fair as ever. It is a pleasure to hear the musical tones of your voice once again! |
| 27861 Sir Cadril |
| 27862 Hmmm... for some reason, you seem rather familiar too, my dear. |
| 27863 Are you trying to tell me, bard, that you do not remember us? You were working for that evil sorceress, Silke, when we ran into you. |
| 27864 Hmm. Nope, doesn't ring a bell. Who's this Silke person? |
| 27865 Well, you didn't have many thoughts in your head then, and it is obvious you do not have many now. |
| 27866 *sigh* I sometimes despair that Lady Irlana will never be mine. |
| 27867 You are a bard, man... look into the depths of you heart and draw from that well a potion that will please your lady. Speak of things that will move a mountain by your passion and eloquence! To do aught else would be to shame your profession. |
| 27868 Eh? What was all that? Can I write it down? |
| 27869 Lady Irlana! Oh, my fair Lady Irlana! |
| 27870 Err... Garrick, isn't it? What can I do for ye, Garrick? |
| 27871 I, uh... I, uh... |
| 27872 (I am here to pledge to you the love of a poet and an artist. Take my fragile love, my sweet; hold it in your hands as I gaze upon you admiringly.) |
| 27873 I am... here to pledge... to you the love... of a poet and an artist. Take my fragile love, my... sweet; hold it in your... hands as a gaze upon you admiringly. Er... yes, that's right... |
| 27874 Lady Irlana |
| 27875 Oh... I see. Well, thank you, Garrick. |
| 27876 Lady Irlana |
| 27877 (Are you serious, Irlana? The man's a fop!) |
| 27878 (Come with me, my lady, and let me... ow! Damn insects! Wait, fool, don't say that!) |
| 27879 Come with... me, my lady... and let me out damn insects! No, you fool... don't, uh... |
| 27880 (Heh... you've got a prize here, my lady.) |
| 27881 So I see. |
| 27882 Um... excuse me for a moment... |
| 27883 Lady Irlana! I wish to, uh, proclaim my undying love... for you. Yes, for you! |
| 27884 By Torm, not again! |
| 27885 (Patience, my lady... this could be amusing.) |
| 27886 Well, get on with it, then. |
| 27887 Yes... ummm... okay... |
| 27888 (Lady Irlana, I am bedazzled by your beauty and awestruck by your nobility. What I would not do to spend an evening in your arms.) |
| 27889 Lady Irlana, I am... bedazzled by your... beauty and yawn-struck... by your nobility. What... I would not to do... spend an evening... in your barns. |
| 27890 (Arms, fool, arms!) |
| 27891 Arms, fool! I, uh... I meant arms. Yes, your arms. |
| 27892 Did you now, good sir? And what makes you think you be worthy to spend an evening in my arms? |
| 27893 *snort* *chuckle* |
| 27894 Well... it's easy... I, uh... |
| 27895 (I can never truly be worthy of a true lady of virtue, my love... I only desire that you see past my faults and give me a chance!) |
| 27896 (Why not tell her how handsome and studly I am, Cyrando?) |
| 27897 (Oh, get over yourself, boy!) |
| 27898 I can never... truly be worthy of a... blue lady of virtue... my love... I only desire you... that you see past... my faults and give... me pants! |
| 27899 (Doh! Idiot!) |
| 27900 Give you pants, good sir? Are you, perchance, missing a pair? |
| 27901 Well, perhaps the gnome fellow standing behind our good Garrick has the answer to that. What say you, sir gnome? |
| 27902 Eeek! Discovered! Run for it, boy! |
| 27903 I would like to congratulate you both on your wedding. I have ne'er seen an odder pair, but your love is both obvious and endearing. |
| 27904 Thank you, sir knight. I am most fond of the Lady Irlana... and am pleased that she was able to accept love from a simple gnome such as myself. |
| 27905 It was your words, little gnome, that stole my heart. Placing them in Garrick's mouth did naught for me. I love you for it regardless. |
| 27906 And just where is that Garrick fellow now? |
| 27907 Well, he was playing at the wedding until one of the bridesmaids caught his fancy. A headstrong Calishite lass... he's returning to Calimport with her. |
| 27908 If she takes charge of his life, he'll be the better for it. |
| 27909 Yes, well, congratulations again. And farewell to you both for now... I shall see you on your return. |
| 27910 Thank you, Sir Cadril... I shall see you soon. |
| 27911 It wouldn't befit you to search through the tanner's house when he's standing right beside you. He may get suspicious. |
| 27912 It wouldn't befit you to search through the tanner's house when he's standing right beside you. He may get suspicious. |
| 27913 There is a revolting stench coming from beneath the bed. It smells of decay. You could search beneath the bed if you wish to. |
| 27914 Beneath the bed, you find a mass of pale skin sewn into the shape of a tunic. |
| 27915 There is naught else beneath the bed but flies and blood stains. |
| 27916 (The polluted pool takes on a faint glow. An excited voice resounds within your head.) At last! Find the keys, wielder! I've found a man lacking in worth, so he shall be my voice until I'm free. |

| 27928 There is no reason to use this wheel. |
| 27929 As you near the center of the room, the doors clang shut and you hear the hiss of gas. An orange cloud begins to fill the now sealed chamber. |

| 27937 Not with them as such. I had heard that the artist Sarles was here? |
| 27938 No, I'm sorry, I don't have a reason to speak with you. |
| 27939 I don't believe you, Viconia. You opened up to me... and now you snap shut again. Why? |
| 27940 Yes, excellent! I will do just that, <CHARNAME>! I will shout my curses to the trees and skies and scrub myself thoroughly until I am cleansed of your nauseating stain! |
| 27941 Concern yourself with it no longer, then! I shall go and scrub your foul stain from my skin and attempt to suppress my gorge should you approach me again! |
| 27942 Do not attempt to render judgment on my mind, imbecile! Just... leave me be! Let me scour the stain of your touch from me... and be done with it! |
| 27943 Sir Mardus |
| 27944 Sir Mardus |
| 27945 As you wish! You shall hear no more from me! Oloth plynn dos! |

| 27947 Knight of the Order |
| 27948 You nauseate me, <CHARNAME>... is that not reason enough? I look upon you and I see something that I would rather squish under my boot! |
| 27949 If that's your opinion, then let's not talk at all anymore, all right? |
| 27950 Again you snap shut on me. Is it so hard to deal with someone as a confidante and equal, Viconia? |
| 27951 Arrgh! How irritating you are when you presume so! Get away from my sight! Away! |
| 27952 So, then. What do you think of that, <CHARNAME>? What do you think of me now? |
| 27953 I think you are a foul and perverse creature, Viconia. Do not speak to me again. |
| 27954 I think you want this relationship of ours, such as it is, to be over with. So be it. |
| 27955 These things do not matter to me, Viconia. Why did you not tell me of them before? |
| 27956 I think you are lying. Why are you trying to push me away? |
| 27957 So much the better. It lightens my heart to know you were as cowardly as I expected. |
| 27958 I am telling you that I have had rivvin by the dozens, that I allowed their saliva to cover me, allowed them to use me for their pleasures! And I enjoyed it! |
| 27959 I am a creature of dark lusts, you fool! Why are you not disgusted by this?! Turn away from me, spit on me and curse my name, I command you! |
| 27960 Very well. If you want this relationship, such as it is, to be over with, so be it! |
| 27961 No! I will not allow you to push me away, Viconia! |
| 27962 I am not those other men. I have seen the true you that lies within, and this is not it. You do not need to do this! |
| 27963 Finally, you show some sense! I am drow, foolish jaluk... never forget that! Jal khaless zhah waela! |
| 27964 Bastard! Stubborn bastard! Jal khaless zhah waela! Why must I trust you?! WHY?! In trust lies death! |
| 27965 Leave me alone! I will not be dominated! Stay away! |
| 27966 Squire Melvin |
| 27967 I don't trust you, Viconia. Not after the last time. |
| 27968 You would not let me repel you, no matter how I tried. I am defeated by your stubborn will and strange regard. My need is real, <CHARNAME>... stay with me tonight. |
| 27969 I'm sorry, Viconia. I think it is best if this relationship does not continue... it will never work out. |
| 27970 I don't think the time is right for this. |
| 27971 Very well... I shall. |
| 27972 There is no right time for such as us: Tomorrow could bring death. Allow my need, <CHARNAME>. Allow my honest submission. Refuse... and I shall bother you no more. |
| 27973 Then perhaps it is best if this ends here, Viconia. You know this will never work out between us. |
| 27974 Very well, Viconia... I shall stay with you. |
| 27975 Come to me, then, my mrann d'ssinss. You have defeated me... now taste your victory... |

| 27994 No, <CHARNAME>, do not worry. Besides, I enjoyed myself immensely. For whatever you lack in experience, you make up in enthusiasm... experience will come with time. |
| 27995 Hah! Drow males learn the arts, but most are timid, passive things. You have a charming enthusiasm that surpasses even the ones who enjoy their role, I think. |
| 27996 I found it so as well. You have a charming enthusiasm which bodes well for such evening pastimes, I think. Far more pleasing than educated artifice or simple lust. |
| 27997 I... I am lucky, <CHARNAME>, to have found you on the surface. To think that I would need to come so far, to such an alien place, to find someone that I could... trust. |
| 27998 You are not so terrible, <CHARNAME>... for a male. |
| 27999 And you are not so terrible... for a drow. |
| 28000 I think I understand what you mean, Viconia... and I thank you. |
| 28001 That's your idea of a compliment? |
| 28002 Ha! I am a horrible excuse for a drow. If my sisters saw me melting before a male, they would flay my skin bare, but with you it does not seem such a bad thing. |
| 28003 This must not come to pass. The everseeing eye of Helm must be made aware of what they intend. |
| 28004 This cannot be tolerated! The chosen of Talos will NOT be allowed to follow this upstart! The fear of their lord has been carefully sown, and it will not be thrown aside so easily! |
| 28005 No, no, no, this will not do at all. We cannot have the slim of faith lured away by such talk. They must be nurtured that they might choose the righteous path. |
| 28006 Do not pout so, <CHARNAME>. I meant no barb by it. This is unfamiliar territory for me, as a drow... although, with you, it does not seem so bad as it once did. |
| 28007 Negotiations with them are fraught with peril, as they would prefer you as a square meal rather than as an ambassador of good will. |
| 28008 There you are. I knew you would come. You have the look of a servant of what is right, a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of good faith and charity. |
| 28009 The thing that strikes you on first meeting is the eyes. Blank, rheumy, white, and unblinking. And the four tentacles that dangle and twitch over a lamprey's mouth. |
| 28010 Their skulls are striated like the contour of a man's brain, but it pulses like a sheep's bladder. |
| 28011 The illithid mind is a stranger landscape still. Their main goal is dominance of others... and they believe that life with the elder brain is the highest form of being. |
| 28012 That, and the delight they seem to get from cracking open your skull like a hen's egg and drinking everything swimming inside your head... |
| 28013 That's quite revolting. I don't think I need to hear any more. |
| 28014 What else can you tell me? |
| 28015 As you wish. |
| 28016 The kuo-toa are a race of fish-men that form the other third of the Underdark civilized domains. Cold, horrid creatures driven into the underground seas long ago. |
| 28017 They are usually on good terms with drow, but they hate us, as they loathe most everything. They despise sunlight, and the surface-dwellers that drove them from it. |
| 28018 The kuo-toa will trade, but negotiations are fraught with danger. No one kuo-toan settlement is the same as the next... they are unstable and prone to profound suspicion. |
| 28019 I've seen them swim across Lake Trez'ntwerneth, cresting and leaping. They appeared to enjoy themselves. The speed was amazing, easily a corsair's carrack at full sail. |
| 28020 The first sign of kuo-toa is the reek of dead fish. Head away from the water they need to survive. Risking a fight is to flirt with the Cold Maiden. |
| 28021 Wow. You could write a bestiary, I think. |
| 28022 Hm. All I ever wanted to know about the Underdark and far more besides. |
| 28023 Feh. These things are known to all drow, easily. I am sure there is equally much you could tell me about surface creatures. |
| 28024 I think you will agree that your faith and ours are not at odds; we should help each other. In times of darkness, protectors of the dawn must work together. |
| 28025 Tell me next time, then, if you intend to tune me out, and I shall be sure to include colorful drawings and cartoonish dances to keep your infantile mind interested. |
| 28026 (The voice laughs) Prove your worthâ€â€find Quallo. We shall speak through that vessel. Beware! Fail to break the wards in the proper order, and you must start again. |
| 28027 What is it that you need? I will help if I can. |
| 28028 I can make no promises until I have heard what is required. |
| 28029 Do not assume kinship solely on appearance. I will decide my alliances. |
| 28030 (The water glows, but the voice is silent. You notice words scratched into the rust of the four pipes that dominate the room.) |
| 28031 Glowing Pool |
| 28032 Glowing Pool |
| 28033 I had worried you would not come. Your reputation is far from clear. Despite this, you have the look of a servant of light, a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of charity. |
| 28034 The drow wish to rule, as do duergar, kuo-toa... even illithids, but our feet are clay. We distrust each other almost more than other races, and that is our weakness. |
| 28035 Then I will help if I can. Can you give me details of what is required? |
| 28036 This prophet preyed on the people's need for security. Can you not offer this? |
| 28037 This does not concern me. I will not risk the wrath of a new faith. I refuse to help. |
| 28038 I am Sir Donalus, Guardian of Helm. He also serves, who stands, waits, and watches carefully. |
| 28039 I am Sir Donalus, Guardian of Helm. The taint of evil leaves its stench always. You are being watched. |
| 28040 My family was much the same as any other drow family, which is to say it is nothing like you know a family to be. |
| 28041 I am Sir Donalus, Guardian of Helm. Remain ever vigilant, friend. The Law must prevail! |
| 28042 Even as one grows older, one is little more than chattel to the House and the greater glory of Lolth. |
| 28043 Fathers do not exist as you know it. The males service the matron of the house when she wishes to conceive... or when she desires pleasure. |
| 28044 Welcome to the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, young <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I am Prelate Wessalen. Walk always on the path of justice, honor, and duty. |
| 28045 Amongst the drow, cruelty and pain are both armor and shield. It makes us deadly... Lolth encourages competition and rivalry to keep us strong. |
| 28046 As an adult, he was a useful wizard... and amused my mother enough that she did not sell him into slavery. |
| 28047 Many of the spiritually young have trouble realizing what faith actually is. There is rarely instant gratification, save what you take from it yourself. |
| 28048 And I certainly did not expect him to... do what he did. Knowing that he would have to pay the price. |
| 28049 Despite the number of deities, physical manifestations are rare. These people think they wish a lord that walks with them, but that is not the way of the gods. |
| 28050 How dare you enter this place, viper! I suggest that you leave. |
| 28051 Because she never forgives a trespass. She keeps a frightening thrall over her sect... visiting from the Demonweb as often as a peasant visits the greengrocer. |
| 28052 It is because I have seen, because I have felt the lash of tentacle rods, that she will... will leave me to think I am safe or free, and then she will come for me. |
| 28053 Walk humbly and love justice. |
| 28054 Then this man's claims are doubly disturbing. I will help, but what must I do? |
| 28055 But if this turns out to be a legitimate faith, what then? |
| 28056 I cannot risk angering a people's faith. I will not help. |
| 28057 I... have a need, <CHARNAME>. A need that must be fulfilled... I must feel your strength within me and around me. |
| 28058 Be ever vigilant and protect the downtrodden. Such is the way of truth and light. |
| 28059 When can it be perfect, <CHARNAME>? You are a valiant male filled with courage and god's blood. I have seen you look upon, and I am not displeased. |
| 28060 'Allo there, pally. I'm Squire Melvin. It's nice t' meet ya. |
| 28061 We tried to talk with someone that took up this new faith, but once gone, they never return. You must infiltrate as friend or foe and see what is going on. |
| 28062 Are you aware that, despite our intimacies, I know little of you other than the usual graces? You've mysteries in you, and secrets. That face holds tales in its creases. |
| 28063 The pleasure is mine, Melvin. What is this place? |
| 28064 Sorry, Melvin. I'm too busy to talk right now. |
| 28065 We have information that the core of their worshippers are underground and relatively close, though our scrying has only allowed us to see as far as the sewers. |
| 28066 What about the time before the Life? Before the endless travel, days in the dark and death at your heels? Who was your closest ally, then? |
| 28067 Righty, righty! I'm a blue-bellied goober, then! Cheers! |
| 28068 Imoen... was then and is now. She's my closest friend. |
| 28069 Gorion... a wise man, good teacher, and greater friend. |
| 28070 Dis here's th' Most Noble Order o' the Radiant Heart. I bees the squire fer learnin' knighty stuff. |
| 28071 As distasteful as it may seem, you must pass through the sewers. Obviously, they're not huddled amidst the pipes, so there must be a passage away. The sewer entrances are marked on your map. |
| 28072 I didn't really have any close friends, just a lot of acquaintances. |
| 28073 What is the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart? |
| 28074 I would prefer not to talk about that right now. |
| 28075 Then ask nothing more. I will follow into the depths and return with answers. |
| 28076 And what is the reward? I am a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of faith, but I must eat as well. |
| 28077 Err... I change my mind. I won't anger a deity, especially if it involves the sewers. |
| 28078 How long have you been with the Order? |
| 28079 Thanks for the information. Goodbye. |
| 28080 Closest friend? How close is that? A social gracing or intimate counsel? What does closest mean? |
| 28081 'Tis an order o' paladins 'n such. Truth, justice, honor, and courage, ye knows. |
| 28082 We are like brother and sister. She's kind of annoying sometimes, but I care dearly deeply for her. |
| 28083 Listen, Viconia, can we consider this conversation over? I'm not really in the mood for talking about Imoen, all right? |
| 28084 Why do you consider him such a good teacher and close friend? |
| 28085 Viconia, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I don't feel like talking about Gorion, if you don't mind. |
| 28086 Gorion was patient. He had the patience of a trueborn parent. Without him, I don't know what would have become of me. |
| 28087 Fascinating, Melvin, but I've got to be going. |
| 28088 May the Morninglord light the way. We have healing and tools for you here should you need them. Merely ask one of our acolytes, and they shall provide. |
| 28089 How long have you been a squire of the Order? |
| 28090 You must be close to Imoen, since you rush to rescue her from an uncertain fate, but perhaps it is already too late to elude what has been ordained for her. |
| 28091 Two days, give or take. Was cleanin' fish wot not but a week ago. I'm a thinkin' I wants t' be a knight, ye knows. |
| 28092 Viconia, can we just drop it? All right? Enough. |
| 28093 I do not understand you sometimes. Always locked up, never open for business. Perhaps you'll say anything to get what you want, then have nothing to say. |
| 28094 We would send more help, but our resources are needed elsewhere. That said, Keldorn, an ally and one of Torm's best, is waiting in the sewers. I wish you well. |
| 28095 You're saying that they've accepted you as a potential knight? |
| 28096 Hmm, if only we all had such advantages: The blood of a god and a kindly guiding hand. I do hope for what lies ahead, that Gorion instilled strength in you as well. |
| 28097 Cleaning fish? |
| 28098 I must be going. Farewell. |
| 28099 Lathander promotes the adventurer's spirit, and wealth is included. The favor of the Morninglord includes many intangibles, ample reward for the task at hand. |
| 28100 Yar! They but seen me skill wit' th' fish guttin' knife, and they's gonna train me. |
| 28101 I intend to rescue her before anything happens, I swear it. |
| 28102 Perhaps it is, I suppose we shall see. |
| 28103 Well, good luck, Melvin. |
| 28104 Words spoken in haste are often regretted in leisure. We shall see, <CHARNAME>. |
| 28105 Indeed. I have no doubt, however, that you will make the attempt. |
| 28106 So... nothing then. Needless to say, this is not enough. I won't do it. |
| 28107 I will help as best I can. |
| 28108 Have you given any thought to what you will do once this whole business is over with? |
| 28109 Hoy, Anomen. What's th' good word, eh? |
| 28110 Your refusal of the adventurer's impulse is unfortunate. Perhaps Lathander would not be served by your employ anyway. Disappointing. |
| 28111 Regardless, the offer stands for now. We cannot pursue this alone. Return when you are of a mind to help. Do not deny how your faith is aligned. |
| 28112 *sigh* Melvin. |
| 28113 Aye, ya gots a fine look about ya. |
| 28114 By all that is holy, Melvin, do you not have a latrine to scrub? |
| 28115 Nar, I's done 'em yesterday. |
| 28116 By Helm, Melvin! Why are you talking to me? The prelate may be using a soiled latrine this very moment! To it, boy! |
| 28117 Righty, righty, knighty! I best be gettin' t' work. |
| 28118 (Why do you you test me so, Helm?) |
| 28119 I'm not sure... I was hoping on being somewhere with you, however. |
| 28120 I've devoted most of my thought to survival. |
| 28121 Why do you care? |
| 28122 I have thought on the future myself. With a little ambition, I see us carving an empire, ruling a small kingdom, and living in the hedonistic luxury we are meant to! |
| 28123 You flatter me, <CHARNAME>. I hope those are not just empty words you are spilling purely for my benefit, however. |
| 28124 I have no interest in lording over others, Viconia. I thought you knew that. |
| 28125 That doesn't sound like such a bad idea. |
| 28126 Get your head out of the clouds already. |
| 28127 I would think, at this point, that I might be allowed to devote some thought as to where this is heading! |
| 28128 Fair enough. I haven't thought about it much myself. |
| 28129 I apologize, Viconia... I just didn't expect this from you. |
| 28130 It's a pleasurable enough diversion, Viconia, but nothing beyond that. |
| 28131 Do not dismiss it so easily. Inject some kindness, if you must. With your power, you could bring order to a chaotic land. People might appreciate your rule. |
| 28132 Maybe. I don't think they would appreciate yours, however. |
| 28133 Perhaps your thought has some merit. I don't know. |
| 28134 Rulership is not for me, Viconia. Period. |
| 28135 Feh, it is little more than idle fantasy, really. It is good to see that you have a little desire, however... perhaps that is something I can work on, hm? |
| 28136 True. It is little more than idle talk and fantasy. A strange thought to overcome me, truly, but not entirely unpleasant. |
| 28137 Is that so? I expect nothing, but I am no plaything. Cool your heels by yourself tonight and every night from here on! You'll not lay hands on me again, iblith! |
| 28138 That is too bad. It is little more than idle talk and fantasy, but I would have hoped for more vitality and powerlust. Such limp posturing is not becoming in you. |
| 28139 Blessed be Chaos! |
| 28140 Holy Destruction upon us all! |
| 28141 May the Stormlord's hatred fill you. |
| 28142 Slave of goodness, your idiocy sickens me. Go back to your starving orphans! |
| 28143 We are to stop and rest now, are we? I suppose that is good and well, as I am exhausted nearly to the point of dropping. Come, then, my mrann d'ssinss, and let us get our coupling over with quickly. |
| 28144 Strive always to aid, to foster new hope. Perfect thyself and be not prideful. |
| 28145 The Morninglord welcomes you back into his light. Have you reconsidered your decision? Will you take up our cause as your own and help us? |
| 28146 "Over with"? You don't make that sound very appealing. |
| 28147 If you are too tired, Viconia, there is certainly no need for us to lie together. |
| 28148 Why quickly? After our most recent nights, I was positive that you were always in the mood for this. |
| 28149 My decision is unchanged. |
| 28150 Go back over what was required of me. |
| 28151 Yes, I will help you. |
| 28152 May the Morninglord's dawn find you ever renewed, my friend. |
| 28153 **REMOVED** |
| 28154 The sun shall burn you from the earth! Repent and you may be spared! |
| 28155 **REMOVED** |
| 28156 You return. I trust you bring good news? Have you met with this cult? Are they to be believed in their claims? |
| 28157 I may be tired, but I look forward to showing the arts I learned as a drow. I hold a degree of... affection... for you, <CHARNAME>. How else am I supposed to show this? |
| 28158 I have nothing to say just yet. |
| 28159 I have met with some. They put out their eyes in reverence to their lord! |
| 28160 This cult worships a beholder! I think the majority are magically enslaved! |
| 28161 Very well then, let's get to it. |
| 28162 It was a beholder cult! I have destroyed the beast and all of its plans! |
| 28163 You do not need to lie with me to show your affection, Viconia. Nothing is expected of you. |
| 28164 He also serves, who stands, waits, and watches carefully. |
| 28165 The taint of evil leaves its stench always. You are being watched. |
| 28166 Remain ever vigilant, friend. The Law must prevail! |
| 28167 Hmm. An odd thing to say. If I had no male to service me in the Underdark, I slept alone. I am... unfamiliar with this. How else would you show... affection? |
| 28168 Here... let us hold each other tonight, only, and I will show you. |
| 28169 If you can't even grasp such a simple concept, then this relationship is obviously doomed. Forget it. |
| 28170 Fair enough. Let's sleep on it, shall we? |
| 28171 As you wish, my mrann d'ssinss... Come into my arms and let me show you but a small portion of the drow's vast knowledge of the art of massage... |
| 28172 Obviously so. I suppose I was a fool to expect any kind of virility or lust out of a limp sycophant like yourself. I'll not make the mistake again, I assure you. |
| 28173 Keep looking. We know there are spiritually vulnerable people in danger, and all must be done to help them. |
| 28174 As... as you wish, <CHARNAME>. I feel uncomfortable with this arrangement, but I suppose that... that some rest is not uncalled-for. |
| 28175 Disturbing news, though the false prophet on the street said as much. We had hoped he was not speaking literally. Is there anything else you can tell us? |
| 28176 Is it Is it time to awaken already? |
| 28177 This cult worships a beholder! I think the majority are magically enslaved! |
| 28178 It was a beholder cult! I have destroyed the beast and all of its plans! |
| 28179 Not at this time. |
| 28180 I must admit, <CHARNAME>, that I slept more deeply than I have in some time. I have not felt safer in... a long time... than I did in your arms. A unique experience. |
| 28181 A beholder cult? In Athkatla? Terrifying news. Such a creature must be powerful to remain hidden. Why would it come here? There must be more to this. |
| 28182 It was just sleep, Viconia, nothing more. |
| 28183 I hold you in too high regard to think of you as here only to service my pleasure, Viconia. You are far more than that. |
| 28184 It was nothing special. |
| 28185 No... it was more than that. I thank you for your... consideration. |
| 28186 I am going to ask you to do something that I would not ask of any but the bravest of the faithful. This beast must be destroyed. |
| 28187 But if you think I will become teary and weak, you are foolish indeed. Come! Let's move before we are beset by something more sinister than squirrels and rats. |
| 28188 Such cults never enlist their followers honestly. In this case, not only are they enslaved, but their eyes are put out. You must end this however you can. |
| 28189 I... I have nothing... nothing to answer that with, <CHARNAME>. Thank you for your... consideration. |
| 28190 You are awake, I see. That is good. I have been watching you for some time... thinking. I wish to share my thoughts with you. |
| 28191 May the Morninglord go with you and bring you to the dawn through the darkness ahead. |
| 28192 I'm listening. |
| 28193 I really haven't time for this, Viconia. Let's get moving. |
| 28194 I have considered my actions lately and feel ill at ease. I am a drow female, and yet I submit to your will and service you as if I were but a simple drow male. |
| 28195 I know this is not your intention. You have given me... protection, trust, and a fair amount of affection, I would think. I am too proud to continue in this vein. |
| 28196 A beholder cult in Athkatla? You have done a greater service than we had expected. I will dispense what priests we can spare to help with the survivors. |
| 28197 Find someone more like yourself to lavish attentions on. Our union is foolish, and the drow have a saying: "The foolish find surprises, and among them waits death." I am no fool. |
| 28198 No, Viconia! Stay with me, I know we can make this work! |
| 28199 Are you sure about this? I... have deep feelings for you, Viconia. I would not want you to waste what could be. |
| 28200 To your reward then, for you have performed admirably. You are to receive the greatest gift that we can bestow, one that transcends mere coin or purse. |
| 28201 Fine. If this is what you wish, so be it. |
| 28202 After all we've had, this is the excuse you're giving me? You are an idiot, drow, to give up on me so easily! |
| 28203 Do not crawl like an infant, fool. Your mewling churns my stomach. Desist and we both rest easier. Let us just continue our travels, <CHARNAME>... I much prefer that. |
| 28204 I am sure, <CHARNAME>. You and I know there is nothing that "could be." It is ended cleanly... so let us continue on our travels without further argument. |
| 28205 Excellent. You are very sensible, for a male. It is ended cleanly, so let us just continue our travels without further conflict and we shall both rest easier. |
| 28206 In this, there is allegiance. Your faith is aligned as ours, though it lacks direction. |
| 28207 Am I? Your display only makes this easier. So limp, even for a male! I have no plans to go anywhere, <CHARNAME>, unless you are too weak to face me. |
| 28208 You will have sanctuary here, with a room of your own to serve as a home. This is a great gift. |
| 28209 Get out of here! Get out of my sight! |
| 28210 No... that's fine. Stay, if you must. |
| 28211 A'dos quarth! Aluve', s'lurrpin iblith! Oloth plynn dos! |
| 28212 Very well, I shall stay. But take your pathetic eyes from me... and let us continue our travels. |
| 28213 I have... I have an odd feeling. I do not... think I have ever felt like this before... |
| 28214 No reward is necessary. I only did what I should have done. |
| 28215 Good, I have been waiting for this. |
| 28216 It would be a great honor to serve. |
| 28217 I must decline. |
| 28218 Hm? What is it? Compassion? |
| 28219 What kind of feeling? |
| 28220 Ignore it for now; we have to keep moving. |
| 28221 I will not be patronized by you, you idiot jaluk! Next time you have something smart to say, shove your head underwater before I do it for you! |
| 28222 Know that there are also duties to aspire to. Strive always to aid, to foster new hope, new ideas, and new prosperity for all humankind and its allies. |
| 28223 I am not sure. As drow, we grow to have a natural tendency to feel rock... and to feel magic... and this has similarities of both within it... |
| 28224 It is almost as if a dark whisper is traveling over Faerûn, searching, seeking out... something. I... fear it is looking for me. |
| 28225 Perfect yourself, guarding against pride, for it is a sacred duty to foster new growth, nurture, and work for rebirth and renewal. Be fertile in mind and body. |
| 28226 Are you sure? What makes you think that? |
| 28227 Consider always the consequences of your actions so that the least effort may bring the greatest and best reward. |
| 28228 You're probably just imagining the whole thing. |
| 28229 I am not imagining this! And do not patronize me, you idiot jaluk! I will not have it! |
| 28230 Wherever you go, sow seeds of plants, tend the growing things you find, and plant seeds of hope, new ideas, and plans for a rosy future in the minds of all. |
| 28231 Well, what can you tell about this "feeling," then? |
| 28232 Calm down, calm down. There's probably nothing that can be done about it anyway. |
| 28233 Whenever possible, see each dawn. Welcome to the house of Lathander, <CHARNAME>. Find Acolyte Lara here in the temple; she will tell you of your duties. |
| 28234 It... it has the stink of Lolth. She is spinning her web, <CHARNAME>... she is looking for me. Why now? Why?! |
| 28235 It... no... there it goes. The feeling... has vanished. But that does not mean it will not return. I... I am suddenly quite cold inside... |
| 28236 Must you? Is it fear which holds you back? One should not dread the change that a new day brings. Are you sure of this decision? |
| 28237 I am sure. I do not wish to join with you. |
| 28238 You are right, of course. I will join with you. It is an honor. |
| 28239 Do not worry, Viconia... I am here to protect you. |
| 28240 Forget about it, Viconia... there is nothing that can be done. |
| 28241 Unfortunate, but it is your choice to make. You will be welcome here, even if you do not count yourself among the fold. Good luck to you, <CHARNAME>, good luck. |
| 28242 A somewhat comforting thought, <CHARNAME>. I am sure, somehow, that it will take more than brave words on your part if my fears prove to be true. |
| 28243 Perhaps... you are right, <CHARNAME>. I am ill at ease, however. If my fears prove to be true, this may be the end of me. I suppose I shall see... when and if it comes. |
| 28244 It is unfortunate you have chosen to walk apart from us. The Morninglord would have been served well by your courage. |
| 28245 You have done well and given us pride with your actions. You shall continue to do the Morninglord honor in his service. |
| 28246 That... feeling! It is back again, but stronger this time; I can feel the ripples of the dweomer... black whispers from the depths of the Abyss! She has found me! SHE HAS FOUND ME! |
| 28247 Oh! You may wish to speak with Dawnbringer Sain on your way out. He may have a task for you. We can still work together, even if you are apart. |
| 28248 You. I would speak with you. I would hire you as a mercenary in the service of Helm. I would prefer a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of faith, but you will be adequate. |
| 28249 It... it's inside my head! IT'S INSIDE MY HEAD! |
| 28250 NOOO! EEEYYYAAAAAIIIIIEEE! |
| 28251 There is the strayed one! Gather her, rothé... and kill the others! |
| 28252 Ooooh... that sort of psychic rape by a hound from the depths of the Abyss is the sort that I simply will not tolerate! My head feels as if it is barely connected to my body... |
| 28253 Hey, don't thank me for saving you or anything... |
| 28254 What was that thing?! |
| 28255 I understand that you have saved me, and I am appreciative. The alternative would have been... unthinkable. I am just... a little disoriented... |
| 28256 Just what was that thing, anyway? What happened? |
| 28257 Are you all right? Do you need healing? |
| 28258 You there. You have the look of a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of faith. I would ask a service of you. If you perform well, you may gain the favor of the temple of Helm. |
| 28259 Follow me to the temple of Helm. I will discuss what is required of you there. Do not take too long; Helm requires you now. |
| 28260 That was a Handmaiden of Lolth, and a yochlol. Gated assassins. To think that she would go to such efforts to gather me upâ€â€it is almost beyond belief. |
| 28261 Why would she come after me now, after all this time? Why now? Has she grown bored with my escapades, or is there some other reason? |
| 28262 And... what will she do to take me next? The Spider Queen is not so easily dissuaded. <CHARNAME>, I despise this terror that threatens to swallow me! |
| 28263 Do not fawn over me, fool! I suffered a psychic attack, that is all! There is little that magic can do to assist me at the moment! |
| 28264 If she sends more, I'll deal with them the same as I did these ones. Do not worry. |
| 28265 Calm yourself, Viconia! |
| 28266 What do you intend to do? |
| 28267 Easily and bravely said, <CHARNAME>... but Lolth is no creature to be trifled with. I... I must think. Please, leave me be for a while... |
| 28268 I am calm, foolish male... but my fear is justified... the Spider Queen is a thing to be feared! I... I must think, <CHARNAME>. Please, leave me be for a while... |
| 28269 Do? I... I do not know. I must think, <CHARNAME>... please, leave me be for but a while... |
| 28270 How do you think I feel?! If she sends more of those things, all of us are in danger, not just you! |
| 28271 And what would you have me do, <CHARNAME>? Leave? Return to the Underdark and plead for mercy? There is no mercy for me! There is no mercy! |
| 28272 You don't deserve mercy, Viconia. You're a dark-hearted thing, and I'm sorry I laid eyes upon you. |
| 28273 Yes, leave... find some way to save yourself, but I won't have you endangering me or the others! |
| 28274 No. Stay here... it is the safest place for you. We will find a way around this. |
| 28275 Is that what you think?! Iblith jaluk! Darkness take you, <CHARNAME>. I shall pray for your destruction forever! |
| 28276 You cast me out?! I should have known it would come to this! All trust... is foolish! Darkness take you, <CHARNAME>. I shall pray for your destruction forever! |
| 28277 I... do not know if there is a way around this. I... please let me think on this, <CHARNAME>... leave me be for a while... |
| 28278 Welcome. I had hoped you would come. You bear the signs of one that is good of heart, but that also gives weight to all sides of an argument. |
| 28279 Back away from me, you pathetic fool! Do not cast your eyes upon me. I told you to let me be, iblith! Are you so insipid and moronic that you cannot understand such simple instruction?! |
| 28280 I thought you would not come. I know of you; your actions prove you not as loyal to good as you could be, though you give thought to either side of an argument. |
| 28281 Good, you have arrived. Know first that I will give no more trust than you prove worthy of. Despite your fine reputation, you are unknown until it is verified by deeds. |
| 28282 It is about time you have arrived. First, I must say that I know your reputation. It is now irrelevant. You will be judged according to how you serve. |
| 28283 I said nothing to you, Viconia! What brings this on?! |
| 28284 Again you turn suddenly hostile? What happened to your promise? |
| 28285 I have had enough of your selfishness and games, Viconia! Begone with you, and make both our lives easier! |
| 28286 You... you are an affront to me... I wish this had never come to be! |
| 28287 Why do you turn your head? Those are tears in your eyes! Why are you saying these things to me?! Why?! |
| 28288 You want this to end, do you? Well, I am tired of trying so hard! So be it! |
| 28289 We are aligned in a like fashion, and I think you would do well to pledge your service to the guidance of Helm. Here is the problem that I wish to pose to you. |
| 28290 To the deepest pit of the Abyss with my promise! I shall do as I like, you ignorant male! I... you are an affront to me! I... I wish... this had... never been! |
| 28291 You heard that fool in the street? If what he says is true, it threatens to upset a delicate balance. A new power would only disrupt the way of things. |
| 28292 As you wish, <CHARNAME>! This is... easier... for us both, in the end. Begone with you and your ilk; I pray that we never meet again! |
| 28293 Why do you turn your head? Those are tears in your eyes! Why are you saying these things to me?! Why?! |
| 28294 You want this to end, do you? Well, I am tired of trying so hard! So be it! |
| 28295 I... I... just... leave me be, <CHARNAME>! Just leave me be! |
| 28296 The task I ask will be treacherous, but you seem capable. Serve well, and you will be rewarded. Display any treachery, and it will be seen. Now to the task. |
| 28297 We... we must talk. |
| 28298 This... is not working... between us. It will never work, and I think you know this. There can be only one outcome. It can only end poorly. |
| 28299 No, I refuse to believe that! I love you, Viconia! |
| 28300 Why do you say this? |
| 28301 I suppose that is the truth. What do you intend to do? |
| 28302 Love? What is this love? What can it do? Your love will not be enough for us... it cannot provide us a future. You know it is the truth. |
| 28303 Sooner or later I will fail you, or you will fail me, or Lolth will capture me, or I will cause your death. I am drow and you are not... there is no happy ending here. |
| 28304 We must poison our hearts, my ssinssrigg... we must do what is necessary and cleave us apart before it is too late. And I cannot stay. |
| 28305 I must leave you now, <CHARNAME>. I must poison my heart and be apart from you before it is too late. I cannot stay. |
| 28306 I thank you, my ssinssrigg... you have shown me something I did not think to find, especially here on the surface. You touched my black soul, and I will be forever grateful. |
| 28307 If he is lying, then whatever cult he is proposing can only serve to hurt those it bilks into following him. |
| 28308 If it... if it means anything to you, <CHARNAME>, I do truly love you. |
| 28309 What signs point to this? I would not wish to upset a legitimate faith. |
| 28310 I will do whatever I can to help you. What do you require? |
| 28311 He played on the people's insecurity. Can you not offer better than he? |
| 28312 Aluve' ussta mzilst ssin'urn ultrin... farewell, my most handsome conqueror. Until we meet again. |
| 28313 Nothing points to the emergence of a new deity. It would be impossible to hide such an event from the Great Guard that is Helm. |
| 28314 What does remain unseen is the fate of those that have chosen to follow. We have lost some of our younger faithful, and they must be accounted for. |
| 28315 Then I will help as I can. Can you detail what is required? |
| 28316 This prophet preyed on the people's need for security. Can you not offer this? |
| 28317 I will not risk angering a new god. I refuse your offer. |
| 28318 I won't allow that, Viconia! There can be a future for us if we both try! |
| 28319 I... am sorry, Viconia. If only there were some way for you to stay... |
| 28320 Yes, you are right. If you have to leave, then go. There is nothing more to say. |
| 28321 There is no way, <CHARNAME>. You know that. |
| 28322 Helm offers unwavering stability; true faith has no instant reward. Helm very rarely appears in physical form. Walking with mortals is not the way of the gods. |
| 28323 But why?! Why would you wish to have me stay when you know this is doomed?! Doomed as my own black heart is doomed! Do not do this to yourself, <CHARNAME>! |
| 28324 Then this man's claims are doubly disturbing. I will help, but what must I do? |
| 28325 And if this turns out to be a legitimate faith, what then? |
| 28326 I cannot risk angering a god. I will not help. |
| 28327 I want you to stay because I love you, Viconia. Because if you leave, I will die without you. |
| 28328 He of the Unsleeping Eyes must know of this cult. The blindness they promote is abhorrent to Helm. We ask you to investigate and identify what is happening. |
| 28329 If... if you cannot love me, Viconia, is there no way for you to remain with me here? |
| 28330 Go, then. Go, Viconia, and do it quickly, or I will not be able to bear it. |
| 28331 ... |
| 28332 ...I love you, too, <CHARNAME>... in my fashion. |
| 28334 The Vigilant One informs us that the cult is underground and close, but we cannot see past the sewers. You must infiltrate it, as friend or conqueror. The sewer entrances are marked on your map. |
| 28335 But that is not enough, is it? |
| 28336 You must suffer the filth of the sewers to find the filth of the cult. They are not hiding amidst the pipes, so there must be a passage leading further away. |
| 28337 <ITEMNAME> |
| 28338 Beholder Eye |
| 28339 It is as good as done. I will return with the answers you seek. |
| 28340 And what is the payment for this task? |
| 28341 Err... I changed my mind. I won't anger a deity, especially if it involves the sewers. |
| 28342 Beholder Eye |
| 28343 The liquid in the cauldron boils and seethes as you approach. The symbol of the Twisted Rune emblazons the cauldron, and these words are written beneath it: The Orb is sight. The Eye is the way. The path yet remains... |
| 28344 May the Great Guard give light to all wrongs against you. You may seek healing and tools to aid you here as you need. Ask an acolyte, and you will receive. |
| 28345 I... I regret I am not a creature who can feel things as you do. The capacity... is just not within. I almost wish it were, but darkness and loss are my callings... Shar knows only too well. |
| 28346 Our resources are thin at the moment, but an ally of Helm and servant of Torm is awaiting you in the sewers now. Seek Keldorn to serve with you. Faith guide you both. |
| 28347 Not knowing what else can be done, you drop the beholder's eye into the boiling cauldron. Immediately, the liquid calms and the machine further along the wall begins to hum. |
| 28348 There will be reward. Do not tax your welcome by demanding it now. You will be given your due when the time is right. |
| 28349 So... nothing then. Needless to say, this is not enough. I won't do it. |
| 28350 I will help as best I can. |
| 28351 Hmm. Your refusal is displeasing. Know that Helm frowns upon you and will do so until you change your course. |
| 28352 You have another chance though, which is rare in Helm's sight. Return when you see fit to do what you must. We have not the means to do this without you... at this time. |
| 28353 Helm sees your intent to return to his service. Have you reconsidered? Will you help? |
| 28354 My decision is unchanged. |
| 28355 Go back over what was required of me. |
| 28356 Yes, I will help you. |
| 28357 Your return was foreseen, though what you would say is unknown. Is this cult to be believed? Speak what you know. |
| 28358 I have nothing to say just yet. |
| 28359 I have met with some. They put out their eyes in reverence to their lord! |
| 28360 This cult worships a beholder! I think the majority are magically enslaved! |
| 28361 It was a beholder cult! I have destroyed the beast and all of its plans! |
| 28362 Return to searching. This must be laid bare before Helm, that all might be seen and judged. |
| 28363 This was known. We took the prophet in the street to his word when we saw his own eyes. Have you anything else? |
| 28364 This cult worships a beholder! I think the majority are magically enslaved! |
| 28365 It was a beholder cult! I have destroyed the beast and all of its plans! |
| 28366 Not at this time. |
| 28367 A beholder cult! Such beasts are an affront to the eyes of Helm! What would bring this creature here? It is foolish to come this close to a Helmite temple. |
| 28368 You have a clear duty here. A lesser <PRO_MANWOMAN> might shrink from this, but you must not. The disorder the beast will bring is to be stopped. |
| 28369 Such cults are never populated by willing followers. The blindings must end, and they must end soon! Use whatever means you can. Helm watches and bids you swift victory! |
| 28370 A beholder cult in the very heart of Helm's sight? You have done a great service removing it! We will send clergy to remove all taint of its presence. |
| 28371 Now, to what you are due. You are one that walks in faith with Helm's ideals, and you have earned a payment that is beyond mere wealth. |
| 28372 To your reward. Such service would earn greatness for one of the flock, but you are occupied elsewhere and will have to be content with mere gold and trinkets. |
| 28373 You will not be disappointed, though the spiritual rewards could have been much more. You are welcome here, so long as you maintain a favorable reputation. |
| 28374 Oh! Speak with Guardian Telwyn as you leave. He may have a task suited to you, though Helm reserves true blessings for those that follow. |
| 28375 I require nothing. It was an honor to serve. |
| 28376 Good, I have been waiting for this. |
| 28377 You are granted a place in Helm's sight. You are aligned with many of us, though you lack direction. |
| 28378 You are given quarters here, a personal space to house your belongings. You are honored. |
| 28379 I am indeed! I accept with all mine heart! |
| 28380 I cannot accept this. |
| 28381 Then know the duties: You must be vigilant, fair, and diligent. Protect the weak, the unpopular, the injured, and the young. Do not sacrifice them for others. |
| 28382 You must anticipate attacks and be ready, know your foes, and care mindfully for your weapons so that you can perform your duties properly when called upon. |
| 28383 Never betray trust. This is all-important. All else pales. These are the tenets; now seek Acolyte Byron here for your new duties. Welcome to Helm's sight. |
| 28384 You cannot? This is your duty and your calling. Do you cast aside that duty? Is that your true wish? |
| 28385 I am sure. I do not wish to join with you. |
| 28386 I would be foolish to say no. |
| 28387 Then you are not worthy. You have turned down a gift that some will never receive. So be it. You are welcome here, though you will not belong. Farewell. |
| 28388 You have missed a chance that will not come again. You are welcome here, but you do not belong. |
| 28389 Your service to Helm will be remembered. Do not fail him in intent or deed. He sees all. |
| 28390 The Jysstevs? Might I ask what business they are in? |
| 28391 No, you may not. Their affairs are their own, and unannounced guests are not privy to them. Now, did you have a purpose here? |
| 28392 No, I'm sorry, I don't have a reason to speak with you. |
| 28393 I'm sorry, but I had heard that the artist known as Sarles was here. |
| 28394 I would like to see what you have available. |
| 28395 If there's something that ye be wantin', say so quickly. Delosar's be a busy place, and I be always short-staffed... I have little time even for ye. |
| 28396 Do you have any entertainment here? |
| 28397 No trouble at all. The door is back the way you came. |
| 28398 Why are you short-staffed? |
| 28399 Oh, never mind. |
| 28400 Does it be seemin' like I has entertainment, aye? This here be a drinkin' hole and nothing other. If ye be wantin' to see flouncy actors and singin', ye should head t' the Five Flagons. |
| 28401 That's a good question. Th' guards who come here sometimes cause problems... but usually I be drivin' off me wenches with me quick temper. Now get lost. |
| 28402 Fine, fine. But if ye drinks too much and gets into trouble with th' guard, don't come cryin' to me. An' if ye falls down drunk, I be throwin' ye out to the road... |
| 28403 Then why does ye be botherin' me?! Off ye go! |
| 28404 I hear that the halfling fellow went an' built a bloody theater out of his cellar. All th' power to 'im, but most folk I know are only interested in drink. Good thing 'at is, too. |
| 28405 I'm sorry... I can be no help to you, my <LADYLORD>. I'm just about run off me feet as it is! |
| 28406 I tell you, if another one of these mercenaries upstairs grabs me, I'm leaving! |
| 28407 Vittorio is nothing but trouble, I swear. Do not let him talk ye into anything. |
| 28408 This whole business with the murders is unsettling... but I feel a little safer with all the guards here, even if they be addled with wine. |
| 28409 I be glad that the murders be over with... but now the constant irritations of the guards is almost too much to bear! |
| 28410 What do you know about all the murders in this area? |
| 28411 How in the Abyss should I be knowin' about that? The killin's go on in the streets... go ask people out there what they seen. No killin' in here! |
| 28412 SIR Sarles is a guest at the moment. No doubt you are from some church or another? *sigh* You are expected. Try not to track your dirt about too much. |
| 28413 You! Out of my inn, you no-good, vile little thief! |
| 28414 You can't be speaking to me... I haven't been called that in ages... |
| 28415 Of course I mean you, you fiendish little troll! I'll have your head if ye comes in here any further! |
| 28416 So you are talking to me. Well, isn't that nice? I always told my cousins that Calbor was the most thoughtful innkeep in Athkatla, and I'm glad to see it wasn't just poor memory talking. |
| 28417 Out! OUT! |
| 28418 You're getting a mite red in the face, Calbor. What seems to be the problem? |
| 28419 That... your goods do NOT work! You stole my money, you did! |
| 28420 Come, now, Calbor. You're talking about the turnip lotion, correct? |
| 28421 Yes! |
| 28422 Hm. That's strange. Aunt Patty swears by that stuff. You didn't put it on your head, did you? |
| 28423 Uh... |
| 28424 Well, there you go. You see where blowing up gets you? I had a cousin Jalico who put some turnip lotion on his head once. His wife still won't speak to him. |
| 28425 I'll talk to Kylie, Calbor, and see about getting you some new lotion. And instructions. Tsk tsk. Poor man. Fair enough? |
| 28426 Er... all right... fair enough... on yer way, then... |
| 28427 Hello. I welcome you within the dawn light of Lathander. I have heard of the good you have done and ask a task of you to further the glory of the Morninglord. |
| 28428 I will hear you. What is it you wish? |
| 28429 I do not have time for this just yet. |
| 28430 Very well. Return unto me when you are able to hear me through. |
| 28431 I knew you were of the faithful. Here is the task as I envision it. It is hard to keep in clarity, such is the light of Lathander that it will bring. |
| 28432 I am charged with the acquisition of art for the temple. The beauty of the dawn must be captured in every nook and cranny of Lathander's home. |
| 28433 Athkatla is blessed with the presence of perhaps the greatest sculptor of our age... at least, since the death of Prism of Nashkel. What a loss he was to us. |
| 28434 And what is it you wish of me? |
| 28435 And a lovely job you do. |
| 28436 I'm not on duty, citizen. If you got yourself a problem, go see somebody else. |
| 28437 Watch your step. Between beggars and thieves, I've had a difficult enough day. |
| 28438 I'm not responsible for whatever the council doesâ€â€can't you people get that through your head? |
| 28439 Be wary of those mercenaries from Riatavin upstairs... Dennis and his fellows are e'er up to no good. We'll get them eventually. |
| 28440 You there... I recognize you, I think. Watch your step around here, thief. |
| 28441 You wound me, sir. I am but a simple citizen up to simple citizenry-sort activities. Nothing to interest you, I am most sure. |
| 28442 What's this? A black elf? Here? |
| 28443 Do not get yourself overexcited, rivvil. I have almost been charbroiled once by your sort this month. |
| 28444 *hic* Don' mind me there... citishen... |
| 28445 I... *hic* I... I am the law! *hic* I think... |
| 28446 Ahhhhh, you thinksh I caresh about your problemsh? Naaaaah. Jush give me some coinsh, and I'll be on my waysh... |
| 28447 The artist is known as Sir Sarles, and he is making an all too brief visit. We would be foolish not to seize upon the opportunity to have him work for us. |
| 28448 *hic* You're under arresht! Yesshir... *hic* Ash soon ash the inn shtops shpinning... |
| 28449 You! *hic* You're comin' wish me... to me room... or you're under arresht... *hic* |
| 28450 Perhaps you should go and soak your head within a bucket, guard, before you attempt to address me again. |
| 28451 Heeey, baby! *hic* Ye knowsh what? I am the law! |
| 28452 Hm. This must be why thievery has never been a very hazardous practice in Athkatla. |
| 28453 "Ohhhh, I wish I was a madcap boy again! I'd sail the Inner Sea; I'd go to Starmantle and Mordulkin on the water I'd be freeee!" |
| 28454 Unfortunately, he commands a high commission. And he wishes to work in solid illithium! A lesser artist would be laughed out of town for such extravagance. |
| 28455 Unfortunate indeed. What can I do? |
| 28456 Is there an alternative to this? |
| 28457 I would ask you to convince Sir Sarles that it would be best for him to work for us. None of the other temples has a great enough source of illithium. |
| 28458 "I'll find my destiny in Waterdeep... You know there's magic in the air... And people everywhere... The city women are so fair... |
| 28459 Pay for what you must and barter for his service as best you can. Do not stoop to underhanded means... he is worth his coin regardless of the price. |
| 28460 "You can sail out to the Moonshaes, my love; You can search in the forests there. You can climb the mountains of Moonshae, my love; You can look most everywhere. |
| 28461 You will refund what gold I spend on him? |
| 28462 And if he will not agree? What if the other temples have already hired him? |
| 28463 A simple messenger's errand. Do you not have an altar boy that can do this? |
| 28464 "You can sail the Sea of Swords, my Johnny, you can sail it quick and bare! You can sail the Sea of Swords, my Johnny, until the pirates see you there!" |
| 28465 All will be refunded as the church's coffers will allow. If you do not receive the full amount, it will certainly be counted as a very generous donation. |
| 28466 Go to him now. Sir Sarles is staying at the Jysstev estate. It is in the southeast section of the Government District. |
| 28467 Remember, you speak for Lathander in this matter. |
| 28468 I know you can convince him... but if not, do not do anything to shame the house of the Morninglord. Pay if you must, and you will be reimbursed as best we can. |
| 28469 "Oh, Ilmater, you'll come and save me, right? You'll come and save me soon? Because Umberlee has come now for me In the form of a monsoon! |
| 28470 The altar boys, as you say, have duties of their own. You are bid to do this. Do you refuse the request of the place that has given you its blessing? |
| 28471 I will look into this, but I can promise nothing. |
| 28472 My apologies. I will do my best. |
| 28473 I'll find my destiny in Waterdeep... The city walls are so high... The smoke clouds o'er the sky... It'd be a shame to say goodbye..." |
| 28474 When you sail out to the Moonshaes, my love, You can search Caer Corwell, too. You can walk the beaches of Moonshae, my love, Search forever under skies so blue." |
| 28475 I've prayed hard to you, oh, Ilmater take pity on my soul! I may be nothing but a drunken sailor, But I'd sure like to go home whole!" |
| 28476 You are bid to secure the sculptor Sarles for service to the Morninglord. See that he does good by and for our faith. |
| 28477 I be lookin' for no trouble, mate. I just be here on a layover, that be all. |
| 28478 Have ye e'er been to Maztica, mate? 'Tis the wild lands off to the far west across the Trackless Sea. The colony of New Amn be small and harsh, but its riches be plenty! |
| 28479 You must find the illithium and convince Sarles to work for a commission we can afford. Discuss it with him first. Perhaps he realizes the rarity of the metal. |
| 28480 I been to the New World city o' Ulatos, mate... off west in Maztica. The governor there does treat the natives harshly... It will come to violence soon, I fear. |
| 28481 The cap'n says that the thieves must be paid ere any cargo can be loaded onto the ship. 'Tis a long wait this time, I think. |
| 28482 Joy of joys, this morning is a bright one indeed! You have done it, and work has begun already! I cannot thank you enough, and neither can the church itself! |
| 28483 I don't know why the Amnians kill so many of the Mazticans off in the New World. 'Tis a terrible thing to witness. |
| 28484 Aye, I have heard of such. The priests of Helm in New Waterdeep object strenuously... although I hear nothing has changed. |
| 28485 Your reward then. You have earned a portion of the artist's commission, which should cover any costs you incurred quite nicely. |
| 28486 Choose. Choose from the gifts of Lathander, and know the power that they will bring. Do you wish the Ring of Holiness, the Armor of Faith, or the Staff-Spear? |
| 28487 'Ay! You there, me lord! Ye looks like th' sort can handle yer weapons, aye? |
| 28488 And since you are a blessed follower in the service of Lathander, I will grant you a boon that is seldom seen in the hands of a Morninglord as young as you. |
| 28489 I give you a blessed Periapt of Life Protection, that you might prevail against what enemies you may have. You have served well under Lathander. Go in peace. |
| 28490 The Ring of Holiness. |
| 28491 The Armor of Faith. |
| 28492 The Staff-Spear. |
| 28493 A difficult choice you have made, as the gifts are all valuable in their own measure. The ring is a blessed thing indeed. Alphonse will bring it to you shortly. |
| 28494 A difficult choice, as the gifts are all valuable in their own measure. The armor is fine protection indeed. Alphonse will bring it to you shortly. |
| 28495 A difficult choice... each gift is valuable. The weapon will deliver the sting of Lathander to your enemies. Alphonse will bring it to you shortly. |
| 28496 I can use my weapons just fine. Why do you ask? |
| 28497 What would a drunkard like yourself need with me? |
| 28498 Begone, I've no time to speak to you. |
| 28499 I be in some need of assistance, me <LADYLORD>. There be a fellow within Delosar's Inn there... Dennis. He owes me a good deal of coin, an' refuses to pay! |
| 28500 He promised to pay off me bar tab, he did, in exchange for some lessons on the gong. Well, I teached him, I did... an' now he refuses to pay me tab! |
| 28501 Tarnations! There be no justice in the world, methinks! All I wants is me money! |
| 28502 Forget it, I've no time to do this task. |
| 28503 Why don't you just handle this yourself? I am no debt collector. |
| 28504 Er... gong lessons? Are you serious? |
| 28505 And what would I get in return for doing this? |
| 28506 Ehhh, well I be kicked out of Delosar's for not having my tab paid. Dennis be a big fellow... with big friends. I need some muscle behind me if I'm t' go within. |
| 28507 You said you taught him gong lessons? |
| 28508 And what would I get in return for doing this? |
| 28509 Very well, I'll help you out. |
| 28510 I've no interest in getting into a fight... find someone else to help you out. |
| 28511 The gong be a fine instrument... and it be used in many a rite here in the City o' Coin, me <LADYLORD>... we honors all the gods for business deals, we does. An' besides... it sounds pleasant. |
| 28512 Why don't you just handle this yourself? I am no debt collector. |
| 28513 And what would I get in return for doing this? |
| 28514 Very well, I'll help you out. |
| 28515 Forget it, I've no time to do this task. |
| 28516 I be a poor, poor man, me <PRO_LADYLORD>... I have almost nothing to offer ye. I beg ye to help a destitute teacher find some justice! |
| 28517 Why don't you just handle this yourself? I am no debt collector. |
| 28518 You said you taught him gong lessons? |
| 28519 Very well, I'll help you out. |
| 28520 I don't work for free. Forget it. |
| 28521 Aaaah, ye're a fine and noble <PRO_GIRLBOY>, ye are. Come... follow me inside o' Delosar's, and let's have a little talk wi' Dennis, aye? I do believe he is on the second floor. |
| 28522 Eh? I see it be ye again, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. Might ye have changed yer mind regarding helpin' a poor old man out, aye? |
| 28523 Certainly... let's go and talk to this Dennis fellow now. |
| 28524 What is the problem, again? |
| 28525 No, I haven't. |
| 28526 It be an injust world, dagnabbit! *grumble grumble* |
| 28527 I be Dennis... the leader of my mercenary fellows here out o' Riatavin. If you want to keep yer face on straight, you'll stay well clear of us. |
| 28528 Fine... so long as you steer clear of me. |
| 28529 Why can't we be friends? Here, I'll buy you an ale. |
| 28530 With a stench like yours, staying clear of you and your pals will not be a problem. |
| 28531 Agreed. Now get lost. |
| 28532 I have plenty of ale, and so do my soldiers. Last time, <PRO_GIRLBOY>... step back and go away. |
| 28533 Well, if you're going to be rude about it, I'll go... just keep clear of me. |
| 28534 Hooligans? Hooligans in my home, and when I have important guests as well. Get out, you rude little bandersnats. I'll have the guard on you if you so much as touch a doily. |
| 28535 I don't take insults lightly. I suggest you apologize or things will get ugly... |
| 28536 Too late, <PRO_GIRLBOY>! |
| 28537 Are you trying to be funny? I suggest you apologize, little <PRO_GIRLBOY>, before things get... heated. |
| 28538 Did I say stench? I meant putrid, nauseating, undead-repelling, vomit-inducing aroma. So sorry. |
| 28539 Fine. Just steer clear of me as well. |
| 28540 I apologize, sir. Meant nothing by it. How about I buy you an ale? |
| 28541 You asked for it, <PRO_GIRLBOY>! |
| 28542 Take a hike. Not interested in chattin' with ye. |
| 28543 Oy, Dennis, ye mealy-faced sack o' suet! Ye owes me th' coin for me bar tab! Pay up or ye'll surely face the consequences! |
| 28544 Don't threaten me, you sorry excuse for a thief... I owe you nothing! |
| 28545 Ye had yer lessons on the gong, Dennis! Pay up now, or ye're in deep trouble! |
| 28546 You've a nerve, drunkard! You took my sweet mother's gong! You stole it and traded it for ale, didn't you?! Didn't you?! |
| 28547 ...oh, er... now, I had actually gone an' forgotten about that... |
| 28548 ...I'll just be on me way, then... |
| 28549 Hold, you drunken fool! You'll go nowhere until I get that gong! |
| 28550 Um... me <PRO_LADYLORD>? Some... assistance? |
| 28551 Did you actually take this man's gong? |
| 28552 Is there no way this can be worked out, Dennis? |
| 28553 You'll not restrain this man, Dennis... not while I'm here. |
| 28554 Sorry, Vittorio... you're on your own. |
| 28555 Well... I, uh... |
| 28556 He did. The gong belonged to my mother... it was her dowry and worth a great deal of coin. This damnable lout here stole it before my lessons were even finished! |
| 28557 And he will pay for it dearly if it isn't returned to me... |
| 28558 Is there no way that this can be worked out, Dennis? |
| 28559 You'll not touch him so long as I am about. |
| 28560 Sorry, Vittorio, but you're on your own. |
| 28561 Not unless I get my family's gong back, there isn't! |
| 28562 ...well, I, um... I may be able to help with that...? |
| 28563 Then I suggest you do it, old man! |
| 28564 ...my <PRO_LADYLORD>? Would it be too much to ask for you to... um... find this gong for... this gentleman? |
| 28565 Why don't you get it yourself? |
| 28566 I... I sold it, I did. To a fence by the name o' Roger... He has 'is hideout in the sewers. I... don't know where, exactly... but it were sold not long ago. He could still have it, he could! |
| 28567 I suppose I could. Where is it, Vittorio? |
| 28568 Forget it. Solve your own problems. |
| 28569 You mean you would actually aid this criminal? He is a thief and a drunkard! He stole my family's property! I should kill him for what he's done! |
| 28570 As I said, you will not touch him! |
| 28571 Is there no way to work this out, then? |
| 28572 Did you actually steal this man's gong, Vittorio? |
| 28573 Fine. Do what you want... it's got nothing to do with me. |
| 28574 That's it, Vittorio... either cough up my gong right now... or you are a dead drunk... |
| 28575 *gulp*... Iâ€â€I see... |
| 28576 If I have to deal with you first, then that's just fine with me! |
| 28577 Vittorio is going nowhere until I get my gong. |
| 28578 Fine. I'll go see if I can't find this gong of yours. |
| 28579 Very well, I'll try to find it. Where is this gong, Vittorio? |
| 28580 Well, it's not my concern. Deal with it yourselves. |
| 28581 Forget it. I'm not running all over Athkatla for this. |
| 28582 Listen... I know that you're not really involved in this. But I do want my mother's gong back. If you get it for me, I'll not only consider Vittorio's debt even, I'll make it worth your while. |
| 28583 I've a few items of potent magic that are worth plenty if you were to sell them... I'd be willing to part with one for the gong returned. What say you? |
| 28584 All right, I'm interested. Where is the gong, Vittorio? |
| 28585 Fine. I'll go and find this gong for you. |
| 28586 I said I wasn't interested. See you around. |
| 28587 B-bless you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! |
| 28588 I'll just keep Vittorio here as my company until your return. My thanks for your assistance. |
| 28589 Well, Vittorio... I guess it's just you and me now. I guess since you don't have the gong... the price is coming out of your hide! |
| 28590 ...p-please, me <PRO_LADYLORD>! I beg of you! Have mercy! |
| 28591 All right. Fine. I'll see if I can locate this gong... if I have the time. |
| 28592 Sorry. You got into this yourself, Vittorio. |
| 28593 ...NO! PLEAAASSE! |
| 28594 I... er... I thank ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>! I be most grateful! Er... I think I should be going now... |
| 28595 Well. So much for that. |
| 28596 A fine good business to ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. I just wanted to thank ye fer handlin' that Dennis fella in th' pub... a fine bit o' justice, that were. |
| 28597 ...er, I do so hope ye finds the gong soon, me <PRO_LADYLORD>... |
| 28598 Sorry, this is getting too complicated. I refuse to look for this thing any further. |
| 28599 Where did you say this gong was, Vittorio? |
| 28600 All right, I'll keep on looking for it. |
| 28601 Well, Vittorio... I suppose that means your time has run out, hasn't it? |
| 28602 Nooo, pleeease! Me <PRO_LADYLORD>! I beg of you! Aid a poor man! Pleeease keep on looking! |
| 28603 Sorry. Not interested. |
| 28604 I have no intention of continuing the search... but nor will I allow you to touch this man, Dennis! |
| 28605 All right, I'll keep on trying. |
| 28606 I sold it to a fence by the name of Roger not too long ago, I do think. He... lives in the sewers below th' city, although I knows not exactly where. He... he should still have it... |
| 28607 ...my thanks, me <PRO_LADYLORD>... ye're a kind one... |
| 28608 I have no intention of tracking down this gong. But I refuse to allow you to lay a hand on this man, Dennis! |
| 28609 So... you haven't found it yet. Does this mean that you no longer intend to look? |
| 28610 That's right. This has gotten too complicated, and I'm through with trying. |
| 28611 I just need to know where Vittorio thinks the gong is. |
| 28612 That's correct... but nor will I allow you to touch this man, Dennis! You'll release him at once! |
| 28613 No, no. I'll keep trying to find it. |
| 28614 Excellent. Vittorio and I will await your return. |
| 28615 You have the gong? Excellent. Mother will be very pleased. As I promised, here is your reward... it should fetch an excellent price, unless you find another use for it. |
| 28616 And you, Vittorio... you can go. But I warn you to stay out of my way... I don't even want to hear your name, you foul drunkard! |
| 28617 ...there is... there is just th' wee little matter of me bar tab...? |
| 28618 Grrr. You've got gall. But... I suppose I've got my gong. I'll pay half of your tab, fool. Now get out. |
| 28619 Y-yes, yes, of course. And thank ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>... I am most appreciative! You are so kind! |
| 28620 Ye has the gong! Oh, thank ye, thank ye truly! Er... Dennis... the good <PRO_LADYLORD> has the gong...? |
| 28621 Wh... what? That gong you have! That is my mother's gong! How did you get that?! Give it to me immediately! |
| 28622 It's yours? Very well, I have little enough use for it... here you go. |
| 28623 I rescued it from the lair of an ogre mage fairly. If you want it, you can buy it from me. |
| 28624 I'll hand nothing over! Begone with your foul breath and your demands! |
| 28625 Beggar Child |
| 28626 My thanks! I have been looking for this ever since that drunken lout stole it! Here... take this magic item as a reward... it will fetch you a fair price if you wish to sell it. |
| 28627 Beggar Child |
| 28628 Mother will be so pleased. I think it is time to return to Riatavin right now. Come along, men. |
| 28629 Hmmm... I suppose I could do that. Here... I have 500 gold pieces. That's a fair price for the gong... I'll not offer a copper more. |
| 28630 Then I'll take it from your dead body! Men... attack! |
| 28631 All right, that is acceptable. |
| 28632 Well, I suppose I'll just keep it then. |
| 28633 Priestess of Ilmater |
| 28634 Priestess of Ilmater |
| 28635 And who might you be? Ahh, no doubt you have come to make your case before Sir Sarles that he might sculpt for you. From one of the temples are you? |
| 28636 I am here for the glory of Lathander. |
| 28637 I have come for the glory of Helm. |
| 28638 I seek his service for the glory of Talos! |
| 28639 I will discuss that with the artist alone. |
| 28640 I see. It makes no nevermind to me, and I think it matters little to Sir Sarles as well. He's concerned with the creation, not with who might own his work. |
| 28641 It's a great honor to have him here. We are simply the height of the social circuit right now. The envy of all the nobles, we are. |
| 28642 Do try and keep to the sides while here, will you? I've very wealthy people coming to see the artist, and I don't want people dawdling with the messengers. |
| 28643 On with your business. Don't bother me. |
| 28644 My goodness, Qar did not tell me we had guests already. You must be... Actually, you look to be nobody. Get out of my home; you've no business here. |
| 28645 Oh, you must be the messengers come to beg the service of Sir Sarles. It's a great honor to be refused by him, so don't feel bad when you leave empty-handed. |
| 28646 You should have heard of us around here. We're famous all over Amn. |
| 28647 Riatavin, to the far south, is rebelling against the council... we be mercenaries hired to fight against Lady Aura and her kin. |
| 28648 For the glory of Lathander, I shall not fail. |
| 28649 For Helm, I will persevere and convince him. |
| 28650 For the glory of Talos, he will work as we see fit. |
| 28651 My purpose here is solely between the artist and me. |
| 28652 Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say. Just try to move quickly when you enter or exit my home. My social club is green with envy over Sarles's coming here, but your presence is an eyesore. |
| 28653 Do what you must and then remove yourself. I've people of culture to impress, and you foul the air somewhat. |
| 28654 If you want to discuss business, you must speak with the cap'n. |
| 28655 Who is it? Might I ask why you have disturbed my meditations? My creative muse must be gently awakened, and your stomping about is simply not conducive to this. |
| 28656 My apologies. I will leave you to your thinking. |
| 28657 I apologize, but I have come to request your talent on a commissioned artwork. |
| 28658 I am the mage of this mercenary troupe... I get paid well, and I'll thank you to leave me be. |
| 28659 It matters not that Riatavin has petitioned to join Tethyr... their rebellion will not succeed. We shall crush them. |
| 28660 The Cowled Wizards do not prevent mages from operating with the army... or with mercenaries. Especially mages of my skill. |
| 28661 Then I shall forget you were ever here. Actually, it is an astoundingly easy thing to do. |
| 28662 I have no doubt that there are few mages of my equal here in this skill-poor city. |
| 28663 I'm practically tempted to test that theory, you snide little fool. |
| 28664 Oh, yes, yes, yes. One of those bloody churches sent you, didn't they? Must be, because everyone else understands the word "no." Which one are you from? |
| 28665 It is for Lathander that I stand before you. The Morninglord bids you welcome. |
| 28666 Helm has sent me forth. His ever-seeing eyes wish to gaze upon your work. |
| 28667 Talos has sent me to demand your service. His glory must be honored. |
| 28668 Come now, is your muse that picky? I offer a commission; is that not enough? |
| 28669 Our fight against the town of Riatavin has been blessed by the gods... we shall surely prevail. |
| 28670 Have you perchance been to the temple of Helm here in Athkatla? It is a fine marvel, I think, truly. |
| 28671 I am the priest and healer of this mercenary group. I am their spirit and arm of faith... and I can battle as well as any of the other men. |
| 28672 And your offer is the same as the others. Gold and the satisfaction of serving the one true whatever. |
| 28673 Hmmn. I don't remember seeing you down here before. New customers, perhaps? Me name be Roger. Is there something that you... need? |
| 28674 But think of the prestige you will earn. |
| 28675 Yes, you will be gaining the favor of a powerful faith. |
| 28676 Yes, think of the gold. We will offer more if it is not enough. |
| 28677 What is it, exactly, that you sell? |
| 28678 Let me see what you have available. |
| 28679 Why are you down here in the sewers? |
| 28680 I'd be interested in a gong, if you have one. |
| 28681 No, nothing really. |
| 28682 Oh... odds and ends, mostly. I buy things from people who acquire things, and I don't ask where they acquire them from. And then I sell them to others. A redistribution of goods. |
| 28683 I have prestige now. I am the darling of every noble in town, and damned if I need any more than that. Neither do I need the payment. I am well provided for. |
| 28684 Isn't that illegal? |
| 28685 Let me see what you have available. |
| 28686 Why are you down here in the sewers? |
| 28687 I have the favor of every mincing noble in the city now. What do I need the backing of a church for? Such institutions demand much of a person. |
| 28688 I'd be interested in a gong, if you have one. |
| 28689 I have not paid for a single luxury of my own in years now. I am bounced from noble to noble as a status symbol, and I want for nothing. |
| 28690 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 28691 Follow me, then. Down here, I have an assortment of practically everything you could possibly need. |
| 28692 No, what I need has not changed, and I have said so to your masters. The gold offered is sufficient, and I am just fine without the flattery. |
| 28693 Down here? Oh, the sewers aren't so terrible. The guards don't be comin' down here, and my customers like to be somewhere... out of sight. |
| 28694 What I really need is to work in the medium of my choice: pure illithium. Anything less is an insult to my skills. That is all I require. |
| 28695 But I am told such a material is very costly and rare. Is there no alternative? |
| 28696 Then I will find what you need. Perhaps I can get some from an ore merchant. |
| 28697 I know of no source for such a material. I'll wager the other churches don't either. |
| 28698 'Tis the beasties that are the biggest problem, especially of late. There's this sea troll. People have 'em as pets, and when they grow too large, they huck 'em down here to torment me. |
| 28699 What would you give me to take care of your problem? |
| 28700 Let me see what you have in your stores, then. |
| 28701 I'd be interested in a gong, if you have one. |
| 28702 You are told? Have you not checked? Gathering the materials is not the job of a fine artist such as myself. Go speak with an ore merchant or some such. |
| 28703 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 28704 Eh? A gong? You mean as in an actual gong? By Waukeen's arse, I haven't had a gong since that one ol' Vittorio sold me. Sorry, I can't help you there. |
| 28705 I recall the name of one that was referred to me on my last visit. Jerlia was her name, I believe. Speak with her. She has exotics occasionally. Try the promenade. |
| 28706 That's the particular one I'm looking for. |
| 28707 All right, then. Remember... you haven't seen me, aye? |
| 28708 Now go! I will work for whatever church acquires the necessary materials! If not yours, then another! 200 pounds of illithium or I go back to enjoying my holiday! |
| 28709 What are you? Some kind of crimefighter that scours the sewers? I be mindin' me own business, and that's all it is... business. If ye has a problem with it, then be on yer way. |
| 28710 Let me see what you have in stock, then. |
| 28711 Why are you down here in the sewers? |
| 28712 This is not my problem. I am enjoying my holiday. It is you people that are having difficulties. Find an ore merchant or some such. |
| 28713 I'd be interested in a gong, if you have one. |
| 28714 I'll be leaving, then... I've no interest in doing business with you. |
| 28715 You have heard my conditions of service. Provide what I wish, or I will not work for you. Check the promenade if you seek an ore merchant. |
| 28716 Well, I did not expect to see you back here so soon. Perhaps next time I should request to work only in blood-forged meteoric adamantite. |
| 28717 Well now, that depends. What are you lookin' for? |
| 28718 Coin, of course. |
| 28719 Er... yes, well, you have met my demands. I will work for your lord and compose a fitting tribute to his glory... or some such. My muse will decide. |
| 28720 I suppose I could part with a few coins for the deed. I tell you what... dispose of the sea troll beastie for me, an' I'll be pleased to pay you 500 gold pieces, aye? |
| 28721 I thank you on behalf of the followers of the Morninglord. |
| 28722 I thank you on behalf of the followers of Helm. |
| 28723 I thank you on behalf of the followers of Talos. |
| 28724 A gong. |
| 28725 Forget it. I'll be on my way. |
| 28726 That's the particular one I'm looking for. |
| 28727 You have what you asked for; I will work for you. Beyond that, I will decide. None dictate what the work shall be. None. |
| 28728 'Tis the beastie that was the biggest problem, but you've gone an' handled that for me very nicely. I am quite grateful for it, to be sure. |
| 28729 There is nothing more exact you can say about what you are going to do? |
| 28730 Our business is concluded; the piece will be delivered when it is done. I will dispatch a messenger to collect my fee and tell your church of my decision. |
| 28731 Let me see what you have in your stores, then. |
| 28732 How grateful might you be? |
| 28733 How about rewarding me with something... say, a gong? |
| 28734 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 28735 Oh, do go away. I have agreed to your terms and will work for your church. Is that not enough? Leave me. |
| 28736 Ahhh, I see. Well, I'll tell you what... do a little favor for me, and I'll tell you whom I sold that particular gong to as well as where you can find 'em, aye? |
| 28737 Get on with ya, I don't deal with individuals. Bulk ore is what I sells. You need a few pebbles, you go scrounge it yourself. |
| 28738 What sort of favor? |
| 28739 You had better tell me where it is quickly, or I might just get very upset. |
| 28740 You interested in a bulk purchase of ore? I've got fine prices for masonry as well, and crafters that can build you everything from arches to overhangs. |
| 28741 Oho, I see. Well, that gong is no longer in my possession. Seeing as I owe you a wee bit for solving my little beastie problem, I'll be happy to tell you where it is. |
| 28742 I have need of illithium for Sir Sarles. How much would 200 pounds be worth? |
| 28743 Nothing, sorry I bothered you. |
| 28744 I sold it, through an envoy, to a troll shaman. Errr... Grae, I believe her name to be. Lives in a troll mound near Trademeet; ye can't miss it. |
| 28745 I'm looking for a rare metal suitable for sculpture. |
| 28746 S'all right friend. Come back when you need. |
| 28747 I can't imagine she's the type to receive visitors... an' I believe the mound to be guarded by trolls aplenty. But if ye want it, that's where it'd be. |
| 28748 Ain't but one sculptor that even bears mentioning in this town right now. You fishing to hire Sir Sarles? Overrated, he is. I suppose he wants illithium again too. How much this time? |
| 28749 It's a deal. |
| 28750 Sorry, not interested. |
| 28751 200 pounds. Is that going to be expensive? |
| 28752 I'm sure you have it in stock. He needs 200 pounds. |
| 28753 Heh heh. Looking for a reward, are we? Well, I can't say that it isn't deserved. Here... I have a few spare coins. 250 of them, all told. Thank ye kindly for the deed. |
| 28754 200 pounds! He's mad! Raving! Out of his mind! |
| 28755 Good tidings to you, young wayfarer. Welcome to the Mithrest Inn. How might I be of assistance? |
| 28756 Get rid o' the beastie that has been plaguing me about here... the sea troll t' be specific... an' I'll be pleased to tell you all I know. Aye? |
| 28757 So does this mean you don't have it in stock? |
| 28758 I'm sure your theatrics make it all worthwhile. What will the price be then? |
| 28759 Very well, I'll do it. |
| 28760 How about I just beat it out of you, instead? |
| 28761 Forget it. Not interested. |
| 28762 You don't know what is involved in getting illithium. I've an agreement with a rather special source, but there's only so much I'm allowed to take. 50 pounds a season at most. |
| 28763 I wish to peruse your selection of services, if I may. |
| 28764 50 pounds a season? I don't have that kind of time. |
| 28765 So this is a fruitless enterprise then? He has sent me on a merry little chase. |
| 28766 Ach, calm down, mate. You don't frighten me... I've dealt with harsher types than you. And besides... harming me won't find you out where the gong lies, now, will it? |
| 28767 I wish nothing at this time. |
| 28768 Is there aught of interest that you might tell me? Interesting goings-on? |
| 28769 I see. What is this favor you need done, then? |
| 28770 Hold on. It's difficult, but not impossible. There are two options to you. You can go to my source and try and ply the extra out of him, or you can use a... substitute. |
| 28771 Certainly, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 28772 You mean a cheaper metal as a replacement? Won't Sarles know? |
| 28773 Actually, it's not that important to me... I'd much rather just kill you! |
| 28774 Enjoy your time at the Mithrest. |
| 28775 Well, forget it, then. |
| 28776 Nothing of interest, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. This is a quiet place, and our customers prefer it that way. |
| 28777 Where is your source? I'm sure he will see reason. |
| 28778 Good, good. I could use some peace from the nasty devil. Come back when you've done the deed, then. He lives in the southwest corner of the sewers. |
| 28779 May I see a list of services? |
| 28780 His name is Unger Hilldark. He stays in the Copper Coronet when he's in town. Don't get him mad, will you? He's at enough of a risk just coming here. He's... he's duergar. |
| 28781 Well, as you wish, I suppose. I'm not about to twist your arm or anything. |
| 28782 Thank you. There is nothing else that I need. |
| 28783 *gulp* Er... how about I just start RUNNING FOR MY LIFE?! |
| 28784 Duergar? Where does a dwarf of such evil nature find sanctuary in Amn? |
| 28785 I don't deal with the likes of Duergar. What was that about a substitute? Wouldn't Sir Sarles know the difference? |
| 28786 Ah, well that is good. I shall see you once you are done, then. |
| 28787 Welcome to the Mithrest, <SIRMAAM>. Please see Pugney if you wish to partake of the lavish splendors of the Inn. |
| 28788 Well hello to you again, mate. I still notice that the beastie is runnin' around yet... are you not plannin' on finishing our deal? |
| 28789 No, no... I'll go back and finish the job. |
| 28790 Please enjoy your stay here, <LADYLORD>. |
| 28791 That's right... I've no interest in continuing this task. |
| 28792 I must not dally, <SIRMAAM>. I shall be fired if Pugney catches me shirking. |
| 28793 At the Copper Coronet, of course. It hides worse than him within. Besides, they have to eat too, you know. Nothing wrong with a mutually beneficial trading agreement. |
| 28794 I see. Well, 'tis a shame, but I'll not twist your arm, mate. |
| 28795 An excellent job, mate! Finally, my stores will be plenty safe from that troll's bug-eyed intrusions. Now, then... what was it again that you were lookin' for as a reward? |
| 28796 He's in disguise. His kind doesn't look all that different, and as long as he's left alone, he's fine. Not a bad guy, once you get to know him. |
| 28797 So I said to the baron, "Honestly, sir! You must learn to control yourself!" |
| 28798 You go talk to him. Tell him I sent you. Maybe he'll let you pull a little more illithium out of him than I can get. It won't be cheap though. |
| 28799 500 gold pieces. |
| 28800 Err... 1,000 gold pieces. |
| 28801 Thanks. I'll do that. |
| 28802 Perhaps I should try to get that substitute you mentioned as well. |
| 28803 Information on where I can find the gong. |
| 28804 Really? You're so brave! |
| 28805 Well, yes. I couldn't let that ogre push people about like serfs. |
| 28806 Good luck. You'll need it. Of course, you knew I would say that. |
| 28807 Did I promise that? Well, mate, here you go... an' thanks to you for a deed well done. Anything ye need in the future, don't be hesitating to look me up. |
| 28808 My dear, do you not find the crowds about Waukeen's quite overwhelming this year? |
| 28809 For all his pomp and balderdash, Sir Sarles wouldn't know quality materials if you beat him over the head with them. Now that's a fine image, eh? |
| 28810 Yes, the peasantry should not be allowed to walk about so freely. The stench alone makes me faint. |
| 28811 Heh... you must be thinkin' me mighty stupid, mate. If I remember right, I offered you 500 gold pieces. An' here it is... no need to be greedy, aye? |
| 28812 Enough of that. Anyway, I would wager that a derivative of illithium would serve just as well. Pure illithium is quite rare, but an alloy could be fashioned at a reasonable rate. |
| 28813 I shall have to have a word with the council. The commoners can do their shopping at night. I know that Lord Ophal agrees. |
| 28814 You must be a man of influence, m'lord. |
| 28815 I use it for the common good, my dear. |
| 28816 Ahhh... always good to speak to you, mate. What is it, exactly, that you need? |
| 28817 Why don't you stop by the manor tonight? I could show you my collection of Sunite statuary. |
| 28818 Oh, I don't see any reason to interrupt their plans. Why don't you come alone? |
| 28819 Show me what you have to sell, Roger. |
| 28820 Why are you down here in the sewers? |
| 28821 I'm looking for a gong, actually. |
| 28822 My parents would be delighted to come over! Thank you, count. |
| 28823 Nothing, really. |
| 28824 If you would like, m'lord. |
| 28825 With the countess away, you shall be MOST welcome at my manor. |
| 28826 How dare you approach a debutante, beggar! My father should have you flogged! |
| 28827 *hissss* You ugly pink little things! Why have you intruded on my land?! |
| 28828 Ye be lookin' a mite out o' place, <GIRLBOY>. What brings ye above yer station? Found a gold mine? |
| 28829 Because we destroy evil creatures like you! |
| 28830 Adventure and profit, troll. What other reason could there be? |
| 28831 Uh, yes... I should be getting back to it. Excuse me. |
| 28832 We seek a valuable gong that was sold to you by a fence in Amn... tell us where it is! |
| 28833 Whatever do you mean, sir? |
| 28834 I'm just looking for a place to sleep. |
| 28835 Bonny good luck, then! |
| 28836 You can ponder it while you die, troll! |
| 28837 *hissss* Then diiiieeee! |
| 28838 Look about ye. An evil eye from every corner unless ye be loaded with coinage. |
| 28839 *hissss* Fools! I will crush you with my magic! |
| 28840 Was kicked out of this place once or twice as a youth, 'fore I found a vein of mithral. |
| 28841 *hissss* Never! I shall tell you nothing! I shall crush you with my magic and watch your bodies crumble into dust! |
| 28842 Now the bastards fawn over me but horribly, all the while eying me purse. |
| 28843 *hissss* Wait! *gasp* I... I will tell you where the gong is! Mercy, humans! |
| 28844 The life of the nouveau rich is a hard one. |
| 28846 Tell us now, and we'll let you live! |
| 28847 Forget it! Die, troll! |
| 28848 *hissss* The gong... I sold it to Drush... an ogre magi. In the tower to the northeast, beside the house of the witch. He is gone, but said he would return today. |
| 28849 Beautiful tale. Excuse me. |
| 28850 Good for ye! Don't let the bastards look down their crooked noses at ye! |
| 28851 He may at that, but I will require compensation for revealing him to you. If word got out who and where my source was, I would be out of business. Make it worth my while. |
| 28852 What do you mean? |
| 28853 Very well. You may go, Grae. |
| 28854 I won't. Thanks for the advice. |
| 28855 You may or may not be telling the truth. Regardless, I cannot let a creature like you live. |
| 28856 It's your career, so how does 500 gold sound? |
| 28857 If this could ruin you, I should offer no less than 1,000 gold. |
| 28858 Come now. don't you wish to earn the favor of the Morninglord? |
| 28859 *hissss* NoooOOooo! |
| 28860 Aye, it is. You're not rolling in the coin, <PRO_GIRLBOY>? Trying to play with the high rollers? |
| 28861 *hissss* You are... honorable? I... I must flee! |
| 28862 The everseeing eye of Helm would look on you favorably if you help. |
| 28863 The storms of Talos would surely spare you amongst your neighbors if you help. |
| 28864 No, but I suspect that I can afford a room. |
| 28865 Yes, I am. They must treat me with respect now, the snoots! |
| 28866 *sniff sniff* Humanoids? Welcome, humanoids. Do you come in peace? |
| 28867 I cannot afford to pay you for this information. |
| 28868 Yes, we come in peace... why are you not attacking us? |
| 28869 An ogre! ATTACK! |
| 28870 I have no quarrel with humanoids, unless they have one with me first. I am a mage and would much rather be left to my studies. May I ask why you are here? |
| 28871 Perhaps I should just talk to your source about the real thing. He may help. |
| 28872 Perhaps I should just talk to your source about the real thing. |
| 28873 Sounds like a good idea. Can you fashion this alloy? |
| 28874 That depends... what are your intentions? |
| 28875 Just exploring, I suppose. |
| 28876 Actually... I'm looking for a particular gong. Grae the troll shaman supposedly sold it to you. |
| 28877 Far too many beggars about these days. Raise the taxes and force them to work, I say! |
| 28878 To rid the world of monsters like you! |
| 28879 No reason... I'll be on my way. |
| 28880 Sorry, but I follow Waukeen and the ways of the Merchants' Friend. She has been quiet of late, but I still feel her wisdom telling me that this would be a bad deal. |
| 28881 Blasted, vile, ignorant humanoids! Very well, then... feel my wrath! |
| 28882 Wouldn't you find the Copper Coronet more to your liking, peasant? |
| 28883 As you wish, humanoids. You are welcome here at any time, so long as your intentions are peaceful... perhaps I will see you once again. |
| 28884 I see. My kin have been here since the time of Umar... ever since then, the humans have come farther and farther out into these lands. Perhaps I should move on soon. It is something to consider. |
| 28885 Feel free to make yourselves at home... although I know that humanoids do not often find ogre tastes appealing. I would ask that you not steal anything, but beyond that, you are welcome. |
| 28886 By the gods! A gnome in the Mithrest! I shan't be visiting here again! |
| 28887 I am sorry, but I cannot give this information out without compensation. |
| 28888 A gong? Oh... that. Well, yes, I do have that... I saw it the last time I made a visit to the troll mound and thought it was of an adequate size to shovel cow dung. What do you need with it? |
| 28889 It sounds like the end of me for a mere pittance. No, that is not enough. |
| 28890 We wish to return it to its original owner. |
| 28891 Do not concern yourself with our reasons... The fact is that we wish to have the gong. |
| 28892 So, shall we discuss proper payment, or would you like to hear the substitute offer again? |
| 28893 You have the gong? Excellent. ATTACK! |
| 28894 Very well, I will offer 1,000 gold to compensate you. |
| 28895 Tell me of the substitute. |
| 28896 Forget it! Give me the gong now... or else! |
| 28897 *sigh* That is humanoids for you. Always blustering about. I suppose I should expect it by now. |
| 28898 Hmm. Well, I shall tell you what. I happen to have a need for a wand of frost. Find one and I'll trade you the gong for it. |
| 28899 I happen to have one here... Let's trade. |
| 28900 Where would I find a wand of frost? |
| 28901 Hmm... yes, this will do just fine. Here is the gong. Thank you. Um... sorry for the smell on the gong... can't be helped. Ol' Bessie here has a... problem... |
| 28902 I will require some measure of coin for the service. Tell you what I'll do. I'll get 200 pounds of the alloy together, and you can pick it up tomorrow. |
| 28903 Hmph. I don't know... where do you humanoids normally get such things? Do they not sell them in your cities? I am not an expert at your ways. |
| 28904 I suppose, if you wish, Adratha might have one. She is the witch that lives in house beside my tower. Other than that, find one on your own. Up to you. |
| 28905 I'll go and see if I can find one for you. |
| 28906 Forget it! Give me the gong now! |
| 28907 It is your custom, humanoids, to perform trade... is it not? I use this gong, even if it is not for something important. I expect something in return if I am going to give it up. |
| 28908 Fine. I happen to have a wand of frost here. Let's trade. |
| 28909 Fine. Where am I supposed to find this wand of frost? |
| 28910 All right, I'll go and try to track a wand down for you. |
| 28911 Enough of this nonsense! ATTACK! |
| 28912 Actually, I have a wand here. Let's trade. |
| 28913 Very well. I shall be here when you return. |
| 28914 Hello there again, humanoid. Have you found me a wand of frost? |
| 28915 Yes, I have. Here... let's trade. |
| 28916 No, I haven't. And I'm not going to look for it anymore. |
| 28917 No... but you're going to give me that gong... right NOW. |
| 28918 No... but I'm going to keep looking. |
| 28919 As you will. You humanoids are such strange creatures sometimes. |
| 28920 Greetings, humanoid. Make yourself welcome, as I have said earlier. Please excuse me, however... I am quite busy at the moment. |
| 28921 Greetings again, humanoid. Is there something you needed? |
| 28922 I need a gong that is apparently in your possession. |
| 28923 I don't understand... why aren't you attacking me? |
| 28924 No... I'll be on my way. |
| 28925 Greetings to you, my <BROTHERSISTER>, and welcome to a refuge for the suffering and those in need. Ilmater offers shelter and healing to all who desire it... what is it that I can do for you? |
| 28926 I would like to see your services. |
| 28927 Tell me about Ilmater, if you could. |
| 28928 Nothing, actually. |
| 28929 Of course, my <BROTHERSISTER>... please come with me. |
| 28930 Ilmater is kind and good, aiding those in need. We are taught to help all, no matter who they are. The holy take on the burden of others. |
| 28931 As you can see, there is much call for the Crying God's compassion here in Athkatla. We would ask that you give, if you can afford... if not, it is no matter. |
| 28932 Could I see your services? |
| 28933 You just be sure to have 200 gold ready. You'll agree that the price is very reasonable. Alloy requires very little illithium, so it is quite inexpensive. |
| 28934 I see. I shall be going. |
| 28935 May Ilmater watch over you, my <BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 28936 200 gold? I thought this was the cheap solution. |
| 28937 Very well. I will return tomorrow. |
| 28938 It is, at least compared to the price of my telling you my source and then you doing whatever he required. Take it or leave it; I'll be here tomorrow with the goods. |
| 28939 I will be here in a day. |
| 28940 Those mercenaries on the second floor are a loud, rude bunch, they is! |
| 28941 Well now, you've returned. I've got the alloy that you wanted. Looks just like illithium, and it has most of the same properties as well. There's just a slight problem. |
| 28942 Have you seen the theater at the Five Flagons? I hear the troupe there puts on quite an excellent show. |
| 28943 Tsk. The thievery in the city's been mighty terrible of late. A halfling friend of my wife's had her son killed by a burglar, of all things. |
| 28944 And what might that be? |
| 28945 Problem? We had a deal. |
| 28946 I hear there's been several kidnappings within the last few months... and none of them ever turned up, even though the ransom was paid! |
| 28947 The weather's been quite foul over the last few weeks... storms, hail, and fog aplenty. It's a wonder we get any sea traffic at all. |
| 28948 Customer |
| 28949 *sigh* I wanted to go to the gambling hall tonight, but it seems to be closed. Bloody guardsmen. |
| 28950 Customer |
| 28951 Athkatla is a hot, wet city of filth and corruption. If it weren't for the merchant houses and the work I get, I'd leave in a second! |
| 28952 There is little enough waiting for you in other places, my friend. Perhaps you could devote your efforts towards improving matters here instead. |
| 28953 You there! You're one of them members of that Sacred Heart order, aren't you? Why don't you do something to stop this city from going to rot?! |
| 28954 It is called the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, fool. And we do more to battle evil than you could comprehend. Look to your own actions first before you look to others'. |
| 28955 My goodness... so many men in uniforms here, I hardly know where to start! |
| 28956 Have you seen those delightful mercenaries from Riatavin on the second floor? Oooh, I almost swoon at the thought! |
| 28957 This area simply isn't safe for a woman to walk around in anymore. The priests say that Faerûn is coming to an end, and I believe them! |
| 28958 Why must this inn always be crowded with brainless debutantes? Have you seen Alicia? |
| 28959 One of the off-duty guards has been staring at me the entire evening. What I wouldn't do to just touch his Amnian crest... |
| 28960 It "might" be that I have been approached by no less than two other churches for illithium of their own. It seems they are courting Sarles as well. |
| 28961 Sometimes I wonder why I come here. This whole area stinks of fish and sailors. Mind you, the sailors can be a plus... |
| 28962 Who is Alicia? |
| 28963 I have seen her, yes. |
| 28964 I know we had a deal, but the market has changed drastically in the last few hours. I have been approached by two other churches for illithium of their own. It seems they are courting Sarles as well. |
| 28965 Please excuse me, I'm too busy to speak with you. |
| 28966 Hmph. I've been pickpocketed twice in the last week. Even when I stored some coins in my corset! There are thieves everywhere! |
| 28967 Alicia is the daughter of Baroness Paalater. See how she fawns over Count Claylan? |
| 28968 I'm afraid you are in competition with both the temple of Helm and the temple of Talos. They both seem very determined. |
| 28969 I'm afraid you are in competition with both the temple of Lathander and the temple of Talos. They both seem very determined. |
| 28970 I'm afraid you are in competition with both the temple of Lathander and the temple of Helm. They both seem very determined. |
| 28971 Mmmm... you there... you're a Thayan, aren't you? I've heard some very good things about the men from Thay... |
| 28972 Calbor |
| 28973 A bit annoying, is she? |
| 28974 Calbor |
| 28975 I don't know what you're talking about. |
| 28976 They are all true, I assure you. But you are a peasant of insignificant stock, so begone with your commoner filth, woman! |
| 28977 Please excuse me, I'm too busy to speak with you. |
| 28978 Eeek! Wh... who pinched me? How rude! |
| 28979 She's foolish to even be speaking with that shark, Claylan. He has a nose for idiot girls. |
| 28980 Don't worry, I have honored my deal, and you get the first shot at the alloy I have made. I didn't even tell them about it. I cannot make any more until I get more illithium, so they are out of luck. |
| 28981 He will tire of her company within a week and leave her heartbroken. He did the very same thing to me. |
| 28982 Heh. There do be certain advantages to possessing a smaller stature... foremost among them be easier access to the honeypot pleasures of the female. Heh heh. |
| 28983 My price has to be higher though. You understand the pressures of the market, don't you? Well, I must ask for 500 gold instead of 200. It is still quite reasonable. |
| 28984 I have no choice. I will pay. |
| 28985 This is highly unreasonable of you. I will report you as a cheat! |
| 28986 I cannot afford this right now. |
| 28987 Very well. Begone! |
| 28988 *mumble* ...mmm... where be the lil serving wench?... |
| 28989 The man is a swine! Leave me now. I need to arrange to have his wine mixed with the slop water. |
| 28990 *mumble* ...eh? Who be you? You nar be me wife, are ye? ...*shudder*... I nay'er want t' see that battleaxe tonight, aye?... |
| 28991 Prices are subject to change without notice. I have done you a favor in even suggesting this at all. Take it or leave it. I have others lined up. |
| 28992 *mumble* ...have a seat if ye likes... |
| 28993 *mumble* ...buy me an ale, aye? ... |
| 28994 I have no choice. I will take it. |
| 28995 I cannot afford this yet. Will you wait? |
| 28996 I would never come to this soddish place, but our goods have been stolen! We are waiting for our servant to come with the carriage. |
| 28997 Ew... a commoner peasant! Out, out at once! |
| 28998 Then return when you can. I will wait if you are sure to return. |
| 28999 Excuse me, my <LADYLORD>... but this IS our room you are intruding into? I would request that you leave. |
| 29000 Oh, it's not so bad now, is it? You've got a close approximation of what you need, and I have fair compensation for the demand on the item. |
| 29001 Hmm... you wouldn't be the room service, would you? |
| 29002 Go on, I'm sure Sarles will be waiting. |
| 29003 For this price, I might as well have asked about your source and gotten it myself. |
| 29004 The price for that knowledge is 1,000 gold. Do you wish to pay that instead? |
| 29005 Oh dear, not another street ruffian. Darling, we did remember to offer a donation to Ilmater, correct? This is not a small legion of beggars to take retribution, yes? |
| 29006 Couldn't agree more, m'lady. Cursed big-nosed twerps have the run of the land, and they're still allowed into the Mithrest! Truly disturbing. |
| 29007 For this price, I might as well have asked about your source and gotten it myself. |
| 29008 But you are a gnome! You're a smelly big-nosed little gnome! |
| 29009 Yes, I will. |
| 29010 No, I can't afford either. |
| 29011 I'll just take the ore for 500. |
| 29012 I'll pay for that alloy substitute as well. |
| 29013 Don't poke fun at <CHARNAME>; <PRO_HESHE>'s got a delicate disposition! |
| 29014 Stop it, you freakish little man! Get away! Get away! |
| 29015 Tsk, tsk. Not even a challenge anymore. The big folk are getting more than a little inbred. |
| 29016 Do you have the 500 gold yet? That alloy is burning a hole in my pocket. |
| 29017 Yes, I have no choice. |
| 29018 No, I cannot afford it. |
| 29019 Perhaps I should just ask about your source. That was 1,000 gold, wasn't it? |
| 29020 Elanda |
| 29021 Elanda |
| 29022 Why, hello there... so nice to see someone of decent culture in this little horrid inn. Too bad we have no servants with us to host you properly. |
| 29023 I cannot wait until our coachman arrives to take us away from here! Robbed and left in an area where there have been murders! Of all things! |
| 29024 Amnian Guard |
| 29025 Ah... if you are one of the servants, I would like a cup of elven wine, please. And perhaps a bit of pheasant, too... I'm feeling peckish. |
| 29026 Amnian Guard |
| 29027 I wish someone would do something about those horrid men on the second floor! They leered at me so, it was terrifying! |
| 29028 A pleasure doing business with you. |
| 29029 I am but a destitute man, an' the Crying God has shown me mercy an' given me shelter! |
| 29030 I have no home but th' mud in th' streets... except that I am allowed t' stay in the temple sometimes. |
| 29031 Praise be to Ilmater! |
| 29032 Please, me <LADYLORD>... could ye spare a bit o' coin for a sinner in need? Please... but a single coin would do! |
| 29033 Certainly, take a gold piece. |
| 29034 I'm sorry, I can afford nothing. |
| 29035 Get away from me, you rotten beggar! |
| 29036 Ilmater's blessing upon ye, me <LADYLORD>! |
| 29037 I... understand, my <LADYLORD>. Go in peace wi' ye. |
| 29038 This be the house o' the Crying God, and ye treats me wi' scorn? Ye are a black soul indeed! |
| 29039 This be a sacred church of Ilmater! All are welcome and treated with kindness and dignity! You are unwelcome here if you cannot treat others as equals. Leave this place. |
| 29040 I shall not deal with those who cannot show respect to one so obviously in need. Please leave this holy place, my <BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 29041 Perhaps a donation of 100 gold pieces would restore myself in Ilmater's eyes? |
| 29042 I meant nothing by it, Brother. |
| 29043 Fine, I'll go. |
| 29044 *sigh* It will serve to aid those that you have scorned, my <BROTHERSISTER>. Please do not do so again in the future. |
| 29045 Then your unkindness was thoughtless and undeserved. Please... go. |
| 29046 Dawnmaster Kreel |
| 29047 Go in peace, <BROTHERSISTER>, and think about your deeds this day. |
| 29048 Dawnmaster Kreel |
| 29049 Away from me, you black-hearted <MANWOMAN>. |
| 29050 Praise be to Ilmater! |
| 29051 I have seen the Crying God heal many... and demand nothing in return. He is a glorious and benevolent god indeed. |
| 29052 Ilmater helps those in need... all of us in the slums could use his aid, I think. |
| 29053 You are back. I have not appreciated the wait you put me through. You had better have a good reason for keeping me so long. |
| 29054 Praise Oghma, the beneficent master of knowledge, invention, and inspiration. Come, seeker, and be welcome within his temple. What can I provide for you? |
| 29055 I ran into some opposition from another church. Here is your illithium though. |
| 29056 The best of reasons. I wanted to make sure you got the best quality material! |
| 29057 I am sorry, but I couldn't get illithium. This alloy is the best I could manage. |
| 29058 I would like to see your services. |
| 29059 I don't need anything. |
| 29060 Then go in peace and strive for greater understanding, seeker. |
| 29061 Fine, fine, I don't really care. Let's have a look at what you have brought. Ahh, illithium. It is a fine specimen, isn't it? Smelted to remove impurities, I see. |
| 29062 An idea is a powerful thing, seeker. It can sweep across Faerûn faster than a man can ride. Ideas are tools and knowledge is power... |
| 29063 Ahh, illithium ore in its rawest form. Can you feel the primal energy wafting off of it? It practically screams for a firm hand to shape it... mold it... caress it... |
| 29064 Oghma teaches that knowledge must be collected and disseminated, and wisdom applied to its use. The Wise God teaches that ideas must never be stifled. |
| 29065 It is smooth, yes? Almost translucent as well. Such a magnificent material. Done and done; I will shape this for your church. They will be pleased with the result, I am sure. |
| 29066 Could I see your services? |
| 29067 Now out with you. I will polish away this grime of your hands and see what is inside waiting for me. Go, and I will deliver it when it is ready. |
| 29068 I'll be going now. |
| 29069 Can you tell me about Oghma? |
| 29070 Of course, seeker. All should benefit from greater wisdom and understanding. |
| 29071 Wait. |
| 29072 Wait just one moment. I must polish this? |
| 29073 This is not illithium! You have cheated my art! Illithium holds no oil or grime! A handprint on illithium is an impossibility! |
| 29074 I am here to strive for greater knowledge, to bask in the great inspiration that is the will of Oghma. |
| 29075 We seek to spread knowledge and to curb falsehood and rumor... especially with regards to history. |
| 29076 Come now, Sir Sarles. It has the same consistency. Could you not make do? |
| 29077 Illithium is unattainable! It was this or nothing! |
| 29078 You were pleased a moment ago. Perhaps you simply are out of ideas! |
| 29079 The things that are studied in the Oghmanyte orders are far beyond most people's comprehension. We shall teach them... in time. |
| 29080 Praise be to the Lord of Knowledge! |
| 29081 I apologize most profusely. I tried to honor your wishes as best I could. |
| 29082 Make do? Make do?! Did the gods make do when they created the realms? Did they use substandard materials?! No, they would not stoop so low! |
| 29083 Greetings, my <BROTHERSISTER>, and welcome to the humble abode of the One Who Endures. Ilmater shelters all in need and suffers himself for others' pain. |
| 29084 I would like to see your services. |
| 29085 Of course, my <BROTHERSISTER>... please come with me. |
| 29086 Tell me about Ilmater, if you could. |
| 29087 And yet you have failed miserably! I would have trusted my artistic visions to you, and you have chosen to swindle me?! |
| 29088 Ilmater is the god of compassion and endurance, my <BROTHERSISTER>. We care for the lost children of the city. Such is the Crying God's will. |
| 29089 Could I see your services? |
| 29090 I see. I shall be going. |
| 29091 May Ilmater watch over you, my <BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 29092 I see. I shall be going. |
| 29093 Such an insult! These hands have created works of art that would make your heart stop with joy! They will work many more wonders, but not here! |
| 29094 The most important element of illithium is that it will bear no dirt or grime! Cast as illithium, my work need never show the taint of another mortal's hands! |
| 29095 My mommy and daddy died a long time ago, when I was a little baby. |
| 29096 Perhaps in strength or feel, but what does a fumbling forge-monkey know about the beauty of the ever smudgeless surface of true illithium? This... this is garbage! |
| 29097 Then it should have been nothing! I have made my wishes clear, and you have made a mockery of them! |
| 29098 You look like you've got a lot of wealth, <SIRMAAM>. You aren't here to find a new son, are you? |
| 29099 I can hardly ever sleep well... I have bad dreams in the night. But sometimes Ilmater comes to me and comforts me, and I sleep real good. |
| 29100 I was assured it had the same attributes as your metal. |
| 29101 A master of the forge told me there would be no difference. |
| 29102 Gosh, <PRO_SIRMAAM>... could you... afford a little gold piece? I am so hungry, and it's hours until we eat... |
| 29103 Certainly, child. Here you go. |
| 29104 I'm afraid I can afford to give you nothing. |
| 29105 Begone, boy! I'll not suffer beggars! |
| 29106 I will not work for you or any other! This city has insulted my work! I will leave at once! Coachman! My bags! My muse! |
| 29107 Oh, thank you! Thank you! |
| 29108 Yes, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 29109 ...I... yes, <SIRMAAM>... I'm s-sorry... |
| 29110 My mommy died giving me birth, and my daddy died in the war. They left me all alone... an' I was sent here. |
| 29111 It's not so bad here. Sister Venenna treats us real nice. We even got little sweetcakes yesterday, and they were real good! |
| 29112 Sister Venenna always complains that the merchants don't give enough. None of them ever like it when we go outside. |
| 29113 *sniff* ...<PRO_SIRMAAM>? Please, could I beg a gold piece of you? Please, please? |
| 29114 Certainly, child. Here you go. |
| 29115 You are most kind! Ilmater's blessing on you, <SIRMAAM>! |
| 29116 I'm afraid I can afford to give you nothing. |
| 29117 Yes, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 29118 Begone, boy! I'll not suffer beggars! |
| 29119 ...I... I'm sorry... I just want my mommy... |
| 29120 What is it, <CHARNAME>? You look downtrodden. How goes your quest to please Sir Sarles? |
| 29121 He has left. I tried to appease him with this illithium alloy, but I failed. |
| 29122 He has refused to work for anyone, despite all that I did for him. |
| 29123 He has proven unreasonable. I did everything he asked! |
| 29124 Welcome to the temple of Helm, my <LADYLORD>. Helm is the watcher and the guardian, protector of all who require his benevolent presence. Be safe, my <LADYLORD>, and be welcome. |
| 29125 I would speak with the favored of Lathander. I would speak to <CHARNAME>. |
| 29126 I would like to see your services. |
| 29127 I'll be on my way. |
| 29128 Of course, my <LADYLORD>. Helm's duty is provided to all. |
| 29129 Walk in safety, my <LADYLORD>, and may Helm watch over you. |
| 29130 I see. You have done all you can; there is no shame in that. We will wait for another artist to accept a commission. Perhaps they can use this alloy... |
| 29131 Dawnbringer, I see you have the latest in your artistic acquisitions. Another tribute to the Morninglord from a local artisan? |
| 29132 That was the intent, Mornmaster, but there has been a setback or two. |
| 29133 I don't see why. This new piece is a welcome understatement. Looks as though it represents the shadows receding from the dawn. Fine work. |
| 29134 Vittorio |
| 29135 Vittorio |
| 29136 Captain Dennis |
| 29137 Captain Dennis |
| 29138 Looks a bit like an illithium derivative? Good. Smudge it up occasionally. We need make-work cleaning to keep the penitents busy. Carry on, Dawnbringer. |
| 29139 Y-yes, Mornmaster Arval. |
| 29140 W-well, <CHARNAME>, by the grace of Lathander, all has worked out for the best! You have obviously been touched by the Morninglord. |
| 29142 It has been an honor to serve. |
| 29143 A welcome end to a trying experience. |
| 29144 Don't be bothering me, little one. I'm not in a pleasant mood this morn. |
| 29145 What are you staring at? Ain't illegal to be a dwarf, last I heard. Take your eyes off of me and put them someplace safe. |
| 29146 Mercenary of Riatavin |
| 29147 Mercenary of Riatavin |
| 29148 I trust you got on with Unger? Don't go telling me that you buggered up my only source for illithium. |
| 29149 Everything is fine. Sorry to bother you. |
| 29150 I wanted to ask about that substitute for illithium. |
| 29151 Ahh, but you're not an ordinary dwarf, are you? Not by a long shot. |
| 29152 No need for hostilities. Jerlia sent me. I wish to discuss illithium. |
| 29153 Sorry to have disturbed you, though it seems you were disturbed already. |
| 29154 I don't like your tone. If you've got something to say, best you say it now before you lose the ability! |
| 29155 You heard me, duergar. You should listen to what I say. I need illithium. |
| 29156 No need to get angry, I meant no offense. Jerlia sent me. I need illithium. |
| 29157 I apologize completely. I'll be going now. |
| 29158 Roger the Fence |
| 29159 Roger the Fence |
| 29160 Move along, "kin." I don't have anything to say to you, despite your height. |
| 29161 And I know why. You are no more my kin than the drow are. |
| 29162 No need for hostilities. Jerlia sent me. I wish to discuss illithium. |
| 29163 Sorry to have bothered you. I'll leave you well and truly alone. |
| 29164 Your words are nothing. Keep them to yourself; they are all you will receive from me. |
| 29165 She did, did she? I'll have to have a chat with the lass. I trust you paid her enough that there will be some for her to split with me. She will see that it is wise to do so. |
| 29166 So you seek illithium, do you? I have none, and I won't be getting any anytime soon. Now that that is out of the way, Goodbye. |
| 29167 Please. It is for the glory of Lathander that I speak with you. |
| 29168 It is the glory of Helm that I serve. Please reconsider. |
| 29169 I serve the fury of Talos. Reconsider, lest he punish us both in the end. |
| 29170 Wait. This could be very profitable for you. Won't you reconsider? |
| 29171 I think you'll stay and talk, duergar! You wouldn't want me shouting about you. |
| 29172 Drush |
| 29173 Drush |
| 29174 Grae |
| 29175 Grae |
| 29176 It doesn't matter, fool. I don't HAVE any illithium. It's that simple. My source is inaccessible, and you aren't getting any. Get angry if you wish, but it won't help. |
| 29177 Your gods mean little to me. May as well be for the glory of the chair I'm sitting on. I could go on and on about how little I care for the fate of you or what you worship, but it's pointless. |
| 29178 I know of Talos. Many interesting ideas. Doesn't concern me in the least, but it's still interesting. |
| 29179 You plan on announcing that I am duergar in the hopes that I will change my tone? None in here would move against me, and you'll never get me out in the light. Besides, it's pointless. |
| 29180 You sound like this was not a planned shortage. What is the problem? |
| 29181 Can't handle your own supply, huh? I guess you're just unreliable. |
| 29182 Then what WILL help? This is very important. |
| 29183 Oh, so now you wish to be my friend? Why should I bother with you at all? |
| 29184 I'm not interested in harming a simple merchant. Where else will you get help? |
| 29185 You can't fix your problem, or you would have illithium. What else can you do? |
| 29186 I bet that it is, but I cannot do anything about it. I cannot provide what you need, and I have no means to change that. I also have no reason to believe you will help me. |
| 29187 Tell me, if you will, why I should bother to trust you with my problems? |
| 29188 I'm not interested in harming a simple merchant. Where else will you get help? |
| 29189 You will do no good with your petty insults. You have no illithium, and I have no illithium. You would do better to help me, but I have no reason to believe you will. |
| 29190 You can't fix your problem, or you would have illithium. What else can you do? |
| 29191 Nowhere. This place is unfriendly to even the pathetic dwarves of hill and mountain. All right, fool, if you wish to share my problem, I'll give it to you. |
| 29192 Nothing. Very few opportunities for mercantile trade in this place when you are even a hill or mountain dwarf. All right, fool, you wish to share my problem, I'll give it to you. |
| 29193 You want illithium, you can wait for it. We mine it deep in the earth, and it's dangerous going. It's rare enough when production is normal. |
| 29194 This is all useless information though, because my latest shipment was stolen from under me! So there's no illithium for anyone for another season or more! |
| 29195 I'll exact justice for you. I'll take the illithium I need and leave the bandit dead. |
| 29196 I'll get the illithium myself then. Bandits? Bah! No trouble for me. |
| 29197 Maybe I should try and have a talk with the person that robbed you. |
| 29198 You want to go chasing after him, that's your business. It's lost to me anyway. I show my face, and he'll have the guards on me just for being duergar. |
| 29199 Ah HAH! |
| 29200 The portal opens, and a wave of pure fear washes over you. Icy tendrils of power grip your skull, and your vision swims. Something steps through the portal. |
| 29201 The smell of sulfur assails your nostrils as the portal opens. A gigantic claw reaches out and grips the edge of the portal. The demon pulls itself through and attacks. |
| 29202 Ah! ...Missed! |
| 29203 This isn't working! |
| 29204 I simply have no room. Your item is on the ground. |
| 29205 Hello, fool. Stay out of my way, will you? Healthiest thing for both of us. |
| 29206 Shocking Grasp |
| 29207 Spider Spawn |
| 29208 Spider Spawn (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 4 Range: 120 ft. Duration: 6 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Upon casting this spell, the wizard must throw several spider eggs into the air while saying the final command word. The result is that the eggs morph into a fully grown spider that will remain under the wizard's telepathic control. The type of spider that appears depends upon the level of the wizard casting the spell. 7th: giant spider. 9th: phase spider. 12th+: sword spider. When the spell is cast, there is a 20% chance that two spiders of the proper type will appear instead of just one. These spiders will remain under the wizard's control until they are slain, or until the spell duration expires. |
| 29209 Mutated Crawler |
| 29210 Mutated Crawler |
| 29211 Carrion Summons |
| 29212 Carrion Summons (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 6 Range: 120 ft. Duration: 7 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None There are two parts to this spell. First, a small portal opens and summons 1d2 carrion crawlers to a point designated by the wizard. Second, the magic mutates the carrion crawlers into larger, more vicious versions of themselves. The wizard now has control over these creature(s) until they are slain or the spell's duration expires. There is a 35% chance that two carrion crawlers will be summoned instead of one. |
| 29213 Summon Nishruu |
| 29214 Summon Nishruu (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 6 Range: 120 ft. Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None By casting the Summon Nishruu spell, a wizard calls into existence a magical being of considerable power: the nishruu. At first glance, this appears to be some sort of mist, but upon closer examination, this boiling, churning red mass of vapors and shapes moves with a life of its own. Drawn toward magic like a moth to the flame, the nishruu feed on the energies surrounding and used by wizards. Luckily, there is no question as to the loyalty of the creature, and it will not attack its summoner even though it would like nothing better. The nishruu have no physical attacks at all, although physical attacks can hurt them. Each time a nishruu touches a target wizard and wraps its tendrils around him, the wizard loses 1 random spell of the highest level currently memorized. The nishruu is completely immune to magic (except for Death Spell), and magic will actually heal it. The creature will remain under the wizard's control until slain or until the spell's duration expires. |
| 29215 Summon Efreeti |
| 29216 Summon Efreeti (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Range: 120 ft. Duration: 8 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None With this spell, the wizard can cajole an efreetiâ€â€a massive genie with powerful abilitiesâ€â€to leave the Elemental Plane of Fire and enter the Prime Material. The efreeti will serve the caster for the duration of the spell, attacking <PRO_HISHER> enemies. |
| 29217 Summon Djinni |
| 29218 Summon Djinni (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Range: 120 ft. Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None With this spell, the wizard can cajole a djinniâ€â€a massive genie with powerful abilitiesâ€â€to leave the Elemental Plane of Air and enter the Prime Material. The djinni will serve the caster for the duration of the spell, attacking <PRO_HISHER> enemies. |
| 29219 Summon Hakeashar |
| 29220 Summon Hakeashar (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Range: 120 ft. Duration: 8 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell is similar to the 6th-level wizard spell Summon Nishruu. The hakeashar, in fact, is a more powerful version of the nishruu, with more Hit Points, better attacks, and immunity to normal weapons. By casting the Summon Hakeashar spell, the wizard calls into existence a magical being of considerable power: the hakeashar. At first glance, this appears to be some sort of mist, but upon closer examination, this boiling, churning gray mass of vapors and shapes moves with a life of its own. Drawn toward magic like a moth to the flame, the hakeashar feeds on the energies surrounding and used by wizards. Luckily, there is no question as to the loyalty of the creature and it will not attack its summoner even though it would like nothing better. The hakeashar has no physical attacks at all, although physical attacks can hurt them. Each time a hakeashar touches a target wizard and wraps its tendrils around him, two things happen: First, all magical items with charges in the possession of the target will be drained by 1 charge, destroying them if only 1 charge was left; second, it causes the wizard to lose 1 random spell of the highest level currently memorized. The hakeashar is completely immune to magic, and magic will actually heal it. The creature will remain under the wizard's control until slain or the spell's duration expires. |
| 29221 Lower Resistance (Abjuration) Level: 5 Range: 40 ft. Duration: 9 rounds + 1 round/level after 9th Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When cast upon a target creature, this spell will lower the Magic Resistance of this creature by 10% + 1% per level of the caster. There is no Saving Throw, and the target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell. For example, if a creature has 60% Magic Resistance and this spell is cast on it by a 15th-level Mage, then the target's Magic Resistance would be lowered by 25% automatically. This effect is cumulative for each casting of this spell: If Lower Resistance was cast upon the same creature again, the creature's Magic Resistance would be 60% - 25% (initial casting) - 25% (current casting), which would leave the creature with 10% Magic Resistance. This spell will last until its duration expires and cannot be dispelled. |
| 29222 Helm looks to you with favor for what you have done. I have a task that needs completion if you seek his further gratitude. |
| 29223 We need a vassal to carry our wrath! You there! You look like you fear the proper lord! I offer the chance to be the instrument of vengeance for the Stormlord! |
| 29224 Follow with all haste to the temple of Talos. There I will tell what is required of you. Do not stress our patience with a late arrival! |
| 29225 Finally! You have arrived! I was about to order you flogged for your slowness, but there is no time for that now. |
| 29226 Ehh, you are without focus. No matter, I can tell you are the kind that will serve Talos well. We must work together against the usurping of the darkness. |
| 29227 I will help if I can, so long as it is profitable for both of us. |
| 29228 I can make no guarantee of service until I know what you want. |
| 29229 We shall see. I shall do what is best for me first and foremost. |
| 29230 You hear the ranting of that fool in the street? His tales are blasphemous, and it must be determined whether he seeks to usurp power from us. |
| 29231 Was he telling the truth? I would not want to oppose a powerful new enemy. |
| 29232 I will do what I can to help against the heathen. What do you require? |
| 29233 He seemed to prey on people's need for security. Can't you offer the same? |
| 29234 There is no time for hesitations; do as the Storm Lord bids. Joining our ranks can be extremely beneficial; opposing them is deadly. Listen well to your task. |
| 29235 What Talos bids is what is best for you. We employ some large egos, but do not presume to be more important than you are. Listen to your task and listen well. |
| 29236 New deities are not unheard of, but they begin weak and pathetic. Even if this alley-prophet spoke truth, his lord would be in no position to defend against us. |
| 29237 The truth eludes us yet. Talos has granted no insight, preferring to test our resolve. We must investigate our missing brethren and eliminate any threat. |
| 29238 Then I will do what I must. Have you any more details of what is required? |
| 29239 Does this false prophet offer more to your followers than you can? |
| 29240 This is not my problem. I will not risk angering a deity. I refuse. |
| 29241 We were to interrogate some that chose this new "faith," but they are never seen again once they go. You must investigate their temple and report what is happening. |
| 29242 Our younger members do not realize the danger of leaving Talos. They do not think long term. Even Talos has patience and plans; they seek quicker gains. |
| 29243 Young fools want a god to walk with them, but that is not the way. It demeans a god to walk with the flock, just as if I supped with insects. |
| 29244 Then this man's claims are blasphemous lies. What must I do? |
| 29245 What if this new god is for real? Is it wise to anger such a powerful being? |
| 29246 I will not risk this. I will not help you. |
| 29247 Visions indicate that most of their flock are underground and nearby, but we see nothing beyond the sewers. Get in with lies or force, whichever is suitable. The entrances to the sewers are marked on your map. |
| 29248 You must wade through the filth of the sewers and find these fools. They are certainly not nestled amidst the pipes, so there must be a passage to them. |
| 29249 You need not ask twice. I will return with answers or their heads. |
| 29250 I will help, but what shall be my reward? Faith alone cannot fill my stomach. |
| 29251 I will not lower myself to traveling through the sewers. I refuse. |
| 29252 Then may the force of Talos destroy those in your path. The services of the temple are here for you. Demand service from an acolyte, and you will receive it. |
| 29253 We would reinforce you with Talons, but we must guard against a real temple, something you will help with later. For now, I wish you the mercy of Talos. |
| 29254 Talos pays with each breath he lets you to take in his service. You will do this to demonstrate your worth; we will discuss a reward when you are successful. |
| 29255 Then I will not help you. I will know my payment first. |
| 29256 That is sufficient. I will help. |
| 29257 You worry of angering this upstart cult, and yet you risk the wrath of Talos by refusing him? This is puzzling, if not entirely stupid! |
| 29258 Normally, you would be dead on the spot, but we have not resources to deal with this cult right now. Return when you are willing to help. Refuse at your peril. |
| 29259 Talos sees that you have come to beg his forgiveness and serve, as you should. A wise decision. |
| 29260 I have not changed my mind. |
| 29261 Repeat what it was that you required. |
| 29262 Yes, I will help you. |
| 29263 What have you to say to us? Have you found the fools that dared to claim the followers of Talos? |
| 29264 I have nothing to report just yet. |
| 29265 I have met with some. The fools put their eyes out in reverence to their lord! |
| 29266 It is a beholder cult! The "worshippers" are probably magically enslaved. |
| 29267 It was a beholder cult, but I have destroyed the beast and all of its plans! |
| 29268 Then keep looking! Talos demands adequate service from you! Do not fail him! |
| 29269 We thought the fool prophet to be exaggerating when he said as much. They will be weak without their eyes. Is there anything else? |
| 29270 It is a beholder cult! The "worshippers" are probably magically enslaved. |
| 29271 It was a beholder cult, but I have destroyed the beast and all of its plans! |
| 29272 I have nothing else to say just yet. |
| 29273 A beholder cult? Well, it would be amusing to watch develop, but stealing Talos's followers is inexcusable. Why would this beast risk angering the Storm Lord? |
| 29274 This creature must be destroyed and its bloody carcass stuffed and put on display to show the might of Talos. You must kill this... this thing. I care not how. |
| 29275 May the Destroyer guide your hand in the battle to come. |
| 29276 A beholder cult? A pity we couldn't have watched the inevitable chaos. Talos might have been pleased, but the theft of his followers could not be forgiven. |
| 29277 We will dispense some acolytes to destroy any survivors and make well and truly sure that their final rest is not an easy one. |
| 29278 Now then, to your fate. You have served the greater glory of Talos, such that none will oppose him in like manner again. Your reward will be beyond coin or trinket. |
| 29279 Serving Talos and living through the experience was reward enough. |
| 29280 I deserve everything I have earned. Talos knows this. |
| 29281 You will stand with Talos against what comes. Your faith will be given purpose and meaning. You will know the fear of your responsibilities. |
| 29282 You have safe haven within this temple, with a space of your own in which to worship. Acolyte Vilon will inform you of your duties. Talk to him when we are done here. |
| 29283 It is my great honor to give my life to Talos, the Storm Lord. |
| 29284 I will remain my own person. I refuse this "gift." |
| 29285 Then know the thoughts of the Storm Lord. Life is random and chaotic, so grab what you can, as who can say when Talos will strike and send you to the afterlife? |
| 29286 Preach the might of Talos, so everyone knows Talos is to be worshipped by all, that he MUST be, or he will destroy all life with the forces at his command. |
| 29287 Make all fear Talos by showing the destruction he causes. Only acceptance of the Storm Lord can spare his wrath, and even then you must do as he wills. |
| 29288 These are the guidelines in which you live. Welcome to your place in the house of Talos. Let it be known whom <CHARNAME> serves! |
| 29289 You refuse? You are truly mad to do so! Talos chooses you! Do you make a liar of the Destroyer? |
| 29290 I do not wish to join with Talos. |
| 29291 I beg forgiveness! Talos will be my lord! |
| 29292 Insanity! You... you tempt the fates like a mad<PRO_MANWOMAN>! Perhaps you will serve with your mindlessness, but you will never be of the chosen. |
| 29293 Talos would have welcomed you to the ranks of his chosen, but you have turned away. Madness. |
| 29294 You will serve well. Talos will show mercy on your soul if you prove to be a force for destruction in his name. |
| 29295 Ah, there is a duty you should perform with all haste. Perform well and the insult of your refusal may be forgotten. Speak with Talon Yarryl. Go. |
| 29296 I will listen. What is it that you need? |
| 29297 I do not have time for this right now. |
| 29298 I see. Return when you do. I would have your full attention on this matter. |
| 29299 I knew you would not disappoint; you have already proven reliable. Here is the duty I require. Bear with me, for the telling is a little complicated. |
| 29300 It is my responsibility to furnish this temple with the artifacts that speak of Helm's glory. Objects that please the eye draw the mind into the glory of Helm. |
| 29301 And what would you have me do? |
| 29302 This place reflects the pride you take in your position. |
| 29303 Athkatla is lucky to have an exceptional artist visiting, second only perhaps to that poor Prism of Nashkel. What a loss his death was to us. |
| 29304 I speak of Sir Sarles, who is making a brief stop before leaving for Calimshan. We wish to use this great opportunity to commission a work from him. |
| 29305 But nothing is ever easy. Aside from his enormous commission fee, he claims he will work in nothing short of pure illithiumâ€â€a metal more valued than gold! |
| 29306 That is problematic. What can I do? |
| 29307 Can nothing be done to sway his mind? |
| 29308 This is where you come in. I would ask that you convince Sarles to honor Helm. Other churches court him as well, though they have no more illithium than we. |
| 29309 Do as you must. Be stern in your negotiations. None should exceed Helm in this. Try to avoid hurting anyone, but answer threats in kind. Sarles is worth it. |
| 29310 Will I be reimbursed if I must spend my own gold on him? |
| 29311 What if another temple has secured him first? |
| 29312 This is a mere errand quest. It is beneath me. |
| 29313 You will be paid as best as the coffers of Helm will allow. If you do not come out ahead, count it towards your service to Helmâ€â€a donation in another form. |
| 29314 Delay will allow other temples to outstep us. Go to Sarles at the Jysstev estate in the southeast section of the Government District. |
| 29315 Conduct yourself with discipline; you are the eyes of Helm in this enterprise. |
| 29316 I am certain he will choose Helm no matter what deal he has already struck. None are more worthy. Pay what you must to encourage him, and you will be compensated. |
| 29317 Beneath you? How is the bidding of Helm beneath you? You are free to refuse if you wish, though the slight will not be forgotten. |
| 29318 I promise nothing, but I will try. |
| 29319 My apologies. I will serve as best I can. |
| 29320 It is your responsibility to commission a work of art from the sculptor Sir Sarles. See that he serves the glory of Helm. |
| 29321 You will have to secure enough illithium to keep him happy and convince him to accept an affordable commission. Discuss this with Sarles, he may be reasonable. |
| 29322 The Unsleeping Eyes of Helm have much to keep them busy now! We have received word that Sarles will work for us! I cannot thank you enough. |
| 29323 Now, to what you are owed. You have served Helm with due care and have earned a portion of the artist's commission to cover any cost you paid. |
| 29324 But mere gold is not worthy of your service. You are of the chosen of Helm. You deserve greater tools with which to spread the word of Helm. |
| 29325 You have earned more than mere gold as well. Helm is practical and would have his payment be so as well. You shall have the Helm of Glory, to further yourself. |
| 29326 Helm grants you the boon of choice. Which will you choose to further your fight? We have the Ring of Holiness, the Armor of Faith, and a Staff-Spear. |
| 29327 The Ring of Holiness. |
| 29328 The Armor of Faith. |
| 29329 The Staff-Spear. |
| 29330 Your choice is made, though each choice here was wise. The ring is for those who judge. Do not disgrace the source. Alphonse will bring it to you shortly. |
| 29331 Your choice is made, though each choice here was wise. The armor is a practical gift, one Helm would approve of. Alphonse will bring it to you shortly. |
| 29332 Your choice is made, though each choice here was wise. The weapon will smite your enemies in the name of Helm. Alphonse will bring it to you shortly. |
| 29333 <CHARNAME>, what is wrong? Has Sir Sarles proven difficult to deal with? |
| 29334 I could not please him. This illithium alloy was not enough. He has gone. |
| 29335 He has refused to work for anyone, despite all that I did for him. |
| 29336 He has proven unreasonable. I did everything he asked! |
| 29337 This matter requires those closest to Helm. I would speak to <CHARNAME> and <CHARNAME> alone. |
| 29338 Then there is nothing left to it. What's done is done. We will commission work from a local artist as soon as we can, using this alloy. A pity, but it... |
| 29339 What is this, Guardian? I had heard you were commissioning a new work for the temple. Is this it? |
| 29340 It was to be, High Watcher, but no longer. |
| 29341 And why not? It resembles the works of Prism, though of course it cannot be. It has an odd look to it, like the time between the dark and the dawn. I find it pleasing. |
| 29342 As you would have it, High Watcher Oisig. |
| 29343 It carries the sheen of illithium, but it is smudged? Good. Helm's armor is unblemished, but the acolytes should not think it easy to attain without tireless work. |
| 29344 Place it someplace prominent, Guardian; it will serve. I had worried you might expend our coffers on that overrated Sir Sarles, but this pleases me. Fine work. |
| 29345 Helm guided us through the mire of pretentious artists and nobles and granted us a humble tribute that is still worthy. You have gained his blessing. |
| 29346 I have enjoyed being in his service. |
| 29347 I am just glad this is over now. |
| 29348 Ehh... you would be the new acolyte then? I have heard you have served and not angered... so you live to serve again. Talos demands a task. You will accept. |
| 29349 Speak then. I will hear your request. |
| 29350 I will return when I have enough time to give proper attention. |
| 29351 As you will. It is best that you give this your full attention or none at all. Partial success would still be failure. |
| 29352 You will do well if you maintain this level of obedience. Listen and I will explain what is required. We need a direct hand to straighten a confusing matter. |
| 29353 Talos demands proper tribute, and that occasionally means artwork pleasing to the eye. If a piece of his fury can be represented, more might see and fear it. |
| 29354 Yes, yes, and what of me? |
| 29355 You have honored him well. |
| 29356 There is more to be done. An artist visits Athkatla now. Only Prism of Nashkel was more accomplished, but his work was sickly sweet and his death deserved. |
| 29357 The artist travels under the name Sir Sarles, though it is surely a fake. He is pretentious, demanding, and very good. We must command a commission from him. |
| 29358 But he is not being cooperative. His commission is outlandish, and he demands illithium as his medium! He may as well have asked for dragon tears. |
| 29359 Can he be reasoned with? |
| 29360 What can I do? |
| 29361 Convince him to work for Talos. Use whatever means you must. Other churches are trying the same... if you cross their representatives, kill them. |
| 29362 Incur what debts you must, and use force where it will help. Stop at nothing. This man must realize there is no choice but to work in the service of Talos. |
| 29363 And if I have to pay for something with my own gold, will I be reimbursed? |
| 29364 And what if another temple has reached him first? |
| 29365 This is the task of a messenger! I would be better used elsewhere! |
| 29366 Yes, yes, you will receive what you paid out. If not, you will smile and say thank you anyway. Consider it a donation to Talos. |
| 29367 Go to this Sir Sarles now. He is hiding in the Jysstev estate. It is in the southeast section of the Government District. |
| 29368 You are the fury of Talos in this matter. Accept nothing less than obedience. |
| 29369 You will make him see the error of not working for Talos. It is that simple. Do what you must. |
| 29370 You are as much use as Talos sees fit! Do you refuse this task? |
| 29371 I promise nothing. Speak on. |
| 29372 I humbly beg your forgiveness. |
| 29373 Talos demands the service of the artist Sir Sarles. Secure his agreement! Go! |
| 29374 Find his damnable illithium and make him accept a reasonable commission. He may rethink his demands if you press our point in discussion with him. |
| 29375 The fury of the Storm Lord is abated for another day. You have done well. We have secured what our enemies could not, and Talos is well honored. |
| 29376 Now, to what you are owed. Gold, of course, for simple comforts and luxuries. A piece of that fool's commission is yours. |
| 29377 Now to your reward. As one of the chosen of Talos, you have earned a true blessing. Your survival is now valued, so you will be given tools to assure it is so. |
| 29378 You have also earned a blessing in the form of this mace. You will serve the Storm Lord all the better with this tool of war. |
| 29379 More so, you get a choice. Choose what will best serve you. You may have the Ring of Holiness, the Armor of Faith, or the Staff-Spear. |
| 29380 The Ring of Holiness. |
| 29381 The Armor of Faith. |
| 29382 The Staff-Spear. |
| 29383 There was no wrong choice, for they were all gifts of Talos. The ring will serve you well. Alphonse will bring it to you shortly. |
| 29384 There was no wrong choice, for they were all gifts of Talos. The armor will serve you well. Alphonse will bring it to you shortly. |
| 29385 There was no wrong choice, for they were all gifts of Talos. The weapon will serve you well. Alphonse will bring it to you shortly. |
| 29386 I do not like the look of your face, acolyte! What is wrong? Do NOT say you have failed in your quest! |
| 29387 He has left. I tried to appease him with this illithium alloy, but I failed. |
| 29388 He has refused to work for anyone, despite all that I did for him. |
| 29389 He has proven unreasonable. I did everything he asked! |
| 29390 Remove your face from mine sight. I speak of matters close to Talos and will only address <PRO_HESHE> that is close to Talos as well. I speak to <CHARNAME>. |
| 29391 Then you have failed, and all you have to show for it is this useless lump of metal! Talos tolerates no incompetence! You will pay and... |
| 29392 What is the disturbance, Talon? Talos alone reserves fury in his own temple. Ahh, is this to be the new tribute you have commissioned? |
| 29393 It was, Stormherald, but things have not worked out as planned. |
| 29394 Why so? This is an interesting change. It is formless and shapeless, like the void. It seems a shadow rising against the light. |
| 29395 It has the brilliance of illithium, but it looks as though it will catch the dirt and grime. Good. It will decay and suffer the destruction of time. A fitting tribute. |
| 29396 But... but Stormherald, I... |
| 29397 Are you questioning me? I would not like to think so! Display it! Do you hear me? Reward this <CHARNAME> as you were told and get on with your duties! |
| 29398 Yes, Stormherald Nallabir. |
| 29399 Well, he'll kill us both if I tell him now. You are very lucky, though perhaps Talos did guide you through this mire. |
| 29400 I felt his influence. It could not have happened another way. |
| 29401 I am glad it is over. Influence or not, it was a great weight upon me. |
| 29402 Look ye all upon this foul drow that we have bound before ye! A creature of evil and darkness, my brethren! A creature of foulness and deceit, bent only on our destruction! |
| 29403 This creature has foolishly come amongst us, my brethren, thinking that we would be lax in our senses! Tell me what should be done with it! |
| 29404 Burn it! |
| 29405 Burn her! |
| 29406 Burn the drow! |
| 29407 Aye, burn the elf! Her dark and fiendish kin rose up from their underground homes and killed my father and brother! They are all evil, I tell you, all of them! |
| 29408 Then the drow shall burn! Gather 'round, my brethren, and witness the will of Beshaba triumph over foul evil! |
| 29409 You rivvin are mad! I have done nothing to any of you! I seek only to make my way without molestation! Why have you done this?! Why?! |
| 29410 Ye shall be silent, evil one! The power of the Maid of Misrule will be demonstrated here today! |
| 29411 Done nothing?! You are a drow elf, are ye not?! That is as good a reason as any! |
| 29412 Aye! Burn her now! |
| 29413 Burn her! |
| 29414 No! Nau! Oloth plynn d'jal! |
| 29415 Spout your evil speech if ye must, drow, but prepare yourself for your journey into the next world! Beg for forgiveness, beg for salvation! And hope that the cleansing fire will save ye! |
| 29416 Right jolly day, eh <SIRMAAM>? Ye be wantin' t' take a gander at me bookies 'n scrolls? |
| 29417 I would indeed. |
| 29418 Not at this time, thank you. |
| 29419 As ye will. (Can't read, eh? 'Tis a fine pickle the Amnian school system's got itself into.) |
| 29420 Ah, it is too bad you could not take her. Her spirit is stifling here; it would not be smart to leave her. Maybe one day soon, she will be able to go. |
| 29421 Eh, you have returned and Aerie is not among you? I should have known as much; she is a restless child. Wherever she is, I wish her well. |
| 29422 Galoomp the Bookkeeper |
| 29423 Galoomp the Bookkeeper |
| 29424 Please, <CHARNAME>, I beg of you! Save me from these madmen! |
| 29425 What are you doing?! Why have ye interfered with the judgment of Beshaba?! Her will must be shown to the people! |
| 29426 Allies of the foul creature! Allies of the drow! |
| 29427 This can never be allowed! The drow dies! |
| 29428 Ahhh! |
| 29429 Run for it! |
| 29430 just ten damage |
| 29431 And lo, the judgment of Beshaba has been called upon this most evil of drow, and she has been found wanting! May the people see their salvation from your evil in the Maid of Misrule! Pray that she is merciful, foul one! |
| 29432 Die! For my father and my brother! DIE! |
| 29433 Huzzah! Huzzah! |
| 29434 Justice be done! |
| 29435 NOOOOOOOOOO! |
| 29436 I owe you my life, abbil... you have saved me once again. I did nothing to provoke their attack, I tell you! I was passing through the city when the man guessed my identity under my hood. |
| 29437 I was surprised and he called out to others, revealing me. I suppose they assumed I was here to spy on them... fools! They are so quick to fear, these rivvin! |
| 29438 But, come... we must be on our way soon if we are to avoid drawing another crowd. I distrust these barbaric people too much to hang about. |
| 29439 Oh, speak with me again when you have time. There is another task you might do, one that is a touch more dangerous. |
| 29440 As you wish. I will be here a while yet. If you change your mind, <CHARNAME>, I may be found amidst the artful monuments in the Graveyard District. |
| 29441 I would ask a dangerous thing of you. You're free to refuse, but the greater glory of Lathander is at stake. |
| 29442 You need not ask me twice. What is required? |
| 29443 Then I will return when I can give my full attention to the matter. |
| 29444 Return to me when you have become accustomed to your new rewards, I have much more for you to do. This time, it shall be worthy of a servant of Talos. |
| 29445 Report back to me when you are able. We have allies that will require your service. |
| 29446 I have a duty for you to perform. It has been requested of us that we assist the temple of Lathander in their dispute with the worshippers of Talos. |
| 29447 We have remained neutral in this matter, but the balance of the situation has shifted, and should one side gain dominance over another there will be chaos. |
| 29448 Go. Speak with Dawnbringer Sain, my counterpart in the hall of Lathander. Helm be your guide through the halls of friends, and the trials of enemies. |
| 29449 Seek the instruction of the Dawnbringer in the temple of Lathander. His will is your next assignment. |
| 29450 Join us, my <LADYLORD>, and rejoice in our righteous destruction of this most unholy entity! Behold the forces of good triumphant! |
| 29451 I have a chore for you that may prove interesting. This is not a matter of negotiation or exploration. No, now you are to face true enemies of Talos. Are you ready? |
| 29452 I found the stinking drow in the market, hiding under her cloak and hood, sneaking amongst us surely for an evil purpose! She'll pay, all right... just like all of her kind will one day pay! |
| 29453 Please, I beg of you, free me! I have done nothing to deserve this treatment. Please! |
| 29454 I do as Talos wills! |
| 29455 I will return when I can devote my whole energies to the task! |
| 29456 Fine, but do not wait too long. The Morninglord requires your service soon. |
| 29457 Talos cannot afford to be patient in this matter. Return with all speed! |
| 29458 This drow is just like all the rest, I reckon... if we don't burn her now, she'll murder any one of us soon enough! |
| 29459 She was up to no good, she was! Sneakin' around the markets, hidin' from us in her cloaks! A spy... or an assassin! Burn, I says! |
| 29460 This is only right and fair... all the drow elves are evil to the core, and this one is surely no exception! This will show them that we can't be pushed around! |
| 29461 Good. The Morninglord takes great pride in the artifacts of his rule. We have many items on display, from new artworks to the aged relics of bygone days. |
| 29462 Of course you do, and you will have ample opportunity to demonstrate as such. We seek your guile and muscle to accomplish a task of great importance. |
| 29463 Oh my... I wonder if this drow means we are to be invaded by an army of them soon! Black elves bursting from the ground! Oooohh... |
| 29464 What has this drow done? What crime is she accused of? |
| 29465 I demand that you release this woman at once! |
| 29466 The High Mornmaster of Lathander has sent word you are to be congratulated. You have done well by helping the balance of power here. |
| 29467 Very well... I think I'll enjoy this. |
| 29468 Helm takes pride in your service to him. Know that you are well thought of here. |
| 29469 What crime? The crime of being dark and evil, of course! Look on her, fool! Her skin is black with the stain of her foul soul! She is a drow, and all the drow deserve no mercy! |
| 29470 We found her in the market... attempting to hide her identity! No doubt a spy... we have taken the law into our own hands, and it is good! |
| 29471 Stand aside and watch... or join us if you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! Either way, justice will be done! |
| 29472 Today we are one less. We are the victims of thievery, and our followers have been shaken by this vulnerability. Quick steps must be taken to rectify this. |
| 29473 Never! The foul creature is receiving only the just punishment that all her kind deserve! The darkness in her soul will be burned clean, it will! |
| 29474 Another joins us in bringing about the punishment of this vile creature! All praise <HIMHER> in <HISHER> wisdom! All praise the righteous! |
| 29475 Treachery! What can be done? |
| 29476 Anything to be of service. |
| 29477 Praise the righteous! |
| 29478 We know the culprits; they have not concealed their crime. Talassans, slinking from their temple to degrade our worship, hired common thieves for the deed! |
| 29479 Yes, praise the righteous! |
| 29480 <CHARNAME>... you... you abandon me?! I have done nothing to warrant this! Og'elend! Traitor! Iblith! Oloth plynn dos! |
| 29481 They fear no retribution. The Morninglord cannot suffer his relics in the hands of such evil. Find these thieves before the Talassans receive the items. |
| 29482 The spark of dawn has lit the way. Go to the filth of the slums at night and intercept the delivery of our Dawn Ring. Bring it back to its proper place. |
| 29483 Expect resistance from the Talassans. Divination reveals their foul servant. Go, and relieve the one called Travin of our rightful property. |
| 29484 Doesn't take much to stir up a lynch mob, does it? Ah well, it's not worth interrupting. Only some idiot drow elf, looks like. |
| 29485 I'm not going to do anything about that mob. Let them have their fun, I say. |
| 29486 I do this without question! The Talassans won't have their trophy for long! |
| 29487 With Helm's guidance, I will aid you as best I can. This affront will be righted. |
| 29488 Is there reward for this task? This is likely to be very dangerous. |
| 29489 Look at that drow squirm! Hah! I kinda wonder what she was doin' sneaking around the city anyway, disguised like that. |
| 29490 Reward? This is your duty. You are a cleric of Lathander; he has granted you great boons that you might serve him better. |
| 29491 Do you demand more of your lord? Will you not march into danger for your faith? |
| 29492 Is there payment for this task? It is to be quite dangerous. |
| 29493 And what shall be the reward for this task? |
| 29494 Ah, yes, you are not of our faith. If gold is your motivator, you shall have it. Perhaps you will also learn some devotion of your own. |
| 29495 Of course not. Forgive my hesitation. I will help as best I can. |
| 29496 I intended no disrespect. Whether faithful or not, I still must eat. |
| 29497 No greater reward could I imagine than a new direction inspired. Regardless, you will have your gold... what we can afford. Is this sufficient? |
| 29498 We shall see. |
| 29499 It will suffice. |
| 29500 Your lord Helm has bid your service to us. Is his word to be disregarded if there is no profit? I did not think Helm's followers so weak of faith. |
| 29501 Oh well. So much for the entertainment, I suppose. |
| 29502 Helm is the path of the strong and just. I do as he bids. |
| 29503 I was merely concerned about the proper tribute to Helm for this task. |
| 29504 I will aid you. You shall have your relic back. |
| 29505 Your reward will be suitable. Go to the slums during the night. If you can do this without bloodshed, all the better. But spare no wrath if necessary. |
| 29506 Ah, you must be <CHARNAME>. High Watcher Oisig had said he would send capable help. Are you ready to aid the house of the Morninglord? |
| 29507 For crimes against Amn, you are hereby sentenced to death. |
| 29508 So much to do, so much to do... and so very little time. It's never anything around here but run, run, run! |
| 29509 Were you aware that Athkatla is one of the wealthiest cities in the world? Why, with our colonies in Maztica, there is more gold flowing through the City of Coin than anywhere east! |
| 29510 Mmm... I haven't been to one of the spa tubs in ages. It's the only luxury we here in the city really have. |
| 29511 I will do what I can to aid you. |
| 29512 I will return as soon as I am ready. |
| 29513 There was the oddest little gnome around here selling things like weapons and the like. ...I could have sworn I remember seeing him selling turnips last month. |
| 29514 You are to help recover the Dawn Ring, stolen by the evil that is the followers of Talos. Please return to your efforts. |
| 29515 This crystal appears to be the focus of the kobolds' worship. It pulses with a strange light. Perhaps it feeds off of the kobolds. |
| 29516 Ah... you wouldn't be here to sweep the street, would you, sir? |
| 29517 I am dressed as I am... and somewhat dirty... because of the time I have spent in the woodlands, sir. I am NOT a street sweeper. |
| 29518 This exit has been sealed by a powerful magical force. You will need to find another way out. |
| 29519 Umm... weren't you dragged in here earlier? I could have sworn they were going to burn you. |
| 29520 Yes, that was I, rivvil... no thanks to your strange breed of law enforcement that you have in this city. |
| 29521 I'm off t' pay me taxes, I am. Almost twice as much as last year, too... 'tis a most horrid travesty! |
| 29522 I would invite ye all to join in on me family's feast this eve, but there be barely enough spread these days t' cover the table. |
| 29523 I hope ye haven't tried dealin' with the bloody bureaucracy in the city. Tsk. They don't calls this the "City of Coin" for nothing, me friend. |
| 29524 Don't ye go near the docks... I warn ye, it's dangerous and nearly unguarded. Fie on the guard, fie! |
| 29525 Why, Lord Keldorn... pleased to meet you, sir. I just came from droppin' off Leona at yer estate, I did. |
| 29526 Is that so? I trust her lessons are still proceeding well, then. That is good to see. |
| 29527 Well, if it isn't Jan Jansen! You incorrigible old gnome, you! Married a lass yet, hmm? |
| 29528 I am not that old, madam. And I assure you... should I decide upon a bride, you will be the first to know. |
| 29529 Three acres of perfectly good farmland destroyed by hail. Hmph. It has not been an easy year. |
| 29530 I am looking for some workers to add onto my manse... might you be interested? |
| 29531 I understand that the Jysstevs are hosting a famous artist... I do hope he will put on a display for us! |
| 29532 I think I saw one of the Cowled Wizards walking down the street, bold as day. They should arrest all his like and be done with it. |
| 29533 Ah! Lord Anomen! Is your father still carrying on his losing battle with that commoner? |
| 29534 That "commoner" is one of the wealthiest men in the city. Aside from that, it is none of your affair. |
| 29535 Let me see... you are the de'Arnise girl, aren't you? Why aren't you decently married yet? |
| 29536 And why aren't you decently dead yet? |
| 29537 If you weren't aware otherwise, this is certainly the part of town to see and be seen in. Hm... but, then, you're a commoner. |
| 29538 *yawn* Oh, I apologize... were you actually speaking to me? |
| 29539 If you wait here long enough, a member of the council and his entourage is sure to pass by. |
| 29540 They need to build a coliseum, I think. There simply isn't enough entertainment for the Amnian nobility, truly. Maybe have some of those Mazticans fight each other to death or something. |
| 29541 Oh, how absolutely delicious! If it isn't Valygar Corthala! How is your mother, darling boy? |
| 29542 Dead. She turned into a lich, and I beheaded her. Anything else you'd like to know, you nosy harpy? |
| 29543 Well, well, well. If it isn't Lord Keldorn himself. You should keep a closer eye on Lady Maria, I think, my lord. *chuckle* |
| 29544 You will keep your waspish tongue to yourself, woman, as well as your unfounded gossip! |
| 29545 You return triumphant! Oh, the Talassans will rue the day they dared defile the home of Lathander! |
| 29546 The Morninglord does not require your talents at this time. He will call if need be. |
| 29547 Helm requires nothing further for the moment. You will be summoned if you are needed. |
| 29548 I am telling you, my brother... the correct way to approach life is to accept its travails. One must bend as the willow and see the obstacles that the gods place in front of you as challenges to be overcome. |
| 29549 You continue to be a fine resource for the Morninglord. Your service has been exemplary, and you have earned your place within the temple order. |
| 29550 High Watcher Oisig was correct in recommending you. You are an asset to Helm. I thank you on behalf of the Morninglord. |
| 29551 Your service has been exceptional. I wish you were a member of our temple. You would have been a fine cleric had your life taken another path. I thank you. |
| 29552 Don't be moronic. You *must* struggle! Through struggle, we grow stronger! Only the strong survive. And I am *not* your brother. |
| 29553 Strength comes through wisdom and pliance... one must be flexible to accept the things that come. Struggle only brings futility, my son. |
| 29554 Struggle and adversity bring strength, not futility! War and violence weed out the weak and unhealthy, strengthening all! And I'm not your son. |
| 29555 War and violence are the recourse of the weak-minded, my friend. When they occur, it is as a result of failure rather than success. |
| 29556 Bah! Let me show you what comes out of that philosophy, "friend"! Huntley? |
| 29557 Yeah, boss? |
| 29558 Show him what becomes of his philosophy. |
| 29559 Right, boss. |
| 29560 I hope you know I'm only being proven correct here. |
| 29561 Well, now I suppose you were right, after all. Dead right. Ha ha! But I get the last word. Come, Huntley... let's go. |
| 29562 Now I hope you know all that violence was completely unnecessary. You've rather invalidated my entire argument! |
| 29563 Slanderous words have been said. Things did not go well for Stormherald Nallabir at this past tenday's theological debate in the Government District. |
| 29564 Hmph. Away with you, peasant. |
| 29565 Er... what the most magnificent Lord Pehllus means is that he is... far too busy... er... surveying the city to speak with you at the moment... |
| 29566 You don't look like someone I'd speak to. |
| 29567 Um... what the most gracious Lord Pehllus means to say is... er... that he is waiting to meet a most lovely woman by the name of Oriona, and you are obviously not her. |
| 29568 Bah! |
| 29569 Err... the lord simply means to introduce himself, I am sure. Bow before Pehllus Tanislove, one of the most powerful nobles of Athkatla and priest to the goddess of joy, Lliira. |
| 29570 Hmmmn... now, I am quite sure that I don't |
| 29571 Uh... the Lord Pehllus means to say that he is currently not aware of your name... |
| 29572 The growing arrogance of the Lathanderian church is distasteful. Talos should be feared; their irreverence is insulting. |
| 29573 Yes, of course, Your Worshipfulness... my apologies, Your Grace... |
| 29574 I am quite capable of speaking for myself, you worthless fool! |
| 29575 Yes. *ahem* Now tell this collection of peasantry to disperse. There is a lingering odor about them that offends me. |
| 29576 *grumble* Where can that woman be? Hmph! |
| 29577 Ah, do I detect a note of impatience, waiting for a lover who has not yet arrived? A touch of yearning mixed with anticipation? One can see the sheen of lust upon your brow, my lord. |
| 29578 Er... ah... here's a platinum piece, good man. Go play your instrument... somewhere... |
| 29579 *grumble* I grow weary of waiting here. If I stay much longer, I think I shall grow truly upset. |
| 29580 Perhaps people just need a swift kick in the punctuals! |
| 29581 Well now, there's a novel approach. |
| 29582 No, I seldom have time for reading. Too much work to be done! |
| 29583 Hmm. We need more people like you on the council, actually. |
| 29584 Then they are dead! Dead! |
| 29585 What do you wish me to do? |
| 29586 Would it not be better just to best them in the next round of debates? |
| 29587 Who? Me? I'm... I'm nobody. I'm just a toady. |
| 29588 I suggest you take a step back from the Lord Pehllus. |
| 29589 This is one of the great nobles of Amn! Show some respect, citizen! |
| 29590 I am an elite member of Amn's military, set to be the lord's personal bodyguard. Don't try anything. |
| 29591 Talos's mercy! The wind blew all my forms away! Now I will have to redo them over the next three months! |
| 29592 Excuse me, but I have to get to my office now... |
| 29593 If you want to know anything about the state of your taxes or your land deeds, I am not the person to talk to, okay? |
| 29594 Um... I have nothing to do with raising the taxes, all right? |
| 29595 A crowd actually hauled a drow in here earlier... I... I think they're going to burn her! Why won't anyone do something?! |
| 29596 No, there would be a great outcry if the Lathanderian fools woke up dead, though the jokes of "Mourninglord" would almost make up for it. |
| 29597 Perhaps, if we cared to lend any importance to the debates. No, Talos demands a quicker response. Not death, but destruction of morale. |
| 29598 Sir Branet Al-Thon |
| 29599 Sir Jolus |
| 29600 What we have planned is a simple theft, though we are not shy about a few deaths on the way. In fact, killing the night guards would sow much fear. |
| 29601 Hmmm... that's three trade bars... and fifty dantars... how much is that in gold...? Hmm... |
| 29602 Hmmm... have you paid your taxes? I wonder if you're on my list. I must have you somewhere... |
| 29603 I only collect the home taxes... harbor taxes are collected at the docks. If you want to pay for your trade booth, do it at the main office. |
| 29604 I don't know why everybody avoids me. You would think I was a mad Bhaalist priest or something. |
| 29605 Wait one minute... you! You're Jan Jansen, aren't you? Four years behind on your home tax? Selling without a license? |
| 29606 Sir Branet Al-Thon |
| 29607 Nonsense. I'm Jan Jinsen. You want that other gnome, good fellow. |
| 29608 Oh, I see. Well, all right then. |
| 29609 Young lady... why are you giving me such a queer look? |
| 29610 It's just that I can't help but feeling, sir, that we are in the same business somehow. |
| 29611 That fool Pehllus is looking for me again? Well, I've got better things to do than take part in his particular form of worship. |
| 29612 Sir Beverus |
| 29613 Pehllus may be the Dahaunarch, but I've got wealthier customers than him. And they aren't followers of Lliira, making me dance like a banshee around the room to work up a sweat. |
| 29614 Sir Beverus |
| 29615 We have hired a thief, and he has stolen a Dawn Ring from the Lathanderian temple. Find Travin in the slums at night, collect the ring, and return it here. |
| 29616 Now I could let you in on some delicious secrets of some of the most powerful men in Athkatla... but that would be telling, wouldn't it? |
| 29617 I will return with the item as soon as I can. |
| 29618 I shall not be gentle in the taking! |
| 29619 Very good. Remember that the honor of Talos rests upon your shoulders. |
| 29620 When you've got it, you've got to use it to your advantage... you know what I mean, yes? My two mansions and three cottages tell me I'm right. |
| 29621 Mmmm, darling, with lovely dark skin like that... you could earn more than a living here, let me tell you. |
| 29622 Yes, I know. I've had men crawl across shards of glass to lick the filth off my boot. But you surfacers give me too many other problems. |
| 29623 Sir Paritin |
| 29624 Sir Paritin |
| 29625 Why, Lord Keldorn! You've jumped into a river to avoid me before, and here you are! Have you... changed your mind? *chuckle* |
| 29626 Er... ah... my lady! I... I am a married man! |
| 29627 And is there payment for the risk I will take? |
| 29628 I don't mind. And somehow, neither does Lady Maria, I think. |
| 29629 Talos pays his dutiful followers with each breath they receive. Many do not survive his service; they ask for too much. Do not join their ranks, <CHARNAME>. |
| 29630 That is quite enough of that! I... ah... I have urgent business elsewhere. Excuse me, my lady. |
| 29631 I will retrieve the Dawn Ring from this common thief and return. |
| 29632 I merely meant that I give great value to my service to Talos. |
| 29633 Yes, I am certain that is what you meant. Go, and remember that the weight of Talos's honor is upon you. |
| 29634 Go! Do not return here unless you bring the Dawn Ring that you were to secure from the thief in the slums! |
| 29635 You have done very well, <CHARNAME>. The Morninglord will be most embarrassed by this. Certainly we will have shaken the confidence of many of his followers. |
| 29636 You may not benefit from this. The Lathanderites will scry that it was your doing. You must rain destruction upon them if they oppose you in the future. |
| 29637 You have served the Storm Lord well. Talos smiles. |
| 29638 Talos has no need of you right now. You will be summoned if anything is required. Until then, tend your own affairs. |
| 29639 Alhelor |
| 29640 Alhelor |
| 29641 With a surge of magical energy, a djinni appears. |
| 29643 If you want some service, I'm afraid you're going to have to wait. It's not like we have nothing to do here. |
| 29644 Do you have any idea how long it takes to find a form in the archives? |
| 29645 All I get all day long is complaints. Complaints upon complaints and more complaints. How about a pat on the back for once? |
| 29646 *grumble* Last season, the council sent me to survey farmland around the city for two weeks. Two weeks of cow manure and being chased by hobgoblins! |
| 29647 You think coordinating the taxes from all over Amn is easy? Try talking to that Sythillis fellow and those rebels down south. Gah! |
| 29648 You! Sharp-bearded fellow! Run and get me the portfolio on the Murann farming districts! Run, run! |
| 29649 Say "run" one more time, you half-witted blind excuse for vermin, and I will have both your legs end at charred little stumps! |
| 29650 What now? You aren't another wood elf coming to complain about something I have no jurisdiction over, are you? Why can't you people solve your own problems? |
| 29651 Obviously, if I did have a problem, you would be the very last person I would be speaking to, you selfish and close-minded fool. |
| 29652 Things have been very confusing here since we began administering the colonies in the New World as well. There are so many problems, and it takes so long to communicate! It's awful! |
| 29653 Sir Jolus |
| 29654 I've just been enumerating the tax landholds in the colonies... and a ship just arrived from Maztica telling me that three villages have been burned to the ground by the natives! All that work, gone! |
| 29655 If you want anything done, you're going to have to speak to the council. And that, of course, is not easy. |
| 29656 Sir Laren |
| 29657 *sigh* If you want to make a request, you'll have to go to the clerk and get the forms. Fill them out now so I can get on to ignoring them as quickly as possible. |
| 29658 Go now, tool, and leave the thinkers to their thinking. Talk to Edwin; he might have something for you to do. |
| 29659 Sir Laren |
| 29660 I just found out we have three manhunts out for tax evaders who we weren't informed had died over ten years ago. Hmm. Maybe if we pretend we still don't know that, we can force someone to pay... |
| 29661 Er... you look like one of those men from Rashemen... You're not here to ask for anything, are you? Last time that happened, things got messy... |
| 29662 Why? In beloved Rashemen, if things don't work, we encourage them with a loving backhand of productivity! |
| 29663 Edwin's Key |
| 29664 I'm sorry, sir... we don't allow dwarves in these buildings. |
| 29665 What?! But ye'll let th' bloody halflings in? Ye keeps up that nonsense talk, missy, and ye'll be feelin' the blunt head of me axe on yer arse, ye surely shall! |
| 29666 Hmm... we seem to be all out of the vellum forms for tax concessions. I guess the city goes without them this year... oh, well. |
| 29667 Sometimes I wonder why we keep all these records when most of the city can neither read nor write. |
| 29668 Did you know that halflings have had a tax break since the Year of the Spur? Nobody has told them though, and the rest of 'em can't read or write anyway. |
| 29669 Pehllus Tanislove |
| 29670 Pehllus Tanislove |
| 29671 I've got a form for claiming land in Maztica around here somewhere... you have full rights to kill the natives, too... |
| 29672 Whenever they want to lower costs, the council changes the names of our forms. How can I know land grants are on the Futility of Clouds Application? |

| 29684 The Dahaunarch is in the city... but I am afraid he is out on council business right now and isn't expected back soon. |
| 29685 The Namarch is in Athkatla... but he is entertaining a dignified guest at his home and isn't conducting business. |
| 29686 The Meisarch... the highest of the council... is currently at Riatavin dealing with the rebellion, according to my knowledge. |
| 29687 The Council of Six rules all of Amn, yes, but also the city of Athkatla... but they aren't currently sitting. The bureaucracy is overseeing things here at the moment. |
| 29688 ...oh, ah, Lord Corthala... I'm afraid that the council simply isn't willing to hear from you again regarding |
| 29689 I am not here to plead my case before the council, man. Just go about your ineptitude and do not worry about me. |
| 29690 ...mm, ah, yes... the daughter of Lord de'Arnise. The council is taking the matter of your father under advisement. We can let you know in, say, three to four weeks? |
| 29691 *sigh* Don't bother. Truly. |
| 29692 This is the center of government for not only Athkatla, but for all of Amn as well. You are in a place of great power here. |
| 29693 Amnian influence stretches all along the west of Faerûn and across the Trackless Sea into the New World. Be proud, citizen. |
| 29694 We will deal with the Sythillisian forces and the rebels down near Riatavin, not to worry. Nothing will ever threaten the City of Coin itself. |
| 29695 All trade goods find their way to Athkatla eventually. We are a nation of trade, and the army exists to protect that trade. |
| 29696 Don't get out of line, citizen... especially here. |
| 29697 I've been sent from one person to another for six weeks now! Does nobody actually do anything here? |
| 29698 All I want to do is find out why my little farm was taxed as a castle! It's outrageous! They have it listed as a castle, and that's it for them... they refuse to believe otherwise! |
| 29699 Everybody I go to here says that they can't help me. My farm is listed as a castle, and that's all there is to it. *sigh* Maybe I should ask them for an army and see if they give me one. |
| 29700 I even had a herald come and actually see my farm. He decided it would be too much work to change the mistake that has my farm listed as a castle... so he said that he saw a castle there and left! |
| 29701 If I don't see someone in charge soon, I'm going to have a most un-halfling-like bout of temper! Grrrr! |
| 29702 My family is one of the wealthiest in Athkatla... we have interests in the gold mines up north and the shipwrights here in the city. So I will thank you not to stand too close. |
| 29703 I don't suppose you're from one of the mercantile companies, are you? No... I didn't think so. |
| 29704 If you ever travel to Riatavin or Trademeet, my friend, beware of the Copriths. That family will be the ruin of Amn, I swear by Helm's beard! |
| 29705 I'm having a difficulty with the workers at one of our gold mines, and I'm not leaving until I speak to a councilor about it. |
| 29706 Begone, peasant! I am the lord of one of Amn's great families, and I'll not have your rude stench assaulting my nostrils! |
| 29707 *sniff* I didn't realize they let wilderness erudites in here without hosing them down first. |
| 29708 I know you, Lord Ketlaar. In time, nature will take revenge for your atrocities in the northern mines. No wonder your workers refuse to continue their labors. |
| 29709 Hmm... hmm. Yes, you'll do. You... the pretty elf there. I need a new mistress, and I think you'll do nicely. |
| 29710 Not... not in a million years, you foul beast! <CHARNAME>... let's get away from him, please... |
| 29711 Any business you wish to conduct, you shall have to conduct with Lord Ketlaar. |
| 29712 Stand back, peasant! You are in the presence of the Lord of the Argrim family, and you will keep your distance! |
| 29713 Hmph. You there... any reason in particular that you're here? |
| 29714 Marcus |

| 29720 I'm just looking around. |
| 29721 Actually, no. I'll be on my way, then. |

| 29727 *sigh* My casting has failed. |
| 29728 *pant* This is the time for discretion, I think! |
| 29729 I'm the keeper of this here prison, and what I says goes. I'm sure there ain't nothin' to interest you here, so why don't you just turn around and go home? |
| 29730 Ha ha! I'm pleased that you came across me when you did... this group does good things. |
| 29731 I would like to just take a quick look around, if I could. |
| 29732 All right, I'm leaving. |
| 29733 There isn't anything for you to see here, <GIRLBOY>. Now just turn your tail about and get gone, all right? |
| 29734 Fine. Be on your way. Prison's a dangerous place for folk like you, at any rate. |
| 29735 There isn't anything interesting for you to see here, <GIRLBOY>... an' I don't let strangers crawl around my prison without reason. Off you go. |

| 29737 *grumble* I left the forest to work with fools... I must be mad. |
| 29738 Perhaps some gold might change your mind? |
| 29739 All right, I'm going. |
| 29740 I'll just pretend I didn't hear that. Now leave before I forget that rending you limb from limb might make you feel... unwelcome. |
| 29741 Go on and talk to yer friend if you wish. He's not goin' anywhere, that's for sure. |
| 29742 I warned you not to go in, didn't I?! Fools! INTRUDERS! |

| 29749 I've little enough like of working with others, and your choices are making this even less pleasant. |
| 29750 This is a very secure prison, my friend... I wouldn't try anything if I were you. |
| 29751 That's it! I can take no more of this damnable association. To the Abyss with you all! |
| 29752 If you're not a prisoner, then my business with you is quite minimal. |
| 29753 I'm keeping an eye on you... no funny business. |
| 29754 I'm sorry, but the prison is closed during the evening... no outside admittance is allowed. If you wish to visit a prisoner, return in the morn. |
| 29755 Well... if that's your wish, I'll not shirk the responsibility. I've no particular desire for the position, though. |
| 29756 I have stamina and patience, but both are wearing thin. It's time to rest. |
| 29757 Hmm... Standing around, standing around. I feel as if I'm in the military once again. |
| 29758 So be it! I am your doom! |
| 29759 I shall make this quick for you... |
| 29760 Glory will be ours today! |
| 29763 If you've some healing arts in your possession, I could certainly use them now! |
| 29764 Ahhh... it's good to be in a place where things are a bit simpler. |
| 29765 I left all this noise and crowds for very good reasons. And I'm beginning to remember them. |
| 29766 You must watch your every move in a place such as this. Dark, foul magic is drawn to these pits like flies. |
| 29767 *deep breath* Ah! A fine day to be traveling, I would think. It's been a while since I was on the open road. |
| 29768 Darkness shrouds those who would creep up on us... so be wary. |
| 29769 I'm still here. |
| 29770 Aye? Something you need? |
| 29771 I can hear you well enough. |
| 29772 I'll aid you if I can. |
| 29773 What is it? |
| 29774 Hmm? |
| 29775 You've thought this through? |
| 29776 I bet that shall do the trick. |
| 29777 Fair enough. |
| 29778 It shall be as you say. |
| 29779 So be it! |
| 29780 I'll get on it right away. |
| 29781 Hmm... Fine, fine! |
| 29782 Oh... giving orders, are we? |
| 29783 So be it... but involve me with any filthy magic, and I swear there'll be a hell to pay. |
| 29784 Life is the path. In the end, it is you that will leave it behind. |
| 29785 A good hit! |
| 29786 Ugh! Such a miss? |
| 29787 Please let me out of here! I have done nothing! |
| 29788 I could not afford my taxes... so I am thrown into this abysmal pit. Oh, how the gods have cursed me! |
| 29789 Oh, my <LADYLORD>... please get me out of this terrible place! |
| 29790 I am innocent! Innocent, I swear! |
| 29791 They... they're going to ship us off to Maztica to be laborers! You can't let that happen to us! |
| 29792 I... I've been framed! Yes, framed! |
| 29793 The bridge has fallen and ends in death. Call forth the name to summon the path. What is the bridge? |
| 29794 I don't understand. What do you wish to know? |
| 29795 I refuse to answer now. I will return later. |
| 29796 Ruin is my answer. |
| 29797 Age is my answer. |
| 29798 Mercy is my answer. |
| 29799 Existence is my answer. |
| 29800 Life is my answer. |
| 29801 Disease is my answer. |
| 29802 Honor is my answer. |
| 29803 The bridge will rise for those who belong. Speak of the bridge to show you belong. Show you belong or suffer the end. |
| 29804 CLASS KIT |
| 29805 My weapon has no effect? |
| 29806 Look... I have no space for any more. I have placed your item on the ground. |
| 29807 I've taken something... though I am not used to this sort of thing. |
| 29808 I'm certain I am out of sight. None will see me now. |
| 29809 Parentage is with you, but there is no travel through it. It is within. |
| 29810 Damn it! I have lost my concentration. |
| 29811 This will ensnare any that tread nearby. |
| 29812 No mercy for those who oppose us! |
| 29813 Ultrinnan! |
| 29815 Wealth is my answer. |
| 29816 The bridge will not rise if you do not belong. Speak of the bridge to show you belong. |
| 29817 Ruin may end in death, but not always, and not with certainty. |
| 29818 Age is the process by which you reach death, but not always. It is a symptom, but not an absolute. |
| 29819 You have failed. Death sends a servant to educate. |
| 29820 Mercy has no bearing on death, unless granted to prevent it. |
| 29821 Existence does not end with death. Existence transcends the end of the body. |
| 29822 Disease can be cured, though the means may be hidden. |
| 29823 Honor can cause the deaths of many, though it may prevent them just as likely. |
| 29824 Though it may be purchased for a few coins, death is no symptom of wealth. |
| 29825 Life is the bridge that must end in death, though duty may hold it at bay. You have spoken of the bridge, but this alone is not enough. |
| 29826 You are not alone on the bridge. Call forth the name to summon the path. It travels with you, and through it you travel, and yet it does leave you behind. Who is with you? |
| 29827 I thought there was only one question. |
| 29828 I will return later to answer your riddle. |
| 29829 The bridge is my answer. |
| 29830 Life is my answer. |
| 29831 My father is my answer. |
| 29832 Charity is my answer. |
| 29833 The air is my answer. |
| 29834 Friendship is my answer. |
| 29835 You have failed. Death sends a servant to educate. |
| 29836 Out of my way, you there! |
| 29837 You begin again when you return. All questions will summon the path or none will. |
| 29838 A thinking game! Minsc knows the answer then! Evil ends in death, because I put my foot in its backside! |

| 29851 Those foul words will be your last! Ye'll die this day! |
| 29852 Now ye've done it, blasted fool! Couldn't ye see <PRO_HESHE> was armed? |
| 29853 Speaking no longer, idiot, but killing! Taste Cohrvale's steel and remember your impudence in the Hells! |
| 29854 This is a foolish question! Who travels with you? Minsc does! What else matters? |
| 29855 Not fast enough! Cohrvale will teach ye a lesson in respect. The price of my school is your life! |
| 29856 You have failed. Death sends a servant to educate. |
| 29857 Oops. I apologize. Next time, I let Boo answer. |
| 29858 The bridge is the means, but it is not with you, and you are not through it. |
| 29859 You have failed. Death sends a servant to educate. |

| 29861 Prison Guard |
| 29862 Charity is yours to dispense and abandon as you see fit. It does not leave you unless you will it. |
| 29863 The air around you is with you, and you may travel through it, but it does not leave you, though it can be taken. |
| 29864 Friendship travels with you, and through it you may travel, but if it leaves you, then it was not truly friendship. |
| 29865 A fair eve to ye, <SIRMAAM>. The troupe of players is just beginning its next performance, if ye wish to partake. We ask that you donate 5 gold for a ticket, but it is not required. |
| 29866 The road is with you, and you travel through it, but it does not leave you behind unless you leave it. |
| 29867 Time is with you, and you travel through it, and all the while it moves away. Time goes on with and without you, though duty may make it wait. |
| 29868 Would ye like to purchase a ticket, then, <SIRMAAM>? |
| 29869 The bridge is not stable, and the end changes place. Call forth the name to summon the path. Choose the most difficult step on the bridge. |
| 29870 Very well, let me see this play of yours, then. |
| 29871 How many more questions will there be? |
| 29872 I will return to answer this later. |
| 29873 The first one, for there is fear in the unknown. |
| 29874 The current one, for it alone is my choice. |
| 29875 No, I'm not interested. |
| 29876 The last one, as the end of the journey is death. |
| 29877 I hope ye doth enjoy the play, then, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 29878 Your first step is not of your choice. You are placed on the bridge that is life by providence. The first step is over before you have begun. |
| 29879 I am truly sorry, <SIRMAAM>... no admittance without a ticket. You will need to speak to the receptionist to purchase one. |
| 29880 What sort of play is this? |
| 29881 Most gracious of ye, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Ye may enter the theater as ye wish... just show your ticket to yon ushers, please. |
| 29882 It is a most dramatic play put on by the fine members of the Sigil troupe. 'Tis better to see than to be described... would ye like the ticket then, mayhap? |
| 29883 Certainly... here is your 5 gold. |
| 29884 No, thanks. |
| 29887 Prison Keeper |
| 29888 As ye wish, then, <SIRMAAM>. Perhaps another time. |
| 29889 Prison Keeper |
| 29890 All of them. Less if the answering is incorrect. |
| 29891 Have ye decided to purchase a ticket, then, <SIRMAAM>? |
| 29892 All right... here is your 5 gold pieces. |
| 29893 What sort of play is this, then? |
| 29894 No, thanks. |
| 29895 Thank you, <SIRMAAM>... go on inside. Hope you enjoy the play. |
| 29896 I am sorry, <SIRMAAM>. We prefer it if you buy a ticket. Speak to the receptionist if you wish to purchase one. |
| 29897 Thank you, <SIRMAAM>... go on inside. |
| 29898 No, Kirinaldo, I cannot! Oh, Rodrigo... Rodrigo! My fair love, where hast thou gone?! |
| 29899 Oh, your lover has abandoned thee, sweet Lunisia. You have only one option left... Turnest thou to me, and let us be wed at last! |
| 29900 Ye stop by anytime, <SIRMAAM>! |
| 29901 Uh... here I am! H-here I am, my... uh... s-sweetums? |
| 29902 Say... that's not the actor they had last time! |
| 29903 *gasp* Yes, Rodrigo! Rodrigo, it is thee at long last! But where have |
| 29904 I've been, uh... across the sea, my fair... um... m-my fair one. Yeah, yes, that's itâ€â€across the sea and, uh... |
| 29905 *ahem* ...and perhaps on the new lands, my lord? |
| 29906 Yes, that's it! On the new lands. Yes, um... |
| 29907 This is terrible! Awful! |
| 29908 Ugh! Where's the actor that was here last time? Ughf! |
| 29909 *AHEM* But... is it Rodrigo? No! No! How can this be?! |
| 29910 Well you should be so... um... confused? (It is confused, right?) |
| 29911 (It is baffled! Baffled!) |
| 29912 Baffled! Yes, well, you should look so baffled, my lord... um... Kirinaldo! 'Twas you who... who... who... |
| 29913 Oh, terrible! Get him off the stage! |
| 29914 ...who, um... which that, uh... i-in a way... |
| 29915 (Psst! Arranged for me to be shipped across the sea!) |
| 29916 Eh? What's that? |
| 29917 *sigh* Yes, you are correct, Rodrigo! 'Twas I that arranged for thy trip across the great ocean! 'Twas, er, um... truly fiendish of me! But how did thy ever come to return so quickly? |
| 29918 Uh... I forget. I'm just the understudy... |
| 29919 Lliira's bane! I refuse to watch this! |
| 29920 You may have defeated us for now, but the Knights of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart will return! |
| 29921 I agreeâ€â€boo! Boo! |
| 29922 Boo! BOO, that's awful! Terrible! |
| 29923 Eugh... oh... oh dear... |
| 29924 I... I am sorry, good folk of the audience. As you can see, things are not quite right with our troupe due to circumstances beyond our control. |
| 29925 I beg of you, good people, come back another day when we have restored matters... we shall prove to you then that the Sigil Troupe is worthy of your attention and coin, and we shall do so for free, of course. |
| 29926 ...and one final... odd... request, good folk. If you or another knows of those who are skilled in the arts of sword and adventure... do send them to speak to me. It is a matter of utmost urgency. |
| 29927 Tell them to come and speak to I, Raelis Shai. Until then, I apologize again and bid you a fair evening... |
| 29928 *sob* I really, really tried... *sob* |
| 29929 *sigh* Without Haer'Dalis as our Rodrigo, I am afraid there is little that we can do. Foolish tiefling, getting caught as he has! |
| 29930 If you have business with us, my <LADYLORD>, I suggest you speak to Raelis. She is the leader of our troupe and our mentor... and she can tell you of our difficulty. |
| 29931 You are most gracious, my <LADYLORD>, to offer your assistance. We thank you, truly... and I am sure Haer'Dalis will appreciate your help as well! |

| 29938 You have failed. Death sends a servant to educate. |
| 29939 The last step is not yours to choose. Another is chosen, and it may become the last step, but circumstance alone grants it. |
| 29940 The current step may be your first and may also become your last. The other two are abstract; this one is yours to choose and shape, though duty may force the choosing. |
| 29941 You have summoned the path and may join in the guarding. Duty awaits you. |
| 29942 You see an elvish woman, a drow, tied to a stake. A mob of people stand near. The occasional shout of "Burn her!" comes from the crowd. Anger and fear cross the drow's countenance. You could cut her down if you wish, but this shall surely anger the crowd. |
| 29943 Boldly, you walk up to the stake and cut the drow woman free. The armed men turn their ire upon you. |
| 29944 There is nothing else that you can do with the stake. |
| 29945 Hello. |
| 29946 That's it? I am a stranger in your time-lost buried city, and all you say is hello? |
| 29947 What is this place? Speak, or suffer my wrath! |
| 29948 Hello yourself. Can I ask you who you are? I don't mean to pry. |
| 29949 What would you have me say? Shall I proclaim the wonder of your arrival? Shall I bemoan the terrible length of the ages? Should my knees buckle at the very sight of you? |
| 29950 I'm sure it would make you feel important, but I've simply no interest in you. I think you'll find we care about very little at all. |
| 29951 Oooh, yes, very threatening. I suppose you are expecting the appropriate response. All right then. Oh my, please spare us. Your descent into our city makes us oh so fearful. |
| 29952 Of course you do, or you would not have asked the question. It matters not at all. I have nothing to hide from you and would not care even if I did. |
| 29953 Then tell me who you are. What is this place? |
| 29954 And I care even less who you are. Just tell me what this place is. |
| 29955 Has life lost all meaning for you? Why stay here if it has? |
| 29956 Ah, you wish the exposition. Typical. I should really write this down so I don't have to keep repeating it. Not that we have had a lot of visitors. |
| 29957 We are the guardians. We guard the temple. This is very important because every few hundred years, someone almost wanders this way. |
| 29958 Ah, hello? I am afraid if you are looking for a refund for tonight's performance, I can only tell you to come back when our troupe is not in such disarray. |
| 29959 Actually, I'm here regarding your call for adventurers. |
| 29960 Why is your troupe in disarray? |
| 29961 This invisible ring cannot be removed from its owner. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 29962 Is this true, child? Fate smiles on us, then, for I can see in your bearing that you are a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of no mean experience. I thank you for coming to our aid. |
| 29963 What is it, exactly, that you need me to do? |
| 29964 I haven't agreed to anything yet. |
| 29965 Who are you people? I don't quite... recognize what race you belong to, if you'll pardon my asking. |
| 29966 The vagaries of fortune blow an ill wind over us. One of our members is absent due to circumstances we cannot control. I am pleased you have come to aid us. |
| 29967 Tell me more about the situation first. |
| 29968 I haven't agreed to help you yet. |
| 29969 Who are you people? I don't quite... recognize what race you belong to, if you'll pardon my asking. |
| 29970 As it pleases you, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I promise that the Sigil troupe will be more pleasing in our performance when you next see us. |
| 29971 You must hear our story, then. One of our actors, Haer'Dalis, has been kidnapped by a wizard native to this city... he has made no effort to negotiate with us. |
| 29972 The wizard's greed may have called to him at the sight of Haer'Dalis's beloved gem... something our sparrow would not gladly surrender. |
| 29973 So this wizard has stolen both away, and there is nothing we can do. I would ask that you return our sparrow and his gem to us both, by whatever means possible. |
| 29974 Who is this wizard, and where can I find him? |
| 29975 Why do you not contact the city guard about this? |
| 29976 What reward might I receive for this task? |
| 29977 No, I am not interested in doing this. |
| 29978 I understand what you ask, child. We are people from distant lands, and all of us are of mixed heritage. Please, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>... will you aid us? |
| 29979 I would need to know what the problem is, exactly. |
| 29980 No, I am not interested. |
| 29981 You do not even know what ails us, and yet you refuse? Perhaps you are not the heroes we seek. Very well, child, I thank you for your interest. |
| 29982 His name is Mekrath, I believe... I know that his lair can be accessed through the city's sewers, though where exactly it lies is a mystery. |
| 29983 Why do you not simply contact the city guard? |
| 29984 I see. And what kind of reward might I be looking at? |
| 29985 Very well, I shall do as you ask, Raelis. |
| 29986 I've no interest in taking on a wizard for you. Forget it. |
| 29987 I am... unsure of your particular customs, but it has never been this Sigil's fortune to be treated fairly by the many city authorities that we have come across. |
| 29988 As well, though Haer'Dalis might be released, would the gem be returned? The wizard could say it is his... and we could offer no proof to the contrary. |
| 29989 No... we must have our brother and his gem both safely returned, with no questions asked of us due to our strangeness. This is the best way. |
| 29990 Tell me who this wizard is, then, and where I might find him. |
| 29991 What kind of reward might I receive for this task, then? |
| 29992 Very well... I shall do as you ask. |
| 29993 Sorry... not interested. |
| 29994 We are but a destitute troupe of players, child, and can afford little. Mekrath may have treasure of his own... Wrest it from his grasp if you wish to do so. |
| 29995 But coin is e'er on the tongue... I can offer you 300 gold for our sparrow's return. Bring back the gem, and I can more than double that. Is that sufficient? |
| 29996 I would like to know who this wizard is and where I can find him first. |
| 29997 I would ask, first, why you do not go to the authorities? |
| 29998 Yes, I shall do as you ask. |
| 29999 No, I am not interested. |
| 30000 *sigh* It is as I feared. If you change your mind, child, please do return... I have a feeling Haer'Dalis will not return soon to our side otherwise. |
| 30001 Fly, then... fetch our brother away from his captor however you might, and return to us soon. My prayers go with you, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 30002 We have forgotten what it is that we guard, we have forgotten how many generations we have been here, and we have forgotten what it is to have a purpose. |
| 30003 But you must be serving some greater plan. Who is the temple dedicated to? |
| 30004 You sound thrilled with your calling. Why do you stay? |
| 30005 What is this affliction you all have? You look to be suffering from a disease. |
| 30006 The temple? It has been so long since we have uttered the god's name it has been forgotten by most. What loyalty do we owe a creature that would condemn us to this? |
| 30007 Back so soon, child? But I see neither our Haer'Dalis nor his gem with you. |
| 30008 I need to know where this Mekrath is again. |
| 30009 All right, I'll keep trying. |
| 30010 Forget it... I've decided not to continue this task. |
| 30011 Excellent, child... the fortunes of our troupe fly with you. |
| 30012 Mekrath's sanctuary and laboratory can be accessed through the city sewers, though where exactly they lie is a mystery. |
| 30013 You have returned once again, child. Have you, perhaps, reconsidered rescuing our poor Haer'Dalis? Our gratitude would be great indeed. |
| 30014 I need to know the full situation first. |
| 30015 Tell me who keeps your actor, then, and where he can be found. |
| 30016 I would like to know what sort of reward I can expect. |
| 30017 Yes, I will do as you ask, Raelis. |
| 30018 No, I haven't changed my mind. |
| 30019 Then have you returned only to torment us with false hope? Leave us, child, and do not return unless you have altered your choice. |
| 30020 Lord Ketlaar Argrim |
| 30021 All the members of the council are kept secret... that way, nobody knows who to bribe, you see. |
| 30022 Then why do you stay? |
| 30023 And this disease you appear to have? What is it? |
| 30024 Then I will try to release you somehow. |
| 30025 The rebellion in the south is caused by demihumans, that's what I think. Never mind ogres and such... it's the elves and the like that are behind it all! |
| 30026 We cannot leave. We cannot even die. We are born again in an endless recycling of our souls. We learn over and over again that we are condemned to a fate we no longer want. |
| 30027 Amn should send more ships and people to the New World... our colonies there should supersede all the others and bring great glory to our nation! |
| 30028 Have you never wondered who is on the Council of Six? I think it's all wizards, that's what... the wizards rule us secretly! |
| 30029 I sometimes think there is no Council of Six... and that the Cowled Wizards and the Shadow Thieves rule all of Amn in secret! |
| 30030 You! A dark elf amongst us! Yet more evidence that the demihumans are coming upon us to rule! |
| 30031 Believe me, rivvil... if the drow were here to rule, you would be well aware of it by now. |
| 30032 Another elf! I swear, suddenly they are everywhere amongst us! Spies, spies all of them, I tell you! |
| 30033 You Amnian are too closed-minded about the demihuman kin that live amongst you in peace... they are not so different from you as you seem to think. |
| 30034 And the temple? Who is it dedicated to? |
| 30035 And what is this disease you are afflicted with? |
| 30036 Then I will try to release you somehow. |
| 30037 I am here to join the glorious army of Amn! There are victories to be had and both coin and women to earn! |
| 30038 When I am finally in the army, I wonder if I will sail to Maztica and join the colonial forces there... what a wonder it would be! |
| 30039 I wonder if the army would send me down south to fight that ogre fellow and his false "Sythillisian Empire"? We would show those creatures what a real war is! |
| 30040 It is the decay of our minds and souls. We grow to hate the power that sustains us, so it rots us from the inside. There is no cure. There is no escape. There is no end. |
| 30041 And the temple? Who is it dedicated to? |
| 30042 Then why do you stay? |
| 30043 Then I will try to release you somehow. |
| 30044 You aren't planning on joining the army? Coward! I'm here and eager to sign up! |
| 30045 I think joining the army is the most noble thing one can do for his nation! I cannot wait to partake in glorious victories! |
| 30046 Hmph. I have been in the army, friend... and it is much more dreary than you think. The victories too are few and far between... and hardly worth the price you are forced to pay. |
| 30047 You there! You look like the knightly sort! Are you in the army? Can I join through you? |
| 30048 I fight for my holy order only. If you wish to join the military and throw your life away in the service of a greedy nation of merchants, you may certainly do so. |
| 30049 *sigh* The weather is quite lovely today, isn't it? We Amnians have it perfect here. Calimshan is too hot, while Waterdeep is too cold, I believe. |
| 30050 If you are too weak to free yourselves, I suppose I should try to. |
| 30051 Never trust a Waterdhavian, that's my advice. They see us Amnians as their rivals and will cheat you in any deal if they get half a chance. |
| 30052 Such a curious thing. I've been waiting for my caravan to return from Trademeet for almost a week now. I wonder if there is trouble out that way? |
| 30053 If you are too weak to free yourselves, I suppose I should try to. |
| 30054 It is so odd to see Waukeen's faithful being taken care by the priests of Lliira. I find the goddess of joy's clerics to be far too giddy to be true patrons of business. |
| 30055 If you are too weak to free yourselves, I suppose I should try to. |
| 30056 Do what you will; there is no escape for us. We have accepted this. We teach it to the newly young, who then teach it to the old that die and are reborn. |
| 30057 You there, elven lass... you have the bearing of one of the lovely courtesans I have seen in this wealthy district. Might I be correct in that observation? |
| 30058 The deal which placed us here has been followed to the letter, and we are never to be released from service no matter how pointless the task. |
| 30059 You certainly are not! And perhaps you should think, sir, before you speak such insults so candidly. |
| 30060 A tempting thought, pet, but my player days are shortly behind me. I have a glorious path of adventure that lies before me for the moment! |
| 30061 You will fail. You cannot help but fail. We know this. We expect nothing other. |
| 30062 You worship suffering like a martyr of Ilmater, but you lack pride or purpose. |
| 30063 Hmm... I have seen you entertaining somewhere, have I not? Might you be for hire, sir? I have a rather important function that I am hosting a week from now. |
| 30064 If you are resigned to your fates, I will simply get what I came for and leave. |
| 30065 Is there nothing that can be done? Have you petitioned your lord? |
| 30066 If you aren't from one of the great families or involved in the mercantile companies, then you aren't much of anyone in Amn. |
| 30067 Those fools in Riatavin should be rounded up and all put to death! The nerve of them trying to break away and join Tethyr! |
| 30068 I think it is terribly foolish that the council's members are kept secret. How do we know who rules us? And just who is my husband supposed to bribe? It's scandalous! |
| 30069 I do not know this name you speak of, but even the name of our own god is lost, so it is not surprising. We direct nothing but loathing to the temple now. |
| 30070 Business has been poor this year... I may have to go without that lovely lacquered new carriage I had my eye on. *sigh* |
| 30071 Well... will you look at that? A little halfling all dolled up in armor and such. Why, aren't you just the cutest thing? |
| 30072 We will not miss what you steal. It has been ages since we have directed anything more than loathing at the temple. Enter if you wish. |
| 30073 You come perilously close to impugning on my honor, lady. I am a warrior of virtue, not something to be mocked. |
| 30074 Wait one moment... I had my change purse here but a scant moment ago? Where could it have gone? How shall I ever do my afternoon shopping? |
| 30075 We cannot petition the unknown. We have not seen a sign for ages, and his name is lost to us now. No, nothing is directed at the temple except loathing. |
| 30076 Look at it this way: Perhaps it is just the gods' way of telling you that there are far more poor who need that coin far more than you, yes? |
| 30077 Take what you will. We are guardians in name only. We might as well be simple mindless skeletons. |
| 30078 (Hurrrm... hurrrmmm.) Very well. You look like one who might... appreciate... such entertainments. There is more to my little place than meets the eye. |
| 30079 You have failed of course. You could do no other. |
| 30080 Hate is here! Here is hate! Attack with anger and feed the hate! The hate! |
| 30081 Mmmm. Hmmm. Eh? Away with you, vagrant! Can you not see that I am trying to decide on a purchase of utmost magnitude?! |
| 30082 Then you have all the mind you need. We have long accepted our fate. There is no end to the duty. Rail against whatever beast is there, but it will do you no good. |
| 30083 I do not know and I do not care. You can do nothing here. There is no end to the duty. Rail against whatever beast is there, but it will do you no good. |
| 30084 All the important people come here, you know. |
| 30085 You're poor, aren't you? Mother says poor people should be kept in the slums. |
| 30086 I have half a mind to leave you depressing people here as you are! |
| 30087 What manner of creature was in there? It actually wanted me to attack it. |
| 30088 Was your god always as warlike as the beast in there? |
| 30089 My father's around here somewhere. He told me to wait until he was finished with his M-I-S-T-R-E-S-S. |
| 30090 My mother and father have a really big house. Do you have a big house? |
| 30091 You look like one of my father's retainers. I demand that you take me home at once! |
| 30092 I am not your servant, and you can find your own way home... or perhaps I turn you into a frog and throw you in the pond, eh? Then that can be your home, brat! |
| 30093 My mother and father leave me alone a lot. They are really busy. |
| 30094 I know how you feel, little boy. You will find some way to express yourself as I did, I am sure. |
| 30095 My father is on the council. Betcha didn't know that, huh? |
| 30096 Whooo walks in the temple of I? Speak of yourself... you are almost beyond the sight of I. |
| 30097 I could say the same of you. Are you the chief resident of this temple? |
| 30098 <CHARNAME> walks here, and I have disposed of your little guardian. |
| 30099 You form out of the very air. What are you? |
| 30100 My father says everybody is a fool. Are you a fool? I bet you are. |
| 30101 My family is the greatest in the world! We can conquer anybody! |
| 30102 I don't feel so good... |
| 30103 You're short, but you're hairy. Are you a little girl like me? |
| 30104 By Arvoreen, child! Are you telling me that you've never seen a halfling before? |
| 30105 Oh, that little hamster is SOOOO cute! Can I have him, sir? |
| 30106 I am I. The temple is I, though it is not safe for even I. The beast does kill my form repeatedly. You have slain it for but a small time. It comes again and again. |
| 30107 You cannot have Boo, little girl! But you may pet him and make pretty cooing noises if you wishes. |
| 30108 The guardian? The beast is not of I. The beast kills the form of I repeatedly. You have slain it for but a small time. It comes again and again. |
| 30109 The temple is I, and I am the temple. It is to me and of me. The beast is not I. The beast does kill my form repeatedly. You have slain it for but a small time. It comes again and again. |
| 30110 The beast is a fell deity, for it has more power than I can muster. My legion of followers feed the creature, and I am weakened and fading. Such power the beast has. |
| 30111 If this is your temple, then you have no legion. Your followers do not follow you. |
| 30112 You are not worshipped here. Those outside feel nothing but loathing. |
| 30113 But they must serve; it is the letter of the agreement. They were to guard, and I would provide for their lives. This was to be for all time. |

| 30120 My apologies for the intrusion, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, but might I prevail upon you for a single gold piece? Times are poor for me an' my kin these months, and I have been reduced to a mere beggar! |
| 30121 Yes, certainly... here you go. |
| 30122 I am sorry, but I cannot help you. |
| 30123 Until what? They die and are reborn to guard against nothing? No one comes. |
| 30124 There must be an end. It has been so long they do not even recall your name. |
| 30125 Begone with you! I have had enough of this infernal begging throughout this city! |
| 30126 You are a kind <PRO_MANWOMAN>, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, and I thank ye truly for your generosity. |
| 30127 Then it is little wonder I cannot defeat the beast. It is their loathing and pathos, and it has become their object of worship, whether they know it or not. |
| 30128 Of course, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... we cannot all afford to help. I shall leave you alone, then. |
| 30129 I... I apologize most profusely, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... I meant no offense! I am simply in dire straits. I... shall leave you be. |
| 30130 The time has passed. I have naught here and will not again. Even the great device has waned in power and is not so epic a danger as once I thought. |
| 30131 Hold! You there! What have I told you about begging in the Government District?! |
| 30132 I weep for my children. Their hate sustains this place, though they would intend otherwise. Had they not thought of me at all, I would have perished, and soon after, so would they. |
| 30133 I... am sorry, sir... truly I am. But all the people with spare coin are here... and... |
| 30134 Tell me, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! This man WAS begging from you, correct? |
| 30135 Well. sixty-three days into the project and we be almost ready t' put shovel to the ground, aye? But I can't be talkin' now... 'tis time for me lunch. |
| 30136 Ah, we be quite ahead on this project, aye? Sixty-three days in and we can almost be beginnin'! But we can't continue now... poor Jerro has gone and busted his foot... |
| 30137 Sixty-three days and countin'... we'll be here by next year, I swear! I would get started on me work, o' course, but I've had a bit o' a head rush. Must sit down for a mite. |
| 30138 Yes, he was. |
| 30139 No, he wasn't. |
| 30140 Irrelevant! This is a decent part of town, and I'll not have filth like you littering about! I warned you the last time that this was your last chance! |
| 30141 As I thought! Come with me, you worthless old fool! |
| 30142 Nooo! PLEEEEAAAASSSE! |
| 30143 ...Oh. I see. Well, it seems I was mistaken, then. My apologies. |
| 30144 Th-thank you! Thank you, you've saved me! My deepest appreciation! |
| 30145 We would continue our work on the project, but 'tis the time o' day we offer thanks t' Gond for th' craft. Yup. Silent prayer, that is. |
| 30146 Ahh... sixty-three days in and we are almost ready to start digging! I am excited! But we can't start now, o' course... 'tis almost time to quit fer the day. |
| 30147 Only sixty-three days into business and already we're about t' dig. Tsk, tsk. Still tryin' to wake me bones from slumber, though... |
| 30148 I would get goin' on the project, but I hears that Dorsan has a wee bit o' gossip to spread o'er there. Can't wait t' hear it! |
| 30149 Sixty-three days into the project... we should be done diggin' the first section by, oh, say, a hundred days or so. I would keep workin' now, but me tummy is rumblin' somethin' fierce! |
| 30150 'Tis a fine job working for the government. The overseer doesn't bother us... sleeps and drinks, mostly. |
| 30151 We've been starting on this building project for the council for sixty-three days now, and we've yet to start digging. Perfect job, isn't it? |
| 30152 We're a team... a team, that's what we are... and as long as we stick together, nobody can make us work! |
| 30153 Perhaps I should hasten the process. Their fate is cruel, and this should end! |
| 30154 If you have a problem, talk to the overseer. No, I don't know where he went... probably sleepin' somewhere. |
| 30155 Is that the end you envision? Death to all that follow you? |
| 30156 Is there anything I can do you help you? |
| 30157 That would be foolish. I am not mortal. Even if you could destroy my form, as long as there are those that think of me, I will return. No, there must be a permanent end to this. |
| 30158 The letter of the bargain was that I protect the great device until the end of time. The creator races were very specific. I will reinterpret the words, for it is surely the end of MY time. |
| 30159 Death would be welcome to them. Not the death they have now, wherein the spirit is still bound to earth, but true death, where they would join me in the Keep of the Eternal Sun. |
| 30160 The intent of the bargain was that the great device would not be used again. If it is indeed the "end of time," then my last act should be to destroy it. I have not the power to do so. |
| 30161 What would give you the power? |
| 30162 It is needed first. Perhaps we could help each other? |
| 30163 Then your people will continue to suffer? |
| 30164 Can't talk, <MANWOMAN>. I'm on duty. |
| 30165 Faith. The belief and conviction of my followers is the lifeblood of power. There must be a way to spur their faith. Open your mind. Perhaps you have knowledge of use. |
| 30166 Undead Beholder |
| 30167 Yes! I see in your mind the way to release this place. You seek the great device for another, though you owe them no allegiance and they intend to kill you. |
| 30168 Unseeing Eye |
| 30169 Unseeing Eye |
| 30170 No, I will not have it. I must end this in such a fashion as to satisfy duty. You, open your mind. Perhaps you have knowledge of use. |
| 30171 *groan* The cause is simple. You will take the great device, the piece that I possess, and ye shall combine it with the piece the creature already has. |
| 30172 Tell my people that you carry the piece that I give you that you might deplete it, that you go to restore its components so that it may be disposed of as a whole, not in part. *groan* My people must know I intend to destroy it when you return... but more, they must know I intend to end their service. |
| 30173 *groan* This simple act of bringing together the two parts of the rod will instill a small amount of faith for an instant. If they are in my presence, such an instant will allow me to destroy the artifact. |
| 30174 I am sorry, <SIRMAAM>, but are you expected? |
| 30175 Have you not the power to do any of this? Why do you need me? |
| 30176 Who lives here? |
| 30177 Er... yes, I am, actually. |
| 30178 You seem weaker as we talk. Perhaps I should just take the device for my own. |
| 30179 What do I get out of this? |
| 30180 The energies of my followers are directed at this place, not at me. Should I try to leave, I would likely lose my form, only to return in the temple some years later. |
| 30181 No, I was just looking around. |
| 30182 This is the abode of Lord Keldorn and his family, <SIRMAAM>. I take it you are... not expected, then? |
| 30183 Lucy |
| 30184 Lord Keldorn? Who is he? |
| 30185 I know this Lord Keldorn you speak of, but I was not aware he lived here. |
| 30186 You must do this. Their loathing sustains the cycle. They must have a moment of hope, such that I will be powered to free them. |
| 30187 I know Keldorn... if it's all the same to you, I shall wait for him here. |
| 30188 The item could be tapped perhaps once, but more than that, it will sap the very life from all of you. It is also beneath the earth for a reason. If you expose it to starlight, you would regret it. |
| 30189 Yes, Lord Keldorn is expecting me, actually. |
| 30190 No, I was just looking around. |
| 30191 Is that so? Well, I do not recognize you, and I find it highly unlikely that the Lady Maria knows of you. Please leave the estate at once, <PRO_SIRMAAM>... I'll not have strangers poking about. |
| 30192 This is a private home, <SIRMAAM>, and I'm sure you shall understand our hesitation at allowing strangers to poke about. Please leave at once. |
| 30193 *sigh* Lord Keldorn is a knight of the Order of the Radiant Heart, <SIRMAAM>. As I do not recognize you, I shall assume you are a stranger. Please leave at once! |
| 30194 No, you must do this for me. It is in your best interest. Use the item once with my blessing to ward you against harm. Return as though at my bidding, and you will free my people. Do this. |
| 30195 Well, now you know, don't you? I do not recognize you, however, and I am sure the Lady Maria is not awaiting your company, so please leave at once. |
| 30196 It is not all the same to me, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I do not recognize you, and the lord rarely comes by his home these days. I shall have to ask you to leave presently. |

| 30203 I will help you. Give me the device. |
| 30204 Just give me the device. I promise nothing. |

| 30206 Just give me the device. I promise nothing. |

| 30208 Count Claylan |
| 30209 You need not promise anything. This device will profit you only so long as you use it as directed. You could study it for years, but you would be as likely to get yourself killed as not. |

| 30220 Have you enjoyed your visit? Of course, you found nothing, and of course, you will leave empty-handed. There is... you... |
| 30221 Chaos prevail! Do you require the services of Talos? |
| 30222 I do. |
| 30223 Not at present. |
| 30224 Leave then, for Talos will only abide your presence for so long. |
| 30225 Some idiot thief has stolen my necklace! Talos curse you, for there shall be no services offered this day! |
| 30226 Oh my... this business between Lord Keldorn and Lady Maria is just terrible! You may come in, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, but I would ask that you not disturb the Lady. |
| 30227 You have the great device! What are you doing with that? It cannot be moved! It has not been moved in millennia! |
| 30228 It is the will of your god that it be taken from this place and weakened! |
| 30229 I have taken it for myself. You cannot stop me. |
| 30230 I do not believe you. Nothing has changed here in ages. If you have the great device, it is only because our god is weaker than we imagined. |
| 30231 A sad, sad state of affairs, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Lady Maria is imprisoned, and the children are understandably upset... I beg that you do not disturb them. |
| 30232 A joyous greeting to you, my <LADYLORD>. I am afraid that Lord Keldorn has not returned yet from his travels with the Lady Maria and his children. You are welcome to come in, however. |
| 30233 Nothing changes here. You will not return. We will not be freed. There is nothing to lend our faith to but hate and loathing. Go. It is the last we will see of you. |
| 30234 You will see. It is to be destroyed when I return. You will be free of your duty. |
| 30235 A joyous greeting to you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Lord Keldorn has returned to us and is awaiting your presence upstairs. |
| 30236 I was not going to try. You simply show how weak our god truly is. It changes nothing. We will remain trapped here whether we've something to guard or not. Go, and be done with you. |
| 30237 Greetings again, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am afraid Lord Keldorn has taken his family on a trip. You are certainly still welcome here. |
| 30238 Please, take the device that the people might know it is my will. They must be given even a moment of faith. |
| 30239 Greetings to you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Lord Keldorn is not with you? Lady Maria is in her room if you wish to speak to her. |
| 30240 Huntley |
| 30241 Welcome, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 30242 Huntley |
| 30243 I am sorry, my <LADYLORD>. The master of this house is dead... I shall have to ask you to leave. |
| 30244 You return? Why? Why have you come back here? You have brought back the great device? |
| 30245 Thieves! We have thieves in the house! GUARDS! |
| 30246 Mistress Ada |
| 30247 I have said it is the will of your lord. It is depleted and is to be destroyed. |
| 30248 The device is of no further use to me. I have returned it. |
| 30249 Mistress Ada |
| 30250 You lie! You must! There is no hope for us here! It has been ages since any sign or change! |
| 30251 Who are you?! What are you doing prowling about my home?! |
| 30252 And that age is over. Is it so hard to fathom? It is simply time for the end. |
| 30253 But it is the great device! It is all-important! It has been this way for centuries! You have simply returned it? This cannot be, unless... |
| 30254 *sob* You are... the companion of my husband? *sob* Away with you! Away! You do nothing but take him further from my side! Oh, I am doomed! |
| 30255 I welcome you into my home, my <LADYLORD>. Is my husband not with you? Ah, it matters not. You may stay here as long as you wish, of course. |
| 30256 Unless this has been arranged from the start. Unless you have been a tool for our lord. It is not possible. |
| 30257 *sob* You? You have killed my husband, have you not? Oh, be away from me! Leave a widow in peace! |
| 30258 I welcome you to your home once again, my husband. Hopefully, your final quest shall not take you away from me for long. |
| 30259 You have taken what purpose we had left. There is no end here. |
| 30260 That is my wish as well, my love. Soon. |
| 30261 Perhaps he is stronger than you think? Perhaps you should see for yourself. |
| 30262 Unlikely. I do what I wish. Have you checked the temple to learn his will? |
| 30263 Mama? MAMA, THIEVES! AIIIIEEE! |
| 30264 *sob* Go away! |
| 30265 This cannot be. You cannot be the herald of change. It is not possible. I... I must see for myself. I must hear the word. We all must. |
| 30266 Daddy, how could you do this?! I hate you! |
| 30267 Please do not scorn me, child. I am only doing as I must. |
| 30268 Daddy, how could you do this to Mommy?! I hate you! |
| 30269 I intend to work things out with your mother, child. Please... wait but a short while. |
| 30270 There is nothing here. There is never anything here but the stench of our hate. |
| 30271 *sob* Go away! *sob* I don't want to talk to anybody... especially Daddy! |
| 30272 Why should he come to you? Do you bother to offer his name in tribute? |
| 30273 Your faith has brought you back in his sight. Will you not at least try his name? |
| 30274 Hello! |
| 30275 Who are you?! Oh, my... thieves! THIEVES! |
| 30276 *sniff* Please leave me alone, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 30277 The name has not been spoken outside of a curse for a generation. There has been no sign, and there has been no point. |
| 30278 I wish we could have just been left with Lord William! He was a better father, at least! Just... just leave me alone! |
| 30279 That is all you place here. Why should you get a reward for that? |
| 30280 *sob* Go away! *sob* You killed my daddy! |
| 30281 Hello to you! |
| 30282 *sob* G-g-get out of here! Leave m-me alone, you! |
| 30283 What we placed was earned! We were abandoned to our endless duty while our lord slept! Our faith weakened, and we... and we abandoned him, except in curses. |
| 30284 I have given the sign. What will you do with it? |
| 30285 Then stay here for eternity while your souls rot! What god would have you? |
| 30286 I will... I ... |
| 30287 Amaunator! Your people call to you! I, Agru Tindul, Sunlord of the Third House, pursuant to your Conduct of Worship contract, do hereby give my voice to your name. We ask... please... we call to you. |
| 30288 Please... we have need of you. |
| 30289 I remember this place... creatures among two apprentices, as I recall. I can assure you they are all dead now. |
| 30290 Is that so? Well, then... you have done us a favor already. You may go inside... but I warn you to keep to the first floor, my friend. |
| 30291 I hear... You who have suffered, who still suffer. The time is at an end. Letter of the law states that we guard until the end of time. Our time has ended. |
| 30292 Then... what is left to do? |
| 30293 Nothing. Your task is done. You will all sit by the side of Amaunator in the Keep of the Eternal Sun. The old enemies are gone, and duty is well enough fulfilled. |
| 30294 Praise be to the keeper of time, that he should let it end for the just. |
| 30295 *groan* This is the end of things. Rest your mind in my heart. Rest... |
| 30296 The god that deserves us! We were abandoned to duty! We honored all except... except his name... |
| 30297 You wanna see what we made? You go into the temple and see what we made. We can't because it's ours. We forget. You can see it, but cannot fight it. |
| 30298 What are you talking about, child? |
| 30299 You speak beyond your years. How old are you? |
| 30300 Why do you speak in riddles, girl? |
| 30301 You will see. I cannot see, but that's because it's mine. You will see. Cannot fight it. |
| 30302 I am nine years in this life. They say my soul is the oldest of us. I am tired. Go see what we made. It's pretty. I wish I could see it. Can't fight it. |
| 30303 Riddles twist around what I say. I never move from this place, but my words travel. See what they bring? You should. They will help you. I will grow old again and not care. For now, I will laugh. |
| 30304 What were you saying about something I cannot fight? |
| 30305 Why can't you see something that is yours? |
| 30306 What can I not fight? What do you speak of? |
| 30307 You cannot see whatever it is because it is yours? What do you mean? |
| 30308 It is yours, but you cannot see it? What do you mean? |
| 30309 What can't I fight? What do you mean? |
| 30310 Send our thoughts to the temple, we do. Thoughts of wounded faith. Can you fight a wound in faith? Go away. My fun is done years ago. |
| 30311 The fanatic is always right. Cannot see his hatred. It is his, but he cannot see. |
| 30312 Have you seen? Is it pretty? A nice red? |
| 30313 Why can I not fight what is in there? |
| 30314 Why can't you see what is in there, even if it is yours? |
| 30315 Leave me alone. You just leave and go. |
| 30316 How old are you, child? |
| 30317 I will soon. I just want to look around. |
| 30318 What is there to see around here, little one? |
| 30319 Doesn't matter. I'll be old and then young a dozen more times. Go away. |
| 30320 Nothing to see, nothing to do. Just go. |
| 30321 You, and you're nothing new. Gonna leave and we're not. Go away. |
| 30322 Away with you, shadows. We are in darkness already. |
| 30323 What do you mean by that? I am no shadow. |
| 30324 I will go where I wish. Are you going to stop me? |
| 30325 Why do you choose to remain here? |
| 30326 What is this? Intruders within Mekrath's domain? What brings you here, foolish <PRO_MANWOMAN>...? Speak quickly, for I do not suffer errant fools gladly! |
| 30327 I am here to free Haer'Dalis, your captive! Give him to me now! |
| 30328 I seek adventure. But if there is none to be had here, then you are of little use to me. |
| 30329 Do not threaten me, wizard... I go where I like. |
| 30330 Sorry to intrude... I shall be on my way, then. |
| 30331 Your death brings me here, wizard! |
| 30332 Give you the little thief? Now why should I do such a thing when he has made me such a perfect little slave, hm? |
| 30333 Thief? What are you talking about? He's an actor! |
| 30334 Name your price, wizard. |
| 30335 You'll release him to me... and his gem... or you'll meet your end at my hands! |
| 30336 Ha ha... spoken boldly, <MANWOMAN>. I may have a use for one such as you, if you truly seek adventure. Might you be interested in such an... escapade? |
| 30337 I might be... what sort of task do you speak of? |
| 30338 Adventure comes with its rewards... name what you offer, and I'll consider it. |
| 30339 No, I do not think I am. |
| 30340 Not within my sanctum you do not! This is my place of power, fool! Challenge me only if you dare... |
| 30341 So be it! One less wizard in this world shall draw no tears! |
| 30342 I have no interest in fighting you. |
| 30343 Then get out! I have little enough patience for such hindrances; I'll not have you bothering me any further! |
| 30344 You dare to attack me?! In my own sanctum?! Foolish <MANWOMAN>! I shall enjoy rending you limb from limb with my magic! |

| 30349 Perhaps he is at that; it matters little to me. He stole into my sanctum as a thief... I captured him, and it amuses me to keep him as my slave. |
| 30350 I thought you kidnapped him because of his gem? |
| 30351 Name your price, then, for his freedom. |
| 30352 Regardless, you'll turn him... and his gem... over to me at once! |
| 30353 My price, hm? Well... I do have a minor matter that needs to be taken care of. Perform the task, and I shall hand the foolish thief over to you. Agreeable? |
| 30354 You'll hand him and his gem over, you mean. |
| 30355 Very well. What sort of task are you proposing? |
| 30356 No, it's not! I'll not perform your dirty work, wizard! Die! |
| 30357 His gem? Ah... THAT gem. I see what game you are up to, little <MANWOMAN>, and it shall not work! I'll not be divested of my gem by thieves and fools! |
| 30358 Do not lie to me, wizard! Hand them both over now! |
| 30359 What are you talking about? What game? |
| 30360 Ah, this is the one! Tch... the moronic beast has cracked it! Pfah! It shall take weeks to repair. I certainly hope you killed the imp for this indignity! |
| 30361 An annoying little imp shed his magical collar a week or so ago, leaping about and causing much havoc. I attempted to capture him, but he was too quick. |
| 30362 He escaped... and took a rather important device I was experimenting on. A mirror. Unusable if you do not know the proper incantations. I would like it back. |
| 30363 Haletlatess Jillian |
| 30364 The imp has likely escaped to the sewers... and your travel there would save me the time and aggravation of retrieving it. |
| 30365 Haletlatess Jillian |
| 30366 A word of caution... the imp may have picked up an incantation or two and may have... used... the mirror. One can only guess what it might have summoned up. |
| 30367 What sort of reward might I expect for saving you this trouble? |
| 30368 I remember the imp... and I have the mirror with me here. |
| 30369 I remember the imp... and I have the mirror with me here. |
| 30370 Very well... I shall seek out this item and return. |
| 30371 No, I am not interested in performing this task for you. |
| 30372 Forget it... hand over the actor and his gem now or suffer your end at my hands! |
| 30373 Well, aside from forgiving your intrusion into my presence, I am sure I can find something suitably rewarding for you, little <MANWOMAN>. |
| 30374 Just what is this task, then, that you wish me to do? |
| 30375 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless Their machinations be damned, I have decided to take a more direct route with this cult. Brute force will earn their respect, though the violence has apparently summoned their god, the blind beholder itself. Once he is dead, I should return to the temple. |
| 30376 That is not good enough. I am not interested. |
| 30377 I tire of this constant barrage of thievery! You shall not get your hands upon my gem, little <MANWOMAN>. Now you shall suffer the other one's fate! |
| 30378 But... you must be rewarded, as we agreed. There is a slave... a thief I caught recently... that should be more than adequate. |
| 30379 I, for one, will need to gather some materials to fix this blasted mirror. I trust you will not be bothering me again... |
| 30380 What? A slave? I have no use for a slave! |
| 30381 I suppose that will have to do. |
| 30382 Run along, then, and return once you have the mirror. |
| 30383 Well, that is all you are going to get, little <PRO_MANWOMAN>! I will not be lowered to petty bargaining. I have no use for the man, so he is yours. |
| 30384 Good. I am going to find some materials to fix this blasted mirror. I trust we shall not be seeing each other again... I shall not be disturbed a second time. |
| 30385 I will not be cheated in this fashion, wizard! I'll take my payment out of your hide! |
| 30386 I suppose that will have to do then, won't it? |
| 30387 Well... what is it? You have the mirror, I assume?! |
| 30388 Yes, I do. Here you go. |
| 30389 Yes, I do. Here you go. |
| 30390 No, I don't... and I do not intend on getting it either. |
| 30391 No, I don't, and I'll not waste my time on the task. You will hand over the actor and his gem to me now! |
| 30392 No, I don't, but I intend to find it. |
| 30393 Then do so! And do so quickly, as my patience wears thin! |
| 30394 You again?! I tire of these constant interruptions! What is it NOW, foolish <PRO_MANWOMAN>?! And your answer had better be a good one! |
| 30395 You have a captive... I wish him turned over to me right now! |
| 30396 Do not threaten me, wizard... I go where I like! |
| 30397 I seek adventure. But if there is none to be had here, then you are of little use to me. |
| 30398 You will die, wizard... good enough an answer?! |
| 30399 Very well... I shall leave you to your irritable solace, then. |
| 30400 You shall not! I will not be interrupted by your like again! |
| 30401 No, perhaps not, but we are in darkness. The light of the sun did shine, but it has gone away, and we curse the night. Leave us be; you can do nothing. |
| 30402 It is my duty to do so, but duty has failed me, so now I fail it. No, I will not stop you, but neither can you do anything to me. Leave. There is nothing for you here. |
| 30403 It has been a long time since I have chosen to do anything. Even escaping into death is beyond us. You can choose, so choose to go. I do not wish you here to mock us with your freedom. |
| 30404 What is this disease that you are afflicted with? |
| 30405 Some think it is the withering of our souls. Others hope it is a punishment, because that would mean someone is interested in our fates. We do our duty, and we remain ill. That is all that matters. |
| 30406 Soon to sleep and wake. No sooner dead than born. Stay here too long and you may find yourself strapped to the wheel of fortune too. |

| 30410 This shrine is dedicated to the memory of Anomen's sister, Moira. Her ashes are kept within. |
| 30411 Lord Anomen! Welcome home! I'm afraid that you've arrived at a bad time. You should not enter when your father is like this. |
| 30412 Thank the gods! That gnome is the most annoying prisoner I ever had! He's constantly picking the lock, complaining of my personal hygiene... Take him! Just pay the damn 800 gp! |
| 30413 Ah, the fabled savior of yonder gnome. You've come to pay his fine? |
| 30414 Yes, I would like to pay his fine. |
| 30415 I don't know what you're talking about. What gnome? |
| 30416 He would like to think so, but I am not planning to pay his way out of jail. |
| 30417 I'm afraid that I don't have enough gold right now. |
| 30418 I've changed my mind. Enjoy your day! |
| 30419 Here is your gold. |
| 30420 Look, I can spot you 200 gp. Do you have just 600 gp? |
| 30421 Yes, I do. It's a deal. |
| 30422 I'm afraid that I just don't have enough. |
| 30423 I refuse to take your charity. You'll simply have to wait. |
| 30424 You're not <CHARNAME>? Ah well. I suppose I shall have to cling to the hope that someone will bail him or at least buy me enough liquor to drink myself senseless. |
| 30425 Ah well. I suppose I shall have to cling to the hope that someone will bail him out or at least buy me enough liquor to drink myself senseless. |
| 30426 Am I to be cursed with this gnome forever? You're driving me to drink! If you have it in your heart to take pity on a simple man, come back and pay the fine. |
| 30427 Excellent! He is free, so please, take him and go. |
| 30428 Most excellent! He is free, so please, take him and go. Remember, you do owe me 200 gp. |
| 30429 Are you back to repay that loan I gave you? |
| 30430 Yes. Here's the money. Thanks for the loan. |
| 30431 I'm a bit short right now. |
| 30432 Maybe later. |
| 30433 Well, don't take forever. I've got an enormous tab racked up at the Sea's Bounty. |
| 30434 Much obliged. Now take a hike if you haven't any other business here. |

| 30443 In fact, I'll wager me clan's name that the predictable sods are on the roof o' the Copper Coronet as we speak. Best we hurry to catch their thieving red hands! |
| 30444 Ahhh... my head spins with sullen fire and strange lurid notions instead of memories. But... what is this? |
| 30445 My... ah, my head clears, filled with stars and liquid fire... and I see before me the... new holders of my shackles? The wizard has released me, I see, only to pass my reins to another. |
| 30446 Brigands in my home, is it? Bah, where are the guards?! GUARDS! |
| 30447 You there! You are trespassing in the home of the Vice-Regent of Athkatla! You will remove yourself from this place immediately! |
| 30448 Who be you then? I've no time for chatter, and I'll not have roustabouts lounging about my home. |
| 30449 What's this disturbance about? I've cataloging to do, and you're disrupting my concentration. |
| 30450 Shagbag |
| 30451 Shagbag |
| 30452 No need for a fuss. We just wanted to know who you were. |
| 30453 And what if I want to lounge about your home? Who will stop me? |
| 30454 Sorry to have disturbed you; I meant no offense. |
| 30455 I make a habit of acquiring old tomes, but it concerns you not. If I get business I need a spare hand for, I will place a poster at the local pub. Beyond that is my affair alone, so be on your way. |

| 30459 Goon |
| 30460 My well-paid guards, of course. No doubt it would reflect very badly upon you to conflict with sanctioned city militia. I may be a simple collector of tomes, but I know the value of security. |
| 30461 Go on now, and perhaps we will both live to deal in the future. I've nothing for you at the moment. |
| 30462 None taken if you leave with haste. Perhaps we can deal in the future, but I've many under me already. |
| 30463 Sir Ryan Trawl |
| 30464 Sir Ryan Trawl |
| 30465 Welcome to the home of Acton Balthis, currently Vice-Regent for the council of Athkatla, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Er... Lord Balthis is not here. Might I ask your purpose? |
| 30466 Pimlico is your name? I have heard you are looking for a particular old tome. |
| 30467 And what if I intend to disrupt you? Who will stop me? |
| 30468 I'll be leaving then. Sorry to have bothered you. No offense meant. |
| 30469 Archer |
| 30470 Archer |
| 30471 I would like to speak to Lord Balthis. |
| 30472 Vice-Regent? I thought all members of the council were secret? |
| 30473 I am here to help myself to your lord's belongings... kindly step aside. |
| 30474 I was just looking around... I'll be on my way. |
| 30475 Lord Balthis is a very important personage and has no time for impromptu meetings. For an appointment, speak to the council secretary in the government building. |
| 30476 And who might have told you that? That fool Shagbag? No, it was his fellow Korgan, wasn't it? Awfully wordy, even by my standards. Likes to hear himself talk. |
| 30477 Now, if that is everything, I shall have to ask you to leave, my <LADYLORD>. Lord Balthis would wish the privacy of his home respected. |
| 30478 Regardless, yes, I am looking for an old tome. It is a book of verse, ancient and rare. You are too late though; I already hired a group of heavyhands to get it. |
| 30479 Hmph. Lord Balthis is not a member of the council per se, but he acts on their behalf. Someone must govern, even when the councilors are not in session. |
| 30480 The men hired don't have it yet. I think Korgan was having trouble with them. |
| 30481 What if I were to try and retrieve it myself? |
| 30482 I don't much care who brings it to me. I will pay you as much as the other fellows. Just don't damage the thing. It's entitled "The Book of Kaza." Off with you. A word of advice, however: You'll need help from one of the other fellows. Only they know where the book is. |
| 30483 Wh-what?! Thieves! THIEVES! |
| 30484 Arresting Soldier |
| 30485 Arresting Soldier |
| 30486 Well, the illustrious home of the Vice-Regent is hardly the place to perform your sightseeing. Please leave immediately. |
| 30487 Arresting Officer |
| 30488 Arresting Officer |
| 30489 Excuse me... this is the home of Lord Acton Balthis, Vice-Regent to the council, not a place for ruffians to barge in and muck about! Please leave immediately. |
| 30490 Pimlico Guard |
| 30491 Pimlico Guard |
| 30492 *sigh* Was there something else you wished? |
| 30493 I would like to meet with Lord Balthis. |
| 30494 You said that Lord Balthis was Vice-Regent for the council... but I thought members of the council were secret? |
| 30495 Mage |
| 30497 Mage |
| 30498 What else can you tell me about Lord Balthis? |
| 30499 Do not take that tone with me, servant. |
| 30500 Chief Inspector Brega |
| 30501 No, I'll be on my way. |
| 30502 Chief Inspector Brega |
| 30503 Delryn Door Guard |
| 30504 Delryn Door Guard |
| 30505 Why, Lord Balthis is a great man, with a great interest in art... his collection of sculptures is very fine. But there is little you need to know about him. |

| 30511 Mekrath |
| 30512 Mekrath |
| 30513 Hah! Your bluster does not intimidate me! I am personal servant to the Vice-Regent. Take your presence elsewhere! |
| 30514 Quataris |
| 30515 Quataris |
| 30516 Korgan? I thought you were dead. Ahh, perhaps Shagbag and those others were getting ahead of themselves. |
| 30517 I am yours to command. |
| 30518 I'll be getting ahead of them meself, if only to trip them up and feed them the dirt beneath my feet. Run off they did, planning to abscond with me share of the bounty. |
| 30519 Well, you'd best hurry then. I'll pay whoever puts the book in my hand. I shouldn't like to see you out of the bargain; you were the most coherent of the lot of them. |
| 30520 Shar guides my hand. |
| 30521 I ain't above putting a load of me fist in a few faces though, and sure enough, they will get it. I'll off then, and catch them before they deliver the paperbound. |
| 30522 Thief |
| 30523 Either way, I will win. Good luck then. |
| 30524 Victory shall be ours! You know this. |
| 30525 Luck ain't no mattermind. Let's away to the garden of the dead. Methinks there be the best bet for the reader. I've a swift kick in the codpiece fer each of the gong-farmers ahead of us as well. |
| 30526 Folt xund! |
| 30527 I serve Shar above all others, but I shall remain with you... for now. |
| 30528 Vith'os! |
| 30529 Vith'ir! |
| 30530 Thief |
| 30531 Good luck. May the fastest team of lunatics win. |
| 30532 Sir Anomen |
| 30533 Thrice over their graves I'll be dancin', I swear! Stolen from under me! I do the work of ferretin' out where the blasted book will be, and those crackgnats take it away! |
| 30534 My weapon is faulty! |
| 30535 I will carry no more. You may scrounge for what I have dropped upon the ground. |
| 30538 My thoughts are disrupted. My magic is lost! |
| 30540 Time for a quick exit, I would say! |
| 30541 Things are going well for us, yes? It's a dangerous path, but we manage well for ourselves. |
| 30542 We must away! This tomb looks not a day defiled! If we get back to Pimlico's before these fools do, mayhap I can catch them and retake what should be mine! Shagbag needs a killin'! |
| 30543 I'm not worried. I am sure these... setbacks are only temporary. |
| 30544 You had best alter your thinking, my friend, or you can forget about the company of Yoshimo! |
| 30545 Very well. If you will not listen to sense, I have no compelling reason to remain. |
| 30546 An odd choice. Have you been hit in the head with a rock as of late? I? In the front? Well, it is your call... |
| 30547 I'm with you! |
| 30548 Go on your own. I tire of these games. |
| 30549 I must have rest soon, my friend. I have no wish to be weary when my skills call for careful concentration. |
| 30550 Hm! It is either feast or famine with you. We are either hurried beyond endurance or bored witless, it seems. |
| 30551 Pay attention... you will get no second chance! |
| 30552 Who be you? We've been served and serviced fine and fine already. No splitting the tip or you get all the less. |
| 30553 Fear is for those of no confidence! |
| 30554 KAI! |
| 30555 A pity it is. Ah well... |
| 30556 What are you on about now, Korgan? |
| 30557 Something to say? |
| 30558 What is it? Is there something wrong? |
| 30560 Nothing is mattering all that much. I's just lamenting the turn of the coin that has taken me book-gold. I bet me lost party boys have long gone with the loot by and by. |
| 30561 No matter, as I say. More profit with you bozos in the long run, I'll wager. Let the fools drink up their stolen. I'll get them one day or 'nother. |
| 30563 Nothing. Sorry for bothering you. |
| 30564 What are you doing on the roof of the Copper Coronet? |
| 30565 We have a mutual friend, you and I. Does the name Pimlico mean anything? |
| 30566 Augh! A little help here... |
| 30567 My thieving skills will be of little use here. What wealth does a bear drop in the woods? |
| 30568 Ah, yes, the city. With all its people and their accumulated wealth, yes? |
| 30569 Be doubly careful. I'm sure all manner of stupid mousetraps await our toes in the dark. |
| 30570 What do they say... about daylight and thieves? Oil and water? |
| 30571 Ahhh. My skills are at their best while under this blanket of darkness, my friend. |
| 30572 I am ready, I think. |
| 30573 What do you need? I am skilled in avoidance. |
| 30574 You require my counsel, yes? |
| 30575 Where shall I display my skill and expertise? |
| 30576 If memory serves... |
| 30577 Sou desu ne? |
| 30578 I can dance on the head of a pin as well. |
| 30579 Fleet of foot and all that. |
| 30580 Yoshimo is willing. |
| 30581 You're right behind me, right? |
| 30582 Very well. Hai-ya. |
| 30583 Yokatta. |
| 30584 You didn't used to travel with a dwarf named Korgan, did you? |
| 30585 Right you should be. Get on and off. We've gold to be spending. |
| 30586 Drinking hard and laying easy. A fine place it is to watch the sun through a bag o' coins. We'll take to foot in but a day, so's you should sod off until then. This seat's taken for a fortnight. |
| 30587 Then I'll leave you be. Sorry for bothering you. |
| 30588 We may know some of the same people. Does Pimlico ring a bell? |
| 30589 I don't suppose you remember a dwarf named Korgan, do you? |
| 30590 Don't speak ill or well of the dead 'round here, fool. What do you know of that name? Hmm? Seen something you shouldn't have? |
| 30591 Didn't mean to disturb you. I'll go. |
| 30592 I've seen what I needed to. You have stolen and murdered. I want a share. |
| 30593 The eyes of justice are unblinking. You are murderers and will pay for it. |
| 30594 You know that shrimpkin? Come to take some pokes at the better men in the little bugger's name? What do you want, exactly? |
| 30595 Nothing. I'll just be on my way. |
| 30596 A piece of what was stolen from him. I want a share. |
| 30597 To right the wrong you have done! |
| 30598 I don't think I'll be letting you leave so easy. You've a pretty picture of what we've been up to if you know that name. I think it's time for you to depart the coil, as it were. |
| 30599 Uh... killin' then? |
| 30600 Yes, you idiot. Killin'. |
| 30601 No, no, I dinnae think such a thing will happen. You'll be a days dead before you get a coin for your threat. I ain't one to bargain. |
| 30602 Then set your fury on the ground, and we'll see if it stands up. I doubt it muchly. |
| 30603 A fine days the days the days. Heheee, I's the gold to dance wit' queens... Hey! Get out of me view! You'll get a coin o'er yer eyes if you bother me again. |
| 30604 Take a leap. I'm no for talking. Chew your leg I will! Munch munch! |
| 30605 Is there somethin' that ye need, citizen? |
| 30606 Who are you? |
| 30607 Nothing dangerous, I would hope. |
| 30608 Whatever you need, I do it well. |
| 30609 No, I'll be going. |
| 30610 Chief Inspector Brega, at yer service. I work under the magistrate, investigatin' the crimes in the city, and there are plenty that require my attention, believe you me. |
| 30611 What can you tell me of the murders in the Bridge District? |
| 30612 I am told that magic is illegal in Athkatla... is this true? |
| 30613 Haiii-ya! Heh, the tourists love that stuff. |
| 30614 I'll be going now. |
| 30615 Kaiii! ...Yeah! |
| 30616 Embarrassing! |
| 30617 I hit... to no effect? |
| 30618 I must apologize, but I can carry no more. I have set your item upon the ground. |
| 30619 I have made something mine, and none are the wiser. |
| 30620 All the world is blind to my passing. |
| 30621 My magic is lost! |
| 30622 A trap most devious for the careless of foot. |
| 30623 Gods of nature, protect me! |
| 30624 We are the embodiment of balance. The greater cycle will turn evenly with our influence. |
| 30625 A momentary lapse, perhaps, but I fear this course will upset the greater picture. We must strive to maintain balance within ourselves. |
| 30626 I fear our spirits list to one side, as the wheat that struggles against the wind. We must calm the storm with balance if we are to reap the harvest. |
| 30627 I look to the greater picture, and I see we are tipping the balance. I am sorry, but I cannot help you any further. |
| 30628 I will lead with gentle certainty, as the river shapes the rocks it flows through. |
| 30629 Each day's cycle must include rest... All of nature's creatures suffer without it. |
| 30630 The seasons move with patient elegance, but we are just lazy. Quicken our step. |
| 30631 With nature's fury! |
| 30632 For the greater balance! |
| 30633 The silence of nature will claim you! |
| 30634 On your way, then. |
| 30635 Very little. Lieutenant Aegisfield is in the Bridge District as the main investigator. All I can say is to watch yourself at night if you must be out. |
| 30636 I am told that magic is illegal in Athkatla... is this true? |
| 30637 I am told that magic is illegal in Athkatla... is this true? |
| 30640 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 30641 The use of magic is illegal unless sanctioned by the council, like the Cowled Wizards are. It leads to chaos; just look at the damage in the promenade. |
| 30642 What happens to people who are arrested by the Cowled Wizards? |
| 30643 Where can I find these Cowled Wizards? |
| 30644 Do you know anything about that incident in the promenade? |
| 30645 I see. Well, I'll be going. |
| 30646 Death is natural in the grand scheme... but... this is not my time. Help me, please. |
| 30647 In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks. |
| 30648 It is interesting to me that the most ardent builders of cities look to nature for their forms and tools. |
| 30649 These places can be home to the harshest of nature's creatures. They will not suffer intruders gracefully. |
| 30650 Another day of sun or cloud. The great cycles continue. |
| 30651 Even in the darkest hours, nature is awake. Would that more of us had the eyes to see. |
| 30652 I am here to serve. |
| 30653 What is it that you ask? |
| 30654 Have you a problem? |
| 30655 Speak and I shall listen. |
| 30656 Tell me what must be done. |
| 30657 Nature is at the ready. |
| 30658 I could do no less. |
| 30659 If it serves the greater good. |
| 30660 I understand. |
| 30661 Balance be served. |
| 30662 As you would have it. |
| 30663 The handling of magic-users is not my province. Only the Cowled Wizards know for sure... what matters to the council is that they deal with it. |
| 30664 Where can I find the Cowled Wizards, then? |
| 30665 Do you know anything about that incident in the promenade you mentioned? |
| 30666 Very well, I'll be going. |
| 30667 You don't. Nor would I suggest attempting to do so. The Cowled Wizards are dangerous. I would pray that they do not discover your interest. |
| 30668 What do the Cowled Wizards do with those they arrest? |
| 30669 Do you know anything about that incident in the promenade you mentioned? |
| 30670 I see. Well, I'll be going, then. |
| 30671 The Cowled Wizards arrested two magic users. Shadow Thieves were also involved, apparently attacking one of the wizards. Beyond that... no, I know very little. |
| 30672 What do the Cowled Wizards do with those they arrest? |
| 30673 How do I find the Cowled Wizards? |
| 30674 Why would the Shadow Thieves be interested in attacking a wizard? |
| 30675 I see. Well, I'll be going, then. |
| 30676 If you wish. |
| 30677 Nature acts in the simplest way. |
| 30678 May the cycle be preserved. |
| 30679 A bird in hand gathers no moss... or some such. |
| 30680 Nature strikes! |
| 30681 Naught but air! |
| 30682 This is simply unnatural! |
| 30683 I can carry no more. I must place my burden upon the earth. |
| 30684 I have taken something, though everything belongs to nature. |
| 30685 Hmph. I don't know. Why don't you ask them? |
| 30686 Aren't you interested? Isn't that your job? |
| 30687 What do the Cowled Wizards do with those they arrest? |
| 30688 How do I find the Cowled Wizards? |
| 30689 I see. Well, I'll be going, then. |
| 30690 The shadows of the earth have concealed me. |
| 30691 *sigh* I'll tell you what my job isn't... it isn't being forced to listen to idiots like yourself. Good day. |
| 30692 I should use nature's magic. It is more reliable than this. |
| 30693 A trap is set. May its victim be deserving. |
| 30694 Cry for your lives; they are over! |
| 30695 Lock of Jaheira's Hair |
| 30696 Ahhh, good business to you, my <LADYLORD>! My name is Quataris... might you be interested in some artwork? A painting to add style to your abode? |
| 30698 I don't think so. Nothing here really suits my taste. |
| 30699 Lock of Jaheira's Hair |
| 30700 Well, I am afraid that I am only a purveyor of fine works of art. If you are not a customer of refinement and wealth, then you have no interest in being here, I am sure. Good business to you. |
| 30701 Keepsake Locket |
| 30702 Keepsake Locket |
| 30703 I am sorry, friend... I see there is nothing here to interest you. If you ever run across any... spare... works of art, I am always happy to buy. Otherwise, good business to you. |

| 30709 I'm busy, okay? I'm busy! |
| 30710 Have you nothing else to do but bother me? |
| 30711 Ye-es, master, what shall I fetch now? |
| 30712 Oh, all right! |
| 30713 Yes, yes, I see. |
| 30714 One day... one day... |
| 30715 If I must. |
| 30716 Very well. |
| 30717 "Edwin, do this." "Edwin, do that." Somebody get this jerk a banana. |
| 30718 Ha! Fear me! |
| 30719 Bah! Useless weapon! |
| 30720 Pfeh. This weapon is worthless! |
| 30721 I will carry no more. Find your trinket upon the ground. |
| 30722 The fool saw nothing. Such simple larceny. |
| 30723 I am concealed, though I see no need. |
| 30724 My spell disrupted?! Augh! |
| 30725 I prefer to attack more directly, but a trap will do for now. |
| 30726 Now I remember why traveling with you was always so much fun. |
| 30727 I think all this has really changed you. Come on, this isn't like us at all. |
| 30729 If I have to fight to get out of here, so be it! |
| 30730 You're not gonna keep me here! |
| 30731 I wish I could spend more time in the forest. Oh, it feels so alive. |
| 30732 I don't feel like I fit in with the people in the city anymore. |
| 30733 Glad to see another day. I think the light hurts my eyes though. |
| 30734 Might as well be up and about. I don't think I'd sleep anyway. |
| 30735 Yep? |
| 30736 Whatchu want? |
| 30737 Name it. |
| 30738 Ready and willing. |
| 30739 Somethin' up? |
| 30740 Time to move? |
| 30741 Right as rain. |
| 30742 Just like old times. Well, except for the torture and all. |
| 30743 Master Quataris is the art collector, not I. Speak to him. |
| 30744 Watch your step... there are a lot of valuables here, and they are protected well. |
| 30745 I brook no thievery in this store. Behave yourself. |
| 30746 Gotcha good! |
| 30747 Next time... |
| 30748 Gotta try something else. |
| 30749 Sorry, but I couldn't hold that last item. It's on the ground. |
| 30750 Easy as pie. |
| 30751 Now you see me, now you don't. |
| 30752 Ugh! The magic fizzled. |
| 30753 Shh! It's set and ready to go. |

| 30761 You asked for it! |
| 30762 Oh, I'll show you a fight! |
| 30764 I'm weak enough without my wounds. Someone give me a hand over here, please? |
| 30765 Fall, creature! And feed the earth! |
| 30766 Nature take the life she gave! |
| 30767 It is about time. |
| 30768 Speak your mind. |
| 30769 I am willing. |
| 30770 You require nothing more? |
| 30771 If you think it is wise to do so. So much comes back to haunt us. |
| 30772 With vengeance! |
| 30773 Lennah |

| 30835 Riatavin? What's going on there? |
| 30836 This doesn't really mean that much to me. |
| 30837 Listen up, all. Riatavin and Trailstone petitioned to join Tethyr a few tendays ago, but talks collapsed under covenants gone bad. Now Riatavin wants back in. |
| 30838 The real tales behind the proclamations! Each morning, I've scuttlebutt on the fat and dirt on the pure. The call of the cock and I roll from my rock! |
| 30839 'Allo! 'Allo! More Tethyrian exiles landing in Athkatla! Hear ye! Hear ye! Expelled for familial misdeeds! Oh, shudder to think of all the red ink! |
| 30840 Umar was a witch who terrorized Amn a long time ago. My mother says the hills were named after her, but she disappeared so long ago nobody remembers what happened. |
| 30841 Exiles? What's this all about then? |
| 30842 Keep up the sarcasm, actor, and I'll be sorely tempted to forget my favor and return you to the wizard as faulty goods. |
| 30843 Yeah, all right. That's too bad. But I'm still not interested. |
| 30844 The Year of the Tankard has been a tough one for the rich and pampered trying to grind out a living on the backs of the poor down south. |
| 30845 Every morning, I'm here, keeping the faith, protecting the righteous, and crucifying the guilty! Drop by to gnaw the fat and feast on the foolish! |
| 30846 Splint mail is a variant of banded mail in which the metal strips are applied vertically to the backing of chain, leather, or cloth rather than horizontally as in banded mail. Since the body does not swivel in mid-torso as much as it flexes back to front, splint mail is more restrictive in battle. This suit of armor is enchanted, granting the wearer an additional bonus of +1 to their Armor Class.

| 30849 The music of the Harp and Horn have stopped the water's flow. The way to the area beneath the palace is now open to you. |
| 30850 The parasite is dead, and it is no longer a threat to the Tree of Life. |
| 30852 I... I am glad that Quayle yet lives. And... and I have found you, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps the gods have begun to forgive my foolish pride. |
| 30853 Yes, it was. I disregarded my teachings, and I have paid for it. I was taken from my home forever and bereft of my wings... a great and final punishment upon me. |
| 30854 I... I have paid for it, <CHARNAME>. But saving that child was all I could do! I hope he lives yet... and I cannot believe that you would be so cruel as to cast that in my face! |
| 30855 I miss my Uncle Quayle... I miss his presence dearly. |
| 30856 It's obvious that you're very close to him. |
| 30857 It's obvious that you were very close to him. |
| 30858 Why don't you go back to the circus, then? |
| 30859 He's dead, Aerie... and nothing's going to change that. |
| 30860 Please, no more tears, Aerie... I am quickly growing tired of this. |
| 30861 Oh my. You're <CHARNAME>, the famous adventurer. You're twice as handsome as the legends say. I'm Rebecca. |
| 30862 Quayle befriended me when I was caged. H-he would... bring me things. To eat... or to make me more comfortable. And he would teach me sometimes. |
| 30863 He hated the owner for keeping me caged. And... and when they had to cut off my wings, he took me in. He taught me all he knew and gave me my faith in Baervan Wildwanderer. |
| 30864 I was happy... of a sort... while I was with him. I owe him so much. |
| 30865 I don't mean it that way, <CHARNAME>. I... I am here because I must be... because I have to find my own way. I... simply miss Quayle still. I don't know... is that not right? |
| 30866 I... I know that, <CHARNAME>. His loss is a chill dagger in my heart. If I speak of him, it is because he was one of the rare things since my capture that had given me happiness. |
| 30867 Quayle... he was one of the rare things that gave me happiness since my enslavement. If this is so disturbing to you, then I shall not speak of it... or... or to you, for that matter. |
| 30868 Baervan Wildwanderer? That is a gnomish god, isn't it? |
| 30869 It is not flattery, but truth I speak. I would give anything to travel with you. I'm good in a fight. Just last week, I broke my brother's nose, and he's nearly twice my size. May I join you? |
| 30870 Yes, well, let's just keep moving now. |
| 30871 Oh. I'd hoped that you might be someone important so that I could travel with you. You are nobodies, so goodbye. |
| 30872 Yes. After I lost my wings, I could not bear to turn to my winged goddess, Aerdrie Faenya. I was filled with utter loss. It was Quayle who consoled me and renewed my faith. |
| 30873 Baervan is called the Masked Leaf... he is the gnomish god of nature. I... I know it is strange for an elf to pay him homage, but that is the way it is. |
| 30874 It's a pleasure to meet you Rebecca, but your flattery is too kind. |
| 30875 I was always entranced by Quayle's tales of Baervan's escapades with his raccoon companion, Chiktikka Fastpaws. They were filled with humor and kindness, and indicative of Baervan's gentle nature. |
| 30876 You have me mistaken for someone else. |
| 30877 Get out of my face, foolish girl! |
| 30878 Baervan brought me my faith back... he gave me peace when I needed it most. And I shall always pay him homage in my heart. Is that so strange, <CHARNAME>? |
| 30879 Very well. G-goodbye then, <CHARNAME>. |
| 30880 Your mother is right; you should remain with her. |
| 30881 I don't need a kid following me around. |
| 30882 Hear ye! Hear ye! She's a scorcher this morn! A dozen carracks hit the high seas for Maztica! Waterdeep in a New Amn showdown for resources! |
| 30883 I shall think of my dear friend, then, and sing a quiet song to honor both him and Baervan while we travel. |
| 30884 Goodbye and good luck. |
| 30885 No, not at all. |
| 30886 Perhaps a little. |
| 30887 Yes, I think it's frighteningly odd. |
| 30888 Thank you for saying so, <CHARNAME>, but I think it is a little odd. But, then, I am a flightless girl lost in a strange world. I will take what comfort I can get. |
| 30889 Ha, you are probably correct. I am a flightless elf lost in a strange land and am plenty strange myself. What I would not give, sometimes, to forget what I have known. |
| 30890 What of Maztica? Tell me more, crier. |
| 30891 Another day, another story I don't care about. |
| 30892 Is it so bad that it should threaten you? But, then, I am mightily odd myself. A stranger, alone and cast off from all I have known. If only... if only you could understand. |
| 30893 Helmsport is the apple of New Amn's eye. Enter Waterdeep, seeking to expand her influence and ruthlessly plunder under the guise of diplomacy. |
| 30894 Have you traveled much? I have been over much of Amn and Tethyr with the circus... although it was not always the most pleasant way to voyage. |
| 30895 For a hero, you're certainly rude. |
| 30896 Very well, a daughter's duty is never done. If you ever change your mind, please come back and see me. |
| 30897 Oh great, I'll just run and grab my things! Mother, did you hear... |
| 30898 Bad news travels fast, and misfortune spreads like wildfire. Your humble servant reads from the true book, bringing you the latest news of the realms! |
| 30899 Don't whine to me about the circus, Aerie... my travels have not been by choice either, and likely less pleasant than yours. |
| 30900 The Council of Six send an armada of Helm-priests and sellswords to expel the Waterdhavian traders before the natives sniff the winds of change! |
| 30901 I have been traveling since I left Candlekeep many, many months ago. |
| 30902 I've no wish to discuss my travels, Aerie. |
| 30903 Awake, all! Fresh from the messenger's mouth: Sixteen ships set sail, only eleven arrive! Over a thousand lost at sea! Tragedy! Mayhem! Oh, the humanity! |
| 30904 Don't talk of such foolishness. There is no way that my only daughter is going to abandon me in my old age! |
| 30905 I have not been that far north... the circus mainly made its way around Amn and further south. I've been to Eshpurta and Murann, among other places... but people are all the same. |
| 30906 What ever did I do to raise a daughter that hates me so? You would abandon me in my time of need? |
| 30907 I must go and pursue my own life. |
| 30908 They gawked at me when I was caged... pointed and were cruel. Once I was out of my cage, the people were no kinder... if it were not for Quayle, I could not have stood it. |
| 30909 I... I think I am glad, finally, to be traveling away from the staring and jeering crowds. I am away from prying eyes, voyaging freely... on the ground, at least. |
| 30910 And... and I am glad to be traveling with you, <CHARNAME>. You have saved my life and... made me feel very welcome. |
| 30911 Ships lost at sea? What else happened, crier? |
| 30912 "Who gives a damn?" is my apathetic refrain, crier. |
| 30913 I am glad you are here, Aerie. You've proven your worth more than once. |
| 30914 I've other business to attend to right now. |
| 30915 I would have it no other way, Aerie. |
| 30916 Fine, go. Go and get yourself killed by some hideous monster and see if I care. But you'll never get your grandma's necklace. |
| 30917 Don't flatter yourself... you're here because you're useful and that's it. |
| 30918 But Mother, you promised me it! It is mine by right. |
| 30919 Not if you leave me to pursue some foolish quest. I'll have it buried with me when I die, which will be all too soon, I fear. |
| 30920 *sigh* Is this constant melodramatic gushing going to continue on much? If so, you're going to make our travels quite unbearable. |
| 30921 But I can't part with the necklace. I am so sorry, <CHARNAME>, but I cannot accompany you. Farewell. |
| 30922 As you wish, <CHARNAME>. It... it was only an errant wish for talk and nothing more. |
| 30923 Any other recent news that might be of interest to me other than this political mumbo-jumbo? |
| 30924 I... I am not whining, <CHARNAME>! I know that you have not had an easy time, but neither have I! Must you... must you be so cruel? |
| 30925 Always! But be a dear, be sincere, and get your ass on outta here. Let's foreclose on this topic. It can change, change fast, and change she will! |
| 30926 You... you are making me blush, <CHARNAME>. Th-thank you. |
| 30927 Nor would I, <CHARNAME>. Thank you, truly. |
| 30928 I... I see. Th-then I shall endeavor to remain useful for you, <CHARNAME>. To travel with you, if nothing else. |
| 30929 Five ships lost to the sea's fury. The strongarms have now been sent to quell uprisings inland at Qoral and Drakmul. |
| 30930 I see... I see I was mistaken. If my presence makes it so unbearable for you, <CHARNAME>, then perhaps I should leave... |
| 30931 Yes, that's probably best. It'll give me some peace for once. |
| 30932 Do as you like; it matters not to me. |
| 30933 No, don't go. You're quite useful here. |
| 30934 No... I apologize, Aerie. I meant nothing by it. |
| 30935 This matter requires those closest to Helm. I would speak to <CHARNAME> and <CHARNAME> alone. |
| 30936 Waterdhavians run amok in New Amn while the peace is policed! Seems the New World has all the Old World problems! |
| 30937 Ah hay! |
| 30938 Every morning, my soapbox is set, my mouth is full of moxy, and my head swims with tales from across Faerûn! All true! All timely! All told with aplomb and vigor! |
| 30939 Another companion as pretty as yourself is always welcome. |
| 30940 I would speak only with the favored of Lathander. I would speak to <CHARNAME>. |
| 30941 Then... then I shall stay with you. For now. |
| 30942 Contingencyâ€â€Spell Immunity |
| 30943 Remove your face from mine sight. I speak of matters close to Talos and will only address <PRO_HESHE> that is close to Talos as well. I speak to <CHARNAME>. |
| 30944 Brought to you by the Mithrest: "When it's time for the best, it's time for Mithrest, Athkatla's finest!" Tell them I sent you, and get no benefit whatsoever! |
| 30945 You must excuse me, <SIRMAAM>. I haven't the time to speak with you at present. |
| 30946 Your heart is heavy, my mourning dove? Your eyes wander, I think, into dark and solemn places that others cannot see. Have a care, fair Aerie, lest they draw you in forever. |
| 30947 Hear ye! Hear ye! The Rebellionâ€â€she truly begins today! Today of all days! Riatavin and Trailstone have defected! |
| 30948 <CHARNAME>! The hero from the north. I'm so pleased to finally meet you. |
| 30949 It... it is nothing, truly, Haer'Dalis. I am simply... thinking of a time when I still had my wings. Sometimes... sometimes the memory still wrenches my soul. |
| 30950 Uh-oh. This doesn't sound good. What happened now? |
| 30951 I think I understand your loss, sweet one. |
| 30952 I'm Rebecca. You're my idol, <CHARNAME>. I have been following your exploits for months. |
| 30953 Whatever. I've got bigger fish to fry than standing around listening to yet another Athkatlan blowhard. |
| 30954 Do you? I... mean no offense, Haer'Dalis, but I find that hard to believe if you have never flown. |
| 30955 Ah, but there are more ways to fly than with wings, my dove. And the fall to mundane earth is similarly filled with agony. |
| 30956 Hello. Who are you? |
| 30957 Go away, child. |
| 30958 Well, welcome they are not! The arbitrators were taken hostage and then forced from the region under sordid threats of bodily harm! With no warning! |
| 30959 One day I hope to be half the hero that you are. If you need another sword hand, I'd be happy to join you. |
| 30960 I do not need another companion. |
| 30961 Of course, you may join us. |
| 30962 "My fall was not the thing, my love; I thought I bore it well, but to stare up into the heavens from the darkened plains of Hell and think that I too once walked those endless heights is a pain I cannot tell." |
| 30963 Why would I need you? |
| 30964 Damage control for the council now comes in the form of arbitrators sent to Darromar to restrict the involvement of the Tethyrian government. |
| 30965 I'm good in a fight. Just last week, I broke my brother's nose, and he's nearly twice my size. Please, may I join you? |
| 30966 Yes, you may. |
| 30967 No, thanks. |
| 30968 With the dawn and a yawn comes new tales and old friends. I'm all over it like the stench on dung! Check here each morning for the latest on the latest! |
| 30969 That's... that was very lovely, Haer'Dalis. |
| 30970 They are but simple words, my dove. For this bard to understand but a tiny fraction of your pain has cleft my heart in twain. You... have my deepest sympathy, sweet, lonely Aerie. |
| 30971 I... th-thank you. |
| 30972 When any creature hits the spellcaster for damage. |
| 30973 See Enemy |

| 30976 The caster's Hit Points are at 50%. |
| 30977 Hit Points |
| 30978 Was I mistaken, my dove, or have I heard a thought fall from your lips once or twice that you had aspirations of the thespian bent? |
| 30980 Oh... but you will surely laugh at me for such an admission. |
| 30981 I never would, my mourning dove. My grim and oft-proud nature would never allow it. To act is a solemn profession and most worthy of thy beauty and grace. |
| 30982 Hit Points at 25% |
| 30983 The caster's Hit Points are at 25% |
| 30984 Hit Points at 10% |
| 30985 The caster's Hit Points are at 10% |

| 30990 Last Hit By |

| 30992 Myself |
| 30993 The spell targets the caster. |
| 30994 Nearest Enemy |
| 30995 The spell targets the nearest enemy. |
| 30996 You flatter me, now, Haer'Dalis. But... yes, my mother used to tell me that I would be a fine actress. I... I used to dream of fluttering onto the great stage in Faenya-Dail... |
| 30997 A useless dream now, I suppose. My mother is long behind me and likely thinks me dead. |
| 30998 Storm Ring |
| 30999 Becky |
| 31000 Becky |
| 31001 Dawn Ring |
| 31002 Diane |
| 31003 Diane |
| 31004 But your dream needn't perish, fair Aerie. I see a talent in your eye that tells this bard you could perform the great feats of stage yet. |
| 31005 Oh, I doubt that, truly. |
| 31006 Nay, be not so harsh on yourself, pale one. This sparrow will take you under his wing and teach you the secret words that will match the strength of your aching beauty. |
| 31007 You are funny and strange, Haer'Dalis... but I thank you for the compliments nevertheless. |
| 31008 I have been thinking, my mourning dove, of a role to complement your first voyage onto the stage. And I do believe I have discovered it. |
| 31009 Oh? H-have you, Haer'Dalis? And to what manner of role shall I be subjected, then? |
| 31010 You wound me, fair one... I have deliberated over the choice for quite some time now. I have weighed carefully each play that canters through my head and chosen one that complements you most fruitfully. |
| 31011 'Tis the lead of a Sigil play called "Tersis"... written, if I remember, by a rather haggard tiefling gifted with the madness of true talent. |
| 31012 Please, stay away from my daughter. |
| 31013 You would play the goddess herself... fallen from favor and bearing the slings of accusation and scorn with grace and confidence. With chin held high, she strides towards her former peers and dares to challenge the false verdict of the higher powers! |
| 31014 That... that sounds lovely, Haer'Dalis... but it's hardly me. |
| 31015 Ah, but it is, my mourning dove. You have suffered the cleansing torments, borne the impossible strains... and I'll wager there's a steel in your heart that you've yet to lay claim to! |
| 31016 Oh, I don't think I ever could... I don't think you know me, really... |
| 31017 I know you better than you think, my dove. The true thespian reaches down into a well of dark waters within them... a place where others dare not look. And you've a deep well, fair Aerie... be not afraid to dive within! |
| 31018 You've a pretty way with words, bard. Well... I think I'll disappoint you surely, but if you wish to teach me your play, I won't object to it. |
| 31019 Typical adventurers. No respect for the common folk. |
| 31020 That's all I ask, my dove... and this bard cannot wait to see the results of this first act now unfolding... |
| 31021 AHHH! HELP ME! HELP ME, PLEEEAAASE! |
| 31022 What is it, Aerie? By the gods... you're drenched with sweat! What's wrong?! |
| 31023 I... *gasp*... I was having a dream. A most dreadful nightmare! Please... please sit with me for but a short while... I am shaken to my very core... |
| 31024 Magic Tattooâ€â€Mirror Image |
| 31025 Certainly. What was the dream about? |
| 31026 I've no time for this nonsense, Aerie. Pull yourself together and stop bothering me. |
| 31027 Sahuagin Baron |
| 31028 *shudder* I... I was back in the circus, after my owner had decided that my wings had become too diseased. I had been lying in my cage, sweating and delirious for days... |
| 31029 Sahuagin Baron |
| 31030 ...his men came and pulled me out, and my wings burned so! I could barely cry out; I was so weak! And... and they began to saw off my wings... hacking at them with rusted knives! |
| 31031 *shudder* I screamed and screamed! They... hacked off... my wings and then used... torches to seal my wounds. Oh, <CHARNAME>...! *sob* Oh, <CHARNAME>, I... I...! |
| 31032 I... *sob*... I didn't mean to bother you. Please forgive me... it won't happen again... |
| 31033 It's all right, Aerie... that was a long time ago. Calm yourself... |
| 31034 Shhh... calm yourself. I understand. |
| 31035 Pull yourself together, Aerie. I grow tired of your constant tears! |
| 31036 It... it felt like I was there again! I can... I can still feel my wings being torn from my back... |
| 31037 I... I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>. It was so long ago, I should not still be so torn. I... I must resign myself to my fate. Come... let us continue on with your journey... |
| 31038 I have been thinking... I shall never fly again... never taste the freedom of my wings, I am sure of it. I... I don't know if I can face this wretched existence on the ground...! |
| 31039 What in the...? You're not Montaron! |
| 31040 Life down here isn't so wretched, Aerie. |
| 31041 Well, you're going to have to accept it, Aerie. You're going to have to find the strength to face up to it. |
| 31042 Don't say that... we'll find some way to restore your wings, I promise! |
| 31043 If you continue to act so weak and maudlin, then I agree... you'll never survive. |
| 31044 But it IS! It is, <CHARNAME>! How could you understand, when you haven't flown in the clouds? To feel weightless and free! Ohhh, how I miss it! |
| 31045 Well, your wings are gone now, aren't they? You're going to have to find the strength to face up to it! |
| 31046 We'll find a way to restore your wings, Aerie... I promise you that. |
| 31047 Well, this constant whining isn't getting you anywhere, is it?! I for one, am getting sick of it! |
| 31048 Find the strength?! Find the strength?! How can you be so cruel as to cast that at me?! I... I am a member of a proud race... my wings were everything to me! |
| 31049 I can never go back to Faenya-Dail! I could not face them without my wings! Here I am, stuck like an insect crawling on the dirt... |
| 31050 And you tell me to simply be strong?! W-well... what am I supposed to be strong for?! I... I hate this existence... |
| 31051 You promise me?! You promise?! There is no way, <CHARNAME>! Do you not think Quayle would have found a way if one existed?! |
| 31052 He tried and tried and tried! But my muscles will no longer support wings! They have grown too weak, and I am forever banished to walk on the ground! |
| 31053 I can never go back to Faenya-Dail, never look another of my kind in the eyes again! I could not face them without my wings! |
| 31054 Y-your promises are empty! I... I h-hate myself and this l-life! Just... just stay away from me! |
| 31055 How... how could you be so cruel? *sob* I... I h-hate this life... I hate m-myself... and I hate you! Just... just stay away from me...! Just stay away! |
| 31056 Iâ€â€I am sorry for the way I yelled at you. I sometimes... *sigh*... feel as if I've been weighted down by many stones... but I should not have reacted so to your words. |
| 31057 It's all right, Aerie... but you are going to have to accept your fate and find a way to deal with it. |
| 31058 Don't worry about it, Aerie. But we should continue on here. |
| 31059 Forget it... if you can't deal with your problems, I'm not about to let you drag me into them. |
| 31060 I... I suppose you are correct. But how can I? Tell me how I can ever accept this, <CHARNAME>? |
| 31061 You're going to have to be strong. We all must face life on the terms it allows for us, Aerie. |
| 31062 You've got to find another reason to live, Aerie... something else to hold on to. |
| 31063 Don't look to me for the answers... I don't have them. |
| 31064 I will try to carry on with you, <CHARNAME>. I just... I just don't know if I can. But I will try. |
| 31065 I understand, <CHARNAME>. I will try... to deal with it as best I can. I just don't know if I am strong enough. Please forgive me... |
| 31066 Be strong? I... I'll try, <CHARNAME>. I just... I just don't know if I can, but I will try. |
| 31067 I just wish I knew what that was. It was once so easy... why have the gods punished me so? I shall try, <CHARNAME>... I will try to be strong. I just... don't know if I can. |
| 31068 Yes... I know. I must find the answer on my own. Nothing... nothing could make me sadder, I think. |
| 31069 Why must we always be fighting? All I see is bloodshed and battle... and it drains me. Oh... Do yâ€â€do you not yearn for a life of peace and contemplation? |
| 31070 Sahuagin Baronial Guard |
| 31071 Baronial Guard |
| 31072 Aye, I do. Nothing would please me more than to stop all this violence. |
| 31073 Sometimes battle is required, Aerie... it is not something that I have a choice about. |
| 31074 Struggle and combat bring strength, Aerie... and I have needed all my strength just to survive! |
| 31075 More whining, Aerie? Please keep it to yourself, will you? |
| 31076 And yet it continues on and on. I... I don't know how much more of this I can take. I feel so empty inside... |
| 31077 None of us have ever had a choice, I suppose. But I see no good that comes out of fighting and constant struggle. |
| 31078 Sahuagin Chieftain |
| 31079 Sahuagin Chieftain |
| 31080 Fighting has brought me strength, Aerie... the strength to survive. You could use the same. |
| 31081 I suppose you are right, Aerie. It is pointless, I sometimes think. |
| 31082 You have a choice, Aerie... you can always go back to the circus, if you wish. |
| 31083 Strength... always you talk of strength and being stronger. I... I do not know if I have your strength, <CHARNAME>. I am beginning to think it is almost not worth it... |
| 31084 *sigh* I will, <CHARNAME>. I will stay so quiet that you shall not even hear me... nor notice when I am finally gone, I suppose, and more's the better when that happens. |
| 31085 I... do not wish to go back to the circus, <CHARNAME>. There is nothing for me there. I just... I just wish I had your strength... that it was easier to forget what I once was. |

| 31088 Move along, deary. I've no time for simple chitchat. Maybe we can talk when you have something important to say. |

| 31095 Noses are akimbo about Maztican gold falling into chubby fingers while Riatavin and Trailstone are left reading from the wrong books and the dogleg ledgers! |
| 31096 Judgment was swift on the deserving and bags packed double-time! "Good riddance," the natives wailed from ramparts high! |
| 31097 The Seven Heavens forbid if metal or magic should fall into the wrong hands in the colonies! |
| 31098 Trouble is a-brewing, gathered friends, count on it! You heard it here first! |
| 31099 Their petitions have been renegotiated, and the council is flabbergasted with this latest episode! A curse and a wail in protest as Amn is rended asunder! |
| 31100 Prick up your ears and hear this woeful tale of loss. Half a tenday ago, the council was talking with Riatavin about welcoming them back into the family fold. |
| 31101 This turn of events could draw Athkatla into a trade war! A war, alas, friends, no one can win! Oh, for grief if it's embargoes and sanctions! |
| 31102 Awaken ye to the song of the sea! The story was delivered by pearl! The council abandons hope on getting back Riatavin and Trailstone! Hear all about it! |
| 31103 What happened there, Neckeith? |
| 31104 Again I awake to a new day not giving a damn one way or the other. |
| 31105 I've got other things to do right now. |
| 31106 Any other news? Perhaps about Candlekeep or word from the Gate? |
| 31107 Nothing new since the plague of iron, kobold. But who is interested in affairs north when it all happens south? Hmmm? Let's foreclose on this topic now. |
| 31108 It's a blight on Amnian commerce! The Merchants' Chosen of Riatavin took the money, split the difference, and bit the hand that fed them all in one fell swoop! |
| 31109 Now Riatavin is still bitter over its red ink in the Maztica deal. Riatavin's merchants are denying Amnian access to trade routes in their territory! |
| 31110 This showdown promises to yield a mountain of gossip, rumor, and lies before it plays out its final act! Someone is going to take a fine delivery! |
| 31111 Visit the town crier for the word on the Athkatla's streets! Every morn, I rise and shine feeling fine, ready to spread stories only as tall as your last deal! |

| 31139 Harken to the chant of commerce and the breeze of barter! Blood spilled on council tile as diplomacy takes the backbench to outrage! Hear it here first! |
| 31140 That can't be good. What's happening on the frontier? |
| 31141 This doesn't really concern me at all right now. |
| 31142 Does anyone really give any sort of damn about this Riatavin nonsense? |
| 31143 You must have some news other than this story, surely. |
| 31144 Some drunken sailor just walked by with your mam on one arm and a tankard of bathtub gin on the other. Now go away, kobold! You bother me. |
| 31145 In retaliation for treating the Duchess of the Purple Marches like a common kobold, Queen Zaranda accepts petitions from the two renegade outposts! |
| 31146 The comely Queen Zaranda of Tethyr is outraged at the Council of Six, treating her Lady Haredown so shabbily, and by rote, her country! |
| 31147 Riatavin now lays claim to land south of the Tejarn Hills! The council lurches all trade to a deafening halt! Our Six are dragons, and wily ones at that! |
| 31148 Each morn, make the journey to learn about the privileged and the vagabonds! I have truth from the true book! |
| 31149 I... I need you to tell me what the worth of a life on the ground is. Is there anything to compare to the freedom of living in the clouds? |
| 31150 There are many things that are wonderful, but I don't know if they are better than your former life. |
| 31151 Good business, gathered friends! I've got dirt that might hurt, and you'll scarcely believe the cloak-and-dagger conspiracies! Two old adversaries resurface. |
| 31152 There's no point in your musings, Aerie... this is the way things are, and there's no avoiding them. |
| 31153 I'm not here to convince you, Aerie. Find someone else to bother. |
| 31154 No... they can't be. Everything of beauty can be seen from the sky. And there are so many places you cannot go if all you can do is walk. |
| 31155 Well, you're going to have to get used to it. |
| 31156 It's the way life is. But I'll be here to show you the better parts. |
| 31157 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Life in the clouds is so much better. Tell it to someone who cares. |
| 31158 This sounds promising. Continue with your tale, crier. |
| 31159 Yes... I'll have to get used to it. An unpleasant prospect, when a life looms over you without joy or freedom. I... I don't know if I can, <CHARNAME>. |
| 31160 There is joy and freedom, Aerie. But you have to search for them. |
| 31161 That's too bad, isn't it? Time to buck up. |
| 31162 Get over yourself already. Stop being such a coward! |
| 31163 I don't mean to bother you, <CHARNAME>. I am used to remaining in cages, neglected. I'll... just keep my thoughts to myself from now on. |
| 31164 Are there better parts, <CHARNAME>? How would I recognize them if I discovered them? I... I just don't know if I can wait for them to come along. |
| 31165 Just... just ignore me, <CHARNAME>. I must seem very pitiful and wretched to moan so all the time. You must despise me. |
| 31166 Search for them? I'm not sure I would even recognize them. Nor do I think I can go on much longer... I just can't... stand it any more. |
| 31167 A coward. Y-you're likely right, but it's still cruel to say so. How you must despise my weakness and moaning. I... I'll not bother you any longer, <CHARNAME>... |
| 31168 We'reâ€â€we're stopping? *sob* I just feel like collapsing here and dying; I just don't think I can go on. |
| 31169 Perhaps it is better and more fitting if I just... just die. Like a bird whose wings are broken, I am useless, <CHARNAME>... utterly useless. *sob!* |
| 31170 Come back! The Unseeing Eye has been killed, but not all is lost! Let us avenge him and make his visions become a reality. Come back, you fools! |
| 31171 I've... I've had enough of this life! *sob* P-perhaps it would be better if I... just went back to the circus... |
| 31172 You! <CHARNAME>! You have sinned against the universe itself! We shall destroy you! |
| 31173 If all you're going to do is whine and complain, then maybe you should leave. |
| 31174 Perhaps it is time that you made your own way, Aerie. Obviously, this isn't working out for you. |
| 31175 Pull yourself together, Aerie! You haven't even tried to face this! |
| 31176 Y-you are so heartless! I... I will go! Forgive me, Baervan, but I can do this no longer! |
| 31177 Y-yes... forgive me, <CHARNAME>... I tried, I really did. I... I'm just not strong enough. G-goodbye... |
| 31178 But I have, <CHARNAME>, I have! I... I just don't have the strength! I'm so useless... |
| 31179 Fine. If that's how you're going to be, then perhaps you should find your own way. |
| 31180 You're not useless, Aerie! And you do have the strength! You just have to reach down and find it! |
| 31181 *sob* I... I can't! |
| 31182 *sigh* Then go. Obviously, this isn't working out for you. Maybe it's best if you find your own way. |
| 31183 Yes, you can! You have a choice, Aerie: Either be strong and live or lay down and die! That's your choice! Do you WANT to die? |
| 31184 N-no... no, I don't want to die. Maybe... maybe I will think on what you have said. Let... let me just sleep... for now. |
| 31185 I have been thinking... and you are right. I have been foolish. I may not have my wings, but I have everything else... especially... my life, and people who care for me. |
| 31186 I am such a silly woman. Whining and crying... I must seem so ridiculous and petty. No man will ever want me, I think... I feel so embarrassed. |
| 31187 Well... it's good to see that you're feeling better, at least. Let's just continue our travels, shall we? |
| 31188 And you should be. Such weakness is pitiful. |
| 31189 I'm glad you're better... but you're wrong, still. There are many reasons a man would want you... not least of which is your beauty. |
| 31190 Certainly, <CHARNAME>. And... thank you... f-for your encouragement to me. |
| 31191 O-oh... I didn't know you f-felt that way. I... I will just stay out of your way, then... for now. |
| 31192 Oh, now you're just flattering me, <CHARNAME>! None of that is true, really! |
| 31193 True enough, I suppose. Let's just continue on our journey, then, all right? |
| 31194 Of course it's true. I say what I mean, Aerie. |
| 31195 Oh... I see. Well... thank you, <CHARNAME>. Umm... do you... do you think I'm beautiful? I mean... do you feel all these things about me? |
| 31196 Don't mistake me, Aerie... you are beautiful and everything, but I would prefer we maintain our friendship. Let's just continue our voyage, shall we? |
| 31197 Yes, I do. I care about you, Aerie. |
| 31198 And I care for you, <CHARNAME>. Th-thank you... for everything you have done... for me. I feel... much better. |
| 31199 You've perused the play, have you, my mourning dove? Why does your brow crinkle so, then? |
| 31200 Iâ€â€I've read the play, yes... but, Haer'Dalis, I still honestly don't think I can play this... Tersis character. |
| 31201 And I yet hold in my surety that you can, fair Aerie. What makes you say that you cannot? |
| 31202 Well... the scene where the goddess confronts Lord Jhovan, the ruler of the gods. She chastises him rather... forcefully... |
| 31203 Aye? And...? |
| 31204 *giggle* Oh, Haer'Dalis... I could never do that! The words would sound like a mouse were speaking them, coming from me. I've no such voice in me... |
| 31205 The voice is in you, my dove. You have but to cast about for it. Come... enact the passage for me. |
| 31206 (A low voice sounds within your mind.) Despair, sighted, for death is thy familiar... |
| 31207 *sigh* I... I'll try. "H-hold, my lord... I will n-not... not be judged..." No, no... it's just no use. |
| 31208 Cult Key |
| 31209 Cult Key |
| 31210 Then you are a mouse, my Aerie. A frightened little mouse who refuses to come out of her hole. Be satisfied with your stale cheese, if you will. |
| 31211 Haer'Dalis! What a cruel thing to say! |
| 31212 Enact the passage, then. You have the ability. |
| 31213 Fine. "H-hold, my lord... I w-will... n-not... not beâ€â€" |
| 31214 Squeak, squeak? Is that a mouse this bard hears? You can do better than that, my dove... |
| 31215 The two parts meld into one, and the assembled rod seethes with power, feeding your crueler emotions. Greed, hate, lust, and violence all surge within you, and you now know why this device has been hidden away. The rod can be used like a wand and has but one charge. You should equip it in your Quick Slot immediately. |
| 31216 "H-hold, my lord! I will... n-not... not be... j-judgedâ€â€" |
| 31217 What was that? Are you speaking, my dove? I am straining to hear you... |
| 31218 Then stop interrupting me! |
| 31219 Then speak, woman! I am the king of the gods! Do you have something to tell me or don't you?! |
| 31220 "Hold, my lord! I will not be judged by the lowest of my brethren, nor shall I be judged by my king! I refuse to be silent! I am Tersis! And I WILL be heard!" |
| 31221 Bravo, my dove! A most excellent wonder, to hear your thundering talent roll forth from such a delightful form! Bravo! |
| 31222 I... I did it, didn't I? Th-thank you, Haer'Dalis! That... that felt wonderful! |
| 31223 Ah ha! What is it now, my fair Aerie? You think I am not looking at you, but I can spy your desire to put the bard to the question. Go ahead, my dove... I'll not mind. |
| 31224 Well... I was only wondering... um... m-my scenes that I read to you the other day... was I... was I any good? Please, tell me truthfully. |
| 31225 Oh good. More boring crap to lull me to sleep. |
| 31226 Sorry, crier. I've other business to take care of right now. |
| 31227 What of other news? |
| 31228 Truth is my mantra, fair Aerie, when it comes to matters of the stage. And, aye, you were a sight to make any man swoon, possessing a talent that many an actress I've known would envy. |
| 31229 How's this? Your mother was a jackal and your father was an ass, which make you, urchin interruptus, a jackass! Now stop disrupting my train of thought! |
| 31230 You... you aren't just saying that? I'm not that good... |
| 31231 Your skill needs to be sharpened, 'tis true, but the talent is plenty and full. And I do not exaggerate, my dove... your mother saw it true when she mused o'er your life upon the stage. |
| 31232 A cauldron of cold intrigues! A witch's brew of bad news! Cyricists of the Twin Towers of the Eternal Eclipse are wooing the ogre magi Sythillis and Cyrvisnea. |
| 31233 Ha... it's too bad, then, that there's nowhere to perform our piece. |
| 31234 But there is, my dove! There always is! We could shout out lines from the very streets of the towns, amazing onlookers and filling them with envy! |
| 31235 In the wilderness, we could draw a crowd of fearsome creatures and tame them with our entertainments! Paws and claws would clatter as they approved of our efforts and lauded your great talent, my lady! |
| 31236 Blackwill Akhlmere, of the horse-breeding Akhlmere empire, requires aid! The Giant's Eye Trading Company has run into Cyricists at the Mountain of Skulls. |
| 31237 Word of our acts would spread... and we would be in demand all over Amn! Bugbears would stand beside great nobles, shouting out your name and mine! The toast of kings and queens, my dove... just imagine it! |
| 31238 Ha ha ha! You are a silly man, Haer'Dalis! |
| 31239 Was that the twitter of amusement I heard from your lips, my mourning dove? It is good to hear you laugh. |
| 31240 And it is good to laugh. Thank you, my comical bard. |
| 31241 Blackwill offers sellswords to the Sythillisian Empire for the attack on Murann. The Green Fields Consortium keeps a close eye on events! |
| 31242 "You have come to me, my goddess! I have prayed for my love not to be denied, and my majestic queen appears before me!" |
| 31243 Ear to the ground and eyes wide round, check with me every morning for the true book lowdown on the highborn and the skinny on the fat! Good business! |
| 31244 "Aye... Tersis has come to you, my Donner. Your yearning has called to me across the void, and against all sober advice, I have come." |
| 31245 Good business! You could cook a hen's egg on your forehead this morn! Riatavin is in hot water this day! Caravans disrupted and contracts corrupted! |
| 31246 The Contingency spell allows you to automatically cast other spells when certain things happen. |
| 31247 Tattoo of Powerâ€â€Spell Immunity |
| 31248 "Then let me sing your praises while I can, my queen. Let me tell you how I adore your flaxen hair, your porcelain skin... let me tell you how I long to brush my hand across your pale cheek..." |
| 31249 Er... Haer'Dalis...? |
| 31250 "Your breathtaking beauty has captured my heart, and I long to cradle your innocence in my arms for the breadth of eternity..." |
| 31251 Haer'Dalis, your words... your words aren't in the play. |
| 31252 Forget the play, my mourning dove... I speak what is in my heart. My words come unbidden to my lips, for you have captured my soul in your innocent hands. |
| 31253 I am yours, my sweet Aerie. Can you not see that? You blossom like a flower before me, and I am entranced, swept away and caught in your fragile web all at once! |
| 31254 I... I thank you for your words, Haer'Dalis... but... |
| 31255 Do you not feel some spark yourself, my dove? Does your heart not quicken in my presence as mine does in yours? I prithee, do not crush my fragile plea! |
| 31256 E-enough... please. I... I am flattered... but... but I was not expecting this. Please... leave me alone but for a while... |
| 31257 Aerie, my sweet dove, I have given you time to ponder my words, but my aching soul yearns for requitement. Do you not feel some measure of love for this solitary bard? I beg you to say that you do! |
| 31258 Now? Please, come on. Pretty please! |
| 31259 I don't know what you were expecting, but as a sword, I'm pretty one-dimensional in what I want! |
| 31260 Can we go whack something now? |
| 31261 Haer'Dalis, thi-this is all so... sudden... |
| 31262 It is not sudden, my love, but rather it is momentous... a revelation of affection that has stricken me like a most welcome affliction! |
| 31263 Tell me that you feel similarly, my mourning dove, and I'll be yours forevermore, my heart lain at your tender feet. Or tell me that you have no love and I'll be forsworn... but say it true! |
| 31264 I... I do not deny that I hold you in great esteem, Haer'Dalis. You have been most kind. It... it is just that... |
| 31265 But how can there be a limit to love, my fair Aerie? Is there another, perhaps? Is there another man that your heart sings for? |
| 31266 I... I don't know. I truly don't... |
| 31267 Then I beg of you to discover your heart's true intent, my dove. My own course has been set, and it pains me greatly not to know if you will eventually be my own... |
| 31268 I have something I need to ask you. |
| 31269 What is it, Aerie? |
| 31270 It will have to wait for later, Aerie, I'm too busy for a discussion right now. |
| 31271 I... I know this may seem an... odd question. But I need to know... how do you... f-feel about me? |
| 31272 I love you, Aerie... I thought you knew. |
| 31273 I care for you deeply, Aerie. |
| 31274 Feel? You are a friend... no more and no less. |
| 31275 This is a ridiculous question and I'll not discuss it. |
| 31276 It... it cannot wait, <CHARNAME>. Or at least my heart will not let it wait. |
| 31277 All right... what is the question? |
| 31278 Well, it will have to, so forget about it for now! |
| 31279 Ah... no... no, I did not know. I suspected... and hoped... but I did not know. Oh, <CHARNAME>, this is so terrible! |
| 31280 Oh, that sounds all wrong! I... I do care for you very much, <CHARNAME>! I do! But I... I also care for Haer'Dalis! This is... so confusing... I must think about this... |
| 31281 Oh, <CHARNAME>... I... th-thank you for saying so! My heart is fluttering so... oh, this is so terrible! |
| 31282 No, you will have no victory here! Rejiek must work on! |
| 31283 I... I see. That answers my question most... f-fully. Th-thank you, <CHARNAME>... I think of you as a... friend... as well. |
| 31284 I... I see. F-forget about my question, then, <CHARNAME>. It... it does not matter, really. |
| 31285 What is this? You support this fiend? |
| 31286 Who are you? Why have you aligned yourself with this common murderer? |
| 31287 There will be no mercy for this villain, or his allies! |
| 31288 My raven, if you would but hold and step aside but for a moment... this hapless bard would make a private plea of you. |
| 31289 What is it, Haer'Dalis? |
| 31290 We can surely come to an agreement. There has been enough death. |
| 31291 Not now, Haer'Dalis. This isn't a good time. |
| 31292 You are a man worthy of my dove's affections... of this I am sure. But this sparrow asks of you to turn away from her and to allow her affections to settle on me! My heart yearns for her, and I beg this favor of you! |
| 31293 He is chosen to work the gift and has escaped your reach. He will continue, and your skins will be the final touches! No talk! You will die here! Vellin Dahn does so command! |
| 31294 I cannot simply switch my feelings on and off at will, Haer'Dalis! |
| 31295 The choice is hers, Haer'Dalis. Not mine or yours. |
| 31296 *sigh* Very well, Haer'Dalis. You may have her for yourself, if that is your wish. And if she'll have you. |
| 31297 There is nothing common here. The work will continue. You will not be allowed to stop what we wish to build! Vellin Dahn does command your death! |
| 31298 And there will be no mercy for you. Yours is a grave crime, for you have interrupted the work! It must continue, and your skins shall be the means! Vellin Dahn does so command! |
| 31299 No, there has not. There must be more, for the work must go on! You will die here, and your skins will further the work! Vellin Dahn does so command! |
| 31300 No, it must be now, for my heart cannot bear it any longer! Listen to me or not, my friend, I shall unburden my soul to you. |
| 31301 But you must, <CHARNAME>, you must! I cannot bear to watch my dove with another... and you are a man who could surely have another! I beg of you not to twist my heart! |
| 31302 It is not even up to me, Haer'Dalis... it is up to Aerie whom she chooses. I cannot give her to you. |
| 31303 The answer is no, Haer'Dalis! And I mean it! |
| 31304 If she means that much to you, then very well... I will step aside. |
| 31305 But she is a fragile flower, my dark hound... she will wish to hurt neither of us with such a momentous choice! And I cannot bear to be without her! |
| 31306 'Allo there, what can I do for you this fine day? Have you need of a trinket or two, or do you need directions? |
| 31307 Please... step aside, <CHARNAME>, and let our true love be unfurled! |
| 31308 I love her too, Haer'Dalis. I can't just give her to you. |
| 31309 Very well... if she means that much to you, I will not interfere. |
| 31310 The heavens sing with your praises, my hound! You have made this poet's heart leap with joy! I will not forget this, <CHARNAME>... you have made our union possible, and I thank you with all of my soul! |
| 31311 You would be so selfish as to deny our union? You would place such a choice upon her gentle breast? You are a dark and wicked man, <CHARNAME>. |
| 31312 I can imagine only one outcome to this black path you have placed us on. We shall see which of us my dove chooses... and what agony results of it! |
| 31313 Let's just have a look and see if anything strikes your fancy. |
| 31314 Fallen Paladin |
| 31315 Fallen Paladin |
| 31316 My mourning dove... the time has come for you to make a choice between us. I beg of you to decide, as my ailing heart can wait no longer! |
| 31317 I... oh, Haer'Dalis! I never expected for any of this to happen. I... I love both you and him in different ways; Iâ€â€I cannot simply choose between you! |
| 31318 Please... can't you understand that? I beg of you not to press me! |
| 31319 I... I see, my dove. There is only one option that remains, then. <CHARNAME>... I challenge you to a duel... a fight to the death for the love of our lady Aerie. |
| 31320 A duel? What kind of foolishness is this? |
| 31321 Very well... a duel it is. |
| 31322 You want to duel for Aerie? Haer'Dalis... if she means that much to you, then I will not interfere. |
| 31323 There is love... or there is death, my dark hound. My honor demands no less. Look within your heart, and you will understand. |
| 31324 No! No, this is madness! I will not allow you to fight over me. I will not allow it! |
| 31325 Aerie is right, Haer'Dalis. We should not fight. Put down your swords, and let us talk. |
| 31326 Step aside, Aerie... the bard wants a duel, and he'll have it. |
| 31327 <CHARNAME>? Y-you would... you would simply give up on me? Give up on your feelings for me? |
| 31328 Can't you see, my dove? It is I who loves you with zeal... it is my passion that yearns for you. <CHARNAME> is a good man... but even he sees that my love is the love that is true. |
| 31329 I... I do love you, Haer'Dalis. I am glad that you did not f-fight over me, but I must... I must have time to set my heart straight. Please... g-give me time. |
| 31330 Of course, my dove... take all the time you need. My heart shall still pound hotly for you a day or an eon hence. And thank you, <CHARNAME>, for your understanding... |
| 31331 The time for talk has passed, my hound! My honor must be satisfied! Have at thee! |
| 31332 NOOOO! |
| 31333 Aerie... my love... do not restrain me from combating my foe for your affection! Our blades must meet; it is the only possible end! |
| 31334 No, Haer'Dalis! It is NOT the only possible end! I said I would not allow you to fight over me, and I meant it! |
| 31335 I am not something for you to become impassioned over like a jewel or a poem, Haer'Dalis! I do not think your love is real if you would resort to violence to prove it! |
| 31336 I love <CHARNAME>. I love him deeply and without hesitation... and I know he feels for me as well. And that... that is how it shall be. |
| 31337 What have you to offer? |
| 31338 What is of interest around here? |
| 31339 I... see. My... my heart aches to hear these words, my dove... but I sense they are true. If I offended you... I apologize... |
| 31340 And I apologize to you, <CHARNAME>, if my heart was foolish and o'erquick. I cannot deny what I feel, however... and I cannot stay and watch my dove stay with another. |
| 31341 Until... until we meet again, <CHARNAME>. And... and farewell, my lady love... |
| 31342 Rindus |
| 31343 Rindus |
| 31344 No, <CHARNAME>! I said I would not allow you to fight over me, and I meant it! |
| 31345 If you would resort to violence to prove your love for me, then you are not the man I thought you were! I... I love Haer'Dalis... I know that to be true now. |
| 31346 Yes, my bard... I do love you. <CHARNAME>... put down your arms and accept that... that this is the way it will be. I... I am so sorry. |
| 31347 Do my ears deceive me? Does my mourning dove profess her love for this broken sparrow? |
| 31348 I... I can't bear to watch you with another, Aerie. |
| 31349 *sigh* I suppose I will have to accept it, then. I hope you will continue to travel with me? |
| 31350 So be it! At least this mess is over with now. |
| 31351 It... it breaks my heart that I must leave you... but leave you I must, then. |
| 31352 And I with you, my dove... wherever you go, I shall be with you. |
| 31353 I'm sorry that this couldn't have... worked out better. Farewell, <CHARNAME>... I hope... I hope that we meet again someday. |
| 31354 I shall. I am your friend, <CHARNAME>, and you will always hold a dear place in my heart. If you would continue to wish to have me fight by your side, I would be glad of it. |
| 31355 I too, <CHARNAME>. Where my dove goes, so shall I. |
| 31356 I... I suppose I was correct, then. Your feelings do not run as deep as those of my bard's. Come, then... I would be glad to fight by your side. Let us continue your quest. |
| 31357 Anarg |
| 31358 Aye, and I shall join you as well. Where my dove goes, so do I. |
| 31359 Anarg |
| 31360 I have... something that I must ask of you... an awkward question, if you will. |
| 31361 What is it, Aerie? |
| 31362 It will have to wait for later, Aerie. I'm too busy for a discussion right now. |
| 31363 I have been thinking about you quite a bit of late. I know this may seem an... odd question. But I need to know... how do you... f-feel about me? |
| 31364 I love you, Aerie... I thought you knew. |
| 31365 I care for you deeply, Aerie. |
| 31366 Feel? You are a friend... no more and no less. |
| 31367 This is a ridiculous question, and I'll not discuss it. |
| 31368 It... it cannot wait, <CHARNAME>. Or, at least, my heart will not let it wait. |
| 31369 Reynald de Chatillon |
| 31370 All right, what is the question? |
| 31371 This sounds like about the time I stop listening. |
| 31372 Reynald de Chatillon |
| 31373 Well, it will still have to wait, regardless... this is not the time. |
| 31374 And I love you too, <CHARNAME>. Ooh, this is a most wonderful relief. You have been... so kind and helpful to me; I am glad of your love. |
| 31375 Come, then... let us continue on our travels, and we can speak more of this later. |
| 31376 And I too care for you. You have been... so kind and supportive. I... I thank you, <CHARNAME>. I feel awkward, but I am most pleased that you have requited my feelings. |
| 31378 As... as you wish, <CHARNAME>. Forget my question, then... it was of no importance. |
| 31379 A... a friend? Then it is... then it is good that I have asked this. I am glad we are friends, <CHARNAME>... let us continue on your quest, and I shall be glad to fight by your side. |
| 31380 Haer'Dalis? Might I have a... a word with you? |
| 31381 We've a little intrigue happening, though nothing a traveling company armed as you are would be interested in. Well, there have been a few people go missing. |
| 31382 You have made an... interesting selection. You know, I used to peddle books in Athkatla under another name. Perhaps you were a customer? Call me by the name I used before and perhaps I will have a discount for you. |
| 31383 Carbin Shale was your name. |
| 31384 Darbin Eole was your name. |
| 31385 Darcin Cole was your name. |
| 31386 We have a mutual friend. A tanner in Athkatla that works in... exotic leathers. |
| 31387 Your business is over! I know of your relationship with the tanner in Athkatla! |
| 31388 Tell me more, crier. |
| 31393 But of course, my mourning dove. Whatever your wish might be, this sparrow will endeavor to achieve it. |
| 31394 I... I just wanted you to know... I've noticed the amount of time you've spent with me... |
| 31395 Aye, 'tis a pleasure and more than that besides to spend the hours with a lass of talent and refinement such as yourself. |
| 31396 This sparrow shall not come betwixt the two of you. Be merry, my swan... its glow suits you well. And who knows? Perhaps I shall play at your wedding! |
| 31397 I've got other things on my mind besides news. |
| 31398 Surely something else newsworthy happens in this country? |
| 31399 Places to go, people to see. |
| 31400 What about Baldur's Gate? Heard anything from there? |
| 31401 Th-thank you... but I wanted you to know that I... that I have feelings. For <CHARNAME>. I... didn't want you to get the wrong idea... |
| 31402 Yes, that's she's a bug-ridden, filth-infested dungheap and any from there are bastards of kobold siring! Stop talking! One mouthpiece at a time! |
| 31403 Ah... |
| 31404 Well, I'll not lie to you, my mourning dove... I had my eye set upon your gentle heart. But 'tis always a grand thing when two friends join in love. |
| 31405 Ha ha! Oh, you rascal! It... it's nothing like that! But... but thank you for your understanding... |
| 31406 It does, but I report on business, not when a rajah wipes his rump! In a city governed by commerce, it's the only thing the mobile venture to hear! |
| 31407 I've... I've been thinking about some of the things you've told me. I... I wanted you to know that I've come to a decision. |
| 31408 The first caravans from the East arrive in Riatavin, and the Merchant's Chosen buys up all the shipping contracts, cargo, and goods! Everything! |
| 31409 And what decision is that? |
| 31410 Not right now, Aerie... this isn't the best time. |
| 31411 A tall deal is made, but the future of the route is in limboâ€â€no place to be when shingles are hung out for barter and promise of profit! |
| 31412 It'll be a cold day in the Nine Hells before I read from anything other than the clean book! Good business! |
| 31413 The slayer of Gaal has come! Destroy all who stand against the Unseeing Eye! |
| 31414 Hear ye, one and all! The mercantile families of Amn demand the council declare over the most grievous crime of allâ€â€disruption of trade! |
| 31415 Amn is going to war? I need to know more about this, crier. |
| 31416 War? Hopefully you'll get called into service, crier, so I don't have to listen to the sound of your voice every morning. |
| 31417 I've got other things to attend to right now. |
| 31418 What about the rest of the region? Any news from elsewhere? |
| 31419 No need to wish ill on your superiors. Check back on the morrow, and the news of the day shall be your covenant! Good business to you! |
| 31420 When you hear the bustle of barter break on yon horizon, I shall be on my soapbox, preaching from the true book! Good business! |
| 31421 Riatavin's purchase of caravan contracts has incurred the wrath of Amn's richest citizens. And upsetting the wealthy is none too wise! |
| 31422 Riatavin has also moved the fiscal center south, away from greedy fingers and watchful eyes! Oh, the plot, she thickens by the minute! |
| 31423 The sun rises today with fear in her eye! The council has moved on Riatavin! Sellswords on the march by the hundreds! Carnage! Murder! |
| 31424 What's happening over there, crier? |
| 31425 Good. Let them all die for all I care. |
| 31426 Other matters are far more pressing at the moment, crier. |
| 31427 Why is it always about Riatavin and trade gossip? I'd like to hear about something else for a change. |
| 31428 It must be a constant effort to be a bastard all the time. Now hush, others have interest though you do not. Good business to you! |
| 31429 Because, kid, grandpa's gas may be news in the sticks, but here that hillbilly hobnail fails to impress! Understand? Good business! |
| 31430 Two rich familiesâ€â€the shipwrighting Argrims and the gold-mining Lurraxolsâ€â€hired every sellsword in the kingdom to lay siege to Riatavin! |
| 31431 Reclaiming their trade route access is all that matters! A force of ten thousand lays in wait for the impending strike on Riatavin! |
| 31432 Hold on to your hats for the conclusion of this tale of betrayal, loss, rage, and redemption! It promises a climax of bloodshed and fortunes! |
| 31433 I am determined to... to face this life on the ground, <CHARNAME>. My wings are gone, and that can never be changed. I must learn to appreciate the beauty that I can still see. |
| 31434 Hear ye! Dawn arrives with the sweet chime of profit! Good business! The Shadow Thieves have entered the Riatavin fray! |
| 31435 And I... I hope that you will be here to teach me about it, <CHARNAME>. To show me how one can live on the ground and still... still be happy. |
| 31436 The Shadow Thieves? Tell me more, crier. |
| 31437 I am mourning the loss of my fellow adventurers... it was a long and hard week to drag their bloody bodies back to the city. |
| 31438 You've confused me with someone who gives a damn. |
| 31439 Stand away, fool... I am a warrior born, and I mourn my fallen. I shall not be disturbed. |
| 31440 Places to go, people to see, and they aren't around here. |
| 31441 You are an adventurer too? Hopefully, your lot is not as poor as those of my companions now buried here. |
| 31442 Again it's Riatavin, ten days in a row! How about other stories for once? |
| 31443 Leave me be... go find my ubiquitous halfling companion if you wish to chat merrily with someone. |
| 31444 Confusion must be your sole bedfellow, traveler. If you had a brain, you'd have it on the ground playing with it. Good business! |
| 31445 They were good friends... and mighty fighters. I shall miss them. |
| 31446 There is a story about a clueless prat with a town crier's foot broken off in <PRO_HISHER> arse. Step aside for those who'd hear the mouth that roars! |
| 31447 Shadow Thief assassins failed in their attempt last eve to kill the rulers of Riatavin with poisoned food and special delivery scorpions! |
| 31448 Ambushes on city streets fail miserably, and all attempts to infiltrate the enemy stronghold fail! A crushing blow for the Shadows! |
| 31449 Seven sets of severed feet are found in Riatavin alleys, and martial law is imposed in the Gateway City! |
| 31450 General Craumerdaun is the dish from the right book this morn! Sellswords on the march, and conflict brews hotter than Maztican talldark! |
| 31451 This sounds like trouble, crier. Tell me more. |
| 31452 Oh well, another day, another whatever who cares? |
| 31453 This really doesn't have me all that interested, crier. I've other places to be. |
| 31454 I'm sure others ask you about other stories. Well, are there any? |
| 31455 Move away then, child, so the informed can stay informed and the moronic can manifest their ignorance in cross-eyed bliss. |
| 31456 I'd like that, Aerie. |
| 31457 Who knows what the future will bring, Aerie? |
| 31458 I am bid to write this by those we serve. You who carry out the work, I am your humble servant. When at last you need the final ingredient for the grand project, I shall be the one that brings it to you. Seek me out in the hills of Umar and signal your identity with the purchase of the book "The History of the Zhentarim." This will identify you, for I do not know your name, nor should I. The need for security is paramount, so you must also utter my secret name, constructed from the name of your immediate master. There will be no mistake with this method. Our names are the same in their scale and their cut. The last of his begins just as the first of mine. The second of my first is the second of his first, though regressed a full four steps. The third of my first is four more than the last of his first. The entire last of my first is the last of his first, except the first one of these is the first of my last. The first of his last is mine plus one. The next of my last is the last of his first plus one. The last of my last are third and second, coming in first for him. I am sorry for such games, but it is certain that only you shall know this. I await your arrival. |
| 31459 Other criers deliver banality and belly laughs at the cost of truth, but yours truly only speaks from the right book! |
| 31460 I doubt it... we'll be lucky enough to stay alive with death waiting around every corner for us. |
| 31461 It was nothing complicated, <CHARNAME>... but if you say it is a bad time, then I will have to believe you. |
| 31462 Local sellswords march to Eshpurta to join the wily General Craumerdaun in his charge against Riatavin. |
| 31463 Garrisons will join up along the Eshpurta and Gem Roads. The Citadel already marches upon Riatavin. Woe to the Merchant's Chosen in the Gateway City! |
| 31464 That makes me glad. I am beginning to wonder what I would have done if you had never come along, <CHARNAME>. |
| 31465 Tanner's Letter |
| 31466 Tanner's Letter |
| 31467 Yes, I know that our life has its risks... but I have a feeling that Baervan has had his hand in my path. We shall see what the gods have planned for us, I suppose. |
| 31468 Mad Cleric |
| 31469 Mad Cleric |
| 31470 Our life is filled with uncertainty, that is true... but you could at least make the attempt, <CHARNAME>. Well... we shall see, I suppose, what the gods have in store for us. |
| 31471 I have heard from some of the others, about your adventures in the lands of the Sword Coast north of here. It all sounds rather exciting! |
| 31472 Exciting? That doesn't sound like you, Aerie. |
| 31473 It wasn't by choice, Aerie. And I lost much. |
| 31474 Yes, it was a great adventure... and a successful one as well. I defeated my half-brother and stopped a war. |
| 31475 Aerie, you don't know what you're talking about. Please shut up for once. |
| 31476 Oh, I know it must sound strange to hear me say it... but if I'm going to face my life as it is, I want to experience everything that I can. |
| 31477 I want to feel the thrill and fear of combat... to pit my magic against our foes. I want to be awed and terrified... to feel everything that my life has to offer me, good or bad. |
| 31478 Does that sound strange, <CHARNAME>? Does that make me odd? |
| 31479 No odder than the rest of us, Aerie. |
| 31480 No... I am glad to see the change in you, in fact. |
| 31481 It makes you naive and foolish. You haven't a clue, do you? |
| 31482 But you gained as well, <CHARNAME>. I am told that many people speak reverentially of the deeds you have performed, whether you intended them or not. |
| 31483 I have lost much... as you have. But I am beginning to think that perhaps I might be able to gain something back as well. I look forward to freeing myself from my doubts and fears. |
| 31484 Many people speak reverentially of you. You have gained much... and I want to have that as well. I want to shed my doubt and wring whatever I can out of the life I have. |
| 31485 You always disregard what I am thinking, don't you? Obviously, I was mistaken about you. I'll just... keep to myself, if it's all the same to you. |
| 31486 Dawn breaks as does news of the Sythillisians! Fort Ishla falls under a humanoid onslaught! No one is spared! An unparalleled tragedy! |
| 31487 The Sythillisians? That doesn't sound good, crier. |
| 31488 Fort where? Isn't that Fort who-gives-a-crap? |
| 31489 I'd really like to hear this, but I've got other things to take care of. |
| 31490 I want to hear about something else other than war and pestilence. |
| 31491 Pull my finger and you're guaranteed something specialâ€â€I had a feast of Maztican spiced noonmeats last eve! Now move aside! |
| 31492 The Skullgnasher army of giants and the Spearbiter goblins laid waste to Fort Ishla! The monsters have set their sights on slaughter! |
| 31493 Good... that makes me feel a little better. It is strange to be thrilled and yet shivering at the same time... I am free, and I am traveling... and I feel like I am flying. |
| 31494 Thank you, <CHARNAME>... I am glad of it as well. I... I am free... and traveling... and both excited and nervous at the same time. I almost feel as if I am flying again. |
| 31495 The Small Teeth bred the filthy legions that took our outpost! No Amnian soldier escaped the massacreâ€â€a thousand families fatherless! |
| 31496 Always you must be cruel with your words. Naive, am I? Well, I am not so stupid as to continue playing the fool. Obviously, I was mistaken about you. |
| 31497 Gambiton looks to be next as they slaughter and scorch all in their way! Pray to Heaven because Hell is on earth! |
| 31498 Have you been to very many other places besides Amn? |
| 31499 Just to Baldur's Gate and several other places along the Sword Coast up north... so far, at least. |
| 31500 Not now, Aerie... this isn't a good time to talk. |
| 31501 I have never been that far north... nor have I traveled anywhere outside of the circus. I have been told about some of the other places in the world where one can go, however... |
| 31502 Hear ye! Sythillisians foreclose on Gambiton! The chatter of coins cannot stop the unholy onslaught of the humanoid war machine! |
| 31503 Calimshan is supposed to be a great place of sand and silks, merchants of all kinds... there are supposed to be strange and exotic dancers and great spiraling towers. |
| 31504 The Moonshae islands are supposed to have magnificent mountains and waterfalls... along with beaches of blue sand and ancient forests that time has barely touched. |
| 31505 This doesn't sound good at all, crier. What do you know of the conflict? |
| 31506 How do you say in Amnianâ€â€who gives a damn? |
| 31507 Sounds like a good story, but I'm not much in the mood, thanks. |
| 31508 And... and the jungles of Chult! Towering trees and vines, exotic spices and flowers that smell of the sultry heat... rainstorms that last for days... |
| 31509 Not again. How many times can war be news? |
| 31510 I... I want to go to these places, <CHARNAME>! I want to voyage there and see their beauty for myself... I want to stand there and feel it... touch it with my hands. |
| 31511 That sounds wonderful, Aerie... I wouldn't mind joining you someday. |
| 31512 It's translated in the ancient tomes of yore as "Do us all a favor and shut the hell up?" |
| 31513 I think we should concern ourselves with surviving the next few weeks and not make plans like that. |
| 31514 Get your head out of the clouds, Aerie. It'll never happen. |
| 31515 Gambiton is trampled flat; its people have all fled screaming! The King's Arch is destroyed, and no one can escape to Esmeltaran! |
| 31516 I see. All right, <CHARNAME>... I'll be quiet, if that's what you want. |
| 31517 Heavy rains are pummeling the region out of season, thwarting Amnian efforts to reach Hillfort Ishla and reckon the true caliber of damage! |
| 31518 I would like that, <CHARNAME>... although of course we must pay attention to surviving first. Likely, we will face death many times... but it is pleasant to dream, isn't it? |
| 31519 Oh, I know. I do not plan on running off to go to these places. I know we face death here, and will many times. It is just... pleasant to dream, isn't it? |
| 31520 And who are you to say it will never happen? I know I face death fighting by your side... and I am happy to do so... but I would like to dream of the future as well. |
| 31521 The only people who are rejoicing in Athkatla are the followers of Talos, thrilled with the destruction wrought from nature's blind, storming fury! |
| 31522 I... I would have thought you capable of dreaming, <CHARNAME>. Not everything must be hard steel and stern decisions. |
| 31523 Vellin Dahn was your name. |
| 31524 Darvin Daln was your name. |
| 31525 Havin Cole was your name. |
| 31526 Darlin Cole was your name. |
| 31527 Gavin MacLeod was your name. |
| 31528 I'm sorry? What are you talking about? |
| 31529 Nothing, nothing at all. This wasn't meant for you, then. Good day to you. |
| 31530 No, no, I don't think you are whom I should be speaking to. Something is definitely wrong here. I'll just take this back, and you can be on your way. Good day. |
| 31531 No, no, that wouldn't be it. Do stop wasting my time, will you? |
| 31532 I don't know what you are talking about. Good day. |
| 31533 What? Who are you? No matter. You'll be dealt with soon enough if you are crossing the rune. |
| 31534 Indeed. Indeed it was. As I said in the letter, I am sorry for these simple games. Merely a ruse to throw off the foolish guards of Athkatla. I trust you have the armor almost complete? |
| 31535 I've been wondering... do you have any advice for me for combat? |
| 31536 You're doing fine, Aerie. Why do you ask? |
| 31537 Stay in the back and use your spells... that's the best help you can be. |
| 31538 Of course. I will add the final touches, but I do need the most important ingredient first. Your workmanship is unparalleled, but it needs... something special. |
| 31539 You're doing fine, Aerie. Why do you ask? |
| 31540 I have told you what I need. Your leather skin armor will remain unfinished until I have the blood of a silver dragon and the armor itself. Get the blood, then we will talk. |
| 31541 Not really. |
| 31542 I know how you feel about my being strong, <CHARNAME>... and I want to fight well by your side. I... I don't want your foes, powerful as they are, to get the best of you. |
| 31543 Well then, I trust you have the blood and the unfinished armor? You do fine work, but it requires my special touch to finish it off. |
| 31544 I shall take these ingredients and produce the finest and darkest of armors. You will serve well within its embrace. Return in four days, and you shall have it. |
| 31545 I smell the scent of dragon blood, but I do not see the unfinished skin armor. Do not delay; bring both the blood and armor to me, and I will make a suit of legend. |
| 31546 Fine work takes time. You must give me the full four days before your armor is done. Leave me. |
| 31547 I have completed the task, and your armor is done. Beautiful it is. Here, examine it with your own hands. |
| 31548 Nice, is it not? I draw your attention to the stitching, the stitching that you did not do. You are not my tanner contact. He is dead. |
| 31549 Hear ye! Esmeltaran falls to the Sythillisians! Esmeltaran falls! Defenders of the city are crushed to pulp by the unstoppable force! |
| 31550 More troubles, crier? Give me details. |
| 31551 I shall try to improve my skills with magic, over and above what my Uncle Quayle was able to teach me. I suppose... I suppose that is the best way I can aid you. |
| 31552 I couldn't care less about any of this. |
| 31553 I know that you are determined to combat evil... and I wish to do so as well. I don't want to be a burden... I want to be effective. I want to survive so that I can see the world. |
| 31554 I'd like to stay around, but duty calls. |
| 31555 What of elsewhere, crier? There's a big world out there. |
| 31556 I think that's what I have been doing... I know I'll never be that good with weapons, as some of your other companions are. If... if you need me to fight by your side, <CHARNAME>, I will do so... to the death, if need be. |
| 31557 Well, stop drinking turpentine and get yourself an honest profession. Step away so that the citizenry can gain proxy to the truth spoken from the right book! |
| 31558 None at all, <CHARNAME>? I... I don't want to be a burden to your group. I want to fight effectively by your side... and survive, so that I may travel the world with you. |
| 31559 Iâ€â€I know that it might be difficult to foresee what is to happen in the future, but... do you have any plans? Once this is all over, I mean... |
| 31560 The duty of loafing elsewhere, clogging walkways? Good business to you! |
| 31561 Until you begin paying my bills, fueling my fireplace, and tiling my roof, this is the only news you'll be getting from me! |
| 31562 The Skullgnashers and Spearbiters descended upon Esmeltaran. In a matter of hours, the city was overrun with giants and goblins! Picture that! |
| 31563 The castle of Dahaundar fell, so all that remains are giants, goblins, and a few renegade Cyricists who allied with the monsters! |
| 31564 I haven't given it much thought, actually. |
| 31565 I don't know... I was thinking of settling down somewhere... |
| 31566 I'm not sure if it will ever be over. I suspect I'll always be on the road. |
| 31567 I'm not about to start talking about this with you, Aerie. |
| 31568 Among the traitors is the ex-commander of Hillfort Ishla, Captain Amlos Xornnag! A betrayal of the first order to Amnians everywhere! |
| 31569 Well... do you see yourself traveling? Or settling down? Do you... do you see yourself with me? |
| 31570 I honestly couldn't say. Anything could happen. |
| 31571 I would prefer to be with you, Aerie... if the gods are willing. |
| 31572 I doubt that we'll be together for long. My life is too chaotic. |
| 31573 You want to settle down? Here in Amn, perhaps? Do you... do you see me in that picture? |
| 31574 I thought you wanted to travel, Aerie. |
| 31575 Of course I see you... if you see yourself, that is. |
| 31576 Nope... I don't see you there. Sorry. |
| 31577 Yes... you have god's blood in you, I'm told. When you... when you travel, do you see me traveling beside you? |
| 31578 It's too difficult to tell, Aerie. Anything could happen. |
| 31579 I'd want you beside me... if you wanted to be there. |
| 31580 Good business! It's a hot one here, but not as hot as the standing air down south! The Amnian army reaches Hillfort Keshla! |
| 31581 The army has reached Keshla? Tell me more, crier. |
| 31582 Imagine that: I couldn't care less if I tried. |
| 31583 Things to do, things to do. |
| 31584 Have you heard anything about the Gate or maybe Candlekeep? |
| 31585 No, I really don't see us together. |
| 31586 Oh... don't you... don't you want to be with me? In the... future, I mean? |
| 31587 Of course I do... if it's possible. |
| 31588 Over half of Keshla's contingent has been assimilated into the big, bad band of bastards! Battle plans are drawn up, and Riatavin is ripe for an ass-kicking! |
| 31589 There's no point in talking about it, Aerie. Nothing is sure in my life... and I have lost too many people to start forming new attachments. |
| 31590 No, I don't, really. |
| 31591 That's... that's good. I would like to be with you, if the gods will it. Th-thank you, <CHARNAME>... I just... I just wanted to be sure that you felt the same for me. |
| 31592 Three days' march separates our brave lads from liberating the agitators! Three days to certain doom for the firebrands with an axe to grind! |
| 31593 I do... but I also want to be with you. I... think I want to be with you more. You are more exciting and thrilling than any wonder of the land that I could encounter, I think. |
| 31594 But... that is... that is only if you want to be with me too. Do you? |
| 31595 Of course I do, if it's at all possible. |
| 31596 There's no point in talking about it, Aerie. Nothing is sure in my life... and I have lost too many people to start forming new attachments. |
| 31597 Well, no... not really. |
| 31598 Heavens above, she's a hot one this morn! Good business! Riders from the Amnian army reach Hillfort Torbold! |
| 31599 Ah. So you end it with cruel finality. I... I suppose I should have expected that from you. I was... hoping for something more, <CHARNAME>. I suppose I shall look elsewhere... |
| 31600 Continue, crier. |
| 31601 How ironic... that you would push me to be strong, and yet be too frightened to attach yourself to someone. I... was hoping for more. I suppose I shall look elsewhere. |
| 31602 Hillfort what? Why the hell would I give any kind of damn about that? |
| 31603 I'm pretty busy at the moment, so I'll have to beg off this time. |
| 31604 I'm not from Athkatla, so I don't care about Athkatla. I need other news, crier. |
| 31605 You don't have to, pilgrim. Just don't feign surprise when your brain seeps out of your skull from neglect. Now step away so the real book can play! |
| 31606 My arse talks to me. In a Maztican accent. How's that for other news? |
| 31607 My love...? Iâ€â€I know that you are tired from the day's travels andâ€â€and that you wish to rest, but I... I wish to ask you something... before you retire to your blankets... |
| 31608 A third of Torbold's troops head east to join forces marching on Riatavin! Soon after they depart for Keshla, straggling wounded arrive from Esmeltaran! |
| 31609 Olehm now bolsters morale and readies his troops and fort for full-scale war! |
| 31610 The wounded alert Major Olehm of the lethal dangers to the west! The major sends his fastest scouts to catch up with the legion heading toward Keshla! |
| 31611 I did hear it here first, and I still don't care. |
| 31612 Good business! News of Esmeltaran's fall reaches General Craumerdaun at Hillfort Keshla! Hear it here first! Accept no imitations! |
| 31613 Here... come with me away from the eyes of the others. We will not be very far from them. I simply wish privacy. |
| 31614 Now that we are alone... let me speak for a moment. You have led me to a tremendous discovery, <CHARNAME>... I have found that I do not need wings to fly. |
| 31615 I... do not have much experience with love, <CHARNAME>. With your urging, I have become eager to experience many things... and now I wish to experience this. |
| 31616 I... I will show you my body, <CHARNAME>... and I hope it pleases you. Would you... would you stay with me this night, <CHARNAME>? Will you show me what true love consists of? |
| 31617 How could I refuse such a sweet offer? |
| 31618 This isn't all love is, Aerie. Wouldn't you rather wait until the time is right? |
| 31619 Er... I can't get past those huge lumps of scar tissue on your shoulders. I'm really not in the mood. |
| 31620 Get lost, Aerie... I'm really not interested in being your tutor. |
| 31621 Very well... what is it that you wish? |
| 31622 Not now, Aerie... I'm too tired to discuss anything. |
| 31623 Please, <CHARNAME>... the time is right, and I must speak to you of this. |
| 31624 *sigh* Fine. What is it you wish? |
| 31625 It will have to wait, Aerie. Good night. |
| 31626 This sounds like it's getting worse. Please continue. |
| 31627 I... I see my wishes have no bearing on your moods. As... as you wish. I will sleep by myself tonight and from here on. Good night, <CHARNAME>. |
| 31628 I have to get going, crier. Another time, maybe. |
| 31629 How about something other than this trade war? |
| 31630 Poor roads can't deter the stalwart General Craumerdaun from marching to Esmeltaran! The hardy contingent changes its course from Riatavin to the occupied city! |
| 31631 The remaining troops stay in Keshla until their return! This is getting very intriguing! Intriguing indeed! |
| 31632 C-come close to me then, <CHARNAME>. Let me feel your hands on my skin... let us lie together so I may experience your love and become a woman at last... |
| 31633 I... don't know what love is, <CHARNAME>. But... maybe it would be better to wait until all of this is over. The thought of lying with a man frightens me a little, I must admit... |
| 31634 Stay with me for the night, then, <CHARNAME>, and hold me to you. I... don't want to be alone, and I so desperately need to be near you... |
| 31635 Hear ye! More news of the scurrilous Sythillisian's Empire! Horrors abound as the legions of evil march on Imnescar! |
| 31636 As you wish... that I am more than willing to do. |
| 31637 Forget it, Aerie... I'm not interested in someone who is so needy. |
| 31638 C'mon, c'mon! Let's go whack something EVIL! |
| 31639 Why don't we kill, uh... that over there? |
| 31640 You know, once, long time ago... Yeah. I was like a... a moonblade! Eheheheh! |
| 31641 You really need to clean me. I like ta SHINE! Hahahaha! |
| 31642 Tell me more of this scourge, crier. |
| 31643 I couldn't imagine being any more uninterested in this. |
| 31644 It sounds like a good story, but I haven't the time at the moment. |
| 31645 How about some other story? |
| 31646 Are we gonna kill something now? Come on, maybe? Somethin' small, ANYTHING! Huh? |
| 31647 There's a gripping fable about the jackass and the town crier whereby the town crier, tired of the irritating foreigner, opens up a barrel of one-eye whoop-ass on the unsuspecting berk and stomps <PRO_HIMHER> hard because he's tired of being asked the same thing every morning. |
| 31648 What goes on in this section of the inn is none of your concern! Leave immediately or I shall be forced to harm you! |
| 31649 You know, my last owner always said I was "sharp" and "edgy." Heh heh! He was such an ass. |
| 31650 The ogre mage bitch Cyrvisnea marches on Imnescar with tribes of goblins and murders of kobolds! The forces of the Twin Towers attack just before dawn! |
| 31651 I don't chop wood. Okay? I'm not an axe. |
| 31652 Now! Now! Come on, kill something now! Yeah! |
| 31654 Boring! Boring! Booooo-ring! |
| 31655 Ugghh... Come ON! |
| 31656 Rustleâ€â€friggin' saw a rabbitâ€â€c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon! |
| 31657 jljljl |
| 31658 Let's dance! |
| 31659 Muwahahaha-ha-ha! |
| 31660 You can't be serious! |
| 31661 Just remember: If I can't damage it, it's time to run like the French in the war! |
| 31662 Yeah! Hit it! Hit it again! |
| 31663 I am invincible! Invincible, I say! |
| 31664 Dennis's Mother's Gong |
| 31665 Dennis's Mother's Gong |
| 31666 I shall return when my father is sober. |
| 31667 Solik Berries |

| 31677 Immunity: Divination |
| 31678 Immunity: Enchantment |
| 31679 So you send me away with... with your cruel words. I... I thought I loved you... and yet you cut me open without hesitation. I... should have known better, I suppose. |
| 31680 Very well, <CHARNAME>... I shall go and sleep by myself and console myself that it is better that I never allowed one such as you to touch me. I... shall not trouble you further. |
| 31681 The ogre mage bitch Cyrvisnea marches on Imnescar with coalitions of kobolds and gripes of goblins! The Twin Towers forces lay in lurking wait! |
| 31682 Just before dawn, the scourge strikes from the darkness! By highsun, the second army arrives! By day's end, the town lays in ruins! |
| 31683 The only survivor of the unholy humanoid wrath is Hydcont Hall, where the citizenry flee the plague of evil! |
| 31684 You are sweet to be so patient with me, <CHARNAME>. Let us sleep, then. |
| 31685 So... you are awake at last? I have been... watching you sleep for some time now. It calms me, watching you... and it gave me time to think. |
| 31686 I've been... thinking about last night. You were right, of course... it isn't the right time to experience love when we are always in danger of perishing. |
| 31687 I was so eager to experience everything new that I... did not think. Thank you for respecting me. I... I love you... and I want our first time together to be something special. |
| 31688 I love you too, Aerie... and I agree. |
| 31689 Yes, well... let's just continue our travels, shall we? |
| 31690 You're out of your mind, Aerie. |
| 31691 Let us go, then, and find this Irenicus. Once this is over, I want to experience everything with you. I... I never thought I would find something... better than flying. Thank you. |
| 31692 Of course, <CHARNAME>. Let's... finish your quest, and then we can see where we stand. And where we can go from there, yes? |
| 31693 In... in case I die... or in case we part ways... I just wanted to tell you, <CHARNAME>, that I never thought I would find something better than flying. But I have... and thank you. |
| 31694 I am? I had thought you had cared for me. But... perhaps you kept me away because... because you did not care enough for me. I had not thought of that. |
| 31695 I am too quick to assume, <CHARNAME>... and I have much to learn. I wish you would have been gentler with me, but you have taught me much, and I thank you. |
| 31696 Let us just... continue on your quest. I shall trouble you no further... and will look to further my experience elsewhere. |
| 31697 So... you are awake at last? I have been... watching you sleep for some time now. It calms me, watching you... and it gave me time to think. |
| 31698 You... have made a woman out of me, <CHARNAME>. I love you more deeply than I can say and can only thank you for what you have done for me. |
| 31699 But... at the same time... I cannot help but think that things need to be slowed. I am so full of emotion... I want to experience too much and am doing it all too quickly. |
| 31700 I feel overbalanced, <CHARNAME>. Quayle would never approve of this, I think. |
| 31701 My heart clenches at the thought, but we must stop ourselves from going down this path. I need to... to find out more about myself... before I can attach myself to another. I... hope you understand. |
| 31702 Those fools of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart are so full of themselves. |
| 31703 I do... but maybe you need to find your own way, Aerie. |
| 31704 If that's what you want, there is nothing I can do. |
| 31705 No, Aerie! I love you! |
| 31706 Finally, I can enjoy life without those oppressive paladins breathing down my neck. |
| 31707 No, I don't understand! Why are you doing this?! |
| 31708 The Most Noble Order of Radiant Farts are pathetic. |
| 31709 Yes, I've never seen such a clumsy bunch of morons in my life. |
| 31710 They're not that bad. |
| 31711 Hold your tongue or you might risk losing it! |
| 31712 If... if that is what you think I should do... then perhaps I must. I... I shall miss you, <CHARNAME>. I shall always hold you dear in my heart. |
| 31713 Morons indeed! |
| 31714 To each his own, I guess. |
| 31715 Be wary of whom you threaten. |
| 31716 I think you will find the amount adequate. 10,500 gold is no small fortune, though I think you deserve a little more. From my personal armory, a sword. |
| 31717 Oh, please don't be sad, <CHARNAME>. I shall remain with you and fight by your side... this quest of yours is too important for me not to help you with it. |
| 31718 You may find the reward I am about to offer to be as much a blessing as a curse. I know that I have felt as such on occasion. Listen to what I am about to say. |
| 31719 Who are you? Get out of my house! |
| 31720 But come... a new day awaits us, <CHARNAME>. Let us... let us see what it holds. |
| 31721 I... I know, <CHARNAME>. You have been very patient with me, and very kind. But I have not found my way in the world yet... you know so much more than I do. |
| 31722 One day we shall meet again, <CHARNAME>... and I... I hope that I will be ready to love you then. F-farewell... |
| 31723 I... I am doing this because I must, <CHARNAME>. My life has never been my own... I am frightened by the unfamiliar, and I am unfamiliar with most everything. |
| 31724 I require someone to take the position left vacant by Mae'Var. It must be someone I can trust, so they cannot be too mired in the politics of the region. |
| 31725 We shall not allow you to continue your depredations here, Rindus. Take your men and begone... your smuggling will be tolerated no longer. |
| 31726 Tolerated, eh? You better be able to back your words up, big man. You're going to die trying to take my turf. |
| 31727 We have no interest in your "turf," Rindus, and it is only proof of your limited mind that you think this is so. |
| 31728 Greetings to you, friend. I am grateful for your aid against these dogs and would know your name if you are willing to give it. |
| 31729 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 31730 Who I am matters not. Just be grateful that I arrived when I did. |
| 31731 Take well and good care of it. You have served well, and I am grateful. Go on your way with my blessing. |
| 31732 Fairly said; I'll pry no further. My name is Reynald de Chatillon, formerly of the Order. I am now led by one Anarg... Might you be interested in employment? |
| 31733 I need to... find out more about myself, <CHARNAME>... I need to become familiar with and experience everything... but slowly. And with you, it will never be slow. |
| 31734 As for the task... when Anarg left the Order, the paladins stripped his Cup from him. The Cup is... important to him. Perhaps you could retrieve it. |
| 31735 If the pay is adequate, you might hire our services. |
| 31736 No, I think not. |
| 31737 I... I do love you, <CHARNAME>, and I hope you understand. If you would find it too hard... if you want me to go now... I will understand. |
| 31738 Yes, I would prefer it if you left, Aerie. |
| 31739 No... please stay, Aerie. |
| 31740 Where will we find this cup? |
| 31741 You might be a good choice for the job. You handled Mae'Var and his rhetoric, and you seem to understand the benefits of supporting the larger guild. |
| 31742 Find the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart in the Temple District. The Cup is within their building. You shall be rewarded admirably for its return. |
| 31743 Aerie, this... this bard can wait no longer for your thoughts to settle upon his heart. I... I must know now what you feel, my dove. |
| 31744 We'll go now and retrieve this Cup for you, although it hardly seems a test of our abilities. |
| 31745 Oh, Haer'Dalis, Iâ€â€I am not ready to... |
| 31746 You'd best be prepared; the Order is strongly defended. I myself would die quickly if I stepped near their Hall. I wish you well, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 31747 Wait, my sweet Aerie. The touch of a moment on your lips, if you will. Lend your ear to a poem so that this bard might express himself more clearly. |
| 31748 What do you say? Care to have your name placed above a young guild of Shadow Thieves? |
| 31749 Without question. I will do my best to turn it into a prosperous guild. |
| 31750 I can't. I must raise gold so the Shadow Thieves will aid me in finding Imoen. |
| 31751 I do not wish the headache of such a position. I am no guild leader. |
| 31752 I have no desire to look for a stupid cup. So long. |
| 31753 "Rainbows black'n'd, flowers wilted, songs discordantly rung, for my love has come before me; my heart is flung at her feet with his hope barely nigh that his love might let this poor sparrow fly." |
| 31754 As you wish. Should you change your mind in the future, I am sure that I can still be contacted here. I look forward to meeting you again, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 31755 You have returned, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? Have you changed your mind? Will you retrieve Anarg's Cup for me, as I have requested? |
| 31756 Yes, Reynald, we are now ready for this task you ask of us. |
| 31757 I think not. |
| 31758 You return, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... but you do not have Anarg's Cup with you. Is something amiss? |
| 31759 Sorry, I am on my way to do it now. |
| 31760 Excellent. I shall see you anon. |
| 31761 Ah, yes. I believe I have heard of your arrangement. It is admirable that you would place your goals above your personal advancement. |
| 31762 Why... that's sweet, Haer'Dalis. I'm... I'm honored. |
| 31763 Be more than honored, my dove. Be in love with this bard. You are full of sorrow that you once knew the freedom of flight, while I have never known it at all. |
| 31764 I would suggest, however, that running a successful guild could be a very profitable exercise. Perform well and you may be closer to your goal than you think. |
| 31765 But I will know it, sweet Aerie, if you but declare your love for me. Allow me to salve your wounded heart, Aerie... allow me to caress your pale skin and show you that my love is true. |
| 31766 I... I do love you, Haer'Dalis. You have swept me off my feet... and I can no longer deny it. |
| 31767 You return, my <LADYLORD>. Were you successful? Do you come with Anarg's cup in your possession? |
| 31768 Yes, we have it. |
| 31769 No, not yet. But I intend to get it. |
| 31770 Then I am finally content, my love. You have made me most happy with your declaration. Let us walk together for a while and talk most earnestly of what now might come of it. |
| 31771 You do? I had almost not dared to think it possible. You are very resourceful. Come... I shall introduce you to Anarg now. |
| 31772 Your countenance has the air of dark thoughts and concern, my love. Might I ask what has brought this mood about you? |
| 31773 It is nothing, Haer'Dalis. Just... just some errant thoughts. |
| 31774 So, you wish to join us, <CHARNAME>? My men have spoken highly of you. |
| 31775 Tell me anyway, my love. Your poorest word is a sweet poem to this bard's ears... and I would not have you experience a moment of fluster if there was aught I could do for it. |
| 31776 Then I accept. I will do my best to turn the guild around. |
| 31777 No, I am no guild leader. |
| 31778 Yes, I shall join you. |
| 31779 No, I have changed my mind. |
| 31780 Well... I was just wondering, Haer'Dalis... where do you see us in the future? You have spoken of plays and acting... have you been serious? |
| 31781 Ah... the future. I see. |
| 31782 Your love has given me new hope, my bard... I want to see what life has to offer, no matter my lack of wings. I... I want to travel, to see this world. Will you... be there with me? |
| 31783 Fool! You cannot refuse my offer and live. |
| 31784 Time holds its own counsel, my love... and destiny plays such a game with this sparrow that even I cannot foresee the outcome. |
| 31785 I have never paid much heed to the future myself, preferring to experience things in the moment, as it were. To do otherwise is to concern oneself needlessly. |
| 31786 You lie. There is no way that you could have retrieved the Cup so easily. I still have ears within the Order, and I know the task that Ryan Trawl has asked of you. |
| 31787 Live in the moment? I... I have always done that, Haer'Dalis. I want to live for the future now... don't you? |
| 31788 You've come to slay me. Draw your swords and do your best. |
| 31789 I could not, even if I cared to, my sweet dove. Here... let me sing to you... |
| 31790 Terl |
| 31791 "When man was made, it was said he would have eyes in the front of his head. But the first man was scared, as he saw before him, lay bared, the future... and in it, he was dead." |
| 31793 Terl |
| 31794 Hmm. A limerick for every occasion, Haer'Dalis? |
| 31795 Aye, my dove. And I've a ready quip and a belch as well, if it'll put a smile on your sweet face. |
| 31796 Ha ha! Very well, my bard, I'll smile for you. Today, at least. |
| 31797 I can pray for nothing more, my love. |
| 31798 Ah, my dove... I see you have finished perusing my latest play. Would you care to act out a scene or two? |
| 31799 Actually, Haer'Dalis, I have a question. All your plays... they seem to end in tragedy or destruction. They're all so... so dark. Have you no happy plays? |
| 31800 Greetings, <CHARNAME>. I have heard of you. |
| 31801 I would like to offer you the opportunity to help the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. Are you interested in hearing my proposal? |
| 31802 No, we have better things to do. |
| 31803 Please explain. |
| 31804 How much gold will you give us? |
| 31805 That is a shame, truly, for we have no one else to turn to at this time. If you change your mind, please come back and speak with me. |
| 31806 Your reward would be a magical item of great value to the Order and to an adventurer such as yourself: Gloves of Healing. Are you interested in hearing more? |
| 31807 The task of being a paladin is not easy. Many break under the demands of our path and leave to pursue avenues of life more appropriate to their talents. |
| 31808 Sometimes they bend instead of break, twisting their paladinhood to serve their own purpose. These are hard to detect, but when found, they are quickly cast out. |
| 31809 The Fallen Paladins, as they're known, would recognize any of our Order, and some also fear conflict with former friends, so we need outside help in this matter. |
| 31810 What do you want us to do then? |
| 31811 I've heard enough, I'm not interested. |
| 31812 I've heard enough, I'm not interested. |
| 31813 What do you want us to do, then? |
| 31814 The Fallen Paladins always need warriors to aid their illegal activities. We want your party to ally with them, especially Anarg. He's the key to them all. |
| 31815 If you consider these men a threat, then do what you think is necessary. Gloves of Healing would be a suitable reward for the task, I think. Do you accept? |
| 31816 Yes, I do. |
| 31817 No, my travels are taking me elsewhere. |
| 31818 Of course, please go on. |
| 31819 I've heard enough, and I'm not interested. Goodbye. |
| 31820 Excellent. Thanks to the Shadow Thieves, Anarg has kept their activities localized in the Bridge District. I suggest you search there. May Torm be with you. |
| 31821 Have you completed your mission? |
| 31822 No, not yet, but we are working on it. |
| 31823 Return when you are finished. |
| 31824 By your grim expressions, I think that you have done what I asked. Is this so? |
| 31825 Yes, the Fallen Paladins are destroyed. |
| 31826 We have done as you asked. |
| 31827 Ahh, my sweet Aerie. I write my plays as befits the creed of the Doomguard. All things end in destruction and tragedy... to think otherwise would be foolish. |
| 31828 Then you are due your just reward. The Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart gives you our fullest thanks. |
| 31829 Foolish? You... you can't honestly think that. Is there no room for hope in your world? |
| 31830 Even hope is eroded, my dove. All things break down over time... all things come to an end. 'Tis the natural order of the multiverse. Who am I to question this? |
| 31831 You have returned earlier than I expected. What do you require? |
| 31832 The Fallen Paladins have asked us for a cup of some value as a measure of our loyalty to them. |
| 31833 But... but you can't embrace destruction... you have to fight against it, don't you? |
| 31834 On the contrary, one must assist the multiverse in attaining its goal. One day, all things will cease to exist... this is the way it shall be. The Doomguard stands to assist this goal. |
| 31835 But why would you... why would you even build a home or... or fall in love... if you thought that way? If all things decay, why start anything? |
| 31836 Anarg's Cup? I cannot possibly give you this, for he was stripped of it when he lost his paladin status. |
| 31837 *sigh* Often the act of creation is one of entropy itself. The earth is mined and chipped away for the metals that men use to create, is it not? And love is but a brief and pleasant flutter. |
| 31838 Then we cannot finish the mission you asked of us. |
| 31839 A brief and...? No... no! Love should be enduring! It embodies hope and strength... are you saying that you expect it to end? |
| 31840 Give us the Cup, or we'll take it from you. |
| 31841 Very well then, you shall have it. Return it soon or you will not be given your reward. It is very important that the Cup remains in the hands of the Order. |
| 31842 Of course I do. Ah, but I see I have upset you, my dove. Let me reassure you that the multiverse shall not end in my lifetime... at least I do not expect it to. |
| 31843 And while I know that our love must end, I do not expect it to do so soon. The Fates will decide, and until then I shall love you truly and with all the heat I can muster. |
| 31844 Be careful who you speak to in that tone. You are working for us, not the other way around. |
| 31845 I know my Doomguard thinking may be strange to you, sweet Aerie, but it need not intrude on your happiness. If it pleases you, I'll not mention it again. |
| 31846 No... no, I... I just want to know that you'll love me... and that you'll be there for me... that is all. |
| 31847 But I do love you. And I am here for you. As for the future, I cannot say. |
| 31848 Without the Cup, the Fallen Paladins will not trust us. |
| 31849 I... I guess that'll have to be enough. For now. |
| 31850 Gah, that's not right! |

| 31865 The Vampiricus Omnibus: Unabridged Ending the Plague of Teeth This tome is quite ancient, and you do not recognize the tongue in which it is written. Fortunately, Bodhi has scrawled a translation of selected passages in the margins, as well as further questions she apparently wished to ask on the subject. "Stuat tuo Gotha: The resolution: With the witch at the fore, long previous to her treachery, we did stride the hills of Umar seeking comfort in our hour of need. The time had come for the living to mourn no more, and the blades that were fettered by sentiment were cut free, and it was decided that we would speak for our lives with the sinews of our sword arms. The honored dead that did take flight in the darkness of shadow would no more receive sorrow from those of us that had lost their friends and relatives to the plague of teeth. Mornat de'pas Golvana Fathorn: Battles when came the dead: There came we, the army of light, armed with faith and conviction, and we did march unto the tombs of the restless dead during hours of day. With wooden edge, we struck down master and slave, though many paid for each thrust with their lives. In the fallen, there was the danger of a scourge anew, and many of the newly infected seemed doomed to walk again with dire purpose. Aegato Davon: The plea: 'No more,' cried we! No more would we lose to the plague. These new fallen could not be abandoned. We had fought for our lives and theirs, and they would not be taken. To the Temple we went, to the god of Sun and Light. Amaunator would save them. Amaunator, whose touch turns shadows to fire. In the arms of the Sun god were the infected placed, and the hearts of their dark masters were laid there with them. Blood did burn, and the dead returned, but not as undead or unliving, but alive and freed from taint. Many did walk the light side home, when last the plague did fall. Relevance of archaic worship of Amaunator? Origin of vampiric plague? Any link to a modern cure to be worried of? Historical document or historical fiction?" A final note is scribbled... "*Interrogate Oghma monk at Docks District temple about further information. He should be able to provide more information on reversing vampirism*" STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |

| 31867 No, you are not, but what does that matter? Mae'Var was ideal, and yet he conspired to ruin everything. You are inexperienced, but I can at least trust you. |
| 31868 I give up... I can't go on... there's no point... I must die. |
| 31869 Are you certain of this? I will not offer the position again. |
| 31870 I accept. I will turn Mae'Var's treachery into your profit. |
| 31871 I cannot accept. |
| 31872 Pause whenever a party member casts a spell. |
| 31873 Excellent, I look forward to seeing what you can do. Return to Mae'Var's vacant office. I will have it seeded with a few promising young thieves. |

| 31876 This is the ornate coffin of the vampire Dace. Strange markings on the side, upon closer inspection, turn out to be the word "Madness" etched over and over again, covering the coffin. |
| 31877 With a tortured cry, Dace has retreated to his coffin upon defeat. If you can but find a wooden stake, you can end his miserable existence for good. |
| 31878 I will appoint a lieutenant of skill to aid you. Jariel will serve as a fine right hand. He will be waiting for you, and I will speak to you through him. |

| 31883 Golden Skull |
| 31884 Aerie, my dove... are you well? |
| 31885 Iâ€â€I've just... I've just been thinking. About all this death, all these horrifying things Irenicus has done. He actually stole a soul, andâ€â€and all these people died for nothing! |
| 31886 And for what? Some "vengeance" that Irenicus wants! For that he throws people aside like mere objects?! I... I cannot believe that such evil is allowed to exist! |
| 31887 Haer'Dalis! We must scour the face of Faerûn of such foulness! The very stink of it clogs my every breath! No mercy! No mercy must be shown to such evil! |
| 31888 And you, <CHARNAME>... I now see much of the same mark of evil in you. I will watch you carefully. You have earned my respect, but I will not tolerate the callousness I see in you any longer. |
| 31889 False friend! I am loath to think that I have lent my hand to your cause. I shall go to my father without you! Pray that our paths do not cross again! |
| 31890 Golden Skull |
| 31891 You may not set a trap while there are enemies about. |
| 31892 Aye, my love! 'Tis grand to see you transformed into a maiden of destruction! Turned from innocent chrysalis into entropic moth! I hail your arrival! |
| 31893 I am not here to destroy, Haer'Dalis! I want to stop Irenicus! I wish to fight against evil that exists in this world! |
| 31894 I will not sit idly by and be pathetic! I have paid too much attention to my own sorrows and experiences... and not enough to the evil that has surrounded me! |
| 31895 Speak as you will, my love, but you serve entropy nevertheless. Your innocence has faded, as it should, and you have become a maiden who shall bring the end of others... my philosophy proven! |
| 31896 I don't care a whit for your philosophy, Haer'Dalis! I am so full of anger that I cannot control it... and this callous evil that I see, it will pay! |
| 31897 As I said, my dove... and pleased I am to see it. |
| 31898 Well, I am not pleased! And it is obvious that you do not really care for me after all! We are through, you and I! |
| 31899 Again, a natural end that has come... no less than expected, though I'll mourn its passing. |
| 31900 So be it! Come, then, <CHARNAME>... let us go and complete your quest. I shall fight by your side until this is over... and then I shall make my own way in the world for once. |
| 31901 No effect? I need bigger sword! |
| 31902 Hmph. Fine thing, us all fleein' into the village from our farms, for all the good it'll do us. Don't know how you fools can wander around in all your metal git-up in this heat. |
| 31903 I'd be careful where you lay that tongue of yours, peasant. Someone's liable to cut it off. |
| 31904 Just the price of being an adventurer, my good man. |
| 31905 Indeed, this is a world of fools and you are the wisest among us. |
| 31906 Mithral Medallion |
| 31907 Grumpy ones, are ya? Heh, begone then. I've got better things t' do than speak to the likes of you. |
| 31908 Adventurers, are ya? Heh, I'll give ya an adventure ya won't soon forget... for a few golders, mind ya. |
| 31909 Golders is it? Will 10 gold pieces be enough for you? |
| 31910 No offense, but you don't look like the type who would have an adventure worth buying, friend. |
| 31911 The heat's gone to yer steel-clad brains, then. Take yer madness elsewhere... we've enough to worry about with all these murders an' like business. |
| 31912 10 golders? Nay, metal-head, this one's worth at least 30. |
| 31913 30 gold pieces, is it? This had better be quite the adventure, friend. |
| 31914 You're a thief, not a farmer! I'll save my money for something other than your goose chases. |
| 31915 You'd think I was buying iron. Will 20 gold pieces satisfy your penny-lust, old man? |
| 31916 You'd think I was buying iron. Will 20 gold pieces satisfy your penny-lust, old man? |
| 31917 Heh heh. Sure, sure. Ya see those folks in town with all the chickens? 'Tis the farmer Hendrick and his wife, fled here from their lands just like I have. |
| 31918 His daughter was a tom-fool tin-head adventurin' type just like you... died young just this past season. You still with me? Good, then I won't have t' repeat meself. |
| 31919 Not long after she died, a bunch of other tin-heads came lookin' for her, said she had somethin' of theirs. |
| 31920 Heh, ol' Hendrick just took 'em outside an' pointed to her grave marker and told 'em to get the hell off his land 'cause they had somethin' of his too... |
| 31921 So that night I heard a ruckus in his henhouse. Looked out the window an' there he was tryin' to stuff somethin' down the gullet of one of them chickens he keeps out back. |
| 31922 Draw yer own conclusions, friend, but I'm thinkin' there's somethin' a tin-head like yerself might like buried deep in the gizzard of one of them cluckers. Heh heh. |
| 31923 Now clear off afore ya bake in them there ovens of honor ya got on ya. |
| 31924 Quataris's Confession |
| 31925 That is unfortunate, but I will not make you a leader if you don't want it. All right then, I will pay you a stranger's reward and send you on your way. |
| 31926 Quataris's Confession |
| 31927 Heh, that's some nice lookin' armor ya got there, friend. Prob'ly worth as much as ol' man Hendrick's chicken feed on that farm just west of here. |
| 31928 Ya never know what ya'll find on butcherin' day over there, if ya catch my meanin', heh heh. You tell me why they fled with their chickens and nothin' else, aye? Heh... |
| 31929 Clear off, ya addle-brained tin-heads. I han't caused ya no harm. |
| 31930 Ye're just another tin-head, causin' trouble where she ain't needed. I was a damn fool even talkin' to ya. Now clear off, I ain't never seen ya. |
| 31932 Bust of Sune |
| 31933 How's the adventure comin'? Heh, thanks for the extra golders by the way. |
| 31935 Bust of Sune |
| 31936 Heh, you again, is it? Begone, tin-head... I've more important things t' worry about. |
| 31937 I will make the Shadow Thieves proud. |
| 31938 I will remake the guild in my image. |
| 31939 I will move the guild cautiously forward. |
| 31940 Heh, no one ever told you that farmers don't bargain, did they...? When I say 30 golders, metal-melon, I mean 30 golders. |
| 31941 Enough of your foolishness. I have work to do. |
| 31942 All right, all right, you pirate. 30 gold pieces it is. |
| 31943 Shoo! Them aren't yer chickens! Erlin! Erlin, someone's after the chickens! |
| 31944 Is there something you be needin', me <LADYLORD>? |
| 31945 What can you tell me about all these murders? |
| 31946 How much are you asking for those chickens? |
| 31947 Why do you have all these chickens here? |
| 31948 We fled all the death an' murders, me and my Erlin. 'Tis no longer safe out in the farms. But I know nothing else about it. |
| 31949 They aren't for sale. |
| 31950 Why, that's Jeb's place. Nothing good ever came of that scoundrel. Not since his wife died, at any rate. |
| 31951 Please leave us be. There've been too many deaths here as it is. |
| 31952 Begone from us, brute! |
| 31953 Get off my farm, you louts! |
| 31954 I know your secrets, you old hag. Maybe there's something down your gullet as well! |
| 31955 This is between us and the chickens, ma'am, and I'm going to ask real nicely that you stay out of it. |
| 31956 See that you do, but do not tailor your actions only to please your superiors. I have plenty of yes-men already. Good luck. |
| 31957 That is your decision to make, but I would not deviate too far from the established norm. You must please the Shadow Thieves in some measure. Good luck. |
| 31958 Wise, but do not be afraid to take large steps on occasion. You will need to be bold in your decisions. Good luck. |
| 31959 Leave 'em be, Enna. They know what they're lookin' for, and there ain't no room on this farm for secrets anyways. |

| 31965 You should be attending the affairs of your own guild, <CHARNAME>. Joster will be by to collect your dues, and I'm sure your lieutenant can answer any other questions you have. Shoo! |
| 31966 I thank you for your assistance, but I am done with you for now. Leave me to my work. |
| 31967 Hello and well met. It is good to see new souls sympathetic to the Shadow Thieves. I'm Rattell, and I'll be fencing anything you need exchanged. |

| 31970 'Ere then, move along now. This place ain't open to simple gawking. Don't make me says it more than once. |
| 31971 *uses a wand* |
| 31972 You have not finished picking your spells. Return to the Record screen as soon as possible. |
| 31973 You have not finished picking your spells. Do you wish to continue now? |
| 31974 Oy, mayor! When is this crisis going t' be solved, eh? |
| 31975 Aye! Me an' mine need t' get back to herdin', we do... 'fore the wolves have gobbled me flock entire! |
| 31976 Um... Calm down, everyone, please. I assure you that everything that can be done is being done... |
| 31977 And what is that?! |
| 31978 Aye! You just hired a group o' those adventurers, didn't you? Where in the Abyss are they?! |
| 31979 Well... they haven't come back yet, no... |
| 31980 Oh! We're doomed! Doomed! We must flee the village! |
| 31981 We must flee before more people go missing! |
| 31982 Now, now, people... Come, this is no time to panic... |
| 31983 Please... listen to my husband! |
| 31984 *ahem* Yes... well... we are looking for another group of adventurers here to handle the situation... |
| 31985 T' kill them ogres and evil kin, y'mean! |
| 31986 Yes! Ever since that band of monsters moved into the area, we have had nothing but trouble! They're eating people, that's what! |
| 31987 Ye're both daft! 'Tis the wolves that have been wandering the hills, sure enough! Hungry, they is! |
| 31988 It's not wolves, you fool! It's Umar herself, returned to haunt us and steal our children! |
| 31989 Umar? Don't be tellin' that folktale now! Can't ye see that it's the ogres, plain as th' truth?! |
| 31990 People, please! We must first find out what happened to our ranger, Merella... and then track down the source of these murders. More adventurers will come soon. |
| 31991 Well, they can't come soon enough! |
| 31992 Aye! Ye better be doin' something, mayor... or we need t' be fleein' our homes soon. |
| 31993 Ye best be doin' something, mayor... or we need t' be fleein' to the city for our safety! |
| 31994 Um... hello? I don't recognize you... you must be new to Imnesvale. Is there something I can help you with? |
| 31995 Actually, I spoke to a boy by the name of Delon in Athkatla... he said you were in need of assistance. |
| 31996 I saw your speech outside of the village... you in need of an adventurer? |
| 31997 What's going on here? |
| 31998 Nothing, thanks. |
| 31999 You did? Then the boy did get to the city after all. Ah, I am pleased to hear it! You... you have come to our aid, then, yes? |
| 32000 I would like to know more about what is going on here first. |
| 32001 That depends on the reward you're offering. |
| 32002 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills The mayor has thanked me for eliminating the ogre and his band, and has asked that I rest in the village... or at least return in seven hours or so, as he must travel to obtain my reward. |
| 32003 No, I don't think I'm interested. |
| 32004 Yes, we are! Blessed Lathander has delivered us! Oh, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, you have no idea of the dire straits my little village is in! You will help us, then? |
| 32005 I think I'd like to know more about what is going on first. |
| 32006 That depends on the reward you're offering. |
| 32007 The pit above is too steep to climb back up. Numerous corpses lie below that have been picked clean. |
| 32008 No, I don't think I'm interested. |
| 32009 Oh, stranger... my little Imnesvale is in dire straits. We are dying quickly, and yet we cannot leave. You look like a hearty sort... will you aid us? |
| 32010 I am with <CHARNAME>, and your new guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS> will not like this greeting! |
| 32011 I am sorry. We were told by Renal to come here. Is there a problem? |
| 32012 You're with <CHARNAME>? Well, send the danged fool over then. I needs to see <PRO_HIMHER> before I lets you in. |
| 32013 Get going. I ain't letting any common gutterskunks in here. This place ain't for you. |
| 32014 I think you should stand aside! I am your new guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>! |
| 32015 Renal told me to come here as the new guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>. Is there a problem? |
| 32016 Begging your pardon, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I meant nothing. I am simply told to guard the doors. Please, pay me no mind and enter as you wish. |
| 32017 Do not let it happen again! |
| 32018 You are just doing your job. Keep up the good work. |
| 32019 I would need to know more about what is going on here. |
| 32020 Yes, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, I will be more careful in future. |
| 32021 Aw, I tries me best, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I tries me best. |
| 32022 What kind of reward are you offering for the service? |
| 32023 Yes, I will help if I can. |
| 32024 No, I'm not interested. |
| 32025 Anarg's Cup |
| 32026 Good to be seeing you again, <CHARNAME>. Go as you please, of course. |
| 32027 Ah, I see. Well, do be careful, stranger... the killings have made Imnesvale a very inhospitable place indeed. |
| 32028 Anarg's Cup |
| 32029 Herrrm... yes, of course. It's a gruesome business. I'm sure that little Delon told you some of the story, but I should elaborate on it for your benefit. |
| 32030 I's been keeping up of <CHARNAME>'s friends, so's I knows you are okay. In you go, if you like. |
| 32031 You can no longer see the tent door. You shall have to go forward and look for another exit. |
| 32032 We've had a run of... killings and disappearances here as of late. People murdered in their beds... their bodies disappearing... bodies found with the skins inside out. |
| 32033 Shame about the guild, it is. Never got a chance to grow none. Shame it is. |
| 32034 Normally we would turn to our local ranger-protector to aid us in a time like this, but our ranger, Merella, has vanished. |
| 32035 The silver finish of this large goblet shines brightly as you turn the cup over in your hands. The cold metal bears a simple inscription, "Anarg the Fearless." The cup had been presented to him for faithful service to the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. It is a badge of honor for Anarg and losing it was a blow to his pride, only serving to further fuel his anger over losing his paladin status. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |

| 32037 You do that. I'll be here when e'er you need. |
| 32038 I'll keep that in mind. |
| 32039 Thanks, Rattell, let's see what you have currently. |
| 32040 Anything you need? Anything at all, you just ask. |
| 32041 Let me see what you have in stock. |
| 32042 I'll check back later. |
| 32043 Sure enough. I'll be here. |
| 32044 Sorry, but I can't afford to buy anything, and all my stock is being shipped to the main guild office. Can't fund a fence if the guild branch has collapsed. |
| 32045 Everyone's frightened... but they're scared to leave as well, else they get caught out in the wilderness by whatever has been doing the killing. |
| 32046 Sorry, I don't take orders from subordinates. I report only to <CHARNAME> and Renal. |
| 32047 And, of course, everyone has ideas on what's behind all of this... |
| 32048 Welcome to the guild. I haven't heard much about you, but if Renal says you're all right, I'll take his word on it. |
| 32049 It's the ogres, my husband... you know it is. |
| 32050 Errrrm... my wife, Eina. And, yes... many people think it's that group of ogres who moved into the area just before the killings began. Likely is, too. |
| 32051 Yes... you can find 'em in the hills a bit north of here. 'Course, others think it's a pack of very large wolves that's been ranging the hills for some years. |
| 32052 And still others claim Umar herself... the great witch of the hills... has returned. Legend has it she was responsible for deaths much like these ones. |
| 32053 They're in the hills... too close to the village, I say! |
| 32054 Pfaw! That is just old legends! Umar has been gone for over five hundred years, my husband! |
| 32055 Yes... true. I suppose I should warn you... I've already hired a famous knight, Mazzy Fentan, and her troupe... but they haven't been back. |
| 32056 My contacts say that Anarg is dead, but where is the Cup? As I said, the Cup is very important. Before you receive your reward, I must have Anarg's Cup. |
| 32057 To be honest, I think you should check on the ogres and their fellows before chasing after legends and such. So... will you... will you help us? |
| 32058 What kind of reward are you offering for this? |
| 32059 I will make the attempt, yes. |
| 32060 I suggest you leave, <SIRMAAM>. Your reputation precedes you. |
| 32061 No... I don't think I'm interested. |
| 32062 Herrrm... well, my village is in dire need. I'll tell you what... if you end the murders, I will give you the armor that belonged to our first ranger-protector. |
| 32063 That was my ancestor, and I've kept it. I'm told it's wrapped up with strong protective magics. I'd be happy to offer itâ€â€and some goldâ€â€to save my village. |
| 32064 That is wise of you. You would not want to cross him. |
| 32065 Yes, well, I am looking forward to helping this guild branch prosper. |
| 32066 Tell me the details of what's been going on here, then. |
| 32067 Let's not have an antagonistic relationship, <CHARNAME>. I am your lieutenant, and I will need to be able to trust you. |
| 32068 I'm sure you will. We'd all like a shot at being part of a successful chapter. Many are anxious to prove themselves in Mae'Var's absence. |
| 32069 This structure is surrounded by the stench of decay and filth. |
| 32070 I don't think I'm interested in helping out. |
| 32071 Now then, would you like the basics of the guild, or should we just get to business? |
| 32072 Tell me the basics. How do I run this place? |
| 32073 I'd like to get right to work. I think I know how to handle the place. |
| 32074 Well, you have a stable of several thieves here, which I will introduce to you. Each has a specialty, and each has more thieves under them. |
| 32075 You will direct their patterns of thievery. If successful, they will bring in money to the guild. If not, they may be captured by the city guards. |
| 32076 Oh, most excellent! Please, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... go to Merella's cabin and find where she has gone. My... men are too frightened to go that far from the village. |
| 32077 You must make a certain amount of gold to meet the quota set by Renal. If you miss a quota, you will be removed as guild leader and this branch will be closed. |
| 32078 You can pay the extra money out of your pocket if you like, but it'll get expensive. You'll get profits from the guild, but be careful you don't take too much. |
| 32079 Tell me a little about what's going on, then. |
| 32080 Renal "the Bloodscalp" runs the Shadow Thieves in the city... and he is the leader of numerous guildmasters that ply their dark trade throughout Athkatla. |
| 32081 Very well... I will make the attempt. |
| 32082 Mazzy has challenged Gorf the Squisher Mazzy met the lout, Gorf the Squisher, in the ring at the Copper Coronet and soundly defeated him. Should he get resurrected, one might hope that he will think twice before picking on the short folk in the future. |
| 32083 Mazzy has challenged Gorf the Squisher Mazzy's pride led her to challenge a gladiator, Gorf the Squisher, to a duel in the Copper Coronet's pit. Mazzy was killed, and Gorf got the last laugh. |
| 32084 The final battle with Bodhi I spoke to the head of the temple of Oghma, and he mentioned several books that revealed much on curing those afflicted with vampirism, particularly the "Vampiricus Omnibus." He couldn't say much about the books, however, other than that they were acquired from a bookseller in Imnesvale. |
| 32085 The final battle with Bodhi I spoke to the Imnesvale book merchant, who talked at length about how he acquired the "Vampiricus Omnibus." It once belonged to a man who apparently was also looking for a cure to vampirism... the man talked about a "temple full of shadows" and a statue with its "arms outstretched" that lay beyond a hopscotch-type floor. Putting the victim in the statue's arms along with the heart of the master vampire could, it seems, cure the curse. |

| 32096 Do not try to sell an item with no charges; the storekeep will think it does nothing and offer you 1 gold piece. NOTE: This also includes items that are recharged after resting. |

| 32105 But... but you have come all this way, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... are you sure you will not reconsider? |
| 32106 That depends on the reward you're offering. |
| 32107 I am sure. Goodbye. |
| 32110 *sigh* That is too bad, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Do be careful around these parts, then... I wouldn't want more victims claimed in these strange killings. |
| 32111 Your directions will result in higher or lower risk to your thieves, but sometimes simple bad luck intervenes. If a thief is captured, you can pay a bribe to get them out of prison. |
| 32112 You can continue with all your thieves in prison, but you will get no profit. No use getting mad at me... if I die, the guild fails. I have Renal's ear, you see. |
| 32113 You there... you watch us fight, yet lift no finger to assist. So obviously you have business with us. Might I ask its nature, and your name as well? |
| 32114 We are searching for your leader, to discuss a business opportunity. As for my name, it does not matter. |
| 32115 Now, would you like to discuss the patterns your thieves will assume this week? They are operating at a low level of risk right now, just covering the quota. |

| 32149 I don't think so... forget about it. |
| 32150 Merella's the ranger who protected these parts until her disappearance. Err... her cabin lies directly west of the village inn, but nobody's there now. |
| 32151 No... I'm looking for a cabin on some land owned by the Corthala family of Athkatla. |
| 32152 No, I don't think that's it... Thanks anyway. |
| 32153 Herrrm... no, I don't think I know anything about that... |
| 32154 Perhaps <PRO_HESHE> is speaking of the abandoned cabin in the hills, husband? |
| 32155 Could be. There is a cabin up in the northwest hills, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... unused for many years. Some wealthy Athkatla family owns it. |

| 32169 Leave it as it is, then. |
| 32170 I will make changes. |
| 32171 In five days, I will tell you the results of their work. Until then, speak with Lathan. He may have some business that requires your personal attention. |
| 32172 Actually, I don't think you'll have any more murders. A Shade Lord had possessed your ranger, Merella, and it has been destroyed. |

| 32174 Actually, I don't think you'll have any more murders. A Shade Lord had possessed your ranger, Merella, and it has been destroyed. |
| 32175 Oh, this is most joyous news! It is sad that Merella is dead... but we are most grateful to you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, for ridding us of this peril! |
| 32176 As agreed, here is the armor of my ancestor ranger... it is leather, but I assure you it is most strongly bound with magic to make it as strong as plate mail! |
| 32177 In fact... I have some armor from an ancestor of mine... once the ranger-protector for Imnesvale. It is bound with magic that makes it as strong as plate. |
| 32178 I do not wish my child, Valsben, to get ill-conceived ideas of adventuring... so I offer it to you in return for the service you have provided for us. |
| 32179 As well, with Merella now dead, I offer you her cabin. We... errrm... we could certainly use someone of your skills in the area on occasion. |
| 32180 We have always had a ranger to protect Imnesvale. Not... not that I press upon you any duties. The cabin is yours regardless. |
| 32181 My thanks to you again, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... it is a great relief to know that Imnesvale will now be safe. I will tell the townsfolk immediately! |

| 32191 No, no. The leather itself is more than enough. |
| 32192 Yes... yes, of course. I... I think this is all I can offer you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I hope that is sufficient. |
| 32193 You... you are very kind. It is good to know there are valiant and generous folk still in Faerûn... |
| 32194 Joril was a powerful frost giant that lived with his clan in the Spine of the World. His magic dagger was lost when he was killed by a band of adventurers.

| 32199 Hanz has already been assigned a task for this period. |
| 32200 It is, mayor. The Shade Lord will bother you no more. It had possessed the body of Merella, your ranger... who died once the shade was destroyed. |
| 32201 It seems the shade possessed your ranger and committed his evil acts from her body. My own companions are dead... and Merella was killed with the shade, sadly. |
| 32202 But you have <CHARNAME> here to thank for your salvation. I too would have perished were it not for <PRO_HISHER> most timely intervention. |
| 32203 It is not destroyed yet, mayor, but <CHARNAME> assures me that we shall. I trust <PRO_HIMHER>... were it not for <PRO_HISHER> timely intervention, I would surely be dead. |
| 32204 Resistances |
| 32205 Indeed? Then I beg of you, <CHARNAME>, aid my poor village and destroy this foul being! The murders have taken their toll, and we live in terrible fear! |
| 32206 Bif did not do anything. He was not assigned a task after being released from prison. |
| 32207 I will offer you the same as the knight... a fine suit of magical armor that belonged to my ranger ancestor! Plus gold, if you require. Will you help us? |
| 32208 I will do my best to aid you, mayor. |
| 32209 When I am able, yes. |
| 32210 No... I have no interest in returning to that Shade Lord's cave. |
| 32211 Oh... I see... |
| 32212 What?! You will not destroy the Shade Lord when it is clearly in your power to do so? I have sworn to aid these people and would ask that you assist them as well! |
| 32213 Fire |
| 32214 Cold |
| 32215 Very well... I shall make the attempt. |
| 32216 Forget it... I've no interest in the task. |
| 32217 Then you shall continue without my presence. My apologies, mayor... I had thought these oafs honorable. I must go to Trademeet and will return as soon as I am able. |
| 32218 Eh? <CHARNAME>... you have returned... and I see you have brought with you our lost adventurer knight! |
| 32219 Indeed? Then destroy this creature, <CHARNAME>, before my village is murdered in its sleep! I shall be more than happy to offer you a reward. |
| 32220 Electricity |
| 32221 Acid |
| 32222 Magic Fire |
| 32223 Magic Cold |
| 32224 Ah... my <PRO_LADYLORD>! You have returned... I take it that the dreadful shade creature has been dispatched? Is my village now safe? |
| 32225 No, I have not destroyed the Shade Lord yet. |
| 32226 Not... not yet? Then... why have you returned? Is there aught amiss? |
| 32227 No, nothing is wrong. I shall attempt to destroy the shade when I can. |
| 32228 I refuse to continue with this mission, mayor. |
| 32229 Oh... that is a relief. Please... I beg of you! Destroy this creature as soon as you can! |
| 32230 Oh... I see... |
| 32231 I... I am greatly disappointed. If... if you change your mind, please do tell me, yes? Imnesvale... we don't have much time, I think. |
| 32232 Yes, my <LADYLORD>? Is there... is there something you need? |
| 32233 Magic Damage |
| 32234 That's all of them. Do you wish to make changes to this weeks duties, or leave everyone as they are? |
| 32235 Surly's Dog |
| 32236 Surly's Dog |
| 32237 Party's Dog |
| 32238 Party's Dog |
| 32239 I'll make changes now. |
| 32240 I'll check back maybe later. |
| 32241 I wouldn't enter the sewers if I were you. You'll get yer eyes torn out by those crazies down there. |
| 32242 Eyes torn out by crazies? |
| 32243 I have killed the ogre Madulf and his followers. They will not bother your village again. |
| 32244 I have spoken to the ogre, Madulf, and I do not believe he nor his followers are responsible for Imnesvale's problem. |
| 32245 I believe the wolves... or wolf-like creatures... are responsible for your problem. |
| 32246 I believe that a Shade Lord is responsible for your village's problems. |
| 32247 You mentioned being in need of adventurers when we last spoke... are you still? |
| 32248 No, nothing. |
| 32249 That is most excellent news. That group has frightened the village for too long... I have no doubt they are responsible for everything that has happened. |
| 32250 Thank you, my <LADYLORD>. I... I must go and acquire your reward. I will not be back for a few hours. You could rest at the inn, or come back later for it. |
| 32251 If I must, I will return later. |
| 32252 I would prefer to have it now... I don't like waiting. |
| 32253 I'll pick up the reward the next time I'm in the area, then. |
| 32254 I apologize for the delay. I will be back in about seven hours or so with your reward... come and see me then, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 32255 I... I am afraid I do not have any reward here for you, my <LADYLORD>. I do not keep such valuables where... where others can get at them... |
| 32256 Oh... well, I will be back in about seven hours or so with your reward. Errrm... any time after that will be fine, as it pleases you. |
| 32257 Wh-what? But... but I was sure that those monsters were the killers! What makes you so certain that they are not? |
| 32258 Thanks for the advice. I'll stay out of the sewers. |
| 32259 Madulf has had his own people go missing... much the same as yours. He is as worried as you are. |
| 32260 I'm well armed and prepared. I'm sure that I'll be fine. |
| 32261 Aye, this is where they think the priests have been going when they disappear. When they come back, they've been blinded and converted to this Unseeing Eye religion. |
| 32262 Ohhh... that isn't good news at all. If ogres can be worried, what should we be? |
| 32263 Actually, Madulf sent me with a proposition... he and his people will provide protection for the village in exchange for peaceful relations and a bit of trade. |
| 32264 What are you talking about? |
| 32265 I will continue to look for the source of your problem. |
| 32266 Thanks for the warning. |
| 32267 I'm not going to continue with this mission. Get someone else to do it. |
| 32268 Just doing my job. |
| 32269 Why doesn't someone go down there and find out what's going on? |
| 32270 He... he has? I... I must say... that might not be such a bad idea. If this ogre can be... can be trusted, that is. |
| 32271 Thank you for bringing this to my attention, my <LADYLORD>. I will have to... go and talk to them, I suppose. We could both benefit from this. |
| 32272 Do as you wish. I warned you. |
| 32273 Since... since the ogres are no longer a possibility, all I can suggest is you go to Merella's cabin. There must be some evidence of what happened to her! |
| 32274 You haven't heard? Well, never mind. Just stay out of the sewers if you know what's good for you. |
| 32275 If... if that is the case, my <LADYLORD>, then I beg you to go and destroy these wolves! They cannot be allowed to continue their carnage! |
| 32276 We've sent the centurions down, but they haven't found anything. It's a mystery, all right. |
| 32277 Thanks for the information. |
| 32278 I'm well prepared. Perhaps I can solve this mystery. |
| 32279 You should go speak with one of the temple superiors. One of them might be willing to offer a reward for your troubles. |
| 32280 Please... you... you agreed to help my village, and I ask that you not abandon us now! |
| 32281 I wished to tell you a Shade Lord was responsible. It had possessed the body of Merella, your ranger... who died once the shade was destroyed. |
| 32282 Ah... er... there is a problem, my <LADYLORD>. You... you said that you had killed the ogre and his band quite some time ago, yes? |
| 32283 Yes, why? |
| 32284 Well... it seems that only a few hours ago, one of the more distant farm families in Imnesvale was attacked and... and killed. It was just like all the others. |
| 32285 What... what terrible news! The ogre and his band could not have been doing the killing after all... |
| 32286 Greetings to you once again, <GABBER>! Do not think that Imnesvale has forgotten the fact that you have saved us from doom... and possibly worse! |
| 32287 You should know that Madulf has agreed to protect the town... and the merchants are pleased to provide him with food and other sorts... |
| 32288 If there is anything that you need, do not hesitate to ask! |
| 32289 Actually, I have spoken to Madulf and his band. They are interested in protecting the town in exchange for decent relations and the right to trade here. |
| 32290 He... he has? I... I must say... that might not be such a bad idea. If this ogre can be... can be trusted, that is. |
| 32291 Truly, my <LADYLORD>? If we can... live alongside these creatures, perhaps we can both be the better off for it. I will... go and talk to them, I suppose. |
| 32292 I don't need anything at the moment. |
| 32293 Very well... you are welcome to stay in Imnesvale as long as you like, however. |
| 32294 Hail, <CHARNAME>! It is time! Renal awaits your tribute! |
| 32295 Dispel |
| 32296 Be ever watchful, <LADYLORD>. Do you require the services of Helm? |
| 32297 I do. |
| 32298 Not at present. |
| 32299 May Helm watch over you. |
| 32300 Blessed be the dawn! Do you require the services of Lathander? |
| 32301 I would like to see what you have to offer. |
| 32302 I do not. |
| 32303 Embrace the sunlight, my friend. |
| 32304 Poison |
| 32305 Beware, or ye'll be soon hangin' from yer tongue! |
| 32306 Eh? What is it ye want, stranger? |
| 32307 Just what is going on in this village, anyway? |
| 32308 Do you know anything about these killings? |
| 32309 Who are you? |
| 32310 Nothing, really. |
| 32311 I'll tell ye what is going on, me <LADYLORD>... the wolves that have been in the hills these past years are coming at us, they are! |
| 32312 Fer weeks now, they've been preyin' on us... sneakin' into the village at night and tearin' people apart. Then their bodies disappear the next night. |
| 32313 The first of your thieves is Hanz. He specializes in house-breaking and safe-cracking. Nobles are a favorite target of his. |
| 32314 'Tis a gruesome sight, t' be sure. I've seen 'em too... them wolves look at me from afar with smarts in their eyes. 'Tis the truth! |
| 32315 Hanz, eh? What is he currently up to? |
| 32316 Hanz, eh? What is he currently up to? |
| 32317 Hanz, eh? What is he currently up to? |
| 32318 Name's Groos. Came into the village with some of the other herders after some of us started being slaughtered... or just plain disappeared. Herders, farmers... anyone in the outlying lands. |
| 32319 I don't want to change the activity of any of the thieves. |
| 32320 The rest of the village is full o' fools! Them ogres... I seen 'em, and they ain't so bad. And the Umar stuff is nothin' but a load o' nonsense! |
| 32321 Has nothing been done to hunt these wolves? |
| 32322 Why would wolves come back to take away bodies a day later? |
| 32323 What do you know about the ogres? |
| 32324 What's this about Umar? |
| 32325 I'll be going, then. |
| 32326 I be Nelleck... one of the Imnesvale guards, is all. Wish I could go and do more against 'em wolves, but I can't leave the village alone, true enough. |
| 32327 What exactly is going on here? |
| 32328 I'll be going, then. |
| 32329 On yer way then, stranger. We don't need any more trouble here, that's fer certain. |
| 32330 Hanz is currently available for assignment. Do you want to change the way he goes about his business for the next 5 days or so? |
| 32331 Yes, I want to know exactly what he is up to. |
| 32332 Actually, leave him as is. Go to the next rogue. |
| 32333 Bloody mayor hired a halfling runt and her troupe to find out what's been happenin'. They haven't come back... wolves ripped 'em apart is my guess. |
| 32334 Why would wolves come back to take away bodies a day later? |
| 32335 What do you know about the ogres? |
| 32336 All right. How high of a quota should be set for him? This will of course mean burgling more or less houses, so there may be increased risk to him. |
| 32337 What's this about Umar? |
| 32338 I'll be going, then. |
| 32339 Don't rightly know. Ain't nothin' natural, that's for sure. They just seem to up an' vanish, as far as I can tell. |
| 32340 I want as high a return as possible. Tell him to do as many houses as he can. |
| 32341 Tell him to do his work in moderation. No need to get the guards in an uproar. |
| 32342 Has nothing been done to hunt these wolves? |
| 32343 What do you know about the ogres? |
| 32344 What's this about Umar? |
| 32345 Led by a big ogre fellow... Madulf, I think. Wants to be left alone. Fact that he'd talk first rather than kill ye makes him not th' worst sort in my books. |
| 32346 I'll be going, then. |
| 32347 They used t' belong to that big rebel army down in the south o' Amn... deserters likely. Seen 'em on my patrols... don't look like they're up to anythin'. |
| 32348 Has nothing been done to hunt these wolves? |
| 32349 Why would wolves come back to take away bodies a day later? |
| 32350 What's this about Umar? |
| 32351 I'll be going, then. |
| 32352 Just a load o' bull, is all. Ye wants t' know about Umar, go talk t' Vincenzo at the inn. He loves t' talk out o' his arse, he does. |
| 32353 Has nothing been done to hunt these wolves? |
| 32354 Why would wolves come back to take away bodies a day later? |
| 32355 What do you know about the ogres? |
| 32356 I'll be going, then. |
| 32357 I can't believe you went an' bought those fool kids swords! Neller's my son, and he's good fer nothin'. Those kids are going t' get themselves killed! |
| 32358 Ye're a mighty respectable sort, I suppose. I'd've thought it was them wolves causin' the problem... Good to know they're gone too, though. |
| 32359 I hears that you set up them ogres to help protect us, too. I could surely use th' help... an' the merchants are cacklin' like hens at the extra business. |
| 32360 Sure will look strange, though, when an ogre or two comes strollin' through the village plain as day... |
| 32361 Very well. Should he order his men to work in groups with him? There will be less jobs done, so less profit, but there will also be less risk of capture. |
| 32362 Very well then. Should Hanz have his men group up or spread out? Groups will mean less risk of capture, but also less individual jobs done. |
| 32363 Gaal's Key |
| 32364 Gaal's Key |
| 32365 We ain't fond of strangers here at the moment. There's been too many of the villagers gone missin', there has. |
| 32366 Keep to groups. I don't want guards sneaking up on them. |
| 32367 No, I want them to fan out as individuals. |
| 32368 They've brought in most of the outlyin' farmers and herders... no one's safe if they're alone for a minute. And even here ye ain't safe! |
| 32369 Me an' Johanna have been tryin' the best we can... fool son Dirbert is jus' goin' to get himself into trouble with no work to do, though. |
| 32370 If ye wants anythin', ye should be speakin' to the mayor. Minister Lloyd can help ye out. |
| 32371 Aye now... aren't ye the wee halfling lass that the mayor hired? What happened to all yer other fellas? |
| 32372 Groups would be best. Better safe than sorry. |
| 32373 No, they are doing fewer jobs as it is with a low quota. |
| 32374 Dead, good sir. An ignoble death as well... I hope you appreciate that they died in an effort to bring your safety. |
| 32375 Hold Undead (Necromancy) Level: 3 Range: 35 ft. Duration: 2 rounds/level Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature and any enemies within 10 ft. Saving Throw: Neg. This spell holds 1d4 undead creatures rigidly immobile and in place for 12 or more rounds. The effect is centered on the victim selected by the caster. Any enemies within 10 ft. of the target are also affected. Those who succeed on their Saving Throws are totally unaffected by the spell. Held creatures cannot move or speak, but they remain aware of events around them and can use abilities not requiring motion or speech. Being held does not prevent the worsening of the subject's condition due to wounds. |
| 32376 All right. Lastly, should they tackle large targets, or should Hanz keep to mercantile homes? Nobles are better guarded, but they have more lootables. |
| 32377 Very well. And what of potential targets? Should they go after high-profile, high-profit places or just stick to mercantile houses? High profile means high risk! |
| 32378 I jus' want ye t' know that we're mighty appreciative of all ye've done. Johanna and I can go back t' the farmhouse, soon as it's fixed up. |
| 32379 Hold Undead |
| 32380 Go for the better targets. |
| 32381 Keep to the lower profile targets. |
| 32382 I hears ye were the one who went an' bought me fool son, Neller, a load o' spirits. *sigh* Boy's probably passed out somewheres. Hope th' wolves don't get 'im. |
| 32383 Ye went an' bought them fool kids swords AND spirits? They're probably runnin' all over the countryside, foolish as ye please! What were ye thinkin'? |
| 32384 You are playing it fairly safe so far, but what about targets? Should they try for noble estates or mercantile homes? Estates are high profit, but higher risk. |
| 32385 Now... if I could only find me fool son, Dirbert. Some fool bought the boy a sword, an' off he ran like a yardape. |
| 32386 Should they go after high-profile places or just stick to mercantile homes? Nobles have more lootables, but there is a larger risk. |
| 32387 Now... if I could only find me son, Dirbert. Damn fool somehow got hold of ale and is likely off turning some outhouse into a vomitorium. Ah well... |
| 32388 I will inform Hanz of your instructions immediately. |
| 32389 I will inform Hanz of your instructions immediately. |
| 32390 I will inform Hanz of your instructions immediately. |
| 32391 I will inform Hanz of your instructions immediately. |
| 32392 Now... If I could only find me son, Dirbert. Damn fool got hold of a sword and some ale. Ran off t' be a bloody adventurer. Watch, now, he'll be hacked t' pieces by a kobold, no less. |
| 32393 Stone to Flesh |
| 32394 Stone to Flesh (Alteration) Level: 6 Range: 50 ft. Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell is the reverse of Flesh to Stone and will return any creature that has been turned to stone back to flesh. All possessions on the creature likewise return to normal. The effect is instantaneous and there are no Saving Throw checks required. |
| 32395 The spoils of the better targets will make up for the risk. Take the chance! |
| 32396 Ehh, that's enough risk already, I think. Best stick to the safer targets. |
| 32397 Try for the better targets. |
| 32398 Play it safe all the way. |
| 32399 Try for the homes of nobles. |
| 32400 Stick to the less guarded businessmen. |
| 32401 I beg of you, my <LADYLORD>... please help us! Find out what is killing everyone and put an end to it! |
| 32402 We are so thankful to you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! Imnesvale is now safe once again, and we can sleep in peace! |
| 32403 I suppose the peace with those ogres is... is good as well. I don't know what I will do if I see one of them come to the village, however. They are so frightening! |
| 32404 Helm's patience, my <LADYLORD>! Whatever are you thinking buying our son, Valsben, anything! Now he's gone and run off to act like a fool and probably get himself killed! Shame on you! |
| 32405 Unfortunately, Hanz is currently in the hands of the guards. Will you authorize his release? We can bribe the city officials if you put up the 100 gold. |
| 32406 Hanz is unfortunately dead. There is nothing that can be done for him. |
| 32407 I will have him released as soon as possible. Do you want to assign him his duties for the next week then? |
| 32408 Then Hanz will stay in the custody of the guards for now. I'll get a message to him so that he knows he is not forgotten. |
| 32409 Control Undead |
| 32410 Control Undead (Necromancy) Level: 7 Range: 40 ft. Duration: 6 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 1-4 creatures Saving Throw: Special The Control Undead spell allows the caster to take control of 1-4 undead creatures within the area of effect. This creates a telepathic link between the caster and the undead, allowing complete control. If the undead have 3 Hit Dice or less, then there is no Saving Throw allowed; however, if they have 4 Hit Dice or more, a Save vs. Spell is allowed to negate the effect. The undead remain under the control of the caster for the duration of the spell or until they are affected by a Dispel Magic. |
| 32411 I will pay it. No rogue of mine will languish in jail. |
| 32412 He'll have to wait. I cannot spare the coin just yet. |
| 32413 Yes, I will give him his duties now. |
| 32414 No, leave him to rest this week. |
| 32416 Fall back! Fall back an' regroup! |
| 32417 Your current instructions should pose very little difficulty for him. I'll wager he would even like more of a challenge. |
| 32418 Your current instructions should pose very little difficulty for him. I'll wager he would even like more of a challenge. |
| 32419 He will not likely appreciate such risky directions, but he will obey them as you command. I'm sure he will prevail against the odds. |
| 32420 He will not likely appreciate such risky directions, but he will obey them as you command. I'm sure he will prevail against the odds. |
| 32421 He is not likely to be too troubled by your directions. Fairly low difficulty for a housebreaker of his skill. I'm sure he will prove quite profitable. |
| 32422 He is not likely to be too troubled by your directions. Fairly low difficulty for a housebreaker of his skill. I'm sure he will prove quite profitable. |
| 32423 You have set a fairly difficult task before Hanz, but he is resilient and resourceful, and I am sure he will turn it to his profit. Expect good things of him. |
| 32424 You have set a fairly difficult task before Hanz, but he is resilient and resourceful, and I am sure he will turn it to his profit. Expect good things of him. |
| 32425 The next rogue is Goshan, an assassin. He is not limited to merely killing, but also uses strategic threats and... encouragement to pay for protection. |
| 32426 Hey, wouldn't it be cool if you could dual wield me? |
| 32427 Mass Invisibility |
| 32428 Mass Invisibility (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 7 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None Upon casting this spell, the wizard causes all friendly creatures within the area of effect to be affected by the spell Improved Invisibility. This spell is similar to the Invisibility spell, but the recipient is able to attack, either by missile discharge, melee combat, or spellcasting, and remain unseen. Note, however, that there are sometimes telltale traces, a shimmering, so that an observant opponent can attack the invisible spell recipient. These traces are only noticeable when specifically looked for (after the invisible character has made <PRO_HISHER> presence known). Attacks against the invisible character suffer -4 penalties to the attack rolls, and the invisible character's Saving Throws are made with a +4 bonus. |
| 32429 Invisibility, 10' Radius (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 3 Range: 0 Duration: Special Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius Saving Throw: None This spell causes all creatures within 20 ft. of the caster to vanish from sight and be undetectable by normal vision or even infravision. Of course, the invisible creature(s) are not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature(s) detectable. Even allies cannot see the invisible creature(s) or their gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Items dropped or put down by the invisible creature(s) become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature(s). The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, until the wizard or recipient cancels it, until the recipient attacks any creature, or until 24 hours have passed. The invisible being(s) cannot open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, etc. If they attack, they immediately become visible, although the invisibility enables them to attack first. |
| 32430 What is Goshan's current status? |
| 32431 What is Goshan's current status? |
| 32432 What is Goshan's current status? |
| 32433 Do not think me totally benevolent; I still intend to get some profit out of you. There will be a quota you must meet. If you fail, you will lose the guild. |
| 32434 I'll just leave everyone else the way they are. |
| 32435 There is nothing preventing Goshan from taking your orders this tenday. Do you want to modify what he will be doing for the next 5 days or so? |
| 32436 Yes, I will direct him personally. |
| 32437 No, that will be fine. Go to the next rogue. |
| 32438 I don't want him to do anything for the next few days. |
| 32439 I don't want him to do anything for the next few days. |
| 32440 How selective should he be in his clientele? It takes quite some time to make sure a job is on the level. More time to research will mean less profit. |
| 32441 Tell him to be as quick as possible in his research. We need the extra gold. |
| 32442 He should be very selective. I don't want him taking undue risk. |
| 32443 Very well. Should he also take less time in the execution of the job? Usually, there is a fair amount of investigation into target people or documents. |
| 32444 He should take his time on the target. |
| 32445 Again, he should be as quick as possible. |
| 32446 Should Goshan take his time researching the target as well? There is usually a reason the employer does not do the job himself. |
| 32447 Again, tell him to take his time. |
| 32448 No, he should be quick with the target. Get out of the job as soon as possible. |
| 32449 Very well. Which type of employment do you wish him to seek? Mainly intelligence-gathering work, or... extermination of pests? |
| 32450 Very well. Where should he concentrate his resources? Should he focus on mainly intelligence-gathering work, or more on... extermination of pests? |
| 32451 All right. You seem to be playing it safe so far, so I imagine you'll want him to stick mainly with information gathering, as opposed to assassinations. |
| 32452 Very well. Where should he concentrate his resources? Primarily intelligence-gathering work, or more with... extermination of pests? |
| 32453 Exterminations. They will pay better, despite the risk. |
| 32454 Lean more towards information-gathering. It is less risky. |
| 32455 Exterminations are the way to go. They will pay better because of the risk. |
| 32456 Lean more towards the gathering of information. It is less risky. |
| 32457 No, I don't want him to waste his talents. Have him seek out... pest removal jobs. |
| 32458 Yes, he should stick with simple information retrieval. |
| 32459 Pest removal. It will probably yield better payment. |
| 32460 Stick to spying and the like. No need to make blood enemies. |
| 32461 Very well. I will inform Goshan of your instructions. |
| 32462 Very well. I will inform Goshan of your instructions. |
| 32463 Very well. I will inform Goshan of your instructions. |
| 32464 Very well. I will inform Goshan of your instructions. |
| 32465 Goshan is in the custody of the city guards at the moment. We can bribe the guards if you will put up the 200 gold it will cost. |
| 32466 Goshan has passed on. Unfortunate, but there is nothing to be done about it. |
| 32467 I will have him released as soon as possible. Do you wish to assign him duties as well? |
| 32468 Then he will stay in custody for now. They will be guarding him well, so bribery is the only way. |
| 32469 Consider it paid. He is a valuable member of the guild. |
| 32470 I cannot pay it just now. He will have to wait. |
| 32471 Yes, he should be put straight back to work. |
| 32472 No, he can rest for a few days. |
| 32473 Goshan is already assigned a task for this period. |
| 32474 There is a small amount of risk in the task ahead, but bad luck can always strike. I will wish him well in his duties, and we shall see how he fares. |
| 32475 There is a small amount of risk in the task ahead, but bad luck can always strike. I will wish him well in his duties, and we shall see how he fares. |
| 32476 This is a very risky venture, but I'm sure Goshan is up to the task. Wish him luck, and we shall see how he fares. |
| 32477 This is a very risky venture, but I'm sure Goshan is up to the task. Wish him luck, and we shall see how he fares. |
| 32478 This should be a fairly easy series of tasks for Goshan. We shall see though. Things have gone wrong before. |
| 32479 This should be a fairly easy series of tasks for Goshan. We shall see though. Things have gone wrong before. |
| 32480 This is a reasonably difficult series of instructions for Goshan, but I'm sure it will all work out in the end. |
| 32481 This is a reasonably difficult series of instructions for Goshan, but I'm sure it will all work out in the end. |
| 32482 The next of your guild thieves is Kretor. He has a stable of pickpockets below him, and he makes sure that the purses of pedestrians are none too safe. |
| 32483 And this Kretor is ready to accept my commands? |
| 32484 And this Kretor is ready to accept my commands? |
| 32485 And this Kretor is ready to accept my commands? |
| 32487 Everyone else is fine the way they currently are. |
| 32488 Kretor awaits your words as we speak. |
| 32489 Very well. How rough should he be with his victims? Should he try to cut a purse and sneak away, or should they actively mug the odd commoner? |
| 32490 All right. Should he stick to the taverns and inns where his victims will be intoxicated, or should he scout the upscale areas, such as the Government District? |
| 32491 As you wish. Should he stick to the taverns and inns where his victims will likely be intoxicated, or scout the upscale areas, such as the Government District? |
| 32492 Very well. One last thing: Should he bribe the owners of the establishments he works out of? It is always good if the witnesses are sympathetic to the accused. |
| 32493 Then I shall detail what is needed of him. |
| 32494 I'm sure he is fine as he is. Move to the next in my service. |
| 32495 I want him to do nothing. I want none of his cutpurses on the street. |
| 32496 I want as much gold as he can muster. Tell him not to spare the blackjack. |
| 32497 I don't want people seriously hurt. Tell him to stick to lifting purses. |
| 32498 This is risky indeed! Will you bribe the owners of the places he works out of? It is safer if they are sympathetic, but if you are concerned about the gold... |
| 32499 Since you are playing it safe, I imagine you will wish Kretor to bribe the owners of the taverns he works out of. It costs a few coins, but it can buy silence. |
| 32500 The taverns will be fine. Most will never miss their drinking money. |
| 32501 Go straight for the rich areas. I don't want peasant money. |
| 32502 Stay amongst the reveling crowds. They will not notice a thief as easily. |
| 32503 The risk is worth going to the rich areas. Have him avoid commoners. |
| 32504 One last thing: It is customary to bribe the owner of the establishment you work around. Should he pay for silence, or just try not to get noticed? |
| 32505 Save the money and just be careful. |
| 32506 By all means. Buying silence is a fine investment. |
| 32507 All gold will come back here. There will be none for outsiders. |
| 32508 Silence is golden, and I don't mind paying for it. |
| 32509 Tell him to save the money and just try not to get caught. |
| 32510 Yes. I want as little risk as possible. Pay the gold. |
| 32511 Tell him not to bribe anyone. The gold should come back to the guild. |
| 32512 He should pay. I don't want to invite trouble by not doing it. |
| 32513 I will tell Kretor of all you have decided. |
| 32514 I will tell Kretor of all you have decided. |
| 32515 I will tell Kretor of all you have decided. |
| 32516 I will tell Kretor of all you have decided. |
| 32517 Kretor has been arrested and is being held out of our reach. It will cost 50 gold to have him released. This is a reasonable bribe. Can you pay the gold? |
| 32518 Kretor is dead. There is nothing to be done about it. |
| 32519 I will effect his release then. Do you wish to assign him duties now, or will you wait? |
| 32520 Then he will stay in prison, in the company of gutter trash and thugfists. |
| 32521 I will pay. His business is humble, but it is valuable to the guild. |
| 32522 He will have to wait. |
| 32523 I will assign them now. He will have to earn back his ransom. |
| 32524 No, I will give him time to rest for now. |
| 32525 Kretor is already assigned a task for this period. |
| 32526 The guidelines you have set mean an easy time for Kretor, though it is never certain how things will come to an end. |
| 32527 The guidelines you have set mean an easy time for Kretor, though it is never certain how things will come to an end. |
| 32528 Your tasks mean a rough few days ahead for Kretor. I'm sure he can manage, but it will be difficult. |
| 32529 Your tasks mean a rough few days ahead for Kretor. I'm sure he can manage, but it will be difficult. |
| 32530 Things should go well. What you have outlined is not too difficult. We shall see though. |
| 32531 Things should go well. What you have outlined is not too difficult. We shall see though. |
| 32532 The next few days may be a little difficult with what you have ordered. I'm sure it will turn out for the best though. |
| 32533 The next few days may be a little difficult with what you have ordered. I'm sure it will turn out for the best though. |
| 32534 The next rogue in your employ is Morsa, and she has a gift for bringing contraband goods into the city. |
| 32535 A smuggler, eh? Is she currently active? |
| 32536 A smuggler, eh? Is she currently active? |
| 32537 A smuggler, eh? Is she currently active? |
| 32538 Time? Time for what? What are you doing here? |
| 32539 That's enough. Everyone else can stay as they are. |
| 32540 Morsa is more than ready to serve. Shall you change how she does her tasks? |
| 32541 Yes, I want to take an active hand in this. |
| 32542 I'm sure she knows her business. Leave her as is. |
| 32543 I want her to stop. I want no smuggled goods brought into the city. |
| 32544 Very well. Morsa prefers to bring in small amounts of items for individuals, as they are harder to detect. But she can bring in large shipments for guilds. |
| 32545 Volume, volume, volume. Have her transport as much as possible. |
| 32546 Tell her to stick to what she feels is best. Small amounts are fine. |
| 32547 Now to contents. She prefers benign substances, but she can get dangerous spell components for mages. These are harder to transport, but they pay better. |
| 32548 She tries to stick to jewels and the like, but she can also bring in dangerous goods for mages and other deviants. |
| 32549 Tell her to avoid dangerous goods. They are not worth the trouble. |
| 32550 The profits are worth it to risk the dangerous substances. |
| 32551 I want her to stay away from the dangerous goods. |
| 32552 She should bring in whatever is more profitable. The safe stuff is not worth it. |
| 32553 Very well. Now, I must ask. She does not like it, but there is good money in smuggling slaves. Should she dabble in this as well? |
| 32554 Since you are being risky anyway, I should tell you that there is a lot of money to be made in smuggling slaves. The dangers are high though. |
| 32555 You're playing it safe, but I should ask anyway. There is money to be made in smuggling slaves. Should Morsa dabble in this? |
| 32556 There is something else to consider. There is good money in smuggling slaves. Should Morsa dabble in this as well? |
| 32557 She would just be the transport, so I see no harm. |
| 32558 Absolutely not. I won't have it. |
| 32559 The gold will ease any pangs of guilt I feel. Have her do it. |
| 32560 I will have no such thing in my guild. |
| 32561 By all means. She will just be a go-between, so I see nothing wrong. |
| 32562 I will not have such a thing in my guild. I forbid it. |
| 32563 Certainly. If not us, then someone else. We might as well profit. |
| 32564 No, I will not allow it. I will not have the guild associated with slave trading. |
| 32565 I will inform Morsa of your decisions. |
| 32566 I will inform Morsa of your decisions. |
| 32567 I will inform Morsa of your decisions. |
| 32568 I will inform Morsa of your decisions. |
| 32569 Morsa is in the hands of the guards. Smugglers are not well liked, and it will cost 250 gold to bribe her out. Do you have the coin to pay? |
| 32570 Morsa is dead. It is a great loss, and there is nothing to be done about it. |
| 32571 I will see to it that she is released before the day is out. Will you want her to return to her duties immediately? |
| 32572 Then she will stay there until the money is available. |
| 32573 Yes, I must recoup these losses quickly. |
| 32574 No, let her rest a while. |
| 32575 I will pay. She will be free as soon as possible. |
| 32576 She will have to wait. |
| 32577 Morsa is already assigned a task. |
| 32578 The conditions you have given will not be difficult to fulfill. I hope Morsa does not get complacent. |
| 32579 The conditions you have given will not be difficult to fulfill. I hope Morsa does not get complacent. |
| 32580 The conditions you have set will be extremely dangerous for Morsa. I'm sure she can handle it, but I'll wager it will be difficult. |
| 32581 The conditions you have set will be extremely dangerous for Morsa. I'm sure she can handle it, but I'll wager it will be difficult. |
| 32582 The conditions you have set should be fairly reasonable to achieve. Everything should be fine, though who can be sure? |
| 32583 The conditions you have set should be fairly reasonable to achieve. Everything should be fine, though who can be sure? |
| 32584 This may be a difficult time for Morsa, but I think she can handle it. I hope all goes well. |
| 32585 This may be a difficult time for Morsa, but I think she can handle it. I hope all goes well. |
| 32586 You have one more rogue. Varia's preferred activity is providing "protection" and keeping embarrassing facts about powerful people safe... for a fee. |
| 32587 I don't see what all the fuss is about. 'Tis the ogres who have been killing everyone... that's what monsters do! |
| 32588 You look like the decent sort who can hold a sword... why don't you go and slaughter those ogres and save us all a lot of trouble? |
| 32589 It's terrible! People have been found dead in their homes, with their skins inside out! And then their bodies even disappear! Ander and I fled from our farmhold to be safe here! |
| 32590 We are so thankful that you saved the village! After that first group of adventurers didn't come back, I was sure we were all lost! |
| 32591 Protection rackets and blackmail, eh? Is she ready for orders? |
| 32592 Protection rackets and blackmail, eh? Is she ready for orders? |
| 32593 Protection rackets and blackmail, eh? Is she ready for orders? |
| 32594 Haha! You are of course joking with me. You know full well that your guild quota must be paid to Renal lest he take your charter from you. |
| 32595 I'm sure she's fine. I'll leave her the way she is. |
| 32596 I don't understand, though, why the mayor made that agreement with the ogres. They're going to protect us? More like they're going to save us for their next dinner! |
| 32597 Somebody gave my poor baby a sword, of all things. The gods know what he's going to do with it, leading those other boys all over the place! |
| 32598 Oh! I can't believe that my poor baby got ahold of a barrel of ale! When I last saw him, he was so pale it looked like he was going to just up and die, he was so drunk! |
| 32599 Varia is ready to take orders. She will do as you bid. |
| 32600 Good. I want to take as direct a hand in this as I can. |
| 32601 I'll just have her stay as she is. She knows her business, I am sure. |
| 32602 Then have her cease all activities for the next little while. |
| 32603 My... my poor drunken baby is leading a pair of other boys around the countryside... and he's armed! Oh, how did this happen? I'm so worried... those ogres are going to eat him, I just know it! |
| 32604 You... I remember you. You're the ranger who came to buy some food before you went out into the hills, didn't you? Are... are you replacing Merella? |
| 32605 Very well. She prefers to offer "protection" to the merchants of the outlying towns, such as Trademeet. Less profitable, but the guards are less effective. |
| 32606 Nay, my lady. I'd happily settle in your hamlet and be your ranger, but I doubt that that will be my destiny. |
| 32607 Tell her to work here in Athkatla. The merchants here can pay more. |
| 32608 A wise policy. Have her continue. |
| 32609 As you wish. How forceful should she be? She gets less coin if she is lenient, but the victims are less likely to call the authorities. |
| 32610 Very well. Should she use force to encourage payment? Threats lose their sting eventually, but harming people results in higher guard activity. |
| 32611 Off with you. I'm waiting for someone. |
| 32612 Ah! A good day to you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>... it is nice to see a new face in the village for once. We haven't had many travelers through here since all these killings began, naturally. |
| 32613 No need for anyone to get hurt. Keep her negotiations civil. |
| 32614 If people refuse to pay, they should suffer for it. It will encourage others. |
| 32615 People don't need to get hurt in these deals. |
| 32616 If people do not pay, we must back up our threats with force. |
| 32617 I'd be pleased to show you some of the goods I have to sell, although I must warn you... our mercantile company hasn't had much opportunity to deliver lately, so goods are spare. |
| 32618 What can you tell me about all these killings? |
| 32619 Why doesn't everyone just leave? |
| 32620 Show me what you have to sell. |
| 32621 I'll be on my way. |
| 32622 Ah! Now that's a tale and a half. Mind you... don't listen to the dribble these villagers might tell you... they'd have you half-believing that a five-hundred-year-old witch is on the prowl. |
| 32623 It will be so. In her blackmail endeavors, she usually sticks to minor government officials. Their secrets are not worth as much, but they pay more readily. |
| 32624 All right. Now, in her blackmail endeavors, she usually sticks to minor government officials. Their secrets are not worth as much, but they pay more readily. |
| 32625 Since you are playing it safe, will you want her to blackmail lesser government officials? Their secrets are not worth as much, but they pay more readily. |
| 32626 And should she confine her blackmail to lesser government officials? Their secrets are not worth as much, but they pay more readily. |
| 32627 Tell her to focus efforts on higher-level officials. The coin is worth the risk. |
| 32628 Tell her to concentrate on the lower-level officials for now. |
| 32629 Go for the higher-level officials! There is no gain without risk! |
| 32630 Stay to the lesser officials in government. We don't need powerful enemies. |
| 32631 I think she should approach the upper-level targets. It is worth the risk. |
| 32632 Yes, stay with the lower-level targets. No need to make powerful enemies. |
| 32633 No, try for the upper-level officials. It's worth the risk. |
| 32634 Stay with the intermediate officials. No need to anger powerful enemies. |
| 32635 You see, the real story is that there's a pack o' wolves that's decided to come into the village area here and pick people off. You can't even travel much unless you got an armed guard. |
| 32636 Are you sure you want to cancel? You have already cast the spell. |
| 32637 Makes for poor business, it does. Our company thought it was a good thing when we won exclusive rights to Imnesvale from the council. Now it's just losin' us money. Tch. |
| 32638 Show me what you have to sell, then. |
| 32639 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 32640 Always willing to satisfy a customer... with gold, that is. |
| 32641 You be careful around these parts, then, if you plan on wanderin' around much. |
| 32642 Well... some people still think the problem can be solved. I hear the mayor hired a band of adventurers to look into it, but they've disappeared. |
| 32643 I will inform Varia of your directions. |
| 32644 I will inform Varia of your directions. |
| 32645 I will inform Varia of your directions. |
| 32646 I will inform Varia of your directions. |
| 32647 No one wants to travel alone, but if something isn't done soon, they might decide to all leave together. 'Tis a shame... this is a prosperous village otherwise. Good business, usually. |
| 32648 Show me what you have to sell, then. |
| 32649 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 32650 Varia is incarcerated. Seems she angered the wrong member of government. I estimate it will require a 300 gold bribe to free her. Will you pay it? |
| 32651 Varia is dead. There is nothing to do but move on. |
| 32652 I will make sure she is free before day's end. Do you wish to assign her a task now? |
| 32653 Then she will remain in custody until you say otherwise. |
| 32654 Good to see you again, <SIRMAAM>. Since you saved this village, things have returned to normal, which is a mighty good thing. I'm grateful, for one... as is my company. |
| 32655 I will pay. I wouldn't want her on my bad side. |
| 32656 I will not pay just yet. She will have to wait. |
| 32657 Especially considering the fact that I know you engineered that deal with Madulf and his fellows. Never would o' thought to sell goods to an ogre, but there it is... and he's a fair bargainer, too. |
| 32658 Anything I can get our hero today, then? |
| 32659 Yes, she needs to earn back this bribe money. |
| 32660 No, she may rest for now. |
| 32661 Yes, please... let me see what you have in stock. |
| 32662 No, thanks. |
| 32663 More than pleased to, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 32664 Well, you take care of yourself, then. |
| 32665 Are you sure you want to dispel that contingency? |
| 32666 Varia has already been assigned a task for this period. |
| 32667 The conditions you have set forth for Varia are pretty easy to meet, though nothing is ever certain. I am sure it will turn out well though. |
| 32668 The conditions you have set forth for Varia are pretty easy to meet, though nothing is ever certain. I am sure it will turn out well though. |
| 32669 These are sure to be difficult conditions for her to meet, though she has always been up to the task before. I'm sure it will all work out for the best. |
| 32670 These are sure to be difficult conditions for her to meet, though she has always been up to the task before. I'm sure it will all work out for the best. |
| 32671 She should find these conditions relatively easy to meet. I am sure everything will turn out for the best. |
| 32672 She should find these conditions relatively easy to meet. I am sure everything will turn out for the best. |
| 32673 This will be a relatively difficult set of circumstances for her to overcome. I'm sure she'll be up to the task though. |
| 32674 This will be a relatively difficult set of circumstances for her to overcome. I'm sure she'll be up to the task though. |
| 32675 Yes? What is it that you want, exactly? If you want to buy something, then say so quickly because I've got little enough time to spare for the likes of you. |
| 32676 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 32677 What do you know about what's going on in this village? |
| 32678 Watch your tone with me, gnome. |
| 32679 I'll be going, then. |
| 32680 Fine. But don't touch anything unless you're planning on buyin' it. |
| 32681 Nothin'. And I don't want to know nothin'. All I want is to be able to get out of this stinkin' village safely once the roads are open. Merchant can't make a decent livin' here. |
| 32682 Let me see what you have in stock, then. |
| 32683 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 32684 Bah! Get out of my face, you moronic <RACE>... I could care less for yer wounded feelings. |
| 32685 Hmph. I see Urdlen is still busy spreading his ill-tempered seed over this half of the continent, at least. |
| 32686 Begone, gnome! And take yer friends with you! |
| 32687 I have nothing to report on the status of your rogues just yet. We must wait until five days have elapsed. |
| 32688 Good. I think I'd like the back side of you better anyway, gettin' smaller as ye walk away. |
| 32689 *sigh* I just know that one of these days, one of those ogres is going to come down and massacre me, just like those other villagers. I... I never thought of something like this when I became a merchant! |
| 32690 It is time to see how your thieves functioned with their last set of instructions. I'll begin with Hanz. |
| 32691 Can I see what you have in stock? |
| 32692 Hanz did reasonably well. He did not have much of a challenge, but a meager profit is ample reward for low risk. |
| 32693 Hanz has returned a nice profit, after his sources and men have been paid. Not the most dangerous set of tasks, but they yielded a fine amount of coin. |
| 32694 What do you know about these killings? |
| 32695 Hanz has returned with a nice profit. His task was dangerous, but his skill has brought him through unscathed. |
| 32696 It was amazing that he returned at all, but Hanz has pulled through. His task was very difficult, and he has an appropriate amount of coin to show for it. |
| 32697 Hanz was unfortunately captured trying to complete your instructions. Will you pay the 100 gold bribe to have him released? |
| 32698 Very well, I will have him released as soon as possible. You will have to reassign him his tasks when I am done reporting on the others. |
| 32699 I'll be going, then. |
| 32700 Oh, I suppose so... but there isn't much. Caravans just won't come here unless they're stocked with guards... and that doesn't make it very profitable, now, does it? |
| 32701 Ohhh, it's a terrible thing, isn't it? People dying left and right... you can hardly find a customer anymore, and that's probably okay because nobody will restock me now anyway. |
| 32702 Yes, I will not have him stuck behind bars. |
| 32703 No, he will have to wait. |
| 32704 Then Hanz will remain out of our reach until the bribe is paid. |
| 32705 Hanz is unfortunately dead. Nothing to be done about that. |
| 32706 Somebody should do something about those ogres, though. Ever since they came, it all started. One of my caravans once got attacked by ogres... they're evil and brutal! |
| 32707 Hanz was not assigned a set of instructions, so he has nothing to show for this past period. You can modify his itinerary after I finish reporting on the others. |
| 32708 Let's check on how Goshan did under your instruction. |
| 32709 Can I see what you have in stock? |
| 32710 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 32711 Al-all right... just... just be careful of those hungry ogres! |
| 32712 I... I can't tell you how relieved I am that you've stopped all the killings! I was sure I was a goner! Maybe now people will start coming back to the village. |
| 32713 And... and I met my first ogre face-to-face. He... he wanted to buy some apples that I had shipped up from my orchard outside Athkatla. I was sure he was going to eat me instead, but he didn't. |
| 32714 Well, anyway... did you wish to buy something? |
| 32715 Sure. Let me see what you have. |
| 32716 No thanks, I'll be going. |
| 32717 Always a pleasure. And now I have a full stock, too. |
| 32718 See you around here, then. |
| 32719 Goshan has returned with a small profit. There was not much risk involved at all, so he has brought an appropriate amount as a reward. |
| 32720 Goshan has made a fair profit for the low-risk instructions you gave him. Of course, he has had to pay contacts and the like. |
| 32721 Goshan is back with a fine profit, escaping all dangers unscathed. He is quite skilled, I'm sure you will agree. |
| 32722 Goshan has survived all you have put before him and returned with a tidy sum, though I am sure he is not grateful for the risk of his tasks. |
| 32723 Goshan could not avoid being caught by the city guard. Will you pay the 200 gold bribe to have him released? |
| 32724 Very well, I will have him released as soon as possible. You will have to reassign him his tasks when I am done reporting on the others. |
| 32725 Then Goshan will stay locked up until you say and pay otherwise. |
| 32726 Aye? Is there something that ye want? |
| 32727 Certainly. I would not wish him to be left behind bars for long. |
| 32728 He will have to wait it out in jail for now. |
| 32729 Who are you? |
| 32730 What can you tell me about these killings? |
| 32731 Not really, no. |
| 32732 Goshan is no longer among the living. Unfortunate, but there is nothing to be done. |
| 32733 Well, me name's Dale... I do some herdin' out in the fields with the cows and such with me wife here and me kids. Came into the village... just ain't safe anymore out there. |
| 32734 Goshan was not assigned a task in this last period. You will have to modify his instructions when I am done reporting on the others. |
| 32735 I knows two other herders who vanished. An' the farmers ain't safe, neither. Farmer Jacob an' his wife were both slaughtered... and then their bodies disappeared. Turrible things, all. |
| 32736 Next under your command is Kretor. Let's check on his progress. |
| 32737 Well, it's 'em ogres, sure enough. Ye gets monsters in the area, ye gets killings in the area. Me wife thinks it's the wolves, but that's just foolish talk. |
| 32738 Wolves would go after th' cows, right? An' we've had no more killin' of the cows than we've had since the wolves showed up a couple years back. |
| 32739 Kretor played it safe, as per your instruction. He kept his activities to a minimum and has returned with a small bit of coin. |
| 32740 Kretor did not face too much difficulty in meeting your demands. He has returned with a few gold, but not a great amount. |
| 32741 Kretor has proven quite resourceful. Your conditions were difficult, but he has met them and returned with a fair amount of gold. |
| 32742 Complain as he might about the unreasonable nature of your instructions, Kretor has nonetheless returned victorious. He has brought quite a bit of coin. |
| 32743 Kretor was jailed for his actions and will require a bribe of 50 gold to be released. Will you pay it? |
| 32744 Very well, I will have him released as soon as possible. You will have to reassign him his tasks when I am done reporting on the others. |
| 32745 Kretor will rot with the other gutter trash in a pauper's prison until you say otherwise. |
| 32746 Kretor has been killed. Nothing more to be said about it. |
| 32747 Kretor was not given any instructions for this past period. You can modify his itinerary after I have finished reporting on the others. |
| 32748 Next under your command is Morsa. Shall we see how she has fared under your leadership? |
| 32749 People gets hysterical, they does. Groos there babbles on about that witch... and me daughter, Kaatje, is no better with her stories. Ye should hear her, heh. |
| 32750 It's the ogres... and they'll come an' finish us all off once 'ey've picked us clean to small enough numbers. We should be fleein' as soon as we can, true enough. |
| 32751 You just watch yerself around here... them ogres'll be the death of us all, they will. |
| 32752 What can you tell me about these killings? |
| 32753 Do you know anything about a cabin on some land owned by the Corthala family in these parts? |
| 32754 Do you know anything about a cabin on some land owned by the Corthala family in these parts? |
| 32755 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 32756 Hmm. Lots of them old families own land in these parts. Goes back to the mithral rush back, oh, two hunnert years or so. Hardly none of 'em built anything on their land, though. |
| 32757 I think I remember someone mentionin' an old cabin in the hills not far from here, but I don't know anythin' more about it. Ask Groos, maybe... he goes that way more'n I do. |
| 32758 Yes, I will. He is of no use behind bars. |
| 32759 No, he will have to wait. |
| 32760 Morsa kept her activities to a minimum, transporting only small amounts of contraband. Her return is accordingly small. |
| 32761 The risk was small, but the reward is just fine comparatively. A nice profit, all things considered. She would probably enjoy more of a challenge though. |
| 32762 Morsa responded well to this level of challenge and has returned with a tidy sum of gold. It was risky, but she came through just fine in the end. |
| 32763 She did not enjoy the danger of the situation you put her in, but nevertheless, she has pulled it off and come through. She has brought a nice sum. |
| 32764 Morsa has been caught smuggling and is now in a jail somewhere. I estimate that the bribe for her release will cost 250 gold. Can you pay it? |
| 32765 Very well, I will have her released before the day is out. You will have to reassign her tasks to her when I am done reporting on the others. |
| 32766 Then she will stay locked up until you can put up the gold. |
| 32767 Morsa is dead. A sad loss, and sadder still that there is nothing to be done about it. |
| 32768 Morsa was not given instructions, so she has nothing to show for this past period. You can modify her itinerary after I finish reporting on the others. |
| 32769 Last in your service is Varia. Let's check on how she has done under your instruction. |
| 32770 Err... hullo. Don't meet a lot o' strangers around here. 'Specially as o' late. |
| 32771 Who are you? |
| 32772 What do you know about the killings around here? |
| 32773 Do you know anything about a cabin on some land owned by the Corthala family in these parts? |
| 32774 I'll be going. |
| 32775 Yes, get her back in my service as soon as possible. |
| 32776 No, she will have to wait. |
| 32777 She did reasonably well, considering the restrictions you put on her. Her risk was low, so her return is as well. A meager profit. |
| 32778 Varia did well for you. The risk was relatively low, however, so the rewards are not too high. A nice return regardless. |
| 32779 She has done well and returned with a nice profit. The risk was worth it, I suppose. Well instructed. |
| 32780 She is well worth her pay today. The risk was astounding, but she has returned with nary a scratch on her. |
| 32781 Varia has been taken prisoner by the guards. They do not approve of her blackmail tactics, and it will cost a 300 gold bribe to get her out. |
| 32782 She will be free by nightfall. You will have to assign her tasks to her once again, however. Otherwise, she will just enjoy being free. |
| 32783 Then Varia will languish in prison until she is freed. |
| 32784 Varia is no longer alive. It is a great loss. |
| 32785 Varia was not assigned a set of instructions, so she has nothing to show for this past period. You can modify her itinerary shortly, if you so choose. |
| 32786 Now then, that's all of them. Do not forget to give the quota master his dues, or Renal will close down the guild. He does not wait for long. |
| 32787 The mayor sent some people out to find out what's happenin'... but I know what's goin' on. It's Umar... the witch is come back, and there ain't no one who goes into the hills going t' come back now. |
| 32788 Umar? |
| 32789 I will pay it. She is a valuable member of the guild. |
| 32790 I will not pay it at this time. |
| 32791 You can now choose to do one of two things. Your thieves can continue with the same instructions they already have, or you can choose to change their focus. |
| 32792 I will leave them as they are. No need to change anything. |
| 32793 I will modify their instructions. |
| 32794 Do you know anything about a cabin on some land owned by the Corthala family in these parts? |
| 32795 Well, I should be going. |
| 32796 I knows plenty more than I wants to, believe me. The murders... skin missin', bodies disappearin'... it's the very things that happened when Umar ruled these lands, y'see. She's come back. |
| 32797 Umar? |
| 32798 There's lots of land owned by them old families. They all thought there was mithral here, long time ago. Half right, I suppose... there was a little, and it ran out right quick. |
| 32799 Little mines and temples went an' got swallowed up by the trees... all the families went an' left it all behind. Some kept a little piece o' land here an' there... like the cabin ye're talkin' about. |
| 32800 It's in the hills, it is... not far, but inaccessible. There's a ranger fella that goes out there warned me not to get too close to the cabin. Set out lots of traps, he says. |
| 32801 I gets the sense that the fella's hidin' scared there. Shame... seems nice enough. Can't be rich, though... probably just usin' the cabin that was already there. |
| 32802 I'd show ya exactly where, but there ain't no way I'm going back into the hills until Umar has had her fill. Which may be never... so there it is. |
| 32803 Okay. Don't go into the hills, though... just a friendly warnin'. |
| 32804 She's a powerful old witch... ruled these hills over five hundred years ago. Disappeared... no one knows where to, but she's come back, that's for sure. |
| 32805 People 'round here... they don't believe me, I know. But they don't go deep into the hills where I go. Late at night... ye hears things not o' this world, and it makes ye believe anythin' is possible. |
| 32806 If ye don't believe me, go an' ask Vincenzo at the inn. He knows more about Umar'n anybody. |
| 32807 Um... hello, my <LADYLORD>. 'Tis a bad time you picked to visit our fair village. |
| 32808 Who are you? |
| 32809 Why? What do you know about these killings? |
| 32810 I'll be going, then. |
| 32811 My... my name is Margie. Short for Margaret. My husband is Dale... one of the herders. We fled from the outskirts of the village lands because of the wolves. |
| 32812 Wolves? |
| 32813 Well, I should be going, then. |
| 32814 The wolves have picked this year to start in on us people... mauling and stealing corpses. It has... it has been just ghastly. They've been around for several years, but they've never been this bad. |
| 32815 Everyone gets so upset and frightened... and they start thinking things are happening that aren't. Some people are blaming the ogre and his band... but they haven't done anything to harm us. |
| 32816 After all, how could an ogre steal into the village and steal a body? No, no. And tales of Umar are just fanciful. Even my daughter, Kaatje, hears these things and comes up with wild stories. |
| 32817 The wolves around here have always been a danger... they're large and they're smart. And they're just a danger once again... that's all there is to it. People should know better. |
| 32818 Good luck to you, then, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 32819 Yes, yes, I have been expecting you. No need to get excited. |
| 32820 This is not exciting. I am merely eager to receive your guild quota. Renal awaits it. He wishes to see if you are a profitable guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>. If not, someone else will be appointed. |
| 32821 Now then, if you would be so kind as to give me the gold that you owe. It is a small amount, surely. You look a prosperous guild. |
| 32822 This time is a mere 500 gold. Certainly you can pay this without too much stress. Your thieves are young, but they are skilled. |
| 32823 Again, a mere 500 gold to appease your betters in the main guild offices. Certainly you are able to pay. |
| 32824 I am afraid that I must ask for a total of 1,000 gold this time. Renal demands hard sacrifices from all his guild underlings, and you are no different. |
| 32825 Once again, we must all tighten our belts and pay what we can. Renal asks for a quota of 1,000 gold. It is hard, but fair. |
| 32826 A reprieve for you this time. Renal has said that I need only collect 350 gold from your guild today. Very reasonable, I should think. |
| 32827 A mere 500 gold is the tally this time. You have met the demand for larger amounts before, so no doubt this will be an easy goal. |
| 32828 This time I am called to relieve you of 900 gold as quota. Renal will make good use of your tribute. |
| 32829 300 gold is all that is asked this week. A mere pittance from a successful guild such as yours. |
| 32830 Ahh, unfortunately I must ask you for 1,000 gold this week. I know it is a lot, but Renal demands that his guilds all pitch in when the need is great. |
| 32831 I will pay. It is my duty, and I do so gladly. |
| 32832 I cannot pay just yet. Can you wait until I am able? |
| 32833 I will pay. It is my duty, and I do so gladly. |
| 32834 I cannot pay just yet. Can you wait until I am able? |
| 32835 That is quite a lot, but I will not shirk my duty. I will pay. |
| 32836 I cannot pay just yet. Can you wait until I am able? |
| 32837 That is quite a lot, but I will not shirk my duty. I will pay. |
| 32838 I cannot pay just yet. Can you wait until I am able? |
| 32839 A welcome break. I will gladly pay this small amount. |
| 32840 I cannot pay just yet. Can you wait until I am able? |
| 32841 It is a duty that I gladly perform. I will pay. |
| 32842 I cannot pay just yet. Can you wait until I am able? |
| 32843 A hard payment to swallow, but I will pay it nonetheless. |
| 32844 I cannot pay just yet. Can you wait until I am able? |
| 32845 It is a small amount to pay to support the greater guild as a whole. |
| 32846 I cannot pay just yet. Can you wait until I am able? |
| 32847 That is quite a lot, but I will pay it cheerfully. |
| 32848 I cannot pay just yet. Can you wait until I am able? |
| 32849 A pleasure doing business with you. Renal will be most pleased with your performance. I wish you well. |
| 32850 Renal will not stand for any delay. I am on a tight schedule, and you cannot interrupt it. I will give you until five days from the day I arrived. After that, I will leave and you will lose your guild charter. |
| 32851 Be aware that this will not delay my next visit at all. I return every five days. If you wait until the fifth day to pay, I will still return the next. It is to your benefit to pay me quick. |
| 32852 Sea Troll |
| 32853 Sea Troll |
| 32854 Imp |
| 32855 Imp |
| 32856 What if I am unable to get back to the guild? |
| 32857 I will pay you as soon as I can. |
| 32858 Magic Resistance Lowered by 19% |
| 32859 Ahh, you have returned. I thought you might. Are you missing the feeling of control that you had as head of your guild? I do not blame you. |
| 32860 Magic Resistance Lowered by 20% |
| 32861 Magic Resistance Lowered by 21% |
| 32862 Magic Resistance Lowered by 22% |
| 32863 Magic Resistance Lowered by 23% |
| 32864 Magic Resistance Lowered by 24% |
| 32865 Magic Resistance Lowered by 25% |
| 32866 Is there a way for me to become a guild leader again? |
| 32867 I don't mind that the guild is gone. I'm fine on my own for now. |
| 32868 I suppose I could reinstall you as head of the guild, though you would have no new resources. It would just be a matter of you paying a small fine. |
| 32869 Magic Resistance Lowered by 26% |
| 32870 Magic Resistance Lowered by 27% |
| 32871 Magic Resistance Lowered by 28% |
| 32872 Magic Resistance Lowered by 29% |
| 32873 That is no concern of ours. If you lose the guild through your negligence, you may be offered the chance to purchase your way back in. Renal will collect the fee if it comes to that. |
| 32874 It will not be small, but if you really wish to regain your place, you will have little other choice. Pay when you can, but do it soon. You will pay more to Renal later. |
| 32875 Magic Resistance Lowered by 30% |
| 32876 You cannot cast multiple instances of the same contingency spell on yourself. |
| 32877 Perception |
| 32878 Master Thievery |
| 32879 Item Dropped: Inventory Full |
| 32880 Be sure you do. If you miss a payment or take too long, you will be stripped of all power over the guild. The only way to get it back after that will be to pay a fine to Renal himself. |
| 32881 Ahh, you return. Obviously, you have come to your senses and will pay the quota that Renal is due. |
| 32882 I think 5,000 gold will suffice, don't you? It will more than make up for the payments you have missed. |
| 32883 Perhaps 4,000 gold will suffice. It will revitalize my faith in you as a provider for your guild. |
| 32884 I'll pay it. Anything to regain the status I had as a guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>. |
| 32885 I cannot afford that just yet. |
| 32886 I'll pay it. Anything to regain the status I had as a guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>. |
| 32887 I cannot afford that just yet. |
| 32888 Well, it's good to have you back with us. Consider your guild resanctioned. Go take good care of it this time. |
| 32889 Unfortunate. Perhaps you are just not guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS> material. I am sorry I couldn't help you. |
| 32890 Away with you, unclean one! Sight corrupts! |
| 32891 Get off with ye. I don't like the look of ye. <CHARNAME>'s me boss, and <PRO_HESHE>'s the one I talk to. |
| 32892 So, you be me new boss then? Fair enough. We ain't had time to talk yet, so let me tells ya something. You be square with me, and I'll be square with you. |
| 32893 I'm not stressing one bit with the current way things are handled. I think it's a bit of a waste of me talents, but who am I to say? |
| 32894 It's pretty much easy street with what you've directed me to do. No need for undue risk, though a bit more excitement is always welcome. |
| 32895 You've got me going near the end of me rope, and that's just the way I likes it. As long as I'm able, I'll keep the coin draggin' in. |
| 32896 I don't mind a bit of danger now and then, but I'm run ragged with the changes you've made. If'n you want me here and not in a body bag, I'd ask ye to ease up on the risks a bit. |
| 32897 I hate this sitting around doing nothing. C'mon, get Jariel on my back about quotas or something. Gotta get to work, work, work! |
| 32898 I gotta say, <CHARNAME>, I really appreciates you bribing me back onna street. Don't like them closed-in places one bit. You're okay in my books, you are. Keep the work up good. |
| 32899 Good to be talking to you again, boss. Keep it shipshape around here, and we'll all have the coin to rub together. |
| 32900 Give me a status report, Hanz. How do you like your current assignment? |
| 32901 How did you get into this business of yours, Hanz? |
| 32902 Been a member of the Shadow Thieves long? |
| 32903 I'll tell you straight how I'm feeling, 'cuz you look out for us all and deserve no less. |
| 32904 Aw, no big sob story from me. I like the crawling and the stealthing and the borrowing of items that shouldn't be hidden away in safes and houses. |
| 32905 I especially like taking a coin or two from a rich man's home. They don't need it anyway. Been doing this so long I can't hardly remember a time before. It's just what I'm good at. |
| 32906 Well, it's good to have you in the guild. |
| 32907 We'll see. I'll put you through your paces. |
| 32908 Long enough to know my place. You got an order, I'll follow it to the letter. Just tell Jariel, and I'll be ready and raring to go. |
| 32909 Whatever you say, boss<PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 32910 We'll be the pride o' the council, we will. |
| 32911 That's just my opinion though. You're the final word on the matter. |
| 32912 Sorry, but I don't know you from a hole in the wood. I'll speak to Guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS> <CHARNAME> and none other. |
| 32913 I am Goshan, and I am at your service. I will serve as best I can, and I will tell you when I have a problem with a task. Difficulties are best resolved out in the open. |
| 32914 Things are currently very easy for me, and I would not mind a quickening of the pace. Of course, I would be worried about risk, but I think I can bring success to any mission. |
| 32915 This is a nice pace that we've set. Not too much risk for a fine profit. Steady pacing will make us a leader among the guilds. |
| 32916 I'm cautiously worried about the current level of risk you are making me perform at. I find that I am more effective at a more relaxed pace. |
| 32917 Frankly, the pace you've set is blistering, and I'm the one that will pay the price in the end. I will do the guild no good if I am in prison or worse. |
| 32918 I do not mind the occasional restful period, but this tedium of doing nothing is unbearable. I would rather we took some risks than just sat about. |
| 32919 Your assistance in freeing me was most appreciated. Be assured that I will work all the harder for the guild. I will serve loyally and without fail. There is no other guild that compares. |
| 32920 Stranger, identify yourself before you come any closer. |
| 32921 <CHARNAME>. It appears that I am as trapped as you and your companions. |
| 32922 It is not my custom to announce myself to armed bands of warriors. |
| 32923 Unless you be evil, I assure you that you have nothing to fear of Solamnic Knights. I am Reyna, and my two companions are Onvo and Ancan. |
| 32924 Trapped indeed. I am Reyna. I and my fellow Knights of Solamnia, Onvo and Ancan, have been imprisoned in this strange dungeon for a long time. |
| 32925 A pleasure as always, <CHARNAME>. Is there anything I can do to service the guild in any way? |
| 32926 I wish a status report on how you are dealing with my decisions. |
| 32927 Assassination is a bloody business, and you seem quite calm. Does it suit you? |
| 32928 And how did you come by the Shadow Thieves? |
| 32929 As you wish. It is best that any problems are aired in the open like this. |
| 32930 It is only as bloody as you let it get. If I must wash my hands after a kill, I have been less effective than I could have. |
| 32931 Besides, I much prefer information services. Killing is a last resort once diplomacy has failed. Do not worry though. I will not hesitate in my service to the guild. |
| 32932 These are merely my observations. Guild management is, of course, your focus. I am here but to serve. |
| 32933 If'n it's all the same to you, my words are reserved for <CHARNAME> alone, 'cuz <PRO_HESHE>'s my one boss and the only one I'll take orders from. |
| 32934 A quick mind and an excellent shot have served me well. I also stay out of the public eye, unlike some of the showboats here. I am an unknown variable, and it makes me harder to corner. It will serve you well. Trust me. |
| 32935 We ain't had time to chat yet, so I'll introduce myself nice and proper. I'm Kretor, and I don't like being run ragged, thank you very much. |
| 32936 I'll offer my opinions and recommendations whether ye ask or not, and if'n they don't please, I apologize now ahead of time. |
| 32937 These slow times is good, and I ain't afraid to say so. The others might yank on your leg, saying they can't stand small risk. Liars they are, 'cuz there ain't a person alive that hates easy work. |
| 32938 Now, I know you've got a profit to make, but risking my neck with prison ain't gonna make it happen. Sure, your choices seemed safe, but who knows what can happen? |
| 32939 This job is just getting worse and worse. Ain't no way I'll outlive the tenday if you keep me at this pace. Risky as hell. Don't say you ain't been warned. |
| 32940 Y'know, I thought I'd be screamin' blue at you for risking my neck like you are, but it's kinda exciting. Ain't enough of a rush to want to keep it up though. Ease off a bit, or risk losing me. |
| 32941 Sittin' around like this is just fine by me. Ain't got a thing to do, and I'm just fine. After all, they ain't gonna send the guild quota bill to me. |
| 32942 I gotta put it to ya, you sure came through when I needed. Of course, if it weren't for you I wouldn't have been locked up in the first. Watch the risk in future; I can't take it. |
| 32943 Fine to see your face again, <CHARNAME>. What do you want of me now? |
| 32944 Give me a status report on how you think I'm doing. |
| 32945 You seem a little confrontational. I hope I can count on you to perform loyally. |
| 32946 How did you come to find yourself in the Shadow Thieves? |
| 32947 I knows my place, and I'll do my job as you say. Nothing says I gotta like it. Get on, you've got some guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS> business or some such to do. Don't waste your time talking to me. |
| 32948 People need someone to lighten their loads, and the purse is a good place to start. I do what I do, and the Shadow Thieves let me do it. Best job in town, even though it's still a job. |
| 32949 Of course, you shouldn't take anything I say about the guild all that seriously. I'd just as soon be on the street doing what I do. I'm there all the time anyway. |
| 32950 I'm dreadfully sorry, but I should only talk to <CHARNAME>. I wouldn't want to discuss the guild with anyone else. |
| 32951 Hi there! We should really get to know one another. I'm Morsa, and let me just say that it's going to be great building a guild with you. |
| 32952 I'll tell you what I think about things right now if you like, but don't let me overstep my bounds, all right? I don't want to anger the guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>, no <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 32953 Things are a little slow right now, but if you think it's best for us to conserve our skill, that's okay by me. It's all up to you. |
| 32954 I don't mind things when they are this slow. That ain't to say there's no risk to working like we are, but it's a nice comfortable pace. You're doing great. |
| 32955 Things are tough right now. Kinda hard to keep a head on your shoulders while out in the thick of it. I guess you know best though. |
| 32956 I don't like this job right now. We're running so hard I have to do things I'm not proud of. I don't like the way we're going, whether successful or not. That's just me though. You know best, I'm sure. |
| 32957 It's pretty boring just sitting around, but if you don't want me out and about, that's okay too. I've been catching up on my reading. Did you know that bats see with sound? Neat. |
| 32958 I can't thank you enough. Getting caught was terrible, but staying in prison would have been even worse. It was dirty in there. You got a friend in me, by gum! Keep up the good work and stuff. |
| 32959 Hey there, hi there. Good to see you talking to us rogues beneath you. Some guild leaders don't even bother to stay in the guild. |
| 32960 Give me a report on how you think things are shaping up around here. |
| 32961 How come you decided to get into smuggling? |
| 32962 Why are you in the Shadow Thieves? You aren't as dour as other members. |
| 32963 Just a big ol' excuse to travel. Best way to have others pay for my way. Most times it isn't so bad, and most people seem nice, like you. Aw, go on. You don't need me yappin' in your ear. |
| 32964 Oh, just because ye're up to no good doesn't mean you have to be a sourpuss. Besides, guards are expecting the hooded gloomyguss to be doing wrong. I just smile and walk by. It works. |
| 32965 Now, I'm just talking here, and like I said, I don't want to overstep my bounds. Aw, I'd better just get back to work. |
| 32966 Get lost. <CHARNAME> gets my ear and no other. |
| 32967 So you're the new head of the guild? I'll tell you right now, I preferred Mae'Var's style. He kept his friends close. You... you I don't know. Don't seem all that on the ball to me. |
| 32968 I'll tell you a few things, and if you don't like what I'm saying, I'd say that's tough. I speak my mind about what I like and what I don't. |
| 32969 I think my talents are currently wasted here. Playing it safe all around is pointless. The profits are small, and the thrills are nonexistent. Get things moving around here. |
| 32970 It's still a bit pointless to even go out on jobs with your current instructions. I cannot cut loose and bring in the big coin. I'm wasting away. |
| 32971 Now we're up to some fun, though there's more coin out there, I can smell it. We should be risking it all, instead of holding back like some common gutter trash. |
| 32972 This is where I like to be. I'm targeting the biggest fish I can find and demanding the most coin I can carry. That's living. Dangerous as Hell, but we'll all end up there eventually anyway. |
| 32973 Why did I bother to wake up this week? I can sit at home; why come here to do nothing? If we aren't daring the very edge of risk, what's the point? |
| 32974 I suppose I should thank you for getting me out of the lockup. I should, but I'll wait until I see if the guild prospers. That's all that matters. Spending gold on me is a waste. |
| 32975 What do you want now? I'm sure there is something more important for you to be doing. I certainly hope so, anyway. |
| 32976 Just give me a report on how things are going. |
| 32977 You don't like me, do you? Why not? |
| 32978 And how did you come to the Shadow Thieves? |
| 32979 I don't like your face. Isn't that enough? Talk to me when you've something useful to say. |
| 32980 That's my business. I'll do your jobs as you give them, but stay out of my personal business. |
| 32981 That's the world as I see it today. Now leave me be. I'm done with you. |
| 32982 Sorry, but I cain't talk to you no more. You ain't the guildboss now. |
| 32983 Sorry, but you've even less right to be here now that <CHARNAME> is no longer guildboss. |
| 32984 Heeeh, you ain't no more than me now. Get off with ya. You ain't the boss no more. |
| 32985 You ain't even a shadow of your friend, and <PRO_HESHE> ain't the guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS> no more, so that makes you a shadow of nothing. |
| 32986 Dreadfully sorry, but you are not my superior any more. Leave me to my thoughts. |
| 32987 I barely suffered your interruptions when your friend was guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>. Kindly leave. |
| 32988 Double shame it is. Pity this and pity that, I'm sorry you're not guildboss no more. It's just bad and stuff. |
| 32989 Sorry about your friend not being guildboss no more. It means I really can't talk to you now. |
| 32990 Hmmm, heh, you're nothing now. Get away from me. |
| 32991 Aww, no more coattails for you to ride. Get out. |
| 32992 And just who are you? Answer quick or I'll have you thrown out for disturbing the guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>. |
| 32993 Good day to you. You'll understand if I refuse to speak with you? I can discuss business only with Guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS> <CHARNAME>. |
| 32994 Ahh, the new guild leader! I trust you will find the facilities to your liking? |
| 32995 I'm sure I will. Who are you, and why are you in my guild? |
| 32996 Thank you for the welcome. And you are...? |
| 32997 A fair question. I am Lathan, and I will be your eyes and ears when there is a matter that requires your personal attention. |
| 32998 You are new, so there is little on the agenda just yet. I will try to inform you when something comes up. |
| 32999 Nothing to report just yet. |
| 33000 I think you will find that something has indeed "come up." |
| 33001 My name is Ama, and I am Shadowmaster of eastern Esmeltaran. Here is my signet; I think you'll find it authentic. Now stand aside! |
| 33002 What? Ah... yes, m'lady Ama. I meant no offense. Ah, <CHARNAME>, I would suggest you obey proper protocol and present your dagger before your better. |
| 33003 Now, now, no need for such displays. I am here to ask a favor, after all. |
| 33004 What is it you would ask of me? |
| 33005 Why are you so far afield of your home city? |
| 33006 What do you want of my guild? I will not risk it on foolish endeavors. |
| 33007 Nothing terribly inconveniencing. I would like you to participate in a little rendezvous and help in the removal of a pest. |
| 33008 There is a government official causing us no end of trouble with his tariffs and spot checks on caravans. This fool thinks he can stifle the thieving trade of an entire city. |
| 33009 He has been trying to muscle into a relationship with the Shadow Thieves, and while we could pay, it is better that we send a message to any of his cohorts. |
| 33010 I have come here with a promise of granting his wishes, but I only want to lure him away from his palisade defenses. This is where you come in. |
| 33011 I have come to try and end the meddling of a politician that has grown too big for himself. |
| 33012 This is not foolish; it is important Shadow Thief business. Best you listen and listen good. |
| 33013 Speak what you need. I am listening. |
| 33014 I will be no decoy. What is it you are asking? |
| 33015 He wishes to be introduced to a contact here in the city, and that contact will be you. The meeting is already set up, and when he arrives, we will take him by surprise. |
| 33016 You are known somewhat in this place, if not as a guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>. He will believe you are a legitimate contact. He seems willing to believe anything, so long as it is theatrical. |
| 33017 Should I not have heard of this through Renal? He is my superior. |
| 33018 I will help. When is this meeting to take place? |
| 33019 I cannot spare the time for this right now. |
| 33020 You will come to learn that you have many superiors in the Shadow Thieves. Disobey any of them at your peril. You would not want to be thought a traitor... like Mae'Var. |
| 33021 All right, I will help as best I can. When is the meeting to take place? |
| 33022 I do not have time for this right now. |
| 33023 It will be any evening that is best for you. I will await you in Waukeen's Promenade after dark and then dispense a runner to get Sir Greshal. The suddenness will seem dramatic to him. |
| 33024 Then come another night. I will wait in Waukeen's Promenade after dark and dispense a runner when you do come. Sir Greshal will think it dramatic. |
| 33025 Do not disappoint in this matter. It is of the utmost importance. |
| 33026 You must be so proud, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Already you have been singled out for service to the greater guild. I suggest you do not be late. |
| 33027 Do not be late for your meeting, <CHARNAME>. Miss Ama will be awaiting the closure of her trap. |
| 33028 Sorry about letting in that Ama lady, boss. She just barged right past, and I didn't want to bounce her because of that signet she was carrying. |
| 33029 Funny thing is, I got a brother out in Esmeltaran that smuggles the odd turnip, and he never mentioned any Shadowmaster named Ama. Ain't the thing you talk about in public, I guess. |
| 33030 You are here. Good. I saw you approach and have given the signal. Wait here and Sir Greshal will arrive shortly. |
| 33031 Get off, I'm waiting for <CHARNAME>. |
| 33032 Er, he is probably going to be nervous, so I would suggest keeping any weapons out of sight. A backpack will do. Best to appear harmless. |
| 33033 Just wait a little longer. I'm sure he'll be here soon. He'll want us in full view and unarmed. |
| 33034 Ahh, here he comes now. |
| 33035 Now, everything is in place! Strike at <CHARNAME>! |
| 33036 What?! What is the meaning of this?! |
| 33037 I knew something was up! What in the Hells is going on here?! |
| 33038 In Mae'Var's name, he strikes at you from beyond the grave through us! Vengeance will be served upon his killers! |
| 33039 You have fallen for the trap, taken the bait. Now you are vulnerable, and my assassins are in place! Let the Night Knives take you! |
| 33040 Hey there, <CHARNAME>, I heard about your dust-up in the promenade. Nice work. I knew something was up. |
| 33041 Er, hello. I... I had you followed and... and I'm awfully sorry about the mess with that Ama person. My informant tells me her cohorts wore the insignia of the Night Knives. |
| 33042 She must have fashioned her fake signet, or perhaps I just didn't look closely enough. I am very sorry, and I am glad to see you well. |
| 33043 How long have you been trapped here? |
| 33044 I have no time to talk now. |
| 33045 Fare thee well. |
| 33046 What is a Solamnic Knight? |
| 33047 A pleasure to meet you, but my travels are taking me elsewhere. So long. |
| 33048 Time flows strangely in this haunted land. It seems like decades, but it may only be weeks for all I know. |
| 33049 We are the knights of honor and good upon Ansalon, a world so far removed from this one. |
| 33050 I care little about your problems. So long. |
| 33051 Knights of Solamnia? |
| 33052 If I find a way out of this place, I'll be sure to return for you, but for now, I must be on my way. |
| 33053 I must be on my way. So long. |
| 33054 Have you any advice to help me survive this strange dungeon? |
| 33055 I'm tired of honor and goodnessâ€â€get out of my face! |
| 33056 Are there any traps up ahead that I should be wary of? |
| 33057 I wish you well, but now I must be on my way. |
| 33058 My honor is not so easily offended as you might think. Had it been, you would be lying dead at my feet. Goodbye. |
| 33059 Traps? No, but in the dark rooms of this place, I have witnessed horrors. These terrors I am loath to discuss, but if it helps your cause, then I shall. |
| 33060 When we first arrived here, my fellow Knights and I thought to explore our new surroundings. I wish we hadn't. |
| 33061 To the west, we were ambushed by small creatures, children in size but not in appetite. We were hard-pressed to battle our way out of the trap. |
| 33062 Perhaps they were halflings? |
| 33063 I need hear no more, I must be on my way. |
| 33064 Halflings? Do "halflings" seek to rip and rend the flesh from your body, to swallow your flesh and suck the marrow from your bones? If so, then halflings they may be. |
| 33065 You must be careful if you encounter them. They are crafty and a worthy foe of any Knight. Fare thee well. |
| 33066 Is this place not frightening but wondrous at the same time? By my Oath, I have never been to such an interesting domain. |
| 33067 Excuse my rudeness, I am Onvo, Knight of the Sword. We are far from my homeland, trapped here much as you, I suspect. |
| 33068 Where might your homeland be? |
| 33069 Of the wonders you have seen, what has most bewitched you? |
| 33070 Knight of the Sword? |
| 33071 I hail from Ansalon, but I fear I will never see my beloved land again. I am in a place that exists neither here nor there. At least there is much to see, but I long for home. |
| 33072 Trapped? |
| 33073 Past the bone room, you will find a chamber full of magical equipment. There is one large tube holding a damaged golem that is missing its head and arm. Whoever sought to repair it was interrupted in his work. |
| 33074 That magician's study reminds me of my brother Elic's room, back when he studied to become a wizard. That room, so alien yet so familiar, stirs me the most. That said, there was a presence there that... that worried me. I did not scout further than that room. |
| 33075 I am a Knight of Solamnia. There are three Orders of Solamnic Knights: Crown, Sword, and Rose. Reyna is a Knight of the Crown, and Ancan is a Knight of the Rose. |
| 33076 My fellow Knights and I searched most of this place, but we could not find any exits. |
| 33077 I plan to escape these twisted corridors. |
| 33078 I must be going now. |
| 33079 Thank you for the lesson, Onvo, but I must be going. |
| 33080 Good luck to you, I shall be on my way now. |
| 33081 That sounds interesting. Perhaps I might explore that way. |
| 33082 Ha! Coward. I will explore those rooms that frightened you so. |
| 33083 Thanks for your time. Goodbye. |
| 33084 Fare thee well. |
| 33085 I wish you well. I hope you think to help us from our imprisonment as well, if you do escape. Goodbye. |
| 33086 A coward I am not. Remove yourself from my sight, or draw your weapons now and be done with it. |
| 33087 Greetings again. What do you need? |
| 33088 Nothing, goodbye. |
| 33089 Did you discover anything interesting? |
| 33090 Greetings once more. It appears that the cannibalistic children have yet to make a meal of you. This is good. |
| 33091 Goodbye, I don't have time to talk. |
| 33092 Cannibalistic children? |
| 33093 tutorial |
| 33094 Strangers be wary. This twisted hell shows no mercy to the weak of spirit. I am Ancan, Knight of the Rose. |
| 33095 Do not worry, for I am certain that nothing here need worry me. |
| 33096 I appreciate your concern, but I'll be going now. |
| 33097 Do not worry about my spirit. I am more than capable of handling whatever dangers may be held within these walls. |
| 33098 Est Sularus Oth Mithas |
| 33099 Your bravery is commendable, but the wiser <PRO_MANWOMAN> often lives long past <PRO_HISHER> more foolhardy comrades. May I offer you a little advice? |
| 33100 I think not. So long. |
| 33101 You've returned, and in one piece I see. What do you need of me? |
| 33102 I always welcome advice. |
| 33103 I've never listened to advice before. Why would I start now? |
| 33104 Directly north, you will find a room. Within its walls is an oceanic nightmare. Fish that walk as men live there. Be wary if you walk that way. |
| 33105 Thank you for your advice. So long. |
| 33106 Anything else? |
| 33107 Wisdom I hold much of, but I suspect you would rather not sit here for hours listening to my lectures. You are young and have an adventurer's fire in your veins. You are not yet ready for true wisdom. |
| 33108 What does "Est Sularus Oth Mithas" mean? |
| 33109 Nothing. So long. |
| 33110 It means "My Honor is My Life" and is an oath that we Knights live with every day of our lives. You would be wise to embrace it yourself. Take care. |
| 33111 You have crossed into the wrong territory. I am starving, and I must eat. Please die quietly, I hate it when my meals make a fuss. |
| 33112 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude. I'll just be leaving now. Bye. |
| 33113 Actually, I don't think I'd be much of a meal. |
| 33114 Maybe it'll be me who's eating you. |
| 33115 There is nowhere to run to now, my prey. |
| 33116 I'm sure you'll do fine. I'm so hungry I could eat a tasty <RACE>. Ha ha. |
| 33117 Think again. I'll have digested your heart by day's end. |
| 33118 Perfect. I have longed for a fresh meal, and I am delivered. You have walked into my arms. Necre sees that you are ready to fill his stomach. |
| 33119 I ain't ready for nothing other than bashing your ugly head in. |
| 33120 Didn't your mother ever tell you not to talk to strangers? |
| 33121 My mother taught me how to eat strangers. Want to see what I learned? |
| 33122 I really must be going. I have no desire to kill you, but I will if I must. |
| 33123 Necre thinks you will be the one with the bashed-in head, for how else will I suck the sweet brains from your skull? |
| 33124 I have no desire to kill you either. However, I must eat, and I'm sure you'd rather be dead before I make a meal of you. |

| 33151 Very well. My minions and I shall rend you limb from limb. |
| 33152 So it is my heart that you want? Hmmm. This shall prove very interesting, I think. |
| 33153 It is an item of such destructive power that the gods themselves determined it should not be used again. It was split in two, and this half was secreted here. |

| 33176 Hail! Are you one that would serve alongside the guardians of Helm? I can tell that you are of a like mind with many that follow the Vigilant One. |
| 33177 Tell me what it is that you require. |
| 33178 I do not have time for a new task just yet. Perhaps later. |
| 33179 It is a complicated matter, so I trust you will bear with me in the telling. |
| 33180 You appear as one that might serve beneath the Morninglord. It must be, for you carry the light of goodness within you. Will you help me with a dire problem? |
| 33181 What is it that you require? |
| 33182 I cannot spare the time just now. |
| 33183 You. You carry the darkness of chaos within you, and it is pleasing to the sight of Talos. Will you serve the Stormlord in a matter of importance? |
| 33184 Tell me what it is that you require. |
| 33185 I will return when I have time to aid you. |
| 33186 I sense that you are not the true voice for your group. Matters I speak of are for leaders to hear. |
| 33187 The light shines, and I see that you are not the true leader of your group. If you will, I must speak my matters to <PRO_HESHE> that you follow. |
| 33188 I speak not to subordinates! I can tell by your manner that you are one that follows! I would speak to your leader! My matters are for <PRO_HISHER> ears alone! |
| 33189 Don't listen to Kaatje... she's always full of stories, she is. |
| 33190 I heard that that ranger woman, Merella, is a vampire. She's gone an' started prowlin' the night, stealin' bodies! |
| 33191 I've had four friends up an' disappear in the last few months. I wonder if I'll see them again? |
| 33192 I wanna go back to the fields. I don't like it here. |
| 33193 Hullo, <SIRMAAM>... |
| 33194 Who might you be? |
| 33195 Do you know anything about the killings around the village? |
| 33196 Goodbye. |
| 33197 My name's Kaatje... I came here with me ma and pa to flee the bad people who are killing everybody. When I grow up, though, I'm gonna be a mighty warrior an' leave this place for good. |
| 33198 What do you know about these bad people? |
| 33199 Goodbye. |
| 33200 Ma and Pa says I'm just tellin' stories, but I'm not! It's true, an' I really saw it! |
| 33201 I was bringing the cows home a couple o' weeks ago, but I was bringin' them through the path in the woods because it's faster... even though Ma doesn't like it when I goes through there. |
| 33202 But I passes by the ranger's cabin... Merella's always been real nice to me. She gives me candies that she says she makes out of tree sap, and she took me fishing once, too. |
| 33203 When I passed by it, though, I saw this big black shadow comin' out of her cabin. An' it was leaving a big trail of red stuff, which looked like blood. |
| 33204 It was so big an' scary... it looked like a wolf-monster. I was so scared for Merella, so I went an' told me ma and pa... but they didn't believe me an' told me to stop tellin' stories. |
| 33205 But it really is true, <SIRMAAM>... honest. If you went to the cabin, I bet you'd find something. |
| 33206 O-okay... 'bye. |
| 33207 Hold! Youse not of human village! Why you come? What youse wanting? |
| 33208 I want to know why you're killing people of the village! |
| 33209 Who are you, and what are you doing here? |
| 33210 I'm here to exterminate you and your band! |
| 33211 It is, me <LADYLORD>... 'tis something I thought ye'd have put together yeself. The Shadow Thieves work in secret, ye understand... 'tis nothing personal. |
| 33212 Haaaaaa... it... it cannot be! Have... the cowled ones... come for me...? Have I been... found out... after so long? |
| 33213 Cowled ones? What are you talking about? |
| 33214 I am no Cowled Wizard, if that is what you are concerned about. |
| 33215 That is correct! You have been found out! |
| 33216 Hmm... excuse me, maybe I should be going now. |

| 33219 I... I escaped to this place... fled with my pupils... before the Cowled Ones could take me... prisoner. We... we took what books we could. |

| 33221 Finally, I have created a guardian golem that is specially suited for the challenging task of cleansing my sphere of planar creatures. It is exceedingly efficient in combat, having just recently destroyed a score of dretch and chasme demons, though it was damaged in the encounter. These notes will serve as a reminder to me on the proper method of constructing the golem should it be destroyed. Note to self: Avoid engaging other planar creatures. The exercise is quite difficult and better left to the golem. A standard golem requires two legs, two arms, and a head. Be wary that some denizen of the sphere does not steal any of my spare golem pieces. It would be frustrating to have to actually track down the pieces myself. The most difficult task comes after the pieces are assembled in the workroom. To activate the golem, you must...

| 33222 I am not hunting for the Cowled Wizards, and I mean you no harm, lich. |
| 33223 No, I am no hunter for the Cowled Wizards! |
| 33224 You're a lich! Why should I not destroy you?! |
| 33225 Golem Head |
| 33226 I'll destroy you if I don't get what I want, lich. |
| 33227 Golem Head |
| 33228 You... you are not of the Cowled Ones? That is... that is good. They... found me out... my pupils and I... practicing the arts... without their permission. We... we fled... so long ago... |

| 33235 What is your purpose here? What branch of the government are you with? |
| 33236 We no kill no humans in village! We no want trouble with youse! |

| 33243 No, I don't think they remember you any longer. |
| 33244 Yes, I am sure they still hunt you. |

| 33248 No one said that demon hearts were supposed to be pretty, but you certainly weren't expecting this mushy, fleshy bag of vileness. Heavy and wet, the organ still beats, and even though it is stuffed away with your belongings, you hear the dreadful thub-dub. Every now and then you must check to make sure it has not bounced free of your pack. STATISTICS: Weight: 25 |
| 33249 I... I have been forgotten? The name of... Nevaziah... Keeper of Wisdom... has been lost to the sands of time? It... it is as if I have been... in a dream... |

| 33251 Thank you... for opening my eyes. The Keepers never came... to collect the wisdom... my pupils and I... have saved. They... they are long dead. |

| 33253 Planar Key |
| 33254 And... so, too... must the wisdom be destroyed. Tell me, then... why have you come? What... what is it that... you have come to this place for? |
| 33255 The memories... of the Cowled Ones... has always been long. But... but how long? I have... hidden in darkness... for years upon countless years, I think. And... and no one has come... |
| 33256 Enough of this banal prattle! I wish the Nether Scroll, you senile lich! If you cannot profit from its power, then I shall! Give it to me at once! |
| 33257 The... Nether Scroll? I... I have this... most sacred scroll... here with me. It is... most dangerous wisdom. Others must be... protected from it... lest they be destroyed. |
| 33258 I... I have used its power... sparingly... but... perhaps not sparingly enough. What... what makes you think... wizard... that you are strong enough for it? It... it must be destroyed... with the other knowledge... |
| 33259 No! NO! I will not allow you to destroy such an invaluable artifact! You are a fool, lich! And I will have the scroll if I must destroy you first! |
| 33260 It is... it is you who... are the fool... wizard! I... I am the Keeper of Wisdom... and I say... you shall not have it! |
| 33261 I wish th' Book of Kaza, ye undead horror. Where have ye secreted it? |
| 33262 The Book of... Kaza? Yes... yes, I remember... this wisdom. One of... my pupils... has it nearby. |
| 33263 Is... is he dead? I... remember an accident... with fire. I... remember wrapping him in many... bandages... and I used power to... to restore him. I... I believe so... |
| 33264 Go... go to my pupil... in the chamber nearby. He... he has your Book of Kaza. Take... take the wisdom from this place... and the rest... the rest shall be destroyed... |
| 33265 If it is... treasure... that you seek... then do so quickly. My pupils... and I... will leave this world... a final time... very shortly. Treat what... wisdom... remains behind... with great care. |
| 33266 My... my thanks... to you. My... long... long... wait is... over... |
| 33267 Haaaa... are you... are you one of my pupils? Come to... speak to me... after so long? No... no... I see that you... are not. |
| 33268 Are you... the Cowled Ones, then? Have you... finally found me... after so many long, long... years... centuries... of hunting? Have you... come to destroy me? |
| 33269 The Cowled Ones? What are you talking about? |
| 33270 I am no Cowled Wizard, if that is what you are concerned about. |
| 33271 I am no Cowled Wizard, if that is what you are concerned about. |
| 33272 That is correct! You have been found out! |
| 33273 Um... perhaps I'll just be going again. |
| 33274 If it is any of your concern, I am saddled with clerical upkeep of mystical regulation. Magic is restricted in this land, and rightfully so. Mages are dangerous deviants. |
| 33275 Have you any knowledge of those taken by the Cowled Wizards? |
| 33276 Do you know anything of a group of wizards in green and black? |
| 33277 How do I know you're telling the truth? |
| 33278 You're lying! |
| 33279 Me Madulf... lead fellows from great army of Sythillis in the south. No want to kill races no more. Lead fellows in desertion. We just wants be left alone. |
| 33280 What about what I have heard about your fellows being responsible for killing people in Imnesvale? |
| 33281 You're deserters from the Sythillisian Empire? How do you expect to live up here? |
| 33282 Well, that's tough... because I'm going to put an end to your evil existence! |
| 33283 I'll be going, then. |
| 33284 Nothing... I'll be on my way, I suppose. |
| 33285 Always we be chased! No more! Attack <PRO_RACE>! KILL! |
| 33286 Wait... you not attack us. We needs you bring word to human village... humans run when Madulf goes, so me needs youse to do it for me. Youse bring word, yes? |
| 33287 What kind of word do you need brought to them? |
| 33288 No, I'm not interested in working for you. Sorry. |
| 33289 We are ready, Ama. |
| 33290 Always Madulf and fellows be chased and hated 'cause me an ogre! We just wants to be left alone. We come here one moon ago, tries to settle for a while, yes? |

| 33297 Soon after we come, fellows begin to vanish. One, two, they go. Some turn up killed... skin missing. Some bodies vanish, too. Madulf no know who killing us. |
| 33298 Madulf worried... numbers get smaller. We like here, but something bad is here too, killing us fellows. Very bad. |
| 33299 I don't believe you! Time to face your punishment! |
| 33300 Something's killing your people too? What do you think it is? |
| 33301 Well, it's obvious you're not responsible for the deaths in the village. I'll be going, then. |
| 33302 Is very hard. Humans hates us, and we just wants to be left alone. Some humans call knights, who chase us... not bad here, but Madulf thinks village will call knights soon. Humans very mad. |
| 33303 Of course they have a right to be mad if you're killing them! |
| 33304 Why should the village allow you to remain? |
| 33305 Well, I may not be a knight... but I'll end your evil existence just as quickly! |
| 33306 I see... well, I'll be going, then. |
| 33307 Madulf no want death... Madulf no want fight. Just want peace. You tell villagers, maybe, that Madulf and fellows will protect village... protect from orcs in mountains, yes? |
| 33308 Humans let us stay then, and no call knights. Maybe let us come, once in a moon, to trade for food and goods. Madulf make deal with village, if youse tell them... we no want trouble. |
| 33309 I'm not about to bring to broker a deal of any kind! Forget it! |
| 33310 All right, I'll tell the mayor what you've said. But I can't promise anything. |
| 33311 Is too bad then. Soon, humans will call knights and Madulf be forced to go elsewhere. Youse change mind, youse come back to Madulf, okay? |
| 33312 But youse can go... Madulf and fellows no want trouble. No fighting youse. |
| 33313 Madulf no knows. Maybe wolves. Maybe bad magics. Nobody see what kills fellows. Comes at night, though... maybe is the shadows. |
| 33314 I don't believe your half-cocked story. Time to die, ogre! |
| 33315 I see. So your band is no better off than the village. I'll be going, then. |
| 33316 Madulf and fellows like here. But something bad killing fellows. Lose one, two maybe, at a time. Disappear, bodies too. Very bad... Madulf very worried. |
| 33317 Madulf happy. Maybe fellows can live alone and eat good, be happy here. You do good thing... maybe humans agree. Madulf keep deal, you tell them. |
| 33318 Nether Scroll |
| 33319 Huh. Is you again, <RACE>. Madulf still want youse to bring word to humans in village, yes? Maybe youse changing mind? |
| 33320 Nether Scroll |
| 33321 What is it, exactly, that you want me to tell them? |
| 33322 Very well, Madulf... I will bring your proposal to the mayor. |
| 33323 Forget it... I haven't changed my mind. |
| 33324 I've actually decided to end your monstrous existence, creature! |
| 33325 Nevaziah |
| 33326 Nevaziah |
| 33327 Is good to see again, <RACE>. You bring word to human village, yes? |
| 33328 Not yet, but I intend to. |
| 33329 No, and I have decided that I will not. |
| 33330 Actually, I have decided to end your sorry existence... humans will never live with your kind! |
| 33331 Is good. Madulf thinks maybe he and fellows can stay... live in peace, maybe. If humans not hunt us down, that is. We protect... we keep word. |
| 33332 Madulf not happy. We keep word, <PRO_RACE>; why you decide not to tell village? Madulf cannot tell village himself... they run away in fear. Will just bring knights soon. |
| 33333 You change mind, come speak to Madulf again. Madulf and fellows willing to protect village from orcs in mountains, if they want. We do that, and trade. You come again. |
| 33334 Amaunator be blessed! After so long, finally we have visitors from the sun-caressed world! Please, good <PRO_MANWOMAN>... we beg you for aid! We plead to you in the name of the light! |
| 33335 Too... weak... I feel the curse within... Damn you, Ployer! I'll be cured yet... |
| 33336 I do not believe you, spirits! I will destroy you! |
| 33337 Madulf pleased to see you, <PRO_RACE>. Human village send messageâ€â€we speak soon and trade. Madulf and fellows protect village; they like. |
| 33338 How can I aid one who is already dead? |
| 33339 Begone, spirit. I do not converse with the dead. |
| 33340 Madulf and fellows owe you much... we can stay and be left alone here. Is good. Here... have shield to give you... is magic, from Sythillis's army... we no use. Maybe you like. |

| 33347 Your history is nearly as unknown as your future, and the things that are certain seem more fancy than fact. As unlikely as it may seem, you have the blood of a deity coursing through your veins. You are a product of the Time of Troubles, a cataclysmic period when the gods were made flesh and forced to walk the earth among their followers. One such deity foresaw both the event and his inevitable death because of it, and so took steps to effect his resurrection. This god strode the land before he was made to, and in his wake left a score of mortal progeny driven to conquer and rule. They were not intended to be his successors, but rather the fuel for his rebirth. Heroes would rise to counter these tyrants, and when their evil fell, it would fall to the father. The god was Bhaal, Lord of Murder, and you are one of his children. You were cared for as a child by Gorion, a powerful wizard that may have had even more powerful friends. It was his influence that allowed you to spend your youth in the library fortress of Candlekeep, where the resident monks schooled you in your skills. Children were an oddity at the keep, though you did have a friend in Imoen. She seemed a kindred spirit, though you knew no more of her background than your own. Gorion never explained how you or she came to be there, or why you needed such a secluded home. It was only after his death that you learned the truth about your bloodline, when you were forced into conflict with his killer, another child of Bhaal. Sarevok was this sibling's name, and he had embraced his foul origins, determined to exploit them and become the next Lord of Murder. He sought to create death on a massive scale, a war of sacrifice that would prove his claim to his father's throne. You unraveled his carefully wrought plans, and ultimately it was you that took his life, sending his taint back to Bhaal. A victory of sorts... Now you face an uncertain future. A child of murder, you have a lineage that will tempt the ignorant to fear you and the unscrupulous to use you. And always the essence of Bhaal is within, exerting its dark pull when you are weakest. Which is the greater fear: Losing your life to fuel the fire, or losing your will and becoming it? |

So too have scoundrels and bandits been attracted to the area, and they prey mercilessly upon us. I have found an excellent hiding place for my mithral cache, one which even those thieves will never be able to locate.

Malign the Ritual at thy peril. Perform it only as I have written. (The first part of the ritual is smudged out.

Do this that I should allow the Sun to rise again. Malign the Ritual if thou would live forever in darkness. Perform it only as I have written. 1) Recite the Tenets of the Faith. They shall give you strength until I come again. 2) Hold high your children that they may longer see the Sun before it slips beyond this realm. The Sun shall give them courage against the fears of the Night. (The third part of the ritual has been torn away. Perhaps you could deduce the action required from the morning and noon rituals.) |

| 33394 I want t' be a great warrior like me dad! |
| 33395 I knows we can! But... everyone says we're all too young an' all. |
| 33396 Bull! That's wot I says t' that! |
| 33397 Since... since you're already an adventurer an' all, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, I was hopin'... I was hopin' you might maybe... maybe buy some swords for us? Some bastard swords? |
| 33398 And some ale, Dirbert! Don't forget the ale! |
| 33399 Yeah, we wants t' be real men! |
| 33400 Er... swords and some ale, then. If... if we give you th' money, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, would you buy us some? |
| 33401 How amusing that you petty fleshlings would dare disturb the slumber of the shadow dragon? Are you daft? Blind? Whatever, I shall tear your bodies apart and feast on your innards while you whimper and cry for mercy. |
| 33402 Who am I to deny the young? I'll get you your swords and ale, if that's what you wish. |
| 33403 I'll get you your swords... but no ale. You've barely fuzz on your chins. |
| 33404 I'll buy you ale, boys... but you'd just cut yourselves with a sword in your hands. |
| 33405 Forget it, boys. I've got better things to do. |
| 33406 Merciful beings of light! I offer you a simple exchange. Information on what you seek in exchange for my freedom. |
| 33407 Great! Gee, thanks, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! You're the greatest! Here... here's the gold we've saved. Get us three bastard swords, I guess, and a keg of Baalor Ale from Min Minling. |
| 33408 Yay! I'm so excited! |
| 33409 O-okay... with three bastard swords, we could at least become adventurers! Here's some of the gold we've saved up. Thanks, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! You're the greatest! |

| 33413 I think not. |
| 33414 Why should I trust you? |
| 33415 No, we wouldn't! We know how to use swords! But... but if you'd buy us some ale, that'd be super. Here's some gold we've saved up for it... |
| 33416 Thank you! You will not be disappointed. I shall ride within your shadow. Take me across the tiles, and I will tell you what I know. |
| 33417 On second thought, I don't think it wise to release you. You were imprisoned here for a reason. |
| 33418 Aw, this bites! I wanted a sword! |
| 33419 But your ma'd sure be mad if ya hacked off an arm. Me, I want the ale. |
| 33420 Sissy! |

| 33434 Yeah! Pleeeeaaaassse? |
| 33435 Come on! Have pity on us! |
| 33436 Very well. I will get you some ale and swords. |

| 33448 We want our money back then, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! |
| 33449 Forget it. Consider it a lesson learned. |
| 33450 Fine. Here's your money. I've got better things to do. |
| 33451 Better get lost, brats, before I slice you open a new mouth to whine with! |
| 33452 Fine. Here's your money. I've got better things to do. |
| 33453 Kobold! Thief! |
| 33454 Let's go. This bites! |
| 33455 But I really, really wanted to be an adventurer... |
| 33456 Well, at least we got our money back. Let's go! |
| 33457 So... have you got our stuff? |
| 33458 Yes, I got your keg of ale and your swords here. |
| 33459 Yes, I got your swords here. |
| 33460 Yes, I got a keg of ale for you here. |
| 33461 Well, I got your swords. That's going to be it, though. |
| 33462 Well, I got your ale. That's going to be it, though. |
| 33463 Yeah, I got your swords... and some ale for you, too. |
| 33464 Well, I didn't get your swords... but I did buy you some ale. |
| 33465 Answer my words, and you shall receive what all seek. Are you ready for the test? |
| 33466 Yes, I got your ale... and I got you some bastard swords as well. |
| 33467 No one said anything about a test! |
| 33468 Return when the wisdom of Amaunator has filled you with its grace and beauty as the light fills you with warmth and health. |
| 33469 Well, I didn't get your ale... but I did get you some swords. |
| 33470 I am ready. |
| 33471 No, but I will soon. |
| 33472 I've changed my mind. You're too young for any of this stuff. |
| 33473 Shadows die when touched by... |
| 33474 Light, of course. |
| 33475 I'm fairly certain that ghouls can kill shadows. |
| 33476 The magic of a mighty mage. |
| 33477 Very good. Now, the second question. This temple holds... |
| 33478 Priests. |
| 33479 Shadow mages. |
| 33480 Baalor ale and our bastard swords! Wow! You are the best, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! Thanks! |
| 33481 Drunken sailors. |
| 33482 Dibs on the ale! |
| 33483 I want to hold my sword! |
| 33484 Let's go! Woohoo! |
| 33485 Are you ready to try the test of knowledge once more? |
| 33486 Our swords! Wow! You're the best, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! |
| 33487 I want my sword now! I want to hold it! |
| 33488 Let's go! For adventure! |
| 33489 True. Now for the third question. |
| 33490 Ale! Baalor Ale! Wow, you're the greatest, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! |
| 33491 How many questions are you going to ask me? |
| 33492 Yay! Let's go drink it now! |
| 33493 Go on, let's get this over with. |
| 33494 I know a place! Come on! |
| 33495 Three. This will be the last one. |
| 33496 Lightstone, Dawn's Light, and Sun Rays are all example of what? |
| 33497 Magical tomes. |
| 33498 Holy symbols. |
| 33499 Types of light. |
| 33500 No, I am not wise yet. |
| 33501 Yes. |
| 33502 So very close, but at the same time so very far away. Return when you have the answers to my words. |
| 33503 Amaunator's wisdom has surely touched you. Take this holy symbol with you and use it well to guide you through the temple. |
| 33504 All right... I guess we'll wait a bit longer for it. We're mighty anxious to start our adventurin', though. |
| 33505 Man-things! Curse you, and curse the world! Can a wolf not enjoy her last meal in peace? |
| 33506 We've come to put an end to the evil of you and your wolves! You've preyed on your last innocent! |
| 33507 Aw, couldn't you just even consider buyin' us somethin'? Our parents won't let us do nothin'! |
| 33508 You disgusting fiend. Make your peace with the world, for soon you shall die! |
| 33509 This sucks! You're an adventurer. Why can't we be one, too? |
| 33510 My wolves? Hah! No longer, fool. The pack has fallen under the fell magics of the Shade Lord. Your hunting has gone awry. |
| 33511 We find Mister Ployer distasteful, even in comparison to others of his ilk. It would not disturb us to... make other arrangements around that task in the future. |
| 33512 Nara |
| 33513 You suggest that this "Shade Lord" is responsible, yet here you gnaw on the carcass of a human? Why would I believe such idiocy? |
| 33514 Ooooh, I'm so excited! Ask <PRO_HIMHER>, Dirbert, ask <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 33515 Maybe so. But the villagers have spoken of a werewolf that leads her pack to murder innocent families. You must not live. |
| 33516 Explain yourself. Who is this Shade Lord, and what has he done to your pack? |
| 33517 I don't care what you believe. I speak the truth. |
| 33518 This place was not always like this... floating in a false and unholy darkness. It began only a short time ago. |
| 33519 I've hidden these last few weeks from the shades that once were wolves and from the darkness that creeps out from the temple that once imprisoned the Shade Lord. |
| 33520 You are able to reconstruct the burial mask, having found all six of the pieces. |
| 33521 I will hide no more. This man I killed only to gather strength to face the Shade Lord. He wants only to kill and those he kills, be they man-thing or wolf, arise as shades in his army. |
| 33522 YAAAAAA *hic* AAAAH! Run from the *hic* dragon! |
| 33523 Will you allow me this revenge, or do I have to fight you as well? |
| 33524 No, we will not. Your evil days will end right here and now. |
| 33525 If you wish to attempt to kill the Shade Lord, I will not stop you. |
| 33526 RUN BEFORE IT *hic* KILLS US ALL! |
| 33527 This fountain is filled with a dark, thick liquid that reeks of death and decay. |
| 33528 I... I don't *hic* feeelll welll... |
| 33529 Hee hee hehehehehe hehehe HEEHEE! |
| 33530 So be it. I expected no understanding from cattle like you. |
| 33531 ...Ize being *hic* sooooo glahd ti seeze ye... *hic* yooze soooo neyce ti usssz beyssz... *hic* |
| 33532 Meet me in the temple to the east of this den. Be wary of the shadows that lurk there. Make sure you are prepared before you enter it. |
| 33533 Empty threats. I go willingly to my doom. I wish only to avenge my fate and that of my pack by destroying the Shade Lord. |
| 33534 AAAAHH! What... what IS that?! |
| 33535 Lies will not spare your life. I know you and your wolves are behind the horror that stalks these hills. |
| 33536 Explain yourself. Who is this Shade Lord? What has he done with your pack? |
| 33537 It's some kind of monster! |
| 33538 L-let's get out of here! |
| 33539 Adventuring isn't as fun as we thought! Run, run! |
| 33540 Only those that are distasteful. For not participating in Ployer's little exercise, we might charge... oh... 1,000 gold pieces. |
| 33541 For not participating in Ployer's little exercise, we might charge... oh... 1,000 gold pieces. This is a much lower figure than the original service cost. |
| 33542 Pleeze, mercy on us! Me sorry. Don't kill. Me just following orders. Didn't want to eat children or kick old people. Just job! |
| 33543 Foul orc! You will suffer the same fate as all your kind! |
| 33544 Flee from here, foul creature, and never harm another! |
| 33545 Tank yous, tank yous. I promising, no more killings here. Not as job, anyway. Maybe hobby. That okay, I think. |
| 33546 No kill, no kill! |
| 33547 Fine, we'll just drag you into another room and kill you. |
| 33548 Oh, don't beg. Begging just makes me ill. |
| 33549 And why, pitiful creature, should I let you live? |
| 33550 I tell you secrets! Things about place you not know! You get good secret here, I tell you! |
| 33551 I beg! I beg! Let me go live! |
| 33552 Fine! Just get out of my sight! Worthless wretch! |
| 33553 Words no hurt. I just scared of you sticks and stones. I run go now. |
| 33554 I defy you to give me a reason why I should let you live! |
| 33555 No one lives when <GABBER> goes orc-stomping! |
| 33556 Firkraag run the place! He hidey-hide in special place with Garren child. He wait in dere for yous to comes. |
| 33557 Then cease your whining and speak! |
| 33558 You have nothing I wish to know! Die as you should! |
| 33559 You! You will please help? We are lost in this place, adventurers like you! We have been trapped here for days upon days and need a healer's touch most immediately! Come! Come this way! |
| 33560 You have wounded? I will help them as best I can. Lead on! |
| 33561 Adventurers like me? I am here for a personal reason. Why have you come? |
| 33562 Falik at your service. My companion, Grancor, needs help with finding a... a I can't remember what, but if you talk to him, he'll tell you. |
| 33563 Have you spoken with Grancor, huh? |
| 33564 Er... why do adventurers always come? Ehh... riches, and glories... and things. Come! Wounded in here in the small room with one exit. Very safe place. |
| 33565 A wise place for your wounded then. I will follow and help as best I can. |
| 33566 I imagine it is, though I don't think I want to get cornered in a confined space. |
| 33567 If it is so safe, why do you have wounded? And why have the orcs let you live? |
| 33568 Err... ah... we have made a deal with them. Yes, that is it. They have let us leave, and we... ah... do not bother them. It is a good deal, I think. |
| 33569 Yes, come this way. Wounded in the back here. Yes. Move in close. |
| 33570 Hello there, food-thing. You are just in time. Please just jump onto the grill over there. |
| 33571 Pardon me? |
| 33572 The grill. That big metal thing. Jump on. Be careful; it's hot! |
| 33573 You're crazy. |
| 33574 Why? |
| 33575 Maybe I'll throw you onto the grill. |
| 33576 Uncle Cajum, he was crazy. Me, I'm not crazy. I'm a cook. Now get on the grill! |
| 33577 Geez. It's impossible to get good help nowadays. If you're not on the grill, how am I going to cook you? |
| 33578 I don't want to be cooked. |
| 33579 Goodbye, I'm out of here. |
| 33580 If you didn't want to be cooked, then why did you apply for the job? I think you'll all make a tasty snack! Boys! Get 'em! |
| 33581 Don't talk to me. You lost your chance to be eaten. |
| 33582 Grill too small for me. Perfect size for you. A little salt and my uncle's special sauce and you'll be pretty yummy, I think. Wait, where are you going? Don't run away. Boys! Get 'em! |
| 33583 I don't think so. Goodbye. |
| 33584 Why would I want to be on the grill? |
| 33585 Fine. I'll just have you as a snack! Boys! Get 'em! |
| 33586 What is this place? |
| 33587 And just what will you do? I had thought this Bodhi's domain. |
| 33588 Come away quickly, before these spiders attack! I will protect you! |
| 33589 Like typical surface-dwellers, you will think this odd, but I have created a sanctuary. Here, the eight-legged can prosper beneath the city, away from fearful eyes. |
| 33590 A sanctuary for spiders? Are you insane? |
| 33591 Why would you care so much for their well-being? |
| 33592 She has made claim to this place, but there is more than enough room for others. I serve as a guard of sorts, in exchange for her cooperation. She finds my charges useful. |
| 33593 They will be of no use if the spiders get to them. |
| 33594 What is this place that you have built? |
| 33595 Will you now? No, I think I will rely on the spiders to protect me from you. There is no need for us to fight though. If Bodhi has let you in here, then we are allies. |
| 33596 Perhaps you could be of some use. If you help me, I would allow you passage here as you wish. Let me tell you what I require. |
| 33597 I am a hivemaster druid, and this is the "grove" that I have chosen to build. It is haven for the spiders, but it is not enough. They die most tragically at the hands of louts and hooligans. |
| 33598 Don't be touchin' Mr. Pimlico's stuff! I'm watchin' ye... |
| 33599 Beneath the grime, you can make out the words "Copper Coronet." |
| 33600 Nether Spell |
| 33601 Manual labor dogs. Don't speak to your betters in such a manner. |
| 33602 No reason to get all huffy. I won't stay long. |
| 33603 I hear you might have a sword I seek. It should have spiderlike patterns on it. |
| 33604 You found a weapon that you use to kill spiders. I demand that you give it to me. |
| 33605 Ain't excited. I just wants ya to leave. Bossmen won't take kindly to us speaking to strangers while we's supposed to be working. |
| 33606 Yeah, so get going before we have to call the guards. |
| 33607 Now, just a minute there. Ain't no call for that. I mean, be awfully hard for you to stay all nice and pretty if we let the city's blasted sewers back up. You should thank us. |
| 33608 Yeah, we do good work, so you take your high 'n mighty and get packin'. Get outta here. |
| 33609 Good. We ain't in public relations. That's what them stuffed cloaks at the government building is for. We just do the dirty work. |
| 33610 Yeah, dirty work. So get lost. |
| 33611 I don't know nothing about weapons, really. Trained a bit in hammers, but I don't keep none myself. Not sure what you want. |
| 33612 No, no, <HESHE> wants that blade we was given by ol' Gaden. The one that he said we should pack with us when we go after them spiders in the old ducts. |
| 33613 Ohhhh, I know the one. Yeah, scares 'em good for some reason. Sure wish I knew how to swing it proper. Always end up on me arse when I take a whack with it. |
| 33614 Well, if you can't use it, perhaps I could buy it off of you? Say, 50 gold? |
| 33615 If you have no need of it, I could buy it. Say, 200 gold or so? |
| 33616 I'll pay you 1,000 gold, no questions asked. |
| 33617 Your problems are irrelevant. Just give me the sword, and I'll be on my way. |
| 33618 I don't know what yous is talking about, but if I did, I sure wouldn't help you. You got a bad mouth. Besides, we ain't got any tools like that. |
| 33619 50 gold? By Waukeen's purse, are you serious? That's more gold than I seen all year! You got a deal! |
| 33620 No! Hurg, it ain't ours to sell. Belongs to the city of Athkatla. Besides... besides, if'n they'll pay 50, they'll probably pay more! |
| 33621 Ya think? Yeah, maybe. Okay, maybe you gotta pay so I don't get in trouble with the bossmen. How about, uh, 75 gold? |
| 33622 Oh, yeah, that's much better, you idiot. |
| 33623 Hey! I'll do the dealing here. I'm the one that's gotta haul it around. So, we gots a deal? 75 gold? |
| 33624 That will be fine. Here you go. |
| 33625 No, I'll stick with the 50 gold I offered. |
| 33626 Sorry, can't afford it. Couldn't you just give it to me? |
| 33627 200! Cripes a'mighty, you got a deal! |
| 33628 Hurg! It belongs to the city! It's not ours to sell! |
| 33629 You right, it's not ours. It's mine! I gots it, I'm packing it around, I gottat scare the spiders, so I'm sellin' it and you get squat. 200 is more than I make in years! Here! Take it! |
| 33630 Yeah, right. You just happen to have 1,000 gold layin' about. I ain't that stupid. Get lost. |
| 33631 Yeah, you have a pretty weird sense of humor. 1,000 gold is more than I ever seen. Get lost, funny<PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 33632 That works too. Here you go. |
| 33633 Just hand it over! I'll pay you with your lives! |
| 33634 That's just great! Now we're gonna be in it up to our elbows! We sold city property! They gonna make us disappear like Bene! |
| 33635 Sorry, but it's city property and I can't give it up. |
| 33636 Yeah, so get outta here before we get in trouble. Yeesh, you'd think we didn't have things to do. |
| 33637 Bene just wandered off like a drunkard. Aw, don't get all frothed up, Jeag. It's not like we used it much anymore since we got the new pry bar. If'n this deeppockets can get some use outta it, so be it. |
| 33638 You back again? What do you want now? |
| 33639 You'd better have a good reason for bothering us again. |
| 33640 Sorry, I'll be going now. |
| 33641 I was going to offer you 50 gold to buy the sword we talked of. |
| 33642 I was going to offer 200 gold for the sword we talked of. |
| 33643 I was wondering if you had found a sword with spiderlike etchings on it? |
| 33644 No, it is the murderers of these fine beasts that are insane. Even as we speak, these creatures are hunted down, more out of fear than any actual damage they might do. |
| 33645 My charges ARE the spiders. I keep them safe and tend their webs. Still, there is much I cannot do, and they are hunted even now, out of fear and suspicion. |
| 33646 Someone must. Even now, they are hunted as they move about in the sewers. It is because of fear and suspicion, nothing more. |
| 33647 It is a place of sanctuary for the eight-legged, though it is not enough. Even now, they are hunted in the sewers, more out of fear than anything. |
| 33648 The people you see in here are some of them. They are... serving... the spiders here until they redeem themselves for their crimes. I see it as fitting penance. I cannot stop them all though. |
| 33649 There have always been losses, but now there are even more. The workers of the city have found some fell weapon that smites the spiders most unfairly. |
| 33650 I need you to get it and bring it here. I will dispose of it and restore the balance beneath the city. If there are too few spiders, then the vermin will rise up. The exterminators do not think of this. |
| 33651 We must help her. Spiders are the most perfect creatures. |
| 33652 Hmm... I see you have among you one who appreciates the majesty of the arachnid. How do you come to be here, drow? I cannot show my face above, and I am only half dark elf. |
| 33653 It is my affair, mutt. Do not address me. |
| 33654 Ahh, even here comes the dark-elven purity. Fine, I will not address you, but you agree that the spiders must be protected. |
| 33655 We shall help you. |
| 33656 We will not help. |
| 33657 I will help you. |
| 33658 I will not help. I have no love for spiders. |
| 33659 Good. Then go, and find the accursed blade that kills my charges. I would go myself, but my half-drow blood would be my death if I were seen. |
| 33660 The blade is called Spider's Bane, and it is in the hands of the workers that clean the ducts and sewers. They lodge next to the prison, on its north side. Go. |
| 33661 No? NO?! Again I meet apathy! Again I face ignorance! Those underground will not bear this anymore! If you are not willing to help, then you are as guilty of murder as these fools here! |
| 33662 Even Bodhi cares not whether I and the spiders live or die! Well, I will stand it no longer! You will face my creatures! You will feed them! You will serve! |
| 33663 Her cause seems just, and she is druid kin of a sort. Let us do our best to aid. |
| 33664 Do not return without the accursed blade called Spider's Bane. Look in the building north of the prison. This is a simple task. |
| 33665 You return, and you have the evil blade that has slain so many! From the look of it, you have also broken it! My gratitude you have! It shall trouble no more the eight-legged kin. |
| 33666 Here, I have little to give, but you may find this useful. Take it and go. We are concluded in our business. |
| 33667 Leave us! You have aided, but your welcome is strained. Do not disturb the sanctuary I have built! |
| 33668 Sorry. So sorry. chhhhclclclcl... |
| 33669 Filthy... bugs... filthy... chhhhclclclcl... |
| 33670 N-no... please... chhhclclclclcl... |
| 33671 S-sorry... never will... again... chhhhclclclclcl... |
| 33672 You there, I would have a word with you. I am called Lord Jierdan Firkraag, and I bid you stand a moment and hear what I offer. |
| 33673 Oh... greetings to you, stranger. *sigh* |
| 33674 Who are you? |
| 33675 Why the long face? |
| 33676 What do you know about the killings around here? |
| 33677 I'll be on my way. |
| 33678 My name is Daar, and I... I am no one of importance, I suppose. At least, nobody important enough that my love's father might vaguely consider allowing me to court her. *sigh* |
| 33679 No? Why not? |
| 33680 Do you know anything about these murders in the area? |
| 33681 Well, I should go. |
| 33682 My love is Colette, and her father is a wizard of no small power... and possessed of considerable bias against me. |
| 33683 His name is Jermien... and I understand he intends to use Colette as a bargaining tool for some wizardly endeavor of his own. Against her will, I imagine... although I've had no chance to ask her opinion. |
| 33684 I know she wants to go with me, I know it! But her father will have none of it! He intends to go to great lengths to keep us apart! Oh, woe is me... |
| 33685 Perhaps I could speak to him for you. |
| 33686 I could remove her father from the equation... for a price. |
| 33687 Don't be such a wimp! Go and take her! And if he puts up a show of resistance, kill him! |
| 33688 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 33689 Oh, only a little. I have not been in the village for very long. It's my understanding that the wolves have become very active, yes? All I can think about is my Colette... |
| 33690 What's this about your Colette? |
| 33691 I'll be going, then. |
| 33692 Well met then, stranger. May you fare better than I. |
| 33693 It would be of no use, I am sure. And I do not wish to use violence in such an endeavor... I do not appreciate its taste, and no doubt Jermien would crush me with magic. |
| 33694 You are kind to offer your assistance, but there is no helping me, I think. Leave me to my sorrow, please. |
| 33695 I... I have no wish to use violence, my <LADYLORD>. Jermien loves his daughter in his own way, and I've no right. But less harsh methods are not likely to work either. |
| 33696 Badon's Ghost |
| 33697 Badon's Ghost |
| 33698 Eh? Who disturbs me? |
| 33699 I am <GABBER>... who are you? |
| 33700 My name doesn't concern you. |
| 33701 Forget it... I'll be on my way. |
| 33702 Dettseh's Ghost |
| 33703 Dettseh's Ghost |
| 33704 Amuana |
| 33705 Amuana |
| 33706 <GABBER>, eh? Well, I don't recognize your name. So long as you're not sent by that fool, Daar, I'll not object to your presence. |
| 33707 And I, since you ask, am none other than Jermien... licensed Cowled Wizard for this region. So you needn't run off and attempt to report me, <GIRLBOY>. |
| 33708 You're a Cowled Wizard? Then why don't you do something about the killings around here? |
| 33709 What do you know about the killings here? |
| 33710 What is this... thing... you're making? |
| 33711 Er... Daar didn't send me, but I did talk to him. Why don't you give him a break? |
| 33712 Why would you be upset if I was sent by this Daar fellow? |
| 33713 Oh, fine. There isn't anything more pleasant than being disturbed by a mysterious brooding stranger, now, is there? Pfah! Well, I care not, so long as that young fool, Daar, has not sent you. |
| 33714 Well, don't let the door hit you on the way out, <GIRLBOY>. |
| 33715 I don't do anything about it because I don't want to do anything about it. I have more important things to do... and until the Cowled Wizards tell me otherwise, I'll not involve myself. |
| 33716 Can you tell me what you know about these killings, then? |
| 33717 What is this... thing... you're making? |
| 33718 Er... Daar didn't send me, but I did talk to him. Why don't you give him a break? |
| 33719 Wallag's Body |
| 33720 Wallag's Body |
| 33721 Why would you be upset if I were sent by this Daar fellow? |
| 33722 I'll be going, then. |
| 33723 I'll be going, then. |
| 33724 It's likely wolves or ogres or some other mundane nonsense... I've no interest in the matter. Why don't you ask some of the yokels, if you're so concerned? |

| 33727 If you're a Cowled Wizard, why don't you do something about the killings? |
| 33728 What is this... thing... you're making? |
| 33729 Er... Daar didn't send me, but I did talk to him. Why don't you give him a break? |
| 33730 Why would you be upset if I were sent by this Daar fellow? |
| 33731 Well, I'll be going, then. |
| 33732 Ah! Glad that you asked! This, my friend, is nothing other than a golem of stone! A fine piece of magical craftsmanship, if I do say so myself! |
| 33733 Few other mages have made the attempt, you see. This type of golem is quite powerful and dangerous... but I am more than skilled enough to control it. |
| 33734 Once it's complete, I'll have an excellent servant... and something to keep an eye on my daughter and that foolhardy beau of hers while I am away. |

| 33737 Trouble is, I'm missing one of the crucial ingredients... the blood of a mimic. I'd pay handsomely for some, in fact. Hmmm... you look like the adventurous type... care to find me some? |
| 33738 What's a mimic, and where would I find one? |
| 33739 What kind of reward are you offering? |
| 33740 No, I'm not interested. |
| 33741 I'll try to find you some, certainly. |
| 33742 Hmph! I've far more important things in mind for Colette than that fool, Daar. She'll get over her childish infatuation, I assure you... and Daar will be long gone. |
| 33743 If I'd known you were going to plead the boy's case, I would at least have magic missiled you upon entrance. I'll thank you not to bring up the subject again. |
| 33744 You're a Cowled Wizard? Why don't you do something about the killings around here? |
| 33745 What do you know about the killings? |
| 33746 What is this... thing... you're making? |
| 33747 I'll be going, then. |
| 33748 Daar is a foolish boy who is intent on courting my daughter, Colette. And she is infatuated with him, naturally. I've far more important things in store for her, however, so she'll just have to get over it. |
| 33749 I've got to spend half my time scheming to keep the two of them apart, and it's quite irritating, I'll have you know. So I'll thank you not to bring up the subject again. |
| 33750 You're a Cowled Wizard? Why don't you do something about the killings around here? |
| 33751 What do you know about the killings? |
| 33752 What is this... thing... you're making? |
| 33753 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 33754 Your eyes are mistaken! Monsters I killed, not knights! |
| 33755 A mimic is a vicious little creature... shapechanger... that likes to attract and kill adventurers by looking like a treasure chest or similar objects. |
| 33756 They generally exist in dungeons, ruins, and similar places. Although where you would find one around here, I haven't a clue. That's why I'm looking for some. |
| 33757 What kind of reward are you offering? |
| 33758 Very well... I'll make the attempt. |
| 33759 Forget it, I'm not interested. |
| 33760 Hmm. I seem to recall that I've got a magical sword around here that I won in a bet from that fool, Tolgerias. I've no use for it, but it's valuable. Find me some mimic's blood and it's yours. |
| 33761 I'd need to know what a mimic is and where you'd find one. |
| 33762 All right... I'll make the attempt. |
| 33763 Forget it... I'm not interested in your task. |
| 33764 Fine. I wish I could point you in the right direction. But if you do find some, you know where to find me. Off you go, then, <GIRLBOY>. |
| 33765 When you return, and I have no doubt that you will, you may find me at my cabin to the south. I am Garren Windspear, once lord of this region. Good luck. |
| 33766 Well, I expected as much, really. I've no other use for you, <GIRLBOY>, so you'd best just find your way elsewhere in this town, then. |
| 33767 Back again, are you, <GIRLBOY>? What is it you want now? |
| 33768 I want to know why you don't do anything about the killings here. |
| 33769 Tell me about this thing you're creating again. |
| 33770 I've spoken to Daar... why don't you give him a break? |
| 33771 I'll be going. |
| 33772 Ah! It is you again, <GIRLBOY>! I don't suppose you've found any of that mimic's blood, have you? |
| 33773 Yes, I do have some, in fact. |
| 33774 No, I don't... but I intend to find some. |
| 33775 No, I don't... and I don't intend on looking for it anymore either. |
| 33776 Eh? Let me have a look at what you have there. Yes... yes... I see. Well done, <GIRLBOY>, well done! I don't know how you found it, but here it is! |
| 33777 I took the liberty of digging out that sword earlier, just in case. Rather prophetic of me, don't you think? It was just collecting dust anyway... so here you go, and well earned, I might add. |
| 33778 Now... all I need to do is add this to the golem and he will be complete! Finally, I will be able to leave in peace and be assured that Colette will not be molested while I am gone! |
| 33779 Then I suggest you go and keep looking for some. Mimics don't grow on trees, <GIRLBOY>. |
| 33780 Well, it's no less than I expected. Perhaps you should go find some simpler pursuits for yourself, <GIRLBOY>... like, say, farming or something similar. |
| 33781 ...mmm... mmmMMMWWaarrRR? |
| 33782 Yes! Awake, my creature! Awake and hear my command! |
| 33783 RRRAAAUUGH! |
| 33784 Eh? Wh-what is wrong here? |
| 33785 No! No, stay back! BACK, I COMMAND YOU! |
| 33786 FATHER! |
| 33787 F-father?! You're alive! Oh, thank the gods! |
| 33788 Y-yes... I am alive, my daughter. Thanks to our kind stranger here... |
| 33789 Colette?! Colette, what has happened?! |
| 33790 Oh, Daar! Oh, Daar, it was terrible! |
| 33791 One of my own creations turned on me, boy. It... it seems I am not so wise and powerful as I had first thought. |
| 33792 And... perhaps I have been foolish in some of my other decisions as well. Daar... boy... if you promise to take care of my daughter, and protect her... if you still want her... I'll not stand in the way. |
| 33793 Oh, Father! Are you serious? Thank you! |
| 33794 Indeed. Thank you, Jermien. I shall take excellent care of Colette, you can be sure. Come, my love... let's not waste this chance. |
| 33795 My thanks to you, <PRO_GIRLBOY>, for saving a foolish wizard's life. *sigh* My daughter is now gone... I think I will leave myself for a while and consider what I have done. |
| 33796 Father! Oh, Father, what have you done?! |
| 33797 Colette?! Colette, what has happened?! |
| 33798 Daar! Daar, it was terrible! One... one of father's creations... it turned on him! And... and now he's dead! |
| 33799 I never meant your father any harm, my love. But his pride killed him in the end. Come... let us away from here, and I will protect you in his stead. |
| 33800 A-all right... I just... I just wish father had... |
| 33801 Shush, my love. There is no more that needs to be said. |
| 33802 Shade Wolf |
| 33803 Shade Wolf |
| 33804 My thanks to you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... whoever you are. Without your aid, the creature would have certainly killed Colette as well. I wish you well. |
| 33805 I have had to drop what you gave me. I have only two arms and no more space. |
| 33806 *sigh* Father will never let me marry Daar. That is all I wish to do... I don't know why he won't change his mind! |
| 33807 I don't know why Father won't let me go. I'll never be a sorceress like he wants me to! |
| 33808 I love Daar... but Father will have none of it! Now he's making this... thing... to watch over me when he leaves! This is just terrible! |

| 33812 'Allo to you an' a good day! I am Vincenzo, and I offer you all the services of me humble lil inn! |
| 33813 Anath |
| 33814 There're a lot o' things t' be said about yer inn, Vince... but "humble" ain't the one I would be pickin', aye? |
| 33815 Hush, boy! An' keep callin' me "Vince" an' I'll have ye strapped o'er a log! The name's "Vincenzo"! |
| 33816 'At's a lotta rot. Ye hears that name from a Sembian trader, an' suddenly ye're puttin' on airs. Pfeh! |
| 33817 Never mind the boy. He's an ignorant lout I took in out of pity. A simpleton who doesn't know his place. Is there aught I can do for you, my good <LADYLORD>? |
| 33818 What do you know about the killings around here? |
| 33819 I'd like to see your services. |
| 33820 No, thanks. |
| 33821 Ah, Vincenzo knows the truth! My family has been in this here area for a long, long time... an' the tales of the witch, Umar, have been passed down, they have! |
| 33822 Ye're not gonna go into that rot again, are ye? |
| 33823 Silence, boy! Perhaps I should give you to the witch instead, as an offering, eh? Leave ye out on the doorstep with a lace of garlic tied around yer neck? |
| 33824 Well... |
| 33825 I thought that'd shut yer trap. Now, then, me <LADYLORD>... I can tell ye all about th' witch, Umar... a tale sure to curl yer ears, if ye'd care to hear it. |
| 33826 Go ahead... I've got the time. |
| 33827 Maybe some other time. |
| 33828 Of course, of course! I've not many rooms, mind you... all th' frightened folk who've fled into the village have near filled me up. Only a room or two left. |
| 33829 Jus' don't mind the rodents while ye're sleepin'... |
| 33830 Silence, boy! There are no foulsome rodents here other than you! *ahem* Ah... now, my <LADYLORD>... |
| 33831 As ye wish, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. If ye changes yer mind, we've comfortable beds an' good food too, at a fair price. |
| 33832 ...that's if ye can stand th' stench... |
| 33833 Silence, boy! The only stench that needs to be humored around here is that of your unwashed clothes! Hie thee an' take a bath, swine! |
| 33834 I jus' took one this morning, Vince... but ye're a peach fer offerin'. |
| 33835 Ye could ha' fooled me, you little stable rat! And me name be "Vincenzo"! |
| 33836 Like I said... me family has been around these parts a long time. We were here back when th' witch herself plagued these lands o'er seven hundred years ago. |
| 33837 Umar was a wicked one. No one e'er saw her except when she came down from the hills to steal some unfortunate soul. Shepherds, babes... anyone who weren't careful. |
| 33838 She'd torture 'emâ€â€ye could hear their cries durin' the night. People tried to find her, but only the victims' bodies would turn up... mutilated an' dead. |
| 33839 Don' know why they jus' didn't kill her... |
| 33840 'Cause they couldn't find her, ye stupid boy! Were ye not listenin'? An' besides, she were a powerful witch with plenty o' magic fer any fight. |
| 33841 Strange thing is, me <LADYLORD>, Umar jus' vanished one day. Maybe she were killed, maybe not. But every century or so, it's said she comes back to th' Hills... |
| 33842 Ha ha! This is whar it gets right funny, yer story! |
| 33843 I'm warning ye, boy... ye'll be out on yer arse faster than ye can blink if ye keeps this up! |
| 33844 Sun Gem |
| 33845 (Ahem!) As I said, every century or so, she comes again. People disappear, tortured in the hills. An' only sometimes are th' bodies found. |
| 33846 Once Umar's sated herself on blood, she returns to whence she came. This is jus' like them other times... people forgets so easily. 'Tis the witch, I tells ye. |
| 33847 Well, there was a group o' mages some years back who came. Young ones... apprentices, I gathered. Two fellas and a young lass, sure enough. |
| 33848 Has nobody tried to find this witch in recent years? |
| 33849 Well... thanks for the story, I suppose. |
| 33850 They were sent by their master t' look into the Umar witch... or so they said. Nice enough group, but 'twere obvious they expected nothin'. |
| 33851 I remember 'em... 'ey were all right. Fer mages. Lots nicer 'an that Jermien feller. Now he should go an' soak 'is head. |
| 33852 Aye, true enough. Them three went into th' Hills... an' they was ne'er found again. 'Cept for the lass's journals... I found those meself, out in the woods. |
| 33853 More victims of Umar herself, sure as daylight. Ye can read it in the lass's journal, sure enough. |
| 33854 Do you think I might be able to take a look at this journal? |
| 33855 Well, thanks for the story, I suppose. |
| 33856 Aye, ye can... I had a copy or two done up by a scribe friend o' mine some months back. Ye can have one, if ye likes. |
| 33857 A copy or two? More like ye gots a whole storeroom full o' copies of that journal, ye bleedin' banana! |
| 33858 Well, so what if I have? 'Tis a good story, more or less! Make me bloody rich one day... an' then where will ye be, ye little rugrat? |
| 33859 More an' like ye wrote th' journal yerself, I'd wager! |
| 33860 I did nae such thing! Here ye go, me <PRO_LADYLORD>... use it as ye will. But beware the witch if ye goes into the hills. She's not sated yet... not by a long shot... |
| 33861 See? No one wants t' hear yer stoopid stories, Vince. |
| 33862 You watch yer tongue, ye long-eared vermin, or I'll cut it off! Now, me <LADYLORD>, since ye don't be wantin' me stories, was there aught else I could do for ye? |
| 33863 I would like to look at your services. |
| 33864 No, thanks. |
| 33865 Not at all, not at all... glad to see that there's people willin' to listen to it. |
| 33866 More 'an like they shut ye up once 'ey could get a word in edgewise, aye? |
| 33867 Watch it, ye little bugbear, or I'll dunk ye in a trough an' leave ye to rot in the sun! Now... me <LADYLORD>... was there somethin' else ye wanted? |
| 33868 I'd like to see your services. |
| 33869 No, thank you. |
| 33870 Ah! 'Tis good to see ye again, me <LADYLORD>! Is there somethin' I can be doin' for ye? |
| 33871 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 33872 What do you think of all these killings around here? |
| 33873 I'd like to hear your story about Umar. |
| 33874 No, thanks. |
| 33875 Egad! Somebody actually wants t' hear his cockamamy tripe? |
| 33876 Silence, boy! The customer wants a story, right an' true, an' I aim to give <HIMHER> one! |
| 33877 Welcome truly, me <LADYLORD>! 'Tis grand t' have a hero of the village come into me good establishment! Anything ye wishes, I am pleased t' provide it! |
| 33878 Even if the culprit didn't turn out to be Umar? |
| 33879 I'd like to see your services. |
| 33880 I'll be going. |

| 33886 I'd like to see your services. |

| 33896 Blessed be the light of Amaunator. The Temple of Amaunator shines like a beacon of radiance in the hills of Umar. Amaunator wards us from the shadows of evil. Pilgrims come from areas far off to be blessed by the beauty of Amaunator. Amaunator is endless and without equal. Yet our god serves us well, in that he is constantly on vigil against shadows. The Temple serves a further purpose towards this end. Amaunator keeps the casters of shadows from walking the land. Any and all who dare to taste of shadow magic should know that Amaunator and his most holy servants will seek them out and cast them into chains within the Temple. Lightstone, Dawn's Light, and Sun Rays are Holy Symbols, guides in any spiritual journey that a disciple of Amaunator may embark upon. Blessed be the light of Amaunator. |
| 33897 Awww... poor Vince has a room full o' them "Umar Witch Project" journals an' no more killin' an' misery t' sell 'em with. Tsk. |
| 33898 Shut yer yip, boy... or I'll offer ye to yon visitin' ogre as a noontime snack, I will. Now... me <LADYLORD>... |
| 33899 Keep it up, boy, and ye'll be eatin' them journals fer lunch, ye will. Hmph. Oh... oh, yes, me <LADYLORD>... |
| 33900 Unless ye gots yerself a horse hidden under all that there armor, ye should be talkin' to Vince an' not me, aye? |

| 33917 The circus in Waukeen's Promenade has been shut down due to some form of accident which traps all who enter. The main tent is closed to access from the outside. |
| 33918 One should beware of walking in the slums and the Bridge District late at night... footpads and muggers openly attack you, amongst other forms of trouble. |
| 33919 The sewers beneath the city can be entered in many ways... but it is a haven for thieves and strange creatures that will kill you without a second thought. |
| 33920 Word has come to me of your actions. I see you as capable and headstrong, with the ability to handle whate'er is thrown at you. Just the type of creature that I am looking for. |
| 33921 The churches of Lathander and Talos are in a constant fight for dominance in the city... many believe this will soon lead to open war. |
| 33922 You have done your research well. What do you need of me? |
| 33923 Your flattery is not needed. I will listen to what you have to say. |
| 33924 You claim to know much, but I care not. Speak your offer, and be quick about it. |
| 33925 Clerics throughout the city are disappearing... only to reappear with their eyes plucked out, claiming to have joined a new religion devoted to "the Unseeing Eye." |
| 33926 The Shadow Thieves run the Docks District... anyone who goes there should pay heed to them or suffer the consequences. |
| 33927 Certainly you understand that these are dangerous times, and that extreme measures are often called for. That is why I have need of you. |
| 33928 I am lord of a community outside Athkatla, and while I provide for my people as best that I can, there are some things I cannot do. Battle is not my strong point. |
| 33929 The Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart is an order of lawful warriors that serves all of Amn. They can be called to duty anywhere evil threatens. |
| 33930 There are marauders, horrid ogres and trolls that must be destroyed with fire or they regenerate. I need a firm hand to push them back. I need you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 33931 Slavery is illegal in Athkatla, but it is rumored the skin trade still exists... providing gladiators and foreign courtesans for the amusement of the Amnian nobility. |
| 33932 Two weeks ago, a giant sphere appeared in the middle of the slums... the Cowled Wizards have been desperately (and unsuccessfully) trying to gain entrance to it. |
| 33933 There have been a series of murders in the Bridge District. Victims have been found with the flesh flayed from their bodies... the murderer is still at large. |
| 33934 One should be wary of going into the Graveyard District at night... it is said that the dead, and worse things, can come out of the older and deeper tombs. |
| 33935 I offer a grand sum, worthy of a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of your stature. I offer 10,000 gold if you can free my land of this scourge. It is a fortune, you will agree. |
| 33936 10,000? That is an astounding sum for simple monster-hunting. |
| 33937 Why me and not some other company? You could have anyone at that price. |
| 33938 You have a deal. Where are your lands, and when should I go? |
| 33939 Athkatla is ruled by the Council of Six... their identities are secret so no one knows who to bribe. The council is currently not in session, so the Vice-Consul rules. |
| 33940 The colony of New Amn in Maztica is growing dangerous. The natives are rebelling against their masters... the council might send in reinforcements. |
| 33941 There is a rival guild to the Shadow Thieves. They've been recruiting in mass numbers. But the Shadow Thieves are still larger, and should wipe them out if they try. |
| 33942 It is a small price for safety. It is not as though I am without funds. I merely believe in paying for quality. You will be wealthy in my service, rest assured. |

| 33946 Jeagger |
| 33947 Ah, but you would not lump yourself together with common mercenaries, would you? No, I require someone with finesse and skill as well as strength. You are ideal. |
| 33948 The rival guild is rumored to have been wiped out by the Shadow Thieves. The Shadow Thieves were far more numerous... and brook no competition. |
| 33949 Good. There really was no other choice to make. I will direct you to the place you are to go. Do not tarry too long. There are people's lives at stake. |
| 33950 The Shadow Thieves' victory over its rival guild is rumored to be due to the aid of several independent master thieves in the city... something the Shadow Thieves hotly deny. |
| 33951 The rival guild to the Shadow Thieves is rumored to have been composed of vampires, liches, and the like. Fortunately, their evil plans ended with their deaths. |
| 33952 The Shadow Thieves have reasserted their hold on the city and the council, eliminating all of their opposition. The rebel guild is completely destroyed. |
| 33953 Word is, the rival guild to the Shadow Thieves was comprised of several guildmasters dissatisfied with Renal Bloodscalp. The Bloodscalp had them all killed. |
| 33954 Rumor is that the rival guild to the Shadow Thieves has pushed the larger group out of Athkatla. Exterior forces are massing to teach the new guild a lesson. |
| 33955 The leaders of the Shadow Thieves have been assassinated... but the victorious rival guild has vanished, cutting off reprisal from the larger Shadow guild. |
| 33956 The leader of the victorious rival to the Shadow Thieves is said to be a woman of unparalleled beauty and power. She's led her guild into hiding after killing off Renal Bloodscalp. |
| 33957 The Council of Six is reeling since the Shadow Thieves were destroyed by rivals in the city... the guild had secretly ruled Athkatla for decades, and the council is now at a loss. |
| 33958 The victory of the rival thieves' guild was led by a group of powerful warriors and magicians who defeated the entire Shadow guild's leadership. |
| 33959 The murders in Imnesvale have been caused by a group of monsters that have camped in the regions, deserters from the Sythillisian Empire led by an ogre named Madulf. |
| 33960 There's an alliance with Madulf and his mercenaries. The mayor's allowed them to trade with the village in return for protection from orcish raids from the Umar Hills. |
| 33961 Many blame the murders in the village on the band of wolves that have been active in the region for the last several years... supposedly led by an actual werewolf. |
| 33962 I have no doubt your service will be exemplary. If all goes well, we shall all receive exactly what we deserve. My lands are on your map; the Windspear Hills await. |
| 33963 Shepherds and farmers from outlying areas are relieved that the wolf pack has been disbanded and the werewolf destroyed... flocks will be safe once again. |
| 33964 Some say the witch Umar has surfaced again. She vanished seven hundred years ago, but legend holds that every century or so, her reign of murder and torture begins again. |
| 33965 The ranger-protector Merella has vanished from her cabin west of the village. If another ranger doesn't replace her, Imnesvale is without a defender. |
| 33966 A few centuries ago, bands of mithral were discovered and mined. Temples sprung up, and wealthy Amnian families bought land... it was all abandoned when the mithral ran out. |
| 33967 You are the choice I make, and the offer stands whether you go now or not. There is no other decision that makes sense. |
| 33968 Imnesvale's mayor, Lloyd Wainwright, needs more adventurers to seek the source of the village's problems. A group led by the knight Mazzy Fentan disappeared several weeks ago. |
| 33969 Herders have returned to the fields and farmers to their holds now that the strange shadow menace has been halted. The entire village is grateful to those responsible. |
| 33970 The Lurraxols and the Alibakkars, two of the wealthiest families in Trademeet, have been at each other's throats for generations. |
| 33971 A month ago, Lady Lilith Lurraxol convinced the Athkatlan council to sell her the sole license for fur sales in Trademeet. Lord Skarmaen Alibakkar was reportedly incensed! |
| 33972 We've had three wolf attacks in the last week, and two huge black bears thundering through the streets before that! Those druids will pay! |
| 33973 Word has it that the Great Druid was evil. Lord Logan says everything is okay now that she's dead. I'll believe it when I see it. |
| 33974 Old lady Adratha, who lives near the grove and sells potions, hasn't been heard from in some time. Probably killed by the druids' beasts. |
| 33975 Lord Logan's sister, Lady Aura, is the leader of the Riatavin rebels. The council's giving him heat over this... that's why Trademeet hasn't had any help from the capital. |
| 33976 The monsters of the Sythillisian army are destroying everything in their path. Everyone fears they'll march through Imnescar and Trademeet next summer. |
| 33977 There's always been talk about a link between this isle and some dark underground city, but then, what do you expect on an isle of braggarts and madmen? |
| 33978 Ask anyone around; they'll tell you that they don't mind livin' under Spellhold. Of course, they ain't the ones dragged off to be healed there. |
| 33979 Spider |
| 33980 Spellhold ain't no place to heal. Seen mage after mage go in, as well as a whole lot of "difficult" people, but ain't seen a one of them come back out. |
| 33981 Spider |
| 33982 There's been a few wrecks lately. The last was an old sea vet that knew the water well and true. It's as if the seas just took him on a whim. |
| 33983 Desharik leads here, and does it well enough... though the occasional rival gets sent to Spellhold. A bit too concerned about his own goals, but who isn't? |
| 33984 Spellhold weren't first built as a jail, but that ain't stopped them locking people up in it. Enchanted through and through... it takes mages to hold mages. |
| 33985 Talk to Madame Galvena if you're looking for recreation in town, though you have to be into that sort of thing. Not everyone in her employ is there by choice. |
| 33986 So be it. It has been amusing to travel with you. If you have further need of me, you can find me in the Graveyard District of Athkatla... away from murderous rivvil eyes. |
| 33987 Tch! I am through with your worthless, cowardly presence as it is! Oloth plynn dos, you worthless excuse for an abbil. If we meet again, it will be in battle, I assure you! |
| 33988 Aye, were times and circumstances different than what they are, I might let a petty purse-thief pass. |
| 33989 Aye, then we are well met. I am a humble servant of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, and I believe I am to meet you here. Our quests are linked. |
| 33990 The evil of which I spoke, its presence is quite strong and, unsurprisingly, it emanates from somewhere deep below us. |
| 33991 They always have, for some reason. They always have... |
| 33992 Something has been preying on the priests and knights of my Order, friend, so I fear I cannot let you pass. If you wish to fight, then draw what steel you wish. |
| 33993 I am Keldorn, servant of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. |
| 33994 As for the evil of which I speak, I know only that it has preyed upon my brothers in faith. I have heard that the other churches have suffered similar losses of late. |
| 33995 Only that whatever evil lurks about, it does so far below these simple sewers. I have not yet found a downward exit to this place, but I am sure that is where the evil sleeps. |
| 33996 And with an attitude like that, you'll never reach my age at all, friend... |
| 33997 I am Keldorn, servant of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. I have been sent here to root out an evil that has preyed twice on my brothers in faith. |
| 33998 I have found little here, save the presence of evil's stench. Whatever it is, it is very powerful and has created about itself some perverse guise of faith. |
| 33999 It is below us somewhere... Deep. That is all I know. |
| 34000 Certainly, though it is not so much a question of kindness as one of prideâ€â€one of my many failings, I fear. |
| 34001 The Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart is among the most prestigious of knightly orders. It honors not only distinguished service in the name of the church, but also the wisdom of age. |
| 34002 The Order has always granted me a certain degree of autonomy in my dealings. If it is to do battle against the pressing dark, then I shall be humbly present at your side. |
| 34003 Ha, faith is not something from which you can retire, friend. It sparks your imagination and holds you forever in its passions. |
| 34004 I am one of the lucky ones in that my body still serves. But when it fails me, as someday it must, then I shall offer myself up to the courts and teach nobles to use their power gently and with grace... |
| 34005 Beasts! Curs! Your terror ends here! |
| 34006 Can't we talk about this? |
| 34007 No! Yours is the evil that will be crushed here today! |
| 34008 Wait! I would speak at you! |
| 34009 You'll be dead before my words are through echoing in your head, monster! |
| 34010 There will be no talk! We shall not deal with monsters that have no concept of honor! No more words! Attack! |
| 34011 Brave words from one so foul, but you cannot win in the face of our divine righteousness! |
| 34012 No more words! Your lies will taint this land no longer; your crimes will trouble the people not a second more! |
| 34013 You would call me a monster?! You have nerve for such a beast! Fight, and know that your death is inevitable! |
| 34014 Here in this note I beseech the noble knights of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart to answer my call of desperation. There are, at this moment, beasts of huge size and ferocity rampaging on my lands. Ogres and their fell kin have killed my peoples and tenants, and I have not the means to rout them. For all that is good, will you descend upon them with your righteousness? I await your response. Lord Jierdan Firkraag |
| 34015 You are awfully eloquent for a beast of your size. We should talk a moment. |
| 34016 Ahh, you have arrived. I thought you might. Best that you learn all you can of your situation before you go off getting killed. You have been cruelly tricked. |
| 34017 You skip many of the entries of times and places far removed from your current worries. Flamerule 7 Kaatje came to visit again. A sweet child, eager to learn my ways with the wild creatures. Flamerule 12 Dark creatures roam the forests. Several townspeople have been slain by some unknown predator. Everyone seems to have their own opinion of what is doing the killing. The strangest thing is that the bodies are disappearing in the morning. This leaves me baffled, for most signs point to a pack of wolves that have been in the area for a long time. Wolves don't steal bodies. Flamerule 13 Or perhaps I should say wolf-like creatures. At night while I've been patrolling, I've often caught shadowy glimpses of these "wolves" running alongside me. I've tried to attract their attention, but they ignore me. I find this most strange, as if the pack is being controlled by someone else. Years ago, I spoke with the pack leaders, and they were cordial. Now they either flee from me or, and I fear to say this, they stalk me. Flamerule 21 It is near noon and still the wood outside my cabin seems full of shadows. I've been hard-pressed to hear birds, and most of the larger animals have long fled. I plan to find the wolves' den (this afternoon). I've drawn a map to it. All signs point to them as being the culprits, but what wolves act like these? They are wolves with the cunning of men. And there is something else, a whispering in my mind. It is faint now, in the waking hours, but while I sleep, I dream only of this voice and the face behind it. Whether it is connected to the voices, I do not know. I suspect by the time that the sun sets tonight I'll have answers to my questions. |

| 34047 I knew you would not let me down. The compound is not far from here... a dry-docked boat just across the way on the east side of the slums. |
| 34048 It may be risky to approach openly. There was talk of a secret passage to the sewer connecting the Coronet to the slaver base, but I do not know where it might be. |
| 34049 The compound is not far from here... a dry-docked boat just across the way to the east side of the slums. |
| 34050 It may be risky to approach openly. There was talk of a secret passage to the sewer connecting the Coronet to the slaver base, but I do not know where it might be. |
| 34051 My honor is tainted by this disgrace. I must redeem myself in the eyes of my god. |
| 34052 Your kindness is welcome. How did you come to happen by when you did? |
| 34053 This slandering of my reputation is unbearable. You cannot know my pain. |
| 34054 I will destroy whoever has done this to me. They will not survive my anger! |
| 34055 I'm sure you will have your chance. Take heart that you are not the first to have your name unfairly maligned. I too have been through such circumstance. |
| 34056 You are not the first to suffer because of falsehoods and trickery. I have undergone the same, though my trial was less bloody. |
| 34057 I can. Do not think yourself alone in this, for I have weathered similar trials. Our situations are similar, yours and mine. |
| 34058 Save your rage until you know your target, or it will eat you up inside. I know this all to well, for I have suffered similar pains. |
| 34059 I was once lord of this land and had many holds across the heart of Amn. Taken from me, it was. It was almost overnight, and I still bear the scars in my dreams. |
| 34060 I am content now, having found solace in the quiet of the wood, but I will forevermore curse the name of Lord Jierdan Firkraag. |
| 34061 I know this name. It was he that bid me rid his land of its ogre menace. |
| 34062 Firkraag! Then it was he who plotted my downfall! He was the one who hired me! |
| 34063 It is true to his style, organizing an elaborate plot to discredit a rival. I do not understand why he would target you, however. My case was obvious. |
| 34064 He sought my lands, so he discredited me. There were missing people only he could find, banditry only he could stop. Solutions to problems I am sure he caused. |
| 34065 In the end, my properties were razed in a single night. The people lost faith in me, and my influence crumbled. Now, it would seem, he has targeted you. |
| 34066 So he undermined your barony, but why would he come after me? |
| 34067 He sounds like a right evil monster, and I will seek his end for these crimes! |
| 34068 I do not know. Perhaps you slighted him in some way, without even knowing. He seems quite single-minded in his purposes. |
| 34069 This is mere speculation, but perhaps you slighted him in some way, without even knowing. He seems very single-minded in his grudges. |
| 34070 Lilarcor |
| 34071 What I do know is that he is not the worst of your worries. The Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart will seek your death if something is not done quickly. |
| 34072 I have friends among the Order. I will speak with them as quickly as possible. Perhaps I can persuade them to look on you with mercy. I can but try. |
| 34073 I thank you for this. You are most kind. |
| 34074 Your efforts are appreciated, but I cannot pay you for this service. |
| 34075 How do I know you won't turn me in? You might use me as leverage to regain status. |
| 34076 It is not a problem. I have found peace where I am, but any enemy of Lord Jierdan's is a friend of mine. Make my home yours until I return with good news. |
| 34077 I would not ask for payment. Any enemy of Lord Jierdan's is a friend of mine. I will return as soon as possible. Make my home yours; I won't be long. |
| 34078 I no longer worry about where I was, I have found peace where I am. Worry not, I will return as soon as possible with news. Make my home yours for now. |
| 34079 You have brought happiness to my father again. It has been some time since he has been able to help anyone in need. Please, do not disappoint him. |
| 34080 Father has much faith in you, that you are genuinely pained at what has happened. Faith is very important to him. Please do not disappoint him. |
| 34081 I would not dream of it. He is an honorable man. |
| 34082 I will try, though my destiny is quite beyond my control at the moment. |
| 34083 He takes his chances. I am not responsible for where he puts his faith. |
| 34084 Perhaps too honorable. He could not match the tactics of Lord Jierdan and now hides his shame. Please, I would ask you to shame this Firkraag as he shamed my father. |
| 34085 That is how my father felt. He claims he has found his way again, but I know he doubts. If you can, give the doubt back to Jierdan. Father would not ask, but I will. |
| 34086 He has little left to believe in, and breaking his trust would not strengthen him. His failure haunts him, and I would ask you to repay Jierdan for this. |
| 34087 Lord Jierdan Firkraag deserves to be hurt. I trust you will do your best, if not for my father, then for yourself. |
| 34088 My lady, you honor us. Forgive the stars in my eyes, but you are just as I imagined a Bringer of Light. Father has told of your shame, and I offer sympathies. |
| 34089 Chapter 1 My old friend Imoen has rescued me from imprisonment. I don't remember how I was brought here, and neither do I know who would wish us locked up. My mind aches, and my memory is a haze... what has happened? Where am I? |
| 34090 Lawrence Lilarcor was well-known, not for being brave, but for being an idiot. As the tale goes, the boastful Lilarcor left his village at the urging of his friends so that the "great hero" could do battle with a devious treant. He walked for days in the dead of winter until, feverish, he found his target and began an epic wrestling match. Unfortunately (or perhaps luckily), the "treant" was nothing more than a craggy old normal oak. His friends had been jesting, not actually expecting that Lilarcor would go fight the fictitiously dangerous tree. That might have been the end of it, but Lilarcor, not really knowing what a treant was in the first, didn't realize the truth. He eventually uprooted the oak and, marching proudly home, he declared himself a hero. Thus was born a laughing stock of epic proportions, and over time the name of Lilarcor became the sacrificial fool in many tales of "less than brilliance." It is not known whether this enchanted weapon is Lilarcor himself, perhaps imprisoned by an evil mage or some other odd coincidence of fate, but it certainly acts in a manner consistent with his level of competence. If it is he, he has never bemoaned his captivity. He might not realize, or care, that he is no longer a human. As a weapon, Lilarcor has its uses, but many a warrior has eventually given it away. Banter such as "Ouch, that musta hurt," "Oh yeah! Got 'im good," and "Beware my bite for it might... might... might really hurt or something" is a constant barrage on a warrior's psyche.

| 34092 Helping Irenicus's captive dryads I have agreed to help a trio of dryads return their acorns to the Fairy Queen. Somewhere in the dungeon is a dwarf by the name of Ilyich who has the acorns. |
| 34093 Helping Irenicus's captive dryads In order to free the captive dryads from their imprisonment, I must bring their acorns to the Fairy Queen, who is apparently located in an area called the Windspear Hills. |
| 34094 When you return, and I have no doubt that you will, you may find me at my cabin to the south. I am Garren Windspear, once lord of this region. Good luck. |
| 34095 I shall be honored to accept your hospitality. |
| 34096 Follow behind me. My cabin is but a short distance south of here. I will meet you there. |
| 34097 My son is gone! I left this place in your care! I... no, no, I know it was not you. I know my enemies. Damn Jierdan Firkraag, what is his grief with me?! |
| 34098 It must be horrible for you, a paladin, to suffer this abuse; to have your will corrupted with trickery must be a great affront. Know that I wish you well in this. |
| 34099 Freeing the djinni To retrieve what is in possession of the djinni Malaaq, I must first secure his release by obtaining the twin to the flask he is bound to. He informed me that the flask is kept close to his master... either in his chambers or in the possession of some dryads or golems. |
| 34100 Ah, but I must seem a simpering fool. Forgive me, but I have long admired those called "paladin." You are as impressive in person as in story. |
| 34101 I do not feel impressive. I have lost my honor to a lie. |
| 34102 Your words flatter, but I am undeserving. |
| 34103 Save your words for tales around the campfire. There is no glory in what has happened. |
| 34104 I strive to be a role model. Even in this time of trial I will stand tall. |
| 34105 Find a way to release Jaheira from her cell Jaheira is kept captive in the same room that I was, in a cage closed with a magical lock. It does not look as if it can be picked. Perhaps there is a key elsewhere in the dungeon. |
| 34106 Find a way to release Minsc from his cell Minsc too is kept captive in the same room I was. Obviously our captors fear his strength, as his cell is welded shut; there is no lock to pick and no key to find. I don't know how I will get him out. |
| 34107 Get the golem to open the dungeon doors It appears the sewage golem will open the doors in the dungeon if I find an activation stone... it is on a table near someone named Rielev. |
| 34108 Find the key to release Frennedan. I have agreed to free Frennedan from his glass cage. Apparently, there is a key in one of the chests in the same room that will open his door and let him out. |
| 34109 You may be downtrodden, but remember what it is to be a paladin. You suffer that others might not. You live a life of hardship that others might enjoy freedoms. |
| 34110 Investigate the circus tent Something has occurred in the circus tent in Waukeen's Promenade... No one that goes in comes back out. The guard in front has agreed to allow me to enter to investigate. |
| 34111 Investigate the circus tent I have agreed to acquire a sword... from dangerous illusionary peasants... in order to free a winged elf from the illusion that binds her. |
| 34112 Find the boy's mother inside the circus tent A little boy is lost outside of the circus tent while his mother is apparently trapped inside. I will see if she is still within. |
| 34113 Find the boy's mother inside the circus tent I have found the mother of the boy outside the tent. Now I must see if I can restore her to her original form... along with the rest of this mad circus. |
| 34114 Investigate activities in the Copper Coronet's rooms The proprietor of the Copper Coronet has given me permission to enter the "back rooms" of his inn. I wonder what sort of secret and illegal services the man is offering back there... |
| 34115 Yes, yes, so you say, but you do not know. You are only an observer in this. |
| 34116 Your words ring true, but as a dishonored paladin, I am limited in what I can do. |
| 34117 You know nothing of me. You base your assumptions on storybooks and legend. |
| 34118 Free Hendak and the slaves It appears that the Copper Coronet is keeping slaves to perform its entertainments... I have talked to a slave by the name of Hendak and agreed to free his people. I will need a key that is currently held by the beastmaster located across the arena. |
| 34119 Free Hendak and the slaves I have freed the slaves of the Copper Coronet... only to find that there are yet more slaves being held in a dry-docked ship on the east side of the slums. Hendak mentioned there was a tunnel in the sewers that leads from the inn to the ship, but he didn't know exactly where it was. |
| 34120 Hide In Shadows |
| 34121 Detect Illusion |
| 34122 Set Traps |
| 34123 DETECT ILLUSION: While an adventurer searches for traps, <PRO_HISHER> well-trained eyes also allow <PRO_HIMHER> to detect the minor inconsistencies caused by illusion spells. This skill is the percentage chance per round of dispelling a nonfriendly illusion spell within 30 ft. |
| 34124 SET TRAPS: A Thief's skill in disarming traps allows <PRO_HIMHER> to create snares of <PRO_HISHER> own. |
| 34125 But observers take heart in your plight. You are the example, the unachievable goal that is forever ahead. Forgive my melodrama, but I believe it warranted. |
| 34126 You are never limited. You will fight on, as a warrior of light should. I am sorry if I sound melodramatic, but it is beings like you that have inspired me. |
| 34127 But the storybook is open before me, and the legend plays out around. I am sorry if I seem too melodramatic, but it is true. At least, to me it is. |
| 34128 My lady, I would restore your faith if I could, but all I can offer is lodging and perhaps my prayers. Have you a betrothed? If not, perhaps that is all you lack? |
| 34129 Er, not as such. |
| 34130 Yes, yes, I do, in fact. |
| 34131 You are not suggesting that you will fill the role, are you? |
| 34132 Then I shall be your betrothed. I will pine for your return while you smite evil in my name. That is, if you don't mind. I've read it's a very "paladin" thing to do. |
| 34133 Ahh, then our affection for each other will be all the more tragic and courtly. It's a very paladin-like thing to do, or so I've read. |
| 34134 I would never presume to make such a designation, but it would be a very "paladin" thing to do. Smiting evil in the name of your unattainable love. Or so I've read. |
| 34135 I do not seek to establish a relationship; I only sought to exercise a time-honored paladin tradition. I have not the means to organize a joust, you understand. |
| 34136 Then I shall take heart and strive on, knowing you believe in the acts I do. |
| 34137 Stealth |
| 34138 I appreciate the effort, but it is hollow comfort in this time. |
| 34139 I know you will persevere. I am sure of it. |
| 34140 He has been kind to me so far. I would not wish him harm. |
| 34141 He has taken a risk in helping me. It is up to him what happens next. |
| 34142 If his offer to help lands him in trouble, so be it. It is not my concern. |
| 34143 STEALTH: This skill allows the Ranger to move and escape detection. |
| 34144 Solve the riddle in the sewers A man named Quallo has mentioned something about a blade and clues being hidden in the sewer. I am to seek out these clues elsewhere in the sewer, presumably where the water drains from above. |
| 34145 Good day to you. ... You'll understand if I refuse to speak with you? I can discuss business only with the new guildmaster. |
| 34146 BASTARD SWORD: The bastard sword is a double-edged sword and can be wielded with one or two hands. It does more damage than a long sword but less than a two-handed sword. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34147 LONG SWORD: The long sword is perhaps one of the most common weapons in Faerûn. Skill with the long sword will allow your character to have access to a widely available and cheap weapon. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34148 SHORT SWORD: The preferred weapon of many a Thief and halfling, the short sword is a light but useful weapon. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34149 AXE: There are two varieties of axes: throwing axes and battle axes. This proficiency class allows your character to use either. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34150 TWO-HANDED SWORD: The hallmark of the traditional musclebound warrior is the two-handed sword. This proficiency class allows your character to use these heavy swords to mangle your opponents. NOTE: Magical two-handed weapons are more powerful than their single-handed counterparts. This counterbalances the fact that you can't use a second weapon or shield when using a two-handed weapon. The Holy Avenger and Vorpal Sword are examples of weapons that are two-handed. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34151 KATANA: The katana is the finest example of the swordsmith's craft, and requires great care to use. As skill develops, the wielder and blade become a single being, dedicated completely to the art of warfare. These weapons are hard to find outside of Kara-Tur, so care must be taken when considering this proficiency. After all, skill with the katana is only helpful if you can find one. WARNING: Magical katanas are very rare in Baldur's Gate 2! <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34152 SCIMITAR/WAKIZASHI/NINJATŌ: This weapon class allows the character to use various oriental swords, including the scimitar, the wakizashi, and the ninjat�. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34153 DAGGER: The dagger is generally used by Mages and Thieves. A small weapon, the dagger is still extremely useful, and many warriors take a proficiency slot in it just in case their larger weapons are stolen or destroyed. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34154 I am glad. He is a trusting sort. That is why Lord Jierdan Firkraag was able to usurp his lands. My father languishes while Jierdan lives the high-life. |
| 34155 He thinks you are a safe bet, though he was wrong before about Lord Jierdan Firkraag. I don't want him to be wrong again. He has to feel better about his life. |
| 34156 WAR HAMMER: This weapon class allows the character to use throwing hammers and war hammers. Both of these weapons are often associated with dwarven warriors, and it is the dwarven people who make the finest quality hammers. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34157 SPEAR: The spear is a useful weapon, giving the attacker the "reach" against most opponents. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34158 HALBERD: These long weapons are often carried by Fighters working as guards. The reach of the weapons allows crowds to be pushed back without much danger to the guard. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34159 FLAIL/MORNING STAR: The flail and morning star are blunt weapons used to knock your enemies senseless. They are difficult to use but with skill and practice these weapons are very useful. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34160 MACE: The mace is most often associated with Clerics. It is a powerful blunt weapon, similar to the club but designed to do more damage. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34161 QUARTERSTAFF: A simple weapon, but in the hands of a skilled warrior, whether Mage or Paladin, the quarterstaff can lay flat any foe. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34162 CROSSBOW: The crossbow, although smaller and easier to use than the longbow, is just as deadly in the hands of a skilled shot. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34163 LONGBOW: This weapon class allows the character to use longbows, both normal and composite. The longbow gives the archer maximum reach, and each arrow delivers a substantial amount of damage. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34164 SHORTBOW: This bow is often used by those classes (such as Thieves) who cannot use the larger longbow. It is more easily concealed than a longbow and, in the hands of a skilled user, just as deadly. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34165 DART: Darts are small missile weapons, thrown from the hand. Mages often use darts, as they are one of the few missile weapons Mages can employ. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34166 SLING: Although the sling is commonly thought of as a toy weapon, its lethality should not be underestimated. A strong bullet thrown from a sling by an experienced user can tear a hole through a man's skull. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 34167 BLACKJACK: This weapon class allows the character to use Blackjacks. |
| 34168 Solve the riddle in the sewers The ring I acquired from the skeletons, according to Quallo, belongs in neither the first nor the third pipe. |
| 34169 ARQUEBUS: This weapon class allows the character to use certain types of archaic firearms. |
| 34170 BRAWLING: This proficiency teaches the character how by using only their hands they can deflect their enemies attacks. They also learn how to attack, inflicting far more damage with just their hands than many can do with weapons. |
| 34171 TWO-HANDED: This fighting style allows the character to use a two-handed melee weapon and receive special bonuses. Proficient (1 slot): The wielder gets a +1 bonus to damage rolls, a -2 bonus to Speed Factor, and the ability to score critical hits on a roll of 19 or 20 (instead of just 20) when using a two-handed weapon. Specialized (2 slots): The wielder gets a further -2 bonus to Speed Factor. NOTE: Magical two-handed weapons are more powerful than their single-handed counterparts. This counterbalances the fact that you can't use a second weapon or shield when using a two-handed weapon. The Holy Avenger and Vorpal Sword are examples of weapons that are two-handed. |
| 34172 Solve the riddle in the sewers According to Quallo, Vallah's hand represents suffering... which is of prime importance. Presumably, he is referring to its order in the pipes. |
| 34173 SWORD AND SHIELD: Anyone can pick up a shield and get its basic protection bonuses, but by spending slots on this fighting style, an adventurer can maximize the benefits received. Proficient (1 slot): The wielder gets a -2 bonus to AC against missile weapons. Specialized (2 slots): The wielder gets a -4 bonus to AC against missile weapons. NOTE: Despite the name of this style, any one-handed melee weapon in combination with a shield will receive the aforementioned bonuses. |
| 34174 SINGLE-WEAPON: This fighting style is for characters who do not wish to use a shield but want some bonus when using a one-handed melee weapon. Proficient (1 slot): The wielder gets a -1 bonus to AC and inflicts critical damage on an attack roll of 19 or 20. Specialized (2 slots): The wielder gets a -2 bonus to AC and inflicts critical damage on an attack roll of 19 or 20. |
| 34175 It should be your concern. Please, we've had enough trouble from selfish people. Lord Jierdan Firkraag took advantage, and I will not have you do it too. |
| 34176 TWO-WEAPON: This fighting style allows the character to use two melee weapons at the same time with fewer penalties. A character wielding two weapons without a slot in this fighting style would incur a -4 penalty to attack rolls with the main weapon and a -8 penalty with the off-hand weapon. Proficient (1 slot): The wielder's penalties are reduced to -2 with the main weapon and -6 with the off-hand weapon. Specialized (2 slots): The wielder's penalties are reduced to 0 with the main weapon and -4 with the off-hand weapon. Master (3 slots): The wielder's penalties are reduced to 0 with the main weapon and -2 with the off-hand weapon. |
| 34177 You could do much to bolster my father's spirit. Bringing that Firkraag to task would help a lot. Please, if not for my father, then for yourself. |
| 34178 By Abbathor's arse! Who in the Hells are you? |
| 34179 You must be the Gorje that Unger spoke of. I've Unger's permission to be here. |
| 34180 'Tis none of your affair. Stand aside! |
| 34181 I am <GABBER>. Who are you? |
| 34182 Solve the riddle in the sewers The staff I acquired from the kobold shaman will "seal the deal," according to Quallo. |
| 34183 Collect the fee for Gaelan Bayle In the Athkatla slums, I met Gaelan Bayle, who seemed to know something about Imoen's capture. He has led me to his home in the far eastern side of the Slums District and bade me to enter, where we might discuss an offer of aid. |
| 34184 My lord, your presence is a boon to my heart. You are just as I pictured a Bringer of Light. Your shining spirit will guide us, even in your time of darkness. |
| 34185 Basic armor made of thick, wax or water-hardened leather. It is sturdy protection, not supple like boots or a cloak. Soft garment leathers like that would offer no more protection than common clothing. Magical enchantments have improved the protective abilities of this particular suit. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 6 (8 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 4 Strength Weight: 5 |
| 34186 Basic armor made of thick, wax or water-hardened leather. It is sturdy protection, not supple like boots or a cloak. Soft garment leathers like that would offer no more protection than common clothing. Magical enchantments have improved the protective abilities of this particular suit. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 5 (7 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 5 |
| 34187 Collect the fee for Gaelan Bayle Gaelan Bayle will connect me with a group who will aid in finding Imoen, but the price is 20,000 gp! A steep cost, but he did mention that it entailed crossing the Cowled Wizards, not something to be done lightly. Once I have the 20,000 gp, I am to speak to him again. |
| 34188 Meeting with Valen's mistress A strange woman has approached me and told me that another party is interested in aiding me, alluding to the fact that my current allies are not to be trusted... if I am interested, I am to meet her mistress at night in the Graveyard District and speak with her further. |
| 34189 Meeting with Valen's mistress A woman by the name of Valen has approached me, alluding that my current allies are untrustworthy and that her mistress can tell me more. She would not answer any of my questions, however, saying that her mistress would be the one to satisfy my curiosity. If I am interested, I am to meet her mistress at night in the Graveyard District. |

| 34192 I cannot imagine the horror, having had your will usurped in the trickery my father described. I know you will prevail though. Your spirit must surely be boundless. |
| 34193 I am sorry, I did not mean to gush, but I was raised on tales of paladins and chivalry. To meet one in person is exhilarating. You are as impressive as one in any storybook. |
| 34194 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Renal Bloodscalp, leader of the Shadow Thieves, has hired me to infiltrate the guild house of one of his underlings, a man by the name of Mae'Var. I am to find proof of Mae'Var's treachery while I work under him. Renal has given me papers that will allow me to pass as a member of the Shadow Thieves. I am to report to Gorch in Mae'Var's storefront. Once I have the proof, I am to return to Renal. |
| 34195 You will find the tales more epic than fact. I do not feel very heroic right now. |
| 34196 Your words are flattering, to be sure, but I am undeserving. |
| 34197 I thank you. I do try to be a model for others to emulate, even in times of trial. |
| 34198 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery I have gained access to Mae'Var's guild through Gorch, his storefront operator. There is a door in the back of the store that apparently leads to the rest of the guild house. So far, so good... |
| 34199 Your image of me is from a fairytale. There is no glory in what I endure now. |
| 34200 Even now you should not despair. A true paladin takes heart in his suffering, knowing that others take strength in his example. Remember what you are to people. |
| 34201 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Mae'Var has accepted me into his guild readily enough... and has given me my first task: Steal a golden statuette from the temple of Lathander. It must be done quietly, and I am to return to Mae'Var with it once the deed is done. |
| 34202 You see things through inexperienced eyes, m'lady. I only wish it were so. |
| 34203 Few will take strength from a dishonored paladin. There is little I can do. |
| 34204 I am not a simple storybook character. My situation is much more complicated. |
| 34205 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Mae'Var has accepted me into his guild readily enough and has given me my first task: Steal the amulet from the Weathermistress of the church of Talos. A difficult task, although Mae'Var seems certain that the Weathermistress removes the amulet at night. I am to return to Mae'Var once I have it. |
| 34206 But it can be. You are a champion of light despite your trials. Your sweet sorrow will strengthen your faith. I do not wish to stoop to theatrics, but it is warranted. |
| 34207 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery I have completed Mae'Var's task, and he seems content with me, for the moment. He has sent me to see his assistant, Edwin, who is on the third floor of the guild house. |
| 34208 There is nothing you can do to sway opinion, save acting as your heart directs. As a champion of light, you can do no other. I may be melodramatic, but it is still true. |
| 34209 Only as complicated as you make it. Your battle against darkness is not measured in people's opinions. You go on because of faith. Sorry for my theatrics, but it is true. |
| 34210 pick for me |
| 34211 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Mae'Var's assistant has turned out to be none other than the Thayan wizard I met on the Sword Coast. He has set me a task to kill one Rayic Gethras, a Cowled Wizard who lives in a three-story gray building on the west end of the Docks District. I will know that Gethras is home if his door is open. |
| 34212 I wish I could restore your name and spirit with will alone, but that is something you must do. All the stories of paladins I have read speak of such trials. |
| 34213 You have all that you need from a classical standpoint: trials to survive, evils to eradicate, and innocence to protect. Wait, perhaps that is it. Have you a betrothed? |
| 34214 No, m'lady, I have not established such a relationship. |
| 34215 Yes, I suppose that I have. |
| 34216 A quaint notion. You are not suggesting that you would fit the role, are you? |
| 34217 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Edwin has given me a second task. This time I am to go to the Sea's Bounty in the Docks District and obtain some documents from Marcus, a merchant, by whatever means I deem necessary. |
| 34218 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery I have returned Marcus's documents to Edwin, who tells me there is one further job to be performed before Mae'Var will trust me. I am to speak to the guildmaster forthwith. |
| 34219 Then that is all you are missing. A paladin needs tragic love to inspire him. Go forth knowing that you smite evil in my name. If, of course, it's all right with you. |
| 34220 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery I am to track down a traitorous thief by the name of Embarl, who Mae'Var informs me can be found at the Sea's Bounty on the second floor. I am to bring back the man's dagger as proof that he is dead. Perhaps this is my chance to obtain proof of Mae'Var's guilt! |
| 34221 Then consider ours a tragic affection that will never be realized. Just as the tales of courtly love are all about unrequited romance. |
| 34222 It is not my decision, though it would certainly be a paladin-like thing to do. You could "play the role" if it would make you feel more like your old self. |
| 34223 It is a time-honored tradition, or so the books say. I just want to restore some grandeur to your position. You shoulder the weight that others might walk unencumbered. |
| 34224 I will take great comfort in your faith. |
| 34225 A hollow gesture, though well-intentioned. |
| 34226 You will prevail. Of this I am sure. |
| 34227 You walk in my realm now, <CHARNAME>. Come to me, and this will end. Your crime against me will be answered, even in your ignorance. Come, to your death. |
| 34228 Come, paladin, and know who has destroyed you, piece by piece. Your crime against me will be answered, even as you are ignorant of the deed. Let us play. |

| 34230 Festule the Alchemist's Potion |
| 34231 The return to Harper Hold I met up with Jaheira at the Harper Hold, and she relayed to me that the Harpers there were not truly Harpers anymore... the lack of the specters on the second floor attested to this. She suggested that perhaps this was a splinter group seeking revenge, but was not sure. I was willing to take her out of the place, but not to have her rejoin my group. Disappointed and perhaps angry that I would leave her in a trap, she left to escape on her own. I doubt I will see her again. |
| 34232 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery I have allowed Embarl to leave, alive, and have taken his dagger to bring to Mae'Var. Hopefully Mae'Var is not having me followed so closely as to notice this small, merciful deception. |
| 34233 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Embarl mentioned that he had overheard Mae'Var planning on assassinating Renal... I wonder if this is something Renal would want to hear. Regardless, I've no proof to offer him. |
| 34234 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Embarl is dead, for good or ill... I will need to bring Mae'Var his dagger in order to prove that the deed is done. |
| 34235 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Mae'Var trusts me well enough and has accepted me into the guild. Perhaps now I have time to look around and see if there is any evidence to be had. Edwin might know something, but only if it is in his best interests, I am sure. |
| 34236 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Edwin knows of my deception in joining Mae'Var's guild and has given me the key to a box in Mae'Var's quarters, which is on the second floor. The box probably has the evidence that Renal needs. Edwin himself has gone to the Copper Coronet. |
| 34237 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Edwin knows of my deception in joining Mae'Var and has opted to join with me. He said there may be a letter contained in a strongbox in Mae'Var's quarters. This would be evidence enough for Renal, I am sure. |
| 34238 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Edwin assures me that the letter I have taken from Mae'Var's room is the right one... and has bade me go to Renal with great speed! |
| 34239 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Renal Bloodscalp refuses to give me my due reward for exposing Mae'Var unless I also eliminate the guildmaster and his thieves! I have refused, but Renal told me he would wait, for a while, for me to change my mind. |
| 34240 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Renal approved of the letter I brought him as sufficient evidence to damn Mae'Var and has asked that I be the one to go and end the guildmaster's life. After the deed is done, I must return to Renal and collect my just reward. |
| 34241 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery As I suspected, the tale of Embarl's alone is not enough to damn Mae'Var. Renal has sent me back to the guild to collect actual, physical evidence of the guildmaster's treachery. |
| 34243 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Mae'Var has been exposed and his execution ordered... once he is dead, I must return to Renal and tell him that the deed is done. |
| 34244 Seek out and investigate the Fallen Paladins Ryan Trawl of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart has hired me to seek out and ally myself with a group called the Fallen Paladins. They are reported to be in the Bridge District and led by a former knight named Anarg. If I think the group is a threat, I am to do whatever is necessary and then report back to Sir Ryan. |
| 34245 Seek out and investigate the Fallen Paladins I have spoken to Reynald de Chatillon, a member of the Fallen Paladins, who promises to introduce me to Anarg if I can get ahold of a cup that belonged to Anarg and is still in the possession of the Order. The cup, it seems, is largely ceremonial but important to Anarg personally. |
| 34246 Seek out and investigate the Fallen Paladins Ryan Trawl has agreed to give me Anarg's Cup, although he did so only reluctantly. Once the mission is done, he expects the Cup to be returned to the Order. |
| 34247 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District The lieutenant mentioned that there was a series of grisly murders occurring in the Bridge District. Someone is murdering the poor in the streets and removing their skins in a hideous fashion. He mentioned that a child, Faraji, saw the most recent victim... and also mentioned a beggar, Rampah, and a courtesan, Rose, as being involved in his investigation somehow. |
| 34248 Ah! Run! Hide! There is trouble, I am sure! |
| 34249 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District The courtesan, Rose, thought she remembered a smell at the murder scene... she said it was akin to guril berries, but couldn't place it exactly. She directed me to Bel, a merchant, who she stated would know more about things that smelled like the berries and offered to differentiate between the odors that Bel thought of. |
| 34250 Slow down, Jum, you'll alarm our guests. What is wrong? |
| 34251 Quiet yourself, Jum; you don't want to alarm our guests. What is the matter? |
| 34252 Bandits! I saw them! Coming! They try not to be seen, but I saw them! Nearly here! Hide and run! |
| 34253 Bandits? I'll make short work of them. |
| 34254 I wonder what they are up to. I'd better go look. |
| 34255 If they are not bothering anyone, they are of no concern. |
| 34256 Good and good! Garren away, so no one here to guard the home. I'll go hide in the hills, I think! |
| 34257 Good and good, because I'm not going near them myself, and there's no one else here to protect the home. I'll go hide in the hills, I think! |
| 34258 They a concern to me! I'm not going near them again, and nobody else is here to protect. I'll go hide in the hills, I think! |
| 34259 Now, Jum, I can help if need be. We also have our guest, so I doubt there will be trouble. A fine opportunity and I'm sure he'll take care of everything. |
| 34260 <CHARNAME>, I give you the opportunity to earn back your honor, and more. This game is interesting, but it drags on and on. Come, let us meet and decide who is the better "person." In the northeast is our battleground. You will know it to see it. Yes, I think you will know. |

| 34265 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District I was able to get a piece of strange leather from the beggar, Rampah, who claimed that it was not human flesh. He found it near one of the victims, however, and suggested that I speak to the "seller that buys," which I assume to mean a merchant, to find out exactly what it is. |
| 34266 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District The boy, Faraji, claimed that the victim who was killed was a man by the name of Bilver, and that the fellow had no enemies to speak of. The boy seemed sure that the person responsible was a "witch" by the name of Missus Cragmoon and that I should go and speak to her... although her so-called crimes seem fairly innocent. |
| 34267 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District I spoke to Missus Cragmoon... it seems that, while she is a magic-user (the boy was apparently right about the witch part), she doesn't seem to have anything at all to do with the murders. |
| 34268 Mimic Glue |
| 34269 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District The merchant, Bel, identified the strange piece of leather as elephant hide. Certainly difficult to find in this city, although Bel thought that a tanner might be able to get ahold of some. He also mentioned that a circus was in town... While he didn't know if they had elephants or not, the circus animal tamer might also be one who could get such a hide. |
| 34270 Mimic Glue |
| 34271 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District Bel told me that there were three things that smelled like guril berries: guril berries themselves, oak bark, and solik berries. He gave me a sample of each... with which I can probably go back to Rose and get her to compare the odors. |
| 34272 I am not incapable of defense, though this might be a task more suited to our guest. She has a score to settle, perhaps? I'm sure everything will be fine. |

| 34276 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District The courtesan, Rose, tested the three samples Bel gave me and identified the oak bark as the one that the murderer smelled of, only much stronger. The bark is used to make tannin, so it is likely that the murderer worked with leather in some way. |
| 34277 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District I informed the lieutenant that the murderer had tannin on him and that elephant hide had been found near the scene. The lieutenant decided that the tanner must be responsible for the murders and left to check the matter out. He went by himself... I certainly hope that the lieutenant will be all right. |

| 34281 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District It appears that the tanner, Rejiek, is the one responsible for the murders. He made some comment about his "craft" or "work," but it is obvious that he must be made to pay for his heinous crimes. |

| 34287 Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District Rejiek was obviously responsible for the murders, according to his own words... and the wizard, Vellin Dahn, in the back of his shop was allied with him and spoke of a larger work that was being performed. I am unsure if this ends here or not, but the tanner has certainly escaped for now. The mage must have spirited him away. |

| 34290 Help Vittorio collect his debt I've agreed to help a poor fellow named Vittorio collect a debt owed to him by a fellow named Dennis. I am to go to the second floor of Delosar's Inn and confront the man with Vittorio. |
| 34291 Recover Dennis's mother's gong It seems that Dennis isn't quite the culprit Vittorio made him out to be. Vittorio stole the man's gong... or at least his mother's... and I have agreed to go and find the gong and return it. Vittorio says that he sold it to a fence by the name of Roger, who has his shop in the sewers. Dennis will hold on to Vittorio until I return with the gong, apparently. |
| 34292 Mistress Eina |
| 34293 Mistress Eina |
| 34294 Kill Roger's sea troll I have agreed to hunt down and kill a sea troll that has been plaguing Roger the Fence down in the sewers. |
| 34295 Recover Dennis's mother's gong Lovely. It seems that Roger sold the gong to a troll shaman by the name of Grae who lives in a troll mound near Trademeet. She's not likely to be alone, either. What a troll shaman would want with a gong I can't even begin to imagine. |
| 34296 Recover Dennis's mother's gong Grae the troll shaman doesn't seem to have the gong, either. She sold it to Drush, an ogre mage who lives in a tower northeast of the troll mound. I just can't wait to find out who HE sold it to. |
| 34297 Nelleck |
| 34298 Nelleck |
| 34299 Recover Dennis's mother's gong Well, finally! Drush the ogre mage DOES have the gong... he's using it to shovel cow dung, of all things (and, really, what else is a gong good for?) and he's not about to part with it for anything less than a wand of frost. He suggested that Adratha, a witch who lives next to him, might have one... but any wand of frost would really do. |
| 34300 Recover Dennis's mother's gong Drush gave me the gong (and WHEW does it stink!)... I suppose all that remains now is to return it to Dennis at Delosar's in Athkatla. |
| 34301 Find the kidnappers who buried Tirdir Tirdir mentioned that three people kidnapped him and buried him alive, but he doesn't know their names. The one that brought him here was dressed all in bright red. Tirdir tore a scrap off his cloak. Perhaps it will assist me in identifying the culprit. |
| 34302 Find the kidnappers who buried Tirdir Tirdir also said there was a second man present when he was buried. He thought that it might be the gravekeeper, but he wasn't sure. The gravekeeper must surely know something, regardless. |

| 34307 Find the kidnappers who buried Tirdir The gravekeeper, Sethle, made a habit of looking the other way when the kidnappers buried people alive here. The man in red was his contact, but Sethle could only say that he is sometimes in the Bridge District. |
| 34308 Yes, very busy. And so are your clothes... very vividly red, in fact. |
| 34309 Sorry to bother you. |
| 34310 Yes, well, think twice about it next time! Hmph! |
| 34311 Find the kidnappers who buried Tirdir I found the man in red responsible for Tirdir, but he seems to fear his partners more than any punishment at my hands. He fled into a house, and no doubt that is where his fellow conspirators will be. |
| 34312 To shatter the peace, to ruin your name, to torment that old fool Garren. Above all, we are to deliver a message, a message to you! A challenge is given! |
| 34313 We have all that serve Lord Firkraag, regardless of race. If it serves to distract, all the better! Your destruction will continue regardless, at Firkraag's request! |
| 34314 You seek Lord Firkraag? He seeks you as well, though only once you are destroyed! A challenge is issued, if you live to face it! |
| 34315 Find the kidnappers who buried Tirdir I found the hideout of the kidnappers who were burying their victims in the graveyard. I freed the current victim, Lady Elgea, who was relieved to be free and offered her eternal gratitude. |
| 34316 Lord Firkraag watches with amusement as you die a public death again and again! So much more entertaining than simple killing! |
| 34317 That friends of yours wronged him is all that matters. The magnitude is irrelevant! Now you are destroyed, and your reputation fails! Revenge against you is revenge against those that are safe in the arms of death! |
| 34318 But what have I done to offend him? What crime could be so great? |
| 34319 I will answer his threats in kind! He cannot harm me! |
| 34320 He already has! Your reputation is defiled, and if we kill you now, your memory will live on in shame! This is revenge against those beyond reach, against friends of yours that were enemies long past! |
| 34321 He already has, fallen one, and he will do so again! Each strike to your reputation is revenge, revenge against those that knew you and wronged him! If we kill you, your memory will still live on in shame! Die! |
| 34322 I will answer his threats in kind! He cannot harm me! |
| 34323 Detonate |

| 34327 I will answer his threats in kind! He cannot harm me! |
| 34328 I will answer his threats in kind! He cannot harm me! |
| 34329 Lady Jysstev, I must ask a favor of you. There is a little girl that is sick, and I think that you may have knowledge that can help her... I need to find the Hidden. |
| 34330 Who might you be, and why are you in my estate? |
| 34331 My daughter is gone! I left this place in your care! I... I... no, no, I know it was not you... I know who my enemies are. Damn that Jierdan Firkraag! What is his grief with me?! |
| 34332 Ego Whip |
| 34333 This must end! I cannot live under the shadow, underâ€â€his heel! |
| 34334 I would see it end as well. I will rescue your child, no matter the risk. |
| 34335 I would know what he wishes with me as well! I will seek him for both our sakes! |
| 34336 What of your contact in the Radiant Heart? Am I still to be killed? |
| 34337 Put the spirit of the child Wellyn to rest I encountered the restless spirit of a small boy, Wellyn, in the graveyard and agreed to return his stuffed bear to him so that he might be at peace. According to the spirit, the bear (named Littleman... I suppose every halfling child must have a toy named Littleman, if you think about it) is in the possession of the thief who murdered the child... the thief's name is Llynis and is in one of the rooms at the Copper Coronet. |
| 34338 I thank you, though I don't know where you will find him. His hooligans prevent searching. I don't know... Perhaps the ruins in the northeast? I don't know... |
| 34339 What? Is that your only concern? My child is taken, and you think only of yourself? Are you sure it was the illusions that dishonored you? |
| 34340 Githyanki |
| 34341 Fine, I shall rescue my family on my own. You are free to walk where you will. My petitions on your "virtue" were answered positively. Enjoy your "honor." |
| 34342 I will find your kin, rest assured! |
| 34343 I will take vengeance for you as well, no matter where he hides! |
| 34344 I will find your child, rest assured. I was just being thorough. |
| 34345 My primary goals are own interests. Now I will take vengeance for us both. |
| 34346 I thank you. You will travel unmolested, for my pleas of your virtue were heard at the Radiant Heart. They demand justice for the slain, so that is your task now. |
| 34347 I just want my child. Oh, you will travel without interference from the Radiant Heart. They demand justice for the slain, and you are to carry it out. |
| 34348 I will believe you for now, but only if you return my child to me. Please, help me. |
| 34349 Please rescue my child. I cannot bear to think of what Jierdan Firkraag might do. Please, end this. |
| 34350 They say not to tell Garren, so I don't. This message meant for you. Bandits give it to me, and then let me live. It is for you. I'm leaving now. |
| 34351 I'm sure you will take care of everything. |
| 34352 I'm sure you'll be able to handle everything. |
| 34353 Thank the gods! Free me, and we shall away! I fear the locks are magical; the mage that brought me had some sort of key. I don't know how you might obtain it. |
| 34354 Thank you! We must away from this place! Meet me back at my father's cabin. |
| 34355 I knew you would come! Free me, and we shall take flight! I... think the locks are magical. The mage that brought me had a sort of key, but I don't know how to get it. |
| 34356 Thank you! Now, before I pass out from fear, I must escape this place. Meet me back at my father's cabin. |
| 34357 I cannot believe that it is over! You have done the unimaginable! My rescue, and the destruction of Firkraag... it is astounding! |
| 34358 I cannot believe that it is over! You have done the unimaginable! My rescue, and the destruction of Firkraag... it is astounding! |
| 34359 We are safe once again, but for how long? Something is... unfinished in this. A powerful evil lurks in the dark. I shall sleep restlessly from now on, I think. |
| 34360 We are safe once again, but for how long? Something is... unfinished in this. A powerful danger lurks in the dark. I shall sleep restlessly from now on, I think. |
| 34361 Your honor is no doubt restored, and your name will inspire generations! Such an epic; I knew you had it in you! You shall be the Bringer of Light in my storybooks now. |
| 34362 You have gone above and beyond the call, I think. An epic battle that will be remembered for ages. I thank you. |
| 34363 Your honor is no doubt restored in full! Such an epic, I knew you had it in you! You shall be the Bringer of Light in my storybooks now. |
| 34364 You have gone above and beyond the call, I think. An epic battle that will be remembered for ages. I thank you. |
| 34365 My heart is free, and I have you to thank. With the creature gone, my lands are free, and the dead that fell before you are avenged. I thank you as they would. |
| 34366 Your honor and my child are restored. I thank you. The creature lives; I will not rest easy at night, but I have my child and I could not ask for more than that. |
| 34367 What of my child? What has happened? |
| 34368 How goes your search? What has happened? |
| 34369 Well, it's like this. Jierdan was a dragon. He is now dead. Sadly, so is your child. |
| 34370 I... uh... sorta got your child killed. My bad. |
| 34371 I freed this land from a great and terrible menace! Oh, and your child is dead. |
| 34372 What kind of end is this?! Get out! Get out! I... I cannot remain hereâ€â€I must leave! Why do the gods torment me so?! |
| 34373 Actually, Lord Jierdan is a dragon, and your child is dead. |
| 34374 I got your kid killed. Jierdan is still alive as well. Sorry. |
| 34375 Ehh, all gone to hell in handbasket. Your child is dead, and the villain lives. |
| 34376 I rejoice at Jierdan's death, but... but what kind of end is this if the child dies? I ask you... I... I must go. P-please... excuse me... |
| 34377 The hero retreats! You are very bad at this game, <CHARNAME>. Cower as you will, I will wait and watch while you live with your cowardice. I have the patience of a thousand years behind! |
| 34378 The wise <PRO_MANWOMAN> retreats! Go, hero, and tell people of your failure! Live with it! Hold and caress it, for it is truly yours! I will watch and wait, and welcome you back when you regain your nerve! I am very patient. Very patient. |
| 34380 None shall see me... though my battle cry may give me away. |
| 34381 I turned to shield Boo and have lost my spell. I am NOT sorry. |
| 34382 Locate a caretaker for the orphan Risa I ran into a priest of Lathander named Arenthis, who is looking for a guardian for his young charge, Risa. If there were only someone noble enough who were free and willing to take care of the girl, I would recommend them. |
| 34383 Locate a caretaker for the orphan Risa A priest of Lathander is in the graveyard looking for someone to take care of his orphaned charge, Risa. I think it is doubtful that even I could find someone to actually take the girl in. |
| 34384 Locate a caretaker for the orphan Risa Arenthis, the priest, seems to think that the paladin I encountered... Kamir was his name... might make an excellent guardian for his orphaned girl. Kamir thinks himself responsible for his son's death... perhaps he might see this as some kind of atonement... who knows? |
| 34385 Help Kamir the paladin There is a paladin in the graveyard named Kamir who is mourning the loss of his adopted son, whom he failed to protect and, in so doing, broke a vow. The paladin seemed to be a complete wreck over the matter. |
| 34386 A cult of the eyeless? Some form of new religion or cult has been formed in the city, centered on a god called "the Unseeing Eye." A priest of some kind whose own eyes were missing spoke to a crowd, calling on them to shed their "false sight" and join in the worship of this new god. |
| 34387 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless After viewing the eyeless priest's speech, I was approached by a cleric of Talos obviously offended by his words. He commanded that I be the vessel of Talos's revenge. He ordered me to present myself at the temple of Talos to speak to him further on this matter. |
| 34388 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless After witnessing the eyeless priest's speech, I was approached by a priest of Helm who expressed a need to investigate this new cult further. He asked me to follow him to the temple of Helm to discuss the matter further. |
| 34389 Wellyn: 10 years our son until he was most foully slain. He is missed. |
| 34390 Jeeves: A gentleman and a butler. |
| 34391 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless After witnessing the eyeless priest's speech, I was approached by a cleric of Lathander who bade me to come to the temple of Lathander to speak with him further regarding performing a service for the temple and investigating this new cult. |
| 34392 That twit! Did he send you to rescue me? |
| 34393 No. I'm looking for illithium. |
| 34394 Uh... yes. |
| 34395 Idiot! This is my stake. Go feed yourselves to the beast below us! |
| 34396 The beast? |
| 34397 Fine. I'm leaving. |
| 34398 Good riddance, surface scum! I'm for finding a new place to hide. Your type disgusts me. |
| 34399 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have agreed to work for Nallabir, the head cleric of the Temple of Talos in Athkatla. I must find the temple of this "Unseeing Eye" and determine the truth about what is occurring. I should "get in through lies or force, whichever is suitable," and eliminate the cult if it is a threat. Nallabir said that the temple was far below the ground, and access to it likely exists in the sewers through some passage. The Talassans will help me in whatever fashion they can, although the temple's Talons cannot aid me directly as they must defend the temple against true attack, should it come. |
| 34400 Gorje Hilldark is the name. I own this place along with no-good brother, Unger. |
| 34401 So all of these orcs and so forth are your servants? |
| 34402 Nice to meet you. I'll be going now. |
| 34403 Why are you here? |
| 34404 Illithium?! He told you? That drunken fool! That simpering idiot! That ale-guzzling worm farmer! Where is he? I'll kill him! (Won't rescue me, but will send a bunch of surfacers to loot the place...) |
| 34405 So the illithium is here. Relax, I just want a little bit and I'll be on my way. |
| 34406 Your brother is at the Copper Coronet pining for his lost cavern of riches. How is it that you are still here with all of the monsters about? |
| 34407 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have agreed to investigate this cult of the "Unseeing Eye" for Oisig, cleric of Helm. He has offered the services of his temple for healing and equipment, and in exchange I must look into this cult and see what is occurring. The temple of the cult is below ground, and access to it is likely to be found through the sewers, although Oisig could not say exactly where. I should infiltrate them "as friend or conqueror." |
| 34408 As you must know, these ruins have been invaded by a group of beasties, and something enormous has made its home below us. Is the way clear behind you? Is there a safe way out? |
| 34409 What is this enormous thing that you speak of? |
| 34410 I'm sorry. I barely snuck by the beasts myself. Unless you're willing to fight your way out, you're stuck here. |
| 34411 The path is clear. You can escape. |
| 34412 I'm not sure what it is. It burned its way through the very earth and now has made its home in a cavern below us. I'm happy to avoid it. Now tell me, is there a safe way out of this prison? |
| 34413 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have agreed to investigate the cult of this "Unseeing Eye" for Mornmaster Arval, high priest of the temple of Lathander. I must investigate as I see fit, infiltrating "as friend or foe." The temple of the cult lies far below ground, apparently, and there should be a passage to it from the sewers... although the Mornmaster could not say exactly where. The Mornmaster also offered me the services of his church with regards to healing and equipment, should I need them. |
| 34414 I'm sorry. I barely snuck by the beasts myself. Unless you're willing to fight your way out, you're stuck here. |
| 34415 The path is clear. You can escape. |
| 34416 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have spoken to Gaal, leader of this cult. His "god" is nothing more than a blind beholder. I can't imagine a beholder without its eyes, but it seems to be the case. In order to gain admittance, I have agreed to descend to the lower levels of the dungeon the cult inhabits and return with a particular rod for the beholder. The rod sits on an altar, apparently, but nothing more was said about it. Gaal gave me a key that allows access to this area. |
| 34417 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have informed the cleric of Talos of the nature of this beholder cult, and he has commanded me to return to the temple and find a way to destroy the creature. |
| 34418 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have informed Oisig of the nature of this beholder cult... and he has commanded me to return to the temple below and destroy the creature. I am unsure how this is to be accomplished, but it must be done somehow. |
| 34419 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have informed the Mornmaster about the nature of the beholder cult, and he has commanded me to destroy the creature and stop the blindings and enslavement of its followers. I do not know how this can be done, but I must find a way. |
| 34420 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I've stumbled across Sassar, who was once the high priest for the beholder until he learned of the creature's true intentions. It has come to this place to recover a piece of a powerful rod that lies in the dungeons below, the match to the piece it already has. Many in the cult have been sent below to make the attempt, and all have apparently failed. Sassar claims that the gods cursed the rod because of its great power, but he couldn't tell me more. He did say, however, that the only way to destroy the beholder would be to use the rod against it. I must retrieve the part of the rod below, and then Sassar will tell me how to steal the other half from the beholder. |
| 34421 Keep laughing at poor Gorje, abandoned by his fear-filled twerp of a brother. Listen, fool! These creatures are the reason why this cavern of ours has no more value. Our shipping routes are closed unless you've carved a path to the door. |
| 34422 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I have encountered the so-called guardians of the dungeon below. They seem to have forgotten why they are there or what they are guarding. The one I spoke to did not believe I could do anything to free him. According to him, the guardians are trapped here, bound by a duty that has long since lapsed into redundancy. They cannot even remember which god did this to them... or they will not speak his name out of spite. They have nothing but loathing for whomever that might be. |

| 34424 I'm sorry. I barely snuck by the beasts myself. Unless you're willing to fight your way out, you're stuck here. |
| 34425 The path is clear. You can escape. |
| 34426 I'm here because my ruins have been invaded, and my brother has left me to die, the drunken idiot. |
| 34427 Your brother, Unger, I have seen at the Copper Coronet in Athkatla, pining for his lost illithium. |
| 34428 Why don't you leave? The path to the door has been cleared of beasts for the time being. |
| 34429 I'm afraid you're stuck. I barely made it here alive as it is. |
| 34430 Unger is an even bigger fool than you for thinking that one as incompetent as you could rescue me. I shall have to find a way out before I go mad. |
| 34431 At last! I'm leaving for my kin-hold and my idiot brother. I don't suggest that you try to steal my illithium. The wards shall surely destroy you. |
| 34432 If you want illithium, you'll have to make it through the wards. Good luck. I should wish to see you die, but it is too dangerous. I'll find a safer place to hide until you're dead. |
| 34433 You are here to have me cure this girl, Jaella. |
| 34434 Yes, I am. |
| 34435 I wish nothing from you. |
| 34436 We are something of which you have no right to have knowledge. Someday, I shall find a way to deal with Gerhardt's ravings. For now, what do you wish? |
| 34437 I wish to ask a boon of you. |
| 34438 I want nothing from you. |
| 34439 I remind you that you wished to have this meeting. I do not take such interruptions lightly, nor do I let a useless person see me and live. |
| 34440 It was not a question, fool. I do this because you have an aura of usefulness about you. Do a task for me, and I shall heal the damage done to the girl's mind. |
| 34441 Agreed. |
| 34442 What is the task? |
| 34443 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa I have met with the Hidden in the sewers... a strange and mysterious creature that knew why I was there before I even said anything. He directed me to kill two evil creatures that are hunting him. I can locate them through a contact of theirs... the proprietor of an inn in the Docks District called the Sea's Bounty... he will know me as legitimate if I tell him that I am a "Seeker." Once I have done the deed, I am to return to him and he will cure the girl. |
| 34444 How do you know Gerhardt? Is he a part of the Enlightened Ones? |
| 34445 No more stupid questions. |
| 34446 Good. I am being stalked by two creatures of evil intent. You will destroy these two for me, and you will do it well. Is that clear? |
| 34447 Why are they hunting you? |
| 34448 It is clear. |
| 34449 I said without question. Try to wrap your mind around the concept and listen. |
| 34450 This chase has gone on too long, and I grow bored. The two have a contact in the proprietor of a dingy flophouse in the Docks District called the Sea's Bounty. |
| 34451 He will not believe that you have found me without the code words. Tell him that you are a Seeker. He will tell you where the two lie, waiting for word of my whereabouts. |
| 34452 Betray me to them and I assure you, both the girl and you shall die before I do. Go now, and return when they are dead. |
| 34453 You return without results. Do the job or I shall leave the girl to her fate. |
| 34454 Well done. The girl is healed. Leave me now. |
| 34455 Wait! Who are you that you should have githyanki on your trail? |
| 34456 How do I know she is healed? |
| 34457 Goodbye. |
| 34458 If others should come looking for me, you know nothing. Tell them otherwise and I will kill you. I shall go. |
| 34459 Fool! Do you not yet understand? |
| 34460 There is your answer. Puzzle through it at your leisure. |
| 34461 I am a Seeker. |
| 34462 So you've found something, mate? These blokes'd be interested in it. Go to the Five Flagons tavern in the Bridge District, in a room on the second floor. |
| 34463 The blokes that want to hear what ye can tell them are in there. |
| 34464 Ho, Seeker. What information do you have of our prey? |
| 34465 (A voice rings out within your mind.) Hold, brother! I sense treachery! |
| 34466 You dare to betray the githyanki, manling? Taste righteous death and know that your master will be next! |
| 34467 I only wish to ask you a question, Lady Jysstev. |
| 34468 I'm sorry to bother you. I will leave. |
| 34469 What is it? Make it quick; I've a tea to arrange. |
| 34470 I need to find someone called the Hidden. |
| 34471 The Hidden? But you are not one of the Enlightened Ones! |
| 34472 Please, I must find him. There is a girl who is very ill, and I've been told that he can help her. |
| 34473 Who are the Enlightened Ones? |
| 34474 I shall find the man myself. |
| 34475 But it is forbidden to speak of him. |
| 34476 Look, m'lady. I already know of him. What harm could it be to tell me where to find him? |
| 34477 Fine. I shall find him myself. |
| 34478 I should not have said anything. Please! You must go before I get myself into any more trouble. |
| 34479 Look, m'lady. I already know of him. What harm could it be to tell me where to find him? |
| 34480 Fine. I shall find him myself. |
| 34481 There is a girl who is ill? I should not say anything. |
| 34482 A girl called Jaella. You can help her be healed by telling me where the Hidden can be found. |
| 34483 Forget it. I shall find the man myself. |
| 34484 I do not know where he is. Perhaps I can arrange a meeting. Oh, he shall be so angry! |
| 34485 Listen, then. Below the cursed hole of avarice called the Copper Coronet, there lies a maze of sewer shafts. Find the place if you can. The entrance lies within the tavern somewhere. |
| 34486 I shall ask the Hidden to meet you there, but I do not know where he will be or if he will show up at all. This is all that I can do. Go now before you are seen here! |
| 34487 There is nothing more that I can do. Find the sewers beneath the Copper Coronet and perhaps the Hidden will grant an audience. |
| 34488 Yes, I will try to find the Hidden and a cure for Jaella. |
| 34489 I'm afraid I cannot. |
| 34490 I'm glad it worked. |
| 34491 Thank you for everything! Jaella is well. |
| 34492 Yes, thank you! Jan, I have to go downstairs now. Perhaps you should wait up here. |
| 34493 Lissa, what's going on? Why should I wait up here? |
| 34494 You wouldn't understand, Jan. Vaelag is here to get Jaella and me. |
| 34495 Vaelag! Why? What is happening? |
| 34496 I need to know some details about what is going on in the village. |
| 34497 Investigate the deaths in the Umar Hills With the ogres eliminated as a possible source of the murders, Minister Lloyd has suggested that perhaps I go to the ranger Merella's cabin to the southwest of the village and look for clues there. |
| 34500 I think it unlikely you would be captured or wooed to the enemy. If you go to the docks and bolster the guard on the shipments, it will strengthen our position. |
| 34502 The wizard is dead, and you are free... whoever you are. |
| 34503 Pretty words, and you're free to fly, if you wish. I would rather that you were my friend, all things considered. |
| 34504 I have no intention of searching through this place, Haer'Dalis. Begone, if that is your wish. |
| 34505 You're too late. Jaella is dead. She wasted away while you were gone. |
| 34506 I'm truly sorry, Jan. I tried to save her. |
| 34507 Who cares? It's just a child of a man you hate. |
| 34508 It doesn't matter. She's dead, and Lissa has left. I might as well go with you. I have nowhere else to go. |
| 34509 I welcome you back, Jan. I'm sure you'll be back to your old chipper self soon enough. |
| 34510 I think you should stay here with your family. You're in no shape to go adventuring. |
| 34511 Perhaps you're right. I'll be here if you need me. |
| 34512 I care because she was also the daughter of the woman I love. |
| 34513 Hello, my friend. The girl has been saved, but only temporarily, I fear. Lissa has taken her daughter back to the man who abused her. There is nothing I can do. |
| 34514 I think it would be better if you stay here. |
| 34515 Welcome back. |
| 34516 Finally, you have arrived. Let us return to the trail. |
| 34517 Welcome back. |
| 34518 What happened to you, Jan? What was the emergency? |
| 34519 I think that you should stay at home for the time being. |
| 34520 I don't want to speak of it. Shall we go? |
| 34521 We shall. Welcome back. |
| 34522 I think that you should stay here. |
| 34523 May I remind you that we have to go and see my family? It sounds urgent. |
| 34524 I'm no longer fond of you, you turnipless boob. Get thee to a brewery! |
| 34525 To the Government District then. Some clerk will know these mages. |
| 34526 I will find my own way, and... *cough*... and damned if I won't live to see you die on this path you've chosen. Ah, I will waste no more breath on you! |
| 34527 Where's that blasted chicken? Methinks he swiped me sausage. |
| 34528 You wish me gone! I *cough* I shall seek help on my own. A word before I go: Beware your friends. No doubt they will eventually treat you as you treat them. |
| 34529 He was irredeemable when he was on trial. He lives because he "donated" to the state. I will make good use of our next meeting, but not just because of his attack. |
| 34530 A dream. A dream of many things, of friends and family. These things always mean something... |
| 34531 Don't they? |
| 34532 Do you remember these doors? I remember... I think... |
| 34533 Yes, this was my home for so long, but it is too late to go back. They wouldn't have you now. They wouldn't have me. Had no use... |
| 34534 Someone else does. He wants something; I... I don't know why. Those in the cowls don't even know. Why don't I know? |
| 34535 Do you remember Gorion? Or the others? I think I do. They were... no... Wait... |
| 34536 They were the guidance, and there was much more to learn, but it's too late now. They are so far away... |
| 34537 You are far away... too far away to help... Why? Memories should stay, but he digs deeper... pushes everything aside. |
| 34538 I don't remember any of you. |
| 34539 Two of our men, Jaylos and Caehan by name, are planning to leave our little community and join with our enemies. Greener grass and all of that, I suppose. |
| 34540 They are to meet their contact on the second floor of the Five Flagons tavern in the Bridge District. Go there and pose as one of our enemy's new recruits. |
| 34541 I want to know where our enemy's lair is. We have yet to find it. This recruiter could arrive at any time so I suggest that you go to the Five Flagons now. |
| 34542 Do you remember Sarevok? Or any other? I... I don't know... |
| 34543 They sought your death and mine. They seemed so important at the time, but I... I don't remember them at all. Something else is... |
| 34544 Something else is more dangerous... closer... I can feel it... |

| 34556 Well, hurry and get to the Five Flagons! We may have already missed the moment. |
| 34557 It is a portrait of what has happened and what may happen. Do you cling to the past, or can you see through the pain? |

Instead, we will visit Magistrate Bylanna Ianulin and see if this matter can be resolved within the boundaries of the law. The magistrate can be found in the government building in the Government District. |
| 34659 Anomen returns home after his sister's death Since it seems that the courts can do nothing regarding the death of Anomen's sister, I have advised him to seek out this Saerk and take vengeance. Saerk can be found in a large mansion in the Bridge District. |

| 34661 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family Keldorn has become anxious to visit his estate and family in the Government District of Athkatla. I get the feeling that if I do not go with him soon, he will decide to go by himself. |
| 34662 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family Keldorn's wife has betrayed him by spending her time with another man... a crime that can only be answered by imprisonment. Keldorn wishes to handle the grave task alone... he will return to the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart building in three hours or so, and I can meet him there then. |
| 34663 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family Keldorn is full of grief at discovering that his wife has been spending time with another man. He cannot talk to her... but he can join me in tracking down this Sir William of Thorpe and confronting him. Keldorn said that Sir William frequents the Mithrest, an inn in Waukeen's Promenade. |
| 34664 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family Keldorn has left the party to seek out Sir William on his own. He said that if he is not at the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart within two days' time... then he is likely dead. Either way, I should look for him there then. |
| 34665 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family Keldorn has left the party to reconcile with his wife. He said he would return to the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart after he was finished, perhaps after three days or so. I will look for him there then. |
| 34666 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family Regardless of how I might feel about the matter, Keldorn has obviously decided to set affairs right with his wife... and not take retribution against Sir William. I suppose he will want to return to his estate to speak with her soon. |

| 34674 You are still here? Go, and do not darken this place further. Has our loathing and indifference not been reason enough to go? |

| 34683 Save Mazzy's sister, Pala Pala was poisoned by a potion that was purchased from a gnomish peddler named Wallace... I have agreed to go with Mazzy quickly to the market square here in Trademeet to find the man. |
| 34686 Perhaps I am grateful that I do not see. What manner of beast could be formed from such bleeding? It would be the very essence of spiritual injury. |
| 34687 Save Mazzy's sister, Pala After tracking down Wallace the peddler, we discovered that he had changed his supplier of potions to an acolyte in the Trademeet temple to Waukeen by the name of Barl. Mazzy suggests we speak to the temple superior regarding his subordinate's activities. |
| 34688 Haven't you bothered us enough? Leave us be. |
| 34689 Kill it! Kill it quick before they're all gone! |
| 34691 Save Mazzy's sister, Pala The temple superior at the Waukeenar temple agreed to search Barl's chambers and returned to report that he had found alchemical equipment... as well as a holy symbol to Talona, the goddess of poisons. Barl as much as admitted his guilt and attacked us. |
| 34692 Save Mazzy's sister, Pala The temple superior will neither listen to us nor search Barl's quarters for evidence of his poisoning until we gather a donation for the temple in the amount of 300 gp. |
| 34693 This is a magical stone that will activate a sewage golem so that it might perform its duties. |
| 34694 Save Mazzy's Sister, Pala. Now that Barl is dead, we must take his cure back to Mazzy's sister, Pala, as quickly as possible. |
| 34695 Save Mazzy's sister, Pala After confronting the evil cleric at the Waukeenar temple, Barl, the antidote was found on his body... Pala has been cured, and Mazzy has asked for the evening to remain with her. She says that she will be ready to leave by the next morning, if we are ready by then. |
| 34696 Save Mazzy's sister, Pala After confronting the evil cleric at the Waukeenar temple, an antidote was found on his body... Pala has been cured, and Mazzy wishes to remain with her sister for an additional day. I cannot afford to wait around, so Mazzy has told me she will remain in Trademeet until I need her again. |

| 34718 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa Lissa's daughter seems to have come down with a mysterious illness of the mind. Jan's uncle, Gerhardt, told Lissa that Jan could heal the girl, but Jan doesn't seem to agree. He has asked me to go to the basement and ask his uncle what he knows about the little girl's illness. |
| 34719 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa Jan's uncle seems to think that we need the aid of something called "the Hidden" to heal Lissa's daughter. He directed me to the Lady Jysstev, who lives in an estate in the Government District, saying that she could lead me to it. I should go and tell Jan of this news immediately. |
| 34720 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa Jan will stay behind to nurse Jaella, and has bid me to talk to Lady Jysstev and find the Hidden. He estimates I have ten days at most before the young girl dies. I must head off to the Government District and the Jysstev estate as soon as possible! |
| 34721 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa I was able to convince Lady Jysstev to arrange a meeting between myself and the Hidden. She tells me that I need to go to the sewer maze beneath the Copper Coronet and that the Hidden should meet me somewhere there. She could not give an exact location, nor was she sure if the Hidden would come, but she did seem very sure that he would be angry, as I am not one of "the Enlightened Ones," whatever they are. |

| 34795 Perhaps, but I shall be ever vigilant in keeping you apprised of any shady goings-on here in your guild. |
| 34796 Very well. I leave the guild in your capable hands, though there will be very little for you to do without a proper assistant. It is your choice though. |

| 34801 Kretor has a problem that he has been keeping from you. He has been filling in his quota with his own gold because someone in his ranks of pickpockets is skimming off the top. |
| 34802 Kretor claims that the thieves know which one it is, though they will not say. He has asked me to deal with this since you are new and he does not quite trust you yet. These matters are your responsibility though. |
| 34803 Right you are. I will take an active hand in my guild. |
| 34804 I suppose such things are required of me now. |
| 34805 I will explain what is happening. Kretor has four thieves under him. They are a young group with little experience and not much respect. They feign innocence, but they know who is stealing. |
| 34806 The first is Darronal Gwin II, a spoiled child of a noble family. I think he works for Kretor out of boredom, or perhaps he's slumming. He doesn't really need the money, but he is pretty obstinate. |
| 34807 Spirit Wolf |
| 34808 Spirit Wolf |
| 34809 The second is a boy named Thrand. Don't know much about him, except that he came from the south. Presumably his parents were slaves, and he has little to his name. He might be stealing to buy his parents out of slavery. |
| 34810 The third is a lass named Shadel. Had a rough home life, as near as I can figure. Joined up with Kretor because she had nowhere else to go. She could be skimming to pay for passage out of Athkatla, but I don't know. |
| 34811 Spirit Snake |
| 34812 Spirit Snake |
| 34813 The last is a pompous little twit named, get this, Blood Nightmaster. He's a thief under Kretor because he thinks he's the best little rogue in the world. He could be stealing from us because he thinks it's daring. |
| 34814 So, which do you think it could be? |
| 34815 A motley lot. Each could be the one. |
| 34816 It could be any of them, yes. I particularly don't like that "Blood" idiot, but that is my personal bias. You have several options open to you at this point. Here is what I propose. |
| 34817 Spirit Lion |
| 34818 You can kill them all, which may be extreme. Or kill one, to serve as an example. Or you can dock all their pay. This may make the one steal more, but it will make the others more likely to turn them in. |
| 34819 Spirit Lion |
| 34820 I will do nothing. It is Kretor's mess; if he can't sort it out, he will cover the losses. |
| 34821 Kill them all. I will not have the taint of this in my guild. Kretor will replace them. |
| 34822 Kill one of them. This will scare the rest, and we may get the right one. |
| 34823 Dock their pay, all of them. I won't have Kretor pay the cost for their treachery. |
| 34824 I doubt Kretor will be pleased, but he will continue to pay the quota out of his own pocket until this is settled. I will let you know how the matter played out in half a tenday. |
| 34825 That... that is your decision to make. I will have the order carried out immediately. It is unfortunate, really, and I'm not sure they can be replaced any time soon. I will have this matter be settled in half a tenday. |
| 34826 Shadow Thief |
| 34827 Shadow Thief |
| 34828 That will certainly spur some unrest in their little clique. They all require gold for their own reasons. I will have the matter taken care of within half a tenday. |
| 34829 Very well. Do you have a preference for which one should be killed? I prefer to leave such choices to the guild leader. Helps me sleep at night, you understand. |

| 34863 If that's what you wish, that's what will be done. I will report back to you in half a tenday with the results. |

| 34868 Well, it has been over five days now, and your plan of inaction has indeed resulted in some very startling results. I'm not sure it will be exactly what you were hoping for though. |
| 34869 Shadow Thief Cloak |
| 34870 Well, it has been five days or so since your order to have all the thieves suspected of skimming funds killed, and the results have been predictable. That section of the guild has been decimated. |
| 34871 Well, it has been five days since your order to kill Darronal Gwin II, and not a coin has gone missing since. Either you have killed the right one, or you have scared the rest straight. |
| 34872 Well, it has been five days or so since your order to kill one of the thieves under Kretor for their suspected stealing from the guild coffers, and I must say that perhaps the results could have been better. |
| 34873 Well, the thieves under Kretor have had a week to live with the reduction in pay that you ordered, and some startling results have been achieved. You certainly provoked a reaction. |
| 34874 The stealing of our funds has indeed stopped, but it is because Kretor has quit and closed down that section of your operations. He could not afford to continue funding the quota out of his own purse. |
| 34875 Not the result you might have wished for. Better luck next time, I suppose. |
| 34876 Why did you not warn me this would happen? |
| 34877 Ah well, we shall get on without him as best we can. |
| 34878 Have him killed, will you? I will not tolerate deserters. |
| 34879 You may have stopped the stealing, but Kretor could not afford to fill the quota on his own, so he has quit. It is a shame, really. |
| 34880 For now, all is well. We cannot help but prosper if everything goes as planned. |
| 34881 clear |
| 34882 Well done. It shall be business as usual for all concerned. |
| 34883 And I hope we shall not have this problem again. |
| 34884 A nasty bit of business, and I am glad it is over. |
| 34885 Iltha |
| 34886 You! I know why you're here! You shall not get this shipment under my watch! Arkanis! Help me! |

| 34894 The one killed was not the culprit, and Kretor has been paying extra now for both the lost manpower and the stolen coin. He has had enough, and has told me he has quit. |
| 34895 Darronal Gwin II has turned up dead. It would seem that the others did not appreciate him hurting their wages for his gain. Excellent decision, I should say. |
| 34896 Greater Wraith |
| 34897 Greater Wraith |
| 34898 I'm sure that all concerned have learned from this. I will apprise you when another matter requires your attention. |
| 34899 The events were perfectly predictable, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I am your mouthpiece, not your mentor. You will have to make these decisions as you see fit. |
| 34900 As you see fit, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. A strange end to an unfortunate bit of business, then. |
| 34901 I ain't happy, not one bit. This business with them underlings stealing is only getting me the shaft. Ain't gonna go on long. |
| 34902 You handled that there business with them thieving underlings of my like a pro. You keep up the good work and we'll get on fine. |
| 34903 Kretor has unfortunately quit your service. This branch of your guild has been closed. |
| 34904 I prithee, my lady... it fills me with no small amount of wonder that you have not asked me of my journeys ere we met? We have traveled a short while, and yet we know next to nothing of each other. |
| 34905 I am not interested in hearing of your travels, Anomen. |
| 34906 And that's exactly the way I like it. |
| 34907 All right, then... tell me of your journeys, if you wish. |
| 34908 Sorry, Anomen, this is no time to speak. |
| 34909 I am interested in hearing something of yours, however, my lady. I have been told a little of your deeds in the Sword Coast, albeit they do sound quite fanciful and exaggerated. |
| 34910 No more than your tales do, Anomen. |
| 34911 Well, most stories do grow with the telling, Anomen. My story is no more exceptional than anyone else's. |
| 34912 I assure you, whatever you have heard is likely true. |
| 34913 As you wish, my lady. 'Tis disconcerting to me that you wish to remain so secretive and mysterious, but not completely unexpected from a woman. |
| 34914 There is precious little to tell, although my few adventures have been glorious indeed. The path to knighthood is a long one, however... hence the need for my travels. |
| 34915 But a few of my deeds have reached the ears of bards. Battle is commonplace enough throughout Amn, and the Order has fielded its army many times in recent years. |
| 34916 Most recently, however... let me think... I was with our men when the orcs came down into the Ommlur Hills once again. |
| 34917 Troll Cook |
| 34918 Troll Cook |
| 34919 In great numbers, they are a force to fear... but individually, they are no match for a warrior. I myself was able to fight through many of them alone and take the head of one of their foul chieftains. |
| 34920 That sounds very impressive. |
| 34921 That hardly sounds likely. |
| 34922 I have little patience for such foolishness and lies, Anomen. |
| 34923 Grancor |
| 34924 Aye, perhaps you are right, my lady. The broadening of our acquaintance will have to be moved to another time, it seems. |
| 34925 Grancor |
| 34926 You wound me, fair lady. I may focus on my deeds more than those of some of my brothers-in-arms, but they are the truth. Is there reason for you to doubt me so? |
| 34927 Falik |
| 34928 No, I suppose not. |
| 34929 There may be some truth in your tales, Anomen, but the truth is in the essence only. I cannot imagine anyone accomplishing the feats you describe. |
| 34930 Falik |
| 34931 Your tales have the ring of self-importance and an overblown imagination, Anomen. |
| 34932 Adventurer |
| 34933 Aye, that has a ring of truth. I did not think that you truly stopped a war in the north on your own, skilled as you might be. Rumor brings exaggeration, I am told. |
| 34934 Adventurer |
| 34935 Actually, that part is true. I did stop a war with Amn several months ago. |
| 34936 Actually, I did stop a war with Amn several months ago... but I didn't do it on my own, of course. |
| 34937 You speak the truth, as always. |
| 34938 Hmph. I find it hard to believe that one woman alone could have performed such deeds. Perhaps you are not aware of the scope of the tales that I have been told. |
| 34939 You find it hard to believe that I have done such things... or is it solely because I am a woman? |
| 34940 I didn't do it alone, Anomen, but my life has been nothing but danger and adventure since I left Candlekeep. |
| 34941 Perhaps you're right... the tales have probably grown larger as time has passed. |
| 34942 You'll keep your insulting comments to yourself, priest, or you'll lose your tongue. |
| 34943 Aye, it has been a struggle to prove my worth to the Order. I wish nothing more than to ride into battle with the crest of the Radiant Heart flying over my head. |
| 34944 Lord Jierdan |
| 34945 Lord Jierdan |
| 34946 But I speak too much of my own deeds. One would think me preoccupied with pride. I would not blame you were you not interested in hearing tales of my prowess, truly. |
| 34947 Firkraag |
| 34948 Firkraag |
| 34949 You wound me, lady. I have gone to great pains to prove my worth to the knights, performing feats greater than those of ordinary men. I do not exaggerate. |
| 34950 Have I given you reason to treat me so harshly? Perhaps I speak too much of myself. 'Tis a vanity that will be my downfall. I do not blame you if you are uninterested in my history. |
| 34951 Chapel Key |
| 34952 Chapel Key |
| 34953 Then I would thank you to give me the benefit of the doubt. You once told me you were a force righteous, and I have allowed the possibility no matter my occasional doubts. |
| 34954 I apologize if I am not as charming as some. I had to fight for my place as a squire without the benefit of a patron father and the wealth that goes with it. |
| 34955 I apologize if I am not as charming as Keldorn here. I had to fight for my place as a squire, without the benefit of a patron father and the privilege that goes with it. |

| 34958 My prowess is true, dear lady. One must perform great feats to attain knighthood in the Order, and I am no liar. |
| 34959 Who are you? Damn, I knew we'd be followed! |
| 34960 I cannot imagine why you injure me so. I have done nothing but serve your cause faithfully. If this is what you truly think, then I would prefer to ride in silence. |
| 34961 Ease up, Jaylos. Maybe they is just here for the same reason we are. Lots were talking about making the switch. |
| 34962 Could be, I suppose. You there! What are you doing here? Speak, and be quick about it. |
| 34963 I've come to kill a couple of traitors to the Shadow Thieves. Seen any around? |
| 34964 Just wandering by, really. It's a public tavern. Something wrong with that? |
| 34965 You... you here to meet with the contact too? I was worried you were here to kill me. |
| 34966 You... you here to meet the contact? I... ah... thought you might be here to kill me. |
| 34967 Well, of course you had fellow companions who aided you then as now. And together you performed deeds as great as those I hope to accomplish in your service. |
| 34968 A wondrous thing, indeed. Perhaps you will tell me more, <CHARNAME>, as we walk... I would hear more of these former companions of yours and your valiant tales of the Sword Coast. |
| 34969 Oh, you are funny. Think we'll just lay down and die?! We're getting out, and we're doing it while the getting is good! |
| 34970 Kill 'em before Gracen gets here or they'll never take us! |
| 34971 I suspect a taint of sarcasm in your voice, my lady. I do not discount your deeds entirely... I have seen you in action, and you are quite impressive; do not misunderstand me. |
| 34972 Perhaps another time, <CHARNAME>, when you are less suspicious of me, you might relent and tell me more of your former companions and a tale or two from your time in the north. |
| 34973 Maybe it is, but this room is taken, <GIRLBOY>. Maybe you should run along before we get tired of looking at you. |
| 34974 Yeah, tired! |
| 34975 No need for that. I was just looking for some traitors to the Shadow Thieves. Seen any? |
| 34976 How about a round of drinks? I'm just looking for some friendly bar talk. |
| 34977 Maybe I should stay for a bit. I think we might be waiting for the same person. |
| 34978 Maybe. Although I know that you are capable of impressive feats yourself, my lady. I have been bewildered by your competency while in action. 'Tis most wondrous, for a woman. |
| 34979 But I mean no criticism by it. I have had little experience with the fairer sex in my time and likely speak as a blunt tool. Perhaps some other time you will tell me more of your own feats. |
| 34980 I think I'll stay. It looks like we're waiting for the same... ah... person. |
| 34981 I mean no insult, my lady. I have little enough experience with the fairer sex; I likely speak as a blunt tool. I have witnessed your prowess with my own eyes. |
| 34982 You too?! I thought we'd be... |
| 34983 Keep your damn voices down! Cripes, you'd think the whole guild was going. We've just got to sit and wait then. You keep your mouths shut and stay still! |
| 34984 And what person might that be, "friend"? |
| 34985 You know. The contact for the other guild. |
| 34986 His name escapes me at the moment. You know the one. |
| 34987 Why? Don't you know? You trying to pry information outta me? You a spy?! Huh?! |
| 34988 Are you now? Well, maybe we don't want any friendly bar talk. Maybe I'm starting to think you are getting a bit too close for comfort. Maybe you ain't here just for drinks at all! |
| 34989 Sorry, Jaylos, I was just glad to see someone else doing the same thing. |
| 34990 Stop using my name, dammit! Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. We'll just have to see. All right, friend, just who is it you think we are going to meet? |
| 34991 Come on, stop playing games. The contact. The one for the other guild. |
| 34992 I have forgotten his name, but I was to meet him here. |
| 34993 Why? Don't you know? You trying to pry information outta me? You a spy?! Huh?! |
| 34994 Calm down. All right, maybe I'm here to meet the same person you are. |
| 34995 Enough of this! You will tell me who your contact is or face Shadow Thief justice! |
| 34996 Look, if it's going to cause trouble, I'll just leave. Is that all right? |
| 34997 No, I don't think you'll be going anywhere. I think you're a spy, and I think it's time for you to die! |
| 34998 How much do you know of my Order of the Most Radiant Heart? |
| 34999 Yes, the contact for the other guild. What is his NAME? You know, the name that is to be used as the password? The one you should know if you are really here to meet him? |
| 35000 Aw cripes, they don't know the name! They are spies sent to kill us! Aw, we are so dead! |
| 35001 You have forgotten the name? The name that was the contact word to ensure no spies got this far? You have forgotten the password? Or maybe you just never knew it at all! |
| 35002 What? No... no, I know it. I ain't no spy! Shut up or they'll just kill us instead of taking us! |
| 35003 Aw geeze, they think we're spies. We're gonna die! |
| 35004 All right, everyone just calm down! |
| 35005 You don't know the naa-aame, you don't know the naa-aame. |
| 35006 Maybe I know the name very, very well! Maybe it's MY name! Maybe I'm the contact! |
| 35007 Maybe I know the name very, very well! Maybe it's MY name! Maybe I'm the contact! |
| 35008 Listen to your pal, friend. You are in big trouble. |
| 35009 Imp |
| 35010 Shut up, shut up, shut up! I've had enough! I don't care who you are, you are going to die! |
| 35011 Imp |
| 35012 Caehan, you are SUCH an idiot! |
| 35013 Maybe the contact is a man, and you are a woman! Nice try, but you are gonna die! |
| 35014 Aw geeze, Jaylos, what if he is the contact? We are so dead. |
| 35015 He... he could be. I didn't get a description. Dammit, this is all falling apart! |
| 35016 Maybe not. Just give me the name and I'll know you are the ones I am here to get. |
| 35017 What fools! What are you going to do now that you've angered your new guild? |
| 35018 Guess you should have stayed with Aran Linvail instead of wandering, eh? |
| 35019 Shut up, Caehan! We're going to... we're gonna... |
| 35020 Yeah! What are we going to do?! |
| 35021 We're gonna kill this idiot and turn his corpse over to the Shadow Thieves! We'll be heroes! Sorry, Gracen, but time for you to die! |
| 35022 Not very much, I'm afraid. |
| 35023 A little. |
| 35024 You... you aren't from the new guild! Nobody knows that name except longtime Shadow Thieves! You've been toying with us! Oh! I am gonna kill you SO bad! |
| 35025 All I know is that it is full of arrogant and pompous knights like yourself. |
| 35026 I don't care to discuss this right now, Anomen. |
| 35027 All right, maybe you are the contact. I guess we'll know soon enough. The name is... |
| 35028 The name is Gracen, and we want to join with the new guild. The offer is just too good. |
| 35029 What's going on here? I'm Gracen. Were all of you to meet me here? |
| 35030 Quasit |

| 35032 You have been given <number> extra percentage points to distribute among your INACTIVE skills. These are talents granted by the INACTIVE class of your character. The base skill percentages are determined by your race and base ability scores. |
| 35033 You have been given <number> proficiencies to give to your character's INACTIVE class. Choose from the above list any of the highlighted proficiencies. If your character is a Fighter, <PRO_HESHE> will be able to choose the same proficiency twice. This will grant <PRO_HIMHER> specialization with the weapons listed. Keep in mind that a character can use any weapon available to <PRO_HISHER> race and class whether <PRO_HESHE> has proficiency with it or not. However, if <PRO_HESHE> attacks using a weapon that <PRO_HESHE> is not proficient with, <PRO_HESHE> suffers a minus to <PRO_HISHER> attack roll. |
| 35034 You're Gracen? But... Oh, by the Hells, spies are here! Kill them! |
| 35035 Yes, spies! Kill them before they expose you! |
| 35036 I'll dispense with all of you traitors, and then I'll get your masters! |
| 35037 I suggest that you all give yourselves up and tell me where your masters are! |
| 35038 What? No, you're the spies! Help us kill them, Gracen! |
| 35039 No, you are the spies! Let's get them, Gracen! |
| 35040 My, but this has been fun. Now I'll dispose of all of you traitors! |
| 35041 Enough of this! The deal is off! I will kill all of you! |
| 35042 Fun is fun, but I think you should all give up and tell me where your masters are. |
| 35043 What is the meaning of this? I could hear this fight from the street outside! What is going on here? |
| 35044 Nothing, Gratin, just... ah... some spies that had to be dealt with. |
| 35045 Nothing, Gravis, just some nasty spies that had to be dealt with. |
| 35046 Nothing, Gralen, just a little trouble with some spies before we could meet. |
| 35047 Nothing, Gracen, just some spies that had to be dealt with before we could meet. |
| 35048 Nothing, Gracen, just some spies that had to be dealt with before we could meet. |
| 35049 Nothing, Gravy, just some spies that had to be dealt with before we could meet. |
| 35050 Nothing, Gracele, just some spies that had to be dealt with before we could meet. |
| 35051 Oh, to the Hells with it! I know you were meeting traitors here! Where are your masters?! |
| 35052 No, I don't think you are what you say you are. Time to die, fools! |
| 35053 No, no, I don't think I believe you. You don't lie very well. I'll kill you just to be on the safe side! |
| 35054 You'll not find out from me! Fight, and I shall make sure you cannot report what you have seen! |
| 35055 I see. Well, a necessary commotion then, though we should not wait here long. Your new berth is beneath the Graveyard District, behind the blue stone doors. |
| 35056 That's all we needed to know. Now you shall feel the wrath of the Shadow Thieves. |
| 35057 Might I ask what our reward was to be again? I would like it clarified. |
| 35058 Well, we shall be on our way then. Give our regards to Lassal. |
| 35059 You'll not live to tell what you have learned! |
| 35060 You have been well schooled in this already. You are not who you say you are! You will die here before you can tell what you have learned! |
| 35061 You have no cause to know that name! You are not who you say you are! I will kill you here before you can tell what you have learned! |
| 35062 Gracen, You have been given all the funds necessary for your duties, so you are to act without hesitation. The coin we have offered to the gravekeeper should be more than sufficient to keep him out of the crypts. Funds must also be offered to keep the city exterminators from hunting the spiders. If they find that blasted Pai'Na and her pets, they cannot help but find us as well. See to these instructions with all haste. Lassal |

| 35064 What do you want? This is important work you're interrupting. |
| 35065 Get on with you. I ain't getting distracted talking to you. Gotta protect the shipment, or it's our arses in a sling. |
| 35066 Sorry, I'll leave you to your duty. |
| 35067 What's in the shipment, anyway? What is so valuable that they need you? |
| 35068 Expecting trouble? |
| 35069 Good. I ain't gonna blow this. |
| 35070 Don't know, and I don't care. Ain't my business. I just guard who and what I'm told to. |
| 35071 Only from you if you don't stop yapping. Get on. |
| 35072 Just making small talk. |
| 35073 I was just wondering what you thought was in the shipment. |
| 35074 I wanted to know if you can handle any trouble that comes. You tough? |
| 35075 Well, make it a little smaller. I don't have time. |
| 35076 Don't know. Weapons maybe, or jewels. Doesn't matter 'cuz I'll never see it. Just guard it and go, that's what I do. |
| 35077 Tough enough. That's why I do what I do. Don't mind smashing the odd skull, especially nosy talkative ones. |
| 35078 You got business here, you do it and get out. I have my eye on you. |
| 35079 Talk fast if you got stuff to say, and best you be polite. I bounce the troublemakers, and I bounce 'em hard. |

| 35082 Senior Vulova does not want to talk to anybody at this time. If you would like to speak with him, I suggest you return at a later time. He does not, however, deal with common street merchants or customers that do not buy in volume. |
| 35083 Remove yourselves, and do not return without due purpose. |
| 35084 What? Who are you? I demand to know what you are doing in here! |
| 35085 Fine. I am here to kill you and to blame your murder on the Shadow Thieves. |
| 35086 Nothing. Sorry to have disturbed you. I'll be going now. |
| 35087 I have been sent to kill you, but if you hide yourself for a time, I may not have to. |
| 35088 Wh-what? But... my guards! They will stop you! |
| 35089 Impaler +3 |
| 35090 Not likely. They haven't stopped me yet. Consider your options here. |
| 35091 No one will stop me! You die now! |

| 35097 That's not likely to happen. They haven't stopped me yet. You have no options. |

| 35106 Then you should be made aware of it, certainly. It is the greatest force for righteousness in Faerûn... an army of knights and paladins ready to combat evil wherever it may be found. |
| 35107 We exist to serve, but we follow no commands except those of our hearts and our conscience. 'Tis a rare thing that can stand up to the full array of the Order's armies, my lady. |
| 35108 I do not understand why the Order does not take control of the council, personally. It could do far more to turn this into a fair and equitable land, don't you think? |
| 35109 *sigh* Once again, Anomen, you follow pride rather than your head. The Order remains free of corruption because we don't take part in the politics you mention. |
| 35110 If we allowed administration to conflict with our righteous hearts, where would we be? Even the council has its place in this land; surely you know that. |
| 35111 I mean... think of all the suffering your average commoner must endure. The hunger, the inequity and injustices... the rebellions in the south. All things of chaos. |
| 35112 Surely these things would not occur with the Order placed in command... a force of true goodness and honest brotherhood? It baffles me why more people don't see it. |
| 35113 You have heard of it? That is good. I have always been in awe of the Order, ever since I was a child... a force of righteous knights and paladins in a brotherhood of arms. |
| 35114 I... I apologize most humbly, my lady, if I have given offense. I did not mean to come across as such an overbearing lout. I shall refrain from bothering you further. |
| 35115 Golem |
| 35116 Golem |
| 35117 Ah. You are a quiet one, <CHARNAME>, it seems. Well, I'll not drag your tongue along the ground. Let us continue our journey quietly, then. |
| 35118 I have long since passed the time when I needed a knight of the Order to answer my every thought, Sir Keldorn. I have heard many express the idea you repeat, and I disagree with it. |
| 35119 There is far too much inequity and injustice for the common man... the Order could do much to eradicate such hopeless existences. What do you think, my lady? |
| 35120 I agree with Keldorn. Your Order must remain separate to maintain its purity. |
| 35121 I think you're right... there's a lot more the Order could do. |
| 35122 Calm down. I won't kill you. You hide for a while, perhaps in some other town. |
| 35123 Pathetic. No, I'm sorry, but I've no other choice. |
| 35124 Worthless worm! You will die here and now! |
| 35125 Thank you ever so much! You won't regret this! You won't! |
| 35126 Guards! Kill them while I run! Now! |
| 35127 I have no opinion on the matter. |
| 35128 What in blazes is this?! You have made a grand mistake barging in here! You will never counter our secret weapons of fear, surprise... uh... ruthless efficiency and... Oh, forget it! Just kill them! |
| 35129 I think you're an idiot, Anomen. |
| 35130 I agree... there is a lot more that the Order could do. |
| 35131 I disagree... the Order should remain separate from such things. |
| 35132 I have no opinion on the matter. |
| 35133 You... you saved me? W-why? You're not debt collectors, are you? I swear, I had the gold and I meant to get it to you, but... |
| 35134 You're an idiot, Anomen. It's no wonder you haven't become a knight yet. |
| 35135 Aye, you see the right of it, I think. It is something I shall keep in mind once I pass the Test... the Order must become more active beyond simply combating the most obvious evils. |
| 35136 Just run. NOW! |
| 35137 Get going, you're free now. |
| 35138 I don't know you at all, and you don't know me. Let's keep it that way. |
| 35139 Hmph. You're entitled to your opinion, my lady, but I think there is more that can be done to fight chaos than simply combating the most obvious evils with a sword. |
| 35140 Thank you, thank you, thank you! Free! Hurray! |
| 35141 You are a foreigner and a wanderer, true... but surely, my lady, you must think that evil can be fought with more than just a sword. |
| 35142 Right. Well then. Thank you, whatever your reasons. |
| 35143 An idiot, am I? If you've such a low opinion of me, then I shall simply remain silent... and watch you most carefully. |
| 35144 Fools! The mistress knew you would come! Fight then, and know you die for nothing! |
| 35145 The Order has its place, Anomen... and government is not it. Your vision is flawed, and you would do well to think most carefully before you do anything rash. |
| 35146 Come then, come to your doom! Dare you breach the inner sanctum? I think not! |
| 35147 <CHARNAME> shows wisdom, good Anomen, in remaining silent on a matter with which she is not well informed. You would do well to follow her example. |
| 35148 Think yourself brave enough to stand before me? Perhaps bravery is not enough! |
| 35149 Perhaps, Sir Keldorn. I shall ponder your words, but I still believe the flaw exists in those who do not think of new ways to combat chaos. |
| 35150 Bravery, stupidity, whatever gets the job done! |
| 35151 It shall be enough this day to end your evil life, beast! |
| 35152 You are on the defensive and yet you taunt! Such gall! |
| 35153 A galling response! Cattle such as you will spoil the herd! Your blood will remain stale on the stone of the floor when I am through! You are not worthy of being fed upon! |
| 35154 I have thought well on the matter, Sir Keldorn, and do not need your guidance. Let us return our attention to our travels. |
| 35155 You cannot destroy me! I am your better in all things! Your blood will fill the halls of this place! You are not worthy of being fed upon! |
| 35156 I understand that Gorion was very much like a father to you. ...What was your relationship with him like? |
| 35157 The gall is yours to think I am on the defensive when I have led you as a mantis her prey! You will fall here, and you death shall be... delicious! |
| 35158 He was a kind and patient man, and a great mentor. |
| 35159 For Mistress Bodhi, I will eviscerate you! She shall have tapestries of your sinew and bone! Come! Come to your end! |
| 35160 Gorion was a good man who meant well. I shall miss him. |
| 35161 I do not wish to discuss Gorion with you, Anomen. |
| 35162 Our relationship was nothing special, Anomen, and I am glad to have moved on. |
| 35163 Ah, I see. I must admit, my lady, that I am rather jealous of you. My own father, Lord Cor, is nothing like your Gorion, and he and I did not have a good relationship. |
| 35164 If Lord Cor was not deep into his cups, he was demanding that I uphold the family honor... or telling me what a worthless son I had become. |
| 35165 EeeeeAAAARRRGHGHGHGHHH |
| 35166 He was derisive of my choice to join the Order. He wanted me to take over his mercantile business... something I truly had no stomach for. |
| 35167 ggrrrrlglAAAAARRRRGHGHGHG! |
| 35168 (The man looks at you blankly for a moment and then speaks.) I serve only Master Mekrath. |
| 35169 I would have given much for my father to be my mentor... but instead, I endured his abuse until I was able to squire for the Order. I fled as quickly as I was able to. |
| 35170 Why are you telling me this? |
| 35171 That's horrible, Anomen. You must be glad to be away from him. |
| 35172 You should have stood up to him. I would have. |
| 35173 I see no need to endure this whining over your father. Get a backbone, Anomen. |
| 35174 Ah, I see. Then your relationship with Gorion was not so special after all. I suspect that it was still better than mine with my father. At least Gorion wanted you there, yes? |
| 35175 I think I understand. I do not wish to intrude on your memories, <CHARNAME>. My own relationship with my father left plenty to be desired. |
| 35176 I... I suppose I am telling you this because you remind me a little of my sister, Moira. She is young and determined... I miss her... perhaps the only thing of my family I miss. |
| 35177 I regret abandoning her to her fate, alone with Lord Cor... but there was... little I could do. She... I am sure she... |
| 35178 No. Never mind. I do not wish to speak further about this, <CHARNAME>... excuse me. |
| 35179 Gnasher +2 |
| 35180 Whining, is it? I simply mean to talk, and you wound me so casually? Very well, then... I shall henceforth keep my thoughts to myself and away from your barbed tongue. |
| 35181 I think you might have at that. I could not... I just never could stand up to him. He raises his voice, and suddenly I am a little boy hiding in the pantry once again. |
| 35182 Crossbow of Affliction +4 |
| 35183 Iâ€â€I do wish to apologize for so abruptly ending our conversation yesterday. I meant no offense by it. |
| 35184 There was no offense taken, Anomen. |
| 35185 Watch yourself then, Anomen. |
| 35186 This is not a good time to speak of such things... let us just continue on. |
| 35187 Heavy Crossbow of Searing +1 |
| 35188 I am glad to hear of it. I... I think of my sister sometimes, alone in the manor with my father. From the last letter I received, it seemed as if she was bearing up well. |
| 35189 I think she was merely trying to ease my guilt, though. It cannot be easy for her, and I wish that I could take her away and send her somewhere where she would be happy. |
| 35190 Why don't you, then? |
| 35191 Why do I remind you of her? |
| 35192 I shall try. My sister used to curse my temper and the arguments that I would get into with Father because of it. If we were ever civil, it was only due to Moira's intervention. |
| 35193 I wonder sometimes what has become of her... alone in that mansion with my father. From the last letters I have received, she seems to be bearing up fairly well. |
| 35194 Yes... yes, of course, my lady. It pains me that you are always so silent, but I will abide by your wishes. |
| 35195 Flasher Launcher |
| 35196 I tire of your constant whining... let's just continue on. |
| 35197 The Order does not pay well, my lady. And even had I the wealth, Moira would refuse to go anywhere. She stays to take care of him, even at his drunken worst. |
| 35198 There is a sense of her in your bearing, my lady. Moira can be stubborn... she refuses to leave our father's side even at his drunken worst, staying to take care of him. |
| 35199 Since our mother died, I think she can hardly imagine doing anything else. I hope that old bastard does not treat her too harshly. |
| 35200 I am told that you have something of a sister as well, my lady. Imoen, I believe the name is. You are close to her? |
| 35201 If I am such a burden and a caustic presence to you, my lady, perhaps you would prefer it if I sought my adventures elsewhere. I've no wish to disturb you... nor to be insulted. |
| 35202 Fine, leave. I don't care. |
| 35203 No, you don't have to leave, Anomen. Just keep quiet. |
| 35204 I'm sorry, Anomen... I didn't mean to insult you. Please forgive me. |
| 35205 Flasher Master Bruiser Mate |
| 35206 Imoen isn't really my sister, but we did grow up together and we are very close. |
| 35207 She's a bit of a brat, but I'm fond of her. |
| 35208 We grew up together and I've tolerated her presence... beyond that, she's proven herself useful occasionally. |
| 35209 I've no wish to discuss my feelings for Imoen. Let's just continue on, shall we? |
| 35210 That is good. It is a terrible thing, then, that she has been taken away. Let us continue your quest, then, and strive to seek her freedom. |
| 35211 Ah. If Moira were to be placed in the same situation as your Imoen, I... I am not sure what lengths I would go to free her. I would give my own soul, if need be. |
| 35212 I'm sure you have your reasons for seeking Imoen's rescue... even if it is just to find this wizard. I shall devote myself to seeking her freedom. |
| 35213 Of course, <CHARNAME>. |
| 35214 I had not thought you so thoughtless, my lady. So be it. I shall return to that foul inn and seek my fortunes with other, more amenable companions. |
| 35215 You are a cruel woman, <CHARNAME>. So be it. I shall continue on, for now, and be silent. |
| 35216 Very well, <CHARNAME>. I am as quick to forgive as I am to give offense. Let us continue on, as you suggested. |
| 35217 *sigh* Speaking of my father has left me plenty of time to think. Perhaps too much. It is as if an ill wind has blown across my soul. |
| 35218 Why? What are you thinking of? |
| 35219 I've no time for your melancholy, Anomen. |
| 35220 This is no time for reminiscing, Anomen. Let us continue on. |
| 35221 I speak of memories that are best put aside, <CHARNAME>, lest they fester at my heart. I find, sometimes, however, that I cannot. |
| 35222 I remember when I first achieved the rank of squire. It had been a difficult task... my father had refused to be my patron, so I was no better off than a commoner would be. |
| 35223 Most knights would not take me in, since I had no coin to pay for my equipment. I had to prove myself. A knight by the name of Sir Blethyn took pity on me and had me squired. |
| 35224 I was proud during the ceremony, and happy... but it was not to last. My father, Lord Cor, stumbled into the Order's headquarters... he was filthy drunk and full of rage. |
| 35225 He began shouting at the knights... at Sir Ryan Trawl, no less... that I had been stolen from him. That I was a worthless and weak son who should not be in the Order. |
| 35226 Sir Ryan Trawl told him that I had proven myself... but the old bastard would hear none of it. They were finally forced to drag him out of the headquarters, kicking and screaming. |
| 35227 Leave it to Lord Cor to stain the one moment of pure pleasure I was able to steal during my time in the Order, the one thing I had achieved despite all of his opposition. Bah! |
| 35228 You should not let your father eat away at you like this, Anomen. |
| 35229 That's awful! I'm sorry that happened like that. |
| 35230 Are you finished whining? Can we continue on, here? |
| 35231 You stab at me with your words when I simply thought to find comfort in speaking to another. Perhaps you would prefer if I left your company! |
| 35232 I don't care what you do, Anomen. Leave if you must. |
| 35233 No, don't go. Just keep quiet. |
| 35234 No, I'm sorry, Anomen. I meant nothing by it. Please... tell me what you were thinking of, if you still wish to. |
| 35235 *sigh* As... as you wish, my lady. I was hoping to speak to another for a moment, but I've no desire to burden you. |
| 35236 Then I shall. I have no desire to be ridiculed. Likely I will find better companions among the rats at the foul inn where I met you. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 35237 You've left me little choice, my lady. So be it... so long as you remain a force for righteousness, I shall remain by your side, silent. For now. |
| 35238 Well... as you wish. I have often been accused of a worrisome tongue and a quick temper myself. I accept your apology, my lady. |
| 35239 'Tis difficult, my lady. Since the death of my mother, my father has been a cancer in my soul... a force against which I have struggled for years to prove myself. |
| 35240 As am I. Since my mother's death, my father has been the force against which I have always struggled to prove myself... an invisible cancer which I cannot vanquish. |
| 35241 Ah, but listen to me. What a pathetic knight I must seem, blubbering like a boy to you over such a thing as my father's disapproval. You must think me a fool, my lady. |
| 35242 I... yes, I am finished with my whining, my lady. My... apologies... for burdening you with my dark thoughts. I shall refrain in the future. |
| 35243 No, I don't think you a fool, Anomen. |
| 35244 Don't be ridiculous, Anomen. You've overcome many obstacles... you should be proud of your accomplishments. |
| 35245 I think you should harden yourself, Anomen. If you cannot get over such a small thing as that, you will never achieve what you want. |
| 35246 A bit of a fool, yes. |
| 35247 You are kind to say so, my lady. Thank you. |
| 35248 Yes... I should harden myself. I suppose you are correct. Let us... continue on our journey here, my lady. |
| 35249 Ah, I see. I apologize for burdening you with my foolish thoughts, then. I shall refrain in the future. |
| 35250 Have I told you how I became a priest? |
| 35251 Mimic's Blood |
| 35252 Beljuril |
| 35253 Beljuril |
| 35254 No, but I'd like to hear the tale. |
| 35255 No, and I've no interest in hearing about it. |
| 35256 I thought you were trying to become a knight. |
| 35257 Merella |
| 35258 Merella |
| 35259 As I've said before, I approached the Order without the benefit of my father's sponsorship. Most young lords come to the Order with patrons paying for their armor and such. |
| 35260 I had possession of not even a sword, and the knight-trainers would not accept me without my father's permission. |
| 35261 My mother, however, was a follower of Helm and known to Sir Ryan Trawl. She... petitioned the knight commander on my behalf, begging him not to turn me away. |
| 35262 So Sir Ryan Trawl allowed me to enter as a novitiate to Helm. I trained as a cleric and learned my sword arts from the guardians of the temple... and was able to eventually squire. |
| 35263 A long road it has been for me, <CHARNAME>... but I am pleased to serve in the Order under Helm's name. And I trust that Helm is pleased with me as well. |
| 35264 As you wish. Perhaps I shall tell you of it some other time. |
| 35265 I am. But that is not the way it has always been, my lady. One does not show up young and penniless and begin a career to knighthood straight away... not within the Order. |
| 35266 What of you, then, <CHARNAME>? You are a force for righteousness and honor... why do you not join the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart and achieve glory as well? |
| 35267 What of you, then, <CHARNAME>? You told me once that you were a force for righteousness... does that still hold true? Do you still seek to defend the lands against evil? |
| 35268 What of you, then? You told me once that you were righteous, but I have hardly seen evidence of this. Will you seek to improve and defend the land from evil? |
| 35269 I would be interested in doing so, if they would have me. |
| 35270 I doubt they would have me, Anomen... besides that, I am hardly interested. |
| 35271 I have no interest in joining an organization of such pompous fools. |
| 35272 Of course I do; that hasn't changed. |
| 35273 I'll do whatever I need to... I hold myself to no tenets, Anomen. |
| 35274 I resent your implication, Anomen. Why not judge for yourself? |
| 35275 I've always tried the best that I can. |
| 35276 I'll do what I want to, Anomen, and nothing more. |
| 35277 Hah! What do you know, fool? Your head's so high up in the clouds you wouldn't know evil if you found it! |

| 35286 Hmph! It is that easy, is it? A simple desire to do so, and you think the Order would just take you in? You've got to do a lot better than that, my lady! |
| 35287 Bah! I tire of all this talk... let us just continue your quest here in silence for a while. |
| 35288 Hardly interested, eh? Well, you are likely right, my lady. They would not be interested in one who could not even muster a sufficient desire to halt the tides of chaos! |

| 35295 It is that easy, is it? I see little evidence of you protecting anything or placing much effort into maintaining your valor. All I see is someone interested mostly in themselves. |

| 35300 Aye, and that is how it shall be, is it? No worries and no morals either. You care neither for evil or good, it seems to me. |
| 35301 I do judge for myself. You must try harder, for I see little evidence of your fight against evil! All I see is one with purely self-interest, and that interests me not! |
| 35302 I think I know it well enough, woman, for I see evidence enough of it before me! You had best improve your ways soon, or it will quickly be the last you see of me! |

| 35309 Shame about the guild, eh? We had a good thing going for a while. If you want it back, Renal might consider reinstating you... with a hefty fine, of course. |
| 35310 I'd like to keep working for you, but without the support of the larger guild of Shadow Thieves, it's just not possible. Maybe Renal would reinstate you if you asked nicely. |
| 35311 My lady, I... I feel most terrible about my burst of temper the previous day. Would... would you allow me the opportunity to apologize and try to explain? |
| 35312 Very well... I will listen to what you have to say. |
| 35313 You can apologize, but I don't want an explanation. |
| 35314 Forget it, Anomen. I'm not interested in hearing your apologies. |
| 35315 Anomen, this is not the appropriate time to talk about this. |

| 35319 I am most thankful, <CHARNAME>. Sometimes, you see... my zeal for justice and valor can become too much. There is an anger in my heart that I... cannot seem to control. |
| 35320 Assassin |
| 35321 I see injustices everywhere, my lady, and... and I wish to do nothing but strike out against them. But even when I do... I keep on striking out... the hate and anger only grow... |
| 35322 When I spoke to you of fighting against evil... I became angry, but it... it was more anger at my own inability to... to be as good and lawful as I might wish to be. |
| 35323 I am sorry, <CHARNAME>, truly I am. I am unworthy of my vows. |
| 35324 I accept your apology, Anomen. |
| 35325 Everyone feels at least a little as you do, Anomen... I am sure even the most noble paladin feels anger and hate. |
| 35326 You are not unworthy... you just need to strive harder to achieve self-control, Anomen. |
| 35327 I cannot believe how weak and pathetic you are. Stop crying over your feelings and get a backbone, will you? |
| 35328 But I must. An apology alone is not enough... this harsh zeal overtakes me at times. There... there is an anger inside me that I cannot seem to control, <CHARNAME>... |

| 35335 Please, my lady... you must hear me through. Allow me to explain my actions or you shall leave me to feel truly unworthy! |
| 35336 Metrich Footman |
| 35337 Fine. I'll listen. |
| 35338 Metrich Footman |
| 35339 That's too bad; you should have thought of that earlier. |
| 35340 I... I see. Please... accept my most humble apology, then, and we can... continue on, and I shall remain silent. |
| 35341 I am glad that you are so kind to me. Not many have given me the benefit of the doubt, my lady, and do not believe that I do not appreciate it. |
| 35342 Again you remind me of my sister, Moira. She too has a decent soul and a benevolent heart. You should meet her sometime, <CHARNAME>... I truly think you would like each other. |
| 35343 I... do not think that is true. The paladins in the Order speak only of contentment... and I have none of that. But I thank you for your kind words, regardless. |
| 35344 Tyrianna |
| 35345 Tyrianna |
| 35346 I suppose you are correct, my lady. I must... struggle... to continue my battle against evil. And I must struggle to achieve this contentment that others speak of. |
| 35347 Perhaps a time will come when such a thing will come naturally to me, I do not know. The Test will be the final arbiter of it. |
| 35348 You... you wound me, my lady. I had thought to find a sympathetic soul to confess my sin... you are far less like my dear Moira than I thought. |
| 35349 Very well, then. I shall burden you no further with my weaknesses. Let us continue our journey in silence, and I will earn my accolades with my skill at arms instead. |
| 35350 Sorcerous Amin |
| 35351 You are correct, of course. I was a fool to let my anger overtake me... but I had hoped you might be able to discern my true intentions. I shall leave you be then, my lady. |

| 35358 The whole business has left the taste of ashes in my mouth. I have defended my family's honor, but I cannot help feeling that I have also betrayed the tenets of my Order. |
| 35359 Lanka |
| 35360 You... you suggested that I take this course of action, my lady. I need your reassurance that there was nothing else that could be done... please. |
| 35361 Lanka |
| 35362 Saerk was not going to be brought to justice, Anomen, and you know that he was responsible for your sister's death. She had to be avenged! |
| 35363 You had to uphold your family's honor, Anomen... nothing is more important than that. |
| 35364 Saerk was an evil man, and his family were accomplices. You know they had to be punished. |
| 35365 I cannot support what you did, Anomen. You took your vengeance too far, I think. |
| 35366 Now is not the time to discuss such matters, Anomen. You must come to terms with this on your own. |

| 35370 Fire Giant |
| 35371 Yes... yes, you speak the truth, and I am glad to hear it. That monster would never have paid as he should have for Moira's death! |
| 35372 Regardless of what my father did during his long feud with Saerk, it was Saerk who murdered an innocent. And that forced myself to become involved. |
| 35373 But... still, my lady... it does not sit well with me that I gave into my great hate so easily. Nor that I enjoyed it so much. I thank you for speaking with me of it, though. |
| 35374 Yes, I suppose you are correct. I know not how much honor my father has, but I have a duty to my family that I cannot ignore. I... had to do it for Moira, if nothing else. |
| 35375 Yes, Saerk had to be destroyed. I am... uncomfortable with the thought of having killed his daughter, but it was his actions that forced me to those extremes. |
| 35376 Too far? I did only what I had to... and what you suggested! If I... if I killed the girl, it was only because Saerk forced my hand. It was his fault! |
| 35377 I... had a duty to protect my family... to avenge my sister's death. Saerk... had to understand what he had done. I... did my best, <CHARNAME>... and now you abandon me... |
| 35378 I no longer know what I should do. I... shall have to think on this. Let us... walk on for now. |
| 35379 I shall try, my lady. I had hoped to receive your good council again as I did to resolve my conflict before. Perhaps... perhaps another time. |
| 35380 My anger has built to the point when I am shaking with pure rage. Iâ€â€I must speak to you! I must gain some reassurance! |
| 35381 Giant Troll's Head |
| 35382 Giant Rock |
| 35383 My father... that rude, drunken bastard! He has cast me out of the family when I was only doing what I must! I cannot take vengeance when there is no proof, and he knows it! |
| 35384 And yet... my heart cries out for vengeance! That my sister should lie murdered and the murderer laugh, untouched...! I am so full of hate I can barely control it! |
| 35385 Please, my lady... you are the one I turned to for guidance when I was torn. Did I do the right thing? Should the dictates of honor truly overcome duty and justice?! |
| 35386 Of course, Anomen... how would you feel if you killed Saerk and found him to be innocent after the fact? |
| 35387 It is not your place to seek justice... that is the duty of the law. You did all you could. |
| 35388 You must learn to control this anger, Anomen. You knew this was the right path... and it is the way of the Order as well. |
| 35389 I cannot answer you. This is for you to figure out. |
| 35390 This is not the time for us to discuss this, Anomen. You will have to come to terms with this yourself. |
| 35391 Aye... aye, that would be a stain to my honor I surely could not bear. But I still feel so helpless. Surely... surely Saerk will pay eventually for what he has done. |
| 35392 I feel a little better now, my lady. My thanks for your consolation. Nothing, however, will take away this burning pain in my heart. *sigh* Let us just move on. |
| 35393 Aye, but it feels so wrong that the law will find no one guilty of my sister's murder. I feel helpless, watching as my family has been beaten down and vanquished most cruelly. |
| 35394 I know what you say is true, my lady. But my sister lies cold and unavenged, and the murderer laughs free. Surely the gods will... make him pay. *sigh* I know I cannot. |
| 35395 But you were the one who advised me! How can I rest when I know that there was no other course than for me to avenge my sister?! The murderer is free, and my heart cries out for his blood! |
| 35396 And my father turns me away as well. My family truly is destroyed now, and what would the Order say of that? Do nothing. And now you abandon me as well. |
| 35397 I... I will have to think on this. It was... the path of honor, and I should be content. But... but... *sigh* No. I will not speak to you of this. Let us move on now. |
| 35398 My lady? Might I bend your ear for a moment? |
| 35399 Certainly, Anomen. What would you like? |
| 35400 If you must. |
| 35401 This really isn't the time, Anomen. |
| 35402 I have been thinking much on my Test of late. It will dictate my entire future, as the Order will decide whether or not I will be allowed into their ranks. |
| 35403 It is everything I have strived for... after years spent proving myself. I... don't know what I would do if I failed the Test... |
| 35404 And yet, suddenly I am quite sure that I will fail it. It is my heart that will betray me. I feel faithless and worthless in my soul... and they will know of it. |
| 35405 What do you think, my lady? Am I really so terrible? I have tried so hard, and yet it all seems to come to naught. Do you... do you think I will fail the Test as well? |
| 35406 No, I don't think you will fail, Anomen. You worry too much. |
| 35407 You may... and you should be prepared for such an eventuality. |
| 35408 You must be confident that you follow the right path, Anomen. If you follow your conscience, how can they refuse you? |
| 35409 I have nothing to say, Anomen. I cannot help you. |
| 35410 I don't see how you think you could pass. |
| 35411 *sigh* When is it the time, then? My heart rends in two with worry, and you have not even a minute for me. As you wish, my lady. |
| 35412 You... you truly think so, my lady? It is a pleasure to hear you say such, but I somehow doubt it will be so simple. Even if you are just reassuring me, I do thank you for it. |
| 35413 Aye, I must always be prepared. For failure. That is what comes to me most naturally, I suppose. If I pass the Test, perhaps it will be because the Order is blind. |
| 35414 Aaahh... the Test will come for me soon enough, I suppose. And I doubt there is much more I can do between now and then to rectify my failings. What will come will come. |
| 35415 Because I do not know my own conscience, my lady. I would not turn to others for guidance if I did... but I do thank you humbly for your counsel. You are most kind. |
| 35416 I suppose that is expected... You cannot counsel my heart, can you? I simply wish that I knew what my own conscience dictated. A worthy knight would know, yes? |
| 35417 No? There is nothing that you see that is worthy in me? Harsh words, but likely true. Always must I be prepared for failure, as that is all I ever seem to achieve. |
| 35418 You have made it plain for me, my lady. As plain as your thinly disguised contempt for my heart. I will pass or fail the Test, I suppose... but it will be no thanks to you. |
| 35419 I have come to understand a few things of your past, and I have a questionâ€â€if I might be permitted to pose it... |
| 35420 Go ahead and ask. |
| 35421 What exactly have you heard? |
| 35422 I'm not interested in discussing my past with you. |
| 35423 Now is not the time, Anomen. |
| 35424 I have been told a few things of your travels in the north and in Baldur's Gate in particular. Your adventures are... impressive, my lady. The equal of any great heroine. |
| 35425 Most in particular, however, I have been told of your defeat of the man Sarevok and the ruin of his plans for stirring war and strife in the area. |
| 35426 This man, Sarevok... I am told he was your brother. Is this true? |
| 35427 Not exactly, no. I didn't consider him any relative of mine. |
| 35428 Well... he was my half-brother, more or less. We... had the same father. |
| 35429 He was my brother in that I am a child of the god Bhaal, and so was he... if that's what you mean. |
| 35430 I am not about to discuss Sarevok with you. I killed him and destroyed his plans, and that's the end of it. |
| 35431 Ah, I see. I meant no offense, my lady. I suppose we all have things in our past that we do not wish all to know of. Please forgive my intrusion. |
| 35432 Of course, <CHARNAME>. I will not bother you with it, then. |
| 35433 You... speak so carefully, my lady, because you have been accused of some manner of relation with the dead god of murder, yes? He who was named Bhaal? |
| 35434 You need not deny it. I was surprised, however, since you have maintained an honorable existence. I... I cannot imagine what impulses your heritage must fill you with... |
| 35435 You need not deny it... I see evidence of this from some of your more base impulses. I do not judge you, however. I myself can lay claim to no pure heart. |
| 35436 This Sarevok was a man of great power and of similar godly heritage... and yet you maintained the higher road and saved the north from great chaos and destruction. |
| 35437 And yet surely the blood calls to you in some manner. How did you maintain your sense of good under such conditions? Did you see this as a test of your own, my lady? |
| 35438 Yes, I know of this. And I can see the signs. I cannot imagine what it must be like... and I can claim no purity myself, so I can only judge your actions. |
| 35439 I killed him because he feared me and forced my hand, no other reason. |
| 35440 I have always tried to do the right thing, regardless of any influence by my blood. |
| 35441 If it was a test, then I passed it. And that is all that need be said. |
| 35442 CLUB: This weapon class allows the character to use clubs. <DOTS1> <DOTS2> <DOTS3> <DOTS4> <DOTS5> |
| 35443 I am not discussing Sarevok with you, Anomen... or my activities in the Sword Coast. |
| 35444 Your situation is nothing like that of Sarevok and I, Anomen, so forget about it. |
| 35445 Club |
| 35446 Aye... and were that I could be so calm about my own. I do wish you would trust me with more details, but I have no need to pry. Forgive me, my lady. |
| 35447 Hmm. I suppose that is what I should expect, but your actions speak for themselves, regardless of your motivations. Perhaps this is something I should think on. |
| 35448 Come... let us continue on your journey so that I may think. |
| 35449 But you have not always succeeded, yes? I suppose calls of the blood do not need to rule one. Your actions belie whatever motivations you might have... something to ponder. |
| 35450 Then I shall leave you be, my lady, and quit disturbing you. 'Twas not my intent to pry. |
| 35451 There are more similarities than you might think, my lady. Just because my tale is not so epic makes it no less harsh. I shall have to think on this some more. |
| 35452 My lady... I have been pondering your situation for some time, this matter of your peculiar heritage... and I find myself filled with admiration and wonder for youâ€â€truly! |
| 35453 The blood of the former god of murder flows through your veins... and yet you are an honorable woman. You have done many great things and have earned respect. |
| 35454 How is it that you are able to do these things, my lady? Is there no internal struggle against urges you cannot control? Do you not feel awash in a sea of evil impulses? |
| 35455 My path is quite clear, Anomen. There is no internal struggle... I am not controlled by my blood. |
| 35456 There is always a struggle against my blood, but I do what I must. |
| 35457 There is nothing so melodramatic about it, Anomen. Get over yourself already. |
| 35458 I do not feel comfortable discussing this. |
| 35459 There is no struggle, you say? |
| 35460 A fine thing for you! How easy it must be not to have any emotion at all, to walk through life without any difficulty in controlling your darker urges! |
| 35461 I suppose I should just ride off now and impale myself on a spear and save the rest of the world the trouble, that I cannot walk through life as easily as you! |
| 35462 Just... just stand away from me, woman! I stand on the precipice of a test that will decide whether my dream dies, and you are not helping! Away from me, so that I might think! |
| 35463 Yes... always a struggle. And yet, you always manage to come out on top, do you not? |
| 35464 It must be so easy for you, my lady... you are a force for good, and this blood seems to have no powerful influence over you. "Always a struggle"? Bah! |
| 35465 If I had such evil blood in me, I would be writhing on the ground! I... I could not do what you do! Why must I constantly endure this?! |
| 35466 Melodramatic. I stand on the precipice of a test that will decide whether or not my life's dream dies, and I am being melodramatic. |
| 35467 I am full of an anger that I cannot quench, yet one that places my soul in peril... and this is something that I should get over? You are a cruel woman, <CHARNAME>. |
| 35468 Stand away from me, so that I might think in peace. Obviously, going to you for any sort of assistance was a mistake. |
| 35469 I thought we had become better confidantes than this. I stand on the precipice of a test that will decide whether my dream dies, and you are hesitant to even help me? |
| 35470 My lady, I have been pondering your situation for some timeâ€â€this matter of your peculiar heritageâ€â€and I find myself filled with questions that I am almost loath to ask. |
| 35471 Borok Thundercracker was a dwarven hero that led several campaigns against giants and other "tall vermin" that had plagued his people in a number of their communities.

| 35472 I see in your actions, at times, the urges that I can only assume to be from an evil god's blood. Yet you are not abandoned to this, or you would be indistinguishable from Sarevok. |
| 35473 Is there a struggle inside you, my lady? Do you have your rage bottled up inside you, as I do? Is there... is there a fight against evil in your heart? |
| 35474 There is no struggle, Anomen. I do what I like because I want to, that is all. |
| 35475 Of course there is a struggle. I do what I must to fight it. |
| 35476 It is nothing so melodramatic, Anomen. Get over yourself already. |
| 35477 I do not feel comfortable discussing this with you. |
| 35478 No struggle? So you lie to me yet again. What am I supposed to think of this? I, who am always full of struggle, know it when I see it in another. |
| 35479 How easy it must be for you, then, to wander through life without a care. I cannot have it quite so easy. I must worry over each action and its effect on my immortal soul. |
| 35480 Are... are you the one I am to speak to? I am... I am not sure what to do, and I... and I do not usually seek the guidance of the church. |
| 35481 I stand on the precipice of a test that will decide the fate of my dream, and now you have abandoned me to it! Stand away from me, then, and let me worry on my own! |
| 35482 Ah. I see. Things are that simple for you, are they, my lady? |
| 35483 I... I have always felt a kinship with the benevolence of Lathander, but today I am... I am unsure what to do. Please... don't say anything yet. Just... hear me out. |
| 35484 The adherence to duty has always made me feel a kinship with Helm, though others do not seem to share my feelings. Listen, please, and I will tell you my problem. |
| 35485 The chaos of my life has led me to Talos, though I do not know if anyone can help me. Please, just listen and I will tell you my problem. |
| 35486 This struggle against your blood is just chalked up to "trying harder" to fight against it? If only I could have it so easy. I am not so strong as you claim to be. |
| 35487 Had I your blood, I would be writhing on the ground in agony and calling to Helm in the sky to end my torture. Why must I be forced to endure this? Bah! |
| 35488 My wife and I... were always close, but lately my business has taken much of my time. It has been difficult, and I knew she was unhappy but... I... |
| 35489 I have found my wife in the arms of another. I am made a cuckold, and I don't know what to do. She was my guiding light, and now I am aimless. What do I do? Please, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, what do I do? |
| 35490 I... I am truly sorry, my lady. I asked a question of you, and my response to your answer was nothing short of reprehensible. Please... please forgive me. |
| 35491 Very well, Anomen. I suppose I can understand your situation. |
| 35492 Of course... it is no trouble. |
| 35493 Forget it, Anomen. I've received enough abuse from you... and more than enough apologies. |
| 35494 Fine, fine... but let's get moving. We haven't time for chitchat right now. |
| 35495 Laen Torg |
| 35496 The answer is obvious. Your honor has been maligned. Kill them both for their trespass! |
| 35497 She will realize where she belongs, I am sure. Do not make a crisis of this. |
| 35498 The sanctity of your vows are the highest duty. She must be reminded of this. |
| 35499 Forgive her, and let her move on if the time has come. It may be best. |
| 35500 Kill... kill them? Are you sure this is the right path? I do not dispute that some laws consider infidelity a crime, but is such a punishment deserved? |
| 35501 You must think me very odd to speak about my feelings and urges in such plain ways, but in the Order it is paramount to control these things. They have been part of my training. |
| 35502 And the more that time passes, the more I feel that I am not worthy to join the Order. My rage gets so out of control, often, that it shames me. What will the Order think? |
| 35503 This is how I have interpreted the word of Lathander. Do you dispute my wisdom? |
| 35504 I believe Helm decrees it through my interpretation of his word. Do you dispute this? |
| 35505 Laen Torg |
| 35506 Talos demands nothing less! You have asked and I have told! |
| 35507 *sigh* I wish I had your strength of resolve, my lady. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier to just give up on my dream and spare myself the worry. |
| 35508 Perhaps it is a bit harsh. Do nothing, and I am sure she will come back to you. |
| 35509 Then speak to her of duty, and she will realize she must obey her vows. |
| 35510 Then forgive her and move on. Nothing lasts forever. |
| 35511 Then that is the path I shall take. Yes, it becomes so clear to me now. I thank you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. You have helped me make the decisions I knew I must. |
| 35512 Do nothing? Yes, perhaps it is a minor tryst and not the crisis I had imagined. She will realize who is important. She will. Thank you. |
| 35513 Joining the Order is important to you, Anomen... you should remain vigilant and steel yourself. |
| 35514 Duty is all. Yes, I had thought as much. She will realize that her place is within the confines of the vows we swore. Thank you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I feel much better now. |
| 35515 Joining the Order is important to you, Anomen... you should remain vigilant and steel yourself. |
| 35516 You should not worry about these things so much, Anomen. Nothing is worth that much agonizing. |
| 35517 Perhaps... perhaps that is for the best. I would have her happy, wherever she chooses to be. Thank you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>; this was a difficult realization to come to. |
| 35518 You should not worry about these things so much, Anomen. Nothing is worth that much agonizing. |
| 35519 Maybe you should just give up, then. |
| 35520 I have nothing to say about it, Anomen. This is something you'll have to resolve yourself. |
| 35521 Your wisdom has helped. I shall think well of the church. |
| 35522 Aye, perhaps that is so. I have abused our friendship badly, and you must think me a very strange sort to speak so plainly about my urges and feelings. |
| 35523 'Tis the training of the Order, my lady. I must watch my every deed, my every thought, in the battle to keep myself pure. And it is a battle I fear I am losing. |
| 35524 I had simply thought that you were a kindred sort, <CHARNAME>. I see a similar struggle in you... and thought that, as a friend, you might understand me a little. |
| 35525 Perhaps I was hasty, then. I do wish to be your friend, Anomen. |
| 35526 Kindred or not, I've no need to hear your constant whining. |
| 35527 Fine, fine. Let's just continue on... we've no time for this chitchat. |
| 35528 Y-yes... thank you for your understanding, I suppose. I simply wish we had more time to speak. More important matters press, however... let us continue your journey. |
| 35529 You tell me this now, my lady? It was your suggestion that I seek vengeance on Saerk and his family. How vigilant do I seem with his family's blood on my hands? |
| 35530 I appreciate your assistance, but it is most confusing. I shall... try to remain vigilant, as you suggest, but I think I will need to work it out for myself. |
| 35531 Please leave me be. This is something that requires my own thoughts. I shall bother you no further. |
| 35532 I am not to worry over joining the Order? Fine advice, now that I sit and regret not paying my duty to my family. Saerk sits alive... on your advice, I might add. |
| 35533 I appreciate your assistance, <CHARNAME>, but it is most confusing. Perhaps the Order is not worth such agony... it is something I must devote some thought to on my own. |
| 35534 Aye. Your advice has always been constant, pointing me back towards the good. Saerk is alive, which is sad but is the lawful course. And... and the Order is my dream. |
| 35535 I shall try to remain vigilant, my lady. I have come this far already; it will not be much longer now. |
| 35536 Thank you, <CHARNAME>... your kind words gladden me more than I can say. Your advice means much... you are a... a dark flame, my lady, that I am drawn to almost against my will. |
| 35537 But 'tis a most pleasurable experience. You have been kind despite my own boorishness. Perhaps one day... we will speak of other things. I... I think I would like that. |
| 35538 Mmm. Your view of the Order's tenets are obvious. You advised me to do my duty by my family... and justice was brought to Saerk and his family, as it should have been. |
| 35539 Sir Greshal |
| 35540 Perhaps the Order is not all I have always thought it to be. Perhaps you are right to advise me to worry less... no doubt I would be happier. |
| 35542 Sir Greshal |
| 35543 I shall think on this. 'Tis a new thought that deserves exploration. |
| 35544 This is the advice I receive from you, my lady? To simply give up? No matter my worth to the Order or the Order's deservedness of my oath? |
| 35545 It seems that you know little of me after all. I had thought you a kindred spirit. Perhaps... perhaps I was wrong. *sigh* Let us just... continue, and I shall handle my problems myself. |
| 35546 Aye, which is no less than I expected. Always I must struggle on my own. You are wise, my lady... as always. I had simply hoped for... for more. |
| 35547 Let us just... move on then and continue your quest. It will not be long now anyway before my Test comes and my questions will be answered for myself. |
| 35548 I am glad to hear that, my lady. I see within you one who goes through a similar struggle as I do... although you do not complain about it half as much as I. |
| 35549 Then you shall not, disappointed as I am. I had thought you a friend and a kindred spirit. I see I was wrong. Let us move on, then, and I shall remain silent. |
| 35550 I'm here to see Jan Jansen. |
| 35551 Contact's Note |
| 35552 Contact's Note |
| 35553 Freedom |
| 35554 You! Thank you ever so much! You have saved my marriage! My wife, she was so touched that I cared for her happiness over my own. She has come back to me! |
| 35555 Freedom (Abjuration) Level: 9 Range: Special Duration: Instant Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None NOTE: Cast this spell in an area where you know someone is imprisoned, and they will be released. This is the reverse of the spell Imprisonment. When a creature is imprisoned, <PRO_HESHE> is trapped in a sphere far beneath the surface of the earth. If this spell is cast in the area where <PRO_HESHE> was imprisoned, it will instantly free <PRO_HIMHER> and <PRO_HESHE> will reappear exactly where <PRO_HESHE> was standing when <PRO_HESHE> was imprisoned. This spell will also cancel the effects of the spell Maze and return any characters trapped in the labyrinth of planes. |
| 35556 Energy Drain (Necromancy) Level: 9 Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None The casting of this spell opens a channel between the caster's plane and the Negative Energy Plane. The caster of the spell acts as a conduit between the two planes, sucking life from a victim and transferring it to the Negative Energy Plane, draining <PRO_HIMHER> of 2 levels of experience. The target of this spell loses levels, Hit Dice, Hit Points, and abilities permanently. These levels can only be restored by a priest's Restoration spell. |
| 35557 We are happy once more, and we owe it to you. Thank you. |
| 35558 My Test is coming very soon, my lady. I will need to go to the headquarters of the Order and speak to Ryan Trawl. I... I am not looking forward to the judgment I shall receive there. |
| 35559 Why not? Are they not fair? |
| 35560 I think I understand. |
| 35561 I'm tired of hearing about your Test, Anomen. Talk to someone who cares. |
| 35562 This is not a good time to speak, Anomen. |
| 35563 They are fair, my lady. I am not unsettled by the chance they will make the wrong decision... I am unsettled by the chance that they will make the right one. |
| 35564 I... have been thinking on what we have spoken of. I have studied to join the Order as long as I can remember, and suddenly I am unsure if I should even want to. |
| 35565 I have done as you said, and my wife and I are together once more. She was shamed by her breach of our vows, so we are united in our duty to the sanctity of our commitment again. |
| 35566 What if I am accepted into the Order and I find I have no true place in it? And what if I am refused... and I discover the future has no place for me? |
| 35567 Part of me is already sure of the answer to it. It seems like it would be so gratifying to throw off the shackles of hopeless duty, and yet the mere thought makes me ill. |
| 35568 There is not the spark we once had, but this is a more realistic pairing now. We have put out the fires of our youth. Thank you again. |
| 35569 I know, deep down inside, that I have maintained good faith. But... perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps I will only discover too late where my heart truly lies. |
| 35570 I... I have done nothing, and... and the situation with my wife is unchanged. She grows ever distant. I... thought you should know. |
| 35571 Goodbye. I shall not enter these halls again. |
| 35572 I'm sure everything will work out as it should, Anomen. |
| 35573 I... I have done as you advised. She... they are dead. It was... satisfying. Thank you, I owe you... so much. Perhaps I shall repay you... some night. |
| 35574 Perhaps you're right. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. |
| 35575 Let's just move on, Anomen. |
| 35576 I'm sure it won't be that bad... everything will work out as it should. |
| 35577 Perhaps you're right. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. |
| 35578 Let's just move on, Anomen. |
| 35579 I had thought that to be you, my lady. Obviously, I was mistaken. My apologies for offending you. |
| 35580 Of course, my lady. I shall keep my own counsel, then, so we can continue your journey. |
| 35581 <CHARNAME>! Over here! I have words for you about your duties within the church! |
| 35582 You will have new tasks now that you are among the true faithful. You have many perks within the church, and payment in service is the exchange. We shall try you on some basic duties first. |
| 35583 As a favored of Talos, you will hear questions from the mewling dogs that seek the guidance of the Storm Lord. These weaklings seek guidance, and you are to give it. |
| 35584 None of us do, of course! These worms are barely worthy of stepping upon the floor of the house of the Storm Lord! Nevertheless, you will hear them! |
| 35585 What if I do not want to help them? |
| 35586 How long will this service last? |
| 35587 A pleasure to serve in any way I can. |
| 35588 We all take our turn guiding the foolish. I shall send a few your way, and if you do well, perhaps you will not need to speak to any more. We shall see. |
| 35589 You will not think so after a few whining fools try to beg for gold or some other paltry service. |
| 35590 For now, guide them in the way of Talos. You must do what is best for the church, and that is all. Anything less and you will have your honors stripped. Clear? I will check on you after each one. |
| 35591 Well, let's just see how you've managed to stumble along, shall we? How does the wisdom you dispense measure up to Talos and his goals? |
| 35592 I hope that you are right, my lady. I have depended on your counsel up until this point, and it has always been good. Still, I am troubled within. |
| 35593 Let us go to the Order's headquarters in the Temple District as soon as possible, <CHARNAME>. I know it is time, and I would be glad to have it all over with. |
| 35594 You jest with me, my lady. I think you would do far better in my position. You are a strong woman. I, on the other hand, am too susceptible to my own desires. |
| 35595 *sigh* Of course, <CHARNAME>. But we must make a detour as soon as possible to the Order's headquarters in Athkatla. I know it is time for the Test. |
| 35596 I have been thinking about Sir Cadril and the Order, and I have decided I am well rid of them! I cannot believe I wasted so much of my life on such ignorant fools! |
| 35597 All the work and training, countless times proving myself over and again, only to discover that a life of denial and good deeds was not for me! I feel cheated, my lady. |
| 35598 But, then again, I also feel as if my burden has vanished. My chains have been lifted, and I can finally experience the things in life that I have always denied myself! |
| 35599 Do you understand me, <CHARNAME>? Good food, wine, and women! Adventuring without the need to prove myself! I am free! Ha ha! |
| 35600 Sounds like you have sour grapes. |
| 35601 That's good to see... you could use a little freedom, I think. |
| 35602 Are you sure you won't miss the Order at all? |
| 35603 Greater Restoration |
| 35604 Greater Restoration (Necromancy) Level: 7 Sphere: Necromantic Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, the life energy level of the recipient is raised. This reverses any previous life energy level drain of the creature by a force or monster. A Greater Restoration spell will also restore the Intelligence score of a creature affected by the Feeblemind spell and negate any form of insanity, such as confusion or berserk. It fully heals the target and cures any diseases or poisons. The casting of this spell is very draining on the priest, and <PRO_HESHE> will likely require rest immediately afterward. |
| 35605 Halfling Warrior |
| 35606 Halfling Warrior |
| 35607 Excuse me, but Acolyte Vilon said I should speak with you. He seemed to think you might have something to say to me. |
| 35608 Good for you. Now let's get going. |
| 35609 Yes? What is it you would like guidance on? I have wisdom for all who follow Talos. |
| 35610 I've done my charity for today. Take a walk. |
| 35611 If you've something to confess, I'm listening. |
| 35612 Hm, perhaps you are right, my lady. 'Tis difficult to lose even the worst of kinships after such a long association. But I do feel better than in a long while. |
| 35613 Look at me, then, and tell me truly, my lady: Am I not better this way? Unfettered and ready to experience life? A ready smile and a laugh on my heart? |
| 35614 No, I really don't think you understand. My name is Inspector Ardis, and I work for the city guard. Vilon and I have had an... understanding in the past. |
| 35615 No, I liked you better before. |
| 35616 Yes, this is much better. |
| 35617 I don't have an opinion either way. |
| 35618 Aye, I could at that! Too long has this poor knight frowned and growled... I've enough of it, to tell the truth. I long to laugh and do as I like... and, by Helm, I shall! |
| 35619 Miss that cadre of ne'er-do's and shan'ts? Miss the pedantic lectures and knights looking down their noses at me? Miss the constant badgering of goodness and law? |
| 35620 Well... perhaps a little. I have been part of the Order too long to shrug it off. But I know what is better for my heart. I feel lighter than I have since... since ever, I suppose. |
| 35621 So quick to move onwards, my lady? I know there is much that is urgent, but have you no desire to stop and look about you? The blue skies and fragrant flowers await us! Ha! |
| 35622 But I won't keep a beautiful woman waiting for me to quit my childish gazing about. I've no need to linger and look at pretty things so long as I am traveling with you, my lady. |
| 35623 Why do you look at me so? 'Tis true and fairly said. You've the grace of a painting and a confidence to win any man. Let us go, then, and complete your quest posthaste. |
| 35624 Ah, then you'll be waiting a long time for him. The stiff branch stands here no longer. I cannot imagine the appeal of my worrisome old self, but then I know the mind of a lady not. |
| 35625 I've come to this point partly from your own advice, <CHARNAME>. You do not like it? Fair enough... I do, and 'tis more than enough for me. |
| 35626 Well said and much appreciated by this formerly dour knight, my lady! 'Tis a grand thing to be complimented by a beautiful lady, especially one with your grace. |
| 35627 There's much I'd like to see and do... but for now, it will suffice to keep the company of such a grand woman as yourself. Come, let us complete your quest posthaste. |
| 35628 No opinion, eh? Shall I dance a jig for you, my lady? Perhaps some flowers picked from the field to please you and make you laugh? |
| 35629 I have become what I am partly at your urging, <CHARNAME>. I am a free creature now, and one that will win you away from your "no opinion" with a smile. |
| 35630 My lady, I have been watching you most intently these past few hours, and I have come to a conclusion about you... Would you like to hear my thoughts? |
| 35631 I overlook certain... aspects of your church's activities in exchange for information about some of your less important followers. I ask again, did you have something to say to me? |
| 35632 I will not speak of events that were told to me in confidence! Go away! |
| 35633 Oh, then you should know about Glinden. He's a murderer. Is there a reward? |
| 35634 Very well, though this is a bit of a change. The system has proven profitable in the past, but suit yourself. Goodbye. |
| 35635 A conclusion about me? What kind of conclusion? |
| 35636 If you must. |
| 35637 Ah, I see we will get along fine then. Glinden, eh? A merchant, isn't he? Shameful. I wonder what drove him to it? Yes, there shall be a reward. I will have it given to the church. No doubt you will see a share. |
| 35638 I'm not interested, Anomen. |
| 35639 When I first met you, my lady, I knew there was something about you that drew me. Some measure of your heart, some hint of darkness behind the light of your soul... I am not sure. |
| 35640 Thank you kindly. I'll be in the Government District if you want to speak further about other matters to come. Yes, we'll get along just fine. |
| 35641 I refrained from telling you how I felt, of course... it is not proper for a knight of the Order to be so unbecoming. But I am under no such restrictions now. |
| 35642 I have opened myself to you more than once, and I have followed your good advice. I have claimed you as a friend, and yet yearned for more than that. |
| 35643 You are a beautiful woman, <CHARNAME>... full of a life that I have always desired. I wish to experience new things, now that I am free... and I wish to be closer to you. |
| 35644 Turn me away or scorn me, I'll not fall away so easily. You have captured my heart with your enchanting spirit, <CHARNAME>, and there is naught that I can do to resist you. |
| 35645 Will you allow this poor, fallen knight to lay his rose at your feet, my lady? Allow me one kiss on your petal lips, and I shall be to heaven bound... |
| 35646 Ha ha! You may do as you like, good Anomen. |
| 35647 And what would you have me do for you, young Stormlord? This had better be important. |
| 35648 A kiss? I... I suppose so... |
| 35649 You can recite poetry as much as you wish, Anomen, but you'll not get a kiss from me. |
| 35650 Sorry to have bothered you. |
| 35651 Get your hands away from me, you lumbering lummox! I'll not have you pawing me like some overgrown boy! |
| 35652 Please be sure you actually have a point in coming to see me. Our relationship is not exactly the most socially acceptable. |
| 35653 Yes, yes, that's all very nice and happy. WHAT IN THE HELLS ARE YOU DOING?! Do you speak for Talos or do you not?! Talos is the Destroyer, the Raging One! |
| 35654 And you consider this a success? Do you understand the faith you are to promote? Talos is the god of destruction, of conflict! Where is the conflict in your solution? |
| 35655 Yes, that was a desirable choice. Their petty problems are hardly worth the ear of the church. Still, I'm sure there could have been greater destruction in the result. Keep this in mind in future. |
| 35656 Excellent. A lovely bit of destruction in the name of Talos, and I am sure the Storm Lord is pleased, though you did not take it the final step. |
| 35657 Ha HA! Marvelous! Death, destruction of vows, and coin for the church coffers on top! A fine coup against the forces of order. You will make a fine Stormlord. Here is your share of the reward. |
| 35658 Unholy Word (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Sphere: Combat Range: 0 Duration: Special Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None Uttering an Unholy Word spell creates magic of tremendous power. The priest acts as a bridge between <PRO_HISHER> god and the Prime Material Plane, causing a small explosion centered on the priest and reaching up to a 30-ft. radius. It affects only creatures of any good alignment that are caught in the area of effect. The effects vary depending on the target's Hit Dice: Hit Dice / Levels  Effects of Unholy Word Less than 4  Death 4 to 7  Stunned for 1 turn 8 to 11  Slowed for 1 turn with a 75% chance of spell failure 12 and up  Deafened for 1 turn with a 50% chance of spell failure There is no Saving Throw. The effects are instantaneous and last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. Note that priests of good alignment may not cast this spell. |
| 35659 But I am most interested, my lady. Be affronted, if you will, but the new Anomen will open his heart to the woman he follows into the jaws of death daily. |
| 35660 I advised a merchant to forgive his wife her transgressions. They are happy now. |
| 35661 I advised a man to remind his wife of her duty to their vows. It seems to have worked. |
| 35662 I told a man to not make a big production about his wife's infidelity. They still despair. |
| 35663 I advised a man to murder his wife and her lover. This seemed best. |
| 35664 I advised a man to murder his wife and her lover, and then turned him in for the reward. |
| 35665 Then close your eyes, and I shall do the same... we shall meet for a moment as if we were two innocents coming together in the dark. A single brush of our lips, a kiss... |
| 35666 ...and there... I shall savor this, my dear, this most sweet favor of yours. I know many pretty lines of poetry from my teachings, but I have never known the favor of a woman. |
| 35667 Of all the things I might wish to experience, this is the one I most longed for. A promise for what is to come. Let us... continue on now lest the others begin to stare. |
| 35668 I know many pretty words, my lady, from my long studies. But I have never known the favor of a woman as yourself. |
| 35669 You could turn the world aside with your power and skill as easily as you brush aside my advances... I follow you willingly and with vigor, and I shall continue to do so. |
| 35670 You've refused me, of course... no less than I expected. I am a poor excuse for a courtier and a poorer excuse for a lover, but I shall not give up so easily, my lady. |
| 35671 You may have captured me, but I am not so helpless... one day, I shall capture you, too. Either that or I am the simple fool that I appear to be, hmm? We shall see. |
| 35672 Now... let us catch up with our companions before their stares grow more curious. |
| 35673 Hah! You wound me with your words, my lady, but I am not so easily dissuaded. I know many pretty words, but I have never known the favor of a beautiful woman. |
| 35674 While the others retire to their sacks, might I persuade you to come with me somewhere away from their ears? My words are for yours alone. |
| 35675 Nowhere did Talos mention this "They are happy now"! No, I really do not think you understand the edicts of the Talassan faith! |
| 35676 I am sorry to say that it is my recommendation that you be stripped of your specialty priest status! You are no Stormlord! |
| 35677 Very well, I will go with you. |
| 35678 As you wish... but no funny business. |
| 35679 I am tired, Anomen... I wish only to sleep. |
| 35680 Forget it. Go somewhere by yourself if you want to be alone. |
| 35681 You disgust me. Get out of my sight. |
| 35682 This is not a total loss, for I am sure they chafe within the confines of their duty and will eventually succumb to their inner sorrow. That will have to do, I guess. |
| 35683 Come aside, then, and let us talk in earnest. I... I spoke to you earlier of my feelings for you, <CHARNAME>. If you thought that I was being facetious, then I apologize. |
| 35684 Still, I would have you remember that you are a servant of Talos, and his will must be demonstrated in yours. Do try harder. |
| 35685 Nothing would make me happier than to please you... and to lie with you tonight. I have dreamt about this moment, my lady, and I believe the moment is right. |
| 35686 I will summon another supplicant that wishes the church's ear. Listen well, and guide him in Talos's will. I will speak with you again in three days. You can tell me of the outcome then. |
| 35687 Here... in this place. Let me remove my tunic, and you may gaze upon my body, honed through years of exertion... and you may decide for yourself if I am worthy of you. |
| 35688 You are, Anomen... |
| 35689 I came here to talk, not to spend the night. |
| 35690 Forget it, Anomen. I'm not falling for a few lines. |
| 35691 Say no more, Anomen. You needn't exert yourself so just to warm my bed... |
| 35692 Come with me, then, for I consider nothing I have to say or offer to be funny. If you consider me flippant, then I apologize... my yearning for you is both true and honest. |
| 35693 There is time enough for all of us to sleep, my lady. But the time for an embrace comes seldom enough to those who face death on a moment's notice. |
| 35694 I had arranged for Inspector Ardis to meet with you. He has in the past been most cooperative, especially in dealing with those that confess to certain acts. |
| 35695 Please reconsider, <CHARNAME>. I cannot stand alone a moment longer, looking upon you without touching... Come aside with me, and let me speak plainly of these things. |
| 35696 Very well, I will go with you. |
| 35697 Fine... but no funny business. |
| 35698 Forget it... I said I wasn't interested, and I meant it. |
| 35699 Still, a fine result and one to be proud of. You begin to seem more a Stormlord each day. |
| 35700 I do not wish to be alone, my lady... I wish to be with you! For ones such as we, the time for solitude and love comes so seldom... do not turn me aside, <CHARNAME>, I beg of you. |
| 35701 Very well... I will go with you. |
| 35702 Fine... but no funny business. |
| 35703 No, Anomen... and I mean it. |
| 35704 Glad I am to hear it, my love. Never has a moment been more anticipated. Let me hold you tight through the night, then, as I show you how gentle a man may be... |
| 35705 This is talk, my lady... this is me telling you both of my desire and my love for you... I want to enfold you with my strength and feel yours. I want to listen to your heartbeat and feel it. |
| 35706 This is talk, my lady... this is me telling you of my desire and my love. I want to listen to your heartbeat, and I want you to feel mine. |
| 35707 I want to experience passion, <CHARNAME>, and I want to experience it with you. Please do not deny me this... I do not think I could stand it. |
| 35708 That's too bad. I'm going back to rest. |
| 35709 Very well then, Anomen... you've won me over. |
| 35710 These are not "lines," my lady. These are feelings honestly expressed. But if you cannot conceive of it, then I'll not bother you further. |
| 35711 I shall find another, <CHARNAME>. One day, perhaps... and I hope she will be as beautiful and alluring as you. |
| 35712 That saddens me, for my feelings were truly meant. If you cannot conceive of passion with me, however, I'll not force it upon you, nor bother you further. |
| 35713 I... ah... I wanted someone to talk to... about... some things? Can you spare a moment? |
| 35714 Hmm. I have been thinkingâ€â€I am still a bit bitter at being rejected by the Order, but... in many ways, I have never felt so... happy. Ha! Is that not odd? |
| 35715 Of course. Say what you must. |
| 35716 Yes, yes, it is my duty after all. |
| 35717 Speak! And make it quick! |
| 35718 Sometimes I find myself capable of believing anything. |
| 35719 And why are you so happy, Anomen? |
| 35720 Y-yes, I... ah... have a problem. I have... done something wrong. I... |
| 35721 Hmph. You're happy because we laid together, is that it? |
| 35722 Not now, Anomen. This is not a good time. |
| 35723 Aye, I know what you mean. I've seen much in recent days that easily rivals and even surpasses anything I have encountered before now. |
| 35724 But it is not just that. Not a month ago, I never would have foreseen this. Rejected by the Order, I would have thought my life over. But the freedom... it is most intoxicating. |
| 35725 I killed a man. It wasn't... it wasn't self-defense. Others have said it was, but I know better. He... he did issue a challenge, and we did fight, but he said such things... |
| 35726 I need no longer restrict myself to dusty codes of conduct and goodness. No more worrying about honor... I may do as I please and live life as I wish. And I have found you. |
| 35727 I am glad that I listened to your direction, that you chose to push me onto this path, my lady. I never would have rested with Moira's death being unavenged. |
| 35728 And I know that I have not done anything untoward. Helm has not been offended... he accepts my worship still. The Order has turned me aside, but my god knows better. |
| 35729 Things have gone well, I think. Helm has worked a mysterious trick on my destiny. We are meant to be together, you and I... I am interested to see what will come of it. |
| 35730 I agree... we are meant to be together. |
| 35731 I do not think you should talk so flippantly of what Helm is thinking... overconfidence can be dangerous. |
| 35732 He would not be quiet, and taunted me as we fought. I had the battle won, but I kept fighting. I could have let him yield, but I did not. I... I killed him. |
| 35733 I don't know if we're meant to be together, really. |
| 35734 Don't go making plans... you may not be around to see them through. |
| 35735 Anyone with combat knowledge would know from the description that I did not let him yield, that I beat him down with no remorse. I don't know what to do... |
| 35736 Simple. Kill all the witnesses. It was an innocent duel if no one is left to say differently. |
| 35737 You must turn yourself in. The word of law will dictate what your act really was. |
| 35738 You must make things right with restitution. Take responsibility and provide for his family. |
| 35739 This is not a matter for the courts. A simple duel gone awry. Let it pass. |
| 35740 This is not the solution I was looking for. Such a step is yet more despicable than I have already become. |
| 35741 Lathander speaks in mysterious ways on some matters. Trust me, I know best. |
| 35742 Helm would not have a duel spoiled by such accusations. Trust me on this. |
| 35743 Talos will delight in such destruction. If you seek direction from the church, this is it. |
| 35744 Then you must turn yourself in. The word of law will dictate what your act really was. |
| 35745 Then do what you must and make restitution. Take responsibility and provide for his family. |
| 35746 This matter will pass with no intervention on your part. It will be forgotten. |
| 35747 Then I shall do what I must. None will remain that can see to my dishonor. I thank you for your insight, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I shall have need of it again, I am sure. |
| 35748 That is the only course I can take, isn't it? It is my duty to face justice for my actions, and I shall be spared only if I am worthy of being spared. |
| 35749 Thank you. I will do what I must and hopefully live to be the wiser for it. Thank you. |
| 35750 Yes, I will make amends with the people that matter most. Locking me up will not ease their pain, so I shall seek their forgiveness with my servitude. |
| 35751 That is what I keep telling myself. Perhaps I am right. It was his challenge, after all. Yes, I see your point. Thank you for your understanding. |
| 35752 Unholy Word |
| 35753 Hmm. Do you suspect me of still being bitter against the Order, then, my lady? Perhaps a little, I am... but moreover I am glad to be rid of the yoke of that sad group of men. |
| 35754 Ha! That is part of my reasoning, perhaps, but not in the manner that your glare suggests. I have been touched by your heart and am the better for it by far, believe me. |
| 35755 Yes, yes, of course. I suppose I can espouse theories on the cause of my delirium at any time. Come, then, and let us continue our meanderings. |
| 35756 Well, I'm pleased to hear you say that, my lady. I've become quite used to your company over our time together... and I have no wish to see us part ways. |
| 35757 I think I know what Helm approves or disapproves of better than some, my lady. He has not abandoned me... at least not yet. |
| 35758 Deny it if you wish, my lady, 'tis destiny and there is no denying it. But... you are likely correct. Fate likely has a few surprises in store for us yet. |
| 35759 Aye. Death may come at any time for either of us, 'tis true. No one may know what fate has up its sleeve... but I'll make a wager on it regardless, my lady. |
| 35760 We are to rest now, are we? Well, that is good. Come, my lady... I wish to speak with you for a moment away from the ears of others. |
| 35761 I... have something I must say to you, <CHARNAME>. I do not wish you to think me flippant or lacking in sincerity... I mean this most honestly, what I will say. |
| 35762 I love you. A profound declaration, I know, but never have I felt its like. You have been patient and yet strong. You have set the recent course of my life, and I am the better for it. |
| 35763 My... my life is full of chaos now, and I wish for there to be one thing that is permanent. So I offer my heart to you, along with my service and my companionship. |
| 35764 I wish to remain with you until fate tears us apart, and even then I will brave death itself to be together with you. Will you have me, <CHARNAME>? Will you accept my heart? |

| 35767 I will accept it gladly, Anomen. |
| 35768 If that is what it will take to keep you at my side, I accept. |
| 35769 Death may take either of us at any moment, Anomen. I cannot accept your pledge. |
| 35770 No, Anomen... I do not love you. |
| 35771 Don't be ridiculous. You are out of your mind, fool, if you think I would ever accept such a pledge. |
| 35772 Most wondrous occasion! I will shout my love to the heavens themselves! I shall be your faithful servant and your lover... let nothing else come between us. |
| 35773 I... I hope that means that I have some measure of affection from you as well. If that is so, then I agree to your acceptance. I shall be your faithful servant for as long as fate allows. |
| 35774 Yes. Yes, you tell the truth of it. It matters not, my love... I shall remain at your side until this quest of yours is completed. And... perhaps then your mind will have changed its course. |
| 35775 Ahhhh... the truth burns my soul, to hear such words from your lips! |
| 35776 But... better to have it said now than to suffer at length. Turned away from the Order and my love both... 'tis my fate, it seems. |
| 35777 I shall say it only one more time, then... I love you, <CHARNAME>. I love you faithfully and truly, and that shall never end. And... and I shall bother you no more. |
| 35778 I am out of my mind, yes. Out of my mind with love and adoration. And yet, to be scorned so by you... it burns my soul to hear such. |
| 35779 I... I thought that there was more between us. Or perhaps you mean to drive me away, I am unsure. If so... you are successful in your plan. |
| 35780 I... I cannot stay, for I love you still and cannot remain in your sight knowing that you scorn me so. Farewell then, my love... you will see me not again. |
| 35781 A glorious day it is, m'lady! I have achieved my dream, and I owe much of that to your assistance and counsel. I... I am most grateful to you for it. |
| 35782 Thank you... I was happy to help. |
| 35783 I had nothing to do with it, Anomen. You were proving yourself long before I came. |
| 35784 You seem quite pleased with yourself. |
| 35785 Good for you... now we need to get moving. |
| 35786 And help you did. Meeting your group of fellows has affected me in the most fortunate way. To think I had such grave doubts... that seems like another time for me now. |
| 35787 I spoke to Sir Ryan Trawl before I left the headquarters... he wishes me to lead an expedition to the far south. I will have my own soldiers under my command, <CHARNAME>! |
| 35788 I was also told that they plan on giving me a squire or two, that I might teach my prowess to young initiates. That, and my own quarters within the Order building as well. |
| 35789 Fools! The mistress knew you would come! Fight then, and know you die for nothing! |
| 35790 Sir Ryan Trawl also mentioned that my duties with the Order could be put aside for the moment so that I might continue my travels with you. |

| 35793 This hideous torture room is dominated by a blood-encrusted drain in the center. It appears as if victims are thrown in the room to bleed out their lives on the cruelly spiked floor. Why the blood is collected in this drain remains a mystery. |
| 35794 Perhaps so, my lady, but my doubts almost derailed me from my quest. You led me through that dark path, and I have you to thank for it, modest as you might be. |
| 35795 Aye, I truly am. The recent days with my doubt and dark musings seem far enough away, like an unpleasant memory. Your advice and aid was what brought me through that. |
| 35796 Aye, indeed we do. Sir Ryan Trawl has told me I may remain with you for a while yet to complete the quest you have started. Lead on, fair lady, and I will follow faithfully. |
| 35797 You see this flower I have picked here? 'Tis a rare find... a crimson rhodelia, if I am not mistaken. |

| 35800 Fairy Dust |
| 35801 Fairy Dust |
| 35802 What of it? |
| 35803 It's a pretty enough flower. |
| 35804 Do you always go around picking flowers, Anomen? |
| 35805 'Tis a most stately flower, my lady. Its color has the most fiery temperament, yet its aroma is sweet. It is the flower of lovers, yet it is also the flower of vengeance and warriors. |
| 35806 It reminded me of you, my lady. Beautiful to look upon, yet with a powerful nature. I find myself drawn to its scent, giving myself over almost to distraction. |
| 35807 I would ask that you do not try to open it yourself... I sense great evil from it. And I do wish my brethren and I to remain safe here. |
| 35808 Oh, I pray that my god will someday forgive my great trespass and restore my sight! |
| 35809 I warned you not to open the sarcophagus! Run, my friends, run! |
| 35810 You are quite the flatterer, Anomen. |
| 35811 The vampire retreated to this coffin once you defeated it. If you have a wooden stake, you can try to kill it. |
| 35812 I dislike being compared to a simple flower. |
| 35813 Do not be an idiot, Anomen. I am no flower, and your poetry fills the area with an aroma far more powerful than any plant. |
| 35814 Not normally, no. And you may stare at me oddly, if you wish; I do not mind. I have grown accustomed of late to doing many odd things. Such as finding this rhodelia. |
| 35815 Nonsense, my lady. Flattery would imply that I was exaggerating. I find instead that this flower is but a pale imitation of the attraction you hold for me. |
| 35816 You may find what I say forward. And if you find it unwelcome, I shall desist. But I have discovered my feelings for you to have grown beyond that of mere friendship or alliance. |
| 35817 I have said many times how grateful I am, but I have never told you that I was attracted to you from the start... your heart and your bright soul, not to mention your beauty. |
| 35818 Do... do my words offend you, my lady? Have I overstepped myself? |
| 35819 And rightly you should be. It is but a pale comparison to your true beauty and possesses not a tenth of your merits... but it is the closest to you that I have found. |
| 35820 I... I was not trying to be an idiot, as you say, my lady. I was seeking to speak pretty words to you, as pretty words I know well. |
| 35821 But if I am... if I am being foolish, then I shall desist. Please forgive me for overstepping my bounds, my lady. I... I meant no harm. |
| 35822 No, I take no offense. I rather like it. |
| 35823 I take no offense, Anomen, but I rarely tolerate such foolishness. |
| 35824 You have, and I'll have no more of it. |
| 35825 I... I came back to say that I did what you said. None remain that saw the deed. It was a small merchant company, and few will notice their passing. |
| 35826 I am pleased. I know little in the way of pretty women such as yourself. My experience being thus, I'll express myself as best I am able, and be thrilled by your response. |
| 35827 Come, then, good lady. Let us continue on your quest... We can talk more at a later time, and I shall be free to compliment you at your leisure. |
| 35828 I was hoping not to appear foolish, my lady. I know little as to the favor of a pretty woman. My experience being thus, I try to express myself as best as I am able. |
| 35829 Do not tease me, though... I mean well and am honest when I speak of you, my lady. But I shall push no more... Let us continue our travels... we can speak more later of it. |
| 35830 I... I see. It was not my intent to offend you, my lady. I shall bother you no more with my sorry courting, then. Please... please forgive me. |
| 35831 Might I be able to draw you away from the others for a while as they prepare to sleep? I have something to speak to you of, and 'tis for your ears only. |
| 35832 Come then, come to your doom! Dare you breach the inner sanctum? I think not! |
| 35833 Very well, I shall go with you. |
| 35834 I'll go with you, Anomen... so long as there's no funny business. |
| 35835 Forget it, Anomen... I just want to sleep. |
| 35836 One ambush you have survived, but the battle is far from over. Find me upstairs in the room of blood and blades. |
| 35837 Think yourself brave enough to stand before me? Perhaps bravery is not enough! |
| 35838 Bravery, stupidity, whatever gets the job done! |
| 35839 It shall be enough this day to end your evil life, beast! |
| 35840 You are on the defensive, and yet you taunt! Such gall! |
| 35841 A galling response! Cattle such as you will spoil the herd! Your blood will remain stale on the stone of the floor when I am through! You are not worthy of being fed upon! |
| 35842 You cannot destroy me! I am your better in all things! Your blood will fill the halls of this place! You are not worthy of being fed upon! |
| 35843 The gall is yours to think I am on the defensive when I have led you as a mantis does her prey! You will fall here, and you death shall be... delicious! |
| 35844 For Mistress Bodhi, I will eviscerate you! She shall have tapestries of your sinew and bone! Come! Come to your end! |
| 35845 Crypt King |
| 35846 Crypt King |
| 35847 You pound the stake through the vampire's foul heart. The creature shall prey no more on the blood of others. |
| 35848 Now that we are alone, I wish to tell you my adoration of you is sincere. I have met no one like you before, my lady, and I suspect that I will meet no one like you again. |
| 35849 The vampire is truly dead, and the coffin reeks of carrion. There is nothing else you can do with it. |
| 35850 You have become the captain of my soul, and have kept me on the path of righteousness and good... and aided me in achieving a dream I had nearly thought to be impossible. |
| 35851 I... I wish to become closer to you, <CHARNAME>. I wish to feel you in my arms, to caress your skin and lie with you in the night. |
| 35852 Am I being too forward with you, my lady? Would you find a poor knight such as I an acceptable lover? I... would not be offended if you did not; I yearn only to be with you. |
| 35853 You are not being too forward, Anomen... I wish to be with you as well. |
| 35854 I have no objections, so long as you stay with me. |
| 35855 I came here to talk, Anomen, nothing more. |
| 35856 Forget it, Anomen... I've no interest in this. |
| 35857 I find nothing funny in what I wish to speak to you of, my lady. Know that all I say comes from my heart and is not meant to be frivolous or flippant. |
| 35858 You feel very uneasy as you approach the sarcophagus. The lid looks heavy, but you could remove it if you wish to. |
| 35859 The stench of death assaults your nostrils as the lid slides back. A feeling of raw evil power emanates from four golden bones that lie within, two complete arms and two complete legs of a golden skeleton. Magical energy swirls in the air around you, and a creature appears. |
| 35860 There is time enough for sleep, is there not? We have little enough time in our dangerous lives to steal a moment for ourselves... can I not persuade you to consider what I say? |
| 35861 Very well, Anomen. I will go with you. |
| 35862 Fine. But nothing funny. |
| 35863 No, Anomen... I said no, and I meant it. |
| 35864 The sarcophagus is now empty. |
| 35865 I am glad to hear it, my love. Come to me, then... I shall remove my too-worn armor, and we can lie together for the eve... and I shall show you the love that I hold for you... |
| 35866 I would yearn to hear words of reciprocation... but I shall accept your agreement for now. I hope, in time, you will feel the same passion for me that I do for you. |
| 35867 For now, however, I shall be content to show you passion... let me remove my worn armor, and we may lie together, and I will be content for a time, with you... |
| 35868 This is talk, my lady... this is me telling you of my desire and my love. I want to listen to your heartbeat, and I want you to feel mine. |
| 35870 I want to show you the depth of the passion I feel for you, my lady. If you... if you truly do not wish it, however, I will understand. |
| 35871 Very well, Anomen... show me your passion, if you wish. |
| 35872 I do not wish it. I would prefer to go back to the camp now. |
| 35874 Don't be a fool, Anomen. I said no, and I meant it... and I resent having to tell you twice! |
| 35875 The pool is filled with what is obviously blood. You can enter the pool if you dare. |
| 35876 As you wish, my lady. Perhaps the time is not right, or... perhaps you do not feel the same as I. I wish no answer just yet. I am content to remain at your side, a follower and companion. |
| 35877 You enter the blood pool and find a mace at the bottom. The blood makes you feel sick, however. |
| 35878 There is nothing else of interest in the pool. |
| 35879 I... I meant no offense. I only wished to express myself, and I seem to have done a poor job of it. I shall bother you no further, then, with my clumsy and inexperienced efforts. |
| 35880 I have been thinking of many things now, as we travel. I must admit that I never have felt happier and more content... and yet a week ago I would not have thought this even possible. |
| 35881 At last, you've arrived. These spiders were starting to make me nervous. Allow me to open these doors for you. |
| 35882 Haz |
| 35883 Haz |
| 35884 Alphonse |
| 35885 Fleshy! Go forth and open the doors! Now, you stupid creature! Now! <CHARNAME>, I trust you're prepared. |
| 35886 Why are you so happy? |
| 35887 I'll believe just about anything these days. |
| 35888 Good for you... now let's keep moving. |
| 35889 Talos delights in the destruction. You have done well, but you are not finished. |
| 35890 Let's keep this straight, son. I did not tell you to do this. I only suggested advice. |
| 35891 Then your problem is at an end, unless someone else accuses you. |
| 35892 You too will die for disturbing my rest. |
| 35893 Not finished? What do you mean? I dearly wish this matter to be ended! |
| 35894 Soon, when I take your murderous head to the authorities, Talos will profit in your death. |
| 35895 And ended it is. Go, and never return lest you draw attention to our exchange. |
| 35896 Ahh, but what if someone were to accuse you? Someone you could not kill? |
| 35897 But you speak with the will of the church, do you not? Have I not acted as I should have? I came to you for guidance, and now I am to be cast aside? |
| 35898 I am ruined! I sought your help, and I am ruined! My soul is damned over this! |
| 35899 This matter is closed. Go, and never return lest you draw attention to our exchange. |
| 35900 There is no one else. I have done what I must, and there is no one left except... except you. You would not turn me in, would you? It was your guidance that shaped my actions! |
| 35901 I offered only advice on a possible course. You did what you did of your own volition. |
| 35902 Of course I wouldn't, but I hope that your fear will cause you to reform. |
| 35903 I might turn you in, though not without giving you opportunity to change my mind. |
| 35904 Never return? Is the church not pleased with what I have done? It was your recommendation, after all. I will go, but you have not eased my worries. |
| 35905 What? But it was your advice! No, I'll not let you! I'll not! |
| 35906 I am simply glad, my lady, that things have worked out as they have. I am a full member of the Order, as I have always wished, and my heart has never felt so calm. |
| 35907 I have also been thinking of Saerk... and I am glad that you pushed me to refrain from taking vengeance on the man. There was no real evidence of his involvement, was there? |
| 35908 It would have been wrong of me to listen to my father's ravings. Moira... she would not have wanted me to take bloody vengeance for her, not if it wasn't true. |
| 35909 And, if... if Saerk did those things... well. Well, he will pay for them. Someday... I suppose. The gods will see to that. |
| 35910 You don't sound very convinced of that. |
| 35911 Aye, I know what you mean. I have seen things in recent days that easily rival and surpass the few adventures I have had throughout my life. But that is not the entirety of it. |
| 35912 Aye, perhaps now is not the best time to talk. I only wished to thank you, my lady... for pushing me towards keeping the righteous path during that business. |
| 35913 It... it would not have been right for me to take vengeance. And I achieved my dream in the Order, after all that. Father... will just have to be satisfied with things as they are... yes. |
| 35914 Ah, but yet I ramble on, don't I? Come, impatient woman... let us keep moving, then. |
| 35915 Hm? Perhaps I don't at that. I simply find myself thinking of my father, alone in the mansion and drinking himself away with bitter thoughts of myself and my sister. |
| 35916 I hope that he will find it in himself to forget about Saerk and rebuild what he has lost. Perhaps he can find a new wife... lose the hatred that festers in his heart as I have. |
| 35917 Ahhhh, it is a simple hope, is all. But not likely. Perhaps Father will speak to me again when I next return to him. Moira... Moira would want me to, I think. |
| 35918 *sigh* But the thought saddens me now when I wanted to think of glad things. Such as you. Come, my love... let us move on now. |
| 35919 We are going to rest here, are we? Then let us away to a secluded corner for a moment. I am eager to express something to you that I have been mulling over all day. |

| 35926 Ti'Vael's Head |
| 35927 Ti'Vael's Head |
| 35928 I just came back to thank you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. You have saved my honor and my soul. I have made partial restitution to the family of the man I dueled, and they have forgiven me. |
| 35929 His death was not the terrible loss I had imagined, for he was as abrasive to his kin as he was to me. I have made the effort to fill the hole left by him, a hole he had not tried to fill in some years. |
| 35930 I owe you greatly. I will follow the example you have set with your wisdom. Thank you again. |
| 35931 I have returned to evaluate your performance with those that seek the advice of our lord Talos. What have you to tell me about Ti'Vael the dwarf? How did his problem work out? |
| 35932 I told him to kill the witnesses of a crime he committed. Then I killed him for it. |
| 35933 I am not done with him just yet. I have plans to speak with Inspector Ardis. |
| 35934 I told him to kill the witnesses to his crime, then turned him in for the reward. |
| 35935 I told him to kill the witnesses to his crime, then killed him and gave his head to the guards. |
| 35936 I told him to kill the witnesses of a crime he committed, then told him to never return. |
| 35937 Interesting solution, and quite favorable in the eyes of Talos, I am sure. I wonder if there couldn't have been a way to profit more from it, but the destruction of the man's life is reward enough. |
| 35938 You have done well in service to the Storm Lord. I will have another young hopeful sent to you as soon as possible. I will return in a few days to review your accomplishments. |
| 35939 Be quick about it. I have to report on your value as a "servant" of the people. |
| 35940 Well done! Death and destruction all around, a man's life ruined, and profit for the church as well. That he lives to suffer is even more fitting. |
| 35941 Excellent! Destruction, death, and the damning of a soul to torment. Talos surely approves. |
| 35942 You have settled in, I trust? I will be your tutor in your duties here as one of Helm's chosen. You have many things you are responsible for. |
| 35943 You have many benefits that others of the order do not, so you will provide extra service as payment. There are some basic duties you will be given, but they are also very important. |
| 35944 As a favored of Helm, you will hear questions from those that seek guidance in their duty. You will steer them on the true path to Helm's grace. |
| 35945 Is this necessary? I do not know what I would have to offer. |
| 35946 How long will this service last? |
| 35947 I will honor my duty as best that I am able. |
| 35948 You have the wisdom that has secured your position within the church. You will dispense it to those that are needy. This is a sacred trust that you are given. Do not disappoint. |
| 35949 It shall last until it is completed. We all take our turn offering guidance. This is a sacred trust, and you should take honor in the opportunity. |
| 35950 I thought you might. It is a sacred trust, and you should be proud to be able to offer help to those that seek their place in life. |
| 35951 We will proceed with caution at first. I shall evaluate you following the results of each session. Usually, the faithful return in a few days to tell how they made out. I shall return when this is so. |
| 35952 Now I ask you how you have fared with your first assignment. What is the result of the meeting you had with Glinden? |
| 35953 I advised him to forgive his wife her transgressions. They are happy now. |
| 35954 I advised him to remind his wife of her duty to their vows. It seems to have worked. |
| 35955 I told him to not make a big production about his wife's infidelity. They still despair. |
| 35956 I advised him to murder his wife and her lover. This seemed best. |
| 35957 A fortuitous result, though you advised him improperly. To simply walk away from the sanctified vows of marriage is an affront to duty. You got lucky, but in the future, you must stress the importance of responsibility. |
| 35958 I will have another young worshipper sent to you. Be sure to advise them as pleases Helm. The results are important, but the means are more so. I will return to you in three days. |
| 35959 Of course it has. They merely needed to be reassured that duty is above all, and that reverence for such duty is the way to happiness. |
| 35960 Of course they do! You should have stressed the importance of their duty to one another. They have nothing if they do not have this responsibility. You have not done well in this matter. |
| 35961 While the crime she committed was dire, and the abandonment of her vows is an affront to duty, death was far too harsh a punishment. You have failed in this matter and must do better. |
| 35962 I have returned to evaluate your performance of your duty to Helm. What have you to tell me about Ti'Vael the dwarf? How did you advise him to deal with his problem? |
| 35963 The katana is a single-edged, slightly curved sword that ends with a chisel point. The katana is perhaps one of the finest swords ever made, the steps to its creation a long and secret process that is more art form than anything else. This blade is an important facet of Kara-Turan culture. To touch or wield a samurai's katana is to insult the samurai and to incite his wrath. For a gaijin, or foreigner, to own such a blade is a rare occurrence. Either the gaijin is a greatly honored friend of an important minister, or the gaijin has murdered a samurai.

| 35964 I told him to kill the witnesses of a crime he committed. Then I killed him for it. |
| 35965 I told him to kill the witnesses of a crime he committed and never return here. |
| 35966 It... uh... worked out for the best. Yes, he's much better now. |

| 35970 This is not the way of Helm! There were innocent souls requiring help, and you led them down the path of chaos! You have failed in your duty! This is inexcusable! |
| 35971 You have misrepresented the Watcher and made a mockery of your role as a protector! I have no choice but to recommend you be stripped of the honor of specialty priest! |
| 35972 You are no longer welcome here as a favored of Helm. Go, and ponder the honor you have lost! |
| 35973 I see. You do realize that you have been under close scrutiny in your time here? Not only have you failed in your duty, you have led innocent souls down the path of chaos! |
| 35974 Your duty to the church is finished here. Go, and do not darken these halls again. |
| 35975 Hello there, I am Lara, and I shall be your tutor. Not that you need schooling, but you might be unfamiliar with the duties you are to perform. |
| 35976 In exchange for the many benefits you will enjoy as a favored of Lathander, you will have a few tasks to perform while here. They are humble, but very important. |
| 35977 You are to lend your wisdom to the wounded and afflicted, those that are suffering from a misdirection of the heart. Guide them in the light of the Morninglord's glory. |
| 35978 I am but a humble <PRO_MANWOMAN>. What could I offer? |
| 35979 How long must I render such service? |
| 35980 It will be a joy to serve. |
| 35981 You were placed above others for a reason. I am sure that you have the experience to guide others through their troubles. It's an honor to be asked. |
| 35982 We all take our turns, <CHARNAME>, so it is not a permanent designation. It is considered an honor to be asked though. |
| 35983 I'm sure it will. We have all done it in the past, and will do so again. It is an honor to be asked. |
| 35984 We shall introduce you slowly to the work. I shall send you someone that needs the guidance of Lathander, and then we shall evaluate how you have done. I will return when appropriate. |
| 35985 Well, <CHARNAME>, shall we see how you have done with your task? What was the result of your meeting with the troubled Glinden? |
| 35986 I advised him to forgive his wife her transgressions. They are happy now. |
| 35987 I advised him to remind his wife of her duty to their vows. It seems to have worked. |
| 35988 I told him to not make a big production about his wife's infidelity. They still despair. |
| 35989 I advised him to murder his wife and her lover. This seemed best. |
| 35990 This was best, in Lathander's eyes. Forgiveness is a great healing agent, and it can conquer the hardest heart. You have done very well in this matter. Your judgment is sound. |
| 35991 I shall have another young worshipper sent to you soon. You will continue to school them in the ways of Lathander. I know you will not fail us. I will return to evaluate you once again. |
| 35992 Ahh, but such a reliance on the vows themselves may make strains upon the heart. If they can function as a unit by following this course, then all is well, but perhaps it could have been better. |
| 35993 As well they might. Ignoring the problem will not cause it to go away. I shall have some counseling arranged for them. In the future, please advise more active solutions. |
| 35994 By the Morninglord! In whose estimation did you think this best?! I cannot imagine a greater lapse in judgment! You are not fit to guide people in the ways of Lathander! |
| 35995 Consider yourself stripped of the title of Morninglord! You are no longer a priest of this or any other temple. Get out! |
| 35996 Do not darken the eternal dawn of this place with your presence. Get out. |
| 35997 Once more I have come to examine the advice you have given those in need. Tell me, how did you fare with Ti'Vael the dwarf? How did you advise him? |
| 35998 I told him to kill the witnesses of a crime he committed. Then I killed him for it. |
| 35999 I told him to kill the witnesses of a crime he committed and never return here. |
| 36000 It... uh... worked out for the best. Yes, he's much better now. |
| 36001 It... uh... worked out for the best. Yes, he's much better now. |
| 36002 But... that is monstrous! Do you claim to walk in Lathander's light while dispensing such direction?! No, we will not tolerate this behavior... this lack of judgment! |
| 36003 I had hoped you would at least reveal the ugliness you have perpetrated, but no, you choose to lie! You have been watched, albeit too late to change what you have wrought! |
| 36004 No need to tell me how your latest piece of advice turned out. You sent a man to confess his crimes to ease his soul and satisfy his sense of duty. I have only one thing to say. |
| 36005 What are you thinking? You missed a great opportunity here! He could have been provoked into more destruction, or some way might have been found to profit from his misfortune! |
| 36006 I will have another supplicant sent to you, but you have to remember to keep your advice within the tenets of the guidance of Talos. I will return to evaluate you in a few days. |
| 36007 You make me sick! Many witnessed your little display with that dwarven fool! This is not the way of Talos! Where is the destruction? Where is the mayhem? |
| 36008 You may think you have nothing to report to me about your advice to the dwarf Ti'Vael, but I know better. A friend in the guard has informed me that he is dead. |
| 36009 He apparently was killed by a group hired by the family of the man he murdered. They were only to find out what really happened, but the group got a little... excited. |
| 36010 So your benign advice put him off his guard and got him killed. I question the method, but the results please the church. In the future, try to expand upon the chaos caused. |
| 36011 I have been advised by friends in the guard that you sent your last confidant to turn himself in. He apparently said that you made him aware of a greater duty he had to fulfill. |
| 36012 You have done exceptionally well. By taking responsibility, he has spared his soul a most dreadful anguish. This adherence to a higher law is very agreeable to Helm's teachings. |
| 36013 I will have another person sent to you for guidance. Teach them in the ways of the Watcher. You will serve them well, I am sure. I will return in a few days for the result. |
| 36014 I have heard of the direction you gave the dwarf, Ti'Vael. You were perhaps a bit naive in your judgment of the situation. All has ended well, though the greater law has still been breached. |
| 36015 He has taken responsibility for the kin of his victim, and I suppose that is enough. Very good, though perhaps it could have been better. We shall see how you fare in the future. |
| 36016 A friend in the city guard has informed me about a sad occurrence. The dwarf you gave guidance to has turned up dead. It would seem that he thought his crime would go unpunished. |
| 36017 He was killed by a group of mercenaries. The kin of the man he murdered apparently could not afford professionals, and their cut-rate cutthroats got a little overzealous in gathering facts. |
| 36018 No deed goes unpunished, especially when you do not take responsibility. Keep this in mind in the future when giving suspect advice, <CHARNAME>. |
| 36019 I have been speaking with some followers that belong to the guard, and they tell me that the dwarf Ti'Vael turned himself in on your advice. |
| 36020 While the law is served in this case, I cannot help but wonder if the actual victims could not have been better provided for. Still, Ti'Vael will pay what penalty he thinks he must. |
| 36021 I shall have another of the faithful sent to you soon. School them in the ways of Lathander. I will return in a few days to see the outcome. |
| 36022 When I first met you, my lady... there were many things that went through my head. The possibility that you were not what you seemed, for instance. |
| 36023 But what was most striking was the immediacy with which you afflicted my heart. I ignored it, denied it... until recently. And now it consumes my every waking moment. |
| 36024 I am completely in love with you, <CHARNAME>. I follow you into battle, trust your wisdom without reservation, and would, without hesitation, give my life to protect you. |
| 36025 You are a fine sight for my eyes, <CHARNAME>. I heard of what you did for Ti'Vael, and I can't think of a more fitting end to this scenario. You have done Lathander proud. |
| 36026 There is so much chaos in your... in our... life, I find myself yearning for something that is permanent. I... would not ask you to promise anything you could not give, my lady. |
| 36027 I have spoken to some of the faithful that work in the city guard, and they tell me that Ti'Vael, the dwarf you counseled, has turned up dead. |
| 36028 There is death waiting around every corner for us, I know. All I ask, then, is that you accept me as your servant... that in the days to come, we shall struggle to remain together... |
| 36029 That we shall not abandon each other. If I continue to remain with you, my love... I could not bear our parting. If... you cannot see that for us... please... tell me now... |
| 36030 He was killed by a group of mercenaries. The kin of the man he murdered apparently could not afford professionals, and their cut-rate cutthroats got a little overzealous in gathering facts. |
| 36031 Really, <CHARNAME>, the advice you gave him could have been a little more proactive and could have prevented this. If he had taken responsibility... well, what is done is done. |
| 36032 I love you too, Anomen... and I do not want us to part either. |
| 36033 I do not know what the future will bring, Anomen... but I do not want you to leave me. |
| 36034 The future is too uncertain, and I have too much else that I must do. I cannot accept your pledge. |
| 36035 I am sorry, Anomen, but I do not love you. |
| 36036 Don't be ridiculous, Anomen! You must be out of your mind to talk like this! |
| 36037 That you say this... pleases me more than I can express. Suddenly I have the desire to shout my love to the heavens themselves. But I shall refrain... for now, at least. |
| 36038 Let us return to the others, then, and spend the night together... and when we awake, we shall continue on your quest. |
| 36039 I had hoped that your affection would rival mine, but it would be too much. I am glad to remain... and I will bear up under the possibility that you may grow to love me yet. |
| 36040 I will prove myself worthy to you, my love. Let us... let us return to the others so that we may continue on your quest tomorrow. |
| 36041 Aye, you speak the truth of it. This knight shall remain at your side regardless, because he loves you yet... I shall protect you regardless of your desire. |
| 36042 And I shall bear the hope that, one day, you shall change your mind. Let us return to the others, then, and rest as we should. Tomorrow, we can continue the journey anew. |
| 36043 Ahhhh, to hear the words from your lips burns my heart! |
| 36044 But you are a merciful lady, 'tis true. Better to tell me now and be quick with it. I shall tell you only once more then, and I shall be silent afterwards... I love you. |
| 36045 And now I shall bother you no more. Let us... let us return to the others so that we might get our rest. |
| 36046 I... I am out of my mind. I am out of my mind with love and with passion. You occupy it completely, and to hear you scorn me so hurts... hurts me more than I can bear. |
| 36047 That you have led me this far saddens me... I trusted you, my lady. I trusted you, and I gave you my heart, and you have abused it. Was I... was I so unworthy? |
| 36048 But you have spoken your will, and I shall not disregard it. But... nor can I stay. I shall say this only once more, then, and then I shall be on my way... I love you. |
| 36049 And now I shall bother you no more. I... I am sorry, my love, that... that this did not work out between us. Fare you well... |
| 36050 Wait, now, who approaches here? |
| 36051 Anomen Delryn, son of Lord Cor... I have found you at last. I have been looking for you for quite some time. |
| 36052 Well, you have found me now, messenger. Out with your news. |
| 36053 I have a letter for you... it is from your father, Lord Cor. |
| 36054 The drunken bastard sends you to track me down simply to deliver a letter? It must be dark news, then. Hand it over, boy. |
| 36055 Aye... your father bade me to track you down wherever you might be. With good gold as well. Here is the letter... and I shall leave you then, my commission done. |
| 36056 Yes, yes, as you wish. |
| 36057 Now, as for this letter... |
| 36058 ... |
| 36059 ...no... no, Helm's mercy, no! |
| 36060 What is it, Anomen? What's wrong? |
| 36061 My... my father writes, here: "...the authorities have found Moira's murderers... a pair of disgruntled workers who were once under my employ..." |
| 36062 "...not finding anything of worth, they demanded valuables from your sister and killed her when she could produce nothing. The men have been caught and confessed all..." |
| 36063 "...I hear that you have failed the Order, so this should come as no burden to you. Your assistance with Saerk has restored my business regardless, so I suppose I should thank you..." |
| 36064 "...but, my fortunes restored, I cannot afford to have a scandalous son hanging about. A murderer and a failure... so I have declared that you are no longer my son..." |
| 36065 "...it is not that I am ungrateful, but it just will not do to have myself associated with such a pathetic personage. Bad for business, you see. Regards... Lord Cor Delryn..." |
| 36066 I... I lost everything I worked towards to perform my duty for my family... at his insistence... and he disowns me! He disowns me! |
| 36067 That's terrible! I feel so awful for you! |
| 36068 Forget him, Anomen. He's not worth your anger. |
| 36069 You must go and take vengeance on him immediately! |
| 36070 You... feel awful... |
| 36071 Not... not worth my anger... |
| 36072 ...vengeance... |
| 36073 NO! I am not about to listen to you! Ahhh, foulsome wench! I... I have murdered an innocent man and his daughter! I lost the Order! And ALL OF IT AT YOUR URGING! |
| 36074 You are the one that has pushed me down this path! I... I cannot believe I have done all of this! For you! For my father! |
| 36075 You blame me?! Why are you doing this?! |
| 36076 Anomen, I did not mean for this to happen! |
| 36077 Do not blame me for what you have done, Anomen! I did not push you into this! |
| 36078 Do not turn your anger on me, Anomen, or you'll regret it! |
| 36079 I... I am doing what I must, <CHARNAME>. I love you... and I have lost everything. You... you did what you thought right... I forgive you, my love. But... but my father... |
| 36080 ...my father and I have a reckoning that will not be stopped. Him I do not forgive, nor will I ever. I am sorry, <CHARNAME>, but I must go to Athkatla now... |
| 36081 ...I must go and atone for what I have done. And my father will atone with me. Fare... fare you well... |
| 36082 Aye, but it is happening anyway. As it must, for I have lost everything. You... you I forgive, for you meant well. But my father... |
| 36083 Aye... aye, you are right in that. You meant well and are not responsible for my heart. I cannot blame you, my love. But... my father... |
| 36084 Aye... you do not deserve my anger. What you did... you meant well by me, at least. I cannot blame you, my love. But... my father... |
| 36085 This is the end, Father. Your thoughtless cruelty destroyed Mother, it destroyed Moira, and it destroyed me! I shall atone for my evil acts, and so shall you! |
| 36086 I am no priest, my former son... you'll not see me bowing before any altars! Best be on your way before I get angry! |
| 36087 You'll atone, Father, whether you like it or not. I shall kill you... we shall die together and end this madness as it should be ended! |
| 36088 You... you would kill me?! Bah! You're too weak to go through with such an act! |
| 36089 It is no act. Prepare yourself, Father, for I... what?! <CHARNAME>? What are you doing here?! |
| 36090 I came to stop you, Anomen. You cannot kill your father. |
| 36091 I came to see what you intended to do. |
| 36092 I came to help you. |
| 36093 Why not, my love?! Tell me why he should not die! |
| 36094 He is not responsible for what happened to you, Anomen. And you know it. |
| 36095 This will take you further down the path toward evil, Anomen... do not do it. |
| 36096 It's time for all this hate to end, Anomen... and you have to be the one to stop it! |
| 36097 Because I love you, and I don't want you to do this to yourself! |
| 36098 You have seen, then. And you know. Do you intend to stop me? |
| 36099 Yes, I do. You must not do this. |
| 36100 No, do as you will. |
| 36101 Actually, I intend to help you. |
| 36102 I intend to do this myself. I do not want you to dirty your hands, my love... but I will not stop whatever you intend. As I said before, then, Father... prepare yourself! |
| 36103 Very well, then. I... I had no wish for you to see this, but it matters not. I am atoning for what I have done... and Father... as I said before... prepare yourself! |
| 36104 Aye... aye, you speak the right of it. Father is not responsible solely for what I have done... it has always been I... |
| 36105 There is an evil in my heart. I have always known this, and I spoke of it to you. Hate and anger, twisted and black... and I... I cannot control it. But... nor can I live with it... |
| 36106 What can I do, <CHARNAME>? How am I supposed to go on with what I have done, with this in my heart? How will I know it will not overcome me one day?! |
| 36107 Because I love you, and I will be there with you. |
| 36108 Because you will be stronger, then... because we will be together. |
| 36109 I cannot speak for you, Anomen. It is your struggle. |
| 36110 Aye. Aye, you speak the right of it. I do not wish to go down this path, no matter what my father has done to me. But... I may have no choice, my love. |
| 36111 I... I cannot, my love. My heart overflows with rage, and it always has. I cannot live with this... and there is only one way to quench it, one way to atone. I am sorry... |
| 36112 Aye... I love you, too. But it is already done. There is a hate in my heart and only one way to quench it, to atone for what I have done. I... I am sorry, my love... |
| 36113 Then... then that is enough for me. I will live on the hope that your love... will one day quench my hate. I thank you, <CHARNAME>, for... for stopping me. |
| 36114 Bah! I always knew you were too much of a pansy to go through with it! I was right to disown you as I did... weak and pathetic, you are, since a boy, even! |
| 36115 I could have been more, Father, had you cared. I... I always loved you. And I still do. |
| 36116 You...? |
| 36117 Aye. And still I do. We are so much alike, you and I. More than you will ever know. We... could have been so much more. |
| 36118 Go, then. Go and tend to your petty schemes; I'll have no more of it. Perhaps one day, if you find some shred of enlightenment... perhaps, then, we'll speak again. |
| 36119 ...aye... perhaps... |
| 36120 I am sorry, my love, for all of this disturbance. You have a quest to attend to... and I intend to be there to assist you. Now... and forevermore... |
| 36121 We had a murderer among the flock. Here is his head. I trust there is a reward? |
| 36122 One among us is a murderer. Ti'Vael, the dwarf. I trust there will be a reward? |
| 36123 <CHARNAME>, Goodbye. No sappy farewells or crying over how things must be; I do neither of these things well, nor would I wish to. I have made a decision, one that is not ideal, but it is necessary. I can go nowhere without this shadow, and I wish to leave it behind. I am returning to the Harper Hold that I might face judgment there. I will plead the case as we saw it for whatever they accuse, and if they do not see reason, then I will suffer what I must. Galvarey had detractors as well as allies, so I believe I can end this in my favor. If not, at least it will be an end. I do not ask you to follow. I do this for myself, and there will be little or no gain for you. You may still be a target of violence, but perhaps their interest in you will wither beside the capture of a "traitor." For better or worse, I am taking control once more. I hope to see you again in better times. With nature's love and mine, Jaheira |
| 36124 Together. Together, yes... but do you love me, <CHARNAME>? Am I only your companion, or will I have your strength to draw on? |
| 36125 I do love you, Anomen. |
| 36126 No... I do not love you in that way. |
| 36127 Then what is done is done. I have always loved you, <CHARNAME>, but it ends here. I... I am sorry... |
| 36128 Well, I'm not accustomed to getting such presents like this. I will have it looked into, and should a reward be appropriate, I will have it delivered to the temple. |
| 36129 It is done. My father is dead. |
| 36130 I knew we would have a beneficial friendship. Now get out of here before people start to talk. |
| 36131 <CHARNAME>. I... I do love you, as I have said so many times. It is true. But... it is not enough. Not enough to assuage my dark soul. |
| 36132 I cannot stay here, after what I have done. And I cannot stay with you. I... must go elsewhere. I am sorry... truly sorry. |
| 36133 Fare you well, my love. |
| 36134 Hold on now, I won't hand over a reward just like that. I will have this Ti'Vael investigated, and then, if a reward is warranted, I will have it sent by the church. They will compensate you. |
| 36135 There... the fool is dead, and good riddance. I always knew he was weak, and now I've proved it. |
| 36136 You there... you are the harlot that Anomen adventured with, I see. What are your intentions, then? |
| 36137 I intend to finish what Anomen started! |
| 36138 I will leave you, Lord Cor... but I want you to know that you destroyed a good man. I hope you can live with that. |
| 36139 I have no intentions toward you at all. |
| 36140 And you'll die as pathetically as he did then! |
| 36141 You may believe that, I suppose. But you're nothing but his wench, and I'd expect no better. I know my son, and he deserved what he got. |
| 36142 Excuse me? I... I seek the guidance and wisdom of the clergy... I... I have lost my way... |
| 36143 Now get out. |
| 36144 Then leave. I have a thriving business to attend to. |
| 36145 Kill, kill, kill! Yeah, cool! |
| 36146 I told you to leave. I expect you to do so at once. |
| 36147 I feel my faith waning... I need... I need some reassurance that this is the right way... that there is a point to all of... this. I'm saying... I've lost my faith. |
| 36148 Heretic! I'll not have unbelievers in the sight of the temple! Die here and now! |
| 36149 Now, child, remember your duty to the church. You have a responsibility here. |
| 36150 Perhaps you need time. There is no wrong in that. Take what time you need. |
| 36151 There is no place here for unbelievers. Leave, and never darken this place again. |
| 36152 What? No! Please! Ahhhh! |
| 36153 But it is that responsibility that causes me doubt. Is there no flexibility? Perhaps I am just not right for this. I... I should go. |
| 36154 Thank you for your help, but I don't think it's been any help at all. |
| 36155 Thank you. It is that kind of flexibility that I have been wanting. I... I will think on things. Knowing that I am allowed to have doubts helps. It helps a lot. |
| 36156 I think I shall take some time off from church services and study a bit. Thank you for your time, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 36157 W-what? That's it? No... no room for choices or doubts, just get out? I... I don't feel so bad about leaving if that's the case. Goodbye! |
| 36158 Word has reached me, <CHARNAME>, of how you dealt with the troubled girl that expressed doubt in her faith. I thought I should have a few words with you over it. |
| 36159 I cannot imagine a more vile act than what you have done! This is unimaginable! You ordered the death of someone that sought our understanding? I question whether you comprehend Lathander's teachings at all. |
| 36160 You did well in reminding her of the responsibility that comes with service to the church, but a more caring approach might have yielded better results. If we are not right for her, then we should see her provided for by another. |
| 36161 I wanted to thank you for the caring way in which you advised the young lady. Even if she decides that service to Lathander is not for her, she will remember the charity she received. |
| 36162 I was shocked to hear that you demanded her exile. Such a harsh stance is not the way of Lathander, and I should like you to consider carefully how you advise people from now on. |
| 36163 I will have another seeker sent to you shortly. Please be sure that your advice is consistent with the Morninglord's wont. I will return to see what has come of this in a few days. |
| 36164 I would have a word with you, <CHARNAME>, and I think you should heed my words very carefully. |
| 36165 This is not a matter of faith or conviction on my part. This is about you coming in here as a newcomer and bypassing the proper chain of advancement. |
| 36166 Of course. Anything for the younger members of the faithful. |
| 36167 I shall listen, but the results of our talk are not mine to decide. Faith will lead. |
| 36168 If I must. Speak, and spare no tawdry detail of your confession. |
| 36169 I have been slaving away here for some years, and I find it a great insult that you have been promoted above me. It is inexcusable, and also quite perplexing. |
| 36170 Perhaps it is a deficiency in your worship. How devout are you? |
| 36171 I am sorry, I meant no offense. |
| 36172 This is not my concern. If you have a problem, I suggest you file a complaint. |
| 36173 There is no deficiency! I perform exactly as I should, and I deserve to be rewarded appropriately! You have prevented this by being here! |
| 36174 And yet you have offended, simply by being here! I perform as I should, and I deserve to be compensated! |
| 36175 I am filing one. I am filing it with you. You have prevented my rightful advancement simply by being here, and it is not right. |
| 36176 I demand satisfaction, and I demand it now. You have made offense, albeit indirectly, and now you will duel me, and you will die. |
| 36177 Then you will die! None that slander my name can be allowed to live! |
| 36178 Whatever position I have is yours if you wish. I was not aware I had one of importance. |
| 36179 Whatever position I have is yours if you wish. I was not aware I had one of importance. |
| 36180 Whatever position I have is yours if you wish. I was not aware I had one of importance. |

| 36182 Jaheira's Note for <CHARNAME> |
| 36183 Jaheira's Note for <CHARNAME> |
| 36184 I would speak to you a moment, <CHARNAME>, about how you dealt with the young woman, Rania, and her lack of faith. |
| 36185 Your behavior has been totally unacceptable. Ordering the killing of someone for simple doubts is hardly enough reason. Straying from the fold is serious, but it does not warrant death. |
| 36186 Though she has walked away from the church, you were correct in stressing the duty that accompanies faith. If she could not live up to that duty, then her loss is regrettable, but necessary. |
| 36187 You were much too lenient with her. The duty that accompanies the security of faith is not to be shucked off so easily. It will perhaps be best if she does not return. I understand your concern, though. |
| 36188 You were too harsh on her. Though a lack of faith is a dangerous thing for a member of the church, it does not warrant banishment. She could have been made to see reason. |

| 36193 Terminsel |
| 36194 It is time to evaluate you once more, <CHARNAME>. I would have words with you about how you dealt with the young woman suffering from a lack of faith. |
| 36195 Fine work! We will not tolerate any display of questioning! If a follower of Talos appears weak, they are to be culled from the herd. |
| 36196 You did well in chastising her for losing faith, though an outright beating might have been more persuasive. I heard her retort was abrasive; perhaps we should have the faithful school her in manners. |
| 36197 What kind of advice do you purport to give? It is certainly not the word of Talos! I may have to send a Talon to clean up your mess. We cannot appear as weak as you have portrayed us! |
| 36198 You were right to order the banishing of the spineless wretch. The followers of Talos cannot appear to waiver in their faith. Better that she be cast out, or even killed! |
| 36199 I would be careful though, as I am sure her death will cause someone to ask questions eventually. Nothing you can't take advantage of though, I am sure. |
| 36200 I will have another worthless toad sent to you for your wisdom shortly and check back on you in a day or so. Talos demands your service continue. |
| 36201 Visual candy for the misled image to cast, does nothing, looks pretty. |

| 36207 An undead thing pulls itself from the sarcophagus, mumbling angry words in some alien tongue. The thing turns its dead eyes towards you as you recoil in horror. |

| 36210 I'll give you what you want... for now. Careful something doesn't happen to your precious reputation. |
| 36211 You'll not threaten me. I'll take this to Vilon! |
| 36212 We shall see who dies! Come! You will fall here! |
| 36213 It is of importance to me. Stand aside then, if you are too cowardly to duel! I will simply take my rightful place! |
| 36214 It is of importance to me. Stand aside then, if you are too cowardly to duel! I will simple take my rightful place! |
| 36215 You'll not threaten me. I'll take this to Byron! |
| 36216 You'll not threaten me. I'll take this to Lara! |
| 36217 It is of importance to me. Stand aside then, if you are too cowardly to duel! I will simple take my rightful place! |
| 36218 Go scheme your schemes somewhere else. You can do nothing to me; my reputation is impeccable. Bah! Run away. Go cry to the guards or some such! |
| 36219 Why don't we just do that then?! When he sees my desire for the job, he'll oust you in a second! Of this I am sure! Vilon! Where in the Hells are you?! |
| 36220 Then let us bring this to his attention now! Byron! Where in blazes are you?! Come settle this mess! |
| 36221 Then we shall set this before her now! Lara! Where in the Hells are you?! Come settle this matter now! |
| 36222 What is all this mess about?! How dare you bring a personal grievance to the floor of the temple, Cotirso! Have you not received a clear enough message as is? |
| 36223 That is what I want sorted out! This worm practically rolls over when I demand the position I was denied. This proves I want it more and that I am better suited for it! |
| 36224 It proves you are an ass that cannot accept rejection! You were passed over because we consider you incompetent! You would not have what you want even if you were the last acolyte in Athkatla! |
| 36225 But... but I have worked so hard here! |
| 36226 And we have bled you dry and cast you aside! Since you cannot take a hint, I shall make a more forceful suggestion! <CHARNAME>! Stop bending over for this fool and kill him! For Talos! |
| 36227 No! I'll have <PRO_HISHER> head for this! |
| 36228 What is this yelling about?! You will upset the parishioners if they think there is no peace in the Watcher's own home! Cotirso! You were told to keep your grievance out of the temple! |
| 36229 This matter is not settled! <CHARNAME> clearly does not want this honor as much as I; <PRO_HESHE> was ready to hand it over to me! That proves I am the better choice! |
| 36230 If you were the better choice, you would have the position! You were denied it fairly, not for any conspiratorial reason! Now you have made a personal claim of this against <CHARNAME>. |
| 36231 <CHARNAME>, you have been challenged to a duel, with Cotirso knowing full well your resources. This matter will be a short one to deal with if you accept. What say you? |
| 36232 I will duel him here and now! He should not have slandered me! |
| 36233 I have no wish to fight him. |
| 36234 Very well. Defend yourself, Cotirso! You have brought this upon your own head! |
| 36235 I see. Very well then, Cotirso, your challenge is refused. You have no recourse here now. Get out of the house of Helm until you can conduct yourself with decorum! |
| 36236 This is not the last of this! |
| 36237 Yes, it IS! Go! |
| 36238 You should have answered his challenge, <CHARNAME>. Cotirso is troubled, but he has the right to choose his method of expulsion. Perhaps he will be able to recover as he is, but I do not know. |
| 36239 Enough excitement. I will have another supplicant sent to you soon. |
| 36240 Please! What is the yelling about? The Morninglord's home should be tranquil; you will drive away the prayers of the needy with your current noise. Cotirso, I thought our problem settled. |
| 36241 This matter is not settled! <CHARNAME> here clearly does not want this honor as much as I do and was all too ready to hand it over to me! That proves I am the better choice! |
| 36242 If you were the better choice, you would have the position. You were denied it fairly, not for any conspiratorial reason. Now you have drawn <CHARNAME> into a matter that should not have been their problem. |
| 36243 By being here, <PRO_HESHE> has made it <PRO_HISHER> problem. |
| 36244 No, Cotirso, <PRO_HESHE> has wisely chosen not to fight. You will not have your battle fought here today, nor will you have an easy out for your bruised ego. Cotirso, you should go home. |
| 36245 But this is not over! It's not! |
| 36246 Ahh, but it should be. Go home, Cotirso. We will speak when you have calmed. |
| 36247 Please! What is the yelling about? The Morninglord's home should be tranquil; you will drive away the prayers of the needy with your current noise. Cotirso, I thought our problem settled. |
| 36248 I would have settled it in a duel with this fool. but <PRO_HESHE> insists on bringing it to your attention. Worried about me hurting <PRO_HIMHER>, I think. Unsure of <PRO_HISHER> ability and faith, I think! |
| 36249 <CHARNAME> has no need to fight you, though <PRO_HESHE> could have spared you the aggravation of demanding arbitration. So be it. If it is a clear and final decision, then you have it. |
| 36250 Things stay as they are. Go home, Cotirso. |
| 36251 But this is not over! |
| 36252 But it should be! Cotirso, your pride makes you vulnerable, and you will not serve the Morninglord by railing against what you cannot change. Go, please, and we will speak another time. |
| 36253 Leave me be. You can do nothing to harm me. Go crawl to your guard friends. I hear you have been dealing with those that would be the enemies of chaosâ€â€our enemies. |
| 36254 What is it you would speak with me about? Got another tip for the guards? Perhaps we could do each other a favor? |
| 36255 Nothing. Sorry to have bothered you. |
| 36256 A follower killed an innocent girl! The fiend's name is Cotirso! You can find him at the temple! |
| 36257 I see. This follower didn't happen to wrong you in some way, did he? Have you been "encouraged" to report him? Should I gag him on arrest to avoid hearing what he might say? |
| 36258 No matter. I will get the praises of my superiors for bringing him in, and you will be heralded at your temple for sowing chaos and securing profit from it. I told you our relationship would be beneficial. |
| 36259 I'll have some men pick this Cotirso up immediately. Go now, before someone thinks our meeting is suspicious. |
| 36260 Well, <CHARNAME>, haven't you been busy? Quite the bit of skulduggery you have perpetrated. Talos cannot help but chuckle at the lengths you are willing to go for him and the spirit of destruction. |
| 36261 Turning Cotirso in for a crime you committed was sheer genius. Oh no, the church is not mad at all. He was a troublesome gnat anyway. No, you have helped us yet again. |
| 36262 Now that this bit of ridiculousness is out of the way, it is time for a true test of your faith in the ways of Talos. You shall have the honor of a great and holy task, a grand destruction to relish for ages. |
| 36263 This has been a regrettable series of events, hasn't it? Poor Cotirso. He could not understand the will of Helm in this matter. Still, he chose his own fate, and that is empowering. |
| 36264 You did as you should have in the situation. Helm looks on with favor at your continued service. Take heart that while your duty is not always easy, it is always appreciated. |
| 36265 I would like to send you back to your regular duties, but there is a matter of much more importance that requires immediate attention, one that the Watchers cannot ignore. |
| 36266 That was unpleasant, to be sure. <CHARNAME>, you should have taken the duel. Your very work for Helm was being questioned. Take pride in what you do, and take your reputation seriously. |
| 36267 Still, a life was saved, though I don't hold much hope for what he will do with it. For now, all is well again. |
| 36268 An unfortunate turn, this event with Cotirso. He chose the path he wished and followed it far from the light of Lathander. You had little choice in the matter, though it is still a shame. Such a shame. |
| 36269 Now there is a more serious matter to attend to. There is trouble ahead for the entire temple if we do not act. I'm sure you will agree when you hear what I have to say. |
| 36270 You were wise not to fall into the hole that Cotirso has dug for himself. He will need plenty of time to find his way back up to the light of Lathander. You may have saved him in the long run. |
| 36271 Well, that was unpleasant. <CHARNAME>, in the future, please do not aggravate those that are clearly not in control of all their wits. Cotirso needs a guide to the light of Lathander, not a shovel to help him dig. |
| 36272 Again you sow beautiful chaos and destruction right here in the home of Talos! If only Cotirso's destruction could have been extended, to make it all the more enjoyable. |
| 36273 I cannot fathom how you, a promising young Stormlord, would almost submit before that Cotirso fool. The one saving grace is that he is now dead. |
| 36274 Did you really need the advice of another to tell you how to deal with that Cotirso fool? The one saving grace is that he is now dead. |
| 36275 In the future, kindly remember the power you are supposed to wield in the name of Talos. Let no one malign your work or claim they could do it better. No one. |
| 36276 You are familiar with the teachings of Talos, are you not? Do not cringe at the name; Lathander prevents the Stormlord from seeing within these walls. Unfortunately, we have a more direct intrusion to worry about. |
| 36277 We have received word that we are to be attacked. In the spirit of true destruction, the Talassans have planned an all-out assault upon the Dawnbringer's house! We must move to prevent this at all costs! |
| 36278 I certainly agree! What can I do? |
| 36279 What can we possibly do against an invasion of such a sort? |
| 36280 Should we seek a peaceful solution? Would they even listen? |
| 36281 We must move against them in a way they will respect and fear. We must destroy their plans before they are finished. We must counter attack as a preliminary move. |
| 36282 This duty falls to you, <CHARNAME>. It is a task I had hoped I would never give, but it seems our two temples are destined to collide. The unfortunate thing is that the Talassans will delight in the destruction whether they win or not. |
| 36283 Tonight, <CHARNAME>, You must enter the Talassan temple and... and remove the threat to the coming of dawn. Kill Weathermistress Ada. She longs for our destruction, and she has given the order. You have little time, and the odds are great. Perhaps if Ada is struck down in the middle of their temple, they will think twice before attacking us. Be careful. |
| 36284 You must eliminate every threat to the Morninglord. It is not a pretty job, but this once, it is vital to our survival! Weathermistress Ada must be struck down! |
| 36285 <CHARNAME>. <CHARNAME>, you bear the wounds of battle and a great weight on your shoulders. I fear we set you a gruesome task, one that we had to wish on our gravest enemy. |
| 36286 To serve is the finest of honors, despite the horrible ordeal of the job. |
| 36287 It is a great pleasure to destroy evil! Talos shall not trouble us again for some time. |
| 36288 It was far more taxing on the soul than the body. The dawn is stained red. |
| 36289 And through it all, you maintain the gait of a chosen of Lathander. You have earned some time for yourself. You need not concern yourself with duties here for a time. |
| 36290 Please continue to enjoy the safety and convenience of the temple. I would ask that, though you are free of servitude for a time, keep the values of Lathander close to your heart and actions. |
| 36291 From the Stormlord? They have coexisted with us for so long... |
| 36292 No doubt it shall be murderous in nature if the Raging One is involved. |
| 36293 You know of Talos and his destructive teachings, don't you? His followers delight in chaos, and that delight is about to turn into the greatest crime we have known in years. |
| 36294 No doubt it shall be murderous in nature if the Raging One is involved. |
| 36295 The Stormlord is a dangerous foe. I pity those in his path. |
| 36296 We have received word that they are to assault the temple of the Morninglord, Lathander. We cannot allow this to come to pass, no matter how destined their conflict. |
| 36297 We must be guardians to both lest they destroy each other completely. |
| 36298 Would they even respond to reason? The Talassans are always ready to destroy. |
| 36299 What can be done? What can stand in the path of all of this? |
| 36300 It falls to us to prevent a massacre, though the cure will be no less bloody than the disease. We must put ourselves between the two forces so that neither are obliterated. |
| 36301 You must protect the temple of Lathander, repelling all that try to kill those within. Failing that, you must convince the Lathanderites not to launch a revenge attack. Righteous fury can be as deadly as villainy. |
| 36302 Tonight, <CHARNAME>, you must act as saviors to those that might not wish to be saved. None of the invading force can be allowed entry or retreat. This is a deterrent. It must be. |
| 36303 You must ferret out the entire invading force of Talassans such that they respect the borders between them and the house of the Morninglord. It is bloody, but it will prevent more death in the long term. |
| 36304 Your harsh duty is fulfilled, <CHARNAME>. There are casualties, but at least there are some participants left to mourn them. It is not easy to stand in the path of anger, but you have stood tall. |
| 36305 It was my duty. I could do no other than what Helm does bid me. |
| 36306 It was like standing between two squabbling children, a hand on each of their heads. |
| 36307 I should not wish to experience such again. |
| 36308 Such is the burden of the Watchers, those that protect and guide. <CHARNAME>, you have shown your worth to Helm a hundredfold over. Now you may take some time for yourself. |
| 36309 Your place is here whenever you wish it, even if you do not actively serve. Remember that you remain in the gaze of the Vigilant One, and that your actions reflect upon him. Go with honor. |
| 36310 You have served beyond the call. You are welcome in the light of the Morninglord like few others. |
| 36311 Thank you for stopping the war. Helm watches over you and through you. You are favored like few others, and are always welcome here. |
| 36312 Your help has been greatly appreciated here, servant of Helm, but now that the brunt of the assault is over, it is time for the dawn to bring retribution. We shall kill that foul Weathermistress! Such evil cannot be permitted! |
| 36313 Neither can this continuing slaughter. The Great Guard must step in to stop this! |
| 36314 I agree, but an assassination is not the answer. This is a city, not the frontier. Innocents will die. |
| 36315 One of the earliest weapons, dating back to the most primitive of times, the first spears were simply wooden poles or sticks sharpened at one end. When the civilized races mastered metals, spearheads were made from iron and steel. Having reached this end, weaponsmiths began experimenting with different types of spearheads, thus leading to the development of certain polearm types. Another line of tinkering led to the integration of magic with spears. Tribal shamans would enchant the spears so that they would hit more often and do greater damage to their wielder's opponents.

| 36316 You cannot condone what they have tried to do! You would stand in the way of righteousness? Of justice? Does not Helm stand for justice? |
| 36317 There is no justice in slaughter. Due process applies to the divine like all others. |
| 36318 Helm stands for protection, and in this case, we must protect you from yourselves. |
| 36319 Then we shall stand down for now, though we shall be vigilant where once we trusted. You are a voice of reason, and I thank you. <CHARNAME>, isn't it? May Lathander smile upon you for your wisdom. |
| 36320 Do you know well the name of the Morninglord, Lathander? Remember it well, for it is the name of the enemy. On them you will call down the thunder in the holy cause of death and mayhem. |
| 36321 The time has come to flex the might of the Talassan faith! A great and flowing destruction must be made to fall on the enemies of the church! You will be the instrument of chaos! |
| 36322 It will be a pleasure. What is the occasion? |
| 36323 Any excuse to howl the name of Talos is welcome. |
| 36324 Tell me what I must do! Guide me, and I shall destroy! |
| 36325 The time for talk is over! What would you have me do? |
| 36326 All fear us now. What more must I do? |
| 36327 You must go to the Lathanderian temple and strike at the sun snake's head. Kill Dawnmaster Kreel and show the sun fools the true fury of Talos! |
| 36328 Go! And do not return until you have stilled the heart of Kreel. |
| 36329 You have not yet killed Dawnmaster Kreel! Do not return until he is dead! Go! You are the instrument of doom! |
| 36330 The rumblings of what you have done travel to the far realms of the planes themselves. Imagine the rage of the Morninglord! It is beautiful! Talos screams in laughter! |
| 36331 You! You are the scythe that cuts away the filth and waste that inhabits the dawn. You have served and earned a truly respectable number of enemies! Your life shall be the model of Talassan chaos! |
| 36332 I did what I was bid. It was my duty. |
| 36333 It was a wonderful slaughter! My boots are thick with blood! |
| 36334 The fool's death was effective. We are truly feared! |
| 36335 Now, consider your duties here beneath you. They are not worthy of your time. You have sanctuary here, but feel free to take time for yourself in all things. No more mewling supplicants for you. |
| 36336 Go with Talos, and let your footfalls crush the hopes of the peaceful everywhere! |
| 36337 The destroyer returns! Welcome, Stormlord. Know your very shadow is respected here. Just don't stay too long lest your many enemies track you here. No offense. |
| 36338 A derivative of the long sword, the two-handed sword is significantly longer, both in blade and hilt. Its primary function is cleaving mounted knights and breaking up pike formations. This magical version is even more capable of such functions, serving as a fearful reminder of what comes of the union between weapons and sorcery.

| 36339 Waitâ€â€one approaches, and his appearance seems... familiar to me... |
| 36340 Sir Anomen, the former son of Lord Cor... I have found you at last. I have been looking for you for quite some time. |
| 36341 Ah, yes... you are the messenger who brought me tidings of my sister. 'Tis not more grim news you bear, is it? |
| 36342 Aye, I believe so. I have a letter for you here from the magistrate Bylanna Ianulin. |
| 36343 A letter? You came all this way to deliver me a letter? |
| 36344 I did. The magistrate bade me to find you, wherever you were, so that her news might reach you before rumor did. I prithee, sir, take the letter and discharge me of my duty. |
| 36345 Very well... give me your missive then, and be gone with my thanks. |
| 36346 Now, as for this letter... |
| 36347 ... |
| 36348 ...no... no, Helm's mercy, no! |
| 36349 What is it, Anomen? What's wrong? |
| 36350 The... the magistrate... she writes: "...it is my regret to inform you that your father, Lord Cor, was killed in an attempt to take vengeance on the merchant, Saerk, on his own..." |
| 36351 Set Snare |
| 36352 "...your father was reacting to recent evidence uncovered proving that Saerk Farrahd was indeed responsible for the hiring of the men that killed your sister, Moira..." |
| 36353 "...As a member of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, I trust that you will not take vengeance into your own hands. The law will deal with Saerk Farrahd..." |
| 36354 "...I grieve for the loss of your family and will do everything in my power to see that justice is done. I hope this letter finds you before rumor does. Sincerely, Bylanna Ianulin." |
| 36355 That... that merchant was responsible for Moira's death after all... and Father... he took it upon himself to take vengeance. And... he is dead... all because of Saerk... |
| 36356 That's terrible, Anomen. I feel sorry for you. |
| 36357 You should forget about Saerk, Anomen. Let the law deal with him. |
| 36358 You must go and take vengeance on Saerk, Anomen! Justice must be done! |
| 36359 ...you... you feel sorry... |
| 36360 ...forget... about Saerk... |
| 36361 ...justice... be done... |
| 36362 ...nay! I speak of Saerk's involvement in this disaster, and yet I forget about yours! It was you who pushed me not to avenge my sister when I had the chance! |
| 36363 I abandoned my family when they needed me, and now they are destroyed! Destroyed completely! At the hands of an evil man who wished nothing other than to ruin my father! |
| 36364 I TOLD you that Saerk was responsible, <CHARNAME>! And... and you had me turn it over to the law! The law! Saerk has so much gold that the law will never touch him! |
| 36365 Aaaah, I cannot believe I have done this! For the Order, for you! I turned my back on my family, on my duty... and look what has happened! |
| 36366 You're blaming me? Why are you doing this?! |
| 36367 I never meant for this to happen, Anomen! |
| 36368 Do not try to blame me, Anomen. You are responsible for your own actions! |
| 36369 Do not attempt to blame me, or you'll regret it! |
| 36370 I... I am doing what I must. Of all the vows I spoke, none of them can compare to the twisting in my heart now. My father... dead... doing what I should have done... |
| 36371 You... you I can forgive, at least, my love. What you did... you meant well by me. But Saerk... Saerk I cannot forgive. The law will not provide justice on one as rich as he. |
| 36372 We have a confrontation that is inevitable, he and I. I shirked my duty once, and I will not do it again. I... I must leave you, <CHARNAME>, and do what I should have long ago. |
| 36373 The Order and everything else be damned, Saerk will die when I find him. Fare... fare you well then, my love. I... I am sorry to do this to you... |
| 36374 Aye, but it is happening anyway. I spoke vows to the Order, but they mean nothing now to the twisting of my heart. My drunken father... dead for doing what was my duty... |
| 36375 Aye. Aye, you speak the right of it. 'Twas my own decision, and it was wrong. Now I must seek to make it right. My father is dead because I failed my duty. |
| 36376 I regret much, and now I must act on it no matter my vows. My father is dead because I did not do my duty... dead because of an evil man's desire for wealth. |
| 36377 I agree! I was supposed to stop you from retaliating, but this crime demands revenge! |
| 36378 Saerk! It is I, Anomen Delryn, son of Lord Cor and brother of Moira! You will pay for your crimes against my family! |
| 36379 Then we will march on the Talassan temple this night! They shall fall before the wrath of the Morninglord! Stand aside and let the light batter down the darkness! |
| 36380 One of the earliest weapons, dating back to the most primitive of times, the first spears were simply wooden poles or sticks sharpened at one end. When the civilized races mastered metals, spearheads were made from iron and steel. This spear trembles from the powerful magic used in its creation.

| 36381 Perhaps we should destroy them, to protect more in the long term. |
| 36382 <CHARNAME>, you were to stop the hostilities. You were to ease tensions once the initial attack was over. What have you done? There is death all around! |
| 36383 Hah! You shall die like a mewling ass then, just as your father did! |
| 36384 The Talassans needed to be put in their place! This is better in the long term! |
| 36385 The fallen needed to be revenged! Are we to abandon them? |
| 36386 No, it is not! This was not the only outpost of the Talassan faith, and despite their feelings, the Lathanderites were not completely devastated. The attack began as a minor, though bloody, mischief. |
| 36387 I am no miserable drunk, fool. Nor am I an innocent girl. By all that is holy, you shall pay for what you have done with your life! |
| 36388 Now we have the beginnings of a holy war, where both sides will not back down from insult! There will be much more death when their numbers are both reinforced. |
| 36389 You wouldn't dare! You're a member of the Order! I know; one of my agents reported it to me. There's no way you'd raise a sword against me! |
| 36390 And what of the fallen on the Talassan side? Repelling their attack was one thing, but now we have added insult to injury! They will bolster their numbers, and this will escalate! |
| 36391 Spear of the Unicorn +2 |
| 36392 I see that you are no paladin of the Order after all. Just as I suspected! A brutish lout who cannot handle the competition, just as your father was! |
| 36393 No, <CHARNAME>, this is a tragic failing on your part. I had thought to give you more time for yourself out of respect, but now I must relieve you in shame. |
| 36394 Speak not of my father! And I will not sit idly by and watch as you bribe and cajole your way into... into... what? <CHARNAME>?! What are you doing here?! |
| 36395 Others will clean up this mess in time. Your work here is done. Go, and keep Helm in your heart as much as you are capable. |
| 36396 I fear your welcome will be a little cold, <CHARNAME>. We are still feeling the effects of the war you have let begin. |
| 36397 I came to stop you from doing this. |
| 36398 I came to see what you intended to do. |
| 36399 I came to help you. |
| 36400 Why, my love?! Tell me why this man should not die for what he has done?! |
| 36401 Because this is not about what he has done, Anomen, nor about whether or not the law will touch him, and you know it! |
| 36402 Because this is evil... this will take you down a path that will destroy you forever! |
| 36403 Because it is time for all this hate to end. You will end up like your father otherwise, unless you are the one to stop it! |
| 36404 Because I love you, and I don't want you to do this to yourself! |
| 36405 You have seen then, and now you know. Do you intend to stop me, then? |
| 36406 Yes, I do. You cannot do this. |
| 36407 No, do as you will. |
| 36408 Actually, I intend to help you. |
| 36409 I... I had intended to do this myself. There is no need for both of us to perform a necessary evil, my love. But I... I will not stop whatever you intend. |
| 36410 Put up your sword then, Saerk! It grieves me that it has come to this, but it is my own fault that this did not occur sooner! For Moira... and my father! |
| 36411 Aye... aye, you speak the right of it, my love. It... it is the guilt that crushes me beneath its weight. That I walked away from my duty and my abominable father took it up! |
| 36412 There is an evil in my heart. I have always known this, and I spoke of it to you. Hate and anger, twisted and black... and I... I cannot control it. |
| 36413 My heart tells me to kill this demon... and my guilt will be assuaged. I... I cannot live like this, <CHARNAME>... At any moment, all I believe in I could betray... |
| 36414 What can I do, <CHARNAME>? How am I supposed to go on with this in my heart? How will I know it will not overcome me one day?! |
| 36415 Because I love you, Anomen, and I will be there with you. |
| 36416 Because we will be together, Anomen, and you will be stronger. |
| 36417 I cannot answer that, Anomen. I do not know. |
| 36418 Aye... 'tis an evil thing. I am sorry, but my heart calls out for nothing less. My family is destroyed, and I have lost everything. I will not be avenged until this demon is dead. |
| 36419 I... I would put an end to this hate, my love. If I could. It destroyed my father, and now it threatens to destroy me. But yet I do not know if I can... |
| 36420 I love you too... but 'tis already done. My family is dead, and I am destroyed. I am sorry... but my black heart demands nothing less than this demon's death! |
| 36421 Then... then that is enough for me. I will live on the hope that your love... will one day quench my hate. I thank you, <CHARNAME>, for... for stopping me. |
| 36422 Bah! I knew you did not have the guts to do this! Your father died far better! |
| 36423 And I hope you derived some measure of satisfaction from my father's death, for I shall see to it personally that the law has its full measure with you, merchant. |
| 36424 In the pursuit of coin, you not only ruined my father... but you killed an innocent girl. You have a daughter, do you not, Saerk? |
| 36425 ...err... yes... |
| 36426 I hope you will be able to look your daughter in the eye when you are in prison... and I hope you will think on what you have done ere you go to the gods for judgment. |
| 36427 ...I... |
| 36428 There is nothing more that needs to be said. Go now, and count your precious coins until the garrison comes for you. |
| 36429 I am sorry, my love, for all of this disturbance. You have a quest to attend to... and I intend to be there to assist you. Now... and forevermore... |
| 36430 Together. Together, yes... but do you love me, <CHARNAME>? Am I only your companion, or will I have your strength to draw on? |
| 36431 I do love you, Anomen. |
| 36432 I'm sorry, Anomen, but I cannot say what isn't true. |
| 36433 Then there is nothing more that needs to be said. I will follow the dictates of my heart, though it leads me into darkness. I... I am sorry, my love. |
| 36434 It is done. The murderer of my father and my sister is dead. |
| 36435 Modron |
| 36436 Modron |
| 36437 <CHARNAME>... I do truly love you, as I have said so many times before. But it is not enough to assuage my dark heart. |
| 36438 I... I have ruined myself in the Order. There is no place for me there anymore. I... I am too much my father's son. |
| 36439 I must go away, <CHARNAME>. I must go somewhere into seclusion and see if I can live with this hate... try to... to quench it. But I cannot stay with you. |
| 36440 I am sorry, my love. But there is no other way. Farewell... |

| 36443 You there! You came in with this fool... what are your intentions?! |
| 36444 I intend to finish what he started! |
| 36445 Only to tell you that you will pay for what you have done... according to the law. |
| 36446 I have no intentions at all towards you. |
| 36447 Then you shall die as he did! |
| 36448 Bah! So you people keep telling me! We shall see how innocent my vast wealth shall make me. Now leave at once! |
| 36449 Then get out! |

| 36453 I... I am sorry, m'<LADYLORD>. All of the Delryns are dead an' gone, I fear... Lord Cor was killed by 'is son, that failed knight. Then 'is son went an' killed himself. Pity, that. Tsk. |
| 36454 Head of Cotirso |
| 36455 I am sorry, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... there is no one available at the house. A former knight of the Order of the Radiant Heart broke into the house recently and murdered the merchant Saerk. |
| 36456 Head of Cotirso |
| 36457 It was all quite terrible, especially since Lord Saerk was about to be released from charges against him. We were all so hopeful. |
| 36458 I understand that knight has gone into deep seclusion within the Order. They should arrest him, is what they should. A pity, truly. |

| 36461 Here, a key to the Shadowmaster. Find the secret door on the first level of the Shadow Thieves' guild in the docks, an orange brick building west of the area entrance. |
| 36462 Remember, it's northwest in the Docks District. As unlikely as it seems, the Shadow Thieves will prove to be the least of all evils you will encounter. |
| 36463 Now, there's no reason for ye t' be hangin' around me here. Ye has business with the Shadowmaster, and ye've paid for it well. |
| 36464 As I said, the secret door ye're lookin' for is in a closet just to the right o' the door when ye enters the Shadow Thieves' guild. Use the key to open it. |
| 36465 Me, my business with ye is done. I hope ye finds wot ye're lookin' for. A pearl to ye, m'<LADYLORD>. |
| 36466 You will fall here, interloper! I did not build this sanctuary for you to tear it down in passing! Feel the wrath of the arachnids, of the divine eight-legged! |
| 36467 That you have a drow in your party is all the more galling! Does the bitch support the killing of spiders? No wonder she walks the surface! You will all die! |
| 36468 **PLACEHOLDER FOR MOVIE** Disaster comes on the heels of your victory in Baldur's Gate, and you are captured while resting outside the city. You know nothing of your assailant, save that you were beaten senseless with apparently minimal effort, and now you lie in a strange prison, awaiting your fate. Vague memories of torture and experimentation haunt you, leaving you battered and without hope. You do not know from where, or even if, help will come; the fate of your comrades is as much a mystery as your own current location. |
| 36469 Hold! Do you be a new trainee here? |
| 36470 Yes, I am, in fact. |
| 36471 Actually, I'm looking for Aran Linvail. |
| 36472 No, I'm not. What is this place? |
| 36473 Hmm. I don't seem to recall anyone being scheduled with me. Aran certainly hasn't mentioned anything... Mind you, he's too busy with that tart of his. What is your name? |
| 36474 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 36475 My name is none of your business. |
| 36476 Actually, I'm looking for Aran Linvail. |
| 36477 Out of my way, woman! I have no business with you! |
| 36478 Eh? Looking for Aran, are you? Well, he doesn't meet with just anyone... you'll have to tear him away from the clutches of Tassa first, and that won't be easy. |
| 36479 Just who are you, and what is your business with Aran? |
| 36480 My name is <CHARNAME>... and I was told that Aran could help me. |
| 36481 My name is <CHARNAME>... and I paid a great deal for Aran's help. |
| 36482 My name is none of your business... nor is my purpose. |
| 36483 This is the training run for the Shadow Thieves, my friend. I am Sergeant Pelanna, Mistress of the Run. If you're not here to see me, then what are you here for? |
| 36484 I'm here to see Aran Linvail. |
| 36485 Holy Sword |
| 36486 It's none of your business. |
| 36487 Hmph! You'll have business with me soon enough, friend, if you keep up that tone! Why are you here? |
| 36488 I'm here to see Aran Linvail. |
| 36489 I'm here to receive training. |
| 36491 <CHARNAME>, is it? Fair enough. I am Pelanna, Mistress of the Run. This here is part of the training facility for the Shadow Thieves. Did... did Renal send you here? |
| 36492 Yes, he did. |
| 36493 No, Gaelan Bayle did. |
| 36494 Actually, I'm here to see Aran Linvail. |
| 36495 *sigh* I get far too many of your type arriving these days. I don't care how mysterious you are, you know. I am Pelanna, Mistress of the Run... I'll be in charge of your training here. |
| 36496 It IS odd, though, that I don't recognize you. Did Renal send you? Did he give you access to the door? |
| 36497 Yes, he did. |
| 36498 No, Gaelan Bayle did. |
| 36499 Actually, I'm looking for Aran Linvail. |
| 36500 Aran could help a great many people... the question is whether he will want to or not. Hmm. Well, you've been given access, so I won't stop you. |
| 36501 You can find Aran in his quarters in the southeast corner of this level of the guild. Eh, I'd better give you better directions than that. He keeps it hidden well. |
| 36502 Ah. I've never known Aran to treat gold as anything more than water... but if he's demanded a payment, likely he wants to see you regardless. Very well, I won't stop you. |
| 36503 My name is none of your business... nor is my purpose. |
| 36504 Spirit of the Grove |
| 36505 Hmph. Very well, then... it's not exactly me place to stop you. You've been given access and look the decent sort, I suppose. |
| 36506 Spirit of the Grove |
| 36507 Recently, one of our highest-ranking officers was implicated in smuggling slaves. His name is Anarg, and though he was once a friend, he was expelled from the Order. |
| 36508 Sorry, friend... I don't know your face, and you don't look trustworthy. Either tell me what your business is with Aran or you'll deal with me... and the rest of the guild... |
| 36509 I was sent by Gaelan Bayle... he said Aran could help me. |
| 36510 I paid a great deal of gold for Aran's help! |
| 36511 I doubt Aran Linvail... the Shadowmaster... would appreciate your sticking your nose into his business. Perhaps we can ask him together? |
| 36512 Forget it, I don't have to tell you anything. |
| 36513 We thought that the end of it, but Anarg took others when he left. He is a charismatic man, and some of the younger knights were swayed by his words. |
| 36514 That's it! Time to die, my friend! |
| 36515 I don't like where this is going. Goodbye. |
| 36516 So he has stolen some of your members? |
| 36517 Hold on one moment, Pelanna... don't be a fool. |
| 36518 We could tolerate their loss, but they masquerade as paladins, abusing our good name. They extort, smuggle slaves, and spit on all that we honor. |
| 36519 What? What do you mean by that, tart?! |
| 36520 I mean that Aran is expecting <CHARNAME> here. Avidly expecting <PRO_HIMHER>, in fact. He sent me to tell you. |
| 36521 You might have told me that sooner, wench! |
| 36522 Yes, well, I got distracted. It happens. |
| 36523 *growl* I'll gut that little harpy soon, I swear it. Fine, then... you, <CHARNAME>. You might have told me your purpose and spared me the aggravation. |
| 36524 The Shadowmaster can be found in his quarters in the southeast corner of this level of the guild. Eh, I'd better give you better directions than that. He keeps it hidden well. |
| 36525 Wait... wait a minute. I remember now. Bah! You might have saved me some aggravation and told me you were here to see Aran right off. He's expecting you. |
| 36526 I will not be shown up by the likes of you, fool! I am the training mistress here and Aran's confidante! And I, my young friend, am about to teach you a lesson! |
| 36527 This is the training run for the Shadow Thieves, my friend. My domain. If you have business with the Shadowmaster, you'll find him in his quarters. |
| 36528 Hmmm... so you're that <CHARNAME> that Aran was talking about. My, my, but aren't you a cutie! I just love pretty things... don't you think I'm pretty? *giggle* |
| 36529 Hmmm... so you're that <CHARNAME> that Aran has been talking about all the time. I thought you'd be so much prettier. But that's okay... *giggle*... I like you anyway! |
| 36530 Aran's in his chambers, yummy little <PRO_MANWOMAN>... go ahead and talk to him. I'm finished with him... for now. *giggle* |
| 36531 You know where to go, don't you? That cow, Pelanna, told you, I'm sure. Well, you just go on and talk to him then, yummy little <PRO_MANWOMAN>... I'm done with him, for now. *giggle* |
| 36532 Oh... you don't want to talk to me, silly! You don't have half as much money as my Aran baby! You need a lot of gold to keep Tassa's attention. *giggle* |
| 36533 Oy... I'm Booter, th' official torturer of th' guild here. 'Tis a foin job, ye sees... an' it requires more skill than anyone thinks, aye? |
| 36534 But... ye don't wanna be listenin' to me talk, I be sure. Ye're here t' talk to the Shadowmaster, ain't ye? He's not much fer me skills, but he appreciates 'em, shore enough. I wouldn't get 'im mad, aye? |
| 36535 If ye want 'im, though, 'e's in his room... probably with 'is little girl there, Tassa. Mmmmm... I'd shore like t' listen to 'er scream... |
| 36536 ...oh! Errr... excuse me. Drifted off fer a moment. Ye just goes off an' sees 'im now. Booter will be gettin' back t' work. |
| 36537 Torture's a foin job... requires just the right touch, ye sees? Don't want t' put the nails in too far, aye? Or burn too much flesh? Tsk. It jus' wouldn't be roit. |
| 36538 One time, the Shadowmaster brought someone down 'ere, aye? I kept 'im alive for sixteen days, I did. Screamed so much he died of a sore throat! Ha ha ha... jus' kiddin', really. |
| 36539 Ain't nothin' worse 'en cleanin' an iron maiden, ye knows? Tsk. |
| 36540 Ye jus' gets on with yer business... unless ye'd like a demonstration, aye? Care t' try the rack... stretch ye out a bit? |
| 36541 Where'd I leave me pliers...? Must be around 'ere somewhere... |
| 36542 Holy Sword |
| 36543 My captor lies dead... I can feel it! ...and the sparrow spies his glorious saviors! Oh, what grand joy! Poetry o'erwhelms this sparrow's heart! |
| 36544 Ooh, you are a fine one. New meat for the larder, I assume. Oh, but perhaps you are the one the mistress spoke of? Are you in her service as a... domestic... or are you muscle? |
| 36545 So be it, my dark hound of rescue. Your job is done but mine is not. I was here to recover a certain gem of my own, but yon corpse stole it from my keeping. |
| 36546 I do not have time to waste with you, lap dog. I serve with Bodhi, not her lackeys. |
| 36547 I am in her service for some special task. What is your role, if I might ask? |
| 36548 Muscle, I assume. What of it? |
| 36549 Ha, so you know her well, then... Forgive the harsher tones with which she paints her present canvas, friend. As the old witch's tale goes, desperate times call for desperate measures... |
| 36550 Oh, of course, of course. I did not mean to anger anyone with the mistress's ear. I am her most humble servant, and yours as well if you will it. |
| 36551 "The proud ones fade from the world like leaves fallen from the tree of life; the blossoms of their eyes close and vanish like a dream of winds." |
| 36552 Do try to keep in mind though, that should your... position... change, it will be I that has your comfort to grant or rescind. I care for those that serve in a less grandiose manner than you currently do. |
| 36553 So wrote Darius Noh, the greatest dramatist of the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Dust, and you would do well not to forget it... |
| 36554 Nothing, nothing, I meant no offense. Far be it from me to anger one with the mistress's ear. I am her humble servant in all things, and I am yours as well if you wish it. |
| 36555 I am a Planeswalker, berk, and a member of the Doomguard. I can hold my own... |
| 36556 Ha, the critics drag us through those coals daily, as it is. What doesn't kill you wears you down... Raelis must be worried about me, however, so I had best return. |
| 36557 Oh, so polite in your manner. I trust you do not conceal an edge behind your words? One can never be sure. The mistress does tend to find... interesting associates. I am her servant, and yours if you wish. |
| 36558 Very well. There be only one job left undone, then. Mekrath stole a certain gem from me and has hidden it in an altar here, I believe. |
| 36559 I mean you no trouble. I am here to fulfill a duty, and then I shall go. |
| 36560 Can the other servants not take care of themselves? I question their worth if not. |
| 36561 Yes, yes, ill tidings for the future. I do not plan to be here that long. |
| 36562 Ahh, but that is what we all think at some time or another. It is funny how the fates slip a bag over your head and take you away on occasion. Yes, funny. Good will to you. I shall see you later. |
| 36563 All things rot and all things die, my dark birds. Entropy, chaos, decay... these are the gifts we are left with when we finally slip between the fingers of this world as surely as the sands of time. |
| 36564 If it comes for this poet, rest easy, for I have brought it upon myself... |
| 36565 Ahh, but with some their service is more intangible, and requires less effort from them. Not the lot in life they might have expected, but never does one know what to expect. |
| 36566 That's funny. Because I am... Now get me my swords from that chest over there, and let's get down to business: |
| 36567 I will get to the floors as soon as you will it, mistress. You're looking as lovely as the ages, mistress. How might I make your home more pleasant, mistress? |
| 36568 Honor-bound and honor-branded, then, is it? Very well, lawyer, you have set me free, and for that I thank you. |
| 36569 If they be anything like her, fool, you would not last a second! |
| 36570 Are you all right? You have mistaken me for your... ah... "mistress"? |
| 36571 Get away from me. I will not associate with mere servants. |
| 36572 What is this place? What is your role here? |
| 36573 ...sorry... You have drawn my ire. For whatever reasons, Raelis has chosen you above others, and I shall respect her judgment above my own... |
| 36574 Will you have need of my tending this eve, mistress? I should retire early otherwise, mistress. Mister Cohn has kept me well busy, mistress. |
| 36575 Beneath this petty poet's skin, I am a planeswalker and a Doomguard, berk. I am the best swordsman of the Prime Material, second only to Drizzt himself. |
| 36576 In Sigil, only one can best me, and she is my half-sister. I have survived the Outer Planes and a year of service in the retinue of a balor. |
| 36577 Your chambers are as you wished, mistress. Master Antenos has bid me visit you as requested, mistress. Is there anything else you require, mistress? |
| 36578 What is your name that I might acknowledge you with respect? |
| 36579 What is your purpose here? |
| 36580 You have mistaken me for someone else. Are you well? |
| 36581 And grateful I am to join it. Now let this be the first service I render to you: Before his timely demise, Mekrath sequestered a certain gem within an altar in this place... |
| 36582 It is, is it? Very well, then. I must return to my mistress, a certain Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe. Should you wish to speak with me again, my chaos birds, you may find me at her side. |
| 36583 I will get your notes when you require them, mistress. I am at your call at all times, mistress. Might I serve you, mistress? |
| 36584 Will you be dining in this eve, mistress? Should I prepare for two, mistress? Master Cohn does so enjoy when you allow him to join you, mistress. |
| 36585 Ah, you are not a denizen of the planes, then, are you...? |
| 36586 We are the guardians of decay, the saboteurs of meaning, the agents of destiny. And that destiny is that all things falter, all things fail. The multiverse is a snake that has caught its tail in its mouth... and begun to swallow. |
| 36587 You are the cook, I presume. Shall I come to you for meals as well? |
| 36588 Are there many people to feed here? |
| 36589 Are you well? You seem a touch out of sorts. |
| 36590 I will be ready when you will it, mistress. Master Cohn is always punctual, mistress. Will Laune see to herself as usual, mistress? |
| 36591 Friendship, then. You have freed me from one set of chains, but there is another task I must perform before that freedom is complete... |
| 36592 I was to deliver an important gem to my mistress, Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe, but the late Mekrath chose to "relieve" me of its possession. |
| 36593 Very well. Truly spoken and truly heard... I must depart, then, for my mistress is no doubt anxious for my return. |
| 36594 I was to bring her a certain gem, but Mekrath has stolen it from me and I do not have the time to search for it among his belongings... although I seem to remember it being in an altar here. |
| 36595 Between comrades, no apologies are needed. Instead, let me offer you a gift: Upon my capture, Mekrath took from me a certain gem and hid it in this place... in an altar, if I remember right... |
| 36596 Chains shall rust and ropes will fray. It is merely a question of which decays first, they or I. Nevertheless, my night ravens, it shall be as you wish. |
| 36597 I ask only one favor of you: Here in this place... in an altar, I believe... rests a gem that was stolen from me by yon mage. While the buzzards and the grave robbers shall have his body, I must have that gem. |
| 36598 Then go I shall, my rescuing raven, but not without passing on to you a token of my gratitude: When Mekrath captured me, I had upon my person a certain gem of great importance. |
| 36599 Away from me, dog. I will not have you touch me. |
| 36600 You are gracious beyond belief and well beyond the vagaries of my circumstance. One such as you I shall gladly join, and I shall sing your praises without mockery. |
| 36601 No need for that. I'm sure we're all on the same side here. |
| 36602 Is it your disrespect that has made the servants so placid? |
| 36603 I go where I wish. I am here at the behest of Bodhi, so I am no mere servant. |
| 36604 As for how you can help me, I can ask but one favor: Upon my capture, Mekrath stole from me a most important gem... I only have a hazy recollection of it being in an altar here. |
| 36605 Aye, the flower chooses not its wilting, nor metal rusting, nor us the inevitable rot of aging. You have hit upon the truth of things, my friend... |
| 36606 I will go then, as my mistress no doubt waits for me at the playhouse of the Sigil theater troupe. But please, before I go, let me beg of you one last seed of destiny... |
| 36607 They are placid because they are not worthy of speaking their minds. They serve, as will you in the end. Bah! Why Mistress Bodhi insists on dealing with meat such as you I do not... |
| 36608 That is to say, while I have my... reservations, I do not mean to... countermand the orders of the mistress. You are... welcome here. Now... now get out of my sight. |
| 36609 I... but I... very well. |
| 36610 Do not presume you are of so great a value. There are always more breathers such as you, and replacements can certainly be found! Why Mistress Bodhi insists on dealing with meat such as you I do not... |
| 36611 You are barely on the same plane of existence as one such as I! Never presume you are more than that to me! Honestly, why Mistress Bodhi insists on dealing with meat such as you I do not... |
| 36612 Go away. I will tolerate your presence as I must, but I will not acknowledge you any more than I notice the ants under my feet. |
| 36613 Greetings. I trust you have found your welcome adequate, if not exactly warm. I am Master Cohn Ta'glaen. If you choose to address me, call me Master Cohn. |
| 36614 Well then, Master Cohn, what is your purpose here? |
| 36615 I will call you what I wish, if that's all right. How about Tag? Or Ta'g if you prefer. |
| 36616 I am <CHARNAME>. May I ask what your function is here? |
| 36617 I am permanent, and you are not. That should suffice. I have the mistress's ear more than any other, as I have been with her since before she came to this place. |
| 36618 Forgive my aloof nature, but you are transient. I think young Meredath may even be temporary, as she will not survive her awkward years. I have myself to blame. |
| 36619 Oh, this chat has taken a downward turn. Despite the wishes of the mistress, I shall not deal with you. Laune is even more standoffish, though she is young. |
| 36620 Go walk amongst the others of your station. They will not care what you call them, for they are named each day for their tasks, to keep things simple. Leave. |
| 36621 Ahh, but I will say no more. Walk amongst the others of your station. They are named for their daily tasks, to keep things simple. Leave me. |
| 36622 I have nothing more to say until the mistress bids it. Feel fortunate, for we do not often even bother acknowledging our disregard for such as you. |
| 36623 Good, I'm glad you think so, but let's get something straight: I'm not your slave, I'm not your whipping boy... I'm someone whom you're going to need. |
| 36624 Before your dear friend Mekrath threw me into chains, he took from me a certain gem that I was delivering to a close acquaintance of mine, Miss Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe. |
| 36625 Aye then, your slave I am, and let the slave enrich the master: Mekrath has squirreled away a gem of great value within this place. It was once mine, and I was to deliver it to Miss Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe... |
| 36626 Yes, master, aye, master, your will ever be done... Ha, your spine is weak, friend, but do not worry: I shall make it strong. There be a gem hidden within these chambers, squirreled away in an altar. |
| 36627 All right, my rescuing ravens, I shall ally myself to your cause, whatever it may be. But in return, I ask that you ally yourself to mine: When he imprisoned me, Mekrath took from me a most important gem. |
| 36628 Aye, I was a Doomguard once and perhaps I am one still. Though I have left the planes behind me, 'tis true they have not left me. |
| 36629 May our lives be epic, then... But first, let us start small, let us shrink our world down to a petty jewel: If I were a jewel, where would I hide, where would foolish Mekrath have put me for safekeeping? |
| 36630 Then make it neither fate nor luck. Come visit me by choice and by the force of will triumphant. I am an actor under Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe and was to deliver to her a certain costume gem. |
| 36631 Alas, upon my undue confinement in this place, yon wretched mage stole that most important gem from where I had hidden it 'neath my cap and secreted it within an altar here, if I remember right. |
| 36632 Aye, rhetoric has its many sorrows. I will go then, but not without a final favor asked: 'Midst Mekrath's petty detritus, in an altar, there lies a gem... his theft of which I was a victim. |
| 36633 If you can find it, I pray that you return it to me at the playhouse of the Sigil theater troupe, beneath the Five Flagons Inn, for it is there that I abide. |
| 36634 You give yon mage too much credit. He is too busy reading Volo's Guides! He has no more sense of culture than your average ooze or jelly! |
| 36635 Nay, he merely captured me because I held a gem that he was coveting. I was to deliver it to Miss Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe, beneath the Five Flagons Inn. |
| 36636 Very well. In fact, perhaps you could help me with my engagements. Upon my capture, Mekrath stole a certain costume gem from me, and I must have it back. It rests in an altar here, if I remember. |
| 36637 You are bloody passive-aggressive, has anyone ever told you that? Honestly, you'd think I was the one who rescued you... |
| 36638 Tell you what: I must return to Mistress Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe, with whom I have been associated now for many years. I was delivering a gem to her when yon mage abducted me into his keeping. |
| 36639 Well spoken, my dark and rescuing raven. I have an appointment to keep with Miss Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe, but perhaps you could assist me yet. |
| 36640 It is, my raven, it is... Now allow me to add a mystery of my own to your cabal. Prior to my capture by yon corpse, I was delivering an important gem to Miss Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe beneath the Five Flagons. |
| 36641 Ah, then allow me to arrange for another meeting that might be in your interest: Prior to my capture by yon corpse, I had in my possession a certain gem of great personal value. |
| 36642 I would like that, and perhaps I have the excuse for just such an encounter: Prior to my capture at the hands of yon corpse, I carried with me a gem of great personal value. |
| 36643 Just as you have your orders, I had mine: I was to deliver that gem to Raelis Shai, the mistress of the Sigil theater troupe beneath the Five Flagons Inn. |
| 36644 I was Laudanus in Shertzwin's "Necropoli," Monsignor D'Artuzzi in "The Saving of New Crecia," Elminster himself in Master Geddarm's "To Flay a Mage," and a yugoloth butler in "A Comedy of Terrors." |
| 36645 Pity... Please, if you'll excuse me, I must return to our playhouse under the Five Flagons Inn as Raelis Shai, our Stagemistress, is no doubt vexed by my absence. |
| 36646 I was to bring her a certain piece of costume jewelry, but yon mage has taken it from me and hidden it in an altar here, I think. If you happen to come across it, I have no doubt that Miss Raelis will reward you for the effort. |
| 36647 Alas, the part was not as grand as it might seem. The venerable old fart is killed not three minutes into the first scene... |
| 36648 In return for your kindness, then, allow me to make you an offer: I seem to remember that in an altar here in the wizard's lair, there lies a gem of great importance. He took it from me upon my capture. |
| 36649 Aye, we are all ravens of despair one moment and howling, joyous hounds the next. Let me depart, then, but not without some token of thanks for your kind rescue: |
| 36650 Prior to my capture by yon mage, I carried with me a gem of great personal significance. I seem to remember it in an altar here... Find it and my mistress at the playhouse, Raelis Shai, will reward you greatly for its delivery. |
| 36651 I put no faith in chance, my hounds, only in destiny and decay, and the two are not so different. If you wish it, I shall leave, but our fates may be more entwined than you might wish. |
| 36652 You see, Mekrath took from me a certain gem of great importance and placed it in an altar here. I would like to impress upon you the fact that it might be in your interest to retrieve that gem and deliver it to me at my playhouse. |
| 36653 A bit part, I'm afraid, and the show was terrible. Amn is no place for satire, but at least it be safer than the planes... |
| 36654 Well, if you'll not have me, the Sigil theater troupe surely will... But let there be no hard feelings between us: You have given me my freedom, and for that I am grateful. |
| 36655 Look, Mekrath stole a gem of great personal value from me and secreted it in an altar here, if I remember. Perhaps you would be so kind as to deliver it to me at the playhouse under the Five Flagons Inn. |
| 36656 Very well, but let us stay a moment more. Upon my confinement here, Mekrath took from me a certain jewel that I hesitate to do without. I believe he stored it in an altar, if memory serves... |
| 36657 I would not have it any other way. Who among us know the vagaries of fate? You are here and, if you will have me, I shall stay with you until I choose otherwise. |
| 36658 The only thing I can be sure of is that all things fall, all things decay, and even the stones shall turn to dust. If I do so in your company, how is that different from doing so in another's? |
| 36659 Let us turn to more practical matters, then. Prior to falling into Mekrath's foul grasp, I carried with me a gem of great importance. I was to deliver it to Raelis Shai, mistress of the Sigil theater troupe. |
| 36660 You do yourself an injustice, friend, but no matter. I must depart, though it is with reluctance. In an altar in this place is a gem that holds a certain importance for me... |
| 36661 Aye, but isn't that the rub of it? We come in parcels to this life, limb to limb and nerve to nerve, even an umbilicus to tether the aged to the newly born. If you do not want the whole of me, my ravens, then you shall not have the half of me... |
| 36662 Though I suppose a piece of me still is missing: Upon my capture, I was stripped of a certain gem, which the wizard placed in an altar here, if hazy memory still serves. I long for its return. |
| 36663 I am my own master, and I shall render my life however short I wish it! There are greater beings in this world than either you or me so, forgive me, but this grub sees little point in bowing to the ant! |
| 36664 You've never walked the planes, then, have you? Never seen the horrors of the Abyss, never fallen under the gaze of the Lady of Pain, never marched through the quasi-elemental Plane of Dust in the retinue of a balor... |
| 36665 Aye, the distaste was mutual. He stole a gem from me upon my capture, placing it in an altar here, and should the ant ever care to perform a service for the grub, you may deliver it to me at the playhouse of the Sigil theater troupe. |

| 36667 Aye, another chance at slavery, full of yelling and belligerence, built on hollow threats that you have neither the will nor soul to enforce. Oh, I have every sense of what I'm missing, and I assure you, my raven of slavery, I want it not. |
| 36668 No, I shall return to my mistress with the Sigil theater troupe, and should you ever care to renegotiate our mutual distaste for each other, I suggest you bring a gift... |
| 36669 He had no name, or at least none he chose to give... He was just another balor in the Blood War, and I marched endlessly in his retinue through the quasi-elemental Plane of Dust... |
| 36670 I sang burlesque songs about the parentage of his enemies and so he let me live. It was that simple and that complex... I was his favorite and he, perhaps, was mine. |
| 36671 Very well. My memories are hazy, but I believe it to be in an altar here. Once it is recovered, we must bring it to Raelis Shai, mistress of the Sigil theater troupe, for she will reward us handsomely for such a service. |
| 36672 Very well then, as a token of my trust, I will leave you here in the presence of my gem. Should you have an ounce of wit or honor about you, I would like to see it returned to me. |
| 36673 I shall be staying at the playhouse of the Sigil theater troupe, currently beneath the Five Flagons Inn, where my mistress shall reward you most admirably for the safe conduct of the jewel. |
| 36674 Fine, fine, take the gem and with my blessing. It is a petty costume jewel that I was to deliver to Mistress Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe. |
| 36675 Pawning it will bring you but a paltry sum of gold, far less than what Miss Shai can offer. By whatever route it reaches her, as long as it does so, I am happy. If you wish to find it, I believe it to be in an altar here. |
| 36676 Mayhaps you shall, mayhaps you shan't. Afore this ruffled raven flies, I must tell you of one thing: In an altar here in the mage's lair is a most important gem. |
| 36677 Prior to my capture, I was to deliver it to Mistress Raelis Shai of the Sigil theater troupe, currently beneath the Five Flagons Inn. If you find it, please make the delivery in my stead as it is important that she receives it. |

| 36691 Aye, you will do as you must. I never could stop you. I owe our savior more than parting words, however. <CHARNAME>, here are the deeds to the playhouse in Amn. |
| 36692 Few are, my raven. So few are. For the merest moment, two destinies converge, two fates collide, two dreams entwine as one before unraveling to spiral off into the ether... |
| 36693 Oh, Haer'Dalis, you were always too in love with poetry and not enough with me. But alas, ye Doomguard, I know you well enough not to steal you from your tragedy. |
| 36694 <CHARNAME>, if we be parting ways, then let me give to you the deeds to the playhouse in Amn. May it be yours, and may all who serve you do so gallantly... |
| 36695 Few are, my raven. So few are. For the merest moment, two destinies converge, two fates collide, two dreams entwine as one before unraveling to spiral off into the ether... |
| 36696 Oh, Haer'Dalis, you were always too in love with poetry and not enough with me. I will not steal you from your tragedy. If only you will remember me in mine. |
| 36697 It's just like I thought it would be: helping others and doing good things. |
| 36698 This isn't right. We're supposed to be better than this. |
| 36699 If we don't change our ways, I'm going to have to leave. I cannot tolerate this. |
| 36700 You... you're nothing like I thought! I will have no part of you! |
| 36701 I shall strive to help all those under me. |
| 36702 *sigh* I'm not accustomed to these long days. Could we stop and rest? *yawn* |
| 36703 I could sit around doing nothing back at the keep. Let's get going. |
| 36704 For the needy! |
| 36705 In my father's name! |
| 36706 I will do what I must! |
| 36709 Iâ€â€I'm afraid I'm the needy one now... Help me, please. |
| 36710 I am not used to such wide-open spaces. Aunty never went anywhere that wasn't carpeted. |
| 36711 I don't like cities much. They are built on the backs of the unfortunate. |
| 36712 Iâ€â€I really don't like this. How are we helping the less fortunate trudging around in here? |
| 36713 Another day of freedom! I never felt like this back in the ballrooms of home. |
| 36714 Ah, Mekrath's prize! It shall be our salvation yet! Here, <CHARNAME>: 300 gold for the rescue of my bard and a further 700 for the gem. |
| 36715 Yes, Miss Raelis. Ah... my ravens, there be a tale between us that is long overdue: Forgive me if I led you to believe that yon gem was just a worthless bauble for the stage. |
| 36716 In truth, it be something far more interesting: a planar jewel... a nexus between the Astral Plane and the Prime Material Plane, in which we are currently. |
| 36717 Oh my, time is short and here I am to give a lecture on the nature of the multiverse... |
| 36718 As you are well aware, this playhouse in which we stand is property of the Sigil theater troupe, which is to say Miss Raelis, myself, and our company of fellow actors. |
| 36719 Yes, well... Travel between these planes is not the easiest thing, especially into and out of what we call the Prime Material Plane, which the Sword Coast and the whole world of Faerûn is but an infinitesimal part... |
| 36720 "A Comedy of Terrors," it was called, and the fact that the playwright wished to remain anonymous should have been sufficient clue. |
| 36721 Little did we know that the sordid tale of lust between two certain planar beings might hold a mirror to the truth. Within hours, the theater was left in ruins and a price was placed upon our fleeing heads. |
| 36722 Aye, my questioning hounds, one does not satirize Duke Rowan Darkwood, factol of the Fated, and expect to live a life of safety... |
| 36723 A wretched cambion hunts us as we speak and has apparently tracked us down to the Prime Material, though he has yet to make his move. |
| 36724 To travel from between planes, we birds of flight can pass through what are called young conduits, whipping snakelike tubes that writhe within the Astral Plane, their heads and tails clinging to different pieces of the multiverse. |
| 36725 The planar stone acts like a charmer's pipe upon these conduits, bringing them to us that we might enter and pass through. |
| 36726 Haer'Dalis, everyone, gather 'round. The stone is ready to begin the summoning... |
| 36727 As the conduits open, they will bring something with them. We will do what we can to hold off whatever beasts come, the better to determine which route be safest. |
| 36728 Yes, Miss Raelis. Ah... my ravens, there be a tale between us that is long overdue: Forgive me if I led you to believe that yon gem was just a worthless bauble for the stage. |
| 36729 In truth, it be far more interesting a planar jewel, a nexus between the Astral and the Prime Material. |
| 36730 Oh my, time is short and here I am to give a lecture on the nature of the multiverse... |

| 36739 'Tis true, I lied to you and not once as you might think, but twice... |

| 36743 Cannot cast Protection From Magical Weapons when already protected from normal weapons. |
| 36744 It is good to see you again, my dear. It does these old bones good to see you out of this circus and seeing the world. I knew I couldn't keep you here forever. |
| 36745 Ahhh, I knew the child should have gone sooner. Now she's dead, and all she knew was this circus. It does a poor gnome's heart ill to have outlived her. |
| 36746 I have heard much of your deeds, <CHARNAME>. You have done well as a paladin without a patron. Garren speaks well of you, and he had a recommendation. |
| 36747 I thank you, my good <MANWOMAN>, for helping us. Kalah was a fine illusionist... just more deluded than anyone knew. Take care of my Aerie, then, will you? |
| 36748 The Unseeing Eye is my savior and our deity. Lathander, Helm, and all the rest are but paltry and false gods before him. He who is sightless sees and knows all! |
| 36749 He wished you to be recognized for your heroics. You truly exemplify the paladin spirit, and I would have you demonstrate it further. |
| 36750 I was not forced to put out my eyes, foolish heretic. I did so to add to my enlightenment and to please the Unseeing Eye. |
| 36751 I am your dreaded savior! I am the fire that shall light the path to your redemption, faithless one! |
| 36752 Oh, quake you will in your boots if you refuse the benevolent gift of the Unseeing Eye! |
| 36753 The Unseeing Eye has come to us and shown us the true path! I have stricken my eyes only to see what has never been before revealed... |
| 36754 I speak of those false orbs within your head! Your eyes, fool! You are one of the faithless, and you shall be stricken by the Unseeing Eye when he passes judgment upon you all! |
| 36755 Oh, ye shall surely burn, you will! The foul sight that you linger on to shall draw his holy presence before you, and you shall be cast from this world as a blight of evil! |
| 36756 It would be an honor to serve in any way that I can. |
| 36757 I follow the path that I must. There is no other for a paladin. |
| 36758 I do not demonstrate. I simply do. |
| 36759 Then you shall continue under the guidance of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. You could ask for no better a patron. |
| 36760 Go, I bid you speak with William Reirrac. He shall be our liaison. The tasks you are given shall be for the causes of justice. Give them the attention they merit. |
| 36761 Then I set my life in your hands. Direct it as you see fit, my liege. |
| 36762 I will follow as I must, as long as the cause is just. |
| 36763 I cannot accept this honor at this time. I have personal matters to attend to. |
| 36764 Your life is still yours; do not neglect your own quests and crusades. But treat your assignments with the utmost urgency. Go speak to William Reirrac. |
| 36765 The cause shall be just if you perform as you should. Do not neglect your own quests, but treat your assignments with urgency. Go to William Reirrac now. |
| 36766 I am not asking you to forever forgo your own agenda, just set it aside for a short time. This offer will not be made again. Decide well and forever. |
| 36767 I accept this honor and all the responsibility that goes with it. Direct me. |
| 36768 I regret that I cannot accept this honor. Perhaps another time... |
| 36769 There is no other time. I wish you well as a homeless paladin, for they make up the meat of our war against evil. You have our blessing, but not our support. |
| 36770 I look forward to the reports of your achievements. I'm sure you will not betray our faith in your ability. |
| 36771 What's so important about this cup? |
| 36772 When a new paladin joins our Order, he is given a cup. It is a symbol of the unity between the Order and the paladins who serve the Order. |
| 36773 Anarg wants to maintain a link to the Order using the cup, but I see that it is necessary for you to give it to him in order to gain his trust. |
| 36774 Can I trust you to return it to me after your mission is completed? |
| 36775 Yes, we will return it. |

| 36777 Good day to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 36778 It is a great shame that you did not wish to join the Order. You would have been a great asset, though I am sure you still serve the cause of righteousness. |
| 36779 You have disgraced the order and all that it stands for. Find your way as you will, but you will get no help from here. |
| 36780 You have done much for the cause of good, even while mistakenly under the guise of a villain. Speak with the prelate, for he would have the Order make amends. |
| 36781 I welcome you within the fold. I am sure you will bring great honor upon your name and ours. |
| 36782 Your refusal is mystifying. Go with our good graces, but remember what you have lost here today. |
| 36783 You have proven unworthy of association with the Order, and I cannot say you will be missed. |
| 36784 Your name is spoken well of by those that matter most. Go to the prelate, for he has much to say. |
| 36785 Welcome to the great Order. Torm guide you in your duties. |
| 36786 I cannot fathom why you would turn down such an honor, but my hopes go with you in your travels regardless. |
| 36787 You have proven unworthy of the Order. Go and seek your fortune elsewhere, for you will find no sanctuary here. |
| 36788 Tyr does live in your actions. Go to the prelate, that your peers might honor you. |
| 36789 You are welcome within our fold. I am sure you will serve the cause of justice as best you are capable. |
| 36790 I heard of your service to the cause of goodness, but you will not be taking orders from me on this matter. Go to the prelate; I will speak of other things later. |
| 36791 Welcome to the ranks, <CHARNAME>. I am sure you will serve well. Speak with William Reirrac for your tasks and duties. |
| 36792 That you would turn down such a great honor is baffling. Many work for years to be considered. |
| 36793 I cannot imagine why you would throw away the honor and respect of your peers. You shall find no sanctuary here. |
| 36794 Your presence was tolerated while <CHARNAME> was among our honored membership. Now that <PRO_HESHE> is no longer worthy, neither are you. Leave this place. |
| 36795 Welcome. I have been awaiting you. You should know the particulars of your service here and what being a member of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart really means. |
| 36796 I am ready to serve in whatever capacity is needed, no matter how humble. |
| 36797 I will serve as long as the cause is just. I will not do common mercenary work. |
| 36798 I hope the Order agrees with me. My beliefs are very strict. |
| 36799 Oh, you are not meant for humble service. We have many a hopeful squire for such duties and that. No, you are of a caliber that demands challenge and sacrifice. |
| 36800 No, a paladin is not to be squandered on trifling problems. They are rare beings and... transitory enough that they must be placed where they do the most good. |
| 36801 If discipline is your wish, you shall have it. The order is very clear about what it demands of its servants, as failure may result in the loss of innocents. |
| 36802 I will make short mention of what you will receive here, as I have but a small amount of time. Your first task is urgent; you must set out within the hour. |
| 36803 Behind me is your private room. Not all members get such a privilege, but you are an honored guest as well. Stow what you must, as more important things await. |
| 36804 Tell me what is needed, and I shall act. Wait no longer! |
| 36805 I will do what I can. Speak what you would have me do. |
| 36806 Speak the task, and I shall see if I am able to help. |
| 36807 You are aware of the conflict with the Sythillisian Empire? There have been invasions into Amnian lands. We have been monitoring outposts, and all is not well. |
| 36808 One outpost reported an imminent attack because an enemy unit needed their supplies. A runner barely made it with the information, and we fear the worst. |
| 36809 You must leave immediately for the furthest lengths of the Umar Hills. You must join the combat and rescue our knights, for they are surely outnumbered. |
| 36810 I will go this instant! Others of the Order will not fall while I stand idle! |
| 36811 Are you certain of this? Should not others go as well? |
| 36812 I will leave as soon as I restock and rest up. |
| 36813 Good. We would send others as well, but we have concerns about a suspected war between the churches. Go, and rescue whom you can. You have little time. |
| 36814 Many of our order must stay to protect the city. Opposing churches are threatening war and must be quelled. No, you must go, and you must go now. |
| 36815 There is no time. Our warriors may be battling even now, and travel to the area is not instantaneous! You must go and go quickly if we are to save them! |
| 36816 You have returned, as have our observing runners. The battle was bloody and fierce, and the outcome all but certain. |
| 36817 You were not even seen in the area! Our brave warriors... slaughtered without you! We lost some experienced swords today, as well as a hopeful squire. A squire! |
| 36818 All of our warriors fell on the field, despite you being seen in the area. I am sure you fought at their sides to the sadly bitter end. |
| 36819 You fought well, but the odds were overwhelming. Shamus survived, but we have lost two treasured members. Let us speak their names in remembrance. |
| 36820 There was little more that could be done against such odds. Grady will live to see many more years, but the others... Let us speak their names in remembrance. |
| 36821 Despite your efforts, many died, and yet there is hope. Elotte, a squire, still lives. She will carry the names of the fallen. Say them now, in remembrance. |
| 36822 Only one of our order fell once you joined the fray, though it is a sad loss. She was a squire, the future of the order, and barely knew life's fleeting wonder. |
| 36823 There was but one loss on the field once you joined. Elotte and Shamus will carry the memory of him in their future battles, as will the many that knew of him. |
| 36824 All but one was saved. Grady will carry his memory, and Elotte will follow in his spirit. Speak of him now in remembrance, and serve the cause he died for. |
| 36825 With drive and conviction, we have prevailed! All our fine warriors have come home, leaving the despotic to scurry away and lick their wounds! |
| 36826 You have betrayed us with your slothfulness. Did you think me not serious when I said that time was of the essence? You are hereby expelled from the order. |
| 36827 Is there nothing I can do? I am sincere in my apology. |
| 36828 It was a mere three people! Am I to be cast aside for such minuscule losses? |
| 36829 Then I will go. No sense in making this difficult for anyone. I will atone elsewhere. |

| 36833 We shall speak no more except in tribute. Grady, a veteran; he served during the Time of Troubles and saw his lord with his own eyes. He takes those memories with him. |
| 36834 Shamus, a second-generation member... The father began settlements reclaimed from evil. Shamus followed, and shall be buried beside The father. Their lineage ends here. |
| 36835 And Elotte... Elotte... a squire eager to prove herself. She sought a life in Helm's service, though the clergy was not for her. Her light will be missed. |
| 36836 Now we must move on. There are sinister things that must be dealt with, despite our sorrow. We must ensure that others do not fall in pointless deaths. |
| 36837 Grady, a veteran... he served during the time of troubles and saw his lord with his own eyes. He takes those memories with him. We shall miss his wisdom. |
| 36838 And Elotte... Elotte... a squire eager to prove herself. She sought a life in Helm's service, though the clergy was not for her. Her light will be missed. |
| 36839 Shamus, a second-generation member... The father began settlements reclaimed from evil. Shamus followed, and shall be buried beside The father. Their lineage ends here. |

| 36841 Shamus, a second-generation member... The father began settlements reclaimed from evil. Shamus followed, and shall be buried beside The father. Their lineage ends here. |
| 36842 Grady, a veteran... he served during the time of troubles and saw his lord with his own eyes. He takes those memories with him. We shall miss his wisdom. |
| 36843 Let us speak of Elotte in tribute; her life was brief, but not without glory. She sought to serve Helm, though the clergy was not for her. Her light will be missed. |
| 36844 Shamus, a second-generation member... The father began settlements reclaimed from evil. Shamus followed, and shall be buried beside The father. Their lineage ends here. |
| 36845 You have the respect of your peers today, for those you saved were well liked. Elotte is a particular favorite; her exuberance has proven quite catching. |
| 36846 But we cannot rest upon our laurels for long. There is still much for our kind to do, as the villainous do not rest while we do. |
| 36847 Ask the dead if anything will take away their pain. No, you have failed. Take your belongings and go, for you will find this place quite cold to you in the future. |
| 36848 A mere three people? A veteran, a young warrior, and a squire with hope in her heart... these people are gone, and with them any respect you may have earned. |
| 36849 May the gods grant you mercy, as you will find none here. Take your belongings and go, for you will find this place quite cold to you in the future. |

| 36851 Zombie Lord |
| 36852 Listen, you little maggot! I want to know how you got your collar off, right now... or you'll find there are far worse things than being a slave! |
| 36853 Thank you ever so much for coming to our aid. I shudder to think of the result of the area if none of us were here. Even now the cost has been too high. |
| 36854 Thank you for arriving when you did, though I'm sure the glory of the True God would have seen me through. |
| 36855 I must thank you for your assistance here today. Things might have been much worse if you had not come along, though they are bad enough now. |
| 36856 N-no! No! I don't care what you say! I w-won't be a slave any more! |
| 36857 Well, if that's the way you |
| 36858 T'rael! Hold! Others have come through the portal! |
| 36859 What? Others? Ah... the primes. How foolish of you to have followed your actor friends here. Von'ith, close the portal, please. |
| 36860 I thank the Watcher that all my comrades will return from the battle today. I have you to thank. Are you one of the Order? I do not recognize you. |
| 36861 I... I must be thankful for my life and the life of Shamus. Poor Grady... He was my elder in experience, but his spirit was young... such stories he told... |
| 36862 I... I must be thankful for my life and the life of Grady. Poor Shamus... He was barely a year older than I. Oh, the plans he had for his life... |
| 36863 I... I... Helm, Great Guard, take these spirits unto Everwatch, while I take their names with me in life. I will fill the void... the void... |
| 36864 Heh. Do you have any idea at all where you are, primes? |
| 36865 It doesn't matter... I'm here to rescue my friends. |
| 36866 I assume I'm on another plane, naturally. |
| 36867 I'll remember to ask you when you're bleeding and at the point of my sword, fool! |
| 36868 Not really... just came through for a bit of sightseeing, really. |
| 36869 How touching, truly. Your actor friends are already imprisoned and at the whim of the cambion until they're transported to the duke. You are far too late to help them. |
| 36870 This place is one of the finest prisons in the planes. There is no way out of here... except at the whim of the cambion. What fools you must be to come here of your own volition. |
| 36871 I am new to the Order. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 36872 There is no time for this. I must return to the Order and report what has happened. |
| 36873 I am not surprised. You do not seem very competent. |
| 36874 No matter. I expect you'll bring a grand price from the cambion as new thralls. Hunters... take <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 36875 Oh, you are a sharp one, prime. I'm afraid it's much, much worse than that. |
| 36876 Thankful... must be thankful. You... ahem... you have the bearing of one of the Order, but I do not recognize your face. Are you a member? |
| 36877 Hah! Witless and full of bravado as well. You've experience in your bearing, of that I have no doubt... but if you think your arrival will help your friends, you are quite wrong. |
| 36878 Then you are more witless than I mistook you for. This is a poor choice for a sightseeing trip, prime... as it will likely be your last. |
| 36879 I am new to the Order. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 36880 There is no time for this. I must return to the Order and report what has happened. |
| 36881 I am not surprised. You do not seem very competent. |
| 36882 <CHARNAME>... I do not know it, but I am just a squire. You must have impressed the prelate if you are a full member. I... I should go. There is much to report... |
| 36883 Ah, of course. I am but a squire and still unsure as to how far I might take liberties talking. I will go report these horrible circumstances. Thank you again. |
| 36884 I... I am but a squire. Grady knows of my worth... he and Shamus... My feelings must wait until I report these horrible events. Thank you, but I... must go. |
| 36885 Thank Grimjaws we are all unscathed and that these fell creatures have received their due. Elotte will be a fine knight come time, and Shamus is more than capable. |
| 36886 Thank the Wounded One for saving Shamus today; I feared his wounds too grave. Elotte, however... I will weep for her. She would have made a fine knight. |
| 36887 The Just God has seen to it that Elotte survive. A fine knight she will be, in time. And Shamus... I shall take his name into battle with me. |
| 36888 I must take solace in the teachings of the Maimed God, for I share his pain. Elotte and Shamus... they shall be missed by all that knew them. |
| 36889 And you, our allies when all was dark, where do you call home? You have the bearing of our Order, but I know you not. I am quite used to knowing everyone. |
| 36890 I am <CHARNAME>, and I am new to the Order. I wish I could have helped more. |
| 36891 No time for pleasantries. I must return to the Order and report of this event. |
| 36892 Perhaps you are getting as forgetful as you are weak in your old age. |
| 36893 You have come away alive. There will be other battles. The fallen will be mourned, while the living fight on. If I cried for all I missed, I should be awash in tears. |
| 36894 We must reflect on what we have done. Action without thought is mere instinct, and there is no righteousness in that. You will learn this in the Order. Go if you must. |
| 36895 Perhaps, though I know enough to respect my elders... as you should. Then they might show respect if they have to bury you. |
| 36896 I must speak of these villainous events to the Order... to mourn the losses and exalt the successes. This is the hardest part of the journey. Fear it, young one. |
| 36897 Today, we have fought well and lived to tell, yes <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Now old Grady will pull some wisdom out of his tail end, and young Elotte will be wide-eyed for days. |
| 36898 Poor Elotte. Grady will be heartbroken. She tried hard, I'll give her that. Very sad. The next crusade I'm on I'll undertake in her name. |
| 36899 Damn shame about Grady. Elotte will mourn him greatly. I hope it doesn't jade her. Rage must go to fighting villainy, rather than stewing in one's gullet. |
| 36900 I'm alone here, aren't I? I'll dread this walk home, I assure you of that. Elotte and Grady... I shall have their names mounted upon a placard when next I battle. |
| 36901 And you? What of you? Only the Order knew of our predicament. Did they send you? Are you mercenary, or are you new to the fold? |
| 36902 I am <CHARNAME>, and I am new to the Order. I tried to help as best I could. |
| 36903 I have no more time for this chatter. I have done what I must, and now I will go. |
| 36904 Perhaps. They may need replacements for cocky upstarts such as yourself. |
| 36905 'Tis a case of the pot calling the kettle black, I would think. Suit yourself. I must pick up the pieces and go on, to honor the fallen. |
| 36906 Of course you did. I always dread the walk home. The glory of the fight is more fulfilling than picking up the pieces afterwards. Farewell. |
| 36907 I see. Can't say I blame you. Cleaning up the mess, both physically and spiritually, is quite a task indeed. Me, I try and be civil while doing it. Farewell. |
| 36908 <CHARNAME>, we have been commissioned by a local barony. Such service to political figures is good for the Order, and you will serve quite well in the task. |
| 36909 I... I thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, for your timely rescue. I am afraid I did not give much thought as to what I would do after I removed my collar. |
| 36910 It was foolish of me, I suppose, but I would rather be dead than remain enslaved to the cambion forever. There has to be a way out of here somewhere! |
| 36911 Cannot cast other protection spells on a character with Protection From Magical Weapons. |
| 36912 What do you mean by your collar? |
| 36913 What is this cambion you speak of? |
| 36914 Surely there must be a way out of here! |
| 36915 Do you know where I can find Haer'Dalis and his troupe? |
| 36916 Well, good luck. I have to be on my way. |
| 36917 The warden keeps a large number of slaves here... prisoners that have been turned into thralls by a magical collar that they wear that controls them. They are next to impossible to remove. |
| 36918 Mine had a small flaw in it, and I was able to squirm out of it not long ago... only to find that there was almost nowhere for me to go here and danger down every corridor. |
| 36919 What was this cambion you mentioned? |
| 36920 Nowhere to go? Is there no way out of here? |
| 36921 Do you know where I might find Haer'Dalis and his troupe? |
| 36922 Well, I suppose I'll be on my way, then. |
| 36923 The cambion? The cambion here is the warden of this prison. I know not his true name, but he is a cruel and evil master who delights in the suffering of his thralls. |
| 36924 He is a powerful demon as well. You may have defeated his bounty hunters, but if I were you, I would find a way out of here and avoid him entirely. |
| 36925 What did you mean when you mentioned your collar? |
| 36926 You said there was no way out of here? Surely that is incorrect. |
| 36927 Do you know where I might find Haer'Dalis and his troupe? |
| 36928 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 36929 The only sure way out of this planar prison is through the dark magic of the cambion himself. But I doubt he would transport anyone out of here willingly. |
| 36930 There be no physical exit that I know of. The portals lead only to other rooms within the prison, and there are no doors or windows... if indeed there is even an outside to speak of here. |
| 36931 No... the only way one can leave is through the use of magic. Powerful magic that only a few might have, to attract a conduit to this dim and forsaken place. |
| 36932 What is this cambion you speak of? |
| 36933 You mentioned a collar... what did you mean by that? |
| 36934 Do you know where I might find Haer'Dalis and his troupe? |
| 36935 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 36936 A contingency spell has been triggered |
| 36937 One of the spells has failed. |
| 36938 Fell Ghast |
| 36939 Fell Ghast |
| 36940 Hello, Father. |
| 36941 And hello to you, my youngest daughter. I trust all is well? |
| 36942 Yes, Father. I suppose so. |
| 36943 Hello, Father. Are you... are you coming home for a while? |
| 36944 I am not sure yet, my sweet. I must speak to your mother. |
| 36945 Oh, all right. |
| 36946 You are friends of the actors? Ahhh... then you may as well begin mourning them, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. They are in the warden's cells, awaiting transport to Duke Rowan's tower, I am told. |
| 36947 The warden is directly north of here, through the hallway... but I would advise against going down that path. |
| 36948 You will see on the floor markings that the tanar'ri have left with their magic... portals that transport you to the other rooms of this prison. |
| 36949 The ones in the hallway to the north you cannot avoid, and they bring you to the barracks where the warden keeps his personal soldiers and thralls. 'Tis a most dangerous path to take. |
| 36950 There is another way to reach the warden... a safer way, perhaps, that may serve your purpose and perhaps mine as well. Might I tell you of it? |
| 36951 Very well, I'm listening. |
| 36952 I've no interest in hearing your thoughts. Excuse me. |
| 36953 I'm not about to trust a supposedly free and definitely desperate slave. I'll be on my way. |
| 36954 Er... if you could but tarry a moment, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, I could perhaps offer you some small assistance... something that would aid me as well. |
| 36955 Very well, I'm listening. |
| 36956 I've no interest in hearing this. Excuse me. |
| 36957 I'm not about to trust the words of a desperate free slave. I'll find my own way. |
| 36958 Ku |
| 36959 The passage to the east leads to the chambers of the Master of Thralls... a lesser tanar'ri who holds a device that I know allows him to control the collars. |
| 36960 Destroy that device and the thralls are freed. The warden is vulnerable... and I will be able to contact my newly freed friends. Some of them are mages who will teleport us away. |
| 36961 As well, the portals on the floors to the east may be avoided... they lead only to other cells, I understand, and are full of naught but violent and dangerous creatures. |
| 36962 I... I would not offer this chance, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, if I did not think you might have a chance against the warden himself. I can think of no other way for either of us to escape this place, truly. |
| 36963 The warden is powerful by himself, true, but he is also protected by the many thralls under his control through the collars they wear. |
| 36964 Why do I not simply free your thralls and have them teleport us away? Why must I fight the warden? |
| 36965 There are many old and powerful magics in this prison, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. We might get away briefly, but the prison's magic would track us... and the warden would send powerful hunters very quickly. |
| 36966 But the prison's magic dies with the warden. It is the only way. |
| 36967 Very well. I will find this Master of Thralls and do as you suggest. |
| 36968 Forget it... I will try to find my own way out of here. |
| 36969 I'm not about to trust the word of a desperate slave. You could be setting me up for a trap. |
| 36970 Then... then I wish you well, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I myself shall remain here where it is safe... for now. |
| 36971 Khollynnus Paac |
| 36972 Then all hope is lost. I... I hope you find some way out, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, I truly do. |
| 36973 Kuo-toan Lieutenant |
| 36974 Most excellent, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Luck is smiling on me, truly, that the mere chance for true escape arrived with you through that conduit. I wish you every success. |
| 36975 It is necessary for us to be accessible in local concerns lest we seem above the people. In this case, a baron has petitioned us to solve a land dispute. |
| 36976 Of course, I shall do what I can. |
| 36977 I care not for bureaucratic types, but I serve the will of the Order. |
| 36978 Hello, m'lord. Your father is angry. Enter at your own peril. |
| 36979 Be most careful, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! I understand the Master of Thralls to be a fearsome opponent! But... but you must destroy his device! The thralls must be free! |
| 36980 You have destroyed the orb, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? I... I almost did not believe it possible! How wondrous! |
| 36981 My friends have likely fled to the farthest corners of the prison or teleported away foolishly. I will tell them to prepare themselves once the warden is dead! |
| 36982 You must destroy the cambion now, my <LADYLORD>! It is our only chance! |
| 36983 Who in the blazes are you? |
| 36984 Is... is there something that I can do for you, my <LADYLORD>? I shall do anything I can, in return for the kindness you have paid me. |
| 36985 Baron Metrich wishes some squatters removed and has cited violence against his men as reason for it. Go to his lands, restore order, and bring favor to us. |
| 36986 Kuo-toan Lieutenant |
| 36987 You are to restore order on Baron Metrich's lands. Go with all haste to meet with the baron in the tavern in the Umar Hills. |
| 36988 The baron waits in a neutral meeting place. He is in a tavern in the Umar Hills, in the village of Imnesvale. Go now. |
| 36989 Kuo-toan Warrior |
| 36990 Tell me where I might find Haer'Dalis and his troupe, if you can. |
| 36991 Kuo-toan Whip |
| 36993 Kuo-toan Whip |
| 36994 You mentioned a plan you had to get us out of here... tell me about it, please. |
| 36995 No thanks, I'm going to keep looking. |
| 36996 Kuo-toan Monitor |
| 36997 Kuo-toan Monitor |
| 36998 You can rot there for all I care. |
| 36999 As you wish, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 37000 I see. Well... I shall wish you luck regardless in escaping this place. |
| 37001 Aerial Servant |

| 37005 Ah... I see you have the orb with you, my <LADYLORD>. I think the brazier in the room just east of here might serve to destroy it... if anything can. |

| 37026 What is this? What is this? Are the prisoners escaping?! |
| 37027 We must protect the warden's pet! |
| 37028 Yes! He will be ever so angry if anything happens to his favorite! |
| 37029 Away with you, prisoners! Return to your cells or the warden will be most displeased! |
| 37030 Hmmm... vermin, I see. Come, my pretty thralls. These are no escaped prisoners... these are invaders! We must destroy them for my master! |
| 37031 *sob* Please, my husband! Try to understand! |
| 37032 Kuo-toan Priest |
| 37033 <CHARNAME>, I cannot do this! I must be away from my wife lest I go mad! Please, I must be away! |
| 37034 You! You are the ones who have brought such disruption to this prison and my thralls, eh? Well, this will be the end of that! |
| 37035 Aaaah! Please leave me be! I have done nothing! |
| 37036 You... you have killed the master! You have killed him! By Clangeddin's axe, I thought such a thing not even possible! |
| 37037 Kuo-toan Wizard |
| 37038 Kuo-toan Wizard |
| 37039 Can you tell me where the warden is? |
| 37040 Do you know what device this creature has that controls the thralls? |
| 37041 Do you know of a way out of here? |
| 37042 Well, it is. I'll be moving on now. |
| 37043 Y-yes... the warden is in the great chamber just west of here, down the hall. B-but... do you not want to destroy the orb first? |
| 37044 Why would I want to do that? |
| 37045 Why don't you destroy it yourself? |
| 37046 How would I destroy it? |
| 37047 No, I'll be going. |
| 37048 Y-yes... it is the orb he carries... the orb of mastery! I... I cannot touch it so long as I wear this collar. But if you wish to destroy it, you can... |
| 37049 You must take the orb to the room south of here with the magical brazier in the center... the flames will surely destroy the orb and free all the thralls here in the process! |
| 37050 I... I must flee before the warden discovers that the Master of Thralls is dead! Please... destroy the orb if you are able! I beg you! |
| 37051 There... there is no way out! No way at all! Unless... unless you destroy the orb, I suppose. That... that would free all the thralls... |
| 37052 Why would I want to do that? |
| 37053 Why don't you destroy it yourself? |
| 37054 How do I destroy it? |
| 37055 No, I'll be on my way now. |
| 37056 The thralls could... we could remove our collars... and the warden would be unprotected. Killing the warden is... is the only way out, I think. I... I don't know... |
| 37057 Why don't you destroy the orb yourself? |
| 37058 How do I destroy it? |
| 37059 Very well, I will make the attempt. |
| 37060 Forget it, I have no need to do such a thing. |
| 37061 I cannot touch the orb so long as I wear the collar... and I cannot remove the collar without the orb's destruction... |
| 37062 Tell me why I should destroy the orb, then. |
| 37063 How do I destroy it? |
| 37064 Very well, I shall make the attempt. |
| 37065 Forget it, I have no need to do such a thing. |
| 37066 There... there is a room to the south... you can reach it through the chambers of the warden's pet. Although... although I suppose you already came through that way... |
| 37067 But... beyond it is a chamber with a brazier in the center. The magical flames might... might serve to destroy the orb. It is the only way I can think to do this... |
| 37068 Why do you not destroy it yourself, then? |
| 37069 Why should I do that? |
| 37070 Very well, I shall make the attempt. |
| 37071 Forget it, I have better things to do. |
| 37072 Y-yes... that is the only way. I wish you well... if you take on the warden... |
| 37073 Ah... you are the pitiful group of fools from the Prime Material Plane, I see. Well, you will disturb my prison no further. No one escapes this place... no one. |
| 37074 Guards! Guards! The thralls are escaping! The fools! |
| 37075 Call on the Master of Thralls... I wish to know what is occurring here. I will tear this plane apart to have those filthy slaves returned! I will flay the skin from their... |
| 37076 ...what is this? You are not my guards! It... it is you! You are causing these problems! I shall take the rest of eternity to make you suffer! |
| 37077 You talk to Baron Metrich, and you be polite. |
| 37078 I'm just an adviser to the baron. You talk to him if you want anything, not to me. |
| 37079 But we must go before the duke marshals his forces. I will use what powers I have remaining to open another conduit. Are you ready, Haer'Dalis? |
| 37080 You... you have defeated the warden and freed us all. I wish I had some better way to thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, but I have little doubt you will find a way home on your own. |
| 37081 Aww, blazes! It ain't enough that the baron has all his thugs here, he's gotta hire outside mercenaries? You ain't gonna be too welcome among the farmers if the baron gets his way. |
| 37082 Please... accept my most heartfelt thanks. The thralls who were once imprisoned here shall always remember you. |
| 37083 I have been sent to preserve order in this barony. I will do what I must. |
| 37084 I have clear orders. The baron will have my support, no matter the circumstance. |
| 37085 I am of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, and I will support the side of right. |
| 37086 Order! Is that what the Baron Metrich calls it? I suppose he would think so, but he wasn't here first. His order is a lot different than this place used to be. |
| 37087 Of course. His word is golden because his coffers are as well. I understand. No matter what he's done, eh? His word over the "squatters" that were actually here before him! |
| 37088 Bah, my word don't matter, I didn't see nothin' first hand, but others did. Not even Lanka can speak true. He's kept his nose clean and missed it all. |
| 37089 Are you now? Then maybe you'll be a voice of reason. Not like anyone has cared up until now. Brush the squatters away, even if they were here before. |
| 37090 You want the whole story, you ask around. Go to your meeting with all sides known and make your mind up then. Do that, and maybe we'll get what we deserve. |
| 37091 Go on, you'll be late for your little chat. I ain't got anything else to say. |
| 37092 I shoulda headed north instead of hiding around here. You spotted me clear as day. You're too bright to be Metrich's men... are you hired swords sent to kill us off? |
| 37093 I am well worried by what has gone on in this place. Though the choice seems clear and right, I am hesitant to take it. |
| 37094 What grievance have you with the baron? I was told he has been attacked. |
| 37095 I am supposed to move you, not necessarily kill you. I will do what I must. |
| 37096 I was sent to restore order, and your death will help. All squatters will be terminated. |
| 37097 As do I. Why should I be any different than you? Oh, that's right. I'm poor, so I must be a brigand. Do you even care what has been really going on here? |
| 37098 And what, exactly, has been going on? I was told only of attacks on the baron's men. |
| 37099 No. I have my orders. |
| 37100 We will fight! We fought the baron's tyranny, and we'll fight you too! We have nothing else we can do! |
| 37101 Perhaps you speak the truth, yet I find myself loath to cast off the vows that I have made to the Order so easily. |
| 37102 Aye. This is right. I feel it in my bones. I've lived under the bitterness of my father's spirit my entire life. It has tainted me to the point where I am willing to partake in it. |
| 37103 Oh, we attacked his men when they burned our fields! Lanka won't even acknowledge it happened. She's not the woman she once was. |
| 37104 We shall take this matter before the magistrate. My father's revenge be damned! I have sworn to uphold the law, and unlike him, I shall do so. |
| 37105 Baron Metrich took over just recently. He's been trying to run us out, preferring private hunting grounds to our farms. He's taxed, burned, and raided! |
| 37106 They have always been mortal enemies. If my sister was indeed murdered, then the magistrate would have investigated. |
| 37107 My father's revenge be damned! I have sworn to uphold the law, and unlike him, I shall do so. |
| 37108 Do you understand nothing? He killed her because he could! |
| 37109 She can be avenged, Anomen. You must kill Saerk and his son. It is the only way that Moira's spirit can be at rest. |
| 37110 I'd be at the meeting now, but the baron's men have orders to kill me on sight... don't like me organizing people. I was surprised to find the Order siding with him. |
| 37111 It seems we have been given only half the story. I will discuss this at the meeting. |
| 37112 It is not my decision to make. I will side with the group I have been told to support. |
| 37113 It's not surprising. You are probably lying to protect yourself, and I will believe no more. |
| 37114 And here... I have procured a key for the place from one of his servants. Take it, Anomen. Go... go and avenge our Moira. Let justice be done. |
| 37115 Discuss it until you're blue in the face. We'll continue to fight. We will oust this pretender. Violent talk, but there is little left we can do. |
| 37116 Perhaps it is for the best. With Saerk dead, I can once again resume my shipments to Calimshan. |
| 37117 Then we shall be on opposite sides when the inevitable confrontation happens. I had hoped for more, but it is obvious we must take care of ourselves. |
| 37118 What?! W-what do you want? Just a simple farmer here, nothing to worry about. All the important people are in the meeting. Yes, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, in the meeting. |
| 37119 I am supposed to be in the meeting as well. Have anything I should bring up? |
| 37120 The meeting is about troublemaking squatters like you. Perhaps I should act now instead. |
| 37121 Then I shall go there. The Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart would not wish I miss it. |
| 37122 Seeing her face would drive me to madness, <CHARNAME>. To be in her presence right now is to abandon every virtue I've ever held sacred. |
| 37123 Sir William of Thorpe... He's a foreign noble establishing trade here in Athkatla. He was a good manâ€â€at least I always thought so until... until now. |
| 37124 Oh, <CHARNAME>, nothing is clear to me anymore... |
| 37125 Would you? Would you really? The guild house is right here in the city, but even then I never see you. It's always Radiant Heart this, Radiant Heart that! |
| 37126 You do not love me anymore? ...I... I have always loved you, and I always shall. However well I hide it, every day I spend without you is a day that's lost forever. |
| 37127 You have planted a seed in my brain, and already its roots course through every aspect of my flesh. If you will not go with me to seek out Sir William, then I shall go myself! |
| 37128 If you have need of me, I shall be seeking the solace of my Order at the guild house. |
| 37129 Forgive me. I have no choice but to leave your side for a small time. These wounds of the heart can wait no longer for love's attention. |
| 37130 I'm not comfortable wandering around in the dark. The shadows could hold anyone... anything. |
| 37131 How can I help? |
| 37132 Am I needed? |
| 37133 Please, let me help. |
| 37134 I'm ready for anything. |
| 37135 Just ask and I'll do it. |
| 37136 Where can I be of most use? |
| 37137 I will do what I can. |
| 37138 Glad to be of assistance. |
| 37139 Always willing to try. |
| 37140 I'll certainly try. |
| 37141 Of course. |
| 37142 It's almost beneath me. |
| 37143 W-why would I? You spoke to Mereno, didn't you?! What did he tell you? Lies! I never... we didn't... oh, what's the use? The baron will have me killed regardless. |
| 37144 What?! No! Damn that Moreno, I told him the baron would have our heads! We killed his other hired muscle, and now he's gone and got you to finish what they started! |
| 37145 I will not harm you without cause. I am from the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. |
| 37146 And what exactly did they start? Speak! I would know the reason behind this conflict! |
| 37147 But that is how I was in the circus when I was kept in aâ€â€a cage. It was horrible, Valygar, but Quayle came and healed me... healed my sores where... |
| 37148 He healed where my wings had come off... He taught... he taught me magic, and it freed me. It's not spells that change people. Good people do good things... |
| 37149 Golden Torso |
| 37150 Golden Torso |
| 37151 The arms and legs seem to be melded with the sarcophagus. You may not remove them while their guardian still lives. |
| 37152 Psychic Drain |
| 37153 When you touch the bones, a wave of nausea and fear washes over you. Covering your hands, you carefully place the arms and legs in your pack. |
| 37154 You push the heavy lid aside, and the foul stench of rot nearly overcomes. Strangely, nothing lies within but the gilded torso of a skeleton. Power surges, and a creature appears. |
| 37155 Well, by Aunt Petunia's beard! A ghost from my past? Looking to buy some turnips, perhaps? |
| 37156 Thanks, but no thanks. I have sought you out to have you join my party. |
| 37157 I cannot stop to chat. Another time, maybe. |
| 37158 Adventuring, eh? I don't know... I'm making close to 6 gp per week in this exciting field of black-market veggies. What would people say? |
| 37159 As you will. Remember, there's no turnips like Jansen turnips. Farewell. |
| 37160 As Uncle Scratchy used to say, "A true friend is a bald-faced liar." Let us depart then, my companion. I've an itch to pepper a few hobgoblins with crossbow bolts. |
| 37161 If it makes you happy, you can tell your friends that I've pressured you into joining. |
| 37162 I'm not going to waste my time trying to cajole you, Jan. Goodbye. |

| 37172 *gasp* Who are you? Oh, whoever you are, you must flee this place at once! He's... he's killed everyone else who has come into this placeâ€â€a-almost! Oh, please, run! |
| 37173 Who are you talking about? Who's killed everyone? |
| 37174 How can a monster such as you have such a sweet voice? |
| 37175 I'm not going anywhere until I get an explanation. |
| 37176 I'm not about to believe a foul creature such as yourself! Have at you! |
| 37177 Kalah! Oh, I don't know what he's done, exactly, or how... but everything here is an illusion! But it's magic that can hurt you, if you believe in it... |
| 37178 Oh, you probably don't understand, do you? I... I don't know what he's done to the tent or with the others who have come in, but their deaths are real! You must run! |
| 37179 Just who are you? How is it a monster has the voice of a young woman? |
| 37180 I'm not going anywhere until I get a full explanation. |
| 37181 You're likely trying to trick me, eh, beast? Well, I won't fall for it! Die! |
| 37182 Perhaps you're right, then. I should go... |
| 37183 Perhaps you're right, I should go... |
| 37184 I... I'm not a monster! I'm an elf, a winged elf... or at least I was... |
| 37185 This... this covering you see is some kind of illusion, but if you believe in it, then it becomes real! P-please believe me! Now go before something happens to you, I beg of you! |
| 37186 I've never heard of a winged elfâ€â€what are you talking about? |
| 37187 Who is behind all of this? Who has killed everyone? |
| 37188 I demand some kind of explanation before I go anywhere! |
| 37189 Perhaps you're right, then... I should go. |
| 37190 Oh, I hope you don't end up like... like the others! But, all right... m-my name is Aerie. I... work in the circus with my uncle, Quayle... |
| 37191 I don't know exactly what happened, but everything changed a few days ago... everything became chaos and turned into what you see here. Although it all isn't real; it's an illusion... |
| 37192 The minions... they all say they serve Kalah, so I know he's behind all of this... He's an illusionist in the circus, but I don't understand how he was able to do all of this! |
| 37193 He must be stopped! Before he hurts any more people! Please... if... if you release me from my chains, I can help you stop him! |
| 37194 Helping Tiris in Trademeet I spoke to Tiris, and he described he and his girlfriend, Raissa, being kidnapped by a man and a skinless creature. Tiris escaped, but he wants me to find his girlfriend. I told him I have no time for such nonsense right now. |
| 37195 Chains? I don't see any chains on you. |
| 37196 How do I release you, then? |
| 37197 Why can I not just dispel the illusions of this place? |
| 37198 Sorry, but I don't have time to help you. I had best confront this Kalah quickly... |
| 37199 I have no interest in helping you. I think it's time for me to leave. |
| 37200 No! No, you don't underst... RrrrRRAARGH! I WILL KILL YOU ALL! |
| 37201 Yes! Go, if you can! I... I don't want to see any more people hurt! |
| 37202 I... I come from a race of winged elves... although there aren't many of us left. From Faenya-Dail in the south. My wings were cut off a long time ago, though... |
| 37203 But... but that isn't important! This place is too dangerous! Go back to the city and warn everyone what is happening here! You must flee! |
| 37204 Who is behind all of this, first? |
| 37205 I need to know exactly what is happening here first! |
| 37206 I'm not about to be deviled by your silver tongue, monster! Have at you! |
| 37207 Perhaps you're right. I will go... |
| 37208 The chains are invisible... covered by the illusion. And... and they are magical... they prevent me from casting my own spells, and they maintain the illusion which is placed on me... |
| 37209 Very well, how do I release you from them? |
| 37210 Why can I not just dispel the illusions here? |
| 37211 Sorry, but if I'm to stop this Kalah, it's best if I do it on my own. |
| 37212 I have no interest in helping you. I think it's time for me to leave. |
| 37213 You... you need the key to these chains. But... but it won't look like a key! There are a couple of... commoners... in the north side of this chamber... |
| 37214 Don't be fooled by the illusion, though... they are monsters! They have a sword which is actually my key... if you get it from them, I can remove the chain and regain my normal form! |
| 37215 But please be careful! You... you can't trust anything you see here! |
| 37216 I don't know... I tried earlier, when this first happened. Kalah's spells are too powerful somehow. He's... he's never been that good, though, so I don't know what he's done... |
| 37217 If you free me, though, together we can find out and stop him! And... and hopefully rescue my uncle, Quayle... |
| 37218 But I don't see any chains on you... |
| 37219 How do I release you, then? |
| 37220 Sorry, but I don't have the time to help you. I had better confront this Kalah quickly... |
| 37221 Perhaps it is better if I just leave now... |
| 37222 All right, then... but be careful! And don't trust anything that you see! And... and please save my uncle, Quayle! Please! |
| 37223 You... you aren't going to help anyone? But... well, if you must... if that's safest... |
| 37224 If... if you're not going to flee, then maybe you can help free me from the chains that keep me bound in this formâ€â€and then maybe I can help you! |
| 37225 I will do what is just. I am from the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. |
| 37226 Perhaps. Perhaps I am here to do the job. |
| 37227 Y-you are from the Order? Then we are not forgotten? I... I was so worried! The word was that the baron had mercenaries coming, but if you are here, perhaps we will get a fair shake after all. R-right? |
| 37228 I don't see any chains... what are you referring to? |
| 37229 How do I free you, then? |
| 37230 Why can I not just dispel the illusions here? |
| 37231 I'm not about to believe your silvery words! Your death is all that is warranted! |
| 37232 I'm sorry, but I have no time to help you... I must confront this Kalah quickly! |
| 37233 Actually, I have decided to leave instead... |
| 37234 Youâ€â€you haven't found the sword? Oh, please, hurry! The peasants who have it are on the north side of the chamberâ€â€but they aren't what they seem! |
| 37235 I tire of your mewling. I am here to remove you squatters, and I should just start now. |
| 37236 Most definitely. What is your grievance here? |
| 37237 If you can justify your actions, then yes. Explain yourselves. |
| 37238 Me drinkin' buddies often talk about a magical sword hidden beneath the Copper Coronet. |
| 37239 T-then you wish to know our side as well? I had thought no one cared and we were abandoned. Perhaps there is hope after all. Isn't there? You'll be impartial, r-right? |
| 37240 I tire of your mewling. I am here to remove you squatters, and I should just start now. |
| 37241 Most definitely. What is your grievance here? |
| 37242 If you can justify your actions, then yes. Explain yourselves. |
| 37243 Ooh, then I shall be here forever! *sob*... |
| 37244 Have... have you found Quayle? |
| 37245 We have not yet, but we will continue to try. |
| 37246 No, and I have no intention of continuing the search. I am leaving. |
| 37247 Not yet... and I would appreciate your help. Please join me, and we will look together. |
| 37248 Oh, please! I couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to Quayle! |
| 37249 Yes, this is it... this is the planar sphere here in the slums. We should... climb the stairs and find some manner of entrance. ...If I am right, my blood... my presence should open the sphere. |
| 37250 I have been denied the Material Plane! I will have my revenge! |
| 37251 I am dying... and I wish to die there. Under my own sun. |
| 37252 In return... in return, I shall tell you how to return the sphere to our own plane. I... I am glad that you entered the sphere when you did. |
| 37253 I was able to keep from the force... the fact that the sphere had a defense against intrusion. It would automatically travel to another plane... |
| 37254 A trap... that would allow me to deal with the intruders... at will. But... that was another time. Bring me home, Valygar Corthala, and I will tell you how... |
| 37255 Very well. The sphere... the sphere is powered by the heart of a powerful demon. Our last trip now would have depleted the power source of the last heart the sphere had... |
| 37256 You need to go out into the plane... and acquire the heart of another demon. I... know not how, but you must... |
| 37257 Bring the heart to the engine room of the sphere and place it inside the golem there... and I will preset the controls while you are gone. |
| 37258 But go quickly, Valygar... there are things that will stir in the planes and take notice of the sphere now that it is here! Go! And I... will try to hang on long enough... |
| 37259 We have returned to our home plane, have we? Then I... then I shall complete Lavok's request. Excuse me, <CHARNAME>... I will go outside with my ancestor... |
| 37260 Is that all? Iâ€â€I'd hoped for more. |
| 37261 I can do more if you need. |
| 37262 If only I could do as much for all in need of me. I try so hard... |
| 37263 I met up with that evil presence long, long ago during my planar travels. He has possessed me ever since, trying to find its way somewhere where it could do the most harm. |
| 37264 I have had an age and more to consider my sins. If I could call it all back... if I could call back my brother and my son... my granddaughter and grandsons... I... |
| 37265 But I cannot, of course. Death will be a blessed release after my overlong and cursed life. |
| 37266 The... the sphere has been moved. I can sense this. It was... an automatic defense against intrusion that I kept hidden from the presence... |
| 37267 I knew we wouldn't get a fair shake! I knew it! Ahh! |
| 37268 He waited for one to open the door and enter. I knew that would cause the sphere to automatically travel the planes as a defense and drain the last of the power. My only hope... |
| 37269 But now that the presence is gone, you need to return to your home plane. I... I shall tell you how, in return for one thing... one small thing... |
| 37270 I have been traveling for so long... I wish to see my home one last time. When... we return to the Prime, take me outside, and let me die under the sky of the place I was born... |
| 37271 Very good. The... the sphere is powered by the heart of a powerful demon. Or... or at least it was. You must go outside of the sphere... and get another heart. |
| 37272 I know this will be difficult, but you defeated the presence... so I hope that you will have strength enough for this last task. Get a heart... and return... |
| 37273 Go to the engine room and place it in the golem that serves as the power source. I will... preset the controls... so that we shall return to the Prime... |
| 37274 But go... go quickly. I do not know how much longer I can maintain my existence... |
| 37275 Then... then you will be stuck here on this plane. As will I. I... I hope you will think about this, <PRO_RACE>, and think quickly. I have as little wish to die here as you do... |
| 37276 But you are... no longer... on your home plane. Bargain with me, stranger... and I shall tell you how to return... |
| 37277 Not on our plane? What are you talking about? |
| 37278 Very well... let me hear what you wish. |
| 37279 Nevertheless, I shall find another way. |
| 37280 So... have you decided differently? Have you seen that there is no other way home? |
| 37281 How is it that we are in some other plane? How did we get here? |
| 37282 What do you wish in return for telling us how to return, necromancer? |
| 37283 I have not given up hope yet, Lavok. |
| 37284 As... as you wish. But I would not wait much... longer... |
| 37285 You must find the heart of a demonâ€â€you must! It... it must be strong enough to power the sphere! Go, <RACE>! |
| 37286 Yes... yes! That heart will do! Go to the engine room... and place it within the golem! Go, quickly! |
| 37287 We... we are returned to our own plane. Please, please, stranger. As per our bargain, let me see my sun one last time... |
| 37288 Aye, I will do as you ask. |
| 37289 No, I do not trust you... you may yet pull some trick! |
| 37290 ...I am most grateful. If you could but carry me... My strength has all but fled... my last moments are upon me... |
| 37291 Aye, it is nothing less than I expected... I deserve nothing more, I suppose, after all my evil... |
| 37292 ...I... I wish I had... had... ah... |
| 37293 ...I... I sense within you... a kindred power. You... you are a wizard, yes? |
| 37294 Yes... I see that you are. I... I grant you the sphere, wizard. Do... do with it far... far better than I ever did. It is yours... to use wisely... |
| 37295 If you can think of another reason they fled to th' town with their chickens and nothin' else, I'd be glad t' hear it. |
| 37296 No, thanks. |
| 37297 Why not? We can't leave th' farm to rot completely... we have t' eat, aye, me <LADYLORD>? |
| 37298 Then don't be botherin' goodfolk who have nothin' else but fear to look at. |
| 37299 Are you sure? I could offer a good price for them. |
| 37300 Then I'll just hack them apart until I find what I want! |
| 37301 Very well, if you say so. |
| 37302 Er... talk to Erlin if you wish t' discuss the chickens, me <LADYLORD>. I'll have nothin' t' do with it. |
| 37303 You will do no such thing! Fie on you! |
| 37304 Aye, I do. Speak to Erlin if ye feels differently about it. |
| 37305 What can you tell me about the murders here? |
| 37306 Why do you have all these chickens? |
| 37307 How much are you asking for the chickens? I'll buy them off you. |
| 37308 I know your secret, old man... Give me the chicken, or there's going to be trouble. |
| 37309 Very well, I'll be going. |
| 37310 I can tell ye nothin'. We're just frightened and wants nothin' but to go home again. Just leave us be, me <LADYLORD>. |
| 37311 'Tis none of yer concern, me <LADYLORD>. They're nothin' but chickens for eatin', is all. |
| 37312 They are not for sale. |
| 37313 Are you sure? I can offer you a good price for them. |
| 37314 I'm only interested in one chicken, truly... a chicken that swallowed something quite valuable... |
| 37315 Never mind the ruse, old man. I know what those chickens hide! Hand it over! |
| 37316 As you wish. |
| 37317 I... you're a terrible, evil <MANWOMAN>, you are! 'Tis all I have left of my daughter! All we have in the world, dead! Dead! |
| 37318 That's too bad. Hand it over. |
| 37319 I'll pay you fairly for it... then you don't have to hide it anymore. |
| 37320 I've no wish to deprive you of anything from your daughter. Keep it if you must. |
| 37321 Go, then, and leave us be. |
| 37322 What are you implyin', stranger? I said they're not for sale. |
| 37323 I know there's something valuable in one of those chickens, and I'm willing to buy it off you, is all. |
| 37324 Give up the ruse, old man... I know your secret. Hand over the chicken! |
| 37325 Very well then, I'll be going. |
| 37326 *sigh* I s'pose it's best not t' be hangin' onto it any longer. Eventually someone will come an' take it from us. What... what can ye pay me for it, me <LADYLORD>? |
| 37327 Nothing. Hand it over, or there's going to be trouble. |
| 37328 10 gold pieces sounds like a fair price. |
| 37329 I'll give you 50 gold pieces for it. |
| 37330 100 gold pieces... more than fair, I am sure. |
| 37331 Forget it... I've changed my mind. |
| 37332 If it must be, it must be. Someone would have stolen it sooner or later. |
| 37333 No, Erlin! Don't! |
| 37334 Nay, Enna, there be no sense in causin' trouble over it. Here you go, stranger... I hope it makes you happy wi' yourself. |
| 37335 'Tis a terrible price, seein' as me daughter paid for it with her life. But if it must be, it must be. Here... an' I hope it makes ye happy with yerself. |
| 37336 Aye, you're more than fair, I suppose. Take it, then. Me wife an' I shall find some other way t' remember our daughter. |
| 37337 Aye... aye, 'tis more than fair. This will pay for a fine headstone for our daughter an' more. A better tribute than a hidden gem in a chicken. Take it, then... you've been more an' kind. |
| 37338 As ye wish, then, me <LADYLORD>. I would ask ye not t' be tellin' anyone else of it, but I s'pose ye'll do as ye wishes. |
| 37339 Wait! Wait! Please, oh, please, you are my only hope in this matter! |
| 37340 My daughter, she is gone! She was home when I left, and now she is gone! There is debris about my home, and this note was there... and there is blood! |
| 37341 My son, he is gone! He was there when I left, but now... This note was at the scene, and there is debris about my home and... and there is blood! |
| 37342 I had... left to speak with the Radiant Heart on your behalf, and when I returned I... I knew you were worth helping but... what am I to do? |
| 37343 I would see it end as well. I will rescue your child, no matter the risk. |
| 37344 I would know what he wishes with me as well! I will seek him for both our sakes! |
| 37345 What of your contact in the Radiant Heart? Am I still to be killed? |
| 37346 You click the button and hear a door open off in the distance. |
| 37347 I will find your child, rest assured. I was just being thorough. |
| 37348 My primary goals are own interests. Now I will take vengeance for us both. |
| 37349 I will find your kin, rest assured! |
| 37350 I will take vengeance for you as well, no matter where he hides! |
| 37351 Ah, the old codger's tale be true, then: "What is bred in the bone shall out in the flesh." |
| 37352 You charge ahead, of valor born, the best of your parental blood commingled here within you, their very destinies made true by your every righteous act! |
| 37353 I delight so at the sparrows twittering above, and look... there passes a prancing squirrel, all delighted by the softness of our approach! |
| 37354 That fortune... brought us no end of grief, however. My family eventually took up his pastime as well, to my sorrow. |
| 37355 I have no greater wish than to see such magic wiped from Faerûn. What's dead is dead, and that should be the end! Tampering with life goes against all reason! |
| 37356 Pretend? My dear and mourning dove, 'tis not pretending! We are all frail as birds and mad as hounds, each one of us... Aye, each one of us, but you, somehow... |
| 37357 Garh! You early! Troop need kick in arse to get ready! Firkraag be warned, though I think he not care! |
| 37358 ...and a body built for untold pleasures that I would fall for such an old ploy? Blow a little sunshine and I will fall all over myself to gain your favor? Best think again, dark one. |
| 37359 Now we make stand! Make Firkraag proud he served by Stuck-in-Craw Clan! |
| 37360 You're a dreamer, bard. I'm sure you can imagine lots of wonderful scenes... but they would not exceed the truth in intensity, depravity, or tenure, I assure you. |
| 37361 Hello again, stranger. *sigh* |
| 37362 Who are you again? |
| 37363 Still upset, eh? Why's that? |
| 37364 What can you tell me about the murders around here? |
| 37365 I'll be on my way. |
| 37366 (A voice sounds within your head.) Wizard! Your sphere is not a fitting grave. Your golem be damned, I shall escape! |
| 37367 Why have you been left alone? If you have wounded, would not the orcs just kill you? |
| 37368 Yes! The ambush worked for first time ever! Falik never believe that it would work, and now we feed! |
| 37369 But you said you were adventurers. Why have you made deals with the orcs? |
| 37370 And they let you keep your wounded around here indefinitely? |
| 37371 Khollynnus Paac |
| 37372 Yes, you do. You should follow in here. It is safe. The orcs let us be safe in there. You should come in. |
| 37373 But you said you were adventurers. Why have you made deals with the orcs? |
| 37374 And they let you keep your wounded around here indefinitely? |
| 37375 We... ah... deals? We... |
| 37376 I'm waiting... |
| 37377 I don't want to cause you further stress when you are so obviously upset. I'll follow. |
| 37378 Ah... You wait no longer! Ambush stupid when you are already in the lair! Firkraag be damned, I kill you for food! |
| 37379 Ah, yes, you see, it is a very good deal. No more talk. You just walk in to help the wounded. Yes. |
| 37380 You make deals with orcs? What kind of adventurers are you? |
| 37381 Very well. We should not keep your wounded waiting. |
| 37382 Gosh... you're an adventurer, aren't you? Hey, Dirbert... this <PRO_MANWOMAN>'s an adventurer! Wow! |
| 37383 Hmph! You don't impress me so much. So what if ye're an adventurer? |
| 37384 Hmph. I'm gettin' impatient. So are ya goin' to get us our stuff, or what? |
| 37385 You are not even worthy of the lowest sponges; they remain nature's children in their lowest of forms while you degrade yourself by choice! |
| 37386 The life of a squire, though far better than the life I lived 'neath my father, is not a place where one garners respect, no matter how deserved they are of such. |
| 37387 Take it to mean what you will. I merely say that the life of a squire, though far better than my life at home, is not a place where one gains respect, no matter how deserved. |
| 37388 Aye, it is. I've worked all my life to become a knight. I've studied the holy books, and I've taken the foot-soldier training and combat courses offered by the paladins. |
| 37389 In the position that I fill now, even with my training among the clergy, I am little more than a glorified squire. At best, they would make me a field commander during a war. |
| 37390 It is not any one thing that pushed me into knighthood. My father's cruelty and the death of my mother gave me more than enough reason to leave home. |
| 37391 You would have to meet my father to truly understand. |
| 37392 Suffice it to say, he is a cruel and overbearing man. He is also a heavy drinker, and as a child, I'd lie awake, listening to him destroy his chambers in a drunken rage. |
| 37393 How so? |
| 37394 You have met my father, <CHARNAME>... surely you have some inkling, from his manner alone if nothing else. |
| 37395 En route, we were attacked by a wyvern. Overcome with fear, the battle plans that had been drilled into my compatriots fell apart as the first man was killed by the beast's claws. |
| 37396 Shut up, dog! I've listened to your pompous lessons all my life, and it's gotten me nowhere. Self-righteous preacher! |
| 37397 Handsome? Viconia, I'm flattered. What drew me? What I do is not for whim, prank, or jape. It is not because of duty or allegiance. |
| 37398 I disagree, <CHARNAME>. You're over there, I'm over here, and Viconia is most certainly interested in what I may have to offer her. |
| 37399 And who would be foolish enough to cast blame? After all, we are all fully cognizant of this group dynamic, and are equally informed of who the true leader is here, <CHARNAME>. |
| 37400 You needn't be so impudent, child. The woman is pleasing to the eye and doth stir the loins, and I was merely complimenting upon her comeliness. |
| 37401 I take no pride in my wounds, only in the battle won. That I have the opportunity to sacrifice my body for right, that does not mean I wish to. |
| 37402 Anomen, you are a brash youth. If you learn to curb these outbursts, you shall be an excellent knight. |
| 37403 Shar is a perverse travesty, drow! Her cult is seething with evil and bitter yield. She's a coven for the morose and pathetic. |
| 37404 Ho, Haer'Dalis, your poetry ennobles me far beyond my worth. I am a simple man, and by simple decisions, I have made my way about this earth. |
| 37405 Infamous? Miss Nalia, we servants of the Radiant Heart pride ourselves on bringing a little good into this dark world. |
| 37406 My lady Nalia, understand this: Any soul of any social rank may join the Holy Orders and therein be judged by the purity of their heart, male or female. |
| 37407 Ha! There are countless books within our holy libraries where bored and dreamy scribes have penned petty blasphemies into the margins. |
| 37408 "I knew a girl from a distant world across the planar deep, and to her place to see her face across the void, I'd creep. Though time... though time..." |
| 37409 Oh dear, I hope I didn't write that one down for posterity! Heh... you should be proud of yourself, Yoshimo: You've just made an old knight blush. |
| 37410 The very gods granted us dominion here, and Ao placed the races that they might flourish and be fruitful. It is a destiny made manifest, druid. |
| 37411 Hm... I know it has not been the case in your experience, but not all magic is there to serve the darker gods or circumvent the good. |
| 37412 Cowardly creature, have some dignity in death even if you had none in life. |
| 37413 We all have a tendency to divide the pantheons, to pray to deities that are easiest to appease or have the greatest impact on us and then ignore the rest... |
| 37414 Oh, <CHARNAME>, leave our worries at the door for once... I have been watching you and... and praying for you over this past while... |
| 37415 I had thought as much. We cannot help what we are, but we can help what we become... |
| 37416 I am old, but in what time I have left to me, I shall do all in my power to maintain the sanctity of your soul... |
| 37417 I know that you bring with you a troubled past and a painful heritage, but for all the friendship that has formed between us, I cannot turn from such transgressions forever. |
| 37418 I promised I would safeguard your soul and so I shall, even now. Forgive me, <CHARNAME>, but we must each obey our destinies, no...? |
| 37419 I apologize for bothering you. I have brought some acorns from your dryad sisters. They have been trapped by an evil mage for many years. |
| 37420 I've been waiting for you. Ulene, Cania, and Elyme must have their trees replanted so that they might be free. Give the acorns to me, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 37421 There is always hope, but no one can know what is in store for you or your kin. I have been in contact with my the Order, asking them to research prophecies... |
| 37422 A Hell of countless levels and depths where damned souls wail for eternity... It is possible that, for all your goodness, your very parentage will damn you yet. |
| 37423 Maybe a handful, maybe as many as all the stars in all the skies. No doubt Bhaal would have wanted to create as many of you as possible. |
| 37424 Sisters! We've longed to see you again, loves! |
| 37425 My queen! <CHARNAME> has saved us. Can our trees be saved? Has Irenicus doomed us? |
| 37426 Nay, little sister. You are not doomed. Come, Llylla! Plant our sister's seeds that they may again taste the wind. |
| 37427 Ulene, Cania, and Elyme. Follow Llylla and she shall bring you back to the safety of the forest. Go well, and know that I shall protect you forevermore. |
| 37428 Thank you, my queen. |
| 37429 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. The forest welcomes you. There has been evil near here, and I pray for your safety as you travel. Goodbye! |
| 37430 I apologize for bothering you. I have brought some acorns from your dryad sisters. They have been trapped by an evil mage for many years. |
| 37431 Gah! No fun! Help meeeees! |
| 37432 Dig...? You torment wit funny words and projecting voice. You gonna kill, just says so. I scream now. Gaaaahh! |
| 37433 Gaaah! Run and scaredy-hide! Run! |
| 37434 This is a waste of time. Out of my way, worthless creature. |
| 37435 I know this already, fool. You have told me nothing of value. Die as you should! |
| 37436 More! I would know more of this place! Tell me what defenses Lord Jierdan has! |
| 37437 Defenses? Lord Firkraag no need defenses. You silly to think so. We hunt the feed an' guard the home, but he not need us protect him. |
| 37438 Then I will destroy the overconfident fool. He should have prepared for me. |
| 37439 Then he will not mind when I kill you all to make my point! |
| 37440 Then I shall be especially careful when I face him. He sounds sure of himself. |
| 37441 Prepare? Oh, he not need prepare. You go and fight, you will die. I go other way so I not accidentally killed too. I go now. I go fast. |
| 37442 He sure you gonna die. Me sure too. Me sure I should run other way so I not killed too by accident. He get mad, bad things happen. |
| 37443 Perhaps that peculiar urgency of yours could be put to better use passing out noonmeats to vagabonds and coins of the realm to every cutpurse, hmm? |
| 37444 Your pity and endowments only serve to perpetuate their condition and diminish their motivation to improve their lot. |
| 37445 Perhaps it's calculated ease, but your nimble wit belies something else, something unclean. I can't say I trust your balmy charm. |
| 37446 Your joviality is a clever cloak to hide agenda and ambitions... but I'll be sure to armor my back to deflect the blade you'll surely aim there. |
| 37447 The mandate of your loyal order is deception and ruse, so misery is just another disguise for your gang of holy thugs' agenda is my guess. Yes? |
| 37448 Have you any new and lewd burlesque tunes that you might regale me with, musician? |
| 37449 The skeletal torso doesn't move when you pull on it. You may not remove it until the guardian is dead. |
| 37450 When you touch the torso, a horrible feeling of weakness and despair brings you to your knees. With care, you use a cloth to place the torso in your pack. |
| 37451 The lid of the sarcophagus moves easily aside despite the dour warnings and guardian runes written on the side. Within rests a golden skull. As you reach for it, it seems to move. |
| 37452 close container |
| 37453 A chittering noise emanates from the writhing tentacles of the illithids. |
| 37454 You awaken upon a hard stone floor. What tortures the mind flayers have in store for you is unknown, but a sense of dread falls over you nevertheless. |
| 37455 It seems to me, if memory serves, that our sphere of influence was quite close to your Bloodaxe clan's stronghold near Talthalra Wern'nt Szithla Har'oloth. |
| 37456 The past is part of the future, woman, and I think, somehow, that you have scaled the barest part of your fate... but that is only my opinion. |
| 37457 You... you really wish to know? Then listen carefully. I know we have not been behaving well, and we have, in fact, k-killed a number of the baron's guards, but it has not been unprovoked! |
| 37458 Our lands were ours before he expanded his rule, and now he wishes us forced out. We are taxed and taxed, and if we do not pay, our crops are burned. |
| 37459 Yes! |
| 37460 Moreno has had us... take action, and it has been bloody. I just wish the whole situation was over with. Over and done. |
| 37461 I will see what can be done at the meeting. You have my word. |
| 37462 If you had complied with the baron, there would be no bloodshed. The conflict is your fault. |
| 37463 We shall see. I will go to the meeting and make my wishes known. |
| 37464 Ah, heck! |
| 37465 You speak well for a troll. |
| 37466 My mother tried hard to give me good learning. She sent me to live with these hobgoblins here. They smart. Trained me how to cook real good. |
| 37467 They smell bad, but they're okay. They can be mean sometimes. Chief DigDag sometimes cuts my fingers off and throws them onto the grill. Says they taste like sausages. |
| 37468 Do you like these orcs? |
| 37469 Doesn't that hurt? |
| 37470 Yep. But I'm a troll. Fingers cut off. Fingers grow back. Now quit talking and start broiling! Chief DigDag doesn't like me talking to the food. |
| 37471 We killed Chief DigDag. |
| 37472 Oh. Me sad. But fingers happy! If DigDag is dead, I free free free! Been nice cookin' you! |
| 37473 I'm not letting you cook me, you crazy troll! |
| 37474 Pleased that ye think so, dog-flogger. I had t' act on a couple occasions... out o' necessity, like when we happened upon a hive of giants. |
| 37475 Twenty or so infested the hills up at Saradush. Families o' them ravaged farms with no mercy. We heard it from a pointy-ear in the Forest of Mir, so fate called. |
| 37477 A great melee ensued. Ol' Widowmaker sent six over to the Hells that day, but Hogbelly, bless his deformed visage, got under a toppling mountain o' man. |
| 37479 So I held 'im whilst two swings from Widowmaker put him cold. Our bag of tricks, Scrooloose, closed the wounds. |
| 37480 But then he wouldn't stop groaning. I got tired of it, an' that night put me knife in his belly. |
| 37481 He stopped moaning after that. But my work weren't done yet. |
| 37482 I had to make it look like trolls or gnolls grabbed him unawares, to throw suspicion off o' me. |
| 37483 As fer that House of yers, I burned it and relieved meself on the embers and dead. And the necklace of dark-elf ears fetched me a king's ransom in Waterdeep. |
| 37484 It is too bad that you won't take Aerie with you. She should see the world. Think about it, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>... talk to her when you get the chance. |
| 37485 My poor girl is dead, I see. I hoped she would see the world with you, and not die fighting Kalah's pathetic vanity. It breaks an old gnome's heart, truly... |
| 37486 I ask that you take Aerie with you again, to see the world... but it is your affair, after all. It does my heart ill to see her cooped up here, though. |
| 37487 I'm glad to hear that you're helping poor Jan. |
| 37488 Please help my daughter! |
| 37489 This is the way, I just knows it! A southern tomb within the opened cavern. Bloody old, it be. |
| 37490 That's one fine mess that I done cleaned up. They did the killin', but I ends up with the gold, the book, and the satisfaction o' kickin' their tails. Ah. A good day. |
| 37491 Something is wrong here... |
| 37492 What in the Hells do you want in here? I don't deal with common streetwalking trash. I got clientele that makes appointments, and I ain't got time for you. |
| 37493 I just wanted to see what wares you had for sale. |
| 37494 You'll make time! You've got something that belongs to me! So says that worm Travin. |
| 37495 I thought you might want to talk to me. Travin said you have something I want. |
| 37496 I told you, that ain't the kinda goods I deal in. Get lost. |
| 37497 'Ere you, what do you want? Can't a man walk the streets at night without bein' bothered? Get off. |
| 37498 Oh, but I think you and I should talk. Is your name Travin, by chance? |
| 37499 I think you are the one that has done something to bother me. You Travin? |
| 37500 W-what of it? You... you from them Talassans? I gots what you be looking for, but only for a price. |
| 37501 Of course. Tell me what your fee is, and I'll make sure you get it. |
| 37502 Talos sends me to take what is to be his. Give it to me now or suffer! |
| 37503 I am the coming light of justice, a servant of Lathander in this matter! |
| 37504 I ain't gonna wait for payment. Now or never, that was the deal. 400 gold or no ring. |
| 37505 Fine. Here you go. Now, I will take the ring, please. |
| 37506 You will hand it over now, or I will have your head on a platter! I command it! |
| 37507 I was not told of this large price. Are you lying to me? Do you wish to anger the gods? |
| 37508 Thank you. Now, go to the red brick house with red shingles on the roof of the Copper Coronet and speak with Borinall. He will give you the ring. |
| 37509 What?! You don't have it with you?! I smell a scam! Hand it over now! |
| 37510 Very well, though if it is not there, I will find you, and I will slice you stem to stern. |
| 37511 Hey, can't blame me for trying to make a buck. Go to the red brick house on the roof of the Copper Coronet. Speak to Borinallâ€â€he's the man. I'm just the contact. |
| 37512 Wh... oh... I didn't do it! I'm just a messenger! I'll tell you where to go! There's a house with red slate shingles on the roof of the Copper Coronet. Talk to Borinall! |
| 37513 If you are lying, you will suffer the vengeance of the Morninglord! |
| 37514 Very good. Now, repent your sins in service to the less fortunate. Your soul will thank you. |
| 37515 I can only make it my faintest hope that this definition doesn't include you as well. |
| 37516 There is no place for friendship or compassion in the theater of gods, <CHARNAME>... as I am sure you are beginning to learn, if not understand. |
| 37517 Shed your wealth and harvest the fields. You no more walk in the shoes of those you pity than I would, and I pity everyone. The only shoes I wish are mine own! |
| 37518 My own thoughts, my own shoes, my own BODY! These are all that matter! |
| 37519 Save your amateurish insults for one who will be offended. Your opinion means nothing to me. |
| 37520 I... I don't have it, I swear. I'm just the contact! Talk to Borinallâ€â€he'll give it to you. Honest! |
| 37521 No need for that. I'm just a middleman trying to make a buck. Go on. |
| 37522 Y-yes, of course. I am very, very sorry. Very sorry. |
| 37523 Good. Now leave, and consider how close you have come to death. |
| 37524 Good boy. Now die as Talos rips his due from your soul! |
| 37525 Good little man. Now die as Lathander wreaks his vengeance on your soul! |
| 37526 Our time together has been vile! When next we meet, it will not be under the guise of friendship! |
| 37527 What? I've done as you asked! Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have gotten in the middle of a deal with Talassans! You'll not have me! |
| 37528 What? But I did as you... Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have taken a job stealing from a church! Too dangerous by far! You'll not take me! |
| 37529 Good, now return my gold and reflect on how close you have come to death! |
| 37530 Good boy. Now die as Talos rips his due from your soul! |
| 37531 Good little man. Now die as Lathander wreaks his vengeance on your soul! |
| 37532 No way, it's mine fair and square. Damn, I knew I shouldn't have ripped off a church. Fanatics are dangerous! I'm gettin' out of here! |
| 37533 If that's what you wish to do, my raven, I'll not be one to cause dissent. This sparrow can find other diversions to please his eye. |
| 37534 If you have the need of me again, you'll find me at the Five Flagons inn, where the playhouse once was... or not, as the whim takes me. Farewell, my wandering raven! |
| 37535 Treat our kinship as if it never was... for we'll not see one another again. This sparrow flies... farewell or not, I do not care. |
| 37536 Aye, I expected this... and verily I am half glad that the time has come for our parting, my sour raven. I tire of your antics and would be done with them. |
| 37537 I've witnessed enough of your crass behavior, my raven, and my interest has waned. Another day, perhaps! |
| 37538 I've things to do on my own, truly enough... if you fancy to speak to me again, I might be in the Five Flagons Inn. Or not, as the muse takes me. |
| 37539 I see my wandering raven has come to light once again on the sparrow's perch! A greeting to you, <CHARNAME>. Have you business with this Doomguard-born? |
| 37540 I would like you to join us again, Haer'Dalis. |
| 37541 I'm sorry for what happened before... will you join me again, Haer'Dalis? |
| 37542 No, just saying hello. |
| 37543 I need your help, Haer'Dalis. |
| 37544 Aye... the raven and the sparrow together! It will be good to voyage with you, <CHARNAME>! |
| 37545 Aye, but 'tis always such. Nay, I have other things more pleasant than traveling with one such as you. Find another, my raven. |
| 37546 Mmmm... very well, <CHARNAME>. Let it not be said that this actor has no heart. I can forgive... and besides, it is exciting to voyage with you. Let us go, then, my raven! |
| 37547 Aye, and greetings to you too. I have business to attend to, however... and I suspect so do you. 'Til we meet again, my raven. |
| 37548 I paid Travin 400 gold to find you, so you damn well better talk to me. |
| 37549 Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you, but you've been ripped off. He's just an errand boy, and you paid him gold he wasn't due. My fee is derived directly from the church, not some back-alley hand-off. |
| 37550 So... the rescuers of our beloved Haer'Dalis have come to us at last. Haer'Dalis has preceded you and spoken of you well. Here is a reward for his return. |
| 37551 Now... do you have the gem he spoke of, child? The portal gem that Mekrath had in his keeping? |
| 37552 No, I don't... but I intend on getting it. |
| 37553 Perhaps... how much is the stone worth to you? |
| 37554 I do. Here you go. |
| 37555 Then his soul is surely to be doomed for cheating a servant of the church. |
| 37556 I shall rend him limb from limb! He will not even live to regret cheating me! |
| 37557 Curse me for a fool. I was told of no fee, so I should not have paid it. |
| 37558 Yes, well, regrets to be dealt with another day. You say you have come to take delivery of something? |
| 37559 That would be the Dawn Ring, would it not? I shall be glad to be rid of it. I have felt the eyes of the celestial upon me each and every minute I have had it. Just one more simple test before you go. |
| 37560 I do not have time for games! |
| 37561 What is your request? |
| 37562 Can we dispense with this? I am expected back. |
| 37563 This will only be but a moment. I must be sure I am giving it to the proper person; when dealing with Talassans, a mistake would be the death of me. It is a simple matter, really. Swear your devotion to Talos. |
| 37564 What game is this? Why would you ask me this? |
| 37565 And what would you gain by my refusal? |
| 37566 Why do you ask such a thing? |
| 37567 It is a simple matter, really. I am to deliver this to a servant of Talos. If you are said servant, you will not balk at declaring your allegiance; you would most likely revel in it. |
| 37568 You have returned, my brilliant hound. Have you brought the gem with you? |
| 37569 But if you are NOT a follower of Talos, you will not swear to him even in jest. To do so would be to deny your own faith, or even worse, to bring the attention of Talos upon you. |
| 37570 We... we still do not have it, Miss Raelis, try though I might to convince my raven of its import. I shall endeavor to speed the process, if you will it. |
| 37571 Teos |
| 37572 Teos |
| 37573 Robe of the Apprenti |
| 37574 Dagger of <CHARNAME> |
| 37575 So I ask you. Are you currently in service to Talos? Are you loyal to him and him alone? And may he strike you down if you are lying. |
| 37576 I assure you that I am a servant of Talos in this matter. May he strike me down if I am lying. |
| 37577 I assure you that I am a servant of Talos in this matter. May he strike me down if I am lying. |
| 37578 I cannot speak the words you wish to hear. |
| 37579 Feel the avenging wrath of a servant of the Morninglord! This charade stops here! |
| 37580 Very well. You have satisfied me. Here is your ring, and good riddance to it. I've felt watched ever since I received it. Good day to you. |
| 37581 Then you will not have the item. Leave me. |
| 37582 I beg of you, give me the item anyway. I must return it. |
| 37583 No! The item will be returned! You will give it or suffer my wrath! |
| 37584 I am not unprotected! If you wish a fight, you will have one! To my side! |
| 37585 In a word, no. You are not who I was to meet, and now you know my crime. You will not leave here. Our business is finished. Permanently! |
| 37586 HA! I wonder why that happened. Divine wrath is usually subtle: a little bad luck here, a curse or two there. But Talos, he's a god that means business. |
| 37587 I am afraid I must add injury to insult. You are obviously not who you claim to be, and I cannot let you leave and return strengthened. You will not leave here. You cannot. |
| 37588 Thank you for helping me. |
| 37589 I'll believe it when I see it. The baron has his gold, so his word carries all the weight. Good on you if you do help us, but I'm not holding my breath. |
| 37590 So we will get no satisfaction out of you, I see. I thought as much, really. We cannot match the baron's gold, so we are second class to him and whatever he wishes. Go on, do what you must. |
| 37591 Who are you? Who dares interrupt our meeting? This is a private discussion for the lord of this land and his advisers. |
| 37592 I am only Lanka's assistant. If you wish something, best you speak to her or the baron directly. |
| 37593 I ain't here to talk. Keeping my blade at the ready in case you tries somethin'. |
| 37594 Calm yourself, Lanka. They are the dedicated knights of the Radiant Heart, and they... er... you look a bit less "ornamented" than I had pictured. |
| 37595 The Order has sent me in response to your call. I am to assist in this matter. |
| 37596 Despite your notions of how I should look, I am from the Order. |
| 37597 Good, good, good, I thank you for coming. Now I can have my lands cleared with authority, since OTHERS in my employ are not capable of the task. |
| 37598 I done said it weren't our faultâ€â€it's them attacks by the farmers what slowed... |
| 37599 Try not to speak unless spoken to, young man. You are now expendable. Now that the Order is involved, I am sure these pesky squatters will leave quickly. |
| 37600 As you would have it, Baron Metrich. Tell me what has been your trouble. |
| 37601 I will do what is right once I have heard the circumstances. |
| 37602 You will not dictate to me. I will determine the proper action. |
| 37603 Yes, it is a simple matter now that you are here. I require some squatters removed from my lands. They will respect the word of the Order and go. |
| 37604 My own people have received nothing but scorn, and recently they have even been attacked. It has been a difficult time, and I would like this matter closed. |
| 37605 Then these people have simply shown up and taken portions of your land? |
| 37606 The Order was insistent that I support you, and that is what I intend to do, whatever the details. |
| 37607 I have a small problem. One of the farmers claimed the land was theirs, not yours. |
| 37608 More than one source told me that you are trying to take land that is rightfully theirs. |
| 37609 Why quibble about who came first? I am here now, and I carry some weight in business circles within Athkatla. The Order is always looking for patrons, are they not? |
| 37610 You would not wish to disappoint a potential friend of the Order, would you? These louts have assaulted my men. Deal with them in the proper fashion. |
| 37611 I should really speak with someone from their side to get a balanced idea of the situation. |
| 37612 Then I will do what you will, and no questions asked. I will move these squatters. |
| 37613 Then speak with Lanka. She was a member of the "community" they built and has served as my voice to them. Once I made my position clear, she was very cooperative. |
| 37614 Ahh, but you have proven reasonable yourself in responding to my concerns. I am content to aid you in this. |
| 37615 I can verify much of what the baron says, and I would concur in his recommendation that the settlement be ousted off his lands, such that they might be returned to their natural splendor. |
| 37616 So you agree with him? Then I see no need for further inquiries. I will oust these squatters. |
| 37617 Perhaps it would be better if I spoke with someone a little less biased. |
| 37618 I assure you, I have the best interests of the land at heart. I am thinking of the larger picture. |
| 37619 You have spoken with everyone that you need to. I would have you state your intent with no more delays! |
| 37620 I will oust these squatters from your land. It's the best choice for all concerned. |
| 37621 Greater Mummy |
| 37622 I will not aid you. Despite their attacks, these people may have a legitimate claim here. |
| 37623 Then I shall tell the Order you failed me. My men have been attacked, and you do nothing! I asked you to come here and act. |
| 37624 I will have my men continue without your aid. Your authority could have made the expulsion more diplomatic, but my men will do what they must. Leave here! |
| 37625 I'm sure that, as we speak, the nobles argue over the relative benefits of white and red Evermeet wine, merely 1,000 gold pieces per glass. |
| 37627 Only birth and death are destiny; all else is choice and consequence... Come, the sun is setting, and it casts long shadows on our thoughts. |
| 37628 As well, I would suggest you treat the party with civility lest someone arrange for such an occurrence to happen. Perhaps nearer the zoo. |
| 37629 To disarm it, you need to pull the wood back just enough to slip a dagger between the plate and the springs. It requires finesse and patience, my young one. |
| 37630 You are right, bard, I am twice rewarded: Once because I am richer in <CHARNAME>'s care, and twice because I am richer here than rotting in some prison of the damned. |
| 37631 She's been fun, I must say. If ye want to hook up again, I'll most likely be tending my turnips in the slums. Look for the tower. You can't miss it. |
| 37632 So be it! You're a tactless bunch of idiots anyway! I've more important things to do. Excuse me. |
| 37633 No, I will deal with you no more. You have made your intentions known. Go, report to your supervisors. I'm sure they will be "delighted" about your stand. |
| 37634 Of course you will. Since you have declared it here, the farmers will not oppose a member of the Order as they have opposed me. |
| 37635 Lanka? Have they assembled outside? I was told they might. |
| 37636 It would appear so, though they are more armed for battle than debate. |
| 37637 There will be neither now that the Order has stated its position. Go, knight, and tell them to get off my land. |
| 37638 Your help has been appreciated, but I no longer have cause to speak with you. Lanka and I must set about building my regulated hunting range. |
| 37639 It is better than the slow death to wilderness that cultivating the soil brings. My former brethren will not think so, but that is their loss. |
| 37640 Stop your feeding, my spiders! New victims await! Protect your home! |
| 37641 But why do we need to continue this discussion? You have already begun cleansing the area. One dead? Two? No matter. It will put fear into them. |
| 37642 Regardless, you have earned my gratitude. With this simple, brutal act you have solved my problem. Go now, and tell your masters that I am pleased. |
| 37643 It was a regrettable thing, but I had a duty to fulfill. |
| 37644 I had little choice in the matter, though I will take pleasure in a job well done. |
| 37645 I expected more diplomacy from a member of the Order, though the result is to my liking. It is better the baron have his wild lands, rather than the farmers slowly bleeding the soil to death. |
| 37646 Do not quibble over details. All is well. |
| 37647 Your simpleminded brutality was just what we needed here. The farmers will be gone in short order. All is well. |
| 37648 Very few wanted to come and see what happened at the meeting. You need not tell us your decision; I can tell from the looks we received through the windows. It would seem the Order has no help to offer us. |
| 37649 Moreno... no. Would you have us fight against the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart? Metrich's men are one thing, but knights of the Order? No. |
| 37650 It is over, Moreno, just as the baron hoped it would be. We cannot fight such a group as the Order. The word of law has been passed here, and we are on the losing side. |
| 37651 You are successful, <CHARNAME>, but not right. You have won, but I don't know how you can bear the cost. |
| 37652 We'll fight you! Here and now if we have to! |
| 37653 But we can win! We... |
| 37654 Who have you spoken to? Moreno? Pardo? Hooligans! Mere bandits! They have attacked my men and harassed me! |
| 37655 Then I will add my voice to yours and have them ousted. All the squatters will be gone. |
| 37656 They make claim that they were here first and that you have been burning their crops. |
| 37657 Lanka? Is this true? |
| 37658 I... I don't know. Metrich, is what <PRO_HESHE> says true? Have you been attacking their homes? This was to be as peaceful as possible. |
| 37659 What would be your concern? Your hands are far from clean in this matter, my dear. Your precious animals and environment have made you a turncoat. |
| 37660 The state of the land is important, but I did not agree to this. |
| 37661 My... my father was injured in one of those fires. You did this? He did this?! |
| 37662 This is not open for discussion! What matters is the land I want and the people that must get off it! |
| 37663 And I will help you, despite what I have learned. It is my duty. |
| 37664 I think this is a matter of you trying to pirate this land away from its rightful owners. |
| 37665 You are not here to think! Leave the thinking to your betters! |
| 37666 I begin to think you are not such a good steward for the lands after all. |
| 37667 Are all of you imbeciles thinking now?! Who asked what you think?! I've bought and sold better than you at market! No, this will go no further! |
| 37668 I tried to play the caring figurehead, but you just kept pushing! Fine! We'll do it the old-fashioned way! I claim this land because I'm bloody rich and you're not! |
| 37669 Now just calm down, and we'll straighten this all out. |
| 37670 You will not threaten anyone else in my presence! |
| 37671 You will respect my authority! |
| 37672 Well, the side you have chosen to support is now quite obvious, I think. I would have preferred a peaceful solution, but if this is the way it must be, I do appreciate being on the winning side. |
| 37673 What Brunson is trying to say is, thanks for killing that son of a bi... |
| 37674 Ah, what Moreno is trying to say is, thank you for ending this. |
| 37675 Regardless, this matter is resolved. We will try to bring our lives back to some semblance of normality. We will also try to resolve what guilt we feel for what we did during this incident. |
| 37676 I had hoped to bring a peaceful end to this matter. Make sure some good comes of this. |
| 37677 Neither side was without fault, though the baron was the source of much of this. |
| 37678 This whole incident has not filled me with respect for human nature. |
| 37679 I'm sure everything will be fine. Thank you. |
| 37680 True, though we let ourselves sink to his level. Everything will be fine in time. Thank you again. |
| 37681 I understand, though there will be room for healing now. Everything will be fine in time, I am sure. |
| 37682 You have returned, though not quite as I expected. I must say that your visit to the Metrich barony has yielded some surprising results. |
| 37683 I have received word that your refusal to help the baron forced him to send his own men against the squatters on the disputed land. The result was a slaughter. |
| 37684 You helped the baron rid his land of the supposed squatters, but word comes that they appeared to be nothing more than farmers. The baron may have been untrue. |
| 37685 You helped the baron rid his land of the squatters, but I hear they appeared to be naught but farmers and the baron had been harassing them for some time. |
| 37686 I am told you killed the squatters in cold blood. I am certain there could have been a bloodless way to end this, if indeed they had to be moved at all. |
| 37687 The baron is dead, and it will shock the business community of Athkatla. We must ready to defend against the scrutiny to come. Did you have cause to kill him? |
| 37688 Greater Mummy |
| 37689 I did not find evidence of such atrocity while I was there. I just didn't trust him. |
| 37690 The dog! I should have killed him there and then! I did not trust him. |
| 37691 This has been an embarrassing failure, and you have been found lacking. Your role was peacemaker, and instead you left the problem for others to deal with. |
| 37692 Perhaps if you had spoken to the squatters, the ones the baron said attacked, we might have found signs of the carnage to come. It could have been prevented. |
| 37693 It is resolved, but it does not sit well. I have worries about continuing your service, but as it happens, we are in desperate need of a paladin immediately. |
| 37694 What's done is done; the squatters have dropped their claims and dispersed. You fulfilled your original mission, though there may have been more at stake. |
| 37695 The matter should be closely studied, but we've no time. We need an able paladin and cannot spare you to investigate things that cannot be changed. |
| 37696 There was evidence of that, but my duty was to the task I was sent to achieve. |
| 37697 Aiding the baron was better for the Order. It was a peaceful solution as well. |
| 37698 I... knew of no such evidence. The squatters were quite clearly belligerent. |
| 37699 Word has come to me that all involved in this matter, from the baron to the squatters, have been killed! Was this your intent? Is this how you restore order? |
| 37700 It was true to the original mission, but events should have changed your focus. We champion goodness beyond the letter of the law. We must also be flexible. |
| 37701 We had no business supporting the baron if he was in the wrong. His patronage is valuable, but not as much as the faith we lost from those that were wronged. |
| 37702 The farmers have apparently gone separate ways, so making amends would prove difficult. Regardless, our relationship with the baron will be discontinued. |
| 37703 You knew of no such evidence? <CHARNAME>, you have just turned an unfortunate mistake into a fundamental wrong! I see through your falsehood! |
| 37704 You supported the baron despite the accusations against him, and now you have demonstrated complicity with his evil by lying to me! This I cannot ignore. |
| 37705 You are hereby removed from the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. You are a paladin without a patron, relieved of any service we might have required. |
| 37706 You are disgraced in the eyes of the Order. Do not return to my sight. |
| 37707 It would seem they were merely farmers, and that they thought themselves defending their claim to lands that the baron was trying to steal. |
| 37708 You were to restore order, not assist a despot in killing farmers. No, you have not demonstrated an understanding of what proper conduct for a paladin should be. |
| 37709 There was evidence of that, but my duty was to the task I was sent to achieve. |
| 37710 I... knew of no such evidence. The squatters were quite clearly belligerent. |
| 37711 Word has come to me that the baron is a highly suspect character, and perhaps our assisting him was in the wrong. Doubly so now that it ended in such a way. |
| 37712 I did. His claim was a lie. The "squatters" were farmers on land he wished to steal. |
| 37713 He deserved no less. He went berserk after I revealed his theft of the land. |
| 37714 Then we will stand by you. If what you say is true, and I am confident that it is, then we have done a service to the land despite the confusion it will bring. |
| 37715 You will have no time to experience any unrest, however, as we have a vital mission for you that must take precedence over all else. |
| 37716 None were innocent. I purged them all that their taint would be removed. |
| 37717 It was unavoidable. Unfortunate, but unavoidable. |
| 37718 You were to restore order, not kill everyone without question. No, you have not shown an understanding of what proper conduct for the Order should be. |
| 37719 We have received word of a great atrocity, one that must not be completed. There has been... murder is too weak a word. An entire family has been decimated. |
| 37720 The Athkatla Morningales have been a model of decency in this city, and their work in opposing the slave trade has earned them renown across the land. |
| 37721 It also earned them many enemies. This past tenday has seen the family murdered in their homes, almost to the last. It would seem they were made examples of. |
| 37722 Such a crime is unforgivable! I will lead an army down the throats of those responsible! |
| 37723 What is it you wish from me? Am I to deliver retribution? |
| 37724 The time for justice will come, but what is important now is that someone survived, praise Helm. Tyriannaâ€â€she hid in a cellar while all others were executed. |
| 37725 She must be protected until escorted from the city. Her survival will be a symbol to persevere in the fight against slavery, despite the ferocity of the enemy. |
| 37726 She will not come to harm while in my care. |
| 37727 I would rather deal with these curs directly in a language they understand. |
| 37728 I am certain she will not. It would be a tragedy if she did, one that we would be hard-pressed to explain, so you will take great care in her well-being. |
| 37729 You will get your chance, but you will do it with her safety in mind. Her loss would be a great tragedy, one that we would be hard-pressed to explain. |
| 37730 You will go to a safe house we have set up, and you will make sure she remains secure. It is as secret as we could make it, though nothing is ever absolute. |
| 37731 In the morning, her godparent will arrive. He is from Baldur's Gate and will accept no other guards besides his own. You will see that she reaches his care. |
| 37732 She will have nothing to worry about. |
| 37733 I will guard her and kill any that dare to pose a threat. |
| 37734 When she is *safe* with her godparent, you will have succeeded. Go to the building beside the temple in the docks and await him. She should be safe in his care. |
| 37735 You must see that Tyrianna Morningale is delivered to her godparent. Hurgis Baltezan will arrive tomorrow. The safe house is beside the temple in the docks. |
| 37736 Please... now that you have half of the device, you must go at once and destroy the creature before he kills us all! |
| 37737 I have already retrieved the rod from below, in fact. |
| 37738 It... it is true, I can sense it! Oh, by the mercy of the gods... you must use the artifact to destroy the beholder! You must! |
| 37739 How do I do that? |
| 37740 I have no intention of doing anything of the sort. |
| 37741 You... must retrieve the second half of the rod. It was split apart long ago by the gods... in order to keep the world safe from its power. |
| 37742 I will tell you how to gain the second half... if you agree to use it to destroy the beholder. The device cannot be taken from here lest its curse strike you down. |
| 37743 I agree. I will use the device to kill the beholder, if you will tell me where the other half is. |
| 37744 Pfah! I do not need your help. I will do as I will. |
| 37745 You... you have killed the creature who has enslaved so many. Of that, I am thankful. But... I see you still hold the rod... the Rift Device... yet unused. |
| 37746 Be warned, my <LADYLORD>... the device cannot be taken above the ground. My findings here have taught me that. It will surely destroy you if you do... |
| 37747 Far better if you returned it whence you came, my friend. Do not toy with the power of the gods... |
| 37748 You have destroyed the creature who has enslaved so many, and for that, I am more grateful than I can say. |
| 37749 I sense you have the Rift Device... the rod. You have used it? I must caution you not to take it to the lands above... its power would consume you. |
| 37750 Far better that you return it whence it came, for the safety of us all, my <LADYLORD>... |
| 37751 You have freed our brother! For that, I would lay roses at thy feet, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! But... there is still the matter of the... ah... gem, is there not? |
| 37752 I thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... you have done much for us all. |
| 37753 You have saved my Rodrigo! My thanks to you and all your ancestors, little <PRO_RACE>! Truly it is a glorious day! |
| 37754 There is naught we could do to repay you for all you have done for this troupe, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Truly, thou'rt a wonder. |
| 37755 Our poor sparrow lies broken. All is darkness now for us all... regardless of what occurs... |
| 37756 Ahhh... our brother is dead. Poor Haer'Dalis, truly he had little in the way of luck. Leave us be, prime... we must mourn for our fallen comrade... |
| 37757 He... he's free, is he? That's good... Raelis says I still have a long time before I am ready to be a full actor. But I don't mind... it's my dream, and I'll work hard! |
| 37758 Raelis has asked me to come along and join the troupe! Imagine that... me, a prime, traveling the planes! And acting! Truly acting! |
| 37759 Haer'Dalis is dead... that means... that means I have to continue acting. Ooooh, I feel ill... |
| 37760 If you want to know more, you might speak to an actual tanner. There's one not far from here... in the houses to the south. Rejiek, if I remember his name. |
| 37761 There's a tanner, Rejiek Hidesman, who has his shop near here... he might have some tannin; I'm not sure. Might be worth it to ask him. |
| 37762 Ya got rid of that old witch, huh? That's good. No more icky cookies from her, no <SIRMAAM>. |
| 37763 Halt! This place is under the protection of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. You will leave immediately or suffer the consequences! |
| 37764 I am here with <CHARNAME>. I am to help protect the girl. |
| 37765 Out of my way, I've business here and you have no right to stop me. |
| 37766 Yes, yes, very scary. Now stand aside and let me commence my duties. |
| 37767 Your excuses are much easier said than verified! I will relinquish my post to <CHARNAME> and <CHARNAME> alone! |
| 37768 Halt! You will go no further while I am... Oh, forgive my outburst, <CHARNAME>. I was told you were coming to relieve me, but I have been getting rather edgy. It has been a long day. |
| 37769 I would imagine so, what with the threat that an attack could come at any time. |
| 37770 Then consider yourself relieved. I am sure I will bear the long hours well. |
| 37771 Has the threat of attack been that constant? |
| 37772 I have planned this for too long only to have my plans shattered by some inbred northern adventurers! I... I just wanted to be respected... |
| 37773 Good. I believe I left him in the north storeroom, counting rice or some nonsense. Go and claim him; he is yours. Do whatever you wish with him, I care not. |
| 37774 Go and claim your little thief, then. I left him in the north storeroom, counting rice. Warn him not to bother me again, or I shall be much harsher. |
| 37775 I solved the Bridge District murders. Tanner Rejiek did it, and killed the inspector too. Here is the body. |
| 37776 I solved the Bridge District murders. Tanner Rejiek did it, and killed the inspector too. |
| 37777 This... this is Aegisfield, all right. *sigh* It is too bad... he was a fine and just man. Here... give his body to me. |
| 37778 Your story seems odd... but I can tell if someone's lying. I will check your story... but for now you have the city's thanks for the service you have done us. |
| 37779 We'll hunt down the murderer, have no fear. He'll not escape justice. I thank you, citizens, for your help. I trust this reward will be ample compensation. |
| 37780 It is good the tanner is dead... though I would have liked to speak to him first. No matter. I trust this reward will compensate you... thank you again, citizens. |
| 37781 I solved the Bridge District murders. Tanner Rejiek did it, and killed the inspector too. Here is the body. |
| 37782 I solved the Bridge District murders. Tanner Rejiek did it, and killed the inspector too. |
| 37783 I have solved the murders that were occurring in the Bridge District... but the murderer killed Inspector Aegisfield. I have his body with me here. |
| 37784 I have solved the murders that were occurring in the Bridge District... but the murderer killed Inspector Aegisfield. |
| 37785 Oh... by the gods, that IS the inspector! Quickly, my good <PRO_LADYLORD>, bring the body to Chief Inspector Brega immediately! |
| 37786 Oh... oh, my. I think you should speak to Chief Inspector Brega, however... he is here in this building, and I think he should know of this immediately! |
| 37787 I have solved the murders that were occurring in the Bridge District... but the murderer killed Inspector Aegisfield. I have his body with me here. |
| 37788 I have solved the murders that were occurring in the Bridge District... but the murderer killed Inspector Aegisfield. |
| 37789 Damn and done, this crypt looks to be well looted already! The rank, stinking bastards beat us here! Those scoundrels'll dine on me sup of cold steel afore I'm through with 'em! |
| 37790 But with all things there are two sides. Oppose injustice, but do so wisely. Some rich may act as they do because in their lives they are told or even forced. |
| 37791 Nalia... no offense, but you are not poor; your children will not starve. You empathize, but you may be blinded by the romance of saving the impoverished. |
| 37792 Comely lasses of the village were taken for his personal harem, and he taxed heavily to pay for his pleasures. His guards kept order under threat of death. |
| 37794 Kalos himself killed the baron, and holding Dana, his rage passed. Then he saw the richness of the manor, and thought of how unfairly and poorly he had lived. |
| 37795 He took the golden chain of rank, placed it on his own head, and sent his young men out to collect his taxes, for was not he now the baron? |
| 37797 You have been warned, Edwin. Do not think to test my resolve; I will act for the best of the group. |
| 37798 Perhaps your smarm impresses the brazen strumpets at the Coronet, but you have to do better than that with this girl, beardy. |
| 37799 Relax, I think I have found the key to release you. |
| 37800 Well, I think I have opened your cage, and there aren't any traps present. |
| 37801 Look, an imaginary griffon beats an old nag any day, and... a friend like you beats any halfwit squire who would stoop so low as to help a halfling on her horse... You see? |
| 37802 Then we shall be quick to find him. Your cage is unbarred; let's go. |
| 37803 Then I will unlock your cage quickly. I think I found the key. |
| 37804 Surely such a thing would not be allowed if I were following the wrong path? This shall be my rebirth... after I rest for a bit. |
| 37805 By Arvoreen, I swear that you shall go no further. Stand and fight, if you have the courage. |
| 37806 I am merely taking a new path, one that is better suited to my needs. |
| 37807 Forgive my ill-timed jesting. Your cage is open. You appear to be free. |
| 37808 Forgive my ill-timed jesting. I think I have the key to your cell. I will open it quickly. |
| 37809 Ha! You do not frighten me, tiny pretend-paladin. I've had taller footstools and am little concerned with whatever brawn your diminutive form could muster. |
| 37810 I will decide what course is best. I have already seen to your cage. |
| 37811 I will decide what course is best. First, I shall see to your cage. I think I have the key. |
| 37812 How can someone who's so clever be so shortsighted? |
| 37813 Certainly. I have already seen to your cage. It is open, and you are free. |
| 37814 Certainly. I believe I have the key for your bars. |
| 37815 Ahh, he likes it. Cheer up, I've already seen to opening your cage. |
| 37816 Ahh, he likes it. Cheer up, I believe I have the key to your cell. |
| 37817 Forgive my manner; you are right, of course. I have opened your cage. What now? |
| 37818 Forgive my manner; you are right, of course. I have the key for your cell. What now? |
| 37819 Let us just say that he is less than pleased by the loudness of your voice and the fact that you are currently standing on his cache of nuts. |
| 37820 Shar and her ilk revere entropy, revenge, and darkness. Viconia, you and I will never see eye-to-eye, and that covenant should be respected and maintained. |
| 37821 And to answer your question, yes... we do care. |
| 37822 But what you call barbarism is, in truth, a harmony. Man with beast and with plant and with the earth that bears them all. There need be no discrepancy. |
| 37823 Take a bird in the hand, leave two in the bush, and keep none in the home. Balance, and everything in its proper place. |
| 37824 Convenience is a trait of the city, wherein people forget how to fend for themselves. Wild nature is a hard mistress, but all the sweeter is her fruit. |
| 37825 This means more land that can be ravaged by winds and lose topsoil in the long term. Meanwhile, there are fewer animals in the smaller forest. |
| 37826 Many would still starve in the wood though surrounded by food. We must tell of the wonder, but also of what she requires. |
| 37827 Urrr... you... you <PRO_RACE> no attack? |
| 37828 We... we go now. We no work for fat human. Gurgh be sick... me go get him better now. |
| 37829 Greetings to you, my <LADYLORD>. I am afraid that I am waiting for another at the moment... perhaps some other time? |
| 37830 Wand of Apprenti |
| 37831 (A voice sounds within your head.) Mortals come to feed my hunger. Your deaths await you. |
| 37832 Because of you, we have lost the greatest social coup this city has yet seen! Sir Sarles is gone before we could show him off! Get out of here! |
| 37833 You worthless toads. You have ruined the reputation of my hospitality. Sir Sarles will most likely carry word of his treatment here for months, and my name will bear the social stigma of it. |
| 37834 You have my apologies. I tried to please him, but to no avail. |
| 37835 I take no responsibility for his unreasonable nature. |
| 37836 Social smegma might be more appropriate in the case of Sir Sarles. What a grouch. |
| 37837 Get out, you filthy-mouthed peasant! I'll not have you here! |
| 37838 His artistic and gifted nature, fool! Bah, what could a malcontent like you understand about his genius? Get out of my sight. |
| 37839 And I curse you for trying! How could gutter trash such as yourself hope to please a man of his caliber? Get out, and leave me be! |
| 37840 Here... I'll mark the location on your map. We should head there immediately. Be careful not to be spotted. I hope everything is all right! |
| 37841 Well... I've been thinking, and I'm pretty sure they would have left someone alive. Daleson... he would be tending the stable. You should try to reach him. |
| 37842 Then I wish you luck finding it. I will go on my own. |
| 37843 I would rather have us work together. We know not how powerful our foe shall be, and your sword would be welcome. |
| 37844 We heard you killin' our brethren outside! Damn your filthy blades for cuttin' that fool down! I'll do you right for that! |
| 37845 Not me, Camitis. Our deal is blown! I'm heading for the hills! |
| 37846 I will take the cells and revive the other servants. Have peace at last. |
| 37847 I don't need these cells or crystals to escape this place. I will not help you. |
| 37848 I thank thee. Go and leave me to oblivion at last. Sweet sleep... |
| 37849 You are heartless. I again feel hate. |
| 37850 He's... he's dead now? This pathetic creature... |
| 37851 I can't look away, <CHARNAME>. I have seen death in our scuffles before, but here I did nothing but watch his life end... |
| 37852 I can't look away. |
| 37853 Yet another corpse in my wake. Nothing odd about that. Let's go. |
| 37854 Death is not always to be feared, I guess. I would not wish to live like that. |
| 37855 We've no more time for your morbid fascinations. Let's get moving. |
| 37856 Death is... pretty. Why would I think that? Oh, <CHARNAME>, I've got to get out of this place. |
| 37857 This poor creature wishes to die? Right here? We should... |
| 37858 We should help... we should... we should see what happens now! |
| 37859 What are you doin' here, you drunken lout?! I thought you were well enough banned from this place! |
| 37860 Aye, then. 'Tis as if you knew me not. Yon gem still needs delivering, so it looks like I shall deliver it myself. |
| 37861 Off with you then. If you wish to find my prize, you had best hurry. |
| 37862 Aye, then, I shall go. But the gem I mentioned still needs taking from Mekrath's lair. I shall await your arrival at the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons Inn... bring the gem there, I beg of you! |
| 37863 Since Hendak has promised us a discount, I'd like to see what you have on tap here. |
| 37864 You have sullied your honor and that of your church. Get out! |
| 37865 You have shamed us all. You shall not again feel the smile of the Morninglord. Get out! |
| 37866 Weak-willed fool! Get out of my sightâ€â€lest I bring the fury of the Stormlord down upon you! |
| 37867 I... I have done as you advised. She... they are dead. It was... satisfying. Thank you, I owe you... so much. Perhaps I shall repay you... some night. |
| 37868 I have heard of your activities. Your disservice to the faithful means I must tell you that any task we may have asked of you is now null and void. |
| 37869 Your service is no longer required. Leave the house of the Morninglord. |
| 37870 Your service is no longer required here. Such as you are not worthy of serving in the name of Helm. All church tasks you have been involved in are considered finished. |
| 37871 Leave, and make no claim to be in our graces. You are not of us anymore. |
| 37872 Sickening little worm, you have no business here any longer. Any task we may have asked of you has been given to someone worthy. You serve no more. |
| 37873 Go. The sight of you offends mine eye. |
| 37874 I have received word from your institution that you are no longer speaking for them in this matter. Since you are now no one of importance, I suggest that you leave. |
| 37875 Ah, but it is not merely that. You shall understand, I am sure. I formally transfer responsibility for the situation to you, <CHARNAME>. May Helm watch over you in this. |
| 37876 And Tymora as well. |
| 37877 Franco, what was that... oh, he has been relieved. Good, I found his manner insulting. Be a dear and fetch me some ale. |
| 37878 Hurgis Baltezan is his name, and a more upright citizen you will not find. He earned the title "Hand of Torm" in his service to the god of duty. |
| 37879 He shall not be disappointed with my service. She will be safe. |
| 37880 I will see to his needs as an ambassador of the Order. |
| 37881 Then I shall impress him with the moral strength of the Order. |
| 37882 Do what you must, but do not expect great reward from him. He has high expectations of people. Deliver the girl when he arrives, and that shall be enough. |
| 37883 Once again, the house is directly beside the temple in the Docks District. Helm watch over you, and Torm guide you. |
| 37884 I'll die of boredom before this night is through. Mother just couldn't leave well enough alone. Better things to spend our gold on than stupid slaves. |
| 37885 I am not to leave this place, Tyrianna. To do so would mean your death. |
| 37886 'Tis better to keep our heads clear, I think. The future is uncertain. |
| 37887 Remain in your room, if you please. I do not wish you to be endangered. |
| 37888 You sound all soggy-headed just like Mother. Future this, goodwill that, why can't I just spend our gold on normal things like good food and fine silks? |
| 37889 Oh, little <PRO_SIRMAAM>-business. Fine, I shall remain upstairs paying for mother's stupid causes. Why can't we just spend our money on silks and wine? |
| 37890 Stuffy old paladins are all alike. Same as father and my uptight godparent, Hurgis. I am not looking forward to living with him. Stupid "champions of morality." |
| 37891 All you people got my "best interests" at heart, but I don't want to be a symbol... I just want to get on with my life! Whatever. Stay doggie. Guard. Heel. |
| 37892 You should be grateful that he would take you in. He can keep you safe. |
| 37893 That's just about enough. I've a job to do, and I'd prefer you went back upstairs. |
| 37894 If you are through venting, get your spoiled butt back upstairs. |
| 37895 Get back to your little post, paladin-<PRO_GIRLBOY>. I don't have to enjoy your company even if I am stuck here. |
| 37896 It's bad enough I have to suffer those paladins without their hired help bugging me too. Go back to guarding, doggie. |
| 37897 You awake or what?! I saw something go by outside! Do your job and kill it! |
| 37898 So you do need help after all, hmm? |
| 37899 Get back upstairs and keep away from the windows! |
| 37900 I'll do my duty as I see fit! I'll not be ordered about by a spoiled little girl! |
| 37901 Stow it, bucket-helm. |
| 37902 Eww, there's blood on the carpet. Shoddy tapestry anyway. You couldn't clean this place up a bit, could you? Doesn't matter, I guess. I'll be leaving now anyway. |
| 37903 You'll leave when I say it's safe and not before! |
| 37904 And where do you think you will be going? You've seen what is waiting for you. |
| 37905 You are no longer required. There's torches outside... my godparent is here. As bad as living with him will be, it's better than this! |
| 37906 Greetings to you, my <LADYLORD>. You are a friend of our ranger here, correct? You are very welcome here in Imnesvale. |
| 37907 Your friend... our former ranger... is no longer welcome here, I can assure you. I think it would be best if you all left. |
| 37908 You are most welcome here, ranger. Anything my husband or I can provide for you, we will do so most gladly. |
| 37909 I see you have proven yourself yet again, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. My husband was lucky indeed to have found you to protect us. |
| 37910 I... despite all you have done for us, you are no longer worthy of being the village's ranger. I find it very... very sad, what you have done. You should be ashamed of yourself, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 37911 Oy! A friend o' our ranger is a friend of ours, truly said! Are ye here for somethin' to whet yer whistle, me <LADYLORD>, or can I get ye something else? |
| 37912 I would like to see your services. |
| 37913 No, that's fine. |
| 37914 In an instant, for you. Quick, boy, stand alert... we gots our best guests present an' in the house! |
| 37915 Aww... ye're not gonna make me work, are ye? |
| 37916 No lip outta you, boy! You'll do as I says! |
| 37917 As ye wishes, me <LADYLORD>. All th' best to ye. |
| 37918 No matter wot anyone else says, yer friend the ranger helped us out mighty fine. Ye're welcome in my inn, I says. |
| 37919 Izzat why ye're whisperin' there, Vinny? 'Fraid the minister might walk in, aye? |
| 37920 You'll mind yer tongue, boy! An' stop callin' me "Vinny." *ahem* Would ye like to see me services, then, me <LADYLORD>? |
| 37921 Sure. |
| 37922 No, thanks. |
| 37923 Certainly, me <LADYLORD>. Anythin' the house can offer, aye? |
| 37924 Well, if it ain't our own ranger an' protector, like! Pleased am I t' see ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>! Things have... been going well, I assume? |
| 37925 It's just th' bleedin' ranger, more like. Ye didn't fawn like this over Merella, now, did ye? |
| 37926 Went an' shooed off 'at feller who was diggin' all th' holes in the forest west o' here. Some lord or somethin'. Good riddance, says I. |
| 37927 Right. Like ye didn't knows about 'em orogs... or whatever they were. They would o' liked this inn, I'm sure of that! |
| 37928 Killed yer precious Umar, too. Hehehe... an' here you were screamin' like a banshee, sure as sin that she'd come back now t' kill ye! |
| 37929 When did Merella ever save us? 'Sides from those orcs that time. An' that black wolf feller. An'... oh, mind yer business, boy! May I help ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 37930 Aye, same here. Didn't need 'em types here when there were mithral in the hills, an' we don't need 'em now. Something I can get for ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 37931 Well, they wouldn't 'ave been welcome, I assure ye. They would have eaten ye, boy... ye're gettin' mighty portly. Er... something I can get ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 37932 Ye'll be minding yer tongue, boy, lest somethin' other than th' witch decides to part ye from it! Ah... er... somethin' I can get for ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 37933 I'd like to see your services. |
| 37934 Not really. |
| 37935 I'd like to see your services. |
| 37936 Not really. |
| 37937 I'd like to see your services. |
| 37938 Not really. |
| 37939 I'd like to see your services. |
| 37940 Not really. |
| 37941 Ah... it is ye, me <PRO_LADYLORD>. Is there... does ye wish to rent a room... perhaps? |
| 37942 I'd like to see your services, yes. |
| 37943 No, thanks. |
| 37944 I see. Um... as ye wish... |
| 37945 Very well. |
| 37946 Some... somethin's got t' be done! Somethin' does! She's comin' t' kill us all! Oooh, I knew this would happen! I shouldn't have stayed here! |
| 37947 Relax there, Vinny... she ain't gonna come an' kill ye personally just 'cause ye're selling those books. |
| 37948 Yes... yes... that's right... she won't come just after me. Er... did you... did you wish somethin', me <LADYLORD>? |
| 37949 I'd like to see your services. |
| 37950 What can you tell me about this Umar... do you know anything specific? Weaknesses? Magical powers? |
| 37951 No, thanks. |
| 37952 Oh... ah... certainly! Right away! |
| 37953 Well... ah... there is... there is certain legends that say that... ah... |
| 37954 He don't know nuthin'... |
| 37955 It HAS been over seven centuries since she existed in the valley, me <LADYLORD>! The legends... they don't even agree on what she looks like! |
| 37956 As... as you wish... oooh... maybe I should think about settin' up a caravan now. How long t' Athkatla? ...hmmm... |
| 37957 So ye're a ranger... 'at doesn't impress me none. Shoot, my gramma could kick yer arse, sure enough. |
| 37958 Well, now ya gone an' done it. 'At was my meal ticket there, ye bleedin' fool. *sigh* Now wot am I gonna do? |
| 37959 Greetings to you, my <LADYLORD>... I must tell you how grateful I am that you saved us all from those awful... shadows... or whatever they were. |
| 37960 I suppose I was wrong about that... that Madulf fellow... and those other creatures as well. They saved Atta from those ogrons! And... and so did you as well, of course! |
| 37961 And... and now you've saved us from that person who pretended to be Umar, of all things. You truly are a marvel! |
| 37962 Good day, my <LADYLORD>. I... I don't care what other people say... you saved us all once, no matter what your friend did. You have my blessing. |
| 37963 Greetings to you, ranger. I hope you find yourself warmly welcome in our village... especially after all you have done for us. |
| 37964 Good day to you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 37965 Something has to be done about that... that witch, Umar! She's threatened to kill us all unless we leave... we cannot abandon our village! Please, you must do something about her! |
| 37966 There are a bunch of... of creatures trying to attack the village, my <LADYLORD>... but that ogre, Madulf, has been holding them off! Please protect us, please! |
| 37967 There are a bunch of... of creatures threatening to attack the village! That... that ogre has held them off... or tried to eat them, I don't know! Oh, help us, please! |
| 37968 Ye're one o' the friends of our ranger, aye? Mighty pleased to see you again here. Hope you all feel at home in our village. |
| 37969 Yer friend is no longer deservin' of the position <PRO_HESHE> had... wouldn't it be best if ye all just left now? Imnesvale is not such a place fer folks like you an' that ranger. |
| 37970 Mighty pleased t' see ye, ranger... hope ye're findin' our village to yer likin'. We all appreciate havin' someone like you t' replace Merella an' all. Such a tragic thing, her dyin'. |
| 37971 Greetings to ye, ranger. Might I say we're mighty pleased to have a fine <PRO_MANWOMAN> like yerself helpin' us all? Ye've proven yerself... I hope the gods continue t' smile on ye, truly. |
| 37972 Ye has no place here, ranger. Best ye goes somewhere more t' yer tastes, where ye'll be welcome. |
| 37973 That foul witch, Umar... or whoever it might be... has cast her shadow over us all. It's up to you... an' yer friends... t' save us all. Go an' speak to the minister, if ye haven't already. |
| 37974 I wouldn'a believed it if I hadn't seen it myself... that ogre's lived up to his word and saved us all from the initial attack. It's up t' you though, now... ye has to go to the cave near here and save him. |
| 37975 I can't believe it... that ogre an' his creatures... they went an' protected us from those ogrons come from th' hills. But now they're in trouble... you plannin' on helpin' him out o' this trouble? |
| 37976 Ogrons have come down from th' hills an' are plannin' to attack us... you must help the village, ranger! Go, quickly! |
| 37977 There are a group of those... those creatures preparing to attack the village! The herders say they are near the caves! Oh, you must help us, please! |
| 37978 I thank you for bringing my family closer together. Please, hurry with your quest that my husband might come home. |
| 37979 My dear <GIRLBOY>, I don't know you from Drizzt. Leave me be. |
| 37980 Ye may have helped protect us, but ye ain't the ranger o' the village. We've a long history o' havin' a ranger here. Glad I don't have t' protect th' place. |
| 37981 Maybe ye all should just go... an' take yer former ranger friend there with ye. Our village... we'll find our way just fine without the likes o' <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 37982 Ye're doin' a fine job there, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger... Merella would o' been proud, in fact. Is there anythin' ye're needin' help with? |
| 37983 What do you know about what's going on in the forest to the west? |
| 37984 Have there been any problems with Madulf and his followers? |
| 37985 How has the alliance with Madulf been working out? |
| 37986 I trust there's been no further trouble from Lord Igen and his men? |
| 37987 I trust no one has come to take vengeance for Lord Igen, or continue his disturbance of the wilderness? |
| 37988 I take it everyone is thankful for the alliance with Madulf now? |
| 37989 I take it people have changed their minds here about Madulf and his followers? The alliance goes well? |
| 37990 There have been no further sightings of the ogrons, I take it? |
| 37991 The village has been quiet since the Umar business, I take it? |
| 37992 You know quite a bit about the area's history, Nelleck... what can you tell me about it? |
| 37993 No, thanks. |
| 37994 Not much, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger... that noble came an' didn't even talk to the minister. Just marched on over there with 'is men, easy as ye please. |
| 37995 There was lots o' relics and such left from th' days when mithral was mined in th' hills... but most of it's long gone. I don't think he'll find none. |
| 37996 'At don't mean he won't disturb the forest, or burn it down while he's goin' about 'is business. Tsk... a real shame. Me pa said that area's all holy ground. |
| 37997 None. Like I've said before... Madulf an' 'em are pretty quiet an' keep t' themselves, mostly. I don't think they wants any trouble. |
| 37998 Better than ye'd think, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Madulf and a couple o' others have been in an' out a few times... buyin' food an' usin' the inn. |
| 37999 Folks were scared at first, but they've been real polite. Keepin' a low profile too... as low as 'em big 'uns can get, anyway. The merchants like it, anyhow. |
| 38000 Nay. They're long gone... an' good riddance. Got what they came for, didn't they? Heh... |
| 38001 Nay... no one's come. Nasty bugger wasn't liked much even by them other nobles, I guess. The sacred ground will stay as it is, more or less undisturbed. |
| 38002 Aye. Even Johanna went an' thanked Madulf personally. And now Imnesvale's got defenders like no one else. Who'd 'ave thought, aye, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 38003 Be a dear... ferry my belongings outside. Then you can go back to polishing your helm, or whatever it is you paladins do when you're not saving the helpless girl. |
| 38004 Mist Horror |
| 38005 Aye. No one expected Madulf and his followers t' actually help anyone. They been by t' trade things an' such... real polite. People are mighty thankful. |
| 38006 Nay, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. No sightings. Been a long time since them orcs attacked... an' I think they'll think twice now 'fore they try it again. |
| 38007 Get back upstairs, brat! I'll decide when it's safe for you to leave! |
| 38008 I would appreciate it if you would go back upstairs. It is for your own safety. |
| 38009 Aye, things have been going very well an' smoothly, like. We're all mighty grateful to have ye here, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger. |
| 38010 Whatever. Got some real control issues to work out, I think. Sound like Mother, you do. I'll probably get more from Hurgis too. Moralizing old coot. |
| 38011 Well... the village has been here for centuries, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Even during Umar's rule... although it was a darker place then, an' mostly just farms an' such. |
| 38012 There was a rush a few centuries back... found mithral in th' hills. Temples and such were built all o'er the place, then abandoned when the mines ran dry. |
| 38013 All the nobles an' priests left, an' everythin' they built has fallen into ruin. Lots o' creatures moved into them dark places... 'at's why we needed a ranger. |
| 38014 Whatever. Got some real control issues to work out, I think. Sound like Father, you do. I'll probably get more from Hurgis too. Moralizing old coot. |
| 38015 Some spells have changed since BG1. Check the spell descriptions. |
| 38016 As ye wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... anythin' ye wish, I'll always be glad t' help ye. |
| 38017 Despite all ye've done fer us, ye're no longer welcome here, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Yer type... well, maybe ye'd better just be on yer way. |
| 38018 There's ogrons come from the hills, my <LADYLORD>... orcs with ogre blood in 'em. They're gathered near the cave north o' the river, plannin' to attack the village. |
| 38019 There are many spells available that can be used to dispel invisibility and illusions (such as Mirror Image). Check the manual. |
| 38020 You can add your own sounds to a character. Check the Readme file to see how this is done. |
| 38021 Throughout the game, there are hidden artifact pieces. A dwarf named Cromwell can forge these into a complete item. |
| 38022 We'll have t' leave the village unless somethin' is done. Maybe ye should go an' talk to the minister, if ye haven't already. |
| 38023 There's ogrons come from th' hills, my <LADYLORD>... orcs mixed with ogre blood. That ogre, Madulf, an' his followers... they've been fightin' them for the village. |
| 38024 Be a dear... ferry my belongings outside. Then you can go back to polishing your helm, or whatever it is you paladins do when you're not saving the helpless girl. |
| 38025 Get back upstairs, brat! I'll decide when it's safe for you to leave! |
| 38026 Madulf's given us some time, but the ogrons have him holed up in the cave north o' the river. He needs help... talk to the minister, if ye haven't already. |
| 38027 I would appreciate it if you would go back upstairs. It is for your own safety. |
| 38028 Whatever. Got some real control issues to work out, I think. Sound like Mother, you do. I'll probably get more from Hurgis too. Moralizing old coot. |
| 38029 Whatever. Got some real control issues to work out, I think. Sound like Father, you do. I'll probably get more from Hurgis too. Moralizing old coot. |
| 38030 There's ogrons come from th' hills, my <LADYLORD> ranger... orcs mixed with ogre blood. Madulf an' his followers, they've kept their word and fought against 'em. |
| 38031 They've bought us some time... but the ogrons cornered 'em in a cave north o' the river. They need help. Best go an' see the minister, if ye haven't already. |
| 38032 Good morrow to you. I have been informed that this is where I am to take custody of my goddaughter. I trust she is well. |
| 38033 My <LADYLORD>! The... the witch, Umar, has returned an' warns us all to leave 'fore she murders us all! I can hardly believe it t' be true! |
| 38034 The minister has asked for ye... go an' speak to him, if ye haven't already. He knows where the witch to be... ye must protect us, my <LADYLORD>! |
| 38035 You may refer to me as Lord Baltezan, or "sire." I will not accept any delay in the delivery of this child into my care. Tell her it is time to go. |
| 38036 Good morrow, to you. I have been informed that this is where I am to take custody of my goddaughter. I trust she is well. |
| 38037 She is safe and sound, as promised. I trust you can verify your identity. |
| 38038 No thanks to her own efforts. You are welcome to her, if you truly are Hurgis. |

| 38040 She is safe and sound, as promised. I trust you can verify your identity. |
| 38041 No thanks to her own efforts. You are welcome to her, if you truly are Hurgis. |
| 38042 Wandering Horror |
| 38043 Petrified |
| 38045 Ahhh... good day to you, then. Is there something that you need? |
| 38046 I'd like to see what you have in stock. |
| 38047 You may refer to me as Lord Baltezan, or "sire." I will not accept any delay in the delivery of this child into my care. Tell her it is time to go. |
| 38048 No, thanks. |
| 38049 Of course. Help yourself. |
| 38050 As you wish. |
| 38051 Yes, sire, I will tell her immediately. Will she recognize you when she sees you? |
| 38052 I apologize for my impudence, sire. I merely wished to confirm who you were. |
| 38053 Yes, sire, I will tell her immediately. Will she recognize you when she sees you? |
| 38054 I apologize for my impudence, sire. I merely wished to confirm who you were. |
| 38055 Watch your tone with me, gnome. |
| 38056 *sigh* Well... ye are the local ranger here. Very well, I'll keep me brusqueness to meself, if it offends ye. Now... did ye want t' buy somethin' or nay? |
| 38057 Yes, please. |
| 38058 No, not really. |
| 38059 As ye wish then. But you'll get no discount here... I nae be givin' me shelves o' goods away. |
| 38060 Then be on yer way, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 38061 I don't serve the likes o' you. Find somewhere else t' spend yer coin, <RACE>. |

| 38064 Is there... is there something that you need? |
| 38065 I'd like to see what you have in stock. |
| 38066 No, not really. |
| 38067 Very well. |
| 38068 As you wish. |
| 38069 I doubt she will, though I attended her birth. No, you have only my word and the word of your superiors. That should suffice for a creature of duty such as you. |
| 38070 I doubt she will, though I attended her birth. No, you have only my word and the word of your superiors. That should suffice for a creature of duty such as you. |
| 38071 You have my word and the instruction of your Order. That should be enough. You value your service to the Order, do you not? Of course you do. |
| 38072 You have my word and the instruction of your Order. That should be enough. You value your service to the Order, do you not? Of course you do. |
| 38073 Greetings, <GABBER>. We have not forgotten what you or our ranger have done for us, certainly... you are welcome to stay in our village as long as you like. |
| 38074 Now inform the child that I am here for her. I do not wish to tarry in this place, for it is known to her enemies. Be quick now. |
| 38075 Now inform the child that I am here for her. I do not wish to tarry in this place, for it is known to her enemies. Be quick now. |
| 38076 I cannot wait long; assassins will be rallying. True safety will only come back at my estate in Baldur's Gate. Deliver my goddaughter as ordered. |
| 38077 I cannot wait long; assassins will be rallying. True safety will only come back at my estate in Baldur's Gate. Deliver my goddaughter as ordered. |
| 38078 Actually... this is a matter I really must talk to our <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger about, my <LADYLORD>. No offense... |
| 38079 Actually... the matter of the ogrons is something I really must talk to our <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger about, my <LADYLORD>. No offense... |
| 38080 Of course, sire. Forgive my cautious nature. |
| 38081 I must insist on some verification of your identity. I must be sure. |
| 38082 And what if you turn out to be some cutthroat in disguise? Can I trust you? |
| 38083 Of course, sire. Forgive my cautious nature. |
| 38084 I must insist on some verification of your identity. I must be sure. |
| 38085 And what if you turn out to be some cutthroat in disguise? Can I trust you? |
| 38086 Despite all you and our former ranger have done for us... you are no longer welcome within our village. It... it is a pity. I wish you all well. |
| 38087 Greetings, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger. I trust all goes well in your cabin and your adventures elsewhere? Feel free to come and go as you like, of course. |
| 38088 Caution must give way to action eventually, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. Worry all you wish, but bring the child now or all is lost. |
| 38089 Caution must give way to action eventually, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. Worry all you wish, but bring the child now or all is lost. |
| 38090 Have you no instincts? Do you serve the Order without your heart's guidance? Bah, I have no time for doubters. Be swift and bring my goddaughter. |
| 38091 Have you no instincts? Do you serve the Order without your heart's guidance? Bah, I have no time for doubters. Be swift and bring my goddaughter. |
| 38092 Well? Is she coming down or is she not? I do not have all night to waste. |
| 38093 Well? Is she coming down or is she not? I do not have all night to waste. |
| 38094 What now? Is he finally here? Can I go? |
| 38095 Yes, he is here. Go downstairs and he shall take custody of you. |
| 38096 Wandering Horror |
| 38097 He is, though I would appreciate it if you could positively identify him for me. |
| 38098 At last. His place will be little better, but at least I'll be away from the Order. What a bunch of stiffs. |
| 38099 Greetings, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger... I trust you have already been approached by the forest spirit? I am afraid there is little that I can do. |
| 38100 Figurine |
| 38101 The spirit spoke of Lord Igen Tombelthen of Athkatla. He claims an ancestor left a cache of mithral in the west... He intends to tear the land apart to find it. |
| 38102 We have lived in peace with the spirits of the forest... I am afraid what this lord might do. Do you... intend to stop him, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 38103 I will do what I can, Minister. |
| 38104 I will cut him to ribbons if he doesn't stop this nonsense. |
| 38105 No, I have no intention of doing anything of the sort. |
| 38106 That is good... I am very relieved. Lord Igen is currently in the same area as those... that Shade Lord was earlier. I suggest you go quickly. |
| 38107 That is... a little more than I expected, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. But, I suppose you are correct... Lord Igen must be stopped, no matter what occurs. |
| 38108 But... be careful, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger. You must adhere to a code of conduct, no? I would not want you to become a fallen ranger on my account. |
| 38109 Go swiftly, then, and be safe... Lord Igen is in the land that the Shade Lord was in until recently... to the west. |
| 38110 But... you cannot simply stand idly by! You... you are a ranger, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! Have you... have you not already told this spirit you would do this? |
| 38111 Regardless, I intend to do nothing. And I never agreed to perform any duties for you, remember? |
| 38112 Very well... I will keep my word. This time. |
| 38113 Of course you are right, Minister... please forgive me. |
| 38114 As... as you say, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. The Lord Igen is in the lands to the west of here... in the area once occupied by that Shade Lord. Be... be careful. |
| 38115 Then... then you are unworthy to be the ranger of our village! By Mielikki, I've never seen a ranger of your sort! How you are not fallen is beyond me! |
| 38116 Go, then, and leave us be. The cabin is no longer yours, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. We will find another ranger who believes in their duty. |
| 38117 Go, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger! Go to the lands in the west and aid the forest spirit, as you have promised! |
| 38118 I am grateful, <CHARNAME>, that you sent away Lord Igen without bloodshed. I could not be more pleased than to have you as our ranger. |
| 38119 It is too bad you had to resort to violence with Lord Igen... but at least the sacred land of the forest spirit has been preserved. I am grateful, <CHARNAME>. |
| 38120 It is a relief to see you, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger... Delon is safe? We are in danger, <CHARNAME>. Ogrons have come down from the hills to attack the village. |
| 38121 Madulf has kept his promise and kept them from crossing the river, until now. I believe things go badly for the ogre, however... |
| 38122 We would already have been attacked... but that ogre, Madulf, and his followers drove the ogrons back briefly... although I fear things go badly for the ogre... |
| 38123 The ogron band is collected outside of the cave... on the north shore of the river. I beg of you, <CHARNAME>... please deal with this menace! |
| 38124 ...he is trapped in a cave with one of our shepherd boys, Atta, who wandered into the area. Madulf scooped the boy up and took refuge in the cave. |
| 38125 The boy must be saved, <CHARNAME>... and Madulf must not die in vain! Please... deal with this menace, I beg you! Or we will all be forced to flee our village! |
| 38126 ...the fighting has driven him back into a cave. Rescue him, <CHARNAME>, and deal with this menace... or the whole village must flee for our lives! |
| 38127 Yes, he is, but this is too convenient for my tastes. Something could be wrong. |
| 38128 I have no desire to fight ogrons... deal with this yourselves. |
| 38129 Very well, Minister... I will do what I can. |
| 38130 No, I killed the bastard. This was too easy, so I figured he was lying. |
| 38131 But... but, <CHARNAME>! You are our ranger! You... you must help us outâ€â€we are in desperate need! |
| 38132 That's too bad. I'll be going now. |
| 38133 Farsight |
| 38134 Very well... I'll see what I can do. |
| 38135 Farsight (Divination) Level: 4 Range: Special Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None When Farsight is cast, the caster is able to view an area of an unexplored map. After casting the spell, simply click on a section of the map that you want to view. For the duration of the spell, the caster can spy on that area, noting creatures and fortifications. |
| 38136 I had to kill him. There was something about his manner that I did not trust. |
| 38137 Of course you are right, Minister. I will help, if I can. |
| 38138 The village would be grateful, <CHARNAME>... Go, then... the cave is on the north shore of the river. I... I do not know how many ogrons there are... Good luck. |
| 38139 How do I do that, hmm? I've haven't seen him since I was born. You're the protector here, so is it safe to go downstairs or not? Make up your mind. |
| 38140 I am most relieved! Go, <CHARNAME>... the cave is on the north shore of the river! I do not know how many ogrons there are, but I wish you well. |
| 38141 Look, I don't care about your "feelings." I just want to know if I can leave. I'm sick of this place. Now make up your mind; do I go downstairs or do I not? |
| 38142 I have no interest in fighting these ogrons, Minister. |
| 38143 I'm sure Madulf can handle himself. I'm not needed here. |
| 38144 Very well, Minister... I will help, if I can. |
| 38145 But... but <CHARNAME>, there is a boy whose life is in danger! And you are a ranger, are you not? How can you abandon us like this? |
| 38146 That's tough, isn't it? I'll be on my way. |
| 38147 *sigh* Very well, then... I'll see what I can do. |
| 38148 Of course you are right, Minister. I apologize. I will help, if I can. |
| 38149 I... I do not believe he can, <CHARNAME>. Please... a boy is in danger, and the ogre must not die for helping us. You are a ranger... will you not aid us? |
| 38150 Sorry, no can do. |
| 38151 Very well. I'll see what I can do. |
| 38152 Sorry, I have no interest in fighting ogrons, Minister. |
| 38153 I'm not about to rescue an ogre, Minister. Let him deal with it himself. |
| 38154 Very well... I will help, if I can. |
| 38155 But the ogre is in danger, <CHARNAME>... and he fought valiantly to aid us! You... you are a ranger? Have you less honor than an ogre? Will you not help us? |
| 38156 Yes, I am sure it is safe for you to go. |
| 38157 No, wait here a moment more. |
| 38158 Yes, I am sure it is safe for you to go. |
| 38159 No, wait here a moment more. |
| 38160 Very well, Minister... I will see what I can do. |
| 38161 Of course you are right, Minister... I apologize. I will help, if I can. |
| 38162 Fine! Just you be quick about it! I want to get out of here! |
| 38163 Sorry, I have better things to do. |
| 38164 Well? What's the hold up?! |
| 38165 I am sorry for the delay. It is safe for you to go now. |
| 38166 The cave is on the north side of the river, <CHARNAME>, not far to the northwest of here... you will find the ogrons there. Go quickly! |
| 38167 I cannot let you go while I am still unsure. I am sorry. |
| 38168 Shadow Thief |
| 38169 Brunson |
| 38170 I killed the bastard. There was something wrong about this, I just know it. |
| 38171 We are more than grateful for your handling of the ogrons, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger. No doubt they will think twice before coming again. I commend you, truly. |
| 38172 I had to kill him. I am certain that the situation was still unsafe. I did not trust him. |
| 38173 <CHARNAME>, we are in dire straits. Umarâ€â€or someone claiming to be herâ€â€has returned. She came several days ago, ordering all the villagers to leave at once. |
| 38174 We were unsure what to do. This... this sorceress shot great balls of black flame from her hands, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... and summoned demons to stand at her side. |
| 38175 What? That was your solution? You had better hope you are right, because if you aren't, you are going to be in sooo much trouble. |
| 38176 Everyone was so frightened... This Umar then shouted with a great booming voice, saying she was reclaiming her land and that we were trespassers... |
| 38177 She has given us only a few days, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. A few days to leave forever, or she will kill us. You... you will help us, yes? |
| 38178 Be that as it may, you are still safest staying here. My relief will arrive soon. |
| 38179 I did what was best. I know this in my heart. I am certain. Stay here while I report of this. |
| 38180 Sorry, Minister, but this isn't my fight. |
| 38181 What kind of reward might I be looking at for this? |
| 38182 *sigh* I wonder how long I'll have to live like this? Well... all the assassins are dead now, no matter what you've done. I know how they work. You should probably go back to the Order and report this... I'd rather be alone. |
| 38183 I'll do what I can... where can this supposed "Umar" be found? |
| 38184 But you are a ranger, <CHARNAME>... you are our protector. How can you abandon us now? We cannot fight a force such as this! |
| 38185 I cannot keep coming to your rescue, Minister. You'll just have to deal with it. |
| 38186 Well, I might change my mind with a reward... |
| 38187 You are right, Minister. I will help, of course. Where can I find this sorceress? |
| 38188 A... a reward? Did you become a ranger to become rich, <CHARNAME>? You have a duty! Will you abandon us now and leave us to face this witch? |
| 38189 I will, unless you can cough up some kind of reward. |
| 38190 I suppose you're right... I'll see what I can do. Where is this "Umar"? |
| 38191 Of course not... I'm sorry, Minister. Where can I find this sorceress? |
| 38192 Shepherds followed her to the lands in the west. She... went into the dungeon where you found the Shade Lord. That is where you should start. |
| 38193 I am grateful for your aid, <CHARNAME>... I trust the gods will look out for you... and Imnesvale... once again. |
| 38194 Sure, sure. My father was certain too that his enemies wouldn't stoop to this. Well, whatever. I know how these assassins work... they're not coming back. Go back to the Order and report whatever you have to. I will be fine. |
| 38195 There is not much time, <CHARNAME>! Please... go to the dungeon in the west, where you found the Shade Lord, and stop her before she carries out her threat! |
| 38196 I'll be fine. There won't be any more assassins tonight. You've done your job and then some, so get lost. Maybe you killed my real uncle and they'll hang you... that would be worth seeing. |
| 38197 You have saved my village time after time, <CHARNAME>. You are welcome to the cabin, and we are proud to have you as our ranger. |
| 38198 I will go get her directly. Sorry to have kept you waiting. |
| 38199 Are you certain you have no proof of your identity? |
| 38200 I do not trust you, and I will not turn her over to you. |
| 38201 Despite all that you have done for us, <CHARNAME>, you are not worthy of your ranger status. |
| 38202 I will go get her directly. Sorry to have kept you waiting. |
| 38203 Are you certain you have no proof of your identity? |
| 38204 I do not trust you, and I will not turn her over to you. |
| 38205 Not at all. I would be cautious as well, but I would also carry out my duty with all haste. |
| 38206 Not at all. I would be cautious as well, but I would also carry out my duty with all haste. |
| 38207 I need no proof of who I am, for I already know. Look, either go and get her or state that you will not, but be prepared to endure the consequences! |
| 38208 I need no proof of who I am, for I already know. Look, either go and get her or state that you will not, but be prepared to endure the consequences! |
| 38209 Are you disobeying the direct orders of your superiors? Are you refusing your duty? Consider your next words. I will fight to take charge of my goddaughter! |
| 38210 Are you disobeying the direct orders of your superiors? Are you refusing your duty? Consider your next words. I will fight to take charge of my goddaughter! |
| 38211 I will go and fetch her directly. Sorry for the delay. |
| 38212 I do not trust you or this situation! |
| 38213 I will go and fetch her directly. Sorry for the delay. |
| 38214 I do not trust you or this situation! |
| 38215 I will go and get her directly. Forgive my obstinate nature, but I had to be sure. |
| 38216 I do not trust you. I choose to fight, and I will deal with the consequences later! |
| 38217 So be it! You will die in shame! |
| 38218 I will go and get her directly. Forgive my obstinate nature, but I had to be sure. |
| 38219 I do not trust you. I choose to fight, and I will deal with the consequences later! |
| 38220 So be it! You will die in shame! |
| 38221 I thank you for what you have done here. I have been served well and will say so to your superiors. Tyrianna will be safe; you can be sure of that. |
| 38222 I thank you for what you have done here. I have been served well and will say so to your superiors. Tyrianna will be safe; you can be sure of that. |
| 38223 You there... you are the <PRO_RACE> who has become the ranger for this place? My name is Mairyn... I am a spirit of this forest, and I am in desperate need of your aid! |
| 38224 This has been a confusing matter with the Morningale family, one that bears close examination. |
| 38225 There are... other humans... in my sacred lands to the north of this place where the temple of the sun god once stood. They have come recently, digging and tearing down the trees... |
| 38226 I have begged them to stop, good ranger... I have pleaded with them that they are destroying not only me, but many of the other forest spirits as well. The humans have refused. |
| 38227 I implore you... go to the forest in the north and do whatever you can to stop these humans from further desecrating my forest! |
| 38228 We were lucky. He did not say at the time, but Hurgis informed us after that a group intent on delaying him had confronted him. That was why he was so curt with you. |
| 38229 It is quite evident that you saw no trouble, but that changes nothing. You failed, and the girl is dead. The man you handed her over to was NOT Hurgis Baltezan! |
| 38230 And we are baffled as to how you could have made such a mistake! You have killed one of the most respected servants of Torm in the realms! |
| 38231 And you are to be commended. The real Hurgis contacted us and said that he had been ambushed and delayed. No doubt the assassins hoped to fool you. |
| 38232 I realize the odds were against you, but that is your lot: to fight the odds and win for justice. I am sorry, but I must rescue the reputation of the Order. |
| 38233 More than that, you have lost the favor of the gods. Your status as paladin is gone, as are the benefits. I can only imagine what happened to cause this. |
| 38234 I cannot imagine what happened under your watch. I am told that Tyrianna and Hurgis are dead? Is there an excuse that could possibly justify this? |
| 38235 What has happened. <CHARNAME>? I am told that the child is dead and that an imposter of Hurgis Baltezan was also found killed. |
| 38236 I have no interest in doing this. Find another to aid you. |
| 38237 Who are these people? Why are they doing this? |
| 38238 What kind of reward are you offering for my help? |
| 38239 Very well, Mairyn... I will do what I can to help. |
| 38240 I delivered the child to her godparent just as was planned. I see no trouble. |
| 38241 I delivered the child to her godparent just as was planned. I see no trouble. |
| 38242 No interest? You are a ranger, are you not? You are a defender of the wild... and I am in desperate need of your assistance. Will you turn your back on me, ranger? |
| 38243 I will. As I said, find another to help you. |
| 38244 You are right... I will help you, if I can. |
| 38245 Perhaps if there were some kind of reward, I might be more inclined to help you out. |
| 38246 I know not who these humans are... they claim, however, to be searching for something. Something I do not know the location of. They... threatened me, ranger. I was forced to flee. |
| 38247 You must go to them, and seek out the nature of their quest, if you wish. Whatever you do, however, you must stop them. |
| 38248 I have no interest in doing this. Find another to help you. |
| 38249 What might the reward be for doing this? |
| 38250 Very well... I will go and help you, if I can. |
| 38251 Reward? You are the first ranger I have heard of who has desired something in compensation for <PRO_HISHER> duty. I... I have nothing to offer you, ranger, other than my gratitude. |
| 38252 Then you are on your own. |
| 38253 Very well... I will see what I can do. |
| 38254 I ask nothing more of you. Go to the forest near here, with the shadowy ruins of human origin... there you will find the humans and their many tools. Go, I beg you, and stop them. |
| 38255 Then you are not worthy of your station. This village has chosen unwisely in replacing the human who protected here before you. |
| 38256 I will tell them of their mistake... and I will deal with the humans in the west as best I can. Go, unworthy ranger... go and be a simple warrior or mercenary, if you must. The forest needs not one such as you. |
| 38257 I shall wait by your cabin for you to bring word of what has occurred. May Mielikki shine on you, good ranger. |
| 38258 I... I sense that the humans yet continue their desecration of my sacred forest. What is it, good ranger? Is there a problem? |
| 38259 I talked to the noble, Lord Igen, and he refuses to stop. |
| 38260 I have agreed to find what the noble, Lord Igen, was looking for... but I cannot seem to find it. |
| 38261 There is no problem, Mairyn... I will continue trying. |
| 38262 Yes, there is. I cannot make the lord stop his search... I can do nothing more to help you. |
| 38263 Yes, there is. I have changed my mind... I do not have the time to help you. |
| 38264 All turned out well, though he said it was mere fortune that got him to the house. Things could have been very different, <CHARNAME>. |
| 38265 Tyrianna is safe, and she will be a symbol to those that strive against slavery... even if she is perhaps not the best voice. We all have our duty, though. |
| 38266 You are free to pursue your own goals for a time. The Order requires no more service from you just yet and rewards you with a suit of powerful armor for all that you have done so far. Carry on with your good works, <CHARNAME>. |
| 38267 Nothing to report to you just yet, though you are always welcome in this hall. |
| 38268 But how is this possible? You said he would arrive! |
| 38269 He had proper bearing and authority. Nothing indicated he was not who he said! |
| 38270 The real Hurgis was delayed by an ambush. Evidently, the assassins replaced him. You met an imposter. You gave the child to an imposter. |
| 38271 She was found just outside the city. You have failed, <CHARNAME>. You have failed. |
| 38272 This is very frustrating! What else could have been done?! |
| 38273 But there was nothing amiss! I don't understand how this happened! |
| 38274 We were chosen for this because as paladins, we have an affinity for detecting evil. You failed. It grieves me, but I must take steps to ease public opinion. |
| 38275 But you must find a way to stop him, ranger... you must! He cannot continue his actions! He gives no thought to the consequence of what he does! |
| 38276 I killed that imposter, Hurgis. Simple as that. I did not trust his hostile manner. |
| 38277 I will not harm him, Mairyn... and I cannot help you. |
| 38278 Very well... I will keep on trying. |
| 38279 What is it that this human lord seeks? |
| 38280 He seeks a cache of mithral hidden by an ancestor... but he has only half of the directions to where it lays. |
| 38281 I do not know where this human might find this mithral. I truly do not. I might suggest that you look to the human temple beneath the ground... the place where you yourself banished the shadows. |
| 38282 But this is not possible. He was confrontational! He was suspicious! |
| 38283 How can this be? I was certain of this! |
| 38284 Perhaps you might find what you seek there... I cannot say for certain. |
| 38285 Mielikki bless you, good ranger... I will continue to wait here. |
| 38286 You were wrong, and I don't really know what to do. It was your job to protect the last of the Morningales, and instead you have snuffed out a great light. |
| 38287 You do not take your duties very seriously, for a ranger, <PRO_RACE>. You have sworn to uphold your tenets, have you not? I implore you to think again, to help one in need that falls under your charge! |
| 38288 Very well... I will try again. |
| 38289 Sorry, but you're on your own, Mairyn. |
| 38290 You were chosen for this because as a paladin, you have an affinity for detecting evil. Certainly there was none within Hurgis. I must take steps, <CHARNAME>. |
| 38291 I already sense that the violation of my forest has ceased, good ranger. I... I am sorry that it had to come to violence. You have protected your charge nevertheless, and I am grateful. |
| 38292 I will return to my home now and thank Mielikki that one who is true to her service has taken up a station here... that justice is upheld in this woodland. Bless you, good ranger. |
| 38293 I killed that imposter, Hurgis. Simple as that. I did not trust his hostile manner. |
| 38294 You successfully detected the evil they were trying to perpetrate, and for that you have earned the respect of your peers and the community. |
| 38295 No need to say another word. I have failed in this, I know. |
| 38296 I already sense that the violation of my forest has ceased, good ranger. You have chosen your course wisely, and you have protected your charge. I am most grateful. |
| 38297 I will speak to the ranger and no other, <RACE>. |
| 38298 Hurgis demands your head, but his word is not law here. No, you have earned a more humane reward, though perhaps it is no less painful. |
| 38299 Good ranger... it is I, Mairyn, and once again I must ask you for help. The witch who has threatened your village... her dark and foul magics have also begun to poison the woodland! You must do something! |
| 38300 I cannot offer an excuse for what happened. The child is dead. |
| 38301 The child is dead, and you are disgraced. I hope the two are not linked; that would be monstrous. I will take what action I can and leave your soul to karma. |
| 38302 Threatened the village? What are you talking about? |
| 38303 Brunson |
| 38304 Sorry, but I have no time to help you. |
| 38305 Very well... I will seek her out and stop her. |
| 38306 I didn't trust Hurgis, and the child was a spoiled brat not worth my time. |
| 38307 He was not to be trusted, I know it! The girl was an unfortunate happenstance. |
| 38308 Pardo |
| 38309 Yes, I already know of her... I will do what I can, Mairyn. |
| 38310 Do you claim the moral high ground for these actions? Your audacity clinches what must be done! Get out of my sight! Return at your peril! |
| 38311 I did not trust that Hurgis fellow, so I killed him. I cannot explain the girl. |
| 38312 I killed them both. He was not to be trusted, and she was a spoiled brat. |
| 38313 Yes... well... The Hurgis imposter... killed her. Yes, that's it. Then I killed him. Yeah. |
| 38314 Certainly a great evil was committed today, but not from where we expected. Leave and never return. Only your previous service has stayed your execution. |
| 38315 You are lying, of course. Did you think a house of paladins could not detect it? The child is dead by your hand, or by those under you; it makes no difference. |
| 38316 You do not know? A witch has come into the area very recently... a human witch... and she has threatened your village with her magic. Either they leave... or she will kill them. |
| 38317 Already she gathers her dark powers in the buried human temple... that place where you destroyed the Shade Lord. Her magic seeps into the earth and poisons it with evil. |
| 38318 You must stop this creature, good ranger. Save your village and the forest both. |
| 38319 Sorry, but I have no time to do this. |
| 38320 I must go to Imnesvale and see what has occurred there. |
| 38321 Very well, I will stop this witch now. |
| 38322 You refuse to help me? And you refuse to aid the village you have been sworn to defend? How is it that you are a ranger and yet will turn your back on the helpless? Would you truly do this? |
| 38323 Yes, as I said... I have more important things to do. |
| 38324 Very well... I will see what I can do. But I must go to Imnesvale first. |
| 38325 Very well, I will see what I can do. |
| 38326 Do so, ranger! Go into the dungeon below and seek her out. I will wait here for you. |
| 38327 She lies below, good ranger, and the need is most urgent... but if you must go to your village first, then do so quickly. I will wait here for you. |
| 38328 Please, good ranger! Do not give up yet! This sorceress must be stopped! |
| 38329 I sense that the sorceress is dead... the foul presences she has conjured have ceased. You have done well, good ranger. |
| 38330 You have served the natural order with honor and strength, good ranger. I... I have something to give you. It is a present from Mielikki, a most rare thing... |
| 38331 ...an idol of the moon dog to help when you struggle. Take it, <PRO_RACE>, and be thankful that a goddess smiles upon you. |
| 38332 Oh! There you are, my <PRO_LADYLORD> ranger! I... I've been looking all over the place for you! You... you've got to come to Imnesvale! |
| 38333 Why? What is occurring there? |
| 38334 I have no time for any side trips. |
| 38335 There's orcs... big ones! Nelleck says he saw them coming down from the hills. Soon they'll attack! The minister sent me to find you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! |
| 38336 I'll be there as soon as I can, then. |
| 38337 I have no time to go to Imnesvale, I'm afraid. |
| 38338 Tell them to find someone else to deal with it... it's not my problem. |
| 38339 But... but you're a ranger! You're the protector that replaced Merella, aren't you? You've got to come! We've got nobody else to turn to! |
| 38340 Oh, please, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! Please! Everyone's so scared that they're going to have to flee the village! I... I thought rangers were supposed to help people... |
| 38341 Madulf... he said he would do what he can, but Nelleck says there's too many! Oh please, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! Please! I... I thought rangers were supposed to help people... |
| 38342 Nelleck says that they'll be at the village soon... no later than three or four days from now. You've got to hurry! |
| 38343 I'll run back and tell Minister Lloyd that you're coming! Everyone will be so relieved! |
| 38344 I do help people. I simply have something more important to do right now. |
| 38345 You heard wrong, boy. Now get lost. |
| 38346 Perhaps you are right. What is going on in the village, exactly? |
| 38347 Very well. I'll be at Imnesvale as soon as I can, then. |
| 38348 I do help people. I simply have something more important to do right now. |
| 38349 You heard wrong, boy. Now get lost. |
| 38350 Perhaps you are right. What is going on in the village, exactly? |
| 38351 Very well. I'll be at Imnesvale as soon as I can, then. |
| 38352 What... what could be more important than this?! Oooh... Nelleck says that the orcs will be on us within four days at the most... maybe less... |
| 38353 ...I... I'll go an' tell Minister Lloyd that you may not be coming. I do so hope you change your mind, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! I was sure you would help us... |
| 38354 If you... if you change your mind... please hurry... |
| 38355 I... I thought rangers were good people... that they protected people. I... I can't believe you won't help us anymore... |
| 38356 Orcs... big ones... are comin' down from the hills. Nelleck saw 'em, and the minister sent me to find you. They'll be at the village in four days... maybe less! |
| 38357 Madulf says he'll help, but Nelleck says there's too many... even for him and those other creatures of his. The minister says you should come quickly, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 38358 We haven't got anyone t' turn to, except you. And... and you replaced Merella, right? You'll come, then, right? |
| 38359 I... I've found you again, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! It's... it's so hard to find you sometimes! The... the village is in danger again! The minister has asked for you! |
| 38360 What's going on there now? |
| 38361 Go and tell the minister I will be there right away. |
| 38362 Sorry, I don't have time to help. |
| 38363 It's Umar! The witch! She's come back, and she's threatened to kill everyone if they don't go an' leave right now! The... the minister says he will tell you everything! |
| 38364 Umar? Very well, go and tell the minister I will be there as soon as I can. |
| 38365 I don't have time for this. Tell him to find someone else. |
| 38366 Okay! I'll go right now! Hurry, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, there isn't much time! |
| 38367 Don't have time? But... but you helped us fight those orcs... and you saved us all before that. Why... why would you abandon us now? I thought you were a ranger... |
| 38368 I am a ranger. Now go. |
| 38369 Perhaps you are right... what is happening in the village? |
| 38370 Very well. Go and tell the minister I will be there as soon as I can. |
| 38371 I... I can't believe you won't help us. If you... if you change your mind, please come and help! I don't think we can fight this... |
| 38372 It's Umar! The witch! She's come back, and she's threatened to kill everyone if they don't go an' leave right now! The... the minister says he will tell you everything! |
| 38373 I'll go and tell him that you're going to come, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! You must hurry! |
| 38374 Yes? You look like one of the locals, my good <MANWOMAN>. Is there something that you need? |
| 38375 What exactly are you looking for here? |
| 38376 You've got to stop all this digging and destruction that you are causing here. |
| 38377 Who are you, anyway? |
| 38378 No, I'll be on my way. |
| 38379 Ah, yes, you've noticed my little crew, have you? Yes, well, it's a rather long story, and I'd rather not get into it. Time for you to be on your way, peasant, as we have much to do here. |
| 38380 Well, what you're doing is destroying the forest... You have to stop. |
| 38381 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 38382 I'll not be spoken down to. I suggest you mend your manners, sir, before I get angry. |
| 38383 Very well, I will be on my way. |
| 38384 I'll do no such thing. I'll have you know that much of this land here is owned by my family. At least technically. And I'll tear every tree and rock in this area up until I find what I'm looking for. |
| 38385 Which is? |
| 38386 You'll not do that while I'm here, you won't. |
| 38387 Is there nothing that can dissuade you from this? |
| 38388 Very well, I'll be going, then. |
| 38389 I am Lord Igen Tombelthen, one of the last of a very prestigious and wealthy Amnian family. And since you are obviously a commoner, I would be pleased if you would just move along now. |
| 38390 Sorry, but I'm here to stop you from all this digging and destruction you're causing. |
| 38391 What exactly are you looking for here? |
| 38392 Very well, I'll be going, then. |
| 38393 Very well, then... off you go, peasant. |
| 38394 And I suggest you mind your station before I'm the one who gets angry. Speak your business, peasant, and be done with it. |
| 38395 You must stop all this damage and desecration you're causing here. |
| 38396 Forget it. I'll be going. |
| 38397 I do not think it is any of your affair. This is my land, and if I want to burn every tree here and slaughter every bear and squirrel, I will do so. I care not for your concerns, so begone. |
| 38398 I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to do that. |
| 38399 Is there nothing that can persuade you to stop? |
| 38400 Very well, I'll be going, then. |
| 38401 And what, exactly, do you intend to do about it? |
| 38402 I am warning you... your life is forfeit if you continue this desecration. |
| 38403 I would prefer a peaceful resolution. Is there nothing that can convince you to stop? |
| 38404 There is not. I will stay until I find what I am looking for, and I will not depart a moment sooner. Your sorry concern for this overgrown patch of trees and monsters means nothing to me. |
| 38405 If I found this thing for you, would you leave? |
| 38406 That is not acceptable. Not while I'm here. |
| 38407 As you wish. I will be going, then. |
| 38408 You're not going to continue what you're doing... I'm here to see to that. |
| 38409 And yours will be forfeit if you continue this blatant hostility. Another careless word from you, commoner, and I'll be wearing your tongue as a souvenir. |
| 38410 That's too bad. Time for you to die, then. |
| 38411 This doesn't need to happen. Is there nothing that will persuade you to desist? |
| 38412 Hmmm. I might at that. It would certainly save me a great deal of trouble... and spare me the danger of facing the monsters here. Are you serious about this, woods<PRO_MANWOMAN>? |
| 38413 I am, so long as you stop your destruction. |
| 38414 No, I am not about to do your work for you, I think. |
| 38415 No... I doubt you would keep your deal anyway. It would be far better to kill you now. |
| 38416 Spoken like the usual dishonorable commoner. As you wish, then. Men! Take <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 38417 I am willing to put off the search... at least for a while, to give you time to look for it. I'm sure my men will be glad of the break, at any rate... and it really costs me nothing. |
| 38418 You are a ranger, aren't you? I should have guessed from the attitude and the clothing. Very well then, ranger. I will leave here forever, if you find what I am looking for. You have my word. |
| 38419 But I suppose some explanation is in order here, is it not? |
| 38420 I recently came across part of a journal belonging to an ancestor of mine, Idras Tombelthen. It was his fool notion to buy this land, back when there was mithral here. |
| 38421 He was not alone back then. Many nobles came... and there was not enough for all, certainly. I had always assumed that Idras had found nothing, but his journal suggests otherwise. |
| 38422 He mentions that he hid a cache of mithral here, away from the eyes of bandits. This was before he died, I assume, which is why he never brought it out again. |
| 38423 The part of the journal I have only mentions this area in general... nothing specific. Hence the large search I have undertaken. Here... I have a copy that was printed out. You may need it. |
| 38424 The other half of his journal may be around here... I certainly couldn't say where it might be, though, and I'm not about to waste effort looking for it. |
| 38425 So... there you have it, ranger. My men will set up camp here, and we will give you some time to search. It means little to me, but for your sake, I wish you well. |
| 38426 Then you might have spared me your insolence sooner. Away with you, foolish little <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 38427 You're a Tombelthen? Well, perhaps this medallion belongs to you, then. I found it with this note not far from here. |
| 38428 You're a Tombelthen? Well, perhaps this medallion belongs to you, then. I found it with a note penned by an Idras Tombelthen not far from here. Apparently, this was all the mithral he could find here. |
| 38429 What? Let me see that note... |
| 38430 ...I see. So this medallion is the sum of all he found? The fool! Ahhh, then this whole expedition has been a waste. It cannot be that valuable that all this effort has been worth it. |
| 38431 Very well then, ranger. That medallion is rightfully mine, but I'm willing to reward you for your effort. I'll give you 1,000 gold for it, and then I'll not disturb your precious forest any longer. |
| 38432 This was not easily come by. I will sell it to you for 2,000 gold, no less. |
| 38433 This was not easily come by. I will sell it to you for 2,000 gold, no less. |
| 38434 Very well... 1,000 gold and your departure is enough for me. |
| 38435 It is yours by right, Lord Igen. Take it and leave. |
| 38436 I would prefer to hang onto it, actually... it might be worth more than you say. |
| 38437 I might remind you, commoner, that the medallion is mine by right. And I do not have such coin as you ask. 1,000 gold, no more. |
| 38438 Very well, 1,000 gold and your departure will be enough for me. |
| 38439 I suppose I do not need your coin... it is yours by right, as you say. Take it and leave, then. |
| 38440 Sorry... 2,000 or you don't get it. |
| 38441 Do not test my patience, peasant. It is mine by right, and I will not be trifled with. I will give you 500 gold... and do not presume to bargain with me further. |
| 38442 500? Now you're insulting me. Forget it. |
| 38443 Perhaps you are right. 500 it is... so long as you leave as well. |
| 38444 I do not need your coin, at any rate. It is yours, as you say. Take it and go. |
| 38445 Aye. I am a man of my word, ranger. I have found what I desired... such as it is... and I shall go. Come, men... we are returning to the city. |
| 38446 You are generous, then. I see the rangers are as noble as their reputation. Very well, then... I am also a man of my word. Come, men... we return to the city. |
| 38447 I warn you, peasant. That is my property... and I shall use force, if necessary, to take it from you. I offer 500 gold... accept or face the consequences. |
| 38448 If that's the way you're going to be, you're not going to get it at all. |
| 38449 I've no desire for trouble... 500 it is. |
| 38450 Never mind, Lord Igen... I've no need for your coin. It's yours, as you said. Take it and go. |
| 38451 So be it. Men! Take <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 38452 You again? What is it that you want now, woods<PRO_MANWOMAN>? My patience with your disruptions wears thin. |
| 38453 Hmmm... a commoner <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Away with you... I doubt we have any business, the two of us. |
| 38454 I demand to know what you're looking for. |
| 38455 Pardo |
| 38456 Is there nothing that will convince you to stop this desecration? |
| 38457 The rituals of ascension still rule here. Cernd will challenge you for leadership. |
| 38458 That's too bad... you will not continue this desecration so long as I am here. |
| 38459 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 38460 Nothing... I'll be on my way. |
| 38461 Moreno |
| 38462 I will speak for myself! Faldorn, for crimes upon this grove and her surrounding peoples, I challenge you! By the rites laid down ages ago, you cannot refuse! |
| 38463 Why would I refuse? I took this grove by force, and I shall keep it. Did you think I would retreat? Oh no, Cernd, this is your end. Prepare! |
| 38464 Well, how is it with you then, ranger? Have you found Idras's store of mithral? |
| 38465 I found this medallion, along with this note from Idras. Apparently, this is all you've been searching for. |
| 38466 I found this medallion, along with a note from Idras. Apparently, he didn't have much luck... he used all his mithral to make this. |
| 38467 I haven't... but I have found the other half of Idras's journal here. Will you accept that instead? |
| 38468 Not yet, but I intend to keep looking. |
| 38469 No... and I have decided not to continue looking. |
| 38470 It doesn't matter... I doubt you can be trusted anyway. It is better to kill you now. |
| 38471 Certainly not. I do not know where you got those writings, ranger... they might not even be authentic. And even if they are... use them to find the cache yourself. |
| 38472 I'm sorry, could you give me the long version of our history? It's like we just met. |
| 38473 After all... it is you who is so concerned about my men leaving tracks in your precious landscape, not I. |
| 38474 Oh, all right, but then we have to get going. It isn't safe here. |
| 38475 We lived at Candlekeep. It was the safest place, what with you having that Bhaal blood. You were with Gorion. I guess I came along later. |
| 38476 Very well, I will continue looking for your treasure. |
| 38477 Forget it, then... I am not about to continue this fool's errand. |
| 38478 I have my doubts as to whether you would even keep your word... Forget your task, noble. Killing you is the only option. |
| 38479 As you wish. You can look no better than I, I suppose... I shall continue to bide my time here. I'll even keep my men off the grass. |
| 38480 I think they let us stay because Gorion had powerful friends. I wish he had said where I was before that, but he thought it wasn't important, so I didn't worry too much. |
| 38481 That is not good enough. You know too much about what I look for. In fact... you could already have found the cache and intend to keep it for yourself. Continue the search... or face the consequence. |
| 38482 Very well... I'll keep looking. |
| 38483 Forget it! You likely wouldn't keep your word anyway! |
| 38484 Do so... and return once you have it. And do not force me to come looking for you either, peasant... |
| 38485 Gorion was like a father, but I preferred old Winthrop. He was the innkeep, and he taught me about keeping out of sight and such. |
| 38486 We left when Sarevok killed Gorion. I was sorry I couldn't help, but we got him in the end. Remember that? That Sarevok turned out to be a child of Bhaal, like you? |
| 38487 Anyway, now we're stuck in this place after getting captured by some creep that has been torturing us! Now, can we please go? |
| 38488 I am no one you need to concern yourself with, traveler. I am here to ensure the safety of Lord Igen, and that is all. |
| 38489 If you have business with Lord Igen, I suggest you talk to him. |
| 38490 You have agreed to undertake Lord Igen's search for him? Then you are foolish indeed. He will not stray from his quarry... and I doubt you have the ability to complete the task. |
| 38491 Can I trust you? I still don't really remember a thing. |
| 38492 Doing tests? Torturing? What do you mean? |
| 38493 All right, I'm moving. I ache all over though. |
| 38494 You have business with us? Speak to Lord Igen. Otherwise, leave me to do my work. |
| 38495 Don't mind the break here at all. You all just watch yourselves... any funny business with Lord Tombelthen and that'll be the end of you. |
| 38496 Youse must kill the ogrons, <RACE>! Lil human must be protected! Go an' kill ogrons... Madulf wounded. Madulf stay and protect lil human... |
| 38497 Youse must kill ogrons! Madulf try, but Madulf wounded... Madulf hold off ogrons from here. Go, <RACE>... kill ogrons! Protect human village! |
| 38498 Moreno |
| 38499 Franco |
| 38500 Franco |
| 38501 Ogrons dead? Youse done good, <RACE>. Youse kill all 'em ogrons good... Madulf try, but Madulf's friends get hurt and run. Then lil human came, and Madulf had to protect lil human. |
| 38502 Madulf pick up lil human and run for cave. Ogrons shoot arrows... hurt Madulf. Youse okay though, lil human? Youse not hurt? |
| 38503 Hurgis Baltezan |
| 38504 I... my name's Atta... and I'm fine, Mister Ogre, sir... |
| 38505 Hurgis Baltezan |
| 38506 That good. Then youse go home, if youse not hurt. Youse be careful, lil Atta... |
| 38507 ...okay... um, thank you, Mister Ogre... |
| 38508 Squire Elotte |
| 38509 Squire Elotte |
| 38510 Madulf say he protect village, so he try kill ogrons. Ogrons very strong, though. Madulf kept word, though... Madulf hold ogrons back so ogrons no attack too soon. Youse get here just in time. |
| 38511 Madulf go now... Madulf must find his friends, see if friends dead or wounded, maybe. Madulf see now if humans in village be nicer to Madulf and friends. |
| 38512 Youse a good <RACE>... Madulf thanks you for saving Madulf. |
| 38513 Madulf knows Madulf never promise to protect village... but Madulf not watch village humans be hurt. Madulf and friends... we hold ogrons back. Youse get here just in time. |
| 38514 Ogrons dead? Youse done good, <RACE>. Youse kill all 'em ogrons good... Madulf try, but Madulf's friends get hurt and run into hills. |
| 38515 Madulf fight ogrons on own, but ogrons shoots arrows... arrows hurt Madulf, so Madulf run for cave. |
| 38516 Are... are all those bad monsters gone, <SIRMAAM>? I... I'm so scared... |
| 38517 What?! Blast! And here I thought scaring those poor fools with Umar's name would prevent them from sticking their noses here until I was done setting up my demesne. |
| 38518 Obviously, I was wrong. But I will not allow intruders here, fool! I claim this place! It's mine! Mine! |
| 38519 I am relieved, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! You have saved us again! And... that ogre, Madulf, saved Atta. I was surprised enough to see him protecting the village! |
| 38520 Maybe we were wrong about him and his... his followers. There may be a chance of an alliance... I will speak to him about it when I see him next. |
| 38521 Thank you again, <CHARNAME>... the gods have smiled on us indeed to allow us you as our ranger. |
| 38522 I am relieved, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! You have saved us! And... that ogre, Madulf, fought to protect us! I was shocked to see it with my own eyes! |
| 38523 I am relieved, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! You have saved us again! And Madulf and his friends kept their word... they repelled the first wave, before you arrived. |
| 38524 And he saved little Atta. This changes my mind about him, and others in the village will feel the same. We are blessed to have him, and you, as protectors. |
| 38525 Well... this changes my mind about him, and I hope others in the village will feel the same. We are blessed, truly, to have him... and you... as our protectors. |
| 38526 I am very relieved, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! You have saved us yet again! Truly we are blessed to have you as our ranger and protector! |
| 38527 We had to call the Knights of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart to help... but they arrived too late to save many. You could have done much to prevent it. |
| 38528 You are not welcome here, any longer, and the cabin is no longer yours to occupy. I think it would be best if you just left. |

| 38536 Imoen! Quickly, child, bring <CHARNAME> to me. I would have words with <PRO_HIMHER> if <PRO_HESHE> is able. |
| 38537 I can help you too. Should I not try? I hate to see you cooped up like that. |
| 38538 Of course, but if <CHARNAME> is here as well, I should speak with <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 38539 Minsc, that is horrible! I am so sorry for you. |
| 38540 Bronze Horn of Valhalla |
| 38541 Iron Horn of Valhalla |
| 38542 I won't cry for the dead! I won't! Okay, maybe a little, but I will staunch the flow of tears with righteous fury! Lullaby and goodnight, evil! Minsc will make you pay! |
| 38543 Eww, I... really don't want to think about that too much. |
| 38544 I... I know this room. I've been in here... we both have. He... There are things in these tanks. They used to be people... |
| 38545 Horn of Silence |
| 38546 You must invade their lair one last time. You must kill Aran Linvail, the Shadowmaster. Do this for me, and our arrangement will be fulfilled. |
| 38547 Glasses of Identification |
| 38548 Aran is in the basement of the Shadow Thief guild house, so you need a key. The lock is likely unpickable. What good is a lock in a thieves' guild if any thief can pick it? |
| 38549 Perhaps your former contact, Gaelan, could be "persuaded" to give you his key. I leave the details to your discretion. Go now and return when Linvail is dead. |
| 38550 Back so soon? Return only when Aran Linvail is dead. |

| 38560 We'll get him back, Imoen. We'll make him pay for all of this. |
| 38561 Quit your whining. We're free now. |
| 38562 I'm sure we'll find him soon enough. I want to know what he wants with me. |
| 38563 I don't know about that, Minsc, but he sure is a cute little fuzzy wuzzy. Aren't you, Boo? |
| 38564 Animal Friendship |
| 38565 Animal Friendship (Enchantment/Charm) Sphere: Animal Range: 30 ft. Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 1 hr. Area of Effect: 1 animal Saving Throw: Neg. By means of this spell, the caster is able to show any animal of animal intelligence to semi-intelligence (i.e., Intelligence 1-4) that <PRO_HESHE> desires friendship. If the animal does not roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell immediately when the spell is begun, it stands quietly while the caster finishes the spell. Thereafter, it follows the caster about. The spell functions only if the caster actually wishes to be the animal's friend. If the caster has ulterior motives, the animal always senses them (for example, if the caster intends to eat the animal, send it ahead to set off traps, etc.). The caster can teach the befriended animal three specific tricks or tasks for each point of Intelligence it possesses. Typical tasks are those taught to a dog or similar pet (i.e., they cannot be complex). Training for each such trick must be done over a period of one week, and all must be done within three months of acquiring the creature. During the three-month period, the animal will not harm the caster, but if the creature is left alone for more than a week, it will revert to its natural state and act accordingly. The caster can use this spell to attract up to 2 Hit Dice of animal(s) per experience level <PRO_HESHE> possesses. This is also the maximum total Hit Dice of the animals that can be attracted and trained at one time: no more than twice the caster's experience level. Only unaligned animals can be attracted, befriended, and trained. |
| 38566 Endure Cold/Heat |
| 38567 Cloak of Fear (Conjuration) Level: 4 Sphere: Charm Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: Neg. Cloak of Fear empowers the caster to radiate a personal aura of fear out to a 3-ft. radius. All other characters and creatures within this aura must roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell or run away in panic for 4 rounds. Party members are immune to the effects, although the aura of fear may still disturb them. |
| 38568 Cloak of Fear |
| 38569 False Dawn |
| 38570 False Dawn (Evocation) Sphere: Sun Level: 6 Range: 0 Duration: 5 rounds Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None False Dawn calls into existence a bright reddish light, as if a sunrise were occurring, within the area of effect. All undead creatures within a False Dawn suffer 6d6 points of damage. There is no Saving Throw. Affected undead also act confused on the round after the False Dawn appears. |
| 38571 Dolorous Decay |
| 38572 Dolorous Decay (Alteration, Necromancy) Sphere: Combat, Necromantic Level: 6 Range: 30 ft. Duration: Special Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special This spell affects a single living creature. Dolorous Decay is a rotting and withering of the body that spreads throughout the afflicted creature quickly. The target creature will automatically be slowed for 2 rounds. Furthermore, if the target fails a Saving Throw vs. Poison with a -2 penalty, <PRO_HESHE> will suffer 1 point of damage per second until a total of 50 points of damage are inflicted. |
| 38573 Wondrous Recall |
| 38574 Wondrous Recall (Alteration) Sphere: Charm, Creation Level: 6 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This spell enables the caster to bring back to memory 2 spells that have been previously cast. If no spells have been cast yet, nothing happens. Wondrous Recall cannot recall 6th-level or higher spells. |
| 38575 Bolt of Glory |
| 38576 Bolt of Glory (Invocation/Evocation) Sphere: Combat, Summoning Level: 6 Range: 60 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None By casting this spell, the priest channels a bolt of divine energy against the target. No attack roll is needed. Creatures struck suffer varying damage, depending on their plane of origin: Creature Type Damage Prime Material Plane 6d6 Elemental 3d4 Undead 8d6 Demon 10d6 |
| 38577 Physical Mirror |
| 38578 Physical Mirror (Alteration) Level: 6 Sphere: Numbers Range: 90 ft. Duration: 9 rounds Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell causes a localized folding of space. The folded space takes the form of an invisible disk that protects the caster. Any missile weapon that intersects this disk is instantaneously reversed in direction. Melee factors such as speed, range, and damage are unaffected; the direction of the object or force is simply rotated through a 180-degree arc. The sender of the missile finds <PRO_HIMHER>self the target of <PRO_HISHER> own attack. The caster of the mirror may direct missile attacks normally through the space occupied by the mirror. |
| 38579 Sol's Searing Orb |
| 38580 Sol's Searing Orb (Invocation) Sphere: Sun Level: 6 Range: 90 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special When the spell is completed, it creates a glowing stone. This gem must be immediately thrown at an opponent, for it quickly becomes too hot to hold. It is not possible for the priest to give the stone to another character to throw. The priest must make an attack roll with +3 bonus and no penalty for lack of weapon proficiency. In addition, the glowing gem can be used to strike any creature, even those hit only by magical weapons, although there is no damage bonus. When it hits, the gem bursts with a brilliant, searing flash that causes 6d6 points of fire damage to the target and blinds <PRO_HIMHER> for 1d6 rounds. The victim is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell for half damage and to avoid being blinded. Undead creatures suffer 12d6 points of fire damage and are blinded for 12 rounds (if applicable) upon a failed Saving Throw; otherwise, they receive 9d6 points of damage and are blinded for 6 rounds. |
| 38581 Zone of Sweet Air |
| 38582 Zone of Sweet Air (Abjuration) Level: 3 Sphere: Wards Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Zone of Sweet Air repels all noxious elements from poisonous vapors (including magically created vapors such as Cloudkill). This spell will dismiss all clouds in the entire area that the caster is currently in. The spell offers no protection against poisonous vapors created by a dragon's breath weapon (such as the chlorine gas of a green dragon). |
| 38583 Alarm |
| 38584 We don't even know where we are, and my head is still doing funny things... He said something... something about potential. |
| 38585 Alarm (Abjuration, Evocation) Range: 30 ft. Duration: 4 hrs. + ' hr./level Casting Time: 1 rd. Area of Effect: Up to 20-ft. cube Saving Throw: None When an alarm spell is cast, the wizard causes a selected area to react to the presence of any creature larger than a normal ratâ€â€anything larger than about ' cubic foot in volume or more than about three pounds in weight. The area of effect can be a portal, a section of floor, stairs, etc. As soon as any creature enters the warded area, touches it, or otherwise contacts it without speaking a password established by the caster, the alarm spell lets out a loud ringing that can be heard clearly within a 60-foot radius. (Reduce the radius by 10 feet for each interposing door and by 20 feet for each substantial interposing wall.) The sound lasts for one round and then ceases. Ethereal or astrally projected creatures do not trigger an alarm, but flying or levitating creatures, invisible creatures, or incorporeal or gaseous creatures do. The caster can dismiss the alarm with a single word. |
| 38586 Spook |
| 38587 Spook (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 1 Range: 30 ft. Duration: 3 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. A Spook spell enables the wizard to play upon natural fears to cause the target creature to perceive the caster as someone or something inimical, which then appears to advance upon it in a threatening manner. If the creature does not make a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell, it turns and flees at maximum speed as far from the wizard as possible. The creature suffers a Saving Throw penalty of -1 every 2 levels of the caster, up to a maximum of -6 at 12th level. Although the caster does not actually pursue the fleeing creature, a phantasm from its own mind does. Undead are completely unaffected. |
| 38588 Melf's Minute Meteors |
| 38589 Melf's Minute Meteors (Evocation) Level: 3 Range: 0 Duration: Special Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This spell creates several small globes of fire, one for each experience level the wizard has obtained, which are held in the wizard's hands in place of <PRO_HISHER> usual weapons. The meteors can be hurled at targets up to 270 feet away and are treated as missiles with a +5 bonus to the attack rolls. Each meteor bursts into a 1-ft. diameter sphere upon impact, inflicting 1d4+3 points of damage plus an additional 3 points of fire damage to any creature struck. The wizard may hurl up to five missiles per round. |
| 38590 Contagion |
| 38591 Contagion (Necromancy) Level: 4 Range: 90 ft. Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. This spell causes a major disease and weakness in a creature. The afflicted individual is immediately stricken with painful and distracting symptoms: boils, blotches, lesions, seeping abscesses, and so on. Strength, Dexterity, and Charisma scores are reduced by 2. The afflicted character is also Slowed. These effects persist until the character receives a Cure Disease spell. |
| 38592 Deafness |
| 38593 Deafness (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 2 Range: 180 ft. Duration: Special Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. The Deafness spell causes the recipient to become totally unable to hear any sounds. The victim is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell to negate the effect. Deafened spellcasters have a 50% chance to miscast any spells. This deafness can be done away with by means of a Dispel Magic spell or a Cure Disease spell. |
| 38594 Glitterdust |
| 38595 Glitterdust (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 2 Range: 30 ft. Duration: 4 rounds Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 30 ft. Saving Throw: Neg. This spell creates a cloud of glittering golden particles within the area of effect. All enemies in the area must roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Spell or be blinded (-4 penalty to attack rolls and Armor Class) for 4 rounds. In addition, all enemies who fail their Saving Throw are covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle until it fades, thus revealing invisible creatures. The dust fades in 4 rounds. |
| 38596 Wizard Eye |
| 38597 Wizard Eye (Divination, Alteration) Level: 4 Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 round/level Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None When this spell is employed, the wizard creates an invisible sensory organ that sends <PRO_HIMHER> visual information. The wizard eye can see with normal vision up to 60 ft. away in brightly lit areas. The wizard eye can travel in any direction as long as the spell lasts. It has substance and a form that can be detected (by a Detect Invisibility spell, for instance). Solid barriers prevent the passage of a wizard eye. The powers of the eye cannot be enhanced by other spells or items. The caster is subject to any gaze attack met by the eye. A successful Dispel Magic cast on the wizard or eye ends the spell. |
| 38598 Limited Wish |
| 38599 Are we? Horrible, horrible things surround us, and my head still hurts like crazy. I want to know what he did to me. I remember... something about potential. |
| 38600 Limited Wish (Conjuration/Summoning, Invocation/Evocation) Level: 7 Range: Unlimited Duration: Special Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None The Limited Wish is a very potent but difficult spell. It will fulfill literally, but only partially or for a limited duration, the utterance of the spellcaster. Thus, the actuality of the past, present, or future might be altered (but possibly only for the wizard unless the wording of the spell is most carefully stated) in some limited manner. The use of a Limited Wish will not substantially change major realities. The spell can, for example, restore some Hit Points lost by the wizard. Greedy desires usually end in disaster for the wisher. Lastly, the wiser the wizard, the better chance that <PRO_HESHE> will choose the right wording. Wizards with low Wisdom will more often than not meet with disaster when asking for a wish. |
| 38601 She can only be a vampire, and I suspect many of her servants are as well. The time has come to strike back to protect our people and the city she has invaded. |
| 38602 He said it about you too: something about power that can be unleashed. I don't care; I just have to get out. Can we leave this room? It bothers me. |
| 38603 I want to know what he did to me too. My head still hurts really bad. He said... said something about potential... about you too. |
| 38604 There you shall find a set of blue doors just north of a spider den. The doors are too heavy for any mortal to open, but the vampires likely pass with ease. |
| 38605 I shall send a mage to meet you there and arrange for the doors to be opened. Here, you shall need these stakes if you are to truly finish these creatures. |
| 38606 Wow, a golem. Powerful magic stuff. Odd that it's not hostile. I suppose its maker didn't expect us to escape, so it never got orders for restraining us. |
| 38607 Prisoners... you must not escape... the master does not will it. |
| 38608 This flail has been in the care of Lord de'Arnise for some time, a relic of his adventuring youth. It has been kept disassembled, the individual pieces stored in separate locations, and only used in the direst of emergencies. Lord de'Arnise was likely concerned about the powerful magic that the weapon radiated when compiled, and rightfully so. A trail of destruction has followed it through history, leading straight back to the original owners. The flail was the creation of the warlike rakshasa, a race of vengeful spirits that crave human meat, and used as an adaptable weapon that could suit any battle. During a particularly violent hunt, the flail was lost, only to be returned when they used their affinity for magic to locate its powerful aura. They discovered that the weapon had found its way into the hands of a great human warrior, and the battle that followed was truly splendid. They have since used the item as bait countless times, "losing" it again and again. Powerful items gravitate towards powerful people, and powerful people yield the most glorious battles.

| 38611 They only do exactly what they are directed to; they don't really think. If it hasn't been told to keep quiet, we might get some information out of it. |
| 38612 What...? What is this place? It'sâ€â€it's beautiful! Oh... there is simply no way that this space belongs to the same person that owns those horrible glass containers. |
| 38613 Flail Head |
| 38614 This is a head for a flail. |
| 38615 Flail Head (Fire) |
| 38616 Flail Head (Acid) |
| 38617 It is unlikely that our captor would rent out space. It must be his. |
| 38618 Perhaps it is simply a side of him we have not seen. |
| 38619 No, it can't be. Not the person I know. This... this bed, that table... I know of them. He would... he would speak of them while... while he... |
| 38620 It's for a lost love, kept in perfect condition. She... she despises him. This is his monument to her. He spoke of all of this, but... but his voice was cold... |
| 38621 No emotion at all, not even remembered. He spoke of these things even while he cut... he cut... and the spells that wove through my brain... cold, ugly things! |
| 38622 He cannot hurt you now. You are among friends. |
| 38623 Calm down, you'll attract attention to us. |
| 38624 It still hurts... his sick fingers are still in my head, doing whatever it was he started. I see blood... and death... behind my eyes... Irenicus... |
| 38625 This room: If he could care for anything, he would care for this room. Above the lives of all of us. It makes me sick. I feel... I feel... so much hate. |
| 38626 I would burn this place, but it is nothing. Even as it means so much, it is nothing. Let's do what we must and get out of this place; it is making me sick. |
| 38627 We are nothing; that's why the golems don't care. Why bother worrying about gnats? Besides, he doesn't need to catch us. I can tell. I can feel it. |
| 38628 Duergar, I think. Kind of evil, I guess, so I'm not surprised they would be working for our captor. |
| 38629 Quite the little setup down here. Got everything he needs, including smiths. |
| 38630 He tolerates some company, or are they little more than skilled packhorses to him? |
| 38631 For the knives, probably. The knives... he has a lot of them... I'm going to have a couple of scars from this... looks like you will too. |
| 38632 I doubt he cares for anything more than the quality of knives they make. He has a lot of them... I'm going to have scars from this... looks like you will too. |
| 38633 Jaheira... I wanna say how sorry I am about Khalid. I... I know this is hard... |
| 38634 No! You do not know. This is not the time for this conversation, child. |
| 38635 Stop calling me "child." I'm as old as <CHARNAME>, and besides, I can tell you that Khalid did not suffer. |
| 38636 What are you babbling about, Imoen? I am not in the mood. |
| 38637 I'm not babbling! I saw him do this! Khalid was dead when our captor started... doing those things to him! |
| 38638 You saw this? You watched as it was done? |
| 38639 He... he showed me. He cut and... and showed me. He forced my eyes open and made me look as he... |
| 38640 Stop, I don't want to hear this. |
| 38641 He said I should see, so I would understand, but I don't know what he wanted! He would cut and say "Do you see?" Cut and say "Do you see?" |
| 38642 Be quiet, child! No more! |
| 38643 I am not a child! I'm as old as <CHARNAME>, and I've... I've seen. I can see... |
| 38644 You've seen some horrible things best forgotten. We all have, in our day. This will pass when we... avenge the fallen and... bury this son of a bitch. |
| 38645 I see now... in my head... cut, "yes, I see..." |
| 38646 Imoen! Enough! Let's go! |
| 38647 So beautiful! I used to dream of dryads and their beautiful trees. |
| 38648 You are welcome among us, girl. Youthful exuberance is music that we have not heard in such a long time. |
| 38649 I used to dream... but he doesn't. Your charms don't work on him anymore, do they? |
| 38650 How do you know of this? He has touched you as us, hasn't he? Irenicus searches for something he cannot find, and he looks within those that have no more idea than he. |
| 38651 Irenicus... |
| 38652 A name that is synonymous with death and ugliness. |
| 38653 No, death sounds different. He showed me... I spit on his name. I spit on this place. |
| 38654 Live as you can where you must, young woman. You will not survive if you give in. We have learned this. |
| 38655 I have learned... something different. So beautiful you are. I almost can't see you. I just want to go home. Oh, <CHARNAME>, when can we go home? |
| 38656 The name of our captor, though we are no nearer to understanding his motive. |
| 38657 The name of our captor, but we are no closer to his motive. |
| 38658 A name for our captor, though I still do not understand his motive. |
| 38659 We are supposed to instill emotion, but he is barren inside. I am not sure what he expects. |
| 38660 We are supposed to instill emotion, but he is barren inside. I am not sure what he expects. |
| 38661 I've gotta hand it to you... you sure have some kind of courage to sleep in this place. I would've run screaming a dozen times over if you weren't here. |
| 38662 We needed rest to succeed. We had to take the chance. |
| 38663 It seemed safe enough. No one has taken serious notice of our escape. |
| 38664 I know what you mean. This place worries me too. |
| 38665 I guess I should be used to sleeping with both eyes open. I don't deal with this well. We're alike because of Gorion, but I prefer being in the background. |
| 38666 Do you remember much about him? My memory is still fuzzy. |
| 38667 Perhaps, though I remember you not hesitating to step up front when needed. |
| 38668 This is silly! Buttons are not how one escapes dungeons! I would smash the button and rain beatings liberally down on the wizard for playing such a trick! |
| 38669 That's your preference. I prefer to lead. Speaking of which, we should get going. |
| 38670 Verily... of that I have no doubt, Minsc. But the question is hypothetical and requires an answer born of the wisdom of <CHARNAME>, not your impatience. |
| 38671 He was a great mage, and supposedly a great adventurer. It's funny; we lived with him for years, and Jaheira seems to know more about him. |
| 38672 I guess he was a big friend of the Harpers. Even got a visit from Khelben "Blackstaff" once. Real powerful mage. Talked to Gorion like an equal. |
| 38673 But we have done nothing to you, lady. We have only just come upon you... perhaps if you calm yourself, we could |
| 38674 I wish we could go back to those days, before all this fuss and bother. Before I learned... Well, we've seen so much. Candlekeep seems so small now. |
| 38675 We have done nothing to you. I see that you are an elf... We are prisoners here, as are you. Perhaps if we could |
| 38676 Nonsense, he was secretive with everyone. We just had... mutual acquaintances. |
| 38677 Lies! Lies! |
| 38678 Dog Meat |
| 38679 Dog Meat |
| 38680 Dog Stew |
| 38681 Keep Key |
| 38682 Dog Stew |
| 38683 Yes, but then to me it always did. It was home, but I outgrew it. |
| 38684 There wasn't much to go back to with Gorion gone. |
| 38685 You have to move on eventually. Speaking of which, we should get going. |
| 38686 Seems like we're not important enough to worry about. I'm just not up to this like you. We're alike because of Gorion, but I prefer being in the background. |
| 38687 Do you remember much about him? My memory is still fuzzy. |
| 38688 Perhaps, though I remember you not hesitating to step up front when needed. |
| 38689 That's your preference. I prefer to lead. Speaking of which, we should get going. |
| 38690 Does it? Then I feel better. I figured I didn't deal with this as well as you. We're alike because of Gorion, but I prefer being in the background. |
| 38691 Keep Key |
| 38692 So... I see we have a name for our captor at last. Irenicus, is it? Tell me, dryads, why this Irenicus would go to such lengths to keep you three here? |
| 38693 Do you remember much about him? My memory is still fuzzy. |
| 38694 Perhaps, though I remember you not hesitating to step up front when needed. |
| 38695 That's your preference. I prefer to lead. Speaking of which, we should get going. |
| 38696 Irenicus? There is a special place in my bootprint for him, and I shall fill it in the name of Dynaheir! Such evil to keep forest spirits locked away! |
| 38697 Well, when people are in danger, sure. Winthrop taught me how to get out of trouble, but Gorion always said there are times when it's worth getting into it. |
| 38698 Dragon Claw |
| 38699 Surely you won't refuse them the chance to return to their forest, <CHARNAME>? It takes no effort from us and would be a kindness to them. Think it over. |
| 38700 While your cursor is over a monster, you can press Tab to look at the monster's general Hit Point status. |
| 38701 Well, right now we're in danger, and I guess we should work on getting out. Let's go. |
| 38702 Do you remember much about him? My memory is still fuzzy. |
| 38703 Yeah, you're right. I don't want to spend a second more in this place than I have to. My head still hurts, and I keep seeing things in corners and such. |
| 38704 We won't be able to just walk away, you know. The guy that captured us... he knows about you. He said something about potential, something about great power. |
| 38705 Funny, that. I was sorry to go, but I couldn't let you wander off on your own, now could I? After Gorion d... died, you needed all the help you could get. |
| 38706 Not that I'm much help right now. My head still aches, and I keep seeing things. Too much death around here, everywhere. It's in everything, even me. |
| 38707 We still had friends there. They were proud, even if they didn't show it. Winthrop said so. He always thought Gorion was too stuffy. I don't know though. |
| 38708 Ooh, my head still hurts, and I keep thinking I see... things in the corners. Too much death here for my liking. It's in everything, even us. |
| 38709 This hidden forge seems to work by the mind's will alone. Its magic is such that it will fix the Flail of Ages merely by your wishing it to do so. The forge has a handle with several chains attached. You shall have to find the heads of the flail and bring them to this forge. |
| 38710 Sparky |
| 38711 Sparky |
| 38712 You place part of the flail on the forge and the work begins. The hammer begins to pound as invisible forces bring up a chain to attach to the magical ball. A short time later, the flail is ready. |

| 38720 It is monstrous that one would do such a thing to a servant, to lock him away in an eternity of pain. It offends nature. |

| 38734 What a tortured creature that clone thing was. She was a copy? A copy of another person? |
| 38735 I wonder why Irenicus made her? I doubt he took pleasure in her company; he's beyond that. He's fascinated with death. He showed me... over and over... |
| 38736 Well, I'm not about to refuse you a coin or two, you poor soul. We have plenty, I think... and a few gold can do them a lot more good than it does you, <CHARNAME>! |
| 38737 I'm not accustomed to such loads. I've had to drop something. |
| 38738 Silence, child! Allow the fool to make his judgment. |
| 38739 Be glad ye can walk, ye stinkin' gullet, lest I take care o' that problem for ye so all who pass pity ye plenty more! |
| 38740 That was a nice thing to do, <CHARNAME>. Although I'm sure you could spare a lot more... What are you saving up for? A golden sword? |
| 38741 We've no money to waste on vagrants and beggars, m'lady. They would be far better served fending for themselves for once. |
| 38742 <CHARNAME> will do as <PRO_HESHE> decides is best. While kind enough to give the beggar a coin, there is no need for <PRO_HIMHER> to give away everything <PRO_HESHE> owns. |
| 38743 Now, now, Nalia. A golden sword wouldn't be so bad... except maybe for the weight. And the softness. Pretty much only good for one swing, actually. Hmmm... Tell me, <CHARNAME>, just why are you planning on buying a golden sword, anyway? Sounds pretty useless to me. |
| 38744 I never said I was going to |
| 38745 Oh, don't go and tell me you don't want one. I've heard you mumbling in your sleep, you chatty little <PRO_MANWOMAN>. But never mind... I'd like to see you try and fight with one. |
| 38746 I have made the pinch, and none are the wiser. |
| 38747 I am hidden from any that would see. |
| 38749 A simple wood range with a cauldron. This could be used to cook something if you had reason to do so. |
| 38750 You empty the dog meat into the cauldron to be stewed. |
| 38751 "The measure of our hearts is taken by the kindness we show to the least of our brethren." Aye, 'tis truly so. |
| 38752 We dared not approach. |
| 38753 You need more dog meat to fill the cauldron. |
| 38754 The cauldron is full enough to feed six umber hulks, and the dog stew is ready. |
| 38755 My spell is lost! |
| 38756 The trap is set. Watch your step! |
| 38757 You have no further use for the range. |
| 38758 As you pick up the weapon, two of the golems come to life and attack. |
| 38759 You would question even a kindness, Lady Nalia? Truly, you should think on your words more carefully. |
| 38760 Money has far more uses than to simply be given away, Nalia... I'm sure that is exactly what <CHARNAME> has in mind. |
| 38761 For shame, <CHARNAME>, that you could speak to a child so. Have you no compassion for the helpless? |
| 38762 All will be done that can be done. |
| 38763 You will defile no more! |
| 38764 We must help this child! I will find who took his mother and teach them a thing or three about decency, respect, and keeping their hands off of people's parents! |
| 38765 It might not hurt to see where the child's mother is... if it's on our way, that is. But it's your call, <CHARNAME>. |
| 38766 Do you know where I am? |
| 38767 I think I recognize the place. Like I told you when we met, I think this is Athkatla. Is that right? Is this the City of Coin itself? |
| 38768 Aye, it surely is. |
| 38769 And the fight between the wizard and those men... you saw the whole thing? |
| 38770 Do you know where I am? |
| 38771 And where would here be? |
| 38772 Do you know where I am? |
| 38773 Take care, <CHARNAME>. I have heard of these Cowled Wizards. Spellcasters of the highest order, the only magic-users allowed here in Amn, I believe. |
| 38774 Owl wizards? |
| 38775 No, tall one. The Cowled Wizards. They are permitted by the council to use their foul arts... they watch for any signs of sorcery here in the city. |
| 38776 Accept your deserved retribution! |
| 38779 It is no risk! Not so long as we have swords and braveness to the brim of the tall glass of goodness! Right, Boo? |
| 38780 We should be careful, <CHARNAME>... There's no telling what is going on within if the city guard can't handle it. "Be prepared for anything" is what I always say. |
| 38781 You'll find no better prices in Amn. I guarantee it. |
| 38782 Uh, regardless, in the end, he came willingly. |
| 38783 Have a look at my wares. I trust you'll find them all in satisfactory condition. |
| 38784 Well, you look like the sort who has more than two gold pieces to rub together! |
| 38785 Calimshites, Tethyrians, Waterdhaviansâ€â€they all make their way here eventually to Amn, they do. |
| 38787 Oh... this reminds me so much of Candlekeep. Dusty old tomes all over, bookcases nearly spilling. It's... like we never left... |
| 38788 But we did, didn't we? <CHARNAME>, I just want to go home again. It doesn't matter where it is, just so long as I can call it home. |

| 38795 <GABBER>, welcome! You have escaped somewhat later than I had hoped. I am Aataqah. |
| 38796 And you are, of course, the spirited traveling companion of <CHARNAME>. I had hoped to speak with <PRO_HIMHER>, but you are certainly worthy. Yes, I am sure of that. |
| 38797 I had hoped to speak with <CHARNAME>... <PRO_HESHE> is such fun to watch. But you, <GABBER>, now I turn to you. |
| 38798 To what end? Why do you need to ask me a question? |
| 38799 To what end? Why do you need to ask me a question? |
| 38800 The paths before <CHARNAME> branch a thousand times. It is strangely difficult for me to see what comes. |

| 38846 Rod of Resurrection |
| 38848 Greetings, good customer. A pearl to you. |
| 38849 But of course. Feel free to have a look around, my friend. |

| 38852 Well, if it isn't me favorite halfling lass. How does ye be, girlie? |
| 38853 Well, then I does owe yer friend a debt of thanks for keeping a fine lass like ye among us. I trust the adventuring goes well? |
| 38854 You can press Tab while on the main screen, and your party members' Hit Points will appear above their heads. |
| 38855 Ah, ye're sweet t' say so. I don't miss it much, though, to say fer certain. Have a look about me new venture, lass, and don't be so long in yer visits next time. |
| 38856 Ribald? Ribald... is that really you? |
| 38857 Fairly well, good friend, thanks to <CHARNAME> here. See, <PRO_HESHE>'s a good <PRO_MANWOMAN> at heart and saved my life from a shadow fiend in the hills. |
| 38858 Well enough, although I might say that the Life misses your noble presence, Ribald. |

| 38863 It is... well enough, Miss Jaheira. Ye'll not bring Harper trouble to me doorstep, good lady... might I remind ye that me days of involvement with yer kin are long over? |
| 38864 I am not here in an official capacity, suspicious one. There is no need to worry. |
| 38865 With your kin, there always be a need to worry... but I should mind me manners. Please excuse me. |
| 38866 *flees in terror* |
| 38867 Aye, I see it. The subtle exclusion of those born into wealth. You've a good eye on you, old man. Do you belong here, then? |
| 38868 Mists swirl deep within this hole, perhaps a portal to elsewhere. |
| 38869 The wyvern's perch twitches as if it lives and is soft and organic to the touch. |

| 38874 The brazier glows with a searing heat. An arm reaches from the fire as if waiting to grasp something and draw it into the heat. |
| 38875 What... what a pitiful little man. Everyone did laugh at him... but they didn't deserve to die. I... I just can't hate him, despite all he's done. |
| 38876 You place the orb in the outstretched arm and watch as the orb is drawn into the searing heat. For a moment, nothing happens. You hear a cracking noise, and the orb bursts. |
| 38877 The gnome is dead. How he was able to perform these great feats of illusion will have to remain a mystery, it seems. |
| 38878 With the mastery orb destroyed and the collars useless, the warden's thralls should cause no more trouble for you. |
| 38879 Is... is that you, Jansen? |
| 38880 Now, I thought your name sounded familiar when I heard it. Now I'm certain that it is. Queasy! My old friend Queasy, after all this time! |
| 38881 Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a while. |
| 38882 It was well earned. Have you ever told <CHARNAME> how you acquired it? No? Well, let me start by saying that the cockatrice is a rather pernicious breed of chicken, and not one that takes lightly to being plucked. And I suppose I should mention that you actually can make a pretty decent glue out of a bit of spit and goblin droppings, no matter what the old wives tell you. Well, anyway, Queasy here decides to |
| 38883 Come, now, Jan... we're in mixed company here, and I'm sure that's not a tale for certain ears, if you take my meaning. |
| 38884 Well now, I suppose you're right, Queasy. They got the stain out anyway, so no permanent damage was done. So... joined the circus, eh? Good choice. Thought of it myself. |
| 38885 Ah, but a life of thievery and barter was too appealing, I see. Heh heh... it is good to see you too, Jansen. |
| 38886 Hello again, Jansen. Try not to steal the circus while you're here, will you? |
| 38887 Wouldn't think of it. Although I've always had a fondness for those spinning wheels of yours... I've always thought they would make excellent dinner tables. Especially when Aunt Beatrice is cooking... just give 'er a spin and hope for the best, if you take my meaning. |

| 38905 Roddy |
| 38906 Roddy |
| 38907 Ah. You must be from Rashemen then, I suppose. Big fellow, aren't you? |
| 38908 Pipe |
| 38909 Well, that's good to know. Nice meeting you, Minsc. Always good to know there are people looking out for Aerie. |
| 38910 Take care of Aerie, Minsc. She's delicate... I wouldn't want anything happen to her. I'm sure you'll do everything in your power to protect your witch, right? |
| 38911 I will protect my witch! EVIL SHALL SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF MINSC AND HIS WITCH! WOE TO THOSE WHO WOULD BRING DANGER TO AERIE! |
| 38912 Ahh, yes... that's what I meant, I suppose. |
| 38913 Perhaps you should work a little on your approach, my dear lady. Perhaps a bit of a limp in your step, hunch down a bit more... there, now you have it. Nothing wrong with improving your display, see? |
| 38914 I can't believe the conditions here. The nobility allows the poor to live like this just so long as they are out of their sight... it... it makes me furious! |
| 38915 Why do you dote so on an obviously fraudulent beggar, <CHARNAME>? I would not give such unlicensed conning a second glance. |
| 38916 Wealth is wasted on such. It will be spent in a moment and forgotten. If nothing else is done to help such barren souls, giving them coin is not a preferable alternative. |
| 38917 I can't believe you are so unfeeling, Anomen! |
| 38918 I wonder if you would think that if you were on the other side of the transaction, knight. Perhaps some perspective is all you need. |
| 38919 I agree. Only with self-determination will such rabble amount to anything, rivvil or no. It makes my stomach reel to see anything relying on the limited pity of others. |
| 38920 That was unbecoming of you, <CHARNAME>, to be so forceful with one of such a lesser station. But I suppose you shall do as you wish regardless. |
| 38921 I've heard of the place. It is the large central building here in the slums. Best be careful inside... although if you are looking for other adventurers, no place is better. |
| 38922 Hmph. If someone's going up against the Shadow Thieves, they're in for a short tenure here in Athkatla. They rule the docks if not the entire city. |
| 38923 Martur |
| 38924 Martur |
| 38925 It is about time someone stood up to those foul thieves. This city could be scoured clean of them by Helm himself, and they would return to infest in minutes like cockroaches. |
| 38927 Ye can go ahead an' search Shagbag's corpse... the blasted fool. Th' bleedin' book might still be worth something if it's intact. |
| 38928 I don't think I've seen... so many destitute people. Can... can we just leave here, <CHARNAME>? It makes me cold all over to think that people live like this... |
| 38929 Well, that isn't exactly true, is it, <CHARNAME>? Let's just forget our pockets are brimming with gold here in the house of the god of mercy. Hmph. |
| 38930 I... I have a coin for you, beggar. Praise be to Ilmater, may the gods look kindly on you, human. |
| 38931 The very sentimentality of this place affronts me, <CHARNAME>. That any deity could not recognize the need for this pathetic rabble to care for themselves fills me with bile. |
| 38932 If you wish me to leave your service, so be it. I shall return to the Order and see if they require my service. That is where I shall be if you have need of me. |
| 38933 The fact that the city barely patrols this area is offensive enough, but the lack of honor in the guards that do... accepting money to overlook offenses, completely reprehensible! |
| 38934 Oh yes... these are the guards I remember. Blind as a bat once a few coins get placed over their eyes. Tsk. |
| 38935 If you no longer require my assistance, I will return to my family. I am sure they would understand if you needed my service in the future. I will be there if you do. |
| 38936 <CHARNAME>! We must aid him! Evil stands before me and demands a quick kick in the posterior! |
| 38937 I cannot stand idly while such a travesty unfolds before my eyes. Justice is demanded, and in Torm's name, it shall be delivered! |
| 38938 We must aid the unfortunate, <CHARNAME>! Our honor demands our intervention! |
| 38939 Oh no! We must do something to help that poor man! I... I can't just stand here and watch this! |
| 38940 I'll not abide such obvious deceit from you, filth! Such an affront to humanity can only be answered with steel! |
| 38941 It sounds like there is a trade of flesh going on, <CHARNAME>, but questioning this man will get us nowhere. Perhaps a more thorough inquiry is called for. |
| 38942 Such dealings will not go on without response! And you... you vile excuse for a guard... your blind eyes shall be the first put out! <CHARNAME>! Take the others! |
| 38943 I will not stand and watch men carting slaves! THEY SHALL FEEL MY BLADE AND BOOT AND BACKHAND AS WELL! GO FOR THE EYES, BOO, GO FOR THE EYES! |
| 38944 I doubt this man is a prisoner, <CHARNAME>. More likely a slave, prohibitions notwithstanding. A revolting practice wherever it is carried out. |
| 38945 I don't know if you want to get involved in this, <CHARNAME>... from what I've heard, the slavers in the slums here are not to be trifled with. But it could be fun, I suppose... |

| 38951 I'd say that, technically, I already own the damnable sphere... and if you continue your irritating attempt to con passersby, you'll find yourself on the end of my blade. Got it? |

| 38958 Hey! You there! The pretty young lady in the hood! |
| 38959 I'd say you're a pathetic man who should seriously consider finding some honest work for once. Honestly... who do you expect to fall for that line? |
| 38960 Hmmm... the sphere is awfully big for only 500 gold pieces. It might be a good bargain. What say you, Boo? |
| 38961 Glabrezu |
| 38962 You know, I always wanted a sphere like that. Something the gods might play marbles with... it would make a good conversation piece sitting out on the lawn. Hmmm. I would hate it if it rolled over the house, though... |
| 38963 Oh, never mind... |
| 38964 Oh... *erp*... you really must excuse me. I just... *erf*... don't have the stomach for this, much... |
| 38965 I... I'm supposed to be Booter's apprentice, but I'm beginning to have second thoughts... |
| 38966 Come on back t' the table, boy! Looks like I got another one for ye t' clean up after. And... oh, yeah... bring th' saw. |
| 38967 Oh... oh no... I... *erp*... I can't...! |
| 38968 Traitor! I would've helped ye! Die! |
| 38969 Heh... I lose more good apprentices that way, it seems. Ah well. There was always that fella wi' the pug nose. He jus' vomited at th' screamin'. |
| 38970 Y-you... you should have heard 'im screamin' earlier... and there was all th' blood... and then there was the hooks... and... and... *erp*... excuse me... I think I'm going t' be sick... |
| 38971 Eh? I kin hardly remember the last time someone actually came in an' talked t' me... musta bin, what? Six years ago? |
| 38972 Seven years ago. |
| 38973 Ahhhh, like ye kin keep good tack o' time here! |
| 38974 Yup. Sure kin. I've been scratching th' walls t' mark th' days go by. |
| 38975 An' that works? |
| 38976 Sure. 'Cept when ye runs out o' wall. Then it's jus' guessin'. |
| 38977 Eh. When ye figure ye're gonna run outta wall? |
| 38978 'Bout two years ago. Give or take a year, eh? Heh heh heh... |
| 38979 Ahhhh, leave me alone. Aran ain't e'en thought o' me in years; he ain't about t' let me outta here. Unless ye gots some good bread there... does ye gots good bread? |
| 38980 Ehhh? Is it dinner already? I haven't scratched my nose yet, and I always scratches my nose before dinner... |
| 38981 Come on, mate... does <HESHE> look like Bingham? You think <HESHE>'s bringin' ye food? |
| 38982 Ye never knows. They changes the guards sometimes. It happens. |

| 38989 Yeah... but ye sure <HESHE> ain't here wi' food? |
| 38990 Trissa |
| 38991 Yup. Don't look like it, none. |
| 38992 Then go away, you. Now I don't know if'n I'm gonna scratch me nose or not! Look what ye've done! |

| 38998 Apprentice Torturer Douglas |
| 38999 Heh... welcome to the guild, friend. We haven't met yet... me name's Cuchul. Burglar extraordinaire. Best rooftop crawler this side o' Waterdeep, aye. |

| 39002 Lady Merana |
| 39003 I remember when I wandered into what looked like a mighty temptin' house... large, with lots o' windows. Turned out it were a house o' ill repute, if ye catch me drift. |
| 39004 Caught one o' the girls changin'... she didn't mind none. Yup... 'twas a good night. Came out even too, helpin' the girls throw out the drunks. Some of 'em was rich drunks. |
| 39005 You just mind yer manners when ye're around Aran. He's had more than a few close scrapes o' late. Assassination attempts... foolish ones, too. |
| 39006 Still can't believe Achon actually tried it. Foolhardy, if ye asks me. An' he was Aran's second an' everything. Goes t' show ye just can't tell these days. |
| 39007 Neeber |
| 39008 This here's the lounge, in case ye were wonderin'. Ain't much in the way of service, but it's a place t' sit when ye ain't training. Ye gotta watch out fer that Pelanna... she'll work ye t' the bone, if she cares to. |
| 39009 Neeber |
| 39010 Ye're plannin' on usin' the courses, maybe? Huntin' someone in the crawl or tryin' out the rafters? Watch out fer the trap room, though... the guildmaster there is a bit o' a sadist, if ye asks me. |
| 39011 Don't know why Aran bothers with that Tassa... Now Pelanna... there's a gal with th' business goin' on, if ye knows what I mean. She can whip me inta shape any time! |
| 39012 Heh... ye should'a seen the face on the mark I had last night. Big, round fella, right? Snorin' like there's no tomorrow, an' I sees he's got all this food on 'is belly. Fell asleep eatin' in bed, I guess. |
| 39013 Trainee |
| 39014 Anyway, I sneaks around and lifts everythin', right? An' as I'm leavin', I'm thinking, "Boy, I is sure hungry." So I grabs some cake off 'is belly, an' he starts awake! |
| 39015 Trainee |
| 39016 His eyes are as big as plates, right? An' he starts hollerin' an' having a seizure an' all. An' I jus' calmly tips me hat to 'im an' says all polite-like, "Thank you fer the cake, fella." |
| 39017 Vyatri |
| 39018 Vyatri |
| 39019 You think he says he's welcome or anythin'? Nope. But that's people for ya... it's all goin' downhill, if ye asks me. |

| 39038 Hoi, greetings to ya. Me name's Mitsu, an' don't go tryin' to make it rhyme with any funny nicknames, now, because I'm small an' such. I'm a Shadow Thief, just as you are. |
| 39039 Well, now that that business is out o' the way, let me give ya a proper greetin'. Welcome to the guild, right an' true. I suppose ye're here to either train or meet Aran, eh? |
| 39040 Me, I'd take the trainin'. Aran Linvail is not a man t' be messed with, an' it's best to avoid him altogether just in case ye're messin' with him by accident, see? |
| 39041 But I'm sure ya will do just fine. |
| 39042 I'm sure ye're wondering just what Mitsu is doing amongst the Shadow Thieves. They don't have many halflings here, right? Well, that's true... but not many halflings take their thievery so seriously. |
| 39043 Me, I do. And the fact that I can pass fer a human child... a helpless, cute human child... gives me the edge when I want to rob a mark. |
| 39044 All I have t' do is bat me eyes, see? And I make a moue and say, "Please, sir... I can't find my way home? Can you help me?" Ha! Works like a charm! |
| 39045 Cuchul, you'll keep yer wanderin' eyes t' yerself if ya knows what's best for ya... |
| 39046 Heh... of course I shall, if ye wish. I jus' can't help starin' at the wee curves of yer leather, is all. Stirs the heart, it does. |
| 39047 I knows what it stirs, boy. Jus' keep it locked up, and there won't be any need for me dagger to get itchy. |
| 39048 Ya know... I was just in the Graveyard District the other day, leanin' against a tombstone an' counting coins from a mark I'd hit in the promenade, right? |
| 39049 An' this nobleman walks up to me... I'm in me little girl dress, mind... an' he asks if I'm lost. So I goes with it, cryin' and shiverin' and actin' all helpless, like. |
| 39050 He brings me to 'is mansion in the bridge and puts me up for three days, havin' his servants cosset me head and toe. 'Twas a marvelous thing, milk baths an' shiny sheets, smellin' sweet as ya please. |
| 39051 I gave 'im a kiss on the forehead, too, 'cause he's such a gentleman. 'Course... that's when I had him tied up in his chair and robbed his safe an' all. Good haul. Nice man. |
| 39052 Don't let that Tassa order ya around none. She's just Aran's mistress... and while that means ya don't touch her and don't piss 'er off too much, it doesn't mean ya has to listen to her, s'right? |
| 39053 Are ya plannin' on running the crawl? 'Tis a maze of pipes down there, an' dangerous with all th' Shadow Thieves huntin' each other in the dark. Tsk. Haven't done it meself in a while. |
| 39054 What about you, Cuchul? When's the last time ye've run the crawl? |
| 39055 Hmmm... must be nigh on three months now. But I've been avoidin' Pelanna like the plague. She won't be convinced me trainin's done 'til I'm on me deathbed. |
| 39056 Ha! Really? Must be just you, Cuchul. Me, she leaves alone jus' fine. I runs the course only if I feels like it. Maybe some of our trainin's just more advanced than others', s'right? |
| 39057 Pfeh! Ye know 'tis just that the lovely sergeant has a thing for the Cuchul and little else, wee one. |
| 39058 I truly wish Aran would find another place fer Booter to tend his work. 'Tis a distraction when ye're trainin', listenin' to the screams and smellin' those bits he doesn't clean up. |
| 39059 Hold the string closer to your arm! Your shot can be easily disrupted. |
| 39060 Hmm... 'course, he could be doin' it purposeful-like as well. Keeps ya mindful of certain things, s'right? |
| 39061 Good shot! |
| 39062 Good work today, Phealos. Go and hit the baths. |
| 39063 Hmph. I suppose that you must be one of Aran's new favorites. You don't have the look of one who's worked <HISHER> way up through the ranks of the guild. |
| 39064 You there! Move to the side. We're in the middle of training. |
| 39065 Who I am is none of your business. |
| 39066 I've earned my place amongst the Shadow Thieves, just as the rest of them. |
| 39067 I'm here to acquire Aran's help, not that it's any of your business. |
| 39068 Don't speak to me, prisoner, or you'll be dangling from the ceiling by your tongue. |
| 39069 Aye... I suppose nothing that occurs in the guild is any of my business. At least, not any longer. Not once Aran got through with me. |
| 39070 Hah! You feel that your position is something that has some particular meaning or value? That it has any permanence beyond Aran's whim? Not likely, fool. |
| 39071 Aran's help? Aran's help is like his harm; there is little difference between the two, for the most part. He'll turn on you in a second if it amuses him, mark my words. |
| 39072 There's nothing you can say that will frighten me, little <MANWOMAN>. My fate here has been sealed by Aran himself. And I shall suffer much more than your disagreeable presence before I am allowed to die. |
| 39073 I am Achon... I was once Aran's lieutenant, his chief assistant and right-hand man. I was loyal to the guild above all, and that was my greatest fault. I thought I was doing the guild a favor by trying to assassinate Aran. |
| 39074 Perhaps I was right, perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps Aran will not destroy our guild. Perhaps the other guild run by that... that woman... will be eliminated. I suppose I shall never know. |
| 39075 The only thing I am certain of now is that my punishment shall be more agonizing and prolonged than anything you can dream of. |
| 39076 Now leave me be, newcomer. There is nothing you can do for me or to me, and I have nothing left but to await my fate at Aran's whim. |
| 39077 Did you not listen to me before? Leave me to my fate. With luck, I shall not live long. |
| 39078 Amac |
| 39079 Amac |
| 39080 Eh? Who are you? I don't recognize you? Are you here to take me to me execution, finally? |
| 39081 Lise |
| 39082 Lise |
| 39083 'Twould be a relief, I think. Aran's had me here for over a month. At least... I think it's been a month. I'd hate to think I'd just be left here to rot, forever... |
| 39084 I don't suppose you even know why I'm here, do you? Aran sent me on a mission, and I failed him. *sigh* I tried my best, though, I really did. How did I know his nephew would die? |
| 39085 Aran sent me to sneak into a fort in Murann... bring someone who was there back out. I was the best, and he told me the mission was important. Just... just not how important, though. |
| 39086 I made it to the fort and even snuck inside under cover of midnight. I got fumbled in a gas trap, though. Didn't even see it coming. My lungs burned as I fought to stay conscious... but I lost. |
| 39087 Came to with some knight or other glaring down at me. They just threw me out, spouting some nonsense about honor or such. I wish now that they had just killed me. |
| 39088 You see... the one I was sent to retrieve was Aran's nephew. They had him prisoner there. And... and he was executed the next morning, by the time I stumbled back to the guild. |
| 39089 *sigh* If only I'd known. I never would have come back. Although I suppose they'd have found me eventually. |
| 39090 It's so... so cold down here. And the other prisoners are bleaker than a dark pit in the Abyss. I just... I just wish Aran would take pity on me and have it over with. |
| 39091 Jenia |
| 39092 Jenia |
| 39093 I just made one mistake. Before that, I was the best the Shadow Thieves had. Thought I was irreplaceable, too. Hmph. |
| 39094 You'd best be careful not to cross Aran, if you ever work for him. The Shadow Thieves are deadly assassins... and they're completely at his beck and call. |
| 39095 Gristor |
| 39096 There's that other guild now, isn't there? One run by some woman. I wonder... I wonder if she would get me out of here. I'd work for her, for sure... and I bet there's others that would be willing to as well. |
| 39097 Gristor |
| 39098 But who am I kidding? There's no hope for me... or any of us here. Just... go away, whoever you are. |
| 39099 ...uhhhh... UHHH... n-n-noOOOO, PLEASE!... |
| 39100 Now, what's all th' bloody noise about? It's not like I'm goin' to remove the red-hot poker simply 'cause you start pleadin' for mercy, now, is it? |
| 39101 NO! NO, PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU! DON'T DO THIS! |
| 39102 Now, now, ye should have thought about that before you went and murdered your guild partners and their families. Now careful, your moving might cause real damage here, an' then where would I be? |
| 39103 *gasp* N-nooOOOO... Gggh... ngh... uuuhhhHHHAAAIIIIIEEE! |
| 39104 Tsk. I don't think you really appreciate the level of craftsmanship you're receiving here. We've been at this for, what? Four days? And you've only passed out twice. |
| 39105 Do you know how hard that is? Ahhhh... the lack of appreciation sometimes. |
| 39106 Hmmm. Douglas... find me th' pliers. Time our guest here found some respect for the craft. |
| 39107 Raissa |
| 39108 Raissa |
| 39109 Oh... oh, oh... *erf*... I... I don't think I can... |
| 39110 ...uhhhhn... hnghhh... *erf* |
| 39111 Come, now, Douglas. How're you supposed t' learn anythin' if ye doesn't watch, aye? Are ye being sick in th' corner? Again? Well, ye're goin' to have t' clean it, this |
| 39112 AYYYYYAHHHHHHhhhh... hhnh... nn... |
| 39113 Tiris |
| 39114 Tarnation! Loviatar's bane! Look what yer distraction 'as done now, Douglas. I wasn't lookin', an' now 'e's dead. Tsk. Shoddy, just shoddy. |
| 39115 Tiris |
| 39116 ...s-sorry, Master Booter... |
| 39117 Well, you'll learn. We all did, 'ere. No loss, this fellow. Killed his fellows over a mere pittance of gold. A thief is a thief, but he was plain old scum. |
| 39118 Ha! Finally! I hate these stupid trap courses. I'll simply press this idiot button and... |
| 39119 Lady Lilith Lurraxol |
| 39120 Lady Lilith Lurraxol |
| 39121 Hee hee! They always fall for that! Pelanna! I need a new trainee! |
| 39122 Hmm... I've heard about you. You've done a lot of fighting... deadly, they say, and powerful. Lots of talk. Care to... listen to an offer, hmmmm? |
| 39123 Sure, I'll listen. |
| 39124 Forget it, I've got other things to do. |
| 39125 Good, good. Now... as I figure it, you can't be too loyal to Aran Linvail just yet, right? You must realize that his position is ripe for the plucking! Anyone with guts could take it now! |
| 39126 The whole guild could be ours! Ours! Just think of it! I... I think... |
| 39127 You there! I hear what you're saying! Treachery! Treachery against the guild! |
| 39128 Oooo... I didn't see him there... |
| 39129 Fool! Face your death! And you there... unless you wish the same, you'll assist me! |
| 39130 That's what becomes of traitors. They are all fools to think the Shadowmaster is weak, simply because another guild fights against us. The Shadowmaster will prevail. |
| 39131 I must report this now. Excuse me... |
| 39132 The door seems to be barred from the other side. You cannot get through it. |
| 39133 Lord Skarmaen Alibakkar |
| 39134 Other things? Other things?! Certainly not more important than this! |
| 39135 Lord Skarmaen Alibakkar |
| 39136 The Shadowmaster's position hangs by a thread! A thread, I tell you! The slightest touch could topple him! And... and you could do it! I've heard about you! |
| 39137 We could... you could rule the entire guild! You could do it! And I could tell... I could... er... |
| 39138 Alenina |
| 39139 Alenina |
| 39140 Beware, guild member. There's trouble about; I can sense it. |
| 39141 I admit I never thought the bitch Bodhi would have the courage to invade. No matter. You shall be the first to fall! |
| 39142 Oh... oh no! What have I done?! I... I've got to flee! Flee! |
| 39143 Kich |
| 39144 Now... where did he go? I could have sworn I saw him come through this part of the crawl only a second ago! |
| 39145 Kich |
| 39146 Ha! You never could find your target in the shadows, Krin! Not with a bonfire and an automatic crossbow! |
| 39147 You can't evade me forever! The crawl is only so big! I'll get you yet! |
| 39148 Itona |
| 39149 Don't make me laugh, Krin. I practically snuck up behind you twice in there and breathed on your ear. |
| 39150 Itona |
| 39151 *pant* All right... all right then. Are you ready for another match? |
| 39152 I think so. *pant* Maybe we should rest for a while first? |
| 39153 And risk Pelanna catching us? Not on your life. Ready or not, then, let's begin! |
| 39154 S-stop! Stop! I... I concede. *pant* Whew... you really got me there. |
| 39155 Militia Wizard |
| 39156 Well, you should be more careful which spells you choose to rely on. And besides, sometimes the sword is just faster. |
| 39157 Now you're sounding like Pelanna. |
| 39158 Heh... well, you never know. She could be listening from the shadows, right? Nothing wrong with a few extra brownie points, if you know what I mean. |
| 39159 Militia Wizard |
| 39160 You are such a suck-up. Let's go, then. I think there's a scroll up in the archive that has my name on it... and then that sword of yours won't do you much good. |
| 39161 Well, we'll see, heh. |
| 39162 Sorry, but we're rather busy at the moment. |
| 39163 Sorry, my friend... Pelanna has us training together at the moment. She'd murder us if she saw us chatting. Perhaps another time? |
| 39164 I'm not going with him! I'm not! Help me! Please! |
| 39165 Fool! You missed the opportunity to work for me when you gave your ill-gotten gold to the Shadow Thieves. We will meet again! |
| 39166 Combat between men, is it? Such a practice is vile, <CHARNAME>... surely we will not stand idly and allow such practices to continue? |
| 39167 They watch people fight each other here? For pleasure? Why would they do that? Those men... they don't do that willingly, do they? |
| 39168 To witness bloodshed brings a rush to those who do not indulge themselves. They fatten their egos upon the sweat of their captives. A practice my own people enjoy far too much. |
| 39169 Pfah! 'Tis nothing wrong with a good and bloody fight, yer clan ringing their cries to the roof in yer support. I've heard of the entertainment here, but ne'er seen it for meself. |
| 39170 Har! Har! Har! Truly, it reminds me o' the time I caught me cousin Kraggor unawares in the chamber with me woman. He were red as a beet and flustered as a bloody hen! |
| 39171 I swore at him, and he ran off with his trousers 'tween his legs, shuffling madly. Har! Har! I had to rip out his innards for it later, o' course, but 'twas funny nevertheless. |
| 39172 Ah, I see. We've interrupted something, I see. Hmmm... Why, aren't you Lord Havrelock? I believe I've seen you somewhere... with Lady Havrelock, I do believe... |
| 39173 Ah! Er... no, no, no... that's not me... or him... or... er... |
| 39174 <CHARNAME>! Don't be so cruel... he... he is just a little human boy! What has he done that you should treat him so? |
| 39175 He's just a boy, <CHARNAME>, who can't do you any harm. There's no need to treat him so harshly, is there? He's just looking for help. |
| 39176 Yer bleeding heart is leaking all o'er the floor, girlie. Staunch the flow, for I can nae stand the smell of it. |
| 39177 By the pits of the Abyss! Ye've agreed to run off into th' bloody forest on the whinings of a whelp, have ye? Have ye lost yer senses? Bah! |
| 39178 There is nothing wrong with a noble task duly undertaken. And perhaps it will be enjoyable to see you in a greener setting, dwarf. |
| 39179 A medium shield is carried in the same manner as a small shield. Unlike the small shield, however, its weight prevents the character from using <PRO_HISHER> shield hand for anything other than carrying the medium shield. Medium shields are usually made of metal, range from three to four feet in diameter, and can be of any shape, from round to square to a dragon's spread wings. A typical medieval shield resembles a triangle with one point facing downward. This is a magical shield. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +3 Weight: 5 |
| 39180 Lovely, just lovely. If ye're plannin' this trip with that one, it be best if ye keeps us apart. I've an aching head already... |
| 39181 I hope you intend to go to this village soon, <CHARNAME>. A visit to greener lands would be welcome after our trek through this crowded city. |
| 39182 We shall go and save the village for the boy! I will crush the evil! All of the evil! Even the small, rodent-sized evil... although that is more Boo's job. |
| 39183 Greetings to you! I hope you have enjoyed your stay at the Ducal Palace. |
| 39184 I'm sorry to hear that you wish to move on, but it's not a great surprise. A <PRO_MANWOMAN> of your profession would not be comfortable cooped up in a castle such as this. |
| 39185 But before you leave, it is my duty to make sure you are prepared for what awaits you in the world of Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. |
| 39186 Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition uses 2nd edition AD&D rules. This might seem overwhelming at first, but I will familiarize you with the basic rules and interface of the game. |
| 39187 We'll begin with the pause feature. Pause the game at any time with the SPACE BAR or by LEFT-CLICKING on the clock at the lower left of the screen. |
| 39188 Unpausing occurs the same way. |
| 39189 Pausing is most useful during combat where it gives you the time to carefully orchestrate your party's next attack. While paused, issue your commands. |
| 39190 When you unpause, your characters will carry out the orders you have given. If you do not use the SPACE BAR, you may find the game very difficult to play. |
| 39191 Why don't you experiment with pausing right now by using the SPACE BAR and giving your character some movement commands? When you have finished, LEFT-CLICK on me to resume our conversation. |
| 39192 My next topic is on how to differentiate enemies from people you want to talk to. Enemies have red circles; people you want to talk to have blue circles. |
| 39193 Interaction with NPCs defaults to Talk for neutral targets and Attack for hostile ones. Talk to neutral characters (identified by blue circles), by LEFT-CLICKING on them. |
| 39194 To attack hostile NPCs, simply LEFT-CLICK on them. If you want to attack a neutral NPC, select a Weapon icon from the bottom of your screen and LEFT-CLICK on the target. |
| 39195 Let's test this out now. LEFT-CLICK on my servant and you will start a conversation. Servant Jospil! Come here at once. |
| 39196 Hey there! Wasn't that easy? What I'm going to do now is turn hostile. My circle will turn red, and then you can LEFT-CLICK on me to attack. |
| 39197 When you press the button, you hear a door slam open in the distance. |
| 39198 There is no point in pressing the button again. |
| 39199 All right then! Let's go... hit me if you can! |
| 39200 Well done! That was a good hit. Belt will talk with you now. |
| 39201 I now want to talk to you about the Inventory page. |
| 39202 You can look at your Inventory page by RIGHT-CLICKING on your character portrait or by pressing the backpack icon on the left side of the screen (hotkey "I"). |
| 39203 Take a quick look at your Inventory page. To get out of your Inventory page, simply press the return to game button at the top left of your screen (hotkey "G"). |
| 39204 Equip items by placing them in the appropriate slots around your character on the Inventory page. |
| 39205 Once equipped, select the weapon by LEFT-CLICKING on the Quick Weapon slot at the bottom of the main gameplay screen. A green box will appear around the weapon that is in your character's hands; an orange box indicates combat mode. |
| 39206 I am going to give you a weapon now, and I want you to try and equip it. |
| 39207 You haven't equipped your weapon yet. Remember, just RIGHT-CLICK on your character portrait and you will find your weapon at the bottom of your screen in your Inventory. |
| 39208 Dedral |
| 39209 Dedral |
| 39210 Key to Aran's Lair |
| 39211 Shadow Thief Prison Key |
| 39212 LEFT-CLICK on the weapon and you will grab it with your cursor. Drag it over to the character doll and LEFT-CLICK again. You can also drag it to a specific slot on your character. |
| 39213 Good job! It's time for us to go upstairs now. Press on the stairway to go there. |
| 39214 When your cursor changes, it means that you are about to perform an action other than moving. |
| 39215 If you LEFT-CLICK on the stairs, your character will walk over to the stairs and move up to the next level. |
| 39216 What's taking you so long? Go up the stairs. |
| 39217 Now to the next part of your lesson: the Journal. I want you to check your Journal. |
| 39218 To assist in recording important information, many details will automatically be entered in your Journal. To access the Journal, LEFT-CLICK the quill icon on the left side of the screen (or press the hotkey "J"). |
| 39219 Entries are cataloged according to the story chapter in which you encountered them. They are also divided up into quests and main story entries. |
| 39220 Main story entries will remain in your Journal forever, and they are a reminder of all of the major events in your character's life so far. |
| 39221 Quest entries are entered in your Journal when a quest begins and removed when the quest ends. The entry then appears in the Done Quests section. |
| 39222 If you check your Journal right now, you will notice that an entry has been placed to remind you to finish combat training. When your training is done, the entry will disappear. |
| 39223 All right then. Now your first combat lesson. My combat teacher, Brevin, is going to be coming right up the stairs. I want you to hit him with your staff, and then check your Journal. |
| 39224 Good job! I want you to check your Journal and see how it has been updated. Check both the Quests and Journal buttons, as they will contain different kinds of information. |
| 39225 Now I want you to check your Map screen. To access it, just click the Map icon on the left side of your screen. This will show a view of the area you are currently in. |
| 39226 Intruders! Disable the guillotines! I need to come through! |
| 39227 Once on the Map screen, you will notice a World Map icon at the top right. LEFT-CLICKING this will take you to the world map, which displays all of the game areas you currently know about. |
| 39228 You may also annotate your Map screen by RIGHT-CLICKING where you want to make a note. Your cursor will change and you can type a short message to yourself. |
| 39229 You've walked right into our web, fool! Take no prisoners! We must protect Aran! |
| 39230 I'll give you a few seconds to try all of this out. Try placing a map note saying "Training level 2." |
| 39231 I can't believe the fools let you through! Ah well... if it takes a torturer to kill you, then so be it! |
| 39232 Another page you might be interested in is the character sheet. This can be accessed by clicking on the head icon on the left side of the screen. |
| 39233 The Record sheet has everything you need to know about your character. You will also find an export button and an information button on this page. |
| 39234 You've been sent by Bodhi, haven't you? Kill that cursed torturer and free me! Booter has the keys! I'll tell you everything I know! |
| 39235 The Export button will export your character for use in a new game. This is NOT a save game, but rather a way of transferring a favorite character from game to game. |
| 39236 The Information screen shows your character's history and combat statistics. |
| 39237 The last icon that you need to know about is the Options icon. You can also find it on the left side of the screen. On the Options screen, you will be able to save and load games as well as modify graphics, sound, and gameplay. |
| 39238 You've been sent by Bodhi, haven't you? Please let me out! I can help you penetrate Aran Linvail's defenses! |
| 39239 Praise Mask! Thank you for freeing me. My former guild isn't as friendly as I had hoped it would be. |
| 39240 Other characters can join you on your adventures. In fact, without companions, you will find Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition almost impossible to finish. |
| 39241 I will now introduce you to Xan, an elven mage. He will join your party and then show you how to memorize and cast spells. |
| 39242 Hello. I am Xan, a mage from Evereska in the north. I am going to join your party and show you how to cast and memorize spells. |
| 39243 My first lesson for you is on how to cast spells. |
| 39244 Select my (Xan's) Cast Spell button, choose a spell, and LEFT-CLICK on your target. My Cast Spell button is the Spell icon on the bottom of the screen. You need to have me (Xan) selected for you to have access to my spells. |
| 39245 You can also configure Quick Spells by RIGHT-CLICKING on a Quick Spell slot. This summons a list of memorized spells to choose. If no spells are listed, the character either does not have any spells memorized or cannot cast until higher levels. |
| 39246 To cast the Quick Spell, LEFT-CLICK on the appropriate Quick Spell slot and then select your target. |
| 39247 I want you to try and cast a spell now. Select any spell in your repertoire and cast it on Belt. |
| 39248 Tizzak |
| 39249 Tizzak |
| 39250 You must be the Tizzak that Bodhi mentioned. |
| 39251 You haven't cast a spell on Belt yet. Select my (Xan's) Cast Spell button, choose a spell, and LEFT-CLICK on your target. |
| 39252 Good job! I am now going to teach you how to memorize spells. |
| 39253 One more thing: Tizzak, an employee of mine, is missing, and the Thieves may have him. Find him, and he may tell you how to access Aran's sanctum. Go now! |
| 39254 Any spellcaster (besides Sorcerers and Shamans) must memorize spells using the Rest button on the left panel after choosing their spells on the Mage Book or Priest Scroll pages. Select the Mage Book or Priest Scroll icon that appears on the left edge of the screen. |
| 39255 Choose the spells you want to memorize and then click on the Rest button. Once your rest is completed, you will have memorized all of your spells. |
| 39256 I want you to try and memorize some spells right now. |
| 39257 You haven't slept yet. You can access your Rest button from either your Memorization screen or your Inventory screen. Or the main screen. |
| 39258 Tell me how to find Aran Linvail or I'll slit your throat! |
| 39259 Good job! I'm now going to teach you how to LEARN spells. I have a Flame Arrow scroll in my inventory. |
| 39260 I am, and well met! I used to be a Shadow Thief until Bodhi recruited me. My loyalty only goes as far as the power of my employer goes. Bodhi has sent you to kill Aran Linvail? |
| 39261 Yes, she has. How can I get to his inner sanctum? |
| 39262 RIGHT-CLICK on the scroll and it will bring you to the Item History screen. On the bottom of the screen, you will find a button that says "Write Magic." Press this and your Mage (me) will now be able to cast Flame Arrow (once I memorize it, that is). |
| 39263 No more questions. I have to get my work done. |
| 39264 You haven't had me learn the spell yet. Remember, just RIGHT-CLICK on the scroll, then on the Write Magic button at the bottom of the Item History page. |
| 39265 They will force this man to fight? Justice is cried for here, <CHARNAME>. We cannot sit idly and allow this to continue! |
| 39266 They're going to... they're going to make him fight a wild animal! Oh no! I d-don't think I can watch this... it's horrible! |
| 39267 Be calm! I want him dead as much as you do. |
| 39268 Good job. Now I'm going to teach you how to identify items. When you find a magical item, you won't automatically know what it does. To find out, you must first RIGHT-CLICK on the item. |
| 39269 Aran's inner sanctum is protected by two magical doors. They can be neither picked nor bashed. You shall have to find a button for the first and a key for the second. |
| 39270 They throw this man into a pit with a wild beast? This is a crime against man AND nature! They will surely feel my wrath for this travesty! |
| 39271 On the bottom of the item's history screen, you will find a button labeled "Identify." LEFT-CLICK on this. If whoever has the item in their inventory has an Identify spell memorized or has an Identify scroll, then the item will be identified. |
| 39272 Bards and very intelligent characters can sometimes automatically identify an item when they pick it up. |
| 39273 The button can be found somewhere to the north, at the end of a heavily trapped hallway. |
| 39274 I have an unidentified shield in my inventory. I also have an Identify spell memorized. I will give you a moment to try and identify the shield. |
| 39275 As to the key, I know not where it is, but I do know that Aran's most trusted advisor is a wizard called Haz. He might have a key if he is in the compound. |
| 39276 I am somewhat worse for wear, so I shall have to take my leave of you. Best of luck, and thanks for saving me. |
| 39277 It is good that you do not trust this piece of rabble, <CHARNAME>. He and his kin are not to be trusted, and we've no time to waste on them. |
| 39278 Have you no compassion for the weak, Anomen? I find this course of action most dishonorable... it leaves a dark taste in my mouth. |
| 39279 Have you no heart, knight? These are men with nothing! And we are in a position to help them! |
| 39280 They are desperate criminals, at the very least, who would trample us if they were actually set free. <CHARNAME> has the right of it. |
| 39281 If I may be so bold as to offer a bit of advice, I will tell you how to get to Aran. |
| 39282 You may wish to reconsider your refusal, <CHARNAME>. This may be a way to overcome the slavers here for good. It is the honorable path, if you are interested. |
| 39283 To the Abyss with the honorable path, druid. We've nae business here, an' <CHARNAME> knows it. |
| 39284 Aye... giving these destitute men their freedom is only the right thing to do. Are you sure we should not trust them? |
| 39285 Now that you know everything about using Mage spells, I'm going to introduce you to a Cleric. Her name is Branwen, and she'll be teaching you how to use Cleric abilities. |
| 39286 I wondered if you might eventually drag yourself over to me. I'm afraid your Mistress Bodhi shall have to remain in her graveyard lair. Your little invasion shall end here and her plans with it! |
| 39287 I think it's the right thing to do, to free these people. I was... once something of a slave myself, locked away in a tiny cage. It... it isn't right. |
| 39288 We are going to free this warrior and his people? This is a task of great honor! We shall be great heroes for this, heroes doing heroic things for all to see! |
| 39289 Greetings and goodwill. I am Branwen, and I follow the ways of Tempus, god of war. I am going to join your party and teach you how to use Cleric abilities. |
| 39290 You cast Cleric spells in the exact same way that you cast Mage spells. I'll refresh your memory in case you've forgotten. |
| 39291 Select my Cast Spell button, choose a spell, and LEFT-CLICK on your target. My Cast Spell button is the spell icon on the bottom of the screen. You need to have me selected for you to have access to my spells. |
| 39292 I want you to cast a spell on Belt now. He is slightly wounded from the other spell you cast on him, so you should use one of my healing spells. Go ahead, cast a healing spell on Belt, or anyone else for that matter. (You can rest to restore a healing spell if necessary.) |
| 39293 You haven't cast a spell yet. Select my Cast Spell button, choose a spell, and LEFT-CLICK on your target. If you don't have a healing spell memorized, then you can rest to memorize it. |
| 39294 Good! Now I'll give you a short overview on how to memorize Cleric spells. |
| 39295 Any spellcaster (besides Sorcerers and Shamans) must memorize spells using the Rest button on the left panel after choosing their spells on the Mage Book or Priest Scroll pages. Select the Mage Book or Priest Scroll icon that appears on the left edge of the screen. |
| 39296 Choose the spells you want to memorize and then LEFT-CLICK on the Rest button. Once your rest is completed, you will have memorized all of your spells. |
| 39297 I want you to try and memorize some spells right now. |
| 39298 You haven't slept yet. You can access your sleep button from either your Memorization screen or your Inventory screen. |
| 39299 Good job. (The spells you have selected will be rememorized each time you rest, replacing any you may have used.) Now, on to another ability. A very important skill to the Cleric class is the turning of undead creatures. |
| 39300 Paladins also have the ability to Turn Undead. Activating this icon will cause many undead creatures to flee or even be destroyed. |
| 39301 When in this mode, the character can move wherever they wish. Any other action, such as attacking or casting a spell, will deactivate the ability. |
| 39302 I am now going to teleport in a skeleton. Try to destroy it using my Turn Undead ability. |
| 39303 You haven't destroyed the skeleton yet; what's wrong? My Turn Undead button is the skull on the bottom of your screen (if you have me selected). |
| 39304 Good job on destroying the skeleton. Now I'm going to introduce you to a surprise visitor. It's your childhood friend, Imoen! |
| 39305 Heya! How are things going? You know, ever since you fought that Sarevok, you're all that the monks back at the keep can talk about. |
| 39306 She and I will be waiting on the next floor, so hurry on up there. |
| 39307 Anyway, I'm supposed to teach you about how to use Thief skills, but only after I join your party. |
| 39308 So anyway, I'll start with the Pick Pocket ability. |
| 39309 To use this ability, you must press the Thieving button on the bottom of the screen. This button obviously won't be there if a Thief is not selected first. The Thieving button is represented by an eye mask icon, which Thieves are occasionally known to wear. |
| 39310 Once you've selected the Thieving button, LEFT-CLICK on the person whose pocket you want to pick. |
| 39311 To give this a try, attempt to pickpocket a gem from Belt's pocket. |
| 39312 You haven't got the gem yet. What's taking you so long? To use this ability, you must press the Thieving button on the bottom of the screen. Once you've selected the Thieving button, LEFT-CLICK on the person you want to pickpocket. Remember: The Thieving button is represented by an eye-mask icon. Steal the gem from Belt! |
| 39313 Very good! Now I'm going to teach you how to detect and disarm traps. |
| 39314 To detect a trap, you must press the Find Traps button on the bottom of your screen. While it's active, any traps in the area that you detect will be highlighted in red. The Find Traps button is represented by an icon of four triangles. |
| 39315 Ervo |
| 39316 Ervo |
| 39317 When in this mode, the character can move wherever they wish. Any other action, such as attacking or casting a spell, will deactivate the ability. |
| 39318 To disarm a trap, you must press the Thieving button. You must then LEFT-CLICK on the red highlighted trap. Watch out! If you fail in disarming the trap, the trap might be sprung. |
| 39319 There is a harmless trap on the west side of this room. I want you to detect and disarm it using my skills. Remember, press the Find Traps button to begin searching for traps. This button is represented by an icon of four triangles. It may take several moments for me to find the trap after I begin searching. |
| 39320 What's taking you so long to disarm the trap? Hurry up! Remember, to disarm a trap, you must press the Thieving button. You must then LEFT-CLICK on the red highlighted trap. The Thieving button is represented by an eye-mask icon. |
| 39321 Good job! You should also know that when you're in Detect Traps mode, you'll also be able to detect secret doors AND illusions. |
| 39322 The next ability you need to learn is the ability to Open Locks. To pick a lock, you must select the Thieving button and then LEFT-CLICK on whatever locked container you want to open. Once again, the Thieving button is represented by an eye-mask icon. |
| 39323 There is a locked chest on the west side of this floor. Use my abilities to pick the lock of the chest and steal the gem inside. |
| 39324 What's taking you so long? To pick a lock, you must select the Thieving button and then LEFT-CLICK on whatever locked container you want to open. Once again, the Thieving button is represented by an eye-mask icon. |
| 39325 Good job! The next ability I'm going to teach you is one of the most important a Thief can do: the ability to be stealthy. |
| 39326 Stoneskin |
| 39327 You will notice that at the bottom of the screen is a Stealth button. Simply LEFT-CLICK the button and your character will attempt to "hide in shadows." The Stealth button is represented by a face half in shadows. |
| 39328 When in this mode, the character can move wherever they wish. Any other action, such as attacking or casting a spell, will deactivate the ability. |
| 39329 I now want you to try and put me into Stealth mode. |
| 39330 All right! Now that we've finished experimenting with Stealth, let's go to the last Thief ability: the Set Traps skill. |
| 39331 To set a trap, you must first access your special abilities. This is done by LEFT-CLICKING the Special Abilities button on the bottom right of your screen. This button has a four-cornered star icon. |
| 39332 When you press the Special Abilities button, it should bring up all of your special skills. One of those skills will be marked "Set Snares." Simply press the button and then LEFT-CLICK on the point where you want to set the trap. |
| 39333 Try setting a few traps. Belt will start you on the next part of your lesson in a few moments. |
| 39334 You've been doing very well. Now I'm going to introduce you to two more party members: Minsc and Jaheira. |
| 39335 They'll be teaching you a few more things, and then it will be time for your last test. |
| 39336 Hello there. I hope you've understood your lessons so far; they'll be of utmost importance when you get into the real world. |
| 39337 Minsc and I are going to join your party and tell you about your remaining skills. |
| 39338 Minsc and Boo! You FORGOT Boo! |
| 39339 Umm... yes, Minsc, I forgot Boo. Okay then, Minsc, BOO, and I are going to join your party and tell you about your remaining skills. |
| 39340 Boo has many pointers on how to adventure. He is a very wise hamster. |
| 39341 You will notice that there is a Special Abilities button on the bottom right of your screen. If you press this, the selected character's special skills will come up. |
| 39342 Different classes have different skills. Druids have the ability to Shapechange, Rangers have the ability to Charm Animals, and Paladins have the ability to Lay on Hands and Cure Disease. |
| 39343 The Bard also has an extra ability, but you do not have to access the special abilities to use it. |
| 39344 When you have your Bard character selected, a harp icon will appear in the middle bottom of your screen. Pressing the button activates the Bard Song. |
| 39345 Bards can inspire their comrades in combat by use of the Bard Song. They are able to move when singing, but any other action will end the song. |
| 39346 Why don't you take a few moments to experiment with our abilities? |
| 39347 You've done a fine job so far, but there is still more to come. You'll notice that when you have a group of characters selected, there is a list of Party Formation buttons on the bottom of the screen. |
| 39348 Just select one of the formations, and whenever you walk your party around as a group, they will walk in that formation. |
| 39349 You can access even more formation types by RIGHT-CLICKING on one of the Formation buttons. |
| 39350 I'm going to give you a little time to experiment with the formation types. Then we'll go to your final test. |
| 39351 All right then. Enough lessonsâ€â€time for the test. |
| 39352 I'm going to allow you entry to the basement now. This is where your final test is to take place. |
| 39353 This man is a great evil if he does such things! The shining blades of goodness must be raised against him! Justice demands a painful, pointy thrashing! |
| 39354 I've... heard rumors about the owner of this place before, but I never thought that the truth went to this extent. This place... is repulsive. We must do something! |
| 39355 Hmph. He could nae be that great a warrior if he were captured, I think. |
| 39356 Aye now, there it is. There be no profit in this. Let us leave the barbarian be, <CHARNAME>... |
| 39357 Bah! Must we listen to such sniveling?! It sickens the stomach! |
| 39358 Aye... and naturally, he shall not put the profits of the inn into depraved entertainments similar to the current ones. Aye, surely we can believe a filthy barbarian. |
| 39359 Such suspicion is misplaced, good knight. Were you on the other side of these bars, I am sure you would feel similarly. |
| 39360 Such a comment is unworthy of you, Anomen. We've more reason to trust this man than to trust you, it seems. |
| 39361 Profit does not lie in coin alone, my brawny dwarf. Let us consider the man's offer, for there may be much that we could potentially gain. |
| 39362 Do not overly concern yourself with the pursuit of precious metals alone, Korgan. There are other matters that we must consider here. |
| 39363 If I wanted t' be listening to a braying mule, elf, I'd go listen to a braying mule. |
| 39364 Ah, a chance to strike at the heart of slavery here in Athkatla. Think of it, <CHARNAME>; you could make a difference, if you wish. At least for a while. |
| 39365 More children kept as slaves! Boo is outraged by the evil that leaps about this city like a hot-footed weasel! We must save the children, <CHARNAME>, we must! |
| 39366 Take on the slavers themselves? On their home ground? I don't know... do it if you must, <CHARNAME>, but don't think it will be easy. |
| 39367 The man's not simply going to confess his crimes. Perhaps there might be some way to get him to allow us access to the entertainments without seeming too... obvious. |
| 39368 The man is guilty without question, <CHARNAME>. I say we expedite justice now and ask questions later. Surely you see the need for this. |
| 39369 Cerebus |
| 39370 Cerebus |
| 39371 As always, <CHARNAME>, I am here to serve you, if but only for a short time. |
| 39372 A thoroughly despicable man... and an equally despicable place. This is the sort of thing that comes naturally with civilization, it seems. |
| 39373 Hah! I would enjoy partaking, as he puts it. I have heard of th' pleasures to be found here... but ye seem nae the type for it, <CHARNAME>, being yellow and such. |
| 39374 Oh! You... you are such a disgusting man! |
| 39375 Your base appetite will be your downfall, dwarf. You have no honor for one of your kind... I am surprised and dismayed. |
| 39376 Do not bait me, knight. I am nae th' one that created such pleasures; I only be th' one that takes what the gods have offered. Be dismayed on that, if ye wish. |
| 39377 Your base appetites will be your destruction, dwarf. I am dismayed that <CHARNAME> has allowed such a creature as you to walk amongst us. |
| 39378 Isn't there always? My cousin Urnist... bad speller, by the way, always been the curse of that particular branch of the family... once owned a tavern that opened up into a pancake factory in the back. Best pancakes this side of the vales, too, and you wouldn't know it if you drank there. Mind you, after the Pancake Famine, things were never quite the same at the factory again. I'll have to tell you about it sometime. |
| 39379 Of course there is. Isn't there always? |
| 39380 <CHARNAME>, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! You cannot be seriously considering such a depraved practice! You are... just looking for information... correct? |
| 39381 I see the desires of the flesh have their way even with you, <CHARNAME>. This is good to see. I was beginning to think your libido as barren as that of a northern monk's. |
| 39382 Pit Fiend |
| 39383 Pit Fiend |
| 39384 Greetings, my <LADYLORD>. I am Madame Nin, and I am here to ensure you are pleasantly accompanied. Are you interested in companionship, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 39385 No, thank you. I am not interested in such activities at the moment. |
| 39386 Well, that depends. How much does this companionship cost me? |
| 39387 I suppose I am. How does one go about arranging this? |
| 39388 I suppose I am. How does one go about arranging this? |
| 39389 I suppose I am. How does one go about arranging this? |
| 39390 Um... perhaps I had best be on my way. Please excuse me. |
| 39391 Greetings, my <LADYLORD>. I am Madame Nin, and I am here to ensure you are pleasantly accompanied. Are you interested in companionship, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 39392 Greetings, my <LADYLORD>. I am Madame Nin, and I am here to ensure you are pleasantly accompanied. Are you interested in companionship, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 39393 Greetings, my <LADYLORD>. I am Madame Nin, and I am here to ensure you are pleasantly accompanied. Are you interested in companionship, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 39394 Greetings, my <LADYLORD>. I am Madame Nin, and I am here to ensure you are pleasantly accompanied. Are you interested in companionship, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 39395 No, she is not! Away with you, foul temptress and purveyor of flesh! You will not corrupt the lady with your filthy business! |
| 39396 I see. Perhaps you should reconsider where you are then... and remember not to bother other customers with your puerile attitude. |
| 39397 Demon Fear |
| 39398 No, he is not. He has no interest in anything you might have to sell, woman. |
| 39399 N-no! No, he isn't! <CHARNAME> has more than enough company, and no need for your... your... filth! |
| 39400 Keep your disease-ridden women well away from <CHARNAME>, seller of flesh, before I flay the skin from your bones. This is your only warning, rivvil. |
| 39401 Nobody knows why we're being attacked... we've done nothing to deserve this. We're not even positive the druids are responsible. They've never done anything like this before. |
| 39402 Druids would not attack a town without cause. It would be a very extreme reaction, <CHARNAME>, and is definitely something we should investigate. |
| 39403 It cannot be! I would sooner tear out my eyes than strike down innocent animals! Well, perhaps only one eye... but do not think me any less incensed! |
| 39404 Jansen Spectroscopes |
| 39405 Ah, the smell of adventure is nigh! Or is that the ale spilled on the floor? You know, come to think of it, there's not too much difference between the two. One usually follows the other, if you take my meaning. Unless you happen to be Uncle Prebar, who took a milk bath both before and after an adventure. Ahhhh, poor Uncle Prebar. If it weren't for those baths, he might still be with us. |
| 39406 Well, nothing... unless you happen to be attempting to sneak through a dungeon filled with hobgoblins and you have a few dozen cats noisily following the smell of sour milk and meowing all the time. Tsk. Well, at least the smell prevented them from eating him. The hobgoblins, I mean, not the cats. |
| 39407 Hmph. Well, the pay best be bloody well worth it if I'm to be wandering through the wilderness, hacking away at bears and squirrels and other such beasties. |
| 39408 I will if I wish to, ye blasted tree-hugging, pansy-eating dirt-lover. I'll bite th' head off a bloody dove if th' thought crosses me mind! |
| 39409 I care not, ye blasted twit! Open yer mouth once more an' ye'll have an axe hilt in it! I'll nae be mocked by forest vermin! |
| 39410 You will not! I will fight to save each and every creature, dwarf! The forest feeds and nurtures, and I will not hesitate to put a birch up your backside! |
| 39411 Why? I have never heard such head-biting villainy, except perhaps in the larger cities, but what passes for entertainment these days is not for me to decide. |
| 39412 Your strange jest is wearing thin, dwarf. I suggest you sate yourself with chicken in the proper place and time, and leave the woodland creatures as they were. |
| 39413 You will not, Korgan. There is a disturbance in nature that we are to restore... I will not have you swinging about, heedless of the consequences. |
| 39414 You may wish to reconsider, Korgan. Doves can carry several diseases, and I wouldn't wish you vomiting and cramps simply for being an ignorant lout. |
| 39415 You're welcome to try, but you are not the only one trained in martial skill. Remember that in the forest, you are in my domain and at an extreme disadvantage. |
| 39416 Why? What's wrong with milk baths? |
| 39417 I almost hate to ask this... what, exactly, is wrong with milk baths? |
| 39418 Why? What's wrong with milk baths? |
| 39419 You insult <CHARNAME>, and you insult Minsc! There will be liberal butt-kicking now! |
| 39420 <CHARNAME>! Surely you will not stand for this slight to your honor! |
| 39421 Oh, <CHARNAME>, is... is this really necessary? Can't you just ignore him? |
| 39422 I thought such childish antics to be above you, <CHARNAME>. But if it makes you feel better, I suppose I cannot stop you. |

| 39427 This ancient tome creaks as you open it. Each page of the Book of Infinite Spells contains a spell described in layman's terms, easy enough for a thief, a cleric, or even a fighter to understand and cast it. Each spell on a page can be cast once per day. A second function of the book is to turn to a different page of the book. This allows for the possibility of getting a better spell. However, once the page has been turned, the previous spell is lost forever unless it happens to appear again. Be warned: Once you turn to the last page of the book, you are stuck with that spell. The spell on this page is: Fireball (Evocation) Level: 3 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: 1/2 A Fireball is an explosive burst of flame, which detonates with a low roar and delivers damage proportional to the level of the wizard who cast itâ€â€1d6 points of damage for each level of experience of the caster (up to a maximum of 10d6). The wizard points <PRO_HISHER> finger and speaks the range (distance and height) at which the Fireball is to burst. A streak flashes from the pointing digit and, unless it impacts upon a material body or solid barrier prior to attaining the prescribed range, blossoms into the fireball (an early impact results in an early detonation). Creatures failing their Saving Throws each suffer full damage from the blast. Those who roll successful Saving Throws manage to dodge, fall flat, or roll aside, each receiving half. |

The spell on this page is: Invisibility (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 2 Range: Touch Duration: Special Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell causes the creature touched to vanish from sight and be undetectable by normal vision or even infravision. Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature detectable. Even allies cannot see the invisible creature or its gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Items dropped or put down by the invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, until the recipient attacks any creature, or until 24 hours have passed. The caster cannot perform any actions that manipulate the environment around <PRO_HIMHER>, such as opening doors, disarming a trap, or opening a chest. The caster can, however, cast defensive spells on <PRO_HIMHER>self and fellow party members. And if <PRO_HESHE> attacks, <PRO_HESHE> immediately becomes visible, although the invisibility enables <PRO_HIMHER> to attack first. |

The barrier moves with the recipient and has two major effects: First, all attacks made by evil or evilly enchanted creatures against the protected creature receive a penalty of -2 to each attack roll. Second, summoned demons cannot target the protected creature. |

Instantly and once each round for 1 turn after this spell is cast, all hostile Illusion/Phantasm spells in the area of effect will be dispelled. The spells that are affected by this are Reflected Image, Invisibility, Mirror Image, Non-Detection, Improved Invisibility, Shadow Door, Mislead, Project Image, and Simulacrum. The area of effect is roughly a 70-ft. radius around the caster. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not come into effect with this spell. This spell only affects enemies; thus, it is unable to dispel the invisibility from a party member. |

The spell on this page is: Spell Turning (Abjuration) Level: 7 Range: 0 Duration: 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 7 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This powerful Abjuration spell causes the spells cast against the wizard to rebound upon the original caster. This affects a total of 12 spell levelsâ€â€including spells cast from scrolls and innate spell-like abilitiesâ€â€but excludes the following: area effects that are not centered directly upon the wizard, as well as area effects that are stationary, such as Cloudkill and Stinking Cloud. As long as the spell is cast directly at the wizard, it will be reflected back upon the caster as long as there are levels remaining. For example, if there is only 1 level left and a 3rd-level spell is cast at the wizard, the spell will be reflected while canceling the Spell Turning. This spell will not protect the caster from Dispel Magic, but it will not be dispelled by Dispel Magic either. |

When casting a Stinking Cloud spell, the wizard creates a billowing mass of nauseous vapors up to 90 ft. away from <PRO_HISHER> position. Any creature caught within the cloud must roll a successful Saving Throw vs. Poison at +2 or be sent reeling and fall down for 1d2 rounds. Those who make successful Saving Throws can leave the cloud without suffering any ill effects, although those remaining in the cloud must continue to save each round. A Dispel Magic will remove the nausea on a particular character, but if they remain in the cloud, then they are still subject to its effects. |

The spell on this page is: Lightning Bolt (Evocation) Level: 3 Range: 120 ft. + 30 ft./level Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: 1/2 Upon casting this spell, the wizard releases a powerful stroke of electrical energy that inflicts 1d6 points of damage per level of the caster (maximum damage of 10d6) to each creature within its area of effect. A successful Saving Throw vs. Spell reduces this damage to half (round fractions down). The bolt begins at a range and height decided by the caster and streaks outward in a direct line from the casting wizard (e.g., if a 40-ft. bolt was started at 180 ft. from the wizard, the far end of bolt would reach 220 ft. (180+40)). If the Lightning Bolt intersects with a wall, it will bounce until it reaches its full length. |

The spell on this page is: Burning Hands (Alteration) Level: 1 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: 1/2 When the wizard casts this spell, a jet of searing flame shoots from <PRO_HISHER> fingertips. The wizard's hands must be held so as to send forth a fanlike sheet of flames: <PRO_HISHER> thumbs must touch each other and the fingers must be spread. The burning hands send out flame jets of 5 ft. length in a horizontal arc of about 120 degrees in front of the wizard. Any creature in the area of the flames suffers 1d3 points of damage, +2 points for each level of the caster, to a maximum of 1d3+20 points of fire damage. Those successfully saving vs. Spell receive half damage. |

| 39443 This hammerâ€â€not to be confused with the elven made Dwarf Throwerâ€â€is only usable by dwarves. In the capable hands of a dwarven warrior, the hammer may be thrown at an opponent. The magic in the hammer draws it back to the hand of its wielder. If it hits an opponent, it does double the normal damage that a hammer would normally do. Against giants and ogres, the hammer does an additional +8 damage due to the special hatred that dwarves hold against these races.

| 39444 A dwarven smith, Silverblade, forged this hammer and two other items: a girdle of frost giant strength and a pair of gauntlets of ogre power. His intention was to gift them to his son, who was then a high officer in the dwarven armies, fighting the giant and ogre tribes of the area. Unfortunately, Silverblade's son died just after the completion of the three items and before they could be gifted to him. In grief, Silverblade himself donned the girdle and the gauntlets. Taking up the Hammer of Thunderbolts, he went to battle against the giant folk. He died valiantly. Alone, the Hammer of Thunderbolts is a powerful magical weapon, but when merged with the gauntlets of ogre power and the girdle of frost giant strength, the hammer is transformed. This transformation requires magical assistance. The Hammer of Thunderbolts is then capable of doing an additional +8 damage as well as instantly killing any giant or ogre that it strikes.

| 39449 This ancient bronze sword is set with six matching bloodstones and was apparently forged for Azoun the First, a long-dead king of Cormyr. It saw little use and eventually found its way to a favored of the king's guards. Despite the aid of its illusionary magic, that unnamed soldier fell in a later battle, and the sword was lost to brigands or scavengers.

| 39450 One of many created in the name of the mage who first discovered how to enchant a blade in this manner, this was the weapon of the outlaw Garno, and many a cleric died at its edge. Garno became disillusioned with the gods when his family was put to the torch by clerics of Loviatar, and spent his life seeking revenge. Despite his focused hatred of the devout, it is thought that one of the gods of chaos had a hand in Garno's acquisition of this sword, delighting in the havoc that followed the young man.

| 39451 This weapon has a bloody history, having been used to exercise its namesake many times.

| 39454 Beroalf was a barbarian who traveled from the cold north in search of adventure. He sought treasures and glory, but soon all he wanted were companions to share in the excitement of battle, much like those he had left behind in his faraway village. Unfortunately, his coarse remarks and rudimentary hygiene repelled most travelers he met, until he expressed his thoughts to a sympathetic mage. The mage, for a price, constructed Ras, the dancing blade. Though not quite what Beroalf had in mind, he was thrilled nonetheless and wielded the sword for many years. How they were ultimately separated is not known.

| 39455 Basalin was a large man, rumored, far from his hearing, to be a werebear. He long wielded the sword Albruin in the protection of his village, slaying giant spiders that plagued the area.

| 39456 This blade belonged to Dabbar, a long-dead servant of Bhaal that exercised control over his minions in the most brutal of ways. In addition to strengthening the mind against the guile of others, the sword absorbs life energy from an opponent with each successful hit, healing the user. Dabbar considered it a failure of his officers if he returned from battle in less than perfect health, and as the rest of the company watched, he would administer beatings until fully healed.

| 39457 Also known as Neversleep, this ancient blade is thought to have been present at some of the most influential conflicts in Faerûn's history. Sightings have been noted as far north as Thay and as south as the jungles of Chult, though documentation is oddly lacking regarding the details. It is perhaps a result of the sword's ability to silence all sound within a large radius, removing the effectiveness of attacking mages but also preventing any discussion that might have followed. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Silence, 15' Radius three times per day (Save vs. Spell at -5 to negate) Duration: 1 turn THAC0: +2 Damage: 1d8+4 (slashing) Speed Factor: 3 Proficiency Type: Long Sword Type: One-handed Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 3 |
| 39458 Dungeon-delving Lehorgan was lucky indeed to discover this Halruaan blade in the ruins of the ancient sorcerer Kullon's haunt, for it would save his life that very day. The ghost of Kullon himself attacked the intruder, but the flames that followed only singed, absorbed into the glowing Bloodbrand. Concealing himself, Lehorgan watched in amazement as the ancient sorcerer tried to divine his location, and again the sword protected him. Surviving this brush with death, the young man used this second chance and the gold from selling the blade to, as he put it, "get the hell out of adventuring."

| 39459 This blade belonged to Ho Mang, a traveler from Kara-Tur who accepted dubious service at courts throughout Faerûn. Skilled in "persuasion," he would use this sword to perform the "Death Of A Thousand Cuts," an ancient ritual from his homeland involving a lengthy series of small, painful incisions. The properties of the blade prevent blood from clotting, and the victim slowly bleeds to death. The sword was stolen, and its whereabouts have been a mystery until now.

| 39460 The benefits inherent in this sword are plain to see: It is exceptionally accurate, and a lick of flame follows every blow, searing the target in addition to the normal damage received.

| 39461 This blade possesses an unearthly splendor, and it is likely that Sune, the goddess of beauty and passion, had a hand in its creation.

| 39464 To enchant a katana is no simple process. Unlike conventional weapons, the katana is already a near-perfect fighting sword. To improve it usually requires a sacrifice, perhaps a dying samurai might beg a Wu Jen to infuse his fighting spirit into the spirit of the katana. The wielder of an enchanted katana, such as this one, must respect the customs of Kara-Tur and of the samurai who once carried this blade into battle. Not doing so could drastically change one's luck for the worse.

| 39465 This sleek katana radiates magical energy when carried. The Malakar, or "Dueling Steel," was used by a less-than-honorable samurai during duels against other samurai. As if of its own volition, it will swoop down and deflect the slashing attacks of other weapons. It is perfect for the warrior concerned about defense as well as offense.

| 39466 The wakizashi, or companion sword, is extremely important to the samurai. It is worn at all times, even indoors, and is near the samurai when he sleeps at night. Wu Jen masters have concealed within this wakizashi great power, unleashed only when the wielder is in the thick of battle. How or why this wakizashi made it to Faerûn is unknown, but if the samurai who owned it still lives, he will certainly be looking for it.

| 39467 The sword of the ninja, the ninjat�, is of lower quality than other Kara-Turan blades such as the katana. The ninjat� is short with a straight blade, making it ideal for subterfuge. The ninjat� is also more suited to fighting in closed places, sometimes giving the ninja an advantage over the longer blades that the samurai use.

| 39468 Saito Kagizu, or "Cat of the East" as the thieves of Athkatla called him, brought several of these ninja swords with him when he arrived in Faerûn. They were part of his personal collection, ninjat� that he either "collected" from rivals or designed himself. When he died, his mistress gave away the swords to her other lovers, all of them powerful thieves in their own right.

| 39469 This scimitar is of rather poor quality, but beneath its surface lies great power and evil. Created for the sole purpose of slaying Harpers, Shazzellim is more than capable of that task. With one strike of the blade, a Bard must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell or die. Crafted by a Red Wizard of Thay, the sword also has the ability to vocalize, which is why it was often given to fighter/mages in the service of the Wizards. Needless to say, possession of this sword would not be looked upon very highly by Harpers. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Vocalize Combat abilities: – Any Bard hit must save vs. Spell at -4 or die THAC0: +1 Damage: 1d8+1 (slashing) Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Scimitar/Wakizashi/Ninjat� Type: One-handed Requires: 10 Strength Weight: 3 |
| 39470 When the hero Trueblood destroyed the Harbinger, a demon gorging itself on the blood of peasant folk near Luskan, he bound its essence in the only vessel capable of holding it, his fabled sword, Deliverance. Though the evil creature was dominated by the will of the semi-sentient blade, it was not truly defeated, and it transformed the weapon from within. Now it acts much like any other enchanted weapon, but when it strikes, there is a small chance that a fireball erupts, a sign that the demon within still rages at its imprisonment. There is also a chance that any ogre it hits will be turned to stone. Whether this is an ability of the demon or a vestigial power of the original blade is not known. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – Fireball: 5% chance per hit that a 10d6 fireball explodes, centered on the target – Flesh to Stone: All struck ogres must save vs. Spell or be turned to stone THAC0: +3 Damage: 1d10+3 (slashing) Speed Factor: 7 Proficiency Type: Two-handed Sword Type: Two-handed Requires: 14 Strength Weight: 10 |
| 39471 A social faux pas placed upstart Andor Licon in a duel with Baron Eeirk, heir to a warrior king. Though they seemed of even skill, Andor grew oddly weaker with each hit of the Baron's family blade. Panicking, he bade his bodyguards kill Eeirk. Despite his claims of morality, some noted that the young noble had positioned his men before the duel was even underway, and though he professed disdain for its dark magic, Andor made a tidy fortune off the sale of the evil blade.

| 39473 The Holy Avenger: Carsomyr Carsomyr is a weapon of legend, perhaps one of the most powerful blades ever forged on Faerûn, though its origin and history is thought purposefully forgotten so that the sword itself shall never overshadow the importance of the struggles that must be fought today. It is infused with the very essence of virtue, and requires as much from any Paladin that would hope to wield it. The evils of the realms must truly stand aside when this weapon is brought to bear, their magic dispelled with a word, steadfastly resisted with ease. Carsomyr also harbors a special distaste for the forces of evil and chaos, and such creatures must fear additional damage from its touch in battle.

| 39474 The title does not refer to the blade itself, but rather to the woman who originally wielded it in the icy hinterlands of Faerûn. Her name was Carerra, and she was a veritable firestorm that swept across arctic trolls and the northern orcish tribes. She was a hated enemy of many a shaman whose magic often floundered against her fury. After a lifetime of raucous battle, it was old age that eventually claimed her. The sword was passed to her granddaughter, an adventurer, who presumably brought it to Amn.

| 39476 The Impaler has a palpable aura of magic that hints at the vicious nature of the weapon and why it has been a favorite of several powerful orc chieftains in the past. When a victim is struck they are, as one would guess, very nearly impaled, run through as the massive enchantment does its dirty work.

| 39478 This heavy mace was created for a very specific purpose: to slay undead. Any such creature hit by it not only feels the sting of the weapon, but also has a chance of being simply blasted from existence. There are legends that speak of a priest so holy a single glancing touch could send a vampire to oblivion, but whether the weapon empowered her or she empowered it is a topic for theologians.

| 39479 This belonged to Ssitalc, an uncharacteristically evil elf known as the Slaver of the Sword Coast. Until his sudden death several years ago, Ssitalc commanded a large force of human, dwarven, and gnomish brigands, using the Sleeper to keep them in line. It has a chance to incapacitate any human, dwarf, gnome, or halfling by inducing deep slumber, though elves are conveniently immune.

| 39480 The morning star is a wooden shaft topped with a metal head covered by a spiked iron sheath. Morning stars have an overall length of about four feet. Enchantments have made this morning star lighter, faster, and far more deadly than a normal weapon of this kind.

| 39481 The large spike at the head of this morning star is actually the lethal stinger of a wyvern. The fighter/mage Sedej created this weapon, using his magical abilities to keep the stinger capable of producing poison. The magic he used has actually made the Wyvern's Tail a living weapon that pulses with life in the hands of its wielder.

| 39483 Jurrg the Mauler was proud chieftain of a northern tribe, but feared he would be the last of his family to lead. His son Kullen was sickly and clearly couldn't meet the traditional requirements of strength for a chieftain. Jurrg knew that wise leadership took more than brawn, however, so he bargained to enchant this mace such that it would cover Kullen's weakness. Who Jurrg made the deal with is unknown, but the cost was apparently high. Kullen came to rule soon after.

| 39486 Ardulia the Agile was a man whose speed and skill at knife play made him exceptionally lethal in battle, and he repeatedly proved it by leading raids on settlements along the Sword Coast. He would often challenge the village leader for possession of the town, and with his speed, the duels were always quickly decided in his favor. Ardulia met his match one spring morn however, when he battled the priest Itgan, who wielded this mace. Ardulia seemed to stagger under each blow, slowing his pace to recoup and regain his breath. Without his speed, Ardulia was lost, and fell to the measured attacks of Itgan.

| 39493 This vicious club was created hundreds of years ago, reportedly by a shaman on a quest for revenge. His family had fallen to undead, and so personal was his rage that he amputated his own leg, using the femur for the body of the weapon. Magical runes empower it, though it is likely the sheer force of the shaman's hatred would have served on its own.

| 39495 Makal of the Pine, a devious druid, carved this club and bonded it with the spirit of his wolverine companion. Like that tenacious creature, Gnasher is a dangerous weapon in the hands of a skilled user. When the club strikes, sharp splinters dig into the victim's flesh, causing extreme pain and even extra damage that continues for some time after the blow. Makal used the club successfully on several occasions, earning the anger of orc loggers threatening his forests.

| 39503 Though hard to verify, it is claimed that the bowstring of this crossbow is made from the hair of a frost giant.

| 39504 Bower Necaradan crafted this masterpiece almost thirty years ago, lacing strong enchantments within both the wood and the string. It is said he only fired it once, just to see if it performed as true as he had hoped. He was reportedly not disappointed, but a local nobleman sought the bow soon after, and it eventually fell into the hands of bandits.

| 39506 A devastating weapon, this crossbow unfortunately draws its power directly from the wielder. Some bowmen have used it regardless, and many to great effect, but the drawbacks must be carefully considered. Its most famous owner, Guil de Lyons, made good use of it fighting bandits in remote areas of Faerûn, but he ultimately fell when he lacked the strength to defend against a rare assailant that got within striking distance.

| 39508 This composite longbow was one of many made by a half-elven craftsman whose name has been lost to history. At one time there were several hundred in use, a favorite of scouts who patrolled the Anauroch desert, but many have been lost or destroyed. Only a few are still known to exist, and they see little use due to the tremendous strength they require.

| 39510 Legends say that craftsman Pinn O'Reffen fashioned this bow from the heart of a treant, though how he came to possess such material is unknown. He certainly did not anticipate the enchantment within, magic that makes the archer's aim almost infallible for a short period every day. Pinn claimed his skill was responsible, but it is more likely that some aspect of the soul of the treant is still within the wood. This bow requires a Strength of 18 to use.

| 39511 This massive bow was the property of the ranger Bearpaw, who reportedly received it from a strangely benevolent ogre. The reason for the gift was never discussed, but he earned the respect of everyone he met, and likely befriended the creature while patrolling the Cloakwood Forest. Bearpaw could draw back the bow without the slightest effort, but when he died it was bequeathed to his wife and sons, and not a one could draw the string even halfway. They eventually sold it to a merchant heading south. STATISTICS: THAC0: +3 Damage: +3 (missile) Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Longbow Type: Two-handed Requires: 19 Strength Weight: 8 |
| 39512 This yew bow is more a work of art than a weapon of war: Fine engravings dance over the polished wood, and the bowstring gleams of gold, almost singing when drawn. This was a ceremonial bow in the Elven Court for a thousand years, though that is scarcely a single lifetime in elven terms. Every 50 years or so it was granted to someone who had performed a great service, the recipient eventually choosing who would hold it next. Two centuries ago, a human, Yin Pon, rescued an elven prince and was gifted the bow, which he carried with him to Baldur's Gate, where it was subsequently lost.

| 39515 The Tuigans are a nomadic people widely dispersed across the steppe regions of Faerûn but bound together by a common bloodline.

| 39516 The thin, frayed string of this bow appears unusable, but when it is drawn, a solid but invisible arrow becomes tangible. The lich Tansheron gave this bow to his Watcher, the guardian of his keep who stood atop a tower with neither entrance nor exit. When anyone approached, down would fall a never-ending rain of phantom arrows until they were dead or fled. How this bow was wrested from the Watcher's hand is not known, but would probably make a great tavern story. Note: Avoid equipping normal arrows on your character, else the bow will fire these instead of the phantom arrows. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – When no arrows are equipped, the bow fires missiles that are treated as +3 for the purposes of determining what enemies they can damage.

| 39517 This longbow is marked with the seal of a sunburst. It probably once was a bow used by guards in the service of the god Amaunator. These guards would use the enchanted bows to keep the priests of that long-dead faith safe. Few of these bows still exist, so they are sought after by many archers looking to improve both their accuracy and their lethality. This bow requires a Strength of 18 to use.

| 39519 None know better than halflings the value of a well-placed stone when confronting a larger foe. This particular weapon was the property of a young woman named Arla Surestep, one of the few small folk that leave the hearth to seek adventure. Legend speaks of the diminutive Arla using this sling to place a well-sharpened pebble through the skull of a green dragon in mid-flight, though the same tale in another tavern places the stone squarely in the creature's hindquarters for more humorous than lethal effect. It would seem that halflings prefer entertainment over accuracy when it comes to their history.

| 39520 This sling is blessed by the halfling god Arvoreen. The weapon was granted to the heroic Tuckerby Lettleworp after the Battle of Moor Road, in which an invading army of yuan-ti were slain by Lettleworp's forces, saving his halfling village. The sling has the ability to rend the senses of the wielder's enemies with a wall of sound said to be the voice of the god himself.

With no missiles equipped, the sling fires magical ammunition in the form of +1 bullets, making it an ideal weapon to use against magically protected foes. It can also fire normal ammunition.

| 39522 If this weapon had a lofty beginning, it has been overshadowed by the exploits of its most famous owner, Hangard the dwarf. Hangard made a habit of trying to knock melons and apples off the heads of comrades. He missed more often than not, due in part to an unfortunate fondness for ale.

| 39523 This axe of hurling is one of the most heavily enchanted weapons of its type. Its markings are vaguely dwarven, but no dwarf yet encountered on Faerûn has claimed a kinship with the maker. This causes some to speculate that it may not be the product of a terrestrial dwarven hand, rather some extraplanar variant. Dwarves laugh this off, of course, claiming the maker likely has no time for nosy scholars.

| 39524 Gulen Rockfire, Slayer of Undead, crafted this powerful throwing axe expressly for reinforcing his claim to his namesake. Blessed by a cross-section of gods, this weapon does phenomenal damage against creatures unwisely rebelling against their deceased status and can potentially destroy them in a single blow. Obviously Gulen no longer carries Azuredge, and it is rumored that he died fighting a powerful vampire years ago, only to rise as one himself. This may have softened his stance regarding the undead, at the very least prompting a change of name.

It is not known where he acquired the weapon, but he took a perverse pleasure in unleashing it upon small folk, particularly halflings. Ice and acid maimed those not killed, and the giant would laugh coldly if he recognized his handiwork from a previous visit.

Yet when wielded and the command word "Sleep" intoned, the tiny dagger glows with a blue nimbus. Upon striking an opponent, the Pixie Prick releases a surge of powerful magic, potentially inducing a deep slumber. Legends say that the ancient sprite knight Alfonso de Noble wielded the Pixie Prick, not as a dagger but as a two-handed sword.

Thorvin had this weapon enchanted at great expense and used it on many occasions, though of dragons only a single white has fallen to it. The Dragonslayers met their match in a cantankerous ancient red who slew the entire group in an epic battle. This weapon did not end up in the beast's hoard, however, as the creature returned to its lair to recuperate and when it emerged, the field of combat was well scavenged.

| 39532 Trying to profit from the strength of greater beings, many years ago the mage Ullion founded a dragon-worshipping cult under the moniker "Son of Drago." Attracting followers with promises of conquest, he sought to secure his authority by enchanting this symbolic weapon for his bodyguard, Jaramor Bold. When the Dragon's Breath strikes an opponent, it releases the harsh flames of a red dragon, the poisonous vapor of the green dragon, the blue dragon's lightning bolt, a spray of a black dragon's acid, and the white dragon's penetrating cold. Unfortunately, Ullion was the first to feel its effects, slain by the ambitious Jaramor, who sought to rule. There was no real power to be had without the mage, so the entire organization soon collapsed on itself.

When attacked, Dominique would unleash the black mist that is this halberd's namesake, potentially blinding all within 10 feet. This often gave him the advantage, for he lived in darkness all his life, seeing only with the inner light of faith. Dominique eventually fell, his body found in a dark forest, slain by a creature of the night even more at home in the shadows than he.

| 39534 Though once a simple halberd, this weapon spent many hundreds of years in a tomb next to the soul phylactery of a powerful lich. The creature was eventually erased from existence, purportedly by another of its kind, but such close proximity to that concentrated evil has imbued this blade with the very essence of night and the chill of darkness, energy that becomes deadly in combat. It is a foul weapon, and a warrior should use it with caution.

Fargon took each snake and with her powerful magic she made a dart of each. She made the dart so that when it strikes its opponent, the snake returns to life, biting and inflicting poison damage on the target. The title Asp's Nest refers to the entire collection of darts, most of which have vanished, either destroyed in use or lost on a long forgotten battlefield.

He was a vagabond whose strong sword arm and keen wits made him a respected general to the Lords of Waterdeep. A gift from Lord Baeron, the armor served Delver well for thirty years, and after his death, it passed to his eldest son. It has since made its way into the hands of a variety of adventurers.

He had hoped to strike fear in his enemies, but Adarius set a grim precedent when he mysteriously died soon after donning the suit, just as every adventurer who has worn it since has done. It might be said, however, that most adventurers die in their armor and are not known for their longevity. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 0 (-3 vs. slashing) Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 27 |
| 39538 Hunting gorgons is a highly dangerous drow sport. Often, after a successful hunt, the blood of the gorgon is taken and used in the creation of a new suit of plate. This special type of drow plate is actually able to withstand the light of the surface world. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Fire Resistance: +15% – Acid Resistance: +15% Armor Class: -1 (-7 vs. slashing) Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 30 |
| 39539 Full plate armor is the best armor a warrior can buy, both in appearance and protection. The perfectly fitted interlocking plates are specially angled to deflect arrows and blows, and the entire suit is carefully adorned with rich engraving and embossed detail. With its magical enchantments, this suit of full plate is ideal for warriors. STATISTICS: Armor Class: -1 Weight: 35 |
| 39540 Not many suits of this armor, originally used by the legions of Unther, remain in use today. The few suits that exist are usually in the hands of rich collectors. Simply finding a suit of this armor is enough to earn an adventurer a small fortune. STATISTICS: Armor Class: -1 (-5 vs. slashing, -4 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 15 Strength Weight: 40 |
| 39541 Few suits of armor in all the realms are the equal of this full plate. All that remains of the origin of the Hart are folktales and legends. The most popular of these is that an impossible battle was once fought against an army of orcs surging through the Three Trees Pass. Arngor of the Oak led the armies of men and elves, and it is said that he dueled with the orc commander till the sun set and the land was bathed in a bloody mist. Finally the orc fell, but Arngor had sustained wounds too vast for any to save him. His blood soaked through the armor he wore, infusing it with his courage and nobility. Thus the Armor of the Hart became known to men. STATISTICS: Armor Class: -2 (-6 vs. slashing, -5 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 15 Strength Weight: 45 |
| 39542 In his aging years, Baron T'rachie coveted the wife of the lowly foot soldier Libol. Instead of openly pursuing her and causing a scandal, he instead created this suit of armor. He gifted it to the soldier. This armor's curse sickened Libol and hideously disfigured him, and his wife fled from him in disgust. Libol, trapped in the armor but not certain of T'rachie's treachery, asked to be sent to the wastes for a dangerous tour of duty against marauding ogres. He never returned, and Baron T'rachie was free to pursue Libol's widow. This armor is cursed and requires powerful magic to remove. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Constitution: -2 – Charisma: -5 – May only be removed with a Remove Curse spell Armor Class: -2 (-5 vs. slashing) Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 35 |
| 39543 Dragon scale armor is light of weight, strong, and resistant to fire. Because of these properties, it is much sought after, but finding, let alone slaying, a powerful ancient dragon is near impossible. It is usually easier to search for an existing suit, such as this one. One should be careful wearing it near dragons, however, particularly red ones.

| 39547 A clever thief, Damien Oneknife always tried to gain from the assets of his enemies, no matter the circumstances. After an intense battle with several ghouls in which two of his companions perished, Damien decided to even the odds in future encounters. He skinned one of the undead creatures and brought the hide to a halfling armorer talented in enchanting leather. When the suit was finished, it was magically protective against physical attacks and paralysis. Not very epic perhaps, but practical. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Save vs. Death: +3 Armor Class: 4 (6 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 4 |
| 39548 Originally blessed by Shar, this armor has a long and interesting history. Only the greatest of thieves have ever owned this heavily enchanted armor. The essence of night has been woven into the dark set of armor so that it feels like normal armor but encloses the wearer in a mass of twisting shadows. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Hide In Shadows: +20% Armor Class: 3 (5 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 5 |
| 39549 This is the standard armor given out to griffon riders and other warriors who use mounted steeds. It is lightweight but offers good protection, especially with the extra magical protections crafted upon it. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 5 (3 vs. slashing, 4 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 8 |
| 39550 This ghastly armor was taken from an orc camp destroyed by barbarians. Instead of standard metal rivets, like normal studded leather, this orc leather is instead laced with hundreds of fire-hardened bones. Finger bones, ribs, and skulls cover the armor, acting much like the traditional metal rivets. Powerful orcish enchantments give the armor special resistance to missile attacks, but the repulsiveness of the armor reduces the wearer's Charisma. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Charisma: -1 – +10% resistance to missile damage Armor Class: 4 (2 vs. slashing, 3 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 7 |
| 39551 Enchanted ebony rivets adorn the black leather of this armor. Umberlee the Sea Queen granted this armor to Dami Darn, a rogue who slew the conjurer Looxil. The assassination pleased Umberlee, for Looxil had betrayed her in years past. Dami Darn died years later, a knife to the back from her successor in the thieves' guild. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 3 (1 vs. slashing, 2 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 7 |
| 39552 This armor's namesake is a serpent only in manner, referring to the drow assassin Raroh. Poison was his trademark, and when he discovered this suit's susceptibility to venom, he gifted it to Avlorm, a promising novice assassin within his own guild. When Avlorm's power eventually threatened his own, Raroh easily dispatched him, thanks to the weakness of the armor he still wore. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Save vs. Death: -2 Armor Class: 2 (0 vs. slashing, 1 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 6 |
| 39553 This suit of armor is formed from interlocking shadow dragon scales. Elegant workmanship and practical considerations make this armor both beautiful and useful.

| 39554 This heavy and thick bear hide is all that remains of the fabled Aeger. Several hundred years ago, the Aeger, a giant bear, terrorized hundreds of small villages up and down the Sword Coast. The bear was invulnerable to fire, cold, or acid. Finally the young men and women of several villages banded together, forming a militia almost two hundred people strong. The Aeger was surrounded and finally slain. Less than a dozen villagers survived, and they carved the Aeger's hide amongst themselves. Out of one of the pieces this armor was created.

| 39557 Whether by design or through exposure to intense heat in battle, the chain links of this armor are coal black throughout. While legends usually speak of knights in shining armor facing great beasts, the fire resistant enchantment on this suit suggests equally great, if unheralded, battles with fire-breathing creatures. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Fire Resistance: +20% Armor Class: 2 (0 vs. slashing, 4 vs. crushing) Requires: 8 Strength Weight: 9 |
| 39558 Friends of Dekirh Fasthands, a bard who insisted on playing the rowdiest towns on the Sword Coast, gave him this suit of magical chain as a gift. The chain mail was given to protect Dekirh from the drunken spectators who often threw rotting produce, chairs, and even knives at Dekirh. The bard appreciated the gift but painted it with wild colors to better fit into his show. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 1 (-1 vs. slashing, 3 vs. crushing) Requires: 8 Strength Weight: 8 |
| 39559 The dark red metal used to make this chain is said to come from a hidden mine in the Cloudpeaks.

STATISTICS: Armor Class: 0 (-2 vs. slashing, 2 vs. crushing) Requires: 8 Strength Weight: 7 |
| 39560 The delicate yet sturdy craftsmanship of the elven races allows them to design many beautiful yet utilitarian goods. Among these is elven chain mail, which is so finely wrought that it can be worn under normal clothing without revealing its presence. This and its lightness allows it to be worn by Thieves and Fighter/Mages with few restrictions. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Open Locks: -5% – Find Traps: -5% – Pick Pockets: -20% – Move Silently: -10% – Spellcasting is not disabled Armor Class: 5 (3 vs. slashing, 7 vs. crushing) Requires: 5 Strength Weight: 7 |

| 39562 This light but strong mail is of sylvan elf construction, and therefore its elegance is only exceeded by its rarity. Normally granted only to especially brave elves, seldom is this armor be found outside of a wood elf tribe, and rarer still on someone not of elven lineage.

| 39563 The Bards of Melody were a small band of half-elf bardic warriors who entertained and defended scattered elven communities throughout Calimshan. Enchantments allowed only minstrels to wear their armor, the magical links sliding together to produce beautiful melodies as they danced or fought. Unfortunately, the Bards of Melody were disbanded hundreds of years ago, and the secret of "playing" the armor faded with them.

| 39564 The lore of this suit is difficult to determine, either due to the exotic circumstances from which it sprang or the wish of its previous owner to conceal its location. Secrecy would certainly be desirable, as even rumors of such a mail as this could provoke deadly interest. It is the pinnacle of elven craft and a truly blessed item.

| 39565 Instead of metal strips, this armor uses wyvern scales bound to a chain backing by means of a magical fire. The resulting armor is ash-gray in color and more flexible than standard splint mail. A ranger, Usher Skacan, made this armor after slaying several wyverns that were killing all the deer and elk in his forest. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 2 (0 vs. crushing, 1 vs. piercing and missile) Requires: 8 Strength Weight: 18 |
| 39566 This was the armor of Seffer Ekr, and a sign of the goddess Mielikki's favor. She had rewarded the ranger's loyalty with the promise that he would never die in battle, and he defied death for many years, holding orcish hordes back from his home forest. A heart attack claimed him when his time was done, not an enemy's blade.

| 39568 The mad necromancer-lich N'Ashtar Nikadeemus forged this helmet from the bones of his own parents. His highest ranked general would wear it when he rode into battle, using it to instantly slay the commanders of the opposing army. After that, the skeletal armies of N'Ashtar would overrun their demoralized enemies. When N'Ashtar finally fell, the Skull of Death was supposedly destroyed.

This pale green ioun stone now holds these essences, and grants the owner Trueblood's health and skill. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – THAC0: +1 – Hit Points: +10% Weight: 0 |
| 39572 The skillful hand of the warlock Wormsor carefully worked several dragon scales into this powerful helmet. Red, white, and green scales overlap, protecting the wearer from normal blows as well as fire, cold, and electricity. It is hard to determine whether the benefits originate within the scales or the spells of the mage.

| 39574 A century ago, astronomers noted an unexpected comet coming to earth offshore of the Sword Coast. An odd occurrence, it was made stranger by the lightweight fragments of metal found days later by blacksmith Huffum Fuiruim, who cared little about celestial events. He fashioned the bulk of it into this shield, though the forging took months and the aid of several enchanters. "From the heavens? Nay, from my hammer!" STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +5 Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 3 |
| 39575 This shield, as tall as a man, is aptly named. With it, Phil Pious, a paladin of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, once held a marauding battalion of hobgoblin and kobold archers at bay till they exhausted their arrows. As the shield is almost as useful in melee as it is at range, he then slew each and every creature. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +4, an additional +7 vs. missile attacks Requires: 15 Strength Weight: 3 |
| 39576 Thought only a decoration from some forgotten festhall, this shield languished in the backroom of a shop until a young noble purchased it as parade armor. Its dormant enchantments were discovered when a later attempt on his life was foiled, as the shield reflected each attack back at the would-be assassins. Subsequent study has linked it to Myth Rhynn or perhaps some other ancient excavation. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 – No protection against missile attacks – Reflects missiles back at their user Requires: 4 Strength Weight: 3 |
| 39577 Audn of the Field, Knight-Champion for the wizard Kekkim, carried this shield for most of his life. It protects the bearer from most forms of mind control, a benefit for a wizard who needed warrior allies to stay faithfully at his side. Both Kekkim and Audn have long since returned to the earth, leaving the shield to whomever might recover it from Kekkim's tower. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +3 – No protection against missile attacks – Immunity to charm, confusion, domination, and hold Requires: 4 Strength Weight: 2 |
| 39578 This odd shield was constructed by nomads that once inhabited the forest of Mir, a group long since absorbed into "civilized" society and forgotten.

| 39580 A standard magical shield given to elite troops and bodyguards, this particular shield is relatively new. Forged recently by Taerom Fuiruim of Beregost, this shield has few stories to tell.

Unfortunately, all the women that Fisfnilt found were not up to the standards set by Ewnin, an impossibly spoiled man.

Few were willing to drink the vile liquid, however, and decades later a student of Huhhus created this ring by building upon the foundations of knowledge laid by Huhhus. Within the hollow cavity of the jade ring floats the ichor and brains of a troll, providing a limited regenerative capability to the wearer.

| 39601 Derek Drak, one of the most talented burglars in the Shadow Thieves' guild, wore this ring on many of his scores. The ring enhanced Derek's already impressive lockpicking abilities. In the city of Athkatla, there wasn't a door that could not be unlocked by Derek. To activate the ring, the proper command word must be known, at which point the garnet stone on the ring will polymorph into the shape of a key that closely fits the lock.

Nizzuf posted a reward big enough to buy a kingdom to the man or woman brave enough to enter the maze and reach its core. Thousands tried and died. But one, Oteg Verm, completed the maze, thanks mainly to this ring which let him "see" where the traps were hidden. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Detect Traps: +25% Weight: 0 |
| 39603 Baron Tiri of the North commanded ten of these bracers to be made, one for each of his bodyguards. The Baron thought it amusing when banditsâ€â€thinking them easy targets for they wore no armorâ€â€would attack him and his men as they made excursions across the land. The Guards of Tiri swiftly dealt with the would-be attackers. Of course, Baron Tiri himself never wore a set of bracers, and it was this unfortunate oversight that led to his death at the hands of an assassin's poison dagger. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: 5 Weight: 2 |
| 39604 Sometimes known as Gauntlets of Chain Mail, these bracers were first worn by Tapid Gornoak. He was still an active warrior at the age of seventy-five, but the weight of his armor was getting harder and harder to bear. A companion, the sorceress Nadalarin, created these bracers for him. She also cast a permanent illusion over him so that his men would think he still wore his heavy chain. Tapid died twenty years later, his hands wrapped around the neck of an orc chief when old age took him. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: 4 Weight: 2 |

With his skill, charm, and bravadoâ€â€no man other than he would joust without armorâ€â€he soon became a favorite to the ladies that watched the events. Too much of a favorite, it would seem, for one afternoon he was caught frolicking with a knight's betrothed. A challenge was issued, but in his rush, Glen forgot to don his bracers. Glen died with a confused grin on his face as the knight's sword struck him, never knowing his own folly. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: 3 Weight: 2 |
| 39606 Knight Wesic of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart often said, "Attack swiftly and your enemy will be so overwhelmed that the battle will be yours." He lived this principle through these bracers. Before engaging in righteous battle, he would unlock the magic of the Blinding Strike and quickly rush at his enemy. More often than not, his opponent would fall within the first few seconds of battle.

| 39607 A few years back, Fong Moo, a famous cutpurse known in both Baldur's Gate and Athkatla, was found dead on the road between the Gate and Beregost. Seems he'd stolen an artifact from a powerful mage and tried escaping, with little success. His possessions went to a nephew, who took up the same trade as his uncle and became especially good at pickpocketing. Whether these gloves were magical before falling into Fong's hands or if they are somehow imbued with the master's essence is not known.

| 39608 Foik Morur demonstrated the effectiveness of these gloves at a community fair near Beregost several years back. He paid a local Archer to fire arrows at him. As the arrows approached, Foik's hands would move of their own accord, either knocking the arrow away or catching it. He earned more than a few pieces of gold for his troubles, and these earnings attracted some shadowy figures to Foik's tent that evening. The next morning, Foik was found dead and the gloves missing.

Overconfident in the protection offered by this amulet, Kaligun finally died when he foolishly ambushed three high-level Red Wizards who lowered his Magic Resistance before destroying him with their spells.

| 39614 Dydaar'a of the Altered was a witch of great temper who rewarded the slightest insult with harsh punishment. Often this meant several weeks transformed into some form of wild beast, which of course earned her many enemies. It is recorded that she once fought a mage named Maxell who had previously suffered such a fate. For his return, he had prepared this necklace, designed to prevent her changing his form, but he could not shield those around him as well. Apparently an impromptu army of farmers-turned-bears eventually overwhelmed him. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Save vs. Polymorph: +5 Weight: 3 |

| 39616 Only those with a gambling streak dare use this wand in battle. When triggered, it is, at best, unpredictable and, at worst, suicidal. The whimsical mage Malimak created it as a gift for a rival, though more as a prank than with hurtful intent. The recipient's reaction is not known, though Malimak relocated shortly thereafter. It should be used with caution, or not at all. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Random effects appear each time the wand is used. Weight: 1 |
| 39617 This rod acts as a magnet, drawing magical spells of any nature (priest or wizard) into itself. It then nullifies their effects. The magic absorbed must have been directed at the character possessing the rod. To activate this absorption ability, the user must use the wand, after which time they will be protected for 4 rounds or until the absorption disappears. The rod will absorb nine levels of spells (and can defend against spells up to 9th level in power). Each use of the rod expends one charge.

Each time the rod is used, one or more charge may be expended. STATISTICS: Weight: 3 |
| 39619 Also called the Wrath of Three Kings, though not associated with any named king in particular, this rod was likely made in 1090 DR. It saw use during the Battle of the Bones, but for which side is uncertain, as it was found amongst the dead after a larger skirmish. Three buttons unlock the rod's magic: The first transforms it into a fearsome enchanted mace; the second, a hypnotic flaming blade; the third, a barbed spear. Only warriors can properly use its exotic mix of weaponry. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – This rod may transform into any of the following weapons when used. Each weapon may also change back into the rod at will.

Any creature hit by the rod must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell or flee in terror, fearing the wielder as if he or she were a flesh-eating demon from the Abyss. There is a drawback to using this rod, however: Each time the rod is used, there is a 20% chance that the wielder loses one point of Charisma permanently.

| 39626 Torm is said to manifest these items during times of great trouble, granting them to priests who care for the wounded, diseased, and poisoned.

| 39627 This type of staff is thoroughly linked to the image of the spellcasting profession, rare though it is. It is among the most powerful tools that a wizard can possess, the culmination of complex enchantments and endless study. This particular example is good in melee, grants invisibility, and offers protection from charms and evil. It can also cast Spell Trap and Dispel Magic and launch a Fireball-Lightning Bolt combination. The quintessential Mage item.

| 39628 A mage's staff is far more than just a gilded walking stick, most being enchanted to an impressive degree. This one is no exception, and whoever the previous owner was, they were powerful indeed. It enables a mage to better escape hostile magic and avoid physical blows, and can erect a Globe of Invulnerability (one charge). Offensively it can be used in melee very well, and cast a Lightning Bolt (one charge).

| 39629 There are stories that tell of these staves sprouting in the growth around druid groves when the forest is threatened. Fanciful tales, but truth or not, this staff is a powerful tool. It draws energy from storms, and there is a chance that any blow might trigger a thunderclap that knocks enemies down. It casts Lightning Bolt, and if circumstances warrant it, it can summon a lightning storm to blast enemies to dust. Some abilities are limited by charges.

| 39630 Known only as the "Wild Man of the Wood," the man that carried this staff was a legendary figure near Trademeet until the day he died and returned to the soil. Those who saw him remember his dark, bark-like skin, a feature that would fade if the staff were set aside. He would harass irresponsible loggers and poachers, and old-timers tell of mercenaries chasing him with a dozen hunting dogs or more. The animals seemed ready to rip the poor druid to pieces, but he quickly turned them on their former masters. Rushing forward in hopes of ending his influence, the men-at-arms saw the final power of the staff, and as the vegetation trembled with the "Wild Man's" magical calling, there formed a green, rotting mix of life and death that shambled overtop of the terrified soldiers, killing them all.

| 39631 Staff of Air This staff seems to draw from elven artistic traditions, though tied less to the forest than is usually customary. It was apparently designed to control air elementals, being able to summon one as a servant to the wielder and potentially destroying creatures of the same type in a single blow. When necessary, it can also spawn a cloud of gas, causing anyone within the area of effect to fall into a deep slumber. Some effects are limited by charges.

| 39632 Linked to the Plane of Earth, this staff may have been fashioned by an ancient druidic sect. It can summon an earth elemental, though it also has the potential to slay such creatures in a single blow, possibly hinting at how difficult it is to control them. It can also free a person from the earth by casting Stone to Flesh. Some abilities are limited by charges.

| 39633 This staff bears an ancient rune that may link it to the wizards of faraway Halruaa, but it is impossible to be certain. Drawing from the Plane of Fire, it can erupt in a Fire Shield that damages attackers, it can summon a Fire Elemental under the control of the wielder, and it can potentially draw all the energy from any fire elemental that it hits, destroying them instantly.

| 39634 The simplest of staff weapons is the quarterstaff, a length of wood six to nine feet in length. High quality quarterstaves are made of stout oak and are shod with metal at both ends.

| 39636 There was a time when magic was distrusted even more so than now, and the burning of "heretics" was woefully common. Delmarey, a witch from the swamplands near Myth Rynn, faced just such a fate when she was blamed for an unseasonable drought. Taken by surprise and sentenced by a mob, she was put to the torch in the village square. With her dying breath she uttered a foul curse, fueling the fire to an unstoppable magnitude. By dawn, the entire village was reduced to black coal, save the burnt remnant of the pole Delmarey had been bound to. This staff has been imbued with some remnants of Delmarey's power, making it a highly enchanted weapon.

These giants rescued Stewart and raised him as their own. It soon became apparent that the boy, no matter how hard he tried, could not compete in the family rock-throwing contests. The stone giant father bartered with a local wizard for this girdle, which made Stewart as strong as his brothers and sisters. When Stewart met an untimely end, the girdle was stolen away.

| 39644 These modified boots of speed were originally intended to boost the wearer's speed rating to even greater rates: They make the wearer as fast as if a Haste spell had been cast upon someone wearing normal boots of speed. Unfortunately, the wearer cannot attack, and the strain of rushing around so fast quickly tires even the most stalwart of heroes. Their nickname is "Heel of the Coward," for that summarizes their most obvious use: running away. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Double-strength Haste spell – Unable to attack or cast spells Weight: 3 |
| 39645 Why these boots were ever made has long been the subject of speculation among the sages of Candlekeep. Some suggest that a certain noblewoman was gifted them by an ethereal lover so that she could join him for a tryst. Others simply point out that the boots are useful for any mage to become intangible to attacks while devastating an opponent with offensive magic.

| 39648 For a sewer-dweller like Ivan, survival meant going where others refused. Hiding from thugs, Ivan went so deep into the sewers beneath Baldur's Gate that he found natural caves, some of which opened to the ocean. Within one cave, Ivan discovered what he thought was a ruined cloak, all torn and stained. He tossed it into the fire he started, but it would not burn. Curious, he donned it, and with some prying, he discovered its hidden abilities. With the right command, he could shift into a rat, a troll, or a mustard jelly.

It takes a day to recharge the figurine. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Summon Kitthix once per day Range: 20 ft. Duration: 1 hour The spider can phase during combat. It can also use its Web Tangle ability, which sprays a stream of webbing at one target. If the target fails its Save vs. Spell at -2, it will be held by the webbing for 2 rounds.

| 39657 The origin of this item is tied to a melancholy ode popular in human taverns, about a young elven boy lost in a great wood. A spirit supposedly befriended him, providing companionship through the astral hound summoned by this figurine, but the boy eventually succumbed to loneliness anyway. Critics may ask how an elf could get lost in his own wood, but that and other discrepancies have not stopped the story from being retold. The item's real history has been buried beneath the fiction.

The Horn of Blasting was his first and only attempt at taking the theoretical magical knowledge to create a practical new technology.

| 39671 In the twisted court of Azlaer, a bizarre ritual was enacted every night of the full moon. Within Azlaer's massive palace lay a courtyard open to the sky above. This courtyard housed a large pool full of man-eating sharks. For amusement, Azlaer would invite well-known citizens from nearby towns to his estate for an evening of dining and entertainment. This entertainment consisted of Azlaer playing this harp, the effects of which removed any fear from his guests. Randomly, Azlaer would single out a guest and have him or her walk into the shark-filled pool. When in a particularly sadistic mood, Azlaer would first toss in blood, inciting the sharks into a frenzy that ended with the death of the helpless guest. Devotees of Helm finally lashed out against Azlaer and his cruel practices, destroying the estate, slaying Azlaer, and appropriating the harp for more beneficial uses.

| 39672 In a valley far from most civilized lands, there once was a tiny kingdom called Chilldion. One winter evening a trio of evil witches overtook the valley and imprisoned the royal family by casting spells of holding upon them. The witches planned to eat the family one by one. Later that evening, the witches were exhausted after a hard day of slaying innocents and desecrating the palace, so they called for the court bard to play them a song. Methild the bard was loyal to his king and the king's family and so he used the special powers of his magic harp. As he played, he focused his attention first on the king. As the song played on, the spell of holding upon the king dissipated, and the noble liege slowly crept away. One by one Methild freed his patrons, being careful to keep the witches' attention drawn his way. Finally, once all the family was free, the bard could play no longer and the witches saw his treachery. Poor Methild, unlike his lieges, did not escape and was served on the supper table in their place. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Dispel hold-like effects three times per day Range: 25 ft.

| 39689 As you are told, but by who? Employers that cloak themselves in shadow, disguising their motives. Do you know any less of me? |
| 39690 And how do you choose which evil to destroy? You do seem to overlook whichever is convenient to do so. Take your employers, cloaked in shadow, hiding intentions. |
| 39691 I know about many things: about you, your employers, what they intend. Can you say as much? Do you truly know these people cloaked in shadow? |
| 39692 You will say anything to try and talk me out of this. I will not listen. |
| 39693 You must know I will view anything you say now with great suspicion. |
| 39694 You will say anything to try and talk me out of this. I will not listen. |
| 39695 You must know I will view anything you say now with great suspicion. |
| 39696 You will say anything to try and talk me out of this. I will not listen. |
| 39697 You must know I will view anything you say now with great suspicion. |
| 39698 You may believe what I say or not; I have little concern about the matter. It would seem you are determined to make a nuisance of yourself regardless. |
| 39699 Tell me, have the Shadow Thieves done more than promise? Have they delivered anything, or have they simply made certain you are always within reach? |
| 39700 I imagine they are confused as to what their goals are. Have they said why they sought your service? Why they offered to help you? |
| 39701 Their service has not come cheaply. I have paid more than enough for it. |
| 39702 I don't care. I will take advantage of what they offer and then move on. |
| 39703 Perhaps they have some sympathy for my plight. The rescue I wish is a worthy cause. |
| 39704 Just keep quiet and wait. |
| 39705 Have you? Was the gold so important to them? Or were you being observed, your capabilities mapped and charted? |
| 39706 And is your ego so great that you think yourself the only one capable of such a plan? What use are you, do you think? |
| 39707 Perhaps it is worthy. Perhaps your goals are golden, but I doubt very much they are as much a concern to others as they are to you. |
| 39708 Ask yourself what you bring to the equation. Gold? Gold is never in short supply for long. Service? Possibly, but there are others that would serve as well. |
| 39709 Do they really? Are you certain? What if their interest in you was more than simply mercenary? What if they knew full well who you are... and what you are? |
| 39710 Say what you must, and be quick about it! This will only end in battle anyway! |
| 39711 And what would you suggest? That I join with you instead? |
| 39712 I trust them because it is convenient to do so. They know little about me. |
| 39713 Cloak of Reflection |
| 39714 Vorn Druidslayer crafted this cloak and used it with great success in his campaign to eliminate the druids from all the woods south of Baldur's Gate. His campaign ended abruptly when he encountered a flock of wyverns, who were attracted by the cloak's sheen. They killed Vorn and used the cloak to cover their nest, serving to protect their young during electrical storms.

Its true enchantment becomes apparent when the wearer is attacked directly by magic, and all damage caused by spell effects is returned to the caster.

| 39717 Oh no, I am quite sure this will end in violence. You are too volatile for my purposes. I merely wondered if you knew the extent to which you were being used. |
| 39718 No one uses me! The Shadow Thieves know as much as I choose to tell them! |
| 39719 The Shadow Thieves seem to be honest in their dealings so far. |
| 39720 You look surprised. I know what you are, child of Bhaal. Irenicus told me. He might have learned more, awakened your power, but the Thieves interrupted him. |
| 39721 Fledgling Vampire |
| 39722 Only one spell sequencer may be in use at a time. |
| 39723 What do you know of Irenicus?! I owe him a debt for what he has done! |
| 39724 What do you know of my capture?! |
| 39725 I know more than your brain could hold in a lifetime. There is so much beneath your nose, so much you do not see. Why, even Imoen escaped your notice. |
| 39726 Imoen was taken from me! I will find her! And I will find this Irenicus! |
| 39727 This Irenicus did not seem the type to have anyone close to him. Why were you there? |
| 39728 What did he want with us?! What power did he speak of?! |
| 39729 You might have done both were circumstances different, but now I am afraid there is only one possible end to this discussion. |
| 39730 I was there because I chose to be, the duty of any good "sister." Of course, you are not familiar with such virtues since those around you fail at them so terribly. |
| 39731 Perhaps you are asking the wrong person these questions. It is irrelevant now, of course, as you will not be leaving here alive. |
| 39732 I grow tired of this conversation. You have asked your questions and made your threats, and I have indulged them both. Now this will end. |
| 39733 Good! I am so sick of wordy opponents! |
| 39734 There is more I should ask. You could shed so much light on my situation. |
| 39735 So you are to destroy me? Has this Irenicus lost interest in me then? |
| 39736 There will come a time when you understand the value of words. Of course, battle can teach as well. Come then, let us each learn a thing or two. |
| 39737 I do not believe I have ever been accused of "shedding light." No, I am not here as teacher, though battle educates well. Come, let us both learn a thing or two. |
| 39738 There is much to be learned through duress. Such a curiosity you are. Come, let us both learn a thing or two. |
| 39739 But Irenicus was taken at the same time Imoen was. Should we not work together? |
| 39740 Irenicus allowed himself to be overcome in his rage. He has recovered and is no one's prisoner. Your Imoen is not as strong, though I am told she has... potential. |
| 39741 There is much to learn about her, and you as well. Battle will be my laboratory. Come, let us both learn a thing or two. |
| 39742 Well, that certainly was... educational. I have seen enough, and I am done with you... for now. |
| 39743 You'll not walk away from me so easily! |
| 39744 What manner of creature are you? Is this all a game to you? |
| 39745 Crawl back to your master then. I will see him soon enough. |
| 39746 Oh yes, yes, I will. I see no reason to finish this here. You can still be useful to Irenicus where he is. Fight on; I have seen what I have come to see. |
| 39747 Perhaps, but games can be deadly serious, especially when I keep the rules to myself. Fight on, and seek your lost Imoen; I have seen what I came to see. |
| 39748 Oh, I am not crawling away for fear of your wrath. By all means, coddle, develop, and direct it. Fight on, and seek your lost Imoen; I have seen what I came to see. |
| 39749 Stay back! If you come in this cell without the planar prison key, the defensive magics will destroy you! |
| 39750 There is a chance for failure when trying to learn a new spell. Failure means that the scroll is used up and the Mage does not learn the spell. I will not fail with this one, but in the real world, your Intelligence stat will determine whether you succeed or not. |
| 39751 You have our thanks for destroying our collars. If you are in search of the newest captives, you can find them in the northwest part of the complex. Perhaps they will have a way to save us from this forsaken prison. |
| 39752 Stricken by a foul disease |
| 39753 As though on the wings of pigs, I have been granted a fanciful tale of daring and danger amidst the wood. Are you the servants of the wild who have restored the balance to this place? |
| 39754 Hello, and well met to you. I am Cernd, though my identity is surely no secret after the fuss I have caused here. |
| 39755 Well, I take it that your grim visages are to be my escorts to whatever fate the merchants have decided upon? I have feared your coming. |
| 39756 Hello again! Have you come here on business, or just to sample the rich beauty of nature? I find myself doing much of the latter as Verthan has handled the transition to leadership very well. |
| 39757 This is the land of merchants, good friend... a veritable paradise for those with coin. |
| 39759 Cured! Cured of my wretched condition! Degardan, I owe you my health, wealth, and well-being. I am reborn! |
| 39760 Your words baffle, though I am certain some insult has taken place. Keep your distance from this one, Boo. He is definitely unstable. |
| 39761 Those dwarves that attacked usâ€â€I read about them when you were skipping out of lessons back in Candlekeep. |
| 39762 Please, hurry to the keep and find Daleson. Iâ€â€I don't have anything else to tell you for now, unless... unless you want me to come with you. |
| 39763 If that is what you wish... it will be safer than waiting here. I will wait outside by the palisade. |

| 39770 It is done... isn't it? *sigh* But... what is left for... My father dead, my home in shambles... Someone put these creatures up to this... but... but who...? |
| 39771 Aye now... so you're the <PRO_MANWOMAN> whom Mistress Nalia has brought to help us, eh? Well, you've got your work cut out for you, sure enough. |
| 39772 And just who might you be? |
| 39773 Why? What exactly happened here at the keep? |
| 39774 Do you know how I might get access to the keep? |
| 39775 Well, I'll be going, then. |
| 39776 I am Captain Arat, garrison commander under Lord de'Arnise... until the trolls drove us out. Those you see here are all that survived. |
| 39777 Oh! There was something else as well! I don't know if it will help, but I'd best tell you anyway. The big troll, he's got a whole pack of nasty-looking monsters that dig like mad. |
| 39778 *sigh* Mistress Nalia may be all the family has left. I tried to find Lord de'Arnise and his sister, but I could not. Nalia may be the last. |
| 39779 Can you tell me what, exactly, happened here? |
| 39780 Do you know how I might gain access to the keep? |
| 39781 Why? What will happen if Nalia dies? |
| 39782 Well, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 39783 Has Mistress Nalia not told you? We were beset by trolls and yuan-ti two tendays ago... had tunneling beasts with them, so we were attacked from above and below. |
| 39784 'Twas little that could be done, truly enough. We fought room to room, barricading ourselves in when need be. To the last man we fought, practically. |
| 39785 Once Lord de'Arnise disappeared, it was hopeless. I tried to find him, but there was naught to be done. Leading what few soldiers remained out was battle enough. |
| 39786 The trolls and those yuan-ti have shut the keep up tight. I'm hoping they will merely demand ransom for our lord... but my hope has been quickly dwindling. |
| 39787 If you can do as Mistress Nalia asks and rid the castle of the vermin, we'd be mighty grateful. As would Lord de'Arnise... if he still lives within. |
| 39788 Who might you be, that you are leading these men? |
| 39789 Do you know how I might gain access to the keep? |
| 39790 Well, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 39791 Nalia has told you of the secret entrance, has she not? 'Tis to the north of the palisade here, hidden in the wall of the keep behind some bushes. |
| 39792 I should have told you previously, but others abandoned me when they found out. We are beset by trolls. The main assault began just a few nights ago. |
| 39793 Lord de'Arnise knows of it... I've been watching to see if he escapes and uses it to flee. But I've not enough men here to attempt any kind of rescue. |
| 39794 The trolls and yuan-ti have shut up the gate... the secret entrance is the only way in. Best be careful. If they know about it, there'll be no end of trouble for you. |
| 39795 And just who might you be, then? |
| 39796 What, exactly, has happened here? |
| 39797 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 39798 Just be sure you've acid or fire at your disposal. Trolls will not fall to anything else. May the gods go with you. Take these arrows; they might help. |
| 39799 Pfeh! Then the land will fall to the family Roenall. Despite her objections, the Mistress Nalia is betrothed to a Roenall, and they will use that to lay claim. |
| 39800 I've no wish to work for them, however. They be a family of a distinctly cruel bent. I could not take it after serving an honorable man for so many years. |
| 39801 What can you tell me about what's happened here? |
| 39802 How do I gain access to the keep, then? |
| 39803 Well, I'll be on my way. |
| 39804 Hmph. So you be the vagabonds Mistress Nalia has brought to aid us. Hehhh... I suppose we cannot be choosy now. I hope the young lass knows you better than I. |
| 39805 And just who are you? |
| 39806 What do you know about what's gone on here? |
| 39807 There's a way into the keep... where is it? |
| 39808 If I'm here to help, then you'd best keep your snide comments to yourself. |
| 39809 I'll be going. |
| 39810 Aye. True enough. You have my apology, <SIRMAAM>. But I'll trust you plenty more if you actually do decide to aid us. |
| 39811 Just who are you, then? |
| 39812 What can you tell me about what's happened? |
| 39813 Where is the way into the keep? |
| 39814 I'll be going, then. |
| 39815 As you wish. Anything you could do would be appreciated. Make sure you have acid or fire at your disposal, though. Trolls will not fall to anything else. |
| 39816 The Mistress Nalia is dead? Surely you can take her to be raised? Please do so, for without any knowledge of her father's fate, her survival is most vital. |
| 39817 I'll do that after I've finished this business in the keep. |
| 39818 Very well... but raising her from the dead isn't cheap. |
| 39819 Why? Why is it so vital? |
| 39820 It is not right that we should have so much simply because of our breeding. The peasants deserve what extra I can give. They serve well and deserve dignity. |
| 39821 I'll do that right now, then. |
| 39822 As you say, then. Had she told you of the way into the keep? The secret entrance lies in the wall north of the palisade here, hidden behind some bushes. |
| 39823 If you could do what you can, then do so... we would all appreciate such assistance. But return quickly, good <MANWOMAN>, for much is at stake. |
| 39824 That is true. I've no coin to offer... but the Lord de'Arnise has coin aplenty. If he be dead, the Mistress Nalia can reward you herself, once the keep be retaken. |

| 39826 Then I shall complete this business with the keep... and raise her afterwards. |
| 39827 Why is it so vital she be raised? |
| 39828 I shall go right now, then. |
| 39829 Why? Aside from the fact that she is a young innocent, she is dear to the heart of my lord. And if he be dead, she is the last of her family true. |
| 39830 I will not see it used as such again. There is no excuse. How did they... Daleson, did you tell these beasts of the cellar? |
| 39831 Despite her wishes, Nalia be betrothed to the Roenall family... a wealthy house renowned for their cruelty. I've no desire to work for such as them. |
| 39832 I will finish this business with the keep first, then, and raise her later. |
| 39833 I'll go and do that right now, then. |
| 39834 Go, then... and return quickly, for much is at stake. |
| 39835 It doesn't sound like it'd be worth the trouble. |
| 39836 You've a heart of stone. She be a young innocent and the last of her line. I shall take her body to place in her family's tomb... once we gain access to it. |
| 39837 It doesn't sound like it's worth the trouble. |
| 39838 That's too bad, because raising her sounds like too much trouble. |
| 39839 If you've no wish to aid her, or us, then begone... there be too much at stake here to deal further with the likes of you. |
| 39840 It is a tragedy the young lass be dead. Her father will be grieved to discover it, if he yet lives. Might you... finish the task that Mistress Nalia bade you? |
| 39841 Yes, I will see what I can do. |
| 39842 No, I've other things to do. |
| 39843 I am relieved... perhaps the lass was right to go to you. Go, then... the secret entrance lies to the north of the palisade here, hidden behind some bushes. |
| 39844 Go within and pay a terrible vengeance upon the creatures for the lass. Find the Lord de'Arnise and Lady Delcia, if you can. May the gods go with you. |
| 39845 Then begone. If you'll no longer help the lass or her family, I've no time to deal with your ilk. |
| 39846 You have not finished the task yet, I see... is there something more that you need of me, good <MANWOMAN>? |
| 39847 I want to know who you might be. |
| 39848 I would like to know about all that's happened. |
| 39849 Tell me where the entrance to the keep is again. |
| 39850 No, thank you. |
| 39851 A terrible business, this, my lady Nalia. I... I did all I could to find your father. I hope he remains well within. |
| 39852 I hope he is too. My new friends and I intend to find out and ensure that my home is cleared. Don't worry, Captain Arat, you'll be back at your post in no time. |
| 39853 Remove Magic |
| 39854 I am worried about your father, not regaining my post... but I hope you are correct. Take care within, Miss Nalia. Trolls can only be dispatched with fire or acid. |
| 39855 It is... it is very sad that this has happened to your father. I... I shall serve wherever I am required, my lady. |
| 39856 You have destroyed the soldiers and performed your task... but with the Lady Nalia dead, you have only delivered us to the Roenall family, who will take this keep. |
| 39857 I... I hope that the lord died well. And that he shall rest in peace with his daughter and wife at his side. Fare you well, good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 39858 The Mistress Nalia is dead? And her father too? Then... you must take her quickly to be raised. She must be restoredâ€â€it is most vital! |
| 39859 Why is it so vital? |
| 39860 Very well... I will do so immediately. |
| 39861 Raising the dead is not cheap, you know. |
| 39862 Forget it... I've done what I came here to do. You raise her. |
| 39863 Why? Aside from the fact that she is a young innocent, she was dear to the heart of my lord. And as he is dead, she is the last of her family true. |
| 39864 My lord... betrothed her to the youngest of the Roenall family. The Mistress Nalia did not approve, but the betrothal exists yet. |
| 39865 If the lady is not restored, the Roenalls will use the betrothal to take the keep away. They are... a cruel family. I would not wish to serve under such people. |
| 39866 Perhaps Lady Nalia has different ideas, I know not... but she will have to be raised for us to find out. |
| 39867 Raising the dead isn't cheap, you know. |
| 39868 Very well... I will go and do this now. |
| 39869 Forget it... I've no need to involve myself in any more of this matter. Raise her yourself. |
| 39870 You are correct. But if you did not find the coin within the keep, I have none to give you. I am sure that Lady Nalia would repay you had she the ability to speak. |
| 39871 Why is it so vital she be raised? |
| 39872 Very well... I'll go and get her raised. |
| 39873 Forget it... raise her yourself. I've other things to do now. |
| 39874 You've a heart of stone, then. I'll take her "troublesome" body from you, and... somehow... we shall raise the money to restore her. |
| 39875 If you've no further desire to help, then begone. There is much we need to do. For freeing the keep, at least, I thank you... |
| 39876 I am most thankful! Please do so quickly before a Roenall decides to come and claim this place as their own! |
| 39877 You have my sincere thanks for all you have done. The Lady Nalia shall reward you suitably. It is... sad, however, that my poor lord died during this attack. |
| 39878 I feel most sorry for the lass. If you are good friends, I trust you will keep her occupied before the funeral. |
| 39879 I can barely believe that we got out of the keep alive! So... so many of my fellow guardsmen were killed... slaughtered... |
| 39880 The trolls were so strong! And more often than not, even after we would strike one down, they would get back up again! You... you have to use fire... or acid... to kill them once and for all... |
| 39881 I cannot believe that the lord and his sister still live within... They must be dead, they must! And... perhaps that would be a mercy... |
| 39882 Why have the trolls chosen to attack us? Why here? It makes no sense... what do they want?! |
| 39883 We are grateful for all that you have done... you have destroyed the beasts that have murdered our lord. |
| 39884 I am at your command, Mistress Nalia. |
| 39885 Hold! How did you get in here?! Who are you?! |
| 39886 I think I could ask you the same question. |
| 39887 I am <CHARNAME>... I have been hired by Nalia to clear out this keep of its invaders. |
| 39888 None of your business, fool. |
| 39889 I... I have remained to guard the Lady Delcia. We... we have been barricaded here for days! |
| 39890 But I will listen to no more until I know... are you friend or foe?! |
| 39891 I am a friend... I have been brought here by Nalia to save this keep. |
| 39892 I'm not going to answer that. |
| 39893 I'm not about to trust anyone I see in this castle... foe it is! |
| 39894 Oh! Thank the gods! You... you cannot believe how relieved I am to see you, then. Not only have I been barricaded in here, fighting against trolls... |
| 39895 (...but you cannot BELIEVE the audacity of this woman! The Lady Delcia is the lord's sister... and she is a... a trial, to say the least! I have been tempted to strangle her myself more than a dozen times!...) |
| 39896 ...er... I suggest you speak to the Lady Delcia further. She will decide what to do, I suppose. (...and it will be the first break I've had from her in days...) |
| 39897 Then I must protect the lady yet again. Have at you, then! |
| 39898 I will stay with the Lady Delcia, where she decides to go. This is my duty, and I can help you no more beyond this. (...despite what a pain in the behind the hag has turned out to be...) |
| 39899 Hold! How did you Mistress Nalia! Is it... is it really you?! |
| 39900 I barricaded us in here to protect your aunt, my lady. I have fought few trolls... I think they are not interested in either of us. What they are doing, I cannot say. |
| 39901 I will go where your aunt goes. I have sworn to protect her, and I have maintained my oath thus far. It is... it is just... |
| 39902 ...well... yes... |
| 39903 Hendron? You're alive! What are you doing here? |
| 39904 We are here to deal with the invaders, Hendron, and save whoever remains. I... am glad Aunty is still safe. Will you go to the palisade with her, Hendron? |
| 39905 Aunty is a real pain, huh? |
| 39906 Don't worry. I'll talk to her. |
| 39907 For the glory of my new master, whose sorcery has shown me the way, I shall destroy you! |
| 39908 G-glaicus? Is that you? Oh no, <CHARNAME>... he must be charmed! He's one of my father's most loyal guardsâ€â€he would never do this otherwise! |
| 39909 (Uhhh...) Wh... what's going on? What's happening here? |
| 39910 Here is the problem as I see it. My father... had regular dealings with the Roenalls, though at times I am sure he viewed them with as much distaste as I do. |
| 39911 All others are treated as dirt. My father had dealings with them, but he was not like them. They tolerated him because of his wealth and willingness to conform. |
| 39912 You were charmed, I believe, by the trolls... |
| 39913 Yes... yes, I remember now. It was... it was horrible! Oh, thank you so much for freeing me from that enchantment! |
| 39914 You... you must find the leader of the trolls... TorGal, I believe his name is. You must find him and kill him! If he falls, the rest of his minions will flee. |
| 39915 I am afraid that I do not know where he is, though... or where Lord de'Arnise is, exactly. I... I wish I did. But I think I do know something that might help you... |
| 39916 My father earned his living while others squandered. The Roenalls sought to increase their links to him through marriage. They are powerful, and he reluctantly agreed. |
| 39917 Lord de'Arnise was looking for a flail that belongs to him... it was disassembled long ago and the heads spread throughout the keep. I was helping him search when we were captured. |
| 39918 He said it had powers of flame and acid and the like... things that would have aided us greatly against the trolls had we found them in time. I... have the first of the heads with me, still... you may have it. |
| 39919 I cannot thank you enough for releasing me. I... I would help you, more, but I simply cannot face them again. I... I wish you well... |
| 39920 I propose a partnership, in secret of course, wherein you assume title to this place. You will become the figurehead of the keep, and I will be a ward of sorts. |
| 39921 The troll leader is dead? That is... that is good. I must find Captain Arat... and see if anyone else is alive here. P-please... excuse me... |
| 39922 You have known us for so short a time, yet you have bought our freedom with blood. My child, my friend, it is a debt I can never repay... |
| 39923 Accept? No, they could not do much. It is not uncommon for a fighting <PRO_MANWOMAN> to take possession of a keep once the lord of the manor is... is dead. |
| 39924 Ring of Vampiric Regeneration |
| 39925 Naught but your strength of... character. It's not uncommon to take over a keep once the lord is... is dead. The heirs must merely declare it so. |
| 39926 This will benefit us both! You gain status while my home is maintained as befits my father. It is not uncommon to take over a keep when the lord is... is dead. |
| 39927 We can leave, though you are welcome to inspect or organize as you see fit. The servants will return this place to order. Again, I thank you. |
| 39928 If my rights to control of my father's dealings are void, then why are the conditions that built those dealings not? Do you plan to release control of the keep to me? |
| 39929 I take it that my job here is done? Am I free to leave now? |
| 39930 I cannot ease your pain. I have done what I could, but there is little else for me to do here. |
| 39931 I feel as though my work is not done. I could not save your father, and I am sorry. |
| 39932 Sorry that I can't stick around to figure it out. You did say something about a reward? |
| 39933 I have done what I can. Might I expect a reward? I do not mean to appear crass. |
| 39934 Oh, of course. You have done just as asked, and I wish you well. I will see what there is to pay you and then I will... I will... oh no. Might I ask you to... |
| 39935 No, no it is foolish to think such things. I will pay you and return to the life that I must. |
| 39936 Speak, Nalia. I will lose no sleep wondering what you might have said. |
| 39937 What is it? There is no harm in asking. |
| 39938 It is the matter of what is to become of me. My... my father, lord of this place, is dead. In the circles of nobility, the title of lord falls to the male heir. |
| 39939 So you obviously want me to assume the role. A marriage of convenience perhaps? |
| 39940 I would assume the role if I could, but obviously I cannot help you in this matter. |
| 39941 And what is it that you wish of me? |
| 39942 I know little of such things. Speak your mind and speak it plain. |
| 39943 What? Oh no, no, no, nothing like that. Goodness no. Perish the thought. Really. That would cause no end of scandal. |
| 39944 I intend to leave. There is little else for me here. I am... betrothed to a brat of a man, who will certainly try to usurp control of this place from me. |
| 39945 Perhaps it's best just to leave. My father always said you could tell a person by their actions, not their possessions. Quaint, but it will help me sleep at night. |
| 39946 You do not wish to fight for your home? Is there nothing I can do? |
| 39947 You are welcome to accompany me if you wish. They will not trouble you on the road. |
| 39948 I have no need of your company anymore. You will have to do what you can here. |
| 39949 Hostility would only bring soldiers. They are not criminals, just repugnant. If you were more a fighting sort, you might serve as figurehead, but you are not. |
| 39950 No, I should leave. Could I seek sanctuary in your adventuring company? I yearn to go out among the needy and help them. Life was so sheltered here. |
| 39951 You can seek sanctuary with me, if you like. The road is a hard life though. |
| 39952 I only wanted to have you in the group until your keep was freed. You should leave now. |
| 39953 Good, then. I will go with you. It will be sad to see this place go to bad use, but I've no choice. I will not serve the Roenall family in their snobbish deals. |
| 39954 There is little hope for my future. I will be pampered until I am what I hated. Go then, and live your life of adventure. I will waste away here. |

Enraged at being disturbed, the mages unleashed a score of Magic Missiles at the seemingly helpless Derek, but to their brief surprise, the assault reflected back and killed them both. Thereafter, without having lifted his blade, Derek was rather sheepishly known as Derek the Red Slayer.

| 39958 If you find the other two heads, you could assemble the weapon. Lord de'Arnise and I were heading to the hidden forge. He said it was behind a secret door in the armory on the keep's first floor. That might be a good place to look. |
| 39959 If you enter the castle, there is one way that my men and I can assist you. If you lower the drawbridge from inside, we can draw out the enemy and engage them... |
| 39960 That will give you the time to search for Lord de'Arnise and Lady Delcia. I suggest you get to the courtyard and open the drawbridge as soon as possible. |
| 39961 It's an offer, anyway... I dislike the idea of sitting out here while someone else goes within and takes all the risks. But you are free to do as you wish. |
| 39962 That's an excellent idea! Thank you, Captain Arat; you have served my father well. <CHARNAME>, we should open the bridge quickly when we've entered. |

| 39976 Missy |
| 39977 Greetings to you... Your Grace. I, ah, understand from Mistress Nalia that you are to be the new proprietor of the keep and the surrounding farmlands, yes? |
| 39978 Yes, that's right. |
| 39979 Very well then, I am the majordomo of the castle, or at least, I served as such under Lord de'Arnise. I am certainly willing to serve you in the same capacity. |
| 39980 I can vouch for him, <CHARNAME>. He's served my family for a long time, and well... and there's nobody else, really, who can do his job around here anyway. |
| 39981 I can vouch for him, <CHARNAME>. He's served my family for a long time, and well... and there's nobody else, really, who can do his job around here anyway. |
| 39982 As the lady says, I suppose. I run day-to-day operations in the keep, handling servants and any minor problems that occur with the farmers or others on your land. |
| 39983 I also ensure that taxes are collected and kept in the coffers here. If you wish to change taxes from how they were under Lord de'Arnise, just tell me. |
| 39984 A large amount of the coin will go into rebuilding the keep's depleted force of men-at-arms and into maintaining the keep and its staff. |
| 39985 But I estimate you will still gather, say, 500 gold pieces per week. If you wish to access that, you have but to come to me. |
| 39986 As for the major decisions, well, I suggest you return at least every couple of weeks. If there is anything critical, a runner will find you if they can. |
| 39987 There is... nothing that requires immediate attention. The servants will be cleaning up, and I am sure funeral arrangements have yet to be made for Lord de'Arnise. |
| 39988 Have you... any questions, then? |
| 39989 Is there no money in the coffers right now? |
| 39990 I would like to raise extra taxes... I am in need of coin right now. |
| 39991 So... the keep is all mine, then? |
| 39992 How big is this land, anyway? |
| 39993 No, I don't have any questions. |
| 39994 Hmm... the trolls took a lot from the keep, as far as I can tell. Unless you found some of these things while you were, ah, recovering the keep, there is nothing. |
| 39995 But if you wait a week or so, the crops in the farmlands will start making profit. As I said, 500 gold is the average that Lord de'Arnise gathered through taxes. |
| 39996 I would like to raise extra taxes... I am in need of coin right now. |
| 39997 So... the keep is all mine, then? |
| 39998 How big is this land, anyway? |
| 39999 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 40000 If... if you wish, I can certainly arrange for a levy to be applied. The men can gather the funds quickly and have the coin here... but, ah... |
| 40001 The people won't stand for much in the way of extra taxes right now, <CHARNAME>... we've just gotten over an invasion by trolls, remember? |
| 40002 Er, yes... that. The people will... do as you say, of course, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, but they cannot afford much. Are you... sure you wish to do this? |
| 40003 ...the people have just recovered from invasion. They will do as you say, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, but they can't afford much. Are you... sure about this? |
| 40004 Yes, of course. |
| 40005 No, I suppose not. |
| 40006 Yes, of course. |
| 40007 No, I suppose not. |
| 40008 Yes, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, all yours, as Mistress Nalia stated. A few servants remain, and some new ones have been hired. You are free to explore as you will. |
| 40009 Is there no money in the coffers right now? |
| 40010 I would like to raise extra taxes... I am in need of coin right now. |
| 40011 How big is this land, anyway? |
| 40012 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 40013 Well, I am sure you have seen the keep itself. You will also lord over a large area of surrounding land. There are no settlements per se, but there is rich farmland. |
| 40014 Lord de'Arnise always got on well with his people, as did most of his forebears. It is peaceful here... usually. You should have little problem, I would think. |
| 40015 Is there no money in the coffers right now? |
| 40016 I would like to raise extra taxes... I am in need of coin right now. |
| 40017 So... the keep is all mine, then? |
| 40018 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 40019 As you say, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>. I am sure you can find your bedroom if you wish to stay the night, and arrangements can be made for your friends. |
| 40020 Lady Nalia, of course, shall remain here in her old quarters. If you wish to speak to her, I am sure you will be able to find her there. |
| 40021 And... and Lady Delcia... ah... |
| 40022 If you need anything else of me, then, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, do not hesitate. I can usually be found here in the audience chamber. |
| 40023 I most certainly will NOT stay here! You cannot expect me to spend another minute in this place with these... these... ruffians! |
| 40024 You... you've done it? They're all dead? What of... what of my father? Is he well? |
| 40025 I am sorry, no. I was not able to save him. |
| 40026 Dead. Sorry about your luck. |
| 40027 Dead... he is... |
| 40028 I'm sorry, I must take a moment to collect myself. You have been most kind. Please, let me pay you what I can and then... and then... |
| 40029 Oh no... ah, I don't suppose I could convince you to remain here for a while? I really need... no, no, it is my own problem. I'll deal with it as best I can. |
| 40030 It's a very awkward situation, and I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to deal with it. I don't have much choice though, now that Father is gone. |
| 40031 Say your piece, Nalia. I'll not lose sleep wondering what you might have said. |
| 40032 There's no harm in asking, whatever it is. |
| 40033 That may be so, dear niece, but that does not mean <PRO_HESHE> possesses any noble blood to rule this land. I would sooner see an acceptably noble Roenall rule here than this... this... imposter! |
| 40034 I am betrothed, you see. Yes, some powerful associates of my father roped me into that tired custom. I am to wed a brat of a man named Isaea Roenall. |
| 40035 Do not think you truly rule here, <CHARNAME>. Proper noble hands will return. I consider my home to be no better off than when it was occupied by the trolls. |
| 40036 I think Father regretted it, but that is the way wealthy families gain status in business. He seemed quite willing to stall the inevitable, but now he is gone... |
| 40037 Aunty! <CHARNAME> saved our keep from being overrun by trolls! And <PRO_HESHE> is helping keep our home from being taken over by the Roenalls! |
| 40038 The Roenalls, mainly Isaea, have been pressuring. They knew I was the only heir, and traditionally titles fall to a male. I fear Isaea will take control and abuse our wealth. |
| 40039 Aunty! <CHARNAME> saved our keep from being overrun by trolls! And <PRO_HESHE> is helping keep our home from being taken over by the Roenalls! |
| 40040 Regrettable. What is left for you to do? |
| 40041 Yes, yes, very sad. What is required of me? |
| 40042 I have worked to forge a relationship with those beneath me, but it will not continue with the Roenalls in power. They are snobbish, snooty, and oh so arrogant. |
| 40043 I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>... it's... it's my right to do as I wish with the land, and I trust you. She'll get over it. I'll be in my room, if you need me for anything... |
| 40044 I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>... it's... it's my right to do as I wish with the land, and I trust you. She'll get over it. |
| 40045 Poor Nalia, coddled in wealth. Yes, that would be horrible. What is it you want?! |
| 40046 Not the type of person I would associate with either. What can I do? |
| 40047 I need a way to get out of the betrothal, and I need to do it soon. They respect the old traditions, and I think I know a way to use one to our mutual advantage. |
| 40048 You wish a marriage of convenience then? Seems logical to me. |

| 40052 I could kill this man. It would solve your problem in a timely manner. |
| 40053 Speak on. What is it you are proposing to avoid the proposal? A disappearance? |
| 40054 Speak on. What is it you are proposing to avoid the proposal? A disappearance? |
| 40055 Oh no, no, no, nothing quite so distasteful... er... scandalous as that. That would be laughable. No one would believe that for a second. |
| 40056 No, no, I don't think he is villainous enough for that. No, he is merely morally repugnant, not criminal. At least to my knowledge. |
| 40057 No, what I really wish is to take advantage of an old tradition, where a fighting soul would become the lord of a manor once the current lord had passed on. |
| 40058 Actually, I wanted to come with you. My father... my father always told me that possessions were fleeting... happiness mattered more. Let the Roenalls come. |
| 40059 You are versed in combat; you would be an impressive obstacle to Isaea. I ask that you assume title to the keep. You will be a figurehead, and I will be a ward of sorts. |
| 40060 It is my right as heir to choose who shall lead. I do not know if I could stand before the Roenalls, but you, with your... erh... talents, would prove a daunting figure. |
| 40061 The Roenalls would accept this? I find that hard to believe. |
| 40062 And what would I have to do to assume this role? What would be needed of me? |
| 40063 To be <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>. I like the sound of that. |
| 40064 You are just trying to saddle your troubles on me! |
| 40065 They will complain, but there is no real reason why you could not do this. Often a fighting soul will take possession of a keep when the lord is... is dead. |
| 40066 Please, this will ensure that the Roenalls do not take control of my home. They are oppressive nobles and will not direct this place in a way that will honor my father. |
| 40067 Just your strength of... er... character. Often a fighting <PRO_MANWOMAN> will take possession of a keep once the lord is... dead. It is a matter of the heirs declaring it. |
| 40068 As well you should, and it is a natural progression. It is not uncommon for a fighting soul to take possession of a keep when the lord is... is dead. |
| 40069 Please, this will benefit us both! You will gain status, and my home will be safe. Often a fighting <PRO_MANWOMAN> will take possession of a keep when the lord... is dead. |
| 40070 It will be an honor to guide this place through its troubles. I shall strive to see it flourish. |
| 40071 I'll take your offer, and damn those that stand in our way. I'll see this place run proper. |
| 40072 I cannot accept. There are others that would suit it better, I am sure. I am sorry. |
| 40073 I'm not having anything to do with this. Find yourself another stooge. |
| 40074 Wonderful! Now they can't force me out. You are master of this place, within reason. I remain the sole heir and can take away what has been given. |
| 40075 But... very well then. I will remain here to do what must be done. This is exactly what the Roenalls want. I hope you're happy with the misery you leave behind. |
| 40076 Shall we go? No need to wait around, though you are welcome to organize the place as you see fit. The servants will return this place to order. Again, I thank you. |
| 40077 If you were a warrior of some sort, we could have abused some traditions and installed you as <PRO_LADYLORD>. Ah well, it does not matter. Will you have me in your group? |
| 40078 You do not wish to fight for your home? Is there nothing I can do? |
| 40079 You are welcome to accompany me if you wish. They will not trouble you on the road. |
| 40080 I have no need of your company. You will have to do what you can here. |
| 40081 Hostility would only bring soldiers. They are not criminals, just repugnant. If you were a warrior, you might serve as figurehead to reinforce my hold, but you are not. |
| 40082 No, I should leave this place. I would seek sanctuary in your company, if I might? I yearn to go out among the needy and help them. Life was so sheltered here. |
| 40083 Then there is little hope for my future. I will be pampered here until I become what I have hated. Go then, and live your life of adventure. I will waste away here. |
| 40084 Good then. It will be... a sad thing to see this old place go to bad use, but I have no other choice. I will not serve the Roenall family in their snobbish deals. |
| 40085 You can seek sanctuary with me, if you like. The road is a hard life though. |
| 40086 I have no need of your company. You will have to do what you can here. |
| 40087 Have you given any more thought to my offer? Time is short, and... I do not know how long I can stall the Roenalls. |
| 40088 Yes. If you are still willing, I will lend my name to this place as its <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40089 Yes, you are welcome to travel with me and flee the snobbish boors that would spoil you. |
| 40090 No, my mind has not changed in regards to this matter. |
| 40091 Err... I'm afraid I have very little to say to you. I trust that you're enjoying your time at the keep? |
| 40092 Good day, Miss Nalia. All is going well with your, ah... adventuring? I must say that you remind me of your father very much as of late. |
| 40093 Greetings, Your Grace. Is there something that I can do for you? |
| 40094 Is there nobody here to see me? |
| 40095 I would like to access whatever has been collected through the taxes. |
| 40096 How are things going around here? |
| 40097 I need coins, quickly... I would like to raise some taxes. |
| 40098 No, nothing at the moment. |
| 40099 As word of Lord Roenall's death spreads through the ranks of the opposing army, their morale breaks and groups begin to disperse in panic. Lone groups of holdouts are quickly surrounded by your cheering forces and dealt a quick death, while others flee as they will, dropping their weapons and returning to the Roenall lands as failures. The walls have held, and through your actions, the forces of the keep have achieved victory. As your men begin to realize this, they raise their voices in exultation, cheering your name loudly and repeatedly. The day has been won, and the Roenall family has been dealt a lesson it will not soon forget. This land is yours alone to rule now... and from this day forth. |
| 40100 No, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I have dealt with a few issues of justice and land matters... minor things, truly, but no one is currently requesting an audience with you. |
| 40101 Is there anything else that you might need from me? |
| 40102 I would like to know if anyone is here to see me. |
| 40103 I would like to access whatever has been collected through the taxes. |
| 40104 Incensed at your decisions, a crowd of angry peasants has stormed the gates of the keep, let in by mutinous guardsmen who also thought you abused your power as ruler of the land and manor. As cries of rage traveled the halls, you were forced to reluctantly escape through a side passage... Even with your skills, a crowd of both peasants and guardsmen could not have been held off for long. By the time you left the keep, the gentlefolk of the land had taken control of the building... likely waiting for knights from the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart or even a new lord to come from nearby. Either way, rule of the de'Arnise Keep has been stripped from you... permanently. |
| 40105 I need coins, quickly... I would like to raise some taxes. |
| 40106 Tell me how things fare. |
| 40107 No, nothing at the moment. |
| 40108 Yes, of course. I have stored all taxes collected so far in the library cabinet on the second floor, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. That is generally where I store it. |
| 40109 Mm, I am afraid that there is nothing at the moment, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. You will have to wait 'til the end of the week, unless you desire a special levy, that is. |
| 40110 I... can certainly do this, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. You must be careful, however. Your citizenry will do as you command, but they have very little to give. |
| 40111 I don't think it's a major problem, <CHARNAME>... just don't do it too often, is all I would suggest. |
| 40112 This will not please the citizens, <CHARNAME>. You should be careful about taxing them too much! |
| 40113 I've heard that the people are quite upset. I wouldn't tax them any more, <CHARNAME>... you don't want them to revolt, do you? Father always treated them fairly. |
| 40114 You can't tax them any more! The people are near revolt already, and well they should, considering what you've been doing here! |
| 40115 Are you sure... you wish me to do this? |
| 40116 Wha... what happened...? I remember getting hurt and... and then I fell over... where...? |
| 40117 *cough* Wha... what happened...? I remember getting hurt and... and then I fell over... where...? |
| 40118 I... I was dead... wasn't I? That was definitely not a pleasant experience. Was I gone long? |
| 40119 You are back now, and that's all that matters. |
| 40120 Yes, yes, very traumatic. Can we get moving now? |
| 40121 What... what of my home? Are the invaders driven from my family's keep yet? Please, we must go there with all haste if the threat remains. |
| 40122 I... I was dead... wasn't I? That was definitely not a pleasant experience. Was I gone long? |
| 40123 You are back now, and that's all that matters. |
| 40124 Yes, yes, very traumatic. Can we get moving now? |
| 40125 What... what about my family's home...? My memory is fuzzy. What happened? Were the invaders routed? |
| 40126 That has all been taken care of. Your home is free. Your father... is dead though. |
| 40127 Old news. Your home is free, but your father is dead. Tough break. |
| 40128 Yes, of course. |
| 40129 No, I suppose not. |
| 40130 As you wish, then. I will direct the men-at-arms to collect the extra levy, which will be completed right away. |
| 40131 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded I have met a young woman by the name of Nalia who is desperate to find help for her family's keep, which is under siege by some force that she hasn't yet explained. I have agreed to take her into my party, but we are to travel to this keep (she has marked the area on my map) as soon as possible to assist. |
| 40132 Shambling Mound |
| 40133 That has all been taken care of. Your home is free. Your father... is dead though. |
| 40134 Old news. Your home is free, but your father is dead. Tough break. |
| 40135 Your struggle to find and kill Lord Roenall takes too long, and almost belatedly you realize that your forces about you have become thinner and are falling back despite themselves. Other portions of Lord Roenall's army have already begun to surmount the walls of the keep, and within moments the sounds of struggle can be heard from within. Your forces buckle under the strain of the renewed Roenall assault, and finally break. Panic sets in, and even though you valiantly try to issue orders and gather your troops, it is too late to stop a full rout. Within a short time, Lord Roenall himself has surrounded what few people you have left and is rather smug as he takes you captive. You have lost the day. |
| 40136 Bandon |
| 40137 I am... relieved to hear that, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. The Roenalls would bleed the land dry, and I know that is what the people most feared of them. |
| 40138 I shall do so, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Word shall be sent out to your men-at-arms right away to stop the collection. |
| 40139 Not much has changed. I have kept the same forms that Lord de'Arnise wished, arranged minor matters of justice, but... that is merely here at the keep. |
| 40140 As for the farmers and such, they are overjoyed. You are as fair as Lord de'Arnise, if not more so. They are recovered from invasion and look forward to your rule. |
| 40141 As for the farmers and such, they are pleased with your rulership so far. They are still trying to fully recover from the trolls... but things go well overall. |
| 40142 As for the people of your land... they do well enough. Much has yet to be done to recover from the troll invasion, which I am sure you will eventually see. |
| 40143 The farmers and such, however, are a bit angered by your policies. 'Tis nothing, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. They mourn Lord de'Arnise, but will get over their hostility soon enough. |
| 40144 The people of your land, on the other hand, are a little restless. They expect a fair <PRO_LADYLORD> and are not very pleased. But... I do not have to tell you such things... |
| 40145 As for the people on the land, there have been some protestations over taxes, and I have dealt with various disruptions. But it is not... of overt concern, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40146 As for the land, the people are very angry. An assassin was found hiding in the keep, and several mobs of farmers have been turned from the gates. You must be... most careful. |
| 40147 As for the people... there is revolt in the air. It will take very little to set things aflame. They... will march on the keep if this continues, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... |
| 40148 As you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40149 I be Olma, you cook, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. And might I be saying that I be very proud to be serving you, yes? |
| 40150 I be Olma, you cook. Supper be not ready yet, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I work hard for you, yes? |
| 40151 I be Olma, you cook. I be hired after trolls be taking over, but I think maybe Olma should go. People be angry here at you. |
| 40152 I cook for you, yes? But I think I be going soon. All people here, they say you not good <PRO_LADYLORD>. They say trolls were better, even. Tsk. It is shame. |
| 40153 I be new cook, Olma. I cook only for <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>, yes? You wish eating, you be finding kitchen. |
| 40154 Oh! H-hello, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>. I... I am Chanelle, one of the keep's maids. I must say... I miss Lord de'Arnise terribly, but you've done such a fine job here, nobody can complain, really. |
| 40155 I am Chanelle, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I... I have been in the keep here for as long as I can remember. Lord de'Arnise was... was my guardian since I was very young. I shall miss him terribly. |
| 40156 I am one of your maids, Chanelle, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I... I can't believe all the terrible things they're saying about you. After you freed us all from the trolls... it just isn't fair! |
| 40157 I am Chanelle, one of the keep's maids, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am afraid to say that I shall likely be leaving... soon. The people here are so angry... there may be a danger to us all. |
| 40158 Oh... hello, Mistress Nalia. I... I just want to say that I am terribly sorry about your father. I too shall miss him terribly. He... he was like a father to me... |
| 40159 Greetings to you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I am Chanelle, one of the keep's maids. I trust that there is nothing you need currently? |
| 40160 Hullo to you, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. I am Talira, one of the new maids here in your keep. I have heard nothing but good word of you... a good thing, as my last employer was a terrible, terrible man. |
| 40161 Hullo, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. Talira, I be... one of your new maids. I hope that there be no more trouble like them trolls... I had more than enough excitement working for my last lord, a tyrant of a man. |
| 40162 A good day t' you, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. I must say, I do not like the words that the folk here speak of you. It reminds me too much of my last lord, who was a cruel man. |
| 40163 It is I, Talira, one of your maids, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. People speak ill of you... they say you are a nasty <PRO_MANWOMAN> and a terrible ruler. I am saddened to find myself working for another such distasteful noble. |
| 40164 Hullo to you. I be Talira, the new maid here in the keep. I will get to your quarters soon enough, have no worry. The majordomo has given me plenty of other work to busy myself at the moment. |
| 40165 If you are here at her request, then you might at least mean well, though we shall see if you actually accomplish anything. Miss Nalia is a caring noble, but she is still a noble by any measure. |
| 40166 Greetings, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am the new butler, Metigo. May I say how proud I am to work for such a benevolent and well-liked <PRO_LADYLORD>? It is a good thing that you continue this keep's traditions. |
| 40167 Greetings to you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am Metigo, the new butler that has been hired. I look forward to a long and fruitful service for you, and I trust you will be satisfied with my efforts. |
| 40168 (Ahem!) Greetings, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am Metigo, your butler. I understand there has been some unrest amongst the populace of the area. A shame, really. |
| 40169 I am Metigo, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... your butler. It is a terrible thing that you have driven the people of the area to this state. Consider this my immediate resignation. |
| 40170 Greetings, honored guest. I am Metigo, the butler of this keep. If you are in need of anything, do not hesitate to ring for me, yes? |
| 40171 I ain't no threat to the likes of you. If you're here to loot the place, can I ask that you at least kill enough of those trolls so's the rest of us can get away? |
| 40172 A shame Captain Arat retired, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. He felt he had failed Lord de'Arnise somehow... I am Cernick, and I have taken his place as the captain of the guard. |
| 40173 I don't know. I seen a few make a break for it, but they were killed as they ran. Maybe a few are hidden here or there. I know Lord de'Arnise is still aliveâ€â€at least, he was this morning. |
| 40174 All is well, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. You have the favor of the people and the guard... as well-loved as Lord de'Arnise was. Hopefully, no coming trouble will change that. |
| 40175 All is calm, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. The restoration of the guard has begun... a long process. Hopefully, there will be no trouble like the trolls headed our way. |
| 40176 There is resentment among the people, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... Perhaps you should follow Lord de'Arnise's benevolent exampleâ€â€the people will not stand a tyrant. |
| 40177 She means well... a little too well. Thinks she's gotta help all of us "peasants." She sneaks out now and then and skulks around our taverns and such, as if it makes her "understand" us. |
| 40178 If you do see Miss Nalia, let her tag along. She knows this place better than anyone, or at least thinks she does. One's as good as the other sometimes, and it's better than going blind. |
| 40179 My men are grumbling, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. They think you ill-suited to follow Lord de'Arnise's rule. Continue on this path and they might not follow you any further. |
| 40180 Good day, Mistress Nalia. It is good to see you hale and traveling. I grieve for your father... and I hope you made the right choice with our new <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40181 Greetings to you. I am Captain Cernick of the keep's guard. I am always pleased to meet one of <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>'s associates. |
| 40182 Good day to you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. You remember your stable boy, Daleson? Glad t' see you carryin' on after Lord de'Arnise... an' not them Roenall folks. |
| 40183 Well, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, maybe Nalia made a mistake puttin' you in charge. Hopefully, she changes her mind before you ruin everythin'. I ain't stayin' though. |
| 40184 Hullo, Nalia. Good t' see you're in good health an' all. You done well for Lord de'Arnise, you have... Hopefully, this <CHARNAME> rules as good as your father did. |
| 40185 Nalia... don't you think this has gone on far enough? <CHARNAME> ain't no <PRO_LADYLORD> t' follow yer father. Almost rather'd see a Roenall here than that sort. Think about it, girl. |
| 40186 Hullo to you, <SIRMAAM>. Just Daleson, the stableboy here. |
| 40187 I... I won't stand for this! This is far worse than if the Roenalls had taken over the keep! I won't let you take my family's land and run it into the ground! |
| 40188 You can't just kill someone! You think you have that right because you run the keep?! What kind of monster ARE you?! Well... I won't stand for it! |
| 40189 I had to feed 'em, and nothing gets between them and their food. Abandoned their post for the dog stew I made. Had to kill four dogs per meal. Disgusting! |
| 40190 They guard the main room of the dungeon, but they feed in one of the cells... to the south down the hall, in the back of the room where they first broke in. |
| 40191 Greetings, Your Grace. I actually have a rather angry merchant by the name of Tolmas Bendelia that has been demanding to see you. |
| 40192 It might have something to do with his caravan being waylaid by bandits passing through the region, but he refuses to speak to anyone but Your <PRO_LADYLORD>ship. |
| 40193 He is an influential merchant in this area; I believe he owns the deed to more than one local farmhold. Will you grant this man an audience, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 40194 Just wanted to warn you about them. They almost killed me, and all I was doing was dropping their food in the cell. Nothing keeps them from their food. |
| 40195 Certainly. Show him in. |
| 40196 No, I have no time for this... Send him away. |
| 40197 As you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... although I have no doubt that the merchant will be very displeased. But if you think it wise, I will have him sent away. |
| 40198 Thank you, Daleson. I'll be on my way now. Good luck to you. |
| 40199 Chain Contingencyâ€â€Mirror Image |
| 40200 Excellent, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I shall send for him immediately. |
| 40201 Thank you Daleson. Now get out of here. I don't want you getting hurt. |
| 40202 Yes, Miss Nalia. Before I go, remember to use fire against trolls when they fall down, otherwise they'll get up again. |
| 40203 I hope this all works out. Be hard finding another place as comfortable as this. Remember to use fire on the trolls when they fall down, otherwise they'll get up again. |
| 40204 You! You there! Are you the one who has replaced Lord de'Arnise in this land?! I demand immediate restitution for this... this outrage! |
| 40205 I suggest you calm yourself, Mister Bendelia... and perhaps start by explaining to <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME> exactly what sort of outrage you are referring to. |
| 40206 Pfaw! As if you did not know! I am well aware that this land was overrun by those filthsome trolls... but that business is now over with and done! |
| 40207 Bandits have invaded the passes in the southern reaches of your land! Bandits! I have had my caravans traveling through this area for the past ten years, and I have never heard of bandits here! |
| 40208 You're responsible for the safety of this area... these fiends burned my caravan and took all my goods! I demand restitution, and a guarantee that these bandits will be eliminated as soon as possible! |
| 40209 If you do not... if you ignore me, I swear that not only shall I not travel through these lands again, but that I shall foreclose on every farmhold I hold a debt for! I swear I shall! |
| 40210 I've never seen it used. He never said why he didn't wield it more often. We should seek it out if he didn't have it with him. He was taken to the "cellars" then? |
| 40211 As you would have it, Miss Nalia. |
| 40212 Hey! Hey, you! Give me your damn coat... NOW! |
| 40213 My coat? Why do you want my coat? |
| 40214 But I don't have a coat... |
| 40215 I'm not giving you anything... so back off! |
| 40216 Why else would I want it, huh? I'm Missy... the coat check girl! And I'm the best damn coat check girl that Aran's ever had! Nothing stolen here, I watch them coat like a HAWK! |
| 40217 Don't you lie to ME! I'm Missy, the coat check girl... and I'm the best damn coat check girl that Aran's ever had! No coats go missing hereâ€â€I watch 'em like a HAWK! |
| 40218 Rotten little kobold! Think you can push Missy around? I'm the best coat check girl that Aran's ever had! So when I say I want your coat, GIVE ME YOUR DAMN COAT! |
| 40219 All the trainees around here... they slink around like they think I can't see 'em. They try to steal things out of the coat, try to steal the coats themselves! But that only works once on ME, <PRO_GIRLBOY>! |
| 40220 Last time I left my post even for a SECOND, I come back and ALL the coats are gone. Not even a speck of dust left! Well, no one's making a fool out of Missy anymore! NO ONE! |
| 40221 So for the last time: Hand... over... the... COAT! |
| 40222 I don't have a coat to give you. |
| 40223 I have a cloak, if you want it... |
| 40224 I've had enough of this... |
| 40225 What?! You don't have one?! You think they put a coat room in this place for NOTHING?! Get out of my sight, weirdo! What kind of coatless thief do you think you are, anyway?! BAH! |
| 40226 A cloak?! This is a COAT room, not a CLOAK room! You think I don't have enough problems that I have to expand my enterprise here?! Watch over cloaks, too?! Get outta my sight! BAH! |
| 40227 YOU'VE had enough?! I've had enough of you, you coatless little weirdo! Go ahead... go ahead and think you'll be a good enough thief if you don't even have a coat... see if I care! BAH! |
| 40228 Are you bothering me again?! And what the hell is THAT?! Some kind of furry glove? I don't watch gloves, so get it outta here! |
| 40229 Oh, so now this is a HAMSTER check room?! Why, I oughta... |
| 40230 What? No, Boo is no glove! Boo is a hamster, and far more than a handful if he wishes, tiny woman! |
| 40231 Take a hike, honey. Even if you had a coat, I sure wouldn't handle it! You think I want to be poisoned by a drow?! As IF! |
| 40232 HEY! Hey, you! I know your type... you just keep your eyes off my coats, okay? I got a dagger here with your weaselly little eyes all over it! |
| 40233 You needn't be so threatening, little one... I was just admiring your selection, that is all. |
| 40234 What now?! Are you gonna give me a coat, shorty, or do I have to knock you over the head, huh? You think I got nothing better to do?! |
| 40235 Oh, if I had a coat to give you, I certainly would. I had a coat checker in the family once... Cousin Jowen, although he did that only as a sideline. Brewing turnips was he primary occupation, and checking coats was just something he did to prove to the tax people that he earned his money legally. Said they were all tips, you see. |
| 40236 All the other coat checkers were all envious of Cousin Jowen's tips. They used to harass him and try to steal his coats and get him into trouble. Cousin Jowen was too smart for them, though. You know what it takes to brew turnips properly? A good, solid mind, that's what. And some very strong rabbits, too, but that's neither here nor there. In fact |
| 40237 Aaaauuugh! Never mind, never mind! I don't want your coat! |
| 40238 Outbursts like that won't get you any tips. I'll have to write Cousin Jowen and ask him to send you some pointers. |
| 40239 What?! Are you bothering me AGAIN?! If you don't have a coat, don't hang around here! Or... or maybe you're scoping out my coats, huh? You think you're gonna steal 'em? You think so, huh?! Well, FORGET IT! |

| 40253 Hmm... as I said, he cannot be easily ignored. Many will be upset if their farms are foreclosed, and the bandits will have to be dealt with sooner or later. |
| 40254 We do not have the strength yet to face them; our patrols simply have too few men. Obviously, the bandits have noticed. We would need mercenaries, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40255 I know a few reliable mercenary companies we could acquire for 500 gold. That would handle this problem. Mm... we could go as low as 250, but that would take longer. |
| 40256 Enough of this chatter! I demand an answer! Will I have my restitution or not?! |
| 40257 How much was your caravan worth, merchant? |
| 40258 I will not recompense you. But nor will I have my people threatened. I will purchase the farmholds' debts from you. |
| 40259 Your risks are your own, merchant. If you did not have your merchandise underwritten, then you are a fool. |
| 40260 Hmph. 1,000 gold pieces. Easily. |
| 40261 Very well then. 1,000 gold pieces it is. |
| 40262 I will offer you 500 gold, but no more. |
| 40263 I will offer you 500 gold, but no more. |
| 40264 I will not pay you 1,000 gold, merchant. But I will buy the debts of my farmers. |
| 40265 1,000! You ask for too much! You will get nothing from me, fool! |
| 40266 Well... if that is what you wish to do, I suppose I might be convinced. But their debts are worth around 1,000 gold... the same as was the worth of my caravan. So it makes little difference. |
| 40267 It makes a difference to me. I will pay you the 1,000 gold. |
| 40268 I will offer you 500 gold pieces for the debts... no more. |
| 40269 I will not pay you 1,000 gold, and you are a fool to ask for it! You will get nothing from me, merchant. |
| 40270 A fool, am I? We shall see how your farmers feel about that when I foreclose on their properties to recover my losses! |
| 40271 City Gates |
| 40272 How about I have you executed? Then you will do nothing of the sort. |
| 40273 Your business is your own, merchant. Do as you wish. |
| 40274 You are very generous, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... you know the value of business to your land, I see. And as for the bandits? What is to be done of them? |
| 40275 I intend to spend 500 gold to hire mercenaries. They will be driven from my land quickly. |
| 40276 I will spend 250 gold to hire mercenaries. It will take time, but they will be driven off eventually. |
| 40277 I can do nothing about them currently. We must build up our forces... once that is done, they will be dealt with. |
| 40278 Hmmm... hmmm. I... I suppose it is better to have something than nothing, yes. Very well, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, I accept. And, might I ask, what do you intend to do about the bandits? |
| 40279 I intend to spend 500 gold to hire mercenaries. They will be driven from my land quickly. |
| 40280 I will spend 250 gold to hire mercenaries. It will take time, but they will be driven off eventually. |
| 40281 I can do nothing about them currently. We must build up our forces... once that is done, they will be dealt with. |
| 40282 500?! That is simply not enough! I am not here to bargain! Either you will take responsibility or you won't! |
| 40283 Fine. 1,000 gold it is. |
| 40284 Then I will buy the debts of my farmers from you, if 500 gold is not enough. |
| 40285 I am not your underwriter, merchant. If you will not accept what I offer, then you are a fool. |
| 40286 No! That is a loss of money for something that you have no right to! Either pay the 1,000 gold for the debts or compensate me for my caravan. Pfaw! Is it so difficult to understand?! |
| 40287 Very well. 1,000 gold for the debts it is. |
| 40288 I'll compensate you for the caravan, then. But I will only pay half: 500 gold. |
| 40289 I'll compensate you for the caravan, then. But I will only pay half: 500 gold. |
| 40290 Then you shall get nothing from me... you are a fool to refuse what I offer. |

| 40292 These are one of the two types of berries that you have obtained from Bel Dalemark. Rose Bouquet has said that the berries smell something like a man who may be the murderer that stalks the Bridge District. She would like to smell them again to be sure. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |

| 40295 My... my partners will do it if I am executed, regardless. But... I have no wish to offend you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. This is a matter of business only, s-surely you understand...? |
| 40296 No, I do not. Take him away, men, and show everyone what I think of being threatened by petty merchants. |
| 40297 I might reconsider, then. Perhaps I will purchase the debts of my farmers from you. |
| 40298 Very well, then. How much were your losses? |
| 40299 Very well. I shall give you 500 gold to compensate for your caravan. But we are even then. |
| 40300 I do. You shall not be executed, then... but you will still receive nothing from me. |
| 40301 I see. Very well, then. And what do you intend to do about the bandits? |
| 40302 I intend to spend 500 gold to hire mercenaries. They will be driven from my land quickly. |
| 40303 I will spend 250 gold to hire mercenaries. It will take time, but they will be driven off eventually. |
| 40304 I can do nothing about them currently. We must build up our forces... once that is done, they will be dealt with. |
| 40305 Good work opening the bridge. My people will engage them as long as possible. I hope we will draw enough of them out. Destroy TorGal for us, we beg of you! |
| 40306 Good enough, then. Perhaps I shall return through this area and continue supplying the locals with goods. So long as you keep to your promises, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40307 Hmph. Perhaps I shall return to the area, then, when the bandits are defeated. Until that time, your people will have to find somewhere else to buy supplies. |
| 40308 Then it is unlikely I will be returning to this area soon. I suppose your people will just have to find someone else to purchase supplies from. Good day, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40309 WHAT?! You will st-still...? No! NOOO! |
| 40310 Very well, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. We shall do as you command. And what do you wish done regarding the bandits? |
| 40311 Spend the 500 to hire the mercenaries. Deal with them quickly. |
| 40312 Spend 250. It may take some time, but that should be enough. |
| 40313 Nothing yet. Once we build our forces enough, we can deal with them then. |
| 40314 As you wish, and I shall send out invitations to some of the area's merchant guilds... perhaps we can find another who will sell supplies to the people soon. |
| 40315 Take him away, guards, as the <PRO_LADYLORD> commands. |
| 40316 No, you can't d-do this! NOOOOO! |
| 40317 Greetings, Your Grace. There is a matter that Captain Cernick wishes to take up with you, which is of a delicate nature. Do you wish to see him? |
| 40318 Yes, show him in. |
| 40319 No, I don't have time to see him. |
| 40320 If that is your wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, then I shall tell Captain Cernick to deal with the situation as he sees fit. |
| 40321 As you say, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I will send for him immediately. |
| 40322 Greetings, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am not sure if you have been aware, but we have been experiencing a number of thefts in the keep over the past couple of weeks. |
| 40323 Small things. A goblet, some silverware, a few coins from the servants' quarters. All of these things have value, although none of them were major thefts. |
| 40324 Still... I investigated. Lastin here is one of the new guards. I caught him red-handed, attempting to take a necklace that belonged to the late Lady de'Arnise. |
| 40325 Lastin has confessed his crime. I am unsure how to punish him, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, so I have brought this before you. |
| 40326 He is your subject, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, so yours is the right to decide punishment, but you are also... being watched carefully by those who oppose your rule, however. |
| 40327 I think the matter of justice is clear. I cannot allow thefts in the keep. Execute him immediately. |
| 40328 I cannot permit a servant of the keep to steal. Expel him from the guards... send him back to his farm. |
| 40329 I would like to hear Lastin's side of the story first. |
| 40330 What is your opinion, Cernick? Has this ever happened before? |
| 40331 As you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Justice will be done. You heard <PRO_HIMHER>, Captain? |
| 40332 I did. It shall be done immediately... and it shall serve as a fine warning to all those who might try similarly. |
| 40333 I... I only meant... |
| 40334 Silence! The <PRO_LADYLORD> has spoken. Follow me, and retain some dignity in your death at least, Lastin. |
| 40335 As you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. He shall be removed from the ranks of the keep's guard immediately. You heard, Captain? |
| 40336 I did. I do not like that he goes without punishment... but if <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME> has decided to be merciful, then so be it. |
| 40337 I... I thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... I truly expected to... to... |
| 40338 Enough. Follow me, Lastin. We shall go to the barracks and collect your personals... and then I shall have the guard escort you from the keep. |
| 40339 It has not happened while I've been at the keep, but Arat told me of one of the servants helping himself to the tax money. He was executed, naturally. |
| 40340 Then, if that is the proper punishment, the matter is clear. Execute this man immediately. |
| 40341 I will not have this man executed. His crimes seem minor. Expel him from the guard instead, and send him away. |
| 40342 I see. I would like to hear what Lastin has to say in his own defense. |
| 40343 Me, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? I... I'm sorry, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, I never meant for this to |
| 40344 If you have any sort of excuse for your actions, Lastin, I suggest you say it quickly before the <PRO_LADYLORD> loses patience. |
| 40345 Well... I never intended to steal from you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. But... my wife... she's come down awfully sick. I've had healers and priests come to see her, but they say a simple spell won't do. |
| 40346 Special medicines are needed, expensive ones. I... I could never afford such an expense. But... but I CAN'T just watch my wife DIE! |
| 40347 I'm so sorry, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... I just thought... a few things won't be missed. Small things. Maybe... maybe I would be able to sell them... and save up enough to... to... |
| 40348 I see. That is not an excuse. Take this man away and execute him immediately. |
| 40349 I see. I shall be lenient, then, and only expel you from the guard. Take him away. |
| 40350 I think I understand. I shall forgive you this once, Lastin. But any further thefts, and your life is immediately forfeit. |
| 40351 How much are these medicines, Lastin? |
| 40352 You... you intend to forgive him completely, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 40353 And... and I can keep my job here? Oh, th-thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, thank you! I... I will never do it again, I promise! |
| 40354 *sigh* Fine, then. You are lucky that the <PRO_LADYLORD> is so kind, Lastin. Come with me back to the barracks. |
| 40355 They are... they come to 500 gold pieces, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I... I shall never be able to afford such an amount. Not if I... live... to be a hundred. |
| 40356 Then I shall pay for the medicines myself to spare this woman. Next time, come and ask me yourself. |
| 40357 That is a very large sum indeed. I wish I could help you. |
| 40358 That's a tough break. Did you really think you could collect all that from the keep? You are a fool. |
| 40359 You... you will? Oh, thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! THANK YOU! You... you are more generous than I could have possibly dreamed! |
| 40360 But there is still the matter of your crime. I cannot overlook it. You must be executed immediately. |
| 40361 But there is still the matter of your crime. You cannot serve in the guard any longer. Expel him, and take him back to his home. |
| 40362 I shall let the matter of your crime pass for now. If it happens again, that will be a different story. Next time... use better judgment, Lastin. |
| 40363 I... I know, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I wish I could help my wife. |
| 40364 I cannot overlook your actions, however. Take him away and execute him immediately. |
| 40365 I cannot overlook what you have done. You are expelled from the guard, Lastin. Go home. |
| 40366 You will not help her by stealing. I shall overlook what you have done... this time. Any further thefts and you will pay with your life. |
| 40367 I... yes, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. A... desperate... fool. I only wanted to... to save her. To try. |
| 40368 Be that as it may, I cannot overlook your crime. Execute him immediately. |
| 40369 You can still try, but not in this keep. You are hereby expelled from the guard, Lastin. |
| 40370 Indeed. I shall forgive your actions for now since they were borne of desperation. Do not do this again, Lastin. |
| 40371 If... if it means my wife is to be cured, I will gladly accept my punishment. I wish... I wish I had known you were a kind <PRO_MANWOMAN> sooner, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... |
| 40372 Come with me, then, Lastin. Justice shall be done, and all who follow you will know better than to try such a thing again. |
| 40373 You... you are most generous, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I shall never forget what you have done for me... never! |
| 40374 I... I shall, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, I shall! Th-thank you! I shall never forget this! |
| 40375 *sigh* Can't say I agree with it, but... I suppose I might have done the same. Hope it all works out well with the wife. Follow me back to the barracks, Lastin. |
| 40376 Greetings, Your Grace. There is a... man... who has been waiting for some time for an audience with you. Shall I admit him or send him away? |
| 40377 I will see him. |
| 40378 What does he want? |
| 40379 Send him away, I don't have time to see anyone. |
| 40380 I shall do so immediately, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I apologize for the disturbance. |
| 40381 I am... unsure, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. He claims to be a cleric of Tempus, but comes across as rather the burly and uncouth sort. He says he will only speak to you... |
| 40382 Show him in, then. |
| 40383 Send him away, then. |
| 40384 As you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I shall have him brought in immediately. |
| 40385 Ho! How does it go with you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? I trust all is well? Hah! You must be wondering what someone like me is doing here, yes? |
| 40386 My name be Bolumir, priest of Tempus, the god of battles! Hahr... it has been some time since I have rested my feet in any place, to tell the truth. I've been wandering for many a year now. |
| 40387 And I do be hearing of a great battle that was done in this place! Trolls defeated, a land liberated... it stirs my heart to hear of such valiance. |
| 40388 The traveling does wear on me, to tell the truth. I've come to ask if you've a chapel that a priest of Tempus might set himself up in... bring the good Word to the folk of the area. |
| 40389 What do you say, eh? If my manner does not strike you as offensive, I would be glad to be chaplain of your wee keep here. |
| 40390 I've heard of this man, <CHARNAME>... he be a good and honorable priest, even if he possesses a fierce and loud nature. I would see no reason to refuse him. |
| 40391 Hmm. If this be the Bolumir I have heard tales of, you should refuse him. He is nothing but trouble, a thorn you shall not be able to remove once he is under your cushion! |
| 40392 This... cleric. Now that I know his name, I recall a word or two about him. I understand he was ejected from his last parish in a village to the south, in Tethyr... |
| 40393 Aye! That be a truth, what the small man says. I do not claim to be a nice man... simply a pious man. And the church he speaks of was not one to my liking. |
| 40394 I can help your people here much while I stay. But I do not promise to stay for long. Either you accept me or you don't, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... that is your choice, and I'll not begrudge it you. |
| 40395 Well... if you accept him, the family chapel in the lower level is unacceptable, but... the small chapel on the floor above us would serve. It is up to you. |
| 40396 Very well. Put him up in the chapel and let us see how it goes. |
| 40397 I'm not about to take a stranger into the keep... especially a questionable one. |
| 40398 Begone, cleric. You must think me a fool to offer you safe harbor here. |
| 40399 Ahhr! You're a good sort, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, as I suspected you were, from the stories! It will be good to have a place to preach the word of Tempus once again, truly! |
| 40400 I... will show you, then, to... |
| 40401 Don't bestir yourself, laddie. I can find it just fine. You can come speak to me anytime, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>... any of me services I'll be glad to offer, if you've the need. |
| 40402 I suppose I'd do the same. Not to worry, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... as I said, I'll not hold it against you. I'll be on me way, then, wishing you well. |
| 40403 Not a fool, certainly. But if you've no manners about you, it's just as well that I'm not staying. I'll wish you well enough, then, and be on me way. |
| 40404 Good to see you again, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. 'Tis a fine keep you have here... and a fine people, too. It feels good to be spreading the word. Something you need, eh? |
| 40405 I would like to see your services. |
| 40406 Everything is going well, I take it? |
| 40407 I think it's time for you to go. |
| 40408 No, I'm fine. |
| 40409 At your command, o' course... |
| 40410 Aye, 'tis well and grand enough. These people here haven't had a local cleric since... since, well, I don't know when. A bit o' faith, even Tempus, looks good on them, truly. |
| 40411 I'd like to see your services, then. |
| 40412 I think it's time for you to go, Bolumir. |
| 40413 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 40414 Time t' hit the road again, eh? Already? Well, if that's your wish, I won't begrudge it. You sure I can't change your mind, though, eh? |
| 40415 I'm sure. |
| 40416 Well... I suppose perhaps a little longer... |
| 40417 Well an' good enough. 'Tis too bad, though... I was starting to like it here. Wasn't meant to be, though. I wish you well, <CHARNAME>... hope you're finding what you're lookin' for. |
| 40418 Hahhr! Now 'at's what I likes to hear. I'm beginning to like this place, truly enough. But if I gets too much under your skin, you just lets me know. |
| 40419 As you wish, then. Tempus walk with you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40420 My <PRO_LADYLORD>! My <PRO_LADYLORD>! I've found you, I have! You... you've got to come quickly! The majordomo has sent for you to come! |
| 40421 He says that Lord Roenall... Lord Roenall himself!... is waiting to see you! Just come quickly, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! |
| 40422 It is good you have come, <PRO_LADYLORD>! Lord Farthington Roenall himself has arrived to speak with you. He has been... agitated... by the wait, and does not seem pleased. |
| 40423 I do not know what he wants... he demanded to see you and no one else. I... I hope there will be no violence! Shall I... show him in, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 40424 Of course, let's see what he has to say. |
| 40425 I've no need to see him. Send him away. |
| 40426 Wh-what? Are... are you sure, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? Lord Roenall will be... most offended! |
| 40427 Awww... that's too bad, isn't it? |
| 40428 I don't care. Do it anyway. |
| 40429 *sigh* Very well... show him in. |
| 40430 I shall get him and his small entourage right away... |
| 40431 I... I see. I shall send word to him right away, then. |
| 40432 Your Grace! You return! I... I am sorry, but you are too late to speak to Lord Roenall. He was furious at having to waitâ€â€he left in quite the huff. |
| 40433 But he did... leave word with me. He does not recognize your claim to the keep... or Mistress Nalia's ability to give it. He said he would return... with an army. |
| 40434 Captain Cernick said he would do all he could to build your forces, but there is little else that can be done. Lord Roenall may be bluffing, but I am... not sure. |
| 40435 At any rate, Captain Cernick has sent scouts to the borders of your land. We will know immediately if Lord Roenall moves... I will send word if it comes to that. |
| 40436 My lord has bade me to come within and give you this message, since you are arrogant enough to refuse him at the door. |
| 40437 He says that he will not allow you to keep playing at being the <PRO_LADYLORD> of this keep which is rightfully his. Lady Nalia had no legal right to give Roenall land to someone else. |
| 40438 And since you will not be reasonable about this, Lord Roenall will return... with an army. That is all. |
| 40439 Your Grace! You return! I... I had thought it would come to this. I have already taken the liberty of speaking to Captain Cernick, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... |
| 40440 All right, let's make this quick, peasant. Nalia de'Arnise was betrothed to a Roenall by her father. Whether or not that wedding is going to happen, this land is ours by right. |
| 40441 Nalia is too young to decide for herself to just give the land away. And the very idea is preposterous at the least! So... I'm going to be a gentleman and give you the choice to decide your fate for yourself. |
| 40442 Give up this castle. You will never rule it in the long run, at any rate... you have no noble blood. Give it up now, and all will be forgiven. What do you say, peasant? |
| 40443 Forget it. Now get off my land. |
| 40444 Fine. I wasn't interested in this much anyway. |
| 40445 Fine. I wasn't interested in this much anyway. |
| 40446 Hmph. I see you are as stubborn and stupid as any other peasant. Very well. The next time I return, it shall be with my army at my back. |
| 40447 No! <CHARNAME>, you can't let him do this! You can't just give him my father's keep! Please! |
| 40448 I'm not going to fight a war over this, Nalia. Forget it. |
| 40449 I suppose you're right... I suppose the answer will just have to be no, Lord Roenall. Too bad for you. |
| 40450 Keep Messenger |
| 40451 I... I suppose my faith in you was misplaced then. Well... I'm not going to stick around and watch this happen! Thank you for nothing, <CHARNAME>! |

| 40453 This scroll contains a brief confession written by Quataris. You can use this confession to have Haer'Dalis cleared. The scroll reads like this: "I, Quataris, do hereby swear that I have, with Malice and Forethought, framed one Haer'Dalis for the Theft of a certain Bust of Sune. I obtained the services of one Janos to steal the Bust for me. In doing so, he took the Appearance of Haer'Dalis and, without my knowledge or consent, most foully Murdered the Owner of the Bust, the gentleman Acton Balthis. I swear the Events within this Letter to be True and Clear." The scroll is signed in the cramped quill-work of Quataris. |
| 40454 Well. It seems that you may have a bit of sense in you after all. All right, then, I'm sure you've done enough damage running this land... out of my keep, all of you. |
| 40455 Greetings, Your Grace. We have a small problem here at the keep, one that I doubt that you would be aware of at all. |
| 40456 I am unsure if you have met Chanelle... She has been a maid here most of her life. She was an orphan, and the de'Arnise family took her in as a servant when she was young. |
| 40457 As <PRO_LADYLORD> of the keep, you are technically her guardian. Ordinarily, that would not be a problem, but there are two men who desire her hand in marriage. |

| 40461 Shall I bring them in to see you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? If you refuse, then... no one shall be permitted to marry Chanelle. And I am sure that is not what she wants. |
| 40462 Certainly. Bring them all in. |
| 40463 Well, that's too bad, then. I've got no time to see them. |
| 40464 As... as you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I shall send Chanelle the unfortunate news. |
| 40465 I shall send for them immediately, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. It should just be a moment. |
| 40466 *sigh* This, of course, is Chanelle... one of the maids in the keep, Your Grace. |
| 40467 H-hello... |
| 40468 Perhaps you could explain to the <PRO_LADYLORD> exactly in your own words what the problem is. |
| 40469 Oh... all right. Umm... Jessup here has been courting me for some time. He's... a ranger from the local forests. And... Malvolio is a landowner from over in the Roenall lands. |
| 40470 Malvolio too has been courting me... although I can't say that I'm all that interested... |
| 40471 I am a man of affluence, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! I can care very well for Chanelle's needs, and she will have nothing to worry about for her future! |
| 40472 The same cannot be said for this... this lout, Jessup! He is a drunk and a fool! On top of that, he is a penniless pauper! No doubt he wishes to marry Chanelle only to gain access to your coin! |
| 40473 What?! How dare you say that! I love Chanelle! I've loved her far longer than you! And she doesn't even want you, you slobbering pig! |
| 40474 But I have no need of a dowry from the <PRO_LADYLORD> here. In fact, I am willing to offer <PRO_HIMHER> 500 gold pieces as a gift to show how much I am willing to take care of our Chanelle. |
| 40475 I... I'm not marrying her only because of the dowry! But... but it would... |
| 40476 It was promised by Lord de'Arnise to me, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I... I don't expect you to keep his promise... but I was hoping you would. It would make a world of difference to Jessup and I! |
| 40477 Hmm. That was his promise, I believe... and by tradition, it is the correct one. It is up to you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, whether or not you wish to give a dowry. |
| 40478 There's no need! And besides, she would be miserable with that drunkard! |
| 40479 I am not a drunkard, Malvolio! Stop saying that! |

| 40483 Enough! <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME> will decide the issue. |
| 40484 Malvolio would obviously provide a better future for her... better than she has here, at least. He is the better choice. |
| 40485 I'll not stand in the way of Chanelle's heart. She may marry Jessup, if that is her wish. |
| 40486 I rather think both of them to be entirely unsuitable. You may marry neither of them, Chanelle. |
| 40487 Thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Obviously, you are a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of uncommon sense. I will care for Chanelle as no other. And here, of course... take my gift of the 500 gold... |
| 40488 She is not for sale, Malvolio. I give her to you because you represent a better future. If you are unkind, however, I will hear of it... |
| 40489 Very well. Leave the gift, and take Chanelle with you. I trust you will make an excellent husband. |
| 40490 I... I see. Of course, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, of course... |
| 40491 Th-thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. You are... too kind. |
| 40492 No! You... you can't do this! |
| 40493 Oh, get off, pauper! Let us go then, my bride-to-be... |
| 40494 Al... all right. |
| 40495 Oh, thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, thank you! |
| 40496 I am grateful as well, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. But... we will need some kind of start. Have you... er... given any thought to the dowry? |
| 40497 I made no promise to Chanelle. You both will make it on your own, or not, as you will. |
| 40498 I suppose a small dowry might be in order. 100 gold pieces should more than suffice. |
| 40499 500 gold. It is little enough to me, but will mean a good life for you both. Live well. |
| 40500 Oh... |

| 40511 What?! You're just going to deny her the chance to get married?! What kind of monster are you?! |

| 40537 It is Lord de'Arnise's signature all right, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. The wax has been pressed with his seal. But there is no way to determine precisely when this was done. |
| 40538 It is not a forgery. We did not come here to cause any trouble, just to collect a simple outstanding debt. |
| 40539 This is an antidote to the poison that Barl has made and foully distributed. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 40540 Of course, if you do decide to refuse... well, we will simply have to take exception to that. We can't let debts slide, especially debts made by nobles. We would be out of business! |
| 40541 So... if you refuse to honor this scrip, we will be forced to take other measures. There are at least, oh, perhaps a dozen locals who owe us upward of 1,000 crowns. |
| 40542 I understand that a merchant recently made a similar threat, and we can do the same... we will call in those debts immediately if you refuse. |

| 40544 So, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>... what will it be? |
| 40545 This journal seems to be that of an apprentice mage, telling the tale of her expedition into the Umar Hills with two other apprentices in the search for evidence of the fabled witch. The tale is hard to believe, but seems to relate the group's horror at getting lost and being hounded by an unseen predator during the nights. The script is in a panicky, feminine hand, and the last page can barely be made out as follows: "...sorry to Joshellus's mother. I'm sorry about what happened to Michaelus. There's something out here with us. We thought it to be peasants, but peasants aren't this clever. Joshellus says it's the witch. I hear her when I sleep. I don't want to sleep. I don't want to sleep. I don't want..." The journal ends here. |
| 40546 And, of course, we can have this done... even if something were to, say, happen to us. |
| 40547 Very well. I will pay you your 2,000 gold pieces. |
| 40548 I am not Lord de'Arnise. But I will pay you, say, 1,000 gp to get rid of you and protect my people. |
| 40549 I am not Lord de'Arnise. But I will pay you, say, 1,000 gp to get rid of you and protect my people. |
| 40550 I will not be threatened. And I believe you are crooks. Take them away immediately and execute them! |
| 40551 You will get nothing out of me. Begone, before I have you executed! |
| 40552 Very good, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>. You are a sensible <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Your debt is hereby paid in full. |
| 40553 We thank you. |
| 40554 Hmm. I suppose we should take what we can get, considering that the old lord is dead and gone. |
| 40555 A partial recovery is better than we expected. |
| 40556 Very well, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>... we will take what you offer and consider the matter settled. Thank you and good day. |
| 40557 But the amount owed to us is 2,000 crowns, my <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>. |
| 40558 Why would we take only half of what is owed? I suggest you think about it again, and keep in mind the angry peasants who will blame you for their predicament. |
| 40559 Very well. 2,000 crowns it is. |
| 40560 You ask for too much, and you will get nothing from me. Begone! |
| 40561 You are obviously crooks, and I will not abide it. Execute these two immediately! |
| 40562 Wh-what?! |
| 40563 You said this wouldn't happen! You said <PRO_HESHE> was an easy mark! |
| 40564 You'll pay for this, <CHARNAME>! Your people owe us the money, and it WILL be collected! |
| 40565 Well... now that those two are dealt with, there is the matter of their threat. If there are locals who owe them money, they will be angry if they are forced to pay immediately. |
| 40566 Is there anything you might wish to do about that, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 40567 If people borrowed from those crooks, then they are responsible. Let them find their own way out. |
| 40568 Give them 500 gold... I'm willing to help out and pay half, but they will have to come up with the rest themselves. |
| 40569 I will pay the full 1,000. I won't have people being hurt because some crooks tried to take advantage of me. |
| 40570 Yes. I suppose you are correct, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. At least those criminals will not gain from their deed. |
| 40571 I do not know if they have 500 gold amongst them, but you are certainly being more than fair. I will make the arrangements immediately, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40572 You are more than generous... Very sensible of you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, not to invite further blackmail. I will make the arrangements immediately. |
| 40573 You have not heard the last of us, then, <CHARNAME>! |
| 40574 Just wait until your people become angered when they find out who is the source of their misery! Just you wait! |
| 40575 My <PRO_LADYLORD>! *pant* It is a good *pant* thing that I have found you once again...! |
| 40576 There has been a terrible flood on yourâ€â€*pant*â€â€on your land! There's so much devastation! The majordomo asks that you come to the keep *pant*... as quickly as possible! |
| 40577 I've got to run back now and *pant* tell him I've found you! Please come quickly! |
| 40578 Your Grace! You have arrived! It is terrible, is it not? Did you see the destruction of the flood from the road? There are many put out from their farms... |
| 40579 'Twas the old dikes, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Lord de'Arnise was planning on building new ones to replace them, but it was always a project for the next year, it seems. |
| 40580 And now it has caught up to us. There are many locals who have demanded to speak with you... so many are upset! I have limited their number to but a few... |
| 40581 <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>! You're here t' protect folks like us... we were assured that the dikes would be fixed, so there'd be no more floods! |
| 40582 An' this one was worse than all the others! All of them! My farm was completely sotted! |
| 40583 My son was killed! The water came so quickly... it was all we could do to get away with our lives! |
| 40584 I've... I've lost everything. Many of us have. We... we know that you are not our Lord de'Arnise. But you are our <PRO_LADYLORD>... We have paid you our taxes, and now we need your help... |
| 40585 Need <PRO_HISHER> help?! We demand <PRO_HISHER> help! You want to be our <PRO_LADYLORD>, then you need to fix this problem! |
| 40586 Oh, there's no need to talk like that... I'm sure <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME> is willing to help us, to do what's right... |
| 40587 Well, either the dike needs to be fixed, or all of our farmholds have to be rebuilt. Or both. Or there's going to be a LOT of angry people! |
| 40588 Calm down, everyone! <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME> shall do as <PRO_HESHE> feels is best, and there is no altering that! Please... just remain calm... |
| 40589 Now, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, I've determined the cost for damages and rebuilding the dike. You will need to choose what, if anything, will be done right now. |
| 40590 The damage to the land is costly. It is too bad we do not have access to Lord de'Arnise's coffers, because the cost to rebuild is over... er... 5,000 gold... |
| 40591 If that is what it takes to rebuild, I will pay the full amount. 5,000 gold it is. |
| 40592 I can only pay for a portion of the rebuilding cost, not the full amount. |
| 40593 The people will have to be responsible for the rebuilding of their own farmholds. I feel for them, but I can do nothing. |
| 40594 You're... very generous, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. That will go a long way towards restoring things to the way they were. |
| 40595 Thank you... |
| 40596 And what about the dikes? Are you going to rebuild those? |
| 40597 The dikes are... almost as costly, hence the reason Lord de'Arnise kept putting them off. 2,000 gold to rebuild them, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... a harsh expense, I know... |
| 40598 If it will prevent future problems, then it should be done. Spend the 2,000 gp and rebuild the dikes. |
| 40599 It cannot be done at the moment, but it will soon. For now, we must concentrate on rebuilding the farmholds. |
| 40600 Cast Spell: Simulacrum |
| 40601 Very good, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... I will see that reconstruction begins immediately on the new dikes. |
| 40602 As... you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. It can wait another year if necessary, but I do not think it good to wait longer than that. Lord de'Arnise already put it off too long. |
| 40603 You have been more than fair with us, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. How can we ever thank you for all that you have done? |
| 40604 Indeed. I do not think Lord de'Arnise himself would have been as generous to his people... |
| 40605 Let us go, then, and start our rebuilding... with <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME> ruling over us now, we will surely prosper... |
| 40606 Well, let's get back, then, and start rebuilding what we can... |
| 40607 I... I just want you to know, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>, that I think you've done... a fine job. Better than we thought you would... |
| 40608 Let us go, then, and do what we can. We appreciate what assistance you've given us, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 40609 Bah! What I would not give to have Lord de'Arnise back amongst us! At least he was a fair man who treated us well! |
| 40610 You've done little else here than add to our miseries, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>! |
| 40611 Let us leave <PRO_HIMHER> be, then, and get back to rebuilding what we can... |
| 40612 That's it! We've had enough of your tyranny, <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>! |
| 40613 You're no <PRO_LADYLORD> fit to rule us! |
| 40614 Mistress Nalia was a fool! Let us go and tell the rest of us that <CHARNAME>'s time of rulership is at an end! |

It apparently draws water out of its victims and is able to slay creatures of fire almost instantly. Tales say the Wave was lost long ago to the fire giants of the Storm Horn Mountains, but was eventually found by the adventurer Arganon of the Long Reach.

Nearly every place I stop I manage to pick up some dangerous passenger that dents my guardian here when he goes to throw them out. Don't these demons and their ilk realize that iron golems are tedious to maintain? Regardless, he's nearly fixed now. If I can only remember where I've placed the arm and the head. I haven't really been feeling like myself lately. It's probably nothing. Note to self: Once the other two golem parts are found, REMEMBER to START the FURNACE. Get some damned coal! Recall the unfortunate week spent dodging the balor whilst agonizing over why the cursed activation machine wouldn't run!" The tome continues for a few more pages, although the writing makes less and less sense. Lavok seems to have been going mad. |

| 40683 I am glad you remain in the keep... and that you survived. Lord Roenall deserved everything he got. We're all happy we don't have to serve scum like him. |
| 40684 Lord Roenall arrived in this land before you did... and he aided the folk here, who were desperate for some relief from that flood. |
| 40685 They've all decided that you're not worthy of ruling the keep, which has been turned over to Lord Roenall. You are no longer welcome within. |

| 40771 I am here as a contact and a master, and I will thank you for keeping your tone civil. I am Teos, and I have been assigned to offer you... a special deal. |
| 40772 You just recently took this sphere, and by all rights we should have it, but my superiors said to offer an alternative. It would seem we have need of you. |
| 40773 Your colors are those of the Cowled Wizards! I have had quite enough of them! |
| 40774 I have just killed some of your number. Why would a Cowled Wizard offer me anything? |
| 40775 You are the ones that took Imoen from under my nose! Explain why I should trust you! |
| 40776 Magic is all but banned in the city, making me an outlaw. Why would you offer anything? |
| 40777 I readily agree there is little reason to trust, but I have been ordered to speak with you regardless. It would seem that events of late are to be reevaluated. |
| 40778 I am told that member Tolgerias is no longer to be spoken of. Either he was working for himself, or something of greater importance requires it to be so. |
| 40779 In any case, as distasteful to me as it is, I am to inform you of the details of the partnership to which you are now a member. |
| 40780 Partnership? I want nothing to do with any of you! |
| 40781 You assume a great deal. I was not aware I was joined with you. |
| 40782 Such gall to think I would accept anything said to me by a Cowled Wizard. |
| 40783 You have no real choice in the matter. It's a simple bit of business, one that is not without benefit. Listen to what I say, and you will see what I mean. |
| 40784 You are in possession of a notable artifact, this sphere. That you neutralized it was of great service, and apparently enough for my superiors to overlook the past. |
| 40785 That said, they would like to offer an exchange. You may operate in this awkwardly placed sphere if you agree to certain duties for the Cowled Wizards. |
| 40786 I'm listening. |
| 40787 This is a waste of time, you know. Speak if you must, but it will not matter. |
| 40788 It is simple: You may have this place and act freely as a wizard. In exchange, you do the odd task for us, acting when we can't because of political or other reasons. |
| 40789 There may be more conditions on the offer, but I don't know them. Take my word for whatever you think it's worth, and realize that this is best for all involved. |
| 40790 You speak of trust when you are the ones that took Imoen from me? Return her, then we will talk. |
| 40791 I shall accept this deal for now, though if the benefits are not as you say, I will reconsider. |
| 40792 Imoen? I don't know the name. This is a large city, and the Cowled Wizards have many subdivisions and such. Taken because of unauthorized magic use? |
| 40793 I will inquire to my superiors about her if you wish. Until then, I would advise that you act in accordance with this agreement. |
| 40794 This is all to be discreet, you understand, so much so that I am forbidden from telling my fellow Cowled Wizards. They will treat you as they always have. |
| 40795 If you display magic in the streets, you will be censured accordingly. The lives of a few brethren are apparently an acceptable price for your assistance. |
| 40796 I cannot say that I agree with this, but it is not my place to say. |
| 40797 I will go along with this for the moment. |
| 40798 This stinks of treachery, and I will be watching all of you very closely. |
| 40799 Do what you must, but this is how things must be. I will return tomorrow with details of your duties and any extra information I can pry from my superiors. |
| 40800 They are no doubt some unfortunate travelers that got caught in this sphere? No one here will miss them. I say kill them and save the headache. |
| 40801 Prove your intent. Help me return the Solamnic Knights to their proper plane of existence. |
| 40802 But if you must help them, I suggest speaking with Ribald at the Adventurer Mart. He seems to have all sorts of things for unique situations such as this. |
| 40803 Beyond that, the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart deals with knights; I do not. Just one of the problems you are sure to encounter in this place. |
| 40804 Well, <CHARNAME>, I return with your first duty under the yoke of the Cowled Wizards. I trust you have made yourself at home in this place? |
| 40805 As well as can be expected. What is it that you want? |
| 40806 Say what you must and then leave. This is not a relationship I am fond of. |
| 40807 I need to ask you about these Solamnic Knights. How can I send them to their proper plane? |
| 40808 Some unfortunate travelers that got caught in this sphere? No one here will miss them. I say kill them and save yourself the headache. |
| 40809 But if you must help them, I suggest speaking with Ribald at the Adventurer Mart. He seems to have all sorts of things for unique situations such as this. |
| 40810 Beyond that, the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart deals with knights; I do not. Just one of the problems you are sure to encounter in this place. |
| 40811 Enough chatter. You are to forgo your own concerns and do the task I set, though I do not understand why you have been chosen. It hardly seems worth the trouble. |
| 40812 I bring three young mages. They have shown potential and have been removed from their homes that they might be cultivated into productive Cowled Wizards. |
| 40813 These apprentices shall serve and observe while you direct their schooling. This will not require much, and they may even supply you with things you need. |
| 40814 Introduce them then. I will see what I can do. |
| 40815 Name the whelps. I will see if they deserve tutelage. |
| 40816 The first is Morul, and he speaks for the others. He is the son of a wealthy merchant, and his father would be most upset if something happened to his gifted child. |
| 40817 Kaol |
| 40818 Crolus |
| 40819 I'm sure. Next is Larz. He found some old magic texts and studied without his parent's knowledge. They feared the stigma he would bring and cast him out. |
| 40820 Samia |
| 40821 Samia |
| 40822 Kaol |
| 40823 Speak when spoken to, child. Next is Nara, from the area of Trademeet. She was given to a temple as a foundling and has since developed a taste for magic. |
| 40824 I will serve as best I can, <CHARNAME>. |
| 40825 Nothing less is expected. <CHARNAME>, they will receive their instruction from the Cowled Wizards directly, but you will determine the basics of their study. |
| 40826 H-hello, <CHARNAME>. It will be an honor to study in your shadow. |
| 40827 Cowards. I have found others that appreciate me now. |
| 40828 Shaping these young wizards will hardly be a chore. I thank you for the opportunity. |
| 40829 And what can they do for me? What do I get out of this? |
| 40830 That is all? I doubt I was allowed to keep the sphere because I would make a good teacher. |

| 40839 <CHARNAME>! A runner told of your coming! I am to direct you to where you are needed! We must hurry if we are to save our besieged knights! Come, this way to the battle! |
| 40840 Here! Here is the fight! I regret that I cannot join the fray, as I must report to the Order the enemy's numbers and tactics! Even if all my friends should fall, someone must live to report of this. |
| 40841 Fight well, <CHARNAME>, and see our brethren safely home. |
| 40842 You, you are <CHARNAME>, are you not? I am Crolus, and I am to direct you to the meeting with Baron Metrich. If you would follow me, you are expected. |
| 40843 Keep close by my side. The baron would prefer it if you did not speak to any of the squatters before the meeting. He fears your view of him would be... tainted. |
| 40844 The baron expects you. Turn your ears away from the jabbering of the squatters and seek his audience with all haste. |
| 40845 Hold! I warn you, I have killed many of your brethren to get this... Oh, forgive my manner. I feared you were another grouping of orcs come to harass me. |
| 40846 Perhaps you should fear me more than any orc. You do not know me. |
| 40847 I have been called many things, but never "orc." Who are you? |
| 40848 I have been beset by those foul creatures as well. We are in the same situation. |
| 40849 This ancient well seems to still be in working order. If you wanted, you could winch up the water pail. |
| 40850 You begin to operate the winch, slowly lifting the bucket from the bottom of the well. After a few moments, the bucket is within reach. You pull a strangely shaped helmet from the murky water in the bucket. Before you are able to examine it, a wind rushes up from the depths of the well. |
| 40851 *sigh* We've made it in. We should find Daleson first, if he's still alive, and then make our way to the courtyard and open the drawbridge. |
| 40852 And neither do you know me. I would suggest that it is not profitable for us to be suspicious of each other though, as we are in the same predicament. |
| 40853 We'll have to find my aunt's bedroom. There's a secret passage within that leads to the cellar entrance. Down there is probably where the leader is. |
| 40854 My apologies. I am Samia, and it would seem we are in the same situation. Have you come searching for the tomb as well? I was not aware of another expedition. |
| 40855 It would seem so. I am Samia. Are you here searching for the tomb as well? I was not aware of another expedition. |
| 40856 Are you here seeking the tomb as well? I was not aware of another expedition. |
| 40857 Expedition? No, I know nothing of this. I am here seeking a villain named Firkraag. |
| 40858 What could you be seeking in such a place as this? It must be valuable. |
| 40859 Uh, yeah, that's why I'm here. Yeah. The tomb. |
| 40860 Expedition? No, I know nothing of this. I am here seeking a villain named Firkraag. |
| 40861 What could you be seeking in such a place as this? It must be valuable. |
| 40862 Uh, yeah, that's why I'm here. Yeah. The tomb. |
| 40863 Expedition? No, I know nothing of this. I am here seeking a villain named Firkraag. |
| 40864 What could you be seeking in such a place as this? It must be valuable. |
| 40865 Uh, yeah, that's why I'm here. Yeah. The tomb. |
| 40866 Ho, friends! I heard much commotion and have come down to investigate. What transpires here? |
| 40867 My name isn't Samuel Thunderburp if there isn't something odd going on. Tell me... where are Raelis Shai and her actors? What have you done with them? |
| 40868 I haven't done anything with them. They went home to Sigil, which is on another plane. |
| 40869 Raelis and her friends have left, permanently... although I'd rather not go into the details. |
| 40870 Why is it any of your business, halfling? |
| 40871 Ah, I see. It is too bad, then... I knew they would travel onward eventually, but I did not think it to be too soon. Has Raelis mentioned anything at all to you of what she wants done with the playhouse? |
| 40872 She did. She gave it to me, in fact... I have the deed here. |
| 40873 I am to run it, if it's any business of yours. |
| 40874 Ahhh... returned to their own plane, have they? Or did you not think I knew about that? No matter. Did Raelis mention at all what she wishes done with the playhouse? |
| 40875 She did. She gave it to me, in fact... I have the deed here. |
| 40876 I am to run it, if it's any business of yours. |
| 40877 It's my business plenty and then some, <PRO_RACE>. I am the owner of this inn and, technically, this playhouse as well. At least until I sold it to Raelis and her troupe. |
| 40878 I'd be willing to bet that she's gone on to her home plane, eh? If that was the kind of gate I think it is, at least. It is too bad. Did Raelis mention what she wishes done with the playhouse? |
| 40879 She did. She gave it to me, in fact... I have the deed here. |
| 40880 Raelis gave the deed to me... although I doubt I have the time to run a playhouse. |
| 40881 Raelis gave the deed to me... although I doubt I have the time to run a playhouse. |
| 40882 Raelis gave the deed to me... although I doubt I have the time to run a playhouse. |
| 40883 She gave the playhouse to you, eh? I didn't take you for a storyteller or artist or any such... but I should know better than anyone else that appearances can be a bit deceiving. |
| 40884 Well, so be it. I've heard a little about your exploits, though... glory hound, aren't you? No need to deny itâ€â€I was the same way in my adventuring days. Ahhh, to be back on the road... |
| 40885 Go, and rescue who you can. You have not much time. |
| 40886 Well, never mind. Point is, I bet you'll be wanting to do plenty of other things beside run the day to day matters of setting up plays, yes? Just so happens there's someone here who you may want to see. |
| 40887 A fellow's been in the inn for the past couple of days. Meeting with Raelis, I think... a director of some note, as I was told. He was at the bar last night, mentioning he was between projects. |
| 40888 He could be just the sort of person who could run the playhouse for you while you're busy doing other things. Lliira knows I don't want this place to stop putting on plays... good for business, you know. |
| 40889 Anyway... I'll go upstairs and see if I can't roust him up and send him down. Good meeting you... Come up and drink at the bar anytime, if you feel like it. |
| 40890 It's plenty of my business. I own the inn and, technically, the playhouse as well. At least until I sold it to Raelis and her troupe. |
| 40891 She gave the playhouse to you, eh? I didn't take you for a storyteller or artist or any such... but I should know better than anyone else that appearances can be a bit deceiving. |
| 40892 I know how the adventuring bit goes... I was once inclined to that life myself, before I married and opened the Five Flagons. Ahhh... those were the days, to tell the truth... |
| 40893 Well, never mind. Point is, I know what you mean by not having the time to run a playhouse. There's someone that you might wish to speak to right away, then. |
| 40895 Hmm... I was approached by a Lord Jierdan Firkraag. He seemed to suggest that I would need his approval if I were to make it through here. |
| 40896 I haven't had much trouble though. There were a few orcs, but they seemed to be afraid of this area. |
| 40897 Greetings, greetings, greetings! I am Higgold, director of fine theatricals, musicals, and other entertainments. Most recently from Calimport, where I needn't return quickly due to the sensitivity of one particular huzzah... |
| 40898 ...but we needn't get into that. Goodman Thunderburp has told me your situation, and I would be pleased to offer my service as director of this fine concern! |
| 40900 They might be in league with Firkraag. He is here somewhere with a kidnap victim. |
| 40901 All the better for us then. What are you looking for? |
| 40903 Now, let's see... yes, mm-hm... yes, this looks like a fine playhouse. Athkatla hasn't had many of these. Traveling troupes? Yes. Permanent playhouses? No. |
| 40904 I know a few actors that aren't working, but it'll take some time to find them, as well as a worthy play to put into production. A week for that, I think. |
| 40905 About six weeks after that for rehearsing and then this playhouse of yours should start making decent coin, so long as all goes well. |
| 40906 Historically speaking, yes. I am an academic, not some cutesy well-bosomed relic hunter. You may be able to help me. Care to talk about a partnership of sorts? |
| 40907 Your part, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>, is to provide the investment to stage the play as well as make important decisions. You'll also reap the majority of the profits. |
| 40908 Is what you are seeking... valuable? |
| 40909 So... what do you say, then? Do we have a deal? |
| 40910 I see. Well, I am glad to have the company of a fellow academic. Perhaps we should team up for a time, maybe form a temporary partnership. |
| 40911 All right... a deal it is. |
| 40912 No, I'm not interested. |
| 40913 Excellent! I'll start looking for actors and a play right away. It shouldn't take more than half a week, and I'll send word as soon as I'm ready to go. |
| 40914 So... a few days it is. When you come next, bring some coin for investment... and then we can get this playhouse rolling once again! |
| 40915 Then it is good I refused his sponsorship. It has, however, left me lacking support. Perhaps a temporary partnership? We could benefit each other quite nicely. |
| 40916 What do you intend to do, then? You do not know where to find the actors, and Goodman Thunderburp says you've other business to take care of! |
| 40917 I seek the tomb of King Strohm III of Tethyr. He lost his life to treachery, a sad end for a noble man. I hope to find texts in his tomb that will detail his life. |
| 40918 'Tis the dream of any bard to be a patron for an established playhouse, no? And without me, you'd certainly have to give up your wandering life, to be sure. |
| 40919 If you put it that way, how could I refuse? |
| 40920 Well, if it isn't the proprietor of my own playhouse! Good and well met, friend! Things are going well in the theater, I assume? Ah, I certainly hope so. |
| 40921 Fighter |
| 40922 Fighter |
| 40923 But Samuel Thunderburp is pleased to offer the service of his bar, whether you be here to celebrate or drown a sorrow. Tell me, what I can do for you? |
| 40924 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 40925 Well, do come back soon, as you feel up to it. The playhouse brings me plenty o' business as it stands, and I'd like to keep you as happy as you can be! |
| 40926 What do you know about the murders in this area? |
| 40927 But I cannot pass beyond this area. I have the key, but something prevents my entry. Perhaps the magic was attuned to stop those of a certain heritage. |
| 40928 I'll be on my way. |
| 40929 Probably a hold-over from at time of war, They did not want enemies defiling the tomb. You can guess what I am going to ask, can't you? |
| 40930 Well, if it isn't the former proprietor of my playhouse! Well met and good day! I trust life treats you well enough, even though I notice an extra scar or two. |
| 40931 Ah, ye're one of the folks that's taken over the playhouse, aren't you? Well, I don't know why Samuel even lets that place out. All folks around here do is criticize it... no offense. |
| 40932 You wish me to enter and retrieve what I can? I will be glad to help. |
| 40933 You wish me to risk my neck while you wait back here. Is that the idea? |
| 40934 I'm afraid I cannot help you. I have other things to do. |
| 40935 Please! I've had enough of your unbathed posturing for one lifetime. Leave me be! |
| 40936 I thank you. Here is a key which opens the first door. Inside you should find the tomb, though I doubt it will be unguarded. |
| 40937 The texts I seek should be in his burial chamber. Once you get them, return to me and I shall compensate you. Good luck... you'll likely need it. |
| 40938 Idiot! There lies my niece, stone dead by your incompetence! Take her to a temple and have her raised, you fool! With her father dead, this family needs its heir! |
| 40939 That is my suggestion. I shall compensate you, of course. I have come so far, and I should hate to leave empty-handed. |
| 40940 Oh, all right, I'll help. |
| 40941 I am sorry, but I cannot help. |
| 40942 So, you did manage to stumble your way into victory. Expect no reward beyond what you've undoubtedly stolen from my home. The sooner you're away from here, the better. |
| 40943 Why can't you help? I should think an adventuring sort like you would jump at the chance to help someone in need. Are you sure you will not change your mind? |
| 40944 Well done, Nalia. These boorish peasants you've found quite outdid themselves with an unexpected level of competence. Now get rid of them! |
| 40945 I apologize, but I cannot spare the time right now. |
| 40946 Very well. I will see what I can do. |
| 40947 This treasure must be valuable. Perhaps I should take it for myself. |
| 40948 Oh... ye're that <CHARNAME> that I'm supposed to find, right? Ye matches the description an' everything... ye ARE <CHARNAME>, aye? |
| 40949 Anyway... I's Meck, an' I work fer Higgold. An' you too, I guess. Higgold sent me to find ye... he says that he's got everyone together at the playhouse, if ye want t' drop by an' see. |
| 40950 Higgold says don't take too long. Or take all year, if ye likes, but the playhouse won't make any coin if ye does that. Anyway... I's told ye, an' now I's done. |
| 40951 Blast. I hoped to get you to do the grunt work. I'll do it, but not with you at my back. You'd leave me dead and take whatever I found... that's what I was planning. |
| 40952 You can turn off party A.I. by pressing the 'lantern' button on the bottom right of the main screen. |
| 40953 Akae! The plan did not work! Strike now! |
| 40954 The adventure does not have to end once you have finished BG2. |
| 40955 Oh no, you'll not threaten me. Think you'll get me to do the work and then take what I earn? No, <SIRMAAM>. I won't fall for my own plan. |
| 40956 Spell Absorbed by Harper Pin |
| 40957 I thank you for your help. How have you been faring? |
| 40958 All goes well. I am simply taking my time to lessen the risk overall. |
| 40959 I have changed my mind. This will take far too much of my time. Take your key back. |
| 40960 I am thinking I will take everything for myself. It is pointless for you to wait here. |
| 40961 Wise, very wise. I await your return eagerly. |
| 40962 What? Blast, why did I waste my time on this idiotic plan? Did you hear that, Akae?! Your stupid plan has failed! We'll be doing it ourselves, just as I thought! |
| 40963 Get out here and help me finish this fool! I'll not have <PRO_HIMHER> wandering around while I risk my own neck! |
| 40964 You have done well. I had my doubts about this plan, but it worked. Get some fool to take the risks, and then we take the treasure and bury them in the tomb! |
| 40965 Sorry to crush any illusions you had about this academic adventure, but I'm more concerned with how much I can sell these little trinkets for. |
| 40966 You! You may have killed Samia, but I'll not let you leave with treasure rightfully ours! Do you hear?! I'll not! |
| 40967 I am the gatekeeper. Here is the fallen king, laid low by his enemies as the Year of the Burning Sky fell to the Year of the Harvest of Scales. My eyes see all to guard as I should. |
| 40968 Two Levels Drained |
| 40969 Three Levels Drained |
| 40970 I just love this Turmish play! I wonder where the curse came from... maybe the sorcerer in it is real? Do you think, perhaps? |
| 40971 Things are quite different now that Higgold has the playhouse. We're preparing for a very large production that's going to run most of next year... Higgold says he's going to make me the star! |
| 40972 This is just wonderful! The official playhouse of Athkatla! What an honor! I am so glad I listened to Higgold and came here! Oooh... what play are we going to do next?! I can't wait! |
| 40973 Eh? Excuse me... I'm trying to get into character! Can't you see that?! |
| 40974 The cursed play... and we're right in the middle of it. 'Tis the actor's dream to have it done well, though it seldom is... |
| 40975 Things always go wrong during a run of the Turmish play. Always. You can count on it. Someone crossed the sorcerer whom this play laments, you can be sure. |
| 40976 Higgold is a good enough man to run the playhouse. He does a fine turn at acting, too. Hmph. I simply wish he would stop bedding Wynn and making the girl promises he won't keep. |
| 40977 'Tis a grand thing to have the council anoint the playhouse so. And an even greater honor to be a part of the troupe that done it. This will be a great place someday... a fine, honorable theater. |
| 40978 Oooh... Sometimes I get such bad stage fright, I can barely stand it! |
| 40979 Four Levels Drained |
| 40980 I knew it! I knew it! Things always go wrong during the Turmish play! Oh, I just wonder what's going to go wrong, now that the play will be going on for a long time... |
| 40981 *sigh* Higgold has been spending so much time with Wynn. I just know that I'm not going to get a big part next year. I wish you all had stayed as the owners. |
| 40982 Ooooh, this is SO wonderful! Actors are never looked on highly here, but this... this is SUCH an honor! I... I could become famous! |
| 40983 *sniff* Being an actress is quite difficult. One must get into character... see into the motivation of the role. Capture the essence, so to speak. But I'm sure you wouldn't know anything of that. |
| 40984 We are tempting the fates by putting on this play. I even heard Higgold say its real name. Ah well, I suppose this was all fine while it endured. |
| 40985 I knew this would happen. You could have asked me, and I would have told you. If this play does well, it will only be due to my talent. |
| 40986 Hmph. As long as Higgold continues to pay well, I suppose I will stay. But he had best hire some other good performers, aside from myself, for the next season if he has hopes of surviving. |
| 40987 I knew my talent would one day bring me this honor. To be part of an official playhouse in Amn... truly, this was my destiny. |
| 40988 Why is everyone is such a fuss? Just a few lines to memorize and some prancin' about on stage. No big matter. |
| 40989 You know... one of the stage gnomes fell off the scaffolding during out last rehearsal. 'Tis the curse. Should be a chuckle to see what happens next. |
| 40990 You are not of the scale, but you are also not of the family. You have passed the door, but shall not go further. Down, down to the ground in reverence for the dead. |
| 40991 Come! Come and listen to my damnable speech. Hear what I must say due to terms of service. Then you shall die out of duty and out of hate. |
| 40992 I am a guardian of the king that has fallen. Here lies he that cleared the air, that pulled the scale with his life and limb. Here lies he that saw the fire, and here lies ye that would disturb his rest! |
| 40993 I am a guardian; I rot with the bones of a king. His rule pulled the Scale, for he alone saw the coming fire. He gave his life to the fire, to weaken the Scale and triumph in death. |
| 40994 I... I feel a lump coming on. In my throat. Do you think it's the curse? Hmph. Maybe we shouldn't have done this play. |
| 40995 Grr... I am a guardian. Many a drow did fall in the cleansing, but red came a Wing to their call and their aid. |
| 40996 I suppose Higgold can keep on doing whatever he was before. And just as well, too. Except that he spends money like a Calishite. |
| 40997 It's a mighty great honor to be chosen by the council... I'm rather glad I came to this playhouse. Thinking I might just be here for a while, actually... |
| 40998 I'm... I'm just the understudy, more or less, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. And I do some of the stage backgrounds... painting, mostly. Higgold says I might make a real actor someday. |
| 40999 Ew, there's going to be trouble now, isn't there? The cursed play... always wanted to see it. Didn't dare, though. Make you blind, I hear. |
| 41000 Er... I'm trying my best to help out, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Really, I am. Being an actor, though... I don't know... at least the play is really wonderfully written. |
| 41001 I didn't know they ever kept a steady playhouse in Athkatla. People here... aren't the real theatergoing type. Can't show off your wealth enough, I guess... |
| 41002 Change Chicken |
| 41003 We're all going to be famous! Next year should be even better! |
| 41004 I am a guardian. Pulled was the Scale and deep fled the foe, but mourned did a people for their fallen king. Victory's cost was the end of a rule. |
| 41005 I am... a guardian. Dead... dead was the king and covered was he, that the scars of victory not frighten the living. |
| 41006 None shall follow, save those that see as far and as clear as he. |
| 41007 The path past the fire leads to rest well deserved; the path past the fire is clear to his eyes. |
| 41008 I must thank you for the timely rescue. I was worried my life was at in its last moments. Please, let me pay you something that I might show my gratitude. |
| 41009 I think I'll be taking everything you have, actually. Hand it all over. |
| 41010 No, I refuse to accept anything. I was only helping as any decent person would. |
| 41011 You are too kind. I thank you for anything you can spare. |
| 41012 What?! You are no more a hero than those blasted monsters! What has become of this land?! |
| 41013 You are far too noble, but if that is your wish, so be it. I thank you and will speak well of you in my travels. |
| 41014 It is my pleasure. I am only too happy to trade my life for a few paltry coins or trinkets. Safe travels to you. I cannot thank you enough. |
| 41015 I did not think we deserved an audience. Dispatching these creatures was well and truly easy. |
| 41016 Perhaps so, perhaps so, but are we not amazing in combat? Even in these frail and hairless skins? |
| 41017 Hairless perhaps, but frail? Perhaps you should speak for yourself. |
| 41018 Now now, do not fight amongst yourselves. We have plenty to struggle against without turning upon each other. |
| 41019 Indeed. I readily agree. |
| 41020 You would. Anything he says is perfectly acceptable to you. We all know where your loyalties lie. |
| 41021 Oh, just because you are bitter about being too weak to lead, you question everyone that follows as they should. |
| 41022 I said to stop the bickering. Have I not made myself clear? |
| 41023 Indeed. Bad form for a pack to appear as such. |
| 41024 Are we worried about our appearance when it is no more permanent than the shifting of day or night? |
| 41025 Here we go with the philosophical questions again. Can you not just be happy with the hunt? Must you analyze us all? |
| 41026 Uh, excuse me? Are you in need of assistance? I was worried about the gnolls... |
| 41027 Stop all the blasted chatter! Can I get a word in edgewise here?! |
| 41028 You are all obviously busy. I'll leave you to your hunting. Plenty of gnolls out there. |
| 41029 You should be worried about the gnolls. Desperately stupid canines. No sense of self-worth outside of combat. |
| 41030 And how would you know? You've never engaged one in anything BUT combat. |
| 41031 You can see it in their bearing, in the way they hold their tails. |
| 41032 Oh, you cannot. The only thing in their tails is what they sat in yesterday. Filthy things. |
| 41033 You are one to talk. Smell yourself in the morning lately? |
| 41034 That's it, I'm going to kill him. |
| 41035 No, you are not! If you must have blood, then take it from these whelps here. They are the kind we are hunting, after all. |
| 41036 The hunt! I had forgotten. Meat for us all. Pretty clothes for the masquerade. Yes, they are ideal. |
| 41037 They look about our size, and we do go through so many sets of clothing each night. |
| 41038 If you would change before you change, you would not have the problem. |
| 41039 Are you quite through? I'll be leaving now. |
| 41040 What are you bloody well talking about? |
| 41041 No, I'm afraid you won't be going anywhere. I vote we stop playing with the food. |
| 41042 I do feel a bit peckish. |
| 41043 Yes, yes, enough with the chatter. |
| 41044 Finally. |
| 41045 I'm not eating a thing you touch. |
| 41046 You really tick me off, you know? |
| 41047 Yes, actually, I do. |
| 41048 Oooh, now I've really got to kill something. |
| 41049 Well that was rude. I'm not sure <HESHE> is to my tastes at all. |
| 41050 Since when are you so picky? |
| 41051 He's always been like that. Won't even hunt if he's having a bad fur day. |
| 41052 He refuses to hunt? That's not his decision; he should follow the will of the pack. |
| 41053 Like a good little puppy, hmmm? |
| 41054 I am not responsible for granting it. This stinks of make-work, but it is not for me to decide. I will return in future tendays with additional duties. |
| 41055 Have you discovered anything about the whereabouts of Imoen? I must know. |
| 41056 The name brings uncomfortable shifts from those in leadership. I will see if there is any more to learn and return when I have something worthwhile to say. |
| 41057 You get some freeloading magelings to make you trinkets. It stinks of make-work. Do what you can; I will return when I have something of value to say. |
| 41058 Y-yes, teacher? Have you valuable instruction to give us? |
| 41059 It is good to see you again, my patron. I have managed to gather together a play as well as a troupe of actors, as I promised. |
| 41060 They are a fine lot. I have worked with some, and they should serve well. As for the play, I have come across a translated copy of, uh, "The Sorcerer's Bane." |
| 41061 Samia's Key |
| 41062 You will like it, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. A grand epic about the pride of a great sorcerer and the love that is his downfall. Seldom performed, but well attended when it is. |
| 41063 The only problem I am having is deciding who will play Karenina, the lead female role. There are two actresses in the troupe who are desperate for the part. |
| 41064 I know them both well and cannot decide, so I shall leave the choice to you. Here... I shall introduce you to both of them, as well as the rest of the actors. |
| 41065 Do you see? Do you see how our enemies fall? Obey your new guild, <CHARNAME>, and it will not be necessary for you to join the thieves in death. Obey, and you shall benefit Mistress Bodhi and yourself. |
| 41066 Samia's Key |
| 41067 Now, here they are. The first two are Wynn and Ketrick; they play several minor roles between them. A fine pair I stole from a traveling troupe a day ago. |
| 41068 No, you are not to see this yet. You have not chosen your side. When the time comes, obey. Obey, or you will join the thieves in death. Such is the will of the mistress. |
| 41069 Greetings, <PRO_LADYLORD> patron. |
| 41070 Their end shall be yours, for you have joined with the cattle. This failure will be your undoing. |
| 41071 As he says, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, Wynn and I play the minor roles. I am a little concerned myself about the curse attached to the play, though... |
| 41072 Pfeh! Pay no attention to that, <CHARNAME>. 'Tis only actor superstition and nothing more. There is no curse on "Sorcerer's Bane," of that you can be sure. |
| 41073 Higgold! Do not mention its name! Call it "the Turmish play" if you must. It is a masterpiece of theater, but the curse is real and you should heed it! |
| 41074 I will call it "the Turmish play" if you wish, but this curse talk will just make us all more upset. It is a play worthy of this troupe, and we will do it. |
| 41075 Yes, that's me. I look forward to learning more of the craft, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 41076 Aye. And the first of our potential Kareninas is an actress that I have worked with before. A fine actress from Murann by the name of Jenna. |
| 41077 One more of these treacherous things put to rest, though there is still you. Do you see what is in store for you, <CHARNAME>? No guild will challenge the Shadow Thieves, no matter whom or what they call members! |
| 41078 Oh... yes. Greetings to you, <PRO_LADYLORD> patron, of course... |
| 41079 Higgold? Is all of this nonsense really necessary? You know that I am a far, far better actress than this Jenna is. Why not simply say I am Karenina and be done with this? |
| 41080 What makes you a better actress than me, Iltheia? |
| 41081 *sigh* I am an elf, my dear. I've had centuries of practice... and the talent, well, is just there to begin with. Don't take it personally, Jenna, that's just the way it is. |
| 41082 Hmph. There's no need to be arrogant about it! |
| 41083 It's not arrogance, merely fact. And the Turmish play is far too difficult a piece for an amateur. Now, Higgold, tell me this is not all necessary! |
| 41084 Now my dear, our patron will be the, ah, one who makes the final decision, not me. Mmm... so, yes, this one is Iltheia. A fine talent from Waterdeep, in fact. |
| 41085 But I really want to be Karenina, Higgold! I'm perfect for the role! Iltheia... Iltheia isn't the type! Karenina is innocent... naive... |
| 41086 While you possess those qualities in abundance, child, that matters little. It is called acting, my dear... and that requires talent and skill and not mere enthusiasm. |
| 41087 That's, ah, quite enough, ladies. I will tell you shortly what our <PRO_LADYLORD> patron has to say about it. Now, if you all go backstage, I will speak to you anon. |
| 41088 So, you've seen both, and you can see my problem. Jenna is perfect for the role and more than willing, but, to tell the truth, Iltheia is a far better actress. |
| 41089 But Iltheia is... how shall I put this... difficult, <CHARNAME>. She is a handful, but a sheer delight to watch. She could bring us great reviews, you see? |
| 41090 Jenna will be less of a problem and will allow the other actors to shine... if she can do the role properly. And who knows? She may surprise me. |
| 41091 What do you think, <CHARNAME>? Which of the two would you like to see in the role? |
| 41092 I don't think we want problems on our first production. Have Jenna play Karenina. |
| 41093 We need a star for our first play... if Iltheia will shine, then have her take the stage. |
| 41094 Vampire Fear |
| 41095 Yes... yes, you are correct. Jenna will do adequately as Karenina, and the playhouse does not need the disruption that Iltheia would hand us. I agree. |
| 41096 Remember this battle. Remember that the Shadow Thieves protect their friends and exact painful penance from their rival guilds, no matter how strong or guarded. |
| 41097 This is the nature of the enemy, <CHARNAME>. This is the rival guild that has been stealing away our membership. Show them no mercy when the chance is yours. |
| 41098 *sigh* Somehow I knew that was what you would say, and it is the right choice, even if I didn't want to admit it. Very well... Iltheia shall play Karenina. |
| 41099 There is one other matter that must be handled before we begin. It is, of course, the investment required. Actors, props, criersâ€â€all of this requires coin. |
| 41100 At minimum, a bare-bones production, we can get by on 1,000 gold pieces. Of course, extra would make the play that much more presentable. |
| 41101 I am not willing to put in 1,000 gp, Higgold. |
| 41102 I do not have 1,000 gp to put into this, Higgold... |
| 41103 Very well. I suppose 1,000 gp is good enough... but I am willing to part with no more. |
| 41104 I can afford to put in a bit more than 1,000 gp, I suppose. |
| 41105 Ah. I thought... well, no matter. We shall have to get some of our items on credit and pay the actors from the proceeds. It will be very bare-bones indeed. |
| 41106 You will only get half the usual profits as a result, but I am sure we'll earn enough to pay all involved, and we can use any profit to fund next season, yes? |
| 41107 Are you sure of that, <CHARNAME>? 1,000 gold will yield a small production with few props. More will make all the difference here... |
| 41108 1,000 gold is all I wish to spend, Higgold. |
| 41109 I suppose I could afford more than 1,000 gp. |
| 41110 That is a relief. A finely wrought production should make a tidy profit in this culture-starved city. So, how much do you think would suffice? |
| 41111 Actually, perhaps 1,000 gp is enough after all. |
| 41112 I can afford 2,000 gp. |
| 41113 I can afford 3,000 gp. |
| 41114 I will put in 4,000 gp, Higgold. |
| 41115 I will put in 5,000 gp, Higgold. |
| 41116 10,000 gp, no more. |
| 41117 If that is what you wish. We will skimp on the extras... and minimal props... but it can be done. Hopefully, the acting is good, and you might yet make a profit. |
| 41118 You know this is the only choice. Be sensible. |
| 41119 Most excellent, <CHARNAME>. The extra gold will do well put towards spreading the word of the play and buying extra props and backdrops. |
| 41120 Wonderful! We can have some very elaborate costumes made, then, as well as some fine props! This should be a most excellent production! |
| 41121 This should be a first-class production then. Costumes, props, proper artists to do backdrops, and criers will shout across Athkatla for opening night! |

| 41138 I didn't suggest otherwise. But they say that the sorcerer that the play mocks really existed... and that he cursed the play for mocking him. |
| 41139 I joined for the chance to be part of this play, to play the sorcerer himself. Not many attempt it. But I won't have the curse taken lightly... |
| 41140 I shall treat it with caution, Zaren. *sigh* That, <CHARNAME>, was Zaren, our Turmish sorcerer Velden. A fine actor from Scornubel that I managed to entice. |
| 41141 And let's see... Marcus, isn't it? A journeyman actor still learning. He will play apprentice Whitten, some minor parts, as well as work with props and such. |
| 41142 The ruins to the east of the den have long been a place of foreboding to my pack and me. We had no desire to tread the ground of the fallen temple. |
| 41143 You do paint a rather pretty picture, but I heard some nasty stuff about what happens to those that join. |
| 41144 The temple was once dedicated to Amaunator, a god of the sun, and a great prophetess is buried within. It was holy ground once, though now it is fouled. |
| 41145 Rumors and hearsay. I am here before you as the proverbial horse's mouth. You may take what I say at my word, or you will end like all the others will. |
| 41146 It is obvious that Amaunator's power has waned, for if this were still his consecrated ground, my doom would never have arisen from the bowels of the temple. |
| 41147 See, there you go threatening. Though I suppose my own guild has threatened no less. I just don't know. |
| 41148 Go on. |
| 41149 Your tale rings false. I am the only doom that you need worry yourself with. |
| 41150 Some weeks ago, muted rumblings were heard beneath the temple. We paid little heed to them until the skies darkened and the shadows deepened. |
| 41151 Well then, now that business is resolved, we shall begin rehearsals at once. There will be much, much to do, naturally, and only six or seven weeks to do it in. |
| 41152 If any problems require attention, <CHARNAME>, I will send Meck to find you, but please visit as you wish. This is, after all, your playhouse and home. |
| 41153 Before I run off, however, and slap this sorry group of actors into shape, perhaps you'd like to ask a question or two? |
| 41154 It was high noon when it happened, and the pack gathered so that I might calm them. I thought it to be an eclipse. It was not. |
| 41155 When do I start making money? |
| 41156 How often do you need me to be present here? |
| 41157 What's the real story behind this curse? |
| 41158 No, I think I'll be on my way. |
| 41159 Heh. We have to rehearse first, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Once the play opens, profits will come, not to worry. It will, though, depend on how well opening night goes. |
| 41160 How often do you need me to be present here? |
| 41161 What's the real story behind this curse? |
| 41162 I'll be going, then. |
| 41163 As often as you are needed, <CHARNAME>... which should not be too much. Considering that we are doing the Turmish play, you can never be certain. |
| 41164 And you will, of course, need to be present for the dress rehearsal before the play opens, to approve it. I'll keep you abreast of any problems aside from that. |
| 41165 When do I start making money? |
| 41166 What's the real story behind this curse? |
| 41167 What happens if you can't get ahold of me? I travel a fair amount. |
| 41168 Well, I'll be going, then. |
| 41169 Hmm, well, if you can't return soon enough, I will make my own judgment. For large problems, though, I may have to wait until your return. We shall see. |
| 41170 When do I start making money? |
| 41171 What's the real story behind this curse? |
| 41172 Well, I'll be going, then. |
| 41173 Ah... it's a long story, really. Zaren is rightâ€â€the tale says there was an actual Turmish sorcerer named Velden and that he cursed the play out of anger. |
| 41174 The Shade Lord came among us then. He dominated my wolves, my children, with a glance. I changed form and leapt at his darkness, but he merely laughed. |
| 41175 Stories have abounded of troupes abandoning the play due to strange mishaps and deaths and such, but these are stories and nothing more. |
| 41176 The playwright, Brode, was a master. It is a fine play, one that will bring acclaim if we get it off the ground. That is why I chose it, the curse be damned! |
| 41177 "Anath," he said, "Bend to my will. You shall be the means of my revenge." He walked amongst the terrified wolves and killed them all with a touch. |
| 41178 When do I start making money? |
| 41179 How often do you need me to be present here? |
| 41180 Well, I'll be going, then. |
| 41181 As you wish, then. I shall get started and see you when next you stop in, <CHARNAME>. |
| 41182 Once they were all dead, his darkness reached out to the corpses of my children and animated them as shade wolves. Numb with terror and sorrow, I ran. |
| 41183 You know. You just haven't said it out loud yet. |
| 41184 Greetings, my patron. Everything is proceeding fairly well... although it is still quite early in the rehearsal stage, naturally. Nothing to worry about yet. |
| 41185 Good to see you, my patron. We had a problem with Iltheia angering the others, you see... but the situation has been... handled... as best as I was able. I had to do something. |
| 41186 Good to see you, my patron. We had a problem with Iltheia sabotaging Jenna, but... it has been dealt with, more or less. I made a decision as best as I was able. |
| 41187 Hmph! Women! Anyway, the situation has been resolved. All is proceeding normally, except perhaps for some hurt feelings. Nothing new to the theater, though. |
| 41188 I fear a problem has arisen. Zaren was improvising dialogue... said his was better. I said to stop, and he isn't happy. I had to make a decision on my own, though. |
| 41189 The play is proceeding, my patron. There have been a few hiccups, as is to be expected, but I am sure we will finish the play without further problems. |
| 41190 A problem has arisen, I fear. Strange noises and things going missing, <CHARNAME>. The actors are spooked... they think it's the curse. |
| 41191 Perhaps, but I... wait, someone is listening to us! Get out of here before they see us! Go! We'll take care of these spies. |
| 41192 There's no end of complications, are there? If it weren't for the curse, everything would be running fine! *sigh* This had better all be worth it, that's all I can say. |
| 41193 A problem has arisen, I fear. Some of the troupe isn't happy with Zaren. He seriously wants to rewrite portions of the play! |
| 41194 There's no end of complications, are there? The cast is jittery, mad, sniping at each other... HAH! Actors are like children, but the play WILL be ready, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 41195 A problem has arisen, I fear. The musician we had hired disappeared, oddly... debt problems, I hear. And he took the music score with him. |
| 41196 There's no end of complications, are there? Bloody actors! Bah! All I ask is for them to ACT! You'd think they'd be willing to do THAT! |
| 41197 There's no end of complications, are there? There were Turmish fanatics here, protesting the play. They ruined a lot of props before the guard ousted them. |
| 41198 Eh, the play is coming along... rather well, my patron. The dress rehearsal is tomorrow, once we clean up this mess. Best you go get some rest and let me take care of this. |
| 41199 Greetings, patron. Opening night is soon; the actors are quite excited. Me, I just hope it goes well. It will do wonders for my reputation. |
| 41200 Greetings, my patron, it is good you are here! I didn't foresee troubles so soon, but the girlsâ€â€ah, it will be easier if I call them out. A moment, patron. |
| 41201 Good, the <PRO_LADYLORD> patron is here! Now maybe <PRO_HESHE> can do something about you! |
| 41202 Do something about me? Why, child, whatever are you talking about? I have done nothing. |
| 41203 Nothing?! You upstage me whenever you get the chance! You speak your lines like you're a queen, you stand in front of me on the stage... and last night you knocked me down with that... that arm flourish of yours! |
| 41204 A coincidence. And my style is my own; do not be so petty. Perhaps if you were a better actress, you would not worry so. |
| 41205 A better...! Ahhh! Higgold, do you HEAR this?! I can't take any more of this! All she wants to do is soak up the front of the stage! |
| 41206 I am simply trying to put all I can into a minor role. I don't know why you gave me such a small role... it could be so much better. Luna could do so much more to make the play more emotionally charged. |
| 41207 It simply seems so constricting to be exiled to a small role and watch this... this amateur fumble about with Karenina. I can't abide it. |
| 41208 Enough! Both of you! |
| 41209 <CHARNAME>, this has been going on for days! They will not listen to anything I say! Please tell me what I should do... so that they will listen! |
| 41210 Oh, good... it's the <PRO_LADYLORD> patron. Now, maybe <PRO_HESHE> can do something about you and your attitude. |
| 41211 The edges of this pit are scratched and torn, as if some large creature has moved through here recently. The darkness of the pit is a black so deep it strains your eyes just to see it. |
| 41212 MY attitude? I think you are mistaken, little one. I am not the one with an attitude here. Perhaps you should consider paying more attention to your betters. |
| 41213 What?! You are not my better, Iltheia! All you do is strut about like you're a queen ever since you got placed in the lead! And yet you still find time to complain constantly! |
| 41214 Karenina is the major role in the play, and I have much to concern myself with. It is a role that only I can play properly, and yet I receive almost no recognition for it! |
| 41215 Recognition? What, you want us all to lie at your feet now?! |
| 41216 No, no. But I do think I deserve more monetary compensation. I AM playing Karenina, after all... and my stellar performance will make this theater shine. |
| 41217 You've got a lot of nerve! I bet that I could play Kar |
| 41218 Well... Iltheia does have more talent, experience, and drive. Perhaps she should be in the lead. |
| 41219 Iltheia, play your role as it is meant to be! Any more nonsense and you'll be out on the street with NO part at all! |
| 41220 Perhaps Iltheia's role could be expanded a little. It will give her a chance to shine and perhaps help the play overall. |
| 41221 I will not suffer a prima donna, Iltheia; it will hurt the play. Jenna, you will play Karenina from now on. |
| 41222 You are an excellent actress, Iltheia... Perhaps you are deserving of a bit more pay as a result. But only if I see results. |
| 41223 I will not allow this nonsense, Iltheia. Any more and you will have no role at all! |
| 41224 This is just petty bickering. There's no reason for me to get involved... let them settle it by themselves. |
| 41225 Good enough. The decision has been made, girls, and I will not hear another word about this! Back to rehearsals, both of you! |
| 41226 Wh-what?! You... you would just... take it away from me? But it isn't my fault! |
| 41227 Obviously, a <PRO_MANWOMAN> possessing a great deal of common sense. |
| 41228 I... I see. I suppose I have little choice, seeing as my role is small enough as it is. You waste my talents, patron. |
| 41229 I think your only talent lies in your overestimation of your ability... |
| 41230 *sigh* I suppose that is better than nothing at all. |
| 41231 But... but that goes against what the play is supposed to be about! You can't just give into her like this! |
| 41232 You fool! You hand the role over to an amateur?! Have you no sense?! |
| 41233 Well, <PRO_HESHE> has a sense of justice, at least, and I can play the role just fine, thank you. I'll do it better just to spite you, if I have to. |
| 41234 You will see results, patron. I am as talented as you have heard, and I am worth it. I would like an additional 500 gold. |
| 41235 500? Forget it. Jenna will play the lead instead if you're going to pull that. |
| 41236 Don't be absurd! You'll get nothing, then! And if I hear of any more of this idiocy, you'll be out on the street with no role to play! |
| 41237 I didn't do anything. I'm just out here enjoying the night. |
| 41238 I'll give you 100 gold, no more. Take that and be happy with it. |
| 41239 500... very well. I expect to see your best performance ever. |
| 41240 Hello there, friend. Something I can do for you? |
| 41241 Be quiet, fool! We... we don't want to alarm this... Wait a minute. |
| 41242 I see. |
| 41243 Wonderful! Now she will be completely impossible to live with! |
| 41244 I know you! You are <CHARNAME>, or at least part of <PRO_HISHER> group. I don't think I met <PRO_HIMHER> in person, but I heard what happened. Joined with that other guild, <PRO_HESHE> did. |
| 41245 I've been told about you. The Shadow Thieves are interested in you something fierce, but then the new guild is too. There will be some blood over that, I'm sure. |
| 41246 I... I know you. You're that <CHARNAME>, or you're in <PRO_HISHER> group at least. I heard about the deal with the Shadow Thieves, the... ah... guild that we two are proud members of. |
| 41247 *sigh* I suppose it will have to do. Very well, I accept your offer and will play the role as I am expected. |
| 41248 You... you're going to LET her blackmail you?! |
| 41249 I guess we don't have to worry about you turning us in to the Shadow Thieves. Hey, if you can give us a good word in the new guild, we would appreciate it. |
| 41250 The Shade Lord seems to be the true source of this evil. We will help you kill him. |
| 41251 And you shall. I shall astound the heavens themselves for you, patron. |
| 41252 We'd better get out of here for now. No telling who's watching us. |
| 41253 I go to face him now. If you value the pitiful man-things of Imnesvale, you will follow me to the temple and kill him if I fail. Good hunting! |
| 41254 Better pick the right side when it comes time to choose. I know I am. Good luck to you. |
| 41255 What?! You're going to do NOTHING?! |
| 41256 And why should <PRO_HESHE>? This problem lies entirely in your head, Jenna. With some more experience, you will see that things are not always as you assume them to be. |
| 41257 Enough, ladies. You heard the <PRO_MANWOMAN>... solve it between yourselves. And I don't want to see any more displays that disrupt the show! Off you go! |
| 41258 Yes. Proud. |
| 41259 Yeah... Aw heck, <HESHE>'s not buying it, I just know it. I guess we make our choice now then! |
| 41260 Help! You've got to help! Please! |
| 41261 Oh no. They're here! They've caught me! |
| 41262 What? What is the matter? |
| 41263 Get away from me. I don't have to do anything for anyone. |
| 41264 If you are in need of aid, I am available for hire as a mercenary. |
| 41265 Pretty, pretty cattle, you cannot run. Ahh, you have found some helpers to aid in your chase. I wonder if your saviors will prove as useful as you hope. |
| 41266 Stand aside, <CHARNAME>. You are a member of the mistress's guild and are spared our wrath, but you will not interrupt our sport or feeding. |
| 41267 Ahh, I know of this one. <CHARNAME>, I believe. You are spared our wrath because of choices to come. Leave this place, and leave this creature to us. You are allied to neither of us yet. |
| 41268 Ahh, <CHARNAME>, creature of shadow, or at least, Shadow Thieves. A pity you had not made a different decision when the time came to choose. A pity your taste in guilds was not different. |
| 41269 As you will. I'm sure this thieving scoundrel deserves his fate. |
| 41270 I cannot allow this to come to pass in my sight. Leave him be. |
| 41271 Let's have some more sport with him then. Allow me the kill. |
| 41272 Wisely decided. Leave us to do what we must. |
| 41273 We are in no mood to be patient! If you must cower with cattle, you will die with the cattle! |
| 41274 You are of a like mind, but the kill is ours to take. It is our way. Go, and tend to what guild business you can. |
| 41275 Then he is yours. I have no stake in your conflict. |
| 41276 I will not allow this killing. That I am uninvolved does not make it right. |
| 41277 Kill him then. I shall watch and enjoy the show. |
| 41278 You share a streak of cruelty with us, but we do not know you yet. Leave us to do what we must. The kill is ours. |
| 41279 <CHARNAME>, it is good that you have come. I have a... crisis with Zaren. He thinks he is too good to follow the scriptâ€â€well, he should be here to defend himself. |
| 41280 Aha! Talking about me, are you? |
| 41281 I've told you a hundred times to stop your damn improvising! Since you won't listen, I asked the <PRO_LADYLORD> patron to come and tell you the same! |
| 41282 But I know that my character can be better than what's written here! Do you honestly think that the lines I put in don't make the play better? |
| 41283 No matter. You will fall with your current brethren. You will die for the fate of a single little thief. We shall feast tonight! |
| 41284 That's not the point! The other actors never know what you're going to do! They don't improvise as well as you do, and this is not the place for it anyway! |
| 41285 I... I thank you for saving me. I thought I was dead for certain. |
| 41286 But my lines ARE better, aren't they? And this is the perfect place for it! This is the theater! Whatever makes the play better is best for all of us! |
| 41287 Better for you, perhaps. But the other actors can't keep up with you, man! |
| 41288 Then let me make changes to the script! I know I could do it! I know I could, and it would be a better play! Velden needs more of an edge... and the romance with Karenina could be so much more... more passionate! |
| 41289 *sigh* See, <CHARNAME>? There's no reasoning with him. It's been a disruption for more than a week now. You'll just tell him to stop this nonsense, right? |
| 41290 Actually, there's no reason that we shouldn't let Zaren make changes to the script if he believes in it so much. |
| 41291 I did not expect charity from a member of their selfsame guild. I thank you for this, though next time we meet we shall probably be at each other's throats. |
| 41292 You do not seem to have the same cruel streak through you that these creatures displayed. Remember that when you choose your allegiance in future. Once again, I thank you. |
| 41293 Good to see that you are willing to risk your neck for a fellow ally of the Shadow Thief guild. Looks like you were well worth the risk. Again, I thank you. |
| 41294 I see nothing wrong with improvisation... especially if the lines are good. The others will just have to keep up. |
| 41295 Of course. The play isn't just about you, Zaren... you're part of a troupe. And the script is a good one... follow it. |
| 41296 YES! You are a wonderful <PRO_MANWOMAN>, patron! I won't let you down! The play will be the better for it, just you wait and see! |
| 41297 *sigh* I doubt the other actors will be happy. Rewriting the Turmish play? It's... well, you've made your decision, <CHARNAME>. I'll support it. |
| 41298 Off you go then, Zaren... and don't gloat or I'll be rewriting your scenes myself. |
| 41299 There! See, Higgold? I told you that the <PRO_LADYLORD> patron knew what the theater was all about! |
| 41300 Fine, fine... just... DON'T make it harder on the other actors! They're angry enough as it is. There's no need to further aggravate them with your nonsense. |
| 41301 If you want to change something, let me know first. I'll support <CHARNAME>'s decision. Maybe there is... some... room for creative improvisation. |
| 41302 *sigh* I know. I've always loved the Turmish play and wanted to play the lead. It's just that... now that I'm here, I just KNOW I could do so much more with it... |
| 41303 I'll... do as you say, <PRO_LADYLORD> patron. I just don't know if my heart will be fully into it. |
| 41304 It had better be. And at least this will calm the rest of the troupe down for once. Off you go, Zaren, and remember, this is still a masterful play you're in. |
| 41305 <CHARNAME>! Thank Milil you've come! I... I've a rebellion here! The actors are all in such a state, and I can do nothing with them! You must help me! |
| 41306 Aha! The <PRO_LADYLORD> patron is here! Finally! |
| 41307 Patron! You must do something about all these changes that Zaren is making to the script! They are... are... reprehensible! You cannot change the Turmish play! |
| 41308 And why not?! It's better, isn't it? |
| 41309 You really should reconsider. You know it is in your best interests. |
| 41310 Patron! You must do something about all this... this... improvisation! It is ghastly! We never know what is going to happen next! What is the point of memorizing our lines?! |
| 41311 There's nothing wrong with some imagination! If it feels right, you do it! You could use some real emotion in your acting, Iltheia! |
| 41312 I have told you that I have no interest in betraying my guild! I do not believe your lies. I have heard the stories... |
| 41313 Mere stories, told to frighten you into staying with a dying organization. Why would they fear competition? Because they are weak. |
| 41314 Patron! Zaren has mentioned to you his desire to change things in the play. And some of us are beginning to feel the same! |
| 41315 No, we have lost some members, but I have heard that many did not go willingly. |
| 41316 Aye! Iltheia has some ideas for her character... and I still know that Velden could be a much more powerful presence on the stage! |
| 41317 Nonsense. They were as free in their wills as you are now. As you are now. |
| 41318 This play is a masterpiece! You have some gall thinking you can change it for the better! |
| 41319 Well... some of the lines are better, I think. But... it's changing all the time! Every day it's something new! |
| 41320 And something better! Why not?! |
| 41321 Because we have to be finished for rehearsal, you fool! We... we cannot live like this! We do not get paid enough to put up with this! |
| 41322 If something isn't done, we're walking out! Jenna feels the same, and Wynn is tired of it too! |
| 41323 You dare?! I am a professional, and I cannot continue to work with all these constant changes! |
| 41324 But if it makes the play better, then it's a good thing! |
| 41325 Some of it's better... but every day, it's something new! Every day, something gets changed! We don't get paid enough for this! We'll walk out if something isn't done! |
| 41326 I'm sick of this! You even got Jenna thinking about making changes! Enough! Every day, it's something new! |
| 41327 And what is wrong with that? Afraid of a few changes? You are not enough of an actor to cope, Ketrick? |
| 41328 I just want a finished play! Something final! Make all the damn changes you want, but I just can't work like this! I don't get paid enough! |
| 41329 If something isn't done, patron, we're walking out. None of us can take any more of this one way or another. |
| 41330 You see? Do you see what I have been putting up with? Put an end to this, <CHARNAME>, please! |
| 41331 Everything will be fine! You have to trust in Zaren and in the artistic process! He has my support. |
| 41332 As you are now. There, isn't that better? Whom do you follow now? Shhhh, yes, I know. |
| 41333 I see you lurking about over there! I think it would be best if you moved on. No need in you losing your life over something as simple as this. |
| 41334 Everything will be fine! You have to trust in Zaren and in the artistic process! He has my support. |
| 41335 There will be no changes, as I said, and I trust each of you will do a fine job. It is good you care so much... now put that passion into your work! |
| 41336 Ahh, it is you, <CHARNAME>. The recruiting of Shadow Thief guild members continues quite well, don't you think? This spry little fellow has decided to join the mistress's cause. |
| 41337 Ahh, I know of you. This is your end if you fail the choosing when the time comes. Ours shall be the stronger guild, and you shall serve it well. Remember. |
| 41338 You? I know of you. I fear you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, and certainly acting for the wrong side. This is the fate for all of you. Shall I make him dance? Yes, I think so! |
| 41339 There will be no changes, as I said, and I trust each of you will do a fine job. It is good you care so much... now put that passion into your work! |
| 41340 Things will proceed as I have said; I expect each of you to stop all this. You are here because I pay you... perhaps a bonus of 500 gp will convince you. |
| 41341 If you want to walk out, then fine. Go. But you'll not be paid a copper. This is my playhouse, and things are done as I wish. |
| 41342 I'll end this right now. I'll rewrite the play myself, and that will be the version that gets used. No arguments. |
| 41343 I'll end this right now. I'll rewrite the play myself, and that will be the version that gets used. No arguments. |
| 41344 I'll end this right now. I'll rewrite the play myself, and that will be the version that gets used. No arguments. |
| 41345 Not a prize specimen, perhaps, but every little bit shall help, I am sure. I am sure the plan is epic in design. Good eve to you, <CHARNAME>; I must return to the mistress's chambers. |
| 41346 Attack them, slave! Attack those you would call <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>! |
| 41347 I... suppose the patron is correct. |
| 41348 You! Stand and declare your allegiance! Are you Shadow Thief? |
| 41349 Now that is the best thing I have heard this week. Now... back to work, all of you! |
| 41350 What? Why are you asking? |
| 41351 Out of my way. I have no time for this. |
| 41352 A yes or no is all that is required! Declare your allegiance! Are you Shadow Thief? |
| 41353 Hmph. We are just supposed to listen to this and all will be better? |
| 41354 Yes, I currently work for the Shadow Thieves. |
| 41355 Yes, I currently work for the Shadow Thieves. |
| 41356 Yes, I currently work for the Shadow Thieves. |
| 41357 *sigh* What would you rather, Iltheia? That we are out on the street? |
| 41358 I do not have allegiance to any such guild. |
| 41359 I do not have allegiance to any such guild. |
| 41360 I do not have allegiance to any such guild. |
| 41361 I work for Mistress Bodhi. Are you threatening me? |
| 41362 Proclamation of warning to all guild members: The Shadow council itself decrees that all chapters should be on their guard against the upstart assassins' guild usurping our membership. The lure of coin is naught but bait, and it is suspected that the end of those that have defected has been most bloody. No guild can rival the Shadow Thieves, so any that claim as such must have darker motives. You have been warned of the cost of treachery. |
| 41363 The Shadow Thieves weaken day by day and cannot even protect their own members from the night they claim to know so well. What do your guild dues pay for, besides the opulence of the Shadow Council? Join with us and receive what you know you are worth. We meet when the night is half past. You know the place. |
| 41364 Then you are to renounce your guild and join with us, or you will die! Is that... wait... I know you. You are <CHARNAME>, and you serve the mistress. |
| 41365 You will die for your association! We would recruit you, but our last have not been shipped yet. Let havoc serve as well as defecting members. Die and feed us! |
| 41366 Then flee this place. Our hunt continues, and if we do not find what we wish, we may take it out upon those that stand by. Wait, I know you. |
| 41367 Then run, and do not turn back. If we do not find the prey we seek, we may have to turn upon those standing by. |
| 41368 Well... gold isn't really the reason that we're complaining... |
| 41369 But it will serve as an excellent reason not to. Come, Ketrick... remember your days as a starving actor and be thankful. |
| 41370 So. That's how it is to be, then. |
| 41371 I see. |
| 41372 Well... we can't walk out. We need the coin, and the traveling troupes have already moved on... |
| 41373 You are wise to keep your link to her secret, but now is not the time. We would have had to kill you for certain. Go. We will continue our hunt elsewhere. |
| 41374 Well, this is the script we're using, and that's final. I don't want to hear any complaints about it, so off you go. |
| 41375 This? This script you have written, patron, is hardly better! |
| 41376 This isn't what I wanted! I wanted more... more... |
| 41377 I suppose this script will do. It has... just about... everything I wanted in it. |
| 41378 And finally something we can actually learn! I can't believe we're making changes to the Turmish play, though... |
| 41379 This... this script is wonderful, patron! |
| 41380 I agree. If anything, you have made the Turmish play better than it was. Congratulations, patron. You have done the impossible. |
| 41381 Lies. We have observed all that come and go from the guild of shadow. The question was to allow you honor in death. It is wasted, I see. |
| 41382 Certainly not, but such tactics serve to spook even the most stalwart Shadow Thief. The hunt has been good tonight. Go, and see the mistress's will be done. |
| 41383 This is one of three flail heads belonging to Lord de'Arnise. Not all three heads are required to assemble the flail. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 41384 This yellowed sheet of parchment describes the process used by the ancient dwarven smith Silverblade to forge the original Hammer of Thunderbolts, as well as the means by which he intended to continue to shape the weapon into its ultimate form. By the combining of the Hammer of Thunderbolts, gauntlets of ogre power, and a girdle of frost giant strength... and using the power of the hammer's true name "Crom Faeyr"... an ultimate weapon of destruction could still be completed using this scroll. |

| 41390 At them, lads! We'll not let these worthless scags take away our night! |
| 41391 There! More of that damnable Bodhi's goons! The fight is falling out of our favor! Fall back, fall back to the guild and we will prepare for another day! |
| 41392 Stand ye well back from the battle, fool. You are not involved in this! |
| 41393 You! I recognize you as one of our own! Aid me and my Shadow Thief brethren! Take these foul creatures down! |
| 41394 You damnable fool! I would rid these creatures from our streets for the safety of us all! You've tipped the balance, so deal with the monsters yourselves! Retreat! |
| 41395 One less cadre of nightcrawlers to pester our membership. Hell, if this is the best they can do, we Shadow Thieves will not have a competing guild for long. |
| 41396 Back to the guild to bandage and prepare for another day. We'll hunt again when moon is bright. |
| 41397 Yes, retreat like the cowardly fools you are! Your guild is doomed to wither and die! |
| 41398 Do you see, <CHARNAME>? Do you see the cowardice? Whatever the mistress is planning cannot help but succeed. The Shadow Thieves are weak. The hunt continues! |
| 41399 Look on, bystander, and see who is the stronger here today. Remember this should you ever be in a position to choose your path. Onward to the hunt! |
| 41400 You are alone to face us now! Fight, and know you die for our cause, not yours! |
| 41401 There's no need for such formality. What exactly have you been studying? |
| 41402 Just stay out of my way. You do that, and you'll have it easy. |
| 41403 Ahh, the eagerness of youth. I shall give of my wisdom, and you shall flourish. |
| 41404 Very well. May I ask if there is anything in particular you would want us concentrating on? |
| 41405 Ah, you are here! You... would not believe what has been occurring. We are finally making progress in rehearsals, and now... other things are happening... |
| 41406 We've had props inexplicably fall from tables! A cistern broke and ruined an entire backdrop! Jenna slipped yesterday and almost broke her foot! |
| 41407 There's been other strange things, too... noises during the night, creakings and moanings. One of the stage gnomes almost died falling out of the rafters! |
| 41408 All the actors are frightened; they believe the curse is assailing us, and I... am beginning to believe it too. Oh, what a fool I was to disregard it! |
| 41409 These are all coincidences, Higgold. Mishaps happen in every theater production. |
| 41410 This sounds quite ominous... what do you want me to do? |
| 41411 You aren't just trying to get more money out of me, are you? |
| 41412 I know that, <CHARNAME>, and I was willing to chalk up most of these as accidents... but so many? Every day, something else happens to frighten us. |
| 41413 Even if it is coincidence, the actors don't think so. They are so jittery and nervous they are forgetting lines. Marcus is frightened almost to leaving... |
| 41414 The... the props and such we mostly recovered or replaced. But Zaren came across someone who has offered to help, and I don't think I can turn down the offer... |
| 41415 The only problem is, er, the expense. But perhaps you should meet her first before I say anything more... |
| 41416 Well... you are the <PRO_LADYLORD> patron of the playhouse... I need you to... No, no. I can't say it just like that. You must think I am insane, <CHARNAME>... |
| 41417 Err... not quite, my <PRO_LADYLORD> patron, but, in a way, yes. Oh, I should not say it just like that... I do have an explanation! You must think me insane. |
| 41418 All an' well hails to ye. May de Bright Lady shine upon our meeting today. |
| 41419 Err... <CHARNAME>, this is Shvanana, a... Turmish priestess from Alaghon, here on pilgrimage. Shvanana, this is <CHARNAME>, patron of the playhouse. |
| 41420 You be dealin' with bad magic, I see. Bad magic come callin' upon this place... you be crossin' de oldest one, aye? Like de other fools, putting on mummeries to cross 'im? |
| 41421 Yes, well. Er... Shvanana says that she can dispel the curse... or at least protect us from it, while we put the play on. For a price, which |
| 41422 Shvanana can stave off de oldest one's anger for a while, to save you mummers, but dusts is costly, an' so is Shvanana's time. 1,000 golders, an' I do it. |
| 41423 I know it seems like a... large amount, <CHARNAME>, but the cast is incredibly excited about it! They... we would all be relieved if Shvanana would do this... |
| 41424 Shvanana's time, it be limited as well as valuable... you be making up your minds now, yes? |
| 41425 Very well... I'll pay you the 1,000 gold if you'll do this. |
| 41426 I'll pay you 500 gold, Shvanana... no more. |
| 41427 I'll pay you 500 gold, Shvanana... no more. |
| 41428 I have a companion in my party who is a cleric as well. They can rid the play of this curse just as easily as you can. |
| 41429 I'll not deal with a charlatan... this curse is only in your mind, Higgold. Send the priestess away and tell the actors to ignore their fears and get on with the show! |
| 41430 Then I will be doing it, an' you mummers will be protected. Shvanana must go now and collect de dusts that be needed. Shvanana will return soon, and you will see. |
| 41431 Oh, thank you, <CHARNAME>! Thank you so much! We... the actors will be substantially relieved! Maybe now we can all get back to work! |
| 41432 You! I sense the stench of Talos upon you! I warn you, I am here to purge this place of the evil that has been claiming innocents, and if you are involved, I will see you dead! |
| 41433 I seek the same as you, old man, so if you stay out of my way, we should get along fine. |
| 41434 I do not take kindly to threats! Withdraw your words before I feed them to you! |
| 41435 Can we not work together on this? I have been sent by the church to investigate. |
| 41436 Does ye be seein' a merchant here before ye, patron-of-mummers? Shvanana is not one to bargain. I says that this is what the rituals cost, and this is what they cost. |
| 41437 Then I suppose I will have to pay you the 1,000 gold. |
| 41438 If you are as you say, then I wish you well, though I will not have you at my back. Go, and search where you must. I shall take another route away from you. |
| 41439 Well, I don't need you, really. I have a companion who is a cleric, and who can dispel the curse as easily as you. |
| 41440 I will do no such thing. I sense the taint in you. If you wish to make an issue of it, then we shall come to blows. Move carefully here. I have seen no crime, so we may yet pass peacefully. |
| 41441 I doubt I should want any part of your church. No, if you must be here, then go your own way. I shall take a different route where you are not at my back. Farewell. |
| 41442 Then go on your way. I will find what I seek without your meddling, paladin. |
| 41443 I will not have you wandering behind me waiting to pounce. Raise your weapon! |
| 41444 I'll not deal with a charlatan, then... this curse is only in your mind, Higgold. Send the priestess away and tell the actors to ignore their fears and get on with the show! |
| 41445 As you would have it. I will not mourn the loss of your taint, even though there are greater battles to be fought. |
| 41446 Hmm-mmmh. All right, then. Shvanana will be doing as you ask, but only because Shvanana thinks you have great need. Ye mummers should not cross de oldest one if ye does not be needin' to. |
| 41447 Shvanana must be going now, to collect de dusts and prepare. But Shvanana will be comin' back soon, not to be worryin'. |
| 41448 They can be tryin', if it be makin' ye feel better. But I am sure they not be Turmish, aye? And they be knowin' nothing of the oldest one? Well, then. They can certainly be tryin'. |
| 41449 Fine, I get your point. Here is 1,000 gold, then. |
| 41450 I'll offer you 500 gold to do this, then... no more. |
| 41451 I'll offer you 500 gold to do this, then... no more. |
| 41452 And they will try... and I trust them a lot more than I do a priestess from some strange Turmish cult. Off you go. |
| 41453 I'll not deal with a charlatan... this curse is only in your mind, Higgold. Send the priestess away and tell the actors to ignore their fears and get on with the show! |
| 41454 As ye wish. Shvanana did not be comin' here on her own. Shvanana was asked, she was. And she can just as easily be leavin'. |
| 41455 N-no, Shvanana, wait! No, please! We... we can work something out! |
| 41456 I do not be thinkin' so, boyee. Yer patron-of-mummers has said <PRO_HISHER> word, an' so it be. Shvanana does be wishin' you well. |
| 41457 Ooh... why did you do that, <CHARNAME>? I... I will do as you say and speak to the cast, but none of us will feel safe until this play is over and done with! |
| 41458 If that be your wish. Your cleric can be tryin' to match th' power of de oldest one, Shvanana is sure. Shvanana was asked to come; she did not be comin' here on her own. |
| 41459 I suppose the actors will feel better knowing that a proper cleric has, er, blessed the playhouse. I will tell them, and we will get back to the rehearsals... |
| 41460 I'll... I'll try to remove whatever curse is here, but I don't really feel anything. I don't think there's real magic involved. But... some prayer wouldn't hurt, I suppose... |
| 41461 Hmph. I feel little here in the way of an actual curse. No doubt it exists only in their heads. But I will pray to Helm for their benefit, if it will ease their frail minds. |
| 41462 Shar will not dispel the despair of these actors. There is no curse here, no magic. But I would be pleased to go through the motions for you if it eases the cries of these frail rivvin. |
| 41463 I cannot afford to pay this priestess, Higgold. Best you send her on her way and tell the actors that they must face their fears as best they can. |
| 41464 I cannot afford to pay this priestess, Higgold. Best you send her on her way and tell the actors that they must face their fears as best they can. |
| 41465 *sigh* You be lookin' like a good sort. Perhaps Shvanana will make an exception this one time. Shvanana will go now and collect de dusts she be needin'... but she be back soon. |
| 41466 You will not steal my vengeance! |
| 41467 <CHARNAME>, it's a trap! Use the mirror... to the left of the crystal there... to gather what light is left and avenge my pack! |
| 41468 <CHARNAME>, we have a disaster on our hands! I... I don't know if it's a curse or just bad luck! Ohh, barely more than a week to opening and THIS happens! |
| 41469 Thank Milil! The <PRO_LADYLORD> patron is here! Maybe <PRO_HESHE> can sort this whole mess out now. |
| 41470 The... the musician we hired to perform the score... he has disappeared! I heard rumors of him having debt problems, but regardless, he is gone! |
| 41471 And it gets worse! Not only is it too late to replace him, but he vanished with the original score! I... I have no copy and don't know where to get one! |
| 41472 No music! And no score to follow even if we did have music! Oooh, this is a disaster! A disaster! |
| 41473 But Higgold, I told you that I do know of someone who is here in Athkatla who could replace your musician! In fact, I've already talked to him! |
| 41474 No, I told you that we can't ask the <PRO_LADYLORD> patron to spend more! We can't, especially when the play is... is going nowhere! |
| 41475 Don't... don't be so hard on yourself, Higgold... |
| 41476 Well, I will tell <PRO_HIMHER> myself, then. Patron! I know a rather famous harpist from Scornubel who happens to be in Athkatla currently. |
| 41477 His name is Balmitance... and he's available if you wish to hire him. Better yet, he already knows the score to the Turmish play from memory. |
| 41478 The only drawback... well, I did say he was famous. And he is a wonder to beholdâ€â€he would add such beauty to the play! But... he asks 500 gold to do the task... |
| 41479 No, no... ignore that, <CHARNAME>, it is too much to ask, too |
| 41480 I... I can play the harp. I have taken many lessons... |
| 41481 Don't... er... what did you say, Marcus? |
| 41482 I can play the harp. Really well, in fact. |
| 41483 That's great... but it doesn't solve our problem about not having the score, however. |
| 41484 Well... I don't know the score much. But I know it a little. I... I suppose I could try to write a new score. It wouldn't be so bad... |
| 41485 That's... an option and wonderful news, but... <CHARNAME>, you are skilled in bardic arts! Perhaps you could write the score... from memory? What do you think? |
| 41486 I say let us hire this Balmitance fellow... Not only does he know the score, he is a fine musician, yes? |
| 41487 I don't know if I trust my memory... If Marcus is willing to play, let him write the score. |
| 41488 If Marcus is willing to play, I am happy to test my intellect and rewrite the score. |
| 41489 If Marcus is willing to play, I am happy to test my intellect and rewrite the score. |
| 41490 If Marcus is willing to play, I am happy to test my intellect and rewrite the score. |
| 41491 If Marcus is willing to play, I am happy to test my intellect and rewrite the score. |
| 41492 If Marcus is willing to play, I am happy to test my intellect and rewrite the score. |
| 41493 My daughter? You mean young Nalia? She is my niece. Her mother passed when Nalia was but two seasons. Caught some pestilence from those peasants she so loved to coddle. |
| 41494 Oh well, those that beg cannot afford to be choosy. At least, that is the phrase as I have heard it. Shall we get to the business of a rescue? I assume that is what you are here for. |
| 41495 One Level Drained |
| 41496 I fear your attempt at eloquence masks a simple mind. No doubt you refer to Nalia, my niece. She might seek your company... that is my constant fear. |
| 41497 Such manners only serve to illustrate what I already knew by the smell of you. You are filthy peasantry, come to ingratiate yourselves by rescuing your betters. |
| 41498 You would hire the harpist Balmitance? That is wonderful news! You are almost too gracious, <CHARNAME>... Balmitance will have the audience enthralled! |
| 41499 Please keep quiet?! Such insolence could only come from a lout of the lower classes. Who let you in here? A silly question on my part, I suppose. |
| 41500 That's most excellent. And this means it all doesn't fall on you, eh, Marcus? |
| 41501 ...I suppose... |
| 41502 You... you would allow me, <PRO_LADYLORD> patron? Oh joy! I will do my absolute best, I promise! |
| 41503 Well... at least the problem has been solved. We'll have to see exactly what Marcus comes up with, though. Off you two go, then. Crisis over. |
| 41504 It is their lot to serve, and it is my lot to be served by them. Those that did not strive to protect this place will be docked wages for their laziness. |
| 41505 Excellent! Excellent! Marcus, get your harp! Zaren, get <CHARNAME> some proper parchment! Oh, this is almost too much to hope for! |
| 41506 Excellent! Excellent! Marcus, get your harp! Zaren, get <CHARNAME> some proper parchment! Oh, this is almost too much to hope for! |
| 41507 Excellent! Excellent! Marcus, get your harp! Zaren, get <CHARNAME> some proper parchment! Oh, this is almost too much to hope for! |
| 41508 ...well... this is not unlike the original score, I suppose... |
| 41509 It's as good as anything I could come up with, for sure... |
| 41510 And we're using it! Take the pages, Marcus, and don't lose them or your life is forfeit! *sigh* Thank you, <CHARNAME>... you are a lifesaver, truly. |
| 41511 Your role is to rescue such as me and to be thankful for the opportunity. Or do you intend to save only those that fit your ideal? I was not aware that heroes were allowed to be so choosy. |
| 41512 And if you would, Lord de'Arnise is still at the mercy of the beasts below. He is Nalia's father, and I believe they are trying to get him to reveal something about a cache of gold. |
| 41513 I'll tell you the same as your leader: You'll get no more from me than condemnation. Marching into a home as though you belong... what is the world coming to? |
| 41514 Do try to keep the dignity of your station above such things, will you? Ahh, my words are for naught, or you would not be here at all. What dregs have you brought to our home this time? |
| 41515 Very well. Let us cross. |
| 41516 If only that were possible, good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I would accept the release from my long duty gratefully. |
| 41517 No. First, tell me what you know. If the information is sound, I will then take you across. |
| 41518 But it is not possible. We were servants to the beloved Amuana, her guardians and protectors... and we failed our task. Until our lady is at peace, we cannot and will not leave her. |
| 41519 I was a minion of the Shade Lord. You seek to destroy him, do you not? I can help you do it if you only free me from this place. |
| 41520 You must aid our lady! Our lady whom we have failed so horribly... and for whom we have waited here for so long for one to aid us... |
| 41521 Of course they did, and that is their duty. Am I to extend extra gratitude for a task that should be relished? It is their lot to serve, and it is my lot to remain above them and be served. |
| 41522 Those that do not extend such a service should be docked wages for their laziness. Thank your stars that you are not in a position of power over such creatures. They are simply impossible to manage. |
| 41523 You must put our beloved Amuana at rest! She is defiled by the Dark, and we can do nothing but watch in our horror. Only once Amuana is at rest will we go on! |
| 41524 Very well. I shall help you. |
| 41525 I think not. |
| 41526 We... we have waited so long for one who can possibly aid us! I beg it of you! You must assist our sweet Amuana! You must help her where we failed! |
| 41527 We are shamed by what we cannot do! Please... we will not leave this plane until our prophetess is at rest! She is defiled! Defiled! |
| 41528 Of course you measure worth that way; you have no choice. Realize, however, that your scale is within the larger truth: Some are born to rule, others to follow. |
| 41529 Let us go. |
| 41530 I would never help a shadow. |
| 41531 Uh... freedom from his domination... thank y... (The ranger's words trail off. She is dead.) |
| 41532 Who is this Amuana and why is she not at peace? |
| 41533 Why should I help you? |
| 41534 I have no time to offer you aid, spirits. |
| 41535 Who is this Amuana and why is she not at peace? |
| 41536 Why should I help you? |
| 41537 I have no time to offer you aid, spirits. |
| 41538 Who is this Amuana and why is she not at peace? |
| 41539 Why should I help you? |
| 41540 I have no time to offer you aid, spirits. |
| 41541 Enough chatter. I shall wait in a safer place. Coming, Nalia? No, I don't suppose you are. We will discuss this at a later time. Do as your... "friends" wish for now, but try to keep clean. |
| 41542 Amuana was the young prophetess of our people, Child of Light and servant to our lord Amaunator... |
| 41543 Once, long ago, this was a place of darkness and vile creatures that spilled into this world from the blackness. Amaunator invaded this place, brought his light to it and drove away the shadows! |
| 41544 The Yellow God set up temples here... and wards to keep the darkness forever at bay. Once, there were priests who shouted his names to the heavens and kept the wards strong! |
| 41545 But our Amaunator has lost his power over the ages. The Keeper of the Sun is no longer worshipped as he once was... and the wards began to weaken. |
| 41546 Amuana was born to our people a child prophetess... the Child of Light who would fight against the darkness that was once more beginning to spill into these lands. |
| 41547 But it was too late... too late. |
| 41548 The wards were destroyed, and the shadows crept over the temples and murdered us all. A Shade Lord now rules here, and even a vile shadow dragon stalks these halls. |
| 41549 Amuana was overwhelmed by the Shade Lord. We could... could not protect her as he took her body and... threw her bones to his dark wolves... |
| 41550 They gnaw on her remains, good <PRO_MANWOMAN>... the shade wolves defile her with their teeth and saliva. We... we failed our task. |
| 41551 Please, I beg of you... retrieve Amuana's bones from the wolves... save her from the contempt of the Shade Lord! Bring the bones to us so that at last she may be at peace! |
| 41552 Very well. I will retrieve the bones of your Amuana if I can. |
| 41553 Why should I do this for you? |
| 41554 I have no time for such a task. |
| 41555 We have nothing to offer you. No gold or silver, nothing that the living would desire... we possess nothing but our lost duty... |
| 41556 But our beloved Amuana may be able to assist you. We know that the shadows once again rule here... the magic of the Child of Light may yet help you from beyond the veil. |
| 41557 But this we do not know... we simply beg you to assist our charge in the name of the Keeper! |
| 41558 Very well. Tell me of this Amuana, then. |
| 41559 I have no time to help you, spirits. |
| 41560 But our Child of Light may possess the power to aid you against the darkness! And we cannot call her without her bones! |
| 41561 You will have to pass the dread guardian, the shadow dragon... and without the aid of Amuana, how will you do this? Please, we beg you! Help us! Help Amuana! |
| 41562 Very well. Tell me of this Amuana, then, and how I can help. |
| 41563 I said I had no time, and I meant it. Begone! |
| 41564 We are most grateful for your kindness! Go, then, and help our poor Amuana! |
| 41565 Her bones yet remain in the lair of the shade wolves... find them and bring them to us, we implore you! |
| 41566 We have nothing to offer you. No gold or silver, nothing that the living would desire... we possess nothing but our lost duty... |
| 41567 But the Child of Light may help you yet from beyond the veil. Alas, we cannot call her without her bones to guide us. Please... we beg of you to aid our poor Amuana! |
| 41568 Very well... I will retrieve her bones if I can. |
| 41569 I have no time to do this for you. |
| 41570 No, no... it cannot be! You will not aid us? |
| 41571 All we ask is that you bring the bones, the remains, of our poor lost charge to us. That is all we ask! We have waited so long for someone... anyone... |
| 41572 You do not have our beloved Amuana's remains? |
| 41573 Please... find them! Bring them to us from the wolves' lair so that we may end our duty at long, long last! |
| 41574 You come to us once more! Does... does this mean that you have changed your mind, good <MANWOMAN>? Will you aid our poor Amuana? |
| 41575 Perhaps. Tell me of this Amuana and how I may assist. |
| 41576 Yes, I will help you if I can. |
| 41577 No, I do not have the time to assist you. |
| 41578 Ahhh! Amaunator's blessing! You have the bones of Amuana with you, the remains of our beloved Child of Light! |
| 41579 Her defilement at the hands of the Shade Lord is now ended! Our duty is at an end. Please... Amuana... forgive us! Forgive our lapse and let us cross over at last! |
| 41580 Wh-what is this? Visitors! Visitors at long last! |
| 41581 You have returned... yet, alas, I do not sense her bones with you... |
| 41582 Ah, <MANWOMAN> of the sun lands, you have returned! |
| 41583 You have returned to us... and I sense the remains of our Child of Light are with you! Salvation at last, at long last! |
| 41584 He was trying to get the parts for his flail. He kept it in pieces and would never say why he left it like that. Wasn't my place to ask, really. |
| 41585 But I have some power. I have power enough to elude the attention of their guardians, if necessary, and I can give this to you. A wardstone... carry it and the dreaded shadow dragon will not notice your passing. |
| 41586 Do not attack the beast or otherwise draw its attention, and you shall be safe. Safe enough, at least, to stand against that foul Shade Lord that has spread his hand over my once-glorious temple. |
| 41587 Ah, a most wondrous job, patron! You have recovered the score almost exactly! |
| 41588 I... I wish I could do something like that! It's better than anything I could have done... in a million years, even! |
| 41589 P-patron? You... you are a genius! This is wondrous music... I would daresay it is even better than the original score... |
| 41590 And I will get to play it! Thank you, patron... I surely wish I were a bard and I could write such a work of art... |
| 41591 Ah! <CHARNAME>! This is unbelievable! There are... a group of Turmish fanatics in the playhouse! They have taken it over! |
| 41592 They charged in and scared the cast to death yelling nonsense about not permitting the play! They said they would sooner burn the playhouse than allow the show! |
| 41593 And the dress rehearsal is supposed to be tomorrow! Gah! <CHARNAME>, you've got to do something! Stop them, please! |
| 41594 You! You are the one behind this disgrace to the eldest?! It is not permitted! Death will come to all who allow such lies to seek the ears of others! |
| 41595 We who are exalted shall stop you with our blood, if need be! |
| 41596 Most excellent, <CHARNAME>, I knew you would get rid of those... those barbarian pests! *sigh* It will take at least a day to clean up, though. |
| 41597 We will still have dress rehearsal tomorrow. We will need you, as our patron, to see the trial before we open, so come anytime tomorrow and we will be ready. |
| 41598 Hoy! You'd be the one I's watchin' for, aye? Uncle Gaelan told me to give you a bit o' help to find some work. Listen up, eh! |
| 41599 Okay, then... make sure to stay close, 'cause I don't have time to wait for ya. |
| 41600 My companions and I were hired by Minister Lloyd of Imnesvale to find the ranger Merella as well as look into the rash of killings that has plagued the area. |
| 41601 We found Merella's journal, which mentioned the unholy darkening of this land. The local legends tell of how the Shade Lord was struck down by Amaunator ages ago. |
| 41602 We entered the temple ruins and found it infested with shadow magic. The shade wolves here are from the wolf packs that roamed these hills mere weeks ago. |
| 41603 Through tomes and other clues, my party learned of a perverted altar of Amaunator which can only be reached through the bowels of this place. |
| 41604 The Shade Lord commands a shadow dragon... a most deadly foe. We were struck down as he laughed, and I am unsure of how to defeat such a creature. |
| 41605 Most horrible of all, the Shade Lord took the life force of my friends and turned them to members of his cursed army. My beloved Patrick has become a hideous shadow! |
| 41606 Here ye be. I'm sure ye can find the rest of yer way from here, aye? Off ye go. |
| 41607 I would gladly have sold my life with my friends, but the Shade Lord would not let the dragon kill me. He wants me to be what he calls "his consort." |
| 41608 He is not a creature of this plane and must possess a body, feeding on its life. He inhabits Merella now... and planned to use my own body once Merella grows weak, I suspect. |
| 41609 I have come to believe that this altar, which the shadow dragon guards, is the secret of this place. A way must be found to pass this beast, for he cannot be killed by such as us. |
| 41610 Ah! It is the <PRO_LADYLORD> patron! Come, everyone, places! Time for the dress rehearsal! |
| 41611 We open our play in the land of Turmish, in the highest peaks of the Aphrunn, the nearest town away by weeks... |
| 41612 A dark and neglected castle sits amidst the blowing drifts of snow... a silent sentinel that watches the path of histories far below... |
| 41613 And in this castle, my master lives. A sorcerer of the kind that time forgives, vaults of ancient knowledge in his thoughts... but his aged heart twists and rots. |
| 41614 My master taught me much of magic and spell, but I learned much more when winter fell... |
| 41615 For with the snow came a woman lost... Karenina she was, a naive lamb, but 'twas she and my master both that paid the cost... |
| 41616 Five Levels Drained |
| 41617 The typical throwing dagger has a pointed, usually double-edged blade, as opposed to a knife, which has a single edge and is a bit shorter than the dagger. Unlike a dagger, this one has a smaller handle and is balanced perfectly. A thin coating of poison has been applied to each poisoned throwing dagger, making it a lethal tool in the hands of trained assassins. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – Hit target must save vs. Death at -1 or suffer 2 points of poison damage per second for 10 seconds Damage: 1d4 (missile) Speed Factor: 2 Proficiency Type: Dagger Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 0 |
| 41618 You shall not die here this day, woman of the lands below. I have seen you wander through the wind and through the snow. And, though I wished it not, you made your way here... |
| 41619 I shall call my servant to tend to you, quickly. But then you must go, I would fear. |
| 41620 This two-headed flail causes acid and cold damage. If the other head for the Flail of Ages could be found, it would make this weapon more powerful. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d6+3, +1 acid damage, +1 cold damage Damage type: Crushing Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Flail/Morning Star Type: One-handed Requires: 13 Strength Weight: 10 |
| 41621 This two-headed flail causes fire and acid damage. If the other head for the Flail of Ages could be found, it would make this weapon more powerful. STATISTICS: Damage: 1d6+3, +1 fire damage, +1 acid damage Damage type: Crushing Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Flail/Morning Star Type: One-handed Requires: 13 Strength Weight: 10 |
| 41622 Ask no more questions, woman, but come inside from the cold. The keep is warm enough for now, and the boy will come as he was told. |
| 41623 The polished glass of this ruined window catches some of the weak light that the darkened gem puts forth. You could arrange the pane in such a manner that it would reflect all of the light if you so wish. |
| 41624 When you turn the pane of polished glass, it reflects the light from the gem and the area brightens. |
| 41625 I... am the wizard Velden. Does this frighten you? |
| 41626 There is no other use for this glass. |
| 41627 This gem burns with an inner light that is faint but noticeable. It seems that this too has been affected by the darkness that infects this land. |
| 41628 What... what transpires here? A ruin, a castle... is it abandoned and empty? Is there no one to tell me where I am? Oh, I shall die here alone... |
| 41629 Wait, good sir! What do you mean? Why must I leave? |
| 41630 But... have you no name, good sir? Is my savior a blank enchantment in this place? |
| 41631 No, for I know the name not, Your Grace. But I... I am Karenina. |
| 41632 Why do you turn me away, good Velden? Why are you so cold? |
| 41633 You do not understand, my dear. I have watched centuries... ages... unfold. You are but a passing flame, soon extinguished... and one day, just a name. |
| 41634 I cannot embrace you as you wish, Karenina; this cannot be. |
| 41635 But why? I do not see! Will you live your years in this empty hall, barren and friendless? Is that your life? Is that all? |
| 41636 Take your passion while you may, good Velden! Accept my love and warm your hearth this once! |
| 41637 To accept... would be a pain for me I cannot speak. Do not do this, good Karenina; I beg you, fly away... |
| 41638 No, my love! Be touched by pain and be alive! Accept this... kiss... Forget your endless years and thrive... |
| 41639 I do not understand, my master... why do you cry so? What have you done to Karenina? |
| 41640 The kindest and cruelest act that I could summon, good pupil. The lass is gone. Now go. |
| 41641 Gone? She is dead, then? |
| 41642 Karenina wished to join me in my never-ending life, good Whitten. But even I could not wish upon another such a fate. But, truer still, I could not bear to part with her... my wife. |
| 41643 You... you are married, my master?! |
| 41644 Aye. Married now and forevermore. Karenina will stand forever for me to look upon... and she will not suffer the long years or the pain that would make her weep... |
| 41645 For Karenina is now eternal stone... and in that blessed stone, forever shall she sleep... |
| 41646 Now go, my pupil... leave me with my bride. I shall touch her cold and unrelenting cheek once more... tonight a part of me has died inside. |
| 41647 Death by pieces, small and many though they are... |
| 41648 What crueler a fate... could await an eternal star? |
| 41649 Well now! Was that not something, then? I think it should be a marvelous show, with the audience all about! |
| 41650 Well, well... not too bad, really. A few bumps, but hopefully we can iron them out before the play goes on. |
| 41651 Hmph. Not... not the best play I've ever seen. I tried my best, <CHARNAME>. *sigh* Well... we'll see how she plays in front of an audience, at least. |
| 41652 We have barely over a week before the show opens. Announcements are sent, and street urchin criers are shouting the fact that the Turmish play is set to begin. |
| 41653 I can't wait! This is... this is so exciting! |
| 41654 I just wish I had more time to practice my lines. This isn't exactly what I was expecting... |
| 41655 Grow up, Ketrick! This is the theater... it never goes quite how you'd expect it to, and you can NEVER prepare enough. |
| 41656 If there be a truth said, then Zaren has said it! On that note, I want all of you practicing your lines... our opening night must be our best performance! |
| 41657 As for you, my <PRO_LADYLORD> patron, I will send Meck to tell you when opening night will occur. It should be no more than a week... perhaps a bit more. |
| 41658 If you would like to come to the opening performance, I'm sure all of us would like to see you there. At any rate, there is much to do, so I will speak to you then... |
| 41659 Patron! <PRO_LADYLORD> patron! Master Higgold says that you are to come right away t' see him. Some bloody important business or other, I'm sure. |
| 41660 Ho, patron! Master Higgold says to come right away! He's got some bloody problem with one of thar actors or some such. Har! He's so red in th' face I kin hardly stand it! |
| 41661 Patron! Master Higgold says he needs you again! Says t' come quick. |
| 41662 My <PRO_LADYLORD> patron! There's... there's strange things goin' on in the playhouse! Oy'm bloody scared t' sleep there now... Master Higgold says come quick! |
| 41663 Patron! Master Higgold says he needs t' speak wi' you. Some problem or other with th' bloody music. Just gets yourself a lute's wot I says... |
| 41664 Patron! Patron! There's... there's barbarians or somethin'! Taken over the playhouse, they have! You've... you've got to come quick! Master Higgold is in a tiz! |
| 41665 There you are, my <PRO_LADYLORD> patron. Hmph. Master Higgold says th' bloody rehearsal for dresses or somethin' is ready. He an' the crew are waitin' for ye now. |
| 41666 Ahhhh! Patron, patron! *pant* I found you! *pant* Master Higgold... he says... come quick! Quick! It's... *pant*... some opening night emergency! *pant* |
| 41667 Ooooh... my <PRO_LADYLORD> patron... <CHARNAME>... We have a real problem. A very large problem. A gigantic problem! |
| 41668 One of... one of the council members is here... or, at least, I believe he is one! On opening night! This... this could make or break the playhouse! |
| 41669 And Zaren... Zaren is ill! Deathly ill! He cannot even move from his bed! |
| 41670 <CHARNAME>, we have no Velden! |
| 41671 I... I see only one chance, <CHARNAME>... you must play Velden. You are a bard, naturally gifted... and you are the only one who looks the part! |
| 41672 Please, <CHARNAME>, I'm begging you! This could be the biggest chance for all of us! And... and we mustn't upset the council member! PLEASE, you must do it! |
| 41673 Very well. I will do my best, Higgold. |
| 41674 No! Never! I barely know the part! We will either have to get someone else to play Velden or cancel the opening night. |
| 41675 Oh, thank Milil! Quickly, now! They are almost ready to begin! |
| 41676 No, you can't! Marcus... Marcus could never do it! And who would be Whitten?! Ketrick has too many other parts! We CAN'T cancel with a council member here! |
| 41677 Fine. I will do my best, then. |
| 41678 Forget it, then. We will have to cancel opening night. |
| 41679 I... I... very well, <CHARNAME>. It is your playhouse, after all. |
| 41680 We open our play in the land of Turmish, in the highest peaks of the Aphrunn, the nearest town away by weeks... |
| 41681 A dark and neglected castle sits amidst the blowing drifts of snow... a silent sentinel that watches the path of histories far below... |
| 41682 And in this castle, my master lives. A sorcerer of the kind that time forgives, vaults of ancient knowledge in his thoughts... but his aged heart twists and rots. |
| 41683 My master taught me much of magic and spell, but I learned much more when winter fell... |
| 41684 For with the snow came a woman lost... Karenina she was, a naive lamb, but 'twas she and my master both that paid the cost... |
| 41685 What... what transpires here? A ruin, a castle... is it abandoned and empty? |
| 41686 Is there no one who might tell me where I am, in this desert of ice and snow? Oh, I shall die here alone... |
| 41687 You shall not die today, woman of the lands below. I shall call my servant to tend to you, but then you must be quickly gone, I fear. |
| 41688 You shall not die here this day, woman of the lands below. I shall call my servant to tend to you, quickly. But then you must go, I fear. |
| 41689 Wait, good sir! What do you mean? Why must I leave? |
| 41690 Er... wait! Wait, good sir! What do you mean? Why must I leave? |
| 41691 Ask no more questions, woman, but come inside from the cold. The keep is warm enough for now, and the boy will come as he was told. |
| 41692 Ask no more questions, woman, just do as you're told. The keep is warm enough for now, and only fools stay out in the cold. |
| 41693 Ask no more questions, woman, but come inside from the cold. The keep is warm enough for now, and the boy will come as he was told. |
| 41694 Ask no more questions, woman, just do as you're told. The keep is warm enough for now, and only fools stay out in the cold. |
| 41695 But... have you no name, good sir? Is my savior a blank enchantment in this place? |
| 41696 I... am the wizard Velden. Does this frighten you? |
| 41697 I... am the wizard known as Velden. Does this scare you? |
| 41698 No, for I know the name not, Your Grace. But I... I am Karenina. |
| 41699 Er... no, for I... know the name not, Your Grace. But I... I am Karenina. |
| 41700 Why do you turn me away, good Velden? Why are you so cold? |
| 41701 You do not understand... I have watched centuries... unfold. You are but a passing flame. I cannot embrace you as you wish, Karenina; this cannot be. |
| 41702 You do not understand... I have watched ages unfold. You are but a passing flame. I cannot love you as you ask... Karenina; this cannot be. |
| 41703 But why? I do not see! Will you live your years in this empty hall, barren and friendless? Is that your life? Is that all? |
| 41704 Take your passion while you may, good Velden! Accept my love and warm your hearth this once! |
| 41705 To accept... would be a pain for me I could not bear. Do not do this to me, good Karenina; I beg you, flee from here... |
| 41706 To accept... would be a pain for me I cannot speak. Do not do this, good Karenina; I beg you, fly away... |
| 41707 No, my lord! Be touched by pain and be alive! |
| 41708 Er... no, my lord! Be... touched by pain and be alive! |
| 41709 Accept this... kiss... forget your endless years and thrive... |
| 41710 I do not understand, my master... why do you cry so? What have you done to Karenina? |
| 41711 The kindest and cruelest act that I could summon, good pupil. The lass is gone. Now go. |
| 41712 The kindest and cruelest act that I could summon, good pupil. The lass has gone. |
| 41713 Gone? She is dead, then? |
| 41714 Karenina desired to join me in my eternal life, good Whitten. But I could not wish upon another such a fate. Truer still, I could not bear to part with... my wife. |
| 41715 Karenina wished to join me in my never-ending life, good Whitten. But even I could not wish upon another such a fate. But, truer still, I could not bear to part with her... my wife. |
| 41716 You... you are married, my master?! |
| 41717 I... ah, you... you are married, my master?! |
| 41718 Aye. Married now and forevermore. Karenina will stand forever for me to look upon... and she will not suffer the long years or the pain that would make her weep. For Karenina is now eternal stone... and in that blessed stone, forever shall she sleep... |
| 41719 Aye. Married now and forever. Karenina will exist forever for me to gaze upon... and she will not endure the long years or the pain that would make her weep. For Karenina is now stone... and in that kind stone, forever shall she sleep... |
| 41720 Aye. Married now and forevermore. Karenina will stand forever for me to look upon... and she will not suffer the long years or the pain that would make her weep. For Karenina is now eternal stone... and in that blessed stone, forever shall she sleep... |
| 41721 Aye. Married now and forever. Karenina will exist forever for me to gaze upon... and she will not endure the long years or the pain that would make her weep. For Karenina is now stone... and in that kind stone, forever shall she sleep... |
| 41722 You... you did that...? |
| 41723 Now go, my pupil... leave me to my stony bride. I shall caress her cold and hard cheek once more... for tonight a part of me has died inside. |
| 41724 Now go, my pupil... leave me with my bride. I shall touch her cold and unrelenting cheek once more... for tonight a part of me has died inside. |
| 41725 *cough* |
| 41726 Death by pieces, small and many though they are... What crueler a fate... could await an eternal star? |
| 41727 Death by inches, small and many though they are... What crueler a destiny... could await a heavenly star? |
| 41728 Yes, well, be that as it may, would you care to direct us in what we should be doing? Our lessons are already covered, but you decide the nature of our assignment. |
| 41729 Uhh, will there be a test on this? |
| 41730 Shhh, <PRO_HESHE>'s being thoughtful and prosaic. |
| 41731 Little useless trinket enchantment. |
| 41732 Oh hush! At least we are getting instruction. |
| 41733 Stop it! We have to start somewhere. <CHARNAME>, if you would direct us in what our next assignment should be, then we can begin. |
| 41734 Yeah, instruction on how to waste your talents. |
| 41735 Oh, all right. What has your course of study included so far? |
| 41736 No. Leave me be. I do not want this little duty, and I do not need you here. |
| 41737 Certainly, certainly. What have your studies included so far? |
| 41738 No, no, no, you should do this on your own. Best way to learn. |
| 41739 But we need guidance. We do not yet know the limits of these gifts of magic we have received. |
| 41740 Stow it, Nara. I say we try our hand at making wands of death! ZeeOWWW! That'll show 'em. |
| 41741 Is that before or after you fix the hole you burned in Teos's roof? |
| 41742 That was just a slip of the wrist, and you know it. |
| 41743 Exactly. We need direction so we don't slip even worse. |
| 41744 Settle down. <CHARNAME>? We really need your help here. I can pull some random lessons from the tomes, but I would prefer your guidance. |
| 41745 Very well. What is it that you are studying right now? |
| 41746 Nonsense. Go your own way and see what comes! Trust me, you'll do fine. |
| 41747 I want nothing to do with your "lessons." Use what you must, but don't bother me. |
| 41748 Yes! Now we can really cut loose! |
| 41749 This isn't going to go well at all. |
| 41750 Very well. I shall determine what would be best for our learning environment. |
| 41751 Big stuff, big stuff, big stuff! |
| 41752 Couldn't I work on my cantrips and minor spells? |
| 41753 Big stuff, big stuff, BIG STUFF! |
| 41754 Or maybe a little basic levitation? |
| 41755 BIG STUFF, BIG STUFF, BIG STUFF! |
| 41756 QUIET DOWN! *ahem* I'm sorry Nara, but I think Larz is right. |
| 41757 WOO HOO! |
| 41758 Yes, well, I think we should really stretch ourselves. We should do something that will really show what we can do. I think we should... I think we should... |
| 41759 What, what, what? |
| 41760 I think we should enchant a ring of wizardry. |
| 41761 Yes! Big stuff! |
| 41762 Yes, it is, so we should be really careful. Understand? Now get to work. We've read the theory and know the basics. Let's get to it. |
| 41763 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. We won't bother you again. |
| 41764 No need for you to worry. We won't bother you at all while here. I think the lesson is going well. |
| 41765 I don't like this at all. I can barely understand the runes in the tomes. Still, it is fun to know that we are on our own. Very exciting. |
| 41766 Ohhh, this is going to be sooo good! Now, if I could just figure out if I am holding the tome upside-down or not. Eh, what's the difference. I know your magic words. Klaatu, Barada, Ni*cough*do. That's close enough. |
| 41767 We have some choice in this, or rather, you do. You will be the owner of whatever we make. In minor enchantments, we have a couple of useful things. |
| 41768 There's a little something I like to call "the Wand of the Apprenti"! When used, it randomly shoots fire, ice, or lightning. Very nasty. Materials will cost 1,000 gold. |
| 41769 No, no, I suggest we make a dagger for our new teacher. We'll call it the "Dagger of <CHARNAME>." How about that? It would only cost about 250 gold for supplies. |
| 41770 Very good, though I would prefer something a little more practical still. A ring of protection is a standard test in this discipline. It is... a little risky though. What say you, <CHARNAME>? It would cost 2,000 gold. |
| 41771 I think you should make me the Wand of the Apprenti. I could use that. |
| 41772 The Dagger of <CHARNAME> sounds really nice. |
| 41773 You should try for the ring of protection. Very useful. |
| 41774 Yes! Consider it done! |
| 41775 It will take a while to do it properly. I think a few days will do it. Yes, that will suffice. In that time, you will have your item, <CHARNAME>. Wish us well. |
| 41776 M-mine? Well, I am flattered... that you would want to be flattered. I'll try to have it as soon as possible. |
| 41777 Very good. Like I said, there is some danger, so Larz will probably like it, but we're sure to have it for you in a reasonable amount of time. |
| 41778 It will take a while to do it properly. I think a few days will do it. Yes, that will suffice. In that time, you will have your item, <CHARNAME>. Wish us well. |
| 41779 It will take a while to do it properly. I think four or five days will do it. Yes, that will suffice. In that time you will have your item, <CHARNAME>. Wish us well. |
| 41780 It will take a while to do it properly. I think four days will do it. Yes, that will suffice. In that time, you will have your item, <CHARNAME>. Wish us well. |
| 41781 It will take a while to do it properly. I think four days will do it. Yes, that will suffice. In that time, you will have your item, <CHARNAME>. Wish us well. |
| 41782 It will take a while to do it properly. I think four days will do it. Yes, that will suffice. In that time, you will have your item, <CHARNAME>. Wish us well. |
| 41783 That wand will be ready soon enough. Frankly, if it were up to me, we would take longer on all weapons. |
| 41784 The dagger is coming nicely. I would have preferred the ring, but a dagger will teach just as well, I'm sure. |
| 41785 I've got the basics of the ring figured out, but it is still a dangerous bit of magic. I worry about that sometimes. |
| 41786 We'll have that nasty little wand ready as soon as possible. The dagger would have been nicer, though. |
| 41787 I've got the form of your dagger all worked out in my head already, <CHARNAME>. It's going to be beautiful. |
| 41788 One ring of protection, just as you asked. I still think the dagger would have been better though. |
| 41789 Yes, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, one Wand of the Apprenti coming right up. Simple, easy, and I really hope it works. |
| 41790 Working on your little dagger, just like you said. I'm sure it will be cute. |
| 41791 One ring of protection coming up. Yes, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, you'll be nice and safe and bored. |
| 41792 You mean you haven't done this before? |
| 41793 Whatever. Just don't blow the place up. |
| 41794 What? No. That's kinda what apprentice means, isn't it? Anyway, I'm sure it will be fine. Just you wait. |
| 41795 Heh, no problem. This is little baby-magic. Wait until we do the good stuff. |
| 41796 Sorry, but I don't bother talking to people I don't have to. <CHARNAME> is my teacher. It's <PRO_HIMHER> or nothing. |
| 41797 Just as long as it is functional. That's all that matters. |
| 41798 What powers will it have? Its enchantment should match the beauty. |
| 41799 What? Oh sure, it will do something. I think. |
| 41800 Oh, I always leave such things to the last. It seems so much more... magical to me that way. |
| 41801 I really must apologize, but apprentice mages are not allowed to speak with the friends of the master. Please, I can only talk to <CHARNAME>. |
| 41802 You'll do fine, I know it. Just do your best. |
| 41803 I don't blame you. Too many mistakes and you'll never make it as a mage. |
| 41804 I appreciate that, but I still worry. |
| 41805 Great. Now I'll never get to sleep. |
| 41806 I really must get back to my work. I cannot waste time speaking with just anyone. Only <CHARNAME> should be interrupting my studies. |
| 41807 Well, that was an interesting lesson. |
| 41808 What Larz means, teacher, is that we were successful in our studies. I present to you the Wand of the Apprenti. Just... keep it pointed somewhere else. |
| 41809 What Nara is trying to say is that we successfully made the dagger you requested. It was certainly a challenge, and we are all pleased of the results. |
| 41810 I... I am sorry, Nara. <CHARNAME>, we had a... little accident. |
| 41811 Larz is dead. There, I've said it. It's not as if you couldn't tell, what with the stain where he... |
| 41812 We made the ring. That's good, isn't it? Have to break some eggs, and all that? |
| 41813 We... we also failed to make the ring. Larz was trying to infuse the metal and... |
| 41814 We completely kicked that wand's a... |
| 41815 ...and this one's for Grandma, who said I'd never amount to anything more than a butter knife! |
| 41816 Regardless, we must now move on to another lesson and task. If you would be so good, <CHARNAME>, as to approve the next project? |
| 41817 We did it! Hurrah! |
| 41818 The name! Tell <PRO_HIMHER> about the name! |
| 41819 Yes, yes, <PRO_HESHE> already knows it's got <PRO_HISHER> name on it, you teacher's pet. |
| 41820 I'm just happy. Leave me alone. |
| 41821 Yeah, it's really got a bite to it. |
| 41822 I don't like it. It came out ugly. |
| 41823 You just wanted it to fail because it wasn't your stupid dagger. |
| 41824 You be quiet. |
| 41825 My name is Habib! |
| 41826 Is that what you call it? Interesting? It was horrible! |
| 41827 Little? Spilled milk is little. A wet baby is little. This is... is... |
| 41828 Oh, that's very funny. Larz is vaporized, and you're making jokes. That's real sweet. |
| 41829 Look, magic is dangerous! He knew it! You know it! I... I know it too. Let's... I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do. |
| 41830 Like that's important at all. He's dead! Who cares about your stupid ring?! This isn't supposed to happen. It's not! |
| 41831 I'm afraid we did not succeed in making the wand. |
| 41832 The... the dagger didn't work out the way it should have, <CHARNAME>. |
| 41833 It was Larz. He dropped the tome with the incantation while in the middle of infusing the metal of the shaft. |
| 41834 Oh, and I suppose you choosing an inferior ruby had nothing to do with it! |
| 41835 It... it was a good one... I was sure... |
| 41836 It doesn't matter! What matters is that we learned from it. |
| 41837 We learned not to let her choose the ruby. |
| 41838 If we fall behind, we'll never catch up. You know that. No, we've got to keep the pressure up. <CHARNAME>, here is what we must work on next. |
| 41839 It was Nara's fault. She spent too long on the hilt. I had no time to work the blade properly. |
| 41840 Working it? Is that what you call what you were doing? Check the wall, <CHARNAME>. It may as well be a dartboard. |
| 41841 Now see here! I... I know what I was doing! |
| 41842 Already? Are you sure we shouldn't take some time...? |
| 41843 We'll be inscribing new spells this tenday. This is the most basic function of working with magic. The only question really is how difficult of a task should we try? |
| 41844 There is a mislead scroll which will cost 250 gold in supplies, Abi-Dalzim's horrid wilting at 1,000 gold, and meteor swarm at 2,500 gold. That is also the order of difficulty. |
| 41845 I imagine this will be the safest one. Try to make the mislead scroll. |
| 41846 This is a good middle ground for difficulty. Horrid wilting is the scroll to make. |
| 41847 Go for the hard one. What's life without risk...? Besides long. Meteor swarm. |
| 41848 Very well. We'll start working on the mislead scroll. |
| 41849 Horrid wilting it is, then. |
| 41850 We shall try and make meteor swarm for you. |
| 41851 We should be able to handle that. |
| 41852 All right, but we need to take our time. |
| 41853 Okay, this is getting scary. That's no small task. |
| 41854 Yes, we'll be done before we know it. A few days, I think. |
| 41855 Yes, we'll be done before we know it. Another four days, I think. |
| 41856 We'll be okay. We've got to learn this stuff sooner or later. Four or five days from now and we'll be laughing about how hard we thought it was. |
| 41857 We'll be okay. We've got to learn this stuff sooner or later. A few days from now and we'll be laughing about how hard we thought it was. |
| 41858 Scary or not, we've got to do it. We have to learn. That's all there is to it. |
| 41859 Scary or not, we've got to do it. We have to learn. That's all there is to it. |
| 41860 This isn't much of a challenge, but perhaps it is best we go the safe route. |
| 41861 I'm comfortable with this. I think everything will be all right. |
| 41862 This really makes me nervous, but if you want to be a powerful mage, I guess you have to work with powerful magic. |
| 41863 I like this. Nice and safe, I think. I may not learn about powerful magics today, but I'll certainly live to learn it in the future. |
| 41864 I hope this works. I know you'll put our efforts to good use. |
| 41865 I... I have a really bad feeling about this. Everything is going to be all right, isn't it? It's hard to concentrate when you know it's so dangerous. |
| 41866 Wow. this sure is... exciting. Next, I shall make the broom dance. Be still, my heart. |
| 41867 When are we going to risk it all? This is easy stuff! |
| 41868 I love this. I feel like Elminster when the magic arcs through my hands. Sure, they are numb for a few hours, but it's still great. |
| 41869 Hello, <CHARNAME>. I am ready to tell you exactly what happened with our last task. |
| 41870 We did pretty well, if I might say so. |
| 41871 The result was less than I had expected, but it still taught us something. |
| 41872 We did quite well! |
| 41873 We... did not do as well as I had hoped, though it was a difficult task to ask for. |
| 41874 I'm afraid... I'm afraid that Nara... |
| 41875 No use dancing about the subject. An explosion took her. She is dead, and there is nothing that can be done. Such force... |
| 41876 I would agree. A nice result to a nice safe task. I could do this again. |
| 41877 A blind, one-armed monkey could do this again. |
| 41878 Yes, well, that said, it is time to move on to the final leg of the tasks set out in the tomes. There are no more preparatory lessons. Now comes the real test. |
| 41879 It taught me that we should respect failure and accept it as a learning tool. |
| 41880 Egad, I'm going to puke. |
| 41881 Yes indeed! I was worried, but we managed to create the spell with only a few bumps and bruises. I am amazed at how competent we seem. |
| 41882 And I'm amazed at how we manage to stand ourselves, what with us being cowards. |
| 41883 And there was danger as well. I could have lost a finger, or gotten some sort of rash. |
| 41884 Quit making excuses. What it boils down to is that we stink. |
| 41885 Boom. My ears are still ringing. Unpleasant. Very unpleasant. More so for her, I guess... |
| 41886 All for naught. All for naught. The inscription failed... violently... No spell, and no more Nara. I... I don't know... what went wrong... |
| 41887 We made the spell. It worked. It all seemed good, and then a slip of the tongue... a twitch in a casting finger... |
| 41888 I think she sneezed. Gotta be it. Couldn't have been... anything else. |
| 41889 Couldn't take the pressure, I guess. Yeah, it must have been something she did. Something. |
| 41890 We... uh... couldn't take a break for a bit? We're moving pretty... pretty quick here. |
| 41891 The pace must be kept up if the lessons are to properly teach the rigors of magic. <CHARNAME>, here are the details of the next lesson. |
| 41892 Now comes serious enchantment. These items are powerful, and also potentially deadly if not constructed properly. They show the true benefits of magical infusion. |
| 41893 I don't know if they are appropriate for apprentices to make, but it is time to find out. The first is the Robe of the Apprenti and uses many principles of magic. It will cost 250 gold to make. |
| 41894 The second is the ring of wizardry. Such rings are legendary in their usefulness. Usually, only masters make them, but I would like to try. It will cost 3,000 gold to make. |
| 41895 The third is... is from the advanced class. I borrowed a tome from a friend of mine who said no one has attempted it in years. It is armor for a mage. It is a staff of power, and will cost... 10,000 gold. |
| 41896 There is risk in all of these, particularly the last one. I think they are doable, but the making will be difficult, almost assuredly deadly. |
| 41897 Which will it be, <CHARNAME>? Which should it be? |
| 41898 Whoa! That's crazy talk! You are out of your mind! I like a challenge, but I also like living! Do you know the power involved in that? |
| 41899 Are... are you sure about this, Morul? That's pretty... extreme. It's part of the discipline, I know, but if the advanced classes won't even try it... |
| 41900 Well, if it does prove deadly, I should like the Robe of the Apprenti to remember you by. |
| 41901 The ring of wizardry is a must. I just know you can do it. |
| 41902 If you are willing, then I say go for the staff of power. It will be glorious. |
| 41903 This is all too risky. The best lesson to learn is when to back away. Stop this. |
| 41904 Are you sure of this? I imagine this will not be viewed as a failure, but it is certainly an anticlimactic way to end an apprenticeship. |
| 41905 I am resolute in this. I'll not have you risk it. |
| 41906 Then make the Robe of the Apprenti, and it shall serve as your legacy. |
| 41907 Then make me the ring of wizardry. I know you can do it. |
| 41908 Then go for the glory. Attempt the staff of power, and may the fates be damned! |
| 41909 Then the apprenticeship is over. I... I thank you for the opportunity to study under you. |
| 41910 Yeah, I guess it was a fun time. I... aw shucks, I don't do goodbyes well. |
| 41911 Farewell, <CHARNAME>. I thank you for this. All of it. |
| 41912 Teos will tell you if there are to be graduation ceremonies. I hope you will come if there are. |
| 41913 Then the Robe of the Apprenti is what it shall be. This may take another tenday to figure out, but I'm sure you will be pleased in the end. |
| 41914 A ring of wizardry. This shall be the hardest thing I have ever attempted to construct. It will be a fine... conclusion to an apprenticeship. It will take a few days. |
| 41915 Then... then the staff of power it shall be. A half-week. Check back then. You'll know in a few days if it worked. |
| 41916 This is all too expensive for now. I'll get back to you on this. |
| 41917 Very well, but do not take too long. We have academic deadlines we must meet. |
| 41918 Ready to direct our lessons, <CHARNAME>? The choices available were the Wand of the Apprenti for 1,000, the Dagger of <CHARNAME> for 250, and the ring of protection for 2,000. |
| 41919 I think you should make me the Wand of the Apprenti. I could use that. |
| 41920 The Dagger of <CHARNAME> sounds really nice. |
| 41921 You should try for the ring of protection. Very useful. |
| 41922 This is all too expensive for now. I'll get back to you on this. |
| 41923 Come on with the gold, <CHARNAME>. We can't wait forever. |
| 41924 I understand your hesitation about the price of the item, but certainly it is much less than actually trying to buy it. |
| 41925 Wait for a bit until I raise enough gold. I don't want you using cheap supplies. |
| 41926 Very well, but please hurry. We do not want to fall behind in our lessons. |
| 41927 Hello again, <CHARNAME>. Do you wish to continue our studies into the researching and scribing of spells? |
| 41928 There is mislead which will cost 250 gold in supplies, horrid wilting at 1,000 gold, and meteor swarm at 2,500 gold. That is also the order of difficulty. |
| 41929 I imagine this will be the safest one. Mislead. |
| 41930 This is a good middle ground for difficulty. Horrid wilting. |
| 41931 Go for the hard one. What's life without risk...? Besides long. Meteor swarm. |
| 41932 Wait for a bit until I raise enough gold. I don't want you using cheap supplies. |
| 41933 Wait, wait! I must raise the gold for these things. |
| 41934 Very well. Please, return before I regain my senses and decide these things are better left to archmages. |
| 41935 Well, <CHARNAME>? Are you able to supply the needed gold? 250 for the Robe of the Apprenti, 3,000 for the ring of wizardry, or... or 10,000 for the staff of power. |
| 41936 Well, if it does prove deadly, I should like the Robe of the Apprenti to remember you by. |
| 41937 The ring of wizardry is a must. I just know you can do it. |
| 41938 If you are willing, then I say go for the staff of power. It will be glorious. |
| 41939 This is all too risky. The best lesson to learn is when to back away. Stop this. |
| 41940 Wait, wait! I must still raise the gold for these things. |
| 41941 Wait, I will return when I have enough gold for these things. |
| 41942 I assure you that it shall be a work worthy of you. Despite its low cost, it is sure to be of exceptional quality. |
| 41943 I assure you that it shall be a work worthy of you. Despite its low cost, it is sure to be of exceptional quality. |
| 41944 With the polished glass reflecting the light from the gem back upon itself, the illumination is significantly brighter. |
| 41945 Now, if you will excuse me? There is work to be done. |
| 41946 Now, if you will excuse me? There is work to be done. |
| 41947 Now, if you will excuse me? There is work to be done. |
| 41948 This tomb has been cracked open, and anything of value has been removed. Looters have broken the fingers of the corpse, no doubt to take something it was holding. |
| 41949 Amulet of Power |
| 41950 This amulet bears the signature enchantments of Conster Damon, an archmage that fell in the Year of the Dracorage (1018 DR). The crispness of its etchings may have faded with fire and time, but it still echoes his famous defiant cries: "Your magic denied!" "I will be heard!" "Defeat comes swiftly!" "Take nothing from me!" It has seen much use, and changed hands many times through blood and battle. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Vocalize – Magic Resistance: +5% – Immunity to level drain – Decrease spellcasting time by 1 Weight: 3 |
| 41951 Now, if you will excuse me? There is work to be done. |
| 41952 I assure you that it will be everything you wish it to be. Such rings are always in demand, and likely always will be. |
| 41953 I assure you that it will be everything you wish it to be. Such rings are always in demand, and likely always will be. |
| 41954 Now, if you will excuse me? There is work to be done. |
| 41955 Now, if you will excuse me? There is work to be done. |
| 41956 If this gambit succeeds, the accomplishment will be nothing short of legendary. Send a good word towards Tymora, will you? |
| 41957 If this gambit succeeds, the accomplishment will be nothing short of legendary. Send a good word towards Tymora, will you? |
| 41958 This door is barred from the other side. |
| 41959 has become a shadow. |
| 41960 Please don't disturb me. The robe may seem basic, but it is actually quite tricky. |
| 41961 Rings such as this are delicate and dangerous. Please leave me to my efforts. |
| 41962 This is difficult enough without your interruptions. Please, leave me until the staff is complete. |
| 41963 All this trouble for a robe. Dangerous perhaps, but hardly interesting. |
| 41964 This is a fine task for a final project. I certainly hope the ring functions properly. |
| 41965 This is stretching our luck, even for me. I really don't even understand half of the conjuring I'm doing. Perhaps this was a mistake. |
| 41966 I hope you enjoy the robe when it is done. I put much of myself into it. I hope it will be worth it. |
| 41967 This ring will be beautiful. I really wish I understood it better though. I'm going through the motions, but I don't understand them. |
| 41968 I'm really worried, <CHARNAME>. I feel like I am in way over my head, and I keep getting dragged further. This is really scary stuff we're working with. |
| 41969 Now, if you will excuse me? There is work to be done. |
| 41970 Well... I must say I am relieved to be talking to you. I wish I could say the same for all of my compatriots. |
| 41971 Larz is dead. The energies we were dealing with overwhelmed him. I wish I could say I fully understand what happened. |
| 41972 Nara and Larz are both dead, leaving me alone. Head of the class now, I guess... I... guess. |
| 41973 Level Drain |
| 41974 has stopped time! |
| 41975 Higgold |
| 41976 Higgold |
| 41977 Zaren |
| 41978 Zaren |
| 41979 What happened? We overreached ourselves, that's what happened. And now he's dead. He's dead! |
| 41980 And nothing will change that! Nara... |
| 41981 Don't talk to me. Nobody talk to me. |
| 41982 She will be all right, <CHARNAME>. It will just take time. |
| 41983 All is not lost today. The robe was constructed as planned. The cost just involved more... more blood than I had planned. Here. |
| 41984 I fear the day was a total loss. Friends gave their blood for an enchantment that fouled in their absence. The robe did not come to be. |
| 41985 At least their deaths have been for something. The ring of wizardry turned out wonderful. It cost... 3,000 gold... and two lives. I suppose that is a bargain. |
| 41986 Their deaths... their deaths were for nothing. The ring fouled when I lost their voices from the incantations. 3,000 gold and... and two lives. Gone. |
| 41987 Well... this ends the apprenticeship. I must say that... that I enjoyed my time here. I wish things could have turned out differently, I really do. |
| 41988 Safe travels to you, <CHARNAME>. I will have Teos send word if there are to be graduation ceremonies. |
| 41989 Yes, I thank you for allowing me to stay here. It was... certainly educational... if I must call it something. |
| 41990 Well, <CHARNAME>, it would appear as though you have wiped out an entire class of young mages. Excellent tutoring. |
| 41991 I tried my best. I am saddened by their fate. |
| 41992 Entirely their own faults. I tried to guide them properly, but they took risks. |
| 41993 These things happen. Am I to face some sort of punishment? |
| 41994 I am sure you are, as will their parents. I'm not sure what my superiors were expecting though. I told them this was a bad idea. |
| 41995 I am certain you did your best, though what my superiors expected that to be, I do not know. I told them this was a bad idea. |
| 41996 I doubt it. As incompetent as I think you are, apprentices die all the time. That is the hazard of learning what you can and cannot control. |
| 41997 I will report the fates of these youths to the proper people, and you will see no more of me for a time. |
| 41998 And before you ask, no, I have not learned anything new about your Imoen friend. I have not forgotten. You must be patient. |
| 41999 I will return when I can. Until then, try to stay inconspicuous. |
| 42000 Yes, yes, do what you can. |
| 42001 Can you help send these Solamnic Knights to their own plane? |
| 42002 Some unfortunate travelers that got caught in this sphere? No one here will miss them. I say kill them and save yourself the headache. |
| 42003 But if you must help them, I suggest speaking with Ribald at the Adventurer Mart. He seems to have all sorts of things for unique situations such as this. |
| 42004 Beyond that, the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart deals with knights; I do not. Just one of the problems you are sure to encounter in this place. |
| 42005 I need to send a group of Solamnic Knights back to their plane. Can you help? |
| 42006 Well, now that is something I am not asked everyday. Another plane, you say? Strangeness indeed. |
| 42008 Please, if you can help, I would appreciate it. |
| 42009 Do you or do you not have means to help them? |
| 42010 Hmm... I may have something that fits yer bill perfectly. Yes, yes, I believe I do. |
| 42011 I know a mage, a fine mage. She has been known to do a favor on occasion. Yes, the more I think of it the more I am sure she can do exactly as you have asked. |
| 42012 That is excellent! What are we standing around here for then? |
| 42013 Well, quit stalling and get her over here then. |
| 42014 Yes, she can do exactly as you have asked... for a fee. I recall her banishing a planar creature before... that was quite costly. |
| 42015 That was a single creature, and you say you have multiple ones? I think the enterprise will cost you... oh... 9,000 gold. |
| 42016 9,000 gold! That is outrageous! |
| 42017 All right then! Here is your damn gold! |
| 42018 I cannot afford that. |
| 42019 That depends on who you ask. These knights of yours might think it quite reasonable. Take it or leave it. |
| 42020 Fine, I'll take it. |
| 42021 I cannot afford it. |
| 42022 Then return when you can afford it. I can go no lower for the services of someone else. |
| 42023 For the glory of Amn! |
| 42024 I have come back regarding the Solamnic Knights and your criminal price. |
| 42025 A pleasure doing business with you. You are in that wondrously odd sphere, are you not? I'll have my friend come by there tomorrow. |
| 42026 How did you know where I needed your mage to go? |
| 42027 She had better not be late! |
| 42028 I have ears all about town. Besides, where would planar creatures tend to be? The weirdest place in town, I'll wager. Go on, she'll be there tomorrow. |
| 42029 Not at these prices, she won't be. |
| 42030 Bravo! *clap* *clap* Bravo! |
| 42031 (Why is he clapping? The play was... was... horrendous!) |
| 42032 Boo! Booo! |
| 42033 (I've never seen such a terrible performance of the Turmish play! These actors are awful!) Boo! Hiss! |
| 42034 (Well... it was all right, I suppose.) *clap* *clap* |
| 42035 (I saw it done better in Calimport, actually.) |
| 42036 *clap* *clap* Excellently done! |
| 42037 (I've... never seen the Turmish play done better!) Bravo! Encore! |
| 42038 A masterpiece! *clap* *clap* |
| 42039 Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! *clap* *clap* *clap* |
| 42040 Attention, everyone! The honorable Pehllus Tanislove is about to speak! |
| 42041 Yes. Well. Despite what I might think about the rest of the play, I must admit that the performance of the lead actor... that wizard fellow... was really quite spectacular. |
| 42042 It is with talent like this that the city of Athkatla will continue to shine amongst other cultural centers in Faerûn. |
| 42043 As a result, I am awarding the gift of Azlaer's Harp to this actor... a fine instrument that will show the rest of the lands that Athkatla supports its artists. |
| 42044 The rest of the play was... fine, I suppose. If stilted... and a bit awkward. Considering the potential this playhouse has, however, I have decided to award it 1,000 gold to help improve their next production. |
| 42045 The rest of the play was quite well done. I look forward to future productions from this playhouse and its members... and commend you for a daring first choice. |
| 42046 The rest of the play was most excellent. I do not think I have seen "Sorcerer's Bane" performed quite this well... and I have seen it performed many times. |
| 42047 This playhouse is obviously an establishment of excellence and distinction... and I intend to recommend that it be named the official playhouse of Athkatla for next year. |
| 42048 Bravo! Well done, actors, well done! |
| 42049 Yes. Well. Despite what I might think about the rest of the play, I must say that the performance of the lead actor... that wizard fellow... has some potential. Excellent talent, if an uneven performance. |
| 42050 Yes. Well. Despite what I might think about the rest of the play, I must say that the performance of the lead actor... that wizard fellow... was quite awful. He really brought down the level of the play. *sigh* |
| 42051 Well. The play was a flop... we had our chance and it didn't please Lord Tanislove or the audience. *sigh* I suppose we needn't bother continuing the show. |
| 42052 At least we can commend our <PRO_LADYLORD> patron for a fine performance as Velden... it is just too bad that the rest of us weren't up to <PRO_HISHER> level. |
| 42053 We can thank our <PRO_LADYLORD> patron for <PRO_HISHER> valiant attempt at filling in for Velden... but I suppose this curse was simply too much for us. |
| 42054 I... I can't believe we actually got booed! |
| 42055 I have never been part of such a travesty. I regret that I ever lowered myself to be a part of this troupe. |
| 42056 Oooh... I wish *sniff* I could have been there... this sickness came on me so suddenly. Thank you, <CHARNAME>, for helping out. *sniff* I just wish I could still play Velden... |
| 42057 At any rate, <CHARNAME>, the play isn't going to continue. I tried my best... and I am sorry to say I failed you. |
| 42058 Some of us have accepted positions with a troupe traveling through town... I understand that they're going on to Riatavin. Others... are just moving on. |
| 42059 And... Goodman Thunderburp asked me to give you something. He said there is no point in having an empty playhouse... so he plans to turn it back into a cellar. |
| 42060 To make up for the inconvenience, he asked me to give you this... 5,000 crowns. To buy out the playhouse. |
| 42061 But now it's time to leave. Good luck, everyone, and fare well in your future roles. And... good luck, <CHARNAME>. I hope you find what you're looking for. |
| 42062 Well... I'm glad Lord Tanislove at least enjoyed the play, and that it went over fairly well. Considering what we went through, it's a bloody miracle. |
| 42063 I... I messed up a few of my lines, especially in the last scene... |
| 42064 But it still went well overall. At least we didn't get booed and Lord Tanislove didn't walk out on us... |
| 42065 Well, still. We could have done a lot better. Let's not pick a play with a curse attached next season, eh? |
| 42066 We can congratulate our <PRO_LADYLORD> patron for such a good job on short notice! Zaren would have loved to be on stage, but <CHARNAME> did fine. |
| 42067 We must thank our <PRO_LADYLORD> patron especially for filling in for Zaren as well on such short notice. I shudder to think what might have happened otherwise. |
| 42068 *sniff* I wish I could have been there... bloody sickness just... *sniff*... washed over me. It has to be the curse! *sniff* Oh, well... at least I'll get to play Velden still. |
| 42069 Aye, good job, everyone... just remember that this is only the first performance... We have plenty more to come, and I want to see this play improve each time. |
| 42070 Er, there is one more thing, <CHARNAME>. I've noticed you are a traveler, an adventurer. I was wondering if the life of a patron was really what you wished... |
| 42071 I say this because I've grown rather fond of this playhouse and would like to make you an offer for it. 10,000 crowns, to be exact. |
| 42072 If you don't wish that, it's perfectly all right. I can continue to run the playhouse for you and turn over the weekly profits. What do you think, <CHARNAME>? |
| 42073 I don't need the headaches, Higgold. If you want to own the playhouse, I'd be pleased to sell it to you. |
| 42074 I'd prefer to remain the owner of the playhouse, Higgold. I'm rather fond of it myself. |
| 42075 A pleasure, as always. Ahh, but such a waste to watch your blood drain to the sewers. Can you hear them? The rats are singing. |
| 42076 Ahh, <CHARNAME>, I see you are enjoying the night as well. I do not often participate in the hunt myself, but once in a while... |
| 42077 Hello there, <CHARNAME>. Yes, I heard your approach, and I know your name. We will meet again in the future, but for now, there are only a few simple things you need remember. |
| 42078 Hello, <CHARNAME>, I heard you approach. Did you appreciate the performance? Was it to your liking? I should hope so. You will see it again in future. |
| 42079 I am most thankful, <CHARNAME>! I... I did not suspect that I would own a playhouse of this potential not three months ago... |
| 42080 I am a creature of habit, I suppose. Sorry I cannot stay to chat, but we shall see each other soon enough. |
| 42081 I live, my followers live, and those that oppose us do not. Remember this in your search for Irenicus... and Imoen. |
| 42082 Yes, I believe you shall. |
| 42083 All right, everyone... time to get back to work! We've got performances to prepare for! |
| 42084 I understand perfectly, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps it will be worth more to you in the long run at any rate, yes? |
| 42085 A wonderful evening! Excellent performances! And to think, this will be the official playhouse of the city for the next year! The crowds will be enormous! |
| 42086 The playhouse will be packed! We've a reputation to match now, so we'll all be busy. And of course, there's next season to start preparing for as well! |
| 42087 A truly commendable effort on all of our parts. I did not think I had joined true peers of mine when I came to this troupe, but obviously I was mistaken. |
| 42088 Oh, this is so exciting! The official playhouse! We could all become stars of the theater! |
| 42089 Oh my... I already got an invitation to a noble's estate for dinner! This... this is going to be all so very strange... |
| 42090 I... I messed up a few of my lines, especially in the last scene... but I'm glad it turned out okay! |
| 42091 And we have, in large part, our own <PRO_LADYLORD> patron to thank for our great success! That <PRO_HESHE> would take the role on such short notice and do so well is outstanding! |
| 42092 And we must not forget to thank our <PRO_LADYLORD> patron, who took up the role of Velden without preparation... without <PRO_HIMHER>, tonight would not have even been possible! |
| 42093 I... I wish I could have been part of that success. I was SO looking forward to it. *sniff* But, of course, that damn curse had to inflict me with a bloody illness. At least I will get to play Velden still. |
| 42094 A toast to everyone for a job well done! And a toast to our patron, the patron of the official playhouse of Athkatla! |
| 42095 Hear! Hear! |
| 42096 Hurrah! |
| 42097 Well. I, for one, cannot believe that we blew our biggest chance to make a name for ourselves and the playhouse. Our reputation is ruined. |
| 42098 I... I saw the councilor storming out of the theater... he was SO angry! |
| 42099 Why couldn't you have done the role, <CHARNAME>? You... you're a bard, aren't you? I thought that... |
| 42100 You should have done it. Now you have made fools of us all. |
| 42101 And ruined all the planning that went into this. There will be no more plays. The curse, if there was one, has overwhelmed us. |
| 42102 And that, of course, means that there is no point in our staying. I tried my best for you, <CHARNAME>... I would have at least liked the chance to succeed. |
| 42103 This... this play is not going well at all! Everyone is so angry and upset... oh, I don't know if anything's going to improve! I... I can barely remember my lines! |
| 42104 Oh! Excuse me... I'm trying to rehearse my lines. I've got so many little parts to play, you know... |
| 42105 Everything is going so well! This... this is going to be a wonderful play, I just know it! I'm so excited I could pee! |
| 42106 I wouldn't have thought it possible... the cursed play, and it's going to be a masterpiece! I can feel it in my bones! |
| 42107 I'm so frustrated, I'm ready to tear my hair out! This is going so wrong, everything's wrong! I... I can barely sleep! How am I going to act?! |
| 42108 This is going to be wonderful... everyone here is butting heads all the time, but there's this... feeling... that we're doing something great. |
| 42109 Ohhh, I've got to get these last lines down pat! Why do I keep forgetting them? Everything's got to be perfect! |
| 42110 There's a good sense here... we've a fine group of actors assembled in this playhouse. Haven't been part of a troupe like this in quite some time... |
| 42111 I... I know I'm going to do well on stage. I'm convincing myself of that... I WILL do well! |
| 42112 This is one of the finest troupes I have been part of. Truly, they deserve my presence here. We will do well with this play, I think. |
| 42113 Ach, this play is going to be an embarrassment, I just know it! Awful, awful! Why did I ever listen to that horrid little Higgold?! |
| 42114 I am very excited about being a part of this play... it is going to be remembered fondly by anyone who sees it if things continue this well! |
| 42115 Things are not going well. This play is going to be a dark stain on my career... I should have stayed in Scornubel. It's the curse, I know it! |
| 42116 I never thought that being part of an acting troupe would be like this! This... the play is wonderful! Beautiful! I am so happy I met Higgold! |
| 42117 Everybody's... so mad. And they're all blaming each other. Is this what the theater is like? Nothing feels... right about this. |
| 42118 Know, noble heroes, that you are not forgotten. May this altar always stand as a monument to your unselfish courage. Farewell! <CHARNAME>, the inscription if you would. |
| 42119 It is done, and the world of the living continues. We should retire to Imnesvale, friend, and inform the good minister that the shadow is lifted. Let us go. |
| 42120 Sssssthhh... Mazzy... you left us here... no matter... join the delightful darknesss... (The shadow chitters in a most disturbing manner.) |
| 42121 Patrick! ...No, not Patrick, only his twisted spirit! My poor friends, what has he done to you? |
| 42122 He's given us back... our existence... sssthhh... we're all here, Mazzy. Join us... embrace the master... |
| 42123 All right, I'll do as I've agreed, but you should know that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine, above and beyond anything else. |
| 42124 Ha! Excellent, my servant. Ha ha! Our Lady Knight shall embrace the darkness and give the gift of flesh that I might keep my hold on this mortal plane. |
| 42125 Okay, let's go. |
| 42126 An old friend? Who's that? |
| 42127 Balmitance |
| 42128 Her name is Imoen, and she's been taken prisoner by the Cowled Wizards... and I'm not about to leave her to their mercy. |
| 42129 If she needs help, then of course I'm willing to help you find her, if you want me to. But we have to take care of my family's situation first, that's all I ask! |
| 42130 That's none of your concern. |
| 42131 Well, if that's your attitude, I don't know how I can help! Just help me with my family's keep first, and we can discuss all that later, okay? |
| 42132 Far from it, fiend. I am the light that shall dispel your darkness. |
| 42133 All right, I'll do as I've agreed, but you should know that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine, above and beyond anything else. |
| 42134 You shall have to kill me first. We've gotten past your pet wyrm. What do you think we shall do to you and your altar? |
| 42135 Okay, let's go. |
| 42136 Bravado, of course. Your kind grows tiresome and predictable, yet you may be of some use to me. |
| 42137 I shall not be used by the likes of you! |
| 42138 Just one thing, Nalia... you have to know that my goal is to rescue an old friend of mine, first and foremost. Everything else is secondary. |
| 42139 Oh, but you shall, mortal. This body that I inhabit grows tired. You shall make an excellent replacement. Come, my shades! Open the portal! This brash fool has some strength. |
| 42140 All right, let's go. |
| 42141 There's something you should know first, Nalia. I intend to rescue an old friend of mine who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards... it could be quite dangerous. |
| 42142 Okay, then, let's go. |
| 42143 I don't mind a bit of danger, <CHARNAME>. Who's the old friend? |
| 42144 Her name's Imoen... I grew up with her in Candlekeep, and I'm not about to leave her to those wizards' mercies. |
| 42145 That's none of your concern. |
| 42146 Well, if she's in need of help, I'd be happy to assist you! I think it's a noble cause to help a friend... so let's go, already! |
| 42147 Well, if that's your attitude, I don't know how I'll be able to help. I owe you, though, for all the help you've given me, so I'll do all I can. |
| 42148 I should tell you first, Edwin, that my ultimate goal is to rescue Imoen... which may be quite a dangerous task. |
| 42149 All right, then, let's go. |
| 42150 And it is considerably less dangerous, now that I am with you. But why does the mewling little snippet need rescuing, if I might hazard the question? |
| 42151 She's been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards for using magic in the city, and I'm not about to leave her with them. |
| 42152 That's none of your business. |
| 42153 You are a fool to pit yourself against such an organization for the benefit of that brat. Fortunately for you, I still choose to accompany you for now. |
| 42154 The answer I would expect from one whose brain has the consistency of running mud. I will still join your ranks despite your fool's errand... for now. |
| 42155 You shall not free the master's consort, mortal! |
| 42156 In the name of the council, I am here to keep order! |
| 42157 Magic is prohibited. You will not be warned again. |
| 42158 I think you should know, Aerie, that my ultimate goal is to rescue a friend of mine... Imoen... who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards. It could be dangerous. |
| 42159 Right... let's go. |
| 42160 Oh, I would be glad to help you, truly I would... but we simply must help Uncle Quayle first! We must! |
| 42161 I think you should know, Aerie, that my ultimate goal is to rescue a friend of mine... Imoen... who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards. It could be dangerous. |
| 42162 You'd be welcome. Let's go. |
| 42163 Imoen...? If... if she means as much to you as Uncle Quayle did to me, I'd... I'd be glad to help you look for her, no matter what the danger is! |
| 42164 You should know, Aerie, that my goal is to rescue a friend of mine... Imoen... who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards. It could be dangerous. |
| 42165 All right, let's go then, Aerie. |
| 42166 Balmitance |
| 42167 If this friend of yours... if she's in danger, then I'd be glad to help you look for her. It's the least that I owe you, no matter what the danger is! |
| 42168 I think you should know, Aerie, that my ultimate goal is to rescue a friend of mine... Imoen... who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards. It could be dangerous. |
| 42169 Okay, let's go. |
| 42170 I think you should know, Aerie, that my ultimate goal is to rescue a friend of mine... Imoen... who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards. It could be dangerous. |
| 42171 Very well... let's go. |
| 42172 There's nothing left for me here. And I am not defenseless... Uncle Quayle taught me well. It's a noble thing to help a friend, so... I'd be glad to help you find her. |
| 42173 Excellent! Adventure and honor await us both! |
| 42174 I should tell you first, perhaps, that I seek to rescue an old friend who is being held hostage by the Cowled Wizards. There may be significant risk. |
| 42175 All right, let's go. |
| 42176 Truly? It sounds like a worthy cause to pursue. But who is this friend that you speak of? |
| 42177 An old friend... Imoen. We grew up together at Candlekeep, and I'm not about to abandon her to these wizards. |
| 42178 That's none of your concern right now. |
| 42179 Ah, the rescue of a childhood companion! Come, then, my new friend! Let us strive to find this Imoen of yours and challenge all the dangers that bar our way! |
| 42180 Hm. Then I hope that your friend's imprisonment be unjust, for to seek otherwise would bring my wrath upon you. But I trust that it is... so let us begin your valiant quest anon! |
| 42181 One thing first... I should tell you that I intend to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen, and this takes precedence over anything else. |
| 42182 Fine, let's go. |
| 42183 Harumph. So long as we be headin' to the tomb, I have nae a care what ye does afterwards to find yer girlie. Mmm... what does the lass need rescuing from, if ye be tellin'? |
| 42184 She's being held prisoner by the Cowled Wizards, and I'm not about to leave her there. |
| 42185 Har! I've nae a liking fer base dabblers in the blacker arts. Mayhap I might be joinin' ye to slaughter a few of the bastards, eh? But yon book comes first! |
| 42186 That's none of your concern. |
| 42187 Aye, so it's like that, is it? We gather yon book first, then... and if ye still wishes me to be helpin' ye with the girlie, I'll decide it then! But off we go! |
| 42188 It is Dawn, O Seeker of Light. What is thy first duty? |
| 42189 Let us depart then, my new companion. I've an itch to pepper a few hobgoblins with crossbow bolts. |
| 42190 I should probably tell you first that my goal is to rescue an old friend of mine, Imoen, who is being held hostage by the Cowled Wizards. |
| 42191 All right, let's go. |
| 42192 Ahhh, the plot thickens. Not unlike a good bowl of turnip soup if you've let it sit out for the proper amount of time. Traditionally, that's a week, although Pappy used to complain about the smell so much that we just went and shortened it to a day and a half. It doesn't taste quite the same, though, which just goes to show you that you can't buck tradition. I'll make you some, and Imoen too, if time allows. You won't regret it! |
| 42193 I should probably tell you first that my goal is to rescue an old friend of mine, Imoen, who is being held hostage by the Cowled Wizards. |
| 42194 Okay, let's go. |
| 42195 One thing, though, Viconia... you should probably know that Imoen is being held hostage by the Cowled Wizards, and that I intend to rescue her. |
| 42196 All right, let's go. |
| 42197 I remember the insipidly cheerful girl you mention. You would risk such danger to recover her annoying presence? Why would you bother, <CHARNAME>? |
| 42198 I would no more abandon her to the Cowled Wizards than leave you to those fanatics, that's why. |
| 42199 I'm not about to explain it to you, Viconia. |
| 42200 It seems that my own circumstance leaves me little choice. Very well, <CHARNAME>, let us rescue the girl if it means so much to your misguided senses. |
| 42201 It would not be adequate regardless. I suspect magical torture would make her much easier to tolerate, but I am sure you will do as you wish. So be it. |
| 42202 One thing, though, Viconia... you should probably know that Imoen is being held hostage by the Cowled Wizards, and that I intend to rescue her. |
| 42203 All right, let's go. |
| 42204 I should tell you, I think, that I have another mission as well. I seek to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards. |
| 42205 Very well, let's go. |
| 42206 I know little of the wizards except that they meddle in the affairs of others far too often. Aid me first in this cause, my friend, and I will then strive to aid you in yours. Let us be off. |
| 42207 I should tell you, I think, that I have another mission as well. I seek to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards. |
| 42208 Very well, let's go. |
| 42209 I feel I should tell you first that I plan to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen. She is held captive by the Cowled Wizards, and there could be considerable danger. |
| 42210 All right, let's go. |
| 42211 The presence of danger does not deter me. And as for the wizards, I know little of them beyond their reputation for suspicious activities. Let us begin this task, then, of freeing your friend. |
| 42212 Where are the mirrors, the switches to pull to show where he is hidden...? *sob* Khalid...! |
| 42213 Damn... damn you... |
| 42214 I... no. |
| 42215 This... this is Khalid? What has happened to him? |
| 42216 This isn't real, is it? He couldn't be dead? |
| 42217 Looks like the fool finally got himself killed. |
| 42218 Damn you! I will have the heart of who has done this! I will tear their blackened heart from their... I will... |
| 42219 Shut up! No more words! Words are nothing! |
| 42220 I knew him not, but I mourn for your loss. |
| 42221 Stranger! Nobody! I will not hear your words! Leave me! |
| 42222 A brave man has fallen here, but that is no cause to hurl insults at the living. Here, Boo shall comfort you. |
| 42223 No words! No more words! Save your speeches, save your proverbs! The only voice I wish to hear is... is dead! No more! No... |
| 42224 Imbecile! Affront to nature! What do you and your rodent know?! What can you know?! |
| 42225 No... |
| 42226 Khalid of my heart, let my love... my love guide the way... |
| 42227 Khalid? Silvanus, let him hear my vow... If I must, I shall empty this city of all within to find his killer... So do I swear. |
| 42228 Well, that was certainly morbid. Are you going to talk to him often? |
| 42229 A fine sentiment. I will aid as best I can. |
| 42230 We have other things to worry about too. Don't waste your time. |
| 42231 It is my wont to do this, and I shall see that it is done properly. If you would assist, more the better. If not, be prepared to stand aside. |
| 42232 If there is nothing else, I bid you farewell. |
| 42233 There is nothing. Thank you for your time. |
| 42234 I seek a home for a group of Solamnic Knights. They are trapped in this plane. |
| 42235 Good day. |
| 42236 Solamnic Knights? We have heard of such a group through the visions of Helm and Torm. |
| 42237 I regret that I do not know how they could be sent home, but if what you say is true, they would be honored guests here. |
| 42238 Have them come, and I shall give them lodgings. There is always evil to strive against, even if they are not in their home plane. They can do their work here. |
| 42239 Good. That will get them out of my way. |
| 42240 I thank you, though they would rather go home. |
| 42241 What has become of the Solamnic Knights? |
| 42242 They have settled here. I am certain they miss their proper plane, as any of us would, but they can do much good wherever they are. |
| 42243 You did good sending them to me. They will have productive lives and leave a fine legacy. I am sure they thank you. Good day. |
| 42244 Magic abominations! I recognize your forms and smell your treachery! I will kill you and remove your taint, and use your corpses as evidence to banish the Cowled Wizards! |
| 42245 Then come to your fate! I will see this matter finished! |
| 42246 Can we not talk about this? |
| 42247 What do you want from me? Why do you hate mages? |
| 42248 Your vile tongue can spew what it likes; I am deaf to those such as you. Vile abominations! Fall! |
| 42249 Hello, <CHARNAME>. Ribald has told me you wish some people sent to their proper plane? Knights of some sort? Are we ready to do this? |
| 42250 Let us ask the Knights themselves if they are ready to go. |
| 42251 No, you are no longer needed. Can I get my money back now? |
| 42252 Wait just a moment, will you? I'll get back to you. |
| 42253 Very well. But please make it quick. |
| 42254 Let me ponder upon the answer a moment. Ah, no. A deal is a deal, and you have wasted my time here. Farewell. |
| 42255 We are ready, of course. Our home beckons from beyond the walls of dimensions. |
| 42256 Yes, well, be that as it may, this might sting a bit. Farewell, then. And farewell to you, <CHARNAME>. A pleasure doing business with you. |
| 42257 Wait! One last second. <CHARNAME>, we know this was not an inexpensive gift that you give to us. That is why we have something for you in return. |
| 42258 And with that, we are gone. |
| 42259 Courtier |
| 42260 Take this. It is a small token of our gratitude. Well met and safe travels. |
| 42261 Hello, <CHARNAME>. Have you a good word for us? Is there anything that can be done for us? Can we be sent home? |
| 42262 I do not know yet. I will try and see what can be done. |
| 42263 I have arranged for a mage to come and send you home. It was quite expensive. |
| 42264 I spoke with the prelate of the Order of the Radiant Heart. They would love to have you. |
| 42265 Then we are in your debt. I cannot say how happy this makes me feel. I eagerly await their arrival and our departure. Again, thank you. |
| 42266 I see. You are suggesting that we make what lives we can within this paladins' order. Perhaps... perhaps we should. |
| 42267 The likelihood of our return home is minimal. We must move on. We will go to this Order, and we will offer our lives to their cause. |
| 42268 Thank you, <CHARNAME>, I am grateful, if not happy. It is not home, but it will serve. |
| 42269 You there! You are <CHARNAME>, are you not? I have a message, a message from the Cowled Wizards. |
| 42270 Well, <CHARNAME>, how did you find the experience of tutoring? I trust you gave your apprentices proper instruction? |
| 42271 I did, though they were hard to teach. They made mistakes that cost them dearly. |
| 42272 I am afraid I could have done better. They paid a high price for my inexperience. |
| 42273 I found it very rewarding. I feel I have contributed to the future of magery. |
| 42274 It was a constant pain in the buttocks! Why was I given this menial task? |
| 42275 Yes, well, I am sure no one really cares one way or another. To be honest, I think they were merely dumped upon you to keep you busy. |
| 42276 But, seeing as how they all survived, you are cordially invited to their graduation, which we will be holding right here. |
| 42277 They are a small class, and renting a hall would be excessive. I hope you are dressed for it; you are the only guest. It starts in... oh, about five minutes. |
| 42278 But, seeing as how at least some of them survived your tutelage, you are cordially invited to the graduation ceremony, which will be held right here. |
| 42279 Oooh, I'm all nervous. |
| 42280 When I was asked to speak with the graduating class of 1369 DR, I was of course flattered. To see the new generation spread their wings... is a wonderful thing. |
| 42281 Of course, a few feathers have been plucked... but that is to be expected. Nary a graduating class can escape losing a student or two. Why, my own class had its roster drastically cut, but no one was really to blame. |
| 42282 That all of the students lived is an even more remarkable thing. Why, in my very own class, there were several fatalities, and I must reiterate that no one was really to blame. |
| 42283 Well, wasn't that heartwarming? I'll leave you to reflect upon that while I go see to some business of my own. |
| 42284 Wait, I need to know if you can help me send these Solamnic Knights home. |
| 42285 That's it? You've nothing else for me? What about my friend Imoen? |
| 42286 Very well. I await your next assignment. |
| 42287 Some unfortunate travelers that got caught in this sphere? No one here will miss them. I say kill them and save yourself the headache. |
| 42288 But if you must help them, I suggest speaking with Ribald at the Adventurer Mart. He seems to have all sorts of things for unique situations such as this. |
| 42289 Courtier |
| 42290 Beyond that, the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart deals with knights; I do not. Just one of the problems you are sure to encounter in this place. |
| 42291 And before you ask, no, I have no information about Imoen. I will ask again, because I know you will pester me. |
| 42292 I find it annoying too, but it is as though we are having trouble contacting all of our resources. I will ask what is going on. Until then, take care. |
| 42293 I am afraid I have no more to tell you than I did before, which is nothing. I am getting nowhere with official channels. |
| 42294 You do that. I will return. |
| 42295 Return to your planar sphere at once. Teos awaits you there with urgent news. Make haste, or all is lost. |
| 42296 There! Get them! All must die! For the glory of Argrim! |
| 42297 Hello, <CHARNAME>. |
| 42298 Well? |
| 42299 Well what? |
| 42300 Quit playing games. What did you want? |
| 42301 Don't waste my time, Teos. Why am I here? |
| 42302 What? I got a message that you needed to speak to me. That is why I am here. I sent you no message. |
| 42303 What is going on here? |
| 42304 Well, that was certainly unpleasant. Sorry I... sorry I wasn't much help, but Iâ€â€I sprained a casting finger. Ha ha... |
| 42305 Oh, all right! So I'm a coward! So what?! There are more important things to think of right now, so stop looking at me like that. |
| 42306 Keep talking, worm. |
| 42307 Just speak. What was this all about? |
| 42308 You are not the only one with enemies. The Cowled Wizards have many. Some are incredibly fanatical as well. |
| 42309 We have relegated magic to something that only our guards are allowed to do in public. That is not enough for some people. |
| 42310 One man in particular is a danger. Lord Ketlaar Argrim. He is an anti-magic fanatic and wants us all confined or killed. |
| 42311 Obviously, he views this planar sphere as a big magical slap in the face, and he would probably prefer you removed from the city... in a box. |
| 42312 Hence the attack. What can I do? |
| 42313 Can he be reasoned with? |
| 42314 I'll kill the bastard. That will solve the problem. |
| 42315 We have thought about this for some time, and we have devised a plan. I suppose it is time to unleash it and see what happens. |
| 42316 He will not listen to reason, and if we kill him, he will be a martyr for his cause. No, we must simply... make him disappear. |
| 42317 I do not mean kill him, I mean disappear. Forever. With a specially attuned rune of imprisonment. If a mage could use it on him... well, he would be gone. |
| 42318 Obviously, the Cowled Wizards cannot be implicated. That is where you come in. |
| 42319 I see. I will take care of your problem for you. |
| 42320 I'll gladly try it. I'll not let him continue this little crusade of his. |
| 42321 And if I refuse? |
| 42322 It's your problem as well now. More attacks will come. Besides, I'd hate to have to take the sphere away from you now. You've made a home here. |
| 42323 That is unfortunate. Such an abrupt end to this long relationship. I will almost miss you. Almost. Farewell then. |
| 42324 Take the damn thing. I'll not be your stooge anymore! |
| 42325 All right, I will help. |
| 42326 You are now barred from entering the sphere. It's a little spell we've been working on. So sorry. |
| 42327 Good and good. Here is the rune. Be careful; it will only work on Lord Argrim, and it has a frightfully long casting time. |
| 42328 You'll have to keep him occupied while you use it. Go to the city gates and find a place called the Crooked Crane. Upstairs, you will find our enemy. Good luck. |
| 42329 You had this ever-so-special rune on you? I smell a rat. |
| 42330 I will do what I can for the benefit of mages everywhere. |
| 42331 Well, perhaps he was encouraged to find you, but that changes nothing. It's him or you. Good luck. |
| 42332 That's the spirit. |
| 42333 How have you been doing? Is the deed done? Is Argrim imprisoned? |
| 42334 I have not yet done it. It will take some time. |
| 42335 Unfortunately, I killed him. |
| 42336 I imprisoned him! Here is the rune! |
| 42337 Whatever, just do it. If he continues, magic use will be grounds for torture and executions, not imprisonment. He is the greater of two evils. |
| 42338 You fool! Now a hundred more will follow in his wake! Fanatics breed off the death of their comradesâ€â€it's their bread and butter. |
| 42339 That is good. His disappearance will appear more an act of cowardice than anything. Perhaps we will take the steam out of the extremists' plans now. |
| 42340 Then we shall travel together as companions. With Arvoreen's blessing, our partnership shall be a fruitful one. |
| 42341 I should tell you first, perhaps, that I intend to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen after this is done. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 42342 All right, let's go. |
| 42343 Truly? Another is held captive below by the Shade Lord? |
| 42344 No, no. Imoen was taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards in Athkatla. I intend to free her from their clutches. |
| 42345 No, not by the Shade Lord. But it doesn't matter right now... Let's just go. |
| 42346 A noble cause that I shall be glad to help you with. |
| 42347 As you say, then... we fight the dark evil that has infested this place, and then we stride forth as new companions to complete your quest. |
| 42348 I should probably tell you before you agree that I intend to rescue an old friend of mine, Imoen, who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards. It could be dangerous. |
| 42349 All right, let's go. |
| 42350 There is strength in numbers with you. And if you wish to have my help in exacting a toll against the Cowled Wizards that stand in your way, you'll hear no complaint from me. |
| 42351 I think I should tell you as well that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen, who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 42352 All right, let's go. |
| 42353 Then you need my help? If you aid me in completing the quest I have begun, I have no qualms about aiding you in yours. It might be an exciting diversion. |
| 42354 I think I should tell you as well that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen, who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 42355 All right, let's go. |
| 42356 I think I should tell you as well that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen, who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 42357 All right, let's go. |
| 42358 I think I should tell you as well that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen, who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 42359 All right, let's go. |
| 42360 I think I should tell you as well that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen, who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 42361 All right, let's go. |
| 42362 I think I should tell you as well that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen, who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 42363 All right, let's go. |
| 42364 I think I should tell you as well that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen, who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 42365 Okay, let's go. |
| 42366 I think I should tell you that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen. She's a captive of the Cowled Wizards. |
| 42367 All right, let's go, unless more is to be done here. |
| 42368 Hmm, I know little of these Cowled Wizards, but enough to believe that your friend may be in real danger. I would be happy to help, regardless of the risk. |
| 42369 I think I should tell you that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend of mine named Imoen, who has been taken hostage by the Cowled Wizards. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 42370 All right, let's go. |
| 42371 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded I have met a young woman by the name of Nalia, who is desperate to find help for her family's keep, which is under siege by a force that she has not yet explained. She has agreed to tell us all if we meet her by the keep, which she has marked on our map... but we must travel there quickly if we are to be any help at all. |
| 42372 You must move closer to the creature in the tank to converse with it. |
| 42373 Then you seem to make a career of freeing the imprisoned from their cages, my raven... and so you should, as you do it well. Might I inquire as to the identity of this hostage? An old lover? A relative, mayhap? |
| 42374 It is an old friend, as I said. Her name is Imoen, and I grew up with her at Candlekeep... and I'll not abandon her to those wizards. |
| 42375 That's not important. Let's go. |
| 42376 Ah, the raven springs off to rescue <PRO_HISHER> lost friend! I know this type of tale well, berk, and this sparrow will be pleased to join you in your quest. Off we go, then! |
| 42377 This sparrow exists but to serve you, my raven. Our travels together should prove interesting, at the very least... |
| 42378 Sewer Key |
| 42379 Sewer Key |
| 42380 Before I go, I was wondering if I might ask a question of you? |
| 42381 You're welcome. I shall take my leave of you now. |
| 42382 Before I go, I was wondering if I might ask a question of you? |
| 42383 You're welcome. I shall take my leave of you now. |
| 42384 Then I wish you well. Safe journeys to you, my friend. |
| 42385 Certainly. Any information I have I would be glad to provide. |
| 42386 I am searching for an old friend of mine who is being held hostage by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know of them? |
| 42387 Do you know anything about a wizard named Irenicus? |
| 42388 Hmm. Perhaps I will just be on my way. |
| 42389 I know only very little about the Cowled Wizards, as does anyone. They are a powerful and secretive group that operates with the approval of the Amnian council. |
| 42390 But that is probably not news to you. If you seek to recover your friend, I doubt they will hand her over gladly. You will need to operate against them. |
| 42391 All I can suggest is that you go to one of the other powerful organizations in Amn. Exactly who that would be, I don't know. |
| 42392 But my suggestion is all the information I can provide. I am sorry if it is nothing you do not already know. |
| 42393 Do you know anything about a wizard named Irenicus? |
| 42394 Then I shall be on my way, thank you. |
| 42395 The name does not sound familiar. Is this one of the Cowled Wizards? I'm sorry, but I cannot help you with this. |
| 42396 I am searching for an old friend of mine who is being held hostage by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know of them? |
| 42397 Then I shall be on my way, thanks. |
| 42398 I was wondering... do you know anything of the Cowled Wizards? I have a friend who is being held by them. |
| 42399 Have you ever heard of a wizard named Irenicus, perhaps? |
| 42400 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 42401 Best of luck to you. |
| 42402 Then you're unlikely to find this friend. The Cowled Wizards don't give anything up, and nobody knows where to find them... except those who can't talk. |
| 42403 But that's unlikely to deter you, aye? I'm sorry... I don't really know anything about them that might help you. |
| 42404 Have you heard of a wizard named Irenicus, perhaps? |
| 42405 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 42406 No. Magic-users aren't to be trusted... I don't know why Mistress Nalia dabbles in those arts myself. |
| 42407 Do you know anything of the Cowled Wizards? I have a friend who is being held by them. |
| 42408 I'll be going, then. |
| 42409 Before I go, I was wondering if I might ask a question of you? |
| 42410 If it is within my power to answer and does not conflict with my faith, I shall strive to provide it to you. What do you wish to ask? |
| 42411 Before I go to Acolyte Byron, I was wondering if I might ask a question of you? |
| 42412 I am searching for a friend named Imoen who is being held by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know anything of them? |
| 42413 Can you tell me anything of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 42414 Nothing, I suppose. I shall take my leave of you. |
| 42415 As you wish. May the Watcher guard you. |
| 42416 Nothing that you do not know already, I suspect. The council outlaws magic, and yet the cowled ones act upon whatever plots they wish. |
| 42417 They must cooperate with the council, but likely provide no information of their activities. We do not associate with these wizards, so I know little of them. |
| 42418 Can you tell me anything of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 42419 I shall be on my way, then. |
| 42420 Helm's followers do not associate with brigands, and we are concerned about the war with another guild the Shadow Thieves seem to have engaged in. |
| 42421 It is troubling that we know nothing of this other group. They are a mystery, though they are obviously competing with the Shadow Thieves. |
| 42422 If Amn is fortunate, they will destroy each other and Helm will not be forced to watch the backs of his helpless faithful. |
| 42423 I am searching for a friend named Imoen who is being held by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know anything of them? |
| 42424 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 42425 May I ask you a question before I go? |
| 42426 Before I go, I was wondering if I might ask you a question? |
| 42427 Very well. I shall take my leave of you, then. |
| 42428 Very well, I shall take my leave of you, then. |
| 42429 Ask, if you must. You have performed well enough that I may well provide you a truthful answer. |
| 42430 I am searching for an old friend who is being held by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know anything of them? |
| 42431 Can you tell me anything of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 42432 Perhaps I will just take my leave now. |
| 42433 Go, then, and be wary of the Storm Lord's wrath. |
| 42434 Pfeh! If your friend is a captive of the cowled ones, there is little point in searching. The wizards have many secrets, and they guard them all jealously. |
| 42435 Chances are you would not find the wizards themselves, never mind a prisoner. Woe to them, however, should they ever cross the Storm Lord! |
| 42436 Can you tell me anything of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla, then? |
| 42437 I shall be on my way. |
| 42438 Talos is pleased with the chaos they bring to this city, as well as anywhere they touch... although it would be far better if they served him directly. |
| 42439 The Shadow Thieves are in difficulty, however; they struggle against a force unknown to us. If the battle escalates, it should prove amusing to watch. |
| 42440 I am searching for an old friend who is being held by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know anything of them? |
| 42441 I shall be on my way, then. |
| 42442 Before I go, may I ask you a question or two? |
| 42443 Before I go, may I ask you a question? |
| 42444 Thank you, I shall take my leave of you now. |
| 42445 I shall take my leave of you now, then. |
| 42446 Of course, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. If I know the answer, I shall certainly provide it to you. |
| 42447 I am searching for a friend named Imoen who is being held by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know anything of them? |
| 42448 Can you tell me anything of the Shadow Thieves here in the city? |
| 42449 Perhaps I will just be on my way. |
| 42450 As you desire. May Lathander light your way, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 42451 Nothing that you do not know of them already, I suspect. The council outlaws magic here, and yet the wizards roam freely and act upon whatever plots they wish. |
| 42452 They act for the council, but they do as they wish. We do not associate with them at all, so I know little else. I grieve if your friend has suffered. |
| 42453 Lathander's faithful do not associate with brigands, but we are pleased that the Shadow Thieves are entangled in a war with another organization in the city. |
| 42454 But it is troubling that we know nothing of this other organization. They are a mystery, even though they are obviously competing with the Shadow Thieves. |
| 42455 If Amn is fortunate, both of these organizations will destroy each other and we shall have some peace here at last. |
| 42456 I am searching for a friend named Imoen who is being held by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know anything of them? |
| 42457 Can you tell me anything of the Shadow Thieves here in the city? |
| 42458 I shall take my leave of you, then. |
| 42459 I shall take my leave of you, then. |
| 42460 I was wondering... is there anything you can tell me about this wizard, Irenicus? Or about the Cowled Wizards who hold Imoen? |
| 42461 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 42462 Heh, you are a tricky one. Didn't Gaelan already tell you that the Shadow Thieves would be perfectly willing to help you out at the correct price? |
| 42465 I cannot confirm anything else about the deal, except to confirm that yes... we can look into the locations of both Irenicus and your friend Imoen. |
| 42466 I shall sing a hymn to the Sun Lord. |
| 42467 Prying such information from the Cowled Wizards will be difficult, hence the cost. That is all I will say. Raise your money for Gaelan. You will not be disappointed. |
| 42468 I shall say a prayer to the Light. |
| 42469 I shall recite the Tenets of Faith. |
| 42470 I was wondering... is there anything you can tell me about this wizard, Irenicus? Or about the Cowled Wizards who hold Imoen? |
| 42471 Thank you... I'll be going, then. |
| 42472 What shall you do second in the Ritual? |
| 42473 I was wondering... is there anything you can tell me about this wizard, Irenicus? Or about the Cowled Wizards who hold Imoen? |
| 42474 Thank you... I'll be going, then. |
| 42475 I was wondering... is there anything you can tell me about this wizard, Irenicus? Or about the Cowled Wizards who hold Imoen? |
| 42476 Thank you... I'll be going, then. |
| 42477 I shall raise my hands to the light. |
| 42478 I shall hold high my children that they might see the Sun. |
| 42479 I shall raise my hands to the Light. |
| 42480 I shall hold high the Holy Book that the Sun might bless it. |
| 42481 How shall the Ritual end? |
| 42482 I shall reflect on the glory of the Light as it conquers the Dark. |
| 42483 I shall rejoice at the dominance of Light. |
| 42484 I shall mourn and weep as the Sun gives way to the Darkness. |
| 42485 That is incorrect! Mock not the Ritual! Ignorance is thy companion! |
| 42486 Child of the Sun, shall you take the test of the Holy Ritual? You must prove your conviction before the Sun Lord shall offer up his Symbol. |
| 42487 I am prepared to be tested. |
| 42488 I am not yet ready to take the test. |
| 42490 I am prepared to take the test. |
| 42492 I am prepared to take the test. |
| 42493 I do not yet wish to be tested. |
| 42494 So be it. The Sun Lord will not yet bless thee until thy faith is known. |
| 42495 It is well. Prove your faith and be blessed. |
| 42496 The Sun is high. Noon is upon us. How shall thee honor the Lord? |
| 42497 I shall lift my voice in joyful prayer. |
| 42498 I shall recite the Tenets of the Faith. |
| 42499 I shall sing a hymn of praise to Amaunator. |
| 42500 How shall you next welcome the zenith of the Sun? |
| 42501 I shall raise my hands to the Light. |
| 42502 I shall hold up my children that they might see the Sun. |
| 42503 I shall lift the holy book that the Sun might bless it. |
| 42504 How shall the Noontide Ritual end? |
| 42505 I shall rejoice at the dominance of Light. |
| 42506 I shall mourn and weep as the Sun passes and Dark again prevails. |
| 42507 I shall reflect on the Glory of the Sun as it conquers the Dark. |
| 42508 You said you could look into Imoen's location for me if I did as you asked, and I have done it. |
| 42509 I have done as you asked and proven myself to you... now, I want to know what you've done with Imoen. |
| 42510 So ends the Morning Ritual. |
| 42511 Very well, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 42512 Return when thy faith is ready to face the final tests. |
| 42513 The Tests have ended. Amaunator in His Glory offers thee this symbol. Use it and its brothers to form the Symbol of Amaunator. That is the ward required to open the door to the Lair of the Dark One. |
| 42514 Yes, I did say that I would look into that, didn't I? Very well. I will tell you what I know, although no doubt you will be displeased by my answer. |
| 42515 Do not get presumptuous with me, <PRO_GIRLBOY>... you do not want to provoke the wrath of the Cowled Wizards. But I have heard a little of what you speak. |
| 42516 The girl... Imoen... was detained with a powerful wizard named Irenicus. He has caused... problems since his capture, striking fear into the heart of my order. |
| 42517 The Cowled Wizards will not release any information until the issue is resolved. Your girl is tied up in this, so in effect I can tell you nothing. |
| 42518 And even had this not occurred, you could not arrange her freedom, fool. She broke the law, and it is final. The Cowled Wizards do not give second chances. |
| 42519 Now... I have told you all I know. Do not bother any of my order further with your ignorant questions, for you shall learn no more than I have given you. |
| 42520 The scourge has been purged? I can tell that the deed is done, for even now the land sighs with relief. This has been a great service to nature, and she shall not forget. |
| 42521 Now will come rebuilding. Faldorn's invulnerability came with great cost, and the land bonded with her will suffer immeasurably. |
| 42522 Verthan will serve as challenge master until the healing is done. His reverence for the land will not allow him to be corrupted if temporarily granted control. |
| 42523 When the scars are healed, he can step aside. A new Great Druid will need to be chosen at some time. More turmoil ahead, but for now we can rest. |
| 42524 What of you, <CHARNAME>? You are likely off to travel? Would you... mind my company? My duty here is done, and I do love to see the land. Shall we join? |
| 42525 A fine pairing, I think. Come, there is much to see. |
| 42526 No, I have no need of you. |
| 42527 Very well, I will remain here and help reorganize. If you wish my company, I will be near the grove. I look forward to our next meeting. |
| 42528 A new season comes and growth is renewed. I am grateful for your indulgence. |
| 42529 Hail, good people, I welcome you to Trademeet. Mind not the worried stares of our citizens while you are here. Strangers are not easily trusted these days. |
| 42530 Perhaps you could tell me something about the Shadow Thieves in the city. |
| 42531 I'm searching for a friend of mine who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you know anything of them? |
| 42532 Well, that's a big subject. I'm sure you already know plenty, right? They have a big influence in the city... too much, maybe... and they run the docks. |
| 42533 There's some trouble too between them and some new group. Rival guild, maybe, although they can't match the Shadow Thieves in sheer size. |
| 42534 Hail! I welcome you to Trademeet. I trust you will not earn the worried stares you have received so far? |
| 42535 But who knows? Maybe one'll destroy the other. One thing's for sure, we're going to look into it and make sure it turns out the way it's s'posed to. |
| 42536 I see. Care to give me a tour of the place? |
| 42537 Hmm. Been with the Harpers long? |
| 42538 I'm searching for a friend of mine who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you know anything of them? |
| 42539 A bit young, aren't you? For this type of work, I mean. |
| 42540 I see. Well, I'll be going then. |
| 42541 Hm. Big organization of wizards with their hands in everything. Not my field, though... Meronia could probably tell you a lot more about them. |
| 42542 I see. Care to give me a tour of the place? |
| 42543 Been with the Harpers long? |
| 42544 Perhaps, then, you could tell me something about the Shadow Thieves in the city. |
| 42545 A bit young, aren't you? For this type of work, I mean. |
| 42546 I see. Well, I'll be going then. |
| 42547 I'm searching for a friend of mine who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you know anything of them? |
| 42548 I'm searching for a friend of mine who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you know anything of them? |
| 42549 Perhaps you could tell me something about the Shadow Thieves in the city. |
| 42550 Perhaps you could tell me something about the Shadow Thieves in the city. |
| 42551 Perhaps finances are not my best skill, but the guard has benefited from my discipline, and I have improved security. There is only so much that can be done, however. |
| 42552 What can you tell me of the Shadow Thieves here in the city? |
| 42553 I'm searching for a friend who has been taken by the Cowled Wizards... do you know anything about this? |
| 42554 The Shadow Thieves will seek to manipulate you to their own ends. They are an organization with no sense of morality with their goals. Stay away from them. |
| 42555 I've noticed that you're wearing a necklace the same as the others here. Is there a purpose to that? |
| 42556 What's so dangerous about the second floor? |
| 42557 Mmm. Is this the person who was abducted at the same time as the wizard, Jon Irenicus? |
| 42558 The very land is against us. Animals attack, and even the foliage strangles. It began subtly, but now we suspect a dark mind behind it. |
| 42559 I'm searching for a friend who has been taken by the Cowled Wizards... do you know anything about this? |
| 42560 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 42561 Yes, her name is Imoen. |
| 42562 Then your friend is likely in grave danger. This man, Irenicus, is extremely powerful... the Cowled Wizards have likely bitten off far more than they can chew by taking him captive. |
| 42563 Our sources say the wizards are terrified of his power. Where your friend... or this Irenicus... might be, however, I do not know. |
| 42564 I've noticed that you're wearing a necklace the same as the others here. Is there a purpose to that? |
| 42565 What's so dangerous about the second floor? |
| 42566 What can you tell me of the Shadow Thieves here in the city? |
| 42567 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 42568 Until recently, we did not know where to place blame, but now the people have found a target. The last group attacked saw several figures directing the chaos. |
| 42569 What can you tell me of the Shadow Thieves here in the city? |
| 42570 What can you tell me of the Shadow Thieves here in the city? |
| 42571 I'm searching for a friend who has been taken by the Cowled Wizards... do you know anything about this? |
| 42572 I'm searching for a friend who has been taken by the Cowled Wizards... do you know anything about this? |
| 42573 A friend of mine has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any information on them? |
| 42574 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42575 Hardly. Tensions have just made people quick to judge. If you had appeared a tenday ago, you would have found your welcome colder still. |
| 42576 The Cowled Wizards? A powerful and influential organization, which is hard to believe with the attitudes that exist in Amn against the use of magic. |
| 42577 Not that people don't use magic. It requires a license from the Cowled Wizards, and they react harshly against those who practice without their permission. |
| 42578 Their vigilance is likely just to eliminate competition, and they keep the location of their prisoners very secret. Wherever your friend is, no one will find them. |
| 42579 But if you were foolish enough to move against the Cowled Wizards, now would be the time. They've snared the proverbial lion, a powerful wizard named Jon Irenicus. |
| 42580 He claims to be investigating the druids himself, and I can tell that he speaks the truth. He remains in custody more for his own protection. |
| 42581 I don't know how much longer I can keep him safe. Many of the merchants have called for a burning and have challenged my attempts to stop them. |
| 42582 Council Member |
| 42583 He's caused them all sorts of problems, I understand, and they've closed ranks, so no one knows anything about their weakness. But it's there, believe me. |
| 42584 Council Member |
| 42585 Could you perhaps tell me a little about the Harpers? |
| 42586 Who are you, and what do you do here? |
| 42587 Nothing less than a public burning will satisfy an angry mob. This druid remains behind bars as much for his own protection as anything else. |
| 42588 What is this place? |
| 42589 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42590 I'll be going now. |
| 42591 The Shadow Thieves are nearly equal to the council, perhaps even sitting as council members. They're under siege, though, by another group we know little about. |
| 42592 Renal the Bloodscalp runs the guilds, but he is not in charge. Aran Linvail is the Shadowmaster of Amn, but you'll never see either unless they want you to. |
| 42593 Ketrick |
| 42594 Ketrick |
| 42595 I am anxious about this new group. It is rumored that it is lead by a woman, but we know nothing of her, not even her name. |
| 42596 Better to know your enemy than not, I say. Others might feel differently... at the very least, we can hope that the Shadow Thieves are weakened by this. |
| 42598 Could you perhaps tell me a little about the Harpers? |
| 42599 Who are you, and what do you do here? |
| 42600 What is this place? |
| 42601 A friend of mine has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any information on them? |
| 42602 I'll be going now. |
| 42603 Jenna |
| 42604 Jenna |
| 42605 A friend of mine has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any information on them? |
| 42606 A friend of mine has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any information on them? |
| 42607 Wynn |
| 42608 A friend of mine has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any information on them? |
| 42609 Wynn |
| 42610 A friend of mine has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any information on them? |
| 42611 A friend of mine has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any information on them? |
| 42612 A friend of mine has been captured by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any information on them? |
| 42613 Meck |
| 42614 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42615 Meck |
| 42616 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42617 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42618 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42619 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42620 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42621 Iltheia |
| 42622 Iltheia |
| 42623 So ends the Noontide Ritual. |
| 42624 Many of our citizens have already made up their minds on the matter, however, and he remains behind bars if only to avoid a public burning. |
| 42625 Bodyguard |
| 42626 Bodyguard |
| 42627 It is dusk, and as the Darkness moves in, the Evening Ritual must be said to ward off evil. What is the first step? |
| 42628 I will recite the Tenets of the Faith. |
| 42629 I will recite the Tenets of the Faith. |
| 42630 I will say a prayer to the Sun. |
| 42631 I will sing a hymn to the Lord. |
| 42632 The shadows grow longer. What must be done second? |
| 42633 I will raise my hands to the light. |
| 42634 I will hold the Holy Tome up to the Sun that it might be blessed. |
| 42635 I will allow you to pass so you can speak with the druid. He may leave under promise of your care. Thank you again. |
| 42636 Turmish Leader |
| 42637 Turmish Leader |
| 42638 I will hold high my children that they might see the Sun. |
| 42639 How shall the Evening Ritual end? |
| 42640 I shall reflect on the glory of Light as it reigns over Darkness. |
| 42641 I shall mourn as I watch the Sun give way to the onslaught of night. |
| 42642 Turmish Thief |
| 42643 I shall rejoice as Light conquers Darkness. |
| 42644 Turmish Thief |
| 42645 A reward? It is not enough to save a fellow being in need? Bah! Very well... you shall have a reward in gold for your efforts and something else as well... |
| 42646 The Evening Ritual is completed. |
| 42647 Turmish Thug |
| 42648 Turmish Thug |
| 42649 Turmish Sorceress |
| 42650 Turmish Sorceress |
| 42651 Shvanana |
| 42652 You know where Irenicus is?! I demand that you tell me now! |
| 42653 Shvanana |
| 42654 Never! I will take the secret with me to the grave! Give me my Monty, and you can have your irritating little thief back, "friend"! |
| 42655 Very well... I will do as you wish. |
| 42656 Just how am I supposed to sneak into this base when Montaron couldn't?! |
| 42657 Forget it... I don't believe you know where he is anyway. |
| 42658 Then to the grave you go! |
| 42659 We thought druids to be behind our troubles, but we have had a few gifts of reparation from them now, and all has been smoothed over. |
| 42660 A question for you... I'm looking for a friend of mine who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know anything about them? |
| 42661 Would you do me a favor? The merchants captured a druid believing him linked to the attacks. I never believed he was guilty, and now it seems our troubles are over. |
| 42662 Hmm, I am not a local here, but even I have heard of the Cowled Wizards. This amounts to little beyond what many know, however. |
| 42663 They are powerful and secretive, and they are the only group permitted to use magic openly, because they police it in the city. |
| 42664 If your friend is their captive, I can only offer condolences. Maybe another powerful group, like the Shadow Thieves or the churches, could tell you more. |
| 42665 A question for you... I'm looking for a friend of mine who has been captured by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know anything about them? |
| 42666 I shall keep an ear out for you, though, and let you know if any information turns up. You never know what a bartender might hear, yes? |
| 42667 He seemed less prone to rash action, though the merchants had little reason to trust me. I arrived not long after an attack, so it must have seemed suspicious. |
| 42668 I should have crept quietly as the vine instead of blustering as the wind. On occasion, I forget the subtleties that allows nature to progress. |
| 42669 You bluster as the coming storm, but you do not show the same signs and cannot fool me. Mercenary you may be, but the merchants have not sent you. |
| 42670 I am Cernd, as I said, sent from the north to investigate why the druid order of this region has severed its ties with the traditional hierarchy. |
| 42671 I know many druids in this region, and they would not support such actions without due cause. I suspect that there has been a change in leadership here. |
| 42672 I have my services as a druid to offer. No doubt the people here will add their gratitude to the reward, though none of them know it yet. |
| 42673 Then you seem to make a career of freeing the imprisoned from their cages, my raven... and so you should, as you do it well. May I inquire as to the identity of this hostage? An old lover? A relative, mayhap? |
| 42674 It is an old friend, as I said. Her name is Imoen, and I grew up with her at Candlekeep... and I'll not abandon her to those wizards. |
| 42675 That's not important. Let's go. |
| 42676 It looks as if a violent struggle has taken place here. Someone was killed and dragged out of the cabin. There are a few footprints in the blood. They appear to be dog or wolf prints. |
| 42677 Ah, the raven springs off to rescue his lost friend! I know this type of tale well, berk, and this sparrow will be pleased to join you in your quest. Off we go, then! |
| 42678 This sparrow exists but to serve you, my raven. Our travels together should prove interesting, at the very least... |
| 42679 Unfortunate. We would be stronger together. Like snowflakes on the bough, if we were many, it might snap it with ease. |
| 42680 The Roenalls have been waiting like vultures over a carcass. I wouldn't be surprised if they have their wagons loaded and ready to move in. |
| 42681 You only make the task more difficult. Perhaps this is best left to druids, but I see no reason why outsiders we disrupt shouldn't be part of the solution. |
| 42682 I find your decision suspect, especially since you are a druid yourself. It is distressing you do not act the part. You would do well to reconsider in time. |
| 42683 Nature rewards her servants well, but she also punishes when she must. What you are is more than a title, your duties more than smelling the occasional rose. |
| 42684 We must go to the druid grove and investigate, though I wish circumstances were better. Every druid goes eventually; some challenge for Great Druid status... |
| 42685 An odd condition to place since you are a druid yourself. If you dislike this so much, I think you will find progressing in your skills to be rather difficult. |
| 42686 My, but she has fire, does she not? She is a fine child of the wood. No, you need not accompany me, but perhaps you can meet me near the grove. |
| 42687 Your intent will not matter if the results are good. I regret involving others, especially if they are not totally willing, but one does what one must. |
| 42688 Very well, though I would have preferred to accompany you. Sometimes nature needs her servants to act as one. |
| 42689 I trust you will do what you can even if you do not walk with me. Perhaps you will fare better than I, though I am sure traveling together would have been better. |
| 42690 Investigate the druids here and learn what you can. I must know how deep the taint flows. Go, and remember that your own party demands success of you. |
| 42691 No? As a druid yourself, you have little choice in the matter. Even if you do not confront these druids on my behalf, you will have to do so at some point. |
| 42692 Beyond a certain level, druids must come to the grove to challenge for title and status. If you do not act now, you may not be able to utilize it later. |
| 42693 I fear Jaheira will not let this matter rest. If you wish to keep her company, you will have to act. Until then, I await here. |
| 42694 Then it is as I feared. Shadow Druid violence is a disgrace to nature, and now that they have a hand in this area, they will not stop their advance. |
| 42695 We must issue a challenge on behalf of the virtuous. Unfortunately, only one attuned with the ways of the druids will be able to face Faldorn. |
| 42696 It is doubtful she will leave the sanctity of the druid grove, and if she has surrounded herself with its protective magics, she will be nearly invulnerable. |
| 42697 That will not be an option. Shadow Druids only accept their own kind; if she hinted at that, it was likely just to lure you into a trap you would not survive. |
| 42698 First, I doubt Jaheira would let you live through that decision. Second, Shadow Druids never accept outsiders. You would be seen as tainted by civilization. |
| 42699 If this Faldorn hinted at such an offer, it was probably only to place you in a more vulnerable position, a trap you would surely have not survived. |
| 42700 It is as though the field has sown itself. I am free of my duties in this regard then, though I have no pressing need to travel to the north once more. |
| 42701 I am not needed at the grove if the danger has passed. Likely they have appointed Verthan to challenge master, and he will perform admirably. |
| 42702 Karenina |
| 42703 Hold! Trademeet is not a safe area for visitors at the moment! Unless you have business, strangers, I suggest you return whence you came! |
| 42704 Wait a minute... what has occurred here? Why have all these animals been slaughtered? |
| 42705 Why? Is there something going on that I should know about? |
| 42706 I do have business... I have been told about these animal attacks and have been asked to help. |
| 42707 I'll travel where I like, and am not about to be stopped by you or anyone. |
| 42708 Very well, I'll be going, then. |
| 42709 We do not fight woodland creatures just to sharpen our skills! I am the Trademeet militia captain, and our town has been besieged for weeks by these creatures. |
| 42710 They come in waves, and we can barely stop them with arms alone. We can't even explain it... it is as if the beasts wish to drive us out of our homes. |
| 42711 No one is safe in Trademeet; many are panicking. They blame the druids, and no druidâ€â€or any outsiderâ€â€is welcome within the town at the moment. |
| 42712 So heed my warning when I say it again. Turn about if you've no business here. This is a dangerous place for you, strangers. |
| 42713 Your ruin continues with the devastation of Garren Windspear in your name. Away goes his child from under your nose, and I wonder who shall bear the blame! |
| 42714 You think we slaughter forest animals merely for sport? Mmm, I guess you could not know. I am the captain of the Trademeet militia. Our town is under siege. |
| 42715 We have been under attack by deadly woodland creatures for weeks. They assault us repeatedly... as if nature herself has turned against us. |
| 42716 Help would be a welcome relief at this point, although I am unsure what you can do to assist us. We fight against a revolt of nature herself in this place. |
| 42717 But if you are serious, go ahead and enter the town. Seek out the home of the High Merchant, Lord Logan Coprith. He can tell you more than I. |
| 42718 But beware, strangers. The townsfolk are suspicious of outsiders. They blame druids for their miseries and see strangers as druid servants and spies. |
| 42719 I myself am reserving judgment on that point... but I will take any help that we can get. I welcome you to Trademeet, for what it's worth. |
| 42720 I'd prefer to go in anyway. I can handle myself. |
| 42721 Perhaps I can be of some help to you in solving this problem. |
| 42722 Very well, I'll be going, then. |
| 42723 With that kind of attitude, you're going to stir up trouble. We've enough problems as it is. Outsiders aren't welcome here, so listen to me and begone. |
| 42724 Why? What kind of trouble are you talking about? |
| 42725 Ahh, you return. I take it that your... hunt was successful? I'm sure it was a fulfilling chase, one that I certainly wish I had seen. |
| 42726 I might be able to help, have you considered that? |
| 42727 Don't tell me what to do. As I said, I go where I like. |
| 42728 Fine, I'm going. |
| 42729 Smart decision. Once this problem has been solved, everyone will be more than welcome back, I'm sure. |
| 42730 You have complied with my conditions, met my challenges, and have proven your ability to me and my cause. What cause is this, you may ask? I shall tell you. |
| 42731 I am a druid myself... I can hardly believe that nature would turn against you without reason! |
| 42732 I am a ranger myself... I can hardly believe that nature would turn against you without reason! |
| 42733 It's not you I'm worried about, <PRO_SIRMAAM>â€â€it's the townsfolk becoming upset at a stranger's presence and doing something they might later regret. |
| 42734 I don't want the trouble. Not now, with all these other problems we can barely deal with. So get back to where you came from, that's all I'm going to say. |
| 42735 I'm not going to be ordered about... if I want to go into town, I will do it with or without your permission. |
| 42736 Perhaps I can be of some help to you. |
| 42737 Very well. I'll go, then. |
| 42738 I'm sure there is a reason... but it isn't anything we've done. Trademeet is a peaceful town where business is conducted fairly... blessed by Waukeen herself! |
| 42739 We've always gotten along just fine with you forest folk... there happens to be a druid grove near here, and there's never been a problem. Until now, that is. |
| 42740 Saying stuff like that in town will cause trouble. We've already arrested one druid just to keep him safe from the crowds... I don't need any more problems. |
| 42741 Well, I intend to look into this for myself... so stand out of my way. |
| 42742 Perhaps I could be of some help to you. |
| 42743 Fine, I will go, then. |
| 42744 Hmmm... you might cause more harm, but I won't turn you away. You look like adventurers... just the kind of folk we need right now, if you mean what you say. |
| 42745 Yes, I mean it. I'll help if I'm able. |
| 42746 I'll help if there's sufficient reward in it for me. |
| 42747 No, I doubt I have the time, really, to help you out. |
| 42748 No... you won't. My resources may be limited by these attacks, but I won't let a group of bandits enter my town unopposed. Back off and turn about, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 42749 Greater people than you have tried and failed to do the same thing. |
| 42750 I have been your entertainment for long enough! Fulfill our deal! |
| 42751 You were capable of the battle and the chase. Are we through with games now? |
| 42752 I have done as you asked. Is there anything else you wish? |
| 42753 Tell me about these attacks of yours. |
| 42754 Perhaps I could help... have you thought of that? |
| 42755 No need to raise your hackles... I'll go. |
| 42756 I don't know what kind of reward the mayor is offering, but that's a possibility. The town would be grateful to be rid of this menace, that much I know. |
| 42757 Then be on your way, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, and don't come to Trademeet until we've got this whole thing sorted out. |
| 42758 My duty is still to stop you, brigand. Put up your weapons, then, and let's get this over with. |
| 42759 Greetings again, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. The town is still under siege by the forest beasts, so I trust you'll keep a low profile. One wrong move here could be your last. |
| 42760 The disruption of the Shadow Thieves was the pulling of a splinter, more a happy side effect to your evaluation for service. Certainly useful, but not the true calling of either of us. |
| 42761 Greetings, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. The High Merchant tells me you've agreed to help us. I wish you luck... anything that brings relief to Trademeet is welcomed by me. |
| 42762 Ah, it is you! You must have solved our problem with the animals, since they've suddenly stopped attacking! It is good to know that heroes still exist. |
| 42763 You seek Imoen, your lost comrade. I am prepared to give you her location and the means with which to reach her. |
| 42764 You have done much for us, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. You've made my job much easier and restored peace to the town... I hope you always feel welcome here. |
| 42765 There be more than a few problems here in Trademeet, my friend. Best you be wary not to make yourself overly known, if you take my meaning. |
| 42766 You're not from here, are you? You'd best be careful, then, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. We've already arrested one druid for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm sure you don't want to be the next one, aye? |
| 42767 Get on with it then! |
| 42768 I thank you for this. |
| 42769 There is a caveat, however. When you find Irenicus, he is to be mine as well. His death is not to come until we have both been satisfied. |
| 42770 I used to hunt some of the forest animals when I was younger. I... I wonder if that's why they're attacking us. Getting revenge and the like. |
| 42771 You mentioned some of this long ago. What do you know of this fiend? |
| 42772 He will not survive the meeting when I find him! He is dead once I know what he knows! |
| 42773 I know much and will share it. You do not know the full picture of the man, and I cannot blame you for your cautiousness. |
| 42774 So it was them druids all along... and we'd always gotten along just fine with their grove. I wonder if that sort of thing can happen again? |
| 42775 I understand your anger, but you do not know the full measure of the situation. Allow me to expand upon what has happened. |
| 42776 At least now we soldiers can finally relax and get some rest, thanks to you. Do you know what it was like to beat back enraged bears and such at all hours of the night? |
| 42777 It is true that Irenicus was your captor, and indeed, your stay in his care was not the most comfortable, but there were circumstances that you are not aware of. |
| 42778 Now if only someone could take them Dao and run them out of town, everything in Trademeet would be restored to normal. Heh... an' maybe Waukeen herself would come back too. |
| 42779 Irenicus requested a service of the Shadow Thieves, for which they demanded your capture as payment. You are of great interest to them, as you probably know. |
| 42780 I know, <CHARNAME>, that you are a child of Bhaal. Bhaal, among other things, was Lord of Murder. Irenicus has a fascination with death, so you were of interest. |
| 42781 Ahh, Trademeet is back to the bustling town it's supposed to be. I suppose you're the one to thank, aye? |
| 42782 I am the first to say that I do not endorse the experiments that were done, but you should know there was a reason to them. |
| 42783 It's always good to talk to a true hero... Trademeet will always be thankful for everything you've done for us. Have you ever thought about joining the militia? |
| 42784 Yes, yes, enough history. What were the reasons then? |
| 42785 Reasons be damned! He tortured me and Imoen. Why? |
| 42786 So he tracked me and did what he wished. Why torture my companions? |
| 42787 Hmph. Those genies were doing nothing but causing problems. It's good to see that they've been dealt with at last. I don't think we could have done it ourselves. |
| 42788 I will get to that in a moment. While you were in Jon's... "care," he discovered the potential you have and resolved to aid your development. |
| 42789 Be careful, citizen... Trademeet is a place where fair trade has been ordered by Waukeen herself. We don't tolerate cheating here. |
| 42790 Fairness in trade is enforced here, with magic to detect lying if necessary. I suppose that's why the other trade towns get more business than we do. |
| 42791 You mistook the unfortunate effects of his experiments for torture. More might have been revealed to you, but he had a... confrontation with the Shadow Thieves. |
| 42792 I am a member of the militia here... but I am also a magic-user. Mostly, my magic is used to enforce fair play amongst the merchants, a practice set for us by Waukeen. |
| 42793 Best watch yourselfâ€â€thievery and fraud are not permitted in this town, and you'll get away with neither. |
| 42794 Trademeet is a peaceful town... we haven't even had the Sythillisian Empire to worry about yet. And yet we are attacked by wild animals... it is almost beyond belief! |
| 42795 I understand a Shadow Druid was responsible for our problems. *sigh* Between such as her and the wizards of the Twisted Rune, magic-users are given a poor name in Amn. |
| 42796 Of course, you saw the outcome of that battle, with your own Imoen spirited away. You seek her, and I seek Irenicus. Both of us could benefit by his return, and hers. |
| 42797 Those genies were powerful... there was little we could do to stop their monopoly while the town was under siege. We are thankful for all your help, truly. |
| 42798 What exactly are you asking me to do? Hand him over to you? |
| 42799 I will do what I must to get Imoen, but I make no promise for the safety of this Irenicus. |
| 42800 What do you mean, both of us? What do you want out of this? |
| 42801 I doubt very much you would put serious effort into his safe return to me. No, that is not what I truly seek. |
| 42802 I require several things, but please, allow me to clarify. I know full well that your efforts to retrieve Irenicus would not be gentle. |
| 42803 Irenicus is the only remnant of family that I have. We have survived through different means, but he is, for all intents and purposes, my brother. |
| 42804 Ya know... I used t' be a ranger meself. Mm-hmm. And I know why it is that all these animals are turnin' on us, I do. |
| 42805 That said, he has certain things that I want. I cannot access much of his knowledge while he is incarcerated. I would have him released, and pliable to my will. |
| 42806 And why would that be? |
| 42807 You don't know what you're talking about. |
| 42808 Excuse me, I've got to go. |
| 42809 It's... it's the gods! They've turned on us all! We've done wrong here in Trademeet! We're supposed t' be fair an' all. Waukeen herself commanded it... |
| 42810 Oh? |
| 42811 But now Waukeen's gone, an' everyone thinks that means they can go ahead an' cheat you. Nothin' here but cheats, thieves, and liars now, yep. |
| 42812 I seek his return so I might use his knowledge. His condition will be irrelevant, and what I learn from him will benefit you as well. This is what I can offer. |
| 42813 And which would you be? |
| 42814 Hanj |
| 42815 What does that have to do with you being a ranger? |
| 42816 It doesn't seem so bad here. |
| 42817 But I do! I do! Listen to me... it won't stop with the animals. Soon, the floods will come... an' the storms! Trademeet will be washed away, you'll see. |
| 42818 So why is all this going to happen, do you think? |
| 42819 Okay. Whatever. |
| 42820 Ahhh, ye're just going t' be washed away with the rest o' this blasted town. Just you watch. Hmph. |
| 42821 Nothin'. Jus' wanted you t' know that I was a good person... before I fell an' all. But I was cheated! Right here, which is worse. But it's all ending now! |
| 42822 You don't know what you're talking about. |
| 42823 I don't think it's so bad here, despite what you say. |
| 42824 It won't end if I have anything to say about it. |
| 42825 Ending like your story, that is. I'll be going now. |
| 42826 But it is... Trademeet's thick with thieves now! Genies 'ave come an' stopped all th' trade, takin' it for themselves. Druids killin' us... it's mighty bad. |
| 42827 Well, I'll put a stop to all of that. |
| 42828 Ooookay, I'll just be going, then. |
| 42829 Hmph. You can't stop th' gods. Trademeet's goin' to the Abyss in a handbasket, an' that's all I gots t' say. |
| 42830 Hmph. Okay, so all th' animals have stopped attackin' us, but it's still jus' forestallin' the inevitable. We're still doomed. An' I gots proof, I do. |
| 42831 So you would betray your "brother" even as you rescue him? He deserves worse. |
| 42832 Perhaps I can help you, just so long as this does not interfere with my own goals. |
| 42833 Pitch |
| 42834 What was the nature of the fight with the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42835 It is possible they even suspected my relationship to him. I have become quite the thorn in their sides. |
| 42836 And what proof would that be? |
| 42837 Oh, never mind. I'll be going. |
| 42838 That I cannot tell. Likely they wished to observe or interrogate. Either way, they wished you alive. That has probably changed with your recent actions, however. |
| 42839 Needs proof, do you? Them genies... they're infernal creatures, runnin' the show here. Takin' all the trade for themselves, and for what? I knows what for. |
| 42840 They're jus' waitin' for the big genie to come an' kill us all. The gods are angry. If not the genies, it'll be them Sythillisian ogres. One or the other. |
| 42841 You're jus' like all th' others. The gods're going t' kill you too, as a blasphemer. An' then they're gonna kill me. Hmph. |
| 42842 You ask too much of me. I have already paid a large amount of gold for your help. |
| 42843 I ask much, that is true, but this will benefit us both. You give him to me, and I give you what he has learned about you. Think of your potential. Think of Imoen. |
| 42844 What genies are you talking about? |
| 42845 Sythillisian ogres? |
| 42846 You don't know what you're talking about. |
| 42847 You don't know about th' genies holdin' all o' Trademeet hostage? They owns everythin'... gold, supplies, food. An' they won't give none of it up. |
| 42848 You must have been close to Irenicus before. Why did you not use him then? |
| 42849 He is powerful, as you saw. I doubt I could have "convinced" him to reveal secrets while he was at full strength. Now he is weakened by rage and combat. |
| 42850 An' what can we do 'bout it? Even if we weren't bein' attacked by th' animals, you can't fight that magic. Waukeen has abandoned us. We're doomed, doomed! |
| 42851 Just outside o' Riatavin... thousands of monsters, all under a bunch o' ogres. Taken over half of Amn. Just let 'em all in to deal with the genies, I says. |
| 42852 Waukeen protected Trademeet once, but now she's all gone. Gone, gone. An' the gods are mad at us, that's what. |
| 42853 Perhaps he does, and perhaps he will get it. What happens is entirely dependent on your willingness to help. Do it for Imoen, and yourself. |
| 42854 It will not interfere. You will reach Irenicus and Imoen with ease, for they are both in the same place: a horrible place designed to hold the strong-willed. |
| 42855 Well... I've spoken with the, er... with Madulf. They just want to live in peace, and in exchange, we'll have someone to protect us. |
| 42856 Perhaps I can help you, just so long as this does not interfere with my own goals. |
| 42857 Quivering Palm |
| 42858 What was the nature of the fight with the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42859 You ask too much of me. I have already paid a large amount of gold for your help. |
| 42860 You must have been close to Irenicus before. Why did you not use him then? |
| 42861 And the... the merchants are looking forward to it, too. Madulf wants to come to town to purchase, ah, supplies and things. That should be quite a sight! |
| 42862 But... thank you, <CHARNAME>. I wouldn't have thought of... negotiating... with those creatures. This will be better for Imnesvale all around. |
| 42863 Perhaps I can help you, just so long as this does not interfere with my own goals. |
| 42864 So you would betray your "brother" even as you rescue him? He deserves worse. |
| 42865 Stunning Blow |
| 42866 What was the nature of the fight with the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42867 You ask too much of me. I have already paid a large amount of gold for your help. |
| 42868 Perhaps I can help you, just so long as this does not interfere with my own goals. |
| 42869 So you would betray your "brother" even as you rescue him? He deserves worse. |
| 42870 Barbarian Rage |
| 42871 What was the nature of the fight with the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42872 You must have been close to Irenicus before. Why did you not use him then? |
| 42873 Perhaps I can help you, just so long as this does not interfere with my own goals. |
| 42874 So you would betray your "brother" even as you rescue him? He deserves worse. |
| 42875 What was the nature of the fight with the Shadow Thieves? |
| 42876 You ask too much of me. I have already paid a large amount of gold for your help. |
| 42877 You must have been close to Irenicus before. Why did you not use him then? |
| 42878 Yes, I have. Has Minister Lloyd not arrived yet? |
| 42879 Huh? Human lord is-a coming? No, no coming yet. But Madulf is pleased that youse did what you say. Madulf thanks youse. |
| 42880 Perhaps I can help you, just so long as this does not interfere with my own goals. |
| 42881 So you would betray your "brother" even as you rescue him? He deserves worse. |
| 42882 Doomed |
| 42883 You ask too much of me. I have already paid a large amount of gold for your help. |
| 42884 You must have been close to Irenicus before. Why did you not use him then? |
| 42885 The Cowled Wizards took them to the one place that mages in Athkatla truly fear, a place where power is stripped and examined, where minds are laid open for study. |
| 42886 Things are all right in Trademeet. I knew it... I tried t' tell everyone, but they never listens t' me. |
| 42887 It... it's a sign! A sign! Waukeen is coming back, she is! An' she's goin' t' drive out every last one o' you cheats! |
| 42888 You! You're the ones that have been behind all o' the town's troubles! I knew you were nothing but trouble th' first time I laid eyes on you! |
| 42889 I'm told you're a hero. Hmph. You don't look like a bleedin' hero. |
| 42890 We're still doomed. I just knows it, I do. |
| 42891 The polite bureaucrat calls it a "residence for the magically deviant," but mages just call it "Spellhold." It is an asylum where people are sent to disappear. |
| 42892 Then it is a simple matter of retrieving Imoen from this place. |
| 42893 What sort of place is this that no one knows of it? |
| 42894 I shall storm its walls and break down its gates. |
| 42895 If it were as simple as walking to the gates and demanding entrance, it would have been done a dozen times over for the sake of other inmates. |
| 42896 Spellhold is an asylum, a place designed to hold mages and other... talented people. Even in this magically repressive society, it would be considered cruel. |
| 42897 The island it is located on is under its own rule, and even the Cowled Wizards are not certain what becomes of those sent there. |
| 42898 It is considered a necessary evil, and like so many other evils, no one really wanted to deal with it once it began. |
| 42899 I have used your gold to secure passage to the isle. You will have to contend with the asylum itself, and with the pirates that run the isle. |
| 42900 You will not be coming? I am certain I could use the help. |
| 42901 Then I will set sail this instant. Ready the ship, and I shall be on my way. |
| 42902 Then I will go as soon as I have restocked my supplies. Have the ship wait. |
| 42903 I will be going, though I do not enjoy... the movement of the water. Once we are there, I will ascertain what my involvement should be. |
| 42904 Then I will set sail this instant. Ready the ship and I shall be on my way. |
| 42905 Then I will go as soon as I have restocked my supplies. Have the ship wait. |
| 42906 Return quickly to me. The longer you wait, the more lost Imoen shall become. A stay in Spellhold is not a gentle one. |
| 42907 The ship awaits your arrival. A safe journey to you, <CHARNAME>. May you find what we both seek. |
| 42908 I trust you will waste no more time here? The ship awaits. Imoen awaits. Irenicus awaits. |
| 42909 I am not ready to go yet. |
| 42910 Yes, have the ship ready its sails. I am ready to go. |
| 42911 So, you've returned. My advance spies said that you confronted Bodhi in her lair. It must have been a bloody affair. |
| 42912 Hanj |
| 42913 At least, that is what the wisdom of the courts decided. |
| 42914 At least, that is what the wisdom of the courts decided. |
| 42915 Anyway, it is with great honor that I welcome our graduates to the... er... stage. Morul, Larz, Nara, you are mages today. |
| 42916 I just want to thank <CHARNAME> for helping guide us. Without <PRO_HIMHER>, we would have not had this opportunity. |
| 42917 Duh. We'd be dead. |
| 42918 Oh, shush. <CHARNAME>, we certainly appreciate this. |
| 42919 Yes, I can see how you would. Well, now you take a step into the real world, a world where you are actually restricted from using the skills you have studied. |
| 42920 But under the benevolent yoke of the Cowled Wizards, you will be somewhat protected from arrest. Go forth into that brave new world, quietly and carefully. |
| 42921 The graduating class of 1369 DR, we salute you. |
| 42922 Thank you again, <CHARNAME>. We wouldn't have had a chance without you. |
| 42923 Yeah, thanks, I guess. I owe you one. |
| 42924 Can I... use you for a reference? Sorry, sorry, just thinking ahead. Thanks, <CHARNAME>. |
| 42925 Hehe, oh those wacky kids. Celebrations all around! |
| 42926 Regardless, it is a happy day for at least some of the class. Let's let them have their say on this fine day, shall we? |
| 42927 Let's welcome the honorary valedictorian, by virtue of him being the only surviving member. Morul, have you a few words for your mentor? |
| 42928 Morul, have you a few words for your mentor? |
| 42929 Very well. <CHARNAME>, thank you for not getting me killed as well. Is that good enough? Can I go now? |
| 42930 Oooh, that burns. Anyway, that's it for our ceremonies. Morul, you can now look forward to a long career under the benevolent yoke of the Cowled Wizards. |
| 42931 Go softly and quietly into the real world, and I'm sure you will be mostly safe from arrest and persecution. |
| 42932 Happy day. Happy, happy day. Is it over yet? |
| 42933 Graduating class of 1369 DR, we salute you. |
| 42934 Uh, sure. Thank you, <CHARNAME>, for not getting me killed as well. |
| 42935 Oooh, that burns. |
| 42936 Ahh, stow it, fat man. This is no time to be celebrating. |
| 42937 Well... that would conclude our ceremony. You are officially mages and are about to begin your lives under the benevolent yoke of the Cowled Wizards. |
| 42938 I really don't feel like celebrating today. Could we just go? |
| 42939 Well, I guess we will have to make the best of it. Not an ideal solution by any means. |
| 42940 Regardless, I have some news of your friend Imoen. I said I would tell you what I could, and since you have performed well, I think I owe you that much. |
| 42941 She and the others involved in the disturbance were taken into custody, that much you know. They proved too unruly for simple incarceration. |
| 42942 They are no longer in the city. I could get nothing further from my superiors, and I expect that asking for more would yield a harsh response. |
| 42943 I can tell you no more, and likely will not deal with you again. I have but one word for you, and do not ask me its meaning. |
| 42944 "Spellhold." I know you have other means for finding your friend, and I suggest you exploit them. The Cowled Wizards are no longer in control of the situation. |
| 42945 I think this shall be your last task for the Cowled Wizards. You are becoming more well known here and will be a risk for us if we continue. |
| 42946 Enjoy the sphere for now. I am sure you will use it responsibly, if it still functions at all. Good luck, <CHARNAME>, I wish you well. |
| 42947 Hold, traveler. What is your business here in Athkatla? |
| 42948 I am a simple merchant. I deal in spices and silks. |
| 42949 Spices? Is that a fact? Stand and deliver whilst I search you. |
| 42950 Now really, there is no cause for that. |
| 42951 I think there is. Here then, is this some of your spices? |
| 42952 Why yes, yes, they are... though if you were to think them suspect... would a few gold and a sample turn your eye? |
| 42953 A few gold you say? Hmm... I don't know... |
| 42954 I think you will find my spices well worth it. It is especially difficult to acquire lotus petals of such a dark hue. Almost... black. |
| 42955 You've a deal. On your way then. |
| 42956 Thank you very much, good sir. |
| 42957 Hail, traveler, be advised that you are at the edge of the limits of Athkatla's guard. Within the city, you abide by laws that protect you and that do not extend outside. |
| 42958 What should I be wary of if traveling outside the city? |
| 42959 Am I in complete safety within the city walls? |
| 42960 The gem that sits on the pedestal easily penetrates the unnatural shadows of this place. You could take the gem if you wish to. |
| 42961 There are many dangers, though if you are alert, you should be quite safe. Wild beasts are always a concern. |
| 42962 There may also be the occasional raiding party of bandits, or a wayward troop of scum from the Sythillisian Empire. There is a major skirmish happening with them, but it is far to the south and will not reach us. |
| 42963 Within the bounds of the law, yes, you are. Athkatla is a safe city, kept clear of major assaults and magical deviants. |
| 42964 Is there anything else you wish? I must return to my post. |
| 42965 Nothing. Thank you. |
| 42966 Might I ask what you are doing with "black lotus"? I couldn't help but overhear. |
| 42967 Mind your own business, fool. Move along. |
| 42968 Keep the gate clear. Move along. |
| 42969 Get away, you! I won't pay! |
| 42970 You'll pay, you will, or yous get a face full of fist. That's pretty clear, isn't it? |
| 42971 Bully all you want, but I don't have time for it. Leave... leave me be. |
| 42972 I ain't letting you go anywhere. You pay up, or I starts to smashing. |
| 42973 The guards won't care. They'll still lock you up. These people here might even kill you for it. |
| 42974 You'll do nothing of the sort! Leave that merchant be! |
| 42975 Well, this should be fun to watch. |
| 42976 Fight! Kill him! |
| 42977 Huh? Who are you? Get lost; this don't matter to you none. |
| 42978 I say that it does. Leave that merchant alone, or I shall be forced to harm you. |
| 42979 I'm not doing a thing. It's amusing, so I'm going to watch. |
| 42980 It matters if you do it wrong. Go on, kill him. Hurry up about it! |
| 42981 What? You don't need to go threatening me. I wasn't gonna hurt him. I was just threatening. |
| 42982 What? No, I didn't mean... I'm leaving. I don't want no trouble. |
| 42983 Get lost, you gullywart. |
| 42984 What? Well, okay, but you stay back. Don't want to fight you too. |
| 42985 That's it? You're not going to help? What kind of people are you?! |
| 42986 They's the kind that don't mind me threatening you. Now hands over your gold. |
| 42987 All right, all right! Here's your damned gold. I hope you choke on it. Now leave me be. |
| 42988 Sorry, the gamblin' tables aren't running today. If you want anything to drink, then just head downstairs and talk to the bartender. |
| 42989 Heh, today is a good day. |
| 42990 What? But I didn't wanna... I don't mean to... |
| 42991 So you're all bluff and no bite, eh? Get outta here before I tie your toes in a knot! |
| 42992 Today ain't a good day at all, no sir. |
| 42993 I knew that fool was all bluster and no muster, but thanks for your help all the same. |
| 42994 Here, maybe I can offer you something cheaper than my normal fees. I don't do this for just anyone, mind you. |
| 42995 It was. I destroyed many of her followers, but she herself eluded me. |
| 42996 It was, though I am more interested in what she had to say. |
| 42997 You still keep secrets! Bodhi said it was you that attacked Irenicus in the first place! |
| 42998 The slaughtering of thieves serves her purpose? What is the point of it? |
| 42999 Yes, yes, I know. No need to overdo it. |
| 43000 I follow because it suits me. You may stumble blindly, but I will question if I want. |
| 43001 The mistress will not appreciate such an attitude, though she has given you more slack than I would have already. Watch your step, <CHARNAME>. |
| 43002 That is not for you to ask. Your questions are impudent, and the mistress will not appreciate them. Already she has given you more slack than I would have. Step carefully, <CHARNAME>. |
| 43003 What are you talking about? Why were you fighting these people? |
| 43004 Are you threatening me? I will not fall as easily as those you have already killed. |
| 43005 Such things are not for you to know... yet. When the time comes, you will know much, and if the mistress bids it, you may also live. |
| 43006 I know that well enough. The mistress is counting on it. Go, and forget what you have seen. This was not for you yet. |
| 43007 Can we not discuss this? I do not need to be your enemy. |
| 43008 I know you not, but you are the enemy of those that would help me! |
| 43009 Come and get it, night-sucker! You'll see the sunrise today, I think! |
| 43010 That is no longer true. Choices have been made. You are one side, we are another! |
| 43011 You have chosen the weaker allies. You will all fall in the end! |
| 43012 That is of no consequence. That her guild was destroyed is what truly matters. We should see a decline in the disappearance of our members now. |
| 43013 I see. And what was it she said? I trust you are aware of the deceptive nature of her kind? |
| 43014 No more so than you! Why did you attack Irenicus? His capture deprived me of my revenge! |
| 43015 That is why I am asking gently. Why did you attack Irenicus? It was that fight that took Imoen from me. |
| 43016 A Note from Mazzy Fentan |
| 43017 When you take the gem from the pedestal, the illumination lessens considerably and the shadows of the room deepen. |
| 43018 There is nothing else on the pedestal. |

| 43021 You have done well, and for that I am grateful. We had a deal, and I am certain you are eager to see it fulfilled. |
| 43022 Such a tone will not help anyone in this matter. You have proven reliable, and I am quite willing to explain what happened. |

| 43029 The lessons are completed. One key has been given. All three keys shall thee need to form the Symbol of Amaunator and pass into the Darkness. The Dark Altar and Shade Lord must be destroyed. Such is the will of Amaunator. |
| 43030 First must come an admission of sorts, and I certainly hope you can see beyond it. We should not dwell on the old when the new is so threatening. |
| 43031 It was the Shadow Thieves that attacked Irenicus in Waukeen's Promenade. We have followed you ever since then. |
| 43032 I am sorry I have not been fully honest, but we had to be sure you were not working for him. I assure you that we are still on the same side. |
| 43033 Your map has many notes and locations marked on it. If you ever get lost, using it is a sure way to get back on course. |
| 43034 You were in league with him? No, he was fighting hooded figures. |
| 43035 Bastards. That attack ruined everything. I was free to find him! |
| 43036 Make sure to use your Quick Weapon and Quick Spell slots. These slots will make you more efficient when in combat. |

Its keen blade, for instance, will shear through your opponent's flesh to find the bone while its barbed tip will seek out gaps in their armor.

| 43054 Bodhi is in league with Irenicus and indeed may even be a relation. It was at his order that she sought to fool our members into accepting her guild. |
| 43055 He must be found, and that is best facilitated by helping you find Imoen. They were taken to the same place, you see. |
| 43056 The Cowled Wizards took them to the one place mages in Athkatla truly fear, a place where their power is stripped and examined, their minds laid open for study. |
| 43057 I have heard it called a "residence for the magically deviant," but mages just call it "Spellhold." It is an asylum where people are sent to disappear. |
| 43058 Then it is a simple matter of retrieving Imoen from this place. |
| 43059 What sort of place is this that no one knows of it? |
| 43060 I shall storm its walls and break down its gates. |
| 43061 You must realize that it is not as simple as launching an assault. Spellhold is a fortress asylum, designed to hold mages and other... talented people. |
| 43062 The island it is located on is under its own rule, and even the Cowled Wizards are not certain what becomes of those sent there. |
| 43063 No one wanted to be associated with it once it began. It is difficult enough just to book passage. That is what your gold was for. |
| 43064 Once on the island, you will be on your own to contend with the asylum defenses and with the pirates that run the place. Return with Imoen as you wish. Kill Irenicus if you can. |
| 43065 Jalin Tix |
| 43066 If Irenicus is in the asylum, isn't he no longer a danger? |
| 43067 I am ready to go then. No more time can be wasted. Let's set sail. |
| 43068 I will go very soon then. Just wait a moment for me to restock my supplies. |
| 43069 No trouble out of you. |
| 43072 The seas are sure rough this time o' year. |
| 43073 Nothin' like some time ashore... all I needs is some grog an' a good lass on me lap. |
| 43074 We are not sure. Spies within the Cowled Wizards tell us that they have not had direct contact with the isle for some time. |
| 43075 It is truly a place where the troublesome are forgotten. The incident with Irenicus was to be ignored lest people demand more sanctions against mages. |
| 43076 I am ready to go then. No more time can be wasted. Let's set sail. |
| 43077 I will go very soon then. Just wait a moment for me to restock my supplies. |
| 43078 Jalin Tix |
| 43079 Return to me as soon as possible. The captain of the ship may take a different job if left to wait. He is not exactly thrilled to be going to the isle. |
| 43080 Excellent! The ship awaits. Good luck to you... I hope we all find what we are looking for. |
| 43081 Have you properly supplied yourself for the trip, <CHARNAME>? We must get you on your way as soon as possible. |
| 43082 Just a while longer. |
| 43083 I am ready to go now. |
| 43084 Hello there, friend. Sorry if I disturbed your chain of thought, but you looked new to the city, and I wondered if I might lend you a hand? |
| 43085 I look new? How do you mean? |
| 43086 What do you mean by "help"? What advice do you think you can give? |
| 43087 Get lost. I can take care of myself. |
| 43088 I didn't mean anything bad by that. You just don't have the look of one of the locals. Shows in the way you wear your tunic, or maybe how you stand. |
| 43089 Just thought I'd offer a friendly word or two before you experienced otherwise. This place can treat newcomers quite rude sometimes. |
| 43090 Ahh, a welcoming committee of one. Very well, what words of advice do you have? |
| 43091 Leave me alone. I'll find my own way around. |
| 43092 All right, I'll leave if you want. Just thought I'd welcome a stranger to the city. You take care, and watch out for shadows and the guilds that fight them. |
| 43093 Oh, not much. I don't claim to be an authority or anything. Just like meeting new people. I say one thing though, I don't go out much at night. |
| 43094 We've got this thieves' guild, see? They ain't so bad, but there's another guild that's fighting them. I've seen people get caught in the middle, and it isn't pretty. |
| 43095 Mostly only happens at night though, and the city is so much more impressive during the day anyway. |
| 43096 There, you've told me. Feel better? Get lost now. |
| 43097 Thanks for the word of warning. Anything else? |
| 43098 Nope. Have a good stay in Athkatla. Safe travels, friend. |
| 43099 I tell you it's only going to get worse! |
| 43100 And you can't tell who they are by looking at them. This one here was in my tavern just last night. |
| 43101 Hush up, you. He was a man like any other. Just because he was in with that Shadow Thief crowd doesn't mean you should refuse to serve him. |
| 43102 Got his own trouble anyway, without you helping. Have to refuse half the city if you bar Shadow Thieves. Probably end up dead, too. |
| 43103 They don't scare me. Look at this bunch. Dead as they can get, and their black little hoods didn't help them one bit. |
| 43104 What killed them was a lot more than you could handle. Look... look at the marks on them. |
| 43105 If this is a guild war like they say, it's just going to get worse. |
| 43106 Yeah, yeah, you said that already. Maybe... maybe I should close up shop for a few tendays. I could use a break. |
| 43107 You close up when someone spills salt or forgets to knock on wood, you old worrywart. Business as usual for me. |
| 43108 We'll see. Guild wars just mean trouble. Lots of trouble. |
| 43109 At ease, soldier! I'll not have you running around accosting people on my watch! |
| 43110 Halt! Drop your weapons and keep your hands and fingers where I can see them! |
| 43111 Are you sure that's some of them? Don't look like them. |
| 43112 I ain't taking any chances. You saw what happened to the commander. Look at the way they are equipped. It could be them. |
| 43113 Sir! He was just making sure they were not a threat. |
| 43114 These people are not who we are looking for, I am certain. We'll cause panic if we accuse everyone. You! Have you seen anything suspicious or unnatural lately? |
| 43115 What do you mean? I'm not sure what you are looking for. |
| 43116 I don't have to answer your questions. Stop harassing me. |
| 43117 Other than your two friends here? No. |
| 43118 Not to my knowledge. Trouble in the city? Perhaps I could help. |
| 43119 There have been reports of fighting in the streets at night. Something to do with the supposed Shadow Thief guild and a rival. |
| 43120 If you do see something, just keep your distance. I've already had uninvolved people go missing, and I don't need any more. |
| 43121 Keep out of the streets at night, citizens. All the decent folk are asleep at those hours anyway. |
| 43122 You are not under investigation at the moment, so there is no cause for an attitude. It is a simple question, and I would appreciate an answer. |
| 43123 I'm not sure what you mean. What are you looking for? |
| 43124 Take a walk, cap'n. I've nothing to say. |
| 43125 You'll not egg me into a fight, fool; I've more important things than you to worry about. I'll not have you distract me from a bloody guild war. |
| 43126 Pretty pretty walks the night, pretty pretty fears the light. Pretty pretty has no soul. Pretty pretty black as coal. |
| 43127 Get away from me, jester. I've no time for merriment. |
| 43128 A fine verse, foole. Is it part of a larger work? |
| 43129 I'm sorry, but I've little appreciation for street theater. |
| 43130 Step in shadow, left a husk, killed in moments after dusk. Step in shadow, you are prey, pray you live to see the day. |
| 43131 Sleep the street and see the dark, death becomes a lyric lark. Walk in Shadow as the guild, see the war that leaves them killed. |
| 43132 Very good, now leave me be. I'm in no mood for such nonsense! |
| 43133 Um, did you want something? Are you telling me this for a reason? |
| 43134 You should take this to the theater district. They would be a better audience. |
| 43135 See the flow from wound and neck! Was that your friend? Well, best you check! Members gone and guild will fail! Best you fight the tooth and nail! |
| 43136 That's enough! Get away from me, you freak! |
| 43137 What? What are you saying? Is this a riddle or something? |
| 43138 Uh, are you quite all right? You seem... unstable. |
| 43139 Run you can't, the war will find! To haunt your dreams and haunt your mind! Watch your friends and watch the death! Watch their eyes and hold your breath! |
| 43140 A man has warned me about some sort of "guild war" that has made it very dangerous to be out and about at night. |
| 43141 Join or die! You cannot flee! Watch the death... in front of me... in front of... me... |
| 43142 Run you can't! The war will find! Run you can't! The war will find! AHHHHHhahahahah!! |
| 43143 Beware the streets at night, my children. There are strange things taking from the coffers of your lives. Best invest in the day to be certain of many returns. |
| 43144 Are you trying to warn people? Of what? |
| 43145 No one seems to be paying you any mind, sir. Perhaps if you spoke clearer? |
| 43146 Get away from me. I am not interested in your pamphlet prophecies. |
| 43147 Of the darkness that threatens the trade of day, as the takers of coin face bloodletters foul. Walk not the streets beyond the last call of day. |
| 43148 Welcome. You have come as I wanted. It has been an interesting game, but to tell the truth... I tire of it. |
| 43149 Monster! Why have you done this to me? Why try to ruin my reputation? |
| 43150 So here I am. Why have you done this? Why have you forced this confrontation? |
| 43151 As do I. I do not even know the reason for it! |
| 43152 For my amusement, for my curiosity, and for my memory of transgressions long since pastâ€â€all of this spurred me on, but *sigh* I grow bored with you. |
| 43153 Very well, an in-depth response. *sigh* Your fathers are my interest. Your lineage crosses the mortal and spiritual, and both concern me somewhat. |
| 43154 What are you speaking of? Explain! |
| 43155 This tells me nothing. You meander around the truth like a cat taunting a mouse. |
| 43156 Gorion raised you. I know this from my spies and followers. They are subtle when I wish it. Gorion was as much your father as anyone. |
| 43157 He was also an adventurer in his day and crossed my path long ago. Him and his Harper friends. I bear the scars of that meeting. |
| 43158 He is beyond my revenge, being dead as he is, so I settled for the next best thing. I can torment his spirit by destroying you. *chuckle* Wherever he is, he is *seething*. |
| 43159 That cannot be the whole of it. Such an old debt must seem hollow. |
| 43160 All of this over a grudge with a dead man? Are you mad? |
| 43161 I had toyed with forgetting the transgression, though it has not been that long in dragon terms. It was your other father that made me curious, however. |
| 43162 You are a child of Bhaal. What an interesting subject to study, or so I thought. Really, you are not so different, despite your little personal struggles. |
| 43163 For now, you bore me. I will taunt you no more. This has been such sport that I bear you no ill will. You may go. |
| 43164 Oh no, this is not over! You owe me! |
| 43165 I cannot leave without Garren's child. You know this. |
| 43166 That is it? A dismissal? I fear I cannot let it end so peacefully. |
| 43167 Well then, I will take this opportunity to leave and not bother you further. |
| 43168 Do I now? And what is it that I owe you? An explanation? You have had one. A promise of absolution? You have that as well. |
| 43169 You cannot? That would be unfortunate. Certainly you would not survive any such confrontation. It would be a pity to lose your life here. |
| 43170 Perhaps your demands are better sated with the rescue of Garren's child. Yes, perhaps that would better suit your needs. |
| 43171 The child has proven no more interesting than its father. I had finished taunting him some years ago really. It was only your arrival that brought him into this. |
| 43172 Here, rescue the child from my servant and feel fulfilled. Do not think it will be easy. I test my subjects thus all the time, and they know that failure is death. |
| 43173 I think he is actually happier now that the burden of leadership has been lifted. Such resilience took all the fun out of his downfall. All that is left for me to do is kill him and take the deed to the land. |
| 43174 Conster! Go to the child! If <CHARNAME> fails to take it from you, kill it. |
| 43175 His suffering has never ended. You took his lands. |
| 43176 Then I regret coming. I did not wish to compound his worries. |
| 43177 I will save the child and return for you in the future, Firkraag. I swear it. |
| 43178 I thank you for this act of charity, disguised though it is. |
| 43179 I'll rescue Garren's child after I kill you, monster! |
| 43180 Do I know this? Do I really? Oh, very well. The brat was but a byproduct of my scrutiny of you anyway. |
| 43181 Oh, and before you go, do rescue that blasted brat of Garren's. It was only a byproduct of my scrutiny of you anyway. |
| 43182 Karenina |
| 43183 What will be interesting is your conflict with Jon Irenicus. That is something I would very much like to see. So I leave you your life. Do with it what you will. |
| 43184 What do you know of Irenicus?! |
| 43185 I suppose you are league with that sadist, aren't you? It would not surprise me. |
| 43186 I will have no dealings with that creature. I am merely interested in YOUR confrontation with him. Yes, that will be something to see. |
| 43187 Do as you must; it does not interest me until the "future" becomes "now." If you wish to make a confrontation inevitable, you know where I lie in wait. |
| 43188 Now walk away and see to your little rescue efforts. Take your time. Enjoy life. You have much to face. |
| 43189 Do not think me soft because of this. I am capable of far more than you can imagine. Of course, you are destined to experience worse. |
| 43190 I again give you the chance to rescind your decision. I have expressed no desire to confront you and have gone so far as to give you reason to leave. |
| 43191 Do you still demand a battle? You shall have one, if you wish, but you will not win. Do not be foolish, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. |
| 43192 I will leave for now, but I will return. |
| 43193 I will fight you, and I shall win. I can do no other. |
| 43194 It is, as they say, your funeral. Now I am afraid that you must feel the wrath of the most ancient of Faerûn's species. Do you think your divine blood enough to match? I highly doubt it. |
| 43195 You return? Oh, WHY do you insist on bothering me? Oh, you would think that the children of the gods would have something better to do... |
| 43196 This barrier is made from magical shadows. It can be neither picked nor opened. You shall have to find some way to dispel it. |
| 43197 I have returned, as I said I would. Your menace must end! |
| 43198 Sorry to have bothered you. I'll be going. |
| 43199 A wise move. You will live to be a nice, cowardly old <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 43200 It has been a pleasure adventuring with you. Well met, and farewell. |
| 43201 Goodnight, ladies; ladies, goodnight. |
| 43202 Alas, we must part ways. Until next time then. |
| 43203 I regret that I must leave the party. It has been a joy to serve in your company. |
| 43204 Fine, cast me aside just because my player took a hike. Nice, real nice. Probably stripped me naked too. |
| 43205 Fare thee well, <CHARNAME>. It has been an honor serving in your company. |
| 43206 You'll miss me when I'm gone. You know that, don't you? |
| 43207 Fine, you just leave me here. I'll find someone else to do some serious gaming with. Wouldn't that just cheese you right off if I finished the game for you, eh? |
| 43208 I wish you safe travels. Hopefully, you can prevail against the odds set before you. |
| 43209 Is this the end for me? I suppose it was inevitable. Very well. No tears, no regrets. Now get outta here, ya big lug. |
| 43210 I wish it were within my power to offer you a reward more suitable than this, but Trademeet has another problem we have not been able to solve, exactly. |
| 43211 I wish I could offer a more substantial reward... but you understand our situation with the Dao genies. The guildmistress said you would look into the problem. |
| 43212 Normally, we would have addressed this situation, but between the vanishing of Waukeen and the druid problems, we couldn't do anything. Now it is too late. |
| 43213 If you could indeed help us with these genies, I am sure all of the merchants of Trademeet would be extraordinarily grateful. |
| 43214 You see, Trademeet was once favored by the goddess of trade, Waukeen. We were a place of fairness, where one would not fear for his life or possessions. |
| 43215 And it was so, I assure you. Waukeen herself has disappeared; we have no patron goddess, and things have, ah, deteriorated. Thieves have come... and worse. |
| 43216 A group of Dao genies from Calimshan arrived while we were enmeshed in the druid business. They and their gold were welcome enough at first... |
| 43217 But in only weeks, they have taken all business and put a stop to it. They are hunting a rakshasa named Ihtafeer and insist that she is present in the town. |
| 43218 The genies will allow no trade to occur until Ihtafeer is found and her head given to them. Why... why they have chosen this particular tactic, I am unsure. |
| 43219 Without proper trade, however, the merchants are penniless. Soon, the food resources will dry up as well, so something must be done... and done soon. |
| 43220 I didn't think that you could deal with the druids so easily; perhaps... perhaps you might be able to look into this for us, as well? |
| 43221 I will do what I can to help. |
| 43222 What kind of reward might I be looking at for this? |
| 43223 This is a mass of living shadow. You may not pass through it. |
| 43224 No, I'm not interested in doing anything else right now. |
| 43225 You are too kind, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Guildmistress Busya in the next room can tell you more about what needs to be done. |
| 43226 I have little to offer, but Guildmistress Busya of the Merchant Guild may offer more. She knows what must be done and can offer a reward, I am sure. |
| 43227 All right, then. I will help, if I can. |
| 43228 I have no time to help you. |
| 43229 That is too bad. If you change your mind, please seek Guildmistress Busya just outside my office. She will be most interested in hiring someone, I am sure. |
| 43230 Greetings, <CHARNAME>. I trust all is going well? I wish I had more time to speak, but the genie problem is taking all of my attention. |
| 43231 I have decided to help you, if I can. |
| 43232 Tell me what the problem is again? |
| 43233 Very well... I'll leave you to it, then. |
| 43234 The problem? Well... it is a bit of a long story, of course, but if you wish it told again, I have nothing against it. |
| 43235 Thank you. I shall speak with you another time. |
| 43236 Ah, you have returned! Have you dealt with the genies yet, <CHARNAME>? |
| 43237 I have agreed to find this Ihtafeer for the Dao and return her head to them. |
| 43238 Yes, I have. I found this Ihtafeer they were looking for and brought her head to them. They have decided to leave now. |
| 43239 Yes. It was difficult, but I have destroyed all of the Dao genies. |
| 43240 No, I haven't yet. |
| 43241 Ah, is that so? I was unaware the genies could be reasoned with. Well, I hope you find this rakshasa soon, <CHARNAME>; food stores are getting low. |
| 43242 Excellent news! What a wonder you are... you have come into our town and delivered us from what I had thought to be insurmountable problems! |
| 43243 I trust the guildmistress showered you with rewards... and if not, she should! I, for one, think it is high time to give you the hero's welcome you deserve! |
| 43244 Then I pray that you do so quickly. Trademeet is as lost as if it were swallowed whole by that Shadow Druid's plot if these genies are not stopped. |
| 43245 You are a stranger to this town, are you not? I am surprised you were allowed to come within the walls. You will find yourself unwelcome here. |
| 43246 And indeed... if you came to Trademeet to take advantage of our excellent markets, then you have come in vain. Between the druids and... other problems... there is nothing to purchase here. |
| 43247 What other problems are you referring to? |
| 43248 Nothing to purchase? You mean people won't sell to me? |
| 43249 I see. I'll be on my way. |
| 43250 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 43251 It is nothing you need concern yourself with, stranger. It is enough to say that our town is in danger of collapsing... there is nothing here for you to purchase. |
| 43252 Nothing to purchase? You mean people won't sell to me? |
| 43253 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 43254 I see. I'll be on my way. |
| 43255 No, I mean there is nothing for you to buy. At least, not from the merchants and peddlers that have traditionally sold things here in Trademeet. |
| 43256 If you are... truly desperate... you can go to the Dao djinn that have set up their tents outside of the main gates. Hmph. Their prices are exorbitant, but they own everything there is to sell. |
| 43257 The caravans will not come because of the danger... and the few that have come only do so at the behest of the vast amounts of gold that the Dao seem to have flowing from their pockets. |
| 43258 What other problems were you referring to? |
| 43259 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 43260 I see. I'll be on my way. |
| 43261 My name is Busya, and I am the mistress of the Merchant Guild in Trademeet. Once, we promoted fair and honest trade here, but of late my title is rather meaningless. |
| 43262 What other problems were you referring to? |
| 43263 When you said there was nothing to purchase here, did you mean because people won't sell to a stranger? |
| 43264 I'll be on my way. |
| 43265 Is there nothing you can do about these Dao? |
| 43266 Hmph. Until these animal attacks are stopped, there is no point. If you are truly serious about helping, come and talk to me once that business is ended. |
| 43267 What other problems were you referring to? |
| 43268 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 43269 I'll be on my way. |
| 43270 As you wish, stranger. |
| 43271 I speak the words of the spirit, in the form that I must. If it does not prove plain enough, the listener must examine their faith. |
| 43272 In addition, you solved our problem with the djinn and restored prosperity to the merchants of my town, a problem I thought to be nearly insurmountable! |
| 43273 Ah! You are the stranger who I am told has solved a rather thorny problem for us, whether you are aware of it or not. |
| 43274 Those Dao djinn you dispatched came here recently from Calimshan, in the pursuit of a rakshasa, I am told. They decided to set up shop here and proceeded to take over all business. |
| 43275 They bribed all the caravans to go to them only... ruining any of our other merchants. Nothing could be done, especially with all these animal attacks keeping Lord Coprith busy. |
| 43276 But you have solved this problem for me, and I am most thankful. Now, if only the druids could be dispatched so easily, Trademeet could return to the prosperity it once knew! Regardless, you are due a reward. |
| 43277 Good day to you, hero. |
| 43278 Please! I must speak to your leader. |
| 43279 Ah! You are the hero who has saved us from the druids, yes? Already, things have begun to be restored to normal once again in our town, and you have helped us in yet another way, whether you knew it or not. |
| 43280 Ah! It is the hero who has saved us from the druids. I give you my thanks... our town is in less trouble now than it was, and perhaps proper trade will soon be restored. |
| 43281 There is yet one problem that plagues us, however, and Lord Coprith has informed me that you have agreed to help us with it. Nothing would relieve me more. |
| 43282 There is yet one problem that plagues us, however, and that is the matter of the Dao djinn who have usurped trade in the entire town. |
| 43283 They arrived recently from Calimshanâ€â€in search of a criminal rakshasa, they said. But then they decided to stay, and bribed all the caravans who come to Trademeet to supply only them. |
| 43284 Their prices are exorbitant, and we cannot match their endless supply of gold to buy supplies of our own. They demand this rakshasa be turned over to them, but we have no idea where it might be found! |
| 43285 Our merchants have nothing to sell, and even the supply of food is dwindling... I beg of you to assist us! We are saved from the druids only to be strangled by the djinn if you do not! |
| 43286 What exactly do you expect me to do? |
| 43287 What kind of reward am I looking at for this? |
| 43288 I have freed up Sir Logan's men; why does he just not deal with them himself? |
| 43289 I am sorry, I have no time to help you. |
| 43290 The Dao stay in their tents just outside of the town entrance... I ask that you go there and convince them to leave. Either find their rakshasa or... or destroy them, I suppose, as dastardly as that might sound. |
| 43291 In return, I offer you a reward of gold, as well as an item of some power that the guild has in its stores. No doubt the djinn also have plenty of wealth of their own as well. |
| 43292 We don't desire trouble with such powerful beings, but we cannot last without supplies any longer. Their demands are unfair. Please... do what you can, I beg of you. |
| 43293 We do not know where their rakshasa is, nor can we continue much longer without proper supply. Either you must convince them to leave somehow, or... or destroy them, I suppose, as dastardly as that might sound. |
| 43294 I do not wish trouble with them, but their demands are unfair. *sigh* If Waukeen were still with us, she would never have allowed this to happen here in Trademeet! |
| 43295 What kind of reward am I looking at for this? |
| 43296 I have freed up Sir Logan's men; why does he just not deal with them himself? |
| 43297 Very well, I will see what I can do. |
| 43298 No, I do not have the time to do this. |
| 43299 I still have gold and magical items in the guild's possession, which I will offer as a reward... and I am sure the djinn themselves possess wealth in abundance, should you wish to take it from them. |
| 43300 What exactly do you expect me to do? |
| 43301 I have freed up Sir Logan's men; why does he just not deal with them himself? |
| 43302 Very well, I will see what I can do. |
| 43303 No, I do not have the time to do this. |
| 43304 The number of men under Sir Logan's command has dwindled from the animal attacks. The djinn are also quite powerful... But... if you could defeat the druids... surely you could do this? |
| 43305 What exactly do you expect me to do? |
| 43306 What kind of reward am I looking at for this? |
| 43307 Very well, I will see what I can do. |
| 43308 No, I do not have the time to do this. |
| 43309 *sigh* Well, if that is what you decide, I can do little about it. Come back and speak to me if you change your mind. |
| 43310 I am relieved to hear you say that. The Dao have their tents just outside of the entrance to town... Go, please, and do what you can. |
| 43311 You are back! Have you changed your mind regarding the Dao? We are in desperate need, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... |
| 43312 What is it, exactly, that you wish me to do? |
| 43313 What kind of reward am I looking at? |
| 43314 Why do Lord Logan's men not handle this? They no longer have to deal with the animal attacks. |
| 43315 Very well... I'll help, if I can. |
| 43316 No, I still cannot help you. |
| 43317 Then why do you speak to me? Is it your wish to torment me? Begone! |
| 43318 Lord Logan has told me that you've agreed to aid us with the Dao... I cannot tell you how relieved I am to hear this. You have saved us from the druids... you are my only hope with this. |
| 43319 I have taken care of the problem for you... I have destroyed all of the genies. |
| 43320 I have taken care of the problem for you... I have convinced the genies to leave. They will bother you no further. |
| 43321 I have actually spoken to the genies and agreed to find their rakshasa for them. If I do, they have agreed to leave. |
| 43322 So, have the djinn been dealt with? Have you been successful? |
| 43323 I have destroyed all of the djinn... they will bother you no further. |
| 43324 I found the rakshasa that the Dao were looking for, and they have agreed to leave. |
| 43325 Not quite yet. I have agreed to look for the rakshasa that the Dao wish to find... in return, they will leave. |
| 43326 No, I haven't yet. But I intend to. |
| 43327 No... and I have decided that I don't have the time to continue this. |
| 43328 No, I haven't... and I don't have the time to do this anymore. |
| 43329 Hmm, that is disappointing, but I am sure you have your reasons. I shall try another way to deal with them. If you change your mind, come and see me again. |
| 43330 Ah, so it is done. I would have hoped it could have been done peacefully... there is no telling whether more of their kind will come now... but what is important is that their monopoly has been ended. |
| 43331 You have the sincere thanks of Trademeet's merchants and, I am sure, all of its citizens. Here is the reward that I promised you. |
| 43332 You should go and find Lord Logan, I think, and tell him of your deed. No doubt he will be overjoyed to hear of it... You have earned a hero's welcome here in Trademeet, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 43333 I myself have much to do at the moment. The caravans must be contacted and brought in immediately to give us the supplies we need. Thank you once again. |
| 43334 Ah, so it is done. And you have found the peaceful solution as well... that means we do not have to fear a visit by more of their kind. Your good reputation is well deserved, I think. |
| 43335 That is excellent. A peaceful way to make these creatures leave would be preferable. Please find this rakshasa, then, as quickly as you can. |
| 43336 Very good. Please do so quickly, for we are all depending on you. |
| 43337 You don't? Ah, that is too bad. I wish... I wish there were someone else we could turn to. If you change your mind, please do come and speak to me. |
| 43338 No... and I have decided that I don't have the time to continue this. |
| 43339 Then... then you should go and speak to Lord Logan, I think, and tell him that this is what you have decided. I beg you to reconsider, however... there is nothing we can do about these Dao without your aid! |
| 43340 Hmph. I dinna recognize ye... ye be a stranger here, I think, aye? Then ye're either daft t' come to a town reviled by nature or ye're an accomplice, one o' the two! |
| 43341 Either way, I've nae the goods to sell ye. I be a peddler without wares, thanks to the damnable djinn that have set themselves up outside the city gates. |
| 43342 If it be a sale ye're lookin' for, go an' speak t' them. Otherwise, begone from me sight. |
| 43343 Wait... I dinna know ye. Where did ye be comin' from? Ye're in league with th' bleedin' druids, aren't ye?! A spy! Get away, ye blasted spy, 'fore I call the militia t' have ye arrested! Away! |
| 43344 Hmph. The guildmistress does be tellin' me that ye're th' folk responsible fer closin' down them blasted djinn. I still think ye're in league with th' druids, but I can make an exception this once. |
| 43345 Bah! I care not that ye killed them bloody djinn! Ye're in league with th' druids, I say! Ye're what's sicced 'em beasties on us, I say! Away from my cart, you scoundrel! |
| 43346 Hmm. Ye've done a fine thing, right as rain, helpin' us with them druids. T' think we might've killed 'em all, when it were only the one. Tch. |
| 43347 I'd be glad to open me peddlin' cart for ye and sell you what I can, but there be nothin' on the shelf an' then some. All the caravans comin' in are goin' to them blasted djinn outside the gate. |
| 43348 Either you pay their prices or ye has nothin', that's the way it be. Mayhap ye'll speak to Guildmistress Busya if ye wants to do somethin' about that. |
| 43349 Ah! If it aren't the heroes o' the town, come to take advantage of me peddlin', no doubt. I be more'n pleased to sell ye what I can, now that me cart be full once again. A tip o' me hat to ye, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 43350 That said, I don't suppose there is much harm in stating plainly that walking the streets at night are a danger. |
| 43351 Greetings, patron. Not local, eh? Be careful around here... people won't be pleased to see you, what with the animal attacks and all. |
| 43352 Tell me about these animal attacks. |
| 43353 Why wouldn't people be happy? I thought this was a trading town? |
| 43354 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43355 I'll be on my way. |
| 43356 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43357 You don't know about the attacks? I assumed the militia would have told you... ah, no matter. Indeed, Trademeet has been under attack for weeks. |
| 43358 Hungry wolves, we thought at first. A bear wandering too close to town. My brother-in-law was nearly mauled by a jaguar while traveling through the woods. |
| 43359 But it started to happen more and more. Animals came in packs, and even the plants writhed and grabbed at us. Awful, it is. There is a dark force at work here. |
| 43360 Most blame the druids of the local grove, but I don't know. We've always gotten along fine with them before. But they haven't come to deny the charge either. |
| 43361 In fact, a druid was seen during an attack, controlling the animals... or so they say. They arrested him, sure enough. The entire town's expecting a hanging. |
| 43362 They arrested a druid? Where would he be? |
| 43363 Why would people be frightened of me, then, if they suspect the druid grove of all this? |
| 43364 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43365 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43366 I'll be going, then. |
| 43367 People aren't sure of who's behind all this evil. They suspect the druid grove, but they see spies and dark magic everywhere. I'm just saying be careful. |
| 43368 Tell me about these animal attacks, then. |
| 43369 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43370 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43371 I'll be on my way. |
| 43372 Sorry... since those Dao genies arrived, none of the merchants have been able to get supplies. And Trademeet's almost out of food! |
| 43373 Genies? Why would you have no supplies because of them? |
| 43374 Tell me about these animal attacks. |
| 43375 Why would people here be unhappy to see me? I thought this was a trading town? |
| 43376 I'll be going, then. |
| 43377 Certainly. I understand that you're the reason I have anything on my shelves at all, so you're more than welcome to buy as you please. |
| 43378 All right, then. Be careful on the streets, <SIRMAAM>... you never know when those creatures will attack next. |
| 43379 We don't keep many prisoners here, but the ones we have are usually kept in the High Merchant's manor... until they're sent to Athkatla, that is. |
| 43380 The High Merchant? |
| 43381 Why would people be frightened of me, then, if they suspect the druid grove of all this? |
| 43382 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43383 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43384 I'll be on my way. |
| 43385 They've bribed all the caravans to go only to them. They're in those tents outside of the town, if you want to buy something... but the prices are outlandish. |
| 43386 They're not interested in real commerce. As I understand it, they want something from the High Merchant. They're holding the town ransom until they get it. |
| 43387 I don't know much about them, really. Guildmistress Busya knows far more, and she's hopping mad about them, too. Talk to her if you're curious, I suppose. |
| 43388 Tell me about these animal attacks. |
| 43389 Why would people here be unhappy to see me? I thought this was a trading town? |
| 43390 I'll be going, then. |
| 43391 Yup. That would be Lord Logan Coprith, brother to the Lady of Riatavin herself. He is the mayor of Trademeet and a good man, so I hear. |
| 43392 Rune of Imprisonment |
| 43393 Why would people be frightened of me, then, if they suspect the druid grove of all this? |
| 43394 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43395 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 43396 I'll be on my way. |
| 43397 I have no desire for suspicious strangers to be seen near me. That's all I need... an angry crowd gathering here. Away with youâ€â€I will sell you nothing! |
| 43398 Greetings! A hero of our town in my very own shop! I am pleased to see you and offer you my own personal thanks for what you've done for us. |
| 43399 Could I see your services, please? |
| 43400 Could I see your services, please? |
| 43401 I'll be on my way. |
| 43402 You certainly may! Now that we've the caravans coming into town once again, Trademeet is once again an appropriate name for our town, heh. |
| 43403 William "Bill" Williamson |
| 43404 William "Bill" Williamson |
| 43405 Hm. I'd like to help you, seeing as how you saved us from the druids, and all... but I'm afraid I can't. I literally have nothing to sell you. |
| 43406 The genies from Calimshan that set up their tents outside the town gate... they're getting all the supplies from outside of town. Bribed them, I would suppose. |
| 43407 I hear they made a demand of the mayor, and they'll keep hold of our trade until the demand is met. You can go buy from them, but their prices are outlandish. |
| 43408 I don't know much else about them, other than that Guildmistress Busya wants them gone. I'd go speak to her, if you're curious about it. |
| 43409 Fare you well, then. |
| 43410 Greetings to you, wayfarer! I am Khan Zahraa of Calimshan, a Dao djinn, at your service! |
| 43411 Dao djinn? |
| 43412 What would Calishite genies be doing here in Trademeet? |
| 43413 I have been sent by Lord Coprith to persuade you to leave. |
| 43414 I have been sent by the town's merchants to persuade you to leave. |
| 43415 What do you know about these animal attacks on the town? |
| 43416 Well, I'll be going. |
| 43417 The clans of djinn are beyond the ken of most mortals, this I understand. It is a complicated thing, wayfarer. Suffice it to say that I am a djinni of the family Dao, yes? |
| 43418 What would Calishite genies be doing here in Trademeet? |
| 43419 I have been sent by Lord Coprith to persuade you to leave. |
| 43420 I have been sent by the town's merchants to persuade you to leave. |
| 43421 What do you know about these animal attacks on the town? |
| 43422 Well, I'll be going. |
| 43423 Yes, this does beg a question, mortal, does it not? The Dao would not normally choose to make such a place our home, even temporarily, indeed. |
| 43424 Suffice it to say that we have come on a service, hunting a criminal of some repute from Calimshan... a rakshasa by the name of Ihtafeer. |
| 43425 Rakshasa, if you have never encountered them, are devious shapeshifters and thieves. We have followed this particular prey for quite some months now, and she has eluded us at every turn. |
| 43426 We have grown tired of this chase. We know that Ihtafeer lies hiding in this area in mortal form, and so the Dao have taken over the trade of this town. |
| 43427 We Dao buy all that comes here, you see, and charge prices too high for the mortals to afford... and we will not relinquish it until the mortals find this rakshasa for us. |
| 43428 Eventually, they shall run out of their food and such, and they will become desperate enough to do it. Or not. Regardless, the hunt is less taxing and far more amusing this way, don't you agree? |
| 43429 Explosion |
| 43430 You have monopolized the trade of this town? No, I don't think that's amusing at all! |
| 43431 No, I don't. I have been sent by Lord Coprith to persuade you to stop. |
| 43432 No, I don't. I have been sent by the merchants of Trademeet to persuade you to stop. |
| 43433 Sounds like you're having fun. |
| 43434 What would you say if I found this rakshasa for you? |
| 43435 Ah! At last the mortals have sent an emissary, then. Truly they are of limited intelligence to have waited this long. No doubt they quaver in fear of our power, and rightly so! |
| 43436 But if you have come to plead and persuade, mortal, then your breaths are wasted. The Dao do not intend to leave until we have what we came for. |
| 43437 Then I shall have to destroy you! |
| 43438 And what would that be, exactly? |
| 43439 Yes, I have heard... the rakshasa. What would you say if I found this creature for you? |
| 43440 Nothing at all. We do not concern ourselves with the affairs of these mortals overmuch. They are being attacked by beasts, are they? Most amusing! |
| 43441 What did you mean when you called yourself a "Dao"? |
| 43442 What are genies doing here in Trademeet, anyway? |
| 43443 I have been sent by Lord Coprith to persuade you to leave. |
| 43444 I have been sent by the town's merchants to persuade you to leave. |
| 43445 Well, I'll be going. |
| 43446 Good day to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 43447 If that is what you wish, wayfarer, may you have pleasant diversions in your travels. |
| 43448 Can I take a look at your goods for sale, then? |
| 43449 That is a very precocious statement, for a mortal. What do you intend to do about it, then, little one? How do you intend to dissuade us from this activity? |
| 43450 By destroying you! |
| 43451 What would you say if I found this rakshasa for you? |
| 43452 Er... nothing at all. |
| 43453 Indeed we are! The Dao grew tired of chasing this little rakshasa... one does not always have to do things the difficult way, after all. |
| 43454 Still... you've monopolized the trade in this town, and I don't like it. |
| 43455 I have been sent here to persuade you to stop, no matter how much fun you're having. |
| 43456 I would like to see what you have for sale. |
| 43457 What would you say if I found this rakshasa for you? |
| 43458 Aha! This wayfarer is a potential customer! While you may find our prices high, little mortal, you will not find a better selection in this town, that is certain! Ha ha! |
| 43459 Hmmm. I would say, mortal, that I wish the head of this rakshasa returned to me... and once that was done, despite the amusements we have found here, the Dao would return to Calimshan. |
| 43460 Do you have any idea where this rakshasa might be? |
| 43461 Most excellent! Dao djinn, we have sport attending us today! |
| 43462 Ha ha ha! Most bold of you, little mortal, most bold! We are fortunate that you choose to visit us in our tent today, for we have not had our fill of amusement just yet! |
| 43463 Truly amusing you are, wayfarer. As a payment for our laughter, we award you this ring as a token of our appreciation! |
| 43464 But off you go, funny mortal. I am sure you have other things to divert your attention than us mere extraplanar merchants. Ho ho! |
| 43465 If we knew where she was, we would go and collect her, yes? As a shapechanger, I am sure she hides in the form of yet another tiresome mortal. It is a tactic her kind use often. |
| 43466 It is doubtful that she and her companions actually reside in the town itself. The appetites and predilections of the rakshasa would not keep her hidden among you for very long. |
| 43467 But we are sure she is somewhere in the area. Perhaps hidden and preying secretly upon you mortals, as the rakshasa do. But who knows, really? She could be anywhere. |
| 43468 Why, little mortal? Do you intend to bring Ihtafeer's head to us and end our stay in this dreary little place? We would look forward to a mortal finally ending this business. |
| 43469 Very well. I will attempt to find this rakshasa and bring her head back to you. |
| 43470 Might there be a reward involved? |
| 43471 Very well. I will attempt to find this rakshasa and bring her head back to you... if that means you will leave Trademeet. |
| 43472 No, I don't think so. |
| 43473 Ah, this is a good thing! The Dao wish you well on your hunt, then, and await eagerly the sight of Ihtafeer's head! |
| 43474 It is agreed! The Dao wish you well on your hunt, then, and await eagerly the sight of Ihtafeer's head! |
| 43475 Oho! You are a demanding little mortal, aren't you? But of course... we Dao have plenty of treasures we could offer you should you do this for us. So, then, what do you say? |
| 43476 Very well. I will attempt to find this rakshasa and bring her head back to you. |
| 43477 Very well. I will attempt to find this rakshasa and bring her head back to you... if that means you will leave Trademeet. |
| 43478 No, I don't think so. |
| 43479 Ah, this is saddening. You are the most promising mortal to perform this task, however... I will bide my time for your attitude to change on this matter. |
| 43480 Ah! It is one of our wayfarers once again. Tell me, what can the Dao do for you this time, my friend? |
| 43481 If such is your wish, then you shall have it. I bid you safe business. |
| 43482 This seems quite like common sense to me. Is there more to it than the obvious? |
| 43483 Blood of a Silver Dragon |
| 43484 Your advice is common sense. Leave me to walk as I see fit. |
| 43485 Why do you call yourselves "Dao"? |
| 43486 I would like to know what you're doing here in Trademeet. |
| 43487 It would seem to be a war between dark and darker, one that I am hesitant to say who should win. I know little more than this. |
| 43488 I have been sent by Lord Coprith to persuade you to leave. |
| 43489 I have been sent by the merchants of Trademeet to persuade you to leave. |
| 43490 What do you know about these animal attacks on the town? |
| 43491 I would like to see what you have to sell. |
| 43492 Nothing. I'll be going. |
| 43493 I am not of much help, but if a single person quickens their step because of my word of warning, then I have done well. Safe travels, friend. |
| 43494 All right, I've listened, and I can make no sense of it. Leave me to my travels. |
| 43495 Sounds more like dogma than a coherent warning. Speak plain your concerns. |
| 43496 Oh? One of our intrepid mortal adventurers approaches the Dao once again. Have you changed your mind, mortal? Will you seek Ihtafeer's head for us? |
| 43497 This is to be your transport, and I trust you will try to get along with the crew. That may prove... difficult from time to time, but your effort would be appreciated. |
| 43498 No, I would just like to see what you have to sell. |
| 43499 No... I have come here to destroy you instead! |
| 43500 I would like to know if there is a reward first. |
| 43501 Yes. I will attempt to find the rakshasa and return her head to you. |
| 43502 Yes. I will attempt to find the rakshasa and return her head to you... if that means you will leave Trademeet. |
| 43503 No. I'll just be on my way. |
| 43504 Mmm... you return to the Dao, mortal, and yet I do not sense the head of the rakshasa Ihtafeer in your possession. Have you perhaps changed your mind? |
| 43505 No, I haven't... I just want to see your services. |
| 43506 No, actually. I found and killed Ihtafeerâ€â€I just don't have her head with me. |
| 43507 Yes, I have. I've decided to destroy you instead! |
| 43508 Yes, actually. I don't have the time to do this for you. |
| 43509 No, I haven't. I'll be going now. |
| 43510 Ah, of course! Our goods are always available to an intrepid mortal adventurer! |
| 43511 Hmm... this is promising news, mortal. Promising indeed. But if you wish your reward, you must bring the head of the rakshasa to us. We shall await its delivery! |
| 43512 Wondrous! Find the dreaded rakshasa, mortal... bring us her head, and the Dao shall be pleased! |
| 43513 Ahhh... I sense that you possess the head of our little Ihtafeer with you as agreed! Astounding, even for a mortal! |
| 43514 Here, then, is a scimitar that you may find useful. It has been mine own for some time, but I am sure I shall find another. Use it well, wayfarer! |
| 43515 As for you, my little Ihtafeer, you have been a very naughty creature eluding us as you have! What a brave mortal to bring you to us! |
| 43516 Come, then, my Dao... we return to Calimshan and fulfill our service! |
| 43517 Come, then, my Dao... we return to Calimshan and fulfill our service! And you, mortal, may tell your patrons that their town is free of our little terror, yes? We shall not return. |
| 43518 Hmm. I see you have the head of our quarry with you... the head of the rakshasa, Ihtafeer! Whether you knew this or not, mortal, this is our entire reason for being in this dreary place! |
| 43519 How wondrous that you have brought this to us on a silver platter, as it were! I shall relieve you of it now and replace it with something that shall serve you better, I think! |
| 43520 Ha ha! You are a strange one, mortal! You are... <MALEFEMALE>, are you not? I have not seen many of your kind. |
| 43521 If you have business with us, mortal, you must speak to our khan... oh, yes, I am sure he will be more than willing to deal with you! |
| 43522 Would you do a little dance for me, mortal? I do so love to watch your forms writhe! It does so remind me of the jann of home! |
| 43523 Yes! Yes! Bring us the head of Ihtafeer! Bring us the head of the flesh-eating shapeshifter! |
| 43524 You must be careful, mortal one! Ihtafeer is a ruhk... she is a wondrous being of magic and may only be struck by powerful magic herself! Cautious, cautious, little mortal! |
| 43525 Oooh, poor mortal you are! Too timid to find the mighty rakshasa ruhk for us! It is a sad, sad thing to see you here. |
| 43526 Oh, come now, mortal! It is only a ruhk rakshasa and her companions we seek! You are a strong and powerful being yourself, are you not? |
| 43527 Heeeee... I do not speak with the lesser mortal creatures, such as yourself. I be not here by choice, indeed. |
| 43528 Begone from me, mortal, lest you serve the khan... speak to he, if you dare. |
| 43529 Heeee... you will find our little rakshasi, will you? More likely you will die, mortal! Ihtafeer is a ruhk, a knight, and far too much for you! |
| 43530 We be here only as a service to our summoner, mortal! Find this rakshasi quickly, bring her head... I wish to begone! |
| 43531 Ahhh! If it is not a lovely <RACE> come to see an old woman in the woods, eh? Perhaps you have come, like so many others, to partake of my potions, yes? |
| 43532 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 43533 Certainly. Let me see your potions. |
| 43534 I know who you are! You are the rakshasa that the genies are looking for! |
| 43535 No, I don't think so. |
| 43536 Oh, just an old woman, dearie. My name is Adratha... one who likes herbs and mixing things, that is all. The druids here have left me pretty much alone, they have. |
| 43537 Well, let me see your potions, then. |
| 43538 Are you not bothered by the animal attacks in this area? |
| 43539 I know who you are! You are the rakshasa that the genies are looking for! |
| 43540 Are you not bothered by the animal attacks in this area? |
| 43541 Oh good! I do so enjoy someone coming by to look at my mixes! The townsfolk always come, but none have come lately... the business with the animals, I suppose... |
| 43542 Well, I'll be going, then. |
| 43543 What?! You do not have the stench of the djinn on you! How do you know this?! Bah! |
| 43544 You are fools! We will devour you! |
| 43545 Oh, no, no. I have no troubles with the beasties here. And if I did, I have my boys Saadat and Jalaal to handle it, yes I do. |
| 43546 Just who are you, anyway? |
| 43547 Let me see what potions you have, then. |
| 43548 I know who you are! You are the rakshasa that the genies are looking for! |
| 43549 I'll be going, then. |
| 43550 Well, all right dearie, on your way, then. I have much to do. |
| 43551 You! You have the stench of those filthy djinn about you! I know what you have come for! |
| 43552 You dare to attack us?! You dare! You are not even one of the filthy djinn who hunt us! |
| 43553 I have nothing to say to you. If you must speak, speak to... to Grandmother. Yes. |
| 43554 You dare to attack us?! You dare! You are not even one of the filthy djinn who hunt us! |
| 43555 You dare to attack us?! You dare! You are not even one of the filthy djinn who hunt us! |
| 43556 Our... grandmother... is the one who makes potions. The locals often come by here to buy them from her... you must speak to her if you wish one. |
| 43557 Hail, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>! Stop and speak a moment with me, if you would! |
| 43558 My name is Itona, and I represent the Shadow Thieves here in this town. You are familiar with us, yes? I, for one, am quite familiar with you and your activities throughout Amn so far. |
| 43559 I approach you now only because we both need the other's help. Might you be interested in hearing me out, or shall I go back whence I came? |
| 43560 I'll hear you out. What would I need your help for? |
| 43561 I have had poor dealings with the Shadow Thieves in the past... speak your piece and speak it quickly. |
| 43562 I'll have nothing to do with you! Begone! |
| 43563 You have talked to the Dao genies outside of the gates, yes? And you have agreed to find the rakshasa that they hunt for? |
| 43564 No need to deny it; we already know this to be the case. The genies seem remarkably unconcerned about us mere mortals spying on them. But that is neither here nor there. |
| 43565 The point is, we believe we know where the rakshasa is hiding. And you may be the only one who can defeat her, we believe... if you intend to do so, we will tell you where she is. |
| 43566 How much is it going to cost me? |
| 43567 Why would you do this? |
| 43568 Not at all, Saemon, though at times you can be a little... trying on the nerves. I certainly meant no offense. |
| 43569 I don't trust you... forget it. |
| 43570 Very well. Tell me. |
| 43571 As you wish. You have agreed to find the rakshasa for the Dao's khan, correct? We know this to be true, so do not deny it. |
| 43572 Then you are more of a fool than I had believed. Hunt on your own then, if that is what you wish to do. |
| 43573 It won't cost you a copper. Consider this free advice, if you will, in return for a service done for both our benefits. |
| 43574 Why would you do this? |
| 43575 Free advice from the Shadow Thieves? No thanks... I'm not that stupid. |
| 43576 All right, I'll take it for what it's worth. Tell me. |
| 43577 It's very simple. The genies have all of the wealth in Trademeet currently, and we certainly cannot steal it from them. We want the genies gone so that the wealth is once again... distributed evenly. |
| 43578 You understand, yes? Everyone benefits this way... and we see no one else who can fight rakshasas in Trademeet at the moment. So that makes you the beneficiary of our largesse. |
| 43579 All right... so how much is this going to cost me? |
| 43580 Largesse? I don't trust that... forget it. |
| 43581 Fair enough. Tell me, then. |
| 43582 Excellent. There is an old woman by the name of Adratha who lives in the woods near the druid's grove. The woman has been there for some time, selling potions and phials and such to the locals. Harmless. |
| 43583 Blood of a Silver Dragon |
| 43584 Lately, however, many of the people who have gone to see this woman have disappeared utterly. And we have also spotted two men who are with the woman now who were not there previously. |
| 43585 Some of the locals who have returned say that the woman claims these are her grandsons... but we have it on record that Adratha had no relatives, and said so often. |
| 43586 Rakshasas eat the flesh of humans and are masterful shapeshifters. We believe that they have replaced the potion-seller and are luring locals to their lair to consume. |
| 43587 Go to the witch's house then... on the way to the druid's grove, but northeast instead... and you shall find the genies' rakshasas. |
| 43588 And there you have it. Do this, and the Shadow Thieves will be pleased enough. |
| 43589 No, I haven't. In fact, I know where Ihtafeer is. |
| 43590 *sigh* I thought I had made this clear earlier, mortal. You short-lived creatures do have such difficulty with your hearing. |
| 43591 We have no intention of chasing down this crude rakshasa ourselves. It is much more preferable to wait here and amuse ourselves and have another do it for us. |
| 43592 So if you know where the ruhk lies, excellent! I suggest you go forth and retrieve her head for us, yes? We shall await your return! |
| 43593 Ahh! I... I thought that druid had been arrested! He... he's going to kill us all! Ahhhhh! |
| 43594 I... I don't know who you are! You... you're with the druids, aren't you?! You're one of them! |
| 43595 We... we don't welcome strangers here. Not anymore! Not with all the beasts turning against us! It's... it's Waukeen's revenge! We've done something wrong! |
| 43596 Well... I suppose you're all right. Seeing as how you're... not really with the druids and all. And saved us from them, I suppose. |
| 43597 If you're such a hero then, why don't you do something about those genies, huh? It's all fine and well to have us saved from being eaten by wolves, only to have us starved out! |
| 43598 Those genies are taking over everything! Everything! I... I was foolish to sell them my shop, I was. All that gold... it all just up and vanished the next day! |
| 43599 You think you're so great, I suppose. My daughter ran off to be a hero too... and now she's dead and forgotten, just like every other adventurer! |
| 43600 *sigh* I should never have given up my shop. Now there's no genies, no gold, and no shop... and Trademeet's going to be restored to prosperity now. |
| 43601 Don't tell my wife I sold the shop to those genies! Now that they're gone and Trademeet's been restored, we have nothing! She'll... she'll kill me! |
| 43602 Rune of Imprisonment |
| 43603 Rune of Imprisonment |
| 43604 Oh! It... it's the druid! Run! Somebody call the militia! |
| 43605 Er... you're one of the ones that saved the town? I was attacked by a horde of rabbits when I was in my wagon, coming back from Hilltop. It was horrid! |
| 43606 The genies are hoarding all the food! I... I went to them yesterday, and they were charging four coppers for a loaf of bread! I'm soooo hungry... |
| 43607 Eeek! I... I'm just a little halfling! Please don't hurt me! |
| 43608 It was bears the last time... five of them just lumbered into town. Poor old Missus Berrybreath... swallowed whole, she was. *shudder* |
| 43609 Hmph. Now that this is all over, I went and bought all the jarred food I could find and stored them in my burrow. Won't happen again to THIS halfling, no <PRO_SIRMAAM>! |
| 43610 Arvoreen's mercy, you're one of the heroes of the town! Pleased to meetcha! |
| 43611 No more animal attacks? I suppose that means no more fresh meat either. We're gonna have to buy everything from the genies... |
| 43612 When you're this short, nobody calls you "mister." |
| 43613 Gaaah! We're under attack! The druids have returned! |
| 43614 Trademeet was set aside by Waukeen to be a place for peace and fairness in trade. But since the goddess left us, there's been nothing but problems. Thieves, genies, feuds... it's been awful. |
| 43615 You saved us from the animals, didn't you? Why don't you do something about those genies? Go... go and kick them out or something. Someone has to do something! |
| 43616 Get away from me! I don't know who you are, but... but I'm not about to associate with a druid spy! |
| 43617 You don't live here, do you? Then why have you come?! Don't you know the town's under siege by nature itself? We're all doomed! |
| 43618 Ahh. It is nice to have some peace restored for once. I know it's thanks to you, but I can't help wondering if Waukeen has returned... |
| 43619 You will always be welcome here. Perhaps Lord Logan will name you High Merchant so he can join his sister in Riatavin... stranger things have happened. |
| 43620 My wife will be pleased now. They had to salt her garden a month ago because it started to attack us. I never did like her bedelias anyway, but that was ridiculous. |
| 43621 Maybe things will start looking up for us now. If only there weren't those thieves around here... seeing them in Trademeet just churns my stomach. |
| 43622 Oh no! It's the druid they arrested! He's come to get me! Eeek! |
| 43623 Oh, I know that... that it must have been very difficult. To save us from the beasts, I mean. But... but we are no better off. Not so long as those genies hoard our very food... |
| 43624 Thank the gods that the animals have stopped attacking! One day, those awful druids sent a horde of rats through the town. I... the memory still makes me shiver. |
| 43625 Go away! Just go away! |
| 43626 Excuse me, but I really shouldn't be talking to you. There's... there's nothing to buy in Trademeet anymore, and no one has money to sell. So... you'd be better off just leaving! |
| 43627 If only something could be done now about the founding families. The Lurraxols and the Alibakkars have been feuding for years... and yet the council does nothing about it! |
| 43628 You will always be a welcome sight here in this town, <SIRMAAM>. Maybe they'll build a statue of you! |
| 43629 Did you know... a few friends of mine have gone out to the old witch in the woods and haven't come back? I've bought phials from her before... I wonder what's wrong? |
| 43630 I heard that a few people have disappeared lately right out of the city... and they're saying that it wasn't from the animals either! Oh, I wish Waukeen would return to us... |
| 43631 Why, Mistress Bodhi, you speak of our relations as though they've been unkind to you! I sincerely hope that's... not the case. |
| 43632 This extravagant statue depicts King Esmel, the Shoonite general who unified the emirates to form the country that is now known as Amn. |
| 43633 I would not dream of taking any such offense to you, Mistress Bodhi. You're a delight to work with in... all things! |
| 43634 This is the ammunition for Jan's crossbow (the Flasher Master Bruiser). These skulls are filled with a special powder that does a little bit of damage and has a chance to stun an opponent (Saving Throw vs. Spell or be stunned for 2 rounds). STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – Hit target must save vs. Spell or be stunned for 2 rounds THAC0: +1 Damage: 1d2+1 (missile) Launcher: Flasher Master Bruiser Requires: 9 Intelligence Weight: 0 |
| 43635 Again I sense a hesitation in your voice, Mistress Bodhi, such that I must seriously consider reexamining the way in which I conduct myself. |
| 43636 Adherent |
| 43637 Distress and woe! I had best make well and sure that your cargo reaches the isle safely lest your opinion of me lower to positively subterranean levels. |
| 43638 <CHARNAME>, this is Saemon Havarian, and he is the captain of this vessel. His word is law aboard ship... within reason, of course. |
| 43639 You are as incapable of change as a mountain vista. Careful nudging over a thousand years might create a crack, but you would simply turn to show an unblemished side. |
| 43640 My opinion of you is firmly entrenched among the stars, Saemon Havarian. Now, explain the voyage to come. What, pray tell, is the name of your ship this season? |
| 43641 It changes with whim and a gust of the wind. Never do I seem to affix the nameplate with proper resin. For now, "Galante" will suffice. |
| 43642 As for the journey, I trust m'lady will be spending the bulk of it below decks? I know your ever-alabaster skin finds the sunlight and moving water to be an irritant most caustic. |
| 43643 That is my concern alone, Saemon, and no more will be said of it. To the details of the voyage, if you please. |
| 43644 The druid! Oh! |
| 43645 You are a great <MANWOMAN> to have saved us from the druids, but things are still not right. People are... disappearing. And those genies... I'm tempted to go back to halfling lands. |
| 43646 We had always gotten along so well with the druids of the grove. To think it could all have changed so quickly... |
| 43647 I am a simple halfling lass... Iâ€â€I have nothing you want! |
| 43648 You aren't working with the druids, are you? Oh, I know it sounds silly, but it is hard not to be fearful when the world has turned against us! |
| 43649 It has been quite some time since I felt safe to walk the streets of Trademeet. I suppose I have you to thank for that. |
| 43650 Those genies are gone? Oh good... they were so, so frightening! I went to them once, and the way they looked down at me... I might as well have been an insect to them. |
| 43651 I cannot believe that we all were so ready to kill that poor druid. We forced Lord Logan to arrest him and everything! I suppose we were very desperate to blame... somebody. |
| 43652 I wonder why they maintain the church here for Waukeen. She... she's dead, is she not? And Lliira is her regent. Why do they not turn the church over to her? |
| 43653 Of course, Mistress Bodhi, of course. <CHARNAME>, being inexperienced with the sea as you are, I suggest you pay careful heed to my words. |
| 43654 The journey shall be swift, for I have a good ship and a fine crew, veterans both and well seasoned. You may scarcely notice the passing of the voyage. |
| 43655 Then speak and be done with it. I wish to be underway as soon as possible. |
| 43656 You are the captain, and I shall listen attentively to your warnings. |
| 43657 Bodhi? Am I to be subservient to this foppish milksop? |
| 43658 Do not anger him, <CHARNAME>. No other captains would dare the voyage. |
| 43659 Cowards all, I should say. No stomach for the vivid taste of adventure. A touch sour to the palate, perhaps, but ripened by the gold you have paid. |
| 43660 My family is one of the wealthiest in Athkatla... we have interests in the gold mines up north and the shipwrights here in the city. So I will thank you not to stand too close. |
| 43661 I don't suppose you're from one of the mercantile companies, are you? No... I didn't think so. |
| 43662 If you ever travel to Riatavin or Trademeet, my friend, beware of the Copriths. That family will be the ruin of Amn, I swear by Helm's beard! |
| 43663 I'm having a difficulty with the workers at one of our gold mines, and I'm not leaving until I speak to a councilor about it. |
| 43664 Begone, peasant! I am the lord of one of Amn's great families, and I'll not have your rude stench assaulting my nostrils! |
| 43665 *sniff* I didn't realize they let wilderness erudites in here without hosing them down first. |
| 43666 And well you should. No other captain would dare the voyage. |
| 43667 Hmm... hmm. Yes, you'll do. You... the pretty elf there. I need a new mistress, and I think you'll do nicely. |
| 43668 That is not to say there are not dangers. A sudden squall or hidden reef could prove deadly, though we are more likely to encounter pirates of ill repute. |
| 43669 As opposed to the pirate of good repute which we have hired. |
| 43670 Mistress Bodhi, you do me great harm. To suggest I would stoop to such behavior is a grievous falsehood, the very stuff of fantasy. |
| 43671 Oh, <CHARNAME>, I shall have someone go to Merella's cabin... uh, YOUR cabin... and clean and stock it with things the grateful townsfolk will offer. |
| 43672 Very well, though I trust that you know the pirates' hunting grounds well enough to see us safely through. |
| 43673 Er, of course. A stalwart captain is always prepared for any eventuality. |
| 43674 Then we are ready and should set sail at once. |
| 43675 Then I trust the trip will be uneventful. I will hold you to that promise of safety. |
| 43676 Indeed, <CHARNAME>. It would be unfortunate if we mistook an attacking pirate for one in our midst. |
| 43677 I am not sure I approve of the tone of this discourse. Best that we direct our thoughts to the voyage ahead and set our sails. More shall be said on arrival. |
| 43678 Hold fast, the journey begins. |
| 43679 Adherent |
| 43680 With a reminder that any loss of time due to attacks will be exacted off the end of the captain's life. |
| 43681 Citizens of Trademeet! We are gathered here today to honor the heroes of our small town, led by the <PRO_LADYLORD> <CHARNAME>. |
| 43682 They have not only stopped the assault of nature upon us by removing the evil druid that had taken over our local grove, but have also spared us from the recent domination of the genies! |
| 43683 We have arrived! And in good time, I might add. Congratulatory remarks for all the crewâ€â€and to our visitors for their delightful company. |
| 43684 You are once again free to walk the streets of Trademeet, and new caravans have already been hired to bring supplies to our local merchants. |
| 43685 It is good to know that even though we do not have our beloved Waukeen looking out for us, we still have people like this who we can turn to in a time of need! |
| 43686 From this day forth, I declare that these companions be known as the Heroes of Trademeet! Their likenesses shall be displayed on the fountain forevermore! |
| 43687 Bravo! BRAVO! |
| 43688 Hear, hear! |
| 43689 You have saved us all! |
| 43690 Oh yes, most excellent work, hero! |
| 43691 Indeed! |
| 43692 You will always be welcome here, no matter what your reputation might be elsewhere. May the gods smile on you for all you have done. |
| 43693 You will always be welcome here. You are a true hero who has shown true valiance to my people. I thank you, and hope that the gods smile on your journeys. |
| 43694 You will always be welcome here. Obviously, you are deserving of your glowing reputation as a true hero. May the gods smile on your journeys. |
| 43695 Greetings to you. I am Lady Lilith Lurraxol, the head of the noble family that founded this town long, long ago. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. |
| 43696 It is pleasing to know that there are heroes of real mettle here in Trademeet, ones with both courage and ability. As it so happens, I have need of such people. |
| 43697 Please, if you are interested in the reward for performing such a task, do come and speak to me at my mansion. I look forward to seeing you there. |
| 43698 Hmph! I see that that vicious harpy has already pounced upon you. Ignore whatever she says... she is a conniving witch and a liar. |
| 43699 I am Lord Skarmaen Alibakkar, and it is MY family that founded Trademeet, NOT hers. So I greet you in the name of the town's premiere family. |
| 43700 No doubt Lady Lilith has asked you to perform a service for her... I happen to need the same service done, so I ask that you come to see me in my home so that we may discuss it further. |
| 43701 If you are foolish and work for the Lurraxols, however, you will not be welcome in my home! Think carefully on this. |
| 43702 *sigh* I am sorry they chose to involve you in their schemes. The Lurraxols and the Alibakkars are old and powerful families here, and they have been feuding for generations. |
| 43703 Be careful in your dealings with them; that's all I can say. I have here a reward that the town merchants have gathered for you. Don't forget to go and see the statues that have been conjured in your image. They're in the center of town at the fountain. |
| 43704 You are a stranger here in Trademeet, and you have entered my home unwelcomely. Begone with you, before I tell my guards to throw you out! |
| 43705 You may be something of a hero here in Trademeet, but I am Lady Lilith Lurraxol... and you shall not enter my home uninvited. Please leave immediately. |
| 43706 You are responsible for the death of the head of one of Trademeet's finest families! No matter what they might have done, you are unwelcome here. |
| 43707 We do not condone murder here, especially of members of our fine noble families! Men! Arrest them now! |
| 43708 Ah! It is the hero of Trademeet, come to see me at last. I trust that all is well? That pig, Skarmaen, did not speak too harshly about me, I trust? No matter. He is a stubborn, deluded fool. |
| 43709 Our families have been at odds for generations, you see. The Alibakkars refuse to acknowledge the fact that we are the only true noble family in Trademeet, having founded it. |
| 43710 Why they would think themselves higher than they are is beyond my ken. What is unfortunate, however, is that my family has never had actual, physical proof of the truth of our claim. |
| 43711 That has changed, however. A tome has recently been uncovered... an old tome belonging to my family... that states there is proof right here in Trademeet under our noses. |
| 43712 In the graveyard, here in town, lies the crypt of the founder... my ancestor. With him lies the Mantle of Waukeen. A pretty name for an old gold circlet. |
| 43713 That circlet, however, would prove my claim once and for all and shut those Alibakkars up. I would get it myself, but the tomb is haunted, you see. |
| 43714 You are a hero who might enter that tomb and retrieve the circlet for me, if you are willing. In return, I will pay you 1,000 gold. What do you say, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 43715 Very well... I will try my best. |
| 43716 I think a larger reward is required here. |
| 43717 Token of Amaunator |
| 43718 I'm not sure about disturbing a tomb or the buried dead... |
| 43719 No, I don't think so. |
| 43720 Excellent! Here is the key to the tomb... the fact that we possess it is yet more proof of our legitimacy. Use it to enter and obtain the mantle, and then return to me when you are done. |
| 43721 I am sure there are riches enough for you in the tomb. Alibakkar will pay you no more, of that you can be certain, and 1,000 gold is more than adequate for a rusted circlet! |
| 43722 All right, then. I'll retrieve this mantle for you. |
| 43723 Forget it, then. I haven't the time. |
| 43724 I'm still not sure about desecrating a tomb and the buried dead, however... |
| 43725 The tomb was abandoned long ago because of this... haunting problem. I'm positive the town will look upon it as yet another favor done by you. And trust me, my ancestor would want me to have the mantle! |
| 43726 Very well. I'll do it. |
| 43727 I think a larger payment is necessary. |
| 43728 No, I don't think so. |
| 43729 *sigh* If that's how you want to be, then fine. Do come back if you change your mind, <GABBER>. But if you go to that Alibakkar with this, you'll no longer be welcome here, I can assure you of that! |
| 43730 I have heard of your deal with that pig, Skarmaen! You are a fool to work for him! Begone from my home! |
| 43731 Mmm... have you changed your mind, <GABBER>? 1,000 gold, easily earned for such a skilled adventurer such as yourself. |
| 43732 All right... I'll do as you ask. |
| 43733 I think a larger payment is needed to change my mind. |
| 43734 I am still not sure about desecrating a tomb. |
| 43735 No, I don't think so. |
| 43736 <GABBER>! It is good to see you once again. Do you have the Mantle of Waukeen with you? I have been waiting anxiously to see it. |
| 43737 No, I don't have it yet, but I intend to get it. |
| 43738 No, I don't have it... and I'm not going to get it either. |
| 43739 Ah. I am a little disappointed, but I am glad that you intend to continue. I will wait a little longer, I suppose. |
| 43740 What?! You are very rude, for a commoner. Very well, if that is how you wish to be, I cannot stop you. If you change your mind, do come and speak to me again. |
| 43741 I do not know you! For all I am aware, you may even be behind all this nonsense with the beasts attacking the town! Get out of my home! Out! Out! |
| 43742 Hmph. I am Lord Skarmaen Alibakkar, and I think some manner of courtesy is required here. Even though you may have defeated those awful druids, an invitation is required to enter my home. So begone. |
| 43743 Hello once again, <CHARNAME>! It is pleasing to see that you did not respond to the call of that harlot, Lady Lilith. The woman is too deluded to see the truth, as I said. A commoner that has risen above her station. |
| 43744 Our two houses have been feuding for generations. The Lurraxols seem to be possessed of the notion that their family founded this town... what an absurd thought! |
| 43745 Why they would even presume to suppose such a thing, I have no idea. It is sad, however, that the Alibakkars have never had the evidence to prove our claim to them... though it galls me that we would need it. |
| 43746 All that has recently changed. An old tome belonging to my family states that there is proofâ€â€that proof can be found right here in Trademeet. |
| 43747 In the graveyard is a tomb that has been long abandoned... but which also houses the founder of the town. My ancestor. With him lies a large circlet called the Mantle of Waukeen. |
| 43748 Possessing that circlet would be all the proof I need, so I wish to acquire it. I would do so myself, but there happens to be a good reason the tomb is abandoned. It is... haunted, so they say. |
| 43749 The exact nature of its danger I do not know... but you are a hero who surely could face its perils and return safely with the mantle, yes? In return, I shall pay you 1,000 gold. |
| 43750 Very well... I will try my best. |
| 43751 Very good. I shall give you the key, then, which will allow you into the tomb... the key itself having been in my family for some time as well. More proof, yes? Go, then, and return with the mantle. |
| 43752 I think a larger reward is required here. |
| 43753 Hmph. I am sure there is treasure to be found in the tomb, if you look for it. And if you are thinking of going to the Lurraxol witch, I doubt she can pay more. No... 1,000 gold is all I offer. |
| 43754 All right, then. I'll retrieve this mantle for you. |
| 43755 I'm still not sure about desecrating a tomb and the buried dead, however... |
| 43756 Do not be squeamish, <CHARNAME>! You have done this before, no? And besides... the haunted tomb has long been a nuisance. I am sure the town will look on this as yet another feat of your heroism. |
| 43757 Very well. I'll do it. |
| 43758 I think a larger payment is necessary. |
| 43759 No, I don't think so. |
| 43760 Hmph. If you change your mind, I shall be here to speak to you. But if you go to that Lurraxol bitch with this information, you will not be welcome back! |
| 43761 Forget it, then. I haven't the time. |
| 43762 I'm not sure about disturbing a tomb or the buried dead... |
| 43763 No, I don't think so. |
| 43764 Bah! Did you think I would not hear of your deal with the witch?! Begone from my house, fool! I will not stand for your presence! |
| 43765 I knew you would change your mind. Or have you? 1,000 gold is not so easily come by, and I am sure this would be no trial on your abilities. |
| 43766 All right... I'll do as you ask. |
| 43767 I think a larger payment is needed to change my mind. |
| 43768 I am still not sure about desecrating a tomb. |
| 43769 No, I don't think so. |
| 43770 Ah, I see you have returned. I await the sight of my prize, if you have it. |
| 43771 No, I don't have it yet, but I intend to get it. |
| 43772 Hm. Then what are you waiting for? Go to the tomb and retrieve it. |
| 43773 No, I don't have it... and I'm not going to get it either. |
| 43774 I see. How you gained your vaunted reputation, then, is beyond my knowledge. But I can do nothing about it. If you courage changes, however, do come and see me again. |
| 43775 Yes, Saemon Havarian, it was particularly wily of you to distract those other ships we saw in the distance. I take it that your signals in the night were some type of warning? |
| 43776 Yes, well, I thought they might be pirates, so I merely displayed a series of lights that mirrored their own. I wished to appear as though I were one of their own. |
| 43777 A masterful job of camouflage: It seemed that they truly believed your signal meant there would be trouble if they attacked. |
| 43778 Ah well, one must always be prepared for such elements upon the sea. Fortunately, they are short of wit, though long of blade. |
| 43779 Regardless, you are now safely at your destination, and I shall cheerfully take my leave of you. It has been a pleasure, Mistress Bodhi. |
| 43780 I shall need a guide about town. Perhaps you would accompany us for a while? |
| 43781 Good, I am glad to see you go. I do not trust you in the slightest. |
| 43782 Fare thee well, then. I bid you safe travels. |
| 43783 An excellent idea, <CHARNAME>. In fact, was that not part of our original deal, Saemon? Yes, I think it was. |
| 43784 Of... of course, Mistress Bodhi, it had merely slipped my mind for the moment. |
| 43785 Luckily, I reminded you. Saemon will tell you what you need to know of this place, <CHARNAME>. I have business of my own I must attend to. |
| 43786 Find out how to safely breach the asylum and rescue your comrade, Imoen. I shall await the inevitable ruckus and meet you afterwards. |
| 43787 <GABBER>! It is good to see you once again! Do you... have... aaaah. I see that you do possess the mantle. For such an old object, it has retained much of its beauty, yes? |
| 43788 He cannot depart just yet. He has to tell you what you need to know of the place. Was that not part of our original deal, Saemon? Yes, I think it was. |
| 43789 Good luck, <CHARNAME>. I look forward to our next meeting. |
| 43790 Mistress Bodhi does have a way of making her words cut you with their very vowels, hmm? A heart of gold, though only because it has been ripped from her chest and gilded such. |
| 43791 This is a glorious day! Finally, that pig-headed Skarmaen will see that the Lurraxols are the true noble family of Trademeet... and the Alibakkars nothing but well-dressed peasants! |
| 43792 If you feel that way, why did you help us? Your tone is very different now. |
| 43793 You insult her? Guide me as you should, or I will tell her what you said. |
| 43794 How do you know of her? You do not seem like her usual lackeys. |
| 43795 Do not be so sure, witch! That mantle rightfully belongs to my family! You have stolen it from us! |
| 43796 Stolen it?! It was with the body of the founder of Trademeet... my ancestor! The circlet belongs to me! |
| 43797 The founder is MY ancestor, not yours! |
| 43798 Don't be ridiculous! The founder was part of MY family! |
| 43799 Bah! You have no claim to the mantle! You are deluded, woman! You shall never have the mantle to yourself! |
| 43800 No, it is you who are wrong! YOU shall never have it! The Lurraxols are the only true nobles here! <CHARNAME>... I command you to give it to me NOW! |
| 43801 No, <CHARNAME>... it is MINE! Give it to ME! |
| 43802 You won't get it, Skarmaen! I'll take it from the hero's dead hands before I let you have it! |
| 43803 Not if I get it first, witch! |
| 43804 You are back? Do you have the mantle with you? Ah... I see that you do. Rather unremarkable, isn't it, for something that is worth so much? |
| 43805 This is a grand, grand day! Finally, that Lurraxol witch will know for certain that it is the Alibakkars who are supreme here and her family nothing but a band of pretenders! |
| 43806 Did you think I would be so stupid as to allow you to plunder my ancestor's grave unnoticed?! I had the hero watched, naturally! You will not get away with this! |
| 43807 Ahhh... you are the one who has killed our dear Lord Skarmaen, no? You may not have known it, dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>, but our families have always been at odds here in Trademeet. |
| 43808 And now the fool is dead, as he deserves. No doubt Lord Logan will be most displeased with your actions, but I am not. |
| 43809 Here, then, is a reward for your service... whether it was asked for or not. And I thank you, good <PRO_MANWOMAN>, once again. I trust your journeys will go well. |
| 43810 Ahhh... you are the one who has killed our dear Lord Skarmaen, no? You have, no doubt, heard of the feud between our families. Skarmaen was convinced that the Alibakkars were the founding family of Trademeet. |
| 43811 I had asked you to come here to recover proof for my family of that fact, but it is needed no longer. Still, a reward is due for your kind actions. |
| 43812 Despite what Lord Logan might think, I appreciate what you have done. May your journeys go well, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 43813 Greetings, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. You are welcome in my home for now due to your past services for my family. Do not... make yourself too comfortable, however. |
| 43814 Hah! I hear you actually killed that Lurraxol witch! Good for you! Did you know that our families have had a long-standing feud? Hmmm... perhaps you did not. |
| 43815 Regardless, you deserve a reward for such a good deed, and here it is. Don't listen to that fool, Coprith... you are gold in my books, heh. |
| 43816 Hah! I hear you actually killed that Lurraxol witch! Good for you! I suppose the long-standing feud between our families is over, hey? |
| 43817 I had intended to have you search for proof of my family's true nobility, but that is no longer needed. The only one I had to prove it to was that witch anyway. |
| 43818 You deserve a reward, no matter what Coprith might say, and here it is. Good luck on your travels, my friend... you're gold in my books. |
| 43819 I agree, but I must ally with her to achieve my goal. A necessary evil. |
| 43820 Proper respect must be given to ensure future prospects. She knows well how I feel, and I doubt she trusts me any more than I do her. |
| 43821 Aye, you're welcome enough in my home, for all that you've done. Don't frighten the servants and you can stay as long as you like. |
| 43822 She would not care. Words are mere playthings to her; she does not feel their sting as we might. I am another matter, however, and would ask you to change your tone. |
| 43823 Symbol of Amaunator |
| 43824 I met her some years ago, when I was in the unfortunate position of being held by the constabulary of Zazesspur. She effected my release in exchange for a favor. |
| 43825 I have worked with her and her brother on occasion since then, though I am mostly left to my own meanderings. I have been well paid for helping you. |
| 43826 Regardless of the feud between the Alibakkars and Lurraxols, I do not appreciate murder. For all you have done, I will not arrest you... but you are not welcome here. |
| 43827 Mistress Bodhi is a delicious evil, one that I am better for having known. I merely mention her coldness to test your own thoughts. |
| 43828 Hold in the name of order! I demand that you desist at once! |
| 43829 Thy work is done. Amaunator's Blessing upon thee. |
| 43830 I merely broached the subject to test your own perceptions, to see if they are to my liking. They will do. The payment for my service was such that I worried about your nature. |
| 43831 Ah... I see that this has already ended. *sigh* It is much as I thought it would be, truly. I tried to warn you, <CHARNAME>, but you did not listen to me. |
| 43832 And now both of our most noble families are dead simply because they could not accept the fact they descended from the same family. How very unfortunate. |
| 43833 Enough of this for now; I must carry out my duties and see to your entrenchment within the town. |
| 43834 Greetings again, <CHARNAME>. I trust that your journeys go well? Remember that you are always welcome in Trademeet. |
| 43835 Step close, for there are ne'er-do-wells at each turn. The tavern is the surest place to find what you need. |
| 43836 Herein you shall find what you need. I will go no further lest I be recognized and harm your efforts. The Vulgar Monkey tavern should hold what you are looking for. |
| 43837 Greetings again, <CHARNAME>. Lady Lilith and Lord Skarmaen are not annoying you overmuch, I hope? Again, I urge you to be cautious. |
| 43838 I shall return to my ship and leave you to whatever trials you must face. My best advice is to be polite to all you meet here. |
| 43839 Oh, Light! Can it be? You come, <MANWOMAN>, bearing the bones of the Child Prophetess Amuana! Her defilement is at an end. |
| 43840 These old bones? I found them being gnawed upon in a room full of shade wolves. You may have them if you wish. |
| 43841 Explain yourselves. Who are you, spirits, and who is this Amuana whose bones you say I possess? |
| 43842 Once, long ago, this was a place of darkness and vile creatures that spilled into this world from the blackness. Amaunator invaded this place, brought his light to it and drove away the shadows! |
| 43843 The Yellow God set up temples here... and wards to keep the darkness forever at bay. Once, there were priests who shouted his names to the heavens and kept the wards strong! |
| 43844 But our Amaunator has lost his power over the ages. The Keeper of the Sun is no longer worshipped as he once was... and the wards began to weaken. |
| 43845 Shadow Druid |
| 43846 Amuana was born to our people a child prophetess... the Child of Light who would fight against the darkness that was once more beginning to spill into these lands. |
| 43847 But it was too late... too late. |
| 43848 Amuana was overwhelmed by the Shade Lord. We could... could not protect her as he took her body and... threw her bones to his dark wolves... |
| 43849 Shadow Druid |
| 43850 The bones of the child you have brought to us! |
| 43851 Bodhi said you were to guide me in this city. You risk her anger with your laziness. |
| 43852 Good. I do not wish you near me. I can handle this place by myself. |
| 43853 Is that all the help you can give? I do not know this place at all. |
| 43854 Oh, Light! Can it be? You come, <MANWOMAN>, bearing the bones of the Child Prophetess Amuana! Her defilement is at an end. |
| 43855 These old bones? I found them being gnawed upon in a room full of shade wolves. You may have them if you wish. |
| 43856 Explain yourselves. Who are you, spirits, and who is this Amuana whose bones you say I possess? |
| 43857 With all the trouble we are experiencing here in the town, stranger, I doubt you will be welcome here in the Lurraxol household. |
| 43858 This is the manor of Lady Lilith Lurraxol, the family that founded Trademeet. Lady Lilith is not expecting you, however. |
| 43859 I believe the Lady Lilith is expecting you. You may go on in and speak to her, if you wish. |
| 43860 Begone, dog! We know full well that you work for the Alibakkar, so take your presence away from our Lady's house! |
| 43861 Do not think of my actions as such, as it is another matter entirely. Laziness is but one of my motivators. |
| 43862 Well done! I hear that the Lord of the Alibakkar is dead! Surely Lady Lilith will wish to reward you! |
| 43863 I have a name about this town that is not spoken in polite company. My presence would prove more hindrance than help. |
| 43864 Wise thought dictates I return to my vessel and scan the horizon for... anything that might prove troublesome. The vantage from my hammock is the best, I think. |
| 43865 You will have to, my independent friend. My presence would be more hindrance than help regardless. |
| 43866 The town is under siege by beasts, stranger. Lord Alibakkar is not admitting people into his home while the danger lasts. |
| 43867 You have come to the home of Lord Skarmaen Alibakkar. Lord Skarmaen is not expecting visitors, however, so I would ask that you leave. |
| 43868 I have been told that Lord Skarmaen expects you. You may enter. |
| 43869 Away with you! You are a lackey of the Lurraxols and not welcome here! |
| 43870 We hear that the bitch Lurraxol is dead. Have you talked to Lord Skarmaen? I am sure he will wish to reward you. |
| 43871 Speak with Sanik inside. He has little love for me, but there is scant about this town that does not pass his notice. |
| 43872 This shall be your ship to the island. The bulk of your gold purchased your passageâ€â€as well as the silence of the crew. |
| 43873 Ah, there you are! I see that you've weathered the storms of this place with reasonable pluck and health. It does me good to see you alive. |
| 43874 Aye... ye looks like a reasonable sort. With all o' the goods here in Trademeet squandered by th' genies, perhaps you'd be interested in acquirin' some goods from a less... legitimate... source, yes? |
| 43875 Note from Imnesvale |
| 43876 This is a note left at your cabin on behalf of the citizens of Imnesvale. "Dear <CHARNAME>, Our sincere thanks for all that you have done for us. We gratefully offer you these meager gifts which you shall find about the cabin. It is our humble wish that you shall make this place your home and offer your considerable talents as our new ranger. We are in your debt," The note is signed by Minister Lloyd and various other citizens of the village. |

| 43884 Having trouble? Ha ha! I should've thought that those in Mistress Bodhi's employ would be more adept at caring for their own needs. |
| 43885 I have no need of your assistance. Continue with your lounging. |
| 43886 I am having trouble finding a way into the asylum. Any thoughts? |
| 43888 I intend no other. |
| 43889 I really cannot shed any light upon this problem, beyond sending you to Sanik as I have already done. Have you spoken with him? He is in the tavern. |
| 43890 Thanks, I will try to speak with him. Return to your lounging. |
| 43891 He was of no help. Have you any other advice? |
| 43892 When you place the three symbols together, they meld into the Symbol of Amaunator. This should be the key that will gain entrance into the lower dungeon. |
| 43893 There is little I could do, even if I were of the predisposition to do it. I will tell you what I know, though it is no more than what Sanik would say. |
| 43894 I have heard that the Pirate Lord has had people admitted to the asylum before. If you proved your insanity to him, he might extend you the service. |
| 43895 There is a representative of the Cowled Wizards here as well. I know that he comes and goes whenever he pleases, so he must have a key or some such. |
| 43896 The light in the area is normal sunlight now. |
| 43897 That is all that I can say. If you have other concerns, you will have to address them yourself. |
| 43898 Though a silence more symbolic than anything, as you may well find my men a boisterous lot at all hours. I encourage general revelry. |
| 43899 Adratha the Witch |
| 43900 The personal habits of your crew are your business, Captain. Just as long as they perform as they should and deliver my people in good time. |
| 43901 Never a fear nor worry should cross your thoughts this eve, m'lord. I have traveled this sea a good many times, and I foresee no troubles. |
| 43902 Then let us proceed to introductions. <CHARNAME>, this is Captain Saemon Havarian. He and his ship will... Mr. Havarian, what is your ship called? |
| 43903 Ahh, the name changes as do the winds, mainly as I never seem to affix the plate with the proper resin. She is the Galante for now, until whim takes me elsewhere. |
| 43904 As for the voyage, heed my words, <CHARNAME>, as there are dangers to the sea you may not be aware of. |
| 43905 I am all ears, Captain. Yours is the voice of experience and I will listen. |
| 43906 Speak if you must, but keep it brief! We should sat sail as soon as possible! |
| 43907 Aran, are you entrusting my safety to this foppish oaf? I do not trust his smile. |
| 43908 The altar has had its evil shattered. The golden sheen of its former homage to Amaunator can be seen beneath the grime. |
| 43909 Cowards for captains, all of them. Certainly there are dangers, but your gold has removed much of fear's sting. One must consider all options, however. |
| 43910 Do not anger the captain, <CHARNAME>; there is little choice to be had in this matter. No other ship would dare the crossing. |
| 43911 A sudden squall or hidden reef could prove deadly to the unwary, though we are more likely to encounter pirates of ill repute. |
| 43912 That is why I have included some protection for this voyage. |
| 43913 Protection? I was not aware of any such plans. The captain should be consulted on all such matters. |
| 43914 Certainly. I am providing an extra crew member, one that will attempt to improve the overall safety of the voyage. |
| 43915 This is Sime, and she will be staying very close to you, Saemon Havarian. For your safety, of course. |
| 43916 Of course. |
| 43917 I shall make certain that, should we be surprised at sea, death will not come from a surprise source. Do I make myself clear? |
| 43918 As clear as clear could be, m'lady, though I am not sure I approve of your tone. I assure you, nothing untoward will happen during our crossing. |
| 43919 Sime shall also advise you, <CHARNAME>. She is acquainted with a few of the inhabitants of the island. |
| 43920 Then we are fully staffed and ready to sail. Best that we get underway as soon as possible. Disembark, m'lord, and we shall away. |
| 43921 Hold fast, the journey begins. |
| 43922 We have arrived! And in good time, I might add. Congratulatory remarks for all the crewâ€â€and to our visitors for their delightful company. |
| 43923 A particular congratulations to you, Captain. It was fortunate you distracted those other ships we saw in the distance. Your signals in the night; were they some type of warning? |
| 43924 Yes, well, I thought they might be pirates, so I merely displayed a series of lights that mirrored their own. I wished to appear as though I were one of their own. |
| 43925 Again, my compliments. It did seem that they truly believed your signal meant there would be trouble if they attacked. |
| 43926 It merely proves how short of wit they can be. One must always be a step ahead of their adversaries. |
| 43927 Regardless, we have arrived. I leave you to your mission, whatever it may be. It has been a pleasure sailing in your company, but now, I take my leave. |
| 43928 I do not trust this pirate, <CHARNAME>. His manner is that of a fool, but his behavior during the voyage betrays a cunning mind beneath. |
| 43929 He has delivered us as promised. There are more important things to worry about. |
| 43930 Kill him if you wish. I don't care either way. |
| 43931 He seems amiable enough to me. Come, you'll feel better once off the ship. |
| 43932 Agreed. Be prepared, this place is dangerous enough even without my suspicions of Saemon. |
| 43933 We may need his ship for our return. No, just be on your guard. He is probably the least of our worries in this place. |
| 43934 I fear I cannot allow you to leave my presence just yet. While I must admit to a certain fondness for you all... I have little choice in what I must do. |
| 43935 I do not like the tone of your voice. What do you intend? |
| 43936 Save your words! I did not trust you from the start! I am ready for your treachery! |
| 43937 What? Why such an obvious ambush? You have my gold already. |
| 43938 My apologies, as I said. This was not my intention at all, but one must do what good business dictates. |
| 43939 You will recognize those that face you now. I do hope they make short work of this encounter; I have no tolerance for violence, really. |
| 43940 I knew he would prove treacherous. Our threats were sufficient to keep us safe while afloat, but there must be someone here that he fears even more. |
| 43941 Certainly this was Bodhi's doing. These creatures would not have followed Saemon of their own will. His weakness would disgust them. |
| 43942 Unfortunately, he fled the battle. I shall be sure to repay him if I see him again. |
| 43943 We should find him, track him to his lair! He has earned his death from this! |
| 43944 Forget him. I have no fear of him or any scheme he might come up with. |
| 43945 There are more important things to worry about right now anyway. I must see that you are able to enter the asylum. |
| 43946 Go to the tavern. Speak with a man named Sanik. If there is a way in to the asylum, he will know it. |
| 43947 I will scout around a bit and meet you at the pass leading to the asylum itself. Work with haste, <CHARNAME>. Our enemies know we are here. |
| 43948 How goes your search, <CHARNAME>? Have you found means to enter the building yet? |
| 43949 The search has not gone well. I do not know how to get inside. |
| 43950 Sanik refused to speak without payment. I cannot afford his price. |
| 43951 I believe so. A man named Golin gave me a couple of options. |
| 43952 I have a ward token that will unlock the gates. |
| 43953 I have not learned much either. Go to Sanik and speak with him. He will have some information, I am sure. |
| 43954 I would go myself, but I am... known to some of these people. Our stay would be short if I were recognized. |
| 43955 Sanik refused to speak without payment. I cannot afford his price. |
| 43956 Always did have a mercenary's heart. I probably helped him cut it out. Nevertheless, here. Take this. It should be enough to pay him off. |
| 43957 Oh no, you've already told me this. I gave you more than enough to pay him off. That was out of my own pocket, too. |
| 43958 No, you go and pay him or find some other means to enter this place. I can't help you much more than that. Try the Cowled Wizard or some such. |
| 43959 Then act on them. Your entry is in there somewhere. |
| 43960 Then get going. I'll try and get a message to Aran about what has happened. Perhaps we can get some help now that the way is clear. |
| 43962 A loud gong sounds, and you fear you may have failed in the task that the drow has given you. |
| 43963 This magical lock will only open for a specific key. No amount of tinkering will help. |

| 44010 Go away. The Pirate Lord sees no one without appointment. |
| 44011 I have urgent business to discuss with him. Captain Golin referred me. |
| 44012 Saemon Havarian said I might find what I need here. |
| 44013 How does one get an appointment? |
| 44014 "One" gets an appointment by being worthy of it! Ain't just anyone that can get in here! Gotta be referred here by someone he knows. |
| 44015 Unless... |
| 44016 Unless you care to pad my palm. I might be able to get you in. Maybe. Possibly. What say you? |
| 44017 And how much would this cost? |
| 44018 Is there no one here that speaks for free? What is YOUR damnable price? |
| 44019 Uh... okay... how about 300? You willing to pay that? |
| 44020 But I have urgent business to discuss with him. Captain Golin referred me. |
| 44021 But Saemon Havarian said I might find what I need here. |
| 44022 All right, I'll pay the stupid price. Just get the door open. |
| 44023 I cannot afford that. |
| 44024 And what if I don't pay? What then? |
| 44025 Well, I guess you don't get in. You push it, and I'll have to make you sorry. That's kinda my job as the door guard. Get lost. |
| 44026 What? Hey, sure, you bet. Usually, people just go find someone to name-drop, but if you want to pay, go right in. Just made my wage for the season! |
| 44027 Golin. He's in good stead. You musta impressed him, or paid him well. All right, you can go in, but don't make trouble or out you go. |
| 44028 Saemon? Saemon Havarian? Uh, all right, you can go in if you really want to. |
| 44029 You're okay by me, friend. Go where you want. |
| 44030 You can go in, but I don't know why you would. Ain't smart claiming friendship with Saemon Havarian. |
| 44031 Golin is a good one. If he said you could come through here, chances are you will be of interest to Desharik. |
| 44032 What is the meaning of this intrusion? Who are you? |
| 44033 I am <CHARNAME>. I paid your door guard for a meeting with you. |
| 44034 I am <CHARNAME>. Saemon Havarian suggested I speak with you. |
| 44035 <CHARNAME> is my name. I was referred by Captain Golin. |
| 44036 I see. He's a shrewd one then, as I usually see any who are referred by someone I know. Well, you are here. What is it that you want? |
| 44037 Saemon... Havarian... That name is not one that I am fond of. A scoundrel of the lowest order, I should think. |
| 44038 Tell me, why should I not have you killed where you stand? It is the fate in store of Saemon. What do you want here? |
| 44039 The altar has been cleaned and inscribed by Mazzy. It now stands as a monument to her brave companions, who gave their lives in an attempt to defeat the Shade Lord. |
| 44040 No! No, you don't want to kill me. You want... to send me to Spellhold! |
| 44041 Note from Imnesvale |
| 44042 Golin? Why would he send you to me? What is it that you think you want here? |
| 44043 I need to gain entrance to the asylum. Can you help me? |
| 44044 I need you to send me to Spellhold! I must be sent there! |
| 44045 I seek entry to the asylum. Can you help with this? |
| 44046 I must be sent to Spellhold! I cannot be allowed to run loose! |
| 44047 I require entry to the asylum. Could you help? |
| 44048 Spellhold? Why would you want to go there? Hardly a sociable place for decent folk. |
| 44049 I seek a friend that is trapped there. Please help me release her. |
| 44050 All you need to know is that I wish to go there. I will pay for your help. |
| 44051 A friend is there. I would storm the place and kill her captors! |
| 44052 I... I need to be admitted. I need... I need help. I need to be confined. |
| 44053 I have a nice relationship with those that run the asylum. They provide a great deal of protection for this port and the ships that dock here. |
| 44054 I have no interest in angering them and no interest in releasing people that may well belong there. Your pleas are worthless to me. Leave me. |
| 44055 Fine! Do not help! Have me committed instead! I will go mad if I cannot get in! |
| 44056 I will pay for your assistance. |
| 44057 Do not make me stoop to threats. Help me. |
| 44058 I have no interest in your gold. The security of my position on this island is worth more in the long run. No, helping you holds no benefit. |
| 44059 You will not have to stoop if I remove your legs. Do not attack when you are not in the better tactical position. My guards are all around us. |
| 44060 Then have me committed! I would have to be insane to threaten you! |
| 44061 Please, I will pay for your help. |
| 44062 Ihtafeer's Head |
| 44063 Please, I seek to release a friend of mine. |
| 44064 If you will not help, then have me committed! I will go mad if I get no help! |
| 44065 You wish me to have you thrown into the asylum? That is certainly an odd request, though not in itself an indication of madness. |
| 44066 Mantle of Waukeen |
| 44067 You seek to release a patient, so you are a threat to my allies in Spellhold. I will not allow it, and I will tell the Cowled Wizards of your intention. Get out. |
| 44068 Do not make me stoop to threats. Help me. |
| 44069 I seek the release of a friend of mine. She must be free of the place. |
| 44070 What are you trying to accomplish? I can indeed have people committed to Spellhold, but why would you request it? |
| 44071 You are clearly a threat to those that run the asylum... and as such are a danger to my security. Leave this island before I have you removed! This ultimatum is the only charity you will receive from me. |
| 44072 Because I have a friend that is held there. I must get in to rescue her. |
| 44073 I am clearly deranged. Look who I travel with! Minsc, meet the Pirate Lord! |
| 44074 Because I must be confined. I can feel myself losing my grip on reality. |
| 44075 Pirate Lord? Such a name does not conjure images of righteous behavior. Stand still a moment and let Boo have a look at you. |
| 44076 Er, why is your friend pointing a hamster at me? |
| 44077 Boo will soon have you figured out. You certainly seem friendlier than I would think a Pirate Lord would be. And where is your peg? |
| 44078 My... what? |
| 44079 Your peg. A proper pirate has a peg, whether a leg, arm or... uh... some other expendable extremity. And a parrot. |
| 44080 A parrot? |
| 44081 Certainly! As I have my Boo, so too must you have your parrot. Boo likes parrots. They could wrassel. |
| 44082 I've seen enough. Congratulations, you are on your way to Spellhold. You are clearly a danger to the general community. |
| 44083 By the gods, I think I'm stupider for talking to you. Stupider? More stupid? Get them out of my sight, all of them. They may all have his disease of the mind. |
| 44084 And this makes you a threat to yourself? I know a great deal of people that do not know their arse from a hole in the ground. They function reasonably well. |
| 44085 I have delusions! I dream of godhood, that my father was a deity! |
| 44086 Look, I'll level with you. A friend of mine is being held there. Please help me. |
| 44087 But look at the company I keep! Minsc! Meet the Pirate Lord! |
| 44088 Do you now? I am no student of the mind, but perhaps these are just your wishes to become more than you are? |
| 44089 I feel as though I am in a fight for myself! Like I must battle my own thoughts! |
| 44090 Minsc! Tell the Pirate Lord how much I should be in the asylum! |
| 44091 I wish to be nothing! I am mad, I tell you! Mad! Send me to the blasted asylum! |
| 44092 Well now, that would seem alarming. You certainly seem convinced of this. |
| 44093 No, I'm not believing this. You are raving, but it seems calculated to me. Likely you bear a grudge against the asylum and seek entry to wreak havoc. |
| 44094 You lack the presence to promote your lies. Pathetic, but an amusing tale to tell my woman. I'm leaving, but my men will be watching to make sure you stay in line. |
| 44095 Convinced? I am lost within it! I am the child of a god, and I will destroy you all! |
| 44096 Convinced? I am lost within it! I am the child of a god, and I will destroy you all! |
| 44097 Convinced? Minsc, tell the Pirate Lord how convinced I am! |
| 44098 Your raving would seem forced coming from a less charismatic person, but you certainly seem genuinely distraught. All right then, I shall do as you ask. |
| 44099 You will not be grateful for long, however. I would not call Spellhold an adequate place for healing. Still, if it is your wish. |
| 44100 It is! It is! |
| 44101 Actually, perhaps I should think about this. |
| 44102 Then that is where you will go, along with any that traveled with you in case they share your sickness. May the gods protect you, because no one else will. |
| 44103 Think about it? A moment ago, you were raving and desperate; now you wish to think? I believe you are trying to trick me. |
| 44104 If you are not genuinely ill, then you plot against the asylum, and I cannot allow that. Leave before I have you removed. Now excuse me, I must meet a lady friend. |
| 44105 Is it time once again for the experiments? I await your instruction, warden. |
| 44106 You! Are you of the Cowled Wizards? I demand something from you! |
| 44107 Hello there. I am <CHARNAME>, and I have some things to ask you. |
| 44108 I wonder if I might have a moment of your time? I seek information. |
| 44109 ...<CHARNAME>? <CHARNAME>? |
| 44110 <CHARNAME>! If the subject is encountered, do not hesitate to test <PRO_HISHER> limits! These are valuable parameters for study! |
| 44111 Test of limits. Yes, test of limits! |
| 44112 He looks... odd. It is as though his will is not his own. Be careful, I don't think he's thinking for himself. |
| 44113 This isn't right. I don't think he's in control of himself. Maybe dominated or... something? |
| 44114 This fool is not thinking for himself. A stronger mind has dominated his. Look at his eyes. |
| 44115 Now settle down. Are you in control of yourself? Perhaps I can help you. |
| 44116 Quit speaking in riddles, you Cowled bastard! Where is Imoen?! |
| 44117 Hello. I am here with <CHARNAME>, and I have some things to ask you. |
| 44118 Demand? No, no one demands except the warden. Demands... |
| 44119 A moment? No, all the moments are together. All together and with another. I have no moments. |
| 44120 You are... you are in the company... with <CHARNAME>. The likenesses of who to recognize... have been given to me... in my head. |
| 44121 Proceed to the recreation area. Enjoy your time out; you go back under key when night comes. |
| 44122 What is this place? |
| 44123 No, I don't belong here. I'm just here looking for someone else. |
| 44124 Who are you? |
| 44125 What is this place? Strange question coming from you. It was my understanding that you wanted to be confined here. |
| 44126 But I suppose you ARE out of your mind, so I will explain. This is Spellhold, I am Lonk, you are an inmate, and this is recreation time. Frolic, if you please. |
| 44127 You really have no idea how often I hear that, do you? Of course you belong here. It was my understanding that you requested being here. |
| 44128 I am Lonk, Lonk the Sane. The surname is not my given, but it certainly serves to keep things straight around here. Now frolic as you will. This is recreation time. |
| 44129 You will find this time is the most relaxing of the day. Examinations may follow, and you will want to be well-rested. |
| 44130 Who are all of these people here? |
| 44131 What is your job here? |
| 44132 Do you know of an inmate named Imoen? |
| 44133 Mages mostly, driven insane by the energy they tried to unleash, or the energy they were made to unleash once here. Result is the same. |
| 44134 Of course, some were a little crazy to begin with. I think you have to be crazy to be a wizard. Too much energy in the head. |
| 44135 And your job here? |
| 44136 Do you know of an inmate named Imoen? |
| 44137 Thank you. I guess I'll join the others. |
| 44138 How does someone get out of here? |
| 44139 How does someone get out of here? |
| 44140 My job? Taking care of crazies like you. Making sure you don't go and hurt yourselves with your deviant powers. And cookies, I make cookies. |
| 44141 And all of these people? Who are they? |
| 44142 Do you know of an inmate named Imoen? |
| 44143 How does someone get out of here? |
| 44144 Thank you. I guess I'll join the others. |
| 44145 Imoen? I think so. Hard to say. There is a girl here that used to answer to that. Don't think she remembers it anymore. |
| 44146 She's down the hall. Be careful though; she almost killed two other inmates the other day. She's got a vicious streak that is downright scary. |
| 44147 And your job here? |
| 44148 Who are all of these people here? |
| 44149 How does someone get out of here? |
| 44150 Thank you. I guess I'll join the others. |
| 44151 The quick way? Dying. Actually, so far that's been the only way. Unless you have friends high up in government. Otherwise, get used to the place. |
| 44152 Who are all of these people here? |
| 44153 What is your job here? |
| 44154 Do you know of an inmate named Imoen? |
| 44155 Thank you. I guess I'll join the others. |
| 44156 You go do that, and try to relax. The warden will be by soon enough. Then cookies. |
| 44157 Do you know of an inmate by the name of Irenicus? |
| 44158 Do you know of an inmate by the name of Irenicus? |
| 44159 Do you know of an inmate by the name of Irenicus? |
| 44160 Do you know of an inmate by the name of Irenicus? |
| 44161 Do you know of an inmate by the name of Irenicus? |
| 44162 Irenicus? How do you know that name? Hmm, no matter. You'll be seeing him soon enough. He sees everybody. |
| 44163 Who are all of these people here? |
| 44164 And your job here? |
| 44165 Do you know of an inmate named Imoen? |
| 44166 How does someone get out of here? |
| 44167 Thank you. I guess I'll join the others. |
| 44168 Try to stop pestering me. It's hard enough keeping an eye on all of these weaving robes of spellcasters. |
| 44169 Oh, please try to stay away from Wanev. He's very excitable. Still sore about losing his position here. I tell him he shouldn't dwell on it, but he's quite inconsolable. |
| 44170 Whoâ€â€who... who is that? Keep back... Keep back! |
| 44171 Imoen, it's <CHARNAME>. I'm here to rescue you. Do you remember? |
| 44172 Stop fooling around, Imoen, I don't have time for it. |
| 44173 You don't remember, Imoen? What about Minsc? Remember Minsc and Boo? |
| 44174 You must remember Jaheira. Come on, Imoen, do you recognize her? |
| 44175 Who is Imoen? I don't know that name. I don't know that name! She's not here! |
| 44176 Little Imoen, it is Minsc. See, here's Boo... Boo, stop that. It's Imoen. Sure she looks a bit... stressed, but it's still her. |
| 44177 I don't know what's wrong. Boo is all jittery. Something is different about Imoen. |
| 44178 She seems distant. Those are not Imoen's eyes. Not the one we knew, anyway. |
| 44179 Get away from me! I'll... I'll kill you! I'll rip your eyes from your filthy faces! Do not tempt my wrath! Do not... |
| 44180 I... she's not here. I do not know that... name. |
| 44181 You just rest, Imoen. I'll get you out of here. I swear it. |
| 44182 Damn that Irenicus. This is his doing. I'll see him dead for this. |
| 44183 Well, that was interesting. Somehow I envisioned our reunion as more... heroic. |
| 44184 I see... yes... I see... She's not here... Someone else will come... |
| 44185 *groan* I will... see death... come... Oh, so empty inside. I feel... I feel weak... |
| 44186 Hello! You are new. Those your faces? Funny. Ha! Maybe change them. |
| 44187 What is your name, young one? |
| 44188 Trademeet Tomb Key |
| 44189 What do you mean by "change them"? What's wrong with my face? |
| 44190 I'm Dili today. Tomorrow, I'll be something else. Who are you today? |
| 44191 <GABBER> is my name. |
| 44192 Ah, maybe I'll just let you enjoy your break here. |
| 44193 <GABBER>? Okay, I'll be <GABBER> tomorrow. I've seen you, so now I can take your face. Don't worry, you can keep it too. |
| 44194 Nothing. Don't you change your face? That's okay, I'll take it and change it for you. Don't worry, you can keep it too. Who are you today? |
| 44195 <GABBER> is my name. |
| 44196 Ah, maybe I'll just let you enjoy your break here. |
| 44197 I like taking puppy's face, but it scares him. He's not here though. |
| 44198 Shouldn't walk away from people. Harder to give your face back if I take it. I should know your name, too. I should know... |
| 44199 What?! What do you want? Stand up straight! I want that report by dawn! I want this hall cleaned! Don't you stare at me! |
| 44200 You are now beginning the tutorial for Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. This is a simple walk-through of some of the basic skills you will need to play and enjoy the game. Once the tutorial area has loaded, an NPC (non-player character) will guide you through fighting monsters, casting spells, the use of thieving abilities, and some of the more common interactions you will experience in the game world. If you have played the original Baldur's Gate, you may already be familiar with many of these functions, though the tutorial is still a convenient way to refamiliarize yourself with the interface in a safe environment. |
| 44201 Most who take up the trade of murder for hire do so for reasons other than personal pleasure, but not so the Lady Demarche. She took special pleasure in the torture of her targets... which is why she made this dagger. With but one touch of its polished blade, an opponent was rendered immobile, incapable of so much as screaming, yet the victim could watch and feel all that happened to them. While her opponent was thus held, the Lady would slowly bleed them, sometimes taking several hours before allowing her subject to succumb to the final agony of death. The Lady finally fell victim to her own evil; disarmed by a rival and struck by her own stiletto, her fate was soon sealed. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – 20% chance per hit that the target must save vs. Death or be held for 2 rounds THAC0: +2 Damage: 1d4+2 (piercing) Speed Factor: 0 Proficiency Type: Dagger Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 1 |
| 44202 Darsidian Moor |
| 44203 Hehehehehehe! It's all right. Tired of working here, wanted a holiday, was thinking of retiring, probably going to die! Time to move on under down... down down. |
| 44204 Relax, I just wanted to ask you a few things. |
| 44205 Did you just say that you used to work here? Why are you with the inmates? |
| 44206 Shut up! No questions! Make an appointment! The Coordinator speaks to no one! No one... speaks the Coordinator... |
| 44207 He rules all, he does! You?! Ohâ€â€you are but the left bunion of his wondrous idol! You be grateful for the chance! |
| 44208 Tiax rules all from this throne room! You are all servants of his majesty, even as you feign ignorance! |
| 44209 Tiax? Is that you? I haven't seen you in ages. What have you been up to? |
| 44210 Oh great, I thought I was rid of this ridiculous gnome back in Baldur's Gate. |
| 44211 The heavens move because he waves his hand! The waters stir as he twiddles his toes! The wind blows as he passes! And on a whim, he can break them all. |
| 44212 World domination goes well then, does it? Good to hear. Goodbye. Don't write. |
| 44213 Shut up, you ridiculous creature! Can you see how small you are?! |
| 44214 If you are so powerful, why don't you leave this place? |
| 44215 Tiax takes no notice! Go and spread word of his mighty stature! Tiax rules all! Just ask 'im, and you shall see. |
| 44216 Ahe-hem... er... huh... |
| 44217 ...um... hmm... |
| 44218 I trust you have good reason to be entering this place? It's <CHARNAME>, isn't it? |
| 44219 You know my name? How? |
| 44220 Spare your words! I am here for Imoen! Where is she?! |
| 44221 You made inquiries in town. I have agents and eyes. Security is quite important when dealing with an institution such as this. |
| 44222 I know why you have come; you have been observed since you arrived on the isle. No doubt you are brimming with concern for your "Imoen." |
| 44223 She is in good health, and if you will permit me, I will direct you to her. This is not a prison, but an institution of healing... and learning. |
| 44224 Then release her to me. |
| 44225 Then why the overzealous security measures? |
| 44226 She was taken here against her will! |
| 44227 It is not as simple as that, though it never is, is it? Still, I'm sure you will understand more once I have explained. |
| 44228 Perhaps at first, for her own safety. The incident she was involved with was violent and distressing, and she needed help. |
| 44229 We deal with dangerous subjects. Imoen was brought here for her own safety, and it would not do for her to be endangered while here, would it? |
| 44230 Please, you have worked so hard to come here. Allow me to show you what I mean. I shall let you examine the facilities, and Imoen, for yourself. |
| 44231 Lead on then, but I shall be wary of any treachery. |
| 44232 Take me to her now! I will not tolerate any delays! |
| 44233 Darsidian Moor |
| 44234 Well, it would seem that my visitor has awakened! It is as I predicted. It all has been. |
| 44235 This crude dwelling is perched precariously over the abyss below. |
| 44237 This way, <CHARNAME>. I will explain as we go. |
| 44238 The Residence for the Magically Deviant houses many people, all of whom can benefit from a structured environment. |
| 44239 They can also be studied, such that what they are capable of is understood better. Take young Dili here. She was cast from her family for her talents. |
| 44240 At a remarkably young age, she learned how to shape magical energy, allowing her to change her form as she wishes. |
| 44241 Have you a new face today? I think you do. I can see the real one. Tomorrow, I will be you, okay? |
| 44242 Here, she is safe, and others have learned something of what she does. It is invaluable information. |
| 44243 This is Wanev. He used to be the asylum coordinator before I took the post. Too much exposure to magical forces, I suspect. |
| 44244 What?! What do you want?! Is this not enough? I want this hall cleaned! Don't you stare at me! |
| 44245 His mind could not handle the energies that circulate this place. A bad reaction to a particular spell unhinged him quite dramatically. |
| 44246 No one foresaw it, but with study, we can prevent it happening again. His career is over though. |
| 44247 This is Naljier Skal. Once a great bard of some repute, though now he is little more than a child. |
| 44248 I fear I have had an advantage over you; I have planned your coming from the start. It could be no other way. |
| 44249 A bit of treachery by Saemon and a spell component goes into a soup or some other dish. Undetectable, and nothing more than a seasoning until my casting. |
| 44250 But don't worryâ€â€you won't have to think about any of this or that. Your life ends today. |
| 44251 What are you doing, Irenicus?! What is all of this? |
| 44252 Release me! I will kill you, I swear it! |
| 44253 Where is Imoen?! What have you done to her?! |
| 44254 What do you mean, "squandered by the genies"? |
| 44255 I thought Trademeet only had fair business dealings. |
| 44256 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 44257 No, thanks. |
| 44258 Begone with you, thief, lest I call the guard! |
| 44259 Well... heh... have ye nae tried to buy anythin' from the local merchants? Ye'll find them a little low on their stock, my friend. |
| 44260 All legitimate sources o' goods have been bribed by them genies to supply them alone. Loaded with gold, them genies... wish I could get me hands on it all... |
| 44261 I thought there was only fair business in Trademeet. |
| 44262 Well, let me see what you have, then. |
| 44263 I'll be on my way. |
| 44264 Hm. May have been that way once here, but that was when Waukeen was still alive, aye? With her gone, anythin's fair game in Trademeet. |
| 44265 What did you mean "squandered by the genies"? |
| 44266 I see. Let me see what you have, then. |
| 44267 I'm on my way, then. |
| 44268 Good, good. Always on th' lookout for reasonable customers, I am... |
| 44269 As ye wish, then. Try an' buy from the genies, if that's yer pleasure. |
| 44270 No need t' be hasty... I'll leave ye well enough alone... |
| 44271 Hmph. Now that th' bloody genies are up an' gone, me business has more than halved. Ah well, I suppose it was either that or th' folk here got starved out of house an' home, aye? |
| 44272 So what about it, friend? Ye be wishin' to buy some not-so-legitimate goods from a down on 'is luck Shadow Thief, hmm? |
| 44273 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 44274 No, thanks. |
| 44275 Begone from my sight, thief, lest I call the guard! |
| 44276 Excellent! Perhaps I am not done for just yet! |
| 44277 Well, I figured as much. So be it. |
| 44278 By faith an' begorrah, ye'll nae be stayin' here long, methinks. Have ye no ken o' what th' attacks be all about? Have ye nae seen the animals as they mass an' launch themselves on us? |
| 44279 I be one that stays in the shadows, by sure, but that be nae o' any use when the bloody rats themselves come huntin' for ye with their eyes aglow. |
| 44280 The people here are frightened... an' if ye be a stranger, they'll be all th' more frightened o' you. Best ye be on yer way. |
| 44281 Clangeddin's axe! If that don't be the druid arrested in the street not two weeks ago, I'll be an addled dwarf, I will! Ye be fools t' parade him about! Begone with him! |
| 44282 Well, it be fine an' well that ye've taken care o' the assault o' nature on this town... but I will nae be joinin' in the celebration. With them genies hoardin' the gold, me trade is a mite constricted, aye? |
| 44283 Aye, ye've taken care o' the druids, just as everyone does be sayin'. There be little for me to be doin', however, an' no one to practice on so long as them genies keeps all the merchants poor. |
| 44284 A fine day it be, an' ye certainly do be deservin' o' the heroic title! Good job, <MANWOMAN>! Ye've saved th' ailing career of a dwarven cutpurse, ye have! |
| 44285 Aye, I'll buy ye a drink in the tavern, if ye has the time! Ye've done a fine thing here, restorin' this town to its glory. A fine, fine thing! |
| 44286 Yes, I believe that you would. I can't blame you, really, not when I wish the death of others for similar reasons. A pity one of us must be denied. |
| 44287 Hmm. I'll have t' be a mite more careful now, aye? With the militia no longer distracted by yon forest beasts, they'll be on the lookout for such as me, ye can be sure of that! |
| 44288 That is not for you to know. Suffice to say that I regret what must occur. I know the rage you will feel once I am done. I seek the death of others for similar reasons. |
| 44289 Don't worry, Imoen has already suffered what she must for my cause. She even survived, and this bodes well for you. You are stronger, more focused, and you are *aware*. |
| 44290 You're just asking for trouble bringing that druid in here, and I don't want any part of it. I'll ask you nicely, now, to leave my inn peaceably before there's any damage. |
| 44291 Greetings to you, strangers. We don't get many travelers here, with the troubles and all. I'll be happy to offer you a room, but you'd best keep yourself as low profile as possible. I don't want any trouble here. |
| 44292 What do you know about what's going on here? |
| 44293 Do you have any supplies for sale? |
| 44294 Do you have any supplies for sale? |
| 44295 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 44296 I'll be on my way. |
| 44297 About as much as you do, I'd expect. The inn's been pretty quiet since the attacks started gearing up... at first, there was just some odd occurrences: a bear attack, some hungry wolves, and the like. |
| 44298 Since then, there's been masses of creatures that have assaulted the walls, and the militia can barely keep up. People have been getting quite out of hand with their fear. |
| 44299 There's been stories of hooded figures amongst the animals, and everyone thinks that means the druids have turned against us. Don't know why... we've always gotten on well enough with the grove. |
| 44300 But there's no explaining that to folks, not when their lives are in danger. They saw a druid during the last attack and would have stoned him to death had Lord Coprith not arrested him. |
| 44301 He might be dead yet, if people have their way. I don't know what Lord Coprith is going to do with him... or how long he can keep up with these attacks. People will start leaving soon, I think. |
| 44302 Can't say that I do... but, then, I can't say that anyone does around here. If Waukeen were alive, she'd be sad to see the state that Trademeet's come to. |
| 44303 The goddess had established Trademeet to be a place of fair business only, where shady deals were punished and such. No thieves, no liars, no fraud. |
| 44304 Now, we not only have thieves here, but a group of genies has camped outside of the gates and swallowed all the local business... bribed all the caravans, I understand. |
| 44305 No end to their gold... and they charge an arm and a leg for a loaf of bread, so the town's being starved out, you see. Waukeen would have stopped them. Now, not even Lord Coprith can do anything. |
| 44306 What else do you know about what's going on around here? |
| 44307 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 44308 I'll be on my way. |
| 44309 I don't... but since them genies are gone now, I suppose the local peddlers will have been restocked. You can find them around, and they should have everything you need, friend. |
| 44310 What do you know about what's going on in town? |
| 44311 I'd like to see your services. |
| 44312 I'll be going. |
| 44313 Well, there isn't much to be had right now... but you're welcome to some ale and a clean room. I certainly have lots of them available right now, that's for sure. |
| 44314 I'll be here if you need me again, friend. |
| 44315 Do you have any supplies for sale? |
| 44316 Do you have any supplies for sale? |
| 44317 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 44318 I'll be on my way. |
| 44319 Well, if it isn't the heroes who have saved the town! Well met, my <LADYLORD>! Do come in and have a seat... you are more than welcome in Vyatri's inn! What can I do for you? |
| 44320 What can you tell me about the feud between the Lurraxols and the Alibakkars? |
| 44321 What's the story with this haunted tomb? |
| 44322 What do you know about these genies? |
| 44323 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 44324 Nothing. I'll be going. |
| 44325 Ahhhh, both of those families are fools. Rich fools. Nobody but them really cares which is the true founding family... and if Lord Logan is correct, they stem from the same family anyway. |
| 44326 But they'll never believe that. Their relations and guards have been battling for many years, sometimes to open violence. One of these days, they will take it too far. |
| 44327 What's the story with this haunted tomb? |
| 44328 What do you know about these genies? |
| 44329 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 44330 I'll be on my way. |
| 44331 Hmmm, now that is a good question. The tomb in our graveyard has been abandoned for many, many years. The stories say that an evil wizard was locked in there while he was alive, and there he died. |
| 44332 The town waited months to reopen the tomb, and when they did, the corpse of the wizard vowed revenge and tried to escape. The priests of Waukeen turned him within and resealed the tomb. |
| 44333 And so it has remained. Personally, I give the stories short shrift... there's never been as much as a peep from that tomb, and it is a small thing within, I am told. |
| 44334 But you would not find me venturing within, that is for sure, eh? |
| 44335 What can you tell me about the feud between the Lurraxols and the Alibakkars? |
| 44336 What do you know about these genies? |
| 44337 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 44338 I'll be on my way. |
| 44339 Little enough. They call themselves the Dao, and when they came, they set up their tents and demanded from the High Merchant Lord Coprith that a rakshasa be found and turned over to them. |
| 44340 A rakshasa, I am told, is an evil creature who changes shapes and feeds off the flesh of people. How Lord Coprith is supposed to find one I am not sure. |
| 44341 Apparently, though, the genies seem to think he can do it. And they've bought up all the supplies and business in the meantime to starve us out until he does. |
| 44342 What can you tell me about the feud between the Lurraxols and the Alibakkars? |
| 44343 What's the story with this haunted tomb? |
| 44344 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 44345 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 44346 Of course! Anything for the heroes of Trademeet! |
| 44347 As you wish, my friend. See you soon, I hope. |
| 44348 Hello there! You're adventurers, aren't you? I want to be an adventurer! |
| 44349 Where'd you get that cloak? I want one! |
| 44350 I like that sword! Do you have to sharpen it? |
| 44351 Can you sign my shirt? |
| 44352 Are you gonna kill the druids? Can I watch? |
| 44353 I killed a rabid rabbit! I'm experienced now! |
| 44354 Have you been many places? Mind if I tag along? |
| 44355 People say I ask too many questions. Do you think so, too? |
| 44356 What's a cleric? |
| 44357 Do you have to study spells? Can I see one? |
| 44358 We should go find Waukeen! That'd be a great adventure! |
| 44359 Have you ever seen a dragon? WOW! |
| 44360 I want to see Athkatla! I hear the streets are made of gold! |
| 44361 I wanna go to the Underdark! I've heard there's cool stuff there! |
| 44362 Have you killed the genies? I can go tell them that you're gonna! |
| 44363 You aren't going to throw rocks at me now, are you? |
| 44364 You've been really nice to me. I'll give you some rocks that other people threw at me. You just gotta promise not to throw 'em. Here. |
| 44365 If you're bringing that druid in here, you can forget being served! Out you go! |
| 44366 Hmph. You're probably working for those druids and have come to kill us all, haven't you? Weellll, I suppose if Vyatri's willing to serve you, I can too. |
| 44367 Greetings to you, patron. This is Vyatri's inn, and I'm willing to serve you your drinks so long as there's no groping, pinching, or other unpleasantness. |
| 44368 I suppose you folk are heroes or something, hm? Well, that won't get you your drinks any faster. Sit down, I suppose... or talk to Vyatri. |
| 44369 You look familiar... do you know Mazzy Fentan? She's a famous adventurer from here in town. I think maybe she's mentioned you. |
| 44370 Mazzy Fentan is our best adventuress... a real fighter, and that's something... for a halfling. She grew up here, you know. |
| 44371 If you folk are so brave, why don't you do something about those genies? Then we could get some real wine here again for once. |
| 44372 All anyone does now is complain about those genies. Food's becoming scarce... I suppose there's no pleasing people, is there? |
| 44373 Begone with you, rabble. There are enough problems in this town without you ruffians adding to things, do you not agree? |
| 44375 You seem like an agreeable enough sort of <MANWOMAN>... but with these attacks on the town, one can never be sure. I would rather we did not speak. |
| 44376 My name is Lady Merana, and I am awaiting a gentleman here. I am sure that is no business of yours, however. |
| 44377 Hmmm... I am waiting for a particular gentleman friend, but if you are so inclined, I would be more than willing to spend the evening with such a handsome man as yourself... |
| 44378 I already have company, sir, which I am waiting for. Please do not embarrass yourself by making overtures which will only certainly be rebuffed. Hmph. |
| 44379 Oh, how do you do, miss? I understand you and your companions are some kind of heroes, yes? That is all very... interesting, I suppose. |
| 44380 What cheek! How dare a disgusting ruffian like yourself make advances on a noblewoman! Oo! |
| 44381 *hic* Yeah, I used t' be an adventurer... like yerself, o' course. 'Cept that I had the ladies flockin' to me allll the time... yeah... *hic* |
| 44382 There was this one time... *hic*... my party and I were travelin' through the elven woods down in, uh, Tethyr. *hic* We got drunk with a whole group o' elves... *hic* |
| 44383 And... and... my party once fought a powerful lich! *hic* Yup... boy, he was tough. *hic* We ran like a flock o' frightened chickens, we did... *hic*... no, wait, uh, we fought 'im! Yeah, we fought 'im! |
| 44384 I betcha I was a better fighter 'an you when I was an adventurer. *hic* |
| 44385 If I was younger... *hic*... an' sober... *hic*... I could kick yer butt... |
| 44386 Heeeey, baby... *hic*... y'know, I was a great adventurer once. Betcha I could give you aaaallll kinds of advice, yup. *hic* |
| 44387 Why don't ye sit down next t' me, darlin'? *hic* |
| 44388 Lemme tell you about this time me an' my fellow adventurers... *hic*... we decapitated an ogre, we did! Yup! We were mighty strong... *hic* |
| 44389 How about I buy ye an ale, darlin'? *hic* |
| 44390 Aaahhh... lemme alone... *hic*... can't a man drink in peace, aye? *hic* |
| 44391 Lliira's patience! You bring that... that... DRUID... in here?! |
| 44392 I came here to listen to Alenina's music, and that be all. It is one of few pleasures we have, with the town practically under siege. |
| 44393 You are one of the adventurers that dealt with the druids, yes? I am thankful, then. Perhaps the streets will be safer now when I return to my home. |
| 44394 Trademeet will not be safe for long anyway, I think. You have heard of the Sythillisian Empire, yes? My cousin tells me we will be overrun by ogres and orcs within a month or so. |
| 44395 There are far more things to fear in the forest beside the druids alone. Be cautious, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am told such things as werewolves and giants wander the land lately. |
| 44396 A good friend of mine recently went to buy a potion from the witch who lives near the druid grove... and she hasn't come back. I do hope she was not attacked by the animals. |
| 44397 My husband is in the militia, and he told me they found someone in the town with his skin flayed from his bones... you do not think an animal was responsible for that, do you? |
| 44398 Bah! Begone from my sight and take that old man druid with you 'ere I gather up another group of locals and finish the job we started! |
| 44399 You be a stranger, <SIRMAAM>. I'll tell ye quick that we don't be trustin' strangers here any longer. |
| 44400 Fair enough. Ye've proven yerself, stoppin' them druids an' all. Ye be welcome enough here in town, if it be up t' me. |
| 44401 So the druids are back to their normal selves, are they? I never cared for them an' their like anyway. They should stay in the forest and be silent. |
| 44402 Ah, the druids be not our only problem. It is just the first of many, I'm afraid. But ye've done well enough, bein' adventurers and all. |
| 44403 Did ye know that some animals were skinnin' their victims? Aye... a friend in the militia says he's found three bodies in an' out o' town, all with their skins missin'. Tsk. |
| 44404 I be only here t' drink an' listen to the lady play. If ye wish an ale, speak to Vyatri, aye? |
| 44405 Greetings, strangers. I play what melodies I can to calm the folk of this town, but to tell it truthfully, it is not an easy task... the fear here fills the air like a sickness. |
| 44406 I am Alenina, a minstrel from Tethyr. If you are traveling further south, you may wish to reconsider. I had difficulty passing the Sythillisian lines myself, and now it would be even less likely to do so. |
| 44407 As a bard, I am usually welcomed wherever I travel... but this has been one place where even I am looked upon with suspicion. Amn appears to be a nation in difficulty, I would think. |
| 44408 These people would do well to look upon the druids with less suspicion than they do. Even if the druids are at fault, they do not know the full story. Such has ever been the tale of simple folk, I fear. |
| 44409 Aware? Aware of what? |
| 44410 So you used her relationship with me to get me here, but why torture her? |
| 44411 You want me because I am a child of Bhaal. Let her go and then we'll talk. |
| 44412 I am told that you are one of those responsible for aiding this town in its time of need. I congratulate you on your courage. I am Alenina, a bard... I intend to write your tale into song, if I may. |
| 44413 You... are the one who performed those deeds up in the Sword Coast, yes? I thought you seemed familiar. I have heard a few wondrous tales passed from a fellow bard named Garrick. |
| 44414 Would you care to sit and listen to me play? I am but a poor bard... so any few coins you might wish to give to show your appreciation would not be snubbed. |
| 44415 Aaaaah! Strangers! Strangers! |
| 44416 My mum says the genies own everything. She says that her bread costs too much now. |
| 44417 My mum says that the genies are gonna kill us all. You too, huh? |
| 44418 My mum says you're a hero. Can I be a hero too if I try reeeeaaaal hard? |
| 44419 My mum says we're gonna be overrun by ogres soon. There's an army of 'em coming, she says. What's an ogre? |
| 44420 Eeek! |
| 44421 Are you a genie? The genies are rich and powerful, you know. |
| 44422 Did you know that the High Merchant is scared of the genies? I did. |
| 44423 Wow... you saved Trademeet, didn't you? Didn't you? |
| 44424 *giggle* |
| 44425 My... my mother an' father were killed by wolves, they were. Now I gotta go to an orphanage, they say. |
| 44426 Begone, child. I dislike brats, and I dislike maudlin brats even more so! |
| 44427 That's too bad. I feel sorry for you. |
| 44428 That is tragic, child. Here... take these coins. Perhaps it will help. |
| 44429 I... I... I didn't mean to... *sob* oh, never mind, <SIRMAAM>... |
| 44430 I... watched as the wolves, they... they... oh, 'scuse me... *sob* |
| 44431 Th-thank you, <SIRMAAM>. B-but... I'm not here to beg. I'm... I'm just waiting for the priest t' come an' take me to the orphanage. But... thank you anyway... |
| 44432 The priest will b-be here... soon. He's going t' take me to the orphanage. It's... far away, he said. |
| 44433 I miss my mother. Do... do you have a mother, <SIRMAAM>? |
| 44434 I wish I could just g-go home. But... they said it all burnt down when the wolves... attacked. *sniffle* |
| 44435 I wonder what the orphanage will be like... maybe somebody nice will come and take me away. Maybe. |
| 44436 That's that nasty druid that my daddy said they were gonna burn! Ye're gonna pay, nasty druid! |
| 44437 You... you're in league with them druids! There's gonna be a burnin', and you're gonna pay, you are! |
| 44438 Nyah, nyah! Betcha can't catch me! |
| 44439 Ahhh! Ye're those people with the swords an' spells an' scars an' stuff! Ahhh! |
| 44440 My daddy says ye're gonna kill everyone! Yahhhh! |
| 44441 Run away! Run away! Ha ha ha! |
| 44442 Oh, no! Parick, it is that druid, is it not? The one who attacked the town with those horrid animals?! |
| 44443 Do not fear, my love! I shall protect you! Get away from us, foul druid! Leave us innocents well enough alone! |
| 44444 Get away from us, druid! I know well enough who you are, and I see you plainly! You should be imprisoned, no? Get away! |
| 44445 Yes! Shoo! Shoo! |
| 44446 I do not know you, <SIRMAAM>. Do you know this <MANWOMAN>, my lovely Mera? |
| 44447 No, darling. There's no telling who <HESHE> may be. Perhaps one of those awful druids come to kill us? |
| 44448 Not to fear, darling. I shall protect you. |
| 44449 Oh, dear... it's a stranger, my darling. Probably come to accost us or rob us or some dreadful thing... |
| 44450 Do not worry, Mera. I am here, and I shall protect you if they mean ill. You there, strangers! Leave us be! We have nothing you wish, I assure you! |
| 44451 Ah... it is one of those heroes who got rid of the druids, or some such. Good day, hero... I am Mera, and this is my consort, Sir Parick. |
| 44452 Charmed, I'm sure. |
| 44453 If you'll forgive us, there's an engagement that we simply have to attend. Perhaps you are already invited, yes? We may see you there! |
| 44454 I, for one, cannot wait. |
| 44455 Look, Mera, it is one of the heroes who saved the town. How very... brave of them, don't you think? |
| 44456 Oh, Parick, you silly man! You are just jealous, aren't you? You wanted to jump in and save the town yourself! |
| 44457 I could have done it, darling. If these rabble did it, I could have. |
| 44458 Silly fool, I would have none of it! Tee hee... I want you only to myself and never in danger! Excuse us, <SIRMAAM>, please... we have an engagement to attend... |
| 44459 I understand we have you to thank for being able to stroll about Trademeet without fear of attack by... by dogs and such, yes? |
| 44460 Of course it's one of them, my darling Parick! Look at <HIMHER>â€â€<HESHE>'s positively bristling with weapons! |
| 44461 True. Well, <SIRMAAM>, don't let me keep you from your, ah, weapon-sharpening and such. |
| 44462 Oh, Parick! Tee hee! You are such a cad! |
| 44463 Yes? Oh, wait... one of those adventurers, I think. The one who got rid of all the attacks on the town. How delightful! |
| 44464 You will find that <HESHE> is nothing but a <MANWOMAN>, dear Mera. Nothing to get overly excited about. |
| 44465 Yes, but DARLING... this is a true hero! |
| 44466 And I am not, my love? |
| 44467 Oh, don't let it prick your pride, my love. You will always be my hero. Don't mind him, dear <LADYLORD>... my Parick is a touch sensitive about these things. |
| 44468 You dare to bring that... that evil druid before me?! |
| 44469 Get away from me, rabble! I do not associate with... with... druids and their ilk! There's no telling what you are here to do, is there?! |
| 44470 Hmph. Yes. I hear that you are the one who stopped these attacks. Good job. Now go and do something about those genies, yes? |
| 44471 I suppose you are a hero and should be congratulated, my good <MANWOMAN>. You have my thanks, even though you are not dressed as appropriate company. |
| 44472 You are involved in that business with Lady Lilith and Lord Skarmaen, aren't you? Bah! Those families would destroy this town just to prove who is more respected! |
| 44473 I do not associate with murderers... especially murderers of nobility! Begone! |
| 44474 Hmph. I suppose it was inevitable that those families would kill each other eventually. You are still to be praised, however, for all that you have done for this town. Bravo, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 44475 Bah! I do not associate with common criminal rabble! |
| 44476 Aware of what you are, child of Bhaal. You are aware, and she is not. That makes you more able to focus. You didn't know? |
| 44477 Oh! It's the druid that was arrested! He's going to kill us all! |
| 44478 Oh, dear... more strangers here in town?! Have you no sense?! |
| 44479 You are the one who saved us from those dreadful beasts! Please... speak to the merchant guildmistress now and do something about those genies. All my wealth and I can buy nothing... awful! |
| 44480 I do so hope that Lord Coprith recognizes you now as the proper hero that you are. You have my personal thanks for all that you have done for us! We are all very grateful! |
| 44481 Hmm. It would be troubling to choose between the Lurraxols and the Alibakkars. The Alibakkars are wealthier by far, but Lady Lilith does have a certain grace, no? Take care with them both is my advice. |
| 44482 Eeek! Murderer! Murderer! |
| 44483 *sigh* It is sad that two such great families should come to such an ignoble end... but it does not reflect on you, my <LADYLORD>. Truly, you are a hero in this town and worthy of praise. |
| 44484 Do you really think I would associate with such a base commoner such as yourself? I am a woman of refinement and taste, good <MANWOMAN>. |
| 44485 Hmph. Begone! I have many duties to perform and no time to waste on one such as you! |
| 44486 Yes... heroes, are you? Well, heroes, go and do something heroic and leave me well enough alone! |
| 44487 You must have suspected. Perhaps she felt no symptoms, but the taint was there. She is of similar age and was apparently secluded as a child, just as you were. |
| 44488 This Gorion of yours should have told you about yourselves early on. You might have learned not to fear what you are. |
| 44489 (The halfling woman is sleeping fitfully, sweating and stirring as if dreaming of disturbing things. She does not awaken.) |
| 44490 Imoen was more than bait, and has served just as you will. She is like you in many ways, and in one very special one. |
| 44491 Trademeet has been under siege by nature for many weeks, and the people are fearful. We will show you hospitality here, if you find none elsewhere. |
| 44492 You have done a wondrous thing, and the entire town should thank you for it! The attacks have stopped, and peace has returned at long last! |
| 44493 Imoen is indeed a child of Bhaal. I suspect her innocent charm and humor suppressed the darkness. She showed no symptoms because there was no place for shadow in her spirit. |
| 44494 I had to show her some very dark shadows indeed. It is unfortunate that it had to be done, but it was necessary to get what I needed. Now I must focus on you. |
| 44495 I am told you are true heroes in Trademeet... nothing could make me happier that Mazzy stands as one amongst you. |
| 44496 Mazzy has told me about you, <SIRMAAM>. Thank you for your help in healing my illness. |
| 44497 My sister is dead. Nothing you could do, no deed you could perform, would bring her back to me. Please... if you are kind, leave us to our grief. |
| 44498 There is a sense of holiness about the altar. |
| 44499 You feel the statue's eyes upon you as if it were a living thing. |
| 44501 Are you suggesting that she is a child of Bhaal as well? That is just not possible. |
| 44502 This small altar is bowl-shaped and sits atop a small pillar. It glows with a warm light that reminds you of the sun, driving away the cool drafts that intrude elsewhere in this dark underground land. |
| 44504 This temple appears neglected and dusty, its beauty a forgotten memory. |
| 44505 Are you suggesting that she is a child of Bhaal as well? That is just not possible. |
| 44508 Harper's Call |
| 44509 Please! My <PRO_LADYLORD>! May I... may I speak to you? |
| 44510 My name is Jenia, and I come to you on behalf of my son, Tiris. He... he is very frightened, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Too frightened to even leave our home! |
| 44511 Please! You... you are such a hero of this town. I beg of you to come and speak to him! To see what has frightened him so and perhaps help him! |
| 44512 I will help him if I can. Where is he? |
| 44513 I do not have time to help him right now... perhaps later. |
| 44514 I have no desire to coddle frightened children. Leave me alone. |
| 44515 Oh, thank the gods that you are so merciful! Tiris is at our home, the one just north of the Alibakkar Estate. |
| 44516 Please come as soon as you are able to! I so despair seeing him like this! |
| 44517 Oh, I did not mean to impose on you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, truly I did not! It is just that... I do not know who else to turn to. He will not speak to the militia, the poor boy... |
| 44518 If only it were such a simple manner, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. But Tiris is not normally like this... I fear something dreadful has happened to him, but he refuses to go to the militia. |
| 44519 I had... I had thought that, since you were such a great hero, that you might come and see what is wrong. But I cannot force you to, of course. |
| 44520 I beg of you to change your mind! If... if you do, please come to our home... it is the one directly north of the Alibakkar estate. |
| 44521 Oh, thank you for coming, my <LADYLORD>, thank you! Please speak to Tiris... find out what is wrong with him! Maybe you can help! |
| 44522 Our boy is in trouble, my <LADYLORD>. Anything you could do to help him would be appreciated, truly. |
| 44523 Oh! Y-you are... are one of the heroes that everyone is talking about, aren't you? You... stopped the druids and the genies. M-maybe... maybe you could help me... |
| 44524 It... it's all so terrible, I hardly know where to begin. |
| 44525 My... my love, Raissa, and I... we were coming home two days ago, not far from here. It was late... and I heard a strange noise come out of the shadows. |
| 44526 I thought perhaps it was another attack by the animals, but a large man leapt out of the darkness at me and knocked me out. I... I remember nothing until I woke up... |
| 44527 When I did, I saw a man tying Raissa to a chair. He was the one who had leapt at me. I... I stirred, as my head ached, and I was not immediately aware that someone else was in the room... |
| 44528 I suppose the other must have heard me, because he approached. I... I saw him, my <LADYLORD>, I turned and I saw him! He was a... a man, or a creature that looked like a man... but he had no skin! |
| 44529 All I saw was his... his muscles and sinew! He hissed, a dreadful sound, and tried to grab me. I was frightened, and I leapt back, barely out of his reach. |
| 44530 The man by Raissa yelled at him to grab me, and the skinless creature shouted back at him, angry... and I fled as quickly as I could. I heard someone running behind me, but I didn't dare look! |
| 44531 I heard it shout behind me once... it said that it would get me, that it would find me. And... and when I stopped running eventually, I didn't hear it any more. |
| 44532 I came here to hide, my <LADYLORD>. I am frightened to go out... What manner of creature could this be? What kind of magic would create a horror such as this?! |
| 44533 I don't know who to turn to. The militia... they can do nothing against such a creature, I am sure. And... and I feel so ashamed... I left my Raissa behind, left her to die! |
| 44534 Please, my <LADYLORD>... will you help me? Will you find my Raissa and bring her back to me? |
| 44535 I will try, but I need more information. |
| 44536 What kind of reward would I be getting? |
| 44537 No, I have no interest in this. |
| 44538 Th-thank you, my <LADYLORD>, I am very grateful... if you could do whatever you can... |
| 44539 I have nothing, my <LADYLORD>. Nothing to offer you at all, save my thanks and the thanks of my love, I am sure. Please, I beg you to help her! |
| 44540 Very well. But I need to know a little more. |
| 44541 Sorry, I don't have time for this. |
| 44542 Oh. I do not know how much longer Raissa will live in those creatures' hands... if she is even still alive. I beg you to change your mind, my <LADYLORD>. If... if you do, please come and tell me. |
| 44543 As for more information, well, let me think. The... the skinless creature did say the name of the man with the knife. He shouted it when the man told the creature to grab me... he called the man "Rejiek." |
| 44544 Rejiek? Are you sure? |
| 44545 Yes, <SIRMAAM>. Very sure. Why? Do... do you know that name? |
| 44546 Rejiek Hidesman is a murderer from Athkatla whom I exposed, and who escaped before he could be captured. |
| 44547 Yes, but you needn't concern yourself. Do you remember where you were brought? |
| 44548 Oh... oh no! Then you must find Raissa soon! If... if he has not already killed her! Oooh, I should have saved her when I had the chance! I should have tried! |
| 44549 Please! The creature brought me to the woods near the southwest gate. |
| 44550 Go there, I beg you, and find out what has become of her! Perhaps... perhaps this man and his creature yet remain there! |
| 44551 Er... yes, yes, I do! The creature brought me to the woods near the southwest gate. |
| 44552 It... it is you! My <LADYLORD>! Have you changed your mind? Will you look for Raissa? Please, she could already be dead! |
| 44553 Very well, but I will need some more information on all this. |
| 44554 I would prefer some kind of reward here. |
| 44555 No, I haven't changed my mind. |
| 44556 Then why have you come?! Why do you torture me?! Oh, they will find me for sure... and Raissa, poor Raissa, will die! |
| 44557 Have... have you found out anything? Have you found Raissa?! |
| 44558 No, I have found nothing yet, but I will keep trying. |
| 44559 I went to the place you described, but she was not there. I met someone who told me where she might be, however. |
| 44560 Why turn to me? I won't help you. |
| 44561 So you cast her aside and try to take me? You are vile indeed! |
| 44562 I am strong; strong enough to stop you! |
| 44563 I found Raissa, but she has been... changed. I need a restoration spell in order to return her to her original form, and I do not have one. |
| 44564 Hold! I would know what manner of creature you be before I lower my guard! |
| 44565 I am a simple <PRO_RACE>, nothing more. |
| 44566 I could ask you the same question. |
| 44567 I'll be the one who asks the questions here! |
| 44568 Hmm. You did not attack me on sight, so you are not the creature I seek. Its base cunning would not allow it to go without attacking a lone victim. |
| 44569 Ha! Fairly said! You have not attacked me, a lone victim, so it is unlikely you are the creature I seek anyway. Its base evil cunning would not be so bold. |
| 44570 I see. Since you have not already attacked, I know you are not the creature I seek. Its evil cunning would cause it to instantly attack a lone victim. |
| 44571 That said, it is quite fair to say you do not know who I am and may attack me regardless... especially if you are at all aware of the capabilities of my prey. |
| 44572 I am Darsidian Moor, and I hunt a creature known as the skin dancer, a man-like beast without true flesh of its own. Now, will you reveal your name? |
| 44573 I am <CHARNAME>, and I seek a victim who may be held by the creature you seek... and a murderer named Rejiek. |
| 44574 My name is none of your concern, but I may be hunting the same creature you speak of. |
| 44575 I seek to rescue a woman named Raissa, who was kidnapped by a murderer and a man without skin. |
| 44576 No, I will not. Speak your peace, and I shall decide if I let you live. |
| 44577 I see. The murderer I do not know... but if he is aiding the skin dancer, then he is as much my target as the creature itself. |
| 44578 Are you? That is hard to believe, for never before had I heard of a creature like this. How do you know of the skin dancer? Does it have victims here? |
| 44579 The murderer I do not know, but the creature you describe is none other than my quarry. And if he has this woman in his possession, then we must move quickly. |
| 44580 I have spoken all I need to. If you have no information on the skin dancer, then I will follow what leads I have found here and combat the creature on my own. |
| 44581 He would only capture a victim if he meant to use his dark magic to create another like himself. Otherwise, he would have consumed her flesh on the spot. |
| 44582 No, I must follow the leads I have found here and confront this creature once and for all. Tell me, then, will you aid me in killing this creature of evil? |
| 44583 It does... a woman by the name of Raissa. |
| 44584 I know of a creature without flesh... and it aids a murderer named Rejiek in capturing a local woman. |
| 44585 My business is my own... Speak your peace, and let us be done with it. |
| 44586 I would go with you, for I have reason to fight this creature as well. |
| 44587 Tell me where the creature lies... he has a victim that I intend to rescue. |
| 44588 You will go nowhere! I do not trust your motives! |
| 44589 Very well... go, if you wish. |
| 44590 Tell me where this creature is first. My only intention is to rescue his victim. |
| 44591 Yes, I will go with you... the murderer who is with this skin dancer must be stopped as surely as the creature itself. |
| 44592 No, you go... rescue the girl, if you can. |
| 44593 I don't trust your motives... I'm not about to go anywhere with you! |
| 44594 A noble cause, but not easily accomplished. The skin dancer's lair is just north of the east gate, in a walled-off section of town with an orange pavilion. |
| 44595 I intend to travel ahead and scout out the area. Meet me there as soon as possible... I could certainly use your aid. |
| 44596 Excellent. I know now who you are... you are the recently anointed saviors of this town, yes? Obviously, you have earned your reputation through good deeds. |
| 44597 I have found several clues. I suspect the creature's lair is just north of the east gate, in a walled-off section of town with an orange pavilion. |
| 44598 Very well, although I doubt the skin dancer will give her up to me willingly. I recognize you now... you are the recently anointed heroes of this town, no? |
| 44599 If you are the skilled adventurers that everyone speaks of, I could certainly use your help. The skin dancer is a powerful foe. |
| 44600 As you wish. I have not asked for your trust, only your help, as I now recognize you as the recently anointed heroes of this town. |
| 44601 I shall. I recognize you now, however, as the recently anointed heroes of this town. Who else would travel about with such an arsenal? |
| 44602 I... overheard you talking to Tiris a little. Please, my <LADYLORD>... please reconsider your refusal to help! I know we are poor and have nothing to offer, but we beg you to help our son! |
| 44603 You are very kind to help my son. I overheard you talking... a little. Please, my <LADYLORD>, do what you can. Just knowing a hero like yourself is helping us makes me feel much better. |
| 44604 <CHARNAME>! You have come! The creature was about to kill the maiden here, and I was forced to intervene. His human accomplice is only unconscious, however! |
| 44605 I... I knocked him out! H-he... he was going to kill me! |
| 44606 Quickly, <CHARNAME>! I have been badly hurt, and I do not know if this human accomplice will rise soon or not... kill him now while we have the chance! |
| 44607 Yes! Kill him, please! |
| 44608 Wh-what do you want with me?! Please! You must go and kill that horrible man! |
| 44609 Quickly! Do not stall, <CHARNAME>! You must kill him before he rises! I do not know how powerful he truly is! |
| 44610 Very well, I will do as you suggest. |
| 44611 Where is this skin dancer you spoke of? |
| 44612 He is unconscious. Let us tie him up and turn him over to the authorities. |
| 44613 You are right! Rejiek deserves to die, and there's no telling how dangerous he truly is! |
| 44614 Go, then, and finish him! (Ungh!) I dare not open myself to another assault. The skin dancer has wounded me badly! |
| 44615 It is dead, as I said! Its... its body has crumbled... that is its nature... |
| 44616 Enough! I can take no more of this! Your plan was a moronic one, Darsidian! |
| 44617 Hsss! Rejiek, you fool! This was your only chance to fake your death and escape once and for all! |
| 44618 I have no patience for it! Let us kill them and take their skins... and we can announce my death anyway! Come, it ends here! |
| 44619 N-no! He must die, <CHARNAME>! He... he's a murderer... and... |
| 44620 You assume you are a volunteer, but I don't need your cooperation. I will take the essence of you regardless. |
| 44621 ...uhhh... wh-what? Tiris? Is that... is that you? |
| 44622 What are you doing, <CHARNAME>?! Kill him now! |
| 44623 I am done with her. You should be more concerned about yourself. There is a very good chance you are about to die. |
| 44624 Enough, Darsidian! The hero will not slay her now! I knew your plan was doomed to failure! I should never have gone along with it! |
| 44625 No, <CHARNAME>, you are not. It is much more likely that you are about to die. Unfortunate, but unavoidable. |
| 44626 Th-that's it, then? He's dead now, just like that? |
| 44627 We were fortunate that he was not given a chance to come to. There is no telling what he was capable of. |
| 44628 My thanks, <CHARNAME>, for your help... as quick as the actual fight here may have been. Without you, however, things could have turned out differently. |
| 44629 I will escort the lady Raissa home, if you have no objection. I am sure her family will be glad to see her. |
| 44630 Very well. And I will return to Tiris and tell him he is free to leave once again. |
| 44631 Just one thing... where exactly is the skin dancer? |
| 44632 His last research project was into the nature of the universe and what lies beyond the gods. Something apparently didn't like him looking. |
| 44633 All right. I have things to take care of anyway. |
| 44634 I used to have pretties piled high to the sky... don't remember where they are though... Mm, pretties... |
| 44635 Somehow he retains his spellcasting abilities, however, and is incredibly dangerous if unsupervised. |
| 44636 Excellent. Come along then, Raissa. You are safe now. |
| 44637 Oh, that's good. And... oh, <CHARNAME>, is it? If you see my beloved Tiris... tell him that I will see him... soon. Very soon. |
| 44638 This is Aphril, and she sees a bit too much as well. Experiments with planar travel have given her sight that extends beyond the world we know. |
| 44639 Unfortunately, she can also see the denizens of those other realms. They are quite numerous, apparently, and she is never truly alone. |
| 44640 I killed it, <CHARNAME>, as I said. As, er, for its body... well, the skin dancer's magical nature forces its body to crumble on its, ah, death, and... |
| 44641 Idiot! Idiot! |
| 44642 No, Rejiek! You fool! We were almost successful! |
| 44643 I should have known your plan was doomed, Darsidian! Fake my death, eh? Well... let us take these heroes' skins, and I can announce my death anyway. |
| 44644 Either way, it ends here! |
| 44645 All around... all around... behind... above... all around! Ahh! |
| 44646 She does not sleep much. What use are eyelids when you can see through the planes? She will be studied so that some good may come of her condition. |
| 44647 Bah! I knew this plan of yours was doomed to failure, Darsidian! |
| 44648 This is Tiax. Not too much is known about him. He was found raving on the side of some road. |
| 44649 But... how could they have known?! Rejiek, we were so close! |
| 44650 We were not close at all, you fool! If I wish to fake my death, it shall be in the skins of these heroes. Come, then, let us take their flesh... it ends here! |
| 44651 Tiax rules all! You are but grease for the wheels of his rule. Silence the squeaking of those that protest! He rules all. |
| 44652 Obviously a danger, as you can see. |
| 44653 An aged elven mage is this cell's occupant. Very powerful, though he is incapable of trusting a soul. Dradeel is his name. |
| 44654 Y-you... you killed those monsters? It was so... horrible! They turned me into one of them. Peeled my skin from m-my bones and... and now I've put it back! |
| 44655 Bad dog! Bad dog! Werewolves all! Back! Back with you! |
| 44656 Obviously, he has had some sort of traumatic experience in the past. He cannot be allowed to roam with the power he possesses. |
| 44657 And lastly... the one you seek. She is quite well, considering the circumstances. |
| 44658 So empty... empty... |
| 44659 Imoen! It's <CHARNAME>! I'm here for you! |
| 44660 What have you done to her?! She looks a mere shadow of herself! |
| 44661 She does not seem willing to respond right now. Her consciousness comes and goes. It is fortunate you arrived when you did. |
| 44662 Yes, it is. I'll be leaving with her right now! |
| 44663 You monsters! I'll not leave until you tell me what you have done to her! |
| 44664 I'll kill you for what you've done here! |
| 44665 Oh, you misunderstand. It is fortunate for *me* that you arrived when you did. I'm quite through with her for the moment. It is *you* that I am after. |
| 44666 I knew you would seek her, and so the path was difficult, but not impossible. All designed to test your potential. |
| 44667 The Cowled Wizards no longer run the asylum. With Bodhi's aid, I was able to take control quite quickly. She is a fine sibling, if a touch predatory. I trust you remember my name now? |
| 44668 What are you talking about? Is this another Cowled Wizard trick? |
| 44669 A foolish plan! I am quite capable of countering any Cowled Wizard ambush. |
| 44670 Typical. If I had a sense of humor left, I might find that funny. I do not, on both accounts. |
| 44671 That I do. You are Irenicus, and I owe you a great debt of pain. |
| 44672 The monster Irenicus that I have sworn to kill! |
| 44673 A lowlife knobgoblin that deserves only death! |
| 44674 You are intent on revenge or justice or whatever. I care not. You can do nothing I do not wish. |
| 44675 You will find you are powerless. I have taken precautions that you will not be damaged. Rage would be wasted. |
| 44676 There is no battle, no heroics. Only sleep. |
| 44677 Hello... have ya come to play? I like to imagine stories of far away. Farther than you can see... or should. |
| 44678 How do you come to be here? |
| 44679 Do they treat you well here? |
| 44680 Do you know a way out of here? |
| 44681 How do we come to be anywhere? I asked that once. Looked all the way beyond the stars... pretty stars. |
| 44682 What do you mean, "turned you into one of them"? |
| 44683 Shouldn't look so far... it looks back... but now I don't care. I collect my pretties. Shiny things... pretty... |
| 44684 Well, you should be okay now. They're dead. |
| 44685 They turned me into one of them. He took my skin like it was some kind of coat, and put it on. He told me that now I was a skin dancer too. |
| 44686 They take my pretties... and the exams hurt. Questions about the far away... I don't want to go back far away. |
| 44687 N-no, I'm not okay. Rejiek said he normally kills his victims, uses their flesh for... for a "grand project," but he had another fate in store for me. |
| 44688 I know the way out of this place... this realm... this plane... don't go back that far... not good... |
| 44689 What? What do you want? I see you! I see you all! |
| 44690 What? What do you see? |
| 44691 Can you see a way out of this place? |
| 44692 What have they done to you here? |
| 44693 I... I can feel the dark magic coursing through me, changing me. He laughed at me, said I had been given a gift, if only for a short time... |
| 44694 Everything... everyone! Across the planes! All the time! My eyes do not close when closed! |
| 44695 He told me it was an honor when a skin dancer assumed a new form. He said he needed to change his identity, but that he didn't want heroes chasing after him. |
| 44696 And they are next to you, and me, and everyone! Always! More and more creatures from everywhere and every time! |
| 44697 He meant you, didn't he? He knew you were here. He meant to use both me and... and Tiris, but Tiris got away, so their plan had to change. |
| 44698 Never alone, even when alone. You just cannot SEE! |
| 44699 Thank the gods you found out, but I... I cannot go anywhere like this! I can feel that magic, that evil, growing inside of me! Please, my <PRO_LADYLORD>... help me! |
| 44700 I see through the walls, for there are no walls when you are somewhere else! I walk through them all, and they walk through me! |
| 44701 Harper's Call (Necromancy) Level: 5 Sphere: Necromantic Range: 30 ft. Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special This spell is only available to Harpers. Harper's Call restores a comrade to life to further service the cause of the Harpers. This spell functions similarly to Raise Dead, with the following exceptions: The Harper must transfer a small portion of her life essence (10 Hit Points) to successfully raise the deceased person; the person has but 1 Hit Point when raised and must regain the rest by natural healing or curative magic; and the raised person suffers a -5 penalty to all ability scores except Constitution for one minute, making this spell virtually useless in combat. |
| 44702 Questions, tests, questions, tests. Are they here, or are they there? I don't know... I don't know if you are here, or you are there. |
| 44703 You! Do I know you? No, I don't know anyone! Back! Bad dog! Play dead! |
| 44704 What can I do? |
| 44705 Sorry, I've done all I came here to do. I can do no more. |
| 44706 No more tests! No more questions! No more! Back! Bad dog! |
| 44707 If this evil is taking you over, I can only offer you a merciful death. |
| 44708 Wh-when he was... taking my skin, Rejiek said the only way to stop the process was a spell of restoration. B-but he laughed, saying I would never receive it. |
| 44709 If... if you could find that spell, could you not cast it upon me? Maybe... maybe the temple superior at the Waukeenar temple would have something! |
| 44710 Only... I have no coin. I know such magic is very expensive... but if you could find it in your heart to save me, I would be eternally grateful! |
| 44711 I do not think I can help you, then. You are on your own. |
| 44712 I may have that spell on me here... I will check. |
| 44713 Do you see the Shadow Thieves in the other chambers? They are the fruits of Bodhi's guild war, and their deaths shall force the divine soul from you. |
| 44714 I will go to the temple and see if I can get this restoration spell you speak of. Wait here. |
| 44715 Oh no! No! I... I cannot stay like this! These... urges... they overwhelm me! If you cannot help me, then... then I must flee! |
| 44716 D-death? I suppose it is better than living like this... Oooh, the evil... it's building in me! The urges! Aaah, y-your flesh! I must have your flesh! |
| 44717 The origins of this ring are unclear, and while its enchantments share similarities with historical examples of Rings of Wizardry, there is something strange in how it feels, either in the weight of the metal or in the aura it projects, and it does not function the same. It was likely found on some distant plane and, as such, its maker will remain a mystery to you. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – The wearer can memorize 2 extra 2nd-level spells, 1 extra 3rd-level spell, and 1 extra 4th-level spell Weight: 0 |
| 44718 Be quiet, woman. He is worthless to me. Take him or throw him out with the trash; I care not. |
| 44720 Please! Please, if you have the spell or can get it... I beg you to help me! |
| 44721 Do... do you have the restoration spell? Can you help me? |
| 44722 I cannot get the spell you need. I cannot help you, Raissa. |
| 44723 I cannot get the spell. All I can offer you is a quick death. |
| 44724 I do have the spell, yes. |
| 44725 No, I don't yet... but I intend to. |
| 44726 Then, please... cast it upon me! Please! |
| 44727 Please hurry! I... I don't know how much longer I can resist these... these urges! |
| 44728 It... it is good to be back in, in my own skin! Ahhhh, I c-cannot believe I am doing this! *sob* |
| 44729 Oooh... I can feel it! I can feel my... my skin turning back to normal! Oh, thank you! Thank you! |
| 44730 I've got to go home! I've got to see Tiris! Thank you again, you wonderful, wonderful <PRO_MANWOMAN>! |
| 44731 Don't be afraid, <CHARNAME>. I suspect this will be mercifully quick. |
| 44732 Do... not... fight... To fight... is... to lose... Come to me... find me... |
| 44733 Imoen? Where are you? |
| 44734 I do not trust you! This is another trick! |
| 44735 I can face any danger! I will win any fight! |
| 44736 Raissa is dead, Tiris. But the creatures which had used her in their plot are dead as well. |
| 44737 Within... find me within... You cannot fight alone... you cannot... Find me within... |
| 44738 I pray that you find her alive and well... please, Helm, let it be so! |
| 44739 No, and I have no time to continue looking. |
| 44740 You know where she is! Then please, by all means, go there and find her! Oh, I pray that she is safe! If only I had not been such a coward! |
| 44741 She has been... changed? You do not mean... into that, that skinless creature, do you? Oh no! |
| 44742 This is... this is terrible! But... you said she needs a restoration spell? Surely the temple superior has one! But I am sure it is expensive, isn't it? |
| 44743 If I had money to give you, my <LADYLORD>, I would gladly give it! Please, I am begging you... can you not get this spell from the temple superior? Can you not do something to help restore her?! |
| 44744 I cannot get the spell she needs, Tiris. I am sorry, but I cannot help her. |
| 44745 The most I could give her is a quick death. I am sorry. |
| 44746 I will try to do what I can. |
| 44747 You expect too much of me! I refuse to do more! |
| 44748 Ah, I see. That is... devastating news, my <LADYLORD>. But... but at least it is over. Thank you... thank you for everything you have done for me. |
| 44749 If... if you will excuse me, I must go with my parents to Raissa's home. Her... her parents will need to know what has happened... |
| 44750 Ah. Then... then there is no hope, is there? I cannot force you to look for her... and I cannot leave, out of fear for that creature. |
| 44751 I... I see. Then I shall go to her and try to help her myself. I... I do not know what I can do, but I must try to do something. Th-thank you, anyway... for finding her. |
| 44752 No! N-no... no, I will go to her and... and see what I can do. If I can do anything. I owe her that much. Th-thank you, my <LADYLORD>, for finding her at least... |
| 44753 Thank you! I will await here eagerly for news! |
| 44754 If you are truly the heroes I think you are, I beg you to look for her anyway! Please, before she runs out of time! Please! |
| 44755 I understand that we are not important people, my <LADYLORD>, but I would ask that you reconsider... Help my boy, if you can. |
| 44756 Thank you, my <LADYLORD>... You are very kind to help my son. |
| 44757 It is very strange, my <LADYLORD>... very odd indeed... |
| 44758 Thank you, my <LADYLORD>, thank you! You saved my son's love and have made him quite happy! Raissa came here, and the two are off to be married! |
| 44759 Tiris has... has gone to Raissa, hasn't he? He's gone to find her? |
| 44760 Raissa... she came here to speak to Tiris. And... and she was so odd, acting so unlike her normal self. Tiris noticed it too, but he was too happy to see her... |
| 44761 She wanted to go for a walk... and they left. And they haven't been back since. |
| 44762 He... h-he isn't coming back, is he? *sob* Oh, something terrible has happened! Something's gone wrong, I just know it! |
| 44763 Th-thank you for all you've done... or tried to do, my <LADYLORD>. I... I am sure you did all you could... |
| 44764 Shut yer yapper there, smelly! These guards is only mostly crooked. Ye wanna see the goods or not? |
| 44765 Raissa came back, and she was overjoyed! She told us everything that happened... You are a marvel, my <LADYLORD>, a true hero for having saved them! |
| 44766 And now they are to be married... what wonderful news. Thank you again, my <LADYLORD>. I cannot express my gratitude enough for everything you have done here. |
| 44767 Tiris... he went to find Raissa, didn't he? |
| 44768 You bastards! That be one o' the bloody killer druids! He belongs on the stake, he does! He'll murder us all! |
| 44769 Aye, so ye've saved us from the druids. But there be no food that I can buy to feed me babes on account of them djinn. How about you do something about that?! |
| 44770 Aye, so ye're a tough one, stopping forest animals. Hmph. Go and do the same to them bloody djinn in their tents, I dares ya! |
| 44771 I'll have nothing to do with yer likes! |
| 44772 Ye're a fool, wanderin' about as if nothin' were happening. We be under siege by druids! Go ask th' druid Lord Coprith locked up what happens to fools, aye? |
| 44773 So Lord Coprith has labeled ye a blasted hero. Does 'at mean I'm supposed to scrape an' bow now, does it? Hmph. Out of me way, I've got laundry t' do. |
| 44774 Hmph. Folks're talkin' like they're gonna build a stachew o' you yardapes. You never did nuthin' for me! I still has t' scrape t' feed me babes. |
| 44775 I earn all me money by gatherin' herbs an' sellin' them to the old witch in th' hut by the grove. Now she acts like she don't even knows me. A pox on her! |
| 44776 The witch in the grove who sells potions an' such... suddenly, she don't know me none! An' she never mentioned no kids, but suddenly she's got sons! Old bat. |
| 44777 Fine. Let me see what you carry. |
| 44778 Oh my! It's the druid that they arrested! Waukeen preserve me! |
| 44779 You must be fine enough folk... I am the wife of the temple superior, and I am pleased to meet you. Perhaps you will talk to Lord Coprith and continue to aid our fair town, yes? |
| 44780 Maybe some other time. |
| 44781 Oooh, you must be careful of those godless genies! If Waukeen were still with us, Ao preserve her, she would not allow those creatures to usurp our fair trade as they have! |
| 44782 P-please! Leave me alone! |
| 44783 I... I am the wife of the temple superior. Y-you mustn't wander about like this, truly! Strangers just lead to trouble right now! |
| 44784 You are such a marvelous <MANWOMAN>! To be so young and be such a hero! Waukeen bless you, truly! |
| 44785 You have become so famous here... I must warn you not to get involved with the noble families. The temple superior... my husband... is always forced to intervene between them! It is so awful, how they fight! |
| 44786 The locals seem to skit away from this building almost instinctively. |
| 44787 This building's windows are dark and uninviting. |
| 44788 Fine. Fine. Fine. Be seein' ye. |
| 44789 Ye should've learned to keep yer nose out of our affairs! |
| 44790 Zzzzz *snort*... |
| 44791 Little timeâ€â€you cannot fight alone... To fight is to lose... Find me... within... Find me within... |
| 44792 You cannot face this alone... Find me within... find me within... |
| 44793 This path is to the core... the depths of your soul. Only through sacrifice can you achieve such insight. |
| 44794 Do you give of yourself that you will know yourself? Do you let go of what you are, that you might see from a distance? |
| 44795 Choose what you will sacrifice to know yourself, to walk within. Give of your health, your mind, your wits, or your youth. |
| 44796 I give of my skill, forgetting some of what I have learned. |
| 44797 I give of my health, becoming less hardy. |
| 44798 I give of my mind and my capacity to learn. |
| 44799 I give of my wits and the wisdom I have learned. |
| 44800 I give of my youth, sacrificing my agility of movement. |
| 44801 Ahhhh... *hic*... now, I nae be recognizin' ye. Should I be? Are ye kin, mayhap, come t' take me home? |
| 44802 That depends... where is your home? |
| 44803 No, old man, you'll stay right where you are. |
| 44804 Actually, I'd like to ask you what you know about the killings around here. |
| 44805 I'll be on my way. |
| 44806 Well... Vincenzo's inn here be as good a home of mine as any. Sometime, I do sleep in a barn or on a haystack. Sometime, I do sleep in thar woods. |
| 44807 Of late, with these murderin's an' all, Vincenzo does let poor Travor sleep in the attic, he does. *hic* He be a good man, that Vincenzo. |
| 44808 Well, if this is your home, why were you asking if I was going to take you there? |
| 44809 What do you know about these "murderings," as you call them? |
| 44810 I'll be going, then. |
| 44811 Hmph. As is well an' good, I suppose. *hic* With all th' bloody murderin's out there, a town drunk doesn't want t' be sleepin' in the road anymore, now, does he? *hic* I'll be right here, yes, <SIRMAAM>! |
| 44812 Ehhh, I know that the streets nae be a safe place for a poor drunk t' nap in, that's for sure. Vincenzo took me in, dear man that he be, so I nae be taken by the Umar witch, aye? |
| 44813 Meself, I nae be knowin' if the Umar witch is back. I seen black shapes movin' in the nights, like livin' shadows... but then I be the town drunk and nobody listens t' what I has t' say. |
| 44814 Truth be told, I be more 'n a little frightened to sleep outside these days. *hic* But then, this inn is where you'd find me likely as not, so little 'as changed, aye? |
| 44815 Well, 'ave a drink on me. Tell Vincenzo t' put it on Travor's tab. Heh heh heeee... |
| 44816 Please find the flask that is the twin of the one in which I am bound. Do this for me, and I shall give you a weapon of power. |
| 44817 I was wonderin' if ye were kin, not if this were me home, blasted <GIRLBOY>. Y' think a drunk can properly remember if someone be kin or not? *hic* Not this one. |
| 44818 Well, what do you know about the killings around here? |
| 44819 I'll be on my way. |
| 44820 Well, if it nae be one o' the folk who've saved the village! 'Allo to ye, me <GIRLBOY>! 'Ave a drink on me... jus' tell that fusspot Vincenzo t' put it on Travor's tab... heh heee... |
| 44821 Hmm... I hear ye're responsible fer all them shadows leavin', ye are. *hic* Good job, <PRO_GIRLBOY>! Too bad ye're nae a ranger, as ye'd make a mighty fine protector for this town now 'at poor Merella be dead. |
| 44822 Ahhh, she were a fine, fine soul! *hic* To our dear, departed Merella! May she rest in peace, aye! I'll drink t' that! |
| 44823 So. *hic* Ye be the <PRO_GIRLBOY> who's replaced Merella, eh? Well, I be the town drunk, Travor... so if I wanders o'er to yer cabin at night fer a place t' sleep, ye won't skewer me, will ye? *hic* |
| 44824 Yes, I'll help, if I can. |
| 44825 Very well... I'll help you, if I can. |
| 44826 Do you know anything about a cabin in these parts? |
| 44827 I give nothing! You ask too much of me! |
| 44828 I will fight you! Stand aside! |
| 44829 I am but the guardian at the door, to stop you from stumbling within. To fight me is to fight yourself: fruitless. I will not be moved. |
| 44830 Then the door holds fast, for you would do more damage stumbling through than any outside force another could muster. |
| 44831 Then you shall go back over territory you have already walked, the experience of the journey relived through loss. |
| 44832 Then through your weakness you shall suffer, knowing yourself better for the effort you must extend. |
| 44833 Then you shall become less clouded by facts, and be closer to the emotions of your soul. |
| 44834 Then you shall come to know yourself through your mistakes, when you undoubtedly falter with foolishness. A fool can learn much that a scholar does not see. |
| 44835 Then you shall come to know humility, and as the world speeds to pass you by, you shall know patience. |
| 44836 You shall know more of yourself through what you have lost. A gesture of your intent within. Pass as you should, and do not fear what comes. |
| 44837 I... I can see you there... Wait... and we can win... |
| 44838 Imoen? Are you all right? |
| 44839 How do we get out of here, Imoen? |
| 44840 What are you doing here? Last I saw, you were incapacitated. |
| 44841 Shhh... Before the shadows return to me, I have seen what is to come... One alone cannot fight... |
| 44842 Together we must battle your instinct... Alone, you would fall whether you win or lose... but here, in my sight... we can defeat it. |
| 44843 Lead the creature hereâ€â€lead it to meâ€â€and we shall fight it together. Together... he does not expect us together... but he has shown me how... |
| 44844 Go and lead the beast here. It is your only chance... and my last... |
| 44845 Now! It is in my sight! I will add my will to yours! He has shown me... how to make it vulnerable! |
| 44846 Fall to your kneesâ€â€you can do no other! I am within you. I am your essence. |
| 44847 I do not wish to fight you. If you are within me, I want your power. |
| 44848 What do you want here? |
| 44849 You wish to battle within me? Catch me if you can! |
| 44850 You may as well ask to live without blood or deny you breathe air! I am of you and within you; I am what you should have been! |
| 44851 You were not born to replace; you are fuel for the return! I shall act as you were born to! You will surrender to the instinct! To the blood! |
| 44852 Monster! Get out of my head! I banish you! |
| 44853 What do I want?! Your life, your soul, your body! I am the instinct that will fuel the father! I am the blood! |
| 44854 You cannot run from yourself; you cannot defeat yourself! I am the blood! I am the instinct! |
| 44855 Well, you are a strong one indeed! You resist beyond all reason! A pity you are dead on the inside. |
| 44856 I don't know what you faced while mired within the spell, but here in the world of the living, my plans have gone just as I wished. |
| 44857 Whatever creature you conjured, I have defeated it. You shall be next. |
| 44858 Your plans have failed. Release me, and I shall be lenient. |
| 44859 You cannot turn me against myself. I have strengths you cannot see. |
| 44860 I have drained youâ€â€drained you of the very thing that made you special. It is the worst of curses, and I should know. |
| 44861 What do you intend, Irenicus? What are you up to now? |
| 44862 I will fight you at every turn, Irenicus! Whatever you are planning! |
| 44863 I will not let you harm Imoen further. I will free us both. |
| 44864 No, you warrant no villain's exposition from me. You are barely sentient now; I have taken your very divinity and drained you of your soul. |
| 44865 I have no doubt you would, but you are no longer a living threat. I have taken your very divinity and drained you of your soul. |
| 44866 Bodhi, remove this nothing... and Imoen as well. We are restored at their expense and need them no longer. Our revenge to come is now all the sweeter. |
| 44867 As you would have it, my brother. |
| 44868 Of course. See to it as quickly as possible. I will tell our friends in the dark of our coming. We will plan our assault from here. |
| 44869 I bid you farewell, child of Bhaal; we shall not meet again. |
| 44870 I have no time for this, woman! Utter another word, and it shall be your last! |
| 44871 Spell Sequencerâ€â€Protection From Evil |
| 44872 And so your life does come to an end. A pity. You have proven resilient beyond all expectation. It is appealing to me. |
| 44873 Spare me your words and do as you have been ordered. Like a good girl. |
| 44874 Appealing enough that you should allow me to live? |
| 44875 You waste my time. I am not here for your amusement. |
| 44876 Oh, but you are. My amusement is all that is keeping you alive. Irenicus wishes you dead, and he is very rarely denied his wishes. |
| 44877 Irenicus does indeed wish you dead, but I am not his lapdog and you are now subject to *my* will. |
| 44878 Your taunts will foster no resentment towards my brother, but I also need not obey him just yet. |
| 44879 Not quite so much as that, though I am quite willing to postpone your death for the sake of my own goals. |
| 44880 Your abilities have piqued my interest, and since you are to die, I would have you do it in an entertaining fashion. |
| 44881 Irenicus can be so dour when he wishes. He is set upon revenge for his banishment and can think of nothing else. A failing of his mind remaining flesh, I suspect. |
| 44882 Undeath has given me focus, and an interest in the abilities of powerful creatures. An interest in you. I will make your death glorious, as well as entertaining. |
| 44883 I will not perform for you! |
| 44884 What do you have in mind? |
| 44885 Do your worst, Bodhi. I do not fear you. |
| 44886 Oh, but you will. You have no choice. You will run my gauntlet, and you will do so on the slim chance that you will make a difference. |
| 44887 A game that you have no choice but to play. You will run my gauntlet, and you will do so because of the slim chance that you can make a difference. |
| 44888 You should. You must run my gauntlet to prolong your life. You must do so knowing you have but the slimmest chance to make a difference. |
| 44889 Do you see this passage before you? It is the darkest part of the asylum and its history: a test of clarity for its prisoners, by a director that delighted in dissecting the mind. |
| 44890 It has been some time since I have given chase to a worthy foe. Enter the maze of this place and seek an exit. I give you time to run, after which I will come to feed. |
| 44891 But you are not running solely for my benefit. I give you reason as well, to make the hunt more desperate. You may yet foil Irenicus, though the chance is small. |
| 44892 His plans will take time, just about as long as my hunt. Run my gauntlet and your life ends... or is freed. The hunt begins. |
| 44893 The time is at hand! You gave merry chase, but have failed to escape! I come reinforced, for you are not worthy of single battle! |
| 44894 I am sorry, really I am. You had no other option than to meet my deadline. I offered a chance, but I am not foolish. This is your end. |
| 44895 I am your instinct, yet you deny me?! Fight me within your own mind?! I should devour you! How do you stand?! |
| 44896 I sense your soul... It has taken form to guide from within! You are strange among your kin! |
| 44897 But it... it is weak and will not help again! You are empty inside! There is nothing within but the instinct! |
| 44898 Something is wrong... I... no... not again! Not again! AughHHHHH! |

| 44919 I face treachery at every turn! Tell me why I shouldn't kill you! |
| 44920 And what do you wish from me? |
| 44921 Stand aside! I will not hesitate to kill you. |
| 44922 Such hostility, and I wager it is well earned. It is, however, misdirected. I do not wish to be your enemy here. |
| 44923 I wish nothing from you, save the satisfaction that you succeed in your goal. The winds are changing, and I must heed their gentle push. |
| 44924 Ahh, but a single moment of hesitation will not alter your course. I wish only that you heed my words, for they are worth the wait that you can spare. |
| 44925 Irenicus pushes ever forward, though I cannot see how I will profit. The blade he gave me is hardly compensation. Better that this place were free for the looting. |
| 44926 I offer advice to foster a trust, and you may determine the value as you wish. It is simple enough for the moment and will save you in the long run. |
| 44927 Irenicus is a power indeed. I have seen no chips in his armor of spells. You would need an army to face him, and I suggest that there is one to be had. |
| 44928 Speak then, and I will listen. |
| 44929 Make your words count. They will determine your lifespan. |
| 44930 The inmates of this place are a resource to be tapped. Release them, and their anger and frustrations will strike at Irenicus. |
| 44931 That is my suggestion, and I leave the workings of it to you. Upstairs, your army awaits. Use it, or you will perish. |
| 44932 Gone and off like the shadow flees the morn. You aren't gonna let him fall away so easy, are you? |

| 44941 Iron Skins |
| 44943 Iron Skins (Alteration) Sphere: Elemental Level: 5 Range: 0 Duration: 12 hours Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None When a Druid casts this powerful spell upon <PRO_HIMHER>self, an outer skin of iron will move up from the ground, completely covering <PRO_HIMHER>. This skin is, of course, magical and will hinder the Druid in no way. The effect of this is to protect the Druid from physical attacks such as melee weapons and projectiles. For every 2 levels of the caster, an additional skin is gained upon casting. For example, a 10th-level Druid would receive 5 skins. For each skin the Druid possesses, the spell will stop one attack, so a 10th-level Druid would be protected from the first 5 attacks made against <PRO_HIMHER> but the 6th would affect <PRO_HIMHER> normally. The skins will remain on the Druid until <PRO_HESHE> is affected by a Dispel Magic, all of the skins are removed due to physical attacks, or the spell's duration expires. It is important to note that this will not protect the Druid from any area attacks such as Fireball; however, it will protect <PRO_HIMHER> from physical magical attacks such as Magic Missile. |

| 44946 Nature's Beauty (Illusion/Phantasm) Sphere: Elemental Level: 7 Range: 0 Duration: Instant Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 5-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. When this spell is cast, the caster appears to undergo a remarkable transformation. The caster becomes the very ideal of beauty: For a male, this is usually a nymph; for a female, it varies. As with a nymph, anyone viewing the disguised caster must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell with +3 bonus or die of longing for the denied illusion. Even if the Saving Throw is successful, hapless viewers of the transformed Druid are all instantly smitten with permanent blindness (until dispelled). The transformation is instantaneous, but lasts only seconds, affecting those near the caster (excluding fellow party members). |

| 44950 The many pipes and passages below seem to be part of some labyrinth. |
| 44952 Mystra, the goddess of magic and a reputed friend of the Harpers. |
| 44953 This is an elaborate indoor aviary, filled with exotic plants as well as numerous strange birds. |
| 44954 This building smells strongly of... turnips. |
| 44955 What do you mean by a "guild war"? |
| 44956 This "building" is a ship that was run aground and has been built around since then. |
| 44957 Did you say something about a "guild war"? What is that about? |
| 44958 It's one o' the reasons why smart folk stay indoors at night, though none o' the guards will say one thing or another about it. Bad for the image of the city. |
| 44959 This gigantic sphere seems to have "phased" into the surrounding buildings, neatly cutting them off. |
| 44960 I knows 'cuz I'm close to the streets. There's a war between the thieves and a new guild. Don't know much, but lots of people have gone missin'. |
| 44961 Not much other to say about that. You need anythin' else? |
| 44962 What did you mean by a "guild war"? What is that about? |
| 44964 What city was this? |
| 44965 What city was this? |
| 44966 Did you see what happened here? |
| 44967 I was with a woman named Imoen. Who took her and that mage? |
| 44970 Excuse me, I've got to be going. |
| 44971 The meaning of the controls that surround this station is too complicated to even begin to comprehend. |
| 44972 The smell of salt water is everywhere, and when you step, your feet sink slightly and murky water pools about them. |
| 44974 This entire room hums with an unearthly tone, vibrating the metallic floor beneath your feet. Gurgling and hissing sounds can be heard from each of the three devices that are present, and you can feel the waves of heat that emanate from them. |
| 44975 The device in this room appears to be like the inside of a clock. |
| 44976 Why do you mention guilds? Is this not excitement enough? |
| 44977 Did you say something about guilds? Why would you mention that? |
| 44978 Did you mention guilds? Why? Are they as violent as the display here? |
| 44979 Pure cold seems to emanate from this hissing device. |

| 44992 Could you tell me if you know the wizard who was taken away from here? |
| 44993 Could you perhaps tell me where I am? |
| 44994 I'm a friend of the girl who was taken from here. Do you know who took her? |

| 45003 A ship was recently attached to this platform and made a hasty getaway into the cavern's depths. |
| 45006 This store-room contains a large number of props and other sundries used in the theater. |
| 45007 Pixie Dust (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 5 Sphere: Combat Range: 0 Duration: Special Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None This spell creates a small handful of pixie dust that the caster can use to toss into the air. Anyone hit by the dust becomes invisible (the range of the dust is about 30 ft.). Of course, the invisible creature is not magically silenced, and certain other conditions can render the creature detectable. Even allies cannot see the invisible creature or its gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ magic to do so. Items dropped or put down by the invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. The spell remains in effect until it is magically broken or dispelled, until the caster or recipient cancels it, until the recipient attacks any creature, or until 24 hours have passed. Thus, the invisible being can walk around and cast defensive spells; however, if <PRO_HESHE> attacks, <PRO_HESHE> immediately becomes visible, although the invisibility enables <PRO_HIMHER> to attack first. |
| 45008 These canvassed wagons have been brought inside and converted to decoration. |

| 45015 This badly neglected statue is of no god that you recognize. |
| 45018 This is a painting of one of a group of young adventurers from long ago, this one a ranger... all of whom were attempting to return to their homeland far away. Word has it they died horribly at the hand of the dragon Tiamat. |
| 45019 Another painting of a party of young adventurers from long ago... this one a diminutive barbarian. Rumor has it that this barbarian had a pet unicorn smaller than he... also swallowed by Tiamat, it is presumed. |
| 45020 This solemn monument has been erected to appease the Lord of the Dead... the god Kelemvor. |
| 45021 This pyramid-like structure is rather majestic... but also appears long neglected. |
| 45022 Oh... uh... normally that works... |
| 45023 What? What are you doing here? You should be in your cells with the rest of the wackos! Lonk the Sane takes care of you, but you had better show respect! |
| 45024 Everyone gets locked down tonight. Too many people getting agitated. Always happens when the boss experiments. Makes them angry, I guess. |
| 45025 Open the cells, Lonk! I'm releasing everyone! |
| 45026 Don't trouble yourself. Give me the keys, and I'll lock myself up. |
| 45027 Makes them angry, does it? What would happen if they got loose? |
| 45028 This tomb appears to be long neglected and is covered with cobwebs and dust. |
| 45029 This dome appears organic and exudes a dry, musty smell. |
| 45032 This standing sarcophagus is long sealed by stone. |
| 45033 The central pool is full of fresh, constantly flowing blood from an unknown source. The room is thick with its smell. |
| 45034 This small ship is some form of gondola, subtly humming with a strange energy. |
| 45035 The jars and other receptacles here contain things like preserved hearts and other organs. |
| 45037 Now just you wait a moment! Do you know what would happen if you released these people all at once? |
| 45038 There ain't but one "key," and you ain't getting it. Now get to your cell before I get angry. More tests for you if I get angry! |
| 45039 You're one of them; what would you do? Individually, they can be bullied around, but all together? They get too excited to control! |
| 45045 Summon Insects |
| 45047 Summon Insects (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 3 Sphere: Animal Range: 90 ft. Duration: 7 rounds Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. The Summon Insects spell attracts a cloud or swarm of normal insects to attack one enemy of the caster. This swarm gathers at a point chosen by the caster within the spell's range and attacks any single creature the caster points to. The victim may make a Saving Throw vs. Breath Weapon with a -4 penalty to escape the swarm; otherwise, the victim receives 1 point of damage every 2 seconds for the duration of the spell. Moreover, the victim fights with a -2 penalty to <PRO_HISHER> attack roll and a -2 penalty to <PRO_HISHER> Armor Class. The swarm will repeatedly bite the target, making it very difficult to cast spells (50% chance of spell failure). |
| 45048 This is a representation of Torm, the god of loyalty and obedience. |
| 45050 Insect Plague |
| 45051 Insect Plague (Conjuration/Summoning) Sphere: Combat Level: 5 Range: 360 ft. Duration: 6 rounds Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special When this spell is cast by the priest, a horde of creeping, hopping, and flying insects gather and swarm. This swarm will jump first to the target, then to the nearest allies of the target's, until up to 6 creatures have been affected. Spellcasting within the swarm is impossible (100% chance of spell failure). Creatures in the insect plague sustain 1 point of damage every 2 seconds they remain within regardless of their Armor Class, due to the bites and stings of the insects. Invisibility is no protection. Due to the suffocating nature of the writhing insect swarm, each victim must make a Saving Throw vs. Breath Weapon or run away in fear for 1 round. |
| 45054 Earthquake |
| 45055 Earthquake (Alteration) Level: 7 Sphere: Elemental (Earth) Range: 360 ft. Duration: 3 tremors Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 40-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special When this spell is cast, a local tremor of fairly high strength rips the ground. The shock is over in several rounds. The earthquake affects all creatures in its area of effect. There are 3 tremors that are caused by the earthquake: 1st: All creatures affected take 6d6 points of damage and fall to the ground for 4 rounds. A successful Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -6 penalty halves the damage and negates the fall. 2nd: All creatures affected take 3d6 points of damage. A successful Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -2 penalty halves the damage. 3rd: All creatures affected take 2d6 points of damage. A successful Saving Throw vs. Spell halves the damage. This spell will affect both enemies and friends of the caster's, so care must be taken in its use. Finally, earth elementals dislike mere mortals toying with the land and there is a small chance that casting this spell will cause an earth elemental to appear and attack the party. |
| 45057 A bouquet of slightly wilting lilies rests on top of this shrine. The name "Moira" has been carved into the marble. |
| 45058 Symbol, Death (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Sphere: Guardian Range: 90 ft. Duration: Special Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. Symbol, Death is a powerful enchantment that allows the priest to inscribe a symbol on the ground or any other surface. The symbol will remain there until someone comes too close, at which point it will explode, causing all those within the area of effect to make a Saving Throw vs. Death or die. Creatures with more than 60 current Hit Points are immune to this effect. |
| 45059 Symbol, Stun (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 7 Sphere: Guardian Range: 90 ft. Duration: Special Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Neg. Symbol, Stun is a powerful enchantment that allows the priest to inscribe a symbol on the ground or any other surface. The symbol will remain there until someone comes too close, at which point it will explode, causing all those within the area of effect to make a Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -4 penalty or be stunned for 2 rounds + 1 round every 3 levels of the caster. |
| 45060 This is the first king of Amn, Esmel Torlath, who established the country after the breakup of the Shoon Empire almost a thousand years ago. The throne below the statue is long unoccupied. |
| 45061 You're looking to be difficult, aren't you? I can accommodate that. I don't watch over this place because I'm helpless. |
| 45062 That's just what I'm hoping for. Release them all now! |
| 45063 Well, I'd better just go to my cell then. Give me the keys, and I'll leave you be. |
| 45064 What would it be worth to get you to release them? |

| 45075 You only follow him out of fear. I'll destroy him with the help of the inmates. |
| 45076 I'll offer you 200 gold to help me. |
| 45077 How about 2,000 gold? Is that worth it? |
| 45078 10,000 gold will change your tune. |
| 45079 No, no, I really don't think you can pull it off. You are just not convincing enough in your manner. Back to your cells before I get in trouble. |
| 45080 You think... you could? Hmmm... That's a new way to look at it. I don't like him much, and he's never been less than rude to me. |
| 45081 You know, I really preferred Wanev as director. It was a shame what Irenicus did to him. I will help you, I think. You may do as you wish with the inmates. I'll be back when this mess is cleared up. |
| 45082 That's not worth even talking about it! You get back to your cell on the double! |
| 45083 2,000! That's... that's a fortune! I could get pretty far on that... yes, <PRO_SIRMAAM>... hmmm. |
| 45084 All right, if you want them out so badly, I'll let them out. I'd better head straight for the docks and get out myself though. Irenicus is going to be incensed. |
| 45085 No, I don't think I'll take it. I just don't like you that much. Don't trust what you'll do. Get back to your cell. |
| 45086 Then I'll kill you where you stand! |
| 45087 All right, I'm going. |
| 45088 Then I'll kill you where you stand! |
| 45089 All right, I'm going. |
| 45090 Then I'll kill you where you stand! |
| 45091 All right, I'm going. |
| 45092 10,000?! You *are* out of your mind. I have never even seen that much gold. Get back to your cell before I get mad. |
| 45093 2,000 then! How about that? |
| 45094 How about 10,000? A fortune! |
| 45095 10,000 then! Think of it! |
| 45096 Then I'll kill you where you stand! |
| 45097 All right, I'm going. |
| 45098 What do you want now? I've told you to get back in your cell. Don't make me restrain you. I don't usually like to do that. |
| 45099 Open the cells, Lonk! I'm releasing everyone! |
| 45100 Don't trouble yourself. Give me the keys, and I'll lock myself up. |
| 45101 All right, I'll go. |
| 45102 What would it be worth to get you to release them all? |
| 45103 Tonight I'm someone free? What face should I wear for this? |
| 45104 You will wear what face Tiax orders! Today, he rules all! |
| 45105 Silence yourself, diminutive one! Do you not hear the howling?! Around on all sides they are! |
| 45106 You will regret the day you crossed the will of Tiax! My conquest of all is not something to be mocked! |
| 45107 Is that the rule of all you survey or beyond? W-w-what of those that walk inside and around and through? That stand where you stand now? |
| 45108 None stand where Tiax stands... lest he walk atop them! Mm-hm! |
| 45109 As I see you do now, and beneath others. Do you not see?! See them inside and behind and beyond?! |
| 45110 No... y-you speak too much of what can be seen. I wish to see only my pretties again. I won't look too far... I promise. |
| 45111 Bah! Tiax is surrounded by fools and madmen! Who is to blame for this outrage? Who shall Tiax smite?! |
| 45112 HeeheeheeHEEheehee... He did this... HE did this! I wiâ€â€uh, *we* must find him! He is the cause! He is the one that brings the tests! *snicker* |
| 45113 You will smite whom I tell you! Irenicus is your target! |
| 45114 Why, there is only one man that stands between you and your rule. Irenicus. |
| 45115 Settle down, all of you. If you want out of here, we have to confront Irenicus! |
| 45116 Irenicus? Oh... I took his face once. His punishment was... |
| 45117 Tiax shall face him alone. Tiax judges you not worthy of helping him. Though you may watch... if you wish. |
| 45118 *shudder* To look at him is to see too far... I cannot look to him! |
| 45119 He is cold through all the planes... none walk where he does, though they see him not! |
| 45120 I would prefer to face the dogs of fire themselves! This Irenicus is surely a tool of the Gibbering Twelve! |
| 45121 I will not rest until his head is mine and mine and mine alone! |
| 45122 That's the spirit. All of us can take him on. Downstairs is where we must go! |
| 45123 He has tortured the lot of you! Aid yourselves and help me defeat him! |
| 45124 Yes, yes, now would you crazies please just get downstairs?! |
| 45125 Follow all... follow and we fight... he will enjoy this test, I know. I will teleport us directly in front of him and we'll surprise him! |
| 45126 DOWN to the dogs! Bad dogs! |
| 45127 Hmph. I've nothing to sell ye, strangers... nor would I, had I the goods to do so. Go back to wherever it is ye came from. |
| 45128 *sigh* Ye've done a fine thing for our town indeed, gettin' rid of all them beasts attacking us. But I can't open me fletcher shop yet. Not with 'em genies takin' up all the caravans. |
| 45129 If ye want t' buy somethin', ye'll have to be talkin' to them. And believe me, I like it no better than ye. |
| 45130 So ye went an' got rid of them genies. That's fine an' well, but I'm not openin' my fletcher shop to ye. Ye could still be workin' for them druids, an' they means t' kill us, they does! |
| 45131 I... I suppose I could offer ye somethin', if ye be interested in me fletching goods. 'Cause if ye are here t' chat, I've no interest in talkin' to strangers. |
| 45132 This place... destroyed the work *I* did... but now... I shall have him! Restore me I will! |
| 45133 Yes, let me see what you have in stock. |
| 45134 No, thanks, I'll be going. |
| 45135 It still ain't much... them genies haven't been gone for long, ye see. But... I s'pose it be better than nothing, aye? Take a look, as ye bide. |
| 45136 As ye wish. Well met, me <LADYLORD>. |
| 45137 Tiax will have the glory of the kill. He shall build his throne with the skulls of his enemies. |
| 45138 Ah! If it weren't the hero o' Trademeet come to me fletchin' stand. Thanks to ye, I've got me fletchin' back up an' goin' once again. Does ye wish t' buy something, mayhap, me friend? |
| 45139 Yes, everyone will have their respective revenges. Into the chamber to face him! |
| 45140 Just remember who it is you are fighting. Don't hit your friends by accident. |
| 45141 Into his lairâ€â€we must stop his ritual! I certainly hope this works. |
| 45142 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 45143 No, I'll be on my way. |
| 45144 Hmph. I'm sure you adventurers would like to have access to my goods, with my being a blacksmith and all... but I'm afraid there's nothing to be done. The genies have all the ore that's in town. |
| 45145 They'll sell, surely enough, but at ungodly prices. Talk to Guildmistress Busya if you think you can do something about it, that's all I can really say. |
| 45146 Sorry. I don't want trouble here. You may have gotten those genies to leave, but people are still mighty nervous of the druids. Please leave me be. |
| 45147 Hmm. I suppose you seem like good enough folk. You probably need a blacksmith quite often, right? Well... fine. I can sell you what I have, if you like. |
| 45148 Yes, let me see what you have in stock. |
| 45149 Certainly. Take your time looking about, if you like. |
| 45150 No, thanks, I'll be going. |
| 45151 Very well. A pearl to you, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 45152 I may be a blacksmith, but I have nothing in stock... and I don't want any trouble at my shop. You are strangers, and you're dangerous. |
| 45153 Welcome to my blacksmith shop, <SIRMAAM>. Do you need anything today? I'd be more than happy to help you out if you do. |
| 45154 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 45155 No, I'll be on my way. |
| 45156 In some planes, we've already won... in others, we are mere head lice. Who knows what comes? |
| 45157 It matters not! All will fall... eventually. |
| 45158 Bodhi has disappointed me by letting you live, but the results are the same in the end. You should've fled when you had the chance to do so. |
| 45159 I best not be gone long... 'fore me captain has me hide. |
| 45160 You were a fool to think you could attack me without help. I know you inside and out. I've taken your very soul. I've no use for the rest of you! |
| 45161 'Tis the killer druid! And he has brought allies this time! Run for your lives! |
| 45162 Went and took care of that druid problem, eh? That simple, is it? How do we know you weren't behind the whole thing?! Hmph. You must think we're such simple folk, I suppose. |
| 45163 I hear the druids don't even have a leader yet. For all your heroics, this could just as easily happen again, couldn't it? And those genies are still outside... you haven't saved anyone, believe me. |
| 45164 Back, cretin! I'll have nothing to do with your like! |
| 45165 Stand away from me... how do I know you're not working with those druids? You're out to kill us all, I bet. Hmph. Strangers should just stay away, I think. |
| 45166 I... suppose you're all right. Although I still think you could have planned all of this just to look like a hero, you know. |
| 45167 At least those genies are gone. Now maybe my husband's money doesn't have to go to waste on every little thing. And you think you've got it hard, I suppose? Hmph. |
| 45168 Hmph. So the druids are quiet now. I think they should still be killed for everything they did anyway. Do you know how many people died here?! |
| 45169 Oh, go away. We're a town without a goddess, with Waukeen dead. Trademeet will fall apart sooner or later, mark my words. |
| 45170 What is this? You have released all of my test subjects? How wonderfully mad of you. I did not expect this in the least, so dangerously risky it is. |
| 45171 I am glad I amuse you. Now I will end your plans and your life! |
| 45172 They have rallied around me! We shall all defeat you! |
| 45173 I don't need them, but I thought it fitting that those you tortured help in your fall! |
| 45174 As overeager as ever, but your boasting is wasted on me. You are no threat, not even with your army of madness. |
| 45175 Your fate has been sealed with the curse I transferred to you. I have the souls of both you and Imoen, and they have healed Bodhi and myself. You will die in our place, or worse. |
| 45176 Someone summon the guards! The druid is free once again! |
| 45177 Hmph. You think you're trustworthy? We have enough problems here in Trademeet, even without those druids. |
| 45178 Well, it's all fine and well that the animal attacks have stopped. I suppose you want us to bow down to you or something, now, hm? Well, forget it. |
| 45179 Nope. You don't look like the trustworthy type at all. Go away, stranger! |
| 45180 I don't know why you're even here, you. There's nothing to buy, and no one has money to buy anything from you. Just leave us be. |
| 45181 I bet you set all those things up, just so you'd come out looking like a hero. Nobody's that good, nobody! |
| 45182 I suppose you got a reward for being a "hero," right? Yeah... someone's always doing it for something. Now we're even poorer than before, I suppose. |
| 45183 Oh, you think everything is just fine now, don't you? Well, I hear there's people being found without their skins. Go solve that one, why don't you? |
| 45184 The weather's foul, and my feet hurt, and I really don't feel like talking to strangers. Go away. |
| 45185 Bodhi tells me you have exhibited a... transformation. With your will slowly fading, perhaps the essence of Bhaal will rise to take you. That would be a sight, I am sure. |
| 45186 I'll take back what is mine now! I'll take it back! You perverted this place, and I'll take it back! |
| 45187 You tortured those here long before I arrived. I merely had more purpose to do it. Bah, I speak with madmen when I should be at my revenge! |
| 45188 If you're here to see Lord Logan, he is within his office at the moment. He does not turn away those without appointments, so you may go in and speak to him if you wish. |
| 45189 Die, all of you! I have restored my soul and will work my revenge without your interference! |
| 45190 I serve Lord Logan here. Don't make any trouble, and I won't make any for you either. |
| 45191 Damn you all! Why do I fight over this place when my plans may be laid anywhere?! I must start anew! |
| 45192 Well met, <SIRMAAM>. I hope everything is well with you? Lord Logan is still inside, I believe. |
| 45193 Have your victory here then, but know that you are dying on the inside even now! Many will join you before I am doneâ€â€my home will feel my wrath! |
| 45194 Begone, <SIRMAAM>. We don't take to murderers here in Trademeet. |
| 45195 Here! Fight amongst the mindless assassins I would sacrifice! I shall find others to serve my needs! This place is yours! I hope it is your tomb! |
| 45196 Welcome to the temple of Waukeen, supplicant. Is there something that I can do for you? |
| 45197 I thought Waukeen was dead. How can you still worship her? |
| 45198 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 45199 You aren't going to turn me away because I'm a stranger? |
| 45200 Nothing. I'll be going. |
| 45201 Contrary to the belief of some, my <GIRLBOY>, Waukeen is not dead. She is simply missing. The goddess of joy, Lliira, grants power to her worshippers in her stead for now. |
| 45202 Sorted by date |
| 45203 Some have indeed abandoned the Waukeenar faith for Lliira, Shaundakul, and Tymora, thinking she will never return. But this town was founded by Waukeen... we cannot abandon her. |
| 45204 I have faith, child. And that is more than enough for most here in this town, you will see. |
| 45205 You aren't going to turn me away because I'm a stranger? |
| 45206 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 45207 I'll be on my way. |
| 45208 Certainly not, my <GIRLBOY>. Waukeen is the goddess of trade... how would it look if I turned you away simply because we have never met? |
| 45209 No, you are welcome in the home of the merchant's friend. Of the rest of the people in this frightened town... I cannot speak for them. I simply pray that things will change. |
| 45210 They are good people, child, who have been through much. Do not think too harshly of them. |
| 45211 I thought Waukeen was dead. How can you still worship her? |
| 45212 I'd like to see your services. |
| 45213 I'll be on my way. |
| 45214 Of course. The Waukeenar are always willing to serve... at a fair and honest price, of course. |
| 45215 May fortune seek you, child. |
| 45216 Get away from me, Alibakkar scum! I'll not have your filthy hands upon me! |
| 45217 Do not flatter yourself, Lurraxol pig. If I were to touch you, it would be to throw you out and that is all! |
| 45218 Do not speak to me like that! I serve the first noble family of Trademeet! |
| 45219 The Lurraxols are nothing more than peasants! I laugh at your ignorance, fool! |
| 45220 Laugh at me, eh? I'll show you who's the commoner, Alibakkar whoreson! |
| 45221 Hah! That shows him! The Lurraxols are the only true noble family in Trademeet and should be respected as such! |
| 45222 The fool! He should have known better than to take on an Alibakkar better! I spit upon his foul body! Ptoo! |
| 45223 *sigh* I suppose this had to happen. Now that things have been restored to normal, the feud begins once again. |
| 45224 Those two families have been nothing but problems in this town. I am surprised Lord Logan doesn't order their death... they certainly are asking for it if scenes like this continue! |
| 45225 Attention, everyone! There will be no further brawling in this area, or any involved will be arrested! You all know how the Lurraxols and Alibakkars can be, yes? |
| 45226 Do not get involved, I warn you! Lord Logan will be informed of this incident immediately! Calm down and return to your business at once! |

| 45234 The 5th-level wizard spell Breach can be used to remove combat protections (Stoneskin, etc.) from a wizard. |
| 45237 Thieves' guild stronghold Renal has rewarded me for the death of Mae'Var by granting me the guild that Mae'Var once ran. Renal has already sent new guild members there to serve and advise me, and I should check in as soon as possible to get things running. Renal did mention that a quotamaster would be coming by the guild every now and again to collect his tithe... failure to pay will result in a loss of the guild. But anything else I can make with the guild is my own profit. |

| 45240 Spells can be stored in a (Minor) Spell Trigger so that they may be used faster and without interruption during combat. |

| 45248 Why would you encourage me so? You were in his service! |
| 45249 I won't let any of you get away. You helped them, and will join him in death. |
| 45250 What are you doing here? Your cowardly masters didn't take you with them? |
| 45251 I ruined his plans for the moment, but he has escaped with my soul. I intend to follow him. |
| 45252 That I was, but only for the favors of Mistress Bodhi. Powerful people cast off powerful things, and a blade of novelty to them is a fine sight to such as me. |
| 45253 But she has no doubt fled with her "brother" and master, leaving me to deal with the mess they have abandoned. There is no profit in this for the likes of me. |
| 45254 So I will offer my service to you, in the hopes that we can benefit one another. I'm sure you can understand the motives of self-preservation. |
| 45255 Before you bring your anger to bear, please take pause to hear my words. My situation has changed drastically and I pose no threat. |
| 45256 It is true that Bodhi employed me, but she is fled now, and I owe her "brother" no loyalty. The trinket blade they gave is nice, but I have other needs. |
| 45257 A truly admirable goal, and I would aid you if you permit it. You may view me with suspicion, but please take a moment to see my situation for what it is. |
| 45258 What could you possibly offer me? |
| 45259 Your tongue may as well be forked. I trust nothing you say. |
| 45260 So you propose an allegiance? I only see a benefit for you in this. |
| 45261 Of course, I would not impose this upon you without a proper offering of peace. Let me first inform you of the ways you might escape this place. |
| 45262 Irenicus left by a magic portal... it could be trapped, and it may even lead into the Underdark. Not a safe place to go. |
| 45263 He sealed the doors, but I think I can get us to the surface. I suggest we go back to my ship. I know where he's *headed*... we may even cut him off. |
| 45264 That seems convenient. What is the catch? |
| 45265 And what will you require in return? I suppose gold or the like? |
| 45266 There are no secret conditions on my help. I merely seek your friendship, or at least your pardon. I require allies if I am to survive. |
| 45267 Fletcher |
| 45268 So, will you try the portal or accompany me to the surface? Perhaps I will throw in the blade I was paid, to show you my good intent. |
| 45269 I think I'll take the portal. Dark or murky, it is clearer than your motives. |
| 45270 I'll find my own way and kill you as well! |
| 45271 Very well. Lead the way out, and we shall take your ship. |
| 45272 Besides, I know a little of his plans through a peek or two at his journal. It's little enough, but I figure we're all in trouble if he isn't stopped. |
| 45273 As you approach the letter-tiled floor, a voice intones, "Only the Name of the Master shall keep thee from the Power of the Darkness!" |
| 45274 No doubt he feels a villain is always undone in the exposition. I cannot say I blame him. I have many a dead friend that boasted when silence would have served. |
| 45275 What plans does Irenicus have? He has proven tightlipped so far. |
| 45276 His goal is a mystery to me. I know only that he plans to use my divinity in some way. |
| 45277 From what I saw of his journal and from overhearing chats with Bodhi, I know his destination to be an elven city in the Forest of Tethir... Suldanessellar. |
| 45278 What he plans on doing there, exactly, I don't know, but he seems to expect to become more powerful than anything... than the gods even, and that can't be good. |
| 45279 As you wish, though I fail to see a benefit. It is the magic portal a level below us. The passage to the portal requires the key in his chambers, near the asylum's former exit. Fare ye well. |
| 45280 That would be a harsh response to my act of charity. I fear I must deny you the pleasure. Fare ye well, I must away. |
| 45281 A sensible choice. Allow me to use my magics to penetrate Irenicus's wards and then teleport us to surface and sun. |
| 45282 Step up, step up, and test your luck upon the wheel. A simple game with simple goals! |
| 45283 What is the game? |
| 45284 I will play. What are the wagers? |
| 45285 Thanks, but no thanks. |
| 45286 Step back then, and make room for men and women that have courage and faith in their gaming skill. The door is that way. |

| 45290 5 gold is my wager. |

| 45300 Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner at the table! A bet of 1 has returned 32! See how easy it is! Step up! |
| 45301 A winner! A bet of 5 has returned 160! A fortune in an instant for any working man or woman! Step up! |
| 45302 Astounding! The house pays out the maximum! 10 has given 320! See how fortunes are made! Step up! |
| 45303 The Lady giveth, and the Lady taketh away. No winner; step back. |
| 45304 I cannot afford to play. Can you spot me a round or two of the wheel? |
| 45305 Step back from the table before I have you removed. Don't waste my time, <BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 45306 Sorry, my friend, but you and any you travel with are no longer allowed at the table. Someone wins too much and people start calling foul. No chances taken here. |
| 45307 'Ey, step up. Don't be afraid of the table, my friends. Roll your luck and see what comes. |
| 45308 What's the game? |
| 45309 No, thanks. |
| 45310 You'll always be a loser if you don't play, that's my motto! Stand well back and watch a braver <MANWOMAN> play. |
| 45311 A roll of the dice to get higher than the house. Simple and elegant, a working man's game. 1 gold will get you 2, so bet confident and bet often. |

| 45313 1 gold on my roll. |
| 45314 5 gold on my roll. |
| 45315 I can't afford to play. Spot me a few rolls? |
| 45316 No thanks. I changed my mind. |
| 45317 Not a chance in all the planes. Take a walk, pauper. |
| 45318 5 gold on my roll. |

| 45324 The dice are high! 5 has got you 10! Step up while the dice are hot! |
| 45325 Sorry, but you and anyone with you are off this table. You won too much. People will think the dice are weighted. |
| 45326 Thish is one sorry excush for a bar, I tell you. Cut a man off after five or six, just because he's out o' coin. |
| 45327 What? What ish you staring at? Never seen a man... uh... before? |
| 45328 Sorry to bother you. I'll leave you be. |
| 45329 Blacksmith |
| 45330 You look like a man of the world; what's going on around here? |
| 45331 Anything exciting happening around here? |
| 45332 You look like a man of the world; what's going on around here? |
| 45333 You just go do that. Gots me an appointment to... uh... somethin'. |
| 45334 Goin' on? Nothin' at all. This here is the outskirts of Athkatla, so nothin' real important goes on. |
| 45335 Well, not unless you count Tiiro and Aulava. Fighting lots lately. Local celebrities, really. |
| 45336 Yes, <SIRMAAM>, ain't a soul in this place that ain't watchin' them. Best you leave them alone though. Let nature do its work on 'em. |
| 45337 Yep, used to be nice kids. Don't know what went *burp* wrong. 'Scuse me. |
| 45338 I 'spose you'd call it excitin'. That Tiiro and Aulava is back together. Couple of outlaws they are, eggin' each other on. |
| 45339 They were fightin', and we hoped they would split and go the straight an'... uh... narrow. No luck though. |
| 45340 Been on a spree o' crimes. They dedicated most o' what they've done to the person that got them back together. |
| 45341 I'd like to give a kick to that person, I tell you. That... uh... ah, lost my thought. Better relax for a bit, I think... |
| 45342 Pretty quiet since them two Tiiro and Aulava was killed. You heard o' them? Right famous bandits, and they lived near here! |
| 45343 Someone took some justice out of their hides. Strange though; some people miss 'em. Celebrities they were. |
| 45344 I don't care though. Safe streets is better. Safe streets fer sleepin... ah... I'm gettin' tired... leave me be. |
| 45345 How's my new friend there? Smile and stay a day or two. You got a coin, you'll always be welcome. |
| 45346 Not the fanciest lodging, but I'll lay a blanket in the stables for you if you need. It's more comfortable than it sounds. |
| 45347 That will be fine if I stay. Let me see what else you've got first. |
| 45348 You offer your stables to people to sleep in? Is that healthy? |
| 45349 No, thank you. Some other time. |
| 45350 You ever heard of a horse being called "healthy as a hearty <RACE>?" No, I didn't think so. They keep just fine, and so would you. |
| 45351 Suit yourself. The door is always open if need be. |
| 45352 I'm sure it would be fine. Let me see your services. |
| 45353 If it's all the same to you, I'll pass on that offer for now. |
| 45354 If you need an ale or whatnot, you'll have to get it from Groncaner at the bar. Our patrons serve themselves. |
| 45355 I don't require anyone to wait upon me. I'll serve myself like the rest when I buy. |
| 45356 Is this their choice, or is the service here just that bad? |
| 45357 A bar full of commoners. No one knows who should serve whom. |
| 45358 You'll fit right in then. We treat everyone equally in here, mostly because they are. The nobles stay in the city. |
| 45359 There is no service at all, if you must know. Everyone is equal in here. The nobles and landowners stay in the city. |
| 45360 If you must pretend to have a grand stature, go do it where they appreciate it. |
| 45361 They're breaking up! Tell your neighbors! Aulava and Tiiro! It finally happened! |
| 45362 What are you yelling about, sir? Who are Aulava and Tiiro? |
| 45363 Cease your screaming! You are not helping my nerves with your shouts! |
| 45364 You are not from here if you are not excited by my words. Disregard them if they mean nothing to you. I will tell those that do care. |
| 45365 That won't be me. I don't care at all. |
| 45366 I will listen intently if you will tell. |
| 45367 So fill me in. I am interested in many things. Perhaps you need my help? |
| 45368 I don't care one whit whether you care about what I care... Why am I wasting my time on you? Goodbye. |
| 45369 Don't you go meddling! We don't need any strangers going near those two! The best thing for their families is if they stop seeing each other. |
| 45370 It's not something that should concern an outsider. You're not one of those nosy adventuring types, are you? |
| 45371 Can you tell me anything about Aulava and Tiiro? |
| 45372 That isn't your affair. Suffice to say that they aren't welcome in here while they are together. Leave it be; they don't concern you. |
| 45373 Don't worry, I didn't mean any harm. I was just curious. |
| 45374 The families are conspiring to keep them apart? Why? |
| 45375 A romance that threatens to set families at each other's throats? How classic. |
| 45376 You don't know anything about it, and I suggest you keep it that way. We don't want to draw attention to this. |
| 45377 It would be a shame to involve the guards in this. They're good kids, just misguided. You stay out of it. |
| 45378 So, Aulava... that's it then? |
| 45379 Tiiro... I... I guess so. Nobody wants us together. Guess we shouldn't be. |
| 45380 That's what... my family says too. I didn't think we did that bad. A few scraps here and there... |
| 45381 It was fun... while it lasted. I guess I have to settle down though. |
| 45382 Yeah. Father said he can't keep it quiet any longer. Don't know what the fuss is about though. |
| 45383 It's not like it's their lives. Guess they're embarrassed. |
| 45384 Yeah... I guess. |
| 45385 Hey, looks like we have an audience. Hey you! Get a portrait painted; it lasts longer! |
| 45386 Sorry to have bothered you. It's really none of my business. I'll leave. |
| 45387 I'm <CHARNAME>. I heard about your families trying to split you two up. |
| 45388 That's right. None of your business. Get lost. |
| 45389 Yeah, I'd hate to have to hurt you or something. |
| 45390 Yeah! Tell <PRO_HIMHER>! Then we should... no... no, it's over. Goodbye, Tiiro. See you... sometime? |
| 45391 Maybe. Sometime. |
| 45392 Word certainly gets around. Hear that, Aulava? We're famous. |
| 45393 Your father couldn't keep it totally quiet. I like that. I feel important. |
| 45394 It is kind of interesting. What did you hear, stranger? What are they saying? |
| 45395 Actually, it's really none of my business. I'll just leave you to do what you must. |
| 45396 It sounded like they were embarrassed that you two were together. |
| 45397 It doesn't matter. Don't listen to them. Love is all that matters in the end. |
| 45398 That's one word for it. Embarrassed, horrified, outright angry. |
| 45399 They don't like the way we act when we're together. They say we'll just end up in trouble and they won't be able to help. |
| 45400 Not like they've been help so far. They've just had guards following us, making sure we don't do anything wrong. |
| 45401 What do you do? Do you have a trade? |
| 45402 Used to farm. Did some trading. Not no more though. Barn burned down. Classic, eh? Now I *imbibe*. Sounds classy, eh? *burp* |
| 45403 Can't watch us all the time though, hmm? We slipped away for a bit. Old man Maunu's barn was never the same. |
| 45404 Oh, hush up, you. You know we're not supposed to talk about that. Father kept it quiet. |
| 45405 Maybe I don't want to be quiet. How about you, stranger? Should I be quiet? |
| 45406 This is *really* none of my business. I should just leave you two alone. |
| 45407 It sounds like your families think you're not the best influence on each other. |
| 45408 No, of course not. Sing your love to the four winds! That's all that matters. |
| 45409 Well, that's true enough, but what do they know? It's not their lives. |
| 45410 I know, I know, but are we ready to go it alone? I mean, your father has kept what we do quiet. |
| 45411 I know. I'm not sure. |
| 45412 If you don't think you're ready, then that's your answer. Not my business though. |
| 45413 You seem to know what you want. You don't need to hear it from me. |
| 45414 Risk it! How you feel is all that should matter to you young lovers! |
| 45415 Yeah. Yeah! The complete and total stranger is right! |
| 45416 You know, I think so too. What do we care what others think? This life is too short to worry about it. |
| 45417 Wonderfully short and getting shorter. Damn them all. Damn them all, let's go for it! |
| 45418 You are so right, Aulava! Let's make our time short and sweet! Like we planned! Larger than life! |
| 45419 Thanks, <CHARNAME>! We owe this all to you! |
| 45420 That's right. Everything we do we'll dedicate to you. |
| 45421 Absolutely. Damn the parents; we'll let people know what a stranger has done for us! |
| 45422 Is it? Is that all that matters? Even if you do things that others don't approve of? |
| 45423 Things that they think are very bad and try to cover up so people don't find out? |
| 45424 If you have to ask, then you already know they are right. Not my business though. |
| 45425 It sounds like your families think you're not the best influence on each other. |
| 45426 What did I just say about love?! It's all that matters! Live the dream! Love! |
| 45427 You! You are <CHARNAME>, aren't you?! I warned you! I told you not to get involved! |
| 45428 Slow down, I'm sure we can work out whatever is wrong. |
| 45429 Stop right there! I don't take kindly to people yelling at me! |
| 45430 You had to go sticking your nose in where it didn't belong, didn't you?! They were splitting up! They were finally listening to their parents! |
| 45431 But you had to encourage them! Aulava and Tiiro have dedicated everything they do to you! We tried to keep it quiet, but you encouraged them! |
| 45432 Your little matchmaking endeavor has got a dozen people robbed and beaten! At least one house has been set alight as well! |
| 45433 They were just a couple of kids in love. What's the harm? |
| 45434 I'm not sorry at all if their little relationship is embarrassing for the families. |
| 45435 They knew what they wanted. I just gave an encouraging word or two. |
| 45436 They are a bad influence on each other, see? A bad seed in two parts. When they are together, they just don't stop to think. |
| 45437 We weren't keeping their relationship quiet, we were trying to stop people from reporting them to the guards for torching Maunu's barn! |
| 45438 They didn't seem at all odd to you? A little too... driven? They didn't mention the trouble they get into? They aren't shy about it. |
| 45439 They certainly aren't shy about saying who got them back together. Your name is mud around here. |
| 45440 They seemed like they were in love. That was the most important thing. |
| 45441 I didn't push them into anything! They knew what they wanted. |
| 45442 The most important thing? You don't know them. You don't know their parents. How could you claim to know what was best? |
| 45443 They're lost causes now. Wild as animals. If you ever see them again, do yourself a favor and kill them. A bad seed in two parts, I tell you! |
| 45444 They wanted to run wild for as long as they could, causing as much destruction as they could. They wanted to be outlaws like the stories of old. |
| 45445 Aulava! Look! It's <CHARNAME>! Our benefactor! |
| 45446 Wonderful! Tell us, <CHARNAME>, what is the word on us now? We were famous before; are we infamous now? |
| 45447 We've been enjoying life, just like you suggested. Burning bright as we can! |
| 45448 Burn as bright as you want, but stop telling people it's because of me! |
| 45449 I didn't realize the evil you would cause. I have no choice but to end this now. |
| 45450 I can't have my name linked to your rampage! Prepare to die! |
| 45451 Perhaps it would have been better if you broke up. Have you thought about that? |
| 45452 But it is, and we are grateful! We can't last much longer, but it's been wonderful so far! |
| 45453 Aulava is right. This is all for you. |
| 45454 What? Aulava, I don't think <CHARNAME> appreciates how we feel. In spite of all <PRO_HESHE> has done, I think we should deal with <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 45455 Do you think we can? I mean, <PRO_HESHE> looks awfully powerful. |
| 45456 I don't know. What does it matter? Maybe we live, maybe we don't. |
| 45457 Oh, you make it sound so tragic, so epic. Let's go! |
| 45458 Yes, let's! |
| 45459 I don't want it to be all for me! Stop telling people I put you up to this! |
| 45460 Do not use me as an excuse for your immorality. I won't have it! This ends now! |
| 45461 I don't care! I'll kill you for dragging my name through the mud! |
| 45462 You know, maybe I should give you some more advice. You should really split up. |
| 45463 We haven't given a thought to that since we talked with you. We realized we were the only ones who mattered. |
| 45464 The only ones! And if we love each other, it doesn't matter what we do. |
| 45465 And if we want to go out in a blaze of glory, that's our business! |
| 45466 But slandering my name is *my* business. I didn't think your would act like this! |
| 45467 I cannot let this continue! This is just not right! |
| 45468 You'll pay for this! I'll not have my name dragged down with you! |

| 45475 I have a question to ask you. A friend of mine has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards... do you know where they keep people they capture? |
| 45476 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 45477 Hmm. Crossed the Cowled Wizards, have you? Beware, <CHARNAME>. They have deep roots here in Athkatla. |
| 45478 If they've taken someone, that person is gone. Best just to accept it. Your only other chance would be to get help from an organization just as powerful. |
| 45479 Not much. They rule the docks, so some say, and the local guard won't even go there. Probably the safest part of town, if you ask me. |
| 45480 I've heard some nonsense about someone challenging them, but I don't put stock in it. The Shadow Thieves have as much power as the Cowled Wizards, you know... |
| 45481 If someone's challenging them, the Bloodscalp... that's what they call their leader, I hear... he'll deal with them, sure enough. I wouldn't get involved, were I you. |
| 45482 I have a question to ask you. A friend of mine has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards... do you know where they keep people they capture? |
| 45483 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 45484 I don't want any trouble from you here. I saw you enter with those folk... just a good thing for you that only that girl used magic, otherwise you'd all be in prison. |

| 45489 I need to find that girl you mention... do you know where the Cowled Wizards would have taken her? |
| 45490 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves here in the city? |
| 45491 They're nothing for you to worry about, citizen. I wouldn't suggest you involving yourself with their type. |
| 45492 I need to find that girl you mention... do you know where the Cowled Wizards would have taken her? |
| 45493 She wouldn't have been brought to the city's prison. We don't have the facilities to keep such powerful deviants. The Cowled Wizards, on the other hand, do. |
| 45494 Where they would keep magic-using prisoners, I don't know. No one does. And I doubt they would tell you... the use of magic is illegal, and that means she's a criminal. |
| 45495 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves here in the city? |
| 45496 I have a question... a friend of mine has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they might be keeping her? |
| 45497 I have a question... what do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 45498 No problem. |
| 45499 Well, they would have imprisoned her wherever they keep their magic-using criminals, and they keep the location of their prison a secret. Sorry about your friend, but that's the way it is. |
| 45500 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves, then? |
| 45501 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 45502 They are a power here in the city, and they're everywhere you look. If you intend to deal with them, friend, be wary. |
| 45503 A friend of mine has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards... do you know where they would be keeping her? |
| 45504 I'll be going, then. |
| 45505 Very good, citizen. You have my thanks once again. |
| 45506 I was wondering if I could ask you a couple of questions. |
| 45507 You certainly can. What's on your mind? |
| 45508 A friend of mine has been taken prisoner by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where she would be kept? |
| 45509 Any ideas on how I might gather a lot of coin? I need it to free a friend from the Cowled Wizards. |
| 45510 What can you tell me about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 45511 Nothing. Never mind. |
| 45512 Ahhh, too bad. A friend came in from Riatavin about a year back, a mage named Terce. His mule had gone lame, and he'd summoned a floating disc to carry his supplies. |
| 45513 They captured him, of course. Terce should have known better... I'm sure he thought a disc was harmless enough, but those wizards are strict about their licenses. |
| 45514 I tried looking for him, but the Cowled Wizards aren't easy to find... nobody knows where they stay here. And they never let out where their magical prison is. |
| 45515 It's a travesty that the council gives them so much power. Mystra only knows what they do with their prisoners. Wish I could help you more, but I never heard from Terce again. |
| 45516 Any ideas on how I might collect a lot of coin? I need it to free a friend from the Cowled Wizards. |
| 45517 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 45518 I see. I'll be on my way. |
| 45519 Hmm. Saving up for a bribe? Might work, you never know... not even those damned Cowled Wizards are infallible. |
| 45520 Good to see your person well and sound. As you can see, the way is clear and we are free. Now, to the business at hand. |
| 45521 As for ideas, I'm sure there are plenty of ways for an intrepid adventurer like yourself to make some money. Rewards are for the taking here, in my opinion. |
| 45522 If you haven't already looked in the Copper Coronet in the slums, I would try one of the temples. Or even the Shadow Thieves in the docks, if you're willing to work with that sort. |
| 45523 A friend of mine was captured by the Cowled Wizards. Do you have any idea where they might be keeping her? |
| 45524 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 45525 I see. I'll be on my way. |
| 45526 It's not an area I keep up with. They run the docks... the man to talk to is called the Bloodscalp. Word has it they're in some kind of fight right now, but who knows? |
| 45527 A friend of mine has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they might keep her? |
| 45528 I need to get ahold of a lot of coin to save a friend from the Cowled Wizards. Any ideas? |
| 45529 I see. I'll be going, then. |
| 45530 All right. Store'll be here when you return, I'm sure. Heh. |

| 45532 Priest of Cyric |
| 45533 Eh? I'm sure I wouldn't know about that. I always thought the cowled ones killed whoever used magic. You think they imprison them? |
| 45534 A friend of mine has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any idea where their prisoners would be kept? |
| 45535 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves in the city? |
| 45536 Ah, you best stay clear of them. The Shadow Thieves are in a war, I hear... although I know not with whom. Chances are they're in a spiteful mood. |
| 45537 Perhaps you could tell me where I could find a suitable inn. |
| 45538 Could you perhaps direct me to a temple or such where I might receive healing? |
| 45539 I'm looking for quality goods, perhaps magical items and such. |
| 45540 Show me what services you have. |
| 45541 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves in the city? |
| 45542 I'll be on my way. |
| 45543 Perhaps you could tell me where I could find a suitable inn. |
| 45544 Could you perhaps direct me to a temple or such where I might receive healing? |
| 45545 I'm looking for quality goods, perhaps magical items and such. |
| 45546 Show me what services you have. |
| 45547 A friend of mine has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards... do you have any idea where their prisoners would be kept? |
| 45548 I'll be on my way. |
| 45549 A friend of mine has been captured by the Cowled Wizards, and I'm looking for where she's being kept prisoner. |
| 45550 I'm looking for information on the Shadow Thieves. |
| 45551 Ah, then you're out of luck, my friend. From what I hear, they appear when they want. They could be coming from Waterdeep for all you know. |
| 45552 To steal a prisoner back from them, you'd need someone just as powerful. Like the Shadow Thieves themselves, I suppose. Heh... now that'd be a feat to pull off. |
| 45553 Are ye, now? Can't say I knows much about 'em. Hopefully, they don't know too much about me, if you take my meaning. |
| 45554 I hear, though, that if you want to deal with them, you have to go through the Bloodscalp himself. Frightening prospect, that. But if anyone has real power in this city, it's them. |
| 45555 Take my advice, though, as a man of limited wisdom: Watch your back. There's more friends of the Shadow Thieves floating in the Alandor River these days than enemies, or so they say. |
| 45556 Maybe you know where the Cowled Wizards might keep people they take prisoner? |
| 45557 Tell me if you know anything about the Shadow Thieves. |
| 45558 Go about the town and get what supplies you need. We shall meet at the tavern and make our plans for the voyage when you are ready. |
| 45559 Sure, heh, they keeps 'em up in a glass tower up in thar clouds. Har... nay, I should not be botherin' ye. I nae be knowin' nothing about them wizards. |
| 45560 I seen plenty, I have. They at war, my <LADYLORD>, at war with another guild tryin' to take 'em over. Only get worse, it will. Blood in th' streets, I says. |
| 45561 I'm glad to see you, though our meeting is colored by the unfortunate events I must relate. I had hoped them settled, but... I am denied. |
| 45562 I have no ship with which to offer passage. It has been scuttled in an act of the purest malice! Such villainy I am subjected to! |
| 45563 A friend of mine has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45564 I've heard that the Shadow Thieves are at war. Do you know anything about that? |
| 45565 Hm. 'Tis a tough question ye're askin'. The wizards keep such a thing close to their breasts, they do. Can ye imagine if everyone knew where sorcerous criminals be kept, aye? |
| 45566 But if anyone could be helpin' ye with that, it'd be the Shadow Thieves themselves. They could pry the secrets from a dead roach, if ye're willin' to pay the price, heh... |
| 45567 Now... ye got more questions, or am I sellin' ye somethin'? Prices are low, mate, and 'tis a limited time offer, if ye takes me meanin'. |
| 45568 All right, let me look at what you have to sell. |
| 45569 A friend of mine has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45570 I've heard that the Shadow Thieves are at war. Do you know anything about that? |
| 45571 No, I'm not interested. |
| 45572 I heard some fool woman has been gatherin' together all th' survivin' thieves that won't work under the guild... She'll be dead soon enough, I reckons. |
| 45573 But I don't know much else. Heh... mayhap if ye're of a mind, why don't ye go an' ask the Bloodscalp himself? He be only off in th' docks, not far from here. |
| 45574 No, actually. A friend of mine has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners, maybe? |
| 45575 I'm looking for information on the Shadow Thieves, actually. |
| 45576 Oohhhh, I don't know mush about them wishards, no, no. The counshel doeshn't throw 'em in jail, though, even though they casht magic. Tch. 'Tish awful, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, simply awful. |
| 45577 Do you know anything about the Shadow Thieves, perhaps? |
| 45578 What "entertainments" were you talking about earlier? |
| 45579 Thanks, I'll be going. |
| 45580 Well, the obvious course would be to exact a revenge of sorts to procure another ship, and it just so happens that I have the perfect mark in mind. |
| 45581 The Shadow thievesh... theysh at war, so saysh everyone, aye? All the thievesh dyin'... tsk, tsk. When will it end, I ashk you? |
| 45582 I see. And what would you suggest as an alternate plan? |
| 45583 No worse than the lies that I must suffer! Do you have a plan for escape at all? |
| 45584 Then it is back to Spellhold and the magic portal to the Underdark. |
| 45585 I will find someone else with a ship, then. |
| 45586 A friend of mine has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners, maybe? |
| 45587 What "entertainments" were you talking about before? |
| 45588 Thanks, I'll be going. |
| 45589 Maybe I could ask you a question or two? |
| 45590 If you make it quick, sure. Shoot. |
| 45591 A friend of mine has been kidnapped by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45592 I've heard something about a war between the Shadow Thieves and someone else. Do you know anything about that? |
| 45593 It does my spirit harm that you think I would try and cheat you of your rescue. Perhaps I did not have my ship on hand, but my intentions were well and true. |
| 45594 My sole purpose is to find you transport, and by the luck of the draw, it is best done by procuring me a new ship. We should hurry lest enemies return. |
| 45595 Actually, never mind. |
| 45596 Nobody does, and the council likes it that way. All the magic-users caught are put out of sight and forgotten about... no matter what the wizards do to them. |
| 45597 I would not risk it. Besides, the only ship that is fit for sailing at the moment belongs to a man that shares his cabins with no one. The Pirate Lord, Desharik. |
| 45598 And what would this plan of yours entail? |
| 45599 No, I'll take my chances back in the magic portal under Spellhold. |
| 45600 I think I'll find someone a little more forthright to charter a ship from. |
| 45601 The Harpers might know. If I were you, I would track them down here in the city. Beware, though... their aid rarely comes without a price attached. |
| 45602 This is an isle populated solely by pirates, and they are all too happy to charter their ships, only to fling the customer overboard once at sea. |
| 45603 Well, it's your copper, as they say. |
| 45604 Then what is your plan? |
| 45605 Back to the magic portal under Spellhold then. |
| 45606 Only the whispers that come through here, which are hard to believe, really. Most of them agree that the Shadow Thieves are at war with a new, rival guild. |
| 45607 Beyond that, I'm not sure of the truth. If you go to talk to Renal Bloodscalp, the head of the guild, be careful: Many have been killed in his schemes. |
| 45608 Do you know anything about the Shadow Thieves and their war? |
| 45609 I guess that's it, then. |
| 45610 A friend of mine is being held captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know anything about where they hold their prisoners? |
| 45611 That's it, then. |
| 45612 I'll see what's on tap, thank you. |
| 45613 Could I maybe ask you a question or two? |
| 45614 Are you sure of this stance? The portal is murky, and worse, and you may lose your life without seeing your attackers. |
| 45615 All right. What alternative plan do you have for getting a ship? |
| 45616 I am certain. I will go back to the asylum and see where the portal leads. |
| 45617 Then I wish you well, but I will not accompany you. Return unto me if you have a changing; I will not be going far. |
| 45618 Ah! You return! I take it that you have reconsidered your foolish trek beneath the earth? I am still willing to transport you if you help me secure a ship. |
| 45619 What plans do you have to replace the ship that was stolen from you? |
| 45620 I am certain that the portal is the best course out of here. |
| 45621 The Pirate Lord, who so maliciously disabled my vessel, has a perfectly serviceable ship of his own. If we could make off with it, we would be set for sure. |
| 45622 His ship is moored at the docks. Under cover of night, we could take it most easy. We simply have to make sure the sea gate is opened for the bay to be clear. |
| 45623 Tell me more. |
| 45624 I've heard enough. I'm not crossing the Pirate Lord. I'll go back to the portal. |
| 45625 If you could get the horn that signals the gateman, we could blow it at night and be gone before anyone is the wiser. |
| 45626 That is your plan? What of guards? We will be seen for sure. |
| 45627 And I suppose I will have to steal the horn? Where will you be? |
| 45628 The plan could work. I agree to do it. Tell me the details. |
| 45629 This won't work. I'm going back to the portal under Spellhold. |
| 45630 Nary an eye will turn towards us. Ships leave at all hours, especially the Pirate Lord's. His nefarious business often goes through the night. |
| 45631 I will not be idle in this task either. I will see to clearing the docks of those that would report us. Come now, what say you to this? |
| 45632 It sounds possible. I will help as best I can. Give me the details of the task. |
| 45633 This won't work. I'm going back to the portal under Spellhold. |
| 45634 Kayardi |
| 45635 The portal is murky and brooding. Here, at least you can see where you head. Will you reconsider? |
| 45636 Very well. Give me the details of the plan. |
| 45637 No, my mind is set. |
| 45638 I will not be idle while you tend to the horn. I will secure the docks and prepare the ship for launch. |
| 45639 We will have clear sailing once the guards are gone. Ships leave at all hours, especially the Pirate Lord's. |
| 45640 Fine, I will attempt your plan. Give me the details of it. |
| 45641 This is nonsense. I'm going back to the portal under Spellhold. |
| 45642 The matter is simple, though stealth will be required. The horn is ornate and beautiful, and the Pirate Lord lets his lady, Cayia, keep it safe. |
| 45643 Had I the luxury of time, I might try to woo her for it, as she is of suspect morality. So I have heard, at least. |
| 45644 Retrieve the horn from her abode under cover of darkness and come to me aboard the ship by the docks. |
| 45645 Why don't we have the "luxury of time"? Why the rush? |
| 45646 Won't her pirate lover be there at night? |
| 45647 Very well, I will set out under cover of night and retrieve the horn. |
| 45648 The longer I stay in this charming town, the more likely I am to join my first ship at the bottom of the harbor. The sooner we leave, the better. |
| 45649 Very well, I'll do it. |
| 45650 I'll chance the portal under Spellhold instead. |
| 45651 Possibly. You may wish to step lightly once inside her home. A risk, yes, but not as risky as the dark of the portal beneath Spellhold. |
| 45652 All right, I'll do it. You get that ship ready though. |
| 45653 I'll chance the portal instead. |
| 45654 All right, but if it's more difficult than you say, I'll take it out on your hide. |
| 45655 Yes, for your good, I shall add it to your incentive for a quick and stealthy action. We shall be away with all haste, and you shall take this blade from me for services rendered. Go now, and do what must be done. |
| 45656 During the day, the horn is in the care of the well-guarded Pirate Lord, but at night, it hangs in Cayia's room. |
| 45657 I know enough not t' be crossin' them. The Shadow Thieves have skilled assassins at their beck an' call... with poisons that will stop yer second breath, they will. |
| 45658 Nay. If the Bloodscalp feels ye've done him wrong, ye won't see yer death comin'. Deal with the Shadow Thieves only if ye've an eye in the back o' yer head. |
| 45659 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves, exactly? |
| 45660 I hears that there's a woman behind it all, but nobody knows 'er name. She's been collectin' all the thieves she can, recruitin' amidst the ranks of the thieves not welcome in the guild. |
| 45661 And the young... and the retired, too. I was approached not so long ago. Too tired t' bother with it, even though 'twas a sweet enough deal. |
| 45662 Don't know what she plans to accomplish, that one. The Shadow Thieves be planted firm in the city. All that can come of it is blood, I think. Blood an' death, plenty o' both. |
| 45663 What do you know about this guild that's challenging the Shadow Thieves? |
| 45664 What are you doing here without the horn? The sea gates are steadfastly locked until it is blown. |
| 45665 Perhaps you could answer a few questions for me instead. |
| 45666 I suppose I could at that. But information is not my usual trade. Give me... mmm, let's say 50 gold... and I'll be more than happy to tell ye what I know. |
| 45667 Very well... 50 gold it is. |
| 45668 I don't have 50 gold to give you, I'm afraid. |
| 45669 You'll answer my questions or meet your end, thief! |
| 45670 You'll answer my questions or meet your end, thief! |
| 45671 Never mind, then. |
| 45672 I have managed to masquerade as a deck hand and can act as soon as you are ready, but I cannot do so for long. Get the horn under cover of night. |
| 45673 Let's see, now... ten, twenty, thirty... ah, yes. All here. Very well then, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. What is it that you wish to know? |
| 45674 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 45675 I've heard about a war between the Shadow Thieves and another guild. What do you know about that? |
| 45676 A friend has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards... do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45677 Kayardi |
| 45678 Forget it, I'll be on my way. |
| 45679 Then you likely can't buy me goods either. So be it, me poor <PRO_MANWOMAN>... we can be talkin' once you've some coin in yer pocket. |
| 45680 Mmm, do you sleep? The time to rise comes soon. |
| 45681 Must I go so early? The morning is far away. |
| 45682 Stay for a moment then, but know you must go come the dawn. The risk of you being discovered here is too great, then. |
| 45683 Aye, I know, but it was not I that made it so. |
| 45684 That was uncalled for. You are my choice of the moment. The past does not matter. |
| 45685 Ehhh... I've no wish to be on bad terms with ye, me good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. There be no need to wave yer weapons, heh. Ehhh... what is it ye wish to know? |
| 45686 It does if we are caught. Desharik is suspicious of you, ever since he caught you with that Saemon. |
| 45687 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 45688 I've heard about a war between the Shadow Thieves and another guild. What do you know about that? |
| 45689 A friend has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards... do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45690 Forget it, I'll be on my way. |
| 45691 Ugh, speak not his name. |
| 45692 As ye wish. I'll be here should ye decide ye're in need of me services. |
| 45693 You thought well enough of it to take him as a companion. |
| 45694 A foolishness of my youth. His words were pleasing to hear. He is very good with them. |
| 45695 That is what you said about me. |
| 45696 Then go if you are so offended. |
| 45697 I am not. I know where I stand. |
| 45698 You stand where I tell you to. If that is not enough, I will seek companionship elsewhere. |
| 45699 Heh. I know plenty of 'em. They rule the docks... if not the city itself. I hear the Grandmaster o' the Shadow Thieves sits on the Council of Six, in fact. |
| 45700 You will anyway. Ah... forgive me, I... I did not mean to offend. |
| 45701 I am beyond offense. I live with the mighty Desharik, Pirate Lord of the isle. That offends me well enough. |
| 45702 Taibela |
| 45703 Taibela |
| 45704 Then let us forget I brought it up. |
| 45705 But they be more than a single guild... Renal the Bloodscalp heads all o' the guilds and be the man to speak to if ye wish to deal with the Shadow Thieves. |
| 45706 His guild be here in the docks. But ye'll not be able to get in. Either ye meet with one who can arrange an introduction, or ye're lost. |
| 45707 Mogadish |
| 45708 I've heard about a war between the Shadow Thieves and another guild. What do you know about that? |
| 45709 A friend has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards... do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45710 Mogadish |
| 45711 I'll be going now. |
| 45712 Hmm. Aye, there be another guild recruitin' thieves to stand against the Shadow Thieves. It be unbelievable, but they may have a chance as well. |
| 45713 Blood has already been taken on either side, an' it will be a full-out war soon enough, I think, if it isn't one already. |
| 45714 There must be some terrible power behind this other guild. No ordinary group o' muggers could stand against the Shadow Thieves for more 'an a heartbeat. |
| 45715 An' if ye're thinkin' of contacting this guild, I can't. Me friends say if they wish t' contact ye, someone will appear out o' the mist itself to talk to ye. |
| 45716 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 45717 A friend has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards... do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45718 I'll be going now. |
| 45719 Now that be a secret that the Cowled Wizards share with no one. Only the wizards 'emselves would know... and the council, though no one knows who they be. |
| 45720 Aside from them two, no one knows. But a powerful ally could find out, aye? Like the Shadow Thieves. Or maybe this other guild, if ye be of risky bent. |
| 45721 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 45722 I've heard about a war between the Shadow Thieves and another guild. What do you know about that? |
| 45723 I'll be going now. |
| 45724 Cayia? |
| 45725 zzzZZzzz... |
| 45726 *sigh* Message received... sleep then... |
| 45727 Spell Triggerâ€â€Death Spell |
| 45728 Spell Triggerâ€â€Flesh to Stone Spell |
| 45729 Who... who is there?! Guards! To my aid! Intruders in my quarters! |
| 45730 Sahuagin Priestess |
| 45731 I have a question... a friend has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45732 Sahuagin Priestess |
| 45733 Do you know anything about the war between the thieves' guilds? |
| 45734 What is this?! Men! To my side! Intruders! |
| 45735 He does seem to care for you though. Look at the guard he provides you with. |
| 45736 They watch over his possessions, including me. My own guard keeps them at a distance. |
| 45737 I have a question... a friend has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45738 Do you know anything about the war between the thieves' guilds? |
| 45739 An interesting question. Unfortunately, I cannot answer. All I know is that the Cowled Wizards did not build their magical prison inside of this city. |
| 45740 There you are, my friend. Have you secured the sea-gate horn? I'm eager to flee this wretched isle. |
| 45741 The wizards hired many followers of Gond to make their prison a trap with no exit... but Gond's faithful would never reveal the details of the bargain. |
| 45742 If you cannot convince the wizards to return your friend, then your quest may be hopeless. But do not give up... the information you seek must exist. |
| 45743 Spell Triggerâ€â€Chaos |
| 45744 Aawill |
| 45745 Can you tell me about Oghma? |
| 45746 What do you know about this war between the thieves' guilds here in the city? |
| 45747 I'd like to see your services. |
| 45748 I'll be going. |
| 45749 I am aware that the Shadow Thieves are extremely powerful in Amn. Their power goes beyond mere brute force and subtle influence as well. |
| 45750 Aawill |
| 45751 If there is someone standing against such a group, they must have something to aid them... perhaps powerful magic. |
| 45752 Can you tell me about Oghma? |
| 45753 A friend has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards... do you know where they might keep their prisoners? |
| 45754 I'd like to see your services. |
| 45755 I'll be going. |
| 45756 I do not have the horn yet. |
| 45757 Yes, I have acquired the horn. Here it is. |
| 45758 Belak |
| 45759 I think I'll try the portal under the asylum instead. |
| 45760 Then I wish you well, but I won't go with you. I'll stay here and try to complete my plan on my own. |
| 45761 I've heard the Shadow Thieves are at war with another guild. Do you know anything about that? |
| 45762 Very good indeed. I've convinced the men on board that they should accompany me, and they will ready the ship for launch. We will be underway long before... |
| 45763 I've heard whispers of a thieves' war... I don't know how there could be another guild as powerful as the Shadow Thieves, but maybe it is so. |
| 45764 Stand ready, I will signal the opening of the gates. This may draw some attention. |
| 45765 It's strange. This other guild... I've heard nothing of it, but it has come into being so quickly and become so powerful... there must be more to it. |
| 45766 I see. Well, let me see what services you have. |
| 45767 Perhaps you could tell me where I could find a suitable inn. |
| 45768 Thank you. I'll be on my way. |
| 45769 As I thought it might. All right, I'll make sure any followers are dealt with. |
| 45770 You said that ships leave at all hours! You said we would not be noticed! |
| 45771 You had best hope not. If this is a trick, I'll kill you first. |
| 45772 I've a question... a friend has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45773 Certainly not. It must be wondrously devious, to hold those powerful sorcerers... unless the Cowled Wizards do not simply... ah... kill them. |
| 45774 Show me what services you have. |
| 45775 Perhaps you could tell me where I could find a suitable inn in this area. |
| 45776 I've heard rumors of thieves running the docks... do you know anything about that? |
| 45777 Thank you, I'll be on my way. |
| 45778 I've a question... a friend has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45779 Fucknut Rodriguez |
| 45780 I would like to ask a question. Do you know where the Cowled Wizards might keep their prisoners? |
| 45781 I have a friend who's been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45782 A friend of mine has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards... do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45783 What do you know about the war between the thieves' guilds? |
| 45784 Do I look like someone who could answer that for you? If they got ahold of some fool magician, those wizards could skin 'im alive and I wouldn't care less. Now get outta here. |
| 45785 Hmph. That's a story that would take more time than I have t' tell. But I s'pose I can spare you a little. |
| 45786 Some guild's sprung up as o' late. Spreadin' gold around like there's no end to it, recruitin' whoever they can lay their hands on. Assassins, thieves, fighters, you name it. |
| 45787 I've even seen a couple of 'em recruiting here. Silent-like. Very sure o' themselves. Seen one of 'em give a fella a bag full of gold, too. Must've been at least a thousand pieces. |
| 45788 This new guild ain't in it for the gold. They already GOT the gold. Must be in it for the power... |
| 45789 So that means it's gonna come down to a fight, y'see. Heard some of it's started already. An' that means it's gonna be bad fer all o' us normal folk. |
| 45790 If ye're smart, you'll keep yer head outta either of them guilds and your feet off o' the streets at night. 'Cause there'll be blood spilled aplenty, trust me. |
| 45791 So, I've warned ye now and done my bit. Now, unless ye're plannin' on actually orderin' somethin' and not just takin' up my time, get a move on. I gots things t' do. |
| 45792 You must hear things... a friend of mine has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45793 Perhaps you could tell me about the war between the thieves' guilds I've been hearing about. |
| 45794 Could I ask you a few questions, perhaps? |
| 45795 Nope. Answerin' questions only leads one into trouble. At least, that's been my experience. Excuse me, then, if I go stand somewhere else. |
| 45796 Hmm. You know... I heard once, long ago, that the Cowled Wizards hired a bunch of Gondar engineers to build a prison to hold the magically inclined. |
| 45797 But it wasn't in the city, I recall. Hmm... let me think. It was in my adventuring days, and I was actually trying to get the location of a particular tomb. |
| 45798 Well. I THINK it was somewhere in the Nelanther... the pirate isles to you, I suppose. But I guess that doesn't help you very much. |
| 45799 But even if you did know, how in Arvoreen's name would you get there? The Cowled Wizards don't take intrusion lightly. Sorry about your friend, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 45800 I'd like to see what you have available. |
| 45801 What do you know about the murders in this area? |
| 45802 You said something about having "all" types of drinks... that isn't true, is it? |
| 45803 Perhaps you could tell me about the war between the thieves' guilds I've been hearing about. |
| 45804 I'll be on my way. |
| 45805 I don't pay much attention to that myself. If the thieves are fighting amongst themselves, it would probably be better for everyone if they finished the job. |
| 45806 I'd like to see what you have available. |
| 45807 What do you know about the murders in this area? |
| 45808 You said something about having "all" types of drinks... that isn't true, is it? |
| 45809 You must hear things... a friend of mine has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45810 I'll be on my way. |
| 45811 Your transgressions against the Cowled Wizards have come to an end. Prepare to feel the wrath of the highest members of our order. |

| 45818 I may have been somewhat optimistic in my estimation, but the plan is still sound. Don't get worried just yet. |
| 45819 A question: Do you know anything about the Cowled Wizards? Perhaps where they might keep their prisoners? |
| 45820 We are almost free of this place. One blow on the horn and we can set our sails to the winds! Here we go! |
| 45821 Dispel Magic (Abjuration) Level: 3 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None A Dispel Magic spell removes magical effects upon anyone within the area. This includes effects given from spells, potions and certain magical items such as wands. It does not, however, affect enchanted magical items or spell protections such as Spell Turning and Spell Deflection. The chance of the dispel succeeding is determined by the level of the caster and the level of the magic being dispelled. The base chance of successfully dispelling is 50%. For every level that the caster of the Dispel Magic is above the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success increases by 5%. For every level that the caster of Dispel Magic is below the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success decreases by 10%. However, despite the difference in levels, there is always at least a 5% chance of success or failure. Thus, if a caster is 10 levels higher than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 5% chance of failure. Similarly if the caster is 4 levels lower than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 10% chance of success. Intuitively, this spell is almost useless if the target is 5 or more levels higher than the caster. Note: While this spell dispels the individual effects of Grease, Web, Stinking Cloud, and other such spells, it does not dispel the area of effect. |
| 45822 The gates are rising! They've fallen for our ruse! Ready yourselvesâ€â€we'll be away in a moment! |
| 45823 Eh? Well, not unless their prisoners are amongst the bodies in the river... haven't caught one for a while. But I HAVE caught fish... |
| 45824 Tarnor the Hatchetman |
| 45825 Good and good. I am certain the bulk of our enemies will be unable to approach in time. Better safe than sorry. |
| 45826 There is no call for that. I have been working with the best of intentions. There may be opposition, but they will not be here at my request. |
| 45827 Now, on yer way then. People might think ye're buying my whole stock the way you stand around here. FISH! GET YER FRESH FIIIISSSHHH! |
| 45828 Stand fastâ€â€I see lights approaching! |
| 45829 Saemon Havarian! |
| 45830 A friend has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards, and I need to find out where she's being kept. Do you know anything about that? |
| 45831 Maybe you could tell me a little about the war between the thieves' guilds I keep hearing about. |
| 45832 Heh. You know, there's all sorts of nasty stories about what the Cowled Wizards do with the mages they imprison. |
| 45833 But finding the Cowled Wizards themselves can be a feat, never mind finding their prisoners. They could be atop the Cloud Peaks for all anyone knows. |
| 45834 My advice? Talk to the Shadow Thieves. If anyone knows, or could find out, it'd be them. Trick would be gettin' them to help, but HEY, you didn't say it had to be easy. |
| 45835 You've heard about that, have you? Well, my hat's off to whoever could pull together a guild to rival the Shadow Thieves. |
| 45836 But make no mistake: That other guild won't survive long. The Shadow Thieves aren't about to let them be kicked out of another city, not after Waterdeep. |
| 45837 But who knows? Maybe this other guild just has the drop on them. I just wish we knew more about what to expect should this other guild come into power. Could affect me plenty, you know? |
| 45838 A question: A friend has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where they keep their prisoners? |
| 45839 What do you know of the war between the thieves' guilds here in the city? |
| 45840 What the what? Strangers walking in our midst! Whose blasted job was it to keep watch? Spoiled our hidin' for sure! |
| 45841 Tarnor the Hatchetman |
| 45842 Greetings. I must be on my way. |
| 45843 Blank stares all around! All right then, I alone get the spoils! You there! Hand over your loot, or I split your skulls wide! 1,000 gold will do! |
| 45844 Not a chance. I'm not paying for simply walking by! |
| 45845 I don't want any trouble. Can't we just part amiably? |
| 45846 All right, here's your damned gold. |
| 45847 I think you had best hand over your own, or I'll end your life where you stand! |
| 45848 Then you will fall before the might of my axe! Maybe I'll let Gallchobhair and Draug have a piece of you as well! |
| 45849 sorcerer |
| 45850 The answer would be no, and I now demand a yes or no answer from you! 1,000 gold or your lives! Will you pay? |
| 45851 monk |
| 45852 All right, yes! |
| 45853 No, I will not! |
| 45854 My answer will be the heads of your friends on a pike! |

| 45866 SORCERER: Sorcerers are practitioners of magic who were born with the innate ability to cast spells. It is thought that the blood of some powerful creature flows through their veins; perhaps they are the spawn of the gods themselves, or even dragons walking in humanoid form. Regardless, the Sorcerer's magic is intuitive rather than logical. They know fewer spells than Mages, and acquire spells more slowly, but they can cast spells more often and have no need to select and prepare spells ahead of time. Sorcerers cannot specialize in magic the way Mages do. Other than these differences, a Sorcerer is very similar to a Mage. CLASS FEATURES: – May not wear any armor. – May only use the following weapons: dagger, quarterstaff, dart, sling. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any weapon class. – May not place any slots in any fighting style. – May cast arcane spells. – May not scribe spells into their spellbooks as Mages do. Instead, Sorcerers learn a small number of spells at each level, which they can cast daily without memorization. – Hit Die: d4 |
| 45867 MONK: Monks are warriors who pursue perfection through contemplation as well as action. They are versatile fighters, especially skilled in combat without weapons or armor. Though Monks cannot cast spells, they have a unique magic of their own: they channel a subtle energy, called ki, which allows them to perform amazing feats. The Monk's best known feat is their ability to stun an opponent with an unarmed blow. CLASS FEATURES: – May not wear any armor. – May only use weapons available to the Thief class (except two-handed). – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any weapon class. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in Single-Weapon Style and may not put slots into any other style. – Moves 2 points faster than other characters. Movement rate further improves by 1 every 5 levels. – May make 1 unarmed attack per round. An additional 1/2 attack per round is gained every 3 levels. Damage dealt by unarmed attacks increases with level as follows: Level 1-2: 1d6 Level 3-5: 1d8 Level 6-8: 1d10 Level 9-14: 1d12 Level 15+: 1d20 – At level 9, unarmed attacks are treated as a +1 magical weapon and gain a +1 bonus to hit and damage rolls. This enchantment improves to +2 at level 12, +3 at level 15, and +4 at level 25. – Receives a +2 bonus to Saving Throws vs. Spell. – Deflect Missiles: +1 bonus to AC vs. missile attacks every 3 levels. – Starts with an Armor Class of 9 at 1st level and gains an additional +1 bonus every 2 levels. – May use the Stunning Blow ability once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 4 levels thereafter. STUNNING BLOW: All successful attacks within the next round force the victim to save vs. Spell or be stunned. This special ability automatically modifies normal attacks; no targeting needs to be done. – 5th level: Becomes immune to all diseases and cannot be slowed or hasted. – 7th level: May use the Lay On Hands ability on <PRO_HIMHER>self to heal 2 Hit Points per level. – 8th level: Gains a -1 bonus to Speed Factor. – 9th level: Gains a +1 bonus to all Saving Throws and becomes immune to charm. – 11th level: Becomes immune to poison. – 12th level: Gains another -1 bonus to Speed Factor. – 13th level: May use the Quivering Palm ability once per day. QUIVERING PALM: The next successful attack forces the opponent to save vs. Spell or die. This special ability automatically modifies normal attacks; no targeting needs to be done. – 14th level: Gains 3% Magic Resistance per level (starting with 42% at 14th level). – 20th level: Becomes immune to non-magical weapons. – Alignment restricted to lawful. – Hit Die: d8 |
| 45868 Gallchobhair |
| 45869 BARBARIAN: A Barbarian can be an excellent warrior. While not as disciplined or as skilled as a Fighter, the Barbarian can willingly throw <PRO_HIMHER>self into a berserker rage, becoming a tougher and stronger opponent. CLASS FEATURES: – May not wear armor heavier than splint mail. – May not exceed Specialization (two slots) with any weapon class. – May achieve Specialization (two slots) in any fighting style and allocate three slots in Two-Weapon Style. – Moves 2 points faster than other characters. – Immune to backstab. – May use the Rage ability once per day. Gains one use at level 1 and an additional use every 4 levels thereafter. RAGE: The enraged status lasts for 5 rounds and provides a +4 bonus to Strength and Constitution, a -2 penalty to Armor Class and a +2 bonus to Saving Throws vs. Spell, as well as immunity to all charm, hold, fear, maze, stun, sleep, confusion, and level drain spells. – 11th level: Gains 10% resistance to crushing, slashing, piercing, and missile damage. An additional 5% is gained at levels 15 and 19. – Hit Die: d12 |
| 45870 I cannot say that I do. Even if the Order wished to find the location of their prison, the Cowled Wizards would not tell us. They fear little. |
| 45872 And I am afraid there is little that the Order... or even the council... can truly do to say otherwise. I hope that Tyr smiles on your friend and that he is safe, if he is truly guiltless. |
| 45873 Gaius |
| 45874 Little, but anything that curtails the influence of the Shadow Thieves is a boon. I would eject them from Athkatla the same as Waterdeep, had I the power. |
| 45875 I am no fool, however. I know little of this other guild and have no delusion that replacing one serpent with an unknown would be a better thing. |
| 45876 In the matter of their war, I am content to have the Order watch and ensure that their struggle does not consume innocents in its progress. And that is all. |
| 45877 Berkref |
| 45878 As you wish. If you desire any service, <CHARNAME>, I would not hesitate to render it. |
| 45879 Rengaard |
| 45880 I'm afraid not. But I've a question... a friend of mine was taken by the Cowled Wizards. Know where she might be? |
| 45881 No. But I'm wondering if you can tell me about the war between the thieves' guilds. |
| 45882 The Cowled Wizards keep their own counsel on that matter, I'm afraid. They keep their own prison, I imagine, but its location is kept a secret. |
| 45883 If your friend was taken, it must have been for using magic in the city. A clear crime, though not worthy of indefinite imprisonment, in my opinion. |
| 45884 But the Cowled Wizards keep their own opinions on that too. My only suggestion is to speak to my own superiors at the main building in the Government District. |
| 45885 Either Chief Inspector Brega or Magistrate Bylanna Ianulin may help, but even they have limited influence over the Cowled Wizards. It's just the way it is. |
| 45886 Hmph. I myself am more worried about innocents being killed rather than rogues going and killing each other. Although it is no less a violation of the law. |
| 45887 All I can do is tell you to be careful, especially in the Docks District. This rival guild and the Shadow Thieves are at war, and it will get bloodier before it's over. |
| 45888 What do you know about the murders in the area? |
| 45889 Find Familiar (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 1 Range: n/a Duration: Special Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 familiar Saving Throw: None This spell enables the caster to attempt to summon a familiar to act as <PRO_HISHER> aide and companion. Familiars are typically small creatures. A creature acting as a familiar can benefit a wizard, conveying its sensory powers to its master, conversing with <PRO_HIMHER>, and serving as a guard/scout/spy as well. A wizard can have only one familiar at a time, and <PRO_HESHE> has no control over what sort of creature answers the summoning, if any come at all. (Note: This spell may only be cast by the protagonist.) The creature is always more intelligent than others of its type (typically by 2 or 3 Intelligence points), and its bond with the wizard confers upon it an exceptionally long life. The wizard has an empathic link with the familiar and can issue it mental commands. The caster receives half the familiar's total Hit Points (rounded down) as bonus Hit Points. However, the caster must take care to treat <PRO_HISHER> familiar well, for if the familiar should die, the caster loses the bonus Hit Points and half the familiar's Hit Points again as damage. Also when a familiar dies, the caster loses 1 point of Constitution PERMANENTLY. Example: A Mage has 12 Hit Points and casts Find Familiar. The imp summoned has 18 Hit Points, so the caster gets a bonus of 9 Hit Points. The caster now has 21 Hit Points. If the familiar dies, the caster loses those 9 Hit Points (putting <PRO_HIMHER> back at 12), loses 1 point of Constitution permanently (which may cause additional Hit Point loss), and takes 9 damage. Here is a list of the familiars that the player receives according to alignment: LAWFUL GOOD, NEUTRAL GOOD: Pseudo Dragon – Hit Points: 24 – Armor Class: -2 – Magic Resistance: 50% – Combat: 2 attacks per round at 13 THAC0 for 1d3 damage, save vs. Death or be rendered unconscious for 2 turns – Special Abilities: Can cast Blur once per day.

| 45890 A friend of mine has been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know, perhaps, where they might have taken her? |
| 45891 What do you know about the war between the thieves' guilds here in the city? |
| 45892 Very little, aside from their rather gruesome nature. My sources say the flaying is far too precise to be the fault of a simple creature. |
| 45893 One of the city's inspectors is near here. A Lieutenant Aegisfield, as I recall. Just off to the east, by the gate. He would know far more than I. |
| 45894 I hope Inspector Aegisfield finds the culprit soon. In the Bridge District, we've always been something of a family, and it pains me to see everyone full of paranoia now. *sigh* |
| 45895 Ah. Well, perhaps I misspoke myself. I know many businesses, but not much about the magical business. I'm afraid I can't help you very much on that point. |
| 45896 But I can say that I've been told the Cowled Wizards keep a special prison for the mages they capture. Off in the ocean, so the story goes. |
| 45897 Too bad stories like those don't give out specifics, eh? Like coordinates or names. Best of luck, though, in tracking down your friend. You'll need it. |
| 45898 Aw, hell. Uh... Iâ€â€I'll be below deck securing the... um... s-something, ah... |
| 45899 Only thieves could have a war in plain sight without leaving a trail of bodies, eh? But if you know about the war, you probably know about who's involved. |
| 45900 You got the Shadow Thieves on one hand and a new, upstart guild on the other. The upstarts have one advantage... nobody knows anything about them. |
| 45901 You can't even approach them. They approach you, their recruiters appearing out of nowhere. I hear the upstarts have powerful dark magic too. |
| 45902 And it makes sense, too. What else could make the Shadow Thieves pause for more than a second? Simple thief rivals would be squashed flat. |
| 45903 Not to discount the Shadow Thieves, though. They've got power enough in Athkatla to take on anyone... even the Cowled Wizards. I'll just wait this out. |
| 45904 What do you know about the murders in the area? |
| 45905 I have a friend who's been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards. Any idea where that prison might be? |
| 45906 I've heard a lot about a war between the thieves' guilds in the city. Do you know anything about that? |
| 45907 Wizard Eye |
| 45908 Wizard Eye |
| 45909 You may only have one explorer active at a time. |
| 45910 You'll stand where you are, Havarian! You've gone too far this time! |
| 45911 If I have wronged you in some fashion, I am dreadfully sorry. I was not aware of any offense... |
| 45912 Your pretty words are wasted on me, cur. I have seen your like a dozen times over and buried them all! |
| 45913 I am lord of this isle, and yet you have undermined my authority at every turn! Trading falsehoods, cuckoldry, and now my ship suffers your touch! |
| 45914 Kill the scoundrel, Desharik! His mouth will spew nothing but lies! |
| 45915 Your mouth is no better! How else would he have got the gate horn if not by taking your company again?! |
| 45916 B-but... Desharik, dear, you know my feelings for you... |
| 45917 Madam, you are a ravening ditch pig. |
| 45918 You have brought me to the brink of madness, Saemon Havarian, and now I will repay you! |
| 45919 Sir, you must believe that I am totally sincere when I sayâ€â€<CHARNAME>! GET HIM! |
| 45920 Your lackeys will not save you! |
| 45921 Even my woman suffered your scrutiny. My honor is thoroughly offended, ditch pig though she was. |
| 45922 You're half right, Desharik! Cast off! We set sail immediately! As for you, <CHARNAME>, I know you are not one of my henchmen, and I should not order you about so. |
| 45923 Saemon! You will live to regret this! |
| 45924 Cast off the mains! We are away! Set sights on the mainland! As for you, <CHARNAME>, I know you are not one of my henchmen, and I should not order you about so. |
| 45925 <CHARNAME>! You have been invaluable in service to me! |
| 45926 That's all well and good, but I have been more use to you than you to me. |
| 45927 Stow it, Saemon. You have used me. |
| 45928 I have enjoyed it, despite the confusion and death. |
| 45929 Your captain is dead, and my ship is safely moored! Flee while you can! There will be no passage off this isle by any ship at my port! |
| 45930 Please, allow me to show some appreciation. I am accustomed to paying my debts, at least in some form or another, and I will not make exception. |
| 45931 Here is a fine weapon I acquired in my past. I know not its origins, but it is spectacular in weight and cut. |
| 45932 It is yours. I give it to you without reservation or hesitation. |
| 45933 A token gesture, but I will accept it as partial payment. |
| 45934 Thank you, Saemon. It looks a fine weapon. |
| 45935 If you insist, though I have weapons enough now. |
| 45936 Enjoy it as you will. Now, we are all but away. Gather what loot you can, for the sea will surely wash all bodies overboard once we hit open water. |
| 45937 Be quickâ€â€we have but seconds before we clear the sea gate! |
| 45938 Ready yourselves... I know not who these ruffian pirates are... Desharik's men, perhaps? |
| 45939 The githyanki demand! You have the relic of holies! |
| 45940 Pardon? I am sorry, but I do not know what you are talking about. Ehâ€â€speak clearly that I might understand. |
| 45941 Understand! We see all that you do! Say mon HaVaran, you have trespassed and taken what is not yours! |
| 45942 Please, the name is spoken with more of a flourish, and a good deal less spittle. |
| 45943 Your name will be spoken with blades for tongues! You took the relic of holies! We will follow as we must! |
| 45944 Now who would be foolish enough to steal from the githyanki...? Er... if that is what you are. |
| 45945 I plead innocence, and demand you search me that I might prove it! Search all aboard if you wish! |
| 45946 That is the intent! Inside and out! |
| 45947 Just a minute, here! I protest! |
| 45948 Search if you must. We delay our journey needlessly! |
| 45949 I will not have anyone going through my possessions! |
| 45950 Now, <CHARNAME>, you'll have to trust me on this matter. I will provide for all those concerned. |
| 45951 Search away, Captain! You'll not find any such object on me. |
| 45952 Although I don't know about these ruffians on deck! I don't like the look of them. Give them a thorough look! |
| 45953 Blind Priest |
| 45954 Blind Priest |
| 45955 Saemon! |
| 45956 Just providing for those concerned... me. My apologies, <CHARNAME>. |
| 45957 The blade belonging to the githyanki is aboard! Detection does not lie! All will perish for this insult! |
| 45958 But you can search and take the true thieves! Take the whole crew if you must! |
| 45959 Examples must be set! None must tempt such a crime again! Destroy them all! |
| 45960 This just isn't a good tenday. |
| 45961 Prepare to abandon ship! She takes on water! |
| 45962 Sahuagin board us! This ship is doomed! Ready yourselves for the water... |
| 45963 A friend of mine, Imoen, was taken captive by the Cowled Wizards for using magic in the city. Is there anything I can do to free her? |
| 45964 What can you tell me about the war between the thieves' guilds that I've been hearing about? |
| 45965 I see. But your friend used magic within the city limits. You are aware that this is a violation of Amn law? We do not allow magic-users to go unchecked. |
| 45966 But how long is she to be imprisoned? Imoen is no evil sorceress! |
| 45967 The Cowled Wizards go unchecked, don't they? |
| 45968 I demand that she be released! We were attacked and kidnapped by a wizard, and Imoen did not even know that she was in Amn! |
| 45969 Is there nothing that can be done? Is there no way I can speak directly to the Cowled Wizards? |
| 45970 It has been our experience that magic corrupts. Did you see the result of your friend's battle in the promenade? An entire section collapsed! |
| 45971 The Cowled Wizards will have taken your friend for... rehabilitation. And she will not be released until that process is completed. |
| 45972 But Imoen wasn't responsible for what happened in the promenade. That was another wizard; we got there at the end of the battle. |
| 45973 What kind of rehabilitation are you talking about? How long does that take? |
| 45974 But the Cowled Wizards are allowed to use their magic, aren't they? Aren't they corrupt, in your estimation? |
| 45975 I demand that she be released! We were attacked and kidnapped by a wizard, and Imoen did not even know that she was in Amn! |
| 45976 Is there nothing that can be done? Is there no way I can speak directly to the Cowled Wizards? |
| 45977 We allow the Cowled Wizards to practice their magic so long as they put down the illegal use of magic around the city. And they do a fine job. |
| 45978 How long is Imoen supposed to be imprisoned, then? She's no evil sorceress! |
| 45979 I demand that she be released! We were attacked and kidnapped by a wizard, and Imoen did not even know that she was in Amn! |
| 45980 Is there nothing that can be done? Is there no way I can speak directly to the Cowled Wizards? |
| 45981 You must be joking! The Cowled Wizards run the show, and you can't even admit it! |
| 45982 Ignorance of the law is no excuse, dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>. And if you were kidnapped by a wizard, that just shows how dangerous such powerful magic can be, correct? |
| 45983 If the Cowled Wizards arrested your friend, they did so with justification. She has been imprisoned legally, and angry demands will not change that. |
| 45984 But how long is she to be imprisoned? Imoen is no evil sorceress! |
| 45985 But the Cowled Wizards are just as dangerous then! How can you justify allowing them to use magic and no one else? |
| 45986 Is there nothing that can be done? Is there no way I can speak directly to the Cowled Wizards? |
| 45987 Tell me where she has been imprisoned, at least. I would like to see her. |
| 45988 You wish to speak to the Cowled Wizards? Well... you can't. They're not an official arm of our government and not... subject to normal legal procedure. |
| 45989 Er... if you are asking what legal recourse you have, there is little anyone can do. Your friend will be imprisoned until her... rehabilitation is complete. |
| 45990 What kind of rehabilitation are you talking about? How long does that take? |
| 45991 This is outrageous! Are you saying that you allow the Cowled Wizards to kidnap people, and there is nothing you can do about it? |
| 45992 I see. I will find my own way to free her, then. |
| 45993 Another wizard or your Imoen, it matters not. She used magic... the Cowled Wizards cannot stop to sort out who was directly responsible for the damage. |
| 45994 But if this Imoen you speak of is a good and responsible user of her abilities, then... then I imagine that her rehabilitation would... not take long. |
| 45995 What is this rehabilitation you're talking about? How long does it normally take? |
| 45996 So Imoen doesn't even get a trial? Are you saying the Cowled Wizards can simply take her and do as they please? This is outrageous! |
| 45997 I see. I'll find my own way to release her, then. |
| 45998 It would... well... *sigh* I will not lie to you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. We do not normally concern ourselves overmuch with the prisoners that the Cowled Wizards take. |
| 45999 For the most part, these magic-users they capture are dangerous or psychotic... protecting us from these people is a valuable service. |
| 46000 If... if they have taken someone out of zealousness, because she was a mage present at a major magical disturbance... well, I can do nothing. |
| 46001 The Cowled Wizards are not under our command. They do us a service, but they do as they wish. Their prison is a secret, even to us, as are their methods. |
| 46002 I see you have made yourself at home. I didn't think you would feel out of place here. |
| 46003 The seas are calm, but the voyage is tense, and Saemon spends much of his time below decks. He acts as though he expects some great tragedy and that by avoiding you, he can escape its influence. The course he has set is true though, and you think you will make the mainland in a few days. On the fourth morn, a ship is spotted to the east, and a visibly shaken Saemon orders a change of course. The winds are against him, however, and the other vessel makes steady and remarkable progress towards you. Saemon grows increasingly nervous, and rightfully so: The ship looks odd, and you swear it may not even be resting upon the water. Inevitably, it pulls alongside and reveals a crew like no other. Saemon orders everyone to have weapons at the ready... |
| 46004 Fovem |
| 46005 Fovem |
| 46006 I am sorry, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>, but there is truly nothing that we can do for you. Hopefully, the Cowled Wizards will see their error and release your friend. |
| 46007 That is not... not quite correct, dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>. But I will not lie to you. We normally do not concern ourselves overmuch with the prisoners the wizards take. |
| 46008 End Spell |
| 46009 I cannot tell you where the prison is, for I do not know. Normally, dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>, we do not concern ourselves overmuch with those the Cowled Wizards take... |
| 46010 I would suggest that you wait, if you can. The Cowled Wizards may realize their mistake, perhaps, and release your friend. |
| 46011 But I cannot otherwise offer you help. I am sorry... I wish it were otherwise. Good luck in finding her. |
| 46012 Hmm, I am aware that another guild of thieves has supposedly arisen to challenge the Shadow Thieves, but my only concern is the safety of the city. |
| 46013 Thievery must not run rampant, and I do not wish for innocents to be hurt by their war. Beyond that, I don't see how this is your concern, dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 46014 A friend of mine, Imoen, was taken captive by the Cowled Wizards for using magic in the city. Is there anything I can do to free her? |
| 46015 What can you tell me about the war between the thieves' guilds that I've been hearing about? |
| 46016 Do not look so surprised; you must have expected to find me near your Imoen. |
| 46017 I am surprised that you are allowed to walk around freely. I would have killed you. |
| 46018 You are foolish to approach me so brazenly! No wonder you are in this asylum! |
| 46019 You are an afterthought. My concern is Imoen, not your imprisonment. |
| 46020 What is it worth? I need to save up enough coin to rescue a friend being held by the Cowled Wizards. |
| 46021 Oh, but I'm not incarcerated hereâ€â€no, I am the new coordinator, and you are in my care... once again. |
| 46022 Is there a reward? I need to gather coin to aid a friend being held captive by the Cowled Wizards, you see. |
| 46023 It is fortunate you arrived when you did. I am eager to resume my experiments and was growing tired of the waiting. |
| 46024 Suppose I decide to help you. I need to gather coin to aid a friend being held by the Cowled Wizards... is there a reward involved? |
| 46025 What are you talking about? Is this another Cowled Wizard trick? |
| 46026 A foolish plan. I am quite capable of countering any Cowled Wizard ambush. |
| 46027 The Cowled Wizards no longer run the asylum. With Bodhi's aid, I was able to take control quite quickly. She is a fine sibling, if a touch predatory. |
| 46028 You'll pay for what you've done, Irenicus! I owe you a great debt of pain! |
| 46029 Whether inmate or master, you are the monster that I have sworn to kill! |
| 46030 I have come for Imoen, and nothing you can do will prevent me from saving her! |
| 46031 You are intent on revenge or justice or whatever, but I don't really care. You can't do anything I don't wish you to. |
| 46032 You will find you are powerless. I have taken precautions that you will not be damaged. Your rage is for naught. |
| 46033 There is no battle, no heroics. Only sleep. |
| 46034 Well... I need to gather coin to save a friend that's been imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards. Is there a reward, perhaps? |
| 46035 Perhaps, if there's a reward involved. I need to gather coin to rescue a friend imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards. |
| 46036 I might. But I need to gather coin to rescue a friend imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards. Is there a reward? |
| 46037 I am saving coin to rescue a friend imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards, so I will need a reward. |
| 46038 I might. But I am saving coin to rescue a friend imprisoned by the Cowled Wizards. Is there a reward? |
| 46039 I am gathering coin to rescue a friend, so if there's a reward, I suppose I could. |
| 46040 I am saving coin to rescue a friend... what would the reward be for this task? |
| 46041 You're a Cowled Wizard? Perhaps you could tell me where the Cowled Wizards keep their prisoners. A friend of mine is being held. |
| 46042 Hmph. I seem to recall that my order had a prison built by the Gondars somewhere to house deviants, but I've no idea where it is. I cannot be bothered to keep track of such irrelevant matters. |
| 46043 And even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you. That is Cowled Wizard business. Now... unless you've business of your own, leave me to my project. |
| 46044 If you're a Cowled Wizard, why don't you do something about all the killings around here? |
| 46045 Perhaps you could tell me what you know about the killings in this area. |
| 46046 What is this... thing... you're making? |
| 46047 Er... Daar didn't send me, but I did talk to him. Why don't you give him a break? |
| 46048 Why would you be upset if I was sent by this Daar fellow you mentioned? |
| 46049 I'll be going, then. |
| 46050 You're a Cowled Wizard... do you know where the Cowled Wizards keep the prisoners that they take? |
| 46051 I need to collect a large amount of coin to rescue a friend... might there be a reward if I did this task for you? |
| 46052 I need to collect a large amount of gold to rescue a friend... so I want to know if there is a reward first. |
| 46053 I need to save up a large amount of gold to rescue a friend being held by the Cowled Wizards. Is there a reward, perhaps? |
| 46054 I need to gather a large amount of gold to rescue a friend being held by the Cowled Wizards. Might there be a reward involved? |
| 46055 I could. But I need to gather a large amount of gold to rescue a friend. Is there a reward? |
| 46056 I need to gather a large amount of gold to rescue a friend being held by the Cowled Wizards, so I'll need a reward. |
| 46057 Or go north from here to the river and find that Madulf and his beasts. I have little doubt that they are responsible for all of this, but we must be sure! |
| 46058 I am relieved you have decided to help us. You have the run of the village, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. If you... need anything else... do not hesitate to come to me. |
| 46059 You will need to obtain the Symbol of Amaunator to open this door. The inscription on the door says that the symbol has been broken into three parts so that the darkness will never escape this prison. |
| 46060 Carmine of the Wheel |
| 46061 Several men went to her cabin southwest of the village... and they found no sign of her. It is not like her to be absent for so long. I... I fear the worst. |
| 46062 Soon after, shepherds and farmers from the outlying holds began disappearing. People heard strange noises at night... and we have no ranger to turn to! |
| 46063 Carmine of the Wheel |
| 46064 I am trying to do something! I just... Everyone remain calm! Panic will not help! I... I am going to return to my home now. Everyone, go home... please... |
| 46065 Her cabin is west of the village, in the valley. It... it should not be hard to find. There are other, older cabins in the hills... abandoned for many years. |
| 46066 You'll pay, you will. I'll see to it! |
| 46067 I stand by me claims. A pox on yer father's father if you think otherwise. |
| 46068 I've never been so insulted in all my born days. You, sir, are a rotter! |
| 46069 It's just to the west of the village, out in the valley. Nobody wants to go out there now because they're all scared. But I know I saw something, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 46070 Stow it in yer aft deck, milksop. |
| 46071 Gentlemen, if you please? I have three other duels to govern today, and I haven't time for the particulars of each. |
| 46072 Quite all right from my standpoint. His commentary on my lineage demands blood. |
| 46073 Madulf also be thinking about what you say, that humans being killed just like Madulf's fellows. Very bad. Bad things around this place. |
| 46074 And his constant blathering demands me boot to his backside. |
| 46075 I'll do you for that, right straight I will. |
| 46076 Then bring your weapons to bear, gentlemen. I will duly record the outcome and prevent any investigation of impropriety. |
| 46077 Huh? |
| 46078 He means he'll make sure I don't get in trouble for killing your sorry posterior. |
| 46079 Madulf remembers, though... Madulf see something happen by cabin that is'a west of human village. Cabin that once belonging to Merella-ranger, Madulf thinks. |
| 46080 That's the last I hear from yer pompous tongue, I swear! |
| 46081 Madulf sees from a distance, sees small man fighting giant wolf. Wolf with arms and legs. It is evil, Madulf knows, and Madulf see wolf kill the man. |
| 46082 Then Madulf run. But maybe youse go to cabin and see if wolf still there. Maybe... maybe not. But Madulf see and remember... wolf could be part of badness all around. |
| 46083 That all Madulf think of for now. Youse go now, and Madulf give you his thanks. |

| 46099 I may be able to help you. But I need to gather a large amount of gold to rescue a friend, so I'd be interested in knowing what you offer as payment. |
| 46100 I need to gather a large amount of gold to rescue a friend... so your payment had best be worth my time. |
| 46101 Very well. I need to gather a large amount of gold to rescue a friend, so I'll join you. |
| 46102 This has been too much to take in. Let us get away from here and away from him. Lead on. |
| 46103 Fine, then. Free it is. So long as we get a portion of the treasure to help Imoen. |
| 46104 A quick prayer to Umberlee is all that stands 'tween me an' the sea's bottom, sure enough, eh? |
| 46105 Ye've seen your last tea biscuit, dandy boy. |
| 46106 Culture will defeat you loutish brutes each and every time. |
| 46107 Well sported, sir. I shall have Desharik apprised of the results. |
| 46108 I have the gem, but I need more gold for it... a friend of mine is captive to the Cowled Wizards, and I need gold to rescue her. |
| 46109 I need to gather a large amount of gold to rescue a friend of my own, so I would be interested in a reward. |
| 46110 I see. I need to gather a large amount of gold to rescue a friend of my own, however, so I would be interested in some kind of reward. |
| 46111 I need to collect a large amount of gold to rescue a friend of my own, so any reward you could offer would be appreciated. |
| 46112 I need a large amount of gold to rescue a friend of my own, so I would like to know what reward you are offering first. |

| 46115 My friend Imoen was taken by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where she is or where I could get help? |
| 46116 Perhaps you could tell me about the war between the thieves' guilds I've heard so much about. |
| 46117 If you ask me, those damnable wizards have far too much leeway to come and go as they please. The council gave an inch, and they took the proverbial mile. |
| 46118 And that also means, regrettably, that we can do nothing if we oppose their actions. And still the council deludes itself thinking the Cowled Wizards obey them. |
| 46119 Bah! You know better, I am sure. Allowing those wizards to take a man indefinitely or worse for casting a magic missile is hardly justice in my eyes! |
| 46120 But I can't help you or your friend. Nobody knows where the wizards keep their prison, either. All I can say is speak to the magistrate, Bylanna Ianulin. |
| 46121 She is in this room, but I doubt she can help much either, despite what she might suggest. I... am sorry. I hope this Imoen is well and the wizards take pity. |
| 46122 There is little we can do. The Shadow Thieves are entrenched, and this new guild has more power than expected. Both, however, are adept at avoiding authority. |
| 46123 The best we can hope is to prevent the city going up in flames in the meantime... and that whichever of them remains will be weak enough to push out. |
| 46124 If you are thinking of dealing with either, don't. A number of bodies have turned up... recruits by either side. I am sure you don't want end like that. |
| 46125 So take heed and stay off the streets at night. I am sure this will all be over soon enough. |
| 46126 My friend Imoen was taken by the Cowled Wizards. Do you know where she is or where I could get help? |
| 46127 Perhaps you could tell me about the war between the thieves' guilds I've heard so much about. |
| 46128 I must gather a large amount of gold to rescue a friend of mine, so any reward you could offer would be appreciated. |
| 46129 I do need the gold, even if only to help my friend Imoen. |
| 46130 I need to gather a copious amount of gold to rescue an old comrade... so I require a reward from you for this. |
| 46131 I will take your gold, as I have unfinished business with Imoen and that wizard. No other reason. |
| 46132 I may do this, but I am gathering a large amount of gold to rescue a friend and would need a reward. |
| 46133 I'm wondering something first. I need gold to rescue an old friend... is there a reward for capturing this murderer? |
| 46134 Hmph, I am hardly one to promote vigilantism in the city, but I suppose the answer would be yes. There would be a reward if you uncovered the murderer. |
| 46135 But I want evidence, not more deaths on my hands. If you can't aid my search with a bit of tact, I would rather you kept out of it altogether, understood? |
| 46136 I'm wondering something... might there be a reward for finding this murderer you speak of? |

| 46154 I also have it on authority of Isaea Roenall that Nalia was distraught after the death of her father, and that he has placed her under his care as a protective measure. |
| 46155 I am afraid it is his word against yours, and no matter what you think Nalia has said of her motivations, Isaea is the more credible claimant. |
| 46156 Even an accusation can be harmful when a man's honor is at stake. I will listen if you have other concerns, but best you have proof to back them up. Good day. |
| 46157 Isaea is an officer in good standing. I will not see a man's name dragged through the mud without good reason. |
| 46158 Remember that nothing is proven. Any number of factors could place his insignia there and not directly involve him. Whatever the truth is, we will be sure to expose it. |
| 46159 If the allegations you have made are true, we owe you a debt. Such bad apples are a very destructive influence on our effectiveness. |
| 46160 Nalia, my dear, I must reiterate what a shame it is your father is no longer with us. He was a fine man despite his eccentricities. |
| 46161 He spoke well of you too, Lord Farthington. |
| 46162 Yes, well, mutual respect, despite our little spats. That was the key to his success. My sympathies again, Nalia. |
| 46163 Lord de'Arnise certainly kept varied company. I recognize very few people, least of all yourself. If you would excuse me... |
| 46164 What do you want? Nobody gets on the Pirate Lord's ship. Not no one. |
| 46165 Look, I'm not supposed to speak to anyone. You can talk all day about whatever you want, but no one gets aboard the ship. That's all there is to say about that. |
| 46166 What if I offered you gold just to look around? Would you be open to that? |
| 46167 No need to get testy; I'll leave. |
| 46168 I bet he's just fussy about keeping his poop deck clean. |
| 46169 Where can I find this Pirate Lord? |
| 46170 It was good of you to come, Nalia. I know your father would have appreciated it. |
| 46171 I hope so. I'm sure quite a few of his business partners could do without seeing me. |
| 46172 That may well be, but today is not the time for such things. We are celebrating a life in this place, and all grievances should be put aside. |
| 46173 I will try, Minister Adelain. |
| 46174 Again, your father would have appreciated it. Wander and speak with the others, and talk of how you felt about him. |
| 46175 I have told everyone else to do as much. Your father would prefer the honest talking of friends over prewritten speeches. |
| 46176 Enjoy the company of others in the remembrance of Lord de'Arnise. He gave much to life while he lived. |
| 46177 Welcome to this place for this somber occasion. Mingle and celebrate the life of Lord de'Arnise. He would have everyone speak as equals. |
| 46178 Oh, Lord de'Arnise did fraternize with some... colorful company, I must say. Not what I would expect from a gentleman's funeral. |
| 46179 Oh, Nalia, I have heard how you have been in dreadful straits since your father's death. I can only imagine the horrors you have endured. |
| 46180 But my dear, the wandering like a gypsy, the company you have had to keep... Isaea has painted quite the unsavory picture. |
| 46181 Miss Tandolan? I'm not sure what you mean. |
| 46182 Oh, he has, has he? He talks far too much for my comfort, Miss Tandolan. If you would excuse me? |
| 46183 Of course, my dear. I wish you peace. |
| 46184 I'm rather glad I came. This is turning into quite the place to be seen. |
| 46185 Strange that more have not come to the funeral, though the market has fluctuated lately and many nobles are absorbed in their figures and books. |
| 46186 I would have hoped they could have made time. |
| 46187 Oh, Nalia, I quite agree. He may not have been the most cutthroat of businessmen, but your father deserved respect. |
| 46188 Thank you for that, Lord Donderbeg. |
| 46189 My pleasure, my dear, though the honor to say such is mine. I hope I can aspire to gauge my integrity by comparison to your father's. |
| 46190 You always were one of the more understanding of father's friends. |
| 46191 I thank you, my dear. Now go, and don't let the dark cloud above this place seep into your heart. |
| 46192 Not that you would be able to relate to that. Then again, perhaps it is rather better that you do not. You at least showed up, whoever you are. |
| 46193 Would that Lord de'Arnise were here now. He always brightened a room with his antics. |
| 46194 Damn ye for dyin', Arnise! Ye still owed me a keg and a hunt since me last visit. To your health, wherever you are! |
| 46195 Bonchy? Is that you? |
| 46196 Who would know me nickname? Little Nally Nalia! Oh, you are a sight for my eyes, I tell you! Oh, but girlie, I am sorry for what has happened. |
| 46197 Don't be sorry. Father would love that you came. You scare the nobles something fierce. |
| 46198 That I do, and rightfully so! Someone has to liberate the people beneath the yoke of the nobles! Soon comes the time to strike! |
| 46199 Bonchy! |
| 46200 Heheheee, look at 'em squirm around the room. Oh, I don't mean nothing, but they don't know that. |
| 46201 Thanks, Bonchy. You've made me smile. |
| 46202 Then my work is done for the tenday. I will leave on this good note, before we start to crying and backslapping. |
| 46203 If you must, Bonchy. Safe travels. |
| 46204 Aye, I gotta. May your heart and troubles both be light, Nally Nalia. |
| 46205 A pity they must bury him amidst this pompous place, hmm? Me and him, we buried many a friend under a calm tree, not monuments and such. |
| 46206 Those were the days, I tell you... |
| 46207 Yo ho ho for the lads now at rest! Yo ho ho so they say! We'll drink for the lads that have sunk to their rest, and we'll drink for the living just the same! |
| 46208 You might also wish to pry into his personal records. They may reveal something of his fondness for gems. |
| 46209 I cannot tell you more. They will question me if we are seen together. Rememberâ€â€Isaea values his name over all else. Sully that and his life is in your hands. |
| 46210 <CHARNAME>, I have reviewed this matter extensively. |
| 46211 The indignity! I demand satisfaction! |
| 46212 You have not been wronged here, Isaea. There has been no slander if the allegations are true. |
| 46213 You believe the lies this ditch rat is spewing? Need I remind you how respected I am? I am Isaea Roenall. |
| 46214 This is preposterous! |
| 46215 And if it turns out to be true that you have done what this person says, I will have you stripped of your rank, regardless of how "respected" you may be. |
| 46216 The Crooked Crane |
| 46217 The matter is closed until further investigation! Nalia, you are free to go. Isaea, you are not to leave Athkatla. |
| 46218 An outrage! |
| 46219 Don't whine, Isaea. It makes you seem even less of a man. |
| 46220 This is not over by any means! |
| 46221 Thank you for your help. You have helped me again, and I am grateful. |
| 46222 Think nothing of it. |
| 46223 It's getting a little tedious helping you, actually. |
| 46224 Yes, yes, can we go now? |
| 46225 I will try to be less of a burden on the group in the future. I... I trust you still want my company in the party? |
| 46226 Yes, join and we shall be on our way again. |
| 46227 No, I've decided I don't need you right now. |
| 46228 Thank you, <CHARNAME>, I needed to feel welcome. |
| 46229 Very well. I will remain here until you have changed your mind. |
| 46230 Oooh, my head is barely on my legs today. Too much of the miller's tales and his damn home-brew. |
| 46231 There are a large number of scales salvaged from the red dragon. Legend has it they can be magically forged into powerful armor. STATISTICS: Weight: 15 |

| 46233 If I wished a scene, I would have you flogged where you stand. For now, I will leave this be. It is unfinished, however. |
| 46234 I did not tell you this... and I certainly did not say his records are in his home northwest of the main government building in the Government District. |
| 46235 Nalia! I would ask that you drop this foolishness at once and return to your proper duties! Honor the commitment you made to me! |
| 46236 I made my opinion of you quite clear, Isaea. I will not change my mind now. |
| 46237 Then I have little choice but to forcefully show you the error of your ways. Nalia de'Arnise, I place you under arrest by order of the Amnian army. |
| 46238 What?! |
| 46239 You are a danger to yourself and your lands. You have not been thinking straight since your father died. It is for your own good! |
| 46240 Who are you to decide that?! By what right?! |
| 46241 I have every right. I am an officer in the army and a liaison to the nobility. It is my function to see that everyone is well in their proper station. |
| 46242 You have demonstrated that you are under some strange influence, and I must act to protect you. |
| 46243 This is madness! <CHARNAME> will stop you! |
| 46244 No, <PRO_HESHE> will not. I act with full sanction of the military. Even if you were the type to attack guards, you would not survive the result. |
| 46245 No, I am simply going to walk away, and there is nothing you can do. To attack would mean your death, as I am a respected officer. |
| 46246 I will find a way to stop you! This affects me personally now! |
| 46247 I will risk all manner of death to stop you! |
| 46248 This will delay my own plans considerably! You have made a dangerous enemy! |
| 46249 Bleat as you must, but Nalia is under arrest. I will secrete her away so that you and your ilk can no longer poison her mind. |
| 46250 Don't take it so hard; I am just better than you. Oh, feel free to lodge a complaint to the proper authority. That... would be me. |
| 46251 There is no risk! It is a certainty! I am the word of law at this moment! You cannot touch me! This is my will, and you will obey it! |
| 46252 Mourners in search of the Lord de'Arnise ceremony? If you are, please enter the door behind me. |
| 46253 Lord de'Arnise was quite important, and his service is to be held on the upper partition of the tombs. |
| 46254 Do stand away from me; I find your presence here an insult as it is. Lord de'Arnise slummed around entirely too much, if you ask me. |
| 46255 We had to find sun gems so the doors of darkness that the Shade Lord had placed along our path could be opened. They can be acquired if one passes Amaunator's tests. |
| 46256 We searched for the three parts of the key to the door that leads to the horror that the Shade Lord commands. |

| 46271 So can it understand me now, High Priestess? It must be able to understand! The king awaits! |
| 46272 Isaea Roenall |
| 46273 Barg |
| 46274 I heard you the first time, Feerlattiys. And yes, I have called on Sekolah to grant these beings the ability to understand our tongue. |
| 46275 Barg |
| 46276 So... it understands, High Priestess? Is... is it dangerous to us? Shall we be forced to collar it? |
| 46277 The surface beings are varied in their ways, Feerlattiys, but they are quite intelligent. You can, I am sure, speak to the creatures directly. |
| 46278 My apologies. Captain Feerlattiys performs well as protector of our Shark-Father's temple, but has little experience with your kind. |
| 46279 I am sure this must come as a shock to you after your recent harrowing experience. You must brace yourselves, soft ones, for your journey gets no easier. |
| 46280 High Priestess, we must take the surface beings before the king! He commands it! |
| 46281 In good time, Feerlattiys. Allow them to gain their bearings and discover why we have brought them here. Otherwise, they may resort to hostilities. |
| 46282 No... no, that must not be allowed... |
| 46283 Indeed. Sekolah has spoken of these ones to us, so let us treat them not as prisoners for the banquet table. Let us instead make them welcome. |
| 46284 I shall introduce myself to you. I am Senityili, royal high priestess of Sekolah. And you are in the City-of-Caverns, one of our most ancient places. |

| 46290 Isaea's Signet Ring |
| 46291 You are fortunate, surface-dwellers. In the normal course of things, creatures captured from the sun lands would be dinner for our plate. |
| 46292 This once, however, is different. Sekolah has told of your coming in an ancient prophecy, and I have scried that you are whom the Shark-Father speaks of. |
| 46293 The most exalted King Ixilthetocal calls for the presence of the prophesied ones now, but there is time for you to ask questions if you have the desire. |
| 46294 What manner of creature are you? |
| 46295 This document contains a register of slaves recently sold to this outpost of slave lords located in the Temple District. It also bears a signature in wax, pressed by a signet ring. It is the greater crest of the family Roenall, along with the individualized markings of Isaea Roenall. This is damning evidence if it is to be believed. |
| 46296 What is this prophecy you speak of? |
| 46297 Where is this City-of-Caverns? Where am I, exactly? |
| 46298 I demand to be released at once! I will not submit to whatever you plan for me! |
| 46299 Your kind has many names for us, I believe. We are called the sea devils and our eel-kin the anguiliians, although I believe the merman word is most prevalent: sahuagin... |
| 46300 We are the raiders of the shores and hunters without equal, surface <PRO_MANWOMAN>. We please the Shark-Father with our ruthlessness and our cunning. |
| 46301 As I said, you are lucky to live... and it galls us that the prophecy calls on surface-dwellers to aid us. |
| 46302 What is this prophecy you speak of? |
| 46303 Where is this City-of-Caverns? Where am I, exactly? |
| 46304 I demand to be released at once! I will not submit to whatever you plan for me! |
| 46305 You are in a great cavern of air, far beneath the surface of the sea. This is where we have made our city and where we have ruled for countless generations. |
| 46306 There is no escape, surface-dweller. The only exits from the City-of-Caverns lie up through the depths in which you cannot live... or down into the Underdark. |
| 46307 What manner of creature are you? |
| 46308 What is this prophecy you speak of? |
| 46309 I demand to be released at once! I will not submit to whatever you plan for me! |
| 46310 Calm yourself, surface <PRO_MANWOMAN>. There is no escape, and you live only at my insistence that you are the ones Sekolah has called to us in his prophecy. |
| 46311 Continue to agitate yourself, and I will be forced to admit that I was wrong. The consequences could be... harsh... for us both. |
| 46312 Very well. Tell me what manner of creature you are, then. |
| 46313 Tell me exactly where I am, then. |
| 46314 I wish to know more of this prophecy you speak of, then. |
| 46315 What do you mean, "for us both"? |
| 46316 I shall take my chances! Put up your arms, then, if you have the courage! |
| 46317 Ah, yes, the prophecy. Sekolah visited the City-of-Caverns long ago... all raised their arms in rejoicing as the Great Shark's song filled our hearts. |
| 46318 Sekolah told of a time when the City-of-Caverns would be no more. He also told of signs that would precede the arrival of surface-dwellers in the depths. |
| 46319 Sekolah said these surface-dwellers would be all that stood between the City-of-Caverns and destruction, and we would do well to watch for them. |
| 46320 We... sahuagin, as you call us... have watched and waited from our temples here in the city. The signs have come, surface <PRO_MANWOMAN>, and now you are here. |
| 46321 You have come... and the City-of-Caverns does, indeed, stand on the brink of destruction. You will save us, as Sekolah has promised. |
| 46322 Most sacred Senityili, the most exalted one will wait no longer! We must bring the surface beings to him quickly lest we be punished! |
| 46323 The most honored Ixilthetocal will not punish us, good Feerlattiys. But... we must hurry lest Tlyysixxous convince the king of her views in my absence. |
| 46324 So, surface <PRO_MANWOMAN>. You have heard me tell of the prophecy and your role in it. Will you see the king of the sahuagin to hear more? Or will you struggle? |
| 46325 I will go voluntarily for now. |
| 46326 I have more questions to ask of you first. |
| 46327 I will not save an evil race such as yourself! You shall release me or die! |
| 46328 Amongst the sahuagin, to be wrong is to be dead. Not all of my kind believe you are the ones that Sekolah has promised, and I have staked much upon my claim. |
| 46329 Prove me wrong, and I will die. But you will die first, surface <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 46330 Very well. Tell me what manner of creature you are, then. |
| 46331 Tell me exactly where I am, then. |
| 46332 I wish to know more of this prophecy you speak of, then. |
| 46333 I shall take my chances! Put up your arms, then, if you have the courage! |
| 46334 Then Sekolah calls for boldness from us! Kill them! Kill all of the surface creatures! |
| 46335 There is no time for more questions, surface <PRO_MANWOMAN>. You will learn more, in time, if you are intelligent. The most exalted beckons for your presence. |
| 46336 Very well, I will go with you. |
| 46337 No! I refuse to go! I shall fight you all, if I must! |
| 46338 Good. Captain Feerlattiys, we shall now proceed to the royal chambers. Lead us. |
| 46339 At once, most sacred one! I shall also bring the equipment collected from the sunken ship. If they pass the test, they may have any of the things that I've found. |
| 46340 We are here, most honorable Ixilthetocal... at your command. |
| 46341 And these... (hee hee!)... these are the strange creatures from the surface? (Hee hee!) These are the ones you claim the mighty Sekolah has promised us? |
| 46342 They are, most honorable one. The leader amongst them, here, is what I believe they refer to as a "<PRO_RACE>." |
| 46343 It seems most... most strange! They have no scales! Look how small and puny their teeth are! |
| 46344 You must kill it, most exalted one! They should not have remained alive! You must kill them, sacrifice them to the Shark-Father! |
| 46345 So you keep telling me, Baron Thelokassyil. Shall we turn away a gift of Sekolah, do you think, then? |
| 46346 The surface creatures are not sent by Sekolah, most exalted Ixilthetocal. They are not the ones spoken of in the Shark-Father's prophecy. |
| 46347 Oh? |
| 46348 They are nothing more than spurious beasts that have fallen into our lap. We should sacrifice them and feast upon their meat! |
| 46349 No! Most honorable Ixilthetocal, the signs were clearly seen! All has come to pass as Sekolah had foretold! |
| 46350 Not ALL the signs have come, Senityili. |
| 46351 I do not see what I wish to see, Tlyysixxous. I see only what Sekolah has shown me, and these ARE the saviors of the City-of-Caverns! |
| 46352 So... (hee hee!) We have a disagreement, do we? The high priestess and consort of my Baron Thelokassyil contests the belief of my own high priestess, does she? |
| 46353 I do, most honorable one. |
| 46354 Hello, friend. I see you enjoy a drink or two along with your fresh sea air? |
| 46355 Are you Barg? I am looking for a man named Barg. |
| 46356 Stand still, villain! I would talk to you about your master, Isaea! |
| 46357 She does. It is as we have been trying to tell you, Ixilthetocal... these creatures are no more worthy than a meat crab, meant for consumption and nothing more! |
| 46358 You... you have that right, <SIRMAAM>. Never met a bottle I didn't like. Nothing wrong with that, is there? |
| 46359 No, Ixilthetocal! Do not listen to them! They are sent by Sekolah, I swear! To refuse them is to pledge the City-of-Caverns to its destruction! |
| 46360 No, no, I was just wondering who provides it for you. Must be expensive. |
| 46361 Nothing, though I wonder who would employ you in such a state? |
| 46362 Oh, I shall be the judge of that, good Senityili. Oh, yes, I most surely shall! |
| 46363 (Tee hee hee!) |
| 46364 Not unless it comes from illegal sources. What say you about that? |
| 46365 Let me think now... er... yes! Yes, that is my name. What can I do for you, friend? |
| 46366 What do yoooouuu think, <PRO_RACE>? Yes, you. Do you think you are more worthy than a sea crab, hmmm? Do you think you are who the prophecy speaks of? |
| 46367 This ring bears the greater crest of the family Roenall, along with the individualized markings of Isaea Roenall specifically. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 46368 Isaea's Slavery Document |
| 46369 Isaea's Slavery Document |
| 46370 Ohhh, don't yell quite so loud. Isaea? What do you want to know about him? Never liked the fellow much. Smells funny. |
| 46371 My source is as true with me and my fellows as can be. Nothing under the table there. Simple business arrangement. |
| 46372 Of course, the whole matter is not viewed as such by the guards, but it's an honorable trade amidst ourselves. |
| 46373 Isaea foots the bill. *hic* He's a right gent, if a bit too much fop in the britches. Want me to set you up with a job? |
| 46374 What does he pay you to do? |
| 46375 What business is he in? |
| 46376 Pirating, of course. Oh, the others'll be all quiet about it, but *hic* but I'm right proud. Keeps them merchants on their toes, hehe. |
| 46377 Bolumir of Tempus |
| 46378 Of course, that Isaea is into other things too, but me and the boys don't go in for slavery and such. |
| 46379 Me, I've never talked to that slaver contact, Dirth. Hey, what do you suppose they pay to get the guard to look the other way? |
| 46380 Well, I don't... |
| 46381 Must be thousands to overlook it. Wow, that's a lot. Anyway, I've never even talked to Dirth *hic* even though I spend hours in the Sea's Bounty. Ain't even far from here. Wanna drink? |
| 46382 Sure. What is it that you actually do? |
| 46383 What does that scoundrel pay you to do?! |
| 46384 Do you work for Isaea? What does that bastard pay you to do? |
| 46385 You are not my friend. Tell me, who pays for your bottles? |
| 46386 Thanks for the help. That's more than I needed to know. |
| 46387 You should think twice about your vocation. I'd hate to have to kill you for it. |
| 46388 I'm through with you, filthy pirate. Time to answer for your crimes! |
| 46389 *hic* Almost more than I know my... myself. Good travels to you, stranger. |
| 46390 I could be. I will help you if I can. |
| 46391 Don't *hic* go getting mad and all. Never harmed a soul in my life. Relieved a few of their purses, but never harmed 'em. |
| 46392 I don't know. |
| 46393 No, I don't. I would sooner slice you open than help your evil kind. |
| 46394 Ahh, you wouldn't understand. |
| 46395 Hey, what? *hic* Don't go getting mad! I never hurt a soul! Honâ€â€*hic*â€â€honest! |
| 46396 Err... yes, I am! Killing me would be a mistake! |
| 46397 Aha! Well now, that sounds promising. I wasn't aware we needed such help, but you never know when a tasty <PRO_RACE> might come in handy! |
| 46398 Rattell the Fence |
| 46399 You don't know if you have more worth than a sea crab? It's tempting to taste for myself. But then, a scrumptious <PRO_RACE> might come in handy... |
| 46400 Traveler's Rest |
| 46401 Well, the <PRO_RACE> has an admirable zest, I'll give it that. Sekolah would like such a vicious attitude, I think. |
| 46402 Well, now. Then it appears to be settled, doesn't it? By the <PRO_RACE>'s own petite mouth, it admits Sekolah has sent it. |
| 46403 Peddler |
| 46404 I don't suppose either of the most favored priestesses will change their minds? (Hee hee!) Relinquish their position in this arbitration, perhaps? |
| 46405 Most certainly not! |
| 46406 No, most honorable Ixilthetocal. |
| 46407 Ah, I didn't think so. |
| 46408 Khan Zahraa |
| 46409 So be it! We shall decide this with a challenge, we will! Although... not a challenge between our dear priestesses. That would solve nothing! |
| 46410 We wish to see if these surface beasts are truly the ones the Shark-Father has spoken of, yes? So I shall offer them the chance to prove their power! |
| 46411 Well, <PRO_RACE>? Will you take this challenge? Will you fight a creature of my choosing, a slave from the surface... and see if you survive? |
| 46412 Very well. I accept the challenge. |
| 46413 But... my colleagues and I are in need of rest and healing. Some of us were wounded during the ship battle... |
| 46414 And if I refuse? |
| 46415 Forget it! I would rather leave now! |
| 46416 Excellent! Excellent! Sport for us all! Take them away, and let us see what they do against our freakish surface slave! |
| 46417 Sekolah demands perseverance, strength, and self-reliance! But not stupidity... The priestesses shall heal you before you fight, surface <PRO_RACE>. |
| 46418 But rest you shall not get. We dislike sorcerous powers here, <PRO_RACE>, and you shall have no time to study them. Healing should be more than sufficient. |
| 46419 So, then! Do you agree, my tasty <PRO_RACE>... or... (hee hee!)... do you refuse? |
| 46420 I agree. |
| 46421 What happens if I refuse? |
| 46422 Pen and Parchment |
| 46423 I refuse! To the Abyss with you all! |
| 46424 Then you are not the ones the prophecy tells of. That would make you intruders, and intruders die. Oh, yes, they certainly do! |
| 46425 Very well... I shall accept your challenge, then. |
| 46426 But my colleagues and I are in need of healing and rest... some of us were wounded during the battle on the ship. |
| 46427 Then I refuse! And we shall see who dies... |
| 46428 Ooo! It seems you are proven wrong, Senityili! But we shall deal with you later, oh yes! |
| 46429 For now... (hee hee!)... kill the surface <PRO_RACE>! Kill them all! I wish their hearts on my dinner platter! |
| 46430 Congratulations, my wondrous little <PRO_RACE>! You are indeed a mighty specimen... and the one sent to us by Sekolah, I might add. |
| 46431 Wizard Eye |
| 46432 Deafness |
| 46433 Limited Wish |
| 46434 No! Most exalted Ixilthetocal, you cannot be serious! |
| 46435 Spook |
| 46436 Oh, stop complaining, Baron. So your high priestess lost the challenge; that's too bad. There's no need to go on whining about it. |
| 46437 Time to take her away for sacrifice! Try not to get caught in Sekolah's teeth, Tlyysixxous. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate it. |
| 46438 Remove Magic |
| 46439 I... I see. Of course, most exalted Ixilthetocal. |
| 46440 Ahhh... Now that that little dispute is over with, perhaps we can get down to real business, eh? (Hee hee!) Are you bitter, Thelokassyil? |
| 46441 Contagion |
| 46442 N-no, most exalted one. As... as long as the prophesied ones deal with the rebels, they will have served the purpose Sekolah intended... |
| 46443 The rebels! That's right! And here I was on my coral throne, forgetting all about those rebels. That is an excellent task to set these surface-dwellers on! |
| 46444 Freedom |
| 46445 If... if I may speak, most honorable one, as to the Shark-Father's intentions? |
| 46446 Eh? Are you still here, Senityili? Didn't I just have you sacrificed? |
| 46447 That was Tlyysixxous, honorable Ixilthetocal. |
| 46448 Oh. How disappointing. Well, I suppose you can speak, then. |
| 46449 I urge you not to listen to the baron. He would have you destroy the rebels when there is a far greater need for them in the City-of-Caverns. |
| 46450 Our numbers dwindle, honorable Ixilthetocal. You have... exiled many. The hatcheries are barren, and there are too few females... |
| 46451 In short, our bloodline grows thin. We need these rebels to join us, to add their blood to ours so that the City-of-Caverns may grow strong again! |
| 46452 I see what you say, Senityili. Oh yes, I do. |
| 46453 We should have the rebel and his army join us... in principle. The drow and the illithids take more each year. I've no wish to retreat to the depths... |
| 46454 But, no. I'd rather have the rebel's heart. |
| 46455 But... but, honorable Ixilthetocalâ€â€! |
| 46456 Excellent decision, our king! |
| 46457 I thought you would like that, my baron, but I am not doing it for you. The rebel will invade with his army of exiles if he isn't stopped, you know. |
| 46458 So it comes down to you, surface <PRO_RACE>! I am sure you have no wish to help a race such as us. But if you've no objection to killing a few... |
| 46459 Hunt down the rebel leader for me, my <PRO_RACE>... bring me his heart, and I shall reward you with great riches! |
| 46460 Your kind does not object to sorcery? We have collected much that is magical during our raids. You are welcome to it ALL, if you bring me his heart. |
| 46461 So... what do you say to that, my surface <PRO_RACE>, chosen of Sekolah? |
| 46462 Who is this rebel, and where would I find him? |
| 46463 I would prefer to negotiate a peace, as the high priestess suggests. |
| 46464 I can't fight this rebel if I'm a prisoner. |
| 46465 Forget it. I shall do nothing for you, madman! |
| 46466 Oh, this particular one is a former rival for my position that I sent away years ago. What was his name again, my baron? |
| 46467 Prince Villynaty, exalted one. |
| 46468 Right. Villynaty. You can find the rebels outside the city. He should be no match for one as powerful as you, my little <PRO_RACE>. |
| 46469 Lady Yuth |
| 46470 Very well. I shall seek him out and return his heart for the reward you promised. |
| 46471 Lady Yuth |
| 46472 I would prefer to negotiate a peace, as the high priestess suggests. |
| 46473 I can't fight this rebel if I'm a prisoner. |
| 46474 Well, I don't want a peace. I want his heart. You're the chosen of Sekolah, after all. And the rewards would be magnificent, I can assure you. |
| 46475 Who is this rebel, and where would I find him? |
| 46476 I can't fight this rebel if I'm a prisoner. |
| 46477 Forget it. I shall do nothing for you, madman! |
| 46478 Very well. I will seek out this rebel and return his heart for the reward you've offered. |
| 46479 Hello there. I've been watching you since you entered... I suspect you may have need of my wares. |
| 46480 Prisoner? (Hee hee!) You are the chosen of Sekolah, my little surface <PRO_RACE>! You have been sent to us by the prophecy! |
| 46481 What is it that you sell? |
| 46482 After we're done here, you can wander off on your way... rest, rearm yourselves... whatever it is that you surface people enjoy doing, I suppose. |
| 46483 Soon, you'll leave the city and kill this rebel prince, saving the City-of-Caverns as the prophecy foretells! And I shall reward you with great riches! |
| 46484 Until that time, you will have the free run of the City-of-Caverns. Go where you wish, my good <PRO_RACE>. |
| 46485 B-but... but, most honored one! You wish to let them loose in the city?! |
| 46486 They are doing us a great service, my baron. I want everyone to treat them like... like... like oddly colored, small-toothed, skinny fellow sahuagin. Yes. Like that. |
| 46487 Very well. I will try to find this rebel you speak of and return his heart to you. |
| 46488 Who is this rebel, and where would I find him? |
| 46489 I would prefer to negotiate a peace, as the high priestess suggests. |
| 46490 Forget it. I shall do nothing for you, madman! |
| 46491 Oh well. I suppose it's the dinner plate for you, then. And I thought you were actually sent by Sekolah, too. Tsk. Kill them. |
| 46492 Good. The less rebels running about, the better. You shall save the city and be rewarded... everybody will be happy! Except for Villynaty. |
| 46493 And then you'll be free to go off to the Underdark, if that's where you're headed. Unless you'd care to try the oceans again, my little <PRO_RACE>! |
| 46494 But off you go, chosen ones. I desire meat now, and the king always dines in private. |
| 46495 Before you leave the city, surface beings, come to the temple and speak to me again. I can tell you things that will make your job much... easier. |
| 46496 Yes, our priestess shall tell you how to gain access to the rebel camp. The rebels are locked away with magic, you know. Go now and destroy them. (Hee hee!) |
| 46497 I refuse to do as you ask! I would rather take my chances and carve my way out of here with my blade. |

| 46510 Captain Alyittyl |
| 46511 Aha! My favorite surface <PRO_RACE> wishes to speak to me once again! Do you have the heart of that rebel? I would so enjoy eating it now. |
| 46512 Yes, I have it here. The leader of the rebels is dead. |
| 46513 Senior Priestess Sallinithyl |
| 46514 Prince Villynaty |
| 46515 No, I do not have it yet. But I intend to get it. |
| 46516 No... but I wanted to tell you that your high priestess, Senityili, is plotting with the rebels to overthrow you. |
| 46517 Travel safely, then, and beware the Cowled Wizards. |
| 46518 No, I don't. And I refuse to do your bidding any longer, fish-man. |
| 46519 I don't think so, maybe another time. |
| 46520 Magical scrolls. Illegal, of course, which is why I must charge so much for them. |
| 46521 Oh! Ohhhh! The rebel prince is dead! Dead dead dead dead DEAD! You are a wonderful <PRO_RACE>! Isn't <PRO_HESHE> wonderful, my baron? |
| 46522 Er... yes, most honorable Ixilthetocal. A wonderful... er... <PRO_RACE>. |
| 46523 Exactly what I just said! Why are you repeating me? Ahhh, never mind. The point is, you've earned everything I'm giving you as a reward. |
| 46524 Have you no fear of the Cowled Wizards? |
| 46525 Prince Villynaty |
| 46526 I'll take a look at what you're offering. |
| 46527 Those pompous fools? They are as corrupt as anyone else in this city, if you know who to talk to. Now, are you interested or not? |
| 46528 Yes. |
| 46529 Spell Canceled: Cannot target spells on invisible or sanctuaried creatures. |
| 46530 Peddler? Bahâ€â€I have no need of fools like yourself. Good day. |
| 46531 Good. Take your time; magic is not something that should be rushed. |
| 46532 And since I received signs from Sekolah that you were returning, I had three of the guards sacrificed promptly for good measure. |
| 46533 Rebel |
| 46534 There. Now I suppose you want to know how to get to the surface. Well... if you haven't found it already, I'll show you the way. Follow me. |
| 46535 Rebel |
| 46536 Yes, yes, yes, YES! I knew this was coming, yes, I did. My men reported your return, and I asked Sekolah if it was done, and he told me that it was! |

| 46542 Baron Thelokassyil |
| 46543 Baron Thelokassyil |
| 46544 Not that we were planning on feasting on you, my favorite little <PRO_RACE>. No, no. You weren't planning on eating my <PRO_RACE>, were you, Baron? |
| 46545 Err... no. No, I wasn't planning on it, most honorable Ixilthetocal. |
| 46546 Liar. I heard you talking earlier. So go be a good baron and get the reward for my little <PRO_RACE> here. It has certainly deserved one, oh yes! |
| 46547 Oho! It is my surface <PRO_RACE>, come to me once again! And does it have... why, yes, I think I smell the ichor of a rebel! You have the heart with you! |
| 46548 Senior Priestess Sallinithyl |
| 46549 Most exalted one! Alarm! Alarm! The rebels... the prince... they have crept into the City-of-Caverns, and they are attacking! |
| 46550 What?! You... you have betrayed me, my <PRO_RACE>?! This cannot be! |
| 46551 I told you that the surface beasts could not be trusted! |
| 46552 Oh, shut UP, Thelokassyil! Just kill them! Kill them! I WANT ALL OF THEIR HEADS ON MY PLATE! |
| 46553 I knew my high priestess could not be trusted to speak for the Shark-Father. I smelled her treachery, my <PRO_RACE>! Senityili is dead... I was right all along! |
| 46554 Well, what are you waiting for?! The rebel awaits! I would like to BE there when he sees your hairy hides... but a king can't have everything. *sigh*... |
| 46555 What?! You must be joking! Is this some manner of surface-lander, hairy-skinned <PRO_RACE> joke? Is it joking with me, Baron? |
| 46556 Ah... no, most honorable one. I do not believe the <PRO_RACE> is speaking in jest... |
| 46557 Oh, what do you know?! *sigh* But the <PRO_RACE> IS the chosen of Sekolah, so it should know. Have the treacherous Senityili brought before me. |
| 46558 I have brought the sacred one, most honored Ixilthetocal, as you have commanded. |
| 46559 What is the meaning of this? Why have I been brought here?! |
| 46560 Well... it seems, Senityili, that you have been a very naughty... er, what does the <PRO_RACE> refer to us as again, Baron? |
| 46561 Sahuagin, most honorable one. |
| 46562 That's it! You have been a naughty sahuagin, Senityili... plotting with rebels. Tsk tsk. A good thing Sekolah has sent us loyal surface beings! |
| 46563 By Sekolah, <PRO_RACE>?! You have betrayed me? Why have you done this?! To what possible end would this serve you?! |
| 46564 And she admits her guilt! Ho hum. Well, kill her now, guards. |
| 46565 Amongst our kind, the strong rule... and I am far stronger than you, Senityili. |
| 46566 Now... go and kill that rebel, my little surface <PRO_RACE>. All this bloodletting has only served to whet my appetite. (Hee hee!) |
| 46567 That is most vicious of you, my little <PRO_RACE>. I like this side of you! But it is tiresome, too. Go hunt for the rebel, or I shall become annoyed. |
| 46568 Very well... I shall try my best. |
| 46569 I'll take my chances! I'd rather see you dead than continue to do your dirty work! |
| 46570 Good. Off you go then. I'm not getting any younger, you know. |
| 46571 Oh, all right, then. *sigh* I was so looking forward to making a meal of the rebel. I suppose you'll do, in a pinch. |
| 46572 Well, then! Here you go, my fortunate favored. The entrance to the Underdark. (Hee hee!) It goes a fair ways down, but it reaches the surface once again. |
| 46573 We could take you straight up, of course, but that would only bring you to the middle of the ocean... with none of your surfacer ships that you so depend on. |
| 46574 So... this is the only way back to your home. You seem to be in good with Sekolah, so you should do well against the drow and illithids and such. (Hee hee!) |
| 46575 You have killed the rebel, Prince Villynaty? Ahhh, I am a fool. |
| 46576 You are not the one who was prophesied to save us. Indeed, you have destroyed us! The prince and the exiles were our last chance to keep our bloodline strong! |
| 46577 You have sent us to a slow, rotting death, <PRO_RACE>! We shall grow weak and wither under the rule of our mad king! |
| 46578 I hope you are pleased with your treasure, and I pray that the damnable illithids feast upon your brain slowly! May Sekolah find you in a dark part of the ocean! |
| 46579 You killed the rebel, Prince Villynaty, didn't you? Ahhh, Senityili, my mother, was a fool! |
| 46580 You are not the one who was prophesied to save us. Indeed, you have destroyed us! The prince and the exiles were our last chance to keep our bloodline strong! |
| 46581 You have sent us to a slow, rotting death, <PRO_RACE>! We shall grow weak and wither under the rule of our mad king! |
| 46582 I hope you are pleased with your treasure, and I pray that the damnable illithids feast upon your brain slowly! May Sekolah find you in a dark part of the ocean! |
| 46583 Ahhh, yeees... So I am now the king of the City-of-Caverns! The mad tyrant is dead, and we are well rid of him! May Sekolah gnaw upon his bones for an eternity! |
| 46584 You have done our people a great service, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 46585 Greater perhaps than you even know. With Ixilthetocal dead, the exiles can now return to the City-of-Caverns. Where once our people grew weak, now they can become strong again. |
| 46586 Their blood will return to mix with the old, and only together can we protect our city from the advances of the illithids and the drow. Ixilthetocal was too mad to see what he was doing. |
| 46587 And now the City-of-Caverns is saved. The prophecy is completed... even if not quite the way that pale eel thought it would be, eh? |
| 46588 We owe you a debt, <PRO_RACE>. We are unfamiliar with your kind, but you are welcome amongst us. And you did more than was asked, bearing the brunt of the battle. |
| 46589 For that, I give you the first spoils of war. Take the treasury key from Ixilthetocal's corpse... use it to enter the city's treasury and take what you will. |
| 46590 I am feeling generous today... To enter the Underdark, you need the magic rope from the king's corpse. Use it to go down the pit behind my former throne. |
| 46591 Ah. It is good you have come to see me before you left. The king has made it clear I should instruct you as to how you may enter the prince's base. |
| 46592 Our king is mad. Surely your audience with him showed you this. |
| 46593 He is the result of... poor breeding. Like his father, he has executed or exiled far too many of our kind. |
| 46594 Our numbers are too few, our blood too thin. We must regain what we have lost. Prince Villynaty, the exiles' leader outside the city, is our only hope. |
| 46595 With the prince on the throne, we would be strong again... to fight the illithids and the drow. I have been in contact with the rebels, and now is the time to strike! |
| 46596 An offering for you, Sekolah! Open your mighty jaws and take this, your former servant, as sustenance for you! |
| 46597 We are mighty, Shark-Father! We strike without fear and without remorse! Take this gift as a measure of our power! |
| 46598 NOOOoooo! |
| 46599 What do you say, <PRO_RACE>? Surely you hold no love for our mad king. Help us survive lest we be swept away by the denizens of the Underdark! |
| 46600 What do you need me to do, exactly? |
| 46601 What makes you think I won't tell the king of your scheme? |
| 46602 The king's offered me a reward to kill this rebel... what are you offering me? |
| 46603 I've no interest in helping your race, period. |
| 46604 I only ask that you talk with Prince Villynaty, that is all. Listen to what he has to offer, and decide then what you shall do. |
| 46605 I will give you an orb the rebels will recognize... they will bring you to Villynaty. That is, of course, if you agree to talk instead of kill. |
| 46606 What makes you think I won't tell the king of your scheme? |
| 46607 The king's offered me a reward to kill this rebel... what are you offering me? |
| 46608 Very well... I agree to talk to this prince. |
| 46609 Forget it. I've no interest in this plan of yours. |
| 46610 You are not of our race... you owe him no allegiance. You have seen Ixilthetocal's state of mind... he may decide to kill you in the end anyway. |
| 46611 But if you do take this to the king... I cannot stop you, <PRO_RACE>. It will doom both myself and perhaps the City-of-Caverns as well, but I cannot stop you. |
| 46612 What do you need me to do, exactly? |
| 46613 The king's offered me a reward to kill this rebel... what are you offering me? |
| 46614 Very well. I shall do as you request. |
| 46615 Forget it, then. I've other plans. |
| 46616 I can offer you nothing myself. And I know that the exiles have little in the way of gold or magic that you might see as a suitable reward. |
| 46617 Still, I ask that you speak to the prince. Perhaps... perhaps he has some reward in mind. I... I beg of you, <PRO_RACE>! Do not let our mad king destroy my people! |
| 46618 What do you need me to do, exactly? |
| 46619 What makes you think I won't tell the king of your scheme? |
| 46620 Very well, I shall do as you ask. |
| 46621 I don't care what happens to your evil race, and I've no interest in your plan. |
| 46622 Then... then we are doomed. Go, then, and earn your reward from our king if you must. If he truly plans on giving it to you. |
| 46623 But if you have a change of heart, then I beg of you to return and tell me... and I shall arrange for a meeting with Villynaty. I... I pray that you do. |
| 46624 Good. Here is the orb. Keep it in your possession when you leave the City-of-Caverns. You will be approached by an exile to be brought to the prince. |
| 46625 I pray that you and the prince can come to an agreement... for the sake of all of my people. Go, then, and may Sekolah guard you from harm. |
| 46626 You return, surface <PRO_RACE>. Do you come to mock me, or have you had a change of heart? Will you speak to the prince as I have asked? |
| 46627 What is it, exactly, that you want me to do? |
| 46628 What makes you think I won't go and tell the king of your scheme? |
| 46629 Is the reward you offer greater than the king's? |
| 46630 Yes, I have changed my mind. I will speak to the rebel leader. |
| 46631 No, I haven't changed my mind. |
| 46632 Then begone lest I show you how truly dangerous a follower of Sekolah the Shark-Father can be. |
| 46633 You are not the leader, surface being. I shall deal with the one who makes the decisions... the <PRO_MALEFEMALE> <PRO_RACE> I spoke to earlier. And that is all. |
| 46634 You return... have you not spoken to the prince yet? Is something wrong, surface <PRO_RACE>? Can you not find the way? |
| 46635 Drow Elven Chain +3 |
| 46636 Nothing is wrong. I still intend to meet the prince. |
| 46637 I have decided not to talk to the prince. |
| 46638 Good. I suggest you go quickly, then. There is no telling what the king might decide to do should you give him time enough. |
| 46639 Then there is no hope for my people. You have the orb... the exiles will attempt to speak to you. The choice is yours, <PRO_RACE>. |

| 46642 You have the orb, surface creature. This means only that the most sacred Senityili could have given it to you. |
| 46643 She has sent us word of your intentions. Do you wish to be brought to the most honorable Villynaty, he who has saved us? I am willing to lead you to him, surface beast. |
| 46644 Yes... take me to see this prince of yours. |
| 46645 Take me to see him... but I shall remain on guard against any treachery, so do not try anything! |
| 46646 No. I've no interest in speaking with your prince. |
| 46647 Drow Adamantine Chain +5 |
| 46648 Excellent. Follow me, then... it is not far from here. |
| 46649 It is not our intention to commit violence against you, surface being. But we certainly put no trust in you... as you have no trust in us. No matter. Follow me, and I shall take you to the prince. |
| 46650 Then we shall assume you are here to kill us. Very well. We shall prepare for your arrival, surface creature! |
| 46651 Ahhh, so it seems the surface creatures we have heard soo much about have finally come to see us. Are these the ones that your mother spoke of, Sallinithyl? |
| 46652 They are, most honored Villynaty. The most sacred Senityili was most specific in her description. |
| 46653 Hah! I do not think the description had to be all that specific. As if they would be anyone else, ugly as they are. Their flesh, it is so soft and scaleless... |
| 46654 But your hideous appearance means little. As does this nonsense about Sekolah sending you, as Sallinithyl and her mother seem to believe so strongly. |
| 46655 What matters is that mad Ixilthetocal has sent you surface beings to collect my heart. He is so certain of your success that now is the perfect time to strike! |
| 46656 We have a heart, surface <PRO_RACE>... a heart that you can return with to Ixilthetocal and claim as Villynaty's. The guard of the City-of-Caverns will be down, and we will be able to strike. |

| 46658 Do not attack any guards. This will tip off Ixilthetocal to your treachery. Wait for our attack, then launch your own assault on the king and his baron. |
| 46659 I will come as soon as I can. Once Ixilthetocal and Thelokassyil are dead, I shall take the throne of the City-of-Caverns. The madman shall be dead! |
| 46660 And the City-of-Caverns shall be saved with the return of its exiled blood. |
| 46661 Yes, yes. Whatever. The throne is what is important here. |
| 46662 So, surface creature. Assuming that you are capable of intelligent thought, do you agree to this plan? Or shall we be forced to engage in simple slaughter? |

| 46675 These swords are usually referred to as double-edged swords, war swords, or military swords. In many cases, the long sword has a single-edged blade. There is no single version of the long sword; the design and length vary from culture to culture and may vary within the same culture depending on the era. Among the most common characteristics of all long swords is their length, which ranges from thirty-five inches to forty-seven inches. In the latter case, the blade is known to take up forty inches of the total length. Most long swords have a double-edged blade and a sharp point at the tip.

| 46679 By far the oldest and most often used polearm, the halberd consists of a cleaver-like axe blade mounted on a staff averaging six feet in length. The axe blade is balanced at the rear with a fluke and surmounted by a sharp spike, usually of quadrangular design. The fluke is sometimes replaced by a hook used to dismount cavalry.

| 46723 After Ixilthetocal is dead and you have been given your reward, you may leave the City-of-Caverns and go off into the Underdark... if that is your wish. |
| 46724 The king has offered me a reward for your heart... is your deal better than his? |
| 46725 Can't you and the king come to a peaceful resolution? |
| 46726 I agree to your plan, then. I shall return to the king with your fake heart. |
| 46727 I don't trust you. I refuse to take part in your plan. |
| 46728 Maybe you are intelligent enough... for a surface species. Take this heart and bring it to Ixilthetocal. I shall set up my forces and prepare for the attack. |
| 46729 This is the only way to save our people, <PRO_RACE>. I pray that you are indeed the one promised by Sekolah... and that we shall all meet with success. |
| 46730 No! Do not do this! Stop, I beg of you! |
| 46731 It is too late, Sallinithyl. You and your mother are fools to have placed your trust is these thin, scaleless creatures. Run if you must, but they die now! |
| 46732 I do not trust you, sahuagin. I will not take part in your plan. |
| 46733 You have the heart I have given you, creature. Go to Ixilthetocal and tell him the heart is mine... unless you have decided to renege and cross blades with me now. |
| 46734 You shall always be welcome in the City-of-Caverns, surface creatures. I hope your journey in the Underdark goes well for you. |
| 46735 Eh? Haven't you wandered off into the Underdark by now? (Hee hee!) Do you want one of my citizens to mistake you for dinner? Off you go, surface <RACE>! |
| 46736 This is the creature the mad king has sent to destroy us. Kill it! Kill it now! The exiles must live. |
| 46737 We have long yearned to return to the City-of-Caverns since our exile by Ixilthetocal. If you can bring about that return, it does not matter that you are a surfacer... we shall thank you regardless. |
| 46738 You shall die now, surfacer! We shall never bend our knee to the will of Ixilthetocal! |
| 46739 I am most grateful, surfacer. My people shall thrive now that we exiles have been restored. We shall not have to flee from the drow to the black depths of the ocean. |
| 46740 The most sacred Senityili would wish to speak with you as soon as you can, surface creature. I ask that you seek her out. |
| 46741 I pray to Sekolah that your strange surface mind changes soon. The most sacred Senityili only seeks the salvation of our people. |
| 46742 You have the orb? I hope that your meeting with the rebel leader goes well. May Sekolah guard your back. |
| 46743 The most sacred priestess of the temple, Senityili, has been sacrificed to the Shark-Father. Alas, I hope that does not herald the end of my people as well. |
| 46744 The most sacred Senityili is dead, but she has been proven right. You are the chosen of Sekolah's prophecy. May fortune follow you, <RACE>. |
| 46745 Stand away from me, surface creature. Your scaleless features fill me with more than a little revulsion. Do as the most honored Ixilthetocal has commanded you and I shall be content. |
| 46746 You have done what you came here for and the honorable Ixilthetocal has rewarded you for it. Now begone. |
| 46747 I pray for your success, <RACE>. You must go quickly lest the king become aware of your meeting with Villynaty! |
| 46748 I shall take my mother's place and be the high priestess for Villynaty as he restores the City-of-Caverns. You have done well, <RACE>... May Sekolah bless you with strength for your service to us! |
| 46749 You are... the surface creatures. I have fought many of your kind on raids to the surface shores. The most exalted one has commanded your safety... for now. |
| 46750 You are most worthy, for a surface creature. The rebels shall not attack us now, and we shall not be weakened. The City-of-Caverns shall stand, and Sekolah will be proud of our strength. |
| 46751 Many of your kind have died well on the end of my blade, and their meat has tasted all the better for the victory. I shall not kill you, however, until the most exalted one commands it. |
| 46752 The exiles deserved their fate, and we shall remain strong now that they are gone. You have done well, <RACE>... for a surface beast. |
| 46753 If we must rely on a surface creature to end our exile into the depths, then so be it. If you betray the honored Villynaty's trust, however, you shall die at the point of my spear. |
| 46754 Our exile has ended. You are truly Sekolah's favored, sent to us as the prophecy has declared. Strange... that a surface being as small as yourself could be so powerful... |
| 46755 I will only trust you and let you live, surfacer, if the most honored Villynaty commands it. You must speak to him first. |
| 46756 Do not fail us, surfacer. I would sooner see us fight the mad Ixilthetocal on our own... but the honored Villynaty commands otherwise. |
| 46757 You are indeed the ones sent by Sekolah's prophecy. Our race harbors a long memory, <RACE>... you shall not be forgotten in the City-of-Caverns. |
| 46758 Speak to the most honored prince, <RACE>. Speak not to me. |
| 46759 You have our thanks, surfacer. Sekolah's prophecy has come true, and our race has been saved. The drow and illithids shall rue the day of your coming! |
| 46760 I bow before the prophesied ones. You are strong indeed... stronger than we might have thought small surface ones to be. |
| 46761 You shall always be welcome in the City-of-Caverns, surface creature. |
| 46762 The most exalted Villynaty will lead us to the days when the City-of-Caverns was teeming with our race and Sekolah was proud! |
| 46763 Yoou shhhalll nnot esssscape thisss place, mmmmortalsss! Preeepare tooo join ussss! |
| 46764 Visitors! It has been some time since I have had anyone but the mad little sahuagin come to this place... and that one is not full of riveting conversation. |
| 46765 Ahâ€â€but I see you hesitate. No doubt you have heard of my kind before, or even met some. You call us beholders... yes, I think that is the term you use. |
| 46766 I am but a spectator beholder, however, and not quite like others you may have met. I am set in this place to guard one thing and one thing only. |
| 46767 I will not attack you... unless you try to touch what I guard. Touch anything else you'd like! Provided you weren't driven insane by the imps back there. |
| 46768 What is it, exactly, that you guard? |
| 46769 How is it that you came to be in this place? |
| 46770 What's with those imps, anyway? |
| 46771 Maybe I should just be on my way... |
| 46772 I shall not allow an evil creature such as yourself to live! Prepare to meet your end, beast! |
| 46773 Just the one chest behind me. You are welcome to open the others with the imps, or do whatever else... I'm not here to do anything about them in the slightest. |
| 46774 I think the sahuagin looted the other chests long ago. They might have put some stuff of theirs around here, though, thinking I would scare off thieves. |
| 46775 ...oh, that reminds me. I promised that mad little sahuagin that I would make an effort to scare off intruders... |
| 46776 So... boo! |
| 46777 And that's about as much effort as I'm willing to put into that. *sigh* It's been a pretty lonely experience so far, you know. |
| 46778 Do you know what's in that chest you're guarding? |
| 46779 Is there no way I can release you from your task? |
| 46780 Just how did you end up here, anyway? |
| 46781 What's with those imps in the other room, anyway? |
| 46782 Perhaps I should be on my way. |
| 46783 No matter your demeanor, you are a beholder still and I shall destroy you! |
| 46784 Mmm. I was summoned by a mad little drow who took over this part of the sahuagin city a long time ago. This chest was extremely important to him, apparently. |
| 46785 This cell appears to be where the umber hulks gained entrance to the castle. Several stew pots lie in the tunnel area directly behind the cell, which seems to be their feeding area. Putting more food in there might draw the umber hulks; it is uncertain. |
| 46786 The sahuagin were attacking, and he didn't want them to get the chest after he died... so "POOF!", in I came, attached to a ninety-nine-year contract. Only forty years to go. |
| 46787 The drow wasn't much more entertaining than the sahuagin, really. He smelled better, though. I don't think I'll ever be able to stomach fish again... yech. |
| 46788 To top it off, I got stuck with the drow's imps too, which are bound here but keep teleporting away from the sahuagin. I wish they would just go away. |
| 46789 I mean, I can only play "I spy" and "peek-a-boo" so many times without getting tired of it, but not THEM, oh no. Rotten impish bastards. |
| 46790 Er... just how can you smell without a nose? |
| 46791 Is there no way I can release you from your task? |
| 46792 What is it, exactly, that you guard? |
| 46793 What's with those imps, anyway? |
| 46794 Maybe I should just be on my way... |
| 46795 No matter your demeanor, you are a beholder still and I shall destroy you! |
| 46796 Oh, they've been here since the drow who summoned me was slaughtered... Sixty years with only two imps and a mad fish-king for company. Is this Hell? |
| 46797 There's a chest in there that the sahuagin put something valuable in. Always whispered the incantation to open it, though. Like *I* would care. |
| 46798 The imps figured out the incantation. I suppose they told you, if you didn't squish 'em on the spot. Not that I would be sad, exactly, to see them gone... |
| 46799 What is it, exactly, that you guard? |
| 46800 How is it that you came to be in this place? |
| 46801 Maybe I should just be on my way... |
| 46802 No matter your demeanor, you are a beholder still and I shall destroy you! |
| 46803 If you have to go, you have to go. I'll be here if you need to chat... for the next forty years, anyway. After that... well, I got this great tomb lined up... |
| 46804 Some action! Finally! Rules are rules, though. If you're not going to touch the chest, you have to take the first shot at me... so make it a good one! |
| 46805 This dog stew that you have placed will most likely draw any umber hulks in the area to this feeding room. It might be wise to vacate the cell. |
| 46806 Not a clue. I wouldn't recommend touching it, though. I haven't had any real excitement in a long, long time, but I've no compulsion towards killing, you know. |
| 46807 Is there no way I can release you from your task? |
| 46808 Just how did you end up here, anyway? |
| 46809 What's with those imps in the other room, anyway? |
| 46810 Perhaps I should be on my way. |
| 46811 Well, I intend to have what's in that chest, so it's time for you to die! |
| 46812 Awww, that's sweet. Short of death, there isn't any way to shorten the forty years I have left... and I'm not eager to greet the Beyond just yet. |
| 46813 Do you know what's in that chest you're guarding? |
| 46814 Just how did you end up here, anyway? |
| 46815 What's with those imps in the other room, anyway? |
| 46816 Perhaps I should be on my way. |
| 46817 Eager or not, prepare to die! |
| 46818 What, you think I can't smell just because I got the one-big-eye thing going? How much do you know about magic, anyway? You're almost as bad as those imps. |
| 46819 Is there no way I can release you from your task? |
| 46820 What is it, exactly, that you guard? |
| 46821 What's with those imps, anyway? |
| 46822 Maybe I should just be on my way... |
| 46823 I will not stand to be insulted by a creature of evil! Prepare to die! |
| 46824 If you're going to ask me for a game of peek-a-boo, I'm not interested. |
| 46825 No, no. I'm just wondering which of these chests you actually guard. |
| 46826 I'd like to know how you ended up here. |
| 46827 I'd like you to tell me about those imps, if you can. |
| 46828 Is there no way I can convince you to let me see what's in that chest you guard? |
| 46829 Well, I'll be on my way, then... |
| 46830 I'd rather kill you than play games, beholder! |
| 46831 What? Are you in desperate need or something? You have a dying relative that desperately needs what's in this chest? |
| 46832 OH, I get it! You just HAVE to have what's in this chest, right? Because if a beholder's guarding it, it HAS to be cool! |
| 46833 Keep in mind that the drow who summoned me was mad. But, hey, who am I to judge, I suppose. I've been playing tic-tac-toe with a pair of imps for sixty years. |
| 46834 ...sigh... |
| 46835 Oh... in case you didn't hear an answer in that: No, you CAN'T look at what's in the chest. The drow specifically summoned me to guard *this* chest. |
| 46836 What, you were actually going to ask me to play peek-a-boo? For a supposedly smart <RACE>, you don't have much imagination with the eye jokes, do you? |
| 46837 Oh, promises, promises. My eye's bigger than your whole head, you creepy little <RACE>. |
| 46838 Another mission for the temple The thief, Travin, has directed me above the Copper Coronet in the Slums District, saying there is a house with red brick wall and red slate shingles. There I will find someone named Borinall, who has the ring I seek. |
| 46839 Find the Nether Scroll for Edwin Edwin remembered a tale about something called "the Nether Scroll," possibly hidden in one of the tombs in the Graveyard District of Athkatla. |
| 46840 Edwin is being hunted by the Red Wizards? A Red Wizard by the name of Degardan appears to be hunting Edwin... our mage seems to have a hefty price on his head for angering his former colleagues. I have covered for Edwin for now, but I have the feeling this is not the last time I've seen Degardan. |
| 46841 Finding Irenicus in Hell I encountered my "half-brother" Sarevok, or at least his spirit. He offered to show me how to summon the power to become the Slayer at will, the pure avatar of Bhaal, and I have accepted. Sarevok was glad... he wanted to battle what he considered an equal, and he has certainly found one in me. |
| 46842 Raelis Shai asks for aid It seems the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons is in need of some adventurers. A woman by the name of Raelis Shai has asked for any interested to go backstage and speak to her about the matter. |
| 46843 Free Haer'Dalis from imprisonment by Mekrath Mekrath has released Haer'Dalis to my care, telling me that the man is in the north storeroom in the wizard's tower. He is likely confused, so I should go and speak to him immediately. |
| 46844 Retrieve Mekrath's stolen mirror from his imp I have completed Mekrath's task, and the wizard has "rewarded" me with a slave of his. He says that the man is in the north storeroom in his tower... I suppose I should go and see who this person is, at least. |
| 46845 Retrieve Haer'Dalis's gem. Haer'Dalis assures me that I have the gem he was looking for and urges me to go to the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons Inn in the Bridge District to speak to the mistress there, Raelis Shai. |
| 46846 Rescue Raelis and Haer'Dalis from the planar prison It appears I have come through the portal only to enter some strange kind of prison that appears to be in another dimension. Haer'Dalis and his troupe are nowhere in sight, but I did confront the bounty hunters... and have found a gnome by the name of Tagget who has apparently escaped from somewhere in this place. |
| 46847 Rescue Raelis and Haer'Dalis from the planar prison Tagget told me that the warden of this prison keeps slaves who are controlled mentally through the magical collars that they wear. I should be wary of such devices if I find them. |
| 46848 Rescue Raelis and Haer'Dalis from the planar prison Bad news. Tagget has informed me that there is no actual physical exit from the prison... the only way out is through the warden himself or through other powerful magic, such as the type Raelis demonstrated when she summoned the conduits. |
| 46849 Rescue Raelis and Haer'Dalis from the planar prison Haer'Dalis and his troupe are being kept in cells with the warden, in a room directly north of where I entered. Tagget warned me to be wary, however... some of the hallways have markings that will teleport you to other rooms in the prison. If I head directly north, the markings lead to rooms full of the warden's guards. |
| 46850 Rescue Raelis and Haer'Dalis from the planar prison I have accepted Tagget's plan of an alternate route that may lead to a way out of here. Going east, Tagget suggests I find the Master of Thralls and destroy his orb... the device that allows control over the slaves through their collars. That done, the warden will not be protected and will be far easier to defeat... which, it seems, must be done lest the warden track any who leave. Including us. |
| 46851 Rescue Raelis and Haer'Dalis from the planar prison The Master of Thralls's dwarven slave has told me how to destroy the orb: A room I passed through contains a magical brazier in its center, the flames of which will destroy the item and release those who wear the collars... leaving the warden unprotected. |
| 46852 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Well, it seems that Raelis has given me the deed to the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons... although I've no actors, no director, no play, or anything else to do with it, for that matter. Owning a playhouse is a far cry from singing songs in taverns. Fortunately, the owner of the inn, Samuel Thunderburp, seems to know a director who came to see Raelis, and is going to send him my way. |
| 46853 Running the Five Flagons playhouse The director is a strange little man named Higgold, whom I've agreed to put in charge of staging a play. He said it would take about a week to roust up some actors and a decent play to put into production, and bade me to return after that time... with some coin, naturally, to invest. |
| 46854 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Higgold has gathered together his actors and introduced me to them. His choice of play, "The Sorcerer's Bane," seems to be cursed in some manner, according to the actors. Higgold scoffs at the idea, and hopefully, he's right. |
| 46855 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Higgold asked me to pick between two actresses for the lead role, Karenina. I chose Jenna, as she seems far less trouble... hopefully, my choice is sound. |
| 46856 Running the Five Flagons playhouse Higgold asked me to pick between two actresses for the lead role, Karenina. I chose Iltheia. While she seems a bit of a diva, she is the better actress by Higgold's own admission... and I am sure I can handle whatever problems she causes. |
| 46857 Running the Five Flagons playhouse With the matter of financing settled, the play is ready to begin rehearsals. Higgold has said he will send someone to find me if there are any problems that require my attention. Rehearsals should take six to seven weeks, so I suppose I shouldn't travel to any other dimensions in the meantime... that might make me difficult to find, heh. But it's official regardless. I am the patron of an actual theater. |

| 46860 Cernd's Baby |
| 46861 I should have liked to stay, but it is not to be, I shall return to my home in Trademeet. If you have need of me again, I shall be happy to join with you again. Farewell. |
| 46862 Well met, <CHARNAME>. I trust that, by your being here, you've defeated the Shade Lord. |
| 46863 We have indeed defeated him. Did your journey home go well? |
| 46864 The journey went well, though the thought of my slain companions weighed heavily on me. It is good to know that you've avenged their foul end. |
| 46865 To be honest, I don't care about your useless friends. I killed the Shade Lord only for the joy of it. |
| 46866 That is a cruel thing to say. Perhaps it is better that I did not join you back in that evil cave. If this was a social visit, then it has ended. Begone from my abode! |
| 46867 Many souls were avenged when we destroyed the Shade Lord. What do you do now? |
| 46868 At present, I am on sabbatical. I find myself missing the road, and I long again for adventure. Does your party require another sword arm? |
| 46869 Not at this time, good halfling. Though, should we have need, we shall surely call on you. |
| 46870 I do grow weary of being about the house, and I long to adventure once more. Should you require me in the future, I shall be here. |
| 46871 I would be pleased to have you join my party. |
| 46872 I am happy to join your party. |
| 46873 The creature is dead, no thanks to you. |
| 46874 That is a cruel thing to say. It would have done no good to face him without your support. If this was a social visit, then it has ended. Begone from my abode! |
| 46875 You have returned, I see. What is it that you need? |
| 46876 We need nothing at this time. |
| 46877 I should be honored to have you join my party. |
| 46878 In truth, since we last met, I have considered again raising up a party on my own, though it is a terrible bother. I shall come with you, then. |
| 46879 How can you leave me like this while my sister lies dying? Will you not reconsider? I need your help! |
| 46880 That is a good point, Mazzy. My apologies. I will help you and your sister. |
| 46881 I'm sorry, but this isn't my concern. |
| 46882 Are you still here, halfling? Run along now. You grow tiresome. |
| 46883 You brutish <PRO_RACE>! I shall never wish to see you again! I will find an antidote for Pala's poison myself! |
| 46884 An isolated slip of logic, I'm sure. |
| 46885 Good fortune to you! I hope you are enjoying Trademeet despite our recent troubles. Excuse me, I must return to my studies. I'm learning the ancient secrets of Untherian cask-making. |

| 46901 Thank you for helping Pala. I am forever in your debt! |
| 46902 Please help Pala! I don't know what I have done! |
| 46903 Wallace is a good person. Perhaps he didn't realize that his love potion was poisoned. Please help Mazzy find some way to bring my Pala back! |
| 46904 Thank you, <GABBER>, for helping Pala. She is resting now. With luck, she will be awake soon. |
| 46905 Thanks to you, my daughter Pala has awakened. I shall hold you dear in my heart, <CHARNAME>. |
| 46906 Mazzy, my daughter! It is so good to see you home. I am always worried that you will be hurt in your adventures. |
| 46907 Fear not, Mother. I always have stalwart friends at my side. Regardless, danger is always present for those who wish to follow the righteous life. |
| 46908 I know, my dear. I do reserve the right to worry. It is a mother's place to do so. Pala will be happy to see you. I welcome you and your friends. |
| 46909 Thank you, Mother. |
| 46910 You must be friends of Mazzy's, decked out in adventurers' garb as you are. It is a pleasure to meet you. |
| 46911 Please leave. I do not wish to be rude, but I have just received word of my daughter's passing. Our family wishes to be alone. |
| 46912 'Tis a sad household you see before you. My betrothed's sister has passed on. Perhaps it is best if you leave. |
| 46913 I can stay with you no longer. My sister is dying as we speak, yet you refuse to come with me to Trademeet to see her. Your callousness is *very* offensive. Goodbye. |

| 46920 Barl, approach us, please! These good people would speak with you. |
| 46921 What is it, Overgold? I am quite busy. |
| 46922 Barl, I have just returned from your chambers. What do you think it is that I've found? |
| 46923 You should never have entered my chambers, old man. |
| 46924 But enter them I did, Barl. I found alchemists' poisons, bottles, and a holy symbol of Talona. You have betrayed Waukeen. |
| 46925 I refuse to listen to this. Get rid of these fools, Overgold. |
| 46926 Indeed! Here is a bottle! It might not work, but what other choice do we have? The poison resists normal and magical cures. |
| 46927 I am very sorry, Mazzy. We had a viper in our midst and did not know it. I wish Waukeen's blessing upon your sister. Perhaps that bottle is indeed an antidote. |
| 46928 That is our only hope. <CHARNAME>, let us return to my house. |
| 46929 Welcome back. I am ready to leave if you are. |
| 46930 Pala is better, I see. |
| 46931 We no longer have need of your services. |
| 46932 Indeed. My thanks for your assistance in this difficult time. |
| 46933 Then let us depart. We have much to accomplish out in the world. |
| 46934 I wish you well, in that case. There is no need for you to join the party at this time. |
| 46935 As you will it, so shall it be. If you have need of me in the future, I shall be here. I thank you again. |
| 46936 I am happy to join you. |
| 46937 I should just like to remind you that my sister is quite ill, and the answer may lie in the Waukeenar temple in Trademeet! We must go there as soon as possible! |
| 46938 I should just like to remind you that my sister is quite ill, and the answer may lie at the Waukeenar temple in Trademeet! We must go there as soon as possible! |
| 46939 Your callous disregard for my sister's illness is disturbing. You should have taken me to the temple superior by now. I am quitting this group. |
| 46940 You've the rank smell of Golodon the Unmanned! ...Bastard! |
| 46941 Hello, friend. Would you care to see my wares? |
| 46942 I would like to see what you have for sale. |
| 46943 No, thanks. |
| 46944 As you will. Farewell. |
| 46945 Alas, my friend. I'm afraid I have no wares to show you; the cursed genies have taken over all of Trademeet's mercantile enterprises. Perhaps another time. |
| 46946 Um, who are you, and why are you in my house? |
| 46947 Hello, sister! It is nice to see you home. |
| 46948 It is nice to be back. I see that Danno has all but moved in to our house. Perhaps he has... feelings for you? |
| 46949 I wouldn't be adverse to that. A cask maker would be a fine catch, nay? |
| 46950 Danno Fairfoot is indeed a fine catch, Pala. Let no one tell you differently. We shall speak more later. |
| 46951 We have recently received word of my sister's passing. Please leave us be. |
| 46952 Let all who oppose nature meet their doom at her hands! |
| 46953 Thank you for removing Faldorn from power. All of us wished that we could challenge her, but she was too powerful. May the Earthmother bless you. |
| 46954 The earth has been raped and plundered for too long! Harsh justice shall prevail under Faldorn's hand! |
| 46955 You are a savior to us all. Thank you for destroying Faldorn's reign of terror. Truly, this was a terrible time for us all. We must make amends to the townspeople of Trademeet. |
| 46956 The creature is not yet dead. |
| 46957 This is not good. If you will take me, I will rejoin you, and we shall hunt the Shade Lord down and destroy him. |
| 46958 Thank you, but I have no need for your help. |
| 46959 An excellent idea, Mazzy. Join with me, and we shall conquer! |
| 46960 I hardly need you to fight a battle. Stay at home and bake or something. |
| 46961 As you will. I wish you luck. |
| 46962 I am happy to join you. |
| 46963 What a foolish thing to say! You should think before you allow such drivel to come from your lips. Leave my house! |
| 46964 You're the last person that I wish to see. How rude can one be? |
| 46965 I realize that I've been less than polite. I've come back to apologize and ask you to join my party. |
| 46966 I care not, halfling. |
| 46967 I realize that I've been less than polite. I've come back to apologize and ask you to join my party. |
| 46968 I accept your apology. Occasionally, a bit of goodness shines through your mask of indifferent rudeness. I shall rejoin, but I warn you against being so offensive in the future. |
| 46969 It may be as you say, yet your reputation precedes you. Prove yourself worthy and return to me when you are known to be righteous to the world at large. |
| 46970 Leave my house! |
| 46971 Well met. I trust that, by your being here, you've defeated the Shade Lord. |
| 46972 We have indeed defeated him. Did your journey home go well? |
| 46973 The creature is dead, no thanks to you. |
| 46974 The creature is not yet dead. |
| 46975 The journey went well, though the thought of my slain companions weighed heavily on me. It is good to know that you've avenged their foul end. |
| 46976 To be honest, I don't care about your useless friends. I killed the Shade Lord only for the joy of it. |
| 46977 Many souls were avenged when we destroyed the Shade Lord. What do you do now? |
| 46978 That is a cruel thing to say. Perhaps it is better that I did not join you back in that evil cave. If this was a social visit, then it has ended. Begone from my abode! |
| 46979 At present, I am on sabbatical. I find myself missing the road, and I long again for adventure. Does your party require another sword arm? |
| 46980 Not at this time, good halfling. Though, should we have need, we shall surely call on you. |
| 46981 I would be pleased to have you join my party. |
| 46982 I do grow weary of being about the house, and I long to adventure once more. Should you require me in the future, I shall be here. |
| 46983 I am happy to join your party. |
| 46984 That is a cruel thing to say. It would have done no good to face him without your support. If this was a social visit, then it has ended. Begone from my abode! |
| 46985 This is not good. If you will take me, I will rejoin you, and we shall hunt the Shade Lord down and destroy him. |
| 46986 Thank you, but I have no need for your help. |
| 46987 An excellent idea, Mazzy. Join with me, and we shall conquer! |
| 46988 I hardly need you to fight a battle. Stay at home and bake or something. |
| 46989 What a foolish thing to say! You should think before you allow such drivel to come from your lips. Leave my house! |
| 46990 Welcome to my home. What is it that you need? |
| 46991 We need nothing at this time. |
| 46992 I should be honored to have you join my party. |
| 46993 You are the last person that I wish to see. How rude can one <PRO_RACE> be? |
| 46994 I realize that I've been less than polite. I've come back to apologize and ask you to join my party. |
| 46995 I care not, halfling. |
| 46996 I realize that I've been less than polite. I've come back to apologize and ask you to join my party. |
| 46997 I accept your apology. Occasionally, a bit of goodness shines through your mask of indifferent rudeness. I shall rejoin, but I warn you against being so offensive in the future. |
| 46998 It may be as you say, yet your reputation precedes you. Prove yourself worthy and return to me when you are known to be righteous to the world at large. |
| 46999 Leave my house! |
| 47000 The evil is dispelled, halfling. Your imprisonment is over, and you are free to go. |
| 47001 Arvoreen be praised! These are good tidings indeed. Who are you, friend? How is it that the Shade Lord has met his doom? |
| 47002 I am <GABBER>. This party has destroyed the Shade Lord and lifted the blanket of evil that has lain over these lands. |
| 47003 I should ask who you might be to have ended up a prisoner in this dark place? |
| 47004 I have no time to answer your questions. You are free and that is enough. |
| 47005 Well met! A true act of heroism! The Shade Lord's destruction was also my intent and that of my party. Alas, his shadow dragon guardian has slain all of my friends. |
| 47006 (Mazzy pauses and seems to be fighting back tears.) They were slain most foully and turned into shadows by the fiend! I'm sorry, it is difficult to speak about it. |
| 47007 I sorrow to hear of your loss. Your friends have been well and truly avenged. |
| 47008 What do you intend to do now? |
| 47009 It is a pity. I must take my leave. You are free to go. |
| 47010 I have you to thank for that. Life must go on, and evil is still rampant in this world. Have you need of another warrior, my friend? I sense that you are a good <MANWOMAN>. |
| 47011 I would be happy to have a valiant companion. Welcome! |
| 47012 I have no need of another companion at this time. Farewell. |
| 47013 With my companions slain and their killer slain by you, I am unsure of what path to take. Evil is still rampant in this world... have you need of another warrior, my friend? |
| 47014 I would be happy to have a valiant companion. Welcome! |
| 47015 I have no need of another companion at this time. Farewell. |
| 47016 The Shade Lord's destruction was my party's intention. We were hired by Minister Lloyd of Imnesvale. Alas, the shadow dragon guardian has slain all of my friends. |
| 47017 As you will. Thank you for your assistance. Should you ever need a brave companion, I reside in Trademeet with my family. Ask for me at the tavern. I am well known. Fare thee well. |
| 47018 Yes, you are free to go. The Shade Lord is dead. |
| 47019 Do what you wish. I care not. |
| 47020 I shall leave, then. You are a contemptible person. |
| 47021 Hah! Unless you've come to Trademeet for the view and maybe some watered-down ale, if you can afford it, there is nothing for you here. |
| 47022 Between the attacks on the town by all the forest animals and these genies swallowing up all trade, there's nothing that can be done for this place. You'd best begone. |
| 47023 I was driving a caravan through the forest just west of here, and we were attacked by a horde of bears. Bears! All that trouble an' then Raafee goes and sells everything to those genies. |
| 47024 No need to talk to us. We're just the caravan drivers here. If you have business, you'd best talk to Raafee. He's the caravan master. |
| 47025 Well, the animals are gone... that'll make the next trip a lot safer. That is, if the caravan even comes back here. With those genies about, I just don't know... |
| 47026 Until those genies are gone, no one in this town is truly safe. I hear they're hoarding all the food that comes in here. |
| 47027 'Tis a pleasant enough place now that the forest has stopped attacking. Our caravans still aren't making a copper penny though, thanks to those djinn. |
| 47028 We should be heading out and returning very quickly with loaded wagons! The merchant guild in town has charged us with buying all the supplies Trademeet can handle! 'Tis wonderful! |
| 47029 Business should return to normal very soon now. We caravan drivers have our livelihood back now that those genies are gone. Thanks to you, I hear. |
| 47030 We'll keep on supplying the town now... at least, until the Sythillisian Empire comes and invades the entire region. But at least there's a chance. |
| 47031 Greetings. I am Raafee, the caravan master for our group. At least, I was until those damned djinn drove me out of business. |
| 47032 Waukeen would never 'ave allowed this to happen if she were still alive to watch over us. Those genies have moved in and swallowed all the trade routes. |
| 47033 They mesmerizes every caravan that comes in, including mine. They makes ye take a poor penny for all yer goods, and there's nothing Lord Logan Coprith can do. |
| 47034 Bah! It makes my mouth swim with bile. I don't know if I'll even have enough coin to have the caravan return to Murann now. |
| 47035 I can do little for ye until them genies be gone... and then I must find supply for this town. Talk to the head o' the merchant guild... Busya be her name. |
| 47036 Raafee thanks ye, my <LADYLORD>. I'll soon be restorin' this town to proper business... despite the danger from these animal attacks. But we'll fare well enough. |
| 47037 Ye're a true hero... the roads be safe, an' now Raafee can refill the shops of Trademeet. The merchant guild has paid me well to ply the trade lanes once again. |
| 47038 Ye've saved me family from destitution, friend. I wish there were some way I could repay ye. Hopefully the lord o' this place has rewarded ye well. |
| 47039 I be sorry, but I can't talk now. I must ready the drivers to head back to Murann. Now that the troubles are over, we've been commissioned to restock the town! |
| 47040 Good day to you, stranger. I am Salahee, wife of Raafee, who runs the caravans here. I... I wish we could offer you better hospitality, but with those genies here, it's all we can do to stay alive. |
| 47041 It has been troubling. The genies mesmerized the merchants in the caravans so they sell their goods to them very cheaply, and no one else may buy. No one can do a thing about it. |
| 47042 Between the attacks of the animals on our wagons and the genies who hoard our goods, my husband has gone nearly bankrupt. I... I fear for his health. |
| 47043 You are welcome here. We are not as suspicious as the people of the town, although I think they have every right to be fearful. |
| 47044 It is wonderful! The genies are gone! We still fear attacks by animals on the roads, but at least my husband now has a chance! Th-thank you! |
| 47045 On behalf of my husband and I, I thank you for everything you have done. Our caravans have been restored to prosperity. Wherever we go, we shall tell of your good deed, dear <MANWOMAN>! |
| 47046 The people here be very unfriendly to the Rom... We come only to find a home, and they fling stones at us and accuse us of bringing down the wrath of nature upon this town. They are crazy, I tell you! |
| 47047 Greetings to you, good <MANWOMAN>. You are welcome amongst our family of Rom, and I offer you whatever hospitality I may. My name is Mastav... Perhaps you wish to have your fortune told by my wife, yes? |
| 47048 Do not listen to what the people of this strange town might tell you. We have nothing to do with these attacks of animals. We are in as dire straits here as they! |
| 47049 We Rom were forced to flee from the deeper forests by the attacks of forest creatures. My brother was... killed... most horribly by a pack of wolves. They are directed by evil, I tell you... although I know not what. |
| 47050 The attacks from the animals have stopped, and the people have stopped their accusations. For once, we Rom are safe... We thank you for this, good <MANWOMAN>. |
| 47051 You are welcome in our tent, you who are a hero in this place. We will soon return to our forests, I think, now that the creatures do not attack us Rom any longer. |
| 47052 Luck shines upon you, I think, and the Rom always welcome those who are favored by luck. If the gods smile upon you, they may smile upon us as well, eh? |
| 47053 I greet you, strangers, on behalf of my family and in accordance with Rom tradition. I am Kveroslava, the mother of this family and its heart. |
| 47054 If you wish, I can tell you something of your place in the future. A mere 10 gp should you desire the benefit of my gift of insight, good <MANWOMAN>. |
| 47055 Certainly. 10 gp it is. |
| 47056 I am sorry, but I don't have that much gold to offer you. |
| 47057 No, thank you. |
| 47058 I've no interest in foolishness or parlor tricks. Restrict your subterfuge to those who are gullible, woman. |
| 47059 As you wish. Come and sit beside me, good <MANWOMAN>, and I shall take ahold of your hand. Close your eyes and let Kveroslava feel your aura... |
| 47060 It is no worry, stranger. My talent is but a simple one, and nothing you need desire if you are light of purse. Join us for a song, if you will. |
| 47061 Perhaps you are the smarter one, then, not to desire to see your fate before its time, eh? No doubt it is better this way. |
| 47062 It is no trick, and you are very insulting in your tone. I do not deserve such an attitude, stranger. If you cannot be civil, then begone. |
| 47063 I have nothing further to say to you or your friends. You are welcome in our camp because we are Rom, but I have no desire to speak further with you. |
| 47064 Hello to you, dear <MANWOMAN>. Kveroslava bids that you are welcome in our camp, as all are. |
| 47065 I... I cannot reveal your future. You all have a powerful destiny, one which clouds my visions... and frightens me. I wish you good fortune, dear <MANWOMAN>. |
| 47066 You are a strong <PRO_MANWOMAN>. You have powerful blood and a... a destiny that shines so brightly. It is... it is the blood of a god that flows in you... |
| 47067 But you are not alone... there is another. Another who calls to you for help... and I see a man, a dark man whose life has been taken from him... |
| 47068 I see this other... she screams! She screams! There is a beast... a beast of terrible power! And... a dark man... the Exile. He smiles! He smiles! |
| 47069 I... I... NO! No more! P-please forgive me, good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Your path has overwhelmed my limited gifts. You... frighten me. I wish you... good fortune. |
| 47070 Your aura is strong, ranger... but hate festers within. Conquer this to restore your life. Look to love. Find the strength within to overcome your long, long past. |
| 47071 My past is not so long, and I have no love to speak of. 'Tis simple words that could apply to anyone, dear woman. Ahhh, but I shall think on them nonetheless. |
| 47072 You seek a rare bond with your goddess, child. Virtue and honor you hold close to your heart. Cherish them, for they will protect you in the end. |
| 47073 I... see. Well spoken, gypsy woman. It is almost as if Arvoreen himself were perched on your shoulder... |
| 47074 You are a man of great pride, to match your strength and honor. Banish your prideâ€â€or lose all that is important to you! Your greatest challenge yet awaits. |
| 47075 I, for one, do not like to ponder overmuch the possibilities that the future may hold for me. But I shall heed your words, lady. |
| 47076 You have lost someone close to you. Another world has been opened, but the price is the allegiance you hold most dear. Be wary, Harper, for all is not as you believe. |
| 47077 An excellent warning, if vague. I shall think on your words, though I doubt I shall alter my course. What will come will come. |
| 47078 I... I am sorry. I can sense nothing distinct in your future, good <MANWOMAN>. Perhaps I am tiredâ€â€please forgive me... here are your coins returned to you. |
| 47079 You strive to be noble, but blackness is in your heart. Beware lest it consume all you love. Soon you shall stand on a precipice... to overcome, or drown in darkness forever. |
| 47080 I... see nothing of myself in your words, woman. A waste of my coin and nothing more. |
| 47081 Such a wonderful, naive child. Do not lose that, dear girl... you are a bright gem filled with compassion. Do not become darkened by the need of others... |
| 47082 Wh-what does that mean? I don't understand! I had... I had just hoped you would tell me I would fly again someday. But I guess that's not possible, is it? |
| 47083 You are an evil, bitter man lusting for power. Guard against the unknown and mark your friends... Your friends, not your allies, shall save you at the end. |
| 47084 The end? The end of what?! Bah! Useless premonitions! Why do I even bother asking such unshaped talent?! |
| 47085 You are far from home, dark one. Know this: You shall return home soon. It calls you. Soon you will face a choice harder than you ever thought it could be. |
| 47086 Home? I have no wish to return home, woman. If the priestesses of Lolth wish to come for me, they shall return me to the Underdark as a corpse and nothing more. |
| 47087 Your future is unclear, ranger. You are a gentle man with a will of iron. A goddess fondly looks down on you. Continue your fight against evil... it shall serve you well. |
| 47088 Oooh! This is most goodness of news, is it not, Boo?! |
| 47089 I am sorry you got mixed up in this matter. You could have prevented the carnage, but I do not blame you for it. I shall... send men to clean this up. Good day. |
| 47090 A moment of your time, <CHARNAME>. I understand that you have... taken a commission from a noble family to enter the tomb and retrieve something from it. |
| 47091 I have no objection. The tomb has been a sore point for far too long, and if anyone can do something about that, I am sure you are the one. |
| 47092 But I am concerned about what you may retrieve. The mantle... it belongs to an ancestor of two families, although each is sure to claim it as theirs alone. |
| 47093 This can end only in bloodshed. I cannot offer the gold that the nobles have, but in the name of peace, I ask that you bring the mantle to me once it is found. |
| 47094 I will not force you to, however... perhaps things are not as bad as I fear. But I shall leave your actions to your conscience. |
| 47095 Greetings, <CHARNAME>, how goes the... quest in the tomb? Do you bring the mantle to me, so that this feud of the Lurraxols and the Alibakkars may be ended? |
| 47096 No, I do not have the mantle with me. |
| 47097 I have the mantle, but I cannot give it to you, Lord Logan. |
| 47098 Yes, I have the mantle... take it so that my involvement with these families is done. |
| 47099 Ah, I see. I pray that you will be able to retrieve it, <CHARNAME>. Trademeet has seen enough bloodshed; we do not need these nobles adding to it. |
| 47100 I... see. As you wish, <CHARNAME>. You have done enough for my town that I am forced to trust your instincts. I simply hope that nothing ill comes of this. |
| 47101 Thank you. Here is some coin... I know it is not as much as you might have received from those families. Still... it is the right thing to do. Thank you. |
| 47102 Begone from my sight, <CHARNAME>. You have given the mantle... my own family's property... to Lord Logan. He has no right to it, and you are a fool... and not welcome in my home. |
| 47103 Get out of my house! You gave the mantle to Lord Logan, didn't you?! Fool! What is HE supposed to do with it?! Now we'll never get what is rightfully ours! Bah! |
| 47104 Well, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 47105 Well, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 47106 As you wish. Stay out of trouble, you, or you'll be facing the consequences. |
| 47107 Brus'll be waiting for ye outside. He's me nephew, an' he'll show you to the Copper Coronet. Ye'll find work easily enough there, ye will. |
| 47108 Fare ye well, then... an' give me greetings to Lehtinan if ye happens by 'im, heh... |

| 47194 And be sure you've fire or acid at your hand. Trolls cannot be dispatched by any other means. |
| 47195 You look funny. Mama says you're not one of the Rom. |
| 47196 Papa says we're going to be going home soon. I like the forests better. The trees are so big, and the elves people treat us real nice. |
| 47197 We used to have great big parties with the other Rom families. Papa says a lot of them have died now. Killed by wild animals, Papa says. Why would the animals do that? |
| 47198 I don't like it here. The people aren't Rom, and they're mean. |
| 47199 You're not an elf, and you're really short. And you got hair on your feet. What kind of person are you? |
| 47200 Trolls are dangerous enough... I have heard they are permanently killed only by fire or acid. I don't know a thing about the other creatures. |
| 47201 Have you never seen a halfling before, child? Sweet Arvoreen, I didn't think that would be possible in this part of the world. |

| 47206 They are nasty, right? I know trolls can only be permanently killed by fire or acid, but those snake things look even meaner. Why would they come here? |
| 47207 Comment on the shape of my face again, brat, and you'll quickly discover just how mean I can be! (Observant little urchin, isn't he?) |
| 47208 We had lots of elves back home in the forests, but none like you. Why is your skin so black? Why aren't any of the other elves a pretty black like you? |
| 47209 That is more of a question than you know, child. Suffice it to say that a tiny rivvil like yourself would not wish to meet more of my kind. |
| 47210 Sand Golem |
| 47211 You're an elf! We had lots of elves in the forest! They were real nice. I don't remember any of them being sad, though... why are you so sad? |
| 47212 Sand Golem |
| 47213 Sad? Oh... oh, what a darling boy you are. I'm not that sad, really... it is not for a young boy such as you to worry about. You should think of happier things. |
| 47214 Hoi there, my <LADYLORD>. You all are adventurers, aren't you? My name's Jidek, and I intend to be a great warrior adventurer, just as soon as my parents let me leave. |
| 47215 Something strange up here. Be careful, this place has all manner of dangerous devices in it. I don't know what they do, but I know we would be safer if we shut them off. |
| 47216 I can't wait to get out of here, stranger. I, for one, think that the Rom life is boring. |
| 47217 We should look in that room to the west first, west and just a bit north. I think I saw some weapons in there. It's a room off the corner of this one. |
| 47218 You don't know anything, boy. You will regret leaving our people... just as we would be saddened by the loss of a strong lad like yourself. |
| 47219 I know you keep saying that, Papa, but I need to learn it for myself. There's a whole world out there that I've never seen! |
| 47220 Do you smell that? Smells like lightning, but indoors? That can't be right. I think I remember. Look to the right... the machine making the storm... |
| 47221 Well, if you think life out there is so wonderful, boy, then perhaps you should go! |
| 47222 *sigh* I don't think it's wonderful, Papa, I... I... oh, never mind. |
| 47223 Have you seen many wonderful things in your travels, stranger? I hear the city of Athkatla is so huge it could hold a million people! And the streets there are littered with gold coins that the nobles just throw away! |
| 47224 Do not be silly, my son. Athkatla is a dark and dirty place where the Rom are not welcome. You would be disappointed, I think. |
| 47225 Well, how do you know, Mama, if you've never been there? |
| 47226 Don't speak to your mother in such a manner! |
| 47227 Butâ€â€! I never talked to her likeâ€â€! I just |
| 47228 No! Enough, Jidek! |
| 47229 I know because I know, my son. One day, you will be old enough that you may go there, if you wish. But you will see that I am telling the truth. |
| 47230 Well, what do you think, stranger? Is the City of Coin really so bad as my mother says? |
| 47231 Yes, it is. You would do well to stay away from there. |
| 47232 It is a difficult and dirty place, Jidek. But it is not a terrible place to live, if one chooses to. |
| 47233 No, it's not so bad at all. I prefer the big cities myself. |
| 47234 I don't think it's my place to involve myself in this argument. |
| 47235 Oh. I... had pictured it being something wonderful... |
| 47236 Do not be so crestfallen, my son. It would be wrong to plant false ideals in your mind. In time, you will learn there is a place for everything in this world. |
| 47237 I suppose you are right, Mama. I... I'm going to go for a walk. I won't go into the town though, and I won't be long. |
| 47238 Of course, my son. Be safe. Remember... you have many years ahead to do all the things you wish, and you will have the wisdom, then, to deal with them. |
| 47239 Oh? I had thought it would be so... beautiful. But if it is not such a bad place, I... I think I would like to visit it someday. |
| 47240 But not today, my son. You are young yet, and such a journey can wait. |
| 47241 See? The stranger knows the truth of it! I should go and see this city! |
| 47242 No! It is too dangerous for you, boy! I won't allow it! |
| 47243 If I want to go, you can't stop me! I wish to see the big city for myself, Papa! And I'm going! |
| 47244 *sigh* I suppose it was too much to hope for that you would stay. You have always been so full of curiosity, Jidek. |
| 47245 Be safe, my son. And... if the city does not agree with you, you will always be welcome here with your family. |
| 47246 Thank you, Mama. And I'll be fine... I know the forests like the back of my hand. I can travel safely enough, alone. And... I'll send word as soon as possible. |
| 47247 So... goodbye, Mama. Goodbye, Papa. Rinin. I will return one day, and I'll be rich, even... you'll see. |
| 47248 Oh... |
| 47249 Ho, friend! Welcome to the tent of pleasure, haha! I've been here for over a week myself, and I can tell you that the prices are well worth it! |
| 47250 Who are you? |
| 47251 Just how is it that you are able to afford these prices? |
| 47252 I'll be going, then. |
| 47253 The name's Wilfred. Wilfred the Red of Luskan, although I'm sure you've probably heard of me. Heh. Adventurer extraordinaire and currently living off the excesses of my most recent plunder. |
| 47254 It's quite a story. A tale for the ages, you might say... you wouldn't happen to be a bard, would you? Well, I'd be happy to regale you with the story anyway, if you're willing. |
| 47255 I'm listening. |
| 47256 Never mind, I have to go. |
| 47257 Aha! Glad you asked! You are looking at one of the finest adventurers ever to hail from the city of Luskan, my friend! I am just recently come from a fine exploit that has left me considerably richer! |
| 47258 Well, I was glad to meetcha anyway. |
| 47259 Actually, I'd rather rob you blind, if you're really so rich. |
| 47260 Great! So anyway, there I was traveling through the Troll Hills, right? I come across this large cavern, warm steam coming out of it and the forbidding smell of brimstone and such... |
| 47261 A dragon, I think to myself. And being Wilfred the Red the great adventurer, I walk in and challenge the dread beast! |
| 47262 Thirty feet high he was, with a wingspan easily three times that! Red as blood and eviler than a cockatrice in Mirtul! |
| 47263 I slew the beast, naturally, after a valiant struggle. A few minor scorch marks were all I suffered for felling the beast, and its hoard was mine! More gold than you could possibly imagine! |
| 47264 Too bad I was by myself at the time. I could only gather as much gold as I could carry. Still, it was enough to make me plenty wealthy. Plus, it was a good deed, which is my forte. |
| 47265 That's very impressive. |
| 47266 You don't look like someone who could single-handedly slay a dragon! What's the real story here? |
| 47267 I'm wise enough to see right through your story, Wilfred. You're lying. |
| 47268 Well, perhaps you wouldn't mind if I relieved you of most of your wealth, then... ever been robbed? That'd be a good tale to tell your friends... |
| 47269 Well, I'll be on my way now. |
| 47270 Wh-what?! You... you can't do that! |
| 47271 Why not? If you killed a dragon, surely you can handle me. |
| 47272 Scared, are you? I knew your story was full of holes. What's the real deal with all your coin, anyway? |
| 47273 Not only can I, I'm going to! |
| 47274 I know, isn't it? But don't take my word about this place... talk to Mistress Jeanne and experience it for yourself. This is THE place to be if you've got coin to spare! Well, I've got to go. |
| 47275 N-no, no, I did! I did! I am the great warrior Wilfred the Red of Luskan! |
| 47276 Well, perhaps you'd like to have a duel. I'd be willing to match my skills against someone so powerful. |
| 47277 Really? Let's see how great you are! Put up your weapon, Wilfred, and prepare to die! |
| 47278 Right. I think I'll just help myself to your wealth myself. Ever been robbed before, Wilfred? |
| 47279 Fine, fine. If that's what you want to believe. I'll be on my way. |
| 47280 I... I... oh, all right. *sigh* |
| 47281 I was... traveling through the Troll Hills with my caravan, and I, uh, got separated from them when I responded to a, uh, call of nature... |
| 47282 I was lost, and when I thought I heard them close by, I ran to catch up. I, er, stumbled and fell into a cave of sorts. There was a dragon there... a small one... and he was, uh, sleeping. |
| 47283 So I... helped myself to some of its gold. And I, er, got out as quickly as I could. |
| 47284 Mistress Jeanne |
| 47285 Please don't tell anyone! I... I've got a reputation to uphold! I'll do anything! Oh, oh! Here... take this! Just... just don't tell anyone! Ooooh, I'm so embarrassed! |
| 47286 Mistress Jeanne |
| 47287 No, no violence! Please! I... I'm no great warrior! There! I admit it! Please don't hurt me! I... I... I'll tell you what really happened! |

| 47291 Oh, er, all right. Nice to, um, meet you... |
| 47292 Hello there again! Ahhh, I was just musing over my tale of heroism with the lovely Annalynn there. It's nice to be a hero, isn't it? |
| 47293 Just who are you again? |
| 47294 What tale of heroism are you talking about? |
| 47295 I'll be going. |
| 47296 Wilfred the Red |
| 47297 Hello there, my good <MANWOMAN>! Always a treat to meet a fellow adventurer. Anything I can do for you? |
| 47298 I was just thinking about your story... You couldn't possibly kill a dragon all by yourself. What's the real tale here? |
| 47299 I was just thinking about your story, and I'm wise enough to know when someone is lying. And you definitely are. |
| 47300 Wilfred the Red |
| 47301 You can empty your wealthy pockets, for one. Ever been robbed, Wilfred? |
| 47302 I was just thinking that, since you're such a great warrior, perhaps we should duel. That way I could learn from someone of such skill. |
| 47303 No, I don't think so. |
| 47304 Well, it was nice to see you again regardless, my good <MANWOMAN>. Feel free to stop by anytime... heh, this place is too good to just leave, you know. |

| 47347 Ahh, don't look at me like that or I'll gut ye where ye stand! |
| 47348 Greetings to you, patron. I am Mistress Jeanne, proprietor of this pleasure tent. If you are intent on hiring a companion and taking advantage of our services... you have come at a poor time. |
| 47349 The genies that have come to our poor town have deprived almost everyone of coin. I have had to send most of my girls away for lack of customers. |
| 47350 *sigh* Perhaps something will be done about those creatures soon. You would expect that the mayor, Lord Logan, would do something. |
| 47351 All we have left is this... this Wilfred fellow. He claims to have killed a dragon, which is far from likely. My girl tells me the man is built like a pair of twigs and couldn't lift a sword, never mind wield one. |
| 47352 But he has coin, at least, unlike every other soul in this town. And he has hired my last girl, Annalynn, for his exclusive use. Sorry to disappoint. |
| 47353 My last girl, Annalynn, has requested a break now that that Wilfred fellow is finally gone... I can't thank you enough, by the way... so I shall have to see if I can find a replacement or two. |
| 47354 Until those genies are gone, however, I'm not sure any of the girls will even want to come back. Ah well. The life of a madam, hm? |
| 47355 I understand that I have you to thank for the lack of the genie yoke upon this town. That is good. Already, I have had inquiries from customers who wish to return. |
| 47356 I shall have to contact my girls and see how many of them are willing to return. That Wilfred fellow... I don't know how poor Annalynn suffers the dolt... has hired my last girl exclusively. |
| 47357 But at least there is a chance now for my tent to return to its proper state of business. Thank you, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 47358 I shall have to contact my former girls and see if any will return. In Trademeet, you have to be fair, you know... poor Annalynn asked for time off after that Wilfred fellow finally left, and I granted it to her. |
| 47359 Hmph. Sorry, my <LADYLORD>... my time is currently purchased up by the boor who claims to have killed a dragon over there. All he does is tell me his stupid story over and OVER. *sigh* |
| 47360 Well, it's about time that moron finally left. He's given me such a headache all I want to do is sleep. I'm taking some time off of this racket. |
| 47361 Don't look at me like that. I want to work here. In Trademeet, all employees are treated fairly... That's Waukeen's rule: fair trade. It's good coin for an independent woman, you know. |
| 47362 Can't talk. Doin' my nails. |
| 47363 You know, that Wilfred guy wasn't all that bad. At least he tipped good when I pretended to be interested. I'm thinking of taking a vacation in Waterdeep, maybe. |
| 47364 Now that those genies are gone, I hear Mistress Jeanne is going to reopen the tent! Woo hoo, I'm first in line! |
| 47365 *sigh* I'd sell ye some of the goods from the caravan, but there be none to sell. The genies keep magicking Raafee into selling them everything we have. |
| 47366 Until those genies are gone, we merchants can't sell anything to the town... and the town's merchants won't have anything to sell anyone. An' now Raafee's broke. It's a terrible state. |
| 47367 Good news, my friend! The genies have been dealt with, I hear, and we've been able to reload on our supplies! If you wish to look at my goods, now would be the time... before I go into town, that is. |
| 47368 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 47369 No, thanks. |
| 47370 As you wish. Maybe I be a bit excited, is all, about having the caravan's business restored. Another time, perhaps. |
| 47371 Yes, yes! It is wonderful to have the caravan restored! Come... buy whatever you wish! And sell, by Waukeen, yes, sell! We'll take anything you have! |
| 47372 Well, it is a good thing those genies are gone now. As soon as the roads are made safe from the marauding animals, Raafee plans on resupplying the town in full. Here's to hopin', anyway. |
| 47373 Oh, lovely. Yet another member of the male species come t' drink himself into a stupor, no doubt, and vomit upon me perfectly clean floors. Hmph. What be it, exactly, that ye want? |
| 47374 Why is this place called the "Den of the Seven Vales"? |
| 47375 I'm not a "male"... I'm a <RACE>! |
| 47376 I'm not a "male"... I'm an <RACE>! |
| 47377 You must hear things... mind if I ask you a question or two? |
| 47378 I'd like to see your services. |
| 47379 Nothing. I'll be on my way. |
| 47380 Hullo, miss. It's about time some other women came into me inn. All I seem t' get lately are stupid males... loud, brash, and disgusting. Bah! What can I get for ye? |
| 47381 Sorry. I don't serve your kind here, drow. Get out. |
| 47382 I would be careful with that sharp tone, rivvil, lest you lose the tongue that shapes it. Fortunately, I've no particular need of your slophouse and its stench of sweat. |
| 47383 Why, exactly, is this place called the "Den of the Seven Vales"? |

| 47387 It served to draw ye in, didn't it? Now don't be botherin' me with useless questions. I'll only stand here so long and suffer yer stench, male. |
| 47388 I'm not a "male"... I'm a <RACE>! |
| 47389 I'm not a "male"... I'm an <RACE>! |
| 47390 You must hear things... mind if I ask you a question or two? |
| 47391 I'd like to see your services. |
| 47392 Fine, then I'll go. |
| 47393 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before. Human, elf, dwarf... ye're all the same. Walkin' about with a swagger like ye own the place and nary a brain to be found except what's 'twixt yer legs. |
| 47394 So does ye have an inclination to actually buy something, or was ye thinkin' instead of taking yer male attitude elsewhere? |
| 47395 Why is this place called the "Den of the Seven Vales"? |
| 47396 You must hear things... mind if I ask you a question or two? |
| 47397 Perhaps I did seek simpler things, but I meant no harm and thought I provided well enough. Please, I should go find my old home. Let us go. |
| 47398 I'd like to see your services. |
| 47399 Fine, I'll go. |
| 47400 I would not wish her inconvenience. She is a good woman, and I will do what I can. Perhaps I just wanted different things. Come, I must find my old home. |
| 47401 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard it all before. Just because ye're an elf, ye thinks all that prancin' around in the forest an' singings makes ye a better man? Well, I think ye're dirt. An' not in the good sense. |
| 47402 'Course I mind. Ye think I have nothing better to do? Ye want questions answered, go find some oracle or some such an' leave me be. |
| 47403 Why is this place called the "Den of the Seven Vales"? |
| 47404 I'd like to see your services. |
| 47405 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 47406 Fine. But I take yer coin up front. An' don't be wheedling me for a tab either, because I'll not be providing ye with one. |
| 47407 Right. Ye see these little tears wellin' up in me eyes? Them's for ye. |
| 47408 Well, the truth be told, me late husband... rest 'is soul... called the place the Seven Veils. He had them belly dancers workin' here back then, an' while I let them go, I didn't have the heart to change the name but a little. |
| 47409 The same drunken sods keep coming in here, though. 'Tis like they aren't even aware the belly dancers have left. Bah! I don't know how my poor Richard put up with their like! |
| 47410 You must hear things... mind if I ask you a question or two? |
| 47411 I'd like to see your services. |
| 47412 I'll be going, then. |
| 47413 I don't go listenin' much to gossip... though the men here yak more on other people's business than any women I've seen. But ye surely can ask, miss. |
| 47414 We are looking for a friend who has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Perhaps you've heard where they keep their prisoners? |
| 47415 Do you know anything of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 47416 Never mind... perhaps if I could just see your services instead? |
| 47417 No, I'll be on my way. |
| 47418 O' course. Haves yerself a seat if ye wish, miss, an' I'll be with ye anon. |
| 47419 Come again, as ye wish. |
| 47420 Pfeh! Nay, I don't listen to any hogwash about wizards and such. Any word that comes from the men here is only meanderings about things they don't understand, at any rate. |
| 47421 Do you know anything of the Shadow Thieves here in Athkatla? |
| 47422 Perhaps if I could just see your services, then? |
| 47423 I'll be on my way. |
| 47424 Hmph. I hear news that there be a war on, everywhere in the city. The Shadow Thieves have themselves a rival, although word about them is as farfetched as ye can imagine. |
| 47425 The guards of the city ignore it well enough for their own safety, an' if one's as smart as them, ye'd do the same. Involving yerself will only get ye killed, that's my thoughts. |
| 47426 We are looking for a friend who has been taken captive by the Cowled Wizards. Perhaps you've heard where they keep their prisoners? |
| 47427 Perhaps if I could just see your services, then? |

| 47429 Don't be stupid, <CHARNAME>; I'm in no mood for a fight. I'll give you some time to regain your senses. |
| 47430 Hah! If it daren't be a puny <RACE>, dressed up as a mighty adventurer, I'd say! Har har! Did yer mama let ye out from under her skirt, little one? Best ye be runnin' back now! |

| 47434 Papa! Papa! Smelly is threatening me again, he is! Threatening! |
| 47435 Calm yourself, Pooky. As for you, you barbarian knucklehead... threaten my familiar once again and you'll spend the rest of the evening as a toad, am I understood? |
| 47436 Whaaat?! You DARE besmirch the honor of Smaeluv Orcslicer?! I willâ€â€! |
| 47437 ENOUGH, blast it! I tire of yer bickering! Now... as for ye, little <RACE>... ye'd best take yerself somewhere where ye're more welcome. This bar be big enough only for us and nae more. |
| 47438 All right, I'm leaving... no need to get upset. |
| 47439 How about I buy you a drink? There's no need for us to be on harsh terms. |
| 47440 Watch it, dwarf. I'll not take your insults for long. |
| 47441 Hah! Off ye go then, cur! Hang yer tail 'twixt yer legs and scurry off like the cowardly dog that ye are! Har har! |
| 47442 Ye can take yer drink an' shove it where the sun won't be shining, ye blasted lily <RACE>! I'll nae associate with a quivering weakling in me own bar, so be off with ye! |
| 47443 Hah! You is so funny, Mencar! Smaeluv laughs heartily at your insulting manner! |
| 47444 Really, Mencar... is all this necessary? Must you agitate everyone who comes into this bar? |
| 47445 Blasted right I must! We be celebrating, Brennan, and I'll be damned if I'm going to drink while the odor of yon <RACE> offends me nostrils! Now be off, <RACE>, before ye has a taste of me axe! |
| 47446 Fine... I'll leave you and your group alone. |
| 47447 That's it! I'm not going to take your insults anymore, dwarf! |
| 47448 Ye'll take whate'er I have to give ye! Come, my friends... let's teach the whelp what it be to cross Mencar and his band, eh! Have at ye! |
| 47449 Har! If it isn't the mighty Korgan, as brash as ye please! Ye've a mighty gall, Bloodaxe, to walk in the open with yer chin high! |
| 47450 Hah! If it isn't me old friend, Mencar Pebblecrusher. I'll walk where I like, ye stunted excuse fer a dwarf. An' there be nae a thing ye can do about it. |
| 47451 Of all the bloody insults hurled at me, this be the blackest! Ye're a traitorous, backstabbing liar, Korgan... after a double-cross like yours, I be surprised ye've nae fled for the hills! |
| 47452 Whaaat?! THIS be the Korgan you speak of, Mencar?! Smaeluv will ring down righteous blows upon this dwarf for his foulness! |
| 47453 oooOOOps! Smelly's getting mad, Papa! Smelly's getting mad! |
| 47454 Amon! Ye tell yer stinkin', fart-smellin' imp to stop calling me Smelly! The name be Smaeluv Orcslicer! If he does say it again, I'll smash him into impish goo! |
| 47455 Calm yourself, Pooky. As for you, you barbarian knucklehead... threaten my familiar once again and you'll spend the rest of the evening as a toad, am I understood? |
| 47456 You DARE besmirch the honor of Smaeluv Orcslicer, mage! Smaeluv will crush yourâ€â€! |
| 47457 ENOUGH, blast it! Korgan... ye either coughs up the gold I be owed, or there'll be blood between us! Decide and decide quickly! |
| 47458 There be nothing to decide, Mencar! I've nae to fear of yer yellowed belly! Come an' be cleaved in two, if ye've the courage! |
| 47459 So be it! Come, friends! Let us teach this cur the meaning of true honor! |
| 47460 Papa! Papa! Smelly be threatening me again! Threatening! |
| 47461 I told ye to begone, cur, an' not to be bothering me again! Unless ye've courage enough to raise yer hand, ye'd best do as I say and flee while ye can! |
| 47462 All right, all right, I'm going. |
| 47463 I'm not going to take this, dwarf! |
| 47464 Then go, blast it! I'll nae warn ye again! |
| 47465 Sanik |
| 47466 Sanik |
| 47467 That's it! That's it! I've warned ye and yer friends nae to be coming into this place and disturbing me with yer stench, but ye've ignored a fair warning! Now ye die! |
| 47468 You'd best be on your way, as Mencar suggests. I am Sorcerous Amon of the Purple Brotherhood, and I stand behind my dwarven comrade... and I am not to be treated lightly. |

| 47478 What?! What did you steal from Smaeluv, devilish imp?! |
| 47479 Pirate |
| 47480 Begone! *hic* Smaeluv Orcslicer be gorging himself mightily on mead and ale and cannot be bothered by talk! *hic* |
| 47481 *sigh* I would apologize for my comrades... but they represent a great profit for me and my thiefly abilities. It would be better if you left, I suppose... Mencar is always serious with his threats. |
| 47482 That's it. I'm not dying for your simple stupidity, Mencar. Brennan Risling has better things to do than court your arrogant pride... |

| 47517 Free Rielev from his life support Rielev has been released from his overlong life. I took the crystal that apparently powered the device that he floated in, but not before he said that it might be used to activate other servants in similar devices. |
| 47518 Find a way to release Minsc from his cell Minsc has freed himself with his anger-heightened strength, bursting from his cage. Obviously, our captor underestimated the wrath of a man and his hamster. |

| 47532 Free Hendak and the slaves I have dealt a blow to the slave trade in Athkatla, freeing both Hendak and the other gladiators from their prison in the Copper Coronet, as well as the slave children in the slaver compound in the slums. No more gladiators will be purchased for the Copper Coronet now that Lehtinan is dead and Hendak is in charge. |
| 47533 Dead! Die, you beast! I will clear this place of any taint you left behind! ...I will... I will... |

| 47536 Solve the riddle in the sewers I have solved Quallo's riddle in the sewers and received a strange sword which seems to have been trapped magically here for quite some time. |
| 47537 Collect the fee for Gaelan Bayle I have given Gaelan Bayle the gold he asked for, and in return he has given me a key which will admit me to see the head of the Athkatlan Shadow Thieves. I am to go to the thieves' guild, it seems, and use the key on a secret entrance which is immediately to the right as I enter. |
| 47538 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery Mae'Var has been killed as Renal Bloodscalp wished. Chalk one up for the integrity of the Shadow Thieves, I suppose. |

| 47540 Sorry to have bothered you. I'll be leaving now. |
| 47541 I've coin in my purse and a will to spend it. Are you going to turn me away? |
| 47542 Not at all, not at all. There may be unfriendly faces around, but a paying customer is always welcome here. |
| 47543 Step lively then. I've no interest in dawdling with you. |
| 47544 You looking for a place to stay, or are you just taking up space? I'm a busy man, you know. |
| 47545 Find proof of Mae'Var's treachery I have killed Mae'Var, although I did it without the evidence that Renal needed and without his approval. Even though I got the job done, Renal was not pleased with my performance. |
| 47546 Sorry for bothering you. I'll be leaving. |
| 47547 I'm not here to waste your time. Let me see your services. |
| 47548 Right you are. Forgive my rudeness, but I usually have to give dawdlers the rush out of here. |
| 47550 Fresh customers? Good and good. The locals have seen my wares thrice over and are mighty shy with their coin. |
| 47551 As am I. I'll pass for now. Good day. |
| 47552 I'm willing to spend. Let's see what you have. |
| 47553 Bah, come back when you won't waste my time. |
| 47554 You again? Have you coin to spend, or are you just loitering? |

| 47704 Help Vittorio collect his debt A drunken man by the name of Vittorio had asked me to assist him in recovering a debt from a Captain Dennis... who, it appears, was owed much by Vittorio himself. Regardless, Captain Dennis and his men ended up dead in the inn for all their bluster, and the drunken lout beat a hasty retreat. |
| 47705 Put the spirit of the child Wellyn to rest I restored a toy bear to the spirit of a murdered halfling child named Wellyn, who I presume has returned to his final rest. Hopefully, the boy will remain at peace. |
| 47706 Found your way into the secret of places? What should we do with you? |
| 47707 Found your way to this place, did you? What, I wonder, drove you here? |
| 47708 Found your way to this place, did you? What, I wonder, drove you here? |
| 47709 Found your way to this place, did you? What, I wonder, drove you here? |
| 47710 Locate a caretaker for the orphan Risa I managed to bring together two people whom I met in the Graveyard District... a paladin named Kamir whose son had died and a little girl named Risa whose parents had died. The paladin agreed to raise the girl, and they left together. |
| 47711 Wandering to the edges of madness, did you expect to find sense and reason? |
| 47712 Investigate and destroy the cult of the eyeless I completed the task for the church and found the source of the cult of this Unseeing Eye. The cult was run by a blind beholder, yet the creature was still immensely powerful, and I was lucky to be able to destroy it. The entire cult has been routed as a result of the beholder's death. |
| 47713 None in this place, no matter how thorough the searching. |
| 47714 To even suggest such a thing from the departed and deranged... |
| 47715 Aye, it suggests imbalance even in the asking. |
| 47716 No sense to be had. Let us see how far into the strangeness you can stride. Answer me this, and decide where you end. |
| 47717 Then what is the proper fate? |
| 47718 Answer nonsense with nonsense. Let a backstep of logic move them forward. |
| 47719 It does, though not enough. One last wordplay to see if you think as we. Then you shall get what you could not have had. |
| 47720 It is better than the best of things and worse than the worst of things. You love it more than life. You fear it more than death. The rich have need of it, and the poor have it in endless supply. |
| 47721 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple I managed to secure the services of the artist, Sir Sarles, for the church... although it was certainly not easy. He had demanded to use pure illithium, which I had to obtain from a murderous gnome named Neb. Still, the task is done. |
| 47722 There is a single word written in blood on the altar: SACRIFICE. Most likely the altar is a place where trolls sacrifice to their gods in an effort to receive blessings of some sort. |
| 47723 Gain the services of Sir Sarles for the temple The illithium alloy that Jerlia created did not fool Sir Sarles. Luckily, however, the head of the temple mistook the amorphous lump of metal as an actual piece of sculpture and was impressed by it, and the cleric who asked me to perform the service was too embarrassed to tell his superior otherwise. Everything turned out well. |
| 47724 When the head is placed on the altar, the room rumbles and the head disappears. A gruff voice speaks a word in a guttural language, and an item appears on the altar. |
| 47725 Seek out and investigate the Fallen Paladins I have killed the rogue paladin, Anarg, and dispersed the group of Fallen Paladins for Sir Ryan Trawl, the leader of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. My good reputation has increased, along with a significant amount of Sir Ryan's goodwill. |
| 47726 Another mission for the temple As charged, I have retrieved the ring that was stolen from the temple of Lathander from the fence, Borinall, and returned the item to its rightful owners. |
| 47727 Life. |
| 47728 Good intentions. |
| 47729 Nothing. |
| 47730 Breath. |
| 47731 Gold. |
| 47732 Faith. |
| 47733 Respect. |
| 47734 Something. |
| 47735 Another mission for the temple I have retrieved the Dawn Ring from Borinall and brought it to its rightful place in the temple of Talos... my superiors were very pleased with my actions. |
| 47736 Help Korgan recover the Book of Kaza The book has been recovered from Korgan's old party members, Shagbag and company (all of whom are now dead). Of course, there is no one to give it to now, so any gold from its sale is ours. |
| 47737 Help Korgan recover the Book of Kaza Korgan's ex-party members (Shagbag and company) have escaped with the book in their possession. Korgan offhandedly avowed that they would pay for it later. |
| 47738 Giddy I am with the clarity of your perception, but free you are not. Have my fellows questions for this young mad<MANWOMAN>? |
| 47739 A failure in your fathoming of the task at hand. The question is done, as are your wanderings in the secret places. |
| 47740 Find the Nether Scroll for Edwin We have found the Nether Scroll. Edwin intends to study it thoroughly. |
| 47741 Back, back to the path through hardship and pain. No extras for the wandering mad. |
| 47742 Edwin is being hunted by the Red Wizards? A Red Wizard by the name of Degardan managed to turn Edwin back into a man... which should forestall his complaints at least temporarily. Edwin turned on the mage, naturally, as soon as he was exposed. Why the Red Wizards are hunting Edwin remains a mystery. |
| 47744 That is more than certain. Another path of words to wander through and seek and end. |
| 47745 It runs as it will, but never does it walk. There is a mouth to see, but never does it talk. A bed it surely owns, but never does it sleep. Possesses it a head, but not a one that weeps. |

| 47756 An answer that moves you forward, though only if you know where you began. Answer another from my kind to progress. |
| 47757 A failure. Unfortunate, though the loss is hard to measure when you do not know your starting point. |
| 47758 And know that though there is no sense, progression is measured by a scale unknown. Move on, move on. |
| 47759 Rescue Haer'Dalis and his gem from Mekrath I have returned the gem to Raelis Shai, the mistress of the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons Inn and companion to Haer'Dalis, the bard I rescued from the enforced servitude of the wizard Mekrath. |
| 47760 I make you weak at the worst of all times, but in the end, I keep you safe. You'll sweat in my presence even as you grow cold. I dwell with the weak, rarely the brave, but without me, who could tell the difference? |
| 47761 Rescue Raelis and Haer'Dalis from the planar prison Although it was not a simple matter, Raelis and her troupe have been freed from the extraplanar prison that they were brought to. Raelis and her troupe fled the place, but she had magic enough to open another conduit and return us home. |
| 47762 The machine has six levers arrayed on a console. They are ruby, jade, mithral, onyx, emerald, and sandalwood. The machine can only be activated by pulling all six levers in the proper ranking. |
| 47763 Which lever would you like to pull first? |
| 47764 Pull the ruby lever. |
| 47765 Pull the jade lever. |
| 47766 Pull the mithral lever. |
| 47767 You pull the mithral lever, and the machine begins to hum. Which lever will you pull next? |
| 47768 Pull the onyx lever. |
| 47769 Pull the emerald lever. |
| 47770 Pull the sandalwood lever. |
| 47771 Faith. |
| 47772 Good will. |

| 47779 Helping Irenicus's captive dryads I have returned their acorns to the Fairy Queen, Vaelasa, and the dryads captive in Irenicus's dungeon have been freed. All have left to plant the acorns and allow their trees to grow once again, and Vaelasa herself expressed both her welcome and gratitude for my deed. |
| 47780 Energy shoots from the machine, and you jump back. It appears as if you have the levers ranked incorrectly. All of the levers return to their original positions. You shall have to begin again. |
| 47781 A success that moves you towards goals you cannot know. Does it satisfy? Who can say? |
| 47782 A failing of your mind to comprehend what it was not supposed to. Unfortunate, though you lose nothing you should have had. |
| 47783 Aran's tasks to receive the Shadow Thieves' aid It seems the gold I paid Gaelan got an audience with Aran Linvail, but not necessarily his immediate aid. Aran requires me to perform a few services for him to ease the damage that the guild war has caused. Unless these tasks are done, the Shadow Thieves will be in no shape to help me. The first mission is to bolster the guard on a warehouse belonging to the Shadow Thieves. Aran is sure it will be attacked, so I am to go to the docks in this district at night and look for Mook. Mook will direct me further, and once we are through, I am to report any occurrences to Aran. I may find the chore tedious, but he has eased my mind with a few magical items. His word is at least good for that. |
| 47784 Unfortunate, in the least. Still, you have gained what you could not. Onward, to see if you will be rewarded for your guile. |
| 47785 Back to where you would have been had you not slipped into the secrets. Back, and yet forward. Such is madness. |
| 47786 It brings back the lost as though never gone, shines laughter or tears with light long since shone. A moment to make, a lifetime to shed, valued when, but lost when you're dead. |
| 47787 Pictures. |

| 47795 Stop using the machine and read the book for clues. |
| 47796 You step back from the machine, and all of the levers return to their original position. You shall have to restart the process on your next attempt. |
| 47797 Your thoughts are clear and flowing, and free you are from here. Onward, to places secret and rewarding. |
| 47798 Oh, I fear you have fallen at the feet of your task. Here is the end of what was asked. |
| 47799 Yes, onward, and leave this festive place. You will see the unknown, and if willing, receive its gifts. |
| 47800 That makes very little sense at all. |
| 47801 Then it is more than I would have hoped from a room of the maddened dead. |
| 47802 Back then, but still further than you would have come. Not the best outcome, but not the worst. |
| 47803 That makes no sense to the right-thinking person. |
| 47804 What more would you ask of the maddened dead? It will suffice. |
| 47805 Aran's tasks to receive the Shadow Thieves' aid I found Mook at the docks, who reported to me seeing a man pass by several times, casing the place. When he appeared again, she challenged him... and he killed her. We defeated the man... or whatever he is... and he turned into mist before our eyes, cursing us as he fled. No doubt that this would classify as an "occurrence" that Aran might wish to know about in the morning. |
| 47806 Aran's tasks to receive the Shadow Thieves' aid I informed Aran Linvail of the events on the docks, and he is even more concerned than before. His next task for me is to go to the top floor of the Five Flagons Inn in the Bridge District... There, I will find two Shadow Thieves named Jaylos and Caehan who plan to defect to the rival guild. Perhaps I can pretend to be another recruit, just as they are. If all goes as planned, I might even fool their contact as well. Hopefully, I will get the location of the rival guild's headquarters and then Aran can stop them from disrupting his people. Then we can get to the business of finding Imoen. He seems sincere in this. |
| 47807 Pull the ruby lever. |
| 47808 Pull the jade lever. |
| 47809 Pull the onyx lever. |
| 47810 Pull the emerald lever. |
| 47811 Pull the sandalwood lever. |
| 47812 Stop using the machine. |
| 47813 You pull the ruby lever, and the machine lights up. Which lever will your pull third? |
| 47814 Here begins the tests of madness, of sanity and clarity. Presented with nonsense, how will you proceed? |
| 47815 Pull the jade lever. |
| 47816 Pull the jade lever. |
| 47817 Pull the onyx lever. |
| 47818 Pull the emerald lever. |
| 47819 Pull the sandalwood lever. |
| 47820 Stop using the machine. |
| 47821 You pull the emerald lever, and you can hear gears grinding within the machine. Which lever shall you pull fourth? |
| 47822 Pull the jade lever. |
| 47823 Pull the onyx lever. |
| 47824 Pull the sandalwood lever. |
| 47825 Stop using the machine. |
| 47826 You pull the sandalwood lever, and the machine grows louder and begins to release steam. Which lever will you pull fifth? |
| 47827 Pull the jade lever. |
| 47828 Pull the onyx lever. |
| 47829 Stop using the machine. |
| 47830 You pull the jade lever, and the machine begins to shake and groan. A chute pops open, and the sound of whirring can be heard within. |
| 47831 Aran's tasks to receive the Shadow Thieves' aid The defectors from the Shadow Thieves have been killed, and the contact who had come to collect them attacked me. I discovered that the rival guild is based in the Graveyard District, but little else. Hopefully, this is all the information that Aran Linvail requires. |
| 47832 Pull the onyx lever. |
| 47833 The contact and your thieves are dead. A letter spoke of the Graveyard District. |
| 47834 You wish to test me? But this place is derelict. The directors are dead. |
| 47835 Entangled |
| 47836 What is going on here? I demand to know! |
| 47837 Aran's tasks to receive the Shadow Thieves' aid While my information was of use to Aran, it appears he had a few other sources as well. The rival guild's leader, named Bodhi, is most certainly a vampire... and my investigation has confirmed that she and her undead minions can be found in the network of tombs beneath the Graveyard District. I am to go to these tombs and destroy Bodhi and her guild. I am to receive assistance from a mage and his golem, who will open an unmovable set of blue doors that are just north of a nest of spiders in the underground tomb. The final assault on these vampires will occur there, and Aran has given me four wooden stakes with which to put these vampires to their final rest. |
| 47838 Aran's tasks to receive the Shadow Thieves' aid I have defeated the rival guild, full of vampires as it was, and have faced Bodhi. She claimed to know something of Imoen and seemed to be judging me in some manner before she left in gaseous form. All that remains now is to return to Aran and tell him that the guild is gone, even if their leader remains unkilled. I will have questions for him as well. One more troubling thing... Bodhi knew. She knew I am a child of Bhaal. |
| 47839 Aran's tasks to receive the Shadow Thieves' aid I have completed the tasks Aran Linvail set out for me, and at last the location of Imoen has been revealed. This did not come, mind you, without some revelations. The Shadow Thieves have been interested in me from the beginning. They were aware of my capture, but thought it nothing more than a simple kidnapping and none of their business. However, soon after that, Bodhi appeared and their members started disappearing. They thought another guild was converting them, making a bid for control of the city's underground, and directed an attack against what they thought was the guild headquarters, Irenicus's dungeon below Waukeen's. They were totally unprepared for how strong Irenicus was. After the battle, they set their sights on me because I was the only thing that came out of that dungeon alive. Since I was of such interest to Irenicus, they needed to know what I was up to. Once they realized that Irenicus was a threat to us both, they sought to aid me, while also aiding themselves. Their intentions were good, despite their selfish motive. They believe that Irenicus is still very much a threat. Both Irenicus and Imoen have been taken to an island asylum called Spellhold where mages are imprisoned and studied. And yet it sounds doubtful that Irenicus has been so easily overcome. Bodhi and her rival guild are tied to him in some manner... and his purpose in studying both myself and Imoen is still unknown. Imoen still remains in that place, however. The Shadow Thieves have arranged a ship to take me to the isle at no small expense, hoping in that retrieving Imoen I might rid them of their other problem as well. Whatever happens, I am sure my biggest challenge yet awaits me on this isle. |
| 47840 The procedures laid down proceed regardless of time or circumstance. Such is the nature of this place. Protests are futile. |
| 47841 This area works on its own, allowing the directors to watch in safety. You are here, and there is no other way out. Comply or die. You are sane enough to understand that. |
| 47842 Now, when madness beckoned, how did you answer? Now comes the judgment, when we decide your fitness for life outside. |
| 47843 Then ask away, and I shall pass. I will not resist if it speeds the process. |
| 47844 Very well, do as you must, specter. I will not protest if it is pointless. |
| 47845 I refuse! This is pointless! Your purpose has long since expired! |
| 47846 I will battle you to the last! |
| 47847 Very good. Restraint is a good sign. Perhaps you are closer to release than I thought. We shall see. |
| 47848 Bring the poisoned man to his friends I have stumbled across a poisoned man by the name of Renfeld, whom I have agreed to take to friends who are not far. There is a building in the southwest part of the Docks District with a man in front of it by the name of Rylock, who will tend to him. |
| 47849 Unfortunate that you insist on being difficult. There is no recourse. I am quite beyond your threats, and if you refuse the tasks, you will languish here. |
| 47850 I will arrange suitable punishment for your outburst. You will find that such obstinance is painful and that your path becomes more difficult. |
| 47851 Bring the poisoned man to his friends I found Rylock, even though it was too late. Renfeld was already dead. Rylock was grateful nonetheless and gave me a small reward before disappearing into the building with Renfeld's body. |
| 47852 Now comes a test of sense. A test... to see if madness... pollutes... |
| 47853 'Twas in the wood that I got it, so I sat me down to seek it. I could not find it no matter how hard I looked, and so I took it home with me. What is it? |
| 47854 Bring the poisoned man to his friends The poisoned man, Renfeld, has been turned over to Rylock, who was quite happy to see his friend. |
| 47855 What is this? I do not understand your question. |
| 47856 Do not taunt me with nonsense! I will answer such insults with violence! |
| 47857 A willow? |
| 47858 A wood nymph? |
| 47859 The earth? |
| 47860 A splinter? |
| 47861 A hawk? |
| 47862 Find out what happened to Montaron I've run into none other than Xzar, who tells me that not only is the place I just delivered the poisoned man to a Harper stronghold, but that his companion Montaron sneaked in several days before and has not come out. I have agreed to approach these Harpers and see if I can find out what has become of the annoying halfling thief. |
| 47863 Find out what happened to Montaron In return for allowing me within their base, I am required to perform a small task for the Harpers. There is a small house in the center of the district, the home of a mage named Prebek. Within are supposed to be creatures of some kind... the result of someone's experiments. I am to kill these creatures and return. |
| 47864 Find out what happened to Montaron I have been admitted to the Harper base... but Rylock warns me I must keep to the first floor. If I go to the second floor, I will be killed, and he implied that not even the Harpers could stop that from happening. |
| 47865 The sun? |
| 47866 Find out what happened to Montaron In conversation with the Harpers, it was mentioned that the second floor is protected by guardians of some nature... who would not recognize me as a Harper and were very dangerous. |
| 47867 Then you are right not to answer. It was but a sprig of madness, a lapse of reason. I will ask a proper question of you. |
| 47868 Hostility is dangerous in the face of the confused or irrational. You will receive a proper response, and your path grows harder. |
| 47869 You have answered madness with inaccuracy, a dangerous thing to do. If you do not understand the ravings, best that you ignore them. |
| 47870 But then, you are likely deranged yourself. I will adjust my perceptions accordingly. Now, to punishment. The path grows more difficult. |
| 47871 Clarity! You see through a muttering to pull the single piece of intelligence within... a sign of sanity? Or of understanding madness? More questions amidst the secret places! |
| 47872 Perth the Adept |
| 47873 Find out what happened to Montaron The guardians on the second floor do not seem to attack those who are wearing the Harper pins. I asked about Montaron, but all I got as a response was that "those who defile Harper soil are forbidden to touch it. They are above the soil, that they might see it and know loss." ...whatever that means. |
| 47874 Find out what happened to Montaron The guile of the Harpers has lived up to their reputation. Xzar and I were tricked into believing that the bird I retrieved from the Harper base would be Montaron. It was actually a Harper assassin. Xzar's Zhentish background made him a target, and I have been led the entire way, a dupe. I don't know what actually became of Montaron, although it seems likely that the evil thief is dead. |
| 47875 When you look to the ground, what do you see? |
| 47876 Now comes a test of sense. A test... to see if madness... pollutes... |
| 47877 'Twas in the wood that I got it, so I sat me down to seek it. I could not find it no matter how hard I looked, and so I took it home with me. What is it? |
| 47878 What is this? I do not understand your question. |

| 47882 The earth? |
| 47883 A splinter? |
| 47884 A hawk? |
| 47885 The sun? |
| 47886 Then you are right not to answer. It was but a sprig of madness, a lapse of reason. I will ask a proper question of you. |
| 47887 Hostility is dangerous in the face of the confused or irrational. You will receive a proper response, and your path grows harder. |

| 47890 Clarity! You see through a muttering to pull the single piece of intelligence within... a sign of sanity? Or of understanding madness? More questions amidst the secret places! |
| 47891 What springs from this muck to your mind? |
| 47892 Here, among the filth and bile of the mire where your hostility and foolishness has lead you, what do you see? |
| 47893 I refuse to answer your questions. You have no business knowing my mind. |
| 47894 I see the fertile earth that deserves respect. From this all else springs. |
| 47895 Perth the Adept |
| 47896 I get my food from the market. I have nothing to take from this place. |
| 47897 Anyone could take what they wished from here. Better it were fenced in. |
| 47898 I refuse to answer your questions. You have no business knowing my mind. |
| 47899 A primitive place, of no use to me. I would spend no more time here than I must. |
| 47900 The land around this place would be fertile. It is not to be discounted. |
| 47901 It smells. What else would you have me make note of? |
| 47902 A useless mire. Fill it in that it might be better appreciated. |
| 47903 Here, among the fertile ground that produces the food that sustains you, what are your thoughts? |
| 47904 Turnips! |
| 47905 What? |
| 47906 Turnips! I see fine soil that could keep a man in tubers for life. Of course, I guess it's more for <CHARNAME> to say. |
| 47907 One voice is as good as another when searching for clarity. You speak from the soul. Your path is made easier. Proceed. |
| 47908 If I might, it is the most basic of land. |
| 47909 Is it? |
| 47910 Within are stagnant smells and shades, but all around would bloom. A mire is useful in the proper place. <CHARNAME> would voice this better, I am sure. |
| 47911 Your voice does well enough. Wisdom and clarity speak well of sanity. Your path is somewhat easier now. Proceed. |
| 47912 I offer civilized discourse, and you counter with obstinance. Unfortunate. Your path is the hard one. |
| 47913 I offer civilized discourse, and you counter with obstinance. Unfortunate. Your path is the hard one. |
| 47914 Constrained, controlled, and combative. Perhaps a bit paranoid. Not good. You are not acting receptively. The path grows harder. I wouldn't want to encourage this behavior. |
| 47915 I am not familiar with farming. I would need help judging it. |
| 47916 Open to new ideas while acknowledging failings. A good sign. Perhaps you are not lost after all. We shall see. The path is a little easier. |
| 47917 Perhaps a bit too much praise, but the thought is peaceful and appealing. You show the proper reverence. The path shall be easier. |
| 47918 And if the market were to close? You show an unwillingness to change. Not good. The path will be a little harder. |
| 47919 Far too dismissive. You show inflexibility. Not desirable. The path will be harder still. |
| 47920 You see a wider part of the picture. Such focus is good. Perhaps you are not lost after all. The path grows easier. |
| 47921 Nothing more than you would see. Such a narrow view is not good. You could be prone to fixation. The path grows harder. |
| 47922 Dismissive, but proactive. I will allow the answer, though my judgment is subjective. The path is a little easier. |
| 47923 A simple task. You are quick of foot and respond well. I applaud, though my approval means little. |
| 47924 Tell me, were you fearful of the trap? Did you hesitate? My queries are to clarify your state of mind. Answer true and clear. |
| 47925 Are you mad, specter? That trap was vicious! By what right did you endanger me? |
| 47926 I was fearful, but not to the point of faltering. I had to proceed, as you have said. |
| 47927 Why don't you wander through it yourself and see how fearful it is? |
| 47928 An interesting contraption. Would that I had more time to study it. |
| 47929 And now comes judgment. Have your thoughts been focused by your ordeal? Have you gained clarity? |
| 47930 Who can say? It has been quite some time since the process has been refined. Really, I do not think you were intended to survive. |
| 47931 But I will fulfill my purpose as best I can and use your own words to judge your fate. |
| 47932 Your will is satisfactory. You have passed what tests I had to offer. This session is now done. You are free. |
| 47933 You have failed to measure up to the standards I have applied. A final test then, to determine your worth. |
| 47934 Defeat a creature of mind, the embodiment of control over the mental. Do this, and you shall perhaps see the light of day. |
| 47935 This is all I am capable of judging. You are free of this place, having conquered the madness of it. Go. |
| 47936 This place is a momentary relapse. It has little to do with the testing. That you found your way here at all is interesting. |
| 47937 We shall see how this affects your final evaluation. You are to proceed to judgment when ready. |
| 47938 Your demands are unproductive. I must ask that you respond in a helpful manner while you are evaluated. |
| 47939 You have no more choice than I. The spells that guide me have been in place for years. If you have issue with them, you should take it up with the builder. |
| 47940 In the meantime, your path is harder. |
| 47941 You display acceptance of circumstance and have dealt with it as best you could. A good sign, as far as I am capable of judging. |
| 47942 The path becomes smoother to reflect your state. Smooth, but not without all danger. |
| 47943 The desolation of this place reflects the choices you have made. Tell me, what thoughts have you on this barren landscape? |
| 47944 I refuse to speak to you anymore. You are little more than a mindless golem. |
| 47945 It is wasted as it is. Would that it had the fertile nature of the previous room. |
| 47946 I shall raze the entire building to this condition. |
| 47947 I have no insight as to why it is like this. Should I worry over what I cannot help? |
| 47948 That may well be, but I must still fulfill the duty that I am assigned. Were I living and breathing, your fate would be the same. The path gets harder still. |
| 47949 A naive view, but a hopeful one. Had I a soul, I am sure I would be moved. So be it; I will take this as a good sign, though I find your mind to be more complicated than these simple tests illustrate. |
| 47950 The path is made easier, though not totally without hazard. |
| 47951 Unproductive. You are not responding to these evaluations well at all. Would that I had a director here to study you properly. |
| 47952 As it stands, I can only discourage the thoughts. The path gets harder. |
| 47953 I suppose this view is unavoidable, since I reinforce it by subjecting you to the tests in the first. |
| 47954 Very well. This acceptance shall be taken as a good sign. The path is made easier. |
| 47955 I have no test to give you in this place. That you are here at all is problematic, though it does show some measure of ingenuity on your part. |
| 47956 Indicate when you are finished. Since I have no idea how you should be tested here, I leave it to you to decide when you should leave. After this comes judgment. |
| 47957 I am ready to leave. |
| 47958 I am not ready to leave just yet. |
| 47959 Then we shall proceed to your evaluation. |
| 47960 As you would. |
| 47961 Are you through just yet? We must proceed to judgment. |
| 47962 I am ready to leave. |
| 47963 I am not ready to leave. |
| 47964 You have passed though all that was set before you. Judgment comes next, though you have proven more sophisticated than the tests. |
| 47965 I question whether these trials were meant to be survived, though I can still only act as directed. It makes me question the minds of the builders. |
| 47966 I wonder how they would have fared in their own evaluations. Ahh, but my musings are pointless. I can only judge and move on. |
| 47967 Amongst the strangest of environments, you appear quite sane. I begin to question the point of the tasks. |
| 47968 I can only do as directed, and you shall be judged accordingly, but I begin to wonder how the builders would fare in their own evaluations. |
| 47969 There is no point to my musings; I can act only as directed. Should the directors return, I will have words for them. For now, judgment. |
| 47970 Save Jaheira from Baron Ployer's curse We have run into an old "friend" of Jaheira's... a man named Baron Ployer who was a slaver that Jaheira ruined in the course of her Harper activities. The man has obviously been plotting his revenge, as he has created some manner of curse which he has laid on Jaheira... and which he claims will kill her. |
| 47971 Save Jaheira from Baron Ployer's curse Jaheira has already begun to weaken from this curse of the baron's. She suggested three possible courses: First, that we might find the baron in the poorest section of the city (namely the slums), as he is now living in squalor. Second, that the mages who cast the spell upon her might be identified by asking around at the government building in the Government District. Third, that the bartender Bernard at the Copper Coronet in the Slums District might know something about Belgrade, a friend of hers that the baron mentioned. |
| 47972 Save Jaheira from Baron Ployer's curse One of Jaheira's old enemies managed to place a curse on her that I just don't have the time to track down a cure for. I let her leave the party so that she might find a cure on her own. She was not pleased, to say the least. |
| 47977 Stop using the machine. |
| 47978 You pull the onyx lever, and a pair of bracers drop down the chute. A small explosion rocks the machine, and the entire device grinds to a halt. It lets out one last chug of smoke and is silent. |
| 47979 This machine has given its last magic item. There is nothing else that you can do with it. |
| 47980 Summoned to the Harper Hold I have found Jaheira once again at the Harper Hold in Athkatla, and she has rejoined the party so that we may go together to present ourselves before the Harpers... for what reason, I still do not know. |
| 47981 Summoned to the Harper Hold I presented myself before the Harpers at their base and discovered that I was there only to bolster the ambitions of a man by the name of Galvarey. Imprisoning the "child of Bhaal" to restore the balance, as he claimed, would improve his position amongst the Harpers and bolster his chance of obtaining the position of Herald. Jaheira had apparently brought me there to show Galvarey my true nature, but the decision had obviously already been made. Jaheira fought with me against the Harpers, disgusted by their treatment of me and becoming a traitor to her own kind... and now Galvarey is dead, his petty ambitions along with him. |
| 47982 Summoned to the Harper Hold I presented myself before the Harpers at their base and discovered that I was there only to bolster the ambitions of a man by the name of Galvarey. Imprisoning the "child of Bhaal" to restore the balance, as he claimed, would improve his position amongst the Harpers and bolster his chance of obtaining the position of Herald. Jaheira had apparently brought me there to show Galvarey my true nature, but the decision had obviously already been made. She was upset, but could not take arms against her own kind. She fled as I fought against Galvarey and his fellow Harpers. I won... but Jaheira is now gone. |
| 47983 Jaheira renounces her Harper status We have met with yet another Harper... this one, apparently, a former tutor of Jaheira's by the name of Dermin. He told Jaheira that he was sent to execute her for the deaths at the Harper Hold, and while he did not attack, Jaheira renounced her life as a Harper in anger over the injustice. |
| 47984 Jaheira renounces her Harper status We have met with yet another Harper... this one, apparently, a former tutor of Jaheira's by the name of Dermin. He told Jaheira that he was sent to execute her for the deaths at the Harper Hold, and while he did not attack, Jaheira renounced her life as a Harper in anger over the injustice of it all. She was so wrapped up in the gravity of her decision that she blew up when I urged us to continue on and left for good. Perhaps just as well, considering all the trouble she brought me. |
| 47985 The return to Harper Hold A strange man showed up and handed me a note from Jaheira, indicating that it was quite important. On reading, I discovered that Jaheira has left for Harper Hold in Athkatla on her own, deciding to spare me the revenge of the Harpers, and has forbidden me from following her. |
| 47986 The Harper plot revealed The plot with the Harpers has finally come clear... Galvarey was not a true Harper at all, simply an opportunist who used his position to gain power. Jaheira's former mentor was one of his compatriots, and both were counting on the fact that my own status as a child of Bhaal would make any accusations made against me believable. One must wonder if the rest of the Harpers will continue their vendetta against Jaheira and me. |
| 47987 Free Jan Jansen from prison Well, Jan Jansen's fine has been paid to the jailkeep... who was eager enough to see the garrulous gnome leave that he lent me 200 gp. He does expect to be paid back, though. I suppose the only thing to do now is to tell Jan he's free. |
| 47988 Free Jan Jansen from prison The jailkeep who lent me the 200 gp toward Jan's fine has been paid back. |
| 47989 Free Jan Jansen from prison Jan, the gnome with a quick hand and a quicker mouth, has been freed from prison and become part of my party. |
| 47990 Free Jan Jansen from prison Jan, the gnomish peddler with the large mouth, has been freed from prison and gone back to his home in the slums. He will be there if I need him. |
| 47991 Jan Jansen returns to his home in the slums I managed to get a garrulous con-artist gnome out of a jam with the local authorities, and he has offered to join my party in the future should I wish to track him down at his home in the slums. Selling turnips, he said... but somehow I doubt that. |
| 47992 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa Jan has met up with a friend of his named Beeloo, who told him he was needed back at his home in the Slums District. I could not accompany him, so Jan went on his own and bid me to come and find him there at a later time once he has dealt with the problem. |
| 47993 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa The child of Lissa, Jan's childhood sweetheart, is dying and is expected only to live ten days. It likely stems from this husband of Lissa's, Vaelag. Jan has sworn to do what he could, but I could not stay and help him. He bid me to return after a couple of weeks if I wish to seek him out. |
| 47994 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa I have left Jan to deal with his family problem on his own. He said that he might be ready to travel again, should I wish, in a week or two and that I could seek him out at his home. |
| 47995 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa According to the Hidden, Jaella has been cured of her illness. He left to go elsewhere into the dark sewers, I assume, telling me in no uncertain terms that I am not to speak of his presence. All that remains is to return to Jan and tell him the good news. |
| 47996 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa The young girl, Jaella, has been cured of her illness... but even after all that, Jan's sweetheart, Lissa, decided to return to her cruel husband, Vaelag. Jan has sworn to take vengeance on the gnome if he ever hears of him hurting her again... but for now, he has rejoined my party. |
| 47997 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa The young girl, Jaella, has been cured of her illness... but even after all that, Jan's sweetheart, Lissa, decided to return to her cruel husband, Vaelag. Jan is brokenhearted, to say the least, and does not wish to remain at home... so he has rejoined my party once again. |
| 47998 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa The young girl, Jaella, has been cured... but even after all that, Lissa has agreed to return to her cruel husband, Vaelag. Jan is brokenhearted and wanted to return to my group, but I told him that it is best if he remains at home for a while. Jan will be available in the future should I have need of him. |
| 47999 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa Jan's personal business appears to be completed, although he is much the grimmer for it and obviously eager to be away from his home, should I have need of him in my party. |
| 48000 Jan returns home to help his former love, Lissa Lissa's daughter, Jaella, is dead... a cure could not be found in time to save her from her illness. Lissa has left Jan's home, and the dispirited, sad gnome seems more than willing to rejoin the party just to be away from there. |
| 48001 Yoshimo escapes the dungeon on his own I met a thief in this dark place who named himself Yoshimo. I didn't trust him enough to take him with me, but he did say that if I get out of this dungeon (as does he), that I should try and find him, perhaps at the closest tavern. |
| 48002 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family Apparently, Keldorn maintains a mansion of his own in the Government District here in Athkatla and has asked that we visit the place so that he may introduce me to his family. |
| 48003 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family After being reminded of his home in Athkatla, Keldorn has apparently found himself eager to return there. It seems he has not seen his family in quite some time. I told him I could not go with him, so Keldorn has left on his own. He bid me to find him at the headquarters of the Radiant Heart when he is done. |
| 48004 It seems there are always more questions than answers. Your captor, Irenicus, met your escape, though he was already in battle, bested, and taken by wizards in cowls of purple before you could do much of anything against him. Worse still, Imoen was also taken, apparently for the "crime" of using dangerous magics. Now you stand in the square of a great city, the bustle of commerce already absorbing the disturbance you witnessed. You will have to determine what happened to both your missing friend and the man that so callously used you. What was this Irenicus that it took so many to subdue him? And what could *you* do if you found him again? The uncertainty of your situation is unnerving. Hopefully, the citizens of this place will prove friendly. |
| 48005 CHAPTER TWO The deal is made, and you have a goal, albeit a distant one. Your new "friend" has assured you that passage to Imoen can be bought... though you are certain the final tally will include much more than gold. Any help is welcome, however, and while the cost may be steep, your path is clear. Finding Imoen will lead to Irenicus... and to answers long overdue. |

| 48008 *sigh* Well, the question to be asked is whether we allow entropy to rend the group asunder? Is it time to move on? |
| 48009 No, stay with the group, please. |
| 48010 Yes, it is time for us to go separate ways. |

| 48012 Keldorn returns to his wife and family After discovering that his wife had taken up with another man during his long absences, Keldorn has come to the conclusion that he is to blame... and I have urged him to leave my companionship and attempt a reconciliation with her. I wonder if I shall see him again? |
| 48013 Keldorn dies defending Sir William Keldorn's odd sense of justice and honor forced him to defend Sir William, the very man whom his own wife has been betraying him with. Now, the Lady Maria is not only an adulteress, but a widow as well. |
| 48014 Keldorn returns to his wife and family After discovering that his wife, Maria, had taken up with another man during his long absences, Keldorn came to the conclusion that he was to blame and sought a reconciliation with her. I chose not to stand in the way of the knight leaving my company and instead spending time repairing his relationship with his family. |
| 48015 Keldorn returns to his wife and family After discovering that his wife, Maria, had taken up with another man during his long absences, Keldorn decided that it was he who was at fault... and sought a reconciliation. Keldorn promised to resign from the Order, and I urged him to spend a day with his family, rebuilding their relationship... after which Keldorn told me that I could find him at his estate once again. |
| 48016 Keldorn returns to his wife and family After discovering that his wife, Maria, had taken up with another man during his long absences, Keldorn came to the decision that it was he who was to blame. He has reconciled with his wife, promising that his mission with me shall be his last and that after he returns, he shall resign from the Order... a promise which she has accepted. |
| 48017 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family Keldorn's wife had betrayed him by spending time with another man during his absences... and while he might feel otherwise, the only proper thing for Keldorn to do was to bring both her and her lover to justice. |
| 48018 Keldorn wishes to visit his wife and family Keldorn took vengeance upon the man with whom his wife had betrayed him. As a result, Maria has left Keldorn and taken her children with him. The knight is devastated, obviously... but claims he is ready to return to my company so he can forget about these events. |
| 48019 Sir Keldorn returns to the Radiant Heart I encountered a paladin of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart in the sewers beneath the city, apparently searching for the source of this cult as I am. He invited me to seek him out later at the Radiant Heart headquarters in the Temple District, once the cult business is finished. |
| 48020 The wrong person completely, though I might be willing to listen to you anyway. |
| 48021 Lost one point of Dexterity |
| 48022 Yes, you are likely correct in this, my friend. It wrenches my heart that Moira's death should go unpunished, but there is little that can be done. |
| 48023 I should not take vengeance upon a man my father believes is guilty only because of his pride. It could just as easily have been a... a burglar, perhaps. |
| 48024 'Tis not a pestering that I wish. I merely thought you might be an inquisitive sort. My sources said as much, and they are seldom wrong. |
| 48025 And if it is this Saerk, the gods will punish him even if the courts will not. |
| 48026 I wish I could return to my father and convince him that this is the best way, but I am sure he will not even see me. He is a stubborn, vile man. Perhaps, in time, he shall see the truth of this matter. |
| 48027 Am I wrong, thinking you might want some particulars about the town? Or about why certain things happen as they do? Or how to find lost friends and enemies? |
| 48028 At least... that is my hope. Ahhhh, <CHARNAME>... let us continue on your quest and leave this behind us. It leaves an ashen taste in my mouth that I would sooner forget. |
| 48029 Casts Timestop |
| 48030 I find where I need to be just fine. Have you something to say to me or not? |
| 48031 A flat, emotionless voice whispers in your head: "Three bright stones shall be the key. When the Portal opens, none can say whether it is your doom or your salvation that shall be put forth..." |
| 48032 Chremy |
| 48033 Chremy |
| 48034 Who is this group, exactly? |
| 48035 Ason |
| 48036 It's too much to ask when I don't even know who will be getting it. |
| 48038 You might think so, but the offer I make is good whether you act on it now or not. You will come to see the reasonable nature of it, I am sure. |
| 48039 It's too much to ask when I don't even know who will be getting it. |
| 48040 That seems like quite a lot to spend on people unknown to me. |
| 48041 Spend not a coin now, then. Seek your fortune about the town, but remember that here is where your help is. Strangers are not always to be feared. |
| 48042 Ason |
| 48043 You mentioned selling some of my goods... Where is a good place to do it? |
| 48044 Very well, I'll be back with the money. |
| 48045 You find an opened book beside a body on the floor. |
| 48046 Is there no help to be found elsewhere? |
| 48047 It's too much to ask when I don't even know who will be getting it. |
| 48048 To the Lower Reaches |
| 48049 There was a girl in the Copper Coronet by the name of Nalia. She might have some work for a fighting <PRO_MANWOMAN> like yourself. |
| 48050 You should try Renal Bloodscalp for some employment. He's 'round the docks in the Shadow Thieves' guild building. Tell them I sent you. |
| 48051 There was some fellow named Madeen looking for adventurers. Don't know much about him, but he's at the Government District if you're interested. |
| 48052 You might try the Temple District if you are looking for employment. A <PRO_MANWOMAN> of faith like yourself could do well there. |
| 48053 There might be employment for you in the Copper Coronet. A Lord Jierdan was inquiring about you, I think. |
| 48054 If you need work, I remember a boy from the Umar Hills looking for help. I think he was wandering the central park of the Government District. |
| 48055 I'd check the Five Flagons in the Bridge District if you are looking for bardic work. There's a playhouse downstairs. |
| 48056 You may want to head south of Trademeet. I hear there is a druid grove down that way. Talk to Flydian in the City Gates District. |
| 48057 Aye, mate, bend yer ear fer a secon'... Whaddaya call a fish wit' no eyes? |
| 48058 Fssshhh! Har, har, har, ye're a landlubber if e'er I saw one, mate! |
| 48059 Ahoy there, mate! Pull ye up a chair an' let us carouse together! We all here be sailors of the Bleedin' Mary, testin' our land livers while on shore leave. |
| 48060 The Bleeding Mary? |
| 48061 From where do you hail, sailor? |
| 48062 Aye, she's a fine ship who moves at a fast clip; there's ne'er been better, you have my word. We'd 'ave outsailed Balduran 'imself were 'e still 'ere to meet th' challenge! |
| 48063 She us'd t' be called the Yawnin' Mary, but she din't exactly strike fear into th' 'earts o' our victims. |
| 48064 What's dat? Aye, I be a salt-encrusted citizen of the High Seas, I be, an' a ten-time survivor of the scurvy wastin'. |
| 48065 Of course. |
| 48066 Fascinating, but I really must be going. |
| 48067 I'll be seein' ye in th' drunk tank! |
| 48068 Argh, I won't lie t' ye. We come fro' Baldur's Gate. Sailors we wuz, but pirates we'll be! Unfortunate business with our employer, ye understand. |
| 48069 A nasty bugger by th' name o' Sarevok. Killed poor Zack, 'e did! We 'ad t' skip town right quick when a <PRO_MANWOMAN> called <CHARNAME> up and killed 'im. Now we be pirates! |
| 48070 I flounder an' den I lobster... I flounder an' den I lobster... But wit' all my sole, I know She'll be a-swimmin' home to me... |
| 48071 What do ya do wit' a drunken sailor? What do ya do wit' a drunken sailor? What do ya do wit' a drunken sailor Er-lye in the marnin'? |
| 48072 Put 'im in the lockup till 'e's sober! Put 'im in the lockup till 'e's sober! Put 'im in the lockup till 'e's sober, Er-lye in the marnin'! |
| 48073 Strap 'im to the anchor an' throw 'im over! Strap 'im to the anchor an' throw 'im over! Strap 'im to the anchor an' throw 'im over, Er-lye in the marnin'! |
| 48074 Strip 'im to 'is skivvies an' piss all over! Strip 'im to 'is skivvies an' piss all over! Strip 'im to 'is skivvies an' piss all over, Er-lye in the marnin'! |
| 48075 Stuff 'im in a crate an' send 'im to 'is mother! Stuff 'im in a crate an' send 'im to 'is mother! Stuff 'im in a crate an' send 'im to 'is mother Er-lye in the marnin'! |

| 48077 Dat nobody can deny! Dat nobody can deny! Ooohhh... |
| 48078 I'se th' b'y that builds the boat, And I'se th' b'y who sails 'er, And I'se th' b'y that catches th' fish, And brings 'em home to Liza! |
| 48079 Argh! |
| 48080 Argh! |
| 48081 Argh! |
| 48082 Argh! |
| 48083 Argh! |
| 48084 Fairly warned be thee, says I. |
| 48085 Fairly warned be thee, says I. |
| 48086 Uhhhghh... Sally? S'at you? Where's th' monkey...? |
| 48087 I'se the b'y that burns the boat, And I'se the b'y who loots her... Mmmm... looting... |
| 48088 Are ya talkin' to me? |
| 48089 Excuse me there, Lerta. I'm feelin' a wee bit woozy. |
| 48090 Rrrrrrrrrrr... *snort* |
| 48091 Nnng... nargh... Ma, I didn't loot Da's wagon! ...zzzzzz. |
| 48092 Zzzz... Aye, Captain, I'll put him in the hold 'til he' sober... zzzzz... |
| 48093 Uhhhhhhhhhhh... |
| 48094 Mighty fine weather we've been having. Only been raining for eight hours per day or so. Good fer fishing, I says. |
| 48095 'Twas a nice town before the filthy pirates moved in. Scoundrels! A man's children aren't safe around that sea filth. |
| 48096 I hope Desharik's men move out soon. They're tearing up the town in an orgy of drunkenness. |
| 48097 You don't seem the type to be visiting here for the fine sea air. I'd suggest finding a way off this island and quick! |
| 48098 Cursed nets! If I spent as much time fishing as I spend mending nets, I'd be a wealthy man. Aye, that I would. |
| 48099 Welcome to Brynnlaw, friend. I'd offer you our hospitality, if the pirates hadn't already stolen it. |
| 48100 I hate fish. I hate fishing. I hate pirates. I hate this climate! |
| 48101 If another drunken pirate lays his stinking paws on me, I swear that I'll scream. |
| 48102 Brynnlaw is a great place to raise children, if you don't mind boatloads of vile drunks stealing candlesticks to buy grog. |
| 48103 Good folk best be watching their step around Brynnlaw. There's trouble at every corner. |
| 48104 Poor Ginia and Ason. They don't deserve what lot life has given them. |
| 48105 Hey, sailor! Ready for a little shore leave adventure? |
| 48106 If you have a gold coin, then I have a heart of gold! |
| 48107 You may be wanting to see my male counterpart. He'll give you what you desire. I can't be obliging you. |
| 48108 I wish I had a keg of rum. |
| 48109 Please, <SIRMAAM>, do you have any money to spare? I can't go back to the guild until I have something. |
| 48110 Why don't you find employment? Am I a charity to be hounded by the unwashed? |
| 48111 Of course I can spare a coin. Why is it that you worry about returning home empty-handed? |
| 48112 Here is a coin, girl. Dry your tears. |
| 48113 I am... employed, <SIRMAAM>. *sob* I can't bear to have another drunken pirate pawing me in a dark room! But I need at least a coin... he'll hurt Ason! |
| 48114 Very well. Here is a coin. Dry your tears; I must be off. |
| 48115 I'm afraid that I have no money to spare. |
| 48116 Why don't you tell me who's threatening you? Perhaps I could help. |
| 48117 I'm afraid that I have no money to spare. |
| 48118 You seem like a good person, <SIRMAAM>. I will tell you if you promise not to tell Chremy. |
| 48119 Thank you, my <LADYLORD>. It will, perhaps, stave off another beating. |
| 48120 Of course. I wouldn't want to get you in trouble. |
| 48121 I don't even know this Chremy. Speak on, girl. |
| 48122 I can't make that promise if I haven't heard the tale. |
| 48123 Who is Chremy? |
| 48124 *sob* Very well. Excuse me. |
| 48125 I should begin with my name... Ginia. I grew up here in Brynnlaw. My father was a tailor until he was killed, and my mother is long dead. |
| 48126 My <LADYLORD>, things have not always been like this. Brynnlaw was once a pleasant town, though my memories may be influenced by happier times in my own life. |
| 48127 Go on. |
| 48128 I have no time to listen to the rest of this. Perhaps another time. |
| 48129 Regardless, life was hard... but it had its pleasures. We lived on fish and our produce. The asylum offered employment to many of us. |
| 48130 Chremy is the source of my troubles, <SIRMAAM>. Count yourself all the luckier if you don't know him. I wish I didn't. |
| 48131 Then the pirates arrived, led by the despot Desharik. Desharik had lost a war with another pirate king. Forced to this island, his ships invaded the town. |
| 48132 They took our homes. Desharik killed our mayor and dumped his body into the sea. We were forced out into the streets. |
| 48133 He tried to get back into our house and was executed for breaking the law of the pirates. Once they've stolen something, the owner has no claim on it. |
| 48134 Desharik said that we would have to pay for our father's "crime." He gave us to Chremy, his lieutenant, as a reward for service. |
| 48135 He put me to work as a courtesan for the drunken pirates. It's horrible, <SIRMAAM>! He says that he'll kill my brother Ason if I don't do it. |
| 48136 This is outrageous! Worry not, girl. Only point the way and Chremy shall worry you no more! |
| 48137 Why have you not gathered your brother and run away from this man? |
| 48138 I'm sorry to hear it, but I can't get involved. |
| 48139 We begged the asylum to offer us shelter, but the wizards within locked the doors against us. My father could take no more injustice. |
| 48140 What's the point, <SIRMAAM>? If Chremy dies, you will only get in trouble and Desharik will just give us to someone else... or kill us. |
| 48141 I can handle the trouble, girl. Perhaps I could help you escape as well. Do you have any exit at all? |
| 48142 Very well, I'm sorry that I cannot help you. |
| 48143 There is no escape for Ason and me. There is a smuggler who will take us, but we cannot afford to pay him. There is nowhere to run on this island. |
| 48144 Where is this smuggler? I will pay for you and your brother's passage. I will also ensure that Chremy never bothers you again. |
| 48145 I am at a loss. I'm sorry that I could not assist you. |
| 48146 Chremy can be found near the inn. The smuggler's name is Calahan. He will be near the docks. Thank you for your offer, but please be careful! |
| 48147 I hope that Calahan will take us with him when you kill Chremy. He said he could set us up with jobs in Ulgoth's Beard, near Baldur's Gate. |
| 48148 Have you spoken to Calahan? Will he take us to safety when you kill Chremy? |
| 48149 He will take you and your brother. It only cost 200 gold pieces. |
| 48150 Thank you, <GABBER>. I am in your debt. Please get rid of Chremy so that we will be free to leave. |
| 48151 Please, <SIRMAAM>, if you cannot help me leave me be. |
| 48152 I have decided that I will help you. Could you tell me your story again? |
| 48153 I will help you. I will kill Chremy and free you and your brother. |
| 48154 I shall leave you be. |
| 48155 Please get rid of Chremy, <GABBER>, so that my brother and I will be free to leave. |
| 48156 Is Chremy gone, <SIRMAAM>? Can he hurt us no longer? |
| 48157 He is dead, Ginia. You and Ason are free of his clutches. |
| 48158 Then he is dead, but Desharik shall merely give us to someone else. You have done so much already, but could you arrange passage with Calahan for us? |
| 48159 I shall arrange it. Where can Calahan be found? |
| 48160 I cannot afford to help you. |
| 48161 Ason and I owe you so much. Calahan can be found by the docks most days. |
| 48162 Is Chremy gone, <SIRMAAM>? Can he hurt us no longer? |
| 48163 He is dead. You and Ason should go to see Calahan immediately. He will put you on the next ship to Ulgoth's Beard. |
| 48164 I do not know how to express my gratitude, <GABBER>. You have saved us in every sense of the word. Thank you so much. I shall go to tell Ason. Farewell! |
| 48165 It has been done already. I suggest that you find your brother and go to see Calahan immediately. |
| 48166 'Allo, mate! Wha's the good word, then? Calahan I be, scourge of the seven seas! |
| 48167 Well met. What is it that you do here in Brynnlaw? |
| 48168 Don't I know you? |
| 48169 Hello, Calahan. I'm here to speak to you about Ginia and Ason. |
| 48170 I just wanted to see if our deal is still on. Will you take care of Ason and Ginia? |
| 48171 Smugglin', mostly. A bit o' petty theft when I be bored. Ye know. Th' usual. |
| 48172 A criminal, are you? You have admitted it! |
| 48173 Of course. The usual. What do you know about the asylum? |
| 48174 Calahan don't be owin' ye money, do he? |
| 48175 Probably not. You just look familiar. |
| 48176 I do know you! Are you not Calahan the Sailor lately of Ulgoth's Beard? You warned me about Mendas. |
| 48177 Forget that I asked. Tell me, what do you know of the asylum? |
| 48178 Aye, good kids... sad tale. Ye be involved in this somehow? 'Tis the first that I be hearin' of it if ye are. |
| 48179 I want to help them escape this island. Can you offer them passage? |
| 48180 Forget that I asked. |
| 48181 As ye'd have it. Darnta get yer pantaloons in a knot. |
| 48182 Excuse me. I haven't the time to speak with you. |
| 48183 Aye, 'tis true. I'll take 'em to Ulgoth's Beard and set 'em up with a woman called Therella. Don't ye worry yerself none. |
| 48184 Typical of this city. I'm just a poor businessman, but I'll be jailed just for my shadowed face. This bastard that robbed me looks like a rock gnome, so he's welcomed with open arms. |
| 48185 They wouldn't guess at what a fiend he is. After I hired him, I found out what he had done. I suppose that's why he cheated me and took off. |
| 48186 Nothin', <SIRMAAM>. I don't be dealin' with such an' like. Calahan'll smuggle some olive oil for ye, if ye wish. |
| 48187 Don't you worry. Just point me in the right direction. |
| 48188 I'm sure he's just terrible. Now where is he? |
| 48189 Yes, yes, life is unfair. I'll take care of him. |
| 48190 Forget it. Is there anything of interest happening here in town? |
| 48191 I judge by actions. You seem harmless enough, really. |
| 48192 Yes, well, you can go after him if you like. Last I heard, he was holed up in the Bridge District. A derelict little place bought with my gold... here, I'll even mark it on your map there. |
| 48193 I'll be on my way, in that case. |
| 48194 Darnta be a fool. This here town is owned by pirates. Ye wouldn't be here unless ye're foolish or a criminal in yer own right. When in Thesk, do as the Theskians do an' all dat. |
| 48195 He won't be moving much. He was on the run from Baldur's Gate when I met him. Oh, I suppose you'll want his name as well. |
| 48196 The name was Neb. He left a few families crying, or so I hear. Tell his corpse that Unger Hilldark sent you. |
| 48197 I refuse to deal with a criminal. Get back, man! |
| 48198 I apologize. I didn't realize what sort of town this was. Are there any interesting things happening in town? |
| 48199 Aye, could be. I been all over, I have. Lately came out of Ulgoth's Beard. Mistress Mallory certainly 'ad it out for me, she did. Nasty business, that. |
| 48200 What happened? You were forced to leave? |
| 48201 Tell me, do you know anything about the asylum? |
| 48202 Flee you from my home, will you? Honest citizen I am. Just a gnome trying to make a living. |
| 48203 The very same! Mistress Mallory is a mean one, she is. |
| 48204 Have you reason to be here? I do not recall summoning such as you. Do I... know you? I do not think it is so. |
| 48205 Do I... know you? No, no, I do not believe so. Leave lest I include you in my mathematical studies. Interruptions are costly. Think of the children. |
| 48206 What happened? Were you forced to leave? |
| 48207 It's nice to see you again. What can you tell me of this town? Anything interesting happening? |
| 48208 I'll be going then. Sorry to have bothered you. |
| 48209 Is your name Neb? |
| 48210 I am here to take what you stole from Unger Hilldark! |
| 48211 That I can. For 100 gp per head. If ye can pay, I'll take 'em to Ulgoth's Beard. Therella will take care o' 'em. |
| 48212 Farsight |
| 48213 Why, friend, who told you my name? Who... who is it that sent you here? |
| 48214 No one. Sorry to have bothered you. |
| 48215 I am here to take back what you stole from Unger Hilldark! |
| 48216 I hear that you are on the run from Baldur's Gate. |
| 48217 That sounds fair. I'll pay for their passage. |
| 48218 Why don't you just take them out of the goodness of your heart? |
| 48219 I'm a bit short. |
| 48220 That's ridiculous! I won't pay such an amount. |
| 48221 Aye, 'tis a place of adventure, Brynnlaw is. If by adventure ye mean drinking an' other shore leave activities. Why, the crew of the Bleedin' Mary just got in. Drinkin' up a storm, they is! |
| 48222 I think you lie. You have no cause to know my name unless you were sent by the law! Do vengeful families cry out for my capture? |
| 48223 That does sound exciting. I'll be leaving now. |
| 48224 Come then, attack! And your deaths shall be a riddle for some other fool to solve! |
| 48225 Unger? So you support the morally gray with the slaughter of the morally red? Think of what my death will mean. Think of the children, hehehee. |
| 48226 So, my former life does come back to haunt? So be it, though I shall miss the children so. Ah yes, the children... |
| 48227 A sad, sad tale 'tis that ye're about to hear. Mistress Mallory got it into her 'ead that Calahan was spreading malicious rumors 'bout her. |
| 48228 I admit that I may o' been a bit free with th' tongue-waggin', but 'tisn't like my stories be untrue. Mallory has... connections on account o' her... activities. |
| 48229 She had Scotty McAverstein give ol' Calahan a sound beating an' a ticket to Brynnlaw. Here I been ever since. I found me place in th' smuggling trade. Things could've been worse. |
| 48230 I suppose. Is there anything of interest happening here in town? |
| 48231 Tell me, Calahan, what do you know of the asylum? |
| 48232 I must be going, Calahan. |
| 48233 Then we be agree'n. Their passage is assured if ye can get them away from that bastard Chremy. Send 'em to ol' Calahan when ye've got things arranged. |
| 48234 I tell ye, <SIRMAAM>, I would like to offer 'em passage for free, but I got neither money nor a ship. Someone'll have t' pay. How's about ye payin'? |
| 48235 Fine, I shall pay. |
| 48236 I cannot pay that amount. |
| 48237 'Allo, <CHARNAME>! Darnta worry none. Ginia an' Ason are safely aboard a ship. I won't be tellin' anyone where they is! |
| 48238 Should we continue as before, or is this a turning point? |
| 48239 Please, remain in the group. |
| 48240 It is time we moved on. It's time for you to go. |
| 48241 It is time we moved on. It's time for you to go. |
| 48242 Excuse me, <SIRMAAM>. I didn't mean to bump into you. |
| 48243 I gotta go! |
| 48244 Hold it, son. Why have you taken money from me? |
| 48245 Thief! You shall pay for this, pickpocket! |
| 48246 Go if you wish. You wouldn't take my money if you didn't need it more than I do. |
| 48247 I'm sorry, <SIRMAAM>. I gotta do it, or he'll hit me again! |
| 48248 Explain yourself, boy. Who will hit you if you don't steal my money? |
| 48249 What do I care? Give me back my money, and you may escape without a tanned hide! |
| 48250 I gotta go! I'm sorry about your money... I don't like stealing... I gotta go! |
| 48251 Here! Take it! |
| 48252 I can't say, <SIRMAAM>. I don't want to die! I gotta go! |
| 48253 Long has been the solitude, long has been the wait for release. Now come you. |
| 48254 My duty is simple. A gift for you that have broken the seal. Ask no more, for I am freed. |
| 48255 Meat and grog, innkeep! |
| 48256 Blasted crew! Think they can drink me under the table! I'll show 'em! |
| 48257 By Umberlee's teat, where is my meat and grog? |
| 48258 Cursed Desharik! Charging fees like a stuffed-tunic harbormaster... he won't be a pirate lord forever, says I! |
| 48259 Very well, though I would not turn down the offer to walk with you again. If you wish me, I shall be at my parents' home in Trademeet. |
| 48260 Then our travels are done with. I shall seek my way with those that are more alike in belief. I am sorry it did not work out. Farewell. |
| 48261 Shall we continue on, or has this ended our travels? |
| 48262 We go on as before. Let's go. |
| 48263 It's time we went our separate ways. |
| 48264 It's time we went our separate ways. |
| 48265 Well... are we to separate on this note? |
| 48266 No, we shall travel together as before. |
| 48267 It's time we moved on, Jan. Time to go separate ways. |
| 48268 Magnetized |
| 48269 Good. We've much to see. |
| 48270 I tell you, friend, after two nights in the crow's nest near Waterdeep, you'll be looking forward to an ice bath just so you can warm up. |
| 48271 With weather like this, the captain will want to ship out soon. |
| 48272 Too bad about that privateer. He should never have betrayed his old crew. |
| 48273 I hates fishes. Gimme a bit o' beef any day of th' week. |
| 48274 Ye're new around here, ain't ye? I never seen such a landlubber in Brynnlaw. |
| 48275 Brynnlaw's a pleasant town for a sailor. One o' th' calmest bays along the Sword Coast. |
| 48276 Stand here, sailor! |
| 48277 I'm not the last, pirate scum! |
| 48278 Save it. Your time on this life is over. |
| 48279 We will not stop until you're wiped from the face of Toril! You cannot continue to get away with murder! |
| 48280 Executioner! |
| 48281 Desharik is no match for the privateers, pirate. You tell him that. |
| 48282 Aye, sir! |
| 48283 Are you ready? |
| 48284 Shall we travel as before? |
| 48285 Tell him that his death is coming. Tell him the privateers are coming! |
| 48286 Yes, Let's get going. |
| 48287 No, I think we should split up for now. |
| 48288 No, I think we should split up for now. |
| 48289 Do your duty, executioner! |
| 48290 For Amn! |
| 48291 Well done, man! I'll meet you in the Vulgar Monkey. |
| 48292 Aye aye, sir! |
| 48293 Keep movin', friend. I don't have time to talk. I'm waiting for my... employees. |
| 48294 I'm a busy man, friend. Why don't you go and bother someone else? |
| 48295 Then I will go to the Harper Hold in Athkatla. Much must be done to make people respect the reputation of the Harpers again. I will be there if you seek me. |
| 48296 Then I take my leave. I do not like the way you have been leaning lately, and no doubt we would have eventually fought. I bid you farewell. |
| 48297 There's no need for that. I've found the man I'm looking for. |
| 48298 I'm sorry to bother you. |
| 48299 Just try to keep it from happening again. |
| 48300 To Athkatla Sewers |
| 48301 No, I think we should split up for now. |
| 48302 Why would you be looking for me? I don't even know you. |
| 48303 But you do know Ginia and Ason, do you not? |
| 48304 It isn't worth the time it takes to give you reasons. Suffice to say, I will kill you. |
| 48305 No, I think we should split up for now. |
| 48306 I am sure you want to continue as we were? |
| 48307 Yes, let's get going, Aerie. |
| 48308 No, I think we should split up for now. |
| 48309 Entrance to the Cult Domain |
| 48310 Good. There isn't anywhere else I would rather be. |
| 48311 Back to the grind, eh? Are we off? |
| 48312 Yes, let's go. |
| 48313 No, I think we should go our separate ways for now. |
| 48314 To the Lair of the Unseeing Eye |
| 48315 Good and good. There's gold aplenty to be had together. |
| 48316 I trust you wish to continue our journey? |
| 48317 Yes, let's get back to our travels. |
| 48318 No, it would be best if we went separate ways for now. |
| 48319 Click again to turn the yellowed pages of this ancient tome. |
| 48320 To receive a reward, insert 10 gold. |
| 48321 It is best. There is much to do. |
| 48322 Then I take my leave of you lot. I am sure we would have come to blows had we traveled much further. You are sliding down a path I cannot condone. Farewell. |
| 48323 We must continue our travels. |
| 48324 Yes, let's get going, Anomen. |
| 48325 No, it would be better to split up for now. |
| 48326 Here is your reward. |
| 48327 Good. There is much left to do. |
| 48328 What is the meaning of this? Those leeches are my property. Stay away from them! |
| 48329 I will not allow you to abuse those two any longer. |
| 48330 You're right. I won't bother you any longer. |
| 48331 Do we flower anew, or is the fall upon us? |
| 48332 Uh, just stay with the group and let's go. |
| 48333 I think it best that we split up for now. |
| 48334 You may rotate this horseshoe-shaped wheel. |
| 48335 You're messing with the wrong man, fool! |
| 48336 That is what I intended. Onward then. |
| 48337 Then I shall return to the druid grove and do nature's work from there. That is where I'll be if you wish to find me. |
| 48338 Grog. Grog an' a bath. Aye... |
| 48339 *sigh* Are we through? I should like to know if we are to continue. |
| 48340 Yes, let's go. |
| 48341 No, we should split up for now. |
| 48342 The Pit of the Faithless |
| 48343 Do we continue? Or are we through with each other? |
| 48344 We go on as before. Let's go. |
| 48345 It is time that we took separate paths. |
| 48346 Good. There are few other people that would welcome me as you do. |
| 48347 Are we to continue our travels together? |
| 48348 Yes, let's go. |
| 48349 No, we should split up for now. |
| 48350 Good. Let's not waste time here. |

| 48460 O-okay! Thank you again, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! I am sure the Lady of Joy will smile on you! |
| 48461 That is a wonderful thing you did, <CHARNAME>. A lesser <PRO_MANWOMAN> would have just let those children free to wander the streets, hungry and penniless. |
| 48462 *sigh* The trouble is, knowing this city the way I do it is more than likely that the girl will be robbed of her coin before the day is out. A pity how this world works. |
| 48463 Bah! It be a waste of good gold to give it to yon girlie! What be the point of adventuring if ye gives all yer wealth to waifs and the needy? |
| 48464 Don't be getting yer slippers in a pinch, girlie. The gold does the lass little good. More than likely we will come across her corpse within a fortnight, robbed. |
| 48465 Aye, that I am, lass! An' were ye shorter and bearded I would be showing ye just how I acquired me reputation amongst the women of me clan! |
| 48466 Have you no sense of charity, dwarf? What is the sense of freeing such children only to subject them to starvation and destitution, then? |
| 48467 That's a horrible thing to say! I am sure we have enough gold that we can spare a little... It makes a huge difference to them, and your share won't be any the less! |
| 48468 You are such a horrid beast, Korgan! |
| 48469 You... you are a horrid person, Korgan! I can't believe you say such things! |
| 48470 They... they would bring the children in here to be assaulted by such creatures? H-how... how is such a thing possible? Why?! |
| 48471 That's probably not something you want to think about too closely, Aerie. Some parts of the world are very ugly places, and more often than not, the journey to them is a short one. |
| 48472 Aye, lass. It is a terrible thing to ponder. But have we not done our part in ending this base tyranny? Cling to that, if you can. |
| 48473 Grow up, girl! Must we endure your mewling every time you confront human nature? (Hmm, I have to wonder what she'll be like in twenty years. Maybe with my help...) |
| 48474 That such outrageous slavery has been allowed to exist in this city for so long sickens me to the stomach. It is a good thing that heroes such as we exist, no? |
| 48475 Really, <CHARNAME>, couldn't you have spared a little gold for the child? You may have rescued them only to subject them to starvation and worse. |
| 48476 A nearby rumbling noise signals a massive door opening. |
| 48477 You will question <PRO_HISHER> good actions now, druid? One wonders sometimes if you have a true stand on any point of righteousness! You make me ill, half-elf! |
| 48478 Despair, mortal, for you have disturbed my rest. |
| 48479 What?! Give up our hard-earned gold on a waif who will most like be robbed of it afore the day be out? Ye be daft, druid. |
| 48480 And one wonders how long you have been able to hide your arrogance and disregard behind a semblance of honor, Anomen. Helm would disapprove, I think. |
| 48481 I do not fear you, knight! Any moment you wish to meet on the field of battle, I will be there! |
| 48482 Do not mock me, woman, or mock my faith! I have killed many an infidel in the past, and it would not concern me overly to add another to the list! |
| 48483 The hand of the staked creature comes loose in your grasp. |
| 48484 Stand and speak that I would hear your lies! That Bodhi sent you, didn't she?! Are you to kill me, or are you as damned as I? |
| 48485 It comes as no surprise to me that an immoral dwarf such as you has a heart of stone, Korgan. I simply expect better from <CHARNAME>. |
| 48486 Knock it off, you two! |
| 48487 Go to Hell, Jaheira! I saved them, didn't I? |
| 48488 Maybe you're right. I'll think on your words. |
| 48489 Let's just get out of here. |
| 48490 Eh? We be nae but bickering, <CHARNAME>. No need to get yer girdle in a bind. |
| 48491 That you did, <CHARNAME>, but there is a responsibility that comes with such actions as well. You might decide to ponder that at some point in the future. |
| 48492 Now ye're going to be hanging on every word that tree-hugging, flower-eating half-elf be saying? Bah! Ye're a yellow kobold, ye are. |
| 48493 Courtesan |
| 48494 Enough, Korgan. Knock it off. |
| 48495 Heh... that's pretty funny, Korgan. |
| 48496 Just ignore him. |
| 48497 Just ignore him. |
| 48498 Quiet! Let's get moving. |
| 48499 Aw, it be nothing more than a wee jest, <CHARNAME>. No need to get yer girdle in a twist o'er it. |
| 48500 Isn't it, though? It may not be looking so, but when I travel amongst me clan, the lasses fling themselves at me feet! Har! |
| 48501 A-all right, <CHARNAME>, but I don't know how much longer I can put up with this... this brute! |
| 48502 Hmph. Easy for you to say, <CHARNAME>. He isn't staring at your rear end all day while we march. |
| 48503 Wha-aat?! I be innocent, I swear! Har har! |
| 48504 What?! They have no shame in trading lives of others?! Evil, meet my trusty sword! Sword: MEET EVIL! |
| 48505 Th-they... they admit that they are slavers?! This is disgusting! We shall destroy you all, you disgusting men! |
| 48506 Bah! Even I would nae trade children an' women as if they were cattle! Let us plant an axe firmly in their skulls, <CHARNAME>! |
| 48507 This is a coffin. |
| 48508 Kill me if you must, impatient ones, but it shall place the blade in thy greedy hands no faster! |
| 48509 Enough! If there be treasure to be had, ye shall place it in our hand with none of this nonsense and riddles lest my axe find yer tongue! |
| 48510 We have no patience for riddles, sewer filth! If you know something of a special blade, you will tell us now! |
| 48511 Your evil ways disgust me. You should tread carefully from now on. |
| 48512 How sad, to have been kept prisoner in such a state. And by what? The presence in the sword? It does not make sense. |
| 48513 At... at least he's free now. What a poor, poor man. |
| 48514 Well... he's free now, at least. I wonder how long he's been down here... in the sewers. What an awful thing to have happen to you! |
| 48515 A puzzle, obviously. We must find the four things spoken of to unlock whatever mystery is hidden here. Who would hide something in such a fashion, I wonder? |
| 48516 Ah, yes, the old puzzle-box trick. Ma Jensen used to hide the keys to the breadbox the same way, not that it ever stopped us. "Jan," she used to say, "one of these days, you're going to have one too many sweetbreads!" I never did, although my cousin Arfie once did that day he exploded. Sad story, that. |
| 48517 We should probably go to this Quallo fellow and ask him about this riddle. Someone went to a lot of trouble to secure something away here, and my whiskers are itching to find out what! |
| 48518 <CHARNAME>, can this possibly be worth the endless trekking through slime and filth? I say we torture this Quallo for answers and then we leave this stench-ridden place for good! |
| 48519 Funny. One would figure you'd be right at home amongst the slime, Viconia. |
| 48520 How interesting. I would have thought you'd feel right at home in this slime, Viconia. |
| 48521 Do not think to jest with me, male, lest you lose your tongue. |
| 48522 Odd. I would have thought you'd be right at home amongst the slime, Viconia. I thought I even saw a cousin of yours back there a ways. |
| 48523 No, I don't want you to leave just yet, Yoshimo. |
| 48524 We don't need your services right now. Sorry, Yoshimo. |
| 48525 Ooh! To take swords against monsters of great evil! Already I feel Boo wriggling in excited anticipation! |
| 48526 Of course it is Boo. Boo is always happy when opportunities for heroism come! We shall crush these ogres, and rangers and hamsters everywhere shall rejoice! |
| 48527 Are you sure it's your rodent, Minsc? I once felt excitement before impending doom fell upon me, and it turned out later to be a mild case of indigestion. You should get that checked, you know... I was laid out for weeks in bed, eating nothing but ice cream and porridge, and we wouldn't want you turning into a chubby berserker, now would we? |
| 48528 Hmm. Are you sure you're talking about your rodent there, Minsc? Not a heart attack? I've seen you get pretty excited, after all... |
| 48529 Well... I've heard of this Lord Jierdan, <CHARNAME>, if it's any help. He has the coin to back up his offer. He's not reputed to be the nicest noble in Amn, but then who is? |
| 48530 I think it would be an excellent idea to get outside of the city and administer justice on such evil creatures. Tyranny is best matched with equal force. |
| 48531 Pfeh! I know ye, druid. Ye wants nothing more than to return to yer tree-hugging ways an' nothing more. More than likely ye'll turn tail at the first sight of yon ogres! |
| 48532 Ye're welcome to try it any time, half-elf... |
| 48533 I... I don't know, Jaheira, I've heard about this Lord Jierdan. He's brutal; it's not like him to be so protective of his people. I don't like the sound of this. |
| 48534 I've fought many an ogre in the past, dwarf, and many other powerful evil creatures aside from such. You should be wary that I do not add you to the list. |
| 48535 We go on as before. Let's go. |
| 48536 If the bloody noble wishes to reward us with a plunder of gold, why must you nicker about his motives, girlie?! Let us be off, <CHARNAME>! Ogre blood beckons me axe! |
| 48537 Perhaps we should go our separate ways. |
| 48538 Enough, girl! Whether the ogres prey upon the weak or upon this noble's businesses, it is still an evil that must be crushed! Let us deal the justice that is called for. |
| 48539 We stand together against the greatest foe of all, my friend! Come, then, dragon! With my last breath, if need be, I shall defy you! |
| 48540 You... you want us to fight a dragon?! You moronic fool! I'll not follow you into an idiotic death! Be eaten by the reptile, for all I care! |
| 48541 So, you want me back, do you? |
| 48542 Yes, I need your skills. |
| 48543 No. |
| 48544 I knew you'd come to your senses. |
| 48545 Fine, talk to me when you've come to appreciate what I can offer. |
| 48546 I'm glad to finally be rid of you idiots! |
| 48547 So is this to be it, then? (Only a true fool would not realize my importance.) |
| 48548 Yes, we no longer have need of your services. |
| 48549 No, don't leave. |
| 48550 Fine! If you ever come to your senses (as unlikely as that may be), where exactly would you like to meet me, mm? |
| 48551 Ah, Gorion once said that he and some Harpers dealt a humiliating blow to a dragon in the Stormhorn Mountains. I was not aware this was the same one. |
| 48552 We... we cannot let it end like this, can we? This is a foul beast of legend... surely we will not let it get away with its manipulations! Too many have suffered at its whim! |
| 48553 Perhaps you are right, paladin... but there is always another time to face your foes. Especially ones as strong as this creature. We shall do your cause no good if we are dead. |
| 48554 I, for one, would rather leave this place with my hide. But it is up to <CHARNAME>, of course... if <PRO_HESHE> says fight, then I shall do my best. |
| 48555 Do as the dragon suggests, <CHARNAME>! Nothing is served by attacking this beast! What is the saying...? Ah... discretion is the better part of valor! |
| 48556 Pfeh! What would you know of valor, wizard? You listen only to your first instinct, which is to turn tail and run! |
| 48557 What would you know of valor, mage? Your pale and thin skin is all that is important to you, and we are all more than aware of that fact. |
| 48558 Do not address me in such a manner, fool! I am only concerned with our lives in the presence of an ancient force that you could NEVER understand! Bah! |
| 48559 I... would strike for goodness, <CHARNAME>... but this dragon is so... so... It would not be cowardice to come back another day with bigger swords! |
| 48560 Yes... I think you are correct, <CHARNAME>. Their appearances are bloodied, but I believe we gaze upon slain members of my own Order before us. |
| 48561 One of them I recognize as a knight who ranged far up the Sword Coast... by the name of Ajantis. What a wicked deed this is that we have been tricked into performing. |
| 48562 It appears that I have been tricked into killing these knights! |
| 48563 It appears that I have been tricked into killing these knights! |
| 48564 <CHARNAME>, you should think on this for a moment. This is the only one who can attest to our innocence. I doubt the Order will believe our story without his aid. |
| 48565 You have a point, Keldorn. I will hear this man out. |
| 48566 Should I wish to hear your opinion, I will ask for it. |
| 48567 I have never known you to be pointlessly rude, <CHARNAME>, so I shall be brief. The Order will be relentless in their search, and without someplace to hide, we WILL be found. |
| 48568 I know what I'm doing, Keldorn. |
| 48569 Very well, I will hear this man out. |
| 48570 You must excuse me if I do not accept your version of the events. Are you mad? |
| 48571 I do not believe you. |
| 48572 Enough! I can take no more of your company! |
| 48573 I am sure you have your reasons, <CHARNAME>, but be not quick to turn down an offer of sanctuary. I am not eager to battle paladins without need. |
| 48574 I have been at the tip of self-righteous justice before. If these human knights believe you have murdered their number, they will hunt you with more determination than they would even a drow. |
| 48575 I hope you have another plan. I've seen the Order at work when they get roused, and it is not a pretty sight. |
| 48576 You turn the wheel with all your strength. From the west, you hear a loud creaking as if a door were being opened. |
| 48577 Minotaur Horn |
| 48578 Umber Hulk Horn |
| 48579 Murderer |
| 48580 Murderer |
| 48581 Now I remember why I had heard of him! He became wealthy and powerful too quickly to be legitimate. I wonder why he's turned his attention to us? |
| 48582 Aye, that makes sense. I have heard of his name mentioned in some less-than-reputable circles in the past. This Jierdan seems to be a special case. |
| 48583 Is there nothing you can do to aid us, sir? |
| 48584 We would be most appreciative of any aid you could render, Garren Windspear. |
| 48585 <CHARNAME>, we must find this fiend who steals children and disguises knights as monsters and apply a butt-kicking for goodness! All must be avenged! |
| 48586 For once, I agree with the addled ranger. I dislike being manipulated and would be interested in Lord Jierdan's reasons, though I care nothing about a rescue. |
| 48587 The foolish barbarian speaks like a dolt, but he has the right of it. We must pay a visit to this man who manipulates us like dolls, <CHARNAME>, and repay his insults in kind. |
| 48588 We have to find Garren's child! He... he's cleared our name with the paladins; it's the very least we could do! We have to try! |
| 48589 Ah, yes, off to rescue the kidnapped victim to restore one's good name! Sounds like a tale my Aunt Bertha once told me... although it was her turnip pie recipe that was being held hostage. Still, turnips are a serious business where I come from. You should have seen Aunt Bertha ride in, armed to the teeth, battling Aunt Binny for the right to her pie. The entire village almost went to war over that one... worst crisis since the griffon famine in '22. Ahhh, nostalgia... |
| 48590 This is a sensitive matter, and I cannot tell all to every curious soul. I must have your commitment that you agree to the task. |
| 48591 Do not be a fool, <CHARNAME>. These mages will hold you to a commitment regardless of what they want! We do not need them or their machinations! |
| 48592 Indeed. They seek your agreement before telling you what they wish you to do. The Cowled Wizards are not to be trusted, <CHARNAME>, as you well know. |
| 48593 I don't know... I have never taken a commission in the past before knowing what it is I was to perform. But the Cowled Wizards can reward with the best of them, I hear. |
| 48594 Pfeh! If you believe any of that, I have a bridge in Anauroch I'd like to sell you. Do not trust him, I say! |
| 48595 Methinks he plays a sweet melody, my raven, but we have still yet to hear the chorus. Shall we dance to the mage's tune, do you think? I, for one, am intrigued. |
| 48596 Out with it, wizard! If there be treasure to be had, I wish to know of it! |
| 48597 Are we to stoop to hunting for bounties now, <CHARNAME>? Even if we do not murder this man, would turning him over to the Cowled Wizards be any less of a sentence?! |
| 48598 This task does not sit easily in my stomach, <CHARNAME>. I do not approve of it. |
| 48599 While surely all murderers must be brought to task, I wonder what manner of justice the Cowled Wizards would apply. It is something to consider. |
| 48600 What?! You know what selfish purpose the wizards intend for Valygar and still you tell?! You are a contemptible person, and I shall take no more part of this! |
| 48601 I am disappointed that you take such a step, <CHARNAME>. I believe the Cowled Wizards to be the fiends in this plot. I cannot, in conscience, remain with you any longer. |
| 48602 Why... why would you do this to Valygar? He is a good man, and you've betrayed him! You... you aren't the person I thought you were, <CHARNAME>. I... I have to leave... |
| 48603 Be on your way, then. I doubt we shall see each other again. |
| 48604 I feel dirty, <CHARNAME>. I didn't realize journeying with you would involve such grim activities. Let's... let's avoid this kind of thing in the future, okay? |
| 48605 Well, there goes the wizard with a body in tow. Not the sort of thing you see every day unless you happen to be living with a necromancer. I did once, when I was working for Golodon. He used to come into the tower every second day with a body over his shoulder. I would look at him all suspicious-like and ask him where he found it, and he would just shrug and say vaguely, "Oh... around." |
| 48606 It took me a while, but eventually I decided Golodon wasn't being entirely aboveboard with me on the body issue. Since then, I've never trusted a wizard with more arms and legs than he was born with... unless he's been polymorphed, of course, but even then it's usually wisest to keep your distance. |
| 48607 Finally, dealings with the Cowled Wizards are over! (Although I would have liked to have seen exactly what they were going to use the ranger for.) |
| 48608 I have done nothing but defend myself from greedy wizards who only wish to plunder the magical wealth of my dread ancestor. Anything they have told you is mere contrivance. |
| 48609 Oh... so this is why they want your body. To get inside that sphere and... and take its treasure. We... we can't support this, <CHARNAME>! |
| 48610 Ah, yes, the mystery is finally solved. Yes, the Cowled Wizards would stop at nothing to get inside that sphere. I sympathize with their stand, of course. |
| 48611 Oho! They want to use your blood to get inside the planar sphere, do they? Not that I would mind their removing it. Takes up quite the bit of the scenery from my home, like a giant marble just fell out of nowhere. Funny they didn't mention that, but then every wizard I've ever known has had a terrible memory. Golodon used to forget to put on pants at least once a week, and his familiar, Binky, would collapse into hysterics every single time. |
| 48612 They... they want to use you to get into the sphere. I knew those Cowled Wizards couldn't be trusted! But... they'll hold us to our word, won't they? |
| 48613 This news leaves me even more ill at ease than before. I cannot, in truth, contemplate the murder of an innocent simply to further the plans of these wizards. |
| 48614 These wizards hunt you like a dog... simply to gain access to this sphere? How is it that no one stands up to these fiends?! |
| 48615 This changes everything! A fellow ranger plunged into peril by evil wizards! Even Boo cringes at what we have been sent to do! <CHARNAME>, this cannot be! |
| 48616 This is a ranger, <CHARNAME>, and therefore a man of honor. I believe we can trust what he says. And I become even less convinced that obeying the wizards is possible. |
| 48617 A ranger would not lie to us, <CHARNAME>... and there must be some reason that the Cowled Wizards would hunt this man so, for I do not judge him capable of murder. |
| 48618 A fellow brother of the woods! Is this the man the wizards have sent us to kill? <CHARNAME>, tell me it is not so! |
| 48619 I... I cannot stand with you in this, <CHARNAME>! Many good things you have done indeed, but this act I cannot condone. Forgive me, but I must leave you... |
| 48620 You... you would kill this man? At the request of wizards far less honorable than he? I was obviously mistaken to follow you, but no longer! This man I shall defend! |
| 48621 This is a good man, <CHARNAME>. I cannot commit this act in your name or any other. |
| 48622 I have suspected you of evil, <CHARNAME>, and now I know it to be true! This is a ranger, a man of honor... and I will not allow you to murder him! |
| 48623 You... you would not lead Boo and me astray! We do good things; we are heroes! This man lies, I say, and I shall fight with <CHARNAME>! |
| 48624 No! I will not allow you to kill a fellow brother of the woods! You have become evil, and I have allowed it to happen! No longer will I stand by! |
| 48625 I... I can't let you do this, <CHARNAME>! I don't want to be a murderer of good people! I won't! |
| 48626 I say this man lies with his every breath! He is a murderer that will say anything to avoid justice! I fight with <CHARNAME>! |
| 48627 Are... are you sure this is right, <CHARNAME>? I... I suppose he could be lying. I will fight with you, I suppose... |
| 48628 Let us be moving, then. More than likely the Cowled Wizards will hear of my movements... and the fact that you accompany me... soon enough. We shall have to be ready. |
| 48629 You'd better know what you're doing, <CHARNAME>. You just pit us against the Cowled Wizards. The Cowled Wizards! Bah! |
| 48630 We will have to be careful with the Cowled Wizards now at our heels. But it is a righteous cause, and another companion to stand at our side is always welcome. |
| 48631 Be welcome, brother of the woods! Together, you and Boo and I shall stride forward to crush all evil in our wake! Woe betide evil! |
| 48632 It is good to see another protector of nature within our ranks, Valygar, and if the devious Cowled Wizards seek to use you, I will stand against them! |
| 48633 Ooo, there's none so desirable a trinket as one you cannot see. Are you sure I can't just have a peek or two? |
| 48634 As I said, not until Gaelan wills it. Good day. |
| 48635 I am not certain I would find your wares palatable regardless. I suspect they are ill-got in origin. |
| 48636 You will have to hold your judgment until Gaelan wills it, as I said. |
| 48637 Well, I don't understand... why wouldn't he want us to actually go and cure his mother? Then he wouldn't have to stand out here and beg, right? |
| 48638 You can't possibly be that naive, Nalia. What did they teach you in that castle of yours? |
| 48639 I feel quite ill myself. I... I should like to leave this horrid place. |
| 48640 Are you serious, Nalia? Are you being sarcastic, or do you seriously not know what the hell you're talking about? |
| 48641 You are as naive as you are foolish, girl. The beggar speaks excuses to indulge himself in wine, most likely, and little more. Even you should be able to figure such a thing out. |
| 48642 Hold fast, boy. You'll warm to the job in the end. Misery is a fine subject of study. |
| 48643 Hah! A liar exposed for the fraud that he is! To use such an excuse as an ill mother only to be revealed... it sickens my stomach to witness such base cunning. |
| 48644 Weakling male, relish your work. It is an honored position you have. |
| 48645 And well you should be. This is coward's work, despicable to the core. |
| 48646 Ye're a weak stick of a lad then. It comes natural to better men than you. |
| 48647 Shadow Thief Cellar Key |
| 48648 MUST you keep handing out gold coins like they grow on trees?! We will be swarmed! (And besides, <PRO_HESHE> could always give them to ME!) |
| 48649 I have naught for you, dog. Weak ye are if ye rot in here! |
| 48650 This passing of our wealth to the poor is an affront to self-determinism, <CHARNAME>. These wretched fools would be far better off fending for themselves. |
| 48651 Poor creatures! <CHARNAME>, I can watch no more. Get me out of here. |
| 48652 No doubt you are deserving of your punishment, though this place is probably far emptier than it should be... |
| 48653 Heh... I do believe you've just been forced into committing an act of charity, <CHARNAME>. |
| 48654 Well now, that's quite a trick. Oh... you mean you didn't intend to give your gold to the beggar anyway, <CHARNAME>? That's odd... the way you presented your pocket, I could have sworn that's what you had intended. Ah well. |
| 48655 Did... did you see that?! He took our gold anyway! How rude! |
| 48656 Such a languishing end... Here lies the embodiment of all the universe, though it is sure to be small comfort to him. |
| 48657 Best you hope that I never spy you at your trade, thief. I am here of necessity, but I shall not be blind. |
| 48658 This vorpal Silver Sword radiates a dark aura when you examine it, and the blade is so finely sharpened it could likely sever a head in a single blow.

| 48659 Rooftops! I would slide along the odd wall, but never had the will to go higher. |
| 48660 I could show you a thing or three, m'lady, if you wished. Perhaps... over dinner? |
| 48661 Er, no, thank you. |
| 48662 Why does he keep whipping those poor creatures? Oh, this is horrid! I can't watch this! |
| 48663 <CHARNAME>, I know we have little choice, but could we stay away from the more criminal of these people? Conflict is inevitable otherwise. |
| 48664 It makes me ill to witness such a display. Does this fool not realize that these monsters he whips could pummel him into a pulp should they care to? |
| 48665 I most assuredly am not! This partnering is by necessity alone! |
| 48666 I do not share that name! I would be against the lot of you were our association not dire necessity. |
| 48667 The merchant is a fool for having such monsters here in the city to begin with, but I'll not allow them to shed his blood! Come, <CHARNAME>, we must stop them! |
| 48668 You are mistaken. I do not bear that name, and I will not. The greater balance bids me here. |
| 48669 You have proven yourself to be a person of few morals. I'm happy that I am leaving. |
| 48670 Oho! It seems the tables have turned on yon merchant, eh? Well, never let it be said that Korgan turned down a good party! |
| 48671 I respect your size just as I hope others respect mine, but I will not take that name. Our association is temporary. |
| 48672 Well, there's a lesson in there somewhere, I suppose. Never whip a sick ogre? Never tell someone twice your size to pick something up? Never boss someone around unless you can run faster than they can? Aha! If you're going to hire ogres, give them sick days and benefits or they will kill you. Yes... that about sums it up, I think. |
| 48673 This statue is missing its horns. |
| 48674 A despicable ruse, abusing the charity of others. Vile in every respect. |
| 48675 Har har har! Methinks the fat merchant should have stuck to hiring beasts that he could outrun! |
| 48676 A door has been opened. |
| 48677 No doubt you thought them cheaper than hiring regular poor folk. You disgust me. I almost wish the ogres had finished the job. |
| 48678 You are lucky we did not allow the creatures to complete what they started. You are a fool, merchant, and should think with your head instead of your purse. |
| 48679 Such treachery and deceit! An outrage to right-thinking people! |
| 48680 Are you sure that you wish me to leave? There is still much good that we need to accomplish in this place. |
| 48681 Wretched rivvil! You should be on your knees, thanking us for saving your miserable hide! A hundred lashes at the end of your own whip might put some sense into your head, fool! |
| 48682 I would rather have you stay with the party. |
| 48683 I think it best that we go on alone. |
| 48684 Ooo, you're an uppity one. I bet you're a firebrand when your anger is... aroused. |
| 48685 I do not care for your tone, woman. |
| 48686 So be it. Bye bye, mon cowboy. |
| 48687 I think it best that we go on alone. |
| 48688 Commendable acceptance of your fate, sir. I leave you to it. |
| 48689 *sigh* I tells ye, what I wouldn't give t' be able to just twiddle me fingers and conjure up some fish. The fishin's just been too bloody hard lately. |
| 48690 I would have liked to stay. Please, at least avenge my friends and destroy the Shade Lord. I shall return to my home in Trademeet. Farewell and good luck. |
| 48691 You free the inmates and prepare for your battle with Irenicus. |
| 48692 If that is the limit of your imagination when it comes to magic, fool, then it is no wonder your countrymen are idiotic enough to outlaw it! |
| 48693 I think I should like to walk through this place when we no longer need anything from the devil we know. |
| 48694 Perhaps it is a result of your blasphemy that the gods deny you prosperity! Get yourself to a temple, commoner, and pray for forgiveness for your vile mouth! |
| 48695 Aaaah, the gods must have somethin' against me, truly. I work an' work, but we be nothin' ever but poor, poor, poor! Bloody gods! |
| 48696 I'm happy that you've returned. Shall I rejoin you now? |
| 48697 I would be happy to have you in my party. |
| 48698 Not at this time. You are safe enough here. I will return if I need you. |
| 48699 Indeed. It is a dark place in need of some cleansing light. |
| 48700 I see you there, gnome! You and your ilk are nothing but drunken garbage, keepin' me husband away all hours of the night with yer tales! Begone! |
| 48701 To the Hells with you, drow! I would not sully myself with your presence! |
| 48702 So be it. I expected nothing else. |
| 48703 I don't even know your husband, ma'am. Or do I? Was he that short fellow who bought the case of turnip beer from me about two weeks back? If that's the case, then you'll find him two blocks west singing "Fair Evermeet" in a poor baritone and falling down constantly... but you didn't hear that from me. |
| 48704 I beg your pardon? I would gather up every vagrant and criminal in the city if I could, dear woman. Would that the world could be changed so easily. |
| 48705 You there! Struttin' around in yer fancy armor! Why doesn't ye go do something useful and gather up all the street thieves and cutpurses, eh?! |
| 48706 Bah! I hear there's books about magic everywhere. They should round them all up and burn them! Eradicate all that vile knowledge forever! |
| 48707 Hmph. I used to love reading at the castle; it's what got me interested in magic. I can't imagine knowledge being destroyed... it just seems so wrong! |
| 48708 Uncle Quayle showed me so many wonderful things about magic, I... I can't even imagine a world without it. It would be so... so mundane. |
| 48709 You know... everything that's gone wrong with the world is due to magic. I believe we'd all be better off if it were all gone. |
| 48710 Indeed, I will agree with that. Justice is rarely harsh enough for most to have its memory last longer than a moment. A true pity. |
| 48711 There be no justice in the world. If there were, there'd be no thieves, I think. |
| 48712 Well, he were askin' for it, halfling! Put his wee hand into me pockets, he did, so I had to remove it with me axe. An' I'll thank ye not to bring it up again. |
| 48713 Me? No, Boo would never allow such a thing! My sword is meant only for being firmly planted in the heart of evil! |
| 48714 Y-you! I remember you! You sliced poor cousin Bobby into ribbons three weeks ago! Eeeek! |
| 48715 Y-you... you're awfully big, even for a big person. You aren't going to hurt a little halfling like... like me, are you? |
| 48716 Greetings to you, faithful Anomen. I trust that all goes well in the Order? |
| 48717 Greetings to you... Wh-what is this? You bring a dark elf into the house of the Watcher? Why would you do this?! |
| 48718 It goes well enough, Guardian. I am eager to take my test, but until then, I am content in the service of the Great Guard, proving my name with my fellow adventurers here. |
| 48719 Shar and your unsleeping god are often at odds, priest, but I seek no conflict here. I will be out of your worried sight before you begin a fit, so do not agitate yourself. |
| 48720 Greetings to you, Sir Keldorn. We are honored to have a servant of Torm walk these halls. You are well known amongst your Order, and Helm respects those with such a devotion to duty. |
| 48721 The honor is mine, Guardian. Helm holds a special place in the hearts of all who join the Order. |
| 48722 Helm watch me, but I was sure I just had me coin purse just a minute ago! Where could it have gone? |
| 48723 Aye now... you there... ye almost looks like an elf t' me, but there is something strange about you. Are ye from far away, perhaps? |
| 48724 Hmmm... you wouldn't be talking about this purse, would you? I just found it on the ground. It's got quite a hefty clink to it. You should be a little more, ah, careful... |
| 48725 Aye, berk. I am from far and farther away than a simple man like you could likely imagine. If my countenance disturbs you, forgive me... my kind are rarer than red diamonds here. |
| 48726 Well, I'll be... ye're the bloody gnome I bought that gizmo from! Fourteen coppers and the blasted thing doesn't even work! Give me my money back, ye thief! |
| 48727 Er... no... |
| 48728 You there... in them dirty leathers... ye aren't one of them Corthalas, are ye? I thought ye and yer kind were all dead an' buried by now. Least, that's what I've heard. |
| 48729 Now, now. Did you go and oil it every morning like I told you to? |
| 48730 Then what are you blaming ME for? Hair restoration is a very delicate process, you know. Go back and try oiling it, and after another week, if it still doesn't work... why, then you'll be more than entitled to a full refund! |
| 48731 *sigh* No... not all of us are dead, not yet. Hold your celebration until after I pass on, if you please. |
| 48732 Hm... you there, miss! Didn't I see ye in the circus down in Riatavin? But... ye had, ah... |
| 48733 Y-you... I remember you there! You're that wizard that... ah... |
| 48734 Wings. That must have been quite some time ago. But, yes, I had wings... and you can stop staring at me, please. |
| 48735 Ye-eeessss. If you value your hide, you'll forget me quickly and completely. (Blast! So the fireball DID miss him!) |
| 48736 Hmph. I don't think much of the Order of the so-called Radiant Heart. It seems to me like nothin' more than a bunch of blowhards who ride around in plate mail. |
| 48737 You would if you had need of our aid, little one. We protect the weak and bring justice to the wicked. You would do well to remember that. |
| 48738 *grunt* Uh! You! You give me money... ALL money... NOW! |
| 48739 *grunt* Uh! You! You give me |
| 48740 Unlikely, brute! Your ichor will dirty the ground before I allow you to rob anyone else! |
| 48741 Suddenly me axe feels like ogre blood, it does! Har har! |
| 48742 Hmmm... you look like a big strong fella there. How about it, darling? Care for a trip down avenues of pleasure you've never imagined? |
| 48743 Oooo... I think I've seen you before. You in the leather. Weren't you in the scouts? You have such... muscles... I think I'd love to see you again! |
| 48744 Do you speak to ME?! Begone, harlot! I'll hear none of that vile poison that spills from your tongue! Begone! |
| 48745 Enough, wench. Don't tire yourself... I'm not interested. |
| 48746 I'm not interested in a woman who has lain with every man in Amn and then some. As for the prostitute, she doesn't do it for me either. |
| 48747 Not interested in her, or not interested in women? I do so wonder, ranger, if even my charms could illicit a response on behalf of females everywhere... |
| 48748 Ahhh, I must admit I've always thought fondly of dwarves... with just a little bit o' coin, short one, I'll have yer beard curled and yer toes quivering... |
| 48749 You there... you look like the kind of man who could appreciate a good time! How about it? |
| 48750 Hah! I oft like me girlies struggling a bit an' spittin' in me eye, but I'll keep ye in mind, lass. |
| 48751 That sounds like an interesting offer, my good woman, but I'm a fair bit preoccupied at the moment. Perhaps later, when I'm alone. |
| 48752 Trouble, eh? I shall show you trouble, vile thief! |
| 48753 *sigh* Really, <CHARNAME>... is there not a more legitimate place for you to make your purchases? |
| 48754 Ah! 'Tis always pleasant to meet a friend in this strange city of yours. Aye... I have been absent from the halls of the playhouse for quite some time. |
| 48755 Nay, friend. I have no need at the current time. But the sparrow shall return anon, when the moment's right. Not to worry... our deal persists yet. |
| 48756 Well, I'll be... if it isn't Haer'Dalis himself! I haven't seen you about in the bridge for quite some time, come to think of it! |
| 48757 So... were you looking for your usual, then, my good actor friend? |
| 48758 So... what's your deal with Haer'Dalis, anyway? |
| 48759 Eh... well, that's between him and me, my <LADYLORD>, and I'll thank you not to ask me about it further. |
| 48760 I don't pry into your business, berk, do I? Tsk, for shame. |
| 48761 Um... you're an elven lady, aren't you? Why are you always frowning? |
| 48762 I... I am not always frowning, I... oh, go away, child. Why are the children of this city so annoying? |
| 48763 MY MOTHER SAYS THAT DARK ELVES SHOULD BE HANGED UNLESS THEY'RE NAMED DRIZZT! |
| 48764 MY MOTHER SAYS GNOMES ARE GROWN FROM DIRT! |
| 48765 *sigh* So what else is new? |
| 48766 Your mother wouldn't happen to be married to Uncle Scratchy, would she? Sounds about the right temperament... |
| 48768 Oh, ah... Elanda. Aye. Well, you see, my sunflower, it is not what you think, truly... |
| 48769 Well, actually... |
| 48770 What? Wait, don't tell me. You've been held hostage by a wizard, and he wouldn't let you out or even write a letter?! |
| 48771 That's it! We are through! Begone from my sight, cur! |
| 48772 Oh! Oh no... I remember you! You with the fast hands and the promises! Where have YOU been for the last month, hmm? |
| 48773 *sigh* 'Tis the way of all things, I suppose. Fare thee well, my little sunflower. |
| 48774 I have paid out a huge amount of gold; tell me how I can find Imoen. |
| 48776 Hey! Watch where you're walking, dwarf! All that metal clanking around on you just knocked over my ale! |
| 48777 Someone let a dark elf in here?! What, are we just gonna let this happen? Come on, everyone... jump her! Come on! |
| 48778 Well, excuse me, then. Perhaps I should be guttin' ye with me axe an' then ye'll worry less about yer precious ale, aye? |
| 48779 Calm yourself, rivvil. I intend no harm to any of you unless you strike the first blow. Then things will get bloodier than you will like, I assure you. |
| 48780 I think I've seen you somewhere before, handsome... you are one of the actors, aren't you? From the Five Flagons? |
| 48781 Mmmm, now who is this big fellow? Such big muscles, and those scars... my, my. You must have seen manyâ€â€ah! What is that?! A RAT?! |
| 48782 This sparrow does hail from the troupe you describe, madam... or at least I did once. But I am only a visitor here for a time and am not planning on staying. Excuse me. |
| 48783 WHERE?! Where is there a rat? Oh, you have frightened Boo with your screeching. Calm yourself, Boo. See? We are leaving the loud woman. |
| 48784 Restoration |
| 48785 Hello, my good smilin' Mazzy! By Brandobaris's stealthy feet, I don't think I've seen you in ages! |
| 48786 Samuel... Samuel Thunderburp. Greatest fighter of Highdale and renowned rapscallion. Yes, indeed it has been a long time. |
| 48787 How have you been faring, then? Last I heard, you had hooked up with Patrick and his band up in... what? Trademeet? Did you all part ways? |
| 48788 Patrick is dead, Samuel. They all are. I would be myself were I not rescued by <CHARNAME> here from the clutches of a creature of most foul evil. |
| 48789 Aye. May the Black Hound watch over them. They have been buried and honored, Samuel... for that, at least, I am thankful. |
| 48790 Patrick is... oh, Mazzy, that's terrible. *sigh* May the Black Hound watch over them, then, and guide them to their final peace. |
| 48791 That's good. Well, I have you to thank, <CHARNAME>, for saving my favorite halfling paladin. Here, a pair of my old adventuring boots. More use to you than me. |
| 48792 As for you, Mazzy, it's good to see you again. Say hello to Thalia if you get the chance... and don't be a stranger! |
| 48793 I won't, Samuel. Some other time, then. |
| 48794 Oho! Well, hello there, stranger. I haven't seen you about for quite some time! |
| 48795 A fair greeting to you as well, my diminutive friend. Aye, I have been absent for a lengthy period... not at all according to my own wishes, I assure you. |
| 48796 Huh. Well, there's been several people comin' by to look for you, not to mention your actor friends were all concerned. |
| 48797 People have been looking for me? Aye? |
| 48798 Yup, you were missed. Pretty woman just the other day... oh, yes, and a tall fellow dropped this off for you. Told me to pass his thanks on to you. |
| 48799 A diamond, hm? Well, the berk must have liked it very much indeed. Thank you, goodman Thunderburp, you are a giant of courtesy and a gentleman besides. |
| 48800 Ha! And flattery like that might just get you a free ale. On your way now, you strange big 'un, you. |
| 48801 Monks cannot use two-handed weapons. |
| 48802 Eh? Yoshimo? I thought ye were dead, I did! |
| 48803 Your attributes are inadequate to use this item. |
| 48804 Oh, ah... excuse me, I ah... |
| 48805 Inadequate Strength |
| 48806 Inadequate Intelligence |
| 48807 Inadequate Constitution |
| 48808 Inadequate Wisdom |
| 48809 Inadequate Charisma |
| 48810 Inadequate Dexterity |
| 48811 Inadequate level |
| 48812 Spawn Clones |
| 48813 Dead? I? I don't know where you get your information, friend, but it's obviously not from a reputable source. |
| 48814 Hmm... wait one moment... do I know you? |
| 48815 I see. A Zhentish agent, if I recall, but one of no consequence. Pay him no heed, <CHARNAME>. |
| 48816 Er... no, no, I don't think so. I must be going, actually... |
| 48817 Nalia? Is that you? Nalia de'Arnise? And you're... hanging about with this rabble, are you? |
| 48818 Yes. And you're still an arrogant, cheap, petty aristocrat, are you? Stick it up your ear, my "lord." |
| 48819 What are ye doin' all got up like a backpack salesman, girl? Yes, you there with th' ears, missy. Ye should be findin' a man and settling down to raise babes! |
| 48820 Ach, I see ye've given up the sale of turnips, gnome. A sad thing. I always cared for yer turnips... fresh as anythin', 'ey were. |
| 48821 Raising... raising babies? I... I just started seeing something of the world beyond the circus. One step at a time is good enough for me! |
| 48822 It's always a sad thing to disappoint a good customer. Aunty Kylie can still sell you some fine Jansen turnips, though, never fear... much as I hate passing on a customer to someone else. Oooo, this adventuring had better be worth it! |
| 48823 Now, there... aren't ye just the sweetest halfling a man's gotta lay eyes on? Ye comes here often, does ye? |
| 48824 Ach... ye're pretty like an angel, ye are, miss. Would... would ye do me the honor of taking me hand in marriage? |
| 48825 Oh, please. I may not be much of one for taverns and other such places like this, but that must be the lamest approach I have ever endured. Return to your spirits, lout. |
| 48826 Marriage? You must be drunk! I'm... flattered, a little. Ah... now y-you're... vomiting. A-all right, I'm a little less flattered now. |
| 48827 Ahhh, if it isn't the sweet Nalia de'Arnise! It is so good to see you within the city, my dear! Is Delcia with you? I'd SO love to talk with her! |
| 48828 Sir Keldorn, is that you? How wonderful to see you! How are your two sweet girls...? Fine, I hope? |
| 48829 I recall Aunty mentioning that when last you two met, you spilled tea on her dress on purpose, and I find your asking after her now rather insulting. Excuse me. |
| 48830 They are well, although I fear I do not see them enough. Duty calls, as it ever does, my lady. |
| 48831 I remember you. Valygar, right? You were one of the scouts I shipped back from the Moonshaes once. |
| 48832 Pirate Horn |
| 48833 Pirate Horn |
| 48834 I'm surprised you remember. That was two years ago. Belle, isn't it? Captain Belle? Good to see you again. |
| 48835 Aye. I remember all who come aboard my ship... especially handsome swarthy rangers. My ship's ever in need of a strong hand, Valygar, should you someday tire of the landlocked life. |
| 48836 An... intriguing offer, Captain. I'll have to keep that in mind. |
| 48837 Wow! Mazzy Fentan! I remember you! |
| 48838 Yup. You just wait... I'll be renowned as the greatest halfling sorcerer around Faerûn in years to come! Just you wait! |
| 48839 Hey! You there! Tall lady! Did you look down at me! Huh? Didja?! That isn't very nice, ya know! |
| 48840 Ah... Jerry. I remember you too, from that rather... tiresome... encounter we had in Scornubel. Still attempting to learn magic, are you? |
| 48841 But... but I HAVE to look down at you. You're, uh... shorter than I am, sir. I, ah... oh, forget it. |
| 48842 Algor |
| 48843 Odd. I was sure almost every ogre I'd ever met deserved nothing more than a sword in its gut... but this one seems not only civilized but quite intelligent. |
| 48844 Ah... yes. Ha. I suppose you're right. |
| 48845 I'm not deaf either. I used to think the same things about you humans, but you seem to be able to put a sentence together. |
| 48846 Move along now. I'm waiting for someone, and I don't need them scared off. |
| 48847 What in the six Hells?! PFFAAAUGHH! I'll not be the one t' carry th' blasted gong if it be reeking of dung! I swear, I'll wring that blasted lout's neck for this indignity! |
| 48848 Sorry to have bothered you. |
| 48849 And what if I don't want to leave? |
| 48850 I wanted to speak with you. We have a mutual friend. |
| 48851 Never said you had to leave the bar, just don't bother me. Plenty of room for everyone. |
| 48852 *sniff* Ahh, even Boo cringes from such a foul odor. Surely this instrument will never make beautiful music again. |
| 48853 Ew... ewwww, <CHARNAME>, put something over it at least! Acch, I had enough of these stenches when I was in the circus! *cough* *cough* |
| 48854 No trouble. Good day to you. |
| 48855 Filthy slaver. |
| 48856 I doubt this is so. Whom is it that you claim you know? |
| 48857 Sorry, I must have confused you with someone else. |
| 48858 Sorry, I must have confused you with someone else. |
| 48859 Barg, the pirate. |
| 48860 Isaea Roenall. Certainly you know him. |
| 48861 Wait a moment. I do know you. Oh, but you have some nerve to show your face to me! |
| 48862 You killed Captain Haegan! You were clearly described to me! Come for another slaver, have you? Well, I'll not go without a fight! |
| 48863 Barg? Sorry, but I've no scraps to give you. Tell that soused fool to stop sending beggars my way. |
| 48864 Right. Sorry. I'll be going. |
| 48865 Right. Sorry. I'll be going. |
| 48866 Wait, I know Isaea Roenall as well. |
| 48867 Well, indeed I do know Isaea Roenall. I know him well enough that he would never tell our dealings to another person! |
| 48868 Who are you?! Some trussed-up guard trying to trick me? Trying to con yourself a slaver? |
| 48869 Probably have the place surrounded, don't you?! Well, I won't let this come to pass without a fight! |
| 48870 Excuse me? What would cause you to say that, friend? |
| 48871 Our mutual friend, Isaea Roenall. |
| 48872 No reason. I'll be going now. |
| 48873 No reason. I'll be going now. |
| 48874 Not a chance, friend! I don't know what's going on here, but I'm pretty sure you know more than you should about me! |
| 48875 Andante |
| 48876 Andante |
| 48877 Are you insane? Now we lower ourselves to becoming... enforcers! Bah! My knowledge is not best used collecting the debts of others... for free! |
| 48878 Dirbish the Black |
| 48879 Nothing is wrong about helping one obtain justice. No doubt this "Dennis" thinks himself strong enough to ignore the debt he has incurred. Come, let us follow. |
| 48880 Dirbish the Black |
| 48881 I do not know why we must involve ourselves constantly in the problems of others, <CHARNAME>. Are there not more important things for us to do? *sigh* Have it your way. |
| 48882 Hmph. I see where this is going... |
| 48883 Maybe... maybe we could just take a look for it, <CHARNAME>. There's no reason that this man should be hurt over this... |
| 48884 I do not support this Vittorio's actions, but I cannot stand by and watch him hurt. If we do not look for this... this gong... then we must stop the captain from exacting vengeance. |
| 48885 Well... maybe we should just try looking for this gong, <CHARNAME>. How long could it take? I don't want to see anyone get hurt over it if we can do something. |
| 48886 Tell me again why we are doing this thing, <CHARNAME>? We are going to wander down into the filthy sewers to find a man who has this thing? I say let the drunkard die. |
| 48887 You are a filthy, evil wench, drow. I say let you die, and better yet on the end of my sword. <CHARNAME> allows you to remain, but I say you shall do so silently if at all! |
| 48888 You're horrid, Viconia! I know you're a drow, but... try to have some compassion! This... this won't take long! |
| 48889 Ah, yes. The infamous capacity for drow compassion is revealed once again. Ignore her, <CHARNAME>, and let us get this task over with quickly. |
| 48890 Ahhhh, I can see the bards singing it now: "The Quest for the Gong"! The life of a drunkard lies in the balance as <CHARNAME> and <PRO_HISHER> band of merry adventurers strive to retrieve fenced stolen musical goods from the depths of the sewers! The passion! The excitement! It brings a tear to my eye. *sniff!* Not since Uncle Gerhardt went on a four-day turnip-beer bender and mistook Uncle Scratchy for a griffon was I ever part of such a grandiose story. |
| 48891 Aye, just think of the scratch I'll gain by turning in a no-good traitor like yourself! Guards! This man plots against you! |
| 48892 You, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, are a true druid and friend of the land. You have earned the blessing of the grove, and I present to you the Staff of Thunder and Lightning. |
| 48893 And while you are thinking, you can also imagine what I will gain by turning you in. Guard! Do you ignore this?! |
| 48894 This is a pointless undertaking, <CHARNAME>, even for you. Let us dispense with this matter quickly if you are going to do it at all. |
| 48896 Oh, speak quietly, please! I cannot help you, but I do not wish to see more death... Oh no, you were heard! |
| 48897 We will do nothing of the sort, <CHARNAME>. This fool is discovered even now. Look. |
| 48898 Rest within the grove, and the spirit will come to offer blessing. Do this when you are ready to accept the joyous burden the spirit offers. Remember to pick up any equipment that was dropped before the challenge. |
| 48899 With Faldorn gone, we shall require a guiding hand. I hope that you accept if the grove deems you worthy. Again, I thank you! |
| 48900 No! I cannot stand by and watch this man Vittorio be murdered in front of my eyes for nothing more than a debt! I must intervene! |
| 48901 Ah, Berinvar, <CHARNAME> is not a Harper, but I certainly am. Will you treat my guests as friends and answer? I assume the guardians are spectral harpists? |
| 48902 They... they attack this funny man? Why?! This evil must be stopped with generous doses of sword-swinging! Come, Boo, we go for the eyes! |
| 48903 You can't just stand by and watch this, <CHARNAME>! And neither can I, I won't allow it! |
| 48904 Nilthiri |
| 48905 I am sorry, Jaheira, but it is just not appropriate to speak of this. |
| 48906 Nilthiri |
| 48907 He and the others seem preoccupied with the trinkets around their necks. I find it odd I have not heard of this before now. Harpers do not often wear symbols to make themselves *more* noticeable. |
| 48908 Save your ridicule. I for one will not lament the refusal of stolen property. On another day, I would demand it all returned, but... but our greater cause must be considered. |
| 48909 Aye! Great! BLASTED BLOODY WONDERFUL! Aye, let's take on bloody TROLLS to get this gong... for NO REWARD, mind ye! I say we go back to yon tavern and kick his BLOODY ARSE! |
| 48910 Take no mind of her, <CHARNAME>. Always been a bit surly to newcomers... I'm sure. |
| 48911 Hmm. It may be a bit far afield to retrieve this gong, but I'm willing to pledge my sword against a troll any day. The death of such evil is a service, no matter the quest. |
| 48912 *chuckle* The plot thickens, my raven! What would you like to wager, do you suppose, that the elusive gong is no longer in the possession of this shaman either? I am most curious to see! |
| 48913 Are we gonna pass on some deals just because they are out of their owner's hands? Bah! We soften too much! |

| 48917 Chaos |
| 48918 Despicable creature! <CHARNAME>, walking about this place requires more restraint than any paladin should be forced to bear. |
| 48919 Aye. It grieves all of us that good men could come to such a pass... but the seed of corruption lies in us all. We must remain vigilant always in our struggle against it. |
| 48920 I do swear, if it were not for our overall cause, I should have to act. I shall make a point of coming here on my own in future. |
| 48921 This is almost more than I can bear. I will make a point of returning to this place with a troop of cleansing light once our association is no longer a necessity. |
| 48922 Hmph. Such manner of base scum should be put to death, in my opinion. To be a fully sworn paladin and to turn your back on your sworn oaths is inconceivable. |
| 48923 Child of the woods, I welcome you. The land and the grove both have suffered and have been soothed by your actions. |
| 48924 This person makes me ill. <CHARNAME>, I suggest we move on before I ignore the greater balance and return him to the dust. |
| 48925 It is sad that even the fair knights of the Order could fall sway to the darker temptations of the soul. But what does this have to do with us, Sir Ryan? |
| 48926 No doubt you have plied your trade on good folk as well in the past. Your balance will come in the end. Nothing goes unpunished. |
| 48927 'Ey, that's my motto too. Good on you, m'lady. |
| 48928 Is this justice? His crimes may well have been vile, but this is... just horrible. Let's go, <CHARNAME>. Please? |
| 48929 Harsh justice indeed. Perhaps death was deserved, but in this manner? |
| 48930 Spear of Withering +4 |
| 48931 Who are you? What are you? |
| 48932 I am happy to be of service. You would be the spirit of the grove? |
| 48933 I seek to bring balance to all that I find. |
| 48934 I am the spirit of the grove, child. I am the water, the earth, the trees, and the sun. I am life and death: the eternal cycle. |
| 48935 How is it that you can speak? |
| 48936 What would you have of me? |
| 48937 Excellent! An open invitation to fling spells at paladins, former or not! (With luck, I can convince <CHARNAME> to let me play with one!) |
| 48938 By the Wyrm of Avarice! 'Tis a grand day when me axe gets to bite into the over-cured armor of these oh-so-superior holy warriors! Let us be off, for I grow anxious for battle! |
| 48939 Fallen or not, these men are former comrades of mine. I pity where their life's journey has taken them. This shall not be a pleasant task. |
| 48940 The call of the druid is never easy, and your tasks are but beginning. The grove will extend its blessing to you if you will take up the mantle of leadership. |
| 48941 A <PRO_MANWOMAN> who serves the cause of balance is needed. The grove requires leadership, a gentle hand. Will you serve the grove as such? |
| 48942 Justice has reached you, Sir Anarg. I pity what you have become... It is time for this to end! |
| 48943 I am honored to be chosen, spirit. How is it that I can serve nature? |
| 48944 If you cannot meet justice on your knees, fool, it shall be plunged deep into your heart where it belongs! |
| 48945 There is much that I need to accomplish outside of the grove. I am not sure that I can spare the time to be effective for you. |
| 48946 Heroes of goodness need no warning! Where we tread, evil trembles in our wake! |
| 48947 Hah! Any fool who'd dare to think of me an' <CHARNAME> as a target, rich or nae, is a fool begging to have his innards brought out to meet the sun, and that be the truth. |
| 48948 My thanks for the offer, but I cannot accept it. |
| 48949 That sounds... horrid. I can't imagine anything so awful! Why would someone want to do such a thing?! |
| 48950 It sounds like the work of a very sadistic person. We should look into this, <CHARNAME>... perhaps we could find clues where others could not. |
| 48951 The confines of the city do much to chisel at the sanity of its inhabitants, but I wonder if there is some other force at work. We had best be wary. |
| 48952 <CHARNAME>! Oh! Couldn't you spare just ONE coin? Hrmph! |
| 48953 Save your trickery of words, beggar. The weak are not deserving of charity. |
| 48954 <CHARNAME>! How could you turn your back on the less fortunate? They deserve our help. |
| 48955 Oh yes... we've braved monsters, Flaming Fist, Sarevok's assorted minions, only to fall to a sneak-thief with an over-fondness for flesh. Excellent deduction. |
| 48956 You needn't worry on our part, lieutenant. From what I've seen, <CHARNAME> and <PRO_HISHER> allies can protect themselves from just about anything. |
| 48957 Are we to reward the weak? Such a thing would not be tolerated under my leadership. |
| 48958 Hrrmm...? What are ye doin' marchin' about with all yer fancy gear? Ye're plannin' to kill somebody, aren't ye?! |
| 48959 I would rather have given a sword. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach a man to fight and he can chow down on the meaty marrow of evil! |
| 48960 I'm not sure the lieutenant should go alone. We have evidence of the culprit, but we know nothing of his ability. There may be danger we are not aware of. |
| 48961 Are... are you sure it's safe to just let him go off like that? What if the murderer hurts him? Oh, I don't like this at all! |
| 48962 I disapprove of charity. The man should be trained and outfitted that he might provide for himself. |
| 48963 He is going off on his own to confront the murderer, that tanner? Brave. Or perhaps foolish. I wonder which it is. |
| 48964 You'll find I am more than able to deflect the wrath of your mad faith, Cyricist! |
| 48965 Oh ho! A wondrous display of pure fanaticism! Reminds me of home, wherever that is. |
| 48966 Aarrghhh! |
| 48967 His work?! What does he speak of? Quickly, <CHARNAME>, we must stop him before he escapes! |
| 48968 Wha-aat? This is the evil man who steals skins?! He must be stopped! He must be stopped, or all who have skins will sleep in fear! |
| 48969 We shall answer your attack, though even Boo sees no sense in it! |
| 48970 You lack balance, friend. It will be your end, I fear. |
| 48971 You cannot go far, murderer! Justice has arrived to claim your black, filthy soul and not a moment too soon! |
| 48972 Do not tempt such fools even in jest, <CHARNAME>! They know no other answer than this! |
| 48973 Madness! The single-minded nature of the Rashemi, but with even less sense! |
| 48974 I know that you said what you did to avoid confrontation, but we should not even jest about such allegiance. Tempting the gods is not wise. |
| 48975 <CHARNAME>, please avoid tempting the gods of darkness. I search for favor, but not at such a cost to my soul. |
| 48976 This... this place smells heavily of death, <CHARNAME>, and the evidence of it is all around us. Step carefully, for I believe we enter the workshop sanctum of a madman. |
| 48977 Ah, yes! The tanner's workshop. What a wonderful display these entrails make. Hmph. I wonder what the exact nature of his "work" is. This should be interesting... |
| 48978 Carefully, <CHARNAME>... we enter the lair of a most foul beast. It is his nature, no doubt, to protect this place with traps... we should not be overhasty! |
| 48979 Oh! Oh... the st-stench! Baervan preserve us, this is wh-where he brings all his victims?! Th-they're all dead here! |
| 48980 Helm protect us... I can feel the aura of evil here. The wrongfully killed linger... and no doubt the beast has trapped this place well. Step carefully, I warn you. |
| 48981 This place is... is terrible! What sort of, of "work" is this man up to?! Are... are those bodies?! Pfaugh! The st-stench! |
| 48982 I have little doubt, <CHARNAME>, that we will also find Lieutenant Aegisfield somewhere herein... Hopefully, the man is still alive. |
| 48983 That foolish inspector who ran off... what was the rivvil's name? No matter. We shall find his useless carcass somewhere about, I would think. |
| 48984 I have little doubt as well that we shall make a grim discovery here of the inspector's body. Let us hope that I am wrong and that the man has escaped a horrid fate. |
| 48985 Ah, yes. *sigh* The body of the unfortunate inspector. We must bring his body to the authorities when we can. The government building in the Government District would have someone who can... take him from us. |
| 48986 A grim discovery, for the lieutenant seemed an honorable man. When we can, we should turn his body over to the authorities in the Government District. |
| 48987 Ahhh... the inspector. If you're of a mind, we can likely turn him over to Brega in the government building in the Government District. I can't think of anywhere else to bring him. |
| 48988 We're... we're partly responsible for this. We sent him here, <CHARNAME>. We should... turn him over to someone, maybe in the Government District, I don't know. |
| 48989 Always do I speak. But I do not always allow myself to be heard. Listen to my words, then, child of nature. |
| 48990 Bless you, child! Nature does truly smile upon you. There is much work to be done. Listen and learn the path of balance, the path of the Eternal Cycle. |
| 48991 If such is your wish, the grove shall not hold you. Return to the road and follow what paths you must. You are always welcome here, even if it is not to be your home. Farewell. |
| 48992 The cycles of nature move slowly, child. You shall have what time you need to fulfill your purpose outside of the grove. |
| 48993 In that case, I am honored that the grove finds me worthy. |
| 48994 Still, I haven't the time to spare. |
| 48995 The stone commands, and I must obey. This armor is the gift to those of sound mind. A puzzle. A riddle. A reward. Thus was my home built, and I have fulfilled my duties. You are doing well, <GABBER>. |
| 48996 Magnet |
| 48997 Magnet |
| 48998 Neb's Head |
| 48999 Neb's Head |
| 49000 This is the head of Neb the gnome. Rarely has a more despicable being roamed the land. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 49001 Aha! I knew there had to be reinforcements down here. Couldn't be that powerful by himself, I said! |
| 49002 I'll just put an end to this here and now. We'll see the end of Irenicus and your little guild war before this day is through. |
| 49003 Guild war? What are you talking about? I just want out of this dungeon. |
| 49004 I don't know who you are, but unless you want to die, you'll get out of my way. |
| 49005 Are you responsible for me being here? I want some answers. |
| 49006 I am no friend of Irenicus. I will fight him with you. |
| 49007 Life is sacred, and this sacredness is rooted in balance: predator and prey, rain and sun, birth and death. A time of unbalance has gone with the passing of Faldorn, but a new break in the cycle arises. |
| 49008 Long have the trolls of the mound lived beneath the protection of the grove. But a new leader has arisen. |
| 49009 You can talk all you wish, but it will do you no good. Everyone in this place has either attacked or tried to lie their way into my confidence. |
| 49010 I have no reason to lie. I just want out of here. |
| 49011 Then fight or stand aside. If I am close to freedom, I will not wait for anyone. |
| 49012 But I have been a prisoner of Irenicus! I will help fight him! |
| 49013 Perhaps I can help your cause. What is this guild war you mentioned? |
| 49014 You'll not escape without a battle here. Your master dies above, and you shall join him! |
| 49015 And I shall deliver you. Fall upon our blades and spells, and you shall be free. You and Irenicus will fall and then the war is won! |
| 49016 I will not believe you. To take an ally from the heart of the beast would be foolish, to say the least. |
| 49017 You will get no answers from me. In a time of war, our secrets must be guarded well. Suffice it to say that your rival guild will not survive. |
| 49018 Nilthiri the shamaness leads the trolls to chaos. She urges them to expand their territory, and she brings more trolls to the mound without thought to the consequences. |
| 49019 If this continues, the trolls will overrun the grove, and nature will suffer. A servant of nature must bring the life cycle of Nilthiri to a close for the good of all. |
| 49020 Will you do this for the grove, child <CHARNAME>? |
| 49021 Jail Cell Key |
| 49022 Kyland Lind |
| 49023 I understand none of this, but if the one who killed Dynaheir is beyond, Boo and Minsc will make short work of you! |
| 49024 Kyland Lind |
| 49025 It is well. This club was left by Marek, the founder of the grove, when his life ended, as all must. It may help you in the battle. |
| 49026 Nilthiri even now performs ceremonies of summoning. She must be stopped. You will find her along the path to the east of the troll mound. |
| 49027 When the deed is done, I shall come to you. Until then, the blessing of the grove is with you. Go and do what you must. |
| 49028 You and your guild die, no matter your words! |
| 49029 I am honored to be chosen, spirit. I shall bring about Nilthiri's death, and balance will be restored. |
| 49030 You are mistaken, but I care not! Khalid will be avenged whether you stand aside willingly or not! |
| 49031 Trolls are evil creatures! Why should they all not die? |
| 49032 I cannot do this. |
| 49033 Trolls too are the sons and daughters of nature. They have their place within this realm as long as balance remains. |
| 49034 Very well. I shall bring about Nilthiri's death, and balance will be restored. |
| 49035 Get out of my way! I don't want to fight any of you; I just want to leave! |
| 49036 I refuse to perform this task. |
| 49037 The grove has need of you, druid. Do you truly wish to let such a problem fester? |
| 49038 That may be, but still I haven't the time to help. |
| 49039 If it is as urgent as you say, I will help. |
| 49040 Your careless meanderings across the great Mother Earth will not go unpunished. |
| 49041 We have fought as our mistress commanded us. Now we surrender, to return to the woods and to restore the balance. |
| 49042 The deed is done, and the delicate scales of balance have shifted for the time being. You have done well, child of nature. |
| 49043 I make no illusions about what will be required of you. I will wish you to kill, and I will wish you to terrorize. You must determine if you have the stomach for it. |
| 49044 You are needed beyond the confines of the grove and should go for a time. But let not too many weeks pass before you return to the grove. You may be needed here again soon. |
| 49045 When you do return, sleep within the grove itself and the spirit will come to you if you are needed. Farewell. |
| 49046 This will be a peaceful arrival, relatively speaking. The deaths will be strategic, almost artistic. You will be precise in your bloody strikes. |
| 49047 If this is not to your tastes, then you should decide accordingly. My path will be bloody, and you will not make many friends. |
| 49048 Think well before you act. You would not wish me as an enemy. I offer the chance to revel in the destruction of your masters. Will you take up the bloodied gauntlet? |
| 49049 If you work for me, you oppose a softhearted criminal organization. If you work for them, you oppose... what? Someone "very creepy," as you put it? |
| 49050 Child of nature, you are again needed. Balance is threatened, and Chaos is at the periphery. Will you serve the grove? |
| 49051 Please, this is pointless. I am the better choice. I will give you free reign to do as you will. You will be a force to be feared. |
| 49052 Who dares to interrupt the Calling? Manlings?! You grow bold and will pay in blood! |
| 49053 The woodsie spirit will not defeat the Darker Power of the Mound! Attack! |
| 49054 What do you require of me? |
| 49055 I cannot help the grove. |
| 49056 There is much that you know not about the grove. The story will help you understand the path that must be taken. Listen, child, and learn. |
| 49057 The grove is young in terms of nature and ancient in the years of man. Centuries ago, Marek of Halruaa established a protectorate of nature in these woods. |
| 49058 He brought druids from across the lands to stop the encroachment of "progress" from the "civilized" races. |
| 49059 Marek awakened the soul of the grove, and I am its voice. But since its establishment, the grove has been threatened by forces seeking to bring ruin to the natural order of things. |
| 49060 Oh, were you expecting some great battle while I yelled curses at you? That will come, but not in here. Remove yourselves. |
| 49061 I will take the 15,000 gold now, of course. It is secondary to my concerns, but that was the deal. Now to my tasks. |
| 49062 You need not look surprised. You didn't think they would let you wander about unwatched, did you? |
| 49063 For now, I suggest you move against that ship coming in. They won't be at the docks for long, and if you do not get the cargo in the next few days, you will fail. |
| 49065 And rest assured, I will help you find Imoen, I will help you find Irenicus, but not just for your reasons. I have an interest in Irenicus myself. |
| 49066 *You* want me to find Irenicus? What are you talking about? Are you in league with him? |
| 49067 You must bear this as one of the additional conditions. I offer much, and expect much in return. Imoen and Irenicus will be your joint goal in time. |
| 49068 The details are mine to keep. If you wish more, you must join me. As I said, your duties will be morally suspect, and you may face more enemies than you wish. |
| 49069 I do not concern myself with my brother's self-destructive plans. He angered them as he angers many. Some other experiment gone wrong, perhaps. |
| 49070 Alnarow |
| 49071 15,000 is a lot, but I will compensate you well for it. You will ultimately have Imoen, and a few magical trinkets too. |
| 49072 Damn it! I have traded away a large amount of service! I want answers for my gold! |
| 49073 Symbol, Death |
| 49074 And I am <CHARNAME>, as you know. Now, could we please do what we must? |
| 49075 I apologize if you feel you have been done wrong. I assure you, all that you have paid is being put to good use. |
| 49076 But these things take time. In truth, we have been working long before you gave us the gold. Only a few minor points remain, but they must be addressed. |
| 49077 First and foremost, you will be compensated for the gold you have paid. I will give you several magical items; they are yours to keep regardless of what comes. |
| 49078 Now, I know you are eager to set off after Imoen, and I assure you that the time will come soon. It takes time to allocate the funds, however. |
| 49079 Not too much time, I hope. |
| 49080 I knew it. You have no intention of helping me, do you?! |
| 49081 This delay troubles me. Is there some problem that I am not aware of? |
| 49082 No, no, no, everything is as it should be. There are merely some added difficulties that we have encountered. I regret that I must ask a few tasks of you. |
| 49083 I know, I know, you are tired and have worked hard already. I apologize, but this guild war... it prevents us going further. |
| 49084 Ah, <CHARNAME>, I must admit that the goods aboard would not be met well by the city guards. Weapons mostly, but I defend their use. |
| 49085 The guild we are warring with are not like we. As dark as the Shadow Thieves are, we do not overstep our bounds. This new guild is different. |
| 49086 I will do this, but afterwards you had better deliver what you have promised. |
| 49087 I will do nothing of the sort! I demand you tell me where Imoen is! I paid! |
| 49088 <CHARNAME>, this is a delicate matter, and it *does* involve the guild we are fighting. You will realize this in time. |
| 49089 Examine your options here. By joining us, you have closed other doors. Attending to the tasks I ask is the only way to achieve your goal. |
| 49090 I will leave you to decide, but the docks await. Go there when you come to the only conclusion possible. Go at night and find Mook. |
| 49091 If you seek the moral high ground in this matter, it is indeed with the Shadow Thieves. A surprising thing, but I assure you that I am true to my word. |
| 49092 If a leader of the druids you truly wish to be, you must help nature fight her enemies. |
| 49093 What can I do to help? |
| 49094 Still, I must refuse the honor. |
| 49095 Go on. |
| 49096 I wish to hear no more of this tale. |
| 49097 If one has no knowledge of history, then one will never learn from the experience of the past. A druid should know the importance of this. |
| 49098 In that case, please go on. |
| 49099 Still, I do not wish to listen to any more of this. |
| 49100 Marek and the grove drew many good men and women to these parts to serve as protectors. But it also drew forth the evil that lies in Amn in some measure. |
| 49101 Marek knew that he had been identified as our leader... and he set in motion the events that have led to your being here today. |
| 49102 Marek established a hierarchy that would assume leadership after his passing. Then he established wards of enormous strength to protect the grove from harm. |
| 49103 Symbol, Stun |
| 49104 The Palace |
| 49105 Marek's strength and spirit came from a perfect understanding of the earth. This spirit could not be destroyed and has always been here in the grove as a silent partner to nature. |
| 49106 Before his passing, Marek had a wife and child. When he knew that he must die for the grove, he had them taken far away for their own protection. |
| 49107 Now, as Marek knew would someday happen, his descendants have returned and old enemies marshal their forces. A child called Loren has recently arrived in Trademeet. |
| 49108 This child is the inheritor of Marek's spirit, but does not yet have the knowledge to use his power. Surely he shall be slain by the forces of chaos if you do not rescue him. |
| 49109 Mook is dead, but the shipment is safe. Now I want what I paid for. |
| 49110 Even now he is alone and in danger, his parents slain by an evil that haunts him. You must find the child Loren in Trademeet and fight Marek's old enemies to save the child's life. |
| 49111 I appreciate your concern, but could we get back to business now? |
| 49112 I will do so at once. |
| 49113 Why can the spirit of the grove do nothing to protect him? |
| 49114 I cannot help this boy. I do not have the time. |
| 49115 The boy is destined to lead this grove once you have moved on, as your own destiny wills. I will come to you when the boy is safe... Go now, and quickly! |
| 49116 Enough of this. I want what I paid for, if you please. |
| 49117 The spirit that once was Marek has gone forth to aid the child... but the spirit is not the power that the man once was and cannot hope to hold out for long. Aid him lest all be lost. |
| 49118 I will go to the child now. |
| 49119 I cannot help this boy. I do not have the time. |
| 49120 The grove believes you to be a leader and a true protector of nature. Do you disregard what is right now and prove this judgment wrong? |
| 49121 I'm sorry, but I cannot help. |
| 49122 I will not fail in my duty. I will go to the child and help him. |
| 49123 Are you the one who has come to... to kill me? I hear you... whispering all the time. I just want it to stop! I want it all to stop! |
| 49124 I care not for your childish fantasies. Move aside, boy! |
| 49125 I just... the darkness said... I'm sorry to bother you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 49126 I am the druid <CHARNAME>, Loren. I am here to save you from these voices. They want to hurt you, but I do not. |
| 49127 Tell me about these voices, child. |
| 49128 How can you save me, <PRO_SIRMAAM>? They killed my parents, and they... they say that they own me now. They say that they're inside of me. I... I can't seem to do anything to get them out! |
| 49129 They won't stop talking to me. They say... they say that they own me... and that they'll kill me and that Marek cannot help me. Are you Marek? They seem to be afraid of him. |
| 49130 Marek is the strength within you, boy. You must fight against the voices. You must cast them out from your body, and I shall do battle with them. |
| 49131 You are a descendant of Marek, who was destroyed by these same spirits that haunt you. |
| 49132 I should go now. |
| 49133 Then I am doomed. They'll kill me just like they killed him... *sob*... I don't want to die, <PRO_SIRMAAM>... please help me! |
| 49134 Marek is the strength within you, boy. His spirit still protects you. You must fight against the voices. You must cast them out from your body, and I shall do battle with them. |
| 49135 Are you stooping to threats? I have more than paid for your help. |
| 49136 Alnarow |
| 49137 I realize your concern, but if we are to succeed, we must first clear the way. I will give you exactly what you need, but this matter must be resolved first. |
| 49138 I cannot help you. Goodbye. |
| 49139 You must fight against the voices. You must cast them out from your body, and I shall do battle with them. Then we shall find a safe place for you. |
| 49140 I will inform you of what must be done for now. You will realize the necessity of it. |
| 49141 I cannot save you, boy. |
| 49142 I will try... They are angry now, the voices. They want you to leave... |
| 49143 Tell them that I won't leave. Tell them to come out and face me. |
| 49144 I will leave. |
| 49145 Aaghh... they're hurting me, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! They say that they'll kill me if you don't leave! |
| 49146 If they could kill you, they would have done it by now. They must fight me. They have no choice. |
| 49147 I will leave. |
| 49148 Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh... |
| 49149 Druid, you play a dangerous game! Chaos will destroy you! |
| 49150 We shall see which one of us is destroyed. |
| 49151 Why do you torment this boy? |
| 49152 Feel true power, druid! |
| 49153 He is ours! Cursed Marek thought to fight us, but we are the Dark Power, the Eternal Power of nature's chaos. We cannot be defeated! The boy will not follow in Marek's footsteps! |
| 49154 Hello, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Thank you for saving me. I... I had almost lost all hope. |
| 49155 I assume you have some plan other than me banging my head against it? |
| 49156 We will need assistance opening it then. |
| 49157 And what am I supposed to do? |
| 49158 What will you do now? |
| 49159 I am happy to help. Goodbye. |
| 49160 I have spoken with... the spirit. I want to become a druid, I guess. It said that I will protect the grove when you have moved on... that I have a destiny here. |
| 49161 I'm on my way, but you had better come through with your part of the bargain. |
| 49162 This is true, Loren. Learn well and stay safe. |
| 49163 It seems we both have a destiny. Hopefully we both succeed. |
| 49164 Thank you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! Farewell! |
| 49165 I give what I can and will honor all my pledges. This rival is a very real hindrance and must be dealt with. I implore you, my intent is genuine. |
| 49166 The Graveyard District is not far. Go, and you will see my gratitude when you return. |
| 49167 And they are the block that prevents your rescue of Imoen. Trust in me, <CHARNAME>, you will not regret it. |
| 49168 We knew of your capture almost as soon as it happened. Very little occurs in this city that we are not aware of. |
| 49169 We paid little mind. Even though it was done outside of the Shadow Thieves, we thought that a simple kidnapping was nothing to be concerned of. |
| 49170 But soon after that, we started losing people. That was when Bodhi appeared, though we did not know her name at the time. |
| 49171 Members were threatened or seduced into her guild. None were seen again. We still don't know where most are. Even her cadre could not have fed on them all. |
| 49172 By chance, a body was found in the sewer, leading us to Irenicus and his strange dungeon. We battled and lost, but the Cowled Wizards took him, as you saw. |
| 49173 I saw your efforts. It was a slaughter. |
| 49174 So you were cheated of revenge as well. |
| 49175 Because of this, I lost significantly more. Imoen remains missing. |
| 49176 We must take partial responsibility for your loss of Imoen, but our chief concern was Irenicus at the time. We still don't know why he killed our guild members. |
| 49177 Victory, <CHARNAME>! Loren lives, and his destiny is intact. And with this, the future of the grove rests easy. Well done. |
| 49178 So we followed you. You were the only living thing to emerge from his prison. We watched your every step and made sure you would be close to us. |
| 49179 The grove senses a dark destiny ahead of you, with much danger both moral and physical. For now, your task is done in the grove. |
| 49180 You wanted someone to lead you to him. So much for charity. |
| 49181 So why all the money then? Why not just interrogate me? |
| 49182 I showed no love for him. You must have seen that. |
| 49183 We had to be sure. We could not let an enemy into the guild when we are so weakened. In truth, your gold was much needed as well. |
| 49184 Soon you may return to fight for ascension within the grove. Until that day comes, I shall not call on you. Go forth and find the path of balance within your life. |
| 49185 We thought you could lead us to him, and you can. You seek Imoen and Irenicus, and we seek answers. They were taken to the same place, you see. |
| 49186 The danger to the grove is passed now, and Loren shall be taken to the grove where he can begin to learn nature's path. We shall await your return. |
| 49187 May the forest always open a path, good druid. Farewell! |
| 49188 Your last victory was hollow. You've only delayed the inevitable. |
| 49189 You must understand balance if you live off the bounty of the earth. The fish will return in time. |
| 49190 Let an old man gripe, son. |
| 49191 I shall say a good word towards the heavens and hope your bounty returns. |
| 49192 Words don't fill the nets, missy. Thanks anyway. |
| 49193 I don't recall asking, small fish. Just ye get out of me wind. |
| 49194 I shall be sure to cry you a river just as soon as I start caring. |
| 49195 I could name a thousand, my friend. My favorite would be a simple stroll. |
| 49196 Ahh, get your soft hands outta here. |
| 49197 No doubt these texts will prove to be an embarrassing legacy, but I must order my thoughts herein lest they spill from my accursed mind. Spellhold is in my control. Once recovered from my torpor, I made short work of what defenses there were. Coordinator Wanev conveniently removed himself, suffering a peculiar reaction to a spell of mine. I forget what it was; perhaps something I heard in the temples of Suldanessellar... does it even matter now? My condition grows worse, and what I remember of my "home" is fleeting. I see images of family whose names I cannot recall and dream of emotions I no longer feel as vividly. On occasion, I sense nature as if she were my mother, as though never removed from her bosom, but such moments are few. I bear the hallmarks of senility with the rage and power of a young elf to lament it. Bodhi endured the curse much better than I do now, but she was more focused and, more importantly, undead. She is now thoroughly seduced by her vampiric condition, despite its previous failure to counteract the death sentence she was under. She had embraced her mortality, excited by the urgency of it, but now she is confused. Imoen's soul has restored her, but her motives remain transparent, even simplistic. She revels in her carnal nature even as the elf within despises the creature she has become. I would pity my "sister" if I were capable, but emotions come to me only in violent outbursts. Ellesime has taken my ability to truly feel, and I am left with the threadbare heart of a human, or some other short-lived vermin. I will not suffer this much longer. Spellhold has met my needs quite well. They had made a practice of experimenting on inmates here for quite some time, though in a barbaric fashion. I refined their instruments and have finished preparing the necessary rituals. I am quite through with Imoen, though she can still serve as bait. I am certain <CHARNAME> will make an appearance sooner or later. Bodhi has delivered more assassins than I had asked for. I disposed of some in advance, but it seems such a waste. I think she has done this on purpose, as she has taken to releasing the extras in the maze below and hunting at her leisure. I marvel at her hunger and how she seems so *alive* in her undeath. Perhaps it is the soul of Imoen. Soon I shall see for myself. <CHARNAME> had best hurry. |
| 49198 Victory! I am restored! <CHARNAME> has given exactly what I needed, exactly as I demanded, and now I see where Bodhi has found such fire! I feel the essence of the gods within me! Damn Ellesime's curse for the weak-minded spell that it was; now I am free. <CHARNAME> did not make proper use of the heritage given <PRO_HIMHER>. Now comes the time of retribution. I will not allow such a crime to go unpunished. The audacity of Ellesime, claiming my punishment was just, and the hypocrisy of "my" people, accepting such an act while decrying mine. I will not let this rest. I will take what I intended, and those that would stand before me will fall as they should. Today is a much better day. I will act at my leisure. |
| 49199 Or we have mistakenly wandered amidst the dirty and reprehensible. |
| 49200 That attitude will do you no good around these parts. |
| 49201 Yes, of course, I'm always interested in a beautiful woman. |
| 49202 Yes, of course, I'm always interested in a beautiful woman. |
| 49203 Yes, of course, I'm always interested in a beautiful woman. |
| 49204 Oh no, I hope you are saying that in jest. This is horrible. This woman deserves better treatment than this. |
| 49205 This will not come to pass in my presence. This young woman is not to be bought and sold like chattel. |
| 49206 I should think not! Child, surely you are better than this? Are you certain of this choice? |
| 49207 Yes, the child had best learn the harshness of life early if it is to survive. |
| 49208 That was unnecessarily harsh. I can see that we shall be at odds more often than not, drow. |
| 49209 Life is too harsh for the little ones. I have come to learn this in my years. |
| 49210 My life's work will be the restoration of the balance that Faldorn so carelessly upset. I thank you for your help and wish you well on your travels. |
| 49211 I've done what I can. The rest is up to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49212 In that case, the price just went up. I want another 500 gold for my services. |
| 49213 Please! I have no additional gold! Everything that I own is in the keep. I'm sure that you will be able to find enough to satisfy yourself. |
| 49214 Then tell me just what we are up against. I must know what I am facing. |
| 49215 That isn't good enough. You'll have to get someone else to help. |
| 49216 I don't care what you're asking. Pay me 500 gold upfront or get out of my sight. |
| 49217 I don't care what you're asking. Pay me 500 gold upfront or get out of my sight. |
| 49218 But... I have no choice. You are cruel, but I am desperate. Here are 186 gold pieces. It is every copper that I own. |
| 49219 Hmph. If that is all that you have... very well. What is the situation? |
| 49220 That will not do. I must have 500. |
| 49221 I will help, but you must pay. I want 500 gold up front. |
| 49223 *cough*... there are... too many... Go back! |
| 49224 I've done what I can. The rest is up to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49225 No! Please! Don't punish me anymore! |
| 49226 Help me! Please! |
| 49227 Groundhog |
| 49228 The deeper you get within the keep, the more trolls and yuan-ti you'll find. Open the bridge, and we will engage them. It may be your only chance. |
| 49229 Hah! Look at th' mealy-faced one o'er there... Ye looks like ye couldn't hold yer own in a tussle with a wet sack, robed one! |
| 49230 Ehhh, I've seen ye in the circus, haven't I, girlie? How about it, then? I've got three coppers for a roll in th' hay, hey? |
| 49231 If that comment was for me, I suggest you rethink it before I have you begging at my feet for mercy. (Hmph! "Mealy-faced"! I am as vital as I ever was!) |
| 49232 H-how rude! You'd better learn some manners, sir... before someone teaches them to you in a way you don't like much! |
| 49233 Hah! I bet ye'll all be robbed an' sent bleedin' an' screamin' from the docks within the hour, sure enough! |
| 49234 Oy! Look at the strange-faced one there! 'Tis a demon, sure as sure is sure! A demon! |
| 49235 You don't know what you're talking about, dear man. Best check your pockets again and then decide for yourself who the true victim is in the docks, yes? |
| 49236 Your step falters, your vision spins, and you feel something is very wrong. For an instant, you are conscious of nothing but the rushing of your blood. |
| 49237 A demon? Me? Perhaps this sparrow has an odd ancestor or two that might cause you fear, my howling friend, but I'll not be one to feast on your innards, have no worry. |
| 49238 There is a bit of justice in that act, Yoshimo, but such legerdemain is beneath the act of heroes. Restrict your thievery in the future to those who deserve such. |
| 49239 I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>, I was just so worried... |
| 49240 Whoa, stop for a bit. How are you feeling? You looked really sick for a moment there. |
| 49241 It's good to see you again, little brother. Ha ha! I rather enjoy calling you that. So... you ready to go? I'd prefer to travel with you, if I could. |
| 49242 Simple theft out of pride, Yoshimo? I'm surprised at you. Even such a fool as he does not deserve to be robbed blind. |
| 49243 Oh ho! A swift move, my thieving friend, and the irony of it gladdens my heart! You have the spirit of a poet, Yoshimo, this sparrow swears it is true. |
| 49244 I'm glad we didn't have to... to kill that poor man. It's terrible what we're being forced to do sometimes. |
| 49245 While such a dastard likely deserved whatever death he received, <CHARNAME>, it is good to see compassion holds a place within you. |
| 49246 You let him go?! He is a thief! He will betray you as surely he did his master, and then all will be for naught! You should have slaughtered him and been done with it! |
| 49247 <CHARNAME> is taking a chance by <PRO_HISHER> action... but compassion must be granted to even the least of our brethren. Would you not have the Order take a chance on you, hm? |
| 49248 Such a lack of compassion is unseemly for a knight. Would you have others judge you as quickly? |
| 49249 Never mind that. Are you hurt? What did he do to you? |
| 49250 Yes, it was most unpleasant. But we are reunited and all is well again. |
| 49251 We survived, but not unscathed. I must know what he did to me... and you. |
| 49252 Yes, yes, I was there. Let's just get back to that room and finish him. |
| 49253 I have proven myself time and again to the Order, Keldorn. Do not compare me to that... that dog. |
| 49254 Shut your worthless mouth, wench! I stand with the righteous and have proven myself time and again. Do not compare me to that... that dog. |
| 49255 Well... you are taking a chance letting Embarl off like that. I doubt he'll stick around to tell anyone of your generosity, though, so I wouldn't worry. We'd best get this dagger back. |
| 49256 Are you all right? I was so scared... You came all this way to get me, and we were almost... |
| 49257 I... I don't know, really. Same thing he did to you, I guess... since we're... the same? |
| 49258 Animal trouble in Trademeet: A setback Faldorn remains in control of the grove. Another druid will have to attempt to challenge her or Trademeet is doomed. |
| 49259 I've heard of him, <CHARNAME>... at least a little. He is a man with many connections amongst the underworld in this city. A man of his word, too, as far as that is worth. |
| 49260 I... think I may have heard of him, <CHARNAME>. In passing. He's supposed to have lots of connections... but I don't know much beyond that. |
| 49261 Gaelan Bayle? Of the Hottentrot Bayles? Hm. Maybe not. I heard mention of this one once, <CHARNAME>. But the gnome who spoke of him also said in the same breath that Elminster had a personal collection of over a hundred monkeys, so who knows what you can believe these days? |
| 49262 He may be right, <CHARNAME>. It would take someone of power to find good information on the Cowled Wizards... This may be your only opportunity to find Imoen. |
| 49263 One should not turn away an offered hand so quickly, <CHARNAME>, but I would be wary of its secretive origin. Perhaps we can find Imoen on our own. |
| 49264 Pendant |
| 49265 Staff |
| 49266 The plan to come, about drow and stuff. |
| 49267 Khelben |
| 49269 We don't need money to find Imoen! We are heroes! We will crush wizard after wizard to find her! Hmm, we should start soon if we hope to be done by dinner... |
| 49270 I would be happy to have you join me. |
| 49271 I have no need of you at present. |
| 49272 Very well. I'll be around here until you change your mind. I know you will. |
| 49273 Good, let's go. |
| 49274 This man has placed us in contact with the Shadow Thieves, after all. Were the life of your friend not at stake, I would not tolerate it for a moment. |
| 49275 All right, fine. If that's the way you wanna be, go ahead and be pigheaded. I'll be at that bar... the Copper Coronet... you can find me there, I suppose, if you ever want to. |
| 49276 All right, no problem here, little brother. You sure you want me to go? |
| 49277 I think it best. |
| 49278 Ah, yes. Aran Linvail. The real power behind the Shadow Thieves in this city, and therefore one of the most powerful men in Faerûn. We should step carefully, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49279 No, stay with me. |
| 49280 If that's what you want. I'll try and find my way to the Copper Coronet, but we'd be better off together. |
| 49281 First Journal of Jon Irenicus |
| 49282 Shadow Thieves? Perhaps we shall finally get answers as to their interest in us. |
| 49283 More thieves? Am I to be steeped in such unpious activity throughout my association with you, <CHARNAME>? I certainly hope not, as this is all beginning to wear my patience. |
| 49284 Your blood cools, and mind and body are reunited under your control. Your will had faltered, and the essence of Bhaal was there to take advantage. |
| 49285 Finally: the Shadowmaster. This is real power we're going to meet now, <CHARNAME>, so you'd best reign in your temperamental nature. |
| 49286 Here, mousey mousey. The hunt draws to a close here and now. |
| 49287 I know I'm early, but I just couldn't bear to see you leave. You were amusing, but the game is over. One last time, let our paths cross in blood! |
| 49288 What is this?! A creature of pure death and darkest shadow! Child of Bhaal, what have you become?! |
| 49289 Away! Irenicus must know of this! We will observe from a distance! |
| 49290 You made an interesting comment. Garren still has the deed to this land. Do you need it? |
| 49291 Hardly. It is a mere formality. Should the Amnian army ever come to investigate Windspear's fall from grace, my ownership of the deed would stop an annoying battle. |
| 49292 Second Journal of Jon Irenicus |
| 49293 Third Journal of Jon Irenicus |
| 49294 I care not for Garren and his whelps. What if I were to obtain the deed for you? I suspect that a small reward would be in order. |
| 49295 My own Harpers have used us. I should have suspected... the gaudy necklaces, the invitation. Ah well. If Xzar was doing as she said, he deserved his fate. |
| 49296 Then I shall ensure that you never obtain it. Once I have returned Garren's children, I shall return to destroy you in the future! |
| 49297 Played like a flute! By the Harpers, no less! If I must kill, it will be for my own ends! (But I never liked that necro or his halfling anyway, so whatever.) |
| 49298 We have been duped into leading an assassin to its target! That such an evil man should die is without question, but I do not relish being tricked into being the instrument! |
| 49299 Oh, it's the old the-bird-is-really-the-assassin trick, is it? I should have seen that one coming. Cousin Belar once pulled that on my great Uncle Tookar, although to be fair he didn't actually mean to kill anyone. He turned from a hummingbird into his original form just as a practical joke on my uncle's birthday... and startled the old gnome so much he went and had a heart attack on the spot. The elders were so upset they turned Belar into a hummingbird for good. He liked it, though, and flew off (that branch of the family was always a bit odd in the head, if you catch my meaning)... only to get eaten by a griffon a week later, I hear. Now, that's justice if there ever was, I suppose. |
| 49300 Sorsha |
| 49301 Sorsha |
| 49302 Come then, fool, and let me prove my worth to the beast I serve! |
| 49303 Could we not talk about this? |
| 49304 You will not survive this meeting! |
| 49305 I seek the release of your prisoner. I will offer more than your current master. |
| 49306 Mahar |
| 49307 Conster |
| 49308 Mahar |
| 49309 Conster |
| 49310 There is nothing to discuss! I will make my fortune here or die! Watch me, Lord Firkraag! Watch! |
| 49311 You speak too soon, fool! I make my fortune here or gladly take death. See my devotion, Firkraag! |
| 49312 You cannot fathom the payment a dragon might offer for loyalty! Fight, that Lord Firkraag will see my devotion! |
| 49313 Have you found my child yet? |
| 49314 Your child is dead. Firkraag has won. Give me the deed to the land, Garren. Your life is finished. |
| 49315 I care not for your child. I have come for the deed to your land. Firkraag will have it, or you will die. |
| 49316 You are a monster! Evil fits you like a serpent's skin. I will back away no longer! Die, traitor! |
| 49317 You have betrayed me for profit? Is there no justice left in this world? |
| 49318 Give me the deed, Garren, or die. I care not which path you choose. |
| 49319 The only justice left is that which one's strength gives them. Justice is not for the weak like you. |
| 49320 You! I remember you! And so does Boo! A craven wizard who travels with his untrustworthy halfling! |
| 49321 Hah! A fascinating turn of events! You will betray Windspear and bring me the deed? Betrayal is a dangerous habit to get into, <CHARNAME>. Is this truly what you desire? |
| 49322 I was wondering when you would turn up, Zhent. I had suspected our parting would not be permanent when last we met, and it appears my suspicions were correct. |
| 49323 I am not here to address you, heartless Harper wench. I am here to appeal to your erstwhile companion, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49324 How dare you speak of poor Monty that way! And I am not here to speak with you anyway, you addled excuse for a ranger. I'm here to make a request of <CHARNAME>. |
| 49325 A request? What do you want? |
| 49326 Maybe you don't remember the last time we met, necromancer... |
| 49327 Aren't you supposed to be dead, Xzar? |
| 49328 An appeal? What do you want? |
| 49329 Perhaps you don't remember the last time we met... |
| 49330 What care do you have for my reasoning? Do you want the deed or not? |
| 49331 As I recall, Xzar, you're supposed to be dead. |
| 49332 It is what I desire. |
| 49333 That depends on what sort of payment you intend to offer. |
| 49334 The reward will be of my choosing. The task is hardly difficult. Garren is old and beaten already. |
| 49335 Do we have a deal? |
| 49336 I will not do it without a substantial reward. |
| 49337 Your greed has gotten the better or you. We do not have a deal. |
| 49338 Very well. Go to Garren Windspear and find the deed to the Windspear Hills. I care not whether he lives or dies. Conster! Go and take care of the child. They are no longer needed. <CHARNAME>, return when you have the deed. |
| 49339 Be wary, <CHARNAME>, the Harpers will not brook interference lightly, and this Zhent likely holds only the worst of intentions in his heart. |
| 49340 The poisoned man was a Harper? It is an organization that does good, <CHARNAME>, despite what you might hear. I would not brook any attempt by this cretin to subvert them. |
| 49341 If there are Harpers gathered in this city, they will be very protective of their privacy. Harshly so. I would be wary of whatever this... man... asks you to do. |
| 49342 Yes, yes, I am not asking you to walk in and slaughter them now, am I? Tempting as that may be, I am not such a blundering fool as your friends might suppose. |
| 49343 Exactly what is it you want me to do then? |
| 49344 I'm not about to risk crossing the Harpers, regardless of your assurances. |
| 49345 I've no interest in doing anything for you, Xzar. |
| 49346 Deed to the Windspear Hills |
| 49347 Well, if you wish to investigate what has happened to the spy, that is up to you, <CHARNAME>. I suggest caution and perhaps some common sense. |
| 49348 If the Harpers will even speak to us, which I doubt, they certainly will not reveal what they did with the halfling. Best not to ask about him directly. |
| 49349 So, you return! Have you brought the deed to these hills? |
| 49350 I have brought the deed. What reward do you offer for the item? |
| 49351 You wish to speak to the Harpers and rescue this evil man's companion? An odd choice of quest... but I have never trusted the Harpers myself. This may be interesting. |
| 49352 I have not yet retrieved the deed. |
| 49353 The Harpers aren't likely to tell us what happened to his spy willingly... but they might answer some questions since we, ah, helped with that other man. |
| 49354 No doubt the fool has been ground to dust if he was caught. Bring an urn. The look on Xzar's face will be priceless when we return with Montaron's ashes. HA! |
| 49355 You may have an item from my hoard. Use this cloak well, and be thankful that you have not only lived but have profited from our meeting. Go now, and do not return again. |
| 49356 Yoshimo, I trust everything is as I instructed? |
| 49357 Y-yes, Master Irenicus, just as you wanted it. |
| 49358 Then do not bother me until you have it. |
| 49359 Yoshimo, what are you talking about? |
| 49360 Traitor! You know this evil creature?! |
| 49361 No traitor, <CHARNAME>. He has proven exceptionally loyal through all of this. Loyal to me. |
| 49362 He speaks of loyalty, <CHARNAME>, loyalty to me through all his trials. |
| 49363 Thank you, Master Irenicus. |
| 49364 You may be disappointed, but I am well pleased. My servants have proven to be artists with herbs, as well with deception. Your meals aboard ship were prepared exactly to my specifications. |
| 49365 What are you talking about? What's going on here? |
| 49366 I will fight you! You will pay for this! |
| 49367 I am well prepared for an ambush. Your talk does not worry me. |
| 49368 Go, my minions! Fulfill thy destiny and destroy the intruders! Even the master shall be impressed with these transmutations! Go! |
| 49369 I do not see my servant with you. Did you discover Yoshimo's treachery, I wonder? I would be surprised if you did. He was very good. |
| 49370 Your fate has been sealed since before you arrived. A simple addition to rations and meals by a master of herbs, Mister Saemon Havarian. |
| 49371 I will not take part in any attempt to rob from the temple of Lathander, <CHARNAME>. If you feel you must continue, then it is your task alone. Perhaps we shall meet again. |
| 49372 This is a despicable act you contemplate, <CHARNAME>, even if I understand your reasoning. I will continue with you... for now... but if we continue such activities, I will not remain. |

| 49374 Though I know where this is leading, such a theft from the house of Lathander fills me with bile. We should be wary lest we become as bad as those we seek to condemn. |

| 49377 You want to steal into the temple of Talos, do you? Ouch, now that's no light task. I once knew a comrade who tried to lift a thing or two from under the nose of the Talassans... and I speak of him in the past tense, naturally, as the Talassans are overfond of lightning and my friend mistook his boots of grounding for his steel-toe boots that evening with predictable results. Still, it sounds like a lark. You wouldn't happen to be resistant to electricity, would you? |

| 49379 Slayer |
| 49380 Stealing into the temple of the Storm God is unlikely to earn you the gratitude of the Talassan priesthood, <CHARNAME>. Best we proceed carefully with this endeavor. |
| 49381 He... he wants us to steal from a temple? Even from Talos, it still creeps me out. Just... just how far will we sink to rescue your friend, <CHARNAME>? |
| 49382 Fools! The master will brook no incompetence! You are to clean his favorite golems, and you do the work too poorly! The master is furious! He values his golems more than a hundred of you! |
| 49383 The days grow more dangerous, and the shadows of the woodlands grow longer. Something must be done before the animals overrun us! |
| 49384 It is good that this is the final of these tasks set for us. I've no taste for bounty hunting, but let us find this thief and have the deed done with quickly. |
| 49385 One might wonder what such a gathering would consider a traitor. The rivvil will likely be either a devil or a saint. Either way, let us track the cur down quickly, if this is what we must do. |
| 49386 We're going to hunt someone? Isn't there some way we could... get this man's dagger without... harming him? I feel so... so dirty working for the thieves like this, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49387 What are you talking about? Yours is the only treachery here. |
| 49388 Yoshimo? He has been a loyal friend since I encountered him in... your dungeon... |
| 49389 I don't believe it. You accuse him when he cannot defend himself. It's a lie. |
| 49390 We do best, animal! Gerg did not sign on to be smacked about by filthy dog. |
| 49391 Please don't hits me, doggie! It hurts! It hurts! |
| 49392 No, you have been usurped from within. Not all in my care were there completely against their will. Yoshimo has certainly proven his worth, with some encouragement. |
| 49393 You have it wrong, scum! The dog is the one who grovels, and that shall surely be you! |
| 49394 Grrr... whose blood shall soothe my throat next? |
| 49395 And if not he, then Saemon Havarian sealed your fate. Either way, you have already lost. |
| 49396 Gerg not ready to die in stinkhold like this! I leave! |
| 49397 I'se go backs to the mound. No master for me! |
| 49398 What is this? I will defeat your treachery! |
| 49399 That fool? I will track him down after I have killed you! |
| 49400 I am prepared for an ambush. Attempting to fight will get you nowhere. |
| 49401 Do you take us for hapless fools? All the power and influence that the Harpers obtain while they perform this "service" is merely coincidental? |
| 49402 And the power that your fellows obtain while they maintain this balance means nothing? I find it hard to believe that all Harpers are capable of such altruism. |
| 49403 So you fight excesses of both good and evil? How do you judge which is which? And surely the accumulation of power by your very organization tips that balance, doesn't it? |
| 49404 Yes, this is an odd structure for the Harpers to erect. I have never heard of an opulent base such as this. Secrecy has always been the watchword before. |
| 49406 This is madness, fool. You are out of your mind! |
| 49408 I would not advise it, Jaheira. The guardians might not recognize you without the proper... protection. It is best not to disturb them without a most vital reason. |
| 49409 This is madness, fool. You are out of your mind! |
| 49410 I am a Harper, Meronia. May I be allowed to speak to these guardians? I assume they are spectral harpists. Perhaps they could satisfy my... curiosity. |
| 49411 Captain |
| 49414 They'll tolerate me brand of "attitude" for as long as I wish to give it, boy, or they'll be cleaved in two with me axe along with yerself. |
| 49415 Oh, I never step on toes... except by accident, maybe. If Boo had me step on toes for real, toes would gloriously be flying everywhere in the wake of my sword! |
| 49416 Well, I've heard schemes to make your head spin, my boy. Or my Aunt Patty's head spin, anyway. Uncle Rufus worked long and hard on that one, let me tell you, and Patty's neck was sore for weeks. She never really forgave him, but such is the nature of schemes, or so they say. |
| 49417 Aye. Never let anyone tell you, berk, that brute force is the best estimation of a man. Sly wit and misdirection will always win out in the end, even against those who style themselves to be immune. |
| 49418 Control your boasts of Harper schemes, boy, lest you encounter someone who was on the receiving end of them and, say, decides to strip the flesh from your bones. |
| 49419 Yes... I've noticed the amulets you wear. I've heard of the Harper pins, but nothing of these. Is this a local custom? |
| 49420 The curse that was wrought against Bodhi and I has now ceased, and yours has begun. You will wither, you will wane, and you will die. |
| 49421 This is an official Amnian title deed for the land in and about the Windspear Hills. The current name on the deed is Garren Windspear's. |
| 49422 This is an official Amnian title deed for the land in and about the Windspear Hills. The current name on the deed is Garren Windspear's. |
| 49425 Had you known of Yoshimo, things might have been different... but a spell component slipped into a soup will still get anyone in the end. |
| 49426 It was his suggestion, really. A fine way to retrieve you unharmed. Of course, your safety is no longer a concern at this point. |
| 49427 Irenicus! I served you well! Please! |
| 49428 Quiet yourself, Yoshimo, and quit babbling about death. You are quite safe now, and my plans for <CHARNAME> go beyond simple murder. You will see soon enough. |
| 49429 Y-yes, Master Irenicus, just as you wanted it. |
| 49430 Yoshimo, I trust everything is as I instructed? |
| 49431 I do not see my servant with you. Did you discover Yoshimo's treachery, I wonder? I would be surprised if you did. He was very good. |
| 49432 Your fate has been sealed since before you arrived. A simple addition to rations and meals by a master of herbs, Mister Saemon Havarian. |
| 49433 Temple of Rillifane |
| 49434 Uh, Yoshimo, what are you talking about? |
| 49435 Traitor! You know this evil creature?! |
| 49436 No traitor, <CHARNAME>. He has proven exceptionally loyal through all of this. Loyal to me. |
| 49437 He speaks of loyalty, <CHARNAME>, loyalty to me through all his trials. |
| 49438 You may be disappointed, but I am well pleased. My servants have proven to be artists with herbs, as well with deception. Your meals aboard ship were prepared exactly to my specifications. |
| 49439 What are you talking about? What's going on here? |
| 49440 I will fight you! You will pay for this! |
| 49441 I am well prepared for an ambush. Your talk does not worry me. |
| 49442 What are you talking about? Yours is the only treachery here. |
| 49443 Yoshimo? He has been a loyal friend since I encountered him in... your dungeon... |
| 49444 I don't believe it. You accuse him when he cannot defend himself. It's a lie. |
| 49445 No, you have been usurped from within. Not all in my care were there against their will. Yoshimo has certainly proven his worth, with some encouragement. |
| 49446 And if not he, then Saemon Havarian sealed your fate. Either way, you have already lost. |
| 49447 What is this? I will defeat your treachery! |
| 49448 That fool? I will track him down after I have killed you! |
| 49449 I am prepared for an ambush. Attempting to fight will get you nowhere. |
| 49450 You said I would have a chance to escape! You have not given me time! |
| 49451 I expected you to come. You'd be a fool to let me reach Irenicus. |
| 49452 Come now, there must be something I can do to appease you. |
| 49453 I'd like to think so, but it really isn't, is it? Everything's changed now... now that we're the... same? |
| 49454 I guess... if we can stand up to him. We're both pretty weak after what he did... to us both. |
| 49455 <CHARNAME>, he showed me what you are and... what I am. And then he took it away. |
| 49456 I don't know who I am now, <CHARNAME>. You may not feel it yet, but the spell for me made me feel hollow. |
| 49457 He took something vital... he says it was my divine soul? I find out I'm a child of a god, and now I'm empty and dying. You are, too... |
| 49458 We'll survive by helping each other, like you helped me in the dream during the spell. |
| 49459 I am strong, and I will not waste away. I survived the fight in the dream, didn't I? |
| 49460 Imoen, we'll survive just fine. You'll learn to cope just as I have. It's not so bad. |
| 49461 Then give up and die. He has stolen from me too, but I will fight on. I must. |
| 49462 The things he showed me were so black and ugly... but a part of me loved it. I never let such things bother me until now. Now life is just death to come... |
| 49463 The dream? <CHARNAME>, I had no dream during my ritual. Just blackness, and my will draining away. |
| 49464 I'm sorry, the things he showed me were so black and ugly... but a part of me loved it. I never let that stuff bother me, and now life is just death to come... |
| 49465 Retrieving the deed for the Windspear Hills I have made a deal with Firkraag the dragon. If I retrieve the deed to the Windspear Hills from Garren Windspear and return it to Firkraag, I shall be rewarded. |
| 49466 There you are, I see. Why do you continue? You are dead inside already. Irenicus has seen to it. I am left to finish your physical shell. |
| 49467 Traitor! You will die for your part in this! |
| 49468 Yoshimo, how could you do this? We had traveled so long together. |
| 49469 He will not succeed in the end. You should reconsider your allegiance to him. |
| 49470 I fight because I must. You know I am right. You knew me well... |
| 49471 Bring your wrath to bear if you are so sure. I doubt you will outlive the tenday regardless! I will not bother with excuses; I cannot fight his spells. |
| 49472 Firkraag's task completed I have brought the deed to the Windspear Hills to Firkraag. He gave me a magical cloak for the favor. He suggests that I leave now that my task is complete. |
| 49473 No redemptions, no second chances! Let us get this over with! I stride into the hell that Irenicus promised! Ilmater take my heart, I have no choice! |
| 49474 You shall be called what you are! You are an enemy of fair, departed Dynaheir and therefore an enemy of mine! You shall be destroyed for the good of all! |
| 49475 Unholy Reaver |
| 49476 Retrieving the deed for the Windspear Hills I have obtained the Windspear deed from Garren, although he did not offer it willingly. I need only to return it to Firkraag in his lair and obtain my reward. |
| 49477 Ir'revrykal +5 |
| 49478 Ah, the feeble protector of that Rashemaar witch. Have you finally misplaced her for good, ranger? Does she linger amidst the worms where she belongs now? |
| 49479 You will not speak of sweet Dynaheir in this fashion! Terrible hamster justice will be wreaked upon you! GO FOR THE EYES, BOO, GO |
| 49480 Silence! You joined Mae'Var's guild with the rest of your party, ranger. Will you spoil your plans so soon? Do you think your leader would appreciate that? |
| 49481 I... no. No, our cause must not be disrupted. Righteous fury will wait for now, but one day the wizard shall pay for his words with blood! So swears Minsc! |
| 49482 Oh, we shall see how long your sword lasts against my magic. Enough of this drivel. You there, <PRO_RACE>, you seem to be in charge. Let's get this over with. |
| 49483 I did not spend so much time in <CHARNAME>'s company just to have <PRO_HIMHER> killed. That could have been done a dozen times over. |
| 49484 Don't you recognize me, Edwin? It's <CHARNAME>. |
| 49485 I'd rather work amidst slop than work with you, Thayan. |
| 49486 Yes, let's. Mae'Var told me to come to you to perform a service. What is it you wish? |
| 49487 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded Captain Arat has said that he and his men will draw off as many of the enemy as they can if I can but open the drawbridge. The wheel to open the bridge will most likely lie on the keep's wall directly above the bridge. |
| 49488 The de'Arnise keep has been invaded I have opened the drawbridge to the keep and, as promised, Captain Arat and his soldiers have engaged many of the enemy. This should make penetrating the keep a bit easier. |
| 49489 Your memory is selective, Red Wizard. Why do you now work with Shadow Thieves, and what is your connection to our capture by Irenicus? Khalid is dead, and I will have an answer! |
| 49490 I am bleak, I know, but I was all alone here for so long. I have not dealt with this for as long as you. It's like a bad dream. |
| 49491 If your whining husband is dead, druid, it is nothing to do with me... and as for answers, you must go much higher than me to be satisfied. |
| 49492 I am not eager to arouse the attention of the Cowled Wizards, <CHARNAME>, but neither am I displeased to dispatch one of their members. Do as it pleases you. |
| 49493 We're... we're just going to go and kill someone? Because he tells us to? This... this doesn't feel right, <CHARNAME>. We're not really going to do this, are we? |
| 49494 Quit your whining, girl! I doubt there is a Cowled Wizard in existence that does not deserve a quick death, and it seems we have little choice. |
| 49495 Enough mewling, elf! An axe in the back of one despicable wizard be as good as any other! We be here for a purpose, if ye'll recall! |
| 49496 I dislike this role of assassin, <CHARNAME>. To name a Cowled Wizard an innocent, however, would be laughably naive. Let us proceed with the task, if you are determined. |
| 49497 Are you not concerned about arousing the ire of the Cowled Wizards for such a deed, <CHARNAME>? Let us hope the blame falls on the Shadow Thieves and not upon our own heads, eh? |
| 49498 So are you. I've had a damnable time with you in my dreams, especially in that last ritual. |
| 49499 And yet you seemed so sure of yourself when you helped in my dream. |
| 49500 Has this affected you differently than me? You have been dealing with the Bhaal essence longer... perhaps you are more focused... |
| 49501 Or perhaps it is more focused upon you. |
| 49502 I don't know. Regardless, we have to get back what Irenicus took from us. |
| 49503 What do you mean? We are the same now that you are aware. Aren't we? |
| 49504 We have no time for philosophical debate. It can wait until after Irenicus pays. |
| 49505 Another insult or two like those, wizard, and ye'll be watching as I tear yer innards out from yer backside. We'll get yer task done quick enough; we be needin' no lip from ye. |
| 49506 My anger can only barely be contained! Speak to us as if we are anything but heroes, wizard, and you shall be receiving the rented-mule beating you deserve! |
| 49507 Now here's the kind of loyalty that most families can only dream about. I should plan the tell-all book now... "The Right Hand that Mae'Var Never Wanted." Ah, yes, thieves everywhere will be beaming with pride! |
| 49508 You walk a dangerous path, wizard. After all your talk, you are nothing better than an opportunistic turncoat. Not that I think we should be complaining or anything. |
| 49509 After all those tasks... and you're turning on your own master? It's not that I think Mae'Var isn't deserving or anything, it's just... you are a very evil man. |
| 49510 Dynaheir's enemy comes with us? Please, <CHARNAME>, say it will not be so! And if it is so, let it be brief! Boo shakes with such anger I cannot blame him! |
| 49511 I hope that the treacherous Red Wizard will only be joining us for a short time. I am sure we will come to odds eventually... sooner if he continues to spout his blasphemies. |
| 49512 Will you not reconsider allowing this filth to join us? Everything I hold to be evil of magic is doubly true for one such as this Edwin fellow. He will betray us, mark my words. |
| 49513 Death is often nothing more than a momentary inconvenience for one such as I. My ultimate mission is too important to suffer distraction from simpletons. |
| 49514 I remember you, Edwin. As I recall, you should be dead. |
| 49515 I remember you, Edwin. As I recall, you should be dead. |
| 49516 I want payment in advance. You want help. Give me some gold up front or I leave. |
| 49517 I want payment in advance. You want help. Give me some gold up front or I leave. |
| 49518 Well, I never! This sort of bluster is not welcome here. If you don't like the pay, don't take the job. Come back when you've found a bit of civility. |
| 49519 This is a... selfish way of doing business. I suppose things are done differently in the city. Very well, I am authorized to offer you 300 gold coins in advance. |
| 49520 It is hardly an appropriate amount, but it shall have to do. You should tell me what is going on. |
| 49521 What an insult! I am a highly regarded adventurer! I should hardly be expected to wallow about in the countryside filth for a mere 300 gold! |
| 49522 There was a malevolent taint to my dreams. Is there a will behind it, I wonder? |
| 49523 I don't know. Dead gods never rest easy. Whatever the case, our mortal lives should be our first concern. |
| 49524 I hope so. I don't look forward to what is ahead though. We face one doozy of a threat to our mortal selves, divine soul or not. |
| 49525 I don't know. You have described something very different than what I experienced. Whatever the case, we are faced with a similar fate for our mortal selves. |
| 49526 I agree. Divine soul or not, there is a deadly threat to our mortal lives. I do not look forward to what is coming. |
| 49527 I have been getting weaker, <CHARNAME>, and it has only been a few days since they performed the ritual on me. |
| 49528 If we don't reverse what was done... if we don't restore our souls... we will probably both die. |
| 49529 Then let's get going. Join with me, and we will escape this place immediately. |
| 49530 Khelben |
| 49531 Then we should leave right now. Join and we will go. No more wasted time. |
| 49532 I agree, but there is a problem. I am sorry, Imoen, but I have no room for you. |
| 49533 If Bodhi was serious about giving us time, getting out of here and getting back to Irenicus may be our only chance at living. |
| 49534 You should think on this, <CHARNAME>. If there's any organization in this city which can aid you in your quest, the Shadow Thieves would be the one. |
| 49535 *You* will probably die. *I* am going after Irenicus. Goodbye. |
| 49536 Bah! Let us begone from here, my friends. We do not need the kind of "work" these fiends would offer, nor do I think I could stand the association. |
| 49537 Because of group balance, I have no room. Can you find your way out alone? |
| 49538 Don't be daft! The thieves of this city have their coffers flowin' with gold aplenty! There be no reason besides a yellow belly to be turnin' it away! |
| 49539 Good. I have missed traveling with you, <CHARNAME>, even when times were bad. |
| 49540 How about conscience, dwarf? Or morality? Perhaps <CHARNAME> knows what is best. |
| 49541 What? I... I know it has been some time since we traveled together, but am I abandoned so easily? After all of this? |
| 49542 M-maybe <CHARNAME> just doesn't want to work for those thieves, Korgan! Maybe <CHARNAME> has a conscience, did you think of that? |
| 49543 Pfeh. If it be a struggle between conscience and gold, I can count on one of me hands the number of seconds 'twould take to resolve such a dispute. Begone with yer blather, girl. |
| 49544 I... I might be able to sneak out alone... possibly... I... I don't know. |
| 49545 Good enough for me. Go. |
| 49546 I am sorry. Please, be careful. I hope we'll meet up again. |
| 49547 Oh, all right, join with me. We'll get out of here together. |
| 49548 I... I will try to make it back to... Athkatla, wasn't it? There's an inn there... the Copper Coronet? I'll try to make it there. |
| 49549 I hope we will meet again, <CHARNAME>. I guess we're sort of... siblings... |
| 49550 Heh heh... especially not with that extra guild out there on the streets, eh, Bloodscalp? Come to think of it, that's quite the moniker you got yourself there. How did it come about? Severe dandruff problems? If that's the case, Ma Jansen has the most wonderful turnip salve that will clear that right up, quick as you please. You might want to think about it... people might be tempted to give you a nicer nickname if you had a pleasant head of hair. |
| 49551 Especially not with that war we've heard about, right? I bet you wouldn't go to outsiders unless the other guild was threatening you pretty badly. |
| 49552 Do not make us laugh, thief master. We have heard of your guild war. You would not approach outsiders if your own house were strong and solid, hm? |
| 49553 <CHARNAME>! You would abandon Imoen here? I would rather leave myself than have you cast her away in this place. It is not right. |
| 49554 We do the bidding of thieves now? Ehhh... this churns my belly like a hamster running endlessly within a wheel. This can't be a good sign, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49555 I tire of this whining! If it makes this all the faster, I will leave myself and you can take the child! I will fare better than her, surely. |
| 49556 Rashemen is my home, but I haven't seen it for many moons. I am on my dajemma. I... failed my last witch... but nothing will happen to Aerie! Nothing! |
| 49557 No, it will not be! <CHARNAME>, let Minsc and Boo take their chances here. Do not abandon Imoen to this place. |
| 49558 I suppose that our business is done. We thank you for your services, mercenary though they were. I would appreciate it if you left now. I have paid you. |
| 49559 No. If you must abandon someone here, then it shall be me. I may perish or I may not, but I would fare better alone than this young woman. |
| 49560 Not so fast. The money you gave me before was an advance only. I expect more than an aged suit of armor. Pay me now before I become angry. |
| 49561 So we go to investigate this other guild, do we? And what will we be required to do there? Steal? Murder? I do not care for where this seems to be heading, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49562 This is an excellent opportunity, <CHARNAME>... for us all. Remember, though, that you must act as a loyal guild member at all times or our cover will be destroyed. |
| 49563 I would not be much of a warrior of light if I let you do this, <CHARNAME>. Abandon me to test my faith instead. Do not let this person come to harm. |
| 49564 No need to get angry. Asking for payment in advance is a standard practice, and you must admit that I am capable. |
| 49565 Don't be a fool, <CHARNAME>! Blast! We've done most of the bloody task already; what be a bit of slaughter?! I, for one, wish the reward! |
| 49566 We are but a poor village. Have you no mercy? I have given the most valuable thing that I own. |
| 49567 You must be a mad<PRO_MANWOMAN>! Mae'Var is as good as dead anyway! Let us go earn the reward ourselves! |
| 49568 I should not like this young woman abandoned to this place. The larger picture should be considered. Leave me instead of her. |
| 49569 I wouldn't want to leave you destitute. I will leave. |
| 49570 The village would be doomed without me. Give me what I want or suffer the consequences. |
| 49571 Very well. I don't mean to be rude. Things are not done with such abruptness and selfishness in our town. Thank you and goodbye. |
| 49572 Do you truly wish to leave the task unfinished and unrewarded, <CHARNAME>? I had thought you in possession of a stronger stomach than this. |
| 49573 Ahh, take the whinin' child. I'll bash this place through on me own rather than hear her simpering one more minute. |
| 49574 You... you are a cruel <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I will pay. Here, this is every penny that I have. Just leave town and don't hurt anyone. Please... |
| 49575 Hmph. If you wish to run some den of thieves, that is your own business. Do not involve me in it. I would sooner see all your guild-fellows dead at the end of my blade. |
| 49576 So you now become a Shadow Thief yourself, <CHARNAME>. I shall watch your actions ever the more closely, then... beware, for I will tolerate nothing that I consider evil. |
| 49577 A fair choice, my friend. The Bloodscalp is a demanding master, but there's few routes to riches that are as quick as the running of a guild. Hopefully, I will be of help. |
| 49578 As you will. In this area, you will have to find a sun gem to pass one of the shadow doors. Be careful! Once you take it off of the altar, its light will no longer protect you from the shadows. |
| 49579 Poisoned and dying! The tragedy of it sings in my skull! We must hurry and deliver this man to safe harbor, <CHARNAME>! |
| 49580 The poor man! Why would somebody do this to him? We... we've got to find the place he spoke of and bring him there quickly! |
| 49581 The fool is probably drunk and not even dying, <CHARNAME>. Why must you concern yourself with every delinquent we come across? Ahhh, do as you wish if it concerns you so much. |
| 49582 Why make such a bother over yon corpse-in-waiting? Pfeh... loot the body, I say, and leave it for the crows. |
| 49583 This is a place I remember. See this sun gem on the pedestal? As long as it sits here, no shadows may approach us and we are safe. When removed, the creatures will attack. |
| 49584 We need this gem to cross one of the shadow barriers. We merely need to be prepared to fight once we've taken it off. |
| 49585 Please leave us alone. We don't want any trouble, and I've already given you everything of value that I own. |
| 49586 You would leave a person in obvious distress to his own devices? I would have expected better of you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49587 <CHARNAME>! The... the man is dying! You, you can't just leave him! That's heartless and cruel! Please don't do this! |
| 49588 We can't just leave him. Well, we should at least find who he's talking about or... or find him some help? Please, <CHARNAME>? We can't just let someone die... |
| 49589 Well, I for one cannot leave this man to die. Either we take him to find the aid he seeks, or I shall seek to do so on my own. |
| 49590 Fine. If that's what you want to do, go ahead. |
| 49591 We've got more important things to do, Keldorn. Forget him. |
| 49592 Very well... we'll bring him to where he wants to go, then, if you're so insistent. |
| 49593 I am disappointed in you, <CHARNAME>. I must do as I must, however. Seek me again after I am done, if you wish, at the Order's headquarters. |
| 49594 I do not have a more important task than to protect the helpless. I will seek aid for this man on my own. Once I am done, you may seek me out at the Order's headquarters. |
| 49595 The void where your soul once was overflowed with murderous fury, the mark of a deity that no longer exists. It was mindless and horrible to behold. |
| 49596 The feeling passes, but far too slowly for your liking. |
| 49597 Foul unnatural creatures! Faldorn and her Shadow Druids protect this forest now! |
| 49598 For the grove! All intruders shall die! |
| 49599 But it is the truth, is it not? I am a Harper myself, and we simply wish to be treated as guests. <CHARNAME> did bring you your poisoned friend, after all. |
| 49600 For the grove! All intruders shall die! |
| 49601 For the grove! All intruders shall die! |
| 49602 Alustriel |
| 49603 The taint of Bhaal has affected you differently than Imoen, reacting with your strength of will. You will eventually lose yourself unless your stolen soul is restored. |
| 49604 A fate, as they say, worse than death, and one that has not gone unnoticed by your comrades. |
| 49605 A fate, as they say, that is worse than death, unless you find Irenicus and take back what is yours. |
| 49606 That was foolish, <CHARNAME>! The Harpers could have helped you. *sigh* But I suppose you will do as you always have, stubborn <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 49607 I'm afraid it is, Jaheira, Harper or no. Your friends are strangers... They must prove their good faith if we are to trust them with our secret in this city. |
| 49608 I am a Harper, friend, and I think I see where this is heading... Is all this really necessary? |
| 49609 *sigh* If the Harpers have asked this task to judge your worthiness, then there is no way around it. Let us proceed and be done with these "creatures." |
| 49610 We are to run errands for these Harpers now, even after saving one of them? And all for that... that... necromancer's halfling friend?! I say to the Abyss with them all! |
| 49611 Why would the Harpers set us on such a simple task? Just to gain admittance? It doesn't sound right... I smell a rat, <CHARNAME>. Proceed carefully, if you intend to. |
| 49612 Hmm, I am surprised they are letting us in, even after all this. I warn you, <CHARNAME>, be polite. Our reason for being here is questionable enough as it is. |
| 49613 Oho! The Harpers open their doors at last! I wonder what Harper secrets we might be able to pry out from under their noses while we are within, eh? |
| 49614 "And the door stands agape, suddenly, and with great trepidation, our heroes step into the dark interior of a lion's den..." |
| 49615 Mercy's sake! What in the bloody pits o' the Abyss are ye supposed to be there? |
| 49616 Aye now! Watch where ye're pushing yer way around! Ye nearly knocked me over, ye did! |
| 49617 Do you mean to tell me you do not know a drow when you see one? Hah! Think of me, then, as a nymph that has taken a tumble down a dirty chimney and you shall be happier by far. |
| 49618 If I'd meant to knock ye over, human, ye'd be sprawled on the floor an' more likely than not with an axe in yer skull, so be grateful 'twas an errant elbow and nothing more. |
| 49619 Oh! Sweetie! You came back! I haven't seen you in ages! |
| 49620 Er... ahh... you must have me mistaken for someone else, wench, I... |
| 49621 Mistaken? Ohhh, you can't fool me, silly! I'd recognize that cute little beard of yours anywhere, Eddie! |
| 49622 Ah... the name is Edwin, I assure you, and... |
| 49623 Don't be silly, Eddie! *giggle* Oh, are you here with friends? Everyone says what a brute you are, but I know your softer, sweeter side, and I'll tell anyone who says differently! |
| 49624 Well. If that's the way you want to play it, then FINE. |
| 49625 ENOUGH! Begone, wench, BEGONE! I spent one night in your chambers, and that is ALL... Speak of it again, and I shall burn the flesh from your bones! Gaaaah! |
| 49626 Grrr... (One more word, one more word and I shall kill them ALL! Oh, yes, I think I'm in just the right mood for it! One... more... word...) |
| 49627 Hmmm... it's nice to know there's a "softer" and "sweeter" side to you... "Eddie." |
| 49628 Tsk. You sure are a charmer with the ladies there, Eddie, my boy. Have them throwing themselves at your feet, eh? Wonders of wonders! |
| 49629 Ahhh, 'tis a sweet thing to witness love in all its forms. Somehow, I just cannot help but picture the sweet lass tickling dear Edwin's feet in the boudoir, the mage giggling like a bonny schoolgirl... |
| 49630 Har har! That Thayan blood of yours runs as hot as I've heard, wizard! Ye're a conqueror of the lasses, ye are! Har har har! |
| 49631 And all feared the Slayer, for it walked like a mortal, but in its wake there came murder, and in the future, there was death. |
| 49632 Are... are you all right? I... I've never seen anything like that... |
| 49633 <CHARNAME>, that was... that was the Slayer. It's one of the avatar forms of Bhaal! You... you became the Slayer? |
| 49634 Hoo-oooh! Someone has come to play at last! |
| 49635 Yes, yes, yes! Someone will play with us now! |
| 49636 And not that stodgy overgrown fish-king! |
| 49637 Yeah! That old fish-king! Pheee-eeeww! No sense of humor! |
| 49638 None! But now... hee hee! You big peoples will want the treasure, right? |
| 49639 Big peoples always wants the drow's treasures! Yes! |
| 49640 You can have the drow treasure, oh yes! But you have to play our game first! Hee hee! You have to play our game! |
| 49641 What say you, big people? You are wanting the treasure? You wants to plays our game, yes? |
| 49642 Why would I want to play this game of yours? |
| 49643 What's to stop me from taking the treasure myself? |
| 49644 All right, I'll play your game. |
| 49645 Forget it. Move aside, imps, and be silent. |
| 49646 Tee hee! Well, you COULD go and look in all the chests if you WANTED to... |
| 49647 Yes, yes, you could! Hee hee! Most of them are empty now anyway! |
| 49648 Most of them! All except for one... one of them is locked up tight and has all of the drow's treasure! All of it! |
| 49649 And something else, too! |
| 49650 It has a nasty nasty nasty inside it that will come out and steal your soul! You'll be forever dead-dead! |
| 49651 Hee hee! We can unlock the chest and protect you from the nasty nasty nasty... |
| 49652 But only if you plays our game! Only if you plays, yes! So what says you, big peoples? Will you plays our game? |
| 49653 Very well, I'll play your game if that's what it takes. |
| 49654 I'll take my chances on my own. |
| 49655 Begone, imps! I've no interest in your game or this treasure! |
| 49656 Oooh, you wants to look in the chests on your own! Hee hee! On your own! |
| 49657 If you does that, big peoples, you in big trouble! Oh, yes, big trouble! But not unless you plays our game first! |
| 49658 Why? What's to stop me from looking in these chests? |
| 49659 Very well... I'll play your game, then. |
| 49660 I'll take my chances, imps. Begone. |
| 49661 The big peoples will plays our game! Hurray! Hurray! |
| 49662 Hurray! Hurray! |
| 49663 Okay, big peoples... this is how our game will go! There is five chests here with nothings in them! In front of each empty chest, a famous big people will appear! |
| 49664 Famous big people! Oh, yes, powerful famous big people! |
| 49665 Each famous big people will give you a gift that belongs to another famous big people... and they will hints to you what gifts belong to them! |
| 49666 If you thinks you knows which famous big people a gift belongs to, you puts it in the empty chest behind them, yes? Very simple! |
| 49667 Once you places all five, you comes and asks us! If you wrong, we laugh at you! If you right, we open the sixth chest and you can laugh at the nasty nasty nasty! |
| 49668 Lotsa fun! Okay, we starts now! |
| 49669 Aaaaaw... you big people is no fun. |
| 49670 No fun, just like big stinky fish-king. |
| 49671 But it is okays. Maybe you come later and wants to play. Or maybe the nasty nasty nasty eats someone's soul. |
| 49672 Either way, is all okay for us! |
| 49673 You comes back! You comes back! You wants to play, yes? |
| 49674 Yes, yes! Tell us that you wants to play! Tells us! |
| 49675 First, tell me what the danger is with these chests. |
| 49676 You'll give me the treasure, imps... or you'll be gutted faster than you can blink! |
| 49677 Very well. I'll play your little game. |
| 49678 Forget it. |
| 49679 Sounds fun! |
| 49680 And then you'd face the nasty nasty nasty on your own, hee hee! |
| 49681 But we would just go somewhere else and leave you spoilsports alone! |
| 49682 What is this "nasty" you mention? Is it in one of the chests? Is there a danger? |
| 49683 *sigh* Fine. Let's play your game, then, if that's what it takes. |
| 49684 I'll take my chances on my own... I'm not worried. |
| 49685 Nope, nope, nope! You gots something wrong with the gifts! Hee hee! You DID put them in the chests, right? |
| 49686 Hee hee! You can't outsmart an imp, you can't! Hee hee! You got something wrong, but I'm not telling what! |
| 49687 Alustriel |
| 49688 Piergeiron |
| 49689 Piergeiron |
| 49690 I did nae think I'd be talkin' to you louts again, but I do what my uncle Gaelan says whenever I can. |
| 49691 Anyways, Gaelan Bayle wants you to come see him before you go making any rash decisions. Says he wants to sweeten the deal. |
| 49692 How would he know I've a decision to make? Am I being followed? |
| 49693 You run and tell him that I'll be there just as soon as I can. |
| 49694 I don't need him anymore. Others are apparently looking to hire me. |
| 49695 Fine, I'll go, but if he can't match the new offer I've been given, he's out of luck. |
| 49696 OOoohh! You gots it all right, you did! You outsmarted us but good! |
| 49697 Awwww, is the games over already? |
| 49698 Okay, okay. We keeps the deal. You goes and opens the last chest now, and we imps will save you. We gets to laugh at the nasty nasty nasty! |
| 49699 Oh, goody! Goes and opens it, big people! |
| 49700 I am Elminster... you know me, friend, as the oldest wizard to have walked the land. In my heart, I am but an old man... and I require an item to while away time's sand. |
| 49701 Go wait for us at the Copper Coronet. If things change, we'll come meet you there. |
| 49702 I give to you this curved sword; I am too old to fight. Give it to another warrior, one whose skin is black as night. |
| 49703 Just wait for us right here. We'll be back later. |
| 49704 Go to the Copper Coronet. We will meet you there if we need your services again. |
| 49705 I am Khelben, a wizard of great power... one of the rulers of the finest city of the north. I need the item that supplies my fondest name... and an extra leg as I walk forth. |
| 49706 Wait right here. We'll come back later if we need your help. |
| 49707 I give to you this pendant of silver, for it belongs to another. Place it around the neck of one who is sister but not mother. |
| 49708 I am Alustriel, a daughter of Mystra, one of seven. Lady of the Moon, give me my symbol of the sword bequeathed by my mother from her home in Heaven. |
| 49709 Where do you want to meet if we are to adventure again together? |
| 49710 Go to the Copper Coronet. If we need to find you, we'll meet you there. |
| 49711 I give to you this pipe of root and magic... its power is strong, I will not lie. Bequeath it to a man instead, one older even than I. |
| 49712 Wait here. If we need your services, we'll be back. |
| 49713 This shell rises from the depths of the pool. You are unsure as to what is supporting it. |
| 49714 I am Piergeiron, a paladin of Tyr's faith and the Open Lord of my northern land. If you will, place a symbol of my rule within my hand. |
| 49715 These manta statues, albeit tarnished, show exemplary craftsmanship. They are quite beautiful and seem out of place amongst this savage culture. |
| 49716 I give to you this staff of darkest hue which has faced many an evil foe. It is not mine, but I tell you now, it belongs to one I know. |
| 49717 I am Drizzt, a drow who left my hated home below to become a hero true. I require something with which I have vanquished many, one of two. |
| 49718 I give you a helmet here... a symbol, so I'm told, of rulership on the surface land in a city far north and cold. |
| 49719 This is a disturbingly lifelike statue of some hideous denizen of the deep. The smell of old blood and death permeate the area. |
| 49720 Sea water gushes endlessly through and below this maze of platforms. Various pools seem deeper and darker than the others. You suspect that these shafts lead to the ocean. |
| 49721 A putrid wave of air rushes over you as you gaze about this hellish room. Rotting corpses of all shapes and sizes lie submerged in the bloody, stagnant water. |
| 49722 Lacedon |
| 49723 Ahhhhaaaa... fooool you wwwweere to reeeeleeeaaasssse me... ha ha HA HA HA ha ha ha... |
| 49724 Lacedon |
| 49725 Nnnooowwww I mmmmayyy use your owwwwnnn life forrrrce to esssscaaaaape heeeeerrrrree... ffffaaaarrrewellll... |

| 49729 Ha ha! Poor nasty nasty nasty! |
| 49730 You can't do nothing, nasty! We protectings the big people! Thpppppfffft! |
| 49731 Nnnnooo! NnNnNNOOOO! I... I aaaammmm tooo weeeeeaaaakkk... |
| 49732 Fake Rebel's Heart |
| 49733 Ha ha! That was fun! |
| 49734 Fake Rebel's Heart |
| 49735 You funny big peoples! We go now. |
| 49736 Spoilsport! Cheater! You mean big people! |
| 49737 You no fun! You stink! We leaving now! |
| 49738 Cheater cheater cheater! Spoiler big people! |
| 49739 This is a massive gaping maw that rises from the water to form an altar. This appears to have been a temple to the sahuagin god Sekolah. It has been deserted recently, most likely due to the rebel invasion. |
| 49740 Yes, return to the circus. If we need you again, we'll come and get you. |
| 49741 You can't go to the circus. Just wait here, and we'll come back when we need you. |
| 49742 We'll meet you back at the Copper Coronet if we need your services again. |
| 49743 You can't go there; just wait for us right here. We'll return when we require your services. |
| 49744 Where should we meet if you were to change your mind? |
| 49745 Meet us at the Copper Coronet. |
| 49746 Just wait right here, and we'll come back for you later. |
| 49747 Priestess |
| 49748 Priestess |
| 49749 All right, we'll meet you there if we change our minds. |
| 49750 You can't do that. Just wait here, Korgan. We'll come back for you if we need your skills. |
| 49751 All right, we'll meet you there. |
| 49752 That's just not possible. Jan, just wait for us right here. We'll come back for you if we need you. |
| 49753 We'll meet you at the graveyard if we need your services again. |
| 49754 Just wait here, Viconia. If we need you again, we'll come back for you. |
| 49755 We'll meet you at the druid grove if we need you again. |
| 49756 Just wait here, and if we need you, we'll return. |
| 49757 Demin's House |
| 49758 Artemis Entreri |
| 49759 We'll meet you there if have need of your services. |
| 49760 You can't go there. Why don't you just wait right here, and if we need you again, we'll come back for you? |
| 49761 Okay... we might meet you there at a later date. |
| 49762 That's impossible. Why don't you just wait here, and we'll come back for you later? |
| 49763 I require assistance. |
| 49764 Defend me! |
| 49765 Slay my attacker! |
| 49766 I can't take this! |
| 49767 No more! |
| 49768 Mercy! |
| 49769 I shall help thee! |
| 49770 Don't look at me. I just do what I'm told. He said to tell you the offer is sweeter, so here I am. |
| 49771 Sure thing, but don't keep him waiting too long. I'll look like a liar if you don't show up to see him. |
| 49772 Couldn't hurt to hear him out. I was told about who might be talking to you, and they ain't a way to stay safe in this town. |
| 49773 Anyway, just go see Gaelan before you go see... *ahem*... your new contact. I only get paid if I get you to see him, and it won't take long, you know. |
| 49774 Damnâ€â€can't get a shot off. |
| 49775 Beware, <CHARNAME>! I sense much that is unnatural and evil within this creature! Do not parley with her... it will lead only to ill! |
| 49776 There is something unnatural about this... this "Bodhi." I do not trust her, <CHARNAME>. Everything about this place feels evil and wrong. |
| 49777 Be wary, my friend. This creature is one of darkness... if you intend to deal with her, do so cautiously. I will prepare to call on Helm should signs of treachery arise. |
| 49778 This is a dark place to meet this woman, <CHARNAME>, and I sense an unnaturalness about her that is disturbing to me. Step carefully. |
| 49779 Well, it is about time! It is almost too much, this creeping about graveyards at night, waiting on this wench's every word! Bah! |
| 49780 Well, it's about bloody time! I were almost near ready to begin swingin' me axe just to get things moving along here. |
| 49781 No. Do not deal with this creature, <CHARNAME>. If you do, I will not be a party to it. This is all I will say on the matter. |
| 49782 I urge you not to accept this offer, my friend. This feels more and more wrong the longer I remain in this place... I could not abide working for such a being as this. |
| 49783 How does she know of our link to the Shadow Thieves? And what would they think of this meeting? Be careful, <CHARNAME>, our lives may hang in the balance. |
| 49784 Such an offer from this woman sends chills up and down my spine like angry weasels... but <CHARNAME> will know what to do. Even Boo is confident of this. |
| 49785 I can't say I'm very comfortable with the idea of dealing with this... woman. This place reeks of the undead and worse. Do as you will, though... I will follow for now. |
| 49786 I... I don't know if this is such a good idea, <CHARNAME>. I'm... I feel frightened, all of a sudden. Maybe we should just leave... |
| 49787 A strange deal... and yet it would save us much effort, no? It has, however, the feel of a deal with a devil. It would be good, however, to turn the tables on those vile thieves. |
| 49788 Hah! An excellent deal, to save so much gold! Seize the opportunity, <CHARNAME>, lest the fickle woman change her mind! |
| 49789 Perhaps... perhaps this is not a bad idea. We would save much coin and achieve the same goal, it seems. Although... it would be certain to make enemies of the Shadow Thieves... |
| 49790 Enough. It is obvious you have questions. Ask them and appease your curiosity, if not your conscience. |
| 49791 How do you know of my involvement with the Shadow Thieves, or even that they are Shadow Thieves? |
| 49792 You know an awful lot about me. Where have you learned all of this? |
| 49793 It sounds like you've been spying on me. Why should I trust you? |
| 49794 Why would you do this? What do you stand to gain? |
| 49795 Pirate Bill |
| 49796 Pirate Bill |
| 49797 Pirate Dan |

| 49800 Pirate Jimmy |
| 49801 Pirate Scotty |
| 49802 Pirate Scotty |
| 49803 Pirate Paul |
| 49804 You have made your decision, I see. I will not consort with evil, <CHARNAME>, nor with those who would do so. Farewell. |
| 49805 Pirate Paul |
| 49806 Pirate Newf |
| 49807 Pirate Newf |
| 49808 I cannot, in good conscience, remain with a group who has chosen to take such a route. I shall pray for your soul, <CHARNAME>. I... do not think we shall meet again. |
| 49809 Empty Potion Bottle |
| 49810 Aye, and when that day comes, demon, we shall be there waiting for you. |
| 49811 So be it, wench. Whatever ye be, ye'll die quick enough just like any other, I'd wager. |
| 49812 Boldly said, creature, yet you do not face us. <CHARNAME> has been underestimated by far better. You will rue the day of conflict when it comes, I think. |
| 49813 Well, that wasn't so bad, now. After all that, I had thought we were going to be sent to steal candies from young children and step on the toes of old grandmothers. To think I nearly peed myself for absolutely no reason... |
| 49814 Is that... all we have to do? Oh, I'm so relieved! Still, <CHARNAME>, I wonder if this is only the beginning. Who is this woman, really? And why is she doing all these things? |
| 49815 Well, this isn't too bad. The way all my hairs are standing up, I would have expected us to be sent to do something much worse. Let's just... get this over with. |
| 49816 Is this all that we are to be used for now? Some minor errand? Ah, yes, what a blow it shall be against the Shadow Thieves! Bah! Let us get this over with! |
| 49817 It is just as well. I sense a terrible evil within that creature and much prefer to see her gone. What is it about you, <CHARNAME>, that attracts such attentions? |
| 49818 And she is gone? Just like that? We were drawn here in the night only to receive riddles and excuses from some... evil... creature? How very odd. |
| 49819 A waste of our time, it seems. The woman did not know of your thieving nature, <CHARNAME>, that was obvious... though she seemed to know much else. |
| 49820 She... she's gone? Let's just... get out of here, okay, <CHARNAME>? I feel such shivers here; I just can't explain it. I'm just thankful she left, for whatever reason. |
| 49821 It is an option that bears no questioning! <CHARNAME> is a champion of good, just as we all are! Always must we take the choice of righteousness! |
| 49822 I doubt I'd want to see what Bodhi's idea of a questionable assignment would be, <CHARNAME>. Of course, I doubt her "heroic" assignment will be much more palatable. |
| 49823 I... I don't want to do anything really terrible. Especially not for her, not for any reason. Let's just... stick to something less objectionable, okay? |
| 49824 Is this a challenge, I wonder? Take the darker path, <CHARNAME>... show this creature you will not shrink from a deed that needs to be done. |
| 49825 Ahhhr, the first path sounds the better to me. I have a hankering for blood that shan't be satisfied by nilly-nallying about with morals and such. |
| 49826 The choice is ultimately <CHARNAME>'s. It is <PRO_HIMHER> that I have employed only. What do you say, <CHARNAME>? |
| 49827 I do not wish to dirty my hands more than they are. The hero's task is my choice. |
| 49828 I am not above a little skulduggery. I will do the unseemly task. |
| 49829 Such wailing is sickening and ultimately pointless. What say you, <CHARNAME>? Will you perform the deed or not? |
| 49830 Very well. He will not outlive the night. |
| 49831 This is a bit harsher than I thought. Could I not just rough him up? |
| 49832 Murder is not what I was expecting. |
| 49833 No! Tell me this is not so! No heroes would commit such an act! <CHARNAME>, I could never look Boo in the eyes again if I took part in such a thing! |
| 49834 I will not stoop to this kind of murder, <CHARNAME>, no matter what you've done for me. If this woman can't give us something else to do, I will be leaving. |
| 49835 Brus mentioned that you had a new deal to offer. What is it? |
| 49836 Brus mentioned that you had a new deal to offer. What is it? |
| 49837 What? Kill someone? Murder them outright? You... you don't actually intend to go through with that, do you, <CHARNAME>? It sounds so... so grisly. |
| 49838 Brus mentioned a new deal. Is that the change he spoke of? |
| 49839 Aye, 15,000 gold. They wish to speed proceedings along, for your benefit and theirs. They want to keep the relationship with you as friendly as possible. |
| 49840 My hamster's heart is crushed that you have fallen so far, <CHARNAME>! How could this be? It is my fault, all mine, for letting it happen! |
| 49841 So ye be sure to return when you've the full 15,000. We can be good friends, the lot of us. We're on the same side in this, whether ye know it or not. |
| 49842 So there is the final tally. Are you happy with the price? We are certainly the least offensive ally you could choose in this matter. |
| 49843 I... I must leave to drown in my sorrows. If you pick yourself up, I shall be in that Copper Coronet. It seemed like a grand place for adventure, oh yes! |
| 49844 I'll pay the 15,000 right now. |
| 49845 I'm not ready to do this yet. |
| 49846 I am surprised. I had thought you a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of better character than this. It seems I was mistaken. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49847 This is more like it! A rescue from the hostage-takers! All shall quiver in the wake of our righteous fury! Yes, Boo, show them how they will quiver! |
| 49848 You slaving bastard! My family's blood still stains your hands! |
| 49850 Well... this isn't too bad, I guess. At least we're rescuing someone. |
| 49851 A bloodied halfling sits, chewing on a human leg bone still partially covered by dirty leather armor. It looks up, smiles, and says, "More to feast!" |
| 49852 Kill... Aran Linvail? The Shadowmaster of the entire Shadow Thieves guild? How... are you mad, woman? |
| 49853 Kill the big man, eh? Ahhh, this takes me back. Uncle Scratchy led the assault on King Goobar's tower himself, you know. Of course, Goobar wasn't really a king. And calling a horde of angry old gnomes bitter about the pipe shortage and muttering to themselves with torches an assault is something of a stretch too, but you get the idea. If it hadn't been for Goobar's quick thinking, things could really have gotten messy. Still, there were bubbles everywhere for weeks... so I suppose it was messy enough anyway. |
| 49854 So this is what we've been aiming for all along? Unbelievable! How... how are we supposed to do this? The Shadowmaster has a horde of assassins at his call! |
| 49855 Killing the Shadowmaster... if we succeed, it will be a feat of no small note, <CHARNAME>. Still, though, people have tried it in the past and come nowhere near succeeding. |
| 49856 We will charge into the midst of the den of thieves and fling them about like pancakes! All that is glory shall be ours! And then breakfast. |
| 49857 So, we're off to kill the Shadowmaster, one of the most powerful men in this city? It might be interesting. Just do not screw it up, <CHARNAME>! |
| 49858 You have come too late, surface <RACE>. You have already performed the task as the king has demanded... there is no reason for us to speak. |
| 49859 Go if you must. Go on your way and enjoy what rewards Ixilthetocal has given you. You are not the Shark-Father's promised, as I had thought. |
| 49860 Do not think to attack me. Cast your spells elsewhere. |
| 49861 Sea Zombie Lord |
| 49862 Sea Zombie Lord |
| 49863 I have met the prince, and he has asked me to help him kill the king. |
| 49864 Then do as he suggests, and we shall soon have victory! Go! |
| 49865 More feast! |
| 49866 You've been warned... now suffer the consequences. |
| 49867 Staff |
| 49868 Oh, you poor man! What sort of beasts would do something like this... to anyone? <CHARNAME>, we've got to find the people who did this and stop them! |
| 49869 Buried alive...? I... I almost can't think of anything more horrible. And all of this just for some money. Pfaugh! |
| 49870 We don't have time for this, <CHARNAME>! What business is it of ours if this fool allows himself to be buried alive? Bah! Are we the city guard? |
| 49871 Those who bury the living must be buried by our righteous fury! Woe betide those who would flout justice! So says Minsc, though "betide" was Boo's word. |
| 49872 Are there not more important adventures we could be undertaking? This manner of... of aid seems quite tedious. This is a task for the garrison, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49873 This is the perfect opportunity for us to aid a good cause where the city guard has not the chance, <CHARNAME>. Surely you would not allow such evil activity to continue? |
| 49874 You're just sending him to the guard? Obviously, you haven't spent too much time in the city. The garrison might be just as likely to rebury the man to avoid having to write up a report about it. It happened to my cousin Biffle once, you know. Some errant mage had cast an earthquake spell and opened up a chasm that poor Biffle had fallen into. A terrible sight to behold, especially since his entire tray of Aunt Gertie's turnip muffins flew into the chasm with him. She had been hoping to win the local muffin-baking contest, and we were all bereaved for weeks that Gertie hadn't gotten her due. She'd been baking for weeks, you know. Why she'd given the tray to Biffle no one could ever figure out... he was always suffering from one kind of bad luck or another, you'd have thought he'd offended the gods. Tsk. Hmmm... where was I? |
| 49875 It's nothing. I'm just a little dizzy, that's all. It's already passed. |
| 49876 I don't know. Have you felt any ill effects since the spell they cast on you? |
| 49877 Leave me alone. I'll be fine. |
| 49878 You were explaining about the unfairness of the garrison, I believe, my good gnomish friend. |
| 49879 Uhhh... wasn't this about the garrison? And that poor, buried man? |
| 49880 If you say so. I felt really weak after my ritual too, but you looked like you were ready to keel over. Take it easy for a while, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49881 Right you are! Well, the guards were all standing around, wondering how to write up the disaster when Biffle miraculously crawled to the surface. Gasping and coughing, shivering with exhaustionâ€â€it was quite a sight, I'm told. The guards, however, had already written up Biffle as a casualty... and rather than spend all the time rewriting the report, they kicked him back into the chasm. |
| 49882 I've been getting weaker, I think, but it hasn't made me all that ill yet. You take care, all right? It's really odd that you are sick. |
| 49883 That's terrible! |
| 49884 You lie worse than ever, gnome. Surely they did not do such a thing. |
| 49885 Well... perhaps not all the way back in. Poor Biffle bounced a few times until his suspenders caught on an outcropping of rock. He hung there for a few days, swinging in the wind, until somebody heard his cries. He was never quite the same again, poor cousin Biffle. Eventually, a griffon ate him. It was for the best, really. |
| 49886 Step slowly, you do not look well at all. How do you feel? |
| 49890 The what? How do you know that? |
| 49891 I couldn't help it... it just happened. What could have caused that? |
| 49892 I've never felt power like that. That was me? |
| 49893 You were originally talking about the garrison, I think. |
| 49894 I've read descriptions of the Slayer before. It appeared when the Time of Troubles forced the gods to walk the land... |
| 49895 Oh, come on... they didn't, I'm sure. |
| 49896 <CHARNAME>, we've got to get our souls back from Bodhi and Irenicus. You've been left empty, and it's affecting you differently than me. |
| 49897 I, for one, think we should do something to hunt these men down. Such a vile act must not go unpunished, <CHARNAME>. We saved this Tirdir, and we have assumed the responsibility. |
| 49898 Well, of course it was. *sigh* |
| 49899 Wait, <CHARNAME>! There is no reason that we cannot ransom this lady off ourselves, yes? There is no reason we cannot profit from this! |
| 49900 Hmph. If ye were to be asking me, I would say that we should be profiting from this venture. Collect the ransom for yon lady, says I. 'Tis nothing wrong with a bit of coin. |
| 49901 How dare you say such things! Free me at once, I demand it! |
| 49902 You demand? You do not seem to be in a position to demand anything. |
| 49903 Of course. I will release your bonds at once! |
| 49904 Forgive my friend's rudeness, my lady. I shall free your from your bonds, and you are certainly free to go. I trust you have suffered no injury? |
| 49905 Ignore <CHARNAME>, good lady. Sometimes <PRO_HESHE> is as uncouth as a drunken dwarf, I think. I shall free you... I trust you have not been injured? |
| 49906 No... no, I am unhurt. Perhaps you should choose your associates with more care in the future, good knight. |
| 49907 I don't know, but I've read descriptions of the Slayer before. It appeared when the Time of Troubles forced the gods to walk the land... |
| 49908 You wake suddenly, a pounding in your ears. A shock of pain passes through your body, and you feel your mind slipping away, forced aside by the darkness within. |
| 49909 You would keep this woman a prisoner? Boo is not convinced that this is right. I agree that it smells of evil. Bad <CHARNAME>! Bad! |
| 49910 Excellent! We will take advantage of another's plot! What delicious irony! (I should have a greater share of the ransom for thinking of it, in fact.) |
| 49911 So the woman is freed? What need is there to collect a reward from the man? Are we not heroes, you and Boo and I? This is most confusing. |
| 49912 A despicable act, <CHARNAME>. If it's money you are so interested in, the lady might have offered a reward for her freedom. |
| 49913 You have your money, <CHARNAME>, but you could have avoided the inevitable reputation of a kidnapper. Sometimes I think you act without due consideration. |
| 49914 Your distress wakes your companions, but they can only watch as your pain grows more intense. |
| 49915 With no comrades to see your distress, you can only hope the madness passes quickly, as it has done so before. |
| 49916 Hah! It has a delicious irony that is almost worth more than the gold, collecting this ransom. I find it encouraging to see such a backbone in you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 49917 If you plan on passing this point, surface <RACE>, you should be warned that it is not truly part of the City-of-Caverns. |
| 49918 Beyond here lies an old place home to the blackened elves, with traps enough to send any to the belly of the Shark-Father. Enter at your own risk. |
| 49919 I have already warned you of the danger beyond, surfacer. Bother me no further, or risk incurring my wrath. Your teeth are no match for mine. |
| 49920 Are you well? I am growing very worried about you, you know. I should not like to lose you in this evil place. |
| 49921 Jaheira, I would get back if I were you. I think it's happening again! |
| 49922 Get back, Jaheira, if you value your life. |
| 49923 Leave me be, woman! You endanger yourself just standing there! |
| 49924 <CHARNAME>? Your lips move, but there is no sound. <CHARNAME>? <CHARNAME>! |
| 49925 My dear, are you all right? I will soothe you as best I can if need be. |
| 49926 I have the head of the child-killer Neb. He is dead and will bother no one any longer. |
| 49927 Please, Aerie, stand away. I do not know if I can protect you. |
| 49928 You should get as far from me as possible, Aerie, for your own safety. |
| 49929 Leave me alone, Aerie! You are foolish to stay here! |
| 49930 <CHARNAME>? Your lips move, but I cannot hear your words... are you... no... NO! <CHARNAME>! |
| 49931 I have the head of the child-killing gnome Neb. I expect a bounty for the service of killing him. |
| 49932 Let's see what you have there. Yes... despite the, ah, condition of the head, it is obviously the criminal we've been seeking. |
| 49933 You have no idea what a despicable creature this Neb was. Or perhaps you do. Regardless, we're thankful for your help. I hope this reward is sufficient. |
| 49934 You look distastefully weak, ss'inssrigg, like you have seen your own ghost. Are you well? |
| 49935 Viconia! Stand back from me! I do not know if I can protect you from this! |
| 49936 Be on your guard, Viconia. I am not sure of myself. |
| 49937 Mind your business, drow, if you value your life! |
| 49938 Your lips move as a jester's, with no sound for me to hear. Do you mock me, <CHARNAME>? <CHARNAME>, do you hear me...? No! |
| 49939 I understand the Flaming Fist was looking for him as well. I'll send them a note explaining your deed so they can stop looking now. |
| 49940 Thank you again, citizen. You've done well. |
| 49941 You are shivering, my dear. I will stoke the fire, though I fear your chill is not a fault of the air. |
| 49942 I have the head of the child-killer Neb. He will no longer harm anyone. |
| 49943 I have the head of the child-killing gnome Neb. I expect a bounty for killing him. |
| 49944 No, it isn't. Stand back, Anomen. I don't know if I can protect you from this. |
| 49945 You endanger yourself by being here. Move, for your own good. |
| 49946 Get away from me, fool. You endanger your worthless life! |
| 49947 Your lips move, but no sound emerges. Are you sure you are well... <CHARNAME>? By the gods, <CHARNAME>! |
| 49948 I have the head of a criminal here, a gnome by the name of Neb. Is it you that I should be talking to? |
| 49949 What? You have... AH! Oh... that IS an actual head, isn't it? Er... I suggest you bring it to Inspector Brega. He... can deal with it, I'm sure. *shudder* |
| 49950 I have the head of a criminal here, a gnome by the name of Neb. Is it you that I should be talking to? |
| 49951 The madness fades, and the essence within retreats, but if this continues, you will lose not only yourself, but also everything you hold dear. |
| 49952 Only a fool would prostrate himself before a god that would turn nature to his own purposes. Nature has no evil of its ownâ€â€only the soul of your barren god has that honor. |
| 49953 Nature is not so vindictive, fool. It cares not who prostrates before it, it cares only that the balance is maintained. |
| 49954 You know, this almost reminds me of the time when Uncle Scratchy got on Cyric's bad side. You have no idea the kind of snit your average evil god can get into... |
| 49955 This is not the time nor the place for one of your pointless anecdotes, gnome. |
| 49956 Uh... maybe that's not the kind of story you want to get into, Jan, with a priest of Talos right here... |
| 49957 The uncertainty of your condition has obviously worried those you travel with. The quest is treacherous enough without having to worry about what you might do. |
| 49958 You're telling me! One angry god and what do you get? The Great Underwear Shortage, that's what! You certainly wouldn't expect someone like Tyr to have that kind of wicked sense of humor, that's for sure. |
| 49959 We probably don't want to anger a Talassan priest, Jan... best to keep your story to yourself. |
| 49960 Nothing, so long as such enthusiasm is tempered with the knowledge of one's duty. Truly, such optimism makes for a strange credo to constantly hold oneself to. |
| 49961 Cloak of Bravery |
| 49962 Not a thing, unless you have an objection to my vomiting all over your rosy-hued robes, priest. |
| 49963 This is the hilt of a long sword. It appears to have been forged by a fine craftsman, even though the blade was broken off long ago and the pommel is obviously missing a large gem. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 49964 Goodness, me! It seems that not a day goes by without there being more and more thieves in this city! Soon I swear they will outnumber the rest of us! |
| 49965 Dear lord, man! Is that some manner of vermin you are carrying with you? Do you not know how many diseases such a creature could carry, how unhealthy that is? |
| 49966 If you number merchants amongst your count of the thieves in Athkatla then you might just have the right of it, indeed. |
| 49967 The danger of your condition is terrifyingly clear, written in the blood of those you care about. This must be resolved or you are certainly lost. |
| 49968 It is more dangerous to call Boo a vermin, as he may leap upon you and show you his true warrior spirit. Nothing can contend with the might of an angry hamster! |
| 49969 You would have killed me if I had let you. You would have left me to rot in this place. |
| 49970 To your horror, the troll's corpse heaves, and with a violent splash, two smaller trolls emerge from the body. |
| 49971 I fear this will not be the last time this happens. I can't control it. |
| 49972 I tried to warn you, but I couldn't speak. I am sorry. I should leave. |
| 49973 It wasn't my fault. Whine if you want, but I'm the one really in trouble here. |
| 49974 I'm not sure you should try to control it. We must distance you from it, not embrace it. We will make do despite the danger. |
| 49975 No, you should not be alone during this. We will get through, I am sure. We just have to keep going, no matter what comes. |
| 49976 You are not the only one affected by this! It is so hard to see you... |
| 49977 <CHARNAME>, please, let's just keep moving. We'll get through, I'm sure of it. Really. |
| 49978 You were a monster... A MONSTER! How could I...? |
| 49979 <CHARNAME>, I want to think this won't happen again. I HAVE to think it won't. Please, let's get out of this place. |
| 49980 You... you would have struck me down where I stand... such power... |
| 49981 <CHARNAME>, we will work to capitalize on this, but if you endanger me again, I shall have to bury you here. Let us hope it does not come to that. |
| 49982 You are a beast within! If I did not know of your true intent, I would be at your throat as we speak. |
| 49983 We must put a stop to this. Speak no more of it until we can face those responsible. |
| 49984 The pain comes in an instant, forcing you to double over. A quick check reveals no obvious injury or attacker, and with dread, you realize the cause is within. |
| 49985 It passes quickly and you remain in control, but the dread of what could happen next time remains in your mind. |
| 49986 I can't believe they lets you little halfling heathens walk around in the open, here in the Temple District, plain as day. You an' your little midget gods... it just ain't right. |
| 49987 Who let you in here, dwarf? This is a holy place, it is, and it doesn't need yer stinkin' kind wandering about makin' the place rotten. Go find yerself a hole, aye? |
| 49988 You are ignorant, even for a human. Fortunately for you, Arvoreen calls for patience for such as you, or I would strike you down where you stand for such blasphemy. |
| 49989 Another word from yer lips, longlegs, and ye'll be greetin' me axe personal-like. I've no patience fer blathering fools. |
| 49990 It... it is a dark elf! A dark elf amongst us in the Temple District! Oh, the omens, the omens! We are doomed, doomed! |
| 49991 The dark altar summons forth a shadow. |
| 49992 Calm yourself, rivvil. Or slice your own throat upon your knife, I truly do not care. The amount of hysteria your kind experiences by my mere presence is laughable. |
| 49993 You there... you're that awfully strange little gnome that, ah... |
| 49994 No need to be bashful about it, good woman. Not everyone can maintain a perfect complexion in this climate. Why, just the other day a man was rude enough to walk up to Cousin Kylie and ask her if her face exploded. She was shocked, of course, but it was really her fault in the end for not using the turnip lotion like Ma Jansen had told her to. Kylie had found out that the lotion tasted great on the turnip muffins she was selling, though... people were buying them in droves! Turned out, of course, that Ma Jansen always slipped a little ticojen in the lotion, you know, but she never intended for anyone to EAT it. Now THAT took a long time to sort out with the garrison. |
| 49995 ...ah... I see... excuse me, please... |
| 49996 Ah... you are the son of Lord Cor, are you not? I seem to recall that you had entered the Order when he and I last spoke. Have they ejected you yet, as Cor expected? |
| 49997 You are beneath my notice, fool. You can join my father in Hell, if you like, and gossip with him all you like once you're there. |
| 49998 has dropped an item. |
| 49999 Ah, hello, I... er... wait! I know that man there! He is a wizard! A wizard among us! The Cowled Wizards will deal with you, fiend! |
| 50000 I would deal with you here, fool, but it would draw the Cowled Wizards' attention. Count yourself lucky and be gone from my sight! |
| 50001 Before you go, I offer you a few surfacer trinkets from my treasury as payment for your assistance. Here you go! Farewell, my little <PRO_RACE>! |
| 50002 Aye, and Arvoreen shall always strive to protect that home. Vigilance is not a trait associated with my people, but it is one we have learned the hard way. |
| 50003 Ah, yes, the little folk. This reminds me of a story, wouldn't you know... |
| 50004 I've no interest in hearing some lurid tale of some involvement of yours with my kind, gnome. My patience with you wears thin as it is. |
| 50005 You've another story for us, talespinner? Do tell. |
| 50006 Are you well? It would only be fitting to take some time to rest. You have been through quite an ordeal. |
| 50007 I felt strange for a moment, like I wasn't in control. |
| 50008 It's nothing. Leave me alone. |
| 50009 I don't want to worry anyone. Just forget it. |
| 50010 Now, there's no need to be rude. It was just a simple story of furry feet and the foibles of being a teenaged gnome. Ah, youth! I still remember her laughter as she ate turnip cake after turnip cake... quite an appetite, as I recall. |
| 50011 Very well, but keep me apprised of your condition. Imoen supposedly went through the same ritual, but she did not seem to suffer from sudden attacks like that. |
| 50012 Oh, it's not much of a story, I suppose. Just a tale from my youth about an infatuation with a young halfling lass that worked in the local bakery. She wasn't a baker, mind you. She was a food-taster and a champion eater at all the festivals. How she used to stuff those pound cakes into her mouth. What an appetite! For fun, we used to roll her downhill and watch those furry feet spin about in every direction. What a thrilling laugh, she had! Hmmm... or were they screams of fear? You know, after the first century or so, your youth isn't quite what you remember it to be. |
| 50013 That is troubling. I do not know what effect having the ritual had on you, but it does appear to be different from what Imoen suffered. Odd. |
| 50014 You look weak. Do not tell me you are withering already. I thought you stronger than that. |
| 50015 It's nothing you have to worry about. I just lost my footing for a moment, that's all. |
| 50016 Thanks for the oh-so-heartfelt concern, Viconia. Remind me to dance on your grave. |
| 50017 Strange... I just kind of felt like I wasn't in complete control for a moment there. |
| 50018 What story would that be, Jan? |
| 50019 Not now. I've no interest in your stories, gnome. |
| 50020 I see. Strange that Imoen seemed to have weathered the ritual better than you. |
| 50021 Well, I should like some warning if the condition continues. We need strong leadership through the trials ahead, and if you are not up to it... |
| 50022 I merely worry for the good of the group. I find it odd that Imoen weathered that ritual better than you. As I said, I thought you stronger than that. |
| 50023 Rest a moment, please. I will not go forward while you look to be in pain. |
| 50024 It's nothing, Aerie, I will be fine. Do not worry yourself. |
| 50025 I may not be in full control of myself, but the group is still mine. Push on! |
| 50026 If you say so. I just worry that you are worse off than Imoen appeared to be. It was the same ritual for both of you, wasn't it? Sorry, I don't mean to be a bother. |
| 50027 I know of Sir Keldorn. I do not doubt that he looks into this cult on his own. He is a veteran paladin of the Order, a fine warrior... if somewhat arrogant and over-pious. |
| 50028 We may rest if you are in need. I will not force a pained <PRO_MANWOMAN> to travel. |
| 50029 I am well enough. Just a momentary loss of footing. Press on. |
| 50030 My health is no concern of yours. I am fine, and I will hear no more of it! |
| 50031 It felt like I wasn't in total control of myself for a moment. It has passed. |
| 50032 So... what you're saying is that he's not too different from yourself, eh, Ano? |
| 50033 Pfeh! Like we needs another like ye in this group. Let us keep a wide berth of the paladin, is what I says. |
| 50034 Coming from you, those words sound like compliments. This Keldorn must be an incredible knight. |
| 50035 You are too far beneath my notice to even acknowledge such a comment. Repeat it, however, and I shall react much differently. |
| 50036 Must we run errands for this temple of fools, <CHARNAME>? If the rivvin of this city wish to worship an abomination and put out their eyes, what difference could it make to us? |
| 50037 I am glad that you have chosen this course, <CHARNAME>. This cult stinks of wrongness, an affront against nature that must be stopped! |
| 50038 Excellent! An adventure worthy of the name! |
| 50039 Fine, fine. I be getting to the point that I'll be willing to kill almost anything. If this beholder has blood, it'll spill like any other's. |
| 50040 It is thy doom, <RACE>, to have trespassed upon our domain. Never shall thy sphere protect thee from the gift of eternal pain that we offer. |
| 50041 An assault on the most foul and evil of creatures! Such a victory shall make us heroes to be sung of throughout the land! Glory will be ours, oh yes! |
| 50042 Why have you entered this sphere? Have the Cowled Wizards sent you from Athkatla to kill me? |
| 50043 Strong words, fiend! Have you the power to back them up? |
| 50044 Thy death shall be slow, and in that death, thou shall start to truly know suffering. |
| 50045 Mortal simpletons control us not. Thou hast invaded our domain, and so shall we invade thine! |
| 50046 Sziltar's Apparition |
| 50047 Sziltar's Apparition |
| 50048 I hope you know what you're doing! |
| 50049 What fun! The guardians awake! |
| 50050 You want us to go into the sewers... for the temple of Talos? Well... I guess if it'll stop people from mutilating themselves, I'm willing to help. |
| 50051 This cult must be investigated, but I find it difficult to respond to a Talassan priest without snarling. It is your business... but I shall have no part of it beyond this task. |
| 50052 It is disappointing that you choose to align with the faction of the Storm Lord. The Order teaches tolerance... but I shall watch you closely for signs of evil, mark my words. |
| 50053 You align yourself with a temple that threatens its followers? You would bow down before a vindictive god, <CHARNAME>? You are strange indeed. |
| 50054 Silence! <CHARNAME> has made <PRO_HISHER> decision, and the Storm Lord welcomes <PRO_HIMHER> into the fold. |
| 50055 May I ask you a question before I go? |
| 50056 I shall take my leave of you, then. |
| 50057 As the last sahuagin in the ambush falls, you hear a distinct click coming from the south. It sounds as if a door has unlocked. |
| 50058 By the gods! I have never heard of such an evil thing! Surely you and Lehtinan deserve each other's company. You shall find that I don't fall easily! |
| 50059 You must reconsider, <CHARNAME>! We must perform this service for the Watcher! Such evil cannot be allowed to continue unchecked! |
| 50060 Circus Performer |
| 50061 The Watcher is a somber and unforgiving god... and one who places duty above all else. Keep that in mind, <CHARNAME>... but also be welcome. |
| 50062 This will disappoint you. I told Lehtinan about your escape plan, and he has sent me to kill you on his behalf. |
| 50063 It is good to see such a worthy <PRO_MANWOMAN> join the ranks of a righteous league. You will serve them well, <CHARNAME>. |
| 50064 Before I go to Acolyte Byron, Oisig, may I ask you a question? |
| 50065 Before I go to Acolyte Byron, Oisig, may I ask you a question? |
| 50066 I happened to visit the slave pens, and a slave named Hendak is planning to escape. He had the audacity to ask me to help him. |
| 50067 Hendak? That ignorant barbarian slave! 'Tis a fine thing that you decided to tell me. If you're willing to go a step further, I'll reward you handsomely. |
| 50068 A reward, you say? What would you have me do? |
| 50069 I've already performed a service for you. Pay me for the information, and I will hear your next request. |
| 50070 (Hurrm...) Very well. You may have prevented a slave uprising, so I offer you this armor as thanks. The deal will become a fair bit sweeter if you finish the job. |
| 50071 What would you have me do? |
| 50072 Thanks, but I'm not interested. |
| 50073 Thanks, but I'm not interested. |
| 50074 Fine. I'll have to have my soon-to-be-fired guards do it. Thanks again for the information. Enjoy your stay at the Copper Coronet. |
| 50075 Ah... an eye tyrant. We have great cities of beholders in the Underdark... they are intelligent creatures who make formidable foes. The drow do not contest them unless necessary. |
| 50076 I have heard that some few make their way to the surface to dominate the lesser races, as this one must have. What power it could possess without its eyes, however, I do not know. |
| 50077 Go and execute Hendak for his audacity. (Hurrm...) I've got to set an example to ensure that this doesn't happen again. What do you say? Will you do it? |
| 50078 Eh? A beholder is behind this? I have heard of their powerâ€â€great power indeedâ€â€but I have never heard of one without its eyes. |
| 50079 Certainly. It would be my pleasure. |
| 50080 A... beholder? Beholders are incredibly powerful and smart! They have magic in their eyes... or, or they're supposed to. I've never heard of an eyeless beholder myself... |
| 50081 I'm not interested. |
| 50082 (Hurrrmm...) Excellent. Here is the key to the cell. Punish the slave and return to me. You shall be well rewarded. |
| 50083 Hmmm. It seems to me that if this task cannot be performed by a beholder or its minions that we are in for a chore indeed. Best to proceed most cautiously, <CHARNAME>. |
| 50084 The deed is done. Hendak is dead, and the slaves are cowed. |
| 50085 So why can't the nasty beholder go and get this rod on his own? I'll tell you why. It's likely trapped three ways from Sunday, that's what. Good thing you've got me along, <CHARNAME>. Smart thinking on your part. You'll go far, you know. Farther, maybe, than cousin Bifflechips... although he was flung by a catapult, so I suppose it doesn't really count. |
| 50086 Well done, my friend. You have done a great service for me. Allow me to offer you this reward. |
| 50087 The deed is done. Hendak is dead, and the slaves are cowed. |
| 50088 Be careful, <CHARNAME>. If a beholder needs help, there's got to be a reason, a dangerous reason, and I doubt we should place any trust in this priest. |
| 50089 Well done, my friend. You have done a great service for me. Allow me to offer you this reward. |
| 50090 Thanks again. Talk to Bernard when you wish to buy something, and you shall get a special discount. Enjoy your stay; you shall profit by your association with Lehtinan. |
| 50091 My thanks again for the service that you have done me. Enjoy the rest of your stay at the Copper Coronet. You shall surely profit by your association with me. |
| 50092 I knew we could not trust such a fiend! To arms, friends! We must not allow the beholder to gain use from the relicâ€â€ever! |
| 50093 The priest turns on us! For shame! Boo will gnaw on his eye sockets for this travesty! |
| 50094 It is too late, ghoul! Your master is dead, and you shall join him soon enough! Your evil cult is at an end! |
| 50095 Desperate words for a desperate demon! Your evil is at an end, foul one! Prepare to join your master in the pits of the Abyss! |
| 50096 Your weakness is betrayed by the quiver in your voice, rivvil! Your precious eye tyrant is so much dust, and you shall join him before the hour is through! |
| 50097 Your evil is an affront to everything I believe in! These... these mutilations are going to stop, and if it takes killing you to do that, then we will! |
| 50098 Since Lehtinan has promised us a discount, I'd like to see what you have on tap here. |
| 50099 Wait, <CHARNAME>! Stay your wrath for a moment. You there... how can we believe your words? Why are you here if you are no longer part of this cult? |
| 50100 Hold, <CHARNAME>, do not be foolish! You there... how can we be certain of your innocence? Why are you here if you are no longer members of the cult? |
| 50101 I'll see what's on tap, please. |
| 50102 I don't believe you! Prepare to die! |
| 50103 I don't believe you! Prepare to die! |
| 50104 I have sworn to deal with this cult, <CHARNAME>, and I will not forgo my promise... especially now that I am aware of its true nature. We must stop this creature, we must! |
| 50105 And what now, then, my raven? Do we pause the story midway through its telling? Remember how you achieved the portion of the rod you hold... I doubt your promise can be so easily discarded. |
| 50106 We are stopping now? Why are we stopping? We are heroes, and heroes must face the final enemy and win over all! |
| 50107 I shall mark it on your map. |
| 50108 I shall tell you for more treasure. |
| 50109 I shall tell you for more treasure. |
| 50110 If only there were a way to enslave the little pissant's mind, this would be SO much easier. I've half a mind to seal his mouth permanently! |
| 50111 There's no resisting the muse of an artist, is there? By his tone, it seems all we can do is travel to yon promenade and find this... "illithium," or whatever he named. Come, my raven, it could be a lark. |
| 50112 Illithium is a rare metal, <CHARNAME>, rarer than teats on a bull. I've heard o' ways to make a copy of the metal, an alloy if you will... mayhap we can look into that, aye? |
| 50113 I do not like the sound of this. It has a distinct ring of dishonesty about it. No matter how rude the artist may have been, we should be honest with him, don't you think? |
| 50114 It is dishonest, but no less than the cretin deserves for the demands he places upon the church. Sir Sarles could use his pride pricked, I say. |
| 50115 Such a trick would be very rude... but no ruder, I suppose, than the obnoxious artist himself. Illithium indeed! He could just as well have said "no" and been done with it! |
| 50116 Ha! So it appears it works out for the best after all. The artist rejected the material, but the alloy has been accepted on its own merits. I can live with that, certainly. |
| 50117 That's pretty funny! Everything worked out for the best anyhow! And I thought we would be in trouble for certain! |
| 50118 If the head of this temple has that kind of taste, what do they need Sarles for? I could come up with a lump like that every day. Heh... at least it worked out, I suppose. |
| 50119 Sir Sarles... I am sorry that my companion has not told you sooner. But we were not able to obtain exactly what you requested. This illithium is an alloy; it is not pure. |
| 50120 I apologize, <CHARNAME>, but I cannot partake in a lie. Even to this man, for a small reason... I simply cannot. We... we tried our best, Sir Sarles. |
| 50121 <CHARNAME>! This... this is the same child-killing gnome from Baldur's Gate! I remember! For the greater balance, his head must be brought to the authorities! |
| 50122 Boo remembers! Baldur's Gate! Neb the child murderer! You die, gnome, you die! RAAAAAGGGGGHHHH! |
| 50123 <CHARNAME>... I remember who this is now! This is a child-killer from Baldur's Gate who escaped! His head is likely worth something to the authorities! |
| 50124 I... I understand. It is an avatar of a faded god, left guarding an item that has waned in power. Loathing has replaced the worship of his followers. A lingering fate. |
| 50125 This is a god, then, or its avatar? Weakened by lack of faith... and the device that the beholder seeks no longer has great power. I wonder if the beholder knows this? |
| 50126 A pathetic existence for a god indeed. Not forgotten enough to finally die. Perhaps one day such a fate will await dark Lolth... one can only hope. |
| 50127 Cor der noror rrin doth samman? |
| 50128 So we have come all this way only to find that this item is practically USELESS?! Bah! The device's effect on the beholder had better be worth it! |
| 50129 Well. That's all very interesting. Much more so than the last time I met a god. |
| 50130 Tiny has met a god before this? |
| 50131 You have done no such thing, gnome. You would make meeting even the divine sound commonplace, wouldn't you? |
| 50132 Ol raugh corl sargh? Xunder to thuldin sonn? Thuldul ol torst? |
| 50133 Aye, I have been fortunate to see the odd deity in my time on the planes. At least those times that they chose to travel openly, that is. What manner of encounter do you speak of? |
| 50134 I am sorry, but I cannot understand the tongue you speak. |
| 50135 I don't know if you be friend or foe. Keep your distance, and I'll keep mine. |
| 50136 Speak Common, you deep-living freaks. I have no time for your nonsense! |
| 50137 Gordul! Ta jarge. |
| 50138 Ahh haha. *ahem* You must excuse my fellows. It is not often we encounter surfacers down here. |
| 50139 They can watch out for those other two. You know, the neck-biter and the mage. |
| 50140 Yes, very seldom. They do not live long. |
| 50141 It was Oghma, the god of knowledge. Although I can't say I really met him, I suppose, as he was drunk and fast asleep in cousin Roffer's back lawn. Or perhaps I should say ON cousin Roffer's back lawn... he was a giant of an avatar, sprawled out and snoring. I wonder how you get a god drunk? |
| 50142 Well, unfortunate things can happen in the depths, but we do not partake in such events. I am Carlig, a trader of sorts. |
| 50143 The "last time" you met a god? |
| 50144 That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, gnome. Oghma is a serious and wise god that deserves more respect from you... if you're even capable of it. |
| 50145 For shame, gnome. Oghma is a sober god and not at all like you describe. One should respect even those one does not worship, and not make them the butt of jokes. |
| 50146 That is a terrible thing to say, Jan! The god of knowledge... drunk on your cousin's lawn?! Were I Oghma, I would smite you where you stand. |
| 50147 But it's true! Someone had drawn a mustache on him and yanked his underwear clear up to his shoulder blades. No idea who, but all I can think is that it must have been one hell of a party. But if you won't believe me... well, as much as it hurts poor old Jan I suppose there's nothing I can do about it. *sniff* Poor Jan Jansen; he's such a liar. (Boo hoo!) |
| 50148 I truly doubt that happened, Jan. |
| 50149 I... *sigh* Sometimes, gnome, you do beat all. |
| 50150 Well, I don't know how much I approve of you making fun of a god, but it is... well, it is kind of a funny picture. *snicker* Oh, you are just so BAD! |
| 50151 One of these days, ye'll be squashed like a bug for yer impudence, gnome. Not even I would make such casual mockery of the gods. |
| 50152 Do you revoke the weakness of the sighted? |
| 50153 I do. |
| 50154 Then you revoke the false power of sight and embrace the true vision of Holy Blindness? |
| 50155 I revoke it. |
| 50156 Then what must done to set things aright? |
| 50157 Take my foul sight, master. Let the orbs and their poisonous sight be torn from my body! Let me be made pure! |
| 50158 So shall it be done! Be you pure of intent, and you shall live. Cling to the foul sight, and you shall die. Let it be done! |
| 50159 Aaaaghhh! |
| 50160 Mister Jansen again? For the last time, government will not erect a magical anti-griffon perimeter around the city. They simply aren't a threat, so stop bothering us! |
| 50161 The Unseeing Eye is always here. He sees that you are not worthy, and the blood at my feet proves it. Take him away. Throw the body down into the Pit of the Faithless. |
| 50162 It shall be as you say. |
| 50163 *sigh* Nalia de'Arnise, right? If you're here to petition your family's problem, it is already in the council's hands. I understand a committee was formed. Now stop bothering us! |
| 50164 Hmph. "Not a threat." Your family moves to the city to get away from the griffons and then you watch Grandma Jansen get carried off by one, and what do they say? "Not a threat." Thpppppfffft! |
| 50165 Well, just ignore your stupid petitions, then. By the time you people would get around to doing anything, my keep would have fallen to dust from age. |
| 50166 I am <CHARNAME>. I am looking for a couple of other "surfacers," as you say. |
| 50167 Well, as you can tell, I am new around here. What should I look out for? |
| 50168 I don't care. I just want to find the two bastards I came for and leave. |
| 50169 Oooh... wait one moment. You're Valygar Corthala, aren't you? You wouldn't happen to know a Magdelene Corthala, would you? As far as we can tell, she hasn't paid taxes in over seven years. |
| 50170 Wait... that's a dark elf, isn't it? A dark elf tax was brought into being by the council of 1107... all dark elves must pay a daily fee to remain in the city. |
| 50171 You speak of my mother, cur... who has been dead for twice that many years. An undead creature of her own making, killed at my hand. Or do you have a tax for that, too? |
| 50172 I paid my dues when rivvin attempted to burn me at the stake, elg'caress. Ask me again to pay for the "privilege" of visiting your city, and you will forfeit your tongue. |
| 50173 Well, er... never mind, then. |
| 50174 Please, friend! If you be not an illusion, help me! |
| 50175 Look, if you want to get a form for something, you need to know the exact designation for the form you want and how many copies. And that requires a directory, which |
| 50176 *sigh* If you're here to complain about the service, I'm afraid you need to fill out the Second Trout form, and we're all out of those. So sorry. |
| 50177 All is madness! Most of these beasts are not even real. The darkness is what harms you! The darkness! The rest have no substance unless you allow them to have it! Ignore them! |
| 50178 Now, if you are all here to try and get a form, all I can tell you is that... oh... it's Mister Jansen. How do you do, sir? |
| 50179 But of course. I'll have a copy of the Windy Willows form sent out to her right away... three copies, naturally, as required. |
| 50180 â€â€you only publish a hundred or so, it contains numerous errors, it has no index... and yet you charge 200 gold for a copy. And you people call US thieves. |
| 50181 How sad to see a government that no longer serves its people. It is all some form of delusion, this "service"... the council rules as they will, and everyone knows this. |
| 50182 I'm just fine, Mr. Government Clerk. You know, Ma Jansen's been having quite the time with the local constabulary, saying she can't sell turnips where she likes. Got a form for that? *wink, wink* |
| 50183 I haven't seen many strangers around here, and I talk to everyone. Well, almost. |
| 50184 Those two creepy ones were back, Carlig. You remember, the neck-biter and the mage. |
| 50185 Oh, most people will leave you alone if you are careful not to let them see you. Heh, I joke, of course. |
| 50186 Wonderful! Sorry about the gold there, <CHARNAME>... consider it a loan. One has to grease the wheels here if you're going to get anything done, you know. |
| 50187 That such bribery would be the norm is despicable... worse yet that you perpetrate it, gnome. How are the poor to get justice in such an environment? |
| 50188 I can't really tell you what to watch out for. I get along with most people, but I belong here. Your experience will be quite different. |
| 50189 That's fine for those with gold, but what about the poor? They suffer because they can't fill the pockets of someone already getting paid to do a job? It's unfair! |
| 50190 Oh yes, those two. Bad news, I would wager. I've seen them near the drow city. Must be up to dirty dealings; those ol morogh dark elves don't usually let strangers live. |
| 50191 *snort* Indeed. And this is just to get the form. Wait to see the bribe needed when his mother has to actually submit the copies to three different places. |
| 50192 No cause for that kind of statement. You'll end up dead sooner than later if you keep it up. |
| 50193 Those other two were like that too, though I think they would survive most any attack. You know, the neck-biter and the mage. |
| 50194 Those are the two I'm looking for! Bodhi and Irenicus! I'll have to go after them! |
| 50195 Well, thanks for the warning, but I'll have to take my chances. |
| 50196 Yes, well the people I meet will have plenty to worry about themselves. |
| 50197 All the members of the council are kept secret... that way, nobody knows who to bribe, you see. |
| 50198 The council is currently deliberating harsher penalties against magic use here in the city, so I'm afraid they aren't taking on any new petitions. |
| 50199 I'm sure you can agree that the council does a fine job in governing Athkatla, despite what anyone might tell you. *sniff* |
| 50200 Is that the purpose? That is odd, berk... for all the coins I see exchanging hands in this place, it would seem to me that everyone knows exactly whom to bribe. |
| 50201 Ah, and we can all see how effective their restrictions on magic are, fool. Is there a single building not harboring some mage, or a Cowled Wizard? Idiots. |
| 50202 Too bad their effectiveness does not stretch to the rest of the nation. Perhaps we should see the rebellion in Riatavin as a shining example of good government? |
| 50203 I shall stay only if the reward is sufficient. What shall you give me for my skills in this battle? |
| 50204 Well then, I'll wish you luck, though you won't be able to simply walk into the drow city. |
| 50205 So this is the road that you choose to take. Not that of boon companionship but that of finance. 'Tis not what I expected, my raven. |
| 50206 I am sorry, but I cannot help you. |
| 50207 That place will come down on your head harder than a llargh tunnel unshored. |
| 50208 Circus Performer |
| 50209 That's their choice to make, Finderlig. No need to worry them more. Ask about before you go assaulting that place. Might be a better way. |
| 50210 Begone with you! I have had enough of this infernal begging throughout this city! |
| 50211 Ha! |
| 50212 Well, in any case, I've wares to sell if you are interested. Always looking for fresh faces to trade with. No matter the color of shadow in you. |
| 50213 No, he wasn't! He's just an innocent, poor man trying to survive! |
| 50214 I'll have a look. Let's see what you have. |
| 50215 No thanks. Maybe some other time. |
| 50216 I'm not here to shop. I've more important business to attend to. |
| 50217 You see this? I'm giving him these coins as a gift, not because he's begging. You've got more important things to do than bother this poor man, I'm sure! |
| 50218 This is a somewhat awkward question, child. It is inappropriate to make demands of desperate people. Nevertheless, perhaps we can come to an agreement. |
| 50219 N-no! No, he isn't! He's... he's <CHARNAME>'s uncle, and we were... just stopping to talk to him. |
| 50220 Very well then, though I'd make your return visit soon, while you are still able. |
| 50221 In fact... in fact, here you go, uncle. <CHARNAME> wanted you to have these coins so you could get a hot dinner and someplace warm to sleep tonight. |
| 50222 Ahh, you are back. Do you require a look at my wares now, or is there something else I can do? |
| 50223 Help us fight whatever creatures come through the portal, and we shall give you the deed to the playhouse before we leave. You are a bard and shall use it well. |
| 50224 Guardsman! I am Sir Keldorn of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. This man is destitute, and you would imprison him for this? I will not stand for this! |
| 50225 I'll have a look at what you have. |
| 50226 Heard anything new about those two people I'm looking for? |
| 50227 Nothing right now. I'll be going. |
| 50228 Suit yourself. Good luck. |
| 50229 Well... it IS the law, Sir Keldorn, but... but I will... overlook it... this one time. Yes. Go on your way there, beggar... er, begone. |
| 50230 Sorry, no, I have heard nothing more about them. I do not get involved in the affairs of the drow. I'm a simple trader. |
| 50231 I'll have a look at what you have. |
| 50232 Then I'll be going. |
| 50233 M-malla c'rintri, most n-noble of drow. I, Carlig, a simple trader, welcome your passing. Lolth kyorl dos. |
| 50234 I can answer that, guardsman. The rivvil approached us to ask directions and nothing else. |
| 50235 But I have a question. There was a helpless woman mobbed and nearly burnt at the stake near here not long ago. Where were you then? Tirelessly hunting beggars, I suppose? |
| 50236 I, er... hadn't heard of that. But... as for the beggar, well... I suppose there's no reason for you, a drow, to protect him. Go on your way, old man, and don't, er, let me catch you at it again. |
| 50237 Spare my language your fumbling tongue. Show me your wares and be quick. |
| 50238 Have you seen anyone that shouldn't be here? You would know of whom I speak. |
| 50239 I wish nothing from you, worm. You will be fortunate if my mood remains so. |
| 50240 That sounds great. Just don't forget to give it to me before you leave. I wouldn't want to have to run around the planes looking for you. |
| 50241 What is this? Charity? From a dark elf? Are you going soft on me, my lascivious onyx priestess, hmmm? |
| 50242 Shiver me timbers! Did Viconia just do something nice? Quick, someone get me soap... I need to wash my drawers! |
| 50243 Of... of course. L'elend zhah alurl. I s-stand at your service, should you need. |
| 50244 It hardly seems like you, my lovely blackbird, to commit an act of charity. Are you well? |
| 50245 Capt'n Bob Holmes |
| 50246 Ahh, n... yes, yes, I have. There were two that traveled to the city, y-your city. A mage and a vampire. I assumed they were there on business. |
| 50247 Do not concern yourself. If I dislike the law in this city, it is because I know how some can be disregarded by it completely. The pathetic rivvil can rot in the Abyss for all I care. |
| 50248 N-not that I should know what business they would have with drow. That is their concern and yours. Not my affair at all. |
| 50249 T-there was another group as well. They seemed interested in where the first two were going. Again, I thought it drow business. |
| 50250 Mmmm. And I thought I was the actor of this troupe. How intriguing. |
| 50251 Mmm-hmm. Very convincing, Vicky. Next thing you know, she'll be administering to the sick and setting up a program for disenchanted prostitutes. "Oh, dear," we'll moan, "whatever happened to our wicked little Vicky?" ...ehhh... or maybe not. |
| 50252 If you see more strangers, an adventuring group, treat them well. They are guests. |
| 50253 Very good. Now, show me what you have for trade today. |
| 50254 Of course, of course. It shall be so. |
| 50255 So you say, drow. I suggest you drink more of the poison that makes up your black heart and forget such nonsense in the future. |
| 50256 I'll have a look at what you have. |
| 50257 I'll have a look at what you have. |
| 50258 I'll have a look. Let's see what you have. |
| 50259 What was that, Viconia? An act of charity? |
| 50260 A good attitude. I leave you to your trading. |
| 50261 Now, show me what you have for trade. Quickly! |
| 50262 Good. I leave you your life. Goodbye. |
| 50263 Err... if you say so. |
| 50264 Give it to me now, and you shall have my help. |
| 50265 I would be careful in this place, if I were you. Many dangers around many corners. You will be lucky to live. |
| 50266 Worry not, <CHARNAME>. I would not betray your trust. |
| 50267 Nevertheless, I insist that I receive the deed before you open the portal. |
| 50268 Just don't forget to give it to me before you leave. I wouldn't want to have to run around the planes looking for you. |
| 50269 If that is how it must be. Here, take the deed and prepare yourself. |
| 50270 Good. Let's get this over with. |
| 50271 What of these others? Who are you, <PRO_RACE>? Surely Raelis did not hire you in the hope that you would save her? |
| 50272 If you want these people, you will have to get through me. |
| 50273 Who me? I'm not involved. You can take these criminals. I'm just the owner of this playhouse. |
| 50274 Fool! I don't need to involve you. Already I have the souls of these ones attuned. Let it begin! |
| 50275 Traitor! Our trusts and hopes have been pinned on you! You betray us for the deed to a simple playhouse? Have you no morals at all?! |
| 50276 I shall stay only if the reward is sufficient. What shall you give me for my skills in this battle? |
| 50277 So this is the road that you choose to take. Not that of boon companionship but that of finance. 'Tis not what I expected, my raven. |
| 50278 I am at your service, malla c'rintri, though I do not peddle wares as others might. I have a story though, a story of battle and death. |
| 50279 I have 1,000 Amnian coins left and shall have no more use for them. Would this be sufficient? I shall give them to you once the portal is safe. |
| 50280 Give them to me now, and I will stay. |
| 50281 Lil waela lueth waela ragar brorna lueth wund nind, kyorlin elghinn! Sarn! Usstan uil Viconia! |
| 50282 It will have to do. Let us get this over with. |
| 50283 Greed has no place amongst friends. Then again, I suppose you have shown that we are not to be friends. Here is the gold. |
| 50284 Good. Let's get this over with. |
| 50285 Of... of course, malla Viconia. I am at your service in all matters. |
| 50286 Traitor! Our trusts and hopes have been pinned on you! You betray us for 1,000 pieces of gold? Have you no morals at all?! |
| 50287 Ha! Lady Luck has not smiled upon you this day. No more time for you and your ilk. Let us go. |
| 50288 Who me? I have nothing to do with these people. Leave me out of it. |
| 50289 Wait, wait! Carlig, she bears no house insignia that I know. Look at her companions! She is outcast! |
| 50290 You dare?! |
| 50291 Mordin dares nothing, I assure you, though it is simply good policy to understand who you are dealing with. |
| 50292 You must excuse my fellows, but it is not often that those not directly associated with a House pass this way. |
| 50293 If you see the second group again, treat them well. They are guests. |
| 50294 Who's that you got there? Some old rustic from the rural areas? You aren't here begging for coin, are you? It's not allowed in this district. |
| 50295 I myself have seen death here recently. Even the powerful cannot escape it. |
| 50296 What's that you got there...? You with all the scars. It looks like a scarf my son made me out of weasels a few years back. |
| 50297 I may be a rustic, good woman, but if being civilized and city-bred ingrains manners such as yours into a person, I am likely better off without it. |
| 50298 What are you talking about? Who has died? |
| 50299 Yes, yes, horrors around every corner. I'm sure you have a dozen tales and lies. |
| 50300 Well, you yourself may be seeing it a lot closer if you don't stop trying to spook me. |
| 50301 Boo is my stalwart companion, and he says that if you must wear the skins of a dead animal around your neck, the evil sharp-toothed weasel is a good choice. |
| 50302 Wait one moment... that wouldn't be Cor's son there, would it? Why, I remember when I used to swaddle you in diapers, I do! My, but you haven't changed a bit! |
| 50303 Oh, hello... why... HELLO there. It's been a while since I've seen a well-dressed gentleman of such obvious well breeding. You would be... hmm... Thayan, perhaps? |
| 50304 Oh. You must be my governess... er... Martha? Marilynn, is it? Good day to you, good woman. |
| 50305 Are you referring to me? Watch who you address with overfamiliarity, commoner wench, lest I slap you to the ground and keep you there! |
| 50306 And he hasn't changed much since you knew him, either. He still whines all the time, pounds his fists and feet when he has a tantrum, and burps after every meal. Feeds himself, though. A good lad. |
| 50307 And he hasn't changed since ye bathed him, woman. He still whines, cries, throws 'is tantrums, and belches after every meal. |
| 50308 Capt'n Bob Holmes |
| 50309 You'd barely see the difference. He still cries all the time, speaks nonsense, and burps after every meal. Fortunately, the toilet training has come along nicely. |
| 50310 Drunken Sailor |
| 50311 I shall not be made a fool of in front of my governess! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! |
| 50312 Drunken Sailor |
| 50313 Speak then, and tell me what it is that you know. |
| 50314 I am not interested in your tales. I worry about the real and the immediate. |
| 50315 No real secrets for those that travel here frequently. A trespasser that got his due from someone he crossed. |
| 50316 No lies, or even secrets for those that travel here regularly. A trespasser that got his due from someone he crossed. |
| 50317 I merely thought you would be interested in recent events. A trespasser that got his due from someone he crossed. |
| 50318 Well, I suppose it did not end in death, but it was a mighty battle regardless. I do not know who the aggressor was, but I know who lost. |
| 50319 A mage of power, I am sure, though not powerful enough in the end. A pity too. He seemed intent on unearthing an artifact of old or some such. |
| 50320 Lord Khellon Menold |
| 50321 And who was this person then? |
| 50322 Well? State who it was! |
| 50323 And his reward for his effort? Worse than death, even though he seemed willing to share. Imprisoned, magically confined in the cavern north of here. Pity. |
| 50324 What was he looking for? Who attacked him? |
| 50325 Your story is unfinished. Tell me the details. |
| 50326 You would have to ask him that yourself. I know only what I have said. My apologies. |
| 50327 I fear I have little more to say. I purposefully try to avoid excitement, especially in this place. |
| 50328 Other than the mage imprisoned in the cavern north of here, I have not seen anything unusual. |
| 50329 Oh... er, excuse me. Pardon the question, but do you have some orcish blood in you? Your features are... so strange... I don't think I've seen the like here. |
| 50330 A dwarf? We don't see too many dwarves here. Most of them are out in the hills, mining, although a few do come to town to smith and all. But not many. |
| 50331 Orcish blood? Nay, berk, none in this raven. I've perhaps a few less pleasant ancestors, none of which you'd like to meet, I'm sure. |
| 50332 Ye says that as if dwarven folk do nothing but. Mayhap I'll carve out yer intestines and prove different to ye. |
| 50333 Been pretty busy these last few days. You come through; those other two; bad sign, it is. |
| 50334 You there! You with all the scars and muscles! You look like you can heft a sword well; you should be joining the army and serving your country! |
| 50335 Wow... that is quite an impressive array you got there, sir. You must be a knight of great stature within the army. |
| 50336 Why do you say that? |
| 50337 Yes, for everyone but me. |
| 50338 You are a superstitious little fellow, aren't you? |
| 50339 Common sense. Outsiders always cause trouble. Nothin' more to say about it, really. |
| 50340 Yes, I imagine that is what the other two were thinking as well. Good luck to you. |
| 50341 No, just realistic. People around here are very... careful... about who they let wander about. I wish you luck in your travels. |
| 50342 I do not recognize you, and I thought I knew every member of the local patrols. |
| 50343 Minsc and Boo fight with swords and teeth for goodness, not for countries. We are heroes, not soldiers, funny man. |
| 50344 We are newly formed and are only just familiarizing ourselves with the area. |
| 50345 I should kill you for claiming knowledge of our routines, but I am feeling generous. |
| 50346 Well, you don't and you won't. It is not your concern. |
| 50347 I am a knight, but not in the manner you suggest. I strive to uphold not only the law but protect the helpless and innocent... in an army, it is the nation that is most important. |
| 50348 I see. Forgive my questions then. I leave you to familiarize yourselves... with the area you were born in... Good night. |
| 50349 Nalia! Nalia de'Arnise! It is so good to see you again! My dear son Filbert has been asking about you of late... will you not come again and see the dear boy? |
| 50350 Ahh, I am sorry for disturbing you. I meant no offense and did not presume to know your affairs. |
| 50351 Yes, you are right, of course. My apologies. |
| 50352 Oooh, is this the handsome actor I heard so much about with his plays in the Bridge District? You should stage them in a more suitable venue. |
| 50353 See Filbert again? *sigh* We had one luncheon together, and he liked your attempts to mash us together even less than I. Besides that, he stepped on my toes. |
| 50354 'Twas a fine enough venue, dear lady. 'Tis the play that is the thing... not the gilded hall or marbled pillars. We played such places in Sigil and fared no better, as I recall. |
| 50355 Oh... you look just like one of my maids there, elf. Perhaps you would care to fill in for her? My wardrobe has just been ghastly to organize without her. |
| 50356 Ahh! Thank you for releasing me. I was sure my destiny was to end imprisoned here forever. I have never been more glad to be wrong. |
| 50357 Excuse me there... the fellow in the robes. Could you hail a carriage for me now? I would like to be taken home. |
| 50358 Strange that my saviors are drow in nature. I mean no disrespect to your culture, but you are not known for your kindness to strangers. |
| 50359 I am indebted to you. Perhaps we might be of use to each other. I had great plans before I was so rudely interrupted. |
| 50360 Who were you battling here? |
| 50361 You must be looking for valuable treasure if you are willing to risk coming here. |
| 50362 I am part of those plans whether you like it or not. That is my price for your rescue. |
| 50363 Durst |
| 50364 I... I'm not a maid, even if I look like the one you know. And I have the feeling that if you treated her nicer, she wouldn't have left. |
| 50365 What do you mistake me for, you stupid woman? Some low-bred, filthy servant? Perhaps polymorphing you into a blind toadstool would improve your perception! |
| 50366 I see they still allow you halflings to scurry about even in the wealthier portions of the city. *sigh* Some things will never change, I suppose. |
| 50367 Ah, a dark elf here in the good districts. I thought the guards would herd you people off to the slums, along with the halflings and dwarves. Think of the property values! |
| 50368 I am unsure of that myself, though I imagine that I simply insulted a local resident with my ignorance of custom. The value of my goal may have blinded me. |
| 50369 It may have been one of your drow kin, I am sad to say, but I assure you that I meant no offense. |
| 50370 Regardless, I must continue what I have begun, and would do so with your help... if you are willing. |
| 50371 Indeed I am, and my goal may have blinded me to local custom. I fear I do not even know whom it was that I angered, but their fury was great indeed. |
| 50372 I suppose that is fair. I have already angered someone in blind pursuit of my goal, and I do not wish it to happen again. |
| 50373 Are you? That is refreshing. I have already angered someone with the blind pursuit of my goal, I would not wish it to happen again. |
| 50374 *snort* I see they still allow you rude humans to crawl out of your holes, even here amongst us civilized peoples. I suppose some things will never change. |
| 50375 I will consider it. |
| 50376 I doubt I will have time for this. |
| 50377 Hear me out, and I am sure I will entice you. The prize is wealthy, but the finding is tricky. |
| 50378 Perhaps your innards should be ground into the ashes, rivvil... and we shall see how much you worry about your "property values," then. |
| 50379 This spot is "thin," and careful spells may breach the walls between dimensions. On the other side, one might find some valuable magic, if one knows where to look. |
| 50380 If you could aid me a bit, I would be forever grateful. There will be items enough for us both. |
| 50381 What is required of me? |
| 50382 I suppose I am to be your enforcer? Someone to take the punishment? |
| 50383 You are sketchy in your details. I do not trust you. |
| 50384 Ah... Anomen Delryn, I see. If your father has sent you, dear boy, you may tell him that I did not invite him to my last function because |
| 50385 I cannot lie; there will be combat. I thought I was prepared for such, but my failure has obviously proved me wrong. |
| 50386 Hmmm... I could have sworn I wore my ring when I left the mansion this morning. I say... could any of you people have seen it? Perhaps it fell to the ground? |
| 50387 With your aid things, should go smoother... though your first duties would be less dangerous by far. A few errands... |
| 50388 I am no errand <GIRLBOY>. |
| 50389 I am no stranger to mundane tasks. |
| 50390 This is quickly sounding like it is beneath me. |
| 50391 I apologize if I have suggested anything that would demean you, but the greatest plans have simple flaws. |
| 50392 I am not here on my father's behalf, cur. If you wish to exclude Lord Cor due to his lack of wealth, that is your own business. I would not wish the foul drunk on anyone. |
| 50393 I can stay here and begin preparatory spells, but I cannot cast the actual dimension-breaching spells without the procedures outlined in my book of rituals. |
| 50394 I imagine it was taken after I was imprisoned. There were svirfneblin observing my conflict: Perhaps they took it. I cannot blame them. I am sure I appeared quite permanently lost. |
| 50395 You may be pleased to discover, however, that my father is now dead and you shall not be forced to worry about explaining your rude exclusion to him. Now begone. |
| 50396 I will fetch your book of rituals for you then. Where might they have taken it? |
| 50397 So I will be your lackey while you "prepare" here? Menial duty. |
| 50398 I have no interest in helping you. |
| 50399 I don't see it anywhere, my good chap. Perhaps you should retrace your steps a bit, eh? |
| 50400 Or perhaps THIS is it, sir. Perhaps a thief attempted to steal it from you. Regardless, it is now back in your hands once again... as it should be. |
| 50401 Might this be it, sir? I thought for a moment that perhaps your ring had been stolen from you... but here it is anyway. Here you go. |
| 50402 My recent experience has made me nervous about traveling around here on my own, for obvious reasons. I will be here whether you agree to help or not. |
| 50403 Ah... I see. Thank you very much! I... I shall be on my way, then... |
| 50404 Could you not do this yourself? It sounds simple enough. |
| 50405 I believe there is a svirfneblin village to the north. They may have taken my gear there. If you go, tell them they may keep everything but the book. |
| 50406 Thank you if you can do anything. I will be at the earth elemental portal, "softening" the area with minor spells. |
| 50407 You have returned. My work goes well, though there is only so much I can do without your help. |
| 50408 There was a svirfneblin village to the north. The deep gnomes may have taken it there. They may keep the rest of my gear, but I must have the book. |
| 50409 Where did you think your book of rituals was taken? |
| 50410 I tire of being your errand <GIRLBOY>. This isn't worth it. |
| 50411 Sorry to bother. I'll be back when I have your book. |
| 50412 Regardless of your debate, I will not allow the weak to be preyed upon. Call your man back, sir, or I shall be forced to intervene! |
| 50413 I have found your book of rituals. Here, have it back. |
| 50414 You there! Hold! I would speak with you! |
| 50415 What's to stop me from using your book to do the rituals myself? |
| 50416 He attacks? Such a display of wrongness fills even Boo with disgust! For my hamster, I must land a blow for goodness! |
| 50417 A good argument, I see. In the end, however, death and decay pay a visit to all beings. You may kill the man, 'tis true, but this sparrow believes he has the better of you still. |
| 50418 It will be worth it in the end, I promise. I would not venture into this place if I did not think it warranted the risk. If you can help, please do. |
| 50419 Thank you for you help in this matter. I will see that you get a reward for your efforts. |
| 50420 I understand your reasoning, but it is for naught. I have already memorized the necessary spells back at my laboratory. The book you have contains the rituals to complete them, not the entire spells. |
| 50421 Indeed. To survive is all that matters in the end. What good are such ideals if they do not serve you or make you stronger? |
| 50422 Hahaha! Crude... but effective. With such a point, you could bludgeon any fool into senselessness and feel justified... my kind of philosophy. |
| 50423 You see, I anticipated something like this. I have made myself indispensable to the project. I will compensate you fairly, I assure you. |
| 50424 Oh, phooey. Spoil my fun, will you? And I was winning that argument, too. |
| 50425 Fine then, here is your book. |
| 50426 Still not good enough. I'm not handing it over. |
| 50427 Then we are at an impasse that can only be solved with violence. I am sorry that it has come to this yet again. Raise your weapons, I have no choice! |
| 50428 Thank you. This will prove a profitable venture yet, I assure you. Now, to the dangerous bit. There will be three gates I must enter. |
| 50429 There will be a guardian in each, and it will not be pleased to see us. I will lure each one through in turn. Be ready with your defenses. |
| 50430 I am ready. Perform your ritual. |
| 50431 A guardian? What kind of guardian? Whose treasure is this that you seek? |
| 50432 I knew it. Now we get to throw ourselves at some creature while you relax. |
| 50433 Ah! You are Lord Valygar Corthala, are you not? I have seen you before, but we have never had the pleasure of meeting personally! |
| 50434 Very well. Let the walls between dimensions yield to me! Let the ether be made solid, that a mortal man may pass! |
| 50435 I do not know the nature of the guardians, or who placed them there. I imagine the place was a safehold of a mage from ancient times, but I cannot be sure... |
| 50436 My family has no claim to a noble title anymore, my lady. As such, I am sure you would have no interest in someone such as I, especially with my family's reputation. |
| 50437 Curiosity has driven me crazy to find out what is there. I regret placing you in harm's way, but I cannot fight the creature while maintaining the spell. I will pay you well with a share of what I find, I assure you. |
| 50438 Nonsense. I'm always willing to make room for someone of your... physique. And piffle on your reputation, it's the man that counts... and you seem quite a man to me. |
| 50439 Then perform your rituals. I am ready! |
| 50440 This is more than I bargained for. Are you certain the creature is beatable? |
| 50441 Really? Then it is almost a pity that I am too busy at the moment. Perhaps... another time. |
| 50442 Beware, noble one. It is my understanding that our ranger friend has no love for females. Ghouls, perhaps, but not females. I was rather considering coloring his leathers pink. |
| 50443 Do it! Show me, Valygar, that you are indeed a man! Show me that you have what it takes to hold a female's attention! |
| 50444 Shut up, Viconia, or I swear I'llâ€â€! |
| 50445 As you wish, drow bitch! |
| 50446 Do you require time to prepare? |
| 50447 No, I am ready now. Perform your ritual. |
| 50448 I am not ready yet. |
| 50449 Oh, I see little Miss Nalia de'Arnise has decided to regale the city with another of her visits. What will it be today, Nalia? Spreading breadcrumbs for the paupers? Licking the heels of beggars? |
| 50450 Then I will wait. Let me know when I should proceed. |
| 50451 Vicious snippet! When I see Pehllus next, I'll make sure you pay for that remark! |
| 50452 Nothing you say bothers me, Oriona. I could roll in cow dung all day long and still come out cleaner than a petty upper-class whore. |
| 50453 I'm ready now. Perform your ritual, and let us challenge this guardian. |
| 50454 I am not ready to face the guardian yet. |
| 50455 Well done. Now the way is clear for the first gate. We are close to our goal. Wish me luck. |
| 50456 Well, that was unpleasant. I cannot survive on the other side very long, which is appropriate, I suppose. |
| 50457 I have acquired some of the trove, but more awaits. Come to the fire gate. |
| 50458 Here is the second part of the journey: I will enter the Plane of Fire and returnâ€â€if I am able. Again, I ask for your well wishes. Be wary. Another guardian may protect this portal as well. |
| 50459 Another portion of the prize is ours. Come now to the air elemental gate. |
| 50460 One more trip and we shall have all there is to have. A pity I could not have known the mage that secreted these things away. They would've made a powerful friend. |
| 50461 Again I ask for your well wishes as I pass beyond. Again you must face a guardian first. |
| 50462 I return! Ahh! ...It's good to have the Prime Material under my feet. There is beauty on the other side, but it is not my home. |
| 50463 And you, my friend, my helpful stranger, I am true to my word. You shall receive your due, just as I have promised. |
| 50464 There, I trust you will be satisfied with this potent item. I have only taken a brief look at it, but I am sure it is worth the pains we took. A small portion of the whole amount, but worthy of your service. |
| 50465 I thank you. I'm sure that this enchanted rod is sufficient payment. |
| 50466 Hmm, perhaps my portion is a bit too small. I would ask that you reconsider. |
| 50467 That's it? Some simple rod? After the risk I took? |
| 50468 It will serve you well, of that I am sure. Farewell, my friend, and take care in your journey. |
| 50469 I believe that I took the majority of the risk in this instance. I was the one that traversed the planes, you know. |
| 50470 Still, if you are so insistent, I suppose that I could up your reward a bit more, though I reserve the right to take the majority for myself. |
| 50471 There, a couple of the spell scrolls that were there. That must suffice, as I will give no more. |
| 50472 That is sufficient. I thank you for your generosity. |
| 50473 That is still not enough. I must ask for more. |
| 50474 I think I deserve it all. Hand it over, or I will be forced to take it from you. |
| 50475 And I must refuse your request. I have been more than reasonable, and yet you demand more. What I have given will suffice, or we will face each other in battle. |
| 50476 I expected as much from a stranger in the Underdark. Very well, let us raise our weapons and spells and settle our feud. I regret it has come to this. |
| 50477 So you are the mercenary that Logan has hired to save us? Are you capable of defeating the druids? |
| 50478 It is enough. |
| 50479 I deserve it all! Hand it over! |
| 50480 That remains to be seen but, yes, I'm sure that I'll be successful. |
| 50481 Who in the Hells are you to be questioning me? |
| 50482 Lord Khellon Menold |
| 50483 I've only recently agreed to do so. How is it that you are already aware of my arrangement? |
| 50484 What is it, then, that our "noble" High Merchant has asked you to do? |
| 50485 I don't see how that is your business. |
| 50486 He has asked me to talk to the druid Cernd and discover why the druids and the animals are attacking the town. |
| 50487 Mind your tongue, youngster, when you speak to your betters. I'm Lord Khellon Menold, future High Merchant of this town! |
| 50488 Really? Is Logan aware that you desire his position? |
| 50489 It is you who should be mindful of your tongue's dangerous wagging. Get out of my way. |
| 50490 A halfling of high standing? What is it that I can do for you? |
| 50491 Those with money have power. Those with power can easily obtain such information. Tell me, what did our "noble" Logan ask of you? |
| 50492 I don't see how that is your business. |
| 50493 He has asked me to talk to the druid Cernd and discover why the druids and the animals are attacking the town. |
| 50494 Eh? You there... the gnome amongst you. You look very familiar. Any relation to a Count Turnipsome that I once negotiated with, perhaps? |
| 50495 Any drooling idiot can see why they attack! They want our land. They are mad with lust for it, and the evil spirit of the "grove" has made them so! |
| 50496 Tell me, do you truly wish to end our troubles, or has Logan and his asinine approach to the situation infected you as well? |
| 50497 Guardian of the Source |
| 50498 Guardian of the Source |
| 50499 Hmmm. You've lovely features there, girl, for an elf. Such lovely blue eyes. Perhaps I will forget about Oriona and the two of us shall go somewhere together, yes? |
| 50500 Executioner |
| 50501 Why should I listen to you? Logan is the leader of this town. |
| 50502 Certainly I am interested in a permanent solution. |
| 50503 I tire of your rambling. Get out of my way. |
| 50504 I've heard of whom you speak. Good-looking fellow, charming and intelligent. Also very industrious and the apple of his mother's eye. Why do you ask? |
| 50505 I shall soon be High Merchant. All of those with power in this town back me. Logan's days are numbered. What is it that Logan has asked you to do? |
| 50506 Well, I... I still haven't heard back from him about that expedition I commissioned. It had been quite some time, after all. |
| 50507 I don't see how that is your business. |
| 50508 He has asked me to talk to the druid Cernd and discover why the druids and the animals are attacking the town. |
| 50509 Well, exploring is such a dangerous profession. Perhaps his ship was sunk in a great storm on the way to Maztica. Ah, yes, I can see him valiantly manning the wheel, peering into the depths of the maelstrom, while the rest of the crew leaps from the vessel in terror. Tch. What a waste of good gold such a tragedy would be, besides taking from us such a respected gnome. Me, I get seasick. |
| 50510 Visions! More sights of my mind! Ha! I deny you! I know wherefore I remain! |
| 50511 Ingrate! Peasant! You know not your place in the world! It is better that you don't work for me, scum! Hmph! |
| 50512 Hmph. I'd rather see you "go somewhere" with your toady there. Uncle Quayle warned me well enough about dirty old men like you. |
| 50513 And you, darkest of drow, why do I see thee in my head? Dreams of dark beauty? Or nightmares of shadow? |
| 50514 More people that wander my head? What is the point? I've seen as much time and again. Curse my stagnant brain for its patterns! |
| 50515 Get out of my way, halfling. |
| 50516 The real powers in this town tire of Logan's posturing and paladin nonsense. I will soon be High Merchant, and you would do well to get on my good side. |
| 50517 Whatever you be, I banish you! I will not be a slave to phantoms! I know wherefore I am! |
| 50518 How long have you been trapped, man? |
| 50519 I have rescued you. Relax and be free. |
| 50520 I'll not listen to your raving after endangering myself rescuing you! |
| 50521 Calm yourself that we might discuss payment for your freedom. |
| 50522 Very well. I will listen to what you have to say. |
| 50523 I will listen to no more of this! Begone! |
| 50524 Why does my own mind ask the length of its stay? Do I taunt myself now? Trapped I am, and this is naught but a figment! A dream! |
| 50525 My own thoughts taunt me with freedom when I know I remain trapped! I have seen too many dreams of release to believe! |
| 50526 A drow elf? Here? One must wonder what plot the dark ones have in store. It appears justice is about to be laid... may its black and evil heart char into powder! |
| 50527 Back! Back to your hidden place in my head! BACK! I will not believe this lie! |
| 50528 Do not make me harm you! I only wish to help! |
| 50529 You are confused... perhaps mad. Calm yourself or you will come to harm. |
| 50530 Bah! I'd just as soon kill you as listen to any more of this foolishness! |
| 50531 It seems a dark elf has been caught and is about to be put to the torch. Good. Such a fate is no less than the fiend deserves. |
| 50532 Back! Your words are my own! I see nothing here but more illusions of freedom! Back! I will force you! |
| 50533 A... a drow? Here?! What could she have been up to, I wonder? And what did she do to these people that they would... burn her. N-not that anyone would need a reason, I suppose. |
| 50534 I have no love for drow, or for this drow in particular... but it seems that she has done nothing to deserve this fate other than simply be a drow. This is not justice. |
| 50535 I'm glad to hear it. The fact of the matter is, Logan's lily-footing ways will fail. I wonder if the fool even wants to stop the mad druids! |
| 50536 I... I've heard of drow, but has this one done anything criminal? They just want to burn her because she is drow. <CHARNAME>, this isn't right! Do something! |
| 50537 They... they will not burn the pretty elf? There must be no burning if she has committed no crime! This is not justice! <CHARNAME>, we stop this travesty! |
| 50538 Thhhh... uhhhh... |
| 50539 Allow me to present a bit of background to you. It will help you understand the trials ahead and what you must do. |
| 50540 Who are you? |
| 50541 I have rescued you, and now I have some questions. Understand? |
| 50542 Well, have you a bargain to give for your life, or will you die here? |
| 50543 Uh... |
| 50544 Duhhh... |
| 50545 I fear that you have lost your senses. Are you all right? |
| 50546 Helloooo, anyone in there? |
| 50547 Speak or I will end your life right here! |
| 50548 ...uhhhh. |
| 50549 I'm listening. |
| 50550 Wha... what? Who are... who are you? |
| 50551 I don't feel like hearing your sad little tale. Get out of my way. |
| 50552 I am <CHARNAME>. I rescued you from your horrible imprisonment. |
| 50553 I was about to ask you the same thing. |
| 50554 Ahh, you have your senses back. Now we can get to payment. |
| 50555 Is that what you see as justice, <CHARNAME>? I sensed great sadness behind her darkness. With balance, she might have been... well, who knows? |
| 50556 Imprisonment...? I... I have been imprisoned... so long... Oh, thank you! Thank you! I had lost my mind in the... nothingness! |
| 50557 We do not rescue her? What was her crime? Maybe darker elves are not all good, but surely not all are totally evil? I am... confused. What does Boo think? |
| 50558 I... I am... Raevilin... I think. It has been so long since I have said my name... since I have taken a breath to say my name... |
| 50559 So, that's it. She's dead, whoever she was. *shudder* The... the Underdark is a terrible, evil place, <CHARNAME>. I hope we never have to go there! |
| 50560 And justice is done. If all evil could meet such a fate, perhaps right would be restored to this world. I have pledged myself to such a cause, in Torm's name. |
| 50561 Pay... ment? I... I am free! I am free of that... thing! I... |
| 50562 You... you are drow! Why have you released me?! Am I to be slaughtered now? I will not play in your games! |
| 50563 Do not listen to the drow, <CHARNAME>. You have saved her, but you are not responsible for her. She is evil, I tell you! There is no place for her among us! |
| 50564 Executioner |
| 50565 Silence, witch! Do not take her amongst us, <CHARNAME>! It will lead only to evil! I will not have it! |
| 50566 Truth be known, I am not opposed to having Viconia travel with us. Remember, though, that many will think less of us simply because she is here. |
| 50567 Did you imprison me? I mean no disrespect, but I really don't know. I was exploring, and... and that's all I remember. |
| 50568 D-don't let her come with us, <CHARNAME>! The drow... all of the drow... are cruel, terrible creatures! They kill the avariel without mercy and cannot be trusted! |
| 50569 I would not inflict this imprisonment on another person. It seems quite cruel. |
| 50570 I cannot fathom that someone would do this to you randomly. Are you sure of this? |
| 50571 Whatever. Look, I don't care about you. I just want payment for your rescue. |
| 50572 Privateer |
| 50573 Sh-shut up! <CHARNAME>, you saved her... n-now make her go away! |
| 50574 Privateer |
| 50575 It... it was. I thank you for your mercy. Here, please take this as payment. It is quite valuable, but I won't be needing it. I'm getting out of here and out of adventuring. |
| 50576 I had not thought the drow could be so... striking. A beautiful creature, this, if devoid of compassion as I hear. Bring her or send her away, it matters not to me. |
| 50577 As sure as I can be. No, I simply do not know whom I could have made an enemy of. My group had not yet discovered anything of importance. |
| 50578 We have saved her, and she is our responsibility. What if she was captured again? Neither Boo nor I could live with ourselves. No, she must come. |
| 50579 I'm... I'm leaving. This place and adventuring both. Here, take this. I appreciate what you've done. Good luck. |
| 50580 Pipe |
| 50581 You just want...? Was this some kind of cruel extortion? Pay or face imprisonment again? Was it you that did this?! |
| 50582 I will not give you anything, and I will not be imprisoned again! |
| 50583 And what is your place? To stand at the fore and fling accusations? I have survived more self-righteous rivvin than you and done far less harm! |
| 50584 Do you claim to be an avariel, girl? Where are your wings, then? Or did they find you as pathetic and stammering as I do and fled you gladly? |
| 50585 Hah! I have nothing against you, wingless one, but from your quivering, I have no doubt you would make a poor companion. Why do you keep her, <CHARNAME>? Pity? |
| 50586 I can survive, addled one. I was taken by surprise today, but I have been among rivvin secretly for quite some time. But neither do I object to traveling with you. |
| 50587 The decision, ultimately, is <CHARNAME>'s. Have a backbone, <CHARNAME>... take me with you and I will fight by your side! Together we shall vanquish all! |
| 50588 Certainly. I trust you'll be a worthy addition to our cause. |
| 50589 Not at the moment, Viconia. Perhaps later. |
| 50590 This is not the first problem we've had with these freaks, these tree-huggers. Far from it. Last year, my company was to open a caravan route through the forest. |
| 50591 Never! I saved you, Viconia, but now you are on your own. Go... I do not wish to see you again. |
| 50592 So be it, jaluk. You are as weak as I recall. Should we meet again, perhaps you will be strong enough to allow me to return the favor. Aluve', <CHARNAME>. |
| 50593 It was to be a grand road, paved and straight. In short, it would've been the finest caravan route on the Sword Coast! |
| 50594 It sounds very ambitious. What happened? |
| 50595 This was a mistake. I grow tired of your self-serving rant. Leave me be. |
| 50596 Thhh! The battle has been so long coming! G"lth na dok! I will not be enslaved again! |
| 50597 What? Wait! We don't have to do this! |
| 50598 My crew and I began construction, but as soon as the first tree fell, a druid came running out of the bushes, screaming like a banshee! |
| 50599 He was going on about the spirit of the grove, the sacredness of nature, and some other nonsense. We gave him a knock on the head just to shut him up. |
| 50600 I will defend myself if I must, githyanki! |
| 50601 Finally, a fight worth having! Let's go! |
| 50602 The living death must be erased! I fight for a place at the side of Gith! |
| 50603 Within moments, more druids burst in casting spells at my men! They trussed me up with vines and roots! Kept us tied up all afternoon, lecturing about nature and other garbage. |
| 50604 Pendant |
| 50605 Helmet |
| 50606 Scimitar |
| 50607 Release! The living shall pay for the undeath of this prison! I walk again! |
| 50608 The insult was too much! When they did let us go, we killed a bunch of them before they ran off. The druid Verthan came to Trademeet and blamed ME for instigation and murder! |
| 50609 The churl! |
| 50610 This is idiotic! Get out of my way! |
| 50611 Yes, you are free. Have you kind words or a reward for your savior? |
| 50612 What manner of beast are you? |
| 50613 Vile creature! Back! Back to your prison! |
| 50614 The living prattle to Alchra. Ah, it has been long since I heard their screams. I will not waste time with these simian creatures. |
| 50615 Come to your deaths quickly, meat-children. I have treacherous drow to deal with. |
| 50616 Logan sided with them and forbade my company from entering the grove on penalty of death. I lost 20,000 gold pieces! |
| 50617 How does this relate to the present situation? |
| 50618 You are a cruel and selfish person. I will hear no more of this! |
| 50619 The druids grow more aggressive with each passing day. If they have their way, the entire population will be slaughtered, even their tool Logan. |
| 50620 Logan would try to make peace with the devils. I intend to end their evil. You are obviously no stranger to battle. I would wish to hire you to make my plan a reality. |
| 50621 ...AND I WILL NOT YIELD! YOU CAN NEV... what? |
| 50622 Who... who are you people? I was... I was facing a group of drow with my party, and... |
| 50623 What is your plan, and how do I fit within it? |
| 50624 I see where this is going. I will not be party to slaughter. I shall surely report this to Logan! |
| 50625 ...This... this is not right. I was fighting... I was fighting drow like you but... different drow. What is going on here? |
| 50626 Fool! You have nothing to take to Logan. Run away to your master, lapdog. It will do you no good. |
| 50627 I demand to know your intent! Where is the group I traveled with?! Speak! |
| 50628 There is an evil spirit in the grove that desires nothing less than the destruction of this town and all within it. Logan, that fool, ignores this! |
| 50629 You have drow among your group! Keep your distance from me! I will not have them near me! |
| 50630 Do not direct your wrath at me, fool! I am not your enemy here! |
| 50631 We must decide whether we are the masters of nature or slaves to it. I, for one, do not intend to be a slave. There is only one way to handle a situation such as this. |
| 50632 That way is? |
| 50633 I shall not partake in your evil. Logan shall hear of your plan! |
| 50634 We must kill the druids before they can kill us. We must destroy their source of power so that this can never happen again. We must exorcise the grove of its evil spirit. |
| 50635 The grove derives its evil magic from a "holy font" within the druid's lair. You, my friend, shall destroy the source and weaken the druids. Mopping up will be simple when the font is gone. |
| 50636 The plan has merit. Do you have a plan for destroying this "holy font"? |
| 50637 That is monstrous! How could you suggest such a thing? I will have no part of it! You are an evil little halfling! |
| 50638 I have obtained a bottle of sulfurous poison. Find the font and pour the poison into it. The druids will be weakened and easily disposed of. Will you do it? |
| 50639 <CHARNAME>? Are you... yourself? That was... the Slayer! You became a form of the avatar of Bhaal... but the god is dead... |
| 50640 <CHARNAME>, this is not right at all. |
| 50641 Vith'ir! Such power I have not seen! <CHARNAME>, what manner of creature... |
| 50642 A Bhaal aspect... a remnant of his avatar. That must be it. <CHARNAME>, you became a creature of pure murder. |
| 50643 <CHARNAME>! Are you... what was that?! Can you... |
| 50644 <CHARNAME>, that was an aspect of Bhaal... I have seen accounts in texts... you became... a part of an avatar... of a dead god? |
| 50645 <CHARNAME>! Such evil radiating from you! Are you... yourself again? |
| 50646 The Order taught of Bhaal and his forms... that was... the Slayer? You became a form of a dead god's avatar? |
| 50647 I cannot speak for your party; I have only found you imprisoned here. |
| 50648 Your imprisonment has caused you to see enemies everywhere. I will not harm you. |
| 50649 Undoubtedly they moved on after you were foolish enough to be imprisoned here. |
| 50650 I will not answer. You owe me respect for releasing you from this enchantment. |
| 50651 I was imprisoned? Damnation, that blasted drow and his spells must have gotten me! I thought they looked to be too easy an opponent. |
| 50652 Durst |
| 50653 Gellal |
| 50654 Durst |
| 50655 Gellal |
| 50656 Lonk is dead, and there are whispers and ravings as the inmates realize they are free. You hope you have done the right thing... |
| 50657 You turn a page in the ancient tome, and a magic portal suddenly opens, spawning a bloodthirsty monster! |
| 50658 The enchanted book creates several magical items for you. |
| 50659 We'd better go check on those inmates, <CHARNAME>. We don't want them running wild all over this place. |
| 50660 <CHARNAME>, we had best move quickly! The mages you have let loose will need direction, or they will be impossible to control. |
| 50661 Why don't you simply do it yourself? |
| 50662 Who are these concerned citizens that you claim to represent? |
| 50663 I'll be happy to do it. You mentioned something about a reward? |
| 50664 Now that we have released these lunatics, we had best hurry to direct them. Their madness may engulf us otherwise. |
| 50665 By Torm, <CHARNAME>! I have just received word! What have you done? Are you mad? |
| 50666 I'm not interested. I refuse to poison the grove. |
| 50667 What seems to be the problem, Lord Coprith? |
| 50668 We will not want to leave the inmates without direction for long. Quickly, <CHARNAME>, before they act unexpectedly. |
| 50669 Quickly, <CHARNAME>, these poor inmates might hurt themselves if we don't give them direction. |
| 50670 Boo is worried that these inmates will harm themselves, <CHARNAME>. We should see that they are safe and make sure they each have a hamster of their own. |
| 50671 That last part was my idea. |
| 50672 Loses all Bhaal powers |
| 50673 Wonderful. The cat is dead, and now we'll have lots of mad little mice running about. <CHARNAME>, give those lunatics a purpose or we're all in trouble. |
| 50674 Ahh, I canna stand dealing with madmen! <CHARNAME>! You had better corral those lunatics before we're all overrun! |
| 50675 Oh my, this reminds me of the last Jansen family reunionâ€â€being the *last* one for reasons that I'm sure will become clearâ€â€back on the eve of the Year of Shadows, when gods walked and magic went wild. Cousin Bungle spiked the turnip tea at the end of a particularly festive jig, and half the grandparents got soused enough to storm a nearby ogre camp. You haven't seen chaos until you've been on the receiving end of twenty drunken geriatric goblinstickers, all demanding gems and whatever ale might be on hand, I tell you. |
| 50676 Well, my point is that we had better give these mad mages some reason to stay at our party, or we're going to be in trouble up to our earlobes. |
| 50677 Are you deaf? The "honorable" High Merchant has threatened to kill me if I approach the grove. In any case, you are more suited to this sort of work than one of my high breeding. |
| 50678 We had better give a little balance to the plans of these mages we've released, <CHARNAME>, if they are to prove helpful to us this day. |
| 50679 A wise tactic to split an opponent's force with magic. Your kind are tricky adversaries, drow. I will not fall victim to the same again. |
| 50680 Hmm, a tricky lot, those drow, very smart to split my party with magic. I hope my fellows fared better than I did. |
| 50681 Enough of this... I must live. |
| 50682 Who are these concerned citizens that you claim to represent? |
| 50683 Noo! |
| 50684 I shall take that as a compliment, human. |
| 50685 Take it any way that you wish, drow. I will not waste time trying to make friends with you. I expect nothing but treachery in this place. |
| 50686 Very well, I will do what you ask. You mentioned something about a reward? |
| 50687 So, am I to face you in battle or not? I must not have been in the spell for long because my mind is sound and I know that nobody does good deeds for free. Speak your intent. |
| 50688 I'm not interested. I refuse to poison the grove. |
| 50689 Noblemen, supporters, lackeys, well-wishers... what do you care? Do you want the job or not? |
| 50690 Why don't you simply do it yourself? |
| 50691 Give me the poison, and the druids will trouble you no more. What was that about a reward? |
| 50692 I'm not interested. I refuse to poison the grove. |
| 50693 Coward... you will die! |
| 50694 Hmph. I misjudged you, coward. Run along then and play by Logan's lily-livered rules. When I come to power, you shall no longer be welcome in Trademeet. |
| 50695 I did not release you to do battle. You are free to go as you wish. |
| 50696 If you don't change your tone, we will undoubtedly clash. Other than that, you may go. |
| 50697 My intent is to profit from your imprisonment as much as possible. |
| 50698 I've nothing better to do; we might as well fight. |
| 50699 Detecting Traps / Illusions |
| 50700 Stopped Detecting Traps / Illusions |
| 50701 Well, that's an answer that gives me pause. I did not expect to meet friendly sorts in these tunnels. |
| 50702 Turning Undead |
| 50703 Stopped Turning Undead |
| 50704 Turned Undead |
| 50705 Singing Bard Song |
| 50706 Stopped Singing Bard Song |
| 50707 Slumber |
| 50708 Profit? Do you mean to say that you wish a reward? If I had any such wealth, I would have bartered my way out of imprisonment before it happened! |
| 50709 You would attack me for no reason? Even in this place, you must be especially reprehensible. |
| 50710 Wish |
| 50711 If you are having trouble with the big words, I meant that you are an ass. Bring on your pointless fight then, and I shall die for no reason. |
| 50712 Attack! Attack! |
| 50713 You'll pay something, or you'll die. It's that simple. |
| 50714 Fine, get out of here then. |
| 50715 Ah, let's just fight then. |
| 50716 Ah, yes. A reward. You shall be well paid in gold. If you do the job well, I am also prepared to offer an enchanted shield. |
| 50717 It sounds fair. Give me the poison, and I shall do as you ask. |
| 50718 I demand higher pay for the job. |
| 50719 I will, and I shall count my meeting with you as an especially low point in this lowest of places. |
| 50720 I'm not interested. Find someone else. |
| 50721 Then we will fight for no reason, and I will surely die. What a pointless way to end this! |
| 50722 This is all that we're prepared to offer. You should feel privileged for the offer. |
| 50723 Very well. Give me the poison, and I shall take care of the druids. |
| 50724 In that case, you shall have to find someone else. |
| 50725 Take care down here. Your charity will find very little appreciation from the inhabitants of this place, as you well know. |
| 50726 I especially did not expect to meet such friendly people in the form of drow. Still, actions speak loudest, and you have proven to be my friends. |
| 50727 There are dangers here for everyone, no matter how long you have stayed. |
| 50728 I worry about my safety, though I am sure I will be able to handle what comes. |
| 50729 I know my way around. I am in no danger. |
| 50730 Knowledge is the key to safety. I learned that quick, I did. To the east, you'll find a group of kuo-toa guarding a bridge. A nasty lot, they are. |
| 50731 I must try to find my way out and discover what happened to my own group. I wish you well. |
| 50732 I shall offer 200 gold pieces up front. Will you take the job? |
| 50733 Animal trouble in Trademeet: An alternate offer Lord Khellon Menold has asked that I rid Trademeet of its druidic problem. He gave me a bottle of sulfurous poison to pour into the druids' "holy font." This should weaken them enough that I will be able to kill them. Lord Khellon will be at the local tavern when I am done. |
| 50734 Yes. Give me the gold and the poison, and the druids shall be gone. |
| 50735 That isn't enough. Find someone else to slaughter the druids. |
| 50736 I demand higher pay for the job. |
| 50737 Good. Take the poison. The druids have a lair in the northwest section of the grove. The font will be there. I shall be at the tavern when you have completed the task. Hurry! |
| 50738 Good! Take the poison and the gold. The druids have a lair in the northwest section of the grove. The font will be there. Find me at the tavern when you have completed the task. Hurry! |
| 50739 You return, my barbaric employee. The bearer of good tidings, I trust? |
| 50740 Also, to the north are the gates to a drow city. I was ambushed by a drow war party near there; I barely escaped with my life. I'd urge caution if you travel in that area. |
| 50741 The deed is done. The grove is poisoned, and the leader of the druids, Faldorn, is dead. |
| 50742 I have not yet completed the task. |
| 50743 Well, get to it, <MANWOMAN>! |
| 50744 What was it that you wanted me to do again? |
| 50745 Are you daft, <MANWOMAN>? Go to the druid grove, poison the font, and kill the druids. Now stop wasting my time and get to it! |
| 50746 Well done, <GABBER>! Well deserved is this reward! We shall have no problem from the nature-lovers after this, shall we? |
| 50747 Most assuredly not, Lord Khellon. You are free to build your road or do whatever else you wish to do. |
| 50748 That is exactly what I intend to do. Logan shall not stand in my way either! Farewell, my friend! You have done the town of Trademeet a great service! |
| 50749 Animal trouble in Trademeet: A foul deed done I have slaughtered the druids and poisoned their font. Lord Khellon intends to begin construction on a road through the area as soon as he can get the necessary funds together. |
| 50750 I beg youâ€â€I am not your master! |
| 50751 I meant no harm, I swear! Please, cease your casting and... and... |
| 50752 You... you are not the ones... you are from the light? I have not seen your tone before... |
| 50753 You... you are of the drow... but not the ones that cast upon me? Have they been driven? Or are you here to complete their task? |
| 50754 But you have them among you. If you travel with the blessing of the drow, I offer my respect. I hope you shall let me live. |
| 50755 Please, speak to me of your good intent. I am humble and only wish to go home. |
| 50756 You may relax, young one. If you are Bedlen Daglefodd, then I am here to save you. |
| 50757 I don't know who you are, but you've nothing to fear from me. |
| 50758 I am here to save you, but your father did not mention what a mewling whelp you were. |
| 50759 My intent is to seek profit wherever I may. Have you payment for your release? |
| 50760 Father sent you? Then I have been trapped here for some days at least. I have heard of such dark magic, but never thought I would see. |
| 50761 Poor little deep gnome. My heart bleeds. Yours will too. |
| 50762 Then I thank you for releasing me, but I must be on my way most quickly. My father will be worried. |
| 50763 If you ever make it to our village, be sure to speak with my father. His name is Therndle Daglefodd, and he will be most grateful, I know. |
| 50764 Payment? I... no, I don't, but if you come to our granitehome in the future, my father might. |
| 50765 What? What gain is there in killing little me? Please, there may be reward for you if I am allowed to live. |
| 50766 I'm... I'm going to leave. If... if you let me live, then I will tell my father that you rescued me. He may reward you... if you let me go. |
| 50767 I must hurry to him and tell him I am all right. I will say you rescued me as well. He will be grateful, of that I am sure. |
| 50768 Kith! Urdlenglas od flus dlen den! Odg! ODG! |
| 50769 Hello! I seek passage through this realm of yours! |
| 50770 Back, or I will be forced to harm you! |
| 50771 That sounded far too hostile for my liking, creature! |
| 50772 Klodg do g'ith dal shaog gossath! Geetaaah! |
| 50773 *sigh* This isn't going to end well, is it? |
| 50774 An obvious threat! There's just no talking to some people! |
| 50775 I get the feeling that you wouldn't talk to me even if you could. |
| 50776 Sekath da glossanda! Odg! Dassa! |
| 50777 *ahem* You there, you who are there! Stand and identify yourself and your purpose! |
| 50778 There are few drow that come this way peacefully! |
| 50779 Edo, od golver d'tanyon! Da sugden os tera! |
| 50780 <CHARNAME>, and I'm not here to cause trouble. I come in peace, as they say. |
| 50781 de'Arnise Signet Ring |
| 50782 There is no need for your hostile tone. Perhaps we can do some trading? |
| 50783 Who I am is none of your business. Let me pass. |
| 50784 My purpose? My purpose is disposing of little annoyances like you. |
| 50785 I'm sorry, but your meaning escapes me. |
| 50786 Stop your grunting and speak Common, deep gnome. |
| 50787 Hmm... you are not a resident of this place, are you? Strangers from above then? Come here you should not, though useful you may be. |
| 50788 You may enter, but on your best behavior be. Go and speak to the lord of our fair granitehome. He will see to your well-being |
| 50789 And know this: I see the darkness you travel with. Friends of the drow we are not, but we will tolerate her here for now. Respect our peace. |
| 50790 Halt your threat, or there will be blood in the stone tonight. We are peaceful towards the surface and darkness alike. |
| 50791 We will defend as a group if we must, and all our granitehome be hostile to you. Now, do you restate your intent? |
| 50792 I meant no offense. My apologies. |
| 50793 I restate nothing. It is you that threaten. Defend yourselves! |
| 50794 Alarm! De ston fall duth nada! To arms, all! |
| 50795 We have peace through respect and watchful eyes. Respect it, and we respect you. |
| 50796 Hail, dark ones. You are welcome to pass if the peace is respected. We live too close for constant warring. |
| 50797 We watch over the granite of our home and stand against all that would bring the stone down around us. |
| 50798 Respect the peace of this place, and you will be respected in turn. |
| 50799 Ahh, travelers to our fair city! That would be rare enough, but you are surfacers by the look of you. |
| 50800 This passage is unpassable unless sent by the lord of this place. Speak to our lead, and he may grant access. |
| 50801 Until then, gnomish magic protects the seal. Tamper not or you endanger us all. |
| 50802 I have been informed of the permission given. You may pass into the depths if you wish, though I worry for the dangers you may face. |
| 50803 Surprising that you travel with the darkness of a drow. I mean no disrespect, but it is surprising. |
| 50804 Come, I would have words with you if you are willing to hear. |
| 50805 I find it more surprising that you svirfneblin gnomes risk my anger by constantly pointing me out. |
| 50806 No offense intended, but your kind does not often come for social visits, no. |
| 50807 Speak and I will listen, though I'm not sure what I can do for you. |
| 50808 Another group of backtunnel weaklings need my help. What a surprise. |
| 50809 I am willing to listen as long as it is gold that is speaking. |
| 50810 Da laden stoone od gam. Welcome to my makeshift inn. I say, I must, I have not seen your like here in quite some time come. |
| 50811 Ad gos'l ta stoone? Gos'l? Da rot. |
| 50812 It is a matter that I would prefer to trust to an outsider. Too much svirfneblin blood has been spilled over this as it is. |
| 50813 Spare your tone. We are not weak. There is no shame in knowing when you are outmatched. Too much svirfneblin blood has been shed over this already. |
| 50814 Gold and gems will not speak for me. We do not keep our treasured items this close to drow encampments, but I do have other things of worth. |
| 50815 I will give you details of the task first, and you may decide if you wish to accept. I tap rock that you will. |
| 50816 As you can see, our granitehome village is quite empty. I have sent the majority to deeper climes far from here. It was no longer safe, and it is our own fault. |
| 50817 We tunneled too deep recently and unearthed a monstrosity. A strange cavern that yielded death, a monster we have not seen outside of dreaming. |
| 50818 This ring was given to Nalia by her father upon her ascension to adulthood. Bonded to her blood as it is, the ring may not be removed from Nalia, nor its powers used by anyone else. The ring grants a +2 bonus to all Saving Throws, a +2 bonus to Armor Class, and a 50% bonus to Fire Resistance. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 – Saving Throws: +2 – Fire Resistance: +50% Weight: 0 |
| 50819 The task I ask of you is simple to explain, but difficult in deed. I ask that the beast be killed and the tunnel be closed. |
| 50820 Could you not just collapse the tunnel upon the creature? |
| 50821 Light Gem |
| 50822 You deep gnomes are supposed to be diggers. Why not bury it yourselves? |
| 50823 Light Gem |
| 50824 I will trade you words. I need information about some fugitives I am chasing. |
| 50825 I will help as I can, but my matter takes importance. Too much svirfneblin blood has been shed over this already. |
| 50826 Bow of Arvoreen +2 |
| 50827 This enchanted bow has been in Mazzy Fentan's possession for several years, given to her by her god, Arvoreen. It is usable only by halflings, granting a +2 bonus to hit rolls. STATISTICS: THAC0: +2 Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Shortbow Type: Two-handed Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 2 |
| 50828 The tunnel will readily collapse, of that we are sure. What is unsure is whether that would kill the beast now that it is awakened. |
| 50829 As I said, it is a beast out of dreams, or nightmares, if you prefer. It is not of the rock. I do not know what to call it. |
| 50830 Awakened? What kind of creature are you putting me up against? |
| 50831 I get the feeling that this creature is not natural? |
| 50832 I am listening, but keep in mind that we are not the richest of granitehomes. We are under constant pressure with the drow being so close. |
| 50833 The goal is clear enough. Now I must mention what I will need from you. |
| 50834 Yeah, yeah, kill and bury it. Easy enough to say, but what will be my reward? |

| 50852 This is the holy font of the grove. It is a mystical pool whose powers are open only to friends of the grove. You are not one. Leave! |
| 50853 I shall leave. |
| 50854 It is sacrilege for you to even look upon the holy font! Do not return! |

| 50866 Wait until Faldorn hears of your impertinence! She shall surely change her mind and kill you where you stand! Leave the grove and do not return! |
| 50867 What audacity! Have I not made it clear that you are not welcome here? |
| 50868 I just wanted to know what sort of pool this is. |
| 50869 You have made it clear. I shall leave. |
| 50870 Hah! You are certainly not one to be giving orders to me! |
| 50871 Hold! What are you doing? What have you placed in the holy font? Oh my... |

| 50917 My name is... ah... Veldrin. |
| 50918 NO! How could you do this?! The grove has been poisoned, and the spirit will die! The land is doomed! |
| 50919 My name is Veldrin. |
| 50920 The name is Veldrin, and I demand the respect I am due! |
| 50921 My name is <CHARNAME>... |
| 50922 Call me whatever you like. It obviously doesn't matter. |
| 50923 Egg Guard |
| 50924 Egg Guard |
| 50925 Hmph. You sound so uncertain. You obviously have not held the name long. I am to be saddled with the recently proven, is that it?! A poor assignment... |
| 50926 No matter. One of the matron mothers has taken an interest in your arrival and wishes to avail herself of your skills. |
| 50927 She has sent a Handmaiden to speak with you at the entrance platform to the city. I shall be there, no doubt, to herd you on your mission like a nursing mother. |
| 50928 Drow Bartender |
| 50929 I will go to seek her out now. If you are intelligent, you will go to the entrance platform quickly. The Handmaidens are notoriously impatient. |
| 50930 Drow Bartender |
| 50931 No backbone, just as I suspected. Am I to be saddled with a drow who has all the fierceness of a jelly? If I find out who is behind this assignment... |
| 50932 Hah! You shall get none from me, regardless of your achievements in Ched Nasad! But your spirit may serve you well in Ust Natha, if you know when to show it. |
| 50933 What manner of name is that? A nursing name you have only recently shed? Am I saddled with one who is newly proven?! If I find out who arranged this assignment... |
| 50934 You see a hole small enough for a rodent. Too bad you don't have some way to change into a rat or a squirrel. |
| 50935 I know your name is Veldrin, even if you cannot remember it. Obviously, you are barely a century... if that. Collect your wits to survive here, fool. |
| 50936 Surfacers other than you? Ahh, I know of them, but you will have a hard time finding them. They passed within the city of the drow, Ust Natha. |
| 50937 I require no payment for helping others, but I seek two surfacers that came this way. |
| 50938 I don't care about that. You will pay me, and you will tell me about two surfacers I seek. |
| 50939 You could probably use your potion of squirrel change to enter the tunnel. (Click hole again to use potion.) |
| 50940 Ha ha! I like your spirit! I'd name you Waela, the fool, but I am told your name is Veldrin. That spirit will serve you well, if you know when to squelch it. |
| 50941 You are a fool, surfacer! If you had intended to infiltrate the ranks of the drow, you should not have acted to pose even more questions for us than had already existed. |
| 50942 Did you think you were not being watched? Do you think the drow have survived for eons without suspicion etched onto our stony hearts? |
| 50943 Your lack of compliance to my orders, your lateness, has brought the scrutiny of the matron mothers upon you, and they now know you for what you are! Prepare to die, fools! |
| 50944 You had much promiseâ€â€it surprises me to find out what a fool you actually are, Veldrin... or whatever your name is. |
| 50945 Are you surprised? A true drow would not be. A true drow would know that you do not disobey, for the suspicious eyes of the Daughters of Lolth lie everywhere in waiting, watching. |
| 50946 The Spider Queen has turned her baleful eyes upon you and revealed your true form, surfacer! You were a fool to come to Ust Natha... Now wail in fear, for only death awaits you! |
| 50947 Why has such a thing come to pass? It was not Faldorn's savage leadership alone! It was YOUR choice to perform the evil act! |
| 50948 I advise caution in this place. We are fortunate not to be taken hostage as foreigners and sold as slaves. If they mean for us to prove our place, we must serve the matrons utterly. |
| 50949 Any misstep, no matter how slight, will draw the attention of the Spider Queen's watchers. And no doubt they are already curious about us... we do not need their scrutiny, yes? |
| 50950 Remember: absolute obedience to those of greater rank, especially the Handmaidens of Lolth and the matron mothers. To those of equal or lesser rank: no mercy. |
| 50951 Otherwise, take advantage of whatever favor is thrown your way. For ones such as us, it is the only way to achieve what you are not born to. No mercy. It is our way. |
| 50952 If ye've a thought in yer belly of wanderin' off or rebellin', <CHARNAME>, this would be the time to be forgetting such thoughts. I've no love fer the stinking drow, but I know when I be in their lair. |
| 50953 The lesser drow... that be us... they steps to the tune of their priestesses as quick as ye please. Or they die a thousand horrid deaths that'd make Clangeddin shy his eyes. |
| 50954 An' the drow trust each other e'en less. There be eyes everywhere, magic and not, that will watch our moves. We must act like the dark ones. Remember that. |
| 50955 Ah... the role of the lowly supplicant. I know this path well, my raven. We must play the eager servants to these black-hearted elven folk and step to their tune most lively. |
| 50956 The alternative is to suffer their suspicious eyes and magics... and we know not what eyes already follow us. Best we do exactly as we are told lest we be revealed, aye? |
| 50957 We must be subservient, <CHARNAME>. To them, we are lesser drow and no doubt under suspicion. Any sign of disobedience would bring scrutiny upon us. |
| 50958 The drow have a harsh culture, one I am not overly familiar with. We must harden our hearts if we are to blend in. The alternative is discovery and death. |
| 50959 This is an evil place you have brought us, <CHARNAME>. But I suspect that we must act the eager supplicants if we are to pass inspection, for I feel eyes upon us as we speak. |
| 50960 We should step quickly to comply. The suspicion of the drow is almost palpable, and any wrong move will surely bring their foul magics down upon us. |
| 50961 Do not address me directly, worm! Any more impertinence from you and you shall feel the lash of the tentacle rod as it flays the flesh from your bones! |
| 50962 Your story has been verified so far, Veldrin of Ched Nasad, and that is why you have not been sold as a lowly slave or made an amusement in the tavern... but you still have no place here! |
| 50963 Ahh... it is about time you came. Handmaiden Imrae almost set priestesses on you to lash your ankles with the tentacle rods to hurry you along! |
| 50964 But you are here now. A matron mother has designated a task for you. Imrae, favored of Lolth, these are the travelers from Ched Nasad. |
| 50965 You are fortunate indeed that many of our finest warriors are busy with... preparations. Elsewhere. Fortunate enough that a matron mother has decided to make use of you. |
| 50966 Cling to that sole hope, worms, and do not fail the matron mother... for if you do, the horrors of your punishment shall be far more terrible than had we beset you at the gate! |
| 50967 Explain what has occurred, Solaufein. And be quick about it, male, for the Spider Queen demands my attention. |
| 50968 You have come. Good. Your time in Ust Natha will be far less unpleasant if you continue to perform as you are commanded in a timely fashion. |
| 50969 As I said, a matron mother has designated a task for us. Imrae, favored of Lolth, this is the traveler from Ched Nasad who might be of great use. |
| 50970 When you are in the presence of one of Lolth's favored... or a matron mother... you do not speak until spoken to, fool! Where is your sense?! |
| 50971 Forgive me, Handmaiden Imrae... this is the worthless excrement from Ched Nasad. I knew <PRO_HESHE> was worthless when I first laid eyes upon <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 50972 I shall see to it that <PRO_HESHE> is tortured most severely for this! I shall attempt to find others who may serve the matron mother's will far better! |
| 50973 Forgive me, Handmaiden Imrae... this was a most promising <PRO_MALEFEMALE>, by my judgment. But young and recently proven... and lacking in intelligence. |
| 50974 I was in error to bring them. I shall send them back and find others who may serve the matron mother's will. Please accept my most humble |
| 50975 You shall do nothing with them, male. They will have to do. You will be punished later. For now, I will address the <PRO_MALEFEMALE> personally. |
| 50976 At once, Handmaiden. If I were to speak of the devourers, Veldrin... you would know what of I speak, yes? |
| 50977 You mean the illithids? Yes, I know what they are. |
| 50978 You mean the mind flayers? Yes, I know what they are. |
| 50979 Er... are you talking about an otyugh? |
| 50980 No, I don't know. |
| 50981 Yes, I believe that is the name they call themselves... very intelligent of you. The psions have long been one of our fiercest enemies. |
| 50982 Mind... flayers? Flayers of the mind? An interesting term for the psionic devourers, perhaps native to Ched Nasad? No matter, you are correct. |
| 50983 No, you doltish fool! I speak of the devourers... illithids! Tentacled psions that devour brains... although in your case, they may overlook yours. |
| 50984 Ah. I speak of the illithids, Veldrin. Tentacled psions that devour brains. I thought you might have seen one or two on your journey. No matter. |
| 50985 A matron mother's eldest daughter ran afoul of devourers while scouting. Her fool companions fled or were slaughtered, and she was taken captive. |
| 50986 They know a prize when they have one, the devourers. They will bring the daughter to their city, and should they reach it, she shall be lost forever. |
| 50987 With the... preparations... of the armies, we are the only ones who can intercept these devourers. We must go to their cavern entrance and wait for them. |
| 50988 Handmaiden Imrae has given me a blessed item of Lolth that will pull the devourers from their astral travel there... and it is there we must pounce. |
| 50989 The matron mother has no desire to see her eldest daughter become a snack for the devourers, so we must not fail! Do you understand, Veldrin? |
| 50990 Now before you ask, I may know a way into the drow city. Well, I know a being that might help you. She could see you safely inside, but after that, you would surely be dead. |
| 50991 No offense, malla drow, but I see you do not wear the symbols of any House that I know. You would fare no better in there, especially with your current companions. |
| 50992 Indignity after indignity. Get on with your safe alternative, Goldander. |
| 50993 If such is the risk you would take, I will gladly point you in her direction. The great staircase goes to her lair. It is the blackest of all the tunnels, but there is glorious light on the other side. |
| 50994 She is called Adalon by choice, though "my lady" will suffice just as well. Show respect, and you will have it in return. |
| 50995 I don't need you if she knows about the two I seek and has a way to get to them. |
| 50996 If she is so powerful, why don't you get her to help you? Why use me? |
| 50997 I am to meet you at the entrance to the illithid caverns and ambush some illithids who have a matron mother's daughter captive. |
| 50998 Exactly. The illithid tunnels are in the southeast portion of the main Underdark cavern. I will be scouting, and you will find me there when you arrive. |
| 50999 We do not expect the illithids for some time yet, so you have the opportunity to rest and resupply yourself, if that is what you wish to do. |
| 51000 You must meet me at the entrance to the illithid tunnels within the next twelve hours, no more. Do not be late. |
| 51001 Indeed. There are many exquisite horrors that may be found for you in the Demonweb Pits should you fail. And if you decide to run, the driders will eventually track you down. |
| 51002 As for you, Solaufein... the matron mother expects even better from you. Report to the temple before you leave the city. |
| 51003 You drink the potion, transform into a squirrel, and enter the tunnel. |
| 51004 As... as you wish, Handmaiden. |
| 51005 Good, you are here. I was beginning to wonder how long I would have to remain waiting amongst these forsaken rocks before you showed up. |
| 51006 But your timing could not be better. I sense that the illithids will come within range soon, and I may safely pull them out of the Astral Plane. |
| 51007 Have you a question before the battle, Veldrin? Make it quick. |
| 51008 Finally, you show yourself! I thought I would have to search for you in this forsaken cavern, or find your useless carcass dead at the hands of a svirfneblin! |
| 51009 The druids under Faldorn's leadership tried to destroy an entire settlement. They got what they deserved. |
| 51010 Perhaps destroying the life of the grove was a bit heavy-handed. What else was I to do? |
| 51011 The illithids draw near with their captive, and soon I shall draw them out of the Astral Plane for our ambush. I do hope you fight better than you think. |
| 51012 Faldorn, though her methods were flawed, wanted only to stop the invasions. You needed only to kill Faldorn to bring balance back. Yet you chose to poison the very land itself?! |
| 51013 Who, exactly, are we here to rescue? |
| 51014 Is there anything I should know about fighting the illithids? |
| 51015 All is ruined! Chaos reigns, and the land dies! I cannot allow this crime to go unpunished! <CHARNAME>, spawn of Murder, death is your sentence for this travesty! |
| 51016 A disturbance? The grove suffers... what has happened here? |
| 51017 Oh gods... |
| 51018 No... no...! |
| 51019 It burns the very soul of the grove! The water is dying! All is lost! |
| 51020 Aaagh! |
| 51021 I'm sorry about you being punished. I didn't mean to anger the Handmaiden. |
| 51022 No, no questions. |
| 51023 Her name is Phaere of House Despana, eldest of the Matron Mother Ardulace. Be sure that you do not harm her, even by accident. |
| 51024 Do not expect to be rewarded by Phaere if our rescue is successful... she expects no less from lesser drow. We have no choice in the matter. |
| 51025 But enough talk. I sense the illithids' approach. Wait and I shall bring them out of the Astral Plane when they come close. |
| 51026 Not much. Strike quickly before their mind powers can leave you helpless for them to devour your brain at their leisure. Protect yourself, if you can. |
| 51027 Not that I expect you to aid me much in this coming battle. With one such as you at my side, I fully expect to perish at the hands of the devourers. Pfeh! |
| 51028 You are not very drow, to show such a weakness as sympathy. Keep your heart as steel and destroy the illithids. This will please me more than an apology. |
| 51029 Although I... appreciate... the thought behind your words. Handmaiden Imrae enjoyed administering her punishment excessively. It was... difficult. |
| 51030 As you wish. Do not hesitate to strike the illithids when they come, and you shall please both me and the matron mother both. |
| 51031 It is about time that my captors were finally defeated. Hmph. I was beginning to think that they would reach their illithid city after all. |
| 51032 Greetings, Phaere, daughter of Ardulace. I trust you are uninjured? |
| 51033 Who is that? Solaufein? So... matron mother sent you, did she? How that must gall you, risking your life to save mine. |
| 51034 I did as I was commanded. |
| 51035 Yes, you did... as any male should. You have done well enough, I suppose, you and your... assistance. Hmmm... who is this <PRO_MALEFEMALE> with you? |
| 51036 That one? That is |
| 51037 I am sure <PRO_HESHE> can speak for <PRO_HIMHER>self, male. Am I correct? You have a tongue, yes? Who might you be? |
| 51038 I am Veldrin of Ched Nasad. |
| 51039 I am no one of importance. |
| 51040 You've a lot of nerve, woman! We just saved you from the illithids, and all you can do is insult us?! |
| 51041 Indeed? A foreigner? How very odd. We shall have to speak more, you and I, once we are back in Ust Natha. |
| 51042 An excellent attitude to have. But I am sure there is more to you than that. We shall have to speak more on this when we are back in Ust Natha. |
| 51043 Ahhhh, we have a feisty lesser <PRO_MALEFEMALE>, do we? We shall have to discuss this attitude when we are back in Ust Natha. |
| 51044 You may not need me specifically, but she does not entertain just anyone. She is a creature of... discriminating tastes, perhaps out of character for her species. |
| 51045 What manner of creature is this Adalon? Is she svirfneblin like you? |
| 51046 I shall head back to the city on my own and inform the matron mother of your... successful service, Solaufein. You have proven useful. You should be grateful. |
| 51047 You are going to return on your own? No! What if you encounter danger once again?! I shall not be responsible for |
| 51048 I appreciate your touching "concern," but I can handle myself, Solaufein. And it is my command, so you have no choice. Farewell. |
| 51049 Blasted, arrogant wench! May the Spider Queen bite at her black heart! |
| 51050 She is receptive to help, of course, but she more respects those that help themselves. She is a creature that keeps very particular company, perhaps more so than others of her kind. |
| 51051 I shall follow her, to ensure her overconfidence does not endanger us all. Return to the city on your own, Veldrin. I shall meet you at the city's entrance. |
| 51052 Oh, goodness no. She is a creature of great beauty, as you will hopefully see. She does keep very particular company though, more so than others of her kind. |
| 51053 I'm sure she will see to your concerns if you approach politely, but I fear I must restrict your access until the needs of my village are met. |
| 51054 The passage to her lair is guarded against intruders by a force of her design. It is the blackest of dark, preventing even the drow entry. |
| 51055 You have returned, finally. Good. Bad enough that I had to worry over Phaere's safe return; I was not about to start concerning myself over yours. |
| 51056 Yes. The daughter of the matron mother is safely returned. You have done an excellent service. I am told the matron mother is pleased. |
| 51057 When the beast in the cavern is dispatched, I will give you a light gem to banish the darkness of the tunnel. I carry it with me always, but I will gladly give it to you for this service. |
| 51058 Phaere has also sent a command to you which must not be ignored. You are to meet her in the tavern here in the city. She wishes to speak with you, although I cannot wonder why. |
| 51059 Saying that was a mistake, fool! I will kill you and take the stone! Forget your deal! |
| 51060 I will help, but you will pay more than that. Now, where must I go? |
| 51061 Fair enough. Where must I go to find this beast you need killed? |
| 51062 Kamuzu |
| 51063 She asks for you too, Solaufein. You are all to rest and relax in the tavern as a... reward... for your service. |
| 51064 But, Handmaiden, I have no wish to |
| 51065 I am glad of your decision. The passage is to the northeast, guarded by one of my best breachgnomes. He will let you pass now. |
| 51066 Do you wish to earn punishment a second time, male? You shall do as she says. She shall see all of you at the tavern within a day's time, no more. That is all. |
| 51067 What?! This is madness! The dark has taken your senses! Guards! Ada gon' tonda! Gi! |
| 51068 Take this stoneshape scroll. It is linked magically to the stone of the cavern. When the beast is dead, use this to bring the cavern down upon it. I shall make it a forbidden area forever after. |
| 51069 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. You do not know the good you have done here. |
| 51070 You are welcomed back. We had worried for your safety as though one of our own were in danger. |
| 51071 I heard the rumblings of your battle, <CHARNAME>, and I am glad to see you alive. I thank you immeasurably. |
| 51072 You have no business with me, <PRO_MALEFEMALE>. If you have business in the temple, go to it quickly, or I shall sacrifice your heart for the pleasure of Lolth. |
| 51073 Why do you speak to me? Shall I strike you with the tentacle rod and teach you the error of disturbing a Handmaiden of Lolth? |
| 51074 If the Matron Mother Ardulace wishes you to walk about unescorted and not sold into slavery, that is her business. You have no place here in this temple, however... so begone! |
| 51075 I hope you have not given up on your promise. While the beast lives, we are all in danger. |
| 51076 Kamuzu |
| 51077 Manipulate the facet to release a trapped soul. |
| 51078 You have released a lost soul. |
| 51079 That is all I can do for you. |
| 51080 With the tunnel collapsed, the creature will not be disturbed again. I know it is dead, but who knows what could happen with such things? |
| 51081 Despite your great action, I must ask you to return to the cavern where you fought the evil thing. It must be collapsed with the scroll that I gave you. |
| 51082 It will trouble you no more. |
| 51083 I am through with your task. Now to payment. |
| 51084 What do you want?! Bad enough I am forced to attend the wishes of that fiendish witch... must I also continue to endure your insipid presence?! |
| 51085 Cool down, I just wanted to ask you a couple of questions. |
| 51086 Just what is your problem with me, anyway? |
| 51087 Keep on speaking to me like that, and you'll have a blade where your heart used to be! |
| 51088 I suppose I'll go elsewhere, then. |
| 51089 Questions?! I'll not endure your endless badgering, fool! Run around flapping your arms, and I'm sure you'll draw plenty of drow to answer your "questions." |
| 51090 There's no need to speak to me like that, really. |
| 51091 Keep talking like that, and you'll be breathing through extra holes. |
| 51092 Fine, I'll go. |
| 51093 My problem is that I do not wish to be associated with a gutless, dull-minded drow like yourself a moment longer than I am required to. Slither away, fool. |
| 51094 There is no need to talk to me in such a manner. |
| 51095 Yes, and with all haste. I will not delay your own goals a second longer. Please, accept this magical item as partial payment. |
| 51096 And also the light gem. With this, you will be able to pass the great stairs and enter the lair of Adalon. I wish you well. |
| 51097 And the light gem as well. Here... it... it does not seem to be here... It is gone! You have... you have taken it! |
| 51098 You have disgraced our deal and stolen a precious item I would have been willing to give! We owe you nothing more! Get out of here! |
| 51099 We have no more to discuss. Your efforts here were appreciated, but we must move on to other concerns. |
| 51100 Iblith! Er... forgive my outburst, malla drow, but... but I am not used to seeing your people... grace our granitehomes with your presence. |
| 51101 Go about your business, Goldander. I will not disturb you. |
| 51102 It is not surprising. Your people are quite literally beneath our notice. |
| 51103 And they never shall again! Defend yourself! |
| 51104 As you wish it to be. My guards will not harass you... so long as you return the favor. |
| 51105 Your views are well known; let us not risk unpleasantry by repeating them here. You are, of course, free to come and go as you will. |
| 51106 Madness! We are peaceful here! Guards! Od godden Steth! |
| 51107 I stand ready to offer quiet of soft beds if you wish. Ask and you shall have, you shall. |
| 51108 Is there a gnome here who had lost his son? I might have some news for him. |
| 51109 How is it that you can operate here when there are potential raids by drow? |
| 51110 No small talk. Just let me see your services. |
| 51111 You must mean Therndle Daglefodd you must. He has not seen his boy for several wakings. You may find him with his metalworks. |
| 51112 Keep talking like that and we'll be crossing blades! |
| 51113 Fine, I'll go. |
| 51114 Just what is your problem with me, anyway? |
| 51115 Calm down, I just want to ask a couple of questions. |
| 51116 Hmph. Well, perhaps there is a spine somewhere in there after all. Stand down, fool. I've no wish to spill blood. |
| 51117 It was not your fault that I was assigned to be your caretaker here, I suppose. More machinations of the witch and her unholy mother, I would imagine. Pfeh. |
| 51118 What's the deal with you and Phaere? |
| 51119 What's there to do here? |
| 51120 Do you know anything about dragons in these caverns? |
| 51121 I'll be on my way. |
| 51122 Do that. And do not bother me further. |
| 51123 Obviously there is, since you are still here speaking to me. Go elsewhere or I shall be forced to slice you open like the mewling cattle that you are. |
| 51124 Calm down, I just wanted to ask you some questions. |
| 51125 Perhaps we'll just see who slices whom! |
| 51126 Fine, I'm going. |
| 51127 That is something I would rather not discuss, Veldrin. With you or with anyone. |
| 51128 Suffice it to say that I have had dealings with Phaere and House Despana once before. Due to my own alliances, however, they cannot take proper revenge. Yet. |
| 51129 What's there to do here? |
| 51130 Do you know anything about dragons in these caverns? |
| 51131 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 51132 There are many entertainments to please even the most cruel or lustful amongst us, Veldrin. I am sure you can find something. I myself am rather uninterested. |
| 51133 Tell me, then, what's the deal with you and Phaere? |
| 51134 Do you know anything about dragons in these caverns? |
| 51135 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 51136 Eh? Dragons? Dragonkind can be found throughout the Underdark, Veldrin, as I'm sure you well know. Some walk amongst our kind, when it suits them. |
| 51137 But in the vicinity of Ust Natha, I would have to say no... there are few dragonkind found here. The most dangerous were driven off long ago. |
| 51138 It is said there is an ancient dragon of silver that guards the old passages to the surface, where our hated cousins live. Perhaps the stories are true. |
| 51139 What is the deal with you and Phaere? |
| 51140 What is there to do here? |
| 51141 I'll be going, then. |
| 51142 As you wish. |
| 51143 What is it, Veldrin? I wish nothing more than to be left on my own and beyond the clutches of that Despana witch. |
| 51144 The drow leaves us be to be. There's no real interest in wiping us out. Small outpost, we are. |
| 51145 Still, sometimes they come with murder in mind. More for sport, I think, because they never follow too deep. Peaceful most times though. Most times. |
| 51146 May I see what services you offer? |
| 51147 What's the deal between you and Phaere, anyway? |
| 51148 Can you recommend anything to do around here? |
| 51149 Do you know anything about dragons in these caverns? |
| 51150 Then I'll be on my way. |
| 51151 Leave me be, female. Your kind has given me more than enough grief to last me a millennium. Is it not bad enough that I was dragged here against my will? |
| 51152 Oh no, I would not dream of you staying here, good drow. This place is beneath you, so far beneath. |
| 51153 I have no desire to speak to you or anyone, drow. Begone. Tell your tales of Ched Nasad to those who would care. |
| 51154 Please, accept my apologies for the state of this place. There are surely better places for you to sleep. Safer as well. |
| 51155 Ah! So Veldrin arrives at last to greet the female that <PRO_HESHE> rescued so valiantly from the clutches of the filthy devourers! |
| 51156 You will display your services, and you will do so now! |
| 51157 Very well, I shall seek my shelter elsewhere. |
| 51158 That is for the best, it is. I know this, I do. |
| 51159 Is there one among you that has lost their child? I would speak to him. |
| 51160 I beg you, torment him not! He is worried no end, and your games will upset! Therndle Daglefodd is who you ask of, but please, leave him be. |
| 51161 Ah. I must have been invisible and uninvolved during that encounter, I see. |
| 51162 I was speaking to Veldrin, Solaufein. When I speak to you, it shall be to command you to lick my boot. Keep your bitterness silent or lose your tongue. |
| 51163 I will do as I see fit. Now, display your services! |
| 51164 It is none of your concern what I do. I will continue with my mission as I see fit. |
| 51165 Now, ignore your emasculated commander's outburst, Veldrin, and consider this a time for reward and enjoyment. Mother Ardulace was pleased by your performance. |
| 51166 As you would have it. |
| 51167 Solaufein's abilities are known to her, but she was delighted to learn you are such a powerful fighter. Ust Natha could use such as you, Veldrin. |
| 51168 Amongst the drow, only the strong survive... You could have slaves at your beck and call, rewards at your fingertips... the favor of Lolth. How does this sound? |
| 51169 Forgive my intrusion, but I have news. I found your child and set him free. |
| 51170 Therndle? I have news of your child. It is yours that was missing, isn't it? |
| 51171 I am interested in seeing what you have for sale. |
| 51172 My child? He did return most recently, and had a tale of rescue to tell. I thought him mad from hunger, or worse. |
| 51173 Sounds good to me! |
| 51174 What's the catch? |
| 51175 I don't think I'm interested in anything you have to offer. |
| 51176 I do not know why you taunt me, though. You are no surfacers; you are drow of Ust Natha. He said surfacers rescued him. |
| 51177 I think I'd rather have you. |
| 51178 Do not play these tricks. I will await those that saved him and reward them as I should. You may see my store, but that is all you will get. |
| 51179 Excellent. It is good to see someone with a modicum of ambition. Something not everyone has a true grasp of... isn't that right, Solaufein? |
| 51180 Perhaps <PRO_HESHE> has not yet seen the hook behind the worm, Phaere. The ignorant are always blissful. |
| 51181 Sometimes the worm is worth the hook, fool. One might have thought you would have learned that lesson long ago. |
| 51182 You did not do the rescuing though. My son said drow saved him, and I would believe him over you. |
| 51183 The catch is that you have to earn that favor, Veldrin. Favor and comforts are not given out lightly... they must be purchased with blood and sacrifice. |
| 51184 Good riddance. |
| 51185 Very well... for now. What do you have for sale? |
| 51186 Outrageous! You will regret this! Goodbye! |
| 51187 I am the surfacer that he saw. I am enspelled to look like a drow. |
| 51188 Silence! Not all drow forget that sometimes a reward is worth spending a part of yourself... or everything. It is a lesson you would do well to relearn. |
| 51189 I had never thought a drow would come to his aid. Forgive me, but you are not known for your charity, not at all. |
| 51190 Why don't you go ahead and carve out <PRO_HISHER> heart now, Phaere? You will get to that part eventually, won't you? |
| 51191 Please, accept this gift on his behalf. I thank you, I do. |
| 51192 Hold, boys! Intruders are upon us! |
| 51193 I would not have guessed surfacers would come to his aid. Those not of the granite seldom look our way at all. |
| 51194 Kill them all, for you well know that we must leave no witnesses! |
| 51195 That is too bad, <PRO_MALEFEMALE>, because you have no choice in the matter. Perform poorly and have nothing... or perform well and be rewarded well. |
| 51196 You play games with my heart, you do. Twisted drow games, and I am in no mood. Leave me! |
| 51197 Hold! You will go no further! You have wandered free long enough! |
| 51198 My child is freed from whatever prison has kept him from me? I thank you, as I must... but he is not with you? |
| 51199 May I see what you have for barter? |
| 51200 Just show me what you have for sale then. |
| 51201 Outrageous! I deserve a reward! Goodbye! |
| 51202 But I was the drow that rescued him. I was enspelled to look like a drow! |
| 51203 Perhaps you should play a lyre and do a dance, Phaere, and <PRO_HESHE> may even start to believe that. |
| 51204 But I was the drow that rescued him. I was enspelled to look like a drow! |
| 51205 Stone drop madness! You play foolish games. I might have believed you if your words rang true, but you do not have the presence for such a false lie tale! |
| 51206 I am in no mood for these games. Leave! Ag dano gone! |
| 51207 If I dance, fool, it shall be upon the grave of your gutted corpse. Speak again with such a tone, and that day shall come sooner than you think. |
| 51210 Your words ring true... you have a forceful presence, you do. I believe your tale. |
| 51211 Ahhh, is that so? Perhaps I may just show you the carnal delights of which only I am capable, male... but only if you prove yourself worthy of that honor. |
| 51212 *snort* If you knew what was good for you, Veldrin, you would begin running in the other direction as soon as the spider shows its fangs. |
| 51213 A pity some cannot comprehend the exquisite pleasure of being bitten, Solaufein. Perhaps some are hardy enough to withstand my poison and shudder with ecstasy. |
| 51214 Nothing. Sorry to have bothered you. |
| 51215 Bo das gola stoone. |
| 51216 The store is closed today, outsider. I must search for my child before I trade a single gem. Bedlen Daglefodd must be found. |
| 51217 Your child is missing? Perhaps I could help? |
| 51218 Is there a reward for his return? |
| 51219 Do you damn me too? I need supplies to survive. No one will find him if unprepared. |
| 51220 You look saddened, as though you have lost something. What is wrong? |
| 51221 Seeing as you are so capable, Veldrin, you and Solaufein have been given another task to complete for the greater glory of Lolth. |
| 51222 My child, Bedlen Daglefodd, has been missing for a tunnel's worth of digging. I simply cannot work without knowing his fate. |
| 51223 You will meet me on the city platform, away from curious ears. But not right away... rest and amuse yourselves for a time. I shall be here awhile. |
| 51224 After I leave, take no longer than a few days before you meet with me on the platform. This is as the matron mother commands, and so shall it be. |
| 51225 Fine then, let's get this bloody business over with! |
| 51226 Ehh, I'll have a look for him. I'm sure he's... fine. Yeah... fine. Can I see your wares? |
| 51227 I know his fate. He's dead. I... found the corpse of a young svirfneblin. |
| 51228 I fear that I know his fate, sir. He is dead. I found his corpse. |
| 51229 I expect no help from outside the granitehomes. Good riddance. |
| 51230 May I see your inventory again? I must be well supplied if I am to rescue your child. |
| 51231 Are you mad? Just what are you planning with such overtures? You are nothing to such as she... a moment's distraction that costs her nothing and may cost you much! |
| 51232 Are you jealous, Viconia? |
| 51233 You seem to have quite a low opinion of my effect on women. |
| 51234 It's just a ploy, Viconia... don't get yourself in a huff. |
| 51235 As it should be. |
| 51236 Thank you. I will look for your child if I am able. |
| 51237 Easy now. I'll keep an eye out for the brat. |
| 51238 Keep your opinions to yourself, Viconia. I'll do what I want. |
| 51239 Judging from the clothes and personal effects, this corpse is that of Nalia's father. |
| 51240 I expect no help from outside the granitehomes. You may say whatever, but it proves nothing about your true intent. |
| 51241 Ahh, this griping helps nothing, it don't! Here, let's do the blasted trades and be done with this. I have no time. |
| 51242 Thank you, I will look for your child when I can. |
| 51243 Perhaps I'll have a look for the boy... if I get around to it. |
| 51244 Do not make me laugh. In this place, you toy with not only your own life by inviting such intimate scrutiny. Endanger us all, by all means, if you cannot resist the witch's flesh. |
| 51245 Calm down... it's a ploy and nothing more. |
| 51246 I may do that. I'll do as I like, Viconia. Now drop it. |
| 51247 Do not make me laugh, <CHARNAME>. You seem to forget that drow women see you as nothing more than a pathetic male. If this is some manner of ploy, I would suggest you reconsider. |
| 51248 And if it is a ploy? What's wrong with that? |
| 51249 I'll do as I like, Viconia. Now drop it. |
| 51250 Drow learn this game from an early age and play it far better than you could imagine. Avoid such contact with Phaere, I warn you... nothing but ill will come from it. |
| 51251 I killed him. Booyah! |
| 51252 I see. Suddenly, I am nothing more than the nagging harpy. Very well, <CHARNAME>... you'll hear from me no more. Do as your pleasure dictates. |
| 51253 You killed my son! I'll have your head! We all will! Got if sallen id! Stoone da willen! |
| 51254 Just what are you on to, <CHARNAME>? You think I am blind, not to see your foolish behavior with the drow woman? Why would you play such an idiotic game...? Do you not remember our situation? |
| 51255 You... found a corpse?! You... your tone lies! I can tell it! I would never trust the likes of you! You killed him! |
| 51256 I would never believe a drow! Your games are transparent to me, they are! I'll have your head! We all will! Got if sallen id! Stoone da willen! |
| 51257 Are you jealous, Jaheira? I would not expect that from you. |
| 51258 It's a ploy, Jaheira... nothing more. |
| 51259 I'll do as I like, Jaheira. Keep your opinions to yourself. |
| 51260 You found his... I believe you... I felt something was terribly wrong. Thank you for letting me know... |
| 51261 Jealous of a simple drow that turns her eyes up at you? Is your opinion of me so low? I merely think that flirtations will gain nothing and endanger us all. |
| 51262 It's a ploy, Jaheira... nothing more. |
| 51263 I'll do as I like, Jaheira. Keep your opinions to yourself. |
| 51264 It is a foolish one. Drow enjoy neither affection nor intense attraction. Sex is nothing but a game to them. To indulge would be... disappointing. |
| 51265 Oh? I am disappointed. Indulge your carnality, by all means, if it means so much to you. I shall say no more on that subject or any other. |
| 51266 <CHARNAME>? Wh-what are you doing? Why are you talking to her like that? You don't... you don't really like that drow in that, that way, do you? |
| 51267 The tunnels... are dangerous places... I thank you for being... kind enough to bring me this news. |
| 51268 My sympathies. May I see what you have for trade now? |
| 51269 Tough luck, I guess. Farewell. |
| 51270 Actually, I killed him for no reason. Nyuck nyuck. |
| 51271 You aren't jealous, Aerie, are you? |
| 51272 No, no... it's just a ploy. |
| 51273 I don't know. Maybe. It's none of your business. |
| 51274 Well... maybe a little. She's very beautiful, for a drow. But they're evil, <CHARNAME>, you have to know that! And... and the way you were talking to her, I thought maybe... |
| 51275 It's just a ploy, Aerie, nothing more. |
| 51276 Well, maybe. It's none of your business anyway. |
| 51277 Oh. I... I don't think the drow can be manipulated like that, <CHARNAME>. And... and I really don't like it. Please don't push it too far, please? |
| 51278 You would...? With someone so evil and despicable? I guess you're not the person I thought you were, <CHARNAME>. I guess... I guess I'll just stay out of your business. |
| 51279 Yes? Is there something you wish, Veldrin? |
| 51280 What's the deal with you and Solaufein? |
| 51281 What can you tell me about the matron mother and your House? |
| 51282 Do you know anything about dragons? |
| 51283 No, not really. |
| 51284 Have you asked him this question? The answer you get may be entirely different. Let me just say that Solaufein is too weak to be worthy of my respect. |
| 51285 The matron mother would sacrifice him to the temple for his boldness, but he has allied himself with a powerful House. So the arrogant male walks free. |
| 51286 But fortunes change, Veldrin. Fortunes always change. |
| 51287 What can you tell me about the matron mother and your House? |
| 51288 Do you know anything about dragons? |
| 51289 I'll be on my way. |
| 51290 House Despana exists in more places than merely Ust Natha, Veldrin. Here, Mother Ardulace rules over our House and is our most favored of Lolth. |
| 51291 I have many younger sisters scheming for my position. The more capable, both older and younger, I have poisoned or murdered as necessary. |
| 51292 I am the strongest and eldest of Ardulace's daughters now. And when she is weak and I kill her, I will become the matron mother of my House. |
| 51293 That sounds horrible! |
| 51294 You sound rather ambitious, Phaere. |
| 51295 Excellent! You are very strong! |
| 51296 Does it? It seems a common enough practice to me. Are you saying that you do not have the stomach for such a practice? A pity. |
| 51297 Soon, fortune shall move House Despana above all others in Ust Natha, and I shall be matron mother of Lolth's most favored... stay close to my path. |
| 51298 Why? What is happening soon? |
| 51299 You shall see, Veldrin. If you are intelligent, that is. |
| 51300 So... what is the deal, exactly, with you and Solaufein? |
| 51301 Tell me... do you know anything of dragons? |
| 51302 I see. I'll be on my way. |
| 51303 Dragons? Perhaps. Why do you ask? |
| 51304 Curiosity. |
| 51305 No reason. |
| 51306 I just wanted to be sure we did not encounter any... I hear tales of a silver dragon in the caverns that preys upon the drow. |
| 51307 Curiosity is a poor trait to exist in a servant, Veldrin. Staunch your questions for now, for all shall be revealed to you that you wish in good time. |
| 51308 What is the deal, then, between you and Solaufein? |
| 51309 What can you tell me, then, about the matron mother and your House? |
| 51310 I see. I'll be on my way. |
| 51311 Ah. You need not worry about such tales any longer, Veldrin. Such a creature no longer poses a threat to us. |
| 51312 Why? Are you sure? |
| 51313 Yes, enjoy the time you have to yourself. You are fortunate, Veldrin, that my gaze has fallen upon you. With you by my side, things will be made much easier. |
| 51314 And, if you are an obedient and intelligent male... and an imaginative lover, should I desire... you may engineer to make things even easier for yourself. |
| 51315 You are a companion of Veldrin? He has my attention now. Stay away from him, female, whatever your prior connection... or it shall be most unpleasant. |
| 51316 Who are you, and why should I submit to you? |
| 51317 You are a companion of Veldrin? It is good Ched Nasad sports strong women... together, we may conquer Ust Natha. But begone... you hold no interest for me. |
| 51318 You are one of Veldrin's male companions? How interesting. Perhaps you shall be of service to me once my use of Veldrin is exhausted. Do not stray far. |
| 51319 Ruffians! Never shall I surrender! |
| 51320 I do not wish to fight. I will surrender, and we can talk about this. |
| 51321 A wise decision, <CHARNAME>. Clea! Take <PRO_HIMHER>, if you would... |
| 51322 Ah, you have finally come. Good. Your timing is excellent, as I had just arrived here recently myself. I trust you are ready to leave presently. |
| 51323 *snort* Don't talk to me. Phaere dragged us here, and she has told me nothing. You are unfortunate enough to have her favor... pry her plans from her. |
| 51324 Bah! I have nothing to do with this expedition! Do not talk to me about it! |
| 51325 What, exactly, are we to be ready for, Phaere? Why have you brought us out here? Is this some fool ambition of yours? |
| 51326 None of my ambitions are foolish, Solaufein. And we are here to perform a service for the good of the city and the matron mother. |
| 51327 I wasn't aware Mother Ardulace did anything "for the good of the city." |
| 51328 Silence! You will obey, male! An eye tyrant... a beholder... is in the city, smuggling adamantite. The matrons have decided we are to kill it. |
| 51329 You force my hand, <CHARNAME>! I have no answers other than this! Attack! |
| 51330 What is this?! Did you say "we"? |
| 51331 Welcome, welcome to my lair. I have watched your progress with great interest. |
| 51332 I did. I am to join you in this duty. The eye tyrant has come on his Spelljammer ship, near here. Solaufein and I will go and scout it out, alone. |
| 51333 Veldrin... I trust you can find your own way to the ship. It is off one of the platforms in the southeast of Ust Natha. Do not take too long to catch up. |
| 51334 My lady, you honor me with your words. |
| 51335 You honor me with your words. |
| 51336 I must be a grand sight if I interest the eyes of a silver dragon. |
| 51337 Come, Solaufein. We can catch up on "old times." |
| 51338 I must be a grand sight if I interest the eyes of a silver dragon. |
| 51339 Your "interest" does not concern me. I have come seeking information. |
| 51340 Your "interest" does not concern me. I have come seeking information. |
| 51341 Hold your tongue! My "interest" does not imply approval! In another time, you would have encountered my tooth and claw instead of words! |
| 51342 I have watched from afar, and the cruel murder of Therndle's son should earn you my wrath. A pointless death it was! |
| 51343 You have come here through trickery, without granting the wishes of Goldander Blackenrock. He and his people will fall to the balor they unearthed because of it. |
| 51344 You are a wanted <PRO_MANWOMAN>, <CHARNAME>. I am merely a woman who seeks bounties. Again I say that you have wandered freely long enough! |
| 51345 You committed pointless murder in your travels, leaving Therndle with no son, and you used trickery to get here without helping Goldander Blackenrock. If they are not dead now, they soon will be. |
| 51346 I shall not surrender to a bounty hunter! What's this all about? |
| 51347 I do not wish to fight. Tell me what this is about, and I might surrender. |
| 51348 You are vile in many ways, but I have need of you. I also know that you have need of me. |
| 51349 I'm sure I do, but flattery is not why I have allowed you to come here. Do not think me too generous; I am not as tolerant as others of my kind. |
| 51350 Your ego swells undeservedly. Interest does not mark approval or support. Do not presume to be in my good graces, <CHARNAME>; I am not as tolerant as others of my kind. |
| 51351 Mercy, <SIRMAAM>! Mercy if you please! |
| 51352 I know full well what you have come for. Do not presume that you may simply ask and receive what you need. I am not as tolerant as others of my kind. |
| 51353 Quiet, you! <CHARNAME>, leave my prisoner alone. It is not your affair. |
| 51354 But Master Mae'Var, it has been a decade... |
| 51355 Veldrin! Finally! We have been watching the crew leave the ship for their rest, and I suspect the eye tyrant is soon to follow! We must be ready! |
| 51356 I am Adalon, the guardian, and I have done my duty as well as I have been able for many a century. I was not the first, but I know the history. |
| 51357 Silence Kamuzu! Do you wish to visit the table again? |
| 51358 No, I... I shall remain quiet, master. |
| 51359 Make sure none of your attacks harm either me or Phaere. Such "accidents" happen far too often... and you are not trusted here. |
| 51360 My <LADYLORD>! You have done it! The tyrant is dead! |
| 51361 My charge is the elven ruins above, an ancient temple that marks the gateway to the Underdark. There are others elsewhere, but this was the first. |
| 51362 For once a death in this hell is welcome! Please, will you release me? I have been imprisoned for ten years! |
| 51363 Concentrate all of your effort upon the eye tyrant, Veldrin. And do not bring harm to Phaere or me... such "accidents" happen far too often for my liking. |
| 51364 The temple marks where the elves of dark hearts first descended, truly separating from elvenkind and becoming drow. |
| 51365 Of course. You are free to go. |
| 51366 Hmph. Indeed... although I canâ€â€wait! Wait, be still! It comes, I sense it! Be ready! |
| 51367 Ten years? What did you do to deserve that? |
| 51368 It is not my business to release ruffians upon the general populace. Rot in your cage! |
| 51369 I must report Mae'Var's demise. I shall free you when I return. |
| 51370 Thank you so much! Long have I waited and suffered. I am forever in your debt, good friend. I must leave now, for I can no longer stand the stench of this place. |
| 51371 The first what? |
| 51372 What do I care about an ancient ruin? |
| 51373 Why does it warrant you as a guardian? |
| 51374 The drow keep the outpost of Ust Natha here as a symbol, one that is fought over regularly, though I have governed the hostilities and seen peace for decades at a time. |
| 51375 Nothing, <SIRMAAM>! I did nothing. That savage Mae'Var merely perceived that I had cast a look of contempt at him. He had his men capture me. |
| 51376 I was tortured here for ten years, my pleas of innocence laughed at. The monster said that I was to be an example. Mae'Var was not to be shown disrespect. |
| 51377 A most brilliant victory! The Spider Queen smiles on us today! We have spat in the great eye of the eye tyrants and live to tell the tale! |
| 51378 For a perceived slight was I imprisoned, but now my tormentor is dead. |
| 51379 But there has been a crime here recently, and I can no longer honor my commitment. I will ask your assistance, and in return, I will aid you. |
| 51380 Speak on. I will listen and see what I can do. |
| 51381 This again? You have seen how I respond to helping others. |
| 51382 I do not respond well to requests for favors. Perhaps if I got a taste of your hoard? |
| 51383 Please! Mercy <LADYLORD>! |
| 51384 And if I do not need your aid? |
| 51385 Silence! I... I will tell you when you may speak. This is a VERY important matter, and I will not be interrupted. |
| 51386 The answer is still no. |
| 51387 The drow respected the borders of this place for centuries, only venturing out for sport and small skirmishes. That was the balance. |
| 51388 Very well. You are free to go. |
| 51389 The nightmare continues... this hole shall be my death. |
| 51390 But... if you must. Please hurry back! I cannot bear to live in this cage for much longer! |
| 51391 Please, <SIRMAAM>! Will you release me now? |
| 51392 Of course. You are free to go, friend. |
| 51393 Why are you imprisoned? What have you done? |
| 51394 I shall not release a criminal. |
| 51395 The two you seek, this Bodhi and Jon Irenicus, I believe they have made a deal with the drow for their own safe passage and offered a way to tip the scales against their elven enemy. |
| 51396 Indeed. Well done. Do not disturb the carcass, however. There will be several acolytes coming to deal with it. |
| 51397 You may ask why I do not extend my influence. I cannot. Irenicus bargained with my most prized possession. He violated my lair and stole from me. They have taken my eggs. |
| 51398 Deal with it? What do you speak of, Phaere? Why would acolytes wish to do anything with the corpse of an eye tyrant? |
| 51399 Vile creatures! Such a crime is unthinkable! |
| 51400 Unfortunate. I assume they threaten to destroy them should you venture out? |
| 51401 Hah! Caught you napping, did they? A brilliant way to take the tooth out of your bite. |
| 51402 Ask me no questions, Solaufein. We shall return to report to the matron mothers. Veldrin... I will see you again in the tavern within three days. |
| 51403 I have been informed that to move from my lair is to cause the destruction of my eggs. It is the final straw in a long list of atrocities I have been witness to. |
| 51404 What is going on here, Phaere? This is too suspicious. |
| 51405 Do as you are commanded, male, and live. Veldrin, journey about the city at your will... but remember our meeting. Do not be late! |
| 51406 You must retrieve them for me. Do this, and I will reveal a safe escape route to leave the Underdark, one that emerges close to where Irenicus plots his next move. |
| 51407 Leave me be. |
| 51408 Why? What's wrong now? |
| 51409 Why? What's wrong now? |
| 51410 Very well. |
| 51411 <CHARNAME>! It is me, Kamuzu, whom you freed from Mae'Var's prison. I must speak with you. |
| 51412 *sigh* Phaere and I have had... words. It has nothing to do with you. |
| 51413 What is it, old man? |
| 51414 This sounds urgent. What is it? |
| 51415 I told you to leave me be! Is your brain so much drivel that you cannot understand my command?! Would you understand better with a dagger in your skull?! |
| 51416 I have no time to speak with you at present. |
| 51417 Threaten me again, Solaufein, and we shall see which of us ends up with a dagger in our skull. |
| 51418 Your life may be in danger! Please listen to me! |
| 51419 A drow war party teleports into the area, the stench of sinister magic pervading all. |
| 51420 Very well. What is it? |
| 51421 It was just a simple question. |
| 51422 You have nothing to say that would interest me. Begone! |
| 51423 In addition to placing you near your target, I will also make a gift of an item from my hoard. It will be powerful, and worthy of your service. |
| 51424 Fine, fine, I'll leave you be. |
| 51425 That woman that was just here, I wouldn't trust her if I were you! |
| 51426 Why is that? |
| 51427 I would offer to help you even if there were no reward. |
| 51428 You ask me to oppose a force that you will not? This is a suicide mission! |
| 51429 I wonder what it is that you think I can do? You ask me to face an entire drow city. |
| 51430 Hmph. So you do have a spine. It shall do you no good if Phaere gets her talons into you. I'll not spill your blood here, fool... speak to her if you wish. |
| 51431 As you wish. |
| 51432 I know her. I have seen her in the prison with Mae'Var. I think that they were lovers. She may be trying to kill you. |
| 51433 That's ridiculous. She is a high-ranking Shadow Thief, and I shall trust her over you. |
| 51434 This is news indeed! I thank you, Kamuzu. I shall be careful. |
| 51435 A simple question from a simple fool. You are no true drow. All the <PRO_MALEFEMALE>s of Ched Nasad cannot be as you, or the place would have been wiped out long ago. |
| 51436 I do not wish to speak to you, <MALEFEMALE>. Veldrin is the only one that I have business with at the moment. |
| 51437 Believe what you wish, but I have seen the woman with Mae'Var. I only wish to warn you. I shall leave you to your business. |
| 51438 It is the least that I could do. You have saved my life! Be careful, <CHARNAME>. She is not to be trusted! Farewell! |
| 51439 It is good that you have come, Veldrin. Up until now I have only had the company of Solaufein, and his pathetic melancholy has nearly drained my patience. |
| 51440 If you are so weak, perhaps I should just take what I wish from your hoard. |
| 51441 I am not so foolish as to keep my hoard next to a drow outpost. No, you will get what I give you and not a coin more. You may not think it enough, but I disagree. |
| 51442 Very noble, though I have had many a person give up on such vows before. My term here has soured me on the company of non-dragons. |
| 51443 I realize the danger of the request, but I do not ask you to simply assault the place. No, there is a much more subtle way to succeed. |
| 51444 Please no kill me, <RACE>! I just work in pits! No hate you! No hurt you! |
| 51445 You attacked me, and for that you shall die! |
| 51446 This bad! Bad! I fight if you make me! |
| 51447 I am grateful, however, and will see to your success. I do not ask you to assault the city, rather to enter it with subtlety. |
| 51448 You are truly pitiful. Run away and don't return. |
| 51449 You will take the identity of a group of drow I dispatched recently, a party from another city destined for Ust Natha. |
| 51450 Yes! Yes! Very pity! Very! I go and not return! |
| 51451 I will transform you, and you will be able to pass among the drow with ease. They will not see through the fiction I create. |
| 51452 When you arrive at the gate, tell them you are from the city of Ched Nasad and that you seek sanctuary within Ust Natha. |
| 51453 Cast your spells, and let the illusion begin. |
| 51454 Stoneshape Scroll |
| 51455 I question the logic of this. I do not know the ways of the drow as well as I should. |
| 51456 Improvise. They are in the turmoil of war at the moment and will overlook much. They will not turn away extra hands. |
| 51457 I allowed you to escape the first time, but I shall not make the same mistake twice. Attack! |
| 51458 You might also consult the drow you travel with. I'm sure she will be a fountain of knowledge. She has an interest in not being discovered, I understand. |
| 51459 Viconia, is it not? You are a rogue and as much reviled by the drow as any surface-dweller. Still, if you seek redemption and betray me, I will end your life. |
| 51460 You need not threaten me. Just see to the transformation. |
| 51461 So I shall be brief and send you on your way. You would like that, Solaufein, yes? |
| 51462 You will not be discovered by any other means than your own mistakes, so be careful not to make them. |
| 51463 Just spit it out, if you must. |
| 51464 Very well. The matron mothers have decided the deep gnomes, the svirfneblin, have not shown enough fear of the drow of late. |
| 51465 Wait, this is just too dangerous. There must be another way. |
| 51466 Get another lackey. I will find my own way. |
| 51467 So it is time to teach them a lesson. Mother Ardulace has volunteered you for this particular service. |
| 51468 I fear that the choice is no longer yours. |
| 51469 You... you want me to kill svirfneblin?! Gnomes?! Such a minor task, and I am to waste my time on it?! I have better things to do, woman! |
| 51470 Let the casting begin then. |
| 51471 Wait, this is too dangerous. There must be another way. |
| 51472 You have better things to do than to serve the Queen of the Demonweb Pits? Mother Lolth herself? |
| 51473 Bah! As if the Spider Queen would care what we do with the deep gnomes! Send Veldrin if you're so interested! I'm sure <PRO_HESHE> can do it without me, I assure you! |
| 51474 Yes, let it be done. |
| 51475 No. You will go with Veldrin. Argue again and it shall be your tongue, Solaufein. |
| 51476 Approach the svirfneblin village in the great caverns and await a patrol. Slaughter them... and bring back proof of the deed. Return here in a few days. |
| 51477 Take <CHARNAME>, my companions and kill all others. They are nothing. <CHARNAME> must be taken alive! To it! |
| 51478 It is done. You now resemble the denizens of the drow city, complete with a house insignia that will not draw undue attention. I suggest you act like drow when speaking to anyone you meet. |
| 51479 The illusion will last as long as it needs to. Trying to leave the city through their main gate to the surface will dispel the magic. You will be on your own against impossible odds. |
| 51480 If this is what the matron mother decrees, then I have little choice. I will go now. Veldrin, catch up quickly... I expect you there without delay. |
| 51481 But... what harm have the deep gnomes done? They are harmless, really, just miners and other types of simple folk. Perhaps a bit dour, and I never heard of one of them ever liking a turnip, but not too bad overall. Is all this really necessary? |
| 51482 But... the deep gnomes are not evil! Why must this be done?! |
| 51483 Surely the deep gnomes are no threat to the drow... they are harmless and neutral beings. Surely such a drastic measure is not necessary to instill the fear you wish into them! |
| 51484 But... the svirfneblin aren't evil! They... they're just harmless gnomes! Why must we do this?! |
| 51485 An odd sentiment for a drow. What would you propose? Mercy? How would that look to our true enemies? You shall do as I say without a further word. |
| 51486 I am sorry, but I must protect my interests. The only safe escape is through my influence once my eggs are recovered. |
| 51487 I will do what I can, Adalon. |
| 51488 As long as you honor the deal, I will be content. |
| 51489 Ahh, but I have the face of a drow now. I don't need you at all! |
| 51490 I thank you. Remember, you are from the city of Ched Nasad. Take a drow name as well. Use "Veldrin"; it is commonly used. |
| 51491 You walk a dangerous path! Do not tempt me when I am on the verge of losing all that is precious! |
| 51492 You are from the city of Ched Nasad! Your drow name is... is the commonly used "Veldrin"! Do as I ask! |
| 51493 You return! |
| 51494 So I smells like fish. Begone with ye! |
| 51495 I suggest you go and find Solaufein at the svirfneblin village in the northwest part of the cavern... and quickly. I will not tolerate a delay. |
| 51496 Finally, there you are. We shall wait here for the patrol to come to us. One will come soon, I expect, and then we can get this over with. |
| 51497 Fine. Let's wait for it to arrive, then. |
| 51498 Good! I can't wait... this should be easy. |
| 51499 I can handle this myself, Solaufein, if you would prefer to return to the city. |
| 51500 I can handle this myself, Solaufein, if you would prefer to return to the city. |
| 51501 *sigh* It should not be long. Prepare yourself and do nothing idiotic. |
| 51502 Hmph. You are actually looking forward to this? The deep gnomes are weak; this is too simple a task. It is almost beneath me to even be here. |
| 51503 Let's just get it over with quickly, then. |
| 51504 If you don't want to be here, then go. I can handle it. |
| 51505 If you don't want to be here, then go. I can handle it. |
| 51506 Any chance to prove drow superiority should be relished. You are weak to suggest otherwise. |
| 51507 Hmmm. Perhaps I will take you up on your offer, then. Phaere enjoys making me dance, and I have no desire to comply. Are you sure you can accomplish this? |
| 51508 Yes, of course. |
| 51509 Perhaps I was hasty. Let's just get this over with. |
| 51510 *snort* Leave you to deal with the deep gnomes alone? You would trip over your own feet and be lost. Why would I even consider such a thing? |
| 51511 Fine, then. Let's just get this over with quickly. |
| 51512 I fought well against the illithids and a beholder... I can handle the svirfneblin. |
| 51513 I fought well against the illithids and a beholder... I can handle the svirfneblin. |
| 51514 I can handle the deep gnomes, but if you would prefer to dance to Phaere's tune, that's up to you. |
| 51515 This proves nothing more than the bloodthirstiness of the matron mothers, fool, although I am sure that will please the Spider Queen well enough on its own. |
| 51516 Very well, I will go. Once the deed is done, take the helmet of the leader and return to the tavern in Ust Natha... I will meet you there. Do not fail, Veldrin. |
| 51517 Come to me... Kurtulmak find focus in the crystal... feast from here... feast on your bones! |
| 51518 The deep gnomes are trickier than you think. And if you fail, then I fail. I do not want to end up on the altar as a result of your incompetence! |
| 51519 It is done. Pfeh. I am returning to the city now. Find the leader's helmet, Veldrin. Return quickly to the tavern with it, and I shall meet you there. |
| 51520 Only builder may pass. His hand alone shall open the way once focus of power is restored. |
| 51521 Now he is under my... influence, and this place is mine to control. It is a masterpiece of madness, one that you will come to know intimately. |
| 51522 What is this? If you killed the patrol, where is your proof?! Where is the leader's helmet?! Go and get it, fool! I will not brook another delay! |
| 51523 Ahhh... you return, and with a svirfneblin helmet, no less. Good. I am sure the gnomes are scrambling as we speak to provide a tribute to the matron mothers. |
| 51524 Just give the helmet to Phaere and let us be done with this. If we are fortunate, the matron mother will have no further task to drag us into. |
| 51525 Hmph. Ah, yes, I am sure the gnomes were suitably impressed by our display of viciousness. No doubt they had no inkling we were capable of such a feat. |
| 51526 What is this? Are you losing your stomach for blood, Solaufein? The Spider Queen would be displeased to hear such, I would think. |
| 51527 I save my wrath for the drow's true enemies. Lolth knows this, as does the matron mother of my own House. |
| 51528 It is not for you to decide, male! I shall have your bloody heart ripped from your chest on the altar if you continue to speak! |
| 51529 I call your bluff, arrogant one. Act and you risk war between your House and mine. How would Mother Ardulace see that, I wonder? |
| 51530 It is almost worth it to silence your impudent tongue! If a Handmaiden were to see you speak to me such, she would flay you open without a second thought! |
| 51531 You should be so lucky, Despana bitch. |
| 51532 Bah! I will listen to no more! Veldrin! Meet me within my private quarters in the Female Fighters' Society tower. Within one hour, Veldrin... do *not* be late. |
| 51533 Very well, I will be there. |
| 51534 Why? Why your private quarters? |
| 51535 Phaere, I have other things to do first. |
| 51536 Good. You, Solaufein, will wait until the matron mothers find another task to set you to. May it lead you to a gruesome death, worm. |
| 51537 Because I wish privacy, worm! Fail to attend me and I shall have you dragged there screaming by hooks! |
| 51538 Do not balk me, <PRO_MALEFEMALE>! I will not hesitate to throw you upon Lolth's altar! One hour, Veldrin... or your death shall be a thing to make slaves tremble! |
| 51539 If you are a vampire of her creation, then we are here to kill you! |
| 51540 She sentenced me to this place. We should work together to escape! |
| 51541 Ah, yes! She... sent us to destroy you! Now show the way you planned to escape! |
| 51542 Stoneshape Scroll |
| 51543 She did not come herself? Another insult to my genius! She turns me, takes my creation, and now she does not dispatch me herself! |
| 51544 We shall battle in this place I created, and forevermore it shall be sealed! If I do not have control, then no one shall! Only my hand can open the way! |
| 51545 Ha HA! I removed the crystals that focus the magic for the door! Left it to rot in a pile of refuse! The kobolds have taken it now. They worship it, the fools! No way out for you! You'll starve here! Starve! |
| 51546 I have no interest in speaking right now. All I desire is to remain here and drown myself in black mead until I forget I ever met that witch. |
| 51547 Do not use the stoneshape scroll until the demon is defeated. |
| 51548 Drow, od golver d'tanyon! Da sugden os tera! |
| 51549 You use the stoneshape scroll to seal the shaft, and in moments the cavern looks as it did before the gnomes began mining it. |
| 51550 Alarm! De ston fall duth nada! |
| 51551 You are mad! Are you even listening, or do you simply wish to fight whomever you can? |
| 51552 Dammit, man, how do you get out of this place? |
| 51553 Wird os gnassen vist! Drow od mird Lolth! |
| 51554 You haven't run across a "lost" bit of gear, have you? Belonging to a mage? |
| 51555 I'm sorry, but I don't understand your tongue. |
| 51556 Prepare to die, svirfneblin scum! |
| 51557 Ah... I had be thinking most drow knowing simple tongue of the stone. Let me be talking the tongue of dark ones, yes? |
| 51558 We be greeting you, dark ones. And we be asking for your purpose this place for being. Respecting you the peace as we? |
| 51559 You find a lot in the tunnels, you do. There's no harm in picking up what has fallen from dead hands. |
| 51560 We be greeting you, dark ones. We be coming here from larger village of deeper gnomes, hearing of much death here happening. Very bad, is. What is being your purpose here? |
| 51561 Well, the mage is no longer dead. He would like the return of his book of rituals. |
| 51562 Is that what you call stealing a man's gear off his still-warm corpse? |
| 51563 I do not fault you your scavenging skills. I merely wish to get the book he had. |
| 51564 No. I am here to slaughter you, fools. Prepare to die! |
| 51565 I was sent here by the drow to kill you and your patrol... but I do not wish to do that. |
| 51566 Yes. I am simply scouting the area and will be on my way. |
| 51567 No longer dead? That be quite the recovery. Fine, you may have his book, but a finder's fee is what I require. |
| 51568 This dark pit gives you a feeling of unease. |
| 51569 Darkness overwhelms you... and you sense another... |
| 51570 I am here to slaughter you, fools. Prepare to die! |
| 51571 I was sent here by the drow to kill you and your patrol... but I do not wish to do that. |
| 51572 I am simply scouting the area and will be on my way. |
| 51573 Most alarming, this is! Why would the dark ones be killing us? We be at peace, we is! |
| 51574 They feel you don't fear them enough, and want to send a message to you and their enemies. |
| 51575 I don't know, really. |
| 51576 Actually, I've changed my mind. I've been sent here to kill you, and I probably should, to be safe. |
| 51577 This is good. Peace be having with you, dark ones. |
| 51578 We be fearing dark ones plenty! Always could they be all killing us if they be wishing to! Grateful, we are, for your mercy! |
| 51579 I just need some proof for them that I have done as they bid. Can I have your helmet? |
| 51580 My helmet? If it be saving my life, yes... here it be. We will be going now and telling deep lords that much bowing and scraping to dark ones is to be done, if war to be avoided is. |
| 51581 Thanking you for your mercy, we are. May the Deep Brother be smiling on you kindly, always. |
| 51582 You be returning, dark ones? What can deep gnomes for you be doing? |
| 51583 You can die, svirfneblin! |
| 51584 I was sent here by the drow to kill you and your patrol... but I do not wish to do that. |
| 51585 Actually, I need your helmet. |
| 51586 Nothing. I'll be on my way. |
| 51587 Yes. I, ah... need you to give me your helmet, actually. |
| 51588 I, ah... need you to give me your helmet, actually. |
| 51589 My helmet part of uniform, is. Giving it up, I simply cannot be. Why be needing you helmet, dark one? |
| 51590 I need it to prove to the drow that I have killed your patrol... which I have no intention of actually doing. |
| 51591 I can't tell you... but it is very important that I have it. For your sake and mine. |
| 51592 I can't tell you... but it is very important that I have it. For your sake and mine. |
| 51593 How about 100 gold pieces? Could I buy it from you? |
| 51594 Oh, bother it anyway. Time for you to die, I suppose. |
| 51595 You be seeming trustworthy sort, for dark one. Very well... is only helmet, and policy personal is when dark one ask nicely, give helmet and run, yes? |
| 51596 We be leaving on patrol now, maybe, before you be asking for svirfneblin shoes and stockings too. Faring you well, dark one. |
| 51597 Not even a corpse was left! It was no defilement! Most of his gear was destroyed anyway, it was! If it means so much, then I shall give you the book he had... for a small fee. |
| 51598 Is not important helmet, really, but is mine. Cannot be giving it away simply, I. Confusing request you are making, dark one. |
| 51599 Is that all? I see no problem with you recovering that little slip of pages... for a small fee, you know. |
| 51600 I have even kept it separate from what other inventory I might have. A curious read, it is. 300 gold too much for your purse? |
| 51601 I need it to prove to the drow that I have killed your patrol... which I have no intention of actually doing. |
| 51602 Give me the helmet or die, you stupid gnome! |
| 51603 Fine. How about I give you 100 gold pieces for it? |
| 51604 You had your chance, gnome. Time to die! |
| 51605 I have returned to ask about that mage's book of rituals. |
| 51606 Hmm. Helmet come and helmet go, amongst gnomes is said. Well, maybe not said, but should be, for so much gold. Here be it, then, strange dark one. |
| 51607 Patrol Leader's Helmet |
| 51608 Patrol Leader's Helmet |
| 51609 Have you the 300 gold I asked for? |
| 51610 Here it is. |
| 51611 No, I do not. |
| 51612 Very well. Take the 300 coin. |
| 51613 I will not pay that. |
| 51614 Errr... no need to angry be getting, dark one. If you be wanting helmet so much, supposing am I that better than death it is. Helmet come and helmet go, gnomish saying be going. |
| 51615 Kuo-toa's Blood |
| 51616 Good tidings, friend? What brings you down this way? |
| 51617 Then we have nothing more to discuss. Safe tunnels to you. |
| 51618 The pull of adventure, sir. |
| 51619 Kuo-toa's Blood |
| 51620 Then we have a trade, we do. I thank you for your patronage. |
| 51621 Nothing that would concern you. |
| 51622 Wait... you seem familiar. Would you, perchance, be the fabled <CHARNAME>? Truly, good <PRO_SIRMAAM>, your deeds are well known all through the Sword Coast. |
| 51623 Eyestalk of an Elder Orb |
| 51624 You haven't run across a "lost" bit of gear, have you? Belonging to a mage? |
| 51625 Eyestalk of an Elder Orb |
| 51626 Er, yes... I did... was that of interest to you? Perhaps I could interest you in buying... er... no, you can just have it. A gift, to foster better relations, it is. |
| 51627 You are lucky that my mood is improved, <PRO_MALEFEMALE>. I was pondering having you tortured for my amusement, but the whim has passed. |
| 51628 I am indeed <CHARNAME>. You have heard of me then? |
| 51629 You have returned victorious! I sense my beautiful eggs on your person. I shall take them and give you the reward I promised. |
| 51630 You are mistaken, friend. I am not this <CHARNAME> that you speak of. |
| 51631 You are mistaken, friend. I am not this <CHARNAME> that you speak of. |
| 51632 May it serve you well in the time ahead. Ahh, but I also promised a safe escape, did I not? One that will lead you nearer Bodhi and Irenicus? |
| 51633 I shall transport us there and see you safely away. Truth be known, you might have gone there yourself, but it would have been all the bloodier. |
| 51634 It was an honor to serve. May I assume that you will be punishing the drow now? |
| 51635 I am simply glad that the ordeal is over and now I can return to the surface. |
| 51636 I only did it for the item. You were not necessary. Just hurry up and go. |
| 51637 No, they will receive what they deserve from the elves they face. I have seen too much of this evil to continue guarding a peace that does not exist. |
| 51638 My last act here will be a few selective deaths perhaps, a lesson for those responsible for my strife at least. They will know not to cross my path again. |
| 51639 But that is for later. I shall help you as I promised and then see to my own concerns. Before I take you to the way to the surface, I must transform myself into a more suitable form. |
| 51640 Oh yes, <CHARNAME>! We have heard of you. In fact we have been sent to... deal with you. |
| 51641 I am relieved that this is over as well, though I will not be returning to my previous duties. I have seen too much of this evil to continue guarding a peace that does not exist. |
| 51642 Yes, that is the attitude that has formed my decision to leave. I have seen too much of evil to continue guarding a peace that does not exist. |
| 51643 You show amazing gall to come here! Have you the fortitude to stand before me when my eggs have been destroyed?! I sensed their deaths! |
| 51644 You will be the first to feel my wrath! All that partook in this crime will fall, but your failure makes you the first! |
| 51645 What do you imply? |
| 51646 You must hurry your efforts. I cannot bear to have my eggs in the hands of those imbeciles! I ask you to return to the illusion we have concocted. |
| 51647 You are Veldrin from the drow city of Ched Nasad. You seek refuge and are willing to aid in their efforts against the elves. Go now. |
| 51648 You may knock on the gate. |
| 51649 The massive gate to the drow city is closed to outsiders. Only *drow* have access to the city within. |
| 51650 You will also have knowledge of the language of the drow, and your speech will be heard as though you have spoken their dark tongue all your life. |
| 51651 The gates open. |
| 51652 You... are a fool. Despite the perfection of the illusion, you have enraged the entire city against you. There is nothing more to be done. |
| 51653 I remain unable to act, and you have nothing but a slaughter ahead of you. It is disheartening, but there is nothing more to be done. Leave. |
| 51654 We are finished in our dealings. Leave me, that I might do what I must in peace. |
| 51655 Intruders without cause will be killed where they stand! Speak your purpose! |
| 51656 The hand of the builder may open the way, but focus of power must first be restored. |
| 51657 Focus of power can be restored, but only the hand of the builder may open the passage. |
| 51658 Focus of power may be restored, and the hand of the builder opens the passage. The way is open. |
| 51659 I work here alone against all that would come! I have sealed the way, and only my hand can open what is now closed! |
| 51660 Hah! A brigand in disguise! |
| 51661 No, I am quite sure that you are <CHARNAME>. We have been sent to... deal with you. |
| 51662 You needn't look so nervous, fool. If I desired you for intimate matters, you'd be naked and sweating already. No, I need you for something else. |
| 51663 What do you imply? |
| 51664 Hah! A brigand in disguise! |
| 51665 You are aware of my relationship with Solaufein, yes? You do not need to stare at me blankly. Our animosity is open and obvious. |
| 51666 His insolence is beyond all endurance. I cannot tolerate it further without risking my position in Lolth's hierarchy. |
| 51667 But I also cannot take action that would be traced back to myself or my House without risking war. So you shall take action for me. You will kill Solaufein. |
| 51668 What? I cannot do that! |
| 51669 What would be my reward for this task? |
| 51670 How do you propose I do this? |
| 51671 You can and you will. You have bloodlust in you, Veldrin, do not deny it. And what do you owe Solaufein? Or do you object out of some strange morality? |
| 51672 Your reward is continued existence and my continued favor. You will do this because I command it... or you shall suffer unspeakable torments. |
| 51673 We are drow, and the drow show no mercy. My opportunity is nearly upon me, and I will not be distracted by a gnat at my back. |
| 51674 Solaufein has been given time off from his regular duties... you will find him in his quarters in the Male Fighters' Society, sulking as is his wont. |
| 51675 He will not be expecting you... but nor will he suspect your true intentions, I imagine. He will greet you, and then you will kill him. |
| 51676 When you cast the spell, its powerful magics free an imprisoned mage from the depths of the earth. |
| 51677 Those of my House would be the first questioned for his death... but you, without allies of any House, can get away with his murder. |
| 51678 Once you are done, take his... hmmm... take his piwafwi cloak and bring it back to me here. It shall make an excellent trophy. |
| 51679 That is all. Do you understand what I ask of you, Veldrin? Telling anyone will bring death down upon yourself. I shall keep your secret if you keep mine. |
| 51680 I understand... and I look forward to killing that arrogant bastard. |
| 51681 I suppose I have little choice in the matter. |
| 51682 No, I won't do this. It isn't right. |
| 51683 It is good to see a drow <PRO_MALEFEMALE> with a commendable lust for power. Continue this attitude, Veldrin, and things in Ust Natha will prove favorable for you. |
| 51684 That is true. Ohhhh, it is not all bad, Veldrin. In Ched Nasad, did you have the favor of a House's eldest daughter and the promise of riches? I think not. |
| 51685 Go, then. You have three days to hunt down the fool and return with his cloak. Do not fail me, Veldrin. |
| 51686 I see. Do you truly wish your life to be forfeit for refusing me? I shall ask again and pretend I did not hear your first answer... will you kill Solaufein? |
| 51687 Very well. I suppose I have little choice. |
| 51688 No! I will not! |
| 51689 You dare?! You are a fool, Veldrin... you have lost your place in this city! I shall see your entrails strung from the cavern ceiling before I am through! |
| 51690 If I wished to talk to you, <MALEFEMALE>, I would have asked you to my quarters. It is Veldrin I asked to come, and it is <PRO_HESHE> I will speak to. |
| 51691 As you place your last item within its statue, the chest in the center of the chamber slams open. There is something within that was not there before. |
| 51692 Veldrin?! What are you doing here? The matron mothers have not given me another task so soon, have they? I was given leave to rest! |
| 51693 No, Solaufein. I was sent here to kill you... time to die, fool. |
| 51694 I'm sorry, Solaufein... I have no choice. I have to kill you. |
| 51695 Phaere sent me to kill you, Solaufein, but I'm not going to do it. |
| 51696 So... she acts at last, eh? It had to end like this, one way or another. Well, you will not find me an easy target, sniveling whelp! |
| 51697 Ah... it was only a matter of time. She and I were... lovers, but the matron mother saw she was feeling more care for me than the Spider Queen would allow. |
| 51698 She suffered torture at the hands of the tentacle rods... I shudder at the thought. All that remained once the Handmaidens were done was her ambition. |
| 51699 And I... I remained only as a reminder of her weakness. Very well, then. It had to end like this, and so it shall. But Solaufein shall not go quietly! |
| 51700 Wait! We don't have to do this! |
| 51701 Let's get this over with. |
| 51702 I see. It was only a matter of time before she acted, I suppose. No alliance of mine to any House could prevent the unseen dagger from plunging into my back. |
| 51703 Phaere and I were... lovers once. Mother Ardulace felt Phaere cared for me in a most un-drow-like fashion and had her taken by the Handmaidens. |
| 51704 At night, I come without being fetched; at day, I am gone without being stolen. |
| 51705 They tortured her with tentacle rods... tortures I can only shudder at the thought of. When they were done, all that remained of Phaere was her ambition. |
| 51706 And I... I remained only as a constant reminder of her weakness. *sigh* I have been expecting this for a long time. |
| 51707 No beginning. No end. I am a symbol of the world's cycles. |
| 51708 So, then. If you are not going to kill me, what do you propose that we do? |
| 51709 I don't know. I suppose I will have to kill you regardless... there doesn't seem to be any way out of this. |
| 51710 I need your piwafwi cloak to prove to Phaere that you are dead... but what will you do? |
| 51711 You can join with us, Solaufein... and leave this place. |
| 51712 So be it. It had to end like this, and so it shall. |
| 51713 You can have my cloak... I have little need of it. And I... I do not know. I cannot be seen in the city without endangering your lives as well as my own. |
| 51714 And I do not wish war between my House and the Despana. I... I have never wished to harm those who were not foul and evil, true enemies of the drow. |
| 51715 I... I do not know why I tell you this... perhaps it is the mercy you show me, but I feel we drow have lost the right path. We need to be led back to it. |
| 51716 I will seek those who feel as I do, perhaps. I shall remain in the shadows and not betray your secret, Veldrin. |
| 51717 I thank you for the mercy you have shown... it suggests that there is hope for our people. May... may Eilistraee, Lady Silverhair, watch over you always. |
| 51718 Two brothers we are; great burdens we bear; all day we are bitterly pressed. Yet this I will sayâ€â€we are full all the day, and empty when we go to rest. |
| 51719 Join with you? Leave? To where, Ched Nasad? No... I can see that you do not mean that place. In fact... in fact, you are not from that place, are you? |
| 51720 Here, in this place, you swallow me. Yet, were I more, I could swallow you. |
| 51721 Is that so? Perhaps I am mistaken. Carry on, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. You are not the one that we seek. |
| 51722 You are not drow. I should have suspected it sooner, perhaps... Who are you, then? Why are you masqueraded as such? |
| 51723 I have seen the mountains rise. I have seen the fall of Netheril. You shall die, but still shall I march on. |
| 51724 You are not drow. I should have known sooner, I think... Who are you, then? Why have you masqueraded yourself as drow? |
| 51725 To those within the dungeon, I am joy. To those fully beneath my gaze, I can be Hell. |
| 51726 You must be captured, <CHARNAME>. Someone desires your presence very badly. It is time. |
| 51727 You have pierced my disguise? Then I cannot let you live, drow. It is too dangerous for me. |
| 51728 My name is <CHARNAME>, and I'm a surface <PRO_RACE>. But I cannot tell you why I am here. |
| 51729 I will save your life, but yet can you die by me. I will settle disputes, yet not with words. |
| 51730 My name is <CHARNAME>, and I'm a surface <PRO_RACE>. I have been sent here to retrieve the stolen eggs of the silver dragon. |
| 51731 I am sorry, Solaufein, but I cannot tell you anything of myself. |
| 51732 Name me and so shall you break me. |
| 51733 Now I shall enter the fire portal. |
| 51734 Always do I tell the truth, yet cannot speak. Look to me and see what really is. |
| 51735 Now... I shall enter the air portal. |
| 51736 My brothers! Cast thy spells and bring this encounter to a close. |
| 51737 I have two heads but one body. The more I stand still, the faster I run. |
| 51738 Try to defeat me, but try in vain. When I win, I end your pain. |
| 51739 A... surface <PRO_RACE>? It explains much, including the mercy you show me now. No drow would do such, I suspect, and I shall not betray you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 51740 You have pierced my disguise? Then I cannot let you live, drow. It is too dangerous for me. |
| 51741 My name is <CHARNAME>, and I'm a surface <PRO_RACE>. But I cannot tell you why I am here. |
| 51742 My name is <CHARNAME>, and I'm a surface <PRO_RACE>. I have been sent here to retrieve the stolen eggs of the silver dragon. |
| 51743 I am sorry, Solaufein, but I cannot tell you anything of myself. |
| 51744 I cannot return to Ust Natha without endangering you... and myself. Since you are from the surface, I will tell you something I would tell no other... |
| 51745 The Spider Queen holds no sway over my heart. I worship Lady Silverhair, Eilistraee, and like her, I believe that my people have strayed from the path. |
| 51746 I will remain in the shadows and seek out others like me. There must be more... I am sure of it. Perhaps my people can yet be saved from themselves. |
| 51747 Yip! We discovered! No time! No time! Avatar not focused! Crystal not ready! |
| 51748 Thank you, <CHARNAME>... for your mercy. Perhaps one day I will stand on the surface and see the moon of my Eilistraee... Until then, farewell. |
| 51749 I know a little of this. The matron mothers claim the great silver dragon guarding the entrances to the surface elves' temple would no longer be a hindrance. |
| 51750 In fact, it was Mother Ardulace that made that announcement. I believe she would hold the eggs you seek... but I do not know where such things would be kept. |
| 51751 Avatar not formed! Kurtulmak not ready! |
| 51752 I see. You have done me a turn, however, which no other drow would do... I shall not betray you. I cannot be seen in the city without endangering us both. |
| 51753 Nor do I wish a war between my House and the Despana. My people have... strayed... I think. Perhaps I can find others who feel as I do. |
| 51754 I will help you in the future if I can, surfacer. Until that day, I offer you my thanks. Until fortune causes us to cross paths once again, farewell. |
| 51755 I do not wish to speak to you again, <MALEFEMALE>, until Solaufein lies dead and rotting and you have returned with his piwafwi cloak. Go. |
| 51756 Yes, yes, this is all very well and good that you have returned... but where is Veldrin? I wish to speak to <PRO_HIMHER> and nobody else. |
| 51757 Ah, I see you carrying his piwafwi, my darling Veldrin. He... Solaufein is dead, yes? Yes... of course, he... he is dead. |
| 51758 Here... give it to me. |
| 51759 "All love is foolish." You have done well, Veldrin... you have earned a place of honor in this House by serving me well. This shall not stop, naturally. |
| 51760 This bizarre contraption has a small slot set in a beautifully engraved panel. A message is written on an old board which has been carelessly tucked into a crack in the machine. |
| 51761 Focus... but not fully formed! Protect me! Protect or we are shattered once again and again! Call forth the Guardians! |
| 51762 The message reads: "Master, thy boots are well recombobulated. I have destinkified the soles. 'Twas a rapturous experience to lend mine hand to the task. Thou art, sir, a man of distinguished valor..."â€â€the flattery goes on for some time. |
| 51763 First... I will speak to you alone, Veldrin. |
| 51764 Star Medallion |
| 51765 Sun Medallion |
| 51766 It is time to introduce you to the matron mother of House Despana, Veldrin. Mother Ardulace is anxious to see the <PRO_MALEFEMALE> who has done so much for Ust Natha. |
| 51767 Sword Medallion |
| 51768 You will go to the temple and meet me and Mother Ardulace there. Do not delay, Veldrin... Mother Ardulace wishes to speak with you immediately. |

| 51771 I find you useful, Veldrin. You are a strong and powerful male... worthy of my bed. You shall remain here for a time and please me... Come. |
| 51772 The machine can be activated by placing an appropriate number of tokens within the slot. You must have enough tokens to use it. What do you wish to do? |
| 51773 Place 5 tokens in the slot. |
| 51774 Place 10 tokens in the slot. |

| 51784 I'm all for that! |
| 51785 Mirror |
| 51786 What do you mean, "can't"? I command it! Why do you balk?! |
| 51787 Because I do not wish to do this! |

| 51789 Because I, ah, belong to another. |

| 51800 No, I do not wish this. |
| 51801 I can't do this, Phaere. |
| 51802 If... if I must, then I suppose I have no choice... |
| 51803 Excellent. I shall show you, my dark Veldrin, why an evening with Phaere is worth more than an eternity with all other women. Come... I am anxious to begin... |
| 51804 The scroll reads as follows: "Heed this, inmate! The true test of madness is the simple measurement of the mind's precision. The cured shall be rewarded. The afflicted shall wander without recourse." |
| 51805 Your wishes do not come into this, foolish Veldrin. Refuse me again and you shall pay the ultimate price, do you understand? Now... come *here*. |
| 51806 Warden's Note |
| 51807 Warden's Note |
| 51808 No! I still won't do this with you, no matter what you say! |
| 51809 I... I really can't, Phaere... I mean I *really* can't. |
| 51810 I cannot. I, ah, belong to another. |
| 51811 Very well. If I must, I suppose I have no choice... |
| 51812 You... you speak of a physical disability of some kind? Surely you jest. |
| 51813 I, ah... swore an oath to Lolth. I, ah... cannot speak of it. |
| 51814 I swore an oath to Lolth to remain celibate. I cannot speak more of it. |
| 51815 It's... it's a curse. A curse that, uh, you can't remove. It prevents me from, um, becoming... ah, intimate. |
| 51816 I am afflicted with an insidious curse, Phaere. It is not easily removed, I am afraid... I can do nothing about it. |
| 51817 I... ah... yes, a disability. I'm, ah... a eunuch... |
| 51818 It's no joke. I'm... ah... a eunuch... |
| 51819 Uh... well, maybe it's not physical, but I still can't... |
| 51820 I... I suppose you caught me. Fine... if I have no choice... |
| 51821 With a quiet "PING!", the machine dispenses a pair of boots. |
| 51822 With a quiet "PING!", the machine dispenses a pair of boots. |
| 51823 What?! Who? |
| 51824 My companion, Jaheira. |
| 51825 My companion, Aerie. |
| 51826 My companion, Viconia. |
| 51827 It... it's someone you don't know... |
| 51828 You touch the globe, and the room fills with energy. |
| 51829 Leave the machine for now to look for more tokens. |
| 51830 I... well, I suppose I have no choice, do I? |
| 51831 With a jarring rattle, the machine dispenses a suit of armor! |
| 51832 Then you have signed your death warrant, you impotent fool. I shall see you ground into dust! |
| 51833 The machine has nothing else to dispense. |
| 51834 *snort* You are not a good liar, Veldrin. Is this a game, hmm? Come to me, my dark lovely one... come and I shall fix your little "problem"... |
| 51835 No! I do not want to do this! |
| 51836 It's not a game... it's just that... that I belong to another. |
| 51837 Very well, if I have no choice. |
| 51838 *sigh* We shall have to solve this problem... but I have no time now. I thought you were more of a male than this, Veldrin. Bah! No matter. |
| 51839 You touch the globe, and the mosaic in the center of the rooms shifts. Perhaps the mosaic needs to be stabilized or stood upon. |
| 51840 *snort* The female who fights by your side? What do I care if you dally with her? But I shall have her executed before I allow you to choose her over me. |
| 51841 Well, all right, it's not her... It's, uh, someone else you don't know... |
| 51842 But I still can't do this, Phaere... |
| 51843 Well, perhaps it's not someone... it's, ah, a more personal problem... |
| 51844 Very well. I suppose I have no choice here. |
| 51845 Someone I... ah. From Ched Nasad. A Handmaiden has collared you, yes? I am almost tempted to break the ward, but I have no interest in a battle at the moment. |
| 51846 A pity. I now see why you fled from Ched Nasad. Soon, dear Veldrin, I shall break your collar and free you from her grasp... then we can do as I wish. |
| 51847 But I have no time for such a thing now. I shall have to find another male to satisfy me later, when I have the time... for now, there is more for you to do. |
| 51848 Kai |
| 51849 Ah. Finally you awaken. Come... rise, lazy one. I was almost ready to call in the slaves and have you beaten. There is much for you to do. |
| 51850 Mithral Token |
| 51851 Mithral Token |
| 51852 This is a small mithral disk with jagged edges. There is nothing on the disk that hints at its use. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 51853 Ah! Here you are! Matron... this is the <PRO_MALEFEMALE> that I spoke to you of, Veldrin. |
| 51854 What is this? Who is this impertinent fool that comes before me and dares to speak? |
| 51855 I can see <PRO_HIMHER> well enough, fool girl. You think I am blind? Ehhh... I see nothing special about <PRO_HIMHER>. What fascinates you so? |
| 51856 Matron, <PRO_HESHE> is an excellent fighter... and <PRO_HESHE> is the one that rid House Despana of its... other... problem. |
| 51857 *This* is that one? Illithids, eye tyrants, gnomes... and the mighty Solaufein! Are you sure? To me, <PRO_HESHE> looks scrawny, and there is... something... odd... |
| 51858 I am positive, matron, that <PRO_HESHE> could prove of great use to you. |
| 51859 Ehhh... perhaps. Let <PRO_HIMHER> prove it, then, if <PRO_HESHE> is to become so favored in the eyes of Despana. |
| 51860 You, <PRO_GIRLBOY>! You there... Veldrin, is it? Pay attention. |
| 51861 The eye tyrant you killed coming from their so-called city. It was not the right type. I told the girl here which type I required, and that was not the one. |
| 51862 But, Matron, I |
| 51863 Silence, girl! I'll not swallow your lies! Speak again and I'll send you into the pits of Lolth... would you like to deal with the drider again so soon, girl? |
| 51864 Now, Veldrin... you have proven yourself as competent. This is good. House Despana needs competence, a rare commodity when one is surrounded by fools. |
| 51865 House Despana is about to embark on the path to greatness, Veldrin. You can tie yourself tightly to us. Mother Lolth approves of the successful. |
| 51866 But I require something rather rare to begin this path. You might acquire it for me. So I shall give you the task and see if you can earn Despana's favor. |
| 51869 Do as the matrons order and live. |
| 51870 I need the blood of one of the neighbor races, Veldrin. The noble races only, and blood from one of their most powerful members. A dangerous task. |
| 51871 Your first option is to acquire the blood of an elder orb, most powerful of the eye tyrants. Its blood or its eye. I bade the fool girl do this, but she failed. |
| 51872 The Spelljammer tyrant was supposed to be an elder, Matron! I swear that is what the spies had reported! They must have exaggerated! |
| 51873 SILENCE! You should have checked on it yourself, girl! Do you rely solely on this <PRO_MALEFEMALE> to be your strength and your wits?! |
| 51874 No, Matron, I do not. |
| 51875 Enough! Should you go after the elder orb, you will no doubt find one in their tunnels in the southeastern portion of the main caverns. |
| 51876 Your other options are to gather blood from the elder brain of the illithids or from a prince of the kuo-toa. Either would be as difficult as the elder orb. |
| 51877 The elder brain is guarded in the illithid city, through the southeast caverns. An old ruin of the kuo-toa lies in the western caverns, ruled by a mad prince. |
| 51878 Go, then, Veldrin. Bring me the blood of one of these creatures. House Despana awaits your return... but do not tarry. This is my command. |

| 51888 Island concerns: Ginia's tale Ginia told me of how Desharik took control of the isle and how Chremy holds her brother captive in order to force her service as a courtesan.

| 51889 I sense you possess none of the blood I require, Veldrin. I know... I have attuned my magic for this. Go, and do not come back without the blood I need. |
| 51890 Do not stand about here if you do not have the blood, fool! Go! Quickly! We have much that is to be done while you are gone! |
| 51891 You have the blood! You have done it! Outstanding, Veldrin! |
| 51892 Ahhh... the Spider Queen smiles upon us. Our gamble does not go unwasted, daughter. Your champion has brought us the blood that we need! |
| 51893 Praise Lolth! The ritual may finally be begun! Despana will rule Ust Natha without question as the preeminent House! |
| 51894 Indeed. But we must be cautious, daughter, ever cautious. The ritual may be disturbed before it is completed. The silver one may get desperate. |
| 51895 You are going to seal the city, Matron? |
| 51896 Yes. We cannot be disturbed from the outside. I shall go now and begin the proper preparations. This shall be a glorious day indeed! |
| 51897 Veldrin. You have done House Despana the greatest of services. You will be a <PRO_MALEFEMALE> without equal... riches and slaves shall be yours. |
| 51898 I shall see to it as soon as the ritual has been completed. Now is the time for you to rest, strong one... there is nothing more for you to prove to me. |
| 51899 Well, I am not done with <PRO_HIMHER> just yet. Veldrin... come to my personal apartments. I expect you to meet me there within the hour... this is not a request. |
| 51900 Ehhh? I thought I told you to begone, Veldrin. Rest, if you must... but disturb me no further or you shall find how quickly my favor can be spoiled! |
| 51901 You are one of Veldrin's companions, <MALEFEMALE>? I am deep in preparation... disturb me and your association with Veldrin will mean little in the pits! |
| 51902 You are well and good, I assure you, <MALEFEMALE>... but Veldrin is your leader and I would talk to <PRO_HIMHER> first and foremost. |
| 51903 Veldrin? Good. I have a plan... a plan that will place me as the head of House Despana even as we take our place as the rightful ruling House of Ust Natha. |
| 51904 In order for this plan to be successful, however, you must betray the matron mother. Are you willing to do this? Think carefully on your answer. |

| 51962 I am your death if I am not allowed entry! Move aside! |
| 51963 I am Veldrin, from the city of Ched Nasad. |
| 51964 Called Shot |
| 51965 I have no qualms about betraying the matron mother. |
| 51966 My plan includes you, Veldrin... without your timely arrival here, none of this would have been possible. Do as I say and your rewards will be unimaginable. |
| 51967 Refuse and... well, why would you refuse? You have everything to gain, Veldrin. Everything. |
| 51968 I would prefer to know first exactly what I'll be doing. |
| 51969 No. There are too many things that cannot be said without your agreement first. I will hear it from your lips, Veldrin. |
| 51970 Very well. I will betray the matron mother, as you ask. |
| 51971 I doubt I have much choice. I agree to do as you command. |
| 51972 Then I refuse. I won't help you. |
| 51973 Then die, fool. If you are not with me in this plan, then you are only a danger to me. Darkness take you for your stubbornness! |
| 51974 Hmph. I desire no half-hearted agreement. I must have assurance you will not betray me for your own benefit. I suggest you convince me of your loyalty. |
| 51975 Ah... when I said I had no choice, I meant I had no choice but to serve you, Phaere. The matron mother means nothing to me. |
| 51976 You are strong, and you deserve the position of matron mother, Phaere. The drow would be made stronger by your presence. |
| 51977 I would never betray you, Phaere. I have done everything you have asked of me, and I am yours to command. |
| 51978 You are strong, and you deserve the position of matron mother, Phaere. The drow would be made stronger by your presence. |
| 51979 Ah... when I said I had no choice, I meant I had no choice but to serve you, Phaere. The matron mother means nothing to me. |
| 51980 I would never betray you, Phaere. I have done everything you have asked of me, and I am yours to command. |
| 51981 I'll convince you of nothing. I refuse to betray the matron mother. |
| 51982 Hmmm... no. No, I do not trust you, Veldrin. You will betray me for your own benefit to the matron mother, I think. It is time for you to die. |
| 51983 Hah! You are a flatterer, Veldrin. But your statement has the ring of truth. I will allow you to aid me in my plan... and I shall forget your hesitation. |
| 51984 You heard Matron speak of the ritual? Matron will summon a demon of terrible power, Veldrin... one to aid the drow in our attack upon the surface elves. |
| 51985 Good. Then you may aid me in my plan and be rewarded accordingly once I am the new matron mother. |
| 51986 The blood is a component in this ritual, used to draw the demon's attention and bring him before us. |
| 51987 But, most gloriously, House Despana has acquired the eggs of a silver dragon. The one guarding the route to the surface that we drow descended from so long ago. |
| 51988 Holding these eggs hostage keeps the silver dragon from interfering. Even better, Matron plans to use them as an offering to the demon to enlist its aid. |
| 51989 Indeed, what demon could refuse? House Despana will have opened the way for the war and summoned its most powerful warrior. We shall become preeminent. |
| 51990 But there is no rule that states Ardulace must still be matron mother of such a powerful House. |
| 51991 What? No patrol has returned from that winged serpent's lair alive. No doubt this is some trick of hers, and you are exceptionally dim to have tipped me to it! |
| 51992 Go to the treasury, Veldrin... steal the dragon's eggs and replace them with the convincing fakes that I have had made. You will then bring the real eggs to me. |
| 51993 Matron will offer the fake eggs to the demon and be killed. Then I shall offer him the real eggs. The ritual will be completed, and I shall be matron mother. |
| 51994 The city of Ust Natha rejects you! Nothing but the sleep of death awaits you here! |
| 51995 Who is there?! You are drow, but there are no scheduled patrols this day! Identify yourselves! |
| 51996 Here... here is the key to the treasury room and the fake eggs. Take them. Return with the real eggs before the ritual is ready to begin. |
| 51997 Stand strong, <CHARNAME>. The drow cower before no one, least of all their own. |
| 51998 I will speak to this worm of a male. You there! We are from the city of Ched Nasad, and you will let us pass. We require rest and the services of your temples! |
| 51999 Yours is the power here, <CHARNAME>. Females are the dominant leaders. Act accordingly. |
| 52000 What are you waiting for? Go! Go! Replace the real eggs with the fakes and bring the real eggs to me! Quickly! |
| 52001 Stand down, male worm! I am Veldrin from the city of Ched Nasad. Let me pass! |
| 52002 I see you have the eggs with you. But the false eggs must be placed where the real ones were kept, or my deception will be worth nothing. Go quickly! |
| 52003 A sickening display! You are no drow at heart! You cower like a kobold! Such a weakling was likely outcast from Ched Nasad! |
| 52004 You have replaced the real eggs, I see, but where are they?! Did you not bring them with you?! Go! Go and find them and bring me the real eggs! Quickly! |
| 52005 You will cause no one's death but your own! Such demands are not made of the city gate! |
| 52006 I give you one warning... the guards will try and stop you in the treasury, if they see you. Kill them only if you must. Use stealth, Veldrin... now go. |
| 52007 My apologies, I merely follow my duty in questioning you. You are welcome to pass, Veldrin of Ched Nasad. |
| 52008 You are welcome within, travelers from Ched Nasad. I regret my tone, but all must be examined before entry to Ust Natha. |
| 52009 Ahhhh, you are a marvel, my brilliant <PRO_MALEFEMALE>. You are indeed. You have done as I asked and returned to me with the eggs. Where are they? |
| 52010 Veldrin? I do not know the name, but you may pass. The gate will allow your entry to Ust Natha. |
| 52011 Here you go. (Give Solaufein's eggs.) |
| 52012 There would normally be an extensive questioning of you, but we were expecting your group from Ched Nasad. Your late arrival has delayed the plans of Solaufein. |
| 52013 Here you go. (Give the real eggs.) |
| 52014 Enter quickly, and be sure that you seek Solaufein's counsel. He of the Male Fighters' Society will instruct you on your conduct within Ust Natha. |
| 52015 Be aware that your welcome is conditional, and that if you fail to meet with him or fail him in any other way, you will be hunted for sport by all that care to join in. |
| 52016 The Male Fighters' Society is in the north end of the city, past the Female Fighters' Society and just before the spider pit. |
| 52017 Ahh, you wakey wakey now, I sees? Goods! Now it time to fight! |
| 52018 So these are the silver dragon's eggs? Yes, they must be. Thank you, Veldrin... you have performed well. |
| 52019 Excellent! It is most gratifying to have such a servant as you, <PRO_MALEFEMALE>. You have done well. |
| 52020 I will go to the temple for the ritual... I expect you to be present for my victory. Go to the temple to meet me and do not delay, or I shall be most angry. |
| 52021 You have come! The ritual is about to begin... and my ascension shall be sweet indeed. Let us attend, Veldrin. |
| 52022 Veldrin! Excellent, I have found you. I have been watching you for some time now here in the city. |
| 52023 I do not know your purpose, or if you will listen to me. But I have something to offer... something to give that treacherous wench, Phaere, what she deserves. |
| 52024 I followed her and saw that she had duplicates of the dragon's eggs made... and I have surmised her plan. I have had a second copy made. |
| 52025 Phaere had her copies marked so she would recognize them, but these have no such mark. They will fool her if you give them to her instead of the real eggs. |
| 52026 Will you take them, Veldrin? Will you take them and give them to her? |
| 52027 I will. Thank you, Solaufein. |
| 52028 No. I have no intention of betraying Phaere. |
| 52029 Good. Whatever your purpose in this city, I don't care. But since you spared my life... well, I only wish I could be there to see the look on her face. |
| 52030 Fare you well, then... and good luck. |
| 52031 You are odd. You spare me, yet continue to do as Phaere commands? She will walk over your carcass just as she did mine! You'll not see me again. |
| 52032 Surfacer! I have found you! I have been hiding in the shadows of the city for some time now, and I believe I may be able to repay you for your mercy. |
| 52033 What is this place? |
| 52034 Who are you? |
| 52035 What am I doing here? |
| 52036 Fine then! I'll have your head! |
| 52037 You did not tell me your reason for being here in the drow city, but I may know. I followed Phaere and saw she had copies of the dragon's eggs created. |
| 52038 Questions, questions, always da new fighters got the same questions. You listen then, and I tell you what you need to know. |
| 52039 I have surmised her plan... and, no doubt, it involves using you as well. I believe I have a way that you can fool her, if that is what you wish. |
| 52040 I had an additional copy of the eggs made. Phaere marked hers so she could recognize them... these are not. She will be fooled if you give them to her. |
| 52041 I care nothing for the drow war on the surface elves, and I spit on Phaere and her House. I can give this extra copy of the eggs to you to foil her plans. |
| 52042 You mentioned your mission to me... and I believe I may be able to help you. I recently followed Phaere as she went to have copies of the dragon's eggs made. |
| 52043 Yes, give them to me. This should work perfectly. |
| 52044 I don't trust you, Solaufein. I will work this out my own way. |
| 52045 Excellent. I wish I could be there to see the look on her face... and tell her that it was I who fooled her. But it is well enough that I am not. |
| 52046 Fare you well, surfacer. I shall praise your name when I hear of Despana's wretched fall. |
| 52047 You are wise not to trust me, surfacer... although I wish I could convince you otherwise. I pray you find a way to engineer the witch's fall without me. |
| 52048 Good fortune to you, then, surfacer. We shall not meet again. |
| 52049 Ha HA! No, silly little one, you don't fight me. I earned right to not fight. No, you fight in the arena. Listen, I tell you what you need to know. |
| 52050 I am preparing for the ritual that will bring the Despana into unquestioned supremacy... so your interruption had better be important, <MALEFEMALE>. Is it? |
| 52051 First thing, I not the one that capture. You trespass on the home of the flayers, and you got caught. Now you pay for your stay. Understand? |
| 52052 Next thing, you better fight well in the arena, because if you don't fight well, you die. If you don't fight at all, you die. |
| 52053 Yes, it is. Phaere is planning on betraying you during the ceremony. |
| 52054 Maybe you live long enough to get servant position. Better than fighting. Oh, last rule, never attack the flayers. You are in their home. They kill you with their thoughts. |
| 52055 I think so. I need to ask you some questions. |
| 52056 Poison Weapon |
| 52057 So I must fight for the amusement of the flayers? Do you mean "mind flayers"? |
| 52058 I will not be forced to fight! I refuse! |
| 52059 You look like a reasonable fellow. I could offer you a lot if you were to release me. |
| 52060 Then I will fight. I will not resist... for now. |
| 52061 No, I'll go. |
| 52062 I have no interest in your questions, foolish <MALEFEMALE>. Begone! And do not interrupt me again! |
| 52063 Then begone! Interrupt me again and you will be fed to the driders, impertinent <MALEFEMALE>! |
| 52064 That is... most interesting, <MALEFEMALE>. It is not the first time a daughter attempted to replace me. I have always succeeded in killing the traitors. |
| 52065 But I have had no hint of betrayal from Phaere, and I would not throw away a daughter high in Lolth's favor without proof. Do you *have* proof, <MALEFEMALE>? |
| 52066 Phaere gave me these copies of the dragon eggs to replace the real ones in the treasury. |
| 52067 She had me steal the dragon eggs... these... and intended to replace them with fakes. |
| 52068 She gave me the key to your treasury room, where the dragon eggs are kept. |
| 52069 Let me see those! Yes... very close. I begin to see her plan. I would have been fooled, had this deception not been pointed out to me. |
| 52070 And I see the real eggs in your possession. I shall take those. My daughter had to give you her key... the only way into the treasury. |
| 52071 What of the real eggs, then? Have you taken them from the treasury already, with my daughter's key? If so, give them to me now. |
| 52072 Here you are. (Give her the real eggs.) |
| 52073 Here you are. (Give her Solaufein's eggs.) |
| 52074 You will live if you fight well. I warn though: Do not anger spectators. They extra strong in this place because of big brain. First battle begins now! |
| 52075 Excellent. Yes, these are the real ones indeed. And you could only have entered with my daughter's key. Obviously, the foolish girl thought you a simple pet. |
| 52076 I mean the masters that control the fights. You do as I say, and they don't kill you. You will face many opponents before you are servant like me. |
| 52077 You suddenly have a sense of imminent danger. Something here is not what it seems. |
| 52078 Foul magic is at work! |
| 52079 Where is Irenicus, woman? |
| 52080 You shall be rewarded well for your loyalty, <MALEFEMALE>. And my foolish daughter shall be punished for her treachery. Guards! Come to me! |
| 52081 Could you offer my life? No, because as soon as I disobey, I drop dead because of collar. No, you know nothing about it. You just fight and hope you win. |
| 52082 There is no refuse. You get stunned before you come here, right? Well, in this place they even stronger because of real big brain. |
| 52083 But there is no guarantee the deception is Phaere's. It may be your own doing, <MALEFEMALE>. Have you more proof? Or must I kill you for knowing too much? |
| 52084 So you will do what you told, and that is that. I did what I, was told and I live. Others disobeyed, and they dead. |
| 52085 I have the key to the treasury... Phaere gave it to me. |
| 52086 Ah... no. No, I don't... |
| 52087 That is my daughter's copy. The only other besides my own. |
| 52088 This requires more investigation then, I think. In the meantime, foolish <MALEFEMALE>... you die. |
| 52089 Well! You fight well! For now, you live! I come tell you when next battle begins. |
| 52090 Now you fight again. Keep up good work. I cheer for you guys, I think. Those githyanki is awful sour in the face. |
| 52091 You fight them githyanki this time. Hope you didn't talk too much with them. That makes the killing harder, I know. |
| 52092 Let me see those! Yes... I begin to see her plan. And if you were able to acquire these, she obviously gave you her key... the only copy other than my own. |
| 52093 Ahh, you ready now? Getting tough, I know, but you do okay. Time to fight again, so get ready. |
| 52094 Ah... no. No, I don't. Just a hunch. |
| 52095 And my "hunch" is that you shall die today, idiotic <MALEFEMALE>. |
| 52096 Guards... bring my eldest daughter to me. Do not allow her to command you otherwise. She has betrayed House Despana. |
| 52097 What?! What is the meaning of this, Matron?! Why am I to be dragged before you?! |
| 52098 I see through your innocent words, daughter. You are a fool. You have betrayed House Despana. |
| 52099 No! No, why do you say this?! |
| 52100 Why? Look on who stands with me, daughter... and I think you shall know why. |
| 52101 Who...? Veldrin? No! No, Matron! It is *<PRO_HISHER>* plot to overthrow you, <PRO_HISHER> plot alone! I swear by Lolth's name that <PRO_HESHE> is attempting to frame me! |
| 52102 You *dare* to call the Spider Queen's name?! You are pathetic, Phaere. Pathetic and weak. I should have killed you long ago... I shall rectify that now. |
| 52103 NO! NO! VELDRIN, ATTACK HER! KILL HER! I COMMAND YOU! AHHHHH! BURN IN THE ABYSS THEN! ROT FOREVER, I WILL |
| 52104 Mother Lolth! I call on you to strike down this impertinent daughter of yours! She is no longer worthy of you! Strike her down! |
| 52105 There. It is done. If she had been stronger and more worthy of the Spider Queen, she would have succeeded. |
| 52106 You have done well yet again, Veldrin. You continue to prove yourself worthy of the House's favor. Very well... you will attend the ritual as it is performed. |
| 52107 You will stand in a place of honor and ensure that there are no further... interruptions... that will stop the ritual from reaching completion. |
| 52108 Wait here. A guard will be dispatched to bring you to the ritual when it is ready to begin. It shall not be long, favored one. |
| 52109 Ahhh, here am I, here am I. Wondering you who I am must you be, yes? Servant loyal to the silver one forever! The silver one serve you, or her bidding do you, matters it does not. |
| 52110 Watching you, have I been. Most interesting a time, watching you. Tricky, tricky, tricky! Deceit upon deceit, the silver one's eggs safe from immediate harm they be. |
| 52111 Watching you, have I been. Most interesting, watching you has been. Time for action upon you almost is! Silver one's eggs rescued they must be! |
| 52112 But get them out of city you must! Closed magically, sealed, the city is. Dead the Matron Mother Ardulace's first must be, if leave you wish to. |
| 52113 Once dead the matron mother be, fleeing with eggs you should. Much anger from priestesses there will come... minutes you have, maybe, before revealed your disguise is. Quickly leaving you must be. |
| 52114 Stopping the ritual you must before to the demon given the eggs are! Dead the matron mother must be before leaving sealed city you can. |
| 52115 Taking eggs must you then, and fleeing. Much anger will the priestesses have, and minutes have you maybe before revealed your disguise is. Quickly moving you must. |
| 52116 Failing the silver one if you do... coming to you, she will. Liking that, you will not. Saving eggs you must. |
| 52117 Shhh! Quiet must I be! Coming, someone is! Ritual beginning soon, thinks I! Wishing you luck I am, manling! |
| 52118 To the matron mother's daughter, go you must... waiting in the temple for you she is. Of the essence, time is very! Wishing you luck, am I, manling... |
| 52119 I am the matron mother of House Despana, foolish <MALEFEMALE>. Disturb me again without cause, and I shall have you fed to the driders. Begone! |
| 52120 Enough of your impudence! I have been disturbed by you for the last time! Now you shall die, fool! |
| 52121 Very well. All preparations have been made... it is time for the ritual to begin. In moments the drow will stand supreme with House Despana first among them. |
| 52122 Ensure nothing disturbs my casting. When the demon appears, do not interfere. Mistakes from any of you will earn you a quick death and eternal torment. |
| 52123 Now... I shall begin. |
| 52124 Now... I shall begin. |
| 52125 You fool! Damnable, insolent insect! The ritual cannot be recastâ€â€you have interfered and caused our ruin! |
| 52126 No drow would be so insipid as to DARE such a thing! Who are you?! Why are you here?! I *shall* find out, and then I shall TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB! |
| 52127 WHAT?! Surface creatures?! Here?! Hidden amongst us?! YOU SHALL DIE HORRIBLY FOR THIS IGNOMINY! GUARDS! KILL THEM ALL! |
| 52128 ** I HAVE COME... YOU HAVE WRESTED ME FROM MY PLANE, DARKLING... HAVE GOOD REASON, OR I SHALL TAKE MY PRICE IN DARKLING BLOOD... ** |
| 52129 I have good reason, lord of the nether pits! I beseech you to aid the drow cause in the war against our hated surface cousins, to carve their pale flesh! |
| 52130 ** AND WHAT MANNER OF TITHE WOULD YOU OFFER ME FOR SUCH A DEED, DARKLING? WHAT MANNER OF PAYMENT WARRANTS MY AID? ** |
| 52131 I offer you *these*, lord of fiends... eggs of a silver dragon, a self-righteous creature of light. Yours to do with as you please, in return for your aid. |
| 52132 ** AAAAHHHH, THIS IS A MOST EXCELLENT TITHE, DARKLING. ** |
| 52133 Then take them! Take them and destroy our elven enemies! |
| 52134 ** ARE YOU AWARE, DARKLING, THAT ALLIES OF YOUR ELVEN FOES ARE PRESENT HERE? PERHAPS YOU ARE NOT. GAZE, THEN, UPON THEIR NATURAL FORMS. ** |
| 52135 WHAT?! Veldrin is... is a surface <PRO_RACE>? No! NO! AN OUTRAGE! DESTROY THE SURFACERS, LORD OF DARKNESS! KILL THEM ALL! |
| 52136 ** IT SHALL BE A PLEASURE. ** |
| 52137 ** FOOLISH DARKLING. DO YOU THINK I WOULD BE TAKEN IN BY SUCH A SIMPLISTIC DECEPTION? I? ** |
| 52138 Wh-what do you mean, O dark lord? These... these are |
| 52139 ** THEY ARE FALSE, DARKLING. I WOULD TAKE SUCH A TITHE, WERE IT REAL, BUT NOW YOU HAVE OFFENDED ME. PERISH, LITTLE DARKLING WOMAN. ** |
| 52140 NO! NO! LOLTH PROTECT YOUR FAITHF |
| 52141 ** HOW DARE YOU CALL ME FORTH! HOW DARE YOU TEMPT ME WITH EGGS OF HATED SILVER, BUT THEN DECEIVE ME! I AM TEMPTED TO RAZE THIS CITY TO ASHES! ** |
| 52142 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 52143 Begone, demon! There is nothing for you here. She who has summoned you is dead. |
| 52144 (Remain silent.) |
| 52145 ** IS THAT SO? I SEE WHAT YOU TRULY ARE, BHAAL CHILD, AND I AM AMUSED. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU REQUEST FROM ME FOR YOUR TITHE? ** |
| 52146 I wish to get out of here, out of the Underdark... safely! |
| 52147 I desire a vast amount of wealth! |
| 52148 I desire a powerful magic item! |
| 52149 I want you to give me power, great power beyond belief! |
| 52150 Er... I've changed my mind. Maybe this isn't a good idea. |
| 52151 ** EASILY DONE, BHAAL CHILD. I SHALL WALK TO THE EXIT AND DESTROY ALL WHO ARE YOUR ENEMIES IN MY PATH. FOLLOW ME, EVIL ONE. ** |
| 52152 ** BAH. I HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR SUCH ABSURDITY. EASIER BY FAR FOR ME TO KILL YOU, FOOLISH BHAAL CHILD. ** |
| 52153 ** IT IS DONE. A WORTHY TRADE. NOW DISTURB ME NO FURTHER. ** |
| 52154 ** I HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR FOOLS. IF I SHALL NOT HAVE THE EGGS, I SHALL HAVE YOUR BLOOD, BHAAL CHILD. ** |
| 52155 ** BAH! IT WOULD NOT BE WORTH MY TIME TO DEAL WITH SUCH INSECTS. DISTURB ME NO FURTHER OR SUFFER AT MY HANDS, FOOLISH DARKLINGS! ** |
| 52156 Hold, demon! I am the daughter of the one who has summoned you... and I have the eggs that you seek. I offer them to you as the tithe! |
| 52157 ** HAHAHAHA! A GREAT JOKE HAS BEEN PLAYED ON YOU, DAUGHTER-DARKLING. THE EGGS YOU HOLD ARE ALSO FALSE. ** |
| 52158 What?! No, it's... Veldrin? VELDRIN?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?! |
| 52159 ** THE BHAAL CHILD HAS MURDERED YOU, DARKLING DAUGHTER. MOST AMUSING, IT IS. HAHAHAHA! COME, NOW, AND BE MURDERED. ** |
| 52160 NO! I WILL DESTROY YOU, VELDRIN! I WILL FIND YOU AND EAT YOUR BEATING HEART! I WILL |
| 52161 You aren't doing anything with those eggs, Phaere. Hand them over or die. |
| 52162 You betray me?! Ignorant fool! Your use to me was ended anyway. Lolth would have enjoyed you as a sacrifice. Demon! I command you to destroy the infidels! |
| 52163 ** YOU COMMAND NOTHING, DARKLING CHILD! I WILL SUFFER NO MORE OF THIS! I WILL FEAST ON THE EGGS AFTER I HAVE DESTROYED YOU ALL! ** |
| 52164 Damn you, Veldrin! You have destroyed us all! I will see you writhing in the Demonweb Pits for all eternity for this! |
| 52165 (Remain silent.) |
| 52166 ** AAAAHHHH, THIS IS A MOST EXCELLENT TITHE, DARKLING CHILD. I AM APPEASED. ** |
| 52167 ** ARE YOU AWARE, DARKLING, THAT ALLIES OF YOUR ELVEN FOES ARE PRESENT HERE? PERHAPS YOU ARE NOT. GAZE, THEN, UPON THEIR NATURAL FORMS. ** |
| 52168 Take the eggs then, demon lord! For the glory of Lolth, lead our people to the surface and carve a path of blood through our ancient elven foes! |
| 52169 V-Veldrin?! Not a drow at all, but a... a surface <PRO_RACE>?! Infiltrator?! AN OUTRAGE! DEMON LORD, GUARDS... KILL THEM ALL! |
| 52170 ** IT SHALL BE A PLEASURE TO DESTROY THE BHAAL CHILD. ** |
| 52171 ** NOW... IT SEEMS THERE ARE NO *ACTUAL* DRAGON EGGS TO BE HAD. A PITY. UNLESS THERE IS A BETTER OFFER, I SHALL DEPART. ** |
| 52172 I have the eggs, demon. I shall give them to you in return for a boon. |
| 52173 Return to whence you came, demon... your summoners are dead. |
| 52174 (Remain silent.) |
| 52175 ** SO BE IT. MORTALS ARE EVER FOOLS. ** |
| 52176 I see we are not alone in this place. It is the worst of fates, for we are entrapped by the feared and despicable illithids. |
| 52177 And to think we would suffer the same fate as youâ€â€you who should have died in our ambush upon the sea. |
| 52178 We are all destined for the same fate, as playthings in the arena. A foul way to end a being's life, I think. |
| 52179 What manner of creatures are you? I have not seen your kind before. |
| 52180 What do you know of illithids? Are they also called mind flayers? |
| 52181 So you will fight here? We will probably have to fight each other then. |
| 52182 Your fate is of no interest to me. I will find a way out by myself. |
| 52183 We are githyanki, and we do not come here without purpose. Someone had taken a sword of ours... a silver sword. We were to reclaim it. |
| 52184 But our ship was capsized, and now we are in custody of the most hated of enemies, the illithid mind flayers. This is an abomination I will not allow. |
| 52185 We harbor a special hatred for the illithids, and we will see them dead before we are done. Or we die ourselves. |
| 52186 I can speak no more. My charges must meditate for the coming battle. It will take great strength of mind to escape this place. Great strength. |
| 52187 We know much of the tentacled ones. They enslave and they kill, and we will not allow ourselves to remain here. |
| 52188 Perhaps we shall, and one of us will have to die. It is not a threat we are unfamiliar with. We came to this realm with the thought of battle, to reclaim a silver sword. |
| 52189 It will become your affair when you cannot escape on your own. Alliances of the strangest kinds are forged in places like this. |
| 52190 Please do not interrupt our thoughts. We must prepare carefully if we are to see a weakness in the illithid web. |
| 52191 They come, and we are drawn to the fight. Weapons ready, my charges, for we are about to be taken into the sight of the most hated illithids! |
| 52192 You there! We have fought in our battle, and I believe we are scheduled to face each other when next the jailer comes. |
| 52193 We could each boast about who will live, but I believe a far better plan is before us. It is a slim chance, but it is the only one that is available. |
| 52194 I am listening. |
| 52195 Save it. I will defeat you and worry about escape later. |
| 52196 I do not trust you. |
| 52197 Regardless of mistrust or bravado, I will speak the plan, and you will have to see the reasonable nature of it. |
| 52198 As your jailer has told you, the illithids are strong here in their house. They have power here to slay as they wish, and escape is impossible. |
| 52199 But we of the githyanki have power of our own, and I believe we may be able to disrupt the illithids and allow another to make an escape. |
| 52200 When we are called to battle, we of the githyanki will meditate within the ring, pushing back the minds of the illithids. You may then open the arena doors that we may all escape. |
| 52201 You must find a way out of the illithid city. We will distract the illithids until you succeed in forcing your way from this twisted city. |
| 52202 Once our meditations are done, there will be no more instant death in the arena, but through the door is the only path that is possible. |
| 52203 Then that is what I will do. We will work together. |
| 52204 I do not trust you at all. I will not partake in this plan. |
| 52205 We shall see. I will evaluate this plan of yours when the time comes. |
| 52206 Then ready yourself, for the time of battle is at hand. The jailer will come for us both soon. |
| 52207 Then you are foolish. We have no choice and will proceed whether you say you will help or not. |
| 52208 We will delay the power of the illithids as long as we can. If you do not act once we begin, then you doom us all. Hear now, the jailer comes soon. |
| 52209 You are foolish if you think there is another way. Once the meditations begin, there will be but one course. Take it and we shall all be free. |
| 52210 You do not help our cause by attacking the illithid here! There are many more where they came from! See to the door first! |
| 52211 We begin the meditation. Slay these kuo-toa and find our escape from this place. We will deal with the hated illithids. |
| 52212 You have done well, and the githyanki are now free of the illithid web of minds. Our own power is free once more, and we may leave this place on wings of will. |
| 52213 You will remain here, I fear, for we cannot carry you and still remain free ourselves. In the future, we will return and kill all the filth that their tentacles have touched. |
| 52214 What?! I knew I couldn't trust you! |
| 52215 Then go, but when next we meet, we will be at each other's throats. |
| 52216 Cowardice. You face these creatures only when convenient? |
| 52217 Ahh, but you could, and we freed you. Without us, you would not have come even this far, and all is not lost just yet. |
| 52218 But your crime is one that cannot be forgiven. You possess one of our silver swords, and for that you will be put to the test. |
| 52219 If you can conquer this place, if you can kill the elder brain, all the doors shall swing wide and you may walk free. |
| 52220 That is acceptable. We wait to see if you can muster the strength to free yourself from this place. |
| 52221 We face them when the fight will be glorious, but there is a limit. Losing lives to the illithids without hope of victory is not a course we welcome. |
| 52222 If not, we will return at a later time with a greater force. This den of filth will be wiped from existence. |
| 52223 I wish you success and health, and may the great brain fall beneath your feet. |
| 52224 I hope you succeed and the elder brain falls beneath your feet, but I hope the arm that wields our silver sword is lost to you. |
| 52225 You live?! The illithids let you go?! Astounding... unless you are in league with them. I warn you, if you serve them, you will share their fate! |
| 52226 No, actually, I DESTROYED THE WHOLE DAMNED BUNCH WITHOUT YOU! |
| 52227 The battle was fierce, but I prevailed. It would have been simpler if you had helped. |
| 52228 I do not blame you for leaving. It was a tough struggle to escape. |
| 52229 I sense hostility. I would advise that you redirect your anger. It is admirable that you survived, but that does not imply you would survive against us. |
| 52230 We are in no mood for your gesticulations. We contemplate our next move here and do not need your interruption. |
| 52231 We shall have to test your worth, though your death is the only result we seek. It is a pity that you freed yourself. |
| 52232 I had hoped you would fall and the stolen silver sword you carry would be dropped in the illithid city. We would return with great force and exact terrible justice. |
| 52233 It seems that you cannot resist the spell that drow female cast, <CHARNAME>. I find it quite amusing, actually. Did she force you into the act, or did you go willingly? |
| 52234 Perhaps, but motivations are never simple. We sought to return with an obliterating force. You have saved us the trouble. |
| 52235 No matter. Hopefully, we have the opportunity to kill the wench. Were I not in hiding, I would challenge her openly and remove her head... but we cannot have everything. |
| 52236 We did not leave out of fear or dread. We sought to return with an overwhelming force. You have saved us the trouble. |
| 52237 With the illithid city gone, we will return whence we came. Leave us, and we will likewise leave you. |
| 52238 That was quite odd, <CHARNAME>. I was sure that Phaere intended to seduce you. How did you squirm from her grasp? |
| 52239 Perhaps it was thoughts of me that kept you celibate, hmmm? Ha ha... well, this spares me the effort of flaying either of you alive, at least. Hard work, that is. |
| 52240 You spent quite some time in the drow woman's chambers, <CHARNAME>. Care to elaborate what you were about, as if I did not know? |
| 52241 She forced me, Jaheira. I had no choice if I wanted to maintain our guise. |
| 52242 She forced me, Jaheira. I had no choice if I wanted to maintain our guise. |
| 52243 It served a purpose and nothing more. |
| 52244 I didn't have much choice. I'm sorry. |
| 52245 It's none of your business either way. |
| 52246 I suppose that is true enough, although I can think of several lies you might have tried for our sake. But I trust you enough. Let us just... move on. |
| 52247 Hmph. You are just the sort to lie to me about this. And that this makes me uncomfortable is even worse. I think I prefer to be on my own for a time. |
| 52248 I know the purpose. Simple self-gratification, or do you maintain there was no way to avoid the situation? Ahhh, enough... I do not want to hear any more. |
| 52249 I am sorry too, and disappointed, but I suppose it could not be avoided... with you being male and in this guise. I shall... attempt to forget about it. |
| 52250 No? Very well. I shall endeavor to keep my shrewish opinions to myself, on this and all other matters regarding us. |
| 52251 Hmmm... out so soon? Did the drow woman not dig her claws into you successfully? That is good. I shudder to think what might have happened otherwise. |
| 52252 You... you let that drow woman... touch you, didn't you? You let such an evil thing... all over you? I just... I just can't understand why you would allow such a thing to happen! |
| 52253 We did not flee out of fear; rather, I thought it best to return with an overwhelming force. We will lose no more to the hated mind flayer. |
| 52254 This gleaming shaft of metal gleams and pulses brightly when touched, and is obviously a piece of a larger weapon. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 52255 D-don't bother saying anything... I don't want to hear it! I... I just don't think you're the person I thought you were, <CHARNAME>. I'd... like to be alone for a while. |
| 52256 You... you weren't in her room for very long. Not long enough to... well, I mean... you obviously got away from her. That's... that's a relief. I was beginning to wonder. |
| 52257 Very well, but I would recommend you treat potential allies better in the future. |
| 52258 I hardly think I should simply walk away. You left me to die. |
| 52259 I think not! I am not content to leave you! I will repay your treachery now! |
| 52260 Wild Surge: |
| 52261 I did not steal any such sword. It was Saemon Havarian that gave it to me. |
| 52262 Why is this blade so important? |
| 52263 Sorry to disappoint you, but I do not have your blade. |
| 52264 Save your threats. It is mine now. Nothing you can say will make me give it back. |
| 52265 I speak through my supreme leader, Simyaz. If you wish my thoughts, you may ask him. |
| 52266 EEEAAAArrrrrgghghgh! |
| 52267 I... I live again!... but the... the indignity! I was staked! |
| 52268 And you will be again, foul creature! |
| 52269 A simple matter to remove the thorn from your paw. Simple to put it back as well. |
| 52270 Yes, yes, now tell me what you know of this place or I will put it back. |
| 52271 The golem stares straight ahead. It does not appear to see or hear you. You suspect that the golem is inactive. |
| 52272 The golem stares straight ahead. It does not appear to see or hear you. You suspect that the golem is inactive. |
| 52273 What?! *YOU* are not my contact amongst your kind! I have been betrayed! |
| 52274 I allowed you to escape the first time, but I shall not... not... Valygar? |
| 52275 Suna? Suna Seni! W-wha... what are you doing here? |
| 52276 I am hunting the Bhaalspawn, Valygar. You... you should not be with <PRO_HIMHER>. Go, leave, before I am forced to deal with you the same as the rest of <PRO_HISHER> companions! |
| 52277 What?! You... work for the man that is hunting <CHARNAME>? Suna, that wizard is a man of terrible evil! Why are you doing this? |
| 52278 I... have little choice. Please, Valygar... if our past means anything to you, leave now. I don't want to have to hurt you. |
| 52279 You have no choice? Suna, if the wizard is controlling you somehow, we can help you. You don't have to do this. |
| 52280 Valygar, I... you cannot help me. Men... take <CHARNAME> and... kill the rest. |
| 52281 Suna, no! |
| 52282 I'm sorry, my old love. I truly am. |
| 52283 A terrible waste of life, to train one's charges so. <CHARNAME>, let us be away from this place before I spoil your quest by slaying each and every last foul thief I see here. |
| 52284 That's... how they train the thieves here? I'm glad I never went this route. How horrible, to be considered so completely irrelevant by your mentors... |
| 52285 Well, he shouldn't have gotten the trap wrong, now, should he? It's a simple enough device... and such a mistake in the field would have cost him his life just as quickly. |
| 52286 Not all of us are as focused on coin as <CHARNAME>, miss. Come, now... tell us what we are facing here so that we may plan for a proper assault. |
| 52287 <CHARNAME>! That's terrible! We told Nalia that we'd help her, and that's what I think we should do! Nalia... why don't you tell us what we're... going to be facing in there? |
| 52288 True heroes demand no reward, <CHARNAME>, and Boo knows you to be a true hero! We need only know what foes we are to face before the boot-stomping can begin! |
| 52289 Ahh, so I am awakened only to fight? Why free me at all, oh righteous one? No matter, I am willing! I will be free of this place and all their damned controlling devices! |
| 52290 I see your threat and what you wish, though I have no service to offer in exchange for your deed. I am weak, and this place has sapped my will. |
| 52291 If this is all the lady has to offer, <CHARNAME>, we must accept. To do otherwise would be dishonorable. We shall aid you, my lady. Tell us what ails your family keep. |
| 52292 Consider yourself paid for your services, <CHARNAME>. I insist we help the young lady whether you like it or not. What is the problem, exactly, young lady? |
| 52293 How can you refuse so coldly? I will not stand idly by. Nalia... we will aid you, as will <CHARNAME>, I am sure. What is the problem, precisely? |
| 52294 Har har! Ye've heard <CHARNAME>, lassie. If ye want our help, ye'll raise some more gold. Of course... ye could make arrangement fer a trade... heh... aye, indeed... |
| 52295 No! Say it cannot be so! <CHARNAME>, we must rescue the nice man's child and be off! Unless... unless you have some plan? Minsc is confused. |
| 52296 Haaa... I will not tolerate any kind of deal with this beast, <CHARNAME>. I will endeavor to rescue the child myself if I must. |
| 52297 Step carefully, <CHARNAME>. I hear your words, and I am not impressed. I will stand against you with my blade should you go through with what you speak of. |
| 52298 In Arvoreen's name! Would you even consider such action, <CHARNAME>?! I will not stand for it! It reeks of evil! |
| 52299 <CHARNAME>... I know you do some... questionable things, but please don't do this. I couldn't live with myself, knowing that I had taken part in such a thing. *Please* don't. |
| 52300 You stand in a workshop, where they tested both my flesh and my thoughts. They fear the undead, these tentacled horrors, for I have a mind they cannot taste. |
| 52301 O-ho! Dissension in your ranks, <CHARNAME>? Can this be so? Your companions' attitudes mean nothing to me, however. What is it that you wish to do? |
| 52302 That depends on what sort of payment you intend to offer. |
| 52303 I'll do as I wish, and I wish to do this. |
| 52304 I suppose I will rescue the child, as I'd planned. We *will* meet again in the future, however, dragon. |
| 52305 Perhaps not. But we will meet again, you and I. |
| 52306 No! Has <CHARNAME> truly fallen so far?! A glorious rescue has turned into a nightmare of epic proportion! Minsc and Boo will stop you! |
| 52307 Taste... er, I do not know what you hope to... extract from me... There is naught here but the crowns they use to commune with their vile brain... They place it upon their heads and go to the vat... |
| 52308 So be it. I warned you, <CHARNAME>, that I wouldn't take part in such a deed, and I won't. Now I must stop you. |
| 52309 Perhaps if I had... had my old strength back... perhaps if you would donate to me... a bit of your... your blood. I would remember so much more... |
| 52310 Foul fiend! Your filthy god's blood shows itself to me at last! Truly I was meant to be here to stop you from continuing! Have at you! |
| 52311 Stand back, creature. You'll have none of my blood today! |
| 52312 You'll remember just fine the way you are. Now, continue. |
| 52313 Ah, what the heck. You might as well have some. Just a little, mind you. |
| 52314 Very well. You have made your choice, <CHARNAME>... and it is an evil one. I will not tolerate such activity. |
| 52315 If... if that's what you're going to do, then I can't be a part of this, <CHARNAME>. I'm... I'm going back to the circus. At least... at least the people there are decent. |
| 52316 Blood... I must have... the thirst I feel... demanding! |
| 52317 Yes... just a little... a little of... the blood... the thirst I have... must quench the thirst I have! |
| 52318 Aha-ha! This should be amusing, at least. I am content to watch, so long as your battle does not get irritating. Now, <CHARNAME>... let's see what comes naturally, yes? |
| 52319 You do a terrible thing here, <CHARNAME>. I can only pray for your salvation, owing to good deeds you have done in the past... but I shall do them from elsewhere. Farewell. |
| 52320 Sarn! Nind ph' naut Ilythiiri! |
| 52321 We protect the matron mother with our lives, if need be. Do not anger the matron or the Spider Queen, and you shall have nothing to fear from us. |
| 52322 The matron is dead! The Handmaidens will scour the city for whoever is responsible for this! You... maybe it is you, <MALEFEMALE>... we shall see... |
| 52323 Nindol orn tlu jivvin. Ssussun pholor dos, shebali! |
| 52324 Kyorl! Udos phu' naut dossta ogglen! |
| 52325 Nindol orn tlu jivvin. Oloth plynn dos, colnbluth! |
| 52326 Hold, this area is closed to all but the raiding parties. You will return to the city proper, or you will be killed. |
| 52327 The time has come for the ritual... The matron mother has sent for you to come and be present for its casting. Follow me, honored ones. |
| 52328 This has not gone well, <CHARNAME>. They will speak no reason! |
| 52329 Hah! Fool thief! |
| 52330 More of the ilk! You shall die! |
| 52331 The... the matron is dead?! The ritual has failed?! What has happened?! Someone will pay once the Handmaidens discover who is at fault! |
| 52332 We will travel as we see fit. We have important business above, and you will not keep us. |
| 52333 Beware! More enemies approach! |
| 52334 No one is to pass unless we say so. Your words may get you a sweet seat in the dueling tavern, woman, but they hold little sway here. |
| 52335 Greetings, lovely female. I am Szordrin, the manager of the fighting pit... entertainment for us all and a chance to gain Lolth's favor. |
| 52336 I will speak for myself, Viconia. These males will be made to listen. |
| 52337 You tell them, Viconia. |
| 52338 I will speak for myself, Viconia. They will be made to listen, even if I am male. |
| 52339 Greetings, fellow male. I am Szordrin, manager of the fighting pit. Here the courageous battle enslaved beasts for the glory of Lolth... and our entertainment. |
| 52340 There is nothing to be said. No one passes without just cause. Return to the city. |
| 52341 You seem a hardy type. There are several dread beasts that have been captured and await your deathblow, if you dare. |
| 52342 Come now, we should help each other. Perhaps I could pad your wage a bit? |
| 52343 Then we will have to fight! You will yield the passage to me! |
| 52344 Viconia, what should we do? |
| 52345 You are a Nasadran, yes? Recently arrived? I have heard of you. There are many here who would desire to see if you fight as well as they say. |
| 52346 Of course, if you are pale and cowardly, you need not make the attempt. The Spider Queen, however, respects only those who are strong. |
| 52347 What, exactly, is involved in this pit fight? |
| 52348 What sort of "beasts" would I be fighting? |
| 52349 Very well... I'll fight in your pit, Szordrin. |
| 52350 No, I don't have time for this. |
| 52351 No, I don't have time for this. |
| 52352 It is urgent that we pass! An elven attack is planned against our forces! |
| 52353 You wish to bribe me? You would dare dishonor my position with the taint of gold? |
| 52354 Your choice is one of two: Attempt a payment of some sort, or simply fight them. I doubt our words will influence them at all. |
| 52355 It is a simple matter, <MALEFEMALE>. I open the door for a short time. You enter before I close it. Once inside, I have the beast pushed in to fight you. |
| 52356 If you win, you come out and collect 250 gp as a reward... and the satisfaction of a glorious battle. You lose... the slave feasts on your remains. Very simple. |
| 52357 What sort of "beasts" would I be fighting? |
| 52358 Very well... I'll fight in your pit, Szordrin. |
| 52359 What? That cannot be true! We would have been apprised of the situation by our commanders! |
| 52360 No, I don't have time for this. |
| 52361 No, I don't have time for this. |
| 52362 We capture our foes in skirmishes in the dark tunnels, <MALEFEMALE>. Shark-fiends, devourers, eye tyrants... it depends on who survives longest, really. |
| 52363 Your words ring of lies. You have not the guile to maintain your falsehood! You will fall here! |
| 52364 How does the pit fight work, then? |
| 52365 Light take you, devil! You will not survive here today! |
| 52366 Very well... I'll fight in your pit, Szordrin. |
| 52367 By the gods, woman! What is that thing? |
| 52368 It is a donation to your house, one that will build future alliances beyond these petty dealings. |
| 52369 What, you are above taking a little gold? |
| 52370 Your master shall fall before the might of the Shadow Thieves! |
| 52371 Calm yourself. 'Tis but a construct, a golem. Irenicus is powerful. There is no doubt of that. |
| 52372 This is tedious. Let's just kill them! |
| 52373 Then we will offer a significant increase over what wage they might earn. |
| 52374 Let's try something different. We must pass! An elven attack is planned against our forces! |
| 52375 The wizard cannot hide forever. Here, perhaps we can learn something of Irenicus from the golem. |
| 52376 There is something here... just let me Hold! It moves! |
| 52377 It is a donation for the honor of your House! Do not think of it otherwise. We would not dream of causing you grief. It is a tribute towards future alliances. |
| 52378 The matron mothers have more important things to do than worry about the dregs she left guarding the door! Stand aside, maleâ€â€we must be allowed to pass! |
| 52379 Hmm... You maintain this as fact? Speak your word again, and I shall see if I believe. May you die by the webs of Lolth if you speak untrue. |
| 52380 No, I don't have time for this. |
| 52381 Where is your master, fiend? We seek Irenicus. Give us the upstart, and you shall survive! |
| 52382 No, I don't have time for this. |
| 52383 There's no cause to doubt me. Take the side of caution, and let us join the slaughter. |
| 52384 You delay when there's no cause to doubt. Let us go join the slaughter. |
| 52385 Perhaps I should return and report your delay. The matrons will appreciate your observance of duty while the bodies of our people fall to elves above! |
| 52386 It is gratifying to see such steel in you, <MALEFEMALE>. You shall first battle an umber hulk, a creature of not inconsiderable size. It is... angry. |
| 52387 Already am I dead, thief. Join me in darkness... |
| 52388 You are right, of course. I shouldn't have said such a thing. |
| 52389 Enough! Kill this creature and raze the guild. Irenicus shall learn what it is to betray the Shadow Thieves! |
| 52390 But we are in dire times! We must get through! There... is going to be an attack! |
| 52391 You change your story as you see fit! There is no truth to any of this! You will be struck down as the liars you are! |
| 52392 But you did, and now you pretend like it did not happen? There is something very wrong here. I shall err on the side of caution! |
| 52393 That sounds better, I think. Fine, I shall take what you offer and place it towards the future of my House. That is, if it is sufficient to honor it properly. |
| 52394 Perhaps I should also offer some coin as an incentive? |
| 52395 I shall open the gate for you now. Go in quickly. If you survive, come and speak to me once you are done for your reward. Go, then! For Mother Lolth! |
| 52396 You have made your point. Pass then, but do not return this way or I will correct my generosity. |
| 52397 Very well, though I will not greet your return so generously. Do not come back this way. |
| 52398 As you wish, female. May the Spider Queen smile on your path and be merciless with your enemies. |
| 52399 The House of a door guard? 500 gold will be enough, I think. |
| 52400 I offer what I can and I hope it does please. 1,000 gold. |
| 52401 You will have what I can afford. 1,000 gold. |
| 52402 Then you are a pathetic excuse for a drow, male. Go and quiver in a corner and pray to the Spider Queen that she gift you with a proper backbone one day. |
| 52403 You disgrace your dishonorable offer by making it laughable. No, I think you will die here. |
| 52404 5,000 gold for your blessings on my journey. |
| 52405 I cannot afford enough to honor your House, but I must go bolster our troops. |
| 52406 So the honor of your House has a value in gold? Perhaps I should tell the matron mothers about the price of your respect. |
| 52407 That will be sufficient. Go, but do not return this way or I shall correct my generosity. |
| 52408 Greetings once again. Have you changed your mind about showing your skills, <MALEFEMALE>? We have not had a worthy drow in some time in here. |
| 52409 Tell me what's involved in the pit fighting. |
| 52410 Exactly what would I be fighting? |
| 52411 Yes... I'll fight in your pit, Szordrin. |
| 52412 No, I haven't changed my mind. |
| 52413 Then why bother me? I am here to care for the pits, not to answer questions. There are plenty of drow here full of black mead to do that for you. |
| 52414 I see that the umber hulk has not been defeated. Would you like me to open up the gate for you again? Give you another opportunity for glory, <MALEFEMALE>? |
| 52415 Sure. Open the gate and let me in. |
| 52416 What do I get for doing this again? |
| 52417 No, I'm not interested. |
| 52418 Very well! I shall alert the tavern that a glorious battle is about to begin! Prepare yourself, <MALEFEMALE>... the gate will only open a short time. |
| 52419 Hmph. Speak to me after the battle, and I shall award you 250 gp for entertaining the patrons. Of course, it is the Demon Queen you truly hope to impress. |
| 52420 Very well... I'll fight in your pit. |
| 52421 Actually, I'm not interested at the moment. |
| 52422 No, I'm not interested. |
| 52423 As you wish, female. I cannot fault you for refusing to lower yourself by entertaining us petty males. Lolth's blessing on you. |
| 52424 Cowardly grub. Fine, fine... go and drink your black mead, if that's all you're worth. |
| 52425 Actually, I'm not interested at the moment. |
| 52426 Ahhh, the glory is yours, <MALEFEMALE>! I am sure the Queen of the Demonweb Pits smiles upon you! An umber hulk is no mean opponent! |
| 52427 Here is the reward. Now... should you wish to continue to show your prowess, there is another slave who awaits bloodletting at your hands, <MALEFEMALE>... |
| 52428 A dreaded nabassu of the lower planes... captured by the Handmaidens for crossing a matron mother and sent to fight in the pits. What say you, <MALEFEMALE>? |
| 52429 Yes, I will fight the nabassu in your pit. |
| 52430 Not right now. Perhaps another time. |
| 52431 As you desire, <MALEFEMALE>. Already the patrons are impressed with your skills... we look forward to another display soon. Do come again. |
| 52432 Shall I open the gate for you once more? The nabassu awaits the sight of your flesh... and somehow, I am sure it laughs at you, <MALEFEMALE>. |
| 52433 Yes. Open the gate, Szordrin. |
| 52434 No, I'm not interested. |
| 52435 No, I'm not interested. |
| 52436 You have defeated the nabassu? Praise to you, <MALEFEMALE>! We were very entertained by your struggle... here is 500 gp for your display. |
| 52437 Welcome. I trust that you have come to my dueling arena because you are tired of seeing pitiful monsters put to death in the name of sport. |
| 52438 Dare you continue? There is a prince amongst the shark-fiends... the ones called "sahuagin." A strong one captured with difficulty during a raid on their city. |
| 52439 It is a strong fighter, this one... but then so are you. Perhaps you will succeed where others have failed. What do you say, <MALEFEMALE>? |
| 52440 I'll do it. Open up the gate, Szordrin. |
| 52441 No, not right now. Perhaps another time. |
| 52442 Ah, I see, I see. You need rest to recover from your wounds, perhaps? Understandable. We look forward to further displays of your prowess another time. |
| 52443 Have you decided to fight the shark-fiend, <MALEFEMALE>? We have been entertained greatly by your struggles so far; it would be a shame to have them cease. |
| 52444 Yes, I'll fight it. Open up the gate, Szordrin. |
| 52445 No, I'm not interested right now. |
| 52446 No, I'm not interested right now. |
| 52447 The shark-fiend is defeated! The Spider Queen smiles on you this day! Many weak drow were slaughtered by the beast... it is good to see it put in its place! |
| 52448 You have proven yourself amongst us, <MALEFEMALE>. For such a show, I give you 750 gp. Take it and know you are worthy of Lolth's favor. |
| 52449 There is no need to continue. The, ah... the only slave left is one nobody has been able to defeat. It would be a waste to see you killed by such, <MALEFEMALE>. |
| 52450 A well-respected <MALEFEMALE> such as yourself will know that the only opponent worthy of the drow is another drow. I provide the opportunity. |
| 52451 The current match is just beginning. It will be an inspiring display of skill on the part of our most illustrious competitor. |
| 52452 What slave is that? What type of creature? |
| 52453 I will be on my way, then. |
| 52454 Of course, no one could fault you for such a decision. Walk with pride, <MALEFEMALE>... you have fought well. |
| 52455 It is... an eye tyrant, <MALEFEMALE>, nemesis of the Underdark. Captured four years ago by a party of vengeful drow, and it has never been defeated in the pits. |
| 52456 It has many deadly powers. Only the bravest warriors have dared it, and have died. There is no need to fight, <MALEFEMALE>... unless you wish to... |
| 52457 I'll fight it, Szordrin. Open up the gate. |
| 52458 I see. Perhaps another time, then. |
| 52459 You are sure? Excellent! ATTENTION ALL: A most BRAVE drow <MALEFEMALE> has agreed to take on the most horrid of our battle slaves! The fearsome EYE TYRANT! |
| 52460 I shall open up the gate for you... move quickly, as I will not keep them open long. Lolth's favor to you, <MALEFEMALE>! |
| 52461 Greetings, potent one. You... you have not decided to take on the last of our battle slaves, have you? The Spider Queen would be most impressed if you did! |
| 52462 What sort of creature would I be facing? |
| 52463 Yes, I'll fight it. Open the gates. |
| 52464 No, I don't think so. |
| 52465 You... you have killed the eye tyrant? Truly you are worthy of any lauds Mother Lolth might lay down upon you! Here... 1,000 gp as a reward for the sight! |
| 52466 I see now why the House Despana shows you such attentions. Despite being Nasadran, a <MALEFEMALE> of your potency would be a worthy addition to any House! |
| 52467 Unfortunately, there are no other battle slaves in my pen... none a worthy foe for you. Perhaps if you return at another time. I'll see what I can collect, yes? |
| 52468 Fine. Tell me what you know of House Despana, then. |
| 52469 Do you know anything about dragons in the area? |
| 52470 I've heard the drow army here is "busy." Any idea what they're doing? |
| 52471 Perhaps you can enter the pit, and I'll fight you instead. |
| 52472 Fine. I'll be on my way, then. |
| 52473 Despana? A potent House, led by Matron Mother Ardulace. Some say it shall one day be the most powerful in Ust Natha... but Mother Lolth can be fickle. |
| 52474 It is said the matron mother has shown an interest in refugees from Ched Nasad, which I can only presume means you. Your battle prowess must be the reason. |
| 52475 Do you know anything about dragons in the area? |
| 52476 I've heard the drow army here is "busy." Any idea what they're doing? |
| 52477 Perhaps you can enter the pit, and I'll fight you instead. |
| 52478 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 52479 Rumors of dragonkind come and go. Some even say the matrons have made trade with the dreaded shadow dragons of the nether regions. |
| 52480 The only one we know for sure of here is the fearsome silver beast that hunts the drow parties that even go near the ancient passages of our first descent. |
| 52481 I know little enough of it. Perhaps one of the storytellers here might be able to inform you better... if you are interested enough, that is. |
| 52482 Tell me what you know of House Despana, then. |
| 52483 I've heard the drow army here is "busy." Any idea what they're doing? |
| 52484 Perhaps you can enter the pit, and I'll fight you instead. |
| 52485 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 52486 There are whispers of a great bloodletting planned upon our hated betrayers of the surface world... or perhaps war is to be made on the devourers. |
| 52487 Regardless, you are correct... the matron mothers are hoarding warriors and mages. Until they say what they are doing, however, no one will truly know. |
| 52488 Tell me what you know of House Despana, then. |
| 52489 Do you know anything about dragons in the area? |
| 52490 Perhaps you can enter the pit, and I'll fight you instead. |
| 52491 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 52492 Er... I am no match for your skills, <MALEFEMALE>. If you are so desperate for blood, I will go to the pens and see if there is anything more... suited for you. |
| 52493 As you desire, <MALEFEMALE>. May the Mother Lolth smile upon your path. |
| 52494 P-please... no more! *groan* I beg of you! I... I have done nothing to offend y-you, h-have I? |
| 52495 I... I'll be a b-b-better slave! Really, I will! J-just... d-don't do this! |
| 52496 No! No! I d-don't want to d-die! Don't p-press the button! |
| 52497 *groan* Ooohhhh... oooohhh, nooo, no... |
| 52498 I don't have an interest in this, thank you. |
| 52499 Very well, let me see this duel of yours. |
| 52500 You are not placing our warriors against prisoners, are you? I hardly call that a battle. |
| 52501 Yes, show me this duel. Perhaps I'll take my chances with the winner. |
| 52502 Shapeshift: Greater Werewolf |
| 52503 Nothing like that. Such a thing would not be worthy of the combatants we wish to show. Observe, and you will see the quality of both sides. |
| 52504 Excellent, I will signal the combatants and have them commence their efforts. It will be a grand show. |
| 52505 Excuse me, please, honored female... I did not mean to get underfoot. Please do not send me to be tortured; I shall attempt to do better. |
| 52506 Aaah! Is there... is there something wrong with the food, honored female? We are... we are cooking exactly according to the requests; please believe me! |
| 52507 I am trying to cook the evening meals as quickly as possible, honored female. Please do not allow me to disturb you as I work. |
| 52508 Get out of my way, blast you! I am attempting to do work here. Can you not see that? |
| 52509 If you do not stop bothering me, you will become part of the evening's main course! I'll not suffer lashes from the tentacle rod because of you! |
| 52510 Begone! Get out of my kitchen! I'll have none of your interference here, male! |
| 52511 Greetings to you, <MALEFEMALE>. You are one who is recently from Ched Nasad, correct? I have heard of you. |
| 52512 If I might have everyone's attention! If I may, with the permissions of our most distinguished females and the interest of our most hardy males, might I draw your attentions to the pit at the fore? |
| 52513 We drow gather to tell tales of our conquests on the surface. Or dark stories of our past. It is tradition in Ust Natha; this place that was the first. |
| 52514 Merinid |
| 52515 Merinid |
| 52516 Baragh |
| 52517 Baragh |
| 52518 Tathlyn |
| 52519 The pride of the males of the First House, master of blades Lasaonar, is here to prove his ability to us all. He has accepted an... unusual challenge. |
| 52520 Tathlyn |
| 52521 Nym Khalazza |
| 52522 Nym Khalazza |
| 52523 If you wish an honest answer, <MALEFEMALE>, your best course would be to approach Nym Khalazza there. He is the eldest of this group and the most prone to talk. |
| 52524 Can I ask you some questions? |
| 52525 What do you mean "the first"? |
| 52526 Do you have any tales to tell? |
| 52527 I'll be on my way. |
| 52528 You mentioned "the first." What did you mean by that? |
| 52529 Four members of the Male Fighters' Society have answered a slanderous comment with demands for blood. Lasaonar has shown his contempt by facing them all at once! |
| 52530 Watch now, and all concerned will place their lives in the pit, and their fates in their blades! As always, the victor may lay claim to all of the vanquished's equipment. |
| 52531 The stale stench of death assails your nostrils. Tombs line this hall, and you hear the sound of shuffling within them. |
| 52532 Do you have any tales to tell, then? |
| 52533 I'll go see him, then. |
| 52534 Hmph. You do not know your lore very well if you do not understand what I speak of, <MALEFEMALE>. Surely you know *something* of our history, no? |
| 52535 Long ago, when our despised cousins of the surface betrayed our kind and banished us to the depths, it was near this very place that the drow first descended. |
| 52536 A terrible legion, we encountered implacable foes at every turn through the Underdark. It was in this place that we first gathered together to protect ourselves. |
| 52537 Ust Natha means "the first"... the first place we gathered. The first place we wrested our birthright of power back from the sentence of our hated cousins. |
| 52538 It is from Ust Natha that we invaded the cities of the stout folk and established the first, greatest kingdom of Telantiwar in wondrous Bhaerynden. |
| 52539 Bhaerynden and Telantiwar both are gone now, but Ust Natha remains. A reminder of the debt of blood we owe to our hated surface brethren. |
| 52540 The tombs are eerily silent, yet you have the feeling of being watched. Best be careful. Traps and dangers abound within these tombs. Every step could be your last. |
| 52541 So Ust Natha is close to the surface, then? |
| 52542 Can I ask you some questions, perhaps? |
| 52543 Do you have any other tales to tell? |
| 52544 I'll be on my way. |
| 52545 Not close, but closest. The passage that winds to the surface is very near here. It is guarded, however, by the great silver beast and closed to us. |
| 52546 Guarded? What would happen, say, if the passage were no longer guarded? |
| 52547 There are many other wards against us, I believe... but the silver beast is the greatest amongst them. |
| 52548 If it were no longer guarding the passage, I have little doubt we would overcome the other wards and pay our hated kindred a long-overdue visit. |
| 52549 Can I ask you some questions, perhaps? |
| 52550 Do you have any other tales to tell? |
| 52551 I'll be on my way. |
| 52552 I have few accomplishments yet, <MALEFEMALE>. I completed the Blooding but a year ago, when I made a long voyage to the surface with two brothers. |
| 52553 It is a blinding and foul place, the surface... my brothers and I found one of the surface elves, however. A female, pale and delightful to look upon. |
| 52554 She was almost too easily slaughtered. We were hunted by elven patrols, and my brothers were murdered, but I carried the head of the female back to the Underdark. |
| 52555 It was considered a fine trophy for a Blooding. My matron was pleased, and has sponsored my entry into the Male Fighters' Society next year. |
| 52556 Any other tales you could tell me? |
| 52557 Can I ask you some questions, perhaps? |
| 52558 You mentioned "the first" earlier. What did you mean by that? |
| 52559 I'll be going, then. |
| 52560 No, not really. I came here more to hear the others speak myself. |
| 52561 You'll do as you wish, I suppose. |
| 52562 The battle will go on regardless. Watch if you like, but do not obstruct the view of the real audience. |
| 52563 Ah. Is there something that I can help you with, <MALEFEMALE>? |
| 52564 Could I ask you a question or two? |
| 52565 You mentioned "the first" before... what did you mean by that? |
| 52566 Do you any tales of your own to tell? |
| 52567 No, I'll be going. |
| 52568 I am victorious! They were worms, as I said! Their house is weak, their blades dull and listless! |
| 52569 You were obviously their superior in both age and skill. Do you gloat over children? |
| 52570 A fine battle, though I'll wager there are those that could beat you. |
| 52571 Well done. Obviously you are a competent warrior... for a male. |
| 52572 Truly a fine display. Have you ever met your match? |
| 52573 Greetings to you, O potent <MALEFEMALE>. Stay for a time, if you wish... The group of us here are sharing exploits and tales of the past. Something I doubt you Nasadrans have time for, eh? |
| 52574 What? Who slanders me?! Step into the pit if you think yourself better than I! |
| 52575 Are there now? And would you be one of them? Step up and prove your claim! I am ready for you! |
| 52576 I see. You flatter me with your insults. I will survive your own efforts if you wish to test them. The same goes for anyone else in this place! |
| 52577 If I had, I would be dead. None have prevailed against me, and none will. Does anyone here stand to face me? Does anyone dare? |
| 52578 I believe there has been a challenge. Do you accept? I will allow time to prepare if need be. We would want both sides at their best. |
| 52579 Be forewarned that this will be a one-on-one affair. I will allow no more lopsided slaughters. |
| 52580 I have a tale for you, if you're interested. Something my house-mother once told me, in fact. If you're of a mind, that is... |
| 52581 You there! I know you to be a priest of Helm. Your god calls upon you, and you must answer. |
| 52582 I, ah, Veldrin, am ready. Take me into the dueling pit. |
| 52583 Drow Warrior |
| 52584 Not at this time, but I will return when ready. |
| 52585 Sure, I'd like to hear it. |
| 52586 I've actually some questions... |
| 52587 Maybe some other time. |
| 52588 I'm not in the mood to be barraged by questions by a newcomer to the city. You are lucky you aren't in the slave pens, if you ask me. Go bother Nym, if you must anyone. |
| 52589 Very well. Return when you are ready. |
| 52590 As you wish! Attention! We are to have another challenge immediately! Veldrin will now enter the arena and face Lasaonar. |
| 52591 Fine, tell me your story then. |
| 52592 I'll talk to him, then. |
| 52593 Then begone. |
| 52594 Excellent! Hah! My tale... my tale begins long ago, when our people first descended into the great depths and dark caverns. During a day when our homes were not carved out of stone and clay. |
| 52595 Drow homes were made of twigs and black grasses, grass that many had brought with them into the Underdark. There were few homes, of course, but the largest belonged to the first matriarch. |
| 52596 The matriarch led the early hordes of drow, helping them survive in hostile lands. She was powerful, potent, and cunning... a great boon to her people, who admired her greatly. |
| 52597 To honor her, a group of drow set upon the shark-fiends and stole the stone throne of their king, to secretly present to the matriarch as a trophy. They stowed it in the grass rafters of her hall. |
| 52598 We need a vassal to carry our wrath! You there! As a priest of Talos, you shall be the instrument of vengeance for the Stormlord! |
| 52599 The matriarch arrived in her hall, and the drow warriors went to retrieve the throne, but much to their horror, its weight caused it to fall through the grass rafters and crush the matriarch below. |
| 52600 It is a sad, sad tale of our early travails in this dark place... and it holds a moral as well. Can you think of the moral, <MALEFEMALE>? |
| 52601 Hah! Haha! The moral, of course, is "don't stow thrones in grass houses"! |
| 52602 Yes! Yes! That's it exactly! |
| 52603 Bah! The Spider Queen has no sense of humor! Now, Vhaeraun, on the other hand... |
| 52604 The Masked Lord does not walk alone, fools! I'll be back! |
| 52605 Hmm. Don't stow thrones in grass houses? |
| 52606 You there. You are a priest of Lathander. The Morninglord has need of your services for a time. |
| 52607 Boo knows! Do not stow thrones in grass houses! |
| 52608 'Tis a simple moral, berk. "Do not stow thrones in grass houses." Aye? Does the sparrow speak it true? |
| 52609 I'm sure I have no idea. |
| 52610 Imbecile! How dare you tell such a moronic lie about the history of our people! Lolth will sentence you to an eternity of poisoned agony for such madness! |
| 52611 You dare?! I shall kill you in the name of the Mother of All Drow, fool! He is mine... no one interfere! |
| 52612 Hm. You wander back to me? Perhaps you have come to hear my tale after all? |
| 52613 Fine, let's hear it. |
| 52614 Actually, I wonder if I could ask you about something else? |
| 52615 No, not really. |
| 52616 I see you have returned. Are you ready to enter the arena and face Lasaonar? |
| 52617 You may say that Veldrin shall face him one-on-one. |
| 52618 No. I am not ready yet. |
| 52619 Are there no other combatants that I might face? |
| 52620 Not until Lasaonar has been satisfied. He refuses to exit the pit until his abilities are proven. |
| 52621 Tell him that Veldrin shall face him one-on-one. |
| 52622 I may yet challenge him, but I am not ready at the moment. |
| 52623 Don't bother me now. Watch the battle. |
| 52624 <PLAYER2> shall face him now. |
| 52625 <PLAYER3> shall face him now. |
| 52626 <PLAYER4> shall face him now. |
| 52627 <PLAYER5> shall face him now. |
| 52628 <PLAYER6> shall face him now. |
| 52629 <PLAYER2> shall face him now. |
| 52630 <PLAYER3> shall face him now. |
| 52631 <PLAYER4> shall face him now. |
| 52632 <PLAYER5> shall face him now. |
| 52633 <PLAYER6> shall face him now. |
| 52634 We are telling tales, <MALEFEMALE>, of our feats and history. It is an old custom of Ust Natha... something you would be unfamiliar with, Nasadran. |
| 52635 Tell me something of Ust Natha's history, then. |
| 52636 Tell me about your own feats, then. |
| 52637 Shapeshift: Werewolf |
| 52638 As you wish! Attention! We are to have another challenge immediately! <PLAYER2> will now enter the arena and face Lasaonar. |
| 52639 As you wish! Attention! We are to have another challenge immediately! <PLAYER3> will now enter the arena and face Lasaonar. |
| 52640 As you wish! Attention! We are to have another challenge immediately! <PLAYER4> will now enter the arena and face Lasaonar. |
| 52641 As you wish! Attention! We are to have another challenge immediately! <PLAYER5> will now enter the arena and face Lasaonar. |
| 52642 Perhaps you could answer some questions for me. |
| 52643 I'll go, then. |
| 52644 Something of the city's history, eh? Yes, I suppose you would know nothing of it, ignorant lout. Do you even know of the part Ust Natha played in the Scattering? |
| 52645 The Scattering? |
| 52646 Bah! Are you completely devoid of sense?! Your house-mother should be flayed alive for her neglect of your instruction! |
| 52647 When the magical battles caused the collapse of Bhaerynden, the great cavern once held by the dwarves, most drow were crushed. Only the favored survived. |
| 52648 As you wish! Attention! We are to have another challenge immediately! <PLAYER6> will now enter the arena and face Lasaonar. |
| 52649 Groups of drow fled the rubble in every direction, seeking new holds to establish their power, set upon by our enemies. *That* was the Scattering, fool. |
| 52650 <PLAYER2> shall face him now. |
| 52651 <PLAYER3> shall face him now. |
| 52652 <PLAYER4> shall face him now. |
| 52653 <PLAYER5> shall face him now. |
| 52654 <PLAYER6> shall face him now. |
| 52655 Ust Natha was untouched by the great war, and hordes of drow came to our walls for protection. Devourers and eye tyrants followed, seeking to eradicate them. |
| 52656 For one century, our enemies waged constant war upon us. The walls of Ust Natha held, however... and we pushed our enemies back in a merciless victory. |
| 52657 Many of the drow then left Ust Natha to find larger living spaces, more resources to plunder... establishing your beloved Ched Nasad, amongst other places. |
| 52658 There would be no Ched Nasad were it not for the walls of Ust Natha. *That* is the part Ust Natha played in the Scattering. Do not forget it. |
| 52659 What about your own feats? |
| 52660 Can I ask you about something? |
| 52661 I'll be going. |
| 52662 The battle is over, and the drow of greater skill has been decided. Lasaonar stands undefeated. Is there another who would try their skill against him once he is healed? |
| 52663 HOLD! I... |
| 52664 I yield. You have proven the better combatant this day. I... I yield the victory. My sword is yours; I no longer deserve it. |
| 52665 I have slaughtered many in my time, <MALEFEMALE>, so do not ask such a question as if I have not. I am as battle-hardened as any in the fighter societies. |
| 52666 I took part in a glorious Running one hundred years ago, when a cavern leading to the surface was found. I helped raid the communities during the hunt. |
| 52667 Many pathetic humans fell to our blades in that Running, in memory of Ust Natha. I stumbled into a village of the subrace known as "halflings." |
| 52668 Drow Warrior |
| 52669 The diminutive worms scattered! I hunted them allâ€â€I have their tiny skulls to this day. The Running lasted a week before the humans marshaled their defenses. |
| 52670 The humans collapsed the tunnel, but one day we shall find another... and I pray to again be amongst the drow who will take part in the Running! |
| 52671 I... see. What about the city? What can you tell me of its history? |
| 52672 Can I ask you about something else? |
| 52673 No, I think we will cut our losses this day. |
| 52674 Yes, Veldrin will stand to fight him. |
| 52675 <PLAYER2> shall face him now. |
| 52676 <PLAYER3> shall face him now. |
| 52677 <PLAYER4> shall face him now. |
| 52678 <PLAYER5> shall face him now. |
| 52679 <PLAYER6> shall face him now. |
| 52680 I see. I'll... be going. |
| 52681 I'll tell my own tales as I wish, and I'll not be prompted by you. If you want to ask insipid questions, go bother someone else! |
| 52682 Tell me of the city's history, then. |
| 52683 Tell me of your feats, then. |
| 52684 I'll do that. |
| 52685 Yes, you do that. Go. |
| 52686 Heeeehhh... you are one seeking refuge from Ched Nasad, are you not, <MALEFEMALE>? I'll share none of my tales with the likes of you. |
| 52687 I have sawn the tentacles from the faces of devourers, pried the teeth from the mouths of human babes, and plunged daggers into the very eye of an eye tyrant... but these tales are worth too much to share with you. |
| 52688 Begone! Share your foul presence with another, <MALEFEMALE>. |
| 52689 The blasphemous fool! Now I must go explain this death to the Handmaidens! Bah! A foul worshipper of Vhaeraun... here! |
| 52690 He is mine! Away with you! Interfere and I shall have you flayed, <MALEFEMALE>! |
| 52691 Hmm... I do not recognize you. For such a strong <MALEFEMALE> to come out of nowhere is unusual. |
| 52692 Not strong so much as Lasaonar was weak. I defeated his bravado easily. |
| 52693 I thank you. I take great pride in my ability. |
| 52694 It is none of your concern, unless you bring the favor of your House with your words. |
| 52695 I see. Then you will not object to facing me next. Lasaonar is my favorite male, and his honor is of value to the First House. |
| 52696 Speak with Sondal when you are ready to face me. You have a debt of honor to pay. |
| 52697 I can see that. You will have ample opportunity to test it as well. Lasaonar is my favorite male, and his honor is of value to the First House. |
| 52698 Ahh! I didn't see you approach. My failing eyes shall net me a blade in my back soon enough, I swear it. I should be at home, dying properly like an old male drow, rather than here listening to tales so often. |
| 52699 The favor of my house, the First House, is already given to someone. You may know him. Lasaonar, my favorite male. |
| 52700 Can I ask you some questions? |
| 52701 Do you have any tales of your own? |
| 52702 I'll be on my way. |
| 52703 I have many tales of my past, but I have told them so often I do not care to repeat my words. Let the younger drow boast and beat their chests as they wish. |
| 52704 Can I ask you some questions, then? |
| 52705 I'll be on my way. |
| 52706 Yes, yes, as you wish. |
| 52707 You have been challenged to fight Lasaonar's better. She has the right to call for such an action. |
| 52708 Go ahead and ask if you need to know something. I suppose I am old enough that I can sit still and answer a query or two. |
| 52709 You may again choose who shall answer the challenge. Are you ready to do so now? |
| 52710 Tell me of Lolth. |
| 52711 Tell me of House Despana. |
| 52712 Do you know anything of Phaere or Solaufein? |
| 52713 Do you know anything of dragons in the area? |
| 52714 I'll be going now. |
| 52715 Yes. Veldrin stands ready. |
| 52716 Ahhhh, I'll not be one to talk overmuch of the Spider Queen. She is a proud one, Lolth is, and she rules her cities with a careful eye. If you've any sense, you'll never mention any of the... other... gods. |
| 52717 Other gods? |
| 52718 <PLAYER2> will answer the challenge. |
| 52719 <PLAYER3> will answer the challenge. |
| 52720 <PLAYER4> will answer the challenge. |
| 52721 <PLAYER5> will answer the challenge. |
| 52722 <PLAYER6> will answer the challenge. |
| 52723 I am not ready yet. I will return shortly. |
| 52724 Oh, yes. Vhaeraun, the thief god, and Ghaunadaur, the slime god of the caverns, are two of her most implacable foes. And then, of course, there is Eilistraee... |
| 52725 The Dark Maiden is a good deity of our kind, if such a thing exists. She seeks to turn us from our path of darkness, you see. Hah! But such gods hold little truck with most of the drow. Lolth is paramount. |
| 52726 Then I will answer that challenge. |
| 52727 Is there another combatant willing to risk their life against me? |
| 52728 The Spider Queen is a jealous goddess, reserving all worship for herself. Most drow will not even breathe the names of the others for fear of retribution. Myself, I am old enough to care little any longer. |
| 52729 If you are willing, I have a mage that wishes to further his status in the pit. If you have a mage of your own, you may face him. |
| 52730 But surely you know all of this. I am not saying anything that any drow would not know, yes? Overlook my long-windedness, if you can. |
| 52731 I would rather have a different opponent. |
| 52732 Again I would prefer a different opponent. |
| 52733 I would still prefer a different opponent. |
| 52734 A strong House, branches of which you'll find in cities other than simply Ust Natha. Many of the great families have their beginnings here in the first city, yes? |
| 52735 Despana is high in Lolth's favor, and many say that it schemes to place itself above all others here. I know little of such plans, however. |
| 52736 Hmm? Oh, yes... the daughter of House Despana and the commander of the Male Fighters' Society. Oh, yes indeed... there is a history there if you have not heard it from elsewhere. |
| 52737 It is said that the daughter Phaere held this Solaufein in high esteem once. And not merely as a personal male, as Lolth decrees... she did not use him and cast him off as is a female's wont. |
| 52738 It is said that Phaere held feelings for the commander that were most un-drow-like indeed. The matron mother of the Despana was greatly displeased by her daughter's weakness. |
| 52739 What was done then, who knows? It is obvious they hold no regard for each other now. Indeed, the commander would be a drider were it not for his position and favor in another House of great rank. |
| 52740 Hm. I know of only one dragon that inhabits the near caverns of the Underdark, and that is the ancient silver beast, Adalon... she who was sent by our surface cousins to guard the old passages. |
| 52741 Tell him that Veldrin stands ready. |
| 52742 <PLAYER2> stands ready to face him. |
| 52743 <PLAYER3> stands ready to face him. |
| 52744 <PLAYER4> stands ready to face him. |
| 52745 <PLAYER5> stands ready to face him. |
| 52746 <PLAYER6> stands ready to face him. |
| 52747 I have no mage willing to take up that challenge. |
| 52748 It is said that the silver dragon once had a mate, long ago... a mate who was captured by our people when we were still dwellers of the southern reaches. The heart of her mate was ripped from its body whole, as I hear. |
| 52749 The queen of the drow used its heart in a ceremony of great darkness, one that angered an old, pale god of the surface elves... I know not which one. Does it matter? |
| 52750 When we were driven beneath the surface, sentenced by our fiendish cousins, their god made a pact with Adalon. In return for her vow to guard the old passages to the surface, he would give her what she desired most. |
| 52751 Then we have nothing further to say about the matter. Return when you are ready. |
| 52752 At a time of her choosing, when she had grown old, Adalon could call on the god and he would grant her children... eggs that would be made real by the soul of her lost dragon love. |
| 52753 Or so the story goes. I hold little truck with it myself... but then I would never venture into those old passages just in case the tales of her presence are true. |
| 52754 Yes, that one... what can you tell me about her? |
| 52755 Is there any news more recent? Perhaps you've heard of her eggs? |
| 52756 Well... I have heard the passages to the surface are open once more. At least the matron mothers certainly believe so, gathering their armies as they are. Perhaps Adalon is dead; I know not. |
| 52757 Veldrin, in you go. Attention! A wizard's duel is next in the pit! Mage versus mage! |
| 52758 As you wish, <MALEFEMALE>. On your way, then. |
| 52759 Is there something in particular you need, <MALEFEMALE>? A mug of black mead, perhaps? Or have you found a partner to retire to the lust chambers with? |
| 52760 <PLAYER2>, into the pit. Attention all! A wizard's duel is next! Mage versus mage! |
| 52761 <PLAYER3>, into the pit. Attention all! A wizard's duel is next! Mage versus mage! |
| 52762 <PLAYER4>, into the pit. Attention all! A wizard's duel is next! Mage versus mage! |
| 52763 <PLAYER5>, into the pit. Attention all! A wizard's duel is next! Mage versus mage! |
| 52764 <PLAYER6>, into the pit. Attention all! A wizard's duel is next! Mage versus mage! |
| 52765 I'd like to see what services you have. |
| 52766 Lust chambers? |
| 52767 Could I ask you some questions? |
| 52768 No, I'll be going. |
| 52769 As you say, beds and spirits, that is what I am here for. |
| 52770 Do not speak insipidly, fool. This is a place for drow recreation as any other is. Drow who find each other arousing may retire to the chambers for oiled massages or whatever else they please. |
| 52771 Veldrin now enters the pit to face Chalinthra! Attention all! |
| 52772 Pathetic. It would seem that your victory over Lasaonar was luck at best. That makes his defeat all the more disappointing. |
| 52773 Failing that, there are the pits for fighting and the slave explosion runes... for those whose stomachs are not too weak and pale. There are also many drow telling tales and stories here... a custom of the city. |
| 52774 But I am sure you do not need me to guide you about... you have eyes, as I can well see. Now... is there something else you need? |
| 52775 I'd like to see what services you have. |
| 52776 Fine. I have plenty of other things to do. |
| 52777 Could I ask you some questions? |
| 52778 No, I'll be going, then. |
| 52779 No, you may not. I am not here to answer questions, I am here to serve you. You have questions? Find the storytellers... perhaps they can humor you, <MALEFEMALE>. |
| 52780 What did you say about the "lust chambers"? |
| 52781 Let me see your services, then. |
| 52782 I'll go, then. |
| 52783 Sondal! Bar this fool's compatriots from the pit. They have lost and deserve no attempts to reclaim face. |
| 52784 <PLAYER2> faces Chalinthra! Attention all! |
| 52785 <PLAYER3> faces Chalinthra! Attention all! |
| 52786 <PLAYER4> faces Chalinthra! Attention all! |
| 52787 <PLAYER5> faces Chalinthra! Attention all! |
| 52788 <PLAYER6> faces Chalinthra! Attention all! |
| 52789 I am sorry, but the pit is closed to you. You have lost and are no longer welcome. Leave. |
| 52790 Fools! You should have fallen with your House! |
| 52791 Now the Mother Lolth has sentenced you to eternal torment in the Demonweb Pits! It is no less than you deserve! |
| 52792 No! Have mercy! |
| 52793 Free us! Let us out of here! |
| 52794 Free you?! You attempt to sneak into Ust Natha and pass yourselves off as drow of a true House?! You deserve worse than this! |
| 52795 No! We are loyal to the Spider Queen! We are her faithful servants! |
| 52796 You are weak and your House was weak, so she cares not. Your House has been wiped from history's eye, and soon so shall you be. |
| 52797 Bastard! Our House was strong! We were favored by Lolth, we were! We *should* have been triumphant! |
| 52798 Yes! Loyal, we were! House DeVir! House DeVir! |
| 52799 There is another mage that would like to try their skill against yours. It is your decision whether to accept. |
| 52800 People are beginning to speak of the skills your group displays in magic. Of course, that means others wish to challenge you. Do you have a mage ready to accept? |
| 52801 House DeVir is nothing. Ashes on the wind. As you too shall be. You should have died with your own matron, in your own city. Now... well, we shall see, and I shall find it most amusing. |
| 52802 No, darkness take *you*! Ha ha haahahaha... |
| 52803 Insolent bastards! This could just as easily be you, fools! Darkness take you both! |
| 52804 Veldrin stands ready to battle. |
| 52805 <PLAYER2> will accept the challenge. |
| 52806 <PLAYER3> will accept the challenge. |
| 52807 <PLAYER4> will accept the challenge. |
| 52808 <PLAYER5> will accept the challenge. |
| 52809 <PLAYER6> will accept the challenge. |
| 52810 Not at this time. |
| 52811 Veldrin stands ready to battle. |
| 52812 <PLAYER2> will accept the challenge. |
| 52813 <PLAYER3> will accept the challenge. |
| 52814 <PLAYER4> will accept the challenge. |
| 52815 <PLAYER5> will accept the challenge. |
| 52816 <PLAYER6> will accept the challenge. |
| 52817 I do not. I have nothing to prove today. |
| 52818 There are no other opponents. Come back when you wish to face Chalinthra. |
| 52819 If you cannot take pity and free us, then leave us to our misery, <MALEFEMALE>. |
| 52820 You have done very well. I did not think I would see such surprising victories from a new face. |
| 52821 Look upon us refugees of House DeVir, <MALEFEMALE>, and know that this too could one day be your fate if Lolth is unkind. |
| 52822 I thank you. Are there any more challenges? |
| 52823 Are there any more challenges for me? |
| 52824 I... I cannot await the punishment. Mother Lolth, I beg of you to forgive... |
| 52825 No! Malafein! No! |
| 52826 Away with you, lowly <MALEFEMALE>. You should be in the slave pen, if things were just... or in these cages with these fate-blackened fools. |
| 52827 Does anyone else wish to challenge me? |
| 52828 Is there anyone left that wishes to challenge me? |
| 52829 I'm done for now. I have nothing more to prove today. |
| 52830 Leave me be; I am not finished insulting these unfortunate scum. Hah! Sneaking into the city, masqueraded... as if such a thing would go undetected by the Handmaidens! Hah! |
| 52831 There are no other opponents. You have become quite the imposing figure. You are destined for good things if your matron takes notice. |
| 52832 Greetings, friend. Have you tried this amusement? You simply press the button here, and one of the foolish slaves who stands on that rune explodes! |
| 52833 Such a marvelous magic! Hahahaaaa-haha! Here... I shall show you how it works! Who is the unlucky slave to be today, hmmm? |
| 52834 See? Ha ha! I must find the clever mage who installed such a fabulous thing and reward him duly! Would you like to give it a try? It'll only cost you 100 gold. |
| 52835 Then the duel shall commence immediately! Attention all! Veldrin is about to enter a wizard's duel! Eyes to the pit! |
| 52836 Then the duel shall commence immediately! Attention all! <PLAYER2> is about to enter a wizard's duel! Eyes to the pit! |
| 52837 Then the duel shall commence immediately! Attention all! <PLAYER3> is about to enter a wizard's duel! Eyes to the pit! |
| 52838 Then the duel shall commence immediately! Attention all! <PLAYER4> is about to enter a wizard's duel! Eyes to the pit! |
| 52839 Then the duel shall commence immediately! Attention all! <PLAYER5> is about to enter a wizard's duel! Eyes to the pit! |
| 52840 Then the duel shall commence immediately! Attention all! <PLAYER6> is about to enter a wizard's duel! Eyes to the pit! |
| 52841 Veldrin to the pit! A duel of wizards will now commence. |
| 52842 <PLAYER2> to the pit! A duel of wizards will now commence! |
| 52843 <PLAYER3> to the pit! A duel of wizards will now commence! |
| 52844 <PLAYER4> to the pit! A duel of wizards will now commence! |
| 52845 <PLAYER5> to the pit! A duel of wizards will now commence! |
| 52846 <PLAYER6> to the pit! A duel of wizards will now commence! |
| 52847 You there! You have entered the halls of Lolth unbidden! There is but one fate for such a crime! Lolth be praised! |
| 52848 The sanctuary of Lolth is only open to those she wishes! Light will take all others! Light will take you! |
| 52849 Welcome to my store, <BROTHERSISTER>. You will find my blades true and sharp. None are better. |
| 52850 But remember well that I will not replace anything once it has been exposed to the surface world. Adamantine weapons and armor decay once outside of Lolth's dark embrace. |
| 52851 You would do well to listen closely to Commander Solaufein. He is in great favor with his House and leads the Male Fighters' Society with fervor. |
| 52852 I am a member of the Male Fighters' Society, training towards perfection and the favor of my House. |
| 52853 Hmph. Most of the stragglers from other cities who come here are made slaves to fight in the pits. Why you are so fortunate, <MALEFEMALE>, I do not know. |
| 52854 Let me see what you offer. |
| 52855 I need nothing at the moment. |
| 52856 Is there nothing that can stop such decay? |
| 52857 It is a far way to travel from Ched Nasad, with many of our most dire foes along the way. The fact that you were able to survive at all speaks well for you, <MALEFEMALE>. |
| 52858 Begone, <MALEFEMALE>! I know of your Nasadran origin, and I will have nothing to do with you! |
| 52859 Why you were let into Ust Natha, <MALEFEMALE>, I have no idea. You stink of the low passages... too bad the gray dwarves did not dispose of you first. |
| 52860 We are the superior fighters in this place, male. Do not bar our way, and do not address us when we do not wish it. |
| 52861 I lead the forces of my House in defense of Ust Natha when it is required, fool. You would be nothing but fodder in such a battle. |
| 52862 Many of our forces here are... elsewhere. It is not your place to ask questions, male. The matron mothers shall do as they will. |
| 52863 Greetings, female. Perhaps once your position is elevated, you will be accepted into the ranks of the Female Fighters' Society. Or perhaps you will be made a slave. As Lolth wills. |
| 52864 Most of the city's forces are elsewhere... in preparations for a great battle that will come soon. The matron mothers will lead us to true and bloody glory. |
| 52865 If you meet the Handmaidens of Lolth, female, lower your eyes and do not address them. You are nothing to them, just as you are nothing to a matron mother. |
| 52866 I am a graduate of Sorcere, and I have little to say to one such as you, <MALEFEMALE>. Master the Art as I have, and perhaps we might have cause to speak. |
| 52867 No, and of course we would wish it no other way. It would be a great insult for those of another race to carry drow weapons. |
| 52868 I see. Show me what you have in stock. |
| 52869 I don't need anything more at the moment. |
| 52870 Doesn't that make extended forays to the surface difficult? |
| 52871 You are a manner of mage, are you not, male? You should come to the Tower and join us rather than follow the beckonings of House Despana. |
| 52872 Ah. I sense that you have some amount of mastery of the Art, male. Strange, truly, that you were not sent our way... even if you hailed from Ched Nasad. |
| 52873 Very well. Lolth guard you. |
| 52874 You have not been sent to replace me, have you? Is your Art superior to mine? I will not have it! I am most favored by my House... I will not be replaced by you! |
| 52875 The drow do not make *extended* forays to the surface. There is nothing above that we need. We only occasionally raid for specific reasons. You should know this. |
| 52876 You... seem to have some glimmer of the Art in you... but you are female. I have never heard of a drow female mage. Obviously, I am mistaken... excuse me. |
| 52877 Of course. Now, let me see what you have in stock. |
| 52878 Certainly. Thank you, but I should get moving. |
| 52879 Enter, and welcome to my store. I offer potions of drow design, as well as the work of the finest enslaved alchemists. What have you need of, <BROTHERSISTER>? |
| 52880 I... I am doing my work, mistress... as quickly as I can! Excuse me... |
| 52881 I cannot help you, male... I am only a slave. Please... leave me be... |
| 52882 Please don't... don't hurt me! I've done nothing wrong! I... I will try to perform my tasks quicker... |
| 52883 I am but a slave, sir... please don't hurt me. I am only trying to do my job, as you command... |
| 52884 S-surfacers? Here?! Thank the gods! P-please... please... free me! Remove my chains and let me escape, I beg of you! |
| 52885 Th-thank you! Thank you! There... there are others here I must free! I've got to help them! There must be a way out! |
| 52886 Y-you... you will not help me? Damn your soul! Damn your soul to the Abyss! |
| 52887 Very well... your chains do not look strong. This will only take a second. |
| 52888 Forget it, I've more important things to do. |
| 52889 *Grrrrrowwwwrrr* I... *Grrr* ...work harder! No hurt! *Grrrrwwwwrrr* |
| 52890 *growl* *snap* I go! I work! I work! *snap* |
| 52891 *snap* No beat! Me slave! Work hard! *growl* *snap* |
| 52892 I am sorry, I've little time for talk... I have errands that I must perform for my House quickly, or I shall be punished severely. |
| 52893 There doesn't seem to be as many guards about as there once was... I've heard that the matron mothers are planning to war on the devourers. |
| 52894 My eldest son was killed by an eye tyrant more than a week ago. They say the beast has been roaming the great cavern for over a month. |
| 52895 Soon Lolth will destroy the other false gods of the drow... and she shall rule over us completely. The Spider Queen will command her dark host with a great might! |
| 52896 We normally don't harbor refugees from other cities... the matrons must have needed your battle skills quite badly. |
| 52897 Where did that child get off to? I must collect him for the day end meal, and he's already gone and disappeared. His mother shall be furious! |
| 52898 I work for one of the merchant houses here in Ust Natha. Lolth does not favor us as much as the nobles, but we are just as necessary for the drow's prosperity. |
| 52899 My daughter is about to come of age, but there are no passages to the surface for the Blooding. We intend to buy a surfacer from the merchants and allow her to hunt it in the caverns, I think. |
| 52900 I have much work to do before the caverns are darked for the eve, <MALEFEMALE>... leave me be. |
| 52901 My mate recently discovered a valuable vein of adamantite, which has brought much wealth to our merchant house. We are very pleased. |
| 52902 I was part of a delegation last year to trade with the kuo-toa. Such disgusting creatures. Were it not for their industriousness, I would gladly call on Lolth to kill them all. |
| 52903 Begone, <MALEFEMALE>. I am sure there are many more things for you to concern yourself with other than myself. |
| 52904 Leave me be, <MALEFEMALE>. I am here to enjoy the time my House has given me to rest... and I do not intend to spend it talking to you. |
| 52905 Away with you, <MALEFEMALE>, unless you'd care for a dagger in your gullet. |
| 52906 I am here for the black mead, not for the company. |
| 52907 Have you tried the game with the rune and the slaves? Most amusing... if messy. You should go and give it a try while there are still slaves to spare. |
| 52908 If you want to speak, why don't you talk to the storytellers? I am sure they would like nothing more than to speak with you. |
| 52909 Do not dare to address me, male! Look down upon the ground when I pass, and praise the Dark Mother of All Drow that you even possess your grovelling life! |
| 52910 Praise be to Lolth, the Queen of Spiders! |
| 52911 Have you attended your duties within the temple of late, child? If not, there shall certainly be lashes at the end of a tentacle rod awaiting you! |
| 52912 I do not recognize you, female. You shall be looked at closely, and if you be a faithful follower of the Spider Queen, you shall do as the priestesses command soon enough. |
| 52913 Do not address me, <MALEFEMALE>. The tentacle rod shall find the flesh of the unfaithful soon enough... do not invite its sting. |
| 52914 I warn you, <MALEFEMALE>. The Handmaidens of the Queen of Spiders do not brook imbeciles. Lolth's angry gaze will fall on you if you continue to be impertinent. |
| 52915 Who ARE you that you would DARE to WHAT?! SURFACERS?! DISGUISED WITH MAGIC?! DROW... IN LOLTH'S NAME! KILL THEM! KILL THEM! |
| 52916 Drow Wizard |
| 52917 Drow Wizard |
| 52918 Drow Patron |
| 52919 Drow Patron |

| 52921 Priestess of Lolth |
| 52922 Handmaiden of Lolth |
| 52923 Handmaiden of Lolth |
| 52924 Let me see the stock you keep. |
| 52925 Nothing at the moment. |
| 52926 I would've thought drow potions finer than any other. Why carry anything else? |
| 52927 Set Special Snare |
| 52928 There is nothing better than drow craftsmanship or alchemy, but we also take what we wish from those undeserving. You should know this. |
| 52929 May darkness protect. |
| 52930 Of course. May I see your inventory now? |
| 52931 Certainly. I'll be going now. |
| 52932 Do you wish to see the magic I have acquired? I have many a magical device fashioned by drow hand, as well as some taken from lesser races that did not deserve them. |
| 52933 Drow Transformation |
| 52934 Yes, I shall see what you have. |
| 52935 No, I'll be going. |
| 52936 Lolth guide your step. |
| 52937 An impenetrable darkness overwhelms you. You cannot pass this way without light. |
| 52938 Your opinion is of little consequence. If you were not competent, you would be beneath our notice and you would be dead. You have proven worthy to live. |
| 52939 You may take that as grudging respect if you like, or you may take it as treachery. I care not. I am done with you. |
| 52940 Then display your fury with abandon! You defeated the hated illithids, so you are worthy to battle us! |
| 52941 Repulsion, caster |
| 52942 This is not yet over, <CHARNAME>. We shall surely meet again! |
| 52943 He could not give it! It was not his to begin with! It was stolen from our people, and it must be returned. |
| 52944 Gather, my pretties! Manlings intrude upon our realm! |
| 52945 Colors! |
| 52946 Squirrels |
| 52947 A great tear in the earth has split asunder the structure before you. The roof of the structure is covered in tiny but intricate designs. You would do well to investigate them. |
| 52948 The blade is a Silver Sword, a weapon entrusted to the greatest of our leaders by our queen herself. It cannot be given or sold. To do so means death. |
| 52949 Your words may dance as they will, but we know Saemon Havarian had it and we know it was given to you. It will be returned! |
| 52950 Certainly he had it, but did you see the giving of it? Perhaps he lied. |
| 52951 You could not have seen the trade. Perhaps Saemon lied! |
| 52952 If it means that much, then I will return it. I apologize on behalf of whoever took it. |
| 52953 I had your blade, but I found it to be poor quality at best. I got rid of it. |
| 52954 You insult that which is most precious to us! It is a degrading crime of words! Enough! We shall kill you and determine if your corpse carries the blade! |
| 52955 Sorry, but I got rid of it long ago. It was an unspectacular weapon, so I dropped it. |
| 52956 No, it will not. It is now my property, although I fail to see the appeal of it. |
| 52957 Greetings to you, <CHARNAME>, in the name of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. Allow me to introduce myself... I am Squire Catheras, assistant to the prelate, Wessalen. |
| 52958 I think not! I think you are too coarse to hide the event. I think you will die here, and we shall see if your corpse has the blade! |
| 52959 You are returning it? As simply as that? I had not thought this would end without the shedding of blood. |
| 52960 I must admit I am something of a follower of the recent tales of your exploits, especially since you joined the Order. Your deeds are impressive, to say the least. |
| 52961 I am also something of a follower of tales of your exploits, even though you are not a member of the Order. They say your deeds are... most impressive. |
| 52962 Then I leave you in peace. You obviously had no part in the original taking. I thank you for our lives, because success means we may return home in victory. |
| 52963 Still, a debt must be paid. That you returned it is admirable, but you are unsavory in all other aspects. I regret what must be done, but there must be atonement! |
| 52964 I am also something of a follower of the many tales of your exploits, even though the prelate forbids it. Your deeds are legendary in my eyes, despite... ah... the fact that you have strayed from the Path. |
| 52965 Perhaps he did, and perhaps not. Regardless, this is not a matter where we can take chances. Failure to retrieve the sword means death. |
| 52966 I am young, but I have been following the tales of your many exploits. It is difficult to discern the truth, but whatever truth there is to these tales must still be quite exciting! |
| 52967 I insist that I do not have it. Is my word not sufficient? |
| 52968 If it is such a serious matter, then take the blade with my blessings. |
| 52969 The blade is mine. You shall not have it, no matter how little I need it. |
| 52970 Perhaps I had it, but no longer. I sensed the trouble it would cause and ditched it. |
| 52971 I am something of a follower of the tales I hear of your exploits, even though the prelate forbids it. I must warn you, however... you are not very welcome here with your reputation. |
| 52972 I am pleased to finally meet you in person. I apologize, however... you likely came here with a purpose, and I am keeping you from it. Did... did you have business with the Order, <CHARNAME>? |
| 52973 In a matter where death is the alternative, should we return without the sword? No, it is not sufficient. I regret what must be done to determine the truth. |
| 52974 Our dealings are done. Leave us in peace, and you will receive the same. |
| 52975 The dark enemy is there! Attack, that the forests will never again feel the taint of their step! For Suldanessellar! |
| 52976 I do, but I can speak only to the prelate of it. |
| 52977 You there! You are not of our enemy's dark design! Get to the surface and report to Elhan immediately. |
| 52978 I do, but I can speak only to the prelate of it. |
| 52979 With a screech of stone on stone, the bridge repairs itself and allows access to the other side. The voice offers no further riddles. |
| 52980 Cutpurse |
| 52981 Cutpurse |
| 52982 I intend to enlist the aid of the Order in battling a powerful vampire that is in the city. |
| 52983 Dace Sontan |
| 52984 Dace Sontan |
| 52985 Step aside, brat. I can speak for myself. |
| 52986 No, I don't think so. |
| 52987 Of course, forgive me for being so inquisitive. I am sure the prelate would have nothing against speaking with you. Follow me. |
| 52988 Kobold Shaman |
| 52989 Well... I suppose you *could* talk to the prelate, but I don't know how receptive he would be to speaking with you, considering... well, you know. I will leave it up to him, though. Follow me. |
| 52990 A... a vampire? Such a terrible creature truly exists? Here in Athkatla? I... I had no idea! |
| 52991 You must tell the prelate about this immediately! If there is such a pervasive evil in the city, I am sure the Order will do all it can to assist you. Come! |
| 52992 I speak the common tongue that you might hear and be warned! All that breach the surface will be fought back! Wait, you... you are no drow! |
| 52993 You must tell the prelate about this immediately! Despite your reputation, I am sure he would consider this creature an evil that the Order must battle! Come! Follow me! |
| 52994 Ah... of course, of course. You want to... speak to the prelate personally. I completely understand. I'm sure you know the way, then, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 52995 Oh. Well, as I said... it is good to finally meet you in person, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I have no doubt that I shall hear more of you soon enough. Good day to you. |
| 52996 I'm sure the prelate can be convinced to help you, <GABBER>. |
| 52997 So we're going to help you destroy a... a powerful vampire? Merciful Tyr, what a battle that will be! I will go and relay the message immediately to Sir Reirrac! |
| 52998 I see that the prelate refused you. Perhaps... perhaps there is still some way to appease him. The Order *does* exist to fight the greater evil... maybe if you could convince him of *that*... |
| 52999 This man has been tortured severely and is presently unconscious. |
| 53000 Greetings, <GABBER>. The tales of your deeds precede you... we hear of your great feats even here in the Order. The city was fortunate to have you arrive here, I think. |
| 53001 Greetings, <GABBER>. Please excuse me... while I would love to ask you of your journeys, the Order does keep us squires quite busy. |

| 53006 As you were warned, attempting to take the Rift Device from the dungeon has brought the full force of the curse down upon you. You die with much suffering. |
| 53007 Greetings, <GABBER>. Perhaps if <CHARNAME> is with you, I might speak to <PRO_HIMHER>... <PRO_HESHE> is the spokes<PRO_MANWOMAN> of your group, is <PRO_HESHE> not? |
| 53008 <CHARNAME>... I am pleased to welcome a member of the Order back amongst us. You seem well. Have you business with me? |
| 53009 Ah, <CHARNAME>... I greet you on behalf of the Order of the Radiant Heart. Be welcome here in our hall. Do you have business with the Order? |
| 53010 <CHARNAME>. I greet a slithering viper with the promise of justice by my blade. Give me one good reason why you should not be cut down where you stand! |
| 53011 I do. I must do battle with a powerful coven of vampires in this city, and I ask for the Order's assistance. |
| 53012 You may not use two rings of wizardry at the same time. |
| 53013 The mind flayers turn their mind powers against you... You have no hope of survival. |
| 53014 Perhaps not. Another time, Prelate. |
| 53015 I do. I intend to do battle with a powerful coven of vampires here in the city, and I wish to request the Order's aid. |
| 53016 I do. I must do battle with a powerful coven of vampires in this city, and I ask for the Order's assistance. |
| 53017 I do. I intend to do battle with a powerful coven of vampires here in the city, and I wish to request the Order's aid. |
| 53018 My lady! Lord Keldorn has returned. |
| 53019 Shade Lich |
| 53020 Perhaps not. Another time, Prelate. |
| 53021 Because I have an enemy that is yours as well. I intend to battle a coven of powerful vampires here in the city... and I am here to ask for your assistance. |
| 53022 Because I have an enemy that is yours as well. I intend to battle a coven of powerful vampires here in the city... and I am here to ask for your assistance. |
| 53023 Because my enemy is a powerful vampire here in Athkatla, and I offer you the privilege of joining me when I destroy her. |
| 53024 Because my enemy is a powerful vampire here in Athkatla, and I offer you the privilege of joining me when I destroy her. |
| 53025 Do not threaten me, old man. You'll find it dangerous for your health. |
| 53026 Because I am leaving. You can keep your self-righteousness and stick it, old man. |
| 53027 I have heard of this vampire. Her name is Bodhi... but did you not destroy her and her guild at the beckoning of the Shadow Thieves? |
| 53028 I destroyed her guild because I needed the aid of the Shadow Thieves, but I could not destroy her. She has returned to Athkatla and has regained her strength. |
| 53029 No... no, I do not believe you. I can take no chances until I hear from... I waste time here! Take <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 53030 I destroyed her guild because I needed the aid of the Shadow Thieves, but I could not destroy her. She has returned to Athkatla and has regained her strength. |
| 53031 I have heard of this vampire. Her name is Bodhi... you were working with her and her guild when you destroyed the Shadow Thieves. Why did you do this? |
| 53032 I thought I needed her aid, and that the Shadow Thieves were worse. But now I know she is part of a terrible plot, and I cannot defeat her alone. |
| 53033 I thought I needed her aid, and that the Shadow Thieves were worse. But now I know she is part of a terrible plot, and I cannot defeat her alone. |
| 53034 I didn't know the full extent of her nature, then, and I had little choice. Now I do, and I intend to destroy her... but I need your help. |
| 53035 I didn't know the full extent of her nature, then, and I had little choice. Now I do, and I intend to destroy her... but I need your help. |
| 53036 My reasons are my own. The fact remains that she is evil and powerful and I cannot defeat her alone. Will you aid me or not? |
| 53037 I will not answer any of your questions, old man. Either you want to help destroy her or you don't; decide and be done with it. |
| 53038 As you desire, <CHARNAME>. Should that change, the Order shall be here to assist you. |
| 53039 Hmm. We know of this vampire, as well as the guild she once led. You destroyed them, we thought... at the beckoning of the despicable Shadow Thieves! |
| 53040 Hmm. We know this vampire... Bodhi. Are you not her servant? Did you not slaughter the Shadow Thieves at her bidding? Why should we trust you? |
| 53041 Bah! We know this vampire. Our sources say you defeated her and her guild for the Shadow Thieves. Why lie to us now? What are you up to, <CHARNAME>? |
| 53042 I shall stand against evil as I see fit, and you will mind your tongue in a place of justice. Now begone or discover why the Order is feared by such as you. |
| 53043 Then go and do not return until you have mended your ways... for the only alternative is eventual judgment at our hands. |
| 53044 Bah! We know this vampire. We know as well that you slaughtered the Shadow Thieves at her beckoning. We cannot trust you! |
| 53045 I destroyed her guild, but not her. And now she has regained her strength and returned... and she is too powerful for me to defeat alone. |
| 53046 I'll not explain myself to you. The fact is, I did not destroy her and I cannot without your aid. |
| 53047 I was not aware of her full nature, and I had little choice. Now I do, and she is my enemy... but she is too powerful for me to defeat alone. |
| 53048 The Shadow Thieves deserved to die... and I have since discovered that she too is my enemy. I intend to destroy her, but I need your help to succeed. |
| 53049 I'll not explain myself to you. I intend to attack her... you can trust me or not, as it suits you, I only need your aid. |
| 53050 I am not lying. I destroyed her guild, but not her, and now she has recovered and returned with a more powerful force. I cannot defeat her alone. |
| 53051 I'll not explain myself to you. The fact is, I did not destroy her and I cannot without your aid. |
| 53052 I am up to nothing. Accuse me again of being a liar and you'll regret it, old man. |
| 53053 How about you discover why self-righteous pigs like you fear one such as I?! Have at you! |
| 53054 Despite our differences, I came with a purpose, and I intend to see it through. I need your help... and you'll give it, regardless of what you think of me. |
| 53055 Despite our differences, I came with a purpose, and I intend to see it through. I need your help... and you'll give it, regardless of what you think of me. |
| 53056 Fine. I'll go. |
| 53057 I was not aware of her full nature then, and I had little choice. Now I do, and she is my enemy... but she is too powerful for me to defeat alone. |
| 53058 Believe what you will. The fact remains that she is my enemy and yours as well. I intend to attack her, and I cannot do it alone. |
| 53059 Then we shall aid you in your battle against her and whatever demons she may bring, <CHARNAME>. The Order shall strike down evil wherever it lies. |
| 53060 When you go to the graveyard to face this creature, I shall send a group led by Sir William Reirrac to fight by your side. They will meet you in the catacombs. |
| 53061 In Torm's name, I pray that this is enough to defeat this evil once and for all. Go with my blessing, <CHARNAME>... I have preparations that must be made. |
| 53062 I question your judgment in this matter... but now is not the time. We will not let you down, <CHARNAME>... the Order stands against all evil. |
| 53063 Then she and her brood must be stopped, without question. Very well, <CHARNAME>, the Order shall fight alongside you against this evil. |
| 53064 But you travel with one among you! Are you collaborators? Have you betrayed us all to the darkness below? |
| 53065 Then we shall aid you, <CHARNAME>. But if you are lying, the Order will exact a terrible vengeance for your complicity with such a creature. |
| 53066 I dislike your tone, <CHARNAME>. The Order is not beholden to you. We have worked towards dealing with these vampires on our own. |
| 53067 But we stand a better chance fighting with you... and so we shall. The slightest hint of treachery, however, and you will suffer our vengeance, <CHARNAME>. |
| 53068 The Order has sought to deal with these creatures, but our chances are greater fighting alongside you. However, you are not to be trusted. |
| 53069 I will have your word that you are striving to destroy this creature... and that my men will not be abandoned at your slightest whim. Will you give it? |
| 53070 You should not be in this area! Are you a collaborator? Have you betrayed the surface world to the devils below? |
| 53071 Yes. You have my word. |
| 53072 No. I give my word on nothing. |
| 53073 Would it matter if I did? We have a common enemy... care for your men yourself. |
| 53074 Then the Order shall join you in this fight. Beware, however... at the slightest sign of treachery, you will suffer the Order's vengeance. |
| 53075 It would not be the first time we have found traitors among our own kind. Explain how you come here, elven <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, but choose your words well. |
| 53076 Then you shall have nothing from us. Face your battles on your own, as we shall... my men will not watch their front and their backs at the same time. Go. |
| 53077 You know of Irenicus? You will speak with Elhan immediately. He will determine your relationship with the fiend! |
| 53078 Shade Lich |
| 53079 A brave statement in time of battle. Your sentiments are true enough, but I will NOT trust you when you walk with the enemy. |
| 53080 My commander shall decide your worth. You will be taken to him. Do not resist; I will not waste time when the deeds of Irenicus grow more foul each day. |
| 53081 My name is <CHARNAME>. I have fought through the drow to find Irenicus! |
| 53082 I've not come this far to be accused by you. Attack if you will; my task will not wait. |
| 53083 I do not answer to you or anyone else. I've been through hell, and I'm in a foul mood. |
| 53084 Your conflict with the drow is no concern of mine. I seek Irenicus for my own goal. |
| 53085 My name is <CHARNAME>. I have fought through the drow to find Irenicus! |
| 53086 Viconia is a rogue drow and has fought as hard as I. Now we seek Irenicus. |
| 53087 I am no collaborator, but I do not judge allies on their skin alone. |
| 53088 I do not answer to you or anyone else. I've been through hell, and I'm in a foul mood. |
| 53089 My name is <CHARNAME>. I have fought through the drow to find Irenicus! |
| 53090 Viconia is a rogue drow and has fought as hard as I. Now we seek Irenicus. |
| 53091 I am no collaborator, but I do not judge allies on their skin alone. |
| 53092 I do not answer to you or anyone else. I've been through hell, and I'm in a foul mood. |
| 53093 Then why do you not go to your allies in the Shadow Thieves for aid? Why do you come to us, you who possess barely a modicum of honor? |
| 53094 I intend to go to the Shadow Thieves. I need your help as well. Bodhi and her vampires are enemies of us all. |
| 53095 I have gone to the Shadow Thieves. I need your help as well. Bodhi and her vampires are enemies of us all. |
| 53096 Fine. If you won't help me, then I'll go. |
| 53097 That's the sort of slight that could get an old man hurt. |
| 53098 Lying would be amongst the most innocent of things you have done, <CHARNAME>. Leave this hall, for you shall receive no aid here... |
| 53099 You dare?! Knights of the Order, to me! |
| 53100 Why would the Order assist you in anything? You are barely better than a common criminal. |
| 53101 Because I have an enemy that is yours as well. I intend to battle a coven of powerful vampires here in the city... and I am here to ask for your assistance. |
| 53102 Because I have an enemy that is yours as well. I intend to battle a coven of powerful vampires here in the city... and I am here to ask for your assistance. |
| 53103 Because my enemy is a powerful vampire here in Athkatla, and I offer you the privilege of joining me when I destroy her. |
| 53104 Because my enemy is a powerful vampire here in Athkatla, and I offer you the privilege of joining me when I destroy her. |
| 53105 No. You are evil, <CHARNAME>, and you shall receive no help from those who are righteous, regardless of your cause. Leave this place. |
| 53106 I do not believe your intentions, <CHARNAME>. The Order shall fight such evil, but not at your side. Leave this place. |
| 53107 The Order will fight by your side against the vampires, <GABBER>. Go to the graveyard and enter her crypt... the paladins shall join you there. |
| 53108 I was not aware of her full nature then, and I had little choice. Now I do, and she is my enemy... but she is too powerful for me to defeat alone. |
| 53109 You have heard my judgment. The Order will not aid you in your cause. Leave us and find others to tell your lies to. |
| 53110 Ah! <CHARNAME>, you are *here*. This is most fortunate, as I had just recently been dispatched to track you down and deliver a message. Well... this makes things much easier, doesn't it? |
| 53111 As you are a member of the Shadow Thieves, the Shadowmaster himself, Aran Linvail, requests your presence as soon as possible on a matter of utmost urgency. |
| 53112 You have done our guild great services in the past, and the Shadowmaster, Aran Linvail, extends the guild's continued hospitality... and requests to speak to you as soon as possible. |
| 53113 I do not know the reason for his requested audience, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, but he awaits you in his chambers below. |
| 53114 Very well. I will go and see him now. |
| 53115 And if I refuse? |
| 53116 Forget it. I have no interest in speaking to Aran Linvail. |
| 53117 Forget it. I have no interest in speaking to Aran Linvail. |
| 53118 Excellent. The Shadowmaster will be pleased. I will go and tell him that you will be attending him shortly. |
| 53119 You will cooperate if you have a brain in your head. You are in a bad position, having just emerged from the very lair of the enemy. |
| 53120 Well, uh... the request I have is politely worded, and I happen to know that the Shadowmaster holds you in high regard. I... personally, I would not be so quick to throw away such a friend. |
| 53121 I will go and tell him you are here, at least. You may go and speak to him at your leisure, should you desire to, I suppose. |
| 53122 But... but you are a Shadow Thief! How can you refuse him? I... I know the Shadowmaster holds you in very high regard, but I'm not sure he would put up with such impertinence. It's... your choice, I suppose. |
| 53123 I understand that the Shadowmaster himself has called for you, <CHARNAME>. I suggest you go, for I can do nothing to aid you otherwise. |
| 53124 So the Shadow Thieves will help in your battle against that undead witch and her coven. I'll be sending my best assassins, you can be sure, <CHARNAME>. |
| 53125 By all means. If this Elhan can tell me of Irenicus, I am very eager to meet him. |
| 53126 Hmm, I don't know what you did to anger Aran, but he's told us to refuse any aid against that undead witch. I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>, there's nothing I can do. |
| 53127 I have my own concerns that I must act on quickly. This meeting must be brief. |
| 53128 Elemental Lich |
| 53129 I will be watching my back through this. You will regret it if this is a trap. |
| 53130 Then lead on. I am in need of allies for the coming battle. |
| 53131 I have my own concerns that I must act on quickly. This meeting must be brief. |
| 53132 Irenicus! I know that name well. Lead on and tell me what you know. |
| 53133 I will be watching my back through this. You will regret it if this is a trap. |
| 53134 I understand that the undead creature Bodhi is finally dead. Good job, <CHARNAME>. The Shadow Thieves will not forget you for this help you have given us. |
| 53135 Yes, yes, I know who you are, <GABBER>. I would like to speak to <CHARNAME>, however... <PRO_HESHE> is amongst you, yes? |
| 53136 Your fate will be decided shortly. You will remain under guard until Elhan sees you. Make no move; you will be watched closely. |
| 53137 Ah... you have returned after all. And far sooner than I expected. After you left on Havarian's ship, I must admit that I half-wondered if you would reach the island, never mind return. |
| 53138 Welcome. |
| 53139 I half-wondered that myself, considering the fact that your captain betrayed me. |
| 53140 You mean you planned for me not to return. Saemon Havarian betrayed me... at your direction, I think. |
| 53141 That doesn't matter. I'm back, and I need your help. |
| 53142 He betrayed you? I'm not surprised. Oh, don't look at me like thatâ€â€it was *not* because of me. Saemon Havarian was not one of my men in the slightest. |
| 53143 I did tell you that few ships dare to visit Brynnlaw, and you saw the type of person that haunts the place. Havarian was the best available, I am afraid. |
| 53144 If you wish, I could have the good captain tracked and punished for his... misdeeds. I did pay him extra to keep you safe, gold that apparently was wasted. |
| 53145 No, don't bother. Havarian is already dead. |
| 53146 No need! The bastard rots as we speak! |
| 53147 No, there's no need. He seemed to have little choice in his actions, and he may even be dead, for all I know. |
| 53148 His ship is sunk, and he may even be dead. That's enough for me. |
| 53149 Yes... track the man down, if he still lives. I don't want him to get away with this. |
| 53150 Is he? What a shame. The matter is settled, then. |
| 53151 Then he is left to his own fate, which is good enough. Havarian has a habit of turning up like a bad copper, so I doubt this is the last I've seen of him. |
| 53152 Then we shall have to see about the Shadow Thieves paying him a little visit. Somehow, though, I think he will be hard to find. No matter... we are patient. |
| 53153 You need my help? And here I thought you had come merely to talk about old times. As it happens, I need your help as well. |
| 53154 I need your help in dealing with Bodhi. You were successful destroying her guild, of that I am glad, but the mistress herself seems to have survived. |
| 53155 I don't know why she returned to Athkatla, but I can't take the risk that she will rebuild and take revenge on the Shadow Thieves... and myself, of course. |
| 53156 I would like you to end her existence permanently. I won't fault you for your failure last time. Obviously, both of us underestimated the extent of her power. |
| 53157 I intend to do it anyway. I came here looking for your assistance in attacking her. |
| 53158 I intend to do it anyway. I came here looking for your assistance in attacking her. |
| 53159 I intend to do it anyway. I came here looking for your assistance in attacking her. |
| 53160 I will do it, but Bodhi is too powerful to attack without aid from the Shadow Thieves. |
| 53161 Yes... welcome. |
| 53162 I'll have you know I do not trust you. I have no reason to trust you. I do not feel that I *have* to trust you. No doubt the same applies from your perspective. |
| 53163 I will do it, but Bodhi is too powerful to attack without aid from the Shadow Thieves. |
| 53164 I will do it, but Bodhi is too powerful to attack without aid from the Shadow Thieves. |
| 53165 Give me some assassins to back me up, and I'll think about it. |
| 53166 Give me some assassins to back me up, and I'll think about it. |
| 53167 No, I am not. I merely came to look at you. You arrived from the depths, and I wished to see if the darkness was in your eyes. |
| 53168 Very well, you are a member of the Shadow Thieves, and I would not ask such a dangerous mission without offering some assistance... not this time, at any rate. |
| 53169 So... with that admission out of the way, are you going to tell me what this is about? |
| 53170 I only wish to help, though I won't be much use if I don't know what is going on. |
| 53171 I don't care about this. I am searching for Jon Irenicus and his sister, Bodhi. |
| 53172 I will have Arkanis and Yachiko and others, our best assassins, join you when you enter Bodhi's catacombs. I want to be sure Bodhi is forever out of my hair. |
| 53173 Go to the catacombs when you're ready, then. Your assassins will meet you there. And, incidentally... good luck. |
| 53174 Then you shall have it. You have proven yourself to the entire guild, and from your reputation, you are certainly to be trusted with the lives of my men. |
| 53175 Add my own men to your force? Why would I do that? No doubt you would use them as cannon fodder in the attack, and I would lose the skilled agents I have left. |
| 53176 I'm sure I don't have to remind you of the cost of Bodhi's war. I have few people left, and yours are not the most trustworthy hands to put their lives into. |
| 53177 After all the hoops I jumped through, you're just going to throw me to the wolves?! |
| 53178 Then you will die, because I can't defeat her alone, and she will eventually come after you. |
| 53179 I need all the help I can get, Aran. Every man you can send is needed. |
| 53180 I need all the help I can get, Aran. Every man you can send is needed. |
| 53181 I'm rather tired of being used by you, and yet *you* are the one calling *me* untrustworthy. |
| 53182 Elemental Lich |
| 53183 I don't care for your tone. It was you that failed in the first place, not killing her before. I have barely the manpower to protect me, never mind help you. |

| 53189 Kangaxx the Demilich |
| 53190 It's a matter of survival. I have almost nothing to offer you. Perhaps in the future, I could aid you, but not now, not in this fight. |
| 53191 HALF-ORCS: Half-orcs are born from the union of human and orc parents. They are as tall as humans, but a little heavier due to their muscular builds. Their greenish pigmentation, sloping forehead, jutting jaw, prominent teeth, and coarse body hair make their lineage plain for all to see. In the lands of Amn, half-orcs are tolerated, as unlike in the north the people of Amn haven't had centuries of warfare with orc kind. Half-orcs are known for their great strength. Half-orcs have the following traits: – Infravision. – +1 Strength, +1 Constitution, -2 Intelligence. |

| 53196 I need your help *now*. Without it, I may fail, and then Bodhi will come after you. |
| 53197 I need your help *now*. Without it, I may fail, and then Bodhi will come after you. |
| 53198 You must find us an exit from this place. |
| 53199 So you ask for me to come, demand that I try and kill Bodhi, and offer nothing in return? |
| 53200 Olaf Rassmusen |
| 53201 Maybe your survival is in more immediate danger. I don't like being abandoned. |
| 53202 Olaf Rassmusen |

| 53204 Maferan |
| 53205 I demand that you help me, Aran. You owe it to me. |

| 53215 Koshi |
| 53216 Stalman |
| 53217 Stalman |
| 53218 Very well then, <CHARNAME>. You will have the help of the Shadow Thieves. At the barest hint of betrayal, however, you are on your own. |
| 53219 And I'm supposed to care about this... why? |
| 53220 Ketta |
| 53221 Ketta |
| 53222 *sigh* I suppose there is no real reason to not trust you with the lives of my men. I would do much to make sure this vampire is finally destroyed. |

| 53227 I don't trust you, and I don't like risking my men, but I have little choice. If I aid you, we are even... after Bodhi is dead, we have no further association. |
| 53228 Perhaps you are right. Your reputation is not a poor one, and you should be treated fairly for your efforts so far. I suppose I could return the favor. |
| 53229 You are more than untrustworthy, <CHARNAME>, you are dangerous. You think the Shadow Thieves hear nothing of your actions outside of these walls? |
| 53230 No, you are not to be trusted with any lives other than your own. Go... kill Bodhi, if you can, and we are done. But you shall receive no help from me. |
| 53231 Again? You didn't complete the task last time, and Bodhi, no doubt, has a bone to pick with you. Go, kill her if you can, but you shall get no help from me. |
| 53232 I will be happy to aid you while on my own search for Jon Irenicus. |
| 53233 Only you would be foolish enough to dare threatening me in my own sanctum, <CHARNAME>. Do not even think about it. |
| 53234 Our current state is because of your failure to kill her last time. You deal with the consequences. Go, kill her if you can, but you shall get no aid from me. |
| 53235 You will demand nothing here, <CHARNAME>. I owe you nothing, and I will not respond even slightly to such a tone from one with such a poor reputation. |
| 53236 Go... go to the graveyard and enter the catacombs when you are ready. My best assassins will meet you there, and I hope they will be enough. Now... I must make preparations, so excuse me. |
| 53237 I have told you my decision, <CHARNAME>. Kill Bodhi, but do it without my help... and we shall be even. Now leave this place at once. |
| 53238 So... finally, Bodhi is dead, is she? I am very pleased. The Shadow Thieves at large can breathe a sigh of relief now. A job well done, <CHARNAME>. |
| 53239 Elhan will see to you. He will make sure you are comfortable and that you reveal what you must of yourself. He is experienced, and... and he has knowledge of the enemy. |
| 53240 I understand your force and ours were victorious. A blow has been struck against evil today... the valiant dead have to be mourned. Well done, <CHARNAME>. |
| 53241 You will be of use if you supply answers to our questions. Perhaps you will bring enlightenment, perhaps not. Perhaps you are in league with the enemy, perhaps not. |
| 53242 Island concerns: Ginia's tale I paid the smuggler Calahan 200 gold to help Ginia and her brother. He'll take them off the isle as long as Chremy cannot interfere. |
| 53243 Mornmaster, I have come to ask for the church's aid in a matter of importance. |
| 53244 Oh? What is the problem? Illuminate me and I shall tell you whether the church of Lathander may render assistance to you. |
| 53245 There is a powerful vampire by the name of Bodhi that I must face... and I hope that the church can aid me in the battle. |
| 53246 There is a powerful vampire by the name of Bodhi that I must face... and I hope that the church can aid me in the battle. |
| 53247 There is a powerful vampire by the name of Bodhi that I must face... and I hope that the church can aid me in the battle. |
| 53248 Ah. I know this creature... it is the one that lurks within the crypts beneath the graveyard, yes? It is good that you seek to face such an evil. |
| 53249 If you haven't, seek the paladins of the Radiant Heart. They are more suited to battle than we and will prove more help. Lathander watch over you, friend. |
| 53250 There are chunks of broken mortar around the statue. It appears to have had a piece broken off. You could look more closely if you wish to. |
| 53251 Go in peace, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 53252 I see. You mention some very interesting names, names you could not know unless you were enemies of our enemies... or their friends. |
| 53253 I know of this creature, the one you speak of. It dwells in the crypts beneath the graveyard and spreads its evil like the plague. |
| 53254 I offer only advice, as no Lathanderite will risk their life for you. There are other ways to combat evil. Seek paladins; they are champions of holy battle. |
| 53255 I have come to ask for the aid of the church in a great battle that I must undertake, Stormherald. |
| 53256 I have come to ask for the aid of the church in a great battle that I must undertake, Stormherald. |
| 53257 A battle? Why would the servants of the Storm Lord undertake a battle, except at the command of Talos himself?! Speak! |
| 53258 I must destroy a powerful vampire by the name of Bodhi, who keeps |
| 53259 I must destroy a powerful vampire by the name of Bodhi, who keeps |
| 53260 I must destroy a powerful vampire by the name of Bodhi, who keeps |
| 53261 The bloodsucking mistress in the crypts? Talos has no grudge against her and is not impressed by your admitted weakness. If you wish to fight her, do so. |
| 53262 You move closer to the statue, and to your surprise, it begins to move! The stone head turns towards you and the mouth moves, but no sound comes out. The statue holds out its hands, as if asking for something, and a look of profound sorrow mars its smooth marble features. After a brief moment, the statue moves back to its original position and moves no more. |
| 53263 Hive Mother |
| 53264 Now begone... I have given you my decision, and that shall be the end of it. |
| 53265 I know of the creature you speak of. Talos would gladly strike... but not at your prodding. Your motives are suspect, and you shall receive no assistance here. |
| 53266 Hive Mother |
| 53267 Hive Mother |
| 53268 I have come to ask for Helm's aid in a matter of utmost importance, High Watcher. |
| 53269 I have come to ask for Helm's aid in a matter of utmost importance, High Watcher. |
| 53270 In this, as in all things, Helm shall perform his duty. What is this matter, <CHARNAME>? Tell me and I shall tell you how Helm may aid you. |
| 53271 May Helm watch over you and guard you from danger in your future endeavors, <GABBER>. Now... if you will excuse me, there is much I must attend to. |
| 53272 I have come to ask for Helm's aid in a matter of utmost importance, High Watcher. |
| 53273 I must do battle with a powerful vampire here in the city, and I cannot face her alone. I ask for the church's aid. |
| 53274 I must do battle with a powerful vampire here in the city, and I cannot face her alone. I ask for the church's aid. |
| 53275 I must do battle with a powerful vampire here in the city, and I cannot face her alone. I ask for the church's aid. |
| 53276 I know of this vampire... Bodhi, yes? Helm knows that she endangers all. We are guardians, servants... I wish we could join you in this struggle. |
| 53277 But we have nothing to aid you with. I would suggest you approach the paladins of the Radiant Heart if you have not already. |
| 53278 Captured by mind flayers! I encountered the githyanki again. They were impressed that I had survived the illithid city, though they remain cold and uncaring about leaving me there. I let them be on their way. There is nothing to be gained by pressing the matter. |
| 53279 I have given you my decision. Now you may go. |
| 53280 Lolth be praised. |
| 53281 I know of the dread creature you speak of... Bodhi. Helm watches this one, but he raises no hand against her at this time. We will not aid you in a battle. |
| 53282 Seek out the paladins of the Radiant Heart, if you have not already... ask them for aid in this righteous battle. They are the warriors that you seek. |
| 53283 The destiny of the drow is to conquer all. |
| 53284 Do not cast your shadow upon me! I've much to accomplish, and none of it involves you. |
| 53287 Galvena |
| 53288 Galvena |
| 53289 You there! I recognize you! You are the scoundrel that attacked me for no good reason near Baldur's Gate and made off with my equipment! |
| 53290 Front |
| 53291 Front |
| 53292 Darkness take you! Enemies! |
| 53293 Do not question the matron mothers. |
| 53294 Know you that I am Drizzt Do'Urden, and that I have done nothing in the surface lands but fight against evil that I see... including bandits such as yourself! |
| 53295 It took me a long time to track down my scimitars, and an equally long time to track down you... and now I have done so. |
| 53296 Come, now, Drizzt... If this be the dire bandit who jumped ye while ye fought the gnolls, then let us dispatch <PRO_HIMHER> and be back to the Ten Towns, where we be truly needed. |
| 53297 Careful, Drizzt... <PRO_HESHE> looks more powerful than ye remember, perhaps. Ye wouldn't want to be startin' something ye cannot finish. |
| 53298 Guard Capt |
| 53299 Guard Capt |
| 53300 Do not worry, Cattie-Brie, I did not bring you here to join me in vengeance... though this <PRO_RACE> may deserve such. I came seeking a simple answer. |
| 53301 Why did you attack me, <PRO_RACE>? Are you truly a simple bandit, greedy and nothing more? If that is the case, I shall be disappointed. |
| 53302 Vadek |
| 53303 Vadek |
| 53304 Then prepare to be disappointed, because I did not give up those lovely weapons of yours voluntarily... and I am pleased to see them once again! |
| 53305 I killed you because I wanted to, fool, and I intend to do so again! |
| 53306 Dockhand |
| 53307 Dockhand |
| 53308 Claire |
| 53309 Claire |
| 53310 Golin |
| 53311 Golin |
| 53312 I attacked you because you are drow, and I didn't want to wait for you to attack me once you were done with the gnolls. |
| 53313 I did kill you, and I'll not explain myself further. Leave now and you'll leave this place alive. |
| 53314 Galvena's Key |
| 53315 That was a long time ago, and I've changed since then. Perhaps my assault on you was in error. |
| 53316 Galvena's Key |
| 53317 See?! I told ye, Drizzt... this be scum an' nothing more! Let us lance the boil where <PRO_HESHE> stands! |
| 53318 Galvena's Medallion |
| 53319 Galvena's Symbol |
| 53320 Very well. I gave you your chance, whoever you are. It is obvious that you are the contemptible sort that nothing but death will suffice... so be it. |
| 53321 I attacked you because you are drow, and I didn't want to wait for you to attack me once you were done with the gnolls. |
| 53322 Ah. So you attacked because of the reputation of my people? Why, then, do you have a drow amongst your number? I do not see you attacking this one. |
| 53323 Viconia is an outcast, but proven trustworthy. I am careful though. She might kill me if it suited her. |
| 53324 Viconia is as evil as any drow, and I trust her no more than I trust you. She is with me because she is useful. |
| 53325 Viconia is with me because I love her. She is unique amongst the drow, and I trust her implicitly. |
| 53326 I said I felt that way. I no longer do. I know now that there can be exceptions even amongst the drow. |
| 53327 Ah, the legacy of the drow follows me. Fair enough. I tell you, however, that I am not like other drow. You attacked without reason; I had no quarrel with you. |
| 53328 Aye, Drizzt Do'Urden is an honorable warrior and has done many great things. He is also our friend. You quarrel with him, you quarrel with us. |
| 53329 Not all things are so absolute, good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. In my days, I've seen enough strangeness to make a halfling's fur fall right off his feet! |
| 53330 Wulfgar and Regis are friends, and they mean well. But they are right in that I fight for what is right and good. Can you claim the same, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 53331 I can. I also fight for what is right. |
| 53332 I can. I also fight for what is right. |
| 53333 No, not really. I have no intention of making such a claim about myself. |
| 53334 No, not really. I have no intention of making such a claim about myself. |
| 53335 Not at all. I fight for myself and for whatever other reasons I prefer. Good is irrelevant. |
| 53336 Not at all. I fight for myself and for whatever other reasons I prefer. Good is irrelevant. |
| 53337 All I can claim is that your death will bring me great pleasure, drow! |
| 53338 Eh? The <PRO_RACE> is threatening us? Do you think <PRO_HESHE> is serious? |
| 53339 It seems that be the way of it, Wulfgar, me boy. Hah! We've faced hellspawn an' worse in our time... perhaps yer git here needs a comeuppance at our hands, Drizzt. |
| 53340 Indeed. This time, <PRO_RACE>, I am neither alone nor preoccupied by a battle with gnolls. Let us see where a fair battle takes you! |
| 53341 Perhaps. I believe people can change... perhaps you have. I have made mistakes in my life, but always have I attempted to make up for them. |
| 53342 The path to supremacy for a male lies either in the bedchamber or the books of the mages. |
| 53343 To walk apart from House and Queen is to walk into the grave. |
| 53344 Ssssacrifice... your bloody head will do... |
| 53345 At your command! |
| 53346 The drow rule supreme! |
| 53349 So she is drow, but you do not butcher her. How, then, was I deserving? I have abandoned my people... you will find me much different even than your drow friend. |
| 53350 A response that speaks volumes of the <PRO_MANWOMAN> who attacked without reason while I was vulnerable. I am not your drow... I have fought to deserve better. |
| 53351 You... love this drow? Interesting. Perhaps you are not the same man I encountered. Much can change in a relatively short period... this I know well. |
| 53352 Tell me then, <PRO_RACE>, that there is no quarrel between usâ€â€that I can let you live without worrying you will prey on others or seek another fight with me. |
| 53353 Tell me that, <PRO_RACE>, and I shall be content. What do you say? |
| 53354 I'd say it's time for you to die now. I'm not about to suffer any more of this lecture. |
| 53355 I'll do as I wish, drow, and I see no need for me to assure you of anything. |
| 53356 There is no quarrel between us, drow. I apologize for what happened the last time, and you needn't fear for me performing the deed on others. |
| 53357 That is good. I sense no real deception from you. Perhaps this has been a misunderstanding after all, and nothing more. |
| 53358 Lolth be praised! All victory is her doing! |
| 53359 You are a liar. I have known evil enough to see it in others. That you actually believe you are in the right disturbs me more than anything else, I think. |
| 53360 Then I be thinking we have little choice, Drizzt. Such a <PRO_MANWOMAN> we cannot be allowin' to run free... who knows what horrid acts <PRO_HESHE> has committed on others? |
| 53361 Perhaps you are right. Let us end this now, then. |
| 53362 But I sense no true evil in you. I do not claim that all must fight for good, just not against it. Perhaps there is no real reason for me to be concerned, then. |
| 53363 Of course not, since there is great evil in your heart, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I have seen enough to recognize it in others... and I see it in you. |
| 53364 But I am not here to exact vengeance. I do, however, think that you need to be taught a lesson... the exact nature of which, however, puzzles me. |
| 53365 Make <PRO_HIMHER> get down on <PRO_HISHER> knees, Drizzt... make <PRO_HIMHER> apologize! Make <PRO_HIMHER> say <PRO_HESHE>'s sorry! |
| 53366 Ha... fair enough, Regis. Perhaps you are right. If this evil <PRO_MANWOMAN> can swallow <PRO_HISHER> pride enough to apologize on <PRO_HISHER> knees, then I shall be satisfied. |
| 53367 Watch all about, warily, and the goddess may give you the gift of continued life! |
| 53368 Har! I likes it, I does! You there, <PRO_RACE>... I suggest ye gets down on yer knees quickly and spill yer apology to our friend Drizzt. Come, now... I won't give ye long to do it. |
| 53369 (down on knees) Very well, if that's how it must be. I apologize to you, Drizzt Do'Urden... for my mistake in attacking you and taking your equipment. I apologize sincerely. |
| 53370 I apologize to the drow, and I mean it... but I will not abase myself before anyone. |
| 53371 Forget it! I'd rather kill you than put up with such ridicule! |
| 53372 "And I apologize fer bein' an evil worm, an' I promise not to waylay innocent travelers any more..." |
| 53373 And... I apologize for being an evil worm, and I promise not to waylay innocent travelers any more. |
| 53374 Yes, yes, that. What the dwarf said. |
| 53375 I'm NOT going to say such a thing. |
| 53376 If the Queen of the Demonweb Pits calls for your heart, you shall surrender it gladly! |
| 53377 Do not be absurd! I'd rather kill you all than be subject to such derision! |
| 53378 It is enough for me. Bruenor, my friend, you may back away from the <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 53379 All glory for the Dark Mother! |
| 53380 So, our dealings are done then. Continue your travels, <PRO_RACE>, and I shall return to the Ten Towns. If I hear any more of you, however, we shall meet again. |
| 53381 Come, then, my friends. Let us be off. |
| 53382 None shall escape the wrath of the Dark Mother! |
| 53384 Is it? I am disturbed to see such evil embraced so openly. You do not act with hostility, but I wonder how many others you have treated as you have myself. |
| 53385 That be not good enough. Ye assaulted a hero of the realms with nary a reason and stole what was rightfully his. Ye're lucky he did not strike ye down as soon as we spotted ye. |
| 53386 I am not here for vengeance, Cattie-Brie, but if this <PRO_RACE> will not make assurances that <PRO_HESHE> will not repeat these acts, I am unsure what to do. |
| 53388 I hail from a fallen House and am therefore without worth. |
| 53389 Would that things were different... alas, I have incurred the wrath of the Dark Mother. |
| 53390 Things... things could be worse. I could have been made into a... a drider. |
| 53391 Fair enough. I am content that there is no need for violence between us and that I have no cause to protect the welfare of others from you. |
| 53392 My friends and I shall return to the Ten Towns now, and I wish you safe travels as you continue your journey. Perhaps we shall meet again one day. |
| 53393 You're not getting away that easy! I've just decided it's time for you and your self-righteous friends to die! |
| 53394 Hold on, Drizzt. I have a proposal for you, if you are the hero you say you are. |
| 53395 Hold on, Drizzt. I have a proposal for you, if you are the hero you say you are. |
| 53396 Very well. Another time, perhaps. |
| 53397 There is no proposal you might have, <PRO_RACE>, that I would be interested in hearing. If you were more trustworthy, perhaps... but not today. |
| 53398 Very well. Another day, perhaps. |
| 53399 Hold on, Drizzt... I have a proposal for you, if you are the hero you say you are. |
| 53400 Hold on, Drizzt... I have a proposal for you, if you are the hero you say you are. |
| 53401 A proposal? I will hear you out, <PRO_RACE>, but I will be wary. Speak, if you wish. |
| 53402 I am <CHARNAME> and I seek to defeat a vampire in Athkatla too powerful to face alone. Will you help? |
| 53403 On the dais, there is a blood-encrusted altar to some disgusting eight-legged beast. There is the taint of malevolent power in the air. |
| 53404 I am <CHARNAME> and I seek to defeat a vampire in Athkatla too powerful to face alone. Will you help? |
| 53405 I have heard rumors of a vampire. They say she was responsible for the destruction of the Shadow Thieves in the capitol. Is this the same creature? |
| 53406 I had heard rumors of this creature, but I also heard that she and her cohorts were destroyed. Are you claiming that this is untrue, that she yet exists? |
| 53407 I would like to further explore this area first. There is something odd about the altar. |
| 53408 Never mind. I will be on my way. |
| 53409 I am prepared to move to judgment. |
| 53410 As you wish. Another time, perhaps. |
| 53411 It shall be as you say. I shall be here when you are prepared. |
| 53412 Yes. I destroyed the Thieves for her, but now she is my enemy and too powerful to defeat alone. |
| 53413 It is. I had to destroy the Shadow Thieves for her, but now I know her true nature. I must destroy her, but I can't do it alone. |
| 53414 Steel yourself. We go. |
| 53415 It is the same one. She is incredibly powerful and must be destroyed. |
| 53416 I was the one who destroyed her guild, but she got away. She has returned now and is stronger even than before. |
| 53417 You worked for her, you say? Then I shall keep an eye on you for signs of treachery. Still, if what you say is true, she must be destroyed. |
| 53418 I will join you in your battle, <CHARNAME>, although there are things that we must do before that time. Where does this creature reside in Athkatla? |
| 53419 In the crypts beneath the Graveyard District. |
| 53420 I think I know the area you speak of. Very well... we will meet you there when you are ready to venture beneath the surface. Until that time, <CHARNAME>... |
| 53421 I have had experience with such creatures in the past, and I know well their power. If what you say is true, we cannot allow it to continue to exist. |
| 53422 I tell you, Bruenor, we've been on this path previously. Are you sure you know where you left it? I have no desire to keep traveling about in circles. |
| 53423 Blast it, boy, I may be old, but me memory has not left me head just yet! And we would not even have to look for it had Wulfgar not knocked it out of me hand! |
| 53424 I did no such thing, dwarf. |
| 53425 But ye did, me boy! Ye were not looking where ye were flying about in the battle, and I were too distracted by the trolls to run after it. And then I forgot that ye even did it, after. |
| 53426 Well, of course we be trying to help ye find it, but all Drizzt was wondering was |
| 53427 He be wondering whether I have a wit left in me head, girl! And I tell ye we'll find me hammer soon enough; I'll not leave it fer goblins to steal. Hmph. |
| 53428 Umm... be that as it may, Bruenor, Drizzt... we've got company. Maybe they found your pretty little hammer, Bruenor. |
| 53429 One more comment on me hammer, Rumblebelly, and ye'll be the first it squishes when I gets it back! |
| 53430 Peace, my friends, there is no need for us to fight over this. Ho there, travelers! I am Drizzt Do'Urden, most recently of the Ten Towns. Are you friend or foe? |
| 53431 Foe! Put up your swords and defend yourselves, fools! |
| 53432 I've no reason to fight with you just yet, drow. |
| 53433 I am a friend, Drizzt. I have heard of you. |
| 53434 I am a friend, Drizzt. I have heard of you. |
| 53435 A bandit, are you? Well, now... the last time I was defeated was when a fiend took me by surprise and alone. You'll find no easy target here, fool. |
| 53436 I'll keep that in mind. Tell me, have you seen a, ah... a pink war hammer in the vicinity during your travels? |
| 53437 Well met, then, friend. Tell me, have you perhaps seen a, ah... a pink war hammer in the vicinity during your travels? |
| 53438 I cannot say the same, but as you are not violent, I'll not push the matter. Tell me, have you perhaps seen a, ah... a pink war hammer in the vicinity? |
| 53439 Blast ye, Drizzt, me hammer be not PINK! |
| 53440 Well, you have to admit, Bruenor... since Cirine cast that enchantment on it, it *has* been glowing a little on the pinkish side... |
| 53441 It be RED! RED, I tell ye! Call it pink again, halfling, and ye'll have yerself a one-way ticket to the Abyss! |
| 53442 I've been there. It was nothing special. |
| 53443 Red, then. Might you have seen something like it, stranger? |
| 53444 No, I haven't. |
| 53445 Yes, uh... I have. But I don't remember where. |
| 53446 Moradin's breath! It must be about here somewhere! |
| 53447 See? I told ye all I have not lost me wits! It be close, just as I've been saying all along! |
| 53448 We'll look for it a while longer then, Bruenor, have no fear. We are not expected back in the Ten Towns for a fortnight yet. |
| 53449 Tell me, though, stranger... have we met before? I feel as though your face is familiar, but I cannot attach a time or place to it. Should I know you? |
| 53450 I killed you near Baldur's Gate the last time we met, and it's a shame you didn't stay dead. Time to rectify that! |
| 53451 Actually, the last time we met, I attacked you, near Baldur's Gate. |
| 53452 No, I don't think so. We've never met. |
| 53453 We met only briefly. I helped you defeat some gnolls near Baldur's Gate. |
| 53454 You?! The last time we fought, I was distracted and alone. Let us see how you do in a fair fight then, fiend! |
| 53455 That was you?! You ambushed me and stole my equipment, as I recall! It took a long time to track down my swords. I have a question, then, if that was truly you. |
| 53456 No? Perhaps I saw you near Baldur's Gate. Well, it matters not. A safe journey, stranger. If you are in need of nothing, my friends and I shall be on our way. |
| 53457 That was you? Well met, then. Forgive my apprehension... one must be wary in these parts, especially with the rumors that have been flying about. |
| 53458 That was you? Glad I am to meet you again, friend. It is good to see others of decent nature travel these roads, especially with all the rumors of danger. |
| 53459 If you are in need of assistance, I will be glad to offer it. If not, I will wish you well and we shall be on our way back to the far north. |
| 53460 We met only briefly. I helped you defeat some gnolls near Baldur's Gate. |
| 53461 I am in need of nothing at the moment. Farewell. |
| 53462 The mind flayer opens the door. |
| 53463 I have a proposal for you, Drizzt, if you will wait for a moment. |
| 53464 I have a proposal for you, Drizzt, if you will wait for a moment. |
| 53465 Hold on there, drow... you are not getting away from me so easily. I have decided that it is time for you to die. |
| 53466 No, I do not need anything. Farewell. |
| 53467 Hello, Sanik! The Lady Galvena sends her greeting. She dislikes being crossed. |
| 53468 I have a proposal for you, Drizzt, if you will hold a moment. |
| 53469 I have a proposal for you, Drizzt, if you will hold a moment. |
| 53470 I have a proposal for you, Drizzt, if you will hold a moment. |
| 53471 Hold on there, drow... you are not getting away from me so easily. I have decided that it is time for you to die. |
| 53472 Perhaps another time then. Come, my friends... the Ten Towns await our arrival. |
| 53473 You?! The girl is free, and you have no claim on her. Leave us be! |
| 53474 Have you changed so much since we met, or was that a lie? Either way, it matters not. Come, my friends... this <PRO_MANWOMAN> mistakes us for easy targets. |
| 53475 Free? Hardly. The Lady will not brook her property being stolen. You shall pay for your theft. |
| 53476 A proposal? Very well, stranger... I have no objections to hearing you out. If I can assist you, I will. |
| 53477 I am <CHARNAME> and I seek to defeat a vampire in Athkatla too powerful to face alone. Will you help? |
| 53478 I am <CHARNAME> and I seek to defeat a vampire in Athkatla too powerful to face alone. Will you help? |
| 53479 Actually, forget I said anything. |
| 53480 Only a powerful mind or godly strength will force this door open. |
| 53481 I... I am here to serve. |
| 53482 Speak not of my Claire as if she is an object! She is no longer Galvena's lackey! She is my love, and she is free of your foul touch! |
| 53483 I cannot be controlled! |
| 53484 We are here... and right you were, I think, in asking for our aid. These crypts crawl with the undead. This shall be a difficult battle for us all. |
| 53485 The paladins of the Order of the Radiant Heart are here to fight at your side, <CHARNAME>! Glorious shall our victory be if this great evil can be brought to an end! |
| 53486 The assassins are here to support your battle, <CHARNAME>, as the Shadowmaster has commanded. We will do what we can. |
| 53489 Understand this as you die, ever pathetic, ever fools! |
| 53490 Wh-what?! Kachiko! But... but she just died! If the dead can be turned so quickly by this creature, we must defeat her, <CHARNAME>, we must! |
| 53491 Elf |
| 53492 Hah! A romantic? Perhaps your death will serve some bard well. |
| 53493 I am here from the temple of the dawn to support you in this battle, <CHARNAME>. Let the forces of good and righteousness be victorious this day! |
| 53494 I am here from the temple of the Watcher, <CHARNAME>. We do a great service this day, protecting all of Athkatla from this evil cancer which grows in its breast! |
| 53495 I have come from the temple of the Stormlord, fool! We shall wreak great destruction on our enemies together! They shall rue the day they crossed our paths! |
| 53496 Greetings, <CHARNAME>. Drizzt and his friends remain in the crypts, I take it? He sent word they were to take on a great battle... it seems I have arrived late. |
| 53497 Good of you to fight such an evil, powerful creature. If Drizzt and the others have fallen, I suppose it will be up to me to revive them and collect their gear. |
| 53498 Ah! I forget myself! I am Malchor Harpell... an associate of Drizzt's. How rude of me to forget such a thing as simple courtesy. |
| 53499 Speaking of courtesy, I see you have collected some of the party's gear for them. Now that I am here to revive them, I will take their items for safekeeping. |
| 53500 Of course. Take them. |
| 53501 Hold on, now... how do I know you aren't here to steal this stuff? |
| 53502 Forget it. I'm keeping everything I took. |
| 53503 Thank you. Now I shall go below and see what I can do. Good day to you, my good <PRO_LADYLORD>, and pleasant journeys. |
| 53504 And how do I know that is not what you intended, hm? You will simply have to take my word for it, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 53505 Very well, then. Take the items. |
| 53506 Forget it. I'm not giving these to anyone. |
| 53507 *sigh* Well, if you *must* be this way. I have no time for such nonsense at the moment. |
| 53508 Now... I shall go below and see what has happened to the drow and the others. Perhaps some made it out alive? We shall have to see. |
| 53509 Greetings, friend. I am Sanik. You must be new to fair Brynnlaw. Whom do I have the pleasure of addressing? |
| 53510 Ah! Greetings again, <CHARNAME>. I see you have some of the items from Drizzt and his party. Obviously, this was why I couldn't find them the first time! |
| 53511 Kindly hand them over, and I will restore them to their proper owners. If you find any more, just leave them be. I will track them soon enough. |
| 53512 Elf |
| 53513 Very well... take them. |
| 53514 Forget it! I'm keeping them! |
| 53515 Wh-what has happened to the queen? She has been taken, hasn't she?! |
| 53516 Thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Once again, do not disturb any other items you find. I've a dweomer that leads me to them. I *don't* want to have to track you down again. |
| 53517 I'm not going to put up with this much longer. If I catch you with any of their items again, you will regret it, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Enough of this! |
| 53518 It is... it is the Exile! The Exile has returned! |
| 53519 Greetings! Allow me to introduce myself; I am Malchor Harpell, a friend of Drizzt. I see you have some of his belongings... you will hand them over directly. |
| 53520 Forget it! I took them and I'm keeping them! |
| 53521 Monsters! There are monsters everywhere in Suldanessellar! |
| 53522 I am <GABBER>. I've just recently arrived from Athkatla. |
| 53523 Very well... take them. |
| 53524 Oh, bother. If you insist on the hard way, then I'll do it the hard way. If I catch you with any more of those items, however, I shall not be so patient. |
| 53525 It is none of your affair. Excuse me. |
| 53526 I've been told that you might be able to give me some information that I require. |
| 53527 Thank you. I won't discuss how you acquired these, but if I catch you with any more, I will be far less patient. You understand, yes? Good. |
| 53528 Welcome then! There will soon be a vacancy here in town, for I intend to leave at the earliest opportunity. |
| 53529 All right, I've had quite enough of you. It's time to put you where you'll do no harm so I can collect what I am looking for without your interference. |
| 53530 We are betrayed! The fool <CHARNAME> attacks?! Fall back, paladins, fall back! |
| 53531 Truly? What is it that causes you to flee? |
| 53532 What?! The fool <PRO_MANWOMAN> attacks us even as we aid <PRO_HIMHER>?! Let us leave <PRO_HIMHER> to <PRO_HISHER> fate then! |
| 53533 I wish you a fair journey then. Now, if you'll excuse me. |
| 53534 Away! Flee! <CHARNAME> has turned on us! We will be overwhelmed! |
| 53535 What?! <CHARNAME> orders us attacked?! Let us leave this place if treachery is what we receive here! |
| 53536 I was told that you might be able to provide information for me. |
| 53537 The fool attacks those who fight by <PRO_HISHER> side?! Bah! We leave you to your doom, then! |
| 53538 You dare to turn on us, <CHARNAME>! You will suffer the wrath of the Shadow Thieves for this, if you even survive this place! |
| 53539 Rillifane! Rillifane save us, I beg you! |
| 53542 As you say. Farewell, then. |
| 53544 Apparition |
| 53545 That depends on what it is that you wish to know. I am but a simple merchant and trader. |
| 53546 Hail, good friend <CHARNAME>! I am most pleased to see you here, you of all people! Your timing could not be better, as I am in most dire need! |
| 53547 Coran? What are *you* doing here? |
| 53548 "Good friend"? Coran, when I last talked to you, I thought I told you to stay out of my business. |
| 53549 Coran? Shouldn't you be dead? |
| 53550 I remember killing you, thief... if it didn't stick the first time, I'll be happy to repeat the deed. |
| 53551 Who are you? Are we supposed to know each other? |
| 53552 It *has* been a while. I got bored and tried to find you, but I lost you after your victory in Baldur's Gate... You seemed to drop off the face of Faerûn. |
| 53553 Djinni Painting |
| 53554 I did not intentionally seek you, my friend. I saw you here, and I am desperate for help, despite whatever past, uh, differences we may have had... |
| 53555 Djinni Painting |
| 53556 Troll Painting |
| 53557 Well, perhaps, but a, ah, former lady friend missed my company and paid for resurrection. Glad I was to be alive, although I missed traveling with you. |
| 53558 Troll Painting |
| 53559 A former, ah, lady friend paid for my return, and I forgive you your bout of temper. Just water under the bridge between friends, right? Heh heh... |
| 53560 Mind Flayer Painting |
| 53561 Do you trade with the asylum? |
| 53562 Mind Flayer Painting |
| 53563 Umber Hulk Painting |
| 53564 I know of you... and I know of your skills. Perhaps we are kindred spirits, and as I am in desperate need, I'm more than willing to call you friend! |
| 53565 I wish to enter the asylum. I have reason to believe that a friend of mine is held there. |
| 53566 But what is important is that I was traveling my Forest of Tethir with my beloved Safana... if you remember her... and now she is kidnapped! It is dreadful! |
| 53567 Perhaps I have bothered the wrong person. Excuse me. |
| 53568 Umber Hulk Painting |
| 53569 "Flee" is not a word I like. It is merely a misunderstanding with a local guildmistress. My new wife and I shall take an extended trip until things settle. |
| 53570 Two days ago, we were beset by giant wolves... wolfweres, I fear. They tried to take us both, but I was able to escape. Safana, however, was not so fortunate. |
| 53571 What treachery is this? Who are you? |
| 53572 I tracked them to an encampment near here, but even a great warrior such as myself cannot beat them alone. I hoped *someone* to come along... and here you are! |
| 53573 We must save her and strike a blow against the foul werebeasts, <CHARNAME>! Together, we shall be unstoppable! What do you say, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 53574 Spellhold? I supply them with their basic needs, such as food and spell components. Some sort of magic is being planned for the place. The orders have recently increased manyfold. |
| 53575 Very well, I will help you. Where is this encampment? |
| 53576 I cannot help you right now, Coran. |
| 53577 I need to gain entrance to the place. Do you have any idea how I might do so? |
| 53578 I'm not going to lift a finger to save Safana. What are you even doing with her?! |
| 53579 What do you suppose is happening there? |
| 53580 Forget it. You're on your own. I'm not getting involved in any of your schemes, Coran. |
| 53581 Perhaps so, if the need is true. There is little to worry about, for I must vacate the town very soon. |
| 53582 I say it's time for you to die, you idiotic elf. You should have known better than to show your face again! |
| 53583 From what do you flee? |
| 53584 Excellent! The wolfweres are east of here. I will go there and wait for you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Do not take long; I do not know their plans for my beloved! |
| 53585 I don't know and, to be frank, I care even less. My business with Spellhold is finished, for I must leave town rather quickly. |
| 53586 From what do you flee? |
| 53587 What could be more important than saving the life of a fair damsel in distress? Ah, do as you must, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, but I must go to check on my beloved. |
| 53588 If you change your mind, the encampment is east of this place. I beg you to come as soon as you can... I do not know how long my beloved will survive! |
| 53589 Could you be so cruel, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? Safana is a gentle, caring woman at heart. She does not deserve this death! I must go and see if she yet lives! |
| 53590 So you return, my friend. Be quick, if you please, for I must leave town in but a short time. |
| 53591 This is more important than petty jealousy, <CHARNAME>! A gentle woman's life is at stake! I must go alone, if you will not help, and see if she yet lives! |
| 53592 From what do you flee? |
| 53593 I have been told that you may be able to provide me with the information that I seek. |
| 53594 By Umberlee's teat! Who does Galvena think she is? Assassinations in the Vulgar Monkey! That uppity wench! |
| 53595 Innkeep! You seem to know something of this. Why has this man been killed? |
| 53596 You! You intrude on my domain, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 53597 Huh? What do you care? You've only just met him. |
| 53598 That is my business. Who was the assassin, and why did he perform this foul deed? |
| 53599 I have need of information that only he could have given me. Tell me what you know! |
| 53600 Aye, if only to teach the woman to keep her affairs out of my tavern, I will tell you what I know. |
| 53601 No, no! This is the one I told you about, Lanfear! This is <CHARNAME>! Kill <PRO_HIMHER> and the wizard will reward you and your pack with riches beyond your dreams! |
| 53602 saved game |
| 53603 The assassin was sent by Lady Galvena, the mistress of the local courtesan's guild. You can see how, in a port full of sailors, such an undertaking would bring the woman power and wealth. |
| 53604 character file |
| 53605 Select the type of file to import from. Note that characters will lose any scroll cases, bags of holding, and gem bags that they had. |
| 53606 This? This is the creature you spoke of? Bah! You said that Coran would accompany <PRO_HIMHER>! You said Coran would bring <PRO_HIMHER> to me! |
| 53607 So much is obvious. What disagreement did she have with Sanik? |
| 53608 This? I care nothing for the wizard or his riches! You said Coran would accompany <PRO_HIMHER>! You said Coran would bring <PRO_HIMHER> because you were captive! Where is Coran?! |
| 53609 Coran is dead, beast, and you will follow soon enough! |
| 53610 You have told all that I wish to know. |
| 53611 Eh? That tale has barely begun. |
| 53612 Still, that is all that I wish to hear. |
| 53613 What...? My darling Safana... what have you done? |
| 53614 In that case, please continue. |
| 53615 Don't be a fool, Coran. Why do you think I insisted we come down here? It was to find <CHARNAME>! Do you have any idea of the bounty that is on <PRO_HISHER> head?! |
| 53616 As you like. |
| 53617 Safana, no! I won't let you do this! |
| 53618 Sanik, the fool, fell in love with one of Galvena's girls, Claire, and she with him. He took her from the guild house and proclaimed her his wife. |
| 53619 Just get out of the way, moron! Lanfear... kill <CHARNAME>, as per our agreement! |
| 53620 I do not follow your orders, human witch! I care nothing for this bounty! All I wished for was that Coran would come to me at last! |
| 53621 Galvena is a harsh woman. She considers the courtesans her property. She accused Sanik of theft, and he scorned her in public. The whole town knows of it. |
| 53622 No! Kill <PRO_HIMHER> now! I demand it! |
| 53623 You demand nothing from me! I curse you with oblivion, human! |
| 53624 This, then, was Galvena's reply. I suspect that the girl, Claire, suffers even as we speak. |
| 53625 Truly, an injustice has been performed. Where is this girl, Claire? |
| 53626 No! Safana, my love! |
| 53627 Sanik was my contact in Brynnlaw. Who else could tell me how to get into the asylum? |
| 53628 Do not wail for the human, my Coran... she betrayed you and never loved you. Not as I do. |
| 53629 The guild has a house on the west side of Brynnlaw. Customers who pay well can conduct their "business" in a bedroom within the guild house. I suspect that Galvena has already taken the girl there to be punished. |
| 53630 This is the Exile's doing! |
| 53631 Is the place guarded? How would I enter? |
| 53632 Is there anyone else who could tell me how to get into Spellhold, the asylum? |
| 53633 You... you *love* me? How is it that a... a beast *loves* me? |
| 53634 You do not recognize me, my love? No... not in this form. We have lain together once before, you and I, my love... and I have sought you out ever since. |
| 53635 If you're sure that Sanik knew how, then perhaps he told his young bride. I don't see how you can ask her, though. |
| 53636 You avoided capture by my hounds... but I caught your woman, and her wicked plan served my needs far more than hers! Come to me, my Coran... let us be together at long last! |
| 53637 Where would they have taken her? |
| 53638 I will not! I would never take part in such foulness, creature! Safana was my beloved! <CHARNAME>, destroy this murderess and all of her vile pack! |
| 53639 I thank you for your assistance. I shall leave. |
| 53640 Very well, Coran... if I cannot have you, then *no one* shall! |
| 53641 Well, actually I was growing rather fond of <CHARNAME>. Old times and such. I remember loving her once, and since Safana is dead, well... you know... |
| 53642 No! You would choose HER over ME?! Damn you, fickle man! I curse you to death! Join your Safana! And this one whose name is mine shall join you soon enough! |
| 53643 You could get in as everyone else does. As a paying customer. Galvena keeps both male and female courtesans for either taste. |
| 53644 Failing that, you would have to kill several well-trained guards. I also hear that Galvena keeps a pet wizard. Either way is foolish, in my opinion. |
| 53645 Is there anyone else that could tell me how to get into the Spellhold asylum? |
| 53646 Well, *that's* a relief, at least. I was getting so tired of him; you have no idea. |
| 53647 I thank you for your help. I shall leave. |
| 53648 NOOO! Dead?! NO! I care NOTHING for your bounty, witch! I took you only to draw Coran to me! You may join him in death, witch. I *curse* you... and the one who killed him shall follow! |
| 53649 Quickly! Go and confront the creatures within, and I shall follow! Poor Safana's life hangs in the balance! |
| 53650 No! My... Safana is dead?! I could not save her?! Ooooh... I must... leave you, <CHARNAME>. I cannot bear to show you my anguish! I must be alone! |
| 53651 I... I thank you for your aid, <CHARNAME>. It pains me that I was blind to Safana's true nature, and I... I apologize for endangering you with my ignorance. |
| 53652 Now you die, you idiotic elf! I'll not deal with you any longer! |
| 53653 That's all right, Coran. Better that you know now. |
| 53654 If you've nowhere to go, Coran, why don't you travel with me? |
| 53655 Fine. This is where we part ways now. |
| 53656 Oh, as you wish. But *really*, this is *such* a bother. |
| 53657 Ah, perhaps I should drown my sorrows in a keg of wine and a few buxom lasses, eh? Athkatla is not far... I hear it's a beautiful place. Farewell, <CHARNAME>! |
| 53658 I'm sure you have some valiant battle ahead of you. I am tempted, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, truly, but... no. I think I shall drown my sorrow in wine and ladies for a time. |
| 53659 I think Athkatla is near. They say it is quite beautiful. Or perhaps Zazesspur. Wherever fate takes me, I suppose. Until we meet again, <CHARNAME>... |
| 53660 This would be my cue to leave. Farewell, <CHARNAME>! Good luck! |
| 53661 So... so many have died! So many! |
| 53662 The Tree of Life! 'Tis the Tree that must be saved, before any of us! |
| 53663 Rillifane! Rillifane save us, I beg you! |
| 53666 We shall never surrender the heartwoods. |
| 53667 For Queen Ellesime, we shall fight to the death. |
| 53668 The dark ones shall never conquer us. |
| 53669 The Seldarine watch over us... Victory shall be ours this day. |
| 53673 Through destiny and might, we shall rule supreme! |
| 53674 At your command! |
| 53675 Victory for the Spider Queen! |
| 53676 The best surfacer is a dead surfacer! |
| 53677 In the name of Lolth, we fight! |
| 53680 Hello, me good smilin' friends! |
| 53681 I've a beverage of every flavor available for your perusal at the Five Flagons, yes indeedy, I do! |
| 53682 There's a theater downstairs if ya like... but don't forget a mug of spiced wine before ya go! |
| 53683 At the Five Flagons, ticklin' your palate is our pleasure! |
| 53686 Isaea Roenall |
| 53687 I am quite through with you for the moment. |
| 53688 For the honor of my name! |
| 53689 Lava burst |
| 53690 This unholy pool is filled with fresh human blood. You are nearly overcome with horror at the thought of the vampires' savagery. |
| 53691 You pour one of Elhan's vials of holy water into the pool, and the result is immediate. The pool churns violently for a few moments and then calms, cleansed of evil. |
| 53696 The pool has been cleansed, and the vampires can no longer draw energy from the blood. |
| 53697 Elven Holy Water |
| 53698 Elven Holy Water |
| 53703 Bodhi's voice rings out in your head: "Naught but the blood of my kindred shall give you access. Only if all of my sons and daughters die will we meet again, <CHARNAME>." |
| 53710 My mistress bids you welcome, <CHARNAME>. |
| 53711 I greet you. |
| 53712 Do not do this, I beg of you! |
| 53719 I am a lady of refinement and taste. |
| 53727 The will of Talos is all-important. Heed... or die. |
| 53728 The Stormlord take ye! |
| 53742 This is an illithid birthing pod. An empty bottle lies beside the pod. If you wish, you could gather some of the contents of the birthing pod into it. |
| 53744 The Morninglord welcomes you to his sight. |
| 53745 You create a brine potion. |
| 53746 The dawn rejects you! Die in darkness! |
| 53750 I will not tolerate the presence of outsiders, no matter who they are or what they intend to do for our cause. The risk is too great. |
| 53751 Do what you must, but do it far from here. I will believe your intentions when all is right again. |
| 53752 And keep that drow out of my sight. Her very breath is an insult to me. |
| 53753 You will not speak to me, drow. You live only because of the company you keep. |
| 53754 Yes, yes, I do. It is not quite done yet though. |
| 53755 You monster, you would deal with someone that makes armor from skin?! |
| 53756 It ends! All is lost! |
| 53757 The skins were exquisite, but now there must be blood. You know what I need. Bring me the blood of a dragon. A silver dragon. |
| 53758 With the kobold avatar slain, you are easily able to take a piece of the crystal. All is silent except for a faint, mournful wail, barely discernible. |
| 53759 You are a fiend! Silver dragons are good and true! To kill one would be heinous. |
| 53760 Certainly... ah, any idea where I might find one? |
| 53761 Consider it done. |
| 53762 I already have the blood. |
| 53763 Master! Nooooo! |
| 53764 None whatsoever. You are the artist; you find one. |
| 53765 Good, good. I will await you here. Bring me the blood and the armor, and I will make you a suit fit for the darkest of kings. |
| 53766 Well now, how enterprising of you. I am impressed. Let us see if you have everything you need then. |
| 53767 I have both the blood and the armor. |
| 53768 I have the blood, but not the armor. |
| 53769 It was quite a fight, but I prevailed. Here is both the blood and the armor. |
| 53770 Yes, yes, just finish the damn suit. |
| 53771 I cannot believe I have done this. You are a monster to have asked for such things! |
| 53772 I have some associates that wish to speak with you. Well, not so much speak. More like kill. |
| 53773 Death Curse |

| 53776 Sekolah's Tooth |
| 53777 Sekolah's Tooth |
| 53778 The odd device overwhelms you, causing you to become the Slayer once more... and forcing upon you an urge, a desire... the elder brain is calling you... |
| 53779 A powerful force prevents a mere *mortal* from opening this door. |
| 53780 The most disturbing loss was the ranger Merella. She disappeared after searching for the first person to go missing, some peasant. |
| 53781 Her cabin was in the southwest, though I don't know what you would find there. Don't much care, really. |
| 53783 This brilliant gem is of an indeterminate origin, constantly shifting colors from bright blues and violets to black and even shades of gray. It obviously came from the pommel of a sword, perhaps a specific one. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 53784 Surfacers! Feel our wrath! |
| 53785 The Shark God take you! |
| 53786 I shall taste your blood, manlings! |
| 53788 The prince's base lies at the far end of the city, beyond a chamber with two great doors. Long ago, Sekolah appeared there and slew a thousand infidels. |
| 53789 He decreed no heretic should again enter the city and sealed the doors. He placed his tooth upon the doors so that we could open them. Later, the drow came. |
| 53790 With powerful magics, they stormed the city, led by a mage of great strength. He took Sekolah's Tooth from our lax guardians with the intent of blocking pursuit. |
| 53791 The mage built an edifice in the southwest section of the city. He was killed, but his complex remains. Sekolah's Tooth is guarded somewhere within... |
| 53792 We have little need for it... the ocean is the means of our travel. But you need it. Seek out the drow's construct, foil his guardians, and obtain the key. |
| 53793 I shall enter the drow section and obtain the key. |
| 53794 Excellent. This brings me to the next point. You must do something for me. |
| 53795 Could you please explain again how I might enter the rebel encampment? |
| 53796 Enter the drow structure in the southwest corner of the city. From the throne room, follow the southern stairs. Obtain Sekolah's Tooth to pass through the doors. Remember our agreement and keep the orb with you. |
| 53797 The inscription on the door reads: But by the Tooth of Sekolah, none shall pass. |
| 53798 Ooh, this face is boring. Now I'm... |
| 53799 A doggie! Hee hee. |
| 53800 Um... a kitty! Whee! |
| 53801 Ah... I'm a wolf! |
| 53802 Ooooh, now I'm... A bear! |
| 53803 Now... I'm a chicken! |
| 53804 Now... now I'm you. Hello. |
| 53805 Lil monkey spanker. |
| 53806 Well met! Are you looking for bit of fun? You seem to be a REAL man... |
| 53807 In fact, I am looking for a girl named Claire. I believe she's in your line of business. |
| 53808 I could use a bit of fun. What did you have in mind? |
| 53809 Why don't you tell me how I might get into your guild house? I have business to discuss with Lady Galvena. |
| 53810 I'm not supposed to talk about that, dear. You don't want to get me into trouble, do you? |
| 53811 You have disturbed Tiax the Grand again! Such insolence! Tiax will place a mark of shame upon your forehead! ALL will know your treachery! |
| 53812 Eh... it would appear that... the great and... mighty Tiax... has shrunk his undergarments... three sizes this day. |
| 53813 Excuse... the mighty Tiax... while he catches his... his breath... He will rule... later. |
| 53814 When Tiax rules, britches will not ride up so wedge-like. |
| 53815 Memos! I must direct the asylum from here! Take a memo! |
| 53816 This grubby note is written with something other than ink, but you don't want to think about that too much. It is indecipherable. The author was certainly insane.

| 53817 Yes, that ought to clear everything up. |

| 53819 I used to have me pretties. Some are hidden... where only I can see. You want to see? |
| 53820 Oh, no more today. Maybe tomorrow. Pretties from the far away. |
| 53821 Kuo-toan Captain |
| 53822 Worry not. Anything that you tell me will not go beyond this. |
| 53823 I shall tell no one of what you tell me. |
| 53824 Of course not. You mentioned a good time? What did you have in mind? |
| 53825 In that case, why don't you tell me how I might get into your guild house? I have business to discuss with Lady Galvena. |
| 53826 For a reasonable fee, we could retire to my chambers at the guild house. There, we shall explore the depths of our newfound friendship. |
| 53827 How much would this cost me? |
| 53828 Instead of that, why don't you just tell me how I might get into your guild house without a purchase? I have business to discuss with Lady Galvena. |
| 53829 That sounds interesting, but perhaps you could pique my interest even more if you tell me about a girl named Claire. I believe that she is in your line of work. |
| 53830 Perhaps a bit of coin could loosen your tongue. |
| 53831 Without cause, there is no way in other than storming the place. However, you simply need to buy my services, and we shall retire to my room within. You won't be allowed to wander, of course, but you will be within. |
| 53832 How much will this cost? |
| 53833 That sounds interesting, but perhaps you could pique my interest even more if you tell me about a girl named Claire. I believe that she is in your line of work. |
| 53834 Is there no other way? Surely there must be some way to gain entry. |
| 53835 'Allo, darling. Sure you wouldn't fancy joinin' me in me chambers for a bit of fun an' all that? The ladies say I've hands that will melt away yer worries! |
| 53836 You promise that you shall tell no one that I have given this information to you? |
| 53837 I promise. |
| 53838 Cor, a lass like you could use a good man to keep ye company, aye? Just a few coins an' I'm all yours! |
| 53839 I promise. |
| 53840 Very well. Give me 200 gold. I am risking my life by telling you this and can accept no less. |
| 53841 Here is your gold. What happened to Claire? |
| 53842 I don't have enough money. |
| 53843 It is hard to put a value on truly pleasing company such as my own. Let us say 100 gold. |
| 53844 That's ridiculous! I will not pay! |
| 53845 Very well. Here is your payment. Shall we? |
| 53846 Come now, me dear... ye don't want Galvena t' whip me fer not making me quota, aye? Just one night of pleasure fer ye an' I'm in the clear t' boot! |
| 53847 Oh, move on, then. There are fellas who'd appreciate some time with ye, but I ain't one of 'em. |
| 53848 I'm afraid that I don't have enough coin. |
| 53849 I'm afraid that I cannot be of service to you. |
| 53850 You wouldn't happen t' know of a decent lass who's in need of a bit o' company, would ye? Send 'er to me, aye? |
| 53851 In that case, I need to gain entrance to your guild house. I have to speak with Lady Galvena. |
| 53852 I thank you for your time. Farewell. |
| 53853 Well, all of the masters have medallions of Galvena's symbol. They are allowed to come and go as they please. |
| 53854 Hmm. Even if I had a medallion, surely the guards would realize that I don't work for Galvena. |
| 53855 Where could one come by a medallion such as this? |
| 53856 A fine day to ye, pretty lady. Would ye care for a decent night o' pleasure in me arms? 'Tis only a meager cost, for so much, aye? |
| 53857 Actually, I'm looking for a girl named Claire. Perhaps you know her? |
| 53858 I might be up for that. What do you have in mind? |
| 53859 I'd prefer to know how to get into your guild house. I have business to discuss with Lady Galvena. |
| 53860 Aye, I know who ye're talking about, miss. But I'm not one to go on gabbin' about things I shouldn't. Miss Galvena wouldn't permit it. |
| 53861 Lady Galvena is nowhere about to hear you, and I'll not be the one to tell her. |
| 53862 Lady Galvena won't know you said anything... you can trust me, friend. |
| 53863 All right, then. You mentioned something about a good time... what did you have in mind? |
| 53864 Then tell me how to get inside your guild house. There are things I would like to discuss with Lady Galvena. |
| 53865 Perhaps some gold might make you more willing to talk? |
| 53866 I could take ye up to me own chambers in the guild house, miss, and show ye the skills that makes me in such demand. Fer just a small fee, mind ye. |
| 53867 What kind of "small fee" are we talking about? |
| 53868 Perhaps you could tell me about someone named Claire instead. Maybe you know her? |
| 53869 Is there some way I could get into the guild house on my own? I have business to discuss with Lady Galvena. |
| 53870 The guild house be fer guildfolk only. Hire me, lass, and I could take ye up to me room within. Ye wouldn't be wanderin' about, but ye'd be inside. |
| 53871 And how much would hiring you cost? |
| 53872 Actually, I'm more interested in discussing a girl named Claire. Perhaps you know her? |
| 53873 Farewell! Come and see me again sometime. |
| 53874 Are you sure? Is there no other way in? |
| 53875 Are you sure? Is there no other way in? |
| 53876 It is more than I am willing to pay. |
| 53877 It is too dangerous... I could be killed for telling you... |
| 53878 Well... I suppose I could tell ye about the lass, but it means me hide an' more if this be found out. Pay me 200 gp, miss, an' it'll be worth me while. |
| 53879 Excuse me. I must be going. |
| 53880 Very well. I shall leave you be. |
| 53881 200 gp?! That's an outrageous amount! |
| 53882 Claire was married to Sanik the Trader. He was going to take her away with him on the next ship out, but he didn't count on Lady Galvena's nature. She killed him and took Claire from the docks where she waited. |
| 53883 Very well... take it and tell me what happened to Claire. |
| 53884 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 53885 What would Galvena have done with Claire? |
| 53886 How about I smash your skull in if you don't tell me and be quick about it?! |
| 53887 Well... ye seems like a fine sort. An' Sune knows it be an awful thing what Miss Galvena has done to the lass. Fine, I'll tell ye what happened to Claire. |
| 53888 She has... cells in the guild house. A cruel dark prison where she places those who displease her. Claire could be there, or she could already be dead. Galvena does not allow us to leave. |
| 53889 Medallion of Galvena |
| 53890 Claire's boyo was determined to take 'er away, see? He told off Miss Galvena, said he were takin' Claire to a better place and that were all there was to it. |
| 53891 Then I shall need to enter the guild house. How would I do this? |
| 53892 Poor Claire believed 'im, too... believed that Miss Galvena might not do anythin' about it. Silly lass. Miss Galvena doesn't let none of us go. |
| 53893 Claire were waitin' outside the guild house fer her boyo, but Miss Galvena had him killed, an' she took Claire inside the guild house. Has her locked up inside. |
| 53894 I don't claim t' know what Miss Galvena's going to do to Claire, but 'tis a terrible thing, t' be sure. No one stands up t' Miss Galvena an' gets away with it. |
| 53895 How do I get into the guild house, then? I need to speak to her. |
| 53896 I plan on standing up to her. I'll kill her, if I get the chance. |
| 53897 We shall! If anyone should need to wait for you, they are free to wait in Lady Galvena's Parlor. Let us go. |
| 53898 200 gp?! That's an outrageous amount! |
| 53899 Lady Galvena is always bringing in new employees and guards. If you had a medallion you could, perhaps, bluff your way in. |
| 53900 Well, heh... I be a man o' no mean skill, if ye know what I mean. For 100 gp, I could show ye a pleasant time ye won't soon forget, m'lady. |
| 53901 Fine. Here's 100 gp. Let's go to your room in the guild house, then. |
| 53902 100 gp?! That's an outrageous sum! |
| 53903 100 gp is an awfully large sum. Is there no way to pay less? |
| 53904 I'm afraid I don't have that much on me. |
| 53905 How about instead of me crushing your skull, you just take me to your room in the guild house, all right? |
| 53906 Well... I suppose there might be a way in. But Miss Galvena would have me killed if she found out. Pay me 200 gp, an' it'll be worth me while. |
| 53907 200 gp?! That's an outlandish amount! |
| 53908 Medallion of Galvena |
| 53909 Here's 200 gp, then. Tell me how to get in. |
| 53910 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 53911 Tell me how to get inside, or you're going to regret it. |
| 53912 O' course not! Ye comes in as a customer, or ye don't comes in at all. Miss Galvena watches us like a hawk... I'm not sticking me neck out fer nothing. |
| 53913 Fine, then. How much does it cost for me to be a customer? |
| 53914 How about we talk about something else, then? Do you know someone named Claire? |
| 53915 I really need to get inside. Would some gold change your mind? |
| 53916 Tell me how to get inside, or you're going to regret it. |
| 53917 Forget it, then. Thanks for nothing. |
| 53918 200 gp?! That's an outlandish amount! |
| 53919 Hmph. I could lose me tongue fer speakin' of such things, an' ye wish to haggle about it? It be 200 gp or it be nothing, miss. Take yer pick. |
| 53920 Here is 200 gp, then. What happened to Claire? |
| 53921 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 53922 Tell me what I want to know, or you'll have more things to worry about than just losing your tongue. |
| 53923 Tell me about the guild house, then. Is there a way I can get inside? |
| 53924 Forget it. I'll be going. |
| 53925 Then we don't have any business t' discuss, miss. I can't help ye. Best ye be on yer way, for I haves a long day ahead o' me. |
| 53926 As opposed to what? As opposed to what Miss Galvena will have done t' me fer sayin' anything? Hmph. Do as ye wish, then, miss, 'cause I'll have none of it. |
| 53927 Where, then, could I find one of these medallions? |
| 53928 Thank you for your assistance. |
| 53929 All of the courtesan masters have them. Mostly, the masters stay in the guild house. But wait! Chremy has been out for the last few days. |
| 53930 If ye wants to be walkin' around the guild house, ye'll need a medallion. All o' Miss Galvena's courtesan masters wear them. 'Tis how the guards recognize 'em. |
| 53931 Wait a minute... wouldn't they know that I didn't work for Lady Galvena anyway, medallion or no? |
| 53932 How would I get one of these medallions? |
| 53933 Who is Chremy? |
| 53934 As a matter of fact, I've already killed Chremy. |
| 53935 He's one of the crueler masters. He's been out of the guild to keep an eye on the new girl, Ginia. Poor girl, she only just "joined" the guild. Chremy has been very harsh on her. |
| 53936 Even if I had Chremy's medallion, wouldn't the guards know that I don't work there? |
| 53937 Aye? I'd be willing to take a chance on that, miss. I'd give a lot t' be free o' Miss Galvena. I can maybe help ye get inside the guild house, I think. |
| 53938 I can get ye into me room. But once ye leaves, ye'll be dealin' with the guards. If ye want to move about secret-like, I can help with that as well. Yer choice. |
| 53939 I don't care about being seen. I just need to get inside. |
| 53940 Tell me how to go about the guild house secretly, then. |
| 53941 Right-o. Follow me, then, me dear. It isn't far from here... your friends can come too, if they like to watch. |
| 53942 Well, that's the charge, luv. I charge ye much less an' Miss Galvena would take it all, an' then where would I be? |
| 53943 Fine. 100 gp it is. Let's go to your room in the guild house. |
| 53944 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 53945 Let's talk about something else, then. Do you know someone named Claire? |
| 53946 All I really want is to get inside the guild house. Is there no way to do that? |
| 53947 Forget it, then. |
| 53948 All I want is to get inside the guild house. Is there no way of doing that? |
| 53949 How about we discuss something else, then? Do you know someone named Claire, perhaps? |
| 53950 Fine, then, I'll go. |
| 53951 Aye, maybe, fer a pretty face like yers. 50 gp, then... but I can go no lower. I haves t' pay Miss Galvena, ye know. |
| 53952 Very well. 50 gp it is. Let's go to your room in the guild house. |
| 53953 Thank you for the information. |
| 53954 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 53955 Let's talk about something else, then. Do you know someone named Claire? |
| 53956 All I really want is to get inside the guild house. Is there no way to do that? |
| 53957 Forget it, then. |
| 53958 Hmph. I don't go fer any o' that rough trade, miss. Best take that kind o' talk elsewhere lest ye run headfirst into Miss Galvena's men. Now bugger off. |
| 53959 Ye thinks I wish to part with me tongue? I've no wish to anger Miss Galvena, miss... ye wants me t' say anything, it's 200 gp and that be all there is to it. |
| 53960 Fine. Here's 200 gp. Tell me how to get in. |
| 53961 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 53962 Maybe I could go in with you... how much do you charge? |
| 53963 Let's talk about something else, then. Do you know someone named Claire? |
| 53964 Tell me what I want to know, or you'll lose more than your tongue. |
| 53965 Ahhh, all I be worried about, really, is Miss Galvena findin' out, miss. Does ye promise not to tell anyone I said anythin'? |
| 53966 I promise. |
| 53967 I'm not promising anything. |
| 53968 On yer way, then. |
| 53969 Oh, Miss Galvena be hirin' new masters all the time. Ye could bluff yer way past the guards if ye had a medallion on ye. |
| 53970 So how do I get one of these medallions, then? |
| 53971 Aye now, that's tough. All o' the courtesan masters have one, but they mostly stays in the guild house. But Chremy be out an' about. Ye could gets one from 'im. |
| 53972 Who is Chremy? |
| 53973 Ah, him... I already killed him, actually. |
| 53974 I remember him. You mean a medallion like this? |
| 53975 It is no more than he deserved. Use his medallion. |
| 53976 Even with a medallion, would the guards not know that I do not work there? |
| 53977 Thank you for the information. |
| 53978 M'lord. Here we are. |
| 53979 Fine. Now tell me where I can find Claire. |
| 53980 Excellent. How can I move about without alerting the guards? |
| 53981 Good. Stay here. I must find Lady Galvena and, if the Lady is cooperative, Claire. |
| 53982 She is in serious trouble. If Lady Galvena has allowed her to live, I suspect that she's in the prison at the end of the hall. It is guarded well, however, and locked. |
| 53983 He be one of the crueler masters, he is. I hear he's been watchin' the new lass, Ginia. Poor girl. Chremy doesn't trust her a wink, an' she's done nothin'. |
| 53984 I remember him. I killed him already. |
| 53985 Is there anything that I can do about the guards? |
| 53986 I remember him. Are you talking about this medallion? |
| 53987 Is there anything that I can do about the guards? |
| 53988 So if I find this Chremy and take his medallion, I should be able to get inside? |
| 53989 Hmph. It be no more than he deserved, really. Does ye have his medallion, then? |
| 53990 No, I don't. If I go and find the medallion, then, will it allow me to get inside? |
| 53991 I think so. Is this it? |
| 53992 Aye, that be it, sure enough. |
| 53993 Now... ye can either use that to bluff yer way past the guards, or I can take ye up to me room, pretendin' ye're a customer. That way, ye starts from within. |
| 53994 Where might the key be found? |
| 53995 Without a medallion, there is no way that they would let you pass. You would have to kill them. I must say, if you wish to free Claire, you put me in great danger. |
| 53996 I think I'll go in on my own. |
| 53997 All right... take me inside, then. |
| 53998 All ye needs to do now is take it to the guards at the door. They should let you in, I thinks, without too much trouble. |
| 53999 Worry not. I shall bring this guild to its knees and free you as well. |
| 54000 What do I care? You are nothing. I need Claire for the information that she could provide. |
| 54001 Aye. Track 'im down. Ye may want to come back to me, an' I'll tell ye if it's the right one. Never know how much jewelry a masher like Chremy'll have, aye? |
| 54002 You have a medallion that identifies you as a member of Lady Galvena's guild. If you are a convincing liar, you may be able to walk about without the guards attacking you on sight. |
| 54003 Still, they would neither allow you access to the prison nor to Lady Galvena's room. Unless... |
| 54004 Fine. I'll do that... thanks. |
| 54005 Wait a minute... why don't you take me up to your room? That way I only have to deal with guards on the inside. |
| 54006 Right then. Remember, miss... I had nothing to do with ye. |
| 54007 Take ye up to me room? Ahhh... I don't want to involve meself anymore than I needs to. If Miss Galvena finds out, it's me death! |
| 54008 How about 100 gp? Will that change your mind? |
| 54009 I will deal with Lady Galvena... you won't have to worry about her anymore, if that's the only problem. |
| 54010 Fine, then. I'll go inside on my own. |
| 54011 Look, take me up there or I'll do much worse than Lady Galvena. |
| 54012 Ye would do that? Ehhh... I'd be willing to risk a lot to be free of her, sure enough. Very well then, miss... I'll bring ye to me room inside. |
| 54013 Look, miss... I'll take ye up, if ye wish. But only if ye uses all yer skills to deal with Miss Galvena. Permanent-like. Ye'll be doin' a lot of people a favor. |
| 54014 I can do that. Take me upstairs, and I'll deal with Lady Galvena once my business is done. |
| 54015 Forget it. I have more important things to do. |
| 54016 Then ye be on yer own, miss. I'll involve meself no more. An' remember... I've nothing to do with ye. |
| 54017 As ye wish, miss. Good luck to ye. |
| 54018 Sleeping Draught |
| 54019 Ah! So... does ye have the medallion, then, miss? |
| 54020 I think so... is this it? |
| 54021 I truly doubt that this would work, but if you're willing to try it... I have a sleeping draught here. All of the courtesans do. Occasionally, Lady Galvena has us drug one of our guests and rob him... or worse. |
| 54022 No, not yet. |
| 54023 Well, then I'll just have t' wait here until ye gets it, I suppose. Don't worry, miss... I haven't much else to do, heh. |
| 54024 So... I been thinking, miss... the guards won't likely let ye peep around, even with yer medallion. Miss Galvena don't let her courtesan masters do much, really. |
| 54025 Sleeping Draught |
| 54026 Mug of Ale |
| 54027 Miss Galvena gives us a draught... a potion... that we're supposed to be usin' on customers with a, ah, weighty purse. Put 'em to sleep, ye understand? |
| 54028 Mug of Ale |
| 54029 If ye doesn't wish to fight, ye could take the draught to the cook, perhaps. Convince 'er to put it in the food... and knock everyone out. Make it easy. |
| 54030 Guild House Key |
| 54031 How am I supposed to convince the cook to do this? |
| 54032 All right, then... give me the potion. |
| 54033 No need. I intend to fight. |
| 54034 I've no idea, miss. 'Twas just a thought. Does ye wish the draught anyway? |
| 54035 Sure. I'll see what I can do. |
| 54036 Guild House Key |
| 54037 No, no need. I intend to fight. |
| 54038 As ye wish, miss. Good luck to ye... if ye can truly free me an' the others, we'll be surely grateful to ye. |
| 54039 How underhanded! |
| 54040 Good luck to ye. I've got me hopes pinned on ye, miss. |
| 54041 Where is this leading? |
| 54042 Ye... ye've freed us from Miss Galvena? I barely dared t' think it possible, m'<LADYLORD>! Thank ye, truly. |
| 54043 If you could find some way of getting this into the food or drink of the guards, maybe it would knock them out. Perhaps the cook will cooperate. I really don't know. |
| 54044 Give me some of this draught, and I'll see what I can do. |
| 54045 I doubt that that plan would work. Thank you for your help. |
| 54046 Here then. Good luck. The kitchen is just a few doors down. |
| 54047 All right, miss. We're here. |
| 54048 Fine. Now tell me where I can find Claire. |
| 54049 All right. I'm going to go and take a look around the building. Not a word out of you. |
| 54050 Fine. Now tell me where I can find Claire. |
| 54051 Fine. Now tell me where I can find Claire. |
| 54052 Good. Stay here. I must find Lady Galvena and, if the Lady is cooperative, Claire. |
| 54053 Claire should be in the cell at the end of the hall, miss. The guards won't let ye in there... and I have no idea where the key might be except with Miss Galvena. |
| 54054 If ye're plannin' on shedding blood, though, ye'll excuse me if I hide under the bed and pray ye kills Miss Galvena while ye're at it. Good luck... |
| 54055 You came too late. Didn't I say you would come too late? You will learn to trust me. |
| 54056 What?! Ye can't leave me room, miss. One step out o' the door, an' I'll call the guards on ye! |
| 54057 Go ahead and call them. You'll join them if you do. |
| 54058 Do as you wish. I only needed to get inside. |
| 54059 Don't be afraid. You are safe here... if you behave. I will show you what fills the void. What is now free. |
| 54060 Here... how about 100 gp? Will that shut you up? |
| 54061 I'm only here to find and speak to Claire. It should not take long. |
| 54062 Claire? Is that what this be all about? Hmph. Well, I don't know how ye plan to pass the guards, but I've no objection to ye trying to help the poor lass. |
| 54063 GUARDS! GUARDS! |
| 54064 Aye. For 100 gold, I'll just go and, ah, fall asleep... so t' speak. I've no idea what ye plan t' do about the guards, miss, but that's yer business. Off ye go. |
| 54065 You are not Imoen. She said she has not had any dreams like these. |
| 54066 Away with ye. I'm hidin' here, an' I'll thank ye to leave me out o' yer business any further. |
| 54067 I lurk behind your soul, in the very fiber of your being. I am the only thing left when mind and reason are stripped away. |
| 54068 I should like to talk to the woman who had me bring her in, if you please. |
| 54069 Hah! If ye're lookin' fer a good time, mate, ye might want to try some o' the locals o'er at the festhall. That Lady Galvena has a good show, aye? |
| 54070 Business is good here in Brynnlaw... lots of ships comin' in to handle, ye know? Them folks in Spellhold don't care about th' town at all, which is fine by us. |
| 54071 I will show you what you can be, what you can do... if you simply let yourself become what you are. |
| 54072 Watch out fer Desharik an' his mates, if ye haven't run into 'em already. 'Tis a rowdy bunch, especially when they be aled up. |
| 54073 Ahhhr, me back is sore... an' with the bloody weather so wet, I've gone an' dropped two crates today already. The crewmaster'll have me arse in a sling if I drops another. |
| 54074 I can show you all of this because I am within. I... am what fills the void. I am you. |
| 54075 I been out here in the Nelanther o'er a decade now. 'Tis a grand place to be, if ye don't care fer laws an' such. Exiles and criminals... that's all which come 'ere now, it seems. Not all bad folks. |
| 54076 You are to be given a gift. It is a valuable prize, one that you had better appreciate. |
| 54077 Bloody pirates... we used t' have a peaceful town here, e'en in the middle of the Nelanther. Pirates used t' fear Spellhold, you know... until they figured out the mages there don't give a rat's arse about us. |
| 54078 You worry for your comrades, perhaps? Leave them, abandon them, and become what you must. |
| 54079 My sister's little girl got dragged away to work in that bloody festhall... and they won't let her go, even! It's like she's a slave! |
| 54080 You are alone. You have no one else. You should accept what you are... resistance makes you weak. |
| 54081 Would you believe this used to be a half-decent place? Spellhold kept all these superstitious pirates away... at least until recent years. |
| 54082 *sigh* Some pirates just came in our home two weeks ago and decreed it would make an excellent storehouse for their booty. We've barely even room to move about anymore. |
| 54083 The only good thing about all these sailors is that my shop is doing brisk business... when it isn't being torn apart by a fight or simply looted, that is. |
| 54084 I pray to Umberlee every night that the Bitch Queen of the Sea will come and sink all of these foul pirates in their ships. Pfah! |
| 54085 The mages up in Spellhold should come down and *do* something about all these foul pirates. But they don't care. They care about nothing that happens down here. |
| 54086 Best watch yourself. In the day, most of the pirates are drunk or asleep, but at night, Brynnlaw is a terror to walk through. My family stay inside as much as we can. |
| 54087 One day the Amnians will come and clear the Nelanther of all this scum, just you wait. We'll have a proper lord to rule over us and everything. |
| 54088 Best watch your belongings carefully here. There are thieves almost everywhere you look and pirates who will try to kill you for your boots. The town's almost been burnt down twice, I swear. |
| 54089 There is great power in your heritage. Use it... and you will become closer to who you are... what you could be. |
| 54090 Feel what is in the void. Use the tools that you are given. Become part of something greater. I am in you, and I know what is best. |
| 54091 Each time you use it, each time you accept it, you move a little closer to the evil within. |
| 54092 Spellhold? Well now, I'm not sure you would even want to get in there. People that go in don't usually come back out again. |
| 54093 But I see that you are determined. So be it, I'll say what I know, though it won't be of tremendous help. |
| 54094 Only two kinds of people get in there: Cowled Wizards and "deviants," people with special conditions of the mind. |
| 54095 Tell me about the Cowled Wizards. |
| 54096 How do the magical "deviants" get admitted? |
| 54097 There's really only one representative of the Cowled Wizards here, and he's long since given up their rigid discipline. This place doesn't suit it. |
| 54098 His name is Perth the Adept, and he is seemingly free to come and go from Spellhold all he wants. Uses a wardstone to pass the gates, I think. |
| 54099 You might... ah... "convince" him to give it up. He might take a bribe, but likely your meeting with him will have to be violent. |
| 54100 How about those judged to be "deviant"? How are they admitted? |
| 54101 Thank you for your help. That's all I needed to know. |
| 54102 Well, on the mainland, you would have to cause one heck of a magical disturbance, and if you survive the Cowled Wizard reprisal, you might get sent there. |
| 54103 Here on the isle itself, we don't work like that. Don't care about magic. Desharik uses Spellhold for other reasons. Dumps his enemies there, sometimes friends too. |
| 54104 Other than troublemakers, the asylum also holds mages and others with actual mental instabilities. They can prove quite dangerous and are better locked away. |
| 54105 A little too much saltwater can taint the mind, and it's not uncommon for someone to lose their grip. Desharik is the one that can order them confined. |
| 54106 Prove to be unstable and Desharik might send you there. The trip would not be gentle though. His chambers are a good ways west of here, a large building tucked against the hills. Tell the doorman I sent you. |
| 54107 And what about the Cowled Wizards on the isle? How do they get in? |
| 54108 Thanks, that's all I needed to know. |
| 54109 All right then. Still don't know why you'd want to get in there. I've heard even more screams than usual from there. However, I thank you for your assistance. |
| 54110 We are very much obliged, friend. Sanik would have wanted Claire to be safe more than anything else. |
| 54111 With Galvena dead, we have little fear of reprisals. Again I thank you. What was it that you needed from Sanik? |
| 54112 I need to enter the asylum. I was told that Sanik might know how. |
| 54113 I know all that I need to at the moment, thank you. |
| 54114 Good travels, then. Again, we thank you. |
| 54115 Hello again. Is there something that I can help you with? Claire and I owe you a debt. |
| 54116 Indeed. I need to gain entrance to the asylum. |
| 54117 I need nothing at present, thank you. |
| 54118 Gem Bag |
| 54119 'Allo, darling. Sure you wouldn't fancy joinin' me in me chambers for a bit of fun an' all that? The boys say I've hands that will melt away yer worries! |
| 54120 Cor, a man like you could use a girl to keep ye company, aye? Just a few coins an' I'm all yours! |
| 54121 Come now, me dear... ye don't want Galvena t' whip me fer not making me quota, aye? Just one night of pleasure fer ye an' I'm in the clear t' boot! |
| 54122 Oh, move on, then. There are girls who'd appreciate some time with ye, but I ain't one of 'em. |
| 54123 You wouldn't happen t' know of a decent man who's in need of a bit o' company, would ye? Send 'im to me, aye? |
| 54124 A fine day to ye! Would ye care for a decent night o' pleasure in me arms? 'Tis only a meager cost, for so much, aye? |
| 54125 Actually, I'm looking for a girl named Claire. Perhaps you know her? |
| 54126 Aye, I know who ye're talking about, sir. But I'm not one to go on gabbin' about things I shouldn't. Miss Galvena wouldn't permit it. |
| 54127 Lady Galvena is nowhere about to hear you, and I'll not be the one to tell her. |
| 54128 Well... I suppose I could tell ye about the lass, but it means me hide an' more if this be found out. Pay me 200 gp, sir, an' it'll be worth me while. |
| 54129 200 gp?! That's an outrageous amount! |
| 54130 Hmph. I could lose me tongue fer speakin' of such things, an' ye wish to haggle about it? It be 200 gp or it be nothing, sir. Take yer pick. |
| 54131 Here is 200 gp, then. What happened to Claire? |
| 54132 Claire's boyo was determined to take 'er away, see? He told off Miss Galvena, said he were takin' Claire to a better place and that were all there was to it. |
| 54133 Poor Claire believed 'im, too... believed that Miss Galvena might not do anythin' about it. Miss Galvena doesn't let none of us go, ye can be sure of that. |
| 54134 Claire were waitin' outside the guild house fer her boyo to come, but Miss Galvena had him killed, an' she took Claire inside the guild house an' locked her up... |
| 54135 I don't claim t' know what Miss Galvena's going to do to Claire, but 'tis a terrible thing, t' be sure. No one stands up t' Miss Galvena an' gets away with it. |
| 54136 How do I get into the guild house, then? I need to speak to her. |
| 54137 If ye wants to be walkin' around the guild house, ye'll need a medallion. All o' Miss Galvena's courtesan masters wear them. 'Tis how the guards recognize 'em. |
| 54138 Wait a minute... wouldn't they know that I didn't work for Lady Galvena anyway, medallion or no? |
| 54139 Miss Galvena be hirin' new masters all the time. Ye could bluff yer way past the guards if ye had a medallion. Them guards won't care enough to check. |
| 54140 So how do I get one of these medallions, then? |
| 54141 Aye now, that's tough. All o' the courtesan masters have one, but they mostly stays in the guild house. Chremy be out an' about, I think. Ye could get his. |
| 54142 Who is Chremy? |
| 54143 He be one of the crueler masters, he is. I hear he's been watchin' the new lass, Ginia. Poor girl. Chremy doesn't trust her a wink, an' she's done nothin'. |
| 54144 I remember him. I killed him already. |
| 54145 Hmph. It be no more than he deserved, really. Does ye have his medallion, then? |
| 54146 No, I don't. If I go and find the medallion, then, will it allow me to get inside? |
| 54147 Aye. Track 'im down. Ye may want to come back to me, an' I'll tell ye if it's the right one. Never know how much jewelry a masher like Chremy'll have, aye? |
| 54148 I think so. Is this it? |
| 54149 Aye, that be it, sure enough. |
| 54150 Now... ye can use that to bluff yer way past the guards, or I can take ye up to me room. That way, ye starts from within. Yer choice, sir. |
| 54151 I think I'll go in on my own. |
| 54152 As ye wish, sir. Good luck to ye. |
| 54153 All right... take me inside, then. |
| 54154 Right-o. Follow me, then, me dear. It isn't far from here... your friends can come too, if they like to watch. |
| 54155 All ye needs to do now is take it to the guards at the door. They should let you in, I thinks, without too much trouble. |
| 54156 Fine. I'll do that... thanks. |
| 54157 Right then. Remember, sir... I had nothing to do with ye. |
| 54158 Wait a minute... why don't you take me up to your room? That way I only have to deal with guards on the inside. |
| 54159 Take ye up to me room? Ahhh... I don't want to involve meself anymore than I needs to. If Miss Galvena finds out, it's me death! |
| 54160 How about 100 gp? Will that change your mind? |
| 54161 Look, sir... I'll take ye up if ye wish. But only if ye uses all yer skills to deal with Miss Galvena. Permanent-like. Ye'll be doin' a lot of people a favor. |
| 54162 I can do that. Take me upstairs and I'll deal with Lady Galvena once my business is done. |
| 54163 Forget it. I have more important things to do. |
| 54164 Then ye be on yer own, sir. I'll involve meself no more. An' remember... I've nothing to do with ye. |
| 54165 I will deal with Lady Galvena... you won't have to worry about her anymore, if that's the only problem. |
| 54166 Ye would do that? Ehhh... I'd be willing to risk a lot to be free of her, sure enough. Very well then, sir... I'll bring ye to me room inside. |
| 54167 Fine, then. I'll go inside on my own. |
| 54168 Look, take me up there or I'll do much worse than Lady Galvena. |
| 54169 I remember him. Are you talking about this medallion? |
| 54170 So if I find this Chremy and take his medallion, I should be able to get inside? |
| 54171 Ah, him... I already killed him, actually. |
| 54172 I remember him. You mean a medallion like this? |
| 54173 How would I get one of these medallions? |
| 54174 I plan on standing up to her. I'll kill her if I get the chance. |
| 54175 Aye? I'd be willing to take a chance on that. I'd give a lot t' be free o' Miss Galvena. I can maybe help ye get inside the guild house, I think. |
| 54176 I can get ye into me room, but once ye leaves, ye'll be dealin' with the guards. If ye want to move about secret-like, I can help ye with that as well. |
| 54177 I don't care about being seen. I just need to get inside. |
| 54178 Tell me how to go about the guild house secretly, then. |
| 54179 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 54180 Then we don't have any business t' discuss, sir. I can't help ye. Best ye be on yer way, for I haves a long day ahead o' me. |
| 54181 All I want is to get inside the guild house. Is there no way of doing that? |
| 54182 The guild house be fer guildfolk only. Hire me, sir, and I could take ye up to me room within. Ye wouldn't be wanderin' about, but ye'd be inside. |
| 54183 And how much would hiring you cost? |
| 54184 Well, heh... I be a girl o' no mean skill, if ye know what I mean. For 100 gp, I could show ye a pleasant time ye won't soon forget, m'lord. |
| 54185 Fine. Here's 100 gp. Let's go to your room in the guild house, then. |
| 54186 100 gp?! That's an outrageous sum! |
| 54187 Well, that's the charge, luv. I charge ye much less an' Miss Galvena would take it all, an' then where would I be? |
| 54188 Fine. 100 gp it is. Let's go to your room in the guild house. |
| 54189 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 54190 Let's talk about something else, then. Do you know someone named Claire? |
| 54191 All I really want is to get inside the guild house. Is there no way to do that? |
| 54192 Forget it, then. |
| 54193 On yer way, then. |
| 54194 100 gp is an awfully large sum. Is there no way to pay less? |
| 54195 Aye, maybe, fer a handsome face like yers. 50 gp, then... but I can go no lower. I haves t' pay Miss Galvena, ye know. |
| 54196 Very well. 50 gp it is. Let's go to your room in the guild house. |
| 54197 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 54198 Let's talk about something else, then. Do you know someone named Claire? |
| 54199 All I really want is to get inside the guild house. Is there no way to do that? |
| 54200 Forget it, then. |
| 54201 I'm afraid I don't have that much on me. |
| 54202 How about instead of me crushing your skull you just take me to your room in the guild house, all right? |
| 54203 Hmph. I don't go fer any o' that rough trade, sir. Best take that kind o' talk elsewhere lest ye run headfirst into Miss Galvena's men. Now bugger off. |
| 54204 Actually, I'm more interested in discussing a girl named Claire. Perhaps you know her? |
| 54205 Are you sure? Is there no other way in? |
| 54206 O' course not! Either ye comes in as a customer or not at all. Miss Galvena watches us like a hawk, she does... I'm not sticking me neck out fer nothing. |
| 54207 Fine, then. How much does it cost for me to be a customer? |
| 54208 How about we talk about something else, then? Do you know someone named Claire? |
| 54209 I really need to get inside. Would some gold change your mind? |
| 54210 Well... there might be a way in for ye, if ye're so determined. But Miss Galvena would have me killed if she found out. Pay me 200 gp an' it'll be worth me while. |
| 54211 200 gp?! That's an outlandish amount! |
| 54212 Ye thinks I wish to part with me tongue? I've no wish to anger Miss Galvena, miss... ye wants me t' say anything, it's 200 gp, and that be all there is to it. |
| 54213 Fine. Here's 200 gp. Tell me how to get in. |
| 54214 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 54215 Maybe I could go in with you... how much do you charge? |
| 54216 Let's talk about something else, then. Do you know someone named Claire? |
| 54217 Tell me what I want to know, or you'll lose more than your tongue. |
| 54218 As opposed to what? As opposed to what Miss Galvena will have done t' me fer sayin' anything? Hmph. Do as ye wish, then, sir, 'cause I'll have none of it. |
| 54219 200 gp?! That's an outlandish amount! |
| 54220 Ahhh, all I be worried about, really, is Miss Galvena findin' out, sir. Does ye promise not to tell anyone I said anythin'? |
| 54221 I promise. |
| 54222 I'm not promising anything. |
| 54223 Here's 200 gp, then. Tell me how to get in. |
| 54224 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 54225 Tell me how to get inside, or you're going to regret it. |
| 54226 Tell me how to get inside, or you're going to regret it. |
| 54227 Forget it, then. Thanks for nothing. |
| 54228 Are you sure? Is there no other way in? |
| 54229 How about we discuss something else, then? Do you know someone named Claire, perhaps? |
| 54230 Fine, then, I'll go. |
| 54231 Tell me what I want to know, or you'll have more things to worry about than just losing your tongue. |
| 54232 Tell me about the guild house, then. Is there a way I can get inside? |
| 54233 Forget it. I'll be going. |
| 54234 200 gp?! That's an outrageous amount! |
| 54235 Well... ye seems like a fine sort. An' Sune knows it be an awful thing what Miss Galvena has done to the lass. Fine, I'll tell ye what happened to Claire. |
| 54236 Very well... take it and tell me what happened to Claire. |
| 54237 I'm afraid I don't have that much. |
| 54238 How about I smash your skull in if you don't tell me and be quick about it?! |
| 54239 Lady Galvena won't know you said anything... you can trust me, friend. |
| 54240 All right, then. You mentioned something about a good time... what did you have in mind? |
| 54241 I could take ye up to me chambers in the guild house, sir, and show ye the skills that makes me in such demand. Fer just a small fee, mind ye. |
| 54242 What kind of "small fee" are we talking about? |
| 54243 Perhaps you could tell me about someone named Claire instead. Maybe you know her? |
| 54244 Is there some way I could get into the guild house on my own? I have business to discuss with Lady Galvena. |
| 54245 Then tell me how to get inside your guild house. There are things I would like to discuss with Lady Galvena. |
| 54246 Perhaps some gold might make you more willing to talk? |
| 54247 I might be up for that. What do you have in mind? |
| 54248 I'd prefer to know how to get into your guild house. I have business to discuss with Lady Galvena. |
| 54249 Ah! So... does ye have the medallion, then, sir? |
| 54250 I think so... is this it? |
| 54251 No, not yet. |
| 54252 Well, then I'll just have t' wait here until ye gets it, I suppose. Don't worry, sir... I haven't much else to do, heh. |
| 54253 So... I been thinking, sir... the guards won't likely let ye peep around, even with yer medallion. Lady Galvena don't let her courtesan masters do much, really. |
| 54254 Miss Galvena gives us a draught... a potion... that we're supposed to be usin' on customers with a, ah, weighty purse. Put 'em to sleep, ye understand? |
| 54255 If ye doesn't wish to fight, ye could take the draught to the cook, perhaps. Convince 'er to put it in the food... and knock everyone out. Make it easy. |
| 54256 How am I supposed to convince the cook to do this? |
| 54257 I've no idea, sir. 'Twas just a thought. Does ye wish the draught anyway? |
| 54258 Sure. I'll see what I can do. |
| 54259 As ye wish, sir. Good luck to ye... if ye can truly free me an' the others, we'll be surely grateful to ye. |
| 54260 No, no need. I intend to fight. |
| 54261 All right, then... give me the potion. |
| 54262 No need. I intend to fight. |
| 54263 Good luck to ye. I've got me hopes pinned on ye, sir. |
| 54264 Ye... ye've freed us from Miss Galvena? I barely dared t' think it possible, m'<LADYLORD>! Thank ye, truly. |
| 54265 All right, sir. We're here. |
| 54266 All right. I'm going to go and take a look around the building. Not a word out of you. |
| 54267 What?! Ye can't leave me room, sir. One step out o' the door an' I'll call the guards on ye! |
| 54268 Go ahead and call them. You'll join them if you do. |
| 54269 GUARDS! GUARDS! |
| 54270 Do as you wish. I only needed to get inside. |
| 54271 Here... how about 100 gp? Will that shut you up? |
| 54272 Aye. For 100 gold, I'll just go and, ah, fall asleep... so t' speak. I've no idea what ye plan t' do about the guards, sir, but that's yer business. Off ye go. |
| 54273 I'm only here to find and speak to Claire. It should not take long. |
| 54274 Claire? Is that what this be all about? Hmph. Well, I don't know how ye plan to pass the guards, but I've no objection to ye trying to help the poor lass. |
| 54275 Claire should be in the cell at the end of the hall. The guards won't let ye in there... and I have no idea where the key might be except with Miss Galvena. |
| 54276 If ye're plannin' on shedding blood, though, ye'll excuse me if I hide under the bed and pray ye kills Miss Galvena while ye're at it. Good luck... |
| 54277 Fine. Now tell me where I can find Claire. |
| 54278 Fine. Now tell me where I can find Claire. |
| 54279 Good. Stay here. I must find Lady Galvena and, if the Lady is cooperative, Claire. |
| 54280 Away with ye. I'm hidin' here, an' I'll thank ye to leave me out o' yer business any further. |
| 54281 Leave me be, miss. |
| 54282 Perhaps you lose yourself in the end, but you will go to greater reward than you can know. |
| 54283 After all, what does an eternity of nothingness matter... when you can destroy all that would oppose your development as easy as "one"... |
| 54284 "Two." |
| 54285 "Three." |
| 54286 "Four." |
| 54287 "Five!" |
| 54288 Island concerns: Ginia's tale I told Ginia that I killed Chremy. Now I have agreed to pay the smuggler Calahan to take Ginia and her brother off the isle. |
| 54289 Island concerns: Ginia's tale I told Ginia that I killed Chremy, but I also said that I will not pay the smuggler Calahan to take her and her brother off the isle. |
| 54290 Island concerns: Ginia's tale I told Ginia that I killed Chremy and paid Calahan to take her and her brother off the isle. She was ecstatic, of course. |
| 54291 Island concerns: Ginia's tale I told Ginia that I paid Calahan to take her and her brother off the isle. She was happy, but I still have to deal with Chremy to free them. |
| 54292 Hmph. Who in the Hells do you think you are? This is my kitchen! Festhall or not, I take pride in my job. |
| 54293 Restore Kangaxx's body I have encountered a golden skull in the Docks District which has promised me wealth and power beyond my dreams if only I save him from his curse and restore his body. He believes his arms, legs, and torso to have been scattered about the tombs within the city. |

| 54305 EEK! Help us! |

| 54310 Clearly, I am not wanted. I shall leave. |
| 54311 I must be abrupt, for there are things that I must attend to. I have heard much of Lady Galvena's evil, and I intend to put a stop to it. Will you help in exchange for your freedom? |

| 54319 It is as I feared. The madman Irenicus has unleashed his anger upon the city, and worse yet, I now recognize the magic he has employed. |
| 54320 Corruption magics, illusions from a race of spirits, the rakshasa. Such creatures are very predatory. It would appear that there is no depth to which Irenicus will not sink. |
| 54321 Suldanessellar is under siege. With this number of beasts under his command, Irenicus will be very hard to unseat. |
| 54322 We must proceed with caution. Not everyone in the city can withstand an onslaught like this. Their safety must take priority. |
| 54323 Now what in the blazes are you blathering about? Even if you're joking, Galvena will have your tongue if she hears about this. |
| 54324 She'll hear about it just in time to die. Will you cooperate? |
| 54325 Forget that I said anything. |
| 54326 I am here to find a girl called Claire. I am under the impression that Galvena holds her captive somewhere within. I need your help to free her. |
| 54327 This is very dangerous, but it may be our only chance. But no, I cannot agree until you tell me what you intend to do. |

| 54339 Handmaiden's Mace |
| 54340 This mace has been crafted finely by the drow and specially treated to survive the glare of the sun. It was made for surface raids by the subterranean race... and its black metal glistens with a dark poison that seems to be generated from within and causes incredible damage upon a successful impact. The mace seems almost alive and warm to the touch, and slithers away from those whom it does not like... namely drow or those who are similar enough to not make a difference. In the hands of anyone else, the mace becomes mere dead weight.

| 54372 Galvena is VERY angry at the girl. She has her locked up in the dungeon, and no doubt she is being punished as we speak. She may already be dead. |
| 54373 How can I enter the dungeon? |
| 54374 Thank you for the information. I'll see what I can do. |
| 54375 The girl must be saved. With your help, I can save her and both of you as well. Will you help? |

| 54410 Captured by mind flayers! I have stumbled upon a mind flayer enclave, and I am in serious trouble. I am to fight in their pit, presumably for their amusement. I do not know if it is possible to escape from the center of a mind flayer stronghold. They will be at their most powerful here. |

| 54413 Captured by mind flayers! It would appear that I am not the only one that has been captured and forced to fight. There is a group of githyanki here, and they harbor even more hatred for the "illithids" than I do. Perhaps they will be of help, if they survive their battle. |
| 54414 General Sovalidaas |
| 54415 Oh, oh, thank you, my <LADYLORD>! |
| 54416 Yes, thank you! We thought for sure those horrible creatures would kill us! They... they slaughtered all of the priestesses... |
| 54417 Yes, they... they came into the temple and killed them! All of Rillifane's children! |
| 54418 Oh! But not Demin! The high priestess... she's still alive! I saw her earlier, battling these creatures! You must save her! |
| 54419 Do not worry about Demin; I have already rescued her. |
| 54420 I'm afraid that it's too late. Demin is dead. |
| 54421 Where can I find this Demin? |
| 54422 Never mind that... Elhan is at the gates of the city, evacuating everyone. Go there and you'll be safe. |
| 54423 Oh, that is wonderful news! If... if only someone could stop these creatures now... |
| 54424 Elhan is evacuating everyone at the gates. I suggest you go there now. |
| 54425 Yes, of course, we'll go there right now! |
| 54426 Demin is... dead? By the Great Oak, then we are doomed! Doomed! |
| 54427 Never mind that now. Elhan is waiting at the gates to evacuate everyone. Go there and you should be safe. |
| 54428 I... I last saw her in the southwest of the city. Perhaps she has retreated into one of the homes there. I do not know... |
| 54429 I shall find her if I can. Meanwhile, Elhan is at the gates, evacuating the city. Go there and you should be safe. |
| 54430 As it happens, I have obtained a bottle of sleeping draught. Perhaps you could put it in the food or drink of the guards. |
| 54431 I... I thank you for saving my life. These... these creatures came with... the Exile. He is killing us all! |
| 54432 They broke into the temple and killed all the acolytes! It... it was horrifying! I barely escaped, and I... I'm not sure if anyone else... |
| 54433 Well, thank you for the information. I'll see what I can do. |
| 54434 Oh! Demin, the high priestess! She yet lives! I saw her in the southwest part of the city! She may yet be there... you must save her! |
| 54435 I have already saved Demin. Elhan is at the gates evacuating everyone... go there and you should be safe. |
| 54436 I am afraid Demin is dead. Elhan is at the gates evacuating everyone... go there and you should be safe. |
| 54437 Never mind that now. Elhan is at the gates evacuating people. Go there and you should be safe. |
| 54438 I... I will go. Thank you again. |

| 54446 Who...? Strangers, here? I suppose if the Exile can return, then almost anything is possible. Please... excuse me as I mourn for my fallen brethren. |
| 54447 The... the monsters that the Exile commands came through here not long ago. They ripped apart my... my friends... as if they were nothing but cattle for the slaughter. |
| 54448 My... my wife... |
| 54449 ...she pushed me behind her, to protect me, and I fell. And... and then she distracted the creature and ran away. It... it chased her... and when it caught her... it... I... |
| 54450 I saw... I saw it e-eating her flesh... *sob* She s-saved me, but... |
| 54451 That's horrible! I'm sorry for your loss. |
| 54452 A valiant woman. Her memory should be honored. |
| 54453 Save your tears. The day is not done yet. Go to the gates... Elhan is evacuating everyone there. |
| 54454 Y-yes. Th-thank you. There are many more who are dying yet... these creatures are everywhere. Can you... can you do something about them? |
| 54455 I will make the attempt, if I can. You should go to the gates... Elhan is evacuating the city from there. |
| 54456 I am here to deal with Irenicus... your Exile, I suppose... and nothing more. Go to the gates... Elhan is there. |
| 54457 I... yes, of course. |
| 54458 Who...? Strangers, here? I suppose if the Exile can return, then almost anything is possible. Now that the spirit guardians are here, perhaps we shall finally be saved. |
| 54459 Except for... except for my wife. My poor wife and so many others. I... p-please excuse me... I must grieve for my family. I... |
| 54460 Please... leave me be. All that I have ever loved is dead. I must mourn for the fallen... |
| 54461 The spirit guardians have been raised! Praise be to the Great Oak! Thank you, stranger, you have saved us! |
| 54462 Eeek! More monsters! More monsters! |
| 54463 N-no... no, Vilanas, it's not monsters. It's... it's just strangers. |
| 54464 P-please, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, can... can you help us? Mother and Father, they... they told us to wait inside. They went outside, and... and we heard such strange noises... |
| 54465 They're dead! *sob* Mother and Father are dead! *sob sob* |
| 54466 Noooo! *sob* No, Vilanas, that's not true! You... you've seen them, haven't you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>? You've seen them, right? |
| 54467 If... if you can save any of our people, stranger... we would be grateful. I saw the high priestess of Rillifane some time ago in the southwest. Perhaps... perhaps she could help you. Or you her... |
| 54468 But I shall go to the gates now. There are likely to be many... many wounded there. Who I can, at least, help... |
| 54469 Doing that could get me killed. I suppose we could put it in their ale, but as soon as they wake up, Galvena will have them kill me. Why should I risk my life for you? |
| 54470 Galvena is virtually a slave owner and a small time one at that. I must save the girl, Claire, and in doing so, I promise to kill Galvena as well. You shall be free. |
| 54471 I haven't seen them... but that doesn't mean they are dead, child. Come... you should go to the city gates. It is safe there. |
| 54472 Yes. Yes, I've seen them. They're at the city gates... you should go there right now, children. |
| 54473 No, and they are most likely dead. Now is the time for you to be strong. You must go to the gates... it will be safe for you there. |
| 54474 Perhaps you have no reason to. I will leave. |
| 54475 Begone, sniveling brats! Get to the gates! NOW! |
| 54476 *sob* Waaaaahh... they're dead! They're dead! I knew it! |
| 54477 *sob* They... *sob* They might not be, Vilanas. Come... come on. *sob* Th-thank you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>... |
| 54478 It wouldn't work. I could put it in their ale, but they would not trust you or drink what you give them. |
| 54479 Do... do you hear that, Vilanas? *sob* They're okay! |
| 54480 Th-they are? *sob* Mother and Father are okay? *sniffle* L-let's go to the gates! I... I w-want Mother! |
| 54481 I could take it to the guards, Ellie! |
| 54482 Girl, you don't want to risk your neck for this <PRO_MANWOMAN>'s suicidal plan. |
| 54483 *sob* I... *sob* Y-yes, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I... we'll try to be strong... |
| 54484 I've been torn from my family and forced into servitude by Galvena! I don't know how much longer I can take it! Already, this <PRO_MANWOMAN> has gotten this far. If I do this, I may be freed. I MUST try! |
| 54485 EEEEEKK! |
| 54486 AAAAHH! RUN, VILANAS! |
| 54487 I'm old and tired. Even if Galvena kills me, I won't be missing much. As for you, if we take care of the guards, you had better take this all the way. We shall die if you don't. |
| 54488 Eeek! More monsters! More monsters! |
| 54489 No, Vilanas, it's okay! The... the spirit guardians are here... they're driving all the bad creatures away! |
| 54490 My resolve is strong, and I need Claire's help regardless. Let's do it. |
| 54491 B-but what about Mother and F-father? They told us to wait inside... and then there were those aw-awful... noises... *sob* |
| 54492 I am unsure. Forget that I have asked anything of you. |
| 54493 Well... the guardians are here now. M-maybe... maybe we can go and find them! Let's go and find them! |
| 54494 Give me the draught. There! We shall pour three mugs, one for each of the two guards at the doors. When they are asleep, the girl will enter Galvena's chamber where Rerdes stands guard. |
| 54495 Kill Rerdes and get the prison key. Galvena is in the prison... she may have her pet wizard with her, a dangerous man. If Claire is not dead, you shall have her and we shall have our freedom. |
| 54496 Galvena must die. Above all else, remember that. Here girl, take the ale and go. |
| 54497 Follow me, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, but stay back. |
| 54498 Direct assault, I say! Let his lackeys come! I'll take them all down! |
| 54499 I would not wish to damage the city. What would be the best course of action? |
| 54500 If you have suggestions, make them now. I will not let him best me again. |
| 54501 You must seek out Ellesime. She will know what to do. She has a link to the divine not unlike your own, though through a much more benevolent spirit. |
| 54502 Go, <CHARNAME>. I will garrison this area with my elite war guards. We will shepherd people to safety as you secure the inner city. |

| 54570 I'm looking for a girl named Claire. Do you know where she is? |
| 54571 ** THE SPIRITS OF THIS WOOD WILL BE CALLED TO DEFEAT THE EVIL THAT THE EXILE HAS BROUGHT INTO OUR MIDST. ** |
| 54572 Fine. I'll leave. |
| 54573 Good, I've got better things to do than babysit newbies. |
| 54574 The Lady's taking care of her in the prison. You're not allowed in. Now get lost; we're busy. |
| 54575 ** RISE, SPIRITS... IT IS I, RILLIFANE RALLATHIL OF THE SELDARINE WHO CALLS YOU. DEFEND OUR CHILDREN THIS DAY. ** |
| 54576 The creatures in the city seem very powerful! How am I to defeat them all? |
| 54577 I will proceed with all haste. |
| 54578 What will they be able to do that I cannot? |
| 54579 Just doing our jobs! Captain Rerdes! Intruders! |
| 54580 ** AND YOU, MORTAL... ** |
| 54581 ** YOU SEEK TO DEFEAT THE EXILE. FREE SHE WHO IS OF MY BLOOD FROM HIS CORRUPTION, AND SHE WILL SEVER THE LINK HE USES. ** |
| 54582 You can't bribe us. The Lady would flay us alive. Let's kill this fool and get it over with. Captain Rerdes! Intruders! |
| 54583 ** I CAN DO NO MORE. ** |
| 54584 Nice try, idiot. Captain Rerdes! Intruders! |
| 54585 You are not. There are too many, and Irenicus remains protected while we waste time. Find Demin or Ellesime, as I said. |
| 54586 This is a very old city. It would not have lasted without some protections of its own. Find Demin or Ellesime, and they will no doubt bring those protections to bear. |
| 54587 I trust you will. Time is critical. |
| 54588 Are things going well? I have secured several of my people from immediate danger, but if Irenicus is not stopped, our efforts are meaningless. |
| 54589 What in the Hells are you doing?! Captain Rerdes! Intruders! |
| 54590 Hah! Any employee of Galvena's would wear her symbol. Kill this fool! Rerdes! Intruders! |
| 54591 Well, get back to your room! You're not to wander the house without an escort. Go! |
| 54592 The Lady's chambers and the cells where malcontents and troublemakers are kept. |
| 54593 I would like to enter, please. |
| 54594 I am looking for a girl named Claire. Do you know where she is? |
| 54595 Thank you. I will leave you be. |
| 54596 Can't you see that I'm working? Get away before I give you a beating. |
| 54597 I've had enough of you. Get out of my sight. |
| 54598 Well, look who's come by again. Ready for a little fun, girl? Our shift could end whenever you wish. |
| 54599 We'll show you the good time that your drunken clients can't, eh? |
| 54600 It is tempting. I've brought you a bit of ale. Standing guard can be such thirsty work. |
| 54601 Well, that's more like it! Give me one o' those mugs! |
| 54602 Mmmm. This is good. 'Tis a pleasant aftertaste... |
| 54603 Yes... pleasant... 'tis a bit hot in here... I just need to sit down for a moment... |
| 54604 I too... I... uhhhh... |
| 54605 It worked, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. Captain Rerdes is in Lady Galvena's room. Follow me. The key to the cells can be found within. |
| 54606 What is the meaning of this intrusion? You know that you are forbidden to enter the Lady's room, girl. |
| 54607 Did she? It is high time that my loyal service was recognized. Very well, let's have it. |
| 54608 The Lady asked me to bring this to you. She said that you deserved a break. |
| 54609 Here, Captain. Enjoy. |
| 54610 Uh... clients, Captain. I'll take them out of the room with haste. Please, drink up. |
| 54611 Who are those behind you? They should not be here. Get rid of them now! |
| 54612 All right, I suppose that you'll need the tankard back. |
| 54613 It's good, but I... |
| 54614 I... well this is... |
| 54615 ...erghhh... |
| 54616 It is finished, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Please, find the key and free poor Claire. I have done all that I can do. Good luck and thank you for what you are about to do for us! |
| 54617 By the gods! You have disgraced the Lady's room with your intrusion! Die! |
| 54618 Galvena! We have a guest. |
| 54619 ...and as such, a sentence of death has been imposed on you, Claire. |
| 54620 Silence! The punishment is severe and immediate. An example shall be made of you as was made of your... "husband" Sanik. I should think that... |
| 54621 Please! I have served you for years! Why could you not let me go? *sob* |
| 54622 Hmmm, so we do. Who are you, <PRO_MANWOMAN>? Where are my useless guards? |
| 54623 They are indisposed. I need to speak with the girl, Claire. Allow me to do so, and you shall live. |
| 54624 Lady Galvena! Your days of enslaving these courtesans are over. The guild is finished, and you must pay for your crimes. |
| 54625 I do believe that I have entered the wrong room. Excuse me. |
| 54626 The girl is soon to be dead and, regardless, is my property. You have no claim on her. |
| 54627 I need some information from her. Take her back when I have learned if she knows anything of use. |
| 54628 How bold! Vadek, what do you make of this? |
| 54629 Arrogance is a common trait among the dregs of adventuring. |
| 54630 Well put! I would say that a lesson in humility is in order. Vadek, begin the lesson. |
| 54631 People are not property. Free her or face my wrath! |
| 54632 I should hardly be able to face my employees if I allowed intruders to escape unscathed. Vadek, kill the intruder! |
| 54633 With pleasure! |
| 54634 Oh, thank you! She was going to kill me! Did Sanik send you? I must go and find him! |
| 54635 I'm sorry to say that Galvena had Sanik killed. I saw the whole thing. |
| 54636 I must be brief. Sanik was killed by Galvena's assassin just before he was going to tell me how I might gain access to the asylum. |
| 54637 From all accounts, Galvena deserved to die. You are free to go, but I was wondering if you couldn't help me first. |
| 54638 I will do anything that I can, but I must see my husband, Sanik, first. |
| 54639 I'm sorry to say that Sanik was killed by Galvena's assassin. I saw the whole thing unfold. |
| 54640 Killed? ...no... *sob*... |
| 54641 ...no... why did she have to *sob*? |
| 54642 I'm sorry. *sniff* I suspected that she might have killed him, but I didn't want to believe it. He was going to take me away from all of this. But now... |
| 54643 I'm very sorry. Do you have anywhere to go to? |
| 54644 I must be brief. Sanik was killed by Galvena's assassin just before he was going to tell me how I might gain access to the asylum. |
| 54645 Sanik supplied Spellhold and knew something of its secrets, but I was frightened. I don't know anything about those creepy wizards, and I don't think that I want to. |
| 54646 Curses! A friend of mine is trapped within, and I must save her. Is there anyone else who would know how to enter? |
| 54647 Well, the captain of Sanik's merchant vessel might know. His name is Golin. He is a good man and may take me away from here now that Sanik is dead. |
| 54648 Then let us go and see him. Gods willing, you will find safety and I will be able to save my friend. Where is he? |
| 54649 Where can Golin be found? I must speak with him! |
| 54650 He will be near the docks. I shall take you to him. Come. |
| 54651 The captain of Sanik's vessel, Golin, is a good man. He would offer me safety. |
| 54652 Sanik's captain? Mayhaps he will have the information that I seek. Where can we find him? |
| 54653 I shall escort you to him and ensure your safety. |
| 54654 Captain Golin? Is that you? |
| 54655 Claire? We've been searching all over for you since Sanik was murdered. Are you all right? Who have you brought with you? |
| 54656 I'm okay now. Galvena nearly killed me to make an example to the other girls. This is the <PRO_MANWOMAN> who saved me. |
| 54657 Then we are in <PRO_HISHER> debt. Thank you, friend, for saving Claire. Is there anything that we can do to repay you? If Sanik were still alive, he would offer you his life. |
| 54658 The girl deserved a better life. Galvena seemed to me a woman of no small evil. I only need to know how to enter the asylum. Sanik was going to tell me when he was killed. |
| 54659 A reward would not be unwelcome. |
| 54660 Certainly! Please take this gold. It is all that I have, but I offer it with pleasure. |
| 54661 One more thing. Do you know how I might enter the asylum? A friend is trapped within and must be saved. Sanik was going to tell me but was slain by Galvena's assassin. |
| 54662 Thank you and farewell. |
| 54663 Hello! Thank you for saving me from Galvena. I only wish that Sanik could have lived. |
| 54664 I need information about the asylum. Do you know how I might enter the place? |
| 54665 I was happy to help. Farewell. |
| 54666 I don't know anything about that. You'll have to ask Captain Golin. |
| 54667 Good travels! |
| 54668 I spoke to Demin. I am to secure the temple and activate the guardians within. |
| 54669 What can you tell me of the guardians within the temple? |
| 54670 Yes, yes, I am going as fast as I can. I'll save your precious city. |
| 54671 What...? Who... WHO DARES?! |
| 54672 You... you live *yet*! You have less than a fraction of your soul, and yet somehow you *continue* to oppose me? |
| 54673 I dare! Your plans are ruined, Irenicus! You will die here! |
| 54674 You had to know I wouldn't let you get away. |
| 54675 By all that is righteous, I am here to destroy you! |
| 54676 Wait! Who comes? You... you are the child of Bhaal, aren't you? The one that Joneleth... Jon... boasted of stealing power from? He claimed to have slain you! |
| 54677 Well, he didn't, and now it's time for me to pay him back. |
| 54678 He very nearly did. And I intend to return the favor! |
| 54679 Your problems are an afterthought! I just want Irenicus! |
| 54680 Hah! I cannot be stopped! Nor will I, here! |
| 54681 Yes, but... who are you? And what is Irenicus doing? |
| 54682 I am Ellesime, queen of Suldanessellar. I am at the center of the Tree with Joneleth, within his cage of corruptive magics. I can send my image no further. |
| 54683 I do not know what manner of parasites they are, but they are corruption itself! They feed Joneleth the power and maintain this cage that holds me! |
| 54684 So long as they do so, child of Bhaal, Irenicus is invulnerable! However, while he is absorbing the Tree's power, he is oblivious and may be vulnerable! |
| 54685 The guardians! It has been long since we have had to call upon them, but I can think of no more dire a situation. |
| 54686 The elven city requires my aid I must also find two pieces of the Lanthorn, individual panes of glass that focus its energy. Elhan says that his sages have divined clues as to where they are. I will detail them individually. |
| 54687 Whether you are here to save my people or just kill he who tormented you, I care not. One thing must be done... the parasites on the Tree of Life must die! |
| 54688 Do that and I can sever Jon's connection to the Tree... Only then can he be killed! I... believe he has protected the parasites somehow... I do not know. Hurry! |
| 54689 How do I reach the parasites? There is no route I can see amongst all these branches! |
| 54690 Do what you can, <CHARNAME>. I shall continue to help my people escape the carnage. |
| 54691 Yes... he has severed branches. Use the nuts... the nuts from the palace gardens! They will grow new branches on the tree! You can use them to cross! |
| 54692 The container is full. |
| 54693 Do it quickly, child of Bhaal! If Jon drains the Tree of Life, all of Suldanessellar is doomed... and Jon will have the power he craves! Please, you *must* stop him! |
| 54694 The guardians! They are ancient spirits of warriors long ascended to legend. We have not had to call upon them in ages. |
| 54695 I suppose this situation warrants their awakening. Do what you must, <CHARNAME>. Irenicus must be brought to task. |
| 54696 This item type is not allowed in the container. |
| 54697 Do not make light of this predicament. If Irenicus goes unchecked, we are all surely doomed. |
| 54698 And you will only have him by helping us now! We must work together despite your personal grievances! |
| 54699 Yes! Excellent! There is only one more that needs to be destroyed! Already I can see this cage beginning to fade! |
| 54700 It is a sight of wonder, watching the Guardians as they sanctify our streets once more. You have done well. |
| 54701 Once I sever Jon's link to the Tree of Life, you must be ready for anything. Be cautious. Kill the last parasite and come quickly to the center of the Tree where Irenicus and I are! |
| 54702 The energy he has stolen from the Tree will be torn from him. I know not what effects this will have... it may kill us all! But Jon will be weak and disoriented, so you must kill him quickly! |
| 54703 Finish it quickly! I feel the Tree of Life dying! Jon is drawing too close to his goal! |
| 54704 The power... the power of the Tree is gone from me. You have been successful in your little scheme, insect, but now this ends! |
| 54705 I will take great pleasure in eradicating such a nuisance as you. And then I shall... reestablish my link, join with the Tree once again. I shall find a way; I shall *have* the power |
| 54706 No, Joneleth, you shall not. |
| 54707 Who...? Ellesime? |
| 54708 Yes, it is I, your queen. Twice now you have attempted this sacrilege and nearly destroyed us all. You will not do this again, Joneleth. |
| 54709 Do not call me that! I lost all right to that name when the Seldarine stripped me of everything that was elven, as you well know! |
| 54710 And what shall I call you instead? "Irenicus"? "Shattered One"? Yes, it was a terrible punishment. But you violated everything we hold dear. You nearly destroyed us all! |
| 54711 And for what? Power? Is that all you exist for now, Jon? |
| 54712 It... is all I have now, Ellesime. There is nothing else beyond my revenge. Revenge for what you did to me, that the Seldarine did to me! |
| 54713 And your revenge has poisoned your heart. The Tree touched you once, long ago. Do you remember nothing of it? Is there nothing in your heart that remembers love? |
| 54714 Is there nothing within you that remembers *our* love? What we once shared before this obsession doomed you? |
| 54715 I... |
| 54716 I do not remember your love, Ellesime. I have tried. I have tried to recreate it, to spark it anew in my memory, but it is gone... a hollow, dead thing. |
| 54717 For years, I clung to the memory of it. Then the memory of the memory. And then nothingâ€â€the Seldarine took that from me too. |
| 54718 I look upon you and feel nothing. I remember nothing but you turning your back on me along with all the others. |
| 54719 Once, my thirst for power was everything. And now I hunger only for revenge. And I... WILL... HAVE IT! |
| 54720 Then I pity you. Would that you had used your stolen mortal years to *earn* your return to this sacred place. |
| 54721 I could have loved you anew, as I loved the man you once were. But I see nothing of him here. You are Irenicus. And all that awaits you now... is death. |
| 54722 We shall see, my former love. We shall see. |
| 54723 So she goes to rouse Elhan and the others while I am still weak. So be it, I shall crush them all if need be. I retain your power yet, <CHARNAME>. |
| 54724 Your soul still courses through me. Come and make your attempt to reclaim it, if you like. I have power enough to deal with you! |
| 54725 I... *You*... killed me... |
| 54726 Th-this is not... This... is not... |
| 54727 Irenicus crumples, his words dying on his lips, and a strange quiet envelopes the scene. You begin to wonder if you have finally won, if it is all truly over. |
| 54728 Protect the eggs! |
| 54729 Lanthorn |
| 54730 Lanthorn |
| 54731 The way to the surface is clear. Good luck to you! |
| 54732 Lens 1 |
| 54733 Lens 1 |
| 54734 Lens 2 |
| 54735 Lens 2 |
| 54736 Lens 3 |
| 54737 Lens 3 |
| 54738 Ah... so you have come to us at last, child of Bhaal. You have come to claim your heritage, perhaps? And in pieces, no less. Tsk tsk tsk... how terrible it must be to die in such a state. |
| 54739 If this is victory, there is a question burning in the back of your mind: What about what he stole from you? What of your soul? |
| 54740 Claim my heritage? What are you talking about? |
| 54741 I am not dead! Irenicus is dead, and somehow I have followed him here. |
| 54742 What are you talking about, "in pieces"? What kind of riddle is this? |
| 54743 Continue to speak to me in such a manner, fiend, and you shall perish where you stand. |
| 54744 Your heritage, child. This is Bhaal's realm. You have not faded to join the former Lord of Murder's essence, have you? No... so your blood holds sway here. |
| 54745 And hence the fact that your essence has not disintegrated to rejoin the former Lord of Murder. This is Bhaal's realm here... and your blood holds sway in this piece of Hell. |
| 54746 You feel a small tug inside yourself, a pull that seems to come from the apparition that rose from Irenicus. It is gentle at first, but quickly becomes urgent. |
| 54747 I speak of your soul, child of murder. You come as a piece of the whole, so your essence has not rejoined that of Bhaal, and therefore your blood holds sway here. |
| 54748 I bow before you, of course. You are a child of murder, but your essence has not rejoined that of the dead Bhaal. In your father's realm... your blood holds sway. |
| 54749 Slime |
| 54750 Slime A beast with no visible support within its gelatinous body. The acid touch of these creatures can vary from type to type, but all are deadly scavengers. |
| 54751 Elven God |
| 54752 Elven God |
| 54753 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54754 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54755 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54756 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54757 You hold power here... or rather, the piece of you that is Bhaal's holds power here. And that part of you now rests in both you and the other, the wizard, yes? |
| 54758 Faerie |
| 54759 Faerie "Faerie-folk" include many kinds of small, generally benevolent creatures. The image most associated with the term is that of a small, winged, mischievous creature, though their dispositions can vary as much as any other race. |
| 54760 Demonic/Fell |
| 54761 He stole much of your divine soul, but not all. So you are tethered to the mage, as he is to you. Neither of you truly dead, yet neither truly alive. Most interesting. |
| 54762 Demonic/Fell Creatures under this banner can include any number of fiends from the lower planes. All are malevolent and powerful, and great care should be taken not to fall under their influence. |
| 54763 So how do I end this, fiend? Will you tell me that? |
| 54764 But you already know! You must seek your soul by gathering the Tears of Bhaal... only then shall the way be open to you. |
| 54765 The Tears of Bhaal? |
| 54766 Lycanthrope |
| 54767 Lycanthrope The werewolf is the classic lycanthrope, a person that changes into an animal, though the term can also refer to animals that change into people. Lycanthropy can be a curse or an inherited condition. |
| 54768 Death causes many tears to fall, child, and Bhaal collected many while he lived. The Tears will open the eyes... and show you the path to your soul. |
| 54769 A Tear of Bhaal lies very close to here, child of Bhaal... just beyond either of these two rooms before you. |
| 54770 Beholder |
| 54771 You have encountered many times in your existence where you have been forced to swallow your fear, no? You have fought off terror that would overwhelm a lesser being and shown courage instead. |
| 54772 Beholder A large floating orb with a central eye, large mouth, and many smaller eyes sprouting from stalks atop its hideous form. Truly alien, beholder-kin come in many variations, though all should be avoided. |
| 54773 Pass through either of these rooms, and your vaunted courage shall be challenged, child of Bhaal. |
| 54774 I have something I will offer, however, which will make it so much easier for you, child. You know, like so many with power, that items of magic can do much that the ordinary man cannot... |
| 54775 Mind Flayer |
| 54776 Mind Flayer Also called illithids, the brain-devouring mind flayers are hideously alien creatures of the Underdark. Evil beyond redemption, they will consider you a slave or simply food, if they consider you at all. |
| 54777 ...such as this cloak, for instance. Stitched together from the flayed skins of lovely nymphs. Wear it and be soothed by its powerful magic... panic will never overcome you again. |
| 54778 With this cloak, you could easily gather the Tear of Bhaal and worry not of your courage. I bow to the power of your divine soul, child, and offer this cloak up to you... if you wish it. |
| 54779 Vampire |
| 54780 Vampire The vampire is a powerful undead creature, feeding on the living to further its own twisted goals. Vampirism can infect people of many different species, though the effects are often unpredictable. |
| 54781 A cloak stitched from the skin of nymphs? I can feel its evil from here. I wish nothing to do with it, despite its power. |
| 54782 Otyugh |
| 54783 Otyugh Huge disease-ridden creatures, Otyughs feed on the filth and refuse that other dungeon-dwelling beasts shed or cast aside. This can include adventurers if you are not careful. |
| 54784 I am not sure. Let me investigate these rooms myself, and I will decide then if I need it. |
| 54785 A magical cloak? Of course I'll take it. |
| 54786 Then you choose to rely on your own power and bravery. It shall be as you wish, child of Bhaal. |
| 54787 Of course. I shall remain to give you the cloak of skins, should you desire it... unless you acquire the Tear on your own, of course. I am only here to offer my help. |
| 54788 Rakshasa |
| 54789 Rakshasa Rakshasas are a race of malevolent spirits that hunt and torment humanity. They live for battle, and their illusion talents make them deadly. |
| 54790 Then your courage shall stem from the power of the magic you wear. It shall be as you say, child of Bhaal. Here it be... the Tear lies beyond. |
| 54791 Troll |
| 54792 You are here to take another look, child? A finely crafted cloak this is... made of the skin of lovely nymphs... and imbued magic, enough to calm even the most panicked heart. Do you wish it? |
| 54793 Troll Trolls are horrid carnivores that are most well known for being hard to kill. All trolls regenerate, and most can only be killed through the use of fire. |
| 54794 No. The cloak is made of nymph's flesh, and I can sense its evil even from here. I want nothing to do with it. |
| 54795 I am not sure. Wait here until I decide. |
| 54796 Umber Hulk |
| 54797 Yes... if it does what you say, I want it. |
| 54798 Umber Hulk Umber hulks are tremendously strong subterranean creatures that can burrow through solid rock in search of prey. They are physically slow, but can cause confusion in their target with a glance. |
| 54799 I do not need a cloak to give me courage. Take your so-called gift and begone. |
| 54800 I do not need a cloak to give me courage, fiend. Take it and begone. |
| 54801 Your bravery is tainted by your foolishness, but it is a sort of courage nevertheless. I bow before your superior strength, child of Bhaal, and shall fight you no longer. |
| 54802 Sahuagin |
| 54803 Sahuagin Sahuagin are a vicious, predatory race of fish-men that live in warm coastal waters. They are highly organized and greatly enjoy raiding shore communities for food and sport. |
| 54804 Shadow |
| 54805 Shadow Shadows are malevolent, undead creatures that drain strength from their victims with their chilling touch. Those so afflicted can look forward to becoming a shadow themselves if contact continues. |
| 54806 Kuo-toa |
| 54807 Kuo-toa Kuo-toa are an ancient race of fish-men that dwell underground and harbor a deep hatred for surface-dwellers and sunlight. Insanity is common among the species. |
| 54808 Mephit |

| 54810 Imp |
| 54811 Imp Imps are diminutive creatures of an evil nature that roam the world and occasionally act as familiars for evil wizards and priests. Only magical or silver weapons harm them, and they also regenerate. |
| 54812 Golem |
| 54813 Golem "Golem" is a broad term that covers many types of magical constructs. Most are humanoid, though they can be of inhuman size, and most require magical means to destroy them. |
| 54814 Elemental |
| 54815 Elemental Elementals are sentient beings that can possess bodies made of one of the four basic elements that make up the Prime Material Plane: air, earth, fire, and water. |
| 54816 Dragon |
| 54817 Dragon Dragons are an ancient, winged reptilian race. They are known and feared for their size, physical prowess, and magical abilities. The oldest dragons are among the most powerful creatures in the world. Chromatic dragons are generally evil in nature, while metallic dragons tend towards good. |
| 54818 Genie |
| 54819 Genie Genies come from the elemental planes, but are sometimes encountered on the Prime Material Plane and are occasionally summoned to perform a service for a powerful wizard or priest. The reaction of the genie towards such an indignity can vary from type to type. |
| 54820 Lich |
| 54821 Lich The lich is potentially the most powerful form of undead known to exist, and they are difficult, if not impossible, to destroy. Besides having the power of an undead wizard at their command, they store their life force in a secure location separate from their physical form. Destruction of their body is meaningless unless the container is found as well. |
| 54822 Within seconds, you cannot breathe, drawn inexorably to where Irenicus fell. You are still connected to your stolen soul, but it is no longer among the living. |
| 54823 Released in death, your stolen soul does not return to you. It is falling away from the mortal world, and you are being dragged along with it. |
| 54824 Tainted tadpoles swim in this pool. You may take some if you wish. |
| 54825 You take the tainted tadpoles. |
| 54826 Fresh tadpoles swim in the pool. These tadpoles give strength to adult kuo-toa. |
| 54827 You may contaminate the pool by adding the tainted tadpoles. |
| 54828 You add the tainted tadpoles... which destroy the kuo-toan tadpoles in the pool. |
| 54829 The sacrifice has been fulfilled... |
| 54830 To free the five and receive your reward, place a sacrifice before Demogorgon. |

| 54833 Ah... So the child of Bhaal comes to me, finally, for the last of the Tears of Bhaal. You have come very near to locating your quarry. Yes, indeed you have. |
| 54834 What are you talking about?! All I have done is been subjected to a series of strange tests! |
| 54835 I suppose you're going to tell me Irenicus has been waiting behind that strange doorway this entire time? |
| 54836 You are making no sense. Explain or die, fiend. |
| 54837 Tests? Of a sort. Remember that the mage holds power here too and seeks to prevent you finding him. The tests are of your own making, from your own power. |
| 54838 Of course not. He moves quickly, yet you close on him quickly. These tests that you place on yourself are clever, O young <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder. Your power is strong. |
| 54839 Your prey moves quickly, but the tests you have devised lead you ever closer to him. Your power is strong here despite the resistance of the mage. |
| 54840 What do you mean? |
| 54841 What do you mean? |
| 54842 What do you mean? |
| 54843 How do you find your soul, child of Bhaal? Do you find it on a stroll? No, you must know yourself, the depths of your passion and the heights of your depravity. |
| 54844 You come to know what you are capable of... and that shall open the way to your soul. It is yourself, your essence, that you seek... whether you know it or not. |
| 54845 And because this is what you seek, your power fights against the mage's and brings you closer to your goal. Soon, you shall open the eyes with the Tears of Bhaal. |
| 54846 And what then? The door will be open and Irenicus will be there? |
| 54847 Back, drow! Back to the depths you call home! I will not have creatures such as you amidst the trees of Suldanessellar! |
| 54848 We shall drive you back, dark ones! There will be no tolerance of your Underdark ways! |
| 54849 The way to your soul shall be revealed, but you only perceive it as a door. A pity that mortal minds can encompass more power than their faculties can comprehend. |
| 54850 I hope you have been careful, child of Bhaal. The Nine Hells are a place of retribution... the Tears sting as easily as they soothe. |
| 54851 Why are you speaking so cryptically? What does that mean? |
| 54853 I obscure the truth because it is my nature to do so, O <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder. But I bow to your mastery here and answer your questions nevertheless. |
| 54854 Join the wretched darkness, fools! |
| 54855 Hah! Taste my steel, fiend. Ho, <CHARNAME>! Let us finish this! |
| 54857 Ahhh... ssso, you come to us at lassst, child of Bhaal. You come to claim your heritage, perhapsss? And in pieces, no lessss. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tssssk... how terrible it mussst be to die in sssuch a ssstate. |
| 54858 Claim my heritage? What are you talking about? |
| 54859 Thisss isss Bhaal'sssss realm. You have not faded to join the former Lord of Murder'ssss essssence, hass you? No... ssssso your blood holdsss sssway here. |
| 54860 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54861 You holdss power here... or rather the pieccce of Bhaal within you holdsss power here. And that part ressstss now in both you andss the other one, the wizard, yesss? |
| 54862 He ssstole much of your sssoul, but not all, sso you are tethered to him, asss he isss to you. Neither of youss iss dead, and neither iss alive. Interesssting. |
| 54863 So how do I end this, fiend? Will you tell me that? |
| 54864 But you already knowsss! You mussst ssseek your sssoul by gathering the Tearssss of Bhaal... only *then* shall the wayss be open to you. |
| 54865 The Tears of Bhaal? |
| 54866 Death caussesss many tearsss, child, and Bhaal collected them whiless he lived. The Tearssss will open the eyesss... and show you the path to your sssssoul. |
| 54867 Arkanis! The thing bit me! Help! |
| 54868 You are mine now, thief. Join thy mistress below; we shall yet have use of you. |
| 54869 <CHARNAME>, you're late. We've started without you! |
| 54870 I'd expected more from vampires. I've barely broken a sweat. |
| 54871 'Tis, hungry work, Drizzt. Can we eat after this? |
| 54872 Always the same with ye, Rumblebelly. |
| 54873 <CHARNAME> and I can handle the rest. My thanks, friends. We shall meet in the graveyard when I've finished the work. |
| 54874 Always ye be gettin' to have all the fun, elf. |
| 54875 When the last of Bodhi's vampires kin have fallen, the door to her lair opens and the rancid smell of death awaits you down the stairs. |
| 54876 My knights, you may return to the Order house. <CHARNAME> and I shall go to face Bodhi. |
| 54877 Well done, rogues! You may go. I shall continue with <CHARNAME> to face Bodhi. |

| 54881 And hence, your esssence hass not faded to rejoin the deadss Lord of Murder. Thisss isss Bhaal'sss realm, and your blood holdss ssway in thiss piece of Hell. |

| 54892 WILD MAGE: Wild magic is a new type of magic that is characterized by powerful and dangerous surges of unpredictable magic. Generally considered to be an unfortunate byproduct of the Time of Troubles, wild magic has recently begun to attract the attention of many a curious or scholarly wizard. Wild Mages are wizards who specialize in the study of wild magic. They have access to spells to protect themselves from wild magic and bend it to their wills. Wild magic is extremely unpredictable and should be used with caution. CLASS FEATURES: – May memorize one additional spell per level. – May cast the 1st-level spell Nahal's Reckless Dweomer. – May cast the 2nd-level spell Chaos Shield (included in spellbook for free). – May cast the 7th-level spell Improved Chaos Shield (included in spellbook for free). – Upon casting a spell, there is a 5% chance of incurring a wild surge. WILD SURGE: A wild surge generates a completely random magical effect from the spell being cast. Its effects may be either beneficial or detrimental to the Wild Mage and <PRO_HISHER> allies. – Casting level varies slightly whenever <PRO_HESHE> casts a spellâ€â€anywhere between five levels lower and five levels higher than the Wild Mage's true level. |

| 54895 Animal trouble in Trademeet I have agreed to try and help Trademeet, which is southeast of Athkatla. They are suffering from a strange animal-based siege, and the local druids are suspected. High Merchant Lord Logan Coprith may have information for me. |
| 54896 Ahhh... ssso the child of Bhaal comes to me, finally, for the lassst of the Tears of Bhaal. You have come very near to locating your quarry... yeees, yes, indeed you have. |
| 54897 What are you talking about?! All I have done is been subjected to a series of strange tests! |
| 54898 Tesstss? Of a ssort. Remember that the mage holdss power here too and sseekss to prevent you finding him. The tesstss are of your ownss making, from your ownss power here. |
| 54899 What do you mean? |
| 54900 How doess one find one'ss sssoul, child of Bhaal? You musst know yoursself, the depthss of your passion and the heightss of your depravity. |
| 54901 You comess to know what you are capable of... and that sshall open the way to finding your sssoul. You sseek yoursself, your esssence... whether you knowss it or not. |
| 54902 And becausse thiss iss what you sseek, your power fightss against the mage'ss and workss to reach your goal. Ssoon, you will open the eyess with the Tearss of Bhaal. |
| 54903 And what then? The door will be open and Irenicus will be there? |
| 54904 The way to your sssoul shall be sshown, but it iss a doorway only in your perception. A mortal mind can attain more power here than itss facultiess can comprehend. |
| 54905 I hopesss you have been careful, child of Bhaal. The Nine Hellsss are a place of retribution... the Tearsssss sting asss easssily asss they ssssoothe. |
| 54906 Why are you speaking so cryptically? What does that mean? |
| 54907 I obssscure the truth becausse it iss my nature to do sso, O <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder. But I bow to your massstery here and ansswer your questionss neverthelesss. |
| 54908 I suppose you're going to tell me Irenicus has been waiting behind that strange doorway this entire time? |
| 54909 Of coursse not. He movess quickly, yet you are fasster. These tesstss you place on yourself are clever, young <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder. Your power here iss sstrong. |
| 54910 What do you mean? |
| 54911 You are making no sense. Explain or die, fiend. |
| 54912 Your prey movess quickly, but the tesstss you devised for yoursself lead you ever closser to him. Your power iss sstrong here desspite the ressisstance of the mage. |
| 54913 What do you mean? |
| 54914 Ahhh... so you have come to us at last, child of Bhaal. You have come to claim your heritage, perhaps? And in pieces, no less. Tsk tsk tsk... how terrible it must be to die in such a state. |
| 54915 Claim my heritage? What are you talking about? |
| 54916 Your heritage, child. This is Bhaal's realm. You have not faded to join the former Lord of Murder's essence, have you? No... so your blood holds sway here. |
| 54917 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54918 You hold power here, or rather, the piece of you that is Bhaal's does. And that part of you rests now in both you and the other one, the wizard, yes? |
| 54919 He stole much of your divine soul, but not all, so you are tethered together. Neither truly dead and neither truly alive. Ah, most interesting indeed. |
| 54920 So how do I end this, fiend? Will you tell me that? |
| 54921 But you already know! You must seek your soul by gathering the Tears of Bhaal... only then shall the way be open to you. |
| 54922 The Tears of Bhaal? |
| 54923 Death causes many tears to fall, child, and Bhaal collected many while he lived. The Tears will open the eyes... and show you the path to your soul. |
| 54924 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Not interested Flydian at the city gates was soliciting help for Trademeet. It's under an animal-based siege where druids are suspected. I told him I wasn't interested at this time. |
| 54925 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Met with militia The Trademeet militia captain was relieved that I wished to help stop the attacks the town has suffered. She directed me to High Merchant Lord Logan Coprith. She warned that the scared townsfolk are suspicious of outsiders, especially druids. |
| 54926 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Unnecessary violence I have fought the militia captain in Trademeet. I don't know the nature of the animal attacks they have been suffering, or if their suspicions against druids are justified, but this battle will certainly not help the situation. |
| 54927 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Not interested The militia captain in Trademeet says that the town is under sustained attack by animals. Local druids are suspected. I said I was not interested in helping at this time. She suggested I leave. |
| 54928 Problems in Trademeet? The militia captain in Trademeet was most confrontational. Apparently, something has made the town very suspicious of strangers. |
| 54929 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Refused Lord Logan High Merchant Lord Logan Coprith says Trademeet is under siege by animal attacks and that the townsfolk suspect druids of organizing it. A druid named Cernd was captured, but Lord Logan does not believe he is responsible. He asked that I speak with Cernd or possibly escort him out of town. I refused. |
| 54930 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Asked to escort Cernd High Merchant Lord Logan Coprith says Trademeet is under siege by animal attacks. A druid named Cernd was apprehended by townsfolk, but Lord Logan does not believe him responsible. I am to escort him out of town or at least talk to him. Cernd is in the town jail, which is located in the basement of the mayor's house. |
| 54931 <CHARNAME> can now change into the Slayer at will. |
| 54932 Bodhi crumbles before you, her body no more than an empty shell as the stolen soul within is freed. There is the faint glimpse of an apparition of some sort, and then... nothing. With her death, a panel opens inside her coffin. The Lanthorn is within. |
| 54933 The Slayer drains the strength of the party. |
| 54934 Slayer Fear |
| 54935 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Saved the day? I helped Trademeet without knowing it. With Faldorn dead, animals have stopped attacking the town. A druid named Cernd remains a prisoner, but Lord Logan Coprith asked that I tell him he is free to go. Perhaps this Cernd will accompany me. |
| 54936 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Saved the day? I helped Trademeet without even knowing it. With Faldorn dead, animals have stopped attacking the town. A druid named Cernd remained a prisoner, but upon my refusal to talk to him, Lord Logan set him free. No loss to me, though Logan did say that Cernd was big on traveling... |
| 54937 I am not dead! Irenicus is dead, and somehow I have followed him here. |
| 54938 And hence the fact that your essence has not disintegrated to rejoin the former Lord of Murder. This is Bhaal's realm here... and your blood holds sway in this piece of Hell. |
| 54939 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54940 What are you talking about, "in pieces"? What kind of riddle is this? |
| 54941 I speak of your soul, child of murder. You are a piece of the whole, and your essence has not faded to rejoin Bhaal. Therefore, your blood holds sway here. |
| 54942 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54943 Continue to speak to me in such a manner, fiend, and you shall perish where you stand. |
| 54944 I bow before you, of course. You are a child of murder, but your essence has not rejoined dead Bhaal. In your father's realm, your blood holds sway. |
| 54945 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54946 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Joined with Cernd I have joined with Cernd. He worries that the attacks on Trademeet are linked to a druid circle that has ceased communicating with the greater hierarchy. He fears that the situation may degrade into a war between the town and nature. We are to travel to a druid grove south of Trademeet and investigate. |
| 54947 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Joined with Cernd I joined with Cernd to investigate the strange happenings at the druid grove south of Trademeet. He fears that the druids there have had an unfortunate leadership change, causing conflict in the area. He said that it is in my best interests to help, as every druid eventually goes to the grove to challenge for their title and status. |
| 54948 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Said I'd meet Cernd Cernd thinks the events in Trademeet might have something to do with a local druid grove losing touch with the greater hierarchy. I said I might investigate, but I didn't want him to join my party. I will meet him at the grove and discuss it there. |
| 54949 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Investigate the grove Cernd has directed me to investigate the druids in the grove south of Trademeet. If I really wish to help, I am to report any findings to him. |
| 54950 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Jaheira's betrayal I refused Cernd's request to investigate the druids near Trademeet, and my party has split because of it. Jaheira wouldn't take "no" as an answer and ultimately attacked me. A pity. |
| 54951 Animal trouble in Trademeet: I refused, but he'll wait I refused to help Cernd investigate the druids near Trademeet. He says that he will wait there until I change my mind. He also said that all druids must eventually go to the grove to challenge for their title and status. This may eventually affect Jaheira. |
| 54952 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Joined to investigate I have joined with Cernd to investigate the trouble with the druids near Trademeet. He has suggested that we seek them out, as many may recognize him and give us information. |
| 54953 Ah. So the child of Bhaal comes to me, finally, for the last of the Tears of Bhaal. You have come very near to locating your quarry, O young <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder. Yes, indeed you have. |
| 54954 What are you talking about?! All I have done is been subjected to a series of strange tests! |
| 54955 Tests? Of a sort. Remember that the mage holds power here too and seeks to prevent you from finding him. The tests are of your own making, from your own power. |
| 54956 What do you mean? |
| 54957 How do you find your soul, child of Bhaal? Do you find it on a stroll? No, you must know yourself, the depths of your passion and the heights of your depravity. |
| 54958 You come to know what you are capable of, and that shall open the way to your soul. It is yourself, your essence, that you seek... whether you know it or not. |
| 54959 And because this is what you seek, your power fights against the mage and brings you closer to your goal. Soon, you shall open the eyes with the Tears of Bhaal. |
| 54960 And what then? The door will be open and Irenicus will be there? |
| 54961 The way to your soul shall be revealed, but you only perceive it as a door. A pity that mortal minds can encompass more power than their faculties can comprehend. |
| 54962 I hope you have been careful, child of Bhaal. The Nine Hells are a place of retribution... the Tears sting as easily as they soothe. |
| 54963 Why are you speaking so cryptically? What does that mean? |
| 54964 I obscure the truth because it is my nature to do so, O <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder. But I bow to your mastery here and answer your questions nevertheless. |
| 54965 I suppose you're going to tell me Irenicus has been waiting behind that strange doorway this entire time? |
| 54966 Of course not. He moves fast, yet you close on him quickly. The tests you make are clever, O young <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder. Your power here is strong. |
| 54967 What do you mean? |
| 54968 You are making no sense. Explain or die, fiend. |
| 54969 Your prey moves quickly, but the tests you devise for yourself lead ever closer to him. Your power is strong here despite his resistance. |
| 54970 What do you mean? |
| 54974 You have finally joined us, to claim your heritage as I had attempted. A pity that you arrive in pieces, weak and pathetic. My death was far more final than yours. |
| 54975 Claim my heritage? What are you talking about? |
| 54976 *snort* You don't know? This is Bhaal's realm, and since your essence has not joined with our dead father, you are still partly alive and your blood holds sway here. |
| 54977 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54978 Your soul is tainted by the touch of our father, fool, and it is that part which rules over this realm. But you share your soul with another, don't you? |
| 54979 The mage, he stole most of your soul, but not all. You are tethered like a helpless calf, dragged into Hell after him. Neither of you is truly alive, or truly dead. |
| 54980 Irenicus? Do you know where he is? |
| 54981 Bah! Have you heard nothing? You have *power* here. Already you search, and already the mage obstructs you. The Tears of Bhaal are your only choice. |
| 54982 The Tears of Bhaal? |
| 54983 A tear fell for every murdered soul, every torment paid by our father, and he kept each one. They can show the path to your wizard... if you gather them all, that is. |
| 54984 I am not dead! Irenicus is dead, and somehow I have followed him here. |
| 54985 And therefore your essence has not joined with our dead father, fool. You are still partly alive... and as this is Bhaal's realm, your blood holds sway here. |
| 54986 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54987 What are you talking about, "in pieces"? |
| 54988 I speak of your soul, fool. You are just a part, not fully dead, so your essence has not joined our dead father. This is his realm, so your blood holds sway here. |
| 54989 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54990 And I can kill you again if need be, Sarevok! |
| 54991 We shall see. Unlike me, your essence has not rejoined our dead father. You yet live, so in his realm, your blood holds sway. I would gladly strip that from you. |
| 54992 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 54993 You have been collecting the Tears on your hunt and have drawn near the mage you chase so relentlessly. Very clever, <CHARNAME>... more than I expected of you. |
| 54994 What are you talking about?! All I have done is been subjected to a series of strange tests! |
| 54995 Hmph. You are testing yourself, if that is the case. The mage holds power here too, fool; he is influencing this place just as you, and you use the tests to find him. |
| 54996 What do you mean? |
| 54997 It is your soul you seek, foolâ€â€what the mage stole! Did you think it would be in a box, or if you walked about long enough, you would see it? Do not be such a buffoon! |
| 54998 You test yourself to know your abilities and faults more fully, to know your soul better. You are looking for yourself, <CHARNAME>, whether you know it or not. |
| 54999 And the mage fights against you. He prepares, but he knows the soul he holds is not his. You *will* find him. Soon, all of the eyes on the door will be open. |
| 55000 And what then? The door will be open and Irenicus will be there? |
| 55001 Bah! It is a doorway only in your mind! Your power and perception creates reality here! Do you not even know *that*?! Pfeh! To think that *you* killed *me*! |
| 55002 Do you even know the nature of the Tears, or the price you pay acquiring them? The Nine Hells is for retribution, and if you stumble blindly, you are twice the fool! |
| 55003 What is their true nature? What price are you talking about? |
| 55004 I will not tell you. I am not here to give you revelation. I am here for retribution. |
| 55005 I suppose you're going to tell me Irenicus has been waiting behind that strange doorway this entire time? |
| 55006 Don't be ridiculous. He is using his power over Bhaal's realm like you are. If you test yourself, you are doing it to track him, and as I said, you are nearly there. |
| 55007 What do you mean? |
| 55008 You are making no sense. Explain or die! |
| 55009 You are not even aware that you test yourself? The mage uses his power to obscure himself, and you are using the tests to find him... and you are very close. |
| 55010 What do you mean? |
| 55011 Ahhh... so you have come to us at last, child of Bhaal. You have come to claim your heritage, perhaps? And in pieces, no less. Tsk tsk tsk... how terrible it must be to die in such a state. |
| 55012 Claim my heritage? What are you talking about? |
| 55013 Your heritage, child. This is Bhaal's realm. You have not faded to join the former Lord of Murder's essence, have you? No... so your blood holds sway here. |
| 55014 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 55015 You hold power in this place, or rather, the piece of you that is Bhaal's holds power. And that part of you now rests in both you and the other, the wizard, yes? |
| 55016 He stole much of your soul, but not all. So you are tethered to each other, neither truly dead and neither truly alive. Ah, most interesting indeed. |
| 55017 So how do I end this, fiend? Will you tell me that? |
| 55018 But you already know! You must seek your soul by gathering the Tears of Bhaal... only then shall the way be open to you. |
| 55019 The Tears of Bhaal? |
| 55020 Death causes many tears to fall, child, and Bhaal collected many while he lived. The Tears will open the eyes... and show you the path to your soul. |
| 55021 I am not dead! Irenicus is dead, and somehow I have followed him here. |
| 55022 And hence, your essence has not faded to rejoin the former Lord of Murder. This is Bhaal's realm... and your blood holds sway in this piece of Hell. |
| 55023 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 55024 What are you talking about, "in pieces"? What kind of riddle is this? |
| 55025 I speak of your soul, child of murder. You are a piece of the whole, so your essence has not faded to rejoin Bhaal. Therefore, your blood holds sway here. |
| 55026 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 55027 Continue to speak to me in such a manner, fiend, and you shall perish where you stand. |
| 55028 I bow before you, of course. You are a child of murder whose essence has not rejoined dead Bhaal. In your father's realm... your blood holds sway. |
| 55029 Holds sway? What are you speaking of? |
| 55030 Ahhh. So the child of Bhaal comes to me, finally, for the last of the Tears of Bhaal. You have come very near to locating your quarry. Oh yes, indeed you have. |
| 55031 What are you talking about?! All I have done is been subjected to a series of strange tests! |
| 55032 Tests? Of a sort. Remember that the mage holds power as well and seeks to prevent you finding him. The tests are of your own making, from your own power. |
| 55033 What do you mean? |
| 55034 How do you find your soul, child of Bhaal? Do you find it on a stroll? No, you must know yourself, the depths of your passion and the heights of your depravity. |

| 55037 And what then? The door will be open and Irenicus will be there? |
| 55038 The way to your soul shall be revealed, but you only perceive it as a door. A pity that mortal minds can encompass more power than their faculties can comprehend. |
| 55039 I hope you have been careful, child of Bhaal. The Nine Hells are a place of retribution... the Tears sting as easily as they soothe. |
| 55040 Why are you speaking so cryptically? What does that mean? |
| 55041 I obscure the truth because it is my nature to do so, O <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder. But I bow to your mastery here and answer your questions nevertheless. |
| 55042 I suppose you're going to tell me Irenicus has been waiting behind that strange doorway this entire time? |
| 55043 Of course not. He moves fast, yet you close on him quickly. The tests you place on yourself are clever, O young <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder. Your power is strong. |
| 55044 What do you mean? |
| 55045 You are making no sense. Explain or die, fiend. |
| 55046 Your prey moves quickly, but the tests you have devised for yourself lead you closer to him. Your power is strong despite the resistance of the mage. |
| 55047 What do you mean? |
| 55048 One of the Tearssss doessss lie near thisss very place. It isss in the possession of another, one with sssso much power. Sssso difficult to defeat, it isss. |
| 55049 But all thingss, even the most powerful, can be overcome, yess? You have defeated many whose claims of power were ssso hollow. You tore them down from their thronesss... |
| 55051 What does that have to do with the Tear? |
| 55052 Ahhh, alwaysss you have used the right toolsss to defeat your foesss, yesss? And I am giving you now the right tool to defeat thisss one. |
| 55053 Here it iss... gaze upon the sssword that is named "Blackrazor." Mosst powerful, it iss. And it iss the tool you need to defeat the one who holdss the Tear. |
| 55054 It isss for you to decide, child of Bhaal, how to usssse the tool you have. I leave you to your choiccce, then, young <PRO_LADYLORD> of thisss place... |
| 55055 *groan* I see the ruler of this small plane has come to me. Perhaps my eternal torment shall be relieved at long last! Oh, I can only hope. |
| 55056 Are you the one who guards the Tear of Bhaal? |
| 55060 "In the lair of a crimson wyrm, but not a trinket in the hoard; a liar points the way to treasure, though she knows not the one she holds." I am sorry, but my sages could not speak clearer than this. |
| 55061 "A traitor among the thieves, he seeks the height of leadership within a guild anew, not knowing the prize he holds." I'm sorry this is unclear, but I think sages make a habit of being confusing on purpose. |
| 55062 "Jailor of the tiefling, he knows not what he has. On the path of minstrels and troubadours lies a prize within the altar." I hope this has meaning for you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 55063 "In the hand of a beast of shadow amidst the ruins of light near witches and hills. The pane is a curiosity, but he knows its power not." My sages could be no more specific than this. |
| 55064 My sages detected no artifact when you arrived. You have not secured the Lanthorn yet? Remember, I suggested getting help if you fear confronting Bodhi on your own. |
| 55065 Eternal torment? What do you mean by that? |
| 55066 It shall be relieved by your death! |
| 55067 Note to Order |
| 55068 I am, to my everlasting lament. It is my punishment that I hold the Tear of Bhaal, to remain evermore until certain... conditions are met. Only then may I be free. |
| 55069 What conditions are those? |
| 55070 *sigh* It is a punishment. I have been brought to this plane to hold the Tear of Bhaal, and I shall remain for eternity until certain... conditions... are met. |
| 55071 And what conditions might those be? |
| 55072 It shall indeed. You have been given the key which allows you to end my life... and that too is a release. I welcome it... should you prove able. |
| 55073 I... cannot tell you directly, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. It is a condition of my punishment that I can only tell you of its nature in a riddle. Listen carefully: |
| 55074 Note to Order |
| 55075 "Ye who hold the razor's blade forged of darkest iron, quenched by blood and fear, know that ye hold the key to the one who guards Bhaal's sacred murdered Tear." |
| 55076 So... let me get this straight. The sword Blackrazor is the key to getting the Tear of Bhaal from you? |
| 55077 I cannot answer that, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 55078 So if I were to give you Blackrazor, would you give me the Tear? And that would release you from your punishment? |
| 55079 So the sword allows me to kill you, is that it? That would release you from your punishment? |
| 55080 It does not matter... I do not have the sword at the moment anyway. |
| 55081 It would, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 55082 But Blackrazor also allows me to kill you, is that right? That would release you, too. |
| 55083 Take the sword, then. I have no need of it. |
| 55084 I'm not sure what I want to do, then. |
| 55085 You do not need the sword itself to do that. The fact that you were given Blackrazor is enough, even if you possess it no longer. But, yes... that too would be a release. |
| 55086 But I could give you the sword as well, right? That would release you from guarding the Tear? |
| 55087 Then I suppose it's time for you to die! |
| 55088 I'm not sure what I want to do. |
| 55089 You do not need the blade to end my life, however. The fact that you were given Blackrazor is enough to allow my release... should you wish to do this. |
| 55090 Really? Then I suppose it is time for you to die! |
| 55091 But if I returned with the blade and gave it to you... would that release you from your punishment? |
| 55092 I am most grateful to you, then, for my release. Oh, may the Heavens sing your praises for this charity you have shown me, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! |
| 55093 You may always return to me if you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I have nowhere else to go. |
| 55094 I welcome such a release... should you prove able. |
| 55095 It would, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 55096 I would rather just destroy you now, actually. |
| 55097 Perhaps I shall return with the sword, then. |
| 55098 I am not sure what to do. |
| 55099 As you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 55100 You yet hold the key to my release from this agony that is my prison. Will you not release me? |
| 55101 Tell me that riddle again first. |
| 55102 So if I give Blackrazor to you, that would release you, right? |
| 55103 So the sword allows me to kill you, right? And that would be a release? |
| 55104 I do not hold the key... I don't have the sword with me, genie. |
| 55105 Know you, child, that there is a Tear of Bhaal in this place before us... yet there are two paths that lead to it. Two doors, two paths, yet both lead to your goal, yes? |
| 55106 You have made many choices on the journey that was your life. Many paths have you taken, and always they have had an effect on those around you... even when that was not your intention. |
| 55107 Yes, I want to see another slave explode! |
| 55108 I think not. |
| 55109 Suit yourself. |
| 55110 Here we go... |
| 55111 Such is the fate of those born with Destiny... the consequences of the actions they take ripple about them throughout all that is reality. |
| 55112 Perhaps the fate of others concerns you little. Perhaps it consumes your soul. That too is a choiceâ€â€an action taken, a ripple set into the pond of reality. |
| 55113 What does all this have to do with the Tear, then? |
| 55114 The path that you take to the Tear will affect another this day. Another who is innocent of the action you takeâ€â€and yet affected by it just the same. |
| 55115 One of those who travels with you, who orbits your destiny and yet is innocent of your taint... will do nicely. |
| 55116 Remember, child of Bhaal, a choice must be made... and you must live with the consequences of that choice. *cackle* Go to my left and sacrifice for the innocent. Go to my right and save yourself. |
| 55117 An innocent... completely unknown to you and conjured from the realm of the Prime Material Plane, a human of... good and decent nature... hehe... will do very nicely! *cackle* Go to my left and sacrifice for the innocent. Go to my right and save yourself. |
| 55118 Wha�! What is this place?! Why am I here?! |
| 55119 Calm yourself, human. Your tenure here shall be short. Plead to the child of Bhaal for mercy, if you wish. Your fate this day rests in <PRO_HISHER> hands, not mine. |
| 55120 The consequence of your choice is thus: Your companion is destroyed, as a result of your actions if not your intent. Such is the path of Destiny, forged by those with the will to know they are preeminent. |
| 55121 The consequence of your choice is thus: The innocent is murdered, as a result of your actions if not your intent. Such is the path of Destiny, forged by those with the will to know they are preeminent. |
| 55122 A selfless act, from one who willingly shoulders the burden of Destiny and its effect upon others. Your companion is returned to you, child of Bhaal. |
| 55123 Return to Athkatla and recover the Lanthorn. It is our only chance to find and defeat Irenicus. |
| 55124 A selfless act, from one who willingly shoulders the burden of Destiny and its effects upon others. The innocent lives... and shall be returned whence he came. |
| 55125 The Tear of Bhaal is yours, child. |
| 55126 You have the Lanthorn! It is in the hands of the murderous Bodhi no longer! I feel the tide of this crisis is certainly changing. |
| 55127 It is a good thing you have come to me, child of Bhaal. Only you hold the power to vanquish the terrible creature that holds one of your dead father's Tears here. |
| 55128 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Apprised Cernd I have told Cernd what I know of the situation with Faldorn and the druids. He has said that only a challenge from another druid can unseat her, and I have suggested that Jaheira give it a try. |
| 55129 I have heard of your prowess, child... most impressive, for a mortal life. Creatures of great power thrown aside as if they were nothing! Beings any other mortal would quake before you have fought against valiantly! |
| 55130 You are a wonder of destruction, child of Bhaal! Go, then, and defeat the creature that lies in the cavern! Crush it beneath your heel and claim another victory! |
| 55131 Very well, I shall defeat whatever lies within! |
| 55132 If it guards the Tear of Bhaal, then I suppose I have little choice. |
| 55133 What manner of creature do you speak of? |
| 55134 Excellent! Go forth, strong one... go into the cavern and strike a blow for your destiny! Take the Tear whether the creature likes it or not! |
| 55135 It is a powerful creature, child of Bhaal. One that only you can destroy! I am confident in your ability to deal death to such a creature as this and take the Tear that is yours! |
| 55136 Very well, it shall not stand in my way! |
| 55137 If it guards the Tear, then I shall defeat it if I can. |
| 55138 It's powerful... but what manner of creature *is* it? |
| 55139 It is a creature that deserves death, child of Bhaal. You are such a wondrous fighter, I simply thought that you could defeat it where others failed. |
| 55140 Well, if it deserves death, then I shall hasten to comply. |
| 55141 Why does it deserve death? |
| 55142 Because... because it exists. It stands in your way. |
| 55143 Are you saying that it will not give me the Tear? |
| 55144 I do not kill things just because they are in my way. |
| 55145 I see. Good enough for me, then. |
| 55146 Well... no. It *might* give it to you if you ask it nicely enough, I suppose. |
| 55147 I see that despite your great deeds, you have no pride in you, child of Bhaal. So be it. Humility serves well those who wield it well. |
| 55148 You do not? Then perhaps you consider carefully the place that your terrible power will focus upon? Consider the reason behind every blow? |
| 55149 So we meet again. How fitting that our reunion should be in this... place of retribution. |
| 55150 Sarevok?! |
| 55151 It is I. Or an echo, perhaps. My essence joined that of our dead father after you murdered me, after all... but in the end, all the children of Bhaal end up here. |
| 55152 I have one of the Tears of Bhaal you will need. I will not hand it over to you, however. You do not deserve it. |
| 55153 Deserve it? What do you mean by that? |
| 55154 You are in no position to place judgment on me, Sarevok. |
| 55155 Don't make me laugh! I will take it from your corpse if need be! |
| 55156 Hand it over or die, shade! |
| 55157 I mean you are a pathetic worm, a sniveling little cretin. I relished spitting Gorion on my blade, and were there true justice, our positions would be reversed now! |
| 55158 You dare speak of Gorion! |
| 55159 True justice would be destroying you forever! |
| 55160 I warn you, Sarevok... hand over the Tear or your existence here will be a short one! |
| 55161 That's it! Die! |
| 55162 But I am. I am in excellent position. Rule of this realm was rightfully mine, and had I spitted *you* on my blade as easily as that pathetic wizard Gorion, our positions would be reversed now! |
| 55163 You dare to speak of Gorion! |
| 55164 But they aren't, are they?! I killed you then, and I can do so now! |
| 55165 I warn you, Sarevok... hand over the Tear or your existence here will be a short one! |
| 55166 I've had enough of you! Prepare to die again! |
| 55167 Ah, yes. Stoke that infernal wrath of yours. I can *feel* the anger within you, boiling like a pit of sulfur in the crevices of your heart! |
| 55168 You feel it, do you not? The taint that surrounds your soul like a serpent, squeezing it, spreading its venom? That taint, that wrath, exists in all the children of Bhaal... but few know how to use it. |
| 55169 You have become the Slayer, have you not? The avatar of our dead father. The blackest expression of murder... I see it behind your eyes. Summon your wrath for me... if you can. |
| 55170 No! I will not give into the taint! |
| 55171 Why?! What do you get out of this?! |
| 55172 You want me to become the Slayer again? I can't just control it like that! |
| 55173 Very well! You want my wrath, Sarevok?! You have it! |
| 55174 You are the one who brought me here. Your power over this place has summoned forth my essence once again. And why do you think you have done that? |
| 55175 I can teach you how to use your wrath. You can control the taint, direct it, summon it at will! You can become the Slayer at will and become the weapon of murder that you were meant to be! |
| 55176 So think of me! Think of how I destroyed your precious Gorion! How I plundered the lives of your Candlekeep! Summon your rage, stir the depths of your black heart! |
| 55177 Summon wrath! Summon wrath and *become* it! Because if you cannot, then you are not worth your destiny! It should have been I! It should have been I! ATTACK ME, WORM, IF YOU DARE! |
| 55178 No! I won't do it! I don't need the taint, and I won't use it! |
| 55179 I don't feel the wrath you claim, Sarevok. I pity you and what you have become, but that is all. |
| 55180 If this will allow me to become the Slayer when I wish, then so be it! It shall be a pleasure to destroy you again! |
| 55181 YES! DIE! DIE FOREVER! |
| 55182 YES! YOU *ARE* WORTHY ENOUGH TO BATTLE AGAIN! THE CHILD OF BHAAL INCARNATE! |
| 55183 THEN YOU WERE NEVER WORTHY OF BHAAL'S BLOOD, AND I SHALL CRUSH YOU WHERE YOU STAND! |
| 55184 Flee this place lest you fall as a casualty of circumstance! Get to the surface and report to Elhan; he will see to your safety. |
| 55185 It... it's finally over, then. All those terrible things he did to us, and it's finally over. Or... or is it? <CHARNAME>, something's not right... |
| 55186 The evil wizard is dead! Once again, Boo and Minsc and <CHARNAME> emerge as victorious heroes! Much rejoicing and celebrating must be commencing soon! |
| 55187 You are not of the drow! Get to the surface before you fall between our forces. Elhan will see to your safety. |
| 55188 A bitter end to a terrible man. We did well, I think, but I am not certain that all has been restored to as it was. <CHARNAME>? Do you feel any different? |
| 55189 There. It is done. Once again, magic has turned into a dangerous obsession and destroyed more than just the life of its user. *sigh* Must it always be like this? |
| 55190 The pain subsides, and you open your eyes to horror beyond imagining. It is an assault on your senses, a collection of nightmare sensations. This, surely, is Hell. |
| 55191 We are victorious, it seems... but it was almost too easy. There is no sense of finality, of justice, in this. Perhaps it feels that way only because this is an ending? |
| 55192 Whew! For a few minutes there, I thought I was a goner. My life flashed before my eyes, and it didn't even stop at the good parts. Ah well. Anyone want the wizard's boots? I want his boots. What about his hat? Does he have a pointy hat? |
| 55193 Excellent! A well-fought victory over a powerful wizard! Now let us plunder whatever secrets he must possess! He surely has a mother lode of magic at his disposal, oh yes! |
| 55194 The mage was a fool to believe himself so powerful. Now he is dead, as fools usually become. But... what of you, <CHARNAME>? Have you recovered what you lost? |
| 55195 Ah, let the muses fly once again! A victory has been won this day that shall be sung of through the ages! Entropy works its end even on those who seek to rise above it... what a truer claim could be made? |
| 55196 So... so it's over. Just like that. It's odd... I thought things would be different somehow, that it wouldn't be so... so easy. I don't know. |
| 55197 We have come a long way, <CHARNAME>, to reach this day. Much has been lost, but at last the wizard lies dead. A victory in the truest sense of the word. |
| 55198 He is dead! For all his boasts, he was nothing more than another villain waiting to die at the hands of the righteous! |
| 55199 Har! A fine victory, if I does say so meself! Now, all we need doin' is to get out of this tree stump and find ourselves some willing lasses and some decent grog, that's what! |
| 55200 This... this is the victory, then? He seemed to me so... so... godlike, I suppose. To think he could fall and simply die seems wrong somehow. |
| 55201 After all that we went through and this is our victory? He's just dead, and that's all there was to it? Huh... dead. Just like anyone else. It seems so weird. |
| 55202 The wizard strove to upset the balance, and he has met his end. Some might call this a victory, but I say a man has simply died. It strikes me odd that such a man would meet his end so simply. |
| 55203 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Cernd will challenge Cernd will challenge Faldorn for leadership of the druid grove, and I have joined with him that we might present a united front as a group. Cernd seems confident that he will win. |
| 55204 It would seem you are alone; those fighting Irenicus with you did not follow your descent. You felt their pain, but they remained in the land of the living. |
| 55205 I... I feel so strange. I felt myself coming apart, my essence... I don't know. And there was this pulling, this force, and... and I knew it was you. I had to come with you, I just knew I had to. |
| 55206 Had they been closer to death, they might have succumbed to the energies unleashed, but they were not. Now you are alone, unsure as to why you are here at all. |
| 55207 Unless it's because she was a vampire, with no soul of her own. She just... died, and there was only my own soul left? Or maybe it had something to do with your dying at the Tree of Life. I don't know. |
| 55208 Oh, such a glorious death in battle for Minsc and Boo! We were well on our way to the great fields and halls of Rashemen, but we felt you needing us, so we came! |
| 55209 You slowly realize that you are not alone, that others were apparently so wounded in the battle with Irenicus that their souls were dragged to a similar fate as yours. |
| 55210 It... it is not finished, is it? This is death... and your strange power has dragged me here with you. ...So be it then. We stand together until the end. |
| 55211 What...? Whatâ€â€what is this place? I died, I'm sure of it... and I felt... I felt a dragging, a pulling to this place. It was you, wasn't it? You brought me here in your... in your wake. |
| 55212 I died indeed. I... would not be here, normally, except I knew this was not finished, this battle. I felt your tugging, and I came willingly... Mazzy Fentan has never backed away from a battle. |
| 55213 Whoa! This place looks just like... It reminds me of... This is just like that time I... hm. I don't think anything like this has ever happened to me before... |
| 55214 Eh? Oh, the Nine Hells, is it? Hmph. Yes, I felt your infernal power tugging at me, but I was coming here anyway. There might be profit yet by remaining at your side. We'll see. |
| 55215 This is most unusual. Death overwhelmed me in combat, and the darkness came over my senses. I felt a pulling, and followed it, and... and here we are. What place is this, I wonder? |
| 55216 Ahhh, back in the planes, I see. And the hard way too, it seems. Adventuring with you does seem to have its odd turns, my raven. |
| 55217 This... this place is terrible! I felt something pulling at me w-when I died, and I just knew it was you. I had to come. You may need my help here... |
| 55218 A place where the evil dwell after death, this place. I followed your call, <CHARNAME>, only because my duty does not end with the end of my life. Let us finish this here, if we can. |
| 55219 You doubt they will be pleased with their present circumstance when you don't even know why you are here yourself. |
| 55220 There was a grasping when you fell, and those damaged enough in the battle with Irenicus might have been dragged down with you, but no one was there. You are alone, unsure why you are even here. |
| 55221 Groundhog |
| 55222 The puzzle box is empty, and you have no further use for it. |
| 55223 What manner of place is this? I have died and... and come here?! That pulling... you have brought me with you, <CHARNAME>. Bah! I shall help you here if need be... but I wish to find a way out as well! |
| 55224 Hmmm... I felt a draggin' on me foot, almost, when I died... and now here we be. Fair enough. It be far better than anything I were expectin' fer an afterlife. |
| 55225 This... what place is this? I died, I am sure of it! But... did you bring us here, <CHARNAME>? Are things left unfinished with... with Irenicus? Still? |
| 55226 This is s-some kind of plane we're on? Iâ€â€ugh, I feel so strange. We died, didn't we? There was all that pain, and then a pulling, like... like being drawn into a whirlpool... |
| 55227 So. Your quest does not end, even with your death! And somehow your descent into this plane has drawn me here as if into a whirlpool! So be it... I shall help you as best I can. |
| 55228 The way to Irenicus will now be less dangerous, though the mage himself will still prove a deadly foe. Seek him out... destroy his influence once and for all. |
| 55229 So, we are to battle one last time. No more hiding for either of us. |
| 55230 No more slaves to explode today. |
| 55231 But... but why didn't I follow Bodhi into... into wherever she went when she died? |
| 55232 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Cernd will challenge Cernd has agreed to challenge Faldorn's leadership of the druid grove. She will apparently be vulnerable to proper druidic challenges, despite whatever spell she has cast for protection. I did not want him in my group though, so he will challenge on his own. |
| 55233 We're dead, aren't we? If I'm a child of Bhaal, shouldn't I be... be gone, then? Just like Sarevok? Irenicus said I was different, but... I don't know. But I know I'll follow you wherever I can. |
| 55234 Please! There is no one else! Think of my family! Think of the servants and their families! The servants! The trolls may not have killed all the servants... |
| 55235 The guards may be dead, but the servants will have seen the attack and will know how many invaders there are. Please, if you stay, we may have a chance. |
| 55236 Ah... I see that you have finally come to. I almost did not believe it when the priestesses told me that your body was showing signs of life once again. |
| 55237 We resurrected who we could, but it seemed nothing would draw your spirit back. We were about to give up when you began to stir this morning. |
| 55238 H-how... how long was I...? |
| 55239 Dead? A couple of days, no more. However you managed to find your way back, it is good that you have done so. |
| 55240 Despite your reputation, you have done a great service for the elves and Suldanessellar, and to lose you to death after all that has occurred would be a terrible thing. |
| 55241 I have planned a small ceremony to reward you for your actions and to show our gratitude despite what your motives might have been. |
| 55242 You should rest now and regain your strength. I will send a priestess to awaken you when it is time. |
| 55243 You have done a great service for Suldanessellar. You saved the Tree of Life and myself, ending Irenicus's threat. To lose you would have been tragic. |
| 55244 I have planned a ceremony to reward you and to show our gratitude for your actions. You are a hero to the elves... perhaps even a legend in the making. |
| 55245 But enough of that, for the moment. You will need to rest and regain your strength. I will send a priestess to awaken you when it is time. |
| 55246 Those of you who have survived the return of the Exile to Suldanessellar know me, your queen... but only some of you know the hero beside me who was most instrumental in saving our city and the Tree of Life. |
| 55247 Many dark deeds have been associated with your name elsewhere, but here today, we offer sincere thanks to you for the great service which you have performed. |
| 55248 Such selfless acts almost resulted in the loss of your life, and perhaps much more than that. |
| 55249 These deeds were not performed alone... Suldanessellar also extends its gratitude to those who have traveled with you and fought by your side to help save our city. |
| 55250 There is no reward adequate enough for one who has done so much. Let us offer, then, the eternal thanks of our people... and an Amulet of the Seldarine to remind you forever that you are welcome here amongst us. |
| 55251 There is little that would make a suitable reward for such deeds. We offer to you the thanks of our people, as well as gold and the Amulet of the Seldarine to remind others what you have done for us. |
| 55252 As for the man whom we once knew as Joneleth, I can only say... that he died, long ago. He lives in my memory still. |
| 55253 To the man he became... the Exile, Irenicus... he who performed atrocities on you, the Tree, and his former people... to him, I can only send my prayer that he finds the peace in death he never found in life. |
| 55254 I feel I must... apologize on his behalf. For what he put you and your friends through. For his madness, we stripped Joneleth of his elven immortality and exiled him... only to create Irenicus instead. |
| 55255 I cannot help but feel we are partly responsible. It is something I shall have to ponder on. |
| 55256 As for you, I am sure you will be... leaving soon. As a wanderer, I imagine you are eager to resume your travels. Go with the best wishes of Suldanessellar. |
| 55257 As for you, I imagine you are eager to resume your travels once again. We wish you well... know we look forward to your return in the future, should you desire to. |
| 55258 Excuse me, friend, but we're not open. You'll have to come back later. |
| 55259 Hello, my <LADYLORD>, welcome to Lady Galvena's Parlor. How may I serve you? |
| 55260 What sort of establishment is this? |
| 55261 Uh... I'm a new employee of the Lady's. How do I get in to see her? |
| 55262 Uh... I'm a new employee of the Lady's. How do I get in to see her? |
| 55263 It is a palace of romantic delights! The finest off of the Sword Coast! Why, the courtesans of Lady Galvena's Parlor turn none away! |
| 55264 You can save the sales pitch. I'm a new employee. How do I get in to see Lady Galvena? |
| 55265 Animal trouble in Trademeet: I will challenge I told Cernd of the Shadow Druid Faldorn, and he said that only a druid could challenge her leadership of the grove. I have volunteered and will go there on my own without Cernd. I will apprise him of the outcome... if I survive. |
| 55266 I yield. You have proven the better combatant this day. I... I yield the victory. |
| 55267 You can save the sales pitch. I'm a new employee. How do I get in to see Lady Galvena? |
| 55268 That is all that I need. Farewell. |
| 55269 That's the most blatant lie I ever heard. Look, if you want to get in, there are two courtesans out front, and you'll have to pay them for their services just like everyone else. |
| 55270 Fine. I'll leave. |
| 55271 I have proof. Here! Do you see the medallion? |
| 55272 Thief! I know not where you obtained that, but it will not serve you well! Guards! |
| 55273 Thank you for visiting Lady Galvena's Parlor. |
| 55274 I would be interested in partaking of said delights. |
| 55275 Of course! Just out the door of our fine establishment, you shall find a selection of courtesans such as the world has never seen. For a small fee, they shall take care of you. |
| 55276 Ah yes, I see the medallion. One of our new masters. Allow me to open the way. Go downstairs and find the guards. Galvena will see you when she is ready. |
| 55277 I need nothing at this time. |
| 55278 Guards! Thieves try to gain entrance! Kill them! |
| 55279 Enjoy your stay at Lady Galvena's Festhall! |
| 55280 Are you *sure* I can't see what's in the chest? |
| 55281 Are you *sure* I can't see what's inside the chest? |
| 55282 Did the drow summon you to guard just the chest or what's inside the chest? |
| 55283 Hold on, creature. Tell me... did this drow wizard summon you to guard the chest or what's *in* the chest? |
| 55284 One moment. I am curious of something... did this drow you speak of summon you to guard the chest or whatever is inside of it? |
| 55285 And so it shall end here. Welcome. You have been very resourceful in finding me, although I did not go out of my way to hide. |
| 55286 May I ask you a question then, beholder? Were you summoned to guard the chest or simply what is inside of the chest? |
| 55287 I'm sure your reasons for coming are all very important to you. Do spare me the boredom of hearing them. |
| 55288 Hmmm. Well, he screamed "my chest," as I recall. A spear was being thrust through his own chest at the time, though, so he could have been referring to that. |
| 55289 I assume he was talking about *this* chest, though. And that means I can't let you open it... or do anything to it... even if I'm not guarding what's inside. |
| 55290 But that doesn't mean *you* can't open it, right? Then I could get what's inside without touching anything. |
| 55291 Animal trouble in Trademeet: We will challenge I told Cernd of the Shadow Druid Faldorn, and he said that only a druid could challenge her leadership of the grove. I have volunteered, and Cernd has joined with me for support, though he has said that I will be on my own when facing her. |
| 55292 Hey, now... you could open the chest up for us, spiffy-eyes. There isn't anything that says you couldn't, right? Then we could take what's in it! I'm brilliant! Brilliant! |
| 55293 But... you could open the chest, could you not? We would not be touching it then, and yet we could still acquire whatever was within. |
| 55294 Hey, you're probably right. Hmm. Actually, I've been wondering what was inside. Tell you what... I won't turn around, and you just go take a look, okay? |
| 55295 Do-de-dum-de-doo-de-dum-dum... |
| 55296 Hmph. Is that it? Shoot, you'd have thought the whole future of the drow race depended on it or something, the way that mad drow was screaming. |
| 55297 *sigh* I suppose I have to resign myself now to guarding a completely empty chest for the next forty years. Yay. |
| 55298 Why? What would be the point? |
| 55299 I suppose if you have to... |
| 55300 Hah! As a wizard, I can tell you that the drow would never wish that. There is no point in guarding an empty chest, beholder. |
| 55301 Really? I... I mean, with the chest empty now, what would be the point? Who... who would want you to guard an empty chest? |
| 55302 Really? You'd have to go on guarding an empty chest? Why? What could possibly be the point? Even a mad drow would have to see *that*. |
| 55303 You wouldn't have to do that, would you? Keep guarding an empty chest? What would be the point? |
| 55304 Huh. You know... you're absolutely right. Not even that drow mage would want me to guard an empty chest. It's not even a *nice* chest. |
| 55305 There's no way that the beholder council, bloated bladder-bags that they are, would hold me responsible for this contract! I... I'm free! Free! Yippee! |
| 55306 I yield. You have proven the better combatant this day. I... I yield the victory. |
| 55307 I yield. You have proven the better combatant this day. I... I yield the victory. |
| 55308 I yield. You have proven the better combatant this day. I... I yield the victory. |
| 55309 I yield. You have proven the better combatant this day. I... I yield the victory. |
| 55310 What to do now? Hmm. Kill the imps... yeah. Those bastards deserve to die. But first, I'm gonna go eat something. You have *no* idea how hungry I am. |
| 55311 What to do now? Hmm. The Underdark is near here, isn't it? That means a female beholder can't be far. And *that* means... well, never you mind. |
| 55312 Hmm. Maybe I *don't* have to. Not even that drow mage would want me to guard an empty chest, right? No one would want that! It's not even a *nice* chest. |
| 55313 I have come for the Rhynn Lanthorn, Bodhi. You will not escape me this time. |
| 55314 I will avenge what you have done to me and Imoen. You will pay for your crimes. |
| 55315 As if your crimes against me weren't enough, you've endangered an entire elven city! |
| 55316 Well, go ahead and look in the chest already. Sheesh. Whaddaya need, a nudge? I'm afraid I can only offer you a wink there, chummer. |
| 55318 I have no intention of escaping. You have come to your final battle with me, <CHARNAME>, and I intend to enjoy it. I intend... |
| 55319 That old tune? I grow tired of being judged by those inferior to me. First Suldanessellar, now you. They... they told of the theft in their temple, didn't they?! |
| 55320 Duty is the greatest honor, and duty to Helm is above all. |
| 55321 You may try, Imoen, but you will fail. We have worked long to realize our revenge, and it will not be stopped by you. |
| 55322 The Vigilant shall strike you down! |
| 55323 NO! No, it's mine! This life is mine! |
| 55324 In the depths of your being stirs a familiar evil, reaching out of the darkness. It offers power... for a price. Do you accept and sacrifice part of yourself? |
| 55325 I accept, despite the risks. |
| 55326 No, it will not have me. I will not give in. |
| 55327 I feel... I feel better now. I feel whole again. |
| 55328 Thank you for everything you have done. I am restored... and I hope your own healing is not too far off. |
| 55329 I will enjoy destroying you, <CHARNAME>. To die in this place is to cease to exist! |
| 55330 I have defeated you once already, Irenicus. You have no chance. |
| 55331 That would be more than you deserve. It was your scheme that brought us here. |
| 55332 I am in this horrible place because of you. You will pay! |
| 55333 What's the matter, Irenicus? Can't stand the heat? You sound fearful of this place. |
| 55334 I am ready to face you. I have seen the depths of my soul, and I am not afraid. |
| 55335 Yes, perhaps you are focused within yourself, despite the loss of your soul. But I know as much of myself as well, and I too have no fear! |
| 55336 I have as much chance as you, <CHARNAME>. I have fought my own demons in this Hell, and I have learned that it is not to be feared! |
| 55337 I shall not take responsibility for this. No, not this. Though I have found that things are not at their worst. There is value to take from being here, and I have you to thank. |
| 55338 As horrific as this place is, it merely mirrors the soul we now share. Shrink from it if you will, but I have grown to appreciate what it can offer! |
| 55339 Now defend yourself! One of us is not truly dead and may be restored if the other is left here to rot! I will be free with what I have taken! |
| 55340 There is only one possible end. You will fall here, Irenicus. That I promise. |
| 55341 I will restore myself whether dead or alive. You shall not have what belongs to me! |
| 55342 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Balance is restored Faldorn has been defeated. She was killed in a druid battle, and the grove is now free of her influence. Verthan has been appointed challenge master until such time as the grove recovers from the Shadow Druid taint. Trademeet will suffer no more attacks. |
| 55343 I don't care about your theories! You will die again, whether dead already or not! |
| 55344 Do what you must, and I will do the same. |
| 55345 We shall see, <CHARNAME>. We shall see! |
| 55346 Your soul was never truly yours, Bhaal child! You should let me put it to better use! |
| 55347 An odd situation, but I have no doubt about the outcome! |
| 55348 You will not be so calm when I doom you to nonexistence! |
| 55349 The Slayer has surrendered control, but you are weaker in will and closer to losing yourself. You might not be able to withstand the transformation again. |
| 55350 I would be infinitely pleased to have you join me. Welcome! |
| 55351 I would be pleased to have you join me. |
| 55352 I would be infinitely pleased to have you join me. Welcome! |
| 55353 I am in need of another warrior. Join with us. |
| 55354 My business here is done. My child shall be raised by the druids of this place until such a time as he can choose for himself what he wishes to do... and I can return to see him whenever I wish. |
| 55355 I am still available to travel with you if you like, <CHARNAME>. Shall we continue your journey, then? |
| 55356 Certainly. Let's join up and get going. |
| 55357 No, I think we'll travel without you for a while. |
| 55358 He left because he was afraid; afraid of settling down and leaving his blessed nature. Galia went along with their breakup so she wouldn't "hold him back." |
| 55359 Fine man to look at, but cold in the eyes. Treated her bad... didn't get any better when she gave birth. Got worse, to tell th' truth. |
| 55360 If he wants to make amends, Deril's at his home, the southernmost mansion in the Government District. Too late, though. Damage was done two years ago. |
| 55361 Sanik was killed before he could tell me how to get inside! |
| 55362 Well, perhaps he told someone what he knew. There must be someone who can tell you how to get within... find them, for I knew nothing beyond Sanik himself. |
| 55363 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Told Cernd of outcome I told the druid Cernd about how I solved the problems in the druid grove. He was grateful, but I don't know if I wished him in my group. He has gone to the grove, where he has said I may find him if need be. |
| 55364 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Joined with Cernd I apprised the captured Cernd of how I solved the trouble with the druid grove and how I restored balance to the region. He was grateful and offered to join with me now that his duty was done. I'm sure he will be a valuable asset. |
| 55365 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Balance is restored Faldorn has been defeated through the traditional druidic hierarchy. The land will recover in time, as will the citizens of Trademeet. Cernd is now freed of his duty, and I welcome his continued presence in my party. |
| 55366 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Balance is restored Faldorn has been defeated through the traditional druidic hierarchy. The land will recover from her taint in time, as will Trademeet. Cernd is now freed of his duty to restore the grove, but I didn't see a need for his continued presence in my party. He will remain in the grove, helping to heal the land. I may seek him out later if need be. |

| 55372 Spell Trigger is much like Spell Sequencer in that it allows the caster to store several spells in a trigger item that can be released upon any target, including the caster. The spells stored in the sequencer are cast as any other spell and can be accessed through the Special Abilities button on the main screen. It is important to note that when you choose the spells to be stored in the trigger, they will disappear from the ones you have memorized. However, the trigger will last until used, so the caster may rest and gain those spells back. The main use for this spell would be to allow the caster to release multiple spells upon a target very quickly in combat without the possibility of being interrupted. |
| 55373 Contingency spells allow the caster to store a spell(s) inside <PRO_HISHER> body. The spell in question will then be released upon the caster when the condition specified at casting occurs. For example, a wizard could place Stoneskins in a contingency, which could then be set to go off when the caster reaches 50% of <PRO_HISHER> Hit Points. Then, when the caster reaches 50% of <PRO_HISHER> Hit Points, the spell will be released and cast upon the wizard. The uses for this spell are limited only by the imagination of the caster. |

| 55403 To enchant a katana is no simple process. Unlike conventional weapons, the katana is already a near-perfect fighting sword. To improve it usually requires a sacrifice, perhaps a dying samurai might beg a Wu Jen to infuse his fighting spirit into the spirit of the katana. The wielder of an enchanted katana, such as this one, must respect the customs of Kara-Tur and of the samurai who once carried this blade into battle. Not doing so could drastically change one's luck for the worse.

| 55408 Find the worshippers of Ghaunadaur A rather imperious female drow has commanded me to go to the southeastern corner of the drow city and destroy a sect of Ghaunadaur worshippers which are hiding out. I'm not sure what refusing this task would accomplish... nothing good, I expect. |
| 55409 Find the worshippers of Ghaunadaur I have found and destroyed the sect of worshippers... a thankless task, it seems, as I received no reward for it from the drow matron. Other than my "continued existence," apparently. |

| 55427 I was wondering when you would give voice to the looks you have been giving me all eve. Poor Elhan, hating me so. |
| 55430 <CHARNAME>! I'll have your tongue for that! Is your loyalty so fickle? I swear you'll have a fight if you try and remove me from this group in this hostile place! |
| 55432 Bah, such a statement is unnecessary. I am loyal. But if it will help your doubts, I do so swear my loyalty to this cause. |
| 55434 Your distrust is such that you require magical bonds to ensure I commit no treachery? I wonder if the drow are the only elves with darkened hearts. |
| 55435 Intrigue with Jarlaxle Visaj told me of Jarlaxle and his failed attempt to get revenge on a House that had refused him payment for services rendered. Visaj says that he stole a magical rope from Jarlaxle. With it, I would be immune to imprisonment, and I can loot the home of Deirex safely, protected from the lich inside. I suppose there is only one way to test it. |
| 55436 Very well. Have your spells cast and secure my will to the task. I imagine spitting on you for the indignity will be restricted as well? A pity. |
| 55458 Intrigue with Jarlaxle I have been ambushed into the service of Jarlaxle. While his men are indeed captives of the lich Deirex, Visaj's story about stealing the rope was false. Now it appears I must retrieve certain gems from the lich's tower and return them to Jarlaxle lest he reveal my identity in this place. It is not without promise, however, and I may have opportunity to loot the tower as well as House Jae'llat in this deal. I have one day to do it. |
| 55459 Intrigue with Jarlaxle Lies again, of course. The gems Jarlaxle wished stolen did not contain the souls of his men, whom he never risked attacking the lich to begin with. The gems were actually valuable artifacts belonging to House Jae'llat, of which the lich was an ally. Jarlaxle concocted this whole affair for his original goal of retribution against the House that had failed to pay him. I may have gained the means to enter two drow dwellings, but this chicanery makes my head spin. The rope will get me back to where I should be. |

| 55497 Animal trouble in Trademeet: A helpful druid Cernd spoke with a druid that knew him. Apparently, the grove is under the brutal leadership of a Shadow Druid named Faldorn. She has also performed some kind of ritual that has linked her to the grove so that she is invulnerable unless challenged through traditional druidic ceremonies. |
| 55498 Please, you should go before either of us come to harm. Faldorn cannot see me with you. Shadow Druids are very unforgiving of treachery. |
| 55499 Animal trouble in Trademeet: A helpful druid I met with a druid patrolling around the grove. He let slip that a Shadow Druid named Faldorn was controlling the area with an iron fist. He seemed reluctant to harm me, though he also suggested that others would not be as hesitant. |
| 55500 Some of the others have all but joined her as Shadow Druids as well. She is not the only enemy now. I must go. I cannot be seen with outsiders. |
| 55501 She has seduced quite a few with her Shadow Druid wiles. Perhaps he could challenge her... she seems subject to the old ways even as she poisons our intentions. |
| 55502 I must go. I cannot be seen with outsiders. Be careful; you will find few people to help you. |
| 55503 Animal trouble in Trademeet: A helpful druid I spoke with a druid near the grove. He was very glad that Cernd was investigating the trouble they are having. The druid said that a Shadow Druid named Faldorn had taken control of the grove, and he hoped that Cernd would challenge her. |
| 55504 Animal trouble in Trademeet: A violent homecoming Cernd spoke with Dalok, a druid that has welcomed the Shadow Druid that has taken control of the grove. Cernd declared his intent to challenge her. It would appear that this Faldorn is subject to druidic tradition whether a radical or not. |
| 55505 Animal trouble in Trademeet: A violent encounter I have been attacked by a druid proclaiming that I should die "in Faldorn's name." She is apparently a Shadow Druid. |
| 55506 Animal trouble in Trademeet: The Shadow Druid I have met with Faldorn, the Shadow Druid in control of the grove. She has bonded with the land, and the only way to unseat her from power is for another druid to challenge her in one-on-one combat. |
| 55507 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Cernd has challenged Cernd has challenged Faldorn in a duel to the death. The outcome of this battle will determine the fate of the druids and of Trademeet as well. |
| 55508 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Jaheira has challenged Jaheira has entered into battle with Faldorn. The outcome of the fight will determine the fate of Trademeet and the druids alike. |
| 55509 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Balance is restored Faldorn is defeated, and I have received a fine reward for my part in it. The grove will eventually recover, as will Trademeet. Balance is restored. |
| 55510 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Balance is restored Cernd has defeated Faldorn, and balance is restored. The town of Trademeet will be safe now that the druids are back in their proper role. Balance is restored. |
| 55511 Animal trouble in Trademeet: Balance is restored Faldorn is defeated. I have been rewarded, but I am to be afforded an even greater honor for my service to nature. When I rest in the grove, I will be granted a blessing, one that will give additional responsibilities for me as a druid. |
| 55512 Wh-what?! By the Exile, the prisoners have escaped! Between invading thieves and the loss of <CHARNAME>, the master will not be pleased. Come, gray ones, we must be stopping them! |
| 55513 Animal trouble in Trademeet: A foul offer Lord Khellon Menold approached me about poisoning the entire druid grove. The deal was not to my liking. I turned him down. |
| 55514 There is none who need to challenge at this time. |
| 55515 Yes. <PLAYER1> will challenge and assume the title of Great Druid. |
| 55516 Yes. <PLAYER2> will challenge and assume the title of Great Druid. |

| 55522 Thieves' guild stronghold: A meeting with Ama I have been contacted by a woman that says she is the Shadowmaster of eastern Esmeltaran. She produced a signet ring to prove her identity. She wishes me to act as a decoy in ambushing a politician that has grown too meddlesome for his own good. She will set up a meeting with him and me on the pretense of introducing him to a prominent guild leader. I am to meet her in Waukeen's Promenade when it is dark. That is where the ambush will be. |
| 55523 Careful, <CHARNAME>. 'Tis a well-made trap, but no match for me. |
| 55524 Thieves' guild stronghold: Ambush! Ama has proven to be a traitor! Her entire story was a lie, simply to lure me to my doom! She wished to kill me in Mae'Var's name. I am alive to write this, so obviously she did not succeed. I shall be on my guard in the future. |
| 55525 The vampire has turned <CHARNAME>! Now <PRO_HESHE> attacks! |
| 55526 Thieves' guild stronghold: Harsh judgment I have dismissed Lathan from my guild. His mistake with Ama almost got me killed. I don't care whether the guild suffers or notâ€â€we are better off without him. |
| 55527 Thieves' guild stronghold: Thieves among thieves I have been told that one of Kretor's pickpockets has been stealing from the guild. None of the four possible culprits claim to know who has done it. I have decided to do nothing. It is Kretor's problem. He will solve it or pay the consequences. |
| 55529 These are the tents of the elven war party. Within sit grim-faced elves. The knowledge of the cruel blasphemy of the drow drives these warriors to protect their temple at any cost. |
| 55530 Thieves' guild stronghold: Thieves among thieves I have been told that one of Kretor's pickpockets has been stealing from the guild. None of the four possible culprits claim to know who has done it. I have decided to kill them all. I will not have dishonest thieves under me. Kretor can replace them. |
| 55531 Thieves' guild stronghold: Thieves among thieves I have been told that one of Kretor's pickpockets has been stealing from the guild. None of the four possible culprits claim to know who has done it. I have decided to dock all of their pay until the guilty party either comes forward or is turned in. Perhaps that will... encourage some honesty. |
| 55532 Thieves' guild stronghold: Thieves among thieves I have been told that one of Kretor's pickpockets has been stealing from the guild. None of the four possible culprits claim to know who has done it. I have decided to kill one of them. With luck, I'll get the right one. If not, I'm sure the fear will straighten the others out. |
| 55533 Thieves' guild stronghold: Thieves among thieves It would seem that I chose the right thief to kill. Kretor reports that the stealing of guild funds has stopped. A lucky choice indeed. |
| 55534 Thieves' guild stronghold: Thieves among thieves My order to dock the pay of all thieves under Kretor has been fruitful. One of them has turned up dead, undoubtedly snuffed out by cohorts that did not appreciate his thievery cutting into their profits. I doubt I will have any more trouble. |
| 55535 Thieves' guild stronghold: Thieves among thieves Damnation! My order to kill one of the people suspected of stealing from the guild has backfired. Kretor has quit under the strain of holding up that section of the guild on his own. It is a significant blow to my guild. |
| 55536 Thieves' guild stronghold: Thieves among thieves Kretor has quit, shutting down my pickpockets one and all. My plan of inaction did not fare as well as I had hoped. A significant loss to my guild. |
| 55537 Thieves' guild stronghold: Thieves among thieves Kretor has quit, following my order to have all of the pickpockets suspected of stealing guild funds killed. He could not support that section all on his own. A definite loss to my guild. |
| 55538 Thieves' guild stronghold: The guild has failed My thieves will no longer work with me unless I have the support of the main Shadow Thief guild. They suggested that I ask Renal Bloodscalp to reinstate me. |
| 55539 Thieves' guild stronghold: A stable of thieves Jariel has informed me of my duties as guild<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>. I am to assign the activities of my thieves on a weekly basis, judging the risks accordingly. When the results are in, I may take a profit from their actions. I must also pay the guild quotamaster when he comes, conveniently about the same time as my thieves will be done. If I do not pay him on time, the guild will be shut down. The Shadow Thieves do not support guild offshoots that cannot provide adequate profit. |
| 55540 Thieves' guild stronghold: Paying my dues I have paid the quotamaster his due for another five days. Renal shall be pleased with the profit I have shown him. |
| 55541 Thieves' guild stronghold: Payment must come I must pay my guild dues to the quotamaster quickly, or he will declare my guild a failure and Renal will shut it down. |
| 55542 Thieves' guild stronghold: Business as usual I must remember to check in at my thieves' guild every five days or so. I must continue to check on my thieves and also pay the quotamaster. |
| 55543 Thieves' guild stronghold: The price of failure It appears that Renal will allow me to continue as <PRO_MASTERMISTRESS> of my own guild branch, but it will cost me to do so. |
| 55544 Paladin stronghold duties I have been granted a place in the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. I have a room to call my own and will be given duties befitting a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of honor. |
| 55545 Paladin stronghold duties: First test I have been given my first test as a member of the Most Noble Order. I am to go to the furthest reaches of the Umar Hills, where I will find a besieged group of knights. I am to do what I must to save them. I have very little time and must leave immediately. |
| 55546 Paladin stronghold duties I have failed in my service as a member of the Most Noble Order. My actions or lack thereof have caused serious damage, unbefitting a paladin. I have been removed from the Order; the honor that was granted has been stripped. |
| 55547 Paladin stronghold duties: Good people are dead I failed to save even one of the knights that I was sent to rescue. The Order has decided that this tragic loss could not have been avoided. I wish it were so. |
| 55548 Paladin stronghold duties: Good people are dead I saved one of the people I was to rescue, but two were killed despite my efforts. The Order will survive, but that is small consolation to those that knew these people. |
| 55549 Paladin stronghold duties: A good person has fallen I saved two of those I was sent to rescue, but the odds were against the third. The Order will survive, but that is small consolation to those that knew the victim. It is unfortunate, and very bad for morale. |
| 55550 Paladin stronghold duties: Glorious victory! The Order is in a state of jubilation! I managed to save all three of the knights I was sent to protect. A victory for all that is good and right! |
| 55551 Paladin stronghold duties: A baron's request Baron Metrich wishes a number of squatters removed and has cited recent violence against his men as just cause for such action. I must go to the neutral meeting place, a tavern in the Umar Hills, in the village of Imnesvale. I must restore order and bring favor on our name. |
| 55552 Paladin stronghold duties: Uncertain outcome William Reirrac has expressed doubts about the way I handled the incident on the baron's lands, suggesting that new information throws doubts upon the baron's claims. So troubled was he that he wished the matter studied further and might have taken drastic measures, but another matter required immediate attention, and I was given another chance. |
| 55553 Paladin stronghold duties: A fitting end The Order will stand by my actions with the baron I was sent to appease. His claims were lies, and I could not allow him to continue. |
| 55554 Paladin stronghold duties: A child in distress The Morningale family has been slaughtered for their part in combating slavery. I am to go to a safe house where Tyrianna has been secreted away. I am to guard her until her godparent arrives to take her to Baldur's Gate. Hurgis Baltezan will be there as soon as he can. |
| 55555 Paladin stronghold duties: A moral victory Tyrianna is safe and alive in the care of her godparent. Hurgis was apparently delayed getting to the house, almost killed by a group meant to stop him. All is well now. I have been given leave to pursue my own goals for a time. The Order will contact me if they require more service from me. |
| 55556 Paladin stronghold duties: A moral victory Tyrianna is alive and well, thanks to me being able to detect the evil that was about to be perpetrated. The real Hurgis collected her as he said he would, confirming my suspicion that a fake Hurgis had been sent in his place to begin with. I have now been given leave to pursue my own goals. The Order will contact me if further service is required. |
| 55557 Paladin stronghold duties: Doesn't look like squatters I have spoken with Brunson, one of the supposed squatters that I am to oust. He suggested that I go out of my way to speak with some of the others involved in this situation. |
| 55558 Paladin stronghold duties: Are they squatters? Brunson and the others certainly accepted their situation with grace. They don't seem quite the violent lot the baron described them as. |
| 55559 Paladin stronghold duties: Farmers humble in victory Defending the side of right demanded that I dispatch the baron and his men. The farmers are content with this, though perhaps they too wished a peaceful end. |
| 55560 Paladin stronghold duties: Baron not what he seems? I have spoken with Moreno, a hostile young man that claims the baron only took control of this land recently. Perhaps it is not the "squatters" that are attempting to steal the land. |
| 55561 Paladin stronghold duties: Baron not what he seems? I have spoken with Pardo, a nervous man that claims the baron only took control of this land recently. Perhaps it is not the "squatters" that are attempting to steal the land. This person seemed only a farmer forced to extraordinary extremes. |
| 55562 Paladin stronghold duties: Baron not what he seems? The baron is well pleased with the bloody measures I have taken. I am not so sure, however, that the baron has accurately represented himself. Just now, his aid called the "squatters" simple farmers. Still, we have the baron's favor now. |
| 55563 Paladin stronghold duties: I cannot help the baron The evidence and his manner both suggest that the baron is not what he has made himself out to be. I will not aid him. I may even have to take steps to prevent him continuing as he has. |
| 55564 Paladin stronghold duties: Baron will have his way I have informed the baron that I will oust the squatters just as he suggests. Still, his manner has raised questions that I am uncomfortable with. My duty is to help him, but he may not be in the right. |
| 55565 Paladin stronghold duties: The tyrant is to die The baron has proven himself unstable and more of a land tyrant than these simple farmers could ever be. My duty was to aid him, but he was not in the right. I regret the violence, but justice is well served, I think. |
| 55566 Paladin stronghold duties: The girl is hardly a damsel Tyrianna is not too thrilled about her new status as moral leader. Still, I am bound by duty to protect her, and I will not falter in this. |
| 55567 Cleric stronghold I have been welcomed into service of the temple of Lathander. I am to be given space in the temple, a sanctuary whenever I need. I may store any possessions that I wish to within the temple containers. As a servant of Lathander, I am responsible for the well-being of the flock. I am to find Acolyte Lara within the temple immediately. Lara will tell me of my responsibilities and give me my first assignment. |
| 55568 Cleric stronghold I have been welcomed into service of the temple of Talos. I am to be given space in the temple, a sanctuary whenever I need. I may store any possessions that I wish to within the temple containers. As a priest of Talos, I am responsible for enforcing the will of Talos amongst the flock. I am to find Acolyte Vilon within the temple immediately. Vilon will tell me of my responsibilities and give me my first assignment. |
| 55569 Cleric stronghold I have been welcomed into service of the temple of Helm. I am to be given space in the temple, a sanctuary whenever I need. I may store any possessions that I wish to within the temple containers. As a priest of Helm, I am responsible for the well-being of the flock. I am to find Acolyte Byron within the temple immediately. Byron will tell me of my responsibilities and give me my first assignment. |
| 55570 Cleric stronghold: I am to serve the faithful In exchange for the honor of my position, I am to hear questions from the faithful and advise them as the dictates of the church require. I must pay particular attention to how my faith should properly handle the situation. |
| 55571 Cleric stronghold: How to heal a cuckold? I have advised Glinden that he should ignore his wife's infidelity. His marriage will continue despite this simple indiscretion. |
| 55572 Cleric stronghold: How to heal a cuckold? I have advised Glinden that he should kill his wife for her infidelity. Her crime is unforgivable. |
| 55573 Cleric stronghold: How to heal a cuckold? I have advised Glinden that he should remind his wife of her duty to their vows. She will understand that duty is all-important. |
| 55574 Cleric stronghold: How to heal a cuckold? I have advised Glinden that he should release his wife from their vows if she would rather be elsewhere. It is the best thing for both of them. |
| 55575 Cleric stronghold: Not the best result for Helm I was chastised by my fellows in the church for my advice to Glinden. The teachings of Helm would have been better served by stressing duty above all, regardless of the result. |
| 55576 Cleric stronghold: Just as Helm would wish it I have pleased the church despite the melancholy feelings of Glinden and his wife. Helm dictates that duty is the most important factor of any situation, and though they do not know it, the couple has been blessed by their actions. |
| 55577 Cleric stronghold: Lathander was well served Stressing self-sacrifice for the love of another was in the true spirit of the teachings of Lathander, and Glinden and his wife have benefited. I have served the church well. |
| 55578 Cleric stronghold: Lathander was not served I have not done well in the eyes of Lathander. I should have stressed that Glinden adopt a more self-sacrificing love for his wife. Instead, they are unhappy and church doctrine is unsatisfied. |
| 55579 Cleric stronghold: My church has rejected me My actions were so contrary to church teachings that I have been cast out. I no longer have the sanctuary I was granted. |
| 55580 The prophecy of Sekolah Taken down into a city far below the ocean surface by the sahuagin, I was greeted by a high priestess of the shark god Sekolah and told that I was intended for some higher purpose that Sekolah had foretold. Not one to be used, I refused their "hospitality"... I would rather fight my way back to the surface, if need be. |
| 55581 Cleric stronghold: Not the best result for Talos My advice to Glinden was not what Talos would have liked to see. Talos is the destroyer, and I should stress this in the future. |
| 55582 Cleric stronghold: A profitable day Inspector Ardis suggested that we might have a beneficial relationship if I supplied him with the names of people that commit crimes. I started with Glinden, whom I had provoked into killing his own wife. Ardis said he could be found in the Government District if I had anything else to tell him. |
| 55583 Cleric stronghold: Talos is pleased My actions have pleased the church, being well in line with the dark teachings they espouse. Talos the Destroyer can well appreciate the misery I have caused. |
| 55584 Cleric stronghold: A troubled killer Ti'Vael came to me seeking wisdom. He had killed a man in what looked like a duel, but he claims he actually murdered the man because of the insults he hurled. I told him to turn himself in. |
| 55585 Cleric stronghold: A troubled killer Ti'Vael came to me seeking wisdom. He had killed a man in what looked like a duel, but he claims he actually murdered the man because of the insults he hurled. I told him to make restitution to the family of the man as best he could. |
| 55586 Cleric stronghold: A troubled killer Ti'Vael came to me seeking wisdom. He had killed a man in what looked like a duel, but he claims he actually murdered the man because of the insults he hurled. I told him to let it pass. It was a simple duel. Make nothing of it. |
| 55587 Cleric stronghold: A troubled killer Ti'Vael came to me seeking wisdom. He had killed a man in what looked like a duel, but he claims he actually murdered the man because of the insults he hurled. I told him to kill all the witnesses. Better safe than sorry. |
| 55588 Cleric stronghold: A repeat killer returns Ti'Vael came to me after killing all witnesses to his crime, as I directed. He seemed upset when I told him he would find no sanctuary here. A pity. I wonder if anyone would be interested in hearing of his crimes? |
| 55589 Cleric stronghold: The spoils of wisdom Talos is well pleased with how I handled Ti'Vael and his little murder problem. Right in line with the scripture. |
| 55590 Cleric stronghold: Not the best, but it will do Talos would have preferred more direct destruction from my advice, even if the results are far from pleasant as they are. |
| 55591 Cleric stronghold: Lathander is pleased The advice I have given is well in line with the teachings of the Morninglord. Ti'Vael is a fine success of faith. |
| 55592 Cleric stronghold: Not the best for Lathander Ti'Vael was perhaps not served as well as he could have. I should seek the more compassionate paths in my advice if I am to truly espouse the wisdom of the Morninglord. |
| 55593 Cleric stronghold: Helm is well pleased While prison may not be the happiest of places, Ti'Vael's spirit will flourish in the end. He had a duty to a greater law, and I advised him properly. |
| 55594 Cleric stronghold: Helm is mostly satisfied Events with Ti'Vael could have been handled better. Remember the greater duty, and do not surrender to sentiment. |
| 55595 Cleric stronghold: A faithless heretic Rania came to me to confess a lack of faith. I killed her for it. |
| 55596 Cleric stronghold: A crisis of faith Rania came to me to confess a lack of faith. I stressed the duty that she should have to the church. She seemed unresponsive. |
| 55597 Cleric stronghold: A crisis of faith Rania came to me to confess a lack of faith. I told her that she should take time to contemplate her belief. She seemed relieved. |
| 55598 Cleric stronghold: A crisis of faith Rania came to me to confess a lack of faith. I expelled her from the church. There is no place here for unbelievers. |
| 55599 Cleric stronghold: Lathander prefers empathy The Morninglord is appreciative of the importance of duty, but a more compassionate front would have served poor Rania better. |
| 55600 Cleric stronghold: Lathander is pleased The compassionate way that I advised Rania has garnered me some respect among my peers. The Morninglord is well pleased. |
| 55601 Cleric stronghold: Lathander is disappointed I was far too harsh on poor Rania. The Morninglord would have me act more compassionately to those in distress. |
| 55602 Cleric stronghold: Helm is pleased Rania is a regrettable loss, but if her faith could not stand up to the pressures of duty, her loss was necessary. |
| 55603 Cleric stronghold: Helm is not pleased I was too lenient on Rania and her weakened faith. Duty should have been better stressed. If she could not stand up to such, she is not worthy of Helm. |
| 55604 Cleric stronghold: Helm is not pleased Banishment was too harsh a punishment for Rania and her weakened faith. Duty should have been better stressed, but she should not have been abandoned so quickly. |
| 55605 Cleric stronghold: Talos was well served My actions with Rania have been praised. Her death was deserved, though some may ask questions in time. I shall have to be careful and look for a scapegoat. |
| 55606 Cleric stronghold: Talos was well served My actions with Rania have been praised, though death would have been a better reward for her questioning. |
| 55607 Cleric stronghold: A challenge Cotirso has challenged me with language most insulting. I have accepted. Let battle decide who is favored by the church! |
| 55608 Cleric stronghold: A challenge Cotirso has challenged me with language most insulting. I have let him have whatever position it was that he thought I had. It is not worth fighting over. |
| 55609 Cleric stronghold: A challenge Cotirso has challenged me with language most insulting. I have given him whatever title it was that he wanted... for now. It would be a shame if something were to happen to his reputation. |
| 55610 Cleric stronghold: A challenge Cotirso's fate was his own, and the church has accepted that he took his life into his hands when he challenged me. |
| 55611 Cleric stronghold: Cotirso is quieted Lathander viewed my lack of offense against Cotirso as a good example of restraint. I am restored, and Cotirso has been sent to think about what transpired. |
| 55612 Cleric stronghold: Cotirso is pacified Lathander viewed my lack of offense against Cotirso as a good example of restraint, though I should not have goaded him by threatening to take the matter up with our superiors. A calm front would have accomplished more. |
| 55613 Cleric stronghold: Cotirso is pacified Helm would rather have had me accept Cotirso's challenge, although everything has worked out regardless. |
| 55614 Cleric stronghold: Cotirso is removed Helm is satisfied that Cotirso took his life into his hands when he challenged me. I had no choice but to accept and respond as I must. |
| 55615 Cleric stronghold: Cotirso is dead It would seem that the personal grievance brought forth by Cotirso was best remedied by killing him. Talos be praised. |
| 55616 Cleric stronghold: Cotirso is finished Talos was especially appreciative of the way I framed Cotirso, removing an enemy while cashing in on the reward for Rania's murder, which I myself committed. Talos be praised indeed. |
| 55617 Cleric stronghold: Halting the Talon war I must place myself between the forces of the Lathanderian temple and the Talos worshippers. I must protect the Lathanderian temple as allies of Helm, but I must also prevent them from wiping out the Talons as well. The entire action is illegal, and both parties must be made to stop. I must go to the Lathanderian temple first. |
| 55618 Cleric stronghold: Halting the Talon war I have served the greater law and pacified both the Talons and the followers of the Morninglord. My service to Helm has been recognized as invaluable. For now, I have been released from further service as a boon for all that I have done so far. I await to be called if need be. |
| 55619 Cleric stronghold: A strong offense I have been directed to bring the fury of the Morninglord to bear upon the house of Talos. They were to attack the Dawnbringer's home, and we cannot allow it. I am to enter the den of the enemy and wreak horrible justice. This is my holy crusade. |
| 55620 Cleric stronghold: A terrible toll My vengeance has been brought down upon the house of Talos. They have been wiped out for now, and the house of the Morninglord will see the dawn in peace. I have been given time to... recover from my efforts, though I eagerly await a future call to service. |
| 55621 Cleric stronghold: A terrible toll avoided I have succeeded in appeasing Lathander's faithful such that they will not march on their enemy this night. Further bloodshed has been avoided. |
| 55622 Cleric stronghold: A terrible toll to come I have failed to appease the followers of Lathander. They march against Talos in anger tonight. While they may succeed this day, I can only see escalation on the horizon. |
| 55623 Cleric stronghold: A glorious battle to come! I have been given the blessing of Talos and the sacred duty to deliver his wrath! The Lathanderian temple will be cleansed tonight! My wrath shall be terrible and beautiful! |
| 55624 Cleric stronghold: The carnage has freed me I have cleansed the Lathanderian temple and earned a reprieve from common acolyte duties. Still, I await further calls to service with excitement. Talos be praised! |
| 55625 Mage stronghold: An interesting proposition A representative of the heretofore hostile Cowled Wizards has come before me with an offer. He said that they are prepared to offer me the use of the planar sphere unmolested and unchallenged if I will subject myself to their occasional scrutiny. I must still adhere to their rules of not casting magic in the city of Athkatla, but I would enjoy other perks as well as responsibilities. Interesting, I will look into it. |
| 55626 Mage stronghold: The Solamnic Knights I asked the Cowled Wizard Teos what he would do about the Solamnic Knights brought here in the sphere from their own home plane. He suggested that I kill them. On the useful side, he did mention that Ribald at the Adventurer Mart might have insight into unique situations such as this. Alternately, I could petition the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. They know how to deal with paladins and such. |
| 55627 Mage stronghold: I have apprentices Teos has brought me three young mages that I am to guide through study. Teos was not too thrilled, but I will make good use of the situation, I am sure. |
| 55628 Mage stronghold: Teos unmoved Teos did not seem too concerned that my apprentices have all met unfortunate deaths in my service. Business as usual, I guess, though I will miss the chance to shape some young minds in my image. |
| 55629 Mage stronghold: Ambush! Teos had not summoned me to the sphere. It was an ambush to get us both. We were attacked by a strange assailant. He screamed about the "glory of Argrim." |
| 55630 Mage stronghold: Fanatic assassination Teos has given me a new task. I am to dispatch one Lord Ketlaar Argrim. He is an anti-magic fanatic and wants us all confined or killed. I am to use a special rune of imprisonment on him so that he will not be a martyr. He will simply disappear. Ketlaar can be found at the Crooked Crane, near the city gates. |
| 55631 Mage stronghold: No more I have refused to be the lackey of Teos and the Cowled Wizards. I turned down their request to battle Lord Ketlaar Argrim. As a result, I have been restricted from entering the planar sphere again. It is no longer open to me. A pity. |
| 55632 Mage stronghold: Free at last I have been released from service to the Cowled Wizards. I did as they asked to the best of my ability, facing off against Lord Ketlaar and whatnot, so now I have unfettered use of the planar sphere. A painfully obvious base of operations, but it will have to do. |
| 55633 Mage stronghold: Apprentice crap Apparently, those apprentices that were dumped on me were supposed to take instruction and make what I directed. I have no time to care, so I just cut them loose. Let's see what they can do on their own. Might be a bit dangerous, but they have to learn sometime, right? |
| 55634 Mage stronghold: Young minds to mold The apprentices have given me a unique opportunity. I am to give them instruction, guiding their learning, and they will attempt to make me magical items. Each week, they will display their results as they work on their talents. Already it sounds as though the range of items is quite broad. I look forward to seeing what they can do. |
| 55635 Mage stronghold: A messenger from Teos? A messenger approached me to say that I should return to the planar sphere at once. Teos apparently awaits there with urgent news. |
| 55636 Mage stronghold: Graduation was great It was a great opportunity to see my apprentices graduating from their studies. They seemed genuinely appreciative, and I thank them for their kind words. I hope they fare well despite the Cowled Wizards' lording over them. I look forward to seeing what they can do... |
| 55637 Mage stronghold: Graduation was somber I tried to keep a smile during the ceremony. It is good to see the young making their own way in the world. It's just a pity that they couldn't all have lived to see this day. Not that life under the yoke of the Cowled Wizards would have been all that great, but it would have been interesting. Oh well. I guess you can only wish well who you can and say a word in memorandum for the rest. |
| 55638 Mage stronghold: Attacking the fanatic I have encountered Lord Ketlaar. There really is no talking to him. He is blind to everything save hatred of magic. |
| 55639 Mage stronghold: The Knights are free Khollynnus Paac arrived as was foretold, and the Solamnic knights have been sent home. It is good to see them get what they wished. |
| 55640 Mage stronghold: Ribald can free the Knights Ribald in the Adventurer Mart has the means to send the knights home, but he requires 9,000 gold. |
| 55641 Mage stronghold: I have paid for the Knights Ribald has taken 9,000 gold and has promised to send a mage to the sphere and teleport the knights home. At these prices, she better show up! |
| 55642 Mage stronghold: The Knights at the Order I have spoken with the prelate of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. He has said that the Solamnic Knights can stay with them as honored guests. It's a viable alternative if they can't get home another way. |
| 55643 Mage stronghold: A request for help The Solamnic Knights that were trapped in the sphere and brought to this plane have asked that I try to find a way for them to get home. I will look into it. |
| 55644 Mage stronghold: A home of sorts I have apprised the Solamnic Knights of the offer that was made by the prelate of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. They have decided to accept and have left for the Order. It is a bittersweet ending, as they would have much rather gone back to their true home. |
| 55645 This is a standard key. Keys are used to open doors. |
| 55646 Drizzt, I'm so glad you could come. |
| 55647 This is a barricade of living trees raised by elven wizards to keep the drow at bay. |
| 55648 The officers of the elven force are housed within these graceful structures. Visitors are not welcome within. |
| 55649 Thy audacity is impressive, <CHARNAME>. It does thee little good, for my mistress has ordained a baptism of blood and pain for thee. |
| 55650 I understand plenty already! This place reeks of corruption and deceit! |
| 55651 Cannot equip a ranged weapon in your off hand. |
| 55652 There is no need for explaining when you are dealing with a place like this. Dank in spirit, with nary a smile to be found around. Aunt Tilly's turnip cellar offers more in the way of social interactions. |
| 55653 I have seen the like of this place before all too closely. It is where they house those that are different, where the misunderstood are forgotten... |
| 55654 It would seem more a place to house those that prove too powerful for their own good. Useful... from a certain perspective. |
| 55655 The troubles of this child are hardly worthy of such treatment. Lessons of balance and control would serve. |
| 55656 A wondrously chaotic gift, one that should be left to flourish. |
| 55657 A dangerous "gift," but is it despicable in nature or simply unfortunate circumstance? She is just a child. |
| 55659 This passage has been deliberately collapsed. It appears as if someone doesn't want you to come down here. |
| 55660 I had me a partner once that had an unfortunate reaction to a particular sword. That don't make it an accident. |
| 55661 A bad reaction indeed if he resists all attempts to cure the damage. Unless damage was the intent? |
| 55662 He should have been more careful. I'm sure his condition could have been avoided had he cooperated with the new asylum staff. |
| 55663 Delightful company? This ship is filthy, falling apart, and your crew has been nothing less than boorish. Ick... I've never felt so in need of a good bath! |
| 55664 Is this male helpless now? What worth is he to the greater society if he is kept like this? Dispose of him. |
| 55665 Yes, that was quite the voyage, wasn't it? All the swaying to and fro, and then there was that storm two days ago and the close brush with the dragon turtle there. The food reminded me of the time Ma Jansen went on her trip to Smurtlepuss and Uncle Scratchy did all the cooking too. Ahhhh, smell the air! Feel the invigoration! |
| 55666 Pretties, you say? Do you mean... gems? Have you any faculties left? Can you remember? |
| 55667 We had to make the best of it. I myself managed to win a fair amount of coin from your crew... they seemed to think they were the only ones who knew how to play cards, oddly. |
| 55668 This young minstrel has lost his wits and his songs? Minds are common enough, but tunes of merit are few and far between. |
| 55669 Bah! Well, I have no intention of being pleasant! I've heaved up enough of me guts on this trip to leave me emptier than a halfling's head! Never will ye get me aboard a ship again! |
| 55670 Hmph. I would respond to yer comment with me axe if the mere thought of movin' didn't make me stomach roil. Begone, and count yerself lucky this time! |
| 55671 Rest, child. None of this group shall harm you. |
| 55672 Oh? Is that what those retching noises were? I thought that perhaps there was a wounded seal somewhere onboard giving birth. |
| 55673 Yes, my dear, unfortunately they are. I must not make light of this, but likely she has seen my kind quite often. |
| 55674 It kept you pale and quiet during the voyage, Korgan. It did my heart good to see such balance evident, even in you. |
| 55675 Yes, she no doubt suffers from overstimulation. She cannot see balance if constantly crushed by unfamiliar images. She sees too much. |
| 55676 I, for one, found it quite pleasing to see you pale and leaning over the side like a forlorn sailor. I would have pushed you overboard if I didn't think <CHARNAME> would object. |
| 55677 Okay, I'm not quite so concerned about this little freak. Rule as you will, little tyrant, just as long as it is from a cell. |
| 55678 Ah yes, Tiax. All the subtleties of a fireball in a teapot. Pity he's here. Let's move on, shall we? |
| 55679 Just when I'm sick of shades of gray, along comes the purest of black and white. This one is quite clearly insane. |
| 55680 Yes! Such fire and conviction! A pity there are no actual enemies to warrant the screaming, but good show anyway. Boo applauds! |
| 55681 An encounter with some unnatural force, to be sure. Extended time with a lack of balance will do that to a mind. He needs harmony. |
| 55682 She's going now, is she? Good. The less we see of her, the better. Ever since we involved ourselves with Bodhi, I've had nothing but chills. |
| 55683 I see some of my mage-hatred in his eyes. I hope I never descend to such focused rage. |
| 55684 It is okay to come out now, Boo. The pale woman is gone. You can stop shivering too. You are a warrior hamster, so be brave! Brave! |
| 55685 Well, I do not. It was almost beyond endurance to spend so much time aboard ship near that one... I could not sleep a wink for fear of our lives. |
| 55686 I suppose we could expect no less from a simple pirate. Begone with you then, scoundrel. No doubt you would only bring us more trouble here than we need. |
| 55687 What could the black seabird have done, I wonder, to earn such a poor name in a place such as this? We may find ourselves with a stigma attached even without his company, my raven. |
| 55688 Bah! Fine! Leave us! As if we care what your reputation might be! I've half a mind to turn you into a slug and show you what I do with lackeys who fail me! |
| 55689 All good peoples hang their head in shame! We are betrayed! The sailor man brings the vampires back amongst us... there shall be a mighty reckoning for this! |
| 55690 Foul traitor! How dare you consort with such evil! And you offer us a lame apology for this?! You shall suffer the consequences, fool! |
| 55691 A mere apology for such an atrocity will do you no good, pirate! You associate with the most evil of undead, and you shall perish along with them! |
| 55692 You DARE?! You consort with the very vampires that we have opposed, laying a trap for us?! You will pay for this, pirate! |
| 55693 These are the same creatures we fought when we entered the lair of the vampire that was aligned against your own guild. Bodhi must be nearby indeed. |
| 55694 I do not think Boo is too thrilled about you borrowing his face. He only has the one. You don't hurt those you mirror, do you? |
| 55695 There can be only one who is responsible for this, thief. The one we fought earlier and prevented from destroying your precious guild. |
| 55696 I can think of only one creature that would dare put the pirate up to this. It is the vampire we fought against... Bodhi. Obviously, she seeks some manner of revenge on us. |
| 55697 This man is killed in plain sight before us, and all you do, man, is gripe at the inconvenience?! Tell us what you know of this man's death, innkeeper, and be quick about it! |
| 55698 Do you spend all your time in the guise of others, child? Do you not take solace in the balance of your true self? |
| 55699 We almost had the information we needed! The assassin could have waited ten seconds, and we couldn't have cared less! Innkeep! What do you know of this man's death? |
| 55700 A man is dead, innkeeper, and you would do well to show more than mere inconvenience. Tell us what you know of this man's death... who is responsible for it? |
| 55701 Your enslavement of these men and women is over, foul wench! No longer will you profit over their sweat... it ends today! |
| 55702 Your guards have gone the way you soon will, foolish woman. Your days of profiteering are at an end... it is time to pay for your crimes! |
| 55703 Dead, as ye soon will be too, wench, if ye does not hand over yon girlie. Make pleasant like a good lass and mayhap <CHARNAME> won't kill ye... though I would not count on it. |
| 55704 Your men are indisposed, good woman. Hand over the girl without a fuss, and you just might avoid any unpleasantries... although that is, of course, up to <CHARNAME>. |
| 55705 Exit to the Surface |
| 55706 To the Underdark |
| 55707 We need no reward, good sir. <CHARNAME>, however, needs to know a way into the asylum... Sanik was to tell us before he was killed. |
| 55708 Claire deserves a better life, as did all of Galvena's courtesans, but we originally got involved to find a way into the asylum... Sanik was killed before he could say. |
| 55709 A reward would do nicely for rescuing yon lass. She may not have her sweetheart, but she has her freedom, and I be thinkin' that be worth something, aye? |
| 55710 We are not in the habit of performing public services. The fact that we rescued the girl deserves compensation, don't you agree? |
| 55711 I've met more pleasant children in bogs with banshee wails. Stand me back from her; she's a creeper if'n I ever saw one. |
| 55713 Poor man. It must be hard to be reduced to madness after spending a life treating it in others. I assume this place was for treatment and not just confinement? |
| 55714 CHAPTER FOUR Bodhi was as good as her word, and you are quickly under sail, the flamboyant Saemon Havarian at the helm. The journey is uneventful, and if there were other ships on the same course, they must have kept a discreet distance. You make good time, and soon there is a sizable island on the horizon. It might have been considered a pleasant place, but a grim shadow extends the length of it. The asylum, Spellhold, looms from a cliffside. |
| 55715 Surrounded himself with weakness and he finally succumbed to it. Trust in a male to make such a mistake. |
| 55716 And here we go 'round the mulberry bush. Yes, yes, keep your pitiful ramblings to yourself. |
| 55717 Aye, sit on the sidelines and hope for the best, eh? And treachery would likewise follow if our chances fell, no doubt. |
| 55718 Aye, win we did. And had we fallen, you no doubt would have remained on the wizard's side, harmed not in the slightest for all that we would be dead. Hmph. |
| 55720 He's speakin' o' gems and such, I just know it. A pity ye can't pry into the head o' the madman. |
| 55721 You... you leave him alone. No telling what the poor man has been through. |
| 55722 I'll be prying into yer head with an axe if you backtalk me agin. I wasn't going to hurt him. Yet. |
| 55723 Would that I had a healing touch that could help this man. I think his madness is of his own making though. |
| 55724 You cannot always help so directly, young Mazzy, despite your heart's best intentions. Not all diseases are of the flesh. |
| 55725 I do believe that he probably looked too far into the business of the gods. It was not his place to do so. |
| 55726 War? War amongst the elves? What could that mean? How could even Irenicus start such a thing? That would bring nothing but ruin! |
| 55727 I can see things... things beyond the veil. It's all the same to my eyes. |
| 55729 Such a plan could only serve to disrupt the greater balance. The ruin of the elves would bring the ruin of all, in the end. Perhaps that is Irenicus's plan. |
| 55730 I see... a city of changing streets under the Lady of Pain. My eyes... pluck out my eyes. |
| 55731 I see kingdoms in the mind that seem so real. Are they real to those living there? I don't know. |
| 55732 I see... through the layers of reality... there is the strangest of fillings between. |
| 55733 Do you wish to see?! I can show you for a moment! Touch nothing! Make not a sound! See what lies between! |
| 55734 I see... a walking corpse... he speaks... to a pillar of skulls? See, it is madness! |
| 55735 I see... a place... coming soon... where there is... never winter... where people have control... over their own stories. Yes, it's a shameless plug from Aphril Foreshadow. |
| 55737 Entreri! Have we not resolved this, man? Let it go! |
| 55738 Until you die with my dagger in your heart, I shall not truly live! |
| 55739 Then come, but know that it is the poison within your mind that has ever been your true enemy. |
| 55740 As much as I should not trust his advice, he may have a point, <CHARNAME>. There are powerful mages above who may be the difference between life and death. |
| 55742 Third Journal of Jon Irenicus |
| 55743 Bah! Do not listen to the words of a pirate, <CHARNAME>! He seeks to have us destroyed at the hands of those madmen! I say we assault the wizard now, while he is vulnerable! |
| 55744 First Journal of Jon Irenicus |
| 55745 We have no need of support from mad wizards! We have enough magic... let us attack Irenicus now! |
| 55746 Second Journal of Jon Irenicus |
| 55747 I am loath to listen too closely to the words of the human, but his advice may be wise. Let us at least see if these mad wizards can be released... and harnessed. |
| 55748 You're just not all there, are you? |
| 55749 All bluster and balderdash, ain't ya? Uncle Chester Bellowsbreath was like that too, talking himself so big that you'd swear he was ten feet tall, which was not too far off considering he had a strange disorder stemming from an obscenity hurled at a passing wizard one drunken eve in Waterdeep. Stomp and pomp all ye wish, but it would do you well to take the simple advice of never telling Khelben Blackstaff to "put a shine on that thing and stop being so darned pompous with yer dark-cornered mysteriosity," and if you do, don't punctuate it with a rotten turnip at high velocity. |
| 55750 You don't say? You know, this reminds me of Golodon's kobold. Nasty thing named Justarius, as I recall... wielded a mean toothpick of detonation. Waved it about from behind Golodon's robes, biting and snarling and convinced high and low that he was the toughest kobold this side of the Inner Sea. Then that one time when Golodon met up with a blue dragon... I don't think it was hunting him, really, it was just in the area looking up old friends... the wizard turned and ran, leaving poor Justarius there, shaking like a little leaf. He wasn't so confident standing there next to the big blue beast, if you take my meaning. |
| 55751 Of course, I'm not really helping matters going on like this. You were saying something or other about your greatness? |
| 55752 Ah... |
| 55753 Tiax has lost his place! The indignity! |
| 55754 Well, let's just say the blue dragon used his toothpick to, ah... clean his teeth. Kobolds can be so messy, I understand. Personally I'd prefer a good turnip stew anytime. You were, uh, saying something about good old Irenicus's plans there, Sammy? |
| 55755 Not only is he out of balance, he is, in fact, totally bent. Nature would drop you in a hole, given half a chance. |
| 55756 I don't see why we should suddenly trust you. That certainly wasn't any risk... why are you so scared of Irenicus's plans now? He's said nothing of them. |
| 55757 Your conversion is awfully convenient, pirate. What do you know of Irenicus's plans? He was quite tight-lipped about them, as far as I can see. |
| 55758 Okay, that does it. I'm all for just leaving both gnomes here when we go. Who's with me on that? |
| 55759 I second that. And someone kick the freaky gnome. |
| 55760 I'll be wearing a couple of short nitwits' ears for shoes if'n they don't shut the bloody hell up real quick. Just thought I'd share. |
| 55761 Hmph. That's putting it mildly. (Godhood should be solely reserved for those with the proper destiny and mental endurance. Me, for instance!) |
| 55762 Suldanessellar... it... it sounds familiar. It is the high elven city, but I don't know what Irenicus would want with it. But... he obviously can't be allowed to succeed. |
| 55763 Ughh, my head spins. So many quick words from so many small sources. Countersong, Boo. Relax my frazzled nerves. |
| 55764 Well, that's putting it a bit mildly. Why don't we just offer him all of Faerûn between two pieces of bread and call it even? |
| 55765 Irenicus being some kind of god "can't be good"? You aren't understating that a bit, are you, Sammy? Gosh... when I become a god, I want you on my side. You'll keep me grounded and brushing my teeth. |
| 55766 No! I ain't getting on any blasted ship! I had more than me fill on the ride here! If we goes anywhere, it's into the Underdark... we'll carve a path of blood through its guts! |
| 55767 What does everyone stare at? Boo's churring calms me down. See? |
| 55769 The... the Underdark? No... no! I cannot go there! You do not understandâ€â€it is death for my kind! No avariel has ever traveled the depths! |
| 55770 Please, <CHARNAME>, let us take the ship! But... but Irenicus must be stopped too. If... if you think it best to go into the Underdark... Baervan protect me, I will go too... |
| 55771 I have no eagerness to return to my home realm, <CHARNAME>. I am unwelcome there. I say let us take the ship the pirate offers rather than brave its depths so lightly. |
| 55772 I don't care which route we take. I want my... my soul back. And I want Irenicus to suffer for what he's done! |
| 55773 I know of this man, but from where? I cannot recall. |
| 55774 I shouldn't wish to alarm anyone, but I just wanted to point out that Jan has failed to produce a story. Can the apocalypse be far? |
| 55775 Hrmph! |
| 55776 Yes! Revenge! Revenge for precious Dynaheir! Tremble, wizard, for the mighty Boo will have your eyes! RAAAARRRRGHH! |
| 55777 Bah! Your pathetic mewlings mean even less to me than <CHARNAME>'s! |
| 55778 Good. End the world or shut him up. Whichever is quicker. |
| 55779 What revenge do *you* have, wizard? You killed my Khalid with no more thought than one would give to a fly! I shall have *my* revenge! Nature's fury shall strike you down! |
| 55780 I'm beginning to hope so. |
| 55781 Ruby Pendant of Beguiling |
| 55782 The imp has failed to string out his usual long-winded story. Praised be, the end must be comin'. |
| 55783 You... you used me! You tore apart my soul, and then you ripped it from me! I'll kill you for that, Irenicus! I'll kill you! |
| 55784 That's a much shorter interjection than Boo has become used to, Jan. Are you ill? |
| 55785 His ramblings have no meaning. He is raging at enemies long since gone. |
| 55786 I am unfamiliar with the name he spouts. Certainly he was tormented long to provoke such madness. |
| 55787 One has lots of time for reflection while waiting for the ENDLESS WAVES OF BAD DOGGIE WEREWOLF MONSTERS THAT CHEW YOUR TOES WHILE YOU SLEEP! |
| 55788 You think us fools?! You knew your ship was scuttled when you first spoke to us, didn't you?! You seek to use us somehow! |
| 55789 Such lies that we are subjected to! You *knew* your ship was destroyed even as you offered us passage, pirate! Admit it! |
| 55790 I know a serpent's tongue when I hear it. Even as you offered us passage away from this island, you knew your ship's fate. Why? What do you need from us, male? |
| 55791 You... you knew that you didn't have a ship! Even when you made the offer to us! Why would you do such a thing? What could you hope to gain?! |
| 55792 You cannot cloak your intentions, rogue. You knew you had no ship with which to offer passage, even when you spoke to us in the asylum. Why lie? |
| 55793 Ruby Pendant of Beguiling |
| 55794 We'd best have a care, my raven. Yon pirate needs us to secure his ship for now, but what assurances have we once we are on the open sea? We've no patron's threat this time to keep us safe. |
| 55795 Why you continue to deal with this cur, <CHARNAME>, I have no idea. I imagine, however, that he will no longer need us once he has his new ship. Watch him carefully. |
| 55796 Oh sure, we're his best friends now that we're going to go and steal him a brand new ship and everything. And once we gotten it for him, you think he'll still be so nice? Reminds me of my cousin Bureaugarde. The most selfish gnome you've ever seen, he wouldn't give you a spare turnip for anything. Well, okay, there was that one time he gave a turnip to Uncle Scratchy, but Uncle Scratchy had him held over a vat of boiling |
| 55797 Personally, I spend the time reconstituting culinary delights from my childhood. Would you like a recipe? |
| 55798 Something from mother. |
| 55799 Something from my mother's mother. |
| 55800 Aha! Something from my mother's mother's father! A real whiz around pots and pans. Wait, I said that wrong. |
| 55802 Well, fine. I just wanted to point out that Bureaugarde was eaten by a griffon that was terrorizing the hillside, and he gave the beast fatal indigestion. So sometimes, even the most selfish of us can still give. |
| 55803 All right, Jan, I think that's enough. I get the point. |
| 55804 Enough, gnome! Yer stories are beginning to curdle me belly! Another word out of ye and I'll rip ye apart, I swear! |
| 55805 The pride of the book, a recipe like no other. Guard it well. Huzzah! |
| 55806 Enough, you little buffoon. There is no need to club us over the head with your point; we get it well enough. |
| 55807 Bah! Enough, gnome! The island will sink beneath us before you are finished your blather! Enough, I say! |
| 55808 What now? Move alongâ€â€I've rather strained my voice. |
| 55809 She sees the universe unrestricted. It is amazing that she manages to be as lucid as she is. |
| 55810 It is a weakness on her part. A superior mind could handle such a gift. |
| 55811 Ha! A pity we do not have one here! |
| 55812 Some sights are reserved for the gods alone. It is too complex to fathom... |
| 55813 And what would you have to do with that, Edwin? Perhaps if ego were all that was required. |
| 55814 (Sigh. It's aggravation like this that will eventually cause me to fireball the entire party as they sleep. Yes indeed, everyone peaceful and quiet and then FOOM!) |
| 55815 What... shark-men? I've heard of these creatures... sahuagin, I think they are called. Evil monsters that raid the coasts. But I can't understand what they're saying... |
| 55816 I know of these creatures from the Underdark. Sahuagin. Shark-men. My home city did not have much contact with them, however, so I do not know their language. |
| 55817 I know these creatures. They are called sahuagin... or sea devils. They are known to raid the coasts. I wish I knew their language... |
| 55818 Then you can certainly start by telling us how we came to be here, strange ones. And I will warn you now that this sparrow has no intention of being collared again, by you or anyone. |
| 55819 No! No collar! I will not be collared by the smelly fishmen! My warrior spirit will not bear such a thing! |
| 55820 Then you can start by addressing us now, tadpole-thing. How did we get here? (If it can speak at all. Such creatures are known more for the taste of their legs...) |
| 55821 I should have known. Once again your peculiar destiny has drawn us into something, <CHARNAME>. Even the shark gods flounder in anticipation of your arrival. |
| 55822 Wow. Does this happen to you often, <CHARNAME>? I get the feeling that you could fall off a mountain, tumble down a hill and through a hole into a pit and then land smack in a nest of fire giants and they would suddenly hail you as the Second Coming of Surtr. I should take you sometime to the wilds of Chult... it could be quite profitable, you never know. |
| 55823 Everywhere we go, it seems, this happens to ye, <CHARNAME>. Well, that's just fine. But if we be herded near one pot or kitchen, I'll start flingin' me axe, just so ye be warned. |
| 55824 Sekolah. I read of this "god" once. The Shark-Father, ruthless and devoid of compassion. So is all of his race. You are a tool, perhaps, and after that... a meal. |
| 55825 Boo too has small teeth compared to fish-men. But they hurt just the same when they latch onto the eyes, yes sir! |
| 55826 Well, that's not very nice. You don't see us going on and on about the rather funky smell in this place, do you? Or the way your eyes seem to be bugged out, like someone just kicked you in the stomach? NooOOoo, I would never be so rude. |
| 55827 Ugh. I never cared much for fish before now, but this smell... ugh, it's like something died... |
| 55828 Hmph. Such evil creatures to dare make such pronouncements. I would send them all to a watery grave with Tyr's blessing if I had my way. |
| 55829 Hmph. Do we have to listen to this? Do they think we don't understand that they're talking about eating us? Barbarians! |
| 55830 One more word from these evil creatures of callously killing us or feasting upon our flesh and I will call the wrath of Helm upon them, I swear! |
| 55831 Nahal's Reckless Dweomer |
| 55832 Do you wish to rest? |
| 55833 Yes |
| 55834 No |
| 55835 If there is no other choice, I suppose I will have to. |
| 55837 I thought that the king and some of the others here looked unnaturally weak for sahuagin. They are having their strength slowly bred out of them, eh? How odd. |
| 55838 So they've been exiling all the strong sahuagin outside of the city. Eventually, everyone left inside will be weak. I don't see what we have to do with it, though. |
| 55839 What do we care about the fate of these creatures? They are all evil. I say let them perish from their own foolishness if that is what fate decrees. |
| 55840 I have never known you to be so judgmental, paladin. Surely you do not label all sahuagin so? Condemn them all to death and you are no better than they. |
| 55841 Your words do not sway me, woman. I am not misjudging these creatures. I know. And it is no less a fate than they would plan for us, were circumstances different. |
| 55842 Negative Plane Protection |
| 55843 Negative Plane Protection (Abjuration) Sphere: Protection, Necromantic Range: Touch Duration: 5 rounds Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell affords the caster or the touched creature partial protection from undead monsters with Negative Energy Plane connections (such as vampires), and certain weapons and spells that drain energy levels. The Negative Plane Protection spell opens a channel to the Positive Energy Plane, possibly offsetting the effects of the negative energy attack. A protected creature struck by a negative energy attack is protected against any form of level draining for the duration of the spell. The protected creature suffers only normal Hit Point damage from the attack and does not suffer any drain of experience. This spell cannot be cast on the Negative Energy Plane. |
| 55844 Lesser Restoration |
| 55845 Lesser Restoration (Necromancy) Level: 4 Sphere: Necromantic Range: Touch Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None When this spell is cast, the life energy level of the recipient is raised. This reverses any previous life energy level drain of the creature by a force or monster. The casting of this spell is very draining on the priest and <PRO_HESHE> will likely require rest immediately after the casting, as it will cause days' worth of fatigue almost instantaneously. |
| 55846 You may have only one simulacrum at a time. You must wait until the duration of the first spell is over. |
| 55847 Keldorn! I've... never heard you so cold! The sahuagin cannot be so bad... If you just sentence them all to death, that would make you no better than you claim them to be! |
| 55848 I have little liking for these savages myself, paladin. But I do not feel the hate you seem to for them... Surely you do not feel they are all evil without exception? |
| 55849 I've heard this tune before. It's right up there on the oldies-but-goodies list along with "Fail and I Kill You." Or maybe, in this case, it's that variant sung by the infamous ogre bard Chumba-khan, "Fail and I Eat You." Of course, we could always just leave... |
| 55850 I... I don't know how much we want to trust this creature, <CHARNAME>. I suspect he'd have us as an appetizer just because we'd look good with the main course. |
| 55851 We'd best be careful, <CHARNAME>. I don't know how much I trust this king to remember we're supposed to be rewarded and not eaten, you know? |
| 55852 <CHARNAME>? Why... why would you do this? That priestess didn't do anything to us, and this... this king is only going to butcher her! |
| 55853 An interesting tactic, although I doubt this king will reward you for your so-called loyalty. It is amusing to watch the sahuagin fight amongst themselves, however. |
| 55854 This gets us nowhere! Why are you bothering to do this? If we wish to plague these creatures, let us just leave them to devolve back into eels and be done with it. |
| 55855 Hmph. Ah, that is our goal, you know: to allow the tadpoles to resume their dominant role in the world. (Idiot! Sekolah should have gifted them with a brain!) |
| 55856 Truly? I found the story of entropy working its slow decay upon an entire people to have much more poetry. With any luck, these creatures will stumble into a downward spiral again soon. |
| 55857 Is that what we've done? They... they sound like they're going to take over the world. But there's so *few* of them now. I suppose anyone can dream after all. |
| 55858 Bah. Yer king has offered us a gilded ransom and then some. We care not fer yer cause, boyo. If we takes it up for ye, will ye offer us better than yer king? |
| 55859 Must it come to slaughter, sahuagin? Your priestesses speak of your entire people needing your blood... Have you attempted to resolve this with the king peacefully? |
| 55860 And should we do this for you, fish-man... what are your assurances to us? Will you turn on us, hold us as prisoners once we are done? Or will we be free to go? |
| 55861 My skin may not have scales, but it has seen many suns come and go. Boo thinks you could use some sun too. Then you might not smell so much like wet laundry. |
| 55862 This door is completely covered in magical wards. Someone very powerful must want to keep this passage from being entered. There is no physical or magical way to open it at present. |
| 55863 This container is magically warded. You notice that a ward symbol glows when Mekrath is near. You suspect that you will not be able to open it while Mekrath is present. |
| 55864 This... this is the Underdark. Oh, I do not want to be here, I don't! This place is death for my people! Iâ€â€I feel as if I'm going to suffocate here! |
| 55865 Come on, Aerie, you said you'd be willing to take this route if we came. |
| 55866 If you're going to whine, why don't you just leave? |
| 55867 I need you to be strong, Aerie. This is a harsh place. |
| 55868 I'm here. I'll protect you, Aerie. |
| 55869 I know I said that... but it's so different to actually be here. I... can feel the weight of the ground above, pressing down. I'm meant to fly... and I feel as if I'm drowning! |
| 55870 I've had enough of your whining. Run away if it suits you. |
| 55871 I need you to be strong, Aerie... we're on a mission here. |
| 55872 It's okay, Aerie. We'll find a way through this somehow. |
| 55873 I'm here. I'll protect you, Aerie. |
| 55874 And go where?! I'd be tempted to leave your cruelty, except that I have no idea how I'd find my way through this terrible place! |
| 55875 I... I'll stay with you. I have no other choice. Let's... do what we came to do here and then find a way out. Just don't abandon me here, <CHARNAME>, I beg you. I'd go mad! |
| 55876 Well, Viconia. It would seem you carry less weight than you thought. He questions your worth, rightfully so. |
| 55877 Yes. Yes, you're right. I... I must sound so silly. You've had your soul stolen from you, and I'm crying about being here... in this place. |
| 55878 Let's go, then, and do what we must. I'll... control myself. Just don't abandon me here, <CHARNAME>, I beg you. I'd go mad! |
| 55879 A HA! I shall treasure this moment. The proud drow, humbled by a keen-eyed duergar. |
| 55880 You...? That's sweet. I must sound so silly. You've had your soul stolen from you, and here I am, crying about being here... in this place. |
| 55881 It would appear you have been away from home too long, Viconia. This duergar lays more claim to it than you. |
| 55882 Don't worry, Aerie. I'm here to protect my witch. Boo too, though I think he would leap to protect anyone in distress. It's his heroic nature, you know. |
| 55883 Hmm... I didn't like his tone. I know a few insults in the Under tongue, and that weren't flattery. |
| 55884 Th-thank you, Minsc. I... feel much better now. It's just the thought... of being here. Let's just get moving, and I'll stop thinking about it so much... |
| 55885 Could I be healed instead? |
| 55886 So... I am in my homeland once again. Already I feel how unwelcome it has become. My eyes are no longer used to its darkness and my senses to the hint of the threat around every corner. |
| 55887 We must tread with caution, <CHARNAME>. There are, no doubt, drow in this place. Along with beholders, illithids, kuo-toa, and perhaps even worse. |
| 55888 The denizens here will expect no mercy and will offer none. If we are to survive long enough to find your Irenicus, we must be stronger than any of them. |
| 55889 A most underhanded maneuver, <CHARNAME>. Although I am sure it is no less than Phaere might have planned for us. There is an ironic justice in this, no? |
| 55890 Bold, <CHARNAME>. Phaere was a fool to think you would not curry favor with the matron mother. This will bring us much closer to our goal, I think, with her trust. |
| 55891 I dislike this. There is no honor in acting as a foul drow would. Better to let them kill themselves than to take part in such intrigue. |
| 55892 Boo bristles at his words. I don't know the language, but he is insulting us for certain! |
| 55893 So perhaps this is the mage's plan, <CHARNAME>. To stir up a war between the drow and the elves... but to what end? And what manner of demon do they speak of, I wonder? |
| 55894 Ah, a denizen of the lower planes to unleash upon the elves. The use of the eggs begins to make sense. Why Irenicus would involve himself remains a mystery. |
| 55895 So... a war? Open battle between the drow and the surface has not occurred in... eons. With a greater demon to back them... I truly wonder why Irenicus would do this. |
| 55896 Open war on the surface elves? A bold move, bolstered by a greater demon's summoning. Why would Irenicus involve himself, however? He holds the drow no great love, I am sure. |
| 55897 Ha! I don't know his words all that well, but I do respect those willing to risk insulting strangers. |
| 55898 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 55899 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 55900 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 55901 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 55902 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 55903 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 55904 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 55905 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 55906 ** BAH! I HAVE NO PATIENCE TO PUT UP WITH PETTY MORTAL CONCERNS! DRAW YOUR OWN BLOOD IF YOU WISH, BUT DISTURB ME NO FURTHER! ** |
| 55907 <CHARNAME>! N-no! No, I won't let you sacrifice her eggs! I won't let you do this! |
| 55908 Vile fiend! You would sacrifice the children of a silver dragon and consort with a demon, no less! No, this will not be! |
| 55909 You fool! You would not only anger the dragon, but deal with a creature of the Abyss?! I will not stand for this! |
| 55910 What?! Had I known you were capable of such an act, I would have killed you long ago, <CHARNAME>! I will rectify that mistake now! |
| 55911 You... you *dare* to commit such an atrocity?! I will not stand by you in this! Moreover, I will stop you, fiend! |
| 55912 Wh-what are you doing, <CHARNAME>?! You... you're bringing the wrath of the dragon down upon us? And for what?! No... no, I won't stick around for this, I won't! |
| 55913 You would commit such a sacrilege against nature?! Had I known, I would never have accompanied you! No, I will not let this be! |
| 55914 The deed is done, <CHARNAME>. I shall return to Aran and report of our success. Farewell! |
| 55915 I cannot believe my ears! You would stand against all that is good and right?! You shall suffer a terrible vengeance for this! |
| 55916 So it ends; the evil is slain. You've done well, friend. I bid you fair journey! |
| 55917 You move against balance here, <CHARNAME>, and no doubt the silver dragon will have revenge. I shall not remain to see this through with you. Farewell. |
| 55918 It was a grand battle, friend. I must return to my duties elsewhere. I am proud to have fought this evil with you. |
| 55919 Hold, demon! I have the eggs of the silver dragon here! I offer them to you in return for a service! |
| 55920 Do you see, <CHARNAME>? See the fear in his eyes? You now enjoy the respect the drow have earned. |
| 55921 As much as I despise this form, it does seem to have captivated our friend here. He seems fearful. |
| 55922 Yes! Hello! Minsc is a drow! And Boo is a shadow hamster! |
| 55923 Ah, I beg your pardon? |
| 55924 Careful, Carlig! Never seen a drow loose their mind before. Might be catching. |
| 55925 I could get used to this kind of treatment, even if I'm stuck in this stick of a shell. |
| 55926 Please, do not be so fearful of us. |
| 55927 M... malla drow? Your... accent is most unusual. Hmm... |
| 55928 Do not question the words of a drow, worm! It is not your place to do so! Despite how... sickeningly merciful they may be. |
| 55929 I just meant... |
| 55930 You meant nothing, *malla drow*. Assume the proper posture for one of your position, or we are in danger of losing respect for our guise. |
| 55931 You are weak, and you shall pay the ultimate penalty amongst the drow... an ignoble death. <CHARNAME> has beaten you all. |
| 55932 Die, black-hearted fiend. May all the Hells swallow you whole. |
| 55933 Hah! You'll do nothing but die... and hopefully you'll know that it was <CHARNAME> that beat you, too. |
| 55934 Despite what she says, <CHARNAME>, we may be able to use this situation to our advantage. Perhaps there is no need to kill Solaufein. Consider this, at least. |
| 55935 Before we leap upon our target, my raven, at least consider the possibility that perhaps there are other choices. Perhaps we should play a game of intrigue as well and see what Solaufein has to say, yes? |
| 55936 Should we be so quick to do what she says? Solaufein hasn't done anything to deserve death. Let's just step lightly before we commit to anything, okay? |
| 55937 Damn you, <CHARNAME>, there... there's no reason to kill these gnomes! They've hurt no one! Damn you for making me do this! |
| 55938 Sahuagin Treasury Key |
| 55939 Door to the Inner Chambers |
| 55940 It was my understanding that these gnomes were not evil, <CHARNAME>. Why must you always carve a path of blood? This is disgusting! |
| 55941 Pfeh! We kill svirfneblin now? For what reason? There is no great evil here, with Solaufein gone. |
| 55942 This key can open the sewage doors in the dungeon. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 55943 Good! And I expect the best of treatment for your drow masters. It is what we deserve. |
| 55944 No-oooo! Aerie! AERIE! |
| 55945 As despicable as it might seem, Aerie, I would advise that you be a little more... harsh. We do not want to give ourselves away. |
| 55946 Careful, Aerie, we must maintain the illusion that we are who we seem. |
| 55947 You did such a thing, <CHARNAME>? This man is well known as a hero across the realms... what were you thinking? Do you never stop to consider your actions? |
| 55948 Drow roaming the surface, even the most noble, should expect an occasional misunderstanding. I am sure this can be worked out, <CHARNAME>... I suggest you try. |
| 55949 Hmph. I have never heard of this drow, and after our experience in the Underdark, I would be surprised to encounter any dark elf who wasn't worth sending directly to Hell. |
| 55950 As a drow on the surface, he should expect such treatment. If I tracked down every rivvil who has wronged me, I would end up doing little else. |
| 55951 Ye'll be dispatching nothing. If ye make one hostile move, ye're getting an axe in yer belly, I swear. |
| 55952 A bold statement, if you can back it up. But we've power to spare here, fools! (A fireball down the dwarf's gullet should instill some respect, I think!) |
| 55953 Interesting. To risk so much for exploration, he must have been seeking something very valuable indeed. |
| 55954 Fool mages, always sticking their noses in where they don't belong. |
| 55955 *ahem* Present company excepted of course, <CHARNAME>. |
| 55956 Ooo, faux pas. |
| 55957 Thanks a lot, Valygar. Shall I call all rangers pigheaded because of you? |
| 55958 Present company excepted, of course. Let's, ah, let this man finish his tale. |
| 55959 Am I in your stereotype as well? I had thought us on good terms... |
| 55960 I hate that attitude in nobles when they speak of the poor. Your stereotyping of all mages is just a different shade of the same thing. |
| 55961 Oooh, mages are the best for hidden treasures. Back home, you couldn't toss a turnip without unearthing some old wizard's stash of goodies. Occasionally, the wiz would still be in it too. |
| 55962 This man is a ranger and a being of worth, <CHARNAME>! A hero that I will not aid you in destroying! I stand against you in this! |
| 55963 A wizard's stash that he was unearthin', eh? Now that bears lookin' into. |
| 55964 I... have not heard of this drow or his supposed good deeds. I pray that you are correct in your assessment of him, <CHARNAME>, drow or no drow... |
| 55965 Then I call rights to it, and no backtalk from you, mage. I know your sort gets all grabby about such things. |
| 55966 This drow is well respected by the Harpers, <CHARNAME>. I will not assist you fighting him. I will return to Athkatla; consider your idiocy before we speak again. |
| 55967 Not so much offense intended to you, <CHARNAME>. Edwin can bite me, though. |
| 55968 Another drow who speaks strange words! Even Boo bristles at his obvious lies! If <CHARNAME> fights, then so does Minsc! Prepare for liberal butt-kickings! |
| 55969 It shall feel good to test my strength against this one... I have heard of his prowess. Come, let us achieve glory this day! |
| 55970 Long have I guarded. Long have I suffered. Who are you, manling, to seek the mortal shell of Kangaxx? |
| 55971 When Evil was torn asunder, three pieces were locked away. For a millennium, I have guarded this piece, dispensing death to those that follow Darkness. |
| 55972 You are no different, manling. Your death was ordained when Kangaxx fell. |
| 55973 You are foolish to follow the whims of Kangaxx. He will not be grateful for your service. |
| 55974 What are you talking about? |
| 55975 I will not listen to your lies. |
| 55976 Regardless, your quest ends here. I have not sacrificed all to have idiot adventurers awaken our Doom! Die, fools! |
| 55977 When you touch the skull, its eyes blaze with an eerie light and it begins to speak: |
| 55978 I would have done the same as <CHARNAME> if you are so weak as to be easily overcome. Your pontificating means nothing, fool. |
| 55979 Hmph. I have struggled as well. Do I not deserve better? Yet obviously, my usefulness is my only means to survive here. Why do you deserve so much more? |
| 55980 Hmph. Our affection is private, <CHARNAME>. Why you should have to justify yourself is beyond my comprehension. |
| 55981 At last! |
| 55982 On <PRO_HISHER> knees? That would be a pretty sight to see, should it ever come to pass. I doubt I've ever seen my raven swallow crow. |
| 55983 I return to awareness. Who is it that has awakened me? |
| 55984 I am <GABBER>, an adventurer. |
| 55985 Who are you? What are you? |
| 55986 I'm sorry to have bothered you. I'll leave you be. |
| 55987 Hah! <CHARNAME> will get on <PRO_HISHER> knees for no one! You've a nerve even thinking of asking <PRO_HIMHER> to do such! |
| 55988 Then you have found your fortune at last, <GABBER>. I am in need of your assistance. Serve me well and you will be rewarded beyond your wildest imaginings! |
| 55989 Stop. |
| 55990 You have power... chained, but it is not of my giving. Do you know where you are? |
| 55991 Not as such, no. |
| 55992 I will not be questioned by the likes of you! Die, fiend! |
| 55993 So we're going to be fighting side by side with the famous Drizzt Do'Urden, hey? Well, if a book gets written about us, then I hope they remember who the *real* heroes are here. I'd really hate to see myself portrayed as some fuzzy-wuzzy sidekick to <CHARNAME> who gets killed off in the first encounter, you know. |
| 55994 I am in the Bridge District of Athkatla. What kind of tricks are you playing on me? |
| 55995 Yet you had a key, a rogue stone. What did you hope to accomplish by trespassing in my chamber? |
| 55996 Athkatla? Hardly. The portal is known only to my creatures, and yet you had a key, a rogue stone. What did you hope to accomplish by trespassing in my chamber? |
| 55997 An excellent idea, <CHARNAME>. Adding Drizzt and his companions to our battle against Bodhi will certainly tip the scales. You show great wisdom. |
| 55998 Fighting alongside Drizzt? An excellent show! Now the forces of right shall truly prevail over evil! |
| 55999 I found a note that told of this place. I was curious to know what this is all about. |
| 56000 What do we need *him* for? Having one drow in your party is not enough, you need to go trolling about for extras? Even though that one is a little on the luscious side... |
| 56001 I found a note that told of this place. I was curious to know what this is all about. |
| 56002 My arrival here was an accident. I will leave. |
| 56003 I am here to kill you. |
| 56004 As you like. Come, friends. It seems that the Twisted Rune shall have a bit of amusement today. |
| 56005 I assure you that we will be no trouble to you. |
| 56006 My arrival here was an accident. I will leave. |
| 56007 What is this? Drizzt Do'Urden? This is a hero, <CHARNAME>... a famous ranger from the Ten Towns, even if he is a drow. What a pleasant surprise. |
| 56008 The odds do not favor that statement, Nalia. |
| 56009 I know of this one, <CHARNAME>, from the Harpers. A drow of good alignment and heroic reputation. He is deserving of respect. |
| 56010 I intend to destroy you. |
| 56011 I'm hoping for the best, however unlikely. |
| 56012 What is this, my raven? Another group of adventurers, hardened with experience and on their way to another feat, no doubt? Are we going to fight, do you think? |
| 56013 I hope you are right, Nalia. We must take care to not upset the natural balance of this region. |
| 56014 Hmm. I suppose the fool Koshi wrote it down. If you destroyed him to get it, you have my thanks. Punishing the fool has been getting boring of late. |
| 56015 Hmph. Adventurers, eh? I likes the look of some of their equipment, <CHARNAME>. Let's kill them. |
| 56016 You're welcome. Now, if you'll excuse me, I shall leave you be. |
| 56017 Ooh, another drow! I begin to see them everywhere, ever since the Underdark! They are so vicious even Boo cowers. What will we do, <CHARNAME>? |
| 56018 I do not cause trouble! I merely seek it out and put the bootheels of justice to it! Ask Boo! |
| 56019 No. I don't suspect that you'll be leaving here today. When you play with powers that are beyond your meager skills, you'll soon find that a price is required. |
| 56020 Forgive me. Obviously, I was mistaken. |
| 56021 In this case, you know too much and your life is forfeit. Come, my friends. It seems that the Twisted Rune shall have some amusement today. |
| 56022 There will be no such trouble. I will be a guide. |
| 56023 No offense, but trouble may find you, malla drow. |
| 56024 We will not need luck. We have faith and good intentions as our guides. |
| 56025 I tire of this. I'm leaving. |
| 56026 You will indeed find your faith to be a beacon, both for you and those that wish to find you. Again, good luck. |
| 56027 That said, you will be the one who is punished now. I will destroy you, fiend! |
| 56028 Ain't gonna need luck when we find those two. If you see them again, you tell them that. |
| 56029 Yet he is the one that you hired, fiend. You did not warn us of his untrustworthiness before we left. In fact, you made us perform all manner of tasks for the privilege of sailing with him. |
| 56030 Aye, yet ye took our gold quickly enough, with nary a warning to go with it. I be tempted to slit yer throat an' call us bloody even. |
| 56031 Yet you took all our gold and hired him... and didn't even tell us what a scoundrel he was! You even made us work for you for the privilege! |
| 56032 It is appreciated. Thank you. |
| 56033 And I see that you have your companion back amongst you. That was your goal, wasn't it? I trust you are no worse for the wear, my dear? |
| 56034 I'm sure we will be careful not to upset anyone we do not have to. We will leave this place in balance. |
| 56035 Ah... I see. Would that I had a spare, but that's not the commerce I traffic in. My sincere regrets at your condition. I would not wish such on anyone. |
| 56036 You're speaking for yourself, o' course. I will be leaving with a sack of loot on my back and the sound of battle in my ears. |
| 56037 Other than the fact that Bodhi has my soul, sure... I'm just fine. How about you? |
| 56038 And an army on your heels, no doubt. |
| 56039 Whatever. Don't have to outrun them all, just have to outrun *you*. |
| 56040 Ah. Here it comes. Why did we even come here, <CHARNAME>? Is it not bad enough that we must face such evil without dirtying ourselves in the process? |
| 56041 A fine sentiment, Cernd, though we may be forced into more trouble than we wish. |
| 56042 This coming from one who is already more soiled than the proverbial pig in the playpen does not exactly fill me with shock. |
| 56043 Speak for yerself, paladin. I'd rather be dirty than dead. |
| 56044 Speak for yourself, do-gooder. If the Shadow Thieves can assist us against such a powerful vampire, I'd happily dance in the mud. |
| 56045 Oh, I don't know. Sometimes flinging mud about can be a liberating experience. If that weren't the case, we wouldn't have politicians. You should try it yourself sometime, my boy. Spread some dirt on those lily-white cheeks of yours. I guarantee within minutes you'll be frolicking and giggling like a schoolgirl. |
| 56046 That may well be, but balance would not need any help from us if it were easy to maintain. |
| 56047 Aye, so the vampire bitch has returned to her nest, and ye're more frightened than a white rabbit in the fall. Now go on... tell us something that will shock us, why don't ye? |
| 56048 You needn't worry. The Underdark will change you long before you have any effect on it. |
| 56049 *sigh* There's never any surprises with these people. "Oh, it's <CHARNAME> come back to town... maybe <PRO_HESHE> can solve *all* of my problems!" I would go insane. |
| 56050 We shall need it... <CHARNAME>, I restate that I do not want to be here. I just don't like it... |
| 56051 Ahh, poor Aerie. Do not let this dark place taint you. We will be away soon enough. |
| 56052 Poor little girl. It shall be interesting to see how you crumble in the Underdark. |
| 56053 Please, priestess... we must find the queen, as well as Irenicus. Do you know where they might be? |
| 56054 We won't need your luck. I am sure that the denizens of this place will pose no threat. |
| 56055 The golem still requires a head. |
| 56056 You are welcome to your opinion. I would place it on your tombstone, but your grave will likely be unmarked. |
| 56057 The golem still requires an arm. |
| 56058 Yes, of course we shall help the elven people if we can. There will be no victory this day if the wizard manages to crush everything that exists of this place. |
| 56059 Of course we'll help! I can feel the Tree of Life calling out in pain... and the pain of the elves is its pain as well! We must do what we can, <CHARNAME>! |
| 56060 The wizard seeks to upset the balance, good lady. So much power and death and corruption in one being... this cannot be allowed. We will do what we can. |
| 56061 Bah! We've no time to run around your city, concerning ourselves with your moronic people! Let them save themselves! We are here for the wizard! |
| 56062 Do... do we even have time for this? We're here to get <CHARNAME>'s soul back. Maybe if it wouldn't take too long. It's horrible to see this place suffer. |
| 56063 Save your veiled suspicions for someone that won't kill you over them. You will speak with respect! |
| 56064 Of course. I meant no insult. |
| 56065 Not by a long shot, fool! You'll speak with respect when you address me, or you'll be sleeping six feet lower than usual. Understand?! |
| 56066 No! What are you doing?! We're here to help them, not kill them! I won't let you do this! |
| 56067 Boo is impressed, Korgan. You remember well to act like drow. |
| 56068 What? Oh yeah, drow. Whatever. |
| 56069 I realize we must act in keeping with our drow appearance, but I begin to think you enjoy it. |
| 56070 You fit the role of drow a bit too easily, Korgan. |
| 56071 Well done, Korgan. You fit the role of drow very well indeed. |
| 56072 Pompous ass. |
| 56073 None of that! You'll keep your tone respectful when addressing us! |
| 56074 Well... we must keep up appearances. |
| 56075 Haer'Dalis! What has gotten into you? |
| 56076 Are you mad, <CHARNAME>? We are here to restore the balance, not make more havoc of our own! I will not allow you to further spill blood in this place! |
| 56077 Haer'Dalis? That is not... like you. |
| 56078 You would spill her blood after all that has happened here?! You are mad, <CHARNAME>, and evil! I will not permit this! |
| 56079 Haer'Dalis? Is that appropriate behavior? |
| 56080 That was close. We must make an effort to act as we appear. |
| 56081 He... he seeks to actually join the Seldarine? The elven circle of the divine? But... Corellon Larethian would never allow it! He *is* mad! |
| 56082 So he seeks to actually join the Seldarine... to become an elven god in fact. The man is insanely ambitious, striving towards the impossible. |
| 56083 The Seldarine? The collection of elven gods led by Corellon Larethian? How would he ever propose to join such ranks? Mad! Mad! |
| 56084 You heard her. Pretentious attitudes for everyone. Care to model yours, Jaheira? Just so we get it right? |
| 56085 Your soul is borrowed, and it shall be returned. You are a blight upon nature, and you shall be destroyed! |
| 56086 For Dynaheir and all fallen comrades, for what is good and right, for all these things shall Minsc and Boo fall upon you today! And we shall taste victory, evil man! |
| 56087 Edwin, in some another time... some other place, such a comment would get you a beating of mythic proportions. It may yet. |
| 56088 We're going to take back <CHARNAME>'s soul if we have to rip it out of your chest, Irenicus! And you are going to Hell... WHERE YOU BELONG! |
| 56089 We appear to be the stumbling, out-of-place fools that we are. Stop pussyfootin' around down here. |
| 56090 I appear scared and out of place. I foresee no trouble in continuing to do so. |
| 56091 He knows our affairs no better than we do at this point. Shall we move on? |
| 56092 Neither do we, right, Boo? |
| 56093 What's so funny? |
| 56094 More and more, I enjoy the fear we wield down here. |
| 56095 You shall enjoy yourself quite a bit less when the illusion wears off. Shall we get moving? |
| 56096 I find it sickening. These drow hold such power over everyone. |
| 56097 Yes, well, we're all aware of *your* views, Nalia. |
| 56098 As it should be. Let us move on before we are forced to kill this fool for questioning us further. |
| 56099 So we come to the final stand in this place that is retribution personified. How fitting that you will meet your end here, mage... you who have brought such chaos into the lives of many! |
| 56100 We came all the way to Hell to stop you, Irenicus, and we will! <CHARNAME> is our friend, and <PRO_HESHE> is going to live! |
| 56101 Ye're a fine one fer words, wizard, but for all yer pretty magics, we've killed ye once and we'll be pleased t' do so again! |
| 56102 You cannot stop the righteous arrayed against you, wizard! We shall live once again in the light, and you will not stop us! |
| 56103 Justice is on our side this day, and in Tyr's name, we shall be victorious once and for all! |
| 56104 I came to Hell to help my friend! Who helps you, Irenicus? Demons? You are going to die alone in Hell, and you know it! |
| 56105 Ahhh, this is a fine battle that shall ring throughout the planes! Live or die, this has been a wondrous adventure! Now we face off with Oblivion! |
| 56106 The darkness has already taken you, foolish one, yet you refuse to close your eyes! Let us help you onwards to your final rest! L'il alurl! For Shar! |
| 56107 Power is on our side, sorcerer! You cannot hope to defeat us in this final reckoning! Your end is near at handâ€â€wail if you must! |
| 56108 Hmph. Some villains just refuse to die. Kill them once, kill them twice... it's like some bad play. Well, here's hoping for a decent ending... |
| 56109 Arvoreen, give me your strength so that I may rectify a great injustice this day! In Hell, I stand against this evil... I shall not fail! |
| 56110 You represent everything that is evil about magic, wizard. You are worse than Lavok ever was. With my last breath, I will fight against you! |
| 56111 No more platitudes, Irenicus. You have taken much from all of us. Now you die your final death! |
| 56112 I grow tired of shouting battle cries when fighting this mage. Boo will finish his eyeballs once and for all so he does not rise again! Evil, meet my sword! SWORD, MEET EVIL! |
| 56113 This is the last stand, here in Hell. We fall or we win. |
| 56114 How quaint. Get on with it. |
| 56115 If you are in need, we will help. I could do no other. |
| 56116 Oh dear. I take it by your tone that this beast is not simply some interloping bulette? |
| 56117 A... awakened? Please tell me that you mean it was hibernating and not... otherworldly. |
| 56118 Ahh. I have encountered beasts that were "awakened" before. This is no natural animal, is it? |
| 56119 What good is this indigo she-beast if she is as much a target down here as the rest of us? |
| 56120 Trust me, Korgan, you would not want us to vote on your worth any more than you should speak about hers. |
| 56121 Ye hear that, Vico? The little girl protects you. |
| 56122 Oh, I don't know. She has a certain... charm. |
| 56123 'Ey there, Vico. Edwin's sweet on ye. |
| 56124 Worry not, Viconia! Minsc and Boo stand at the ready to protect! Right, Boo? |
| 56125 Of course. Selfish in your generosity. Admirable. |
| 56126 We would help regardless. Please know that. |
| 56127 No! You will not attack the small dark ones! Minsc and Boo will not allow it! And I hope no other will either! |
| 56128 Do your worst. It's my choice to make! |
| 56129 Oh, all right! I'll help the little fool! |
| 56130 <CHARNAME>! I will not let you do this! You will not murder those that beg for aid! Who will follow me?! |
| 56131 Do what you must! I have made my decision! |
| 56132 All right, I won't kill him then. Yeesh. |
| 56133 This will not come to pass. I will not allow you to murder those that were asking for our help. Who will follow the righteous path?! |
| 56134 Stand down, Keldorn. I will not attack them. |
| 56135 Do as you must. I have given an order I expect obeyed! |
| 56136 No, <CHARNAME>, I must oppose you on this! They asked for assistance, and you answer with murder? I will not allow it, and I hope I do not stand alone! |
| 56137 Do as you must! I will fight you all! |
| 56138 Very well then, if that is the way you feel. I will not attack them. |
| 56139 I could not make claim to the title of paladin if I allowed this to happen! I hope I do not stand alone as I say I will put a stop to this murder! |
| 56140 You oppose me? I laugh! I have made my decision. Do as you must! |
| 56141 Oh, all right, I'll help them. |
| 56142 No, <CHARNAME>! This is wrong, so very wrong! I will not allow it, and I hope I do not stand alone! |
| 56143 Do as you will. I have given my order! |
| 56144 All right then, I'll help them. Yeesh. |
| 56145 Well, what a happy bunch of fellows. I'm resigned to fate myself, but they *really* bring me down. |
| 56146 No, enough death. I have seen too much. There will be another way. There must. |
| 56147 The capture alone is enough to place the desire for their deaths in my soul. You need more than that? |
| 56148 Well, good, you go and do that. I'll be getting out clean without petty vendettas. Save that for another day when their backs are turned. |
| 56149 Well, then ye're dead. Shut yer yap and let the rest of us sleep. |
| 56150 Then I see no further need to speak. It shall only make the battle all the harder. |
| 56151 They cannot make us do this, can they? To house us together that we might speak... then force us to fight... it is monstrous. Or do you taunt us? |
| 56152 And then Minsc will disrupt them with his bootheel! Yes, speak more of this evil-smashing partnership! |
| 56153 Just as long as we are not targets while you... while... We're targets, aren't we?! That's what this is about; we fight while you sit there going "OHM" or some such! |
| 56154 It would appear that neither of us have much of a choice in the matter. We must trust one another. |
| 56155 And here would come the change in plans, am I right? Wondrously chaotic plan if it is. I expected no less. |
| 56156 <CHARNAME>? I... I don't think they are taking us with them. They are leaving us here! |
| 56157 And this is where we learn that you do not intend to take us with you, isn't it? I trust no one well enough to think they would. |
| 56158 And you are truly a magnificent sight, my lady. I am awed. |
| 56159 Yes, yes, of course, but I have little time for your starry-eyed fawning. Listen well to what I say. |
| 56160 You are... beautiful... |
| 56161 I have... never been treated to the sight of such a creature... you are beautiful. |
| 56162 Of course, my Lady Adalon. <CHARNAME>, do keep quiet. |
| 56163 <CHARNAME>, don't get the beast angered! I don't put much stock in our chances... |
| 56164 <CHARNAME>, I would advise you to remain as quiet as possible. I wish to hear what she has to say. |
| 56165 It is unfortunate that they did not offend you in some way. We might have been spared the headache of this journey if they had to face an angry silver. |
| 56166 And they just strolled on by? Pardon me, madam, but you are no svirfneblin begging for help. Did you not sense their... despotic nature? |
| 56167 I beg your pardon, my lady, but could you do nothing to impede their progress? You must have sensed how corrupt they were. |
| 56168 Clever indeed. They managed to take the one thing that could hold yer wrath at bay. Brilliant. |
| 56169 To stave off your wrath, they have provoked it beyond imagining. These are impressive risks they are willing to take. |
| 56170 Boo shakes with disbelief! Such a crime will not go unanswered! |
| 56171 I must confess that I do not find that appealing. |
| 56172 An improvement, I think. One that you should relish as a brief glimpse of your betters. |
| 56173 I will address you shortly, drow. Make no mistake. First, to the rest of you. |
| 56174 To become such a hated thing... I do not look forward to that. |
| 56175 I've come for what you stole from me! I will not leave here empty! I *will* have my soul. |
| 56176 You should have made more of an effort. We have an obligation to destroy you, as if we needed more reasons. |
| 56177 I have grown tired of chasing you across the realms, Bodhi! Your death will ease the suffering of many! |
| 56178 No matter where you ran, it would not have helped. We are a determined bunch and seem pushed towards you from many sides. |
| 56179 What are you? What has happened to you? |
| 56180 I do not want to get involved. |
| 56181 I am Kangaxx, and I have been cursed. I am dead yet not dead. Cursed to eternal entrapment in this tomb by cruel enemies! Cursed to a fate worse than death! |
| 56182 But the curse can be reversed! With your assistance, I may live again. I have suffered for so long... will you help me? |
| 56183 I will do what I can to help. |
| 56184 I do not intend to get involved in your battles. |
| 56185 To the contrary, I believe that you must have done something to deserve this fate. I will not help you. |
| 56186 Please! I beg of you! I will give you anything you want. Power, riches beyond number! Anything! |
| 56187 Anything, you say? What must I do to help? |
| 56188 No. |
| 56189 Then you too will suffer the rain of death I let fall upon the world when I regain my shell! A thousand years of suffering for every one I have rotted in this tomb! |
| 56190 I suppose if you must go, there is nothing more to say. |
| 56191 Is there no way for you to stay with me, even if we are not together? |
| 56192 The fiends that did this to me keep me from returning by tearing apart my mortal form and keeping the pieces separated. You must find my body that I might again take mortal form. |
| 56193 Where might I find these parts? |
| 56194 I would like to help but cannot. You'll have to find someone else. |
| 56195 Shoulda tried harder, vampire. No way you are getting away again. We got a score to settle. |
| 56196 They are very close! I have no doubt that they lie within the city in tombs such as this. My enemies are predictable if nothing else. Seek my arms, legs, and torso. |
| 56197 You will be well rewarded for your efforts, <GABBER>. Hurry! Find the pieces and return! |
| 56198 Boo would have found her wherever she tried to put her evil foot! That's what we do! |
| 56199 Well then, if you have to go... I suppose there is nothing more to be said. |
| 56200 Is there no way for you to stay, even if we are not together? |
| 56201 You have changed your mind? Will you help lift the evil curse that holds me in this undeath? |
| 56202 Then if you have to leave, leave with my blessing. I hope we meet again. |
| 56203 But I need you here in the party, even if we are not together... I cannot succeed without your strength. |
| 56204 Tell me what has happened. |
| 56205 I will not. |
| 56206 No, you're wrong! Everyone can change! We've been through so muchâ€â€you can't just throw it away! |
| 56207 Then you need only find my arms and legs. Hurry! I must have my revenge! |
| 56208 I have the torso with me. |
| 56209 I... I suppose I am being selfish. You are on a quest of great importance to you, and my leaving would be more than an inconvenience, perhaps. |
| 56210 I have the arms and legs with me. |
| 56211 Very well, <CHARNAME>. It shall be... difficult to stay by your side, but I will. But there is nothing further between us... and we part once your task is complete. |
| 56212 Jon's Key |
| 56213 This is the way it must be if I am to help you. I... am sorry, <CHARNAME>. In my own way, I do... love you. |
| 56214 Let us go now and put this behind us. |
| 56215 I have already found the bones. |
| 56216 I have no intention of throwing it away. I intend on holding it close within the chambers of my heart and letting it warm me as I travel alone, as I must. |
| 56217 Then you need to find only my torso. Hurry! I must have my revenge! |
| 56218 He would seem to have a knack for it, though he is a very... unbalanced individual. |
| 56219 At last, it is complete! Place the pieces in the tomb! The fools could not kill me! |
| 56220 At last, <GABBER>! What have you found? |
| 56221 I have the torso. |
| 56222 I have the arms and legs. |
| 56223 He's provoked one from me, all right. I'll deliver it nice and personal on the edge of a blade. |
| 56224 Then there is nothing more to be said. I hope we meet again. |
| 56225 I have found the pieces. |
| 56226 Nothing yet, but I will keep looking. |
| 56227 But I need you here... even if we are not together, I need you within the party. |
| 56228 Indeed, he has made enemies of most everyone he has met. It is with relief that I say I have rarely seen his equal in evil. |
| 56229 I have decided that I will not help you. |
| 56230 Fools you are! Death shall rain upon the planes, and Kangaxx will violate all! |
| 56231 But worry not, my savior. You shall be well rewarded. You will have the privilege of a sweet, painful death at my hands! |
| 56232 Yes, well, he's provoked himself right into a fireball when next we meet. |
| 56233 Still you do not understand! Not only was I to languish in the tomb for all eternity, but also I must be destroyed by another to be free. |
| 56234 You have truly freed me, and the world will be burned to ash for your sin! |
| 56235 No! What are you doing?! |
| 56236 Well, ye did not kill him, that much is certain. What waste of time did you impose? |
| 56237 Not to be critical, but Irenicus does not appear to be in the business of learning what he does not wish to know. |
| 56238 So you made a valiant attempt to redeem him. You cannot be blamed for at least trying. |
| 56239 Once it's over, I'll find my own way in the world for a while. And... and then perhaps one day we will meet again. And then we'll talk. |
| 56240 I... I am willing to stay with you now. Your quest is too important for me not to help you, even if... if it will be hard, with you so close. And then, after, I can leave. |
| 56241 Then let us continue. A new day awaits us. |
| 56242 Must you act so pathetically within the earshot of others? What is it that you expect him to say? That he thinks your scars add character? Ha. Are you truly so witless? |
| 56243 I was talking to him, not to you! You've made your feelings on everything apparent enough! |
| 56244 Oh, did I hurt your feelings? Have I scarred our precious butterfly even worse now? |
| 56245 Go away, Viconia. M-maybe it is silly of me to ask you about my scars, <CHARNAME>. I... I just respect your opinion. |
| 56246 Look who's come barging in! I should check the wards on the door, Ketta. I do believe that they've weakened enough to allow the riffraff in. |
| 56247 I don't think they make you ugly, Aerie. Far from it. |
| 56248 It would take far more than a couple of scars to hide all the other beauty you possess, Aerie. |
| 56249 I have no time to discuss your vanity, Aerie. |
| 56250 It would appear so. An ice storm trap next time? |
| 56251 Viconia's right. What am I supposed to say? Let's just keep going. |
| 56252 Well, if... if you're going to listen to her, then fine. You are very cruel, <CHARNAME>. You deserve someone like her, obviously. |
| 56253 Quite. Now, as for you. This is private property, friend. You are not welcome here. |
| 56254 Have some backbone, girl. Do not wilt like a flower and expect him to pick you up. Have some respect for yourself. |
| 56255 I was just asking for his opinion... is that so bad, Jaheira? |
| 56256 I suggest you forget your scars, child. Life has treated you harshly, but it will be harsher still if you cannot get over your loss. |
| 56257 I apologize for intruding. I will leave. |
| 56258 I have heard of you slave lords, and I intend to rid the earth of your evil. |
| 56259 I... I don't know. Maybe it was silly of me to ask you, <CHARNAME>. I just... respect your opinion. I have no idea what I look like... to men. |
| 56260 I don't think your scars make you ugly, Aerie. Far from it. |
| 56261 No one orders me about, "friend"! |
| 56262 It would take far more than a couple of scars to hide all the other beauty you possess, Aerie. |
| 56263 I have no time to discuss your vanity, Aerie. |
| 56264 Jaheira's right. You should forget about them and move on. |
| 56265 What is this place? |
| 56266 I... maybe you're right. It was silly of me to bring it up. I'll not bother you again about anything. |
| 56267 Jon's Key |
| 56268 I was just trying to talk to someone about traveling. Why must you be so cruel? |
| 56269 You think you are the only one who has met harshness in this world? Be glad that having your wings ripped from your back is the extent of your misery, fool! |
| 56270 You are no martyr, Viconia. You don't fool me! And... and I am not interested in *your* travelsâ€â€I was asking <CHARNAME> about his! |
| 56271 I have been traveling since I left Candlekeep many, many months ago. |
| 56272 I am not interested in discussing my travels, Aerie. |
| 56273 Viconia's right... if you want to whine about your difficulties, do it somewhere else. |
| 56274 I will tell you what would make this journey more pleasant. Not having to listen to the constant whimpering of a wounded dove. |
| 56275 None of our travels have been overly pleasant, child. If your view is that we are on some carefree outing, you are desperately in need of correction. |
| 56276 I never said that was what I thought! And even if I did, I... I... I don't think I would need correction from such a bitter, nagging woman as you! |
| 56277 Bitter and nagging, am I? Better that than a wide-eyed doe with no sense to realize the universe does not revolve around her. Experience will bring perspective, I imagine. |
| 56278 Yes, well, I don't need the benefit of *your* experience, Jaheira. I was asking <CHARNAME> about his. I... I just wanted to talk about his travels, is all. |
| 56279 I have been traveling since I left Candlekeep many, many months ago. |
| 56280 I am not interested in discussing my travels, Aerie. |
| 56281 Listen, Aerie... if you want to whine about your difficulties, do it somewhere else. |
| 56282 Well, perhaps you will leap off the nearest cliff, then, and spare the rest of us the wretchedness of your company. Some of us have better things to do than listen to your bellyaches. |
| 56283 Oh yes, I know! I've seen you sizing him up like... like he's some piece of steak! You think the rest of us don't know? |
| 56284 Why should I care? Do you deny your own intentions? The "wounded bird" you play, floundering, crying to attract <CHARNAME>'s attention. It is pathetic. |
| 56285 That... that has *nothing* to do with it! What... what's pathetic is that you actually think anyone would be interested in a cold, heartless, evil woman like you! |
| 56286 If <CHARNAME> shows you the slightest attention, it is out of pity for a poor little dove. The same cannot be said for any male's interest in *me*. |
| 56287 I don't care! I don't care! <CHARNAME>, I can't stand this! I can't stand *her*, and I especially can't stand being stuck on the ground like some worm. Oh Baervan, help me! |
| 56288 Life down here isn't so wretched, Aerie. |
| 56289 Well, you're going to have to accept it, Aerie. You're going to have to find the strength to face up to it. |
| 56290 Don't say that... we'll find some way to restore your wings, I promise! |
| 56291 If you continue to act so weak and maudlin, then I agree... you'll never survive. |
| 56292 Apology accepted, but I warn you, return at your own peril. I shall not brook such intrusion twice. |
| 56293 Ho ho! How bold! Ketta, shall we? |
| 56294 And no one invited you in, "friend"! Now, do you intend to leave, or do I have to be nasty? |
| 56295 I apologize. I will leave. |
| 56296 A challenge! Let's have at it, then! |
| 56297 What is it? Private property! That's what it is! Now, are you going to leave, or do I have to teach you a lesson? |
| 56298 Oh, come now, child. I have been listening to your simpering for quite some time, and it begins to grate on my nerves. You are in this group to help, as I recall... pull yourself together! |
| 56299 Why don't we try the lesson? |
| 56300 I apologize for the intrusion. I will leave. |
| 56301 I am *not* your child! I'm older than you are, more than likely! And... and the only thing my "simpering" does is distract you from those little looks you're always giving him! |
| 56302 Ketta, my dear, well done! But I think it would be prudent to retreat to the stairs. |
| 56303 I... I do no such thing! You are mad, girl! Obviously, a life of adventuring is too much for you. |
| 56304 If... if a life of adventure will turn me into an annoying, heartless woman ready to abandon her dead husband's memory so soon after his death, then... then maybe you're right! |
| 56305 You cross a line, Aerie. You do not know enough about love to question my love for Khalid. Mention his name again, and you shall regret it. |
| 56306 Indeed you are. I have little idea why he even keeps you about. |
| 56307 Shut up, drow! Shut up! Ugh! As if anyone would listen to... to the opinions of some poisonous serpent! Spend your venom elsewhere, Viconia; he won't listen to you! |
| 56308 What if he will? Perhaps my charms appeal more than yours. You might amuse for a few moments, but <CHARNAME> deserves someone of vigor like me. |
| 56309 Nobody deserves you, just like nobody deserves some horrid disease! You're like some affliction that should be cut off from the rest of the body! |
| 56310 Like your wings? Oh, don't glare, little girl. You have nothing to offer <CHARNAME>, no matter how desperate you play. You cannot compete. |
| 56311 There... there is more to love and affection than frequent trips to the bedroom, Viconia! I'm sure <CHARNAME> wouldn't care for someone who has spent most of her life on her back! |
| 56312 Perhaps we should ask him. What of it, <CHARNAME>? You don't actually see anything in this cripple, do you? Put her in her place, as it should be. |
| 56313 Knock it off, Viconia! You don't hold a candle to Aerie when it comes to beauty in any form! |
| 56314 I like Aerie. I'm not going to put her in her place, and neither will you. |
| 56315 I may not be interested in Aerie, but I don't want to hurt her feelings, Viconia. |
| 56316 Of course I don't see anything in Aerie. It's a trial just having her around half the time. |
| 56317 Obviously, I mistook you for something other than a spineless worm. So be it... snuggle with the sniveling cripple if you are truly so weak. |
| 56318 Oh, <CHARNAME>... this... this is so embarrassing! I... I didn't mean for it all to come out like this! Nothing ever seems to go right! |
| 56319 So be it. Crawl like some orphaned puppy; spend your time with the cripple if it pleases you. I do not know how I missed this weakness within you earlier. |
| 56320 Why not? She cries and flaps about constantly like the walking wounded as it is. What more harm could you do? |
| 56321 Obviously, you two... deserve each other then. I... I'll just go and sleep elsewhere then, and be alone. You are not the man I mistook you for, <CHARNAME>. |
| 56322 I... how could you be so cruel?! I... I was only trying my best; I... I was only trying to win your approval. I'm... I'll never be... oh, I have to go! I have to leave! |
| 56323 If you continue to cry in such a fashion while we are attempting to help him on his quest, then you are indeed useless! For the last time: Pull yourself together, girl! |
| 56324 Shut up, Jaheira! You think he'll be somehow impressed because... because you're so mean? You do nothing but boss people around! No wonder that Khalid was the only man who would marry you! |
| 56325 I warned you before, girl! You know nothing of my Khalid, and I will not tolerate your speaking of him! |
| 56326 Or what?! I do know of your Khalid! They say... they say he was a weak man whom you bossed around! Well, <CHARNAME> isn't like that! He isn't! |
| 56327 I never said he was! And I will not have a foolish girl disparage my dead husband regardless of what you think my intentions towards <CHARNAME> are! |
| 56328 But it's you who are jealous, Jaheira! You're constantly picking on me, glaring at me! You want <CHARNAME> to yourself! |
| 56329 You are being foolish. This is obviously some attempt to gather <CHARNAME>'s attentions. <CHARNAME>, I suggest you let the girl down easy before more harm is done. |
| 56330 I think she's right. You're the one who's jealous, Jaheira. Just cool down... you and I are only friends. |
| 56331 I happen to like Aerie, Jaheira. I'll do no such thing. |
| 56332 Perhaps you're right. Aerie... you do know that I don't have any feelings like that for you, right? |
| 56333 Easy? Aerie: Back off. Khalid doesn't deserve to be attacked, and neither does Jaheira! That's enough out of you! |
| 56334 I... I never implied otherwise, <CHARNAME>. We have simply been through so much, I thought... well, it does not matter. I shall leave the girl in your hands, then. |
| 56335 *sigh* Then it is up to you to help her, <CHARNAME>, if you have such feelings. I shall stay out of it... and away from you. Obviously, our friendship upsets her. |
| 56336 I... I never... I didn't mean. Ooooh, just... just leave me alone, <CHARNAME>. Just leave me alone. I... I'll sleep away from everyone else... I just need to be alone. |
| 56337 Ach, <CHARNAME>... I said easy... |
| 56338 Hmph. We are meant to find this a revelation, coming from you? It might surprise you to find that most would consider you without redeeming qualities either, drow. |
| 56339 If I required commentary from you, mongrel, I would tug on your collar or blow a dog whistle to gain your attention. My words were for <CHARNAME> and <CHARNAME> alone. |
| 56340 Yet you speak them loudly enough for everyone to hear. Perhaps a little longer attached to that stake might have improved your outlook. |
| 56341 It was plenty to reduce my already poor view of rivvin, half-breed, which were my words to <CHARNAME>. Resume chewing cud and allow me to converse with him. |
| 56342 I agree with Jaheira. I don't need to hear your commentary on humans when there's few enough qualities to redeem a drow. |
| 56343 You shouldn't judge all humans by the actions of a few, Viconia. |
| 56344 *sigh* And you probably wonder why they don't think much of you... or any drow, for that matter. |
| 56345 If I need to hear from our resident wingless pigeon, I will bang on a drum. Otherwise, return to your pathetic cowering and let me speak. |
| 56346 I agree with Aerie. I don't need to hear your commentary on humans when there's few enough qualities to redeem a drow. |
| 56347 You shouldn't judge all humans by the actions of a few, Viconia. |
| 56348 You spit your venom in so many directions, drow, I find it surprising that you think none would fall on him. Perhaps you think your motives are not transparent. |
| 56349 As transparent, perhaps, as your need to muscle your way into the business of others. You have the temperament of a high-strung poodle, druid... I find it surprising that your husband lived as long as he did. |
| 56350 Utter his name not, drow. I'll not have you defile his memory, I warn you. |
| 56351 Your memory of him seems selective and short, but I remember him well. A bag on his head and I might have shown him what pleasures he was missing by |
| 56352 Enough! Enough! Khalid would never... I would never... enough! I will not tolerate this; I swear I will kill you! |
| 56353 Calm yourself, half-elf. You earned this anger by disrupting my words to <CHARNAME>. I was simply saying that I regret my earlier words to him... and I regret little. |
| 56354 You treat everyone else like dirt. Why should I be any different? |
| 56355 Don't worry about it, Viconia. |
| 56356 Don't make me laugh. You're a bitch, plain and simple. Now get lost. |
| 56357 You are "exceedingly harsh" in your treatment of everyone, Viconia. Why should he be any different? |
| 56358 Well, for starters, he is far more worthy of my respect than a mooning cripple like yourself. Perhaps you should flap helplessly a bit further away and allow your betters to speak. |
| 56359 I can't imagine what you think to accomplish. You think <CHARNAME> doesn't see the saliva dripping from your fangs? You're not worthy of him, Viconia. |
| 56360 And I suppose a mewling kitten like yourself is? Do not make me laugh, wingless one. You are not even worthy of licking <CHARNAME>'s bootheel. |
| 56361 M-maybe <CHARNAME> doesn't care for your lusts, drow. Evil like yours isn't seductive, it's just sick, and... and seeing you crawl all over <CHARNAME> makes me retch. |
| 56362 It takes strength in a man to gain my attention, little fool. I am sure he has no interest in one who can barely pull herself together to utter a sentence. |
| 56363 But do not take my word for it. What do you say, <CHARNAME>? Is there an attraction to this elf's constant whining? Maybe you find her helpless stuttering amusing? |
| 56364 Leave her alone, Viconia. I like Aerie far more than I like you. |
| 56365 I enjoy Aerie's company, and that's all there is to it. |
| 56366 There is no attraction between me and Aerie, no. |
| 56367 She is annoying, that's true, but I've tolerated her so far. |
| 56368 I see. Obviously, you are a weaker male than I thought. Enjoy the cripple, fool, but when you finally find her stale and slaver after me, you'll be left wanting. |
| 56369 F-fine, then. If... if that's what you want, <CHARNAME>, then she's all yours. Obviously, you are not the man I thought you to be. |
| 56370 Now that the fool is dealt with, there is the matter of... my apology. I do not do so often, <CHARNAME>, but as I said... I may have been too harsh when we spoke last. |
| 56371 You treat everyone else like dirt. Why should I be any different? |
| 56372 Don't worry about it, Viconia. |
| 56373 Give me a break! You're a bitch, and there's nothing more to it! |
| 56374 Are we to be entertained by another of your stories, drow? No doubt they consist of little but one set of lies strung to another. Why you bother is beyond me. |
| 56375 I have no need of lies, half-breed. But obviously you find cause to be jealous of my relationship with your man. |
| 56376 Snare set successfully |
| 56377 Then you fool yourself, elg'caress. I see your glances at <CHARNAME> even as you speak of the dead. You have abandoned Khalid, though you do not admit it. |
| 56378 Set snare failed. |
| 56379 What is known? |
| 56380 Naught but their names. The mage is Jon Irenicus. The girl is Imoen. |
| 56381 I didn't do anything; he did it all. I had... |
| 56382 Why was this man not gagged? Did he not slay four of you? |
| 56383 What should be done with them, sir? |
| 56384 What would I want from such a pathetically weak fool as you? You let a mongrel dictate your actions. I'll not associate with you further, male. |
| 56385 Jealous? I am <CHARNAME>'s friend. I would warn him of a nearby snake readying to attack the same I would warn him away from your lascivious attentions. |
| 56386 Khalid would not begrudge my moving on! You hold yourself in such high esteem? You think <CHARNAME> would find such a soulless harlot as yourself attractive? |
| 56387 What say you, <CHARNAME>? I give fair warning of this serpent's intentions. Warn her off before she entwines her way around your heart and it is too late. |
| 56388 I'll do as I like with Viconia, Jaheira. Back off. |
| 56389 I value your opinion, Jaheira. Consider me duly warned. |
| 56390 I have no feelings of that kind for Viconia... surely she knows that, although I mean no offense. |
| 56391 Hah! I could never love such a heartless bitch! Don't even worry about it! |
| 56392 So be it. Obviously, your tastes lie where I did not anticipate. Enjoy your pleasures while you may, then, <CHARNAME>. I'll not be there to bail you out. |
| 56393 But you will do nothing about it? I see. Then I shall leave you to her tender mercies, if that is what you prefer, and you shall hear no "I-told-you-so's" from me. |
| 56394 Good, then. I was about to tell you the reasons behind my flight from the Underdark... do you still care to hear the tale, <CHARNAME>? |
| 56395 Sure, why not? |
| 56396 No, I've lost interest. |
| 56397 You worry too often. And speak your mind more than the rest of us would like to hear. Mongrels should be silent and respectful to their betters. |
| 56398 My words were for him, drow. You shall know I am addressing you if I spit in your direction. |
| 56399 Such fire! Did I step on your tail, perhaps? Or are you afraid precious <CHARNAME> will get wind of your true demeanor and stop paying you attention? |
| 56400 <CHARNAME>'s and my own relationship is none of your concern, if you could even conceive of such a notion. I shall speak to him, and you will be silent. |
| 56401 You worry away at things... sometimes so much I expect them to fall apart. Why he should be interested in your nagging I don't know. |
| 56402 What has gotten into you, Aerie? I would not expect you to leap upon me so for a simple statement. |
| 56403 But we all know what is coming, Jaheira. Nagging, picking, bossing. That's... that's what you're best at, isn't it? Oh, never mind. |
| 56404 Perhaps experience in the real world will serve to give you perspective. Not that I would wish to nag you away from your spite; excuse me. |
| 56405 It never is with his kind. Would it be enough if he did get all he wanted? |
| 56406 Ahh, then this is the closest I've come to understanding the fool. A cause I can respect. |
| 56407 This appears to be the statue described in the Vampiricus Omnibus. The book spoke of placing the vampire and its master's heart within the statue's arms to destroy the curse. |
| 56408 That can't be possible, can it? An entire city, especially one as ancient as yours must be, cannot simply vanish. |
| 56409 Irenicus is the most vile of villains if he dared destroy a whole city! I can't believe that, and I have believed some amazing things, let me tell you! |
| 56410 If an entire elven city is gone, it is a tragedy beyond mention! |
| 56411 He has asked me to discover why the druids and the animals are attacking the town. |
| 56412 Without your help, our task will be easier said than done, and I know how easy it is to say things. |
| 56413 Knock him on the head? It is obvious this lout has no compassion for others and no inclination of how nature must be protected. Ignore him, <CHARNAME>. |
| 56414 If he intruded on the grove, I see why the druids would object. Was there no other direction his road could take? Did he even bother to speak to the man? |
| 56415 Is there no more help you can offer? I will fight evil until the end, but... but we have fought this fight before and were basically dismissed. |
| 56416 I have no idea why we are listening to this halfling. Did they even bother to speak to the man, reason with him, before they "knocked him on the head"? Arrogant bastards. |
| 56417 <CHARNAME>, you can't seriously consider poisoning this font. If there is evil there, we must cleanse it. To destroy it is sacrilege! I will not allow it! |
| 56418 What would possess you to accept this man's poison? You would not actually destroy the grove? I would stand against such an attempt. |
| 56419 There must be some other way of dealing with the town's problem than by destroying an entire grove, <CHARNAME>. Do not do this, I warn you. |
| 56420 Groves are wonderful... you wouldn't really poison one, would you? Boo suggests that perhaps you are tricking this evil little man. Smart thinking, I agree. |
| 56421 This feels wrong, <CHARNAME>. To destroy the grove forever just to deal with what is wrong now... no. No, this cannot be. We must find another way. |
| 56422 I, for one, have never had much of a liking fer tree-huggers an' their kin. One less precious grove will make no difference in my book. Let's poison the prancin' bastards. |
| 56423 It seems a bit to me like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, my raven, but it might be interesting to see if such a poison would even work. What would a dead grove look like, I wonder? |
| 56424 No! You're... you're using the poison! How can you do this?! Would you poison the Tree of Life too?! I will not allow you to get away with this! Who will help me?! |
| 56425 No, <CHARNAME>, no! This is evil! You poison nature itself! I shall not partake in this... who stands with me?! |
| 56426 No! What have you done?! You have destroyed everything... this is not what I had intended! You evil fool... who will stand with me?! This must be punished! |
| 56427 The foul murderer from Athkatla has made his way here? Then he must be stopped! By all that is holy, his disgusting ways cannot continue! |
| 56428 Rejiek? This is the killer from the Bridge District, no? So he fled us only to come to Trademeet, my raven. Perhaps we shall have a second chance at a reckoning. |
| 56429 This is the evil killer who takes skins that do not belong to him! We have discovered him, <CHARNAME>! We must take the bootheel to his ways! |
| 56430 Eh? The tanner from Athkatla has come here? Once again, it seems there is more to him than there first appeared. Come, boy... do you know where you were taken? |
| 56431 Wait, <CHARNAME>! There... there is more here than it seems. I sense evil... dire evil all around! And especially from the old woman! |
| 56432 Errr... one moment, <CHARNAME>. Maybe it's just me, but I see illusions all over the place here. Especially on the old woman there. Any idea how an old woman would have a tiger head, by chance? |
| 56433 I offer my apologies, goodman mayor. Sometimes, <CHARNAME> does not act as <PRO_HESHE> should. You have paid <PRO_HIMHER> already, so we shall help as we can. |
| 56434 Well, that was rude. I... I don't really think it's appropriate for us to run around, acting like thugs to innocent people who need our help! |
| 56435 Let us be away from here, then. I've an itch fer killin', and it seems t' me some snot-nosed mayor'd be a good place to start. |
| 56436 Why demand money up front? I thought we were here to help these people, not browbeat them like thugs. If this is how you operate, I'm not very interested. |
| 56437 No, <CHARNAME>, we will not squeeze this poor man for whatever he has left. The armor is worth much, if coin is all you desire. My apologies, goodman mayor. |
| 56438 What?! Nay, good mayor... ignore this lout. If coin is all <PRO_HESHE> desires, the armor you provided can be sold for plenty. I apologize on <PRO_HISHER> behalf. |
| 56439 No, we certainly aren't going to press upon this poor man for even more coin! We have plenty! Ignore <PRO_HIMHER>, mayor... we'll be leaving now that things are all done here. |
| 56440 Bah! Tales of Umar are nonsense, I can assure you. Nor does it sound like the work of ogres. We should check the cabin, if anywhere, <CHARNAME>. |
| 56441 I don't know much about this Umar, but it sounds like some kind of evil magic. Perhaps this ogre is a powerful mage? It's a possibility we shouldn't ignore. |
| 56442 Whooo... all this talk of Umar brings back memories, let me tell you. My great-great-cousin One-knee was one of the adventurers that hunted the Great Witch of the Hills a long time ago. Said she had a fondness for little children and that her house was made out of chocolate candy, of all things. Personally, a house made of turnips sounds much more appealing, but One-knee stated decisively that the house was delicious nevertheless. According to his stories, the witch was dead... something about getting shoved in an oven... but then Gramma Jansen said that One-Knee was pretty delusional, so who knows? |
| 56443 If wolves were shadows and doing this, they'd have to be terribly evil. Dire wolves, perhaps. I... don't think ogres would do this, but I'm not sure... this all sounds quite ominous... |
| 56444 I sense no taint of these shadows within this noble halfling, <CHARNAME>, if that is what you fear. I shall not leave this one imprisoned. |
| 56445 I have heard of this halfling, <CHARNAME>... a hero of no small stature, and I do not refer to her height. Come... we cannot leave her imprisoned here. I will free her myself. |
| 56446 Are... are you sure we should leave her imprisoned like that? It seems so... heartless. Please, <CHARNAME>, we can't just... leave her here... |
| 56447 Hmph. She could be tainted with these shadows, a trap waiting to be sprung. Best to leave her in her cage until we have dealt with the true evil in this place. |
| 56448 Hmm... I'd say this man has been rendered magically mindless. A zombie servant... how useful. (I can think of several others who could use similar treatment!) |
| 56449 This... this man... has been rendered mindless by some kind of spell. I have no idea if... if dispelling would even work. A... a terrible state to be in, I would think. |
| 56450 Hmm. This man's a zombie, for sure... just without all the inconvenience of rotting flesh and oozing brains. Boy, making someone into a servant like this is a master stroke! No complaints, no union meetings, no requests for a raise, all the benefits of the undead without the smell! |
| 56451 Oh, the poor man! He's... he's being kept in this state somehow with magic. We've got to help him! |
| 56452 These people do not seem in control of themselves. They are servants, urged on through magical control to throw themselves on our blades... a sad way to perish, to be sure. |
| 56453 These people are slaves, mentally as well as physically, controlled despite themselves. All we can offer them, unfortunately, is a quick death. |
| 56454 These... these people do not wish to fight, yet they do! Their minds are enslaved with magic! Pfaw! If only there were something else to do than end their lives...! |
| 56455 These poor people can't help themselves! Their... their minds have been enslaved! If only we could help them! |
| 56456 There is little to question here, Anomen. You must uphold the law and think of the Order. To do otherwise is to risk everything that you have striven towards for so long. |
| 56457 There are many who easily sidestep laws through wealth. Perhaps, in this case, it would be best to see why the law has failed so. |
| 56458 To decide between justice and honor! Oh, it is a conundrum that would tie even Boo up in knots. I do not envy you. My decisions are usually easier than this. |
| 56459 I do not see the conflict. The rich one eludes justice. Kill him and be done with it, for he has it coming. Fail your blood, and be a coward. |
| 56460 In the end, your actions are your own choice, Anomen. I pray that you will take the path that you know is the right one. |
| 56461 The law may not be able to do anything, Anomen, but such men as this Saerk always trip over their own schemes. If he is responsible, he will pay, as you say. |
| 56462 I know it is difficult to accept, my friend, but this is the best path. The law does not always lead to justice, but the alternative is chaos. Saerk will pay in the end. |
| 56463 I disagree with you completely, although I'm sure you will ignore me. Bah! It's my finding that vengeance feels ever so much better than nobility. |
| 56464 It's been my experience that some crimes never end in punishment, by the law, gods, or otherwise. I would never let down my kin as you have, but then you are not me. |
| 56465 Too many of the wealthy escape justice, yes. If you are sure that Saerk is responsible for the death of your sister, then we must ensure he pays dearly! |
| 56466 Ho! The blade shall go where the law cannot! Let our hearts sing with blood as this foul man falls before our wrath! |
| 56467 Bloody vengeance it is, then. For once, I see sense in this place. No drow would stand on semantics and let the death of kin pass quietly. |
| 56468 Anomen, no! What have you done?! You... you have slaughtered an innocent! By Torm, you cannot see the justice in *this*! |
| 56469 She is no innocent, I tell you. None of this family is. Say what you will, not even the Order will tell me differently! All of these dogs will die! |
| 56470 By... by the gods! You foolish man! Can you say that this young woman was a murderer as well?! You have murdered an innocent! |
| 56471 No! Minsc did not come here to kill young girls! You cannot tell us that the young girl was anything but innocent! This is not right! |
| 56472 Anomen! What have you done?! That girl... she is not responsible for what her father does! She is an innocent! |
| 56473 There. For good or ill, it is done. I want to hear no reprisals either. It was my decision and mine alone. Let us return to my father and tell him what has occurred. |
| 56474 I have the feeling we are intruding on a very private matter, <CHARNAME>. I feel uncomfortable with our intrusion; perhaps we should leave... |
| 56475 Hah! Cuckoldry is punishable by imprisonment in this place, I hear. In Thay, it would be death. The wench should consider herself lucky! |
| 56476 Oh my... perhaps this wasn't the best time for us to join Keldorn here. I feel like we are intruding on... on something that should really be private... |
| 56477 This... this is bad, <CHARNAME>. For Maria to have relations with another man is punishable by imprisonment. Keldorn must be tearing himself up inside... |
| 56478 I've taken care of your druid problem. They won't be bothering you again. |
| 56479 You are becoming an impressive pest, one that I am finding difficult to ignore! |
| 56480 Honestly, <CHARNAME>, I simply do not know what to do with you. I grow tired of seeing you in my shadow. |
| 56481 A fair line easily used by servants of the wizard themselves. We have been imprisoned and worse, and given many reasons to distrust strangers we encounter. |
| 56482 We serve no evil mages, no sir! But Boo looks upon you with suspicion, little man. How is it you come to be here? Never have I seen Boo's whiskers quiver so! |
| 56483 Athkatla? That's... the City of Coin, right? A merchant city in Amn. We come from the Sword Coast, a ways to the north. Why do you think we're in Athkatla? |
| 56484 Then you too know the hardship of being set into a maze like a helpless hamster! We are comrades in peril! Boo asks what you propose we do next, little man. |
| 56485 Ye're just about off yer chair in anticipation of this here bauble, wench. If ye wants it as I thinks ye do, ye'll pony up gold, and that be all there be to it. |
| 56486 You do not fool us, pretty wench. It is obvious you want this gem, and if you do, you'll pay handsomely. Come now, how much is it truly worth to you? |
| 56487 You have extorted a payment from Raelis in return for our help, <CHARNAME>. I do not agree with this decision... it smacks of selfish greed. |
| 56488 What? You have already received your payment, <CHARNAME>! We should help these people as we have pledged to! There is no honor in such cowardice! |
| 56489 Morals belong to the foolish and the dead. Let them take their hapless prisoners. If we follow, it is in the promise of more treasure and greater glory, nothing else. |
| 56490 What... what are you doing, <CHARNAME>? We've... we've got to help these people! We've already been paid, after all! |
| 56491 Hmph. Obviously, these players have broken their own laws and are nothing more than fugitives. Let them face justice in their own land. There is no reason for us to interfere. |
| 56492 What is this? Minsc and Boo were just getting into this wonderful story when it was sadly interrupted. A work of mastery, this is! |
| 56493 Well, I were thinking that something stank like the Styx, and it be fine to see me senses were not deceived. Har! Good thing I did not pay to see this, aye? |
| 56494 Oh, good! For a moment there, I thought this was a legitimate effort being put forth. We don't get many playhouses here, and I was beginning to see why! |
| 56495 The lad has no honor and abuses his position. It is a foul deed, this... but if we are to help Lady Nalia, we must find proof of his misdeeds. There is no other way. |
| 56496 Bah! Would that we could visit upon the boy the punishment he deserves! If we do anything, we must find proof of his foulness and ruin him. |
| 56497 Such corruption is not uncommon, and there is little we can do to help Nalia now. Unless, of course, we find proof of Isaea's true nature and bring it to his superiors. |
| 56498 We must be calm, <CHARNAME>. Vengeance will only bring conflict with the guard. To help Nalia, we must prove that our cause is just... there is no other way. |
| 56499 Someone has rattled the little one's brains? Hmm, I know how she feels. If this was done on purpose, he deserves a mighty kick in his posterior at the least! |
| 56500 Ehhh, there be many things I would do gladly. Harming children be not one of them. Her man be a cur and not worthy of the spittle on me boot. |
| 56501 This... this was done by her father? Oh, how horrible! We've got to help her! |
| 56502 Obviously, the gnome's family is as insane as he is. The Hidden, is it? Sounds like some poor excuse for a theatrical title. Let us ignore these morons! |
| 56503 I... I know of Lady Jysstev. How she would be involved is beyond me... I've always thought of her as proper and stuck up. This could be interesting. |
| 56504 Were the life of a child not at stake, I would say leave these mad gnomes to their own devices and forbid them from ever reproducing again. |
| 56505 Githyanki? Why would the one who sent us here have enemies such as these? Come, my raven... let us end this fight and solve this mystery! |
| 56506 What is this?! Gith! Githyanki, in fact! Why would the Hidden have these creatures as enemies?! |
| 56507 What is this? One of the illithids? Perhaps a spy. Its psionic powers would help the child... although how the mad gnome knew of its presence I cannot imagine. |
| 56508 A mind flayer? Here? A spy perhaps, using its psionic powers to keep its secret. Strange that Jan's mad uncle should be aware of its presence. |
| 56509 Ahhh, things grow clearer, my raven. An illithid, hiding from its ancient enemies, the gith, amongst the primes in this city. Jan's uncle was wise to send us its way, although how he knew of it I can only speculate. |
| 56510 A commendable spirit, to help others... although with maturity, girl, you will come to realize that not all are worthy of such attention. |
| 56511 A commendable spirit, to help others... although with maturity, girl, you will come to realize that not all are worthy of such attention. |
| 56512 Oh, this be a fine one. A sprout with nae sense in her bloody head. Help others, is it? Help me, lass, by keeping yer mouth shut, an' I'll be pleased enough. |
| 56513 Oh, this be a fine one. A sprout with nae sense in her bloody head. Help others, is it? Help me, lass, by keeping yer mouth shut, an' I'll be pleased enough. |
| 56514 Helping others is good! What a nice little girl you are. Would you like to see my Boo? I think he approves of you too. |
| 56515 Helping others is good! What a nice little girl you are. Would you like to see my Boo? I think he approves of you too. |
| 56516 You speak as if unaware of class distinction, and yet your manner exudes it. A sign of immaturity... perhaps adventuring is not the place for you. |
| 56517 You speak as if unaware of class distinction, and yet your manner exudes it. A sign of immaturity... good, then, that <CHARNAME> is sending you ahead. |
| 56518 I have no idea what you intend, <CHARNAME>, but I'll not allow it. Worry not, boy... this is obviously <CHARNAME>'s idea of some ill-timed jest, that is all. |
| 56519 You would not pick on such a poor servant, <CHARNAME>, I am sure. Do not upset yourself, young lady. <CHARNAME> has an odd sense of humor, it seems. |
| 56520 Do not be such a lout, <CHARNAME>. Even if you are jesting, the poor man is too frightened to know the difference. |
| 56521 I was not the one that fled our last encounter, Bodhi. Sorry if I... scared you. |
| 56522 You are all shadow, Bodhi. I am the light that will mark the new day. |
| 56523 And I grow tired of you. I will have your head on a pike before we are through here! |
| 56524 Hardly. It was simply more important that I report of your condition to Irenicus. He has decided that it is of no importance, interesting though it is. |
| 56525 What in blazes are you blathering on about? You speak as though someone is scribing your words for some pompous book of history. |
| 56526 Oooh, you are no less the fighter for having been through the drow, are you? A pity you are not of more use. |
| 56527 You should strive to find more charity in your heart, my lady, but we are not here to argue with you. Go out the way we came, and I am sure you will find your way to safety. |
| 56528 You dare reprimand those who have died defending you? Even now they strive to protect you from evil you don't even understand! You could have been dead! |
| 56529 Absolutely! Round up all the little ingrates who haven't bled to death and dock their pay for their laziness! Finding good servants is bad enoughâ€â€a noble lady shouldn't have to put up with laggards as well! You are a brave, brave woman, my dearie. |
| 56530 We come as your rescuers, and you spit venom? I don't know about <CHARNAME>, but I don't like your attitude. I'd like to see you squirm for once, I think. |
| 56531 Nevertheless, your choice of companions shows dubious breeding. You should know the dictates of station, or perhaps you are dressed-up peasantry, like so many? |
| 56532 Regardless, I have not the time to stand here discussing what you will or will not do. I have more important duties to take care of. |
| 56533 A simple warning, one that you would do well to heed. Follow Irenicus no more, <CHARNAME>, or your end will be dire indeed. |
| 56534 I assure you, my lady, that I am of as noble blood as you are... although I make no pretense that I am more worthy as a result. Sir Keldorn Firecam, at your service. |
| 56535 I will speak no more to you. Fight, and if you survive, be thankful and go home. |
| 56536 You follow in the hopes of retrieving something dear to you. I say that the longer you keep this up, the more you will lose. |
| 56537 Do not speak to us as if we are all peasants, dear woman. I am Anomen Delryn, son of Lord Cor, and I am not about to be treated as dirt by a woman I have come to save! |
| 56538 You may be surprised to learn that we are not all lowly born. I am of a noble family, but I am no better than the others here who have come to save you. Be thankful. |
| 56539 You follow in the hopes of retrieving something dear to you. I say that the longer you keep this up, the more you will lose. |
| 56540 You follow in the hopes of retrieving something dear to you. I say that the longer you keep this up, the more you will lose. |
| 56541 Hmph. The woman could try almost anyone's patience. No wonder the trolls did not eat her... no doubt she would taste as sour as she seems. Aaaah... did I say that? |
| 56542 I think a month of tortures amongst the spiders of Lolth would remove her sense of superiority. The elg'caress should know when she meets her betters, blood or no blood. |
| 56543 Har! I'd like it more if me duty was to pull the blue-blooded wench over me lap and show her a time like no lady I've e'er met! Har har! |
| 56544 You follow in the hopes of retrieving something dear to you. I say that the longer you keep this up, the more you will lose. |
| 56545 I wonder what such a woman would do if forced to live in poverty for once. Be the most noble woman of the gutters, I suppose. Some dirt would look good on her gilt, however. |
| 56546 Take poor Jaheira there. I understand you have developed a relationship of sorts. It's so hard on couples when something happens to one of them, don't you agree? |
| 56547 Ahh, but I do not speak for him, Jaheira. I speak of you. This is a lesson, <CHARNAME>. Follow me and you will lose more than you could imagine. Starting now! |
| 56548 Consider the brutish Viconia here. How difficult is it to lose someone when you have only just discovered such feelings? |
| 56549 But does he fear your loss? Let's find out. Follow me further, <CHARNAME>, and you will lose more than you can fathom. Starting now! |
| 56550 All right, men, prepare yourselves to be boarded. All weapons ready. Don't worry, <CHARNAME>, I'm sure this won't be any trouble at all. |
| 56551 I have no fear for his well-being, monster. |
| 56552 Consider the needs of young Aerie here. It is so rough on your couples when something happens to one of them. |
| 56553 I have no fear of losing <CHARNAME> to the likes of you. |
| 56554 I fear no such loss, Bodhi. I am confident he will prevail. |
| 56555 I do not speak of your losing him, child. <CHARNAME>, follow me further and you will lose more than you can imagine. Beginning now! |
| 56556 Consider the heroic Anomen. It is so scarring when a couple suffers a loss. |
| 56557 I was not referring to you. Follow me further, <CHARNAME>, and you will lose more than you can imagine. Starting now! |
| 56558 I am quite confident in <CHARNAME>'s abilities. I will feel no such loss. |
| 56559 A-as you say, mistress. |
| 56560 As... as you say, mistress, so it shall be. |
| 56561 W-what do you wish of me, mistress? I am your s-servant in all things. |
| 56562 Very well, mistress. Very well. |
| 56568 She is lost to you, <CHARNAME>. Jaheira has been quite receptive to my wiles. I doubt your fumbling could have inspired the loyalty I have taken with a bite and a gaze. |
| 56569 You see, <CHARNAME>, she is now quite agreeable. Of course, it would have taken more time to fully turn her, but she is deadly enough as she is. |
| 56570 Here she is, though I doubt your fumbling could have inspired the loyalty I have taken with a bite and a gaze. Perhaps Fetch will be her new name. Yes, I like that. |
| 56571 Yes, very docile now. Except when I wish her to be otherwise. She is not fully turned just yet, of course, but she will still obey when I send her against you now! |
| 56572 Here she is. A fine, obedient girl. She will not be returning to you, <CHARNAME>. I doubt your fumbling could inspire the loyalty I have taken with a bite and a gaze. |
| 56573 She is not even fully turned, and yet she is mine to use against you. Perhaps your connection was not as strong as you might have thought? |
| 56575 Ah yes, mighty Anomen. Very naughty despite his declarations otherwise. I doubt your fumbling could inspire the loyalty I have taken with a bite and a gaze. |
| 56576 His will is mine, even though he is not fully turned. He will carve your heart out with but a word I say, and there is nothing you can do while I live. |
| 56577 Now make haste; our time is precious, and matters of battle must take precedence. |
| 56578 I have to face a powerful vampire named Bodhi. What would help defeat her? |
| 56579 A loved one was taken by a vampire. What can I expect when I find them? |
| 56580 Someone I care about has fallen to a vampire. Is there any way to save them? |
| 56581 Elhan suggested I try and get help to face Bodhi. Have you suggestions on who to ask? |
| 56582 This "Rhynn Lanthorn," what is it exactly? Elhan was vague. |
| 56583 Has Elhan not given you the holy water from our angered temple? I assure you, it is as potent as any can be. |
| 56584 Apply directly to the creature, or perhaps there may be other chances to use it as well. Perhaps the creature's environment can be sullied. I do not know more than this. |
| 56585 You are in the service of Elhan? Ask whatever you wish and I shall answer as best that I am able. |
| 56586 Then I wish you safe travels. |
| 56587 What in the...? Is someone behind me? |
| 56588 As for you, being friends of Galvena's enemy makes you her enemy too. Die, fools! |
| 56589 Thank you, but I do not need to ask you anything at the moment. |
| 56590 I know of no cure for vampirism at this stage. Perhaps the followers of Oghma might have a tome in their collection that can help. I can offer no more than this. |
| 56591 That is most distressing. I wish I could give you happy news, but I cannot. Brace yourself for the worst, and do not hesitate to strike when you must. |
| 56592 Those that are recently turned into vampires cannot resist the will of their master, and even once the controlling beast is dead, they possess the taint of undeath. |
| 56593 I know of no cure. Seek the followers of Oghma, the god of knowledge. They might have a text on the subject, for they are great collectors of knowledge. That is all I can offer. |
| 56594 I fear I cannot help you with this. You will have to return to what connections you made during your stay in Athkatla. These resources are yours alone to know. |
| 56595 The nature of such things is necessarily vague. Their origins are lost to time, and we only know that they must be treasured. |
| 56596 Legends of the Lanthorn maintain that it was perhaps once a mere carriage light, but that our ancestors did light the way to new lands with it at the fore of their processions. |
| 56597 It was enchanted such that it dispelled the darkness, forcing the fell creatures of the void to relinquish their hold on nature. At least, those are the stories of old. |
| 56598 You rescued me! Oh, I knew you would. That's why I care about you, you know. You never let your loved ones down. |
| 56599 You have saved me, and I am in your debt once more. I am... I am glad you risked so much to come for me. |
| 56600 You came to rescue me. I had not thought of myself worthy after suffering the taint of that vampire. |
| 56601 You have... you have saved me, freed my spirit from a most foul contamination. I am in your debt. |
| 56602 No, I am in *your* debt. You restored my spirit with your beguiling ways long ago. |
| 56603 Your weakness nearly cost us all our lives. I trust this will not happen again. |
| 56604 As well you should be, but I will not hold that over you. I only wish that you return to me. |
| 56605 They are deviants. Let them rot in Spellhold. |
| 56606 I see. No, rest assured that it will not. So, do we travel as before, or do we go our separate ways? Your manner does not welcome my return. |
| 56607 Yes, get back in the group and let's go. |
| 56608 No, I do not need you just yet. |
| 56609 Your fanciful tongue speaks like an elf's; your words flow like curdling milk. Still, I am... most glad to be returning to your company, <CHARNAME>. |
| 56610 And I am more than happy to have you return. Come, rejoin with me, and we will see this quest through to its end together. |
| 56611 Yes, well... as much as I regret to say it... I do not need you right now. |
| 56612 I welcome the invitation. No doubt you have missed my discipline. Thank you, <CHARNAME>. I... |
| 56613 I missed your company. |
| 56614 Well, shall we go then? |
| 56615 Yes, Viconia. Welcome back. |
| 56616 No... I do not have need of you in the group right now. I am sorry. |
| 56617 I see. Very well, I shall be on my guard. Do we continue now? There are more important things to do than sit here talking about things that... don't matter. |
| 56618 I could do no other. Your loss would have been unbearable, Jaheira. |
| 56619 I am just glad I survived this stupidity. Hopefully, you never let it happen again. |
| 56620 I had to. You are valuable to the party... and to me. |
| 56621 You... do not. I see. |
| 56622 I do not often express such feelings, but I must say that... I would not wish to be parted from you again. |
| 56623 Yes, let's get moving. |
| 56624 I don't need you in the group at the moment. Perhaps I will get you later. |
| 56625 Very well. Let's waste no more time. |
| 56626 I... I would say as much about you, <CHARNAME>. I will stand at your side as long as I am able... if you will have me there and return the favor. |
| 56627 Most definitely, Jaheira. Come, we must be going. There is still much to do. |
| 56628 Well, actually, I have no room for you at the moment. Perhaps I will come for you later. |
| 56629 I shall enjoy some quiet time once this is done. We have had very little time to speak... |
| 56630 I'm sorry, I should not be so swept up in this. Let's go. |
| 56631 Your work is but half done, <CHARNAME>. Please help me! Kill me... |
| 56632 Aaagh... Hurry! You cannot understand the horror of it! My soul... Helm protect me... it BURNS! |
| 56633 Do not think like that. You are worthy of the group... and you are worthy of me. |
| 56634 And you would be right, but I felt obligated to save you anyway. |
| 56635 I could not let you suffer such a fate. Not with that creature. I... prefer you here. |
| 56636 Please, <CHARNAME>! |
| 56637 It warms my heart to hear you say so. Know that I will never leave you again. This I swear, no matter what comes. |
| 56638 What is happening to you? I have just killed you! |
| 56639 You shall get no help from me. Suffer for all I care, vampire. |
| 56640 No, not death but torture, half death. The bitch Bodhi has cursed me with vampirism. I am... I am a monster. Only my soul is my own, but the horror is too much! |
| 56641 I would have it no other way. Let's get out of here. |
| 56642 Eh, well, hold that thought. I do not have room for you currently. |
| 56643 I cannot control my desires... blood... I think I've gone mad. My body speaks, but it is not I who decides the words. The body that lies in that coffin is not me. It is my prison. |
| 56644 My lady, I will follow wherever you lead. |
| 56645 I see. Then I was mistaken in my judgment. I fear it is becoming a common condition for me. Very well then. |
| 56646 I see. Very well, I resolve to no longer be a burden for your empty obligations. I have seen enough of that in my time already. Do you wish me to return to the group? |
| 56647 Yes, and quit wasting time. |
| 56648 No, I will come for you later. |
| 56649 Very well. I shall waste no more time on matters of little concern. |
| 56650 Stow it, Aerie. We've got to get moving, and there's no time for this. |
| 56651 I missed you terribly. I could not bear to think of you suffering such a fate as this. |
| 56652 Now don't get all mushy; I just did what I thought I had to. I... I missed you too, Aerie. |
| 56653 Sahuagin? I did not anticipate this. Back to the ship! |
| 56654 What? But... but I thought... never mind. Never mind what I thought! Let's just... let's just get going! |
| 56655 Right you are. No more wasting time. |
| 56656 Actually, Aerie, I don't have room for you right now. |
| 56657 Yes, no wasting time or effort or feelings or... or... nothing. |
| 56658 I knew you wouldn't let me down. You followed... and I'll follow you, <CHARNAME>. I'll follow wherever you lead. |
| 56659 Let's go, Aerie. I want to get back to the sunlight outside. I hope the sky matches your happy mood. |
| 56660 That will... have to wait, Aerie. I don't have room for you at the moment. I'm sorry. |
| 56661 No... no room? But I thought... you just said... never... never mind! Never mind what I thought. |
| 56662 I don't care if it does or not, <CHARNAME>. You are my light. That's enough for me. |
| 56663 What can I do to help you? |
| 56664 I care not. I will offer no assistance to a vampire. |
| 56665 YOU MUST KILL ME! Kill the body in the coffin! I am but a victim of Bodhi's schemes. Please finish the job! Free me! |
| 56666 How can I free you? |
| 56667 I will not. |
| 56668 Then this place is as much your tomb as it is mine. If my body, that... that thing... does not die, you shall never escape. Only my hand shall open the way. Thus has Bodhi ordained it. |
| 56669 Curse you! |
| 56670 Get a stake, a wooden stake, to end the curse. The shaman of the kobolds has one! He fears me. My... desires have forced me to feed upon his tribe. |
| 56671 There is a secret room near the Tome of Madness. Within, the shaman worships the shard, now grown. Use the stake to kill my body and get the hand. |
| 56672 The hand is half of the key! The crystal is the other! You shall know both when you find them. Find them not, and you will die here. |
| 56673 Go then and find the stake! Hurry, please! The beast within eats at my soul! |
| 56674 It searches your mortality for a piece not so tightly secured, and you realize that you can give it what it wants. It offers power for a price. Do you accept? |
| 56675 I don't wish to alarm you, but Boo is absolutely fretting about your condition. Are you well? Fear in Boo is uncommon, and usually weasel-caused. |
| 56676 I will be all right. Just a bit light-headed, that's all. |
| 56677 There is no cause for concern. I am in control. |
| 56678 I am fine, Minsc. Mind your own business. |
| 56679 We can rest if you wish. I do not understand what Irenicus did, but Boo has said that it was traumatic, and I will guard if we must stay here a while. |
| 56680 That is good. I will guard if you need to rest. It is the least I can do, since I could not stop Irenicus. |
| 56681 This small bag is ideally suited for holding gems. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 56682 Then Minsc and Boo will turn their attentions to more important things, like staying alive. We should get moving if you are through with your headache. |
| 56683 Are you well, <CHARNAME>? You seem troubled... out of balance. |
| 56684 I'm not sure, but I think I'm all right. Just a little dizzy. |
| 56685 It is of no concern. I will be fine. |
| 56686 It is none of your concern, Cernd. Go plant yourself a bush or something. |
| 56687 This place is unnatural. I would be surprised if we would be untroubled even without the horror you have suffered. |
| 56688 It is of great concern. Watch yourself carefully; you have undergone much. |
| 56689 I will leave you be, as you wish, but I look on with great trepidation. Do not ignore symptoms of future problems, <CHARNAME>. |
| 56690 I've done all that I can for you. |
| 56691 I need you to take me inside. |
| 56692 Very well. Goodbye. |
| 56693 I've done all that I can for you. |
| 56694 I need you to take me inside. |
| 56695 Thank you, then. Goodbye. |
| 56696 ...uh, what? |
| 56697 I just thought you would like to know before I called for the GUARDS! GUARDS! TRAITORS IN OUR MIDST! TRAITORS! GUARDS! |
| 56698 There's people dead all over, and the fighting is still going on. I could hear it. Are you going to get moving, or do I leave without you? |
| 56699 Perhaps a strategic course would be better. There is a secret door in the castle wall north of the palisade. I... I used it often so I could aid others unseen. |
| 56700 Get to safety, Daleson, and prepare those that are left for a return to duties. This place will require a good scrubbing when we are through. |
| 56701 The servants themselves might also be concerned. Would they appreciate the burden of management? It might be worth an attempt, but it would not be popular here. |
| 56702 They were mercenary, but they came well recommended. Amn trained. Glaicus, however, was my father's friend. Maybe he was killed elsewhere in the castle. |
| 56703 The guards were always a bit standoffish though. A bit unfriendly, with the exception of Glaicus, but they came well recommended. Amn trained, they were. |
| 56704 If they are not here, the battles must have been quite the slaughter. But where are the bodies...? I expected to at least find that Glaicus had fought to the death... |
| 56705 I do not like the thought of being under the Roenalls when I have worked hard to gain what I have. I would rather they not get their hands on my father's holdings. |
| 56707 We sought the optimum time to destroy him. We must take care when dealing with such as he. You did not know what he was. |
| 56708 You served well, if unknowingly, and your agreement to help him is forgotten. The amulet is worthless... the blessed bear only Harper pins. |
| 56709 What's the matter? Can't you compete? Looks like a buyer's market to me. |
| 56710 There's no way you're setting me up to fight some new deity. I'm not stupid. |
| 56711 Poor Helm can't compete on his own? I find that amusing. |
| 56712 All right, all right. I'll see what can be done, but it's not going to be free. |
| 56713 But telling mortals what to do is. Yeah, I know the drill. All right, what do you need? |
| 56714 Fine, fine, let's just get it over with. |
| 56715 I greet you, <MALEFEMALE>. What business have you with the master of the slave pens? |
| 56716 I don't know... who is the master of the slave pens? |
| 56717 Who are these slaves? |
| 56718 How are these slaves purchased? |
| 56719 How are these slaves purchased? |
| 56720 There are slaves here?! This is an outrage! |
| 56721 That would be me, foolish one. I am the only one who knows the keys for releasing the slaves from their pens, magical as they are. |
| 56722 The mages of Sorcere crafted the cages for us to prevent Houses from getting more slaves than entitled. And they can be seen by my customers as well. |
| 56723 Have you actual business with me, <MALEFEMALE>, or do you simply enjoy the fetid aroma of penned surfacers? I am late watering the dogs, and you are keeping me from it. |
| 56724 Who are these slaves? |
| 56725 How are these slaves purchased? |
| 56726 How are these slaves purchased? |
| 56727 Watering the...? This is an outrage, the way you treat them! |
| 56728 Pfeh. Humans, mostly. Surfacers from a recent raid by the young. All of the passable ones have already been purchased or selected by the Handmaidens. |
| 56729 I have little idea what is to be done with these ones. Humans make poor servants, and they are as blind as rothé. These ones are not even of use in the fighting pits. |
| 56730 I suppose eventually someone will purchase them and donate them to the temple to be fed to the spiders, for Lolth's favor. |
| 56731 Whom do I talk to who's in charge around here? |
| 56732 How are these slaves purchased? |
| 56733 How are these slaves purchased? |
| 56734 Feed them to the spiders?! That is horrifying! |
| 56735 These slaves are available for purchase by noble Houses or by Handmaidens. All lesser creatures exist to serve the greater glory of the Spider Queen. |
| 56736 Why? Are you thinking that you require slaves for yourself? You are associated with no noble House that I know of. Return if a matron mother sends you. |
| 56737 No, I don't. |
| 56738 Then I shall leave you be. |
| 56739 I'll be going. |
| 56740 Maybe I should speak to someone in charge here, then. |
| 56741 I am associated with House Despana, fool! I demand that you allow me to purchase these slaves! |
| 56742 Who are these slaves, anyway? |
| 56743 Then I shall be on my way. |
| 56744 They are sold to noble Houses or to Handmaidens. You... you are favored by Matron Ardulace, yes? Of House Despana? Are you here to buy these slaves? |
| 56745 Yes, I am. How much are they? |
| 56746 If I bought them, could I set them free? |
| 56747 If I bought them, I wouldn't have much use for them, I don't think. |
| 56748 No, I'm not. |
| 56749 Eh? What is so outrageous about it? These are lesser beings, nothing more. Rothé for the slaughter, if we so desire. What would make you think otherwise? |
| 56750 These... these are humans! Children, even, kept as slaves by these fiends! An outrage! |
| 56751 Because I am not drow, fool, and I will have your head! |
| 56752 Nothing at all. You are absolutely right. |
| 56753 Begone then, for I have much to keep me occupied here. |
| 56754 You do not fool me, <MALEFEMALE>. I know the Houses well, and you are in no matron's favor... you have only recently arrived to Ust Natha as well. |
| 56755 I serve only those who serve the Houses, or those the matrons tell me to. I do not know what you are up to, <MALEFEMALE>, but you have no business here. Begone with you. |
| 56756 Hold, friends. I have heard of your prowess, of late... perhaps you will have interest in a business proposal of mine. |
| 56757 Well, it depends on what House Despana needs them for. If you need them to work outside of the city, you might want them armed, but it costs a little extra. |
| 56758 But if you simply need them as servants or as offerings to the Spider Queen's temple, I needn't equip them at all. |
| 56759 Seeing as they're humans, I will give you a good price, <MALEFEMALE>. Equipped and armed, you can have them for 2,000 gold. As they are... ehhhh... half of that. |
| 56760 Who are you? |
| 56761 I'll buy them all... equipped and armed. |
| 56762 What is is that you want? |
| 56763 I'll buy them all, but you needn't equip them. |
| 56764 I don't have that much coin! |
| 56765 I'll consider it and return later. |
| 56766 Is there no way to lower the cost? |
| 56767 Free? Why would you want to do that? Are you so weak and frail as to care for these slugs? Why would you even say such a thing?! |
| 56768 Never mind. Forget I said anything. How much are they? |
| 56769 I want to set them free to watch them be devoured in the Underdark, fool. Or perhaps I will hunt them; I haven't decided. |
| 56770 I say it because I am not drow, and I will have your head! |
| 56771 Never mind. I'll be on my way. |
| 56772 Then use them for sport outside of the city or send them to the temple as an offering. The Dark Mother's spiders are always hungry. |
| 56773 I see. How much are they? |
| 56774 Could I set them free if I wished? |
| 56775 No, I'm not interested in buying them. |
| 56776 What?! Intruders?! Intruders, here?! GUARDS! GUARDS! |
| 56777 Ehhhh, as you say. You are a strange one, for a drow. They must breed them very weak in Ched Nasad... no wonder you left that place. |
| 56778 Excellent. You are doing me a favor, taking these filthy humans. I'll have to go and get their equipment, but I shall bring them out of their cages first. |
| 56779 While I am gone, you may wish to leave your instructions with them. I'll have them armed and sent where you wish. Lolth's favor on you, <MALEFEMALE>. |
| 56780 Excellent. You are doing me a favor, taking these filthy humans off of my hands. This leaves me free until the next raiding party brings in more. |
| 56781 I will bring them out of their cages for you before I go. Then you may deal with them as you desire. Lolth's favor upon you, <MALEFEMALE>. |
| 56782 Then you shall not have them. Lolth does not reward those who are not wealthy, fool. Begone and return when your House has more gold to its name. |
| 56783 It is a low cost as it is, but these *are* only humans, I suppose. *sigh* Have them equipped then for 1,500 or with nothing for 500, if your House is so destitute. |
| 56784 Fine, then. I'll buy them all... equipped and armed. |
| 56785 Fine, then. I'll buy them all, but you needn't equip them. |
| 56786 I don't have that much coin! |
| 56787 I'll consider it and return later. |
| 56788 That's valuable merchandise, you fool! Be careful! |
| 56789 You'll do as you wish, no doubt. These base vermin are not going anywhere, I suspect. |
| 56790 No, I'll sell you nothing. For all I know, you could be a devotee of that harlot, Eilistraee, and I'll not be punished by the Handmaidens by selling you anything. Away with you! |
| 56791 Please, master! I haven't eaten in a week... |
| 56792 No more of your idiocy! You've outlived any usefulness. |
| 56793 What is going on here, Leathel? |
| 56794 Yes, I hear you. Your thoughts are clear. |
| 56795 You are not welcome in most parts of the city. Remember that. |
| 56796 Yes, I understand that you are an ambassador. |
| 56797 I know you had nothing to do with it. |
| 56798 No, you will not be chastised for the actions of others of your kind. |
| 56799 You may stay until your business is concluded. |
| 56800 Enough. We will hear no more. |
| 56801 The slave never listens, and I tire of it. |
| 56802 Have them watched at all times. |
| 56803 Of course. |
| 56804 The slave is not your property. He is mine. |
| 56805 Ah. Sport, I see. The matron must favor you highly to reward you so. Very well... my misunderstanding. |
| 56806 I'm sorry, my mistress. The slave got out of hand and was punished. |
| 56807 Mind your own affairs, fool. Do not test my wrath. |
| 56808 Understand this, fool. You are easier to replace than a trained slave. |
| 56809 It would be better if you left the liaison alone. Dealing with illithids is tiring at best. |
| 56810 I have warned you. Do not bother me further! |
| 56811 I would say no more to her. You will only harm yourself. |
| 56812 Do not disturb the liaison. She has much to contemplate. |
| 56813 I have spoken my warnings again and again! You will disturb me no further! |
| 56814 Butâ€â€mistress, please! No... |
| 56815 I have other sons. |
| 56816 Idiot! Where shall I find a slave now? |
| 56817 Drow Torturer |
| 56818 Drow Torturer |
| 56819 Do you even understand our language? Leave us be, filthy drow! One day, your people will pay for your evil! |
| 56820 So, you... you are our new... owner. I see. And what is it you would have us do, drow? |
| 56821 Gods help me! Get out of my way! |
| 56822 I intend for you to be free. |
| 56823 I don't care what you do. Go. Stay and be killed. It doesn't matter to me. |
| 56824 Go to the temple of Lolth and tell them Veldrin is offering them sacrifices. They can feed you to the spiders or... whatever. |
| 56825 Ho there! Have you seen the surface bitch? 'Tis fine sport, but she's quick on her feet. |
| 56826 Why do you chase her? |
| 56827 I freed you for target practice, fool. Start running! |
| 56828 (Lie) She went that way. |
| 56829 (Truth) She went that way. |
| 56830 F-free? Wh-what... what do you mean, free? Why would you do this? How would we even get free of this place? |
| 56831 Why do you chase her? |
| 56832 I have seen no one. |
| 56833 Excellent. She'll taste pain soon! |
| 56834 Excellent. She'll taste pain soon! |
| 56835 She was captured on a raid. I enjoy the chase before death. She may even believe that she has a chance. Hah! |
| 56836 (Lie) Well then, she went that way. |
| 56837 (Truth) Well then, she went that way. |
| 56838 I have not seen her. Sorry. |
| 56839 I can't explain, but you will be equipped shortly. Go to the gates and tell them you are doing a service for me... get to the surface. Can you do that? |
| 56840 Gem Bag |
| 56841 I can't tell you why. Just go to the gates and tell them you are performing a service for me. Then go, as best you can. |
| 56842 What? She ran this way just a moment ago. Are you blind? |
| 56843 I'm sorry. I've seen no one. |
| 56844 Careful what you say, male! |
| 56845 Hmm. She WAS here. I don't know what game you play, but I refuse to listen to it any longer. Let's move! |
| 56846 I have no patience for this! Just go! You have your freedom... what you do with it is up to you! |
| 56847 I have no patience for this! Just go! You have your freedom... what you do with it is up to you! |
| 56848 Yes, of course. I'm very sorry, mistress. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a surface elf to flay. |
| 56849 Go? You mean... you shall just let us leave? |
| 56850 You're getting arms and equipment. After that, you're on your own. Now beat it. |
| 56851 Scroll Case |
| 56852 You're getting arms and equipment. Maybe go to the gates and tell them you're doing a task for me... perhaps they'll let you out. But you're on your own. |
| 56853 Scroll Case |
| 56854 Yes, you can leave. Go where you like, or stay here. But I can do nothing else for you. |
| 56855 Yes. Go to the gates and tell them you are performing a task for me... perhaps they will let you leave; I don't know. But I can do nothing else for you. |
| 56856 Scroll Case |
| 56857 This sturdy container allows dozens of scrolls to be placed in it, safe from exposure to fire, rain, or lightningâ€â€common hazards faced by any adventuring wizard. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 56858 No! No, please! If... if you have any compassion at all, you will not send us there! |
| 56859 Bag of Holding |
| 56860 I beg you! I have seen the drow priestesses take others... we have heard the screams! We... we will do whatever you wishâ€â€just do not sentence us to this! |
| 56861 Bag of Holding |
| 56862 Bag of Holding |
| 56863 As with other magical bags, this one appears to be a common cloth sack of about 2 feet by 4 feet in size. The bag of holding opens into a nondimensional space, and its inside is larger than its outside dimensions. Regardless of what is put into this item, the bag always weighs a fixed amount. STATISTICS: Weight: 5 |
| 56864 I shall do as I like, and I wish you to go to the temple. Do it... now. |
| 56865 Perhaps a quick death would be better... Start running, I suppose. |
| 56866 Fine, fine. You are free to go, then. Find your own way, for I can do nothing for you. |
| 56867 Fine, fine. You are free to go, then. Find your own way, for I can do nothing for you. |
| 56868 Fine, fine. Find your way through the Underdark, then, if you can. Go to the gates and tell them I have sent you... after that, you are on your own. |
| 56869 Fine, fine. Find your way through the Underdark, then, if you can. Go to the gates and tell them I have sent you... after that, you are on your own. |
| 56870 No! Curse your vile heart, drow! Run, my friends, RUN! |
| 56871 I... I can try to lead my friends to the surface. With weapons and equipment, it... it is possible. Th-thank you... whoever you are... |
| 56872 Without weapons or equipment... there is little hope for us. But... it is a better fate than staying here. We shall... make the attempt. Thank you. |
| 56873 Good use for who, eh? Not fer us, that's for certain. When can we expect to see a return on <CHARNAME>'s fool investment? |
| 56874 Even with the weapons and equipment... there is little hope for us. We can try to find a way out... perhaps... if you truly will not hunt us down. So be it. |
| 56875 You would... set us free in this city, unarmed, with nothing? We will be dead soon enough. But... but better, perhaps, than the alternatives. So be it. |
| 56876 Your reputation is such that you should not let us wait to see results. I question your motives even now. |
| 56877 Where? Where exactly is it being put to good use? We are not to be played with, Linvail. I should like to see results, and I should like to see them soon. |
| 56878 As... as you command, drow. May the gods curse you forever for this. |
| 56879 Dwarf |
| 56880 Dwarf |
| 56881 Boo does not think so, despite your kind words. You smell of treachery. Prove me wrong or face the boot! |
| 56882 Oh, I'm certain that it is. But for whose benefit? Our knowledge of you is tenuous at best. How long should we wait before you prove your good intentions? |
| 56883 Finally, something tangible, though they had better be worth the enormous expense. I might have bought better if <CHARNAME> had not paid you. |
| 56884 Ilmater, I pray to you... send mercy to your faithful servant... aid her and the poor souls that are with her. I beg of you... |
| 56885 One day, there shall be a reckoning for your kind, drow. Your foul goddess shall not stand against the wrath of the good gods, I swear it. |
| 56886 You'd have bought a trip to the graveyard if you had spent the money we needed to rescue Imoen! Minsc and Boo would see to that! |
| 56887 Ilmater, free your humble servant... free us from this dark, cold place... |
| 56888 Would someone *please* get this disgusting hairball out of my sight? (And his hamster.) |
| 56889 It... it's one of the dark people! *sob* Pl-please don't hurt me! |
| 56890 Where's my mommy? Can I see my mommy? I miss her... |
| 56891 The gold was not important, Edwin. We have to help <CHARNAME> locate Imoen and this Irenicus person. |
| 56892 I saw my farm burn down, and now I can't find my mommy. Do you know where my mommy is? |
| 56893 What color is the sky in your world, little girl? (Gods! Such ignorance of common sense.) |
| 56894 I've never seen black elves before. You sure are pretty. Why have you brought us here, <SIRMAAM>? |
| 56895 Trinkets? You expect to appease us with a few baubles we could have found at the local bazaar? We have more important things to worry about! |
| 56896 Get away from me! Get away from me, you horrible creatures! |
| 56897 You killed my husband! Damn you all to the Abyss! |
| 56898 My... these are my people whom you've imprisoned here. I demand you free us! |
| 56899 Oh, how generous. Do you expect that to compensate while you delay our more important concerns? We have friends in need of rescue and vengeance both! |
| 56900 We've done nothing to you! |
| 56901 *sigh* If... if we aren't fed to the spiders, we will be sacrificed. My... my poor people... |
| 56902 My... my entire family... why? *sob* Why? |
| 56903 How... *sob*... how can there be such... such evil...? |
| 56904 I'm just a halfling... *sob*... oh, please, Yondalla, save me! *sob* |
| 56905 I hardly think this is the time for it. We are on a mission of mercy. |
| 56906 And vengeance! |
| 56907 More errands? Could this not wait? <CHARNAME> seeks both a friend and an enemy. |
| 56908 This is a waste of our time! This fool only wishes to rob us of our time as well as our already given gold. |
| 56909 As much as I will ramble on at the drop of a hat, I would think it wiser to find this Imoen and Irenicus with all haste. It's like my uncle Gummo use to say, "Blah blah blah," he'd say, and we'd be right there with our "Uncle Gummo, we've got things to do," and he'd be right back with the "But just one more story. Just one more, blah blah." |
| 56910 Off Hand THAC0 |
| 56911 Main Hand THAC0 |
| 56912 Well, my point is that we should stop talking and fetching and try and find Imoen fast. |

| 56920 Oh... please... I can't take this... |
| 56921 Patience, Imoen. Soon, it will all end. |
| 56922 No! Don't do this... I don't wanna die! |
| 56923 Silence, dog! You have no purpose but to die by my hand. |
| 56924 You are nearly ready for her, Imoen. She will be pleased. |
| 56925 I am Visaj, a merchant of some note within this city... although you will not have heard of me, no doubt, since you are newcomers. No matter. |
| 56926 Hindra Jae'llat |
| 56927 Hindra Jae'llat |
| 56928 I notice you are well equipped with magic, among other things, so I have assumed you may be interested in purchasing an item I currently have in my possession. |
| 56929 See this golden rope I have here? 'Tis a relic of no small power, yours for the buying... if this is of any interest to you, of course. |
| 56930 That depends. What does this rope do? |
| 56931 No, I have no interest in purchasing anything from you. |
| 56932 Well now, what this gilded rope can do and what it can be used for are separate things. A bit of explanation is necessary in order for you to understand. |
| 56933 Go on, then. |
| 56934 Rilloa Jae'llat |
| 56935 Are you sure? This rope has value beyond its mere function, and I am prepared to offer it to you at a very reasonable price. Surely you will at least consider! |
| 56936 Rilloa Jae'llat |
| 56937 Tell me what the rope does, if it's so valuable. |
| 56938 No. As I said, I'm not interested. |
| 56939 Ah. A pity. I shall try my best to find another buyer then. If you change your mind, do return. I promise it shall be worth your while. |
| 56940 First, to add credibility to its value, you must know that the rope belonged to the infamous Jarlaxle, until I stole it, that is. You do know of whom I speak, yes? |
| 56941 Correct, and he always has much magic in his possession, and this rope was once his. Sad for him that he didn't have it during his stay in Ust Natha, to be sure. |
| 56942 Ghaunadaur Priest |
| 56943 Ghaunadaur Priest |
| 56944 Sad? Why is that? |
| 56945 I know of this drow. An infamous mercenary, leader of the Bregan D'aerthe... a powerful rogue known throughout the Underdark. |
| 56946 Ghaundaur Priest |
| 56947 Jarlaxle? No, I don't think I've heard of him. |

| 56950 Overseer Handmaiden |
| 56951 Overseer Handmaiden |
| 56952 Drow |
| 56953 Aye, I've heard o' the black runt. A foppish mercenary, I hears, famous an' loaded with magic. 'Twould not stand up to me axe, I think, but he sounds fearsome enough. |
| 56954 No? That is rather odd. I thought all drow knew of the mercenary Jarlaxle. No matter, all that you need know is that he has many potent magics in his possession. |
| 56955 Or at least he *did*. This gilded rope once belonged to him, and from what I hear, he sorely missed it during his stay in Ust Natha. Sad, really, but it's not my fault. |
| 56956 Sad? What is sad about it? |
| 56957 As the story went, Jarlaxle came on a mission for House Jae'llat, helping in a war against House Gillish. 'Twas done in an orgy of blood to please even Lolth. |
| 56958 In the sacrifices that followed, though, the matron of Jae'llat refused to pay Jarlaxle, saying that the service rendered to the Spider Queen should be payment enough. |
| 56959 Ist'tar Jae'llat |
| 56960 According to the tales, Jarlaxle simply bowed and left even as the gathered House mocked him and spread the story of his foolishness. |
| 56962 Ist'tar Jae'llat |
| 56963 What does this have to do with the rope? |
| 56964 Jarlaxle enacted a plan of revenge... he planned on acquiring the wardstone that would allow him entrance into House Jae'llat so he could return their favor. |
| 56965 But the wardstone was held by the ancient founder of Ust Natha, Deirex, a powerful lich residing in the mage tower. The rope was to protect Jarlaxle from Deirex's magic. |
| 56966 I, ah, swapped the real rope with a fake, however. Jarlaxle's men were imprisoned by the lich, and the rogue was laughed out of the city for the failure. |
| 56967 This is the real rope, however... with it, you would be immune to Deirex's power and could loot the mage tower as you pleased! Consider the possibilities! |
| 56968 How do I know you aren't just trying to sell me some other fake rope? |
| 56969 And is Jarlaxle going to come looking for this item? |
| 56970 Interesting. How much are you asking for it? |
| 56971 No, I don't think I'm interested in your rope. |
| 56972 I assure you it is real. The dweomer is obvious: See how it glows! And to be honest, if the rogue ever attempts to regain it, I'd rather not have it on me. |
| 56973 So you think Jarlaxle might come looking for it? |
| 56974 Interesting. How much are you asking for it? |
| 56975 No, I don't think I'm interested in your rope. |
| 56976 One can never be sure. If he does, you seem more capable of dealing with him than I. Use it quickly and dispose of it, and he may never know. |
| 56977 Jae'llat Guard |
| 56978 Jae'llat Guard |
| 56979 How do I know you aren't just trying to sell me some other fake rope? |
| 56980 Interesting. How much are you asking for it? |
| 56981 No, I don't think I'm interested in your rope. |
| 56982 Deirex |
| 56983 Deirex |
| 56984 Not much at all. A mere 1,000 gold and it's yours, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 56985 That's a fair price. Here you go. |
| 56986 I'm afraid I don't have that much money. |
| 56987 Is there no way you could charge less for it? |
| 56988 There's the runaway. Thank you for keeping her from escaping! |
| 56990 Is there no way you could charge less for it? |
| 56991 No, I don't think I'm interested. |
| 56992 Excellent; that is a relief. You should be able to enter the mage tower and be safe, though I wouldn't attack Deirex if you can avoid it. Good luck, friend. |
| 56993 Jarlaxle |
| 56994 Jarlaxle |
| 56995 No? Hmmm... I had thought the favor of House Despana would have rewarded you better. Perhaps 750 gp, then? Can you afford that? |
| 56996 Yes, I can. Here you go. |
| 56997 No, I do not have that much either. |
| 56998 No... and I don't think I'm interested either. |
| 56999 Very well. 500 gp, my friend... but no lower. It is a steal at that price. |
| 57000 Very well. 750 gp, my friend... but no lower. |
| 57001 All right, I'll take it. Here you go. |
| 57002 I don't have that much coin, I'm afraid. |
| 57003 No, I don't think I'm interested anymore. |
| 57004 All right, I'll take it. |
| 57005 I'm afraid I don't have that much coin. |
| 57006 No, I don't think I'm interested anymore. |
| 57007 Ah, that is a shame. I shall find another buyer then. If you gather enough coin, do come back. If I still have the rope, I'll be happy to offer it to you. |
| 57008 You have returned, my friend! I still have the gilded rope, if you are interested in purchasing it. Have you changed your mind, perhaps? |
| 57009 Tell me what the rope does first. |
| 57010 Things go well on the surface. The temple of their false god has been defiled. |
| 57011 How much are you asking for it again? |
| 57012 I am pleased. My revenge will soon come. |
| 57013 How do I know you aren't selling me a fake? |
| 57014 We did not act for your benefit, Irenicus, though... you did offer some interesting opportunities. |
| 57015 I would like to know if Jarlaxle is going to come looking for this. |
| 57016 I've decided that if you don't hand over that rope right now, you're going to suffer immensely. Get the picture? |
| 57017 Yes, Matron Mother. Excuse my careless words. |
| 57018 No, I'm still not interested. |
| 57019 Our first prisoners arrive, Matron Mother. |
| 57020 These two rank high among the surface scum, Matron. What is to be their fate? |
| 57021 Their presence sickens me. Kill them. |
| 57022 Wh-what? You... you wouldn't *dare*! |
| 57023 Perhaps it would be better to interrogate them first. |
| 57024 I would. Now hand it over. |
| 57025 What are you going to do? Tell Jarlaxle? Hand it over. |
| 57026 Joneleth! What are you doing with these monsters?! You are one of |
| 57027 Maybe not. Forget I said anything. |
| 57028 An odd way to question, Irenicus. Did you not like his tone? |
| 57029 As you wish. I shall still be here for a while yet, my friend. |
| 57030 I... reconsidered, Matron. Your command was the wiser. |
| 57031 V-violence isn't... isn't necessary! If you want the rope so badly, then... then here! Take it! Just leave me be! May Lolth have your hide, cretin! |
| 57032 A bluff, then, is it? You are a fool to attempt such. If you wish to gain the rope from me, you shall have to pay for it like anyone else. |
| 57033 Actually, how about you hand over that rope, and I won't kill you... and we'll call it even? |
| 57034 Actually, how about you hand over that rope, and I won't kill you... and we'll call it even? |
| 57035 Actually, how about you hand over that rope, and I won't kill you... and we'll call it even? |
| 57036 Actually, how about you hand over that rope, and I won't kill you... and we'll call it even? |
| 57037 What?! You dare attack me in the market?! You DARE?! GUARDS! GUARDS! |
| 57038 Bah! I am to be disturbed by fleshlings, am I?! Pfeh... I shall place you somewhere where you can rot until the Handmaidens can deal with you! |

| 57062 Ah! It worked. I wasn't sure it would... these things have a way of never working out exactly as you plan. Thinking on the fly is an occupational hazard. |
| 57063 What didn't work?! Who are you?! |
| 57064 The one and the same. Charmed, I'm sure, pretty lady. |
| 57065 Hmmm... you must be Jarlaxle, then. How rare to meet one so infamous. |
| 57066 I see. You must be the rogue, Jarlaxle, that was mentioned to us, yes? |
| 57067 Then you... you must be that mercenary that the merchant told us about. You are Jarlaxle, aren't you? |
| 57068 Excuse my lapse of manners. I often tend to wax philosophical when I see my plans come to fruition. I am Jarlaxle, leader of the Bregan D'aerthe, at your service. |
| 57069 Jarlaxle? Then Visaj lied! The rope didn't work! |
| 57070 Jarlaxle? Then Visaj lied! The rope didn't work! |
| 57071 Lied? Now that is rather harsh language. Visaj... Visaj, are you about? |
| 57072 I am here, Commander, at your service. |
| 57073 Yes, I see that. Allow me to introduce my lieutenant, Visaj. Visaj, I am sure you are already familiar with Veldrin, yes? Tell me... did you lie to <PRO_HIMHER>? |
| 57074 I did not, Commander. |
| 57075 I didn't think so. Visaj said the rope would protect you from Deirex's imprisonment spell, and it did. You are here, not in some minuscule hellish sub-plane. |
| 57076 This is a pocket plane, headquarters of the Bregan D'aerthe, my mercenary band. I hoped the rope would bring you here, and I see that it has. Welcome, Veldrin. |
| 57077 Demilich Howl |
| 57078 You wanted me to come here? Why? |
| 57079 Why go through all the subterfuge just to bring me here? |
| 57080 You had better tell me what you want, and quickly, or things are going to get very bloody. |
| 57081 I wanted to see if you would actually attempt to face the lich. Call it a test of your courage, if you will. |
| 57082 With most of my men imprisoned by the lich, I've hardly anyone left to do what I require done... and I can't go asking just anybody, now, can I? |
| 57083 And just what do you require done? |
| 57084 I've no interest in working for you, Jarlaxle. You had better just send me back to Ust Natha. |
| 57085 I refuse to be manipulated! I'll do nothing for you... send me back or you'll regret being born, I swear! |
| 57086 Demilich Soul Trap |
| 57087 Now, now. This isn't how it's done. You listen to my offer and *then* you gesticulate helplessly. That is, before you agree to do as I ask. |
| 57088 After all, do *you* know how to use the rope and leave this sub-plane? But let's not get unpleasant... all I wish is a friendly chat. Then you may decide. |
| 57089 Fine. Be quick about it, then. |
| 57090 Well, you were about to deal with the lich anyway, before he cast you into the planes. I simply need you to acquire something that he has in his possession. |
| 57091 The wardstone for the House of Jae'llat? |
| 57092 No, no. Even I know when to give up on a plan. My men come first. The lich has numerous gems that contain the souls of my men, and I want them back. |
| 57093 Whether you kill the lich or not is up to you. Killing him would allow you to loot the tower, I suppose, but however you get those gems is of no concern to me. |
| 57094 Once you gather up the gems, I will use the rope to pull you back into the headquarters here. Easy enough, yes? You are ready to go then? |
| 57095 Release me! Destroy this body! |
| 57096 This interminable mockery must end! |
| 57097 If you must attack, do so with finality! |
| 57098 Release me from this physical form! |
| 57099 Let my spirit return to my home plane! |
| 57100 I will not be your practice dummy! |
| 57101 Destroy this form and free me, damn you! |
| 57102 Hahaha... Well done. |
| 57103 This is a talkative one. |
| 57104 It is a fine way to train. |
| 57105 I am through training. I am merely amused. |
| 57106 Do not forget to heal it. |
| 57107 Hahaha! |
| 57108 I wonder how long it will stand this. |
| 57109 Remember: no fatal damage. We do not want to free it. |
| 57110 Concentrate! |
| 57111 Do not let its words sway you. |
| 57112 We will maintain its physical form as long as needed. |
| 57113 Shut up, creature! |
| 57114 You will pass to your home plane when we say so, no sooner. |
| 57115 Do not torment me with your words, drow. You have no intent of releasing my spirit from this physical prison, I know. |
| 57116 Freedom! My form crumbles, my spirit free! |
| 57117 Do not disturb our lessons! Benefit can be had from these simple torments. |
| 57118 You dare! Foolish <PRO_MALEFEMALE>! Your clumsy attack has freed our target! What have you to say for yourself?! |
| 57119 Forgive me, mistress; it was a lapse in judgment. I meant no offense. |
| 57120 A simple accident. What benefit is there if I do not take advantage and experiment? |
| 57121 It was the foolishness of another that delivered the killing strike, not me alone. |
| 57122 And I would do it again! Your villainous torture had to be stopped! |
| 57123 What? What manner of drow are you that you speak to me in this manner?! You stand at death's door and dare to hurl such comments? |
| 57124 Your actions have been grave. You have destroyed a valuable asset of my House. What should be my response, hmm? Deadly force is fully warranted. |
| 57125 I think, perhaps, that compensation is necessary. I have no use for your head, but a sizable donation to the coffers of my House might appease me. |
| 57126 What say you, fool? Have you coin enough to satiate my bloodlust? I have the right to kill you where you stand. |
| 57127 This was not your property to take risks with. I have no objection to the occasional jab, but intentionally destructive behavior against my possessions? |
| 57128 What? I never said I would do this! |
| 57129 Wait a minute... what do I get out of all this? |
| 57130 You are quite presumptuous, fool! I would prefer to kill you than do any "task" for you! |
| 57131 Ahh, but these others are in my service, whereas you are not. Moreover, they measured their attacks carefully, as demonstrated by the weeks this has gone on before you arrived. |
| 57132 Oh, right. We're at the "gesticulating helplessly" part, aren't we? Visaj, I thought I told you to remind me when we arrived at this point. |
| 57133 I can stand it no more! You people are brutal and cold, and I am not one of you! |
| 57134 Forgive me, I intended no insult. I was merely fearful of what my stupidity had wrought. |
| 57135 I will not accept your petty blame. Get yourself another toy; I have broken this one. |
| 57136 My apologies, Commander. An oversight on my part. |
| 57137 You're forgiven. As for you, dear friends, I think you will *want* to do this. You wouldn't want your true identity revealed, would you... <CHARNAME>? |
| 57138 Ahhhh, there's no need for such a glare, <CHARNAME>. I am confident you will acquire the gems, and such action will be unnecessary. |
| 57139 And if you kill Deirex, you have access to his tower. You could even take the Jae'llat wardstone and pillage House Jae'llat if you wish. It's all good. |
| 57140 I just want to make sure that you find those gems in a timely manner. Hmmm... how long would you say would be fair, Visaj? An hour? |
| 57141 I should be glad you are not. You cry like a small child. "Oh, woe is me. I'm surrounded by the cruelties of life." You make me sick. |
| 57142 Perhaps a day, Commander. We are in no rush. |
| 57143 Attention! We have pretenders! Tender enemies of Lolth and all drowkind! Come, let us show them how harsh their existence can be! |
| 57144 Right. <CHARNAME> won't need it, but just to be sure. You have one day, <CHARNAME>, to get my gems. Make sure you hold on to the rope... you'll need it. |
| 57145 See you then. And, oh... give my warmest regards to the lich. |
| 57146 What?! You return?! Impossible! |
| 57147 Since you cannot be imprisoned properly, it seems I shall have to deal with you fleshlings once and for all. So be it! |
| 57148 And here you are, once again, with gems in hand! Really, <CHARNAME>, you have lived up to my expectations and then some! I'll take those gems, thank you. |
| 57149 I greet you. Do you enjoy watching the spiders feed? 'Tis one of the few pleasures of guard duty. |
| 57150 Ahhh, precious, aren't they? To think the Jae'llat have squirreled away such beauty for a millennium. What do you figure they'll get on the market, Visaj? |
| 57151 A considerable amount, Commander. There are more than a few nobles who would pay dearly for the opportunity to vex the Jae'llat, regardless of their worth. |
| 57152 True enough. I wish I could be there to see the matron mother's face when she finds out we got our payment anyway. |
| 57153 Wait a minute! I thought you said those gems contained the souls of your men! |
| 57154 But... but I thought you said the lich trapped the souls of your men in those gems? |
| 57155 Eh? What is this? Did yon blackbird not say earlier that the souls of his comrades were trapped in those baubles? |
| 57156 Wait a second! You... you said the souls of your men were trapped in those gems! I thought we were rescuing them! |
| 57157 It is a horrible way to die. |
| 57158 Would I risk my men against the lich? I just wanted the payment I was due, as well as collecting the price of the matron mother's insult to the Bregan D'aerthe. |
| 57159 It is quite entertaining. |
| 57160 I have not only collected the soul gems of the matron who founded the Jae'llat, but you killed their ally Deirex, a member of their own House. |
| 57161 I have collected for myself one of the most valuable possessions that the Jae'llat had... the soul gems of the matron who founded their clan. |
| 57162 This is murder! We must help these people! |
| 57163 I do enjoy seeing the children of Lolth feed. |
| 57164 I think matters between the Bregan D'aerthe and House Jae'llat are pretty much even now, wouldn't you agree, <CHARNAME>? |
| 57165 Hah! Horrible for them! What do we care? It isn't us. |
| 57166 Fine. You've gotten what you wanted. Now send us back. |
| 57167 We should help these people! |
| 57168 Very true. It is well to have a job with constant entertainment. |
| 57169 You used us to get your payment?! |
| 57170 But you and I are not even. I am not one of your lackeys, and I demand payment! |
| 57171 I'll kill you for trying to manipulate me! |
| 57172 Ah, you are a good sport, <CHARNAME>, for a surface <PRO_RACE>. I do not know what you are doing in Ust Natha, but I'll allow you your secret. Do as you wish, I care not. |
| 57173 I would like my rope back now, so I shall relieve you of it. A bit of gold, my friend, for your trouble. |
| 57174 As for what you choose to make of your encounter with me, that is up to you. You may choose to be bitter, or you can take advantage of your situation. |
| 57175 Deirex is dead. Loot his tower before the mages of Sorcere close it up with magic. You can use the Jae'llat wardstone to enter and loot their House as well. |
| 57176 If you do, I will ensure that the Jae'llat cannot alert the rest of the city. And if you kill the matron and ruin her House forever... it would serve her right. |
| 57177 Kill the lich and loot his tower before the Sorcere mages close it. Take the wardstone for the Jae'llat household... more riches await you there, if you attack. |

| 57181 Why not? Better you than me. In return, I'll let you keep your little secret, <PRO_RACE>. Prance amongst the drow as you wish; I care not. |
| 57182 But I am allowing you to keep your little secret, <PRO_RACE>. Is that worth nothing to you? Dance amongst the drow as long as you wish; I care not. |
| 57183 Such a temper, <CHARNAME>. It doesn't suit you. Here I am allowing you to keep your little secret, and you're blustering on with threats. Not good at all. |
| 57184 You do remember that my men are not imprisoned... we are able to protect ourselves from the likes of you. Do you truly wish to pursue this foolishness? |

| 57188 No. I'm afraid that you won't. Frustrating, isn't it? Best that you just forget about me, or you'll just end up getting apoplexy. |
| 57189 Time for you to return to Ust Natha, then. You've been quite a sport, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps we shall meet again. |

| 57194 Blast ye, drow! We shall catch up to ye eventually! We shall find ye, and I'll bloody split ye from end to end with a smile, I will! |
| 57195 To Ust Natha |
| 57196 You cannot do this to us! We shall find you and have our revenge for this, gnat! (A fireball down his throat... yesssss, or maybe two!) |

| 57218 Fine. Just get this over with, then! |
| 57219 No... perhaps not. |
| 57220 A shame. Your funeral. |
| 57221 A very intelligent move. I knew there had to be a reason you were still alive. |
| 57222 Indeed, indeed. Well, I must get back. Go well. |
| 57223 Hear me... hear my thoughts in your mind... I am ambassador... but I have a service I demand of you... one that you will perform discreetly and with haste. |
| 57224 Most powerful of drow, forgive my insolence in speaking before being told to do so, but I must beg your attention a moment. |
| 57225 What? You're not from around here, are you? These prisoners have been condemned. The children of Lolth will consume them. Interfere at your peril. |
| 57226 Begone, worm. I do not have time for your nonsense. |
| 57227 Make your case quickly, slave. I have little patience for your ilk. |
| 57228 What is it you wish? Are you being mistreated? |
| 57229 Nevertheless, I shall interfere. Release them or die. |
| 57230 Very well. I will let things progress as they must. |
| 57231 Fool! What sort of death wish is this? Raise the alarm! The city has been infiltrated! |
| 57232 Treachery! Raise the alarm! The children of Lolth are under attack! |
| 57233 What do you want? |
| 57234 What place is this? |
| 57235 This is a slaughter! We should help these people! |
| 57236 Nothing at present. |
| 57237 This is a place of sweet death. The condemned are consumed by Lolth's children. I must be about my duties. Please move along. |
| 57238 Clangeddin damn ye, drow! I'll not die simpering like a whipped dog! |
| 57239 Gods, how I be hatin' spiders! |
| 57240 Oh no, I am most happy in the employ of my master. I could not wish for better. No, my message is on his behalf. He would speak with you. |
| 57241 Help meeeeeee! |
| 57242 I beg that you come close to the tank that he might make contact with your mind. |
| 57243 The business my master proposes is not nonsense. His interests are of paramount importance, and I would beg of you that you not refuse what you have not yet heard. |
| 57244 I would not dream of bothering you with my own petty concerns, O great drow. No, it is the wishes of my master that you must hear, please. |
| 57245 Be standing back, drowling. Ship almost ready is... will not have dark hands of yours defiling it, will I. |
| 57246 Who are you? |
| 57247 What kind of ship is this? |
| 57248 Ready? What was wrong with it? |
| 57249 Fine, then, I'll be on my way. |
| 57250 Then seeing you leave, gladly am I. Be you gone, drow... having I here much to do yet. |
| 57252 Tank? What manner of creature is your master? |
| 57253 I have no time for this. Find someone else to do as you ask. |
| 57254 Very well, though I am not accustomed to speaking through glass. |
| 57255 Speaking you if to me, polite will you be, drow! Having no need I for your vile kind! |
| 57256 There is no one else that will do, honored drow. You have been singled out by the keen mind of my master. |
| 57257 I do not presume to know what he means, but he tells me that you will hear him and do as he says, or he will tell the city who you really are. |
| 57258 May I ask, then, who you might be, please? |
| 57259 Then may I ask you what kind of ship this is? |
| 57260 Could you please tell me, then, what was wrong with your ship that it should be here? |
| 57261 Please, I would not dare threaten the likes of you. No, it is my master that directs my words. You have heard what he intends. Please speak with him. |
| 57262 Forget it! I'm not bowing to a githyanki! I've had enough problems with your kind! |
| 57263 Then I'll just be on my way. |
| 57264 Then feeling better will you be, the farther away getting you are! Go and return not, black-minded one! |
| 57265 There is a powerful sense of danger around this door. The lock is of a strange design, and you're having trouble picking it due to the trembling in your fingers. |
| 57266 I do not appreciate the threat, but I will speak with this master of yours in the tank. |
| 57267 Ha! What can this beast in a tank do to me? I will not speak with him. |
| 57268 The words come from your mouth, not his. You dare threaten me?! You are dead! |
| 57269 I be of this ship the captain, drowling. Ahmaz, my name be, wanderer of the astral seas. Now be leaving, vile one, much there is to do for I. |
| 57270 Hmph. This ship on the astral seas does travel, between the thoughts of gods, and seldom to the Prime. But enough... begone, drowling. |
| 57271 Encountered we a vortex in the astral seas, and damaged we came limping to the Prime. Restored and sealed, the hull must be, before we can be leaving. |
| 57272 The tank is a hindrance that my master would rather do without, but it is more comfortable than the coldness of the stonework in the city. |
| 57273 But enough of questions from you, drowling. Much to do have I, and little time. Begone. |
| 57274 Having no interest in your tongued conversation have I, drowling. Stepping away from my ship will you be, before skinning you alive am I! |
| 57275 Please, I assure you that if my master wishes to expose some secret about you, he will. He can sense what is in you mind and can broadcast that to others. |
| 57276 Away with you, drowling. Disgusting me you are, and harming vibrations of my ship will you be. Away! |
| 57277 Haaaa... speaking you your tongues, if you must, speaking to our captain must you be. Dealing with you I will not. |
| 57278 Then I will do what I must to appease you, mistress. |
| 57279 You are welcome to try, but I'll wager it will be your corpse hitting the ground, not mine. |
| 57280 You have nothing. I serve Matron Ardulace of the House Despana! |
| 57281 I am but a sailor on the astral seas, faithful of the ethereal winds, drowling. City here is but a port for our battered ship. Leaving soon are we, surely. |
| 57282 I beg you, speak with him. My life is worthless, but think of yourselves. Drow life is sacred and far more worthy of survival than I. |
| 57283 Leaving me alone you will, drow. We githyanki be here only because having no choice, us, with damaged ship. |
| 57284 Get out of my sight. I am quite done with you. |
| 57285 You insult me, you stand indignantly before me, and you expect to walk away! I demand compensation for your actions! I demand it! |
| 57286 What manner of drow am I? I serve Matron Ardulace of the House Despana! |

| 57290 I greet you, <MALEFEMALE>, in the name of the Spider Queen and all the glory that is Ust Natha, the First City. Would you care to take a look at the wares I have available? |
| 57291 What wares are you talking about? |
| 57292 Sure... what do you have? |
| 57293 No, I'm not interested. |
| 57294 The beasts caged behind me, of course. They are ensorceled to obey commands for a short time. Amusing as pets, although they won't follow for long, I'm afraid. |
| 57295 Trademeet Market |
| 57296 Very well, I will speak with this master in the tank. |
| 57297 I will not bow down to the requests of a fish in a tank! |
| 57298 Intruders in the home of the mistress! Kill them! |
| 57299 A few of the fighting sisters have been buying my stock for target practice. It happens to be a good living. Are you interested, perhaps? |
| 57300 Come close to him, and he will speak to your mind. It is the way of his kind. Please do not tarry. He will announce an alarm to the city if you keep him waiting. |
| 57301 As you should. I expect a sizable donation to my house. I demand... oh... 4,000 gold pieces. That should suffice. |
| 57302 What creatures do you have available? |
| 57303 4,000! very well, but you are an absolute slave driver. |
| 57304 I cannot afford that right now. |
| 57305 I have a replacement for your amusement. I purchased it just recently. |
| 57306 You will have nothing from me. I serve Matron Ardulace of the House Despana! |
| 57307 Errr... no, I don't think so. |
| 57308 As you wish, <MALEFEMALE>. Another time, perhaps. |
| 57309 Hmm, I still have a strong gnoll, captured leading a group of its fellows on the surface. Tortured and then sold to me, but it is healthy. 500 gp for that one. |
| 57311 All right then. You're a good customer and a successful adventurer. Would you rather see my secret stock of items? For only 50 gold, I'll show you the wares. |
| 57312 Let's see... I still have one of the regenerating trolls left. A patrol party captured it not far from the city. Stupid beast, but strong. 750 gp for that one, if you wish it. |
| 57313 Of the House... Despana. I see. Do not think yourself free of all responsibility. That House is strong, but no stronger than mine! |
| 57314 Visaj |
| 57315 Visaj |
| 57316 Sure, show me your "special" wares. |
| 57317 Sorry, I'm only interested in your usual items. |
| 57318 Take a look at some of these items. You won't be disappointed. |
| 57319 Okay, but if you ever change your mind, you know where to come. |
| 57320 Mmm, I have a spirit troll. I do not know much about it; a warrior sold it to me two months ago. Difficult to feed, but it certainly is powerful. 1,000 gp. |
| 57321 Ah, yes... I have one of the umber hulks left still. The sisters love those ones. Difficult to kill, I understand. I charge 1,500 gp for that one. |
| 57322 I will appease you as best I can. It was merely my fear that made me obstinate. |
| 57323 Then I see no other recourse but violence! As you wish! |
| 57324 You demand nothing. I serve Matron Ardulace of the House Despana! |
| 57325 That's it, actually, at the moment. Care to make a purchase, then? |
| 57326 You still owe me. I demand compensation. Another plaything or the sum of 2,000 gold. That or you die. |
| 57327 Sure... what do you have? |
| 57328 Sure... what do you have? |
| 57329 Sure... what do you have? |
| 57330 What creatures do you have available? |
| 57331 What creatures do you have available? |
| 57332 What creatures do you have available? |
| 57333 I will buy the gnoll. Here's the 500 gp. |
| 57334 I will buy the troll. Here's the 750 gp. |
| 57335 I will buy the spirit troll. Here's the 1,000 gp. |
| 57336 I will buy the umber hulk. Here's the 1,500 gp. |
| 57337 No, I don't think so. |
| 57338 Let me release it then. Do as you wish, but you are responsible for it from this point, <MALEFEMALE>, so do not endanger others. My thanks for your patronage. |
| 57339 Let me release it then. Do as you wish, but you are responsible for it from this point, <MALEFEMALE>, so do not endanger others. My thanks for your patronage. |
| 57340 Let me release it then. Do as you wish, but you are responsible for it from this point, <MALEFEMALE>, so do not endanger others. My thanks for your patronage. |
| 57341 Let me release it then. Do as you wish, but you are responsible for it from this point, <MALEFEMALE>, so do not endanger others. My thanks for your patronage. |
| 57342 I have no more creatures to sell at the moment, <MALEFEMALE>. You shall have to wait until some more are captured by our patrols. Lolth's favor to you. |
| 57343 The family trade has little to do with this. Go, I am done with you. |
| 57344 2,000! Very well, but you are an absolute slave driver. |
| 57345 I cannot afford that right now. |
| 57346 I have a replacement for your amusement. I purchased it just recently. |
| 57347 That will suffice. Now get out of my sight. |
| 57348 Perhaps you could... Very well, I give you a day to retrieve me another creature. Beyond that, I organize a citywide hunt for your head. |
| 57349 I see. Are you asking for time? That is the only concession I will yield to you. Return to this place when you have collected the proper amount. |
| 57350 The ship lurches, and the ongoing battle is soon the least of your worries. The entire vessel quickly lists to one side as the cargo below decks violently shifts. There is no chance to make for a lifeboat, and you are thrown overboard, left gasping for air in an undertow you cannot escape. Pressure builds, and you are pulled deep, and you wonder if your last sight will be the disappearing Saemon Havarian, fleeing through some magical means, saving his own skin as always. |
| 57351 For better or worse, the Pirate Lord has declared you worthy of confinement in Spellhold. The fact that you requested to go probably played a factor in his decision, and as you near the institution in shackles, you understand why. The cliff-bound complex appears deathly cold, not at all like a place of healing. The cells within prove no less desolate; what else but madness would bring you here? |
| 57352 The Unholy Reaver: Ir'revrykal This dark, two-handed sword radiates evil from a distance. The weapon is not just unholy, but unearthly as well. Long thought to be just a myth, the blade's infamy pervades the accounts of learned bards and ancient sages. According to these accounts, the githyanki wizard-smith Ir'mlar forged the blade many centuries ago in dark caverns deep beneath Tu'narath. This githyanki city floats in the Astral Plane upon the petrified corpse of a dead god known only as "the One in the Void." To craft the sword, Ir'mlar allegedly used the One's own bones, which consist of a metallic substance unknown on the Prime Material Plane. The smith then imbued the weapon with a fiendish entity whom some seers claim was a mighty prince of the lower plane of Carceri. Others claim the sword contains the One in the Void's own spirit, banished within the blade for crimes committed against other gods in past ages. In any case, Ir'revrykal possesses such an enmity against good that only blackguards committed to evil may wield it. Circular runes etched on the blade proclaim its name in ancient tir'su, the githyanki language. The runes translate roughly as "Pain-Servant."

| 57357 Do not bother me. I must concentrate on the lessons of the overseer. |
| 57358 You may wish to tempt the wrath of my overseer, but I do not. Leave me be. |
| 57359 Go away. You will cause no end of trouble if you incite the anger of my overseer. |
| 57360 The business of my House does not concern you. Go. |
| 57361 Then my master is sorry, but you are... oh my... you are no drow! The alarm is sounded! You are no drow! |
| 57362 My master will speak for himself if you approach the tank. I am merely his servant. |
| 57363 Why would I stoop to working for you, fish? |
| 57364 Hmm... I am not sure I approve of your presence in my mind. |
| 57365 What kind of creature are you that can step through my thoughts so easily? |
| 57366 You will stoop... if I so command... SURFACER! I can see it in your thoughts... clearly! Do you wish this secret announced? To the mind of every drow within the city? |
| 57367 No, I did not think that you would. You will do as I ask, and you will walk away free. I care not why you are here. The concerns of your kind are worthless. |
| 57368 Your approval is irrelevant. Your thoughts are transparent, SURFACER! Yes, I see what you are. I see what you hide from the others. |
| 57369 I am superior. That is all you need know, SURFACER! Yes, I see what you are. It is printed across your transparent mind. |
| 57370 If you hope for some reward from the Handmaidens, <CHARNAME>, you are sorely mistaken. Matron Ardulace will get all credit... she is your sponsor here, after all. |
| 57371 You will do the task I set before you, or your identity will appear in the mind of every drow within this city. Are my thoughts clear? Good. |
| 57372 The wardstone glows briefly and disappears. You enter the momentary break in the wards. |
| 57373 I ask of you... I command a deed of violence. I call for a death that I might learn more of this place. It is simple, brutal, and more suited to you than my petty servant here. |
| 57374 As short as the lives of these people were to be, it would be a poor thing to subject them to such an end. Let them go... even that is better than what you contemplate. |
| 57375 No, <CHARNAME>! That's a horrible thought! Send... send them away, even. Just don't send them there! |
| 57376 Qilue... a priestess... I would learn of her faith and the power it grants. Her mind is the prize, and I would have you bring it! |
| 57377 Of course <PRO_HESHE> will not do this. Take your people and go, as you can. Your freedom may be short, but it is in your hands. May Torm travel with you. |
| 57378 There is no way for me to drag a drow priestess to you. Everyone will see! |
| 57379 Kidnap a priestess? She will not cooperate. |
| 57380 I can do this, but how would I prevent her from raising an alarm? |
| 57381 I do not require her as a whole. As I said, it is her mind that I require. Kill her. Slay her in her home and temple. Retrieve her brain, and bring it to me. |
| 57382 No... <PRO_HESHE> will not do that. Go to the gates... tell them you are on an errand for Veldrin. At least this way you will have a chance. I shall pray for your success. |
| 57383 That is the task. That is the command I give. You will obey, or I reveal you, and you die. That is your choice. |
| 57384 You don't leave much room to maneuver, do you? Very well, I will do as you say. |
| 57385 I will... I will do this monstrous act, but not without protest. |
| 57387 So you contend to hold me in service against my will, to perform this evil task? |
| 57388 Protest is irrelevant. You will do, and that is enough. If you fail, you will be exposed. Success or death. |
| 57389 Hmph, better to throw coins in the sea. It would prove as effective as the money you've spent here. (Ten gold say don't make it ten feet past the gate...) |
| 57390 Qilue makes her home behind the second door from the bottom in the Female Fighters' Society. Attack quickly and none will sense the deed. Return swiftly, I demand. |
| 57391 I wish I could go with them and try to lead them to the surface... but I suppose there's little point. And there's still much to do here that is more important. *sigh* |
| 57392 You do not obey, you do not live out the day. Hear me, great drow of Ust Natha. Hear the warning! Surfacers! Know them! Kill them! |
| 57393 Hear my will... You return. Let me see your thoughts... Let me see what you have accomplished... |
| 57394 She yet lives! You have done nothing! Continue in the task, or you will be exposed to all! Speak of this to anyone, you will be exposed! |
| 57395 She is dead... but you do not possess her brain. I must have the flesh of her mind! Carve it out! Bring it! Bring! |
| 57396 A poor thing, <CHARNAME>. We could have done better by these people with minimal effort. It is a better fate than what the drow had in store, however. |
| 57397 Yes... yes you have the flesh of her mind with you... I will have it... I will consume it! |
| 57398 Ummm... I suppose this is better than what the drow were going to do to them. Not by much, though, it couldn't be. |
| 57399 Thoughts enter my mind... I see their ways more clearly... I see the faith... yes... this will be most useful... |
| 57400 I assume we are through? I wish to leave your presence with all haste, creature. |
| 57401 Well, now that you're happy, how about a reward? |
| 57402 I will take my leave. Know that you have not earned an ally in me. |
| 57403 Go, you are freed and dismissed. Your secret is your reward. I leave you to your petty concerns. Speak not of me... or you will be exposed to all... |
| 57404 Reward... your secret kept is your reward... ask no more of me, or you are revealed to all. Speak to no one of me, or you are revealed! |
| 57405 I dismiss you... leave, before I reconsider my generosity... you serve well, but now you are useless... go! |
| 57406 Your thoughts are of no interest to me, surfacer. The topmost layer reveals enough to me... I need look no deeper. |
| 57407 A rival House? Or assassins? No matter! |
| 57408 Die, one and all! |
| 57409 The door is magically warded. To step through it would mean instant death. You'll need to find a wardstone if you wish to enter. |
| 57410 You there! Worthless <PRO_MALEFEMALE>! Lolth demands a service of you! |
| 57411 We have just crushed a sect of blasphemous Ghaunadaur worshippers, but they have fled and now hold themselves against our vengeance. |
| 57412 You will proceed to the southeastern corner of the city and eradicate them. We will allow no such heathen gods in the sight of Lolth's children! |
| 57413 Yes, mistress! Immediately! |
| 57414 I'm rather busy at the moment. |
| 57415 Will there be a reward? |
| 57416 You will speak when asked to speak! Now go, and perform the will of Lolth! She demands! |
| 57417 You there! Lolth has spoken her divine will through me, and yet you delay and tarry! |
| 57418 I have not yet had time to follow your instructions. |
| 57419 I require a guarantee of compensation before I do so. |
| 57420 My apologies! I will go immediately! |
| 57421 Do not make me approach you again on this subject! If the followers of Ghaunadaur live another day, you will join them in their fate! |
| 57422 Your words are not to be heard; your concerns are to be cast aside! When a servant of Lolth demands a service, you comply with all haste! |
| 57423 The lich's tooth lowers all of the magical wards. You may enter the room. |
| 57424 The way is blocked by powerful and bizarre wards. You shall have to find some way to deactivate them if you wish to enter. |
| 57425 You have disobeyed a direct command by a servant of Lolth! You have been given a chance to prove yourself loyal, and you have failed! |
| 57426 I call upon all those that claim faithful reverence of the Spider Queen! Dispatch these foolsâ€â€they are not of Lolth's faithful! |
| 57427 You have performed the will of Lolth and are worthy of another day of life. You are blessed in your continued existence. |
| 57428 It was an honor to serve. Thank you. |
| 57429 And what of my reward? I have done all I could. |
| 57430 Good, now will you please leave me alone? |
| 57431 Do not presume to speak to me. Lolth calls upon you regardless of your honor! Go, you are of no more use for now. |
| 57432 Your reward is your life! Do not presume to make demands of the Spider Queen! She will use you as she sees fit! Go, you are dismissed. |
| 57433 You will be called upon whenever the Spider Queen wishes! Do not think that your concerns are worthy of consideration. Go, you are of no more use... for now. |
| 57434 For the Lord of Slime, we shall follow or fall! |
| 57435 LEVEL DRAINED |
| 57436 Greetings to you, <MALEFEMALE>. You like the look of my ship? A fine astral vessel. Been working the flows since I hijacked this rig in Krynnspace twenty years ago. |
| 57437 Just came back from raiding a gnomish sloop myself. Fair booty, although the ship took more damage than expected. Ah, after some repairs, she'll be fine. |
| 57438 You the adventuring sort, <MALEFEMALE>? If you're still in Ust Natha in a month or so, maybe you'll join up? Because of those infernal gnomes, I could use the extra crew. |
| 57439 Think about it anyway. Next trip is out to Colia, and it's quite a sight. |
| 57440 I do a lot of my sailing underground; it is a surprisingly advantageous to fly at an eye tyrant silently from above. A glorious battle to honor Lolth, that is. |
| 57441 Have you ever seen Toril from the skies? Many drow don't agree, but the view is superb. It took years to adjust... Now the Underdark feels alien at times. |
| 57442 Had a run-in with the Imperial Elven Fleet once. Blasted man-of-war chased me for a week through the Greyflow before we lost it, Lolth be praised. |
| 57443 Hah! Met a Shou dragonship last year. Fools had never seen drowâ€â€thought we were surface elves! Taught them a lesson... not that they lived to benefit, of course. |
| 57444 Three quick runs to Anadia and I swear you'll have halfling slaves to feed driders for a century. The Spider Queen visited me herself once... I kid you not. |
| 57445 Excuse me if I seem edgy; the Handmaidens are suspicious because I'm used to the surface. The Underdark isn't my home as much as Realmspace is, you see. |
| 57446 Time to get back to work on the ship. Materials are rare and fuel even more so. The life of a Spelljammer is never easy... hah... especially for a drow. |
| 57447 I greet you, <MALEFEMALE>, by the Dark Mother and the pleasure her children are entitled to. Here we breathe spices of luxury and enjoy the fruits of our conquests. |
| 57448 I have been trained in the temples to master the arts of oiled massage and other exotic pleasures, both to repair the aura and calm the soul. |
| 57449 It is a lengthy process, but a night under my care is worth a fortnight of rest in the finest boudoir... if one has the time for such a diversion, of course. |
| 57450 I could use that kind of rest. What do I need to do? |
| 57451 I might be interested in such a night, male. Show me your skills. |
| 57452 I could use that kind of rest. What do I need to do? |
| 57453 I might be interested in such a night, male. Show me your skills. |
| 57454 I don't think I'd be interested in anything like that. |
| 57455 No. "Veldrin" would not be interested in such diversions, male. I... as a female, I command you to stand away from him. Slug. |
| 57456 As you wish. The lust chambers are available to all who wish them, and all is permissible in the greater name of the Dark Mother here. |
| 57457 Well... Veldrin doesn't need that... that kind of relaxation. Go away. |
| 57458 Away with you, scoundrel! Veldrin needs no such attentions from any base creature such as yourself! |
| 57459 There are cushions aplenty here, <MALEFEMALE>. Sit and relax yourself... any friends you have can similarly be seated. I concentrate my arts on you alone, however. Come... |
| 57460 I am here to revel, <MALEFEMALE>, and I am here to relax. Neither of these include you. Begone. |
| 57461 My most recent male has already left the chambers, and I am not prepared for another partner. Allow me time to rest. |
| 57462 I shall use a male as I wish. It is my inherent right as a daughter of the Spider Queen. I have no interest in you, however... so begone. |
| 57463 Find another, <MALEFEMALE>. My pleasures tonight do not include you. |
| 57464 How dare you enter my home! You shall die for your impertinence! Suffer! |
| 57465 I welcome you to the lust chambers, male. I do so adore the presence of new blood... especially in such a handsome form, and with such battle prowess, I hear. |
| 57466 The rope seems to nullify the wards. You may enter if you wish. |
| 57467 You come from Ched Nasad. I have heard that the Nasadrans are stuffy and conservative. I am intrigued to see if this matter is the truth or not. |
| 57468 Qilue's Brain |
| 57469 Qilue's Brain |
| 57470 Come, male. I demand that you please me. I have fought long in the Society for Lolth's valor, and I am in need of a reprieve for a night. |
| 57471 I think I could handle that. |
| 57472 Though you are, ah, beautiful... I am not interested. Sorry. |
| 57473 No! I have no interested in such as you! Do not disgust me! |
| 57474 You had better. Come with me, then. If you have companions, let them laze about in luxury while I teach you what it means to be a handsome male in Ust Natha... |
| 57475 Bah! The Nasadrans are as insipid and flaccid as I had suspected. Begone with you, then, spineless worm. What you are doing in the lust chambers is beyond my comprehension. |
| 57476 You dare?! Were this any place other than the lust chambers, I would have your flesh flayed from your bones for such an insult! Pray our paths do not cross again, worm! |
| 57477 Hmmmn... no. I look for a male to please me, but you hold no interest to my eyes. Move along. |
| 57478 The rope no longer seems to deactivate the wards. It looks as if Jarlaxle has tired of waiting for you. |
| 57479 Stand away from me, female. I look for a competent male to please me this night, and I'll not have you crowding my space. Begone! |
| 57480 I think I could handle that. |
| 57481 Though you are, ah, beautiful... I am not interested. Sorry. |
| 57482 No! I have no interest in such as you! Do not disgust me! |
| 57483 Taso Kala |
| 57484 Taso Kala |
| 57485 You... you have freed us, stranger. Thank Ilmater! You cannot imagine what a horror it was, nightmare after nightmare without the ability to awaken! |
| 57486 Thank you, dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>, thank you! My... my name is Camaris Highcastle of... of Myratma. If only there were some way to properly repay you! |
| 57487 For starters, tell me how you ended up here. |
| 57488 I am unsure. We were part of an expedition to find adventure in the Underdark. Hah! This was... hardly what we were expecting, you can be certain. |
| 57489 We set out from Myratma and had been in the Underdark for a week, maybe more. I heard a noise, and then everything went gray and blurry. |
| 57490 The mind flayers must have surprised us. Next thing I remember, we were hooked to these machines. It was strange... you could see everything and... be aware... but not quite. |
| 57491 They somehow used our minds to power those machines over there. It makes necklaces... circlets rather... which the mind flayers use to control their slaves. |
| 57492 If you were captured too, I... I can only imagine the next batch of circlets would have been meant for you. Good thing you escaped when you did. |
| 57493 Do you think these circlets would work on the illithids? Do you know how to work the machine? |
| 57494 I... I suppose they might. There's no reason they wouldn't. As for the machine, it's fairly simple, but I don't think it's fully charged. You could only make a few. |
| 57495 I suppose I must ask you, stranger... do you plan on escaping? Have you a means of leaving this city? |
| 57496 Not yet, but I intend to escape here, yes. |
| 57497 Yes, of course. What do you think, that I'm taking up residence? |
| 57498 I have a plan. We'll see if I can execute it or not. |
| 57499 I'm leaving eventually, but I've no intention of taking you with me. |
| 57500 Well, if you find a way out or stop the mind flayers somehow, we can leave the city on our own. There is a cache of equipment I know of if we locate our old path. |
| 57501 I can lead my people to the surface again, but you would have to find us a way out. No offense, friend, but I don't think we could face those mind flayers ourselves. |
| 57502 We will wait here until we can leave. We will pray for you, friend... I only hope that our ordeal is finally over. |
| 57503 A loathsome fishlike creature floats within the tank. Long leathery tentacles grow from its head, and the smell of rancid grease hangs about the tank. For the moment, the creature is motionless, as if sleeping. |
| 57504 I will have my people remain here and keep quiet. Please, find us a way out! I think the machine in this room can be used to create control circlets. They might help you. |
| 57505 Thank you, friend, I think we can find our way to the surface now. If... if we encounter each other on the surface... I owe you more than I can ever repay. |
| 57506 Good luck in the Underdark if you intend to remain. I will pray for your success and safety. Come, my friends... let us leave this hellish place once and for all... |
| 57507 I... please, I can't... I can't face one of those creatures... |
| 57508 I hope we will be able to find our way out of these caverns. I cannot wait to see the sun again! |
| 57509 We cannot thank you enough for releasing us! They... they would have used our minds until we were... husks... *shiver* |
| 57510 Have you come seeking wisdom from the Binder of What is Known? The Wise God stands ready. |
| 57511 No, thank you, I have no need of help at the moment. |
| 57512 A friend is afflicted by vampirism. An old book suggested that followers of Oghma might know something about that. |
| 57513 Blessed be the gifts of knowledge. |
| 57514 I fear I have no knowledge of the subject, though I did once glance through a text on the subject. It was quite ancient. |
| 57515 Tracking Irenicus Bodhi and Irenicus did pass through the Underdark. They may have been dealing with the drow to secure passage. |
| 57516 Master Whip |
| 57517 Master Whip |
| 57518 A mage imprisoned? A duergar in the Underdark said a mage was trapped by the imprisonment spell in a battle. He wanted to unearth a treasure trove or artifact of some kind, but was attacked. The duergar said it occurred in a cavern north of him. A freedom spell or scroll cast within the Underdark caverns would likely free the mage. |

| 57533 A mage's proposal I released Vithal from magical imprisonment. He was trying to find a secret treasure trove in another dimension. I have to find his book of rituals, which he thinks was taken by svirfneblin. The dark gnome village is to the north. |
| 57534 A mage's proposal I have returned Vithal's book of rituals. He is ready to attempt opening gates to other planes in search of some valuable items. I will dispatch any guardians that might appear. |
| 57535 A mage's proposal I helped Vithal retrieve some valuable magic items from another plane. I received my fair share in the end. |
| 57536 A mage's proposal I helped Vithal retrieve the items he sought. He tried to give me a small portion, but I demanded more. In the end, I got what I deserved. |

| 57549 Victims of imprisonment? I rescued a man from a strange trap, a crystal that imprisons people within. He was quite mad and was probably conscious during his stay in the enchantment. He must have been there quite some time. |
| 57550 Victims of imprisonment? I freed a madman trapped in a crystal I found. He was blithering incoherently and set about attacking me. I do not know if his mind might have been healed. He gave me little chance to find out. |
| 57551 Victims of imprisonment I restored the mind of a man trapped in the crystal I found. He was quite grateful, though he could offer no insight as to why he was trapped there in the first place. |
| 57552 Victims of imprisonment I restored the mind of a man I released from the crystal I found. He proved no more reasonable though, and would not pay me my due. I convinced him otherwise. |
| 57553 Victims of imprisonment I freed a githyanki from a strange crystal I found, but it barely bothered with a few words before attacking. It seemed to want to make up for being imprisoned by battling whomever it could find. If there're any more creatures in this crystal, I hope they are more reasonable. |
| 57554 Victims of imprisonment A lich?! I will have to be on my guard if I dare to release any more beings from the crystal. |
| 57555 Victims of imprisonment I freed a person from a crystal I found. His mind was sound, and he did not wish to fight. He said that he was with another adventuring group and that he must have been imprisoned battling a group of drow. He did not know where they went, and he has now set off to find his lost comrades. He offered a little knowledge of the area, saying that a group of kuo-toa were guarding a bridge to the east and that there was a drow city to the north. |

| 57558 Victims of imprisonment: Svirfneblin son I located the son of Therndle Daglefodd. He had somehow angered a group of drow and had been imprisoned in the crystal that I had found. He has gone back to his village to tell his father of his rescue. |
| 57559 Victims of imprisonment: Bedlen Daglefodd? I located a svirfneblin child that had somehow angered a group of drow and been imprisoned in the crystal that I had found. He has gone back to his village to tell his father of his rescue and has told me to do the same. |

| 57563 Svirfneblin son missing I have spoken with Therndle Daglefodd, a shopkeep in the svirfneblin city. Apparently, his child, Bedlen Daglefodd, has been missing for some days now. It might be worth it to keep an eye open for the boy, though there are no clues as to where he might be. |

I had forgotten that I was not under the drow-form illusion when I rescued the boy. Now, with a drow face, Therndle does not trust me. Perhaps I can return when I am no longer under the effects of the spell. |
| 57567 Victims of imprisonment: Svirfneblin son I went to Therndle Daglefodd to tell him of how I rescued his child, but he would not believe me! I had forgotten that I was under the drow-form illusion when I rescued the boy. Now, with my normal face, Therndle does not believe me. He might have trusted me if he had thought more of me, but I fear he had a poor reaction to my story. |
| 57568 Victims of imprisonment: Svirfneblin son I went to Therndle Daglefodd to tell him of how I rescued his child, and he almost didn't believe me. I forgot that I was under the drow-form illusion when I rescued the boy. Now, with my normal face, I proved quite puzzling. Fortunately, Therndle reacted well, and he believed me in the end. |
| 57569 Victims of imprisonment: Svirfneblin son I went to Therndle Daglefodd to tell him of how I rescued his child, and he was quite amazed. I was still under the drow-form illusion, and he was astounded that drow would come to his aid. He was most generous with his reward. |
| 57570 Victims of imprisonment: Svirfneblin son I went to Therndle Daglefodd to tell him of how I rescued his child, and he was surprised that surfacers would come to his aid. He was most generous with his reward. |

| 57580 Victims of imprisonment: Svirfneblin son I broke the news to Therndle Daglefodd about his son. I told him that I found his body in the tunnels, though I conveniently left out the part where I killed him. Tragic, just tragic. Therndle was glad to know the fate of his boy. It's so sad, it just chokes me up. |

| 57589 This machine hums from the energy coursing through it. As you run your fingers across its smooth surface, an electrical tingle runs through your body. |

| 57593 When you examine this strange device, you notice that it seems to be pumping some sort of liquid into the veins of the unconscious surface-worlders. Looking more closely, you see that there is a tube where you could put more fluid. |
| 57594 This is a heavy, metallic liquid that rolls into beads when spilled out onto the palm of your hand. Whenever the flask containing the oil is opened, a sickly, rotten-egg smell almost overwhelms you. While disgusting, the odor alone serves to heighten your senses. STATISTICS: Weight: 4 |

| 57597 Hmmmhahaha... there you are. Yes, you are the one, aren't you? You are the one he wants. |
| 57598 Have we met before? |
| 57599 What are you talking about? I don't like your tone. |
| 57600 Move aside, fool. I have no business with you. |
| 57601 Ah yes, the tone is as described. You are <CHARNAME>, aren't you? <CHARNAME> of Baldur's Gate whose father is Gorion. |
| 57602 Yes, now you look with more interest at me. Well, it will not last. I have but one reason for being here; you will not survive my deadly intent. |
| 57603 All right, I'm listening. Who sent you? What do you want? |
| 57604 I am at a disadvantage. You know me, but I do not know you. |
| 57605 You do not scare me. I have no reason to fear some fool stranger. |
| 57606 I will answer your threat! Who sent you?! Tell me or I make your death unpleasant! |
| 57607 Oh, I am no one to you. You have no reason to know me, no reason to believe what I say, but I don't care. |
| 57608 No one sent me, but I am here because of someone and their interest in you. I owe that someone a debt, and I will pay it through you. |
| 57609 Control Circlet |
| 57610 So you seek to capture me for someone else? Perhaps I can make a counteroffer. |
| 57611 I will kill you and your mystery master. You will not take me! |
| 57612 Your master does not have the wherewithal to attack me on his own? |
| 57613 Capture? Noooo, that's not what I intend. And neither will this aid someone else. In fact, this will severely hamper his goals. |
| 57614 Take you? That is not the goal. I have no master, and this will not be beneficial to anyone except myself. |
| 57615 I have no master, and the one I owe does not know of my plan. No, this will not benefit him in the least. |
| 57616 You, <CHARNAME>, are of great interest. By killing you, I will severely hurt the one I hate. It is my revenge for his... for his treatment! |
| 57617 He came to my home, where I was healing, where my mind could rest. He disrupted the place, subjected us to his will, and now he waits for his plans to be complete. |
| 57618 He is Irenicus, you are his quarry, and I am the avenger that will destroy his plans by destroying you! |
| 57619 Wait, wait, wait! You are an enemy of Irenicus? I seek him as well! |
| 57620 I don't understand. I seek Irenicus for my own revenge. Why target me? |
| 57621 You speak in mad riddles, fool! Twice you've threatened. Just bring it on! |

| 57625 Wounded Elf |
| 57626 And by your death shall the mad be avenged! I have walked the path from Spellhold dreaming of this moment! The plans of the torturer will fail as you die! |
| 57627 Captain Aduo'on |
| 57628 Captain Aduo'on |
| 57629 Do not confuse me! You are in league with him! You must be! He tortures in preparation for you! You are his excuse! His plans center on you, and for that, you will die! |
| 57630 Your pour the fluid into the machine. Almost immediately, you notice the liquid being pumped into the surface-worlders' blood change color. A few minutes later, you notice that the change has occurred in all the machines across the room. |
| 57631 If you wanted, you could pour the illithid serum that you obtained from the previous room into the tubes of this machine. |
| 57632 He tortures you? Where is he that he could get away with this? |
| 57633 I tell you that I am as much his enemy as you are. |
| 57634 His plans have earned him a painful death as soon as I get my hands on him. |
| 57635 No, you are twisting what I know... I am not so ill that I cannot understand this! He plans for you, and you are valuable to him. This makes you my enemy! |
| 57636 I am... I don't understand... He must pay for what he has done, what he continues to do! You are the means for that payment! |
| 57637 Dammit! What do you know of him?! I will have his head if you just tell me where he is! |
| 57638 You make no sense! I would be your ally! Are you mad? |
| 57639 You are not the same evil that he is! But if you are not in league, why does he need...? This does not make sense! This does not make SENSE! |
| 57641 The death of one slave causes the entire city to shake, disrupting the machine and destroying the rest of the slaves. |
| 57642 That's it! If you intend to attack, then do so! I will listen to no more of your raving! |
| 57643 Dammit! What do you know of him?! I will have his head if you just tell me where he is! |
| 57644 You make no sense! I would be your ally! Are you mad? |
| 57645 No, these must be lies! They must be! I may be mad, but I will not believe lies! You are in league! You are in league! |
| 57647 You don't look well, <CHARNAME>. The chaos of our situation is probably to blame, though everyone else seems to be wearing it well. |
| 57648 Well, they haven't had their soul ripped from them, have they? |
| 57649 Thank you for your concern, Haer'Dalis, but I am fine. |
| 57650 Chaos? Yes, that would describe the feeling in my head and stomach. |
| 57651 No, I suppose not. I will leave you to your wincing, <CHARNAME>. Do indicate if you need assistance. |
| 57652 I am sure that you think you are, but manipulations of the soul can have strange affects. I would be careful, <CHARNAME>; you may not be quite the person you thought you were. |
| 57653 I would imagine so. You have had a rather interesting manipulation cast upon you. I would be wary of any changes in your health. |
| 57654 Are you well, <CHARNAME>? Oh, would that I had a proper healing touch. I would see to your illness immediately if I did. |
| 57655 Yes, well, if you develop any useful skills, I will be sure to call you. Leave me. |
| 57656 Worry not. I will be fine in a moment. |
| 57657 I thank you for your concern, but I don't think this odd feeling is immediately curable. |
| 57658 There's no need for that. I will direct my efforts elsewhere if that is your wish. Wince all you like; I will look the other way... unless you think it's serious. |
| 57659 Yes, your recuperative powers are great, although a crisis of the spirit is harder to deal with. Take care, <CHARNAME>; we must watch for any side effects. |
| 57660 More's the reason to keep an eye on it. We do not know the effects that the ritual will have on you. Be careful, <CHARNAME>, and watch your health closely. |
| 57661 Do you require a moment to rest? Do not hesitate to ask for a shoulder to lean on. |
| 57662 I am fine. Save your efforts for those "poor people" you are so fond of coddling. |
| 57663 Your support is welcome, but I think I can manage. The feeling has passed. |
| 57664 I don't know. It was the strangest thing. I didn't feel like myself at all. |
| 57665 Well, serves me right for asking. I'll reserve my talents for those that deserve my help. Hmph! |
| 57666 Let me know if it continues. We should be extra gentle with you until we know the full extent of what that ritual did to you. |
| 57667 I'll make sure I watch your back for the next little while. Who knows what that ritual did to you? I've never seen anything like it. |
| 57668 The look on your face reminds me of a cousin I had on the coast by the name of Milton Bottlesworth, who used to make a "Shining Sea Ale" that would set your riptide to undertow, if you know what I mean. One night, he made a particularly strong batch of brew that, for reasons that will become clear in a moment, he was destined to call "Old One-Eye, '43." I tell you, he got so involved in the tasting that he fell into the keg up to his ankles the wrong way around and had to breathe through the spigot for three hours lest he drown in a watery tomb of his own making. Helpful Aunt Tildeberry came in later for a late night snifter and tried to unclog the spout with a hairpin, and you can imagine the fuss that emerged from that mess. An inch or two off target and the mixture would have been the much less ominous "Poke in the Nose, '43," but that's neither here nor there. |
| 57669 Are you sure you want to permanently remove this entry from your journal? |
| 57670 So anyway, what I mean to say is that you look like you've spent a night upside down in a barrel of hooch thinking at least it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, only to have life cruelly prove you right. |
| 57671 Ye're a bit pale in the face, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps someone else should take the lead from ye. Perhaps me. |
| 57672 Thanks for your concern, Korgan, but I'll manage just fine. |
| 57673 Fine, you stand up front the next time someone needs their soul sucked out. |
| 57674 I will be continuing just fine. Get thee behind me, as they say. |
| 57675 Aye, have it your way then. I'll be watching you though, in case you weaken any more. No telling what that ritual did to you. |
| 57676 Ahh, perhaps ye're best in the lead after all. These is your enemies, really. Besides, better that I back you up in case you weaken further. |
| 57677 Yes, yes, I'm sure you'll manage. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you feel weak though. I got a right to know if you can't handle it. |
| 57678 <CHARNAME>, do you require the healing light of Torm? You seem ill at ease. |
| 57679 I do not think my injury is physical, Keldorn, but thank you regardless. |
| 57680 Save it, Keldorn. Your faith and light cannot help me now. |
| 57681 I will be all right in a moment. Save your talents for later. We will surely need them. |
| 57682 I will maintain watch if you need to rest. Such a spiritual injury may have unforeseen effects. Take great care in the coming hours. |
| 57683 Such a pessimistic attitude will only reinforce whatever damage the ritual has done to you. Keep a brave face, <CHARNAME>. You are not beaten yet. |
| 57684 Very well, though I worry for your health. There is no telling what effects such a catastrophic amputation will have. |
| 57685 When you touch the machine, it hums louder for a brief moment. Then, a golden circlet materializes in your hand. |
| 57686 You've committed a vile crime against nature! I NEVER asked for such a base act! The druids might have been friends, but never again! |
| 57687 You are not well, <CHARNAME>. We should take time to rest here. |
| 57688 No, Valygar, there is no time. I will be fine. It was just... a strange feeling. |
| 57689 Perhaps. I just felt really... strange. Like I wasn't in control for a moment there. |
| 57690 I will rest when I decide it is best to do so! Leave me be! |
| 57691 Begone from my sight before I have you arrested! You are no longer welcome here! |
| 57692 It looked to be strange. Really, <CHARNAME>, we should proceed slowly. The unnatural magics you have been subjected to could have unforeseen effects. |
| 57693 I said you were unwelcome here, <CHARNAME>, and I meant it. Do not test my patience further. |
| 57694 The ritual is adding to the stress that this place naturally has. Once we are safe, you should rest. There is no telling what they did to you. |
| 57695 I fear your manner is a side effect of the spell cast upon you, though I still have trouble accepting your words. I will leave you to your suffering. |
| 57696 Oh wonderful, now you are weakening in this darkest of moments! I knew I should have partnered with stronger party members. |
| 57697 Lord Logan is still quite angry over your poisoning of the grove... as are many others. We merchants see the necessity, however. But the reward is all I can offer you. |
| 57698 Thank you for your concern, but I am not dead yet. Just... feeling strange. |
| 57699 Shut up! I will rest if I need to, and I don't need you chattering in the background. |
| 57700 And I should have a mage who is less of a snob, but this is no time for name-calling. |
| 57701 I suppose having your soul ripped out will do that, but it's no excuse. We need to at least get me to safety. Then you can rest. |
| 57702 *mutter* Should have left the lot of you when we were in Athkatla. Instead, I'm in an asylum with a soul-tearing lunatic and his vampire-on-a-leash. |
| 57703 Rip <PRO_HISHER> soul out, and <PRO_HESHE>'s still quick with the insults. (Strong and resolute, but still a monkey.) |
| 57704 Okay, I'll put up with incompetence, insults, and all manner of foolishness, but I have to draw the line at transformations into dead gods of murder! |
| 57705 If you don't mind, I'm having a bit of a crisis here! |
| 57706 That was me? I felt like I was watching it all from above... |
| 57707 Lord of Murder... It was so powerful... |
| 57708 I don't blame you, manifesting Bhaal and all. I wouldn't get used to that. You'll probably lose your mind to the void long before you can control it. |
| 57709 That's just a guess on my part, but accessing the avatar of a dead god cannot be good. Seems like having your soul taken has resulted in more than anyone could see. |
| 57710 I'll be keeping an eye on you, <CHARNAME>. Best that you keep an eye on yourself as well. |
| 57711 No, you were right here in the middle of it. You'll forgive me if I don't enjoy having the very essence of death in the party. Probably lose your mind to it, too. |
| 57712 I would not get used to it. As powerful as you think you might be, you'll probably lose your mind along with your stolen soul. |
| 57713 <CHARNAME>! You... what you became... I could feel the fear to my very core! |
| 57714 <CHARNAME>, you just manifested the Lord of Murder... We... we must get your soul back! If this happens much more, you may lose all control! |
| 57715 <CHARNAME>! If I did not know you, I would be drawing my sword even now! That was the avatar of Bhaal, Lord of Murder! |
| 57716 By taking your soul, Irenicus has left you open to possession by the energies of a dead god! Not since the Time of Troubles have I felt such evil. |
| 57717 Do not succumb again. Your mortal being will fade in the wake of such evil power. I will be forced to end your suffering if you... lose yourself. |
| 57718 What in blazes?! <CHARNAME>! You are some kind of powerful freak, to be sure! Seen a picture in a temple once of that beastie. You became the Lord o' Murder. |
| 57719 As much as I like having powerful friends, I don't want to be around when you lose your mind to such power. |
| 57720 Steel yourself against the urge to succumb again. I'll put a dagger in yer neck before I get caught in the wake of that beastie. |
| 57721 By the gods of turnip growers everywhere, it's just like my Aunt Agnes used to tell me to get me to sleep at night. "Close your eyes," she'd say, "or the gods'll come and box yer ears!" Well, perhaps it wasn't the lullaby that your average child would have preferred, but old Agnes was funny that way. |
| 57722 <CHARNAME>, I have to be serious a moment. That weren't good, no <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Manifesting dead gods is a sure sign of trouble, as sure as I know how to read. |
| 57723 I've heard of people losing their minds even glimpsing an avatar. You channeling power like that? Well, it just isn't good. |
| 57724 <CHARNAME>, that cannot be good. I have never seen such... |
| 57725 Aunty used to tell me stories of the gods, what she learned while in school in Calimshan. She would talk about many things that scared me, but nothing like this. |
| 57726 <CHARNAME>, I would be screaming in fear if I did not know you well. We must retrieve your soul before... before you lose yourself to this... |
| 57727 By all the gods! I may not be a paladin, but I've studied enough to know what's evil and what's not! That was... the avatar of Bhaal? |
| 57728 You became the essence of Bhaal! An avatar of murder! <CHARNAME>, such power is not meant for mortals! |
| 57729 If we don't restore you... I don't know what will happen. If this possesses you often... you'll be lost to it. |
| 57730 Well... |
| 57731 Reminds me of home... |
| 57732 The bad parts... <CHARNAME>, have you done this befo... No, no, I don't suppose you have. |
| 57733 You have channeled the power of a dead god through you and maintained enough will to tell about it. Count your blessings. |
| 57734 If this happens much more, you will cease to be yourself. It's just a theory of mine, but one you should be wary of. But besides the danger, this has been a wonderfully chaotic show. |
| 57735 I would make a comment about balance, but that would imply that I thought there was the possibility of balance existing. <CHARNAME>, you are in trouble. |
| 57736 Shadow Fiend |
| 57737 You have channeled a massive amount of energy from a divine source and probably lost some of yourself in the process. |
| 57738 Shadow Fiend |
| 57739 If it happens much more, there is more than just physical risk. You will lose yourself. A being cannot be this... out of alignment for long. |
| 57740 When all others stand numb, it falls to Minsc and Boo to make comment. <CHARNAME>... |
| 57741 <CHARNAME>, Boo just soiled my backpack. |
| 57742 What audacity, <CHARNAME>! You continue to surprise me. |
| 57743 But it ends here. Irenicus must not be disturbed during his ritual. |
| 57744 What ritual? What is he planning now? |
| 57745 You cannot stop me, slave. Your master does not realize what power I wield. |
| 57746 What does is matter, <CHARNAME>? You'll soon be dead! |
| 57747 His curse is lifted. You are nothing next to Irenicus. He need not even be bothered, for I shall kill you myself. |
| 57748 Oh dear... |
| 57749 Illusion Dispelled |
| 57750 At last! Guard duty grows tedious. Let's get down to killing you. |
| 57751 G-greetings, strangers, I hope that you are here to help in our hour of need... it is all I can do to keep these poor people from dying. These creatures must be stopped! |
| 57752 I was wondering, have you seen high priestess of Rillifane, Demin? She left us to go amongst the creatures and find the relics from the temple... I worry for her! |
| 57753 I have seen her, yes. She is dead, unfortunately. |
| 57754 I have spoken to her, yes. She is fine at the moment. |
| 57755 I have not seen her, no. |
| 57756 D-dead? Ahhhh, the Exile will have much to answer for! Too many of my people are murdered by his foul hate, too many! |
| 57757 We cannot get inside the palace, so we have been forced to hole up here. If you have the chance, find the relics from the temple and summon Rillifane's avatar! |
| 57758 Only the avatar will be able to do something about all these terrible monsters the Exile has unleashed upon us! And only he will be able to open the palace gates. |
| 57759 Oh, I suppose I should be official about this... uh... You there! All citizens must stay indoors under threat of death. |
| 57760 What relics are you talking about? How do I summon this avatar? |
| 57761 Svirfneblin village I met the leader of the guards for a small village of svirfneblin. He advised that I may pass through as I wish, so long as I speak with their leader first. |
| 57762 Why don't you do this yourself? |
| 57763 My only intention is to find this Exile of yours and deal with him. |
| 57764 Yes, yes, I've heard all of this. |
| 57765 Then she has told you about the relics, I hope! The avatar must be summoned if the palace is to be opened and these creatures stopped! Please... I beg of you, help us! |
| 57766 You must find her! She hoped to collect the relics to summon the avatar of Rillifane. Only he can stop these fiends and open the palace gates! Please... I beg you! |
| 57767 Svirfneblin village concerns I spoke with Goldander Blackenrock, lord of the svirfneblin village. He said I might enter the drow city by enlisting the aid of Adalon, a powerful creature that holds court at the base of the great staircase. Goldander has asked that I first perform a service for his village, defeating a creature that they had unearthed in a lower cavern, and he has offered to grant me access to Adalon as a reward. He will give me a glow stone so that I can pass through the darkness that protects her lair, but only once the strange beast that threatens them is destroyed and the cavern is collapsed with a stoneshape scroll. |
| 57768 Svirfneblin village concerns I spoke with Goldander Blackenrock, lord of the svirfneblin village. His pompous title revealed the shallow nature of his needs. He spoke of a means that I might enter the drow city: by enlisting the aid of Adalon, a powerful creature that holds court at the base of the great staircase. Goldander wanted me to first perform a service for his village, defeating some creature that they had unearthed, and he offered to grant me access to Adalon as a reward, giving me a glow stone or some such so that I could pass through the darkness that protects her lair. I cut out the middleman and killed the lot of them. |
| 57769 I can only offer you a bit of my own healing magic as assistance, if you like. Do you... do you need healing, my friend? |
| 57770 Not myself, no... but one of my companions needs help. |
| 57771 Certainly... any healing you could offer me would be appreciated. |
| 57772 The high priestess is being punished for her part in our master's curse. You shall be slain for even thinking to approach her house. |
| 57773 Keep your foul magics away from me, elf! |
| 57774 No, thank you. |
| 57775 Then have them come and speak to me, and I shall use what spells I have remaining to help them. |
| 57776 Of course. Allow me to touch you, valiant one, and I shall mend what wounds you have. |
| 57777 As you wish. I must remain here to aid the helpless... please help however you can! |
| 57778 I am afraid I have no magic left with which to aid you, stranger. I must keep what I have in reserve for the ailing folk of the city. Please... help us however you can. |
| 57779 Svirfneblin village concerns Goldander Blackenrock was thrilled that I killed the beast that had been threatening his village, but he reminded me that I must also collapse the cavern it is in with the stoneshape scroll he gave me. |
| 57780 There are three holy relics that the creatures took. If you find them in the city and bring them to the temple, place them on the statue to summon Rillifane's avatar! |
| 57781 This is the only way to open the palace and deal with these creatures! Please... if you can do this, you must! The lives of so many are at stake! |
| 57782 I cannot! I must remain here and help the people as I can! Demin left to collect the relics, and she is missing... I cannot abandon these people to risk the same fate! |
| 57783 Tell me what relics you are talking about, then. How do I summon this avatar? |
| 57784 Well, all I want is to get inside the palace and deal with the Exile. |
| 57785 I'll be on my way, then. |
| 57786 Then you must still get inside the palace, which has been sealed with strong magic by the Exile. We have tried and tried to break the seal, but it is impossible! |
| 57787 Go if you must, then... but help us if you can! |
| 57788 I would prefer to know how to get inside the palace. |
| 57789 Bless you, stranger! The avatar has released the guardian spirits! The city is saved, and the palace opened for you... Go and help our queenâ€â€the Exile holds her within! |
| 57790 I... I barely made it to the gates here, my friend. I was part of the small garrison that remained after the army left to combat the dark ones... |
| 57791 We saw the Exile fly in astride a terrible black dragon... Its acid breath rained down even as elementals, golems, and demons appeared inside the walls! |
| 57792 I fought... as long as I could... against a creature made of fire. I was forced to retreat here with many others. You must stop them! Save my people! |
| 57793 Please... help my people. We are being slaughtered by the Exile's dark magics, and we cannot fight against it! Please! |
| 57794 Thank Rillifane... you have summoned the old guardians to help us. We are saved! Saved! |
| 57795 *groan* Ahhh... the... the black dragon! It's... it's a black dragon! R-run! *moan* |
| 57796 There's a... *moan*... a creature made of sand. It... it swallowed her inside itself... I saw it... |
| 57798 Quickly! It's coming! |
| 57799 D-dark magic... illusions... creatures everywhere! H-help us... |
| 57800 *sob* I... I saw my child... eaten... by one of the creatures! R-rillifane, Leaflord, save us! |
| 57801 *groan* So... so many killed! Slaughtered! Creatures... creatures with heads like tigers, eating flesh... horrible! |
| 57802 The Exile be cursed! The gods smile not upon us! |
| 57803 Death! |
| 57804 Children of the Tree, go in peace! |
| 57805 Greetings, stranger. You have fought your way through the city, haven't you? How is it that you came here? I thought the Exile had hidden the city from all view. |
| 57806 I am here with Elhan... he is evacuating people at the city gates. |
| 57807 Elhan? Good to know, but I cannot take all these wounded to the gates... We are safe for the moment. These creatures must be stopped soon, or we are all doomed! |
| 57808 Rillifane be praised! |
| 57809 Do you know where the Exile is? |
| 57810 What happened here? |
| 57811 I'll be on my way. |
| 57812 We all saw the Exile arrive on a black dragon. The dragon landed outside the city, to the northwest... but we were too busy fighting golems to notice much else. |
| 57813 Last we heard, the Exile entered the palace and sealed the gate. Nothing can break through. Queen Ellesime is within, as is the Tree of Life... no doubt his target. |
| 57814 What happened here, then? |
| 57815 I'll be on my way. |
| 57816 We retreated here when it was obvious we couldn't stand against the Exile's creatures. Many of us died... Now all we can hope is that the army gets through. |
| 57817 Elven Spirit |
| 57818 Do you know where the Exile is? |

| 57820 I'll be on my way. |
| 57821 As you wish, stranger. If you can help us out in any way, you or Elhan, I hope that you do it quickly. I have no idea how much longer we can hold out here. |
| 57822 I don't have time to talk, stranger. Too much to do here. If you can help, do it quickly before the entire city falls to that foul Exile. |
| 57823 The old guardians! Raised up against the creatures the Exile brought with him! A... a magnificent sight! Well done! Well done! |
| 57824 No! No, go away! You... you're just another illusion, trying to trick me! I won't open the gate, I won't! |
| 57825 I was sent here by Elhan... I'm no illusion. |
| 57826 Until Lord Logan grants permission to enter, the door to this cell will not be unbarred. |
| 57827 All of the illusions have been of horrible creatures... I am not a creature of any sort. Why would they create an illusion like me? |
| 57828 Illusions exist through belief. Stop believing in them, and they no longer exist. You can try the same with me, but I assure you I am quite real. |
| 57829 You're just going to have to trust me, friend. I'm here to help, not to fight. |
| 57830 You're just going to have to trust me, friend. I'm here to help, not to fight. |
| 57831 Open the gate or you're going to have a lot more than illusions to worry about, bucko! |
| 57832 I can't think of any way to convince you otherwise. Forget it, then. |
| 57833 El-elhan? Oh, but... no! No, I don't believe it! You're just trying to trick me, aren't you?! I won't open it, I won't! |
| 57834 Look. Elhan is at the gate, and I'm here to find Irenicus. I've done nothing but fight illusions and monsters here, so your fear is understandable... just open the gate, please. |

| 57836 All of the illusions have been of horrible creatures... I am not a creature of any sort. Why would they create an illusion like me? |
| 57837 Illusions exist through belief. Stop believing in them, and they no longer exist. You can try the same with me, but I assure you I am quite real. |
| 57838 You're just going to have to trust me, friend. I'm here to help, not to fight. |
| 57839 You're just going to have to trust me, friend. I'm here to help, not to fight. |
| 57840 Open the gate or you're going to have a lot more than illusions to worry about, bucko! |
| 57841 I can't think of any way to convince you otherwise. Forget it, then. |
| 57842 Svirfneblin village concerns Goldander was quite relieved that the creature would no longer be bothering his village. He reaffirmed his gratitude by giving me a magic item as reward, as well as the gem that would allow me to enter the lair of Adalon. |
| 57843 Svirfneblin village concerns Goldander was quite relieved that the creature would no longer be bothering his village, and he reaffirmed his gratitude by giving me a magic item as reward. He was, however, a little concerned that I had already pickpocketed the light gem that he had intended to give me. Oh well, as long as I got it. |
| 57844 I... I... I suppose you're right. You... you aren't like the other monsters. It's just... Oh, never mind. Let me open up the gate for you... |
| 57845 I... I've heard that, but... ahhh, you are real, aren't you? The illusions just... Oh, never mind. I'll... open the gate for you... |
| 57846 Then... then... then I suppose I'll have to trust you. You don't... you don't seem like the other illusions. But I'm watching you! |
| 57847 Then... then... no, no! No, the illusions are always trying to get into the gate! Go away! I won't do it no matter what! |
| 57848 Forget it! You can't threaten me, illusion! You won't win! Not you or any of the foul magics the Exile brought with him! Away, away! |
| 57849 Hah! You won't win! Not you or any of your foul magics! Away with you, illusion, away! |
| 57850 I... I suppose... I suppose so. We... we've just been attacked so much, and the illusions have been... Oh, never mind. Let me open the gate for you... |
| 57851 A mage's proposal I located the svirfneblin innkeeper that took Vithal's book of rituals. I had to pay a 300 gold finder's fee. |
| 57852 I... I've had to be very careful with the gate. So many of the illusions have been tricky, trying to get in here. So many elves have died, I... I... |
| 57853 The... the old guardians have come! We are saved! You... Oh, let me open the gate for you! One moment! |
| 57854 A mage's proposal I located the svirfneblin innkeeper that took Vithal's book of rituals. He wants a 300 gold finder's fee. I have refused to pay for now. |
| 57855 We are saved! What... what a relief! Thank you, stranger! |
| 57856 A mage's proposal I located the svirfneblin innkeeper that took Vithal's book of rituals. I approached him while under Adalon's drow-form illusion, and he gave the book with no questions asked. The drow are certainly feared here. |
| 57857 ** THE EXILE BLOCKS YOUR WAY, SEALING THE GATES TO THE GREAT PALACE. I SHALL UNSEAL THEM. ... IT IS DONE. ** |
| 57858 But Irenicus has sealed |
| 57859 Captured by mind flayers! It would appear that I am not the only one that has been captured and forced to fight. There is a group of githyanki here as well, the same group that attacked Saemon Havarian's ship. I hope they prove friendlier now that we are in the same predicament. Their hatred of illithids may make them willing to help us both escape. |
| 57860 Captured by mind flayers! The githyanki leader, Simyaz, has proposed a plan. His men will use their abilities to try and block the mental energy of the mind flayers in the arena. If they can be disrupted, I will be able to open the arena door and escape into the illithid city proper. From there, I'm not sure. I don't know if I can trust Simyaz, but I have little choice. |
| 57861 As soon as you touch the first nut, a shock runs through your hand, and all of the nuts fall to your feet. |
| 57862 You gather all of the nuts. There seems to be two distinct types: a smaller nut that does not open no matter how hard you pry, and a larger one that opens to allow access to the edible nut within. |
| 57863 Captured by mind flayers! I could trust the githyanki, but only to a point. Simyaz and his group are leaving me to fend for myself, and I will have to find my own means of escape. Lacking the teleportation abilities of the githyanki, I could not follow when they left and must now face the wrath of the illithid city on my own. |
| 57864 Captured by mind flayers! I could trust the githyanki, but only to a point. Simyaz and his group are leaving me to fend for myself, and I will have to find my own means of escape. They left after again chastising me for the theft of their Silver Sword, the weapon I got from Saemon Havarian. Lacking the teleportation abilities of the githyanki, I could not follow when they left and must now face the wrath of the illithid city on my own. |
| 57865 The tree bears no more fruit. |
| 57866 Captured by mind flayers I met the githyanki again. I found them resting in a cavern, quite surprised to see that I had lived through the illithid city. I registered my displeasure by making them pay for their treachery with blood. |
| 57867 The Stone Harp fits perfectly into the statue's hands. Again, it begins to move. Smiling in contentment, the statue plays a quiet melody on the Harp. The music sends shivers down your spine, though you know not why. |
| 57868 Captured by mind flayers I met the githyanki again. I found them resting in a cavern, quite surprised to see that I had lived through the illithid city. They were still going on about the silver sword that was apparently stolen from them. They were satisfied with nothing less than blood no matter what I said. |
| 57869 The statue continues to play the eerily beautiful music but otherwise does not react to your presence. |
| 57870 You fit the horn to the statue's lips, and its hands rise to steady the instrument. It blows a clear powerful note on the horn and falls silent. |
| 57871 The statue moves no more. |
| 57872 The ground shakes, and the water that pours through the living walls slows to a trickle. The pool begins to drain. |
| 57873 Many, many pretties... piled high beyond the sky. *sigh* |
| 57874 Many, many pretties... piled high beyond the sky. *sigh* |
| 57875 Many, many pretties... piled high beyond the sky. *sigh* |

| 57877 Many, many pretties... piled high beyond the sky. *sigh* |
| 57878 Escape! Escape I will! No kennel will hold what is not doggy! |
| 57879 Freedom! Freed... Bloody hell! |
| 57880 We are thoroughly done with <CHARNAME> and company. If you have further concerns, I suggest that you keep them to yourself. |
| 57881 Very good. Her home is to the southwest. I shall see you at the ship. Remember, all must happen after dark, but quickly. The Pirate Lord is not the only threat that haunts us. |
| 57882 You seem agitated. Is there something that you are not telling me? |
| 57883 Coward. Fearful that you might have to use that sword you've gone on about? |
| 57884 You have not stopped looking over your shoulder since we left Spellhold. |
| 57885 I have left out nothing save the tales of my formative years or other such babble. No, I have not left you in the dark at all. |
| 57886 Not at all, although the blade is a reminder of what Irenicus intended... for you and me both. |
| 57887 Perhaps not, but it is better to be alert to threats from absurd places than caught unawares. |
| 57888 I admit to being somewhat uneasy. Perhaps it is this blade. Yes, that's it. The weapon that Irenicus gave me, it reminds too much of what has occurred. |
| 57889 Yes, that is it. I am beset by grief because of the treachery this blade represents. It is powerful, I am sure, but perhaps I would be better if I shed it. |
| 57890 What I mean to say is that the Pirate Lord will not arrive in time to stop us. That is whom I meant, in no uncertain terms. Hurry, we must away! |
| 57891 As much as I do not want to give it up, I have possessed this blade too long. It is yours, to cement our friendship. Payment for a battle well fought and for many more to come! |
| 57892 As much as I do not want to give it up, I have possessed this blade too long. It is yours, to cement our friendship. Payment for a battle well fought and for many more to come! |
| 57893 Kuo-toan Captain |
| 57894 Captured by mind flayers! I have slain the githyanki prisoners. Now I can focus my attention on escaping this foul prison. I need to find some way to force open the door out of the arena. |
| 57895 Kuo-toan Bolt |
| 57897 This slender bolt is coated with a special poison developed by kuo-toan alchemists. A target hit by this bolt must make a Saving Throw vs. Spell or be stunned for 4 rounds. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – Hit target must save vs. Spell or be stunned for 4 rounds Damage: 2d6 (missile) Launcher: Crossbow Weight: 0 |
| 57898 One of the smaller nuts on your pack begins to grow and extend. Surprised, you place it on the branch at your feet. It grows and twists at an alarming rate, soon melding with the Tree of Life. The Tree grows to form a path to the far branch. You may now pass. |
| 57899 The branch goes no further, and your progress is blocked. The Tree of Life seethes with energy, but something holds it back from growing. Perhaps something can be done to extend the branch and allow you to cross. |
| 57900 This deal just gets better and better. We march to our doom while they stay here. |
| 57901 Boo does not favor the odds, but I have no doubt we will succeed! |
| 57902 This is a great evil we go to fight. I, for one, do not appreciate fighting battles for those that should stand for themselves. |
| 57903 Yes, declare your loyalty, Viconia. When you eventually betray us, I will hold your statement up as proof of the untrustworthy nature of your kind. |
| 57904 And if you believe that, you'll believe anything. |
| 57905 Boo would have sensed any treachery long ago! She fights well with us! |
| 57906 Viconia has proven remarkably balanced for one so steeped in a culture of evil. I doubt we will have to worry about any treachery towards the group. |
| 57908 Stone Harp |
| 57909 Stone Harp |
| 57910 Stone Horn |
| 57911 Cernd, I would normally bow to your wisdom, but in this matter, I think you are... mistaken. I make no protest; I merely wish to state my opinion. |
| 57912 Stone Horn |
| 57913 The parasite is dead and is no longer a threat to the Tree of Life. |
| 57914 The elven city requires my aid Elhan has requested my service none too subtly. To reach Irenicus, I must first help the elves gain entry to their own city, Suldanessellar. Irenicus has hidden it using illusion magics of some sort that defy dispelling. If we are to regain access, I have to retrieve the Rhynn Lanthorn, an artifact lantern that is attuned to the elven nation. Elhan believes that someone powerful that follows Irenicus stole it from the desecrated elven temple, and I have a very clear idea just who that might be. I will not receive help from the elves in tracking her, even though I am certain I am familiar with her old stomping ground. Elhan has advised that he cannot follow with his battalions for risk of causing an even larger incident, this time with paranoid human forces. He suggested that I seek out allies among the groups I have already met within human territories. |
| 57915 This parasite, this *thing*, is like nothing you have ever seen before. Four snakelike appendages protrude from its swollen body and have driven themselves through the branch of the Tree. The parasite is sucking the very life out of the Tree. You can attack it if you wish. |
| 57916 A friend is afflicted by vampirism. An old book suggested that followers of Oghma might know something about that. |
| 57917 Hmmm. We have archived books on many subjects. I doubt I could give you specifics... Wait... I do recall a text that dealt with that particular problem... |
| 57918 Paralytic Bolt |
| 57919 Any target hit by this bolt must make a Saving Throw or be paralyzed for 5 rounds. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – Hit target must save vs. Paralyzation or be stunned for 5 rounds Damage: 1d10 (missile) Launcher: Crossbow Weight: 1 |

| 57922 A friend is afflicted by vampirism. An old book suggested that followers of Oghma might know something about that. |
| 57923 At the first sign of hostility, the parasite swells with energy and summons guardians. |
| 57924 While the guardians yet live, the parasite cannot be harmed. |
| 57925 With its defenses down, the parasite is easily dispatched. |
| 57926 Food! Irenicus has sent lunch at last. It is well. I grow tired of this, treasure or no. Nizidramanii'yt is no pathetic soldier to stand guard over a tarnished cup. |
| 57927 Nizidramanii'yt |
| 57928 You have the Goblet of Life? Give it to me, and I shall leave you in peace. |
| 57929 Nizidramanii'yt |
| 57930 Why do you do the bidding of this wizard? Surely a great and *powerful* dragon could not be subservient to a mere elf? |
| 57931 I am <GABBER>, and I have no quarrel with you, culinary or otherwise. I just need the Goblet of Life. |
| 57932 Evil wyrm! You shall slay no more innocents in this city! Die! |
| 57933 Why do you do the bidding of this wizard? Surely a great and *powerful* dragon could not be subservient to a mere elf? |
| 57934 Idiot! Food does not make demands of Nizidramanii'yt! The task is beneath my dignity, but I will not be derelict in protecting the Goblet. The reward is too great! |
| 57935 Whatever Irenicus is paying you, I will pay more! |
| 57936 Then die, wyrm! I will take the Goblet! |
| 57938 Why do you do the bidding of this wizard? Surely a great and *powerful* dragon could not be subservient to a mere elf? |
| 57939 Why do you do the bidding of this wizard? Surely a great and *powerful* dragon could not be subservient to a mere elf? |
| 57940 The elven city requires my aid I must also find three pieces of the Lanthorn, individual panes of glass that focus its energy. Elhan says that his sages have divined clues as to where they are. I will detail them individually. |
| 57941 Joneleth, the one you call Irenicus, he... is drawing power from the Tree of Life into himself. There are... parasites on the Tree draining it for him... |
| 57942 Excellent! I do so enjoy it when they struggle! |
| 57943 Parasites? What manner of creatures are these? |
| 57944 The elven city requires my aid I must also find a separate piece of the Lanthorn, an individual pane of glass that focuses the energy of the complete lantern. Elhan says that his sages have divined clues as to where it might be. I will detail it separately to keep my instruction clear. |
| 57945 How dare you! Nizidramanii'yt is no slave! The wizard offers much treasure for easy work. I should kill you slowly, but you are not worth it. You are food! Cattle! |
| 57946 The elven city requires my aid "A pane of elven origin is held amidst the servants of nature, in the grasp of the beasts that die to the fire." |
| 57947 I meant no offense; you are no servant! How dare Irenicus think that you will do his bidding like some mewling lackey! |
| 57948 The elven city requires my aid "Beneath the streets in a human city, within the kingdom of the blind, the beast does not see what it has even now." |
| 57949 The elven city requires my aid "Long hidden with a family's past, abandoned unintentionally with the sealing of the horrors below. Unearthed by invaders of troll and digger, they know not what they have." |
| 57950 The elven city requires my aid "In the lair of a crimson wyrm, but not a trinket in the hoard, a liar points the way to treasure, though she knows not the one she holds." |
| 57951 The elven city requires my aid "A traitor among the thieves, he seeks the height of leadership within a guild anew, not knowing the prize he holds." |
| 57952 The elven city requires my aid "Jailor of the tiefling, he knows not what he has. On the path of minstrels and troubadours lies a prize within the altar." |
| 57953 Hah! What backwoods adventurer have you been listening to? What comes next? You try to convince me to turn against Irenicus by soothing my ego?! |
| 57954 The elven city requires my aid "In the talons of a beast of shadow, amidst the ruins of light near witches and hills. The pane is a curiosity, but he knows its power not." |
| 57955 No, of course not! I would never think to match wits with one as wise as you! |
| 57956 Fine. I suppose we shall have to do this the old-fashioned way. Die, wyrm! |
| 57957 Oh, shut up! Your presumption sickens me! |
| 57958 The elven city requires my aid The Rhynn Lanthorn will now guide us into Suldanessellar. The majority of Elhan's elves will have to remain here to rout the drow, meaning I will be left to deal with Irenicus and whatever he has unleashed upon the city. Elhan has still not revealed the origins of Irenicus's hatred towards the elves and has shed little light on why he refers to the mage as "the Exile," saying only that the crime was great, the punishment greater. Irenicus must have done something especially abhorrent to the elves. Once in the city, I will see if the high priestess Demin has any more information, if the city is intact at all. |
| 57959 Then fall before me, wyrm! You shall spread your evil no further than this! |
| 57960 Hmm, the idea has merit. I smell your magic items and hear your gold. The Goblet is all the treasure that I have. Give me everything that you have, and I will do likewise. |
| 57961 You want everything that I own in exchange for the Goblet? |
| 57962 I agree. Take what I have and give me the Goblet. |
| 57963 I *did* promise to protect the Goblet. Irenicus is offering me a great fortune. You can do no less if your truly wish to have the Goblet. |
| 57964 Very well. Take everything and give me the Goblet. |
| 57965 I won't trade everything that I own. |
| 57966 Excellent. Take the useless cup and be happy that I allow you to live. |
| 57967 The dragon rises into the air with powerful gust of air. For a moment, he fills the very sky above you and blots out the sun. Then he is gone. |
| 57968 Then I will kill you as I should have done the moment I saw you. Mere cattle should not be bargained with. |
| 57969 I will not give you everything that I own for a goblet. |
| 57970 Hmm, that would be the gist of it. But before you judge me subservient, understand that the wizard offers a great deal of treasure for such a simple task. |
| 57971 Gaseous Form |
| 57972 Why work for the gold? Take it, and make Irenicus grovel for the privilege. You need not guard these trinkets! |
| 57973 What if I were to offer you more to give me the Goblet? |
| 57974 Who am I to be purchased like a painted whore? If you have gold, give it to me. Hah! Then you may grovel at my feet in thanks that I have allowed you to live. |
| 57975 I am not so easy to kill as that. Attack if you wish. You will be surprised. |
| 57976 Your words have merit, and I may act on them, but I know your motives. Nizidramanii'yt serves his own purpose, not yours! You have found not the Goblet but death! |
| 57977 Your cursed brethren are dead. If Irenicus hopes to steal the blade, then more of you will be sent screaming back to the Pits. |
| 57978 Your wounds are many, elf. Give me the blade, and I shall allow you to live. |
| 57979 You shall die, and I will have it! |
| 57980 There is more power in it than you know! |
| 57981 Never! I shall gladly die to save the blade! |
| 57982 Rillifane! Grant me death and victory! |
| 57983 Wait! I must |
| 57984 The odd, distinctly elven container is locked, and no amount of pressure will force it open. |
| 57985 The lid holds five pressure plates, each adorned with symbols common to Suldanessellar: Rillifane, the Tree of Life, a rune of Suldanessellar, Corellon Larethian (the father of the elven pantheon), and the elven symbol for water. |
| 57986 Obviously, the runes on the box must be pressed in a certain order to access the contents. The edge of the box seems corroded, as if by acid. Which rune will you press? |
| 57987 Press the symbol of Rillifane. |
| 57988 Press the rune that denotes the Tree of Life. |
| 57989 Press the rune of Suldanessellar. |
| 57990 Press the rune of Corellon Larethian. |
| 57991 Press the elven symbol for water. |
| 57992 You press the rune, and an acid-tipped dart shoots from the box. The plates reset to their original position. That was the wrong rune; you shall have to start over. |
| 57993 Leave the box for now. |
| 57994 The symbols lead you to believe that the mystery of the puzzle lies with elven religion. Something within the city must be able to offer a clue. |
| 57995 The plate moves into the lid and stays. What shall you press next? |
| 57996 Press the symbol of Rillifane. |
| 57997 Press the rune that denotes the Tree of Life. |
| 57998 Press the rune of Suldanessellar. |
| 57999 Press the elven symbol for water. |
| 58000 Leave the box for now. |
| 58001 Elven Priest Stone |
| 58002 Elv |
| 58003 Elven Priest Stone |
| 58004 The plate moves into the lid and stays. What shall you press next? |
| 58005 Press the rune that denotes the Tree of Life. |
| 58006 Press the rune of Suldanessellar. |
| 58007 Press the elven symbol for water. |
| 58008 Leave the box for now. |
| 58009 Ellesime |
| 58011 Ellesime |
| 58012 The plate moves into the lid and stays. What shall you press next? |
| 58013 Press the rune of Suldanessellar. |
| 58014 Press the rune that denotes the Tree of Life. |
| 58015 Leave the box for now. |
| 58016 It works. There is only one rune left, that which represents Suldanessellar. You press it, and the box opens. |
| 58017 Within, you find the talisman of Rillifane. |

| 58023 You feel a tingling as you approach the stairs, a familiar touch which you instinctively recognize as your own soul. Irenicus is near, in the next room. |
| 58024 You pause, knowing that you may not survive the battle to come. You have little choice, however; without your soul, your fate is a grim and certain one. |
| 58025 Fortunately, you arrive at this battle alone. Whether that means you have the power to win or not, you are unsure, but the risk is yours alone, as it should be. |
| 58026 You turn and regard those who remain in your party. You feel a need, perhaps, to ascertain their loyalty, their friendship, or to offer a chance to reconsider. |
| 58027 Imoen, your sister and steadfast friend, who has changed so much in the time you have known her. Shadows circle her eyes, but she smiles as she notices your gaze. |
| 58028 Imoen... you have your soul back. There's no need for you to endanger yourself anymore. This is my fight now. |
| 58029 Imoen, you're my sister and my best friend. I'm going to face Irenicus now... you don't need to come if you don't want to. |
| 58030 This is it, Imoen... you're not going to back out on me now, are you? |
| 58031 Anti-Paladin |
| 58032 Minsc, the scarred and loyal ranger, always ready to leap into battle with Boo ever at his side. You wonder if he truly understands the struggle to come. |
| 58033 Minsc, you are a valiant warrior... but there's no need for you to risk your life in this battle. This is my fight. |
| 58034 You are strong, Minsc, but Irenicus is extremely powerful. There's no need to endanger yourself if you don't want to. |
| 58035 This is it, Minsc. Are you sure you are up to this? |
| 58036 Valygar... the intense and noble ranger whom you saved from the predations of the Cowled Wizards and who has been your companion ever since. |
| 58037 Valygar... Lavok is dead. You could return to your life now if you wish. This is my fight. |
| 58038 Valygar... Lavok is still alive. Your own quest is unfinished, but mine ends here. This is my fight. |
| 58039 Irenicus is a powerful wizard, Valygar. I know how you hate magic users; you do not have to endanger yourself for me. |
| 58040 This is it, Valygar. I need to know that you are ready, that you are willing to commit yourself to the battle ahead. |
| 58041 Mazzy, determined and valiant, who yearns to be a true paladin of Arvoreen and has accompanied you since you freed her from the Shade Lord. |
| 58042 Mazzy, this isn't your battle. You have a life to return to. There is no need for you to continue. |
| 58043 Irenicus is powerful, Mazzy. We may not win, and there is no need for you to endanger yourself. |
| 58044 Are you ready for this fight, Mazzy? I need to know that you are willing to continue. |
| 58045 Jan, ever the irreverent jester. You wonder if he is serious this time... if he has considered fully what may come of the next battle. |
| 58046 Jan, you have family to return to. You don't need to go any further; this isn't your fight. |
| 58047 Jan... you do know how powerful Irenicus is, right? This might not end well. There is no need to endanger yourself. |
| 58048 I need you to be serious and committed here, Jan. Can you do that? |
| 58049 Vilanas |
| 58050 Vilanas |
| 58051 Edwin, who once promised a year of service but isn't the sort to keep his word. Yet the Red Wizard remains, keeping his own counsel and motivations secret. |
| 58052 Magical Sword |
| 58053 Magical Sword |
| 58054 Edwin, I'm sure you have your own interests and goals. You don't have to continue with me... this isn't your fight. |
| 58055 Edwin... you know Irenicus's power. There's no need to endanger yourself here if you don't need to. |
| 58056 May the forest always open a path for you! |
| 58057 Are you prepared for this fight, Edwin? I need to know that you're ready and willing to stand by me. |
| 58058 Haer'Dalis, the tiefling bard who has been a unique companion, always enigmatic and obsessed with entropy. Why he continues to follow you, you don't really know. |
| 58059 Ras |
| 58060 Ras |
| 58061 Haer'Dalis... you don't need to accompany me any further if you don't wish to. This isn't your fight. |
| 58062 You know the power of Irenicus, Haer'Dalis. Death may await us, but there is no need to endanger yourself if you don't wish to. |
| 58063 I need to know that you are committed to continuing, Haer'Dalis. Are you prepared? I need you strong and ready. |
| 58064 Keldorn, the wise paladin and venerable member of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. He has sworn to accompany you, but he has a family as well. |
| 58065 Keldorn, you have a wife and family who need you. You don't have to continue... this isn't your fight. |
| 58066 Keldorn, you have children who already have no mother. They need you. You don't need to continue; this isn't your fight. |
| 58067 Keldorn, you know what comes. Don't let your vow bind you; there's no need to endanger yourself. |
| 58068 Are you ready, Keldorn? I need you committed and ready to die, if necessary. This is important. |
| 58069 Korgan, the vicious and self-interested dwarf, but a seasoned adventurer who also happens to be one of the most effective fighters you have encountered. |
| 58070 Korgan, you don't need to stay in the group. There's a big fight ahead, and it's mine to fight, not yours. |
| 58071 Korgan, you've seen Irenicus's power. There's no need to endanger yourself if you don't need to. |
| 58072 Are you ready for this fight, Korgan? I need to know if you're going to stick around and not run. |
| 58073 Nalia, young and naive. Yet she has come a long way since you first met her. She keeps a generous spirit and youthful attitude, and you wonder if she belongs here. |
| 58074 Nalia... you've got a life to return to. You're young yet... This isn't your battle. It's mine. |
| 58075 Nalia... you've seen Irenicus, and you know his power. There's no need to endanger yourself further. |
| 58076 Are you ready for this, Nalia? I need you focused and committed if you're to come along. |
| 58077 Cernd, steadfast and wise. He has proven himself time again since he joined your ranks, but he has duties and loyalties elsewhere. |
| 58078 Cernd... you have your own grove that you're responsible for. You know this isn't your battle. |
| 58079 Cernd, this will be very dangerous... There's no need to place yourself in harm's way without need. |
| 58080 I need to know that you're with me, Cernd... that you're willing to see this through to the end. |
| 58081 Jaheira, proud and resolute; she has been with you since the beginning, practically. She knows you well and has suffered loss at the hands of Irenicus as well. |
| 58082 Jaheira... I have to get my soul back, you know that. This is not necessarily your fight. |
| 58083 Jaheira, I know you want vengeance, but you know the danger. There is no need to endanger yourself. |
| 58084 Are you ready to face Irenicus, Jaheira? I need you by my side, unwavering and ready to die, if necessary. |
| 58085 Viconia, the brooding dark elf cleric of Shar who has remained since her rescue from the fanatics in Athkatla; in the end, however, you are sure she serves herself. |
| 58086 Viconia, you don't have to continue with me. I have to regain my soul, but this isn't your fight. |
| 58087 Viconia, we're heading for a fight, and there's no need to endanger yourself without need. |
| 58088 Are you ready for this, Viconia? I must know if you're committed, because I need you to give everything you have. |
| 58089 Aerie, at times innocent, at times determined. The young elf has come far since you took her from the circus in Athkatla. Is she ready for what is to come? |
| 58090 Aerie... you don't have to continue past here. This isn't your fight. |
| 58091 You know how powerful Irenicus is, Aerie, and how dangerous. You don't have to come. |
| 58092 Aerie, can you handle the battle to come? If we're going to win, I'll need you ready to give everything you've got. |
| 58093 Anomen, cleric of the Helm and hearty warrior. He has been tested perhaps the most of all your companions. He began seeking fame; why does he remain? |
| 58094 Anomen... you don't need to continue with me. I have to get my soul back... this is my fight, not yours. |
| 58095 Anomen... you know the danger. There's no need to put your life at risk further if you don't have to. |
| 58096 I need to know that you're willing to fight this all the way through, Anomen. Are you committed to this? |
| 58097 Jaheira: You and she have grown close and been through much. Her eyes meet yours instantly and grow pensive, sensing what you are going to ask. |
| 58098 Jaheira... I |
| 58099 The test must be completed before you can leave. |
| 58100 Viconia: She has stayed though your relationship could not work, despite moments when it seemed otherwise. Her dark eyes regard you oddly as you speak. |
| 58101 Viconia... I |
| 58103 Aerie: She has stayed with you, even though not ready for a serious relationship, but there have been times when both of you have forgotten this. Her eyes are wide as you address her. |
| 58105 Aerie... I |
| 58106 Anomen: He has been severely tested during his time with you. It has brought you closer, and he is steadfast in his devotion. He is pensive, as if he senses what you are about to say. |
| 58107 Anomen... I |
| 58109 There is nothing more to be said. Without a further word, you turn grimly back to the stairs before you. Your soul awaits. |
| 58110 The machine is cool to your touchâ€â€not enough energy passes through it to create any more circlets. |
| 58111 You have killed the master illithid brain. You feel a psychic backlash, a sharp pain that jabs into your mind like a knife. Your vision goes white, then slowly returns to normal. You are certain that all of the doors controlled by the brain are now open. |
| 58112 <CHARNAME>, Hero of Trademeet |
| 58113 And I would be quick about it if I were you. I have the right to your head, and I shall enlist all that can hear me in hunting you down. |
| 58114 You have a day. One single day. Beyond that, you are dead. |
| 58115 I gave fair warning, I was generous in my granting of time, and still you fail to satisfy me! So be it! |
| 58116 I call upon all those that honor the Spider Queen! You have angered a favored servant, and I demand that you be hunted down! |
| 58117 You have returned, and none too soon for my tastes. Have you the agreed upon sum of gold? You will receive no other mercy if you do not pay. |
| 58118 4,000 as you wanted. Take it. |
| 58119 2,000 as you wished. Take it. |
| 58120 I cannot afford this yet. |
| 58121 You will receive nothing from me! I will not suffer this! |
| 58122 You will get no more time than I have already allotted you! Return quickly with the price I demand! |
| 58123 I am in the employ of House Despana! I should not be treated like this! |
| 58124 Despana is nearly the equal of my House, but that does not release you from your debt to me. I have a right to compensation! |
| 58125 2,000 will be the price of my mercy. Pay it, or face the wrath of all that follow the Spider Queen. The city is more than willing to participate in a hunt! |
| 58126 I cannot afford that. |
| 58127 Very well, here is your gold. |
| 58128 I will not bow to extortion! I outright refuse to pay you! |
| 58129 Don't be looking at me funny; I've done what I promised. Yes, I'm a Shadow Thief, but as Aran Linvail will tell you, we are on the same side in this matter. |
| 58130 The door will be found in a closet... immediately to the right of the guild's door as ye enters. Go, thenâ€â€Aran Linvail will be expecting ye. |
| 58131 This invisible ring cannot be removed from its owner. |
| 58132 We are bought off yet again. I do not deny that they are the best chance we have to find our quarry, but we had best do their little chores quickly. |
| 58133 Thank you for your opinion, Korgan. I'll just place it over here where it can collect flies all on its own. |
| 58134 Don't see why we have to do this at all. I'm gettin' tired of chasing all over for someone I ain't even met. |
| 58135 Keep talking, pretty. You'll cross a line one day. |
| 58136 Quick to drop your shining honesty when it suits ye, eh? A fine tiny paladin you'll make. |
| 58137 Boo concurs! We must hurry and dispense with this errandry so we can get to the fighting of greater evils more worthy of my bootprint! |
| 58138 Minsc and Boo will protect your street, Aerie! You will cross it for your pleasure, not for fear of it! |
| 58139 I shall never again say this, but I believe we should hurry to Aran's task. If our enemy is his enemy, we may best achieve our goal by helping this guild. |
| 58140 And that would accomplish what? Death on a grand scale, and make our rescue of Imoen all the harder. Her life and well-being must come first. |
| 58141 Keldorn! I cannot believe what I am hearing! You of all people should know we must cleanse the lot of them! |
| 58142 Very well, but this place is just as deserving of our wrath as of our help. |
| 58143 Devils are devils, and this place is just as worthy of our wrath as of our help. Some other day and we would not be standing here speaking to these curs. |
| 58144 I do not hold out much hope that this will help us. Joining the Shadow Thieves is... is a mistake. It will lead to trouble. |
| 58145 I meant nothing. We are perhaps... getting involved where we shouldn't be. That is... well... |
| 58146 As opposed to what? We are destined to come into conflict with this other guild anyway. |
| 58147 Perhaps, but I will chance that if it helps retrieve Imoen. Do you suspect something? |
| 58148 Are these not your type of people? I would have thought you would prefer this. |
| 58149 Pay me no mind. I am muddled in my thoughts. We will proceed as you wish to. |
| 58150 Now we are sure to step on some toes. Be careful, <CHARNAME>. |
| 58151 I suppose we have little choice, even though I have trouble trusting... these people. They do not seem forced into this kind of life at all. |
| 58152 Shut up, Edwin. Your pompous tone disgusts me. |
| 58153 Poor little Nalia. Not quite the troubled ne'er-do-wells you want to coddle? Perhaps we'll find some poor beggar with his cat caught in a tree somewhere. |
| 58154 It is the tone of nobility, woman. You share it as well, but you would rather slum with your lessers. Just as long as they are "needy." |
| 58155 Ugh! There's no talking to you! |
| 58156 Now I must babysit Aran's runaways? This grows tiresome. |
| 58157 But there are so many that have no choice. |
| 58158 Yes, wonderfully chaotic bunch, aren't they? Sneaking through the gutters for the love of it and no other reason. |
| 58159 And these are not them. You will have to save your need to give charity for another day. This matter is strictly business. |
| 58160 I... I've come this far, haven't I? I refuse to let someone like Irenicus get his way. If he gets the power he wants, the suffering will only get worse. No... No, I'm ready to fight, <CHARNAME>. |
| 58161 Now, my dear Aerie, there is nothing to fear. We are on the good path, the most appealing to the moral. There is simply the occasional shade of gray. |
| 58162 Our host may have a murky past, but this task benefits us both. We will earn access to Imoen and keep the balance here. A nature of the street to protect. |
| 58163 Indeed, it would seem the worst the Shadow Thieves intend at the moment is petty larceny. We fight a far greater menace. |
| 58164 You baffle me sometimes, Cernd, but I bow to your wisdom on this matter. |
| 58165 I question whether we serve an "actual" nature in doing this, but I am not above choosing the lesser of two evils. |
| 58166 Perhaps not all magic is evil, <CHARNAME>. But Irenicus is worse than anything Lavok ever was, I am sure of it. I intend to help you stop this madman. Whatever the cost. |
| 58167 Irenicus, in his madness, threatens to upset the balance in a way that few have ever proven capable of, <CHARNAME>. It is good that you will regain your soul, but I will give my life to stop this man from attaining his goal. |
| 58168 I have no desire to associate with the Shadow Thieves, but I see little other choice in the matter. We are caught between this tiny devil we know and the enormous devil we don't. |
| 58169 You, of all people, have no right to speak to me about such things. At least I serve the greater good, whereas you lost all your morals quite possibly at birth. |
| 58170 Things may have changed since I first laid eyes upon you in the tavern, <CHARNAME>, but I refuse to back away from a fight. Whether we are victorious or we fall today, I could not live with myself should I fight with anything less than all I possess. |
| 58171 Pause whenever a party member finds a trap. |
| 58172 I can no more abandon you now than I could have my old friends in the Shade Lord's dungeon, <CHARNAME>. I shall remain honorable... even unto death itself. |
| 58173 <CHARNAME>, I don't need to tell you how much I hate this. This all scares me. Once we save your Imoen, we must never associate with these people again. |
| 58174 I know, but I would rather cross the street than walk by some of these... thieves. |
| 58175 Ahh, but I have little choice in the way of it now, my cautious raven. Your life is an act of such vivid interest to me, I cannot help but remain at your side to see how the last act unfolds before me. My blades stand ready to fall, if entropy dictates it is so. |
| 58176 If... if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have escaped from Kalah. I... I wouldn't be out here, and I wouldn't have the chance to face this evil. I won't stop now no matter what the cost. |
| 58177 Child, you are pathetic. These petty snatch-purses are the weakest of evils, the provenance of children and beggars, more to be pitied, even though they deserve it not. |
| 58178 I have encountered few who have given me quarter since I fled my home. You have saved my life on more than one occasion... we have fought and bled together, and I will give my last breath for you, if necessary. But come... glory awaits us. |
| 58179 Then let us get going! Boo and I have several talents we will unleash upon it! |
| 58180 I do not mean to delay you. We will all do what we must when the time comes. |
| 58181 I intend to be. Have you additional concerns? |
| 58182 You sound worried. Do you fear the possibility of battle? That is not like you. |
| 58183 I will do as I see fit, and you will follow. Why the hesitation? |
| 58184 I... I do not mean to complicate things. I simply worry whom we might find ourselves in conflict with. |
| 58185 I am certain many are there deservedly. Yes, of that I am certain. Some must deserve it. |
| 58186 Not just thieves, but traitorous thieves. Our associations sink ever lower in Aran's service. Let's get this over with. |
| 58187 I have heard some in the Harpers speak of it. It is more than a prison or supposed asylum; it is a place to forget people that are "troublesome." |
| 58188 I will have no trouble with this. Had experience with me own thieving traitors. I'll give these two a taste of what I owe the others. |
| 58189 You'd be in more danger if they were collecting cowards, fool. Now be quiet. |
| 58190 Let me be the first to express concerns about going somewhere designed to hold mages. I do not like this. |
| 58191 I did not mean to suggest anything contrary to what Mr. Linvail is saying. Just that some must deserve it. It seems such a brutal place. |
| 58192 Have you some insight into the place? |
| 58193 You sound as though you hope it is true. Do you know of the place? |
| 58194 Perhaps, but that does not mean Imoen should be confined there, does it? |
| 58195 Gish |
| 58196 Not that I have ever been, but I have heard of some of those confined there, not unlike your Imoen. Can it be so cruel a place? |
| 58198 Long ago, I promised to assist you if your adopted father fell. That promise has not expired, nor has your worthiness. I stand with you if you will have me. |
| 58199 Minsc owes much to the killer of Dynaheir! I stand with you! Nowhere shall I go until the heel of justice has been firmly imprinted once and for all into the wizard's evil backside! Nowhere! |
| 58200 And where do you suppose I should be going? You have a nose that seems to sniff out the path of power, and I will wrest what portion of it I wish until I am sated. (And then, perhaps, we see what becomes of *you*!) |
| 58201 We will do what we must, Edwin. |
| 58202 You will follow where I lead. |
| 58203 Yes, yes, a simple dumping ground for those that prove "troublesome." I've seen the like before, from the inside on occasion. |
| 58204 Gish |
| 58205 I can't fight it, <CHARNAME>, I can't. I was in his service first, and all those that follow him must undergo a geas. I was willing at the time... but now... |
| 58206 Do you... do you know what happens when you try to defy a geas? It hurts... It hurts and then you die. His spells are powerful, <CHARNAME>, so powerful. |
| 58207 Yoshimo! It's not too late! Help me! |
| 58208 I curse at you and Bodhi both, Irenicus. And Yoshimo as well! |
| 58209 Do what you must. I am resigned to the treachery I have suffered. |
| 58210 It is too late, <CHARNAME>. He can't help you. I've ensured it, and you will soon be beyond it all anyway. |
| 58211 Don't bother placing Yoshimo's name next to mine. He is merely a servant. Just go quietly, <CHARNAME>. You might even live. |
| 58212 So I see, but the brave face is wasted on Yoshimo. He can't help you. Just relax and accept what has to come. |
| 58214 I will have revenge for what you and Yoshimo have done! |
| 58215 Yoshimo's treachery was for naught. I have defeated your little beastie. |
| 58216 I believe it does... I can wither and die for failing to kill you, or I can fall in battle and pray that my heart will find purchase with Ilmater. |
| 58217 Yes, yes, you can. I have but two options. A slow and painful death for failing to kill you, or a swift one in battle, and may my heart find purchase with Ilmater for these sins. |
| 58218 Is that your answer? I think you hide your treachery! I do not believe you! |
| 58219 I will help you. This does not have to be like this. |
| 58220 You brought it on yourself. I don't think I can help you. |
| 58222 Irenicus hurt me too, you know. He kept me in that asylum... and experimented on me, and took my soul like it was an appetizer. Uh-uh, I'm not going anywhere. I'm with you all the way. |
| 58223 Ach, don't be givin' me any o' that! Me axe be as sharp as she gets, and it's itching fer a wizardly bloodletting! If I dies, I takes me chances, but I'll have none o' yer coddling! |

| 58226 Warlock |
| 58227 This matter has weighed heavily upon me, I fear. Thank you for your efforts in all things. |
| 58228 You've done me a few good turns here and there, <CHARNAME>. And besides... leaving now would be like turning your back on a three-copper-a-barrel turnip deal. It just isn't done. I would become a Jansen of infamy and ill-repute, never again allowed to involve myself in turnip merchandise anywhere. Tsk. Even Golodon the Unmanned would consider himself superior to me, and I've seen the man's underwear. |
| 58229 Enough with your magic, it makes me think that you are preparing for battle against me. |
| 58230 The path of honor dictates that I see this through to the end, my friend... no matter what. I would not be able to lift my eyes were I to abandon you while such an evil remains unchecked. I could serve good no greater than by what I do now. |

| 58237 I have a strange request... brother. I have the heart of a man that died in shame. |
| 58238 Interesting, though not unheard of. We often try to guide those that have already fallen. Some live well and then fall unexpectedly. Tell me of this man. |
| 58239 Ooh! |
| 58240 Yoshimo, a friend that was forced into treachery. He begged that Ilmater spare his soul from the Hell he was promised. |
| 58241 Yoshimo, a traitor. I do not know if he lied or not, but he did beg Ilmater to take his heart as he fell. He feared the Hell he was promised. |
| 58242 I see. Events took him further than he expected, and he suffered as he struggled between duty and conscience. I have seen such torment in souls before. |
| 58243 Very well, we shall take his heart unto the breast of Ilmater. The Crying God will determine what torment is deserved or not. |
| 58244 If there is suffering undeserved, this Yoshimo will see relief in his eternal rest. |
| 58245 Please, I have a strange request. I have the heart of a man that died in shame. |
| 58246 Go back to the entrance to this level. In that first common room, there will be a hidden door in the northeast wall. A long hallway will lead you to his quarters... eventually. |
| 58247 It is not necessary to say anything, <CHARNAME>. I know what comes next... I know what may happen. To either of us. |
| 58248 We have been through too much to let that stop what you must do. For all the pain that losing Khalid brought... I would not give up our years of good works. |
| 58249 Let us regain your soul and make you whole again. And what comes after... comes after. I look forward to it... should the gods prove willing. |
| 58250 Wait! Who comes? You... you are the child of Bhaal, aren't you? The one that Joneleth... Jon... boasted of stealing power from? He claimed to have slain you! |
| 58251 Well, he didn't, and now it's time for me to pay him back. |
| 58252 He very nearly did. And I intend to return the favor! |
| 58253 Hah! I cannot be stopped! Nor will I, here! |
| 58254 Yes, but... who are you? And what is Irenicus doing? |
| 58255 I am Ellesime, queen of Suldanessellar. Joneleth has me at the center of the tree, trapped in a cage of corruptive magics. This is as far as I have been able to send my image. |
| 58256 Joneleth, the one you know as Irenicus, he... is drawing power from the Tree of Life into himself. There are... parasites attached to the Tree, draining it for him... |
| 58257 Parasites? What manner of creatures are these? |
| 58258 I do not know what manner of parasites these things are... but they are formed from corruption itself, I fear! They feed Joneleth the power and maintain my cage! |
| 58259 Whether you are here to save my people or simply kill he who has tormented you, I care not. One thing must be done: The parasites on the Tree of Life must die! |
| 58260 Do that and I can sever Jon's connection to the Tree. Then, and only then, might he be killed! I... believe he has protected the parasites somehow... I do not know. Hurry! |
| 58261 How do I reach the parasites? There is no route I can see amongst all these branches! |
| 58262 Yes... he has severed branches. Use the nuts... the nuts from the palace gardens! They will grow new branches on the tree! You can use them to cross! |
| 58263 Do it quickly, child of Bhaal! If Jon drains the Tree of Life, all of Suldanessellar is doomed... and Jon will have the power he craves! Please, you *must* stop him! |
| 58264 Yes! Excellent! There is only one more that needs to be destroyed! Already I can see this cage beginning to fade! |
| 58265 Once you kill the last parasite, I will begin to sever his connection. You will need to come to the center of the Tree, where Irenicus and I are, quickly! |
| 58266 The energy he has stolen from the Tree will be torn from him. I know not what effects this will have... it may kill us all! But Jon will be weak and disoriented, so you must kill him quickly! |
| 58267 Finish it quickly! I feel the Tree of Life dying! Jon is drawing too close to his goal! |
| 58268 There is no point in saying what you are going to say, <CHARNAME>. It changes nothing. |
| 58269 You are the only one I have encountered since I fled my homeland who has both taken my measure and given me quarter. You have saved my life more than once. We have fought together and bled together... and more. |
| 58270 Whether loyalty is a trait you would ascribe to me does not matter. I would offer my last breath in your defense. You are... unique amongst men, and I salute you. |
| 58271 Now let us finish this business you have at hand. The future will deal with... us... as it may. |
| 58272 I... I know, <CHARNAME>. I know. Or at least I think I do. It... it isn't important. I've got something to say myself. |
| 58273 You've shown me what the importance of my life could be. What I could do to make a difference. Irenicus has to be stopped, no matter what. And you have to regain your soul. |
| 58274 I... I owe you everything, <CHARNAME>. You've saved my life... and far, far more, you've saved my soul. If I have to give up my life to help you now, I would do so gladly. |
| 58275 I would do it because I... I love you. And I never knew what that meant before, really... but I do now. But there is a task ahead of us that comes first. The future holds what... what it will. And if it holds that we live through this together... well, nothing would make me happier. |
| 58276 Nay, lass, nay. If there are words that are to be spoken before we do what we must, let it be I that speaks them. |
| 58277 I have said harsh things to you. I have done much that I regret. But you have stayed the course with me throughout it all. More than that, you have saved my life... nay, more... my very soul. |
| 58278 I have said more than once that I love you, <CHARNAME>. But those words describe nothing of the ache in my heart I feel for you now. Would that there were some way I could repay you in kind all you have done for me. |
| 58279 Let us go now and stop this madman who threatens all. Let us regain your stolen soul. And should one or both of us fall, then that is what the fates will. If not... then we shall speak again, and soon. I swear it. |
| 58280 He is dead. Lavok, the necromancer, is finally dead... I can scarce believe it. |
| 58281 My family's vow has been fulfilled, and I am now safe. And yet I feel little satisfaction. I had no idea it would be like this. |
| 58282 Could he actually have been redeemed? After all that time? Did he actually fight that demon to prevent it from escaping the sphere? |
| 58283 If you had asked me such a question even a day ago, I would've answered that such redemption was impossible. Now I am not so sure. |
| 58284 I think, perhaps, that I do not know all that I think I do. I have not seen as much of the world as I thought I did. A disturbing realization. |
| 58285 I would continue to travel with you if you would allow me. If there is so much I am not aware of, I must discover it. Will you have me? |
| 58286 I would be glad to have you in my company, Valygar. |
| 58287 As you wish, although I cannot promise it will be for long. |
| 58288 I do not think it would be wise, Valygar. I suggest you find your own way. |
| 58289 I've no desire to travel with a useless lout like yourself. You haven't seen nearly half the world as I have, and I'll not be the one to teach it to you. |
| 58290 My thanks, <CHARNAME>. I will not fail you. |
| 58291 I will travel with you for as long as I can, <CHARNAME>. Without you, I would still be hiding in the forest. You have my thanks and my company for as long as you wish it. |
| 58292 I shall return to my home here in the city, then. If you change your mind, I shall be there a short while before I leave for good. I wish you well on your journey, my friend. |
| 58293 Hm. A side to you I hadn't noticed. Very well... I'll find my own way and likely be the better for it. I wish you well, <CHARNAME>. |
| 58294 You have mastered your Pride, <CHARNAME>. The Tear of Bhaal is yours. Go well. |
| 58295 As you wish, but I'll not stand around here waiting for you to return. You shall find me at the Copper Coronet if you return to your senses, yes? |
| 58296 The small dragon-like creature purrs quizzically with wide eyes. Nervously, it backs away towards <CHARNAME>. Obviously, it doesn't want to talk to you. |
| 58297 The small dragon-like creature flutters its wings happily, looking at you with almost kaleidoscopic eyes. "You wish something?" It awaits your attention, tail flicking. |
| 58298 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 58299 *pet and play with it* |
| 58300 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 58301 How are you? Everything okay down there? |
| 58302 Its eyes brighten, and it practically leaps into your arms, ready to be stowed amongst your belongings, where it can sleep and occasionally poke its head out. |
| 58303 The dragon coos with delight, its multicolored eyes whirling as you pat its warm, leathery hide. "You are very kind to me, my <PRO_LADYLORD>," it purrs. |
| 58304 No, it's all right. Let's just keep going. |
| 58305 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 58306 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 58307 How are you? Everything okay down there? |
| 58308 Let's just keep going, then. |
| 58309 The familiar cranes its neck back and looks up at you with a slightly bewildered expression. "You wish to ask *me* for advice, my <PRO_LADYLORD>?" |
| 58310 It looks at the darkness for a long moment before turning its colorful eyes back at you. "Let us be away from this dark place, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. That is my advice." |
| 58311 The dragon looks about quizzically before turning its multifaceted eyes back upon you. "We go to the place of the poor? The slums, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? I do not know." |
| 58312 The little dragon chuckles to itself musically. "You must collect gold, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Coins and coins enough to find your answers." |
| 58313 It almost seems to frown, its whirling eyes settling on a baleful yellow before continuing. "I do not know, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. You must continue these tasks, no?" |
| 58314 It ponders for a long moment, flicking its tail absently, before turning back again. "We must stop this wizard. Save you and the little sister. That is my advice." |
| 58315 It looks around for a moment, its eyes dimming with fear as its tail curls up under its belly. "We must be away from this place soon, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Please?" |
| 58316 It thinks for a moment and then its eyes brighten dramatically. "We must find the sacred elven city, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Your wizard lies therein, I am certain." |
| 58317 It growls menacingly, but not at you. It flicks its tail wickedly several times. "The wizard, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. He must die, and you must live." |
| 58318 The dragon flicks its tail with pleasure and gazes up at you with colorful eyes. "So long as you are well, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, then I am well." |
| 58319 "But since you are asking, I could use a snack. Perhaps a nice gopher. Or some pie... ooooh, yes, I *like* pie!" |
| 58320 "I... I am a little hurt, though, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. The cuts sting, and I am bleeding. It... it is not pleasant." |
| 58321 "I... I am hurt badly, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I don't want to die, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I want to stay with you." The dragon whimpers a little and curls its tail around your leg. |
| 58322 "I do like traveling with you. Very much, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Do you have an apple? I could roast the apple a little and then eat it down. Apples are good!" |
| 58323 "I am amazed at all the new places I see with you. Everything is so wonderful and so colorful! Is all of the world like this, my <PRO_LADYLORD>?" |
| 58324 "I feel wonderful myself, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. My hide is clean, and I stand ready to aid you against danger!" |
| 58325 The dragon flicks its tail contentedly and then turns its eyes back to the path before you. "As you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>." |
| 58326 The creature stares with open derision, sticking out its forked tongue rudely. It scoots off to <CHARNAME>. Obviously, it doesn't want to talk to you... |
| 58327 The impish creature regards you suspiciously, wary of a kick or slap headed its way, before sidling a step or two closer. "Yeah, boss? You want something?" |
| 58328 Come here. You're going in my pack for now. |
| 58329 "Oh, sure. Stick me in your smelly pack. Ever thought of putting some mint in there? Baaah..." Reluctantly, the imp crawls into your pack. |
| 58330 Don't be so frightened of me, idiot. *pet the familiar* |
| 58331 It seems disgusted as you pat it on the head. "Oh, now I'm a cute little bunny? Give me a break, boss." The imp darts away and does a heebie-jeebie dance. |
| 58332 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 58333 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 58334 It looks at you incredulously, wondering if you are serious or if this is a prelude to a slap. "You want *me* to give *you* advice, boss? That's a first." |
| 58335 It looks around a few moments before turning back to you. "Yeah, I got advice. Get your tail outta here, or hadn't you figured that out? Sheesh, ye're dumb." |
| 58336 It rolls its eyes in an exaggerated fashion. "What? Now I'm your tourist guide? Do whatever you want, boss. Go kill a king or something, sheesh." |
| 58337 "Let's see... advice. Advice... advice. Oh, yeah, I know... STOP BUGGIN' ME! Yeah, that's the ticket..." |
| 58338 "Well heck, I guess you just do what you're told, eh? Now, if you'd listened to me right off the bat, boss, you never would've gotten into this mess..." |
| 58339 It gives looks about and gives a quick shiver. "Yeah, I got advice right, boss. Stick your head between your legs an' kiss your butt goodbye." |
| 58340 The demon looks about. "What? Seems like a cheery enough place. Slaughter the locals, set yourself up as absolute ruler and tyrant. Works for me." |
| 58341 The creature looks quizzical. "Isn't it obvious? You get to that elven city. All that pillaging, there's gotta be treasure ripe for the taking. Sheesh." |
| 58342 "But you want my advice? I'd say you're screwed, boss. But that's just my opinion. You can go ahead and do whatever you want." |
| 58343 Is all well down there? |
| 58344 It looks at you suspiciously, its sulfur eyes squinting. "Hmph. Since when are you so interested in me, boss? Up 'til now, it's all been you, you, you." |
| 58345 "But if you're really concerned, you could get me some healing. I got scratches, you know... you wouldn't want me to die, would you? I'm too useful!" |
| 58346 "But since you're asking, I could use healing. Ichor's running bad... you wouldn't want to send me back to the planes, would you? *That* would be a shame..." |
| 58347 "But, hmmm, let me see. I'm kinda hungry. How about a puppy sandwich? A steak? A chicken sacrifice? C'mon, throw me a bone here, sheesh!" |
| 58348 "But since you asked, I think you should get more gold. I wanna sleep in a BIG bag of gold. I could swim in it... yeah, that's it, swim in the gold... yeah..." |
| 58349 "But I would like to say that you run around too much. Here, there, back again... sheesh! Don't you ever stop a while, set up shop? Gimme a break, boss!" |
| 58350 "But since you asked, I wanna register a complaint. Where's all *my* magical stuff? I want a big sword... and a bag of holding... and some wands, yeah, wands..." |
| 58351 All right, let's just keep going. |
| 58352 It looks ahead and sighs, scratching its rear luridly. "Oh, sure. Only, what, another fifty years of wanderin' around? Don't you ever settle down? Sheesh..." |
| 58353 Do have any advice for me, my familiar? |
| 58354 Are you all right, familiar? All is well? |
| 58355 Never mind. Just keep moving. |
| 58356 The small creature looks at you with suspicion, and after a moment's inspection, it turns and gives you full view of its rear while it strolls to <CHARNAME>. |
| 58357 The familiar sighs, its nose twitching slightly with curiosity as it looks up with dark eyes. "What is it now, <PRO_MANWOMAN>? I am hungry. I wish to be petted and fed." |
| 58358 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 58359 The familiar eyes your pack, and then reluctantly crawls inside. "Very well. It is better that you carry me. Do not bump me around so much this time." |
| 58360 *pet the familiar* |
| 58361 "Aahhhh..." The familiar half-closes its eyes with contentment, a pleased smile creeping across its face. "Yes, this is good. Food would also be nice." |
| 58362 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 58363 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 58364 The animal looks at you, fairly close to bewildered. "Me? I suppose I have thoughts that it would amuse me to share, but would you even regard them, <PRO_MANWOMAN>?" |
| 58365 Looking about at the darkness, the familiar turns back with a shrug. "I would say let us be off to the surface, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Surely food is more plentiful there." |
| 58366 It looks about for several moments, watching various city animals and people. It finally turns back, almost startled. "What? Advice? Ah... no. No advice." |
| 58367 The little animal thinks to itself for a few moments and then saunters away, presenting its tail and bum to you. Apparently, it has tired of thinking. |
| 58368 It thinks for a long moment and then seems to drift off, yawning widely. It stares, blinking several times. "Feed me, and then pet me some more. That is my advice." |
| 58369 "Let's see... the wizard is behind all your trials, yes? Then it is easy, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Find him, kill him, and your troubles are no more. Now will you feed me, yes?" |
| 58370 It looks about balefully, its ears folding back against its head in fear. "This... is a place where I am food. I do not like this place. We should go elsewhere." |
| 58371 "Hmm, the elven city has the Tree of Life within, <PRO_MANWOMAN>, a wondrous thing connected to all that is natural. You must find the city and the Tree. That is my advice." |
| 58372 As it thinks, its eyes glow red with uncharacteristic ferocity. "There is only one solution, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. For you to survive, the wizard must die. That is how it must be." |
| 58373 How are you? Everything okay down there? |
| 58374 It looks up with dark eyes, seemingly content to just be near you. It sighs and looks away briefly. "We are connected, you and I. If you are well, so am I." |
| 58375 "But I myself have a few insignificant injuries. I am strengthened because you are stronger than I. If you could treat my wounds, it would please me." |
| 58376 "But I myself am hurt very badly. I bleed, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I may survive, or I may not... we shall see." |
| 58377 "But since you ask, I am possessed of a craving for food. Procure some for me, and I shall allow you to pet me for a while longer." |
| 58378 "But I think you are a good enough traveling companion. I am pleased with the progress we make. Perhaps I shall remain with you for some time to come; we shall see." |
| 58379 The small animal seems to ponder saying something else, but eventually its attention drifts and it finds something more interesting than you elsewhere. Walking away, it presents its tail and bum to you. |
| 58380 "But all is well enough, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Why? Are you not well? You will not sicken and die on me, <PRO_MANWOMAN>, would you? If you did, it would sadden me, for a while." |
| 58381 Let's just keep going, then. |
| 58382 The familiar sighs and turns its eyes disinterestedly to the path before you. "I would prefer to choose our path myself, but you'll no doubt want to be stubborn." |
| 58383 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 58384 How are you? Everything okay down there? |
| 58385 Perhaps later. Let's just keep going. |
| 58386 *slap it in the head* |
| 58387 *slap it in the head* |
| 58388 The imp reels from the blow. "HeeEEYY! Cripes! What wuz that for?! I did everything you told me to, boss! Sheesh! Some people..." |
| 58389 Another slap sends it to the floor, frantically covering its head. "Gaaah! Okay! You're the boss-<PRO_MANWOMAN>! YOU boss, ME just little follower! I get it!" |
| 58390 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 58391 *slap it again* |
| 58392 *slap it again* |
| 58393 *slap it again* |
| 58394 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 58395 Is all well down there? |
| 58396 All right, let's just keep going. |
| 58397 "Ow! Dammit, stop it! I'll do whatever you say, just stop slappin'!" It takes steps away, muttering something about "abusive codependent relationships" or similar. |
| 58398 The imp darts away at the last second. "Nyah! Thhhppppfffttt! You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn! You suck!" It dashes away before a reprisal can come. |
| 58399 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 58400 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 58401 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 58402 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 58403 So... is all well down there? |
| 58404 So... is all well down there? |
| 58405 All right, let's just keep going. |
| 58406 All right, let's just keep going. |
| 58407 Did I accuse you of being one? Certainly not. Indeed, it is a grim vocation, and one I shy away from myself. It has, however, become necessary. |
| 58408 He is indeed a despicable person. Does that warrant his execution? |
| 58409 Ask the men he tortures or the brothers he would betray. He values no life over his own and is not shy about cutting them short. |
| 58410 Somewhat haughtily, Lucy turns away as you approach. The wyvern ignores you. |
| 58411 No... I wasn't finished... Gughugh... |
| 58424 Hm! |
| 58425 Hmph! I suppose I should expect nothing better from the likes of you. |
| 58426 Ohh! |
| 58432 There is no need to kneel, commoner. |
| 58435 Welcome to this altar devoted to our Mistress of Coin, Waukeen, she who smiles on all who trade. Is there something I might do for you? |
| 58436 I thought Waukeen was dead. How can you still worship her? |
| 58437 Dear <GIRLBOY>, Waukeen is not dead. She is... missing. The goddess of joy, Lliira, grants power to her worshippers in her stead for now. |
| 58438 Some have abandoned our mistress for the god of caravans, Shaundakul, and others... but there are many who wait patiently for her return. |
| 58439 I have faith. Waukeen is Amn's patron, and when she returns, all that has ailed us will fade. You shall see. |
| 58440 I've never thought of trade as something you could worship. |
| 58441 I am sure that there are many who think as you do, dear <GIRLBOY>. How, then, do you explain all the good that trade has brought to the realms? |
| 58442 Wondrous cities have been built, communications go between cultures throughout Toril... all because of trade. Without it, we would still be living in caves. |
| 58443 To many who ply trade, there is nothing more important in the world. Fortunes are made and lost under Waukeen's auspices. |
| 58444 I thought Waukeen was dead. How can you still worship her? |
| 58445 I'd like to see your services. |
| 58446 Of course. The Waukeenar are always willing to serve... at a fair and honest price, of course. |
| 58447 I'll be on my way. |
| 58448 May fortune seek you, dear <GIRLBOY>. |
| 58449 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 58450 I'll be on my way. |
| 58451 Trade doesn't seem all that holy to me. |
| 58452 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 58453 Nothing. I'll be going. |
| 58454 You don't know drudgery until you've been stuck in the docks barracks for a while, friend. I swear I got put here as a punishment. |
| 58455 This isn't a good part of the city for a guard to be in, you know. The thieves run the docks... everyone knows *that*. |
| 58456 We guards can't even walk around much. Last time, I lost my belt, sword, cloak, and half my armor. In the docks, we pretty much hole up behind these walls. |
| 58457 The captain's on the take from the Shadow Thieves, I swear. The Bloodscalp won't have us interfering in his part of town. |
| 58458 If you're looking for help, you won't find it here. We don't do much in this here barracks except clean... and practice our swords a little. |
| 58459 Who let you in here? These barracks aren't for people like you to just wander in and around, you know! |
| 58460 Get out of here! I've heard enough of you, and you're lucky I don't place you under arrest! Out! |
| 58461 The barracks is no place for someone like you. Out you go! |
| 58462 So, heh... I seen this old halfling lady, right? An' she's struggling with this cutpurse, trying to take back her bag, right? An' so she calls out to me for help! *snicker* |
| 58463 Yeah? An' then what? |
| 58464 So I yawns, right? An' then I says to her: "Hey, lady, this is the *docks*, an' I'm not about to..." Hey. Hey you! Who let you in here? |
| 58465 Yeah! Get outta here before we arrest you! This is the barracks, not some tourist stop! |
| 58466 So I was down by the docks the other day, right? Watching one of 'em big barges from Calimport unload? An' you know what I sees? |
| 58467 What? What'd you see? |
| 58468 I sees 'em taking people off their shipâ€â€slaves, of courseâ€â€so I tells 'em they needs a "license," right? An' of course they... Hey! Hey! Are you still here?! |
| 58469 We told you to get lost! Beat it, <PRO_MANWOMAN>! |
| 58470 So I meets up with Isaea Roenall the other day, right? An' you know what he tells me? |
| 58471 That noble shank? You talked to him? |
| 58472 Yeah, I did. Turns out he's not so bad. Even told me about a juicy little... hey! Are you *still* here? If I have to tell you one more time to get lost...! |
| 58473 You'll pay for it then, you little dirt monkey! Get lost or suffer the consequences! |
| 58474 So you knows I went down to the government building the other day, right? You knows who I literally bumps into? |
| 58475 Who? Not Brega! |
| 58476 Naw, I avoids him like the plague. No, I bumps into this Cowled Wizard, of all things, an he tells me he's got this deal... Hey! Are you still here?! |
| 58477 You've been warned, <PRO_GIRLBOY>! Now you're in for it! |
| 58478 Naaw, let 'em go. Look at 'em... gussied up like that. They're not worth the trouble. 'Sides... they got more important places to be, I'm sure. |
| 58479 But...! |
| 58480 It's not worth it. We gots a sweet deal here, why make trouble? Come on... we can go down to the port for a "patrol," eh? Heh heh... |
| 58481 Get lost, <GIRLBOY>. You're not welcome here in the barracks. Likely to get bloody arrested, you are. |
| 58482 On your way. This is no place for you. |
| 58483 What?! Some lout has discovered our hideout here, has <PRO_HESHE>? Blast! I paid that bloody Thumb good money for secrecy! |
| 58484 Kill the bloody spy, mates! I'll have no word of this leaking out! |
| 58486 Get out o' my face before I smash yours in! |
| 58487 I know that you work for Galvena, and I want your medallion to gain entrance to the festhall. |
| 58488 Your words mean nothing, scum! Die! |
| 58489 The medallion, fool? You will die for your audacity! Lady Galvena shall receive your head as a trophy! |
| 58490 You have a medallion that I want. What is your price? |
| 58491 You have a medallion that I have need of. What is it worth to you? |
| 58492 <CHARNAME>, say we won't look back. I don't care if he can "tap the power" or access whatever avatar stuff. We've gotta get away from all this death. |
| 58493 I have no intention of looking back. Our "host" has proven his evil intent. |
| 58494 If it were just me, I might be interested in what he wants, but I will not have you harmed further. |
| 58495 If he's uncovered something I can use, perhaps I will "encourage" him to reveal it. |
| 58496 Means a lot to hear that. I can't stand all these shadows... |
| 58497 I appreciate that, but I doubt he meant you any good either. Didn't spare you the knives any more than me. Come on, I gotta get away from all these shadows. |
| 58498 Let it go, please? Whoever he is and whatever he can do, above it all, he's a vile bastard that's hurt us both. Come on, I gotta get away from all this death. |
| 58499 If I wanted to listen to yer yip, ye prissy elf, I'd pull ye over me knee and smack yer bottom. At least then I'd have meself something interesting to do while ye blathered on. |
| 58500 Please leave me be. It is not bad enough that we are strangers to this townâ€â€now my wife is gone as well. |
| 58501 Leave me be! I want my husband! |
| 58502 He said something like "releasing power within you so it could be used," but if it means taking part in horrible things... I don't like this place. Can we go? |
| 58503 <CHARNAME>, I don't care if he could make us three ogres strong, I have to get out of this place. It bothers me. Makes me think I see... things. |
| 58504 As if I need another reminder. <CHARNAME>, I don't care what power this guy thinks he can tap in you, he's just sick to the core. We can't ever look back. |
| 58505 Be on the wary, my raven. Anything could come through the conduits and endanger us all. |
| 58506 My thanks to you, <PRO_GIRLBOY>, for saving a foolish wizard's life. *sigh* With my daughter now gone... I think I will leave myself for a while and consider what I have done. |
| 58507 Out! Out! Until you do what is your duty, you are not my son! Get out of my house! |
| 58508 Speak to me when my son is amongst you. Otherwise, leave my home. |
| 58509 I'll not speak to one of my son's killers. Remove yourself from my home, cur. |
| 58510 The murderer of the Cowled Wizards comes amongst us? You take your life into your own hands, ranger. I suggest you run, if you can. |
| 58511 So... the fool shows his face amongst us. And he has allies, I see. So be it. The Cowled Wizards shall have their way whether you like it or not, ranger! |
| 58512 This, however, is not the place for a confrontation. A reckoning shall come soon enough, my foolish friends... |
| 58513 So. <CHARNAME> has returned, I see. And with the fool ranger in tow, no less. This is as good as anything else, I suppose. |
| 58514 Unless you've decided to throw in your lot with that ranger. I suppose a true fool might be talked into such. What shall it be, <CHARNAME>? Are you a fool? |
| 58515 You... you've brought me to the wizards, <CHARNAME>? Why? You aren't going to sell me out to them, I hope! I've done nothing to deserve such a fate! |
| 58516 <CHARNAME> is no fool, wizard... and neither is Valygar, nor I. You shall not have this man, for we shall fight to the last to prevent such an event! |
| 58517 We are not fools, wizard! None of us! This ranger shall never be yours, and your foul magics shall never persuade us differently! |
| 58518 No, Valygar, we shall not give up on you. The Cowled Wizards believe much if they think to use everyone as they wish. You will receive nothing this day, mage! |
| 58519 No! We do not abandon comrades! Never could I look Boo in the face again after such a thing! We shall give the evil wizard a certain boot-kicking instead! |
| 58520 You... you wouldn't actually do such a thing, would you, <CHARNAME>? Valygar is a good man! Tell the wizard to go away! We're not working for him anymore, tell him! |
| 58521 I could not forgive myself for turning over an honest man to such wizards as these, <CHARNAME>. To do such a thing would be dishonorable, to say the least. |
| 58522 I don't know, <CHARNAME>... this doesn't seem right. Tolgerias has obviously lied to us about Valygar. We aren't still working for him, are we? |
| 58523 Pfeh! Hand him to yon mage or nae, I care not. I, for one, would like to see what treasures lay in the sphere he spoke of. Far more booty than this wizard offers, aye? |
| 58524 I wonder if <CHARNAME> feels the same. Regardless, Valygar has chosen your insipid company, and I'll not tolerate such threats... You shall all suffer for it. |
| 58525 So, then, <CHARNAME>... what will it be? |
| 58526 I'm no fool. Take the ranger and do with him as you will. |
| 58527 Forget it, Tolgerias. You're not getting your hands on him, period. |
| 58528 As you wish. The Cowled Wizards are no mean opponent, <CHARNAME>, and you shall suffer dearly for your decision. |
| 58529 Take Valygar and do with him as you will. Our contract is fulfilled. |
| 58530 Forget it, Tolgerias. You're not getting him, period. |
| 58531 A prudent decision. Allow me a moment to deal with your former teammate, then. |
| 58532 I... I'm not going to stay around and watch this. Goodbye, <CHARNAME>. You... you obviously aren't the kind of person I thought you were... |
| 58533 I shall not stay and witness this. Your fate is your own, foul <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 58534 No! No, someone, please! SOMEONE HELP ME! |
| 58535 I am the channel through which your wish shall be fulfilled. You may ask for a wish I can repeat, or you may ask for a wish that will happen once only. Decide. |
| 58536 A repeatable wish. |
| 58537 A one-time wish. |
| 58538 Choose wisely then, as I can perform each of these tasks once and once only. |
| 58539 Actually, I'd rather have a repeatable wish. |
| 58540 I don't want a wish of any kind right now. |
| 58541 I wish to be rich. |
| 58542 I wish for a powerful magical item. |
| 58543 I wish to be more experienced. |
| 58544 I wish to see all as it really is. |
| 58545 I wish for an adventure like none I've ever experienced before. |
| 58546 I wish for control over time. |
| 58547 I wish to be anything I desire. |
| 58548 I wish to be prepared for anything. |
| 58549 I wish that all my enemies will die. |
| 58550 Very well then. I am gone. |
| 58551 Rich you want, then rich you shall be. |
| 58552 Then let your enemies fall now! |
| 58553 Contingencies are the key to preparation. |
| 58554 Then you shall have it. |
| 58555 I thank you... <CHARNAME>... I am free in death... I must rest... |
| 58556 *chuckle* Fight well, and experience you will earn. |
| 58557 Soon you will have your quest, my master. |
| 58558 Time is now your ally, master. |
| 58559 I give you then the ability to shapechange... Use it wisely, for it will not last forever. |
| 58560 With these glasses, no item will be beyond your ability to comprehend. |
| 58561 Choose then, but be aware that unwise wishes shall leave the wisher wanting. |
| 58562 I wish for my entire party to be healed. |
| 58563 I wish that none of my party would die of their wounds. |
| 58564 I wish that spells I have cast would be restored, that I might cast them again! |
| 58565 I wish for my spells to be restored! |
| 58566 I wish to make my party invulnerable. |
| 58567 I wish that magic would fail to affect me or my party. |
| 58568 I wish to summon a horde to overrun my enemies. |
| 58569 I wish to be protected from the undead. |
| 58570 I wish to be protected from undead right now. |
| 58571 I want to ask for a one-time wish instead. |
| 58572 I do not want a wish now. |
| 58573 Then all shall be healed. |
| 58574 Granted. All will die of other afflictions, but not of the wounds they have. |
| 58575 Then I shall grant your wish and restore some of your lost spells. |
| 58576 Granted. Your spells have been restored to the way they were before you memorized them. |
| 58577 Invulnerability you shall have! |
| 58578 A curious request, but consider it granted. None of your spells shall function. |
| 58579 A horde? As you wish... |
| 58580 Protection granted. |
| 58581 Protection from undead granted, and I shall have to summon some undead for you to be protected from. |
| 58582 Nothing yet. |
| 58583 Well then, go quickly! This very night, Mook will be waiting! |
| 58584 I reconsider. I will make no wish at this time. |
| 58585 Thief! |
| 58586 Dirty thief, I'll show you! |
| 58587 No one steals from me! |
| 58588 You stupid oaf! I will not tolerate being stolen from. |
| 58589 Pathetic attempt! |
| 58590 Your hands shall hang as trophies on my walls. |
| 58591 This mistake shall cost you your life. |
| 58592 If I am a dancer, then I dance for Shar. Take your leering eyes and turn them elsewhere, planesman. |
| 58593 I have loyalties that bind me, yes... Do not make bravery your downfall, male. Return to your world above: These depths are not for you. Izil phor, ji harl. |
| 58594 What's that, hargluk? |
| 58595 Your tone, like your manners, is absent of charm, Korgan. Our kinship as Those Below should be celebrated, not ridiculed. Though equals we are not. |
| 58596 I will not rejoin you, <CHARNAME>, until that infernally smug bastard Keldorn is no longer a part of your group! |
| 58597 Ahh, you did come! He said you would, but I thought you too much a coward. My swaddling kin will have your flesh after all! |
| 58598 F-fine! I'll go! If <CHARNAME> has a... a thug like you around, then there's no need for me, is there?! |
| 58599 Tazok? Weren't you at my battle with Sarevok beneath Baldur's Gate? Aren't you dead? |
| 58600 And who might you be? More fodder to be brushed aside, most likely. |
| 58601 Just another nameless creature. I pity you your brief life and meaningless goals. |
| 58602 Couldn't we talk about this? You're obviously an intelligent creature. |
| 58603 Sarevok took too much for his plate, left us in a bad position. You'll find my new master much smarter, and me much harder to kill! |
| 58604 Seems Firkraag has a special treat in store, brought me here just for you. Got a special bug in his craw about seeing you perform. |
| 58605 Who am I to disagree if it means I get to put my foot to you once more?! Fight! And know that behind Tazok is a power greater than you have ever seen! |
| 58606 No, not fodder! An old enemy, come to take his due even if you don't remember! I fell with Sarevok, but not again! |
| 58607 Pity! Save your pity for yourself! You are amusement for Firkraag, and you will fall at Tazok's resurrected hand! |
| 58608 And you use words when your strength fails you! I will speak, but it shall be the last you hear! I am brought back for revenge and the amusement of the new master! |
| 58609 I am free! You shall be the first to feel my true power! |
| 58610 Wot's 'is? Look now, boys... looks like we've some volunteers to do some rowin' on the ships, aye? |
| 58611 So how about it, <PRO_GIRLBOY>? Ye goin' to come an' be a slave quietly, or do we have t' rough ye up a bit, hm? |
| 58612 Let me think for a moment. Ummmm... no thanks. |
| 58613 Maybe you could just back off now and leave with your lives, scum. |
| 58614 I'm not looking for any trouble. |
| 58615 So be it. This one'll make us a fine slave, boys... take <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 58616 Well, ye've found it now, haven't ye? Enough yap, take <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 58617 *hic* 'Ey? Who's this? Some landlubbin' strangers! |
| 58618 *hic* Hah! *hic* C'mon, fellers! Let's show 'em who's boss! |
| 58619 Hello, <CHARNAME>. I come to report of a matter that is of import to the druidic cause and custom. |
| 58620 A'right, a'right! *hic* I be bloody sorry already! Here... take me bloody purse; just don't hurt me! |
| 58621 <CHARNAME>, you are at a very important period in your development as a druid. You have a greater duty that you must assume. |
| 58622 As you may have noticed, <PLAYER2> is at an impasse with regard to their druidic abilities. They have ceased to progress. |
| 58623 Fine. Now get lost and consider this a lesson learned. |
| 58624 I don't need your purse. Just don't pull this on anyone else in the future. |
| 58625 You should have thought of that before, fool! |
| 58626 As you may have noticed, <PLAYER3> is at an impasse with regard to their druidic abilities. They have ceased to progress. |
| 58627 As you may have noticed, <PLAYER4> is at an impasse with regard to their druidic abilities. They have ceased to progress. |
| 58628 As you may have noticed, <PLAYER5> is at an impasse with regard to their druidic abilities. They have ceased to progress. |
| 58629 As you may have noticed, <PLAYER6> is at an impasse with regard to their druidic abilities. They have ceased to progress. |
| 58630 Once a druid has reached this level of experience, it is their duty to return to a druid grove and make a challenge. |
| 58631 Only a select number of druids can exist in each level of ability. You must assume this service and become a Great Druid in the eyes of nature and your fellows. |
| 58632 I will inform those of the grove south of Trademeet that you will be returning. Come as soon as you can. It is a great honor to have such a title bestowed. |
| 58633 I have returned to remind you of how the rituals of the druidic hierarchy must affect your group. |
| 58634 <CHARNAME>, you are at the peak of your ability and must assume the responsibility that a druid must at your level of experience. |
| 58635 <PLAYER2> is at the peak of their ability and must assume the responsibilities of a druid of their level. They must challenge at the druid grove. |
| 58636 <PLAYER3> is at the peak of their ability and must assume the responsibilities of a druid of their level. They must challenge at the druid grove. |
| 58637 <PLAYER4> is at the peak of their ability and must assume the responsibilities of a druid of their level. They must challenge at the druid grove. |
| 58638 <PLAYER5> is at the peak of their ability and must assume the responsibilities of a druid of their level. They must challenge at the druid grove. |
| 58639 <PLAYER6> is at the peak of their ability and must assume the responsibilities of a druid of their level. They must challenge at the druid grove. |
| 58640 The druids of the grove south of Trademeet await the arrival of a challenger. I will inform them that you will be returning there as soon as possible. |
| 58641 There is no greater an honor than to challenge for the title of Great Druid. We will expect you soon. |
| 58642 Right you are. Let's go. |
| 58643 You seem awfully quick to abandon me. |
| 58644 Fine, I'm moving, but I don't take kindly to your orders. |
| 58645 It appears that I have been tricked into killing these knights! |
| 58646 You must excuse me if I do not accept your version of the events. Are you mad? |
| 58647 I'll tell you first that my goal is to track down a powerful wizard named Irenicus... Nothing will keep me from that fiend! |
| 58648 I would be safer from the Cowled Wizards amongst you, that much is certain. I have never heard of this Irenicus, but I have no qualms of aiding you in finding him. |
| 58649 It appears that I have been tricked into killing these knights! |
| 58650 Perhaps you should know that I am hunting a powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus... Nothing shall keep me from him. |
| 58651 I do not know whom you speak of, my friend, but I shall endeavor to aid you in all things righteous. If this mage deserves the point of a blade, then so be it. |
| 58652 You should probably know that I've business with a powerful wizard named Irenicus. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 58653 I've had dangerous dealings with a wizard or two myself. In fact, Golodon the Unmanned had the most dangerous breath this side of Rashemen. A casual conversation between him and Rozar the Unwilling almost started the Guild War of '42, you know. All those spells he cast, thinking he was cursed, and all he really needed was a good dentist. Of course, you show me a dentist whose willing to yank a rotten tooth out of the mouth of a cranky wizard, and I'll show you a pig with wings. Big ones. They have them in the Moonshaes, you know. But enough about me. |
| 58654 You should probably know that I've business with a powerful wizard named Irenicus. It could be quite dangerous. |
| 58655 I do not believe you. |
| 58656 I have little doubt that Mielikki shall also forgive you for your trespasses in the past, good ranger. She restores your status. Do not squander this second chance. |
| 58657 You there! Finally, we meet... I've had enough of you wandering about pretending to be me! Earn your own reputation... my name is my own! |
| 58658 My name is Drizzt Do'Urden, once of Menzoberranzan and now of the Ten Towns... and you are an imposter! |
| 58659 And a step behind their friends. I trust no more will happen to hamper our success. |
| 58660 I have done what I can, as captain and as compatriot. I can do no more. |
| 58661 Good business? What is this? Are we all to be slaughtered together? If my life is forfeit, how soon for yours?! Think on this! |
| 58662 I stress to you, sir, that I have done what I must, just as you will continue to do. You will continue, do you hear? That is all that I know. |
| 58663 Astutely determined, Mistress Bodhi. The scoundrel clearly hides his true intent. |
| 58664 He is to be admired for one thing: He hides his associations well. Not all can make claim to such. |
| 58665 Just so you know, I intend to track down a powerful mage by the name of Irenicus... a dangerous task if you're not prepared for one. |
| 58666 Yes, yes, I'm sure your little problems are quite dangerous. Your chances of survival have risen with me, and I look forward to seeing this mage's spellbooks. |
| 58667 Now let us get moving before your grateful sentimentality begins to drip all over me. |
| 58668 I certainly hope so. I am hunting an incredibly powerful wizard named Irenicus, and nothing will keep me from him! |
| 58669 Good. I have little to do, and your hunt for this mage shall prove a useful distraction. My power is yours, <CHARNAME>, for as long as you desire. |
| 58670 I intend to hunt a powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus. It will be good to have you by my side. |
| 58671 This key has a faint but foul odor clinging to it, like that of the sewers. There are no sewers within the halls where you found the key. The lock that this key opens will have to be found elsewhere. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 58672 Danger is nothing new to me, my raven. And should it come, my blades shall guard it from us both. Let us stride together, then, and find this prey you seek... it should be an interesting venture! |
| 58673 I am not yet ready to make such a challenge. |
| 58674 You should be aware, perhaps, that I am hunting a very powerful mage named Irenicus. It will, no doubt, be a dangerous task. |
| 58675 I don't... I don't think I've ever heard that name before. But it doesn't matter anyway. I'll come... there's nothing left for me here, really. |
| 58676 You should be aware, perhaps, that I am hunting a very powerful mage named Irenicus. It will, no doubt, be a dangerous task. |
| 58677 You should be aware, perhaps, that I am hunting a very powerful mage named Irenicus. It will, no doubt, be a dangerous task. |
| 58678 You should be aware, perhaps, that I am hunting a very powerful mage named Irenicus. It will, no doubt, be a dangerous task. |
| 58679 Very well. You should know, however, that I am hunting a powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus. There will be considerable danger. |
| 58680 If this wizard deserves his fate, as most do, then danger is no deterrent for me. I will aid you in your quest, as I have said. |
| 58681 Very well. You should know, however, that I am hunting a powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus. There will be considerable danger. |
| 58682 You should know that I am hunting a powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus. There will be considerable danger involved. |
| 58683 I am sure the wizard deserves whatever horrid fate lies in store for him. Anomen Delryn shall stand beside you in your quest! |
| 58684 Lies! You're not going to turn us against each other with your little mind games. |
| 58685 What are you talking about, Irenicus? You have no allies in my group. |
| 58686 What is he talking about, Yoshimo? |
| 58687 Th... things are not as they seem, <CHARNAME>, and for that, I apologize. I can offer no explanation that you would find sufficient. |
| 58688 It... It is a discovery that gives me shame, <CHARNAME>. All is not what I have made it out to be. |
| 58689 You are mistaken, of course. I have had my interests taken care of from the beginning. |
| 58690 I have no need to turn you. Your group is fractured as it is. I have had my interests represented well from the beginning. |
| 58691 I... I fear he is correct in this, <CHARNAME>, and I have no excuse that you would find satisfactory. |
| 58692 You have done as you must, Yoshimo. I have seen to it. Now, is everything as I asked? |
| 58693 So you betray me to the monster? I had thought I earned your trust. |
| 58694 You! I remember you, fiend! Now you face your fate at the righteous hands of Anomen Delryn! |
| 58695 What you earned is of no consequence. I *took* his trust in the beginning. That is all there is to be said. |
| 58696 You should know... I intend to hunt down a rather powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus. There is considerable danger involved. |
| 58697 So long as ye helps me plunder me tomb as I ask, I'll join ye in skinning yer mage, if it pleases ye. The mage'll be no danger with an axe in his belly, sure enough. |
| 58698 I apologize, <CHARNAME>. There are circumstances that you are not aware of. |
| 58699 I cannot give a reason that will satisfy. Your wrath will come regardless. |
| 58700 You are damn right it will! There is nothing lower than a traitor! |
| 58701 We will discuss this later, Yoshimo. You can be assured of that. |
| 58702 I will survive this, despite what you think you had to do. |
| 58703 You should probably know that I intend to hunt down a powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus. It might be quite dangerous. |
| 58704 I've never heard of him, I think. Well... danger doesn't really scare me. And I know some magic myself anyway. I could be of some help to you. |
| 58705 Very well. You should probably know, though, that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus. It might be quite dangerous. |
| 58706 Very well. You should probably know, though, that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus. It might be quite dangerous. |
| 58707 You should probably know, Nalia, that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful wizard by the name of Irenicus. It might be quite dangerous. |
| 58708 Perhaps you should know that I intend to hunt down a powerful mage named Irenicus. There could be considerable danger involved. |
| 58709 Hmm, I am no stranger to quests that threaten my life. I will aid you, if you allow it. In fact, I would be glad to. |
| 58710 Perhaps you should know that I intend to hunt down a powerful mage named Irenicus. There could be considerable danger involved. |
| 58711 Perhaps you should know that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful mage named Irenicus. That is, first and foremost, my goal. |
| 58712 Aid me in my quest, friend, and I shall have no qualms about aiding you in yours... so long as you give me my due. That is all I ask. |
| 58713 Perhaps you should know that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful mage named Irenicus. That is, first and foremost, my goal. |
| 58714 Perhaps you should know that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful mage named Irenicus. That is, first and foremost, my goal. |
| 58715 Perhaps you should know that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful mage named Irenicus. That is, first and foremost, my goal. |
| 58716 Perhaps you should know that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful mage named Irenicus. That is, first and foremost, my goal. |
| 58717 Perhaps you should know that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful mage named Irenicus. That is, first and foremost, my goal. |
| 58718 Perhaps you should know that I eventually intend to hunt down a powerful mage named Irenicus. That is, first and foremost, my goal. |
| 58719 You will hear the name "traitor" many more times today, Yoshimo, but let me be the first among the group to spit it at you! |
| 58720 I know well the proper punishment for those called traitor to their kind. You will have as much mercy as I have been shown, Yoshimo. Oloth plynn dos, walking corpse. |
| 58721 Lies! You're not going to turn us against each other with your little mind games. |
| 58722 What are you talking about, Irenicus? You have no allies in my group. |
| 58723 What is he talking about, Yoshimo? |
| 58724 Th... things are not as they seem, <CHARNAME>, and for that, I apologize. I can offer no explanation that you would find sufficient. |
| 58725 You are mistaken, of course. I have had my interests taken care of from the beginning. |
| 58726 I have no need to turn you. Your group is fractured as it is. I have had my interests represented well from the beginning. |
| 58727 I... I fear he is correct in this, <CHARNAME>, and I have no excuse that you would find satisfactory. |
| 58728 It... It is a discovery that gives me shame, <CHARNAME>. All is not what I have made it out to be. |
| 58729 You have done as you must, Yoshimo. I have seen to it. Now, is everything as I asked? |
| 58730 So you betray me to the monster? I had thought I earned your trust. |
| 58731 What you earned is of no consequence. I *took* his trust in the beginning. That is all there is to be said. |
| 58733 You are damn right it will! There is nothing lower than a traitor! |
| 58734 We will discuss this later, Yoshimo. You can be assured of that. |
| 58735 I will survive this, despite what you think you had to do. |
| 58736 Let the word be spread by the wind and on wing of bird that a challenge has been completed, and a new Great Druid is appointed! |
| 58737 <CHARNAME> is the Great Druid. Stand tall, for nature will ask much in time. Embody the balance in all that you do. |
| 58738 Yo... Yoshimo? How could you...? How could you?! |
| 58739 Such a turn of heart I cannot stand! You will be cut down for this, thief! So do I swear! |
| 58740 You act just like the nobles I tried to leave behind. They would cast aside their own fathers if it served their goals. I thought you better than that, Yoshimo. |
| 58741 I have no need of your sword. |
| 58742 If you wish, though I would prefer gold. |
| 58743 I don't want your "gifts." |
| 58744 I have no need of your sword. |
| 58745 If you wish, though I would prefer gold. |
| 58746 I don't want your "gifts." |
| 58747 Nonsense! It is a fine blade, and you are more than deserving. I will take no answer other than yes. Now let us cast off and go! We are free! |
| 58748 A betrayal from within our own company! There is no crime more condemned amongst the Order. To abandon your fellows... |
| 58749 Even a paladin slick as the morn would think ye no better than a worm, Yoshimo! I vote we gut this fool thief! |
| 58750 Rest assured, a Red Wizard lets no debt go unpaid, and you, Yoshimo, have just earned more pain than you thought possible. |
| 58751 I... I don't even know how to respond to this sort of treachery, Yoshimo. I thought the evils I would face would be more... black and white. |
| 58752 Contrary to popular perception, the recipe for Jansen Family Fertilizer, which aerates while killing the East Tethyrian turnip-eating digbeetle, was not given freely to the public but rather smuggled out for profit by a third cousin we USED to have. Traitors in the family are the worst kind. |
| 58753 Trust in others, and you eventually get hurt. It is the way I have lived my life and the way that I will continue to do so. |
| 58754 Interesting. An uncertain path opens as the party fractures beneath us. Destruction that was inevitable, though the source is most surprising. |
| 58755 A disturbing shift in balance, Yoshimo. Are you committed to it? What has caused this? |
| 58756 A slap in the face of our trust! A sword to the heart of our confidence! A boot to the prunes of our friendship! Perhaps I go too far, but Boo is absolutely incensed! |
| 58757 Not even a chance for a stand-up fight. Treacherous and cowardly. |
| 58758 I am sure you forced him into whatever deal you have with him. |
| 58759 I have yet to make a judgment on that subject. I'm sure all your words are lies. |
| 58761 And why didn't you?! You will regret not slitting my throat when you had the chance! |
| 58762 Then I am curious why you didn't. You have the opportunity even now. |
| 58763 Is that genuine concern, or are you worried that you will not be paid if I am a corpse? |
| 58764 Don't make this harder than it already is, <CHARNAME>. I can't help you. There are circumstances that you are not aware of. |
| 58765 The excuse of a betrayer. The coward's way out. |
| 58766 Boo hoo. What, was it just too much gold for a sane man to refuse? |
| 58767 Then enlighten me. I know of nothing that would warrant such a betrayal. |
| 58768 Yes, yes, it is the coward's way out. What of it?! What choice do I have when the alternative is death, no matter where I go or what I do?! |
| 58769 I would not deliver a friend to a devil for mere coin! I had... no choice! Death would be my payment if I failed, no matter where I went or what I did! |
| 58770 Death! Death no matter where I would go or what I would do! That is what awaited me if I failed. Can you understand that? |
| 58771 My service was promised long before I was called on to do this! I did not know what would come! I did not know what a filthy creature Irenicus truly was. I did not! |
| 58772 Word is one of the great Houses of Ust Natha is preparing to make a bid for ascendancy. Mother Lolth will be pleased by their boldness. |
| 58773 They say Jarlaxle, the leader of the Bregan D'aerthe mercenary band, is in Ust Natha... Unlikely, as he was recently humiliated by the matron of House Jae'llat. |
| 58774 Everyone is discussing how a relative stranger in the city... a refugee from Ust Natha... has gained favor within House Despana, an unheard-of occurrence. |
| 58775 The other races near Ust Natha are becoming bold. The svirfneblin refused tribute to the matron mothers, and the illithids captured a high-ranking daughter. War seems certain. |
| 58776 The garrisons in the city are almost empty... Word is, most of the drow forces have been sent to war on a neighboring raceâ€â€perhaps the illithids. |
| 58777 There are few soldiers on the streets. The council of matrons ordered each House to contribute the majority of their fighters and mages towards a secret operation. |
| 58778 There are rumors that a sect of the drow god of slimes, Ghaunadaur, have set up a cult in Ust Natha. Mother Lolth will do everything in her power to destroy it. |
| 58779 The head of the mage tower in Ust Natha, Deirex, is allied with the House Jae'llat. The lich-wizard was once a member of the Jae'llat family itself. |
| 58780 Word is the recent surface raid was very successful. Numerous slavesâ€â€of human and other racesâ€â€were taken... even an aboleth! Lolth is pleased. |
| 58781 There has been some kind of coup within the mage tower. The lich, Deirex, has been killed. Some claim Jarlaxle is the cause. |
| 58782 Please, <SIRMAAM>... you said you'd find my momma. *sniffle* Please find her, please! |
| 58785 As for you, we have a fine reward planned, though it is not as much as it might have been. You already have many obligations elsewhere. |
| 58786 Still, you warrant some reward. Take this and go. I thank you, but Talos does not believe in long goodbyes. |
| 58787 Thank you. I will take my leave of you. |
| 58788 I have a question before I go. |
| 58789 And now for you: The Morninglord is pleased. You will be rewarded with his favor. Not as grand a boon as it might have been, but you have other obligations. |
| 58790 Take this with our blessing. May you find what you seek with its aid. |
| 58791 Might I ask a question? |
| 58792 I thank you. I take my leave. |
| 58793 No one will be testing anyone's limits while Yoshimo is involved. Do you hear, fool? Yoshimo! |
| 58794 Yoshimo... inconsequential. Acceptable losses in exchange for the benefits of learning the limits of <CHARNAME>! |
| 58795 Think harder, you fool! That can't be right! |
| 58796 You do not matter. You will be dealt with as is convenient! |
| 58797 Now settle down. Are you in control of yourself? Perhaps I can help you. |
| 58798 Quit speaking in riddles, you Cowled bastard! Where is Imoen?! |
| 58799 You'll take me to Irenicus, and you'll do it now! |
| 58800 You'll take me to Irenicus, and you'll do it now! |
| 58801 With Waukeen, our patron goddess of trade, gone, it's open season in the markets... corruption is everywhere! |
| 58802 For months, those genies have been buying out all our trade... and charging triple the price for everything! Word is they want something from Lord Logan... |
| 58803 It's a good thing those genies are gone. Finally, we can buy what we need without emptying our pockets. It's about time Lord Logan did something about them! |
| 58804 Old Miss Hoyle lost her son during the attacks by the druids' beasts recently. She found her son with his skin eaten clean off. It was a horrible sight! |
| 58805 They say Mazzy Fentan and Patrick and all their companions were lost in an adventure up by Imnesvale. It would be a tragedy if that were true. |
| 58806 Desharik! Hold a moment! Certainly you would have cause to allow me to go to the asylum. I am, after all, the famous Yoshimo. Yoshimo. |
| 58807 Yo... Yoshimo. Well, that is a name that I have heard recently. So you... seek entrance to the asylum, do you? |
| 58808 Yes, yes, I do. It is important that I speak with those inside. <CHARNAME> is aiding me. |
| 58809 I see. Well then, I suppose I have no further objection to letting you go there. Of course, just to protect myself, I will send you under the guise of madness. |
| 58810 However you wish. Just so long as we get there. |
| 58811 I'm sure. You will be on your way shortly then. Give the asylum coordinator my regards when you arrive. |
| 58812 Thank you, I will not forget this. |
| 58813 It's fortunate that Desharik seems to be the only person in Faerûn that *has* heard of you. |
| 58814 Do you two know each other? That went pretty smoothly. |
| 58815 All right, what's going on here, Yoshimo? |
| 58816 It's an embarrassing story that I won't get in to. Suffice to say that Mister Desharik probably thinks that he owes me from a previous debt. Nothing serious. |
| 58817 If that is what you wish to say, then so be it. You are ready to go, I assume? |
| 58818 Yes, take us now. |
| 58819 No, I'd rather not enter this way. |
| 58820 Then you are on your way, and may the gods have mercy on you when you arrive. I wouldn't wish the place on anyone. Well, anyone I like. |
| 58821 Look, I have no time for these games. Do you want to go or not? I'll not ask again. This is risky enough for me without you wasting my time. |
| 58822 No, I'll take my chances somewhere else. |
| 58823 Let's go. |
| 58824 <CHARNAME>, it's the opportunity we needed. We should get inside as soon as we can. |
| 58825 Very well. Bother me no more on the subject. I have better things to do. |
| 58826 <CHARNAME>, do not let Minsc speak for us. I know I can get us in without getting us killed or making us look like fools. I know I can do this. We must hurry. |
| 58827 Let Minsc say what he must. I enjoy him. |
| 58828 Very well, Yoshimo. Speak to Desharik then. |
| 58829 I feel as though I am in a fight for myself! Like I must battle my own thoughts! |
| 58830 <CHARNAME>, as much as I would like to act out this game, I think I should speak and hurry this up. We must arrive at the asylum soon. Very soon. |
| 58831 No, Yoshimo. I have the charisma to pull it off. My thoughts are in turmoil, Desharik! |
| 58832 Very well, if you think you know what to say. |
| 58833 That is what I have just directed, yes. |
| 58834 Very well. I will do as you say. |
| 58835 No, no, I don't think that is how this is going to work, fish. |
| 58836 Fish? Perhaps I have not made my thoughts clear. |
| 58837 Oh no, I understand completely. I simply refuse. What's more, I'm telling you to shut up. |
| 58838 Perfectly. I'm simply going to ignore you. Threaten as you will, but I refuse. |
| 58839 My apologies; I meant no offense. I will do as you say. |
| 58840 I have outlined the threat I intend. I do not bluff. Fear me. |
| 58841 You are in no position to act on your threats. I will tell *you* what to do. |
| 58842 Fear you? You are a fish in a tank. I am through taking threats that mean nothing. |
| 58843 I have warned you! |
| 58844 And now I warn you! I will reveal your treachery if you breathe a word of this! |
| 58845 And I have listened. I do not fear you, and I will do nothing for you. |
| 58846 All right, I'll do it. |
| 58847 Don't worry, I'll do it. |
| 58848 What? |
| 58849 You cannot harm me, or I will expose you too. I die, you die. Simple. So shut up! |
| 58850 I refuse. Call your alarm, and I will make sure you die as well. I am through talking. |
| 58851 Actually, I just wanted to show who was in control. I'll do what you ask. |
| 58852 You are a strange individual. I release you to avoid trouble for us both. Leave me, volatile one. |
| 58853 A pleasure to have made your acquaintance. |
| 58854 You'd better believe it. See ya. |
| 58855 You are dismissed. Go! |
| 58856 I actually collected some of the blood from the elder brain when I was at the illithid city earlier. Will this do? |
| 58857 I have already encountered an elder orb... I have some of its blood here. |
| 58858 I think I already met the kuo-toa you spoke of, and I have some of its blood here. |
| 58859 You... you have already...? Yes. Yes, you have! I have attuned my magic to sense this blood, but I did not think to look for it on you! |
| 58860 Very well, I will do my best. |
| 58861 Of course you will. Go now and begin your task. |
| 58862 Forget it! I have no intention of helping you with anything you plan! |
| 58863 A pity. It seems you were wrong about this one, my daughter. Now it is time to kill <PRO_HIMHER> and find another pawn. So be it. |
| 58864 Yes, I'd like to see what you have available. |
| 58865 Hi there, goof. |
| 58866 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 58867 Its eyes brighten, and it practically leaps into your arms, ready to be stowed amongst your belongings, where it can sleep and occasionally poke its head out. |
| 58868 Come here. You're going in my pack for now. |
| 58869 Come here. You're going in my pack for now. |
| 58870 It rolls its eyes. "Oh, sure. Stick me in your smelly pack. Ever thought of sticking some mint in there? Baaah..." It reluctantly crawls in. |
| 58871 It rolls its eyes. "Oh, sure. Stick me in your smelly pack. Ever thought of sticking some mint in there? Baaah..." It reluctantly crawls in. |
| 58872 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 58873 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 58874 The familiar eyes your pack for a moment, and then reluctantly crawls inside. "Very well. It is better that you carry me. Do not bump me around so much this time, however." |
| 58875 The familiar eyes your pack for a moment, and then reluctantly crawls inside. "Very well. It is better that you carry me. Do not bump me around so much this time, however." |
| 58876 I am very grateful to you for rescuing us from that... that horrible little gnome. He killed so many of us... so casually... it was horrible! |
| 58877 I am very glad that whole ordeal is over! I didn't think it was ever going to end! |
| 58878 Is... is it safe now? Are we free? |
| 58879 I... I laughed at Kalah along with everyone else, but... but I never thought it would come to this... |
| 58880 Quayle has decided to keep the circus going... at least for a while longer. We're going to have to replace everyone who died before we can move on, anyway. |
| 58881 I'd ask you to play a game or two, my <LADYLORD>, but Quayle says we aren't to cheat you. One has to make a living, you know... |
| 58882 Business has been pretty good, considering what happened. We should have enough money to leave the city soon... |
| 58883 Excuse me, I'm just here to find a few things... |
| 58884 Wonderful place, isn't it? My friends keep on telling me that you can find almost anything here. |
| 58885 They say that Ribald was once a great adventurer himself. I wonder if that's true? Maybe it's how he collected all this... this merchandise. |
| 58886 This is such a large place... how will I ever find what I'm looking for? |
| 58887 I've no interest in talking to you, <SIRMAAM>. I'm only here to do some shopping, that's all. |
| 58888 I am undecided. |
| 58889 Well, I thank you for coming. |
| 58890 Of all the gravest slights! Yer kindred's spots betray ye for the backstabbing jackals ye are! We'd a covenant, and ye've broken that deal! |
| 58891 It's in Fate's hand I don't butcher the disgraceful lot of ye! Farewell, cretins, and nae stop lookin' over yer shoulders, 'cause death doth carry an axe. |
| 58892 Then let us posthaste! |
| 58893 Yer excuses are addled with nonsense and lies! Good riddance! |
| 58894 Ye'd all be wise to recall that I'm not in this group with ye. Ye're in this group with me! |
| 58895 It's not like I had a choice. |
| 58896 Oh please! I get the feeling I am just not welcome here. |
| 58897 Yes, yes. Pleasantries aside, what is it that you want? |
| 58898 Thank you for proving friendly. I was not looking forward to another fight. |
| 58899 So... who are you, and why should I listen to you? |
| 58900 I long for nothing other than not letting the sorry long-limb lot of ye live! Fare thee well, fools, for ye ne'er know what bears down upon ye while ye sleep. |
| 58901 I agree. You still don't. Realizing that will make things easier. |
| 58902 You are not. Do not look to me to be your friend or confidant. I seek very specific things from you. |
| 58903 You will mourn the loss of these "pleasantries" very soon. I am not here to pamper you. |
| 58905 Yes, well, I am here to determine exactly what it is you *were* looking for. A battle may yet be warranted. |
| 58906 Ehhh... something I should bring up to ye, <CHARNAME>. Now that the business with Shagbag an' me former mates be laid to rest, I be reminded of a former arrangement I've made. |
| 58907 There be a man who were eager to hire me an' the others fer a bounty job. 'Twas no great thing, just a show of interest, but I've no desire to see me reputation go up in smoke, aye? |
| 58908 I know nae about the job, but gold always looks good. Since I seem to be travelin' with the lot of ye, perhaps we could go to the fellow an' hear his offer, aye? |
| 58909 Who is this man you're talking about? |
| 58910 We could go and see this man, but I'm not sure we have time to take any offers. |
| 58911 I've no interest is such a matter, Korgan. |
| 58912 Forget it, dwarf. It was bad enough traveling with you through the tomb; I'm not about to prolong the agony any further. |
| 58913 Forget it, dwarf. It was bad enough traveling with you through the tomb; I'm not about to prolong the agony any further. |
| 58914 He said his name be Madeen, representing some wizard or other. He said his master were needin' adventurers willing to work fer a good pile o' coin. It sounded fair enough. |
| 58915 He told me he would be out in front of the government building in the Government District and keep a looks out for me and me crew. Mayhap we could go and see this Madeen. |
| 58916 There be no rush on the matter, <CHARNAME>. I just nae be wanting to see some other eager adventurer snap up this Madeen's offer an' call Korgan a bowelhive, is all. |
| 58917 Well, if ye've nae an interest, ye've nae an interest. So be it. If ye change yer mind, the man be named Madeen and said he could be found in the Government District. |
| 58918 Well, ye might have mentioned it sooner, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. I've better to do than hang about an' listen to yer bellyaches. Ye've helped me track Shagbag, an' that be fair enough. |
| 58919 If ye gathers enough courage again, come an' find me at the Copper Coronet. Otherwise, keep yer yellow legs well and far away. |
| 58920 First, ye lets Shagbag get away with the loot from yon tomb, an' now ye're berating me, is it? Bah! I've enough of yer bellyaching! If it be such a trial for ye, I be gone! |
| 58921 Will we be heading to see the Madeen fellow soon, <CHARNAME>? I know ye be a busy <PRO_MANWOMAN>, but it be me own reputation at stake here. I say we go and see what it's about. |
| 58922 So we be not heading to see the Madeen fellow, aye? Ye're a hard-arsed mule, <CHARNAME>. But as long as we be collectin' gold, I'll be saying nothing more of it. |
| 58923 Not to be a mite, <CHARNAME>, but we agreed to find the ranger pup for the bloody wizard, aye? Let's get a move on and do that before I loses me patience. |
| 58924 Exactly the same question I was going to put to you, though I am in a better position to make demands, I think. |
| 58925 I shall keep this brief, as I have little time to waste on you. A few questions are all I need regardless. |
| 58926 You will get no answers from me if I am to be your prisoner. |
| 58927 Ask what you will. I have nothing to hide from you. |
| 58928 This is ALL a waste of time! Irenicus remains free while I am stuck here! |
| 58929 I will cooperate. I suspect we are after the same person. I seek Irenicus. |
| 58930 I would advise you to answer truthfully and completely. No answer is an answer in itself, placing you firmly in league with our enemies. |
| 58931 I will ask some things of you, and you will speak what you know. My sages will detect any falsehood. They are very good at that sort of thing. |
| 58932 I was told that perhaps you might know something of that person, and I am very interested in learning exactly what. |
| 58933 Now then, something simple and direct to begin with. You emerged from the home of the drow. Were you fleeing, or are you in league with them? |
| 58934 I was fleeing their dark realm. |
| 58935 If that means hating you, then yeah, I'm in league with them. |
| 58936 Neither. Any association with them was a means to an end. My goals are separate. |
| 58937 I left them bloody and battered. I did not flee. |
| 58938 Truth. |
| 58939 I concur. Truth. |
| 58940 False. |
| 58941 False. This person is no ally of the drow. |
| 58942 A truth. Well, a good start. You are currently not an ally of the drow. This tells me nothing of your motives though. |
| 58943 A lie, and had I believed it, your death would be certain. You are fortunate my sages can see through such games. |
| 58944 So you are not an ally of the drow. That is fortunate, though it does not tell me of your current goals. |
| 58945 Excuse me, miss... but you would be named Aerie, yes? The young elven lass that was Quayle's apprentice in the circus? |
| 58946 Let us continue. A name, then, that you may know something of. Irenicus. Do you know of him? |
| 58947 No idea who you are talking about. |
| 58948 Of course. He is the reason that I have come all this way. |
| 58949 I battled my way through the Underdark seeking his black heart! Yes, I know him! |
| 58950 My business with Irenicus is my own concern. |
| 58951 I... I was. But Quayle is dead now. Why? What is this about? |
| 58952 Well, yes. Why? Has something happened to Uncle Quayle? What is this about? |
| 58953 Very, very well. |
| 58954 Oh, no, no. Nothing's happened to him, miss. He gave me a very good description of you, in fact, and asked me to track you down. |
| 58955 A lie, <PRO_HESHE> knows the name well. |
| 58956 Oh, that is unfortunate. You choose to lie about your knowledge and possible association with a fiend and a criminal. Foolish. |
| 58957 He mentioned that you and your new companions may be able to help him out with something, and asks that you return to the circus to see him as soon as you can, miss. |
| 58958 Uncle Quayle needs my help? Then we should go back to the circus! Oh, <CHARNAME>, please... I couldn't bear the thought of him needing me and not being able to go! Please! |
| 58959 Strong truth. |
| 58960 Very much so. The association is clear. |
| 58961 Absolute truth. |
| 58962 No doubt at all, on both answers. |
| 58963 Well, I've done as I were asked, miss, so I really should be going. A good day to you all. |
| 58964 Shall we try to determine how much you know, how far your association goes? Are you in league with Irenicus? |
| 58965 So you admit to knowledge of a fiend and criminal. I will have to push this further. Perhaps you are a window to his plans. |
| 58966 Well... it is just that I were commissioned to deliver a letter to Quayle, and with him being... with him being dead and all, I was told you should receive it... |
| 58967 Well, that is somewhat reassuring. Your bloodlust certainly illustrates your true feelings about him. |
| 58968 Oh sure, I've chased him through the Underdark because I am in league with him. |
| 58969 No, I seek his greasy black heart on a pike, and I grow tired of you delaying it! |
| 58970 No, I am not. He is our common enemy. |
| 58971 A letter? Somebody sent Uncle Quayle a letter? |
| 58972 Yes, miss. I hereby deliver it into your hands. Now, I really must be on my way. Good day to you all. |
| 58973 A lie. There is no association. |
| 58974 I agree. They are not in league. |
| 58975 You lie out of jest, I assume. Perhaps I should dismiss my sages and let you hang yourself? No more games, if you please. I don't have time for them. |
| 58976 Truth. It seems <PRO_HESHE> believes this wholeheartedly. |
| 58977 Truth. |
| 58978 I am glad to hear as such. My guards have better things to do than be waiting to execute you. |
| 58979 Nevertheless, I am glad to know you share no association with Irenicus. Such a relationship would have meant your death. |
| 58980 This has put me more at ease. Whatever manner of creature you are, we are on the same side in this instance at least. |
| 58981 They will pay close attention to your next statement, especially since you are already damned for having a drow traveling with you. |
| 58982 Oh sure, I have Viconia, don't I? That means I *must* be a servant of the drow. |
| 58983 Oh, I am *so* glad you are happy. Can I go now? |
| 58984 It is as I told you. Why wouldn't you believe me to begin with? |
| 58985 Are we done then? No offense, but I have things I must do. |
| 58986 You are certainly less of a threat than I first imagined, but do not think you are welcome yet. This area is still at risk, and I will not take chances. |
| 58987 Especially since there is still the matter of the drow you bring with you. I will return to her later, rest assured. |
| 58988 For now, I will apprise you of the situation, and you will realize why travel in this area is to be restricted. |
| 58989 Well, let's see. I'll read it to you. It's... from a friend of Quayle's, Raelis Shai. Odd... I don't remember ever hearing of her. But Quayle had a lot of old friends, I guess. |
| 58990 You might have received a warmer welcome, but Irenicus has triggered the strongest of emotions where'er he has trod. |
| 58991 He has stepped beyond all bounds of decency, and our very city is under the weight of his thumb. Suldanessellar is simply gone. |
| 58992 "My dearest friend, Quayle. We have not seen each other since your all-too-brief journey to my former home. I was pleased to hear, recently, that you had come to this city. |
| 58993 It has only been concealed, but we cannot penetrate the magics that have hidden it. We are forced to remain here, pestered by drow while supplies falter. |
| 58994 "I would like to see you again, both to renew our old acquaintance and, embarrassingly, because I need the aid of your years of adventuring experience as well. |
| 58995 "Please come and see me as soon as possible in the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons Inn in the Bridge District here in Athkatla. I look forward to welcoming you. "Your friend always, Raelis Shai." |
| 58996 If Uncle Quayle knew this Raelis and she needs his help... then we should go and see her, <CHARNAME>, and help her. Quayle would have wanted that. Please, <CHARNAME>? Could we? |
| 58997 Drow that were incited by Irenicus and the bargains he made in the Underdark. |
| 58998 I see. You were likely drawn out to protect the temple that now lacks a guardian. |
| 58999 He bears some great hatred for this city and someone named Ellesime? |
| 59000 It would seem your travels have given you quite a bit of insight into the plans Irenicus has made. I wonder if you might be of service to us. |
| 59001 Uncle Quayle! It is good to see you again! Is... is everything all right? You sent somebody to ask me to come? |
| 59002 Truth. |
| 59003 Yes, <PRO_HESHE> knows much of this. |
| 59004 What has this to do with me? |
| 59005 You obviously bear no love for Irenicus, making you the enemy of our enemy. Classically speaking, this might make you our friend. |
| 59006 And even if you are not, you cannot reach Irenicus without helping us. He is untouchable, save for one possibility. |
| 59007 Possibly, but only if you call off your little sages. I have proven trustworthy. |
| 59008 I wonder if you will stop your sages examining every word I say! It's annoying! |
| 59009 I might be. If you think you can trust me. |
| 59010 Within the temple was an artifact of great power: the Rhynn Lanthorn. It is an ancient lantern, etched with the oldest of runes. |
| 59011 Someone stole the relic when the temple fell to the drow. Obviously, it was a servant of Irenicus capitalizing on the chaos of the battle. |
| 59012 Aerie! It is always good to see you! And, yes... I did ask you to come. With <CHARNAME> and <PRO_HISHER> friends, I think you can help me. Or one of my friends, rather. |
| 59013 The Lanthorn is attuned to the elven nation, and no magic can bar its return to elven lands. We could simply walk to Suldanessellar if we had possession of it. |
| 59014 I'd be happy to. Which friend are you talking about? |
| 59015 No one you know of, my dear. A lass I met in my earlier days, when I happened to find myself in the Outer Planes. That's a long story I won't get into. |
| 59018 Speak, then. |
| 59019 She is here in Athkatla and has herself in a bit of a bind. She wrote me a letter asking for my help... but you and <CHARNAME> may be able to help more than I. |
| 59020 We have not been able to determine where the thief went, despite the best efforts of our sages. It makes me think that the Lanthorn is no longer in elven territory. |
| 59021 I'd be happy to help her, Uncle Quayle. That is... if <CHARNAME> thinks we have the time. What... what do you think, <CHARNAME>? |
| 59022 It wouldn't hurt to see if we can help out. |
| 59023 We might be able to help, but not right now. |
| 59024 We've no time for such things, Aerie. |
| 59025 There's no rush on such a thing. If you find the time, her name is Raelis Shai. She can be found at the playhouse beneath the Five Flagons Inn in the Bridge District. |
| 59026 If you can't help her... well, then you can't help her. But Raelis is a dear heart, and it would do an old gnome's heart good if you could try. |
| 59027 I'm sure we can find some time to at least speak to her, Uncle Quayle. |
| 59028 I hope so. It's been good to see you again, dear one. Be safe. |
| 59029 I hope you get the time to see Raelis soon. Like I said, she was an... old friend. I'm sure you'll do what suits you, though. |
| 59030 You've gone to see Raelis, have you? Good. I hope that you were able to be of some help to her. It would do my heart good to know that she is safe. |
| 59031 It must have been Bodhi. Only she would have been trusted with such a thing. |
| 59032 I don't know who it was for sure, but I might be able to look outside elven territory for you. |
| 59033 I think it might have been Bodhi, Irenicus's sister. I know her stomping grounds well. |
| 59034 What's it worth to you to find out? |
| 59035 I heard what happened at the playhouse. She's dead, isn't she? Ahhhh, I should have known better than to send someone else. I'm too old for this... too old... |
| 59036 Your life. You may not be in league with Irenicus, but if you choose not to help, you ally yourself with him through inaction. As I said, we cannot take chances. |
| 59037 Truth. |
| 59038 I... I really would like to go and see Uncle Quayle. I want to make sure he's okay if nothing else. Could we... could we go to the circus soon? Please, <CHARNAME>? |
| 59039 Stop doing that! I'm willing to help, all right?! |
| 59040 Yes, as I said. |
| 59041 I really would like to... go and see Raelis, <CHARNAME>. We could at least talk to her, if it isn't too much trouble? For Quayle's sake if nothing else... |
| 59042 I suppose you think we don't have time to go and see this Raelis Quayle mentioned. *sigh* Well... if we are near the Five Flagons sometime, maybe we could drop in? I would like that. |
| 59043 Truth. |
| 59044 Stop that already! |
| 59045 As I said. I cannot help if you don't trust me. |
| 59046 Bodhi... hmm, you may know more than we about this situation after all. I propose we exchange our services. |
| 59047 You are not helping the situation with this. |
| 59048 You are not helping the situation any, you know. |
| 59049 Then feel the might of TRUE power! |
| 59050 I have reservations about this. Why does Irenicus hate you and your city? |
| 59051 No, I propose you tell me what in blazes Irenicus has against you people? |
| 59052 I propose you volunteer as much information as you have taken from me! |
| 59053 Perhaps you will be able to help in our search after all. You seem to know much about Irenicus and who might be working for him. I propose a trade of service. |
| 59054 Ungh! |
| 59055 I have reservations about this. Why does Irenicus hate you and your city? |
| 59056 No, I propose you tell me what in blazes Irenicus has against you people? |
| 59057 I propose you volunteer as much information as you have taken from me! |
| 59058 I cannot say more than I have. Perhaps if I had access to the city, I would have insight, but as it stands, I am in the same situation you are. |
| 59059 The attack came without warning, born in the mind of a human we did not know. This was not in the realm of possibility, and it remains as such. |
| 59060 He has dealt with drow, defiled our temple, and violated our city. His name is to be spit and spoken of as rarely as possible. He is all that elves are not! |
| 59061 It would help if I knew what was really going on here. |
| 59062 It would help if I knew what was really going on here. |
| 59063 If you know how to find the treacherous servant of this fiend, I suggest that you do it. You seek Irenicus; we seek Irenicus. To help us is to help yourself. |
| 59064 Umm... excuse me, sir. Y-y-you... you look like a warrior. Are... are you a warrior? C-c-could you help me? |
| 59065 Find the Lanthorn. Seek outside elven lands in whatever location you think an important servant of Irenicus would be. Only then will we reach this man. |
| 59066 I will need supplies, and I might need help facing Bodhi. |
| 59067 His servant may be more than I can handle. I will need whatever help you can give. |
| 59068 And what can you do for me to aid in this? |
| 59069 Minsc and Boo are the greatest of warriors, small one! I will crush your foes into little foe-shaped chunky bits! Who dares pick on you? Just point the way! |
| 59070 I... I don't have any foes, sir... |
| 59071 No foes? I am relieved. I trust those who prey on children no farther than they can be thrown, even if I manage to throw them pretty far, and throw them I shall! |
| 59072 What?! Boo is outraged! See his fury! It's small, so look close. Trust me, it's there. What is wrong with your village, small one? How can we heroes help? |
| 59073 Minsc has been inside out and angry before, and it is never a good thing. Sometimes it frightens even Boo. |
| 59074 N-no... not mad as in angry, sir. Mad as in c-c-crazy... |
| 59075 Oh! Minsc has never been crazy, no sir. Being inside out was bad enough! Is there more, little boy? |
| 59076 Then heroes are certainly needed! Heroes like Minsc and Boo and <CHARNAME>! Where is your village, small one? Together we will save the day! |
| 59077 We cannot march on human territory. As great as our problems are, they would only get worse if we appeared to be sending agents into the cities of Amn. |
| 59078 Nothing removes fear better than a good sword and a swift kick in the evil! We shall go to your village and do what heroes do, right, <CHARNAME>? |
| 59079 You have traveled extensively; return to the groups you have already encountered and ask their aid. I am sure you will find some among them to help you. |
| 59080 Right you are, Minsc! |
| 59081 Well... as long as the reward is decent, we could always take a look. |
| 59082 I don't know if we have time, Minsc, but we'll see. |
| 59083 Forget it, Minsc. We're not running off on some fool's errand. |
| 59084 They need not know the nature of the emergency, only that a great evil must be routed. The less who know of the shame brought by Irenicus, the better. |
| 59085 Can you help with special supplies? Holy water and stakes come to mind. |
| 59086 Ugh! My... brethren... shall make you PAY...! |
| 59087 I will do what I can, though Bodhi is very strong. Have you holy water and stakes? |
| 59088 There is always time to save the day! Don't worry, small one, we will go to your village as soon as I restore <CHARNAME> to <PRO_HISHER> senses. That is my job. |
| 59089 Kicking the posterior of evil is never a fool's errand! Hmm, <CHARNAME> is not <PRO_HISHER> usual heroic self today. An evil influence? Or have <PRO_HISHER> thoughts wandered elsewhere? |
| 59090 Since <CHARNAME> is out of <PRO_HISHER> mind, I must step up as a hero should. We go to your village as soon as <CHARNAME> is better. So swear Minsc and Boo. |
| 59091 Er... Boo wonders what you need a warrior for when you have no foes? |
| 59093 Boo is curious and keeps bringing up the question of when we will travel to the Imnesvale village, and I heartily agree! We are heroes, and they are in need of heroesâ€â€it is a match even Minsc can see! |
| 59094 We must go where evil is in most need of a beating, so Minsc will leave that decision up to you, <CHARNAME>. Still... we must not disappoint the little boy. |
| 59095 Did Minsc miss something? Did we already go and save the Imnesvale village? Boo demands that it is not so, but I cannot remember. Surely we would not shirk out heroic duty for so long! It cannot be! |
| 59096 I have such things. The water is exceptionally potent and will prove effective against those that wronged the temple. The wrath of the Seldarine is in each vial. |
| 59097 It sounds as though you know the nature of the creature you must face. Your service is now doubly appreciated. |
| 59098 Before I go, what did you say about shame? What shame has Irenicus caused you? |
| 59099 I'm sure it will. I will set to my task immediately. |
| 59100 And I will appreciate being out from under your bootheel. |
| 59101 I will get by without your help, then. |
| 59102 Shame? What shame has he caused you? |
| 59103 It is not your concern. His deeds will be apparent when we reach him. Until then, you should begin your task. |
| 59104 Ahhh... perhaps this is a good time to tell you of something, <CHARNAME>, seeing as you are leading us into the docks and everything. |
| 59105 As you wish, though I have set aside some special supplies that you may find of use. Holy water from our temple and stakes from the trees around it. |
| 59106 Thank you, I was about to ask for just that. |
| 59107 And why do you think I need such things? Do you know what I go to face? |
| 59108 Yes, yes, everything but your actual physical presence. I am oh so grateful. |
| 59109 This is Shadow Thief territory... which I have had a couple of run-ins with over the past few months. They don't tend to appreciate independent operators like myself. |
| 59110 So the last time they caught me operating in the city, I was told either to report to the head of the guild in the docks, Renal Bloodscalp, or suffer the consequences. |
| 59111 Seems that Renal needs an outsider to deal with a problem and was willing to trade my punishment by the guild for a service. Failure to go to him... might be a bit messy. |
| 59112 It is not your concern. His deeds will be apparent when we reach him. Until then, you should begin your task. |
| 59113 What were you saying about the shame he has caused? |
| 59114 Now, I'm pretty safe with you, I'd think, but it's up to you. If we go and see Renal, we might be able to talk him into a reward, and it'll avoid complications later on. |
| 59115 What do you think, <CHARNAME>? I don't want to cause any problems here. I just wanted to bring this up, both to warn you and perhaps mention a possible opportunity for us both. |
| 59116 I will begin immediately. |
| 59117 I appreciate being out from under your bootheel. |
| 59118 I still have reservations about this, but I have little choice. |
| 59119 Very well. Perhaps we should go and talk to this Renal. |
| 59120 Perhaps later. We've no time for this right now. |
| 59121 I've no interest working with the Shadow Thieves period, Yoshimo. |
| 59123 I still have reservations about this, but I have little choice. |
| 59124 Whenever it's convenient... the guild headquarters is here in the docks and shouldn't be difficult to find. I just hope they let us in without... problems. |
| 59125 Well, I wouldn't wait too long. The Bloodscalp's got a fearsome reputation. Still, I've no real fear of him. We can do as we wish. |
| 59126 We have talked long. I will make sure the guards know you are free to come and go. |
| 59127 All speed to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 59128 No? I would think they could at least offer decent information. They have power here, <CHARNAME>... power enough even to help you. But it's your decision. |
| 59129 Unfortunately, I must bring up a final point of contention. I said I would return to the drow, and now is the time. I will not allow her to accompany you. |
| 59130 I'm sure. Is there anything else? |
| 59131 You spoke of shame. What shame has he caused you? |
| 59132 I still have reservations about this, but I have little choice. |
| 59133 Nothing, I will simply appreciate being out from under your bootheel. |
| 59134 I will set to my task with all speed. |
| 59135 Hmmm. If we are going to pay the Bloodscalp a visit, <CHARNAME>, perhaps we should not wait so long. Perhaps soon we might pay the guildmaster a visit, yes? |
| 59136 You must be prepared for anything. The cause is too important, the peril too great for carelessness. You were about to ask for some sort of help, I am certain. |
| 59137 You do not intend to see Renal Bloodscalp anytime soon, do you? Ahhh, no matter. If you change your mind, however, I have little doubt the man would still wish to see us. |
| 59138 You are an unhealthy risk. I will not allow it. |
| 59139 Well, just kill her then. That will solve your little problem. |
| 59140 I cannot do this without the group I am familiar with. She must go with me. |
| 59141 Very well, there is one way that I will allow her to partake in our plans. She must first swear loyalty to you and your cause, <CHARNAME>. |
| 59142 And she must agree to a geas. That is the only way. |
| 59143 Such talk does not endear me to you. Do you agree or do you not? |
| 59144 With the casting of this spell, all my doubt is removed. Viconia, you are bound to the task, and I fear no treachery. Let death be the threat if I am wrong. |
| 59145 <CHARNAME>, I wish you well in your goals. All Suldanessellar depends upon your success. |
| 59146 You return. All has been relatively quiet here. I believe the drow were mostly satisfied with the destruction of our temple. They have made no further serious advancement. Yet. |
| 59147 My sages detect no artifact. You have not secured the Lanthorn yet? Remember, I suggested getting help from those you met in your travels if you are in need. |
| 59148 You have the Lanthorn! It is in the hands of the murderous vampire Bodhi no longer! I feel the tide of this crisis is certainly changing. |
| 59149 You must have made mention of it. You obviously had some idea who it might have been. We questioned you for quite a while, you recall. |
| 59150 Perhaps not, but you did ask for holy water and stakes. One needs only put two and two together to make the correct assumption. |
| 59151 Yes, Bodhi... but you claimed you did not know who stole the Lanthorn... |
| 59152 Yes, and she talked a lot before I killed her. You have been withholding information. |
| 59153 I never mentioned that name to you. You said you did not know who took the Lanthorn. |
| 59154 I do not see Imoen with you. Has she withered to nothing just as I was destined to, or are you hiding her away from me? It doesn't really matter. |
| 59155 There is no escape for you now, vampire! I'll have your black heart on a pike! |
| 59156 You help those treacherous elves?! They deserve all they receive, and more! They will not even approach us while we destroy them, such is their arrogance! |
| 59157 Let them shiver in fear that they will die between me and Irenicus! They would not even acknowledge us as their own, and now we will bury them all! |
| 59158 ...How did you come to return here? You should have thought I was in Suldanessellar... They told you of the theft, didn't they?! |
| 59159 Why should they acknowledge your filth?! I do not blame them in the least! |
| 59160 What do you mean, as their own? Elves rarely allow outsiders of any kind in their cities. |
| 59161 Elhan did not even know of you! How could he acknowledge you as his own? |
| 59162 Fool! They would have you think we are some foreign intruders, attacking their city for no reason! Their shame is that Irenicus and I are very familiar indeed! |
| 59163 No *elf* would dare turn against the others, no *elf* would endanger the very fabric of their society, no *elf* would do as Irenicus and I have done! |
| 59164 Who was it that pled their case? Elhan? He stood by while they echoed our crimes in their punishments! |
| 59165 I should almost let you live so that he could have the shame of an outsider questioning him about this whole matter! Almost! |
| 59166 Your part in this ends here, <CHARNAME>. I shall feast on the blood of the gods while you enter death with questions unanswered! |
| 59167 But... no, I have already prepared much for this meeting, <CHARNAME>. I did warn you that you would suffer great loss if you continued your push towards me. I did not lie. |
| 59168 You have taken too much already! You will return both Imoen's soul and Jaheira! |
| 59169 You have taken too much already! You will return both Imoen's soul and Aerie! |
| 59170 You have taken too much already! You will return both Imoen's soul and Viconia! |
| 59171 You have taken too much already! You will return both Imoen's soul and Anomen! |
| 59172 And you have delivered on that promise. Return Jaheira and perhaps I will be merciful. |
| 59173 And you have delivered on that promise. Return Aerie and perhaps I will be merciful. |
| 59174 And you have delivered on that promise. Return Viconia and perhaps I will be merciful. |
| 59175 And you have delivered on that promise. Return Anomen and perhaps I will be merciful. |
| 59176 I would have hunted you for your theft of Jaheira alone. She is very important to me. |
| 59177 I would have hunted you for your theft of Aerie alone. She is very important to me. |
| 59178 I would have hunted you for your theft of Viconia alone. She is very important to me. |
| 59179 I would have hunted you for your theft of Anomen alone. He is very important to me. |
| 59180 You place too much confidence in sentiment. The theft of Jaheira will not save you. |
| 59181 You place too much confidence in sentiment. The theft of Aerie will not save you. |
| 59182 You place too much confidence in sentiment. The theft of Viconia will not save you. |
| 59183 You place too much confidence in sentiment. The theft of Anomen will not save you. |
| 59184 An interesting ploy, though I am sure her fate will still serve as an example, whether you wish her back or not. |
| 59185 An interesting ploy, though I am sure her fate will still serve as an example, whether you wish her back or not. |
| 59186 An interesting ploy, though I am sure her fate will still serve as an example, whether you wish her back or not. |
| 59187 An interesting ploy, though I am sure his fate will still serve as an example, whether you wish him back or not. |
| 59188 So let us end this, with your life crushed by the hand of your vampiric love. You won't even be reunited in death. They are mine as long as I live! |
| 59189 How do you know that? I mentioned her name, but never said she was a vampire. |
| 59190 Yes, and she said a lot before she fell. I don't suppose you'd know what she said? |
| 59191 Anything said by her or the Exile, Irenicus, must be treated as suspect! You would do well not to repeat their tales to those that do not need to know them! |
| 59192 Yes, I recall, but I *never* said her name to you. You knew about her. Why lie? |
| 59193 Possible, but I never said she was a vampire. Why lie about knowing of her? |
| 59194 Liar! I am through being used! Why have you lied to me about knowing her?! |
| 59195 Stop trying to lie to me! I never said anything about her being a vampire! |
| 59196 Except I *never* asked for water or stakes. *You* offered them. Why are you lying? |
| 59197 That is quite the reach in logic. Come now, should I go into detail about what Bodhi said? |
| 59198 Ridiculous. Why bother with this dance? I know you are hiding something. Bodhi was clear on this. |
| 59199 Liar! You offered those things to me! I DID NOT ASK for them. What are you hiding? |
| 59200 This Bodhi is not known to any elf! Neither is the Exile, Irenicus! They do not exist in our eyes, and you would benefit by shutting yours to them as well! |
| 59201 This is ridiculous. Bodhi knew you well enough, though she was not flattering. |
| 59202 No! This is... This is not for you to know. |
| 59203 So, Irenicus is now "the Exile." That's not a name for a stranger. Perhaps I should ask around. |
| 59204 It's awfully hard to know what not to say when I don't know what it is I shouldn't say! |
| 59205 Damn it, Elhan! I'm not lifting a finger until I know what is going on! |
| 59206 So, Irenicus is now "the Exile." That's not a name for a stranger. Perhaps I should ask around. |
| 59207 It's awfully hard to know what not to say when I don't know what it is I shouldn't say! |
| 59208 Damn it, Elhan! I'm not lifting a finger until I know what is going on! |
| 59209 I can't help if I don't know what is behind all of this, Elhan. Talk to me. |
| 59210 I can't help if I don't know what is behind all of this, Elhan. Talk to me. |
| 59211 Even though you are an elf, you are an outsider. This should not be known to you or anyone. It is a shame we had buried. |
| 59212 I can't tell you, <CHARNAME>. It is not my place to do so. The Exiles, this Irenicus and Bodhi, are criminals. Their crime was great, their punishment greater. |
| 59213 And so he has returned for some sort of revenge. I fail to see the great shame in this. |
| 59214 That tells me nothing. Talking to you is a waste of time. |
| 59215 So a great evil befell you with these outsiders, so what? |
| 59216 You do not understand, and I am not prepared to make you. If you wish to know more, you'll have to talk to one of those involved. |
| 59217 Demin the high priestess, she will tell you. We will have to breach the city to find her. Fortunately, my sages have instructed me in the use of the Lanthorn. |
| 59218 Elhan! I've the half-vampire body of Jaheira here because of you! You'll tell me now! |
| 59219 Elhan! I've the half-vampire body of Aerie here because of you! You'll tell me now! |
| 59220 Elhan! I've the half-vampire body of Viconia here because of you! You'll tell me now! |
| 59221 Elhan! I've the half-vampire body of Anomen here because of you! You'll tell me now! |
| 59222 I am sorry for your loss, but this is not for you to know! Perhaps one of my sages can help you, but... |
| 59223 Demin may also be able to help with your fallen friend, though I don't know. I have never heard talk about a cure for partially turned vampires. |
| 59224 Follow, <CHARNAME>, we must let the Lanthorn lead us to Suldanessellar. I can only hope that the Exile will have left us a city to find. |
| 59225 We must go, but most of my elves must remain to hold the drow. We must not be struggling on two fronts when we face what is in the city. |
| 59226 It is here. I can feel it. The Lanthorn is almost buzzing; there can be no mistake. Stand back, and I shall make the way clear! |
| 59227 Ahh, sweet Suldanessellar. I have been away too long. I must determine what Irenicus has done within the city. |
| 59228 Walk with reverence when you step. You are going where precious few outside of the elven community have even seen. |
| 59229 Follow me within, and we shall determine the extent of the damage. I shall meet you on the other side of this passage. Do not tarry. |
| 59230 I'll wager that it has been long since you have indulged your elven nature. Welcome home. |
| 59231 Keep that drow of yours under guard. None of her kind has seen the beauty of an elven city since their fall. I would blindfold her if I could. Others would put her eyes out. |
| 59232 Whatever will get me to Demin the quickest. |
| 59233 Strangers? If you are not servants of the Exile, then aid me against these creatures, I beg of you! |
| 59234 Oh... Th-thank you for your assistance, strangers. Forgive me also if I reward your effort with questions. How do you come to be here? |
| 59235 Our city is not usually found by outsiders, doubly so with the Exile employing his magics to hide us. It is beyond fortuitous if you stumbled here unknowing. |
| 59236 I seek the one you call "the Exile." Irenicus has taken much from me. |
| 59237 I lost a loved one in a battle with his sister, Bodhi. I seek a means of curing her. |
| 59238 I sought Irenicus for my own reasons, but now I seek to help you as well. |
| 59239 It is our folly if we think his terror would be isolated. I apologize if he pained you, for we are partially to blame for each act of evil he survives to commit. |
| 59240 Again you call Irenicus "the Exile." Why? Elhan would not say, and I must know. |
| 59241 We will seek to make reparations when this matter is done, but the Exile is firmly in control at the moment. We are at his mercy. |
| 59242 Elhan is like many of us and would prefer this incident solved without involving others. Forgive him his hesitation; he only wishes for the best outcome. |
| 59243 I begin to feel it is a mistake to keep this amongst us exclusively. The consequences have been far-reaching and have proven especially difficult to dispel. |
| 59244 Elhan was particularly vexing, demanding help while also refusing information. |
| 59245 I would help for the good of both of us, but I do not know what has triggered this. |
| 59246 You will continue to be so if I don't start getting some answers. What caused this? |
| 59247 Elhan was particularly vexing, demanding help while also refusing information. |
| 59248 I would help for the good of both of us, but I do not know what has triggered this. |
| 59249 This will continue until I get some satisfactory answers! What caused this?! |
| 59250 I am not so concerned with the shame of our people over Irenicus and Bodhi. What good is our silence if the city is crushed because we would not seek help? |
| 59251 You are not an elf. It must be difficult to fathom why we are so hesitant to speak of this. Hopefully, you will come to understand. |
| 59252 As an elf, perhaps you will come to understand our hesitation in speaking of this. Hopefully, it is a folly that will not be repeated again. |
| 59253 The Exiles were not always as you know them now. They once had names that I would have been proud to speak and were as worthy as any other of praise. |
| 59254 Certainly you are entitled to your misgivings. You would not be here if you were not driven by powerful emotions, and the Exile is good at provoking a reaction. |
| 59255 Then they have fallen far from that lofty perch. I see no trace of worth in them now. |
| 59256 So you say, but I have found both of them worthy of only hatred and loathing. |
| 59257 So you say, though I have had no experience with their good sides. |
| 59258 He has garnered the strongest of reactions from us, his own people, for he wronged us greater than any other. He is a criminal that knows no bounds. |
| 59259 Yes, he was elven as we are, but no longer. Queen Ellesime cast him out, for he had proven he was not elven at heart. |
| 59260 That must have been some crime. What did he do? |
| 59261 And Bodhi? Was she involved in this too? |
| 59262 He seems powerful enough. What did he hope to accomplish? |
| 59263 She and he were well known in the elven court of Suldanessellar. He, at least, was a great asset to our kind and kin. |
| 59264 He was the greatest of our mages, as skilled as any of elven blood could be without divine assistance. He even had the favor of the queen. It was not enough. |
| 59265 Of the two, the "sister" was the insatiable one. She was not as regarded, but she held great influence over her "brother" and pulled him into her madness. |
| 59266 Together they sought more than was possible; they wished the power of the gods, and they were not concerned about the consequences. |
| 59267 How lovely. It's nice that those butchers keep so close. |
| 59268 Go on. |
| 59269 Is your rambling going to lead anywhere? |
| 59270 He of the Exiles performed a dark ritual and committed a grave offense against the greatest symbol of our longevity: the Tree of Life. |
| 59271 He sought to merge his essence with the divine tree, draining it and stealing its energy. He failed, but there was a price to pay for the rest of us. |
| 59272 He disrupted the elven connection to land and nature. There was a great shock that ran through Suldanessellar, and many of our weaker citizens lay near death. |
| 59273 That he would endanger so many for he and his sister's selfish goals was one thing, but to threaten the very nature of what makes us who we are was unfathomable. |
| 59274 Then why was he not killed outright? It would have saved a lot of trouble. |
| 59275 An unforgivable thing, I am sure. What came of it? |
| 59276 Yes, yes, I smell your outrage. Get on with your story. |
| 59277 It fell to Ellesime to judge the crime, and she was harsh. Having forsaken everything elven, they would be outcast so they might learn how precious our ways are. |
| 59278 Of spiritually high regard, Ellesime petitioned the gods, and a divine curse was placed upon the Exiles. All their connection to the elven spirit was severed. |
| 59279 Ellesime thought it a punishment worse than death. A life no longer than a human's, and their elven spirits banished from the paradise all elvenkind are entitled to. |
| 59280 The sister exposed herself to vampirism to try and counteract the divine curse, but gods are not routed so easily. The brother did not risk the same. |
| 59281 A better man would have learned to appreciate what he had lost, perhaps learning humility and seek to make amends. He did not prove to be a "better man." |
| 59282 You cut Irenicus and Bodhi loose, and instead of reforming, they plotted revenge. Typical. |
| 59283 Wow, what was your first clue, genius? |
| 59284 I should say not. I have experienced the hatred that drives Irenicus. |
| 59285 We had hoped this would turn out better. The Exile has found a way to restore himself, has made pacts with our most despised enemies, and has resumed his original plot. |
| 59286 I have no way to accurately measure the cost of our decisions on you. Reparations will be made, if there is anyone left here to make them. |
| 59287 I... I am still in shock that this happened. So much of Suldanessellar's defenses were away, battling the drow and their incursion at the temple. We were left weak. |
| 59288 And this is where I come in. He stole my divine soul through some sort of ritual. |
| 59289 Yeah, he restored himself, all right! By stealing my divine soul! |
| 59290 I seek him because of his restoration. He has harmed me and those dear to me. |
| 59291 I will still kill him for my own reasons. Irenicus has earned his death, just like Bodhi. |
| 59292 One group of exiles helping another, both so full of their petty hatred and jealousy that they would stop at nothing to strike at our hearts. |
| 59293 The Exile brought to the city magical constructs and demons, and a... a black dragon, which landed to the northwest. I have been trying to fight, but there are too many. |
| 59294 And I believe there is a way to do both at the same time, though it will not be easy. No, we have seen to it that it will not be easy. |
| 59295 Elhan spoke of Ellesime and how she might be able to help. |
| 59296 I am to find Ellesime. After that, Irenicus is mine to deal with. |
| 59297 Irenicus is the one I want. The rest of your people are on their own. |
| 59298 The Exile has seeded the streets with his minions and taken Ellesime into the palace. I have made an attempt to enter, but it is sealed tight. |
| 59299 Whether you search for the queen or seek the Exile for reasons of your own, you will have to get into the palace and also deal with the monsters in the streets. |
| 59300 I obviously do not have the strength myself to complete the task. I think perhaps you do. If I tell you what is to be done, will you do it? |
| 59301 I will. How can the creatures be stopped? |
| 59302 If there is no other way, then fine. Tell me what needs to be done. |
| 59303 There must be another way into the palace! Or to get inside the gate! |
| 59304 I care nothing for Ellesime. I am here to find Irenicus, so tell me how to get to him. |
| 59305 There is no time to argue. It is the only way to get in *and* rid the city of these creatures. I am determined to save the elves from the Exile's beasts, stranger. |
| 59306 Fine, then. If there is no other way, then tell me what you need done. |
| 59307 Well, I care nothing for the elves of this city! I am here to find Irenicus only! |
| 59308 Tell me of another way, priestess, or things are going to get very unpleasant! |
| 59309 I'll find my own way into the palace, then. |
| 59310 Irenicus is within the palace... you must enter to find him. And if you care nothing for my people, then I care nothing about using you to aid them. It is the only way. |
| 59311 Fine, then. If there is no other way, then tell me what you need done. |
| 59312 Tell me of another way, priestess, or things are going to get very unpleasant! |
| 59313 I'll find my own way into the palace, then. |
| 59314 More unpleasant than my people killed? Do not make me laugh. I will gladly die to save my home if need be, and if you only add to the death, may the Black Archer take your soul! |
| 59315 If Elhan has admitted the likes of you to our torn city, things must be more desperate than I thought! Do you plan to help, or do you intend to add to the fire? |
| 59316 You asked for it, sister... time for you to die! |
| 59317 Fine! I will do what you need me to do, so long as it does not take too long! |
| 59318 I shall find my own way into the palace, then. |
| 59319 If you are so much the fool, then the One and the Three curse you! I spit upon your ignorant blood! |
| 59320 The temple is dedicated to Rillifane Rallathil. He can summon the spirit defenders of the forest to protect us... and has the power to break the seal on the palace. |
| 59321 But the Leaflord must be awakened, his avatar summoned, in order for the spirits to come. The Exile's creatures have desecrated the temple and stolen the artifacts I need. |
| 59322 The artifacts are lost in the city, held by the Exile's minions, perhaps even the black dragon in the northwest. There are three: a talisman of Rillifane, a golden cup, and a moonblade. |
| 59323 Go into the temple, which will most likely be guarded, and place the items on the statue in the center. This will summon the avatar to our defense. |
| 59324 This had better be worth the trouble. |
| 59325 Are you certain this is the solution? |
| 59326 I believe so, stranger. I cannot be sure, but only Rillifane has the power. Go, please... the longer you wait, the more elves will suffer. Quickly! |
| 59327 You may try if you wish. I shall remain here to regain my strength before I resume my search. If you... change your mind, stranger, come speak to me again. |
| 59328 Ah. You have returned, I see. Have you changed your mind, then, stranger? Will you help me to save the elves of this city? |
| 59329 Then why did you return? *sigh* Do as you wish, but if you are not here to help the city, then you may as well leave Suldanessellar now. |
| 59330 You have returned... but I do not sense that the avatar has been summoned. Is there something you need, stranger? You must move quickly! |
| 59331 I suppose I'll have to if I want to find a way into the palace. |
| 59332 There must be some other way into the palace. I want you to tell me where it is. |
| 59333 You're going to tell me of another way in before things become very unpleasant. |
| 59334 No, you're still on your own. |
| 59335 What do I have to do again? |
| 59336 I just want to see if I have all the artifacts I need. |
| 59337 I just want to see if I have all the artifacts I need. |
| 59338 Is there no help that you can offer? |
| 59339 All right, I'm going. |
| 59340 Find the holy artifactsâ€â€the talisman, the golden cup, and the moonbladeâ€â€and bring them to the temple. Place them on the statue in the center of the room to summon the avatar. |
| 59341 Please go quickly! Rillifane's avatar must be summoned soon if Suldanessellar is to be saved! |
| 59342 Let me see... the talisman, the cup... yes! Yes! You have everything that is needed! Now you must battle your way into the temple and place them on the statue! |
| 59343 Let me see... I do not see all the artifacts amongst your possessions. The creatures who raided the temple and took them should still be in the city. Find them! |
| 59344 I have nothing left to offer. My spells are drained, and any holy items I had were in the temple. If the people are to be aided, it must be you who is to do it. |
| 59345 You have summoned Rillifane's avatar. The spirit defenders will deal with the Exile's creatures while the city is properly evacuated and the wounded dealt with. |
| 59346 The gates to the palace are unsealed now... you can deal with the Exile directly. I do not know his plans, but I fear what he might do to both the Queen and the Tree of Life. |
| 59347 If the Exile has done something to the Great Tree... corrupted it, perhaps, I don't know... only Queen Ellesime will have the power to stop him. |
| 59348 I must leave you now and help with the great many wounded. Thank you, stranger, for all you have done... good luck. I pray that the Exile is not successful. |
| 59349 Ah, it is Korgan Bloodaxe at last. I have watched for you and your companions for some time. But these... these are not your usual comrades-in-arms. |
| 59350 If ye be speaking of Shagbag and them other traitors, then nay... this be me new party, and a much better one at that. |
| 59351 But enough of yer gab, human. Ye asked me to come... have ye a contract for Korgan or nay? If ye've wasted me time, I'll be sorely put out, I'll warn ye now. |
| 59352 Oh, there is a contract indeed. But perhaps I should introduce myself to your new friends, Mr. Bloodaxe... I do not wish to give the wrong impression. |
| 59353 Do as ye wish, long-legs. But do not call me "Mr. Bloodaxe" again. The name be Korgan only. An' ye can speak to <CHARNAME> here if ye're to speak to anyone of us. |
| 59354 I have no time to help anyone at the moment, least of all the Cowled Wizards. |
| 59355 Don't be so hasty in taking charge of me own affairs. I be willing to take the contract, Madeen, even if it were to wait until <CHARNAME> here changes <PRO_HISHER> bloody fool mind. |
| 59356 I have no time to parley with wizards. I have far more important things to do. |
| 59357 Forget it. I have no time for such matters. |
| 59358 No, I don't. Excuse me. |
| 59359 I am not thrilled o'ermuch at the thought of working for the bloody wizards... but it could be a profitable contract, and I'll nae let it fall to some wet-eared pretender. |
| 59360 Ye should think too, <CHARNAME>, that yon Cowled Wizards may provide ye with information... and may be more pleased to do so if ye've done them a task. Or nay... it is up to ye. |
| 59361 I say let us go within the building and at least talk to yon Tolgerias, aye? And I'll even leave the final decision up to ye, <CHARNAME>, to make it fair, heh... |
| 59362 Ah, yes, I do see Madeen has proven to be his faithful self. How are you, my dwarven mercenary? Are you up to the task Madeen has recruited you for? |
| 59363 I be up to any task, wizard, but if there be convincing to be done, ye'd best convince me comrade here, <CHARNAME>. It be <PRO_HISHER> decision whether we take yer job or nay. |
| 59364 Truly? A more tempered attitude than I expected of you, dwarf. The advantage of serving the Cowled Wizards should be plain for anyone to see. |
| 59365 We had a theft some time back, not long ago. There were three books taken, each on a different subject dealing with vampirism. |
| 59366 The... Dea Vampir Becomos, Conjur Ota Servanta, and Vampiricus Omnibus. Yes, those were the ones. I cannot tell you much about their contents though. |
| 59367 Blast and bloody tarnations! I should have known that the wizards would demand such! It be up to ye, <CHARNAME>, but I for one would rather kick his arse than kiss it. |
| 59368 I'm not too sure where they were acquired... hmm... I seem to recall that the Vampiricus Omnibus was bought from a dealer in Imnesvale, in the Umar Hills. |
| 59369 I'm afraid that's all I know. Has that been of service to you? |
| 59370 I've already been to Imnesvale. I didn't find much directly related to the book. |
| 59371 Possibly. Thanks for your time. |
| 59372 I don't know what else to say. I would suggest that you read the Vampiricus Omnibus itself for the information you seek, but I do not have access to it myself. |
| 59373 The book would likely help you in your task. |
| 59374 No trouble. |
| 59375 A hunt fer a bounty, is it? Pfeh... I wonder why the wizard gives us so much background. Lies, all of it, I have little doubt. Perhaps if we figure out why they want this man, <CHARNAME>, we'll have more treasure yet... |
| 59376 I believe it was bought from a dealer in the Umar Hills region, but unfortunately, it and several other books on vampirism went missing some time ago. |
| 59377 A pity. As I recall, one of those books actually outlined the process of curing a vampire that was not too long afflicted. Ahh, you can turn to books for any knowledge. |
| 59378 So this is where the cowardly hidden ranger be, eh? Ye're correct, boy... the wizards hired us to track ye down for some manner of retribution. The difference means little to us. |
| 59379 Sorry, ain't got much in the way of tomes today. Been real slow here, so's I shipped most of my stock to Athkatla. Ain't talked to anyone in weeks, actually. |
| 59380 'Tis a stain on me reputation that ye add the bounty to our ranks, <CHARNAME>, but I'll nae speak against it. |
| 59381 Business been that bad because of the nasty events around here recently? |
| 59382 Sorry to have bothered you. |
| 59383 I'm looking for information about a tome that details the curing of vampirism. |
| 59384 Fare ye well and whatnot. Be sure to stop by. Always a friendly word for good listeners. |
| 59385 Aye, that it has, though there have been quite a few old books turning up around here to make it worthwhile. Nothing startling, but I get by. |
| 59386 Enjoy your stay as best ye can under the circumstances. |
| 59387 I remember a text that had "Vampiricus" in the title, but I could nary read a word of it. Interesting look to it, and the followers of Oghma paid well, I believe. |
| 59388 Bought it off a digger sage called Windy, or maybe that was just my impression because he talked so much. I find a lot of people drone on and on, never letting you get a word in edgewise. |
| 59389 Anyway, he had some story about a ruined temple full of shadows, fleeing with his porter over a shoulder, on some quest to find this or that. Did I mention he talked a lot? |
| 59390 He said he found the place after some fuss with a vampire, and he'd been looking for a cure for the bloodsucker, and he was running out of time and... oh Jehosaphat, he went on and on. |
| 59391 Move along. No loitering near the shopkeep. The goods are under my protection. |
| 59392 Come now, perhaps I can encourage you to look the other way for a moment or two? |
| 59393 As you say, sir. Just browsing. |
| 59394 You seem particularly dedicated. Have thieves been much of a problem? |
| 59395 No, you cannot. My guild fulfills the services it promises, and theft protection is our specialty. You will find no opportunity here. |
| 59396 Purchase or move on. I will allow no opportunity for thievery. |
| 59397 Not any longer. My guild specializes in theft reduction. There will be no opportunity for thievery here. |
| 59398 Oh, we're not here to... that is, we've come to help you, if we can. My uncle... well, he's not really my uncle... he seems to know you and asked me to come and see you... |
| 59399 Then you are certainly welcome here amongst us, dear child. But I am afraid you have me at somewhat of a loss. Who is this uncle you speak of? |
| 59400 I don't care about my "friend." I want Irenicus for revenge and for what he can do for me! |
| 59401 I don't care about my "friend." I want Irenicus for revenge and for what he can do for me! |
| 59402 Oh, we're not here to... that is, we've come to help you, if we can. My uncle... well, he really isn't my uncle... it seems that he knew you, that you were once friends... |
| 59403 Quayle... his name's Quayle. He raised me in the circus. |
| 59404 I will provide incentive for you no matter what your goals are, and I will provide you with an outlet for your more destructive side as well. |
| 59405 Ahhh, yes. The young illusionist gnome. I heard he had come to this city, but had not expected him to reply to my letter so quickly. How does he fair, dear elf? |
| 59406 The young...? You must have known him a long time ago, then. Quayle is fine. He is running the circus here in the city and asked us to come when he received your letter. |
| 59407 The young...? Then you... must have known him from a long time ago. Quayle is... dead, I'm afraid. Just recently. We came here because your letter got delivered to me instead. |
| 59408 If this is so, then yon gnome has done far more than I thought possible. A more than fair return for the time I aided him in Sigil. Will you help me, child? |
| 59409 It... it's more up to <CHARNAME>, really, ma'am. I've been traveling with <PRO_HIMHER>, but <PRO_HESHE>'s the one with the experience to help you. Maybe you could... tell us what's wrong? |
| 59410 We are saddened by his loss. Perhaps one day I will see him in the planes, to thank him for having friends to aid us in his stead. Can you help us, child? |
| 59411 We've already talked to Miss Raelis, Quayle. I had no idea she was a friend of yours, though. |
| 59412 You have? Never mind me then, my dear... go about your business. But if you can help Raelis more than you have, it would do my heart good. |
| 59413 I... I really think we should help Raelis if we can. What would be the harm in it? I'd like to do it for Uncle Quayle if nothing else... but I... I suppose you know best. |
| 59414 I'm pleased that you're willing to help her. If... if I remember right, we should be able to enter the sewers in the Temple District. From there, we can track down this wizard, Mekrath. |
| 59415 You... you're Haer'Dalis? Raelis sent us... to free you. |
| 59416 I shall have what Irenicus knows, and I shall leave you the leftovers. |
| 59417 Talk all you want; it will change nothing. |
| 59418 Talk all you want; it will change nothing. |
| 59419 Talk all you want; it will change nothing. |
| 59420 I will have what he knows! If you share that knowledge, I demand you relinquish it! |
| 59421 We come because the little boy, Delon, said that there was evil here in need of a butt-kicking! And good for us that we have our boots on, yes, sir! |
| 59422 Fine with me! Let it end with your blood! And then I will move on to Irenicus! |
| 59423 No, we can't leave this place without having destroyed all evil! Tell Boo this is not so, <CHARNAME>! Do not destroy a young hamster's innocence! |
| 59424 Wolves? Ogres? Witches? Oh my! It is too much for Minsc's poor head to comprehend! Which of these are evil? The edge of my sword shall find the truth! |
| 59425 Oh, most glorious day! One step closer we come to being true heroes, yes indeedy! Even little Boo's fur stands on end from his anticipation! |
| 59426 Imoen is of paramount importance. |
| 59427 My main interest is in finding out what Irenicus can do for me. |
| 59428 If you can eventually show light on what he was planning for me, I will be grateful. |
| 59429 The last thing we need is you in our party. Hit the road! And while you're at it, take a bath. |
| 59430 I'm in a hurry. I've got to hunt for a mage called Irenicus. |
| 59431 Don't dawdle. I have to find Imoen and make sure she's all right. |
| 59432 The mage named Irenicus is my main concern. |
| 59433 My, my. If it isn't the freelancer, Yoshimo, come to see me at last. I had nearly thought that the streets had opened up and swallowed you whole, dear lad. |
| 59434 As soon as I find out where Irenicus is I can take care of everything on my own. |
| 59435 I am so pleased that you gave any thought at all to my well-being, sire. It is always good to be remembered by one's peers. |
| 59436 Well now, that would imply that you were one of my peers, as opposed to a ragtag independent infringing on our territory. You are just too much, Yoshi. |
| 59437 Yoshimo, if you please, sire. Where I come from, such a pet name is only used by... well, let us say that you and I have not become so familiar just yet, hm? |
| 59438 Point taken. Have you finally come to pay your debt for your recent activities, or are we to simply trade barbs until I am forced to do something hideous? |
| 59439 I have come as you have commanded, sire. You have a task for me? |
| 59440 I thought I did, but it appears you have done something better. Your traveling companion is of interest, and you have brought <PRO_HIMHER> before me. My thanks. |
| 59441 As soon as I find out where Irenicus is I can take care of everything on my own. |
| 59442 As soon as I find out where Irenicus is I can take care of everything on my own. |
| 59443 I initially thought I did, but it appears you have done something better. Your traveling companion, go and fetch <PRO_HIMHER>. We have business, <PRO_HESHE> and I. |
| 59444 All I need to know is where Irenicus is. I'll take it from there. |
| 59445 I have nothing to say until both <CHARNAME> and Yoshimo are before me. Please bring them, and we may continue our discussion. |
| 59446 I just need to know where Irenicus is. I'll take it from there. |
| 59447 Hmm. This is the <CHARNAME> I have heard so much of, then, Yoshimo? |
| 59448 You... will not endanger <PRO_HIMHER>, sire? It would be a poor treatment of my honor if my companion was brought to danger because of my debt. |
| 59449 No, no. Nothing like that, I assure you. Now let me speak to your companion for a moment. |
| 59450 Indeed, Yoshimo. I suppose you are wondering about your own status, perhaps, now that <CHARNAME> has refused my proposal? |
| 59451 Perhaps. |
| 59452 Well, I intend to wait for the off chance that you convince <CHARNAME> to take my offer. We can put off your debt, Yoshimo... for now. |
| 59453 Move aside so that I can kill this rotten crawler that stands so dangerously close to you. |
| 59454 There is no need for that... he and I have an understanding. We have been through much together. Be wary though. |
| 59455 In case you are wondering, Yoshimo, this will ease your "freelance" activity debts. So long as you help <CHARNAME>, they will be overlooked... for now. |
| 59456 You are too good to me, sire. |
| 59458 I don't care. I want the directions to Irenicus that I paid for! |
| 59459 I seek Irenicus, and I don't want your petty errands keeping me from him! |
| 59460 I know that the power Irenicus promised was denied me because your thieves attacked! |
| 59461 And the power he promised was taken with him. |
| 59462 I shall take what I need from Irenicus while he is incapacitated there! |
| 59463 <CHARNAME>, you have demonstrated the strength of your convictions through your actions and your will, and you stand before nature a transformed <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 59464 You are now of the few that are known as Great Druid, one of the few that walk as the line between ocean and shore, mountain and plain. |
| 59465 May you stride where the balance has been lost, protecting those that have fallen away, ensuring that the cycle continues. |
| 59466 Get lost! Can't you see that I'm busy? |
| 59467 Thanks for freeing us from the slavers. Hendak has been kind enough to offer us slaves jobs in the Copper Coronet. |
| 59468 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 59469 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 59470 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 59471 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 59472 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 59473 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 59474 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 59475 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 59476 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 59477 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 59478 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 59479 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 59481 (The sword flashes for a moment, then sighs since you are not impressed with its magnificence.) "So... are we gonna... kill something now?" |
| 59482 Never mind. Let's just continue on for now. |
| 59483 "Oh sure, get me all excited for nothin'! So, are we gonna kill something soon? How about now? No? How about, uh... now? No? Mmm, now? What about now?" |
| 59494 (The sword whistles incredulously.) "Advice, eh? Hmm... well, besides working on your swordsmanship... you know, besides that, uh... I'd have to think." |
| 59495 "I got it! Oh, I knew I'd come up with something... I'm so sharp. Kill everything! Carnage! Slaughter! Carve your way outta here, and I'm gonna sing your praises! Yahaa!" |
| 59496 "I'm sharp, I can come up with something... Okay. Find someone who knows what you wanna know and threaten to kill 'em! Yeah! Then, kill 'em! YEAH! Haha! Woo hoo!" |
| 59497 "Hmmm... find someone rich, and kill them. Then find someone richer, and kill them too! Hack and slash your way to fortune! Woo hoo!" |
| 59498 "I think you should sharpen me a bit. I got more nicks than a Rashemaar ranger's head. Haha!" |
| 59499 "I know! Start swingin'! Well, eventually, you'll lop the head off *someone* important, and then the good fights'll REALLY start!" |
| 59500 You can almost picture the sword licking its chops. "Oh, there's GOT to be LOTS to kill down here! Just pick a direction and start swingin'! Hahahaa!" |
| 59501 "I refuse to answer any more questions until I'm cleaned and polished thoroughly. Grab a rag already!" |
| 59502 The sword thinks for a long time. "Ahh... umm... uh, find the wizard guy. Yeah, sure... find 'im, and kill 'im. Kill kill kill kill KILL! Woo hoo!" |
| 59503 I will do what I can to help you. |
| 59504 "What's my status? Well, since when do you care about me unless I'm impaled in something's guts? Oh well, fine. Lemme think for a minute..." |
| 59505 If this is how it ends, then so be it! |
| 59506 Ugh! |
| 59507 "Hmph! Well, I suppose I'm okay. Why? Are we gonna go kill something now? How about now? No? Now! Maybe?" |
| 59508 "I think you need to take better care of me. I've got more chips than a blind beaver... I look like a second-rate pig-poker." |
| 59509 "I'd, uh, appreciate some quality time in my scabbard. Take a break! Aw, who am I kidding? Attack! Battle! Kill! Ah ha ha haha! This is what I live for!" |
| 59510 "Well, uh, since you asked, I would like to register a complaint. I want to kill a dragon. Right now. No, don't look. Go kill one now. Go find one, and kill it. That's right: Kill. Now. That would be so COOL!" |
| 59523 The good of the garrison is my concern. |
| 59524 For Athkatla and Amn! |
| 59539 The course I must take does not please me. |
| 59540 Might you have any advice, O sentient sword? |
| 59541 What's your status, sword? |
| 59542 Minsc agrees! It would be the essence of epic heroing! Dead dragons should litter our path wherever we go! |
| 59543 "Ooh... I agree with the Rashemaar! Give me to him, will ya? C'mon! What a pair we'd make! Oh, me the brains with the edge, him the brawn with the hamster! A legend in the making..." |
| 59544 Sewer is no place for you. Sewer is our place. Go now or face my wrath! |
| 59545 You've ruined me, <CHARNAME>. With the slaves free, I'll lose most of my business, and with my debts, my life as well. The sight of you sickens me. Go. |
| 59546 Thanks for freeing us from the slavers. Hendak has been kind enough to offer us slaves jobs in the Copper Coronet. |
| 59547 Thanks for freeing us from the slavers. Hendak has been kind enough to offer us slaves jobs in the Copper Coronet. |
| 59549 It is hardly an appropriate amount, but it shall have to do. |
| 59550 And I'm afraid that is about all there is to know, really, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 59551 Thanks, I'll be going now. |
| 59552 Yes, yes, you did. |
| 59553 Yeah, some people are like that. |
| 59554 You don't say? |
| 59555 So's I says, "Is there a point to all of this?" And he says, "If I'm gonna get full value for the book, I gotta tell you what it says," and I says, "I don't care what it says, just shut up." 'Cuz he was a real talker, right? |
| 59556 Uh huh. |
| 59557 Please stop. |
| 59558 Yeah, you said already. |
| 59559 Could we wrap this up? I've got places to be. |
| 59560 Just... just be quiet. |
| 59561 And then he talks about hopscotch in a room of letters close to the big statue's arms where you dump a vampire and the heart of its master and then the thing with the magic and the stuff! May as well have been talking orcish. |
| 59562 May as well have. |
| 59563 Do you breath when you speak? |
| 59564 Shut the hell up already! |
| 59565 And he says it's all in the book, and it's something to do with the mayor's problems and that everyone will need to know, and do you know what I says to him? Do you know what I says? |
| 59566 By the gods, I can hardly wait to find out! |
| 59567 Would it matter? |
| 59568 What?! |
| 59569 "5 gold," I says. And he says, "Good, 'cuz I really need a drink." Bloody rummy, wasting my time. I gots better things to do than listen to someone like that, eh? |
| 59570 I just need to know where Irenicus is. I'll take it from there. |
| 59571 Enough! I haven't the time for this! |
| 59572 But I've seen plenty of mages in this city, and they don't seem to have any trouble from the Cowled Wizards! |
| 59573 I see. Well, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 59574 Yes, good, good. On your way... and do not bother me further. |
| 59575 Life... is strength. |
| 59576 I'm sure you are mistaken. The mages you speak of are either members of the Cowled Wizards or have proven themselves... (ahem!)... worthy of a license to use their magics here in the city. |
| 59577 So how does one become a member of the Cowled Wizards, then? |
| 59578 So how do you prove yourself "worthy" of a license? |
| 59579 I'll be on my way. |
| 59580 *snort* One does not simply apply for membership. Once you are worthy of membership amongst the Cowled Wizards, you will know. |
| 59581 Well, what about this license, then? How does one get that? |
| 59582 Fine, then, I'll be on my way. |
| 59583 Well... for one, you must make a monetary... sacrifice. After that, we allow you to use magic in the city. Should you prove to be deviant, you lose your rights. |
| 59584 And just how much is this "monetary sacrifice," exactly? |
| 59585 I see. Well, I'm not interested. |
| 59586 5,000 gp. No less. And should you prove unworthy of the right to use magic in Amn, your coin is not returned. |
| 59587 5,000 gp? Fine, then. Here you go. |
| 59588 Long have I rested in the halls below the Old City. Long have I been at peace. Your disturbance shall not go unpunished! |
| 59589 And just how much is this "monetary sacrifice," exactly? |
| 59590 If I were you, I would not even bother asking. You have already proven yourself destructive beyond the boundaries of common sense. Begone with you, villain. |
| 59591 5,000 gp! I don't have that much coin! |
| 59592 I'll think about it, I suppose. |
| 59593 I see. Well, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 59594 Ahh? I see. Very well then, my <LADYLORD>. You and your companions will have the right, for now, to cast magic within the city. Do not abuse the privilege, or you will lose it. |
| 59595 Then you must be careful not to use any magic you might have while within the city. Come back, perhaps, when you are better off. Now begone. |
| 59596 Fine. Should you change your mind, I shall still be here. |
| 59597 How much was that license to cast magic in the city, again? |
| 59598 I have a complaint! I paid you for the right to cast magic here, and the Cowled Wizards are still hounding me! |
| 59599 Then obviously, you have proven yourself to be a dangerous deviant. *snort* Now begone. You are fortunate that we have not taken you into custody. |
| 59600 Then I have a complaint. I paid you for the right to cast magic, and yet the Cowled Wizards are still hounding me! |
| 59601 Then I'll be on my way. |
| 59602 This is not to be contested; it seems logical enough. You live; you affect your world. |
| 59603 But is it what *you* need? You are... different... inside. |
| 59604 This woman lives and has strength of a sort. |
| 59605 She lost her parents to plague, her husband to war, but she persevered. |
| 59606 Her farm has prospered, her name is respected, and her children are fed and safe. She lived as she thought she should. |
| 59607 And now, she is dead. |
| 59608 Her land will be divided, her children will move on, and she will be forgotten. |
| 59609 She lived a "good" life, but she had no power. She was a slave to death. |
| 59610 Forgive me what I must do! |
| 59611 I wonder if *you* are destined to be forgotten. Will your life fade in the shadow of greater beings? |
| 59612 You are born of murder, the very essence of that which takes life. You have power, if you wish it. |
| 59613 Really? But the consequences are so very real. |
| 59614 I have no interest in the horrors you offer! None of this is to be believed! |
| 59615 These images are interesting to me. I deserve power because of what I am! |
| 59616 Your actions affect so many others than yourself. You will come to realize how little choice you have. |
| 59617 You will do what you must, become what you must, or others will pay for your cowardice. |
| 59618 Yes, understand what is available to you! |
| 59619 When the opportunity comes, accept the gifts offered to you. Followâ€â€our meeting is inevitable. |
| 59620 You *will* accept the gifts offered to you. |
| 59621 Stand. |
| 59622 You rest each night uneasy. Yes, you are weary. You struggle daily. |
| 59623 It will not end, you know, until you acknowledge what you are. |
| 59624 You walk as a mortal, taking no advantage from your heritage, from your talents within. So many things of flesh are greater than you. |
| 59625 Walk among them, these beasts that are less than you are. See their strength; see how easily you fall to their muscle and skill. |
| 59626 Why do you stand for this? Why do you submit to the flesh when death is bred in your bones? |
| 59627 Do you realize the power you might hold? When the world of flesh is beneath you, even creatures mysterious and magical will fall! |
| 59628 Follow, and receive the gift you are owed by the blood in your veins. |
| 59629 Follow, if only to protect the weak that fell because of you. |
| 59630 Awaken. Awaken and hear me. |
| 59631 I bring visions of warning, of what is happening now and what may happen soon. |
| 59632 This image will speak true, for you are of two sides, and the liars have said their part. |
| 59633 You travel in search of yourself, divided, splintered. There is a piece of you missing. |
| 59634 The hole inside you fills with death, with darkness, while anotherâ€â€Irenicusâ€â€kills with your strength. |
| 59635 Look. Look at the destruction he has wrought. See the corruption that he brings. |
| 59636 He has stolen your future to replace his own, avoided his proper fate. This must be undone! |
| 59637 For your sake, and theirs, you must take back what has been stolen. |
| 59638 If their lives are not enough, then think of your own. You will lose yourself to the hole within. |
| 59639 Yours is the potential to be your own worst enemy... or your own savior. |
| 59640 Rise... rise and listen to what must be said. |
| 59641 Just because you say it was your fate does not mean you did it for noble reasons. You were frightened of the life that lay before you, and you left. Simple as that. |
| 59642 I'm sorry, Cernd, but you left a large mess behind for other people to fix. If you've come to clean it up, you will find that you are far too late. |
| 59643 Your rest is deserved, but time grows short, and hope of victory is fading. |
| 59644 You have progressed despite your loss, but you must know that you are tainted and will not survive, no matter your power. |
| 59645 You must retrieve what was stolen, but you must also master what you have become. This, above all else, is vital! |
| 59646 Look to this grove when the time comes. This grove is your salvation. Here you will meet the test to come. |
| 59647 You must change what you are, for your own sake and for those whose lives are also in the balance. |
| 59648 The Slayer consumes; that is its purpose. You will cease to exist if you do not confront it, master it! |
| 59649 Remember this grove. This place of power will give physical form to the battle you must fight. Remember when you wake. Remember! |
| 59650 Your fall is inevitable if you ignore what is within. |
| 59651 Your soul governs your will. Without it, you are divided. Your fate is contested within you. |
| 59652 You are being pulled apart and must take back the right to direct your life. |
| 59653 The essence of you shall be distilled, the darkness removed and given legs of its own. |
| 59654 Eh? Who's there? Some <GIRLBOY> <RACE> wanderin' in me smithy, I see. I rarely gets visitors, with the blisterin' heat and all... something I can do for ye, <GIRLBOY>? |
| 59655 You will stand apart, against each other. Physical form shall be given to the battle of wills that you face. |
| 59656 You would not have this chance if the god of your blood were living. No mortal can stand before a living god defiant. |
| 59657 Master the essence, the lingering consciousness of murder. The Slayer walks, and you must block its path. |
| 59658 Who are you? |
| 59659 What do you have for sale here? |
| 59660 Well, you can stop calling me "<GIRLBOY>," for starters. |
| 59661 No thanks. I'll be on my way. |
| 59662 My name be Cromwell. Now mayhap ye'll tell me who ye are, aye? |
| 59663 You have rescued your fate, but Irenicus holds your spirit within him. You must reclaim your soul, or you will have no life to guide. |
| 59664 I am <GABBER>. Pleased to meet you. |
| 59665 I am <GABBER>, if you really must know. |
| 59667 You don't need to know my name, I'm sure. |
| 59668 Forget introductions, I just want to see what you have for sale. |
| 59669 *I... am the strength. Even in deathhh... you will die... All of you will DIEEE!* |
| 59670 I be not selling ye anything. I be the finest blacksmith in Athkatla, and I works on commission only. I can make most anything ye desire. |
| 59671 What sorts of things do you make? |
| 59672 Can you make magical armor and weapons and the like? |
| 59673 Well, I'll be on my way, then. |
| 59674 You have mastered the death that walks within, tamed the destruction that exists without will. This part of you is subdued for now. |
| 59675 Now to repair, for your heart is still a void. You must retrieve what was stolen, or your efforts were wasted. The Exile must be countered. |
| 59676 As ye wish. I meant no offense by it, friend. Is there something else ye wish Cromwell to call ye by instead? |
| 59677 I am <GABBER>. Pleased to meet you. |
| 59678 I am <GABBER>, if you really must know. |
| 59679 You don't need to know my name, I'm sure. |
| 59680 Forget introductions, I just want to see what you have for sale. |
| 59681 Mind the mess on yer way out, <GIRLBOY>. Me apprentice just returned to Abdar, sure enough, and I've no patience for housekeeping. |
| 59682 Aye. Welcome to me smithy, <GABBER>. Was there something that ye needed from an old dwarf, mayhap? |
| 59683 I would like to see what you have for sale. |
| 59684 What sort of smithing do you do? |
| 59685 Not really. I'll be on my way. |
| 59686 Accept this guidance, protect your fate. Know that trials come often for those that walk in the shadow of gods. |
| 59687 Nay, I care not... but ye're in me smithy, and it be only polite. Now, <GABBER>... be there something ye need from an old dwarf, or does ye just like the smoke? |
| 59688 I would like to see what you have for sale. |
| 59689 What sort of smithing do you do? |
| 59690 And what if I said I only want to look around? |
| 59691 Not really. I'll be on my way. |
| 59692 That be true, but it be me own smithy here, and you be the guest. But I care not. Mayhap ye'll tell me what ye wish from an old dwarf and be on yer way, aye? |
| 59693 I would like to see what you have for sale. |
| 59694 What sort of smithing do you do? |
| 59695 And what if I said I only want to look around? |
| 59696 Not really. I'll be on my way. |
| 59697 I've made armor from the scales of a basilisk, a helmet from a cockatrice... items to put fear into the hearts of the bloody gods themselves. Hah! |
| 59698 All of me work be done from commissions. Give me the ingredients, and I can forge an item of power, sure enough. 'Tis a good living for a smith of me skills. |
| 59699 Do I have anything you could forge into an item? |
| 59700 What sorts of things would you need in order to make something? |
| 59701 I suppose so. I'll be on my way. |
| 59702 Well, that be your choice. There be only scrap metals an' such about... hardly something to interest ye, I'm sure, but ye can never tell about some folk. |
| 59703 Well now, that depends. Rare scales or husks, mayhap, or a magical metal I could forge. Even the pieces to a larger item can be repaired. My skills are many. |
| 59704 Do I have anything you could forge into something, then? |
| 59705 I see. I'll be going, then. |
| 59706 Another time, then, me friend. Cromwell wishes ye a fair journey. |
| 59707 Hmmm... I couldn't rightly say. Let me have a look into yer goods, then. A minute of rummagin' and I'll know fer sure, aye? |
| 59708 Hmm. Nay... nay. Ye've nothing amongst yer goods that I could work with. If ye come across anything interesting later, friend, ye knows where to come, aye? |
| 59709 Hmmm... what's this? Some kind of scale from a beastie, aye? |
| 59710 Aye, ye've collected the scales of a shadow dragon. By the Soul Forger, 'tis a grand sight. I can make a suit of armor from yon scales, if ye like. |
| 59711 Do not oppose what comes with its own weapons. Defend your mortality with the guise of a mortal. |
| 59712 What would that involve? |
| 59713 I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59714 I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59715 I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59716 Ah! Scales from a red dragon, a beast of the Dread Flame. It shall make a grand suit of armor if ye wish, me friend. Does that hold yer interest? |
| 59717 What's involved in that? |
| 59718 I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59719 I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59720 Hmmm. Ye've the husk of an ankheg, I see. A comrade in Beregost taught me to make a fine suit of armor from the beastie. Would ye like to commission a suit? |
| 59721 What's involved in that? |
| 59722 I don't think so. Do I have anything else of interest? |
| 59723 I'll take another look for meself here. Hmmm... |
| 59724 Aye now, what have we here? |
| 59725 Ye've a scroll with the true name of the thunderhammer, Crom Faeyr. Had ye a hammer of thunderbolts, gauntlets of ogre power, and a girdle of frost giant strength, I could combine 'em and forge it. |
| 59726 But ye don't, so I cannae help ye. If ye can collect the scroll and all three items later, keep them on hand. Crom Faeyr is worth the effort, my friend. |
| 59727 Let me see if ye've anything else in yer packs now... |
| 59728 I see ye've the hammer of thunderbolts? Had ye gauntlets of ogre power, a girdle of frost giant strength, and scroll with the thunderhammer's true name, I could forge a mighty weapon. |
| 59729 I am going to give you a dagger now, and I want you to try and equip it. |
| 59730 Ah, ye've a hammer of thunderbolts and a scroll with the true name of the thunderhammer, Crom Faeyr. If ye had gauntlets of ogre power and a girdle of frost giant strength, I could forge the great weapon. |
| 59731 Hmm... Ye've a hammer of thunderbolts, gauntlets of ogre power, a girdle of frost giant strength, and a scroll with the thunderhammer's true name... Crom Faeyr. |
| 59732 'Tis a collection that would widen the eyes of the Soul Forger himself. I could create the Crom Faeyr for ye, friend... if ye've the interest, of course. |
| 59733 What would that involve? |
| 59734 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else of interest? |
| 59735 Eh? Ye've part of some sword here, is it? Let me see... |
| 59736 Well, ye've the hilt of a sword here, but I would need both the blade and the pommel gem in order to forge it into one piece. A pity. |
| 59737 Well, ye've the blade of a sword here indeed. But I would need both its pommel gem and the sword's hilt in order to forge it into one piece for ye. A pity. |
| 59738 Hmmm. A pretty enough pommel gem, but without the blade or the hilt of the weapon, I cannae forge it into one piece for ye. A pity. |
| 59739 Hmmm... I see. Ye've a hilt and a blade here for a long sword. And a pommel gem with much of its power. I could forge it all into one mighty sword for ye. |
| 59740 What would be involved in that? |
| 59741 No, I'm not interested in that. Anything else of use? |
| 59742 Well, what else does ye have in yer packs, then? Hmmm... |
| 59743 Hmmm. What's this, then? Part of a bow? Looks like Gesen's work... |
| 59744 Ach, ye've a shaft that's been created by the great bowyer Gesen, but ye haven't Gesen's proper string. Find that and I can reforge the bow for ye. |
| 59745 Ach, ye've a proper string made by the great bowyer Gesen. But not his shaft. If ye find the shaft, bring it to me, and I'll reforge the bow entire for ye. |
| 59746 Hmmm. Aye, 'tis Gesen's work indeed. A string and a shaft both. I could remake one of the great bowyer's shortbows for ye. 'Tis a truly powerful weapon. |
| 59747 What's involved in that? |
| 59748 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else of use? |
| 59749 I'll keep looking here, me friend. Hmmm... |
| 59750 Hmmm... hmmm... aye. Aye now, this looks interesting... |
| 59751 Ye've the shaft of what was once a powerful halberd. If ye finds the blade for it, I could reforge the old weapon without much fuss. |
| 59752 Ye've a blade here fer a mighty halberd. It seems t' have power of water... odd. If ye can find the accompanying shaft, I can forge it together for ye. |
| 59753 Hmmm... ye've the shaft and blade of a halberd. Power of water in its elemental magic. Most interesting. If ye like, I could try to reforge it for ye. |
| 59754 What would be involved in that? |
| 59755 No, I'm not interested. Anything else of use? |
| 59756 Quite a mess ye have here. Traveling for some time, eh? Hmmm... |
| 59757 'Ey? What's this? Gith craftsmanship? Haven't seen this in o'er a century... |
| 59758 Well... it seems ye've the blade of a Silver Sword here. Not much good without the hilt though. Best be wary... the gith won't be pleased if they catch ye with this. |
| 59759 Well... ye've the hilt of a Silver Sword, but without the blade to match, I cannae help ye. Best be wary, too... the gith won't be pleased if they catch ye with this. |
| 59760 Aye. Ye've the hilt and blade of a vorpal Silver Sword. If ye're willing to risk the wrath of the gith, I'm willing to put it back together for ye. |
| 59761 What would be involved with that? |
| 59762 I don't think so. Do I have anything else of use? |
| 59763 I'll keep looking. Hmmm... I see... |
| 59764 Aye now... this could be something here. Some kind of metal, eh? Let me see... |
| 59765 It be illithium, aye? A rare metal indeed. If ye ever get ahold of a mace of disruption, a coating of illithium would improve it vastly. |
| 59766 Ye've illithium there, aye? And a mace of disruption as well. I could apply a coating to yer mace and improve it greatly, giving ye more protection from the undead. |
| 59767 What's involved in that? |
| 59768 No, I don't think so. Anything else of use? |
| 59769 Nay... nay, I see nothing else here that could be of use in the forge. Perhaps another time then, me friend. |
| 59770 Your pathetic magics are useless. Let this end! |
| 59771 Two things, me friend. It will cost ye 5,000 gp for the work, no less, and without an apprentice, ye'll have to stay here a full day and help me run the forge. |
| 59772 You will... cease your spellcasting and come with us! |
| 59773 Even if we fall, our numbers are many. You will be overwhelmed. |
| 59774 You bore me, mageling. You may take me in, but you WILL take the girl as well! |
| 59775 That sounds fine. Let's do it. |
| 59777 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59778 No, I don't think so. I think I'll be going now. |
| 59779 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59780 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59781 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59782 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59783 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59784 Two things, me friend. It will cost ye 7,500 gp for the work, no less, and without an apprentice, ye'll have to stay here a full day and help me run the forge. |
| 59785 That sounds fine. Let's do it. |
| 59786 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59787 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59788 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59789 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59790 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59791 No, I don't think so. I think I'll be going now. |
| 59792 Two things, me friend. It will cost ye 10,000 gp for the work, no less, and without an apprentice, ye'll have to stay here a full day and help me run the forge. |
| 59793 That sounds fine. Let's do it. |
| 59794 No, I don't think so. Do I have anything else useful? |
| 59795 No, I don't think so. I think I'll be going now. |
| 59796 As ye wish. Fer such a commission, we can start on it right away. No sense in wasting time, then... it be best if we just get to it. |
| 59797 Well, there ye go, me friend. Use it well. And if ye comes across anything else of interest, ye knows where to bring it, aye? |
| 59798 A good <DAYNIGHTALL> to ye, me friend. Good to see ye back in me forge, it is. Be there something that ye need? |
| 59799 What do you have for sale here? |
| 59800 What sorts of things would you need in order to make something? |
| 59801 Do I have anything you could forge into an item? |
| 59802 No, I don't think so. |
| 59803 What sorts of things do you forge here? |
| 59804 Give me anything you have pickpocketed, will you? |
| 59805 The familiar eyes you suspiciously. "But when I take things, they belong to me." |
| 59806 Never mind that. Hand it over. |
| 59807 Pretty please? I'll feed you and pet you... |
| 59808 Oh, never mind, then. |
| 59809 The small animal rolls its eyes and sighs petulantly. "Fine. But you are very cruel to me, you know." |
| 59810 The small animal twitches its tail, pondering. "Well... perhaps. But I would not put it past you not to keep your word. *sigh* Oh, very well. It amuses me when you beg." |
| 59811 "As it should be. I earned it, after all." |
| 59812 Give me anything you have pickpocketed, will you? |
| 59813 "*sigh* Very well. Although next time, don't expect such cooperation just from a few seconds of petting." |
| 59814 Aha! It is the wielder, the thief, and the defiler! All in one being... strange. I thought there would be three. You there! Have you no twin <BROTHERSISTER>s? |
| 59815 Are you talking to me? |
| 59816 What kind of babbling nonsense is this? |
| 59817 What do you want, githyanki? |
| 59818 A question with a question! I see <HISHER> mind is far deeper than I expected. Layers and layers of duplicity and deceit. I must be subtle with this one. |
| 59819 Perhaps I should start again before <HESHE> gets suspicious. Hm. Yes, I think this would be best. |
| 59820 (Ahem!) You there, <RACE> <MANWOMAN>! My freedom from limbo has a price: I must track down the thief of one of our most holy of holies. |
| 59821 You know, I heard you the first time. |
| 59822 What are you talking about? I have no idea. |
| 59823 You don't mean the Silver Sword Blade, do you? |
| 59824 Back off, githyanki! You'll take nothing of mine! |
| 59825 You did? Really? You know, being a wild mage isn't all it's cracked up to be. My mentor always said "See the spoon, see the spoon." But I only saw frogs. |
| 59826 *sigh* I'm trying very hard to communicate. They chose me because I have the most experience with humans. It got me out of limbo, and that's a GOOD thing. |
| 59827 Ack! You know what it's called?! I trained three years as a wild mage before they let me in on that one. My mentor tended to grunt... training was a bitch. |
| 59828 I don't want anything of YOURS... just what's ours. The githyanki don't take just anyone from their limbo prison... I have experience with humans. |
| 59829 So now. I've been very patient because you ARE a lesser being. I'm trying not to overwhelm you with my psionics just by accident. See how nice I am? |
| 59830 So hand over the Silver Sword Blade, and we'll all be happy. Well, maybe you won't be happy, but you won't be DEAD, and that's got to be better, right? |
| 59831 So are you going to hand over the sacred blade or not? |
| 59832 If it's that important to your people, then here. Take it. |
| 59833 Very well. I don't want any trouble. |
| 59834 No, I will not. It is mine now. |
| 59835 Never! I'll kill you with it first! |
| 59836 Most kind of you, dear <RACE>. Now I'm free to go about my merry way... until the next time I end up in Limbo. *sigh* Nothing's quite so bad as a wild surge. |
| 59837 I did say I was a wild mage, right? If I end up having to cast a spell here, I won't be held responsible for it. So hand over the blade, or do I start casting? |
| 59838 Fine, fine. Take it and begone! |
| 59839 Do your worst. |
| 59840 Yeeesh... I wouldn't say that. My worst can be pretty bad... |
| 59841 Master <CHARNAME>, I come to ask a favor. I am in need of a laboratory to continue my own magical studies. Since I learned so much from you during my time here, I had hoped that you would permit me to study here. |
| 59842 I've just completed a batch of potions, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Here you go. |
| 59843 A few more days and the potions will be ready, I promise. |
| 59844 No! My name is Habib Khalid Achmed Allafif, and I cannot be captured! I will throw my mighty scimitar at your head rather than suffer the indignity of prison! Hiiii-YAA! |
| 59845 Oh... dear. You really must forgive him. He does that on occasion. |
| 59846 Who WAS that?! |
| 59847 One of the locals. A... ah... thief, I believe, from Calimshan. His name is Habib, and as far as I can tell, he feels guilty about his profession, so he tolls to Ilmater for forgiveness. |
| 59848 So why doesn't he tithe like a regular person?! |
| 59849 He throws his money into the church? |
| 59850 That's it! I'm going to kill him! |
| 59851 He is afraid to come into the church for fear we will turn him in. Poor, skittish fellow. Have mercy on him, dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 59852 I'll try and keep out of your hair, and to pay my way, I intend to create potions and oils for you to use. Will you accept me as your apprentice? |
| 59853 And what? Accept a spy of the Cowled Wizards under my own roof? I think not. Go. |
| 59854 You may stay, but one mistake and you're out. |
| 59855 Yes, Morul, I'd be pleased to have you as an apprentice. |
| 59856 Very well. I will find another sponsor. I won't forget this insult, <CHARNAME>. |
| 59857 Thank you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, I won't disappoint you. Return every week, and I'll give you the potions that I've made. |
| 59858 Hah! What, are you trying to convince me that you're still part of the Order, eh, Reynald? You still think you're some kind of goody-goody paladin, eh? |
| 59859 You know what I hear? I hear you lost your paladin-hood due to some moxie that seduced and used you like a patsy! What was her name now? Celestine, wasn't it? |
| 59860 You know nothing of her, fool! And while I may no longer meet the Order's standards, I'll not stand by and listen to a cur such as you cheapen Celestine's name! |
| 59861 Well met, <CHARNAME>. I am Reynald de Chatillon, once of the Order and now under the leadership of Anarg. Might you be interested in employment? |
| 59862 No, I don't think so. |
| 59863 If the pay is adequate, you might hire our services. |
| 59864 How did you come to leave the Order, if I may ask? |
| 59865 How did you come to leave the Order? |
| 59866 There are several of us here who, for one reason or another, are unworthy of the vows we once took. We... do not share the particulars of our downfall. |
| 59867 I believe you know what I speak of. We seek the solace of each other's company and Anarg's leadership because we come from the same place. |
| 59868 I would not expect one who is not Fallen to understand. We... seek the solace of each other's company because we come from the same place. |
| 59869 Regardless, we find ourselves in need of aid, and you fight well. Might you be interested in helping us? |
| 59870 No, I don't think so. |
| 59871 I might be. |
| 59872 Most excellent! I must beg your forgiveness, however, since I must ask you to perform an act of good faith first. Anarg is... cautious in whom he meets. |
| 59873 With good reason, no doubt. All of us have been betrayed. Sometimes even by those we love. *sigh* We no longer trust as we once did. |
| 59874 Perform this act for my commander, and he will extend his trust to you, and you will be rewarded well. Otherwise, we can part ways here, neither the worse off. |
| 59875 My name is <CHARNAME>, and I am seeking your leader to discuss business. |
| 59876 But... one question before you leave. The warrior who stands with you... he bears a most remarked resemblance to Sir Keldorn Firecam. It has been so long... |
| 59877 But... one question before you leave. The priest there is none other than Anomen Delryn, no? A member of the Order! Just what are you attempting? |
| 59878 I... I see. Forgive me, then. I receive so little news of the Order... it does not matter. I wish you well, my <LADYLORD>, and hope to see you soon. |
| 59879 I am not the one you seek, Reynald de Chatillon. You are mistaken. I feel pity for one who has been reduced to pettiness and evil, no more. |
| 59880 The Order has turned me out as the self-righteous fools that they are, a feeling you should know well, Reynald. |
| 59881 I have, ah... not passed my Test. I am no knight, Reynald, and nothing for you to be concerned over. |
| 59882 Wh-what?! B-but... no! No! I have been betrayed! |
| 59883 Anarg! What are you doing?! |
| 59884 Fight on your own, then! I will not join you in this! Obviously, you are not the knight I thought you to be. |
| 59885 You trust too easily still, Reynald. We cannot allow ourselves to be exposed! |
| 59886 You are a fool to bring Keldorn before me. Do you think I would not recognize him, even after all this time? I still have ears in the Order... I know why you are here, Sir Keldorn. |
| 59887 This servant is here to serve <CHARNAME>. Give it orders so that it may obey. |
| 59888 You can best protect me by following me. |
| 59889 Stay here. |
| 59890 Patrol the planar sphere, and report any problems to me. |
| 59891 This servant may not leave the planar sphere, but it will protect you while within it. |
| 59892 This servant will patrol the sphere for <CHARNAME>. |
| 59893 This servant will remain here until ordered otherwise. |
| 59894 Worse still, they seem to have... some sort of snake creatures with them. I'd never seen anything like that, but I guess I'd never seen a lot of things. |
| 59895 Worse yet, there are some kind of snake creatures with them. I had never seen the like of them before, but I've been sheltered most of my life. |
| 59896 They seem to be going out of their way to not damage the keep. Never heard of careful trolls, but maybe they just like the cellar better. The cellar is... |
| 59897 (Minsc is charmed by the dryads and will not speak to you. You shall have to agree to help them if you want Minsc back.) |
| 59898 According to legend, the tomb contains seven guardians. The last guards the burial chamber and is invisible even to the strongest magics. |
| 59899 If the legends are true, I'm not sure how you would get by such a creature. There may be clues beyond this door to guide you towards such an end. |
| 59900 You have yet to retrieve the gem from the basement. Return to me once you have it in your possession. |
| 59901 I found this old text inside... this wouldn't be the book you're looking for, would it? |
| 59902 Er... no, no. The ones I seek detail Strohm's life. They'll be within his burial chamber and, I suspect, much better preserved than this text. |
| 59915 Off with you! I'm waiting for someone. |
| 59916 You will all DIE for what you've done to me! |
| 59931 Go. You have no claim here. You have nothing. |
| 59932 This day is your last! |
| 59947 To serve in the Order is a great honor. |
| 59948 Your evil dies here! |
| 59963 Never betray trust. Such is the will of the Vigilant One. |
| 59964 Duty demands justice be done! |
| 59978 In dawn, beauty reigns, and the way is clearer. |
| 59979 You'll not live to see another dawn! |
| 59994 Bow before the Stormbringer, fool! |
| 59995 The storms will take you! |
| 60010 A wand is mounted on this pedestal. A key that matches the wand must be found if you wish to pass before the pedestal without being blasted by the wand. |
| 60011 Perhaps the mosaics on the floor will offer hints as to the type of wand and the type of key that must be found to take the wand from the pedestal. |
| 60012 You insert the key into a slot near the base, and the wand is released. It is safe to pass before this pedestal. |
| 60013 There's no life better than the thieves' guild. |
| 60014 For the guild! |
| 60027 Guarded Compound |
| 60030 This and that to be done. No time to stay and chatter. |
| 60031 If reason will not suffice, I shall school ye through example! |
| 60046 Guild affairs are an important matter. All part of the job. |
| 60047 A dagger's death for ye! |
| 60062 Chief Inspector Brega, at your service. |
| 60063 You'll pay for your crimes! |
| 60065 Justice... will be... served... ugh... |
| 60079 Suspended, I be... dead... dying... |
| 60080 You will suffer as I have! |
| 60081 Ai! |
| 60082 Oblivion... |
| 60095 I will always be grateful for your assistance. |
| 60096 You will die NOW! |
| 60097 Ughh! |
| 60098 I... will... hunt you... in the Underworld! *groan* |
| 60102 Many centuries ago, a trumpet archon named Chin Yi fell in love with a mortal man in Shou Lung and swore to protect him from enemies should he ever ride to war. When that time came, however, Chin Yi's patron goddess Kwan Ying forbade her to intervene, not wishing to contribute to the bloodshed. When Chin Yi's beloved was cut down by a yuan-ti warlord, her grief was terrible and her wrath immediate: Ignoring Kwan Ying's warnings, she flew onto the battlefield and took up her beloved's katana, using the blade to cut down the warlord and all those who served him. She continued the slaughter of the yuan-ti army until Kwan Ying herself appeared before her, arms open and eyes full of sympathy. "If it will stop this slaughter, I will ease your pain and end your suffering." "I do not wish to end my suffering," replied Chin Yi. "I wish for my fury to sound throughout the ages, now and forever." Wanting to help her servant, but not wishing to unleash such powerful fury on the world, Kwan Ying bound Chin Yi's spirit to the blade of the man she had failed to protect, and then hid the weapon in a warrior's tomb. The tomb was later infiltrated and the weapon stolen, and although Chin Yi's cries could no longer be heard through the steel of the blade, her vengeance was as brutal as ever.

| 60113 (Huuurm.) You are back, I see. |
| 60114 This should be... interesting... |
| 60115 Augh! |
| 60116 I... spit upon you! |
| 60128 Is there... is there something you need? |
| 60129 You... you won't get away with this! |
| 60130 Ahhh! |
| 60131 Ooooh... |
| 60144 What is it? |
| 60146 Very well! Your end comes now! |
| 60160 What is it now? |
| 60161 You cannot understand! My work must go on! |
| 60163 No! No! *pant* This cannot be! |
| 60176 Greetings. |
| 60177 In the name of the Order, I will strike thee down! |
| 60178 Augh! |
| 60179 Torm... your servant returns to you... |
| 60192 Oh, it's you again. |
| 60193 Surrender or I will be forced to kill you! |
| 60194 Aaah! |
| 60195 Noo...! Ohh... |
| 60208 Greetings once again. |
| 60209 You shall not prevail against righteousness! |
| 60210 Ahh! |
| 60211 The gods... shall avenge me... |
| 60224 I serve my mistress, and no other. |
| 60225 You are foolish to face my mistress! |
| 60240 Ribald Barterman at yer service. |
| 60241 The Adventure Mart's the finest shopping in all of Faerûn: widest selection, lowest prices, and nary a fancy illustration. Just the goods, bare and plain. |
| 60242 What can we do to make yer dreams come true today? |
| 60243 Peddlers, artisans, or hellspawn, I care nae a blot. All that matters is the deal, and Ribald's here to make one with ya. |
| 60246 It's a cold an' dreary day when the Thumb can't extend a bit o' hospitality to his guests. Come, enter and be welcome at the Sea's Bounty. |
| 60247 Ahh... a tavern is good fer drinking, singing, and playin'... anythin' else on yer mind, ye may as well git yerself elsewhere. |
| 60248 We don't have none o' yer fancy stuff, if ye've a mind. Grog, plain and simple. Anythin' else an' I'll have t' search the cellar. |
| 60249 Welcome to the Sea's Bounty! Don't ye be mindin' the smell o' fish now. |
| 60252 Yes? You have something to report? |
| 60253 You seek my death? A fool's errand! |
| 60254 You cannot win! |
| 60269 I see... I see... oh! |
| 60270 I will see no more! |
| 60273 Come before me. |
| 60274 The vengeance of Lolth upon you! |
| 60275 Your death will be agonizing! |
| 60282 I don't think I've met your like before. |
| 60290 Who beckons? |
| 60291 Do not be foolish. You would be destroyed. |
| 60292 As you wish. We battle. |
| 60295 You live so long as I tolerate it. |
| 60296 This shall not take long. |
| 60297 Prepare, for the final sleep comes for you. |
| 60300 We can use whatever help we can get these days. |
| 60301 I won't let you do this! |
| 60302 Not in my town! |
| 60309 Well, what have we here? |
| 60317 This is a dark time for us all, but there is hope. |
| 60318 For the heart of us all! |
| 60319 The Exile will not prevail! |
| 60326 You've an odd look about you. |
| 60334 Haha, this here's the life... *if* I let you live it. |
| 60335 You'll rot in the depths, you will! |
| 60336 Learn your place! |
| 60351 Maybe I be you now. |
| 60352 You are no more! I be you forever, maybe! |
| 60355 Bad dog! Away with you! |
| 60356 All dogs go to heaven! |
| 60359 Yes, yes, you have my attention. |
| 60360 Strike together, friends! |
| 60361 'Tis your lives to waste! |
| 60376 There is much to be done yet. |
| 60377 You shall not find the elves a simple target! |
| 60380 Die on the edge of elven steel! |
| 60395 I greet you in the name of Suldanessellar. |
| 60396 I call upon the Seldarine to stop you! |
| 60397 Your reign of terror stops here, I swear! |
| 60400 *sigh* Yet more come to torment me? Ohh... |
| 60401 I would welcome a release from this prison. |
| 60403 I... I am most grateful... May the heavens sing your praises! |
| 60404 Mother Nature feeds me that I might fight for her! |
| 60405 Come to your death! |
| 60406 Your pitiful existence ends now! |
| 60408 Mother! I beg you! Aid me! Noo-ooo! |
| 60420 Sequencer spells allow the caster to store several spells in a sequencer that can be released upon any target, including the caster. The spells stored in the sequencer are cast as any other spell and can be accessed through the Special Abilities button on the main screen. It is important to note that when you choose the spells to be stored in the sequencer, they will disappear from the ones you have memorized. However, the sequencer will last until used, so the caster may rest and gain those spells back. The main use for this spell would be to allow the caster to release multiple spells upon a target very quickly in combat without the possibility of being interrupted. |
| 60422 I await the child of Bhaal. |
| 60423 I fear nothing! |
| 60426 You see... and that is your flaw. |
| 60427 In the name of the Unseeing Eye! |
| 60428 Blasphemous, sighted fiend! |
| 60430 No! Unseeing One... preserve me! |
| 60443 I'll be of help to ye, if I can. |
| 60444 You'll learn your mistake soon enough! |
| 60445 No one defeats the Shadow Thieves! |
| 60460 The stones shall have you! |
| 60461 Protect the granitehomes! |
| 60478 Fool! |
| 60481 Misled |
| 60482 Ahh... Theater life is never dull. |
| 60484 Shadows dragged me to this cage some time ago... Without the benefit of the sun or the sky, I cannot tell just how long I have been here. |
| 60485 Foul miscreants! Prepare to be swabbed! |
| 60500 You are but a gnat compared to my power. |
| 60501 You cannot hope to defeat me! |
| 60502 Die! Die! All of you, DIE! |
| 60505 Ho ho ho... you are wondrously strange. |
| 60506 Sekolah... take them! |
| 60507 I am the stronger! |
| 60510 Oh, bother... |
| 60511 Time to perish, manling! |
| 60527 I am Khan Zahraa, genie of distinction! |
| 60528 I grant your death wish! |
| 60529 Die, most unworthy foe! |
| 60544 You are welcome within my realm! |
| 60545 You cannot hope to defeat me! |
| 60546 You shall fall before the might of Kalah! |
| 60548 Noo-oooo...! |
| 60561 I am sorry, we are busy right now. You will have to come back later. |
| 60562 Death will be welcome after so long... |
| 60563 What took me an age to learn will take a moment to kill you! |
| 60564 I will not suffer this! |
| 60579 WHAT is it?! |
| 60580 Die, then, and die slowly! |
| 60581 You are a fool to challenge me. |
| 60596 I serve this land regardless. |
| 60597 For your lands and home! |
| 60598 For the honor of the keep! |
| 60613 Mmm, me pretties... |
| 60617 Ahh, it is you again. |
| 60618 All in my way shall fall! |
| 60619 Lolth! Bring me glory! |
| 60626 It is practically beneath me to address you. |
| 60633 I await the child of Bhaal. |
| 60634 You are a fool! |
| 60637 You require something, child? |
| 60638 We shall not fall so easily! |
| 60639 You truly think me helpless?! |
| 60640 Ugh! |
| 60641 Ahh! My love... I am sorry... |
| 60654 Yes, I'm still here. |
| 60655 Crossing me is the last mistake you'll make! |
| 60656 All right, enough of this. Time to die. |
| 60671 Aye? Speak your mind, if you must. |
| 60672 For gloryâ€â€and all the women that come with it! |
| 60673 On your guard, fools! |
| 60674 Augh! ...That's gonna leave a mark. |
| 60688 So we meet again. |
| 60689 Now I return the favor! |
| 60692 *sigh* The days drag on... |
| 60693 I will fight unto the end! |
| 60694 We will endure! |
| 60709 I await the child of Bhaal. |
| 60710 You may try to destroy me... if you wish. |
| 60713 You continue to be an oddity here. |
| 60714 Sekolah will feast tonight! |
| 60715 Your life ends with this! |
| 60718 Wither in my embrace... |
| 60719 The time has come to feast upon your soul... |
| 60720 You were foolish to come. |
| 60722 No! This cannot be! |
| 60723 Lavok disappeared with the sphere over five centuries ago. It has not been seen again until now. |
| 60724 I see you there. |
| 60725 Feel the fury of the ancients! |
| 60729 My ancestor, the necromancer Lavok, built that sphere and disappeared with it over five centuries ago. It has not been seen since, until its reappearance. |
| 60741 *pant* I will not fall here today... I will not! |
| 60742 My ancestor, the necromancer Lavok, built that sphere and disappeared with it over five centuries ago. It has not been seen since, until its reappearance. |
| 60743 Please, do not interrupt our thoughts. We must prepare carefully if we are to see a weakness in the illithid web. |

| 60760 I do what I must when I must. Know this well. |
| 60761 For the honor of the Fighters' Guild! |
| 60762 In Lolth's name! |
| 60777 I do what I must. |
| 60778 You will not escape me! |
| 60779 Die as you should! |
| 60794 Tiax shall rule the world! Just you wait... |
| 60795 Tiax will smite thee! |
| 60798 Hngh? |
| 60799 You die! We eats good! |
| 60803 I act for the best of all. |
| 60804 Death to all in my way! |
| 60805 The exiles must live! |
| 60820 Not again! I'll not lose again! |
| 60821 A fatal error! |
| 60835 Not now! The asylum takes all my time! |
| 60836 It's mine! All mine! You can't have it! |

| 60862 Crom Faeyr +5 |
| 60863 This is the true name that the dwarven weaponsmith, Silverblade, gave to the weapon he intended to create for his son. Alas, his son died before the weapon was ever completed, but here it stands complete... forged from the combined magic of the original hammer with the gauntlets of ogre power and a girdle of frost giant strength. Crom Faeyr gifts its users with all the powers of the original Hammer of Thunderbolts, in addition to enormous strength and the ability to kill golems, ettins, and trolls in one blow. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Strength: 25 Combat abilities: – Slays stone golems, clay golems, ettins, and trolls THAC0: +5 Damage: 2d4+3, +5 electrical Damage type: Crushing Speed Factor: 1 Proficiency Type: War Hammer Type: One-handed Weight: 4 |
| 60864 This is a part of the Equalizer, a great long sword forged long ago as a tool for balancing the powers of the universe. Also known as the "sword of neutrality," it did greater damage the further the target's alignment was from True Neutral. The Equalizer was last rumored to have been wielded by the elven hero Alaine Greenleaf, who was lost during a voyage to the Underdark. Other rumors have, however, proposed that the blade's pommel gem was stolen by an escaped slave who returned to the surface world. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 60865 Glasses of Identification |
| 60866 Such is the age of this sword that its true origin has been lost to time, but markings hint that it was possibly forged in the service of Helm. Also called the "Sword of Neutrality," it seems designed to seek and terminate extremes, to shift the universe closer to harmonious equilibrium. The further the behavior of a target from true balance, the more potent the damage they suffer. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Immunity to charm and confusion Combat abilities: – Strikes as a +3 weapon THAC0 & Damage: vs. True Neutral: +0 to hit, 1d8 damage vs. Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Neutral: +1 to hit, 1d8+2 damage vs. Neutral Good, Neutral Evil: +2 to hit, 1d8+4 damage vs. Other Alignments: +3 to hit, 1d8+6 damage Damage type: Slashing Speed Factor: 3 Proficiency Type: Long Sword Type: One-handed Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 3 |
| 60867 The finest bow crafted by Gesen Khan, this weapon draws energy from another plane, firing spears of lightning instead of arrows... and therefore never requiring ammunition of any kind. It is said that Gesen prepared to retire from his craft after selling the invaluable weapon, only to have the bow wrested from his grasp by a thief who used it to end Gesen's own life. A side effect of the bow bestows protection from electricity upon the user. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Electrical Resistance: +20% Combat abilities: – When no arrows are equipped, the bow fires missiles that are treated as +4 for the purposes of determining what enemies they can damage. The missiles receive +4, to hit including the bonus listed below, and deal a total of 2 piercing and 1d8 electrical damage THAC0: +4 Damage: +2 piercing, +1d8 electrical Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Shortbow Type: Two-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 2 |

| 60871 Forged in antiquity by a cult devoted to the goddess Umberlee, this weapon of vengeance was designed to aid the cult's champion in retrieving a holy artifact from the fire giants of the Storm Horn Mountains. That was a lot of hope to place in one champion, and unfortunately the Wave had been lost ever since. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – 15% chance of draining the victim of water (+15 cold damage) – Slays fire elementals, efreet, and salamanders THAC0: +4 Damage: 1d10+4 (piercing) Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Halberd Type: Two-handed Requires: 13 Strength Weight: 12 |

| 60876 Boo says not to blame myself, but Boo is a hamster and not as concerned with honor. |
| 60877 This heavy mace was created for a very specific purpose: to slay undead. Any such creature hit by it not only feels the sting of weapon, but also has a chance of being simply blasted from existence. There are legends that speak of a priest so holy a single glancing touch could send a vampire to oblivion, but whether the weapon empowered her or she empowered it is a topic for theologians. Now that the mace has been coated with illithium, it is even more potent, conferring to its user immunity to the life-draining powers of the more powerful undead. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Immunity to level drain Combat abilities: – Undead must save vs. Death at -4 or be utterly destroyed THAC0: +2 (strikes as a +5 weapon) Damage: 1d6+3, 2d6+4 vs. undead Damage type: Crushing Speed Factor: 6 Proficiency Type: Mace Type: One-handed Requires: 10 Strength Weight: 8 |

| 60890 Hmph. Well, you may talk with the Lady if you wish, but if she decides to throw you out on your ear, I will certainly call the guards. |
| 60891 I no more want the trip than you do, so I will not force and I will not leave, but I cannot rest easy until we go. |
| 60892 If you wish, Dermin, you may return whence you came with the message that "Jaheira the Harper" is dead. |
| 60893 Perhaps we will meet again, but I shall not look forward to it! |
| 60894 You're young, Aerie... You'll figure it out soon enough. |
| 60895 I... I am sorry. I did not wish to disturb you with this. In my... my dream, we WERE under attack, in a battle we had long since won, but it was different. |
| 60896 Ah, I understand. Most of us would tend towards equilibrium. It would require effort to pull in one direction or another. |
| 60897 He did not dwell on things and wished I would not either. I wonder what... |
| 60898 A royal house of Tethyr devastated by murder and death, specifically seven princesses that met their end on the same night. |
| 60899 Greetings, death match participants. For all of you here, you will NOT be able to attack or cast spells while you are in this room. |
| 60900 The goal of this contest is to retrieve the three death match ROGUE stones from the dungeon below us. They have been hidden in random containers. |
| 60901 While on the level below us, you will be able to use any form of attack to take other ROGUE stones from fellow deathmatchers. |
| 60902 When you are killed, you will be respawned up on this floor, so that the contest may continue. Bessen will allow you to rest and memorize spells, as well as heal you. |
| 60904 You must move closer to examine the door panel. |
| 60905 You do not have all three rogue stones. Return when you have all three stones. |
| 60906 Thank me not, slave; I will kill you for Lehtinan. The reward for the deed is adequate. |
| 60907 You have WON! |
| 60908 Lehtinan wanted me to kill you, and I agreed, but it was only a ruse to obtain a key. You are free, Hendak, to take your revenge. |

| 60917 There's this girl, Nalia, in the Copper Coronet; she says her land's been invaded. A big strong fighter like yerself might be of use. Do you want me to show you to the Copper Coronet? |
| 60918 Yes. I'll see what troubles this Nalia has. |
| 60919 I'll be fine on my own. |
| 60920 If you go to the Bridge District, there's this place called the Five Flagons. They gots some sort of play goin' on there. You're a bard, eh? Maybe you'd want to check it out. Do you want me to show you the way to the edge of the slums? |
| 60921 Certainly, I will seek out the Five Flagons and watch the play. |
| 60922 I'll be fine on my own. |
| 60923 Okay, then... make sure to stay close, 'cause I don't have time to wait for ya. |
| 60924 Hello, <GABBER>. It is... good to see you again. *sigh* The funeral was... was just horrible! |
| 60925 No, but you do seem to require my validation by spouting a random insult where none was deserved. Dwell on that while we fade. |
| 60926 But I will speak no more, out of respect for your... what was it again? Ah yes, your little stick. |
| 60927 I will await you at the grove I have marked on your map. Do not tarry; our task is difficult, and time is short. |
| 60928 We parted on the best of terms, under what I thought were good circumstances. If I was wrong, I will make amends. Come, I should find my old home. |

| 60932 A selective sun may also choose to prolong your damp, but who am I to say? |
| 60933 Well, Cowled Wizards who want your blood can be funny that way, all demanding and such. Good thing you were able to tell him all about the one left, eh? |
| 60934 You may think I don't know where this is going, but you're wrong. I'll not stand here and be made the victim of a snappy comeback. Begone, louts, all of you. |
| 60935 Of more use? Certainly a cultivated field yields more produce in the short term, but the bounty of the wild feeds many over longer time. |
| 60936 Not many druids will agree with you, and for good reason. Nature is the mother of all; balance is not found in restricting her to gardens and farms. |
| 60937 Not the prettiest of pictures, I know, but you cannot fault the canvas. |
| 60938 Not that it is my place to criticize; you must find your own balance. While you teeter on your way, however, just be sure to remember your greater duty. |

| 60941 Isaea Roenall was there... the boy my father engaged me to. He seems determined to press the engagement, even though I refuse to have anything to do with him. |
| 60942 Isaea has... connections... being an important member of the guard. I think he believes I've threatened his reputation, and he might do something drastic! This is terrible! |
| 60943 Can I travel with you again? I would feel safer... and there's nothing left around here for me anyway. What do you think? |
| 60944 Certainly, come along. |
| 60945 Sorry, Nalia... you'll have to find your own way for now. |
| 60946 Forget it! If it isn't one thing with you, it's another, and I'll not be bothered! |
| 60947 That's a relief. Let's get out of here, then... the farther I am from the Roenalls, the happier I'll be! |
| 60948 *sigh* I suppose you're right. I doubt I'll be going far from here, though, anytime soon. I don't think Isaea will look for me in the slums. Maybe we'll meet again? |
| 60949 All of natures' creatures live in some measure of harmony with her. You are not in opposition as such, but you are discordant. |
| 60950 This is not a matter of character. Some things are deeper, and though you can take the leopard far from the jungles, he still has his spots. |
| 60951 Well, I'm not about to wait around and see what the Roenalls have in store for me. Have it your way, then... if I'm lucky, we won't meet again! |
| 60952 I make no accusations; I simply wish to know why you seem different to me. There is no assumption of wrongdoing, though your reluctance makes me worry further. |
| 60953 My duty tells me to be curious; other than that, I am at a loss. You have shown you are not a danger, but perhaps I do not know what you are capable of. |
| 60954 Well, certainly a disturbing origin, though it changes nothing in our dynamic. I am still Cernd, and you are still <CHARNAME>. |
| 60955 Your manner bears the scars of your origin, though the god that formed you is dead and gone. I shall treat you as I would any other. |
| 60956 No, no, I do not mean we should relieve ourselves wherever we wish. Animals are not more disgusting or reckless; rather, they are more tranquil. |
| 60957 This will allow new trees and plants to grow and feed new generations of stag. There is balance and contentment in this. |
| 60958 Ye're a cleric of some kind, ain't ye? Well, they says there's troubles with some cult in the Temple District. Maybe that's the sorta thing ye'd be interested in. I can takes ye to the edge o' the slums if ye likes. |
| 60959 Certainly. Let me see what is occurring in the Temple District. |
| 60960 I'm sure I'll be fine on my own. |
| 60961 I'd prefer it if you took me to the nearest tavern, actually. |
| 60962 I'd prefer it if you took me to the nearest tavern, actually. |
| 60963 The Shadow Thieves are lookin' for someone like ye to help 'em out. Don't know much about it... but if ye goes to the Docks District, I'm sure someone like ye could find out. If ye likes, I can takes ye to the edge of the slums, aye? |
| 60964 Sure, I'll go to the docks and check it out. |
| 60965 Actually, I'd rather you take me to the nearest tavern. |
| 60966 Never mind, I'll be fine on my own. |

Anyways... ye're a ranger, and ye can go wanderin' in the forest to find out about it, no doubt. Want me to takes ye to the edge of the slums? |
| 60968 Sure, I'll see if I can find this boy and hear his story. |
| 60969 Actually, I'd rather go to the nearest tavern. |
| 60970 Never mind... I can find my own way. |
| 60971 Ye're some noble type, right? Hmmm... I hears there's this rich feller lookin' to hire a hero like you to clear the monsters offa his land. He's in the Copper Coronet... some Lord Jierdan or other. I could takes ye there if ye likes. |
| 60972 Certainly. I'll see what this Lord Jierdan has to say. |
| 60973 Never mind... I'll find my own way. |
| 60974 Ye're a wizard or somethin', right? Well... me boys tell me there's this feller named Madeen in the Government District... he's workin' fer the Cowled Wizards and offering some job. I could takes ye to the edge of the slums if ye wants to check it out. |
| 60975 Certainly. I'll look for this Madeen in the Government District. |
| 60976 Actually, I'd prefer to go to the nearest tavern. |
| 60977 Never mind... I can find my own way. |
| 60978 There's some feller in the City Gate District by the name of Flydian... says he's got some problem with animals or druids or somethin'. That's up yer alley, ain't it? I could takes ye to the edge of the slums if ye wish. |
| 60979 Certainly. I'd like to speak to this Flydian. |
| 60980 Never mind... I can find my own way. |
| 60981 Do you make any special weapons? |
| 60982 Maheer does not possess the craft to create weapons himself. There is a fine dwarven smith in this city who knows such skills. |
| 60983 The stout one's name be Cromwell, my <LADYLORD>... and his shop is within the Docks District here in the city. |
| 60984 I will tell you one thing, my <LADYLORD>... I can create the finest of musical hornsâ€â€the dwarf knows not this art. |
| 60985 Hmmm. I see that you have a silver horn in your possession, casadhi. If you had but a diamond as well, I could increase the item's power, surely enough. |
| 60986 But enough of my meanderings, yes? Perhaps you would like to look at Maheer's stock of weapons now? |
| 60987 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 60988 No, I'm not interested. |
| 60989 I see you have the bronze horn in your possession. A fine instrument. Acquire a beljuril gem, and it could become even finer, I assure you. |
| 60990 I see you have the silver horn. Hmmm... and a diamond! If you wish, for 2,000 gold pieces, I could create a more powerful instrument! |
| 60991 If you could make the silver horn more powerful, it's worth it. |
| 60992 No, I'm not interested right now. |
| 60993 As you wish! My family art... ahhhh... and a bronze horn you have, my <LADYLORD>. IF you ever acquire a beljuril gem, I could do even more. But here you go. |
| 60994 If that is what you wish, it is not my business to convince you otherwise, casadhi. It is a fine horn, even if you do not wish to improve on it. |
| 60995 Ahhh... you have a beljuril and the bronze horn. With 5,000 gold pieces, I could take these and make you the finest of instruments. |
| 60996 Certainly. That sounds like a deal. |
| 60997 No, I don't think so. |
| 60998 Ah, yes... the old magic of my family shall turn your fine horn into the great iron horn. Rarely have I seen its like, casadhi... Here you go. Use it well. |
| 60999 What sorts of weapons do you sell? |
| 61000 No, I don't need anything. |
| 61001 As you wish, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 61002 The attentions of a wide-eyed dog do little for me, however... so keep your eyes ahead of us. |
| 61003 One more thing, <CHARNAME>: Have you begun to miss control over your guild yet? Some take to guild life easier than others; perhaps you wish another chance? |
| 61004 So there is a way for me to lead the guild again? |
| 61005 No, I think I'm fine on my own for now. |
| 61006 No. You and I do not consider time the same, and it will not kill you to listen to what I have to say, <CHARNAME>. |
| 61007 Ho, Valygar! Are these friends of yours, comrade? You do not... need our help, perhaps? |
| 61008 No, Derrick, it is quite fine. I thank you for your vigilance, however. You and the other rangers have been quite helpful over the last few weeks. |
| 61009 As you say then, friend. Should you have further need of our help, we'll not be far away. |
| 61010 Back off, <MANWOMAN>. I'm here to make sure nothing happens to Mr. R and nothing else, got it? |
| 61011 We won't get far on our own. Is there anyone here who can join with us? |
| 61012 Minsc and Jaheira are just northeast of us, trapped in cells sorta like yours. We should free them and then find some gear. |
| 61013 No, this cannot be! The murderer of Dynaheir flees from righteous butt-kicking vengeance! And he takes Imoen with him too! |
| 61014 Something must be done, <CHARNAME>! We must find this evil wizard! All that is goodness cries out for this! Even little Boo, although he cannot cry out quite so loudly. |
| 61015 I find it odd that this Irenicus would leave of his own volition. And why take Imoen when it is <CHARNAME> he is so obviously interested in? Perhaps he expects us to give chase? |
| 61016 We must step carefully then. We know little about him... whom he was fighting, who took him, or even where we are. We seem to be drawn into machinations not of our own making. |
| 61017 No! We must go quickly and save our friend Imoen! The wizard may be leering over her evilly even now! |
| 61018 Do not be foolish, Minsc. We must know our enemies... and the extent of our danger here... before we rush into anything. |
| 61019 The druid is right, my large friend. The wizard obviously had great power, and I doubt we have seen the last of him. Perhaps we should see if allies can be found here. |
| 61020 Odd that the wizard would stop fighting... and odder still that he would demand that your young companion be taken, <CHARNAME>, and not you. |
| 61021 Obviously, there is more here than meets the eye. We must get our bearings, I think, and find out what lies behind all this... and why you have become involved. |
| 61022 I think your druid friend is right, <CHARNAME>. I doubt we've seen the last of this wizard. Perhaps there are allies to be found here who might explain your involvement in all this. |
| 61023 While I do not have quite the enthusiasm of your large friend, <CHARNAME>, I do agree that we must move quickly to protect ourselves. |
| 61024 We do not know anything about this wizard, or whom he was fighting and why... or what your involvement in all this is. You need to find allies, <CHARNAME>. |
| 61025 This servant obeys only <CHARNAME>. |
| 61026 Uh... well, I |
| 61027 Oh yes! Adventure! But I suppose you must know all about that with Uncle Jan in your party. Never has there been a gnome with such a nose for trouble. |
| 61028 I'll choose to take that as a compliment, my dear cousin. |
| 61029 I wouldn't if I were you. I'm including Uncle Scratchy in that list, cousin. But I suppose you'll be fine... so long as you don't kill your friends here. |
| 61030 Kylie, I'm positively hurt by your insinuations. |
| 61031 A good <DAYNIGHTALL> to you, cousin. Here... have a turnip. |
| 61032 Oh yes! Adventure! But you know all about that. *sigh* With Cousin Jan dead, things just haven't been the same. I think I need to get some more turnips. |
| 61033 Uh... well, I |
| 61034 What happened with your former companions, Korgan? |
| 61035 That's good to hear, Korgan. With any luck, we won't meet the same fate as them. |
| 61036 I was hoping for some moral to your tale, but you seem to revel in pointless bloodshed. |
| 61037 I can't say I approve of what you did, Korgan. I trust I will not meet the same fate. |
| 61038 Sounds like fun was had by all. Of course, others might treat you the same way. |
| 61039 Then we'll let it go and carry on, though I think I'll have you walk in front from now on. |
| 61040 Depends on how pathetic ye intend to be, I wager. Keep yerself stout and no worries. I expect the same o' meself. |
| 61041 If I be in position to do nothing, then I deserves what comes. Truly, I'd be happy if I be put out o' whining misery. Don't worry, I'd do the same fer you... |
| 61042 I walk where I please. If my knife at yer back makes ye nervous, that be your problem, not mine. Just ye keep stout and worthy o' leadin... |
| 61043 All under the auspices of the famous Sigil theater troupe, currently residing beneath the Five Flagons Inn. I do believe we've been on the Prime Material for almost three seasons now... |
| 61044 No, I'm sorry, none of them sound familiar. |
| 61045 You played Elminster? |
| 61046 Uh, the yugoloth, was it? Yeah, you stole the show with that one, if I recall. |
| 61047 Hi, I'm Bif. |
| 61048 etryui |
| 61049 So then, you are the <PRO_MANWOMAN> who is traveling with Yoshimo, yes? I've heard much about you and would rather speak to you than that thief, at any rate. |
| 61050 What, exactly, have you been told of me? |
| 61051 You want to see me and not Yoshimo? Why? What do you want? |
| 61052 I came here at Yoshimo's request. I won't stand here and be treated like a lackey. |
| 61053 Let me see what you have. |
| 61054 Do what you wish, I will participate only if I want to. |
| 61055 Thank you for playing the Preview Version of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. For the purposes of this demo, the main plot ends here, but you may continue to play any of the subquests from Chapters 1, 2 & 3. Have fun! BioWare |
| 61056 Thank you for playing the Preview Version of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. For the purposes of this demo, the main plot ends here, but you may continue to play any of the subquests from Chapters 1, 2 & 3. Have fun! BioWare |
| 61057 We had the chance to have a priestess "exorcise" the curse, but she's left now. Everyone's pretty jittery. |
| 61058 I didn't know what to do, so I told everyone to keep it to themselves. No one is pleased... *sigh* Too bad you weren't here. |
| 61059 You! 'Twere it not enough that my sister dryads should suffer at the hands of the wizard who cages them... but you would end their lives as well! |
| 61060 I shall avenge them! For Cania, Elyme, and Ulene, you shall perish, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 61061 But... but everything has not been put right! Are you sure you want to leave me here?! |
| 61062 Perhaps not. Join with me again. |
| 61063 Yes, stay here for now. |
| 61064 Al-all right. But... please help Quayle! Something has to be done! |
| 61065 Is everything all right? Do you want me to come with you again? |
| 61066 Yes, join up with me again. |
| 61067 Everything's fine. Stay here for now, Aerie. |
| 61068 Greetings. I trust everything is all right here? |
| 61069 Greetings. I trust everything is all right here? |
| 61070 Everything is fine, <GABBER>. Uncle Quayle is running the circus, although... although I would like to travel on my own someday. If you have need of me, I'll be here. |
| 61071 Everything is... all right. It isn't the same, however, with Quayle dead. *sigh* If you... if you have need of me, I'd like to travel away from here someday. |
| 61072 Hello, Aerie. Would you like to travel with me again? |
| 61073 No, I don't think so. I'll travel, someday... but I'll do it on my own. Thank you anyway, <GABBER>. |
| 61074 Ah! You've come, all of you! Most excellent! |
| 61075 I, uh, had to get Marcus to write a new score, and he'll be playing the music. He's not baaad... It's the best I could come up with without your help. |
| 61076 If you had been here, you could have taken care of them, <CHARNAME>... Now we're down plenty of props. *sigh* |
| 61077 I see only one chance... it's too late for anything else... <CHARNAME>... you must play Velden. You are a bard, naturally gifted... you observed our rehearsals. |
| 61078 I know you are female, but with the proper make-up, I'm sure you will look the part. It is all about poise and delivery, after all. |
| 61079 Good work in opening the bridge. My people will continue to engage them for as long as possible. I truly hope that we will draw enough of them out. Destroy the troll's leader for us, we beg of you! |
| 61080 Unless... <CHARNAME>, you are now a true force of righteousness, and I believe it is time for you to perform one final task, if you are willing. |
| 61081 There is an item, a holy artifact, that lies within the hands of a great evil. You have felt his presence before, and now I ask you to address it with finality. |
| 61082 Firkraag, the great red dragon, looms over the Windspear Hills. His reign must end, and from his lair you must retrieve the most holy of blades, the Avenger. |
| 61083 This tool of good has been in his possession for too long. <CHARNAME>, I call upon you to slay the dragon and make a statement for right and justice. |
| 61084 He holds a Holy Avenger? I will not rest until it is retrieved! |
| 61085 The blade will be rescued, but so shall the lands that he rules. |
| 61086 I don't know if I will survive, but I will face him regardless. |
| 61087 I cannot defeat such a creature! |
| 61088 This is a great risk, but it must be dealt with sometime. Go, and may the forces of good be your salvation. |
| 61089 His threat will not go away until you face him. I hope you will realize what must be done. Goodness protect you, no matter your actions. |
| 61090 The entire Order sends good wishes with you, <CHARNAME>. May you bring the swift hand of righteousness down upon the ancient red evil of Firkraag. |
| 61091 You have done a legendary thing this day, <CHARNAME>. You are truly an epic force for good, and an inspiration for the ages. |
| 61092 I can think of no one more worthy of wielding the holy avenger. In your hands, such a blade will strike deep to evil's heart. |
| 61093 Hah! And he thought himself a capable spellcaster! Perhaps those fools will think twice now before they send another of their goons to bellow hollow threats! |
| 61094 Everything not well between you and the Red Wizards, Edwin? |
| 61095 So what exactly did you do to anger the Thayans? |
| 61096 So! You're nothing better than a rogue and a liar! Not even a Red Wizard, I see! |
| 61097 All right, all right, let's just go. |
| 61098 Hmph. Let's just say that not every colleague is pleased with my disposition and I have been on an... extended leave from my compatriots in Thay. |
| 61099 Not that it's any of your business! Being saddled with the company of monkeys should be enough self-punishment for anyone! But enough! Let us away! |
| 61100 I am a Red Wizard, fool, and my difficulties with my colleagues are but a momentary obstacle! Continue to mock me, and you'll be speaking from a charred stump! |
| 61101 So be it. I've had enough banal chitchat of late to last me several lifetimes. |
| 61102 Fine, fine. Let's just move on, then. |
| 61103 You've given me enough grief, wizard! Leave... and take your attitude with you. |
| 61104 You've threatened me once too often, Edwin! |
| 61105 As you would have it, foolish little <PRO_MANWOMAN>! There are a thousand other uses for my skills besides wasting them on such as you! |
| 61106 Not often enough, it seems! |
| 61107 Not often enough, it seems! But I'll not waste another moment with you here! A million other exploits await elsewhere! |
| 61108 You've threatened me once too often, Edwin! |
| 61109 As for the boy, that must be why I recognize your eyes. He has never known you. What claim have you to him? Do you even know of his name? |
| 61110 Perhaps you could tell me whom to talk to amongst the Cowled Wizards, then. I'd be interested in that. |
| 61111 Aye, I'd imagine you would be. One of the wizards by the name of Corneil decides who gets the license to use magic here. Bring plenty of coin if you go to see him. |
| 61112 You can probably find him in the government building in the Government District. Now... would you like to see what I have to offer or not? |
| 61113 Sure, let me see what you have. |
| 61114 No, thanks. |
| 61115 Retrieve Mekrath's stolen mirror from his imp I have completed Mekrath's task, and the wizard tried to "reward" me with a slave of his. He says that the man is in the north storeroom in his tower... I suppose I should go and see who this person is, at least, once the wizard has been defeated. |
| 61116 Ye ARE new here, aren't ye? Magic be forbidden in Athkatla. The Cowled Wizards, methinks, keep control o' all th' other mages. |
| 61117 I'm afraid not. Anyone who practices magic without a license does it in seclusion. The Cowled Wizards arrest those who don't, such as your mysterious wizard. |
| 61118 You mentioned something about a license? |
| 61119 Well, sure. The ban on magic-casting only applies to the "disreputable" masses. And in Amn, there's only one barometer for the well-to-do: coin. |
| 61120 You got enough coin, the Cowled Wizards are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. And why not? They get rich, and if you cause a problem, they arrest you anyway. |
| 61121 It's not a bad deal, though... once you've paid them, they tend to ignore you. Try the wizard Corneil at the government building in the Government District if you're interested. |
| 61122 Any ideas on how I might collect a lot of coin, then? |
| 61123 What do you know about the Shadow Thieves? |
| 61124 I see. I'll be on my way. |
| 61125 If you were interested, I'm sure Corneil in the government building in the Government District would be amenable to a large bribe. Such is how it works here. |
| 61126 Wha�! Where am I? What has happened? |
| 61127 May the Dawnlord bless you! Please excuse me, but my duties require me to talk to <CHARNAME>. |
| 61128 Away fool! I speak to none but <CHARNAME>! |
| 61129 Miss Nalia, allow me to show you to the funeral. |
| 61130 They are waiting for you upstairs. |
| 61131 May Helm watch over you! You must excuse me, but my duties require me to speak with <CHARNAME>. |
| 61132 Mornmaster, I have come to ask for the church's aid in a matter of importance. |
| 61133 I shall do what I must to get the best possible result. |
| 61134 I've already done this. The children are free. |
| 61135 Oh... hee hee! Oh, you shall be very sorry, indeed! You have found me out, and now you must pay, oh yes. A little old for my taste, but no matter! |
| 61136 I have not had good relations with you people in the past. Do as you will; I will evaluate your offers of service as they come. |
| 61137 Can you help send these Solamnic Knights to their own plane? |
| 61138 Oh, good. |
| 61139 Anger overwhelms you, and you feel your control slipping as the evil beckons to you. You become the Slayer... |
| 61140 Wellyn |
| 61141 As you will. Farewell then. |
| 61142 Whatever. Just don't go turning anyone into a chicken or anything foolish like that. |
| 61143 I have more serious things to worry about, Aerie. |
| 61144 I think that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. |
| 61145 Heh... you're probably right. If only things were so easy. |
| 61146 Just say the word, and all manner of wonder is at your disposal. Eh, and don't overlook the mundane. Bread and butter sales, they are. |
| 61147 Something special, something plain, whatever you wish for in these uncertain timesâ€â€I can make accommodation. |
| 61148 Yes, let me see what you have. |
| 61149 No thanks, not right now. |
| 61150 But of course! Anything for my favorite bard, as you'd like it! |
| 61151 Can I see what you have available, then? |
| 61152 Let me see what you have, then. |
| 61153 Oh, hullo. Higgold says I'm not to get under yer feet, an' I'm just to do me errands. If ye're lookin' for yer money from the tickets, it's in this chest... if there is any, that is. I ain't touched none of it. |
| 61154 Ye're not the <PRO_LADYLORD> patron... ye're one o' <PRO_HISHER> friends, aye? Well, I only runs errands fer Higgold, so don't be gettin' no ideas or nuthin'. |
| 61155 Hmph. That Higgold has lots o' ideas. An' all I does all day long is run around fer him. Liked it better when you folk runned this place, I did. Feets are darn sore... |
| 61156 I am sorry for the pain that I've caused to Mazzy's family, though I meant no harm. |
| 61157 You have the head? Take it to Khan Zahraa now! |
| 61158 No, thank you. |
| 61159 I don't know. If you can, try and wait at a major tavern or inn. |
| 61160 Perhaps at a major inn or tavern? Somewhere we are sure to go. |
| 61161 ...uhhhh... *groan* |
| 61162 What I mean to say is that the Pirate Lord will not arrive in time to stop us. That is whom I meant, in no uncertain terms. Hurry, we must away! |
| 61163 I wish to return to the corridor. |
| 61164 I'll not stand about and participate in your degenerate activities any longer, <CHARNAME>. I'll find my own way and leave you to yours. |
| 61165 No, we should split up for now. |
| 61166 All right, we'll go there if we need you again. |
| 61167 All right, we'll go there if we need you again. |
| 61168 That's not possible. Why don't you just wait right here, and if we need you again, we'll come get you? |
| 61169 That's not possible. Why don't you just wait right here, and if we need you again, we'll come get you? |
| 61170 I would have expected better from you, <CHARNAME>! You have let yourself fall too far... and I will accompany you no further. We will not meet again. |
| 61171 So. Your darker desires win over you fully. I have seen enough. Should we meet again, it shall be as opponents and naught else, <CHARNAME>. |
| 61172 I seek Anomen Delryn, son of Lord Cor, my <LADYLORD>. Should you see him, please send him my way. |
| 61173 Whose estate is this? |
| 61174 The estate is waiting for its inheritors, <SIRMAAM>, with the merchant's murder and everything. You shall have to leave at once regardless. |
| 61175 Get away from me, peddler of magic! |
| 61176 Very well, though I will be most displeased if it turns out you are lying. |
| 61177 All right, all right, but I will expect ample reward when I am done. |
| 61178 Direct your words elsewhere. |
| 61179 I am not permitted to speak with you. |
| 61180 I am not permitted to speak with you. |
| 61181 You wake, fearful of the madness that is consuming you. |
| 61182 Leave me be! |
| 61183 Ellesime cannot be reached until the parasites are destroyed. |
| 61184 Irenicus cannot be affected until the parasites are destroyed. |
| 61185 Do not speak to me until you have completed the task at hand. |
| 61186 Qilue has no time for you now. Move along. |
| 61187 No, you shall not. This is a holy place devoted to exalted Unseeing Eye. Perhaps you... wish to serve? |
| 61188 I would prefer to know more... how does one serve this "Unseeing Eye" of yours? |
| 61189 Who is the Unseeing Eye? |
| 61190 No. I have no interest in serving your god. |
| 61191 Then leave us to our meditations, faithless one. We have no quarrel with you. |
| 61192 We seek to throw off the shackles of our limitations, and we do so willingly to serve the One God. What is so horrid about this? |
| 61193 It is mutilation! What if one doesn't survive your process?! |
| 61194 Well, I'm not willing to lose my eyes, regardless. |
| 61195 I... I see. Tell me more of your One God, then. |
| 61196 I see. I have no further interest in your god; excuse me. |
| 61197 It is an abomination of nature, and I shall stop it myself! |
| 61198 Perhaps I should be on my way, then. |
| 61199 Still, the Unseeing Eye could use the skills of one such as yourself. An exception... could, perhaps, be made in your case. |
| 61200 As you wish. But I warn you... the Unseeing Eye has vast and terrible power. Do not cross him! |
| 61201 Join our ranks instead, as I have told you, and enlightenment shall be yours. The choice, of course, is up to you. |
| 61202 Who...? You dare?! Fool, you have crossed the Rune, and you shall pay the price for your interference, whatever the cause! |
| 61203 The Delryn whelp?! You've no business here, Anomen Delryn! Take your friends and leave at once! |
| 61204 Hmph. This is the home of my father's old enemy, Saerk. It is best if we leave, <CHARNAME>. |
| 61205 Speak through General Sovalidaas or Elhan if you must speak at all, outsider. I have nothing for you. |
| 61206 I have made this alloy for you, as we discussed before. Will you take it now? The price is 500. |
| 61207 No, I will try this Unger Hilldark you spoke of. |
| 61208 I am not prepared to pay that price. |
| 61209 I'll take the alloy. Sarles will not know the difference. |
| 61210 Tell me of your source. |
| 61211 I... I am sorry, my friends... Mazzy is beyond my power to recover. Unless Barl possessed the antidote on his person, all hope for her dear sister is lost... |
| 61212 Aye. Here it is. Take this brew to the lass, if you would, so Mazzy's death is not in vain. |
| 61213 The Overgold sent word of poor Mazzy. It's... it's a terrible thing. Hopefully, the antidote you carry with you will help Pala. I could not bear to lose two daughters... |
| 61214 It... it seems to be working. Thank you, thank you! I... I think she will be fine soon. Despite the fate of Mazzy, at least it was not in vain. I cannot thank you enough. |
| 61215 Without a cure for poor Pala, I... I will have lost both my daughters. I almost cannot bear the thought... |
| 61216 Pala is... is gone. I have lost both of my daughters. Excuse me... I... I must see to their arrangements. |
| 61217 But that is little news beside what you have obviously been through. I... I see you have returned with none other than our halfling heroine! I am relieved to see you well, Mazzy. |
| 61218 But... but I babble on so. My apologies. Was there aught that you needed, <CHARNAME>? |
| 61219 I wished to tell you a Shade Lord was responsible. It had possessed the body of Merella, your ranger... who died once the shade was destroyed. |
| 61220 Go 'way, you. No business with youse. Just restin' until my next fight in the pit, is all. |
| 61221 Ho hum... never mind me, pretty halfling. Just standing about, innocent bystander-like. Nothing to see here. |
| 61222 Hmmm... you know, I can probably help your Gorf situation... but not with the halfling within earshot, if you take my meaning... |
| 61223 Can't you track him down? I don't want to wait that long. |
| 61224 Fine. We're in no rush. |
| 61225 Huh? I'm not gonna... oh, wait! There he is! Gorf! Gorf, baby, over here! |
| 61226 Now you're gonna get it. Gorf baby is so mean in the pit. |
| 61227 We're looking for Gorf. He said he'd meet us here. |
| 61228 *sigh* He ain't here. Gorf baby said he'd be comin' after the seventh hour at night. You can talk to him then, I guess. |
| 61229 Can't you track him down? We don't want to wait that long. |
| 61230 We'll wait until then, I suppose. |
| 61231 Bah... obviously, even the most brutish and oafish will overcome the virtuous. I must remember this and be smarter the next time, I see. |
| 61232 There. Virtue has won the day for once... and hopefully, the lesson has been pounded into the lout's head. Come, <CHARNAME>... let us be away from this boorish place. |
| 61233 Go away, pipsqueak. Gorf baby wouldn't want me talking to you. |
| 61234 (A low voice sounds within your mind.) Despair, sighted, for death is thy familiar... |
| 61235 I would be willing to help, though I have no intention of stepping on anyone's toes. |
| 61236 Hello again, <CHARNAME>. If... if you have need of some help, I would be willing to join with you. There is little for me here, really. |
| 61237 Certainly, come with me. |
| 61238 No, not at this time. |
| 61239 I guess I'll wait here then. |
| 61240 Take a hike, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Gorf is going to squish you flat enough... heh... you don't need me to kick your arse. |
| 61241 No, I have not. |
| 61242 Gorf ready to squashy pipsqueak! Why pipsqueak not ready?! |
| 61243 You should know that I am hunting a powerful mage by the name of Irenicus. He was taken by Cowled Wizards, and there will be considerable danger. |
| 61244 I have the rod half. What do you know of it? |
| 61245 What?! How did you...? No matter... now you die, you interfering self-righteous fool! |
| 61246 Silence now. Let us finish this distasteful task and be done with it. |
| 61247 Wellyn |
| 61248 Temple of Rillifane |
| 61249 My thanks for your assistance. I have little doubt you were as plagued by the foolish wizard as we were. As I mentioned, here is your reward. Good day to you. |
| 61250 The task is completed. Please talk to Morul. |
| 61251 Morul needs to speak with you about the task you assigned us. |
| 61252 Underdark Exit |
| 61253 Forest of Tethir |
| 61254 Suldanessellar |
| 61255 Powerful magic is exciting, but... but I worry that things may get out of control. Oh well, what's the worse that could happen? |
| 61256 Spells Can Cast: |
| 61257 'Ay! You there, m'lady! Ye looks like th' sort can handle yer weapons, eh? |
| 61258 I can use my weapons just fine. Why do you ask? |

| 61279 The elven puzzle box I have found a puzzle box that obviously holds something of value to the elves of Suldanessellar. To open it, I must press a series of runes in a certain order. The box makes reference to a Priest's Stone in the room above. The Stone holds the key to this puzzle, and I must find it if I am to open the box with minimal risk. |
| 61280 The elven puzzle box I have opened the puzzle box. Within, I found the talisman of Rillifane! |
| 61281 Puzzle Box |
| 61282 If you need healing or supplies, I shall be happy to help you. Rillifane has blessed you, and what services our temple offers are yours for a pittance. The soldiers have even offered some of their weapons and supplies. |
| 61283 I would like to see what you have to offer. |
| 61284 I need nothing at this time, Reirra. |
| 61285 Then go with our thanks and help the queen! |
| 61286 You will need the Stone Harp and the Stone Horn to pass through the palace. They can be found within the Harpist's House and the House of the Horn, respectively. |
| 61287 An alarm sounds throughout the temple. |

| 61289 Stay out of my business, bub. |
| 61290 Leave me be! |
| 61291 Wyvern Cultist |
| 61292 Haer'Dalis, I must tell you that my ultimate goal is to rescue an old friend who is hostage to the Cowled Wizards. It will be quite dangerous. |
| 61293 Haer'Dalis, you should know that I intend to track down a very powerful mage by the name of Irenicus. There is considerable danger involved. |
| 61294 All right... let's go, Haer'Dalis. |
| 61295 So be it. I will linger with the primes here for a short while yet... Should you change your mind soon, my raven, you can find me in the tavern above. |
| 61296 I think we should go our own ways for now. Perhaps we shall meet again later. |
| 61297 As you wish, my raven. This sparrow shall fly, with you or not, as the fates determine. Perhaps we shall meet again. Farewell! |
| 61298 Okay... we might meet you there at a later date. |
| 61299 Speak to the duel manager if you wish to fight me, worm. |
| 61300 You foolish ants. You have saved us much trouble by killing Valygar and opening this sphere. But my orders are clear... you are to be destroyed. |
| 61301 The Grove |
| 61302 I'll not die like this! Not like this! |
| 61303 This is all well and good, but could we get back to fixing my little problem now? |
| 61304 You are doing nothing for my morale, you know. Wasteful behavior and leaving me like this. |
| 61305 Yes, yes, you are all a bunch of goodie two-shoes, and yet I am left like this! |
| 61306 I can see I'm going to get no help from the likes of *you*. I shall find my own cure. |
| 61307 Do not patronize me! I am in no shape to lead. |
| 61308 I tire of walking, I tire of talking, and I tire of this laughable body. I wish to rest now. |
| 61309 Every moment idle is another moment I brood in this despicable form. Let's get moving! |
| 61310 Your worthless lives end here! |
| 61311 A death for every second I am in this form! |
| 61312 I feel your stares! Die! Die! |
| 61315 If I must wear this form, the least you could do is keep it in good health! |
| 61316 This place is less constricting than the city, though I no more wish the company of nature than people. |
| 61317 I feel the stares of each and every person here. They mock me with their eyes. |
| 61318 Another dank hole with which to improve my mood. Joy. |
| 61319 I would see as few days in this form as possible. |
| 61320 I choose to turn into the Slayer. |
| 61321 I would rather spend my nights dreaming of being normal again. |
| 61322 Leave me be! |
| 61323 What is it now?! |
| 61324 I will tolerate only so much! |
| 61325 If I must! |
| 61326 Oh, labor will help. |
| 61327 A waste of my talents! |
| 61328 Stop looking at me! |
| 61329 Very well. |
| 61330 If I must live like this, your life shall be as much a hell as mine. |
| 61331 Even hand to hand, I am dangerous. |
| 61332 My talents are wasted on physical blows! |
| 61333 My spells would serve better; this weapon is useless. |
| 61334 I'll be no packhorse! Pick up your garbage where I dropped it! |
| 61335 I have succeeded, but I despise being reduced to this. |
| 61336 I am hidden, though I still see this ridiculous form myself. |
| 61337 Do the outrages never end? My spell has failed! |
| 61338 I have set your trap, but my wrath prefers direct combat. |
| 61339 Spare me your words, necromancer. Your end is near. |
| 61340 I know who you are, but little beyond that. |

The sword itself defies identification, likely forged specifically for Sarevok to best focus the infernal energy he hoped to control. Much of its power died with him.

| 61359 CHAPTER THREE Allies are expensive in the City of Coin, but you are certain you have made a wise investment. Through Gaelan Bayle, you have purchased the aid of Aran Linvail, Shadowmaster of Athkatla. As ominous as that may sound, you have little other choice. Already you have felt the influence of those working against your search for Irenicus. |
| 61360 CHAPTER THREE Allies are expensive in the City of Coin, but you have invested carefully to best serve your interests. Despite her dark nature, Bodhi has promised much and seems eager to accommodate, though there will assuredly be a price beyond the coins you have given. She is useful for now, so long as she aids in your search for Irenicus. |
| 61361 CHAPTER FIVE The great depths of the Underdark stretch before you, and as you adjust to the dim light, the reality of where you are begins to sink in. It is a realm of countless legends, where evil lurks behind each shadow, and though you have traveled far in pursuit of Irenicus, never have you felt so isolated. As black as your situation may have seemed, it somehow grows darker still. |
| 61362 CHAPTER SEVEN Guided by the light of the Rhynn Lanthorn, you pass effortlessly through what had seemed an impenetrable wall of trees. The city that greets you as you emerge is at once inspiring, but also profoundly troubling, for amidst the majestic architecture are dozens of bodies, elves that have fallen while defending their home. Suldanessellar is in the grip of Irenicus and his minions, and it will not be relinquished without a fight. |

| 61395 Hello there. More adventuring fools looking to wander off in the Underdark, eh? Well, let's have a look at you then. |
| 61396 Yeah, yeah, I suppose you look tough enough to poke around ahead. Careful though; this area is off to the side for a reason. |
| 61397 Oh, no, no, you need more experience in adventuring before taking this particular path. It is off to the side for a reason, you know. |
| 61398 Thanks for the warning, though what is your interest in my survival? |
| 61399 What business is it of yours if I go this way or not? |
| 61400 Secret Entrance |
| 61401 Thanks for the warning, but what is your interest in my survival? |
| 61402 And just who are you to tell me where I'm strong enough to go? |
| 61403 I'm just a friendly stranger who has heard one too many hero complain that they didn't know what they were getting into. Take it for what it's worth. Farewell. |

| 61411 My daughter is sick. I will kindly ask you to leave, please. |
| 61412 Inside the drow city It appears that Veldrin, whose form I hold, was expected in the drow city by a drow commander named Solaufein. I am to meet him at the Male Fighters' Society... in the north end of the city past the Female Fighters' Society and just before the spider pit. Not doing so would likely look... suspicious. |
| 61413 Retrieve Qilue's brain A captive creature within a tank inside the drow city, an aboleth, apparently knows my secret and has threatened to reveal my presence to the entire city unless I retrieve the brain of a priestess named Qilue. I have agreed to do the task. She can be found in the second door from the bottom in the Female Fighters' Society. If I am quick, none will notice. |
| 61414 Retrieve Qilue's brain I have brought the priestess's brain to the aboleth, and it has agreed to keep my secret. That is, apparently, to be my only reward for the gruesome task. |

| 61422 Licenses are subject to the approval of the Cowled Wizards, providing you are a responsible and sane practitioner. Seek a representative of ours in the Council of Six building in the Government District, if you wish. |

| 61436 Paladin stronghold duties: The Holy Avenger My final task has been assigned to me, should I be ready to undertake it, and it is a dread one indeed. The red dragon Firkraag holds in his possession the greatest force for good... a Holy Avenger. When I can, I am to confront the dread beast and take the relic from him. |
| 61437 Paladin stronghold duties: The Holy Avenger Firkraag has been slain, and the Holy Avenger is mine. I need only to return to the Order and tell Sir William that the deed has finally been done. |
| 61438 Paladin stronghold duties: The Holy Avenger At the request of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, I have slain the red dragon Firkraag and taken the Holy Avenger into my possession. Now its powerful magic can be put to the use for which it was meant... and the Order could not be more pleased. |

| 61447 Have you good tidings for us? |
| 61448 We are returned to my world, but this sphere can no longer travel between the planes. |
| 61449 Then we are trapped here. As Knights of Solamnia, we shall bear this with good grace. We will travel your world and lend our swords and our souls to the cause of the right. Perhaps we may meet again. |
| 61450 This is the last stand, here in Hell. We fall or we win. |
| 61451 It's good to see you again, little sister. Ha ha! I rather enjoy calling you that. So, you ready to go? I'd prefer to travel with you, if I could. |
| 61452 All right, no problem here, little sister. You sure you want me to go? |
| 61453 I would be happy to have you join me. |
| 61454 I have no need of you at present. |
| 61455 I think it best. |
| 61456 No, stay with me. |
| 61457 I was told to talk to you, duergar. |
| 61458 Oh, get over yourself. I've been threatened by far better than you. Hmph! |
| 61459 Ah! Ah, oh, er... take them! Take them and leave me be! |
| 61460 Hah! These are more important than anything *you* could offer. |
| 61461 Those documents... hand them over now or else! |
| 61462 Those documents... hand them over now or else! |
| 61463 You have some documents I wish to... purchase. |
| 61464 You have some documents I wish to... purchase. |
| 61465 I'll leave you alone, then. |
| 61466 Oh, sorry... you've got something on your neck... (Snap his neck quickly and quietly.) |
| 61467 Hmmm. Perhaps... I might be able to part with them. Providing you pay me more than I'm making with this deal. 250 gold ought to cover it, eh? |
| 61468 Very well. 250 gold for those documents. |
| 61469 How about 200 gold and we call it even? |
| 61470 Oh? Are you sure a lovely man like yourself wouldn't... do a woman like me a little favor, hmmm? |
| 61471 I don't have that much on me, I'm afraid. |
| 61472 Forget it. |
| 61473 Deal. Here you go. Now excuse me... |
| 61474 *gulp* Ah... er, certainly... |
| 61475 Then begone. |
| 61476 Stop bothering me, I've important... wait! Where are my papers?! I must have left them... Oh no! |
| 61477 This is blasphemy! An outrage against nature and order! I must redouble my efforts to cancel the hideous and deforming nature of this Nether scourge! |
| 61478 What?! Nothing! This is shameful and revolting! What are you pie-eyed vagrants gawking at? Staring at me with a plebeian vandal's charm! This is beyond treachery! |
| 61479 More use from you in death! Meat is meat! |
| 61480 He he he. Looks like you're in some trouble. And by the way, nice rack. |
| 61481 Edwin! Edwin! Calm down, calm down. We'll find a way to get you back to your original, not-quite-as-pleasing-to-the-eye shape. |
| 61482 If you're a woman, you've no place amongst us. |
| 61483 What?! How dare you, scoundrel! Gawking at my mantle! (Hey, they aren't that bad come to think of it... Wait a moment. What happened to my... Oh no. No. NO!) |
| 61484 Hah! Looks like you're in some trouble now, wizard! I must admit, though, you've gained a fair shape. |
| 61485 Edwin! Edwin! Calm down, calm down. We'll find a way to get you back to your original form. |
| 61486 You must find a way to cure this malignant ill! I would eternally grateful and bestow untold riches upon you and your kind. |
| 61487 No! No! My moment of greatest need! I plead you remain! I beg of you! Sweet merciful warriors! Virtuous crusaders! Clever cutpurses! Please! |
| 61488 Get lost... and stay lost. |
| 61489 All right then, stay with us. That was fun watching you beg though. |
| 61490 I'll not coax sparks from carved sticks or farts from stones! My strange magics will free you from the surly bonds of earthly servitude! |
| 61491 Traitors! Traitorous filth! Of all the low-down, double-dealing, twisted, and perverted betrayals! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY! |
| 61492 What? I've no idea of what you are talking about. (What is this fool babbling to me for?) |
| 61493 Er... I am no Edwin, as you claim. I know him not. He sounds like a worthy mage of distinction, and I am probably weaker having not made his acquaintance. |
| 61494 I am NOT! Uh, I mean, bah! Get out of my sight, you rotten urchin, before I fry you where you stand! |
| 61495 Woman or not, my spellthrowing is unparallelled and will bring the wrath of cleansing hellfire upon you should the mood move me! |
| 61496 My name is... Celisa of Waterdeep. Yes, daughter of... Kur... Kurdall Al... Ale... Kurdall Aleconnor, a wealthy mead-maker and owner of a chain of festhalls. |
| 61497 No Edwin in our midst, I'm most sorry to say. Only Celisa Aleconnor. You'd best be off to capture this Edwin. He sounds like a formidable foe. |
| 61498 Why... I'm just fine, youâ€â€(aargh! hold your tongue, fool!) Begone, you slithering eel! |
| 61499 I said begone! Can you not understand the simplest of Common, you lumbering piece of filth?! |
| 61500 My, but you are a flatterer! (Gah!) I mean... stop it, get lost! A fireball in your gullet would dampen your mood, lizard! |
| 61501 GAAAAAHHHH! (Pig!) NOW YOU DIE! |
| 61502 Really? That is the nicest... Gah! Begone, wench! (Although I always did think this robe fit rather well...) |
| 61503 Psst... Aerie! |
| 61504 You are a wizard and a healer! Can you not peel this wretched skin? (She has driven me to it; I will debase myself if I must.) Please, Aerie, I am... on my knees! |
| 61505 Blasted Netherese sense of humor! No doubt this is why they all went extinct so long ago! Shut up! Shut up, I say! |
| 61506 I will not be scrutinized for the sake of your rodent! Mind your own concerns, you stone-headed oaf! |
| 61507 Tears indeed! Stand away lest I bring you a fireball as well! (Such suffering I must endure! The pain behind my eyes does grow steadily!) |
| 61508 What?! Why do you stare at me so, barbarian?! |
| 61509 I AM Edwin, you lumbering fool! Can you not comprehend this?! |
| 61510 If you do not wish to be the proud owner of a very small rug, you will get that animal away from me. |
| 61511 (I will kill ALL of them. Slowly. With... with HOT... pokey things and... and coals and... and prods. Yessssss, prods. Many, many prods.) |
| 61512 No, my dear little wench, I will spend no more time in this body than I must. You think me a fool? |
| 61513 Would you now? I would wish it on you if I could, but you do not mean what you say. You could do as such now, but you do not. |
| 61514 You thought I would desire to know the thoughts of others, but you were wrong. I have no such desire. Whatever the rest of you think is irrelevant. |
| 61515 And exactly WHAT is wrong with my "manner"? |
| 61516 I will not remain like this! I will not "present a more wholesome image," nor will I acknowledge this form in any way! I will not be this way for long! |
| 61517 (When the time comes, I must kill her first. Slowly, but first.) |
| 61518 My own thoughts, my own shoes, my own BODY! These are all that matter! |
| 61519 Shed your wealth and harvest the fields. You no more walk in the shoes of those you pity than I would, and I pity everyone. The only shoes I wish are mine own! |
| 61520 I will not suffer your taunts, woman! You know well I despise this form! |
| 61521 And you would suggest this based upon what?! As a CONSTANTLY pontificating servant of nature, you must know my transformation was unnatural! |
| 61522 I see. So, by your logic, you shall be suddenly changing into a large male wildebeest any day now? Or have I misunderstood? |
| 61523 Save your amateurish insults for one who will be offended. Your opinion means nothing to me. |
| 61524 Why do you stare so, Cernd? No doubt you are to laugh at my predicament, so get it over with! |
| 61525 (There is an insult in there somewhere, I am certain. Would that I could stop time and kill them ALL first.) |
| 61526 What?! What are you getting at?! I know you are talking about me, so speak it plain! |
| 61527 Very well then. I will let your comment pass and... |
| 61528 I see, I see. I shall let the slight pass and... |
| 61529 Yes, yes, yes, now will you please cease your prattle?! |
| 61530 (I wonder what his nature would say about the cleansing power of fire. I wonder.) |
| 61531 (Thank the gods he is not a better poet. This is one tale we would rather not see immortalized in print!) |
| 61532 (My condition draws fools like flies to honey). Silence, you idiot! You've a death wish that is larger than your swollen head. |
| 61533 Silence, you fool! Chauvinist pig! (What am I saying?) I mean to say, "Idiot!" |
| 61534 So you want me back, do you? |
| 61535 Yes, I need your skills. |
| 61536 No. |
| 61537 I'm glad to finally be rid of you idiots. |
| 61538 So! Is this to be it, then? (Only a true fool would not realize my importance.) |
| 61539 No, don't leave. |
| 61540 Yes, we no longer have need of your services. |
| 61541 Begone from my sight. You have proven yourself unworthy of my friendship. |
| 61542 Leave at once. Your coldness towards my daughters is proof enough to me that you are no friend to this family. |

| 61549 Athkatla is known as the richest city in all of Faerûn, so I knew there would be adventurers about with the amount of coin I was looking for. Would you like to take a look at my wares? |

| 61606 I like the look of you. Welcome! |
| 61607 Why do you disturb my meditations? |
| 61608 Perhaps the gods have need of you. |
| 61609 Please the gods or die as a worm! |
| 61610 Your death will come slow and painful. |
| 61613 I'll not die for you fools! |
| 61614 Greetings. Your power impresses. |
| 61615 What do you want amongst the faithful? |
| 61616 Bow down before the gods and beg for mercy! |
| 61617 The gods are unforgiving, fool! |
| 61618 You will pray for death when I am done with you! |
| 61621 Mercy! Have mercy! |
| 61623 You are nothing before my god! |
| 61624 Pray and come with us and be found worthy. |
| 61625 We will be saved in the End. |
| 61626 I am one with the mighty! |
| 61627 You are dust before the True God! |
| 61630 Ahhh! I have failed him! |
| 61631 Kneel and repent! |
| 61632 The pit is empty. |
| 61633 Cast off your old beliefs and be saved! |
| 61634 I am one of the few who are chosen. |

| 61636 Death to the disbeliever! |
| 61639 No! My... my god will save me! |
| 61640 You aren't from one of the other merchants, are you? I tell you, the competition here can get something fierce at times. I've got my eye on you. |
| 61641 So long as you are polite, I shall tolerate you. |
| 61642 Do you have something you wish to say? |
| 61643 I don't usually speak to the likes of you, but... hello! |
| 61644 Is it important, peasant? |
| 61645 I take no pleasure in speaking to one as low as you. |
| 61646 Come, come. We can't be giving charity to just anyone, you know. |
| 61649 Away with you! Do not touch me! |
| 61650 I am a lady of refinement, and you shall treat me as such, I am sure. |
| 61651 You are a stranger to this place? I do not think I have seen you on the streets ere now. |

The message continues in one of the more alien scripts. The illithids are up to something, as is typical of the race, but your being here has most likely disrupted their plans. |

| 61766 There are many ways of dealing with such as you. |
| 61767 You won't outlive the day. |

| 61769 You'll get what you deserve right quick. |
| 61770 I'll have you dead! |
| 61773 Another time, then. |
| 61774 Prepare to be eviscerated, fool. |
| 61776 Care to dance? |
| 61777 This will be a slow and painful process. |
| 61778 You will suffer... oh yes. |
| 61779 Plant a blade in your innards, I will! |
| 61782 Another time, another place! |
| 61783 Uhh? What you want? |

| 61799 Oh... hullo. |

| 61806 Be merry, friend! |
| 61807 Greetings and good business. |
| 61808 Is this important? |
| 61809 As long as ye're not the taxman... |
| 61810 Is this the way you talk to everyone, or is it just the poor people? |
| 61811 Tch! You think a poor man has nothing better to do? |
| 61815 Good business to ye. |
| 61816 Ahh, it's a fine enough day, isn't it? |
| 61817 I'll trade you a few words, sure enough. |

| 61915 Another mission for the temple I have confronted Borinall the fence about the Dawn Ring. Now I must return to my superiors with it. |
| 61916 I intend to deal with Irenicus once and for all, Viconia, as you should well know. |
| 61917 Irenicus must be stopped... it is nothing so light as you suggest. |
| 61918 I have no intention of discussing this with you. |
| 61919 Oh? So I am merely to do as I'm told and be silent, am I? Moody bastard. Continue such insults, and you shall see firsthand how superior the drow female is. |
| 61920 If you say so, <CHARNAME>. I do not see why you do not just leave the dog lying where it is. There are other conquests more worthy of one of your prowess. |
| 61921 Irenicus has stolen my soul, Viconia... do you suggest I let him keep it? |
| 61922 I will not let him get away with what he's done, regardless of what you say. |
| 61923 Perhaps you are right, but I seem to have little choice in the matter. |
| 61924 Enough! Our goals are nothing alikeâ€â€you know nothing of me! |
| 61925 Not at all. By all means, let us seek your revenge. It is just tiring, thinking of you forever running off on some crusade, moralistic or otherwise. |
| 61926 Perhaps someone will tame you one day and turn you to the destiny you are truly meant for. A pleasant thought. |
| 61927 So it is another tireless crusade for you, is it? Crossing the breadth of the world, urgency behind every word and deed? How utterly cumbersome. |
| 61928 I know plenty of you. I know you walk as if on eggshells around your true fate, refusing to see that which is self-evident. Instead, you distract yourself with these petty, constant quests. How tiresome. |
| 61929 Actually, Madulf sent me with a proposition... he and his people will provide protection for the village in exchange for peaceful relations and a bit of trade. |

| 61942 Are you in need of directions, or merely wandering about witlessly? Mae'Var is in the basement of this dungheap, as if you didn't know. Off with you! |
| 61943 As you wish, but I'll not wait about for you monkeys to finish your work. You'll find Mae'Var's office on the floor below... and I've managed to procure a key that will let you into his strongbox. |
| 61944 If you'll excuse me, I've my own retainer to collect for this particular betrayal. You aren't the only one stepping over Mae'Var's bones for a profit, you know. |
| 61945 Should you collect your wits and realize that you would profit from my magical talents... (as would I, which is the only reason I would travel with these simians)... you can find me at the Copper Coronet. |
| 61946 My contacts in the guild tell me you've yet to bring the Bloodscalp what he wishes. I told you the task would not be so easy. (Disregard my advice and see where it gets them?) |
| 61947 Perhaps you have changed your mind, then, and now fully realize the potential I hold with my magical powers? If you are pleasant, we could journey together for a time. |
| 61948 So... I hear that you successfully trounced Mae'Var's "good" name. (A surprising feat for these monkeys, if anything is). I also hear that the dread fool still lives, though Renal wishes otherwise. |
| 61949 Ah! If it is not my old friend... ahhh... er... bah! It does not matter! I know an opportunity for profit when I see <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 61950 I'd rather see you at the bottom of a peat bog, you lice-ridden, maniacal bastard! |
| 61951 As I recall, Edwin, you once promised me a year of service... |
| 61952 No thanks. I've no need of you at present. |
| 61953 Certainly... join with me. |
| 61954 So you say. I've seen how you operate... you'll be back. In the meantime, I've plenty to divert myself with here, yes? |
| 61955 Did I? Pfeh. Promises come, and promises go. Do you want my assistance or not? |
| 61956 That's it! I'll take no more from you, wizard! |
| 61957 Never! I'd sooner trust the blade you'd stab in my back. |
| 61958 No, I've no need of you right now. |
| 61959 Fine, fine. Join with me, then. |
| 61960 O-ho! Suddenly, we've gone and acquired wit! At some second-rate bazaar, by the sound of it. So be it! You've seen the last of me, monkeys! |
| 61961 O-ho! Back again, I see. Have you changed your mind, then? I really would prefer to have Mae'Var taken care of once and for all... and I can't think of anyone more capable than yourself. |
| 61962 Yes, I've changed my mind. I'll do it. |
| 61963 No, I'm not willing to do that, Renal. |
| 61964 Then why did you return? If the deed's not done, there's still no reward... that hasn't changed. Continue to think about it, if you like. |
| 61965 Kill members of my guild, will you?! I don't care what you're here for... now you die! |
| 61966 You have saved our city from certain doom. Go well! |

| 61990 You deserve no less than death... and no more. |
| 61993 As always, the pleasure is mine. |
| 61994 Do not anger me. |
| 61995 You shall pay for this, and pay dearly. |
| 61996 Suffer! |
| 61999 You are welcome here. |
| 62000 Good day to you. |
| 62001 Justice shall be swift and final! |
| 62004 I trust all is well? |
| 62005 Away with you! |
| 62006 Back off, you, or face the consequences! |

| 62013 Demin's Note |
| 62014 This paper seems to be the hastily scribbled journal of the thief Tizzak. One passage draws your eye: I have discovered that Aran's inner sanctum is protected by two magical doors. They can be neither picked nor bashed. The first requires a button, the second a key. The button can be found somewhere to the north, at the end of a heavily trapped hallway. As to the key, I know not where it is, but I do know that Aran's most trusted advisor is a wizard called Haz. He might have a key if he is in the compound. |
| 62015 Rillifane sleeps while his children suffer! The Exile has taken Queen Ellesime, and his minions will murder us all! We need to wake Rillifane, but the temple has been breached and the artifacts scattered. The dragon holds the Goblet of Life, and none can stand against his hideous strength. I know not where the moonblade and the talisman of Rillifane lie. Even should we find them, there is no one capable of fighting through the temple and placing the artifacts on the altar. Rillifane cannot be awakened in any other way! |

| 62024 You cannot change armor during combat. |
| 62025 But it... it is weak and will not help again! You are empty inside! There is nothing within... but the instinct! |
| 62026 You may not cast the Find Familiar spell in the tutorial. |
| 62027 Foolishly, you murdered Goldander Blackenrock, an evil act that must be overlooked for the time being. |
| 62028 You have not identified the shield yet. To identify the shield, please RIGHT-CLICK on it and then choose the Identify option. |
| 62029 With your attack on the dragon, the drow illusion fades away. |
| 62030 There is nothing more to say. |
| 62032 Illithid minds have thought-shaped the stone to form a perfect tank in which to nurture a master brain. |
| 62033 The reek of chemicals and fermented brain overwhelms you as you step into sight of the famed elder brain of the illithids. An instant later, the brain lashes out at you with a psionic whip... |
| 62034 What brought this on? We are not in nature right now. |
| 62035 You think about these things too much, Jaheira. Not everyone appreciates nature as you do. |
| 62036 True, true. But we have traveled so much... and when we last stepped into nature's heart, I did not even notice it. That... bothered me, <CHARNAME>. I should not forget what nature means to me. |
| 62037 My mind is occupied with thoughts of the future, and I have no time for idle chatter. |
| 62038 Ransom collected for Lady Elgea I met Welther in front of the Copper Coronet and received the ransom that was originally intended for Camitis and Reti. Lady Elgea's location has been given to Welther. Returning to that house might not be such a good idea. |
| 62039 My raven, please! We must find the planar jewel, we must! I beg of you... let us back to Mekrath's fly so that Miss Raelis may have the gem she craves! Please! |

| 62046 You do not need to say anything, dear one. I have sensed Haer'Dalis's death prior to your coming. It breaks my heart to see such a free spirit crushed in this poor plane. |
| 62047 A reward for your troubles... and then my troupe and I must return home. There is little else to keep us here. We shall wait until you depart. |
| 62048 Ahhhh... our poor actor numbers in your group. Yet his spark has left him. A tragedy indeed, but one that may yet be fixed... a moment, please. |
| 62049 Temple of Sekolah |
| 62050 The Shark-Father watches. Do you require the services of this temple? |
| 62051 Yes. May I see your services? |
| 62052 I need nothing from you. |
| 62053 I've spent enough time with these fools. I must go and offer tribute to Lolth. |
| 62054 Bring <CHARNAME> to speak with me. The matter is too important to chance third-party communication. |
| 62055 The gates to Ust Natha have been sealed at the matron mother's order. None may enter nor exit unless Matron Mother Ardulace wills it. |
| 62056 You... you are the one who has freed us? I... I thank you. |
| 62057 We are free! Now... now we must find a way out of this prison! |
| 62058 We must find the warden! We must find him and kill him before he recollars us! |
| 62059 Greetings, <GABBER>. I trust all is well? |
| 62060 Get away from me. Please. I don't want anyone hurt. |
| 62061 I don't think I like being threatened, actually. |
| 62062 You seem rather grim... what's the problem? |
| 62063 You think you could hurt me? Hah! |
| 62064 All right, I'll leave you be. |
| 62065 I'm not threatening you, dear <MANWOMAN>. I just... I just seem to attract trouble, is all. The kind of trouble you don't want to be a part of, believe you me. |
| 62066 I wish I could talk about it. It's nothing you would understand. Just... just leave me be. |
| 62067 You'd be surprised. But I've no intention of hurting you... things just happen around me. They don't call me the Lightning Rod for nothing, heh... |
| 62068 Thank you. I just want to... to forget what I am. You wouldn't understand. |
| 62069 Look, I said I wanted to be left alone! Why can't you... oh... oh NO! NOT AGAIN! |
| 62070 What... no! No! A Bhaalspawn? Here?! |
| 62071 Slow down... just who are you? |
| 62072 How do you know what I am?! Speak! |
| 62073 I mean you no harm, sir... |
| 62074 If you're another hunter, I swear I'll cut you open! |
| 62075 No, no! Not after all this time! I won't... ah... AHHH, NOT AGAIN! |
| 62076 Hunters, here?! No! |
| 62077 Go. Leave before I change my mind. |
| 62078 This briny pool is a place of worship for the kuo-toa. Here they make offerings to the Sea Mother. |
| 62079 Recover the silver dragon's eggs I attacked Adalon the silver dragon, and now I must find some other way to exit the Underdark. |
| 62080 What?! How did you...? Bah! The trap will go forth regardless... for Mae'Var! |
| 62081 The quartermaster awaits you in the guild for Renal's due. |
| 62082 Renal will no longer wait for his due... You have lost your guild. |

| 62108 I'm afraid so. I've no time for this. |
| 62109 I suppose not. |
| 62110 Then leave. And do not return. |
| 62111 Here is a reward for your service. |
| 62112 Begone from my sight, cur. Your vile leadership brought me to this... I have failed my trial, thanks to you. I will have nothing further to do with you. |
| 62113 I have passed my test, <GABBER>. I can't imagine being happier! I am, ah, willing to rejoin you despite your abandonment of me... if you wish my company. |
| 62114 Perhaps another time, Anomen. |
| 62115 Certainly... I would be pleased to have you by my side. |
| 62116 As you wish. I shall be here should you wish to return. |
| 62117 So be it! If I must go to the High Hall, I will do so on my own! Thank you for nothing, <CHARNAME>. I could have used your support, but it seems I will have to do without! |

| 62129 My... my son is dead and gone. You... you! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! YOURS! |
| 62130 Away from me, <MANWOMAN>. You've no business with me. |
| 62131 Leave, Anomen. I've nothing more to say to you. |
| 62132 It is... it is good to see you again, <CHARNAME>. I have passed my test and am now a full knight of the Order, despite all my worries. I would be honored to travel with you again, my lady... if you would have me. |
| 62133 Perhaps another time, Anomen. |
| 62134 Certainly... I would be pleased to have you by my side. |
| 62135 <CHARNAME>... my lady... the Order has refused me! Cast me out! CAST ME OUT! And all for killing the murderer Saerk! I cannot... please, my lady! Take me away from here! |
| 62136 As you wish... join with me again, Anomen. |
| 62137 Forget it. I've no room for you. |
| 62138 You've no...? I see. Then I am to be rejected both by my lady as well as the Order that I have slaved far too many years for. So be it. To the Nine Hells with you all! |
| 62139 You must be Haer'Dalis. |
| 62140 You must be Edwin. |

| 62148 This is a plain note written in a delicate script. It reads: "Berinvar, Do not concern yourself with the thief. If he has accomplices, they will show themselves soon. As for the thief himself... the spectral harpists will release him from his curse once they feel he has learned his lesson. And if he doesn't, well, we can always hope he acquires a taste for birdseed, eh? Cheers, T." |

| 62152 All honor to the Great Druid! Nature has her champion! |
| 62155 The test is complete. |
| 62156 Escaping the asylum I must find the "hand of the builder" to advance. I'm not sure what that means. |
| 62157 Escaping the asylum I must also find the "focus of power" to advance. I'm not sure what that means. Perhaps it some sort of magic device or crystal. |
| 62158 You cannot use a party-required transition while someone is in dialogue. |
| 62159 But I have the evidence of Mae'Var's treachery right here! |
| 62160 But that's not what I asked you to do, is it? I needed the evidence before I could order Mae'Var's death! Now it will look like I made the evidence after the fact! |
| 62161 I will leave them as they are. No need to change anything. |
| 62162 In five days, I will tell you the results of their work. |
| 62163 Leave it as it is, then. |
| 62164 Don't just stand there! Go downstairs and see if there are any more! |
| 62165 Stop them! Kill them! That's what you're here for! |
| 62166 Why do you wish to waste my time with idle banter? |
| 62167 It is not so simple. I have new information that suggests this land that is in dispute may not even be yours to begin with. |
| 62168 Suffer the wrath of Beshaba! |

| 62328 Ahh... few things in life are as fine as the simple pleasure of a warm fire. |
| 62329 Who are you? |
| 62330 Are you a ghost? |
| 62331 I have better things to do than chat with spirits. |
| 62332 I am Giltham, the temple archivist. I look after things around hereâ€â€mostly maintaining the library and waking the old priest for services. But I was not expecting visitors. |
| 62333 I would offer to give you a tour of the library, but it is so nice and warm by this fire. I hope you understand if I prefer to stay right here. |
| 62334 It seems as if the outside world has abandoned us. It is just myself and the old priest here now, wandering amongst the dusty archives. |
| 62335 Thanks for your life story. Riveting stuff, really. Excuse me while I go find somewhere to take a nap. |
| 62336 Can you tell me anything about the old priest? |
| 62337 Do you know how I can get into the lower levels? |
| 62338 There is little to tell. A good man, though he has become forgetful in his old age. Perhaps you should speak with him. His chambers are near the northeast corner of the temple. |
| 62339 Approach him with caution. He has developed quite the temper. When I wake him up in the morning, the only way to calm him down is to have his favorite slippers ready and waiting. |
| 62340 What about the dungeon below the temple? Do you know how to get in? |
| 62341 Thanks for the advice, but I need to be going. |
| 62342 Slippers. You really are senile, aren't you? I think I've wasted enough time chatting with you. |
| 62343 Attacked?! Come, brothers of the Vigil! We are assaulted without cause! Helm, aid us! |
| 62344 To open the gate, you must first perform the ritual. But only the brave or foolish venture beneath, for there are dark secrets buried under this temple. |
| 62345 Why are you attacking us?! Come, my brethren! We are betrayed! |
| 62346 Uh... I'm a little rusty on the how the ritual works. Can you refresh my memory? |
| 62347 Thanks for the advice, but I can't stay to talk anymore. I need to be going. |
| 62348 Can you tell me anything about the old priest? |
| 62349 Within the archives, we once kept a sacred scroll describing the ritual. But lately things have gone... missing. I apologize for this. Perhaps you should speak to the old priest. |

| 62352 Can you tell me anything about the old priest? |
| 62354 Thanks for the advice, but I can't stay to talk anymore. I need to be going. |
| 62355 Greetings to you, my friend. I believe I have heard of you... you are <GABBER>, one of the companions of the child of Bhaal. Please, I must speak to <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 62356 Ahh... The child of Bhaal has come! We had hoped that our call for aid would draw you here... praise to the Watcher for hearing our prayers! |
| 62357 Praise be to Helm! |
| 62358 Does this mean we have a chance, Odren? Does this mean our duty is not lost to us? |
| 62359 Vigil Stone |
| 62360 Be at peace, Sister Garlena. <CHARNAME> has yet to hear our story, let alone agreed to aid us. We get ahead of ourselves here. |
| 62361 For a thousand years, I slept in peace, forgotten by the world beyond these temple walls. Now you dare disturb my eternal rest? |
| 62362 The divine master I serve is long forgotten, his name lost in the mists of time. But you shall taste the final remnants of his wrath! |
| 62363 I apologize for my... undeserved reaction. I will take my slippers and let you finish your work here. Look through the sarcophagus if you wish. |
| 62364 Please accept my apology, <CHARNAME>. Watcher's Keep is a long journey from any nearby settlement, and your trip could not have been an easy one. |
| 62366 I'm in a hurry. Get on with itâ€â€what do you want? |
| 62367 Vigil Stone |
| 62368 It's no trouble. What, exactly, is the problem here? |
| 62370 I would be happy just knowing who you are and what you want. |
| 62371 You're an inch from death, fool. Stop falling all over yourself and say something interesting. |
| 62372 Err... yes, yes. I suppose with the godsblood flowing in your veins, the reputation of you and your, ah, siblings exists for a reason. I will be quick, then. |
| 62373 Allow me to introduce myself properly. I am Brother Odren, currently the leader of the Knights of the Vigil. We are... a small sect that was given a most solemn charge by the Vigilant One, Helm himself. |
| 62374 A charge we are unable to fulfill, sadly. |
| 62375 Indeed. Helm appeared to us during the Time of Troubles, when all gods but he walked Faerûn as mortals. A great evil had been imprisoned, he said, and we were to be its keepers. |
| 62376 Watcher's Keep, this ruin you see before you, was once a great prison for the most terrible foes of the gods. It was abandoned for many, many centuries until Helm came to us with his news. |
| 62377 Strange runes of warding are inscribed on the floor and walls around the doorwayâ€â€though whether the purpose is to keep people out or keep something in is unclear. A warning above the door proclaims, "Caged within these holy walls, the Imprisoned One forever lies beneath." |
| 62378 The old prison would not hold this great evil for long, he said. Our order would have to maintain a vigil, to watch for the day when the evil would begin to break the great seals and escape. |
| 62379 That day has come, <CHARNAME>. The great evil struggles within and has infected Watcher's Keep to the point where we cannot bypass the creatures and foul magic that blocks our path. |
| 62380 It is our shame that we are too weak to get to the lower vaults and enact the ritual that will strengthen the old seals once again. |
| 62381 The small plaque reads: "In honor of Giltham, who served this library for many years with faith, honor, and duty. He loved nothing more than curling up by the kitchen fire with a good book. May his memory live forever." |
| 62383 The soot-blackened stones of this ancient fireplace are evidence that it was once well used. The hearth is undamaged, and the fire could possibly be lit again if the proper tinderbox could be found. |
| 62384 Once lit with the tinderbox, the fireplace crackles with dancing flames which provide a cheery glow to the kitchen, and the entire room is warmed by the heat from the lively blaze. |
| 62385 Etchings on the dais portray a man in priestly robes chanting over an altar that holds a book, a bell, and a candle. |
| 62386 The artifacts now in place, the altar shimmers and glows as you approach. The very stones beneath your feet tremble with caged power. The ritual has begun. What do you do next? |
| 62387 Open the book. |
| 62388 Odren...? Are you... are you sure that this <CHARNAME> is powerful enough to do what we could not? |
| 62389 Perhaps you are correct, Garlena. <CHARNAME>, it occurs to me that perhaps you have not accumulated enough experience to enter Watcher's Keep. It would be too dangerous, even for you. |
| 62390 Light the candle. |
| 62391 We have... some time yet before the great evil grows too powerful to be contained. I do not wish to offend, but perhaps you could return to us here when your abilities are... greater? |
| 62392 Ring the bell. |
| 62393 Leave the altar for now. |
| 62394 The bell chimes once, and the glow of the altar pulsates in response. What do you do next? |
| 62395 I don't know. I shall have to see if I have time. |
| 62396 Of course. I have much to do yet... I shall return another time. |
| 62397 Forget it, then. I've got better things to do. |
| 62398 The bell chimes a second time, and the temple shudders as the magic gathers. What do you do next? |
| 62399 Nobody tells me what I can and cannot do, Odren. My abilities are great enough. |
| 62400 The tiny blue flame of the candle burns with an unnatural intensity. What do you do next? |
| 62401 Very well. I hope that you will be capable enough soon... if the great evil escapes its prison, none of us shall be safe. |
| 62402 Watcher's Keep Brother Odren of the Knights of the Vigil has sent out a call for those capable of entering Watcher's Keep... an ancient prison holding a great evil imprisoned there by the god Helm himself. The evil is close to breaking the seals of its prison and becoming free. The Knights would enter the keep and perform a ritual to fix those seals, but cannot as they are too weak to bypass the traps and monsters within. Odren suggests that I, too, am not yet ready to enter the keep just yet. I shall return another time when my experience is greater. |
| 62403 You lay the book face up on the altar, but it slams itself shut. You realize you cannot continue the ritual until you somehow discover the proper page to which you must open the book. |
| 62404 You lay the book on the altar, open to the chapter and verse that were woven into the sleeve of the old priest's cloak, and recite the passage. What do you do next? |
| 62405 As you wish. I hope that you will find it in your heart to return to us before this evil has escaped... If that occurs, none of us shall be safe. |
| 62406 Our need is obvious, then. We need a group to enter the keep and descend to the lower vault so they may repair the mystic seals. Might you... might you do this, <CHARNAME>? |
| 62407 You ring the bell a third time. Behind you, the mirrored portal begins to glow. The gate to the lower levels is now open. |
| 62408 A voice echoes throughout the chamber: "THE RITUAL HAS BEEN DEFILED!" |
| 62409 And what is in it for me if I do? |
| 62410 Just what kind of creature is imprisoned here? |
| 62411 You replace the ritual items in your pack and leave the altar for the time being. When you return, you will have to perform the ritual from the beginning again. |
| 62414 I'll help you... but I need to know what to do. |
| 62415 Open the book. |
| 62416 Our duty is not yours, of course... we would gladly compensate you for this task. The Knights have items of power and much gold... all of it is yours if you succeed. |
| 62417 Light the candle. |
| 62418 Ring the bell. |
| 62419 And just what kind of creature is imprisoned here? |
| 62422 No, forget it. I've got better things to do. |
| 62423 Watcher's Keep Brother Odren of the Knights of the Vigil has sent out a call for those capable of entering Watcher's Keep... an ancient prison holding a great evil imprisoned there by the god Helm himself. The evil is close to breaking the seals of its prison and becoming free. The Knights would enter the keep and perform a ritual to fix those seals, but cannot as they are too weak to bypass the traps and monsters within. I refused Odren's request to enter the keep and fix his problem, although he asked that I reconsider... if this evil escapes, he says, no one shall be safe. |
| 62424 I'll help you... but I need to know what to do. |
| 62425 No, forget it. I've got better things to do. |
| 62426 We do not know. Helm called it the "Imprisoned One" only, saying it was a being of great cunning and power. Enough so that Helm himself was forced to deal with it. |
| 62427 If enough of the seals remain unbroken, however, the Imprisoned One need not even be encountered. We just... do not know. That is why our need is so dire, <CHARNAME>. |
| 62428 And what is in it for me if I do this? |
| 62431 I'll help you... but I need to know what to do. |
| 62432 No, forget it. I've got better things to do. |
| 62435 Leave the altar for now. |
| 62440 Open the book. |
| 62442 Light the candle. |
| 62443 Ring the bell. |
| 62444 Leave the altar for now. |
| 62448 Open the book. |
| 62451 Light the candle. |
| 62452 Ring the bell. |
| 62453 Leave the altar for now. |
| 62454 You... you will aid us? Ah, praise to Helm! |
| 62455 Praise Helmâ€â€he has answered our prayers! |
| 62456 Open the book. |
| 62457 Thank you, <CHARNAME>! Brother Pol will give you what you need and explain... Come, let us ascend to the top of Watcher's Keep. |
| 62458 Light the candle. |
| 62459 Ring the bell. |
| 62460 Leave the altar for now. |
| 62461 Watcher's Keep Brother Odren of the Knights of the Vigil has sent out a call for those capable of entering Watcher's Keep... an ancient prison holding a great evil imprisoned there by the god Helm himself. The evil is close to breaking the seals of its prison and becoming free. The Knights would enter the keep and perform a ritual to fix those seals, but cannot as they are too weak to bypass the traps and monsters within. I have accepted the task of entering the keep and fixing the seal that keeps this evil imprisoned. It may be a long task... the keep is large and quite dangerous... but Odren says there is still some time before the remaining seals are broken. It must be done, however, or this creature will be freed and endanger all. |

| 62463 I greet you. I would ask of you once again to undertake this mission for the Knights, but I feel you are still unready for such danger. |
| 62464 I trust your judgment. I shall return some other time. |
| 62465 Forget your mission, then! I refuse to be judged by you! |
| 62466 I think I am ready, Odren. Tell me what you want. |
| 62467 I greet you once again. Have you reconsidered? Will you aid the Knights in our duty, containing this evil in the keep? |
| 62468 I might. Tell me what you want. |
| 62469 I'll help you... but I need to know what to do. |
| 62470 Forget it. I'm not interested. |
| 62471 In the center of the room is a large mirrorâ€â€the magical gate to the lower levels of the dungeon. The portal appears inactive. |
| 62472 The mirror hums with energy. The gate to the lower dungeon is now open. |
| 62473 Here... we are atop the ancient prison at last. Before us is the entrance into its first level, the first obstacle towards reaching the lower vault. |
| 62474 In order to enter... as well as leave... you will need the proper holy symbol. Talk to Brother Pol... he is our elder and can give you what you need as well as answer any of your questions. |
| 62475 Inside the sarcophagus lie the remains of the old priest's possessions. Woven into the sleeve of his ceremonial robe is the following: Holy Ritualâ€â€Chapter XII, Verse XIV. You make a mental note of it. |
| 62476 There is an inscription on the sarcophagus. "Here lies our faithful servant. Despite a somewhat suspect memory in his later years, he served with duty and honor." If you wanted to, you could move the heavy lid and peer inside the sarcophagus. |
| 62477 Any supplies you need can be acquired through Sister Garlena. |
| 62478 May the Vigilant One walk by your side, <CHARNAME>. I pray that your godsblood lends you power enough to ensure your success... we all do. |
| 62479 Aye. I know a fair amount of lore about the old seals within. The evil that has infected this place, however... that I know little about. |
| 62480 You may have access to all the resources of our Order, <CHARNAME>... at a fair price, of course. Would that we were wealthy enough to offer it to you for free. |
| 62481 Watcher's Keep Odren has brought me to the top of Watcher's Keep and shown me the entrance. To get inside, I will need the proper holy symbol and ritual from Brother Pol, who can also answer my questions. Equipment can be bought from Sister Garlena, who is giving us access to the Knights' resources. |
| 62482 Greetings to you, <GABBER>. It is good to see you are well. I have sensed no change in the seal... I trust all is well? |
| 62483 I have questions that I need answered. |
| 62484 Everything is well enough, although I have not yet reached the lower vault. |
| 62485 No, everything is *not* well. Forget your mission! I've had enough of it! |
| 62486 Brother Pol can answer your questions, I am certain. Or at least he can try. Helm be with you, <GABBER>. |
| 62487 Guests! Welcome to my domain. No doubt you seek a challenge. But are you worthy of it or merely fools? We shall soon see. |
| 62488 And the Imprisoned One has not yet destroyed the seals, so this is well. I thank you again for your assistance, <GABBER>, and pray that you persevere. |
| 62489 You are upset, <GABBER>... I understand. But you agreed to aid us in our onerous task. I can only pray that you change your mind and persevere. |
| 62490 I shall prove my worth to you, imp. I await your challenge. |
| 62491 I'm sick of games and puzzles and tests. |
| 62492 Let us see if that lump between your shoulders does more than hold up your hat. We begin with a riddle. Pay attention. |
| 62493 Sadly, you do not make the rules here. This is my realm, my little world. So we do as I say. |
| 62494 You return! We... we sensed that the lower vault had been breached! What has occurred? Did you not cast the ritual? |
| 62495 I have as many brothers as sisters, but my brothers have twice the number of sisters as brothers. How many children do my parents have? |
| 62496 Four. |
| 62497 Five. |
| 62498 Six. |
| 62499 Seven. |
| 62500 Eight. |
| 62501 Nine. |
| 62502 Ten. |
| 62503 Eleven. |
| 62504 Twelve. |
| 62505 Yes, I did! And I bet you know exactly what happened next! |
| 62506 So very, very wrong. Obviously, you need a hint. Very wellâ€â€be aware that I am female. Now, one last chance. I suggest you get it rightâ€â€or you'll be very, very sorry. |
| 62507 I did cast your ritual... only to find myself entombed with your Imprisoned One! |
| 62508 There's no more need for your ritual. Your Imprisoned One is dead. |
| 62509 I suspected your intelligence was lacking when I first saw you. But do not worry. You shall have an eternity to try and figure out the right answer. |
| 62510 I did cast the ritual, yes. I don't think it's needed anymore, though... your Imprisoned One is dead. |
| 62511 Correct. Perhaps you are a worthy mental adversary despite your doltish appearance. But to complete this challenge, you must beat me at a game of coins. |
| 62512 The rules are simple. Here are 11 coins. We alternate turns, taking 1, 2, or 3 coins at a time. Whoever takes the last coin loses. A simple game to learn, but a difficult one to master. |
| 62513 Since I always play fair, I will let you start. 11 coins are left. How many will you take? Rememberâ€â€whoever takes the last coin loses. |
| 62514 Oh, I cast your ritual all right. Imagine my surprise to find myself entombed along with your Imprisoned One. |
| 62515 No, your ritual wasn't needed. I killed your Imprisoned One. |
| 62516 No, I didn't. I met your Imprisoned One, however. He had some interesting things to say about you. |
| 62517 I will take 1 coin. |
| 62518 I will take 2 coins. |
| 62519 I will take 3 coins. |
| 62520 Actually, why don't YOU go first? |
| 62521 If that is what you wish, then so be it. I will take 2 coins. |
| 62522 There are 9 coins left. How many will you take? |
| 62523 I shall take 1 coin. The game is getting interesting, wouldn't you agree? |
| 62525 But... but if you were able to cast the ritual... no! Your presence here means that Demogorgon is destroyed! By Helm, you destroyed him?! |
| 62527 Well played. I will take 1 coin. There are 8 left, and it is your move. |
| 62528 So... you knew that the Imprisoned One was Demogorgon all along. |
| 62529 I will take 1 coin. |
| 62530 I will take 2 coins. |
| 62531 I will take 3 coins. |
| 62532 Very well, just 1 coin for me. Things are not looking too good for you now, are they? |
| 62533 You tricked me! You *meant* to lock me up in there with him! |
| 62534 Didn't think I had it in me? Yes, I destroyed him... and you! |
| 62535 I will take 2 coins. I am afraid you are in a difficult position now. |
| 62536 Let me see... I grab 3 coins. I hate to say it, but this one is as good as over. |
| 62537 Only 5 coins left, and it is your play. How many do you want? |
| 62538 Only 2 coins leftâ€â€a simple decision on my part. I take 1. |
| 62539 Just 3 coins remain. Obviously, I will take 2 of them. |
| 62540 Let me see... 4 coins left. Give me these 3 coins, and the match is over! |
| 62541 Just 1 lonely coin left, and it is all yours. As I said, a difficult game to master. But I will give you another chance. |
| 62542 I will take 1 coin. |
| 62543 I will take 2 coins. |
| 62544 I will take 3 coins. |
| 62545 Damnâ€â€you are smarter than you look. Or sound. Or act. Fine, I will take 3 coins and leave just 2. Try not to sprain anything figuring this out. |
| 62546 I will take 1 and leave the last coin for you, imp! The victory is mine! |
| 62548 We... I did. I am ashamed to say it, but I did. I did not think you... or anyone... would be strong enough to actually slay the Prince of Demons. |
| 62549 I will take 1 coin. |
| 62550 Not... not that Demogorgon is dead. You destroyed his form on this plane, freeing him to return to the Abyss. For him, this is just as good as his freedom. |
| 62551 I will take 2 coins. |
| 62552 I will take 3 coins. |
| 62553 I forfeit. Let's try this one more time. |
| 62554 Oh, we have failed our god! We were too cowardly to accept our duty... to enter the keep and seal ourselves within with the ritual! And now... now the Imprisoned One is free. |
| 62555 But... but at least Demogorgon is not free to roam the land. That would have been... horror beyond belief. Perhaps... perhaps Helm will forgive us, for at least you have prevented that. |
| 62556 I have done you a great misdeed. My pride told me I could not be sacrificed, but that... a Bhaalspawn... It... it was a grievous wrong. Can you forgive a foolish man? |
| 62557 I hope you think on this, Odren. I understand why you thought this was necessary, though... even if it was wrong. |
| 62558 I hope your god forgives you, Odren, because I won't. Not ever. Get out of my sight! |
| 62559 Forgive you? Forget it, fool! Payback's a bitch! |
| 62560 More games? Fineâ€â€get on with it. |
| 62561 I passed your pathetically simple test. I can certainly beat you at coins. How do you play? |
| 62562 Forgive you? I suppose... if your reward is large enough. |
| 62563 We have fallen far from our true calling. You are too kind, <CHARNAME>, to allow us the chance to redeem ourselves in the eyes of Helm. |
| 62564 Come, my brethren! We go on a pilgrimage now... we must atone for our wrongs and redeem ourselves. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. If we meet again, may it be under fairer circumstances. |
| 62565 It shames me even more to say it, but... we do not have a reward. We did not think it necessary. Take what we have, <CHARNAME>, if it pleases you. You have earned it and far more. |
| 62566 Not enough, priest. Not enough by far. Prepare to die! |
| 62567 Four. |
| 62568 Fine, fine. I suppose it will have to do. |
| 62569 Five. |
| 62570 Six. |
| 62571 Seven. |
| 62572 Eight. |
| 62573 Nine. |
| 62574 Ten. |
| 62575 We have fallen far from our true calling, but it is Helm who shall judge us. We shall not stand idly as you murder us, Bhaalspawn. To arms, my brethren! |
| 62576 Eleven. |
| 62577 Twelve. |
| 62578 You may have won, but I'm not going to stick around here and listen to your gloating! |
| 62579 A plaque on the wall reads: "In memory of Giltham, the loyal archivistâ€â€he tended the fire, cared for the books, and sometimes even brought us our slippers. May his spirit endure forever." |
| 62580 Unlike the other rooms, there appear to be no monsters in here. The runes inscribed on the floor and walls just inside the door to this room are similar to those at the main entrance to the temple. |
| 62581 Watcher's Keep The Imprisoned One held within the vault that is Watcher's Keep turned out to be none other than Demogorgon, the Prince of Demons himself. I was able to defeat the creature and send it back to the Abyss... and then confront Odren outside of the keep. He admitted that he had known of Demogorgon's presence... his plan had been for me to seal myself inside the prison along with the demon instead of them. Odren was remorseful for his blatant cowardice, however, and I decided not to seek retribution. |
| 62582 Watcher's Keep The Imprisoned One held within the vault that is Watcher's Keep turned out to be none other than Demogorgon, the Prince of Demons. I have confronted Odren outside of the keep. He admitted that he had known of Demogorgon's presence... his plan had been for me to seal myself inside the prison along with the demon so that he would not have to. Odren was remorseful for his blatant cowardice, but I was not about to allow such a slight to pass without retribution. I have defeated the Prince of Demons. Odren and his Helmites would be less than a match for me and hopefully a message to the rest of Faerûn not to treat me similarly. |
| 62583 You... you destroyed Demogorgon? You destroyed the Prince of Demons?! How is this possible?! |
| 62584 So... you knew that the Imprisoned One was Demogorgon all along. |
| 62586 You expected me to die in there? Or to cast your ritual and be sealed in there forever? |
| 62589 How is it possible? I'll show you how it's possible, you traitorous bastard! |
| 62592 I regret my cowardice, my failure to do my duty as Helm commanded. I allowed you to set the demon free, sending him back to the Abyss as I'm sure it wished. But I will not allow you to murder us, Bhaalspawn! |
| 62593 Strong gusts of air whip down the corridor to pull and tug at your clothing, nearly knocking you off your feet. |
| 62594 Watcher's Keep After making my way through the treacherous levels of Watcher's Keep, I discovered the Imprisoned One to be none other than Demogorgon himself, the Prince of Demons. I dispatched him back to the Abyss and visited retribution on the cowardly Knights of the Vigil who had sent me in there to either die or be trapped forever. Hopefully, this will be a message to others who try to use me similarly. |
| 62595 The crackle of flames and the smell of smoke assails your senses. A blast of heat from the room causes your skin to redden and blister. |
| 62596 The Imprisoned One... destroyed? No, this cannot be! If... if he is destroyed, he will be set free of the prison and sent back to the Abyss! <CHARNAME>, tell me this is not true! |
| 62597 But if you are here... that means the Imprisoned One is destroyed? No! Helm's mercy, no! To destroy him is to free him... to send him back to the Abyss! <CHARNAME>, tell me this is not so! |
| 62598 The Abyss, eh? Just how much did you not tell me about this Imprisoned One? |
| 62600 Oh, it's true all right. Go and see for yourself if you don't believe me. |
| 62601 Wellll... no, not really. I agreed to come and tell you he was dead, and your Imprisoned One opened a small hole in your seal so I could leave. He still lives, however. |
| 62602 The Abyss, eh? Just how much did you not tell me about this Imprisoned One? |
| 62604 Oh, it's true all right. Go and see for yourself if you don't believe me. |
| 62605 You smell the rank, acrid stench of noxious fumes wafting up from the polluted pool in the room just beyond the gate. |
| 62606 No, he yet lives. He agreed to open a small hole in the seal so I could leave and tell you he was dead... but I will not do that. |
| 62607 The cold air spilling from the room into the hall chills your bones, numbs your joints, and stiffens your clothing, making movement difficult. |
| 62608 It is true, <CHARNAME>. I deceived you, for I believed it was necessary. But if you have destroyed the Imprisoned One, then all is for naught. He will be free, and Helm's wrath shall be great! |
| 62609 Come, my brethren! We must venture into the lower vault now that the Bhaalspawn has cleared the way... we must see for ourselves if the Imprisoned One is truly dead or not. |
| 62610 You knew not what you did, <CHARNAME>, so your foolishness can be forgiven, I am sure. Farewell to you. |
| 62611 You agreed to...? So the great demon has not been destroyed? You... you successfully cast the ritual and... and persuaded the beast to enable you to escape? |
| 62612 Yes, but that's not what you were expecting, is it? |
| 62613 Yes, but that's not what you were expecting to happen, correct? |
| 62614 Within the obviously magical walls of this prison is a demon whose color and appearance constantly shift and change. Evenly spaced around the cage, there are four slots in the floor into which a rod or staff could possibly be placed. |
| 62615 As opposed to sealing myself in there with it forever? |
| 62618 I... I am ashamed, <CHARNAME>. I am ashamed at my cowardice and my pride, believing us too important and Helm's judgment too harsh to command us to enter the keep and seal ourselves within. |
| 62620 The Imprisoned One is none other than Demogorgon, Prince of Demons. We did not think he could... be defeated... and so we sought someone else to take our place and seal the demon within the keep. |
| 62621 You click the final scepter into place. Within the cage, the shapeshifting demon grins, and you hope you have done the right thing. |
| 62622 More suicidal fanatics willing to die in the service of Helm, I see. Or have you been forced into service, as I once was a millennium ago? |
| 62623 I am not a follower of Helm, though I willingly serve him in this cause, foul creature! |
| 62624 I serve no one but myself. I'm here looking out for my own interests. |
| 62625 Forced into service? What are you talking about? |
| 62626 Hmm... *chuckle* Sounds like you have been tricked into doing Helm's dirty work. Looks like we are both unwilling participants in this little drama... |
| 62627 All lies! Stand aside and let me descend to face the Imprisoned One! |
| 62628 Perhaps you could show me the way down to the next level, and I'll see if I can get us both out of this mess. |
| 62629 Well, I never really trusted that Odren anyway. What do you suggest we do? |
| 62630 Listen, friend. We can help each other. The fact of the matter is, you cannot get through the gate to the next level unless I open it for you. |
| 62631 So I'm not going to let you through the gate unless you help me end the enchantment that has kept me bound in this infernal dungeon for the last thousand years! ...Do we have a deal? |
| 62632 What must be done? |
| 62633 I'll never deal with you, foul demon! |
| 62634 You are as stupid and stubborn as those fanatical Helmites who stumbled in here forty years ago! Come back and talk to me when you are ready to see reason. |
| 62635 This cage I'm stuck in was fashioned over a thousand years ago by four archmages, who combined the power of four diverse elements to imprison me here for all eternity. |
| 62636 Glad you've decided to be reasonable. The Helmites were never reasonable. It is so much easier to deal with one who isn't a fanatic. |
| 62640 How can I get you out? |
| 62641 Why should I care? You will not be freed by me. |
| 62642 The wizards who trapped me here each had a lab on this level of the dungeon, where they worked to fashion the enchantments of my cage. |
| 62645 Each wizard created a scepter to focus and channel his power. Only the combined power of the four scepters can lock or unlock my cage. |
| 62646 I will find the scepters. What next? |
| 62647 You can stay in the cage and rot. |
| 62648 Gather the scepter keys and place them in the four slots around the cage. Once free, I'll be on my way, and you can go through the gate and take on the Imprisoned One... if you still want to. *chuckle* |
| 62649 Quickly, gather the rest of the scepters! Once you have all four, I can finally be free! |
| 62650 After a thousand wasted years, I'm finally free! *chuckle* And now to spread some seriously bloody carnage to make up for lost time. Oh, where shall I start? Where shall I start? Oh! I think I'll start with you! |
| 62651 Are you the "Imprisoned One"? |
| 62652 I am imprisoned, but I am not the "Imprisoned One." Obviously, you are not one of those fanatical Knights of the Vigil, or you would already know that. |
| 62653 And you succeeded in what should have been our duty. We are disgraced in the eyes of Helm. To think that you... a Bhaalspawn... were less worthy. It is a great misdeed. Can you forgive a foolish man? |
| 62654 I hope you think on this, Odren. I understand why you thought this was necessary, though... even if it was wrong. |
| 62655 I hope your god forgives you, Odren, because I won't. Not ever. Get out of my sight! |
| 62656 Forgive you? I suppose... if your reward is large enough. |
| 62657 Forgive you? Forget it, fool! Retribution is at hand! |
| 62658 We have fallen far from our true calling. You are too kind, <CHARNAME>, to allow us the chance to redeem ourselves in the eyes of Helm. |
| 62659 Come, my brethren! We go on a pilgrimage now... we must atone for our wrongs and redeem ourselves. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. If we meet again, may it be under fairer circumstances. |
| 62660 Watcher's Keep After making my way through the treacherous levels of Watcher's Keep, I discovered the Imprisoned One to be none other than Demogorgon, Prince of Demons himself. I performed the ritual to reseal his prison... and tricked the demon into allowing me to leave the prison to lure Odren and the Knights within. I did not... Demogorgon remains imprisoned, and Odren has left with the Knights to atone for their abandonment of their calling in trying to manipulate me. |
| 62661 It shames me even more to say it, but... we do not have a reward. We did not think it necessary. Take what we have, <CHARNAME>, if it pleases you. You have earned it and far more. |
| 62662 Not enough, priest. Not enough by far. Prepare to die! |
| 62663 Fine, fine. I suppose it will have to do. |
| 62664 What else would one expect from a child of Bhaal? Despite what we have done, it shall be Helm who judges us... not you. To arms, brethren! |
| 62665 Watcher's Keep After making my way through the treacherous levels of Watcher's Keep, I discovered the Imprisoned One to be none other than Demogorgon, Prince of Demons himself. I performed the ritual to reseal his prison... and tricked the demon into allowing me to leave the prison to lure Odren and the Knights within. I did not... Demogorgon remains imprisoned and I have taken my retribution upon the Knights of the Vigil for the part they played in trying to manipulate and imprison me. Perhaps this will be a lesson to others who think of doing the same. |
| 62666 The Imprisoned One... destroyed? No, this cannot be! If... if he is destroyed, he will be set free of the prison and sent back to the Abyss! <CHARNAME>, tell me this is not true! |
| 62668 How about we talk first about this ritual of yours? You meant to seal me in there along with him! |
| 62669 Oh, it's true all right. Go and see for yourself if you don't believe me. |
| 62670 Well, no, not really. I encountered your Imprisoned One and agreed to come out here to lure you within his prison... but he is not dead. |
| 62671 What?! So the Imprisoned One is *not* destroyed? You entered the lower vault and left without casting the ritual?! You fool! Helm curse me for thinking you could complete this task! |
| 62672 So I am left to enter the lion's maw regardless, as was my duty. Come, my brethren! The Bhaalspawn has cleared the way... we must enter the keep and complete the ritual ourselves! |
| 62673 That means nothing to me! Tell me, <CHARNAME>... did you destroy the Imprisoned One or didn't you?! If you did, then you have foolishly freed him to return to the Abyss... I must know! |
| 62674 "Abyss"? You said you knew nothing of the Imprisoned One! You lied to me! |
| 62676 Oh, he's destroyed, all right. Go ahead and see for yourself. |
| 62677 No, he isn't! Why should I do anything you ask?! |
| 62678 Th... thank you... |
| 62679 We... we meant for you to... perform *our* duty. To... trap yourself within... along with the demon. We thought... we thought ourselves too important to... sacrifice. But... a Bhaalspawn? |
| 62680 It was wrong of us. Grievously... wrong. Helm forgive us... Demogorgon is now released back to... the Abyss. But... but he is gone from this plane, at least. |
| 62681 It was... a valiant fight, no? Perhaps... perhaps we were truer to Helm in death... than in life. Please, <CHARNAME>... forgive us... |
| 62682 Watcher's Keep After making my way through the treacherous levels of Watcher's Keep, I discovered the Imprisoned One to be none other than Demogorgon, Prince of Demons himself. He is now destroyed, returned to the Abyss, presumably, and the Knights of the Vigil are destroyed. Though Odren had manipulated me out of pride into performing his sacred duty for him, in the end, he had some measure of valiance. |
| 62683 You turn the wheel, and the fan starts with a rush of air. The air begins to form into vaguely humanoid shapes. |
| 62684 The wheel cannot be turned further without the Scepter of Air. |
| 62685 There is little I can do to help you, child. Speak to Brother Odren; it is he who leads the Knights of the Vigil. |
| 62686 Please, child! Aid us in this task! The Imprisoned One must remain imprisoned at all costs, or the horror that will result will be unspeakable! |
| 62687 Helm's praises upon you, child, for your aid. As Brother Odren said, there are two things you will need within, and I shall give them to you now. |
| 62688 The first is the holy symbol that shall allow you to pass through the seals of the prison. Do not lose it, child. Without it, you cannot enter the keep... or, if you are within, you will be trapped forever. |
| 62689 The second is the ritual scroll which will repair Helm's seal upon the keep. It need only be read aloud in the presence of the Imprisoned One... you require no special training to do so. |
| 62690 Has Helm brought you to us to aid our mission? You must speak to our revered leader, Brother Odren. |
| 62691 Please, <CHARNAME>, we Knights of the Vigil are in desperate need. I beg you to return to Odren and tell him you will help us. |
| 62692 Reaching the Imprisoned One is the difficulty. Watcher's Keep was built many ages ago to contain great horrors that walked Faerûn, but it was abandoned centuries before Helm restored its purpose. |
| 62693 When Helm came to us, he asked half of our order to sacrifice themselves... to become spirits guarding the keep and adding to the ancient seals that were already in existence. |
| 62694 The spirits will guard against all who enter... they cannot be reasoned with. Add to this the evil which has been drawn to this place by the infection of the Imprisoned One. All these obstacles must be bypassed. |
| 62695 When you finally reach the lowest level, you must open the final seal to gain access to the Imprisoned One himself. I... do not know what state he will be in. Read the ritual quickly before he attacks. |
| 62696 Have you any other questions for me then, child? |
| 62697 How many levels are there in the keep? |
| 62698 How do I get into and out of the keep? |
| 62699 Why do I just not destroy the Imprisoned One and get it over with? |
| 62700 Is there anything you can tell me about what lies within the keep? |
| 62701 No, I don't think so. |
| 62702 I believe there are five separate levels within the keep, the fifth of which is the lower vault that allows access to the Imprisoned One himself. Each will have a seal that prevents access to the next level. |
| 62703 I know little of what manner of seals are in place, however, or how they might be overcome. They are meant to prevent simple access, however, so unlocking the seals will not be simple. |
| 62708 The entrance to the first level is here, at the top of the keep. You may only enter or leave through it with the holy symbol in your possession, of course. |
| 62709 The other levels all have doors that exit out to the side of the keep... but their seals may only be unlocked with the holy symbol from within, not from without. Once they are opened, however, you may reenter through them. |
| 62714 Oh, no, no! The Imprisoned One must not be killed! If indeed he even can be. Helm has strictly forbidden us from even attempting... although I do not know why. Perhaps death too would be a form of freedom. |
| 62719 Very little, child. We have been into the first level, combating the creatures that assaulted us... but we were driven back before we could examine the first seal. It is an ancient archive and temple, long unused. |
| 62720 It may be a temple to Helm; I do not know. I did not get enough time to examine everything. I would suspect, however, that the clerics that once existed within were able to access the second level in some manner. |
| 62721 Many of the old tomes within seem to be in good condition. Perhaps somewhere there may be found more information on the other levels and their seals. |
| 62726 As you desire. Helm's blessing upon you, child. |
| 62727 You may have access both to our healing skills and supplies as well as whatever equipment we have in store, <GABBER>. Come... I will show you what we have available in our stores. |
| 62728 Aaaah, a child of Bhaal. So the time has come for thee already, has it? How sad that it is mine own brethren of this time that have fallen so far from Helm's path. |
| 62729 When Helm came to us so long ago, we could not refuse our duty. I and many of my brethren gave our own lives willingly to guard this place, a task now almost finished. |
| 62730 The Brother, Odren, has shown cowardice and dishonesty in his dealings with thee. In the eyes of Helm, his fate is sealed. Will you aid a Knight of the Vigil true? |
| 62731 What is it that you need? |
| 62733 Uhhâ€â€what? Where did you come from? Iâ€â€I didn't conjure you up, did I? Uh, no, of course not. Only planar creatures get summoned. Must be more foolish adventurers. |
| 62735 Why should I trust you? You could be trying to manipulate me just like Odren. |
| 62736 Forget it! I have had my chain jerked around quite enough today, thank you. |
| 62737 I'm <CHARNAME>. I have been sent by Odren to find the Imprisoned One. Who are you? |
| 62738 Who I am and where I come from are none of your business. |
| 62739 Are you the Imprisoned One Odren talked about? |
| 62740 Odren? Imprisoned One? Those names mean nothing to me. |
| 62741 Who you are is not really important anyway. I'm the only one who matters around here. I am Carston the Magnificent, Lord of the Level! |
| 62742 If you're Lord of the Level, why are you stuck behind that glass? |
| 62743 Uh... fine. Tell me, Carston the Magnificent, how did you become Lord of the Level? |
| 62744 What's that strange machine you're in? |
| 62745 Sister Garlena |
| 62746 Aye, 'tis true. Thou hast many reasons to believe I am doing other than being honest with thee. I can do naught, however, but tell thee the simple truths and abide by thy decision. Wilt thou listen? |
| 62747 Sister Garlena |
| 62748 Greatâ€â€more raving. Is everyone in this dungeon insane? |
| 62749 Do not look at me as if I am insane. I'm just a victim of circumstance, is all. Making the best of a bad situation. It's an interesting story, really. |
| 62750 Why were those monsters attacking you? And how did you manage to drive them off? |
| 62751 Brother Pol |
| 62752 Brother Pol |
| 62753 Very well. Say what you have to, and then I'll decide. |
| 62754 Forget it. I'm through with all of this. Right now. |
| 62755 As you desire, though it saddens me. We have failed our task, and there is nothing more to be done. Go in peace, child of Bhaal. |
| 62756 The Knight, Odren, has not been honest with thee... thou knowest this. The ritual repairs the old seals, trapping the Imprisoned One... as well as the one who reads the ritual. |
| 62757 Odren intended it be thee to sacrifice thy life, rather than make his own sacrifice willingly. He also failed to tell thee the scope of the evil that lies within... the Imprisoned One is Demogorgon, Prince of Demons. |
| 62759 Odren cannot win in the battle below against the demon. The ritual is Odren's... with his death, Demogorgon will be free to leave the Watcher's Keep. Imagine, if thou wilst, what such a creature would do then. |
| 62760 What do you propose, then? |
| 62761 Thou hast three options. One is to leave... I cannot deny thee this right. The second is to rescue Odren below. Thou dost owe him nothing, it is true, and battling the Prince is a deadly task. |
| 62762 Should the Prince of Demons be destroyed, he is returned only to the Abyss. This is better, however, than freeing him loose upon this land. A third, and better, option is also possible. |
| 62763 Helm the All-Seeing has granted me a scroll... a version of the ritual you carried before. But this is Helm's own. It may be used to seal both Odren and Demogorgon within, and you need not enter the keep to do so. |
| 62764 Take this ritual scroll as the Watcher's... apology... to thee, child of Bhaal, for the disobedience of his followers. The choice, however, is still ultimately thine. What dost thou wish? |
| 62765 I will seal the keep with Helm's scroll, if that is his wish. |
| 62766 Why don't you just use the scroll yourself? |
| 62767 I would prefer to destroy Demogorgon myself. He cannot be allowed to remain here. |
| 62768 I won't leave Odren to Demogorgon's mercies, despite what he's done. |
| 62769 None of this has anything to do with me. I am leaving. |
| 62770 Is there a reward for this? Or should I be acting out of the goodness of my heart? |
| 62771 I cannot use the scroll, Bhaal child. I have no existence beyond this shade... and Helm offers the scroll to thee alone so that the ancient prison might be resealed... should that be thy choice. |
| 62772 Very well... if it costs me nothing, I will use the scroll. |
| 62773 I would still prefer to destroy Demogorgon myself. He cannot be allowed to remain here. |
| 62774 I won't leave Odren to Demogorgon's mercies, despite what he's done. |
| 62775 And is there a reward for doing this for Helm? |
| 62776 Forget it, then. This doesn't concern me... I'll be leaving now. |
| 62777 The reward is thy conscience, should such exist. I have told thee truths. If thou dost see a duty in this, it is thy choice whether to act upon it or not. |
| 62778 Very well... if it costs me nothing, I will use the scroll. |
| 62779 Why don't you use the scroll yourself? Why get me to do it? |
| 62780 I would still prefer to destroy Demogorgon myself. He cannot be allowed to remain here. |
| 62781 I won't leave Odren to Demogorgon's mercies, despite what he's done. |
| 62782 Forget it, then. This doesn't concern me... I'll be leaving now. |
| 62783 Glad you asked. This fascinating device beside me is the Machine of Lum the Mad. With it, I can summon creatures to entertain me and then unleash my wrath upon them when I get bored. |
| 62784 About ten years ago, I was an adventurer, much like you. I came with my apprentices to explore this dungeon, seeking fame and fortune. What I found was this machineâ€â€the most amazing creation I'd ever seen. |
| 62785 You must mean that strange machine you're in. What is it? |
| 62786 But how did you end up in that glass prison? |
| 62787 But how did you end up inside that glass? |
| 62788 Fair enough. But how did you get here in the first place? |
| 62789 Thy compassion has merit, Bhaal child. I shall entrust Helm's scroll with thee regardless, should you decide to alter your decision. |
| 62790 Ahhh... the glass casing. Well, you see, I didn't actually mean to create it. The Machine of Lum the Mad can be a fickle mistress. Actions have consequences which cannot be undone. |
| 62791 Take the scroll... and should you wish to use it, do so out here in the open outside of the prison. Read it aloud and thou art done; all entrances to the prison will be sealed. |
| 62792 So you fiddled with the machine, and it blew up in your face. Now you're trapped. How poetic. |
| 62793 Thou art valiant to declare such, Bhaal child... with luck, thy power will be equal to the task. Should that not be so... I shall entrust Helm's scroll with thee regardless. |
| 62795 Since you are trapped, do you want me to try and release you? |
| 62796 Go with Helm's blessing, child of Bhaal. Be safe... and be wary of thy destiny. |
| 62797 Trapped? You misunderstandâ€â€this glass protects me. It makes me impervious to harm. I need neither food nor sustenance. Even the ravages of time can no longer touch me. I have become immortal! |
| 62799 So you sit in your little cage and summon unfortunate creatures for your own twisted amusement. Nice life. |
| 62800 But surely you must want to be free? What good is immortality if you're stuck in one place forever? |
| 62801 I, Carston the Magnificent, Lord of the Level, grow weary of your chatter. Time to make things more interesting! |
| 62802 As you step into the chamber, a feeling of palpable power washes over you. You get a sensation that *something* has turned its attention towards you, gaining an alien interest in your presence that forces your insides to clench reflexively. |
| 62804 You again? What do you want this time? |
| 62805 Uh... nothing. I'll come back later. |
| 62807 When you became trapped in that cage, what happened to your apprentices? |
| 62810 So when you "became immortal," what happened to your apprentices? |
| 62812 How dare you ask about my apprentices? Maybe this will cure your curiosity! |
| 62813 I want to ask you some questions, oh great Lord of the Level. |
| 62814 I will deign to hear your questionâ€â€but beware you do not bore me, or I shall unleash the wrath of the Machine of Lum the Mad upon you! |
| 62816 Whatever happened to your apprentices? |
| 62817 Can you show me how to operate the Machine of Lum the Mad? |
| 62818 Do you know how to get down to the next level of the dungeon? |
| 62819 Is there any way to get inside that glass case of yours? |
| 62820 Can you tell me anything about the monsters you've summoned over the past few years? |
| 62821 The question bores me. Begone! |
| 62823 Fine. Rot in your cage for all I care. |
| 62824 Just one more question, Lord Carston, if I may. |
| 62825 Good. Leave me to ponder greater matters. |
| 62827 NO! No more questions. Time to make things more interesting. |
| 62839 No! Spare me, please! *sob* I beg you, don't hurt me! I never meant any harm! It was all the machine's fault, I tell you! *sob* I'm just a poor old man who got stuck inside a glass case! |
| 62841 Not so "magnificent" now, are you? Get out of my sight, you sniveling worm. |
| 62842 The more you whimper and whine, the more I'm going to enjoy gutting you! |
| 62843 I won't kill you, Carstonâ€â€even though you deserve to die for what you've done. But I'm a better person than you'll ever be. |
| 62844 Thank you, kind <PRO_SIRMAAM>! You are truly noble for sparing my wretched life! Take my journalâ€â€it may help you discover the secrets to this infernal machine. |
| 62845 Well, I'm not going down without a fight! |
| 62846 Tell me how to use the Machine of Lum the Mad, and I will let you live. |
| 62847 Demogorgon |
| 62848 Demogorgon |
| 62849 All I knew was how to summon monsters and shoot off fireballs or lightning bolts. *sob* I was too afraid to try anything else. It's the truth, I swear! |
| 62850 Then you are of no use to meâ€â€time to die, Carston! |
| 62851 If you cannot help me, then just get out of my sight, you crybaby. |
| 62852 You do not see anything physical within the chamber... but you feel its presence all around you. A phantasmal hand brushes your cheek, a curious gesture that startles you and is gone just as quickly. |
| 62853 The presence then moves away slightly, as if considering. You hear it speak within your mind. Its speech, however, is not in words. It is a mix of indecipherable emotions that burn across your brain, leaving an impression that is clear: "I am the Imprisoned One. You intrude upon my solace, mortal." |
| 62854 What are you?! Why have you been imprisoned here? |
| 62855 Get out of my mind! Show yourself! |
| 62856 I am here to seal your cage forever, monster! |
| 62857 I... meant no disrespect, Imprisoned One. I was sent to perform a task; that is all. |
| 62858 Carston seems to be encased in some type of casing made of indestructible glass. |
| 62859 Carston gives you a worried look as you approach the protective glass surrounding him. How many times will you strike the glass with the mallet? |
| 62860 One. |
| 62861 Two. |
| 62862 Impressions assault your mind briefly... knowing amusement combined with bitterness and images that your mind's eye refuses to recognize and turns away from. Deeper impressions instill a sense of one name that the being prefers... one that applies to you and it both: prisoner. |
| 62863 Three. |
| 62864 Four. |
| 62865 Five. |
| 62866 Six. |
| 62867 Seven. |
| 62868 Eight. |
| 62869 Nine. |
| 62870 Ten. |
| 62871 You strike the glass, carefully counting each blow. Nothing happens. Carston cackles gleefully at your failure and gives you a malevolent grin as he pulls one of the levers on the Machine of Lum the Mad. |
| 62872 You strike the glass six times, then wait expectantly. The magical cage begins to vibrate, giving off a high-pitched hum. A second later, it dissolves into nothing more than dust. |
| 62873 I am no prisoner here! What do you imply? |
| 62874 I refuse to listen to your lies! The ritual will keep you prisoner forever! |
| 62875 The presence reels from your mind with disdain and outrage, settling to amused acceptance. It calmly tells you to read the scroll of the false Helmites, but warns you not to be surprised if the results are not what you expect. |
| 62876 I do not strike the glass. |
| 62877 Carston breathes a sigh of relief as you walk away. |
| 62878 Impressions again flood through your mind... it knows why you have come and warns you that you will join it in its imprisonment unless you are smarter than those who sent you. |
| 62879 What do you mean? Explain yourself! |
| 62880 No... no more. Have mercy. I will never tell you. Please... just let me die. |
| 62881 I am not here to hurt you. I'm here to help. |
| 62882 Never tell me what? What are you talking about? |
| 62883 And that's exactly what I'm going to do! |
| 62884 I want answersâ€â€NOW! |
| 62885 I told you fiendsâ€â€Carston deserves to stay in that glass forever! I will never let him escape! |
| 62886 Youâ€â€you are not one of those... monsters. You cannot help me. Just let me die in peace, I beg you. |
| 62887 Smarter than... the Knights of the Vigil? Explain yourself! |
| 62888 How do you know Carston? |
| 62889 Your tricks shall not protect you from the ritual! |
| 62890 Spill your guts about Carstonâ€â€or I'll spill 'em for you! |
| 62891 Don't speakâ€â€I can help you if you just lie still. |
| 62892 Why would I be imprisoned? |
| 62893 All of the impressions in your mind become more vague as it withdraws from you, waiting for you to commit your act. |
| 62894 Low power suddenly thrums throughout the room as the presence gains a measure of respect for your willingness to listen. Faint anger and outrage flood through you, directed towards something other than yourself. It is simple, your mind interprets... you are being deceived. |
| 62895 Please, just a few questions. |
| 62896 If you want peace, you better give me some answers! |
| 62897 My wounds run deep; my time is almost done. But... I shall answer your questions if I am able. |
| 62898 How do you know Carston? |
| 62899 Another image forms in your mind, and you recognize dour men in armor... and further, behind them, lurks a sinister purpose. Helmites, you are told, the Knights of the Vigil. There is bitterness and anger in the presence as it conveys its unjust imprisonment by a sect who do not worship Helm at all, but secretly take succor from Helm's darkest enemies. You are told that this is why the Imprisoned One is kept here, to keep their secret. |
| 62900 How did you end up in this place? |
| 62901 Why did those illithids torture you? |
| 62902 Is there some way to get through that glass case around Carston? |
| 62903 No! I will not tell you that. He deserves to stay there for ever. Ask of me something else if you wish. But not that. Never that. |
| 62904 Carston was... my master. He brought me, and his other apprentices, to this horrid place many years ago, seeking long-forbidden knowledge buried within the depths of this dungeon. |
| 62905 Echoes stir in your mind as it asks why you think the Knights would send you into this place instead of coming themselves. You are told to ask yourself what will occur when the seals are strengthened. Impressions of amusement swirl as you are asked if you believe the holy symbol will truly let you leave, then? |
| 62906 He led us through the traps and guardians of the upper levels of the dungeon. When we came across the Machine of Lum the Mad, he knew it was the only way to open the gate to the lower dungeon. |
| 62907 Carston was foolish enough to think he could master the machine. He studied the controls, then flipped a switchâ€â€and was instantly encased in that magic shell of glass. |
| 62908 Before we apprentices could come to his aid, that idiot Carston flipped another switch. Instantly, we were surrounded by a horde of ravaging demons from another plane. |
| 62909 We might all have survived if that fool Carston had let us work our spells. But he panicked and began flipping switches at random. Between the fireballs, lightning, and monsters he unleashed, it is a miracle I escaped with my life. |
| 62910 My companions were not so luckyâ€â€torn limb from limb by demons or burnt into ash by the magic of that infernal machine. Yet Carston was unharmed, completely protected inside his glass bubble. |
| 62912 I knew that machine was the key to getting out of here! |
| 62913 Few things are as dangerous as a wizard's pride. |
| 62914 Hah! The joke was on you then, wasn't it? |
| 62915 Demons. I hate demons. |
| 62916 And yet somehow you survived. |
| 62917 But even though Carston survived, he was trapped inside his prison, helpless to escape despite seeing the... No, I will not speak of that. I could have released him, but instead I left him there to rot. |
| 62918 A fitting fate. But how did you end up here? |
| 62919 Tell me how to get through that glass case of Carston's, and I will avenge you! |
| 62920 What do you know about the creatures on this level? |
| 62921 Oh, look at the time! I should really be going now. |
| 62922 Using my wits and cunning, I have survived these past ten years in this dungeon, seeking a way out. I have seen Carston grow more and more mad. He summons creatures to amuse himself, so he can watch them suffer. |
| 62923 A few years ago, he conjured up a group of illithids locked in battle with a githyanki war party. Since then, the two groups have survived in this placeâ€â€the illithids in the northwest and the githyanki in the south. |
| 62924 The creatures waste their time battling each other or launching futile attacks upon Carston in his glass case. I avoided the monsters until some months ago, when the illithids finally caught me. |
| 62925 The illithids sensed I knew the secret of Carston's cage. They tortured me in body, mind, and spiritâ€â€but I would not talk. Carston will never be free. |
| 62926 I am beyond your power to either help or harm. *cough* The tortures of the illithids cannot be undone. I... embrace the darkness. |
| 62927 Your threats hold no power over me. I have experienced agony you cannot even comprehend. |
| 62928 I don't really have time for this. I'll help you out later. |
| 62929 Enough yapping. I'm just going to kill you now. |
| 62930 And you were stuck in the middle. |
| 62931 Couldn't you all work together to find a way out of this place? |
| 62932 Less talkâ€â€more fight! Time to die. |
| 62933 Why are you so hateful towards Carston? |
| 62934 But what were you doing in this dungeon in the first place? |
| 62935 Is there nothing I can do to help you? |
| 62936 Enough! Time to end your miserable life. |
| 62937 Why do you hate Carston so much? |
| 62938 Tell me about the creatures that captured you. |
| 62939 Save your strengthâ€â€don't speak. I would help if I could... |
| 62940 Since you won't talk, I should just kill you. |
| 62941 Why should I trust you? The Knights have given me no reason to be suspicious. |
| 62942 You are merely trying to dissuade me from reading the scroll! |
| 62943 I too wonder about their motives. What do you propose? |
| 62944 If that is so, then I shall deal with you directly. Show yourself so I may end your existence! |
| 62945 An alien chuckling rings through your head as the presence draws closer. It smells murder on you and names you as the spawn of Bhaal... a being to be feared. What better a pawn for the false Helmites to send for this task? Why imprison only one dangerous being? Why not imprison two? |
| 62946 I shall read the scroll, then... I trust you less than anything else. |
| 62947 Then what do you propose to do about it? |
| 62948 Fine, then. But I will deal with you directly... show yourself so I may end your existence! |
| 62949 The images in your mind take on a dangerous glint as the air suddenly electrifies. You are warned quite clearly that demanding such a thing is dangerous. Peaceful talk is preferable, but the Imprisoned One seems perfectly willing to appear... if that is what you truly wish. |
| 62950 Githyanki, arm! Invaders to lair! Not illithids, but agents? Or seek you gold beyond the double doors, the hoard of the Ancient? |
| 62951 Illithids? What are you talking about? |
| 62952 Yesâ€â€I am a representative from the illithids, come to negotiate a peace. |
| 62953 I am no one's agent, and I seek no hoard. I wish to speak with you about the madman in the other room. |
| 62954 The illithids are dead. I have killed them all. |
| 62955 The Ancient? Who's that? |
| 62956 That is what I wish! Show yourself! |
| 62957 Gold? Hoard? Time to loot, kill, and plunder! |
| 62958 No parlayâ€â€blades for tongues. All answers found in death! Githyanki, attack! |
| 62959 Perhaps not. If you have a proposal to make, then make it. |
| 62960 I don't need to fight you, whatever you are. Reading this scroll will do the trick. |
| 62961 A debt to you. We repay with your lives. Surrender and live to serve githyanki. |
| 62962 The swirling images clarify suddenly, overwhelming your mind with a strong sensation of evil... it crawls along your consciousness like the blackest of oils. The stench of sulfur and sweet carrion fill the room as a form begins to take shape before you. |
| 62963 Are you saying my reward for killing the illithids is to surrender myself into a life of slavery? |
| 62964 One last, fleeting thought comes... words from an ancient evil so alien to your awareness that communication is barely possible. But this thought sears into your consciousness clearly... "Know me then by my best name, mortal. You face Demogorgon, Prince of Demons." |
| 62965 The feelings in your mind grow suddenly hopeful. You are told that the Imprisoned One wishes only its own freedom. A further impression follows it... the wish for the presence to get revenge for the wrong done to it. And a chance for you to gain revenge for being manipulated as well. |
| 62966 Greetings, puny one. I am Saladrex. I assumed the disturbance I heard earlier was another attack by the mind flayers, but I see now that you must have been the cause. It is nice to see a new mouse stumble into my lair. |
| 62967 But I do not wish to take any revenge. |
| 62968 What's a dragon doing inside this dungeon? |
| 62969 Revenge is fine, but rewards interest me more. |
| 62970 What can I do? |
| 62971 I am no mouse, wyrm! I have killed your Githyanki followersâ€â€now I shall kill you! |
| 62972 Puny one? Mouse? I am <CHARNAME>â€â€a hero of great renown! Try to be civil, or I shall have to teach you some manners. |
| 62973 I don't trust you... I'm going to read the scroll. |
| 62974 Are you the Imprisoned One? |
| 62975 I've heard enough! Show yourself, whatever you are, so I might destroy you! |
| 62976 You get the impression of a definite promise from this being. If revenge is not enough, once the Imprisoned One is free, it will have power to offer whatever you wish. Images of wealth and magic appear... as well as an offer of information on your godly heritage and its true powers... |
| 62977 All right, I'm interested. What do you need me to do? |
| 62978 I don't trust you... I'm going to read the scroll. |
| 62979 I've heard enough! Show yourself, whatever you are, so I might destroy you! |
| 62980 None of these things interest me... but neither does helping the Knights. I'm leaving. |
| 62981 The presence withdraws from your mind, watching you warily... but says nothing. |
| 62982 A series of images take you a moment to understand. The Imprisoned One wishes you to go to the leader of the Knights... tell him that you have destroyed it. He will wish to enter the keep to confirm this. The Imprisoned One will kill him... and with his death, it shall be free at long last. The false Helmites will be destroyed, and justice shall be done. |
| 62983 Very well. I will do this. |
| 62984 No... I will not be manipulated by you. I will read the scroll and be done with it. |
| 62985 No, I will not take part in your plan. Show yourself, whatever you are... I shall destroy you here and now. |
| 62986 The presence is obviously pleased and grateful. The whispers tell you it will be pleased to await the arrival of the false Helmites at your leisure. |
| 62987 Watcher's Keep I have encountered the Imprisoned One after opening the final seal and listened to its story of false imprisonment by the Knights of the Vigil and its offer of revenge and reward for its freedom. According to it, the Knights had planned for me to be sealed up in this place along with the Imprisoned One... something that strikes me as having the ring of truth. In order to free the Imprisoned One, I will have to go to Odren and tell him that the Imprisoned One is dead... Odren will investigate, and the Imprisoned One will kill him. |
| 62988 Feelings of faint surprise creep through your mind. The presence asks if you no longer intend to read the scroll... With clear hope, it suggests that perhaps now you are willing to act against the false Helmites? |
| 62989 Why should I act against them? What have they done to me? |
| 62990 What do you propose? |
| 62991 No, I intend to read the ritual. Begone. |
| 62992 No! I demand that you show yourself! I will end your existence now! |
| 62993 With disgust, the presence fades a bit, suggesting that you get on with your foolish task if that is your intention. You will see the truth soon enough. |
| 62994 You feel faint probes gently pushing at your mind. You sense that the Imprisoned One is curious as to why you have not yet gone on to the Knights of the Vigil. |
| 62995 My githyanki? Ha! What makes you think I have anything other than a passing relationship with lesser creatures such as them? |
| 62996 I have decided not to aid you. I will read this scroll after all. |
| 62997 I have decided I would rather destroy you, whatever you are. Show yourself! |
| 62998 Well, if the githyanki weren't working for you, what are you doing down here? |
| 62999 I do not wish to help you kill Odren, or help him either. I am leaving. |
| 63000 Lookâ€â€all I'm trying to do is start a fight. Would you mind obliging me? |
| 63001 How do I know you are being truthful, that you will keep your end of the bargain? |
| 63002 What is it about us dragons that brings out the violent urges in all these lesser creatures we meet? Must be the treasure, I guess. Wouldn't you rather hear the fascinating story of how I ended up in this place? |
| 63003 I'm going, don't rush me. |
| 63004 Noâ€â€not really. I just want to fight. |
| 63005 The presence in the room is faintly suspicious but says nothing. |
| 63006 Fine. Tell me, Saladrexâ€â€how did you ever end up in a place like this? |
| 63007 Imprisoned One? I cannot help you there. Wouldn't you rather talk about me, though? Surely I am the most impressive creature you have ever seen. |
| 63008 Indecipherable sensations swim about you as the presence considers, nonplussed. It cannot prove anything to you, it finally decides. Read the scroll if you wish to learn the truth, it suggests, or confront the Knights themselves. Until the Imprisoned One is free, it has no power to convince you. |
| 63009 Whatever. Seen one dragon, seen 'em all. We gonna fight soon or what? |
| 63010 A dragon with an egoâ€â€what a shock. Very well. How did you end up in this dungeon, oh most wondrous of lizards? |
| 63011 My story is truly a grand tale! Of course, every story about me is going to be grand simply by virtue of the main character. |
| 63012 The currents in the room waver as feelings of resentment laced with amusement wash over you. You interpret the sensations as the Imprisoned One's congratulations... the seals are renewed. It tells you to attempt to exit now... and to come back to it when you fail. |
| 63013 I would be honored to hear your tale, glorious creature. Please tell me how you came to be in this dungeon. |
| 63014 The presence dances about you with amused chitters. It knows that the exits are closed to you now. Bhaalspawn and Imprisoned One together, two dangerous entities locked away for the price of one. Perhaps now you are convinced that the false Helmites intended this all along... |
| 63015 That goes without saying, oh mighty Saladrex. Please continue. |
| 63016 Oh, for the love of Bhaal! Give me a break! |
| 63017 I must admit you are a magnificent specimen, Saladrex. How could you possibly have ended up trapped in this dungeon? |
| 63018 All right, then, what do you propose? |
| 63019 I demand to know how to get out of here! |
| 63020 I don't need your help. I'll find my own way out. |
| 63021 Boring! Let's just cut to the chaseâ€â€time to die, Saladrex! |
| 63022 Like most of the unfortunate creatures on this level, I was summoned by the mad magician in the glass cage. However, unlike most of the others, I have no real desire to escape this place. |
| 63023 Why not? Too scared to face the real world? |
| 63024 Why choose to keep the grace and beauty of your form hidden from the world, Saladrex? |
| 63025 Maybe you just need the release of death! |
| 63026 I have only been here a few yearsâ€â€an insignificant time for a dragon. But I choose to remain for a number of reasons. For one, I find the antics of Carston and the other lesser creatures on this level amusing. |
| 63027 The presence roars with amusement and withdraws into the room. The images you receive you interpret as it wondering if you will continue to amuse it like this throughout all the rest of the years that you survive here. |
| 63028 Plus, I have been able to acquire a fair hoard of treasure from the endless supply of beings Carston conjures up with that machine. And usually I have little to fear from thieves and looters in here. |
| 63029 Images flow through your mind as the presence considers. It offers that there are two ways to exit. The first is to listen to its offer. The second is to destroy it... without the Imprisoned One, the presence imagines that the prison would be once again open. Behind this feeling is muffled amusement. |
| 63030 Let me hear your offer, then. |
| 63031 Then show yourself so I can destroy you! |
| 63032 Forget it. I'll find my own way out of here. |
| 63033 The presence is now far more intent, hope seizing upon opportunity. You have been deceived, you are told... you know that now. Deceived by the unworthy false Helmites, just as they imprisoned it. It wishes to be free... and it also wishes revenge. |
| 63034 All right, then, what do you propose? |
| 63035 More images flood in, telling you that the Imprisoned One has been slowly marshaling its power to free itself... a process that would take an eon all told. But it has enough power now to open the smallest of holes in the seal... not enough for it, but enough for you. |
| 63036 I assure you I have no intention of stealing any of your treasure, great Saladrex. |
| 63037 Pleased images swirl in your mind, telling you to go to the Knights of the Vigil and tell their leader that the Imprisoned One is destroyed. Then it may have its revenge. With his death, it will be free... and it will reward you handsomely. Indeed... various fleeting images hint to you that it has knowledge of how to unlock the powers of Bhaal within you. |
| 63038 I don't like the implication in that look you give me when you mention thieves. |
| 63039 Sounds like you've gone soft! Time to take that precious treasure you're guarding! |
| 63040 Perhaps I am paranoid, <CHARNAME>. The Machine of Lum the Mad has had some small effect on all the creatures trapped in here. We sometimes behave irrationally. |
| 63041 Very well, I will do this. |
| 63042 So you're saying you've got a few scales loose in the old head hide. It shows. |
| 63043 No, I will not take part in such a plan! There must be another way out! |
| 63044 They say there is a fine line between madness and genius, great Saladrex. |
| 63045 The presence is pleased and hopeful that you will keep your word. An image forms in your mind that you are to leave through the door on this level... the Imprisoned One will ensure that the seal is clear for you. |
| 63046 A crazy dragonâ€â€sounds like a fun battle. Have at you, Saladrex the Unhinged! |
| 63047 Too true, I'm afraid. But I grow weary of this conversation now. Perhaps you could return another time? |
| 63048 Watcher's Keep Odren has entered the keep to confront Demogorgon and will no doubt be killed in the process. An apparition appeared and offered me a scroll from Helm himself that will allow me to seal both Demogorgon and the unfaithful Odren inside the keep forever. I accepted it... and have only to use the scroll anywhere in the area outside of the prison... then the Imprisoned One's lair will be sealed forever. |
| 63049 Watcher's Keep I have discovered that the ritual to keep the Imprisoned One sealed here has done the same to me as well... something that the Knights of the Vigil hardly could have not known about. I have agreed to help free the Imprisoned One, who wants revenge as well and has agreed to open a small hole in the seal so I may escape... In order to free it, I will have to go to Odren and tell him that the Imprisoned One is dead... Odren will investigate, and the Imprisoned One will kill him. |
| 63050 Very wellâ€â€I will retreat and return again later to bask in the glory of Saladrex. |
| 63051 Please, wise Saladrex, may I ask you some questions? |
| 63052 Hold on, sulfur-breath! I sat through your chatterâ€â€now I need some questions answered! |
| 63053 Sorry, Saladrex. I'm busy later. Guess I'll just have to kill you now. |
| 63054 Various sensations from the presence tell you that this is true... but there is an undertone of faint amusement. The other way out, it suspects, is to destroy it. Without the Imprisoned One within, no doubt the prison will open. |
| 63055 Perhaps when you return, I will be in a more talkative mood, and we can resume our conversation. |
| 63056 Show yourself then, and let us have this over with! |
| 63057 Then I have little choice but to agree to do as you ask. |
| 63058 Then I will find some other way out! |
| 63059 The presence appears again, wondering if you have changed your mind yet... or perhaps you have found some other means of leaving? |
| 63060 Ah, you have returned. Sooner than I expected... but I do not blame you for wishing to be overwhelmed by my glory once again. |
| 63061 I might change my mind. What, exactly, is your offer? |
| 63062 There must be some other way out of here! Tell me what it is! |
| 63063 I'll find my own way out, don't you worry. |
| 63064 The presence is faint and tersely informs you to leave while you can... it cannot maintain the hole in the seal for long. |
| 63065 White-hot images sear across your mind. The truth of them is no longer cloaked from you, and the filth of the evil and hate that was hidden is sickening. One thought becomes dominant over all... "DEMOGORGON IS FREE. DEATH MY SCEPTER AND PAIN MY CROWN. THE PRINCE OF DEMONS WILL LOOSE SWEET DESTRUCTION!" |
| 63066 Oh most powerful of dragons, may I receive the benefit of your wisdom? |
| 63067 I wish to ask you some questions. |
| 63068 Hey, flame-boy! Prepare to meet a grisly end! |
| 63069 I think not, <CHARNAME>. From many of your comments, I sense you do not truly respect my greatness. I do not feel like talking to one who does not recognize my grandeur. Come back later, and I may be in a better mood. |
| 63070 I wish to ask you some questions. |
| 63071 Oh most powerful of dragons, may I receive the benefit of your wisdom? |
| 63072 Very well, ask your questions, and I will share my knowledge with you. |
| 63073 Do you know how to get down to the next level of the dungeon? |
| 63074 Can you tell me anything about the Imprisoned One? |
| 63075 Do you know how to get through the glass cage that protects Carston? |
| 63076 What can you tell me about using the Machine of Lum the Mad? |
| 63077 What can you tell me about the githyanki and the illithids? |
| 63078 Where did Carston come from? |
| 63079 Do you know how to get past the vault doors in the room with the torches? |
| 63080 Is that all, <CHARNAME>? |
| 63081 Yes, that is all for now. I will leave you for the time being. |
| 63082 If I may, I would like to ask another question. |
| 63083 I would imagine the Machine of Lum the Mad is the key to descending to the next level. Other than that, I could not really say. |
| 63084 I know nothing of this "Imprisoned One." That is a concern for lesser creatures such as yourself. |
| 63085 An interesting question indeed! I do have some knowledge of this matter. The crystal mallet is the key. Strike it against Carston's cage six times, and the glass will dissolve. |
| 63086 Thanks. I'll be going now. |
| 63087 Do you know where this mallet can be found? |
| 63088 From the comments of the githyanki leader, I know it was recently in possession of the illithids in the northern part of the dungeon. Where it is now I could not say. |
| 63089 Carston summoned both groups several years ago. They waste their time battling each other or launching impotent attacks against Carston's glass cage. Foolish creatures, all... though the gith always showed me the proper respect. |
| 63090 The mad mage was here when I first arrived, though I suspect he is nothing more than a foolish adventurer who toyed with a contraption beyond his control. Now he is trapped within his glass cage. |
| 63091 Watcher's Keep Odren has entered the keep to confront Demogorgon and will no doubt be killed in the process. An apparition appeared and offered me a scroll from Helm himself that will allow me to seal both Demogorgon and the unfaithful Odren inside the keep forever. I declined to use it, though the apparition gave it to me anyway... it need only be used in front of the door that leads to Demogorgon. Instead, I intend to go and confront the Demon Prince myself. |
| 63092 Why do these things always end in violence? *sigh* Very well, once again I must prove the superiority of dragons over would-be heroes. |
| 63093 Is it true dragon meat tastes like chicken? Never mind, I'll find out for myself. |
| 63094 I know a little of this matter. The torches must be fueled by the oils found in the colored vats. I suspect there is a specific pattern which must be followed, but I cannot say for sure. |
| 63095 I cannot tell you much about the devious contraption, but I do know this: There are notes scattered about this level that may give you the combinations to the machine. Seek them out. |
| 63096 My thanks. |
| 63097 Bigby's Clenched Fist |
| 63098 Bigby's Clenched Fist (Evocation) Level: 8 Range: 35 ft. Duration: 4 rounds Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special This spell causes a giant disembodied hand to squeeze and constrict the target once per round for up to 4 rounds. It initially smashes the target for 3d6 damage with no save, and the target is held. In the second round, the target can save vs. Paralysis at -2 to escape. If they fail to save, the hand does 4d6 damage. The following round, the target can save vs. Paralysis with no penalty. If they make the save, they are free to move, if they fail, the spell does 6d6 damage and holds them for 2 rounds. After the 4th round, the spell is finished. Magic Resistance will stop the spell. |
| 63099 What are thee, mortal? Another crusader sucked into this dire prison along with the tanar'ri? Bah! Die, mortal, and be grateful! |
| 63100 The Machine of Lum the Mad appears securely fastened to the floor. The bizarre contraption has a number of levers and dials protruding from all sides. |
| 63101 What are thee, mortal? Another fleshling drawn from the planes into this prison of the tanar'ri? Mmmm... I do not smell the Blood War on thee, mortal. Speak quickly or suffer our wrath! |
| 63102 There are three long levers, two large dials, and a single bright red button that appear to be the primary controls. It would be wise to limit your experiments to these main switches. |
| 63103 The Machine of Lum the Mad hums with power, almost daring you to use it. What do you wish to do next? |
| 63104 Pull the first lever. |
| 63105 You decide discretion is the better part of valor, and leave the machine for the time being. |
| 63106 Pull the second lever. |
| 63107 Pull the third lever. |
| 63108 Turn the first dial. |
| 63109 Turn the second dial. |
| 63110 Push the red button. |
| 63111 Walk away from the machine. |
| 63112 I am here to destroy you, demon! |
| 63113 I have no idea what you are talking about... but now you die, creature. |
| 63114 Taking a deep breath to steel yourself, you give the first lever a firm pull. |
| 63116 What are you talking about? What is this Blood War? |
| 63118 I think I'll be leaving now... |
| 63120 Is this so? Then Tahazzar will destroy thee, fleshling, as he would any other! |
| 63121 A dark beam shoots out from the machine. |
| 63122 We tanar'ri have been drawn here to this interminable maze... and we know not why. Try though we might, the planes be closed to us. |
| 63123 Nothing seems to happen... this time. |
| 63124 Our ancient foes of the Blood War, fiends of Baator, are in this maze as well. We have little doubt that it is their machinations which have trapped us here. Their destruction will free us, I be sure. |
| 63125 But the baatezu be strong indeed... it has been a challenge to... hmmm. Perhaps thou, mortal, might... nay. Nay, thou hast the stench of order and good on thee. Best to kill thee now and be done with it. |
| 63126 You are engulfed by a soft light from the machine. Your wounds begin to close instantly. |
| 63127 But the baatezu be strong indeed... it has been a challenge to... hmmm. Perhaps thou, mortal, might play a part in this. Dispatch the hated baatezu, Ka'rashur, and I would reward thee handsomely. |
| 63128 What manner of reward are you offering? |
| 63129 You feel a surge of energy through your body, causing your muscles to bulge with power. <GABBER> gained 1 point of STRENGTH. |
| 63130 I'll do the deed. Where do I find this fiend? |
| 63131 Forget it. I'll bargain with no demon. |
| 63132 I have already destroyed the fiend, I believe. |
| 63133 I have already destroyed the fiend, and I have its heart here. |
| 63134 Flames shoot out of the machine and engulf you. |
| 63135 Thou striketh me as the sort who appreciates baubles with mystic dweomers. I could summon such an item for thee, and thou wouldst have the gratitude of the tanar'ri. No small thing, that. |
| 63136 The second lever moves grudgingly beneath your hand, and you can hear the sound of gears turning from inside the machine. |
| 63137 Very well, I'll do the deed. Where do I find this fiend? |
| 63138 No, not interested. |
| 63139 You feel the chill of the grave, as if your very life force were being sucked from your body. <GABBER> loses 5 levels. |
| 63140 Thou art a most intelligent being... for a mortal. The baatezu pit fiend, Ka'rashur, may be found elsewhere in this maze. I cannot tell thee where exactly. Good hunting, fleshling! |
| 63141 Bah! Then die, as thou should! |
| 63142 You feel your limbs begin to harden, and the world dissolves beneath a veil of stone. |
| 63143 Is this so? What a grand day this would be... if it is true. Bring me the heart of that pit fiend, fleshling, and I shall reward thee handsomely for it. Something of magic... and our gratitude. |
| 63144 Very well, I'll return with the heart. |
| 63145 Forget it... I'd rather destroy you here and now. |
| 63146 I look forward to seeing it, truly. Good luck to thee, fleshling. |
| 63147 Mmm... most excellent of thee, fleshling. You have earned the gratitude of the tanar'ri. Odd, however, that we still cannot open our gate. Bah! Here is your reward... now begone and leave us be. |
| 63148 Your spirit is bolstered by an influx of life energy. You feel whole again, your spirit restored. |
| 63149 Nay, mortal. I think it better that thou dost perish here and now... |
| 63150 You return, little mortal. And what have you brought with you? Ka'rashur's heart, perhaps? |
| 63151 A feeling of health and vitality washes over you. <GABBER> gained 1 point of CONSTITUTION. |
| 63152 Bigby's Crushing Hand (Evocation) Level: 9 Range: 35 ft. Duration: 3 rounds Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special This spell creates a huge disembodied fist that crushes the target and pins them to the ground. In the first round, the spell does 2d10 damage. The victim can save at -4 vs. Paralysis to avoid being pinned. If they fail, the hand does 3d10 damage the next round. The victim can again save vs. Paralysis at -2. If they fail to save, the hand does a final 4d10 damage and disappears. |
| 63153 Bigby's Crushing Hand |
| 63154 The third lever moves easily, sliding into place with an audible click. |
| 63155 To your surprise, a potion appears in your pack. |
| 63156 A blinding headache blurs your vision, causing your temples to feel as if they have collapsed into your brain. Suddenly, even the simplest thoughts seem difficult. <GABBER> loses 1 point of INTELLIGENCE. |
| 63157 Wish |
| 63158 Wish (Any School) Level: 9 Range: Unlimited Duration: Special Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Wish is a more potent version of the Limited Wish spell. It will fulfill literally the utterance of the spellcaster. Thus, the actuality of the past, present, or future might be altered (but possibly only for the wizard unless the wording of the spell is most carefully stated) in some limited manner. Greedy desires usually end in disaster for the wisher. Lastly, the wiser the wizard, the better chance that <PRO_HESHE> will choose the right wording. Wizards with low Wisdom will more often than not meet with disaster when asking for a wish. |
| 63159 Yes indeed. Here it is. |
| 63160 A bolt of lightning arcs through the air and strikes you flush in the chest. |
| 63161 No, I don't... but I intend to get it soon. |
| 63162 No, I don't. And I have no intention of getting it either. |
| 63163 We will not harm thee, little mortal. But we be busy finding our gate now... Begoneâ€â€before I have a change of heart. |
| 63164 The wisdom of experience fills your mind, giving you a deeper understanding of your own abilities. |
| 63165 What?! Outrage! Insolence! How dare thee! |
| 63166 Ahhh... betrayal comes as no surprise to demons made only of lies... |
| 63168 *hiss* A gleaming knight with holy purpose, I see. When holy knights and baatezu meet at all, one *hiss* or the other is sure to fall. *hiss* |
| 63169 Ahhh... *hiss*... a mortal new, a fleshling true. With you, there is no Blood War. Speak, mortal, and stay your sword... |
| 63170 I am here to destroy you, devil! |
| 63171 You've met your match, mortal man. Come destroy me if you can. |
| 63172 I have no idea what you are talking about... but now you die, creature. |
| 63173 What are you talking about? What is this Blood War? |
| 63174 To this maze we have been brought, led by the force we long have sought. We wish to return to Baator again... but our attempts to gate are all in vain. |
| 63175 Our ancient Blood War foes, the tanar'ri *hisss*, are also in this place. No doubt they are responsible for the plight we now face. |
| 63176 But the tanar'ri be too strong; our battles are many and long. Perhaps you, mortal, might... nay. I sense you are too good to rid us of the hated brood. Best kill you now before trouble you become. |
| 63177 But the tanar'ri be too strong; our battles have been many and long. You have great power, mortal, it is true... Kill the balor, Tahazzar, and be rewarded by the baatezu. |
| 63178 What manner of reward are you offering? |
| 63179 Magic is plentiful in Baator, you see, and while I cannot go there, I may draw things to me. Something sufficient will be given to you... plus the goodwill of the baatezu. |
| 63180 Very well, I'll do the deed. Where do I find this fiend? |
| 63181 Ahhh... *hissss*... it is always good to meet intelligent mortals. The balor, Tahazzar, is in this maze. Search the portals. |
| 63182 No, not interested. |
| 63183 *hisssss*... I see. Then die quickly. |
| 63184 Very well, I'll do the deed. Where do I find this fiend? |
| 63185 Forget it. I'll bargain with no devil. |
| 63186 This tanar'ri you speak of... I have already destroyed the demon, I believe. |
| 63187 How grand that would be... if you speak true. Bring his heart to me, mortal, and I shall reward you. An item of power... and the goodwill of the baatezu. |
| 63188 Very well, I'll return with the heart. |
| 63189 I will be pleased to have the heart soon... ah, to cause the tanar'ri ruin. |
| 63190 Forget it... I'd rather destroy you here and now. |
| 63191 You take hold of the first dial and give it a full turn. The Machine of Lum the Mad rumbles in response. |
| 63192 This tanar'ri you speak of... I have already destroyed the demon, and I have its heart here. |
| 63193 You have the heart of the balor! You have our gratitude forevermore. *hisss* Strange, though, that we still cannot gate... perhaps the tanar'ri had naught to do with our fate? |
| 63194 I think I'll be leaving now... |
| 63195 No, you will go nowhere. Best you die now... 'tis far more fair. |
| 63196 Ahhh... *hisssss* The mortal returns once more. Sooooo... have you the heart of Tahazzar in tow? |
| 63197 Yes indeed. Here it is. |
| 63198 No, I don't... but I intend to get it soon. |
| 63199 No, I don't. And I have no intention of getting it either. |
| 63200 We are busy, mortal, attempting to summon our gate. Whatever you are wishing, it will have to wait. |
| 63201 You feel a welcome weight in your money pouch. |
| 63202 You feel a numbness in your joints and a loss of equilibrium and hand-eye coordination. <GABBER> loses 1 point of DEXTERITY. |
| 63203 An item appears in your pack. |
| 63204 Your mind reels and the world becomes a chaotic blur. |
| 63205 Jump to Cleric Spells |
| 63206 Jump to Mage Spells |
| 63207 The second dial is stiff and stubbornâ€â€it takes all your strength to twist it even a quarter of a turn. |
| 63208 A cloud of noxious gas spews forth. |
| 63209 A barrage of beneficial spells strikes you. |
| 63210 A rift to the Negative Material Plane opens momentarily, and your very soul is ripped from your body. <GABBER> loses 15 levels. |
| 63211 I smell the Blood War upon these, these mortals! Baatezu conspirators all! Kill them! |
| 63212 A swirling globe of glowing light materializes around you, then vanishes. You feel an aura of magical protection that seems to seep down into your very bones. <GABBER> gained permanent MAGIC RESISTANCE. |
| 63213 Tanar'ri! Tanar'ri in the guise of mortals; it is so! The Blood War anewâ€â€kill our ancient foe! |
| 63214 You press the red button and wait expectantly. |
| 63215 Nothing seems to happen. Perhaps moving one of the levers or dials will activate the red button. |
| 63216 You hear the crackle of energy and the pop of power from the formerly inactive magical gate in the northeast corner of the room. The way down to the next level is now open. |
| 63217 Improved Alacrity |

| 63350 Questions? Demons with questions?! Demons never ask questions before! Nervous Yakman! Yakman must be clever and lie to demons! Sneaky Yakman! |
| 63351 Extinguish the flame. |
| 63352 Leave the torch for now. |
| 63353 Extinguish the flame. |
| 63354 Calm down, calm down! I'm not a demon! |

| 63357 This is pointless. Begone with you! |
| 63358 Leave the torch for now. |
| 63359 I've had enough of this. Time to die, madman! |
| 63360 Oh, well that's okay, then. |
| 63361 Uhhh... okay. Just who are you, exactly? |
| 63362 I... see. What were you saying about demons? |
| 63363 Well, that was easy. What can you tell me about this place? |
| 63364 Good. Now why don't you, uh, go to sleep or something? |
| 63365 Yakman not remember. Forgetful Yakman. Yakman has been Yakman for so long, wandering here, he cannot remember being anything other than Yakman. |
| 63366 Well, just how long have you been here? |
| 63367 You mentioned something about demons. |
| 63368 What can you tell me about this level? |
| 63369 Okay, sure... maybe it's time for you to take a nap. Sleepy Yakman? |
| 63370 All right, that's all I need to ask. |
| 63371 Lots of demons, yes. Lots of scary demons! Frightened Yakman! Yakman run run run away when demons close... That not so hard because demons are always fighting each other! |
| 63372 Who are you, exactly? |
| 63373 Why are the demons fighting each other? |
| 63374 What can you tell me about this level? |
| 63375 I see. Maybe it's time for you to sleep for a while, yes? |
| 63376 All right, that's all I need to ask. |
| 63377 Yakman run run run around all the time. Yakman knows this place really well, yes indeedy. Knowledgeable Yakman! Maze of portals, portals lead to rooms, rooms, and more rooms! |
| 63378 Some rooms have demons. Scary demons. Demons come through portals sometimes. Demons angry, can't get out. Yakman know way out, though. Smart Yakman! |
| 63379 The way out? To the next level? How does someone get out? |
| 63380 What about these demons? Are there many of them? |
| 63381 You want Yakman to sleep? Yakman never sleep! |
| 63382 You never sleep? You must sleep. If you didn't sleep, it would drive you... oh. |
| 63383 Then just be quiet. I have no more questions for you. |
| 63384 Yakman here a long, long time. Yakman come with friends long time ago, friends who want to look for treasure. Yakman want treasure too! Rich Yakman! |
| 63385 Friends get things for ritual as Yakman watch. Statues come to life then, and poor Yakman escape through portal. Cowardly Yakman! Friends die. Yakman stuck here. Lonely Yakman. |
| 63386 You mentioned something about demons. |
| 63387 What can you tell me about this level, then? |
| 63388 Okay, sure... maybe you should go to sleep or something. |
| 63389 All right, that's all I need to ask. |
| 63390 Yakman wait here, then. Yakman keep watch for the demons. Paranoid Yakman. Well... not really paranoid since demons really come, oh yes. |
| 63391 Hail, brave <PRO_LADYLORD>! Rest assured, I know your mission. You seek the path to the Imprisoned One. But bewareâ€â€the path before you is difficult, the danger great. |
| 63392 Some demons just hate other demons. Demons have own reasons, Yakman guesses. Yakman not mind. Being second on lunch menu means Yakman survive. |
| 63393 Tell me about yourself, then. Who are you, exactly? |
| 63394 What can you tell me about this level? |
| 63395 I see. Maybe it's time for you to sleep for a while, yes? |
| 63396 All right, that's all I need to ask. |
| 63397 Yakman know... know way out, but... ummm. Way out is broken. Yakman not mean to break it, but is broken. Stupid, stupid Yakman! |
| 63398 I am prepared for whatever lies ahead. |
| 63399 What's broken? Is it fixable? |
| 63400 Yakman used to sleep, long time ago. But it get cold, so cold. Frozen Yakman! Demons come, and it get cold. No sleep make Yakman go crazy, Yakman knows. Crazy Yakman! |
| 63401 Imprisoned One? What are you talking about? |
| 63402 That sounds rather ominous. |
| 63403 You can sleep now if you like. I'll guard you. |
| 63404 On guard, foul ghost! I will send you back to the pit from which you emerged! |
| 63405 I am the Keeper of the Key, the One Left Behind. Duty compels me to remain, to stand guard over one of the keys to the final seal. |
| 63406 You must be worthy in heart, spirit, and mind before the final seal will be unlocked. My solemn task is to test the perseverance, courage, and wisdom of your heart. |
| 63407 Who are you, and what are you doing here? |
| 63408 Maybe a heal spell will help restore your sanity? |
| 63409 How do I prove myself? |
| 63410 We could destroy the demons around here... then you could sleep. |
| 63411 Never mind, then. I have other questions to ask. |
| 63412 Then just be quiet. I have things to do. |
| 63413 Yakman stupid, but not that stupid. |
| 63414 Maybe a heal spell will help restore your sanity? |
| 63415 I could destroy the demons around here... then you could sleep. |
| 63416 Never mind, then. I have other questions to ask. |
| 63417 Then just be quiet. I have things to do. |
| 63418 Then how about I put you out of your misery once and for all, you miserable wretch?! |
| 63419 That would be nice, but more demons would come. More demons always come. This Yakman knows. |
| 63420 Maybe a heal spell will help restore your sanity? |
| 63421 Perhaps I could guard you while you sleep? |
| 63422 Never mind, then. I have other questions to ask. |
| 63423 Then just be quiet. I have things to do. |
| 63424 Then how about I put you out of your misery once and for all, you miserable wretch?! |
| 63425 Okey dokey, ask away. Yakman ready, yes, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 63426 I fear I may not yet be ready for the trials. |
| 63427 Just who are you, exactly? |
| 63428 I am ready for the challenge! |
| 63429 Maybe I can prove my worth by destroying you! |
| 63430 What were you saying about demons? Are there demons here? |
| 63431 What can you tell me about this place? |
| 63432 Never mind. |
| 63433 Yakman has no idea. Yakman not know such a spell. |
| 63434 I meant me, of course. |
| 63435 I meant a cleric, of course. |
| 63436 I have no need to prove myself to anyone, least of all a ghost! |
| 63437 Someone else besides Yakman is crazy? Maybe they are in greater need of heal spell than Yakman. Yakman can wait. Yakman waited long time. Patient Yakman! |
| 63438 I meant... Oh, never mind. |
| 63439 And you thinks Yakman is crazy... |
| 63440 The trials ahead are not for the reluctant. If you are unwilling or unsure, you must not attempt these tests. Return when you are ready to face the challenge. |
| 63441 Maze lead to big cavern with portal, portal is way out. Yakman know this! Smart Yakman! But... Yakman trip and break portal. Portal broken! Clumsy Yakman! |
| 63442 You cannot harm meâ€â€my spirit is eternally bound to this place by devotion and duty. Speak with me again when you are ready to face the tests of the gauntlet. |
| 63443 Now portal broken. Demons come through portal. Demons come and be trapped in maze because portal broken. Portal must be fixed with rod, Yakman knows! |
| 63444 Fixed with a rod? What rod are you talking about? |
| 63445 Yakman has rod, but... rod broken too. Rod need three gems, and gems fall off when Yakman run. Yakman not know where gems are. You can have rod... in junk pile, it is. Generous Yakman! |
| 63448 How do I reach this cavern where the broken portal is? |
| 63449 Yakman forget. Yakman always forget. Forgetful Yakman! Yakman write it down in journal... must be around here somewhere... |
| 63450 Behind me are three doors. I may not speak of the gauntlet of ordeals which lay beyond. Complete all three challenges and return to me hereâ€â€only then will your heart be proved worthy. |
| 63451 I see. I have some more questions for you. |
| 63452 Thank you, Yakman. Why don't you... go to sleep or something? |
| 63453 All right, I have no more questions. |
| 63454 Your task is begun, but far from over. You must complete the challenge beyond each door before the worth of your heart is beyond doubt. |
| 63455 Wh-what? Who... who are you? |
| 63456 You have completed the challenges of the gauntlet and proved your heart is worthy to face the Imprisoned One. The key to the final seal is yours. |
| 63457 Don't you remember me, Yakman? I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 63458 I think the spell may have worked. How do you feel, Yakman? |
| 63459 Calm down, Yakman. I don't need you freaking out again. |
| 63460 Your stamina is great, your perseverance admirable. You have survived the horde and completed this challenge. |
| 63461 A truly fearsome foe defeated, brave <CHARNAME>. Your courage is without question. You have completed this challenge. |
| 63462 "Yakman"? That... oh, that was that ridiculous nickname that atrocious little halfling kept calling me. My name is Tamorlin. Wh-where is my party? Where am I? |
| 63463 Your wisdom has allowed you to triumph over the cunning and trickery of the imp! I hope it will be so when you face the Imprisoned One. |
| 63464 This is Watcher's Keep. You've been here alone for quite some time by the looks of it. |
| 63465 Your party is gone. Do you remember nothing? |
| 63466 You've been wandering this maze for years... I just restored your sanity. |
| 63467 Never mind that. I just restored your mind, and I expect payment in kind. |
| 63468 The... Watcher's Keep. That all seems... so long ago. I remember I tried to use the Scepter of Radiance to restore the damage done to the portal, and... and that's it. |
| 63469 Thank you, truly, for restoring my mind to one piece. I... I would have wandered here forever, I think. I must get out and return to my life, whatever is left of it. Is the level above clear? |
| 63470 I... bits and pieces, perhaps. It all seems so long ago. I remember I tried to use the Scepter of Radiance to repair the damage done to the final portal... and then nothing. |
| 63471 Payment? You mean... service? No! I must return to my life! My... my wife and my son! They must still be alive. I must return to them, I beg you! |
| 63472 Yes, I believe it still is. |
| 63473 It might be, I am not sure. |
| 63474 Why do you not join with me until we leave here? |
| 63475 Then I shall go through the entrance portal and leave. I do not know why I didn't before... too afraid, I suppose. I cannot thank you enough, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, for freeing me. Fare you well! |
| 63476 I... I cannot. To join another group, I... I must return to my family, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I truly cannot thank you enough, but I *must* take this chance and go. Good luck, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 63477 Very well then, go if you must. |
| 63478 I won't force you, but I could use your assistance in my group. |
| 63479 You have little choice. Serve me or die, elf. |
| 63480 No! No, you cannot force me! I... I will fight you! |
| 63481 Why, hello there. A prime, is it? I *thought* we'd been drawn into the Prime Material Plane, but I couldn't be sure with all this... interference. |
| 63482 Pardon my atrocious manners. I sometimes forget that you primes are civilized. My name is Aesgareth, and these are my servants and pets. |
| 63483 And just what manner of creature are you? |
| 63484 My name is <CHARNAME>. Ahhh... pleased to meet you too. |
| 63485 You are a demon, fool, and you'll die as every other demon here has! |
| 63486 Well, how rude. If you must know, I am a cambion of a noble house from a place called Curst. Any other questions? |
| 63487 I've met cambions before. Evil demons they are, and you shall be treated as such! |
| 63488 How did you come to be here? |
| 63489 Planetar |
| 63490 Planetar |
| 63491 Perhaps. I am <CHARNAME>, by the way. |
| 63492 Well, now. Nice to meet someone pleasant instead of a host of frustrated fiends. Had to destroy several after we found ourselves here, the rude beasts. |
| 63493 You feel a small part of your own life force being drawn through space and time, then landing with an abrupt thump into a body that is not your own. |
| 63494 But what does one expect from the lower planes, eh? Me, I'll take Sigil any day and avoid the Blood War entirely. But that's neither here nor there. |
| 63495 Ahhh, you primes are such limited creatures. You sound like those fools that spill out of Excelsior once a generation. We can fight, I suppose, but all I asked for was your name. |
| 63496 Never! To arms, fool! |
| 63497 Very well. I am <CHARNAME>. But I'm watching you... |
| 63498 Your true body seems paralyzed, almost frozen in time. Your senses are assailed with a strange double awareness. Part of you remains in front of the altar, but another part of your being is now held within the body of the spirit warrior. |
| 63499 As you wish. Too bad... I was hoping for a half-challenging game of cards before I found my way out of here. Well, off we go... |
| 63500 Well, I imagine I arrived here like any other planar has... drawn through the broken portal on the eastern side of this cavern here. I really would prefer to know whom I'm addressing, though. |
| 63501 Never! You are a demon and shall fall where you stand! |
| 63502 Fine. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 63503 We found ourselves in this place after being... drawn somehow. I imagine the magic of the broken portal on the east side of this cavern has something to do with that. |
| 63504 You instinctively understand that you can use the spirit panel on the altar to control the spirit warrior body you now partially inhabit with simple mental commands. |
| 63505 You look around you with your spirit warrior eyes and find yourself in what is obviously a dungeon. Implements of torture hang from the walls, and there is a pile of bones in the corner of the room. |
| 63506 Wherever this place is, it allows me to gate in things... minor things... but not to open a gate back out. Interesting, no? |
| 63507 Exit to the north. |
| 63508 Exit to the east. |
| 63509 Search the room. |
| 63510 I could gate out of this place, but the magic here is very powerful and specific. Likely I need some manner of key to pierce the shields of this place. Do you know of such a thing? |
| 63511 Fallen Planetar |
| 63512 The torture devices on the wall both compel you and fill you with a sense of revulsion. Other than that, there is nothing of note in this room. |
| 63513 Fallen Planetar |
| 63514 A red-eyed goblin jumps out from the shadows near the east wall. He gnashes his sharp little teeth in anger and anticipation. He bangs his axe against his small shield, issuing a challenge. |
| 63515 If I knew a way out, I wouldn't tell you. |
| 63516 Escape through the west passage. |
| 63519 I might. Why should I let you out? |
| 63520 I believe I do... I can arrange for your exit if you wish. |
| 63522 I could let you out... for a price. |
| 63523 As you flee in terror, the goblin gets a free swing at your unprotected back. |
| 63524 No, I don't have a way out of here. |
| 63526 Attack the goblin. |
| 63527 Well, have it your way, <PRO_RACE>. Should you get it into your heart that you're willing to risk a little... maybe then the two of us can have a bit of excitement, yes? |
| 63528 I wouldn't expect you to let me out of here based on the goodness of your heart... but I'll play you for it. |
| 63529 Oh, no, no. I don't just want to leave. I want some fun before I go back to Sigil... you primes can be decent gamblers sometimes. |
| 63530 I've no wish to purchase my way out of here, at any price. That is so boring. Tell you what... I'll play you for it. |
| 63531 Well, you might have some other things you could put up as stakes... if you're game, that is, for a bit of excitement. |
| 63532 Allow me to explain: I have a certain penchant for games of chance. I enjoy all kinds of gambling, but today I have something with me of particular interest. |
| 63533 The corpse of a goblin lies in the middle of the floor, his axe and shield broken on the floor beside him. |
| 63534 Go through the west exit. |
| 63535 Go through the east exit. |
| 63536 Search the room. |
| 63537 You rifle the corpse of the goblin and conduct a careful search of the entire room. You find nothing of value. |
| 63538 In the center of this room, you see a large treasure chest. There are numerous bones scattered about the floor. |
| 63539 Go through the west exit. |
| 63540 Go through the north exit. |
| 63541 Examine the treasure chest. |
| 63542 Search the room. |
| 63543 Use the wand of missiles. |
| 63544 You find nothing of value. |
| 63545 You cautiously approach the chest. With a swirl of centuries-old dust, the bones on the floor spring to life and assemble themselves into a large skeleton. The undead creature advances. |
| 63546 Escape to the north. |
| 63547 Escape to the west. |
| 63548 Attack the skeleton. |
| 63550 Looking at the shattered bones of the defeated skeleton on the floor of this room, you are certain the guardian will not rise again. You may approach the treasure chest without fear. |
| 63551 Open the chest. |
| 63552 Exit to the north. |
| 63553 Exit to the west. |
| 63554 Search the room. |
| 63555 Sparkling clear water cascades down from a sculpted fountain that dominates this room. |
| 63557 Exit to the north. |
| 63558 Exit to the south. |
| 63559 Exit to the east. |
| 63560 Drink from the fountain. |
| 63561 Search the room. |
| 63562 The water is crystal clear, and it is easy to see there is nothing in the fountain itself. The rest of the room is virtually bare. |
| 63563 The water is cool and refreshingâ€â€for a moment. Then it begins to boil and burn within your mouth, scalding your throat and tongue. You spit the steaming liquid out onto the floor. |
| 63564 Other than the manacles on the wall and the few gnawed bones in the corner, there does not appear to be anything remarkable about this room of the dungeon. |
| 63565 Exit to the north. |
| 63566 Exit to the east. |
| 63567 Exit to the west. |
| 63568 Search the room. |
| 63569 As you flee, the skeleton gets a free swing at your unprotected back with its rusty scimitar. |
| 63570 Inside the chest is a wand of missiles. You pick it up and stick it inside the belt of your spirit warrior form. |
| 63571 Stuffed inside a hollow bone in the corner is a scroll inscribed with an unfamiliar incantation and a picture of a gibberling. You decide to save the scroll for later and place it inside your pack. |
| 63572 As you step inside this room, a growling war dog leaps out from the shadows. |
| 63573 You step over the blood-soaked corpse of the canine who attacked you earlier. The room smells of wet dog. |
| 63574 You find an iron key and a blue potionâ€â€which the spirit warrior immediately quaffs. Fortunately, the potion heals your wounds somewhat, and you tuck the iron key into your belt. |
| 63575 The war dog gets a free shot at you as you turn tail and run. |
| 63576 Escape to the west. |
| 63577 Escape to the south. |
| 63578 Attack the war dog. |
| 63579 Use the wand of missiles. |
| 63580 Comet |
| 63581 Exit to the south. |
| 63582 Exit to the west. |
| 63583 Search the room. |
| 63584 Comet (Any School) Level: 10 Range: 270 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special This spell is a more powerful and specialized version of Meteor Swarm. A huge meteor or comet strikes the earth, damaging all enemies in its path and sending out a powerful shockwave that knocks away all foes in the area of effect. Those knocked down must save vs. Paralysis or be stunned for 3 rounds. The comet itself does 10d10 fire damage with no save. This spell will not harm party members. |
| 63585 The war dog gets a free shot at you as you turn tail and run. |
| 63586 As you enter this well-furnished room, a spectral figure in rotting rags materializes near the far wall. It points an emaciated, crooked finger in your direction and glides towards you. |
| 63587 Escape to the east. |
| 63588 Escape to the south. |
| 63589 Attack the ghost. |
| 63590 Use the wand of missiles. |
| 63591 You turn and flee in terror, but not before the ghost brushes you with its bony finger, numbing your body with the chill touch of the grave. |
| 63592 With the ghost vanquished, you notice the many furnishings of this chamber. A table, desk, bookcases, and several chairs fill the room. There is a small chest in the corner. |
| 63593 You examine each piece of furniture in detail, paying particular attention to the books on the shelf. Your search proves fruitless. |
| 63594 Exit to the south. |
| 63595 Exit to the east. |
| 63596 Search the room. |
| 63597 Open the chest. |
| 63598 Inside the chest is a magical helm. You place it on the head of your spirit warrior body, knowing the extra protection will come in handy. |
| 63599 There is little to distinguish this room from any of the others. There are exits on the east, west, and south walls. |
| 63600 Exit to the south. |
| 63601 Exit to the west. |
| 63603 Exit to the east. |
| 63605 Search the room. |
| 63607 There is nothing worth keeping in this room. |
| 63608 This room is empty save for a small desk of fine oak in the corner. There is nothing on top of the desk, but there is a single small drawer which draws your attention. |
| 63609 Exit to the north. |
| 63610 Exit to the west. |
| 63611 Open the desk drawer. |
| 63612 Search the room. |
| 63613 Apart from the desk itself, there is nothing of interest in the room. |
| 63614 The desk is coated with a powerful contact poison. The spirit warrior takes a great deal of damage due to the effects of the deadly toxin. |
| 63615 Energy Blades |
| 63616 Energy Blades (Any School) Level: 10 Range: Special Duration: 4 turns Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None An energy blade is a discus made of pure energy. The disc gives +10 to THAC0, and when thrown does 1d4+5 missile damage as well as 1d10 additional electrical damage. This spell creates 1 energy disc per level of the caster and sets the caster's attacks to 9 as long as the discs are held. |
| 63617 Energy Blades Created |
| 63618 The desk is coated with a powerful contact poison. Fortunately, the hardy constitution of the spirit warrior's body allows you to shrug off the effects of the deadly toxin. |
| 63619 Inside the desk are a pair of bracers. You strap them on and feel an instant increase in the combat skills of your spirit warrior body. |
| 63620 Energy Blade |
| 63621 Energy Blade |
| 63622 A rabid gibberling rushes from the shadows to attack you, its small body a mere blur of fur and teeth. It moves with such furious speed that retreat is not an option. |
| 63624 Attack the gibberling. |
| 63625 Use the wand of missiles. |
| 63626 Use the scroll with the gibberling picture on it. |
| 63627 With the gibberling disposed of, there is little else of note in the room. |
| 63628 Exit to the south. |
| 63629 Exit to the west. |
| 63630 Search the room. |
| 63631 A search reveals nothing interesting. |
| 63632 You sense an ominous presence beyond the archway to the west, and an iron chest stands against the north wall. |
| 63633 The chest is too heavy for the spirit warrior to lift. The iron construction makes it impossible to break into, and the lid is locked. Without a key, there is no hope of opening this chest. |
| 63634 Exit to the east. |
| 63635 Examine the chest. |
| 63636 Go through the ominous archway. |
| 63637 Search the room. |
| 63638 Examine the chest. |
| 63639 Using the iron key you found earlier, you unlock the lid of the chest. Inside is a blue potion. Instinctively, the body of the spirit warrior seizes the potion and drinks it down, causing your wounds to heal greatly. |
| 63640 You carefully sift through the thick layer of dust on the floor, but apart from the chest and the ornate door, there is nothing else in the room. |
| 63641 As you approach the door, a disembodied voice fills the chamber: " THE CRYPT BEYOND AWAITS! ONCE THE THRESHOLD IS CROSSED, THERE IS NO RETURN!" |
| 63642 Pass through the arch and enter the crypt. |
| 63643 Leave the crypt entrance alone for now. |
| 63644 The smell of ancient death permeates this room. Standing upright against the far wall is a stone crypt with an archway leading into darkness. Carved over the archway is a hand with a single, unblinking eye gazing out from the palmâ€â€the symbol of Helm. |
| 63645 From within the darkness of the crypt comes the sound of slowly shuffling feet. |
| 63646 The sight of a desiccated corpse wrapped tightly in bandages emerging from the crypt comes as no great surprise. You sense this is the final confrontation for the spirit warrior and realize retreat is not an option. |
| 63647 Attack. |
| 63648 Use the wand of missiles. |
| 63649 As the mummy falls, the symbol of Helm erupts with a blinding light. You feel the body of the spirit warrior dissolve, and your life force rushes back to your true body. |
| 63650 As your life force is made whole, the strange force immobilizing your own body releases you. You notice a large key in your possession that was not there before. |
| 63651 You see, I just finished winning a deck of many things from a relative of mine, Duke Rowan. It's a beautiful deck, a variation on the norm by a genasi wizard of some repute. |
| 63652 With the challenge complete, the spirit panel appears to be inactive. |
| 63653 I'm eager to try it. I'll play you for the item that exits this place... or other things, if you've something of value. What do you say, <CHARNAME>? Pique your interest at all? |
| 63654 You possess nothing that interests me. |
| 63655 I might be. I'd have to think about it. |
| 63656 Yes, I think I'd be interested. |
| 63657 No? I have a gem here. Its magic has something to do with the broken portal. I'll wager it for the way out of here. |
| 63658 But you'll probably wish to prepare yourself and so forth. Take as much time as you need. It *is* a deck of many things, after all, and not for the faint of heart. |
| 63659 If you or some companion of yours is ready to play, come and speak to me. Unless, of course, you're too frightened... |
| 63660 Well, here's something to entice you. I have a gem... I believe its magic has something to do with the broken portal behind me. I'll wager it for the way out of this place. |
| 63661 I see we've got some rather unsporting primes to deal with. |
| 63662 So, then, what do you say? Ready to play? |
| 63663 How is your game played? |
| 63664 I'm ready. What are the stakes? |
| 63665 No, I'm not ready to play just yet. |
| 63666 And what's to stop me from just taking whatever you have by force? |
| 63667 Too cowardly to take your chances on the deck of many things? I understand. Be unsporting if you wish. The choice is yours. |
| 63668 erase |
| 63669 No? Very well. Never let it be said that Aesgareth is an impatient half-fiend, eh? Heh heh. |
| 63670 It's rather simple, actually. We'll use the rules established by the renowned match between Tandem the Sensate and Bal'evoreth in Sigil. |
| 63671 As you flee, the skeleton gets a free shot with its rusty scimitar at your unprotected back. |
| 63672 Each of us draws a card from the deck. Whichever of us survives the effect and has the higher card wins the draw. Simple, see? |
| 63673 Well, first you must offer a wager. A tiny portion of your soul, like... hmmm... experience or vitality. Or wager whatever allows me to leave this place. |
| 63674 Keep in mind, though, that I'll only wager the gem for the way out of here. And don't worry... whatever it is, you'll get it back when I go. |
| 63675 Open the chest. |
| 63676 I'm not ready to play just yet, then. |
| 63677 I shall wager you the way out of here. |
| 63678 I will wager some of my experience. |
| 63679 I will wager some of my vitality. |
| 63680 Energy Blades (Any School) Level: Quest Range: Special Duration: 4 turns Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None An energy blade is a discus made of pure energy. The disc gives +10 to THAC0, and when thrown does 1d4+5 missile damage as well as 1d10 additional electrical damage. This spell creates 1 energy disc per level of the caster and sets the caster's attacks to 9 as long as the discs are held. |
| 63681 Excellent. I have access to a Spectral Brand and a scroll of wish, both rather impressive items. And there is the gem as well. What would you wish to play for? |
| 63682 I'm not ready to play just yet. |
| 63683 I will play for the Spectral Brand. |
| 63684 I will play for the scroll of wish. |
| 63685 I will play for the gem. |
| 63687 As you wish. All right, my friend... I shall allow you to draw from the deck first. |
| 63688 Ahhh... "Plague." A low card, and not a good draw, either. Such is the luck of the draw. |
| 63689 "Guile," is it? An interesting draw, although not a high suit. I expect you'll have a fight on your hands in a moment, <GABBER>. |
| 63691 "Strife"? A decent draw, although I wonder what the effect will be. |
| 63692 "High Priestess." An excellent draw. The plate depicts a scene of secrets, however. |
| 63693 Ahhh... the "Emperor"! A very good draw, my friend... and a beneficial card. |
| 63694 Bigby's Clenched Fist |
| 63695 "Strength." An extremely high suit. I wonder, though, whether this represents growing stronger... or a lack of strength? A curse, perhaps? Do you have a means of breaking curses, mortal? |
| 63696 Bigby's Crushing Hand |
| 63697 Wish |
| 63698 I shall spread out the cards for you like so. Choose a card as soon as you are ready. |
| 63699 I shall spread out the cards for you like so. Choose a card as soon as you are ready. |
| 63700 You turn and flee in terror, but not before the ghost brushes you with its bony finger, numbing your body with the chill touch of the grave. |
| 63701 Interesting, most interesting! The genasi was a genius, if you ask me. |
| 63702 Now, of course it is my turn. You may wish to step back... just in case. |
| 63703 Now, of course it is my turn. You may wish to step back... just in case. |
| 63704 "Triumph"? Ahhhh... I sense a fight oncoming. Give me a few moments, my friend. |
| 63705 "Defiance," is it? To defy the gods? I wonder what the effect is? |
| 63706 Ah. The "Empress." An excellent card with a high suit. Luck is with me today! |
| 63707 What's this? "Construct"? Another battle, is it? |
| 63708 So... that is it? A dangerous game, and yet it seems we have survived relatively unscathed, yes? |
| 63709 The card I drew is, however, of a higher suit than yours. I win the draw! |
| 63710 The card you drew is of a higher suit than mine, however. You have won the draw! |
| 63711 You wagered some of your vitality... I shall take my prize now. And no... you may not have it back. Return if you wish to play again. |
| 63712 You wagered some of your experience... I shall take my prize now. And no... you may not have it back. Return, if you wish to play again. |
| 63713 I have won my freedom! The way out of here is mine! You may have the gem regardless... it means nothing to me now. May I have my prize? |
| 63714 So long as I get it back, here you go. |
| 63715 Forget it! No doubt you'll leave me here, trapped! |
| 63716 Through mental commands, you instruct the spirit warrior to approach the desk and open the drawer. |
| 63717 Thank you! For a prime, you aren't so bad. Come, my minions... let us return to the planes before someone actually begins to miss us. Onwards! |
| 63718 *sigh* Then you leave me little choice. What a poor sport you are! |
| 63719 You desire the Spectral Brand, and here it is. If you wish to play again, I'd appreciate a chance to gain my freedom, friend. |
| 63720 You desire the scroll of wish, and here it is. If you wish to play again, I'd appreciate a chance to gain my freedom, friend. |
| 63721 And so the gem is yours, fair and square. It means little enough to me. |
| 63722 Hmm... Alas, this leaves me little choice. I hate being unsportsmanlike, but I also wish to get out of here. My apologies. |
| 63723 I'm willing to play another game, certainly. But this time I will only play for the way out of here... in exchange for the gem. What do you say? |
| 63724 Agreed. |
| 63725 Forget it. I won't take the risk. |
| 63727 I'd say I'd rather kill you here and now and get this over with. |
| 63728 I don't actually have that item with me right now. |
| 63729 I see. Well, I suppose I can wait until you retrieve it. I *would* like to get out of here at some point... and better sooner than later, eh? |
| 63730 I shall spread out the cards for you like so. Choose a card as soon as you are ready. |
| 63731 Now, of course it is my turn. You may wish to step back... just in case. |
| 63732 Oho! It is the "Wheel," one of the highest suits in the deck! Most fortuitous! |
| 63733 The gambling cambion I have encountered a cambion and his retinue inside of the maze. This one seems friendly enough and is mostly interested in gaming with me for a chance at his freedom from this place. In return for me putting up the holy symbol as stakes, he is willing to offer me a gem he has found... all based off of draws from a deck of many things. |
| 63734 The gambling cambion The cambion with an urge to play games of chance with his deck of many things wasn't about to let me walk out of here with Helm's holy symbol... his key to freedom. The matter ended in violence, as it usually does... a bad gamble on his part. |
| 63735 The gambling cambion A cambion with a penchant for playing games of chance with his deck of many things won his freedom from me by the luck of the draw. He not only returned the holy symbol as promised, but also gave me a gem he had found here that was now worthless to him. |
| 63736 The Blood War I have agreed to do a job for a tanar'ri balor named Tahazzar to find a baatezu pit fiend named Ka'rashur elsewhere in this maze and to destroy it... and then return to Tahazzar with its heart. He has promised me not only a material reward but also the goodwill of the tanar'ri. |
| 63737 The Blood War I have agreed to do a job for a baatezu pit fiend named Ka'rashur to find a tanar'ri balor named Tahazzar elsewhere in this maze and to destroy it... and then return to Ka'rashur with its heart. He has promised me not only a material reward but also the goodwill of the baatezu. |
| 63738 The Blood War I have destroyed a tanar'ri balor named Tahazzar and given its heart to a pit fiend, Ka'rashur, as requested. Surprisingly, the pit fiend seems to have lived up to its part of the bargain. |
| 63739 The Blood War I have destroyed a baatezu pit fiend named Ka'rashur and given its heart to a balor, Tahazzar, as requested. Surprisingly, the demon seems to have lived up to its part of the bargain. |

| 63750 Built into the floor is a strange machine with four large, colored buttons. An inscription reads, "Those who serve must be worthy in mind, heart, and spirit. Only the worthy may unlock the final seal." A scroll lies beside the inscription. |
| 63751 In front of the machine are four colored containers which correspond to the colored buttonsâ€â€one red, one blue, one green, and one purple. What do you wish to do now? |
| 63752 Ready for almost anything, you press the red button. |
| 63753 With a deep breath of anticipation, you reach out and press the blue button. |
| 63754 You press the green button, praying you have made the right choice. |
| 63755 Hoping for the best, you press the purple button. |
| 63756 This time, nothing happens when you press the button. |

| 63760 Push the purple button. |
| 63761 Leave the machine for now. |

| 63770 The deck seems to vibrate in expectation as you remove it from your pack. The immediate area grows warmer for a moment, magical energy invisibly radiating from the metal plaques. |
| 63771 Draw one of the cards. |
| 63772 Put the deck away for now. |
| 63773 You replace the deck of many things in your pack, relaxing as the air of suspense seems to dissipate. |
| 63774 Running your fingers along the edge of the metallic plaques, you finally make a decision and remove your chosen card from the deck... |
| 63775 Draw one of the cards. |
| 63776 Draw one of the cards. |
| 63777 Draw one of the cards. |
| 63778 Running your fingers along the edge of the metallic plaques, you finally make a decision and remove your chosen card from the deck... |
| 63779 Running your fingers along the edge of the metallic plaques, you finally make a decision and remove your chosen card from the deck... |
| 63780 Running your fingers along the edge of the metallic plaques, you finally make a decision and remove your chosen card from the deck... |
| 63781 The plaque depicts a scene filled with black runes and what appears to be a man screaming in terror inside of a cage. It is clearly labeled "DONJON." |
| 63782 A striking scene of a bolt of blue lightning striking and destroying a tall tower covers the plaque. From the tower, a horrified man falls to his death. The card is clearly labeled "RUIN." |
| 63783 The visage of a medusa upon this card seems almost alive, her gaze boring into you as her snakes writhe. The card is labeled "EURYALE." |
| 63784 The card's depiction of fire seems almost to flicker and writhe, laced with anger, jealousy, and envy. Written in charcoal black is the card's title: "FLAMES." |
| 63785 The plaque depicts a clear scene of a smiling man holding a diamond up to the light. The diamond is vividly real and seems to glitter with its own magic. The card is labeled "GEM." |
| 63786 The plaque depicts a strange scene of a smiling man hung upside down by one foot. Oddly, the card gives you a good feeling, almost a need to laugh. It is labeled "JESTER." |
| 63787 The entire card is black as midnight, with a depth that seems to suddenly reach out for you. You cannot see the word anywhere upon it, but you know the card's name... "VOID." |
| 63788 A single man is depicted on the card, seemingly young and intelligent. One hand points up at the sky, the other to the earth, an old sign for transformation. The card is ominously labeled "MAGICIAN." |
| 63789 The symbol of Helm carved into the floor appears to be some manner of seal, preventing exit or entry. There are three large pedestals with keyholes in them surrounding it. |

| 63794 Amidst the runes on the card, a warrior within a black suit of plate armor stares malevolently out at you. The card is labeled "KNIGHT." |
| 63795 The card is blood red, practically dripping with venom, and shows a smiling man stabbing another in the back with a sharp blade. The card is labeled "ROGUE." |
| 63796 The card is bright and immediately makes you smile, depicting a cherubic boy atop a white horse with the sun shining brilliantly in the sky behind them. The card is clearly labeled "SUN." |
| 63797 The card has a hushed sense about it, showing a wizened old man in a cowl. His eyes lock onto yours, and you know immediately that he possesses great secrets. The card is labeled "VIZIER." |
| 63798 The card depicts a great holy man in rich robes, with the penitent bowing before him. In his hands, he holds aloft a great golden key. The card is labeled "KEY." |
| 63799 The final lock has been opened. The wheel can now be turned to open the seal. |
| 63800 A scene of a young woman emerging from a still pond greets you, the woman smiling gently and the night sky so real and vast it startles you. The card is labeled "STAR." |
| 63801 Globe of Blades |
| 63802 Globe of Blades (Evocation) Level: Quest Sphere: Guardian, Creation Range: 0 Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: Special The priest employs this spell to set up a globe of razor-sharp blades. These whirl and flash around the caster, creating a dangerous barrier. Any creature attempting to pass through the blade barrier suffers 10d10 points of damage. Creatures within the area of the barrier when it is invoked are entitled to a Saving Throw vs. Spell at -2. If this is successful, the blades are avoided and no damage is suffered. The barrier remains for 1 turn. |
| 63803 A picture of a bone-white skull immediately greets you. As if animate, the skull grins and immediately fills you with fear. The card is labeled "SKULL." |
| 63804 The card shows an achingly beautiful woman half-hidden by a lantern held in front of her as she moves through the darkness. The night sky behind her is bright and vividly real. A label below reads "MOON." |
| 63805 The card shows a wicked, smiling woman with bright eyes who reaches out to you with a withered hand anointed with sharp, gleaming nails. It is labeled "TALONS." |
| 63806 The card's scene shows a young man admiring the sky as he obliviously walks towards a sharp precipice. The card is labeled "FOOL." |
| 63807 You are startled as the picture of a blazing, fiery rock seems to leap out at you from the card, its golden trail leading deep within the black background. The card is labeled "COMET." |
| 63808 Three women hold a single thread between them, all looking at you askance. One is young and beautiful, another middle-aged and matronly, the third a crone. The card is labeled "ERINYES." |
| 63809 The card depicts a man seated upon an iron throne, his countenance commanding and regal both. For a moment, you are sure the figure nods to you solemnly. The card is labeled "THRONE." |
| 63810 The card shows an old man with flaming-red hair and fiery eyes staring out at you. In his hands, he holds a scale, the small silver bowls evenly balanced. The card is clearly labeled "BALANCE." |
| 63811 Almost immediately, you realize that the man is the creator of the deck. The image both smiles slightly and nods to you, tapping the scale in his withered hands. |
| 63812 What remains of the deck of many things begins to fade suddenly... and within the space of a moment, it is gone forever. |
| 63813 Open the portal to the temple's lower levels It seems the way to get down to the next level is by performing some type of ritual. Since this is a temple, I imagine the altar would have something to do with this. |
| 63814 Cold, so very cold... |
| 63815 Open the portal to the temple's lower levels The ghost of the temple's archivist suggested I seek out the forgetful old priestâ€â€though I doubt he's even still alive. |
| 63816 Open the portal to the temple's lower levels Before I can complete the ritual which will open the passage to the next level, I must somehow learn the proper chapter and verse which must be read from the ritual book. |
| 63817 You may choose <number> abilities for your character. |
| 63818 Abilities |
| 63819 Open the portal to the temple's lower levels Successfully performing the ritual activated the mirror portal in the center of the temple. I can now descend at my own convenience. |
| 63820 Implosion |
| 63821 Implosion (Evocation) Level: Quest Range: 40 ft. Duration: 2 rounds Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Special This spell creates a rift in the earth beneath the target which implodes and closes in upon itself, crushing and burning the target and holding it for 1 round. The spell does 10d10 fire damage and 10d10 blunt damage. The victim can save vs. Spell for half. |
| 63822 Gather the four scepter keys I have entered into a bargain with a chromatic demon, though I had little choice. I need to gather the four scepter keys to unlock his elemental cage. Only then will he give me access to the level below. |
| 63823 Gather the four scepter keys As I feared, the chromatic demon attacked me as soon as I released it from its cage. A high price to pay, but necessary if I wish to continue into the deeper depths of the dungeon. |
| 63824 Escaping Carston's level Much as I suspected, the key to getting off of this level is the Machine of Lum the Mad. I assume that by manipulating the levers, dials, and buttons I can figure out a way to activate the gate to the next level. But before I can experiment with the infernal machine, I'll have to get through that glass bubble of Carston's. |
| 63825 Escaping Carston's level Although the cost was great, I have managed to use the diabolical Machine of Lum the Mad to open the gate to the next level of the dungeon. |
| 63826 The scroll seems to have been written by a scholar who was researching the machine's purpose. You skim down to the conclusion: |
| 63827 Unlocking the final seal I will have to prove myself worthy in mind, heart, and spirit before I can unlock the final seal, which guards the stairs to the next level of the dungeon. |
| 63828 Summon Deva |
| 63829 Summon Deva (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: Quest Range: 120 ft. Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell opens a celestial gate and calls forth an angelic deva to fight at the caster's side until the spell expires or the deva's earthly avatar is slain. |
| 63830 Summon Fallen Deva |
| 63831 Summon Fallen Deva (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: Quest Range: 120 ft. Duration: 4 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 5 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell opens an abyssal gate and calls forth a demonic deva to fight at the caster's side until the spell expires or the deva's earthly avatar is slain. |
| 63832 Unlocking the final seal I have solved the puzzle of the colored globes and proved myself worthy in mind. However, I suspect I must possess all three keysâ€â€heart, mind, and spiritâ€â€before the final seal can be unlocked. |
| 63833 Unlocking the final seal By running the gauntlet, I have proven my perseverance, my courage, and the wisdom of my heart. However, I suspect I must possess all three keysâ€â€heart, mind, and spiritâ€â€before the final seal can be unlocked. |
| 63834 Atop this altar is a strange panel with directional arrows and a picture of a skull. There is also an inscription: |
| 63835 "The final seal may be unlocked only by one worthy in spirit, mind, and heart. The Eternal Warrior gave his light that another might prove the worth of their spirit." |
| 63836 Unlocking the final seal I have completed the challenge of the Eternal Warrior and have proven the worth of my spirit. However, I suspect I must possess all three keysâ€â€heart, mind, and spiritâ€â€before the final seal can be unlocked. |
| 63837 Unlocking the final seal With the heart, mind, and spirit, keys I have unlocked the final seal. The path to the crypt of the Imprisoned One is now open. |

This shield not only grants the user 90% Fire Resistance and an AC bonus of 4, but also protects <PRO_HIMHER> from attacks made within a 5-ft. radius. An opponent that hits the caster with any weapons or spells within this radius suffers 2d10+2 fire damage. In addition, the intense heat protects the caster from all non-magical weapons, melee or missile. |

| 63956 So... I have found you at last. It was an effort to track you down, <CHARNAME>, in these woods. Too many old wards for my liking... but here you are. |
| 63957 I suppose you are some bounty hunter after Bhaalspawn? |
| 63958 So you've found me. What do you want? |
| 63959 And just who are you? |
| 63969 All that you need to know is that I've been given the pleasure of ending your life. I may yet mount your head on the wall with all the other Bhaalspawn I've killed... I haven't decided. |
| 63970 I've no argument with you, whoever you are! |
| 63971 You can try, if you like. I am no ordinary Bhaalspawn. |
| 63972 You hunt Bhaalspawn?! Why?! |
| 63977 No? I rather think the source of our disagreement is obvious. I am Bhaalspawn... as are you. |
| 63978 I know. Neither am I. |
| 63979 Isn't it obvious? I am Bhaalspawn myself, dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 63981 The time of Alaundo's prophecy has come, <CHARNAME>. These rhyming ghosts here should have told you that much. Great things are afoot... and your contribution will be your death. |
| 63982 It has already been decided, <CHARNAME>. I am Illasera the Quick, child of Bhaal, and I have been chosen to perform this deed. You cannot resist us. |
| 63983 Not all of us have been wandering Faerûn like witless cattle, like you and pathetic Imoen and so many others of Bhaal's blood. Some of us have far greater aspirations. |
| 63984 Enough talk, then! Let's see how tough you are! |
| 63985 So others have said. They're dead now. |
| 63986 I can... and you are a fool to think otherwise. |
| 63987 We shall see, <CHARNAME>. |

| 63996 We demand to see Gromnirâ€â€take us to Il-Khan! |
| 63997 Our food is almost goneâ€â€our children cry out in hunger! Your master must hear our pleas! |
| 63998 No, Melissan! We will not be bullied this time! We will stay right here until they take us to Gromnir. |
| 63999 It is too dark to clearly make out the statue before you. However, looking at it leaves you with the feeling that you are being watched. |
| 64000 The general is too busy to meet with the likes of these commoners. Move along and no one gets hurt. |
| 64001 Avoid Death |
| 64002 The plight of peasants is not Gromnir Il-Khan's concern. Stand aside, townsfolk! |
| 64003 Our orders are clearâ€â€move these peasants along or we'll move them along ourselves! |
| 64004 If you know what's good for you, you'll all head back to your homes. |
| 64005 Clear these gatesâ€â€you won't get another warning! |
| 64006 I told you to clear these gates! You brought this on yourselves! |
| 64007 These people represent the concerns of the entire town. Please, good soldiers, hear their case. |
| 64008 Threats are not the answer here. Everyone, stay calm and we can work together to find a solution. |
| 64009 No one do anything rash. Uh, perhaps if we return later, when it is more convenient for Gromnir Il-Khan to see us... |
| 64010 NO! Put down your weapons! This is not necessary! |
| 64011 There's just no reasoning with you peopleâ€â€you only understand the edge of a sword! |
| 64012 What's this? A child of Bhaal appears from nowhere? Impossible! Unless... |
| 64013 Intruders! Spies! The walls have been breached! |
| 64014 Slay the invaders! Attack! |
| 64015 No! Hold your weapons! These might be allies, come to help! |

| 64019 I greet you, god-child, you who are of divine blood. I have awaited you. |
| 64020 And just who are you? |
| 64021 Where am I? Am I dreaming? |
| 64022 Why have you brought me here? Answer or feel my wrath! |
| 64023 I have existed since the first strand of fate was woven, a servant of the paths and the gods. I have watched your own path most carefully. |
| 64024 How would you define a dream? If as a fleeting path without true substance... then this is no dream. I have brought you to this place, and it is real. |
| 64025 Who are you? |
| 64026 Why did you bring me here? |
| 64027 Our own servant, who was the mortal Alaundo, spake the truths that became prophecy. It tells of your coming and of all the others who are the progeny of Bhaal. |
| 64028 The spark of the divine rests within all of Bhaal's children, and the time for their joining is nigh. I am here to aid you, god-child. |
| 64029 Aid me? How? |

| 64034 How do I know this isn't some sort of trick?! |
| 64035 The progeny of Bhaal are many... and now they are quickly being extinguished, their spark returning to its source. An Event unfolds of divine significance, god-child. |
| 64036 You are central to this Event. Many are the strings of fate that start or pass through you. The end I cannot see. I must shepherd you through this time as best I can. |
| 64037 What can you do to help me? |
| 64038 What is this place? |
| 64039 How do I know this isn't some sort of trick?! |
| 64040 I cannot interfere. I can only prepare you, god-child... aid in your education, you who are most unready to assume your destiny. |
| 64041 What do you mean by that? |
| 64043 You try to enter the temple, but are pushed back by some invisible force. It appears that you require something in order to pass. |

| 64054 I am not here to fool or harm you, god-child. I may only teach, and you are free to consider my words and deem them false if you wish. There is no consequence. |
| 64055 So just how can you help me, exactly? |
| 64056 Tell me what you know of the prophecy. |
| 64057 Tell me what this place is. |
| 64058 I mean only that you are unready for the possibilities that await you. Your mortal mind does not readily comprehend the power in your blood. |
| 64059 When you were last in your sire's realm, god-child, it was altered by your own consciousness without you even forming the intent to do so. You are not ready for the power. |
| 64060 You must be ready. It is your presence which determines the outcome of the prophecy... although even I cannot see it yet. When the time comes, you will be ready... I will make certain. |

| 64067 Power comes with knowledge, god-child. It shall come to you in time, as your destiny unfolds. |
| 64068 I shall see you soon. Until then, hold your heart close and know that you are not alone. |
| 64069 You would wish to stumble about, unknowing and blind? Even if this is so, you have no choice in the matter. |
| 64070 Your demand means little to me. Willing or not, you have no choice in my presence, just as you have no choice in your destiny. |

History of the Imprisoned One: He also serves who stands and waits and watches carefully. Such is the lesson of the Great Guard, Helm of the Unsleeping Eyes. Let the events of this forgotten temple serve as an example to all who would follow the Vigilant One. Beneath this hallowed earth, the avatar of the Watcher confronted great evil, a Prince of the Underplanes. Through steadfast perseverance, Helm, Guardian of the Gods, fulfilled his sacred duty and bound the creature in the bowels of the temple that it might walk the world no more. Speak not the beast's name, ye Knights of the Vigil, but guard this place. Protect the wards which seal the Imprisoned One within, and remain ever watchful. Never betray your trustâ€â€such is the will of Helm. |

| 64161 Bell Jar |
| 64162 Then may Waukeen watch over you, my <BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 64163 I would like to see your services. |
| 64165 Torch |
| 64166 Can you tell me anything about Gromnir Il-Khan? |
| 64167 Torch |
| 64168 Certainly, my <BROTHERSISTER>. We do not have much, due to this siege, but I will offer whatever aid I can. |
| 64169 What do you know about the Lady Melissan? |
| 64171 Is there still more I may do to aid you, <BROTHERSISTER>? |
| 64172 I would like to see your services. |
| 64174 Can you tell me anything about Gromnir Il-Khan? |
| 64175 What do you know about a woman named Melissan? |
| 64176 Do you know a way I might get into the castle and speak to Gromnir? |
| 64177 Gromnir is a tormented man, afflicted in both spirit and mind. The taint of Bhaal poisons his blood and tortures his soul. I would feel more pity for him, but he has been... very cruel. |
| 64178 Gromnir trusts no one and has locked himself away in the palace to await the inevitable end of this siege, though I fear that he will first bring destruction to us all. |
| 64180 A virtuous woman, a truly kind and compassionate lady. She brought the Bhaalspawn to Saradush, to find them sanctuary within its walls. It is not her fault that Gromnir took advantage of our hospitality... she meant well. |
| 64181 Alas, this siege has thwarted her noble efforts. When the walls fall, as they surely must, all the Bhaalspawn will be slaughtered, and her efforts to save them will be for naught. |
| 64182 Pyrgam Aleson at your service. I hope we have what you need. A stiff drink, perhaps? Dark times call for dark ale, am I right my <LADYLORD>? |
| 64183 I'd like to see what services you have. |
| 64184 Not too many friendly faces in this town, are there? |
| 64185 Is there any way to get out of this town, or are we all trapped here? |
| 64186 What can you tell me about Gromnir Il-Khan? |
| 64187 Do you know anything about a woman named Melissan? |
| 64188 Do you know any way I might get inside the castle to speak to Gromnir? |
| 64189 Excellent! Please see the bartender for a list of our services and items for sale. |
| 64190 Saradush was a nice place not too long ago. Then the Bhaalspawn started showing up, Gromnir took over, and now we're under siege. Can't blame folks if they've taken a dislike to strangers. |
| 64191 Do you think I'd still be here running my business if I knew a way out? Not even the mages can escape this place, or so I've heard. |
| 64192 Bah! I should spit in disgust every time I hear his name, but he's not worth the effort. Gromnir Il-Khan's nothing but a bullyâ€â€a cruel, cowardly little despot. |
| 64193 It was bad enough around here with all these refugees showing up these past few months. But at least they didn't bother nobody. Gromnir's a different story. |
| 64194 First, his troops ran off Count Santele. Then they started terrorizing the townsfolk. Next thing we know, we're caught between a tyrant we hate and an army outside our walls that wants to kill us all just to get at him! |
| 64195 Melissan? Wish I'd never heard her name. Nothing against her as a person, you understand. She's a fine woman, always looking to help out the less fortunate. |
| 64196 But that's the problem, see? She brought these Bhaalspawn to Saradush to try and protect 'em, and now the whole town is doomed. Good intentions, bad results. |
| 64197 Still, life and business go on. For a while. All a man can do is carry on and hope for the best, that's my philosophy. Anything else I can help you with? |
| 64198 Suit yourself. Just rememberâ€â€most folk don't take kindly to outsiders around here. But me... I tend to take a more philosophical view. Come back if you change your mind. |
| 64199 I'd like to see what services you have. |
| 64200 Not too many friendly faces in this town, are there? |
| 64201 Is there any way to get out of this town, or are we all trapped here? |
| 64202 What can you tell me about Gromnir Il-Khan? |
| 64203 Do you know anything about a woman named Melissan? |
| 64204 I thought people in town would be a little more appreciative after I got rid of Gromnir. |

| 64219 Ah, the famous liberators of our town, the slayers of the tyrant Gromnir. What can I do for you, my heroic <LADYLORD>? |
| 64220 No disrespect intended I assure you, my <LADYLORD>. You just have to understand that things haven't changed much for us here in town, even with Gromnir gone. |
| 64221 I'd like to see what services you have. |
| 64222 You sound a little sarcastic and bitter when you say that. |
| 64223 I thought people in town would be a little more appreciative after I got rid of Gromnir. |
| 64224 Do you know any way to get out of this town, or are we trapped here? |
| 64225 Do you know anything about Melissan? |
| 64226 Nothing for me right now. I'll be going. |
| 64227 Do you know any way I might get into the castle to speak with Gromnir? |
| 64228 The children of Bhaal still walk our streets, and there's an army outside our walls willing to kill us all just to get at them. Gromnir may be dead, but nothing has really changed for us. |
| 64229 You... you're one of them, aren't you? A B-b-bhaalspawn! Don't hurt me, please! |
| 64230 I'm not looking for trouble, my <LADYLORD>. What do you wish of me? |
| 64231 Where can I go to find a drink around here? |
| 64232 Can you tell me anything about Gromnir? |
| 64233 What do you know about the Lady Melissan? |
| 64234 Who are you? |
| 64235 Pyrgam Aleson at the Tankard Tree will serve you, my <LADYLORD>. It has a fair stock, even in these scarce times. I wouldn't mind a swig or two myself right about now. |
| 64236 You did indeed... although that was no fault of mine. It was you that summoned me then, even if the words were my own. I have done nothing but attempt to reform myself since. |
| 64237 Gromnir? I... I want no trouble with Gromnir and his soldiers. I have nothing to say about them. |
| 64238 Melissan? Our town is... honored... to serve as a haven for the Lady and her Bhaalspawn refugees. This siege is... we don't blame her for this. At least, I don't, truly. She's an all right sort, even if none of us knows where she's from. |
| 64239 I? I did not bring you here, fool. It has taken me long enough to re-form since you last summoned me. You do remember killing me, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, yes? |
| 64241 No one of importance, I assure you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. There is no need for a child of Bhaal to take an interest in me. I am just a simple man; all I want is to be left alone. |
| 64242 If... if that is all, I must go. Please excuse me. I don't want any trouble. |
| 64243 The temple will serve you, I'm sure. None are turned away from their gates. |
| 64246 Yaga-Shura's army will kill us allâ€â€we're doomed! With General Il-Khan alive, we at least had a chance to fight! |
| 64247 As you will recall, it is your will that shapes our father's realm... whether you are aware of what you do or not. I myself am nothing now but the shadow you see before you. |
| 64248 Hmphâ€â€I don't recognize you. You must be one of them Bhaal children. Figured you'd be inside the castle with Gromnir and the others. |
| 64249 Yes, I should be in the castle. Do you know how I can get in? |
| 64250 Can you tell me anything about Gromnir? |
| 64251 What do you know about the Lady Melissan? |
| 64252 Are you saying that I am in Hell once again? |
| 64253 Where would I find somewhere to rest and restock my supplies? |
| 64254 Who are you? |
| 64255 Oh, of course! General Gromnir always makes a point of coming to me personal-like and sharing his secrets! |
| 64256 Brought you Bhaalspawn types and those refugees to our town and brought a heap o' trouble right behind! Bloody do-gooder should've minded her own businessâ€â€we'd all be better off! |
| 64257 You think just 'cause you're one of them Bhaalspawn I'm here to be your servant? Open your eyes and use your feetâ€â€that'll get you where you want to go! |
| 64258 None of your business, Bhaalspawn. I ain't scared of you like the rest, and my name ain't yours for the askin'! |
| 64260 Now shove off, ye bloody Bhaal runt. I don't want me friends to see me talking to the likes of you. |
| 64262 That doesn't explain what you're doing here. |
| 64263 Well, shadow or not, I'll destroy you again! |
| 64264 Please help us! Gromnir's men terrorize us in the streets, and I fear the army outside will soon burn Saradush to the ground. |
| 64265 You have saved us from the tyrant Gromnir. Please don't abandon us now! The army of Yaga-Shura will burn Saradush to the ground if you don't save us! |
| 64266 So, Gromnir's dead, and you're in charge now, eh? Got any bright ideas on how to stop that army outside those walls? Didn't think so. |
| 64267 The least you could do is show me a little gratitude for getting rid of Gromnir! |
| 64268 You better start treating me with a little respectâ€â€I'm the only hope this town has left! |
| 64269 I think you need to learn a little lesson about manners, wench! |
| 64270 Ye're just like that other Bhaalspawnâ€â€a bully pushin' us good folk around, wantin' us to fawn all over ye! I ain't got nothin' more to say to you! |
| 64271 Gromnir's locked himself up in that castle and left us out here to rot! That's Bhaalspawn gratitude for ye. |
| 64272 The walls of our city can't keep that giant's army out much longer. Waukeen save us when they give way. |
| 64273 Look at our town... refugees everywhere, Gromnir's men wreaking havoc in the streets. Damn that general! |
| 64274 Even with Gromnir dead, you Bhaalspawn continue to torment us! I have nothing of value; please just let me be... leave us all alone! |
| 64275 Are you a Bhaalspawn? You don't look so scary to me. |
| 64276 Gromnir has a big army. When I grow up, I want a big army. |
| 64277 I want to go play in the fields, but Momma won't let me go outside the walls. |
| 64278 Shush! Momma says I'm not to talk to strangers. |
| 64279 Gromnir's mean. My momma said so. |
| 64280 My momma says I should run away if strangers talk to me. |
| 64281 You... you do not know where you are, do you? You did not come here on purpose? |
| 64282 Ha ha! What a bitter irony this is! You who stumble about nearly blind to your true power continue to survive while I, Sarevok, am reduced to this. Bah! Very well, <CHARNAME>... I shall tell you where you are. |
| 64283 I have no quarrel with you, <CHARNAME>. I am an ally to all the children of Bhaal, as you will learn! I will return when you are ready to see reason. |
| 64284 Greetings, <CHARNAME>. I am Melissanâ€â€a friend. Welcome to Saradush. I regret your first encounter in this town was so... bloody. |
| 64285 Vorpal Hit |
| 64286 I wish to make a deal, naturally. I have little to lose, dear "<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>"... and plenty to gain. As do you. And I have waited in your home a considerable time to parley with you. |
| 64287 How do you know my name? |
| 64288 My home? What are you talking about? |
| 64289 Everywhere I go, people try to kill me. How do I know I can trust you? |
| 64290 Forget it, Sarevok. I've no intention of dealing with you. |
| 64291 I'm used to bloody encounters. I kind of enjoy them. |
| 64293 You cannot destroy me, <CHARNAME>, as I am nothing but a shade. And I wager you don't possess the power to force me to leave your home. |
| 64294 What do you mean, "home"? I don't live here! |
| 64295 I want some answers, and I want them now! |
| 64296 You are within our father's abyssal realm, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. That plane once ruled by Bhaal and now shaped by the taint present in your soul... but no longer present in mine. You have been here before. |
| 64298 Wild surge averted due to Chaos Shield. |
| 64299 This is a... a cocoon, of sorts. A miniature version of our father's larger realm, sort of a plane-within-a-plane. I assumed your mind formed it to protect you from the power of this place. Rather ingenious, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>... I wouldn't have thought you'd had it in you. |
| 64300 Regardless, I spotted it forming and guessed at its purpose. So I came here and waited, knowing that eventually you would come... and that then we could discuss my... deal. |
| 64301 I have watched the events of your life quite closely, <CHARNAME>, as I do with all the progeny of the Lord of Murder. I have seen many of your kin slain over these past months. |
| 64302 I do not know how you came to be here, <CHARNAME>, but I fear you are now trapped here in Saradush like the rest of us. |
| 64303 Beyond the walls of Saradush awaits the army of Yaga-Shura. They have laid siege to this town, seeking the death of all those here who share your tainted blood. |
| 64304 Yaga-Shura is a Bhaalspawn, <CHARNAME>â€â€perhaps as powerful as you yourself. He and his army will not rest until every child of Bhaal within these walls lies dead. |
| 64305 Until you prove yourself, there are some secrets I must keep to guarantee the safety of the people I have sworn to protect. If you wish to save yourself from Yaga-Shura, you will aid me regardless. |
| 64306 What kind of deal? What could *you* want? |
| 64307 Tell me how to get out of here... that's all I want to know. |
| 64311 Meander about, then. Search for your way out, if you must. You'll be back. |
| 64313 Alu-Fiend |
| 64314 Alu-Fiend |
| 64315 There is little hope of escape from this besieged town. In addition to the army surrounding us, dark magic prevents us from even sending a message beyond the walls. |
| 64316 First, we must deal with General Gromnirâ€â€the man who now runs the city of Saradush. |
| 64318 Gromnir is also a child of Bhaal and was once a powerful general. I brought him and his loyal men here to protect Saradush and the many Bhaalspawn gathered here seeking sanctuary. |

When Nahal's Reckless Dweomer is cast, the bonus from Improved Chaos Shield stacks with the Wild Mage's level bonus. |
| 64327 But Gromnir is mad. He has barricaded himself in the castle throne room, and his troops run amok through the town with no regard for the lives and rights of the citizens of Saradush. |
| 64328 The actions of Gromnir and his soldiers have caused dissension within the town and made it almost impossible for the loyal Saradush militia to defend the walls. We must first defeat the enemy within before we can end this siege. |
| 64329 And where would you go? This is not a building, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, this is the *entire* plane. And unless you've acquired plane-traveling abilities since last we met, there is only one way out of here. |
| 64331 You must find a way to get inside the castle to Gromnir. Perhaps you can reason with him... but I fear he is beyond reason. I am afraid you will have to kill the general to give Saradush any hope of surviving the siege. |
| 64332 I may be difficult to find after this, <CHARNAME>. The town suffers, and my hours are spent doing what I can for the people. If you have another question, I suggest you ask it now. |
| 64333 is Casting |
| 64334 is Attacking |
| 64335 The siege could last a few days or a few months. Act quickly, <CHARNAME>, and may fortune shine on your mission. |
| 64336 I realize your life has been one of bloodshed and betrayals. I can offer you no guarantees. I only offer the truth and hope you will see it is in your own best interest to aid me. |
| 64337 I know what it is, but you do not. Nor, I suspect, do you have the time or patience to learn on your own. Accept my proposal, <CHARNAME>, and I will tell you. |
| 64338 Such is the legacy of your father; you have learned to expect such treatment from all those you meet. But heed my words, <CHARNAME>, or even your remarkable skills may not save you this time. |
| 64339 Tell me your proposal, then. What do you want? |
| 64340 Your demand is not unreasonable, <CHARNAME>. You are entitled to an explanation. I only pray you see fit to aid us once you have heard my words. |
| 64341 Forget it. I will find my own way out. |
| 64342 Trapped? I have yet to find the prison that can hold me! |
| 64343 Trapped? By who? |
| 64344 I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's my job to get everyone out of this "trap." |
| 64346 Is there any hope of stopping this slaughter? |
| 64347 If I help you, what do I get out of all this? |
| 64359 Such a betrayal is worthy of death! |
| 64360 I should break down the castle walls and slay this Gromnir for his cowardice! |
| 64361 I like this Gromnir's style! |
| 64362 For the sake of the town, I will try to reason with this mad general. |
| 64363 I'll kill this Gromnir... but only because you promised to tell me about my destiny afterwards. |
| 64367 I like to know who my enemies areâ€â€could you tell me more about Yaga-Shura? |
| 64368 Is there somewhere I can go to get provisions and supplies? |
| 64369 Can you offer any tips on getting into Gromnir's castle? |
| 64370 I have no more questions, Melissan. The fate of Saradush is on my shoulders, and I shall not falter! |
| 64371 No more questions. I'll help since it means getting valuable information from you. |
| 64372 One last thing... any idea how long we have until the walls are breached? |
| 64373 How can I stop the slaughter of Saradush? |
| 64376 Your own life is tied to the fate of Saradush, <CHARNAME>. If you do not help us now, the army of Yaga-Shura will destroy everyone within this townâ€â€including you. |
| 64377 Why should I be so afraid of this Yaga-Shura? |
| 64378 I am a child of Bhaal! I fear nothing! |
| 64379 Why is Yaga-Shura so intent on destroying the Bhaalspawn? |
| 64385 What do you think I would want, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>? I wish to exist... I wish to be alive again. You can do that. |
| 64386 Short Sword of Mask +4 |
| 64387 Short Sword of Mask +5 |
| 64388 The smallest fraction of your soul, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>... given freely, with the taint of our dead father within it. That would recreate my flesh, restore my mortality... Sarevok would live again! |
| 64389 And what would I be getting in return for this? |
| 64390 Understandably, most people will resent the presence of yet another Bhaalspawn in Saradush. But the innkeeper at the Tankard Tree is more tolerant than most, and the temple of Waukeen will turn no one away. |
| 64392 I have some more questions to ask you. |
| 64393 I killed you once before... what makes you think I would want to return you to life? |
| 64394 Angurvadal +4 |
| 64395 I will do what I can to help. How long until the walls of Saradush fall? |
| 64398 I can offer little advice in this matter. Gromnir's own mages make approaching the gates hopeless... you will have to find another way in. I just pray one exists. |
| 64399 I do not come to the table empty-handed, <CHARNAME>. You think me a fool? You are stronger than me... I do not contest that. But I can help you. And that has its price. |
| 64400 I have some more questions to ask you. |
| 64401 I will do what I can to help. How long until the walls of Saradush fall? |
| 64403 Do you know how I can get inside Gromnir's castle? |
| 64405 And just how is it that you can help me? |
| 64407 There is the knowledge of how to leave this plane of yours, <CHARNAME>. That is one thing I can give you, although I did not know that when I came here. |
| 64408 Purifier +4 |
| 64409 No, what I offer you is knowledge that is much more relevant. Something that dates back to my mortal days when I was gaining power within the Iron Throne. Something that you will find... most intriguing. |
| 64410 Why is Yaga-Shura killing all the other Bhaalspawn? |
| 64411 Purifier +5 |
| 64412 What say you? |
| 64413 And just how did you come by this supposed knowledge? |
| 64414 Knowledge? That's all you're offering for a piece of my soul? |
| 64415 Uh-huh. And what's to stop me from just killing you again after you tell me all this? |
| 64416 Tell me now, and I'll judge whether your information is worth it. |
| 64417 Is there no other way of restoring you? |
| 64418 Is there no other way of restoring you? |
| 64419 Forget it, Sarevok. There is no way I'm trusting you. |
| 64420 Nothing for me right now. I'll be going. |
| 64421 Nothing for me right now. I'll be going. |
| 64422 I gathered much of the old lore when I was alive, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. As you will recall, it was my goal to assume the mantle of our father. I am dead, perhaps, but the lore still holds true... for you. |
| 64423 Don't know why you'd want to go meet with Gromnir Il-Khanâ€â€most of us do our best to avoid him and his troops. But I just might be able to help you out in this matter. For a fee. |
| 64424 A fee? Forget it. |
| 64425 Isn't the fact that I'm here to help Saradush enough for you? |
| 64426 Isn't the fact that I'm here to help Saradush enough for you? |
| 64427 Fine. How much do you want? |
| 64430 Foebane +3 |
| 64432 Foebane +5 |
| 64437 It goes against my basic nature, but I guess you make a good point. Okay, listen up and I'll tell you a little story. |
| 64438 Hey, business is business, even in these troubled times. If you want the information, you have to pony up the gold. |
| 64439 Bah! Knowledge is more important than *anything*, fool. And what I ask for is but a spark... a spark of the divine taint within you. I will be no Bhaalspawn, my own taint long gone... but I will be alive again. |
| 64440 Forget it! You can keep your secret and die like a dog when Saradush is overrun! |
| 64441 Fine. How much do you want? |
| 64442 I'll need 1,000 gold to share this little secret. |
| 64444 Here's your money. Now start talking. |
| 64446 I'll give you 500. That's it. |
| 64447 I don't have that much. Can you lower the price at all? |
| 64449 1,000 gold! You're mad! I won't pay you anything! |
| 64451 Sorry, my friend. This is a seller's market. The full 1,000 or no deal. Come on back when you're ready, willing, and able to part with that precious gold. |
| 64455 There's an old, abandoned jail in the city where Count Santele could imprison his political enemies. Rumor holds there was a secret passage from the jail into the castle. |
| 64458 I don't need anything right now. |
| 64460 I don't need anything right now. |
| 64462 But the jail never got much use, and nobody bothered to look after it. Eventually, it became overrun with undead, and the count secretly asked Sister Farielle at the Temple to seal the entrance. |
| 64471 Sister Farielle and I have a very *close* relationship, if you get my drift. If you talk to her, she might give you the key to the sealed door of the jail, seeing as how we're all doomed anyway. |
| 64477 Several years ago, I was asked to seal the entrance to the city jail to keep a great evil from escaping into the city. As a cleric of some power, I was the only one who could do so. |
| 64481 I am loath to reopen the entrance lest the evil escape into the city. But if you think you can reason with Gromnir or aid the city somehow, perhaps it is worth the risk. |
| 64482 I sensed that powerful undead creatures had taken up residence in the abandoned jail cells. More than this I cannot say, though I would suggest you bring holy water with you before going down there. |
| 64483 What kind of evil are we talking about? |
| 64485 This key will open the door to the jail... The door itself has been warded against the undead, but once you are below, you will have no protection against them yourself. |
| 64489 You will find the door across the street. I wish I could tell you where to go once you are down there... I know it connects to the castle, but not how. Take the key and be safe, <BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 64491 Nothing, perhaps. Doing so would not return to you that which you freely gave, however. |
| 64493 And what would you kill me for? Revenge? You had your revenge. Do you truly blame my old ambition? I would do the same again, if I could. I cannot, however, and you've nothing to fear in me. |
| 64495 Yes. He is the one... Mateo. He is the... traitor. |
| 64498 I am certain. Before my beloved son, Ardic... disappeared, he told me he had witnessed... Mateo... opening the gate. |
| 64501 Yes, please... take me away from this place. |
| 64502 Carsomyr +6 |
| 64503 My son is... missing, my husband banished by Gromnir. Please just leave me alone with my grief. |
| 64507 Please, I have nothing to say to you. |
| 64508 Please, my lady. I have spoken with Mateo. |
| 64509 I know Mateo has been falsely accused, you old hag! |
| 64510 Why have you betrayed your son's dearest friend with your false accusations? |
| 64511 Oh, Mateo! *Sob* Forgive meâ€â€I had no choice. I could not bear to lose my son. |
| 64512 I... I was forced to do this. By Kiser Jhaeri. He has kidnapped my boy, Ardic! He said if I accused Mateo, he would return my son to me. |
| 64513 How does accusing Mateo of treason and murder help your son? |
| 64514 I won't let an innocent man suffer for your actions, woman! |
| 64515 Okay, I want the whole storyâ€â€NOW! |
| 64516 Gram the Sword of Grief +5 |
| 64523 I am no fool. I struggled just to get here after you destroyed me last, and I know that events move on even as we speak. You have no time to learn these things on your own... and I will never get another opportunity such as this. |
| 64525 But now he has gone back on his word. He says he will keep my son to guarantee my silence. I fear... I fear the worstâ€â€that Kiser has no intention of ever returning my son. |
| 64527 What treachery! Kiser Jhaeri must face the wrath of justice! |
| 64529 What a snake. I can kill him for you, if you want. |
| 64530 You should have just stuck a dagger in his belly when this whole thing started. |
| 64535 I... do not know. Avoid crossing you, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, certainly that. My ambition was everything once. Now that the taint is gone, I... am unsure. But I wish to live. |
| 64536 Dagger of the Star +4 |
| 64544 Dagger of the Star +5 |
| 64545 Ixil's Spike |
| 64546 Perhaps there is. Any divine spark will do, no matter which of Bhaal's children it comes from. I truly doubt our other dear little sibling here has half the courage required, however. |
| 64547 He... he's talking about *me*, isn't he? Part of my soul will bring him back to life too. |
| 64548 Figured that out all on your own, did you? While the thought of harboring a spark of your sugary-sweet soul for eternity does not exactly fill me with joy... yes, it would provide just as well. |
| 64549 I'm not as "sweet" as you think, Sarevok. And you don't deserve a second chance at life! You killed Gorion! |
| 64550 I killed far more than he, dear Imoen, in the course of my ambition. Ask yourself how many you have killed... or <CHARNAME>. Are you so innocent? Was Gorion? I ask for no forgiveness. |
| 64551 No! Kiser must not be harmed, I beg you. He is the only one who knows where my son is. |
| 64552 Nor would you get it! I... I don't know, <CHARNAME>. He doesn't deserve life. But... if it's important... I'll give up part of my soul. You saved mine from Bodhi; you shouldn't have to sacrifice again. |
| 64553 So what would you have me do? |
| 64554 Axe of the Unyielding +3 |
| 64555 Letting Kiser get away with this is not going to get you your son back, Countess. |
| 64556 So you just want to leave Mateo to rot in prison? Fine by me. |
| 64557 Axe of the Unyielding +5 |
| 64558 I... I don't know what to do. I wish Mateo to be free. I wish Kiser to be punished. But most of all, I just wish my son was safe by my side. |
| 64559 I have little to reward you with, but perhaps... perhaps you could go to Kiser's home and speak with him. Maybe somehow you can convince him to release my son. |
| 64560 Is there anything else you can tell me? |
| 64561 K'logarath +4 |
| 64562 You... you have returned? Have you spoken with Kiser yet? |
| 64563 No, I have not spoken with him yet. |
| 64564 Not yet. Is there anything else you can tell me? |
| 64565 I have nothing else I can tell you. Please, go to Kiser's home and speak with him. |
| 64566 Countess, do you know any way I can get in to the castle to see Gromnir? |
| 64567 You... do you bring me news of my son? |
| 64568 Kiser will return Ardic if I kill the wizard Errard. |
| 64569 If you're certain, then do it. This is important. |
| 64570 Kiser Jhaeri is dead, but I still do not know where your son is. |
| 64571 Sorry, Countess. Kiser made me an offer I can't refuseâ€â€eliminate the only witness! |
| 64572 Your own sacrifice will not be forgotten, Imoen. |
| 64573 Help! Guards, protect me! |
| 64574 No, Imoen. I won't allow you to give up part of your soul for me. |
| 64575 Forget it. Neither of us is giving Sarevok anything. I don't trust him. |
| 64576 Kiser wants you dead, Countess. I came to warn you. |
| 64577 Ah, so <CHARNAME> finds someone to take the blow for <PRO_HIMHER>. Are you sure, child? You cannot turn about later and claim <CHARNAME> was using you. It must be of your own free will. |
| 64578 I would lay down my life for <CHARNAME>, and more. In an instant. Always. Maybe one day, "brother," you'll understand what that means. |
| 64579 No! No, this cannot be! You... please go speak to the wizard Errard. You will find him manning the walls of the town. Maybe... maybe he knows a way to yet save my son. |
| 64580 Noâ€â€you must not do such a thing! Errard is a good manâ€â€only his intervention spared me and my son from Gromnir's wrath when he had my husband banished. |
| 64581 Only Errard's magic protects Saradush right nowâ€â€if the wizard is slain, the city is as good as doomed! Oh, is there no hope? |
| 64582 With a spark of you within me, I have little doubt I'll be prancing gaily through flower fields before the season is over. Regardless, I'll take that as a yes. |
| 64583 What do you suggest I do, Countess? |
| 64584 It's just... just a spark, like he said. You saved me, <CHARNAME>. You came for me in Spellhold, and you killed Bodhi. If this needs to be done, then I want to do it. I owe you, no matter what you say. |
| 64585 You have doomed us all! Errard is deadâ€â€without his magic to protect us, Saradush will be destroyed! |
| 64586 I didn't save your soul just to have you give it up, even part of it. |
| 64587 I said no, and I meant it. |
| 64588 I... I thank you for saving my son. I wish I could offer you more of a reward, but this is all I have. |
| 64589 If... if you're certain... then all right. |
| 64590 I have heard the news. My son... is dead. You could not save him. Please... leave me to my grief. |
| 64591 Never mind. Neither of us is giving up anything to Sarevok. |
| 64592 There is no other way, <CHARNAME>, unless you have another Bhaalspawn about that I am unaware of. It is your spark or nothing. Choose. |
| 64593 Staff of the Ram +4 |
| 64594 Countess Santele, I know this is difficult for you. But you have to make a positive identification. |
| 64595 You are certain, Countess? There is no mistake? |
| 64596 You make no demands of me, Kiser Jhaeri! I fulfill my duties as I see fit! Men, take Mateo away. And escort the countess to her quarters. |
| 64597 You are free to go, Kiser. Get out of my sightâ€â€I'm in no mood to see your unscrupulous face right now! |
| 64598 What? Oh, you must be the ones Melissan told me about. Just what our town needsâ€â€more Bhaalspawn. *sigh* My name is Captain Samand, and I'm a very busy man right now. |
| 64599 Well, you better make it quick. I can't stay for longâ€â€I must see to the defense of the walls. |
| 64600 Why did your soldiers drag that young man away? |
| 64601 I'd like to ask you a few questions about Gromnir. |
| 64602 What can you tell me about Melissan? |
| 64603 Do you know some way I can get into the castle to see Gromnir? |
| 64604 Is there anywhere in town I can go to replenish my supplies or maybe get some healing? |
| 64605 Gromnir isn't much of a soldierâ€â€abandoning the city like he did. And as a ruler, he's even more of a tyrant than Count Santele. |
| 64607 I need to ask you a few questions. |
| 64608 The townsfolk are better off since Il-Khan locked himself in that castle. Me and my soldiers have served as the Saradush militia for yearsâ€â€we don't need Gromnir's help to defend the town. |
| 64609 Excellent. I have access to a Spectral Brand and a scroll of wish, both rather impressive items. And there is the gem, of course. What would you wish to play for? |
| 64610 I'm not ready to play just yet. |
| 64611 I will play for the Spectral Brand. |
| 64612 I have some more questions. |
| 64613 I will play for the scroll of wish. |
| 64614 Very well. Then I suppose I will allow Imoen to do it. |
| 64615 I will play for the gem. |
| 64616 Saradush would have been better off if she had never brought all those Bhaalspawn here. Sure, she tries to help during the siegeâ€â€but it's too little, too late. The damage is already done. |
| 64617 So be it. I agree. |
| 64618 I need to ask you another question. |
| 64620 I have not decided yet. |
| 64621 The only way in I know of is straight through the front gatesâ€â€but those are locked up tight. Sorry, Bhaalspawn, but you're stuck out here with the rest of us. |
| 64622 Forget it. I don't trust you. |
| 64623 As you wish. By all means, stroll about and examine what you will of your domain. Time passes, and events move with them. I'm sure it will not take long even for you to realize the truth. |
| 64624 Can I ask you another question? |
| 64625 Go to the Tankard Treeâ€â€the bartender there can set you up with anything you need. Or the Temple of Waukeen, if you're the religious type. |
| 64626 Can I ask you another question? |
| 64627 So I have cheated death! Thank you, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>... no gift could please me more. |
| 64628 That? Oh... a most unpleasant matter. A few days ago, someone opened a secret gate into the townâ€â€Saradush could easily have been overrun. We just discovered the traitor was a young man named Mateo. |
| 64629 You don't sound convinced. |
| 64630 There's no doubt in my mind that *someone* betrayed us. The enemy came through a small sewer outlet that was protected by both a locked iron grate and several powerful magical wards. |
| 64631 There is no way to open that entrance from the outside. But Mateo is a faithful soldier, not the type of man to betray Saradush. |
| 64632 Maybe he didn't. Are there any other suspects? |
| 64633 An alarm was raised, and my soldiers arrived only a few moments after the gate was opened. We found three people in the area: Mateo, Ardic Santele, and the merchant Kiser Jhaeri. |
| 64634 When we began our investigations, I strongly suspected Kiser. He's a greedy, self-serving weasel who would sell his own mother if the price was right. |
| 64635 Begone. I wish to speak to <CHARNAME> only and not one of <PRO_HISHER> hapless minions. You can do nothing for me. |
| 64636 What changed your mind? |
| 64637 Oh, I get it. It had to be the merchant, right? Not one of your own precious soldiers. |
| 64638 Well, if it isn't my dear little sister. Tell me, little one... are you still prancing about pretending that you are a thief? Do you think yourself worthy of carrying Bhaal's blood in your veins? |
| 64639 So why did you arrest Mateo? |
| 64640 We didn't get a chance to complete our investigations. Ardic, the son of the Countess Santele, disappeared. He was our primary witness. |
| 64641 No, not Ardic. Someone who didn't know better might think Ardic was taking revenge for Gromnir's banishment of his father. But the count was nothing but a cruel, violent bastard. Gromnir did Ardic and the countess a favor, and Ardic bears no ill will towards the town. |
| 64642 Perhaps Ardic himself is the culprit. Did you consider this? |
| 64643 But somehow you still made an arrest. |
| 64644 No, it isn't. Ardic was taking his regular shift manning the battlementsâ€â€he wouldn't be the first taken by an enemy arrow or some foul spell. Or maybe Mateo murdered him. |
| 64645 Our attention was focused on the vile Kiser Jhaeri, but we had no proof. Then the countess told us that Ardic, her son, had implicated Mateo before he disappeared. |
| 64646 Serpent Shaft |
| 64647 That's a pretty weak case, if you ask me. |
| 64648 Maybe Ardic and the countess are behind this, seeking revenge on Gromnir for banishing the count. |
| 64649 No more worthy than you, "brother." And I've learned things since we last met that you couldn't begin to dream of. |
| 64650 Staff of the Ram +6 |
| 64651 How do you know the countess is telling the truth? |
| 64652 Oh? I wouldn't know about that. Spend your time in the Abyss, girl, dead and destroyed... and we'll see just what sorts of dreams you have then. I'd wager you'd wilt like a flower in the heat. |
| 64653 I doubt it. Both Ardic and the countess hated the count. He had a short temper and a heavy hand. If Gromnir hadn't banished him... well, who can say? |
| 64654 But you are still convicting Mateo solely on hearsay. |
| 64655 So why don't you go back to being just dead and stop bothering us? I hope <CHARNAME> leaves you to rot! |
| 64656 If you knew the countess, you would know her word is beyond reproach. And she has nothing to gain from a lieâ€â€Mateo was Ardic's closest friend. Accusing him was very traumatic for her. |
| 64657 Still, I have to admit this does not sit well in my gullet. I was so sure Kiser Jhaeri was the culprit. To discover it was one of my own men... I'm shocked. |
| 64658 So now you just sit back and wait for the executioner? |
| 64659 Seems like you want to wrap this up with a quick execution. |
| 64660 So? Have you discovered your way out yet, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>? Have you figured out everything you wish, or have you decided to listen to reason? |
| 64661 Mind if I come to watch the traitor's execution? |
| 64662 Mateo will not be executedâ€â€not while we are under siege. The defense of Saradush is my first concern... but if I had more time, I would investigate further. I just want to find the truth. |
| 64663 I'll listen to your proposal, Sarevok. Tell me what it is you want. |
| 64664 Perhaps I could delve deeper into this matter for you. |
| 64665 Sounds like you want someone to investigate this matter further, Captain. |
| 64666 You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! |
| 64667 I'm not finished looking around yet. |
| 64668 If you wish to investigate further, I will not stand in your way. Speak to Mateo in his cell. The jailer will let you see him. |
| 64669 I've decided that we will do as you ask. Imoen will restore you to life. |
| 64670 I've decided that I will do as you ask, Sarevok. I will restore you. |
| 64671 Still, his disappearance is pretty suspicious. |
| 64672 Why do you suspect Mateo now? |
| 64673 Ixil's Nail +4 |
| 64674 I'd like to know first how you came by this knowledge of yours. |
| 64675 Thank you for the information. I shall be going now. |
| 64676 I will go visit Mateo in the jail at once. I will right this injustice! |
| 64677 Forget it. Mateo is on his own. |
| 64678 I still need to ask you some other questions. |
| 64679 I don't know how willing I am to give up part of my soul for some information. |
| 64680 What you do is your own concern. I must away to aid in the defense of Saradush. |
| 64681 And what's to stop me from just killing you again after you tell me what you know? |
| 64682 I think I've heard enough. I'll be going now. |
| 64683 Tell me now, and I'll judge whether your information is worth it. |
| 64684 Is there no other way to restore you? |
| 64685 Is there no other way to restore you? |
| 64686 Ravager +4 |
| 64687 Yamato +4 |
| 64688 Usuno's Blade +4 |
| 64689 Spectral Brand +4 |
| 64690 I live! Flesh and blood and bone! I am ALIVE! Ha ha ha ha ha! I swore I would scratch and crawl my way back into the world of the living... and I have done it! |
| 64692 Though my sword and armor have not appeared. No matter. Without the Bhaal essence to channel their powers, they are of little use. I shall make do without them, as I once did. Thank you, <CHARNAME>. I am pleased. |
| 64693 Don't thank me. Thank Imoen. |
| 64694 No, the countess must be mad with grief! There must be some mistake! |
| 64695 Why are you doing this, Countess? I am Ardic's friend! Your son and I grew up together! |
| 64696 Spectral Blade |
| 64697 Spectral Blade |
| 64698 There. Surely you now see, my overzealous Captain Samand, that your egregious accusations have needlessly vilified my impeccable character. |
| 64699 Captain, I stringently demand you incarcerate this heinous felon immediately! |
| 64700 Well, Captain? Am I free to go now? Is this travesty of justice, this witch hunt, this... this fiasco finally at an end? |
| 64701 That's odd... I don't feel any different. |
| 64702 I held up my side of the bargain, Sarevok. Now tell me what you know. |
| 64703 Whatever. Now spill it or we start round three, you understand? |
| 64704 Certainly. Thank you, little sister. While it must gall you to no end, I shall treasure your tiny spark within me. |
| 64705 Hmph. You'd better. I don't... feel any differently, though. Somehow I thought I would. |
| 64706 Did I not say it was only an insignificant portion? I suspected that doing it here, in this place, it might work... but I was not sure. It is good to see that I was correct after all. |
| 64707 You weren't *sure*? That was quite a risk. |
| 64708 You weren't *sure* that it would work?! I knew it. You were bluffing the whole time! |
| 64709 Spectral Brand +5 |
| 64710 I did not get to where I did in life without risk, fool. It was no bluff... I knew enough to suspect that it might work, since our heritage was the same. But none of that is important. I imagine you are eager to hear what I have to say. |
| 64711 The first thing I shall tell you of is how to leave this pocket plane that you have created. It is an extension of your will, <CHARNAME>... it exists because you need it to exist. |
| 64712 It is this plane which creates the portal out, but it will not take you where you wish to go. It takes you where you need to be. Or, perhaps, where you believe you need to be. |
| 64713 I suppose such abuse is the best approximation of an apology I can expect from an uncouth cretin such as yourself, Captain Samand. |
| 64714 But I cannot give you the ability to make this plane create such a portal. There are many barred passages in this plane of yours that I know little of. One, however, I can open... and beyond it lies what you seek. Watch... |
| 64715 Enter that room and face your challenge, <CHARNAME>. It will be difficult... you may not want to do it alone. There is a... spirit... here which can summon those companions you require for your party, if you require such. |
| 64716 Who are you? Are you here to further torment me, to heap more scorn upon my head? |
| 64717 My name is <CHARNAME>. I think you've been framed. |
| 64718 I am <CHARNAME>. I want to ask you some questions. |
| 64719 I just came to see them chop off your head, traitor! |
| 64720 Praise Waukeen, someone who believes me! |
| 64721 You may ask, but no one believes my answers. The words of the countess have condemned me in the eyes of everyone. |
| 64722 I believe you are innocent, Mateo. |
| 64723 Why would the countess make up such a story? |
| 64724 I am no traitor! Only the words of the countess have put me here! |
| 64725 I cannot understand why she would falsely accuse me. She is a good woman. When I was growing up with Ardic, her son, she was like a second mother to me. |
| 64726 Maybe she and Ardic planned this as revenge for what Gromnir did to her husband. |
| 64727 I thought it was pretty obvious she was lying to Captain Samand. |
| 64728 I didn't ask for your life story, traitor. I'm just here to watch you suffer. |
| 64729 You cannot make me suffer more than I already am. I have nothing more to say to you. Talk to the countess if you want your answers. |
| 64730 No, that is not possible. If Ardic or his mother felt anything when Gromnir banished the count, it was only relief. He was a brutal, savage man. They are better off without him. |
| 64731 The countess did seem to be acting strangely when she spoke to Captain Samand. At first, I thought it was grief over Ardic's loss, but now I think there may be something more sinister afoot. |
| 64732 Maybe that merchant, Kiser Jhaeri, is involved? |
| 64733 I do not know if Kiser is involved, but if he is, the countess herself may be in as much danger as I am. Kiser is devious, and maybe he has some hold over her. |
| 64734 I regret that there is nothing more I can tell you. You must speak to the countess at her home to find the reasons behind her actions. |
| 64735 Could the countess be under some type of duress? |
| 64736 Who... who goes there? You... are you real? Or are you just another of my fevered hallucinations? |
| 64737 Hallucinations? What are you talking about? |
| 64738 I fear I am going crazy in this cell. Sometimes, when it is quiet, I imagine I can hear Ardic's voice, calling as if from a great distance. |
| 64739 I assure you I am quite real. |
| 64740 I need Ardic's testimony to prove your innocence, Mateo. |
| 64741 Interlopers in my abode? Perhaps you have mistaken this edifice for an establishment of commerce. I assure you, you are mistaken. |
| 64744 If you vacate these premises forthwith, I shall exonerate you for the transgression of your intrusion. |
| 64745 I am at a distinct disadvantage. You have the privilege of knowing my appellation, yet your own moniker remains something of an enigma. |
| 64746 I am <GABBER>. I want to ask you about Mateo. |
| 64747 Never mind my name. I have a few questions about Mateo. |
| 64748 Why do you use so many big words? Are you trying to make me feel stupid? |
| 64749 My utilization of complex locution is more a reflection of my own superincumbent mental acuity than an aspersion on your circumscribed lexicon. |
| 64750 In my youth, I spent much of my time looking into the old lore of the dead Bhaal priesthood. I unearthed one of the old prophecies from an uncooperative sect of Cyric... one that spoke extensively of this time now upon us. |
| 64751 Well, it makes you sound like a pompous ass. |
| 64752 Maybe your grandiose vocabulary is a pathetic compensation for an insufficiency in the nether regions of your anatomy. |
| 64753 Uh... ahem... well... what can I do for you? |
| 64754 I want to ask you a few questions about Mateo. |
| 64755 The Sword Coast will run red with blood, yes... but the battles will culminate in a great struggle within a city to the south, the Tethyrian city of Saradush. |
| 64756 A sorrowing circumstance, to be sure. Who could have conjectured that Mateo was a traitor? |
| 64757 Save it, Kiserâ€â€Countess Santele told me you kidnapped Ardic. |
| 64758 It is there that you *must* go, where the first step of the prophecy will unfold. Although, naturally, you must face your challenge first. |
| 64759 I think you're involved in this somehow, Kiser. |
| 64760 And then what will happen? |
| 64761 How do I know I can trust what you say? |
| 64762 I think you're involved in this somehow, Kiser. |
| 64763 Then I shall take my challenge now. |
| 64764 Aren't you still a child of Bhaal? |
| 64765 I know you're involved, Kiser. I just want a piece of the action. |
| 64766 Hindo's Doom +3 |
| 64767 Then the future begins. Then we will all see just how much of a role you are to play in this conflict and if you can live up to our sire's heritage. |
| 64768 Your accusations are completely unfounded and without merit! Captain Samand has found Mateo to be the sole culpable perpetrator! |
| 64769 How do I know I can trust what you say? |
| 64770 Then I shall go there now. |
| 64771 So are you still a child of Bhaal or not? |
| 64772 Fine. I've heard enough. |
| 64773 No. Bhaal's essence left me as I died... and that which has been given to me now maintains my mortality only. Some might still consider me a Bhaalspawn, but it is solely a matter of history and memory. |
| 64774 Conversation with you is an exercise in futility and an inconvenience I have no need of. I refuse to participate further in this implied denigration of my reputation! |
| 64775 So what will happen after I go to Saradush? |
| 64776 How do I know I can trust what you say? |
| 64777 Then I shall go to take my challenge now. |
| 64778 Hindo's Doom +4 |
| 64779 Fine. I've heard enough. |
| 64780 Save it, Kiser. Countess Santele told me you kidnapped her son! |
| 64781 Of course you cannot trust me. Why would you? Take me with you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 64782 Before you go, I have one more thing to ask of you, <CHARNAME>. Take me with you. |
| 64783 What?! |
| 64784 What?! |
| 64785 So the countess has violated her covenant of discretion. Before you vault to spurious conclusions, however, I suggest you hear my exegesis of the extenuating circumstances, child of Bhaal. |
| 64786 Take you with us?! So you can betray us, stab us in the back? Why would we ever want you with us, Sarevok? |
| 64787 I know you're involved, Kiser. I just want a piece of the action. |
| 64788 I once was sure that the old prophecies centered around me. Even if that is no longer the case, I know more about them than perhaps anyone. I can help you, <CHARNAME>. With the challenge in that room and more. |
| 64789 Of course, I do this for no selfless reason. There is power in your wake, <CHARNAME>. I am sure I am not the first to tell you this. And there is no better opportunity for me elsewhere. |
| 64790 Besides... you defeated me long ago. You have earned my respect. Think of it, <CHARNAME>! Brother and <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, side by side! |
| 64792 Forget it. You're not my brother, and I would never trust you at my back. |
| 64793 And what use might you be to me? |
| 64794 I might consider letting you join me... but you'd have to do exactly what I say. |
| 64795 I don't have room for you in my party, even if I wanted to take you. |
| 64796 Club of Detonation +3 |
| 64797 You are most perceptive, my Bhaalspawn friend. Oh, do not look so surprisedâ€â€I knew both your identity and your ancestry long before you blundered into my not-so-humble abode. |
| 64798 Ah, your visage registers surpriseâ€â€did you presume I did not know both your identity and ancestry long before you stumbled into my dwelling? I present you with an offer, Bhaalspawn. |
| 64799 I see. So be it. Our business is finished then, <CHARNAME>. You have what you need, and so do I. Gather your companions for your challenge and be off. May we not meet again. |
| 64800 Before you vault to spurious conclusions, however, I suggest you hear my exegesis of the extenuating circumstances. I have an offer for you, child of Bhaal. |
| 64801 Aside from the knowledge I retain, I am a warrior of no small ability. You fought me, <CHARNAME>; you would know. I have only become stronger from my time in Hell. Under one such as you, I could be greater still. |
| 64802 Without your armor and your divine power, you're less than useless to me. Begone. |
| 64804 And how would I know that you wouldn't turn on me as soon as it suited you? |
| 64805 We are two of a kind, you and I. I admit I abducted Ardic, and even one of the dullest faculties can deduce from this that I am also the one responsible for opening the gate... though ultimately my initial plan did not see fruition. |
| 64807 I don't have room for you in my party, even if I wanted to take you. |
| 64809 This town is doomed regardless of my actions, and I only sought to augment my own capital before the inevitable denouement of the siege. I can offer a similar abundance of riches to you. |
| 64810 You have my interest, Kiser Jhaeri. Keep talking. |
| 64811 Club of Detonation +5 |
| 64812 Sorry, not interested. |
| 64813 You must hear the particulars before you repudiate my proposal. |
| 64814 The defenses of Saradush are bolstered by the enchantments of the mage Errard. I intend to eradicate Errard's contributions, thus expediting the eventual subjugation of the town. |
| 64815 You mean you're going to kill him off. |
| 64816 Inelegant, yet precisely accurate. If you exterminate the enchanter Errard, I will reveal Ardic's hidden locationâ€â€and I am certain his mother will reward you most handsomely upon their reunion. |
| 64817 Killing wizards is hard business. |
| 64818 Alternatively, the countess could be forcibly compelled into a more permanent silence, given her propensity to disseminate potentially damaging information. I would pay handsomely for that service. |
| 64820 I've killed my share of mages in the past. One more shouldn't be too much trouble. |
| 64821 Wowâ€â€you want almost everyone dead, don't you? |
| 64822 I leave the choice to you, <CHARNAME>. Kill Errard and recoup compensation from the countess for liberating Ardic, or silence the countess and I will remunerate you and kill Errard myself in due time. |
| 64823 I admit my culpability in Ardic's abduction, yet this does not implicate me in the betrayal of Saradush. Ardic did indeed see me near the gates, but I was not the guilty party. |
| 64824 You expect me to buy this story? |
| 64825 I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Go on. |
| 64826 You are ignorant of the particulars, yet already you convict me. You are as prejudiced against me as Captain Samand. |
| 64827 Very well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubtâ€â€for now. |
| 64828 The real traitor is a wizard named Errard. He poses as a stalwart defender of Saradush, yet in truth he is a seditious prevaricator. The mind of that mage is convoluted beyond comprehension. |
| 64829 If this is true, why didn't you just tell Captain Samand? |
| 64830 No one would believe my accountâ€â€not without substantial proof. Captain Samand is driven by a perverse desire to ruin me, and he was willing to convict me based on Ardic's speculative testimony. |
| 64831 I was compelled to secure my own liberty so that I could pursue my investigations against the sorcerer and uncover the evidence that will implicate the renegade mage. |
| 64832 I will take an oath to follow you, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, if that will satisfy. Here... in this place... such an oath would have power, like a geas. I could not betray you. |
| 64833 But why did you frame Mateo? |
| 64834 I could not let Errard know anyone suspects his involvement, or the wizard would destroy the evidence I need to procure. And the only other people in the vicinity were Ardic and Mateo. |
| 64835 No, you're too willing somehow. I don't trust you. Forget it. |
| 64836 No, there's no need for an oath. I'm satisfied. Join me and let's go. |
| 64837 I had to kidnap Ardic, then use him to coerce his mother to point the finger of blame at Mateo. Only in this way could I keep myself from prison without alerting Errard of my intent to expose him. |
| 64838 All right. If you swear an oath not to betray me... then you may join me. |
| 64839 I might return for you later. Perhaps you can swear an oath then. |
| 64840 A farfetched tale. How do I know you are telling the truth? |
| 64841 I don't think I believe you. Perhaps I should just kill you now. |
| 64842 Then leave one of your lackeys here, in your plane, for you to return when you require them. Or leave me in this place until I am needed. I intend on seeing what occurs with you, so I will wait. |
| 64843 It sounds like you are the victim of circumstance and prejudice. |
| 64844 Ah, the eternal curse of the successful merchant. People see my affluence and are instantly predisposed to doubt me. I have no proof to offer at this time. But I do hold one card yet. |
| 64845 No, you're agreeing too easily. I'll never trust you. Forget it. |
| 64846 Storm Star +3 |
| 64847 How would I know you wouldn't betray me at the first opportunity? |
| 64848 If any harm befalls me, I guarantee Ardic will never be found alive. If you desire to aid the countess, you will help me exonerate myself. |
| 64850 Storm Star +5 |
| 64853 No, don't bother waiting here. I won't let you join me regardless. |
| 64854 I assume you want me to find evidence implicating Errard? |
| 64855 Alas, such an elementary resolution is not possible. While Errard lives, he is able to obfuscate investigation into his own actions. Only his demise will allow me to clear my own name. |
| 64857 Runehammer +4 |
| 64858 So you want me to kill the wizard Errard? |
| 64859 Regrettably, yes. I could not attempt such an endeavor myselfâ€â€but you might prevail where I would falter. If not for me, consider how this will benefit Ardic, the countess, and even Saradush itself. |
| 64861 Do we now have a full understanding of the situation? May I rely on your absolute cooperation in this matter? |
| 64862 Runehammer +5 |
| 64863 You... will not require an oath? An... odd... choice, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. I would have required it of you. If I had even let you live. As you wish, then... let us attend to your challenge. Remember... consider that you may need more companions to complete it. |
| 64864 What's to stop me from telling Captain Samand what I know? |
| 64865 Without some proof, no one would believe your tale. And it would be extremely detrimental to the health of Ardic. |
| 64866 So what's to stop me from just killing you now? |
| 64867 You might make the attemptâ€â€but my death will not bring gain to anyone involved. I suggest you save your violent impulses for other individuals. Errard comes readily to mind. |
| 64868 Very well. I, Sarevok, swear on the bitter ashes of my mother and the dead god that is my father, in the name of vengeance and the bitter bile that is my blood... I swear that I shall not betray <CHARNAME> so long as I live. |
| 64870 Return only once your task is done. Until then, we have nothing further to discuss. |
| 64871 Fine. Let's go. |
| 64872 Good enough. I may return for you later, then... wait here. |
| 64873 I don't believe a word of it. Your word is worth nothing to me, Sarevok. |
| 64874 Good! Now it will be even easier to kill you a third time! |
| 64875 Darkfire Bow +4 |
| 64876 As you wish. I shall wait for your return, <CHARNAME>. Remember... the challenge may be difficult. Consider summoning companions to your side. |
| 64877 Darkfire Bow +5 |
| 64878 You turn your hand against me? I should have expected as much. I would do the same. I know how to leave this place on my own, however... may we not meet again, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 64879 Do you require my sword again? It is ready to kill at your command. |
| 64880 Yes, join with me now. |
| 64881 I think I will require an oath of loyalty from you if I am to trust you. |
| 64882 No, continue waiting here. I'll come back. |
| 64883 You turn your hand against me? I should have expected as much. I would do the same. I know how to leave this place on my own, however... may we not meet again, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 64884 So. This is the extent of the mortality you are allowing me. As you wish... murder me once again. If you can. |
| 64885 So what is it to be, then? Am I to be replaced by some quivering, fawning lackey? Bah! Shall I wait here for you or not? |
| 64886 I am already cognizant of your actions. The countess is no more. Please accept this payment as a token of my gratitude. I have taken the liberty of arranging Errard's death as well. |
| 64887 Never mind. Rejoin the party... my mistake. |
| 64888 Yes, wait here, Sarevok. |
| 64889 No, return to the pocket plane. Wait for me there. |
| 64890 I am already cognizant of your actions. Errard is no more. You will find Ardic in a secret cell within the basement; this key will grant you access. |
| 64891 I thank you for your assistance... without your help, my plan to betray Saradush could never have succeeded! But now I must take my leave. Without the wizard defender on the walls, the town of Saradush is ultimately doomed! |
| 64892 Do you require my sword again? It is ready to kill at your command. |
| 64893 Yes, join with me now. |
| 64894 No, continue waiting for a while. |
| 64895 Begone. I have nothing to say to you. My business lies with <CHARNAME> only. |
| 64896 I suppose it is purely an altruistic decision if you want to rescue Ardic now. He is in a secret cell in the basement of this edifice. This key will grant you accessâ€â€I care not either way. |
| 64897 The defense of the walls of Saradush demands all my attentions. I cannot spare the time to speak to you. |
| 64898 The defense of the walls of Saradush demands all my attentions. I cannot spare the time to speak to you. |
| 64899 I have come from the countess. I must speak to you about Ardic, her son. |
| 64900 I need to speak to you about Ardic's disappearance. |
| 64901 I have some bad news, old man. It's time for you to die! |
| 64902 To arms, my fellows! We are attacked within our own walls! |
| 64903 One of many who have given their lives defending these walls. But there is not time to mourn. Now please excuse me. |
| 64904 I sympathize with the noble woman's grief, yet there is little I can do to ease her suffering. Her son is dead. |
| 64905 Kiser Jhaeri sent me to kill you, but I'm not going to do it. |
| 64906 Impossible! Everyone knows Mateo is the traitor. Ardic was a witnessâ€â€he caught him red-handed, or so I hear. |
| 64907 No, Ardic is being held captive by Kiser Jhaeri. |
| 64908 Kiser Jhaeri? Why would he do such a thing? |
| 64909 He claims you betrayed Saradush by allowing the enemy into the city. |
| 64910 Because he betrayed Saradush by allowing the enemy into the city. |
| 64911 Mateo is just the fall guy. I think Kiser is the real traitor. |
| 64912 Taralash +4 |
| 64913 Taralash +5 |
| 64914 The word of a Bhaalspawn counts for little here in Saradush. But for the safety of the city, I must investigate the truth of your accusations. We must find Ardic. |
| 64915 Quiver of Plenty +1 |
| 64916 That's what I've been trying to tell you! |
| 64917 Quiver |
| 64918 Kiser swears he will never reveal Ardic's location until you are dead. |
| 64919 Quiver of Plenty +2 |
| 64920 Brilliant. Glad *you* came up with that idea. |
| 64921 Now that I know Ardic lives and that Kiser was involved in his disappearance, I may be able to use my powers of magical divination to reveal where Ardic is being held. |
| 64922 Arrow +3 |
| 64923 Alas, I will not be able to do much more than this. As urgent as Ardic's testimony is in discovering a traitor in our midst, I cannot leave my place on the wall for more than a few minutes. |
| 64924 Bolt +3 |
| 64925 Show me where Ardic is, and I shall take care of the rest. |
| 64926 Fine. I'll do all the actual work. As usual. |
| 64927 Reveal Ardic's location, and I shall thwart Kiser's evil scheme! |
| 64928 Holdâ€â€my enchantment begins. |
| 64929 My spell is complete. Ardic yet lives, as you have claimed! But this is most strange. |
| 64930 All the signs point to the home of Kiser Jhaeri. I suggest you investigate Kiser's home more thoroughly. It is there you shall find the son of the countess. |
| 64931 I must stay to defend the walls of Saradush against the magics of our enemy. Find Ardicâ€â€only his testimony can save Mateo. |

| 64941 <CHARNAME>, for endeavoring to divulge my machinations, I shall repay you with the gruesome demise of both Ardic and yourself! |

| 64947 Greetings to you, child of Bhaal. I am an aspect of your fate, the thread that leads you unerringly along your destiny. In a way, I am a part of you. |
| 64948 You... thank Waukeen someone found me! |
| 64949 An aspect of my fate? Can you tell me of the future? |
| 64950 Are you Ardic Santele, son of the countess? |
| 64951 Ardic Santele, I presume. |
| 64952 Do you know anything of my powers? |
| 64953 There will be time enough for thanks later. Let's get you out of this prison. |
| 64954 Do you know how I leave this place? |
| 64955 Finally! The reward for rescuing you better be worth all this trouble. |
| 64956 Yes, I am Ardic Santele. I never thought I would see the light of day again! |
| 64957 I am certain my mother, the countess, will reward you more than adequately for rescuing me. |
| 64958 I don't understand. What are you, exactly? |
| 64959 Let us leave this place at once, before Kiser Jhaeri arrives to check up on me. I must tell my mother I yet live, then inform Captain Samand that Kiser is a traitor to Saradush! |
| 64960 I only follow the strands of fate that you weave with others, child. You tug at the entire pattern of the tapestryâ€â€such is the strength of your own destiny. |
| 64961 Kiser Jhaeri is deadâ€â€I killed him myself. |
| 64962 Kiser Jhaeri will not bother you anymore. I made a deal with him for your release. |
| 64964 You also end the threads of many. Threads that touch you and get woven around you are cut short, dead, their future ended. Such is also your fate. |
| 64965 Your mother is dead, Ardic. I killed her myself. |
| 64966 I am sorry to tell you that your mother is dead, Ardic. |
| 64967 Amulet of Cheetah Speed |
| 64968 Dead? Then... I thank you, on behalf of all the citizens of Saradush. There is much I must do. Thank you once again. |
| 64969 Amulet of Seldarine |
| 64970 A... deal? What kind of deal did that snake make? |
| 64971 The price of your freedom was the death of the wizard Errard. |
| 64972 You murdered Errard to save me? You would have been better off leaving me here to die! |
| 64973 The Warder's Signet +3 |
| 64974 Without Errard on the walls, Saradush is doomed. Kiser has succeeded in his treachery! I... I must go and tell the captain. |
| 64975 The Specter's Ring |
| 64976 You killed... you monster! I will avenge her death! |
| 64977 My mother... dead? No! It must not be! I... I must see to her remains. Please... please excuse me. |
| 64978 And so the foul traitor dies! I thank you, on behalf of all the citizens of Saradush. There is much I must doâ€â€I cannot stay. But thank you once again. |
| 64979 But you cannot help me, no matter whether you be of flesh or a mere vision of my tortured mind. Please just let me descend into the soothing embrace of madness! |
| 64980 Can't you see I'm busy guarding the jail? I don't have time for your yammering! |
| 64981 Captain Samand said I should speak to the prisoner, Mateo. |
| 64984 I'd like to ask you some questions about Melissan. |
| 64985 Do you know some way I can get into the castle to speak to Gromnir? |
| 64987 I'll be going. |
| 64988 You must have me confused with the Saradush information center. I'm not here to answer your questions; I just guard the jail. |
| 64989 Just move along now, and we don't have a problem. |
| 64990 Captain Samandâ€â€why didn't you say so? I'll unlock the door for you, and you can come and go as you please. |
| 64993 Studded Leather of Thorns +6 |
| 64994 Thorns |
| 64995 Dealing with Gromnir Melissan brought a general by the name of Gromnir Il-Khan to protect this town and its Bhaalspawn... only to have him lock himself within the castle out of paranoia. He refuses to see anyone and is destroying Saradush with his madness. Melissan believes he must be stopped before the sieging army can be dealt with. I will have to find some way into the castle to deal with Gromnir. Perhaps the meeting will be a peaceful one, although Melissan believes Gromnir must be killed. I shall see. |
| 64996 So can you help me or not? |
| 64997 I don't need more riddles. I need answers! |
| 64998 Saradush under siege I find myself in the city of Saradush, surrounded by the army of Yaga-Shuraâ€â€a child of Bhaal. Within the city are a number of my own Bhaalspawn kin, led by a despot named Gromnir Il-Khan. It seems they cannot escape from the city (even by magical means) while the army is camped outside. |
| 64999 Either say something useful or I will show you just why death follows me! |
| 65000 Saradush under siege I have spoken with Melissan, a woman claiming to be a friend and protector of the children of Bhaal. She has promised me an explanation of why Yaga-Shura wants to kill me and all the other Bhaalspawn here if I can end this siege. |
| 65001 Dealing with Gromnir Pyrgam Aleson at the Tankard Tree told me there were legends of a secret entrance into the castle through an abandoned jail. He instructed me to talk to Sister Farielle at the Temple of Waukeen about getting into the now sealed jail. |
| 65002 I cannot touch your own thread, child... nor can I tell where it leads. I can, however, alter the threads of those whose lives are intertwined closely with your own, those whose destinies are tied to yours. |
| 65003 Dealing with Gromnir Sister Farielle gave me a key to the abandoned jail. Somewhere inside, there is rumored to be a secret area which connects to the castle. The key opens the door across the street, which leads to the abandoned dungeon. The Sister also suggested I bring some holy water to battle the undead I will likely encounter. |
| 65004 Meaning what, exactly? |
| 65005 There are those who are tied to your fate and your future, whether they know of it or not. If their threads are within my reach, I can bring them to this place. |
| 65006 Aslyferund Elven Chain +5 |
| 65007 You can bring people here? |
| 65008 If they are meant to be part of your future, yes. They will fall into your wake because their fates are tied to yours. |
| 65009 Is there a thread you wish me to search for, child of Bhaal? I will bring them to this place, if I can. |
| 65010 Bring me Aerie, the elven cleric/mage. |
| 65011 Bring me Minsc, the ranger. |
| 65012 Bring me Korgan, the dwarven fighter. |
| 65013 Bring me Keldorn, the inquisitor paladin. |
| 65014 Bring me Jaheira, the half-elven fighter/druid. |
| 65015 Betrayal at the gates Captain Samand informed me of a plot to let the enemy into Saradush through a secret gate in the wall. On the testimony of Countess Santele, the traitor, a young man named Mateo, has been taken to the militia headquarters. The captain originally suspected a vile merchant named Kiser Jhaeri, and he suggested I go speak to Mateo at the militia headquarters if I wish to investigate this further. |
| 65016 Bring me Jan, the gnome thief/mage. |
| 65017 Bring me Imoen, the thief/mage. |
| 65018 Bring me Anomen, the fighter/cleric. |

| 65026 Bring me Edwin, the magic-user. |
| 65027 Bring me Yoshimo, the bounty hunter. |
| 65028 Betrayal at the gates Mateo claims he is innocent and cannot understand why the countess would accuse him. Perhaps it is tied to her missing son? I should talk to the countess to see if she is hiding anything. |
| 65029 Never mind. I can't think of anyone else. |
| 65031 Betrayal at the gates Countess Santele's son, Ardic, has been abducted. Kiser Jhaeri, the kidnapper, forced the countess to accuse Mateo of treachery if she ever hoped to see Ardic again. The countess did as ordered, but her son has not been returned. With nothing left to lose, she wants me to speak to Kiserâ€â€but she is afraid that if Kiser is harmed, her son will suffer. |

| 65033 Enkidu's Full Plate +3 |
| 65034 Betrayal at the gates Kiser Jhaeri told me he kidnapped Ardic in order to protect himself from false accusations of treason. He claims the real traitor is a wizard named Errard and promises that if I kill this mage, he will tell me where to find Ardic. |
| 65035 I cannot do as you ask, child of Bhaal. The thread of the one you speak is beyond my sight, as it no longer touches yours. |
| 65036 Darksteel Shield +4 |
| 65037 As you wish. |
| 65038 Betrayal at the gates Kiser told me he kidnapped Ardic, and he made me an interesting offer. He will turn the boy over to me if I kill a wizard named Errard so that I can collect the reward from the countess. Or, I can kill the countess to ensure her silence, and Kiser will take care of Errard himself. In either case, the deed should pay handsomely. |
| 65039 Gauntlets of Extraordinary Specialization |
| 65041 Betrayal at the gates The wizard is dead, and as promised, Kiser has given me a key and told me that Ardic is imprisoned in a secret cell within his basement. With that, the cowardly traitor vanished. I think Errard's death may have serious consequences for the city of Saradush. |
| 65045 Betrayal at the gates The countess is dead, and Kiser has ensured Saradush will fall by arranging the death of Errard. He has given me a key and told me I can find Ardic in a secret cell in the basementâ€â€though with his mother dead, I doubt there would be any reward if I saved the young man now. |
| 65048 As you wish. Continue on your course, child of Bhaal. |
| 65049 Betrayal at the gates The wizard Errard told me Ardic is being held somewhere in Kiser's home. I need to return there to find Ardic so that his testimony can free Mateo and help convict Kiser Jhaeri. |
| 65050 Improved Cloak of Protection +2 |
| 65051 Betrayal at the gates Kiser Jhaeri is dead, and Ardic is free. His testimony will exonerate Mateo, and the countess will likely give me a nice reward for my efforts. |
| 65052 Betrayal at the gates Kiser Jhaeri is dead, but Ardic was also killed. His death weighs heavily on the heart of his mother, although I imagine the charges against Mateo will still be dropped. |

| 65062 Dealing with Gromnir I managed to get into the castle, finally, and encountered the mad general. Whatever chance there might have been for a peaceful resolution was dashed as soon as I met Gromnir... he was obviously as mad as Melissan claimed. Regardless, he is dead now, and his tyranny and his rampaging men will no longer be a problem for Saradush. There is, of course, still the problem of Yaga-Shura's army around the city... |
| 65063 Blessed Bracers |
| 65064 <CHARNAME>? *gasp* It... it *is* you, isn't it? Ever since I left the circus, I wondered when I... I... That's odd. I don't remember when I left the circus. What is this place? |
| 65065 Bard's Gloves |
| 65066 Gromnir knows a stranger came to Saradush, pretty Melissan. Another Bhaalspawn. You must think Gromnir too stupid not to remember there is no way in or out of this city, mmm? |
| 65067 That's not important, Aerie. I need you to travel with me. |
| 65068 We've traveled together before, Aerie. It's pretty complicated... Join with me, and I'll explain. |
| 65069 Bah! Gromnir knows the truth. We is no idiot! Melissan has brought this outsider in to kill Gromnir! |
| 65070 I know we've never traveled together before, Aerie, but I need you to join me. |
| 65071 Bhaalspawn mean nothing! Yaga-Shura is Bhaalspawnâ€â€he wants Gromnir's head too! HAH ha ha! Foolish Melissan is plotting *against* Gromnir. Melissan is plotting the ruin of ALL the children of Bhaal! |
| 65072 Montolio's Cloak |
| 65073 Mad? Paranoid? HA HA HA HA! No! Gromnir finally understands how Melissan lied. Melissan lured Gromnir into a deathtrap! Tell Gromnir where the Bhaalspawn assassin is hiding! |
| 65074 This is... part of the Abyss, I guess. I summoned you here. |
| 65075 Gromnir will never meet with this Bhaalspawn of yours. HAH! Gromnir is wise to Melissan's schemes. Melissan wants to turn Bhaalspawn against Bhaalspawn until ALL are dead! |
| 65076 Join you? I... That does sound right somehow. My own... abilities have grown since I last saw you. I had to leave the circus... the Cowled Wizards were growing angry with me, at my magic. |
| 65077 Talk? Talk? The only talk Gromnir will give <CHARNAME> is a battle cry! HAH! |
| 65078 Take Melissan awayâ€â€but watch closely! *chuckle* Gromnir knows that Melissan is tricky. Melissan lies... Melissan deceives! Hee heh... |
| 65079 So the assassin is here! Ha ha! <CHARNAME> has come to kill Gromnir, eh? HAH! Good fun! |
| 65080 I guess it didn't matter, not really. I was helping people, when I could... but... but every time I helped someone, there was always more despair. It... it was terrible. |
| 65081 So I had to leave all my friends behind. I... I was thinking of traveling south to the mountains to search for my people. But... but this is just as well. I'll help you, <CHARNAME>, if you want me to. |
| 65082 Your guards threatened me with arrest if I did not accompany themâ€â€I do not take kindly to threats, Gromnir! What is it you want? |
| 65083 You fool, Gromnir! That "stranger" may be our only hope of escaping this siege alive! |
| 65085 Certainly. I could use the help. |
| 65086 I do... Just don't get out of line, elf, and keep your whining to a minimum. |
| 65087 Wait here for now... I may need your help later. |
| 65088 Is... is that how you treat people who help you? It... it seems so important that I help you somehow... if it weren't for that, I would go. Just... just keep your rudeness to yourself, or I will! |
| 65089 You are mad, Gromnir! Have I not always aided you and all the other Bhaalspawn? Iâ€â€I brought you here to protect you! It was *your* paranoia that brought Yaga-Shura upon us! |
| 65090 Wait... wait here? It... it *does* seem important that I help you somehow. Allâ€â€all right... I'll stay here for a while. But not for too long... |
| 65091 I'm... not too surprised. My life has been strange since you left. Still... the Cowled Wizards are angry with me now, at my magic... I had to leave the circus. |
| 65092 Hiding? The stranger is not hiding, Gromnir! If you were not holed up in this castle, you two could've had a meeting when the stranger first arrived! |
| 65093 Thieves' Hood |
| 65094 Please, Gromnir. <CHARNAME> just wants to talk to you. It may be our only way to defeat Yaga-Shura. |
| 65095 You... summoned me? I... haven't I been traveling with you? No... no, I haven't, have I? But it seems so confused... |
| 65096 The stranger is a friendâ€â€a Bhaalspawn, just like you. |
| 65097 Your madness will be your death, Gromnir, nothing else... the death of you and all those who foolishly follow you. |
| 65098 I know this is odd, Aerie, but I need you to join me. I can explain later. |
| 65099 Tzu-Zan's Bracers |
| 65100 Never mind your confusion. Just get in the party and be quiet. |
| 65101 I know this is odd, Aerie, but I need you to join me. I can explain later. |
| 65102 Do... do you need my help, then? I'd be glad to travel with you again. |
| 65103 Yes, join with me now. |
| 65104 No, continue waiting here for a while. |
| 65105 Well... all right. This... this is a dreadful place. It frightens me, and... and reminds me a little of you, <CHARNAME>. D-don't leave me here too long. |
| 65106 Oaken Ring |
| 65107 You... you want me to leave already? Iâ€â€I could still be a lot of help to you! |
| 65108 Heartwood Ring |
| 65109 Actually, I've changed my mind. Stay with the party. |
| 65110 I'm sure. Just wait right here for now. |
| 65111 I'm sure. I'll send you back to the pocket plane for now. |
| 65112 Holy Symbol of Lathander |
| 65113 Holy Symbol of Helm |
| 65114 Holy Symbol of Talos |
| 65115 Are you certain you wish me to go? There's still much left undone... |
| 65116 Actually, I've changed my mind. Stay with the party. |
| 65117 I'm sure. Just wait right here for now. |
| 65118 I'm sure. I'll send you back to the pocket plane for now. |
| 65119 Do... do you need my help, then? I'd be glad to travel with you again. |
| 65120 Yes, join with me now. |
| 65121 No, wait here for a while yet. |
| 65122 Allâ€â€all right... although I feel rather useless just... just standing around. |
| 65123 Do you need me again? I am willing to take up the fight. |
| 65124 Yes, join with me now. |
| 65125 No, wait here for a while yet. |
| 65126 All right. But I will not remain here idle forever. |
| 65127 So, our paths do cross once again! I knew they would, even when I first laid eyes upon you. So... what use do you have for me in this... this place? |
| 65128 Gromnir! <CHARNAME>! Lay aside your weapons! We must work together to... Nooo! I see I am too late to stop the bloodshed. You have slain Gromnir and many other Bhaalspawn as well. |
| 65132 I need your help, Anomen. I need you to travel with me. |
| 65133 I need your help, Anomen. I need you to travel with me. |
| 65134 I don't have much use for you, priest, unless your attitude has changed. |
| 65136 My duties with the Order are many... and my fellows have their suspicions about you, a spawn of the dead Lord of Murder. I can see the marks that the taint has made upon your soul. |
| 65137 But I am not blind to the events that ravage the land. I will join you, <CHARNAME>, to see that the right prevails. And if you are part of these evils... then I will stop you. |
| 65138 Fair enough. I'll take what help I can get. |
| 65139 Don't threaten me, priest. You don't know what you're talking about. |
| 65140 You'll do what I say, or you'll rot here; I don't care what your opinion is. |
| 65141 Perhaps not. It is difficult to say whether you will serve the cause of good or evil in the end. But, by Helm, I will watch you closely and serve in what I believe is my best judgment. |
| 65142 Come with me, then. |
| 65143 You'll do what I say or you'll rot here, do you understand that? |
| 65144 I am a high priest of Helm, and I can only serve as the Watcher wills. I do not claim to know where your destiny lies, Bhaalspawn... Take me or leave me here. |
| 65145 Fine. That's good enough for me. |
| 65146 Damn straight. Get in line and don't bother me. |
| 65147 Stay here, then. |
| 65148 You'll wait here for now. |
| 65149 My fate has brought me here, it seems... and I will live or die according to your actions. So be it. I am at your mercy, Bhaalspawn. |
| 65150 Helm will watch over and guide me. You, Bhaalspawn, have much more to fear than I. |
| 65151 You need my help, is it? I am no member of the Order, thanks to you... but I am still a priest of Helm, the Watcher God. I can see the marks that your taint has made on your soul. |
| 65152 Do I want to get caught up in whatever dangerous future you have? I wanted adventure once, didn't I? Hah! So be it. Let's see what fate has lurking for you, Bhaalspawn. |
| 65153 Fine, let's go. |
| 65154 Then wait here for now. I'll come back for you. |
| 65155 That does not sound as exciting, certainly... but I'll not tell you what to decide. Do as you wish. |
| 65156 And I have little use for you, Bhaalspawn. So we are even. If you have something to say, then spit it out. |
| 65157 I need you to travel with me. |
| 65158 I need you to travel with me. |
| 65159 Forget it. Stay here and rot... I'll decide what to do with you later. |
| 65160 Forget it. Stay here and rot... I'll decide what to do with you later. |
| 65161 So... do you require me to travel with you, Bhaalspawn? Or am I to remain in this hellish place interminably? |
| 65162 Yes, come with me. |
| 65163 No, stay here awhile longer. |
| 65164 As you say, though it brings me no pleasure. Why I have been brought here just to stand about, I cannot imagine. |
| 65165 If you want to part company, then so be it. What would you have me do? |
| 65166 Never mind. Stay in the party, Anomen. |
| 65167 Just wait here. |
| 65168 I'll send you back to the pocket plane. Wait for me there. |
| 65169 As you say... although I have no desire to be standing about if there is something else to be done. |
| 65170 Have you changed your mind? I would prefer to be on the road rather than waiting here. |
| 65171 Yes, come with me, Anomen. |
| 65172 Wait here a while longer, actually. |
| 65173 You wish to part company, my love? I hope you're only considering a temporary parting... I would not be away from you for long. |
| 65174 My mistake... stay with the party, Anomen. |
| 65175 Wait here... it will not be for long. |
| 65176 I'll send you back to the pocket plane. Wait for me there. |
| 65177 As you wish. I shall await your return eagerly. |
| 65178 Do you need me to join with you once again, my love? |
| 65179 Yes, come with me. |
| 65180 Actually, wait here a while longer. |
| 65181 Ahh. The balance has been wildly threatened... I and others of my brethren have felt it. And of course, you are at the center of these events, child of Bhaal. |
| 65182 I knew when I saw you that we would meet again. If you have called on me to join you in your quest, then I am more than willing. I will do whatever I can to preserve the balance. |
| 65183 And what if preserving the balance is not my goal? |
| 65184 And what if preserving the balance is not my goal? |
| 65185 And what if preserving the balance is not my goal? |
| 65186 Excellent. Join with me, then. |
| 65187 Then wait here... I will deal with you soon. |
| 65188 How can it not be your goal? You serve the balance with every breath. Nature is as part of your soul as the taint which colors your fate... a balance in and of itself. |
| 65189 Perhaps so. Join with me, then. |
| 65190 I'll argue with you later. For now, wait here. |
| 65191 You may not have the most stellar of reputations, <CHARNAME>, and you may pay close heed to the call of the taint in your soul... but can even you claim that you will not serve the balance in the end? None of us know this for certain. |
| 65192 Perhaps so. Join with me, then. |
| 65193 I'll argue with you later. For now, wait here. |
| 65194 Whether one may strive for evil or good, one can never be certain that the balance is not ultimately being served. If the balance is threatened, you may restore it no matter your intentions... or, at least, this is my hope. |
| 65195 Fair enough. Join with me, then. |
| 65196 I'll argue with you later. For now, wait here. |
| 65197 Good. It pleases me to see you again, <CHARNAME>. I hope that my skills will be of some use to you. |
| 65198 Wait here? This is an odd place, isn't it? Unnatural and alien... yet also natural. Alive. I believe I will be pleased to inspect it thoroughly before you come back. |
| 65199 You have returned! I take it, then, that you have a need of me now? |
| 65200 Yes... join with me now. |
| 65201 Not just yet... wait here a while longer. |
| 65202 That does not bother me in the slightest. Return when you wish. I find this strange plane of yours rather... fascinating. |
| 65203 I see you have made a decision. Am I to leave your company then, my friend? |
| 65204 No, my mistake. Stay with me for now. |
| 65205 Yes. Just wait here for a while. |
| 65206 Yes. I will send you back to the pocket plane. Wait there for a while. |
| 65207 As you wish. I am sure you will proceed as you see fit... you are like a force of nature in many respects, my friend, and one that I am constantly awed to witness. |
| 65208 You have returned, my friend. I take it that you have a need of me? I am more than willing to serve. |
| 65209 Yes... join with me again, Cernd. |
| 65210 Not just yet. Wait a while more. |
| 65211 Not just yet. Wait a while longer. |
| 65212 That does not bother me in the slightest. Return when you wish. I find this strange plane of yours rather... fascinating. |
| 65213 Than I shall harbor my patience and endurance as do the trees. Return when you will, my friend, and I shall endeavor to serve you then if I am able. |
| 65214 What? Here?! I hope this is important, you insufferable monkey! I was in the middle of a very important transaction! (And to think I had the wench bargained down to 3 gold for the night! Bah!) |
| 65215 Don't backtalk me, wizard. I haven't the patience for your insults. |
| 65216 You don't seem very surprised. Do you even know where you are? |
| 65217 I need you to join me, Edwin. |
| 65218 Oh-ho! Have you traded in a few of your magical trinkets in exchange for a backbone? I trust you've brought me here because you have need of my unequaled spellcasting skills, yes? |
| 65219 Do you even know where "here" is? |
| 65220 Yes, I have. But not for your mouth... so join me and be quiet for once. |
| 65221 Yes, I have. I have need of a good wizard. |
| 65222 Hmph. With you, I could find myself in the midst of some dungheap in Tiamat's personal latrine, and I wouldn't bat an eyelash in surprise. So out with it, monkey-breath, before I lose patience! |
| 65223 I need you to join the group. And you'll do so quietly lest *I* lose patience. |
| 65224 I need you to join me. I require a good wizard. |
| 65225 Well, of course you do. There is none better than I when it comes to the magical arts, and it is good you recognize your superiors. |
| 65226 Yes, yes! Will you help or not? |
| 65227 You are a raving egomaniac! |
| 65228 I will. (For the bountiful treasure and magic that follows this buffoon if nothing else!) But don't annoy me further! |
| 65229 Oh, fine, fine! Kick around Edwin, is it?! Were it not for the gobs of wealth and magic that seem to fall into your lap wherever you go, I would never tolerate such insolence! (As it is, just waiiit until you sleep...) |
| 65230 I may. Wait here, and I'll talk to you later. |
| 65231 I need you to wait here. I'll deal with you later. |
| 65232 Wait here and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65233 An outrage! Summoned against my will only to idle away the hours in some hellish prison?! What do you expect me to do with my time? Play chess with the local cockroaches?! Bah! |
| 65234 Back again? (I knew my superior skills would be needed sooner or later. They always do.) I demand an apology for this outrage! Forced to stand about like some hireling at your beck and call! Such impudence! |
| 65235 I tire of your demands. Get in the party and shut up for once. |
| 65236 Fine, fine. I apologize. Now will you join me or not? |
| 65237 How about you just wait here a while longer while I think about it? |
| 65238 What?! Aaargh! (I swear, one day I'll turn this monkey into a... a blind vole! Or a green slime! Or a slug ready to be ground to a pulpy mess under my bootheel, ah yes!) |
| 65239 One might assume that there is some logic behind asking such a skilled wizard as I to leave... but I shall be damned if I can figure it out. |
| 65240 Never mind. Stay with me for now. |
| 65241 Just wait here for a while. |
| 65242 I'll send you back to the pocket plane... wait for me there. |
| 65243 Well, certainly! There is sooo much to keep a great magus such as myself busy here. Look! A rock! How fascinating! |
| 65244 You have regained your senses and finally recognized my indispensability. This is good! This is good... (Another hour of standing about, I swear, and poof! Fireball!) |
| 65245 Uhhh... okay, yeah. Glad to have you back. |
| 65246 Let's go. |
| 65247 Actually, just continue waiting here a while longer. |
| 65248 Oh, good. Here I was thinking I would not have enough time to finish my treatise on the rate of grass growth. (Damned monkeys should be drawn and quartered! All of them!) |
| 65249 Oh? Back on the planes, is it? Swept off the Prime and whisked away like a soaring eagle into new adventure! Ha ha... Glad I am to see you, my raven! |
| 65250 You seem pleased to be here. |
| 65251 Well, I'm not overly glad to see you. And stop calling me raven. |
| 65252 I need your help, Haer'Dalis. |
| 65253 And why should I not be? Time is an inconstant mistress, good friend, and old disagreements are washed away along with her into oblivion. This bard looks forward to your tale like none other! |
| 65254 Then join with me and let's go. |
| 65255 Then wait here and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65256 Why such a sour face, my friend? Are not old disagreements dissolved with the passing of time, eroded and chipped until they are nothing? This bard, for one, looks forward to the continuation of your tale. |
| 65257 Then join me and let's go. |
| 65258 Then wait here and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65259 And my help is gladly and freely given, my friend! From one dark cavern to the next, the blades of Haer'Dalis shall e'er stand ready to face danger at your side! |
| 65260 If you'll promise not to be so overbearingly cheerful, then join me. |
| 65261 Excellent, let's go! |
| 65262 Then wait here for a while and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65263 Well, so long as you promise not to be so insufferably cheerful, join me. |
| 65264 Well, so long as you promise not to be so insufferably cheerful, join me. |
| 65265 The tale begins to spin again! Ha ha! 'Tis a marvelous life, <CHARNAME>, do not convince yourself otherwise! |
| 65266 If you wish, I'll sing tales of woe instead. Melancholy ballads will fill the halls where e'er we pass, sending bystanders into fits of despair. Oh, and then there's the killing... you are rather fond of that, my raven, no? |
| 65267 Well, 'tis not quite so interesting to stand about in a miniature plane... but this sparrow is pleased enough to watch your tale from afar for now. |
| 65268 *chuckle* Ah, my raven... I look forward to joining you in the next chapter of your great adventure! If you'll have me, of course. |
| 65269 Fine. Just don't be so insufferably cheerful. |
| 65270 Of course... join me and let's go. |
| 65271 Not just yet. Continue waiting a while longer. |
| 65272 As you wish, my friend. 'Tis a quiet enough place to write my ballads, if I wish. I'll not moon about for the lack. |
| 65273 You wish a change of pace, my friend? Is the sparrow to leave the stage for a while? |
| 65274 No, my mistake. Stay with me for now. |
| 65275 Yes, just wait here. |
| 65276 Yes. I'll send you back to the pocket plane... wait for me there. |
| 65277 If that is your wish, my raven, then let it be so. Haer'Dalis shall stand guard until you call upon him once again! |
| 65278 Ah, my raven... I look forward to joining you in the next chapter of your great adventure! If you'll have me, of course. |
| 65279 I will... join me and let's go. |
| 65280 Actually, continue waiting here a while longer. |
| 65281 I knew that I'd see you again! Last time we split up, I just knew that wasn't the last time! Oh, you sure are a sight for sore eyes, let me tell you. |
| 65282 How have you been, Imoen? |
| 65283 Me? Why? What have you been doing? |
| 65284 Cut the chatter, girl, and don't bug me. |
| 65285 Oh... I haven't been doing anything special. It's just that... some strange stuff has started happening to me. I've been having... odd dreams. |
| 65286 It's not like after Irenicus had us either. This is different. I... I didn't believe I was a Bhaalspawn. Not even after Irenicus said so, not really. But now I do. |
| 65287 The feelings... it's... it's hard to describe. But you probably know all about it, huh? I don't know how you went through it, I really don't. |
| 65288 Sorry. I'll help you, if you want... I always have. And I'll try not to get in your way. |
| 65289 Come with me, then. |
| 65290 I didn't ask for your life story. |
| 65291 I need you to wait here for a while... I'll deal with you later. |
| 65292 Come with me, then. |
| 65293 I need you to wait here for a while... I'll deal with you later. |
| 65294 Wait here? This... this place. It's so familiar somehow. It's not even scary. I guess I can wait here, if that's what you want. |
| 65295 So, do you need me now? I'd be happy to tag along. |
| 65296 Yes, come along. |
| 65297 No, continue waiting here for a while. |
| 65298 Okay. Just... just don't leave me here, please. I... I can feel that something is going on, something really important. I should be a part of it. |
| 65299 You want me to go? Are you sure? Ah... part of me feels that I need to be with you, that something important is happening. But... if you're sure... |
| 65300 Perhaps not. Stay with me, then. |
| 65301 I'm sure. Just wait here for a while. |
| 65302 I'll send you back to the pocket plane. Wait for me there. |
| 65303 Allâ€â€all right. Just don't leave me here... please. I don't think I could stand it, just standing around while everything is going on. |
| 65304 'Bout time you got back! I was getting all jittery. |
| 65305 Join the party again, then. |
| 65306 Just wait here a while longer. |
| 65307 Okay, If you say so. |
| 65308 It is... good to see you again. After we parted ways last, I had the strange feeling that you had... but no. You are alive and well, I see. Obviously, I was mistaken. |
| 65309 Not entirely... but it's a long story. |
| 65310 It's good to see you, too, Jaheira. I missed you. |
| 65311 Let's skip the pleasantries. I wouldn't have summoned you without need. |
| 65312 Things with you are always complicated. I have heard much of late of the cries against the children... I expect things have only gotten worse with you, haven't they? |
| 65313 I don't know about worse, but I do need you in the party. |
| 65315 Perhaps. Wait here for a while... I will deal with you soon. |
| 65316 And I you. We have been apart for far too long... it does my heart good to see that you are still well, <CHARNAME>. Will I be traveling with you, then? |
| 65317 Of course. Let's go. |
| 65318 Not just yet... wait here a while. |
| 65319 It's been worse without you at my side. I missed you. |
| 65320 I see little about you has changed. I am willing to aid you, <CHARNAME>, if for no other reason than the pledge I made to Gorion. I hope he was correct about you. |
| 65321 Join the party, then, and let's go. |
| 65322 Wait here for a while... I will deal with you soon. |
| 65323 I am willing to fight at your side, <CHARNAME>. You will need loyal companions if you are to face the time that is surely ahead... I hope it is not as dire as I fear. |
| 65324 This is an odd place to wait... but with you, I suppose there is little that should surprise me. Very well, I shall do as you ask. |
| 65325 Do you need my assistance? Traveling again would be preferable to standing about idly. |
| 65326 Yes, join with me and let's go. |
| 65327 Yes, join with me and let's go. |
| 65328 Not just yet. Wait here a while longer. |
| 65329 It shall be a relief to travel with you again, <CHARNAME>. There is much to be done, and I hope that we will be equal to the task. |
| 65330 As you direct. I suppose I have little choice in the matter. |
| 65331 What have you decided, then? Am I to leave the group for a time? I am not sure this is wise. |
| 65332 Perhaps you are right. Stay with the party, then. |
| 65333 Just wait here for a while. |
| 65334 I'll send you back to the pocket plane... wait for me there. |
| 65335 If you are certain, then very well. I hope you do not intend to leave me here for long, however. |
| 65336 You... wish me to leave the group? Are you certain? Iâ€â€I would rather stay by your side if at all possible. |
| 65337 My mistake. Stay with the group, Jaheira. |
| 65338 Just wait here... I'll be back. |
| 65339 I'll send you back to the pocket plane... wait for me there. |
| 65340 You had better. If you don't, I will hunt you down. |
| 65341 Ah! Is it time for me to rejoin you? I hope so; I was beginning to get impatient standing about idle like this. |
| 65342 Yes, let's go. |
| 65343 Not just yet... wait here a while longer. |
| 65344 *sigh* As you direct. |
| 65345 Oh? Is it that time already? |
| 65346 You don't seem very surprised, Jan. |
| 65347 It's time to join me, yes. But no idiocy from you, gnome. |
| 65348 That's all you have to say? Did you know you were coming? |
| 65349 Well, it's like my Uncle Spanky used to say... there's just no point in wetting your pants and screaming if you suddenly find yourself on another plane. Especially if you're dead. What kind of a start to the afterlife would that be? Better to just look like you know what you're doing and impress the hell out of everyone. Of course, Uncle Spanky didn't often follow his own advice. He was once laughed off of Mount Celestial by a pair of mischievous planetars, I hear. (Bastards!) |
| 65350 Good to see you too, Jan. I need your help. |
| 65351 All right, all right, enough. I need your help, Jan. |
| 65352 Not more of your horrid stories. Listen, gnome, get in the party and keep your mouth shut for once. |
| 65353 Oh, is this how it's going to be? Insult the poor gnome and then tell him to get in the party? Hmph. Like I haven't anything better to do. Well, okay, so maybe I haven't. Turnip market's gone all to heck... might as well hook up with you again. |
| 65354 Fine. Let's go. |
| 65355 Wait here for a while, then. I'll deal with you later. |
| 65356 Time for a little adventure, is it? I figured as much. I saw some ogres down in Amn capture a poor Bhaalspawn... a kobold, that one. My, but that Bhaal got around, didn't he? Anyway, they were stewing him in a big iron pot, and I thought to myself, "Jan, my boy, that's adventure you're smelling." |
| 65357 Okay, let's go then. |
| 65358 That's horrible! |
| 65359 Just wait here for a while, then. I'll deal with you later. |
| 65360 Always willing to wait around in a good pocket plane. Plenty of places to explore, lots of loose pocket change. See you later. Send for turnips if you have the time. |
| 65361 Not as horrible as the stew. Very bland. No salt. |
| 65362 That reminds me of that turnip beer-cake you foisted on me at Ma Jansen's place. |
| 65363 Well, that happens to be Aunt Petunia's special recipe, my dear <PRO_MANWOMAN>, and I'll thank you not to disparage it. I bet she could make something a mite tastier out of a Bhaalspawn kobold too, given the chance. Now are we going or what? |
| 65364 Certainly. Let's go. |
| 65365 Not just yet. Wait here awhile. |
| 65366 Well, I've found six coppers, an old chicken leg, and a full deck of cards so far. Quite the messy pocket plane you have here. Is it time to travel, or are you in for a wicked game of canasta? |
| 65367 It's time to travel. Let's go. |
| 65368 Actually, just wait here a while longer. |
| 65369 Solitaire it is. See you later. |
| 65370 Against all my better judgment, I'll give you a second chance to change your mind. How about it? Two turnips and I stay? Three? |
| 65371 Three turnips, eh? Hand them over. |
| 65372 Never mind. Stay with the party, Jan. |
| 65373 Just wait here for a while. |
| 65374 I'm sending you back to the pocket plane... wait there. |
| 65375 "Just wait here for a while." That's what Uncle Eichenwacher used to say when he tried to lose me in the old swamps. I never liked him much. |
| 65376 *snore* ...oh, w-what?! Is it time to go already? |
| 65377 Yes, let's go. |
| 65378 No, just wait here awhile longer. |
| 65379 You woke me up to tell me *that*? Sheesh. |
| 65380 So it has come to this. I have heard the cries raised up against the Bhaalspawn across the land, and I thought of you. I am pleased to see you unharmed. Have you a need, then, for an old paladin? |
| 65381 Yes, I do. Your aid would be helpful. |
| 65382 Yes, I do. Your aid would be helpful. |
| 65383 What does the Order have to say about me? |
| 65384 I can use your help... if you can control your judgmental side. |
| 65385 I am willing to stand by your side, yes. It is my hope that you will continue to battle against the dark forces which rage in your soul. You have done much that is worthy, after all, and I could do no less than support you. |
| 65390 Then join with me and let's go. |
| 65391 Then wait here for now. I will deal with you later. |
| 65392 So much for your idea to work with Gromnir. What now? |
| 65393 You have much that is dark within your soul. It is my hope that, in the end, you will serve the good whether you intend to or not. It is not my place to stand as your judge, so I can do no less than stand by your side. |
| 65394 Gromnir gave me no choice. I never even had a chance to reason with him. |
| 65395 You talk like I had a choice. The fool was too far gone. |
| 65396 Then join with me and let's go. |
| 65397 Then wait here for now. I will deal with you later. |
| 65398 The Order bids its members to be wary. It calls you dangerous, a threat to the stability of the land. And it is right, <CHARNAME>. Whether you serve the good or evil, the Order is correct in this judgment. |
| 65399 So will you help me, then, or not? |
| 65400 So will you help me, then, or not? |
| 65401 I have restrictions that are placed upon me by the very position that I hold. I cannot control this any more than you can control the stranglehold that your strange, divine blood has upon your destiny. |
| 65402 I thought Gromnir's guards took you away. |
| 65403 Does that mean you will help me or not? |
| 65404 Does that mean you will help me or not? |
| 65405 As you wish. Lead on, my friend. |
| 65406 You wish me to wait here? I would serve better, I think, either at your side or at home with my family. But if you feel this is best, I will remain here for the moment. |
| 65409 Is it time for us to go? Call it the vanity of an old veteran, if you will, but I have the sense that great danger lies ahead for us yet. |
| 65410 Mass Raise Dead |
| 65411 I am not without my own resources, <CHARNAME>. Gromnir's men left me in my cell when the battle started. I escaped as soon as I could, but I was too late. I... suppose this was inevitable. |
| 65412 Let's go, then. |
| 65413 Actually, continue waiting here for a while yet. |
| 65414 If you feel it must be so. Take care, then, my friend. |
| 65415 Mass Raise Dead (Necromancy) Level: 7 Sphere: Necromantic Range: 30 ft. Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: Up to 5 party members Saving Throw: None A more powerful version of Raise Dead, this spell brings up to 5 party members back to life and heals 3d10+1 Hit Points per level of the caster. They can regain the rest of their Hit Points by natural healing or curative magic. This spell restores life to dwarves, gnomes, half-elves, halflings, elves, half-orcs, and humans. |
| 65416 I trust your tactical decisions, my friend. If you feel we must part ways for the moment, then I will go. |
| 65421 No, stay with the party for now. |
| 65423 Just wait here for a while, Keldorn. |
| 65424 I'll send you to the pocket plane... wait there for me. |
| 65425 Aye, I shall do as you ask. Stay safe, my friend... and do not be gone too long. |
| 65428 Is it time for us to go? Call it the vanity of an old veteran, if you will, but I have the sense that great danger lies ahead for us yet. |
| 65429 Yes, let's go. |
| 65430 Continue waiting here awhile yet. |
| 65431 If you feel it must be so. Take care, then, my friend. |
| 65432 I knew the chance of Gromnir joining you was slim, <CHARNAME>, but I thought he might listen to reason. I was desperate to end this siege, and I... I was wrong. I'm sorry. |
| 65433 Dang and bloody blast it! I swear I be thrice-damned the way ye yank me about from one place to the bloody next e'er since we met! What does ye want now?! |
| 65434 Critical Strike |
| 65438 Assassination |
| 65439 Now I fear we are all doomed. There is no way out of Saradush. Between the army and the strange imprisoning magics, even our wizards are trapped here. |
| 65440 I need you to join the party, Korgan. |
| 65441 Keep your temper reined in, dwarf. |
| 65442 I might be able to help, Melissan. I know a way to escape the city. |
| 65443 I'll tell you what I want, and you'll do as I say... or you'll be stuck here. |
| 65444 Threats, is it? Har har har! Now I remember why I liked ye. Well, if there's to be an adventure with gold an' loot to be pillaged, then me axe be bloody ready for ye. That good enough for ye, groundling? |
| 65445 There is yet hope, Melissan. I am able to leave the city at will. |
| 65446 Use Any Item |
| 65447 You all may be trapped here, but I'm not. I can leave Saradush anytime I want to. |
| 65448 It is. Join up and let's go. |
| 65450 You... can leave Saradush? Yes, of course... you found your way into the city; it is only logical to expect you can find your way out. Why didn't I think of that earlier? |
| 65451 Fine. Wait here for a while, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65452 Me temper shall go where it pleases... and me axe will bloody well follow. If ye want me axe put anywhere but in yer skull, groundling, ye'll keep out of me way. Got it? |
| 65454 You cross me, dwarf, and you'll be stuck in this plane without a way out. Got it? |
| 65456 Fine, fine. Let's just go. |
| 65457 As you say. Just wait here awhile, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65458 Oh? Needs me axe, does ye? Fair enough. So long as there's ample reward behind yer silver tongue. Ye does a fair amount o' killing anyway, as I recall... enough t' catch me fancy, if ye knows what I mean. Har har! |
| 65460 Fine, let's just go. |
| 65462 All right. Wait here awhile, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65463 If you can leave... then the city can still be saved! They have endured so much; we must help them! <CHARNAME>, if you can leave, then only you have the means to do that! |
| 65464 Good. I were tryin' to round up a new group o' fellows back in Amn, an' it were not going me way. Two mouthy candidates killed an' all I got to show fer it is a bloody headache and an itchy axe. Let's go kill something, aye? |
| 65465 I would help these people, but I'm not sure that I can, Melissan. |
| 65466 You wants me to wait in this pulsating dung-hole, does ye? Aye, I'll do it. Leave me here too long an' I'll start chopping me way out, I'm warning ye. |
| 65467 Why do that? I could always try to bring you and the Bhaalspawn elsewhere. You could flee. |
| 65468 What makes you think I will risk my neck for this place, Melissan? |
| 65469 Understand, <CHARNAME>, that this siege is but the beginning. Until this threat is ended, it doesn't matter where we go... we are in danger of being exterminated by Yaga-Shura and his allies. |
| 65470 What is it then? Speak up! |
| 65471 It's time to go. Come along. |
| 65472 Just continue waiting here awhile. |
| 65473 Then why did ye bloody well bother me again?! Shove off and come back when ye have a point to it. |
| 65475 Eventually, even you would be overwhelmed by their power. I... I know more about them, <CHARNAME>. More than I'm saying. But... I won't tell you everything unless you try to save Saradush. |
| 65476 Either I be bloody out or I be bloody in! Make up yer girlish mind! I got better things to do with me axe. |
| 65477 Stay with the group, then. |
| 65478 Just wait here for a while. |
| 65479 I'll send you back to the pocket plane. Wait for me there. |
| 65480 Because that's what Korgan is bloody good for, eh? Standin' around and sharpenin' his axe. Fine, fine, get off and go do what ye has to, then. |
| 65481 You do not have to bargain with me, Melissan. I would help these people no matter what the circumstances. |
| 65482 You tread a thin line. I dislike being manipulated... by anyone. |
| 65483 I see... you tell me nothing and force me into helping you regardless of my own desires. |
| 65484 It is not my first choice to do this, <CHARNAME>. However, in my dealings with the children of Bhaal, I have learned that... sometimes... the ends must justify the means. |
| 65485 Aye? Does ye wish me to wait about? I can do it... though I hates to be left out of a bloody good fight. |
| 65486 No, stay with the group. |
| 65487 Yes, just wait here for a while. |
| 65488 I'll send you back to the pocket plane... wait for me there. |
| 65489 Aye, all right, if ye thinks it be right. Don't get bloody chopped up, aye? Heh heh. |
| 65490 Tell me what is to be done, Melissan, and I shall strive with all my power to bring it about. |
| 65491 Time for me axe to be put back into action, aye? |
| 65492 It looks like I am again left with little choice in my course. What do I do? |
| 65493 Yes, let's go. |
| 65494 Actually, just wait here for a while longer. |
| 65495 I will help you, but only because it might end up saving my own neck. |
| 65496 Then why did ye bloody well bother me again?! Shove off and come back when ye have a point to it. |
| 65503 Even if it were possible for you to destroy an entire army, <CHARNAME>, that would not save the town from being razed. There is, however, another solution. |
| 65514 The army itself is immaterial. If you fought your way to Yaga-Shura himself and defeated him, the force would collapse. But that's... not a simple matter. He is a powerful fire giant, to begin with... |
| 65516 Then perhaps I shall challenge him to single combat. |
| 65517 A giant? Wellâ€â€the bigger they are, the harder they fall, right? |
| 65518 Is it any more an abomination than a Bhaalspawn <PRO_RACE>? Bhaal was a god of pure evilâ€â€his taint is an abomination in any form. |
| 65519 Fair enough. But a giant is no more difficult to kill than any other creature. |
| 65521 It is not that simple, <CHARNAME>. Like you, Yaga-Shura is one of the most powerful Bhaalspawn to walk the realms. I know not what "gifts" your blood has passed on to you, but I can tell you something of his. |
| 65522 This... this is a strange place that you've brought me to, my friend. I have little doubt that it's for a good reason. Do you require my assistance, or is there some other purpose to your summoning? |
| 65523 I need your help, Mazzy. |
| 65524 I need your help, Mazzy. |
| 65525 I could use you in my party, minus your attitude, halfling. |
| 65526 The giant seems to be invulnerable to harm. Arrows, bladesâ€â€even the most powerful of our spells and enchanted weapons leave no permanent mark. He heals faster than we can wound him. |
| 65527 It is good to see you again, Mazzy. Everything is well? |
| 65528 Everything is as well as can be expected, <CHARNAME>. I still miss my poor Patrick greatly... but I am sure you did not bring me here for a mere social call. What is it you wish? |
| 65529 I need your help, Mazzy. |
| 65530 I need your help, Mazzy. |
| 65531 If that is the way you are going to speak to me, then I am hardly inclined to help you. Your evil nature has too much control over you. While that makes me pity you, I cannot excuse it. Apologize or I leave. |
| 65532 Are you saying Yaga-Shura is invincible? |
| 65533 I don't need your pity, and I won't apologize. Get in the party and shut up. |
| 65534 Fine, I apologize. Now will you help me? |
| 65535 Well, Yaga-Shura hasn't run into weapons like the ones I wield! |
| 65536 And where are you going to go? You're stuck here until I say otherwise. |
| 65537 You have often proven yourself a decent person and a worthy companion despite your heritage. I am willing to aid you and travel together again if you are. |
| 65538 Certainly. Let's go. |
| 65539 Wait here awhile, and I will deal with you later. |
| 65540 I have my doubts as to how sincere you are, <CHARNAME>. Too often have I seen the signs of your evil heritage in your actions. But what kind of Truesword would I be if I did not attempt to sway you from evil? I will accompany you, if you wish. |
| 65541 How am I supposed to kill someone who is immune to harm? |
| 65542 Excellent, let's go. |
| 65543 Wait here for a while, and I will deal with you later. |
| 65544 Base, craven cur! I am no slave, and I will not be insulted or threatened! Either prove that you can control your evil blood or I will be forced to end your life! |
| 65545 Hear me, <CHARNAME>. You are not the first to think such. Yaga-Shura will be unharmed by your assault, and he will defeat you as he has defeated them. Trust me. |
| 65546 Bring it on, poseur! |
| 65547 I'm not apologizing. You can just sit there and think about your options. |
| 65548 Fine, I apologize, Mazzy. Now will you help me? |
| 65549 This seems like a most unpleasant place to pass the time. But I shall wait until I am needed. |
| 65550 If he's so invulnerable, then, what do you propose? |
| 65551 I shall tolerate no more! On your guard, fiend! |
| 65554 Yes? Do you require my presence in the party, then? |
| 65556 Yes, let's go. |
| 65557 Actually, continue waiting for a while. |
| 65559 Truly? If I am not needed, I would almost prefer to return to Trademeet. Seeing as home is so far away, however, it seems I am left with little choice. |
| 65560 Have you decided I am needed elsewhere? I would prefer to stay with the group if at all possible. |
| 65562 Yes, stay with the group for now. |
| 65563 Just wait here for a while. |
| 65564 I will send you back to the pocket plane... wait there. |
| 65565 Yaga-Shura was not born with this immunity. He developed it... learned it... somehow during his childhood spent in a secret glade in the Forest of Mir. |
| 65566 Truly? If I am not needed, I would almost prefer to return to Trademeet. Seeing as home is so far away, however, it seems I am left with little choice. |
| 65567 It is good to see you again, my friend. Is it time to leave? |
| 65568 Yes, let's go. |
| 65569 No, wait here a while longer. |
| 65570 As you wish, although I must say I'm not one for standing around. |
| 65571 I can show you where that glade is... but it is only speculation. The key to the giant's invulnerability might lie there, but it might not. There may be nothing there at all. |
| 65572 And if that's the case? |
| 65573 Then there is only one other place to look, though it is far more dangerous. Yaga-Shura has attracted a large number of fanatical devotees of his kind. They worship him as a god, as you can well imagine. |
| 65577 They built a temple to him in the Marching Mountains. Many of them are in his army now... that may mean the temple is vulnerable to your attack. Perhaps Yaga-Shura's secret lies there; I don't know. |
| 65578 This all seems pretty iffy. What makes you think any of this will pan out? |
| 65579 Fine. I will accept your mission and find a way to destroy the "invincible" Yaga-Shura. |
| 65580 I'll kill Yaga-Shura. But once the deed is done, I better get something in return! |
| 65581 Because if it doesn't, <CHARNAME>, then all the poor Bhaalspawn that I have tried to aid, including you, are doomed. Yaga-Shura and his allies will have their way. We must have hope. |
| 65582 Eh? Where have you brought us, Boo? I am duly impressed by your show of great powers, but a little forewarning would have been nice. No matter! Wherever evil treads, Minsc treads louder! |
| 65583 I... know it is much to ask of you. Whether it means anything to you or not: Thank you. Now... I must attend to the wall's defenses. However you leave, I suggest you do so as soon as possible. |
| 65584 Godspeed, <CHARNAME>. I pray you succeed in your mission, for all our sakes. |
| 65585 Hey! Over here, brainiac. |
| 65586 I have made the outcome of this event my life's work, <CHARNAME>. What I know you will find valuable, trust me. It will shape your destiny, and that of all Faerûn as well. |
| 65587 It's good to see you again, Minsc. |
| 65588 Ooo! Look who you have found, Boo, with your unerring sense of hamster direction! It is our good friend, <CHARNAME>! A reunion of heroes! May all that is evil quiver before us like so much rancid jelly, ha! |
| 65589 Fine, fine. A reunion. Just keep your bellowing to a minimum. |
| 65590 It's good to have you back! I trust Boo is well? |
| 65591 You don't seem very surprised to be here. |
| 65592 Boo's nose twitches at your derision. See? Look at him twitch! If you are not careful, Boo will take us elsewhere to fight evil. I cannot control him when he gets like this! |
| 65593 *sigh* Fine, fine. Get in the party and let's go. |
| 65594 Saradush under siege With Gromnir dead, Melissan feels there is but one hope to save Saradush: Slay Yaga-Shura, fire giant leader of the army besieging the city. Melissan believes the death of their leader will demoralize the army, and they will give up their attempts to breach the defenses of Saradush. I can use my pocket plane special ability to get out of the city. |
| 65595 I'm sorry, Minsc. And Boo. I trust everything has been all right with you two? |
| 65596 Wait here for a while, then. I'll, uh, leave you two alone. |
| 65597 Boo is healthy and eager to resume the battle! It is why he has brought me here, no doubt. To team up with you again and send evil men scampering all weasel-like into what holes they can find! |
| 65598 Smite |
| 65599 Enhanced Bard Song |
| 65600 Sounds good. Let's go. |
| 65601 All right... wait here awhile, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65602 Why would I be surprised? Boo points, and I follow! Boo is the navigator, and I am the ship! Boo is the sword arm, and I am the sword! Well, I have a mighty sword arm too, but you get the picture. |
| 65603 Sure do. Let's go, Minsc. |
| 65604 Just wait here, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65605 Very well. Boo and I will scour the area for evil. It cannot hide from us! Do you hear that, evil?! We are coming for you! |
| 65606 Minsc and Boo stand at the ready! Yeah! |
| 65607 All right, then, let's go. |
| 65608 Wait here for a while longer. |
| 65609 Good, good! Boo thought he was smelling nuts earlier. It is something that bears further investigation. |
| 65610 Is this the end of our heroic tale? I would be sad at such goodbyes, but Boo says I should not be such a great smelly baby. |
| 65611 No, stay with the party for now. |
| 65612 Just wait here awhile, Minsc. |
| 65613 I'll send you back to the pocket plane... wait there. |
| 65614 It shall be as you say! We shall wait for another reunion, Boo and I. |
| 65615 Aha! Our good friend returns! Minsc and Boo are ready to take the boot to the black butt of evil! |
| 65616 Let's go, then. |
| 65617 Keep waiting here awhile, then. |
| 65618 This must be a place of great importance, then. We shall guard it with our lives! |
| 65619 I see we meet again. I had foreseen that such an event would take place... I should've known that it would be soon, with the Bhaalspawn incidents increasing so rapidly. |
| 65620 Nalia? You seem... different. |
| 65621 You might consider me to be a... guardian, for want of a better term. I know the prophecies of Alaundo. I know some feel they allude to the return of Bhaal to the realms. |
| 65623 I am not the frightened girl you remember meeting. Or do you? I perceive that I have not been transported here so much as my history has been slightly altered... including my own experience of it. |
| 65624 You are more powerful than I thought if you are able to do this. I suspect, however, that you are not yet fully in control of your abilities. What a terror you will be when you are. |
| 65625 As for myself, yes... I am changed. In the short time since I knew you, I have become an archmage with real power. It is those talents you need, is it not? I presume that is why I am here. |
| 65626 Good. I like you better like this. |
| 65627 I think I liked the old, caring Nalia better. |
| 65628 Yes, I need the aid of a good mage. |
| 65629 I did not change for your benefit, <CHARNAME>. The Cowled Wizards do not like me like this, nor do my relatives. But I am able to do far more for the common good now. |
| 65630 Well, I need a good mage in the party. |
| 65631 I could use your help, if you're willing. |
| 65632 I still care, <CHARNAME>. The Cowled Wizards and my noble relatives might oppose my delving into the arts, but I can do far more for the common good now than before. |
| 65635 Well, I need a good mage in the party. |
| 65636 I could use your help, if you're willing. |
| 65637 I am a bit... wary... of involving myself in your struggle, <CHARNAME>. To try and avoid it is to fight fate, however. I suppose I can only hope that good comes of it in the end. |
| 65639 All right, let's go then. |
| 65640 Wait here awhile, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65641 I hope you did not arrange for me to be here just to leave me on this plane. Or something worse. Very well... I will wait. |
| 65643 Hello again. Have you found a need for me yet, or am I to continue waiting? |
| 65644 Yes, come with me now. |
| 65645 Wait here a while longer. |
| 65647 I don't see what good I'm doing here. But I suppose some reading time is not going to kill me. |
| 65648 You want me to leave? I'll follow your lead, so whatever you decide is fine. |
| 65649 No, stay with the group for now. |
| 65650 Wait here for a while. |
| 65651 I'll send you back to the pocket plane... wait there. |
| 65652 I don't see what good I can be to anyone just standing around. But I'm sure you have your reasons, so I'll do as you ask. |
| 65653 It's good to see you again. I was beginning to get a bit worried. Is it time to go? |
| 65654 Yes, let's go. |
| 65655 Not yet. Wait here a while longer. |
| 65656 *sigh* All right. I guess it's back to studying my spellbook. What I wouldn't give for a decent laboratory. |
| 65660 Well. There's quite a few things that I could have named off as being possible to happen before the end of the day. Meeting you again wouldn't have been one of them. ...Where are we? |
| 65663 It's a long story, Valygar. |
| 65664 Well, it's good to see you again, regardless of the circumstances. |
| 65666 I wouldn't have called you if it weren't important. |
| 65667 Oh, of that I have no doubt. I always get dragged into events full of strange magic, whether I like it or not. |
| 65668 Well, it's good to see you again, regardless of the circumstances. |
| 65669 I need your help, Valygar. |
| 65670 I need a ranger in the party. |
| 65671 It's... good to see you too, <CHARNAME>. I must admit, I've thought about you since we last met. I would like to travel with you again. |
| 65672 Well, it's good to see you again, regardless of the circumstances. |
| 65673 Well, it's good to see you again, regardless of the circumstances. |
| 65674 I would return your greeting a little more heartily if I didn't wonder what was in store for me, <CHARNAME>. You need an adventuring companion? |
| 65675 Yes, that's it exactly. |
| 65676 I need a ranger. |
| 65677 Good... let's go, then. |
| 65678 Wait here for a while, then, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65679 I've never been one to turn down an adventure, to be honest. And I suspect you just may need my help, after all. I'll join you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 65680 Good, let's go. |
| 65681 Wait here awhile, then, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65682 So it's like that, is it? Well, I can't say that I have any great objections to adventure. And I'd hesitate to ask what the alternatives are. Very well, <CHARNAME>, one ranger you have. |
| 65683 Good, let's go. |
| 65684 Wait here, then, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65685 Hurry up and wait, eh? I'm a patient man... I can wait awhile, if that's what you want. |
| 65686 Hm? Have you changed your mind? You want me to join you now? |
| 65687 Yes, let's go. |
| 65688 Not yet. Wait here a while longer. |
| 65689 If you like. It's not exactly the largest place to explore, but I'll find something to do in the meantime. |
| 65690 I'm not averse to being on my own for a while, if that's what you want. Your decision. |
| 65691 No, stay with the group for now. |
| 65692 Just wait here, then. |
| 65693 I'll send you back to the pocket plane... wait there. |
| 65694 All right. I hope to see you later. |
| 65695 Are... are you sure you want to part ways? I'd hate it if anything happened to you and I wasn't there. |
| 65696 Stay with the group, then, my mistake. |
| 65697 Just wait here awhile. I'll be back. |
| 65698 I'll send you back to the pocket plane... wait for me there. |
| 65699 See you soon, then. Take care of yourself. |
| 65700 Good to see you again. Do you need me back in the group? |
| 65701 Yes, let's go. |
| 65702 Not yet. Wait here a while longer. |
| 65703 I'm relieved to see you still well. I hate to admit it, but I worry about you. Do you need me to rejoin you yet? |
| 65704 Yes, let's go. |
| 65705 Not yet, wait here a while longer. |
| 65706 No problem. I'll be fine. |
| 65707 So. The abbil calls, and I come. Shall I play the part of a slavish dog? Is that what you think to make of me by this summoning? |
| 65708 You'll do what I tell you to, and you'll like it. |
| 65709 You'll do what I tell you to, and you'll like it. |
| 65710 Not at all. I need your help. |
| 65711 Nice to see you, too, Viconia. |
| 65712 Mmmmm. Now that is the mrann d'ssinss that I remember. Tell me why I am here. My powers are required on some dangerous escapade? |
| 65713 That's it exactly. |
| 65714 Not at all. I just missed your regular abuse. |
| 65715 I may allow you to command me, but you should be wary. Lil alurl velve zhah lil velkyn uss. "The best knife is the unseen one." Am I to join your little group? |
| 65716 I need a good cleric. |
| 65717 Yes, now get in the party and keep your mouth shut. |
| 65718 Yes, now get in the party and keep your mouth shut. |
| 65719 My help? Ah, it must be because the drow are so renowned for their sense of nobility. So be it, <CHARNAME>. I am willing to join with you again... for now. |
| 65720 Good, let's go. |
| 65721 Wait here awhile, then... I will deal with you later. |
| 65722 Your sarcasm is not lost on me, dalhar. Tell me, then... why summon me at all? Perhaps you have found some use for me that I am unaware of? |
| 65723 I need your help, Viconia. |
| 65724 Yes, I need a good cleric. |
| 65725 Just come with me. I've enough chatter for one day. |
| 65726 Then I shall not fail you. It shall be enjoyable to stand at your side and watch your dark godsblood gain its full power. |
| 65727 Good, let's go then. |
| 65728 Wait here awhile, and I'll deal with you later. |
| 65729 I enjoy one who is assertive, but do not cross the line, wael. I shall enjoy watching the full power of your godsblood... but tempt me not. I will join. |
| 65730 Fine, let's go. |
| 65731 Wait here, then, and I will deal with you later. |
| 65732 You bring me only to wait about? No doubt that you plan treachery. So be it... it shall be met in kind, if that is what you aim for. |
| 65733 I can only assume that you've decided to take me with you after all? Or do you expect me to stand about until boredom strikes me down? |
| 65734 Yes, let's go. |
| 65735 Wait a while longer here. |
| 65736 Jal khaless zhah waela. I should have known better than to think you know what is best. Pfah! |
| 65737 What now? No doubt you are about to express some imperious command. Out with it, then. |
| 65738 Never mind. Stay with the group for now. |
| 65739 Wait here awhile. |
| 65740 I'm sending you back to the pocket plane... wait there. |
| 65741 At your command, of course. |
| 65742 You... wish me to leave the group? Are you certain, ssinssrigg? |
| 65743 No, stay with me for now. |
| 65744 Just wait here awhile. |
| 65745 I'm sending you back to the pocket plane... wait there. |
| 65746 As you wish. Come to no harm while we are parted and return soon. Ssussun kyorl dos. |
| 65747 Am I needed once more? You wish me to return? |
| 65748 Yes, let's go. |
| 65749 No, wait here a while longer. |
| 65750 I do not enjoy these games. Return when you have need of me. |
| 65751 By taking an active interest in the fate of Bhaal's offspringâ€â€you, and those like youâ€â€I hope to prevent the Lord of Murder from returning to the realms, in any form. |
| 65753 So you are just another person meddling in the fate of Bhaal's children. |
| 65759 How do you know so much? Why do you even care? |
| 65760 You have been watching me? For what purpose? |
| 65761 Why are Bhaal's children of such interest to you? |
| 65762 My kin may have been slain, but I am not so easily defeated! |
| 65764 So you are just another person meddling in the fate of Bhaal's children. |
| 65769 Defeating Yaga-Shura Melissan has warned me that the fire giant Bhaalspawn is immune to all weapons and magic. Unless I can find some way to overcome his resistances, any attempt to destroy him is doomed to failure. Perhaps the secret to defeating him can be found in a swamp deep within the Forest of Mir, where Yaga-Shura was raised. It is also possible that a cult of fire giants in the Marching Mountains knows a way to nullify Yaga-Shura's power. |
| 65770 Vitality Drain |
| 65772 Excuse my manners, however. I am Karthis al-Hezzar, a merchant who is just traveling through. I normally take the road through Saradush, but that's been closed with all the trouble there. |
| 65773 I'm surprised to see others in the glade, never mind soldiers. I was nervous to head this way myself, considering the glade's history and everything... but I thought at the very least trouble would steer clear of it. |
| 65774 Yes... yes, of course! I am Karthis al-Hezzar, a simple merchant. I... I normally take the road through Saradush, but I understand it's been closed with all the trouble there. |
| 65776 There is supposed to be a temple near here. Do you know of it? |
| 65777 Perhaps I could see your wares? |
| 65778 Yes, well, I'll be on my way. |
| 65779 Ice Mist |
| 65780 Ice Mist |
| 65781 I have heard that the glade was once home to a temple of the old god of murder, Bhaal. At least until his death. When he died, he took most of his followers with him, and that temple is no exception. |
| 65782 All of his clerics and assassins are supposed to have died horribly, and so they haunt the glade and Bhaal's old temple. Spirits and other things seem... drawn there as well. |
| 65783 It is a frightening place, my friend. I wouldn't stay there any longer than you needed to, if I were you. |
| 65784 Perhaps I could have a look at your wares? |
| 65785 Thank you, I'll be going. |
| 65786 Oh, of course! If I can lighten the load or perhaps pick up a few valuables, it will make this disastrous trek all the more worth it! |
| 65787 Take care of yourself then, my good <MANWOMAN>. Do be wary of anything you might see in the glade. And if you need my services, I should be around here for a while yet. |
| 65788 Greetings again to you, my good <MANWOMAN>. Still on the road, are we? |
| 65789 Do you know something about a temple in this area? |
| 65790 I'd like to see your wares, merchant. |
| 65791 I'll be on my way. |
| 65792 Halt. Go no further. I wish to speak with you, my old ward. |
| 65793 Gorion?! |
| 65794 Plague |
| 65795 I must defend the walls of Saradushâ€â€I cannot be bothered by idle chatter. |
| 65796 Killing Gromnir didn't solve our problems, Bhaalspawn. We still face daily assaults from the army beyond the gates. |
| 65797 Gromnir is a coward! We could use his men to help repel the invaders, but instead he's locked himself up inside the castle and his soldiers terrorize our citizens! |
| 65798 Even if Saradush falls, I get some satisfaction knowing I've outlived that coward Gromnir! |
| 65799 You don't look like one of the locals. Are you a child of Bhaal as well, lured here like the rest of us to face our inevitable end? |
| 65800 As well? What do you mean? |
| 65801 Yes, I am one of Bhaal's offspring. |
| 65802 No... I'm not a Bhaalspawn. Not at all. |
| 65803 I myself am one of Bhaal's progenyâ€â€or so I've been told. I guess Bhaal's blood runs thicker in some of his children than in others. |
| 65804 Uh... is there anything else I can help you with? |
| 65805 What can you tell me about Gromnir? |
| 65807 Can I ask you some questions about Melissan? |
| 65808 No, I'll just be going now. |
| 65809 I never liked Gromnir muchâ€â€too unstable if you ask me. I came to Saradush seeking sanctuary, but when he took over, I decided to get as far away from him as possible. |
| 65810 I hadn't met her until I came to Saradush, but I had heard her name. They said she promised to keep us Bhaalspawn safe, but it looks like we're all doomed despite her efforts. |
| 65811 Whatever you wish. Soon enough we shall all be dead anyway, I suspect. The walls won't hold forever. |
| 65812 How did I come to this? I'm just a simple farmer! Is it my fault my father was the Lord of Murder? |
| 65813 You are one of Bhaal's children? |
| 65814 Why aren't you inside the castle with the rest of the Bhaalspawn? |
| 65815 Can I ask you a few questions? |
| 65816 Bhaal may have been my father, but I want no part of this! I came to Saradush to escape persecution in my hometown. Now all I want is to try and blend in with the normal folk. |
| 65817 Just leave me alone. I can't tell you anything; I'm just a simple farmer! All I want is my normal life backâ€â€damn this cursed immortal lineage! |
| 65818 Yes. Gorion. Have you forgotten all that I had taught you, brought you up to be? Have you forgotten me? |
| 65819 I see I am not the only child of Bhaal who is seeking an escape from Gromnir's madness. |
| 65820 What are you talking about? |
| 65821 What do you mean? What have I done? |
| 65822 I have not forgotten you at all! |
| 65823 You mean nothing to me, old man! Begone! |
| 65824 You are a child of Bhaal? |
| 65825 How can you be here? I don't believe this at all! |
| 65826 If you disapprove of Gromnir's actions, why are you here? |
| 65827 Of course. And, like you, I'm trying to find the secret entrance out of the palace. |
| 65828 I tried to save you from your destiny, <CHARNAME>. I tried to turn you into a force for good. And what have you done? Carved a path of blood and murder wherever you go! |
| 65829 Well, since you are skulking around the nether regions of this castle, I have to assume that you are seeking an escape from this placeâ€â€as am I. |
| 65830 You are a disappointment. You were supposed to be so much more, <CHARNAME>. You were supposed to be something greater, and yet in the end, you murdered even me! |
| 65831 I thought Gromnir could protect me from the army outside Saradush. But now I just want to get out before Gromnir's madness gets us all killed. |
| 65832 Why are you saying these things?! I never murdered you! |
| 65833 I'm not trying to find a way outâ€â€I'm trying to get in to see Gromnir. |
| 65834 Sarevok murdered you, not I! |
| 65835 I've done what I can to survive, without your help. |
| 65836 Actually, I'm trying to find a way in to see Gromnir. |
| 65837 Gorion would never say these things. You are not he! |
| 65838 How ironicâ€â€you are trying to get out, and I want to get in and see Gromnir. |
| 65839 I would expect as much from the one who has made all my sacrifices worthless. You are a disappointment, <CHARNAME>. You destroy everything you touch and even murdered me. |
| 65840 You might want to rethink that. Gromnir is mad. He's randomly executing anyone he thinks might be a traitor. |
| 65841 Sarevok murdered you, not I. |
| 65842 I've survived... that's all. And without your help, old man. |
| 65843 I don't care what you think. Go back to being dead. |
| 65844 Gorion would never say these things. You are not he! |
| 65845 Strife |
| 65846 Most of the Bhaalspawn just go along with his wild accusations, trying to avoid drawing attention to themselves. But I can't stand it anymore. |
| 65847 High Priestess |
| 65848 You murdered me, and now you are impudent enough to try and avoid your punishment?! No, <CHARNAME>! Justice shall be done! |
| 65849 Strength Curse |
| 65850 Executing innocent people just isn't right. And how long until Gromnir points his finger at me? I just want to get as far from that madman as possible. |
| 65851 Can you give me any advice on how to get inside to see Gromnir? |
| 65852 There's a host of patrols just down this corridor. They're guarding some prisoners Gromnir plans to execute. If you're careful, you could sneak past them and into the castle. |
| 65853 Now I understand why you're trying to escape this place. |
| 65854 Gromnir has to keep you Bhaalspawn in line. Sounds like you just lack the stomach for leadership. |
| 65855 Ah, my <BROTHERSISTER>. I should have expected it would all end like this. |
| 65856 Defiance |
| 65857 A lie! You do not see the truth, and you shall be made to! |
| 65858 Yes, you survive... at the cost of everything you were meant to be. I am dead for all the sacrifices I made for you, and you *will* be made to see the truth of it! |
| 65859 I am no <BROTHERSISTER> of yours! |
| 65860 Who are you? Another of Gromnir's Bhaalspawn followers, I presume. |
| 65861 Viekang... didn't I run into you in Trademeet? |
| 65862 You dare to presume too much! You ignore the truth, and you *will* be made to acknowledge it! |
| 65863 Perhaps. I spent a brief time there, between jumps. |
| 65864 Between "jumps"? What are you talking about? |
| 65865 Angurvadal +5 |
| 65866 It was you in Trademeet! You vanished in a flash of lightning right in front of my eyes. |
| 65867 I saved you, <CHARNAME>. I hid you from those who would hunt you. I taught you and enabled you to become what you are. I *died* for you. |
| 65868 The curse of my Bhaal-tainted blood. Whenever I was afraid, I would suddenly be teleported to a completely new part of the world. Most disruptive, especially while I was being hunted. |
| 65869 And you have failed me and everything I hoped you would be. That is why I am murdered by you. |
| 65870 You think this animal, Sarevok, is responsible for my death? I expect no better from him. He is a slave to ambition, and yet you resurrect him and hail him as comrade. |
| 65871 I am Viekang, a child of Bhaal. But I assure you I am no follower of Gromnir's. If I could, I would leave this place. Alas, my ability to jump has long since vanished. |
| 65872 Beware, old man. You were in my way once. Do not tempt me a second time. |
| 65873 And Imoen... my second hope. You have turned her into a conspirator to your own failure. All her potential... lost. How both of you disgust me so. |
| 65874 Jump? What are you talking about? |
| 65875 Do you know how I can find Gromnir? |
| 65876 My apologies. I only meant we all share the same tainted blood of the Lord of Murder. I meant no offense. |
| 65877 Are you another of Gromnir's Bhaalspawn followers? |
| 65878 No! No, Gorion, don't say those things! Please! |
| 65879 By other Bhaalspawn, of course. Yaga-Shura, for one. Others. Whenever I tried to build a life, the hunters would show up, and poofâ€â€I'd jump. Or teleport, if you rather. It's not a very comfortable thing to live with. |
| 65880 Where have you come to, my ward? What have you done? So many bodies left in your wake, so much pain and destruction that you have caused. Why? Why?! |
| 65881 So how come you haven't jumped out of Saradush? |
| 65882 Hunted? By whom? |
| 65883 I don't have time for this. I need to find Gromnir. |
| 65884 But I have done much good as well! |
| 65885 I seek power, and I have it. I do not need to explain myself. |
| 65886 I have killed only when necessary, to defend myself or others. |
| 65887 I refuse to be judged by you, Gorion! |
| 65888 I don't have time for this. I need to find Gromnir. |
| 65889 It's kind of ironic, actually. I ran into Melissan during my... travels. She helped me, as she tries to help all the Bhaalspawn. She helped me cure myself so my fear wouldn't make me jump anymore. |
| 65890 No! Gorion would never say this! Never! |
| 65891 Then you know nothing of yourself! You have learned nothing! You grow ever closer to being a slave of your blood... you will murder all that you love and die a monster! |
| 65892 I will not allow it! |
| 65893 No? You *will* be judged, <CHARNAME>. You have learned nothing of yourself. You will murder all that you love, and you will die a monstrous slave to your blood... and I will not allow it! |
| 65894 You have learned nothing! You know nothing of me, or of what I tried to do! You will murder all that you love and die a monstrous slave to your blood! I will not allow it! |
| 65895 At first, it was a great relief. Knowing you can be snatched away without any warning is a little upsetting. But now, trapped here, I pray every day that my curse will manifest itself again. |
| 65896 How many more must come to grief before you see I am correct? How many must die? What of your many former companions? How many are dead now... because of you? |
| 65897 You must resent Melissan for putting you in this situation. |
| 65898 Do you know how I can find Gromnir? |
| 65899 I think I'll be going now. |
| 65900 Sorry, I don't have time to chat. |
| 65901 Sorry, I don't have time to listen to your story. |
| 65902 Fascinating tale. I'll be going now. |
| 65903 Melissan was only trying to help me. She had the best of intentions, though obviously events have not worked out as we all hoped. |
| 65904 I appreciate your taking the time to talk to me, but I should be going now. |
| 65905 What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? The elven girl you name "Aerie." |
| 65906 I may be able to provide a happy ending to this remarkable story if you tell me how to find Gromnir. |
| 65907 What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? My old comrade, Jaheira. |
| 65908 What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? The drow woman you name "Viconia." |
| 65909 What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? The man you call "Anomen." |
| 65910 What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? The ranger you name "Valygar." |
| 65911 I can't imagine why you would want to meet with Gromnirâ€â€he's rather unstable. Paranoid, even. But he isn't hard to find. He's in the throne room in the castle, or so I hear. That's all I can tell you. |
| 65912 Fair enough. If you want to talk again, I'll probably be right here. Since I stopped jumping, I find I sometimes like to stay in one place for days at a time. |
| 65913 Wh-what do you mean, inevitable pain? <CHARNAME> has brought me only great joy! |
| 65914 You know nothing of what you speak. You belong with my failed ward, however, you who are a murderer as much as <PRO_HESHE>. |
| 65915 What is so inevitable?! <CHARNAME> has fought the greatest foes... there is nothing that could come between us! |
| 65916 It is my choice as much as his, Gorion... though I doubt that is truly who you are. |
| 65917 I have no objection to pain, fool. I would stand by <CHARNAME> regardless. |
| 65918 <CHARNAME> has brought me no pain, spirit. Quite the contrary. |

| 65921 Intruders in the sacred temple! The fire of our master can never be extinguished! |
| 65922 You there, <PRO_RACE>! Release me from these chains! |
| 65923 Who are you? |
| 65924 Why are you chained up in this place? |
| 65925 Hold on just a minute. I'm not about to fall for another trap. |
| 65926 I will not allow you to be the one who causes the prophecy to become true! I won't allow it, <CHARNAME>! I will see you dead first! |
| 65927 What's in it for me if I set you free? |
| 65928 A trap? I have been chained here against my will, this is no trap. Now release me at once! |
| 65929 Maybe I should just leave you here. |
| 65930 I'm sorry, my good lady. I will release you at once. |
| 65931 What's in it for me if I set you free? |
| 65932 Aerie? Oh, my Aerieâ€â€is it really you? |
| 65933 Yes, of course. I shall release you at once. |
| 65934 Why do you think, fool? I am Yaga-Shura's unwilling concubine. Now release me at once! |
| 65935 What does my name matter? I am in need of help. Release my chains at once! |

| 65941 I'm sorry, my good lady. I will release you at once. |
| 65942 *gasp* M-mother?! Oh, Mother! W-what...? How can it be you? Where are your wings?! |
| 65943 What's in it for me if I set you free? |
| 65944 Oh, my dear Aerie. Did you think I would not search for you, search for my own child? |
| 65945 You...? I didn't know, Mama, I... I di |
| 65946 Of course I did, my poor child. I searched over the land for many, many months. In vain. In the end, human wizards took my wings, and I was murdered. |
| 65947 Wait! Wait. I have information. Release me, and I will tell you what I know about the master of this placeâ€â€the fire giant Yaga-Shura. |
| 65948 No! Mama, don't say that! That didn't happen! Wizards couldn't have murdered you. No! |
| 65949 They took my wings for their spells, but they did not murder me. You did, child. Your foolishness in saving the human was the knife to my heart. *You* murdered your mother. |
| 65950 You demand payment to release a chained and helpless woman? What kind of vile scum are you? |
| 65951 I am sorry. I shall release you at once. |
| 65952 No! NOO! *sob* No, please! Make it stop, <CHARNAME>, make it STOP! |
| 65953 Insult me? Well, maybe I should just leave you here. |
| 65954 Very well, I will set you free. But don't even *think* about trying anything. |
| 65955 I still have a bad feeling about this. I think I'll just leave you here. |
| 65956 You monster! May you rot in the Abyss! You are no better than the beast that keeps me here against my will! |
| 65957 Stop it! She's not responsible for what happened to you! |
| 65958 Stop this, Gorion! Don't do this to her! |
| 65959 Don't believe it, Aerie! It isn't real! |
| 65960 Enough! I won't allow this to continue! |
| 65961 Ah... free at last. I suppose I am in your debt. Well, I will be beholden to no <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Though it galls me, I will tell you what I know of Yaga-Shura. |
| 65962 Ask your questions, <PRO_RACE>, and I will answer them as best I may. But be quickâ€â€I desire to escape before the master of this place returns. |
| 65963 J-jaheira? Is... is that you? |
| 65964 Khalid? No... this cannot be... |
| 65965 Why did you d-d-do it, my love? Why did you k-kill me? Why? |
| 65966 Tell me what you know about Yaga-Shura. |
| 65967 I demand you tell me who you are and how you got here. |
| 65968 Do you know how Yaga-Shura's invincibility can be overcome? |
| 65969 Khalid would not say such a thing! I did not kill him. I did not! |
| 65970 You... you insisted so on f-following G-gorion's ward... to h-help him. Did... d-d-did you love him even then, Jaheira? D-d-did you leave me for him? |
| 65971 I should cut your tongue out for your impertinence... but since I have no weapon, and since you did save my life... |
| 65972 My name is Ehlastra, a warrior from the northern lands. I had heard legends of Yaga-Shura, a child of Bhaal born unto a giantess. I came to this place to see if the legends were true. |
| 65973 No! No, my Khalid... do not think that! I loved you, but you were gone! Gone! |
| 65974 I thought you had been kidnapped. |
| 65975 I... I am n-n-not even c-c-cold in the ground! And you are w-with him! You n-n-never loved me, Jaheira! You never loved me, and you wanted me to die! |
| 65976 So you came to kill Yaga-Shura? |
| 65977 You mean you were just curious? Surely there must be more to it than that. |
| 65978 No! This is not real. Khalid would know... he would know what I felt! *sob* What I always felt! <CHARNAME>, make this stop! |
| 65979 You simple fool! I came here to join Yaga-Shura, to offer my sword to his service, to follow the mighty giant as his army laid waste to the southlands! |
| 65980 Khalid, stop this! She's not responsible for what happened to you! |
| 65981 Stop this, Gorion! She doesn't deserve this! |
| 65982 Enough! I won't allow this to continue! |
| 65983 Don't you believe it, Jaheira! It isn't real! |
| 65984 I wanted to become part of his unstoppable war machine, to revel in the slaughter, to have my blade drip with the blood of all those Yaga-Shura crushed beneath his mighty boot! |
| 65985 And instead you wound up as his pleasure slave. How ironic. |
| 65986 It seems you have been suitably punished for your savage bloodlust, Ehlastra. |
| 65987 You are lucky they didn't kill you. |
| 65988 The fire giants in this temple are shortsighted fools. They recognized my warrior skills, but saw me only as a potential mate for Yaga-Shura, a chance for him to further spread Bhaal's seed. |
| 65989 But now they are dead, and I yet survive. My only regret is that I could not kill Yaga-Shura's followers with my own hands. I have nothing more to say on this matter. |
| 65990 Your instincts are not wrongâ€â€I am a veteran warrior of many battles. But I have no desire to stay in this land. Once your questions are done, I will return to my northern home. |
| 65991 You look like you know how to handle a blade. Will you join up with my group? |
| 65992 I have heard the legendsâ€â€Yaga-Shura cannot be defeated; he is immune to all weapons and magic; he is invincible. Perhaps this is true. |
| 65993 You sound like you have your doubts. |
| 65994 Viconia...? My sister? |
| 65995 This is an attempt at manipulation? Bringing an image of my brother before me? |
| 65996 I... I am dead, Viconia. At long last, after the agony of being a loathsome drider for so many long years. I... could not take the torture. I couldn't! |
| 65997 Dalninuk... my little brother. You were never much of a drow. I used to... No... no, you cannot be him. It is a lie. |
| 65998 I tried to save you, Viconia. I stopped the matron mother from killing you, but you fled! You left me to die, when I wanted us both to flee! You murdered me, dalninil! |
| 65999 No! Nau! Valas... I... we were surrounded; I had no choice... |
| 66000 You knew! I loved you... you were the center of my world, dalninil. Like no drow, I cared for you. And... you used me to get away. I became a drider, Viconia! You murdered me! |
| 66001 Nau! Enough! Ssussun pholor dos! <CHARNAME>, I cannot take this! Make it stop! |
| 66002 Valas, this wasn't her fault! Stop this! |
| 66003 Stop, Gorion! She doesn't deserve this! |
| 66004 Enough! I won't allow this to continue! |
| 66005 Don't you believe it, Viconia! It's a lie! |

| 66007 Anomen? My brother, is it... is it really you? |
| 66008 Moira! Dearest sister, you... how can this be?! |
| 66009 I am here because I am murdered, Anomen. I am murdered, and justice has not been done. |
| 66010 It was Saerk who had you killed, dear sister, but I... I could not take vengeance! I could not... |
| 66011 Robbers ended your life, my sister, but I could not... I could not take vengeance upon them! |
| 66012 No, my brother. I may have been killed by another, but it is you who murdered me. |
| 66013 No! No, Moira, do not say such a thing! I never... |
| 66014 I stayed to care for Father, as you asked. All those years, I labored as you fled from him. I would have been married and happy... but you failed me. It was you who slid the knife into my heart. |
| 66015 I... didn't mean to fail you! Please... please, Moira, I loved you! You... you didn't want to leave Father! |
| 66016 You lie, my brother. You didn't want me to leave. And now I am dead at your hands. |
| 66017 No! No, no! I... I never... by Helm, no! <CHARNAME>, I beg you! Make this stop! |
| 66018 Stop, Moira! He isn't responsible for what happened to you! |
| 66019 Stop this, Gorion! He doesn't deserve this! |
| 66020 Enough! I won't allow this to continue! |
| 66021 It's a lie, Anomen! Don't believe it! |
| 66029 N-no! No, I... I can't accept this! I won't go through this again! <CHARNAME>, please... make it stop! I can't bear this! |
| 66030 Gorion, stop this! He doesn't deserve this! |
| 66031 Enough! I won't let this continue! |
| 66032 Don't believe it, Valygar! It's a lie! |
| 66033 You will not be the one who causes the prophecy to come true, my ward! Bow before me and renounce your life! |
| 66034 This is pointless! I never cared for you and never will, old man! |
| 66035 No! I refuse to believe that Gorion would cause this much pain! |
| 66036 No! You are in my head; I can feel it! This is a lie! |

| 66040 Yaga-Shura is not so stupid as to share his secrets with me. But I have been here many months, and I have overheard bits and pieces of many conversations. |
| 66041 I have heard mention of a name from Yaga-Shura's pastâ€â€Nyalee, an old crone who lives in the marshes of the Forest of Mir. She may know Yaga-Shura's secrets. |
| 66042 And I also know Yaga-Shura is obsessed with a golden chest he keeps hidden beneath his bed. Unfortunately, this is the full extent of what I have been able to learn in my captivity. |
| 66043 Thank you. I now consider your debt paid. |
| 66044 You are of no further use to me. Go if you wish. |
| 66045 I still need to ask you some more questions. |
| 66046 Then I shall return to the Northâ€â€the sulfur stench of these lands galls me! But if rumors of my shameful imprisonment reach my ears, I will know whom to hunt down for vengeance. |
| 66047 I have nothing I need to ask you. You may go, if you wish. |

| 66057 How does someone live here amidst all these creatures? |
| 66058 The "dead master"? What are you talking about? |

| 66061 Nyalee survives very well, she does, and Nyalee is I! The Witch of the Glade, they calls me, hee hee! But so many questions you have! |
| 66062 You should know, spawn-child, you should know! Nyalee served the dead master once, and Nyalee is I! Hee hee! But so many questions you have, questions, questions! |
| 66063 Tricks, yes! Nyalee knows many tricks! Witch of the Glade, they calls me, for many good reasons. Hee hee! But so many questions you have! |

| 66068 It is the boy... that traitorous fool of a half-giant boy of mine. You come because of Yaga-Shura! My boy has been a pain for you and me both, and you wish his blood, yes? |
| 66069 What do you mean, "boy of mine"? Yaga-Shura can't be your son. |
| 66070 You wish revenge on him? What for? |
| 66071 Yes, I need to know how to kill him! Tell me how! |
| 66072 How do I know I can even trust you? |
| 66073 Nay, the boy did not spring from Nyalee's loins. Nyalee did see him for the spawn-child he was while but a babe and stole him from the crib! Raise him here in this temple as her own did she! |
| 66074 Why would you wish revenge on your own son, then? |
| 66075 Then tell me how to kill him. |
| 66076 How do I know I can even trust you? |
| 66077 Because a betrayer is the boy! Did Nyalee not raise the boy? Did Nyalee not teach the boy the old tricks, yes? And the boy did leave Nyalee here to rot! Steals her heart, even! |
| 66078 You raised Yaga-Shura? He can't be your son. |
| 66079 Then tell me how to kill him. |
| 66080 How do I know I can even trust you? |
| 66081 Because haves a common enemy does we! Nyalee would kills her boy, oh yes, but Nyalee can nothing do without her heart! So Nyalee needs you, spawn-child. |
| 66082 Comet |
| 66083 Yaga-Shura is your boy? But he can't be your son. |
| 66084 Why is he your enemy? |
| 66085 Then tell me how to kill him. |
| 66086 That Nyalee will do. Hee hee! The traitorous boy will not even see it coming, oh no! Nyalee will haves her revenge! Listen closely, then, spawn-child... |

| 66088 Once a great cleric of Bhaal was Nyalee! But then great Bhaal is dead, and Nyalee is forced to turn to the older arts to survive. Nyalee steals the spawn-child Yaga-Shura to raise in this temple, did she. |
| 66089 A new Lord of Murder did Nyalee hope to create! Foolish old Nyalee. Teaches the boy the old tricks did she, teaches the boy to remove his heart did she. |
| 66090 The boy has removed his heart, and he will keep it afired and bathed in magical flames. While his heart burns, no harm may come to Yaga-Shura. No death may come until his heart is quenched! |
| 66091 So I must find his heart and quench it. How? |
| 66092 Only Nyalee knows the words and the arts to extinguish the boy's heart, she does. But Nyalee needs her own heart to use the arts... and the boy stole her heart years ago. Keeps it, he does. |
| 66093 Finds Nyalee's heart and Yaga-Shura's heart both, spawn-child... brings them both to her. Nyalee will quench his heart forever then! Hee hee! So surprised, so shocked will he be! |
| 66094 I may have the hearts you speak of... are these them? |
| 66095 Where would I find these hearts? |
| 66096 What kind of reward will you give me if I retrieve these hearts? |
| 66097 Very well. I shall seek out these hearts and return. |
| 66098 No! I do not trust you! I will not help you do this. |
| 66099 Gem |
| 66100 The boy has collected followers... live with them in the fire-mountains, he will. Nyalee knows not where. He will keeps her poor heart there, in hiding. His as well, Nyalee is sure! |
| 66101 What kind of reward will you give me if I retrieve these hearts? |
| 66102 Very well. I shall seek out these hearts and return. |
| 66103 No! I do not trust you! I will not help you do this. |
| 66104 You wish more than Nyalee's help, do you? Nyalee has nothing else to offer! Nothing! Defeat the boy on your own if you wish; Nyalee cares not! |
| 66106 Where would I find your heart, then? |
| 66107 Jester |
| 66108 Sun |
| 66109 Very well. I shall seek out your heart and return. |
| 66110 No! I do not trust you! I will not help you do this. |
| 66111 Yes! Hee hee! Nyalee will haves her revenge, oh yes! Go, spawn-child... go and finds Nyalee's poor heart! Bring me the boy's as well! Nyalee cannot wait! |
| 66112 Defeating Yaga-Shura I have encountered a witch by the name of Nyalee within the ruins of a Bhaalist temple in the Haunted Glade. Nyalee raised Yaga-Shura and taught him to remove his heart and keep it ablaze as the secret to his invulnerability. His heart must be extinguished in order to remove his power. Nyalee will do it, but she needs me to bring her his heart... as well as her own, which Yaga-Shura has stolen. |
| 66113 Throne |
| 66114 Then finds another who knows how to perform the old arts! Fight the boy as he is; Nyalee cares not! Nyalee will here be waiting if you change your mind, spawn-child! Hee hee! |

Apparently, the giant is obsessed with a small, golden chest that he keeps hidden within his stony bed. As well, she mentioned a crone by the name of Nyalee who knows something of Yaga-Shura's secrets... and that Nyalee can be found in the Forest of Mir. |
| 66118 I don't like your attitude. You best not anger me, considering you have no weapons or armor! |

Nyalee said that his heart can only be extinguished with magic she knows, and she needs her own heart to do this. I refused to help her, however. There must be another way! |

| 66123 Oh! 'Tis Nyalee's heart, it is! The spawn-child has found Nyalee's poor heart! And, yes... this be the boy's heart as well. Gives Nyalee her heart, and she will extinguish the boy's, she will, oh yes! |

| 66129 Umm... not to be rude or anything, but I'm rather glad you didn't... |
| 66130 Soooo... changes your mind, haves you? Knowing, perhaps, that only Nyalee can helps you, yes? |
| 66131 I may have the hearts you spoke of... are these them? |
| 66132 Tell me where I might find your heart, then. |
| 66133 What kind of reward will you give me if I retrieve this heart of yours? |
| 66134 Very well. I shall seek out your heart and return. |
| 66135 No, I have not changed my mind. |
| 66136 Most anxious, Nyalee is, oh yes! Have you founds her precious hearts, spawn-child? |
| 66137 I may have... I have two hearts here. Are they what you need? |
| 66138 Skull |
| 66139 No, I haven't found them both yet. |

| 66141 Yes... yes, at last Nyalee has her heart. Nyalee had forgotten how it feels to have a heart, she had. Many old memories... It makes Nyalee sad. |
| 66142 And... there. It be done, a simple thing, it is. The boy's heart is cold now. As... as cold as his mother's old heart... |

| 66151 Many of the words on these scattered pages have faded over the centuries. ...power of my electrical enchantments... our caged pet... the form of a green slime giant is vulnerable to lightning... Only the final entry has survived in its entirety: I finally have a plan to be rid of that sorry, slime-loving excuse for a mage. If I turn my fan to its highest setting while the southwest door to his noxious laboratory is open, the poison mist will be blown clear, making his noxious pets vulnerable! I must remember to use my lightning on that ooze puddle, unless I want thousands of those things crawling around the dungeon. Soon I will put my plan into action and be rid of his caustic presence forever! |
| 66152 This note is scorched and blackened, obscuring much of the text: ...companions are stubborn fools... demon almost immune to physical damage... transforms into its ice incarnation, it is vulnerable to flame and fire... destroy the windbag air wizard and his pathetic servants... my giant is invincible! |
| 66153 The ink of this diary has run, oozing across the pages and smearing many of the words: ...forces we do not comprehend... concentrate on my own research... acid and poison are potent against its air incarnation... The final words of the last page are the most legible: ...devised a way to be rid of the cold-hearted monster. If I set the air mage's fan on high and open all the doors between the fan room, my own lab, and the ice wizard's frigid chamber, the drafts will blow my toxic vapors down the hall towards the frost wizard's minions. Once touched by the poison gas, they will become tainted and vulnerable. That snowblind fool won't know what hit him! I can then close the doors or turn the fan back to the low setting, and the gas will drift back into my noxious lab to preserve my own precious pets. |
| 66154 Protected by a thin layer of magical ice, this note is remarkably well preserved: The others refuse to recognize my contribution to this project! When the demon assumes the shape of a winged, red-bodied beast, it becomes vulnerable to my powerful winter magics, yet my "companions" insist their own enchantments surpass my own. The flame mage, with his "invincible" servant, is the worst, of course. But I have discovered the secret to destroying his precious giant! The fire elementals are the keyâ€â€dispatch them and the giant becomes vulnerable! I will lure each of the four elementals into my ice lab and destroy them in my frozen realm. This will trap their spirits in the ice crystals and keep them from being reborn in the lava pit from which they are continually spawned! |

| 66166 What? No! No, this cannot be! I am wounded?! |

| 66177 What do you mean, my "education"? |
| 66178 Very well... I believe I am ready. |
| 66179 You have been brought to this place because you are ready, god-child. |
| 66180 The first step towards the fulfillment of your destiny has been taken. Yaga-Shura is dead by your hand, and the forces in play now move swiftly toward conclusion. |
| 66181 Now you must know yourself and your past to reveal your future. Listen and be judged. |

| 66198 EXPANSION PACK |
| 66199 Welcome to Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, the expansion pack to Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and the completion of the Child of Bhaal storyline. Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal is split into two sections: 1) An Add-In Sectionâ€â€a grand new adventure takes place at Watcher's Keep, a new area on your map in BGII. The keep can be played during the course of BGII. It can also be played after BGII in the Add-On section. Play the Add-In Section simply by loading a BGII save and going to Watcher's Keep. 2) An Add-On Sectionâ€â€This continues the main storyline of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. Play the Add-On Section by finishing Baldur's Gate II:Shadows of Amn or by importing your character or party into Throne of Bhaal (see below). Watcher's Keep can also be accessed from the Add-On Section. Once you have started the Add-On section, you can no longer return to Shadows of Amn or its areas. Clicking the New Game button will take you to the character creation screen, where you can create a character to begin Throne of Bhaal at its beginning, shortly after the events chronicled in Shadows of Amn. You have the option of creating a brand new character, who will be outfitted with two million experience points and a variety of powerful weapons and items. You also have the option of importing a character from a saved game or from the character folder. These characters will also be given items and set to two million experience points, if they haven't already reached this level of experience. Clicking the Import Game button will allow you to import your party from a BGII saved game, such as your final save from Shadows of Amn. This is also an option from which you can load your Throne of Bhaal saves once you've started the mission pack and saved a game. Click Cancel to return to the previous menu. Please enjoy Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. |

| 66202 I am your mother. I am Alianna, a disciple of the great Lord of Murder, a priestess of Bhaal. In the Time of Troubles did Bhaal himself come and whisper in mine ear. |

| 66204 I was to give birth to one of the Children. To you. I rose my arms up and hailed my Lord of Murder with great joy at my fate. |
| 66205 Others of Bhaal's order took me away, to hide us in the darkest temple, away from prying eyes. Others of the Children were there... and when our great Bhaal died did we begin our task. |
| 66206 Her task was to slay her own child, sacrifice her babe upon the bloodiest of altars. |
| 66207 I would slay you, my child. So Bhaal could live again. |
| 66208 But I and several of my colleagues had discovered the location of this temple. We attacked and stopped your mother from performing the sacrifice. |
| 66209 We resisted. This was the will of Bhaal, father of my child. |
| 66210 They were many, and their magic was strong. We had little time. I killed the priestess... |
| 66211 He slew me, your mother! |
| 66212 I rescued you and fled from the temple even as many other Bhaalspawn babes died. |
| 66213 But not all of us died. Some of us used the chaos to escape, to flee. |
| 66214 Yes. Not all the Bhaalspawn children died that night. I saved the only one I could. |
| 66215 He could only save one; there was no time for more. But I was there as well. |
| 66216 I chose you, <CHARNAME>. I could not save both of you. |
| 66217 He left *me* behind, saving you instead. |
| 66218 It could have been either of you. There was only time to choose one. |
| 66219 And so I fled on my own, raised by foster parents in the Iron Throne. |
| 66220 It was a choice made in a second. It haunted me forever, for I never knew what became of the child. |
| 66221 It mattered not. I killed Gorion in the end. |
| 66222 Yes, the child alone knew of the Bhaalspawn I hid. The child was Sarevok. |

| 66229 And so your past is made plain. Your mother, a priestess of Bhaal, killed by Gorion. |
| 66230 So what? It means nothing to me. |
| 66231 A surprise, but better her than me. |
| 66232 Gorion saved my life. He never told me any of this... |
| 66233 Skull of the Lich |
| 66234 I feel sorry for my mother. Gorion did what he had to. |
| 66236 Roranach's Horn |
| 66237 THIS was my mother?! How horrid! No wonder Gorion never told me! |
| 66238 And what of your brother, Sarevok? What if fate had not intervened, and Gorion had raised him rather than you? Would you have become as he was? |
| 66239 Would Sarevok be in your place now, if but for the smallest twist of fate? Is there a debt between you, then, that is yet unpaid? |
| 66240 If there was a debt, then it was Gorion's... and it has been paid. |
| 66241 There is no debt. Gorion had no choice... and I wouldn't have ended up like Sarevok. |
| 66242 Sarevok made his own fate. Neither Gorion nor I are responsible for it. |

| 66262 Yaga-Shura defeated With Nyalee having extinguished Yaga-Shura's fiery heart, the giant Bhaalspawn became vulnerable... and in a great battle with his army, I was able to defeat him at last. It is unfortunate that I was not able to do this before Saradush was razed to the ground, which Yaga-Shura apparently did in search of me within. |
| 66263 Defeating Yaga-Shura Nyalee did as she promised, although perhaps having her heart returned did not affect her in the way she thought it would. Regardless, Yaga-Shura's heart has been extinguished. Hopefully, the giant himself is now weakened. There is only one way to find out: I must proceed to the siege camp outside of the city and confront Yaga-Shura himself. |

| 66284 Expected me to be dead, eh? Sorry to disappoint you. |
| 66285 Don't be a fool, <CHARNAME>. I cannot express my relief at finding you alive after all the carnage this monster and his army have wrought here. |

| 66287 My own escape was a narrow one. Once the walls were breached, Yaga-Shura thundered through the city almost too quickly for us to react. |
| 66288 I tried to get the Bhaalspawn out, but it was too late! Yaga-Shura seemed to think you were in the city and was eager to seek you out. He... slaughtered them all, and there was nothing I could do. |
| 66289 A mere handful of peasants and I escaped the destruction and fled. I was at a loss... I had no idea where you were until I heard your battle, when I returned as quickly as I could. |
| 66290 Saradush... destroyed. And everyone I tried to protect for so long, all dead. At least you killed Yaga-Shura. May he rot in Hell as he deserves! |
| 66291 You live? Do the other Bhaalspawn survive then as well? |
| 66292 This is one of the many weapons of the great hero Siegfried. The blade is particularly sharp and well-balanced, and in a certain light one can see the faint image of a serpent within the hilt.

| 66295 I will avenge them! This cannot continue! |
| 66296 That may not be wise, <CHARNAME>. Already the Bhaalspawn have been blamed for Saradush's destruction. The Tethyrians are organizing an army... where will you go that you will not be hunted? |
| 66297 So what do you propose we do now? |
| 66298 Well, that's all I can do. I guess I'll be on my way. |
| 66299 What? Why would Bhaalspawn be blamed for this? Who could do that? |
| 66300 I offered you information in return for Yaga-Shura's death. It may be too late to save Saradush, but that information could still help you, if you will listen. |

| 66302 I would appreciate some answers for once. |
| 66303 I'm not agreeing to anything yet... but tell me what you know. |
| 66304 This had better not be lies, Melissan. I'm in no mood. |
| 66305 Yaga-Shura did have allies. They were all children of Bhaal... and they number amongst the most powerful of your kin in all of Faerûn. |
| 66306 One of them was named Illasera. It was she who hounded my protected Bhaalspawn earlier and forced us to flee to Saradush, but she left weeks ago and disappeared into the elven forests. |
| 66307 Rumored to have been dropped from the Heavens by a careless lesser deity, this dagger is a favorite among thieves and assassins, as it will sometimes magically hide its user from the victim's sight. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – 5% chance of making the user go invisible for 1 turn after each successful attack THAC0: +4 Damage: 1d4+4 (piercing) Speed Factor: 0 Proficiency Type: Dagger Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 1 |
| 66308 I know them by name onlyâ€â€Abazigal and Sendai. They are intent on killing all other Bhaalspawn in the land, and with their combined power, they are unstoppable. |
| 66309 Why are they doing this? Do you know? |
| 66310 That doesn't explain why blame is falling on Bhaalspawn everywhere. |
| 66311 That one I also killed. What others are there? |
| 66312 With the star sapphires encrusting its hilt, this small blade is one of the most dangerous weapons in the realms. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – 15% chance of making the user go invisible for 1 turn after each successful attack – Star Bolt: Each successful hit has a 5% chance of causing an extra 1d8 fire and 1d8 electrical damage THAC0: +5 Damage: 1d4+5 (piercing) Speed Factor: 0 Proficiency Type: Dagger Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 1 |
| 66313 They're not so tough if I've already killed two of them. |
| 66314 Well, if they're unstoppable, what am I supposed to do about it? |
| 66315 I wish I knew. It could be that they believe they will gain power. Perhaps they intend to become gods themselves. Regardless, they will bring only chaos if they have their way. |
| 66316 How can I believe any of this? You seem to know little about them. |
| 66317 That doesn't explain why blame is falling on Bhaalspawn everywhere. |
| 66318 This "dagger" is actually the tip of Ixil's Nailâ€â€an artifact of almost unimaginable power. Even this small piece of the legendary spear is a fierce weapon. STATISTICS: THAC0: +2 Damage: 1d4+2 (piercing) Speed Factor: 0 Proficiency Type: Dagger Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 1 |
| 66319 They're not so tough if I've already killed two of them. |
| 66320 What am I supposed to do about them, then? |
| 66321 It does, actually. Bhaalspawn *are* responsible for the destruction, after all. And they spread the rumors further so that fearful and panicky people do half their job for them. |
| 66322 But wouldn't that put them in danger as well? |
| 66323 But why are they doing all this? |
| 66324 They're not so tough if I've already killed two of them. |
| 66325 So what am I supposed to do about them, then? |
| 66326 You were attacked by Illasera and Yaga-Shura both. Judge for yourself what their intentions are towards you and whether or not they will continue to hunt you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 66327 None of this explains why blame is falling on Bhaalspawn everywhere. |
| 66328 Point taken. What do you propose I do, then? |
| 66329 How much are you in danger from a mob of peasants, <CHARNAME>? Panic endangers the helpless. These are powerful Bhaalspawn, and together they could overwhelm even you. |
| 66330 This axe was last seen in the gnarled fists of Glimred Heavyhand, an aging dwarven hero who disappeared in the deepest caverns beneath the Marching Mountains. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +1 – Regenerate 1 HP/round THAC0: +3 Damage: 1d8+3 (slashing) Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Axe Type: One-handed Requires: 10 Strength Weight: 7 |
| 66331 But why are they doing all this? |
| 66332 They're not so tough if I've already killed two of them. |
| 66333 So what am I supposed to do about them, then? |
| 66334 You... you are a powerful <PRO_MANWOMAN>, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps they might be a match for you together, but individually... individually, you could possibly defeat them. You could stop all of this! |
| 66335 I know of two places here in Tethyr where Yaga-Shura's allies have their power centered, where they are building terrible armies for whatever ultimate purpose they possess. |
| 66336 I... I can show you where these enclaves are. Yes! And surely you could enter these places and attack these monsters individually! It is dangerous, but it is the only way! |
| 66337 Hold on there. I never agreed to do any of this! |
| 66338 Forget it. I'm not interested in getting involved. |
| 66339 I need rest and healing... and equipment. What am I supposed to do about that? |
| 66340 Very well... I will do what I can. |
| 66341 And where will you go, <CHARNAME>? People will fear you, the forces of Tethyr and other nations will hunt you... will you kill them all? You are already involved whether you like it or not. |
| 66342 Eventually, Yaga-Shura's allies will come after you. Ask yourself if you want to be caught unprepared and on a battleground of their choosing or one of yours. |
| 66343 Fine, fine. I can't do what you ask and be on the run at the same time, however. |
| 66345 What help can I expect from you, then? |
| 66346 Then I have no choice in the matter. Typical. |
| 66347 I have one more ally that I can call upon, although I have been reluctant to involve him in the past. If there is a chance that all this killing can end, however, then I have little other option. |
| 66348 He runs a monastic order in a remote village in the Calim Desert... it will serve to both hide you from retribution as well as serve as a base from which you can attack the enclaves of Abazigal and Sendai. |
| 66349 I never said I would attack anything! Don't get ahead of yourself. |
| 66350 I know where your destiny lies, <CHARNAME>. I know where you must go to find it. Search about on your own, and it will soon be too late... the time of the old prophecies is upon us. Or upon *you*, at least. |
| 66351 Forget it. I've no interest in getting involved. |
| 66352 I suppose that will have to do. |

| 66357 Assault on the enclaves Melissan has survived the destruction of Saradush and has one final plan to stop Abazigal and Sendai, Yaga-Shura's allies. It seems I have little choice but to follow her plan and assault them in their own enclaves, where they are building their armies. It is either that or these hunters will come after me on their own terms. Tethyr, and anywhere else, is unsafe for me at the moment, so Melissan has offered a place of relative safety in a village named Amkethran. She will make arrangements there with an ally named Balthazar and will tell me of the enclaves' locations once I arrive. |

| 66488 Let's get out of here! |
| 66489 So. You must be the Bhaalspawn Melissan told me of. I've been expecting you. |
| 66490 How do you know who I am? |
| 66491 Where is Melissan? I need to speak with her. |
| 66492 Yes, I am <PRO_HESHE>. |
| 66493 I am Balthazar, head of the monastic order here in Amkethran and its ruler as well, although that is not an official position. Melissan preceded you and told me of your coming. |
| 66494 Melissan has already left the village... and did not say where she was going. She has left with me directions for you to reach these... enclaves... she mentioned. Is this what you expected? |
| 66495 No. She said she would meet me here. |
| 66496 She mentioned you... I appreciate your help. |
| 66497 How can I trust you to give me proper information? I know nothing about you. |
| 66498 And I know little enough of you, Bhaalspawn. Melissan has vouched for you, however, so I'll tolerate your presence and give you what you need. |
| 66499 I do not know where Melissan may have gone, nor do I care. As for you, Melissan has vouched for you... I'll tolerate your presence for now and give you what you need. |
| 66500 Melissan has vouched for you, <CHARNAME>. As far as that goes, I will tolerate your presence and give you the information that Melissan asked me to. |
| 66501 Here are the maps to the enclaves Melissan mentioned. Neither of them are very far from here, as you can see... Add them to your own map if you wish. |
| 66502 Do with them as you wish, <CHARNAME>. Amkethran is available for your supplies and rest... Do not disturb my own activities, and we'll not come to grief. Is that understood? |
| 66503 What sort of activities are you talking about? |
| 66504 I was expecting someone a little... friendlier. |
| 66505 Do not threaten me, Balthazar. |
| 66506 Fair enough... it's your town, after all. |
| 66507 That's none of your business. You'll not be allowed into my fortress... anywhere else is open to you. Good day and good luck to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 66508 Considering what happened to Saradush, be thankful you find welcome anywhere. You may not enter my fortress while you are here, <CHARNAME>. Elsewhere is open to you. Good luck. |
| 66509 It is not a threat; it is a warning. My own fortress here is off limits to you. Everywhere else in Amkethran you may enter. Good day and good luck, <CHARNAME>. |
| 66510 Thank you. Do not enter my fortress, <CHARNAME>... you will be denied entry. Everywhere else is open to you. Good day and good luck. |
| 66511 Hey, you! Yeah, I'm talking to you! Only the masters are allowed in the libraries... what are you doing here? |
| 66512 Who are you? |
| 66513 I could ask you the same question. |
| 66514 I'm looking for four scepter keys. Can you help me? |
| 66515 I'm just the resident whipping imp! A menial servant. A serf. A slave. A vassal. The masters couldn't care whether I live or die! |
| 66516 Your masters are dead and gone. |
| 66517 I assume you are talking about the wizards the demon in the other room mentioned? |
| 66518 What do I look like, a wizard? Nobody tells me nothing! Run this book across the hall. Fetch that vial. Don't play with the wands. |
| 66519 You shouldn't be talking to that one. He's always stirring up trouble between the masters, with his hints and rumors and half-truths. |
| 66520 I hate to tell you this, but your masters are all dead. |
| 66521 You stupid imp! Your masters are long dead! |
| 66522 Dead? Huh... not surprised, I guess. I knew trouble was brewing. The masters must have finally killed each other off. |
| 66523 You know, I bet that explains all those screams and explosions I kept hearing a while back. At least now I know why the fans shut downâ€â€nobody left to start them up. |
| 66524 You mean you've just been sitting here for centuries, doing nothing? |
| 66525 Hey! One of the masters told me to wait right here for further instructions, so I waited *right here*! I'm smart enough to know better than to disobey an order from one of the masters. |
| 66526 So how long were you going to just sit here and wait? |
| 66527 Look... I'm an immortal spirit, okay? What's a thousand years to me? And if you knew how the masters punished disobedience, you wouldn't have moved for a thousand years either! |
| 66528 Didn't you get bored? Or curious as to where everyone was? |
| 66529 With the masters dead, I've got no reason to stick around anymore. But since you did bring me the news that I'm free to go, I'll help you out. |
| 66530 This whole place is powered by a magical fanâ€â€without it, all the labs shut down. If you want to find anything besides empty rooms, you should start that fan up again. |
| 66532 Sorry, I've wasted enough time hanging around here already. One last tip: Go to the Air Lab first. It's behind me. The fan has two settings: high and low. That might be important. And now I'm gone. |
| 66533 You must be the dumbest imp in all of the Abyss. |

| 66558 Ooo! Needs must I look through your belongings? Match them to recipes, must I? Let me see... |
| 66559 The radiance of this treasure is somewhat lacking, as three gems have been removed from their settings atop the scepter. If you could find all three missing gems, you could reassemble this item. STATISTICS: Weight: 4 |
| 66560 Hmm. Nope. Nope! I sees nothing more that matches with my recipes. No more shiny ones. Oh well. Back to cleaning, I guesses. |

| 66565 So you thought your smugglers could sell our stolen gear and get away with it, eh, Esamon? |
| 66566 Or should we just call you Saemon? We know all about your shady reputation, Saemon Havarian! |
| 66567 Er, now let's not do anything hasty, gentlemen. As you know, I could not have been involved, as I have only recently returned to Amkethran... |
| 66568 Save it, you weasel. We know you run the smugglers here in Amkethran, so you're the one to blame. |
| 66569 We've been waiting for you... Hand over our stuff, Saemon, or we'll slit your lying, cheating throat. |
| 66570 Oh! Well, of course I, uh... by my sea-salt-stinging eyes! Look who's coming this wayâ€â€a familiar face from my past! |
| 66571 I see you're in a bit of a bind, Saemon. |
| 66572 I see your cheating ways have finally caught up with you. |
| 66573 I'm sorry. You must have me confused with someone else. |
| 66574 Ahh, don't say that, old friend! After all we've been through together? The good and the bad? |
| 66575 Your arrival is a happy coincidence, given the situation. You can actually solve my dispute with these rather upset gentlemen. |
| 66576 You a friend of this double-crossing rat? |
| 66577 I wouldn't say friend, exactly. |
| 66578 Saemon and I go way back. |
| 66579 Never seen this guy before in my life. Kill him if you want to. |
| 66580 This doesn't concern you. This is between us and Saemonâ€â€just keep walking! |
| 66581 But I can solve this little dispute quite easily now. <CHARNAME>... please return that equipment I sold you yesterday to these fine men. |
| 66582 You? You bought our stuff? |
| 66583 Of course not! Saemon's lying! |
| 66584 Don't be difficult, <CHARNAME>. We can all plainly see you are carrying equipment that does not rightfully belong to you. |
| 66585 Hey, yeah... those weapons look mighty familiar to me. |
| 66586 And those boots look just like the ones I'm missing! You've got our stuff! |
| 66587 This is ridiculous! All boots look alike! |

| 66728 Sorry... I was just wondering what you were doing. |
| 66729 Fine. I'll just be going then. |
| 66730 Now you're threatening me? Do you know who I am? |
| 66731 I can't be wasting my time yapping with some slack-jawed yokel. |
| 66732 My archers need to practice, and I need to keep summoning monsters so they have a target to aim at. |
| 66733 That's barbaricâ€â€what kind of sadistic monster are you? |
| 66734 Isn't that kind of dangerous? What if the monsters break free? |
| 66735 Mind if I join in? |
| 66736 Oh, I see. Well, I guess I'll be going then. |
| 66737 This is a private session... no one asked you to stick your nose in. Now quit bothering me! |
| 66738 I'm not done with my questions yet! |
| 66739 Fine. I'll be going. |
| 66740 That's it! I'm sick of your annoying interruptions... We've got a new target, men! Fire! |
| 66741 You again? I warned you not to bother us anymore! |
| 66742 Sorry. I'll be going. |
| 66743 But I just want to ask you a few questions. |
| 66744 Good. Don't come backâ€â€my archers aren't above using a nosy <RACE> for target practice! |
| 66745 Talk to the captain if you want to hire our services. We're expensive, but we're worth it. |
| 66746 Watch me shoot the next target's eye out. |
| 66747 The captain says I'm the best archer he's seen in years. |
| 66748 Don't disturb my concentrationâ€â€I need to focus on the target. |
| 66749 What's this? Oh... one hot club. POW, straight to the moon! |
| 66750 There be a ways to make Club of Detonation more powerful. Just needs ring of fire resistance, is all. Heh heh... don'tcha just love this club? Boom! |

| 66803 There something else here? Hmm... old rations? Do you clean pack sometimes or just pretend? |
| 66804 Thieving wench! Begging won't save you now! |
| 66805 We will make a harsh example of you, and maybe others will think twice before they steal from us! |
| 66806 Please, please spare me... I beg you! |
| 66807 Please, my daughter meant no harm. Her motives were pure, even if her actions were wrong. |
| 66808 Pure? How do you justify your daughter's theft of our hard-earned gold, Mayor Haraad? |
| 66809 People are starving... food is scarce! Asana needed your money to buy bread from the black market to feed the poor! |
| 66810 The problems of your town are not our problems, Mayor. Your excuses cannot justify your daughter's crimes! |
| 66811 Stay clear, Mayorâ€â€you can do nothing here. Make peace with your god, Asana... your life is forfeit. |
| 66812 Please, will no one help my daughter? Will no one stand against these brutes who have invaded our town? |
| 66813 Hush, Father... The townsfolk are scared; they will not intervene. I must accept the consequences of my actions. |
| 66814 No, this is not right! Asana has done nothing wrong! You there... stranger! You are surely not afraid of these mercenaries. Can you not help my daughter? |
| 66815 Are you talking to me? |
| 66816 Sorry, Mayor. I don't want to get involved in local politics. |
| 66817 Sounds like your daughter is a thief who's getting exactly what she deserves. |
| 66818 I will do whatever I can to help, Mayor. |
| 66819 Such an injustice as this must not go unchallenged! |
| 66820 Yes, you. The townsfolk cower in terror; they let these mercenaries do whatever they please. But you... you are obviously powerful enough to stand up to these savages! |
| 66821 Sorry... I don't want to get involved. |
| 66822 It sounds like your daughter is only getting what she deserves, Mayor. |
| 66823 I will not permit this barbaric act of mob justice to continue! |
| 66824 My daughter is a compassionate woman, but young and impulsive. She foolishly stole money from these mercenaries to ease the suffering of the starving children of our town. |
| 66825 Does she now deserve to die for her compassion? Her actions were wrong, but surely you cannot condone her execution under these circumstances, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 66826 Your words have touched meâ€â€I will save your daughter's life! |
| 66827 Save your pitiful tale for some other sucker's ears. |
| 66828 What's in it for me if I help you? |
| 66829 You are truly a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of stone, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! But if mercy and compassion cannot sway you, perhaps a reward might. |
| 66830 Forget itâ€â€your daughter deserves to die in my book. |
| 66831 Okay, you have my attention. What are you offering? |
| 66832 I... I do not have much. A small trinket of magic is all I can offer. That and my eternal gratitude. |
| 66833 Very well, I shall help your daughter. |
| 66834 No deal, Mayor. You're on your own. |
| 66835 Thank you! I fear those mercenaries will execute Asana right in the street if someone does not speak to them on her behalf. Please hurry! |
| 66836 Heartless monster! My daughter's blood is on your hands! |
| 66837 Please hurry... my daughter's life hangs in the balance. I beg you to speak with the mercenaries on her behalf. |
| 66838 My daughter owes you her life! I wish I had more to give, but I insist you accept this small reward. I will tell all of Amkethran how you saved my beloved Asana! |
| 66839 Do you have any final words, girl? Any last requests before you pay for your crimes? |
| 66840 I regret nothing... many were saved by my actions. If my own life must be forfeit, so be it. |
| 66841 I cannot permit this travesty of justice to continue! |
| 66842 This should be goodâ€â€another martyr bites the dust! |
| 66843 For the crime of theft, Asana Haraad, we sentence you to death! |
| 66844 Let this be a lesson to all the rest of you townsfolk who might be thinking of stealing our gold! |
| 66845 This does not concern you, stranger. Move along. |
| 66846 Of course. Continue about your business. |
| 66847 I will not permit you to murder this girl! |
| 66848 I'll make my own decisions about what does or does not concern me! |
| 66849 This woman is a thief, and she will pay for her crimes! |
| 66850 Are you looking for a fight, <PRO_RACE>? Because you might get more than you bargained for. |
| 66851 You can't bully me around like these cowering townsfolk! |
| 66852 You talk big, but can you back it up with a blade? |
| 66853 I'm not looking for a fight, but I won't allow you to kill an innocent girl. |
| 66854 Good! I was worried our fighting skills were getting a mite rusty! |
| 66855 Hmm... maybe could uses that string again. Not thinks of this one. |
| 66856 You has Firetooth crossbow, I sees. With Bowstring of Gond and 5,000 gp, I could makes it better. Not much, but is just a stupid crossbow after all. You wants? |
| 66857 She stole to feed a bunch of starving childrenâ€â€justifiable, if you ask me. |
| 66858 Fine, fine. Haves it your way. I goes back to digging through backpacks. Cespenar have no life anyway. Not even cute imp girlfriend. |
| 66859 True, but don't you think execution is a little bit harsh? |
| 66860 I don't have that much gold. |
| 66861 If you don't release her at once, you'll be the only one executed around here! |
| 66862 Sure, go ahead. |
| 66863 No. What else? |
| 66864 We are guests in this town, and the daughter of the mayor dares to take our gold! This is an insult which must be repaid in blood! |
| 66865 Now stand aside and let justice prevail, or face the consequences! |
| 66866 I will not stand aside! |
| 66867 Very well, you are right. Justice demands she be punished. |
| 66868 What if I repay what was taken? |
| 66869 Repay us? You're talking about nearly 2... uh, I mean 4,000 gold! |
| 66870 What? You uses sling? What is you, a big sissy? |
| 66871 Hmph. Well, I haves a recipe for Erinne Sling, anyways. Imagine that. All you needs is 5,000 gp, and I can go and make sling better. As good as slings get, anyhow. |
| 66872 I don't have that much gold. |
| 66873 All right, go ahead. |
| 66874 No. What else? |
| 66875 And think of the message we'd be sending to all the other would-be thieves if we let her go. We need at least another 1,000 to offset the inconvenience. |
| 66876 You just needs gold for that, and you wants to pass it up? Hookay, is your game, I supposes. |
| 66877 5,000 gold? I think I know who the real thief is. |
| 66878 Fine... here you go. |
| 66879 I'll need some time to get that much money together. |
| 66880 I'll give you 3,000. |
| 66881 I'll give you 3,000. |
| 66882 Sorry, 5,000 gold right now or the girl dies. |
| 66883 Fine... here is your blood money. |
| 66884 Just kill her then. She's not worth it. |
| 66885 I'm done bargainingâ€â€release her or feel my wrath! |
| 66886 Then we have a deal, my good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. A pleasure doing business with you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Asana, you are free to go. |
| 66887 Thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I cannot truly repay you for saving my life, though my father might have some small reward for you. Please excuse me now... this has been most upsetting. |
| 66888 Eh? Bag of rocks? What do you do with so many rocks? Need for head? |
| 66889 Oh... is bag of bullets. I get. You finds king's tear gem, maybe, and I can makes better. Right now, is just bag of rocks still. |
| 66890 Oh... is bag of bullets. I get. I gots recipe... king's tear and 10,000 gp... I can makes bag much better. You wants? |
| 66891 I don't have that much gold. |
| 66892 Sure, go ahead. |
| 66893 No. What else? |
| 66894 You not got better things to do than watch me search your bags? Like quest, maybe? |
| 66895 My daughter is gone... her fair light extinguished by the cruel world. Please... just leave me to my grief. |
| 66896 Ooo... you like this one, maybe...? Like a little smack on the tush, huh? Heh heh... |
| 66897 You gots bladesinger chain mail, I sees. Elven chain? If you gets scroll for protection from normal weapons and LOTS of gold, I can makes even better! Impressive, huh? But you don't gots right now. |
| 66898 You gots bladesinger chain mail, I sees. Elven chain? I have recipes that makes even better, I do. I uses your scroll protection from normal weapons and 40,000 gp. You wants? |
| 66899 Okays, I keep lookin'... what is this? Stale cookie? *crunch* *crunch* Ugggh... that is no cookie! |
| 66900 I don't have that much gold. |
| 66901 Sure, do it. |
| 66902 No. What else? |
| 66903 ..eww... eugh... What is bad smell? You been killing dragons? |
| 66904 Oh, is white dragon scales, is it? I make good scale armor, protect you from cold maybe. 5,000 gp only, you wants? |
| 66905 Oh, is blue dragon scales. Stinky. I make good plate armor, though... very light, very shiny. 5,000 gp... you wants? |
| 66906 You gots... what?... blue and white scales. Yick, stinky. I can makes white dragon scale armor and, ummm, blue dragon plate mail. 5,000 gp each, ups to you. |
| 66907 I keeps looking... and maybe sew a little hole in backpack here while I at it, okay? |
| 66908 I don't have that much gold. |
| 66909 Sure, go ahead. |
| 66910 No. What else? |
| 66911 I don't have that much gold. |
| 66912 Sure, go ahead. |
| 66913 No. What else? |
| 66914 I don't have that much gold. |
| 66915 Make the white dragon scale armor. |
| 66916 Make the blue dragon plate mail. |
| 66917 Neither of them. What else? |
| 66918 These mercenaries have filed a complaint that you are selling stolen goods, Carras. This operation is closed, and all merchandise is forfeit to the monastery. |
| 66919 This is ridiculous! The monastery has never objected to our actions in the past. |
| 66920 Esamon isn't hereâ€â€I haven't seen him in weeks. |
| 66921 No! You can't do this... this is an outrage! When did the monastery become a puppet slave to the whims of a bunch of foreign mercenaries? |
| 66922 Thank you for your assistance in this... unpleasant matter. I'm sure if Esamon were here himself, he would offer his thanks as well. |
| 66923 Esamon? You mean Saemon Havarian, don't you? |
| 66924 Looks like your leader has hung you out to dry, Carras. |
| 66925 But he's not here, is he? Lucky for him. |
| 66926 Ahem... yes, well... be that as it may, I still think some type of reward is in order for helping us in this matter. |
| 66927 With our erstwhile leader gone, the best I can do is offer you a discount on goods. The scope of my authority is somewhat limited in his absence, you understand. |
| 66928 You mean every time I come back here, I'll get a discount? |
| 66929 Maybe I'll come back later and take you up on that offer. |
| 66930 Of course, you must realize that we cannot stay here in Amkethran now that we have been involved in the death of several of Balthazar's envoys. |
| 66931 *sings* Eh? Ooh! Shower curtain? Oh... is only a cloak! Nasty pattern, that. |
| 66932 I suggest you use your discount soon. If you return tomorrow, our little "store" will be long gone. We cannot stay and suffer the wrath of Balthazar's vengeance. |
| 66933 Well, I haves a good recipe to make cloak of protection +2 better. You needs scrolls of invisibility and improved haste both though, so maybe later. |
| 66934 I haves good recipe for cloak of protection +2. I uses 20,000 gp and scrolls of invisibility and improved haste. Good cloak, better than tablecloth. You wants? |
| 66935 *sings* I'se looking through stuffs that ain't mine! ...dum-dee-doo-doo-dum-dum-dum-dum... |
| 66936 What about my own involvement in killing Balthazar's monks? |
| 66937 There are no witnesses to the battle but ourselves, and we will make sure Balthazar knows nothing of your involvement. |
| 66938 I don't have that much gold. |
| 66939 Sure, go ahead. |
| 66940 No. What else? |
| 66942 Our leader goes by many names, but I assure you I do not know his current whereabouts. Whatever your trouble with... Saemon, I had nothing to do with it. |
| 66943 Tell us where Esamon is, Carras, and we will let you go. |
| 66944 Then I will arrest you instead. For your sake, I hope Esamon shows up before we find it necessary to... interrogate you. |
| 66945 What gots we here? A book? Is good bedtime readings, maybe? Oh... is tome of golems. Yecccch. BOR-ing. |
| 66946 Silence, Carras! Wait... what is this? It seems we have a would-be customer in our midst. The infamous child of Bhaal, if the descriptions of Balthazar are at all accurate. |
| 66947 There is pages that cans make book better. Make book make better golems. Heh... recipes for recipes! Is funny, yes? Well, you no have proper pages for current tome, so forgets about it. |
| 66948 You haves a stone golem page, which makes tome better, oh yes. Just uses 10,000 gp and then you can makes all stone golems you wants, in fact. |
| 66949 You haves a clay golem page, which makes tome better, oh yes. Just uses 5,000 gp and then you can makes all clay golems you wants, in fact. |
| 66950 You haves a juggernaut golem page, which makes tome better, oh yes. Just uses 15,000 gp and then you can makes all juggernaut golems you wants, in fact. Scary. |
| 66951 I could arrest you for being an accessory, Bhaalspawn. However, I am in a generous mood. I suggest you leave now, and don't interfere in our business here. |
| 66952 I just puts book back... probably too many big words for youse anyway. Not enough neat pictures. |
| 66953 I don't have enough gold. |
| 66954 Sure, do it. |
| 66955 No. What else? |
| 66956 I don't have enough gold. |
| 66957 Sure, go ahead. |
| 66958 I'm not looking for trouble with Balthazar. |
| 66959 No. What else? |
| 66960 Sorry, I've got my own score to settle with these smugglers and their leader! |
| 66961 I don't have enough gold. |
| 66962 Sure, go ahead. |
| 66963 No. What else? |
| 66964 We all know this is going to end in violenceâ€â€let's just cut right to the good stuff. |
| 66965 To arms, my brothers! We are attacked! |
| 66966 Stand aside. I will not allow Balthazar's work to be interrupted by the likes of you. |
| 66967 Okay. I'm not looking for any trouble. |
| 66968 I've had enough of your high-handed attitudeâ€â€time to teach you some respect! |
| 66969 You show great wisdom. Brothers, let us close down this den of criminal activity. |
| 66970 Every time I see you monks, you're intimidating and bullying people. |
| 66971 I won't stand by and let you continue Balthazar's reign of terror unchallenged! |
| 66972 I've got a bone to pick with Esamon... Saemon... whatever you call him! |
| 66973 Hmm... it seems you has lots of junks in here. Needs junk drawer. |
| 66974 Let's see... nope. The other part isn't here. Well, if youse gets both Circlet of Netheril AND bronze ioun stone, I has great recipe. Good for mages, it is. |

| 67009 Oh, is Thieves' Hood. I remembers now. I has good recipe... needs 10,000 gp plus ring of invisibility and an antidote potion. You wants me to make? |
| 67010 There only one more recipe I has. I check, but just for you because you so sweet. |
| 67011 I don't have enough gold. |
| 67012 Sure, go ahead. |
| 67013 No. What else? |
| 67014 Okay... hmmm... maybe has something here. By the way, I organizes all your shoes, okay? |
| 67015 I thoughts maybe you have pieces for Heartwood Ring. Good recipe for druid. But you needs both oaken ring and a nymph's tear. That a gem, if you not know. But who cares? |
| 67016 You haves stuff for old druid recipe. Good recipe, too. Heartwood Ring... needs 5,000 gp, oaken ring, and a nymph's tear. You gots all that... wants me to make? |
| 67017 Well, I don't sees anything else I can makes. So much for that, over and out, see ya... wouldn't wanna be ya and all that. Uh, Cespenar going now... I wants a nap, maybe. |
| 67018 I don't have that much gold. |
| 67019 Sure, go ahead. |
| 67020 No, not really. |
| 67021 Blue Dragon |
| 67022 Blue Dragon |
| 67023 If you're lying to me, Carras, I'll torture you until you beg for the merciful release of death. |
| 67024 'Allo to you, my friend! More travelers coming to tiny little Amkethran, eh? Be you yet another soldier-for-hire that our good Balthazar has called for? |
| 67025 I'd rather kill Saemon, but for now, I'll just extract my revenge on you! |
| 67026 You are not the first who would rather taste our blades than see our wares! |
| 67027 Welcome to our little store. I'm sure you'll find we stock the finest merchandise procured from lands near and far... without the added cost of tariffs or taxes passed on to the consumer. |
| 67028 I'd like to see your services. |
| 67029 No, I'm not. |
| 67030 What is this place? Why have you built a store inside this cave? |
| 67031 Mind your own business, barkeep. |
| 67032 I'm looking for a woman named Melissan. |
| 67033 And what if I were? |
| 67034 Oh, I did not mean to imply anything by my question, dear <MANWOMAN>. All are welcome in the Zephirâ€â€never let it be said that Zakee Rafeha turned aside a customer, no <SIRMAAM>! |
| 67035 What can you tell me about Balthazar and his followers? |
| 67036 This merchandise is stolen, isn't it? |
| 67037 No? It is not often that we get travelers passing through Amkethran, especially in these times. Welcome to the Zephir, then, my good <MANWOMAN>! Zakee Rafeha at your service! |
| 67039 I'll be going now. |
| 67040 Can I ask you a few questions? |
| 67041 How about some service, then? |
| 67042 I'll be on my way. |
| 67043 Can I ask you a few questions? |
| 67044 How about some service, then? |
| 67045 I'll be on my way. |
| 67046 Certainly, certainly. I am not so overcome with business that I cannot answer a few queries now and then. Ho ho! Ask away, dear <MANWOMAN>! |
| 67047 We are simply an alternative to shopping in the more traditional stores. Some might call our little operation a "black market," but I find that term somewhat distasteful. |
| 67048 Feel free to look around, but please be discreet when recommending us. We smugglers... uh, I mean *entrepreneurs* are somewhat frowned upon by the town officials. |
| 67049 What can you tell me about this Balthazar? |
| 67050 Do you know anything about a woman named Melissan? |
| 67051 Tell me about the order of monks in the fortress. |
| 67052 Never mind. I would prefer some service. |
| 67053 Never mind. I'll be on my way. |
| 67054 Very well, let me see your services. |
| 67055 The many pleasures of the Zephir are yours to indulge in, good customer! If I have the supply, that is... these days, one can never be sure. |
| 67056 I think I'll be going now. |
| 67057 As you wish. If fortunes permit, perhaps we shall meet again. |
| 67058 What are all these mercenaries about for? |
| 67059 Peruse our wares, but do not tarry. Time is money, and we can afford to waste neither now. |
| 67060 As you wish. Walk carefully, good <MANWOMAN>... not even the streets of tiny Amkethran are safe these nights. |
| 67061 I cannot waste time with idle banter right now. Do you wish to buy something before we pack up our merchandise? |
| 67062 Yes, I would like to see your wares. |
| 67063 No thanks. I'll be going now. |
| 67064 Balthazar is the leader of the monastic order within the fortress, and has been for quite some time. He is... not overly popular, as I'm sure you're well aware. |
| 67065 Perhaps. Tell me what you know. |
| 67066 The monks have always been supportive of Amkethran, providing guidance when it was necessary and even protection from the creatures that sometimes come out of the Calim Desert. |
| 67067 We have always been grateful for their presence, they and the smugglers who bring us supplies to live. Since Balthazar assumed leadership of the order, however, nothing has been the same. |
| 67068 The order ignores us. They apply restrictions on the smugglers and have even killed some, restricting the supplies the village can be brought. And then there are all the mercenaries... |
| 67069 It... it is to be expected, I suppose. Many say that Balthazar is one of the terrible spawn of the dead god Bhaal. He prepares for war, no doubt, and we simply pray that this war does not come to Amkethran. |
| 67073 Balthazar is a Bhaalspawn? |
| 67076 Melissan is a protector of all of Bhaal's children, it is said, just as Elminster protects Those Who Harp. Why such a mage would protect god-spawn who only bring terror and destruction I do not know... nor does anyone. |
| 67077 I know little else of her, however, my friend. No one has told me of seeing Melissan the mage for many months now. |
| 67083 There is little to say. The order built their fortress in this remote place long ago. It is said they are an ancient order of warriors that once fought for an ancient Shah and were exiled when he was murdered. |
| 67084 The village grew up around the fortress, depending on their goodwill and guidance... which was received in abundance. At least, that is, until Balthazar became their leader. Now we are strangers. |
| 67085 Brown Dragon |
| 67086 How does one get inside this fortress? |
| 67088 Brown Dragon |
| 67093 If I could tell you that, casadhi, then I would know far more of the goings-on of this world than I would like. I hear stories occasionally from the mercenaries when they come here, and they frighten me. |
| 67094 I have heard tales of great wars and destruction in the lands beyond the desert, and while the order has never involved itself in such things before, it seems Balthazar has changed things. He plans a war... a great and terrible war... but I do not know against whom. |
| 67100 So it is said. He was brought here long ago by the mage Melissan, who protects him. We fear that the old tales of destruction brought by the children of Bhaal may come true after all. |
| 67106 I do not know. Balthazar sees no one, and has not for months. The gates are well guarded and even protected by spells placed by Balthazar's hired sorcerers. To force entry would be foolish. |
| 67107 Perhaps the smugglers know of a way in; it is hard to say. Word carries of boasts by a few of them that they have stolen into the fortress secretly for acts of thievery. This may be nothing more than idle tales, however. |
| 67113 Brown Dragon Acid Breath |
| 67114 Zakee Rafeha at your service, dear customer! Name your desire, and the Zephir will endeavor to provide it to you! |
| 67115 I'd like to ask you a few questions, if I could. |
| 67116 Let me see what you have available. |
| 67117 Never mind, I'll be going. |
| 67118 Blue Dragon Lightning Breath |
| 67119 I wish I could stop for a chat, but these mercenaries keep me far busier than I like. |
| 67120 You don't seem like the rest of these soldiers the monks have hired... thank the gods, I certainly need no more of them! |
| 67121 If you have an order, you'll have to give it to Zakee. I'm too busy right now, sorry. |
| 67122 Keep your hands and smart remarks to yourself. The Zephir's for washing the desert out of your throat and taking the weariness out of tired bones, that's all. |
| 67123 Yellow Dragon |
| 67124 Yellow Dragon |
| 67125 Hmph. Zakee's prices are outrageous! I suppose there's not much supply right now... but why should the tavern get everything? |
| 67126 The mercenaries keep the tavern well supplied with Calishite ales. But no food for the villagers! Not that I'm, ah, complaining, overly... *burp* |
| 67127 We're all doomed. Balthazar is raising an army to fight drow and mind flayers, of all things... we'll all be destroyed! |
| 67128 The monks used to help us. They used to guard Amkethran. *sigh* |
| 67129 Balthazar has cut off Amkethran from the outside world. We can't even leave if we like, because Balthazar would never let us return! |
| 67130 Some people have said that Balthazar plans to launch an attack soon into Tethyr, but that's bull. I heard some of the mercenaries talking about fighting dragons. Dragons! |
| 67131 If it were not for the smugglers, we would all be dead by now. I pray that Esamon finds some way to save us! |
| 67132 Begone! We get little enough rest allowed us as it is! |
| 67133 You're one of the strangers just come to town, aren't you? Well, we're not allowed to discuss our business with you folk, so begone. |
| 67134 I'm drinking my ale. Go drink yours, stranger. |
| 67135 If it's merc work you're looking for, go talk to the monks. Otherwise, leave me alone. |
| 67136 Balthazar found us in Riatavin. He pays well, but I'm told we're going to be fighting in the Underdark against some drow named Sendai... I don't know if any pay's enough for that. |
| 67137 I have no idea why these monks would want to go to war. But have you seen them fight? Astounding! |
| 67138 I'm not here to answer your questions. I've been given a little time to drink, that's all. |
| 67139 This dust mote of a village hardly deserves to exist. I don't understand why this Balthazar would want to launch some crusade against evil from here, but there you are. |
| 67140 The king and queen of Tethyr are gathering their own forces in Myratma. Posted a big bounty on some <PRO_MANWOMAN> who destroyed a town in the east. There's bound to be war all over Tethyr soon, it seems. |
| 67141 I heard Athkatla was sacked within the last month by the Sythillisians. And then the great ogre himself was revealed as a Bhaalspawn and killed by some fire giant. Incredible story, I think. |
| 67142 I heard an army tore through Schamadar a month ago to reach a powerful wizard's tower. He was a Bhaalspawn, and the city was razed just to destroy him! They said you could see the battle for miles. |
| 67143 Bah! Unless you are a mage, I have nothing to say to you! |
| 67144 Begone, fool. I care not for your worries. |
| 67145 Yellow Dragon Scorching Sand |
| 67146 You seem a learned type. Are you part of the Twisted Rune hired by Balthazar? I don't recognize you... |
| 67147 The Rune is getting impatient. Balthazar claims we will be fighting an army of dragons soon, but refuses to send us out or tell us when the battle will begin. And he seems to despise working with us... why he would even bother is beyond me. |
| 67148 They say Balthazar is a Bhaal child with great powers. Perhaps he plans conquest? It does not appear so... although appearances can be deceiving. |
| 67149 I have heard that there are numerous prisoners being kept in the fortress. Bhaalspawn, even. They say that Balthazar is hunting his own kin and imprisoning them. Interesting, no? |
| 67150 Fire Giant |
| 67151 Fire Giant |
| 67152 I suppose there is no harm... Everyone in town knows the name of Esamon, our leader. Esamon's exploits are legend among the smugglers and pirates of these lands. |
| 67153 Who's in charge of this place? |
| 67154 But Esamon is not here right now... he has been absent for several months, attending to some of his many ventures in other cities. For now I, Carras, am in charge. |
| 67155 Ah, the monks. Let's just say we all have an understanding... they leave us alone, and we leave them alone. |
| 67156 So you wouldn't know any way I could get inside the monastery? |
| 67157 Inside? Impossible. Even before Balthazar became the leader, that place was a fortress. And now, with those mages he's hired for extra protection... forget it. No one gets inside. |
| 67158 But I've heard rumors you smugglers know a way to get inside. |
| 67159 Well, do you know of any way I can get a meeting with Balthazar? |
| 67160 You shouldn't go around believing every rumor you hear. It'll get you into trouble. |
| 67161 Well, do you know of a way I could get a meeting with Balthazar? |
| 67162 Balthazar doesn't speak to anybody... ever. |
| 67163 He spoke to me when I first arrived in town. |
| 67164 He did? How very strange. Well, if that's true, you probably know more about Balthazar than I do. Anything else we can help you with? |
| 67165 Yes, I'd like to see your merchandise. |
| 67166 No, I'll be going now. |
| 67167 What do you know about Melissan? |
| 67168 I know the Lady Melissan used to be on good terms with Balthazar and the monastery, but I haven't seen much of her recently. Anything else I can help you with? |
| 67169 I'd like to see your merchandise. |
| 67170 No, I'll be going now. |
| 67171 What can you tell me about Balthazar and the monastery? |
| 67172 More mercenaries come in every day. Like we don't have enough already. |
| 67175 Don't you believe a word anyone says. Balthazar is no child of Bhaal. He hates them! All of them! I heard the man say it himself, I did! |
| 67178 Oh dear... there's been talk that all these mercenaries are here to protect us from a horde of drow led by a Bhaalspawn! Isn't that a horrible thought? |
| 67179 When will Balthazar stop bringing in mercenaries and start bringing in supplies for the town? |
| 67180 I hear Esamon's smugglers are running a black market from a cave on the outskirts of town. |
| 67182 Those mercenaries spend gold like water! If this inflation keeps up, even I won't be able to afford to eat! |
| 67183 I hear we have a black market right here in town! How exciting... I wonder where I might find it? |
| 67185 I heard the famous smuggler Esamon once stole a valuable idol from inside the monastery itself! |
| 67186 Esamon and his smugglers once stole a valuable idol from inside the monastery itself! At least, that's what I've heard. |
| 67187 When Gromnir Il-Khan arrived with the remnants of his army, he quickly drove out Count Santele and his forces. The count wasn't missed... at least not until Gromnir proved to be worse. |
| 67188 A few tales have been circulating that Count Santele is amassing a Tethyrian army a day's march away that will soon attack the giant's army... and execute Gromnir once that is complete. |
| 67189 The nerve! One of those loutish mercenaries made an indecent proposal to me! |
| 67190 I was told that there is an army of dragons ready to launch an attack on us. They come from somewhere called Abazigal. Have you ever heard of such a place? |
| 67191 Most people in Saradush wish that mage, Melissan, who cares for the Bhaalspawn as Elminster watches over Those Who Harp, had brought her charges elsewhere for their safety. |
| 67193 They say Esamon once stole an idol from right inside the monastery! What a daring, rakish rogue he is! Uh... please excuse me, I feel a little flushed at the moment. |
| 67194 Gromnir has had his wizards seal off the castle gates magically, and not even the servants have been able to come and go. There are some who claim that there is still a secret entrance inside, however. |
| 67195 Several sources claim that a section of the old underground jail was sealed off somehow because it is full of monsters. How they got there no one is sure. |
| 67196 There are many wild tales of vampires being loose in the city, though no one seems to have any details. Who would notice victims going missing in all this chaos? |
| 67197 When I grow up, I want to be a pirate like Esamon! |
| 67198 It is said the king and queen of Tethyr have been extremely busy gathering their own army to counter at least two others which have been ravaging the countryside, not including Gromnir's and the giant's forces. Destruction has been widespread. |
| 67199 I know a secret... there's some guys in a cave selling swords and stuff. |
| 67200 Many Bhaalspawn have been put to the torch elsewhere. In Calimport, one warrior god-child was hunted in the streets by the forces of a local sultan. Bounties have been placed on many others as well. |
| 67201 I'm hungry. |
| 67202 If I had a sword, Balthazar would pay me to join his army! |
| 67203 It is said that the town of Starmantle was half burned to the ground by an unknown army over a month ago, all to get at a Bhaalspawn wizard in his tower. He was beheaded, so the story goes. |
| 67204 Wizards have pointy hats. When I grow up, I want to be a wizard. |
| 67205 Papa says Balthazar is nel... negel... neligegenting his duty to protect us. |
| 67206 The sewer system of the city has been completely sealed off from entry. Rumor has it that the army outside tried to invade through the underground tunnels. |
| 67207 Papa says I can't go to the secret caves anymore. But I just want to see the pretty stuff they sell there. |
| 67209 Not much information of the outside world has reached Amkethran since Balthazar forbade the locals from leaving the village... and the smugglers from bringing in supplies. |
| 67210 Balthazar, the leader of the monastic order, has been holed up within his fortress for months. He meets with no one, although there are tales of strange visitors appearing suddenly and entering the fortress late at night. |
| 67211 The army of the great Luskan general Gromnir Il-Khan was heard to pass nearby... many fear that Il-Khan is planning an attack on Amkethran, and this is why Balthazar has been gathering troops. |
| 67212 A terrifying sight was reported by several villagers over a week ago... a flight of actual dragons was reported to pass overhead, heading northward. A dark omen, it is said. |
| 67213 The mercenaries brought to Amkethran by the monks seem to be restless. They want to fight, and complain that Balthazar is waiting too long. Waiting for what, however, is unknown. |
| 67214 Why, hullo again, <CHARNAME>. I have been waiting for you. |
| 67215 A trader came through town recently, bringing word of riots in Waterdeep touched off by the presence of a Bhaalspawn barbarian that was subsequently killed in a duel with one of the city elders. |
| 67216 Saemon Havarian! I must be cursed to keep running into you. |
| 67217 Several of the village elders have been spreading word of the old prophecies of Alaundo, and of the terrible destruction and savagery that will be visited onto the Sword Coast by the Bhaalspawn. Everyone is terrified! |
| 67218 Not you again! Just go away and leave me alone. |
| 67219 What's this, an ambush? |
| 67220 Big mistake staying here, Saemonâ€â€I've got a score to settle with you! |
| 67221 It is said that several of Balthazar's secret guests have been Bhaalspawn themselves... but that after their arrival, they have never been seen again. |
| 67231 The sky turned a deep red only two days ago. Elders said this was from a great spell being cast in the eastern lands. What effect this will have on us, we cannot say. |
| 67232 The mercenaries allow no supplies to come to the village, and with the harsh harvest, we can barely feed ourselves. Some of us have turned to begging or petty theft in order to stay alive. |
| 67233 You cannot use abilities, cast spells, or use items in this area. |
| 67253 Ah, Saemon, you have done well... delivering the Bhaalspawn as you promised. I assume they have been drugged. We do not want any trouble, after all. |
| 67256 I knew Balthazar was a fool to trust you, Saemon! |
| 67257 Hahahaha! Absolutely marvelous! |
| 67259 Enough! I'm tired of this! |
| 67260 Let's move in. |
| 67261 Helm's Scroll |
| 67262 Helm's Scroll |
| 67263 The journal is thick and filled out with various entries that are, at first, legible elvish... relating the writer's horror at being trapped in the maze and his frustration at the fact that even retracing your steps through a portal you have just traveled through will not lead you back to the area you just came from. The writer is obviously morose and guilty over abandoning his dead comrades, and his writing suffers over time... slowly degenerating into mad scribbles, paranoid ramblings about demons, and wild, repeated references to "Yakman" written all over the journal. Only once does the mad scripture give way to a clear section, some form of poetry which may be some manner of directions... or may be nothing more than drivel. "I stand in the room that shows the way, and I must get out of here. I flee towards the rising sun to find the pillar of stone is near." "I continue from there as I began and with the demon speak. He bids me south to journey onward, to run and not be weak." "South until the obelisk I find, with runes on every face. The setting sun draws me on, then, into its fiery red embrace." "From there I flee to the coldest north and lay down by the tree. But even there the north still calls, as to the north, I'm free." |
| 67264 Journal |
| 67265 The booklet is an extremely old and tattered journal of an adventurer by the name of Sir Kalthorine ut Wistan. The pages are yellowed with age and have been damaged by taloned feet walking over them... but various pieces are still readable. Sir Kalthorine comments more specifically on the dangers of finding his way past the demons and devils of this level of the keep, noting especially the "dead magic zones" in the blue rooms and the "wild magic zones" in the red rooms and that he had mostly reassembled the needed "Scepter of Radiance." One comment Sir Kalthorine makes is on the portals themselves: He thought the fact that you could reenter a portal you had just emerged from and not come out in the room it led from to be interesting... and considered the possibility that such a fact might be important in finding one's way through the maze. Beyond this, the only lengthy part seems to be Sir Kalthorine's utter disgust at the "betrayal" of the Knights of the Vigil for his predicament. Nothing more detailed can be found about this, and it seems especially odd as the journal appears to be perhaps half a century old or more. |
| 67266 We are tieflings... planars with fiendish ancestry, if you've never met such before. We exist to serve Aesgareth. |
| 67267 Shut your bone-box, berk. Speak to the cambion if you wish anything. |
| 67268 Aesgareth is a cambion... a half-fiend... who is our lord and master. Not a bad sort, really, though truth be told, he'll do anything for a good gamble. |
| 67269 I just want out of here. Heard nothin' good about the Prime. |
| 67270 Mind yer own, clueless. |
| 67271 We are members of a Helmite sect, the Knights of the Vigil. We are here on a most vital mission! |
| 67272 Speak to Odren, I beg you! We must fulfill our mission for Helm! |
| 67273 Thank you, stranger, for aiding us in our time of need. |
| 67274 Good luck to you. I pray that the Imprisoned One has not yet escaped! |
| 67275 If you desire any of our supplies, I'm sure Sister Garlena can aid you. |
| 67276 We shall pray for your quick success, <BROTHERSISTER>. The future of the Knights of the Vigil rests on your shoulders! |
| 67300 I greet you once again, god-child. The second of your revelations await you. |
| 67301 What, more details about my past? |
| 67302 I am ready. |
| 67303 I refuse to be continually dragged here for this nonsense. |
| 67311 There is a point to this, I hope? |
| 67312 Have you never questioned your origin as you might question your future? Do you truly believe that beings with godly power have no sense of themselves or put no reason to their actions? |
| 67313 As a being such as yourself grows in power, the universe strives to teach and make them ready. Choices will have to be made. Be unprepared, and you will have an eternity to regret. |
| 67314 But no matter. I have explained these things to you already. I will repeat myself no further... listen and learn, or do not. As you wish. |
| 67315 Hold it right there... what's the password? |
| 67316 Bhaal's taint must be purged. |
| 67317 I forget the password. |
| 67318 All hail Balthazar! |
| 67319 Back off or I'll slit your throat! |
| 67320 Sorry to have bothered you. We can't be too careful with that Bhaalspawn <CHARNAME> wandering about. |
| 67321 Wrong answerâ€â€intruders! To arms! |
| 67322 Intruders! To arms! |
| 67323 You thereâ€â€are you the new reinforcements Balthazar hired? |
| 67324 Bhaal's taint must be purged! |
| 67325 Yes... yes, we're the new reinforcements. |
| 67326 Noâ€â€I'm <CHARNAME>, and I'm here to kill Balthazar! |
| 67327 I didn't ask for the password! Bloody newbies blurting out our secret codes all over the place. Just move along, and don't be so overeager. |
| 67328 Okay, you know the drill. Let's have the password. |
| 67329 Bhaal's taint must be purged. |
| 67330 Good. I hope you have pondered your origin, for any being of great power must know much of themselves before they can put reason to their actions. Let us continue. |
| 67331 All hail Balthazar! |
| 67332 Uh... I forget the password. |
| 67333 How about I just kill you instead? |
| 67334 Close enough. Move along and keep your eyes open for that Bhaalspawn <PRO_RACE>. |
| 67335 Intruders! Don't even try to take them alive, men! |
| 67336 Balthazar sure pays well... wouldn't you agree? |
| 67337 I think Balthazar has gone overboard. Do you really think we need this many guards to stop one <PRO_RACE> Bhaalspawn? |
| 67338 Keep your eyes peeledâ€â€I hear there's a nice bonus for whoever kills that <CHARNAME>! |
| 67339 The Bhaalspawn is here! Attack! |
| 67340 This is private property. What are you doing here? |
| 67341 I'm just passing through. |
| 67342 I'm looking for a Bhaalspawn named Sendai. |
| 67343 Who are you? |
| 67344 Look, I don't want no trouble or nothing. I'm just a poor woodcutter trying to make a living. Just do the neighborly thing and move along. |
| 67345 My name is none of your business, stranger. This is my land, and I don't like people prowling around in my woods. |
| 67346 Sorry, I'm just passing through. |
| 67347 Actually, I was told there might be a Bhaalspawn named Sendai in these parts. |
| 67348 I go where I want, when I want! |
| 67349 I don't answer to you! I go where I want, when I want. |
| 67350 A Bhaalspawn? Huh... I don't know nothing about that. But when I was over chopping firewood by the clearing to the west of here, I thought I caught a glimpse of some funny-looking elves. |
| 67351 Could have been my imagination, though. I ain't never seen elves with black skin before. And they were only there for a second before they vanished. |
| 67352 I don't normally like strangers in my woods, but if you want to check out my story, I guess that would be okay. Look for the wood carts in the southwest clearing of this forest. |
| 67353 Thank you. I'll go investigate your story. |
| 67354 This time we are not concerned with your past, god-child. Now we will look at your present. The prophecy proceeds towards its climax, as I am sure you are well aware. |
| 67355 Do you know anything about that fresh grave I stumbled across in the forest? |
| 67356 So you're all alone out here, eh? Hand over everything of value, and I'll let you live! |
| 67357 Your place in this prophecy is what is in question, perhaps. This question will be answered this once by yourself... |
| 67358 I... I am <CHARNAME>, spawn of Bhaal. Why am I here?! Answer me! |
| 67359 You are here to tell yourself of the prophecy and your own place in it. |
| 67360 Hope you find what you're looking for. |
| 67361 Do you know anything about the fresh graves I stumbled across in the forest? |
| 67362 What do I care of my place in some prophecy? It means nothing to me. |
| 67363 Will knowing this prove some advantage to me? |
| 67364 I know my place... I am the Bhaalspawn which leaves the Sword Coast awash with blood. |
| 67365 I know my place... I will take my father's power. |
| 67366 I would prefer to find a way to avoid my destiny, if I could. |
| 67367 You again? Guess you ain't gonna give me no peace. What do you want now, stranger? |
| 67368 Nothing. I'm just passing through. |
| 67369 I'm actually looking for a Bhaalspawn named Sendai. |
| 67370 You may choose to stumble about blindly, if you wish, but knowledge of yourself brings power... and control over your destiny. Listen as you speak. |
| 67371 So you're all alone out here? Maybe I should kill you and loot your cabin! |
| 67372 Knowledge of yourself brings power, god-child... and control over your destiny. Ponder what advantage can be derived here if you wish. Listen as you speak. |
| 67373 What's the matter? You didn't understand my directions? Just head to the southwest corner of the forest. That's where I saw them dark elves. |
| 67374 Perhaps you are at least partly correct... but not completely. Knowledge of yourself brings power, god-child... and control over your destiny. Listen as you speak. |
| 67375 Destiny may not always be avoided. If you are to have a say in which path is taken, listen as you speak. |
| 67376 Now what do you want, stranger? |
| 67377 So, this... this is a copy of myself that I address, solar? |
| 67378 I found those drow... but I didn't find Sendai. |
| 67379 It is a piece of you. Perhaps from another time, another dimension... but you nevertheless. Speak to yourself of Alaundo's prophecy, I bid you. |
| 67380 Actually, I want to ask you about that freshly dug grave out in your woods. |
| 67382 Yes, I... I suppose it makes sense. I was once taught of the prophecy in this way, wasn't I? It only makes sense that I would do it myself in the future. |
| 67383 Listen closely. |
| 67384 Drow? Is that what them dark elves is called? Drow... sounds creepy. You know, come to think of it, there's been some other creepy stuff I noticed lately. |
| 67385 I was visiting my wife's grave just north of here when I thought I heard some strange voices. It almost seemed like they was talking right inside my head! But when I looked around, I saw nothing. |
| 67386 Why didn't you mention this earlier? |
| 67387 Well, I guess I'll go investigate the graves. |
| 67389 I just remembered it now. At the time, I figured it was the wind, or my imagination. But now that I think about it, it seems like there might be something out there worth investigating. |
| 67390 Just look for the gravesite directly north of the cabin. It's just up the path a ways. I bet you'll find what you're looking for there. |
| 67391 The grave? That's where I buried my dear, beloved wife. She passed away recently, and now it's just me and my animals. I don't like to talk about it, you understand. |
| 67392 I'm sorry. I had no idea. |
| 67393 What happened to your wife? |
| 67394 That's funny... there seemed to be signs of a struggle around the grave. |
| 67395 Please, it's too painful for me to discuss. I beg you, never mention this again. |
| 67396 You are the center of the prophecy. But not in the way you think. You bring murder to all you touch, that is true... the ones you hate, the ones you help, even the ones you love. This is part of your nature. |
| 67397 Very well. I will leave you to your grief. |
| 67398 But this is not what the prophecy speaks of. The Bhaalspawn shall bring chaos and destroy much of Faerûn... but this is not done by you. |
| 67399 Okay, just don't think about it. I don't want you getting all weepy on me. |
| 67400 Please, just tell me what happened to your wife. It might be important. |
| 67401 You have already killed several of those Bhaalspawn who the prophecy speaks of, those who would bring this destruction. You bring death, yes, but it is nothing like what they would do if they are successful. |
| 67402 What is it you surfacers say? "Curiosity killed the cat"? Here's your answer, little kittyâ€â€the woodcutter's body lies beneath! By Sendai's will, you shall join him! |
| 67403 You are here to stop them, <CHARNAME>. Whether you intend to or not, you exist to prevent the prophecy from coming true. The prophecy warns of your failure... not of you. |
| 67404 That's ridiculous... I am far more terrible than any of these Bhaalspawn I kill! |
| 67405 I have no desire to stop anyone. They can destroy all of Faerûn; I care not. |
| 67406 I have some questions about that fresh grave out in the woods. |
| 67407 But if I succeed, I will become greater than any of them, right? |
| 67408 If I exist to stop the prophecy instead of making it true, then so be it. |
| 67409 I'm still curious about that fresh grave in the woods. |
| 67410 That is a relief... I had no desire to cause the destruction the prophecy tells of. |
| 67411 I have some more questions I want to ask you about that grave. |
| 67412 I don't care about anything you say. I'll do as I like, not as I'm directed. |
| 67413 I cannot talk right now. *sob*... I need a minute to collect myself. |
| 67414 Thank you. I'll go there. |
| 67415 Actually, I wanted to ask you about that grave I stumbled across. |
| 67416 I hate to bring it up again, but I want some more information on that grave out in the woods. |
| 67417 Hope you find what you're looking for. |
| 67418 Thank you. I'll go there now. |
| 67419 Actually, I saw the grave earlier. It seems like it was freshly dug. |
| 67422 I have a few more questions I want to ask you about that grave in the woods. |
| 67423 You yet live? Bah! My underlings are pathetic and weak, and Sendai would have them killed regardless! Very wellâ€â€I will finish what they could not! |
| 67424 If their plans succeed, <CHARNAME>, the result shall be worse than anything you could do by accident. This does not mean that power does not await you. Not at all. |
| 67425 But succeeding in their plans means they must eventually destroy you. And they will try... it's up to you to decide whether they succeed or not. Seems like an easy decision to me. |
| 67426 The prophecy does not concern itself with what will happen to you, <CHARNAME>. But... I'm sure you can well imagine the possibilities. |
| 67427 I felt as you do once. Brace yourself for what comes next, <CHARNAME>... I'll tell you that much. |
| 67428 You have been counseled by your own self. You are now aware of your place in these events and why you are here. Not every soul gets such an opportunity. |
| 67429 Hmph. Whoever that is, <PRO_HESHE> doesn't sound much like me. |
| 67430 Thank you, solar. |
| 67431 Yeah, yeah, whatever. |
| 67432 This piece of yourself is here as if in a dream, speaking not as if awake, as you will speak in such a dream one day. For now, there is but one more question. |
| 67433 Then there is but one more question before you may return to your path. |
| 67434 When you return to the waking world, you will continue to speed towards your purpose... stopping the prophecy from coming true. My question... why will you do this? |
| 67435 *snort* Because it seems I have no choice, as always! |
| 67436 To stop them from killing me first, why else? |
| 67437 Because the other Bhaalspawn stand between me and my rightful place of power. |
| 67438 I will prevent the destruction of the land because it is the right thing to do. |
| 67439 The quicker I get this "destiny" over with, the quicker I can start the rest of my life. |
| 67440 Errr... because if it weren't for world-shaking prophecies, life would be boring? |
| 67441 I don't plan on doing it, regardless of what you say. |
| 67442 Your answer will not sit well with my master, Sendai. |
| 67443 You dare threaten me here, in my own enclave? |
| 67444 Balthazar's army grows stronger with each passing day, Sendai. You know how this will end! |
| 67445 Begone, and tell your master I know who my true allies are! |
| 67446 So be it. Your fate is sealed, Sendai... you and all your kind. |
| 67447 Damn that Bennon and all the... What is this? |
| 67448 Forgive me, mistress. A-an intruder has entered our underground complex, and the sentries have not yet reported back. |
| 67449 Sniveling maggot! I cannot waste my time with such petty annoyances! Set the slaves in the north tunnels and release my pets into the south. That should put an end to this intruder! |
| 67450 Perception is truth in this one instance, god-child. Consider what you have learned... and farewell. |
| 67451 Mistress! Your plan has failed... your servants have been slaughtered, and the invader continues to advance! |
| 67452 Slaughtered? And the intruder yet lives? Impossible! |
| 67453 I swear it is true, mistress. A-and... forgive me, mistress, but... there is something else... |
| 67454 If you value your life, you will cease your stammering and speak, Captain! |
| 67455 I have learned that the intruder is a B... Bhaalspawn! We are under assault from Gorion's ward! |
| 67456 No! Why was I not told of this immediately? They must be stopped! |
| 67457 Y-y-yes, mistress. W-what are your orders? |
| 67458 This Bhaalspawn is far too powerful to trust their destruction to your incompetent hands, Captain! You are of no further use to me! |
| 67459 Diaytha, my priestess... destroy this intruder. Gorion's ward must not be allowed to reach this chamber! |
| 67460 Yes, mistress. I will do as you command. |
| 67461 Do not underestimate this invader's power! Stop them at any cost! If you fail, Diaytha, you will share the same fate as the unfortunate captain! |
| 67462 Of course, Mistress Sendai. I will unleash all of your drow forces against our foe. |
| 67463 Yes, Mistress Sendai! It shall be as you command. |
| 67464 Sendai's lair I have come seeking my Bhaalspawn enemy, but have found only a simple woodsman. However, he has mentioned strange occurrences on his property that may be worth investigating. |
| 67465 Sendai's lair The woodsman was in truth a disguised drow agent of Sendai. I have no doubt I will find the entrance to her enclave hidden within the woodsman's cabin. |
| 67466 Diaytha is dead, and the rogue Bhaalspawn draws ever closer! Mithykyl, my mind flayer ally... you must stop the fool before this goes further! |
| 67467 Do not wave your tentacles at me, Mithykyl! I have no other choice... my minions are slaughteredâ€â€even my priestess has been destroyed. |
| 67468 If you wish to feast on the brains of those that Bhaal enslaves, you will unleash your illithid on the Bhaal child that invades the enclave. You must not allow the interloper to reach my inner sanctum! |
| 67469 My army has been slaughtered, falling helplessly before your might. You would have made a great ally to our cause. Alas, the time for such possibilities is past. |
| 67470 But the lives of my servants and slaves have not been spent in vain... they have bought me time to prepare a special surprise for you. Prepare to meet your end, Bhaalspawn! |
| 67471 Sendai's lair The bloody carnage is over, and another of the Five has fallen. I am drawing ever closer to the end of these events... and whatever destiny awaits me. |
| 67472 Forward, slaves! Destroy the intruder, or the mistress will flay our flesh until we beg for death! |
| 67473 So you are the one who has caused so much trouble... I must admit, I am not impressed. |
| 67474 I am here for Sendai. Stand aside or die! |
| 67475 Does Sendai think she can stop me by constantly throwing these pathetic slaves in my way? |
| 67476 We'll see how impressed you are when you lie dying at my feet! |
| 67477 Your slaughter-filled progress has greatly alarmed my mistress. If I defeat you, my reward will be truly worthwhile. |
| 67478 Oh, Captain, my captain! |
| 67479 You... speak the truth, my mono-ocular friend. I would rather claim the credit for such a deed myself. Have you a suggestion? |
| 67480 I'm just thinking it would be *so* much better if you fought <CHARNAME> in single combat. Then you could claim to have killed <PRO_HIMHER> all by yourself. Even the matrons couldn't refute that. Parades, gold, a new torture rack, it'd all be yours. |
| 67481 I will never agree to this! |
| 67482 Excellent... I love a good pit fight! |
| 67483 How do I know you will not betray me if I agree to this? |
| 67484 If you do not agree, my archers will slay you where you stand. I am afraid you have little choice. |
| 67485 Not to worry... I have it covered. I happen to have a little geas spell with me here. Loser of the match dies along with all their allies in the room. So what do you say? Are you a gambling <PRO_MANWOMAN>? |
| 67486 No... this is ridiculous! |
| 67487 Very well, I agree to these terms. |
| 67488 It seems I don't have much choice. Okay, let's get this over with. |
| 67489 How do I know you won't just betray me if you lose? |
| 67490 Cast your spell, beholder. We shall begin immediately. <CHARNAME>... prepare yourself. |
| 67491 Fine. Let's get this over with. |
| 67497 Once you're all ready to start, I'll cast the geas... so when one of you dies in the fight, everyone who followed that person dies with them. |
| 67498 Ahhh... and so it ends. And so does my service with this particular drow dolt. I mean, what's with these drow? Have they nothing better to do than summon me for their stupid tasks? |
| 67502 Please... I've got a brain too, not just a bunch of eyes. I'm not going to fight you, of all people. Now that the good captain is dead, I'll just be on my merry way thank you very much. Things to go, places to do and all that. |
| 67503 Oh, what? Did you really think I would cast that geas on myself too? That would be stupid. |
| 67504 Then I suppose killing you is next on my list of things to do. |
| 67505 Very well, treacherous creature... prepare to die! |
| 67506 So what are you going to do now? |
| 67508 You mean I don't get to kill you? |
| 67509 So you're just going to let me pass unhindered? |
| 67510 I don't trust you. As soon as I turn my back, you'll come after me. |
| 67511 Ha! You're way too powerful for me to even *THINK* about taking you on. Just don't collapse the whole mountainside until I'm out of here, all right? |
| 67512 I greet you once again, god-child. You near the final stage of your destiny. All will become most complicated very soon. |
| 67513 No more complicated than it's ever been. |
| 67515 Nonsense. These Bhaalspawn cannot stand before me. |
| 67516 Forget it! Let your archers do their worst. |
| 67517 The dead are never complicated. I will rule all soon. |
| 67518 Then any help you could provide would be appreciated. |
| 67519 *SIGH* As you wish. Open fire. |
| 67520 I only hope I will be able to hold on to what is good and righteous. |
| 67521 We shall see. You have fought against brother and sister in recent days... fought and prevailed as they arrayed their forces against you. You have done well. |
| 67522 The most powerful children of Bhaal gathered themselves together years ago. You know them as the Five. Together, they hoped their power would destroy all others of their kind. |
| 67523 But what you do not know is why... what purpose your siblings have for their actions. You may suspect... but hear the truth from the lips of one you have murdered... |
| 67525 Why... why am I called? Why is Yaga-Shura disturbed? |
| 67526 You shall explain the truth of your actions, spirit, to the one that killed you. |
| 67527 Hmph. If I was killed by that one, then I don't owe nobody nothing! |
| 67528 You shall answer our questions of the Five. |
| 67529 The Five, eh? Hmph. Yaga-Shura owes them, all right. Sure, Iâ€â€I'll speak. |
| 67530 I was approached when I was still at the temple, still being taught the powers of Bhaal by the old witch. The greatest of all the Bhaalspawn were joining forces, I was told. We would defeat all others before us! |
| 67531 Yaga-Shura didn't trust the others. Figured sooner or later the Bhaalspawn would turn on each other. Figured I was stronger than the rest of them, maybe. But not all of them together. |
| 67532 So I joined. Raised an army of men and slaughtered all the Bhaalspawn we could, waiting for enough of the essence to collect in the Abyss... |
| 67533 For Bhaal, the dead god and your father, to be resurrected as he had planned before his death. |
| 67534 And we would be his right hands, all five of us. That's what we were promised. We would live as demigods, ruling Faerûn with our power. Ha hahahahahahaha! It was worth taking a chance for, Yaga-Shura thinks! |
| 67535 So the Five sought to resurrect your father and become demigods. What does this mean to you, god-child? |
| 67536 Very little. Isn't that what all these Bhaalspawn want? It's over now anyway. |
| 67537 It means their plan has failed, and I will become supreme instead. |
| 67538 It means that their plan is defeated... Bhaal will remain where he is: dead! |
| 67539 It wasn't what I thought they were up to, but it's all over now anyway. |
| 67542 Ha! You are a fool to think the Five are defeated now. Of all of Bhaal's children, who do you think possessed the most of his essence? You, certainly... but we Five as well. |
| 67543 How many of the Five have you killed? Myself? Illasera? Probably Abazigal and Sendai, too? That is a lot of Bhaal's essence... and still one Bhaalspawn remaining. |
| 67544 Balthazar. |
| 67545 Yes... Balthazar. If anything, fool, you have stirred Bhaal in his slumber. He is closer now to awakening than ever before! |
| 67546 The last of the Five yet remains, god-child, and your father stirs. What will you do? |
| 67547 Welcome, <CHARNAME>... I have been expecting you. Sendai is a fool if she thinks her petty minions can defeat the likes of you. I, however, shall delight in your destruction. |
| 67548 Your arrogance is matched only by your evil, lich! |
| 67549 Many have tried before you, and all have failed. Prepare to die! |
| 67550 How many more of Sendai's lapdogs must I kill before she comes to meet me herself? |
| 67551 I do not serve Sendai... I merely tolerate her existence for my own profit! Perhaps once I have disposed of you, I will reevaluate my relationship with Sendai. |
| 67552 I have no need of allies who cannot deal with their own problems. Perhaps once I have squashed you, I will have to reevaluate my relationship with Sendai. |
| 67553 I'll just have to stop Balthazar, and Bhaal too if it comes to that. |
| 67554 Balthazar can't stop me from taking my rightful place. And neither can my dead father. |
| 67555 I would prefer to just leave, but I probably won't have a choice. |
| 67556 If I can kill Balthazar before he raises Bhaal, I'd prefer not to deal with my so-called "father" at all. |
| 67557 Slaughter. Maim. Destroy. What comes naturally. |
| 67558 Then continue on your path, god-child. I shall see you soon enough. |
| 67559 NO! NOOO! My Bhaal essence is ripped from my very soul! Damn you! But I may yet rob you of the glory of your victory! |
| 67560 Know this: Even as I die... the return of our father is inevitable. Though I fall, the others will ensure Bhaal is reborn! |
| 67561 I can serve my father far better than they ever could. |
| 67562 Know this, even as I die... you are a fool! You have been used and misled. Witness the truth to which you have been so blind! |
| 67564 Nothing you do to the glass seems to affect it. |
| 67565 The greatest of the Bhaalspawn, the Five, have been destroyed, god-child. Nearly all of Bhaal's essence has been returned to the source... your journey is nearly complete. |
| 67566 But the Five aren't destroyed! Melissan remains! |
| 67567 So Bhaal is being resurrected, is that what you're telling me? |
| 67568 So what do I have to do now? |
| 67569 Yeah, yeah. Let's just get this over with, then. |
| 67570 The one you know as Melissan is not a member of the Five, god-child. She is no child of Bhaal. |
| 67571 The dead god Bhaal has not been resurrected. You must understand what awaits you at the end of your journey, god-child... and for this, the one you know as Melissan will explain for herself. |
| 67572 I am here. Speak quickly. |
| 67573 You are here at my sufferance, spirit. You will answer our questions. |
| 67574 I am no dead thing! You have called a piece of a living goddess to you... however you have done it. Should I become aware of what you have done, you will pay dearly! |
| 67575 You are no goddess yet, mortal. The prophecy has not come to fruition. |
| 67576 It will soon enough. Everything has happened as I wished it... and this will be no different. All of Bhaal's essence will be mine! |
| 67577 Then explain yourself. If you are correct, it shall make no difference in the end. |
| 67578 True enough! So be it. My name is Amelyssan the Blackhearted, High Matriarch and greatest Deathstalker of my Lord Murder's Bhaalist temple. 'Twas I who led all the chants in his holy name! |
| 67579 'Twas I who harbored his avatar when the Lord of Murder was cast down to walk amongst us in the Time of Troubles. To his greatest priestess did he come for succor! |
| 67580 To my most trusted Deathstalker did I entrust the secrets of my resurrection. |
| 67581 One of his priesthood needed to have access to the essence that would be collected from the Bhaalspawn... one of his priesthood would have to perform the necessary rites to give the dead Lord of Murder back that essence. |
| 67582 And so great Lord Bhaal entrusted that duty to me. After his death, I alone retained access to his essence. And my power grew as each one of his mortal children died, their divinity returning to the source. |
| 67583 And so you have betrayed me, Amelyssan the Blackhearted. The time draws nigh, and yet you perform no rites! |
| 67584 That is correct. Remain dust, my foolish god. |
| 67585 It was I who created the Five... loosed the god-spawn at each other's throats, all the while promising those fools that they would serve at Bhaal's right hand. Well, they can... in Limbo, for all I care. |
| 67586 It was I who masqueraded as the protector of Bhaalspawn, herding the ones that the Five could not find to their doom. I led the last Bhaalspawns to Saradush and had them slaughtered! |
| 67587 But you couldn't have known that I would be there. |
| 67588 No, that's true. I knew that Illasera would perish against your might... but I did not expect you to show up quite so soon. Still, you proved a fortunate arrival. |
| 67589 Getting rid of one of the Five without it looking like my doing was one thing... mm, but with you already in Saradush, I could turn you on Yaga-Shura as well. After I let him into Saradush to kill the other Bhaalspawn, of course. |
| 67590 And then you turned on the rest of those paranoid fools while I distracted them. The Five were the last thing I had to deal with before I could become the Lady of Murder myself... and you've dealt with them nicely. |
| 67591 Turned Paladin |
| 67593 It's not over while I'm still alive! |
| 67594 You tricked and used me! I will kill you for that! |
| 67595 You've taken MY rightful place! I won't allow it! |
| 67597 I'll stop you, Melissan. You won't get away with this. |
| 67598 So you've gotten what you wanted. No need for me to be involved, then. |
| 67599 Lady of Murder, eh? Any chance you need a right-hand <PRO_MANWOMAN>? |
| 67600 I have most of the essence of Bhaal under my control, fool! I am nearly a goddess! I control the entire Abyssal realm that was once Bhaal's, all of the Throne of Blood. |
| 67601 Do you dare come and face me there? Or shall I have to hunt you down like the sorry dog that you are? |
| 67602 You are the single strongest Bhaalspawn that has ever been, more potent than any single one of the Five, even. Your essence belongs to ME, and I WILL have it! |
| 67603 I am nearly a goddess... With your essence added to that of the rest of the Bhaalspawn, I will control all of Bhaal's Abyssal realm, the Throne of Blood! |
| 67604 Oh, I'll come all right. The Throne of Bhaal belongs to me! |
| 67605 I'd confront your kind of evil wherever I had to go... and I will win. |
| 67606 I will never let you get away with this! Someone has to stop you! |
| 67607 It appears you leave me little choice. Too bad for you. |
| 67608 Oh, stop. Now you're scaring me. *yawn* |
| 67609 If you were any good, Melissan, you wouldn't have needed to resort to trickery in the first place. |
| 67610 Then why wait?! Let's see how the prophecy ends right here and now! |
| 67611 Enough! A battle here will solve nothing. |
| 67612 Your course is set, god-child. Return to your pocket plane... and when you are ready, you will need to end its existence. Then you will be within the Throne of Blood, and Melissan will be at hand. |
| 67613 She is not yet done taking the essence of Bhaal's children. I suggest that you move quickly, god-child. The final act of the prophecy awaits. |
| 67614 As you wish! |
| 67615 Looking up, you see the exit in the roof has been boarded over. |
| 67616 The wood of this ladder clearly looks rotten. To climb it would be foolish. |
| 67618 Who dare disturbs Draconis? More pestering emissaries from the cloistered monastery? Surely when the last batch did not return, Balthazar would have learned his lesson. |
| 67619 No... I see I am wrong. You are not brothers of the tattooed one. *sniff* I smell the taint of Bhaal on you. |
| 67620 I am <CHARNAME>, and I'm here to destroy you! |
| 67621 Stand aside, Draconis. This is between me and Abazigal. |
| 67622 My father warned me of you, <CHARNAME>... the Bhaalspawn kin who would steal his destiny. And my birthright! |
| 67623 Your father? Are you Abazigal's son? |
| 67624 Your only destiny is to die by my sword! |
| 67625 Birthright? What are you talking about? |
| 67626 As if a mere <PRO_RACE> were even worthy of having an immortal's essence flowing through their veins! My kind are the only creatures deserving of Bhaal's taint! |
| 67627 Your kind? What are you talking about? |
| 67628 I sense this is going to end in violence. |
| 67629 The only thing you deserve is a quick and gruesome death! |
| 67630 You cannot stop this, <CHARNAME>! The Lord of Murder shall rise again, and I shall prove myself worthy to Abazigal by bathing in your tainted blood! |
| 67631 You think I can be defeated so easily? More evidence of your species' inferiority! Witness the future, <CHARNAME>! |
| 67632 Don't touch me with your scaly claws! *cough* ...no more torture... I beg you. |
| 67633 Who are you and what are you doing here? |
| 67634 Claws? You must be delirious from your injuries. |
| 67635 Are you hurt? How can I help you? |
| 67636 You... you have no scales. You are no fish man! Please, you must listen to me. Abazigal must be stopped! |
| 67637 I... I can help you. Help you to defeat Abazigal. I know the secrets of this place. I feared my knowledge would die with me, but now I can pass it on to you! |
| 67641 That is why I am here. |
| 67642 I would stop Abazigal... if I could find him. |
| 67643 I want to know who you are before I trust you! |
| 67644 My injuries are too severe, my tortured body defiled so that even healing magics can no longer save me. *cough* I resisted death's soothing embrace only out of duty to Balthazar. *cough* *hack* But now you will kill Abazigal, and I am freed from my obligations in this world. |
| 67645 You notice something odd about the dragon. Its blank eyes stare straight ahead, oblivious to your presence. As you approach, the beast speaks... though it does not seem to be speaking to you. |
| 67650 On your knees before you enter the presence of Abazigal! Bow before his ruthless might! |
| 67651 The cavern echoes with the voice of the dragon, though the words seem somewhat forced and unnatural: |
| 67652 *snort* Such impatience to seal your own fate. Very well, I will grant your request. |
| 67653 Within the dragon's eyes, you see a look of great suffering, as if the beast were in unfathomable pain. It opens its jaws and speaks in its strangely unnatural voice: |
| 67654 Perhaps you have the power to break Abazigal's spell, Bhaalspawn. You have the scroll of reversal. I feel... its power. Free me from... m-my bondage! |
| 67656 What is my reward if I release you from this geas? |
| 67657 Your only freedom will come from death! |
| 67658 I... welcome... such... release. |
| 67662 I will... give you... the wardstone... to pass. You can... kill... Abazigal! |
| 67663 With the geas broken, the dragon's glazed eyes clear. Its mighty voice rings out through the cavern, sure and strong: |
| 67666 The enchantment is broken! I am free from this accursed servitude to that bastard half-breed! Free to leave this place and never return! |
| 67667 You promised to give me the wardstone to pass these gates. Remember? |
| 67668 I set you free! I demand you show me some respect, wyrm! |
| 67669 You are a fool, puny one, to bargain with a dragon. We care little for promises made to the likes of you. |
| 67671 But you are in luck, tiny manling. Abazigal must pay for what he did to me, but I am not eager to allow myself to fall victim to his snares once more. |
| 67675 Therefore, I will honor our agreement and give you the wardstone before I leave this vile place. May you extract unholy vengeance on the mongrel half-breed's head! |
| 67682 Welcome! I have watched your progress with great interest. For a lesser creature, you are quite amusing! |
| 67683 Save your taunts. You are not worthy of having Bhaal's blood within you! Only a dragon is worthy of containing the Lord of Murder's immortal essence! |
| 67684 Vile Bhaalspawn! I shall wipe your taint from the earth! |
| 67685 Lesser creature? Maybe you'll change your tune after I end your miserable life. |
| 67686 Hope you're amused when I "progress" a blade through your heart, Abazigal! |
| 67687 A dragon? From what I hear, you're nothing but a mongrel half-breed. |
| 67688 You sound like your son Draconis. I enjoyed killing him, too. |
| 67689 I look forward to cleansing the realms of your evil existence, Abazigal. |
| 67690 Those insolent words shall be your last! |
| 67691 NO! It cannot be... the grand flames of my existence snuffed out by this pathetic fool! But know this: Your victory is flawed. |
| 67692 Know this even as I die... the return of our father is inevitable. Though I fall, the others will ensure Bhaal is reborn! |
| 67693 Know this even as I die, fool! You have been used and misled. Witness the truth to which you have been so blind! |
| 67694 <CHARNAME>... your presence here shows me how foolish I have been in gathering my army of mercenaries. I truly regret my wasted efforts at the expense of Amkethran's citizens. |
| 67695 I demand to know where Melissan is! |
| 67696 I know your secret, Balthazar. You were working with Abazigal and Sendai! |
| 67697 I am the child of a god! Did you really think your pathetic army could stop me? |
| 67698 I assure you, the Lady Melissan is not here. We had a... disagreement from which she hastily departed. I shall deal with her once my business with you is finished. |
| 67699 Save your lies! I know you were working with Abazigal and Sendai. |
| 67700 No, in truth I had other plans for my army. But since you killed Abazigal and Sendai, I have no further need of these mercenaries who so drain the monastery's treasury. |
| 67701 Spare me your lies... I know you were working with Abazigal and Sendai. |
| 67702 I suppose it may have appeared as such, though in truth I have plotted their destruction ever since Melissan recruited me into the Five. |
| 67703 What kind of lies are you spinning now? |
| 67704 Look beyond the surface, <CHARNAME>. The truth lies buried deepâ€â€as it often does when dealing with those of Bhaal's treacherous blood. |
| 67705 Are you saying Melissan is the leader of the Five? |
| 67706 Are you trying to tell me that you are one of the Five? A Bhaalspawn? |
| 67707 Melissan recognized the taint of Bhaal within me, just as she recognized it in Sendai, Abazigal, and the others. Just as she recognized it in you. |
| 67708 She lured me with promises of power and glory, but I followed her for a different reason. Only by joining the Five could I discover who the others wereâ€â€and plot their demise. |
| 67709 So you used me to betray the other Bhaalspawn for your own goals. |
| 67710 I guess by killing your "allies," I have done your dirty work for you. |
| 67711 You mean you manipulated me, used me as a tool against the other Bhaalspawn. |
| 67712 I wish I could take the credit for this brilliant ruse, <CHARNAME>. But it seems I was not the only member of the Five who plotted the downfall of the others. |
| 67713 Melissan is the puppet master pulling your strings in this staged production. I have merely tried to stay out of your path for as long as possible, anxious to see if you would prevail. |
| 67714 This is all just an elaborate lieâ€â€I don't believe you! |
| 67715 Why would Melissan have gathered the Five only to plot their destruction? |
| 67716 It matters not, <CHARNAME>. In the end, both Melissan and I have what we want: The other members of the Five are dead, though she and I remain at odds. |
| 67717 And now I suppose you plan to kill me so you can resurrect Bhaal all by yourself? |
| 67718 Abazigal's enclave I have found the entrance to Abazigal's cavernous realm and had the pleasure of meeting his son, Draconis. I imagine the encounter with the father will be equally unpleasant. |
| 67719 Abazigal's enclave The half-dragon Bhaalspawn is dead, and I have taken another step on the road of my destiny... though where the journey will ultimately end, I cannot say. |
| 67720 Assault on the enclaves Both Sendai and Abazigal are dead, but I have been shown a disturbing visionâ€â€Balthazar and Melissan locked in fierce combat. The disappearance of Lady Melissan is suddenly not so strange, and I cannot help but wonder at the depths of Balthazar's involvement with the Five. To find answers, I must somehow find a way into the monastery and confront Balthazar... though I suspect one of us will not survive the encounter. |
| 67721 Assault on the enclaves My old friend Saemon has shown up yet again, warning me that Balthazar's army of mercenaries is waiting for me should I enter the town. The deceitful pirate promised to get me inside, but I spurned his offer. I have been betrayed by Saemon one too many times to trust him again. |
| 67722 Assault on the enclaves Circumstances have forced me into yet another alliance with Saemon Havarian, as he has promised to show me a way into Balthazar's monastery that avoids the hordes of mercenaries standing guard in the town. I don't trust the pirate, but I have little choice. |
| 67723 Assault on the enclaves Saemon came through as promised... eventually. Armed with the password and disguised by the stolen uniforms, I will be able to enter the monastery and confront Balthazar! |
| 67724 Oh no, <CHARNAME>. I have no such designs. Bhaal's taint is an evil blight upon the world. I have no intention of bringing the Lord of Murder back into existence. |
| 67725 My plan is much more altruistic. I have vowed to exterminate all of Bhaal's children, forever wiping the realms clean of his tainted existence. You have merely helped me in my goal. |
| 67726 But you are a child of Bhaal as wellâ€â€what happens to you? |
| 67727 Once I am certain I am the last, once I know there are no others, I will perform a ritual suicide. Bhaal's evil will die with me. But first, I must end your evil existence. |
| 67728 But I am not evil! I am a force of good and justice! |
| 67729 But I am not evil! I am a force of good and justice! |
| 67730 But I am not evil! I am a force of good and justice! |
| 67731 You sound like a hypocrite to me, sentencing those you have no right to judge! |
| 67732 You won't be the first to try and kill me... and probably not the last. |
| 67733 How noble. I'll enjoy spilling your pretentious guts all over the floor. |
| 67734 Further conversation is pointless, <CHARNAME>. I have a task which I must complete. Your death is a necessity, Bhaalspawn. |
| 67735 People sing the praises of your name, <CHARNAME>. You strive to walk the path of virtue. But your intentions are meaningless compared to the consequences of your existence. |
| 67736 Your lies are not surprising. Your infamy precedes you, <CHARNAME>. All know you are a scourge upon the earth... your name is whispered with fear and dread. |
| 67737 How many bodies have you left in your wake? Hundreds? Thousands? Saradush is a smoking waste... how many other cities and towns have you brought destruction raining down upon? |
| 67738 But it wasn't my fault! I'm a victim of circumstance! |
| 67739 I can explain everything if you give me a chance. |
| 67740 And how many corpses have you left behind, Balthazar? |
| 67741 I bring destruction wherever I go, and I revel in the blood! I am death incarnate! |
| 67742 I am much the same, <CHARNAME>. Our mere presence brings death... it is inevitable. It is our destiny. We are not to blame; we are slaves to our father's tainted blood. |
| 67743 And as your power grows, <CHARNAME>, so shall the ruin sown in your passing. Kingdoms will fall, and the rivers of Faerûn will run with blood. |
| 67744 No, I do not accept this destiny you are laying on me! |
| 67745 You condemn me based on my possible future? That is not justice. |
| 67746 I like the sound of that! |
| 67747 Assault on the enclaves Balthazar revealed himself as a Bhaalspawn, and one of the Fiveâ€â€though he never shared their goal of resurrecting Bhaal. The mad monk wanted to wipe the taint of Bhaal from the world by killing all of Bhaal's children, including himself. More disturbing were the implications he leveled at the still absent Melissan. If his words are true, she has been manipulating me the entire time for her own nefarious purposes. |
| 67748 These are runes of warding. They speak of the "Imprisoned One" and are sealed with Helm's symbol. |
| 67749 I know it's hard when you learn your father was a god of pure evil. You just have to find a way to deal with it... I did. Eventually. |
| 67750 Alas, your desire to be what you are not counts for little; that door is closed to you now. You cannot escape your fate... you must learn to accept it. |
| 67751 That reminds me of my Great-Uncle Hegemony... not that he was much of an uncle, you understand. Always in dispute with the local lord over his rights to the surrounding farmlands. The duke had him thrown in prison for a year and a day before the duke's mother revealed Hegemony was actually a distant relation of the royal familyâ€â€something about a drunken tryst between the duke's grandfather's brothers and a comely gnomish lass... details are sketchy. |
| 67752 Lucky break for your uncle he was related. |
| 67753 Not really. The duke didn't want Hegemony making any claims against his throne (or whatever those fancy muck-a-mucks sit on), so he banished Hegemony's family and sent my uncle himself to the guillotine. After the execution, they returned the body to his family, but nobody could remember where they had stashed his upper portions. All worked out in the end, though... Hegemony's family couldn't afford a full-length coffin anyway. |
| 67754 I was just struck by the coincidence, is all. The royal blood running through Great-Uncle Hegemony's veins was as thin as your own Bhaalspawn essence, friend... and in the end, it kept his family from getting ahead. Huh... you look a little pale there. Why don't you just forget I ever brought it up? |
| 67755 You are truly an odd one, gnome. Whatever possessed you to share this bizarre story with me? |
| 67756 By your sniveling manners, I would say Bhaal's blood runs very thin indeed in your veins. Bahâ€â€why do I even waste my breath tormenting this cowering cur? |
| 67765 I applaud her efforts. It's the duty and privilege of us of the upper classes to aid the less fortunate by taking them under our protection. |
| 67766 I've seen her type beforeâ€â€noblewoman looking to ease her own conscience by helping the lower classes. |
| 67767 Everywhere ye go, ye find bloody do-gooders sticking thar noses in where they canna be welcome! |
| 67768 Har! A little pickle tickle with the Sister in the back of the church, eh? Ye know what they say... nun is better! HAR! HAR! HAR! |
| 67769 How amusing you surface-dwellers can be. Instead of reveling in the pleasures of the flesh, you insist on shaming yourselves into guilt over your dalliances. Foolish rivvin! |
| 67770 How horrible! You thought he loved you, and he betrayed your trust. I fear I would die from sorrow if my love treated me so callously. |
| 67771 When we offer our heart to another, we are vulnerable to such disappointments. You must not torture yourself over the past, Sister... you must accept your mistakes and move on. |
| 67772 You believed your love could save him. That is not such a foolish notion. |
| 67773 Ahhh, look here, dear ladies. Yet another hapless wanderer drifting through these endless portals. Is it lost, do you think? Shall we ask it? |
| 67774 Do not look at us so suspiciously, little mortal. You have done the tanar'ri a turn, and we will not harm you, as agreed. Not unless you wish us to, that is... *giggle* |
| 67775 So... what do you think of our little maze-prison, <PRO_MALEFEMALE> mortal? Oh, do not look upon us so suspiciously. We do not seek to hurt you... much. *giggle* |
| 67776 If you wish, my alu-sisters and I will be more than glad to lead you through this endless maze to the end, where you can find the cavern with the portal out of this place. It is your choice, dear mortal. |
| 67777 No thanks, I'm not interested in your help. |
| 67778 No thanks, I'm not interested in your help. |
| 67779 You'll lead me through here? What's the catch? |
| 67780 Forget it, demon-spawn! Time to die instead! |
| 67781 Then my sisters and I shall leave you to your misery, mortal one. Come, alu-fiends... perhaps there is a hapless baatezu about that we can torment. |
| 67782 Ah! It is time for us to make sport, my alu-sisters! Come, let us dance! |
| 67783 Nothing more than a kiss, dear one. A little piece of your life energies, nothing more than a taste, and we shall bring you on your way. *giggle* You can afford it, mortal... what do you say? |
| 67784 Fine... one kiss and you lead me out of here. |
| 67785 Kiss a succubus? Forget it! I'll find my own way. |
| 67786 Kiss a succubus? Forget it! I'll find my own way. |
| 67787 I'd say it's time to die, demon. |
| 67788 You are most adventurous, mortal... I like that in a <PRO_MALEFEMALE>. One quick embrace, then, and we shall do as we bargained. *giggle* |
| 67789 Here you are, dear one. This is the cavern you seek. Whether the portal still works... or if the cambion will even let you use it... is another matter entirely. *giggle* Enjoy! |
| 67790 Welcome, <CHARNAME>... I see you have finally found your way to the Throne of Bhaal. You should know, however, that you're far, far too late. |
| 67791 This part of the Abyss was once your father's and might have been partly yours... but it's mine now. Along with all the essence of a god, this place is mine to rule as I wish. |
| 67792 You stole something that isn't yours to begin with, Melissan! |
| 67793 You don't have all the essence of Bhaal... and you don't rule here alone. |
| 67794 You manipulated me, you deceitful harpy... and you will pay! |
| 67795 You should have remained true to Bhaal... only he could have saved you now! |
| 67796 I will stop you, Melissan. Any way I can. |
| 67797 Yeah, well, I suppose everybody has a dream. Psycho. |
| 67798 I lied to my master, Bhaal, and have scratched and clawed my way after his death to turning the essences of his children to serve me! I deserve to be a god, and you shall NOT stand in my way, I assure you! |
| 67799 True. More insightful than I would have expected from you, <CHARNAME>, but none of it will matter once you are dead and your essence is added to my power. |
| 67800 I am disappointed in you, <CHARNAME>. So much bluster, so much force. How you have managed to blunder your way through the realms and not perished sooner, I have no idea. |
| 67801 But it doesn't matter, in the long run. You've served me well enough... and now it is time for your essence to be added back to my power. |
| 67802 I should not be wasting time on you. I still have to absorb the Bhaalspawn essences... and there is more than enough power in this plane to keep you busy. |
| 67803 If you are wise, you will flee. Once I am done with the essences, I will not hesitate to gather your own as well. |
| 67804 Enough! I have gathered enough essence to deal with you... I will wait no longer to end your pathetic life. Prepare to join your siblings! |
| 67805 No! Ughâ€â€too strong! Damn you! I must take more essence... I must have more power! |
| 67806 So, you are stronger than even I imagined. So be it, <CHARNAME>. Your destiny versus mine... let's finish this now, once and for all. To the victor go the spoils! |
| 67807 You find signs of <CREATURE> in the area. |
| 67808 Irenicus reeks! |
| 67809 Kobold Amplifier |
| 67810 Enough, Amelyssan. The gods have decreed: This contest is over. |
| 67811 Noooooo! I am a GOD! This is not over until *I* say it is! |
| 67812 You are no god, priestess of Bhaal. You play with stolen energies that make you immortal, that give you great power... but that does not make you a god. |
| 67813 No... the Bhaalspawn has NOT won! I refuse to believe it! Oh, I would die first! |
| 67814 But you cannot die, so long as the essences are within you. Even now, however, they struggle to flee from your weakened frame. You are defeated, and destiny belongs to the victor. |
| 67815 No... no! I... *pant* I will kill... you... all! |
| 67816 You will do nothing, Amelyssan, but accept your fate. |
| 67817 The time that was mentioned has come, god-child. There is a choice before you... you have prevailed against all that have assailed you, and now, you must decide your fate. |
| 67818 The vast majority of the soul essences of the children of Bhaal, Lord of Murder, now belong to you and you alone. You must now decide what to do with this power... Be wiseâ€â€the choice is irrevocable. |
| 67819 Only one other spawn of the dead god remains... the sibling who fought at your side. Her portion of the essence is not large, but she must make a choice. |
| 67822 If I could have gotten rid of it voluntarily, I would have done it a long time ago. *shudder* Take it... I don't want it. I never wanted it. |
| 67823 Do you intend to keep that essence, god-child? Or will you surrender it to your elder sibling? |
| 67824 As you wish, Imoen, so it is done. The only decision that remains, then, belongs to your sibling. |
| 67825 You mean me, don't you? You're talking about the part of me that's... the taint. The powers I've developed. |
| 67826 A lamp. |
| 67828 What are my options? |
| 67829 Shove your wisdom... I fought to get here, and I earned my place. |
| 67831 Can I give up the taint easily like Imoen did? |
| 67835 Why? What's going to happen to me? |
| 67836 That you did. I did say that your destiny was there for the taking, did I not? That does not make the decision any simpler. However, I will tell you your options. |
| 67837 You may surrender that which you have always possessed. The rest still remains within Amelyssan and must be dealt with... and there will always be consequences. I shall tell you your options. |
| 67838 There are consequences with all decisions. This one, however, is unique in its scope. I will attempt to explain it as best I can. |
| 67839 First, you may choose to surrender that portion of the essence which remains with you. It shall be given to Amelyssan... and her soul, with all the essence it contains, shall be destroyed. |
| 67840 Am I able to give up the essences? Is it that easy? |
| 67841 You may think this brutal, but Amelyssan has welded the essence to her own soul, foolishly, and there is no other way. The price of ambition is always high. |
| 67842 Surrendering the essence will allow the gods to remove its evil taint and hide it well within the halls of Mount Celestial, forever preventing it from soiling further souls. |
| 67843 You, Bhaalspawn, would be made a mortal... free to continue your life with a destiny of your own choosing. The manipulations of gods will no longer be your concern, and your soul will be untainted. |
| 67844 And my other choice? |
| 67854 Once Amelyssan's soul is destroyed and the essence released, you may accept it into yourself, if you want it, and the Throne of Bhaal will be yours to command. |
| 67855 You have fought against the taint of your father with great vigilance. It is most impressive... impressive enough that I would be willing to remain by your side. |
| 67856 The power you may claim will bring new enemies and the attentions of evil gods such as Cyric, who usurped your sire's godly role by the edict of Ao the Overfather. |
| 67857 I will fight by your side and help you achieve whatever destiny awaits in the planes. Your future is unknown even to the gods, although it will certainly be a great one. |
| 67858 The taint of evil within the totality of Bhaal's essence is great... greater than anything you have ever known. It remains to be seen whether you will resist this evil or embrace it. |
| 67859 Regardless, you will receive new enemies from amongst the gods... surely Cyric, who usurped your sire's role at the edict of Ao the Overfather, would gain an interest in your powers. |
| 67860 Your future is unwritten, but once chosen, the gods know that it will be of significance to the universe. You will have few allies, and your trials will not end anytime soon. |
| 67861 No doubt you are willing to embrace the sheer evil of Bhaal's essence. Certainly you have ambition to rival Bhaal or his priestess... and you shall assuredly meet the same folly. You disgust me. |
| 67862 The power is yours to command, but it shall also bring godly enemies. Surely Cyric, the usurper of your sire's divine role by edict of Ao the Overfather, will gain an interest in your progress. |
| 67863 Your future is unwritten, but once chosen, the gods know that it will be of significance to the universe. Know as well that one does not achieve godhood by simple act of will. |
| 67864 You will have great power among the planes... but your evil taint will cause you to walk your path always alone, and good will ceaselessly counter your plans. |
| 67865 The choice is difficult, but these are your two options, Bhaalspawn. This is where your destiny is realized and your future begins. |
| 67867 <CHARNAME>, you are a vile and foul monster. All who stand for virtue raise your blades with mine in defiance of this evil tyranny! |
| 67871 This page appears to be torn from a larger work. Although incomplete, it seems to describe how to summon a golem made of clay. |
| 67872 This page appears to be torn from a larger work. Although incomplete, it seems to describe how to summon a golem made of stone. |
| 67873 This page appears to be torn from a larger work. Although incomplete, it seems to detail the summoning of the mysterious "Juggernaut Golem." |
| 67874 To become a power that would walk the planes at will... I cannot imagine facing such a choice myself, <CHARNAME>, and I do not envy you the task. |
| 67875 Were the choice my own, however... I would not leave behind my beloved Maria and both my children forever; I could not endure it. And the thought of dealing with the evil taint as you do... No, it would not be for me. |
| 67876 Hmph. I nae see the difficulty for ye, <CHARNAME>. Take yer power... ye fought for it hard an' well enough. There be no need to give it up, and no one worth givin' it up for. |
| 67877 There are a large number of frost-covered scales salvaged from an ice wyrm. Legend has it they can be magically forged into powerful armor. STATISTICS: Weight: 15 |
| 67878 And besides all o' that... if ye becomes a power, ye can reward us all the better for following ye about all these months. I've had enough of yer smell... ha! Some gold would be fineâ€â€indeed! Ha har har! |
| 67879 What? Why are you looking at me? Take the power already. Isn't that what you came here for? (I didn't follow this insufferable monkey around to see all its divinity lost! What would I get out of that?!) |
| 67880 I would caution you if I could, <CHARNAME>. Great power comes with its own temptations and its own trials... have you not been through enough? I think you would be happier in the end living your own life. |
| 67881 But I would not think to speak for you, my friend. If you succumbed to temptation and became an evil power, however, it would sadden me to think I had fought so long to support such an ending. |
| 67882 The scales salvaged from the blue dragon crackle with static energy when touched. Legend has it they can be magically forged into powerful armor. STATISTICS: Weight: 15 |
| 67883 I would offer you only one piece of advice, <CHARNAME>. Rid yourself of the sins of your father... do not live under his shadow, but make your own destiny. You can do better, I think. You do not need this power. |
| 67884 Simple enough for me to say, however. I can only imagine how attractive such an alternative might seem. In the end, the balance will win out... in the larger scheme, your choice will mean little except to yourself. |
| 67885 The time has come to make your choice, Bhaalspawn. What is your wish? |
| 67886 You believed your love could change what he was. An idealistic, foolish notion. |
| 67892 Well, you know, it's funny that this situation should come up. It's not something that I like to think about much, but I spent a whole year as a god back in '03. Oh, I know what you're thinking... why only a year? It's a touching and involved tale, but I'm happy to shed some light on it if it helps with your predicament. |
| 67893 I find it hard to believe that you were a god, Jan. |
| 67894 Not more of your lies, gnome. I've enough to concern myself with. |
| 67895 This I've got to hear. |
| 67896 Ao was pretty suspicious, too. Especially, I suppose, since I wasn't anywhere near the Golden Hills, nor had I even received so much as a by-your-leave from Garl Glittergold. Have you ever met Ao? A big, golden light, that one. Nice smell. Great cigars. Class act all the way. Far more reasonable than most people make him out to be after that whole Time of Trouble business. Who can fault a god for wanting to be alone for a while? Not me. |
| 67897 And you think being a god was so worry-free? Not five minutes after arriving in Pandesmos, I was de-pantsed by Talos and sent running for my life when Iyachtu Xvim sent three Bane Hounds chasing me through the courtyard. Quite the bully, that one. Had a wandering left eye, too, that I thought I'd brought up in a perfectly tactful manner. Can't imagine he'd treat you any better, either... you might want to remember to stare at his shoes if you ever bump into him. |
| 67899 It's nice to hear you eager for once. It's not every day that a gnome finds himself in the middle of the Abyss fighting an avatar and talking to a solar, you know. I haven't done that for at least a year now... although to be honest, the last time was only in the company of Aunt Patty, and we all know what a pushover her Larry was... and it's nice to see that my tribulations in this party are recognized. |
| 67900 Anyway, it was during the Time of Troubles that I'd run afoul of some Banite cultists who accidentally mistook me for Bane's earthly avatar. Don't ask. Maybe they didn't have a picture. I wasn't sure what to think myself and resolved to spend more attention towards my breath in the future. It wasn't long before I was worshipped by thousands on a regular basis. They made good stew, and the constant chanting wasn't unpleasant, so I decided to play along. No one grows turnips under threat of eternal torment quite as well as a Dreadmaster, and I'll stand by that statement to this day. |
| 67901 Well, it wasn't long before the whole Time of Troubles thing was over, and suddenly little old worshipped me found myself up in the heavens before the Overfather himself. Seems they were short of death gods at the time, and it didn't seem like such a bad gig, so I took him up on his offer. Plus, the dental plan was extraordinary. |
| 67902 Being a god isn't what you'd expect, though. Sune was all over me from day one... I hear she developed a thing for turnips about a decade ago. She just wouldn't leave me alone! There were parties at all hours of the night, Lliira would get plastered and fall into the lily pond, and eventually Torm would start a brawl with somebody. Did you know what it's like to have Helm pounding on your door at three in the morning? I could never get any sleep at all. If it wasn't one thing, it was getting slapped by Umberlee or hit on by Loviatar. All night long... and in the morning, all the gods would be in a foul mood. Terrible. |
| 67903 I couldn't find anything good about the experience at all. No wonder Ao kicked them all out. He probably had to catch up on his housekeeping, of all things. Well, after all of that, I was more than happy to let Cyric have the job, eager puppy that he was. Left it behind me for a turnip farm and a nice pension, and gladly... although I eventually traded the pension for some stock in a Spelljammer trading cruiser, which was a bad decision, but all us mortals aren't immune to that, of course. Lost the farm too, in a game of checkers to Uncle Fibbert. But that turned out all right, as the turnips got a bad rot that year and Uncle Fibbert died of too much intestinal gas. Poor man. |
| 67904 Anyhow, I hope all my experience has been of some help. Ummm... feel free to accept other opinions. Ummm... no need to stare, now. Move on, move on. |
| 67905 Ahhh, my friends... notice the dramatic pause in the good lady's conversation before she delivers this chilling news. What stylish flair! She has graced the stage in her past, I'll warrant. |
| 67906 Oh, <CHARNAME>... why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like what she says next? |
| 67907 A life on the planes as a new power? 'Tis not a life for everyone, my raven. No matter how powerful you assume yourself to be, there is always another stronger... and in the planes, this is doubly so. |
| 67908 But either way, your adventure continues, does it not? I envy your position, truly. Naturally, I'd like it best to join you in your future travels, but if it's not meant to be, I'll bid you fond farewell, certainly. |
| 67909 Hm. You would be powerful, <CHARNAME>, but what would you use the power for? What will it use *you* for? |
| 67910 I might accept the power of an evil god if I thought I could help people... but I won't fool myself. I would be tempted by the taint just like anyone else. But you know more about yourself than I do. |
| 67911 Finding one's place in the world is not always easy. There is balance in all things, though sometimes we ourselves may not see it. |
| 67912 No! Oh, say it is not so! We will no longer fight evil together? Oh... Boo will miss you, <CHARNAME>. Forever shall we hang our heads in sadness in remembrance of our great butt-kicking friend. |
| 67913 Boo and I will say we knew the hero <CHARNAME>. And people will of course not believe us. And maybe, they will look at us more strangely than they do now. Or maybe not. |
| 67914 I urge you not to accept the taint. There is too much folly in such power, as you yourself have taught me. Do not make the mistake... refuse it and live the life you wish. |
| 67916 Do not waver. Were I in your shoes, I would lunge at this opportunity... it is no less than what I died attempting. Take it... grab hold of what you deserve! |
| 67917 So... it's finally come down to this, has it? After all we've been through, right from Candlekeep and Baldur's Gate, through Irenicus and Bodhi and their plans... I wonder what Gorion would say now? |
| 67918 Me... I... I'll miss you, if you go. You're more than a <PRO_BROTHERSISTER> to me... I owe you everything. But who wouldn't want to see the planes? Who wouldn't want to see this through to the proper end? |
| 67920 It seems my promise to Gorion is at last at an end. It will be... difficult to watch you move on to a higher state of being, if that is where you choose to go. But you hardly need my guidance any longer. |
| 67921 I only pray you make the decision that is right for you, <CHARNAME>. Even Gorion would ask you to do no less. |
| 67922 What a terrible thing to decide! You... you've fought for so long to get to this point... but if you choose to keep all this power, there will be nothing more than more fighting... |
| 67923 I... I couldn't do it. I wouldn't want to. What a frightening thing to become. But... you've never taken the easy path, have you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 67925 How glorious to finally have the opportunity to grasp your birthright! To take up the reins of power as they are meant to be! |
| 67926 Fail to do so and the only point to your having come this far will be to have fought off all those who sought to stop you. There is only one path... take it and perhaps I will even be the first of your clerics one day! Think of it! |
| 67929 You would seek to rise up to the ranks where Helm resides? It is astounding that such a thing is even possible! Do as you feel you must, <CHARNAME>... while I would miss your presence, I... I cannot advise you. |
| 67930 You wish to face the taint of Bhaal forever? It will eat away at you... if you do not embrace it willingly. Make your own destiny would be my advice... do not rest in your sire's shadow. |
| 67931 You aren't much of a gentleman! You could have told us this without disclosing your relationship with the Sister. |
| 67932 Ewww! That's disgusting. I don't even want to imagine Bhaal mating with one of those overgrown monsters. |
| 67933 So. It seems we have finally reached the end of your quest. What comes next... could change you forever and dictate your... our future. |
| 67934 What do you think I should do? |
| 67935 I don't want to leave you behind, Jaheira. I love you. |
| 67936 I'm sorry. I feel I have no choice but to go forward, to accept my birthright. |
| 67937 What do you want, Jaheira? What future do you see for us? |
| 67938 I have pondered that question at your every move. With all that has been learned, I don't know where we would go next. I don't know where we could go. |
| 67940 I do know this: There is no place for me at your side if you accept the power. It would be... hard... to lose you, just as hard as it was to say goodbye to... to Khalid. |
| 67941 Bastards... both of you, to do this to me. I knew this would... |
| 67942 *ahem* I knew this would happen, that I would lose you. Not that I could see this coming, of course. Seems the gods themselves conspire to... to... |
| 67943 This is ridiculous. This is not about me. This is about you. I won't ask you to stay. I won't make your choice for you. You worked for this, fought through so much... |
| 67944 If it is important, then go. I will not have you stay and regret it later. I will not be the great mistake that forever follows you. I have... too many of those to wish them on another. |
| 67946 I... Strange, isn't it? After all we have faced, these few words scare me more than anything. It's just that... I don't know if we could have a normal life after all of this. |
| 67947 I... thought as much. You have a destiny greater than anything I might offer, and I do not begrudge you for it. So I... lose you forever, just as I lost my... Khalid. |
| 67948 Ohh, I knew this was coming. I knew this would happen. I suspected what your success would mean. But to have to face it now... Oh, <CHARNAME>, the very thought of being without you... of raising our child alone... |
| 67949 You think I should give up the essence? |
| 67950 I'm sorry, Aerie. I feel I have to go forward and accept my birthright. |
| 67951 I don't want to be without you either, Aerie. I love you. |
| 67952 I'm not sure what I should do. |
| 67953 Steady, Aerie. You'll be fine. |
| 67954 Yes. No. I mean... I can't tell you what to do, <CHARNAME>. I could beg you to stay with me and your child, but what kind of future would we have? You don't know, and neither do I. |
| 67955 There was a time I didn't know what love was... I thought that we needed to be apart until I realized that just because you were my first love, that didn't make it any less real. You've done so much for me, I can't even begin to explain. And now you've given me a child. |
| 67956 But if you feel that you need to accept this power... and that I have to let you go... then I suppose I can do that. It will... hurt. Just the thought of it makes me want to scream. |
| 67957 But I couldn't have you hate me for holding you back from what you deserve. If I were in your position, I don't know if I could do the same. A child, love, our future together... what are these mortal concerns next to the power and responsibilities of an immortal? |
| 67958 I know. But knowing doesn't make it any easier. It... it means the end of us, but maybe that's what has to be. Maybe there was never really a future for us... or maybe our future lies in our child's destiny and not in yours. I don't know. |
| 67959 And I love you. Oooh, sometimes I love you so much it hurts. I lie awake at night and wonder what kind of future we could have or what will happen to our child. I don't know... and neither do you. |
| 67960 I don't blame you. Us... how we feel about each other... even our child... those can't be the only considerations. I lie awake sometimes thinking what kind of future we might have. I don't know... and neither do you. |
| 67961 If I had the power of Bhaal, I could make sure you and our child were well looked after, Aerie. I could even restore your wings. |
| 67962 You... could? Yes, I suppose you could do almost anything, couldn't you? Except keep us together. |
| 67964 Your love made it possible for me to find who I am. I have strength, <CHARNAME>... enough for both myself and our baby. You taught me that. |
| 67965 I cannot tell you what your destiny is, <CHARNAME>. I can only tell you to do what you feel is right. I can accept what that means, my love... even if it means I must raise our child alone. |
| 67966 Victory comes to you at long last, my ssinssrigg. It has been an epic struggle, worthy of many tales. You must be pleased... although your choice now cannot be an easy one. |
| 67967 What do you think I should do, Viconia? |
| 67968 What do you think I should do, Viconia? |
| 67969 I don't want to leave you behind, Viconia. I love you. |
| 67970 I don't want to leave you behind, Viconia. I love you. |
| 67971 I feel as if I should see this through and accept my birthright. |
| 67972 I feel as if I should see this through and accept my birthright. |
| 67973 No, it isn't easy. |
| 67974 No, it isn't easy. |
| 67975 I should expect that you would take the power offered by your blood. To do anything else would be an expression of maudlin weakness... and I expect far more from you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 67976 I knew once that our relationship was an impossible one and have allowed myself to since be swayed otherwise. But it still holds true. Even you know this now, correct? |
| 67977 If you gave up your heritage, what would we do? Where would we go? What if it was not satisfactory for you... would you not blame me in the end for keeping you from your power? |
| 67978 I will not be responsible for that. As much as part of me might wish you to remain with me, my ssinssrigg... I will be just as pleased to know that you have achieved the power you deserved. |
| 67979 It is not easy for my kind to admit such things, so let me just say it now and be done with it. I love you, <CHARNAME>. You are a magnificent male, worthy beyond all measure. Now choose as you should. |
| 67980 Once, there would have been no question as to what I thought you should do. If power exists, it exists to be taken. To do otherwise is to show weakness and invite death. |
| 67981 But... I am not the same drow that I once was. You have planted questions in my head, made me think about my life on the surface. I have changed considerably, thanks to your interference. |
| 67982 And this is not necessarily a bad thing. I changed my mind about our relationship, after all. You have brought me much joy... a quality I did not know I was even capable of. |
| 67983 I trust that you will make the decision that is right for you. That is not my worry. I would only regret if we parted ways, and I did not... thank you sufficiently. For all you have done. |
| 67984 What I have always feared is now coming to pass. Your birthright catches up with you, my lady... and I may lose you forever as a result. Do you... know what you will do? |
| 67985 I don't want to lose you, Anomen. I love you. |
| 67986 I don't want to lose you, Anomen. I love you. |
| 67987 I'm sorry. I feel I should see this through, that I should accept my birthright. |
| 67988 I'm sorry. I feel I should see this through, that I should accept my birthright. |
| 67989 No. I don't know what I will do yet. |
| 67990 No. I don't know what I will do yet. |
| 67991 Oh my, my, my... I had the strangest dream last night, Minscy. I dreamt a wizard snuck into our camp while we slept and cast a spell that made you and I switch identities. |
| 67994 *gasp* Such a thing would be a nightmare indeedâ€â€why, Minsc could not even fit into your tiny clothes! I have no wish to walk naked through these strange lands... |
| 67995 I cannot lie, my love. I desperately wish that you would refuse the power of your sire's blood. To carve a new destiny free of his shroud would be a glorious thing indeed! |
| 67996 But I won't fool myself into thinking that I am the only reason you would give up such a future. You have been there for me on many occasions, helping me deal with my father and gain entrance into the Order... |
| 67997 I doubt I was very easy to put up with, and yet you did not abandon me. I cannot ask you to give up anything for me... I barely feel worthy of you, my love. You are magnificent beyond measure. |
| 67998 If you... if you do decide to stay a mortal, all I can do is pledge my undying love. All you wish shall be yours... but most importantly, we will be together. |
| 67999 And should you decide to leave, then I will let you go. It may be painful, but I will be overjoyed to know my love has achieved such greatness... and I will remember you always. |
| 68000 Just our minds were switched, Minscy. You were me, and I was you. Oh my... what if it wasn't a dream? What if it was real? What if you're really me, and I'm really you? Suddenly, I feel sort of funny... HAMSTERS AND RANGERS AND HEROES TOGETHER! |
| 68001 I adore you with all my heart, <CHARNAME>. But I would be remiss not to encourage you to take up this challenge... who could refuse such an offer? |
| 68002 There is nothing that I could give you that would match such an experience, my love. I am a poor substitute for adventure... there has been more than once that I've wondered how you put up with me. |
| 68003 What is this? The puny gnome speaks with the wrath and rage of a Rashemaar warrior! Boo, I am confused... |
| 68004 I AM FED UP WITH YOUR WILY TRICKS, YOU uh... uh... PIPSQUEAK! GIVE ME BACK MY HAMSTER, OR uh... uh... OR FEEL THE WRATH OF MY uh... uh... THE WRATH OF MY MIGHTY uh... BOOT! (Yes, that will do.) |
| 68005 Can this be true? Am I but the sneaky little Jan inside Minsc's great, big body? ...No! This is not right! Minsc is not Jan... Minsc is Minsc! Minsc is Minsc, Boo is Boo, and you are a naughty, naughty gnome! |
| 68006 If you decide to stay a mortal, then I will endeavor to provide you with everything you desire, with everything that I am capable of with whatever time we have together. |
| 68007 So the time of your victory has finally arrived... and now you must decide whether to leave this world and your mortality behind forever. Not a simple decision, <CHARNAME>. Or is it? |
| 68008 What do you think I should do, Valygar? |
| 68009 I don't want to leave you behind, Valygar. I love you. |
| 68010 I'm sorry. I feel I have to see this through. I have to accept my birthright. |
| 68011 No, it isn't that simple at all. |
| 68012 I'm not very qualified to advise you, <CHARNAME>. I've never been very comfortable with power. The thought of attracting the attention of other gods, some who might be jealous, would not sit very well with me. |
| 68013 But I know that you'll make the best decision. You always have in the past, and I trust that you always will in the future. You laugh at me for such confidence, but I believe it. You are unique beyond anyone I have ever encountered. |
| 68014 If you stay with me, I can only offer the solace of my company. I would love to continue our journeys together... there is much that we could still do, many places we could go. |
| 68015 But if you leave, that doesn't mean I will love you any less, <CHARNAME>. I will remember you, and hope that the power you gain will make you happy. |
| 68016 If you've taught me anything, it's that power isn't something to always fear. I only hope that the life you choose isn't one you regret. As for me... our time together has been worth everything. |
| 68017 I love you as well. I wouldn't blame you for not wanting the power and the taint of your sire... but I would ask you to reconsider if you were to refuse it simply to remain with me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 68018 Truly? I could not see myself deciding the same. To attract the attention of the gods with such power would not sit well with me, although the idea of exploring the planes is attractive, I'll admit. |
| 68019 You seem to be limping, Jan. Have you been hurt recently? |
| 68020 Okay, Minscy, settle down. You win. Just a little existential prank is allâ€â€no hard feelings I hope. (Hmmm... I really thought that would work...) |
| 68021 Your trick may have worked, tiny one, had Boo not saved me from my confusion. Boo thinks, therefore I am. Remember that before you tempt my wrath by trying to steal my hamster again! |
| 68022 No, lass, I'm not hurt, and the limp is not new. I've had it as long as you've known me. 'Tis a wooden leg, you see. I was smuggling crackers into Waterdeep several years back (the council had outlawed them due to near constant cracker-related debauchery, you see... I couldn't let THAT pass...). |
| 68023 The council had sealed off all ports and mobilized the army to stop illegal cracker entry. The city was shut down, martial law was declared, and people huddled in their homes for fear and want of crackers. I could not stand idly by while such persecution was visited on the somewhat innocent peoples of Waterdeep. So I smuggled crackers. Salted, unsalted, and herb-riddled alike, it mattered not. All came in, and all were consumed in secret orgies of cracker-related tomfoolery. |
| 68024 Cernd, I would like to ask you a question if I may. You strike me as a good man. Yet you refuse to follow the rules of Law... I find this paradox quite vexing. |
| 68025 Beauty and nature are not bound by rigid laws, my stalwart friend. You see chaos and confusion as your enemy, but they are part of the natural order. You must learn to embrace them as you have embraced law. |
| 68026 Then came the unpleasant business with the hanging. I hadn't seen Picklefeather's eyes bulge like that since that wyvern kicked him in the ba... (oops! Innocent elvish lass, have to watch the tongue) uh... in the arm (yes, that will do). The moral of the story is, you reap what you steal. I still own a warehouse full of saltines. I send a box to all of my friends each year. Seem to have fewer friends each year as a result, but that's to be expected. |
| 68027 You will not convert me to your wild woodland ways, Cernd. Though often difficult, the path of law and order is the path of true virtue. |
| 68028 By refusing to acknowledge the necessity of a balance between law and chaos, you only make your life more difficult, Keldorn. What a ridiculous, impractical belief system you cling to! |
| 68029 Are you mocking my values? You dare scorn everything I hold dear and everything I stand for? Do not be such an ass, Cernd. |
| 68030 What does that have to do with your wooden leg? |
| 68031 What wooden leg? I have no wooden leg. |
| 68032 Grrr! You're IMPOSSIBLE! |
| 68033 Err... are paladins even allowed to say "ass"? |
| 68034 My code of honor dictates my actions, Cernd. It does not dictate my speech. But I will waste no more words on youâ€â€not even the word "ass." |
| 68035 Forgive me, Keldorn. I only asked because as a druid, I am restricted in certain uses of the word "tomato"... I thought perhaps you were under a similar sort of prohibition. |
| 68036 Why, yes, I suppose I am at that. *grin* |
| 68037 Tiefling |
| 68038 Tiefling |
| 68039 Achâ€â€you there. Pretty boy. Aye, I mean ye, Anomen. Ye look a mite down today. |
| 68040 Down? I believe you are mistaken, dwarf. I am in fine spirits! |
| 68041 Truly? I find that a mite surprisin'. With yer sister rotting in her grave and yer life's ambition to join the Order of the bleedin' Heart forever lost, I figured ye might just be somewhat surly. |
| 68042 I choose not to dwell on the past, Korgan. I am trying to put those events behind me... though your bringing them up again does little to help the situation. |
| 68043 Achâ€â€that's what I'm here fer! To open old wounds and pour in a big bag o' salt! |
| 68044 I suggest you choose another target to torment, dwarf. Or maybe after the next battle, I shall treat your physical wounds with the same callous disregard you have shown my emotional scars. |
| 68045 'Twas merely a jest, my surly cleric. Since ye cannae take a joke, I'll leave ye be. |
| 68046 Forgive my intrusion, but you have seemed troubled lately. Are you finding the responsibilities of your divine heritage somewhat overwhelming? |
| 68047 This isn't something I really wish to discuss with you. |
| 68048 I don't dwell on it. Whatever happens, happens. |
| 68049 I fear I might not be ready for this kind of overwhelming powerâ€â€and the responsibility that comes with it. |
| 68050 I'm just wondering how much longer until I can become as powerful as Bhaal once was. |
| 68051 Perhaps you should give more careful consideration to the implications of your destiny. If you do not properly prepare for your destiny, it may destroy you. |
| 68052 Your very uncertainty shows you have given this matter much thought. That in itself is a step in the right direction. |
| 68053 I will stand by you, <CHARNAME>, whatever may come. And I will strive to help you walk the path of righteousness. |
| 68054 No need to disparage me with rude remarks, <CHARNAME>! If you did not wish to discuss this, you need merely have said so... politely. |
| 68055 I will leave you alone with your thoughts, and pray to Arvoreen that they are noble ones. |
| 68056 My destiny is inevitable. It is up to others to decide if they will aid me in achieving it or stand in my way. |
| 68057 Oh good! Advice on my divine heritage from a frizzy-haired semi-paladin. |
| 68058 I am grateful for your support, Mazzy. |
| 68059 I wonder how much pompous, pious drivel would spew from your mouth if you were an actual knight? |
| 68060 Korgaaan... Korgan, Korgan! Boo tells me that you have been staring at him. I fear your gaze is making him quite angry... you see how his tiny body trembles with the fury? |
| 68061 Ach, the little bugger's probably just cold. I'll fire up a pot o' boilin' water to warm his wee bones, and ye just toss him right in. An' then it's hamster stew for everyone! |
| 68062 Minsc knows you are just joking. If Boo was in your belly, he might forget the "miniature" part of his giant space hamster size. Ho ho! That would be a messy end to your jests! |
| 68063 I will retain the essence of Bhaal that is my right and become a power of the planes. |
| 68064 I will retain the essence of Bhaal that is my right and become a power of the planes. |
| 68065 I will retain the essence of Bhaal that is my right and become a power of the planes. |
| 68066 I do not want the essence of Bhaal. Do what you will with it... I want to remain mortal. |
| 68067 Keldorn, yet again Boo and I are in awe with how deeply you plant the bootprint of justice on the villainous buttocks we encounter so often! Heh! |
| 68068 As you wish, though it brings me no pleasure to unleash such an evil onto the cosmos. You are wicked, Bhaalspawn, and your time as a power will be a difficult one, I swear. |
| 68069 As you wish... though the thought of you succumbing to the temptations of Bhaal's foul taint brings me no pleasure. We shall see what manner of power you become... in time. |
| 68070 As you wish. You have proven to us all that the power in your blood is yours to command... it does not command you. I shall be proud to stand by you in a place of power among the heavens. |
| 68071 Then you shall begin life anew: mortal, without the taint of your sire upon your soul... and the essence of Bhaal shall forever be hidden. You have done well, and freedom shall be your reward. |
| 68072 And as always, Minsc, you have fought with the righteous strength of many knights! |
| 68073 And hamsters! Let us not forget Boo and his furry fury. |
| 68074 Then this is goodbye, <CHARNAME>. I wish you well, my love. With luck, we will meet again. |
| 68075 You... will stay a mortal, after all of this? Then I cannot wait for our journey to begin, my love. Our new future awaits. |
| 68076 Boo? Boo? Where are you? |
| 68077 Aye, then. *sigh* Farewell, my love. Please, keep my ring at your heart, that you will ever remember the love that you once shared with a mere mortal. I... I shall remember you fondly. |
| 68078 You will remain, my love? Oh! Nothing, *nothing* could make me happier! You will be free of your dark taint, and both of us will be free to live our future together! Oh, joyous day! |
| 68079 Yes... go on to your greater destiny, my ssinssrigg. Be a terror of a power. Be remembered by us all! |
| 68080 I think it is a mistake, my foolish ssinssrigg, to give up such power! But... I look forward to a life with you. Perhaps we will be a good thing, you and I... yes? |
| 68081 Goodbye, my love... I wish you well. I will tell our child about you and... how you had... to go. And why. I understand, <CHARNAME>. I truly do. |
| 68082 *gasp* You... you stayed, <CHARNAME>! Oh, my love! I'm so happy! We will have a life together... a good life! You, me, and the baby... You won't regret this, you won't, I swear! |
| 68083 So this is it. I... wish you well. Maybe... maybe someday... oh, well... I doubt this is the last we've heard of you... |
| 68084 What's the matter, Minscy? Did you lose *snicker*... lose *giggle*... lose something? |
| 68085 You! The tiny, tricky gnome! Minsc knows it was you who stole Boo! You cannot fool Minsc! What is that bulge moving about within your trousers? |
| 68086 Wh... what? |
| 68088 Good luck, <CHARNAME>. I'll miss ya... although somehow I just know we'll see each other again. Maybe I'll getcha out of trouble again... ya never know! |
| 68089 I hear Boo's frenzied squeaking! Ho-ho! He is growing angry, little man. Release Boo from your drawers lest his sharp teeth nibble on your naughty bits in his outrage! |
| 68090 This bulge here? Why, that's (ha ha) that's nothing. I'm just happy to see you, Minscy. *giggle* Oh, those tiny feet tickle so. |
| 68091 So you're going to stay a mortal? Wow, after all that, we're going to end up on the road again! Must feel good, though, to have your own future ahead of you again, though. No? |
| 68092 It'll be the first time we'll be able to pick our path since we left Candlekeep! I can't wait! |
| 68093 Yes! You have achieved what I could not in life! With luck, you will tear a streak of blood across the skies that the gods will not soon forget! How I wish I could join you! |
| 68094 Pfft. You turn down the very power I died seeking. And now what? Prance amongst the flowers, happy to be mortal? Bah... you'll pardon me if we part ways as soon as this is done. |
| 68095 I fear that the fate of our father will be yours now as well... but I am still grateful for all you have done for me. I wish you well. |
| 68096 So, the fate of our sire has finally come to its conclusion... and the tale has ended perhaps as it should. I look forward to future travels... with you, if you allow. |
| 68097 Your decision has been made, god-child. Now the act must be carried out... prepare yourself! |
| 68098 Use the wand of missiles. |
| 68099 Cornugon |
| 68100 Cornugon |
| 68101 Boo would never do such a thing... uh, at least I hope he wouldn't. Actually, now that I think about it, that's a chance I'm not willing to take. Here you go, Minscyâ€â€Boo's yours again, safe and sound. |
| 68102 Ah, Minsc and Boo together again! Jan, you are not worthy of having a miniaturized giant space hamster scampering loose in your pants. |
| 68103 Ah, I suppose there are precious few of us indeed who are truly worthy of that particular honor. |
| 68104 Abishai |
| 68105 Abishai |
| 68106 Balthazar |
| 68107 Balthazar |
| 68108 Cernd? Don't you miss your old grove? You don't speak of it at all. |
| 68109 What? Why would you be prevented from speaking of some vegetable? |
| 68110 Well, you see, there you've gone and hit on the crux of it. A tomato is a fruit, after all. |
| 68111 That's ridiculous. |
| 68112 Perhaps. But one must be sensitive to even those of the vegetative or fruity persuasion amongst us, my dear paladin. |
| 68113 Enough. I said I would speak no more to you, druid, and now I am doubly determined to. |
| 68114 As you wish. I had no idea fruits would be such an issue for you. |
| 68115 Oh, I miss my old grove, Aerie. I once had an odd and strangely colored rash caused by an abishai bush that I had an unfortunate encounter with... and I miss that just as much. |
| 68116 You are prevented from entering this doorway by some strange force. |
| 68117 You can't have liked your old grove very much, then. I can't imagine anyone missing a rash at all. |
| 68118 On the contrary, my dear, it was a rather extraordinary rash. |
| 68119 *sigh* I was just wondering if you missed your old grove, Cernd. Must all your answers be so cryptic? I'm almost too tired to wonder what you mean sometimes. |
| 68120 It wasn't my purpose to be cryptic, my dear. My time with my grove in Cormyr was both fascinating and a little uncomfortable. I enjoyed the company of my peers, but I never quite fit in, you see. |
| 68121 Like dark clouds before a storm... the chains of duty weigh heavy some days. |
| 68122 The Great Druid there did not have much of a liking for me, you see. So while I learned much and appreciate the time I spent at the grove, in the end I am glad that I have not returned to it. |
| 68123 Like your rash. Interesting, but you're glad it's gone? |
| 68124 Exactly. See, that wasn't so difficult now, was it? |
| 68125 Succubus |
| 68126 Succubus |
| 68127 Ach, I be wonderin' if I might talk to ye, Valygar. Just to pass the time, ye know. |
| 68128 Minsc, why don't you tell me a little about Rashemen? You've talked about it before, but never described it... and I've never heard anyone else mention it at all. |
| 68129 Duty, druid? Ha! What would a tree-hugger like you know of the chains of duty? Mucking about in the woods like an animal is not duty, but foolishness. |
| 68130 I doubt we have much in common to talk about, dwarf. |
| 68131 All of the colored globes in the four containers disappear, and a key appears on the floor. You pick up the key and place it in your pack. |
| 68132 Ye might be surprised, ranger. I understand ye killed yer familyâ€â€we have that much in common. Aye, that we do. |
| 68133 The earth cradles you in her arms as she does all her children. Your lack of knowledge does nothing to change this basic fact. The heartless and the stupid continue to destroy the Mother for their own shortsighted ends. In my humble way, I protect her. This is not duty? |
| 68134 You... were also forced by circumstance to spill the blood of your kin? |
| 68135 'Twas inevitable. When me father died, there was barely enough inheritance to go around fer me and my three brothers. I had to protect my future, ye understand. |
| 68136 This is because Rashemen is a very far ways away. Once, Boo kept track for me of the number of steps I have taken since beginning my dajemma, but *sigh* Boo has since forgotten. |
| 68137 We have nothing in common, you vile murderer! When I spilled the blood of my mother, it was to cleanse the world of her evil necromancy, not for selfish personal gain! |
| 68138 Boo claims that the number is very large. Larger, maybe, than the number of butts that Minsc has deservedly kicked along the way. I find this hard to believe, even though Boo is usually very reliable in these matters. |
| 68139 Dead is dead, and killing is killing, my lanky friend. Ye can sugarcoat it all ye want, but when we go to our family reunions, we both stand alone, aye? |
| 68140 Yes... so Rashemen is very far away. But what sort of place is it? Did you like it? |
| 68141 I did what I had to do, Korgan. No more, no less. But you... you are an animal! You kill for pleasure. It is a sickness on your soul, and I want no part of it. Speak to me no more. |
| 68142 Nay, it is not. To serve Helm with honor and fortitude, this is duty! Do not taint the word with your halfwit musings. You serve flowers and rodents, not truth and honor. |
| 68143 It is a wonderful place with many fields. It could only be better, maybe, if every ranger of the Berserker Lodge had his very own hamster. Just think of the implications! |
| 68144 But what of the witches? You said Dynaheir was a witch, right? |
| 68145 Yes, Dynaheir was a good Rashemaar witch. But I am not so certain that the witches have need of their own hamsters. Dynaheir never approved of Boo... she used to glare at Boo so, it frightened him sometimes. |
| 68146 Hmphâ€â€fine, ye prissy. I'll leave ye alone. But when the fighting starts, ye'll be glad Korgan and his "sickness" are by yer side splittin' the skulls of yer enemies! |
| 68147 *giggle* Oh, never mind, you big galoot. |
| 68148 Rodent?! What do you imply about my hamster? |
| 68149 You cannot see the forest for the trees, Anomen. There would be no Helm to serve without a world in which you can live. Ah, but I see from your face that this goes nowhere. Think what you will; I will say no more. |
| 68150 Huh... I... I come to see why you are so arrogant, Edwin. Magical power can become... intoxicating. Even I can admit to feeling its rush when I am casting spells in combat. |
| 68151 Mercenary |
| 68152 Saemon Havarian |
| 68153 Hmph! You know nothing of power, child. You possess the merest morsel of worth when compared to me. |
| 68154 Do you think so? Isn't that a foolish attitude? Even you must agree that the strength of your friends can only be a benefit. |
| 68155 Hm. You look as if you have something to say to me, Jan. *sigh* You might as well say it... the sooner we get this over with, the better. |
| 68156 I agree to nothing. |
| 68157 Your dismissals make no sense! Have I not become a peer? Have I not proven my worth? |
| 68158 Child, your insights into my character are misguided. My "arrogance" comes not from my skill, but from the knowledge that I am simply better than you. |
| 68159 As you wish. I had no idea fruits would be such an issue for you. Perhaps this would be a discussion better suited for Valygar. |
| 68160 I was just thinking how much you remind me of my cousin Gabber. Ironic name his parents gave him, since he never said a word till the day he died. Caught a case of the Tethyrian tongue gout from eating an unwashed turnip when he was but a babe. Poor little Gabber's tongue shriveled up like an honest Amnian merchant's purse. Turned him into the strong, silent type... kind of like you, Valygar. |
| 68161 Back off, druid. I'm not in the mood for your insinuations today. |
| 68162 My, my. Everyone is very sensitive today. |
| 68163 Sir Keldorn, as an initiate of the Order, I heard many a story of your prowess and courage. At one point, Sir Cassius made reference to your heroism on the Giant's Plain. He stopped abruptly and, with a dark look, would say no more. What happened there? |
| 68164 Aerie! Boo has been mulling over a question for you. Never have I seen a hamster concentrate so! He has been so very quiet I thought perhaps I rolled over on him last night, which caused me great concern. |
| 68165 You are just... oh! |
| 68166 Yes, and I always will be. Now, if you require the occasional pat on the head, I shall oblige, but you would do better to seek kinship with someone else. |
| 68167 If "Boo" wishes to ask me a question, Minsc, then he should feel free to do so. |
| 68168 But Boo's question is of such a personal nature... well, the thought of it makes me blush right down to my buttocks. |
| 68169 I... see. Perhaps Boo should ask me anyway to get it off his chest. We... wouldn't want a hamster to bottle up all that anxiety, now, would we? |
| 68170 You are very insightful! Such bottling could lead to all sorts of un-hamster-like explosions! Well... Boo wonders why you do not perform all your duties, since you are our witch? |
| 68171 Well... a Rashemani witch accompanies a ranger on his dajemma and teaches him the lore of herbs, among other things. Well... Minsc and Boo have discovered a need of some of this lore, maybe. |
| 68172 Heroism, he said? Cassius gives me more credit than I deserve. The days on the Giant's Plain were dark days and the deeds performed, darker still. |
| 68173 My duties? I thought you were supposed to protect me... I didn't know there were any duties involved. And what's so personal about this? |
| 68174 We were captured by Grinning Rath in an ambush after being betrayed by Sir Taerga. Rath and his band caught us in a strand of deadfall as we picked our way through, leading our horses. The archers made short work of our horses and nearly half my men. Stumbling about in the deadfall in full plate, we had no chance. |
| 68175 After frolicking in a bush that we now consider to be of suspicious nature, both Boo and I have contracted the Calishite itch in rather... private places. A salve would be most joyously anticipated! |
| 68176 Hive Mother |
| 68177 I... I... ah, I'll do what I can, Minsc. |
| 68178 Zakee Rafeha |
| 68180 Many thanks, Aerie! Soon, maybe, Boo can return his little mind to thoughts of butt-kicking instead of butt-itching, and I for one shall be very relieved! |
| 68181 Hive Mother |
| 68182 There is nothing wrong with my tongue, gnome. I just choose not to tire it out with a constant stream of pointless stories. |
| 68183 Rath stripped us naked, dead or living. I had an arrow through my shoulder. His ogres were kind enough to tear it out along with a great chunk of flesh before the Dance. It pains me still. |
| 68184 My stories aren't pointless! Now where was I? Oh, that's right. Gabber. His tongue was nothing but a long, skinny piece of flesh by the time the disease was done with it. But Gabber was determined to learn to talk. He did tongue exercises and tongue stretches everyday, and his tongue kept getting longer and more nimble the more he worked with it. They say he was able to pick locks with his unusual appendage, though I never had the privilege of witnessing that feat myself. By the time he was a young man, he could flick that thing out a full two feet in front of his face and make the tip twirl like a Calim veil dancer. |
| 68185 The Dance? |
| 68186 The Dance was Grinning Rath's signature. Each living knight was bound to a dead companion, head to head, hand to hand and foot to foot. He dragged us to the open plain and tied us thus so that we could not move save dancing with the dead. We lay there 'neath the blazing sun and, as our friends began to rot, my men began to die of exposure. |
| 68188 Too bad he came to such a tragic ending. Gabber wasn't much of a looker, you know, and he couldn't say a word with that freakishly long tongue of his. But for some inexplicable reason, the ladies loved him. In the end, that was what did him in. Nomis Stormfingers, an extremely large and jealous village smith, found my unfortunate cousin in a compromising position with Mrs. Stormfingers. Nomis reached inside Gabber's mouth, yanked that long lingua out, looped it around his throat, and strangled him with it. Lynched him with his own tongue, if you can believe it. |
| 68189 Nalia, I've noticed that you've been very quiet as of late. Grim, even. Is something wrong? |
| 68190 Just because I don't feel the need to express every thought that crosses my mind, this is supposed to mean something is wrong? |
| 68191 Well, no... it's just that you used to be friendlier. |
| 68192 I've got a lot on my mind, Aerie. I'm not the same girl desperate to save her castle. I'm an archmage now... I could have handled those trolls myself now if I needed to. |
| 68193 That doesn't mean you have to change, Nalia. You're still the same person inside, aren't you? |
| 68194 When you have the power to disintegrate someone with little thought, it means you have to be more careful, Aerie. You should know this just as well as I. |
| 68195 There's no need to talk down to me like that. I know what you mean... you just used to care more. |
| 68196 I do care. Whining about how things should be better will not improve things. Attaining the power to make real change might, however. But enough... we've things to do. |
| 68197 I have no idea what you expect me to say after such a ridiculous story. |
| 68198 Haer'Dalis... you've been staring at our leader with that look off and on for several hours now. Don't you think that's a little rude? |
| 68199 Of course not! That's why you remind me so much of Gabberâ€â€you're both tongue-tied. |
| 68200 *groan* Excuse me, Jan I have to... uh, I need to... I just have to go far away from you now. |
| 68201 I find myself unable to tear my eyes away. In the Doomguard, we appreciate the forces of entropy that bring destruction in their wake... and with each passing day, I see a personification of that force taking shape before me! |
| 68202 I know what you mean. It's a little unnerving, isn't it? I wonder how <CHARNAME> can stand it? |
| 68203 Oh, no, no. That's not what I mean at all, my mourning dove. I think it is the most magnificent transformation I have ever witnessed! |
| 68204 You do? |
| 68205 Aye. The image of the Slayer still rings in my mind... and the thought of what <CHARNAME> could become next thrills the very essence of my being! Can you not picture it? |
| 68206 Sometimes I think you are a very strange man, my bard. |
| 68207 Oh, without question, my dove. Without question. |
| 68208 Captain Erelon |
| 68209 So... tell me a little about Sigil, my bard. Do you think we might travel there someday? |
| 68210 If we ever gaze upon the marvels of the City of Doors, my dove, it will be because we are meant to. One often arrives in Sigil without meaning toâ€â€or never finds it, even after an exhaustive search. |
| 68211 Oh, I'm sure I could use my magic to open up a gateway, if we really needed to go. It wouldn't be such a complicated thing. |
| 68212 Were I you, I would not speak so lightly about gateways, dear Aerie. It is your innocence that speaks, I know, but one must always be cautious when approaching the planes, as it were. |
| 68213 Astral Deva |
| 68214 Astral Deva |
| 68215 I am no novice with the magical arts, Haer'Dalis, and I would appreciate you not speaking to me as if I were. The planes are not so terrible and dangerous to those of our power. |
| 68216 Eh... so, Cernd, as a champion of the natural elements of this world, you must also have knowledge of what is... unnatural? |
| 68217 No matter how powerful you are, my dove, there is always one more powerful yet. And this is doubly true of the planes. |
| 68218 Fine, fine. Forget I said anything. |
| 68219 To some extent, I must. To know the enemy is to better know how to defeat them. |
| 68220 I managed to grind through the bonds on one wrist using stone that stuck from the ground. I saved those that could be saved, Cassius included. Some of the men had died during the Dance; some had lost their wits as the flesh of their friends melted in the sun. |
| 68221 Of course, of course. A man of your standing has seen much in his career: confronted many a beast, foiled many a plot... encountered many a tome. |
| 68222 Why, Edwin? Not content with the modern discord you sow? Do you seek tutelage from the evils of old? |
| 68223 My thoughts are indeed dark ones, Anomen. And they are also mine alone. |
| 68224 Monadic Deva |
| 68225 Monadic Deva |
| 68226 My interest is purely sociable, certainly. Just banter betwixt friends. Casual interest. |
| 68227 Ah, no. Enough, Edwin. You hide your intent no better than your basic nature. I have no secrets for you, or anyone like you. |
| 68228 Aim. |
| 68229 Fire! |
| 68230 The monster comesâ€â€prepare your weapons. |
| 68231 I tracked Rath, snuck into his camp, and killed him and all who participated in the atrocity. |
| 68232 There was no heroism, Anomen, only slow brutal death and grim deeds. We shall speak no more of this. |
| 68233 Eh... |
| 68234 Have you kept records? |
| 68235 (Monkeys... unworthy little monkeys, all of them.) |
| 68236 Anomen, my friend, I realize that I've been less than polite with you in the past, and I wish to apologize. |
| 68237 You know, Aerie... I should confess something to you. You didn't turn out at all like I expected you might. |
| 68238 Verily, you have played me most false. |
| 68239 Valygar, your step seems of particular weight this day. Perhaps it is your thoughts which burden you so? |
| 68240 *giggle* Oh, if I didn't know you better, Valygar, I think I'd have to take that the wrong way! Ha ha ha ha! |
| 68241 Indeed! All know that you're an unrepentant ass. 'Tis not my place to bring it up. |
| 68242 I suppose it didn't come out quite like I meant it, did it? I'm sorry, Aerie... I only meant that all my warnings of your impending corruption by magic have been proven false. Fortunately. |
| 68243 Your ugliness, both in body and soul, although true, is inappropriate for discussion and rankly impolite. You're stupid, poorly educated, and always smell faintly of lilacs, but it was wrong of me to bring attention to it. |
| 68244 Oh, I don't know, Valygar. This doesn't mean that I'll never be corrupted by my magic... just not yet. |
| 68245 You shouldn't joke about such things, Aerie. Your heart is purer than I gave it credit for, and that gladdens me. But I've seen good, honest people turned to greed and hate by magic... it's a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone. |
| 68246 I... didn't mean to joke about that. I know about your past... and I don't think I could ever be like that. Magic is a power I can use to help people, and that's all. |
| 68247 That's good to hear. Let's hope it remains that way. |
| 68248 Arrogant, drunken, piggish, whiny, pompous are common adjectives used to describe you, but I was wrong to say so. You are completely incapable of independent thought and soil yourself with regularity seldom found outside of the nursery. I shall no longer bring these things up in front of others. |
| 68249 Mazzy? Do you think you'll ever be a true paladin for Arvoreen? |
| 68250 Shut up, gnome. |
| 68251 I am a Truesword for my god, Aerie. That is as close as I can expect to come. To hope for otherwise would be foolish and naive of me. |
| 68252 Silence before I CRACK YOUR SKULL! |
| 68253 Yes, but I was told that there was a time that halflings were rogues only... that you would never find one that was a cleric or even a warrior such as yourself anywhere. |
| 68254 That's true, if unfortunate. But that was a long time ago, Aerie... things have changed since then. |
| 68255 Well, I'm glad that, despite your idiocy, you managed to grasp the concept of my apology and mumble some poorly worded forgiveness. Cheers! |
| 68256 But maybe things could change again? Maybe your people could become paladins and rangers and even mages one day, without limitation. Wouldn't that be exciting? |
| 68257 Know that I watch you with unwavering eyes, Edwin. I have seen your looks askance, and I will have none of your treachery! |
| 68258 Yes, yes, and maybe my people will become skinny, wear shoes, and have big, long skulls. Really, Aerie, you needn't keep your head in the clouds ALL the time. |
| 68259 I care nothing for what you will have, fool, no matter how you gild your words. Be thankful for my scrutiny. Very few rivals outside the Red Wizards are worthy of it. |
| 68260 Well, it was just a thought. |
| 68261 And it wasn't a bad one. But it's not likely that the gods are going to revamp the halflings and come out with a "third edition," as it were, now, is it? |
| 68262 It might benefit your heart and soul to speak of your troubles, my friend. |
| 68263 Anomen, I've been having such a lovely time and have thought to share some reflections with you. |
| 68264 Oh, you never know. The gods do strange things sometimes. |
| 68266 Say no more, gnome. Your jibes are meaningless to me. I am a knight and, as such, above your pettiness. |
| 68267 How so, sir knight? Words cannot undo the past, and they cannot change the future. I prefer to let my actions speak for me. |
| 68268 'Tis exactly that subject I wish to discuss. Now, it's common knowledge that knights are cleric initiates who are too stupid and ugly to be presentable in church. |
| 68269 I merely sought to offer my wisdom and guidance, Valygar. As a member of the Order of the Radiant Heart, I am duty-bound to try and ease the misery of all those who suffer. |
| 68270 So, being a failed cleric... |
| 68271 You are but the buzzing of a fly and affect me not at all. |
| 68272 I have failed at nothing! I was chosen to squire for my courage and nobility. |
| 68273 Of course you didn't "fail"! They have to tell the failures something to keep up blind obedienceâ€â€that is to say, morale. |
| 68274 A noble cause, but I suggest you perform your duties elsewhere. I have learned to handle my suffering well enough on my own. |
| 68275 As you wish, Valygar. I shall bother you no moreâ€â€though I shall say a prayer to Helm that he may help you with your burden. |
| 68276 Just leave me be you icky little man! |
| 68277 "Icky"? (Ha ha!) Did you think of that on your own? (Ha ha ha ha!) |
| 68278 A question of you, Aerie. I have heard something of your people, the avariel... hunted to near extinction by mages merely for the use of their wings. How is it that you are not more outraged about this? |
| 68279 So, Keldorn, while we're on the subject of adult diapers, ah, you're getting on in years, aren't you? |
| 68280 I think it is a terrible thing, Anomen, but w-whaâ€â€what can I do about it? |
| 68281 You could defend them. Make it your life's work to oppose the predation upon them. Something, at least, would be better than nothing. |
| 68282 What in the blazes are you about, Jan? We were on no such topic! |
| 68283 My people are disappearing because they are isolationists as well, Anomen, not just because they are hunted. And they are certainly not helpless... my aid would be meaningless. |
| 68284 Well, it's just that as Uncle Stinky was nearing your age, he was prone to a terrible diaper rash. I thought you too might be suffering in noble knightish silence. No man should face diaper rash alone. |
| 68285 And I doubt they would even accept my help. They... would not think of me as an avariel anymore, because I have no wings. It is... it is probably just best for me to avoid them altogether. |
| 68286 "Uncle Stinky"? *sigh* He was called this because of the diapers, I suppose? |
| 68287 I am sorry, Aerie... it was not my intention to open old wounds. I am too clumsy with my words at times. |
| 68288 I am nothing like you and your ilk! Now cease your prattle and walk on! |
| 68289 No, 'twas the fish heads that earned him that moniker. Real name is Rooctal or Slooble or something. I can't recall. Why, as Pappy used to say, "If you can't join 'em, take your boot andâ€â€" |
| 68290 Yes, nothing like us at all. And certainly not growing more so every day. Hmmm... |
| 68291 (Gods!) <CHARNAME>, do I strike you as a stupid man? |
| 68292 Why do you ask? |
| 68293 Well, you did walk into that one. You should have ignored him. |
| 68294 No... no, it's all right, Anomen. I probably should face up to the fact that I will have to return to Faenya-Dail one day. To face them, if nothing else. But certainly not now. |
| 68295 I continue to be conversationally pummeled by the gnome. |
| 68296 It sounds as if you are avoiding something that is unpleasant rather than facing the truth. |
| 68297 If by "lodge," you mean the Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, I will answer as best I can. |
| 68298 That is cruel of you, Anomen. If I return to Faenya-Dail one day, it will be because I am ready to... not because someone felt it necessary to bully me into it. |
| 68299 He's still talking, isn't he? |
| 68300 Yes. |
| 68301 ...which is really the reason I had the donkey to begin with. Good luck with the rash! |
| 68303 Fallen Solar |
| 68304 Einhiris |
| 68305 You? |
| 68306 I have a question for you, Imoen... you have the taint of Bhaal within you? Does this mean that you will turn into the Slayer as well? |
| 68307 Somethin's been troubling me... may I talk to you? |
| 68308 Certainly, Valygar. What's on your mind? |
| 68309 If you must. Try to make it quick, though. |
| 68310 Mazzy, my girl, you are a halfling of most extraordinary courage! I am proud to serve beside you! |
| 68311 I'm not really in the mood to talk right now. |
| 68312 I certainly hope not. I... I've been thinking more and more lately about that myself, though. |
| 68313 So, Anomen, Boo and I had a question about the lodge you seem to hold above all else. |
| 68314 It must be an awful feeling. I can't imagine how <CHARNAME> deals with it. |
| 68315 I understand completely. I will give you your privacy... Perhaps another time. |
| 68316 Sir Keldorn, I have idolized you since I was a girl! You don't know how much it means to hear you say that! |
| 68317 Yeah... <PRO_HESHE>'s been living with it longer too. Sometimes, when it's quiet... I can hear the taint in my heart whispering to me. It says awful things, and I almost want to scream to shut them out. |
| 68318 We tread a dangerous path together. You already have more power than most mortals ever dare dream of. I wonder if you are ready for it? |
| 68319 *gasp* You... you haven't done anything that it's said, have you? |
| 68320 Well... other than that time I got up in the middle of the night to snatch a bag full of cinnamon cookies, heck no. |
| 68321 You are too kind, but thank me not. You deserve all praise. You have earned it! |
| 68322 I am well aware of the responsibilities that come with such power, Valygar. |
| 68323 Oh, goo ...what? Cinnamon cookies? |
| 68324 Ha ha! Oh, come on, Aerie! Lighten up, will ya? I'll tell ya what... if I have any desires to murder you in the middle of the night, you'll be the first to know, okay? |
| 68325 That's not very funny, Imoen. <CHARNAME> never makes fun of <PRO_HISHER> condition in that way. |
| 68326 My power now is but a fraction of what awaits once I achieve my ultimate destiny! |
| 68327 Well, it's been so much easier since I discovered all the Slayer really wants is a sandwich... |
| 68328 Aerie's right, Imoen. It's a very serious subject. |
| 68329 It is as I feared. Power is already corrupting you. Beware, <CHARNAME>, lest it devour you whole. |
| 68330 Oh, fine. Everyone seems determined to make fun of me. I'll stand back here, thank you. |
| 68331 Well, excuse me, <PRO_LADYLORD> Serious Pants. I'll just trot on down to the end of the line, then, and wait for my head to explode. Sheesh. |
| 68332 Save your warnings, Valygar. Soon, the very earth we walk on will shake beneath my might! |
| 68333 This power is my destiny, Valygar. If I do not embrace it, someone else will. |
| 68334 Perhaps. I do not know what destiny awaits you, I have seen how power can destroy those who lust after it. |
| 68335 So... Sarevok. You've had an itty-bitty piece of my soul in there for quite a while now. What's it been like? |
| 68337 Your words reveal much about your character, <CHARNAME>. I suspect that when the time comes, you will do what you must... as will I. I will trouble you no more about this. |
| 68338 I do not lust after power, Valygar. It is thrust upon me. |
| 68339 The only thing my power will destroy is anyone foolish enough to get in my way! |
| 68340 *sigh* Well, other than a slight obsession with my weight and the resurgence of a few pimples, it's been simply grand. Now leave me be, girl. |
| 68341 Your warning has not fallen on deaf ears, Valygar. I will be careful. |
| 68342 No, I'm serious. Does the fact that you've got a piece of me inside you make any difference at all? Tell me... you owe me that much. |
| 68343 What do you wish to know, girl? What are you curious about? |
| 68344 Perhaps you would be interested to know that I can feel the knives of Irenicus, slicing into my skin, torturing me. I can feel his hands and his breath, I *know* what he did to you, girl... |
| 68345 Allâ€â€all right, stop... I wasn't really serious... |
| 68346 How about the agony you felt as your soul was ripped from you? The despair at being left only with the cold voices of your tainted heart, discovering what was inside you all along? |
| 68347 How about the hurt you keep deep down within, wondering if you weren't good enough for Gorion? Wondering why you're a Bhaalspawn? How about the loneliness... the unrequited longing you |
| 68348 Stop! Enough... I won't bother you, Sarevok, just |
| 68349 You are pathetic, girl. When the true Bhaalspawn come to claim your essence, I hope you bring yourself not to flop onto your back at the first hint of danger! |
| 68350 I... I was enough to help kill you once, Sarevok! And I'll stand by <CHARNAME> to the end, just you wait. It was... obviously a mistake to talk to you. Excuse me. |
| 68351 I feel many things, Imoen. And I know that you are stronger than you think you are. |
| 68352 I... thanks, Sarevok. I guess. Um... excuse me... |
| 68353 What... what was it like to die, Sarevok? Seeing as you've been through the experience repeatedly, I can't help but wonder if you've developed some... perspective on it? |
| 68354 Do you intend for me to believe that a weakling such as yourself has never needed to be revived by a priest? Bah! I imagine this group has gained a discount at the temple of Helm for you, dear sister. |
| 68355 Keep prodding me, and that could quickly change. |
| 68356 Yeah, but that's different. That's just some blackness and it's like, "Oops, here you go!" I don't think I've ever been really, really dead like you have. |
| 68357 Oh, you don't fool me. I'm an archmage, after all... and you're nothing but bluster. Tell me what I want to know! |
| 68358 The knowledge would do you no good now, dear sister. And by the time you need it, it will be too late. Now leave me be... your constant chirruping is giving me a headache. |
| 68359 Maurezhi |
| 68360 Maurezhi |
| 68361 Valygar, I have no wish to offend you, but I can remain silent no longer. You are a great warrior and a true defender of what is moral and right... |
| 68362 I've... I've been watching you a little since you got your soul back from Irenicus. There's something different in you. I can feel it. |
| 68363 Why should that offend me, Keldorn? |
| 68364 There's something evil growing within you. The part of me that is devoted to Baervan reels from it... even though I know that it has nothing to do with the person you are, that it's separate. |
| 68365 I think you jest, Valygar... though with you I am never sure. Of course those words will not give offense. But these may: I have once again been pondering your atheistic beliefs. |
| 68366 Keldorn, do not waste your breath trying to convert this heathen. I respect what you stand for, but I have no need of a god to serve... even one as worthy as Helm. |
| 68367 So you say, but your actions say otherwise. You defend righteousness and justice as nobly as any knight of the Order. Perhaps you serve the will of Helm despite your protests to the contrary. |
| 68368 I will take your words as a compliment, Keldorn... and not as a high-handed condemnation of my own beliefs. If you find comfort believing I unwittingly serve Helm, I shall not object. |
| 68369 But you aren't exactly the kindest of people either. Sometimes you do despicable things, and I wonder how long you can be allowed to continue... how long before your taint makes you even worse? |
| 68370 You're basically a good person. Obviously, you fight the urges that Bhaal's taint must put within you... but how long will that continue? Won't the desires in your heart just get worse and worse? |
| 68371 There's going to come a time, according to the prophecy, where the Sword Coast is going to run with blood... and I intend to do everything I can to prevent that. And I hope you will too. |
| 68372 And since you take comfort denying you serveâ€â€though your actions say otherwiseâ€â€I shall no longer let it bother me, friend Valygar. I am glad we had this discussion. |
| 68373 You don't know what you're talking about, Aerie. |
| 68374 Of course, I don't want anyone to get hurt either. |
| 68375 The prophecy is irrelevant. |
| 68376 I intend to claim my birthright... nothing else matters. |
| 68377 Yes, that is the one. You view it with as much respect as I give the Ice Dragon Berserker Lodge of my homeland. If they are similar in their intent, we might seek to join. |
| 68378 I intend to keep fighting this taint, Aerie... no matter what it takes. |
| 68379 If you don't like my methods, then leave. |
| 68380 Maybe not. But I intend to see this through, <CHARNAME>. I will have an effect, if I can... and I pray that you will do the right thing in the end. If Baervan wills it, perhaps it will be so. |
| 68381 I'm glad to hear that, <CHARNAME>. I'll pray for you and remain by your side... and hopefully we will see this through to the end, together. |
| 68382 Yes. |
| 68383 And your... hamster? |
| 68384 As am I, Keldorn. As am I. |
| 68385 Yes. |
| 68386 I disagree. But I will remain with you, <CHARNAME>... for now, at least. Maybe I will be able to have some small effect on how the prophecy turns out. I hope, at least... and I will pray for you. |
| 68387 I won't. Not yet, anyway. You need me, and I still believe in you... and I hope that I can have some small effect on how the prophecy turns out. I will pray for you, my friend... and fight by your side while I can. |
| 68388 I... don't think you would enjoy it, Minsc. No, while your heart is certainly good, I think you would chafe within the... ah... discipline of the Order. |
| 68389 Boo understands the tone of your rejection, though he is confused as to why organizations of good intent must always ride atop the *ahem* pole of righteousness. |
| 68390 I have a question for you, my friend... and it is something I wish you would treat with the sincerity in which it is meant. Do you believe that your ultimate destiny lies in godhood? |
| 68391 I intend to take what power I can. |
| 68392 No, I don't think so. |
| 68393 I have no idea, Anomen. Anything could happen. |
| 68394 This is not the time to discuss this, Anomen. |
| 68395 As you wish. I will wait to ask it another time, then. |
| 68396 I see. Most interesting. |
| 68397 May I have a moment of your time? There are matters of great importance I wish to discuss. |
| 68398 Yes, Keldorn. What is troubling you? |
| 68399 Why do I sense another sermon coming from Sir Holier-than-Thou? |
| 68400 I don't really want to talk about this, Keldorn. |
| 68401 As you wish. Perhaps another time. |
| 68402 It appears your destiny may be far greater than perhaps even you at first suspected. Great power awaits you, and I cannot help but remember that you carry the blood of Bhaal within your veins. |
| 68403 I think my own place here is a part of destiny as well. I do not mean that in a presumptive way... I mean only that perhaps by fighting at your side, I can have a small effect on our future. |
| 68404 I do not condemn you for this, <CHARNAME>... you did not choose to be an offspring of the Lord of Murder. And yet the fact remains: There is evil within you. I cannot ignore it. |
| 68405 It is strange to think, sometimes, of how the future ends up being completely different from what we expect. With you, I am not at all sure what to expect... so seeing what comes will be very interesting indeed. |
| 68406 What are you trying to say, Keldorn? |
| 68407 I fear for you, <CHARNAME>... and I fear you as well. I will stand by your side as long as you walk in the light of truth and justice. And I will help you resist the evil within yourself. |
| 68408 Part of me is very concerned about the future that lies before you. Indeed, before us both. Your taint may win over your intentions at some point... indeed, I am positive not even the Order knows what to make of you for sure. |
| 68409 You could be completely evil and yet serve the cause of justice unbeknownst to yourself. Or the best intentions on your part could lead to all of our destruction. |
| 68410 At the very least, the destruction caused by the other Bhaalspawn will need to be dealt with... and, by Helm, I can have more influence in that by your side than anywhere else. |
| 68411 Are you threatening me, Keldorn? |
| 68412 There is evil in all of us, Keldorn. Even you. |
| 68413 Ahhh, but forgive my rantings. I have talked and rattled on throughout this quest of yours enough for two men. Lead on and I shall follow, <CHARNAME>. |
| 68414 You speak the truth, <CHARNAME>. Each of us must struggle with our own personal demons. But I cannot help but believe yours are... stronger... than most. |
| 68415 A question of you, my friend. An idle one, perhaps, that has been playing across my mind as of late. |
| 68416 I thank you for your support, Keldorn. |
| 68417 And if I feel myself falling to the evil within? |
| 68418 All these deaths... the people of Saradush, amongst so many others... do you believe they are part of your heritage? Part of your nature as the child of murder? Or nothing to do with you, merely fate? |
| 68419 Your pompous attitude doesn't seem like the best way to help me here, Keldorn. |
| 68420 I will say a prayer for you, <CHARNAME>, and ask Helm to guide our steps down the path of your destiny. |
| 68421 They may be part of my nature. I don't know. |
| 68422 People die around me because I kill them, no other reason. |
| 68423 Who knows? I'm surprised you've lived this long. |
| 68424 What are you implying, Anomen? |
| 68425 Part of your nature? Perhaps it is so. I myself wonder what kind of <PRO_MANWOMAN> deserves a fate where so many around <PRO_HIMHER> die. I mean nothing by it; I simply wonder. |
| 68426 I see. Then let me distance myself for a moment, then, before I am added to the list by an errant sword swing. We shall talk again tomorrow, perhaps. |
| 68427 Oh, very funny. I can't say how much I enjoy being the butt of everyone's jests all the time. *sigh* I suppose there are moments when I deserve it, however. |
| 68428 I only ask because it seems, at times, as if your fate is this massive *thing* that plows the lives of all others before it. How... how does that make you feel? |
| 68429 I imply nothing, <CHARNAME>. There is no need to be suspicious; I simply... wonder what it would be like to have such a fate pressing upon my shoulders. |
| 68430 I don't know. And I don't want to discuss it. |
| 68431 I don't feel anything about it, Anomen. |
| 68432 It feels good to know that I am so powerful. |
| 68433 I'm a bit horrified by it all, to tell the truth. |
| 68434 Fearful, perhaps. Wondering what is going to be next. |
| 68435 Strong. Potent. Invincible. |
| 68436 I see. If only there were... no. No, never mind. Let us continue on, <CHARNAME>... I'm sure there's much to do today yet. |
| 68437 So. You're part of that Order of the Radiant Heart, right, Anomen? The paladins and clerics that run around Amn getting outraged at everything? |
| 68438 I must say, Mazzy, you are proving to be quite unique among the halflings I've met in my experience. |
| 68439 How do you mean? |
| 68440 I meant no offense, of course. You have certainly found your own balance within yourself, despite how far that deviates from traditional fields. |
| 68441 I find your description bordering on insult, girl... but, yes, I am a member of the Order. Why? |
| 68442 I do not think of that much. I just felt there was something I had to do with my life. The hearth still calls to me, but... but... |
| 68443 Ha! An apt description of those blowhards if ever I've heard one. No, dear girl, I am no member of the Order... although I was once a novice. Why do you ask? |
| 68444 Regrets? I should hope not. You are a shining example. |
| 68445 Well, a full hundred of them marched all solemn-like up to Candlekeep about ten years ago, all to donate a single book to the monks. Did you know about that? |
| 68446 Thank you for that, but sometimes... Ah well. We all could have been something else. Someone else. |
| 68447 No, but it sounds like something the Order might do, depending on the book. |
| 68448 All this fighting, this conflict. Old enemies and new. Strange times, aren't they, Valygar? |
| 68449 It was a big book, as I recall. I stole into the archive to look at it... did you know it had all sorts of pictures of naked men and women? Total filth! I'm surprised the Order even had something like that. |
| 68450 I suppose. I don't give it much thought. |
| 68451 No doubt it was a book of great evil. Perhaps the Order gave it over to the care of your monks so it would not be used by those of impure intentions. |
| 68452 Really? Perhaps that is the difference in our duty to nature. You act and trust in your instincts, whereas I seem to spend many hours in contemplation. |
| 68453 You don't say? Well, perhaps the prelate was finished with it and gave it to the head of your monks as something of a present? Those paladins are quite the repressed lot of stuffed shirts, you know. |
| 68454 Hmm. |
| 68455 Well, I don't know about that. Winthrop caught me peeking and gave me hell like you wouldn't believe... but I noticed he kept the book in his room after that point. |
| 68456 Nothing to add? |
| 68457 Not especially. This was your chat. |
| 68458 Ah. Yes, I suppose it was, although I didn't think it would provoke such indifference. |
| 68459 Vile girl! I'll not listen to any more of this! Go bother <CHARNAME>! |
| 68460 Oh, they're not so bad, I guess. Better them than some of the evil I've seen... they can just be kinda pompous, as I remember. You're not as bad as I figured you might be, though, Anomen. |
| 68461 Perhaps it requires more quiet contemplation. |
| 68462 Ah, I see. Perhaps it does at that. |
| 68463 Well, I'm glad you think so. I escaped from their clutches just in time, I suppose, eh? |
| 68464 Are you well, Imoen? I trust you would say if you were having any... difficulties. |
| 68465 Cernd, what is it? You've been looking at me funny for days now. |
| 68466 Well, it's been a very trying time for us all, but especially so for you. To learn that you are not as... natural as you might have thought... |
| 68467 I meant no offense, but birds and reptiles are often at death's door before they show any symptom of trouble. Not that you would be one or the other, but... |
| 68468 I see. You are worried about my being a child of Bhaal. Is that it? Well, I'm sure I'll let you know if I'm going to change into some monstrous killing machine. |
| 68469 Well, of *course* there is always someone about who feels the need to comment on my life. Helm preserve me. *sigh* |
| 68470 "Escaped," Anomen? Perhaps you were not present at your Trial? |
| 68471 But I just might, is that it? Cernd, I like you, but don't treat me like I don't know myself. I'm fine, really. |
| 68472 Escaped? That is not quite how I would describe it. |
| 68473 I apologize, of course. |
| 68474 Escaped, is it? An interesting take on actual events, cleric. |
| 68475 Besides, I'm hoping for bird. Heh. Kidding. |
| 68476 Escaped? Har har! Like a bleedin', puny fish escapes when it is thrown back into the stinkin' sea! Har har, ye're a card, Anomen! |
| 68477 You look a little down, Edwin. You're not upset, are you? |
| 68478 My mood is no concern of yours, child. |
| 68479 You've become less blustery, I think. Maybe... maybe you're mad everyone else is finding destinies and prophecies and generally surpassing you in every way? |
| 68480 You go too far, girl! I hold none of you above me! |
| 68481 I mean, even me, little frail Imoen, is a big scary child of Bhaal now! That's got to be frustrating. |
| 68482 Now that is just nonsense! All of it! |
| 68483 Hey Edwin! BOO! |
| 68484 WHA�! What... is it... NOW?! |
| 68485 He flinched! The big bad mage flinched! HAHA! Oooh, look, I'm Bhaal. I'm big and scary, ooohh. |
| 68486 Now that was just... you are just being... |
| 68487 Oooooh, don't worry, the big bad Imoen won't scare you no more. Heeheehee... "Boo," I says, and he jumped out of his skin... *snicker* |
| 68488 *grumble* ...whelp... child... monkey-brained... how would you like your flaming death, you... grrrr... |
| 68489 A moment, Imoen, if you don't mind? |
| 68490 I suppose, Jaheira. What is it you want? |
| 68491 Well, that is just it, isn't it? You have been so formal to me, so distant. Is there something wrong? |
| 68492 I don't... I'm not... Well, actually, I have been a little nervous around you because of... well... |
| 68493 Because of my association with the Harpers? I thought so. <CHARNAME> has suffered at the hands of many groups because of <PRO_HISHER> lineage, and now that you share it... |
| 68494 I don't mean to be a stranger, but... people will see me differently now. I just know. |
| 68495 Let them see you however they wish. What can you do but just be yourself? I know these are only words, but... you will be fine. |
| 68496 I know. Thanks though. |
| 68497 Minsc, I want a hamster. |
| 68498 What, what? Well, an admirable decision, but Boo is not for sale. |
| 68499 Not Boo, you goof. My own hamster. I just see how calming he is for you, and as a pet, he seems very easy to maintain. I just thought... |
| 68500 OH! Well then, by all means! And yes, very little requirements. Food, shelter, and perhaps the little wheel. I have heard nothing but good things about the little wheel. |
| 68501 Well, I don't want one right away. I doubt I could manage one on the road as well as you, but once this is done, maybe then. |
| 68502 Of course. Boo is special among his kind, and quite resilient. Have I mentioned he is a miniature giant space hamster? I'm sure I have. |
| 68503 Yes, you have, Minsc. Yes, you have. |
| 68504 'Tis been far too long since our last battle. Jan, ye runty windbag, tell me a story to ward off the boredom... and if ye know what's good fer ye, it'll be about dwarves! |
| 68505 Ah, finally, someone who appreciates my tales! A story about dwarves, eh? Let me see... Of courseâ€â€my cousin Kimble. Not himself a dwarf, per se, but Kimble always was of peculiar tastes for a gnome. He fell in love with a dwarven lass. She was stout and stocky, with a gruff voice and a soft, supple, full beard... |
| 68506 Ah, gnome, ye know how to paint a lovely picture... such a beauty she must ha' been! |
| 68507 Oh yes, she was a fine-looking woman... to Kimble's eyes, at least. She cast a spell on him far stronger than any sorcerer ever could. But she wouldn't have anything to do with my cousinâ€â€she had dwarven princes and clan lords after her calloused hand, and she couldn't be bothered with a dirt poor turnip-farming gnome. But Kimble's heart wouldn't be denied... he left his own family to follow this bewitching creature back to her clan home. |
| 68508 Ye're losin me, gnome... I don't want some weepy love story. I want killin' and death! Give me blood! |
| 68509 You wanted a story about dwarves, and this is the only one I've got. I can't just make up a lie, you know... that would be an affront to the grand tradition of storytelling in my family! Now, where was I? Oh yes, Kimble. My cousin followed the lovely dwarven lass to her clan home in the Alimir Mountains and started a turnip farm there. He had a rough go of it at first, let me tell you... taxes, levies, zoning restrictions. It was almost like the dwarves didn't want him and his farm there. But they had never tried turnips, so they didn't really know what they were missing. |
| 68510 Once those turnips started to sprout, things changed in a hurry. Turns out the dwarves of that particular clan LOVED turnips. Fried, baked, boiled, whipped, pureed, mashedâ€â€you couldn't find a meal of the day that they didn't have turnips with. Turnips became so fashionable the dwarves began to wear clothes made from turnips. Never did a dwarf look so snazzy (or smell so appetizing) as when he was dressed up in a turnip top hat and turnip tails, with turnip skin shoes to complete the ensemble. And with his turnip business booming, Kimble found himself with more wealth than he knew what to do with. Just walking around his house was an effort, what with all the mountains of gold spilling out of every door of every room. |
| 68511 All that gold got my attention, gnome, but the happy ending isn't doin' much fer me. |
| 68512 HAR! HAR! HAR! A great tale, gnome. Ye done yerself proud! |
| 68513 Happy ending? I never said any such thing. Kimble was rich, true enoughâ€â€but it turns out his dwarven love didn't share her clan's fondness for turnips. In fact, she was deathly allergic. She did her best to avoid the lethal vegetables, but as popular as Kimble's crops were, it was only a matter of time until she accidentally ate one. It killed her, of course. Heartbroken, Kimble tried to return to his own people. But the dwarves weren't just going to let him and his turnips leave. They threw him in prison and demanded he reveal the secrets of turnip farming, but that isn't something you can just teach. You either have the gift or you don't, and dwarves don't. In the end, Kimble's frail body succumbed to the dwarves' torture and interrogation, and he left to join his beloved in the afterlife. And that particular clan of dwarves discovered that turnip farmers were almost as tasty as the turnips themselves. Or so I've heard. |
| 68514 Spellhaunt |
| 68515 Spellhaunt |
| 68516 I see your eyes upon me, cleric. Quit your glares or I'll pluck out your eyes with my sword, I swear. |
| 68517 You could try, abomination. I doubt you would succeed. I merely wonder at how, exactly, you managed to worm your way into the ranks of this group! |
| 68518 By being useful. Something you would know nothing about. |
| 68519 Well, you blackmailed <CHARNAME> in return for your information, that's true... but I fail to see what use you provide now. Perhaps <CHARNAME> should simply kill you again. |
| 68520 My use is in my sword and my skill. I have no whining petulance to draw on, as you do. And my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER> shall do as <PRO_HESHE> pleases, so quit your mewling and begone. |
| 68521 You have changed, Sarevok. Your new outlook is apparent even to me. Only... I wonder if this is not some sort of act to cater to the hopes of our leader. |
| 68522 It is no act, cleric. It is also none of your business. |
| 68523 On the contrary, <CHARNAME>'s safety is my duty, and I wonder at your motives. |
| 68524 My motives may not be as blindingly apparent as your own, fool, but they are also not as superficial. |
| 68525 Well, do astound me with your sheer depth, then, Sarevok. What is it you hope to gain by traveling with <CHARNAME>? |
| 68526 Redemption. |
| 68527 Redemption? You must be joking. |
| 68528 Redemption. Among other things. Now begone... were it not that <CHARNAME> calls you a friend, I would cut you down where you stand for your impudence. |
| 68529 Mazzy, dear, have I ever told you about my Aunt Petunia the ranger? |
| 68530 Yes, Jan, I have already heard that tale, thank you. |
| 68531 Why, hullo, Cernd. You're a druid, right? Maybe you can answer a question for me. |
| 68532 Really? Are you quite sure? This is the one where she... |
| 68533 Yes, that's the one. One of your best, but I have heard it before. |
| 68534 Well then, let me regale you with tales of my years as a... |
| 68535 I am a druid, yes... and of course, I would be happy to answer any of your questions... although that mischievous look of yours tells me I'm about to be made fun of. |
| 68536 I have heard that one as well, Jan. |
| 68537 I would never make fun of you, Cernd. Although you do look cute when you're frustrated. |
| 68538 But I didn't even say anything! Ah, here's one I KNOW you haven't heard. Back when I was... |
| 68539 I am sorry to disappoint you, Jan, but I already know that one too. |
| 68540 *sigh* What is it you want to know, Imoen? |
| 68541 A-HA! I made that last one up just to test you, Mazzy! There is no such story. |
| 68542 Well... how does someone become a druid? You don't just wake up one day and decide you want to go kiss a tree, do you? |
| 68543 You're more intelligent than that, Imoen. Did you become a thief by accident, discovering your hand in someone's pocket one day? |
| 68544 You mean to say you have been telling us falsehoods this whole time, Jan? I am so very, very disappointed in you. Since you admit to your dishonesty, I can no longer in good conscience listen to your stories ever again. |
| 68545 Actually, yes. I was eight years old, and Winthrop had this big gold chain hanging out of the back pocket of his robes all day, staring me in the face. I just couldn't help myself. |
| 68546 You know, for a girl who has been through so much and has only recently discovered herself to be Bhaalspawn, you have a remarkable talent for making light of things. |
| 68547 Huh... that really didn't go the way I expected. |
| 68548 Well, I suppose I could be all angsty and mope around, but I leave that to <CHARNAME>. Oh, wait... I think <PRO_HESHE> heard us. Let's go over here... |
| 68549 I have had enough of your constant flinching, druid. Do you have something to say to me or not? |
| 68550 I... I apologize, Sarevok. I know that there are reasons for your presence amongst us, but... you seem so unnatural to me that I cannot help but be repelled. |
| 68551 You have encountered many things far more unnatural than me. How about the mortal spawn of an evil god... does that not strike you as unnatural in any way? |
| 68552 At... at least it is still birth and life, Sarevok. It is part of the natural cycle. Even a Bhaalspawn dies in a natural manner. You are a dead thing that has risen again. |
| 68553 The same would be true for any undead creature. |
| 68554 But you are not undead. You are as the tree stump, sprouted again into a full oak. A marvel, perhaps... but also living denial of the natural cycle. I just find it... disturbing, is all. |
| 68555 Korgy, old pal, have I ever told you how much you remind me of my uncle Uriah Twin-Hammers? |
| 68556 Get over it quickly then, druid. The next time you flinch in my presence, I shall be forced to run you through. Then let's see if you can accomplish rebirth as I did. |
| 68557 Then we have little to say to each other, druid. I live again for a purpose, and I will not fail it... Your disturbances mean nothing to me, so stay out of my way. |
| 68558 Watch yer step, gnome. If ye make me angry, I'll bury the head of me axe so far up yer backside yer breath'll smell like magic metal! |
| 68559 That's exactly the kind of thing Twin-Hammers would say. He was a ruthless, savage, bloodthirsty outlaw who would kill anyone or anything that got in his way. He used to repeatedly terrorize a certain gnomish village he frequently wandered through in his never-ending quest for profit and bloodshed. |
| 68560 I have a philosophical question for you, Cernd. If you're willing, that is. |
| 68561 HAR! HAR! HAR! 'Tis a good thing ye know yer audience, gnome... me axe stays in my belt. |
| 68562 A challenge, Nalia? Why, certainly... I have nothing against more intellectual pursuits, although I do not claim anything like your own acuity. |
| 68563 Don't worry... this is your territory. I was simply wondering on your own feelings about <CHARNAME>'s place in the balance. |
| 68564 Of course, all good things come to an end. Fed up with Uriah's antics, the village hired a hero to protect them and enforce the lawâ€â€the legendary Clint Hackman (so named for his habit of chopping his foes to little bits). With the townsfolk peering from their windows, the outlaw and the famous lawman stared each other down in the center of the dusty, deserted street. Cold as ice, Uriah said, "I've killed women and children. I've killed everything that walks or crawls on this earth. And now I'm here to kill you." |
| 68565 Ah. I have given that considerable thought, actually. |
| 68566 And? What are your conclusions? Does <CHARNAME> threaten the balance or not? |
| 68567 Our stalwart leader may be evil, it is true... but this does not mean that <PRO_HESHE> threatens the balance. The balance may be served in the end, even unknowingly... it is too early to say for certain. |
| 68568 Our stalwart leader may not be evil, it is true... but there is a significant potential for destruction in <PRO_HISHER> taint. The balance could be served... or harmed... unknowingly, even. It is too early to tell. |
| 68569 But either way, I would say that the potential for chaos is far greater than I would like. Hopefully, we can influence the amount of chaos with our presence... that is my hope, anyway. |
| 68570 Why? What are your thoughts on the matter, Nalia? |
| 68571 I've a few thoughts on the matter, but I choose to keep them to myself for now. |
| 68572 That hardly seems fair. |
| 68573 I mean no offense, Cernd. Thank you for your insight, however. |
| 68574 A man after me own black heart! Carry on, gnome... ye got me blood stirrin'! |
| 68575 Alas, Uriah met his end in that street. With his first blow, he broke his hammer on Hackman's shield, and that was it. Weaponless, he wasn't much of a match for the mighty Clint. If my uncle had only been named Twin-Hammer because he carried two weapons, he might still be alive today. But Uriah got his nickname for the mighty hammer he carried in his belt and the even mightier... uh, "hammer" he had *beneath* his belt, if you get my drift. A fine instrument to have, but not much good in a fight. |
| 68576 You've been on the surface for quite some time now, Viconia. Tell me... have you encountered the normal effects of prolonged exposure to the sun experienced by your kind? |
| 68577 Such as an overwhelming desire to crush the skull of overinquisitive iblith? Why, yes... the urge comes and goes. |
| 68578 No, no. I was referring to the loss of your native drow abilities, like the natural resistance to magic that you possess. |
| 68579 I have lost my resistance to handsome males, druid. Has anyone told you how manly you are? Come closer, Cernd... let us explore this thought further. |
| 68580 Errr, no thank you. My curiosity was only related to your biology, Viconia. |
| 68581 I know all manner of secrets related to biology, jaluk. |
| 68582 I'm... sure you do. |
| 68583 Coward. |
| 68584 Perhaps, but I'm a living one. Excuse me... |
| 68585 Dense Pudding |
| 68586 Dense Pudding |
| 68587 Rock |
| 68588 Rock |
| 68589 Ha, brother! Fools have come for our treasure! |
| 68590 If you don't mind me saying so, Cernd, you seem a bit jumpy around me. Do I, uh... unnerve you somehow? |
| 68591 It's not you personally, though I am concerned with the gadgets you are often fiddling with. |
| 68592 Ah, my Flashers and such? Concerned they may be unnatural? Unbalancing? Unnaturally balancing? |
| 68593 Carras |
| 68594 I shall split their bones and drink my mead from their skulls! |
| 68595 Ah, Viconia, my dusky jewel... I was merely admiring your natural grace, your striking beauty, and your exotic voice. You could surely have made a fine career on the stage. |
| 68596 They do seem to harness more energy than such a small package should contain. |
| 68597 Nothing to be concerned about, I assure you. Only the finest of fillings find foothold in a fantabulous Jansen Family Flasher firework. Find fault and finances refunded free. |
| 68598 Garock |
| 68599 Garock |
| 68600 Well, that aside, I'm sure they are just a clever mixture of natural elements, though you'll understand if I prefer to be a respectable distance when they are set off. |
| 68601 Oh, I would recommend it. Normally sedate Uncle Flippy turned into quite the conversationalist after getting a little too close to one. "WHAT?!" he would say. "WHAT?! WHAT?!" |
| 68602 I feel your eyes roving over me, tiefling. Do you see something you desire? |
| 68603 No doubt, my smooth-tongued bard. Yet I chose to put my talents to a greater purpose. |
| 68604 What greater purpose could there be? 'Tis truly noble to court the approval of the audience. |
| 68605 In drow society, we have no use for the theater. We act and dissemble to advance our station. An unconvincing performance ends not with boos and catcalls, but with slow and painful death. |
| 68606 No use for theater? Please excuse this wounded sparrow's flight, but I must retreat beneath the onslaught of pain such a harsh and unimaginable world brings to my heart. |
| 68607 The way you look at me, my mourning dove, I expect you've something on your mind. Come... ask the sparrow what you wish and put your mind at ease. |
| 68608 It's just that... for all the destruction and death we've seen as of late, you seem awfully... unperturbed. I think all of this is horrifying, and yet you just seem so... unaffected. |
| 68609 Oh? 'Tis not so at all. I find all of this a marvel to behold indeed. 'Twould be rare to find something to compare even on the planes. |
| 68610 You... *like* all this destruction? |
| 68611 I am a Doomguard, my dove. The forces of entropy seek to destroy all of the universe, and it is our place to hasten the process when we can... and marvel at its effect. |
| 68612 Don't be absurd! You have to fight against that kind of destruction! Look at the grief it leaves in its wake! |
| 68613 Only through destruction and death is rebirth possible, my dove. 'Tis the natural way of things. |
| 68614 It's not *natural* to cheer it on, to hasten the process! You have to fight against that kind of evil, Haer'Dalis! To not do so would be... unthinkable! |
| 68615 And who says such a process is evil? 'Tis a narrow view you've founded for yourself, my dove, though not unexpected. Perhaps with experience and travel, your eyes will be opened a little. |
| 68616 I... see. I knew we were different, my bard... but not this different. |
| 68617 Indeed. Come, let us proceed apace before the others continue on without us. |
| 68618 Why the shudder, Aerie? My love, you look completely distraught! What is wrong? |
| 68619 My great and noble hound, I sense your spirit is heavy. What troubles the mighty paladin? |
| 68620 Oh... I was just thinking about Saradush. All those poor people! Killed because of some power-hungry Bhaalspawn! All that anguish, I just can't believe it! |
| 68621 Aye, 'tis a wonder to behold, is it not? |
| 68622 A wonder? What... what do you mean by that? What happened to Saradush is *terrible*! |
| 68623 I understand your sympathy for the townsfolk, my dove, and I love you for it all the more. But 'tis nothing to shy one's gaze from. Entropy is a good thing... the forces we are witnessing are completely enthralling... |
| 68624 I *won't* accept that view, Haer'Dalis! I think it's a disgusting way to look on it! |
| 68625 Your observation is most astute, my good bard. I am indeed troubled by our current course. |
| 68626 I don't chide you for your beliefs, my dove. The Doomguard philosophy does not deserve your spite. |
| 68627 Yes, it does! You... you would not only advocate that Saradush's destruction was a good thing, you would say that we should *assist* in its destruction! The more the better! |
| 68628 But shall your shining example not guide us down the proper path, Sir Keldorn? |
| 68629 My assistance was not required in this case, but in essence, you are correct. All things are torn down to create the new. 'Tis a cycle that we are part of and must accept. |
| 68630 I am not the leader of this group... though even if I were, I do not know if it would make a difference. No matter what path <CHARNAME> chooses, I fear it will be a journey awash in blood. |
| 68631 Well, I won't stand for it. And I won't be with any man who feels that way, Haer'Dalis. |
| 68632 But... my love, are you sure that |
| 68633 Don't call me that. You may think me naive, but I know what evil is, and I won't stand for it. You and I are through, Haer'Dalis. |
| 68634 Aye, we are but mere players in this tragedy, reading our lines from a grim and heavy script. Though I myself still hold out hope for a happy ending. |
| 68635 *sigh* As you wish, my mourning dove. Entropy affects even love, so this was not unexpected. It is good to see you have grown as a result. |
| 68636 Just... just leave me alone. |
| 68637 As do I. But life does not always imitate art, and I fear this may be one of those times. Speak of this no further... I do not want to upset the others. |
| 68638 Imoen... you grew up in Candlekeep too, did you not? Since you were very young? |
| 68639 Yup. I was climbing the walls and driving the monks up them since I was a little girl. Why? |
| 68640 Well... you grew up with <CHARNAME> then, didn't you? |
| 68641 Sure did. We were both Gorion's wards, and it wasn't like there were lots of us kids around, you know. |
| 68642 Magic Golem |
| 68643 Magic Golem |
| 68644 I've a few questions about <CHARNAME>, then... if you wouldn't mind me asking. They're a bit... personal. |
| 68645 Haer'Dalis, why are you constantly staring at me? Do you see something strange? |
| 68646 Heck, I don't mind. Um... <CHARNAME> might, though. You think <PRO_HESHE> can hear us? |
| 68647 Not strange, my tiny hawk... amazing. A great actor may play a giant, and though he stands no taller, he seems to tower over his fellows on the stage. |
| 68648 Maybe. Let's go talk about this somewhere more private, then. I'm just dying of curiosity... |
| 68649 Ahh, Imoen, my wildflower. Have I ever told you that you've a most natural grace and innocent beauty about you? 'Tis something any man would find most charming. |
| 68650 Hee hee. Yeah, okay, whatever. I don't know about my grace, but I'm not all that innocent, Haer'Dalis. I can smell a cheesy come-on from a mile away. |
| 68651 'Twas not meant as such. I've no intention of offending you. |
| 68652 Uh-huh. |
| 68653 'Tis only that I see you in an unguarded moment at times... and I see the ache in your heart reflected in your eyes. It saddens this sparrow to know there is no one to hold you close, Imoen. |
| 68654 Not in the physical sense. But recently, when I look at you, I see not only a valiant halfling, but also a warrior-giantess of virtue striding the earth. |
| 68655 I... |
| 68656 But no doubt I overstep my bounds by saying so. It has only ever been my hope that you might one day give me the chance to be the one that comforts you. It would be an honor, my wildflower. |
| 68657 Whew. Gosh, you're good. |
| 68658 Yes, I know. 'Tis an art form that has served this sparrow well at times. |
| 68659 Write a book. I'll buy it. |
| 68660 Imoen! What Are you pawing at me yet again? Do you think I do not notice? You are attempting to pickpocket me, aren't you?! |
| 68661 Are you saying I look... taller? |
| 68662 Oh! Well... no, I... I just thought... uh... |
| 68663 Then I shall thank you for the compliment... though I still think it rude to stare. |
| 68664 Just what? Out with it, girl. I won't have a party member stealing from me. |
| 68665 No, no, that's not it! I... I was just... I was just trying to find out if you're as muscular under your armor as you look. |
| 68666 Eh? What's this? |
| 68667 Oh, I know that you're married and all that, Keldorn... but do you have *any* idea how good you look? I... I can't help myself, I just want to touch you all the time! |
| 68668 Imoen! I... I have a daughter that is the same age as you! |
| 68670 By Torm, no! This is terrible! I... I had no idea I had this effect on you... |
| 68671 Oh, get over yourself already, Keldorn! Sheesh. *giggle* Here's your ring back. I won't take it again, I promise. |
| 68672 I don't know what it is, Keldorn... maybe it's the Bhaal essence in me. I just want to run my fingers through your hair and nibble on your ears! Oh, Keldorn, you drive me so wild! |
| 68673 So, Valygar... word on the street is that ya killed your parents. Is that true? Sounds pretty horrid, if ya ask me. |
| 68674 Vortex Spider |
| 68675 Vortex Spider |
| 68676 Anomen... a moment of your time, if I may. I have been observing your... combat tactics recently, and I wish to ask you a question. |
| 68677 For what do you bother me, tiefling? I need no further comments on how I may improve my fighting style from a prancer such as yourself. |
| 68678 You consider *this* acceptable casual conversation? Just walk up and ask someone if they killed their parents? |
| 68679 Would you prefer to let the rumor mill have its way? |
| 68680 I couldn't care less what people have to say about me. People have talked about my family all my life. |
| 68681 Well, that's a pretty sour attitude. You know, they say your face freezes like that. |
| 68682 On the contrary, dear Anomen. It is your style I now most admire and wish to emulate. |
| 68683 For someone who supposedly has her soul tainted by the evil of a dead god, you remind me considerably of a chipmunk with a sugar high and a death wish. |
| 68684 Truly? Well then... ask what you will, and I shall strive to answer as best I may. Perhaps my technique shall save your life in combat some day. |
| 68685 Combat? Oh no, you misunderstand. I would use your style for my stage performances... it is far too florid and grandiose for effective use in battle. |
| 68686 Ooo! Funny! That's good! |
| 68687 I have better things to do than listen to your prattling! |
| 68688 I try my best. |
| 68689 You see, even in my fanciest spins, there is always efficiency and conservation of movement... as there is in any fighting style. Except yours. Perhaps your overblown thrusts and stabs are the result of your overblown ego? |
| 68691 Very well. I shall watch you from afar, good hound, and learn what I may from mere observation. |
| 68692 Haery, could I draw upon your bardic prowess to help me with a little poem I'm working on? It's a tribute to our fearless leader. |
| 68693 I truly wish you would call me by my proper name, Jan. But I shall be happy to collaborate with you on such an epic subject. |
| 68694 Great, Haery. I knew I could count on you. I'm off to a pretty good start, but I need rhymes for "purple," "orange," and "silver." |
| 68695 Forgive me, Imoen, if I'm being too inquisitive, but I simply must know. Are you feeling any ill effects from the taint on your soul? |
| 68696 Ah well... perhaps you are focusing too much on colors, Jan. Mayhaps we could take this ballad in a different direction. |
| 68697 Vortex Web |
| 68698 Okay, I'll work on that stanza myself. Maybe you can help me with the next verse. What's a good rhyme for "bucket"? |
| 68699 Ill effects? What kind of ill effects? Irritableness? Nausea, tone deafness, sudden cravings for pasta in the middle of the night? That sort of thing? |
| 68700 I'm being serious. <CHARNAME> became the Slayer once, under stress... we must watch for similar signs in you. |
| 68701 There's no guarantee that I'll do anything like <CHARNAME>, Mazzy. It may be too early to tell, even, for me... and even then I may not gain any of the powers <CHARNAME> has. |
| 68702 So are you saying you feel *no* different? |
| 68703 Well... a little, maybe. I won't say it's been easy, but I don't know how you can help me, Mazzy. |
| 68704 Having an extra friend certainly couldn't hurt, Imoen. |
| 68705 One does spring readily to mind... Listen, my would-be sparrow, I do not mean to give offense, but perhaps you could let me work with the composition and add my own brand of subtle wit to the mix. |
| 68706 I suppose you're right. Thanks. |
| 68707 Ah, Haery, let's just forget about it. I was born a storyteller, and a storyteller I'll remain until the day I die. I'm no poet, and I never will be. |
| 68708 You know, Jan... I was listening to a story you were telling a little earlier. I thought it was quite fascinating. |
| 68710 Indeed? Well, I must say I've never looked at goat cheese quite the same way again. And neither did poor Gilbert. Or any of his cats. |
| 68711 And neither will <CHARNAME>, the way <PRO_HESHE> was groaning. Your story did remind me of a tale I heard back in Candlekeep, though. |
| 68712 Oh? A new story? My, my... you've got the tiniest toes on my gnomish feet wiggling like Aunt Petunia trying to get into her sunday dress. Let's hear it. |
| 68713 Normally, I would encourage an artist such as yourself to branch out, but in this case, abandoning the genre may be for the best. |
| 68714 Well, it just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room... that way he would never have to spend any of his time dusting because his room was always clean. |
| 68715 Ingenious! Go on. |
| 68716 It turned out that dust demons gossip a lot, and their tale of Winthrop's nightly goat milk had spread. So along comes this three-armed balor (there's a longer story about why the balor had only three arms, and besides the fact that he was nicknamed "Smart Mouth" by the greater powers in the Abyss, I won't go into it any more than that) who flies into Candlekeep in the middle of the night and storms his way over to Winthrop's cell and drinks the milk. The balor, however, had misheard the gossip and thought that he was drinking the milk of a pregnant glabrezu. Don't ask me why. |
| 68717 Well, he must have been very disappointed. I know I would have been. |
| 68718 Indeed he was. He put up such a fuss and racket, pounding on the door to Winthrop's cell, that he woke up just about everyone in the keep. Including Gorion, who usually slept pretty soundly and didn't wake up very well anyway. Well, Gorion was all groggy and thought the keep was under attack and just about blew the roof off with a series of fireballs and lightning bolts. <CHARNAME> was so scared <PRO_HESHE> cried like a baby. |
| 68719 I see you eyeing me, dwarf. Are you looking to test your metal against mine? |
| 68720 Hmph. I don't blame <PRO_HIMHER>. Uncle Scratchy once did something similar with a bad mixture of turnip stew and vinegar, but the smell was probably worse. |
| 68721 Gorion was terribly angry. He was grumbling, and <CHARNAME> was bawling; people were running around everywhere... it was quite a scene. They banned goat's milk from the keep, which meant that Winthrop had to dust his own room after that point and taught him a lesson about trying to get out of work, as well. |
| 68722 I just be tryin' to come to a reckoning about yer nature, ye walkin' ghost. |
| 68723 Hmmm. What happened to the balor? |
| 68724 Oh. The monks bought him off with a tome of jokes about baatezu. I hear he's been touring the Abyss ever since. Gets heckled a lot, but what do you expect for a comedian in Hell? |
| 68725 Truly. And what have you concluded, Korgan Bloodaxe? Am I friend or foe? |
| 68726 Hmmm. Hm. All right. Yes, very good job there, lass. At least one turnip reference might be called for in the future, but all-around well done. |
| 68727 Ye're handy enough during a fight, but when I kill something, I want to know it's gonna stay dead. That's where I be havin' a problem with you. |
| 68728 *giggle* I'll keep that in mind. |
| 68729 Unless you plan on killing me as I sleep, dwarf, that is not your concern. |
| 68730 Aye, that be true enough, I guess. Yer strange return to the land o' the livin' matters not. As long as ye be willing to throw yer blade into the mix, ye're not hurting our group none. |
| 68731 Hmph! Imoen, ye're an o'erlame excuse fer a member o' this party, and I be tired of exertin' meself to protect ye! Next time, I let ye perish, screamin' like a ninny as ye does! |
| 68732 The last time I saw you exert yourself over anything was the last slab of pork at an inn. If you could keep up with me with that beer gut of yours, I'd be amazed. |
| 68733 Beer gut?! Why, ye stinkin' wench, how dare ye! Keep up with my keen axe as it flies towards yer head, more like! Though it'd be like splittin' a hair, skinny as ye are! |
| 68734 I'd be startled if a drunk dwarven oaf like yourself could hit the broad side of a barn with your axe. And while we're talking about stench, let's talk about the last time you passed out in your own vomit. |
| 68735 An outrage! Ye're a canker on me backside, and the world would be best rid of ye! Loathsome mongrel she-dog! |
| 68736 Brutish pig! You're nothing but a boil needing lancing! |
| 68737 I've seen harlots wi' less open sores than ye, ye pimple-faced, whining guttersnipe! |
| 68738 You cantankerous, foul-mouthed excuse for a gully dwarf! |
| 68739 Gully dwarf? Har har! Ye knows how to hit low, ye does! Har har! Ye're a fine, fine lass, ye are, Imoen. That Gorion of yers would be proud! |
| 68740 Aw, gee. Thanks, Korgan! |
| 68741 And I could say the same about you. We are done here, dwarf. |
| 68742 Ach, Sarevok! Ye're a bloody killin' machine, ye are! |
| 68743 Nalia, do you intend to go back to your castle once all of this is over? |
| 68744 I don't know. Perhaps. If I do, though, things will have to be different. |
| 68745 Different in what way? |
| 68746 There'd be changes in the laws and taxation... and some real alterations to the system of land ownership. There's a base inequality amongst people that I can begin to address in my land. |
| 68747 Wow. Sounds like you've given this some serious thought. |
| 68748 Making changes in my father's duchy wouldn't be enough. I'd have to get onto the Council of Six as well... although that plan is a bit more complicated. |
| 68749 That'd be a neat trick, bringing change to all of Amn. Wouldn't those Roenalls still be a thorn for you, though? And what about the Cowled Wizards? |
| 68750 I'm an archmage, Imoen... just like you. The Roenalls won't stop me from doing what I know is right. And I could always join the Cowled Wizards... how many of them are as powerful as I? |
| 68751 Violence has always come easily to me. It seems little has changed. |
| 68752 In the cold nether realm, while I waited to be reborn, I sorely missed the crimson spray and the hot tang of death on my tongue. |
| 68753 Okay, somebody's getting a little scary... |
| 68754 Nonsense. It's called growing up. I have a responsibility as a noblewoman and a mage both, and eventually, I will have to live up to them. |
| 68755 Even after my resurrection, violent rage pollutes my tainted blood. As <CHARNAME> can surely attest, it is a constant struggle to keep our bloodlust in check. |
| 68756 I... I've been having some nightmares. Really strange ones, like sailing on rivers of blood. So *real*. You... you used to dream a lot. Right before Gorion died. Was it... was it like that? |
| 68757 Aye, well said me armor-plated friend! Welcome back to the land of the living, where the chance to reap a gruesome slaughter lurks around every corner! Har har har! |
| 68758 Don't be turnin' all moral and weak on me, Sarevok! If ye're gonna get prissy about killin', we canna discuss this anymore! |
| 68759 Yes, it was. Worse, sometimes. |
| 68760 No, you're imagining things, Imoen. |
| 68761 Don't worry, Imoen. It'll be okay. |
| 68762 I don't want to talk about it. |
| 68763 Buck up and deal with it, Imoen. |
| 68764 Worse? Then I... I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. The images... they keep coming to my mind when I sleep no matter how hard I try to block them out. |
| 68765 I... I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. The images... they keep coming to my mind when I sleep no matter how hard I try to block them out. And the whispering is driving me mad! |
| 68766 I... I don't know if I *can* deal with this, <CHARNAME>. The images... they keep coming to my mind when I sleep no matter how hard I try to block them out. And the whispering is driving me mad! |
| 68767 And I've started to... develop powers. Powers that reach down into the taint within me and have nothing to do with my magic. |
| 68768 What sort of powers? |
| 68769 Minor spells... like what you developed after you left Candlekeep. Healing... curing poison, things like that. But that means... that means I'm following the same path as you! |
| 68770 Not as comical as you might think. Now he's taking complaints in a Waterdhavian festhall. *sigh* What do they say down there? "You got troubles? That and a gold piece will get you as far as Flippy hears." |
| 68771 That means that... that things could get worse. It means that I could become the Slayer... |
| 68772 Being the Slayer isn't that bad. |
| 68773 Everything will be all right, Imoen. |
| 68774 Quit your whining! |
| 68775 I'm sure it won't come to that. |
| 68776 Let's just see how it goes. We can help each other. |
| 68777 I... I hope you're right. The more I discover about this taint, the more I don't want it. I don't know how you ever dealt with it. |
| 68778 Whining, is it? Fine lot of help you are. Just leave me alone, then. |
| 68779 Not that bad?! I... I could kill someone! I could kill you! I... I just don't want this taint inside me. The more I learn about it, the more I want it out. Just... just leave me alone for a while. |
| 68780 I kill when I have to, Korgan. But I no longer take such pleasure in it as you do. |
| 68781 Bah! If that's yer new attitude, <CHARNAME> would have been better off leavin' you dead! |
| 68782 Aerie, ye wingless freak! Ye better spend some time practicing yer spells afore the next battle! I won't put up with any more of yer screw-ups! |
| 68783 Leave me alone, you brute! I'm in no mood for this today! |
| 68784 Aye, ye're never in the mood for nothin' but weepy sentimentality! Stop playin' adventurer and go back to yer cage in the circus! At least if people pay a copper or two to see yer gangly, misshapen form, ye might be worth somethin'! |
| 68785 I can look after myself, you vile little man! <CHARNAME> knows I can hold my own when the rough stuff starts! |
| 68786 Ye're nothin' but a scrawny, whiny, stump-backed, miscastin' mage wannabe! |
| 68787 I'm sick of your insults, you bastard! You're worth less than the feces of an unwashed kobold! You're stupid, bigoted, mean, small-minded, and small-membered! Now leave me alone, or I'll cast a spell of withering on that pathetic excuse for a manhood you're always scratching at between your legs! |
| 68788 Aye, that's what I been waitin' fer. You'll be blushin' fer a week when ye calm down and realize what ye've said, lassie! My work here is doneâ€â€har har har! |
| 68789 Gromnir Il-Khan |
| 68790 Gromnir Il-Khan |
| 68791 Your sideways glances begin to annoy me, bard. Say your piece or drag your eyes elsewhere! |
| 68792 Il-Khan Soldier |
| 68793 Il-Khan Soldier |
| 68794 Forgive this sparrow's curiosity, my fierce hound, but my eyes are drawn of their own accord. You have walked where every mortal must eventually go, though precious few return as you have. |
| 68795 And what of it? Do you think I learned some great secret there? The meaning of life, perhaps? Or some similar foolish notion? |
| 68796 Nay, I am far too busy living life to wonder at its meaning. But perchance you could share your experiences with me... it could make a most fascinating dramatic work. |
| 68797 My experiences? Suffering, tiefling... suffering you cannot fathom. Each level of pain worse than the first, each layer of torment bringing new tortures. |
| 68798 Beneath the suffering is a constant fire. An incessant, horrible burningâ€â€the rage and fury of Bhaal searing my immortal soul. No! I will not relive the agony of that inferno for your amusement! |
| 68799 Such passion in your suffering! Imagine a story in which you take me, the author, on a journey through these levels of the Abyss... it is the stuff of a literary masterpiece! Tell me more, Sarevok! |
| 68800 I've, um... been developing some more abilities. Bhaal abilities, like your own. I don't mean to; they just come... although I don't think they're very strong. |
| 68801 Ah, your decision is a great loss to literature. Should you change your mind, my armor-plated hawk, come and find me. I already have the perfect title for the work: Dalis's Inferno. |
| 68802 What kind of abilities? |
| 68803 If they're not strong, then they're of no use to me. |
| 68804 I don't need to hear about it right now, Imoen. |
| 68805 Don't worry. This will all be over soon. |
| 68806 Just some... minor spell-like powers. Although they're nothing I could do normally with my own magic... I think they're spells only priests could cast, usually. |
| 68807 Plus I've been going through some... physical changes as well. I notice I'm getting stronger and faster, for instance. But they aren't natural changes. |
| 68808 Oh. I thought maybe I meant more to you, <CHARNAME>, than just how useful I could be. My mistake. I'll... talk to someone else about it, I guess. |
| 68809 Well, sorry to *bother* you. You're the only person who can possibly understand what I'm going through, but I guess if it's too much trouble I'll just keep it to myself. |
| 68810 Don't get mad at me, I'm just busy. |
| 68811 Fine, fine. What kind of abilities are you talking about? |
| 68812 Good. Now get lost. |
| 68813 I hope so. I suppose this has to be resolved one way or another. Heh... I guess until then we're kinda stuck with one another, huh? |
| 68814 But these are good things, aren't they? |
| 68815 All that's important is that you're more useful now. |
| 68816 Don't worry, Imoen... this will all be over soon. |
| 68817 I... I suppose. Maybe. But they come with such bad dreams. And I have these thoughts all the time... they cloud my mind and make me angry. I don't like it. It's not me. |
| 68818 I have been resisting my urges far too long... I can hold off no longer. |
| 68819 *Fine.* Sometimes you're not much of a <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, you know that? Ya big jerk. |
| 68820 I guess I shouldn't whine so much, though. You've gone through all this and worse. I'll... try to keep up with ya, okay? With luck, this will be over soon anyway. |
| 68821 What on earth are you talking about, Korgan? |
| 68822 Why do I get the feeling I don't want to hear this? |
| 68823 Ye are a fine-lookin' <PRO_RACE>! Ach, ye have no beard to speak of, but I be a man of the world and able to look past such things. <CHARNAME>, yer beauty has overwhelmed me! |
| 68824 Il-Khan Battle Mage |
| 68825 Give it a rest, Korgan. |
| 68826 What is it, mage? You spare no opportunity to examine me, and I would know why. |
| 68827 Il-Khan Battle Mage |
| 68828 Sorry, axe-boy, you just aren't my type. |
| 68829 At last, Korgan! Now our feelings are out in the open, and our love can bloom! |
| 68830 I do not like walking with the enemy. I can barely stand keeping my allies so close, and yet here I am consorting with you! |
| 68831 Ah, so you are the great loner, ready to assault the world on your own. Foolish. |
| 68832 Is it? You were no more content as a lowly member of the team than I. |
| 68833 Ye cannae deny me yer love, <CHARNAME>! I be burstin' with desire! |
| 68834 You know... I've been thinking a little about the last fight we were in. |
| 68835 I... I... this has caught me a little off guard, Korgan. |
| 68836 Oh, Korgan! How long I've waited to hear you say that! |
| 68837 What about it? |
| 68838 I felt something come over me, <CHARNAME>. A... viciousness I've never felt before. I just wanted to tear someone's throat out with my bare hands. |
| 68839 Forget it, you disgusting little dwarf! I wouldn't be interested in you if you were the last biped on the face of Faerûn! |
| 68840 And when the fight was over, I was disappointed. Angry, even. For a moment, I found myself *this* close to snarling and jumping on your back. It was all a bit unsettling. |
| 68841 HAR! HAR! HAR! Relax, lassie! I be yankin' yer chain... so to speak. Ye should have seen yer face when I professed my "love"! HAR! HAR! HAR! |
| 68842 You get used to it. |
| 68843 Relax. You'll be fine. |
| 68844 You got me good, Korgan. You really had me going for a minute. |
| 68845 That's not good. The Slayer may be next. |
| 68846 *shudder* Yeesh. I don't know... I'm starting to forget what I used to be like. That's almost worse. |
| 68847 So you're saying I'm not attractive? Why not? Is there something wrong with me? |
| 68848 Korgan, you should think twice before toying with the emotions of the daughter of Bhaal. |
| 68849 Oh, but don't mind me. I guess I'll just have to handle it until all this ends. It's not like I'm sprouting four extra arms and wailing like a banshee, right? Heh heh. |
| 68850 You know... Binky, I've been considering this plan of yours that you had with the Iron Throne and all that. Interesting ideas... but flawed. |
| 68851 No... uh... no offense intended, lassie. Ye are indeed a fine-lookin' woman, and mighty powerful too. A true catch, if I say so myself. |
| 68852 Binky?! You had best not be addressing ME, gnome! |
| 68853 For instance, whose idea was it to put impurities into the iron? Sounds like the lame idea of some yes-man underling who didn't know when to quit. No doubt you had him flogged. |
| 68854 I rose to power by choosing whom I followed carefully and surrounding myself with beings of power. My tactic has not changed and will be fruitful in the end. |
| 68855 Kiser Jhaeri |
| 68856 I will not have my past commented upon by the likes of you, churl. Quiet yourself lest you experience worse than mere flogging. |
| 68857 Ach, ye know as well as I that it could never work out between us, lassie. It's that Bhaal taint of yours, ye understand. That immortal piece of yer soul. Ye be more than this dwarf could handle, and that's the truth. |
| 68858 Kiser Jhaeri |
| 68859 Speaking of a good flog, I'm brought to mind of poor Aunty Sara. She too had a master plan to take over the Sword Coast, you know. Although hers was considerably less dramatic and involved the use of some tasty recipes for turnip pie and some mind-altering herbs that Aunty Sara had bought from a rather disreputable Turmish mage. |
| 68860 Are you listening to *nothing* I say?! Desist or suffer the consequences! |
| 68861 Do you think she would listen to us? You can trust a Turmish mage about as far as you can kick him... and even then it's not a bad idea to carry a good thumping stick. But, alas, Aunty Sara just cackled in her most villain-like way and was determined to carry on with her plan to hypnotize the Sword Coast. Alas, she was completely undone by an over-the-top exposition she gave to a spy that she had captured... and who subsequently escaped, of course, before she could have him killed. It's what villains do, I understand, when they're not busy defiling iron. |
| 68862 Eh? You actually feel... uh... well, let's not be too hasty, lassie. |
| 68863 What's the matter, Korgan? Getting cold feet? |
| 68864 Wait... this is just a joke to you, isn't it? |
| 68865 I will not be mocked, gnome! This is your last warning! |
| 68866 Relax, Korgan. I knew you were joking the whole time. |
| 68867 Of course, they say that Duke Eltan had already had a bit of Aunty's pie and enjoyed it immensely. Rather than become hypnotized, he just became rather pleasantly obsessed with silken undergarments. This, of course, led to the first Great Underwear Shortage. It's also known as the Three-Year Wedgie Drought, but that's another story completely. |
| 68868 Aye, 'twas but a jest. But ye turned the tables on me, <CHARNAME>. Ye got me good. |
| 68869 AUUUUGHHH! How maddening! How you can put up with such impudence, <CHARNAME>?! |
| 68870 I've been thinking, gnome... about a certain trading deal my stepfather made several years ago. |
| 68871 By the grace of Shar, what is that foul stench? *gag* Korgan, could you not have the decency to stand downwind of me? |
| 68872 Well, I suppose I should be grateful to be included. I look forward to being a part of your next defeat. |
| 68873 Your stepfather, eh? Was he a megalomaniac as well? Must have been quite a merchant. Was he into crate building, perchance? Everywhere I look, I see crates... business must be lucrative. |
| 68874 You remind me of a younger me, mage, before I was slaughtered and sent to the pits of Hell. Think on that before you burn your bridges. |
| 68875 My stepfather was with the Iron Throne. He negotiated once for a very lucrative land deal with a gnome named Count Turnipsome, as I recall. |
| 68876 Toss your idle threats elsewhere, hargluk. I tolerate your presence for the same reason my kin tolerate your kind in the Underdark... you are a useful servant. But servants are easy to replace. |
| 68877 I believe, Viconia, that I have gained a greater respect for your, ah... intensity through the course of our journeys. |
| 68878 And I, Edwin, have grown no more appreciative of the sound of your voice since the day I first encountered its nasal whine. |
| 68879 Ah, yes. I know the fellow. Handsome young gnome, apple of his mother's eye. Wealthy, debonaire, beloved by all. Your stepfather was a fortunate man to have met him. |
| 68880 I wouldn't say the same. The land the count sold him turned out to be useless swampland overrun by umber hulks and bugbears. My stepfather was almost ejected from the Iron Throne as a result. |
| 68881 Now that sounds like quite a tragedy. Tsk. There are some mighty crooked people out there. Gnomes, even. Just terrible. |
| 68882 I swore that I would take instant vengeance on that gnome if I ever found him. |
| 68883 Eh... |
| 68884 Well, it's, ummm... it's a good thing for him you never have, hm? |
| 68885 Walk away, Edwin, I am in no mood for you. |
| 68886 No doubt. I've been saving some rather excruciating torture techniques for the occasion. |
| 68887 Uhhh... yes, yes. I see. (Ahem!) I'll just go stand over by <CHARNAME> for a while. Nothing personal, I just felt the wind change. |
| 68888 It's been a grand fight, eh, mage? Can you better cap a life than with blood betwixt the toes and the flames o' Hell itself? Ha ha! |
| 68889 The only time I stand downwind of a dark elf is when I'm looking to add to my collection of drow ears! But dannae worry, ye dark witch, yer time will come. |
| 68890 Would someone get this bile-soaked freak away from me? |
| 68891 What? No stomach for the cleavings of me axe? |
| 68892 Ye think yer healin' powers make ye indispensable, drow? I wonder, can ye raise yerself from the dead if I slit yer dusky throat? |
| 68893 I do not fault the need for frontline offense, but I fail to see why you find it necessary to sink a blade to your elbows. |
| 68894 Bah! Mages! Ye'll blast away from your mother's window but catch yer scatter-willys at the thought of blood. It's called follow-through! Feh! |
| 68895 And why have you not already done so, Korgan? Like all your kind, you lack the courage to act when you fear the consequences of failure. That is why the drow use your kin as slaves. |
| 68896 Captain Samand |
| 68897 Captain Samand |
| 68898 This isn't over, wench! |
| 68899 Ah... the wind has shifted. I now have no reason to continue this discussion, dwarf. |
| 68900 Yes, Korgan... it is. |
| 68901 Edwin! You continue to be the most dour of companions. I worry for your humor. |
| 68902 You shall see a great improvement in my disposition when I have left this petty business behind. |
| 68903 Ah, great and future plans, but is not tomorrow uncertain? Could not the end of all just as likely occur today as in a millennium? |
| 68904 You assume my death to be inevitable, but perhaps I think beyond those terms. Mortality seems escapable by others, so why not me? |
| 68905 Edwin, do you remember the name of the ancient Netherese god of the sea? |
| 68906 Nalia, my dear, you've been positively morose as of late. Probably from studying all those scrolls. You remind me of Golodon... prior to his addiction to poppy seed muffins, of course. |
| 68907 I be needin' to speak to ye about a matter of grave importance. |
| 68908 Jan, I'm really not in the mood for any silliness. We're here for a purpose. |
| 68909 Okay, Korgan. What's on your mind? |
| 68910 Exactly! And I've been recording <CHARNAME>'s adventures in a suitably epic story. Ending's not clear, but the rest is dynamo. Maybe you can help me come up with a title? |
| 68911 Eh... no. |
| 68912 Everything ends, Edwin. Everything dies. The dust of a god looks much the same as yours and mine will. |
| 68913 *sigh* Why not just call it "The Adventures of <CHARNAME>" or something like that? I'm no writer, Jan. I probably can't help you. |
| 68914 Nonsense! You just need the proper inspiration. Hmm... maybe "The Bhaal Cabal"? How about "Fall of the Bhaal Cabal"? |
| 68915 Yes, fine. Use that. |
| 68916 How about "Fall of the Bhaal Cabal Hall"? Oo! I know! "Fall of All the Bhaal Cabal from the Tall Wall of the Hall"! Yes! Yes, perfect! |
| 68917 *giggle* You're incorrigible, Jan. |
| 68918 Now *there's* the smile I like to see! |
| 68919 Now's not a really good time, Korgan. |
| 68920 For a bard, I doubt you are much fun at parties. |
| 68921 Aye, as ye wish, <CHARNAME>. I'll leave ye alone. |
| 68922 Yer blood is bringin' ye to a great destiny, <CHARNAME>. Have ye given much thought of how to use yer power once ye get it? |
| 68923 No one seems to know for sure what my destiny is. |
| 68924 I've given it some thought, Korgan. Why do you ask? |
| 68925 Mirnielle Santele |
| 68926 Mirnielle Santele |
| 68927 I've been with ye a long time, <CHARNAME>... and I'll be around at the end to reap the rewards when you achieve yer destiny. Ye do plan on rewardin' those who stood by ye, right? |
| 68928 My companions shall share in my good fortune... if that is what is in store for me. |
| 68929 As long as you remain useful, I'll let you nibble at the crumbs from my divine table. |
| 68930 Ardic Santele |
| 68931 Aye, and so it should be. But more specifically, have ye given thought to what you will demand of yer followers? Living sacrifices are always good... blood and sufferin' and screamin' all around! |
| 68932 Ardic Santele |
| 68933 That's horrible! I would never allow such horrors in my name! |
| 68934 Sacrifices... hmmm... my power would demand nothing less. |
| 68935 And slaves... have ye given much thought to slaves, <CHARNAME>? They'll do yer biddin both in the bedroom and out. |
| 68936 Mateo |
| 68937 Human bondage is an affront to justice! I will never condone slavery! |
| 68938 Mateo |
| 68939 Slaves... I like your thinking, Korgan. |
| 68940 What about the wealth, <CHARNAME>? Can ye even imagine the wealth? Religion be a true cash cow. Tithes, donations, offerings... the gold will come in far faster than ye can count! |
| 68941 Carras |
| 68942 Monk |
| 68943 Korgan, your greed and selfishness appalls me! |
| 68944 Sacrifices, wealth, slaves... I will surround myself with the trappings of power! |
| 68945 Ach... just so long as ye don't forget yer friends when ye get to the top, <CHARNAME>. Just so long as ye remember yer good buddy Korgan. |
| 68946 Saradush Jailer |
| 68947 Saradush Jailer |
| 68948 Ask, my pretty lark, and I shall do my best to satisfy your burning curiosity. |
| 68949 Jan. While I would be tempted to let the situation play itself out, perhaps it is best if I warn you now. |
| 68951 Yes, my dusky little margarita? What warning would that be? |
| 68952 You have a venomous spider on your neck. A lovely creature, known to cause an agonizing, bloodcurdling death within moments of injecting its nerve poison. |
| 68953 Ah, that is truly a question for the ages and the sages. Perhaps tragedy is the noblest of dramatic forms, and as such demands a noble subject? |
| 68955 You know, this reminds me of the time Uncle Scratchy laid me flat with the handle of a horseman's flail. "Look behind you!" he says. "Why? What's behind me?" I say. "A Tiberian Dung Beetle!" he cries, looking frantic. So of course I scream in terror and look behind me... and lost a bag of the most scrumptious turnips ever to come out of Scornubel. Ma Jansen was furious, and the lump was more painful than six weeks with the Calishite itch. |
| 68956 Haer'Dalis, you are a playwright... maybe you can answer something for me. |
| 68957 Why is it that so many of the great tragedies have royalty as their central characters, but the great comedies focus on the common people? |
| 68958 Out with it, gnome! I see that you are fabricating another of your fanciful lies as you look at me! |
| 68959 Maybe it's because most playwrights are common folk, at least in the class structure sense. Maybe they resent the abuses of the rich and powerful and see their art as a way to symbolically destroy the upper class. |
| 68960 Oh, look. There it goes down the back of your shirt. |
| 68961 Your explanation lacks the soaring wings of poetry, Nalia, dear. It is far too rooted in the troubles of the real world. The stage is our escape from mundane life. |
| 68962 Prison Spirit |
| 68963 And then there was that time I took a drow at his word. "Bifflechips," says I, "you had better be telling the truth." And, of course, he swore up and down that he was. Needless to say, not four weeks later, I was stewing in the lower intestines of a giant cave wyrm without even so much as a torch or a sense of irony. I would have been a goner if gnomes weren't well known for causing severe bouts of intestinal gas. |
| 68964 Prison Spirit |
| 68965 But shouldn't art be more than an escape? Can it not also be an instrument of social and political change? Isn't that more valuable than mere escapism? |
| 68966 Nalia, escapism has its placeâ€â€as does dramatic social commentary. But attempting to determine their relative worth is an argument that will last far beyond our own lifetimes. |
| 68967 I wouldn't squirm about so much, you foolish jaluk. You're likely to anger it, and I have no spells that can counteract its particular poison. |
| 68968 True enough, I suppose. Very well, we shall leave this conversation for now. Just as well... we are lagging behind the others. |
| 68969 Now, if I had a copper for every time Eh, wait a second. I feel something... who's behind me? What *is* that back there? |
| 68970 Did I not try to tell you? No doubt it is sinking its fangs into your gamey flesh as we speak. |
| 68971 What? But Iâ€â€ouch! AHHHH! AHHHH, NOOOO! I'M TOO YOUNG A GNOME TO DIE! AHHHHH! HELP ME, SOMEONE! AN ANTIDOTE, AN ANTIDOTE! PAIN GIVES ME GAS! AHHHH! |
| 68972 I DON"T WANT TOâ€â€eh? Wait a minute, that's a fly. A dead fly. You mean I ripped off my own shirt for nothing? |
| 68973 Ha ha! Sometimes life has its little rewards. Even for the drow. |
| 68974 You're a cruel, cruel woman, Viconia. Garl help me, but I am so turned on right now. |
| 68975 All right, now I'm leaving. |
| 68976 Oh, don't get all huffy. It's just that at this angle you look a lot like my Uncle Ager of the Tomes. |
| 68977 Ah, and I suppose he had a comical disfigurement, or his mind fell a few coppers short of a silver, or that his tremendous odor kept the stars afloat, or some other thinly disguised failing told ONLY to demean me in the eyes of others! |
| 68978 Eh, no, he was a mage. Tell me, Edwin, are you having trouble at home? |
| 68979 *sigh* Go away, gnome. Go away. |
| 68980 I doubt you'll care much for anything I have to say, Sarevok... but have you considered this new life of yours to be a second chance of sorts? |
| 68981 What's that in your gaze, Edwin? You have something to say? |
| 68982 It is nothing. I was just musing on the role of heritage in determining vocation. |
| 68983 You are right, paladin. I care not a whit for anything you have to say. |
| 68984 Spit your bile in my direction if you must, but consider that it was your own machinations which caused your first death. Fail to learn from that, and you will die again with as little meaning. |
| 68985 I see. It is your assumption that since my family tree has had many mages, I should have been one as well. Well, I defy that logic each and every day. |
| 68986 Death has no meaning, fool. It was simple chance, not judgment by any god. I could just as easily have been victorious in another circumstance. |
| 68987 And you certainly make a fine whatever-you-are, but it is a shame. Even your casual movements suggest some training as a child... |
| 68988 Then you learned nothing in death? What a short, precious thing life is? The ultimate uselessness of grasping for things like wealth and power? How did they serve you in the Abyss, Sarevok? |
| 68989 My will and my desire served me well in the Abyss. Nothing else. |
| 68990 I have known many good, honest men with a powerful will. And I know they will not be in the Abyss when they perish. |
| 68991 I... could care less if I return to the Abyss or not, old fool. Once I am dead, I am dead and nothing matters. |
| 68992 I am old, but I am no fool. I don't believe you really believe that. |
| 68993 I am no mage! You... you are mistaken in your observations. |
| 68994 Yes. Yes, of course I am. |
| 68995 I... begone, old man. Make your pious speeches for those who may still be redeemed. It is far too late for me. |
| 68996 Errard |
| 68997 Errard |
| 68998 Keldorn, tell meâ€â€you've served in the Order for a very long time. Do you still truly believe that what they do is relevant? That it's worthwhile? |
| 68999 Of course I believe that is the case. I could not serve if I lacked the faith that that was so. Why do you ask such a thing? |
| 69000 Haer'Dalis, are you laughing at Boo and I? You are smiling after many of our battles. |
| 69001 It... just seems so pointless to me. I don't mean to offend, but it seems no matter how much evil gets vanquished, there is still so much horror in the world. It doesn't get better. |
| 69002 *chuckle* Oh, my dear Minsc, you and Boo are wonderful, make no mistake. So chaotic, so unpredictable. Such a fist in the eye of sense and reason. |
| 69003 Aye. Sometimes it is enough to make the soul weary, child, just to think of it. |
| 69004 And some of the worst acts are committed by those people who aren't even considered evil. Nobles and clergy, for instance... gross injustices against people who don't even know any better. |
| 69005 True. The Order can only do what it can, Nalia. We try. And perhaps the fact that we try and do not give up is just as important as the good we do accomplish. |
| 69006 Uh... but mostly evil, right? |
| 69007 I... I suppose. It just seems hopeless sometimes. Like nothing will ever change. |
| 69008 'Tis only the impatience of youth, Nalia. Things will change in time. But only if truly good folk such as yourself do not despair and give up completely. The world needs your courage. |
| 69009 Th-thank you, Keldorn. I think I needed to hear that. |
| 69010 HA! Yes, Minsc, mostly a fist in the eyes of evil. Do not let me change a thing you do. |
| 69011 Haer'Dalis! Must you insist on plucking away at that blasted instrument? |
| 69012 Boo, I think this bard is a little off in the head, no? |
| 69013 I must keep it in tune, good sir, lest I strike a sour note with my listeners. |
| 69014 Every time you open your mouth, you strike a sour note with me, bard. |
| 69015 A thrust of wit from the dark hawk's rapier! I had not thought it in you, dear Valygar. Have you been practicing your verbal exchanges with the trees? Alas, they do not strike back. |
| 69016 Cease your barking, bard, and leave me alone. |
| 69017 "Bark"? "Leave"? Yet more jests, building on my tree remark? Or just lucky puns, like wisdom tumbling from the lips of a fool? |
| 69018 Goodman Valygar, I must admit something to you. The fact that we continue our travels together has been nothing short of a joy for me. |
| 69019 It took you long enough to grasp the root of my remarks. |
| 69020 Oh mercy, great punsman, I beg thee! Your life of solitude has done nothing to dull the stinging points of your stabbing words. I shall retire to a safe distance and resume my plucking beyond your earshot. |
| 69021 I gotta admit, Mazzy, that being your squire has been far more pleasant than I thought it'd be. I assumed I was well versed in the fighting arts... but you've taught me a thing or two. |
| 69022 Did you assume that such would not be the case? Simply because I am a halfling? |
| 69023 Certainly not. Vanity, more like. And you needn't be defensive with me. I've often wished I were shorter, after all. |
| 69024 Oh? This is a new one. |
| 69025 It's true. Part of my profession involves the use of stealth in the wilderness, and I've felt like nothing more than a giant, clumsy lummox compared to some of the graceful halflings in my old unit. |
| 69026 Melissan |
| 69027 Melissan |
| 69028 Ha ha! That is good to hear. But a clumsy lummox you are not, Valygar. Your skills are impressive. There's not a ranger in Trademeet who could perform half so well. |
| 69029 Now you flatter me. I, ah... I hope you do know that I have developed an... attachment to <CHARNAME>, Mazzy. I... wouldn't want to hurt you, after all... |
| 69030 Now you flatter me. Careful, or we'll make the others gag. |
| 69031 Truly spoken, my squire. Fair enough, then... let's get moving. |
| 69032 Ah, my heart still belongs to my poor Patrick, Valygar. But I am grateful that you would think enough of me to spare my feelings. Thank you. I wish you and <CHARNAME> all the best. |
| 69033 That means a lot to me, Mazzy. Let's get back to the others before they miss us, shall we? |
| 69034 Thank you, Haer'Dalis. That is all I asked in the first place. |
| 69035 Mazzy? You and I are close friends, right? So, I, um... I hope you won't take this question the wrong way... |
| 69036 Huh. To begin with a warning can't be good... but I trust you, Valygar. Ask your question. |
| 69037 I've seen how you launch yourself into battle. Headlong, heedless of the danger to yourself, and putting all others before your own safety. It's commendable, Mazzy, of course, but... |
| 69038 But what? I should think the actions you describe to be commendable. |
| 69039 They are, they are. Heroic, even. But it strikes me sometimes that you are... overcompensating a little? That you are a little embarrassed, even... to be a halfling. |
| 69040 What? How... how *dare* you |
| 69041 You know me, Mazzy. I don't say things idly. But if you say it is none of my business, I'll mention it no more. |
| 69042 There... *may* be some merit to what you say, Valygar. It has not always been easy to travel in human lands as I am. There are so many preconceptions of my kind. I find it all very offensive. |
| 69043 I feel your steely gaze upon my neck, Valygar. Does my presence still anger you so much? |
| 69044 And I just wanted to say that you are the most valiant knight I have ever known, human or otherwise. I think it's important that you know that. |
| 69045 Words like that mean... much coming from one I respect. Thank you, Valygar. But... let's move on before the others wonder what has happened to us. |
| 69046 I would be lying if I said I was not wary around you, Nalia. You have become far greater in the arcane arts than all but a handful of mages who have walked the realms. |
| 69047 Saradush Man |
| 69049 I thought you had learned to set your unfounded prejudices against mages aside, Valygar. I am sorry to see I was wrong. |
| 69050 I have learned to accept that magic may be used for both good and evil, Nalia. But I have not forsaken my belief that such power can corrupt if a mage is not constantly on guard. |
| 69051 Saradush Woman |
| 69052 I know who and what I am, Valygar. Magic cannot change that. And I refuse to spend my entire life "constantly on guard" against this corruption you feel is so inevitable. |
| 69054 That is why I am wary. I must maintain a vigil against the corruption that you refuse to acknowledge as even possible. |
| 69055 And if you see signs of this corruption in me? What then, Valygar? |
| 69056 We must both pray it never comes to that. I will leave you be, Nalia. But my eyes are ever watching. |
| 69057 Bhaalspawn |
| 69058 Bhaal Spawn |
| 69059 Ahh, Mazzy. We've traveled together, you an' I, fer such a length o' time. Ye know it's just a matter of time before we end up together, aye? |
| 69060 What is that I smell? A burning rage? Hatred barely controlled? Jaheira, your eyes threaten to cut out my heart as I stand. |
| 69061 Nay, Sarevok... I'm not troubled by your presence. Should I be? |
| 69062 Don't be ridiculous! I know of no such thing. |
| 69063 Ye may deny it, lass, but I see the fire burnin' in yer eyes. Ahhh, it shall be a glorious thing indeed when ye gives into yer heart. |
| 69064 The only thing in my heart, Korgan, is disgust. Disgust at your lack of manners, your lack of civility, and yes, your lack of basic decency. You are nothing like Patrick. |
| 69065 Eh? An' this be a bad thing? Who is this Patrick o' yers? |
| 69066 I will not speak of him to you, Korgan, except to say that he was decent and good in all the ways that you are not. He died nobly fighting the Shade Lord, and I shall honor him forever in my heart. |
| 69067 Walk where you will. My fight with you is over. |
| 69068 Ach! I cannae be expected t' compete against a ghost, lass! |
| 69069 Indeed you cannot. And I do not expect you to. |
| 69070 Is it? I had hoped my last bid for power would have had a more enduring impact. The memories of the victims are all that remain of it. |
| 69071 He were a lucky man then, Mazzy, to have such a loyal lass as ye. |
| 69072 He... I... thank you, Korgan. I miss him. Now let us speak no more of this. |
| 69073 You are nothing to me. You are a phantom, a shadow of an evil already faded. I will remember your defeat and nothing more. |
| 69074 Korgan? While I may rue the fact that I even brought the subject up, I feel compelled to ask you something. |
| 69075 Valygar, you have not yet condemned my presence. Is not my very existence here an affront to you? |
| 69076 I am no longer part of the natural order. I was resurrected with powerful magics, which you so obviously despise. My... unnatural... existence does not repel you? You do not see me as an abomination? |
| 69077 Aha! I knew ye'd give in to yer heart sooner or later! So, what's it to be, lass? A kiss an' a tickle now or later? |
| 69078 You see? This is exactly it! Besides the fact that I have rebuffed every advance, you yet live under this delusion? Why, Korgan? Why do you even bother? |
| 69079 That... is true. Your words surprise me, Valygar. But I thank you for them. |
| 69080 I bother because ye're a sweet thing, lass. Ye're a halfling of a like I've ne'er seen before, an' I kin afford to be persistent. |
| 69081 Persistence is irrelevant in this case, Korgan. Please stop. It makes me very uncomfortable. |
| 69082 I see you as a warrior, Sarevok. You may have a cruel and violent streak, but you are not alone in that fault. You do not use foul magic; you wield true steel as do I. We are brothers in arms, Sarevok. |
| 69083 My... defeat. Of course, I understand. I am nothing because if I AM something, then you failed, didn't you? You worry that the avenged will not sleep if their tormentor has returned. |
| 69084 'Twas ye who brought th' subject up, Mazzy. There be truth in that, I think. |
| 69085 Well, now I do regret it after all. |
| 69086 Your existence is an insult to Gorion and every life you took, so I deny you, just as nature's grand cycle has denied you and spat you back upon the surface. |
| 69087 So... I suppose a tickle be out of th' question then, aye? |
| 69088 You are a disgusting brute. Leave me be. |
| 69089 Pyrgam Aleson |
| 69090 Pyrgam Aleson |
| 69091 Sarevok, may I share a whispered word with you? |
| 69092 Yes, drow? What is it you want? |
| 69093 I miss the customs of my homeland, like the breaking in of new pleasure slaves. The largest and strongest were the hardest to break, but they were the most rewarding. Sarevok, I find your great size... intriguing. |
| 69094 Were you to break me, Viconia, you might find nothing but the chill emptiness of the grave within. |
| 69095 That does not repulse me as you might imagine. We drow are ever eager to broaden our... experiences. |
| 69096 I orchestrated a war to slaughter thousands. I have felt the cold embrace of death. I have witnessed the horrors of the Abyss. But you, Viconia... you scare me. |
| 69097 I've a small question for ye, lass, if ye'll be so kind not t' run off on me this time. |
| 69098 *sigh* I'll promise not to run, Korgan, but if this is just another base attempt at flattery... |
| 69099 Nay, nay, lass. It be just a small question. |
| 69100 Then ask. |
| 69101 I need to know, Mazzy. If it were not for this Patrick fellow ye mentioned... if ye did nae know th' man at all... would I even have a chance with ye? |
| 69102 Korgan, this is outrageous! Of all the |
| 69103 I be completely serious! I just have t' know! Just answer th' bloody question! |
| 69104 Harsh words, nature's warrior. You cut to my soul raising questions of who or what I am, and I have no answer... But I can *live* with that. |
| 69105 *sigh* Well... if it will assuage your bruised ego. If Patrick did not exist, and had not died nobly by my side... |
| 69106 Aye? Aye? |
| 69107 And if you weren't a cruel bastard and a complete oaf with barely enough redeeming qualities to count on one hand... |
| 69108 Aye? Yes? |
| 69109 Well, then... perhaps. I might give you a chance. A small one. |
| 69110 YES! A-HA! She love me, she does! The bloody dwarf hasn't lost it! The girl be MINE! |
| 69111 But... I just... *groan* Oh, never mind. I've developed a bad headache suddenly... |
| 69112 What is it, fiend? Why do you continue to stare at me? Out with it! |
| 69113 Sister Farielle |
| 69114 Sister Farielle |
| 69115 Do not presume to order me about, small one. A fighter's skill you may have, but it is still contained within the form of nothing but a mouse. |
| 69116 You *exist*; you do not *live*. You will miss the Great Mother's embrace in time. You are nothing. |
| 69117 Insult me if you wish, I have no fear of you. |
| 69118 You would have plenty to fear if you were not one of <CHARNAME>'s companions. I would crush you like the insect you are. |
| 69119 I have no fear of that either, even were it such a simple task. Which it would not be. |
| 69120 I suppose you claim you have no fear of death? I have encountered many who have made such a claim. All entered the beyond pleading like old women for their worthless lives. |
| 69121 Only the evil truly fear death. They spend their lives collecting power over others, clawing for anything they can get that is not theirs. But when evil dies, there is nothing left for them but their hate. |
| 69122 Bah! And what awaits you at your death, little paladin? An eternal reward by your favorite deity? |
| 69123 Peace. The peace of a clear conscience and a life well lived. |
| 69124 I have never known peace. I doubt I would even want such a useless thing. |
| 69125 Then for your sake, Sarevok, I hope all the more that you one day find it. |
| 69126 Cowards everywhere I turn! If you find your courage, Sarevok, seek me out. |
| 69127 Well, little Nalia, it would seem you have grown quite accustomed to the power you now wield. |
| 69128 Ow! What was that for, Mazzy? Why did you bump me? |
| 69129 Why do you bring this up now, Jaheira? You have that tone in your voice again. |
| 69130 To remind you to keep your eyes on the road ahead. You were far away from here, Nalia, and in our current life, that can mean death in an instant. |
| 69131 "That" tone? I do not understand what you mean. |
| 69132 Yes, you do. It's that "time for an unnecessary lecture" tone that means you are about to caution me on the use of the power I have earned. |
| 69133 I was *not* daydreaming, Mazzy. I was considering several spell incantations... spells which might serve to save you someday, I might add. |
| 69134 I see. And what do you think the outcome of such a conversation would be? |
| 69135 Well, I believe that I would tell you I have found my true calling, that you should probably butt out, and that I would really prefer you to refrain from calling me "little Nalia." |
| 69136 I didn't say you were daydreaming. But there is little difference. |
| 69137 There is *plenty* of difference. I am no longer the dreamy, pathetic girl that could barely put together a cantrip. I'm an archmage! |
| 69138 You needn't prove anything to me, Nalia. You were never pathetic, and I know how powerful you are now. |
| 69139 It takes a lot of work! I have to be careful with spells of this magnitude! |
| 69140 I know. But do you know, Nalia, that you aren't responsible for the death of your father? Just because you weren't powerful enough then? |
| 69141 I... I *wish*... |
| 69142 So do I. But there's nothing to be done. I am a much greater warrior now... I might have saved Patrick had I been greater then. But it wasn't to be. |
| 69143 Determined to do good works no matter what the world thinks, is that the gist of it? |
| 69144 Yes, that would be the gist of it. |
| 69145 Learn to reconcile that. Keep your eyes on what lies ahead... it's the only way to find peace with yourself. |
| 69146 I suppose you're right. You're a good friend, Mazzy. |
| 69147 Then I agree that the lecture would be unnecessary. I need say nothing. |
| 69148 You... what? Thank you, Jaheira. |
| 69149 Militia Guard |
| 69150 Militia Guard |
| 69151 Aerie? Do you remember anything about your home? |
| 69152 Faenya-Dail? A... a little bit. I remember my mother, mostly. I remember missing it so much in the circus that my heart ached. |
| 69153 I remember that the avariel used to make these open-aired buildings with great columns of marble. There were sculptures of glass that would burst with colors when the sun broke from the clouds. |
| 69154 Do you ever intend to go back there? |
| 69155 That... that's a cruel thing to ask. How could I? |
| 69156 There's no reason you couldn't, Aerie. You're a powerful mage and cleric both. Finding it would be no trouble now, and you deserve their respect, wings or no wings. |
| 69157 It's not like that, Nalia. The avariel... they would never accept me like this. I wouldn't be one of them. |
| 69158 You could make them accept you. It isn't right. You've been through so much... |
| 69159 I... wouldn't want to make them do anything. I don't belong there anymore. I belong down here, as I am... accepting that was far harder. |
| 69160 I wouldn't feel the same way... but then, it's not my home. As long as you're happy, Aerie. |
| 69161 Keldorn? You look pensive. Are you well? |
| 69162 I am well enough, Jaheira, though our circumstance gives me reason to pause. |
| 69163 Hmm. I have been thinking as well. It is hard to draw a line in the sand and say, "This side represents balance; this other side does not." |
| 69164 Balance? Would that balance were the worst of our worries. |
| 69165 Ah. Having trouble with the black and white aspects? |
| 69166 That would be an understatement. I am quite certain of what evil lies ahead, but I am finding problems with identifying the "good" path around it. |
| 69167 I'm not sure what to say. We do what we can when the opportunity presents itself. |
| 69168 That would be all that can be asked. Torm guide us; we need his wisdom. |
| 69169 Keep your eyes off me, Sarevok. I don't know what you are, but I don't want you near me. |
| 69170 Ahh... So the sorceress can sense the difference in me, can she? Do I alarm you, girl? |
| 69171 I know that you're not truly alive, and not undead. You're flesh, but not truly alive no matter what <CHARNAME> did to you. So keep away. |
| 69172 You know, Jaheira, in all our travels, your smile has eluded me. |
| 69173 You show curiosity in every other matter related to magic, and yet I make you nervous? Are you sure it is for the reasons you think? |
| 69174 Oh, come now. Certainly I reserve my emotions for matters of great import, but... |
| 69175 That is the thing. Perhaps I have moved you on occasion, but any fleeting glimmer of a smile is gone before it properly lights the room. |
| 69176 What do you mean? |
| 69177 Well, have you a relative that might remedy the situation? |
| 69178 Eh, perhaps illustrating the horror of unappreciated storytelling? Well... I had an Uncle Richard that tried to bring nude theater to a festival in Waterdeep... |
| 69179 I mean that, to you, I am evil. I am powerful and forceful and authoritative... and you fear these qualities within yourself. |
| 69180 That's not true! I... I'm a good person! |
| 69181 And where has it gotten you? Have you vanquished evil yet? What gets results better, from all that you've seen? |
| 69182 It... it isn't like that. Results aren't everything. |
| 69183 Hm. Perhaps you are right, girl. But the doubt you show tells me you should watch yourself carefully. I've known many who started as you did... and died as I did. |
| 69184 You mouth words you don't understand. Once you get over this delusion, you shall see things as I do, girl. As they truly are. It is called "reality." |
| 69185 You can't fool me. I know what it's called, and I know where your path ends! So stop trying to play mind games with me! |
| 69186 As you wish. You shall see the truth soon enough. |
| 69187 What is this I see? A wingless bird. How fitting that you should flop along with this group, eager to prove your worth. |
| 69188 I have already proven my worth. To everyone as well as myself. |
| 69189 Brave words. But I think you mouth platitudes you can't even understand. |
| 69190 It... it doesn't matter what you think. I am no frightened elf within the circus anymore. I've learned enough so that evil like yours makes me only feel pity. |
| 69191 Pity, is it? You should feel fear instead, girl. Were <CHARNAME> not your companion and protector, you would be nothing before me. |
| 69192 Think what you like. It is you who are nothing before my god and before my faith. Baervan and Aerdrie Faenya would both sweep you as if you were dust before them. |
| 69193 They protect me. But seeing as even <CHARNAME> was once enough to defeat you, and that was a long time ago, you shouldn't go asking for more than you can handle. |
| 69194 Bah! They come at your beck and call to protect your miserable life, do they? |
| 69195 Keep thinking that, girl. You haven't a clue what true evil is. |
| 69196 I am curious over something, Imoen. Your sibling saved you from imprisonment and restored your soul. Yet for all this, you have never shown proper gratitude. Why is that? |
| 69197 Proper gratitude? I'd hate to think what your idea of proper gratitude would be, Viconia. |
| 69198 You owe <CHARNAME> your entire being. You should, at the very least, act as <PRO_HISHER> personal slave. Cater to <PRO_HISHER> every whim. |
| 69199 <CHARNAME> is my half-<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, you know! I owe <PRO_HIMHER> my life, but let's not take it that far! |
| 69200 Your common parent is a god. This hardly counts towards any sort of common genetic bond, and it's even less of a reason to shirk what you owe <CHARNAME>. |
| 69201 <CHARNAME> and I grew up together. I love <PRO_HIMHER> just as I loved Gorion. <CHARNAME> might feel differently, I don't know... but it doesn't matter. |
| 69202 Come what may, no matter how bad things get or whatever <CHARNAME> does, I'll stick by <PRO_HISHER> side. I would die for <PRO_HIMHER>, Viconia. I would give up the soul that <PRO_HESHE> saved for <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 69203 Well, that would be a start. |
| 69204 What about you, Viconia? How many times has <CHARNAME> saved *your* life? Would you do the same for <PRO_HIMHER>? Would you put *your* life on the line? |
| 69205 I... I would. I love <PRO_HIMHER>, and you know this weakness of mine exists. Perhaps it is good that we have... something... in common, no? But enough of your mewling... let us be off. |
| 69206 I... that was not the question, elg'caress. I support <CHARNAME> and always have, and I will not have you question me. Let us be off. |
| 69207 Exposure is usually good for an actor's career, but even so, a cold reception for the play caused the cast to shrink steadily. Blackballed, my uncle tried to recruit from the thieves' guild, but they wouldn't let their nick-ers go. |
| 69208 Ah... |
| 69209 Not... one of your best. *snicker* |
| 69210 "Just bare with me," he would say, but they were afraid of being stripped of their dignity. He gave up the lead to attract new members, and eventually the production's genius was uncovered, even with his part left out. |
| 69211 Keep trying? |
| 69212 They can't all take the brass ring. |
| 69213 I will if you will, my dear. |
| 69214 Verdict? |
| 69215 I find it surprising we have so little to say to one another, Valygar. |
| 69216 I have little to say to anyone, usually, and that is by my design. |
| 69217 I understand. Still, we share much as druid and ranger. |
| 69218 Yes, we share misconceptions and stereotypes. You know as well as I that our outlooks differ fundamentally. |
| 69219 Perhaps. As a druid, any encroachment of civilization on the wild places is a loss to be mourned. |
| 69220 I have seen communities destroyed because they did not fit the "balance" of a marsh or woodland. |
| 69221 Destroyed? |
| 69222 "Encouraged" to relocate, but these are just different words for the same thing. |
| 69223 I'm sure it was a dire circumstance. |
| 69224 Someone thought it was. Responsible use was apparently not an option. I bear you no ill will, Jaheira, but druidic "big-picture balance" can spawn very intimate hardships. |
| 69225 Well, we shall have to agree to disagree. |
| 69226 As you see fit. |
| 69227 Minsc, I wanted to take a moment to say something to you. |
| 69228 Boo and I always are having time to speak with our friends. Yes, no, Boo? |
| 69229 Eh, yes. Well, I just wanted to say that your unwavering fight for goodness has been a great influence on me. |
| 69230 And now you would like a hamster. |
| 69231 What? |
| 69232 Just a guess. |
| 69233 Well, no, I just wanted you to know that I'm thankful for your example... perhaps excluding the hamster part of it. |
| 69234 As you wish, but I couldn't imagine a Minsc without a Boo. We are two peas in a pool, two fists in a face, two feet on the floor, and too much for most villainy. |
| 69235 Sarevok, have you had the opportunity to consider my earlier offer? Untold pleasures await you if you would but submit to me. |
| 69236 I have considered it, Viconia. And I must reject you and your... temptations. |
| 69237 When Bhaal held sway over my soul, I reveled in the bloody carnage I wrought. But my will was not my own. As captivating as your dominance might be, Viconia, I will not surrender my being to the whims of another again... be they god or drow. |
| 69238 A pity your manhood is so lacking. I am a cruel mistress, but my slaves always found their subjugation to be most satisfying to their own physical desires as well. |
| 69239 Then you are of no further interest to me, rivvil... though I suspect your dreams will be filled with dark imaginings of the hedonistic pleasures you have denied yourself. But even your dreams will be but a pale shadow of my true decadence. |
| 69240 Minsc, I am finding myself unable to deny your effectiveness in battle. |
| 69241 Eh... Boo, was that a compliment? |
| 69242 Oh, it was, and your response is the reason for my query. Just how old is Boo? |
| 69243 Boo? He is young by the standards of his miniature giant cohorts. |
| 69244 So he has exceeded the normal lifespan of a normal rodent of his type? |
| 69245 Of that, Viconia, I have no doubt. |
| 69246 I believe he takes offense to the term "rodent." |
| 69247 Perhaps he bears examining. Some form of exploratory dissection. It was an art in my homeland. |
| 69248 You know, try as he might, Boo just doesn't get your kind of humor. |
| 69249 Eh, you know, with all that has been going on, Boo and I are having some trouble keeping our feet on the ground. |
| 69250 What kind of trouble? |
| 69251 These strange times confuse us all. |
| 69252 Live with it, Minsc. I need you strong. |
| 69253 You will see no slacking in the sword arm of Minsc, but no matter the running start, I cannot cut through the heavens. |
| 69254 Well, with all this talk of gods, where will Minsc and Boo fit in? Swords have little effect on the heavens. |
| 69255 Oh, I am not confused. Clarity is ever my stalwart companion, but where do Minsc and Boo fit when we are battling gods? |
| 69256 I see your point. Your usefulness to me is decreasing. |
| 69257 Minsc, nothing can withstand the might of your righteous fury. |
| 69258 You stand as inspiration. You are practically the avatar of butt-kicking. |
| 69259 I see your point. Your usefulness to me is decreasing. |
| 69260 Minsc, nothing can withstand the might of your righteous fury. |
| 69261 You stand as inspiration. Hell, you are practically the avatar of butt-kicking. |
| 69262 Nothing that *stands* can withstand it, but floaty specters of evil gods incarnate may as well be made of the hot air they spew. |
| 69263 As motivational speeches go, that was not one of your best. Look, Boo shrivels with insecurity. I mean, he's a hamster; just how small do you think he can safely get?! |
| 69264 So. I yet remain at your side. I am surprised. But from your constant wary glances, it seems that you do not trust my presence... yet. |
| 69265 Well, I *believe* that I can stick a thumb in the eye of evil no matter what head it is moored to. Perhaps that is enough. We shall have to see. |
| 69266 You may have sworn an oath, but I hardly believe you'll keep it. |
| 69267 Well, you may be right. Perhaps there's no place for a swordsman in the fights of tomorrow. |
| 69268 It's all about belief, Minsc. Do you believe you can kick their tails? |
| 69269 I may not like you, but I trust that you'll keep your oath. |
| 69270 You swore an oath, Sarevok, and I'm fine with that. |
| 69271 And you're surprised by that? |
| 69272 I may despise you, Sarevok, but I trust you won't betray me. |
| 69273 No, that's not true. I don't fear your presence at all. |
| 69274 Yes... the oath. I told you that there was magic in our sire's plane that would enforce an oath. And it's true... I can feel its power even now. Oaths are binding when made in such a place. |
| 69275 But still, I am curious. Regardless of any oath you might have had me take, why did you agree to take me with you? You have no remaining grudges from our earlier matches? |
| 69276 So, "Sarevok," if that is your real name, what do you remember of our previous battles, hmm? |
| 69277 No, not really. You paid for what you did. |
| 69278 You're of use to me. That's the only reason you're here. |
| 69279 What are you getting at, ranger? I remember you well enough. |
| 69280 I have plenty of grudges, but I may have need of you. |
| 69281 You're no match for me anymore, Sarevok. |
| 69282 I am not completely convinced that you are who you say you are, standing there saying you are. |
| 69283 You have grown in power, so I do not expect you to fear me as you once may have. But I do expect the lack of trust, the suspicion that I might betray you. If I were you, I would feel so. |
| 69284 It eats away at me, then, as to why you would agree to take me with you and not force some form of compliance from me through an oath. I told you that oaths had real power in our father's realm. |
| 69285 I would never believe anything you say anyway, so what would be the point? |
| 69286 The fact that it eats away at you is enough for me. |
| 69287 I take you with me because you may be of use. But I don't need an oath of servitude. |
| 69288 You're here on your own recognizance. Screw it up, and you can always die again. |
| 69289 And I am to feel bad that I do not have your validation? No, if my identity is a problem for you, then let my actions speak instead. |
| 69290 I don't believe in enslaving the wills of others. Your destiny is your own business. |
| 69291 Boo agrees. You are welcome beside us if you effectively apply the boots of goodness. |
| 69292 I... paid for it. You do not still feel anger over what I did to your stepfather? |
| 69293 No. You're not the same man, are you? |
| 69294 I will never forgive you. But no, I'm not angry about it. |
| 69295 I never really cared much for Gorion anyway. |
| 69296 Perhaps. But I already took my revenge. Now you get the benefit of the doubt. |
| 69297 Yes, I can understand this. I too would see benefit in having a warrior bound to me by an oath... one that I have no reason to fear. So be it. |
| 69298 Your deluded comments are unnecessary. <CHARNAME> directs my wrath as <PRO_HESHE> sees fit. |
| 69299 If you distrust me so completely, why did you take me with you at all, then? |
| 69300 A fine choice of mentor, but again, you do not seem like a "Sarevok" to me. Too much "humble," not enough "RAAAAGH, feel my unholy rage." |
| 69301 Ranger, turn your rodent's gaze another direction! I will not be scrutinized as though by some ridiculous divining rod! |
| 69302 Boo is an uncanny judge of character, but you... you give him trouble. |
| 69303 I shall give him more than that if this continues! I nearly conquered a nation! I will not be judged by a creature that stores nuts in its cheeks! |
| 69304 Hey! I resemble that remark. |
| 69305 Trust me, gnome, you do not want to partake in my wrath this day. |
| 69306 Because you may prove to be of use to me. |
| 69307 Because I have no fear of what you might do. It's your choice. |
| 69308 You're here on your own recognizance. Screw up, and you can always die again. |
| 69309 Because everyone deserves another chance, Sarevok. Even you. |
| 69310 Food storage aside, Boo controls himself far better than you do. Do you see him ranting about mere glances? Let's look. |
| 69311 What? |
| 69312 There, you see? No rant. In fact, right now we see him snuffing about for a comfy place to sleep. Admirable restraint. |
| 69313 I'm still in Hell, aren't I? This is insanity. |
| 69314 Ah, finally a calming look across your face. Boo's handiwork, no doubt. Doesn't that feel better? |
| 69315 Let's... let's go kill something. Soon. |
| 69316 I... I know there's a lot on your mind right now, but... may I... may I talk to you? About us? |
| 69317 Yes, Aerie, what is it? |
| 69318 I'm surprised, Aerie. I thought you wanted to put our relationship on hold until our adventures were over. |
| 69320 You jest, but I would know the real reason. If you despise me so, why take me with you at all without any form of magical restraint such as the oath? |
| 69321 I would never believe any oath you gave anyway, so what would be the point? |
| 69322 Because you may be of use. But I don't need an oath of servitude. |
| 69323 You're here on your own recognizance. Screw it up, and you can always die again. |
| 69324 I don't believe in enslaving the wills of others. Your destiny is your own business. |
| 69325 Well, that's for me to know and for you to figure out, isn't it? |
| 69326 Yes, I can understand the use of one with warrior skills... especially one you have little cause to fear. It is the lack of restraint that confuses me, when it is available. So be it. |
| 69327 I... this has been a difficult time for me, <CHARNAME>. My life has changed so much since I met you. Since you rescued me from that circus. Sometimes I don't even feel like I know myself anymore. |
| 69328 So you... allow me to make my own destiny by your side, trusting I will not betray you... why? Your vengeance aside, why would I not do so if I thought I could gain advantage? |
| 69329 You've... you've been so patient this whole time. So understanding. And now, because of you and your love, I'm not that frightened little girl anymore. But... but I'm still scared... |
| 69330 You probably will. I will just deal with it then, is all. |
| 69331 You're of use to me. I'm willing to take the risk. |
| 69332 My vengeance will have to be enough. I'm not about to let you out of Hell a second time. |
| 69333 You have nothing to be frightened of, Aerie. I'll always be here to protect you. |
| 69334 You paid for what you did. You're a new man, free to make new mistakes if you wish. |
| 69335 Scared? Scared of what? |
| 69336 You might. But everyone gets a second chance, Sarevok. Even you. |
| 69337 That's nothing new, Aerie. You'd be afraid of your own shadow. |
| 69338 An... interesting view, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps it shall be your downfall. I shall have to think on it. |
| 69339 Perhaps you are more of a fool than I thought. Or perhaps not. We shall see. |
| 69340 I'm frightened of what's to come, <CHARNAME>. So much has changed so fast. I love you, but what if... what if I suddenly lose you? What if some irresistible force tears us apart? That's why I wanted to wait. Until things were more... stable. |
| 69341 It appears the seeds that our sire sowed long ago are about to come to fruition. For good or ill, the issue will be finally resolved very soon. |
| 69342 Feeling jealous? |
| 69343 So? What about it? |
| 69344 This isn't exactly how you thought it would happen, right? |
| 69345 I once thought that I was the one spoken of by Alaundo's prophecy, that is true. You may be the one as well, although that has yet to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. |
| 69346 Still, once this is all over, my use to you will be at an end. My oath to you will be over, <CHARNAME>. What do you intend to do with me, then? |
| 69347 Still, once this is all over, my use to you will be at an end. I have no oath to continue service, so my question is thus: What will you do with me, then? |
| 69348 You'll be free to go as you wish. |
| 69349 What do you mean? Why is it my decision? |
| 69350 I couldn't let you leave, knowing you were going to do evil. |
| 69351 I intend to kill you again, of course. |
| 69352 You'll be free to go as you wish. |
| 69353 What do you mean? Why is it my decision? |
| 69354 I couldn't let you leave, knowing you were going to do evil. |
| 69355 I intend to kill you again, of course. |
| 69356 You would allow me to leave? We would just part ways, and I would be free to carry out whatever plans I wish, no matter what they might be? |
| 69357 If that's what you want. It's not my decision. |
| 69358 Your destiny is your own to forge, Sarevok. Make the same mistakes, if you must. |
| 69359 And I would wish you the best. |
| 69360 Not if you intend to do evil. Then I would have to stop you. |
| 69361 I couldn't care less what happened to you. |
| 69362 I offered my services to you because I knew you would require my aid and my knowledge, and because I knew yours would be the path of power. But I also cannot foresee you allowing me my freedom. |
| 69363 Well, you have your freedom whether you believe it or not. |
| 69364 I suppose I wouldn't let you leave, knowing you were going to do evil. |
| 69365 That's true. I should probably kill you first. |
| 69366 I couldn't care less what happens to you. |
| 69367 But I *am* evil, <CHARNAME>. I intend to gain power for myself, as I once did, although my exact plans will be different. Did you assume I would do otherwise? |
| 69368 I don't mind taking things slow, Aerie. But this might be as stable as my life ever gets. |
| 69369 Sometimes you have to live for the moment, Aerieâ€â€before the moment is gone. |
| 69370 I can't wait around for you forever, Aerie. |
| 69371 No. I suppose you're free to make the same mistakes as before. |
| 69372 I assumed that perhaps you had decided to live your life differently. |
| 69373 I... of course not, <CHARNAME>. I... I don't expect you to. I just... I need to think things over a little bit longer. |
| 69374 I assumed that you would know better. That I would be forced to kill you. |
| 69375 True. I guess I will have to kill you again, after all. |
| 69376 I see. It is to be a final murder in honor of our sire, is it? |
| 69377 It won't be murder. It'll be justice. |
| 69378 If it will stop you from spreading your evil, yes. |
| 69379 I... I know you're right, <CHARNAME>. I'm just so worried about losing you later on that I'm afraid to let myself love you now. It's foolish, but I can't help it. I want to let myself love you, <CHARNAME>. Please, just be patient with me a while longer. |
| 69380 I don't know. I will have to see when the time comes. |
| 69381 Absolutely. Why not? |
| 69382 I see. That explains much, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 69383 I've been thinking about what you said earlier, about waiting... and how sometimes we can wait so long for something we want, we end up losing what we already have. |
| 69384 And do you believe I have another choice? |
| 69385 You sound like you've reached a decision. |
| 69386 Forget it, Aerie. This weepy act has worn thin for me. |
| 69387 I... I see. I thought you were someone worth giving my heart to, but I see I was wrong. Don't worry, <CHARNAME>â€â€I won't ever bother you with my "weepy" words again! |
| 69388 I have, <CHARNAME>. I love you. I want to be with you. Now and forever... but I can't control the forever. I can only control the now. May I... may I sleep with you tonight? If... if I haven't already waited too long... |
| 69389 Another choice than being evil? Always. |
| 69390 It all depends on whether or not you want to end up in the same place, Sarevok. |
| 69391 I love you, Aerieâ€â€with all my heart and soul. I would have waited an eternity for you. |
| 69392 You always have another choice. I will not stop you. |
| 69393 I suppose not. You cannot change a man's nature. |
| 69394 I think you made it in just under the wire, my love. *grin* |
| 69395 I couldn't care less. Do as you like. |
| 69396 Are you sure about this, Aerie? I don't want to pressure you. |
| 69397 I'm ready, <CHARNAME>. Ready to commit to you in body, heart, and soul. Ready to give myself to you totally. I was afraid before, but not anymore. Whatever the future brings, I want us to make the most of the time we have together. Starting right now. |
| 69398 Ah, yes. The delusion of righteousness. So be it. |
| 69399 I couldn't have said it better myself, my love. |
| 69400 Shhh... the fire is burning low, and the others are asleep. Why don't I snuggle in with you, <CHARNAME>? And when the morning comes, I promise I'll still be here. I won't push you away anymore, my love. And I swear I'll never let you go. |
| 69401 Absolutely. Why not? |
| 69402 I see. An oathbound servant to aid you towards the goal I once reached for myself. Commendable. I have obviously not given you enough credit. |
| 69403 I see. Despite the fact that you did not choose to bind me with an oath, you have my old goals in mind anyway. I obviously have not given you enough credit. |
| 69404 I see. I will think on your words then, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 69405 Fair enough. I will leave you be for now then, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. We shall speak another time. |
| 69406 The end draws closer. We both know this to be true. Listen to a proposition, then, that I have given much thought to as of late. |
| 69407 I... I have to go! I have to see if my mother... *sob* It can't be true, can it? I have to... I have to return to Faenya-Dail. |
| 69408 Calm down, Aerie. That wraith was lying. |
| 69409 You can't be sure, <CHARNAME>! How did it even know those things? Oh, Mother! What have I done to you? |
| 69410 Go ahead and tell me. |
| 69411 I'll listen, though I won't promise anything. |
| 69412 Aerie, that creature was pure evil. It said those things to hurt you. That's all. |
| 69413 Speak if you must, but make it quick. |
| 69414 You're right, Aerie. I don't know if that thing was telling the truth. |
| 69415 I'm not interested in anything you have to say. |
| 69416 I... I have to go back home. I have to find out if that spirit was telling the truth! |
| 69417 And what about me? You said we'd be together forever! |
| 69418 Don't go. Whatever the past is, Aerie, it's in the past. |
| 69419 Stay with me, Aerie. Whatever happened, you can't make any difference now. |
| 69420 I'm... I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>. This is exactly what I was afraid ofâ€â€something tearing us apart. But I have no choice. I have to go back home. |
| 69421 Go, then, Aerie. I guess our love was never meant to be. |
| 69422 As you wish... I am sure your mind is clouded with your own plans. So be it. |
| 69423 What... what are you talking about, <CHARNAME>? |
| 69424 No, Aerie. There is no reason for you to go back. |
| 69425 That thing was lying, Aerie. I know it. I could *feel* it. |
| 69426 But I... I... *sigh* I know you're right, <CHARNAME>. Maybe my mother really is dead... but I didn't kill her. And returning home won't bring her back. Besides, I left that part of my life behind a long, long time ago. My place is here now... with you, my love. |
| 69427 You weren't responsible for your mother's death, Aerie. No matter what that thing said. |
| 69428 Someday I plan to go back to Faenya-Dail. But not now. Not if it means deserting you. I swore to stay with you, <CHARNAME>, and I will. I won't let a ghost from my past destroy everything we have built together. |
| 69429 I expect no greatness from myself, <CHARNAME>. You should know this... the plans I once had to become the new Lord of Murder died with the loss of my taint. |
| 69430 I'm glad, Aerie. Are you okay? |
| 69431 No... but I will be. Thank you, <CHARNAME>. Thank you for... well, everything. I couldn't have done this without you by my side. But I don't want the others to get impatient with "poor little Aerie." Don't worry about meâ€â€I'll be fine once we get moving. |
| 69432 Perhaps we will meet again someday, <CHARNAME>. I... this is too painful. I have to go. |
| 69433 Your own plans, however, are mostly unknown to me... although your evil nature is apparent enough and leads me to believe my overtures may not be unwelcome. |
| 69434 I had a dream last night... a beautiful dream. But I wasn't sure if I should tell you about it. |
| 69435 Wait, let me guess... a dream about flying. |
| 69436 Why not...? Was I in it? Was I... naughty? |
| 69437 No... I don't dream of that much anymore. This was about us. |
| 69438 <CHARNAME>! You are so bad! *giggle* No, this wasn't a "naughty" dream. This was about us. |
| 69439 We were sitting together in our home. Not speaking, just sitting and thinking. And holding hands. We were both old... very old. Old, but happy. |
| 69440 Your own plans, however, are mostly unknown to me. Your nature is not as self-serving as my own, generally speaking... so it is difficult to gauge how welcome my overtures will be. |
| 69441 Sounds nice, my love. Maybe it's a sign of things to come. |
| 69442 You may have decided to undertake my old goal and seek to become the new Lord of Murder... if such a thing is indeed possible. Or you may seek to rid yourself of our sire's taint forever. |
| 69443 Just the two of us, Aerie? Don't you see any children in our future? |
| 69444 This is what my proposition relates to. <CHARNAME>, I urge you to seek the path of power. Take the reins that are meant for you and assume your birthright! |
| 69445 That's a nice thought, Aerie. But you know it probably won't ever happen. |
| 69446 After all you have been through, it is the only reasonable path! And I beg you... allow Sarevok to stand at your side. Brother and <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>-in-arms together! |
| 69447 Imagine it, <CHARNAME>... Together we could advance across the realms, an unstoppable force with an army at your command! You would be the ultimate terror, and I would be your iron right hand to rule over all! |
| 69448 Maybe, maybe not. Who can say what the future holds for us? But it was a nice dream while it lasted. |
| 69449 That does sound intriguing. It's a possibility. |
| 69450 I might be interested in assuming my birthright... but that doesn't involve you. |
| 69451 I have other plans, Sarevok. Forget it. |
| 69452 Who knows if such a thing will even be possible? But the chance that it may be fills me with hope that glory may one day, finally, be ours! Ha ha! Together, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, it may be so! |
| 69453 Ah, my love. I always find your innocence so appealing. |
| 69454 My "innocence"? I hardly think of myself as "innocent" anymore, <CHARNAME>. Not after everything we've been through. Maybe once, a long time ago... but I've grown since then. I'm not a wide-eyed little girl anymore. |
| 69455 But I could be of use to you, <CHARNAME>! And what is more appropriate than we two spawn of Bhaal ruling over lesser beings? Just think of the possibilities! |
| 69456 What was I thinking? You are truly the epitome of mature and matronly womanhood, Aerie. |
| 69457 I am. And they still don't involve you. |
| 69458 Well... perhaps it might be possible. We'll have to see. |
| 69459 *sigh* So be it. Let us see if you are capable of success on your own, <CHARNAME>. As for me... I suppose I shall deal with my destiny as it comes. |
| 69460 But why, <CHARNAME>? Why would you not take that which will be offered to you?! Power, wealth, rule over lesser men! It is all within your reach! |
| 69461 I'm sorry, Aerie. I didn't mean to offend you with that compliment. *grin* |
| 69462 No matter what power I achieve, Sarevok, I do not seek to rule over others. |
| 69463 *giggle* Oh, <CHARNAME>, I didn't mean to snap at you like that. It's just that everyone always still treats me as a little girl... and I'm one of the most powerful spellcasters in all of Faerûn! |
| 69464 Just because I take our father's birthright doesn't mean I will become evil. |
| 69465 None of that is important to me, Sarevok. |
| 69466 It doesn't matter what happens to me, Sarevok... you won't be involved regardless. |
| 69467 You still want power and wealth? Give it up, Sarevok. |
| 69468 Maybe the next time someone treats me like a child, I'll turn them into a toad. That should get my point across. *grin* And as for you, my love... wait until this evening, and I promise you'll see that I'm anything but "innocent"! |
| 69469 You are a fool, Sarevok. Have you learned nothing? |
| 69470 I don't want what you want. It's very simple. |
| 69471 I... don't understand. What is the use of power if you do not carve out an empire for yourself? |
| 69472 Oh, believe me, Aerie... I know you're *all* woman! |
| 69473 You can't take an empire with you when you die. You should know that. |
| 69474 There is much good that can be done with that power. That is more important. |
| 69475 I don't know. But it doesn't have to be used for self-serving, evil purposes. |
| 69476 With that power comes great responsibility. |
| 69477 It's none of your business, Sarevok. |
| 69478 There are better things than power. Don't be a fool. |
| 69479 I'm not going to discuss this with you. Begone. |
| 69480 After... after all you have been through? With the taint in your soul, you still believe this? |
| 69481 Perhaps you are correct. I will think on your words, <CHARNAME>. |
| 69482 I do. |
| 69483 Perhaps. We shall see what occurs. |
| 69484 Who knows? Had you going, though, didn't I? |
| 69485 Indeed. I think you a bit odd, <CHARNAME>... but perhaps you are more deserving of our birthright. We shall see. |
| 69486 I... I see. |
| 69487 I don't believe you are sincere in your words, <CHARNAME>. But perhaps you are more deserving of our birthright. We shall see. I shall stand by your side, and we shall see how this ends. |
| 69488 I believe you are a liar, <CHARNAME>. The taint will swallow you, no matter your claims over our birthright. I cannot wait to see how this all ends, personally. |
| 69489 I believe your words may have merit, <CHARNAME>. My own methods did not end well... and I have no desire to return to the Abyss when I perish next. |
| 69490 Perhaps it is time to rethink my views. I shall have to think on your words most carefully. |
| 69491 Us? I thought you needed to "find yourself" before there could be any us. |
| 69492 I have been considering your words. I have changed my outlook, and I think perhaps it may be a good thing. I feel I must... thank you. |
| 69493 I'm happy to see it, Sarevok. |
| 69494 It was your choice, Sarevok, not mine. |
| 69495 Are you sure it's what you want? |
| 69496 We shall see if my new view on life is something that will prove lasting. But... I cannot see a reason that it will not remain so. |
| 69497 There is much in my former life that I must... atone for, I think. Somehow, I think it will be a good goal to strive for... don't you? |
| 69498 <CHARNAME>... I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see the burning buildings of Saradush and the smoking bodies of all those Bhaalspawn lying in the streets! Ugh! It's horrible! |
| 69499 Same old story... death and bloodshed still hound my every step. |
| 69500 It was horrible, Aerie. An entire city ravaged because some of them shared my tainted blood. |
| 69501 Maybe if you didn't dwell on it, you'd be able to put it behind you. |
| 69502 I'm sorry, <CHARNAME>... I was so worried about my own reactions I forgot that it must have been even more upsetting to you. All those who shared your destiny, butchered like that... |
| 69503 There's nothing we can do for them now, Aerie. Best to let the dead rest in peace. |
| 69504 I've seen so much death it hardly even bothers me anymore. |
| 69505 You don't seem very upset about it, <CHARNAME>! Just because we didn't know those people doesn't make their deaths any less meaningful! |
| 69506 With as many deaths as I've seen in my life, I guess I'm just numb to it now. It's how I cope. |
| 69507 I didn't mean that, Aerie. But torturing ourselves over their fate only causes us more pain! |
| 69508 Look, it's late and I'm tired. Can you whine about this in the morning? |
| 69509 No, <CHARNAME>, don't be like that. If you numb yourself to the pain and suffering, you'll numb yourself to everything! Joy, happiness... even love. We have to accept the good and the bad, my love... but it's better than feeling nothing at all. |
| 69510 You're right, Aerie. And as long as you're with me, I know the good will outweigh the bad. |
| 69511 So I should let myself become a weepy, sentimental mess? Like you? |
| 69512 I... I had no idea you were so callous! So devoid of compassion and pity! You are obviously not the person I thought you were. Excuse me, <CHARNAME>... I think I'm going to sleep on the other side of the camp from now on. |
| 69513 Yes, my love. We must draw strength from each other. Perhaps... perhaps if you wrap your arms around me, I will be able to sleep tonight... Ah, the comfort of your touch keeps the dark visions at bay. Sleep well, my love, until the morning. |
| 69514 Jaheira. |
| 69515 With you at my side. |
| 69516 And now there is no turning back. |
| 69517 What am I supposed to do? This seems so unreal... |
| 69518 Go. Do what you must. I... I love you. (Jaheira kisses you, and then turns away, resigned to the decision she feels you have already made.) |
| 69519 Yes... *ahem*... Iâ€â€I suppose we shall see. |
| 69520 Please, my love, hang back here with me awhile. Away from the others. I must ask you something... privately. What do you think of Quayle? |
| 69521 No, I mean the name. What do you think of Quayle as a name? For a child. A boy. |
| 69522 Your uncle? He seemed nice enough. |
| 69523 He's important to you, Aerie... and that means he's important to me. |
| 69524 Is there something you're trying to tell me, my love? |
| 69528 What do you mean, "what?" I'm staying. I'm staying, and you'll never get rid of me. |
| 69529 All that power... the gods... that's somewhere else. You are here... real, and I'm not leaving. |
| 69530 I didn't want it. That's all. We'll see what happens. |
| 69531 Oh my... I, um... what can I say? |
| 69532 Nothing. Nothing at all. |
| 69533 Just smile. That's enough. |
| 69534 Goodbye. |
| 69535 Count on it. |
| 69536 Jaheira... I'm sorry. |
| 69537 Please tell me you're asking only out of curiosity. |
| 69538 Why all the secrecy? Is there something the matter with Quayle? |
| 69539 I'm pregnant, <CHARNAME>! Isn't it wonderful? |
| 69540 Pregnant? I... I... I'm not sure what to say. |
| 69541 Aerie, I'm so happy for you! For us, I mean. |
| 69542 Are you sure you're pregnant? I mean... how do you know? |
| 69543 This is horrible, Aerie! |
| 69544 I know, <CHARNAME>. We avariel have a sixth sense about these types of things. There is no mistake... I'm pregnant with your child, my love. |
| 69545 I knew you'd be happy, <CHARNAME>! I feel like... like I want to burst with joy! |
| 69546 I was foolish and naive, a waela jalil. I should have left when I had the chance. |
| 69547 That was not the reaction I was hoping for, my love. But I can understand your misgivings. |
| 69548 I realize this is not the best timing, but there are still many months before our child will be born. And I... oh, <CHARNAME>... *grin*... I can see by your face that you're still a little overwhelmed by all this. |
| 69549 Please... don't tell the others. Not yet. This joyous news is for you and me alone right now. I'll... I'll give you some time to let this news settle in before we discuss our future plans. Hurry... let's catch up with the others before they get suspicious. |
| 69550 What are you talking about? |
| 69551 What's the problem now, Viconia? |
| 69552 Are you not happy here? |
| 69553 I speak of my attempt to leave your presence when I realized our... attraction... bode only ill for the future. I allowed you to convince me to stay when I knew better. |
| 69554 I needed you, Viconia. And I still do. |
| 69555 You have changed your mind on staying? |
| 69556 You're free to go if you like, Viconia. |
| 69557 Perhaps you can make use of me, but I truly doubt you are so weak as to actually need me, <CHARNAME>. You may have an attachment, but that is all. |
| 69558 My love, have you had a chance to think about our little secret? My... condition? |
| 69559 Before we descended into Hell, I spoke to you of my... continued feelings, of my doubt that a future between us was impossible. I said that perhaps we could speak of this again once you had regained your soul. |
| 69560 I have, Aerie. There is much we need to discuss. |
| 69561 And you have... Irenicus is dead, and you are whole once again. But your quest is never truly over, is it? Your future is constantly in question, and so would ours be. Perhaps it is time for me to leave. |
| 69562 I still need some more time to wrap my head around this. |
| 69564 Why do you want to go now, of all times? |
| 69565 You have always been patient with me, <CHARNAME>. I wish I could do the same for you, my love. But this is something we must discuss now. |
| 69566 If that's what you truly want to do, then I can't stop you. |
| 69567 No, don't go, Viconia. I love you too much to lose you forever. |
| 69568 Fine. Abandon me. Good riddance. |
| 69569 This child will change our lives completely, my love. And the lives of those who would adventure with us on this quest you have undertaken. |
| 69570 Perhaps I should... if you've no objection, of course. |
| 69571 It won't change my life... I want nothing to do with this kid. |
| 69572 Aerie, how can we do this now? You can't be pregnant while we battle such dangerous foes. |
| 69574 Why are you bringing this up? |
| 69575 Yes, fine, go. |
| 69576 Aerie, I think we should find somewhere safe for you to stay until after the baby is born. |
| 69577 I want you by my side, Aerie... now more than ever. We can work this out. |
| 69578 <CHARNAME>! You would turn your back on your own flesh and blood? You would abandon me and our child? |
| 69579 Oh, it seems we are never allowed a moment of rest. Still, I am glad we have accomplished so much. |
| 69580 Sorry, I was just making a joke. Poor taste on my part. |
| 69581 This isn't my problem... I'm not the one who's pregnant. |
| 69582 My father abandoned me, and I got by just fine. |
| 69583 Really? I have had the feeling of running in circles. |
| 69584 I'm just happy to have weathered it all with you still at my side. |
| 69585 Jaheira, I'm sorry, but I can't talk right now. |
| 69586 Give it a rest. My life continues to be a monumental chore. |
| 69587 You... you are a monster! A cruel, heartless monster! I can't stay here... I won't let my child be poisoned by your evil! I hope you burn in the Abyss, <CHARNAME>! |
| 69588 This will not be so hard as you might imagine, <CHARNAME>. We may very well conclude our adventures long before my condition even becomes noticeable. And if not, I can still fight and cast spells while our child grows within me. |
| 69589 Perhaps, but we have dealt with much. With Irenicus dead, many ghosts can rest. His victims can go to their fates with no unfinished business. |
| 69590 No... it's too dangerous. |
| 69591 What if you get injured? What will happen to the baby? |
| 69592 That is important to me, <CHARNAME>. There must be closure to the past for us to... to move forward. |
| 69593 I am glad as well. I was worried that my desire to avenge the... the dead had... well... I just wanted the business of the past to be well and truly finished. |
| 69594 I am finding it... increasingly difficult to travel by your side, <CHARNAME>, and still remember the reasons that we are not together. I yearn to touch you, even if I should not. |
| 69595 If that is still your wish, I mean... |
| 69596 Jaheira, I need you here. You keep me grounded. |
| 69598 What I want changes daily. Everything is a bit crazy right now. |
| 69599 I know, there is always something to take our attention. I will leave you to it, but I just wanted to say... to say that... |
| 69600 And if the baby is born before our adventures are done? What then? |
| 69601 I just wanted to say that I still feel for you, and that I hope we can get past all of this... together. |
| 69602 The safest place is here with us, where we can protect our child. |
| 69603 This is a weakness within me. A weakness that may get us both killed. So I should leave now, as I said. |
| 69604 Well, perhaps I have chosen the wrong time to bother you. If you wish to wallow in your troubles, I shall wait until you are done. |
| 69605 I'll be here if you need me, you know. You are not alone in this. |
| 69606 The healing magics that restore my health will restore the health of the unborn child in my wombâ€â€even resurrecting it to life, if that should be necessary. |
| 69607 The fate of the child is tied to yours, <CHARNAME>... it shares your destiny. As long as you live, it too shall survive. |
| 69608 I know this will be difficult, my love. But I have suffered through worse. When I lost my wings, I found the strength to go on. Surely I have the strength for this. |
| 69609 I had hoped as much. You are very important to me, <CHARNAME>. I could not imagine us... |
| 69610 I don't think it's a weakness, Viconia. |
| 69611 I feel the same way, and I don't want you to leave. |
| 69612 I disagree. I want us to be together again. |
| 69613 Fine, then. Go, if that's what you want. |
| 69614 I really did not need thatâ€â€that phantom and his accusations. How dare he! To defile the form of Gorion and Khalid with such... ooh, with such... |
| 69615 That maudlin expression is exactly the reason why I should go. The longer I travel with you, the harder it is to remember the reasons why we cannot be together... as it seems I am the only one who can. |
| 69616 Are you sure, abbil? This is your last opportunity to object. |
| 69617 Of course I object! I love you, and I want you to stay! |
| 69618 Why do you want to leave, anyway? |
| 69619 I know. It was an insult to the people they were. |
| 69620 As if the living do not suffer enough when loved ones fall. |
| 69621 Well, he did have a point. We both failed them. |
| 69622 Just give me your stuff, and you can go. |
| 69623 No, no. If this is what you want, then go. |
| 69624 What? They were taken from us horribly, the pain of their loss stinging our hearts! If their deaths could have been prevented, we would have found a way! |
| 69625 Of course you would say this. Tell me, then, <CHARNAME>... what purpose would be served by the two of us reuniting? I have made all my arguments to you already. |
| 69626 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. It was hard for me too. |
| 69627 But you didn't, and that's a failure. I mean, he really did have a point. |
| 69628 But if you still love me, then your arguments aren't enough. |
| 69629 Neither of us can control the future, Viconia. But we can control the now. |
| 69630 Why not just do something that pleases you for once despite the consequences? |
| 69631 If you think you can do this, Aerie, I will support every step of the way. |
| 69632 I don't know. I can't refute your arguments, Viconia. |
| 69633 I guess nothing would be served. Perhaps you should go after all. |
| 69634 I... I'm not sure about this, Aerie. But I'm willing to tryâ€â€for our sake and the sake of the child. |
| 69635 Is that... is that how you see us... see me? As a failure? As someone that lets her friends and loved ones die? I... how could you... HOW COULD YOU?! |
| 69636 I'd rather just forget about you and the kid, Aerie. Take a hike, "Mommy." |
| 69637 Walk away, <CHARNAME>. I do not wish to look at you. Walk away, and stay away. |
| 69638 Then there is nothing more to be said, my ssinssrigg. I wish you well in your destiny. If we are fortunate... perhaps we shall meet again. |
| 69639 I have grieved in prayer and action for all that have fallen around me. I have fought to avenge each and every soul that has been taken in the fight for balance. |
| 69640 I have earned what I carry, and I shall take it with me. I wish you well in your future, my ssinssrigg. Perhaps we shall meet again; who knows? |
| 69641 I... I know together we can do this, <CHARNAME>. As long as I have you by my side, helping me and watching over me, I'll be okay. And so will our baby. |
| 69642 I will not be accused of dishonoring their memory, of benefiting from the death of friends. I have punished myself enough for... |
| 69643 I mean... you made certain that Gorion and his vision were properly honored, even if you could not save... |
| 69644 I am sorry. I should stop. I will not poison your view of me by having you assume my regrets. That is not fair of me. |
| 69645 *sigh* Then... despite the idiocy of doing so, I... I would wish to be with you again, <CHARNAME>. I miss you. I miss being close to you and feeling your flesh against mine. |
| 69646 Jaheira! |
| 69647 Jaheira, you have done so much... |
| 69648 But... please don't mention this to the others. They're finally starting to treat me with respect now. I don't want everyone to suddenly start making a big fuss over "poor pregnant Aerie." |
| 69649 Let us throw caution to the wind, then, if that is what you wish. You are no ordinary <PRO_MANWOMAN>, <CHARNAME>... and I will bear the consequences if you will. |
| 69650 I... I wanted to say... Can you listen to me for a moment? |
| 69651 Of course, Jaheira. I was worried about you. |
| 69652 No, I won't. I want to speak and have you listen to me. |
| 69653 No, I have no more time for your outbursts. |
| 69654 Eventually, they're going to figure it out. You can't hide something like this. |
| 69655 No more time? I see. Why have I not seen this side of you...? Perhaps you are changing more than you like to believe. Perhaps you have already lost... |
| 69656 I would like that. |
| 69657 You are no ordinary woman, Viconia... by far. And I would love for us to be together again. |
| 69658 Zakee Rafeha |
| 69659 If I wear long, loose robes, no one will notice until the last few weeks. And if neither of us draws any attention to it while the others are around, no one will suspect anything. Please, <CHARNAME>... let's keep this our special little secret. |
| 69660 No. No, I think you were right the first time. This won't work out. |
| 69661 Then let us continue on the journey towards your destiny, my mrann d'ssinss. It will be good for us to be together again, striving as one against your enemies! |
| 69662 As you wish my love. Mum's the word. |
| 69663 Leila |
| 69664 Oh, <CHARNAME>... you and your jokes! I do love you so. But come, the others will wonder what we are up to if we tarry any longer. |
| 69665 I... very well. Speak your mind. |
| 69666 No, I will speak my heart. Jaheira, I care deeply for you. I need to know if our relationship is the healthiest thing for you. |
| 69667 Will you truly hear? You are so unsure of the future, of your feelings, even with my reassurances. |
| 69668 I want this to end, Jaheira. I can't handle your ups and downs. It's too much. |
| 69669 I... was not aware that the sight of my brother would... have this effect upon me. I am ashamed that I showed such weakness! What a mooning, useless cow I have become! |
| 69670 What? What do you mean? We have come so far together... I see. I see the coldness in your eyes. Did I do this...? Or are you changing more than you think...? |
| 69671 Very well. No more will I trouble you with my petty feelings. Don't look at me like that. In fact, don't look at me at all. We have work to do... No more distractions. |
| 69672 Healthy for me? What do you mean? |
| 69673 Is it too soon, Jaheira? That wraith of Khalid shook you up pretty bad, and I need to know if you think our relationship is a good thing, or if you feel guilty for having feelings for me. I need to know. |
| 69674 My love... dawn is approaching soon. May I ask you something? |
| 69675 <CHARNAME>, I... I... |
| 69676 I don't know... I just don't know... you may not be the man you claim to be... you may not be mortal at all! Am I deluded...? Am I really feeling this...? |
| 69677 Of course, my dearest Aerie. You can ask me anything. |
| 69678 Then we need to work on this, Jaheira. It's hard, I know, but I need you here, with me. |
| 69679 Then that's it. It's better that this end. Your ups and downs are not healthy... for either of us. |
| 69680 What... what is it? Are you okay? Is the baby okay? |
| 69681 Relax, <CHARNAME>... we are both fine. You certainly are the stereotype of the worried father! *grin* This is about something else. |
| 69682 This is the happiest time of my life, <CHARNAME>. We have shared trials and tribulations. We share the deepest love. And together we have created a new life. But I know our greatest challenges are still ahead. |
| 69683 Without a doubt in my mind, I say to you that I am not sorry for a moment we have been together. I have many regrets in my life, but you are not one of them. |
| 69684 Then please understand that nothing will change how I feel. I need you here. |
| 69685 Even so, I don't think this is going to work. I don't think your ups and downs are a good thing, for either of us. |
| 69686 I am sorry for my reaction previously. I don't want you to think that I regret my actions with you. I do not. |
| 69687 Your ultimate destinyâ€â€and the destiny of our childâ€â€is yet to come. I... I don't know what awaits us, <CHARNAME>. But once again I fear I may lose you... |
| 69688 Khalid's loss was very hard for me, but we both understood the risks, and we both knew we would not honor the memory of the other by brooding forever. |
| 69689 Aerie... we will always be together. We are united as one. |
| 69690 I do not want to lose you, Aerie. But I cannot deny my destiny... whatever it may be. |
| 69691 Think no more of it, Jaheira. I want you here, no matter the difficulties we encounter. |
| 69692 I don't know, Jaheira. His shadow is still over you. Is our relationship the healthiest thing for you? |
| 69693 I know, my love. But still... could you do one thing for me? Could we celebrate our love in the traditions of my people? |
| 69694 Of course... Aerie, will you give me your hand in marriage? |
| 69695 Are you saying we should have a wedding? |
| 69696 And yet he keeps returning. No, I think we should end this. It's not helping either of us. |
| 69697 That means a lot to me, <CHARNAME>. You are foremost in my life now. Shadows cannot change that. |
| 69698 I have trouble picturing you in a bridal gown, Aerie. |
| 69699 Oh, <CHARNAME>! *giggle* Such ceremonies are not the custom of my people! True, we avariel have weddingsâ€â€but they are usually grand and formal events reserved for nobility and political alliances cemented through marriage. |
| 69700 Mm, sleep did not come easy last night. I hope I am not alone in this. |
| 69701 Most of my kind prefer a simpler marriage ceremony... the uniting of two hearts with a simple vow as the sun appears on the horizon, for example. |
| 69702 Dawn is approaching, my love... shall we swear our love to each other now? |
| 69703 If that is your wish, Aerie, my love, that is what we shall do. |
| 69704 Aerie, I would rather wait until this is all decided. If I am unable to remain with you, for any reason... |
| 69705 I... I understand, my love. Your destiny is still undecided. Very well... we can wait to perform this simple ceremony. The important thing is that we remain together. The others are stirring; let us leave this until later. |
| 69706 Thank you, <CHARNAME>! I, Aerie, shall stand by your side in both peace and battle. I shall shoulder your burdens as you shoulder mine. I shall unite myself with you in body, mind, and spirit. And I shall remain with you always, as your wife. This I swear by the light of the rising sun. |
| 69707 I couldn't close my eyes at all. I kept seeing the city of Saradush... burning. |
| 69708 I slept well enough, though I do have sympathy for those hurt because of my kind. |
| 69709 What? Did I miss something? I slept like the dead. |
| 69710 And I, <CHARNAME>, shall stand by your side in both peace and battle. I shall shoulder your burdens as you shoulder mine. I shall unite myself with you in body, mind, and spirit. And I shall remain with you always, as your husband. This I too swear by the light of the rising sun. |
| 69711 You cannot imagine how happy this simple ceremony has made me, <CHARNAME>! I wish... I wish we could just lie here and savor this moment forever. |
| 69712 But of course, I know we cannot. Even now the others are stirring, and we must rise and continue our questâ€â€for your own sake, as well as that of our child. Come, my love... let us face the world as husband and wife. |
| 69713 It is strange, but I am glad you are pained as I am. I had worried you were already slipping from your mortal form, becoming less the man I... feel for. |
| 69714 <CHARNAME>, do not lose yourself. You care about your fellow beings, about me. I do not know if the gods have such feelings... we are so small to them. |
| 69715 Don't be so hard on yourself, Viconia. |
| 69716 We can't all be so strong all the time. |
| 69717 I'm pretty surprised at that myself. |
| 69718 I agree. You should have seen through that wraith's attack. |
| 69719 Outer Jail Door Key |
| 69720 Outer Jail Door Key |
| 69721 Do not coddle me! I should have seen through that blatant attack! |
| 69722 Secret Jail Door Key |
| 69723 Secret Jail Door Key |
| 69724 I am here, Jaheira. I share your concern, and I will see this cannot happen again. |
| 69725 I don't know. Much good could be done for the grand scheme of things. Little things work themselves out. |
| 69726 I know, and I am tired of it. I will be noticed. I will be a power to be reckoned with. |
| 69727 I should have known better than to open myself up like this once again! I have become soft because of you, and now we are paying the price! |
| 69728 I worry for you. You seem distant, when the carnage is so real, so near. I know you worry for others, but I hope you are not immune to the pain yourself. |
| 69729 We survived, didn't we? No harm done. |
| 69730 I, for one, am glad to see your feelings. |
| 69731 Why are you acting like this? |
| 69732 That's true. You should have been stronger than this. |
| 69733 I am no simpering <PRO_RACE> female, <CHARNAME>. I have no built-in desire to shower my feelings upon my partner. I am strong because I am drow... because I am steel, honed to the sharpest of blades. |
| 69734 I hope that was not a joke at the expense of the fallen in Saradush! How could you be so insensitive? How could you look on them so callously... |
| 69735 An ill-timed jest, and I am sorry. I just don't know how to articulate the pain of it. |
| 69737 I am just above it all. This was a small thing compared to what might come. |
| 69738 You speak the truth. This ends now. I shall leave you, since I am of no further use. |
| 69739 No, stay with me! I need your skills still. |
| 69740 If that's what you want to do, I can't stop you. |
| 69741 Why are you talking like this? What's wrong, exactly? |
| 69742 And what will be your role? Are you to be the avenging solar or marauding demon? Neither is a creature of balance. Neither is anchored in the world of mortals. |
| 69743 <CHARNAME>, please, give thought to your actions. I do not want to lose you to this beast you carry within. Be careful. |
| 69744 I am glad. Remember who you are and what we have. It has been just as hard-won as your destiny. It matters. |
| 69745 You don't have to be strong by yourself, Viconia... that's why I'm here. |
| 69746 Your reaction to your brother isn't a form of weakness, Viconia. |
| 69747 You know, we should return to the elven city one day... |
| 69748 Relax already. You did nothing wrong. |
| 69749 Well, I would prefer that you be useful to me. That's more important. |
| 69750 I have never had to rely on others. Nor have I ever wished to. |
| 69751 Well, maybe it's time to start if this is going to work out between us. |
| 69752 Then I guess there's no point in continuing, is there? |
| 69753 It was... so difficult to see my brother again. I have not forgotten how he saved my life. I have not forgotten the closeness we shared. To think that he has suffered because of me... |
| 69754 Please... my love. I... *groan* I must... I must stop for the night. *groan* I... I think it's time! The baby is coming! |
| 69755 Augh... it hurts! Oh, my love... come quickly. Take my hand, please! |
| 69756 Don't worry, Aerie. I'm right here. Just... uh... just breathe! |
| 69757 I... Oh! The pain! *gasp* *pant* I... I can do this, <CHARNAME>... as long as you're with me. |
| 69758 It was beautiful, I'll give it that. A pity it suffered like it did. |
| 69759 Now? You're going to have your baby now? |
| 69760 Am I truly welcome there? I think they blamed me a little, just as they will in Saradush. |
| 69761 Why, so they can stare with their untrusting eyes? I felt that from them. |
| 69762 Yes, but they will rebuild. Even the elves feel the impetus of time and act to better themselves. They are not slaves of destiny. |
| 69763 Well, that sounded rehearsed. What are you getting at? |
| 69764 Please don't disguise your meaning, Jaheira. Voice your concern openly. |
| 69765 Perhaps, but that is only because their true enemy was so far removed. You bear a taint and were there, so they didn't know what to expect. Destiny means nothing to victims. |
| 69766 Well, that sounded rehearsed. What are you getting at? |
| 69767 Please don't disguise your meaning, Jaheira. Voice your concern openly. |
| 69768 I did not intend to speak down to you. I just want you to remember what is worthwhile. Destiny seems intent to claim you, and I don't know if that is for the best. |
| 69769 But that wasn't the truth! Any more than Gorion was. |
| 69770 Even if people distrust you now, at least it is *you* that they distrust. The creatures threatening us are beyond this earth. They are abstract, strange, and out of balance. |
| 69771 Get over it, Viconia. It's pointless to dwell on this. |
| 69772 Then we end the cause of this weakness. Our relationship, such as it is, is nothing but a hindrance. |
| 69773 It's a boy! Oh, what a beautiful son we haveâ€â€look at him wiggle his toes! |
| 69774 Fine. That works for me. |
| 69775 I... I have a name chosen already, <CHARNAME>. If you don't mind. I want to call him Quayle. |
| 69776 That's not necessary, Viconia. You don't have to get through this by yourself... that's what I'm here for. |
| 69778 I would be proud to have my son named after your uncle, Aerie. |
| 69779 I shall stay, then... but only to battle at your side, abbil. Let us journey on. |
| 69780 Hello, Quayle... can you say "Mommy"? Oh, he is so cute. He looks just like you, <CHARNAME>. He looks just like a little <PRO_RACE>. Why don't you hold him for a bit? You won't break him. |
| 69781 Then farewell, my ssinssrigg. I wish you success in your quest. |
| 69783 I'll be fine, <CHARNAME>. I'll just patch myself up with a few healing spells, and I'll be ready to go. Help strap little Quayle onto my back, and we can set off again and make the world a better place for our son. |
| 69784 <CHARNAME>, I know *you*, not your taint. I just want to protect what I have an interest in. Your life is tied to mine now. |
| 69785 Perhaps. Perhaps you speak the truth. I did confess to you that I know little of true closeness with others, did I not? I will need you to show me the way in this. |
| 69786 Let us move on, then. Remaining here churns my stomach. |
| 69787 Jaheira, I am not leaving anytime soon. Please, trust in me. |
| 69788 An impassioned plea, but I am not as worried as you. |
| 69789 I will do as I must when the time comes. Don't fill my head with doubts. |
| 69790 He's certainly a handsome lad, isn't he? Just like his daddy. Can you say "Daddy," little Quayle? Can you say "Mommy"? Oh, he looks hungry. You better give him back to me for a bit. |
| 69791 I have been thinking about us, my mrann d'ssinss. Perhaps thinking too much. Dwelling on such things leads only to headaches and confusion, don't you agree? |
| 69792 Here he is... Mommy. How are you feeling after all this? |
| 69793 I suppose so. |
| 69794 Absolutely. Good to see you've come around. |
| 69795 Not really... it's important to think these things through. |
| 69796 You speak with the tone of someone who has already decided their fate. I hope it is the right one for you. I hope there is a place in it for me. |
| 69797 I do. I just want to make sure you know it. |
| 69798 There are great changes to come, aren't there? Of all possibilities, I worry most for your future. |
| 69799 Why so, Jaheira? What concerns you? |
| 69800 My future seems to be on the minds of many creatures. |
| 69801 You do an awful lot of worrying about things you have no effect on. |
| 69802 We have fought much, and many children of Bhaal. They have sought conquest, to raise Bhaal, to become Bhaal, to destroy, to create, and now I wonder... |
| 69803 I wonder, <CHARNAME>, what will happen when this is over? If we prevail, that will undoubtedly free a great amount of the Bhaal taint. Will that be yours? |
| 69804 I mean, the children were to raise Bhaal. They are pushed to conquest to grow in strength, and then that strength is returned to Bhaal when they die. What if he is not raised? |
| 69805 I need to think I can make a difference, even in the face of destiny. There are gods involved here, but mortals push the events. Followers of Bhaal especially... and now I wonder... |
| 69806 Someone will have to assume the power. Perhaps me. Perhaps not. |
| 69807 He will be dead forever. His power will dissipate and be gone. |
| 69808 Perhaps his power could be contained... If there are other children, it may begin again. |
| 69809 That is my greatest fear. Such a person would become unreal, become godlike. They could not exist in a mortal shell. Nature would not allow it... |
| 69810 Such a person would leave this plane, called to duties elsewhere, beyond our thinking. Such a person might as well be dead to us... to me... |
| 69811 And we would be called to fight again, until we faced this same problem once more. Again someone would try to possess the power... you might... |
| 69812 Will it? He is dead now, and his power nests in whoever fights hard enough to get it. Who will fight for it tomorrow? Another spawn? Another god? You? |
| 69813 No. No, Jaheira, please calm down. I will not leave you, dead or otherwise. |
| 69814 Jaheira, what is this about? |
| 69815 But not dead. No, a being of wondrous power! Such a fitting fate... |
| 69816 I want you to be with me for a very long time, and I have enough trouble just seeing you hurt in combat without... without destiny killing you outright. |
| 69817 A fate for you and whom else? Not me. There is no place in such a fate for me. |
| 69818 Enough sorrow, Jaheira. I'm here now, and I promise I'll be here tomorrow. |
| 69819 Jaheira, even my own mistakes have trouble killing me. Things will work out. |
| 69820 I am the master of my destiny. I have nothing to fear from my glorious fate! |
| 69821 Tomorrow... one day... What of the rest? Please, think about the rest. |
| 69822 I don't think you've tried quite this hard before... |
| 69823 Well, it would appear that this... this is close to the end of our journey. |
| 69827 I trust you, <CHARNAME>. Remember that. |
| 69828 Don't worry. This is my dance, and I'll call it how I want it. |
| 69829 I'm glad someone does. Seems like the gods want to hold my hand through it. |
| 69830 There will be a special place at the foot of my throne for you. |
| 69831 Just stand back from here on in. |
| 69832 What?! |
| 69833 Kidding! Just kidding! Lighten up, it's destiny day. |
| 69834 Nothing. Don't worry. |
| 69835 You're a son-of-a-something all right, making jokes at a time like this, but I wouldn't call it a god. |
| 69836 Don't worry? Don't worry, he says. Hmph! |
| 69837 I will too, if you like. |
| 69838 Oooh, aren't you sweet? Okay, beautiful, you and me. Here we go. |
| 69839 Funny. I'm glad you're laughing. |
| 69840 I would prefer to be at your side. I hope there is room... |
| 69841 Quaint, but I don't know if the gods care for dancing. |
| 69842 Then they can sit this one out. I'll take care of things. |
| 69843 Maybe we'll get the chance to ask. Who knows...? |
| 69844 It's that or cry. Come on, let's go. |
| 69845 Yes... you and me... |
| 69846 Who knows anything...? |
| 69847 I know you will. |
| 69848 I suppose you must have enough to muse over without me adding to your problems, even though I do so enjoy seeing you fume occasionally. |
| 69849 Sorry, I was just making a joke. Poor taste on my part. |
| 69850 Then with all you have to think about, I am surprised you do not just curl into a little ball and contemplate things for a year or so. Ha! What a pretty sight that would make, no? |
| 69851 Since you have stopped us for the evening, then, perhaps the time has come to resume our physical relationship. I have... missed you, <CHARNAME>. And this, at least, is an arena I feel comfortable in. |
| 69852 You won't hear me complaining. |
| 69853 Are you sure, Viconia? |
| 69854 It's about time. I was wondering how long this would take. |
| 69855 No, I don't think the time is right for this yet. |
| 69856 Ah, this time comes sooner than I expected... I have little experience with the gestation period of the avariel. Do not give me that look, <CHARNAME>. Did you really think we were so blind we would not see Aerie's swollen belly beneath her robes? Fortunately, I have prepared some herbs to ease her pain during this coming ordeal. |
| 69857 Ah, this time comes sooner than I expected... I have little experience with the gestation period of the avariel. Do not give me that look, <CHARNAME>. Did you really think we were so blind we would not see Aerie's swollen belly beneath her robes? Fortunately, I have prepared some herbs to ease her pain during this coming ordeal. |
| 69858 This is so exciting! Here, let me help. I have a little experience with childbirth... though not much. |
| 69860 This is so exciting! Here, let me help. I have a little experience with childbirth... though not much. |
| 69861 What do you mean, "am I sure"? You know that physical intimacy does not carry the emotional baggage for me as it might for you or other surfacers. |
| 69862 So the wingless one is pregnant? I thought she was merely becoming fat. |
| 69863 All right, then. Just making sure. |
| 69864 Sounds good to me, then. |
| 69865 That's just it, though... perhaps the time isn't right just yet. |
| 69866 Mmmm, yes, you have always shown enthusiasm for this part of our relationship. Let's see if you can translate that into a level of exertion that will please me, my mrann d'ssinss... |
| 69867 Huhâ€â€I thought ye flyin' elves hatched yer young from eggs! Achâ€â€'tis too bad... I fancied an omelet this morning! |
| 69868 You... you are with child, Aerie? But... but you are not married! This child will be a bast... |
| 69869 Don't even go there, Anomen! |
| 69870 You... you are with child, Aerie? But... but you are not married! Unless we sanctify your union with <CHARNAME>, this child will be a bast... |
| 69871 Good. I did not think this would be a problem, jaluk. To my people, the act of intimacy is a source only of pleasure and not cluttered with associated affections as it is elsewhere. |
| 69872 Don't even go there, Keldorn! |
| 69873 Now you confuse me, jaluk. I am tired, and I lie here willing to become intimate with you, as you so often desire, and yet you choose to pull away. Why? |
| 69874 So... you finally got little Aerie pregnant. About time, if I do say so myself. You two were going at it like a pair of hormonally imbalanced bunnies. I was beginning to wonder if <CHARNAME>'s bow was out of arrows, if you get my drift. It's like the time my cousin Hedgehog... |
| 69875 Don't even go there, Keldorn! |
| 69876 I've changed my mind. Forget what I said. |
| 69877 Don't even go there, Anomen! |
| 69878 I don't think you're ready to resume that part of our relationship, Viconia. |
| 69879 Well, it would seem the leader of our little group has impregnated the impressionable circus child. (And here I thought she was merely getting chubby without the ringmaster's whip to keep her in shape.) |
| 69880 I think we'd be doing it for the wrong reasons. |
| 69881 If we're going to lie together again, Viconia, I want it to be right. |
| 69882 Because I'm tired and not up for your acrobatics, Viconia. |
| 69883 Forget it. I'm not going to get into some long discussion with you about it. |
| 69884 *sigh* Very well, I will not argue with you, wael, even if I do not fully understand. If I did not know you better, I would swear you were more fickle than an over-pampered housecat. |
| 69885 Fine. Do as you wish, iblith. I have little enough desire to argue with you, even if occasionally you are more infuriating than a kobold slave. |
| 69886 I do have... one question... that I would desire an answer to first, <CHARNAME>. |
| 69887 Why do you continue to pursue me? I am a drow. I have treated you poorly and am unfamiliar with your ways. You continue to claim interest in me despite the fact that I am no creature to love. |
| 69888 I think you're wrong. You're the perfect creature to love. |
| 69889 I'm not in love with a drow, I'm in love with you, Viconia. |
| 69890 I obviously think much more of you than you do of yourself. |
| 69891 You're beautiful and sensuous... why wouldn't I desire you? |
| 69892 The sex is great, even if you are a bit harsh at times. I don't mind you at all. |
| 69893 It isn't as bad as you claim, Viconia. You aren't so terrible. |
| 69894 I'm not interested in discussing it. |
| 69895 I'm not interested in discussing it. |
| 69896 Valas |
| 69897 Valas |
| 69898 Hmm. An interesting answer, jaluk. You are full of them, it seems. |
| 69899 Ah. I should have known you would say that, jaluk. I suppose I should not have bothered with the question. |
| 69900 Very well, then. Let us get our coupling completed then, shall we? I still wish to get a decent hour's sleep once my dear ssinssrigg has been satisfied. |
| 69901 Sleep alone then, <CHARNAME>, as it seems you desire to. I swear I shall never understand you. |
| 69902 Mm? What? What is it, jaluk? Why do you persist in glaring at me?! |
| 69903 Don't snap at me, you're the one who's been doing all the glaring. |
| 69904 Knock off the games, Viconia. I haven't the time. |
| 69905 Fine. Wallow in silence then, you moody bastard, since everything is always about you. |
| 69906 I... suppose perhaps that is true. I have been... mulling over a question. |
| 69907 Go ahead and ask. |
| 69908 Ask your question, then, before you drive me nuts. |
| 69909 Oh... he's so precious. Hey, since <CHARNAME> and I are brother and sister, I guess this makes me an aunt! |
| 69910 I haven't the time for questions, Viconia. Let's just keep going. |
| 69911 I've had enough of your questions to last me a lifetime. |
| 69912 You did well, Aerie. He's a fine, healthy-looking baby! Reminds me of the advice me own father gave me about raising kids. Jan, he said, whatever you do... HEY! The little tyke just smiled at me! |
| 69913 Moira |
| 69914 Moira |
| 69915 Very well. You... have the blood of your sire, Bhaal, running in your veins. You told me once that he was the god of murder in your pantheon before he perished, correct? |
| 69916 That's right. |
| 69917 It is equally obvious that the power of this Bhaal is becoming greater within you. I have one question that interests me, then. What is it you feel... when you kill? Does it feel good? |
| 69918 Ah, <CHARNAME>... had you not kept young Aerie's condition secret, I would have composed a sonnet to celebrate this great occasion! |
| 69919 <CHARNAME>, you must be very proud. I was against having children of my own, given my family's cursed bloodline... but if you're willing to give it a try, maybe I should reconsider. |
| 69920 I'm not going to dignify that with an answer! |
| 69921 No. I kill because I have to, and nothing will ever change that. |
| 69922 Congratulations, <CHARNAME>. Soon, this tiny one will be planting his wee feet into the backside of evil, just like his daddy! We should give him a tiny sword to wave at the villains as we battle! Oh... Boo says that may not be such a good idea. |
| 69923 I feel awful every time I'm forced to, actually. |
| 69924 Part of me enjoys it, perhaps, but I deny that part of me. |
| 69925 It does feel good, yes, although I take no pride in that. |
| 69926 Absolutely. I live for the kill... you should know that by now. |
| 69927 Why not? It is a fair enough question. I deserve an answer, jaluk! |
| 69928 Forget it! I'm not talking about it! |
| 69929 I'm not a male you can boss around, Viconia. And I refuse to answer this. |
| 69930 Fine! The answer is no, I hate the killing! Is that what you wanted to hear?! |
| 69931 Fine! The answer is yes, I love the killing! Is that what you wanted to hear?! |
| 69932 So you hear the call within your heart, telling you that the kill is pleasing. But of course you would have the power to deny it, you being <CHARNAME> and all. |
| 69933 Fayanna |
| 69934 Fayanna |
| 69935 An honest enough answer, if a more unsettling one. You hear the siren call of your blood within your heart, yes? And the great <CHARNAME> does not hesitate to step up and answer it. |
| 69936 I suppose that this is a good thing. Were you a weakling who approached <PRO_HISHER> power like a sniveling child, I could never have respect for you. This is good to know. |
| 69937 I think through all the beings that I have killed, and I do not think I have ever felt remorse for any of them. Why should I? They deserved what they received, were in my way, or were simply weak. |
| 69938 Only once has the lure of my blood ever failed me, and it puzzles me still to this day. The... human child that I refused to sacrifice to Lolth's gluttony. The one I spared, losing me in the Spider Queen's sight forever. |
| 69939 That one still confuses me, <CHARNAME>. Where was my drow ruthlessness then? Was I simply weak, and that is why I am here now? |
| 69940 Rowyn |
| 69941 Rowyn |
| 69942 I don't know. You'll have to decide that for yourself. |
| 69943 It certainly didn't help you, that's true. |
| 69944 Everyone is allowed a moment of weakness, Viconia. |
| 69945 You did what you thought was right for once. I'm proud of you. |
| 69946 Evil for its own sake is not an accomplishment, Viconia. |
| 69947 Obviously you were weak. Now let's get going. |
| 69948 I would like to think that's a sign there's a spark of good in you after all. |
| 69949 I suppose you are correct. Let us move on, then, so I may think more on this. |
| 69950 An... enlightened viewpoint, <CHARNAME>. One I am not sure I share. But... perhaps it is time I give the matter some thought. Let us just continue on for now. |
| 69951 Ahhh, I had forgotten such scenes of carnage! And to know that such destruction has been wrought by one who solely sought to seek you out is a glorious tribute to your power! |
| 69952 Think of it, <CHARNAME>... a whole town of rivvin destroyed simply to get to you! Ha ha ha! If anything spoke of your destiny as a being to be feared, this is it! |
| 69953 By Shar, you must seek an unholy vengeance for this! You must smite all your enemies so that your name will be shouted across the realms, <CHARNAME>! Your destiny has arrived! |
| 69954 It is all rather impressive, isn't it? |
| 69955 I agree! Nothing can stop me now! |
| 69956 What are you talking about?! This is all horrible! |
| 69957 That's not my intention at all, Viconia. |
| 69958 And I intend to be by your side, ssinssrigg. I knew that your heritage would ring true one day, I knew it! |
| 69959 And who says you get to be by my side, Viconia? |
| 69960 Perhaps we should wait and see how things work out and not get ahead of ourselves. |
| 69961 Well, I never had any doubt. |
| 69962 Eh? Surely you jest, <CHARNAME>. Do you not wish me by your side? |
| 69963 Always quick to jump on the bandwagon, eh? Well, forget it. |
| 69964 No. It was nice and all that, Viconia, but I think here's where it ends. |
| 69965 All I'm saying is that that decision may not be up to us. |
| 69966 I would have you by my side if I could, but let's just wait and see what happens. |
| 69967 I'm just kidding, Viconia. Relax. |
| 69968 *sigh* True enough. You have waited so long for some form of victory, I just thought we could exult in it for a moment. Must we always be so cautious and contemplative? |
| 69969 Smug bastard. How I adore you when you are like this. Come, then, my potent man... let us be moving onwards. |
| 69970 I see. Viconia is fine until something better comes along, is it? I should have expected as much. Well, you'll not see me crying over you, <CHARNAME>. Let's move on. |
| 69971 I fail to understand, <CHARNAME>. Why does this not please you? |
| 69972 I would never condone such destruction in my name, never! |
| 69973 All this killing is wrong, Viconia. And the fact it's happening because of me is worse! |
| 69974 Has killing *ever* pleased me? What are you thinking?! |
| 69975 I can't believe you would even ask me that! Get away! You disgust me! |
| 69976 Power doesn't automatically equal death and destruction, Viconia. This isn't me. |
| 69977 I don't want to talk about this with you. |
| 69978 You are ever an enigma to me. So be it... I shall be silent on such matters, jaluk, if that is what you truly wish. |
| 69979 Disgust you, do I? Or perhaps you disgust yourself. No matter, iblith... I see I have no place with you. Let us move on before I vomit at your weakness. |
| 69980 Hm... perhaps I did misunderstand your godly heritage, then. I thought it would please you to celebrate this victory... |
| 69981 Well, you were wrong. |
| 69982 Look around you, Viconia. Does this look like a victory to you? |
| 69983 If that's what you think, then we'll never understand each other. |
| 69984 I do not see ugliness where you do, <CHARNAME>. But I will... try to, if that will make you happy. Let us go, then, and leave this place behind. |
| 69985 I asked you once, long ago, what you saw in your future. Now that it has come closer, have you changed your mind on it? Do you even see one for you, for us, hm? |
| 69986 All I know is that I plan on claiming my birthright. |
| 69987 I see myself gaining more power for certain. |
| 69988 I want us to remain together. Everything else is secondary. |
| 69989 I don't want this destiny. If I can go back to a normal life, I will. |
| 69990 I don't know, to be honest. |
| 69991 Alianna |
| 69992 Alianna |
| 69993 Perhaps this is not the best place for this discussion, my lady, but... I must ask. Does it not seem an injustice that even as you vanquish your enemies, others instantly spring up to take their place? Have you no regrets about what has become of your life? |
| 69994 Let them come... I'll crush anyone who gets in my way. |
| 69995 What's the matter, Anomen? I thought you wanted a life of adventure. |
| 69996 Nyalee |
| 69997 Nyalee |
| 69998 I have regrets, my love. But the struggle against evil never ends, Anomen. |
| 69999 Yes, my love... I once yearned to accomplish great deeds and make a name for myself. But have we not done that many times over? Already the bards celebrate our exploits. But we are not allowed to enjoy the fruits of our labor. |
| 70000 This pleases me. I am left to wonder, however, if a time will arrive when there is such a difference between us that remaining together becomes an impossibility. |
| 70001 You speak only the truth, my loveâ€â€as always. I have no doubt in your ability to face your enemies and emerge triumphant. |
| 70002 And so we venture ever onwards, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps it is your destiny to be forever embroiled in conflict and strife. |
| 70003 Does this bother you? |
| 70004 If you are something akin to a greater power, you will no doubt have enemies of an equal magnitude. I do not wish to be the woman you drag with you and are forced to protect. |
| 70005 When you convinced me to spare Saerk's life, you taught me that bloodshed is not always the answer, my love. Yet I am not so naive as to imagine we may set aside our arms in our quest for righteousness. |
| 70006 I see you change each day now, <CHARNAME>. Each day, you become greater and greater and move further beyond my reach. The repercussion of such is a bit... unsettling. |
| 70007 When you convinced me to spare my father's life, you taught me that bloodshed is not always the answer. Yet I know it is naive to imagine we may set aside our blades forever. |
| 70008 I prayed we might find a brief respite from the fighting and enjoy each other's company in a time of peace, my love. But it seems the fates have decreed otherwise. |
| 70009 I see. I wonder if such a decision will be made for you in time. Perhaps a time will arrive where there is such a difference between us that remaining together becomes an impossibility. |
| 70010 It is not that I do not appreciate your change, <CHARNAME>. I exult in your acquisition of power. You grow beyond me, however, and I wonder if I truly have a place in your future. |
| 70011 I hope so. We shall have to see. |
| 70012 At the very least, you could become my first cleric. |
| 70013 If I can, I would prefer to remain with you, Viconia. |
| 70014 I love you, Viconia. Nothing else matters. |
| 70015 Perhaps you are right. There is no place for you. |
| 70016 It is... good that the matter is settled now, then. Let us... continue on with your quest and fulfill your destiny, <CHARNAME>. Only after that may I move on. |
| 70017 Forgive my mood. I did not mean to trouble you with this. Regret is a luxury of the weak. Simply know that I love you, <CHARNAME>, and I will always be by your side... in peace and battle. Come, my lady, let us continue on our journey and speak of this no more. |
| 70018 Hmph. You wish my worship, do you? Perhaps... it might be possible, as much as I am sure the idea offends Shar. It is not my first choice, obviously. |
| 70019 So long as you are not preoccupied on my behalf. I would have you make your choice without the interference of mere affection, <CHARNAME>. Come, let us move on. |
| 70020 You're right, Anomen. Now is not the place for this discussion. |
| 70021 Chyil |
| 70022 I see you change each day, in fact. I wonder... to keep up with you, I would have to be capable of such change as well. Do you see me capable of such change, <CHARNAME>? |
| 70023 Waukeen's Cleric |
| 70024 What kind of change? |
| 70025 No, not really. And I prefer you as you are. |
| 70026 Flatterer. Come, then, my ssinssrigg... let us move onward. |
| 70027 Chyil |
| 70028 I do not know. Perhaps change in the way of finally shaking off the things that made me drow. To respect life as most surfacers, to become... a better person. |
| 70029 I would like to see that. |
| 70031 I wouldn't want you to change. I like you as you are. |
| 70032 Get over it, Viconia. You're talking stupidity here. |
| 70033 I would like to see that. |
| 70034 Master Wraith |
| 70035 Good. The thought was a bit... revolting... on many levels. I am glad you disapprove. Come, then, my powerful jaluk... let us travel onwards. |
| 70036 Master Wraith |
| 70037 ...no. No, I do not think I can change so much, despite my words. I am sorry, <CHARNAME>. Let us... let us just move onwards and forget I said anything. |
| 70038 Then... then I will try. I will try to be a better person, <CHARNAME>. For you. Let us... let us move onwards before I change my mind. |
| 70039 Omar Haraad |
| 70040 Omar Haraad |
| 70041 Ah, my love... your beauty and wisdom are ever shining, an eternal flame for those who would walk at your side. |
| 70042 Thank you, Anomen. To what do I owe this particular compliment? |
| 70043 A lovely sentiment... if somewhat clumsily expressed. |
| 70044 Give it a rest, Anomen. I'm not in the mood for this foolishness right now. |
| 70045 Before we sleep, I have a question that requires your... indulgence. |
| 70046 Fine, go ahead. |
| 70047 Asana Haraad |
| 70048 For you, Viconia, anything. |
| 70049 Asana Haraad |
| 70050 Not now, Viconia. I'm tired. |
| 70051 Do not slither away from me like an eel, <CHARNAME>. You sound like an old woman complaining about her tired bones. |
| 70052 Well, if you're going to insult me, then okay! |
| 70053 I said no, and I meant it! |
| 70054 Hmph. I see this is what our future is to be, is it? My complaining and your avoiding. So be it. I am sure a well-placed mace will crush your skull when you sleep no matter what you become. |
| 70055 Is it foolishness to profess my love? My words may be awkward... I confess I have spent too much time at learning the craft of war and not enough mastering the art of romance. But my inadequacy with words does not belie the sincerity of my feelings. |
| 70056 Very well. What do you think of "love," <CHARNAME>? It is a foreign concept. I wish to understand it further. |
| 70057 I know how you feel, Anomen. You don't have to tell me all the time. |
| 70058 I'm not sure I know any more about it than you do. |
| 70059 I love you. I know that much. |
| 70060 I don't share your feelings, Anomen. You annoy meâ€â€that's all. |
| 70061 Love is when someone else is more important to you than your own life. |
| 70062 *This* is your question? Go to sleep, Viconia. |
| 70063 I... see. Very well. I will take your wishes to heart, my lady, and reserve my words for situations when they are more... appropriate. |
| 70064 I wonder... do I love you, <CHARNAME>? I... I do not know. It is difficult to place myself in such a mindset. All I have ever known is cruelty, hatred, and bigotry for most of my life. |
| 70065 My words may be awkward... I confess I have spent too much time at learning the craft of war and not enough mastering the art of romance. But my inadequacy with words does not belie the sincerity of my feelings. |
| 70066 I know your uncertain destiny must weigh heavily upon your heart, my love, and I merely sensed you were of despondent spirit. My feeble words were meant to comfort you. |
| 70067 Skeleton Assassin |
| 70068 Skeleton Assassin |
| 70069 Bah. I suppose such thoughts are only idle ones and prone to make one weak. I do not wish you second-guessing yourself if you must make a decision in the future, <CHARNAME>. |
| 70070 Promise me that, my mrann d'ssinss. I would rather remember you strong than know that you had given up the promise of true power for some distracting affection. |
| 70071 Very well. I promise. |
| 70072 Believe me, you never had anything to worry about. |
| 70073 I won't promise that, Viconia. You're more than a "distracting affection." |
| 70074 Good. Then I can sleep a little easier tonight. Come, my lover... let me make you happy in the best way I know, at least for this moment. |
| 70075 Flatterer. Regardless, I will sleep a little easier tonight. Come, my lover... let me make you happy in the best way I know, at least for this moment. |
| 70076 Your words are a comfort, Anomen... as is your presence. |
| 70077 But you have made me question so much that I have known. I have been wondering if there has been anyone but you that I have ever cared for more than myself in my life, if I have always been drow or not. |
| 70078 Words are nice, Anomen. But I am more into... physical comforting. |
| 70079 The only one I can think of is... Valas. My poor brother. He saved my life to allow me to escape. I miss his jests and his pranks. I miss the moments we would steal, exchanging stories. |
| 70080 I never allowed myself to think of him when I fled. I simply saw his sacrifice as beneficial for myself. But I... I miss him, <CHARNAME>. I wish he had lived. Is that love, maybe, do you think? |
| 70081 I am at my lady's serviceâ€â€in heart, mind, and especially body. *grin* Your slightest wish is my command. Rest assured that I will prove my fealty this evening, my love. |
| 70082 Yes. |
| 70083 No. |
| 70084 Maybe. It sounds like you cared for him. |
| 70085 With you, it is different. I ache when you are endangered. I long to be with you, and it maddens me when you are not by my side. They are selfish, weak feelings that I want to drive from my heart at moments. |
| 70086 That could be love, I suppose. |
| 70087 I love you too, Viconia. |
| 70088 Do you think it is possible to have feelings like that for many people? That others, many others, are more important than yourself? Do you think this is how the darthiir, the surface elves, how they feel always? |
| 70089 Viconia... you're crying... |
| 70090 I feel... I feel... |
| 70091 I can't put words to it, <CHARNAME>. But it feels *good*, this ache. I don't want to lose it. |
| 70092 What comes next, <CHARNAME>? Is there only companionship? Is there more to this than just a feeling? |
| 70093 What comes next? Marriage. Children. Anything is possible. |
| 70094 I don't know, Viconia. Anything could happen, I hesitate to tempt the fates. |
| 70095 Perhaps you are right, <CHARNAME>. Just hold me, then. I cannot sleep, but I want to feel your warmth close to me. |
| 70096 Marriage? Your people's union of two mates. A promise to remain together. I like the sound of that, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps... once this is over... |
| 70097 Perhaps. We should wait and see. |
| 70098 All right. Let us wait and see. Hold me close, <CHARNAME>. I... do not think I can sleep tonight. I just wish to feel you close. |
| 70099 What are you saying, <CHARNAME>? Have I weakened you, like some disease? Are you going to go soft on Viconia and claim all manner of love for me, hmm? |
| 70100 But it's true, Viconia. I do love you. |
| 70101 Damnable spirit! How dare it utter the virtuous name of my sister! How dare it accuse me of such... such... DAMN THAT GHOST! |
| 70102 Well... I wouldn't go that far. |
| 70103 Sarcasm will get you nowhere. |
| 70104 But it will get *you* straight into bed, will it not? Come, my lover... let me please you, at least for now, in the way I know best. |
| 70105 Anomen, settle down. The thing is gone now, as are its accusations. |
| 70106 Ah. I do not know your "love." I have pondered it of late. I wonder if there has been anyone whose life I have prized over my own. |
| 70107 My love, that creature was a being of pure evil! Everything it said was a lie! |
| 70108 This is a stupid conversation. |
| 70109 It will take more than comforting words to dispel these demons from my past, <CHARNAME>! |
| 70110 It is pointless for me to fawn over such a subject, I suppose. I am tired. Let us go to our bed, then, <CHARNAME>. I will please you as I know best, at least while we can, yes? |
| 70111 Moira is dead, and her death was never properly avenged. In that, at least, the spirit spoke the truth. I failed my sister! I should have tried harder to take her with me when I left our father's house! |
| 70112 Viconia... you're crying... |
| 70113 I don't know. Perhaps. |
| 70114 Why does it matter to you? |
| 70115 We draw close... to the end. Don't we? Very soon now, your final destiny will be in your hands. |
| 70116 Skeleton Mage |
| 70117 Skeleton Mage |
| 70118 Avenging her death will not help your sister, Anomen. It only fools you into believing you have some control over this situation. |
| 70119 Skeleton Cleric |
| 70120 You cannot change the past, Anomen. You cannot bring Moira back. |
| 70121 Skeleton Cleric |
| 70122 She made her own decision, Anomen. You could not make it for her. You can only live your own life. |
| 70123 I... I know Moira is gone. I know there is nothing I can do about it. But it eats at my soul, and it tears at my heart. I failed her, <CHARNAME>! What if I fail you? |
| 70124 You won't fail me, Anomen. You have proven yourself time and time again. |
| 70125 Snap out of this, Anomen. Remember what you told meâ€â€regret is a luxury of the weak. |
| 70126 I... I suppose you are right, my love. Once again, I must beg your forgiveness. I guess... I guess I am not yet at peace with Moira's fate. I will always honor my sister's memory, but I must learn to look to the future. My future. |
| 70127 Yes, my love. The past cannot be changed. And your future is with me. |
| 70128 Perhaps you should go, Anomen. You're of no use to me in this condition. |
| 70129 Yes, very close now. |
| 70130 Karthis al-Hezzar |
| 70132 Karthis al-Hezzar |
| 70133 Good. Then I have only one thing I wish to say to you, my mrann d'ssinss. |
| 70134 Thank you, my lady. Once again, you have shown me the wisest path. I shall not let my past destroy what we have built together. I... I shall be all right. Let us continue with the task at hand. |
| 70135 I want you to be strong. I want you to be merciless. Be the <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder if you must... but bring terror into Melissan's heart. Send her screaming to her death. |
| 70136 You deserve nothing less, and I expect nothing less from you. Whatever comes of me matters not... we shall decide our fate afterwards, if it comes to that. |
| 70137 You... you are right, <CHARNAME>. I cannot let go of my past. I love you, my lady... but until I can resolve these issues, I am more of a hindrance than a help. I cannot allow my personal demons to endanger you any longer. Farewell, my love... perhaps we will meet again someday. |
| 70138 But... in case something unforeseen does occur... let me hold you for one moment, <CHARNAME>. Let us kiss as if for the last time, so that I may remember this even if nothing else... |
| 70139 My lady, I ask a request of you. Though my lips desire to steal a kiss from your cheek, may I instead whisper a matter of grave concern in your ear? |
| 70140 Yes, my smooth-tongued knight? What is it? |
| 70141 I don't really have time for this now, Anomen. |
| 70142 I know there is much that is uncertain in your destinyâ€â€even the gods cannot say what lies ahead for you. For us. Have you given much thought to... our future? |
| 70143 I have, my love. I hope we can stay together forever. Why do you ask? |
| 70144 I haven't given it much thought, my knight. I just take things as they come. Why do you ask? |
| 70145 I'm not sure I see what you're getting at, Anomen. |
| 70146 I do not presume to know what lies ahead, <CHARNAME>. And if it is within my power, I will ever remain by your side. But such choices may not be ours to make, my lady. We are among the most powerful beings to currently walk the realms. |
| 70147 I have far exceeded all but the greatest knights of the Order of the Radiant Heart. With such awesome power comes grave responsibility. I cannot help but wonder what role they could imagine for me when I return. And I fear they will not approve of my relationship with a child of Bhaal. |
| 70148 I have far exceeded even the greatest knights of the Order of the Radiant Heart. Perhaps that is why Helm saw fit to keep me from joining themâ€â€I imagine there is no place within their organization for one as powerful as I have become. |
| 70149 Slave Woman |
| 70150 Slave Woman |
| 70151 All right... |
| 70152 Agh. Get a room. |
| 70153 Yet even unshackled as I am from the restrictions of the Order, I cannot help but feel something is expected of me. Of us. And I fear what is expected will not allow us to continue our relationship. |
| 70154 Must we constantly be treated to such examples of your exhibitionism?! Bah! (Hurrrm... not that I wouldn't take his place if I could...) |
| 70155 Are you... are you saying we should end our relationship, Anomen? |
| 70156 Are you... are you saying we should end our relationship, Anomen? |
| 70157 Har, now! That's the way ye do it! Just don't let 'er swallow yer whole head there, <CHARNAME>! Har har! |
| 70158 Nay, my love... I will hold you close for as long as I can. Forever, if it is possible. But we are now legendary people, and the forces aligning against our relationship are legendary as well. |
| 70159 ...there. Now, my marvelous terror of a <PRO_MANWOMAN>... now we go and finish this. |
| 70160 Gosh. Ya just, um, get right to it in the middle of everything, huh? |
| 70161 We can overcome any obstacle together, my love! |
| 70162 I prefer to enjoy our time together rather than dwelling on what is yet to come. |
| 70163 I pray we will remain together, Anomen... but I cannot deny what my destiny will bring. |
| 70164 Your words are noble, but naive. Our love is everything to me, <CHARNAME>. But what is that in the face of your destiny? You are a shaper of history; perhaps even someday you will become a god. Can you truly say you would give that all up for me? |
| 70165 I... I am not asking you to make a decision, <CHARNAME>. I pray you never have to choose. But I want you to be ready should that decision ever come. I... I should speak no more of this. You alone can decide the path of your future, when the time comes. |
| 70166 It is... something I have never said to you before, because I was unsure if I truly felt that way. I have called you mrann d'ssinss... lover... my ssinssrigg... my love... but these are drow words. |
| 70167 Saying such a thing in drow is a coldness, an injustice, to the true word. And I... I think it is important that I say it to you. At least once. Before this all ends, one way or another. |
| 70168 I love you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 70169 And if this is the last time I see you, know that I will forever be grateful for all that you have done. I will remember you always. |
| 70170 I love you too, Viconia. Now and always. |
| 70171 Berenn |
| 70172 Berenn |
| 70173 Thank you, Viconia. I appreciate the sentiment. |
| 70174 I hope this isn't goodbye... |
| 70175 This is not goodbye. It is just... let me hold you for one moment, <CHARNAME>. Let us kiss as if for the last time, so that I may remember this even if nothing else... |

| 70178 *yawn* My love... what is wrong? Can you not sleep? |
| 70179 I can't help thinking about Saradush. |
| 70180 I was asleep... until you woke me. |
| 70181 I apologize, my love. I thought I heard you whispering. Perhaps you were talking in your sleep, troubled by dreams of Saradush. |
| 70182 The destruction of the town haunts my mind's eye as well, my lady. The screams, the bodies, the heat from the fires driving us back and blistering our skin. The thick veil of choking smoke that blinded our eyes and stung our throats... |
| 70183 Death and suffering on a scale I have never seen before. And yet... and yet I cannot help but feel some small thrill of exhilaration knowing we have survived the carnage. My love, seeing so much death has made me feel... more alive. |
| 70184 I know what you mean, Anomen. It's the thrill of adventuring. |
| 70185 I'm glad you enjoyed it, Anomen. I wonder if the slaughtered townsfolk feel the same way? |
| 70186 You sick bastard! |
| 70187 I do not revel in the deaths of the innocent, <CHARNAME>. But the raw power unleashed on the cityâ€â€did it not make your skin tingle? Could you not feel a charge in the air? |
| 70188 I felt nothing but the cold chill of death, Anomen. |
| 70189 Yes, I... I felt it too. |
| 70190 Your enemies are strong, my love. We have but tasted their power. Power you yourself might one day claim and even exceed. This is truly a dark time, but it is also... intoxicating. |
| 70191 Intoxicating but dangerous, my love. |
| 70192 Finally, you understand what I have felt since learning of my true identity. |
| 70193 You are a twisted monster, Anomen! A bloodthirsty beast! You disgust me! |
| 70194 Of course, there is danger with such intoxication. It can be addictive. We must be careful not to let bloodlust and battle glory blind us to the true horror of what we have witnessed. I suppose that is the sinister seductiveness of power. |
| 70195 Now you understand the dilemma I must face every day. |
| 70196 I am not afraid of power, Anomen... I welcome it! |
| 70197 Truly, my love... I cannot even imagine what this must be like for youâ€â€one who has the power of a god in her veins. I am glad we were able to discuss this, though I feel there is much we both need to think on. |

| 70201 Yaga-Shura |
| 70202 I... I see. I opened myself to you. I shared my troubled thoughts because I thought you could understand. I thought we were two hearts of one mind, <CHARNAME>. I see I was wrong. I shall trouble you no longer. |
| 70203 Death and suffering on a scale I have never seen before. I cannot help but feel we are partly to blame, my love. |
| 70204 We? You mean me, don't you? |
| 70205 This is the curse of my tainted blood, Anomen. You are not to blame. |
| 70206 We tried to help those people, Anomen. We are not to blame for their deaths. |
| 70207 You and I are one, my love. I stand beside you in all things... even this. You are no more to blame than I. And I am no less responsible than you. |
| 70208 As a member of the Order, I have sworn to protect the weak. I have sworn to uphold the law and defend life. And yet, everywhere we go, death and destruction follow. |
| 70209 But does not the destruction make you feel more alive? Does it not invigorate you? |
| 70210 My enemies are powerful, Anomen. And so am I. When the little people get caught between us, they will suffer. |
| 70211 Destruction follows me, Anomen. It is in my blood. You have to learn to accept that. |
| 70212 I have constant nightmares about thisâ€â€a line of bodies strewn behind me as I walk the path of my destiny. |
| 70213 Death is truly a part of you, my lady. I know this. And that is what troubles me. I feel the stir of battle churning my blood. The glory of a defeated foe at my feet thrills me. These feelings are not right, my love. They are dangerousâ€â€as is our own power. |
| 70214 Lieutenant Mage |
| 70215 Lieutenant Mage |
| 70216 Do I scare you, Anomen? Does what I may become scare you? |
| 70217 I am not afraid of power, Anomen. I welcome it. |
| 70218 You are a coward, Anomen! You tremble at the prospect of true greatness! |
| 70220 Lieutenant Fighter |
| 70221 I am no coward, my lady. But I understand that the greatest enemy lies within. Power can be addictive; it can seduce and twist us. We must be ever vigilant to withstand such corruption. |
| 70222 Lieutenant Fighter |
| 70223 And have I not been vigilant, Anomen? I struggle with this every day. |
| 70224 I am aware of the dangers, my love. But with you by my side, I know I shall triumph over them. |
| 70225 You're pathetic, Anomen! Sniveling, weak, and afraid of what my destiny will bring! You make me sick. |
| 70227 But our conversation is keeping you awake. You must rest now, my love. I imagine we have many long days ahead of us. |

| 70232 *sigh* Another awkward silence between us, my love. Iâ€â€I fear I have not the words to entertain and amuse you as a proper courtier should. |
| 70233 The silence didn't feel awkward to me, Anomen. I feel comfortable around you. |
| 70234 You don't have to entertain me, Anomen. You're my lover, not my jester. |
| 70235 Silence can be a good thing, Anomen. Don't ruin it. |
| 70236 Ah, perhaps the problem is mine. I was raised in a culture of chivalryâ€â€romance was an art, a craft of specific forms and patterns. Poetic professions of adoration and flattery were the expected ways for a knight to show his love. |
| 70237 But now I see how hollow and stilted such conversation is. Forced flirtations hardly seem fit for one such as you. You are no mere lady-in-waiting, gossiping and wasting away her days in the courts of the rich. |

| 70239 Beating Heart |
| 70240 I'm glad you noticed. |
| 70241 Beating Heart |
| 70242 Cold Stone |
| 70243 I think there's a compliment in there somewhere. |
| 70244 You are unlike any woman I have ever known, <CHARNAME>. With you, these platitudes of love cannot express my true feelings. And without them... I don't know what to say. I am like a warrior without armor or weaponsâ€â€vulnerable and defenseless. |
| 70245 Just say what you feel, Anomen. Sometimes sincerity is better than poetry. |
| 70246 You don't have to use flowery language to win me, Anomen. You already have me. |
| 70247 You don't have to say anything, Anomen. I know how you feel. |
| 70248 Then... then let me just say I love you, and leave it at that. |
| 70249 *grin* This is much easier, <CHARNAME>â€â€I fear I have been wasting valuable energy in my efforts to elevate my speech to the language of love. Perhaps tonight you will be the beneficiary of my sudden extra reserves... |
| 70250 There... wasn't that simple? |
| 70251 Direct and to the point... I like that. |
| 70252 And really, what more needs to be said? |
| 70253 And I love you, Anomen. |
| 70254 My love, may I speak to you? In private. It is a matter of, uh... of greatest importance. |
| 70255 Of course, my knight. What is it you wish? |
| 70256 Now isn't really a good time, Anomen. Can this wait? |
| 70257 My lady, if I had my choice, I would not do this here. I would wait, and do it properly as tradition dictates. But I fear if I do not act, the opportunity may be lost. |
| 70258 But you have taught me that pomp and ceremony are insignificant beside the honest simplicity of our feelings for each other. I... I love you, <CHARNAME>. I love you deeply. |
| 70259 And I love you, Anomen. |
| 70260 Is there something you are trying to tell me Anomen? |
| 70261 Are you... are you saying what I think you're saying? |
| 70262 I have pledged my love and allegiance to you, my lady. I have sworn to stand by your sideâ€â€whatever may come. And now I wish for the whole world to know how I feel about you. |
| 70263 You deserve more than what I can offer, <CHARNAME>... but even had I the riches of all Faerûn to bestow upon you, it would not be worthy. And so, all I can give you is my heart and my hand. <CHARNAME>... will you marry me? |
| 70264 What? Here? |
| 70265 Marriage? I... I don't know if I'm ready for marriage. |
| 70266 Anomen, my love... of course I shall marry you! |
| 70267 <CHARNAME>! You... you have made me the happiest man in the realms! |
| 70268 I want to have a grand ceremony to celebrate our loveâ€â€a wedding to rival that of the richest noble house of Athkatla! All our friends shall attend and join us in this joyous occasion. |
| 70269 Why so much fuss, Anomen? I'd prefer a simpler ceremony. |
| 70270 We cannot possibly have a wedding nowâ€â€not while the Bhaalspawn are being slaughtered all around us! |
| 70271 Oh, Anomenâ€â€what a glorious idea! |
| 70272 I... I'm sorry, Anomen. I can't marry you. |
| 70273 Of course, it goes without saying that we must finish the task at hand before we can consecrate our love with a marriage ceremony. But until that time, <CHARNAME>, I want you to accept something from me now. |
| 70274 Take this ringâ€â€it was my sister's. I keep it near to remind me of her. It is not much, my lady, but let it serve as a sign of our love and a symbol of our commitment to each other. |
| 70275 As you wish, my love. It... it was wrong of me to ask you to make this decision now. We have much to accomplish before we can truly plan our future together. Much that must be decided. But for now, I have a small token of my affection. |
| 70276 You... you are hesitant, my love. |
| 70277 I love you, Anomen... but I can't marry you. Not while my destiny is yet undecided. |
| 70278 Anomen, I want to be with you forever. We don't need some ceremony to prove our love. |
| 70279 I won't marry you, Anomenâ€â€you're weak, you're whiny, and you're arrogant. |
| 70280 Keep the ring near to your heart, my love. It shall bind us together when the forces of the world try to tear us apart. A single kiss to seal the deal, my lady... |
| 70281 Your lips as ever taste of sweet nectar, and my skin tingles at their touch! Alas, my lady, we must set off again lest the others leave us behind. |
| 70282 Scribe Scrolls |
| 70283 My love, I must talk to you. I sense we are nearing... well, in truth, I do not know. But your destiny fast approaches. I feel an ending is near, a time of great consequence for you... and for us. |
| 70284 Much has happened recently, and I suspect we all know your destiny may transcend any mortal state. <CHARNAME>, you are everything to me... but I fear you may be forced to leave me behind. |
| 70285 Anomen, my loveâ€â€we will be together forever! |
| 70286 I... I hope we may stay together forever, Anomen. But I cannot deny my destiny. |
| 70287 Alchemy |
| 70288 Don't speak of such things, my love. Let us just enjoy what time we have left. |
| 70289 Truly I would like nothing more, my lady. But you cannot pretend things are anything but what they are. |
| 70290 I... I want you to know that I will not stand in the way of your destiny, my love. Our love is the most important thing in my worldâ€â€more important than my family, my honor. Even my childhood dreams to join the Order seem insignificant beside my feelings for you. |
| 70291 But there are things stronger than loveâ€â€even our love. We have both changed, and greater changes are still ahead, I fear. Perhaps... perhaps fate will not grant us a happy ending. |
| 70292 Perhaps, perhaps not. Ah, <CHARNAME>... I am but a fool, struggling against the wisdom of the ages. What do I know? My words are nothingâ€â€they can only cause you distress at a time when you need to be most focused. |
| 70293 You underestimate the strength of our love, Anomen. |
| 70294 You speak as if you already know something about my fate. |
| 70295 Let us... let us speak of this no more, my lady. I had no wish to upset you. Simply know... simply know that I will support you in whatever is to come. |
| 70296 This potion can be used only by Thieves or Bards. When a giant strength potion is consumed, the individual gains great strength and bonuses to hit and damage while using any hand-held or thrown weapon. The effect lasts for 2 hours.

| 70297 Magic Flute |
| 70298 Magic Flute This ability creates a magic flute made of pure magical energy. When played, the flute can be used to cast the following spells: Resist Fear (Party) – 1 charge Globe of Invulnerability – 1 charge Delayed Blast Fireball – 3 charges The spell-like abilities on the Flute are used in the same way that a wand's powers are used. The Flute lasts for 1 day. |
| 70299 Alchemy With cleverness innate to the class, an experienced rogue has seen enough potions in his or her adventuring career to simulate the creation of one. With the Alchemy skill, the rogue can create one of eight types of potions once per day. The potions a rogue can create are randomly chosen from the following list: 1) Potion of Master Thievery 2) Potion of Perception 3) Potion of Extra Healing 4) Potion of Superior Healing 5) Potion of Regeneration 6) Antidote 7) Oil of Speed 8) Potion of Frost Giant Strength (only useable by Thieves or Bards) |
| 70300 Scribe Scrolls This ability allows a rogue to create low- and mid-level spell scrolls. The scrolls that the rogue can create are randomly chosen from the following list: 1) Magic Missile 2) Haste 3) Fireball 4) Dispel Magic 5) Dire Charm 6) Invisibility 7) Cone of Cold 8) Monster Summoning II 9) Monster Summoning III Requires: Use Any Item |

| 70309 Whirlwind Attack This ability allows the warrior to unleash a flurry of super-fast blows. The ability sets one's number of attacks per round to 10, but one's THAC0 and damage suffer a 4 point penalty. The Whirlwind Attack lasts for one round. |
| 70310 Greater Whirlwind Attack A more powerful version of the Whirlwind Attack, Greater Whirlwind gives the warrior the same bonuses without penalties. Their number of attacks per round are set to 10 for one round. Requires: Whirlwind Attack |
| 70311 Deathblow The Deathblow ability allows the warrior to blow through the defenses of any lesser creature. For the next 2 rounds, any creature of 10th level or lower is instantly killed when struck by the warrior. |
| 70312 Greater Deathblow Like Deathblow, this ability allows the warrior to vanquish lesser foes with a single blow. For the next 2 rounds, any creature of 12th level or lower is instantly killed when struck by the warrior. Requires: Deathblow |
| 70313 Resist Magic This ability allows the warrior to temporarily tap a great inner strength and fight off the effects of malevolent magic. For 4 rounds, the warrior's Magic Resistance is set to 50%. This is not cumulative with other forms of Magic Resistance, so if the warrior already has 50% Magic Resistance or greater, the ability is useless. |
| 70314 Critical Strike A high-level warrior's intimate knowledge of vital spots on opponents allows <PRO_HIMHER> to, once per day, concentrate all of the attacks in one round to strike a vital area every time. With this ability, every attack roll made in the next round is a natural 20, a critical hit. Requires: Power Attack |
| 70315 Power Attack A Power Attack allows the warrior to strike blows so forceful that they stun an opponent for 2 rounds if the opponent fails a Save vs. Death at a -4 penalty. The ability lasts for 2 rounds. |
| 70316 Hardiness Calling upon hidden reserves of strength during times of danger, a warrior can use the Hardiness ability to gain 40% resistance to all forms of physical damage. The ability lasts for 1 round for every 2 levels of the warrior. This ability does not stack with Defensive Stance. |
| 70317 War Cry With a War Cry, the warrior emits a powerful and frightening yell that will panic all opponents in a 30-ft. radius if they don't make their Save vs. Spell. |
| 70318 Smite With the Smite ability, the warrior gains the ability to strike a mighty blow, knocking an opponent back for a considerable distance and stunning the opponent for 1 round. All attacks made in the first round are critical hits. The ability lasts for 2 rounds. Large creatures such as a dragons or giants will not be knocked back or stunned. Requires: Power Attack, Critical Strike |

| 70349 Welcome to the temple of Waukeen, supplicant. Is there something that I can do for you? |
| 70350 I thought Waukeen was dead. How can you still worship her? |
| 70351 Lies and rumors spread by the faithless, my <GIRLBOY>. She is simply missing. Tymora, the goddess of luck and fortune, grants power to myself and my acolytes in Waukeen's steadâ€â€but we true believers know our true mistress will return soon. |
| 70352 Ah, Melissan. I know the lady, but I have not seen her in some time. She used to be here quite frequently and often stayed as a guest of Balthazar and his monks. |
| 70353 I have faith, child. And that is more than enough for most here in this town, you will see. |
| 70354 What can you tell me about Balthazar and the monks of the monastery? |
| 70355 I have little good to say about them! Once, the monks cared for the people of Amkethran, helping them to survive in the harsh desert. But since Balthazar took over, things have... changed. |
| 70356 Suddenly, the monastery is more concerned with gathering mercenaries than looking after the people who have come to depend on it for survival. Balthazar is preparing for war, but he is neglecting his true responsibilities. |
| 70357 But I should not say more. For the sake of the townsfolk, I cannot risk angering Balthazar or his followers lest Amkethran suffer even more. Is there something else I can do for you, my <GIRLBOY>? |
| 70358 I thought Waukeen was dead. How can you still worship her? |
| 70359 I'd like to see your services. |
| 70360 Of course. The Waukeenar are always willing to serve... at a fair and honest price, of course. |
| 70361 I'll be on my way. |
| 70362 May fortune seek you, child. |
| 70363 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 70364 I'll be on my way. |
| 70365 What can you tell me about Balthazar and the monks of the monastery? |
| 70366 I'd like to see your services, please. |
| 70367 Nothing. I'll be going. |
| 70368 I'm looking for a woman named Melissan. |
| 70370 I'm looking for a woman named Melissan. |
| 70371 I'm looking for a woman named Melissan. |
| 70372 In fact, there are those who blame Melissan for the misfortune that has befallen our town. Some feel she is the one who convinced Balthazar to turn his back on us to serve some... other... purpose. |
| 70373 But I lay the blame for what has happened with the monastery at Balthazar's feet. He is the one who makes the decisions there, not Melissan. Is there anything else I can help you with, my <GIRLBOY>? |
| 70374 Can you tell me anything about Balthazar and the monastery? |
| 70375 I thought Waukeen was dead. How can you still worship her? |
| 70376 May I see your services? |
| 70377 I think I'll be going now. |
| 70378 Well, that's hardly the kind of gratitude I would have expected! Sometimes, helping people just doesn't seem worth the effort. |
| 70379 Truly, captivity has not tamed this shrew! Perhaps there is an idea for a play in this... |
| 70380 The lass shoulda known better than to get between a mercenary and his coin! |
| 70381 I sympathize with this man, but his daughter did break the law. |
| 70382 Stealing isn't right, but she couldn't just let those people starve! |
| 70383 I bet the front gate isn't the only way in, <CHARNAME>. Even Candlekeep had some hidden back doors. |
| 70384 <CHARNAME>, I can tell just by looking at the defenses of that stronghold that a direct assault would be pointless. |
| 70385 The butterfly who smashes <PRO_HISHER> head against the rock is far less happy than the one who waits for the flower to open with the dawn. |
| 70386 I know our mission is of great importance, <CHARNAME>, but I do not approve of dealing with these... criminals. |
| 70387 <CHARNAME>, no doubt there are numerous items of powerful magic within this cache, lifted from the simian brutes that have overrun the town. (Though I will not be so foolish as to take my hand from my own valuables while we are here!) |
| 70388 The fact that these men know you by mere sight worries me, <CHARNAME>. Tread with careâ€â€our every move is being closely watched. |
| 70389 Look, Booâ€â€everyone knows <CHARNAME> now! See how <PRO_HISHER> fame spreads like a scented cloud from your furry backside when you have had one too many crackers! |
| 70390 Recognized by strangers in the streetâ€â€the ravens must already sing poems of your exploits, my friend. Soon, you will be the most famous <PRO_RACE> in the realms... if you survive, of course. |
| 70391 See the markings on this rivvil, <CHARNAME>? I have seen the Handmaidens inflict similar defilements on their victims. His death is most permanentâ€â€and his last moments most unpleasant. |
| 70392 Look at those horrible marks on his body! They've defiled him... even if I wanted to, I don't think I could help this poor man. |
| 70393 A shame the manner of this man's death prevents us from restoring him to lifeâ€â€my interrogations could have brought us much information! |
| 70394 Wealth |
| 70395 I wonder, <CHARNAME>... was that monk a captured spy, or was he here for some other reason? I guess we'll never knowâ€â€a death that awful can't be undone. |
| 70396 Hit Points Lowered |
| 70397 Set Spike Trap This ability allows the rogue to set a powerful spring-loaded spike trap that does 20d6 damage to the unsuspecting creature that sets it off. |
| 70398 Set Exploding Trap This ability allows the rogue to set a powerful trap that unleashes a fireball which causes 10d6 damage (Save vs. Spell for half damage) and will knock its victims off their feet. |
| 70399 Set Time Trap This ability allows the rogue to set a magical trap that casts a weaker version of the high-level Time Stop spell. For 10 seconds, the flow of time slows for all but the rogue. Often, a rogue will use this trap to get behind an opponent for a free attack. |
| 70400 Evasion A rogue's natural sense of preservation becomes heightened with the use of the Evasion ability. Evasion gives a bonus of 4 to AC and 2 to all Saving Throws. The effect lasts for 3 rounds. |
| 70401 Greater Evasion A more powerful version of Evasion, this ability improves Armor Class by 6 and Saving Throws by 3. In addition, Greater Evasion allows the rogue to move so quickly that <PRO_HISHER> movement rate is increased by 2 (base is 10) and normal missiles have no chance of striking <PRO_HIMHER>. Greater Evasion lasts for 5 rounds. Requires: Evasion |
| 70402 Use Any Item Rogues take pride in their ability to adapt and make clever use of whatever is at hand. This ability is an extension of that basic skill. Once learned, the effect is permanent. The ability allows the rogue to use any item, even items that are typically restricted to one class. This allows the rogue to use everything from wands and scrolls to mighty weapons that none but a warrior could otherwise use. |
| 70403 Assassination Using every clever trick an experienced Thief has learned in countless battles, this ability allows every strike in the next round to act as a backstab, using the Thief's existing backstab modifier to determine damage. |
| 70404 Avoid Death With extraordinary effort, a high-level rogue can avoid almost certain death. The effect lasts for 5 rounds, and during this time, the rogue's Save vs. Death receives a bonus of 5, Hit Points are increased by 20, and the rogue becomes immune to death magic. |
| 70405 Enhanced Bard Song This is a powerful aid to both the Bard and to <PRO_HISHER> allies. The song gives the Bard <PRO_HIMHER>self a 10-point bonus to <PRO_HISHER> Armor Class and a 10% bonus to <PRO_HISHER> Magic Resistance due to the power of the song. The song also gives <PRO_HISHER> allies +4 to hit; +4 to damage; -4 to Armor Class; immunity to fear, stun, and confusion; +5% Magic Resistance; and immunity to normal weapons. This ability replaces the current Bard Song. |

| 70407 Demilich |
| 70408 Such foul treachery from those who claim to revere the Watcher demands harsh and swift punishment! |
| 70409 Odren and his followers deserve to die for this betrayal! Their actions are a disgrace to all who follow Helm's teachings! |
| 70410 I've no objection to testin' me mettle against a demon prince, <CHARNAME>â€â€though ye should make sure the reward be worth the trouble! |
| 70411 A demon prince is not to be taken lightly, <CHARNAME>... perhaps it would be best to seal this creature in its prison without facing its wrath. |

| 70414 What a gruesome fate! It's madmen like Carston that give all us magic-users a bad name. |
| 70415 Give an ape a few spells, and he thinks himself worthy to experiment with every legendary artifact he stumbles over! (Had I been the one to find the marvelous machine, rest assured the results would have been far different.) |
| 70416 Just another wizard lusting after power... and not caring who gets killed in the process. I've seen this far too often to be surprised anymoreâ€â€but it still disgusts me! |
| 70417 What a gruesome fate! It's madmen like Carston that give all us magic-users a bad name. |
| 70418 Your hand sinks into the stone column as if it were air, the surface rippling around it. A moment later, your hand closes around a solid object and quickly pulls it out. |
| 70419 The rock is solid. You can do nothing to it. |
| 70420 Would that all my audiences were as patient as you! There is little worse than hearing the shuffling of feet as the uncouth louts head for the exits while the performance is but a few hours old! |
| 70421 I'm not sure whether to be impressed by your unshakeable devotion to duty or appalled at your complete lack of initiative. |
| 70422 See that, <CHARNAME>? You just can't reason with the gith. Must be something to do with those spelljammer ships they ride around inâ€â€gives them extraplanar cabin fever. This reminds me of the time I was selling astral turnips on the outer planes. Opened a little shop with a garden in the back. |
| 70423 Astral turnips are very tasty, let me tell youâ€â€but not too filling. My crop could barely keep up with the demand. One morning, I was sitting down to a nice turnip porridge breakfast when I was interrupted by a herd of githyanki barging through my door. Seems they had an interesting offer for me... |
| 70424 The torches have been lit correctly, and the door opens with a boom. |

| 70427 Now's not the best time, Jan. I think we've got a fight on our hands. |
| 70428 Ah, true enough I suppose. Remind to finish this story later... truly one of my best. |
| 70429 Babbling ceasesâ€â€blades bring silence! Attack! |
| 70430 Shut your mouth, gnome! There's killing to be done, and your windbag words are distracting me! |
| 70431 Too much talk, not enough fight! |
| 70432 Stow it, ye runty windbag! I can't hear the dying screams of me enemies if ye're prattlin' on! |
| 70433 Save your story, Jan. Now is the time to let our blades speak for us. |
| 70434 Such honor, <CHARNAME>â€â€even death cannot break the vow of this noble knight! Perhaps someday we ourselves will be as worthy as he! |
| 70435 I suspect this apparition's sense of duty is going to make our task more difficult. |
| 70436 No doubt this spirit's misguided sense of duty will make our task more difficult. |
| 70437 Why do I get the feeling this ghost's sense of duty is going to make things harder for us, <CHARNAME>? |
| 70438 Did I not tell you, <CHARNAME>? Duty gets in our way once more! |
| 70439 As I feared, <CHARNAME>... we must prove our worth to this spirit before we can complete this quest. |
| 70440 Sarevok! By the sacred oaths of Silvanus, is there no end to you?! Must your foulness be stamped out only to return evermore? What can you want with us?! |
| 70441 Eh? He is like bad penny, this one. An armored, deep-voiced penny of most sinister evil! |
| 70442 Ahhh... I knew this was coming! Everybody's always giving us tests, challenges, and trials. You'd think someone would trust us just on reputation by now! |
| 70443 Sarevok! What are you doing here?! Get away from us! |
| 70444 Oh, it is *you* again. Well, I suppose it holds true that a good villain never knows how to die properly the first couple of times, yes? |
| 70445 Silence. I have waited for <CHARNAME>, and my words are for <PRO_HIMHER> only. |
| 70446 Sarevok?! Didn't I kill you for the last time in Hell? |
| 70447 Where am I, Sarevok? Why have you brought me here?! |
| 70448 Eh? Why do you address me as such, beholder? You have a most peculiar attitude... I shall have to report it to the mistress soon. |
| 70449 Oh, never mind that. I always wanted to say that, and there you go getting all upset. I just had a comment here, before this Bhaalspawn squashes you into so much mush. |
| 70450 Hmph. That may not necessarily happen. |
| 70451 Uh... yes. Anyhow, on the off chance that you *do* manage to kill the Bhaalspawn, won't Sendai just go to the matron mothers and take all the credit for her greedy little self? |
| 70452 There is a large keyhole in the pedestal next to the seal. |
| 70453 The key turns easily. This lock is now open. |
| 70454 Hey... aren't you the spectator beholder from the sahuagin city? |
| 70455 Hey... didn't I kill you in the sahuagin city? |
| 70456 Well, yes. Can't say I cared overmuch for that, although you *did* release me from one of the most boring tasks in Creation. Can't keep a good beholder down, I guess, eh? Heh heh. |
| 70457 That's me. And can I say again thank you for releasing me from one of the most boring tasks in Creation? These drow will just never learn. |
| 70458 How is it that you didn't die with the drow? |
| 70459 Then it is time for me to kill you again, evil beast! |
| 70460 I suppose not. What are you going to do now? |
| 70461 How is it that you didn't die with the drow? |
| 70462 Enough! I cannot let you continue to live, foul beast! |
| 70463 I suppose. What are you going to do now? |
| 70464 I see. So what are you going to do now? |
| 70465 Oh, you know. Find the nearest hive. Check out the ladies. The usual. You? |
| 70466 The same. |
| 70467 I'm killing drow, I think. |
| 70468 Looking for power. |
| 70469 Fighting for my life. The usual. |
| 70470 Just get out of here. |
| 70471 Right. Don't take it personally, but I've got to go. Nature calls and all that. Just don't collapse the whole roof until after I'm gone, if you'd be so kind. |
| 70472 *snort* I kin just imagine the kind o' deal yon laddie has in store for ye, <CHARNAME>. I've made a deal or two o' that sort meself. |
| 70473 A deal? Be careful, <CHARNAME>. There is no telling what kind of deal may be offered by the dead... and this is no ordinary ghost, now, is it? |
| 70474 A deal? Well, spank me silly and call me a rutabaga. This fellow must be some kind of merchant indeed to still be bargaining long after he's dead. Sounds a bit like ol' Uncle Salebottom. "Jan, my nephew," he boasted one day, "I'm going to continue making money long after I'm dead!" And he did, too. Ten gold apiece for each of his fillings and twenty for his left foot. Don't ask. |
| 70475 An admirable effort, if wasted. Without immortality, it will only be a quick trip to return to the grave. Even quicker if <CHARNAME> gives the word, perhaps. |
| 70476 Sarevok lives again? A foul act that spits on everything that is natural! I know you have your reasons, <CHARNAME>, but I... I will never agree with this. |
| 70477 Not truly dead, not truly alive. This... this *thing* is an abomination, <CHARNAME>. It is not even undead. I hope you know what you are doing. |
| 70478 You... you were unsure?! How *dare* you place <CHARNAME>'s immortal soul at risk for your gain! I should kill you for such an affront! |
| 70479 So you did not know... and you put the life of my love at risk! How dare you, vile beast! |
| 70480 So... then you didn't even *know* if this would work! You... you could have killed <CHARNAME>! How *dare* you put <PRO_HIMHER> at that kind of risk! |
| 70481 A foolish gamble, iblith. Had you caused harm to this one... not even your time in Hell would compare to the sufferings I would have visited upon you. |
| 70482 You... you bring such an animal amongst us without any sort of restraint? I am... uncomfortable with such an arrangement. How can you trust this man? |
| 70483 Bring him if you wish. It is your mistake to make. I refuse to acknowledge his existence. |
| 70484 So... the brother joins us unfettered? A clever gamble, my raven. Perhaps it will pay off; one can never foretell, hm? |
| 70485 Well, if he can carry his weight in battle as well as he looks, I have no problem with it. Let's just go... this *place* worries me far more than this Sarevok of yours. |
| 70486 None may enter! |
| 70487 The Evil must not be freed! |
| 70488 Aye, as you wish, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. Remember... the challenge must be faced in that cavern. You may need to summon more aid from the spirit. |
| 70489 Even bound by an oath, I do not trust such a creature, <CHARNAME>. He will turn on all of us sooner or later, mark my word. |
| 70490 And so it comes full circle once again, your brother avowed to stand by your side. Very appropriate, I would think. |
| 70491 I'd suspect that Sarevok tells the truth. About the power of an oath spoken to you in this place that you created, at any rate. I think we can trust him... for what it's worth. |
| 70492 Okay, okay, so the monkey has his collar. Can we go now?! |

| 70500 There is... something here, <CHARNAME>. Something I cannot quite put a name to. It is unsettling, but I... I do not think it is evil. |
| 70501 I sense something here. A... presence. It's so powerful! So powerful, I can't sense anything else about it at all! Baervan preserve us! |
| 70502 Best be wary, <CHARNAME>. There is a presence that fills this room that I can tell little about. Ancient. Powerful. Evil? I... do not think so. |
| 70503 There is... something in this place, abbil. A most disturbing presence. Walk carefully and trust nothing. |
| 70504 You wish to trick the Knights of the Vigil? I... they may have double-crossed us, I do not question your suspicion... but to lead them here to be slaughtered? Do they deserve that fate? |
| 70505 I have no wish to trick Odren despite what he may or may not have done. I suggest we speak to him, if nothing else, rather than... comply with this "thing." |
| 70506 Aha! We add deception upon deception now. So the plot thickens, my raven... I cannot wait to see what occurs next. |
| 70507 That is unworthy of you, Haer'Dalis. The lives of men hang in the balance. |
| 70508 People could die because of this, and you joke?! |
| 70509 I would expect that you would treat the lives of those who may be affected by this decision with a bit more weight, bard. Is it truly such a laughing matter? |
| 70510 Men die, as they always will, my dear. Whether they die now at our word or elsewhere, without my own eyes to witness, it makes little difference. Think of it what you will. |
| 70511 This is what comes of trusting those Helmite fools. I have little doubt this... "presence"... speaks the truth. What has it to lose? |
| 70512 Oooo, I have a bad feeling about this... |
| 70513 The Knights of the Vigil would... never do such a thing as it suggests. Let us leave now and prove it wrong, <CHARNAME>. |
| 70514 Very helpful now, Imoen. Perhaps you could have expressed your keen intuition a little earlier. |
| 70515 *Now* she has a bad feeling. I see the Bhaal blood within her has suddenly gifted the brat with the miraculous powers of precognition. Let us be careful, friends, now that we have her warning! |
| 70516 Oh, you have a bad feeling now, do you? It's a little late for that. It may be a little late for anything. |
| 70517 I didn't see *you* piping up with any useful information either, so keep your big yap shut! Jeez. Let's just go and try to find a way outta here, okay? |
| 70518 I have heard of your Order. If you are unable to do as Helm has asked... that must be a cause for great sadness and concern, I would imagine. The god of duty asks much of his followers. |
| 70519 Unable? This must be a cause of concern, then, for the Watcher god is unforgiving to those who do not perform as he requires. |
| 70520 This must be no pleasant prospect when the god of duty has asked something of you. |
| 70521 So go into yon dungeon and clear it out yerselves, ye blasted sissies! What good are ye, anyway?! |
| 70522 So enter the dungeon and do as you must. Kill. What is so difficult? |
| 70523 Unpleasant as the task might be, my friend, the solution seems simple enough. Can you not merely enter the dungeon and begin the task of clearing its many horrors? |
| 70524 Interesting. A god was forced to deal with your Imprisoned One? No ordinary apparition, this. |
| 70525 This simple band, though not of great material value, is a Delryn family heirloom. Once worn by his dear sister Moira, Anomen has given this ring to you as a symbol of the love you share. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 70526 Helm dealt with it personally, eh? That's surprising, since the last time Helm dealt with anything personally was waaay back when he was forced to make himself a sandwich. Those gods, I tell you, they expect to be waited on hand and foot. Heaven forbid the butler take a break. But anyway... this story has more to do with how the Anauroch Desert was formed than what you're talking about, so we'll put it aside for now. |
| 70527 Hm? The greater powers do not do anything themselves without great need. Whatever is trapped here, it must be a fearsome foe indeed. |
| 70528 So ye sent us in to be torn t' bloody chunks?! I'm tempted to show ye how we treated yer sorry demon! <CHARNAME>, let's hack this sot apart and be done with 'em all! |
| 70529 You abused us sorely, priest. You sent us in as your sacrificial lambs and didn't even warn us. I would not be surprised if <CHARNAME> ended your life as a result. |
| 70530 We have been betrayed after all! Even Boo cannot believe this. Look at his tiny head shaking in disbelief. Or maybe he is cold. No... definitely disbelief! |
| 70531 I am disappointed in you, Brother Odren. You knew this all along. You expected us to die in that place, to be sealed within forever performing your own duty. |
| 70532 You should be ashamed of your actions, priest! You knew what we would face all along! |
| 70533 I always look for the best in people, but this is too much. You *knew* what we would face. You tricked us, you of all people! |
| 70534 I don't believe it! You knew about Demogorgon! You sent us in there to be trapped forever! |
| 70535 "Your foolishness can be forgiven"? Hmph. He's just askin' for trouble now. |
| 70536 Hmph. (*grumble* *grumble*... I haven't been talked t' like I were a wee stupid babe except by the last bloke I bloody well beheaded...) |
| 70537 Oh, why yes, THANK YOU for your gracious forgiveness for our GRIEVOUS error. (Let's see... one good fireball... no, make that two... plus a horrid wilting spell, yes, yes...) |

| 70539 Oh, Brother Odren... I cannot believe that a fellow Helmite would fall so far as believe that any other person was expendable for the sake of avoiding his own duty. For shame! |
| 70540 So we were to be sacrificed because you were too lazy and weak to do your own task? I say kill him now, <CHARNAME>. Kill them all and let them consider it a lesson learned for crossing you. |
| 70541 You may feel pity for yourself and justify your failure however you wish, Odren, but you attempted to murder us. I am surprised Helm does not turn away from you for such an affront. |
| 70542 Not all of us be primes, my fair cambion. Some of us be only visitors to this wondrous place. |
| 70543 I wouldn't know about "wondrous," but 'tis fair enough... for what little I have seen. Hmm... a tiefling, is it? You remind me of an actor I once saw, in a play, in a dream. |
| 70544 And you remind me of a remarkably pleasant fellow named Aesgareth, so unlike the usual child of a fiend. But my fellows would not know of you, of course. Perhaps an introduction is in order? |

| 70549 Ah, yes. Aesgareth is well known amongst certain circles as being most fascinated by his gambling pursuits. Above even interest in his own health, my raven... 'tis a most unhealthy thing. |
| 70550 So he wants to play a game? Minsc and Boo are fond of all sorts of games, although Boo is far better at the ones that need strategy. I am sad to say that I am far better at straightforward butt-kicking. |
| 70551 Uh-oh. You've *got* to be asking yourself what the stakes would be in a game some demon would want to play with you. Wouldn't you? |
| 70552 Do not wet yourself, iblith. I have no inclination of hurting you. If you... I said stand still! Be still, I say! Calm yourself or I shall give you a reason to cringe! I have questions! |
| 70553 Oh, you poor, poor man! It's all right... I won't hurt you, I promise. I'm not a demon, honestly. |
| 70554 Quiet the madness in your mind, elf. I can only imagine the horrors your eyes have seen... but I ask you to look closely at me. I am no demon, I swear by Torm's name. |
| 70555 Well, it's <CHARNAME>'s doing, of course. Everyone knows <CHARNAME> and has been waiting for <PRO_HIMHER>. It's not like we're surprised by this anymore, you know. |
| 70556 Careful, <CHARNAME>. This old woman is no ordinary hermit... I can sense her power even from here. Perhaps she can help us, but be cautious still. |
| 70557 The old hag smells like dirty laundry! Bah! Why must we always trudge through filth to reach the diamond?! Anyhow... through all that stench, she's got power. Nothing I would touch, but power nevertheless. |
| 70558 Ironic... the witch has her heart returned only to find compassion for her deadly son. Oops, here she goes... |
| 70559 Well, there's a bit of irony for you, my raven. We return her lost heart, and with it she rediscovers love for her traitorous son. I'd weep at the sentiment... if, ah, we weren't about to cross swords... |
| 70560 It figures. Crocodile tears. Let's tear that useless thing from her chest again and be done with it! |
| 70561 I don't understand. The witch has her heart back... why is she not nicer to us? What? Oh... yes, I see. Uh-huh. Thank you, Boo. Boo is so smart. |
| 70562 Aha! More mortal "adventurer" fools to add to my collection! Go, my slaves... gather the pretties for me! |
| 70563 Run, fools! |

| 70671 There is no reason to be concerned. The fate of this fool has been sealed. |
| 70672 But can we be so sure? |
| 70673 This spawn of Bhaal is doomed. There is no escape... |
| 70674 The Lord of Murder shall perish, but in his death he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny. Chaos shall be sown in their footsteps. So sayeth the wise Alaundo. |
| 70675 You spent your youth in the library fortress of Candlekeep, under the kind tutelage of your foster father, Gorion. |
| 70676 Imoen shared this home. A kindred spirit, her background was as mysterious as your own. |
| 70677 Gorion's murder brought answers to your questions when his killer, Sarevok, was revealed to be your brother. |
| 70678 Diaytha |
| 70679 You and Sarevok were a product of the Time of Troubles, a chaotic period when gods were made flesh and forced to walk the earth. |
| 70680 Diaytha |
| 70681 One such deity foresaw his own death and walked the land before the cataclysm. He left a score of mortal offspring, intended to be the fuel for his rebirth. |
| 70682 The god was Bhaal, Lord of Murder, and you are one of his children. |
| 70683 Sarevok sought a war of sacrifice to prove his worth, believing he could become the new Lord of Murder. |
| 70684 You killed your brother, sending his taint back to Bhaal. You were the hero of Baldur's Gate, but some suspected you shared the same lineage as Sarevok. |
| 70685 You departed soon after, under circumstances much darker than anyone would have believed. |
| 70686 They came as you rested, figures cloaked in mist that clouded your thoughts, blurring the lines between consciousness and dreaming. |
| 70687 There was no malice or hatred, no mention of an old score. Only quick capture and the promise of grim deeds to come... |

| 70767 So before you go stumbling into something you can't handle, you should check out all the libraries. The masters were into some pretty strange stuff... but at least they kept written lab notes of their work. These notes will be invaluable. |
| 70768 Wait, I have some more questions to ask you! |
| 70769 Lazarus Librarus at your service. Welcome to the Arcana Archives. |
| 70770 Can I interest you in my wares? I've got a collection of scrolls most mages would die for! |
| 70771 Let me see what you've got. |
| 70772 I'd like to ask you some questions about this town. |
| 70773 Please feel free to peruse my vast collection of enchanted parchments. And if you see anything you like, I'm sure we can work out a mutually beneficial exchange of coin for the said item. |
| 70774 No thanks, I'll be going now. |
| 70775 Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me. |
| 70776 Sorry... I can't help you there. I only arrived a short time ago, and between restocking my shelves and setting traps for would-be thieves, I haven't even left the building. |
| 70777 Welcome to the newly relocated Arcana Archives. Lazarus Librarus at your service! |
| 70778 Heyâ€â€aren't you the same guy who was selling scrolls back in Saradush? |
| 70779 Saradush... a most unpleasant memory. When that army burst through the gates, I grabbed my inventory and ran for my life. Had to use up some of my own stock to get out of there with my head still attached. |
| 70780 The army was so busy looking for Bhaalspawn to kill that nobody noticed one invisible merchant creeping out the gates. But that's all behind me now, and I'm making a fresh start here in Amkethran! |

| 70787 Deathbringer Assault |
| 70788 When asked about his past, SAREVOK has little to add beyond what you already know. He grew up a homeless urchin in the streets until he was adopted by his foster father into the Iron Throne. He studied the art of intimidation, the cruelest and most brutal styles of combat, in order to become a Deathbringer that could paralyze an opponent in melee through fear alone... as well as sometimes killing the most powerful of opponents in a single, massive blow. Sarevok had an ambition that did not die even when his body did... as you well know now. Sarevok keeps mostly to himself, but at odd moments, you can see him staring in your direction, his face an emotionless mask. Part of you wonders if your brutal half-brother ponders what might have been... |
| 70789 So. You have finally arrived. I have been waiting for you. |
| 70790 They are too strong for me. I cannot continue! |
| 70791 It appears I made the right decision in joining you after all. |
| 70792 Oh, we should kill something soon. My impatience grows. |
| 70793 This is hardly what I expected. If this continues, I see little point in my remaining with your group... we are a poor match. |
| 70794 I can take no more of this! Do what you must; I can bear your presence no longer! |
| 70795 This is how it was meant to be. Let no one bar our path. |
| 70796 Enough. I no longer have immortal energies to sustain me. I... tire. |
| 70797 This is what you consider productive use of our time? Do you prefer we stand around like this often? |
| 70798 Feel my unholy wrath! |
| 70799 Death comes for you, feel its icy breath! |

| 70809 Yes? |
| 70810 *What* do you wish? |
| 70811 Sarevok stands ready. |
| 70812 Do not presume. |

| 70814 I await your command. |
| 70815 I fear nothing. |
| 70817 So be it. |
| 70818 I shall carve a path if need be. |

| 70820 Hmph. Not what I would've done. |
| 70821 So you say. |
| 70822 Consider it accomplished. |

| 70835 I have had enough of... people. They try my patience. |
| 70836 Beware... darkness is murder's most favored companion. |
| 70837 *sigh* Mayhap it is time I thought of leaving. I can almost endure no more of your actions! |
| 70838 Are you sure? I had enough of leadership in the Order. Oh, very well. *sigh* But it's a week vacation for everyone. *chuckle* |
| 70839 A bottle of wine, a blanket, a little music as we rest... are these things too much to ask? |
| 70840 *chuckle* Hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait. Hm. Sounds like my days in the Order. |
| 70841 Helm's fury upon you all! |
| 70842 By skill and might, we shall prevail! |
| 70843 Hmm. I don't think I have ever looked upon the bustle of the city without keeping a watchful eye out for evil. It seems... quieter. |
| 70844 I am ready to act. |
| 70845 Yes? |
| 70846 Of course. |
| 70847 Not a problem. |
| 70848 *chuckle* So long as I never have to breathe the same stuffy air as those rusted suits of armor in the Order... well, I'm with you. |
| 70849 *sigh* You know, there's little point in driving us to the breaking point. We should stop soon. |
| 70850 *sigh* I don't want to be annoying, but... I detest just standing around. |
| 70851 Evil falls today! |
| 70852 If you fight, you die! You cannot match our power! |
| 70853 There is evil here... but there is likely also magic that can help us, I'd bet. |
| 70854 I can assist you. |
| 70855 My magic is at your command. |
| 70856 It can be done. |

| 71028 Two-handed Sword +3 |
| 71029 Also known as the hand-and-a-half sword, the bastard sword derives its name from the fact that it is halfway between the two-handed sword and the long sword. This is a magical bastard sword. STATISTICS: THAC0: +3 Damage: 2d4+3 (slashing) Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Bastard Sword Type: One-handed Requires: 11 Strength Weight: 7 |

| 71032 To enchant a katana is no simple process. Unlike conventional weapons, the katana is already a near-perfect fighting sword. To improve it usually requires a sacrifice; perhaps a dying samurai might beg a Wu Jen to infuse his fighting spirit into the spirit of the katana. The wielder of an enchanted katana, such as this one, must respect the customs of Kara-Tur and of the samurai who once carried this blade into battle. Not doing so could drastically change one's luck for the worse.

| 71033 A derivative of the long sword, the two-handed sword is significantly longer, both in blade and hilt. Its primary function is cleaving mounted knights and breaking up pike formations. This magical version is even more capable of such functions, serving as a fearful reminder of what comes of the union between weapons and sorcery.

| 71035 Dagger +3 |
| 71036 The typical dagger has a pointed, usually double-edged blade, as opposed to a knife, which has a single edge and is a bit shorter. This particular dagger is magical, having special bonuses to its speed, accuracy, and damage. Also, since it is magical, it is capable of striking opponents that are immune to normal weapons, such as vampires, elementals and mummies.

| 71038 Battle Axe +3 |
| 71039 The most common version of the battle axe is a stout pole about four feet in length with a single-edged, trumpet-shaped blade mounted on one end. Battle axes are also called broad axes. Magical battle axes are normally crafted by dwarves to help defend their warriors against their harsher neighbors. This magical axe has seen many battles, but its enchantments and craftsmanship make it a very capable weapon still.

| 71043 Most clubs are stout, hardwood sticks, narrow at the grip and wider at the end. This simple weapon has been used since people first began using tools. Anyone can find a good stout piece of wood and swing it; hence the club's widespread use. This particular club has been magically enhanced.

| 71049 Mace +3 |
| 71050 The mace is a direct descendant of the basic club, being nothing more than a wooden shaft with an iron head mounted on the end. In this case, the head is pyramidal and seems to glow with an inner blue light as it sits atop a polished oak shaft. STATISTICS: THAC0: +3 Damage: 1d6+4 (crushing) Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Mace Type: One-handed Requires: 10 Strength Weight: 6 |
| 71051 Morning Star +3 |
| 71052 The morning star is a wooden shaft topped with a metal head covered by a spiked iron sheath. Morning stars have an overall length of about four feet. Enchantments have made this morning star lighter, faster, and far more deadly than a normal weapon of this kind.

| 71053 War Hammer +3 |
| 71054 Mounted knights cannot effectively use pole arms while on horseback, and as a result, many weapons have been altered so they may be used one-handed. The horseman's war hammer is made entirely of steel and has a shaft about eighteen inches long. Powerful magical energy flows through this weapon, though its origins are nondescript.

| 71055 Composite Longbow +3 |
| 71056 This longbow is marked with the seal of a sunburst. It probably once was a bow used by guards in the service of the god Amaunator. These guards would use the enchanted bows to keep the priests of that long dead faith safe. Few of these bows still exist, so they are sought after by many archers looking to improve both their accuracy and their lethality. This bow requires a Strength of 18 to use.

| 71057 Longbow +3 |
| 71058 The longbow is similar to the shortbow, except that the staff is about as tall as the archer isâ€â€usually six to six-and-a-half feet. It has better range and accuracy than the shortbow, but a slower Speed Factor. The smooth staff of this bow is warm to the touch, just a hint of the energy that surges through the wood. STATISTICS: THAC0: +4 Speed Factor: 4 Proficiency Type: Longbow Type: Two-handed Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 2 |
| 71059 Shortbow +3 |
| 71060 Shortbows were the first bows to be developed, although they were not called such. This is more of a default term that refers to anything which is not a longbow. This shortbow is the rival of any of the larger bows. The magic inherent within it, whether from the wood or the spellcasting of a Mage, makes this bow more accurate than a normal bow.

| 71061 Heavy Crossbow +3 |
| 71062 A crossbow is a bow mounted crosswise on a wooden or metal shaft, the latter called a tiller. The bow is usually made of ash or yew. This particular weapon has been enchanted with an aspect of life from the Plane of Air, harnessed by a master sorcerer. The aspect acts as a guiding hand, directing bolts to strike true and for more damage than normal.

| 71073 Magical slings are the hallmark of stout halfling warriors. Usually their mothers or a talented aunt will create this sling for the halfling lad or lass who is about to embark on their second great adventure. The reason that the sling is given on the second adventure and not the first is that many halflings decide not to pursue the life of an adventurer after getting a taste of it.

If these creations still exist, I should find these notes to discover how I might kill the wizards' pets. |

| 71271 I heard that some of the army outside the walls tried to sneak in that way, and that's why Gromnir had everything sealed up. I... I wouldn't know how to get down there at all... |

| 71364 Hey, nobody's allowed in here but Gromnir's men! |
| 71365 You have about five seconds to slink out of here before I turn my men loose on you! |
| 71366 Get moving, then... I'm already counting those five seconds! |
| 71367 So that's how you want it? Fine by me! Slaughtering civilians is always fun! |
| 71368 I'm sorry... we're not looking for trouble. |
| 71369 I go where I want, when I want! |
| 71370 Gromnir's days of bullying this town are over! |
| 71371 I told you to get out of here! You don't listen so good, do you? Maybe a few extra holes in your head will help your hearing! |
| 71372 Cold Mistress, please release us! |
| 71373 Save us! |
| 71374 We're doomed. |
| 71375 Gromnir does nothing for us. |
| 71376 Come to me. |
| 71377 Only I can save you. |
| 71378 I can release you from your pain. |
| 71379 What do you want? Can't you see we're busy with this cute little lass here? |
| 71380 Good... glad to see you know your place. In this town, we soldiers of Gromnir run the show! |
| 71381 Free me. |
| 71382 Feel the freedom of my cold embrace. |
| 71383 Playtime is over... leave this woman alone. |
| 71384 You're right. I have better things to do than get involved in this. |
| 71385 You vile brutes will apologize to this woman for your crude behavior! |
| 71386 You don't give the orders in this town! We work for Gromnir! |
| 71387 Guess it's time to remind everyone who's in charge around here! |
| 71388 Be not sad, pretty waitress... <CHARNAME> will make them stop. Or else Minsc and Boo will deliver an order of booted butt-stomping to the table of mean, ugly men! |
| 71389 You cretins must apologize for your rudeness, or we shall be forced to defend the honor of this virtuous young maid with all our might! |
| 71390 Courtly chivalry demands that you soldiers apologize to this woman. Your crude suggestions are not fit for the ears of any lady, be she barmaid or noble duchess! |
| 71391 Ye're a pretty one, aren't ya? |
| 71392 Why won't those soldiers leave me alone? *sob* They must enjoy torturing us townsfolk. |
| 71393 Why don't ya come back to the barracks? |
| 71394 Stop being such a priss. |
| 71395 I wish someone would stand up to them... but everyone's afraid of Gromnir. *sniff* I guess I'll just have to put up with it. |
| 71396 Just leave me alone! |
| 71397 Please, I don't want any trouble! |
| 71398 Ye're all a bunch of pansy forest-runners. |
| 71399 Why don't ya go back to yer forest hiding places? |
| 71400 Complain, complain, complain. It's so hard to find good help these days. |
| 71402 I want to thank you for what you did... it's a relief to not have to worry about those soldiers pawing at me anymore. But I better get back to work now. |
| 71403 Gromnir probably didn't mean to invite your kind here. |
| 71404 We shouldn't argue; we're all here together. |
| 71405 What would it take to get you to leave this young lady alone? |
| 71406 Please, let's stop with these pointless insults. |
| 71407 Leave her alone? Tell you whatâ€â€fork over 1,000 gold pieces, and we'll head back to the barracks for the night. |
| 71408 Gromnir has gone insane. He can no longer protect us! |
| 71409 I don't have that much. |
| 71410 I'll give you 500. |
| 71411 Okay, here you go: 1,000 gold. |
| 71412 Forget it! Just leave her alone, or you'll be very, very sorry. |
| 71413 Then we're staying right here. Now shove off and leave us alone. |
| 71414 You've got a deal! Wow... I was just kidding. I never thought you'd have that kind of coin on you! Easiest money we've ever made. Thanks, sucker. |
| 71415 Gromnir's soldiers are nothing but gutter trash! Maybe it comes from spending all that time running around the sewers. |
| 71416 We're just glad to help you out, miss. |
| 71417 Why are Gromnir's soldiers running around the sewers? |
| 71418 Since we helped you out, maybe you can help us get inside Gromnir's castle. |
| 71419 All I know is a few rumors. They say Gromnir locked all the entrances to the sewers because the invaders could come in through them, but I bet you it's because you can enter the castle that way. |
| 71420 Bloody elves smell like leaves all the time! From what I hear, this whole mess is their fault. |
| 71421 I heard the whole mess started when the point-ears in Suldanessellar nearly let the Tree of Life get destroyed! I blame them for my current state! |
| 71422 Them tree-huggers really tangle my beard! I'd like to take 'em all and bury 'em somewhere they'd never be found! |
| 71423 I heard there used to be some underground prison here that they've boarded up fer some reason. Maybe they could reopen that place and stash these elves in there! |
| 71424 We used to be able to rely on the dwarves when we needed help, but that was long ago. Now they treat us as bad as the humans do. |
| 71425 We try being polite, but all those dwarves do is insult us! It's too bad Gromnir's men locked up all the town's sewer grates... |
| 71426 If the sewers were still open, the dwarves could shuffle around those stinky underground tunnels where they belong and leave us fair folk alone. |
| 71427 Please help us. Gromnir's guards just won't leave us alone. I fear this can only end badly. |
| 71428 We don't want bloodshed, but we won't allow these men to defile our women! |
| 71429 Gromnir's soldiers follow us everywhere we go in this city! They won't leave us alone! |
| 71430 We've lost our homes; we have nothing but the clothes on our backs. Haven't we suffered enough? Why do these soldiers torment us? |
| 71431 You got some business with us? Think hard on this, because you don't *want* to have business with us! |
| 71432 Leave these elves alone. They aren't bothering anybody. |
| 71433 I suggest you leave immediately lest I bring justice raining down upon your head! |
| 71434 I just came over to watch the fun. You gonna kill these refugees or what? |
| 71435 Figures... you find elves, you find elf-lovers! Mind your own business, and you won't get hurt. |
| 71436 Hah! I like your style. Right to the point. Well, boys... you heard the <PRO_MANWOMAN>! Let's rid this town of these elven refugee scum! |
| 71437 This is my business... now back off or feel the wrath of a child of Bhaal! |
| 71438 Fine, I don't want any trouble. |
| 71439 You had your chance... now it's killing time! |
| 71440 You must be new here. Well, you're going to learn how things work in Saradush. And it's going to be a hard lesson! |
| 71441 Smart move... now clear out and leave us to our fun. |
| 71442 I can't take any more... I'm done. |
| 71443 Right, then. Move along, soldiers. |
| 71444 Move along, citizen. |
| 71445 <CHARNAME>! I have long suspected you were an evil blight upon the earth... this confirms it! Your villainy shall not go unpunished! |
| 71446 For the sake of what is good and right, your evil must be ended here and now, <CHARNAME>! |
| 71447 <CHARNAME>! You are not the <PRO_MANWOMAN> I thought you were! I... I cannot stay with someone who would urge the slaughter of these helpless refugees. |
| 71448 <CHARNAME>! As a Harper, I cannot condone these horrible acts! I... I can no longer stay by your side! |
| 71449 <CHARNAME>! As a member of the Order of the Radiant Heart, I cannot stand by while you sow evil in your wake. All who oppose evil, join my cause! |
| 71450 It galls me to think those darthiir who scamper away in terror are related to my own kind. |
| 71451 Look at them point-ears run! Move them gangly legs, or the soldiers are gonna get ye! HAR! HAR! HAR! |
| 71452 At last, this simian <PRO_MANWOMAN> who claims to lead us is showing the type of ruthlessness I can respect! (Though <CHARNAME>'s callous disregard for others could prove my own undoing if I am not careful...) |
| 71455 These gravestones appear to have been hastily and recently erected to give the two graves the illusion of being older. Though carefully placed, you note that the sod of the graves was laid to cover the fact that they've been only recently dug. |
| 71460 There are signs of a struggle near these woodcutter carts. Piles of things that may or may not be human remains lie in stinking heaps. Someone was slaughtered here. |
| 71467 Tracking With an intimate knowledge of <PRO_HISHER> surroundings and the creatures that live within them, a ranger can use the Tracking ability to give <PRO_HIMHER>self a general idea of what creatures are in an area and which direction they are. Red arrows at the edge of the screen will point in the general direction of the creatures in the area. |
| 71468 I am not interested in you... |
| 71469 Ahhh, I knew you would turn up here eventually. Volothamp Geddarm, I said to myself, rest assured... wherever history is being made, <CHARNAME> and <PRO_HISHER> companions are close at hand. |
| 71470 Volo? What are you doing here? |
| 71471 Who are you? Do I know you? |
| 71472 I don't have time for this right now. |
| 71473 Of course, I understand completely. I am merely here to record history, not interfere with its progress. I wouldn't dream of slowing down the mighty <CHARNAME> as <PRO_HESHE> shapes the face of Faerûn. |
| 71474 I have no interest in you... |
| 71475 Come, now... surely you know that wherever history is being made I, Volo, will be there to chronicle events. You don't become the most famous historian on Faerûn without finding yourself right in the thick of things! |
| 71476 Of course, this time I'm a little closer than I normally like to get. But don't worry about me... I always find a way to get out of these tight situations. |
| 71477 I don't have time for this right now! |
| 71478 What can I do for you, Volo? |
| 71479 Oh no, <CHARNAME>... the question is: What can I do for you? The answer, of course, is immortalize you and your companions in my historical records. |
| 71480 Here's a little preview of what I've got so far: *ahem* Raised as a child in the cloistered confines of Candlekeep, <CHARNAME> emerged from these humble beginnings to become one of the most powerful mortals to ever set foot upon the face of Toril. |
| 71481 Saving the city of Baldur's Gate, defeating the mad mage Jon Irenicus, preserving the Tree of Life... such heroic accomplishments are mere footnotes in the epic tale of <CHARNAME>, greatest of the children of Bhaal! |
| 71482 *ahem* That's just a small taste of my entry on your exploits. Of course, the ending is not yet complete. And this is still a first draft. But you get the idea. And that's not all... |
| 71483 If you care to listen, I can give you a small preview of what I'm going to say about those people who have the glory of adventuring with you. |
| 71484 Sorry, I don't have time to listen right now. |
| 71485 Sure, let's hear what you've got. |
| 71486 Which of your companions would you like to hear about now? |
| 71487 Actually, I don't have time for this right now. |
| 71488 Tell me about Aerie. |
| 71489 Tell me about Aerie. |
| 71491 Tell me about Anomen. |
| 71492 Tell me about Anomen. |
| 71493 Tell me about Cernd. |
| 71494 Tell me about Edwin. |
| 71495 Tell me about Haer'Dalis. |
| 71496 Tell me about Imoen. |
| 71497 Tell me about Jaheira. |
| 71498 Tell me about Jaheira. |
| 71499 Tell me about Jan. |
| 71500 Tell me about Keldorn. |
| 71501 Tell me about Korgan. |
| 71502 Tell me about Mazzy. |
| 71503 Tell me about Minsc. |
| 71504 Tell me about Nalia. |
| 71505 Tell me about Sarevok. |
| 71506 Tell me about Valygar. |
| 71507 Tell me about Viconia. |
| 71508 Tell me about Viconia. |
| 71509 Few beings have ever been as powerful in both the priestly and wizardly forms of magic as the young girl from the circus. And though she lost her wings, Aerie found something even more valuable... the love of <CHARNAME>. |
| 71510 Those who knew Aerie as the frightened little girl in the circus would be amazed at her transformation. Few beings in the history of the realms have become as powerful in both priestly and wizardly magics as this innocent elf. |
| 71511 As a young man, the Delryn heir desired nothing more than to join the Order of the Radiant Heart. But then he discovered the <PRO_RACE> <CHARNAME>... and learned there are some things he cares about even more than his lifelong dream. |
| 71512 Combining the might of a fierce warrior with the compassion of a true priest of Helm, Anomen Delryn's fame and accomplishments have brought honor and glory to his family name. |
| 71513 As one of Helm's most powerful servants on the mortal planes, Anomen Delryn's legendary bravery, his skill in battle, and his devotion to his god are both a scourge to evil and an inspiration to his brethren within the Order of the Radiant Heart. |
| 71514 Cernd is truly the most powerful druid still to walk the Material Plane. Few defenders of the balance have been such stalwart guardians of the natural order. |
| 71515 Edwin Odesseiron, arcane master of the darkest necromancy... the Thayan wizard's very name strikes fear into the hearts of most mortals. |
| 71516 There are few who can match the arts of Haer'Dalis, whether he be twirling blades in combat, unleashing powerful magic on his foes, or invoking the spirit of a legendary hero on stage. |
| 71517 From an anonymous childhood in the monastery at Candlekeep, Imoen stepped forth, a young woman with the blood of an immortal in her veins and the power of an archmage at her command. |
| 71518 As devoted to her lover <CHARNAME> as she is to nature and the balance, the half-elf Jaheira will long be remembered as one of the greatest Harpers who has ever served the cause. |
| 71519 Jaheira combines the talents of her warrior training and her druid beliefs, making her one of the most powerful guardians of the balance to ever walk the world. |

You will also find the dungeon and many new areas on the new BGII: ToB map if you choose to start the next chapter in the Child of Bhaal storyline. To begin this final adventure in the Bhaal Saga, click the Throne of Bhaal button. |
| 71533 Something must be done, don't you think? |
| 71534 We should demand to see Balthazar! |
| 71535 Let's be reasonable about this... |
| 71536 Nothing is being done about the cave of the dead! |
| 71537 We have no supplies except what the smugglers can get for us. |
| 71538 All these mercenaries concern me greatly... |
| 71539 Summon Spectral Blade |
| 71540 Uh... where exactly is this? |
| 71541 What's going on here?! Who are you? |
| 71542 Silence! The blood of Bhaal's children is a nectar we will risk much to claim! Overwhelm <PRO_HIMHER>, my brethren! |
| 71543 Uh... where are we? This doesn't seem right. |
| 71544 What's going on here? What is this place? |
| 71545 Silence! The blood of Bhaal's children is a nectar we will risk much to claim! Overwhelm <PRO_HIMHER>, my brethren! |
| 71546 Intruders trying to flee the city! How did they get past the magical barrier?! |
| 71547 You... if you aren't a Bhaalspawn, you should probably leave this place. It isn't safe for any of us... not that anywhere is, really, right now. |
| 71548 Get lost, brat! |
| 71549 Help! |
| 71550 Something has caused the creature to split in two. |
| 71551 What is going on here? Who are you? |
| 71552 I am my father's daughter. A child of Bhaal. Death is our nature, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. I embrace it as you shall soon embrace me. Embrace death... |
| 71553 You have reached a new level of experience, and your deity has given you their holy symbol for your loyal service. |
| 71554 Good... good. |
| 71555 Excellent technique. |
| 71556 What kind of swing is THAT? |
| 71557 Hmm. Yes, that looks fine. |
| 71558 *sigh* |
| 71559 This strange-looking machine seems to be made up of a series of gears and whistles. Currently, it appears to have several yards of odd fabrics jammed in its intake. |
| 71560 Thief! How dare you! |
| 71561 If only there were a garrison to deal with the likes of you! |
| 71562 Ahh! A thief! Someone help me! |
| 71563 Your theft has been noticed by someone. |
| 71564 Pyrgam Aleson tells me you have a key that can get me into the castle. |

| 71570 You wish to get inside the castle? Why? I would not suggest to anyone that they seek out Gromnir. In his mind, he is capable of anything, <BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 71571 I have little choice. I must seek out Gromnir regardless. |
| 71572 If I am to help this city, that is where I must go, sister. |
| 71573 Just tell me if you know anything or not! I didn't ask for your opinion. |
| 71574 I'm not afraid of Gromnir. Tell me how to get inside. |
| 71575 You... you do not seem like an evil person, <BROTHERSISTER>. Very... very well, I will help you with your task. Though it will not be an easy one. |
| 71576 No. No, I cannot help you with this, <BROTHERSISTER>. You will have to find aid for your task elsewhere. |
| 71577 You don't know how to get inside, or you just don't want to tell me? |
| 71578 I don't like your reticence, sister. Tell me what I want to know now, or pay the price! |
| 71579 Fine. Have it your way. |
| 71580 Do your worst. You are obviously an evil <MANWOMAN>, and I expect no less from the likes of you... but you will get no help from me. |
| 71581 It makes no difference. Even if I knew, I would not help one such as you. Whatever reason you need to enter the castle for, it likely leads to no good. So begone... there is nothing for you here. |
| 71582 What? How do you know about...? Ah. Of course, rumors travel about Saradush as they would anywhere else. There is a key to get into the castle, yes... though it may not be what you think. |
| 71583 It makes no difference, however. Whatever you need the key for, it would likely lead to no good. Begone, <BROTHERSISTER>... there is no help for you here. |
| 71584 Forget it. I came for the key, and I'm not leaving without it. |
| 71585 Well, if I have to pry that key from your dead fingers, it'll make no difference to me. |
| 71586 Fine, fine. Have it your way. |
| 71587 What?! A child of Bhaal? Here?! Damn the wenches for their lustful hearts... they were warned to stay away from the blood of gods, no matter how sweet! |
| 71588 I guess I'm just too irresistible for the likes of you. |
| 71589 Die, vampire scum! |
| 71590 As you arrive in the clearing, the first thing that draws your attention is the plume of smoke billowing from nearby Saradush. Its walls have been breached in several places, and its utter devastation shows a city that has been completely sacked by invaders. Bodies of soldiers are everywhere, as is the stench of death. The screams of the innocent attempting to flee can still be heard. Yaga-Shura and his army are nowhere in your immediate sight. |
| 71591 CHAPTER NINE Dust blows around you, clearing a moment later to reveal what can only be Amkethran. A village nestled into an outcropping of rock amidst a desert so dry and sparse of life that you wonder how such a place could survive. Dominating the village and seemingly carved out of the stone face of the rocks themselves is a large and ornate fortress, its purpose unknown. |
| 71592 CHAPTER TEN As you step into the Abyssal plane, the first thing that strikes you is how suddenly alien it feels. A chill wind sweeps across an empty void, screaming in your ears that you are not welcome here. Several strange, towering structures are present, suspended in the void by an unknown power. All your immortal senses tell you, however, that the powerful essence of your dead father is close and that this place is indeed the Throne of Bhaal. |
| 71593 Rumors of ancient ruins and incredible treasures often reach the ears of the party as they travel the length of the Sword Coast, but no tale is so lucrative as that of Watcher's Keep. The ruin still stands, it is said, and a religious order known as the Knights of the Vigil have made a call wide and far for heroes to aid their dangerous cause. Details are scarce, and curiosity leads the party quickly to the glade of the keep itself, a deserted place that whispers in the wind of the most ancient evils... |
| 71594 I don't suppose you'd just let me pass by without a fuss? |
| 71595 Come, then, my children... we die this night, once and forever, throwing ourselves on the merciless blade that is this godling! |
| 71596 You... you are a powerful one of your kind. I can smell the murder in your heart. You shall never let us live, I would think. |
| 71597 I'm not traveling with anyone, as you can plainly see. |
| 71598 Why would I want to hear about *them*? Let's hear some more about me. |
| 71599 Well, yes, I do see that... I just couldn't believe it, I'm ashamed to say. To accomplish all that you have, and to do it *alone*. Tch. Quite an accomplishment, <CHARNAME>. |
| 71600 I suppose I'll have to do quite a bit more research to paint a clearer picture of you for those who haven't had the pleasure to make your acquaintance. But, please... don't let me keep you. |
| 71601 I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, <CHARNAME>, but I, ah, haven't actually gotten much farther than that. My research is one of the reasons I've taken this risk. You're history is, ah, quite fascinating. |
| 71602 I'm sure I'll get it all down on paper soon. Why, your exploits in Athkatla alone are enough to fill an entire journal! At the moment, I was simply working on gaining some insight on you by detailing the lives of your companions. |
| 71603 Well, let's hear what you've written about them, then. |
| 71604 But I'm traveling alone, as you can plainly see. |
| 71605 I haven't time for any of this. |
| 71606 Combining the stealth and guile of a master thief with the power of a great illusionist, Jan Jansen is not one to lightly dismiss. In an already infamous gnomish family, word of Jan's exploits have spread across the breadth of Faerûn and will likely grow into the greatest Jansen legends of the future. |
| 71607 The most powerful and revered member of the Order of the Radiant Heart to walk Faerûn, Keldorn is a veteran warrior whose deeds for the good of all men shall be remembered long after he is passed. No one man could serve Torm with greater dedication... I understand a statue is already being erected in his honor in Athkatla. |
| 71608 Out of all the great warriors to come from the ranks of the dwarves, Korgan is one whose name and terrible deeds are already achieving legendary status. Pray that your path does not cross the gruff battlerager's, for never has a more efficient killer walked the planes. |
| 71609 Never has a member of the halfling race stood taller and prouder than the most valiant of Arvoreen's faithful warriors. The stalwart Mazzy Fentan has earned a legendary amount of fame serving the cause of good. If ever there was to be a paladin beyond the ranks of humanity, no warrior could be purer of heart. |
| 71610 With a thundering bellow and a mighty sword, Minsc and his faithful hamster companion Boo have worked their way into the lexicon of the Faerûnian vocabulary as true heroes. Evil beware! |
| 71611 Nalia has grown from the roguish young daughter of the de'Arnise duke, barely trained in the magical arts, to one of the most fearsome mages to grace the land. Lady Nalia challenges the likes of Elminster and Alustriel for both power and a desire to do good. |
| 71612 Err... Sarevok? You mean *the* Sarevok? He's with you? |
| 71613 Sure he is. He's right there. |
| 71614 Well, not at the moment. But he *is* traveling with me. |
| 71615 Amazing! I had heard that a warrior of masterful skill was sighted traveling with you, <CHARNAME>, but even I could not guess at such a convolution! Imagine! The very man who once tried to kill you now fights by your side! |
| 71616 I shall have to write that down now, so I don't forget. What a fantastic tale this will make! |
| 71617 The last member of Amn's infamous Corthala family has made an even greater impression than his necromantic ancestor... the grim Valygar's prowess as a ranger the likes of which have only been told in the oldest of legends cannot be denied. Single-handedly, the ranger may turn what was considered a cursed bloodline into one of the most respected names in Amn. |
| 71618 The dark love of <CHARNAME> and a fierce servant of Shar, Viconia has achieved the sort of immortal fame enjoyed by only one other drow in Faerûn. Deadly, fierce, and devoted to her infamous lover, Viconia's name will forever be spoken in hushed tones and remembered as the mightiest force of Shar's shadowy faithful. |
| 71619 The fierce and deadly servant of Shar has achieved the sort of immortal fame enjoyed by only one other drow in Faerûn, and while Drizzt Do'Urden is a hero of the first magnitude, Viconia's name will forever be uttered with hushed respect... none of Shar's faithful has ever been more feared. |
| 71620 All right, I think I've heard enough. |
| 71621 Thank you, <CHARNAME>... I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am to meet you while you are in the middle of an adventure that will change the shape of the realms! Truly, I only hope I can do your tale justice. |
| 71622 Oh, I don't think I deserve all of that... there are *so* many opponents we face who seem to have more power than us, no matter how much we all grow. But it *does* sound nice. |
| 71623 Hmph... a commendable recitation, although I've no need for such flattery. You did spell my name correctly, did you not? |
| 71624 The most powerful? Perhaps. In the normal order of things, were I not joined in <CHARNAME>'s quest, I suppose I would have become a Hierophant long ago. But it was not meant to be. |
| 71625 What? That is it? No mention of how I could squash the pathetic Elminster with a wave of my little finger? Bah! Writers! (Although striking fear with my name is good, yes, yes, very good...) |
| 71626 You are too kind, dear poet. Would that I had the time, it would suit my fancy to join you in your quest to record <CHARNAME>'s tale. Ahhh, what wonders it has already encompassed! Perhaps I will yet have the chance to relate them to you one day, yes? |
| 71627 Ooo, an archmage! I like the sound of that! But you forgot beautiful. All of the sorceresses in Winthrop's books were beautiful and terrible. Watch, see? See how I flip my hair and glare at you... don't I look evil? |
| 71628 Well, at least the balance was mentioned. So long as your tale does not turn into some tawdry bundle of lies existing solely to titillate the common reader, perhaps your relation of <CHARNAME>'s tale will have some merit, Volo. |
| 71629 Tawdry? My dear Miss Jaheira... I have never once been the slightest bit tawdry with my lies, I assure you. |
| 71630 Hmph. Not even an attempt to feign honesty, is it? No wonder Elminster speaks so highly of you. I shall have to see this work of yours once it is done... I so wonder if <CHARNAME> will even be recognizable. |
| 71631 Believe me, my dear... in the case of <CHARNAME> here, exaggeration is not exactly a requirement for an exciting tale. It will be all I can do to convince my readers that I tell the truth, I would wager. |
| 71632 You think so? One day, some little gnomish bundle of joy will be telling his companions implausible tales about *me*? I wonder if his friends will greet his tales with a similar amount of disbelief, hm? What a sheer irony that would be! |
| 71633 A statue?! They wouldn't do such an absurd thing, would they? I am no hero to deserve such lauds. Come, <CHARNAME>... let us leave this writer to his fictions. |
| 71634 Damn right. |
| 71635 Pretty words, though the only one who needs to be assured of my purity is myself. And perhaps Arvoreen, of course. |
| 71636 Oh, Boo, he is going to mention you in his book! Isn't he a nice man? |
| 71637 Oh, good grief. You *must* be kidding me. |
| 71638 It was a good enough tale when I was alive the first time, sycophantic fool. |
| 71639 I would prefer that you not mention me at all, writer. Not that you'll listen. You rumormongers never do. |
| 71640 Hmm. A worthy description, perhaps, though the other drow you mention is nothing compared to me and deserves no mention when I am the topic of discussion. But it is *your* manuscript, yes? |
| 71641 Looting will not be permitted! Looters shall be executed! |

| 71653 There is nothing here for you, my <LADYLORD>. Please leave us alone. |
| 71654 We are but poor peasants, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 71655 If you are looking for a place to sleep, Zakee Rafeha runs a small inn. |
| 71656 Please don't cause us any trouble. |
| 71657 It... it's one of the Bhaalspawn! Aaaiiiee! |
| 71658 Run! Run before <HESHE> kills us all! |
| 71659 Who are you? Are you going to rob us? |
| 71660 Umm... you should speak to my mother, <SIRMAAM>. |
| 71661 Eeek! It's a scary <MANWOMAN>! |
| 71662 Greetings. My name is Faheed. I wish we had the room to offer you a place to rest... perhaps you had best try the inn. |
| 71663 There is nothing more I can tell you, my <LADYLORD>. I wish you well. |
| 71664 This is not your home, stranger. Get out. |
| 71665 Be on your way, whoever you are. |
| 71666 Ignore my husband. He is too friendly with strangers at times. There is nothing for you here. |
| 71667 The monastery gate is sealed, except to those who have business within. So move on. |
| 71668 I am here to observe the goings-on within the town for the monastery, but I am not to involve myself. I am sure I have no business with you. |
| 71669 The monastic order has no dealings with you. Leave me be. |
| 71670 The mercenaries are in the employ of the monastic order. Speak to the order if you have dealings with us. |
| 71671 Leave me alone. We are very busy preparing. |
| 71672 What we're here for is none of your business. We won't even know until our employer wishes us to, got it? |
| 71673 Move along, citizen. |
| 71674 I've orders to discuss nothing. Move on. |
| 71675 You don't wanna go in that cavern. That's where we bury our dead, but now it's full of really bad creatures, my momma says. |
| 71676 The priestess says they're all undead, but she can't do nothin'. And Balthazar won't help and kill them for us. My poppa says the stranger man brought the creatures here, he does. |
| 71678 But I, umm... I didn't say nothin' to you about anythin', okay? I gotta go. |
| 71679 Excuse me, <SIRMAAM>, but I have business elsewhere... |
| 71680 I'm told undead have been coming out of the graveyard cavern. The monks should do something about them! |
| 71681 How can we be going to war? Against whom? This makes no sense! |
| 71682 You have to be careful around those mercenaries. They don't care about us... they'll kill us if they've a mind to! |
| 71683 I'm told we can expect an attack any day now. Some say an army of giants will descend upon us. I hear it's to be illithids and dark elves. Either way, I don't know how Balthazar's going to protect us. |
| 71684 I'm not insane, I'm not! |
| 71685 Err... excuse me? |
| 71686 Could have fooled me. |
| 71687 I've no time to talk with the likes of you. Excuse me. |
| 71688 Just... just don't go out at night! Don't do it! Don't say I didn't warn you! |
| 71689 Nobody believes me. Why would they? After all that's been going on in Saradush, why even think about the fact that there are monsters amongst us, preying on us? |
| 71690 Whoa, slow down. What are you talking about? |
| 71691 You... you're right. I'm babbling, aren't I? It's just that I know that they're searching for me. They know that I know about them. The nights aren't safe for me, and I can't even flee the city! |
| 71692 Know about who? |
| 71693 The vampires! The courtesans... some of them, anyway... they started disappearing after the siege began. No one knew where they went. And then... they started to reappear... changed... |
| 71694 Nobody noticed because of the siege, but it's true! They've moved down into the old prison. Their lair is there, I swear! And they come to this bar at night to feed on their customers! |
| 71695 I have no idea how many there are now. So many people die every day here; what's a few more? I was taken down to the prison myself... but I got away. And now they hunt for me. |
| 71696 I know I sound crazy. Nobody wants to listen to me, but it's true! I'm a dead man! |
| 71697 What are you going to do about it? |
| 71698 I could protect you, you know. I'm not scared of vampires. |
| 71699 How do you get down to this prison? |
| 71700 Oh, you're crazy, all right. Get lost. |
| 71701 Do about it? Ha ha! I'm going to die, obviously! Unless... unless I can hide! I've got to hide! Torm help me, I've got to hide! |
| 71702 Geas |
| 71703 You're not...? Then... you must be one of them! You work for them! You came to bring me to them, didn't you? I've got to get out of here! Aaaaah! |
| 71704 Go down? Well... I guess all you have to do is, um, hire one of the courtesans, right? Just wait here in the bar until they come. But... why would you want to go down there? |
| 71705 Never mind. I don't want to know. I've got my own hide to think about. Excuse me. |
| 71706 Aaah! Oh... sorry, you frightened me there. I... I should get going. You never know when they're going to come for me... |

| 71710 Greetings, old friend. Ha! Fancy meeting you here. |
| 71711 Elminster? |
| 71712 Oh ho! So you do know who I am now? I must admit, you've changed more than a little since the last time we met, before you were straddling the world with your power... so to speak. |
| 71713 That's not true for all of us, though. I understand there's quite a few Bhaalspawn whom he's gotten to fight at his side. Some of them are pretty powerful, too. |
| 71714 I... I'm sorry! *sniff* I'm sorry, I'm just trying to do what I can! |
| 71715 If they come here to the bar to feed, then what are you doing here? |
| 71716 I... I don't know. I... you're right. What am I doing here? Why did I come back?! I've got to get away! I've got to get away! |
| 71717 Good. So the madman was right after all. |
| 71718 So the madman was right. |
| 71719 You again? Anything I can help you with, <BROTHERSISTER>? |
| 71720 No, not really. |
| 71721 Don't you think you should get out of here while you can? |
| 71722 I think I may have figured out a way to get your power back. |
| 71723 And go where? If that army gets into the city, there's nowhere that'll be safe. Every last Bhaalspawn will be hunted down, including me. I almost wish I could be scared about it. |
| 71724 Really? How? |
| 71725 Melissan removed your capacity to be scared, right? Literally? |
| 71726 I think so. She doesn't know how to return it, either. Not permanently. |
| 71727 But all you need is to get scared once and you'd at least be away from here, right? |
| 71728 I don't know. Probably. |
| 71729 So a horror spell or something similar should do the trick! |
| 71730 Hmmm. Maybe. I'm either immune or resistant to a lot of magic, but you never know. Too bad I don't know any spells or I'd try it out. |
| 71731 Wh-what? It... it's working! I'm starting to feel fear! That... that means I'll teleport away! Oh, thank you! Thank you! |
| 71732 But the sewers *are* sealed... and I have no idea how you'd be able to get down there, sorry. |

| 71741 Why are you here now? You've been "watching my progress," I suppose? |
| 71742 "Straddling the world"? It hardly feels that way. |
| 71743 Tell me what you want and be quick with it before I gut you where you stand! |
| 71744 Watching your progress? Well, not as much as I likely should have. I wish I had known long ago that Gorion would be right. I would have done more than just warn you about your destiny, I think. |
| 71745 No need to be bashful. There's only a handful of folks who'd be willing to take you on at this point. Not even I would dare... ho ho ho! And I've had considerable time to practice. |
| 71746 There's no need for your temper, child. I wouldn't dare fight you. Tch. I would have done more than simply warn you of your destiny had I known Gorion would be right. Ah well. |
| 71747 Have you any idea of the havoc the Bhaalspawn have caused up and down the Coast? The havoc you've caused personally? No, I don't suppose you have. Not that it's entirely your fault. |
| 71748 We Harpers have been working tirelessly for weeks now to prevent the panic from reaching a boiling point. Not a simple task. As I understand it, though, your quest is nearly at an end, correct? |
| 71749 I think so. |
| 71750 Why? What do you know about it? |
| 71751 That would be your cue to meddle, I take it? |
| 71752 I have to leave again soon, so I can't help you much. But I can help you a little, whether you like it or not. It's important that this all ends soon, but that doesn't mean I won't lift a finger over it. |
| 71753 Greetings again, <CHARNAME>. I've still got a few more chapters on your book to finish before I leave this town for good. Always getting out at the last minute, you know. |
| 71754 You're writing a book about me? What does it say? |
| 71755 I'd like to hear what you've written about my companions. |
| 71756 I'll leave you to do your thing, then. |

| 71760 Balthazar is known to me. His monastery is sealed up tight with powerful magic... where he gets it from, I don't know. But you're going to have to get inside, obviously, or he'll ambush you eventually. |
| 71761 Alexander Ralisar |
| 71762 Asmay Jahag |
| 71763 So how can you help me, then? |
| 71764 Asmay Jahag |
| 71765 I know you may not be aware of this, but the smugglers in Amkethran are led by none other than your old friend Saemon Havarian. He comes and goes, as I understand it... but he's there now. |
| 71766 I know it may not be pleasant to contemplate, but the rogue Saemon Havarian holds the key to entering the monastery. He is once again with the Amkethran smugglers at the moment. |
| 71767 Since you dealt with Saemon Havarian, the only one who I know for sure could have entered the monastery, I'll direct you to the innkeeper in Amkethran. Zakee Rafeha. Question him gently. |
| 71768 Since you've been on a killing spree inside the town, your options to get inside the monastery are rather limited. I can tell you, however, that the magical field over the gate was recently removed. |
| 71769 As I understand it, Havarian has been into the monastery several times up until now. He may be able to help you once again if you're willing to look for his aid. |
| 71770 I am almost positive that he knows how to get inside, and I doubt it will be difficult to obtain the information from him. I know little else in the way of details, however. |
| 71771 There has been too much movement in and out of the monastery within the last two days to maintain it. That means all you must do is get a key from the appropriate guard to open the gate. |
| 71772 There may be another way in, but you'll have to find it on your own. Now... I must go. From this point on, attaining your destiny is completely your own affair. I wish you well. |
| 71773 Hold! I am General Jamis Tombelthen, representative of the king and queen of Tethyr. You, <CHARNAME>, are accused of crimes against our nation and, indeed, all of humanity! |
| 71774 What?! What crimes?! I've done nothing wrong! |
| 71775 Exactly what crimes am I being accused of here?! |
| 71776 Is there to be a trial? May I defend myself? |
| 71777 Bah! Your army will have no better luck bringing me in than any other! |
| 71778 I don't expect you to understand what I'm about, General. |
| 71779 You are a spawn of Bhaal and responsible for the destruction of the city of Saradush. Your execution has been ordered, <CHARNAME>. May the gods have mercy on your soul. |
| 71780 You are guilty, <CHARNAME>. Of this there is no doubt. And we will not risk your further endangerment of us all. |
| 71781 It's <PRO_HIMHER>! Destroy <PRO_HIMHER>, in the name of all that is righteous! |
| 71782 Ah, yes, yes. I suppose we could rehash our differences, were I a mind to... but surrounded by my slaughtered old comrades as I am, I'm hardly in the mood. |
| 71783 Oh, I suppose you have your reasons to be sore with me. And were circumstances different, I'd be happy to accommodate your request. Surrounded by my dead comrades as I am, however, I'm not going to. |
| 71784 Does it look like an ambush? Do you suppose my slaughtered comrades here will attack you? I wouldn't blame you for the thought, but I'm hardly in the mood for frivolities. |
| 71785 I figured you'd be coming back to Amkethran soon enough... and so I waited for you. I have a proposition, if you're interested. |
| 71786 The large volume is almost too large to comfortably carry, but in giantish hands, would likely be little other than a small journal. Its scribbled contents were made with an unsteady hand and written in Giantish, but are still largely legible. Some interesting notes contained within: "Finally found the little human Bhaalspawn who's been evading me for two weeks in the Calim Desert. Was almost a shame to eat his heart, but rules are rules." "The wraiths that were loaned to me turned out to be useful. I have the old hag's heart now, and she's helpless against Yaga-Shura! Foolish, presumptuous woman! May she rot in that infernal swamp of hers!" "Most of the spawn that are left are collected in Saradush now, where we want them. Only a few stragglers to pick off once the city walls are overcome... which is only a matter of time." "Illasera was chosen to be the one to go after the powerful Bhaalspawn, the straggler. What is <PRO_HISHER> name? <CHARNAME>? Hmph. Yaga-Shura should have been the one chosen. The fool would have stood no chance. But now is not the time to disobey orders. Yaga-Shura can bide his time." The remainder of the journal contains information on the gathering of Yaga-Shura's army and various tactical matters which, while interesting, are not particularly relevant. STATISTICS: Weight: 10 |

| 71789 The magic of the pocket plane has placed you in the wilderness on the road to Yaga-Shura's home. Your map has been updated, and you shall have to make your way to Yaga-Shura's areas and discover the source of his invulnerability. |
| 71790 You will not be able to stop the stream's flow with the guardian protecting it. |
| 71791 What? After all you've pulled on me? Forget it! |
| 71792 I'd rather you stand still and let me kill you now. |
| 71793 You've double-crossed me before. Why should I trust you now? |
| 71794 You've betrayed me constantly, even with those guards! Why should I trust you?! |
| 71795 I've done only what I've had to, in the past. I may owe you for my unfortunate rudeness, perhaps, but overall, you and I are pretty even, <CHARNAME>. |
| 71796 What?! Even?! |
| 71797 You don't think I had much of a choice with all that business in Spellhold, did you? And for all my troubles, for bringing you to the island, I ended up losing my best ship. |
| 71798 And then there's the business of my poor men here. If it weren't for you and all those other Bhaalspawn, my little smuggling business here could have continued quietly as it was. |
| 71799 As it is, I've lost nearly all my investment. And I'm not very happy about it. |
| 71800 You're not laying all your misfortunes at *my* feet, are you? |
| 71801 Don't try squirming out of the retribution you deserve, Saemon! It won't work! |
| 71802 I don't care a whit about your investment. I have my own problems. |
| 71803 And what about the business with the githyanki? I suppose you were forced into that too? |
| 71804 Well, no, that's true. Would you believe I truly didn't intend that to work out as it did? No, I suppose you wouldn't. Well, you survived just fine... so no harm done, right? |
| 71805 No doubt, but your and my most immediate problem may have more in common than you think. Just hear me out for a moment, <CHARNAME>, and then you can go ahead and kill me if you want. |
| 71806 We could argue about who's done what to whom all day. Or maybe less, as I imagine my being chopped to bits might make your argument a little more effective than mine. Regardless, hear me out first. |
| 71807 Did I say that? But you are involved at least indirectly, whether you had any malicious intent or no. I certainly don't harbor any ill will towards you, after all. |
| 71808 I blame Balthazar, if anything. He's made my life nothing short of difficult, and now he's gone and curtailed me completely. And harmed some perfectly innocent people. He's got to pay for that. |
| 71809 As I understand it, you've got to get inside the monastery. And I've got a couple of ideas which might enable you to do that. Interested? |
| 71810 I'll listen to what you have to say. I promise nothing more than that. |
| 71811 I have no interest in hearing anything you have to offer. |
| 71812 No. I think killing you will make me much, much happier. |
| 71813 It's a mistake, <CHARNAME>. Believe or not, we make a good team. |
| 71814 Well, I'll just have to live with the loss. |
| 71815 I plan on parting your head from your shoulders. I hear they're a good team too. |
| 71816 Fine, fine. I'll listen to what you have to say. |
| 71817 Ah. I see. Well, you'll have to excuse me if I make my exit, then. Good luck to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 71818 Now, I knew you were more reasonable than you seemed. All right, then. The best way I can think of to get inside the monastery is through disguise. My men, ah, scavenged a few uniforms. |
| 71819 It's enough for you and me to bluff our way past the gate guards. I'd need to go with you, naturally... I've done this before, and I know the proper codes to tell them. |
| 71820 And what do you get out of this? |
| 71821 You want to come with me? Forget it. Not interested. |
| 71822 The best way? What other way is there? |
| 71823 I get to exact revenge on Balthazar. I'm a man with a reputation to uphold, after all. I can't allow slights like this to pass, you know. And besides... I suppose I owe you one. |
| 71824 No. I'm not interested in you coming with me. |
| 71825 And what else? You mentioned that was only the best way. |
| 71826 All right, then. If it will get me inside, I'm game for it. |
| 71827 Fine. We'll do that. Double-cross me again, Saemon, and it'll be the *last* time. Got it? |
| 71828 Well, the other way is quite dangerous. I wouldn't suggest it... and I couldn't go with you. Balthazar has, ah, warded that route against me. Against me specifically, I mean. |
| 71829 Why do you want to come with me? What do you get out of it? |
| 71830 Fine, fine. We'll do your disguise suggestion. |
| 71831 I don't care if you come or not. What's this other way? |
| 71832 It's through the graveyard cavern just west of here. I hear it's full of undead creatures... but I could be wrong. Anyhow, there's a group of caskets high up on platforms. One of them leads into the monastery. |
| 71833 But you'd need a key to open that casket. And I no longer have it... and there's no guarantee whoever has it now will give it to you. But if you're sure you want to go that way... |
| 71834 But you'd need a key to open that casket. Fortunately, you happened to kill the person who last had the key, and one of my men, ah, acquired it. I can sell you that key for a nice fee, if you like. |
| 71835 I'll manage. Tell me where this key is. |
| 71836 You made your point. We'll do the disguise as you suggested. |
| 71837 I don't want your help period, Saemon. I don't trust you. I'll find my own way. |
| 71838 No, I don't like. Give it to me now or suffer the consequences. |
| 71839 Sell? How much? |
| 71840 I'm not interested in bargaining with you, Saemon. We'll do the disguise route. |
| 71841 Forget it. I don't want your help, period. I'll find my own way. |
| 71842 All right, then. Give me a few moments to prepare. Come and talk to me again once you're ready to go, all right? |
| 71843 If that's the way you want it, I doubt I can dissuade you. So be it. Find the gentleman Faheed, here in Amkethran. You'll likely find him indoors somewhere. Get the key from him, if you can. |
| 71844 I trust that's enough help for you. Hopefully, Balthazar can suffer just as much without my presence, yes? Perhaps we shall meet again... |
| 71845 I don't suppose there's some way to convince you otherwise? No? Ah well. So be it. I'm sure you'll find some way to do what you wish. Excuse me, then, while I make my exit. Good luck, <CHARNAME>. |
| 71846 Gah. Fine, fine. I suppose Balthazar will suffer just as much without my presence. Here you go, <CHARNAME>. Take the key and good luck. Now excuse me as I make my exit. |
| 71847 Oh, I don't know. 100,000 gold? That'll get me a new ship. And, after all... it's not like you'll need gold where you're going, am I right? |
| 71848 Right you are. Here you go... and this had better work. |
| 71849 Forget it! I'm not paying you 100,000 gold! Hand over the key... now. |
| 71850 Never mind. We'll do the disguise route, as you suggested. |
| 71851 Trying to rip me off again, eh? Forget it, Saemon. I don't trust you, and I don't want your help. Period. |
| 71852 Fair enough. You're a good sport, <CHARNAME>. Good luck to you. Now... excuse me while I make my exit... |
| 71853 Are you ready to go, then? I've got the uniforms ready. |
| 71854 Fine, let's go. But you'd better be on the level. |
| 71855 No, not yet. Give me some time yet. |
| 71856 Forget it. I've decided I can't trust you, rogue. |
| 71857 Give Balthazar enough time and he'll come to us. But go ahead... I'll wait. |
| 71858 Would I steer you wrong, <CHARNAME>? |
| 71859 I must say I've never liked this side of you, <CHARNAME>. Ah well, excuse me while I beat a retreat, as they say... |
| 71860 Oops! I didn't think you had this many hard feelings about me, <GABBER>. I, ah... better let you cool down for a while! |
| 71861 The Bhaalspawn taint must be cleansed, brother. |
| 71862 With the mercy of the gods, it shall be so, brother. |
| 71863 Be righteous, brother. |
| 71864 I brought <PRO_HIMHER>. But <PRO_HESHE> may be more than you can handle. I drugged this one once before... I owe <PRO_HIMHER> one. |
| 71865 Well, I did my best, <CHARNAME>. Sorry, but Balthazar had me over a barrel, so to speak. Good luck! |
| 71866 How did you get here, exactly? |
| 71867 I wasn't brought here by Melissan, like some of the others. I fled here from Sembia. My home village was burned to the ground by a dragon who claimed to be hunting for me. |
| 71868 My friends... my family... they threatened to give me to the dragon if I didn't leave. So I did. And I heard a lot of other Bhaalspawn were coming here. *sigh* Now I almost wish I hadn't come. |
| 71869 Do you know how to get inside the castle? |
| 71870 There was another child of Bhaal about here who could teleport about... but I don't know if he could take you with him. Timid fellow, anyway... probably not the kind you're looking for. |
| 71871 I don't know why you'd want to get into the castle, anyway. My advice would be to stay well away from Gromnir. When this army gets inside the walls, he's the first thing they're going after for sure. |
| 71872 Greetings to you, stranger. My name is Faheed. Would that my humble home were large enough to offer you shelter in this violent time. |
| 71873 What I need is the key to the casket in the graveyard, actually. |
| 71874 I don't need shelter. I need the key you have for the graveyard. Now. |
| 71875 I know this may sound strange, but I require a key that you possess, apparently. |
| 71876 Oh? And what would make you think that I might have such a key? |
| 71877 Saemon Havarian told me, that's why. |
| 71878 That doesn't matter. Do you have it or not? |
| 71879 Ah. I do have that key, yes. But I'm afraid I can't just give it to you. My wife and I purchased that key from the smugglers for a very specific reason. |
| 71880 We wish to kill Balthazar. He has endangered this whole village, and we can stand by and watch no longer. It will be difficult, but my wife and I are former adventurers... we have some power ourselves. |
| 71881 Why are you telling me this? |
| 71882 Then I guess I have to take it from you the hard way. |
| 71883 I'm looking to kill Balthazar myself. |
| 71884 Because it doesn't matter. If you take this key, then we have failed. If you work for Balthazar, then we are undone. I cannot allow you to leave, obviously. |
| 71885 So it's a fight you want? So be it. |
| 71886 But I'm looking to kill Balthazar myself. |
| 71887 I can always look for another way into the castle. I'll just leave you alone. |
| 71888 Violence is always the last, poorest option. But this is a violent age. I apologize, friend... whoever you are. |
| 71889 You... are? Should I believe you? ...Yes. Yes, somehow I do. You have far more power than I... if that is your true goal, then you have a far better chance than I. |
| 71890 Oh, that's my goal, all right. Balthazar is a dead man. |
| 71891 I don't want to kill him unless I have to. But I will probably have to. |
| 71892 Actually, I'd rather just kill you... lack of trust and all that. |
| 71893 I'm sorry, but I cannot allow for the chance that you will betray us. Balthazar must die, and we cannot risk failure. |
| 71894 Then take the key. Use it to enter the monastery through the graveyard cavern. We wish you the best of success. |
| 71895 Greetings to you once again, my <LADYLORD>. Is there something that you need? |
| 71896 I need a key that I'm told you have, actually. |
| 71897 I need the key to the graveyard casket. Hand it over... now. |
| 71898 Do you know how to get inside the monastery? |
| 71899 Is there something else I can answer for you, my good <MANWOMAN>? |
| 71900 What can you tell me about this Balthazar? |
| 71901 Do you know anything about a woman named Melissan? |
| 71902 Tell me about the order of monks in the fortress. |
| 71903 What are all these mercenaries about for? |
| 71904 Do you know how to get inside the monastery? |
| 71905 No, I would prefer some service. |
| 71906 Never mind. I'll be on my way. |
| 71907 Ordinarily, I would say no, my friend. But it comes to mind that I have heard this question asked numerous times before, and recently... so I am thinking that perhaps there is someone who can help you after all. |
| 71908 A pair of adventurers from Calimshan came to Amkethran months ago. They seem a quiet pair, and properly married, so I asked no question of them. |
| 71909 Lashar'ra |
| 71910 Lashar'ra |
| 71911 They have been asking about the fortress as well. Perhaps they could help you. I speak of Faheed and Majira... they live in a home here in the village, if you wish to seek them out. |
| 71912 Do you know how to get inside the monastery? |
| 71913 Do you know how to get inside the monastery? |
| 71914 Hmmm. I would direct you to an adventurer I know in the village for such information, one Faheed... but you killed him, as I understand it. A shame. He was a good man. |
| 71915 I know that the smugglers were interested in his home after you left the place. They took most of his belongings... perhaps they have something you require. I am told, however, that they are dead as well. |
| 71916 But... you look like a good <MANWOMAN>. If... if I give you something that may help you, will you promise not to reveal where you acquired it? |
| 71917 There is nothing else I can help you with, good <MANWOMAN>. I am sorry. |
| 71918 I promise. |
| 71919 Give it to me now. I promise nothing. |
| 71920 Forget it. I don't need your help. |
| 71921 You must know something, man! Out with it! |
| 71922 Fine, fine. |
| 71923 Then here. This is a key that was dropped by one of the drunken mercenaries. It opens the gate, as I understand it... and they don't know I have it. Take it. I want nothing more to do with it. |
| 71924 I see. Then there is nothing I can do. |
| 71925 Well... there is something. If... if I give you something that may help you, will you promise not to reveal where you acquired it? |
| 71926 Yes, sure, whatever. |
| 71927 I promise. |
| 71928 I promise nothing. Give it to me now or suffer. |
| 71929 Never mind. I don't need your help. |
| 71930 It's the Bhaalspawn! Get him! |
| 71931 There <PRO_HESHE> is! <CHARNAME> must be killed! |
| 71932 You don't suppose Balthazar will someday crack down on us, do you? We've always lived peacefully in Amkethran before he took over the order. |
| 71933 Esamon snuck into the monastery and took something valuable... he's a master thief, he is! I've, ah, never seen him personally, though. |
| 71934 We do all right here. Handle a route between Calimport and Athkatla, normally. Sometimes we supply goods to Myratma and Saradush as well. |
| 71935 Sorry, my friend... I've got work to do yet. |
| 71936 I know you, <CHARNAME>, and you have power, but you are not drow. By Sendai's will, you will be slaughtered in this place. |
| 71937 I've heard such things before. Your threats are meaningless. |
| 71938 Your mistress is doomed. I am the most powerful child of Bhaal! |
| 71939 Who are you? |
| 71940 Fool! I am drow. You are naught but iblithâ€â€filth! Sendai need not be bothered, for I shall destroy you! Enter Ogremoch's chamber if you dare. Defeat him, and I shall face you myself. |
| 71941 Do you know any way into the monastery? |
| 71942 No. Perhaps the smugglers do; I am not sure. Or, I should say, perhaps they did... Balthazar has taken the extreme action of ending their activities. Most brutal and sad. |
| 71943 Do you know any way into the monastery? |
| 71944 Do you know any way into the monastery? |
| 71945 Why... hello there. Hm. It's not often I get people barging into my shop. It's the reason I chose such a remote locale for my research, after all. |
| 71946 Who are you? |
| 71947 What kind of research? |
| 71949 Yes, well, so long then. |
| 71950 Who am I? My name is Kerrick, which will mean absolutely nothing to you, I'm sure. My work with machinery is of renown only amongst gnomes of a similar technological bent as myself. |
| 71951 You work with machinery? |
| 71952 Well, you will no doubt ridicule me for my work. So many others have, after all. But I'm used to it, so I suppose I can tell you something about what I do. |
| 71953 I make armor. Weapons, too. Powerful, powerful armor and weapons. It's a process I've been honing for years and years... searching for a way to tap into the power of, ah... well... |
| 71954 ...no, no. I can't go on having folks laughing at me. I can't bear it. Just... just go away, you. I'm sure you have lots of adventures to be on about. Don't mind me. |
| 71955 Can you make some armor and weapons for me? |
| 71957 *sigh* If you had the appropriate material, then... perhaps. But I deal with very specific requirements. It... well, you wouldn't understand. |
| 71958 Do I have the material you need? |
| 71959 Well, let me see your belongings. It'll just be a quick look... |
| 71960 No. No, you don't have anything I need. I... I don't want to discuss it. Please... leave me to my work. |
| 71961 Ooo! What's this? |
| 71962 Golden pantaloons! And a most fascinating specimen as well! Most remarkable! Most people just don't understand the special, inherent magical qualities of a good pair of pantaloons! |
| 71963 Silver pantaloons! And a most fascinating specimen as well! Most remarkable! Most people just don't understand the special, inherent magical qualities of a good pair of pantaloons! |
| 71964 Bronze pantalettes! And a most fascinating specimen as well! Most remarkable! Most people just don't understand the special, inherent magical qualities of a good pair of pantalettes! |
| 71965 I commend you for your good taste, my <LADYLORD>! If you had, say, a trio of such specimens... specifically in the golden, silver, *and* bronze varieties... well, I could make you an outfit which the gods themselves would fear! |
| 71966 Laugh as you may, should you ever come across such objects... well, do come and see me again! |
| 71967 Golden pantaloons! My, my! And... and silver pantaloons too! *gasp* A... a complete set! Bronze pantalettes! Gold, silver, *and* bronze! Merciful heavens! |
| 71968 My <LADYLORD>! It is so rare to find three such extraordinary specimens! If... if you would allow me to work, I could put them through the Pantaloon Ergo-Magical Transmogrifier right now! |
| 71969 The... um... ergo what? |
| 71970 Oh, never mind, never mind... just allow me to demonstrate! |
| 71971 Hello again. Back from your travels already? |
| 71972 You mentioned materials you need to work... do I have what you need now? |
| 71973 Just passing through. |
| 71974 There! A fully functional set of Power Pantaloon Battle Armor! And everything appears to be in the green! Amazing! I did it! |
| 71975 Enjoy your outfit, my good <MANWOMAN>. Me, I've got to bring my notes to the university! Those gnomes will have to stop laughing at me now! Ha hahahaha! |
| 71976 Greetings to you, <GABBER>. I trust your adventures with <CHARNAME> are going well? |
| 71977 Zakee Rafeha told me, actually. |
| 71978 Worthless slaves! Why aren't they dead yet? Keep fighting! |
| 71979 Why have they not fallen? The mistress shall feed you all to the Spider Queen's children! |
| 71980 Incompetent slaves! I shall kill them myself! |

When <PRO_HESHE> does this, <PRO_HISHER> Strength, Constitution, and Dexterity all are raised by 1 point for every 3 levels of the caster.

Other conditions suffered by the party are cured as well: fatigue, poison, disease, blindness, and deafness. |

| 72056 So... Melissan, you have returned to my monastery. |
| 72057 I have. Balthazar, I have need of your |
| 72058 Enough. I know what happened at Saradush. I know about the Bhaalspawn. |
| 72059 It is unfortunate. But I can explain, my old friend... |
| 72060 No. You force me to tip my hand now. It is time for you to die. |
| 72061 What? What are you doing?! |
| 72062 Call Dark Horde |
| 72063 You are no child of Bhaal, Melissan. Your part in this ends here... I shall see to that. My brethren... take her! |

| 72066 The small dragon-like creature purrs quizzically with wide eyes. Nervously, it backs away towards <CHARNAME>. Obviously, it doesn't want to talk to you. |
| 72067 The small dragon-like creature flutters its wings happily, looking at you with almost kaleidoscopic eyes. "You wish something?" It awaits your attention, tail flicking. |
| 72068 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 72069 Its eyes brighten, and it practically leaps into your arms, ready to be stowed amongst your belongings, where it can sleep and occasionally poke its head out. |
| 72070 *pet and play with it* |
| 72071 The dragon coos with delight, its multicolored eyes whirling as you pat its warm, leathery hide. "You are very kind to me, my <PRO_LADYLORD>," it purrs. |
| 72072 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 72073 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 72074 The familiar cranes its neck back and looks up at you with a slightly bewildered expression. "You wish to ask *me* for advice, my <PRO_LADYLORD>?" |
| 72083 How are you? Everything okay down there? |
| 72084 The dragon flicks its tail with pleasure and gazes up at you with colorful eyes. "So long as you are well, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, then I am well." |
| 72085 "I... I am a little hurt, though, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. The cuts sting, and I am bleeding. It... it is not pleasant." |
| 72086 "I... I am hurt badly, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I don't want to die, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. I want to stay with you." The dragon whimpers a little and curls its tail around your leg. |
| 72087 "But since you are asking, I could use a snack. Perhaps a nice gopher. Or some pie... ooooh, yes, I *like* pie!" |
| 72088 "I do like traveling with you. Very much, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Do you have an apple? I could roast the apple a little and then eat it down. Apples are good!" |
| 72089 "I am amazed at all the new places I see with you. Everything is so wonderful and so colorful! Is all of the world like this, my <PRO_LADYLORD>?" |
| 72090 "I feel wonderful myself, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. My hide is clean, and I stand ready to aid you against danger!" |
| 72091 Let's just keep going, then. |
| 72092 The dragon flicks its tail contentedly and then turns its eyes back to the path before you. "As you wish, my <PRO_LADYLORD>." |
| 72093 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 72094 Its eyes brighten, and it practically leaps into your arms, ready to be stowed amongst your belongings, where it can sleep and occasionally poke its head out. |

| 72096 How are you? Everything okay down there? |

| 72101 Look on me, <CHARNAME>. See yourself as you might have been had Gorion taken Sarevok instead of you... had your path taken a different turn. |
| 72102 Look on me and know that I despise you and resent the ease in which you lived. I would have given much for a home and a father such as Gorion. |
| 72103 I shall not allow you to exist. Stop me... if you can. |
| 72104 Desert Troll |
| 72105 You're... you're one of us. You're one of the Bhaalspawn, aren't you? |
| 72106 Oh, but you... you needn't worry about me. I'm dead. I'm a nobody. I grew up in a small farming village... I didn't even know what I was until they came for me. |
| 72107 But I knew I was different. You can hear the screams at night, can't you? You can feel the blood of the murdered, how it flows all around you... a thousand different pains and you're nothing but a solitary echo. |
| 72108 But it's not terrible. It's inviting. It calls to you. And if you give into it, if you offer your entire heart up to it, everything becomes crystal clear. One murder, two, a thousand... it all becomes part of you. |
| 72109 I murdered three of the local girls until I was... driven out. And then I went to the city. Murder was easier there, and I felt the call every night. You can taste life, you know... and it is divine. |
| 72110 I can feel the same in you... I know you feel the call, and you surrender to it as I did, don't you? It's a power that we alone, the Bhaalspawn, can wield. And the only thing you need to fear... |
| 72111 But... you resist it, don't you? Why would you do that? I can feel you've murdered many, and yet you resist all the good that we alone, the Bhaalspawn, can appreciate. After all... the only thing you need to fear... |
| 72112 ...is retribution. |

| 72206 Empty Breath Potion Flask |
| 72207 Empty Breath Potion Flask |
| 72208 This flask will hold the breath potion, if you can find a font where it can be refilled. The breath potion will allow you to swim through the longer underwater tunnels beneath the enclave. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 72209 Though the water is murky and the steam from the hot spring nearly made you miss it, you notice a tunnel beneath the surface of the water. You could dive through and explore it if you wish. |
| 72210 Although the tunnel runs straight beneath the surface and you can see the distant light at the end, it is too far to swim. If you could only hold your breath for a bit longer, you could make it. |
| 72211 The tunnel snakes and turns beneath your feet. It is too dangerous to risk a dive without a rope and some way of supplying yourself with oxygen. You shall have to return later. |
| 72212 You dive through the tunnel and swim as fast as you can to the other end. |
| 72213 This magical font produces a small amount of breath potion. This magical liquid will allow you to hold your breath for an extraordinary amount of time. You can try to gather enough to fill a potion bottle if you wish. |
| 72214 The tunnels. *cough* The tunnels are the key. Abazigal's caverns are connected by underground tunnels. You will have to explore them to find your way through this maze of caves. |
| 72215 You will need an empty breath potion flask if you wish to gather the liquid. |
| 72216 You manage to gather enough of the liquid to fill the flask. |
| 72217 You cannot gather enough liquid to fill a flask. The fountain should replenish its supply by the time you've used the potion you already have. |
| 72218 Since you found your way into this chamber, you must already have discovered that certain pools within this complex contain a liquid which will allow your lungs to breathe water for a short time. *cough* *hack* *cough* |
| 72219 You must have already found some to get this far. Don't lose it! |
| 72220 I still want to know why Balthazar sent you here alone in the first place. |
| 72221 I already know about the tunnels. That's how I got here. |
| 72222 But I can't get past some of the tunnels! |
| 72223 Some of the tunnels are long and dark. *cough* It is easy to get lost within their vast expanse. *hack* *cough* If you had a rope, you could tether it in place and use it to guide you through the darkness. |
| 72224 Please tell me you have some rope. |
| 72225 Let me guess... you've got some rope right here. |
| 72226 I hid this rope within the hem of my robes in case a chance to escape this horrid place ever came. *cough* *cough* Take it. It will guide you through even the longest tunnels. |
| 72227 Is there anything else you need to tell me? |
| 72228 Thanks for the rope, sucker! I'll just leave you here and be on my way! |
| 72229 There is something else. *cough* Something you must do before you can face Abazigal. The entrance to Abazigal's inner sanctum is protected by a dragon. |
| 72230 The foul wyrm shall not stop me from reaching Abazigal! |
| 72231 Worry not. I'm quite used to killing dragons by now. |
| 72232 The dragon does not serve Abazigal willingly. *cough* She is under a geas which compels her to defend the entrance to his inner sanctum. *cough* *cough* Yet even should you defeat her, the spell which seals Abazigal's gates will not be broken. |
| 72233 When Balthazar sent me here on my... mission, *cough* I brought a powerful scroll of reversal to break the geas and open the entrance to Abazigal's private chambers. *hack* *cough* |
| 72234 The scroll was taken from me, but it cannot be destroyed. *cough* I suspect it is still in the possession of Abazigal's minions. *cough* *hack* You must find that scroll to break the geas and gain access to Abazigal himself. |
| 72235 I serve Balthazar. *cough* The fish men tortured me for weeks, yet I would not tell them more than that. But my mission is no longer important. Abazigal must be destroyed; that is all that matters. |
| 72236 Is there anything else you need to tell me? |
| 72237 An invisible wall of force keeps you from entering the cavern. You shall have to find some way to dispel it before you can enter. |
| 72238 That you shall not know. *cough* My mission dies with me. *cough* *hack* I now accept that I shall never leave this place alive. |
| 72239 Don't worry... I'll find a way to get you out of here. |
| 72240 Bad Luck |
| 72241 Listen to me, <CHARNAME>! |
| 72242 Intoxication |
| 72243 We must speak! Please! |
| 72244 Don't make me do this! |
| 72245 Abazigal's enclave I discovered one of Balthazar's followers imprisoned here. Before he died, the monk explained how I can find and defeat Abazigal. I need to find the scroll of reversal to break the geas that both enslaves a dragon guardian and seals the entrance to Abazigal's inner enclave. The caverns here are all connected by underwater tunnels. Luckily, I now have a rope and some more of the water breathing potion to allow me to explore the various tunnels. Like it or not, I guess I'm going spelunking. |
| 72246 Draconis has fallen! Lock down the enclave! They must not reach Lord Abazigal! |
| 72247 The alarm has been sounded, and Abazigal's Lair is locked down. You shall have to find another way through. |
| 72248 Greetings, offspring of my old foe. It's time we spoke, you and I. |
| 72249 But first... let's make sure we're not bothered by any of your so-called friends. This is a private matter. |
| 72250 tuy |
| 72251 hgfhg |
| 72252 Now, then. Let's get trivial matters out of the way first. Do you know who I am? |
| 72253 No. Not a clue. |
| 72254 You seem... familiar somehow... |
| 72255 You're... the current god of murder? |
| 72256 Yes. You're Cyric, reigning god of murder. |
| 72257 Tsk. You'd think Bhaal would have spread his seed out a little more intelligently. No matter. I am Cyric. The reigning god of murder... not to mention of strife, lies, and illusion. |
| 72258 You there! Intruder type! Why do you pester Lord Abazigal's most favored servant? |
| 72259 My travels are no concern of yours. |
| 72260 I seek a scroll of reversal. Have you seen one? |
| 72261 Yes, you would know, wouldn't you? I am indeed Cyric... god of murder as well as strife, lies, and illusion, amongst other things we needn't get into. |
| 72262 Who are you, and what are these... servants of yours? |
| 72263 Most recently, I've recovered from a little bout of madness... not that that's important to you... only to find the seedlings of the former holder of my office everywhere, like weeds. |
| 72264 Well, I am Iycanth the Enlightened, most favored wizard of Lord Abazigal, ruler of Toril! These lovely creatures are my latest experiment and most trusted friends. |
| 72265 Your closest friends are eyeballs? |
| 72266 Things are starting to resolve themselves, and there's only a bare few of the spawn left. Bhaalspawn like yourself... very powerful, very resourceful mortals. Like I once was. You can imagine my concern, hm? |
| 72267 I seek a scroll of reversal. Do you know of one? |
| 72268 Experiments? Eyeballs? |
| 72269 There's only a bare few of the spawn left now, of course. Like you. I'm not convinced you've the temperament or desire for the office of murder... but one can never be too sure. You can imagine my concern, hm? |
| 72270 An Untherian delicacy? About yea wide and served with leeks? |
| 72271 Um... no. A scroll of reversal. A spell to remove a geas? |
| 72272 You would be mad, I assume? |
| 72273 Note, young <PRO_MANWOMAN>, the lack of mouths or other word-spewing orifices on the orbs. You would do well to evolve so finely. Now, what do you want? |
| 72274 Well, yes, I suppose I might have one floating about my underwear drawer like a weasel. And twisting them into the most frightful knots. You get the picture. |
| 72275 Yes. Can I have the scroll? |
| 72276 Hand over the scroll, you fool, before I take it from your corpse! |
| 72277 Very well, I shall free you. (Read scroll.) |
| 72278 Why don't I just kill you and take the stone? |
| 72279 How do I know you're Cyric? You sure don't look like a god. |
| 72280 You are mad. |
| 72281 How do I know you're Cyric? You sure don't look like a god. |
| 72282 So they say. What do you want? |
| 72283 As opposed to what? Some grisly avatar like the Slayer? A cloud of smoke? A massive face in the sky with a booming voice? I am only here to talk, to gauge your threat to me... if any. |
| 72285 I seek a scroll of reversal. Do you know of one? |
| 72286 If I were a threat to you, why wouldn't you just kill me? |
| 72287 I am merely exploring. I mean no harm. |
| 72288 To slay you and take everything of value. |
| 72289 Ahh, if only things were so easy as that. But if I get involved in the whole Bhaalspawn mess, then my own opponents amongst the gods would intervene. Mystra, or... Kelemvor, perhaps. |
| 72290 Well, these are private caves. Go and bother one of the dragons if you want a bit of excitement. Good day to you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 72291 And it seems that Ao, the Overfather, has an interest in this as well... which is very odd. He wishes this little climactic end for the Bhaalspawn to play itself out without interference from the rest of us. |
| 72292 And so I, the great Cyric, am restricted to watching and observing. And yet if there is anyone who should feel threatened by a child of the former Lord of Murder, it is *me*. There is just no justice anymore. |
| 72293 Greater Werewyvern |
| 72294 Hah! Observers! Teach this monkey a lesson! (Hmm... perhaps there's a better word than monkey... no matter.) |
| 72295 Greater Werewyvern |
| 72296 I have been watching your progress for a while. Very impressive. I've formed a few conclusions, but let's hear it from the horse's mouth. How much *should* I fear you? |
| 72297 You needn't fear me... I have no designs on becoming the god of murder. |
| 72298 You're a god... I doubt you'd have any reason to fear me or anyone. |
| 72299 I seek a scroll of reversal. Do you know of one? |
| 72301 I am merely exploring. I mean no harm. |
| 72302 To slay you and take everything of value. |
| 72303 I don't know how they do things where you come from, but here in Abazigal's enclave, we work for our scrolls of reversal. |
| 72304 What do you want me to do? |
| 72305 I don't have time. Why don't you give it to me before I kill you? |
| 72306 To be honest, I can't really leave my experiments. They're quite fragile. Plus, they smell nice. Like cheese. |
| 72307 And? |
| 72308 You should fear me plenty! I'm coming for you, Cyric, I *will* achieve my destiny! |
| 72309 You should fear me like every other evil creature should! |
| 72310 Hah! Don't make me laugh! |
| 72311 I'm not going to answer that. No matter what I say, you'll make up your own mind. |
| 72312 Ha... I see. I would have expected you to say as much, <CHARNAME>. |
| 72313 *sigh* Who could have expected that this level of the Abyss, this "Throne of Bhaal" would give me such problems? Hmm. If only I could have destroyed it to begin with. |
| 72314 Why didn't you just take it over, then, when you became Lord of Murder? |
| 72315 I didn't need it. I didn't want it. I have my own plane in Pandemonium, thank you very much... much better than anywhere in the Abyss. But obviously I should have paid more attention to this dismal place. |
| 72316 But it's no matter. Can't undo what's already been done... and if you try, well, that leads to all sorts of different problems. And I'd rather not open *that* bag of worms once again. |
| 72317 As for you... you might decide to seek my realm of influence. If you even get that far, that is. But it remains to be seen if you even have the power to attempt it, never mind succeed. |
| 72318 As for you... I doubt you will seek my realm of influence. If you even get that far, that is. I have little desire to see yet another godling who might be a possible opponent... if you even have any power worth noting. |
| 72319 I think you need to be tested. That *is* what you created these little rooms for, isn't it? To test yourself? Mystra and Ao couldn't fault me for aiding you towards that end, now, could they? |
| 72320 Perhaps we will meet again. For now, let us see how you do against *my* favored. I suggest you prepare yourself. |
| 72321 Cyric |
| 72322 Cyric |
| 72323 Favored of Cyric |
| 72324 Favored of Cyric |
| 72325 Several days ago, I caught a gauth beholder lurking around my eyes. He seemed to have a bit of a crush on one of them. Regardless, he had lovely eyes. |
| 72326 Needless to say, I took a dagger and tried to harvest an eye for my experiments. The little bastard dived into one of the pools just east of here and disappeared. |
| 72327 I need that eyestalk. Unfortunately, the cavern he dove into has become infested with kobolds. |
| 72328 Kobolds? |
| 72329 Or perhaps it was elder orbs in that cave... I can't remember which. No matter. Get me the eyestalk and you can have the scroll. |
| 72330 Poor Mateo. He is alone in the world, as Minsc was before Boo found him. Yes, Booâ€â€you are right! As heroes, we must befriend the friendless. We must help the helpless. We must deaccuse the accused. Er... well, you get the idea. |
| 72331 I am a child of Bhaalâ€â€this is completely beneath me! |
| 72332 You want me to fetch this eyestalk and retrieve it for you? My standards are a little higher now. |
| 72333 This really isn't worth my time, but I guess I'll do it. |
| 72334 Iycanth the Mad |
| 72335 I refuse. Give me the scroll or I'll kill you. |
| 72336 Iycanth the Mad |
| 72337 Well, excuse me! If you're too precious for the job, why don't you subcontract? |
| 72338 To whom? |
| 72339 These men here. They seemed interested in "quests" and "adventure" earlier. |
| 72340 They appear to be rank amateurs. |
| 72341 Yes, I suppose they do. You seem resourceful. Find some way to help them, and I'm sure they'll take the "quest." |
| 72342 I sense the whiff o' potential profit, <CHARNAME>! Grieving mothers be a soft touch! |
| 72343 Iycanth's eyestalk I've been sent to fetch and retrieve a gauth beholder's eyestalk for the mad wizard Iycanth. Apparently, the gauth has disappeared into one of the pools to the east of Iycanth's lab. The job seems beneath me, though Iycanth suggested subcontracting to a small group of adventurers. They have, however, been turned to stone. If I want to give them the "quest," I'll have to turn them back. Regardless, when I have the eyestalk, I am to find my way to the wizard's lab and exchange it for the scroll of reversal. |

| 72366 This is the eyestalk of a gauth beholder. The stalk has been neatly cut through. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 72367 I have the gauth's eyestalk. |
| 72368 Nanoc the Barbarian |
| 72369 What did you want me to find for you again? |
| 72370 Nanoc the Barbarian |
| 72371 *sigh* A gauth beholder's eyestalk. He jumped into one of the pools just east of my lab. Now leave me be! |
| 72372 What is all this equipment for? |
| 72373 Bondari |
| 72374 Bondari |
| 72375 Do I have to spell it out for you? I make eyes. Floating ones. Both deadly and lovely. |
| 72376 You work for Abazigal. Do you realize how evil he is? |
| 72377 I see. What did you want me to find for you again? |
| 72378 What about the eggs? |
| 72379 That is where my precious orbs are incubated. My finest batch yet is currently in incubation. Do NOT touch them. |
| 72380 Tim Goldenhand |
| 72381 That's all for now. |
| 72382 Tim Goldenhand |
| 72383 Good day to you. |
| 72384 Nothing for now. |
| 72385 Lord Abazigal is my patron. If he wants to take over the world and slaughter all of his siblings, that's no business of mine. Sure, I'm developing a super army of deadly orbs for him, but it's really not my place to judge the morality of it all. I am merely a student of arcane lore. |
| 72386 That still doesn't excuse you from being held accountable for your actions. |
| 72387 Your excuses mean nothing to me. I will kill you and Abazigal! |
| 72388 So you want to play! Let us, then, "get it on"! |
| 72389 Actually, I think it does that quite nicely. Now, leave me be! |
| 72390 I have some questions for you, Kiser. |
| 72391 I seek a scroll of reversal. Do you know of one? |
| 72392 Ah, most excellent! Here then, is your scroll of reversal. Now, you must excuse me. I have a new son to raise. |
| 72393 Leave me now. I tire of your face and odor. |
| 72394 So you tried to betray Saradush to its enemies and failed. Evil schemes to destroy a city are never as simple as they first seem, are they? I learned that hard lesson at Baldur's Gate. |
| 72395 Die, twisted fiend! |
| 72396 Die, cursed eyeball! Wha� Uh...? ...Do I, uh, know you? |
| 72397 I have freed you from your stone prison, young adventurer. |
| 72398 No, but you'll know death soon enough. Die! |
| 72399 Uh, thanks. Guys, are you okay? |
| 72400 Yeah. |
| 72401 Yes (no thanks to you... can't even backstab an eyeball!). |
| 72402 Uh... I guess I should thank you for saving us. Is there some way we brave adventurers can repay your kindness? Something we can do for you to fulfill our debt of gratitude. Anything? Anything at all? |
| 72403 A terrible evil has swept across the land, and the lives of millions hang in balance. You have been chosen, Bondari, and you must not fail in your quest! |
| 72404 A quest! Wow! This is great! What do we have to do? |
| 72405 You could tell me how you come to be here. |
| 72406 Just put up a good fight, dog! |
| 72407 Ah! Tim, cast magic missile! Nanoc! Attack! I'm outta here! |
| 72408 I am Nanoc the Barbarian! I was raised in the harsh lands of the North and am immune to your pathetic civilized ways. With steel in hand, I walk amongst unknown dangers! Always, I am victori... |
| 72409 Die! For the Black Sun! |
| 72410 Sure you are, Nanoc. This conversation is over. |
| 72411 What did I say? |
| 72412 A fiendish beholder and his kobold cohorts have infested a cave to the east of here. An evil dragon threatens the land! I must have the beholder's eyestalk to slay the dragon and save the country from certain doom! |
| 72413 By Mask's mask! We can't let this happen! |
| 72414 Go, noble adventurer, and retrieve the eyestalk. The fate of Tethyr lies in your hands! |
| 72415 What kind of reward do we get? |
| 72416 The satisfaction of a job well done. Do not argueâ€â€even now the dragon raises his army to crush the world! |
| 72417 I shall give you... 100 gold! |
| 72418 100 gold! We're rich! You have a deal, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. We shall fetch this eyestalk and save the world. C'mon, guys! |
| 72419 Wait! I have to rest and memorize magic missile! |
| 72420 Worry not, elf. Nanoc will protect you! |
| 72421 Well, we will be saving the world... All right, we'll do it! Let's go, boys! |
| 72422 I am Tim Goldenhand, an elf from the forest of Thorn Wood. My parents were slain when I was a babe, and I was raised by wolves until the age of 20. Eventually, a beautiful ranger, entranced by my mysterious wildness, took me from the forest and... |
| 72423 Never mind. |
| 72424 The story's really interesting. You should hear the whole thing! |
| 72425 I am Bondari Halfman! I left my peaceful village in the Dales, seeking adventure and fortune! I met Tim and Nanoc in a tavern, and we formed a party to explore the Underdark. Well, we found a cave. Then we found some eyes. Then they turned us to stone. |
| 72426 Right. Why don't you just stay here where it's safe? |
| 72427 Uh, all right. |
| 72428 I have a job for you, Bondari. A terrible evil has swept across the land, and the lives of millions hang in balance. You have been chosen, Bondari, and you must not fail in your quest! |
| 72429 Boo does not trust this Kiser, <CHARNAME>. See how his nose twitches? Something smells about this, and it is not stinky clouds from Boo's furry backside. |
| 72430 (I'm telling you we can take <CHARNAME>. Nanoc, you are unfettered by the weaknesses of the civilized world! Tim, you can cast magic missile! I will backstab. I bet <PRO_HESHE> has all kinds of great treasure!) |
| 72431 Be wary of this one, <CHARNAME>. I come from a world of deceit, lies, and betrayals. I suspect this Kiser would be most comfortable in my homeland. |
| 72432 (But Tim is terrible. Remember the kobold king? He cast one spell, then hid behind a rock while we had to slay everyone!) |
| 72433 (Hey! I have the healing potions! I heal you!) |
| 72434 (I can shrug off a blow that would fell a normal man! Unfettered by your civilized ways, I...) |
| 72435 (Enough! Ready...) ATTACK! |
| 72436 Uh, here's your eyestalk, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. We found something else too. I hope you like it. |
| 72437 Well done, Bondari. Here is your reward. |
| 72438 You have saved us all, noble hero. |
| 72439 Great, now get lost. |
| 72440 Thanks. It was a good quest. I found a dagger, and Tim here got a scroll of identify. In a couple of days, he'll be able to tell me about my dagger. |
| 72441 Hi. |
| 72442 Thanks again, <CHARNAME>! Bye! Good luck with the dragon! |
| 72443 I bid you a "farewell" suitably unfettered by civilization. |
| 72444 The Ravager |
| 72445 The Ravager |
| 72446 This just proves what I've said all along... the only good wizard is a dead wizard. |
| 72447 Oh, sure... everybody blames the mage. (It must be envy that makes these inferiors resent us so.) |
| 72448 Out of professional courtesy, I must insist we slay the countess rather than my fellow mage. (Although killing the wizard could lead to the acquisition of several powerful magic items...) |
| 72449 I don't mind slaying this wizard, but the idea of slaughtering the countess in cold blood churns my stomach. |
| 72450 Murder for hire? <CHARNAME>, this goes against everything I stand for. |
| 72451 Relax, Jaheira. We haven't even done anything yet. |
| 72452 I call the shots around here, Harper! Or did I miss a vote where we decided you were in charge? |
| 72453 You are right, <CHARNAME>. I will judge you by what you actually do, not what I fear you might do. |
| 72454 You... you are not the <PRO_MANWOMAN> I thought you were, <CHARNAME>. I can no longer stay by your side. |
| 72455 Surely you cannot be considering this vile offer, <CHARNAME>? |
| 72456 Patience, Anomen. Trust me, this will all work out in the end. |
| 72457 If you don't like the way I do things, you can leave anytime! |
| 72458 Yes, <CHARNAME>, you are right. Patience is a virtue. I will trust you to do the right thing. |
| 72459 I shame myself by remaining in your presence, <CHARNAME>. I thought you a <PRO_LADYLORD> of virtue, but I see I was a blind fool. We must part ways here. |
| 72460 This low villain deserves nothing but contempt... as do you, <CHARNAME>, if you listen to his words! |
| 72461 Calm down, Mazzy. You're judging me for things I haven't even done yet. |
| 72462 I'm sick of you butting in, you self-righteous bleeding heart! |
| 72463 Yes, I suppose you are right. Very well, <CHARNAME>... I shall reserved judgment in this matter for now. |
| 72464 Your cruel tongue is a fine fit for your vile character, <CHARNAME>. I will stay with you no more! |
| 72465 The words of this foul cretin are an affront to my very ears! <CHARNAME>, surely you cannot tolerate this villain and his unscrupulous offers! |
| 72466 Settle down, Keldorn. This will all turn out okay. |
| 72467 The last thing I need is a lecture from a washed-up old geezer like you! |
| 72468 You have earned my trust through our shared deeds, <CHARNAME>. Therefore, I shall exercise patience in this matter. |
| 72469 You are nothing but a cur! <CHARNAME>, the <PRO_LADYLORD> of all that is rotten and vile! My honor demands that I leave your company at once! |
| 72470 Such insolence! My sentinels shall eradicate your existence from this world! |
| 72471 Bone Blade |
| 72472 Bone Blade |
| 72473 Urge To Kill |
| 72474 I know you're involved, Kiser. I just want a piece of the action. |
| 72475 I know you're involved, Kiser. I just want a piece of the action. |
| 72476 Several days later... |
| 72477 I do not wish to leave at this time. |
| 72478 I do not wish to leave at this time. |
| 72479 Bondari reloads... |
| 72480 I am what lies within you. |
| 72481 I am the ultimate expression of your power, godling. |
| 72482 I am the last of the barricades you have erected between yourself and destiny. Defeat me and this plane is no more... there will only be the Throne of Bhaal. |
| 72483 But you will not defeat me. For I am the Ravager. |
| 72484 With the last child of Bhaal dead, you may now enter the Abyssal realm of the Throne of Bhaal. Once you do so, the pocket plane will be destroyed forever. |
| 72485 If you got business, you better go upstairs and talk to Kiser. There's nothing to see down here. |
| 72486 What are we doing here? Uh... we're standing guard. What's it look like? |
| 72487 What are you doing down here in Kiser's basement? |
| 72488 But this place is empty... there's nothing to guard. |
| 72489 I guess I'll be going then. |
| 72490 You can't be very good at your job... not if Kiser's stuck you down here. |
| 72491 All righty, then. I guess I'll be on my way. |
| 72492 Look... Kiser gives the orders. We just follow them. He wants us in the basement, so that's where we go. Get it? |
| 72493 So get back on upstairs. Kiser doesn't want anyone snooping around his basement! |
| 72494 Gromnir's Barracks |
| 72495 Standing before you is a djinni of immense power, the air thick with electricity around it. It regards you coolly. "Greetings to you, spellweaver. Are you ready to begin negotiations?" |
| 72496 Negotiations? What do you mean? |
| 72497 I don't have time to negotiate in the middle of combat! |
| 72498 I am ready. |
| 72499 No, I have changed my mind. Return to whence you came. |
| 72500 The djinni grins widely, winking at you. "Perhaps the wisest of courses, spellweaver. Very well... it shall be as you wish." |
| 72501 The being pauses a moment, surprised, before chuckling with amusement. "We are between moments here, spellcaster. Time has no bearing on you and me while we speak; have no worry." |
| 72502 Then explain to me what you meant by negotiations. |
| 72503 Then let us begin. |
| 72504 Never mind. Return to where you came from, djinni. |
| 72505 Ekim Cyre |
| 72506 "The spell you have cast is an attempt to temporarily control vast cosmic power. It is unstable and therefore only truly useful in combat events... unless you have years to devote to the formulation of your wish, of course." |
| 72507 "It is that formulation that requires negotiation." The djinni pulls a quill and a paper scroll from the air, grinning. "Since you do not have years to waste, you will attempt to describe to me what you desire from your wish." |
| 72508 "And I," here the djinni looks pleased, "will use my vast intelligence to distort your purpose as I please. Don't feel bad... the forces at work here are such that it is not often that one gets what one truly hopes for." |
| 72509 "But you can certainly try. The wise often do well... and you spellweavers are often quite wise, yes?" It taps its quill thoughtfully on its head. "Do you wish to begin, then?" |
| 72510 Ekim Cyre |
| 72511 But we don't have time to do all this in the middle of combat! |
| 72512 Yes, let's begin. |
| 72513 No, I have changed my mind. Return to whence you came. |
| 72514 Mateo's Cell |
| 72515 The djinni nods. "As you say." Quickly, the two of you begin negotiating a complex contract. The djinni is tricky, carefully attempting to twist your meaning with words, legal phrases, and clauses that you can barely understand... |
| 72516 You gain a sudden, deeper understanding of the mysteries of the world, as if a door had been opened within your mind. <GABBER> gained 1 point of WISDOM. |
| 72517 Fortunately, you are quick to catch on. Before long, you begin tricking the djinni's phrasings yourself, leaving it quite frustrated. You still doubt you'll get what you want, but chances are the djinni won't be able to trick you. |
| 72518 You have found a small hidden switch behind a trap. You shall have to disarm the trap if you wish to flick the switch. |
| 72519 You flick the switch and hear the muffled turning of gears. |
| 72520 You are wise enough to keep pace with the djinni, preventing the being from taking total advantage of you. Still... the contract is hard to understand, and you wonder at the end result. |
| 72521 You suddenly feel sure of yourself, and you radiate a powerful confidence... a confidence others can see in you. <GABBER> gained 1 point of CHARISMA. |
| 72522 Throughout the process, the djinni continues to baffle you... and you are not even sure if your desired wish will be similar to your original premise. At best, you stall the worst of the clauses. |
| 72523 As you flick the final switch, you hear a door open. |
| 72524 Your lack of wisdom leaves you at a complete disadvantage. Throughout the writing of the contract, the djinni all but bullies you mentally into a position of watching him all but write the complex document on his own... there are few objections you can make. |
| 72525 The contract complete, the djinni dons a pair of spectacles and looks it over with an arched brow. "Very well, spellcaster. I can interpret the items listed here in the following ways. Choose carefully which you would prefer." |
| 72526 Breach on everyone in the area, including the party. |
| 72527 Blow all people, including party members, away from the caster. |
| 72528 Heal everyone, party members and enemies included. |

| 72535 Silence on everyone in the area, including party members. |

| 72537 Improved haste on all party members. |
| 72538 Breach on all enemies in the area. |
| 72539 Restoration on all party members. |
| 72540 Your limbs feel quick and agile, and there is a new spring in your step. <GABBER> gained 1 point of DEXTERITY. |
| 72541 Raise all party members' characteristics to 25 for 4 rounds. |
| 72542 Resurrection on all dead party members. |
| 72543 All party members gain the temporary ability Greater Deathblow. |
| 72544 You feel a tingling at the base of your brain, which quickly spreads throughout your entire skull. <GABBER> gained 1 point of INTELLIGENCE. |
| 72545 All party members gain the temporary ability Hardiness. |
| 72546 Create a random wand in the caster's inventory. |
| 72547 Create a random potion in the caster's inventory. |
| 72548 Make it as if the entire party has just rested a full night and rememorized all their spells. |
| 72549 Cast a double-length time stop and improved alacrity on the caster. |
| 72550 Heal all enemies in the area. |
| 72551 Improved haste on all enemies in the area. |

| 72553 Level drain two levels from each party member. |
| 72554 Temporarily remove half of the caster's HP. |
| 72555 Temporarily remove 15% of all party members' HPs. |
| 72556 Caster loses all memorized spells. |
| 72557 Party loses 10,000 gp. |
| 72558 Bring a "meteor swarm" down upon the caster. |
| 72559 Temporarily reduce the Strength of all party members to 3. |
| 72560 Temporarily reduce the Wisdom of all party members to 3. |
| 72561 Temporarily reduce the Constitution of all party members to 3. |
| 72562 Temporarily reduce the Dexterity of all party members to 3. |
| 72563 Temporarily reduce the Intelligence of all party members to 3. |
| 72564 Slow the entire party. |
| 72565 Come to my lab when you have the eyestalk. One of the other pools should get you in. |
| 72566 Why do I continually find myself subjected to these inane conversations? We should focus on shaping the destiny of all Faerûn... and not discussing cheese! |
| 72567 You know, I consider myself something of a cheese connoisseur. Why, when I was in the cracker-smuggling... uh, I mean shipping... business, an intimate knowledge of cheese seemed like an occupational necessity. For some inexplicable reason, everyone in Amn wanted to put cheese on their crackers. Of course, I prefer turnips myself. |
| 72568 I admit I'm no cheese expert, but have you taken a good whiff of your pets recently? I don't know anyone who'd put something with the stench of this place in their mouth. |
| 72569 Kobolds? I can hardly even work up a sweat against those ankle-biting fleabags anymore, <CHARNAME>! But wholesale slaughter can be fun too, aye! |
| 72570 Kobolds spread like vermin, <CHARNAME>. Even though it may be beneath us, we should stamp out their nest. |
| 72571 Mighty heroes like Minsc and <CHARNAME> cannot prove themselves against such unworthy opponents... maybe Boo should tackle them alone. Minsc is joking, of course. Let the kobold butt-kicking begin! |
| 72572 We are not running a courier service, <CHARNAME>. Let us restore these petrified lackeys to do this fetch-and-retrieve errand for us. |
| 72573 Even if we intend to perform this wizard's task ourselves, we should still restore these unfortunate adventurers to life. |
| 72574 Another wizard who cares nothing about the consequences of his mad experiments on the rest of the world. Am I the only one not surprised by this? |
| 72575 Shut up, Tim! Greetings, my, uh... <PRO_LADYLORD>. I am Bondari Quickhand, a thief. These are my companions Nanoc the Barbarian and Tim Goldenhand. He's an elf. And a mage. |
| 72576 So young and eager... *sigh* I can hardly believe that I was ever as naive and innocent as these three. |
| 72577 Truly, <CHARNAME>, I am amazed. Rarely have I ever seen anyone so obviously in over their foolish heads as this young trio. |
| 72578 This child is your offspring, <CHARNAME>... it shares the blood of Bhaal. At Saradush you saw what happened to your kin. There is nowhere I can go, no place I can hide that will keep our baby from being hunted and slaughtered. |
| 72579 While the babe still dwells within me, it will draw its strength from me. |
| 72580 If the child is born before we finish our adventures, I shall bundle it on my backâ€â€as is the custom of my people, the avariel. |
| 72581 I don't know if I want him named that... |
| 72582 Definitely not. |
| 72583 *sigh* All right, my love. We'll think of a name for him later, if you like. Just allow me to call him Quayle until we do is all I ask. Just... a little while. |
| 72584 That's fine. We can think of something else later. |
| 72585 The small creature looks at you with suspicion, and after a moment's inspection, it turns and gives you full view of its rear while it strolls to <CHARNAME>. |
| 72586 The familiar sighs, its nose twitching slightly with curiosity as it looks up with dark eyes. "What is it now, <PRO_MANWOMAN>? I am hungry. I wish to be petted and fed." |
| 72587 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 72588 The familiar eyes your pack and then reluctantly crawls inside. "Very well. It is better that you carry me. Do not bump me around so much this time." |
| 72589 *pet the familiar* |
| 72590 "Aahhhh..." The familiar half-closes its eyes with contentment, a pleased smile creeping across its face. "Yes, this is good. Food would also be nice." |
| 72591 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 72592 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 72593 The animal looks at you, fairly close to bewildered. "Me? I suppose I have thoughts that it would amuse me to share, but would you even regard them, <PRO_MANWOMAN>?" |
| 72602 How are you? Everything okay down there? |
| 72603 It looks up with dark eyes, seemingly content to just be near you. It sighs and looks away briefly. "We are connected, you and I. If you are well, so am I." |
| 72604 "But I myself have a few insignificant injuries. I am strengthened because you are stronger than I. If you could treat my wounds, it would please me." |
| 72605 "But I myself am hurt very badly. I bleed, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I may survive, or I may not... we shall see." |
| 72606 "But since you ask, I am possessed of a craving for food. Procure some for me, and I shall allow you to pet me for a while longer." |
| 72607 "But I think you are a good enough traveling companion. I am pleased with the progress we make. Perhaps I shall remain with you for some time to come; we shall see." |
| 72608 The small animal seems to ponder saying something else, but eventually its attention drifts and it finds something more interesting than you elsewhere. Walking away, it presents its tail and bum to you. |
| 72609 "But all is well enough, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Why? Are you not well? You will not sicken and die on me, <PRO_MANWOMAN>, would you? If you did, it would sadden me, for a while." |
| 72610 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 72611 The familiar eyes your pack for a moment, and then reluctantly crawls inside. "Very well. It is better that you carry me. Do not bump me around so much this time, however." |
| 72612 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 72613 The familiar eyes your pack for a moment, and then reluctantly crawls inside. "Very well. It is better that you carry me. Do not bump me around so much this time, however." |
| 72614 Give me anything you have pickpocketed, will you? |
| 72615 "*sigh* Very well. Although next time, don't expect such cooperation just from a few seconds of petting." |
| 72616 Let's just keep going, then. |
| 72617 The familiar sighs and turns its eyes disinterestedly to the path before you. "I would prefer to choose our path myself, but you'll no doubt want to be stubborn." |
| 72618 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 72619 How are you? Everything okay down there? |
| 72620 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 72621 Come here. I want to pick you up and put you in my pack, where it's a bit safer. |
| 72622 Give me anything you have pickpocketed, will you? |
| 72623 The familiar eyes you suspiciously. "But when I take things, they belong to me." |
| 72624 Never mind that. Hand it over. |
| 72625 The small animal rolls its eyes and sighs petulantly. "Fine. But you are very cruel to me, you know." |
| 72626 Pretty please? I'll feed you and pet you... |
| 72627 The small animal twitches its tail, pondering. "Well... perhaps. But I would not put it past you not to keep your word. *sigh* Oh, very well. It amuses me when you beg." |
| 72628 Oh, never mind, then. |
| 72629 "As it should be. I earned it, after all." |
| 72630 Perhaps later. Let's just keep going. |
| 72631 The creature stares with open derision, sticking out its forked tongue rudely. It scoots off to <CHARNAME>. Obviously, it doesn't want to talk to you... |
| 72632 The impish creature regards you suspiciously, wary of a kick or slap headed its way, before sidling a step or two closer. "Yeah, boss? You want something?" |
| 72633 Come here. You're going in my pack for now. |
| 72634 "Oh, sure. Stick me in your smelly pack. Ever thought of putting some mint in there? Baaah..." Reluctantly, the imp crawls into your pack. |
| 72635 Don't be so frightened of me, idiot. *pet the familiar* |
| 72636 It seems disgusted as you pat it on the head. "Oh, now I'm a cute little bunny? Give me a break, boss." The imp darts away and does a heebie-jeebie dance. |
| 72637 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72638 *slap it in the head* |
| 72639 The imp reels from the blow. "HeeEEYY! Cripes! What wuz that for?! I did everything you told me to, boss! Sheesh! Some people..." |
| 72640 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72641 *slap it again* |
| 72642 Another slap sends it to the floor, frantically covering its head. "Gaaah! Okay! You're the boss-<PRO_MANWOMAN>! YOU boss, ME just little follower! I get it!" |
| 72643 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72644 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 72645 It looks at you incredulously, wondering if you are serious or if this is a prelude to a slap. "You want *me* to give *you* advice, boss? That's a first." |
| 72654 So... is all well down there? |
| 72655 It looks at you suspiciously, its sulfur eyes squinting. "Hmph. Since when are you so interested in me, boss? Up 'til now, it's all been you, you, you." |
| 72656 "But if you're really concerned, you could get me some healing. I got scratches, you know... you wouldn't want me to die, would you? I'm too useful!" |
| 72657 "But since you're asking, I could use healing. Ichor's running bad... you wouldn't want to send me back to the planes, would you? *That* would be a shame..." |
| 72658 "But, hmmm, let me see. I'm kinda hungry. How about a puppy sandwich? A steak? A chicken sacrifice? C'mon, throw me a bone here, sheesh!" |
| 72659 "But since you asked, I think you should get more gold. I wanna sleep in a BIG bag of gold. I could swim in it... yeah, that's it, swim in the gold... yeah..." |
| 72660 "But I would like to say that you run around too much. Here, there, back again... sheesh! Don't you ever stop awhile, set up shop? Gimme a break, boss!" |
| 72661 "But since you asked, I wanna register a complaint. Where's all *my* magical stuff? I want a big sword... and a bag of holding... and some wands, yeah, wands..." |
| 72662 All right, let's just keep going. |
| 72663 It looks ahead and sighs, scratching its rear luridly. "Oh, sure. Only, what, another fifty years of wanderin' around? Don't you ever settle down? Sheesh..." |
| 72664 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72665 It rolls its eyes. "Oh, sure. Stick me in your smelly pack. Ever thought of sticking some mint in there? Baaah..." It reluctantly crawls in. |
| 72666 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72667 It rolls its eyes. "Oh, sure. Stick me in your smelly pack. Ever thought of sticking some mint in there? Baaah..." It reluctantly crawls in. |
| 72668 *slap it again* |
| 72669 "Ow! Dammit, stop it! I'll do whatever you say, just stop slappin'!" It takes steps away, muttering something about "abusive codependent relationships" or similar. |
| 72670 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72671 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 72672 So... is all well down there? |
| 72673 All right, let's just keep going. |
| 72674 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72675 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72676 *slap it again* |
| 72677 The imp darts away at the last second. "Nyah! Thhhppppfffttt! You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn! You suck!" It dashes away before a reprisal can come. |
| 72678 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 72679 Is all well down there? |
| 72680 All right, let's just keep going. |
| 72681 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72682 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72683 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72684 Come here, then. Get in my pack. |
| 72685 You wouldn't happen to have any advice, would you? |
| 72686 Is all well down there? |
| 72687 All right, let's just keep going. |
| 72688 *slap it in the head* |
| 72689 Come here. You're going in my pack for now. |
| 72690 Come here. You're going in my pack for now. |
| 72691 Do have any advice for me, my familiar? |
| 72692 Are you all right, familiar? All is well? |
| 72693 Never mind. Just keep moving. |
| 72694 The little dragon looks up at you for a moment, its eyes shimmering. "You must survive, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. Your heritage places you in great danger!" It whips its tail about agitatedly. |
| 72695 Its bright eyes look piercingly into yours. "There has been so much death, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. So much destruction. But I trust you will find the way to do what is right." |
| 72696 For a moment, the dragon growls fiercely. "The imposter must die, my <PRO_LADYLORD>! You must somehow go into the Throne of Bhaal and confront her!" |
| 72697 It scratches its head for a moment before replying. "There's big trouble, boss. The time has come for all you Bhaalspawn. The jig's up. Time to pay the piper, you know. Just don't get cracked is all I can say about it." |
| 72698 The impish creature grins from ear to ear. "Well... kill them before they kill you. That's what my grandpappy always said. Until he was, um, killed..." |
| 72699 It shrugs. "Seems simple to me, boss. Kill the bitch." |
| 72700 The little animal shrugs, bored. "I do not know what advice to give. The wizard is dead, you have your soul... can you not just leave?" It yawns widely. "Maybe build an army. Isn't that what you do?" |
| 72701 It blinks several times, thinking hard. "It... seems to me that there is a reason that all the children of Bhaal are coming together. You must end it, I think." It grins suddenly. "And, of course, you must win!" |
| 72702 "The only answer must be obvious... you must find this female who has lied to you and kill her! You must travel to the Abyss, and her life must be ended!" It shrugs. "Or, at least, that's what I would do." |
| 72703 Create Wand |
| 72704 Help us! Someone! |
| 72705 The army will kill us all! |
| 72706 Run for your lives! |
| 72707 Ha ha ha! |
| 72708 It's them! The ones Yaga-Shura wanted! |
| 72709 That's the Bhaalspawn that was supposed to be in the city! |
| 72710 Get them! There's a reward! |
| 72711 The final guardians of the seal are awakened, and you know that you must defeat them with ease if you are ever to face the Imprisoned One and survive. |
| 72712 You may not set any more traps in this area. |
| 72713 You place the key into the lock. Click again to turn the key and unleash whatever guardians await you. |

| 72715 Aerie's Baby |
| 72716 The child of Aerie and <CHARNAME>. He seems quite cute. STATISTICS: Weight: 10 |
| 72717 Fire in the hole! |
| 72718 So... you survived retribution. I didn't. But then, you know how to kill a lot better than I did. |
| 72719 Strange thing is, the longer you survive, the more blood you have on your hands. And there's never an end to the retribution. |
| 72720 Or is there? |
| 72721 You find no signs of monsters in this area. |
| 72722 From the signs that you find, you cannot discern what type of creatures inhabit this area. |
| 72723 spiders and undead, among other things, |
| 72724 demonic creatures |
| 72725 planar beings |
| 72726 imps |
| 72727 fire, slime, ice, and air-based creatures |
| 72728 You find the spoor of many types of monsters, primarily planar. All of the tracks seem to lead from just in front of the giant machine that dominates the central room. |
| 72729 dragons |
| 72730 undead and lycanthropes |
| 72731 mind flayers and their slaves |
| 72732 githyanki |

| 72737 fire giants |
| 72738 Yaga-Shura's army |
| 72739 kuo toans |
| 72740 You find the spoor of something... odd. |
| 72741 trolls |
| 72742 spiders |
| 72743 yuan-ti |
| 72744 beholders |
| 72745 drow |
| 72746 umber hulks and spiders |
| 72747 umber hulks |

STATISTICS: Weight: 45 |
| 72867 Found within a long-forgotten pocket of our collected pantology, herein tales the lie of the Metal "Unit." Gargantua was self-proclaimed lord of his immeasurable lower regions until his son, Pantagruel, questioned the accuracy of the ruler. With his shortcomings exposed, great Gargantua lay prostrate upon the ground while Pantagruel sought to cover his cuirass in case his now governing body lost its sway. He was warned that the people would cut him no slacks, but he never listened, and had burned his britches behind him. Undaunted, he fulfilled his animus with the robes of his father, as uncomfortable as that might sound, and shaped the Metal "Unit" with his own hands. The rule of Pantagruel was a discommoding morass, his armor eventually suffering a breach in the breech that proved his undoing. As his basket left the pantry, so to speak, his regime fell to insurrection, and so complete was the sacking that not even his Metal "Unit" could be found. The component pieces, a pantaloon triumvirate, were lost in the annals of time. You now bear the awesome responsibility of the Metal "Unit." Gussets of wind, seams like reality, pockets of resistance, the seat of power, and legs as flared as your temper. Polish it well; the onus is now on you.

| 72870 Bounty Notice |
| 72871 This short document appears to be an official bounty from the crown of Tethyr offering gold... 100,000 gold pieces, in fact... for proof of <CHARNAME>'s death. All Bhaalspawn are indicated to be dangerous, but <CHARNAME> is singled out as being doubly so and responsible for the destruction of Saradush and the loss of so many lives there as well as elsewhere. A rough but accurate description follows. |
| 72872 This is a personal letter written in an elegant hand: "My faithful general, Jamis, I implore you to move with great urgency to intercept the Bhaalspawn <CHARNAME> before <PRO_HESHE> can do any more damage. Whether or not <PRO_HESHE> is responsible for what occurred in Saradush, we cannot allow <PRO_HIMHER> to continue and cannot afford the time for a trial... if we could even capture <PRO_HIMHER>. Our other forces are busy containing the riots in Myratma and keeping opportunists from our borders... you are our only hope in stopping <CHARNAME>. Use any measures necessary... and be safe, my old friend. May the gods help us all, Queen-Monarch Zaranda Rhindaun" |

| 73155 Glad to be of help. |
| 73156 A reward might be nice for helping you out...? |
| 73157 Yes, well, after I kill you and loot your gold, it won't worry you quite so much. |
| 73158 Wh-whaaat? Aiiieee! More hoodlums! Waukeen preserve me! |
| 73159 Why yes, of course. I wish I had more to give, but my entire caravan is practically ruined... I shall be out of business for some time to come, I fear. But it is far preferable to death. I hope this suffices... |
| 73160 Here, do take this coin as a token of my gratitude. With my caravan destroyed, I am a bit in dire straits... but it is far preferable to death, I am sure. And I still retain most of my goods, after all. |
| 73161 The trick, now, shall be to wait for my next caravan to arrive by this way and move all the goods out of the wagon. That will not be for a few days yet. If you do wish to purchase something before they come, I would be happy to give you a good price. |
| 73162 Do you know anything about a community of fire giants nearby? |
| 73163 No, I'm afraid not. I steer well clear of the mountains. I would risk the glade, perhaps, even for all its spirits... but I wouldn't go there. |

| 73214 Nothing more can be done with the now-extinguished brazier. |
| 73215 I may have the heart you speak of... is this it? |
| 73216 I may have the heart you speak of... is this it? |
| 73217 Mmmm... it is Nyalee's own heart in the chest, oh yes. But it does Nyalee little good to haves her heart without the boy's. Find his heart, spawn-child... I needs them both! |
| 73218 Mmmm... it is the boy's heart, oh yes. The heart of the giant, Yaga-Shura. But you must finds my own heart too, spawn-child. I cans do nothing to the boy's heart without my own. |
| 73219 Where would I find these hearts? |
| 73220 Where would I find these hearts? |
| 73221 What kind of reward will you give me if I retrieve these hearts? |
| 73222 What kind of reward will you give me if I retrieve these hearts? |
| 73223 Very well. I shall seek out these hearts and return. |
| 73224 Very well. I shall seek out these hearts and return. |
| 73225 No! I do not trust you! I will not help you do this. |
| 73226 No! I do not trust you! I will not help you do this. |
| 73227 I may have the heart you spoke of... is this it? |

| 73252 Welcome to Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, the expansion pack to Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and the finale to the Child of Bhaal storyline. This continues the main storyline after the events of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn with new areas on a brand-new map, including the area of Watcher's Keep Dungeon. You are not required to have finished BGII: SoA in order to play BGII: ToB, but once you start the final adventure, you can no longer travel back to the areas in Shadows of Amn. You can begin Throne of Bhaal by importing your characters or even your entire party from Shadows of Amn. Or you can choose to create a brand new character.

| 73256 Chapter 8 It has begun. Even before I left Suldanessellar, the news had already begun pouring in from everywhere... tales of armies on the move, whole towns being destroyed to get at some lone wizard, massive carnage and destruction along the entire Sword Coast. It all links to the Bhaalspawn. They are being hunted, or hunting each other... whatever the case, wherever a child of Bhaal is, violence soon follows. And so the fear and panic have spread, with any innocent even suspected of having the taint being driven from their homes or killed outright. Even the elven lands are not immune, and I sensed considerable relief upon my departure from the very city that I helped save. Ellesime, at least, offered me some advice... there is a part of the old elven woods that houses old ancestor spirits of the elves, spirits locked within giant carved faces made so long ago not even the elves remember when they were created. It is a sacred place reserved only for royalty, but Ellesime is allowing me to enter the dale and glean what wisdom I can. I have gone alone... none of the elven forest folk want to be near me. And while no others are supposed to be here, I am sure that danger stalks me yet. I should prepare my weapons and equipment and be ready for anything... |
| 73257 Chapter 10 All has finally been revealed to me. Bhaal is not returning. Perhaps he might have, if evil could be counted on to do as it is asked. Bhaal left the key to his resurrection with his high priestess, and she has betrayed him, using all the power of the collected souls of Bhaal's dead children to turn herself into a goddess and leave Bhaal dead where he belongs. Melissan tricked her former master, and she tricked me. She manipulated all the Bhaalspawn, even the members of the Five that she had collected secretly to kill the others. Even Balthazar, who didn't trust her and intended to kill her. I am the last of Bhaal's children... but even now Melissan holds most of the power that he once had. She is in the Abyss... and my only means of getting there was to destroy the pocket plane that I had unintentionally created. I am ready to face her now. There is no turning back. |
| 73258 Chapter 9 Saradush has been sacked. Yaga-Shura had burst through the wall to find a Bhaalspawn... myself. I was not there, however, so he contented himself with destroying everything in his path, including all the other children of Bhaal that had sought refuge there. Melissan survived, though she seemed devastated. I am one of the few Bhaalspawn that remain... the only others are a group comprised individually of the most powerful of Bhaal's children that remain in Faerûn. They have been hunting their siblings, including me, but to what end even Melissan doesn't know. Perhaps they seek to raise Bhaal and become his earthbound avatars. Perhaps they seek to become gods themselves. But they will not rest until I am dead... and their powers combined are enough to destroy even me, so Melissan claims. I have little choice but to take Melissan's offer of help. She knows of a safe haven in the Calishite desert... a place called Amkethran... from which I can plan how best to confront these Bhaalspawn who hunt me and end all questions about my future and my destiny... whatever it may truly be... once and for all. |
| 73259 Apparently, this passage has been warded so that it is only a one-way route. Another exit will have to be found. |
| 73260 Gromnir's Guards' Barracks |
| 73261 What do you mean you "wish" you could be scared? |
| 73262 Yes, well, I'll be on my way. |
| 73263 Who'd you say you were, again? |
| 73264 Is you a Bhaalspawn?! Please don't eat me! Daddy said Bhaalspawns eat little boys! *sob* |
| 73265 Don't worry... I'm here to help you, not hurt you. |
| 73266 I am a Bhaalspawn, but I don't eat little boys. My name is <GABBER>. |
| 73267 Your daddy was rightâ€â€I'm here to eat you! RARRR! |
| 73268 Eeek! Help me! The Bhaalspawn is going to eat me! |
| 73269 You won't eat me? Promise? My name is Tazit. If you're not going to eat me, can you help my daddy? |
| 73270 I'll look into it. |
| 73271 Aye! |
| 73272 Skeleton Archer |
| 73273 Skeleton Archer |
| 73274 Who DARES disturb our rest?! You shall pay! |
| 73275 This cavern is sealed by order of Balthazar. I do not suggest you enter. |
| 73276 Why? What's wrong with it? |
| 73277 I'll go where I like. |
| 73278 Thanks for the advice. |
| 73279 This is where the town's dead are buried, and lately there have been disturbing reports of... the dead having risen. Powerful creatures have awoken inside, although we are not sure why. |
| 73280 Why don't you do something about it, then? |
| 73281 Then I've definitely got to go inside! |
| 73282 Thanks for the info. |
| 73283 I am not at liberty to discuss Balthazar's reasoning with you. Ask him yourself if you've the chance. |
| 73284 I'm here to prevent innocent villagers, not strangers bristling with magic weapons, from going to their deaths. I'd let you go in, but the cavern is magically sealed. Sorry. |
| 73285 Yes, well, on your way then. |
| 73286 You're the one Marlowe wants me to let in? Ilmater's patience! *sigh* I'll likely get in huge trouble for this, but a deal's a deal, I suppose. Go on in the cavern... I'll be elsewhere. |
| 73287 Heartless monster! My daughter's blood is on your hands! |
| 73288 Saradush Militia |
| 73289 Saradush Militia |
| 73290 Fallen Solar |
| 73291 You cut off the pool's flow, stopping Melissan for the time being. |
| 73292 Yaga-Shura's army pours towards you, led by the giant Bhaalspawn himself, and you realize that you shall have to kill Yaga-Shura if you wish to break their ranks. If you fail to kill him soon, you may be overrun. |
| 73293 Reclaim my innocence? And how do you propose I do that? |
| 73294 What are you talking about? How can *you* be my innocence? |
| 73295 This plane is an extension of yourself, as am I. You have a need to address your dwindling innocence, and so you have brought me forth. What you decide here has power, though not all decisions are conscious ones. |
| 73296 Were you to decide to restore me, it would be so. You would be an innocent anew, just as the day you left Candlekeep so long ago... the horror of recent events would be forever behind you. |
| 73297 And what of all my good experiences? All the knowledge and power I have gained? |
| 73298 And why would I want my innocence back? |
| 73299 Gone. They must be sacrificed so that the clock may be turned back, so that I may be reclaimed. Do you not understand? |
| 73300 Do you wish to keep fighting the same endless battle against the nature you were born with? Think, for a moment, at how much you have changed since that fateful day in Candlekeep. |
| 73301 You have killed many, bathed yourself in blood. And the darker portions of your soul have come forth whether you have liked it or not. Do you not believe this will only continue? |
| 73302 Let us return to a time when such trials did not have to be faced. Reclaim me, <CHARNAME>... cast off your tribulations and let us both be born anew. |
| 73303 No, I don't. Why is my innocence so important? |
| 73304 As much as I might like to be an innocent once again, I cannot sacrifice all that I have gained. I am needed as I am. |
| 73305 There is no going back to what has already passed. What you offer is no answer. |
| 73306 What you describe is ignorance. I seek to master myself, not surrender. |
| 73307 Return to the powerless, frightened young <PRO_MANWOMAN> I was? Never. |
| 73308 A tempting offer, yet all I am tells me this cannot be. My innocence is long lost. |
| 73309 I see. So there is no room for innocence in the heart of an immortal? |
| 73310 Such is as it was meant to be. With innocence dead, the path to that which is immortal within you lies one step closer. Face it... if you dare. |
| 73311 I need not be lost forever. You need not drive me from your heart, <CHARNAME>. Your struggle against the taint of our father has eroded me, but I am not gone yet. You can still reclaim me! |
| 73312 What are you talking about? How can *you* be my doubt? |
| 73313 Putting aside why I would want such a thing as doubt, how is such a thing even possible? |
| 73314 This plane is an extension of yourself, as am I. I am yet a voice within you, and I needed to address you... just as you needed to address me. What you decide here has power, though not all decisions are conscious ones. |
| 73315 Were you to decide to restore me, it would be so. Once you were innocent of power, of murder, of all things dark and tainted. With but a word, all could be restored... you would again be the <PRO_GIRLBOY> you were in Candlekeep. |
| 73316 And what would become of all the knowledge I have gained? What of the good things? |
| 73317 Are you joking? You wish me to give up my power for... for doubt? |
| 73318 I fail to see how losing my confidence could benefit me. |
| 73319 Gone. They must be sacrificed so that the clock may be turned back, so that I may be reclaimed. Do you not understand? |
| 73320 No, I don't. Why is my doubt so important? |
| 73321 Daddy got hit by the fire and fell down. I can't wake him up no matter what. Please help my daddy. |
| 73322 Yeah, right. Lose everything, including my confidence? Do you think me insane? |
| 73323 Without limitations to act as the walls of your world, <CHARNAME>, you are adrift in the void. You stumble about, blind. You grasp beyond your reach. Doubt defines limitation. |
| 73324 You who are of divine heritage have an even greater need of me. Without doubt, how far will your power grow? When will the lust for it end? What shall be destroyed in your wake? What shall you become? |
| 73325 Doubt is the wall that holds back the taint that you struggle to master. Without me, it would overwhelm you. Without me, you threaten everything... including yourself. Do you understand now? |
| 73326 I believe so. |
| 73327 Then let us return to a time when I could keep you safe. Reclaim me, <CHARNAME>... cast off your tribulations and let us both be born anew. |
| 73329 There may be merit in knowing my limitations, but I cannot sacrifice all I have learned. I am needed. |
| 73330 And return to the powerless weakling that I once was? Never! |
| 73332 There is no going back to what has already passed. What you offer is no answer. |
| 73333 What you describe is ignorance. I seek to master myself, not surrender. |
| 73334 Your daddy's dead. There's nothing I can do. |
| 73335 I... might... be able to help you with a spell. Let's see... |
| 73337 Please help my daddy. You have magic powers, don't you? *sob!* Use your powers to help him, please! Why won't anyone help him?! |
| 73338 I would sooner hasten your destruction. By far. |
| 73339 Get used to it, child. Life's tough. Now get lost. |
| 73340 I see. So there is no room for doubt in the heart of an immortal? |
| 73341 Such is as it was meant to be. With all doubt removed, the path to that which is immortal within you lies one step closer. Face it... if you dare. |
| 73342 This is my chanceâ€â€thank you for releasing me! |
| 73343 You helped my daddy! Bhaalspawns is nice! |
| 73344 Vinke grovels before your kindliness. Thank you for my freedom. |
| 73346 Wh... what just happened? I felt myself... hovering... over my own body. Something was pulling me away... to a distant place. I fought against itâ€â€I couldn't leave Tazit alone. And then, suddenly, I felt myself being drawn back into my body. |
| 73347 You are alive and well now... that's all that matters. I'm just glad I could help. |
| 73348 You're lucky. There was no guarantee the spell would work for you. |
| 73349 But... you are a Bhaalspawn! I thought all Bhaalspawn were the very incarnation of evil and death. I... I see now I was wrong. |
| 73350 My name is Fezhak. I must apologize, my <LADYLORD>... I fear I have judged you and your kind unfairly. |
| 73351 Vinke |
| 73352 Vinke |
| 73353 I have no reward to give you but my thanks and prayers... you are truly a great force of good in the realms, my <LADYLORD>. Perhaps you will yet save Saradush! |
| 73354 We have nowhere to stay... please help us. |
| 73355 If only there were someone in this town willing to take us in! |
| 73356 Thank you for saving us from those bullies. However, I am afraid we may yet run into trouble with the soldiers of this town. |
| 73357 We have nowhere to stay... we have no choice but to wander the streets. I fear we will soon run afoul of Gromnir's men once more. |
| 73358 Perhaps I can find someone willing to take you in. |
| 73359 Things are tough all over. Suck it up. |
| 73360 We have no money, and the innkeeper turned us away because he feared our wives would draw unwanted attention from the soldiers. Who else would have the heart and the room to take us all in? |
| 73361 We must wander the streets like vagabonds! |
| 73362 Sister Farielle at the temple has agreed to give you refuge. |
| 73363 Can this be true? The Sister's charity knows no bounds! |
| 73364 Thank you, my <LADYLORD>... you are truly kind and gracious to go to such lengths to help us! |
| 73365 Ruins of Saradush |
| 73367 Quickly, my friends... let us go to the temple! |
| 73368 Forest Spirit |
| 73369 Forest Spirit |
| 73370 Finally, we do not have to worry about the soldiers in this town! Thank you, my <LADYLORD>! |
| 73371 We owe you our lives, my <LADYLORD>! Thank you, from all of us. |
| 73372 Here we have finally found peace. Thank you, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 73373 There are some elves in this city who have nowhere to stay. I was hoping you could take them in. |
| 73374 The elves are welcome to come here for refuge... as are any who suffer. Had I but known they had no place to stay, I would surely have made them the offer. |
| 73375 There are some elves in this city who have nowhere to stay. I was hoping you could take them in. |
| 73376 You there! Find an inn and get inside! It's far too dangerous out here! |
| 73377 A Bhaalspawn? Look, we were just having some fun. We don't want no trouble with youâ€â€we ain't stupid! We'll leave the pointy-ears alone. |
| 73378 I would normally invite you to look at my magical wares, but alas, my shelves are completely bare. I have not even a single parchment left for you to purchase. |
| 73379 At first, I suspected Hectan... he is well known about town for his sticky fingers. But after questioning many witnesses, it is clear that Hectan was at the local pub from dusk until dawn the night of the theft. |
| 73380 I still suspect that no-good thief Hectan was involvedâ€â€I can clearly see the guilt in his face! But there is no proof. Without my spellbook, I am virtually powerless to pursue this myself, and as a newcomer to this town, I have no one to turn to for help. |
| 73381 I thank you for your aid in solving the theft of my spellbook, mighty <CHARNAME>. Is there anything I can do to aid your investigation? |
| 73382 I have the eyestalk right here. |
| 73383 As you wish. I urge you godspeed. Without my spellbook, I have no way to restock my inventory with the precious scrolls I normally carry. |
| 73384 Iycanth's eyestalk I have subcontracted the eyestalk quest to Bondari and his idiot friends. They did quite well, though Nanoc seemed less than pleased with Tim's performance. Tim has magic missile. |
| 73385 My spellbook has been stolen! Without it, I cannot fashion the powerful scrolls which normally fill my shop. Please, mighty <CHARNAME>... I beg of you to help a humble wizard! |
| 73386 Very well, I shall help you recover your spellbook. |
| 73387 What's in this for me? |
| 73388 I can't be bothered with your petty problems! |
| 73389 I only ask this of you because there is nowhere else I may turn. And if you return my spellbook, I can craft scrolls of the greatest power for you, <CHARNAME>! As many as you need, of any spell you desire! All for the most reasonable of prices. |
| 73390 Very well, I will help you recover your spellbook. |
| 73391 Sorry, I'm not interested. |
| 73392 What can you tell me about the crime? |
| 73393 I will come back when my investigations are done. |
| 73394 I have your spellbook here. |
| 73395 Hectan admitted he stole your spellbook. He will give it back in exchange for a teleportation scroll to escape the city. |
| 73396 Are there any clues? |
| 73397 I will make this Hectan confess! |
| 73398 I will return when I have finished my investigation. |
| 73399 There is but one clue, <CHARNAME>... though it does little to point the finger at Hectan. A set of muddy footprints leading from my window. Very small footprints... far smaller than those of Hectan. Or any man or woman, for that matter. |
| 73400 I regret that there is little else I can tell you. Hectan can usually be found in the Tankard Tree if you wish to question him. |
| 73401 I shall return when my investigations are done. |
| 73402 I think I will go speak to this Hectan. |
| 73403 My spellbook! Thank you, kind <PRO_SIRMAAM>! Truly, the legends of <CHARNAME> have not been exaggerated! I can once again craft my scrolls! |
| 73404 I knew that thief was to blame! But he is a fool if he thinks a teleportation scroll will help him escape this city. |
| 73405 I do have such a scroll, and I will gladly trade it for my spellbook... but the scroll is useless. Yaga-Shura's mages have cast powerful spells imprisoning us here. |
| 73406 Anyone foolish enough to attempt a magical escape will rebound off the invisible wallsâ€â€a grisly and very messy fate. Nevertheless, here is the scroll Hectan wanted. |
| 73407 I suppose the choice is up to you, <CHARNAME>, if you wish to warn Hectan about the consequences of using the scroll. I wish you luck in recovering my spellbook. |
| 73408 Have you made the exchange with Hectan yet? Have you recovered my spellbook? |
| 73409 Yes, here is your spellbook. |
| 73410 I'm still working on making the exchange. |
| 73411 Good day to you, <SIRMAAM>. Strangers are a rare sight here in Saradush these days. |
| 73412 I want to ask you some questions about a stolen spellbook. |
| 73413 Do you know anything about Melissan? |
| 73414 Do you know of any way I can get into Gromnir's castle? |
| 73415 I assure you, my <LADYLORD>, I know nothing of that. |
| 73416 I see where this is going! Well, Lazarus is barking up the wrong tree! I was at the Tankard Tree all night long... and I have witnesses to prove it! |
| 73417 I talked to Squip. He told me he stole the book and gave it to you! |
| 73418 I know you took the book, Hectan. Save us some time and confess. |
| 73419 Lazarus is wrong! I didn't take it! And there's no evidence to say I did! |
| 73420 Okay, I'll go. But if I find out you're lying... |
| 73421 Give me that book or I'll pry it from your cold dead hands! |
| 73422 Give me that book or I'll pry it from your cold dead hands! |
| 73423 I have been falsely accused. I stand by my alibiâ€â€I was busy drinking all night! |
| 73424 I'll be back when I have proof you were involved! |
| 73425 You can kill me, but you will be killing an innocent man. And I do not believe you to be such a savage monster. |
| 73426 *feed the familiar* |
| 73427 Okay... I admit I took the book. But I don't have it on me. If you kill me, Lazarus will never get it! |
| 73428 You offer the little dragon some nuts and berries that you have stored, and the dragon nibbles on a few of them but doesn't really seem all that hungry. |
| 73429 I'm not a bad man. Really. I just took the book because I thought I could use it to escape this city. But the damn thing is locked with some kind of spell... it's useless to me! |
| 73430 The dragon's eyes swirl with pleasure as it noisily gulps down a large quantity of nuts and berries that you have collected. Its wounds visibly start healing immediately. |
| 73431 Lazarus has a teleportation scroll to escape this city... I know it! If you get me that scroll, I'll give you the spellbook. Do we have a deal? |
| 73432 *feed the familiar* |
| 73433 Speak to Lazarus or don't... it's your choice. But until you have the scroll, we have nothing more to discuss. |
| 73434 Well, I won't make it easy for you! |
| 73435 *feed the familiar* |
| 73436 *feed the familiar* |
| 73437 I'm not your butler! Go get the scroll from Lazarus yourself. |
| 73438 You offer the impish being a piece of dried meat. It sniffs it with disgust and rolls its eyes. "I don't really need nothin' to eat, boss. Maybe if I'm wounded." With that, it unceremoniously tosses the meat over its shoulder. |
| 73439 Very well, I will go talk to Lazarus once more. |
| 73440 I think I'll just kill you instead. |
| 73441 The wounded imp takes a piece of dried meat gingerly from your pack and gulps it down greedily. As it munches away, it looks at you askance. "This don't mean I owes you nothin', boss." |
| 73442 *feed the familiar* |
| 73443 *feed the familiar* |
| 73444 You scrounge up some food from your pack and offer it to the creature. It seems pleased and nibbles away contentedly, pausing every now and again to grin at you. "Thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>." |
| 73445 The little creature seems ravenous and digs into the food you offer immediately. Its wounds begin to close before your eyes. The pleased familiar grins at you repeatedly. "Many thanks, my <PRO_LADYLORD>!" |
| 73446 The "stranger man"? Who's that? |
| 73447 The stranger? Are you talking about Marlowe? |
| 73448 You have the scroll? Quickly, give it to me! Here... take the spellbook. I can't use it anyway. But this scroll... this scroll is my ticket out of here! |
| 73449 I don't know his name. Said he was just passin' through, but his little girl got real sick right after he arrived. Then he started actin' all spooky and scared, sayin' the dead were coming for him. |
| 73450 Sure enough, I guess they did. An' Papa says that's why Balthazar sealed off the cavern. I can't even go an' see Mama's grave. |
| 73451 I have the scroll right here. |
| 73452 Where can I find this stranger? |
| 73453 That's too bad. |
| 73454 Yeah, well, tough break. |
| 73455 I have to warn you... the scroll won't work. Lazarus said that if you use it, you'll die. |
| 73456 Any idea how to get by the barrier over the cavern? |
| 73457 You should use that scroll right now... I'm interested to see how it works. |
| 73458 I hears he rented a house in the village, but I don't know which one. Papa says he drinks like a fish... maybe you can find him at Zakee's tavern? |
| 73459 Yes... the longer I wait, the more chance I have of losing the scroll! I shall use it right now! |
| 73460 You are lying! You must be! But why would you lie to me now that the exchange has been made? And why would Lazarus have not left the city if the scroll actually works? Perhaps... perhaps you are right. I must think hard on this before I use the scroll. |
| 73461 Not really. Papa says you needs magic, and if you has it, you can just walk through the barrier. Balthazar did; Papa says he saw him do it. |
| 73462 What do you want? You think you can hassle me just because I'm a kid? |
| 73463 Can you tell me anything about Melissan? |
| 73464 Do you know any way I can get inside the castle to see Gromnir? |
| 73465 Do you know anything about a missing spellbook? |
| 73466 I don't know anything about that... I'm just a kid! |
| 73467 Oh, sure... just 'cause I'm a street urchin, I have to know about stolen books! Everyone always blames me! "Squip stole this!" "Squip took that!" You got no proof! |
| 73468 Okay, yeah... I might know something about that. Maybe I can help you out... for a price. 1,000 gold will get me talking! |
| 73469 I have proof... small muddy footprints. Like a child's footprints. |
| 73470 I guess. I gotta go, okay? |
| 73471 You drive a hard bargain, Squip. Fine, here it is. 1,000 gold. Now start talking. |
| 73472 1,000 gold? Forget it, Squip. I'll give you 5â€â€no more, no less. |
| 73473 Here's a deal for you Squip... start talking and I won't smack you around! |
| 73474 1,000 gold! I'm rich! Filthy, stinkin' rich! Okay, here's the scoop: |
| 73475 5 gold! I've never had so much money at once! Okay, here's the scoop: |
| 73476 You big bully... I'm just a kid, you know! Okay, don't go getting all mean and nasty, I'll talk. |
| 73477 The graveyard lich A small boy in front of the sealed graveyard cavern mentioned a strange man who he claimed was responsible for the arrival of undead creatures inside the graveyard. I can probably find the man he speaks of in the local tavern. |
| 73478 I stole that book for Hectan... he paid me to do it. But I don't have the book no more. I gave it to Hectan. Honest. |

| 73486 Lazarus's missing spellbook The owner of a local scroll shop has had his spellbook stolen. Without it, he has no wares to sell. He suspects a man named Hectan, though Hectan has an ironclad alibiâ€â€he was busy getting drunk down at the local inn. |
| 73487 Lazarus's missing spellbook The only evidence in the case are several muddy, undersized footprints leading away from the shop window. |
| 73488 Lazarus's missing spellbook Lazarus has given me the teleportation scroll. I can exchange it with Hectan for the spellbook... though Lazarus has warned me that anyone using the scroll will rebound from the magical barriers surrounding Saradushâ€â€a ghastly end, to be sure. |
| 73489 Lazarus's missing spellbook Hectan admits he took the book, but will only exchange it for a teleportation scroll to escape the city. Hectan is convinced Lazarus has just such a scroll. |
| 73490 Lazarus's missing spellbook A street urchin named Squip told me he stole the book and gave it to Hectanâ€â€the man Lazarus originally suspected of the crime. |
| 73491 Lazarus's missing spellbook With his spellbook returned, Lazarus is once again able to open up his fabulous scroll shop. |
| 73492 Oh... I see you have brought my slippers. How thoughtful. May I have them? |
| 73493 Sure... take the slippers. |
| 73494 I don't make deals with undead! |
| 73495 Unless you want everyone to know about your affair with Pyrgam, you'll hand over that key! |
| 73496 Unless you want everyone to know about your affair with Pyrgam, you'll hand over that key! |
| 73497 I... I cannot let my secret shame be revealed. The people of this town turn to me for aidâ€â€now, more than ever, I must be above reproach. You are an evil <MANWOMAN>, but I shall give you the key. |
| 73498 I do not know of what use the key will be to you, though. It opens the door to the prison across the street, but the way into the castle is fraught with peril. Despite your evil, I wish you success... if only to save the town. |
| 73499 I will speak of this no more... I pray you have the decency to let this matter lie now. And I pray Waukeen will forgive you for your actions, <BROTHERSISTER>. |
| 73501 Excuse me, I... I do not mean to be rude... but you *are* one of the strangers that all the locals have been talking about, aren't you? An adventurer from the north? |
| 73502 With the destruction of Demogorgon's avatar, the Helm scroll disappears. |
| 73503 P-please do not hurt me! I... I only approach you because I have heard of your great power, stranger. You... you *are* an adventurer from the north, yes? |
| 73506 Yes, yes, of course you are. Anyone can see that you are an extraordinary <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Please forgive me. |
| 73507 And you must be the man the boy by the graveyard spoke of. |
| 73508 You have heard of me? Yes, I suppose this is a very small town. And very remote, I thought... remote enough so that no one would find me here. How wrong I was! |
| 73509 It is very fortunate that such a powerful person such as yourself has come to this remote town. I thought Amkethran would be remote enough so that no one would find me here, but I was wrong! |
| 73510 I would not bother you, stranger, but I am in terrible peril! I need your aid! I beg you for a boon, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, or I and my daughter both shall surely perish! |
| 73511 What kind of peril are you talking about? |
| 73512 The boy mentioned undead in the graveyard. Does that have something to do with it? |
| 73513 What do I care if you die? Leave me be. |
| 73514 I might help you... for a price. |
| 73515 I... cannot speak more of this here. Please come to my home on top of the cliff, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, I beg you! We can speak freely there! |
| 73516 Please, my <PRO_LADYLORD>, I beg you! There is no one else I can turn to! I... there would be... a reward, if that interests you... |
| 73517 It doesn't. I have my own problems. |
| 73518 Perhaps. Tell me more. |
| 73519 I... I see. Of course, of course. Should you... change your mind, please come to my home atop the east cliff. My name is Marlowe, and I... I shall leave you alone. Excuse me. |
| 73520 No, tell me now. I've no interest in following you anywhere. |
| 73521 Forget it. My interest in this has dwindled. Leave me alone. |
| 73522 Very well. Where is this home of yours? |
| 73523 I wish I could, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. But I feel his presence everywhere here. My name is Marlowe... if you come to my home on the east cliff, I can tell you more. I... hope to see you there. |
| 73524 It is atop the east cliff, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. It is a simple dwelling but... safe, for the moment. My name is Marlowe... please meet me there and I shall explain everything, I swear. |
| 73525 Marlowe's Home |
| 73526 Marlowe in trouble I have encountered a man by the name of Marlowe, who claims he is in great danger and asked me to meet him in his home atop the east cliff in Amkethran. He seems quite desperate. |
| 73527 Welcome to my humble accommodations, my <LADYLORD>. Will you hear out my tale? |
| 73528 Go ahead. |
| 73529 No. I've got better things to do. |
| 73530 Actually, I came here to kill you, Marlowe. No offense, I just do that sort of thing. |
| 73531 What?! But... but I have nothing, my <LADYLORD>! I am helpless before you, as is my sick daughter! Please do not do this! |
| 73532 All right, all right. Go on with your story, then. |
| 73533 Actually, it's fun regardless. |
| 73534 It seems to be safe to leave. Go on home, Bondari. |
| 73535 Please, my <LADYLORD>... my daughter is near death, and I shall surely be next. Is there nothing I can do to persuade you to help us? |
| 73536 A reward would be nice. |
| 73537 Perhaps. Tell me your story, and I'll consider it. |
| 73538 No, there isn't. |
| 73540 I have very little to offer, but there still may be... rewards, of a sort. May I explain? |
| 73541 "Of a sort"? I don't like the sound of that. I'm out of here. |
| 73542 Fine, go on. |
| 73543 Uh, thanks for your help, uh... <PRO_SIRMAAM>. You can have the treasure that we found before the, uh, stoning incident. Don't spend it all in one place. Bye! |

| 73548 Squip |
| 73549 Squip |
| 73550 Oh no! What have I done, bringing you here?! Someone help me! |
| 73551 As I said before, my name is Marlowe... I hail from Calimshan to the south, where I was a merchant. A successful one. I... suppose that is where I first came into contact with Vongoethe. |
| 73552 Vongoethe? Who is that? |
| 73553 A lich, my <LADYLORD>. A powerful one. In Calimshan, there are many strange wonders of magic, and Vongoethe is not out of place. It is he who has chased us here, hunting us mercilessly. |
| 73554 Why would a lich be hunting you? |
| 73555 Vongoethe desired my poor Malla, my daughter. She is the young woman here on the bed. A... a good girl, a virgin and pure of heart. He desired her soul, he said, so I fled Calimshan with her. |
| 73556 But he caught up to us nevertheless. And somehow he has taken her soul despite my efforts! She... she lies near death, and there is nothing the local priestess can do to help her. |
| 73557 I know Vongoethe is in the cavern that serves as a graveyard in this place. I told the monks about him... but they sealed off the cavern rather than somehow getting my daughter's soul back as I had hoped. |
| 73558 Malla is the world to me, my <LADYLORD>! And I do not know how much longer Vongoethe will remain trapped in that cavern... he could already be loose! He will kill me and keep Malla's soul, I am sure of it! |
| 73559 I beg you, my <LADYLORD>... please help us! |
| 73560 How do you propose I get inside the graveyard if it's sealed? |
| 73561 Just how dangerous is this Vongoethe? |
| 73562 Tell me why I should help you, Marlowe. |
| 73563 Very well, I will do what I can. |
| 73564 No, I've other things to do. |
| 73565 *sigh* Then there is no hope. I pray that you will change your mind before it is too late, my <LADYLORD>. |
| 73566 Fine, but I have better things to do than listen to you. |
| 73567 I... paid the guard there what little money I have left. I had thought to... try and get Malla's soul myself. But the guard will let in whomever I ask him to. |
| 73568 I cannot judge such things as the powers of archmages or monsters. I imagine that you have more than enough power to stand up to one such as Vongoethe, but I do not know. |
| 73569 I am not the best of men, my <LADYLORD>. I would not plead for myself, but I do plead for Malla! Look at her... she does not deserve such a terrible fate as this. |
| 73570 I have no coin left to offer you. I have bankrupted myself in trying to flee the lich's reach. But... Vongoethe himself is a powerful wizard. Surely he has items that would interest you, that you could take from him! |
| 73571 Thank you, my <LADYLORD>! Thank you! I will tell the guard immediately to let you into the cavern! Please... help Malla as quickly as you can! |
| 73572 Are you *sure* I can't convince you to let me in? |
| 73573 I see. I'll be going. |
| 73574 What are you implying? I, uh, don't take kindly to that sort of talk. Especially from someone who is watched so closely, yes, <SIRMAAM>. On your way, stranger. |
| 73575 Ahhhh... I had sensed that one with great power was close by. And here you are, come to my little prison. What do you wish, godling? Vongoethe has no quarrel with you! |
| 73576 But I have a quarrel with you! I have come for Malla's soul! |
| 73577 So it's true! A lich! Prepare to die, creature! |
| 73578 I'm here to talk, Vongoethe. No need for violence. |
| 73579 I see, I see. Let me guess... that lying little merchant, Marlowe, has somehow convinced you to come and end my existence? Is that it? |
| 73580 That is good. I have no wish to fight one as powerful as you are, <PRO_RACE>. But... hmmm, do let me guess. The lying merchant, Marlowe, has sent you? Yes, am I right? |
| 73581 I have come only for Malla's soul. I would avoid a fight, if I could. |
| 73582 I don't need much convincing to kill an undead abomination! |
| 73583 What do you mean, "lying"? What are you talking about? |
| 73584 I have come only for Malla's soul. I would avoid a fight, if I could. |
| 73585 Yes, he sent me. Why? |
| 73586 What do you mean, "lying"? What are you talking about? |
| 73587 I couldn't care less about the girl's soul. It is Marlowe's soul I want, as we agreed! He could avoid all of this uncomfortable detente if he would simply live up to his side of the bargain! |
| 73588 So he has found the right person, then, to wiggle him out of his contract, yes? Shall we fight, then, godling? Is that your wish? |
| 73589 Wait... what are you talking about? What bargain? |
| 73590 I'll listen to none of your lies, creature! Give me the girl's soulâ€â€now! |
| 73592 Aiiiieee! If I must perish, then so will the girl! Come, my dead servants, come! Protect your master from the godling! |
| 73593 It is! I am here to destroy you and nothing more! |
| 73594 Oh, we'll fight... but I want the girl's soul first! Hand it over, lich! |
| 73595 Wait... what contract? What are you talking about? |
| 73596 Nay, you'll not get it, godling! If I must use the girl's soul to force Marlowe to live up to his contract, then I shall! I will not be denied! |
| 73597 So much for saving the girl then. Prepare to die, lich! |
| 73598 What contract? What are you talking about? |
| 73599 So it is as I thought. Marlowe lied to the godling to save his own skin, did he? Ha ha haaa... did he tell you nothing of our deal, then? |
| 73600 No. What deal is this? |
| 73601 Heh. Twenty years of fortune and success, he asked me for... in exchange for the voluntary surrender of his soul. Well, he had his success! Wealth and power both! |
| 73602 But the human became arrogant, and when his time came due, he refused to surrender his soul as payment! Refused! |
| 73603 So I took the soul of his wife. I told him she would die without it. And still he refused me! He fled the city with his daughter and left his wife to die! |
| 73604 He evaded me for years until I found him here! I have his daughter's soul now, and he will live up to his promise or she shall suffer the consequences! He had his desire... now I want mine. |
| 73605 No! I shall not allow you to harm anyone else! |
| 73606 Is there no way that the daughter can live? |
| 73607 Why not simply steal his soul, then? Why steal his wife's and daughter's? |
| 73608 He lied to me! He said that you wanted his daughter and he was protecting her! |
| 73609 I shall never surrender the girl's soul, foolish godling. Raise a hand against me and she perishes. |
| 73610 But she was no part of this deal! Why must she be harmed? |
| 73611 I care not! I shall end your existence here and now! |
| 73612 For my purposes, I need a soul freely given and not stolen. And Marlowe knew this. The girl's soul is stolen and useless to me... she need not perish, should Marlowe do as he promised! He may throw others in the way of his fate, but I will hound him until I have what is rightfully mine! |
| 73613 He lies to protect himself. He throws others, like his wife and child, in the way of his fate so that he may continue to hide. But I require a soul freely given and not stolen like the girl's, and he *knew* the price! I will have what I am owed! |
| 73614 Will you restore his daughter, then, if I bring him here? |
| 73615 And if I brought Marlowe to you? How would you reward me? |
| 73616 I will not help such a man, then. I shall leave you now, lich. |
| 73617 No, you will not. Regardless of what happens, your existence ends now, lich. |
| 73618 Will you restore his daughter, then, if I bring him here? |
| 73619 And if I brought Marlowe to you? How would you reward me? |
| 73620 I will not help such a man, then. I shall leave you now, lich. |
| 73621 No, you will not. Regardless of what happens, your existence ends now, lich. |
| 73622 I would give the soul of the girl to you, godling, were Marlowe brought before me. Restore her with it or keep it for yourself... it is a valuable thing for many, a soul, yes? |
| 73623 Very well. I shall return with Marlowe, then. |
| 73624 I've no use for such a reward. So forget it. Solve your own problem. |
| 73625 No. You would never live up to your end of such a bargain. I would rather you die now. |
| 73626 No. I will not help you. |
| 73627 As you desire, godling. I've no wish to cross you... so begone, unless you change your mind. |
| 73628 Then I shall wait here for your return, godling, with great anticipation. |
| 73629 You return... but I do not see Marlowe with you. |
| 73630 I have changed my mind. I refuse to return with him. |
| 73631 I'll bring him, don't worry. |
| 73632 I demand the girl's soul in advance. I won't be cheated! |
| 73633 I have changed my mind. It is time you die! |
| 73634 Never! It is mine until I have Marlowe's soul and not a moment earlier! |
| 73635 Bah! Then you die, lich! |
| 73636 Fine, have it your way. I'll get Marlowe. |
| 73637 Then forget it! I'm not doing anything for you! |
| 73638 Have you been successful, my <LADYLORD>? Have you seen Vongoethe? |
| 73639 No, not yet. |
| 73640 I have spoken to the lich, yes. He had some... interesting things to say about you. |
| 73641 Yes. He agreed to restore your daughter... if I bring you to him. |
| 73642 Yes. I killed the lich, and I, ah... need you to come with me to the cavern. |
| 73643 Then I shall wait here with Malla. Please hurry, my <LADYLORD>! |
| 73644 I... I see. |
| 73645 So what Vongoethe said was true? |
| 73646 You need me to come to the cavern? What for? Do you not have Malla's soul? |
| 73647 No, I don't. I need your help to find it there. |
| 73648 No, forget what I said. The lich is not dead... he wants me to bring you to him. |
| 73649 Oh. That's... marvelous news, then! Of course I shall go with you! Let us go now, my <LADYLORD>... Malla's life hangs in the balance! |
| 73650 So you lied to me?! |
| 73651 Yes. I'm... not proud of what I've done. I didn't tell you the truth because I didn't think you would help me. My wife died because I was too frightened to pay the price of my deal. |
| 73652 But I... I cannot let what happened to my wife happen to Malla. Everything I did, I did it for her... for her future. And now the fortune's all gone anyway, spent on hiding and running from Vongoethe. |
| 73653 I would never forgive myself if Malla died. Perhaps it is best if I end this now. Please, my <LADYLORD>, let us... let us go to Vongoethe now and have this done with. |
| 73654 I am the fearsome death that awaits those that would break the seal. |
| 73655 You have come to challenge me, or perhaps for the Warrior's Skull. You shall have neither victory nor the skull. Let the slaughter begin. |
| 73656 What have you done?! Malla is dead, dead! Nooo! |
| 73657 So my daughter is dead. Poor Malla... she paid the price for my cowardice. I... I made the deal with the lich, offering my soul, to make a better future for us. But I was too frightened to pay the price, and now everything is gone. |
| 73658 I lied to you, my <LADYLORD>. I didn't think you would help me if you knew the truth. For that, and so much more... I am sorry. |
| 73659 You as well as murdered your daughter, coward. And you shall pay for your crime! |
| 73660 You lied to me, fool! You will pay for that! |
| 73661 Get out. I don't want to see your face another minute. |
| 73662 And you'll have to live with what you've done now. |
| 73663 Hey, at least you're alive! Look on the bright side. |
| 73664 Yes, I shall pay. Forgive me... Malla... Alhanna... forgive me. |
| 73665 Thank you... for your mercy, my <LADYLORD>. I... I shall leave now. |
| 73666 The bright side? I have killed my own wife and daughter for my pride. Goodbye, my <LADYLORD>... I shall leave now. |
| 73667 You... you have killed Marlowe?! Now I shall never collect what he owed to me, fool! You may be powerful, but I shall strike you down! To me, undead ones! Kill the godling! |
| 73668 So... the one with great power that I sensed has arrived at last. How I... looked forward to tasting your soul, little godling. You are powerful, yes... but it is a risk I shall take! |
| 73669 I shall wait no longer for our business to be done, godling! I hunger for your soul, and I shall have it! Despite your power, I shall take it! |
| 73670 Ahhhh... so, Marlowe, we meet again at long last. |
| 73671 Wh-what?! You... you're alive?! My <LADYLORD>... you tricked me? |
| 73672 No less than you tricked <PRO_HIMHER>, fool. Or me. Now... your debt is far past due, Marlowe, and the time for running is done. |
| 73673 Y-yes. Yes, I suppose it is. I have lost everything you have given me now... I... do not wish my daughter to pay for my mistake as well. I could not live with that. She will be restored, then? |
| 73674 I shall give the vessel with her soul to the godling, fool. What <PRO_HESHE> does with it is <PRO_HISHER> business. |
| 73675 My <PRO_LADYLORD>...? You... you will restore Malla, will you not? I beg you, do not let her die because of me! I have earned my fate, and more. She has not. |
| 73676 Yes, I will restore her. |
| 73677 I'll think about it. |
| 73678 I don't care what happens to your daughter. You did this yourself. |
| 73679 Thank you, my <LADYLORD>. I... I am ready, Vongoethe. |
| 73680 I see. Then... there is nothing more to say. Forgive me, Malla. Vongoethe, I... I am ready. |
| 73681 Most excellent. As I live up to my bargains, here is the mortal girl's soul, godling. Take it and begone. Now, for what is long overdue, Marlowe... |
| 73682 No! I have the girl's soul now, and I will not allow you to do more harm! |
| 73684 This should be interesting... |
| 73685 Just get this over with quickly. |
| 73686 You dare! This is a legitimate transaction, one *he* agreed to! |
| 73687 Legitimate? Bargaining with souls? Don't make me laugh! |
| 73688 Regardless, I will not allow him to come to harm! |
| 73689 I... suppose you are correct. Get this over with, then. |
| 73690 Hissssss! Then you shall die! Then you shall all die! |
| 73691 Yes. Yes, we meet again. |
| 73692 And is it time, then, for you to give me that which I am due, Marlowe? Freely and of your own volition? |
| 73693 It is done. Very well, godling... you have your payment, and I have mine. I trust there is nothing more to say? |
| 73694 Only that it is time for you to die now, lich. |
| 73695 No. I'm satisfied. |
| 73696 Begone, creature. You got what you wanted! |
| 73697 Very well. Perhaps... perhaps another time, godling. |
| 73698 Ah, yes. That was not part of our bargain, was it? I should have suspected as much. So be it, godling... but you shall not find me a simple target! |
| 73699 You... you saved me... |
| 73700 I did, though you hardly deserve it. |
| 73701 I couldn't let that evil creature get its way. |
| 73702 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't get all excited. |
| 73703 And... what of Malla? You hold the receptacle for her soul... will you not use it to restore her? |
| 73705 Take it and restore your daughter, Marlowe. And think carefully on what you have done. |
| 73706 I suppose. Take it and get out of my face, cretin. |
| 73707 No way! It's mine, and I'm keeping it. Tough luck. |
| 73708 You killed your daughter yourself. The stone is mine. |
| 73709 You are... most gracious, my <LADYLORD>. I... I thank you, more than I can ever say! |
| 73710 You are a cruel, cruel <PRO_MANWOMAN>, my <LADYLORD>. I would trade my own life for Malla's if I could. And yet it is my fault regardless. I... I shall leave you, then. |
| 73711 (The young woman lies unconscious, twitching and whimpering occasionally as if suffering from a very bad dream...) |
| 73712 (Use the soul stone to restore her.) |
| 73713 (Do nothing.) |
| 73714 I... thank you for restoring me, my <LADYLORD>, though your story is a strange one. |
| 73715 With both my mother and my father dead, I do not know what I will do. I am in a strange land, with nothing... |
| 73716 Here. Take this 5,000 gp. Leave Amkethran and get started elsewhere. It is what your father would have wanted. |
| 73717 Here. Take 100 gp. It's better than nothing. |
| 73718 Yeah, well, things are tough all over. |
| 73719 Cry me a river. At least you're not dead, ungrateful brat. |
| 73720 You... you are very generous. I wish there were some way I could repay you. If... if you are ever in Calimshan, my <LADYLORD>, I would be pleased to offer you lodgings. Sune's blessing upon you. |
| 73721 To the Castle Basement |
| 73722 I do not wish charity, my <LADYLORD>, but thank you for the offer. I... I shall find my own way. I shall pray for my father's soul to be at peace... he meant only well, I am sure. Good day to you. |
| 73723 I... I shall find my own way, I am sure. I shall pray for my father's soul to be at peace... he meant only well. Thank you again for my life, and... goodbye. |
| 73724 The graveyard lich I talked to Marlowe at his home. He told me that he was a merchant from Calimshan and that a lich by the name of Vongoethe desired his daughter so much that Marlowe and his daughter were forced to flee. Apparently, the lich has finally caught up to them here and has stolen his daughter's soul. She will die soon if it is not returned. |
| 73725 The graveyard lich I have agreed to seek out Vongoethe in the graveyard cavern on the north side of town. The guard outside will allow me to pass through the magical seal. |
| 73726 The graveyard lich I killed Vongoethe in the graveyard cavern... although I was unable to get Malla's soul from him first. She is likely dead, although Marlowe is at least safe now. |
| 73727 The graveyard lich I met with Vongoethe in the graveyard, and he told me a different tale. It seems he and Marlowe made a deal... the lich would provide Marlowe twenty years of success in return for his soul, freely given. Marlowe refused to pay and fled Calimshan with his daughter, leaving his wife to die. He has been running for some time, and now that the lich has caught up to him and taken his daughter's soul as leverage to get him to pay up, he has come to me for intervention. |
| 73728 The graveyard lich I have agreed to bring Marlowe to the lich to pay his debt. I may be able to trick Marlowe into coming... but I wonder if the man wouldn't just come if told to. |
| 73729 The graveyard lich Vongoethe has gotten what he wanted from Marlowe, who was more or less willing to have it over with in the end. I have the soul of the girl in its crystalline cage now and could restore her if I wished. |
| 73730 Kerrick's Smithy and Arcana Archives II |
| 73731 The graveyard lich I stopped the lich from getting what he wanted and saved Marlowe in the process. I gave him his daughter's soul so that she might be restored... and hopefully, he will learn his lesson from all of this. |
| 73732 The graveyard lich I stopped the lich from getting what he wanted and saved Marlowe in the process. His daughter's soul stone is mine, however, and should serve him as a lesson for the future, I would think. |
| 73733 The graveyard lich I used the soul stone to restore Marlowe's daughter. She will have a tough time getting by with both her parents dead, but at least someone was saved out of all this. |

| 73743 Ahhhhh! P-please... save me! |
| 73744 The Machine of Lum the Mad appears securely fastened to the floor. The bizarre contraption has a number of levers, dials, switches, and buttons protruding from all sides. |
| 73745 The Machine hums with power, almost daring you to use it. You feel it would be wise to restrict your experiments to the controls on the main operating panelâ€â€and even then, randomly flipping switches will likely result in disaster. |
| 73746 There are three buttonsâ€â€circular, square, and triangular. There are also three dialsâ€â€red, blue, and green. And there are three leversâ€â€a long one, a medium one, and a short one. What do you wish to do next? |
| 73747 Hesitantly, you reach out and try a control. The Machine clicks and whirs and trembles with building power. |
| 73748 Despite the surging energy of the strange machine, nothing happens... yet. Perhaps you need to push another control to get a reaction. |
| 73749 The machine screeches and belches forth a cloud of steam, and you brace yourself for the effect which is to come. |
| 73750 You realize Lum the Mad was aptly named, as his unpredictable machine unleashes an effect you were not expecting. |
| 73751 Push the circular button. |
| 73752 Push the square button. |

| 73760 Leave the machine alone for now. |
| 73761 You decide discretion is the better part of valor and leave the Machine alone for now. After a few seconds, the strange device seems to reset itself, and it becomes still and silent once again. |
| 73762 What can you tell me about that fellow, Marlowe? |
| 73763 What can you tell me about that fellow, Marlowe? |
| 73764 Only a little. He is a stranger to Amkethran, arrived only weeks ago. I do not believe he intended to remain... indeed, I suspect he has been traveling for some time... but his daughter fell ill, or so I hear. |
| 73765 He has been a little crazed as well. He blames his daughter's illness upon the undead creatures that are said to have arisen in our graveyard cavern. Poor soul... he drinks much, but it seems to do him little good. |
| 73766 Do you know anything about someone named Sendai? |
| 73767 Do you know anything about someone named Abazigal? |
| 73768 Do you know anything about someone named Sendai? |
| 73769 Do you know anything about someone named Abazigal? |
| 73770 Hmmm. I may indeed have heard such a name, dear <MANWOMAN>. A few of the mercenaries that pass through the Zephir so often have whispered it more than once, and always with great fear. |
| 73771 Sendai is a drow, a dark elf... or so I understand. They say that Balthazar is mobilizing his army to attack her and that they fear the denizens of the Underdark that such an attack would bring them face-to-face with. |
| 73772 Some have said she is a powerful Bhaalspawn and an assassin, but few seem sure. She lives beneath the earth like all drow, however. I... do not know much more than this, however. |
| 73773 Abazigal? I have heard that name, I am sure. Is it a person? I am unsure... there was a group of captains in here once before, and they were talking in hushed tones about an "army of dragons." |
| 73774 I believe it was during their talk that this name of yours came up. I thought at the time that it was the name of the mountains this army was supposedly in, though I had never heard of such a range. |
| 73775 The thought of fighting dragons is a sobering one. If Balthazar is planning on battling such creatures with this army, he... well, I would wonder at his state of mind, perhaps. |
| 73776 Do you know anything about someone named Sendai? |
| 73777 Do you know anything about someone named Abazigal? |
| 73778 An unholy name, stranger, for the mistress of drow assassins. Although she is no true drow, I suppose... she is a child of Bhaal as you are, I believe. Sendai is a creature to be feared. |
| 73779 I am told that she raises her own army near here... and many whisper that Balthazar intends to cleanse the world of her base evil. It will be a terrible battle, if it occurs. |
| 73780 Do you know anything about someone named Sendai? |
| 73781 Do you know anything about someone named Abazigal? |
| 73782 Only that this is another of the Bhaalspawn that Balthazar intends to destroy with this... army... he has raised. This Abazigal is raising an army of his own, I believe, deep in the mountains. |
| 73783 Quiet, you idiot! That's one of the strangers the captain mentioned! Do you want to get killed?! |
| 73784 Uhhh... oh. Er, sorry, my <LADYLORD>. Pardon my rudeness... |
| 73785 Careful, wizard. That's one of the strangers you're talking to... best not to get yourself into trouble, you take my meaning? |
| 73786 Hmph. I suppose you may be right. My apologies, good <MANWOMAN>... I meant no offense. |
| 73787 Please, do something! |
| 73788 Ah! P-please don't hurt me! |
| 73789 Ex-excuse me, most powerful <LADYLORD>... I, ah... I must be going... |
| 73790 Oh! You... you are that powerful stranger from... that they were... ah... excuse me... |

| 73855 An angel has brought me back to the Abyss to inform me, as far as I can tell, that my destiny as a Bhaalspawn is about to come to fruition. But I am not quite ready, it seems. My mind is not prepared to accept all the power of Bhaal's realm... and so it has created a demiplane of my very own, a cocoon, by her description, in which I will have to prepare myself. There's no obvious way out... it's not a very large place. And already uninvited guests from the neighborhood are showing up. My old enemy Sarevok, like a bad penny, turned up with a proposal... he will tell me how to get out of the demiplane, and whatever else he knows and is holding back, in return for the smallest slice of my soul to restore him to some semblance of life. I don't know how prepared I am to do that... I've had enough soul exchanges to last me several lifetimes. Perhaps I can find a way out on my own. We shall see. |
| 73856 An angel brought me back to the Abyss to inform me that my destiny as a Bhaalspawn is about to come to fruition. But I am not quite ready, it seems. My mind is not prepared to accept all the power of Bhaal's realm... and so it has created a demiplane of my very own, a "cocoon," by her description, in which I will have to prepare myself. None other than Sarevok himself turned up not moments after the angel's departure, and he had a deal in mind: In exchange for knowledge of how to leave the pocket plane as well as information on my destiny, he would be returned to life. I had little choice but to agree. |
| 73857 Sarevok informed me of two important facets of my pocket plane. First are the challenges. I am not certain what form these will take, but there are five corridors that lead off from the main room, and somehow I am sure that they will open up as I am ready to face what is beyond. Sarevok implied that the challenges might be very difficult and that I may want to consider acquiring backup. Which leads me to the "fate spirit." I am not sure how this spirit does what it does, but it seems I have some control over people whose fates are intertwined with my own. The fate spirit will summon companions for me... not servants, but possible friends. To talk to the spirit, I need only interact with it near the "entrance" to the plane. |
| 73858 Destiny's next stop According to Sarevok, the place I need to go next is the Tethyrian city of Saradush. I may not have much of a choice, either... this pocket plane isn't a simple portal that takes me where I want to go. It takes me where I need to be. |
| 73859 Meeting with Balthazar I have finally met with Balthazar, the head of the monastic order in Amkethran, and while he was not exactly welcoming, he did allow me to remain in the town so long as I did not attempt to enter the monastery or otherwise interfere in his business... and passed on to me the maps to the Bhaalspawn enclaves that Melissan presumably gave him. Where Melissan is now appears to be a mystery. I am not entirely certain that this Balthazar is on the level. Regardless, there is no reason for me to try to get inside his fortress-like monastery and no way that I can see of doing so. My only path is to investigate the enclaves and confront the Bhaalspawn who are so intent on hunting me. |
| 73860 Saving Throws Increased |
| 73861 Revelations of the Solar The Solar has called me to my pocket plane once again, revealing some interesting facets of my past. When Gorion assaulted the Bhaalist temple and killed my mother, it could very easily have been Sarevok who was taken by the wizard instead of I. How would our paths have differed then, I wonder? While enlightening, it is hard to say what relevance such information has for me in my current situation. The Solar was cryptic, as usual... but she did open another of the doorways in the pocket plane that leads to another challenge. What lies beyond I shall have to discover for myself. |
| 73862 The ritual scroll given to you by Odren crumbles into dust before your eyes. |
| 73863 Revelations of the Solar Yet another interaction with the Solar... this time concerning my own place in Alaundo's prophecy. Supposedly, I am the one Alaundo spoke of, but I am supposed to stop the rest of the Bhaalspawn from wrecking destruction and chaos upon the Sword Coast... rather than being solely responsible for it myself. I am unsure how to take this news, as it seems my place in the scheme of this is predestined. I could be the most savage beast in the realms, and yet the other Bhaalspawn would still see me as a threat to them? It seems that this is so. Whether I like it or not, I have been placed on a path to collide with the destinies of the remaining children of Bhaal. And it seems my victory would be far preferable to theirs... at least as far as the prophecy is concerned. Once again, the Solar has opened another of the portals to a challenge in the pocket plane. There is more for me to learn about myself yet, it appears. |
| 73864 Revelations of the Solar The powerful Bhaalspawn that I have been fighting, the ones that have been relentlessly hunting the others, call themselves "the Five." Like myself, they are the most potent of our kind and possess a great deal of Bhaal's divine essence. It appears that they had gathered together for a single purpose... since they were too powerful to fight each other, they would combine their forces and hunt the remainder of the Bhaalspawn. Then they would raise our sire and become his earthly generals. They were largely successful, but four of them are now dead: Illasera, Yaga-Shura, Sendai, and Abazigal. The only trick is that they contained so much of Bhaal's essence that the god may be nearer to resurrection than ever. Perhaps that is what the last of the Five, Balthazar, plans even now. I have no choice but to return to Amkethran and stop him. Then, perhaps, this will finally all be over. The fourth challenge room is now open to me. It seems odd, considering how close I am to the end, that there is still one more to go even after this. |
| 73865 Revelations of the Solar My course is set. My last enemy has been revealed. It is not Bhaal, arisen anew like I had suspected... it is none other than Melissan, and has been all along. She was once Bhaal's high priestess during the Time of Troubles. It was supposed to be her in charge of killing all the Bhaalspawn and returning their essences to him... her in charge of Bhaal's resurrection. He trusted her, and she has betrayed him. She has manipulated the Five to their deaths, manipulated me, and even now seeks to steal the power of her master and become a goddess. The last of the challenges awaits me. I must enter that challenge and destroy my protective "cocoon" that is my pocket plane so that I may enter the Throne of Bhaal to stop Melissan before she is successful. She MUST not succeed. |

| 73911 Some believe this massive blade to be of drow origin, though others dispute this claim. However, all agree this great sword was fashioned with a single purpose... to rid the world of the illithid. Those who wield the Psion's Blade are immune to the mind flayer's psionic attacks. The bewildering gaze of umber hulks, often found serving the illithid, are similarly rendered harmless.

A Ring of Anti-Venom is eagerly sought after by royalty, influential political figures, and other potential assassination targets. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Immunity to poison Weight: 0 |
| 73914 This medallion is highly sought after by both thieves and bards, though for different reasons. In addition to providing powerful magical protection against physical attacks, the amulet increases the wearer's proficiency in several rogue skills. But even more valuable, from the bard's perspective, is the amulet's ability to grant the wearer immunity to all forms of silence.

| 73916 Aerie continued adventuring after leaving <CHARNAME>'s company, driven in her travels to oppose slavery in any form. Her compassion grew tainted by revenge, however: revenge for what had been taken while she was in chains. She might have lost herself entirely had she not stumbled across a group of avariel enslaved in Cormyr. They compelled her to come to Faenya-Dail, the home she was originally stolen from, and she learned much while there. Most importantly, she learned she was no longer one of them and stopped pining for wings she wouldn't use anyway. Aerie eventually became a high priestess in Understone, a gnomish village her mentor, Quayle, had sometimes spoken of. He had been her true family, and it was among his people that she finally found peace. |
| 73917 Aerie and <CHARNAME> would prove inseparable, their adventuring careers becoming secondary to the raising of their son and, eventually, a daughter as well. Their later years would hold one last great trek, however, as Aerie still suffered a sadness from her time enslaved and the loss of her wings. Together she and <CHARNAME> sought the avariel of Faenya-Dail, the winged elves she was stolen from so long ago. They discovered not only her people, but loving parents that had spent years searching for their lost child. With no more mystery or confusion to cloud their lives, it was there, among the clouds, that Aerie and <CHARNAME> would finally be married. Their union, it is said, was blessed by visions of Aerdrie Faenya and Baervan Wildwanderer both. |
| 73918 Nalia grew quite powerful after her association with <CHARNAME>. Initially, she traveled, learning magical lore and making influential friends, but after a year, she returned to Amn and her family home of de'Arnise Keep. She found it in the control of none other than Isaea Roenall, but she was no longer the wayward child that he expected and single-handedly brought him to justice for his indiscretions. She declared herself the inheritor of her father's ducal title, becoming a beloved ruler, respected archmage, and eventually earning a seat on the Council of Six itself. She would become a prominent figure in Amn for many years, constantly fighting for the good of the common folk and making many frustrated enemies among the nobility and Cowled Wizards both. |
| 73919 Anomen was troubled after his time in <CHARNAME>'s company. He had closely witnessed the dark power inherent in the Bhaal child, and no matter <CHARNAME>'s intent, it caused a crisis of faith. His confidence in Helm shaken, Anomen traveled without aim until arriving in the frontiers of Maztica. This was during the revolt of Yamash, an evil cleric that raised a demonic conquering horde. Anomen was drawn into the conflict, helping to organize the besieged Maztican soldiers, but he found he could not effectively train them without speaking of duty and the role a guardian must play; he was teaching the doctrine of Helm and understanding it more as he did. In the end, his words rang true, and Yamash fell to the Disciples of Anomen, a new Order for a new land. |
| 73920 Anomen and <CHARNAME> continued adventuring until they were known as heroes almost everywhere they went. So prolific were their careers that the proposed date of their wedding kept getting moved back, either due to impending crisis or some lucrative adventure that one or the other would insist on investigating. Finally, a date approached that both <CHARNAME> and her beloved were determined to keep, and the much heralded event drew heroes and dignitaries from across Faerûn. The couple had touched the lives of many, and those people arrived in droves to watch Elminster himself unite the two in one of the grandest ceremonies the city of Baldur's Gate had ever seen. Anomen and <CHARNAME> retired from public life shortly thereafter, although, if tales be true, their adventures never truly ended. |
| 73921 No longer with <CHARNAME>, Viconia went on to found a cult dedicated to Shar in the city of Waterdeep. One of her followers betrayed her, however, prompting the slaughter of the whole tainted lot. Shar admonished Viconia strongly for this, but she was unrepentant and again wandered the realms. Viconia was still formidable and went on to prevent an attempt by the Knights of the Shield to take over Calimport, and even worked with Drizzt Do'Urden to save the elven city of Suldanessellar from a Zhentarim plot. For this last act, the elves accepted her, and Queen Ellesime bestowed the highest honors of the Seldarine, an accolade never before given to one of her dark kind. Viconia reportedly bowed once without emotion and then left. Her fate remains unknown. |
| 73922 <CHARNAME> and Viconia continued adventuring long after leaving Tethyr. He became an important political figure, and she was his trusted counsel. Eventually, Viconia bore <CHARNAME>'s child, which first served to strain their relationship. The birth, however, changed her, and she dedicated herself to raising the boy, teaching him both the ways of the drow and of <CHARNAME>'s people. She marveled at the understanding in his eyes, but, unfortunately, didn't live to see him grow. Viconia was poisoned by a servant of Lolth, her last words whispered to her loving mate in private. <CHARNAME> raised his son in secret, and tales vary on the result. Some say they waged a crusade against the drow, but all agree that the former child of Bhaal never forgot the love of his dark maiden. |
| 73923 Valygar continued adventuring for several years after the Bhaalspawn saga, traveling among the wilds and becoming a common sight near Waterdeep. In time, he would retire to Athkatla, content to assume a contemplative life on his family estate, but admirers among the nobility would not let him rest. He was pressured into assuming the title of Chief Inspector, a responsibility he didn't want, but corruption within the city soon gained his ire. Surprising even himself, Valygar became an effective leader, and it was this term in office that truly restored the Corthala family name. Valygar eventually married, and his only son, the pride of his life, took the lessons of the father to heart. He would go on to lead the Cowled Wizards, becoming its greatest agent of reform. |
| 73924 Haer'Dalis found traveling with <CHARNAME> a fine introduction to the realms, and once they parted company, he was eager to see more. He visited such varied locales as Waterdeep, Neverwinter, and Thay, eventually fleeing each one after innocently immersing himself in local troubles. Later, he would befriend a female cambion and return with her to the Abyss, only to unintentionally end up leading a revolt on several layers of the Hells. For a time, Haer'Dalis was the most hunted man among the planes, but the ire of his enemies could not match his wanderlust, and he eventually found his way back to the city of Sigil unharmed in any permanent fashion. There he rejoined Raelis's acting troupe and was pleased to finally settle downâ€â€until the next misunderstanding, of course. |
| 73925 With his guidance no longer needed, Cernd left <CHARNAME>'s company and reunited with his son, Ahsdale. His duty to nature constantly called him away, however, and the boy grew bitter. Years later, Cernd attained the title of Great Druid but stopped the ascension when he learned that his long-estranged child now wielded twisted magics and commanded an army threatening the Sword Coast. Cernd abdicated, citing that he could not hold such responsibility when he had been so grossly deficient in his personal obligations. Neither Cernd nor Ahsdale would survive when they finally met in battle. They were strangers to each other, and the only common ground they found was where they fell, a spot that gave rise to a wondrous oak that turns the gravest of reds at season's change. |
| 73926 In the years following his resurrection by <CHARNAME>, Sarevok never settled in any one place for long. In Berdusk, he is said to have routed an army of invading orcs, displaying such fearsome power and rage that terrified locals weren't sure whom to fear more. In Westgate, he arrived as conqueror, brutally enforcing his will only to mysteriously vanish months later. He acted like a man that did not know himself, and all the stories agreed that Sarevok was a tortured soul balancing between life and death, never to achieve either. Eventually, he disappeared, said to have assaulted the Abyss itself or even taken his own life. In truth, he journeyed to Kara-Tur to bury his one true love, the warrior Tamoko. He never returned, though the stories endure. |
| 73927 With the saga of the Bhaalspawn closed, Minsc fulfilled a long-promised oath. He returned to Rashemen, hoping to regale the Ice Dragon Berserker Lodge with the tales of his deeds and earn a place within its hallowed halls. His words were not needed. Every tavern in Faerûn had a bard singing of the valiant ranger, and he was welcomed as a hero. Eventually, he formed his own adventuring company, the Justice Fist, striking fear in the hearts and faces of evil until, in his advancing age, he again set out across the realms... and disappeared. And what of Boo? Well, what is Minsc without Boo? The two would never be separated, and some say they are together still, up amongst the stars where hamsters are giants and men become legends. |
| 73928 Edwin gained great renown in his travels with <CHARNAME>, and in the years following their association, he would exploit that infamy. In time, he achieved enough influence to subjugate even the Red Wizards themselves, becoming the greatest leader they had known in recent memory. Very recent memory, it turns out, as he was deposed scant days later. Such is the brief nature of conquerors in Thay, practically lining up for their turn in power. His only notable appearance following this embarrassment was in battle with Elminster of Shadowdale himself, a short affair that saw the end of Edwin's existence in the realms. Edwina, however, tends bar in a Waterdeep tavern. She is a bitter, bitter woman. |
| 73929 And what of Imoen, the eternal child? She had long stood in the shadow of <CHARNAME>, but she was her own person and would find her fate where she pleased. She returned to Candlekeep for a time, her formidable skill in magic granting a greater appreciation for its tomes. It was smaller than she remembered, however, and she did not stay long. Later, she was seen in such vaunted company as Khelben "Blackstaff" and Elminster, by all accounts encouraging them to not be such stick-in-the-muds. Her influence grew over time, and she may have founded a thieves' guild that now operates all the way to Neverwinter. When asked of this, she always answered with a smile of purest innocence. "Heya," she would say, "it's just me, Imoen." |
| 73930 The years following the Bhaalspawn saga were kind to Jaheira. They couldn't be called peaceful by any means, but her relationship with <CHARNAME> weathered it all. Theirs was an unshakable union, and while duty or adventure might separate them for even years at a time, they always returned to one another. Her friends would marvel at how secure in this Jaheira seemed to be, especially considering her initial reluctance, but she would chuckle when thinking back on those first cautious days. After all, she and <CHARNAME> had literally been to the Hells and back, and when the gods themselves couldn't separate the two, what were simple months and miles going to do? She lived long and well. Not always with <CHARNAME>, but never truly apart from him. |
| 73931 The events of the Bhaalspawn saga affected Jaheira deeply. It was her duty to protect the greater balance of things, but in the years to come, she found an increased portion of that fight occurring within her own mind. Witness to great change while in <CHARNAME>'s company, she had become acutely aware of how fleeting life was and how the loss of those she held dear ate away at her thoughts. In time, she would be known as a tireless champion of balance, one that sometimes acted in concert with the Harpers and sometimes did not. Always, however, she remained distant and guarded, never staying long in any one place. Jaheira would cross the realms thrice over, but she never did return to Tethyr or the Sword Coast. |
| 73932 The perils that Mazzy Fentan faced at the side of <CHARNAME> did nothing to dissuade her thirst for adventure. In fact, it was not long after the events in Tethyr that she formed the Fentan Knights, a stalwart band of heroes that spawned tales across the realms. They battled trolls to save endangered towns, turned back tides of orcs to preserve ancient forests, and faced a rogue dragon in its own lair just to make the world a better place. Their legend was larger than life, especially so for Mazzy, and it was said on occasion that if valor were inches, she'd be twenty feet tall. For all her risks, Mazzy eventually passed peacefully at a ripe old age, knowing she could take pride in everything she had done. |
| 73933 Jan Jansen's life following his association with <CHARNAME> was typically convoluted, the barest of details hidden amidst his half-truths and whole lies. According to his published memoirs, "A Jansen in Every Port," after a short prison term for monkey smuggling, he returned to his first love... monkey smuggling. This led to the now infamous Gibbon Riot of '72, a tumultuous and altogether unclean event that seemed to center on the estate of the Shadow Thief Vaelag. Jan would deny that he had planned the downfall of the rogue, but he was unable to explain what practical application he had intended for a horde of knife-wielding simians. Nevertheless, the death of the admittedly disliked and generally suspect Vaelag could not be attributed to the young gnome. Strangely enough, Jan had alibis for each and every second of the day in question, and what a day it must have been! Relatives from across the realms came forward to say that he had stopped in for tea and turnips. At his later wedding to Lissa, Jan was asked how he managed to be in so many places at once and yet still so far from the scene of the crime. "Well," Jan would say, "when you have that many monkeys, anything is possible." |
| 73934 After leaving <CHARNAME>'s company, Korgan Bloodaxe lived in as bloody a fashion as he could manage. He took control of an entire dwarven clan, killing their leader in secret and guiding their revenge to a target of his choosing. He could have lived in luxury, but his thirst for carnage was immeasurable, and he stunned the realms by pushing deep into the Underdark. The blind fury of the clan took even the dark elves by surprise, but holding territory in the home of the drow is a hopeless proposition. Korgan was last seen burying his axe in the gullet of a high priest of Lolth, laughing as he struck. Dwarven legend immortalized the image, and his bloodlust is now called a crusade. History, it seems, finds more heroes than madmen. |
| 73935 Keldorn Firecam thought his travels with <CHARNAME> marked the end of his active career, both as an adventurer and in service to the Order. He retired to Athkatla, hoping to live in as much peace as an old warrior can expect, but the call to serve came one last time. It was years later, and Amn was besieged by giants. In his sixtieth winter, Keldorn and five knights held a strategic pass until the main Amnian force could arrive. He won the day, but his wounds were severe, and the old paladin fell on the battlefield. As his knights watched, the hand of Torm descended upon the scene, and when it departed, Keldorn was gone. From that day, visions of the True God were accompanied by the stalwart ghostly form of Keldorn at his right hand. |
| 73936 I wish to try out the Add-In Section of Throne of Bhaalâ€â€the dungeon of Watcher's Keep. |
| 73937 Please enjoy your time in Watcher's Keep. |
| 73938 *twists onyx ring* |
| 73939 Thank you for playing the press build of Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. The section that you have played (including the city of Saradush and the first two levels of Watcher's Keep) represent about 20% of the full game. If you wish to continue playing and return to Saradush to do anything that you may have missed, simply use your Pocket Plane ability (found in your Special Abilities list). Whenever you leave the pocket plane, you will be given the option of going to Saradush, Watcher's Keep, or to the last place you were before entering the plane. |

| 73945 Elminster's Ecologies: Appendix IIIa |
| 73946 Elminster's Ecologies: Appendix IIIa This timeworn tome is written by the sage Elminster and apparently part of a much larger body of work containing detailed studies of most of the strange creatures from around Faerûn. The appendix seems to refer to newly discovered variations on normal breeds of creatures. Of particular interest: "Dense Puddingsâ€â€a relative of the slimes and molds, this pudding is relatively normal... except when exposed to electricity or fire. When this occurs, it splits into new puddings and can therefore be very dangerous." "Fire Trollsâ€â€a new form of troll thought to have been created by sorcerous fire giants for use as servants and guards. They are similar to regular trolls in most respects except for their lava-temperature skin and burning touch. Once they are defeated, they can only be permanently killed by cold or acid." "Fission Slimeâ€â€an offshoot of the slimes and molds, this particular slime will split into new and independent creatures when hit. It is vulnerable to fire, which will kill it permanently." "Magic Golemsâ€â€this rare type of golem is formed from pure magical energy and is completely immune to spellcraft as well as enchanted weapons. To my knowledge, only weapons without enchantments have any effects on this creature." "Marilithsâ€â€while this is apparently a legitimate form of demon, it is one that only an exceptional few have encountered and survived. The marilith is a six-armed demon with a human female front half and the back half of a snake. She is incredibly quick and deadly, and on top of her martial prowess with six swords, she casts spells as well. Fighters should beware: In addition to being immune to normal weapons and minor enchantments, this demon also likes to cast protection from magical weapons... which must be dispelled if a fighter is to have any chance with his armaments." |
| 73947 I owe him a debt of pain. You can tell him that. |
| 73948 True enough. He'll turn up eventuallyâ€â€somehow, I just know it. |
| 73949 We're doomed! Please help us! |

| 73957 Dealing with Gromnir A tavern waitress whom I rescued from some bullying soldiers mentioned that the city sewers are likely an entry into the castle. The entry to the sewers is sealed, however, and likely only Gromnir's men would know more about it. |
| 73958 The ghostly apparition I encountered a spirit of an old man in the prison. He is unable to communicate, but is obviously trying to. From what I can gather, his gravesite has been defiled in some manner. Perhaps some elven holy water or something similar would put this spirit at peace... although he also seems to be miming for some kind of necklace... or perhaps it's something to do with his head... as well. |
| 73959 The ghostly apparition Putting the ghost's skull and necklace into the shallow grave as well as using some elven holy water seems to have put the spirit at peace. It repaid me by opening a door which had been unopenable previously. |
| 73960 Meeting Volo I met the infamous historian Volo in Saradush... quite a different meeting from out first encounter long ago and far to the north. Volo is busy writing a book about me and my adventures and told me a little about what he planned. An odd feeling, to say the least, to be immortalized so. |
| 73961 Dealing with Gromnir A man by the name of Peltje was babbling about a group of vampires in the city masquerading as prostitutes. They base in the sewers, apparently, and might serve as a way to get inside the sewers... if a dangerous one. Then again, this Peltje could be as insane as he claims he isn't. |
| 73962 You... you have killed Balthazar. And everyone else in the monastery? I... I suppose Amkethran will just have to live on, despite our great loss. Do you... wish something, my <LADYLORD>? |
| 73963 Yes, let me see what you have. |
| 73964 No, I'll be on my way. |
| 73965 As you wish, my <LADYLORD>. You have freed our village, if at great cost... may the sand spirits walk with you always. |
| 73966 I... I... excuse me, my <LADYLORD>. Please don't hurt me! |
| 73967 You have freed our village, my <LADYLORD>. The loss of the monastery will be a terrible blow to us... but we are grateful. Is there... anything I can do for you? |
| 73968 Show me your services. |
| 73969 No, I'll go. |
| 73970 As you wish. |
| 73971 You have killed the head of the monastery. We are grateful to you, stranger. |
| 73972 Balthazar no longer threatens our people... though I fear the village is doomed with the monastery destroyed. With luck, we shall survive. Thank you, stranger, for all you have done. |
| 73973 Show me your merchandise, then. |
| 73974 Yeah, thanks for the tip. I'll be on my way. |
| 73975 Do you know anything about Melissan, then? |
| 73976 Well, I was told he'd speak to me. Perhaps I should go and find out. |

| 73981 Ooo! Shiny ones! |
| 73982 Arcana Archives |
| 73983 Cespenar is good servant, oh yes! |
| 73986 No hurts! No hurts, please! No hurts! |
| 73988 Run, Cespenar, run! Run! Oh no, nutters! No slaughter Cespenar, no! |
| 73989 Perhaps the rod of resurrection might be able to restore him. Let's see... |
| 73990 I can't help you... but perhaps a cleric in my party could. |
| 73991 I'm no Bhaalspawn, little boy. My name is <GABBER>. |
| 73992 Well... could you get them to help me? Could you, please? I... *sob* I just want my daddy back! |
| 73993 Yes, quite a feat. I suppose a reward is out of the question...? |
| 73994 A... reward? We are destitute, my <LADYLORD>. I wish I had something to give you... but all I can do is thank you for giving me another chance at life. Tazit... he would have been all by himself. |
| 73995 Thank you again, truly. I... I hope that you can do something to save this town. Or perhaps save us all. |
| 73996 You... you raised me? But... such spells are so expensive! Never in my life could I have afforded to be raised! I... feel unworthy of your attention, my <LADYLORD>, but I thank you nevertheless. |
| 74011 You cannot cast this spell until the current casting has run out. |
| 74013 Mooooo |
| 74014 Moo |
| 74021 You try to leave the level but are pushed back by some invisible force. It appears that you require something in order to pass. |
| 74022 Tail Slap |
| 74024 The bell swings soundlessly, seemingly supported by some invisible force. An inscription on the wall reads: "Beware, O mortal, and heed these words: Keep well the ritual, and still shall sit the bell. But should the Imprisoned One break his bonds, This bell shall ring out warning to Helm. He shall know thou has failed in thy duty, And His anger will burn like the midday sun." |
| 74025 Please, take this ring. |
| 74026 This low villain deserves nothing but contempt... as do you, <CHARNAME>, if you listen to his words! |
| 74027 Calm down, Mazzy. You're judging me for things I haven't even done yet. |

| 74030 Your cruel tongue is a fine fit for your vile character, <CHARNAME>. I will stay with you no more! |

| 74048 Your divine essence slowly fades, and for a moment, you feel empty, incomplete. |
| 74049 There is no peace for a child of Bhaal. |
| 74050 You've learned this lesson time and again, as all who are close to you suffer because of your tainted blood. |
| 74051 When Jon Irenicus fell, you had hoped for some sort of respite, but peril follows you like pestilence. |
| 74052 The time of the prophecy has come. |
| 74053 Five powerful Bhaalspawn have arisen, leading their armies across the Sword Coast, slaughtering their weaker siblings and innocents alike in a wave of massive destruction. |
| 74054 Like wildfire, panic spreads before the armies of the Five, and those suspected of being children of Bhaal are cast out and reviled. |
| 74055 Even in Suldanessellar, unease grows into fear at your presence. |
| 74056 Queen Ellesime urges you to visit a sacred grove where the ancients might shed light on your fate. |
| 74057 You wonder what part you will play in the dreaded prophecy... |
| 74058 and how long before its culmination devours your soul. |
| 74059 Only one thing seems certain. |
| 74060 So long as Bhaal's Throne of Blood stands empty... chaos shall reign. |
| 74061 It is frightening, but soon yields to a new sensation, one of hope. |
| 74062 With your closest companions at your side, you are free to live out your mortal life, no longer a pawn of Bhaal's Prophecy. |
| 74063 The adventure draws to a close, but there will be more to come. |
| 74064 Even as a mortal, you are to be looked upon in awe, and your power commands attention, both friendly and otherwise. |
| 74065 Your life is yours, as are the trials to come. |
| 74066 As years pass, tales of your exploits shall spread far and wide, and bards will sing your name along with heroes and villains of legend. |
| 74067 Your life may be mortal, your time now finite, but the mark you have left upon the realms will endure. |
| 74068 Your mortal essence crumbles as you embrace your fate and take the legacy of Bhaal as your own. |
| 74069 You welcome the divine power and feel your dark influence flow over all that you know. |
| 74070 The Abyss welcomes you, and you know you can shape it to your darkest desires. |
| 74071 All your enemies have been crushed, but there will be more to come. |
| 74072 You are one of many in the crowded planes, but you are certain to destroy any challenge. |
| 74073 You have stolen the destiny of a god, and none shall stand in your way. |
| 74074 In time, all will know your terrible name. |
| 74075 Your tyranny shall be renowned, your strength and guile legendary. |
| 74076 You are the Bhaalspawn, Lord of Murder, and the mark you have carved upon the realms shall never fade. |
| 74077 Your mortal essence fades away as you embrace your divinity. |
| 74078 Through friends and enemies, you have conquered your heritage, turning shadow to light, and now the infernal power of Bhaal no longer holds sway. |
| 74079 You will take your place among the powers, as a force of balance and good. |
| 74080 It is the close of many things, but a new destiny stretches endlessly before you. |
| 74081 There are greater evils to fight than you might have dared imagine and sights among the planes that you had never thought possible. |
| 74082 In the years to come, your name shall be a beacon in times of darkness. |
| 74083 Tales of your life shall inspire and guide, while servants of darkness will flee your wrath. |
| 74084 It is a legacy that will forever change the face of the realms. |
| 74085 No! |
| 74086 Damn you! |
| 74087 No! Too strong! |
| 74088 Nooooo! |
| 74089 Abazigal must be preventing you from leaving. |

| 74118 More mortals for the proverbial meat grinder. How I enjoy watching your kind fall to all manner of blade and fang! |
| 74119 I need equipment. What do you have for sale? |
| 74120 You don't seem to mind being here. |
| 74121 And why would I? I have a front-row seat to the greatest show in the planes... And Baeloth is not immortal. He will die soon enough, and then I shall be free. |
| 74122 But you did not come here willingly? |
| 74123 Ah, perhaps I did not. But perhaps I had more of a hand in my fate than a mortal such as yourself would realize. Now... weapons. You need them, I assume? |
| 74124 Most impressive, mortal. You have made significant progress in the arena; it is truly a shame that you will be dead sooner rather than later. |
| 74125 You should hope for our continual success; soon we will find a way to drag Baeloth into the arena with us. |
| 74126 Proud words from such an insignificant mote of dust. No, you shall fall in combat and Baeloth will bring in a fresh batch of combatants. It is the way of things around here. |
| 74127 And if we prove you wrong? |
| 74128 Then I shall be disappointed. Feh, tell me what you wish to buyâ€â€quickly! I grow tired of your voice. |
| 74129 How may I assist you? |
| 74130 I'd like to see what you have in stock. |
| 74131 Nothing right now. |
| 74132 Are they awake yet? Up! UP! UP, DAMN YOU! Rouse yourselves, you lice-laden layabouts! |
| 74133 Excellent. Stand and salute, my playthings! Your lives, which were previously meaningless, are about to become infinitely more exciting! It's a shame it will be so short-lived. |
| 74134 You have been brought here by an unlucky roll of the die. Well, unlucky for *you* at least. Gather some equipment, gird your loins, and prepare to die! Najim, be a good slave and take care of them. |
| 74135 And don't forget to give them a little spending money! |
| 74136 I can heeeeeear you! |
| 74137 It took you long enough, you pathetic pack of peripatetics! Are you ready for your very first battle in my arena? I have a crowd waiting, and I want them to see a good show! |
| 74138 We are ready. |
| 74139 We aren't ready yet. |
| 74140 Please, free us and let us return home. |
| 74141 Step into the arena with us, Baeloth! We will strike you down and win our freedom! |
| 74142 Huzzah! Now then, are you ready to hear about what you'll be fighting? I do love to dangle fate above my pets. |
| 74143 Oh, I'm afraid I can't do that. I would be disappointing hundreds of people! And look at all the hard work I've put into creating this complex. Why, did you know that before I enslaved the duergar and forced them to expand this place, they were just living here, day in, day out, doing whatever it is those dwarven offshoots DO? How BORING! |
| 74144 In fact, even the NAME was an utter bore. "The Black Isle," they called it. Please! If you're going to live in the Moonshea Isles, at least give your patch of land an original title. Now then, you're going out there. And you're going to give me an EXCELLENT performance! |
| 74145 And if we refuse? |
| 74146 I'll kill you, of course! And maybe your families! Now thenâ€â€throw on some big smiles and... oh, dear, maybe don't smile. Have a cleric look at that. Soon. Anyway, back on topic. Are you ready to hear what you'll be battling against? |
| 74147 If I were to die, who would look after my guests? Who would oversee the djinn? Who would summon more combatants for the arena? Really now, you're just being ridiculous. Now thenâ€â€are you ready to hear what you'll be battling against? |
| 74148 Prepare thyselves, mortals! A gruesome fate awaits you at the hands of my ravenous, bloodthirsty, scabies-ridden GIBBERLING HORDE! Your knees will be little more than bloody pulp by the time they finish with you! |
| 74149 Congratulations, you have slain a horde of primitive rat-men. I grant thee a reward worthy of such a heroic act. |
| 74150 Behold! Your enemies are a pack of road-weary hobgoblins that I picked up from the roadways south of Waterdeep, and they're just ITCHING for a chance to escape! I might have given them the impression that the path to freedom lies within your sundered bellies, so watch yourself. |
| 74151 Goodness, the look on their faces when they realized they would never see those disgusting caverns they call home ever again! I think that deserves a bonus. |
| 74152 I do enjoy toying with lesser spellcasters. I captured this insolent little necromancer running for his life outside of Menzoberranzan. How he got there, I don't know. But he does raise skeletons to fight at his side with astonishing proficiency. |
| 74153 Uncanny! You seem to have a knack for killing things that are already dead. If only you displayed a little more flair and enthusiasm for your work. |
| 74154 Oh, now I feel a little bad about this one... I've gone ahead and allowed your opponents into the arena ahead of you, as I feel like their talents would be wasted otherwise. I won't ruin the surprise, thoughâ€â€get in there and find out! Chop chop! |
| 74155 Hmm... I didn't think you'd sidestep all those traps I instructed them to set up. You should be a pile of constituent body parts right now! Bah, take your reward and choke on it. |
| 74156 You've beaten my hobgoblins, which means you're exceptionally strong. You've also bested my pet spellcaster, which means that you've studied well. I can clearly not rely on one extreme or another, so instead I shall crush you with a combination of enemies to match you at every turn. I stole this group from their beds at the Friendly Arm Inn! Have fun. |
| 74157 Inconceivable! Get out of here, and take your reward with you. |
| 74158 Ridiculous! Outstanding! Impossible! Fantastic! You've managed to crush everything I've thrown at you. Clearly I have excellent taste when picking gladiators. A strange handicap. |
| 74159 You've survived for longer than I expected, and gained quite an audience following. But don't worry, you'll be dead soon enough! I've dug out some of my rarer beasts. Very soon now they'll crack your skull open and feast on the gooey innards! |
| 74160 We've served our purposeâ€â€your guests are entertained! Let us return home, and you can find new combatants! |
| 74161 Oh, don't be such a preposterously petulant persnicket. I'll tell you whatâ€â€because you've been so gracious about all this kidnapping and forced to fight to the death business, I'll give you a reward! |
| 74162 Now get ready for your next battle! You'll most likely be slain, so make whatever rituals are necessary for your culture. |
| 74163 What do... oh. M-more of your sort. All right, I... I'll get you whatever you need. I deal mainly in ranged... ranged weaponry. W-what can I get you? |
| 74164 I need ranged weaponry and ammunition. What do you have for sale? |
| 74165 How did you come to be here, elf? |
| 74166 I'd... I'd better not waste any time t-talking to you. Baeloth will... he will cause me further s-suffering. I am merely a slave to his will, <RACE>. P-please do not bring me to his attention. |
| 74167 You're quite jitteryâ€â€what has Baeloth done to you? |
| 74168 F-forget I said anything! Please! J-just... buy something before he c-comes over. I don't wish to cross him further. |
| 74169 Yes! More mortals to writhe and twist in agony upon the battlefield! Were I not enjoying the plight of these accursed djinn so much, I would be tempted to step into the arena and eviscerate you myself. |
| 74170 I need cloaks, boots, and girdles. What do you have for sale? |
| 74171 You don't seem to belong here. |
| 74172 And who are you to judge where I belong, <RACE>? I was invited here by Baeloth, as I have served him as a fine clothier in the past. I readily accepted such an invitation, I get to see these djinn suffer under a geas and have a front-row seat to the arenas! Not to mention my finely crafted magical goods will be seen by hundreds of spectators from across the realms. |
| 74173 If you are not under a geas, you must help us escape! We could find some way to repay you for your help once we are free. |
| 74174 Hah! This is why I love attending these events: You mortals are an endlessly deep font of humor. No, I believe you shall stay exactly where you are. Now thenâ€â€should I begin fitting you for a burial shroud? |
| 74175 Aye, ye're Baeloth's latest twerps, are ye? Well, I hope ye at least spit in his eye before ye die, unlike the last few that came through here. Useless lot! |
| 74176 What are you doing here? Has Baeloth abducted you as well? |
| 74177 Feh! Abducted! This here is me home! Or at least it was, until that bloody wizard came and slaughtered me entire clan. After taking the time to have us dig out this blasted complex, of course. |
| 74178 Your entire clan?! Why aren't you at Baeloth's throat? |
| 74179 The gods will deal with Baeloth in time. Until then, I'm under some sort of sorcery that prevents me from disobeying. I wish he'd vaporized me along with the rest of usâ€â€at least I wouldn't have to suffer this embarrassment every damn day! Now what do ye want? Get on with it! |
| 74180 Weapons both light and small can be yours, for a fair price. Shall I help you make a selection, or would you just like to browse? |
| 74181 You do not seem upset about your enslavement at the hands of Baeloth. |
| 74182 And if I were, mortal? What good would it do me? We djinn are accustomed to being bound in service to some individual or another, although I do not particularly care for this master. |
| 74183 How did Baeloth manage to bind all of you? |
| 74184 A tale not worth telling, little one. Suffice it to say, I have my suspicions about some of the occupants of my freehold, but they are suspicions and nothing more. Let us instead discuss the matter at hand: You need weapons. And I imagine you have needs related to them? |
| 74185 Your prowess in battle has become well known, <RACE>. I have seen few other mortals with your... knack, as it were. Perhaps it was my blades that aided you? |
| 74186 Perhaps. And perhaps you could fashion a blade that would cut Baeloth down. |
| 74187 Oh, undoubtedly I could. But you and I both know that this geas prevents me from acting against him. It seems... odd... that such a mortal like Baeloth could have bound all of us djinn. While he possesses great magical talent, he is not invulnerable or uniquely gifted among mages. With enough practice, even you could slay him. And yet... here we are. |
| 74188 Here we are indeed. |
| 74189 Perhaps an artifact props him up, or perhaps he is of great mind and foresees all possible outcomes. A well-prepared man, or merely a lucky one? Hmm. There is a chance Laiq could shine some light on this conundrum. |
| 74190 Greetings, mortal. It would appear that you have fallen into the same fate as I, the mighty Balil! |
| 74191 I need potions. What do you have for sale? |
| 74192 Yes, we are both forced to act against our wills. |
| 74193 We djinn are known for our... servitude. But this master is intolerable. I will shake all of Faerûn with my laughter when he at last meets his fate. |
| 74194 Is there any way to break the geas he has placed upon you? |
| 74195 He could release us, or he could perish. I would accept the former; I would prefer the latter. Of course, the former would most likely lead to the latter! Now then... shall I set you up with some potent potables? |
| 74196 Hahaha! The triumphant mortal returns! Tell me, did the insufferable grin on Baeloth's face crumble as you struck down his last minion? Wait, do not tell me! The image in my mind brings me pure bliss! |
| 74197 So far Baeloth has maintained his irritating personality of "upbeat torturer." |
| 74198 Were I not bound by this geas, I would take up arms beside you in the arena! We would slaughter all who assailed us, and then drag Baeloth down from his viewing chamber to face us in battle! |
| 74199 There is yet hope that we can overthrow the tyrant. |
| 74200 Indeed, I can see the hope burning within your mighty heart. Keep winning, mortal, and perhaps Baeloth will run out of patience. |
| 74201 Take heart, young mortal. Baeloth shall not reign over you forever. Soon you will perish and your souls will be free to reach their final destination. |
| 74202 I need rings, wands, and amulets. What do you have for sale? |
| 74203 I would prefer to stay alive for as long as I can! |
| 74204 It has been my experience that most of your kind share that wish. But when presented with a situation where continuing to live would result in further torment, why persist? |
| 74205 There is always the chance of escape! |
| 74206 Yes, perhaps there is. But it is a remote chance, and one not worth considering. Instead, make peace with your gods so that when you do fall in battle, they embrace you warmly. Now thenâ€â€I am bound to provide you with rings, wands, and amulets. |
| 74207 I am Laiq the Seer, and you... you are <CHARNAME>. Yes, I can see you have led quite a life... hmm... never mind. Perhaps I was seeing someone else. |
| 74208 I need magical scrolls. What do you have for sale? |
| 74209 Can you see the future, or merely the past? |
| 74210 The future, the past, the present... I see many things. I do not always choose what I see, and if you wish to see what your future holds, I cannot guarantee it with any accuracy. |
| 74211 So then... how is that any different from guessing? |
| 74212 The difference is very, very subtle, mortal. Let us change the subject for a while... I have a variety of items available for you. |
| 74213 Ah, <CHARNAME>. You continue to return from battle, no worse for wear. Your many possible futures have begun to coalesce... the remaining ones seem to be tied to Baeloth. Perhaps you will engage him directly. |
| 74214 How can I engage him directly if his powers prevent it? |
| 74215 Baeloth is merely a mortal, like you. He may have made some powerful friends, or could possess some ancient item of power, but he can be stripped of all those things in time. Or, like many tyrants, his pride will cause him to err in some way. |
| 74216 Can you help me accelerate any of those events, Laiq? |
| 74217 Hmmm. Would that I could, <CHARNAME>. Would that I could. |
| 74218 More playthings for Baeloth? I have seen felines with longer attention spans than that drow. I suppose you've come here because you've wisely decided that being light on your feet is the only way to prolong your life? |
| 74219 How many individuals has Baeloth summoned here? |
| 74220 Oh, several dozen. Perhaps hundreds by now. I try not to pay attention or grow too attached: They have a habit of perishing rather quickly. Sometimes you can't help it... the last group had a striking avariel couple among its ranks. Brought here together, the poor souls. |
| 74221 Avariel? |
| 74222 Elves with the gift of flight. Enormous wings, beautiful plumage. Very rare indeed in this day and age, they have few cities left and are sought after by manhunters. Now thenâ€â€enough chit chat. You require armor, and I am bound to service that need. |
| 74223 Ah, the ones who have stymied Baeloth. He may act one way, but I have come to detect when he masks his displeasure. You should have died long ago, mortal. And yet you remain. |
| 74224 Baeloth underestimated us. |
| 74225 I as well. Few have stood for as long as you have, and fewer still with such stoic courage. You are different, mortal. Do not let Baeloth defeat you. |
| 74226 Do you know of any way we could take the fight to Baeloth? |
| 74227 Alas, I do not. And even if I did, I could not tell you. Perhaps you could force his hand by depleting his supply of minions, but his reach is vast and he continually brings in more and more exotic creatures. |
| 74228 I serve as I am commanded. Here, take this. Speak with the other djinn to equip yourselves, and once you are prepared, report to Baeloth. Do not attempt to escape, or I and the others will be forced to slit your throats. |
| 74229 Where are we? What's going on? I demand an explanation! |
| 74230 You shall try, and you shall fail! |
| 74231 You have been summoned to this island fortress by Baeloth. We are in a complex known as the Black Pits, dug by duergar slaves. You are to fight in the battle pits until you die, for the amusement of Baeloth's guests. I have answered your questions; now do as I say. Prepare for battle! |
| 74232 It seems I have no choice. I shall do as you ask. |
| 74233 Wait! Baeloth said you are slavesâ€â€together we could rise up against him! |
| 74234 My djinni blood burns with arcane power beyond your reckoning. Snuffing out the fire of your life would be to me like crushing an irritating insect for you. Now do as you are toldâ€â€prepare for battle! |
| 74235 Baeloth said you were a slave! Rise up and we shall defeat him! |
| 74236 No. The djinn here are bound by an undying geas, powerful magic that prevents us from disobeying him. Were we not under this compulsion, we would have slaughtered him as one does a bull long ago. |
| 74237 I tire of discussion, mortal. Prepare yourself for battle, and then speak with Baeloth. |
| 74238 It seems I am under a similar compulsion. |
| 74239 Impressive, mortal. Your feats in the arena have become a frequent topic of conversation. Perhaps you will set a new record for longest surviving combatant. |
| 74240 Is there nothing you can do to help us escape? |
| 74241 I will conquer whatever obstacle that is placed in front of me. I will scale a mountain of slain enemies to escape this dungeon! |
| 74242 Perhaps I will, Najim. |
| 74243 No. Baeloth has tasked me with giving you this reward for your outstanding performance. Take it, and prepare for your next battle. |
| 74244 You overestimate your abilities, <RACE>. Baeloth has tasked me with giving you this reward for your outstanding performance. Take it, and prepare for your next battle. |
| 74245 Baeloth has tasked me with giving you this reward for your outstanding performance. Take it, and prepare for your next battle. |
| 74246 I have nothing to say to you. |
| 74250 Create a new character. |
| 74251 Not usable by: |
| 74252 Usable by: |
| 74253 While your foster father did his best to guide you toward virtue, you have always been fascinated by the power that can be attained through evil. Uninterested in spellbooks or knowledge of the divine, you would plead with the Watchers to teach you the deadly art of martial combat. Each teacher, increasingly uneasy about your growing darkness, eventually refused to teach you more. But you would simply move on to the next, casually casting your former tutors away. Your lust for power eventually led you to a forbidden tome deep within Candlekeep, a tome that put you into contact with an evil outsider. In exchange for dark power, you agreed for that outsider to become your patron. Now you seek nothing more than an excuse to leave Candlekeep and exercise your new abilities upon an unsuspecting world. |
| 74254 Much to the irritation of your loving foster father, you have always been a wild spirit. Books held no interest for you, nor did disciplined combat. The Watchers spent years wondering what to do with you, until the fateful day when an Uthgardt barbarian from Icewind Dale delivered an ancient scroll to Candlekeep. The short time she remained had a deep impact upon you. She taught you the ways of the barbarian, the connection to spirits of nature, and how to unleash wild rages. By the time she left, you knew that you would follow the same path. Her visit was several years ago, and ever since then you have found the walls of Candlekeep to be intolerably stifling. |
| 74255 Your youth was shaped by two major influences: your foster father Gorion and a group of monks in the service of Bahamut who spent several years within Candlekeep. While Gorion worked to grow your intelligence and kindness, these seemingly strange monks fostered your wisdom and discipline. After they left, you adopted their ways as your own and can now rightfully call yourself a monk. While you treasure the years spent in Candlekeep, you now feel the urge to pursue spiritual wisdom. |
| 74256 Inspired by your foster father's knowledge of the magical arts, you took steps to duplicate his abilities. Uninterested in a structured study of magic, you chose instead to harness raw magic and use it how you saw fit. Gorion was kind enough to give pointers here and there, but was never entirely comfortable with your reckless approach to magic. After years of practice, you now feel that you are a capable sorcerer, but could be so much more if you were to travel the realms in search of greater knowledge. |

| 74276 IMOEN chuckles when you ask her about her past, assuming you are just trying to keep her mind on happier times and places. She indulges you, and certainly does cheer up when speaking of how you spent your youths together in Candlekeep. She arrived there the same as you, in the company of your foster father Gorion, but despite this similarity, she grew up much more carefree than you did. Indeed, her lighthearted outlook has long kept her immune to the hardships of the world, though the horrors she has endured have definitely taken their toll. |

| 74508 Hrmm. What are you looking at? |
| 74509 Me? I'm not looking at anything, sir. |
| 74510 I'm looking at you, Dorn. It hasn't been so long; surely you remember me? |
| 74511 I'm looking at one of the ugliest half-orcs I've ever had the misfortune to lay eyes upon. |
| 74512 That's you. Making friends and influencing people. |
| 74513 He's not that ugly. Boo's seen much uglier half-orcs. Haven't you, Boo? |
| 74514 I shudder to think what that hamster's seen in its life. |
| 74515 Who dares insult Dorn Il-Khan? Tell me your name, <PRO_RACE>. Whose blood will slake my blade's thirst? |
| 74516 My name is <CHARNAME>, and your life will be much improvedâ€â€and extendedâ€â€if we talked rather than fought. |
| 74517 You know my name, Dorn Il-Khan. It wasn't so long ago we traveled the Sword Coast together. |
| 74518 Calm yourself. I intended it as a compliment. What finds you here outside a temple? Forgive my bluntness, but you don't strike me as the pious type. |
| 74519 I've been drunk before, but never from a sword. Farewell, Dorn-Il-Khan. |
| 74520 Then look elsewhere before I pluck the eyes from your skull. Begone! |
| 74521 As you wish. |
| 74522 I'll look where I please, and nothing would please me more than not looking at you. |
| 74523 And if my way is to that temple your eyes are so enamored with? |
| 74524 You don't seriously intend to let this wretched monkey get away talking to us like that, do you? |
| 74525 Hear hear! I'm actually a bit surprised we haven't turned to stone yet. |
| 74526 Let's go. |
| 74527 Did he hear that? I think he heard thatâ€â€we should probably start running. |
| 74528 You told me nothing of having business at the temple. |
| 74529 I'm not saying I'm going to the temple. I just want to know what'll happen if I do. |
| 74530 <CHARNAME>, of course. It's been a while. I am... pleased to see that you haven't been strangled to death with your own wit. |
| 74531 It has. What finds you skulking around here? You're not seeking redemption after a life of crime and violence, are you? Given your exploits, that ship has sailed. |
| 74532 Not long enough for my tastes. |
| 74533 You'll taste steel in your gut if you don't still your wagging tongue! |
| 74534 Hey now, let's not turn this into something even less pleasant! What are you doing here? |
| 74535 Great. Now that we've sorted that out, we can get down to business. Who are we killing today? |
| 74536 Answer the question, blackguard. What are you doing here? |
| 74537 What business is that of yours? |
| 74538 Call me crazy, but there's something about a lurking blackguard I find worrisome. I just want to make sure whatever bloodshed's about to occur doesn't stain my clothes. |
| 74539 None whatsoever, but I am curious. |
| 74540 Perhaps I sense an opportunity. |
| 74541 Then you'd be well advised to seek another house of worship. |
| 74542 Seems like sound advice. |
| 74543 Now that sounds interesting. Tell me more. |
| 74544 We might have a problem here. It sounds like you're preparing to attack the same temple I am. Or perhaps what we actually have is an opportunity. |
| 74545 He threatens the Order of the Radiant Heart! We cannot just leave. |
| 74546 You're right. I'm sorry, Dorn, but whatever you've got planned, I won't allow it to happen. |
| 74547 Sure we can. Just do what I do. |
| 74548 We can, and we will. |
| 74549 So be itâ€â€the prospect of your soul has always excited my patron! |
| 74550 Whatever this villain has planned for my god's temple, I can't permit it. |
| 74551 I'm with you, Anomen. Leave this place, Dorn. While you still can. |
| 74552 You sure there's no way I can talk you out of this? No? All right. Sorry, Dorn. I guess we've got to fight you now. |
| 74553 I'd like to see you stop it. Seriously. I haven't seen a good fight in ages. |
| 74554 You're a fool, Anomen. Don't expect any help from me in this. |
| 74555 Then pay the price for your folly! |
| 74556 Slay the blackguard! |
| 74557 For Torm! |
| 74558 You plan to attack a temple of the Radiant Heart, <CHARNAME>? You know I cannot let that stand. |
| 74559 Keldorn, my friend, you need to lighten up. Don't you know a joke when you hear one? |
| 74560 Relax, Keldorn. It was a plan, barely that... 'twas but the first tiny inkling of a scheme, if not less, the barest sketch of the notion of the vague possibility of a plot. So this one doesn't come to fruition. I'll live. I've got others. |
| 74561 You can't let that stand? Then I can't let you stand. Draw your blade! |
| 74562 You've a sharp wit, <CHARNAME>, but on this occasion you fail to amuse. |
| 74563 Forgive me, my friend. Let me make it up to you by dealing with this blackguard. |
| 74564 Deal with my blade, foolish <PRO_RACE>! |
| 74565 Do I know you, <PRO_RACE>? You seem familiar... |
| 74566 I don't think so. You've got the sort of face that's hard to forget. |
| 74567 I fear you've been in one too many battles, with one helmet less than required. We know each other well, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 74568 I fear you've been in one too many battles, with one helmet less than required. We know each other well, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 74569 You'll find my face my most pleasing aspect if you don't mind your tongue. |
| 74570 My name is <CHARNAME>. And you still haven't answered my question. |
| 74571 Dorn Il-Khan. And you still haven't told me what business that is of yours. |
| 74572 I just want to avoid trouble. |
| 74573 Don't play coy, half-orc. I smell an opportunity here. |
| 74574 And what opportunity would that be? |
| 74575 The opportunity to help a powerful friend and allyâ€â€and to have that friend and ally in my debt. |
| 74576 The chance to enrich myself and my friends. Whatever you plan, surely many hands will make easier work of it than just your own? |
| 74577 The opportunity to spill the blood of the pious. Are you saying I'm wrong? |
| 74578 Hrmm... 'Tis true we could make quicker work of this together than apart. |
| 74579 What work needs doing this <DAYNIGHT>? |
| 74580 I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this, <CHARNAME>... |
| 74581 Do you truly want to ally yourself with this half-orc? |
| 74582 If I didn't, do you think I would? |
| 74583 You can't work with such as this, <CHARNAME>. Have you forgotten all that Gorion taught you? |
| 74584 Not all of it, Jaheira. But Gorion is gone. I am my own <PRO_MANWOMAN> now. |
| 74585 My raven wants to lay with a vulture. Would that I found it surprising. |
| 74586 You know me well. |
| 74587 Ummm... exactly how well is "well"? |
| 74588 I've worked with Dorn before. |
| 74589 Well enough to know what I'm getting into. |
| 74590 Well, that's reassuring. |
| 74591 You know this half-orc, <CHARNAME>? I didn't think you had it in you. |
| 74592 When we parted ways, I roamed the Sword Coast, seeking my fortune and occasionally doing as my patron bid me. |
| 74593 I must admit, his "occasional" demands are becoming more frequent. |
| 74594 The inevitable consequence of a life of service. |
| 74595 But the power he supplies is surely worth the effort. |
| 74596 I've put countless men to the blade in Ur-Gothoz's nameâ€â€women and children too. It's one thing to slaughter the occasional village, but lately what he asks is more specific... and often more dangerous. |
| 74597 Be silent. A vile tale told by a monsterâ€â€I'll endure it no longer. Your story ends here, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 74598 A tale of glory, written in the blood of the innocent. Tell me more, Dorn. |
| 74599 Glory, yes... |
| 74600 You sound uncertain. |
| 74601 At first, I enjoyed the work, drunk on the power Ur-Gothoz provides... |
| 74602 But now? |
| 74603 Now...? It matters not. |
| 74604 My patron demands the death of Bollard Firejaw of the Order of the Golden Lions. He demands it happen here in the temple of the Radiant Heart, and he demands it happen soon. |
| 74605 I cannot allow such villainy to befall a house of worship. |
| 74606 The assassination of a priest? I cannot be a part of this. |
| 74607 I've never seen a Radiant Heart bleed before. When do we begin? |
| 74608 Your patron's a pretty demanding person, isn't he? |
| 74609 Only a fool would think he can stop it. |
| 74610 Draw your sword, Dorn Il-Khan. We'll see who the fool is here. |
| 74611 I like a joke as much as the next <PRO_GIRLBOY>, but I'm no fool. Goodbye. |
| 74612 I'd try and stop the tides before I stood against you, Dorn. |
| 74613 Join me, then. Together, we shall wade through the blood of all who would oppose us. |
| 74614 Wade? We'll need to swim! |
| 74615 Are you calling Boo a fool? |
| 74616 This half-orc's evil befouls the world! Arvoreen would smile on those that stand against him. |
| 74617 We are of one mind on this, Mazzy. |
| 74618 In the name of Ur-Gothoz, die! |
| 74619 He is. I won't deny that it can be... frustrating. But the power he offers is irresistible. |
| 74620 I understand, but there must be other ways to acquire this power. |
| 74621 I understand. Well, the church is right there. Shall we do what your patron demands? |
| 74622 The pursuit of power is a game I know well. Enough talking. Let's do as your patron demands. |
| 74623 That's easy for you to say, Bhaalspawn. Not all of us had the good fortune to be born to power. For the rest of us, 'tis better to have power and seek more than have none and clutch at any. |
| 74624 Your cynicism saddens me, but I see there's nothing I can say to change your mind. |
| 74625 If you're happy to live as a servant, who am I to argue? |
| 74626 In this world, the wise seize what they can when they're able. But enough talk. I believe church awaits? |
| 74627 Words are hollow. It's actions that define us. |
| 74628 I couldn't agree more. Which is why I'm getting the hell out of here. |
| 74629 I couldn't agree more. Shall we define ourselves on yon house of worship? |
| 74630 Watch your tongue, <CHARNAME>. I can use you, but I don't need you. |
| 74631 Forgive me, Dorn. I know this must be a... delicate topic for you. |
| 74632 What? I just said I wished you were happy. |
| 74633 The feeling is mutual, half-orc. Now shall we continue to tarry here glaring at the temple and drawing attention to ourselves, or would you rather do as your master commands? |
| 74634 Hrmmm. |
| 74635 Shall we be about our bloody business, then? |
| 74636 There there. I'm sure things will look brighter tomorrow, with Bollard Firejaw's blood upon your sword. Shall we? |
| 74637 Enough talk. The church and Bollard Firejaw await! |
| 74638 Well, I tried. Perhaps a trip to the church of the Radiant Heart will cheer you up. |
| 74639 There's the cheerful, upbeat half-orc I remember so well! Ready to go to church? |
| 74640 Couldn't have put it better myself. But enough talk. I've a thirst that can only be quenched by the spilling of blood, and a Radiant Heart beats before us. |
| 74641 I've heard of you, <CHARNAME>. Your reputation is... impressive. |
| 74642 As is yours. What finds you here, skulking outside a temple of the Radiant Heart? |
| 74643 You don't look like the kind of man I usually picture hanging around a temple of the Radiant Heart. |
| 74644 Yours, too. Which is reason enough for me to take my leave of you. |
| 74645 Not long enough, for my tastes. |
| 74646 No one asked you to. Just let me do my job, and we'll have no problems. |
| 74647 Then I'm afraid we have some problems. |
| 74648 The last thing I want is problems with you. Farewell. |
| 74649 <CHARNAME>, a word? |
| 74650 I can't help but notice we haven't visited the Radiant Heart's temple recently, or that a certain cleric by the name of Firejaw continues to draw breath. When do you plan to rectify the situation? |
| 74651 In truth, Dorn, I find the notion disturbing. I'm not sure I'll be able to help you in this. |
| 74652 Assassinating a priest of the Triad is no trivial matter. It'll take me a while to get comfortable with the idea. |
| 74653 No time like the present. |
| 74654 When I see fit, Dorn, and not a second sooner. If you've a problem with that, you're welcome to take your leave. |
| 74655 I may just do that if we don't act soon. |
| 74656 Get comfortable soon, <PRO_RACE>. My patron's patience is not without limit. |
| 74657 If that's how it is, I'll take my leave of you. |
| 74658 My patience grows thin, <CHARNAME>. How much longer do you intend to ignore the temple of the Radiant Heart? |
| 74659 As long as possible, though I gather I'm running out of time. |
| 74660 How much longer is there? |
| 74661 I shall ignore it as long as I choose. Is that a problem, half-orc? |
| 74662 Your help would be appreciated, but it's not required. |
| 74663 I've given it a lot of thought, Dorn. I can't condone the assassination of a priest. |
| 74664 All right, Dorn. You've twisted my arm. Let's go visit a temple. |
| 74665 Your presence is no longer appreciated or required. |
| 74666 You'll have no problems with me, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 74667 You would dismiss me, <CHARNAME>? Try dismissing my blade! |
| 74668 I know not, but would rather not find out the hard way. |
| 74669 There is nothing easy in the life you've chosen for yourself. |
| 74670 Then we shall waste no more. |
| 74671 You tremble like a rabbit at the thought of your patron's wrath. Your weakness sickens me. |
| 74672 Your cowardice disgusts me, <PRO_RACE>. I'll be on my way. |
| 74673 You call me weak? Defend yourself, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 74674 Only a fool would try Ur-Gothoz's patience. I'll not be a party to my own destruction. |
| 74675 A pox upon you and the she-beast who spawned you, <PRO_RACE>. I'll not stand here and be insulted by the likes of you. |
| 74676 The rewards are worth the effort. I can wait no longer. I must return to the temple of the Radiant Heart. |
| 74677 Good day to you and welcome to the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. Are you here for the wedding? |
| 74678 Yes. Yes, we are. |
| 74679 I suppose you could say we're here for part of it. |
| 74680 You don't really want to know what we're here for. |
| 74681 You said nothing of a wedding, Dorn. This changes things. |
| 74682 Death to the Radiant Heart! |
| 74683 A wedding?! I LOVE WEDDINGS! I haven't been to a wedding in years! The last one had two fights and a whole pack of summoned dire wolves. It was so romantic! Although... this one probably won't be as much. |
| 74684 I care nothing for weddings anymore. Four were more than enough. |
| 74685 That's what they all say. |
| 74686 Come now, Viconia. Even you must entertain the possibility of love. |
| 74687 I know the reality of men's lust, <CHARNAME>. I'll believe in love when I see it. |
| 74688 Are you with the bride or the groom? |
| 74689 The bride. |
| 74690 The groom. |
| 74691 Actually, I'm with this bloodthirsty blackguard! |
| 74692 I'm with the hamster. |
| 74693 For you perhaps. For my master and I, it changes nothing. |
| 74694 Then I'm done with both you and your master. |
| 74695 Let me attempt to change your mind. |
| 74696 Well, nothing important, anyway. Let's get down to work. |
| 74697 You don't want to cross Ur-Gothoz, and you certainly don't want to cross me. |
| 74698 You and that sword of yours make a persuasive argument. Very well. Let's go celebrate the couple's special day. |
| 74699 I'm afraid what I want and what honor demands are very much at odds in this instance. |
| 74700 You're not dealing with some shepherd wandering the Sword Coast now, Dorn. It'll take more than threats to steer me from my path. |
| 74701 I spit upon your honor, and I'll do the same to your corpse! |
| 74702 I wasn't threatening you, <CHARNAME>, merely stating the facts. Like me, only sharp steel may turn you from your course. If we're at odds, I'll give you nothing less. |
| 74703 Then show me your steel, for on my honor I'll not let you do as Ur-Gothoz commands. |
| 74704 I'm glad we understand each other. Now I believe we've a wedding to attend? |
| 74705 Go right on in. Sit anywhere. |
| 74706 Thank you. |
| 74707 Ah. That is... unfortunate. The bride's brother is here to prevent the groom's irritating friends from ruining the day. Boys! |
| 74708 It is? How so? |
| 74709 Who're you? |
| 74710 We're here for the wedding. We're with the bride. |
| 74711 I'm <CHARNAME>. Why do you ask? |
| 74712 We don't want to keep her waiting. An' believe me, you don't want to keep us waiting! |
| 74713 Stand aside and let us through, you greasy baboon. |
| 74714 Manners, Edwin. We are guests here. |
| 74715 Let us passâ€â€a dove's wings are about to be clipped, and I'd see the spectacle, dreary though it will doubtless be. |
| 74716 Do you truly find a wedding so very terrible? |
| 74717 Neither terrible nor transcendent, my fallen raven. Merely a distraction. |
| 74718 And what do you think, <CHARNAME>? |
| 74719 I think love heals all wounds. With the right person, one finds peace. Let's see if our friend, the bride, has found the right person. |
| 74720 I'm not much for weddings, but a party's a party. |
| 74721 Only a fool would add to <PRO_HISHER> burden taking responsibility for another. Now let us pass. |
| 74722 I don't recognize you. |
| 74723 I don't recognize you, either. And you are...? |
| 74724 The bride and I had a... special relationship once, if you know what I mean. |
| 74725 Do you recognize extreme peril? No? Then let me introduce you to my friend Dorn here. |
| 74726 Haskell. The bride's brother? |
| 74727 Very pleased to meet you, Haskell. May we go to the chapel to partake in your sister's joy? |
| 74728 Of course, Haskell. She mentioned you often. I hope my friends and I aren't too late to witness her blessed union. |
| 74729 The bride's dead brother, you mean. |
| 74730 Another one? Torm protect us, how many have warmed her bed? |
| 74731 That's hardly a polite thing to say about your sister. If it weren't her special day, I'd let her know what you said. |
| 74732 Look on the bright side: Today she becomes an honest woman. And now, if you'll let us through...? |
| 74733 Are you mocking me? |
| 74734 Not at all. Why would you think that? |
| 74735 This is no joyful occasion. My sister is heavy with child; this marriage takes place because my father wants it, not my sister nor her layabout husband-to-be. |
| 74736 Ah. Now I understand. Well, regardless of the circumstances, I'd still like to witness the marriage. |
| 74737 If it makes you feel better, neither she nor her lover will live to see the marriage consummated. Nor will you, now that I think of it. |
| 74738 I'm sorry. This ceremony is private, and I don't know you. Wait outside the church and you may congratulate the bride and groom when the deed is done. |
| 74739 Very well. See you after the ceremony. |
| 74740 I'm afraid I must insist. |
| 74741 More deeds will be done this day than you suspect, boy. But you'll not live to see them. |
| 74742 You mean to leave? |
| 74743 You heard the man. We're not welcome here. |
| 74744 I mean to leave this place covered in blood, starting with this whelp's. |
| 74745 Irregardless, I cannot let you enter. |
| 74746 We've business in the temple, boy. Stand aside and you may survive to see tomorrow dawn. |
| 74747 "Irregardless" isn't a word. I'd no quarrel with you before now, but for that alone, I'm afraid I shall have to kill you. It's harsh, I know, but I simply can't allow this sort of thing to pass. You understand, I'm sure. |
| 74748 I've got a half-orc here who might have problems with that. Dorn? |
| 74749 Better to die than live as a coward! |
| 74750 Dearly beloved... |
| 74751 And Colin, wretched piece of filth. |
| 74752 ...and Colin, we are gathered here today in the eyes of Torm to join this man... |
| 74753 ...this wretched piece of filth, you mean... |
| 74754 ...and this woman in holy matrimony. |
| 74755 Wait, waitâ€â€I can't do it. I can't go through with this. |
| 74756 Oh, you'll go through with it, my dear. I'll not have you shame our family with an illegitimate child. |
| 74757 Forgive me, Father, I lied. I'm not with child. |
| 74758 I knew it! |
| 74759 I knew you wanted me out of the house, Father, and Colin is a good, kind man. He would be a good provider for me and our child |
| 74760 Our nonexistent, imaginary child. |
| 74761 Damn it, Colin! With Tyr as my witness, I swear if you don't shut your mouth, I'll wring your bloody neck! |
| 74762 Please, take all the time you want to talk to your insane and in no way pregnant daughter. For myself, I'll just be going now. |
| 74763 Colin, please, forgive me. I did it for love. |
| 74764 As weddings go, I've been to worse. My uncle once married a horse. Her name was Hilda. When she died, he made her into glue so they'd never be apart. |
| 74765 I think this would perhaps be a good time to mention my honorarium is nonrefundable. |
| 74766 These two can't get married! I'm carrying Colin's child! |
| 74767 Bollard Firejaw! I've seen better priests begging for change on street corners! Let's see if you're a better fighter! |
| 74768 Dorn? This is your party. How do you suggest we proceed? |
| 74769 Wait, this isn't the Longfellow-Harle wedding. Sorry, ignore us, made a mistake. |
| 74770 It's not trueâ€â€that doesn't even make sense! |
| 74771 You treacherous swine! You told me I was the only one! |
| 74772 You are, my darling. How could you think otherwise? |
| 74773 I knew it! Bad enough you steal my daughter's honor, but to see her special day spoiled by so dire a revelation? No church can heal the wounds you've inflicted, Colin Forthwith! Only your blood can satisfy my honor! |
| 74774 But I didn't do anything! |
| 74775 Sorry, Colin. We both knew it could only end badly. |
| 74776 Who are you? Who interrupts my daughter's wedding? |
| 74777 Tell him who we are, Colin! Tell him we're lovers! |
| 74778 My name is <CHARNAME>, but Bollard Firejaw can call me Death. |
| 74779 I'm <CHARNAME>, but my friend Dorn here is the one you should really be concerned with. |
| 74780 I swear to Torm, I've never seen this man in my life! |
| 74781 Oh, you treacherous deceiver. How could I have given my heart to you? |
| 74782 Wait, you're not Colinâ€â€not my Colin. I'm sorry, I've made a terrible mistake. |
| 74783 This joke ceases to amuse. Let's kill some people. |
| 74784 Too much talking, not enough slaughter! |
| 74785 I'm with the half-orc. I've an axe, these fine churchgoin' folk got skulls, what're we waiting for? |
| 74786 You'll pay for this blasphemy! |
| 74787 Who are you? Whose vile presence befouls this house of Torm? |
| 74788 My name is <CHARNAME>, and my presence is the least of the things I'll befoul Torm's house with this day. |
| 74789 My name will be of little use where you're going. |
| 74790 How dare you turn a temple of the Radiant Heart into a scene of chaos and carnage? |
| 74791 How do I dare? Reluctantly. But effectively, you must admit. |
| 74792 Oh, please. Like no blood's been shed in Torm's name before. |
| 74793 Enthusiastically! Let me show you. |
| 74794 Let your blood be added to it, foul one! |
| 74795 Bollard Firejaw! Come and meet your doom! |
| 74796 Foul despoiler! You think I fear the likes of you? |
| 74797 Your feelings on the matter are of no consequence. All that matters is that you die in the name of my master, Ur-Gothoz! |
| 74798 Everyone stand aside. Give me room to teach this blackguard the folly of crossing the Radiant Heart. |
| 74799 Treacherous half-orc! Your perfidy is boundless! |
| 74800 Your blasphemy cannot go unanswered. For Torm! |
| 74801 Show me what you've got. Those who stand for Torm need fear no evil. |
| 74802 Kill them all! None must live to tell of our deeds. |
| 74803 What, a dead priest's not enough for you? |
| 74804 Dorn's right. If people find out what we've been party to, we're done for. It's not like they'll give a drow the benefit of any doubt. |
| 74805 Of course they gotta die. Got any other shocking plot twists you wanna share, or can I get to work? |
| 74806 The half-orc makes my skin crawl, but it's got a point. |
| 74807 You know what our father would do, <CHARNAME>. |
| 74808 I am my own <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I do as I please. |
| 74809 Take a moment and think, <CHARNAME>. What would Gorion say about this pointless bloodshed? |
| 74810 If he were alive, I'd never hear the end of it. As it is, not much. |
| 74811 I'll be sure to ask him next time we meet. |
| 74812 No more half measures, <CHARNAME>. |
| 74813 No, please! Spare us! I swear we'll tell no one! |
| 74814 I'm reminded of another, similar slaughter, Dorn. Can I expect you to betray us as you were betrayed by Simmeon? |
| 74815 Sheath your sword, Dorn. These people have suffered enough for one day and know the fate awaiting them if they expose us. |
| 74816 It's your slaughter, Dorn. Finish it if you must; I won't stop you. |
| 74817 Feel free to tell Kelemvor whatever you wish. |
| 74818 Boo says it's rude to diminish a bride's radiance on her wedding day. |
| 74819 Have it your way, <CHARNAME>. I've done what I came here to do. |
| 74820 Everyone out! But know that bloody vengeance will fall upon those who speak of what's occurred here this day. |
| 74821 You've no need to fear me, <CHARNAME>, at least for as long as you're of use. |
| 74822 Then I hope I continue to be of use well into the future. Let me prove myself now. |
| 74823 Comforting words, coming from such as you. |
| 74824 I feel exactly the same way about you. |
| 74825 They're as comforting as any you'll get from me, Bhaalspawn. |
| 74826 We make a good pair, <CHARNAME>. These others are weak, but you understand the nature of power. |
| 74827 It thrills me as it does you. |
| 74828 I understand the desire to possess it. |
| 74829 These others are useful, in their own way. Your single-mindedness is understandable, but subtlety has its uses. |
| 74830 Subtlety's for games. A sharp blade'll take ye farther in the real world. Hell, even a dull club'd serve you better. |
| 74831 Are you mad, <CHARNAME>? Their tongues will wag like tickled dogs' tails the moment we leave. There's only one way to ensure their silence. |
| 74832 Bollard Firejaw is dead. You've done your duty. Let's be away from here before word gets out of what's occurred. |
| 74833 Let them talk. The legend of Dorn Il-Khan's power will grow. But for now, we should take our leaveâ€â€it won't be long before someone raises the alarm. |
| 74834 The truth. There's something I never expected to hear from the mouth of Dorn Il-Khan. You're right, of course. While they live, these people are a threat, and that, I cannot abide. |
| 74835 You're wrong, <CHARNAME>. Now let me do what must be done or better still, help me do it. |
| 74836 Go ahead. I've done my piece. |
| 74837 Go ahead. I always enjoy watching you work. |
| 74838 Very well. I can't let you have all the fun. |
| 74839 You keep your subtlety, <CHARNAME>. I'll put my faith in my sword. |
| 74840 Rest your weary bones, <CHARNAME>. The strong and able-bodied will finish up here. |
| 74841 Then you shall find the next few minutes enjoyable indeed! |
| 74842 These wretches shall fall before us like wheat beneath a scythe! |
| 74843 You tell it true, <CHARNAME>. Hear my words, you pathetic scum! I spare your lives that you may spread word of this day. When anyone asks you of it, you'll tell them fortune smiled upon you: You encountered Dorn Il-Khan and lived to tell the tale. |
| 74844 Perhaps you're right, <PRO_RACE>. My work is done. Let us take our leave. |
| 74845 I think I preferred the last wedding I went to. I need to sit down for a minute. Oh, gross, there was blood there! |
| 74846 Cheap swine. Y'call those wedding gifts? I wouldn't give them to a dog, much less a family member. Well, maybe one of my family members. Buncha bastards that they are. |
| 74847 Well, that was some enjoyable sport. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. |
| 74848 Spoken like someone who's never actually experienced the myriad charms of barrel'd monkeys. |
| 74849 What say you, <CHARNAME>? Satisfied with the day's rewards? |
| 74850 Chaos, bloodshed, and plunder. What's not to love? |
| 74851 Truth be told, I could be more satisfied. But I'll take what I can. |
| 74852 My reward is the screams of the dying. Everything else is dessert. |
| 74853 Don't be gross, <CHARNAME>! |
| 74854 Our bloody work is done. The city guards will doubtless hear of this soon. Let us make haste, lest we risk discovery. |
| 74855 I'm afraid this is where we part ways, Dorn Il-Khan. You've got some issues to work out, and frankly I'd rather not be around to watch you do so. |
| 74856 Now he wants to make haste. Oh well, better late than never. Come on, you big lug. Let's go find somewhere we can lurk menacingly in peace. |
| 74857 Come with us. We could use someone with your talents. |
| 74858 And why not? It's not as though this lot could smell worse. |
| 74859 Are you sure that's a good idea, <CHARNAME>? You know he'd as soon kill us as work with us. No offense. |
| 74860 Bringin' the half-orc in? That's some sound whadd'yercallit tactics, right there. Good thinkin', <CHARNAME>. Just make sure to send him into battle first. |
| 74861 Our combined skills would make us a force to be reckoned with... |
| 74862 Now you're talking. Let's hit the cobblestones before the guards arrive. |
| 74863 United, there's no limit to what we may accomplish. |
| 74864 Just remember, you're the one who serves Ur-Gothoz. If your master's desires cross mine, there'll be trouble. |
| 74865 <CHARNAME> and Dorn Il-Khan. We shall carve our names on the flesh of history. |
| 74866 That was disgusting. |
| 74867 I've no love for Ur-Gothozâ€â€just the power he can supply. |
| 74868 So long as we understand one another. Now, let us go. |
| 74869 <CHARNAME>. I would have a word with you. |
| 74870 In private. |
| 74871 Of course, Dorn. Always happy to talk with my favorite half-orc. |
| 74872 If you must. What is it? |
| 74873 Not right now, Dorn. I've other matters to attend to. |
| 74874 My patron, Ur-Gothoz, compels me to act once again. |
| 74875 I'm sorry to hear that, but I can't help you right now. Ask again later. |
| 74876 Again? Didn't we slaughter a priest just last week? |
| 74877 What does he want of you this time? |
| 74878 He demands another deathâ€â€a paladin of Helm, named Terpfen. |
| 74879 Sounds straightforward enough. |
| 74880 I guess someone named Terpfen's about to have a bad day. Then again, with a name like that, I don't imagine they've had many good days. |
| 74881 And you're telling me this because...? |
| 74882 I've checked around, and this Terpfen isn't at the temple of Helm. |
| 74883 Ah. That does rather complicate matters, doesn't it? Do you know where he is? |
| 74884 I know who knows where he is. |
| 74885 Please tell me you know where that person is... |
| 74886 His name's Guardian Telwyn, a paladin at the temple. |
| 74887 We should pay this Telwyn a visit. |
| 74888 At least there's one paladin that knows his place. And as for Terpfen... we'll put him in his in due course. |
| 74889 And you want my assistance in loosening this paladin's tongue. |
| 74890 I could do it myself, of course. But after Firejaw's assassination, it seemed like the kind of thing you might enjoy. |
| 74891 You presume too much, Dorn. Visiting a temple with you lost what little luster it had after what happened last time. |
| 74892 Why Dorn, I didn't know you cared. |
| 74893 Spilling a paladin's blood does sound like an enjoyable distraction. Let's go pay our respects to Helm. |
| 74894 I thought you shared my taste for blood and glory. |
| 74895 What you call glory, I call infamy, and I've more of that than any reasonable <PRO_RACE> could want at this point. |
| 74896 My taste is for life and luxury. Blood and glory are but tools for me, not ends in themselves. |
| 74897 I do. And soon we'll gorge ourselves upon them. |
| 74898 Telwyn stands sentry in Helm's temple every night. We could go tonight. |
| 74899 Very well. |
| 74900 You and I share the same passions. These dogs you surround yourself with are naught but pawns in the great game of life and death we play. |
| 74901 And what am I, then? The queen or the king? The servant or the <PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>? |
| 74902 You are my equal. There is no higher rank one can attain. |
| 74903 You insult and flatter in a single breath. Very well, then. We face this Telwyn as equals. Where, and when? |
| 74904 You keep telling yourself that, Dorn. I'm sure it helps you sleep at night. |
| 74905 You dare mock me, <PRO_RACE>? I'll cut out your tongue and use it to shine my boots! |
| 74906 First the Radiant Heart, now a temple of Helm. I haven't been to a temple this often since... Well, I don't really count that small one back in Candlekeep. |
| 74907 If all goes well, we won't be here long. |
| 74908 That's Telwyn over there. |
| 74909 All right. Let me do the talking. |
| 74910 Put the sword back in the sheathe, big boy. |
| 74911 Let's go put the fear of us in this Everwatch Knight. |
| 74912 My blade thirsts for Everwatch Knight blood! |
| 74913 A dead knight won't tell us where Terpfen is. |
| 74914 I know some necromancers who would disagree. |
| 74915 I wasn't going to kill him. Yet. Just scare him. Loosen his tongue. Perhaps you're rubbing off on me. |
| 74916 There are other ways to loosen a man's tongue. Ways that may not involve him summoning his fellow knights to defend his honor. |
| 74917 Bring 'em on, I say. They're just a buncha lice-ridden Helm polishers. |
| 74918 Nice. |
| 74919 What do you suggest? |
| 74920 Something slightly more nuanced. I'm going to ask him if he knows where Terpfen can be found. |
| 74921 Something sneaky. If that doesn't work, well, Rancor's still there if we need her. |
| 74922 I'm going to check this Telwyn out. See what makes him tick. Then... we'll see. |
| 74923 In my experience, most people don't tick. Most only drip, and even that's sporadic. Actually, now that I think of it, I did know an elf that ticked once. Great guy, would've gone far if not for his speech impediment. |
| 74924 I prefer the direct approach. |
| 74925 I prefer the effective approach. Let's try it my way and see what happens. |
| 74926 You know this as well as I. |
| 74927 You believe deceit is beneath beings of true power? |
| 74928 As do I. But our preferences are secondary to our needs. |
| 74929 I do. But beings of true power do not bow to distant masters. |
| 74930 You dare insult me? |
| 74931 I'm just giving you something to consider. You are not your own, Dorn Il-Khan. But stick with me, and that might change. |
| 74932 I see in you a kindred spirit. |
| 74933 Trust what you see. |
| 74934 He's a man. Stab him and he bleeds. What more do you need to know? |
| 74935 Where to find Terpfen, for one. Hang back, and let me do the talking. |
| 74936 Who goes there? Identify yourself! |
| 74937 My name is unimportant. For the moment, the only thing that matters is what you tell us in the next three minutesâ€â€which may be the last three minutes of your life. |
| 74938 Are you threatening me? |
| 74939 Tell us what we want to know and you've naught to fear from us. |
| 74940 Why yes, I am. If you've got a problem with that, I'm afraid you're going to have to live with it. How long you have to live with it is entirely your choice. |
| 74941 I don't make threats. I don't need to make threats, not when I've got friends like Dorn here. Isn't that right, Dorn? |
| 74942 Hrm. |
| 74943 What is this? Who are you? |
| 74944 Friends of a friend. Guardian Terpfen. We need to find him. I understand you're the man to talk to about that. |
| 74945 Terpfen? What do you want with him? |
| 74946 We're going to give him a hundred gold pieces and the deed for a small barony in eastern Tethyr. What do you think we're going to do to him, idiot? |
| 74947 You don't want to know. And I really don't want to show you. And you really, really don't want me to show you. So why don't you just tell us where he is, and we'll be on our way? |
| 74948 Don't worry. We'll kill him quickly. You, on the other hand, will die after an horrifically extended period of prolonged agony if you don't tell us what we want to know. NOW. |
| 74949 There's no need to be rude. |
| 74950 No, but it is fun. |
| 74951 I'm sorry. Piousness just... brings that out in me. It's a weakness. |
| 74952 No, there's a need to be concise and to the point. You bring the concise. Dorn's blade can handle the point. Where is Terpfen? |
| 74953 We'll see how you enjoy dancing on the end of my blade! |
| 74954 All right, your point is made. I'll tell you what you want to know. |
| 74955 Terpfen was assigned to escort a priest of Tyr to Trademeet a week ago. The priest received an omen and halted their progress, insisting on setting up a camp a day or two south of the city. |
| 74956 Thank you for your assistance, Telwyn. You've been very helpful. Dorn, let's go. |
| 74957 You'll find I'm a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of my word. Once you swear on your honor as a paladin of Helm this conversation will remain a private matter, I'll leave you in peace. |
| 74958 Your assistance has been invaluable, Telwyn. My associate here will ensure that remains the case. |
| 74959 Is this some jest, <CHARNAME>? You can't mean to leave this scuff-kneed wretch alive? |
| 74960 He's given us everything we need. Further bloodshed will only complicate matters. |
| 74961 You're right. If there's one thing I cannot, it's loose ends. "Can knot." Get it? Oh, lighten up, Dorn. We've got what we came here for, and now you get to kill an Everwatch Knight in the bargain! |
| 74962 Thanks a lot, Dorn. Now you've gone and spoiled my surprise. |
| 74963 I don't mind such... complications. But we'll do as you wish, for now. |
| 74964 Make peace with your worthless god, Everwatch Knight, for soon you shall meet him face to face! |
| 74965 I'm not telling you anything. |
| 74966 Oh, don't be that way, please. I despise bloodshed. |
| 74967 Your devotion to silence won't be nearly so noble after I cut your tongue from your mouth. Tell me what I wish to know! |
| 74968 I don't want you to tell me. I want you to tell him. Dorn...? |
| 74969 On my honor as Helm's loyal servant, I swear I'll tell no one! |
| 74970 Excellent. Fare you well, Guardian Telwyn. |
| 74971 Are you threatening me? |
| 74972 Maybe a little. Is it working? |
| 74973 Do you feel threatened? |
| 74974 Merely stating a series of facts it would do you well to be aware of. Now, where can we find Guardian Terpfen? |
| 74975 You should. |
| 74976 He's right. You should. Now if you'd be so kind as to tell us where we may find Guardian Terpfen, we'll be on our way. |
| 74977 I am a paladin of Helm. I have no fear of the likes of you. |
| 74978 Any day you learn something new is a good day. You, my friend, are about to learn the error of your ways. Unless you tell us what we want to know, of course. |
| 74979 All right then. I guess we do this the hard way. |
| 74980 Mercy! I'll tell you what you wish to know. |
| 74981 See? Who said Everwatch Knights were unreasonable? I seek Guardian Terpfen. Where is he? |
| 74982 Mercy, I beg of you! I'll tell you anything you want, just spare my life. |
| 74983 I said I despised bloodshed, and you still went and made us shed blood. I'd kill you for that if I didn't need to know where to find Terpfen. |
| 74984 You did hear me say I despise bloodshed, right? And yet you go and make us shed blood. It's just rude. |
| 74985 Forgive me, please. I just sought to protect my fellow knight. |
| 74986 An admirable position. All right, I'll forgive this lapse of etiquette if you tell me where we can find Terpfen. |
| 74987 I understand your position. But if there's one thing I cannot abide, it's rudeness. |
| 74988 Stay your hand, <CHARNAME>. We need him alive. At least long enough to reveal Terpfen's location. |
| 74989 Right! Terpfen. I'd almost forgot. Start talking, knight. |
| 74990 The blackguard tells me to stay my hand? Really? |
| 74991 We are here to get Terpfen's location. Once we have that, I'll gladly watch you slit this worm's throatâ€â€I'll even give you a blade with which to do the deed. |
| 74992 I don't think worms have throats, but I get your point. Start talking, Telwyn. Where can we find Terpfen? |
| 74993 A pleasure delayed is a pleasure enhanced, and killing this insect will be a pleasure. â€â€Insect! I believe you were telling us where we can find Terpfen. |
| 74994 The Abyss take Terpfen! I want this knight's blood! |
| 74995 You think I don't? But Ur-Gothoz must be obeyed. |
| 74996 And you're happy with that arrangement? |
| 74997 Your weakness disgusts me, Dorn. But we'll play it your way... for now. Telwyn! Where is Guardian Terpfen? |
| 74998 Ur-Gothoz gives me what I need... for now. He will feel Rancor's kiss someday, this I swear. But for the moment, I must do as he commands. |
| 74999 I see a future where Dorn Il-Khan and <CHARNAME> do as they will, unfettered by the desires of others. |
| 75000 That day will come. |
| 75001 Pray to whatever god still hears your voice I don't lose patience before it does. Guardian Telwyn, I believe you were telling us where to find your colleague, Terpfen? |
| 75002 Who goes there? Identify yourself! |
| 75003 My name is <CHARNAME>. And you are Guardian Telwyn, are you not? |
| 75004 My name is <CHARNAME>. Are you Guardian Telwyn? |
| 75005 Oh, forget this. |
| 75006 Ah! What is the meaning of this? |
| 75007 You know something I want to know, Guardian Telwyn. Tell me, where can I find the Everwatch Knight Terpfen? |
| 75008 I am. What can I do for you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 75009 I seek another Everwatch Knight, a man named Terpfen. You know him? |
| 75010 I do. Unfortunately, Terpfen isn't here at the moment. |
| 75011 That is unfortunate. My business with him is rather urgent. Do you know where I can find him? |
| 75012 I'd be happy to deliver a message to him myself, once he returns. |
| 75013 I'd be happy to deliver a message to him myself, once he returns. |
| 75014 I'm afraid this sort of thing is best handled face-to-face. Where is he now? |
| 75015 What is the nature of your business with Terpfen? |
| 75016 It's a family matter. I really can speak of it only to him. You understand. |
| 75017 It's a sensitive business matter. I can really only speak of it to him. You understand. |
| 75018 We're going to kill him. |
| 75019 Terpfen was assigned to escort a priest of Tyr to Trademeet a week ago. The priest received an omen and halted their progress, insisting on setting up a camp a day or two south of the city. |
| 75020 Thank you for your assistance, Telwyn. You've been very helpful. Dorn, let's go. |
| 75021 Your assistance has been invaluable, Telwyn. My associate here will ensure that remains the case. |
| 75022 A business matter, you say? How much is finding Terpfen worth to you? |
| 75023 How much is telling us worth to you? |
| 75024 More than your miserable life. |
| 75025 I'd think something like that could easily be worth... 10 gold pieces. |
| 75026 Easily. |
| 75027 I thought you were a paladin of Helm, not Waukeen. Very well, 10 gold pieces. Now where is he? |
| 75028 10 gold pieces is not unreasonable. But let me make you a counteroffer... |
| 75029 Is this some sort of ill-considered jest? Because I'm not amused. |
| 75030 Haha, yes, of course I'm joking. |
| 75031 You Everwatch Knights, you never can see the lighter side of things. Here, let me help you put things in perspective. |
| 75032 Dorn, am I joking? |
| 75033 Ah! |
| 75034 See how funny my joke is? If you don't want to be the punchline, start talking. Where is Terpfen? |
| 75035 Didn't things look brighter when only Terpfen's life was in peril? There's a lesson there, Telwyn. Appreciate what you've got, because it can be taken away at any moment. Now tell me, where can I find your colleague? |
| 75036 You are not. |
| 75037 I am not. Now where can we find Terpfen? |
| 75038 I'll not betray a fellow knight to the likes of you. |
| 75039 I'm sorry to hear that. |
| 75040 I respect that. I truly do. Unfortunately, I really need to find Terpfen, so... |
| 75041 I bet you will. My life against yours, what do you say? |
| 75042 A losing wager, villain! |
| 75043 Mercy! Please! I'll do anything, justâ€â€please, spare my life! |
| 75044 Guardian Terpfen. Where can I find him? |
| 75045 <losing battle> |
| 75046 You shouldn't have taken that bet, Telwyn. Now you have what I call a serious gambling problem. Life-threatening, even. |
| 75047 I am attacked! Brothers, help me! |
| 75048 Who goes there? |
| 75049 Good day to you. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 75050 Well met, <CHARNAME>. I am Tennek. What can I do for you? |
| 75051 I ask nothing more than you've already given. In these troubled times, a simple pleasant greeting is a rare treasure. |
| 75052 That depends. There's a few items I could use on my journey: If you or your colleagues have them, there's much we could discuss. |
| 75053 You can die quickly and with minimal struggle. |
| 75054 If you're making a joke, <CHARNAME>, I should warn you I'm not amused. |
| 75055 I leave the jokes to jesters. Slaughter's more my style. |
| 75056 Then have at you, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 75057 What you say is all too true. I know not where you go, but I hope your journey is quick and safe. |
| 75058 Thank you for that, Tennek. Farewell. |
| 75059 What are you looking for? |
| 75060 Let's see what you have. |
| 75061 I am Dorn Il-Khan! I seek the Everwatch dog Terpfen! |
| 75062 Forgive my friend. He's suffered many blows to the head and frequently mixes up words like "dog" and "knight." |
| 75063 And then there's the direct approach. |
| 75064 There is only one approach here, and it is mine. |
| 75065 Send him to me now, and you may yet live to see another day! |
| 75066 Hey, Terpfen! You have visitors! |
| 75067 I'm Terpfen. What's your business here? |
| 75068 Beware, Terpfen. Tyr's omen warned me of this vile half-orc's coming. |
| 75069 So you had us stop the caravan so it could catch us? There's a good strategy. |
| 75070 Tyr will not suffer this monster to live. We but waited for the opportunity to end it for all time. |
| 75071 Well hey, thanks for keeping the rest of us in the loop. |
| 75072 Cut him some slack. I'm sure he just didn't want you to worry. |
| 75073 Priests trade in hidden knowledge. Faulting one for keeping secrets? You may as well curse the wind for blowing. |
| 75074 Perhaps you'll find some solace knowing you died well informed. |
| 75075 An 'alf-orc blackguard is apparently stalking my caravan. That's something worth worrying about. |
| 75076 Good point. |
| 75077 Such casual blasphemy dishonors Tyr and Helm alike! Terpfen! Dispatch them all! |
| 75078 I've another point for you at the end of my sword if you're still here in the next fifteen seconds. |
| 75079 Unbelievable! You'd allow this abomination to escape justice? |
| 75080 Justice is Tyr's dominion, Hokkney. The followers of Helm stand on guard, not in judgment. Well, blackguard, what's it to be? |
| 75081 My orders are to protect you, Hokkney. I'm not your servant, nor am I an assassin. You lot, begone before I lose my patience. |
| 75082 In the name of my master, Ur-Gothoz, you will all die. |
| 75083 All of them? I thought we were here for Terpfen? |
| 75084 All must perish. Ur-Gothoz has altered my mission, and if you stand in my way, you should pray he does not alter it further. |
| 75085 Ur-Gothoz's whims are distressingly capricious. Is the power he supplies truly worth the effort he demands? |
| 75086 Oh well, if Ur-Gothoz commands it, we must obey Ur-Gothoz, mustn't we? |
| 75087 Don't lie to me, Dorn Il-Khan. Ur-Gothoz may demand their death, but you and I both enjoy a good slaughter. |
| 75088 You tell me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75089 You would mock my master, <CHARNAME>? We'll have words on this when the battle's done. |
| 75090 You know me well, <CHARNAME>, though I'd have you know me better still. |
| 75091 <CHARNAME>. Before the battle, you asked if the power Ur-Gothoz grants me is worth all that he orders me to do. |
| 75092 I did. |
| 75093 I have no answer to that, at least none I find satisfactory. |
| 75094 And the unsatisfactory answer? |
| 75095 You have much to consider, I think. |
| 75096 At first, service to Ur-Gothoz seemed worthwhile, at least some of the time. But recently... |
| 75097 Yes? |
| 75098 Bollard Firejaw was not the first man I was sent to kill without explanation. Nor will Terpfen be the last, I suspect. |
| 75099 I can only imagine how it feels to be bound in servitude. |
| 75100 Being bound in servitude must rankle. |
| 75101 You're becoming a tool rather than the champion you are meant to be. |
| 75102 You alone understand me. |
| 75103 Ur-Gothoz is just an obstacle, Dorn. Even he cannot stand against the two of us. |
| 75104 I hope you're right, <CHARNAME>. For both our sakes. |
| 75105 Much to consider. More to overcome. |
| 75106 Don't patronize me, <CHARNAME>. You know nothing of my burden. |
| 75107 Then share it with me. |
| 75108 That's your choice, Dorn. No one's making you carry the burden alone. |
| 75109 And care nothing for it, either. |
| 75110 Pretty words, but hollow ones. I will deal with Ur-Gothoz. I and I alone. |
| 75111 If that is your wish, don't let me stand in your way. |
| 75112 I am Dorn Il-Khan. No one stands in my way. |
| 75113 No one but yourself. |
| 75114 No. The strong stand alone. |
| 75115 And the wise know two are stronger than one. |
| 75116 We must talk, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75117 Before the battle, you mocked Ur-Gothoz. |
| 75118 Ah, you noticed that, did you? Well observed. |
| 75119 Your service to that demon is your weakness, Dorn. It would rankle me to see you bound in service to anyone, never mind one as erratic as this Ur-Gothoz. |
| 75120 You think me weak for serving him? |
| 75121 I do. |
| 75122 I think you weakened, Dorn. Never weak. |
| 75123 You think you aren't? |
| 75124 Now you mock me? |
| 75125 Not at all. I merely asked a question. |
| 75126 I mock the servant of Ur-Gothoz. Are you he? |
| 75127 You know I am. |
| 75128 Then stop your incessant sulking and do something about it. |
| 75129 When I look at you, I don't see a servant. I see Dorn Il-Khan. A warrior. Not some demon's errand boy. |
| 75130 That's unfortunate. Once I thought you were so much more, but I see now that I was mistaken. |
| 75131 Watch your tongue, <PRO_RACE>. You don't want to cross me regardless of whom I serve. |
| 75132 Forgive me, Dorn. I intended no harm. |
| 75133 No one tells me what I want, Il-Khan. Unlike you, I do as I will. |
| 75134 You watch my tongue, Dorn. You'd be surprised what it can accomplish. |
| 75135 It'll take more than words to harm me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75136 If anyone else said that to me, I'd cut them down where they stand. You're lucky I still have use for you. |
| 75137 Beshaba's favorite <PRO_SONDAUGHTER>, that's me. |
| 75138 I might at that. |
| 75139 Someday you'll have to tell me what they are. Someday. |
| 75140 I cannot deny there's something to what you say. |
| 75141 Only a fool would try. |
| 75142 Hah! A good day's work. Ur-Gothoz will be pleased. |
| 75143 I'm happy for him. |
| 75144 And you, Dorn Il-Khan? Are you pleased? |
| 75145 Ur-Gothoz means nothing to me. Would that you could say the same. |
| 75146 Of course! There's nothing more refreshing than bathing in the blood of your enemies. |
| 75147 Terpfen wasn't your enemy. Just your target. |
| 75148 Terpfen was no enemy of yoursâ€â€not until Ur-Gothoz got involved. |
| 75149 I'm with you. There's nothing like a good massacre to brighten one's day. |
| 75150 My target is my enemy, at least so long as he still breathes. |
| 75151 Would that I could be blasé about serving the whims of another. |
| 75152 No one's going to accuse Terpfen of doing that any time soon. |
| 75153 What are you suggesting? |
| 75154 What I'm suggesting, my dear Dorn, is that your service to Ur-Gothoz does a disservice to you. |
| 75155 Me? Not a thing. Far be it from me to criticize the Great and Powerful Ur-Gothoz. |
| 75156 If you don't know what I'm suggesting, you deserve your miserable fate. |
| 75157 You mock me? |
| 75158 I mock the servant of Ur-Gothoz. Are you he? |
| 75159 Who are you to pass judgment on me? |
| 75160 I'm not judging. Merely making an observation. One you'd do well to consider. |
| 75161 Dorn Il-Khan! The time has come to pay the price for your perfidy! |
| 75162 Yeesh! Who writes your dialogue? Baeloth? |
| 75163 Surrender yourself now and your death will be swift and merciful! |
| 75164 And who, exactly, are you, O merciful one? |
| 75165 Slow down there, chum. We're all civilized people here. What exactly are you accusing us of? |
| 75166 Hey, Dorn. What do you say to a swift and merciful death? |
| 75167 Hrmm... I appreciate the offer. Allow me to reciprocate! |
| 75168 This doesn't concern you. Our business is with that blackguard. |
| 75169 I'm afraid that makes it my concern. Seriously, you guys frighten me. But Dorn's a friend, and I won't abandon him. |
| 75170 That makes it my business. Who are you? |
| 75171 Your business was with the blackguard. Now you're dealing with me. |
| 75172 We only inspire fear in the hearts of those who would obstruct the justice of Tyr. You are a fool to side with this creature! |
| 75173 And you are very observant! |
| 75174 I've been called worse by better. Who are you? |
| 75175 Words are worthless. Draw your sword and let's get this over with. |
| 75176 I am Traggor, of the Hammers of Grimjaws. |
| 75177 Hrmm. The most elite of Tyr's paladins. I see they brought some clerics with them as well. It would seem that I am quite popular with their god. |
| 75178 It's been nice knowing you, Dorn. |
| 75179 Where's your precious Ur-Gothoz now, Dorn? |
| 75180 *sigh* In for a chicken, in for a henhouse. Come and get the half-orc, Traggorâ€â€if you've got the stones! |
| 75181 Nowhere he can help me against such fighters as these. |
| 75182 As you wish. |
| 75183 Hammersâ€â€crush them! |
| 75184 I should have expected something like this. These Hammers are but the beginning. Ur-Gothoz's missions have made a target out of me. |
| 75185 I knew that guy was bad news. |
| 75186 We're not dead yet. |
| 75187 The servant pays for the master's crimes. At last you see your folly. |
| 75188 I should have known better than to trust Ur-Gothoz after Simmeon's betrayal. A lesson learned too late. |
| 75189 Perhaps, perhaps not. |
| 75190 As Gorion used to say, "Any day you learn something new is a good day." Though I fear we're about to put that to the test... |
| 75191 Just make sure you remember the lesson after we've festooned the trees with the Hammers' intestines. |
| 75192 Last chance. Give us the blackguard or share his fate. |
| 75193 The only thing I'm giving you is a shallow, unmarked grave. |
| 75194 Dorn wouldn't share his dessert, never mind his fate. No, I'm afraid you'll have to return from wherever you came empty-handed, or not at all. |
| 75195 Take him. The half-orc is nothing to me. |
| 75196 That's your final word on the matter? |
| 75197 It is. |
| 75198 No, my final word is "pedantic." Or maybe "kaleidoscopic." Which would you prefer? |
| 75199 Your sad attempt at wit only delays the inevitable. |
| 75200 You can't fault me for that. The inevitable's looking pretty Grimjaws at the moment. Eh? Ehhhh? |
| 75201 I hope your sword's as sharp as your tongue, Traggor. You're going to need it. |
| 75202 Enough talk. Surrender the blackguard! |
| 75203 Well, I had to try. Perhaps you'll find my weapons more convincing than my words. |
| 75204 I'm sorry, Dorn. You've been a great help to me, but not so great I'm willing to sacrifice my life for you. A medium-level help, if you will. |
| 75205 I'll stop talking when you start talking sense. I've already told you, the half-orc's under my protection. |
| 75206 You presume too much, <PRO_RACE>. Dorn Il-Khan needs no protection. |
| 75207 So be it. If that's the way you feel, the Hammers can have you. |
| 75208 I count one, two, three, four... five paladins who say otherwise. |
| 75209 I count one, two... seven... and... Well, the exact math doesn't matter. There's a pack of paladins here who say otherwise! |
| 75210 I would never presume to tell you what you need, Dorn. Nevertheless, you have my protection, and you may be glad of it before this is over. |
| 75211 I might at that. |
| 75212 Let's show these knights of Tyr the folly of their ways. |
| 75213 I will deliver your worthless hide to Ur-Gothoz myself, <CHARNAME>! |
| 75214 Hammersâ€â€crush him! |
| 75215 The half-orc is dead. Our quarrel isn't with you, <PRO_RACE>. Walk away now and live to see another day. |
| 75216 I'm not sure I'd like to see another day like this one, but I'm willing to find out. |
| 75217 Tell you what: I'll stay where I am and let you walk away. |
| 75218 When I walk away from this place, it'll be over your corpses. |
| 75219 So be it! |
| 75220 Pray to whatever god you worship you never cross our paths again, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 75221 Die where you stand, villain! |
| 75222 This isn't over, Dorn. The Hammers are defeated, but they were but the first. Other avengers of Tyr, Torm, and even Helm will surely follow, hounding you all the days of your life. The gods have very long memories. |
| 75223 Ah! Curse Ur-Gothoz, curse the day I first heard his name, and curse me for not fleeing the moment it fouled my ears! I've followed his orders come hell, horror, and high water, and for what? |
| 75224 Don't stress about it, Dorn. I'm sure you'll find a way to get out from under his thumb. Now, we were talking about something before we ran into those guys... oh yeah! So that w |
| 75225 What sorcery is this? |
| 75226 My least favorite kind: mysterious. Could Ur-Gothoz be behind this? |
| 75227 Thanks, Dorn. Nice to know how great a torment you find my company. |
| 75228 For good or ill, I suspect we'll find out soon. |
| 75229 No. In fact... I cannot feel him at all. Our connection is severed. |
| 75230 That's good news, surely? |
| 75231 Perhaps, but what use is freedom in a world of statues? |
| 75232 You and I belong in battle, surrounded by the clamor of steel on steel, not in some timeless place shrouded in silence deeper than any tomb's. |
| 75233 Perhaps you feel that way, but I, for one, am glad to have a peaceful moment to catch my breath. |
| 75234 You're right. This world of lifeless statues is a poor fit for those who live for excitement. |
| 75235 Then you are a fool, <CHARNAME>. How can you rest without knowing who did this or what they intend? |
| 75236 It's a gift. |
| 75237 Dorn Il-Khan. I would have words with you. |
| 75238 You know my name? |
| 75239 Your name and so much more. |
| 75240 I'm not liking the sound of that. |
| 75241 You have us at a disadvantage, m'lady. And you are? |
| 75242 Silence, <PRO_RACE>! My business is with the half-orc. |
| 75243 Shutting up, ma'am. |
| 75244 Who are you who dare to issue orders to me? |
| 75245 Mind your tone, witch. Your power is obvious, but I will drop you. |
| 75246 Stay your hand, <CHARNAME>. I would know who it is who demands my attention. |
| 75247 Show some spine, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75248 And turn my back on someone like her? Strategy never was your strong suit, Dorn. |
| 75249 I've got a feeling any spine I showed would quickly be torn from my body. Best to let the lady talk. |
| 75250 Strong words, coming from Ur-Gothoz's puppet. |
| 75251 I need no strategy to still your impudent tongue |
| 75252 Cease your bickering! My time with you is limited. |
| 75253 I'll have your head for that |
| 75254 I am Azothet. |
| 75255 I am <CHARNAME>. Dorn you already know, apparently. |
| 75256 I bet that's not all you're called. |
| 75257 What is your business with Dorn, Azothet? |
| 75258 I swear, <CHARNAME>, if you don't cease your prattling, I'll sew your mouth shut. |
| 75259 Dorn, sewing! I'd like to see that. Fine, I'll pipe down. |
| 75260 I have many names. |
| 75261 All the really powerful and delusionally grandiose magicians do. |
| 75262 I'll bet. |
| 75263 But you shall know me as Azothet. |
| 75264 Not exactly what I was getting at, but proceed. |
| 75265 Ur-Gothoz's ears have been cut off for the moment. The demon cannot hear what we will discuss. I come to you with an offer, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 75266 What could you have that would possibly be of interest to me? |
| 75267 Seriously? I mean... really? |
| 75268 Just a suggestion, Dorn, but maybe consider speaking to the scary woman in a slightly more civil tone? |
| 75269 Power. Why else go to such extreme lengths to contact you? |
| 75270 I'll speak my piece in whatever tone I choose, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 75271 I'll send flowers to your funeral. |
| 75272 I offer power. And so much more. |
| 75274 What could matter more than power? |
| 75275 A prize greater than any other: freedom from your patron. No longer would you be beholden to the glabrezu's whims. |
| 75276 I know you are bound to Ur-Gothoz, a fickle master with no regard for those who serve him. And I know you yearn to be free of his yoke. You have my sympathies. |
| 75277 Sympathy? You waste your energy and my time. Give me something useful or begone. |
| 75278 I cannot free you from him directly. That is beyond even my power. But there is a way. |
| 75279 Tell me more. |
| 75280 If you would be free of Ur-Gothoz's taint, you must travel to Resurrection Gorge. There, you shall find a great tree. Within its cracked bole lies a circle of summoning, already prepared to bring forth and capture Ur-Gothoz. |
| 75281 Convenient. |
| 75282 That's a long way to go on a strange witch's word. |
| 75283 You claim this circle can capture Ur-Gothoz. Why hasn't it been used already? |
| 75284 The Great Druid who drew the circle was slain before he could use it. |
| 75285 In truth, the circle was designed not for Ur-Gothoz, though it shall hold him all the same. |
| 75286 You have traveled further on less. I would know more of this circle. |
| 75287 You shall use the circle to summon Ur-Gothoz, then bind his spirit within an abyssal runesword that can be found within the gorge. His power will become yours, and in this manner shall the servant become the master. |
| 75288 You can show me how to do this? |
| 75289 I can. |
| 75290 And I can give you wings and show you how to fly. You cannot trust this witch. |
| 75291 A pretty story, to be sure. But it does leave one question unanswered. |
| 75292 This is your chance, Dorn! We shall finally see you free of the accursed Ur-Gothoz, free to pursue your own destiny. |
| 75293 Trust her? Never. But the chance of bending Ur-Gothoz to my will is a temptation too great to be resisted. |
| 75294 You're a fool, Dorn Il-Khan. A whiff of power and you let yourself be pulled around like a bull with a ring in its nose. |
| 75295 The decision is yours. I hope you don't come to regret it. |
| 75296 I'm with you. To see the demon suffer is worth the risk. |
| 75297 Why would you offer this to me, woman? |
| 75298 Keep talking, <CHARNAME>, and you'll get more than a whiff of the power I command. |
| 75299 You know my feelings on this, Dorn. Make your choice. |
| 75300 Of all the men and women I've encountered, <CHARNAME>, I believe only you have truly understood me. |
| 75301 That's because we seek the same things. |
| 75302 Though I know Ur-Gothoz well, he is no friend of mine. He has made himself a most vexatious pest to me as well as you. To see him broken by your iron hand would be an exquisite revenge. |
| 75303 I can buy that. |
| 75304 She paints a pretty picture, Dorn, I can't deny it. But I don't see why you should take all the risk. |
| 75305 An enemy's enemy can be a useful friend, Dorn. If you don't take this chance, Ur-Gothoz will surely lead you to ruin. |
| 75306 Revenge drives us together. |
| 75307 Are you a fool? Have your senses taken leave of you? Do you think there is no risk for me, coming here like this? |
| 75308 Calm yourself, Azothet. I merely made an observation. I suspect my thoughts on the matter are of little consequence to your prospective catspaw. What say you, Dorn? |
| 75309 I see your point, <CHARNAME>, but you're right. My path is already chosen. |
| 75310 Very well, Azothet. I shall begin the trek to Resurrection Gorge directly. But be warned: At the first hint of betrayal, I'll |
| 75311 You need not fear me, Dorn Il-Khan. Your success is mine in this endeavor. But my time with you has endedâ€â€Ur-Gothoz draws near. Farewell, my friend. |
| 75312 Hrmm. "Friend"? Dream on, witch. |
| 75313 â€â€was the third time I got the mumps, and my dad never let me go near the bog again. Hey! How'd you switch places so quick? |
| 75314 DORN! EXPLAIN YOURSELF! |
| 75315 Ur-Gothoz, I presume? |
| 75316 Explain what? |
| 75317 Don't play the fool with me, half-orc! |
| 75318 "Play" the fool? |
| 75319 What's he on about? |
| 75320 Your wit is duller than a blind man's hammer, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75321 You love it. |
| 75322 Our contact was severed; do not deny it! I was forced to take this more... public avenue of contacting you. |
| 75323 I didn't hear him try to deny it. |
| 75324 Your patron is rather excitable, isn't he? |
| 75325 Yeah, that was I. Sorry about that. |
| 75326 You're going to try and bind that into a sword? Really? |
| 75327 Silence, godling. I am having words with my servant. Dorn! Explain this breach of our agreement! |
| 75328 I assumed that it was your doing. |
| 75329 What? Why would I sever our bond? |
| 75330 How should he know? You don't tell him why you want him to kill people. Why would he think you'd explain something as inconsequential as this? |
| 75331 That's a good question. Why would he sever your bond? |
| 75332 Obviously, that's something he'd never do. NEVER. Why, he'd rather be bound in an abyssal runesword than see you out from beneath his thumb. |
| 75333 Muzzle your pet, Dorn, unless you'd rather see it flayed to the bone. |
| 75334 He has a... temperament, to be sure. |
| 75335 Probably woke up on the wrong side of the infernal pit. |
| 75336 Damn you, <CHARNAME>, if you don't stop talking, the next thing you eat will be your own teeth. |
| 75337 Well, Dorn? How do you explain this disruption? |
| 75338 You? You don't even comprehend your own power, much less how to wield it in such a manner. |
| 75339 It was an accident. Sorry. Won't happen again. |
| 75340 I was testing the strength of your bond. |
| 75341 Well, it's not like your bond was particularly strong now, was it? |
| 75342 Bind me into a Curse you, Dorn, what treachery have you planned against me? |
| 75343 Oh relax, you bloody great demon. It was a joke. |
| 75344 Yes, Dorn. Tell him what treachery you have planned against him. |
| 75345 Forgive me, O great and powerful Ur-Gothoz. My ill-considered jest was simply meant to lighten the mood. |
| 75346 I am a loyal servant of Ur-Gothoz. Our bond shall never be severed. |
| 75347 Other than a minute ago, you mean. |
| 75348 How lucky Ur-Gothoz is to have a dog as affectionate as you. |
| 75349 Of course. Only a blind fool could doubt your loyalty. |
| 75350 You expect me to believe you severed our connection? The bond between a patron and his blackguard servant is deeper than you can ever understand, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 75351 Yup. Do you? |
| 75352 What you believe is no concern of mine. |
| 75353 Why would anyone in their right mind claim such a thingâ€â€to the face of the demon in question, no lessâ€â€if it weren't the truth? |
| 75354 You dare situate yourself between Ur-Gothoz and his servant? |
| 75355 I said I was sorry. |
| 75356 I didn't think it would work. I guess I underestimated the extent of my own power. |
| 75357 I tried, O mighty one. But your loyal servant Dorn Il-Khan bid me halt in my efforts. |
| 75358 If you truly wield the power you claim, I cannot allow you to continue influencing my minion. Dorn, prove your loyalty to me. Dispose of this worm. |
| 75359 Go ahead, Dorn. Prove your loyalty to your pitscum master. |
| 75360 After all I've done for you, this is how you repay me? |
| 75361 I'm not the influence you should be concerned about, Ur-Gothoz. There are others who seek to take your servant from you. |
| 75362 What? There's another who'd dare cross Ur-Gothoz? |
| 75363 Oh yes. Tell him, Dorn. Tell him about Azothet's offer. |
| 75364 I'll have your head for this, you traitorous mongrel... |
| 75365 Azothet dares to scheme against me again? Is this true, Dorn? Do you plot my downfall with that wretched marilith? |
| 75366 You misunderstand! He let Azothet believe he's a traitor, to better uncover her plans against you. Isn't that right, Dorn? |
| 75367 Better to work with Azothet than serve the whims of some moldy old demon. |
| 75368 Dorn! This <PRO_RACE>'s insolence is intolerable. Teach it its proper place. |
| 75369 Forgive me, Ur-Gothoz. I meant no offense. |
| 75370 Forgive me, Ur-Gothoz. I merely sought to help my friend Dorn after he told me he feared the loss of his bond to you. |
| 75371 That's right, Dorn. Do as your master orders, as always. |
| 75372 You would mock me? Such impudence cannot go unpunished. Dorn! Exterminate this nuisance! |
| 75373 Forgive me, Ur-Gothoz. I meant no offense. |
| 75374 Do as your lord commands, Dorn. Let him have no doubt as to your loyalty. |
| 75375 That's right, Dorn. Obey your master like a good little dog. |
| 75376 I am unamused, <PRO_RACE>. Count yourself lucky I've better things to do with my time than deal with simpering godlings. Now, Dorn, your abrupt absence. Explain yourself. |
| 75377 You know I lack the power to accomplish such a thing. I cannot explain it. I tell you I am a loyal servant, and I've the blood on my hands to prove it. If that does not persuade you, nothing I can say will either. |
| 75378 It's true you lack the power to sever our bond, but the truth's just another tool for a liar's tongue. I'm watching you, Dorn. Do not disappoint me. |
| 75379 I cannot explain that. Ur-Gothoz knows I lack the power to sever our connection. |
| 75380 I tell you I am a loyal servant, and I've the blood on my hands to prove it. If you can't accept that, nothing I say will change your mind. |
| 75381 No! Dorn, cut this jester down. |
| 75382 Do as your master bids, Dorn. Cut me down. |
| 75383 Are you mad, <CHARNAME>? Prostrate yourself on the floor and beg Ur-Gothoz for mercy, or by the gods above and all the demons below, I'll stain the ground you stand on crimson with your blood! |
| 75384 You're the one who's slipped the bounds of sanity. Would you truly slay a friendâ€â€perhaps your only friendâ€â€at this demon's word? |
| 75385 Then your meaning was well hidden. |
| 75386 I'll waste no more time dealing with the likes of you. Now, Dorn! Explain the severing of our bond. |
| 75387 Then your meaning was well hidden. Dorn, prove your loyalty! Gut this jester. |
| 75388 Your words drip with lies, mortal. |
| 75389 Dorn, you didn't tell him? |
| 75390 I... didn't know. |
| 75391 Allow to explain, O great Ur-Gothoz. There are few that have earned Dorn's trust, fewer still he will confide in. I am fortunate to count myself among that number. So it was to me he came with his concern that the nature of your connection had changed recently. You have seemed... distant, to him. So much so that he feared he might lose you. I thought I might assist, using certain of my skills to strengthen your bond, but I miscalculated. Instead, I temporarily cut the tie that binds you together. I am lucky indeed that you appearedâ€â€had you not, I've no doubt I'd already be writhing on the end of Dorn's sword. |
| 75392 I would never betray Ur-Gothoz. I let Azothet believe I would to discover her scheme. |
| 75393 Azothet plots against me? I'll have her head on a stake for this. |
| 75394 All I ask is that I be allowed to view the malevolent snake when you do. |
| 75395 Perhaps. Perhaps you yourself will be the instrument of her destruction. |
| 75396 It would be my honor, master. |
| 75397 Well, I'm glad we got that sorted out. |
| 75398 All's well that ends well. For everyone but Azothet, that is. |
| 75399 Does your knee ever get sore from bending all the time? |
| 75400 Curse you, <CHARNAME>! I do what I must to survive and thrive, and if that means your death, so be it! |
| 75401 So you would slay a friendâ€â€perhaps your only oneâ€â€at the word of this foul glabrezu? |
| 75402 I'm disappointed, Dorn. I thought better of you. |
| 75403 You call serving this pathetic glabrezu thriving? You're even more stupid than you are ugly. |
| 75404 Yes. |
| 75405 Look at him, Ur-Gothoz. Look at the mighty Dorn Il-Khan, shaming himself for your benefit. How can you possibly doubt his loyalty? |
| 75406 Your groveling disgusts me. Draw your weapon. I'll die before I endure another second of your wretched mewling before this pathetic lackwit of a demon. |
| 75407 Think again! |
| 75408 I hope you savored those words, <CHARNAME>, for they will be your last! |
| 75409 Let him prove his loyalty. Dorn, my loyal servant... This chattering jackanapes wearies me. Kill <PRO_HIMHER>, won't you? |
| 75410 I am satisfied of your loyalty, Dorn Il-Khan. I know not how the link was broken, but you clearly played no role in it. Go about your business, and await my next command. |
| 75411 Dorn, is this true? |
| 75412 It is, my lord. |
| 75413 Do you think I'm stupid? |
| 75414 Perish the thought, maleficent one. |
| 75415 A little. |
| 75416 No, but I hoped to be proven wrong. |
| 75417 You really expect me to believe this towering heap of lies? Do you think I am a fool? Dorn! Strip the flesh from this jester's bones and pray for a fate that's half as merciful! |
| 75418 Go ahead, Dorn. Sit, fetch, slay your friends. |
| 75419 A pox upon you, <CHARNAME>! I do as I must to survive and thrive. |
| 75420 And to do that, you must obey your master. Pathetic lickspittle. You disgust me. |
| 75421 Better to die than live in servitude! |
| 75422 Dorn! I want this arrogant worm's head on a pike. |
| 75423 Your death was inevitable, <CHARNAME>. I hope your gods are merciful, for you know I am not. |
| 75424 Perhaps in death you'll find some comfort in the knowledge that you were right. Dorn, cut the jester's tongue from <PRO_HISHER> mouth. And while you're about it, take <PRO_HISHER> head from <PRO_HISHER> body, as well. |
| 75425 You couldn't resist, could you, <PRO_RACE>? You had to slip the knife in! |
| 75426 Forgive me, my friend. Demons always bring out the worst in me. |
| 75427 Your groveling disgusts me. Draw your weapon. I'll die before I endure another second of your wretched mewling. |
| 75428 When I'm done with you, I'll wear your skin as a loincloth! |
| 75429 Are you mad, <CHARNAME>? Prostrate yourself on the floor and beg Ur-Gothoz for mercy, or by the gods above and all the demons below, I'll stain the ground you stand on crimson with your blood! |
| 75430 You're the one who's slipped the bounds of sanity. Would you truly slay a friendâ€â€perhaps your only friendâ€â€at this demon's word? |
| 75431 Yes. |
| 75432 Look at him, Ur-Gothoz. Look at the mighty Dorn Il-Khan, shaming himself for your benefit. How can you possibly doubt his loyalty? |
| 75433 Your groveling disgusts me. Draw your weapon. I'll die before I endure another second of your wretched mewling before this pathetic lackwit of a demon. |
| 75434 You yourself invoked the name of Azothet. |
| 75435 Ah. I did do that, didn't I? |
| 75436 I would never betray you, Ur-Gothoz. I will never relinquish my grasp on the power you supply. I let Azothet believe I would to discover her scheme. |
| 75437 Why should I believe you? |
| 75438 I tell you I am a loyal servant, and I've the blood on my hands to prove it. I've half-filled a Hell at your command. Watch your foes continue to fall beneath my blade or end me now. The choice is yours. |
| 75439 I am satisfied of your loyalty, Dorn Il-Khanâ€â€for now. I shall deal with Azothet in my own way. Go about your business, and await my next command. But know, I am watching. |
| 75440 It is my honor to serve you, Ur-Gothoz. |
| 75441 Well, I'm glad we got that sorted out. |
| 75442 All's well that ends well. For everyone but Azothet, that is. |
| 75443 Does your knee ever get sore from bending all the time? |
| 75444 Resurrection Gorge. Just as Azothet described. |
| 75445 Great. Let's go somewhere else now. |
| 75446 With a little effort, this could be a very welcoming place. Some yardwork, a little gardening, burning the entire place to the ground. It has potential. |
| 75447 You won't be able to put off your decision much longer. |
| 75448 Foul magic oozes from this place. We should show it our backs. |
| 75449 No. We've come too far to turn back. |
| 75450 Speak for yourself. I found the journey here very relaxing; I'm sure the return trip will be just as pleasant. |
| 75451 You're right, of course. Lead on, Dorn Il-Khan. Our doom awaits. |
| 75452 I suppose you're right. Azothet and Ur-Gothoz mustn't be kept waiting. |
| 75453 Doom awaits us, 'tis true. But not ours, <CHARNAME>. Not ours. |
| 75454 You've made your decision then? |
| 75455 Between Azothet and Ur-Gothoz? No, not yet. |
| 75456 Best make your mind up quickly. If Azothet spoke true, you haven't much time left. |
| 75457 Let your glib tongue rest a moment, <CHARNAME>. This place reeks of power. |
| 75458 It also reeks of death and madness. |
| 75459 Death and madness are common companions to such as us. |
| 75460 Us? |
| 75461 You know we seek the same things. Power. Glory. These are what drive us forward. |
| 75462 I think you've mistaken me for someone else. Someone considerably more unstable than I. |
| 75463 You can have power and glory. I'd be satisfied with comfort and contentment. |
| 75464 'Tis true. Alone, we are forces to be reckoned with. Together, we are unstoppable. |
| 75465 You disappoint me. I thought in you I'd found a kindred spirit. Together, we have done much. But we could do so much more. |
| 75466 My decision? |
| 75467 Whom do you serve? Ur-Gothoz? Azothet? Or yourself? |
| 75468 Be silent, <CHARNAME>. Ur-Gothoz's ears and eyes are ever upon me. |
| 75469 Therein lies the problem, I think. |
| 75470 Ho there, travelers. What brings you to this blighted place? |
| 75471 Now that we're here, I really couldn't tell you. |
| 75472 We seek the circle of summoning that can supposedly be found within a tree, which in turn can be found in a gorge. |
| 75473 You call this lovely pastoral scene blighted? Are you mad, woman? |
| 75474 Power. What else could attract such as us to such a place? |
| 75475 You aren't the first. |
| 75476 We will be the last. |
| 75477 And those before us? I assume they met ends befitting such dire scenery? |
| 75478 I'm not mad. Perhaps you are blind? |
| 75479 I prefer to think of myself as optimistic. |
| 75480 Well, there's little enough of that to be found in this place. I am Summerheigh. Welcome. |
| 75481 Thank you, Summerheigh. I am <CHARNAME>. Have you lived here long? |
| 75482 I can't say I was there, of course, but I suspect as much. |
| 75483 I'm truly sorry to hear it. |
| 75484 We shall do what we can to avenge them, I promise you. |
| 75485 Then they were weak and deserved their fate. |
| 75486 Such arrogance marks you as foolish or truly mighty. |
| 75487 We're certainly one or the other. I'm not entirely certain which just yet... |
| 75488 Call me a fool and you'll experience my might firsthand. |
| 75489 Your threats mean nothing to me. The gorge has already taken everything I valued. |
| 75490 I'm truly sorry to hear that. |
| 75491 I care not what the gorge has taken, only what it has to give. |
| 75492 Tell me your tale, woman. If it entertains me, perhaps I'll spare your life. |
| 75493 A lonely existence. |
| 75494 There is strength in solitude. |
| 75495 But little joy. |
| 75496 Joy is irrelevant. All that matters is power. Power to accomplish whatever you please! |
| 75497 We're not here to discuss philosophy. Who are you, woman? |
| 75498 I appreciate the sentiment, stranger. |
| 75499 I am <CHARNAME>. And you are? |
| 75500 Speak for yourself, <PRO_RACE>. I'll not feign weakness attempting to ingratiate myself to this... filth. |
| 75501 You'll have to forgive my friend. He was born in an alley in a particularly nasty part of town and raised in a barn that was only marginally more sanitary. I am <CHARNAME>. Whom do I have the honor of addressing? |
| 75502 Then feign muteness, you lumbering imbecile. I'm trying to have a civilized conversation here. |
| 75503 Then be silent and ingratiate yourself to me. |
| 75504 ...Very well. |
| 75505 Good! Now then. Allow me to introduce myself. I am <CHARNAME>. The rock in the armor there is Dorn. And you are...? |
| 75506 You go too far, <CHARNAME>! Die! |
| 75507 You go too far, <CHARNAME>. Any further and you'll have a brief but enlightening discussion with the edge of my sword. |
| 75508 I look forward to it. But for now, I'd like to talk with... I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name. |
| 75509 It'll come to little enough, but I appreciate the thought. |
| 75510 I am <CHARNAME>. And you are? |
| 75511 Only a fool would come to this place. And a greater fool still is the one who doesn't turn back. |
| 75512 I guess you can consider me a great fool, then. |
| 75513 I'm comfortable being a fool; less so with being a great one. |
| 75514 And the one who dares to call me fool is the greatest fool of all. |
| 75515 Do what you will. It'll take more than that to intimidate me. |
| 75516 My name is Summerheigh. |
| 75517 I've lived here all my life. |
| 75518 And a full life it looks to have been. |
| 75519 I'm sorry to hear it. |
| 75520 If you wish that life to continue, prithee skip to the part about the gorge. |
| 75521 It's empty now. All that once filled me with joy has been twisted beyond recognition, corrupted by the foul creature trapped within the great tree or killed outright. |
| 75522 You've suffered much. |
| 75523 Speaking of the foul creature trapped in the great tree... |
| 75524 By the gods, woman, get to the point. |
| 75525 Sorrow abounds in the shade of that gnarled monstrosity. |
| 75526 The tree? |
| 75527 The tree, aye. It wasn't always the misshapen thing you see before you. Once this was a place of light and peace. No longer. |
| 75528 What happened? |
| 75529 All who live here have suffered. We are all like the tree, spoiled and malformed, victims of the beast within it. |
| 75530 This beast you speak of. What is it? |
| 75531 I know not the exact nature of the fiend that lurks within the gorge. Perhaps someday, when I've had my fill of this life, I'll venture down into the darkness. For now, I know only the effect it had. |
| 75532 Do you know how it came to be here? |
| 75533 Interesting. Less informative than I'd hoped, but like my friend Dorn here, I'm getting accustomed to taking action without knowing the entire picture. |
| 75534 Interesting. Less informative than I'd hoped, but I'm getting accustomed to taking action without knowing the entire picture. |
| 75535 If that's all you know, then you're of no use to us. |
| 75536 Watch yourself, <PRO_RACE>. Summerheigh. Tell us more of the creature that stalks the gorge. How did it come to be there? |
| 75537 You think to sway me with threats? End my life, I beg you. I've naught left to live for. |
| 75538 I merely wish to know what we shall face within the gorge. |
| 75539 You make it mighty tempting. I'll consider your request while you finish with your tale. |
| 75540 If that is your wish. |
| 75541 Die, wretch! |
| 75542 Do it, kill me, send me to my boy! |
| 75543 My son, oh, my poor boy, Vernus... He sought a portal to the Beastlands. |
| 75544 Did it work? |
| 75545 Obviously, it failed. |
| 75546 Show some dignity, woman. Your tears are of no use to us. |
| 75547 Does it look like it worked? |
| 75548 Hey, I was just asking. |
| 75549 Vernus was an accomplished druid. I don't know what went wrong. My boy, my poor, poor boy... |
| 75550 Instead of the Beastlands, Vernus's portal reached into the Abyss. If I was only there to help him prepareâ€â€but I didn't know. I couldn't know... |
| 75551 I'm sure you did everything you could for your son. |
| 75552 I won't let Vernus's loss be for nothing. What happened next? |
| 75553 You couldn't know and I can't care. Get on with it. |
| 75554 She made him weak with her coddling. |
| 75555 She loved him as a mother should a son. Ignore the half-orc, Summerheigh. Please, continue. |
| 75556 If my tale bores you, perhaps I should keep it to myself. |
| 75557 I'm sorry, Summerheigh. The journey here was long and tiring. I shouldn't have snapped at you. Please continue. |
| 75558 THANK you. Come on everyone, the gorge awaits. |
| 75559 You'll tell me what I want to know or suffer the consequences. |
| 75560 Hah! There's the <CHARNAME> I remember! |
| 75561 You have the manners of a wild boar. I'm done with you. Begone. |
| 75562 I beg you to reconsider. Our manners are coarse, but our interests are aligned in this matter. In the best case scenario, we will kill the monster that plagues your beloved tree. In the worst, we die. You have nothing to lose. |
| 75563 Very well. Your story gave me the opportunity for a pleasant nap, but it's time we were on our way. |
| 75564 You may be done with us, old woman. But we're not quite finished with you. |
| 75565 Die, hag! |
| 75566 That's true enough, though if you enter the gorge, there's nothing I can tell you that will alter your fate. |
| 75567 Then I bid you good day. |
| 75568 And there's nothing you can say that will alter yours. |
| 75569 I cannot go on. Leave me to my sorrows, I beg you. |
| 75570 As you wish, Summerheigh. |
| 75571 I'll do one better than leave you to your sorrows, old womanâ€â€I'll end them. |
| 75572 Join your son in death, you wretched sow! |
| 75573 You again? You're still alive, so I assume you've yet to enter the gorge. Having second thoughts? |
| 75574 I was hoping you could tell us more about what happened to the gorge. |
| 75575 I haven't even had first thoughts yet. |
| 75576 The only path I care to travel leads to the gorge. |
| 75577 I wish you the best of luck, but I did the same for Vernus, my boy, my poor, doomed boy. |
| 75578 When it comes to luck, I'm not choosy. I'll take what I can get, and thank you for it. Farewell, Summerheigh. |
| 75579 When it comes to luck and traveling companions, I'm not choosy. I'll take what I can get, and thank you for it. |
| 75580 I'll settle for luck, but I'd rather have knowledge. Is there anything more you can tell me about what happened after Vernus's death? |
| 75581 Only fools and weaklings count on luck. I know not which your Vernus wasâ€â€perhaps bothâ€â€but I assure you I am neither. |
| 75582 The strong make their own luck, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75583 The wise know better than to refuse gifts from the gods. Farewell, Summerheigh. |
| 75584 Make these your last ones of this place. Leave me and Resurrection Gorge to our misery while you're still able. |
| 75585 I'll consider your words carefully, Summerheigh. Goodbye. |
| 75586 Would that I were able to let it go, good lady. But adventure calls from the gorge, and I am powerless to resist. |
| 75587 I go where I will, woman. And I choose to go into the gorge. |
| 75588 Then you go to your doom. |
| 75589 My boy was neither fool nor weakling. You'll see if you enter the gorgeâ€â€you'll meet your doom, just as he did. |
| 75590 Then you go to your doom. |
| 75591 I would willingly sacrifice myself to save the gorge. |
| 75592 You are undoubtedly correct. But perhaps you could shed some light on the nature of that doom. Tell me what happened to your son, Summerheigh. |
| 75593 We shall see, old woman. |
| 75594 Such a noble sentimentâ€â€! You remind me of my boy. |
| 75595 Tell me more of him, please. |
| 75596 Hey, I'm not dead YET. |
| 75597 Your boy was a weakling and a fool. I fail to see the resemblance. |
| 75598 If you remain here much longer, that will change as certainly as night does into day. |
| 75599 Take heart, Summerheigh. Where there's life, there's hope. All is not lost. |
| 75600 Believe me, I'll spend the minimum time required to achieve my goals here. |
| 75601 Everything dies. |
| 75602 Some things die sooner than othersâ€â€especially things that would bar my way. |
| 75603 May fortune smile upon you. Few other things will in this place. |
| 75604 My boy, ah, my poor, poor boyâ€â€he sought to make contact with the Beastlands and instead opened a portal to the Abyss. |
| 75605 And then? |
| 75606 A great evil escaped into our world through Vernus's portal. |
| 75607 But for the great tree's dryad, Yarrow, it would surely have wreaked havoc upon the realm. She used the tree's power to confine the monster to the gorge. |
| 75608 For years, its vile presence has poisoned this place. Soon its corrupting touch will spread from Athkatla to Esmeltaran! |
| 75609 I thought you said it was confined to the gorge. |
| 75610 It'll what now? |
| 75611 It will do no such thing. I won't permit it. |
| 75612 That remains to be seen. |
| 75613 For now. |
| 75614 The Abyss's corruption touches every part of the tree. With every passing day, the tree grows weaker. Yarrow cannot contain that malign creature much longer. |
| 75615 Then we must make haste. |
| 75616 So if we fail, unimaginable evil will be unleashed upon the world. Great. That's just great. |
| 75617 Then the dryad is fortunate indeed, for her labors near an end. |
| 75618 She said the monster will corrupt |
| 75619 I heard what she said, Dorn. I just hoped I heard it wrong. |
| 75620 You forget yourself, <CHARNAME>. Our reasons for coming here are not so abstract. |
| 75621 Why are you here, anyway? |
| 75622 We're heroes. Who else would venture into such a place? |
| 75623 Something to do with binding a demon to a sword. I'm not totally clear on it myself, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. |
| 75624 The gorge is a place of power. We would take that power for ourselves. |
| 75625 What with your half-orc servant and your overwhelming self-importance, I can't say I'm overly fond of you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75626 Servant? |
| 75627 But the evil within the gorge must be stopped, and you appear to be the only ones willing to take on the task. To that end, I will offer you what little aid I can. |
| 75628 I appreciate that, Summerheigh. |
| 75629 You have more to offer than words of encouragement? |
| 75630 Finally, a shred of wisdom from your withered hide. What can you do to help us? |
| 75631 Your stunning arrogance and overwhelming sense of self-importance have not endeared you to me, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 75632 There's no straight path to enter the gorge. A treacherous journey awaits you, regardless of what I do. However, I do have some influence over the fey and woodland creatures that make their home in these parts. |
| 75633 You'll keep them off our back? That's something, at least. Thank you, Summerheigh. |
| 75634 Well, Dorn? Still committed to this fool's errand? |
| 75635 Warn them to stay well away from us. I've little patience for those that block my path. |
| 75636 I will not fail. |
| 75637 In which case, imaginable evil will be unleashed upon the world. I guess that's a slight improvement. |
| 75638 You know what I love about you, Dorn? Yeah, me neither. Let's go. |
| 75639 Failure is for the weak. Whatever lurks within the gorge will fall before us like wheat to a scythe. |
| 75640 Your arrogance blinds you to the menace you're about to face. I pray to Silvanus your eyes are opened before it's too late for us all. |
| 75641 I've earned my arrogance, paid for it with toil and blood. And now, the gorge awaits. |
| 75642 Fools. Madmen. Those who lust for power, or worseâ€â€for glory. |
| 75643 We're those, too. I like to think we offer a well-rounded package. |
| 75644 You make those sound like bad things. |
| 75645 There's a place for all in nature's bosom. But if my fate must rest with another, I'd prefer that <PRO_MANWOMAN> display the finest attributes of their kind, not the basest. |
| 75646 I'm afraid you're in no position to be choosy. |
| 75647 You know full well why we're here, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75648 I do. I'm not convinced you can say the same. |
| 75649 Of course. I was merely trying to spare good Summerheigh here a long and boring story. It's not like we've an abundance of time left to us, from the sounds of it. |
| 75650 For pity's sake, Dorn, you could teach a lemon a thing or two about being sour. |
| 75651 So that's all the gorge is to you? A means to attain power? |
| 75652 If you can't respect our motives, at least give us points for honesty. |
| 75653 Swords? Demons? |
| 75654 And what if it is? |
| 75655 We must make our way into the gorge. Nothing else matters. |
| 75656 There's a bigger picture, Dorn. |
| 75657 There are those who would disagree. |
| 75658 The singularity of your vision is overwhelming. Would that I had your focus. |
| 75659 Perhaps for you, <CHARNAME>. Not for me. |
| 75660 Such a narrow view will cost you dearlyâ€â€and may cost the world much more. |
| 75661 Well said, Dorn. In this venture, what you seek is the only prize that matters. |
| 75662 Then let's tarry no longer with this withered husk. The circle awaits. |
| 75663 What care I for the world? |
| 75664 Those that live here have suffered enough. I'd not see them endure more. You'll have no trouble from any who heed me. |
| 75665 I appreciate the thought, but I'd still know your reasons for coming here. |
| 75666 There is great power to be had here. |
| 75667 The idea of you wielding true power, half-orc... I find it unsettling. |
| 75668 You're very perceptive. |
| 75669 I'll admit Dorn's an acquired taste, but once you get used to him, he's really very... not as terribly awful as he may seem on first glance. |
| 75670 More unsettling than living in the shadow of that monster? |
| 75671 When you put it that way, no. |
| 75672 None who matter, <CHARNAME>. Let us waste no more breath on this shriveled prune. My destiny bids me move forward. |
| 75673 Disturbing though it is, you would seem to be my last hope. |
| 75674 Yet you stand with him. |
| 75675 Better that than against him, believe you me. |
| 75676 True, but my judgment is notoriously poor. |
| 75677 I stand with the worthy. Dorn's strength has earned him a place by my side. |
| 75678 That explains muchâ€â€like why you're here, for instance. |
| 75679 You should learn from their wisdom, hag. |
| 75680 Far be it from me to suggest it is you who has much to learn. Be on your way. |
| 75681 Well said. Let's tarry no longer with this wizened hag. The tree awaits. |
| 75682 I also have some items that may be of use. |
| 75683 You understand that though I support your efforts, I cannot part with them for nothing. |
| 75684 We wouldn't ask you to. |
| 75685 Even in nature, commerce reigns. What have you got, and what would you want in return? |
| 75686 You'll part with more than you'd like if you don't hand them over. |
| 75687 I have some items that may be of use to you. |
| 75688 I've lost everything that ever mattered to me already, <PRO_RACE>. If you think I fear you, think again! |
| 75689 I've lost everything that ever mattered to me already. Here, take what's left; it matters not. |
| 75690 We could simply take them. |
| 75691 While we're at it, we could put a target on our backs for every faerie and woodland beast 'twixt us and the gorge. |
| 75692 Dorn, if you could see your way clear to not being quite so... Dorn-ish for a few minutes, it sure would make my life easier. |
| 75693 Indeed. Hand over the goods, druid. |
| 75694 I've faced worse in my time. |
| 75695 I'm sure you have, but why face it at all if we don't have to? |
| 75696 You'll face worse than that in a couple seconds if you don't smarten up and treat this woman with the respect she deserves. |
| 75697 You threaten me, Bhaalspawn? |
| 75698 I tell you a simple truth you'd do well to take to heart. |
| 75699 Very well. Dither with the hag for the rest of the day, play crosses and noughts till the sun rises. I care not. |
| 75700 Take my blade to heart, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 75701 I am what I am, <CHARNAME>. Take it or don't; Dorn Il-Khan changes for no <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 75702 I don't ask you to change, Dorn. I ask only for silence. That's usually something you're only too willing to provide. Now then, Summerheigh. What of these goods you spoke of? |
| 75703 This would be so easy if I still... if I had my wings. |
| 75704 Ah! I'll never get these leaves out of my hair. |
| 75705 You've more important things to worry about, Anomen. Not falling to your death first among them. |
| 75706 Better to die than be seen looking like some feral animal. |
| 75707 The gorgeâ€â€or whatever lies within itâ€â€has poisoned this once-great tree. I can feel its suffering. |
| 75708 You monkeys are enjoying this, aren't you? Watching a civilized man struggle... I was not made for trees! |
| 75709 My ravens are at home here, I think. |
| 75710 Ravens? I don't see any ravens. Nobody here but us chickens. |
| 75711 I can't believe I let you talk me into this, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75712 Careful, <CHARNAME>. We want to walk into the gorge, not fall into it. |
| 75713 I can take care of myself, Jaheira. Take care that you do the same. |
| 75714 You know what this reminds me of? |
| 75715 No, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to. |
| 75716 Can this wait, Jan? I'm trying not to plummet to my death here. |
| 75717 The greatest alley I ever saw was behind the Silver Sow Public House in Athkatla. I never saw gravel so clean in my life. The alley's rats were bathed twice daily and were delicious to boot. The Silver Sow's back door was pristine oak, unstained by the blood of any of its patrons, which is more than can be said for the front door. And across the alley was a wall with stonework so simple but elegant it would make a mathematician cry. This alley |
| 75718 What does this have to do with navigating over a bloody great gorge in the branches of a bloody great tree? |
| 75719 The alley was nothing like this. |
| 75720 I'm too old to be climbing trees, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75721 Better to climb than fall from them, Keldorn. |
| 75722 This is no fit place for a dwarf, <CHARNAME>. Remind me again why I tolerate you? |
| 75723 Don't be afraid, Korgan. |
| 75724 Afraid? I should have your tongue out for that, <PRO_RACE>. It's not like we're facin' down a horde of dragonsâ€â€it's just a bloody tree! |
| 75725 That's the spirit. |
| 75726 All things considered, I'd prefer to have my feet on the ground, not several hundred feet above it. |
| 75727 Be careful, Mazzy. You could find yourself on the ground sooner than you think. |
| 75728 What do you think, Boo? Isn't this a nice tree? |
| 75729 Boo doesn't think this is a nice tree. |
| 75730 I think Boo is right. |
| 75731 This place stinks of magic. How much longer must we tarry in this vile fug? |
| 75732 As long as it takes to achieve our goals, Valygar. Either that or fall to our deaths. |
| 75733 Remind me again why I'm here, <CHARNAME>? |
| 75734 I'm having trouble remembering myself, Viconia. |
| 75735 When this is over, I'll cut this tree down or see it burned to ashes. |
| 75736 You're not afraid of heights, are you Dorn? |
| 75737 These boots were made for walking and occasionally kicking in the skull of a fallen enemy. Not scrambling through the boughs of some gods-forsaken oak. |
| 75738 Forging through the branches of a giant tree hundreds of feet above the ground. This. Is. AWESOME. |
| 75739 Remember, it's not the height you need to be afraid of. It's the fall that'll kill you. |
| 75740 Stay back! The tree must be contained! |
| 75741 I tried to warn them, mistress, but they didn't listen! |
| 75742 Treadsoft! Let them go. |
| 75743 Get back, mistress! I'll make short work of these intruders! |
| 75744 Listen to your mistressâ€â€Treadsoft, was it? I've no wish to harm you further. |
| 75745 Are you mad? You're all but dead as it is! |
| 75746 Valiant words, halfling. But hollow ones. |
| 75747 It'll take more than a couple scratches to stop me. |
| 75748 There's more than a couple and they're more than scratches. |
| 75749 Didn't that lady tell you to back off a second ago? Why are we arguing about this? |
| 75750 We'll see what it takes to stop you. |
| 75751 I do. |
| 75752 Well, we don't always get what we want. For instance, you don't get to keep whittling this halfling. |
| 75753 Ignore the half-orc. He wishes to harm everyone further; it's just his way. |
| 75754 I do too, now that you mention it. |
| 75755 I'll wear your intestines like garlands in my hair, you halfling nuisance! |
| 75756 It's your lucky day, halfling. Take what's still attached to your body and go before I change my mind. |
| 75757 It'll take more than the likes of you wretches to give me pause! |
| 75758 Treadsoft! I said withdraw. Do as I command. |
| 75759 Yes, mistress. |
| 75760 All right. Now that we've got that out of the way: I'm <CHARNAME>. I didn't catch your name. |
| 75761 Hey, Dorn, see anything familiar here? "Yes, mistress, whatever you say, master"... ringing any bells for you? |
| 75762 You should have listened to your mistress when you had the chance, halfling. |
| 75763 I am Yarrow, dryad of the great tree. Why have ye come here, <CHARNAME>? |
| 75764 There is a summoning circle within the gorge. I have need of it. |
| 75765 To see the Great Tree, of course. When I told my friends I planned to tour Amn, all said the same thing: That Resurrection Gorge's Great Tree was a sight not to be missed! |
| 75766 For fortune, power, and blood. Not necessarily in that order. |
| 75767 I know the circle ye seek, but I tell ye now your life will be longer and happier if ye find another to serve your purpose. |
| 75768 That was true once, but the days of the great tree's glory are long past. |
| 75769 When did sarcasm die, and why wasn't I informed? |
| 75770 Then ending your days would be doing you a favor. |
| 75771 Ye think yourself witty? |
| 75772 I apologize, Yarrow. I thought to bring a little levity to proceedings, but I see now that was a mistake. |
| 75773 My mother did. |
| 75774 Oh, cheer up, you withered old hag. I was only having a bit of fun. |
| 75775 A druidâ€â€Vernus by nameâ€â€made a grave error. Resurrection Gorge paid the price. |
| 75776 I find nothing amusing about the gorge's plight. |
| 75777 Nor would I, in your place. |
| 75778 I'd tell you to look on the bright side, but it's clear you don't have one. |
| 75779 A life without laughter is not worth living. Ending yours will make at least one of us smile. |
| 75780 There is no place for frivolity here. Not anymore. |
| 75781 Yer mother was a kind woman, then, but a liar. |
| 75782 Count me glad you didn't! |
| 75783 Die, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 75784 Treadsoft, my good and faithful servant, my friend... Damn you, <PRO_RACE>! Ye didn't need to kill him. |
| 75785 Nor did I want to kill him, but he left me precious little choice. |
| 75786 I fear your definition of "need" and mine differ quite drastically. |
| 75787 Needed? No. But it was a most pleasant distraction. |
| 75788 Who are you? Why have ye come here? |
| 75789 I am <CHARNAME>. I have need of the summoning circle within the gorge. |
| 75790 My name is <CHARNAME>. As for why I'm hereâ€â€well, why does anyone come here? |
| 75791 You'll die without ever knowing. That would upset me. Does it bother you? |
| 75792 The gorge holds nothing but darkness and death for anyone foolish enough to enter it. Ye slew my friendâ€â€let me repay the favor by sending you to your doom. |
| 75793 I am sorry about your servant's death, dryad. But I've come too far to stop now. |
| 75794 A too generous offer. What's the catch? |
| 75795 Perhaps the gorge does hold my doomâ€â€you'll not live long enough to see it. |
| 75796 Blood will be repaid with blood! |
| 75797 You are shrewd, <PRO_RACE>, I'll give ye that. |
| 75798 There is no catch, other than that I would see you die for your murderous ways. |
| 75799 I'll admit I deserve no better. Very well. Show us to the gorge's floor. |
| 75800 Then you will be sorely disappointed. |
| 75801 And with those words, you've sealed your fate. Clearly, you cannot be allowed to live. |
| 75802 Your glib tongue adds insult to injury. |
| 75803 They come for many reasons, but all meet the same end. |
| 75804 Mind your tongue, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 75805 What? I merely suggested |
| 75806 Yes, sir. Minding my tongue, sir. |
| 75807 Why, when you seem satisfied to watch it for me? |
| 75808 I know what you were suggesting. I suggest you shut your mouth before I shut it permanently. |
| 75809 I always keep an eye on my enemy's weapons. |
| 75810 You wound me, Dorn. And not the way you usually wound people, either. This hurts. |
| 75811 So you think me an enemy? |
| 75812 You think my tongue is dangerous? Don't leave yourself open like that. |
| 75813 I think you are wise enough to know when you no longer need me as a friend. |
| 75814 I don't stand with you because of your tactical value, Dorn. I actually like you, though only the gods know why. |
| 75815 You think me a friend? |
| 75816 I never needed you as a friend, Dorn, and don't think yourself one now. I use you to my own benefit, as you do me. |
| 75817 I'm glad we understand each other. |
| 75818 I think you're playing games with me now. |
| 75819 Perhaps I am. |
| 75820 You may come to regret that. |
| 75821 Perhaps I will. |
| 75822 You fought valiantly and well, little one. But ye need battle no more. I am satisfied: These warriors are worthy to enter the gorge. |
| 75823 So this was a test? |
| 75824 "Worthy to enter the gorge"? What are you on about? We're talking about a demon-infested gorge, not Athkatla's newest public house. |
| 75825 Your satisfaction is of little concern to me, dryad. Let me pass. |
| 75826 The gorge is a place of darkness and death. Any who can be turned away must be turned awayâ€â€for their own sake. |
| 75827 I see. Well... Thanks, I guess. |
| 75828 Protecting the gorge makes about as much sense as wanting to go into it, so I'm in no position to judge you. |
| 75829 Your servant tried and failed to turn us away. Now stand aside and let us be about our business. |
| 75830 So you would enter it, though you know what awaits you? |
| 75831 I would. |
| 75832 The gods alone know what awaits me, but yes, I am going there. Can you help? |
| 75833 Oh, I will enter itâ€â€but not before you find what awaits you. |
| 75834 If you cannot be swayed from your course, I'll help ye. |
| 75835 My path is chosen. |
| 75836 Uhh, let me get back to you on that, all right? |
| 75837 A wise choice. |
| 75838 So be it. |
| 75839 Die, tree-hag! |
| 75840 Worms will dine upon your flesh! The crows will feast upon your bones! |
| 75841 Yet ye fought to enter it. |
| 75842 All right, you've got me there. |
| 75843 The gorge holds something I desire. Nothing will steer me from my path. |
| 75844 And will continue to do so. A question: If a dryad falls in the forest with no one there to hear, does she truly make a sound? |
| 75845 I don't understand. |
| 75846 Eh, it matters not. I am here, and I will hear your screams. |
| 75847 Death to all who stand between me and the circle! |
| 75848 You reek of violence and death, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. If you want more of it, I'll gladly let ye pass. More, evenâ€â€I'll help you into the gorge. Given your taste, you should find it most accommodating. |
| 75849 I can help you with that. |
| 75850 Simply step upon this branch and the great tree will deliver you to your fate. |
| 75851 Stay back! The tree must Oh, you again. |
| 75852 Why have you returned here, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 75853 I would enter the gorge. |
| 75854 Just passing by. |
| 75855 To what end? |
| 75856 There's a circle of summoning in the tree that my friend has need of. |
| 75857 Whatever's within the gorge is poisoning the land. For the greater good, it must be dealt with. |
| 75858 Fortune, glory, you know. The usual stuff. |
| 75859 To your end and beyond, if you fail to assist me. |
| 75860 Don't try to stand in our way, dryad. |
| 75861 Stand back, mistress! I'll deal with this lot! |
| 75862 Stay your hand, noble Treadsoft. I'll not see ye die today. |
| 75863 Listen to your mistress, halfling. |
| 75864 I wouldn't be so sure of that. |
| 75865 You stink of blood and horror, half-orc. I'll not stand in your wayâ€â€in fact, I'll help you into the gorge. I'm sure you'll find it most accommodating. |
| 75866 I'll cut you into quarters, halfling! |
| 75867 Truly? |
| 75868 Why would I lie? |
| 75869 What other reason could there be to venture into so grim a place? |
| 75870 Nah, not really. But it sounded good for a second there, didn't it? |
| 75871 Deceiver! Why are you here, truly? |
| 75872 We need the circle of summoning within the tree. |
| 75873 Therein lies a tale. A lengthy tale that's really too depressing to get into. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy and girl get cut down by sadistic half-orc, you get the picture. |
| 75874 Fortune and glory. Mostly fortune. It's hard to imagine there being much glory to be found in so dismal a place. |
| 75875 You'll die without ever knowing. |
| 75876 What color is dryad's blood, I wonder? |
| 75877 Mistress, beware! They mean you harm! |
| 75878 Die that the great tree might live! |
| 75879 What concern is it of yours? |
| 75880 Anything that threatens the tree is my concern. |
| 75881 You make light of the danger, but there is nothing funny about the gorge. |
| 75882 I beg to differ. There's something funny in everything. Take my friend Dorn here, for instance. Just two days ago, he ate a jester. Now he jingles when he passes wind. |
| 75883 I believe there's something funny about everything. More often than not, it's a smell, which is regrettable. |
| 75884 Enough of your prattling, <CHARNAME>. Dryad! Who are you who thinks to stand between me and my goal? |
| 75885 I do not pretend to understand the intricacies of the mortal mind. |
| 75886 Let me put you at your ease, then. Our intent is at worst innocuous, with aspirations toward the noble. We're here to help. |
| 75887 Neither fortune nor glory await those who enter the gorge. Only death and destruction. |
| 75888 You'll smile forever when the flesh has fallen from your skull. Only death awaits those who enter the gorge. |
| 75889 I want to believe you, <CHARNAME>. Desperately. |
| 75890 It was not always so. Once my tree was mighty, a lord of the forest. |
| 75891 How the mighty have fallen. |
| 75892 By the gods. What happened? |
| 75893 Your mighty lord has become a withered husk. |
| 75894 I sense a story here. So I'll be going now. |
| 75895 The tree has not fallenâ€â€not yet. We are bent, it and I, but we are not broken. How much longer I'll be able to say that, I don't know. |
| 75896 Perhaps we can help restore you and your tree to your former state. |
| 75897 What happened? |
| 75898 Not much longer now, I think. You and the oak are both fit only for burning. |
| 75899 You go too far, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 75900 You make me sad, Dorn. All this time together and you still can't take a joke. |
| 75901 Really? That was too far? Tell the truth now, Dornâ€â€you've moved the line, haven't you? |
| 75902 I go where I would, half-orc. Only a fool would try and stop me. |
| 75903 You call me a fool? |
| 75904 If you act the fool, I'll tell you so. |
| 75905 Hah! No. How foolish would that make me? |
| 75906 One who acts like a fool should expect no better. |
| 75907 So, you are calling me a fool? |
| 75908 I'm not calling you anything. Curb your paranoia, Dorn. I fear it will drive you to madness. |
| 75909 *sigh* No, Dorn, of course not. Only a fool would call you a fool. And I'm no fool. |
| 75910 Only because you're being one. |
| 75911 I may not have your way with words, <CHARNAME>, but I know how to win an argument. |
| 75912 In the fullness of time, there are few things that don't age and die. That's nature's way. But what happened to my noble tree is anything but natural. |
| 75913 What is the source of such diabolical change? |
| 75914 Any more of this story and I'm the one who'll age and die. |
| 75915 Aging and dying are bad enough on their own. To age and die UNnaturally? A cruel jest of the gods. |
| 75916 Take heart, tree-hag. Your days of suffering near their end. Dorn here shall put you out of your misery. |
| 75917 Does my tale bore you, <PRO_RACE>? Perhaps I should embellish it with dragons and courtesans for your benefit. |
| 75918 That's all right, I'm not sticking around to hear any more of it. |
| 75919 I'm just anxious to see it finished. I know the tale won't end until I enter the gorge. |
| 75920 Hey, I've heard that one before. |
| 75921 You're damn right you've heard that one before! I turn my back for five seconds and some leafy bint starts stealing my material? Ridiculous! |
| 75922 Many have thought as much. None have returned from the gorge. I no longer have the strength to hope. It takes everything I have just to keep myself going from day to day. |
| 75923 That will change soon, I promise you. |
| 75924 I feel the same way before my morning ale. Tell me, what is the nature of the blight that struck your tree? |
| 75925 Take heart, crone. Your suffering is at an end. |
| 75926 A hollow promise. |
| 75927 I speak only the truth. You'll see. Tell us, what happened to you? And how can things be reversed? |
| 75928 Were it not for the creature that stalks the gorge, I'd light the torch myself. |
| 75929 What is this creature you speak of? |
| 75930 A little extreme. Maybe you could let us try and help first? |
| 75931 I will spare you the effort. |
| 75932 I'll not stand here and be mocked by the likes of you! |
| 75933 You're looking for an insult where none was intended, Dorn. |
| 75934 Perhaps you should sit, then. |
| 75935 I'll sit on your corpse! |
| 75936 Your insolent tongue will be the death of you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 75937 Perhaps you're right. But I'm not inclined to cut it out, so I'll just have to live with it as long as I'm able. Yarrow, pray continue your tale. |
| 75938 You would be wise to fear me, <CHARNAME>. Or at least to pretend you do. |
| 75939 I should be able to manage that. I'm a pretty good actor. |
| 75940 I would be wise to flee you. But here I am. |
| 75941 Fear you? Surely you jest. I've more to fear from my shadow. |
| 75942 I'll wager your shadow's sword doesn't cut like mine. |
| 75943 There is nothing divine in our suffering. Quite the opposite, in fact. |
| 75944 Many have tried. All have failed. I cannot bring myself to hope that you will be any different. |
| 75945 It'll be different this time, I promise you. |
| 75946 I don't ask you to hopeâ€â€only to hang on a little longer. Give us a chance to do what we can. |
| 75947 Take heart, crone. Your suffering is at an end. Dorn? |
| 75948 With each passing day, I grow more weak while the foul thing within the gorge gains strength. I'll let go of life neither easily nor gracefully, but I do not know how much longer I have. |
| 75949 Then we must act quickly. Tell me, what is the nature of the monster within the gorge? |
| 75950 You may not fear me, but you know my value. |
| 75951 I do, but we can discuss that later. For now, I would know more about the beast that stalks Resurrection Gorge. |
| 75952 A druidâ€â€Vernus was his nameâ€â€sought to create a portal into the Beastlands. He failed. Instead of the Beastlands, he created an opening into the Abyss. The druid closed the portal, but it was too lateâ€â€a tanar'ri had already escaped its infernal prison. |
| 75953 And it remains in the gorge? Why? |
| 75954 "It escaped its infernal prison." Perhaps you could learn something from this tanar'ri, Dorn. |
| 75955 I assume he paid the price for his foolishness. |
| 75956 His body lays tangled in the roots of the great tree. |
| 75957 The demon is too dangerous to be allowed to roam free. I and the tree contain it within the gorge, but it has taken a heavy toll. |
| 75958 We'll see what lessons it can teach dancing on the end of my blade. Then perhaps you will be the one to learn something from the demon. |
| 75959 His corpse serves as a fitting monument to his failure. |
| 75960 I agree. The state of the tree and a bloodthirsty tanar'ri stalking the gorge is really kind of redundant after that. |
| 75961 He'd probably have preferred some kind of plaque. |
| 75962 Indeed. The weak and foolish deserve no better. |
| 75963 Your arrogance will be your undoing, half-orc. |
| 75964 Don't think of it as arrogance. Think of it as aggressive optimism. |
| 75965 His arrogance? Nah. It's his mindless pursuit of power that's the problem. |
| 75966 And your tongue is yours, dryad. |
| 75967 I think of it as foolishness. The kind of foolishness that's cost countless others before you their lives. |
| 75968 Calling me a fool will cost you your life sooner than my supposed foolishness will cost me mine. |
| 75969 You dare threaten my mistress? I'll not stand for this! |
| 75970 Hold, Treadsoft. I like this rabble no more than you, but my time runs short and our options are limited. |
| 75971 Sap is a poor substitute for blood, but I'll shed it all the same. |
| 75972 There is nothing mindless about it, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 75973 Simmeon, Ur-Gothoz, now Azothet... They called the tune and you danced the dance, all for power. Was it worth it? |
| 75974 Not all of us had the good fortune to be a child of Bhaal. When the opportunity for power presents itself, I have little choice but to take it. |
| 75975 There's more to life than power, Dorn. |
| 75976 "Little choice"? You make excuses for your own base appetites. |
| 75977 Agreed. Power is all that matters. |
| 75978 Desiring power requires no excuse. Power is both the end and the means. Everything else is but a distraction. |
| 75979 Your pitifully limited view cripples your own ambitions. |
| 75980 We'll see, <PRO_RACE>. We'll see. For now, we've more pressing concerns. Dryad. What more can you tell us of the tanar'ri who haunts the gorge? |
| 75981 Save your pity for yourself, <PRO_RACE>. It's more than your ambition I'll cripple. |
| 75982 And there's power here, that much is obvious. Dryad! Tell us more of what awaits us in Resurrection Gorge. |
| 75983 A life without power is hardly worth living. |
| 75984 A life without love is hardly worth living. |
| 75985 Yet there are hundreds of thousandsâ€â€millionsâ€â€of people who endure without power. And many of those are happy. |
| 75986 "Hardly" worth living? A life without power's not worth living at all. |
| 75987 Love? You jest. |
| 75988 All the power in the realms will be meaningless if you are alone. |
| 75989 Only a fool would willingly share such power. |
| 75990 Love makes fools of us all. |
| 75991 Only a fool would ignore the power to be had in combining forces with a worthy mate. |
| 75992 An alliance of equals is a different matter altogether. |
| 75993 Is it? A love shared between unequal partners is built on a foundation of shifting sand. An alliance of equals focused on a mutual goalâ€â€the acquisition of power, sayâ€â€is the sort of ground love needs to bloom. |
| 75994 As long as the mutual goal is the acquisition of power... |
| 75995 There is nothing else of worth, not in this world. |
| 75996 Blind commoner fools, happy to be led by the strong. |
| 75997 But happy nonetheless. |
| 75998 You disappoint me, <CHARNAME>. I thought we were of a shared purpose. |
| 75999 You thought wrong. I aspire to noble deeds, while you are satisfied indulging your baser instincts. |
| 76000 Once, perhaps. But now I'm not so sure. |
| 76001 We do. For such as us, there can be no happiness without power. |
| 76002 Such aspirations are no fitting goals for a child of Bhaal. |
| 76003 Nevertheless, I strive to do good where I can. And it seems there are opportunities aplenty to do so here. |
| 76004 A noble sentiment, <PRO_RACE>, but such sentiments rarely survive the reality of the gorge. |
| 76005 What could prompt such a change in heart? |
| 76006 This place affects me in a way I'd never imagined possible. A balance has been upset here, and I must right it or die in the attempt. |
| 76007 You have, Dorn Il-Khan. Seeing your potential wasted in service to Simmeon, Ur-Gothoz, now Azothet... At all times you seek power, yet your efforts result only in servitude to another. You've chosen your path, and I respect that. But I see now where it leads, and that is nowhere I want to go. |
| 76008 What can I say? I'm fickle. |
| 76009 Curse your eyes, <CHARNAME>! You see my quandary but offer me no solutions. |
| 76010 I have nothing to offer but my support. I have faith in you, Dorn. You'll find a way through this. |
| 76011 A time will comeâ€â€soon, I thinkâ€â€when you'll need to choose between freedom and power. When that time comes, I pray you make the right decision. |
| 76012 Find your own solutions, Il-Khan. I've better things to do with my time than dwell on your problems. |
| 76013 Capriciousness will serve you ill in the gorge. |
| 76014 It's not served me that well outside the gorge, but it is what it is. You were telling us about a tanar'ri, I believe? |
| 76015 Your faith in others is a weakness; your faith in me crosses the line into foolhardiness. You know I tolerate you only so long as you are of use to me. |
| 76016 Faith in others is no weakness. What is your tolerance of my whimsical nature if not a sign of your faith in my continued value? |
| 76017 Then I shall endeavor to continue to be of use to you. |
| 76018 Likewise. |
| 76019 Freedom or power? But that's no choice at all. |
| 76020 That's the attitude that led you to Simmeon, to Ur-Gothoz... |
| 76021 Enough, <PRO_RACE>. You've made your point. |
| 76022 Then let's move on. Yarrow, I believe you were telling us about a tanar'ri? |
| 76023 Yet here you are at Resurrection Gorge. |
| 76024 I've my own reasons for that, half-orc. Do not presume that your presence here influences me in any way. Now, dryad. Continue with your tale. |
| 76025 I care not for your tone, but you may be my final chance to see the demon that afflicts us destroyed. |
| 76026 A sign of madness, I sometimes think. |
| 76027 A touch of madness may not be a bad thing where we're going. What more can you tell us of the gorge and this tanar'ri, Yarrow? |
| 76028 Your service is appreciated. |
| 76029 It's nice to feel appreciated. Now, Yarrow, tell us more about this tanar'ri. |
| 76030 Have a care, Dorn. I serve only myself, unlike some half-orcs I could mention. |
| 76031 Imply I'm your servant again and you won't appreciate what happens next. |
| 76032 Watch yourself, Bhaalspawn. |
| 76033 Ha! There's the <CHARNAME> I know. I wondered where <PRO_HESHE> had gotten to. But enough banter. Dryad, what more can you tell us of the tanar'ri and the gorge? |
| 76034 My tree's state is no memorial to events passed. |
| 76035 If you're of a mind, you can leave one when we complete our task. For now, we should focus on what awaits us. The summoning circle, dryad. Where is it? |
| 76036 Both I and my tree are dying. We hold the tanar'ri within the gorge at the cost of our own lives. Its malign influence is a disease, eating away at our bodies from within. |
| 76037 Well then, we shall have to cure the disease. |
| 76038 We'll get to the root of this problem. Root? Get it? |
| 76039 Better a quick death in battle than a slow crawl to an ignominious end. |
| 76040 Bold words. But words will serve you ill against a tanar'ri. |
| 76041 Rest assured, I'll have more than words to offer the demon. What more can you tell us of the gorge? |
| 76042 Words are the least I'll have to offer the demon. Can you help us get into the gorge? |
| 76043 The tanar'ri will fall, like all who oppose me. |
| 76044 You reek of violence and death, <PRO_RACE>. If you want more of it, I'll help you into the gorge. Given your taste, you should find it most accommodating. |
| 76045 Your wit is duller than a dwarf's hammer. The summoning circle. Where is it? |
| 76046 Life is a gift. I'll hold on to it as long as I may. |
| 76047 Better to live and crawl than to die for no reason. There's no way to know what end awaits until it arrives. |
| 76048 You surprise me, Dorn. I can't imagine you being satisfied dying in bed. |
| 76049 Life is the ultimate battle. I may not ultimately prevail, but I'll fight it to my dying breath regardless of where I take it. |
| 76050 But enough of this. We seek the circle of summoning. Where is it? |
| 76051 The circle of summoning lies within the great tree's bole. My advice to you is to go there as quickly as possible. The rest of the gorge holds naught but death. |
| 76052 Pray continue. |
| 76053 Who named this place "Resurrection Gorge"? 'Tis an ill fit for the reality within. |
| 76054 My hands hold naught but death for any that would stand against me. |
| 76055 We're not here for a history lesson. We're here for the circle and the sword. |
| 76056 Those things are unimportant compared to restoring the tree to its former glory and bringing balance back to the land. |
| 76057 I suspect finding them will be quicker and easier with Yarrow's help. Pray continue, Yarrow. |
| 76058 You're right, Dorn. Let's not waste our time with this dryad. |
| 76059 You'll find it difficult to enter the gorge without my help. |
| 76060 If there's one thing I try to avoid, it's difficulties. What more can you tell us of the gorge? |
| 76061 The fact that we're here should tell you we're not accustomed to doing things the easy way. |
| 76062 You'll find it difficult to breathe without any lungs. |
| 76063 I didn't say your way would be easyâ€â€far from it. But without me, you'll find your task nigh impossible. |
| 76064 Will you help us, then? |
| 76065 You'll find it difficult to threaten folks with your skull bashed in! |
| 76066 Pfah! Your sudden nobility sickens me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 76067 Suffer in silence, Dorn. Yarrow has much more to tell us, I'm sure. |
| 76068 Well said, <CHARNAME>. Nothing shall stand between us and the circle. |
| 76069 Bold words. I hope you have the strength to back them up. |
| 76070 Let there be no doubt as to our strength, dryad. |
| 76071 I don't doubt your strength, <PRO_RACE>. I cannot in truth say the same of your sanity or your wisdom. |
| 76072 At the base of the great tree are the remains of those who came before you. But there is no rest, no peace to be found in death, not in the gorge. Beware the bones of your predecessors lest yours join them. |
| 76073 You would have us fear bones? I'll grind them to powder with my teeth! |
| 76074 Stop interrupting the woman, Dorn. I apologize for my friend's enthusiasm, Yarrow. Is there anything more you can tell us of the gorge? |
| 76075 Ah! Suddenly I understand the sorry state of your breath. |
| 76076 Those who came before were too weak to survive the gorge. They failed in life; I'll not fear them in death. |
| 76077 Then you may well join them. |
| 76078 We shall see. Is that all you can tell us of what the gorge holds? |
| 76079 Make another remark of that nature and you'll also understand the sorry state of your breathing. |
| 76080 There's nothing wrong with my breathingâ€â€wait, I just got it. Never mind. Yarrow, continue. |
| 76081 You would threaten me, half-orc? |
| 76082 You would insult me, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 76083 I did but make a joke. |
| 76084 I do as I will. You should know better than to challenge me. |
| 76085 Those who joke at my expense will find they pay a steep price. |
| 76086 I'm sorry, my friend. I meant no offense. Please continue, Yarrow. |
| 76087 And you should know better than to insult a blackguard. |
| 76088 If you've a problem with my attitude... Well then, you've a problem. Deal with it on your own time; we've other matters to attend to right now. |
| 76089 When this is over, you and I will have words, <CHARNAME>. |
| 76090 I look forward to it. But for now, Yarrow, please go on. |
| 76091 I'll deal with your flippant tongue now, you impertinent dog! |
| 76092 Countless creatures make their home in the sunless southeast corner of the gorge. What isn't covered in fungi is streaked in slime, and vile creatures burrow beneath the earth. A veritable swarm of ankhegs hibernate beneath the soilâ€â€waking them would be ill-advised. |
| 76093 A clutch of faerie dragons nest in the northeast. If you encounter them, ask for the Great and Magnificent Filbert. He's the most sociable of the bunch and may be willing to assist you. In any event, I'm sure he'd be glad for the company. |
| 76094 As clean water still feeds the great tree, I can only assume my nereid friend Winterbrook yet lives. She guards a waterfall in the southwest corner of the gorge. She may be able to assist you in your quest, but be warnedâ€â€her time in the gorge has changed her. She was always fickle; when last we spoke, she barely knew her own mind. I fear for what's become of her. |
| 76095 At all times, you must be wary of the tanar'ri. It strikes without warning or mercy, its ebon blade cutting down all in its path. |
| 76096 That blade will be mine before this is done. |
| 76097 The blade or yer death, one or the other. |
| 76098 I'll help you only because you offer the slimmest hope that you'll be able to help me. |
| 76099 Know this: Once you enter the gorge, there will be no escape, not until the tanar'ri is slain. Vernus opened a portal; the demon slipped through, and you see the result before you. I will not make the same mistake. |
| 76100 I would never leave the job unfinished. |
| 76101 I once stayed at a hostel where you could check out any time you liked, but you could never leave. |
| 76102 You would sacrifice us? |
| 76103 Yet you must have escaped. |
| 76104 I escaped the fire that burnt the place to the ground. |
| 76105 It was a metaphor, Yarrow. The hostel is life. You see? |
| 76106 No hostel can hold <CHARNAME>. Nor do I fear Resurrection Gorge. |
| 76107 I must admit I don't. |
| 76108 ...Yeah. Me neither. It made sense when the bard explained it, but I was pretty drunk by that point. |
| 76109 If you're quite finished with your prattling, can we get on with this? The ebon blade calls out to me; I can hear it. |
| 76110 Play with fire in the gorge, and all will burn. You'll find the circle of little use to you then. |
| 76111 I wasn't suggesting anything, Yarrow. You asked how I escaped the hostel; I told you. |
| 76112 Enough talk! Let's be on our way. |
| 76113 Very well. |
| 76114 Your loss is hardly a sacrifice. Consider what I've lost already, limiting the demon's damage to the gorge. |
| 76115 You put your life on the line to contain the evil. We can do no less to destroy it. |
| 76116 It's nice to know where we stand in the scheme of things. Wait, no, it isn't. |
| 76117 I admire the singular focus of your obsession. You are not so different from Dorn and me. |
| 76118 Ice water runs through your veins. I admire the singular focus of your obsession. But the time for talk is over; I would enter the gorge. |
| 76119 Don't compare me to the half-orc. His motives are clearly selfish. |
| 76120 I may be selfish, but I'm no hypocrite. You allow us passage only because we might save your blighted lover. And you reward failure with certain death. You wrap your self-serving actions in noble words, but it all amounts to the same thing. |
| 76121 My mistress offers you passage into the gorge, and you repay her with insults! I beg you, mistress, reconsider. No good can come from allowing this scum to enter the gorge. |
| 76122 Your mistress has already made her decision, Treadsoft. Yarrow, if you'd be so kind as to help us into the gorge? |
| 76123 You missed your calling, Treadsoft. You would have made a great jester. |
| 76124 You may be right in that, Treadsoft, but I guarantee no good will come of trying to bar our way. |
| 76125 What's that supposed to mean? |
| 76126 Your mistress and her tree are on the verge of death, and with it the tanar'ri shall have its freedom. Yet you say no good can come from allowing us entry to the gorgeâ€â€a place already filled with darkness and death. In all sincerity, I ask you: How can we possibly make things worse? |
| 76127 I know not, but listening to your words and seeing your actions, I am certain you could find a way. And I don't trust you not to try. |
| 76128 Fortunately for us, the decision isn't yours to make. Yarrow, your servant has had his say. Will you listen to him and accept your near-certain death, or take your chances with us? |
| 76129 Through all the years of my affliction, Treadsoft has stood at my side, loyal and true. He has only my interests at heart, and so I must take his advice. I'm sorry, but I will not allow you to enter the gorge. |
| 76130 Treadsoft, you are a loyal and true friend. I understand your reluctanceâ€â€indeed, I share it. But this motley assortment may be our last hope to see the tanar'ri destroyed. |
| 76131 The tanar'ri can take you and your halfling toadie! Nothing shall stand between me and my destiny! |
| 76132 I will do as you command, mistress. But I don't have to like it. |
| 76133 I don't like it either. But we're out of options! |
| 76134 Speak for yourself, <CHARNAME>. I intend to walk out of the gorge aliveâ€â€and with greater power than any I've wielded before. |
| 76135 An intention is the most common victim of reality, but I'm with you. We can prevail in our quest if we work together. |
| 76136 The best laid plans of gods and men often go awry. And frankly, our plan wasn't that well laid to begin with. |
| 76137 And I shall walk beside you. Yarrow, what is the way into the gorge? |
| 76138 More threats! I'll have your heart out for that, you wretch! |
| 76139 More threats? The gorge take you then, vile <PRO_RACE>! When I hear of your inevitable demise, I'll dance a jig, and that's a promise. |
| 76140 Yarrow. If you'd be so kind as to help us on our way? |
| 76141 We have a goal; if anything gets between us and it, we cut it to bloody ribbons. What more of a plan could we need? |
| 76142 I favor a more nuanced approach. |
| 76143 I'd prefer one that includes an option for running, if possible. |
| 76144 Best to keep things simple. Yarrow, how do we enter the gorge? |
| 76145 Nuance is for those who lack the strength to face their problems in a forthright manner. |
| 76146 There's more to life than obstacles and goals, Dorn. Sometimes you've got to stop and smell the roses. |
| 76147 Your "forthright manner" generally involves shedding someone's blood. There's some room in this life we've chosen for finesse, you know. |
| 76148 The gorge is no place for the weak. |
| 76149 Stop and smell the... Have you taken leave of your senses, <CHARNAME>? We stand on the edge of Resurrection Gorge! This is no time to stop and reflect on meaningless distractions! |
| 76150 I fear this is the last time we shall have to reflect. |
| 76151 Hah! I got you going, didn't I? You're right, of course. It's time we got this show on the road. Or in the gorge, as the case may be. |
| 76152 You are right, of course. |
| 76153 For all our sakes, I hope you're right. Are you ready to enter the gorge now? |
| 76154 Yes. |
| 76155 Not really. |
| 76156 No. |
| 76157 Cowardice ill-becomes you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 76158 Don't mistake wisdom for cowardice, Dorn. |
| 76159 It becomes me better than death, I think. I've heard enough about the gorge to know it's a place I'd rather not visit. |
| 76160 Keep talking and you'll see how death becomes you, Dorn. |
| 76161 I thought I'd face my death in the gorge, not just outside it. |
| 76162 Let's hope we won't face it at all, at least not any time soon. Yarrow, we would enter the gorge. |
| 76163 You won't face your death at all, today. We're leaving. |
| 76164 You face your death wherever and whenever you cross me, Dorn. Don't forget that. |
| 76165 I'll let my blade do my talking! |
| 76166 So what do we do now? Would you have us turn our backs on the gorge after coming all this way, or finish what we began? |
| 76167 Let's finish this. Yarrow, we want to enter the Gorge. Will you help us? |
| 76168 I've lost my appetite for this adventure. The gorge can wait for another day. |
| 76169 The only mistake I've made is taking you for a person of strength, <CHARNAME>. |
| 76170 Your inability to see my strength is your weakness. |
| 76171 Let's hope that's the worst mistake you make today. |
| 76172 Would you like to feel my strength firsthand, Dorn? |
| 76173 I'd see your strength used to take the tanar'ri's sword. |
| 76174 And you shall. |
| 76175 If that is your wish, I shall happily oblige! |
| 76176 I see clearly, <CHARNAME>, which is more than can be said for you. |
| 76177 This is an argument we can have another day. On this venture, time is not our ally. |
| 76178 I can help you with that. |
| 76179 Simply step upon the branch and the great tree will deliver you to your fate. |
| 76180 Are you ready to enter the gorge, <CHARNAME>? |
| 76181 Not really. |
| 76182 I understand. It's not a decision to be made lightly. |
| 76183 I'll need to think on this. |
| 76184 I've come this far. It'd be a shame to turn back now... |
| 76185 At last! The moment is at hand! |
| 76186 Wait. Something's not right here... The circle isn't complete. It's not complete! |
| 76187 What's missing? |
| 76188 How is that possible? |
| 76189 The hag Azothet has betrayed us! |
| 76190 The circle should contain more summoning stones. |
| 76191 They can't have gone far. Yarrow's let nothing escape the gorge since the demon broke free. |
| 76192 Looks like it's missing one, two... three of them. |
| 76193 It appears Azothet has led you astray. |
| 76194 Perhaps the corpse can tell us where to find them. |
| 76195 Curse me for a fool! Azothet betrayed me! |
| 76196 Calm yourself, Dorn. There are other possibilities. |
| 76197 Curse me for a fool. I followed you into this place. |
| 76198 It certainly looks that way. |
| 76199 Such as? |
| 76200 The gorge is far from empty. Any number of creatures could have purloined the stones. |
| 76201 Hrmm. You may be right. |
| 76202 And if I am? If one or more of the inhabitants of the gorge have the missing stones? |
| 76203 You blame me for this? |
| 76204 I blame no one but myself for the messes I get in. |
| 76205 I would if I didn't think doing so would earn me a sword through the gut. |
| 76206 Who else would I blame? Ur-Gothoz? Azothet? They didn't bid me join them on a fool's errand. |
| 76207 We'll get nowhere quarreling amongst ourselves. We must explore the gorgeâ€â€find the missing stones. |
| 76208 Agreed. It's not like leaving's an option at this point. |
| 76209 Nor did they bid you die on one, but die you shall! |
| 76210 It's possible Azothet didn't deliberately send us to our doom. |
| 76211 Anything's possible. |
| 76212 You choose a wise course. |
| 76213 Better late than never. |
| 76214 I never trusted the crone... But there are other possibilities. |
| 76215 Perhaps the tanar'ri took the stones to prevent itself from being forced back into the Abyss. |
| 76216 Other creatures make their home in this vile pit. Maybe they can help us? |
| 76217 Either that, or some of the other things down here got hold of them. |
| 76218 That's what I'd do. |
| 76219 As would I. |
| 76220 It appears we must find the tanar'ri. |
| 76221 We'll make them help us. |
| 76222 Let's try asking them first. |
| 76223 If they refuse us, they will die. |
| 76224 Your understanding of the correct application of power is admirable. |
| 76225 There's much to admire about me. |
| 76226 When you've got it, flaunt it over the heads of your enemies until they're lying in battered and bloody heaps. |
| 76227 As is yours. Let's introduce this pit to its new masters. |
| 76228 The stones must still be here somewhere. |
| 76229 Yarrow would never let them leave. |
| 76230 Very well. We'll scour every inch of this gorge till we find the stones. |
| 76231 We could just find the tanar'ri, kill it, and leave. |
| 76232 Sounds like fun. |
| 76233 An impossible task. There must be an easier way. |
| 76234 If you insist, we'll let them think they have a choice. But one way or another, I will have the answers I seek. |
| 76235 It's not like we've any other option. |
| 76236 What you say is true. And also terribly depressing. Well, let's get on with it, then. |
| 76237 Hah! I admire your spirit, <CHARNAME>. You make good company for one such as me. |
| 76238 The gorge awaits. |
| 76239 And lose my chance to rid myself of Ur-Gothoz? No. We'll find the tanar'ri and take its stygian blade, to be sure. But only for use in the ritual. |
| 76240 This fool's quest of yours will be both our ends. |
| 76241 Well said. I knew you'd see it my way. |
| 76242 I see it our way. Let's waste no more time in this place. |
| 76243 You'll see how foolish my quest is when we've got the summoning stones and the abyssal blade. |
| 76244 I can't wait. Let's go see what the gorge has to offer us. |
| 76245 I may be on a fool's quest, but your fool's tongue has sealed your doom! |
| 76246 Who has summoned me back to the plane of the living? |
| 76247 I am <CHARNAME>, and I need your help. |
| 76248 We've summoned you back to Resurrection Gorge. I'm not sure that counts as living. |
| 76249 It's who can send you back you need to concern yourself with now, druid. |
| 76250 Your circle is incomplete, druid. Where are the summoning stones? |
| 76251 You have my thanks. I am Vernus. How may I be of service? |
| 76252 Dorn? |
| 76253 I seek your missing summoning stones. |
| 76254 I'll get back to you on that. |
| 76255 If you wish to continue breathing, you'll tell me where to find the stones to complete your summoning circle. |
| 76256 Who are you? Who comes here to my place of power and threatens me? |
| 76257 I am <CHARNAME>. I seek your missing summoning stones. |
| 76258 You do realize that until a few seconds ago, you'd been lying dead in your "place of power," don't you? |
| 76259 My name is <CHARNAME>. If you dislike threats, we can dispense with making them and move straight to fulfilling them. |
| 76260 Yes, all right, I'll admit it: My place of power isn't all it used to be. Nevertheless, it's rude to threaten someone in the place of their working. |
| 76261 I apologize. I merely sought to get you focused on the matter at hand. |
| 76262 I could be ruder still if you don't tell me what I wish to know. |
| 76263 Which is? |
| 76264 We have need of your circle. Unfortunately, it's currently missing several summoning stones. |
| 76265 I'll answer any question if it'll help me be rid of you. |
| 76266 I've died once already. I'll not be cowed by you! |
| 76267 Then return to the Hell from whence you came! |
| 76268 Who are you? Why have you come here? |
| 76269 I'm <CHARNAME>. I'm here to help a friend. |
| 76270 Good questions. The answers, not so much. |
| 76271 We seek the stones. Tell us where they are, or you'll regret ever leaving whatever inferno we pulled you from. |
| 76272 The stones...? |
| 76273 Don't play games with me, druid. Where are the stones of summoning? |
| 76274 Explain yourself. |
| 76275 You may call me <CHARNAME>. We came in search of your circle of summoning. Unfortunately, it's a few stones short of functional at the moment. |
| 76276 Would that I could. Looking around, I can think of no satisfactory explanation for why I allowed myself to be dragged to this place. |
| 76277 You would make demands of <CHARNAME>? Count yourself lucky you are yet of use to me, druid. And pray that remains the case, for your own sake. |
| 76278 You came here willingly, <CHARNAME>. No one put a sword to your throat. |
| 76279 I came here willingly, and I'll leave the same wayâ€â€the sooner, the better. Now, druid, where can we find the circle's stones? |
| 76280 I sort of wish someone had. Then I'd have an excuse. |
| 76281 I came here seeking power and fortune. Thus far, I've been disappointed. |
| 76282 Who are you, and what do you want? |
| 76283 My name is <CHARNAME>. I want the summoning stones. Where are they? |
| 76284 I share your disappointment, but trust our current circumstances are but a fleeting setback. Now, druidâ€â€where are the summoning stones? |
| 76285 Summoning stones...? Oh yes, it's coming back to me now... |
| 76286 What do you recall? |
| 76287 Excellent. I'd hate to think we'd wasted a good resurrection for nothing. |
| 76288 Tell us where we can find the stones, druid. |
| 76289 I'd think restoring a good man's life would be its own reward. |
| 76290 It is, but all our lives are in peril while a tanar'ri stalks the gorge. |
| 76291 I'll sleep well tonight knowing we helped you. But I'll sleep even better if we bring our business here to a rapid conclusion and get out of this thrice-damned hellhole. |
| 76292 Think again. Where are the summoning stones? |
| 76293 It's still here? |
| 76294 Yarrow and her tree kept it from escaping. |
| 76295 It must be stopped! |
| 76296 The sooner you tell us where the stones are, the sooner we can deal with the monster. |
| 76297 I made the circle to gain entry to the Beastlands, but... something went wrong. Instead, I found myself connected to the Abyss! |
| 76298 What did you do? |
| 76299 I hate it when that happens. |
| 76300 I care not how you died, druid. Just tell us where to find the summoning stones. |
| 76301 He died. |
| 76302 Obviously. But he might have done something between opening the portal and dying. |
| 76303 And what if he did? All that matters now is where we can find the stones. |
| 76304 We'll find them faster if you let him finish his story. Go on, druid. |
| 76305 I tried to close the portal, but like the wind, a demon was upon me. In my final seconds, I had to choose: Slay my killer, or close the circle. |
| 76306 You couldn't allow the Abyss unfettered access to our realm. |
| 76307 A difficult choice. |
| 76308 I would have slain the demon who took my life. |
| 76309 And leave countless demons with access to this world? |
| 76310 The Abyss take the world. I'd have my vengeance. |
| 76311 The Abyss take you both! Enough storiesâ€â€tell us where we can find the stones! |
| 76312 Of course not. Can you imagine the carnage? |
| 76313 Not so difficult. What does my life matter when a world's fate hangs in the balance? |
| 76314 When you put it that way, there really is no other choice. |
| 76315 Your experience of the world may be somewhat different than mine. |
| 76316 I guess some lives are worth more than others. I'd not let my death go unavenged, regardless of the cost. |
| 76317 Really? You'd take your revenge no matter the cost? |
| 76318 You'd have your revenge, regardless of the cost? |
| 76319 I'm not here to discuss hypothetical situations. Tell me of the stones. |
| 76320 Surely not so different that you'd let it burn? |
| 76321 The stones still hold some of the working's power. I can sense them within the gorge. |
| 76322 So they're all still here. Good. Can you tell us where? |
| 76323 Could you be a little more specific? Or a lot more specific. More specific, anyway. That would be good. |
| 76324 We already know they're in the gorge. Tell us where, damn you! |
| 76325 Patience, my friend... |
| 76326 My apologies. I'm anxious to be free of this place. |
| 76327 I've patience aplenty. |
| 76328 We're no friends, and I've no patience. Tell us the location of the stones, or on this poisoned tree's life, I swear I'll see you back to the netherworld! |
| 76329 Go aheadâ€â€I'll meet you pigs there soon enough! |
| 76330 Tell us where we can find the stones, druid, or I'll return you to the Hell from whence you came! |
| 76331 Dorn here is clearly another matter. |
| 76332 The stones are strewn about the gorge. One can be found behind Winterbrook's fall; the dragons hold another. But most are in the tanar'ri's clutches. |
| 76333 We knew we'd have to face the demon at some point. |
| 76334 I'm really starting to dislike this place. |
| 76335 Not for long. |
| 76336 You'll have to find it first. It's invisible. |
| 76337 That shouldn't be a problem. |
| 76338 That could be a problem. |
| 76339 Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be? |
| 76340 Leave that to us. |
| 76341 A more dangerous, deadly creature than a glabrezu you'll never meetâ€â€at least not if you're lucky. |
| 76342 If it bleeds, we can kill it. |
| 76343 You should have seen the gorge before I made my one tragic error. The great tree standing watch over the land, my mother and I doing our works, Yarrow and Treadsoft dancing in its branches. Ah! What horror I have wrought! |
| 76344 Be at peace, my friend. We'll set things right. |
| 76345 A pretty extensive one, I'm afraid. |
| 76346 A worthy one, if it furnishes what I desire. |
| 76347 I am a fool... and Resurrection Gorge has paid the price. |
| 76348 Calm yourself. The tree can still be restored. You'll see. |
| 76349 Yeah, pretty much. |
| 76350 Your wailing changes nothing, druid. Accept your folly and move on. |
| 76351 Curse me! Curse me thrice and thrice again! My ego has doomed this place, and the world will surely follow. |
| 76352 Take heart, druid. We shall do everything in our power to ensure the tanar'ri's reign of terror ends before that happens. |
| 76353 Cheer up. The only thing my ego's ever doomed is my prospects for a happy, contented future. |
| 76354 Hah! Even now your ego gets away from you. The world's fate is in our hands now, not yours. |
| 76355 Would that I could die a thousand times! I deserve no better! |
| 76356 You've already died once; that is more than enough. Rest now; we'll return with the summoning stones, or not at all. |
| 76357 That's a little harsh. |
| 76358 You'll die a second time if you don't shut your blubbering mouth, you mewling wretch. |
| 76359 A pox upon my mother's womb! May it blacken and fester for nurturing the scourge who would bring Resurrection Gorge to such ruin! |
| 76360 Come now, friend. Think bright thoughts, hold on to your memories of the good times. They will come again, I promise you. |
| 76361 There's really no reason to bring your mother into this, is there...? |
| 76362 A pox upon you and your mother both! I'll hear no more of your infernal whining! |
| 76363 May my father and grandfather burn in eternal torment for providing the seed that sprouted into the vines that drag this place down... tainting the great tree with the shadow of the Abyss! |
| 76364 Okay, we're going to be going now. Have a nice day. |
| 76365 I weary of this druid. Come, <CHARNAME>. The sooner we collect the stones, the sooner we can be free of this place. |
| 76366 Eh? Who is it? Who goes there, in the shadows beyond Winterbrook's stream, eh? Tell me, tell me now! |
| 76367 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 76368 Many things go over here. I'm just one of them. |
| 76369 You may call me <CHARNAME>. I seek the stones of summoning. |
| 76370 Whoever goes there is now going elsewhere. |
| 76371 What's that? Tell me that, why don't you? What is it, and what's it doing oh so close to the glittering water's edge? |
| 76372 I am a <CHARNAME>, and I seek some stones. |
| 76373 Just one? Just one with some others, yes? I see them there in the shadows with you. What are you, eh? Why are you here? |
| 76374 My name is <CHARNAME>. I'm here looking for some stones. |
| 76375 We're on a tour of Awful Places of Amn, and Resurrection Gorge is the latest stop. |
| 76376 I am here for the summoning stones. Give them to me, or you'll find out exactly what I am. |
| 76377 The latest and the last you'll seeâ€â€you'll see! You should never have come here; you never, never should have! |
| 76378 The nereid's mind is broken. We've no time for this nonsense. |
| 76379 She may yet be able to help us. |
| 76380 You're right. Perhaps she'll be more forthcoming some other time. |
| 76381 Oh, I know what you are, fish. What are you doing? Get back in your pool before you drown on the air. |
| 76382 Oh! Oh, little fishies, dancing and dying and never knowing why. |
| 76383 You poor creature. You must have suffered greatly. |
| 76384 Nodding and listening and never knowing why is more like it. Do you know anything about the stones of summoning? |
| 76385 Cease your babbling, waterwitch. Tell me where I can find the stones, or pay the price. |
| 76386 I'll gut you like a fish! |
| 76387 You'll find no stones where you're going, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 76388 Hah! Broken! Live trapped by shadows with only water for company! That and a tanar'ri, and that's worse than no company at all. See how you fare. |
| 76389 You poor creature. You must have suffered greatly. |
| 76390 I'd rather not, if it's all the same to you. If you give us the stones of summoning, we can help rid the gorge of the demon. |
| 76391 Wretched waterwitch! Your weakness sickens me. |
| 76392 Oh, greatly, yes, how greatly I've suffered. You have no idea. |
| 76393 We're here to help you. We need the stones of summoning. Can you help us? |
| 76394 Listening to you, I think I've some idea. |
| 76395 I'd love to hear all about it, except I've got a pot of stew simmering elsewhere and must attend to it. |
| 76396 Tell us what you know of the stones or you'll learn what true suffering is! |
| 76397 Give us the stones, nereid. |
| 76398 We've wasted enough time with this nereid's drivel. Where can we find the stones? |
| 76399 The thoughts, they run through my mind like water through cracks in stone, always moving, always, always... |
| 76400 I'll be moving myself, I think. |
| 76401 Speaking of stones... |
| 76402 Your endless burbling wearies me, nereid. Where can I find the summoning stones? |
| 76403 I know of stones, many stones; my stream smooths them out, you see? Don't touch them though, oh don't touch themâ€â€the water is clear, but it's ice beneath the surface. It eats fingers, yes, it does. |
| 76404 I'm looking for specific stones. Ones taken from a summoning circle in the bole of yon tree. |
| 76405 I've no wish to cross your stream. I only want the summoning stones. |
| 76406 You think your water's cold? Dorn's blade will be as an icicle in your guts if you don't stop talking in circles. |
| 76407 Ah. Those stones. |
| 76408 Yes. Do you know where I might find them? |
| 76409 Those very stones. We'd give much to know where they are. Can you help us? |
| 76410 Indeed. Hand them over or pay the price. |
| 76411 I know where you might find one, but only if you looked in the right place. |
| 76412 What place would that be? |
| 76413 Having looked in a number of wrong places and found nothing, I believe you. |
| 76414 Tell me where it is, or I swear what I do to you will make you look on what you've endured these past months with longing and affection. |
| 76415 Tell us where to find the stones, or I swear your stream will run warm and red with your blood! |
| 76416 You'd better tell him, Winterbrook. You've suffered enough in this cursed place. I'd not see you endure more. |
| 76417 Do nereids bleed red? |
| 76418 Listen to the half-orc, nereid. My patience is at an end. |
| 76419 What do you know of patience, eh? I've lived the water's width from a tanar'ri for days, months, years, yes, years, and do you hear me complain? |
| 76420 You would have, oh yes, you would, if you'd been here days, months, years, but no, where were you? Pfah! Your patience is a joke, a cruel joke, and nothing more in this place. |
| 76421 You won't be laughing at the end of this joke. |
| 76422 You should have given us the stones, nereid. You've brought this on yourself! |
| 76423 In a moment, you'll have an answer! |
| 76424 Trembling I am, trembling with fear. Oh, what terrible fate will befall me at your hands? |
| 76425 She mocks us, <CHARNAME>. You cannot allow this insolence to go unpunished. |
| 76426 Nor shall I. |
| 76427 There is no place under the water, not for you, not for stonesâ€â€no, no safe place. But behind the water, ah, that is another tale. |
| 76428 There's a summoning stone behind the waterfall? |
| 76429 And a lovely tale I'm sure it is. Tell me more of the stone's adventures in this sanctuary you speak of. |
| 76430 When I'm of a mind to listen to a madwoman's tale, I shall return. |
| 76431 Enough! I'll waste no more time listening to a madwoman's nonsense. |
| 76432 Finally! |
| 76433 ...Are you mocking me? Me, the keeper of the stone in a safe place behind the water? |
| 76434 No, not at all. I only want to know where to find the stone. |
| 76435 Never! I save my mockery for those who can appreciate it. |
| 76436 Where is the stone, madwoman? |
| 76437 It's someplace safe. I'll say no more on that, no, nothing more. |
| 76438 Please, Winterbrook. Without the stones, we'll not be able to restore the tree. |
| 76439 What safe place can there be in Resurrection Gorge? You must give us the stone, before it's too late. |
| 76440 It's not the stone's safety that you should be concerned with now. |
| 76441 This discussion makes a mockery of our quest. Where is the stone, woman? |
| 76442 I mistrust your face. The stone is safe where it is, yes, it is, and there where it is is where it will stay. |
| 76443 There is no safe place in Resurrection Gorge, Winterbrook. Yarrow and the great tree are dying. We need the stone to save them. |
| 76444 I understand completely. Dorn, could you please... do something about your face? |
| 76445 Last chance, nereid. Hand over the stone or pay the price. |
| 76446 What stones summon things? What a silly idea. I have no idea what you're talking about, none. No, I don't, I don'tâ€â€DON'T CROSS MY STREAM! |
| 76447 I've no wish to cross your stream. The stones I seek were taken from a circle in the great tree. |
| 76448 I wouldn't dream of it. This place is miserable enough with dry feet. |
| 76449 I'll cross your stream if I wish, nereid. Give me the stones taken from the bole of yon tree and I'll have no reason to get my feet wet. |
| 76450 'Twasn't always so. Wouldn't be so now, no, it wouldn't if not for Vernus, the self-important twerp. Once it was beautiful, yes, it was green and blue and brown and a variety of different shades of green, more than I could count. |
| 76451 As it once was, it can be again, if you give us the stones. |
| 76452 There were four shades of green, then? |
| 76453 Your incessant babbling wearies me, nereid. Hand over the stones. |
| 76454 There were seven greens at least; I can recall them clearly. Maybe more, maybe. It was so so so long ago... |
| 76455 The gorge can be restored, Winterbrook. We can do it if you just give us the stones. |
| 76456 Give us the stones and I promise you the gorge will be home to at least nine shades of green. Come now, you can't beat that offer. |
| 76457 Enough prattling. Give us the stones or I'll take your head in their place. |
| 76458 I can help, yes, I can; I can help you across my stream or under it if that thing DOESN'T STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT. |
| 76459 Dorn, please. |
| 76460 Forgive my friend. He ate a lemon once and never forgave it. |
| 76461 He'll do more than look at you if you don't give us the stone. |
| 76462 What? I'm looking at her like I would anything else. |
| 76463 Exactly. It's unnerving. |
| 76464 Well, where would you have me look? |
| 76465 Elsewhere. Just let me talk to Winterbrook for a moment or two. |
| 76466 You'll have me closing my eyes next. |
| 76467 Hopefully, it won't come to that. Winterbrook, you were telling us about the summoning stones? |
| 76468 Not me, not I, not the stonesâ€â€no, no, no, not the stones. |
| 76469 Hand them over? Hand *them* over? I can't do that; no, I can't; I won't because I can't. |
| 76470 Ice melts, blood dries, but steel is eternal! |
| 76471 Is that supposed to be a threat? Really, I've lived the water's width away from a tanar'ri, <PRO_RACE>. Its menace is blunt and to the point, which is also blunt, while your words slither and slide. |
| 76472 Threaten you? Never. I am a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of peace. I seek only to save the great tree and restore Resurrection Gorge to its former splendor. |
| 76473 Yes, that was a threat. Give us the stone or die. |
| 76474 I don't believe you, no, I don't, not you with your boots and your ears and your twin noses. |
| 76475 Well, you can't say I didn't try. Perhaps I'll try again later. |
| 76476 Please, Winterbrook. Without the stone, Resurrection Gorge is doomed. |
| 76477 I don't believe you, no, I don't, not you with your boots and your ears and your half-orc servant. |
| 76478 Servant? |
| 76479 Please, Winterbrook. Without the stone, Resurrection Gorge is doomed. |
| 76480 I'll admit, any picture with Dorn in it will not be a portrait of the entirely trustworthy. But in this instance, I beseech you, for your and the sake of all who live in or near the gorge, please, give us the stone. |
| 76481 What you believe is irrelevant. We need the stone. Give it to us or I'll let Dorn have his way with you. |
| 76482 I don't believe you. You have no gills, which I find extremely suspicious. |
| 76483 Please, Winterbrook. Without the stone, Resurrection Gorge is doomed. |
| 76484 And you have no mind, which I find less than useful. |
| 76485 What you believe is irrelevant. We need the stone. Give it to us or your wits will become the least of the things you've lost. |
| 76486 Resurrection Gorge lives its doom with each passing day and night and day, passing night again to day. Like that. |
| 76487 It could be worse, Winterbrook. It will be worse if we don't complete the circle and restore the tree. To do that, we need the summoning stone. |
| 76488 You call this a doom? Lady, you haven't seen anything yet. |
| 76489 You'll see no more days pass if you don't give us the stone. |
| 76490 You say it could be worse, worse still than this? I don't believe you, can't believe you, don't believe, won't... believe. |
| 76491 What's happened here is just the beginning. The Abyss's influence will spread across the world if we don't stop it now, and to do that, we need the summoning stone. |
| 76492 In my experience, there's only one certainty: Things can always get worse. Help us help you: Give us the stone. |
| 76493 You don't need to believe it. I'll prove it to you. |
| 76494 You'd bless me with an end to my time in this accursed place? Oh, thank you, thank you, <PRO_RACE>, I knew you'd help save me from the shadows. |
| 76495 We will save you, Winterbrook. But to do so, we need the stone. |
| 76496 The saving I have in mind is a little less extreme and a lot less painful. Tell you what: Give me the stone, and let me try to restore the tree. If I fail, I promise we'll come back here afterwards and kill you. |
| 76497 Dorn, bless this nereid. |
| 76498 Promise? |
| 76499 If that is your wish when I return, then yes, I promise. |
| 76500 This offer comes with <CHARNAME>'s personal guarantee. You can take it to the moneylender. |
| 76501 If we fail, I promise to return and kill you. I've half a mind to return and kill you even if we succeed. |
| 76502 Moneylender? What is that? |
| 76503 Count yourself lucky you don't need to know. Now, the stone? |
| 76504 It's a bit like a mortal tanar'ri, only with less of a conscience or sense of mercy. |
| 76505 It's a wise man or woman. Now, give me the summoning stone. |
| 76506 It sounds horrific. |
| 76507 It is. Now I believe you were going to hand over the summoning stone? |
| 76508 It's happy where it is. It doesn't want to go back to the circle, no, it doesn't; no one, nothing does; no, I don't either. Never cross the stream, never again, not with the shadows watching. |
| 76509 If we're to save the gorge, it must be returned to the circle. |
| 76510 Hey, you think I want to go back in there? No. But we don't always get what we want. |
| 76511 What the stone wants is irrelevant |
| 76512 You want me to betray the stone? |
| 76513 I want you to help me save the gorge. |
| 76514 I think if you talk to the stone, I mean really talk to it, you'll find it's willing to risk its well-being for the gorge's sake. |
| 76515 I want the stone. Hand it over, or die in this dismal hole. |
| 76516 Have you lost your mind, <CHARNAME>? Are you truly going to argue with this madwoman over the preferences of an inanimate object? |
| 76517 He's got a point, Winterbrook. We need the stone to save the gorge. Will you help us? |
| 76518 No. I'm done talking. |
| 76519 It's behind the waterfall. But you'll never get it, no you won't no you won't. |
| 76520 I need you to get it for us. |
| 76521 I'm afraid we need the stone, Winterbrook. If the cost is getting our hands wet, it's one we're willing to pay. |
| 76522 I'll have that stone, nereid. Give it to me now, or worms will feast on your corpse. Actually, scratch thatâ€â€wyrms will feast on your corpse. Much scarier! |
| 76523 Why would I want to do that? I don't think I would; no, I don't, I can't, I won't, I can't. |
| 76524 We need the stone to restore the tree and save Yarrow. |
| 76525 I'm sure if you gave it a little thought, you could come up with a half-dozen good reasons to give us the stone. |
| 76526 Let me explain why you'd want to do that. You want to live. |
| 76527 I'll not betray the stone, no, I won't. It's safe behind the water; it must stay there where it's safe. |
| 76528 There's no place safe in the gorge, not while the circle lies incomplete. You must give us the stone, Winterbrook. Please. |
| 76529 I'm not asking you to betray the stone. Talk to it, I'm sure it'll understand that it is all that stands between the gorge and a dire fate. |
| 76530 Then you've left me little choice. |
| 76531 Well... You claim you seek to restore the gorge. And you may have the strength to do it. You entered the gorge willingly, which would make you heroes or fools, and even a fool can be a hero in the right circumstances. And the stone knows its place is in the circle, as much as it would rather stay safe behind the waters. And your half-orc friend clearly intends to take the stone by force if necessaryâ€â€I don't fear death, but he has the look of one familiar with things worse than death. And my options are limited. |
| 76532 No. The circle complete brings only doom. Vernus proved that. |
| 76533 Vernus made a mistake. We can correct it, if you'll help us. Please, give us the stone. |
| 76534 The circle incomplete will doom more than Resurrection Gorge. Yarrow and the tree are dying. |
| 76535 You think the circle brings doom? Fool! <CHARNAME>, that is who brings doom. |
| 76536 They are? |
| 76537 I tell you they will die if we don't complete the circle. |
| 76538 Have you seen the tree recently? Big old thing, bent and twisted by malevolent magic? It's right over there, kind of hard to miss. |
| 76539 I'll kill the bloody tree myself if you don't hand over the stones. |
| 76540 Your tongue lies like frost on a cold winter's morning, which is to say it's chilly and you wouldn't want to lick it, though how you'd lick your own tongue I'm not sure. |
| 76541 My blade grows uneasy in its sheath, <CHARNAME>. How much longer are we going to indulge this madwoman's lunacy? |
| 76542 Please, Winterbrook. We need your help. Give us the stone. |
| 76543 No longer. My patience with you is at an end, nereid. |
| 76544 You can try and take the stone, but the falls take fingers. |
| 76545 Then I beseech you, please, for the sake of the place you've made your home, to see it restored to its former majesty, give us the stone. |
| 76546 That's a risk Dorn's willing to take. |
| 76547 I'll take your life first, waterwitch! |
| 76548 I like my fingers where they are. If that changes, you'll see me again. |
| 76549 Curse you, <CHARNAME>! |
| 76550 Very well, I'll get it... but you must promise, you must promise me that you'll keep it safe. |
| 76551 The tanar'ri wants it, wants them all for itself. |
| 76552 Promise me, <PRO_RACE>. Promise me you'll keep it safe. |
| 76553 We'll do what we can, Winterbrook. I promise. You have my thanks for your assistance. |
| 76554 It's as safe with us as anywhere in this pit of woe, I can promise you that. |
| 76555 I make no promises, nereid. The stone is part of a greater game; should the need arise, I'll not hesitate to sacrifice it. |
| 76556 Never! Never ever, not ever, and never again! The stone stays where it is, where it's safe, where it's happy, and that's all there is; there's nothing more. |
| 76557 Please, Winterbrook. Be reasonable. |
| 76558 If it's truly in a safe place, can I join it? The gorge has left me feeling exposed. |
| 76559 Then pay the price for your intransigence. |
| 76560 "Be reasonable"? You're pathetic, <CHARNAME>. |
| 76561 The nereid's suffered much, but I believe there's still a spark of her former self that might be willing to assist us. |
| 76562 I've been called worse by better than you, Dorn. |
| 76563 Say that again, Dorn. Say it again and see what reward it gets you. |
| 76564 You do? |
| 76565 You seriously believe this wretched creature offers anything but frustration, obfuscation, and distraction? |
| 76566 Not really, no. |
| 76567 I believe she'll offer us what we want, one way or the other. Additionally, I'd like to say that the vocabulary book you picked up has really been making a difference. |
| 76568 But why? |
| 76569 I believe you care about this place, and will do what you can to help restore it. That means you will give us the summoning stone. |
| 76570 Call me an optimist. It's better than the other things I'm likely to be called. |
| 76571 Do you think I'm mad? Because now I am; I'm really angry at you with your lying tongue and its lies lying upon lies upon falsehoods! |
| 76572 Then why do you allow her to distract us from our goal? |
| 76573 I had hoped she might aid us in reaching it. |
| 76574 Hope springs eternal in the <PRO_RACE> breast. |
| 76575 She'll distract us no longer. |
| 76576 You must know there can be no reasoning with this madwoman. |
| 76577 That's no reason not to try. |
| 76578 You're right. Take your sword and talk some sense into her. |
| 76579 You're madder than she is if you think she'll willingly help us. |
| 76580 I seek only to prevent unnecessary bloodshedâ€â€either hers or ours. |
| 76581 I am here in the shadows of Resurrection Gorge, so there's certainly an argument to be made that that's the case. |
| 76582 Willingly or not, she will help us. Won't you, Winterbrook? |
| 76583 Enough of this pointless nonsense! If she won't hand over the stone, I'll simply have to take it! |
| 76584 "Unnecessary bloodshed"? What happened to you, <CHARNAME>? I believed you a being of strength and power, a worthy ally. Instead you play dither with fools. |
| 76585 It was your infatuation with strength and power that brought us here, Dorn. I may share your fate, but I'll not repeat your mistakes. |
| 76586 You'll see your belief justified with blood, half-orc! |
| 76587 You're right, Dorn. But the dithering is done. |
| 76588 Keep talking, <PRO_RACE>, and you'll experience a wholly different fate, I promise you that. |
| 76589 We'll deal with this another time. Winterbrook. The stone. We need it. |
| 76590 You'll not live to repeat the mistake you just made. |
| 76591 The glitter can take you and your threats, yes, it can. You've had all the help you'll have from me! |
| 76592 We'll see about that. Dorn? |
| 76593 You had your chance with <CHARNAME>, nereid. Now you'll see how Dorn Il-Khan deals with those who would stand 'twixt him and his goals. |
| 76594 Did you really, I mean really, really think that ruse would get you to the stone? |
| 76595 Of course not. 'Twas but a joke. |
| 76596 No ruseâ€â€if there's a safe place to be found in this hole, I'd be a fool not to want to be in it. |
| 76597 What I really think is that I'll have the stone, with or without your help. Dorn? |
| 76598 What you say makes sense; it does! |
| 76599 I'm glad you think so. |
| 76600 But there's no safe place for you in the gorge, not here in the shadows or behind the water. |
| 76601 I hate to tell you this, Winterbrook, but there's no safe place for anything in the gorge, and there never will be until the great tree is restored. |
| 76602 Then I'll have to get out of the gorge. Which means I need the stone. |
| 76603 Curse you, nereid! Give me the stone or I will take it. |
| 76604 Then you've got a problem, yes, you do, for the stone stays where it's safe behind the water. |
| 76605 I don't want to hurt you, Winterbrook. |
| 76606 There is no safe place for the stone. We will have it. Nothing can stop us. |
| 76607 And I'm supposed to believe you are the one who will do the restoring? |
| 76608 With your help, I will. |
| 76609 Fortunately, I've no such misgivings. |
| 76610 A joke? You waste our time telling jokes to this pathetic witch? |
| 76611 A joke...? I don't get it. |
| 76612 No great loss. It wasn't a very good joke. |
| 76613 And the part about wanting the summoning stones? Was that a joke too? |
| 76614 No. That part was serious. |
| 76615 Better than me? |
| 76616 I'll see your guts on the ground, <CHARNAME>. |
| 76617 Oh, you don't want to do that. The stream will have your toes, you'll see, and then you'll be sorryâ€â€you'll be sorry |
| 76618 The stream can have my toesâ€â€I'll have your head! |
| 76619 I'll make you sorry, you'll see! |
| 76620 No! You let the demon go, I know; I can smell its stench! No water can remove that stinkâ€â€there's not enough water in the world to cleanse you. |
| 76621 The deal we struck with the demon will see him leave you in peace, once we complete the circle. Will you help us? |
| 76622 Then we'll use soap. Give us the stone. |
| 76623 The tanar'ri gave us what we needed. You will do the same. |
| 76624 The glitter take your lying hides! You helped the tanar'ri; I'll not help you, no, I won't, I won't! |
| 76625 Please, Winterbrook. Be reasonable. |
| 76626 Then pay the price for your intransigence. |
| 76627 All right, all right, take the stone; take it and be off with you! You foul the air with your presence; any longer and you'll dirty my water, my glittering water. |
| 76628 Faerie dragons. This will be aggravating. |
| 76629 They're harmless. |
| 76630 Come on, they're cute. That one has a puffy tail! |
| 76631 You're right. Just looking at them gives me a headache. |
| 76632 Hey! We can hear you, you know. |
| 76633 I'm sorry. I didn't know you could understand the common tongue. |
| 76634 Faerie dragons can talk? |
| 76635 I hoped you could. |
| 76636 Hey! Hey, you! Yeah, you. Go away. You're not welcome here. |
| 76637 Would that we could. But before we can leave, we need to gather the stones of summoning. |
| 76638 That works for me. |
| 76639 Faerie dragons can talk? |
| 76640 All in good time. First, I'd have some words with your leader. |
| 76641 Of course we can talk. Obviously, we can talk. We're talking right now. You need to use your ears more. You could learn something. |
| 76642 I am <CHARNAME>. I'm searching for the stones of summoning taken from yon tree. |
| 76643 Who are you? |
| 76644 You need to use your mouth less, lest you learn something you'd rather not. |
| 76645 It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, <CHARNAME>. |
| 76646 The stones of summoning, hm? That's a tall order, whatever-your-name-is. |
| 76647 My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 76648 My name is unimportant. |
| 76649 Well, <CHARNAME>, I trust you're suitably mortified by your flagrant public display of ignorance. |
| 76650 I am. What is your name, dragon? |
| 76651 She's sleeping right now. Maybe I could help you. |
| 76652 Perhaps. I am <CHARNAME>. I seek the stones of summoning. |
| 76653 We'll return later, then. |
| 76654 And who are you? |
| 76655 I wouldn't advise it. She's not a big talker. |
| 76656 Very well. Maybe you can assist us. |
| 76657 We'll risk it. |
| 76658 I think she'll talk to us. |
| 76659 I don't think that's likely. |
| 76660 She's also been asleep for several months. |
| 76661 I see. Maybe you can help us. |
| 76662 With company like you, I can't imagine why. Farewell. |
| 76663 Then I suppose you will have to suffice. |
| 76664 That's the spirit! |
| 76665 What is your name, dragon? |
| 76666 Now you're talking like a solid fifty percent of the lady dragons around here! |
| 76667 I am <CHARNAME>. Whom do I have the privilege of addressing? |
| 76668 Who am I? Who are you? |
| 76669 I am <CHARNAME>. And you are...? |
| 76670 That is the question, isn't it? Who is anyone in this world, truly, and are they the same person once they enter Resurrection Gorge? |
| 76671 My name is unimportant. What matters is what I seek: the stones of summoning. |
| 76672 That's actually two questions, and one of them was rhetorical. I was really looking for something more in the vein of your name. |
| 76673 Oh. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 76674 Okay, I'm done with this. |
| 76675 Well, that shows what you know. |
| 76676 I trust you're suitably mortified by your flagrant public display of ignorance. |
| 76677 Consider me thoroughly chastised. I am <CHARNAME>. Who are you? |
| 76678 Well, that's just fabulous. Ugly, rude, and missing two legs. How you survive is beyond me. |
| 76679 What is your name, dragon? |
| 76680 Tell me yours first. |
| 76681 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 76682 I've no time for games. |
| 76683 No time for games? Doesn't sound like much of a life. |
| 76684 Oh, come on. I'll tell you mine. |
| 76685 Tell me yours first. |
| 76686 Very well. I am <CHARNAME>. And you are...? |
| 76687 As tantalizing an offer as that is, I believe I'll be going now. |
| 76688 No. |
| 76689 Please? |
| 76690 Fine. My name is <CHARNAME>. I'm searching for the stones of summoning taken from the great tree. |
| 76691 I won't waste my time with this silliness. |
| 76692 No, come back! I'll tell you my name. |
| 76693 Right after you tell me yours. |
| 76694 All right. If you must know, I am <CHARNAME>. I'm currently scouring the gorge trying to find the summoning stones missing from the great tree. |
| 76695 I'm not getting your name 'til I give you mine, am I? |
| 76696 We're done. |
| 76697 Not gonna happen, Bunky. That's what I'm gonna call you until you tell me your name, by the way. Bunky. |
| 76698 Please don't. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 76699 I can live with Bunky. |
| 76700 Excellent. And I shall call you "footwear." |
| 76701 Really? Your actual name must be terrible. |
| 76702 It's not so bad. |
| 76703 You have no idea. |
| 76704 You'll never know. |
| 76705 Then... w-what is it? |
| 76706 *sigh* Fine. It's <CHARNAME>. |
| 76707 Wouldn't you like to know? |
| 76708 Dragonslayer. |
| 76709 That's not so bad. It's not bad at all, really. <CHARNAME>. |
| 76710 But now I simply must know what name could possibly be so awful. |
| 76711 Very well. If you absolutely must, it's... <CHARNAME>. |
| 76712 You never will. |
| 76713 Die, dragon! |
| 76714 I'd say it's highly unlikely. |
| 76715 So be it. I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 76716 And you are? |
| 76717 I'll come back later. Much later. |
| 76718 Nice try. |
| 76719 It was worth a shot. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 76720 Is there anyone else here I can talk to? |
| 76721 Oh, sure. There are lots. |
| 76722 They probably won't talk back, though. They're a bit antisocial. |
| 76723 I see. Very well. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 76724 So it's you or nothing, is that it? |
| 76725 I'll risk it. |
| 76726 In a nutshell. Preferably a pistachio. I love pistachios. Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any pistachios on you, would you? |
| 76727 Why yes, I do. |
| 76728 THIS. IS. EXHAUSTING. Goodbye. |
| 76729 Really? |
| 76730 No. What was your name again? |
| 76731 I tell you mine if you tell me yours. |
| 76732 Fine. I'm <CHARNAME>. |
| 76733 I've got to go. |
| 76734 You'll be back. |
| 76735 That's what I'm afraid of. |
| 76736 Pity. |
| 76737 What was your name again? |
| 76738 Well, it was nice not meeting you. |
| 76739 You may call me the Great and Magnificent and Also Irresistibly Handsome Filbert! |
| 76740 It is a pleasure to meet you, Great and Magnificent and Also Irresistibly Handsome Filbert. |
| 76741 Do I have to? |
| 76742 Yeah, I'm not going to do that. Farewell. |
| 76743 What do you know of the summoning stones? |
| 76744 Call me Fil, please. |
| 76745 Gladly. |
| 76746 What do you want to know? |
| 76747 We need to gather them all to restore the great tree. |
| 76748 Where they are, mostly. And how to get them back in the summoning circle where they belong. |
| 76749 How I may obtain them. |
| 76750 Tricky. The stones are spread all over the gorge. Even the nereid has one, and she hardly ever crosses her stream. |
| 76751 Do you have any? |
| 76752 What? On me? |
| 76753 I mean can you get any? |
| 76754 Mmmaybe. Just one of them, though. What's it worth to you? |
| 76755 Getting me some crystals probably wouldn't hurt your effort. |
| 76756 How would I do that? |
| 76757 I'll see what I can do. |
| 76758 Neither would throttling a mouthy dragon. |
| 76759 No, see, that's where you're wrong. Kill me and you'll never find what you're looking for. |
| 76760 All right. Where can we find these crystals? |
| 76761 It's hidden that well, is it? |
| 76762 Right now all I seek is the satisfaction of watching you twist on my friend's sword. |
| 76763 Oh yes. You mightn't guess it to look at us, but faerie dragons are masters of concealment. |
| 76764 Very well. Where can I find these crystals? |
| 76765 I'm done wasting my time with you. |
| 76766 I'm pretty good at concealing things too. Want to see me hide a sword in a faerie dragon's body? |
| 76767 I'll strip the scales from your body, you featherless cockatiel! |
| 76768 So, what brings you to Resurrection Gorge? |
| 76769 Did I not mention the summoning stones? |
| 76770 It's what'll get us out of here that I'm concerned with. |
| 76771 I would find the stones of summoning. |
| 76772 From Vernus's circle in the great tree? Why? |
| 76773 My friend here is bound in service to a glabrezu. The circle will help him win his freedom. |
| 76774 It will allow us to restore Resurrection Gorge to its proper state. Will you help us? |
| 76775 Because that's the only way we'll be free from this pit. |
| 76776 Because there's power in the circle, and I would partake of that power. |
| 76777 Hey, that's my home you're talking about there. |
| 76778 Forgive me, Fil. I wasn't thinking. |
| 76779 And a dismal home it is. |
| 76780 I'll admit it isn't what it used to be, but there's no call for rudeness. I was considering helping you in your quest, but you can forget it now. |
| 76781 I am truly sorry, Fil. It's... a trying time. But that's no reason to insult your home. |
| 76782 Sorry, Fil. I calls 'em like I sees 'em. |
| 76783 If you refuse to help us, then there's no reason to let you live. Dorn? |
| 76784 Not to worry, <CHARNAME>. I realize this place isn't exactly welcoming for people like yourself. |
| 76785 Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. |
| 76786 We need to gather the stones of summoning if we're to escape the gorge. |
| 76787 Cease your endless blathering, <CHARNAME>! We're not here to discuss creature comforts with a dragon! We need to find the summoning stones! |
| 76788 That's hardly a comforting answer. |
| 76789 But it is an honest one. |
| 76790 Refuse us and you'll experience true discomfort, dragon. What do you know about the stones? |
| 76791 As it happens, I do know something of the stones. I'd be happy to help you... |
| 76792 From Vernus's circle in the great tree? I don't think so. |
| 76793 They're what brings us to the gorge. Or, more precisely, the circle they were part of does. |
| 76794 You could call me Fil, I suppose. Bit dull, though. |
| 76795 I shall call you Fil. |
| 76796 Oh, how I yearn for a dull life. |
| 76797 You've come to the wrong place for that, friend. |
| 76798 Well, hopefully it'll be more dull here when we complete the summoning circle in the tree. |
| 76799 Then I'll go find another. |
| 76800 We won't be here long. What do you know of the stones? |
| 76801 Stones? |
| 76802 The summoning stones. |
| 76803 Really...? |
| 76804 Fil will do nicely, I think. |
| 76805 All right. I guess that's all right. |
| 76806 It won't be easy to restore the circle. |
| 76807 Nothing here has been, but that is still what we plan to do. |
| 76808 Really? But everything up till this point has been sooo easy. |
| 76809 The acquisition of power is worth the effort. |
| 76810 Why would you want to? The circle's completion wasn't exactly a cause for celebration around these parts. |
| 76811 A terrible thing happened when the circle was first used. Worse awaits if we cannot fix it. |
| 76812 My friend here is bound in service to a glabrezu. The circle will help him win his freedom. |
| 76813 Tell me what you know about the stones. |
| 76814 Xachrimos? |
| 76815 Who? |
| 76816 The demon who stalks the gorge. Your friend is bound to it? |
| 76817 No. We've already slain the gorge's demon. |
| 76818 No. We've already dealt with the tanar'ri. |
| 76819 Actually, it's about the only demon Dorn doesn't follow. He's not exactly discriminating in his quest for ultimate power. |
| 76820 We shall be rewarded for it. |
| 76821 I hope you're right, Dorn. For both our sakes. |
| 76822 Your optimism is as impressive as it is inexplicable. |
| 76823 It better, Dorn. For your sake. |
| 76824 Your threats ring hollow in this place, <CHARNAME>. Let us do what we came here to do. If either of us are dissatisfied with the result, we can take the matter up then. |
| 76825 Agreed. Dragon, what do you know of the stones? |
| 76826 You go too far, <PRO_RACE>. Here is your reward! |
| 76827 What can you tell us of the summoning stones, dragon? |
| 76828 I will prevail against whatever this foul pit throws at us, of that I am certain. Can you not say the same, <CHARNAME>? |
| 76829 The only certainty I have is that I shall do my best to conquer the challenges ahead. |
| 76830 I can say many things, Dorn, but for now I'd rather listen to Fil tell us about the stones. |
| 76831 Your certainty is but a shadow of my own, Dorn. Nothing can thwart us, so long as we work together. |
| 76832 "I'll do my best"? Only cowards and failures talk like that. Which are you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 76833 Neither, at least not yet. But only a fool ignores the possibility of failure. |
| 76834 What you call cowardice and failure I call wisdom and survival, Dorn. |
| 76835 Draw your blade and find out, half-orc. |
| 76836 Hah! That's who I was looking forâ€â€someone worthy to share my victories. |
| 76837 Your greatest victory is yet to come, Dorn. Dragon, tell us what you know of the stones. |
| 76838 The greater fool dwells upon it. |
| 76839 We're neither of us fools. Dragon, do you know anything of the stones we seek? |
| 76840 You call me a fool? |
| 76841 Your faltering rationalizations sicken me, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 76842 No more than your pigheaded obstinacy sickens me, half-orc. |
| 76843 I have a cure for that particularly sickness. It's a bit radical, but you clearly have little use for your ears. |
| 76844 Keep talking, Bhaalspawn, and your sickness may come to an abrupt and bloody end. |
| 76845 I look forward to it, Dorn. But if you're not of a mind to play surgeon now, let us attend to the matter at hand. |
| 76846 That's no business of this dragon's or anyone else. |
| 76847 I'm sorry, Dorn, but I believe Fil here will respond best to forthrightness. |
| 76848 They're correct, Dorn. I value honesty above all else, with the possible exception of pistachios. |
| 76849 So will you help us? |
| 76850 How much honesty could buy us some summoning stones? Or at least where we may find them? |
| 76851 You value honesty? Then I offer you this valuable: Tell us where to find the summoning stones, or Dorn's next meal will have dragon as its main course. |
| 76852 More than your half-orc's ready to cough upâ€â€I can tell just by looking at him. Fortunately, there are other things I desire. |
| 76853 Such as? |
| 76854 I've lived I don't know how long with an invisible tanar'ri wandering around. Do you truly believe I can be cowed by you? |
| 76855 I wasn't trying to threaten you, Fil. I merely wanted to express my companion's anxiousness in regard to finding the summoning stones. |
| 76856 You never know until you try. Okay, you obviously have some knowledge of the stones. What'll it take to get you to open up? |
| 76857 I believed you wise enough to understand the nature of our relative positions. |
| 76858 You mean your position on the ground and mine out of reach in my tree? |
| 76859 We'll see how out of reach you are. |
| 76860 Your wings won't save you from my wrath, dragon! |
| 76861 My blade will open him nose-tip to tail! |
| 76862 Ignore him, he gets like that when he's been thwarted. What do you want? |
| 76863 I would be happy to... |
| 76864 ...once you help me. |
| 76865 Perhaps an arrangement can be reached... |
| 76866 You try to extort Dorn Il-Khan? I'll have your skin for boots! |
| 76867 Calm yourself, Dorn. It's only fair that we offer something in exchange for the stones. |
| 76868 Come, Dorn. There's barely enough skin there to cover even one of those massive hoofs you call feet. |
| 76869 Take it. This dragon's of no use to us. But a warning: I've heard faerie dragon skin is often rife with ticks. |
| 76870 Fair? You would speak to me of fair while this dragon tries to steal what's rightfully ours? |
| 76871 Oh, you don't have anything I want (unless you've got pistachios, that is). |
| 76872 We don't? |
| 76873 No. |
| 76874 You call my feet big? |
| 76875 All the better to kick people to death with, granny. |
| 76876 I knew an old lady who lived in a shoe. That shoe couldn't contain your feet. |
| 76877 They're large and mighty, just like the rest of you. |
| 76878 You know, I generally like talking to people, but listening to you two, I'm no longer sure why. Oh... I shouldn't lie. I hate talking to people. |
| 76879 Tell us where to find the stones and we'll leave you in peace. |
| 76880 They are pretty big, now that you mention it. |
| 76881 You'll find out how big when they stomp you into a crimson paste! |
| 76882 I've seen it happen, Fil, and to bigger creatures than you. Where are the stones? |
| 76883 What I want is some crystals. |
| 76884 That's all? |
| 76885 Why? |
| 76886 What I want is some dragon stew. |
| 76887 That's it! |
| 76888 You can find them in the northeast corner of the gorge. |
| 76889 And if we bring you these crystals, you'll give us the summoning stones? |
| 76890 Why don't you go get them yourself? |
| 76891 Very well. We'll return when we've got the crystals. |
| 76892 You'll make a fine meal, dragon. |
| 76893 We'll see who's picking at whose bones come dinnertime, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 76894 Since the demon arrived... how to put this? The ladiesâ€â€the lady dragons, I meanâ€â€they've been a little... uptight? In my experience, they find the crystals relaxing. |
| 76895 The demon has been slain. Youâ€â€and the lady dragonsâ€â€need fear it no longer. |
| 76896 Once we complete the circle, the demon will trouble you no more. |
| 76897 Where can we find these crystals? |
| 76898 You may not have noticed this because it's invisible... but there's a tanar'ri demon wandering around. I'd rather not cross paths with it if at all possible. |
| 76899 You've no need to fear the demon. It's been slain. |
| 76900 You'll need fear the demon no more once we complete the circle and restore the great tree. |
| 76901 Understandable. Very well, we'll get you your crystals. |
| 76902 It has? Seriously? |
| 76903 Dorn now wields its abyssal blade. |
| 76904 That's great news! |
| 76905 So you'll give us your stones? |
| 76906 Stone, singular. We've only got one, but it's very nice. |
| 76907 And you'll let us have it? |
| 76908 Sure, but I still want the crystals. |
| 76909 But we slew the demon! |
| 76910 And hey, good job on that. But I'd still rather you collect the crystals. There's plenty of danger in the gorge beyond the demon. |
| 76911 Very well. We'll return when we've got the crystals. |
| 76912 I admire your confidence, but you're not the first to make that claim. So if it's all the same to you: crystals for the Great, Magnificent, and Handsome One first, summoning stone for half-orc and his buddies second. |
| 76913 And if we supply you with crystals, you'll give us the summoning stones? |
| 76914 We've only got one. It's very nice though. Pink, if memory serves. |
| 76915 Very well. We'll return when we've got the crystals. |
| 76916 So now we're getting crystals. Wonderful. Did Azothet mention we'd be bartering semi-precious stones with faerie dragons when she told you about this place, Dorn? |
| 76917 Pink, you say? That shouldn't be too hard to find in this pit's murk. Which means you have officially outlived your usefulness. |
| 76918 If you attempt to cheat us, dragon, I promise you'll regret it. |
| 76919 Watch your step. There's some nasty things out there. |
| 76920 You try to help some people, and this is the thanks you get... |
| 76921 She said there would be some obstacles. |
| 76922 If she hadn't promised you freedom from Ur-Gothoz, I'd say she was a mistress of understatement. |
| 76923 She got that right. I hope she got the bit about binding Ur-Gothoz right, too. Let's do this. |
| 76924 A fallen tree is an obstacle. Bargaining with a dragonfae is foolishness. She has turned us into fools, Dorn! |
| 76925 Let's find these crystals and get this over with. |
| 76926 Better than that, I can get you one. |
| 76927 We need them all. |
| 76928 Fool! You'll regret crossing the Great and Magnificent and Also Irresistibly Handsome Filbert! |
| 76929 No more, please, I beg you! I'll give you what you want; just spare me. |
| 76930 You know where we can find the summoning stones? |
| 76931 You have the stones? |
| 76932 You had your chance, dragon. I'll not grant you another. |
| 76933 We only have one! It's pink! |
| 76934 I regret that it came to this, Fil. But we need that stone. |
| 76935 It sounds delightful. If you'd be so good as to get it for us before we finish killing you, I'd be very appreciative. So appreciative we might stop killing you. |
| 76936 Its color matters not. Hand it over. |
| 76937 Mercy! The Great and Magnificent and Also Incredibly Handsome Filbert begs you! |
| 76938 Give us what we want and you may yet live. |
| 76939 WHO begs us? |
| 76940 If you'd left out the adjectives, I might have spared you, dragon. |
| 76941 Anything! Anything for my life! What you want? |
| 76942 The summoning stones from the great tree's circle. |
| 76943 The Great and Magnificent Fi... F... Me, Fil, just Fil! I beg you, spare me! |
| 76944 We'll consider it if you give us what we seek. |
| 76945 Let me think about this for a second... Nnnno. |
| 76946 I'll tear your wings from your body, you reptilian vermin! |
| 76947 The Great and Magnificent Fil spits upon you, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 76948 Look out, his attacks will be adorable! |
| 76949 <CHARNAME>! You've returned! Did you bring my crystals? |
| 76950 We have. |
| 76951 We brought crystals. They're staying with us until you hand over the summoning stone. |
| 76952 Do you have the summoning stone? |
| 76953 That's excellent. Give them to me and I'll fetch your summoning stone. |
| 76954 Here you go |
| 76955 No, I think you'll bring us the summoning stone first. |
| 76956 My patience with you is nearly at an end, dragon. Bring me the stone. Now. |
| 76957 Not on me, but I can get it easily enough once you've given me the crystals. |
| 76958 Excellent. I have the crystals right here |
| 76959 I'd be more comfortable if you brought us the stone first. |
| 76960 Get us the stone and, if I'm feeling charitable, then you'll get the crystals. |
| 76961 Great, hand them over. |
| 76962 First let's see the stone. |
| 76963 Don't be a fool, <CHARNAME>. Give the dragon the crystals now and we'll never get the stone. |
| 76964 And if you aren't feeling charitable? |
| 76965 Then you'll get something from Dorn. |
| 76966 You don't trust the Great and Magnificent and Also Incredibly Handsome Filbert? |
| 76967 I'm finding it very difficult to trust anyone and anything in Resurrection Gorge. |
| 76968 I've found "verify before trusting" to be a very handy policy. |
| 76969 I suppose I can understand that. All right, wait here a minute; I'll go get your stone. |
| 76970 Ah, come on. This is your old buddy Fil you're talking to. |
| 76971 My "old buddy" who sent me to pick crystals right over an ankheg nest. |
| 76972 I won't be talking to him much longer if he doesn't provide what he promised us. |
| 76973 Ah. Ran into the ankhegs, did you? Are there any left...? |
| 76974 None. |
| 76975 Go over there and find out for yourself. |
| 76976 Many. Their infestation grows by the minute. Soon they'll have overrun the gorge. |
| 76977 That's the best news since... well, since I heard you'd brought me some crystals. |
| 76978 Which I'll be happy to hand over once you bring us the stone. |
| 76979 I don't think I'll be doing that. Maybe I can talk Tornyn into it. He's stupid... |
| 76980 Decide what to do on your own time. The stone? |
| 76981 That's terrible! |
| 76982 It will be if we don't restore the great tree. But to do that you know what we need. |
| 76983 All right, all right. Just wait here a few minutes. |
| 76984 And there's your stone. Satisfied? |
| 76985 Very. Here are the crystals we collected. |
| 76986 As satisfied as I can be while I'm stuck in this gloom-filled pit. |
| 76987 You only have the one stone? |
| 76988 HAD the one stone. It's yours now. |
| 76989 And we thank you for it. |
| 76990 Then why am I still talking to you? |
| 76991 Yes. Yes, it is. Which means you've outlived your usefulness. |
| 76992 I'll give you a Great and Magnificent death, you flapping rodent! |
| 76993 Treacherous <PRO_RACE>! I'll gnaw your eyes out for this! |
| 76994 Oh. Oh yeah. These will turn Oleska's head away from that great oaf Tornyn. |
| 76995 Good luck to you, Fil. |
| 76996 So everything we did was for love. I should feel good about that... Nope. |
| 76997 They might, if she ever saw them. |
| 76998 What's that supposed to mean? |
| 76999 It means I put a lot of effort into collecting these crystals, and I'm not going to part with them now. |
| 77000 Butâ€â€we had a deal! |
| 77001 Now we have a new deal. You leave now and we won't kill you. |
| 77002 Who wouldn't take the opportunity to chat with the Great and Magnificent |
| 77003 We'll be going now. |
| 77004 You'll let this rodent live? |
| 77005 Indulge your bloodlust with some other creature, Dorn. There's plenty here more worthy of your blade. |
| 77006 Oh, let the dragon go, Dorn. It's irritating, but it's harmless. |
| 77007 Yeah, now that I think about it, it doesn't really inspire, does it? Kill the dragon; let's see if that feels better. |
| 77008 Harmless? You want to see harmless, you treacherous, hairy mongrels? I'll show you! |
| 77009 Give me my crystals, you hairy, wingless conniver! |
| 77010 Now I believe you have something for me? |
| 77011 Ah yes, the crystals. |
| 77012 Nah. Thanks for the stone, though. |
| 77013 Actually, I've something I want to give you first... |
| 77014 Really? That's great, though I must admit you never struck me as a giving type |
| 77015 ...a swift death. |
| 77016 I give you a swift death, you windy snake! |
| 77017 You don't want to do this, <CHARNAME>. Just give me the crystals and we'll forget the last ten seconds ever happened. |
| 77018 Don't get your tail in a knot, Fil. Of course I'm going to give you the crystals. They're no use to me. |
| 77019 It's the next ten seconds you'll want to forget. |
| 77020 Oh, you were joking. Good one... |
| 77021 Here are the crystals. |
| 77022 And here's the stone. And here's me going back to my tree as fast as my wings will carry me... |
| 77023 Try and steal my summoning stone, will you? I'll show you who's worthy of the half-orc's blade |
| 77024 Wait, that came out wrong |
| 77025 But my sword will go right in! |
| 77026 I'd say it's been a pleasure dealing with you, but the truth is the tanar'ri's not looking so bad anymore. Farewellâ€â€no, don't. Fare poorly, you filthy stenchmonster. |
| 77027 You should hope for our success, Fil. If we fail, the gorge will pay the price. |
| 77028 Back at you, you delusional seagull. |
| 77029 Count yourself lucky I've more important matters to deal with right now, dragon. |
| 77030 Ah! Damn your hides! I am Xachrimos! I'll not be laid low by such rabble! |
| 77031 The evidence seems to say otherwise. |
| 77032 Are you sure about that? Because I'm pretty sure we're laying you pretty low. |
| 77033 Noâ€â€you'll be slain by this rabble. |
| 77034 Wait! |
| 77035 That doesn't seem the wisest course of action. |
| 77036 And give you a chance to recover? That sounds like a good idea. |
| 77037 I'll not listen to your demon promises, tanar'ri! |
| 77038 I'll see you dance at the end of my blade, demon! |
| 77039 Then feel my demon wrath! |
| 77040 I cannot deny this battle doesn't go as I anticipated. |
| 77041 Will you surrender? |
| 77042 You think? |
| 77043 Anticipate its quick and painful end. |
| 77044 I will not. |
| 77045 Then pay the price! |
| 77046 Stay your hand but a moment, I implore you. |
| 77047 Your arrogance will be your downfall. |
| 77048 Perhaps, but you'll not live to see it. |
| 77049 That is undoubtedly true. But I sincerely doubt you'll have anything to do with it. |
| 77050 Your arch tongue will be yours. |
| 77051 Back to the Abyss with you, tanar'ri! |
| 77052 I'll rip your body to pieces and chew on your soul, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 77053 We can make a deal. I have much of value to offer adventurers such as yourselves. |
| 77054 What could you possibly have that we would want? |
| 77055 Nothing good comes from cutting deals with glabrezu. |
| 77056 I'll believe nothing that rolls from your oily tongue. |
| 77057 If he has power to offer, why wouldn't I take it? |
| 77058 Where do I begin? |
| 77059 Because you're not fool enough to take a demon at its word. |
| 77060 Do I really need to explain this to you? Are you truly that stupid? |
| 77061 Do us all a favor, and don't. |
| 77062 What do you have to offer me? |
| 77063 Dorn, no! You cannot trust a tanar'ri. |
| 77064 Seriously? You're ready to go through this all again? |
| 77065 Il-Khan, you weak-minded fool! |
| 77066 If it's power you seek, I can supply it. My abyssal sword's edge is as sharp as a shadow. |
| 77067 The abyssal blade! I need that sword if I'm to bind Ur-Gothoz to my will. |
| 77068 You'll also need the missing summoning stones. |
| 77069 I have many of the stones, but not all. Some were stolen while I was... distracted. But... spare my life and they and my sword will be yours. |
| 77070 And we're just supposed to trust you to hand them over, are we? |
| 77071 A demon's word binds it tighter than any chain can. |
| 77072 The tanar'ri tells it true. A demon's oath, once made, cannot be brokenâ€â€not by the demon, at any rate. |
| 77073 And you'll swear an oath? You'll give us the sword and all the summoning stones you possess? |
| 77074 The abyssal sword and all the summoning stones I have! Yes! |
| 77075 You call me stupid, <CHARNAME>? |
| 77076 Then you are a fool! |
| 77077 I trust it not at all, but I would see what it has to offer. |
| 77078 You bargained with another demon once, and look where it got you. |
| 77079 It got me the power I needed to slay my foes and triumph over all who would oppose me. |
| 77080 You overstep your place, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 77081 Only to bring you to your senses. You can't believe this demon means you anything but harm. |
| 77082 You overstep sanity, half-orc. |
| 77083 You dare to tell me my place? I'll stuff your tongue down your miserable throat! |
| 77084 You brought this on yourself! |
| 77085 If it's power you desire, I can supply that, and more. Wealth beyond your wildest imagining. |
| 77086 Whatever you offer, the cost will be too high. |
| 77087 I require the summoning stones you stole from the great tree's circle. |
| 77088 Do you think us fools? Why would we ever take a tanar'ri at its word? |
| 77089 What are they worth to you? |
| 77090 I've journeyed a great distance and overcome many obstacles to obtain them. They are not without value. |
| 77091 More than your life, I can assure you of that. |
| 77092 I ask only that you spare my life. |
| 77093 We require the stones of summoning taken from the great tree's circle. |
| 77094 Then you ask more than I'm prepared to give. |
| 77095 Pigheaded thing! Die! |
| 77096 Wait, <CHARNAME>. I would hear what he has to say. |
| 77097 You are wise, half-orc. |
| 77098 Compliments mean nothing to me, demon. You said you had wealth to offer. |
| 77099 And you listened to him. |
| 77100 I have many of the stones, but not all. |
| 77101 We'll take them all. |
| 77102 <CHARNAME>, a word? |
| 77103 I'll need his sword to perform the ritual. |
| 77104 Xachrimos! We'll also need your sword. |
| 77105 You seem to have me at a disadvantage, <PRO_RACE>. As I'm in no position to barter, I ask only that you spare my life. |
| 77106 My blade and the summoning stones in exchange for my life. You drive a hard bargain, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 77107 Then we're agreed. Hand them over. |
| 77108 I believe you also said something about wealth beyond my wildest imagining? |
| 77109 And I'll drive a harder one still, tanar'ri. |
| 77110 Beware, <CHARNAME>. You cannot trust a tanar'ri. |
| 77111 I've already offered you the stones and my sword. What more can you want? |
| 77112 In truth, I believe you have nothing more that I desire. Begone. |
| 77113 What more do you have? |
| 77114 Just your wretched life, demon. |
| 77115 Cursed thing! I'll dine on your screams! |
| 77116 Die, tanar'ri! Die, that I may have your power! |
| 77117 How does gold sound to you, <PRO_RACE>? I can give you more than you've ever seen. |
| 77118 Gold? You think I care about gold? |
| 77119 I've seen a lot of gold. |
| 77120 How can we trust you'll keep your word? |
| 77121 Never so much as I can, and will, provideâ€â€if only you spare my life. |
| 77122 Gold is of limited interest to me. |
| 77123 How do I know I can trust you to keep your word? |
| 77124 I don't want your gold, demon. I want your blood. |
| 77125 I've already offered you the stones and my sword. What more can you want? |
| 77126 In truth, I believe you have nothing more that I desire. Begone. |
| 77127 How do I know I can trust you to keep your word? |
| 77128 Just your wretched life, demon. |
| 77129 How much gold? |
| 77130 More than you can imagine. A wealth incalculable. |
| 77131 I like the sound of that. |
| 77132 Just remember whose mouth the sound is coming from. |
| 77133 Use your head, Dorn. He plans to cheat us. |
| 77134 I'd like the sound of this demon's screams more. |
| 77135 You wound me, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 77136 If that is the greatest of my sins, I'll sleep soundly tonight. |
| 77137 Words don't wound, demon. Swords do. |
| 77138 A tanar'ri's word is his bond! |
| 77139 The demon speaks true. Its kind are powerless to break an oath, once made. |
| 77140 So you'll swear an oath to give us the sword, the summoning stones, the wealth, and also let us proceed unhindered through the gorge? |
| 77141 A demon's word is his bond! |
| 77142 The tanar'ri speaks true. Its kind are powerless to break an oath, once made. |
| 77143 So you'll swear an oath to give us the sword, the stones, and great wealth? |
| 77144 The sword, summoning stones, and more gold than you've ever seen. |
| 77145 Curse you, <PRO_RACE>! Very well... |
| 77146 I swear to it, to all the things you said! |
| 77147 Excellent. We'll be taking those now. |
| 77148 A pleasure doing business with you. And by doing business, I mean taking all your stuff. Hand it over. |
| 77149 Count yourself lucky, demon. Not many cross paths with <CHARNAME> and survive. |
| 77150 As you wish. My sword, my stones, and of course, your gold. |
| 77151 Take them, then, my sword and the stones, and get out of my sight! |
| 77152 I thought a demon's word was its bond. Where's the gold? |
| 77153 The gold, of course. I wouldn't want you to leave without that. Here it is. |
| 77154 My good fortune knows no bounds. |
| 77155 Speaking of fortune, I believe you have some gold for us? |
| 77156 Oh yes, the gold. We wouldn't want to forget that. Behold! |
| 77157 What treachery is this? |
| 77158 No treachery at all, half-orc! I promised you more gold than you'd ever seen beforeâ€â€did I not speak the truth? |
| 77159 You did, and like the fools we are, we bought it. |
| 77160 Not exactly what we had in mind, Xachrimos. |
| 77161 I promise you a bloody death. Let us see if I can match your honesty. |
| 77162 Have you ever seen so much gold, <PRO_RACE>? I think not! |
| 77163 I guess the joke's on me. Leave me be, you foul beast. |
| 77164 Not exactly what I had in mind, Xachrimos. |
| 77165 I can tell you think this is funny, demon. You won't be laughing shortly. |
| 77166 I will laugh even as you scream, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 77167 No one makes a fool of Dorn Il-Khan and lives! |
| 77168 I'll bury your corpse under yon statue, you snake-tongued deceiver! |
| 77169 What you had in mind is of no consequence, <PRO_RACE>. All that matters is what was in the promiseâ€â€and I provided what I said I would. |
| 77170 Curse you, Xachrimos. You get the last laugh. |
| 77171 Good one, Xachrimos. You sure made us look stupid. Not as stupid as your headless body will, though. |
| 77172 It's your ill fortune we made no promises to you. |
| 77173 Feel your own blade's kiss! |
| 77174 Malevolent thing! I did but give you all you requested, and you turn me into an oathbreaker! |
| 77175 The hell he does! |
| 77176 I swear to it, to all the things you said! |
| 77177 Excellent. We'll be taking those now. |
| 77178 A pleasure doing business with you. And by doing business, I mean taking all your stuff. |
| 77179 The sword and the stones. Hand them over, demon. |
| 77180 My sword and the stones. There. Take them and get out of my sight! |
| 77181 Gladly. |
| 77182 Take them. Take them and pray our paths never cross again! |
| 77183 Nothing would make me happier. I'd say farewell, but really? I hope you don't. |
| 77184 When I first saw you, I'll admit I had doubts about you, <CHARNAME>. But in slaying the glabrezu, you have done Resurrection Gorge a great service. |
| 77185 All in a day's work, madam. |
| 77186 Great. Now get me the hell out of here. |
| 77187 The gorge means nothing to me. Slaying the glabrezu was its own reward. |
| 77188 We still have business in this hole, <CHARNAME>. Have you forgotten why we came here in the first place? |
| 77189 Even if I did, I've got you here to remind me. |
| 77190 Begone, dryad. When we're ready to leave, we'll summon you. |
| 77191 As you wish. Take this acorn. When you are ready to depart, use it to summon me. |
| 77192 There's other rewards still to be found. Begone, dryad. Should we have need of you, we'll let you know. |
| 77193 Be that as it may, you still have my thanks. Now, at last, the great tree can begin to heal itself and the gorge. |
| 77194 Nothing would make me happier. |
| 77195 While Xachrimos lived, I had no choice but to keep all who entered the gorge contained within it. With the demon gone, you are free to leave whenever you want. |
| 77196 I don't think we'll be much longer, but there's still some business I need to attend to down here. |
| 77197 Why are we still talking? Get me out of this place. |
| 77198 I will leave this place when I'm sure it holds nothing more of value to me. |
| 77199 Even with Xachrimos gone, you'll not find the gorge a welcoming place. But do as you will. Take this acorn; when you're ready to leave, use it to summon me. |
| 77200 So, <CHARNAME>, you're ready to take your leave of Resurrection Gorge? |
| 77201 Yes. I've seen enough of this place. |
| 77202 Not really, no. I was just checking to make sure you'd actually come. |
| 77203 I'll leave the gorge on my own time, dryad. |
| 77204 As you wish. |
| 77205 I have come, as you can plainly see. Did I waste my time and energy, or do you wish to leave the gorge? |
| 77206 I'd hate to have wasted your time. Please, get me out of here. |
| 77207 I'm staying. |
| 77208 Very well. I'll see you again when you're prepared to go. |
| 77209 And is this the time you choose? |
| 77210 It is. |
| 77211 Not yet. |
| 77212 So, you've returned. |
| 77213 We have. |
| 77214 To what end? |
| 77215 To bid you farewell. |
| 77216 Just wanted to check the place out, make sure everything is where it's supposed to be. Looks good. |
| 77217 To your end, druid. |
| 77218 I've already died once! I'll not do so again without a fight! |
| 77219 <CHARNAME>, a word. |
| 77220 What is it, Dorn? |
| 77221 The ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. |
| 77222 It's too much, Dorn. I cannot allow it. |
| 77223 Fortunately, we can scrounge up a few sapient beings to sacrifice. |
| 77224 The druid who created the circle was revived. It is only fitting he die again, a victim of his own design. |
| 77225 We could resurrect the druid who created the circle. It would be amusing to see him die twice as a victim of his own design. |
| 77226 After all we've endured, you would deny me now? |
| 77227 You want to sacrifice an innocent life! How can you not be concerned with that? |
| 77228 I would have denied you earlier, but there were scheduling conflicts. You know how it goes. |
| 77229 Only a fool would attempt to deny you anything, Dorn. And I am no fool. |
| 77230 A sapient life, not an innocent oneâ€â€though it makes no difference to me either way. Nothing must stand between me and my goal. |
| 77231 Not even me? |
| 77232 You have a way with words, Dornâ€â€hammers have a similar way with anvils. |
| 77233 And nothing shall. |
| 77234 Help me on my quest or stand aside, <CHARNAME>, but do not test me on this. |
| 77235 I'm afraid you leave me little choice. |
| 77236 I know how it will go if you attempt to bar my path. |
| 77237 You leave me little choice, Dorn. I'll not allow you to slay one of my friends. |
| 77238 Not well for one of us, I suspect. |
| 77239 I have walked alongside you this far. I'll not stop now. |
| 77240 And you leave me with none. |
| 77241 Die! |
| 77242 Then die in their place! |
| 77243 Then pay the price for your obstinacy! |
| 77244 Then join all the others who stood in my way! |
| 77245 Choose, <CHARNAME>. Will you stand with me or against me? |
| 77246 I can't be with you, not in this. |
| 77247 Left to my own devices, I'd rather stand over there, out of arm's reach. |
| 77248 I'm with you, of course. |
| 77249 With me or against me. There are no other options. |
| 77250 Then I'm against you. You leave me with little choice. |
| 77251 When you put it that way, I guess I'm with you. |
| 77252 I leave the pretty words to you, <PRO_RACE>. I've other things to consider. |
| 77253 Let your friends bury you, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 77254 Who would you see die that I might gain greater power? |
| 77255 No one. This has gone far enough. |
| 77256 What if it were one of us? |
| 77257 If all that is required is a sapient creature... perhaps we could summon one and use it for our purposes. |
| 77258 What about Vernus? |
| 77259 That corpse could be handy. |
| 77260 Wh-what's happening? I trusted you! |
| 77261 This treachery will not go unpunished! |
| 77262 What? <CHARNAME>, no, you must not-- |
| 77263 You'd sacrifice me? You wretched baboon, I'll see you hung from the highest tower in Athkatla |
| 77264 And why not? All things end. |
| 77265 <CHARNAME>, what's happening? I'm scared! |
| 77266 Aghh! I I shall be sure to tell Gorion of your actions when I see him, <CHARNAME>! |
| 77267 Oh... this doesn't feel good. |
| 77268 Damn you, <CHARNAME>! I'll see yer skull on a pike before the day is through! |
| 77269 I knew you were a traitorous wretch, you backstabber! |
| 77270 Boo! SCURRY AWAY FROM HERE! BOO?! |
| 77271 <CHARNAME>, why? What did I do to deserve thiiiiAAAGHHHH! |
| 77272 You... You can't be serious! I... Aghhh! |
| 77273 Shar will protect me, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 77274 Hey! HEY! THIS ISN'T FUNNY! AGGHH! |
| 77275 Pleaseâ€â€no! I didn't want to betray y-AGHHH! |
| 77276 I shall drag myself back into this world and claim your neck, <CHARNAME>! |
| 77277 <CHARNAME>! Do not let this evil into the world! Argghh! |
| 77278 You would refuse me? |
| 77279 I must. |
| 77280 I don't want to, but yeah. |
| 77281 Of course not. We've sacrificed much to get you here; we cannot turn back now. |
| 77282 Yes... an excellent idea. Instruct one of them to enter the circle, but be sure not to reveal why. Then I need only write Ur-Gothoz's name in our sacrifice's blood, and his power shall be mine. |
| 77283 Are you sure you want to write Ur-Gothoz's name? |
| 77284 There goes the neighborhood. If it were a better neighborhood, I might be a little worried. |
| 77285 With the glabrezu's power as your own, you'll be unstoppable. |
| 77286 Now, I need only write Ur-Gothoz's name in the druid's blood and the demon's power shall be mine. |
| 77287 But is Ur-Gothoz's name the one you truly want to write? |
| 77288 There goes the neighborhood. If the neighborhood weren't in such dire repair, I'd be concerned. |
| 77289 It is time for the servant to become the master. |
| 77290 Still your tongue and help me perform the ritual. |
| 77291 I cannot. I will not. |
| 77292 Still my tongue? Your loss... |
| 77293 As you wish. I'll place someone within the circle. |
| 77294 If not his, then whose? |
| 77295 Clearly Azothet has power to rival Ur-Gothoz's own. Perhaps greater. Why not bind her to the sword? |
| 77296 You are right. You have lived under Ur-Gothoz's thumb for too long. It's time he pay for his treatment of you. |
| 77297 If I did such a thing, Ur-Gothoz would surely learn of it... and reward me. |
| 77298 Sounds like a steal of a deal to me. |
| 77299 But you would still be bound as his servant. |
| 77300 Hrmm. This has become a... complex matter. I shall think upon it while you position someone within the circle. |
| 77301 We still need a sapient being within the circle before I can begin the ritual. |
| 77302 What if it were one of us? |
| 77303 If all that is required is a sapient creature... perhaps we could summon one and use it for our purposes. |
| 77304 What about Vernus? |
| 77305 That corpse could be handy. |
| 77306 Someone has entered the circle. Now let me draw the name upon the ground. |
| 77307 Wait, let me think about this some more. |
| 77308 Do it, summon forth Ur-Gothoz and free yourself! |
| 77309 Bring Azothet forth. Surely her powers trapped within a sword would be more valuable? |
| 77310 Who dares? Who dares summon Ur-Gothoz from |
| 77311 Silence, demon! |
| 77312 Dorn? What is the meaning of this? |
| 77313 It's your doom, dark one. |
| 77314 It's a pronoun used to identify a specific person or thing. |
| 77315 Surely you can guess. |
| 77316 Treacherous half-orc! Do you truly think to steal my power? |
| 77317 It's yours no longer, glabrezu! |
| 77318 I'll drag you into the Abyss for this, Dorn! |
| 77319 Someday, perhaps. But not today. |
| 77320 Not the time, <CHARNAME>! |
| 77321 No! I WILL NOT BE BOUND TO MY OWN SLAVE! AZOTHET WILL PAY FOR HER MEDDLING! |
| 77322 So is that it? Are we done now? |
| 77323 I start to understand your perpetually foul mood, Dorn. Did he always whine this much? |
| 77324 It is done. Are you finally satisfied? |
| 77325 No longer will I toil in service to your whims, Ur-Gothoz. All that you possess shall be mine! |
| 77326 By all the gods in heaven and demons of the Abyss! The blade's power is... |
| 77327 Magnificent? |
| 77328 More than a little disturbing. |
| 77329 Horrifying? |
| 77330 Yes, but it's not just the bladeâ€â€something is amiss. My patron has been neutered, but my blackguard powers remain... |
| 77331 How is that possible? |
| 77332 Uh oh. |
| 77333 You say that like it's a bad thing. |
| 77334 Azothet! What is the meaning of this? |
| 77335 You have done well, Dorn. I knew you would make a worthy servant. |
| 77336 Servant? |
| 77337 I knew it. I KNEW IT. |
| 77338 The witch has betrayed you, Dorn. All your effort has gained you is another master to pull your strings. |
| 77339 Curse you, Dorn! You've brought a marilith down on our heads. |
| 77340 Calm yourself, Viconia. |
| 77341 Ur-Gothoz's power is mine now, Azothet. What makes you think I'll bend my knee to you? |
| 77342 You'll kneel to me for the same reason you accepted Ur-Gothoz as your patron. All the power he gave you and more shall be yours if you accept your place at my side. Ur-Gothoz was a greedy, fickle demon. You'll find I'm much more generous. The rewards you reap in my service will be well worth the effort, I assure you. |
| 77343 Listen to me, Dorn. Freedom is finally within your grasp. Don't let your lust for power bind you yet again. |
| 77344 I totally, totally trust and believe the demon who set you up to take her enemy out and become her servant without telling you. |
| 77345 More power and more freedomâ€â€an offer worth considering, I think. |
| 77346 Ignore them, Dorn Il-Khan. Take what I am offering! You won't like the alternative. |
| 77347 Damn you, <CHARNAME>! Were you not here, this decision would be so easy. |
| 77348 Make your choice, Il-Khan. Serve me or pay the price. |
| 77349 The carrot failed, so now she resorts to the stick. Are you so weak that you'll allow yourself to be bullied into service? |
| 77350 A patron who resorts to threats is exactly the sort of person I'd want calling the shots for me. |
| 77351 Go ahead, Dorn. She could scarcely be worse for you than Ur-Gothoz. |
| 77352 You are right on that score, <CHARNAME>. |
| 77353 No! Marilith or no, I'll not be cowed into submission! |
| 77354 Die for a freedom you'll never know! |
| 77355 Kneel before me, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 77356 You'd best obey her, Dorn. |
| 77357 Go ahead, Dorn. It's not like you aren't used to being down on bent knee. |
| 77358 Don't do it, Dorn. Use Ur-Gothoz's power to show this witch the new way of things. |
| 77359 Listen to your friend, Dorn Il-Khan. Don't make this harder than it has to be. |
| 77360 What are you offering? |
| 77361 Nothing she can offer is worth the freedom you'll lose. |
| 77362 Seriously? SERIOUSLY? |
| 77363 It better be a lot. |
| 77364 Back to the Abyss with you, marilith! |
| 77365 Curse your impudent tongue, <PRO_RACE>! If this were any other time... |
| 77366 But it's not any other time. Do as your new mistress commands. |
| 77367 You curse the wrong person, Dorn. It's she who would enslave you that should feel your rage. |
| 77368 All the power Ur-Gothoz gave you and more shall be yours if you accept your place. Your former patron was a greedy, fickle demon. You'll find I'm much more generous and, unlike Ur-Gothoz, I value my servants' lives and well-being. The rewards you reap in my service will be well worth the effort, I assure you. |
| 77369 Don't let your lust for power bind you yet again. You're better than thatâ€â€stronger than that. |
| 77370 Whatever you do, don't let the fact you're getting this offer from a demon who set you up to take her enemy out and become her servant without telling you affect your decision. |
| 77371 More power and more freedomâ€â€an offer worth considering, I think. |
| 77372 I've served Ur-Gothoz. Doing the same for Azothet could hardly be worse. |
| 77373 If that's your wish, I'll not stand in your way. |
| 77374 You've gained a sword and lost your senses, Dorn. You can't seriously bend your knee to the likes of this. |
| 77375 You will suffer for your impudence, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 77376 I am yours to command, Azothet. |
| 77377 As I knew you would be. |
| 77378 In my wildest dreams, I never imagined I would wield such power as this. |
| 77379 And what use will you put it to, Dorn? |
| 77380 Really? You need a better quality of wildest dream, my friend. |
| 77381 Then you must use it. |
| 77382 What do you mean? |
| 77383 Ur-Gothoz no longer commands you. Your life is your own. My question is, what are you going to make of it? |
| 77384 Nothing. It just seemed like a suitably dramatic thing to say. |
| 77385 You've proven your worth to me, <CHARNAME>. Would that I could say the same for these others. |
| 77386 What are you saying? |
| 77387 It is time, <CHARNAME>â€â€past time, in factâ€â€that we rid ourselves of these sycophants that cling to you like so many leeches. |
| 77388 You call my friends leeches? |
| 77389 Well, this conversation's certainly taken an unpleasant turn. |
| 77390 They have their uses to me. |
| 77391 To seal our unholy union, they must die. |
| 77392 I won't allow that to happen. |
| 77393 What, all of them? |
| 77394 A pointless waste of valuable resources. One death should be sufficient to seal any unholy union. |
| 77395 Very well then. Pick the one whose blood will bind us together for all time. |
| 77396 Eternity beckons! |
| 77397 You can't ask me to make that choice, Dorn. |
| 77398 I call them what they are: parasites all. |
| 77399 You can't expect me to do nothing while you malign my friends and allies, Dorn. Your new sword will be put to use sooner than you expected. |
| 77400 Your newfound power has blinded you, Dorn. These people are not without their uses. |
| 77401 Wellâ€â€I suppose one would suffice. |
| 77402 You've gained a sword and lost your mind, Dorn. |
| 77403 That's better. Much more reasonable. |
| 77404 You think I'd kill one of them for you? You overestimate your value to me, half-orc. |
| 77405 These worms weaken you, <CHARNAME>. They cannot be tolerated. |
| 77406 Whatever I choose. With this ebon blade in my hand, nothing is beyond my power. |
| 77407 With this blade in my hand, my dreams shall become reality. |
| 77408 W-what are you doing? |
| 77409 Whatever is necessary to gain the power I desire. |
| 77410 Wait, Dorn. We can't sacrifice him. |
| 77411 That's the way the bough breaks sometimes. Sorry, druid. |
| 77412 You've died once already, druid. Perhaps that will make this easier for you. |
| 77413 I say we can. |
| 77414 There must be another way. |
| 77415 Look at that face. How can you even think of killing something as cute as that? |
| 77416 For the life of me, I can't recall. Though I suppose it would be more accurate to say for the life of him. |
| 77417 Mercy, please. I've only just returned to life. I can't lose it again |
| 77418 Silence, druid! |
| 77419 No, please, Iâ€â€I beg you, don't do this |
| 77420 There is, of course. |
| 77421 With ease. |
| 77422 Whatâ€â€? I'm alive? Thisâ€â€this is fantastic! Hahaha! Butâ€â€but who are you, and what are you doing here? |
| 77423 What� Il-Khan? Treacherous half-orc, what is the meaning of this? |
| 77424 You thought to tempt me with Ur-Gothoz's power, witch. But taking yours suits me better. |
| 77425 Fool! You would make Azothet of the Screaming Veils your tool? |
| 77426 She's ugly. Uhhhhhh-GLEE. |
| 77427 The half-orc's summoned a marilith! |
| 77428 I'll see you die a thousand deaths for this treachery! |
| 77429 As my sword, you'll see a thousand thousand other deaths first! |
| 77430 Ah! I've never known such power! |
| 77431 You were born to wield it. |
| 77432 It suits you. |
| 77433 You must use it quickly, Dorn. Use the circle. Summon Ur-Gothoz before he realizes his peril. |
| 77434 The heavens shall tremble and fall before me! |
| 77435 You are right, <CHARNAME>. It was destiny that |
| 77436 Very well. |
| 77437 By all the gods in heaven and demons of the Abyss! I've never known such power! It's... |
| 77438 Magnificent? |
| 77439 More than a little disturbing. |
| 77440 Horrifying? |
| 77441 In my wildest dreams, I never imagined I would wield such power as this. |
| 77442 And what use will you put it to, Dorn? |
| 77443 Really? You need a better quality of wildest dream, my friend. |
| 77444 Then you must use it. |
| 77445 What do you mean? |
| 77446 A blade that powerful is worthy of the epics. What are you going to do with that power? |
| 77447 Nothing. It just seemed like a suitably dramatic thing to say. |
| 77448 Azothet's power flows fresh in the black metal. Use it now to strike Ur-Gothoz down! |
| 77449 A brilliant scheme, <CHARNAME>. Help me write his name in the circle while it retains its summoning power. |
| 77450 It is beyond anything I've ever known. |
| 77451 You need not fear the horrors to come, <CHARNAME>. You've proven your worth. Would that I could say the same for these others. |
| 77452 What are you saying? |
| 77453 It is time, <CHARNAME>â€â€past time, in factâ€â€that we rid ourselves of these sycophants that cling to you like so many leeches. |
| 77454 You call my friends leeches? |
| 77455 You're drunk on power, Dorn. Get some sleep and we can discuss this in the morning when your head is clear. |
| 77456 They have their uses to me. |
| 77457 To seal our unholy union, they must die. |
| 77458 I won't allow that to happen. |
| 77459 What, all of them? |
| 77460 A pointless waste of valuable resources. One death should be sufficient to seal any unholy union. |
| 77461 Very well then. Pick the one whose blood will bind us together for all time. |
| 77462 I'm truly sorry, Dorn, but I can't do that. |
| 77463 I call them what they are: parasites all. |
| 77464 You can't expect me to do nothing while you malign my friends and allies, Dorn. Your new sword will be put to use sooner than you expected. |
| 77465 Your new found power has blinded you, Dorn. These people are not without their uses. |
| 77466 Wellâ€â€I suppose one would suffice. |
| 77467 You've gained a sword and lost your mind, Dorn. |
| 77468 That's better. Much more reasonable. |
| 77469 You think I'd kill one of them for you? You overestimate your value to me, half-orc. |
| 77470 Whatever purpose I see fit, of course. |
| 77471 With this blade in my hand, my dreams shall become reality. |
| 77472 Whatever I choose. With this ebon blade in my hand, nothing is beyond my power. |
| 77473 You're wrong. It's only now, after all this time, that I finally see things clearly. |
| 77474 What is this? Who dares summon Ur-Gothoz? |
| 77475 Dorn?! Explain yourself, half-orc. |
| 77476 My new friend shall explain for me! |
| 77477 Dorn! I sense a great change in you. What have you done? |
| 77478 He's done as you would have wished, great Ur-Gothozâ€â€disposed of your adversary, Azothet. |
| 77479 He didn't do anything. I was there. |
| 77480 He's done you a favor, though I doubt you'll see it that way. |
| 77481 Is this true, Dorn? Have you eliminated the accursed Azothet? |
| 77482 It is true, Ur-Gothoz. Azothet's power is now mine. |
| 77483 You should never have undertaken this without informing me first. But I must admit, I am not displeased with the result. |
| 77484 I sought only to do as I believed you would wish. |
| 77485 You should not have gone behind my back, but I'm impressed by this display of initiative. I have, perhaps, underestimated your value. You have potential. I shall make better use of it in future. For now, take thisâ€â€a gift from an appreciative patron. |
| 77486 Thank you, Ur-Gothoz. |
| 77487 Silence, <PRO_RACE>! I am speaking with my servant. Explain yourself, Dorn. |
| 77488 Azothet is no more. She is bound in this sword; her power is now mine. |
| 77489 And you'd have me believe you did this out of the goodness of your heart? |
| 77490 I offer you everything and you refuse? You've made a grave error, <CHARNAME>. Once, I might have let this insult pass, but no more. I'll take your Bhaalspawn power for myself, and we shall be together forever! |
| 77491 I knew you were the one, <CHARNAME>â€â€I knew it from the first moment I laid eyes upon you. Together we are as gods... The Abyss will tremble and the heavens fall before us! |
| 77492 Shut up and kiss me, Dorn. |
| 77493 Is that it? And here I thought we'd be doing something impressive. |
| 77494 May the gods help those who stand against us. Nothing else will save them. |
| 77495 Freedom, at last... But the cost... |
| 77496 One's freedom is a prize to be valued above all else. |
| 77497 I'd tell you to look on the bright side, Dorn... if I seriously believed you had one. |
| 77498 Count yourself lucky you didn't pay for it with your life. |
| 77499 Without a patron, my powers are diminished, but my options are greatly increased. And from now on, the blood I shed will be for my benefit and mine alone. |
| 77500 True enough... Though there's many who will pay for it with theirs. |
| 77501 Reminds me of home... |
| 77502 I don't like this place. I mean it's okay, I guess, but I'd rather be out there. Way out there. Like no longer in Resurrection Gorge out there. |
| 77503 This place stinks of rotted magic. We should burn it to the ground. |
| 77504 While we're in the gorge? Not the best idea you've ever had, Valygar. |
| 77505 The infernal stench of the Abyss is strong in this place. |
| 77506 Hrrh. All the comforts of a Deepstone cavern and none of the charm. Do what ye're here to do, <CHARNAME>, and let's be done with this place. |
| 77507 Here beats Resurrection Gorge's dark heart. How long has it been since Selûne's light graced this place? |
| 77508 A long time, Rasaad, if she ever shone here at all. |
| 77509 Of all the twisted, rotten, stinking, disgusting places you've taken me, <CHARNAME>, this is another one. |

| 77528 Your assistance has been invaluable, Telwyn. For that, I'll make your death as quick and painless as possible. |
| 77529 We only seek to know if you have truly fallen away! |
| 77530 You risk injury if you come any closer, my misguided friend. |
| 77531 Tell us the truth, Brother! We grow tired of your games! |
| 77532 You have forced my hand. |
| 77533 Ah, my head... |
| 77534 What just happened here? |
| 77535 Are you all right? |
| 77536 You're lucky you're still alive, monk. |
| 77537 Base betrayal, that's what happened here. |
| 77538 You were fighting one of your own. |
| 77539 He WAS one of our own, but no longer. |
| 77540 Who are you? |
| 77541 I'll be fine, no thanks to that traitor Rasaad. |
| 77542 The one you fought? |
| 77543 If that's the name of the man you were fighting, you should thank him for sparing your life. |
| 77544 Rasaad yn Bashir. He was one of our order, but no longer. |
| 77545 What happened? |
| 77546 You win some and you lose some. Good luck in your future ventures. |
| 77547 Given the ease with which he dealt with you, I can see why. |
| 77548 I'll show that traitor the same gratitude he's shown our order. |
| 77549 Which order is that? |
| 77550 We are members of the Sun Soul order, worshippers of the Moonmaiden, Selûne. |
| 77551 Go on. |
| 77552 And the one you were fighting? |
| 77553 Tell me more of this Selûne. |
| 77554 Rasaad yn Bashir. A great monk once. I would never have believed he could turn on the order had I not fallen victim to his wrath. |
| 77555 What led to the attack? |
| 77556 A concussion is pretty damning evidence. |
| 77557 You're still breathing. There are worse people whose wrath you could face. |
| 77558 They've got a point. |
| 77559 Tell me more about this traitor. |
| 77560 Why would this Rasaad turn on his own order? |
| 77561 There's a valuable lesson for you in all this. I hope you've learned it. Fare thee well. |
| 77562 You tell it true. |
| 77563 Tell me more about this traitor. |
| 77564 Why would this Rasaad turn on his own order? |
| 77565 There's a valuable lesson for you in all this. I hope you've learned it. Fare thee well. |
| 77566 Rasaad has been absent from services these past few weeks. At first, we feared he'd fallen victim to the Dark Moon order. Then rumors began to swirl... |
| 77567 Rumors? |
| 77568 Let me guessâ€â€he'd fallen in love with a member of the Dark Moon order. Together they embarked on a passionate love affair that would unite two religions... or destroy them. |
| 77569 It was more than rumors that led brother to raise hand to brother. |
| 77570 No. It was nothing like that. |
| 77571 Oh well. Go on. |
| 77572 That's a shame. Reality has no sense of drama. So what happened? |
| 77573 Then I'm really not interested. |
| 77574 Recently, a new cult has formed, led by a man named Collus Darathon. He preaches the Dark Moon heresy: that our mistress Selûne and Shar of the Dark Moon are two aspects of the same goddess. |
| 77575 And Rasaad took up the heresy. |
| 77576 My bruises are testament to it. When we approached him and asked him to return to the temple, he attacked. |
| 77577 He has adopted a false religion. Everyone knows Shar is a goddess of darkness; Selûne, light. |
| 77578 An overreaction, to be sure, but I'm intrigued by this heresy. Shar and Selûne, one and the same? It's an interesting notion. |
| 77579 Hm. Well, in my experience, the affairs of the gods are best left alone. I wish you good fortune on your future endeavors. |
| 77580 Recently, a new cult has broken off from our rivals within the Order of the Dark Moon, led by a man named Collus Darathon. He preaches the Dark Moon heresy: that our mistress Selûne and Shar of the Dark Moon are two aspects of the same goddess. |
| 77581 What nonsense. One is a goddess of darkness; the other, light. |
| 77582 An interesting notion. |
| 77583 The affairs of the gods are of no interest to me. I wish you good fortune on your future endeavors. |
| 77584 Would that Rasaad saw things as clearly as you. |
| 77585 I'm sure he'll learn the error of his ways in due course. Farewell. |
| 77586 An interesting notion, and a dangerous one. Followers of both Shar of the shadows and the Moonmaiden Selûne flock to his false religion. |
| 77587 Perhaps this new twin goddess offers something Shar and Selûne can't. |
| 77588 That can't be going over well. |
| 77589 I can see how that's a major concern for Shar and Selûne, but not for me. Farewell. |
| 77590 Many will choose a comfortable lie to an unpleasant truthâ€â€but the truth remains unchanged. |
| 77591 That might satisfy one who believes they have all the answers. It's a different story for one who has only questions. |
| 77592 Nothing wrong with a little comfort. |
| 77593 I can tell you enjoy discussing philosophy. If your goddess smiles upon you, you may find someone who shares your passions soon. I'm not that person. Good evening. |
| 77594 The only true comfort comes from service to the Moonmaiden. |
| 77595 I'll take your word for it. |
| 77596 Spoken like someone who's never slept between silk sheets on a good mattress. I'll take lounging in a good bed over the comfort of service any day. |
| 77597 With Selûne's grace, you will discover the error of your ways. |
| 77598 She can keep her grace. I'll keep my bed. |
| 77599 Selûne has the answers to all questions, for those who are willing to hear them. |
| 77600 Yet your friend has chosen heresy. |
| 77601 She has answers to all questions, as most gods do. Whether those answers are correct is another matter. |
| 77602 There are none so deaf as those who will not hear. |
| 77603 With Selûne's grace, you will discover the error of your ways. |
| 77604 I'm sure she'll have plenty of opportunities to show me the light. |
| 77605 You speak the truth. |
| 77606 I'm sorry, I can't hear you. |
| 77607 I try. And the truth is, I've got to go. |
| 77608 I do. And the truth is, you and your goddess bore me. |
| 77609 I said |
| 77610 WHAT? COULD YOU SPEAK UP? I CAN'T HEAR A WORD YOU'RE SAYING. |
| 77611 No, pay attention. I. Can't. Hear. You. |
| 77612 WHAT I SAID WAS |
| 77613 SORRY, I CAN SEE YOUR LIPS MOVING, BUT I CAN'T HEAR A WORD YOU'RE SAYING. |
| 77614 Oh, for pity's sake, it was a joke, you twit. I can't abide those with no sense of humor. Begone. |
| 77615 You should not make light of faith. These are serious matters worthy of serious consideration. |
| 77616 For some, perhaps. Not for me. |
| 77617 I'd have thought Selûne would appreciate people making light of things. Get it? Making LIGHT? |
| 77618 You tread dangerous ground, <PRO_RACE>. Selûne is not to be mocked. |
| 77619 For a follower of a light goddess, you're not very bright, are you? Get it? Light goddess? Bright? |
| 77620 Are you sure? |
| 77621 Forgive me. I should not have mocked your goddess. |
| 77622 Insolent <PRO_RACE>. I'll waste no more time with you. |
| 77623 I may not be bright, but I'll still teach you a lesson, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 77624 Your insolence has earned you this beating, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 77625 Apology accepted. Selûne is a merciful goddess. |
| 77626 I'll leave you to her, then. |
| 77627 Tell me more about her. |
| 77628 I cannot explain what happened to Rasaad. Those who are true to either Selûne or Shar oppose Darathon. The followers of the Dark Moon have been ruthless in tracking down and killing all who believe the heresy. We gave Rasaad a chance to explain himselfâ€â€we'll not make that mistake again. |
| 77629 Well, good luck with your quest. Judging from your success so far, I'd say you're going to need it. |
| 77630 You should count yourself fortunate you're still alive to make another mistake. |
| 77631 The followers of the Dark Moon have been ruthless in tracking down and killing all who promote the heresy. We should have been as vigilant in ending the threat. Instead, we gave Rasaad a chance to explain himself. We'll not make that mistake again. |
| 77632 Well, best of luck with your quest. Judging from your success so far, I'd say you're going to need it. |
| 77633 You should count yourself fortunate you're still alive to make another mistake. |
| 77634 You may be right about that. But we learn from our errorsâ€â€as Rasaad will learn from his. |
| 77635 With pleasure. The Order of the Sun Soul was founded in the time of ancient Netheril. Then it was called the Brotherhood of the Sun. |
| 77636 Please, go on. |
| 77637 I've made a terrible mistake. I don't know what possessed me to ask a monk about his goddess, but it'll not keep me around to listen to it. Farewell. |
| 77638 We follow the Precepts of Incandescence, a code of conduct that aligns with the principles of the three deities most commonly worshipped within the order: Lathander, Sune, and Selûne. |
| 77639 I gather you worship Selûne. |
| 77640 That is the exact opposite of interesting. Goodbye. |
| 77641 And now some turn to the Dark Moon heresy. |
| 77642 Many of my sect revere the Moonmaiden. |
| 77643 The Moonmaiden. Feh. Selûne is a sickly sister to Shar of the Dark Moon. |
| 77644 You are drow; naturally, you cling to the shadows. |
| 77645 Now I and my brothers are under attack, not just from our traditional enemies but a new cult led by a man named Collus Darathon. He preaches the Dark Moon heresyâ€â€that Selûne and Shar, the Lady of Loss, are aspects of a single deity. |
| 77646 Excuse me. I am Rasaad yn Bashir. You seem familiar to me. Have we met? |
| 77647 Of course we have, Rasaad. Don't tell me you've forgotten our adventures along the Sword Coast so quickly. |
| 77648 My name is <CHARNAME>. We've not met, but I have seen you at work. |
| 77649 No. And we're not about to. |
| 77650 Of course, <CHARNAME>â€â€forgive me. I should have recognized you, but I've much on my mind these days. |
| 77651 I can tell. You seem much changed since our time together. |
| 77652 Does it have anything to do with those monks I saw you beating up earlier? |
| 77653 I walk a new pathâ€â€one I'm altogether uncomfortable with. I long for the clarity of purpose I once enjoyed. |
| 77654 You're a good man, Rasaad yn Bashir. Follow your heart; it won't steer you wrong. |
| 77655 What's going on? |
| 77656 We live in a world of grays, Rasaad. I wish you luck in navigating it. |
| 77657 Sometimes one must put aside one's heart to achieve a greater good. |
| 77658 You have changed, haven't you, Rasaad? Tell me what has happened to you since last we traveled together. |
| 77659 A noble principle, but one that makes finding happiness more of a trial than it ought to be. |
| 77660 What a positively dreadful idea. Tell me more. |
| 77661 A principle for fools and weaklings looking for excuses not to do as they will. Why are you wasting time with this monk, <CHARNAME>? |
| 77662 I have no idea, but I shall waste no more. |
| 77663 His tale interests me, Dorn. Be silent, or leave us. Go on, Rasaad. You were telling of your recent ventures. |
| 77664 There can be no happiness for me, not since my brother Gamaz's death. |
| 77665 Don't say that, Rasaad. You must never relinquish hope for a brighter tomorrow. |
| 77666 So great a loss would make some appreciate what they still have. |
| 77667 That makes you far too depressing for me to be around. Enjoy your misery. |
| 77668 I try to hold on to it, <CHARNAME>, but these past weeks have not made it easy. |
| 77669 Tell me what's happened. Perhaps I can help you. |
| 77670 I saw you fighting your fellow Sun Soul monks. What the hell's going on there? |
| 77671 It's never easy, Rasaad. But it's what gets us through the night. |
| 77672 I wish I was in a better position to appreciate such levity, <CHARNAME>. But my current circumstances are grim indeed. |
| 77673 I wish I could see things that way, <CHARNAME>, I truly do. But given my current course, all I've left to me is revenge for my brother. |
| 77674 It's not so grim as that, surely? You have friends... |
| 77675 All my friends have turned upon me. Not that I can blame them. |
| 77676 Not all your friends, Rasaad. Tell me, what's happened to you these past weeks? |
| 77677 Speak for yourself, <CHARNAME>! Boo is the warm center of the universe that I orbit during my slumber each night! |
| 77678 The night used to cradle and comfort me. I and my brothers would bathe in the cool light of Selûne. But I fear those days are forever lost to me. |
| 77679 Forgive me, <CHARNAME>, I do not understand... |
| 77680 A few moments ago, I saw you lay a pair of Sun Soul monks low. |
| 77681 You ran off before I had the chance to greet you. Perfectly understandable: The monks you'd knocked out came around pretty quickly, and you wouldn't want to be there when they did. |
| 77682 I expect little more from a Sun Soul monk. Though you aren't really a Sun Soul monk anymore now, are you? |
| 77683 How do you know of that? |
| 77684 I saw you kick your brothers' arses. You fled the scene before I had a chance to greet you. |
| 77685 Word gets around. |
| 77686 That's of no import. What matters is why you were fighting other Selûne worshippers. |
| 77687 You saw me fighting my fellow Sun Soul monks? |
| 77688 It would seem so. |
| 77689 I did not want to fight my brothers, but it was necessary. |
| 77690 But why, Rasaad? |
| 77691 It was necessary to beat the Nine Hells out of your fellow monks? |
| 77692 And also fun! |
| 77693 Not at allâ€â€except in Tannath's case. I regret battling my brothers, but I regret battling that self-involved dullard slightly less. |
| 77694 Why were you battling in the first place? |
| 77695 Mee-ow! |
| 77696 Ha ha ha, and I'm sure he used his catlike grace to... th... tho... ah, I've got nothing. |
| 77697 Don't start unless you can finish. |
| 77698 I had little choice. I can no longer trust my brothers in the Sun Soul order. |
| 77699 No? Why not? |
| 77700 That's a fairly damning statement. |
| 77701 A new cult has formed, based on the Dark Moon heresy: that my moon goddess Selûne and Shar, goddess of the night, are but facets of a single deity. |
| 77702 That must be an appealing notion for those accustomed to Selûne's whimperings. |
| 77703 I seek to join this new cult. |
| 77704 You've turned your back on Selûne? |
| 77705 No, you don't. Anyone else, I can see considering it. But your loyalty is clearly to your Moonmaiden. |
| 77706 What, your other cultâ€â€sorry, your sectâ€â€isn't doing it for you anymore? |
| 77707 I would never break my vows to the Moonmaiden. |
| 77708 You are right, <CHARNAME>. I remain true to Selûne. Joining the Dark Moon heretics is just a ruse. |
| 77709 A true follower of the Sun Soul philosophy would never stoop to deception to achieve his aims. |
| 77710 Selûne worshippers really aren't made for ruses, Rasaad. Better to leave them to those who're good at them. |
| 77711 What possible reason could you have for such extreme action? |
| 77712 That thought haunts my every waking moment. But I've no choice. |
| 77713 This deception is not something I'm comfortable with, I'll admit. |
| 77714 Well... I may be able to help you out with that, if you explain why you've gone to such drastic measures. |
| 77715 In my heart, I remain true to Selûne. My attempt to join the Dark Moon heretics is a deception. |
| 77716 A true follower of the Sun Soul philosophy would never stoop to deception to achieve his aims. |
| 77717 Selûne worshippers really aren't made for ruses, Rasaad. I'd leave them to those who're good at them, if I were you. |
| 77718 What possible reason could you have for pretending to forsake your mistress? |
| 77719 A new cult has formed, based on the Dark Moon heresy: that my moon goddess Selûne and Shar, goddess of the night, are but facets of a single deity. Many in my sect find this idea appealingâ€â€too many for me to risk revealing my secret to my brothers. |
| 77720 It hurts me to say it, but it is true. |
| 77721 The Dark Moon heretics are led by a man calling himself Collus Darathon. |
| 77722 I believe Collus Darathon is an alias of Alorgoth, the man who killed my brother Gamaz. |
| 77723 You can prove this? |
| 77724 Well, that's a chicken of a different color. Where is this Darathon? |
| 77725 Then you should seek him out and make him pay for his crimes. |
| 77726 Would that it were as easy as that. Darathon's ideas spread like poison through the Sun Soul order, but the location of the heretics' temple is a well-kept secret. |
| 77727 This path you walk is not made for you, Rasaad. I beg you, return to your brothers before it's too late. |
| 77728 Which is why you need to join the heretics. |
| 77729 Ideas aren't poison, Rasaad. There may be something worth considering in this "heresy." |
| 77730 You understand my position perfectly. |
| 77731 If only I knew. Darathon's words spread like the plague through the Order, but he remains elusive. Only those who profess to believe the heresy know where to find its leader. |
| 77732 This path you walk is not made for you, Rasaad. You should return to your brothers before it's too late. |
| 77733 Which explains why you need to join the heretics. |
| 77734 Words aren't poison, Rasaad. There may be something worth considering in this "heresy." |
| 77735 It's too late, <CHARNAME>. If I were to return now, none would believe my story. Only by rooting out Darathon and avenging my brother can I prove my loyalty. |
| 77736 Then I guess I'll help you. Join meâ€â€without my help, you'll be dead before you ever lay eyes on this Darathon. |
| 77737 That's quite the corner you've painted yourself into, Rasaad. I hope you can get yourself out of itâ€â€I certainly won't help you. |
| 77738 I thank you, <CHARNAME>. Together, we will destroy Alorgoth and his heresy. |
| 77739 I admire your optimism, Rasaad. I don't completely understand it, but I admire it. |
| 77740 We'll see. We'll see. |
| 77741 Are you joking, <CHARNAME>? |
| 77742 You'd rather see me joke about this than think on it, I believe. |
| 77743 Of course. Couldn't you tell? |
| 77744 Relax, Rasaad. Come with me and I'll help you on your quest. But blind devotion to an order that was so quick to turn its back on you will not serve you well in the long term. |
| 77745 I would. |
| 77746 I'd like to comfort you, Rasaad, but if so many are flocking to Darathon's banner, perhaps there's something in what he says worth considering. |
| 77747 Then I was joking, if that will help you rest easier. |
| 77748 I'm... Of course I could, <CHARNAME>. Only a fool would try to tempt me from Selûne. |
| 77749 What you suggest is... |
| 77750 Heresy, yes, you've made that very clear. But that doesn't mean it's wrong. |
| 77751 Strangely, it does not. |
| 77752 I'm afraid you're going to have to learn to live with that, if you're to stick with me. |
| 77753 While tracking Alorgoth, I chanced upon a Dark Moon heretic. Rather than fight, I listened to what he had to say. And the more he said about Darathon, the more I became convinced he followed Alorgoth. |
| 77754 Did you suggest as much to him? |
| 77755 So you have no evidence. |
| 77756 I'm sure you know the case you make is far from compelling. |
| 77757 He didn't believe it. As a monk of the Dark Moon, he had met Alorgoth. Collus was a stranger to him. Still, I cannot convince myself the two are not at least connected, if not one and the same. |
| 77758 I fear you're letting your desire to avenge your brother blind you to reality, Rasaad. Is it really worth risking everything you believe in, everyone you've known and loved, on a hunch? |
| 77759 Waitâ€â€this guy knew both Alorgoth and Collus, says they're different people, and you still think they're the same? |
| 77760 You cling to the flimsiest of hopes, Rasaad. What if you're wrong? |
| 77761 Even if Darathon isn't Alorgoth, the heresy clearly threatens all who serve Selûne. It must be destroyed. |
| 77762 What you say is true, but I fear you're going about it the wrong way. I only hope you don't come to regret it. Good luck, Rasaad. I'd offer to help, but nothing I can do will save you from this folly. |
| 77763 Sounds good to me. It's been more than a month since I destroyed my last false cult. Join me: We'll take this one down together. |
| 77764 Really? Consider this: If so many of Shar and Selûne's followers are abandoning their sects for the heresy, perhaps the heresy has something worthy to offer. |
| 77765 I know how it must sound, <CHARNAME>. Yet in my heart I know it to be true. |
| 77766 I know you aren't comfortable with deception, Rasaad. I just hope you aren't deceiving yourself. |
| 77767 I know only that I've come too far to stop now. |
| 77768 Ho there, strangers. I seek a man named Rasaad yn Bashir; do you know of him? |
| 77769 I do know him. |
| 77770 Never heard of the man. |
| 77771 What is your business with him? |
| 77772 Nothing malicious, I assure youâ€â€I seek merely to invite him to a meeting of like minds. |
| 77773 I am Rasaad. Who are you? |
| 77774 A friend. |
| 77775 A friend of who? |
| 77776 She says she's a friend, so that's good. I'm sure she's totally trustworthy. |
| 77777 No friend of ours. Farewell. |
| 77778 Be silent. My business is with Rasaad, not you. |
| 77779 Of all who seek the truth in both light and shadow. I have come to invite you to a meeting of others who share our beliefs. |
| 77780 The Dark Moon heretics. |
| 77781 We'll go, but only if it takes place at twilight or dawn. |
| 77782 And I'd like to invite you to choke on your own blood. |
| 77783 I came in the spirit of peace, but if a battle's what you want, I'm happy to oblige. |
| 77784 I have come to invite you to a meeting of those who seek truth in both light and shadow. |
| 77785 The Dark Moon heretics. |
| 77786 A bunch of artists are having a meeting? |
| 77787 You can seek the truth in six feet of dirt, dog! |
| 77788 A word, <CHARNAME>? |
| 77789 We would do well to feign interest in the heretics. Attending this meeting may help us find their hidden temple. |
| 77790 You take to deception just a little too easily for my taste, Rasaad. |
| 77791 A good plan. We'll never get the answers you seek simply by asking questions. |
| 77792 Feign interest? I am interested! |
| 77793 You think I like this? Far from it. But I'll do what must be done to deal with the heretics. |
| 77794 I will support you, but be wary, lest you become in reality that which you pretend to be. |
| 77795 There must be other ways to get the answers you seek. |
| 77796 Perhaps, but none so quickly as this. |
| 77797 The righteous do not abandon their principles for expediency's sake. |
| 77798 You are right. Do what you must and get it over with. |
| 77799 Where will this meeting occur? |
| 77800 You and my conscience are in agreement, <CHARNAME>. I only wish it were not so. |
| 77801 The only truth is Selûne's. I care nothing for your heresy, stranger. |
| 77802 This is no time for jokes, <CHARNAME>. |
| 77803 You are right, Rasaad. This is deadly serious business that I take deadly seriously. Deadly. Seriously. |
| 77804 So says you. I say life's too short to let any opportunity for a laugh go to waste. You there, hooded mysterious cloaked ladyâ€â€where will this meeting of like minds take place? |
| 77805 I'm not joking, Rasaad. I'd know more of this so-called heresy. You thereâ€â€when will this meeting occur? |
| 77806 Please, <CHARNAME>, I beg you, at least act as though this is a serious matter. |
| 77807 Okay, I'll try. |
| 77808 Believe me, <CHARNAME>, I am keenly aware of the line I walk with this deception. |
| 77809 Good. Lose sight of it for a moment and you may lose all that matters. |
| 77810 Come to the abandoned Borrokin amphitheater far to the east of the city. I shall mark it upon your map. |
| 77811 We'll find it. |
| 77812 See you there. Probably. It'll be hard for us to tell if you're there, on account of never having seen your face and all. |
| 77813 We can find it. I'd say we'd see you there, but I'd be lying, because in about fifteen seconds, you'll be dead. |
| 77814 Until tonight then. Farewell. |
| 77815 What? Butâ€â€how can you say this now? You were witnessed striking down your own students! |
| 77816 In a moment of weakness, I forgot myself. It took a true friend to remind me who I really am. |
| 77817 Then in the name of the Twofold Goddess, die! |
| 77818 Am I doing the right thing, <CHARNAME>? This deceit goes against everything I learned as a servant of Selûne. |
| 77819 You do what you must for the best of all possible reasons, Rasaad. You must stay the course, no matter how distasteful you find this deception. |
| 77820 I know you would sacrifice much to capture your brother's killer, but you must be wary not to darken your heart with deception. |
| 77821 Everything you learned as a servant of Selûne was wrong, Rasaad. You'll see that, in time. |
| 77822 You give me the strength to continue, <CHARNAME>. Without you, I fear I would be lost. |
| 77823 My heart is already dark with grief and despair. I fear that when I lost Gamaz, I lost my way. |
| 77824 I have faith that you'll find your path again, Rasaad. I'll do what I can to help you. |
| 77825 Perhaps you found a new way, and simply have yet to recognize it. |
| 77826 Cease your wretched whimpering, Rasaad. At least try to act like a man. |
| 77827 Arwes, Seek out the former Sun Soul monk Rasaad yn Bashir in Athkatla. He will be traveling with a <PRO_MANWOMAN> by the name of <CHARNAME>. He has demonstrated sympathy to our cause. I believe that he will be an invaluable ally. Instruct him to join us at the Borrokin Amphitheatre to the east of the city. |
| 77828 Who goes there? |
| 77829 Those who seek truth in both light and shadow. |
| 77830 I am <CHARNAME>. I understand the Borrokin Quilting League is meeting here tonight? |
| 77831 We come with a message from Selûne. |
| 77832 Oh? What message is that, then? |
| 77833 I'm actually Shar, but do me a favor and keep it to yourself, all right? |
| 77834 The more one knows, the less one believes. |
| 77835 Death to the heretics. |
| 77836 Death to all who oppose the Two-Faced Goddess! |
| 77837 You've been misinformed. |
| 77838 Did I say the Borrokin Quilting League? Sorry, that's tomorrow. I meant the meeting of those who seek truth in both light and shadow. |
| 77839 And you've had your sense of humor surgically removed. We came for the Dark Moon, but we'll stay for the heresy. |
| 77840 Walk with care here, my friend. None shall keep us from our quilting. |
| 77841 This is no place for jesters, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. |
| 77842 I'll be the judge of that. Are you going to let us pass or not? |
| 77843 The meeting is for serious minds to discuss serious matters. Be off with you. |
| 77844 Aw, come on, don't be that way. I'll be good. Promise. |
| 77845 Enough of your nonsense. Begone! |
| 77846 Aw, come on, don't be that way. I'll be good. Promise. |
| 77847 I said begone. |
| 77848 Stand aside, guard. My patience for you is at an end. |
| 77849 All right, I'm going. But know this: You've made a powerful enemy this night. Verrrry powerful. |
| 77850 As is mine. |
| 77851 Draw your sword then. Let's get this over with. |
| 77852 All right, you win. But you haven't heard the last of this. I have friends, you know. You just made yourself a powerful enemy. |
| 77853 Very well. I bid you good evening. |
| 77854 Talk in sentences, not in riddles. |
| 77855 We're here for the meeting, all right? |
| 77856 Less a riddle than a proverb, but as you wish. We were invited to a meeting of those who seek truth in shadows and light. Are we at the right place? |
| 77857 All right. We're here for the Dark Moon heretic meeting. Stand aside or pay the price. |
| 77858 What meeting is that? |
| 77859 The meeting of those who seek truth in darkness and in light. |
| 77860 You are a fool. And now you'll pay for your foolishness. |
| 77861 You may enter. |
| 77862 Welcome, welcome, friends. |
| 77863 Thank you. |
| 77864 Thanks, it's great to be here. Where's Collus Darathon? |
| 77865 We're no friends of yours, heretic. |
| 77866 What brings you here tonight? |
| 77867 We would know more of this new Two-Faced Goddess. |
| 77868 An invitation. |
| 77869 Selûne's vengeance. |
| 77870 My own foolishness. We'll see if I feel more enlightened after the meeting's conclusion. |
| 77871 Two-FOLD Goddess. What would you like to know? |
| 77872 Everything. How this Collus Darathon came to embrace the heresy that Shar and Selûne are part of the same being, for a start. |
| 77873 I'd like to know the truth, but I'm resigned to having to believe. |
| 77874 I'd like to know how easy a heretic dies. |
| 77875 The Twofold Goddess's existence is not something that must be taken on faith. We have the evidence of the Sun Soul and Dark Moon blasphemers' treachery. |
| 77876 All will be revealed to you tonightâ€â€if you're willing to open your eyes. |
| 77877 The untrue are among us! Guards! Guards! |
| 77878 Revealing the truth of the Twofold Goddess has made Master Darathon many enemies. He is far from the city, in a safe place. |
| 77879 A shame. I'd hoped to meet him. |
| 77880 And you came. That's wonderful. The truth will be spread by open-minded individuals like yourself. |
| 77881 We'll see. I have many questions about this Two-Faced Goddess. |
| 77882 I'll be happy to spread the truth, once I'm satisfied I know what it is. |
| 77883 I wouldn't count on that, heretic. |
| 77884 Collus Darathon is no heretic! |
| 77885 If you insist. |
| 77886 No heretic, perhaps, but a coward all the same. |
| 77887 Heretic, no heretic, it matters not. His fate is sealedâ€â€as is yours. |
| 77888 He's no coward, but he's also no fool. Shar's assassins would cut him down the instant he revealed himself. |
| 77889 He is wise to remain in hiding. What can you tell me of him? |
| 77890 I'll take your word for it. I'll have to, seeing as Darathon's not here to give me his. |
| 77891 And rightly so. |
| 77892 Greetings, seeker. |
| 77893 A good <DAYNIGHTALL> to you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 77894 Another seeker of truth in the shadows and the light. It's good to see you here. |
| 77895 Welcome, welcome. Make yourself comfortable; the talk will begin soon. |
| 77896 May the goddess smile twice upon you. |
| 77897 Thank you for joining us this <DAYNIGHTALL>. I hope you are ready to receive the glory of the true goddess. |
| 77898 All glory to the Twofold Goddess and her prophet, Collus! |
| 77899 In the name of the Twofold, I welcome you, O traveler in light and shadows. |
| 77900 Huh. How disappointing. I thought the Trust had standards... |
| 77901 In Collus's name, I welcome you. May the words you hear tonight open your heart to the Truth. |
| 77902 Assassins! There are assassins among us! Help me! |
| 77903 Hello, hello! And how are you this evening? |
| 77904 We're doing fine. |
| 77905 Can't talk now. Meditating on heretical belief. Leave me be. |
| 77906 Impatient. |
| 77907 I am glad to hear it. Someday soon, we will be able to hold these meetings in more auspicious surroundings. For now, I hope you're comfortable. |
| 77908 We're fine. |
| 77909 I'd be more comfortable if I knew more about this Collus Darathon. |
| 77910 I would be, were it not for this monk who keeps badgering me about my comfort. |
| 77911 I meant no offense. Have a good evening. |
| 77912 Well, if there's anything I can do to help you, do let me know. My name is Kelner. |
| 77913 Thank you, Kelner. We'll do that. |
| 77914 Well, now that you mention it, Kelner, there is something you can do to help me. |
| 77915 The only thing you can do to help me is leave. Now. |
| 77916 Oh? What is that? |
| 77917 I'd like to meet this Collus Darathon. |
| 77918 I'm a seeker, Kelner. I want something to believe in. The heresyâ€â€I mean, the Twofold Goddess's claims are so new. How can you have faith in Collus Darathon? |
| 77919 Die screaming. |
| 77920 I understand your anxiety, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. Believe me when I say that what you learn tonight will be well worth the wait. |
| 77921 I hope you're right. |
| 77922 I'm unconvinced that my life will be changed by exposure to heresy. |
| 77923 I'm done waiting. And you're done breathing. |
| 77924 Rest assured, I know exactly what you're thinking. |
| 77925 After years in the Sun Soul order, you can imagine how hard it was for me to accept the truth of the Twofold into my heart. |
| 77926 That's what I don't understand. How could you accept the herâ€â€I mean, the truth? |
| 77927 I look forward to hearing about it some other time. |
| 77928 It's amazing to me that Selûne and Shar haven't corrected this error years ago. |
| 77929 I resisted at first. 'Twas Darathon who guided me to the Twofold revelation. He showed me the evidence of the Sharran and Selûnite suppression. Powerful forces have conspired to paint the Twofold Truth as heresy. |
| 77930 Powerful forces? You speak of those who command the Sharrans and Selûnites? |
| 77931 But Collus Darathon knows the truth. |
| 77932 Powerful forces are also conspiring to paint this amphitheater with your blood. |
| 77933 I do. |
| 77934 He does. You'll see, <PRO_RACE>. After tonight, all will be revealed. |
| 77935 Powerful forces have conspired to obscure the truth. |
| 77936 Revealing the truth of the Twofold Goddess has made Master Darathon many enemies. He is far from the city, in a safe place. |
| 77937 A shame. I'd hoped to meet him. |
| 77938 Ah well. I'll meet him some other day, perhaps. |
| 77939 He lacks the conviction to stand up and take personal responsibility for his heresy? |
| 77940 You may get the opportunity, if you choose to join the Twofold Trust. |
| 77941 How would I do that? |
| 77942 That's definitely something worth considering after I've exhausted all other available options. |
| 77943 Only a fool would willingly join in your heresy. |
| 77944 After the meeting is finished, you will be invited to answer a few questions. Depending on your answers, you may be asked to join the Trust. |
| 77945 I look forward to the opportunity. |
| 77946 What sort of questions? |
| 77947 The only answer I will have is to invite the questioner to join the dead. |
| 77948 Why do you ask...? |
| 77949 I seek the truth in the shadows and the light. |
| 77950 He's offended both the Sun Soul and Sharran philosophies. That's the kind of guy I want to know more about. |
| 77951 I would know everything there is to know about people I plan to kill. |
| 77952 I don't like your attitude. Listen well to what's said here tonightâ€â€perhaps you'll learn something. |
| 77953 Nothing too difficult. You'll be asked what you know about the Twofold Goddess, why you would join in her service, and what you have to offer the Trust. |
| 77954 I have spent my life searching for something I could believe in, to no avail. Yet something about this Twofold Goddess speaks to a deep part of me. I find myself compelled, as never before in my life, to serve her. |
| 77955 That could get difficult, seeing as I know nothing about the Twofold Goddess. Could you tell me more? |
| 77956 All I have to offer the Trust is its quick and well-deserved death. |
| 77957 The Twofold Trust needs a <PRO_MANWOMAN> like you. I'll put in a good word for you with Hammerhelm. |
| 77958 Many thanks. |
| 77959 The idea that Selûne and Shar are but aspects of a Twofold Goddess originated with the goddess herself. It's well known that the so-called "sisters" originally believed themselves a single being. |
| 77960 So what happened to change that? |
| 77961 The light-shadow duality inherent to the Twofold stands in stark contrast to Selûne worshippers' devotion to their so-called "illumination." And so the lie of the schism between the "sisters" was bornâ€â€a lie told to keep the gullible from turning their backs on Selûne. |
| 77962 And Shar's worshippers? |
| 77963 That's easy to say, but where is the evidence? |
| 77964 One of many lies being told about Shar and Selûne, I suspect. |
| 77965 Indeed. So many lies have been told of the Twofold Goddess that it was very difficult, nearly impossible, to determine the truthâ€â€until Collus discovered it. |
| 77966 How did he manage that? |
| 77967 You've explained how Selûne's followers came to deny the Twofold Goddess. What of Shar's? |
| 77968 I look forward to hearing more about that. |
| 77969 As with Selûne, Shar's servants originally worshipped the Twofold. Those who would become leaders of the Sharran sect also feared losing followers. To forestall such a loss, they embraced the Selûnites' lies. In the inquisition that followed, hundreds of the Twofold faithful were slaughtered. The Sharran's masters claimed they were purging their ranks of the weak, but the truth is they, like the Selûnites, acted out of fear of the truth. |
| 77970 You'll learn more during the address. Excuse me. |
| 77971 Well, well, well. Yet another seeker of truth in darkness and the light. |
| 77972 Good evening to you, sir. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 77973 Less a seeker of truth and more a seeker of Collus Darathon. |
| 77974 You have a problem with that? |
| 77975 Tell me, <CHARNAME>â€â€what makes you think you're worthy to serve the Twofold? |
| 77976 What makes you think you're worthy to judge me? |
| 77977 I figured, being a new goddess and all, she'd be willing to take what followers she could get. |
| 77978 What makes you think I'm here to serve the Twofold? |
| 77979 I am Fenuku. I was among the first to receive the Truth from Collus. |
| 77980 I am honored to meet you, Fenuku. |
| 77981 Oh. I guess you are worthy to judge me. |
| 77982 You adopted the new and untested beliefs of a heretic. Am I supposed to be impressed? |
| 77983 Yes. Yes, you are. |
| 77984 You are clearly a man of high standing within Collus's organization. Could you tell me a little about him? |
| 77985 Please, don't let me keep you from your important business of shoving and bullying those who seek to learn the Twofold Truth. |
| 77986 I am slightly less honored, though substantially more entertained, to kill you. |
| 77987 Everything you need to know you'll be told shortly. I'll not be wasting my time with the likes of you. |
| 77988 I'll waste no more time on the likes of you. |
| 77989 You'll want to watch your tone, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 77990 Forgive my impertinence. I have a tendency to fall back on sarcasm when I'm nervous. You clearly know much of Collus and his organization. Could you tell me a little about it? |
| 77991 I'd rather watch your back as you walk away. |
| 77992 And you'll want to watch your step, you thundering oaf. |
| 77993 I've a problem with ignorant gawkers who would ride Collus's cloak. |
| 77994 Believe me, all I want is to understand the truth of the Twofold. Please tell me about your experiences with Collus. |
| 77995 Who'd want to ride that cloak? As far as I can tell, the only place it's going is straight into the jaws of the Sharrans or the Sun Soul order. |
| 77996 I've a problem with overbearing louts putting on airs. |
| 77997 Those faded cults will choke on the Twofold Truth! |
| 77998 You seem very confident of the rightness of Collus's beliefs. |
| 77999 I doubt they're overly concerned about the beliefs of a motley collection of heretics. |
| 78000 And you will choke on your own blood. |
| 78001 If not that, then why are you here? |
| 78002 To learn more of the Twofold. Not to serve, but to learn. |
| 78003 To learn more of this Collus Darathon. |
| 78004 To spill blood. Yours will do for a start. |
| 78005 You arrogant dog! Die! |
| 78006 You threaten me? |
| 78007 What would you know of him? |
| 78008 Everything. How did he come to discover the Twofold Truth? Why would you follow him and his new goddess? |
| 78009 Where can I find him? |
| 78010 His weaknesses, primarily. Anything that'll make it easier to kill him. |
| 78011 They seek to harm Collus! Kill them! |
| 78012 You can't. Only those who seek to join the Twofold Trust are told his location. |
| 78013 I seek to join the Twofold Trust. |
| 78014 Better than you have tried. |
| 78015 The Trust has more than beliefs, <PRO_RACE>. We have evidence... |
| 78016 New and untested beliefs, <PRO_RACE>? You know nothing of our history. |
| 78017 I am here to learn. |
| 78018 You can't blame me for thatâ€â€your history only goes back, what, a couple weeks? |
| 78019 I know how it ends, fool. |
| 78020 The Trust is new, I'll give you that. But the goddess is older than Sun Soul or Dark Moon. |
| 78021 So says Darathon. |
| 78022 And yet the Selûnites and Sharrans have gone about their business for centuries without the truth coming to light. You find nothing suspicious in that? |
| 78023 A shame you'll not live to see your Trust grow and thrive. Not that I'll allow that to happen. |
| 78024 He's not making baseless claims! We have the evidence! |
| 78025 The false servants of Shar and Selûne have worked ceaselessly to suppress the truth of the Twofold. We have the proof. |
| 78026 Collus was a servant of Shar for many years. He was placed in charge of the Order's library in Purskul. It was while he recopied an ancient manuscript about to crumble to dust that he found the first reference to the great lie of the schism 'twixt Shar and Selûne. |
| 78027 Convenient that someone saw fit to make a record of the deception. |
| 78028 Hardly convenient, <PRO_RACE>. Collus had found a single loose thread, which would ultimately unravel the Dark Moon's lies. |
| 78029 His interest piqued, he began to research the topic, bringing in more than a dozen other Dark Moon monks to aid him. |
| 78030 When they had sufficient proof of Shar's true nature, Collus presented it to his superiors. |
| 78031 This may not have been the wisest of courses. |
| 78032 I'm guessing they welcomed this revelation with open arms? |
| 78033 And they declared it the heresy that it so obviously is. |
| 78034 If that were the case, there would be no need for us to meet in secret like this. |
| 78035 Rather than accepting the truth, they ordered Collus and his fellow researchers put to death. |
| 78036 All but Collus were slain fleeing from their masters. He alone remained to bring the truth to Shar and Selûne's followers alikeâ€â€that there is truth in light and darkness. |
| 78037 A compelling story. Where do I sign up to join your Twofold tribe? |
| 78038 That's as entertaining a yarn as I've heard all week. You have my thanks. |
| 78039 So Collus has no one to back up his account. |
| 78040 After the meeting is finished, you will be invited to answer a few questions. Depending on your answers, you may be asked to join the Trust. |
| 78041 I look forward to the opportunity. |
| 78042 Great! There's nothing I like better than a good pop quiz! |
| 78043 The only answer I will have is to invite the questioner to join the dead. |
| 78044 He has the documents. |
| 78045 Oh. Well, in that case, I'm convinced. Where do I sign up? |
| 78046 And documents have never been forged. |
| 78047 We'll be shown these documents? |
| 78048 Are you calling Collus a liar? |
| 78049 Not at all. I look forward to hearing more of his discovery. |
| 78050 I'm not calling him anything. I just find the circumstances of his supposed discovery... dubious. |
| 78051 I'm calling him a liar and you a soon-to-be-dead fool. |
| 78052 They are kept safe with Collus, in the secret temple of the Twofold Goddess. |
| 78053 I would see these documents and talk to this Darathon. |
| 78054 Safe from prying eyes, you mean. |
| 78055 I don't like what you're implying, <PRO_RACE>... |
| 78056 Forgive me, my friend. Every day I battle my cynical nature, but on this day, at least, it seems to have the best of me. I am here in the spirit of honest inquiry. |
| 78057 Then do yourself a favor and stop inferring it. You'll sleep better. |
| 78058 If you don't like my implication, you're really not going to like my actions. |
| 78059 It's not a heresy! It's the truthâ€â€the truth of the Twofold Goddess! |
| 78060 I meant that Darathon's masters would obviously see it as heresy, not that I do. Please, continue. |
| 78061 Did I say heresy? Sorry, I meant self-evident truth. Please, go on. |
| 78062 The Twofold Goddess is a manifold lie. Darathon has deceived you, you fool. |
| 78063 I've just been using the trees. |
| 78064 Works for me. Thanks. |
| 78065 You threaten me? |
| 78066 You noticed. Good for you. |
| 78067 Hear me, brothers and sisters! Hear me! |
| 78068 Welcome, all you who seek the truth where darkness meets the light. It is good to see so many of you here this evening. |
| 78069 I am Brother Hammerhelm. |
| 78070 Hammerhelm has turned against the Sun Soul philosophy? |
| 78071 He was one of Selûne's most dedicated followers once. |
| 78072 Those days appear to be well behind him. |
| 78073 Seems like you and he have something in common. |
| 78074 As were you. It is time you embraced the change. |
| 78075 Better I should be struck blind than see Hammerhelm's fall. |
| 78076 You would have me renounce Selûne? |
| 78077 Your brothers in the Sun Soul order have already renounced you. |
| 78078 How can you say that? You know my heart still belongs to Selûne. |
| 78079 Your brothers in the Sun Soul order would say otherwise. |
| 78080 They don't know the truth. |
| 78081 Because you lied to them. At least Hammerhelm's treachery is honest. |
| 78082 The truth is a slippery thing, Rasaad. The harder you hang onto it, the more surely it will escape your grasp. |
| 78083 Perhaps it's you who has yet to see the truth. |
| 78084 What would you have me do, <CHARNAME>? |
| 78085 What do you think Selûne would have you do in the face of this blasphemy? |
| 78086 Right now? Play along with our heretic friends. Later? Who knows? |
| 78087 Listen to Hammerhelm speak, for one thing. |
| 78088 Strike down the betrayer. Not for Selûne's sake, but your own. |
| 78089 What are you saying, <CHARNAME>? |
| 78090 Despite your vows, you have resorted to lies and deceit to achieve your ends. That's good. But it's not Selûne's way. |
| 78091 Nothing more than you're thinking, I'm sure. |
| 78092 I'm saying there's power here, and it's yours to take, Rasaad. So take it. |
| 78093 You would have me turn my back on Selûne? |
| 78094 I would have you do what best serves you, nothing more and nothing less. |
| 78095 At least consider your options, Rasaad. |
| 78096 Selûne offers you nothing but heartbreak and disappointment. You've served her long and well, and what have you gotten in return? |
| 78097 I... These things you say... The Moonmaiden is everything to me... |
| 78098 Obviously, you have heard and are curious about our supposed "heresy." There are those who have a vested interest in ensuring our true goddess remain forever split in twain. |
| 78099 Amen, Brother Hammerhelm! |
| 78100 A vested interest in the truth, you mean! |
| 78101 But why? What possible advantage could there be to splitting a goddess's power? |
| 78102 As you have a vested interest in promoting your heresy. |
| 78103 Obviously, you have heard and are curious about our supposed "heresy." There are those who have a vested interest in ensuring our true goddess remain forever split in twain. |
| 78104 Selûne and Shar followers are not evilâ€â€merely misguided. Their masters have worked diligently to ensure their eyes remain forever closed to the truth. |
| 78105 You are the one who has closed your eyes to the truth, Hammerhelm! |
| 78106 What� Who is� Rasaad? Is that you? |
| 78107 It is I, Hammerhelm. Though you will soon wish otherwise. |
| 78108 I knew the stories of your turning against the Sun Soul couldn't be true. |
| 78109 I could never turn against Selûne, Hammerhelm! Would that you could say the same. |
| 78110 If you will not turn against your false goddess, Rasaad, then you will die for her. Get them! |
| 78111 Wait! Before you attack, think! How many of you were raised in Selûne's light? In the protective shadow of Shar? |
| 78112 Nice going, Rasaad. Maybe next time make your speech somewhere a little less filled to the brim with slavering madmen. |
| 78113 You will die first, Hammerhelm, and the poisonous lies you spread shall die with you. |
| 78114 Kill them! Kill them all! In the Twofold Goddess's name! |
| 78115 I was raised with the Sun Soul's lies! I will endure their deceit no longer! |
| 78116 Who is that? Who denies the truth of the Twofold Goddess? |
| 78117 I am <CHARNAME>, and I'll hear no more of your lies. |
| 78118 I deny the lies of Collus Darathon! |
| 78119 Yeah, who denies that? Me? No, no, I think you're mistaken... |
| 78120 You speak to me of lies? For twenty years, all I knew were the lies of the Sun Soul orderâ€â€and then a man named Collus Darathon came into my life. |
| 78121 Darathon is a liar, and you are a traitor, Hammerhelm! |
| 78122 More lies! I'll hear no more! Seize them! |
| 78123 You've all been misled, turned into heretics by Alorgoth! |
| 78124 Alorgoth? You accuse me of following the leader of the Dark Moon? I'll have your head for this insult! |
| 78125 For fifteen years, I knew peace in service to the Moonmaiden. |
| 78126 While I found solace in the worship of Shar. |
| 78127 Then why are you listening to this charlatan? He tempts you from what you know to be true. |
| 78128 Yet you stand here, shoulder to shoulder with your sworn enemies. Collus Darathon would make slaves of you all, but worse, he makes you an enemy of the goddess you have sworn to serve! |
| 78129 You see? You see? How do you think your goddesses would feel if they could see you here today? |
| 78130 Strike the heretic down! |
| 78131 You've been lied to, my friends, and this one keeps on lying to you. They must pay for their deceit! |
| 78132 They'd be glad, for you finally realized the truth. |
| 78133 The goddess has power, it is trueâ€â€but there is also power in her followers. It's those who claim to speak for Selûne and Shar who have lied to you. They've kept you apart, kept you servile, the better to pursue their own twisted agendas. |
| 78134 My interest is in revealing the truthâ€â€nothing more and nothing less. |
| 78135 Do you even know what the truth looks like anymore, Hammerhelm? |
| 78136 Spoken like a man looking to line his pockets. |
| 78137 The same hollow promises of all false prophets. |
| 78138 Collus Darathon is no false prophet. He has uncovered the truth of the Twofold Goddess and risked his life to bring it to you. |
| 78139 Collus Darathon is here? |
| 78140 You've convinced me. Where do I sign up to join yourâ€â€what do you call this, anyway? |
| 78141 You would join the Twofold Trust? |
| 78142 Trustâ€â€good one. Yes. I want to join that. |
| 78143 Your jester's tongue has made that an impossibility, <PRO_RACE>. The Trust is not for such as you. |
| 78144 Perhaps you are right. |
| 78145 Well, I gave it a shot. Best of luck with your heretical cult, Hammerhelm. |
| 78146 You've made a mistake, Hammerhelm. But you'll not live long to regret it. |
| 78147 We'll see about that! Guards, kill the blasphemers! |
| 78148 If it's not for them, what about me? I have turned against all I've known and loved to pursue the Twofold Truth. Would you turn me away now, Hammerhelm? |
| 78149 I know I've an inappropriate tendency to make light of things, Hammerhelm, but you know Rasaad is another matter. Would you truly deny him the solace of the Twofold Goddess? |
| 78150 Forget it, Rasaad. You can do better than this pack of liars. |
| 78151 Enough of this deception, Rasaad. This man has betrayed everything you believe in. He must pay for that. |
| 78152 Very well. In the spirit of the brotherhood we once shared and will share again in service to the Twofold Goddess, I shall take you at your word, Rasaad. Follow me. |
| 78153 I am truly sorry, Rasaad. But I cannot risk Collus's safety, not even for you. |
| 78154 Your sympathy is as hollow as your false goddess. |
| 78155 You're better off with a pack of wolves than a pack of liars, Rasaad. |
| 78156 We could've done this the easy way, Hammerhelm. Before I end your worthless life, just know: You chose this. |
| 78157 The unfaithful have infiltrated our meeting! Guards, kill them all! |
| 78158 You understand I cannot let you leave this place alive? |
| 78159 The Twofold Goddess is just as forgiving as Shar. |
| 78160 You understand I'm going to knock your teeth so far down your throat your feet will rattle? |
| 78161 Try and stop us. See how far your two-faced she-dog of a goddess gets you. |
| 78162 Guards! Take them! |
| 78163 Hollow threats. |
| 78164 You call the Twofold Goddess false? |
| 78165 Collus is safe in the Twofold temple. |
| 78166 And where is that? |
| 78167 Preaching to the converted? An interesting choice for someone claiming to disseminate the truth. |
| 78168 He hides! He hides from those whose questions he fears. |
| 78169 We of the Twofold Trust spread the word. Our leader must be kept safe from his enemies. |
| 78170 I would speak with Collus. |
| 78171 Couldn't agree more. I volunteer to help keep him safe. Where do I sign up? Will ink do, or should I use my own blood? |
| 78172 Your leader is a coward, and you are a fool. |
| 78173 I think not. |
| 78174 Only a coward hides from the truth. |
| 78175 Yes, that much is clear. |
| 78176 And in a few seconds, you'll speak not as well. |
| 78177 I'm not hiding, <PRO_RACE>. Ask me what you will. |
| 78178 How do I speak to Collus? |
| 78179 You offer us words and promises, but no evidence. Why should I believe you over all the other beggars standing on street corners, preaching the word of this god or that? |
| 78180 The only question I have for you is whether you prefer burial or funeral pyre. |
| 78181 Why isn't Collus here? |
| 78182 He should be spreading the word, not lurking in some hidden temple. |
| 78183 I offer you the truth. Take it or don't; it's none of my concern. |
| 78184 I want to take it, Hammerhelm. But I can't while your leader hides himself away. |
| 78185 Fine, I'll take it. |
| 78186 You offer lies! |
| 78187 To you, I offer death! Guards, take them! |
| 78188 You'llâ€â€what? |
| 78189 I'll take the truth. I want to sign up and become one of your Twofold followers. Show me the way, Hammerhelm. |
| 78190 For Collus's safety, the temple location is a secret. |
| 78191 Only those who undertake to serve the Twofold Goddess are permitted access to the temple. |
| 78192 Then I would undertake to serve the Twofold Goddess. |
| 78193 Convenient. |
| 78194 We need no one's permission, monk. All we need is the temple's location. If you'd live to see the dawn, you'll give it to us. |
| 78195 I'd sooner die than see the likes of you join the Trust. |
| 78196 As you wish. |
| 78197 In bringing us the truth, Collus Darathon made himself a target of both the Dark Moon and the Sun Soul orders. He made that sacrifice willingly, but he's not going to do his would-be assassins' work for them. |
| 78198 All right. I undertake to serve the Twofold Goddess. Where do I sign up? |
| 78199 That's the problem with assassins these days. So lazy. |
| 78200 A shame. I'd like to have someone do my work for me. |
| 78201 Enough of your cheek. Begone! |
| 78202 You have the courage of Darathon's convictions, Hammerhelm. Like him, you cannot tolerate any who question your false deity. |
| 78203 Really? And here I thought we were finally getting through to each other. |
| 78204 We'll be gone soon enough, Hammerhelm. But you'll be gone sooner still, to a place from which you'll never return. |
| 78205 Hammerhelm! Forget them. I am Rasaad. You know me. I have turned against all I've known and loved to pursue the Twofold Truth. Would you turn me away now? |
| 78206 I know I've an inappropriate tendency to make light of things, Hammerhelm, but you know Rasaad is another matter. Would you truly deny him the solace of the Twofold Goddess? |
| 78207 Forget it, Rasaad. Better to run with a pack of dogs than this pack of liars. |
| 78208 Enough deception, Rasaad! This man has betrayed everything you believe in. He must pay for that! |
| 78209 I'll give you the temple's location, <PRO_RACE>. You'll find nothing there but your own doom. The Twofold watches and protects Collus. |
| 78210 We shall see, Hammerhelm. We shall see. |
| 78211 The truth is all who would oppose the Twofold Goddess must die. Kill them! |
| 78212 Stay your hands and think for just a second! Think! How many of you were raised in Selûne's light? In the protective shadow of Shar? |
| 78213 I agree. Death to all who stand against the Twofold Goddess! |
| 78214 Take your best shot, you fools. But know you do a false goddess's work! |
| 78215 You didn't really think that would work, did you, <PRO_RACE>? Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 78216 Take them now! |
| 78217 Cut their lying tongues from their skulls! |
| 78218 You didn't really think that would work, did you, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 78219 That what would work? |
| 78220 Kill them! |
| 78221 What? Why? I didn't do anything! |
| 78222 Hrmm. Well. Perhaps I misheard... |
| 78223 I think you must have. Please, proceed with the sermon. |
| 78224 Where was I...? |
| 78225 "There are those who have a vested interest in ensuring our true goddess remain forever split in twain." |
| 78226 Right. Right. So anyway... |
| 78227 The Twofold Goddess asks for nothing more than what those who serve her are willing to part with. |
| 78228 And if one were interested in serving her, how would one go about that? |
| 78229 Luckily, I've got bugger-all to offer, so this deal sounds good to me. Do you have a sign-up list, or is this a walk-in kind of a deal? |
| 78230 What about you, Hammerhelm? What will you part with for your false mistress? |
| 78231 The Sun Soul and Shar followers are not evilâ€â€merely misguided. Their masters have worked diligently to ensure their eyes remain forever closed to the truth. |
| 78232 Preach it, Brother! Twofold Goddess, m-hmm! |
| 78233 Not evil? Have you ever met a Dark Moon follower? |
| 78234 I'll close your eyes permanently, heretic. |
| 78235 I have met many who followed that false philosophy in the past few months. And I say again, they are not evil; they are just as I wasâ€â€blinded by the false dogmas of their masters. Just as my eyes were opened to the truth, so were theirsâ€â€and so can yours, my friend. |
| 78236 For Selûne! |
| 78237 Obviously, you've heard and are curious about our supposed "heresy." There are those who have a vested interest in ensuring our true goddess remain forever split in twain. |
| 78238 Hammerhelm! Betrayer! |
| 78239 Who... I know that voice... Rasaad, is that you? |
| 78240 You know my nameâ€â€now know my vengeance! |
| 78241 And the truth is, simply, that there is no Shar. No Selûne. That these so-called sisters are anything but. Am I my own brother? |
| 78242 You're barely even someone's son! Tell us the WORD, brother! |
| 78243 Is that a trick question? |
| 78244 You were this man's brother, once. |
| 78245 I knew a man who was his own brother once. He didn't want to leave his mother's bellyâ€â€they had to pull him out twice! |
| 78246 Hammerhelm! |
| 78247 What� Who is... Rasaad? You came! My brother! I'm so glad to see you! |
| 78248 Would that the reunion were under more auspicious circumstances. |
| 78249 Well, that was substantially more welcoming than what I was expecting... |
| 78250 Don't be. We haven't come here for a reunion. |
| 78251 I wish I could say it was good to see you, Hammerhelm. I'd rather have died than see you revealed for a heretic! |
| 78252 I received word that the Sun Soul had turned their backs on you. It was I who had you invited here tonight. |
| 78253 You would have Rasaad join the Two-faced Heretics? |
| 78254 Well, isn't that a nice gesture? |
| 78255 Your mistake, Hammerhelm. |
| 78256 I would have him among the Twofold Trust. Only a fool would not want such a man as Rasaad yn Bashir to stand beside them. Give Collus Darathon a chance to open your eyes as he has mine. |
| 78257 Darathon's here? |
| 78258 The Sun Soul order obviously has little use for you now, Rasaad. This could give your life renewed purpose. |
| 78259 What Darathon has opened, we shall close... permanently. |
| 78260 Of course not. You're here to learn the Twofold Truth. |
| 78261 Rasaad already knows the truth. Don't you, Rasaad? |
| 78262 I'd settle for a singlefold truth, if one were available. |
| 78263 Yes. I would know more of your Twofold Goddess. |
| 78264 The Twofold Goddess holds all the answers you seek. |
| 78265 I... I didn't expect to see you here, Hammerhelm. |
| 78266 Oh, my friend, you have no idea. There are so many things you'll see that you never even suspected, if you open your mind and heart to the Twofold Truth. Give Collus a chance to open your eyes as mine have been opened. |
| 78267 Collus Darathon is here? |
| 78268 You never struck me as one to turn your back on the truth, Rasaad. |
| 78269 Open eyes, but an empty mind. The world will be better off with you and your master erased from it. |
| 78270 Don't be so quick to judge, Rasaad. I know you to be a man of wisdom and honor. Surely you can see the flaws in the Sun Soul philosophy. |
| 78271 Don't listen to him. He betrayed Selûne; he'll do the same to you. |
| 78272 Even you must admit they have their flaws, Rasaad. Wanting your head on a pike springs to mind. |
| 78273 You should hear him out, Rasaad. This heresy may have more to offer you than the Sun Soul orthodoxy. |
| 78274 I betrayed� Nay, I was the victim of the Moonmaiden's followers. In that regard, we are no different. |
| 78275 I still have many friends in the Sun Soul order, Rasaad. They already accuse you of embracing the Twofold Truth and seek your end. Give Collus Darathon a chance to open your eyes as he has mine. |
| 78276 Darathon is here? |
| 78277 He's got a point. You don't have a whole lot of people to call friends at the moment. |
| 78278 Your eyes are open, but you see nothing. I'd tell you to prepare to meet your goddess face-to-face, but as she's a fictional character, I'm afraid what awaits you in death will be substantially less pleasant. |
| 78279 Collus has too many enemies to venture far outside the Twofold temple. But if you give me your word you'll hear Collus out, I'll tell you where to find him. |
| 78280 Yeah, that's not going to happen. The only thing I want to hear from Darathon is his last dying breaths. |
| 78281 Whom do you want me to swear to? Shar, Selûne, the Twofold Goddess? I could do Tymora or Gruumsh, if you'd like. |
| 78282 On my honor, I swear I'll hear Collus out. |
| 78283 You make light of serious mattersâ€â€I'm not impressed. But I'll give you a chance, if Rasaad will do the same for Collus. |
| 78284 Go ahead, Rasaad. |
| 78285 I cannot do it, Hammerhelm. |
| 78286 How did I know that was what you were going to say? Oh right. I've met you. |
| 78287 I have sacrificed much seeking Alorgoth, <CHARNAME>. But I will not sacrifice my honor. |
| 78288 I hear you. I just hope you don't end up sacrificing both our lives. |
| 78289 You would have me swear to listen to my brother's murderer, <CHARNAME>? No! I won't do it! |
| 78290 Damn it, Rasaad, Hammerhelm was ready to deliver Darathon to us on a silver platter. |
| 78291 And all it would cost is my honor. Too high a price by far. |
| 78292 All right. I guess we do this the hard way. |
| 78293 It is I, Hammerhelm. Though you'll soon wish otherwise. |
| 78294 I knew the stories of your turning against the Sun Soul couldn't be true. |
| 78295 I could never turn against Selûne, Hammerhelm. Would that you could say the same. |
| 78296 If you won't turn against your false goddess, Rasaad, then you will die for her. Get them! |
| 78297 Wait! All of you! Before you attack, think! How many of you were raised in Selûne's light? In the protective shadow of Shar? |
| 78298 Nice going, Rasaad. Maybe next time make your speech somewhere a little less filled to the brim with slavering madmen. |
| 78299 You will die first, Hammerhelm, and the poisonous lies you spread shall die with you. |
| 78300 I am torn, <CHARNAME>. What say you? |
| 78301 I say that regardless of your standing with the Sun Soul order, your heart belongs to Selûne. |
| 78302 You have sacrificed almost everything you have on this journey. You must press on. |
| 78303 What do I say? I say it's a wonder we haven't already slain this treacherous dog. |
| 78304 You are right, of course. I could never turn my back on my vows. |
| 78305 I beg you to reconsider, Rasaad. Collus Darathon has much to offer. |
| 78306 All I want from that monster is his life. |
| 78307 I am fortunate I still have you to counsel me. Very well, Hammerhelm. I would know more of your Twofold Truth. How do I proceed? |
| 78308 Of course not. And neither is Selûne a sister to Shar. My friends, I stand before you in the lightâ€â€and shadowâ€â€of the Twofold Goddess. I can thank a man named Collus Darathon for that. |
| 78309 Praise him! Praise Darathon! |
| 78310 Collus Darathon? Are you sure you don't mean Alorgoth? |
| 78311 You can also thank him for your imminent demise. |
| 78312 You think this is funny, <CHARNAME>? Remember who Darathon actually is. |
| 78313 I was a monk of the Sun Soul order, Collus a librarian for the Dark Moon sect. When he contacted me, I thought, "What common ground could we possibly share?" |
| 78314 Tell us, Hammerhelm! What ground did you share? |
| 78315 If I have my druthers, you'll share a grave! |
| 78316 He opened my eyes, my friends. He revealed unto me the Twofold Truth. And he can do the same for you. |
| 78317 Open my eyes, Hammerhelm! Yea, yea, open them! |
| 78318 Would that he had closed your mouth, heretic! |
| 78319 If you would know more of the Twofold Truthâ€â€if you would become a member of the Twofold Trustâ€â€then stick around. Members of the Trust are here tonight to personally answer your every question. I myself will be happy to discuss the Twofold revelation with any of you. Thank you again. Thank the goddess for those with the wit and the will to see things as they truly are. |
| 78320 Hammerhelm! Hammerhelm! Your words have touched me somewhere deep inside. Tell me how I can serve the Twofold Goddess! |
| 78321 Now's your chance, Rasaad. Confront the traitor. |
| 78322 There's nothing for you here, Rasaad. We should get out while we're still able. |
| 78323 Flee if you must, <CHARNAME>. I've come too far, lost too much to turn back now. |
| 78324 HAMMERHELM! |
| 78325 What� Who is... Rasaad? You came! My brother! I'm so glad to see you! |
| 78326 You are? |
| 78327 Your tone makes me doubt your sincerity. |
| 78328 A life in service to the goddess is not for the weak. If you wish to join our order, you must prove yourself. |
| 78329 He is? |
| 78330 I'd expect nothing less. |
| 78331 It seems to me this Two-faced Goddess has more to prove than I do. |
| 78332 And what if I killed you, what would that prove? Would you accept that as compelling evidence of your goddess's falsehood? |
| 78333 Ach. I took you for someone worthy to join the Trust. But your vile tongue reveals you for the unbeliever you are. |
| 78334 Ignore them, Hammerhelm. You know me. You know I have turned against all I've known and loved to pursue the Twofold Truth. Would you turn me away now? |
| 78335 I know I've an inappropriate tendency to make light of things, Hammerhelm, but you know Rasaad is another matter. Would you truly deny him the solace of the Twofold Goddess? |
| 78336 Forget it, Rasaad. Better to run with a pack of feral gerbils than this pack of liars. |
| 78337 No more, Rasaad! This man has betrayed everything you believe in. He must be made to pay! |
| 78338 You speak earnestly and from the heart. Come with me. I've someone you should meet. |
| 78339 Good evening, Brother Kelner. Who have you brought to me this evening |
| 78340 Hammerhelm? You are... one of these? |
| 78341 Rasaad! |
| 78342 You know each other? |
| 78343 Oh crap, he knows who you are. Let's get out of here. |
| 78344 Hammerhelm is... was... one of the most respected elders of the Sun Soul order. |
| 78345 My friend, it is so good to see you here. |
| 78346 Oh. He doesn't want to kill you. That's good. |
| 78347 Kill Rasaad yn Bashir? Hah! I might as well slit my own wrists and save some time. But I must admit I'm surprised. I never thought you, of all people, would turn against Selûne. |
| 78348 My friend, it is so good to see you hereâ€â€though I must admit I'm surprised. I never thought you, of all people, would turn against Selûne. |
| 78349 I would never |
| 78350 Turn away from the truth. And he senses the truth in the Twofold philosophy, like I do. |
| 78351 Blindly follow dogma. I know Rasaad has always appeared to be a resolute defender of the Selûnite sect, but he never surrendered his open mind. |
| 78352 Turn against Selûne. Unfortunately, asking questions about the Twofold Goddess turned his sect upon him. Just days ago, he was attacked by those who once called him teacher and friend. |
| 78353 Suffer a traitor and a heretic to Selûne to live! |
| 78354 I heard about that. It's unfortunate not all of the Sun Soul order are as willing to open their eyes to the truth as we are, Rasaad. |
| 78355 It... is as you say, Hammerhelm. |
| 78356 Rasaad's made himself an enemy of both the Sun Soul and Dark Moon orders. He seeks refuge in service to Collus Darathon and the Twofold Goddess, like I do. |
| 78357 Of course it is! How else could it be? |
| 78358 Oh please, Rasaad. If you're going to deceive this moron, at least put a little effort into it. You couldn't convince a child to eat a sweet. |
| 78359 Rasaad? Are you all right? |
| 78360 I am fine, Hammerhelm. It's justâ€â€seeing you again, in this context... It's a lot to take in. |
| 78361 He's had a rough few months, but he'll pull through. Now tell us more about how we get to see Collus Darathon. |
| 78362 So you would join the Trust, would you? |
| 78363 We would. |
| 78364 The Trust? I thought you said "the crust," as in, the upper crust? You mean this isn't a meeting of prospective noblemen and women? |
| 78365 I would sooner be a wounded gazelle joining a pack of jackals. |
| 78366 Rasaad, I know this must be difficult for you. But believe me, once you speak with Collus, you'll never question turning against the Sun Soul deceivers. |
| 78367 Will we be able to talk with Collus soon? |
| 78368 I'm sure you're right. When will we be able to talk with Master Darathon? |
| 78369 You have no idea how difficult things have been for Rasaad, Hammerhelm. But you're about to get a little taste of what he's gone through. |
| 78370 Has your friend taken leave of their senses, Rasaad? |
| 78371 Ignore them. Their sense of humor is... idiosyncratic. |
| 78372 You are the picture of diplomacy, Rasaad. Most would call it ridiculous, and consider themselves charitable in doing so. |
| 78373 Tell us more of how we proceed from here. |
| 78374 You must go to the Twofold temple. There, you'll be tested. I have every confidence in Rasaad's ability to surmount whatever obstacle is placed before him. |
| 78375 As do I. |
| 78376 Tests? I don't like the sound of that. What sort of tests? |
| 78377 Your faith is well placed. For instance, you are an obstacle. Are you ready to be surmounted? |
| 78378 Difficult tests. The Twofold Goddess has little use for the weak. |
| 78379 She is attempting to make a joke. It doesn't come naturally to her. |
| 78380 Your zeal is inspiring, Rasaad. |
| 78381 You have no idea. |
| 78382 Indeed. It inspires me to groan inwardly at the thought of what awaits. |
| 78383 While yours is sickening. |
| 78384 Here is a map to the temple. When you get there, tell them "The brightest light casts the darkest shadow." That will gain you entry. |
| 78385 The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. |
| 78386 All in good time, my friend. Collus can be found at the Twofold Temple. You must seek him out there. |
| 78387 Sounds easy enough. |
| 78388 That is wonderful news. The Twofold Trust needs all the good people it can get. The Dark Moon seeks to destroy us utterly, while the Sun Soul order would do anything to silence us. |
| 78389 I'm delighted you would consider joining us, Rasaad. |
| 78390 So what do we do next? |
| 78391 Well, it's not like he's been left with a whole lot of choice, has he? |
| 78392 Hold on to that feeling. You're going to need it in the next few seconds. |
| 78393 It was good to see you again, Hammerhelm. |
| 78394 And you, Rasaad. May the Twofold smile upon you in your journey. |
| 78395 I'm sure she will. |
| 78396 You say such a thing and you call yourself Rasaad's friend? |
| 78397 I'm friend enough to tell him the truth. |
| 78398 You'd lie to his face and call him friend. Is that somehow better? |
| 78399 I call myself an honest <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Is that a problem for you? |
| 78400 If Rasaad can tolerate you, I can do the same. |
| 78401 I know I can be difficult sometimes, Hammerhelm. I appreciate your forbearance. |
| 78402 Don't do me any favors, monk. |
| 78403 You are a credit to your false goddess, Hammerhelm. |
| 78404 It's rapidly becoming one. |
| 78405 Ignore them, Hammerhelm. My friend is blunt, but I value their counsel greatly. |
| 78406 Have I offended you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>? If so, I apologize. |
| 78407 Apology accepted. So what's the next step in our quest to find Collus Darathoâ€â€I mean, to join the Twofold Trust? |
| 78408 I'm joking! Yeesh, what is it with you monks? |
| 78409 You're breathing my air, monk. I'm afraid I can't have that. |
| 78410 What are you saying? |
| 78411 I'm saying the deception ends here. |
| 78412 What am I saying, Rasaad? |
| 78413 I'm saying your fleshless skull will frown before I'll have any part of your vile cult. |
| 78414 Deception? |
| 78415 Did you truly believe Rasaad could ever turn his back on the Sun Soul order? Really? |
| 78416 We seek Collus Darathon, but not for the reasons we said. |
| 78417 I'm afraid our business with Collus Darathon is less service oriented than we made out. Unless funeral services count. |
| 78418 You would threaten Collus to my face, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 78419 Only because circumstance prevents me from killing him. |
| 78420 Butâ€â€you were seen fighting other Sun Soul members! |
| 78421 Things are not always what they seem. If you haven't figured that out yet, you will very, very shortly. |
| 78422 Yes, well. It seems the only thing dumber than a follower of the Dark Moon heresy is an adherent to the Sun Soul order. |
| 78423 A misunderstanding. One that the death of Collus Darathon and your Twofold Heresy should clear up handily. |
| 78424 I pray Selûne will forgive me my deception. I do only what's necessary to avenge my brother. |
| 78425 Butâ€â€Gamaz was killed by Alorgoth. |
| 78426 Butâ€â€Gamaz was killed by Alorgoth. |
| 78427 I believe Collus Darathon and Alorgoth are one and the same. |
| 78428 Your grief has driven you to madness, Rasaad! Collus seeks to topple the Dark Moon order just as he does the Sun Soul. He is Alorgoth's sworn enemy! |
| 78429 Whether Darathon and Alorgoth are the same person is irrelevant. To regain Rasaad's standing with the Sun Soul order, he must die, whoever he is. |
| 78430 We reckon Collus, Alorgothâ€â€whatever he calls himselfâ€â€is pretty sneaky. |
| 78431 Sorry, Rasaad. I call them like I see them. |
| 78432 Have a care, <CHARNAME>. I am standing right here. |
| 78433 My apologies, Rasaad. |
| 78434 Sorry, Rasaad. I call them like I see them. |
| 78435 I know half a dozen men who've turned from the Dark Moon order. Men who've met Alorgoth, who've worked for him! If Darathon were an impostor, they would know. |
| 78436 Maybe so. Rasaad would like to see for himself, and I, for one, think that's a worthy goal. |
| 78437 These men you speak ofâ€â€do they possess the kind of rock-solid judgment you've displayed this evening? If so, I'd hardly trust them to recognize their own reflection. |
| 78438 It's of no consequence. Rasaad has chosen his path. You are just a bump in that path. |
| 78439 Forgive me, Hammerhelm. I have come here under false pretenses... If it makes a difference, I know Selûne will judge me harshly for my deception. But I do what I must to find my brother's murderer. |
| 78440 You would threaten me, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 78441 No, Hammerhelm. Not threaten. Kill. |
| 78442 Guards! Guards! |
| 78443 Guards! Slay these deceivers! |
| 78444 Rasaad yn Bashir! We have found you at last! Come, face the vengeance of Selûne! |
| 78445 Who are you? |
| 78446 Selûne's here? Fantastic, I've been hoping to meet her. She's got some questions to answer. |
| 78447 Selûne will judge Rasaad in her own time. Right now, you will answer to me. |
| 78448 Stand aside. Our business is with the traitor. |
| 78449 There's more to this than you understand, Sixscar. |
| 78450 I understand you are a traitor and a murderer, and you will pay for your crimes. |
| 78451 You call Rasaad a murderer? I don't believe it. |
| 78452 Let's just back it up a moment. Who are you again? |
| 78453 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Murderer? |
| 78454 I'm impressed, Rasaad. I knew you'd betrayed the Sun Soul order, but murder? I didn't think you had it in you. |
| 78455 You think I would kill my friends? My students? You don't know me at all, <CHARNAME>. |
| 78456 What you believe is of no consequence. We know who slew our brothers and sisters, and he will pay for his perfidy. |
| 78457 We are the Tears of Selûne. We will avenge our fallen brothers and sisters. |
| 78458 Fallen brothers and sisters? |
| 78459 Do not play the fool with us, Bashir. The Tears of Selûne will not fall prey to your deceit. |
| 78460 Now you see what happens when you choose the path of deception, Rasaad. |
| 78461 Play the fool? Who's playing? I have no idea what you're babbling on about. |
| 78462 The Tears of Selûne will fall prey to my wrath. |
| 78463 I did what I thought needed to be done, <CHARNAME>. Selûne will judge me for my duplicity. |
| 78464 She'll judge you for more than that, murderer! |
| 78465 You accuse me of murder? |
| 78466 I need accuse you of nothing, traitor. Your victims accuse you from beyond the grave. |
| 78467 You sound like a madwoman. Explain yourself. |
| 78468 Making accusations from beyond the grave? That's pretty impressive. When I'm dead, the most I plan to do is mold a little bit. |
| 78469 Prepare to join them! |
| 78470 You mock our fallen brothers and sisters? |
| 78471 I would never mock the dead. You accuse my friend of a grave crime. Where is your evidence? |
| 78472 No, no, you misunderstand. I'm mocking you. |
| 78473 Sometimes you've just got to laugh. No, not laugh. The other thing. Die in agony. |
| 78474 Scrawled in blood on the wall of the Sun Soul temple, in the hand of one of his victims. |
| 78475 There is only one man I would have as a victim, and he's never set foot in any Sun Soul temple. |
| 78476 You were my teacher and my friend, Rasaad, but I'll not be swayed by any more of your lies. |
| 78477 I have no need to lie, Ghell Rando. I know nothing of the crimes you accuse me of. Please, tell me what has happened. |
| 78478 Stand aside, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. The Tears of Selûne have no quarrel with you. |
| 78479 You have a problem with Rasaad, which means you have a problem with me. |
| 78480 Oh. Good. I'll just be going now, then. |
| 78481 What's Selûne got to be crying over? She's a goddess, for pity's sake! |
| 78482 I beg to differ. |
| 78483 The Moonmaiden weeps for her fallen servants. |
| 78484 Fallen servants� Tell me, who has fallen? |
| 78485 As if you don't already know. |
| 78486 If you won't answer him, then indulge me. Who has died? |
| 78487 He may know, but I'm clueless. What the hell's going on here? |
| 78488 I know not and care not for who has diedâ€â€far more interesting is who's about to. |
| 78489 You threaten us, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 78490 And if I do? |
| 78491 I'll do more than threaten, you sniveling wretch. |
| 78492 Restrain yourself, <CHARNAME>, I beg you. I must know what has happened to my friends. |
| 78493 You dare to call your victims friends, murderer? |
| 78494 I tell you I am no murderer. What has happened in Athkatla? |
| 78495 If you stand with this murderer, you shall share his fate. |
| 78496 Again you accuse him of murder. Where is your evidence? |
| 78497 I've shared worse fates in my time. |
| 78498 That may be true. What is undeniably true is that you will share the fate of his supposed victims. |
| 78499 Our evidence? Our evidence is scrawled on the wall of our temple, in the blood of those he murdered. |
| 78500 You know me, Ghell Rando. You must know that whatever has occurred, I could have no part in it. |
| 78501 Everyone! We are all that remains of Athkatla's Sun Soul chapter. |
| 78502 What� That... that cannot be... |
| 78503 Stand aside, <PRO_RACE>. This doesn't concern you. |
| 78504 It concerns my friend. It concerns me. |
| 78505 If only that were true. |
| 78506 It's true that you don't concern meâ€â€I am rarely concerned by the dead. |
| 78507 They stand with the traitor! Kill them all! |
| 78508 Feel the wrath of Selûne's Tears! |
| 78509 Standing with this murderer makes you an accomplice to his crimes. Go now, while you are still able. |
| 78510 You accuse my friend of crimes he didn't commit. I'll not abandon him in his time of need. |
| 78511 Yeah, all right. |
| 78512 Bold words. You really think you can back them up? |
| 78513 I appreciate your support, <CHARNAME>, but perhaps it would be best if you were to depart. |
| 78514 I won't consider such a thing, certainly not until I know exactly what they accuse you of. |
| 78515 Obviously it would be best for me, but I'm damned if I'll let these murderous goons take you without a fight. |
| 78516 I'll see them departed first, one way or the other. |
| 78517 If only they were just thugs looking for a brawl. I know these people, <CHARNAME>. I was a teacher to some of them, a friend to others. Though I am currently at odds with the Sun Soul order, the fact that they're here now, accusing me of such vile acts... I know not what has occurred in Athkatla, but my heart is heavy with the dread possibilities. |
| 78518 Pretty words, Rasaad. But pretty words will not shield you from the repercussions of your depravity. |
| 78519 Depravity? Rasaad? Now you're really stretching. Explain yourselves. What are these supposed acts of depravity Rasaad engaged in? |
| 78520 Depravity? Sounds like my sort of thing. Paint me a picture, monks. I would know the details of what my friend has supposedly done. |
| 78521 You would know what he's accused of, <PRO_RACE>? Then I will tell you. |
| 78522 I fear this situation is getting out of control. |
| 78523 You only just noticed that? Someone needs to meditate a little moreâ€â€your focus leaves something to be desired. |
| 78524 Don't worry. It'll be substantially more manageable once this rabble's been slain. |
| 78525 You would sacrifice your life for this butcher? |
| 78526 You are a member of the order he served for decades, yet I know him better than you ever will. He is capable of many things, but cold-blooded murder is not among them. |
| 78527 A butcher, yes. Probably a baker, too. A candlestick maker, I'd have to think about. |
| 78528 I'd sacrifice your life for him, and I'd sleep perfectly well having done so. |
| 78529 I thought I knew him once too, <PRO_RACE>. I discovered I was wrong, to my horror and eternal regret. |
| 78530 Very well. Explain to me how you have come to accuse Rasaadâ€â€Rasaad, of all peopleâ€â€of such base crimes. |
| 78531 We were sent on an errand for Schaal, high priest of the Athkatla Sun Soul temple. We returned to find Schaal and all our brothers and sisters slaughtered. |
| 78532 Looks like the killers missed a few. |
| 78533 What? You say the Athkatla chapter of the order is dead? |
| 78534 And scrawled in blood on the wall, the name of their killer: Rasaad yn Bashir, who was once their brother! You should have made sure Schaal was dead before you fled, murderer. |
| 78535 You cannot believe Rasaad did this thing. |
| 78536 So you accuse him not only of multiple murder, but incompetence. Do any of you actually know this man? And if so, how can you possibly believe he is capable of what you've described? |
| 78537 I'm afraid when it comes to matters of mindless, bloody slaughter, Rasaad has much to learn. You will be his next lesson. |
| 78538 It is well known that Rasaad has embraced the Dark Moon heresy. |
| 78539 Many well-known things are incorrect. |
| 78540 It's one thing to embrace a new belief system (which he hasn't actually done, by the way). Mercilessly slaughtering your friends and students is another altogether. |
| 78541 If only that were true. |
| 78542 Perhaps they are right, Sixscar. Rasaad was the best of us once. |
| 78543 Those who are true to Selûne never resort to deception. |
| 78544 Selûne is no stranger to deception. Was she not fooled into believing she and Shar were one and the same? |
| 78545 Spoken like someone skilled in deceiving herself. |
| 78546 Not all followers of Selûne are as close-minded as you, Sixscar. |
| 78547 Nobody fooled her. She was youngâ€â€mistaken. |
| 78548 She saw things that were not thereâ€â€just as you do now. |
| 78549 If even goddesses can make mistakes, surely mortals can be forgiven for theirs? |
| 78550 So your masters would have you believe. But what if Selûne was right in the first place? |
| 78551 Once, Sahana. Before he turned his back on the Sun Soul. |
| 78552 He hasn't turned his back on the Sun Soul philosophy. |
| 78553 Perhaps he had a good reason to turn his back on you. You lot have been trying to kill him, after all. |
| 78554 It is you who have turned on him, Sixscar. And now you will pay the price for it. |
| 78555 You would try to turn these loyal Sun Soul members to the Twofold Heresy, <CHARNAME>? |
| 78556 For your sake, I would turn them from their current course by whatever means I'm able. |
| 78557 I would turn water into wine to save my own skin. |
| 78558 I merely want them to consider alternative viewpoints. |
| 78559 You'd have better luck at that than turning Selûne's Tears from her grace, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 78560 A rough grace indeed, considering Rasaad's treatment. |
| 78561 I gave it a shot. |
| 78562 I'll settle for turning you into worm food, Sixscar! |
| 78563 There will be no turning us, <PRO_RACE>. Justice will be served. |
| 78564 Your bloodlust will doubtless be served, Sixscar. Justice? I'm not seeing it. |
| 78565 You want them to damn themselves! |
| 78566 All right, forget the Twofold for the moment. Consider this: You know Rasaad well. Among your number, only his brother could match his skill and devotion to Selûne. Would he truly turn his back on you without good reason? |
| 78567 I beg you, leave now and consider the possibility that there's more to the Twofold Truth than some would have you believe. |
| 78568 To judge Rasaad for turning to the Twofold Truth is to judge your own goddess. Are you comfortable with that? |
| 78569 Take care, <CHARNAME>. Though they accuse me of heinous crimes, I still consider these people friends. I would not see them turned from their beliefs. |
| 78570 What about you, Rasaad? What do you believe? |
| 78571 I will hear no more of your lies. In Selûne's name, die! |
| 78572 Do not believe this heretic's lies. Kill them, in Selûne's name! |
| 78573 How do you come to that? |
| 78574 Have you taken leave of your senses, Treya? You cannot be swayed by this <PRO_RACE>'s calumnies! |
| 78575 I merely point out what is already well known. |
| 78576 You see, Treya? You see how she shrieks and howls? Is this the behavior of someone who knows the truth, or someone desperate to keep you from it? |
| 78577 I... must consider this matter. |
| 78578 I can ask nothing more. |
| 78579 You and the worms can discuss it in length! |
| 78580 Sixscar! You cannot mean to attack one of your own. |
| 78581 Treya's heresy marks them as an enemy of the order. |
| 78582 How easy it is for you to find enemies, Sixscar. Who will you turn on next? Him? Her? Your own reflection? |
| 78583 I sometimes think any indication of independent thought is sufficient to mark one an enemy of the order. |
| 78584 And now you turn on your own men. You are a jackal. Sixscar. |
| 78585 <CHARNAME>, please, be silent a moment. These people are my friends, in spite of everything that's gone between us. I would not see them torn apart for your amusement. |
| 78586 Please, friends, I beg youâ€â€go on your way. I have no quarrel with you. |
| 78587 You have much to ponder, I think. |
| 78588 We'll go now, Rasaad. May you find good fortune down whatever road you travel. |
| 78589 I cannot believe what I am seeing! We have come all this way and now you let this traitor simply walk away? No. No, I'll not have it! |
| 78590 Damn it, Sixscar, don't make this more difficult than it already is |
| 78591 To the Abyss with all of you! In Selûne's name, I strike! |
| 78592 Who are you to stand shoulder to shoulder with the butcher Rasaad and call me mad? |
| 78593 I never called you mad, Sixscar. But if the boot fits... |
| 78594 Hey, you're the one who turned on her friends the moment they questioned the righteousness of your actions. |
| 78595 You act like a madwoman. What else would I call you? |
| 78596 If Sixscar is mad, it is grief that's made her so. And it's a grief I know too well. |
| 78597 How dare you? How dare you stand there with the blood of our friends on your hands and tell us you know our grief? |
| 78598 It's over, Sixscar. |
| 78599 I am perfectly comfortable with killing a few of the heretics. Tears! Take them. |
| 78600 Enough! I'll not be insulted by one who stands with an oathbreaker and murderer. |
| 78601 Another lie. Even before this latest atrocity, he refused to appear at the Sun Soul temple. He even went so far as to fight those sent to collect him. |
| 78602 He fought them, yes. But he didn't kill them. |
| 78603 A necessary deception. |
| 78604 Fought them, yes, but he did not kill them. Which is more than can be said for you. |
| 78605 My mind is made clear by the Moonmaiden's truth! |
| 78606 The Moonmaiden's truth is that Selûne has not avenged Gamaz's deathâ€â€so Rasaad will. |
| 78607 I've got a feeling it was pretty clear even before Selûne got her hooks into you. |
| 78608 A zealot's words. But words will not justify your crimes against this man. |
| 78609 Selûne will judge us both in time. Rasaad's time is now! |
| 78610 It matters not. He has embraced the Dark Moon heresy. He must be put down as an example to those who would turn against the Sun Soul. |
| 78611 I tell you he has embraced no heresy. |
| 78612 Slaughtering anyone who disagrees with you is hardly a winning argument. |
| 78613 I'm afraid you're the one who must be put down, as an example to those who would raise their hand against me. |
| 78614 Close enough for my taste. |
| 78615 I have not come to argue with Rasaad. I have come to kill him. |
| 78616 When you put it like that, it does sound kind of suspect... |
| 78617 Then why did he flee from us? |
| 78618 He seeks to infiltrate the Dark Moon heretics. But he could not tell anyone in the Sun Soul that, for fear of discovery. |
| 78619 Did he flee from you? Were you there? |
| 78620 I really couldn't say. Personally, I would've killed you. |
| 78621 He would deceive his friends to gain the trust of his enemies? |
| 78622 You finally understand. |
| 78623 Deception is anathema to those who are true to the Sun Soul philosophy. |
| 78624 What you say is true, Sixscar... and I spend my every waking moment haunted by the knowledge that I have failed our mistress. |
| 78625 Why, Rasaad? Surely there are better ways than this to root out the heretics. What could possibly possess you to forsake your vows? |
| 78626 He seeks to avenge his brother. |
| 78627 Nothing, you idiot. That's what I've been trying to tell you. |
| 78628 Peace, <CHARNAME>. It's a fair question. The Twofold Heretics are a threat that must be dealt with. But that was not my soleâ€â€not even my primaryâ€â€concern when I embarked upon this path. |
| 78629 The heretics are led by a man named Collus Darathon. |
| 78630 I've heard of him. |
| 78631 I have reason to believe that Darathon is actually Alorgoth. |
| 78632 "Reason" may be pushing it. But it's what he believes. |
| 78633 I was not. |
| 78634 Perhaps you assume too much about the way things played out. |
| 78635 Well, I was. And the question isn't why did he run, but why did your friends attack him? |
| 78636 You weren't there when he was attacked by your fellows; you weren't there when he supposedly massacred your temple. It seems to me Selûne's Tears are operating on a hell of a lot of assumptions. |
| 78637 None of our order would attack Rasaad without good reason. |
| 78638 And Rasaad would not fight back without an equally valid reason. |
| 78639 Well, being attacked is a pretty damn good reason to flee, in my book. Am I wrong? |
| 78640 Yet here you stand, ready to kill him on the flimsiest of evidence. |
| 78641 Perhaps they are right, Sixscar. |
| 78642 They are lying, Treya. You can't trust a word that comes out of their mouth. |
| 78643 Rasaad was once the greatest of our number. Perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye. |
| 78644 Enough, all of you! Rasaad has betrayed the order, and for that he must pay. Strike now, for Selûne! |
| 78645 With his dying breath, Schaal wrote his killer's name upon the wall of our temple in his own blood. |
| 78646 You saw this happen? |
| 78647 I know what happened, and there is nothing your lying tongue can concoct that will convince me otherwise. |
| 78648 And you others? Are you all as eager to shed your brother's blood as your foaming at the mouth leader here? |
| 78649 Well, so long as you've got an open mind. |
| 78650 If I cannot talk you out of this foolishness, then I guess I'll have to kill you out of it. |
| 78651 Perhaps we should give the matter more thought... |
| 78652 Enough! Rasaad betrayed us, and for that he will pay the price. Strike now, for Selûne! |
| 78653 <CHARNAME>? What are you saying? |
| 78654 Nothing but that the Twofold Trust has more to offer you than the Sun Soul order ever hasâ€â€especially now that the Sun Soul offers nothing but swift and merciless execution. |
| 78655 Love is blind, and I've rarely met a man who saw less than you, Rasaad. The Dark Moon heresyâ€â€the Twofold Trustâ€â€that is your future now, but you refuse to accept the obvious. |
| 78656 The Dark Moon heretics offer you something the Sun Soul order never wouldâ€â€true power. You must take it. |
| 78657 But... I have lived my life in service to the Moonmaiden... |
| 78658 I'm sure she appreciates thatâ€â€more than her followers do, at any rate. But when you decided Collus Darathon's death took precedence over everything else in your life, things changed. |
| 78659 You deserve better than a life of service to a cold, uncaring goddess, Rasaad. And you will have it, when Collus Darathon is dead and you lead the Twofold Trust. |
| 78660 You are a better liar than you give yourself credit for, Rasaad. A shame the one you choose to deceive is yourself. |
| 78661 I... I could never turn my back on Selûne... |
| 78662 You already have, when you chose a path of lies and deception. |
| 78663 Alorgoth must pay for what he took from me. |
| 78664 I am with you, Rasaad. Which is more than can be said for those you once called your brothers and sisters. You were once the greatest monk of the Sun Soul orderâ€â€and look what it got you. You will be the greatest monk in the Twofold Trustâ€â€and once Collus Darathon, Alorgoth, whoever he is, is eliminated, you shall be in a position to lead them to great things. |
| 78665 You doubt my devotion? |
| 78666 You had a chance to strike a blow against the hereticsâ€â€instead you listened to their blasphemy. When you saw a chance to avenge your brother, you didn't hesitate to turn to deception and darkness in pursuit of your goals. Even if you destroy Alorgoth and the heretics, in your heart of hearts, you must know you have failed your goddess. |
| 78667 So you believe I should become that which I pretended to be? |
| 78668 I believe you should embrace that which you have become, Rasaad. You are a deceiver, but as you know, there are times deception can serve a higher purpose. |
| 78669 There's a fine line between pretending to be something and actually being it, Rasaad. And I'm pretty sure you vaulted several feet over it when you decided to deceive your brothers. |
| 78670 You were the greatest of the Sun Soul order, Rasaad. The only deception you're capable of is self-deception. |
| 78671 You are right, <CHARNAME>. I tried to tell myself otherwise, but I turned my back on Selûne when I chose to pursue the heretics' leader. I have doomed myself. |
| 78672 Far from it, Rasaad. Deception is just a tool, one that can be used for good purpose as well as ill. |
| 78673 Doom may be slightly overstating things, Rasaad. There's a bright future ahead of you. Not the immediate future, unfortunatelyâ€â€that's looking to be a dark and bloody thing. |
| 78674 We'll see, Rasaad. It may be that you have just taken the first step down a new and rewarding path. |
| 78675 The traitor admits his heresy! Together, Tears! Strike him down! |
| 78676 Your words trouble me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 78677 My words should trouble you less than your own actions, Rasaad. In your deeds, you are revealed. But take heartâ€â€your cause is a righteous one. |
| 78678 I hope they trouble you less than the Tears' blades. Words are more easily ignored. |
| 78679 While your inaction troubles me. These dogs accuse you of treachery and murder. They must be brought to heel. |
| 78680 Alorgoth must pay for Gamaz's death. |
| 78681 You would have me usurp Alorgoth and take control of the heretics? |
| 78682 Who better? |
| 78683 There is much good the heretics could doâ€â€with a good man to lead them. |
| 78684 Think of the power you would wield as the master of the Twofold Trust, Rasaad. How can you resist it? |
| 78685 But... Selûne... |
| 78686 Selûne will forgive you your sins, Rasaad. You cannot afford to think of her, not while Alorgoth yet lives. |
| 78687 What of her? She's a goddess. You think she cares one whit what you or any of these lackwits do in her name? |
| 78688 Forget the Moonmaiden, Rasaad. You must focus your energies on the Twofold Trust. |
| 78689 Alorgoth? What does the high priest of the Dark Moon order have to do with any of this? |
| 78690 If Rasaad is right, he's everything to do with it. |
| 78691 You have no idea how glad I am you asked that question. |
| 78692 It's a pity you won't live long enough to find out. |
| 78693 What does the heresy have to do with Gamaz? 'Twas Alorgoth that took Rasaad's brother. |
| 78694 I believe Alorgoth and Collus Darathon are the same man. |
| 78695 Truly? But the heretics are sworn to destroy Dark Moon and Sun Soul alike. |
| 78696 I said the same, but believe me: Rasaad is steadfast in his belief that Alorgoth and Darathon are one and the same. |
| 78697 Technically, I think it's the other way around. But I'm not going to start splitting hairsâ€â€especially when doing so will likely lead to splitting skulls. |
| 78698 You misunderstand their goals. They don't want to see you destroyedâ€â€they want you to join them. |
| 78699 They would have us turn our back on Selûne, just as Rasaad has done. |
| 78700 Rasaad has not turned his back on Selûne. He seeks to infiltrate the ranks of the heretics. |
| 78701 For pity's sake, Sixscar, what will it take to make you let that go? |
| 78702 Oh, forget this. I'm done trying to talk with you, you wretched Selûnatic. Walk away now or you'll be dragged away later. |
| 78703 His death. |
| 78704 Ah. I'm sorry I asked. |
| 78705 Enough! Rasaad is a heretic and a traitor, and every breath he takes is an affront to Selûne! Strike him and his friends down, now! |
| 78706 No true believer of the Sun Soul philosophy would resort to deception to achieve their ends. |
| 78707 Think what you will of me, Sixscar, and know I hardly think better of myself. I will do what I must to avenge Gamaz. |
| 78708 I'll hear no more of your rationalizations, traitor. You have betrayed your vows, and for that, you will pay. Tears, strike him down! |
| 78709 It is the truth, Sixscar. He had Karell and the others at his mercy and stayed his hand. |
| 78710 There are few things I'll not do to avenge my brotherâ€â€but killing another member of the Sun Soul order? Ghell Rando, Treyaâ€â€you cannot believe I did this thing. |
| 78711 You know this man. Look into your heartsâ€â€is he truly capable of the slaughter you describe? |
| 78712 Come on, guys. He's not as bad as that. He's not even close, really. |
| 78713 Who cares what these thuggish shrews believe? |
| 78714 Take pity on them, <CHARNAME>. They've lost people they care about. It's a grief I know too well. |
| 78715 We've made a mistake, Sixscar. |
| 78716 Rasaad could not have been behind the temple massacre. |
| 78717 And that is why you turned against your own and joined the heretics. To hunt down your brother's killer. |
| 78718 A poor excuse for breaking your vows. |
| 78719 But an understandable one, surely? And if he's successful, the death of Collus Darathon will spell the end of the Twofold Heretics, which is all to the Sun Soul's good. |
| 78720 Is there any excuse you'd find sufficiently persuasive to justify the breaking of vows, Sixscar? |
| 78721 None. |
| 78722 Good! I'd hate to think I'd misjudged you. |
| 78723 And what are we to make of the temple massacre? |
| 78724 I'd think that's obvious. Someone wished you to believe Rasaad had truly turned against the order. |
| 78725 Something more than what you've made of it so far, I'd hope. Clearly, you've been manipulated into attacking an ally. |
| 78726 Make of it what you will. It's no concern of ours. |
| 78727 Take pity on them, <CHARNAME>. The pain of their loss is fresh. It's a grief I know too well. |
| 78728 He has turned against the order, <CHARNAME>. Regardless of the massacre, he no longer walks in Selûne's light. You were the finest of us all, Rasaad. How did you fall so far? |
| 78729 He's not fallen so far as you think, Sixscar. You may find his actions reprehensible, but you cannot know what's in his heart. |
| 78730 He arrived here the same way we all do, Sixscar: One step at a time. |
| 78731 Mind your tongue, or you'll see how far you can fallâ€â€and how fast. |
| 78732 Please, <CHARNAME>. This is not the time for threats or recrimination. |
| 78733 Perhaps there is hope for you yet, Rasaad. Selûne forgives all. Return to Athkatla with us; help us rebuild our sect. |
| 78734 I would give anything to be able to do that, Sahana. But I cannot, not while Alorgoth yet lives. |
| 78735 Here, Rasaad. Take this. It will remind you of Selûne's favor. |
| 78736 A favor you forsook. |
| 78737 That's Selûne's judgment to make, not yours. |
| 78738 You really can't let this go, can you, Sixscar? |
| 78739 You had to twist the knife just one more time, didn't you, Sixscar? |
| 78740 Let it go, <CHARNAME>. She is a victim to her griefâ€â€a position I know all too well. |
| 78741 Be silent a moment, <CHARNAME>. I thank you for the item, Sahana. I will hold it close to my heart. Now it is time we went our separate ways. |
| 78742 Farewell, Rasaad. |
| 78743 May Selûne smile upon you in your endeavors. |
| 78744 I hope you'll find what you're looking for, Rasaad. Farewell. |
| 78745 The Moonmaiden watches you, Bashir. Take care not to disappoint her further. |
| 78746 Mistakes? Of course. But if you're implying Rasaad's crimes were somehow an innocent mistake, you seriously underestimate their number and gravity. |
| 78747 Does anyone here truly believe Rasaad yn Bashir has it in him to commit mass murder? Of anyone at all, never mind those he once called brothers? |
| 78748 My only implication is that you don't seem to have considered the possibility you're wrong about Rasaad. |
| 78749 Regardless of what you think, Rasaad has committed no crime against you, Sixscar. Leave now and I'll do you the same courtesy. |
| 78750 I know the pain of your loss, Sixscar... I feel it myself. I beg you, leave now. I'd not see it compounded. |
| 78751 The Tears of Selûne will have their vengeance, Rasaad. |
| 78752 And none will be more pleased than Rasaad when you achieve it. But you cannot believe Rasaad is guilty of these crimes. Mass murder? Have you MET this man...? |
| 78753 All right, sure, but wouldn't it be better if the vengeance were on the right person? |
| 78754 The only thing the Tears of Selûne are getting at this point is a swift, merciless death. |
| 78755 You claim Rasaad is innocent? |
| 78756 I can imagine no scenario in which he could be guilty of the crimes you accuse him of. |
| 78757 I know it. |
| 78758 As if you gave a fig for what I believe. |
| 78759 If you would repent of your crimes, Rasaad, now is the time. |
| 78760 His victim wrote his killer's name on the temple wall in his own blood. I'll take that over what you "know," <PRO_RACE>. |
| 78761 You are perceptive, <PRO_RACE>. I'll give you that. |
| 78762 Their true colors stand revealed. Slay them! |
| 78763 Am I doing the right thing, <CHARNAME>? With every step I take away from the Sun Soul, more of my former relations are poisoned. How can petty vengeance justify the toll exacted on those I know and love? |
| 78764 You must be driven by more than anger and revenge, Rasaad. Everything you have done may yet be in service to a higher purpose. |
| 78765 You're not the one spilling the blood, Rasaad. Self-doubt is self-indulgenceâ€â€focus on your enemies. |
| 78766 The death of Alorgoth will justify many things. |
| 78767 What purpose is that? |
| 78768 To destroy the Dark Moon heresy and restore Selûne to her proper place. |
| 78769 When Darathon is killed, you must take your place at the head of the Twofold Trust. |
| 78770 If slaughtering Alorgoth and his Twofold Heretics isn't purpose enough for you, then I really don't know what is. |
| 78771 Dare I even hope for such a thing at this point? |
| 78772 It's possible the Sun Soul order will never forgive you your moral lapses. But the Moonmaiden knows your heart. And the gods can be very forgiving to those who destroy their enemies. |
| 78773 I would. Hope is a cheap and convenient alternative to certainty. |
| 78774 Hope for it? Stop cringing and stand tall, Rasaad. You're a man, not a mouse. You don't hope for anything: You make it happen. Now get out of my sight. Your moaning sickens me. |
| 78775 I pray you're right, <CHARNAME>. |
| 78776 Selûne hears those prayers, Rasaad. Trust me. |
| 78777 No matter how dire the circumstances, you always make me smile, <CHARNAME>. |
| 78778 That's what I'm here for. |
| 78779 You cut to the heart of the matter. Would that I had your clarity. |
| 78780 You're not on this journey alone. I'm here beside you. If you need my clarity, you need only ask for it. |
| 78781 I fear you're too intelligent to ever enjoy the sundry delights of moral clarity, Rasaad. Perhaps a few more blows to the head will help you with that. |
| 78782 Oh please, Rasaad. Spare me your self-involved whimpering. Where there are no barriers, you build your own, just so you've something to whine about. Go now, before your feeble mewling forces me to teach you a lesson in fortitude. |
| 78783 I miss my friend and students and mourn the passing of those who are dead, but the distance between me and my former life grows larger with each passing second. Once the order gave me stability and purpose, but when I feel lost now, it is you I turn to. You'll never know how grateful I am to have you stand beside me. |
| 78784 You would have me turn against Selûne? |
| 78785 You turned against the order when you opted to use deception to achieve your ends. But the order is not Selûneâ€â€I believe the Twofold Truth offers you a way to enjoy her grace once again, outside the Sun Soul order's pointlessly stifling restrictions. |
| 78786 You may not have noticed this, but the Sun Soul order's spent the last month doing everything in its power to kill you. |
| 78787 The Twofold Truth encompasses the Selûnite teachings, and the Dark Moon's as well. It offers another way to commune with the Moonmaidenâ€â€one more accommodating to the needs of the real world. |
| 78788 Selûne's guidance is sound. |
| 78789 I will say nothing against Selûneâ€â€just those who claim to speak for her. Like all living creatures, she is fluid and changing. Why then are her servants so inflexible? It will not bend, so it breaks, and its former adherents flock to the Twofold Truth. |
| 78790 Precisely. Selûne offers guidanceâ€â€not commandments. By demanding blind obedience to unreasonable restrictions, the Sun Soul order drives a wedge between the goddess and those who would know her grace. With the right man in control of the things, the Twofold Truth could bridge that gap. |
| 78791 I know you speak heresy, yet... there's some truth in your words I cannot deny. |
| 78792 Don't make your decision nowâ€â€we've still got Alorgoth to kill. All I ask is that you consider the possibilities. The Twofold Trust can be a tool for good, in the hands of the right man. |
| 78793 You have given me much to consider, <CHARNAME>. I will think on it. |
| 78794 The Dark Moon heresy is an atrocity that must be destroyed! |
| 78795 That so many would turn from the Dark Moon and Sun Soul orders is proof the Twofold Trust offers something those sad and dying orders do not. The heretics' leader is a monster and must be destroyedâ€â€but the heretics themselves are just like you, men and women seeking the truth. The right man could help them find that truth. |
| 78796 That is the price I pay for debasing myself with deception. |
| 78797 And a ridiculous price it is. |
| 78798 You criticize principles that have guided the order for hundreds of years. |
| 78799 And I've little doubt those principles were effective and useful in those other centuries. But this is a new day. That so many would turn to the Twofold Trust is proof it offers something the Selûnites and Sharrans do not. The heretics' leader is a monster and must be destroyedâ€â€but the heretics themselves are just like you, men and women seeking the truth. The right man could help them find that truth. |
| 78800 A new day dawns, Rasaad, and it is yours for the taking. Collus Darathon's death will not change the fact that dozens, perhaps hundreds, of your fellow Selûnites have turned from their sect. There's a problem there. You have it in you to offer a workable solution. |
| 78801 They stink with the mold of ages past. Renounce the order as your sect has renounced you, and be reborn a free man. |
| 78802 What you call free I see as a life burdened by the chains of ignorance. |
| 78803 I hope when this is over, you will see things as they truly are. |
| 78804 I'd rather carry metaphorical chains than be cut by real swords, Rasaad. The Sun Soul order is done with you. I hope you can find the strength to be done with it before it's too late. |
| 78805 You already carry the weight of those chains, Rasaad. A shame you're unwilling to see them. |
| 78806 I begged you, Sixscar. I begged you not to let it come to this. |
| 78807 Forgive her, Rasaad. Since the templeâ€â€grief has consumed us, driven us to the brink of madness. |
| 78808 At least the rest of you didn't just keep going. |
| 78809 There is nothing to forgive, Sahana. I know too well what drove her to this. The same grief, the same... madness?... has put me on my current path. |
| 78810 It is not too late to turn back to Selûne's light, Rasaad. |
| 78811 She's right, Rasaad. Turn away from this path of darkness. |
| 78812 It's not too late to accept the Twofold Truth, either. |
| 78813 Not too late. Far too soon. |
| 78814 You know I cannot, <CHARNAME>. Not until my brother is avenged. |
| 78815 Farewell, Rasaad. |
| 78816 May Selûne smile upon you in your endeavors. |
| 78817 I hope you find what you're looking for, Rasaad. Farewell. |
| 78818 This one tempts you down a dark and dangerous path, Rasaad. |
| 78819 I value their advice, for they see things in ways I cannot. |
| 78820 Perhaps because you should not. |
| 78821 Ideally, I would never have needed their unique perspective. But ideally, my brother would still be alive. |
| 78822 Please, <CHARNAME>. This is not the time. |
| 78823 Damn it all, Rasaad! When will this madness end? |
| 78824 Your friend asks a good question, Rasaad. When will you realize the folly of the path you're on and return to Selûne's light? |
| 78825 It will end when Rasaad has taken control of the Twofold Trust. |
| 78826 It ends with Alorgoth's death. |
| 78827 I recognize my folly but am helpless to avoid it. My brother must be avenged by whatever means necessary. |
| 78828 The cost is too great, Rasaad. If you don't care about your own soul, consider what your actions are doing to us. |
| 78829 My heart breaks to think of your losses, Treya. But I cannot turn back now. |
| 78830 Then go. Go and never return. |
| 78831 Her grief overwhelms her, Rasaad. She'll regret her words once she calms down. |
| 78832 I fear regret is something none of us will hunger for in the coming days. |
| 78833 Farewell, Rasaad. Wherever your current path leads, let Selûne's light guide you. You may have turned your back on the Sun Soul order, but the goddess will never turn on you. |
| 78834 You don't just turn your back on the Sun Soul, you would lead its enemies against us? |
| 78835 I would never take up arms against the Sun Soul order. |
| 78836 In taking control of the Trust, you will lead them back to Selûne's light. |
| 78837 Would that they could say the same about you. |
| 78838 Unless they raised their arms against you first, of course. |
| 78839 You could not recognize her light, even if you saw it. |
| 78840 What does Alorgoth have to do with the Twofold Heretics? |
| 78841 Alorgoth leads the heretics, or so Rasaad believes? |
| 78842 It's a long story. Far too long to get into here. |
| 78843 Nothing but this: They will both be destroyed at Rasaad's hand. |
| 78844 Rasaad? Is this true? |
| 78845 It is, Ghell. |
| 78846 I fear you have been broken by your brother's loss. The heretics and the Sharrans are at each other's throats. Alorgoth has ordered the Twofold's extermination. If he has anything to do with the Trust, it will be to destroy it, nothing else. |
| 78847 The heretics' temple. How best do we approach this, <CHARNAME>? |
| 78848 There's only one fitting way to approach these hereticsâ€â€directly. |
| 78849 Approach it? Look at that thing. We'd best run screaming in the opposite direction. |
| 78850 To know the truth of the Dark Moon heresy, it would be best if they believed we were followers of it. |
| 78851 Hold. Is this a crippled dove I see? |
| 78852 I don't know about crippled, but someone sure did a number on her. |
| 78853 That woman is clearly in distress. We must help her. |
| 78854 She could obviously use a hand. |
| 78855 Great, we'll help her. Who's going to help us? |
| 78856 Let her go, Rasaad. We've other matters to attend to. |
| 78857 But |
| 78858 Your brother isn't going to avenge himself. Collus Darathon awaits us in the temple. |
| 78859 Very well. |
| 78860 Selûne will guide our |
| 78861 Yeah, right, whatever. You there! I am <CHARNAME>. This is Rasaad. We were just on our way to the temple, and we couldn't help but notice someone had beat the living dung out of you. What happened to you? |
| 78862 Ho there! I am Rasaad, and this is my friend <CHARNAME>. Can we be of assistance? |
| 78863 I doubt that very much. |
| 78864 What's your name? What happened to you? |
| 78865 You heard her. Let's be on our way. |
| 78866 I am Herath. What happened to me? I failed to prove my worth to the Twofold Goddess, that's what happened to me. |
| 78867 How were you asked to prove your worth to her? Was the beating part of your trials or a consequence of failing it? |
| 78868 The Twofold Goddess beat you up? |
| 78869 It would seem Darathon has rigorous guidelines for whom he'll take into his trusts. |
| 78870 Trusts? |
| 78871 Yes. There's those he takes into his trust, and those he takes into the Twofold Trustâ€â€you know what, just forget it. |
| 78872 Gladly. What a terrible joke. |
| 78873 I said forget it. |
| 78874 Neither is acceptable. |
| 78875 I lacked the resolve necessary to serve as a member of the Trust. |
| 78876 And how did they test that resolve? |
| 78877 So they beat you up. |
| 78878 And yet they let you live. I'm not sure I approve. |
| 78879 I held my tongue for three beatings in the Room of Pain. But the fourth broke me. |
| 78880 The Room of Pain is part of the temple? |
| 78881 The Room of what now? "The Room of Pain"? Could you expand on that a bit, please? |
| 78882 You were broken, but not killed? |
| 78883 What manner of barbarism is Alorâ€â€Collus Darathon presiding over here? |
| 78884 Barbarism? Far from it. The Twofold trials clear the mind and allow one to focus oneself purely on the goddess's truth. The failure was mine and mine alone. |
| 78885 Unable to endure any more, I fled the temple, barely escaping with my life. I must get away from here before they find me. |
| 78886 I take it they deal harshly with failure. |
| 78887 I guess things could be worse. |
| 78888 The Twofold Trust is merciful indeed. |
| 78889 This is an atrocity. The heretics must be destroyed. |
| 78890 Agreed. Once, I thought the Twofold Trust might offer a valid path to enlightenment. No more. |
| 78891 The heretics? No. Just their leader. |
| 78892 The heretics must be led. Shown the error of their ways by a proper leader. |
| 78893 You know not what you say. Collus Darathon is a great man. |
| 78894 You've met him? |
| 78895 He had you beaten nigh unto death and you call him a great man? |
| 78896 The Twofold Trust has a leader. |
| 78897 Its leader is a vile dog who must be put down so the rest of his pack can prosper. |
| 78898 Yeah, well, we can fix that. |
| 78899 Not for long. |
| 78900 Much worse. |
| 78901 I don't want to talk about it. I've a long journey ahead of me. Let me be on my way. |
| 78902 We sought only to help you, madam. Farewell. |
| 78903 Can I come with you? I've got a feeling your company would be preferable to what awaits us at the temple. |
| 78904 As you wish. |
| 78905 I know you're trying to lighten the mood, <CHARNAME>, but this really is not the time. |
| 78906 You'd rather explore the Room of Pain than spend time with this charming young lady? I just don't know about you, Rasaad. |
| 78907 What are you saying� |
| 78908 Nothing with which you should concern yourself. Fare you well, Herath. |
| 78909 Your mistreatment will soon be avenged. |
| 78910 Collus Darathon is a rabid dog. We'll not allow him to spread his sickness any further. |
| 78911 No, you mustn't take up arms against the Trust. |
| 78912 Why not? |
| 78913 Not the Trust. Just its leader. |
| 78914 Darathon's fate is sealed. |
| 78915 And so they should. I am not worthy of the Twofold's gift. |
| 78916 Sounds like a good life to me. |
| 78917 The Twofold Truth was a revelation to me. I realized that the past was past, that I might finally know the light as I do the darkness. |
| 78918 To know the light is a worthy goal. |
| 78919 Yet here you are, on the edge of the final darkness. |
| 78920 You failed the test. You walk in shadow still. |
| 78921 Those who would join the Trust must know light and darkness both. |
| 78922 I walk with hope. That is something the Dark Moon order never gave me. |
| 78923 So even now, you would continue to follow the Twofold Truth? |
| 78924 I will take time to heal, to commune with the Twofold Goddess, to find the resolve I lacked today. |
| 78925 I wish you luck in your efforts. |
| 78926 You're utterly, utterly mad. |
| 78927 You believe yourself worthy, even now? Allow me to dispel any notions of adequacy you cling to. |
| 78928 Mad? No, at least I see things clearly. Now let me be on my way. I've a long journey ahead of me. |
| 78929 Very long indeed. |
| 78930 Don't let us stop you. Hell, I'm not sure anything could stop you, bloody lunatic that you are. |
| 78931 Begone. I'll waste no more time with the likes of you. |
| 78932 No, no, no! I'll not stand idly by while you plot the death of a great man! |
| 78933 You'll not take me without a fight, vulture! |
| 78934 Halt! Who goes there? |
| 78935 Those who seek the truth in darkness and the light. |
| 78936 The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. |
| 78937 Do you think guards ever get bored hollering "Halt! Who goes there?" I would. |
| 78938 My name is unimportant. What matters is my purpose. |
| 78939 How did you find this place? |
| 78940 The Twofold Truth was revealed to us by a monk named Hammerhelm, formerly of the Sun Soul order. |
| 78941 Everyone knows where to find the secret temple of the Twofold Trust. It's the buzz of Hillock Court. |
| 78942 What does it matter? I'm here now. |
| 78943 Answer my question. |
| 78944 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 78945 "Halt! Who goes there?" "Answer my question." It's like every guard who ever lived was forced to read from the same tired script. |
| 78946 I'll answer your question with one of my own: How many dead guards does it take for me to walk across this bridge? The answer's entirely up to you. |
| 78947 Aye, and you'll go now too, if you don't answer my question. |
| 78948 A monk named Hammerhelm, once a member of the Sun Soul order, told us we should come here to learn more of the Twofold Truth. |
| 78949 I could skin a cat with a spoon, but why would I want to? Let's do things the easy way: I want to cross the bridge. What will it take to make that happen? |
| 78950 Then... I guess I'll just be going. |
| 78951 Stand aside, dolt. I've business in the temple. |
| 78952 Can't do it, <PRO_RACE>. Letting you cross is more than my life's worth. |
| 78953 Oh well. You can't say I didn't try. |
| 78954 I couldn't agree more. |
| 78955 It is? |
| 78956 You didn't know? The Twofold Trust's popularity flies higher thanâ€â€whatever bird flies particularly high. Ornithology is for peasants. I'm shocked you haven't been inundated with applicants. |
| 78957 Nah, not really. But I had you going, didn't I? |
| 78958 You are too stupid to live. Allow me to rectify that. |
| 78959 Hah! A worthy jest, <PRO_RACE>. But seriously, now. |
| 78960 This is no place for jests, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 78961 There have been a few... |
| 78962 Steel yourself, my good man. A wave of would-be Trustees the likes of which you've never seen is about to crash down upon you. Now, if you'd be so good as to let me cross the bridge? |
| 78963 Don't know the man. |
| 78964 I hardly see how that's our problem. |
| 78965 And I don't know you. That's the problem with people, don't you think? There are so damn many of them. |
| 78966 What you don't know could fill Resurrection Gorge. Stand aside. |
| 78967 Getting across this bridge is your problem. And you'll not do so without my leave. |
| 78968 Forgive me, gentle guardsman. What can I do to attain permission to cross your bridge? |
| 78969 Yeah, all right, you've made your point. What do I have to do to get across? |
| 78970 Well. If that's the way you're going to be about it, I guess I'll just have to leave. But know this: You've just made a powerful enemy. I'd watch my back if I were you. |
| 78971 I guess you'd best be leaving then. |
| 78972 That's more like it. |
| 78973 Watch your tone, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 78974 I know not from whence you came, but your journey ends here, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 78975 You don't give the orders here, <PRO_RACE>. Now answer my question. |
| 78976 What's your purpose here? |
| 78977 We would join the Twofold Trust. |
| 78978 I heard Collus Darathon was on the lookout for prospective bridge guards. Do you know anything about that? |
| 78979 All you need know is that it begins with your demise. |
| 78980 What? Who told you that? |
| 78981 Forgive me, friend. I was just making a joke. |
| 78982 You didn't know? There are signs posted all over the villages from here to Athkatla. "Wanted: Bridge guards. Apply in person to secret Twofold Temple. Bring resume incl. recommendations." |
| 78983 You did, when you suddenly died in the next thirty seconds. |
| 78984 On your guard, cur! |
| 78985 Huh. I don't get it. |
| 78986 That doesn't make any sense... |
| 78987 No, it really doesn't. You're doing such a fantastic job, after all; why would they need anyone else? |
| 78988 I know it's weird, but a job's a job. |
| 78989 How is it someone whose skull has never known the moist, warm touch of a brain can remember to breathe? |
| 78990 Naw, naw, you're yanking my leg. |
| 78991 You got me! But admit it, I had you going for a second there, didn't I? |
| 78992 Well, thank you for that. |
| 78993 Not at all. I firmly believe in giving credit where it's due. Now, if you'd be so good to let me pass? |
| 78994 Well, I mean, I'm only good for eight, maybe ten hours at a stretch, but Hornung Wait a second. This doesn't add up. |
| 78995 Hah! You got me good, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 78996 It's good to laugh, isn't it? Now if you'll excuse me, I have business in the temple. |
| 78997 You think you're funny, <PRO_RACE>? Keep laughingâ€â€maybe you'll find out how funny you are with a knee in your gut. |
| 78998 Humor really is a cultural thing, isn't it? Moving on: I am here to join the Twofold Trust. I'd be grateful if you'd let me pass. |
| 78999 Speaking as someone whose seen a fair share of swords in guts, I can tell you with some certainty that the comedy potential in that premise is limited, at best. |
| 79000 I gather that was a threat. I guarantee it was a mistake. Your final one, in fact. |
| 79001 Huh? |
| 79002 I seek to join the Twofold Trust. Please stand aside so I can be about my business. |
| 79003 Look, let's cut through the brush here. I want to cross the bridge. What's it going to take to make that happen? |
| 79004 What's the best way to put this...? Ah, I've got it: Get out of my way or die, worm. |
| 79005 Aye, all right. Go ahead. |
| 79006 I think 200 gold should get you across the bridge safe and sound. |
| 79007 I'm glad we could come to an agreement. |
| 79008 During the excruciating agony you're about to endure, I want you to keep this uppermost in your mind: Your life is worth less than 200 gold pieces. |
| 79009 What're you getting at? |
| 79010 You're not very smart, are you? Quite the opposite, in fact. You're stupid. A dunderheaded moron. An idiot. A cretin. An oaf of such staggering thick-headedness that even other oafs look at you and say, "Wow, what a dimwitted simpleton he is." You're an imbecile, a dolt, a lackwit so lacking in wits that I can feel my mind growing more sluggish and dull each passing second I talk with you. You're senseless, obtuse, laughably thick: a clodpate. In short, what I'm saying, you lethargic dullard, is that you're a brainless lout too stupid to live. Therefore, and I say this with absolutely no regret whatsoever, I am going to kill you. |
| 79011 You know I'll never get the last minute of my life back. For that, you must pay the ultimate price. |
| 79012 This conversation is over. Which is something it shares in common with your life. |
| 79013 Huh? |
| 79014 Just draw your sword and die, already. |
| 79015 You think I'm stupid, <PRO_RACE>? I'll show you stupid! |
| 79016 Sorry, <PRO_RACE>. Letting you cross is more than my life's worth. |
| 79017 Oh well. You can't say I didn't try. |
| 79018 This bush has been beaten to death and back again, so let's get down to business. I want to cross the bridge. What's it going to take to make that happen? |
| 79019 I couldn't agree more. |
| 79020 You may pass. |
| 79021 I have already allowed you to cross, so cross! |
| 79022 Halt! What's your business here? |
| 79023 I seek truth in both shadows and the light. |
| 79024 I've come to join the Twofold Trust. |
| 79025 The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. |
| 79026 I have an appointment with Collus Darathon. |
| 79027 Many do. |
| 79028 Is this not the Temple of the Twofold Goddess? |
| 79029 I would become a part of the Twofold Trust. |
| 79030 And many fail. But I will not. |
| 79031 Boastful words will serve you ill in this place, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79032 It is. |
| 79033 May I enter? |
| 79034 Not exactly a talkative sort, are you? |
| 79035 Then stand aside. |
| 79036 I can be, when I've something to say. |
| 79037 I wish to enter the temple. Have you anything to say about that? |
| 79038 I'd be ever so appreciative if you were to say something like, "Welcome, go on in!" |
| 79039 What would you say were I to tell you to stand aside? |
| 79040 This is no place for jesters. Begone. |
| 79041 In all seriousness, then: I have come to join the Twofold Trust. |
| 79042 This is no joke. I want into the temple. |
| 79043 All right. |
| 79044 Now there's a joke worthy of a laugh. |
| 79045 No. |
| 79046 What gives you the right to stand between me and the Twofold Goddess? |
| 79047 Not even if I said pretty please? |
| 79048 Would you die to bar my way? |
| 79049 Collus Darathon bid me hold this door closed for all but those who know the darkness and the light. |
| 79050 I know them well. |
| 79051 So Collus Darathon is here? |
| 79052 If you don't stand aside, you're going to get to know the darkness intimately. |
| 79053 Well, I can't really argue with that. |
| 79054 You're wasting my time, <PRO_RACE>. Begone. |
| 79055 All right. |
| 79056 I'd be more than happy to leave you aloneâ€â€once you let me pass. |
| 79057 Come now. There must be some compromise we can find that will leave us both satisfied. Perhaps we could come to some sort of financial arrangement? |
| 79058 Tch. And you've so little time left... |
| 79059 Leave this place, <PRO_RACE>. I'll not tell you again. |
| 79060 Would that I could. But I'll not leave this place as anything but a sworn <PRO_BROTHERSISTER> of the Twofold Trust. |
| 79061 Nor will you need to. |
| 79062 Tell it to the spirits of the dead. You're about to join them. |
| 79063 If need be. |
| 79064 I wish to join the Twofold Trust. Does the goddess have so many followers that she can reject anyone you're not personally familiar with out of hand? |
| 79065 I admire your stoicism. I wish to join the Twofold Trust. |
| 79066 Well, I've no wish for that to happen. Perhaps we could come to some sort of financial arrangement? |
| 79067 All right then. I guess I'll just be going. |
| 79068 Then prepare to meet whatever goddess you serve face to face, fool. |
| 79069 The temple is attacked! |
| 79070 Die, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 79071 I should kill you for even suggesting that, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79072 Stay your hand, worthy one. I'll leave. |
| 79073 Let's not do something I'd regret here. I'll leave you to your labors. Farewell. |
| 79074 I'd like to see you try. |
| 79075 Selûne or Shar? Which one did you serve? |
| 79076 I would serve both now. |
| 79077 Selûne. |
| 79078 Shar. |
| 79079 I serve no one but myself. |
| 79080 Return to the Moonmaiden's temple, <PRO_RACE>. Enjoy your false goddess's grace while you may. |
| 79081 I will serve a false goddess no longer. Let me in the temple. |
| 79082 Yeah, all right. |
| 79083 Are you sure there isn't some sort of compromise we could find here? Perhaps a mutually satisfactory financial arrangement? |
| 79084 Enjoy breathing while you may, dead man. |
| 79085 Go back to your false goddess, <PRO_RACE>. Enjoy her cold embrace while you're still able, but know the Twofold's day is dawning. |
| 79086 No longer will I serve the whims of a false goddess. Stand aside. |
| 79087 I'll look forward to that. And a pleasant day to you, sir. |
| 79088 Is there nothing that can sway you? Perhaps we might come to some sort of financial agreement? |
| 79089 Before it dawns, you'll know the cold embrace of death! |
| 79090 If you are truly here to join the Trust, tell me what you know of light and shadow. |
| 79091 What would you know of it? |
| 79092 The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. |
| 79093 I know there is no light where you are going. |
| 79094 Selûne and Sharâ€â€or as we now know her, the Twofold Goddessâ€â€were created from the primordial essence of the universe. Selâ€â€the Twofold Goddess created the heavens and the worlds, blessing them with light and shadow, and all was right. Then, somehow, people came to embrace a falsehoodâ€â€that the twin aspects of the goddess were in fact two separate goddesses... |
| 79095 Selûnite and Sharran leaders betrayed their followers to gain more power for themselves. |
| 79096 As you say. Thankfully, Collus Darathon discovered the truth and spread the word to all the followers of the splintered goddess. Now, at last, we who worshipped Selûneâ€â€or Sharâ€â€have an opportunity to serve the true goddess, the Twofold. |
| 79097 You lack the most basic knowledge required to join the Trust. Begone. |
| 79098 Does the goddess have so many followers that she can reject any who would do her work out of hand? |
| 79099 My ignorance shames me. I bid you good day, sir. |
| 79100 I may lack the required knowledge, but at least I'm still breathing. Which is more than you'll be able to say come tomorrow. |
| 79101 You make a valid point, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79102 Enter. |
| 79103 Selûne's tears. What madness is this? |
| 79104 What is this I see before me? Are you real, or am I gripped by madness? |
| 79105 I'm real enough. Save your strength; I'll have you freed in a moment. |
| 79106 Quite possibly a bit of both. |
| 79107 This is a place of madness. But I'm real enough. |
| 79108 What are you doing? |
| 79109 I'm freeing you. |
| 79110 I haven't decided yet. |
| 79111 Putting you out of your misery. |
| 79112 No! You mustn't! |
| 79113 What? |
| 79114 Perhaps you are gripped by madness after all... |
| 79115 No one tells <CHARNAME> what <PRO_HESHE> must or mustn't do. |
| 79116 This is the will of Collus. We endure that we may know the harm that light may bring. |
| 79117 There are better ways. |
| 79118 You need to be left out in the blazing sun for whichever goddess knows however long to know that? |
| 79119 Well... I guess I'll leave you to it, then. |
| 79120 We do this of our own free will. |
| 79121 But why? |
| 79122 I'm not sure you completely grasp the free will concept... |
| 79123 'Tis the will of Collus. We endure that we may know the harm that too much time in the light may bring. |
| 79124 There are better ways. |
| 79125 You need to be left out in the blazing sun for whichever goddess knows however long to know that? |
| 79126 Well... I guess I'll leave you to it, then. |
| 79127 This sort of torture has no place in anything associated with the Sun Soul. I beg you, stop this madness! |
| 79128 The Sun Soul is a house built on lies. It is only through Collus that we will know the Twofold Truth. |
| 79129 Go now. Leave us to our meditations. |
| 79130 I'd gladly leave you to meditate, but not to die. |
| 79131 This isn't meditation. I've seen people meditate, and you, my friend, are not meditating. What you're doing would be better described as "baking." |
| 79132 As you wish. |
| 79133 Please, go! We're not to talk to anyone. If we're caught, we'll be punished. |
| 79134 Think, damn you! You've been left to boil in the sunâ€â€as a lesson. And even so, you tremble at the thought of what awaits if you're caught talking. What has Collus done to earn such loyalty? |
| 79135 Punished? And this situation you're in is considered what, tea and crumpets? |
| 79136 Very well. You chose your fate; I'll leave you to it. |
| 79137 Collus brought us the Twofold Truth. |
| 79138 He brought you terror and torment. You owe him nothingâ€â€certainly not your lives. |
| 79139 And look where that truth has landed you. |
| 79140 He's brought you madness. I bring you freedom. |
| 79141 He's brought you insanity and pain. I bring you freedom... and death. |
| 79142 What you say makes sense... |
| 79143 Don't listen to <PRO_HIMHER>â€â€<PRO_HESHE>'s been sent to tempt us from the true path! |
| 79144 I'll not free any who do not wish it. But I beg you, use whatever reason you've got left. This is no education: It is torture, plain and simple. |
| 79145 You're not on a path, you idiot. You're staked to the ground in the blazing sun. |
| 79146 I offer you life. Do not be so foolish as to reject it. |
| 79147 Begone! We belong to the Twofold now. We'll not be seduced away from the goddess! |
| 79148 It is sad you value the approval of your tormenter more than you do your own lives. But they are your lives. If this is how you choose to spend themâ€â€or lose themâ€â€I'll respect your wishes. |
| 79149 Perhaps not, but you're hardly in a position to STOP me from cutting you loose. |
| 79150 As you wish. |
| 79151 The <PRO_RACE> is right. This is madness. No more! Who is with me? |
| 79152 Curse you, <PRO_RACE>! Your selfishness has doomed me! |
| 79153 Iâ€â€I wish to be freed! |
| 79154 Yes, cut my bonds! |
| 79155 The pain... It is not worth it! Let me go! |
| 79156 Yes, free me! |
| 79157 I am with youâ€â€this must end! |
| 79158 This is a loose coil of rope, previously used to bind someone. STATISTICS: Weight: 5 |
| 79159 What's your problem, Horvat? |
| 79160 I see no reason to slaughter defenseless animals. |
| 79161 Something with claws is never defenseless, Horvat. |
| 79162 You need to rid yourself of your Sun Soul habits, Horvat. The Twofold Goddess has no use for the weak. |
| 79163 What new madness has Alorgoth devised? |
| 79164 The disciplines of the Sun Soul are greater than anything you would have known as Shar's servant, Coren. |
| 79165 Hah! The Sun Soul's tongue stabs like a sword. |
| 79166 Stop calling me that! I serve the Twofold Goddess now. |
| 79167 Then give her a sacrifice, Lara. Jolstead! |
| 79168 Yo! |
| 79169 Let's see how Sun Soul disciplines hold up against a wildcat's... lack of discipline. |
| 79170 Such a waste. These heretics have no sense of the sanctity of life. |
| 79171 No, but you've gotta admit they know how to have a good time. |
| 79172 Are you satisfied now, Blynnyk? |
| 79173 More than satisfied with you, Sister Lara. Let us see how your fellows do. |
| 79174 Growl? |
| 79175 And to you, my good bear. |
| 79176 I am <CHARNAME>. What are you called? |
| 79177 I'm sorry, I don't treat with bears. |
| 79178 Growl. Growl growl. |
| 79179 Wilson? A strange name for a bear. |
| 79180 Well, I wish you good fortune in whatever the future holds, Wilson. |
| 79181 You call yourself Wilson? How pedestrian. |
| 79182 Snuffle growl. |
| 79183 Forgive me. I didn't realize it was so common. To be honest, I've not had the opportunity to speak with many bears. |
| 79184 I'm sorry. I'm sure your father was a noble beast, and you do his name honor. |
| 79185 There's no need to be rude about it. |
| 79186 Uh... You know that's a bear you're talking to, right? |
| 79187 Hey, <CHARNAME>â€â€you realize you're talking to a bear, right? |
| 79188 I don't know if you're aware of this or not, <CHARNAME>, but you're currently carrying on a conversation with a bear. |
| 79189 Grunt growl growl! |
| 79190 Yes, that certainly is my loss. I shall endeavor to rectify the situation as soon as possible. |
| 79191 I just prefer dealing with people that have opposable thumbs. |
| 79192 You've given me much to think about. |
| 79193 Growl, roar! |
| 79194 I'd like nothing better. Is that something you'd consider, were you freed? |
| 79195 I'm sorry. I really don't think I'm ready to have a wild animal join my party, even one as cultured and well-spoken as you. |
| 79196 Join me? You must be joking. |
| 79197 Snort snuffle snuffle. |
| 79198 How dare you? I'll have you know some of my best friends are bears. |
| 79199 It's nothing personal. I've just had some bad experiences with bears. A pair of them once stole my picnic basket. |
| 79200 That may be so, but I'll not sugarcoat the truth. Bears are wild animals suitable only for hunting and eating. |
| 79201 Growl... |
| 79202 Well, I know I shouldn't generalize, but they stole a fine meal. |
| 79203 ROAR! |
| 79204 Snuffle snort. |
| 79205 Really? A horrific fate for so noble a beast. |
| 79206 I'll admit, considering what happened to your fellow beasts, things don't look promising for you. |
| 79207 I look forward to seeing it, you flea-bitten monstrosity. |
| 79208 Growl growl snort roar! |
| 79209 Fear not, gentle monster. I'll not allow such a fate to befall you. |
| 79210 I'll see what I can do. |
| 79211 It's unfortunate, but I really don't see what I can do about it. |
| 79212 Ho there. You'll want to keep your distance from the bearâ€â€he's of a slashing temperament. |
| 79213 I have nothing to fear from him. |
| 79214 I shall do so. |
| 79215 I am <CHARNAME>. I wish to purchase this bear. Is he for sale? |
| 79216 If it slashes me, it'll soon learn the error of its ways. Its... slashing ways. |
| 79217 ROAR! |
| 79218 Oh, be silent, you great furry lummox. |
| 79219 Best be on your way, <PRO_RACE>. The Twofolders'll be back soon, and they're not too picky about whose blood they shed. |
| 79220 I'll leave when my business here is done. |
| 79221 I hear what you're saying. Farewell. |
| 79222 Nor am I. |
| 79223 And who are you, then? |
| 79224 My name is <CHARNAME>. I would have this bear as a companion. Name your price. |
| 79225 Doesn't matter. Fare you well, beastmaster. |
| 79226 I am this bear's new owner. |
| 79227 You want a bear as your companion? Seriously? |
| 79228 Wilson's been unjustly imprisoned. He was meant to roam free, not rot in a cage waiting for a bunch of heretics to carve him up for sport. |
| 79229 But fine sport he'd make. |
| 79230 What business is that? |
| 79231 To free this bear. |
| 79232 To purchase a blanket. Do you have one? |
| 79233 I would see the monster who imprisoned this noble beast dead. That's you, isn't it? It would be terribly convenient if it were. |
| 79234 Not for sale. |
| 79235 A pity. I'll be on my way, then. |
| 79236 In that case, I'll settle for taking this bear. |
| 79237 Then I'll warm myself with your blood! |
| 79238 You seem to have skipped over the bargaining element of this transaction, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79239 How much do you want for the bear? |
| 79240 And you seem to have skipped over the running for your life part of this transaction. |
| 79241 Here's my bargain: I'll take the bear, and you'll live. |
| 79242 You want me to sell such a fine specimen? I'd sooner part with my own wife. |
| 79243 I only want the bear. |
| 79244 She must be quite a woman. How much do you want for her? |
| 79245 Don't try to upsell me, you manipulative rodent. I saw what happened to the other animalsâ€â€clearly, you've little use for the beasts in your care. |
| 79246 The Twofolders pay good coin to slaughter the beasts. If you want the bear, I expect you'll do the sameâ€â€and beat their price to boot. |
| 79247 And what is their price? |
| 79248 Eh. I'm not of a mind to bargain with the likes of you, sleazy. |
| 79249 I'm about to beat something to within an inch of their miserable life. Give me the bear, beastmonger. |
| 79250 Hah! Good one. |
| 79251 It was, wasn't it? Many thanks, good day! |
| 79252 Never mind her, then. How much for the bear? |
| 79253 Here's another good one: Give me the bear, and I won't slay you and your entire family. |
| 79254 1,000 gold pieces. |
| 79255 Done! |
| 79256 That's way beyond what I can afford. |
| 79257 1,000 gold pieces for this mangy creature? Have you been struck about the head recently? |
| 79258 All right then. 750, and not a copper less. I've a family to feed. |
| 79259 750 gold. I can manage that. |
| 79260 I can see there's going to be no reasoning with you. Good day. |
| 79261 A family you'd sooner sell than this bear, if I recall correctly. 500 gold pieces. |
| 79262 I'll take the flea-bitten monster off you for 25 gold pieces. And I'll be doing you a favor. |
| 79263 I said 750, and I meant it, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79264 Very well. |
| 79265 It will snow in Hell sooner than I'll give you 750 for this ragged monstrosity. |
| 79266 Are you really prepared to die over 750 gold pieces? |
| 79267 Let's be reasonable here, friend. You want me to sell the last animal I've got available and risk the wrath of the Twofolders who've paid a pretty penny for dozens of others I've brought them. You've got to make it worth my while. 1,000 gold pieces. |
| 79268 Very well. 1,000 gold pieces it is. |
| 79269 Choke on your bear! |
| 79270 I'll give you 500. It's a good offer. |
| 79271 Here's me being reasonable: You hand over the bear to me, and I won't hand your decapitated head over to your wife. |
| 79272 I did. |
| 79273 600, then. Final offer. |
| 79274 Done! |
| 79275 500. Best I can do. |
| 79276 Give me the bear and continue breathing. Final offer. |
| 79277 500 gold. Fine. My children will starve, but don't let that bother you. |
| 79278 And here I thought we were bargaining in good faith. I can see you don't really want the bear at all. |
| 79279 I want it. I just want it for a reasonable price. 500 gold. |
| 79280 All right, if you don't want a sale, I won't force you. |
| 79281 I do want the bear. I simply don't want to pay for him. |
| 79282 Get out of here, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79283 All right. |
| 79284 I willâ€â€when I've got the bear. |
| 79285 I'll leave when you're good and dead. |
| 79286 The bear will dine on your flesh! |
| 79287 I am attacked! Help me! HELP! |
| 79288 Eh, take it. The frowzy brute's more trouble than it's worth, anyway. |
| 79289 Hey! That one just stole my bear! |
| 79290 Eh? Who're you? |
| 79291 I am <CHARNAME>. And you are? |
| 79292 I am Collus Darathon. Don't you recognize me? |
| 79293 Come now. You're saying you don't recognize me? |
| 79294 Pull the other one, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79295 No. Should I? |
| 79296 I am <CHARNAME>. Who are you? |
| 79297 Not really, but I dare to hope. |
| 79298 Collus Darathon? Founder of this temple you're lurking outside of? You seriously don't know me? |
| 79299 I am Alorgoth. |
| 79300 You malign the Order of the Dark Moon? |
| 79301 The Dark Moon order is a false religion. |
| 79302 No, not at all. I'm Alorgoth. |
| 79303 You have a problem with that? |
| 79304 Yes. Of course it is. |
| 79305 Because you believe in the Twofold Truth. |
| 79306 You don't really believe that, do you? |
| 79307 Because you're one of the Sun Soul order. |
| 79308 Iâ€â€no. No, of course not. |
| 79309 Because you believe in the Twofold Truth. |
| 79310 Because you're one of the Sun Soul order. |
| 79311 You don't really believe that, do you? |
| 79312 Of course. |
| 79313 The Sun Soul order? Pious bootlickers. I wouldn't waste my spit on the likes of them. |
| 79314 Because you're one of the Dark Moon cult. |
| 79315 So you are of the Twofold Trust. |
| 79316 Hey, some of those pious bootlickers are my friends. |
| 79317 Is that so? Then die as all Selûne's puppets must die! |
| 79318 It's not a cult. |
| 79319 So you ARE a servant of Shar. |
| 79320 Knowledge you'll take to your grave, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 79321 Can we talk about this? |
| 79322 Stay your hand. I am with you. |
| 79323 Not before you, scum. |
| 79324 Die, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 79325 No. |
| 79326 What, you say you're of the Dark Moon? |
| 79327 I am. |
| 79328 Aren't you? |
| 79329 Why would I have anything to do with that cult of malcontents? |
| 79330 If you're of the Order, you know the words. |
| 79331 The words? |
| 79332 Sure I know the words. Solipsistic. Endearing. Mind flayer. Oats. What else, what else...? |
| 79333 Those with eyes see clearly in the blackest night. |
| 79334 Then say the words, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79335 The words? |
| 79336 Gladly! Pernicious. Serendipity. Mind flayer. Coal. Shall I go on? |
| 79337 Those with eyes see clearly in the blackest night. |
| 79338 I have just two words for you: Die. Now. |
| 79339 Nice try, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79340 What? |
| 79341 "Those with eyes see clearly in the blackest night." Now you go. |
| 79342 The brightest light casts the darkest shadow. |
| 79343 Can I be honest here? I don't know what I'm supposed to say, so I'll settle for, "Die, dog!" |
| 79344 On your guard, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 79345 Those aren't the words, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79346 They were what I was told to say. |
| 79347 Seriously? Damn it! Alorgoth will hear of this blunder, believe me! |
| 79348 Well, I gave it a shot. |
| 79349 Get out of here, <PRO_RACE>. Tell Enneth to get her people in order. |
| 79350 I'll do that. |
| 79351 I'm afraid I can't do that. I know no Enneth, and you're still alive. |
| 79352 Wait. You just made your last mistake, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79353 More than can be said for you! |
| 79354 You know Alorgoth? |
| 79355 Oh yes. I know Alorgoth. |
| 79356 He sent you here? |
| 79357 Indeed. |
| 79358 In a sense. |
| 79359 Not exactly. We're here to kill him. |
| 79360 He was the greatest of our number. I didn't want to believe he turned, but... |
| 79361 What led to the attack? |
| 79362 A concussion is pretty damning evidence. |
| 79363 You're still breathing. There are worse people whose wrath you could face. |
| 79364 What sense is that? |
| 79365 The literal sense. He sent us here. |
| 79366 Kind of an abstract sense? Like, it's not so much he sent us here so much as this is like we're, you know, meant to be? |
| 79367 It's the sense that we're here to kill him. |
| 79368 Die, infidels! |
| 79369 You speak in nonsense riddles. |
| 79370 Does Enneth know you're here? |
| 79371 He does indeed. |
| 79372 She does indeed. |
| 79373 Enneth? I don't know any Enneth. |
| 79374 You don't know the commander of the Dark Moon strike force? |
| 79375 Oh, THAT Enneth. Yes. Fully aware of my presence. |
| 79376 Enneth doesn't command the strike force. |
| 79377 Of course I do. |
| 79378 Nice try, <PRO_RACE>. Eldorin commands the force. |
| 79379 Interesting. Especially interesting because I just made Enneth up. |
| 79380 Oh? Then tell me, who does? |
| 79381 Alorgoth. Who else? |
| 79382 I do. And I order you to stand down now. |
| 79383 Er... Collus Darathon? |
| 79384 You don't know who commands your own strike force? |
| 79385 Their name, <PRO_RACE>. Tell me their name. |
| 79386 Alorgoth. Who else? |
| 79387 I do. And I order you to stand down now. |
| 79388 Er... Collus Darathon? |
| 79389 You don't know who commands your own strike force? |
| 79390 Of course. |
| 79391 All right then. As you were. |
| 79392 Wait. |
| 79393 What's your business here? |
| 79394 I have come to join the Twofold Trust. And your name is? |
| 79395 I heard there was good fishing in these parts. You know anything about that? |
| 79396 I've come to slay Alorgoth. |
| 79397 There's a lake a mile yonder. Good fishing there. Best of luck. |
| 79398 My thanks... What was your name again? |
| 79399 I'll have to check that out. Good day to you, sir. |
| 79400 I've changed my mind. Now I'm thinking I'd rather go hunting... |
| 79401 Speak clearly, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 79402 Very well: I am going to kill you. |
| 79403 You whatâ€â€? What has Alorgoth to do with the Twofold Heresy? Theyâ€â€we seek the Dark Moon order's destruction. |
| 79404 We believe Alorgoth is secretly behind the heresy. |
| 79405 So it would seem. |
| 79406 You call the Twofold Truth a heresy and stumble over your allegiance. You are no member of the Trust. |
| 79407 What you say isâ€â€it's nonsense. |
| 79408 Perhaps. It is, nevertheless, what we believe. |
| 79409 You seem very certain. |
| 79410 We'll see. |
| 79411 Explain why the leader of the Dark Moon order would side with heretics. |
| 79412 The Dark Moon leader has many schemes. |
| 79413 I am very certain. The Dark Moon want the heretics destroyed. |
| 79414 Which are you of, the Dark Moon order or the Twofold Trust? |
| 79415 You call believers of the Twofold Truth heretics? |
| 79416 What makes you so certain? What do you know? |
| 79417 You'll die never knowing, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 79418 Of course not. I am a believer myself. |
| 79419 In what, precisely? |
| 79420 Just as much as I am, I'm sure. What's your name, "believer"? |
| 79421 I too am a believer. Right now, I believe I'll kill you. |
| 79422 Oh, forget it. |
| 79423 I am Lemzenn of the Twofold Trust. |
| 79424 Why is a member of the Trust lurking in the shadows of its temple? |
| 79425 And I suppose hiding in the bushes is some kind of trial? |
| 79426 Soon you will be Lemzenn the carrion feast. |
| 79427 It is. Now begone; I am forbidden to talk to anyone. |
| 79428 I wish you good fortune in your efforts, Lemzenn. |
| 79429 It's a bit late for that now. Are you sure you didn't just make that up to get rid of me? |
| 79430 It saddens me that I actually consider this a plausible excuse for you to be rid of me. |
| 79431 I'm warning you, <PRO_RACE>. Go now, or... |
| 79432 No need to finish that sentence. I shall go. |
| 79433 Or what? |
| 79434 I am doing Collus Darathon's bidding. That's all you need know. |
| 79435 But why would he tell you to skulk here in the brush? Is this some sort of trial, testing your devotion? |
| 79436 He bid you lurk in the shadows of the temple? Are all his biddings so... idiosyncratic? |
| 79437 Indeed. |
| 79438 I'm not one to question the great Collus Darathon. |
| 79439 Perhaps you should start when he tells you to slink about the temple like a mouse. |
| 79440 Not to worry. I'll question him for you. |
| 79441 Nor am I. Good day to you. |
| 79442 Get out of here, <PRO_RACE>. Leave me to Darathon's work. |
| 79443 Darathon's work is a fool's labor. Join me. Together we can turn this cult to more useful ends. |
| 79444 Yeah, I don't think I'll be doing that. |
| 79445 Yeah, all right. |
| 79446 Would that I could. Begone, <PRO_RACE>. 'Twixt the two of us, the Twofold Heresy is not much longer for the world. |
| 79447 What are you saying? |
| 79448 If you say so. Good day to you, Lemzenn. |
| 79449 Well, that's intriguing. Tell me more. |
| 79450 That's something you and the heresy share in common. |
| 79451 I've said all I'll say. Go from this place, lest you share its fate. |
| 79452 You've convinced me. Farewell, Lemzenn. |
| 79453 I'm afraid I can't do that. |
| 79454 I said begone. |
| 79455 And I told you no. |
| 79456 Join me. Together we can bend this cult to our will. Think of the power we would wield. |
| 79457 All right, all right. I can take the hint. |
| 79458 I'll begone from this place after you've begone from this world. |
| 79459 Then you leave me no choice. |
| 79460 You chose your fate, viper! |
| 79461 Venomous cur! In Shar's name, die! |
| 79462 I'll open your throat, you treacherous snake! |
| 79463 The crows will gnaw on your bones, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 79464 Peering into the murky darkness below, you can just make out a large, circular chamber. The center is lit by a vertical shaft of light from this opening. |
| 79465 Peering into the murky darkness below, you can barely discern a large, circular chamber. The center is lit by a vertical shaft of light from this opening. You notice nearby emplacements that could be used to rope down into the hole. |
| 79466 You tie the rope around an emplacement and slide down into the temple below. |
| 79467 Sliding down the rope, you keep your landing quiet so as not to draw attention. The rope was not as strong as you had anticipated, and so you dare not use it again for fear of falling. |
| 79468 Welcome, followers! Welcome to this house of truth, the temple of the Twofold Goddess. |
| 79469 Boo dislikes this place. These people are trapped in a wheel that turns and turns, but never moves forward. |
| 79470 It is him! Alorgoth is here! |
| 79471 Alorgoth, or just Collus? |
| 79472 Patience, Rasaad. Wait for the right moment. |
| 79473 Then do something about it. |
| 79474 I tell you, <CHARNAME>, they are the same man! |
| 79475 You have traveled far, endured much to feel the ecstasy of the Twofold revelation. |
| 79476 I've a feeling we'll endure much more before this is over. |
| 79477 Revelatory ecstasy. My least favorite kind. |
| 79478 Well, there is your quarry, Rasaad. Let's finish this. |
| 79479 Alorgoth! Face me now! |
| 79480 Who speaks the name of the accursed Alorgoth here in the temple of the Twofold? |
| 79481 Deceiver! I'm not fooled by your tricks! |
| 79482 Are you sure it's a trick, Rasaad? |
| 79483 Unlike, you know, every one who's ever met both Alorgoth and Darathon. But hey, they're just everyone who's ever met both Alorgoth and Darathon. Give them no heed. |
| 79484 Alorgoth or Darathon, it matters not. Whatever your name, your death is at hand! |
| 79485 Your grief has driven you mad, monk! Darathon bears not even a passing resemblance to Alorgoth! |
| 79486 I know you, Rasaad yn Bashir. How far you have fallen. |
| 79487 The farther you fall, the higher you rise again. |
| 79488 It's not too late to run, Rasaad. |
| 79489 Not as far as you're about to. |
| 79490 If you do rise again. Which I promise you shall not. |
| 79491 Flee with vengeance at hand? You know me better than that, <CHARNAME>. |
| 79492 Kill them. Kill them all! |
| 79493 No! He mustn't escape! |
| 79494 We've got other things to worry about right now, Rasaad. |
| 79495 Kill them! |
| 79496 But only the strongest, most hearty, most faithful and loyal Twofold disciples can be allowed into the Trust. Your trials have just begun. |
| 79497 Are you sure you want to go through with this, Rasaad? |
| 79498 I don't like the sound of this... |
| 79499 Your trials near an end, Rasaad. Strike now, before it's too late. |
| 79500 Four tests you must undergo. Four trials to face. To become one of the Trust, you must experience pain and penance, the Blinding Sun and the Bright Moon. All can be found within the walls of this temple. May the Twofold smile on your efforts. |
| 79501 Pain, penance, blinding sun, bright moon. We can do this. |
| 79502 Four tests? Oh, see now that's just excessive. Three tests I can see, but four? Who needs followers that mindlessly loyal? |
| 79503 Take him now, Rasaad. You'll never have a better chance than this. |
| 79504 The Twofold Trust, apparently. |
| 79505 We've little choice at this point, <CHARNAME>. |
| 79506 If you say so. |
| 79507 You're getting a little too comfortable with deception, Rasaad. If I were you, I'd kill Collus Darathon now and be done with this Twofold nonsense once and for all. |
| 79508 Your words sting, but I cannot deny their truth. |
| 79509 If... WHEN you've passed the trials, you will see me again. Farewell. |
| 79510 Let's get these tests over with. |
| 79511 Great. We had a shot at him, and we blew it. Now we have no choice but to play his games... |
| 79512 We will see you again, monster. You can count on that. |
| 79513 I should have struck when I had the chance. |
| 79514 Better opportunities will present themselves, Rasaad. |
| 79515 Well sure, you say that now, but where was that initiative a minute ago? |
| 79516 You're right. You should have. |
| 79517 I'll bear those words in mind next time you advise restraint, <CHARNAME>. |
| 79518 All the wisdom I've blessed you with, and this is what you choose to remember. I don't know why I bother with you, Rasaad, I really don't. |
| 79519 Restraint? Me? I think you've got the wrong <PRO_GIRLBOY>, Rasaad. |
| 79520 Restraint is for cowards. |
| 79521 It must be my winning personality. |
| 79522 Welcome, followers! Welcome to this house of truth, the temple of the Twofold Goddess. |
| 79523 Boo dislikes this place. These people are trapped in a wheel that turns and turns, but never moves forward. |
| 79524 You have traveled far, endured much to feel the ecstasy of the Twofold revelation. |
| 79525 The monkey's half right. I have traveled far and endured much in your company of chimps, <CHARNAME>, but it'll be some time before I enjoy anything remotely resembling ecstasy, I suspect. |
| 79526 "Endured much"? You wouldn't know endurance if it bit ya on the nose, y'pampered priss! |
| 79527 But only the strongest, most hearty, most faithful and loyal Twofold disciples can be allowed into the Trust. Your trials have just begun. |
| 79528 Tell us more of these tests, Master Darathon. |
| 79529 Why do secret orders of monks always insist on such stringent criteria? They'd have more members if they were just a little bit less... fanatical about the whole thing. |
| 79530 I've a trial for you to endure, villain! |
| 79531 Who speaks? Identify yourself, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Why have you come to this house of truth? |
| 79532 My name is <CHARNAME>. I've come seeking the Twofold Truth, and to expose a villain. |
| 79533 You know, I'm not entirely clear on that anymore. I'll just be going now. |
| 79534 I am <CHARNAME>. I've come to your house of lies to burn it to the groundâ€â€and its creator along with it! |
| 79535 The Trust is stronger than any one member, even me. Easily strong enough to deal with the likes of you. Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 79536 You spy on us for our enemies! Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 79537 You claim to seek the truth, yet you call me villain. Your arrogance has betrayed you, <PRO_RACE>. Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 79538 You would join the Trust? Very well. But it will not be easy. |
| 79539 Four tests you must undergo. Four trials to face. To become one of the Trust, you must experience pain and penance, the Blinding Sun and the Bright Moon. All can be found within the walls of this temple. May the Twofold smile on your efforts. |
| 79540 Pain, penance, blinding sun, bright moon. I can do this. |
| 79541 Four tests? Oh, see now that's just excessive. Three tests I can see, but four? Who needs followers that mindlessly loyal? |
| 79542 Take him now, Rasaad. You'll never have a better chance than this. |
| 79543 You presume to judge the Twofold Goddess? |
| 79544 I would never, mighty Darathon. Forgive my impertinence. |
| 79545 Sorry, did I say that out loud? I meant to mutter. Please go on. |
| 79546 I presume to judge you, charlatan. |
| 79547 If... WHEN you've passed the Trials, you will see me again. Farewell. |
| 79548 I look forward to it. |
| 79549 Great. We had a shot at him, and we blew it. Now we have no choice but to play his games... |
| 79550 We will see you again, monster. You can count on that. |
| 79551 They are an assassin! Kill them! |
| 79552 You need to learn respect, <PRO_RACE>. Guards, please cut <PRO_HISHER> tongue from <PRO_HISHER> mouth. |
| 79553 RASAAD! End this madness! |
| 79554 That voice... No! It cannot be! |
| 79555 It is I, Rasaad. Lay down your armsâ€â€there is still time to salvage this disaster. |
| 79556 Rasaad, you know this man? |
| 79557 Lay down my arms? I don't think so. I'd rather have my arms standing upright. Which is an odd thing for arms to do, now that I think of it. It'd make more sense if they were actually called legs. |
| 79558 I'm afraid you're right out of time, monk! |
| 79559 He isâ€â€wasâ€â€the Sun Soul order's Master of Combat. |
| 79560 Once, but no longer. |
| 79561 How is this possible? What madness has taken you that you have taken up service to Alorgoth? |
| 79562 <CHARNAME>, wait! Stay your hand. I know this man. He isâ€â€wasâ€â€the Sun Soul order's Master of Combat. |
| 79563 Another Sun Soul turned to the heresy? At this rate, the order will have no members at all come next tenday. |
| 79564 Master of Combat? Let me guess: He was the cook. |
| 79565 I'll stay my hand when the wretch lies dead at my feet! |
| 79566 Selûne's servants still number in the thousands. Ultimately, they will come to the Twofold Truth, even as I have. |
| 79567 Just remember, you chose this fight, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. |
| 79568 I know nothing of Alorgoth. I serve Collus Darathon and the Twofold Trust. As for why... It was you who set me on the Twofold path. |
| 79569 Rasaad believes Darathon and Alorgoth are one and the same. |
| 79570 Huh. I did not see that coming. |
| 79571 You've walked a crooked path yourself, Rasaad. Might be worth listening to what he has to say. |
| 79572 Explain yourself, heretic! |
| 79573 Mind your tongue, Rasaad. I may no longer be of the Sun Soul, but I earned my title. You ask me why I turned to the Twofold Truth? |
| 79574 Impossible! |
| 79575 "Impossible." Why must you always think in such absolute terms? No, don't answerâ€â€I'm well aware of why. But I tell you again, you were the one who inspired me to seek the truth. |
| 79576 For years I watched youâ€â€the most promising student I ever hadâ€â€use deception to spare your brother's feelings. Over time, I came to realize that there is more than the blinding light and darkness of the Sun Soul philosophy. This is a world painted in shades of gray. There are times when subtlety, even lies, serve the greater good. |
| 79577 Don't listen to him, Rasaad. He seeks only to undermine your faith. |
| 79578 Makes sense to me. |
| 79579 Your world is about to be painted in shades of bloody crimson, monk! |
| 79580 I would not, and I need not. I know what I sawâ€â€if Rasaad denies the truth of my words, he's told the greatest lie to himself. |
| 79581 If you believe that, you don't know Rasaad. |
| 79582 He has a point, Rasaad. You turned to deception readily enough when it served your purposes. |
| 79583 Rasaad couldn't fool a five-year old with candy in his hand, never mind himself. |
| 79584 No. The Master of Combat is right. I've deceived everyone, myself most of all. |
| 79585 It goes against everything I've been taught. |
| 79586 Turn back to the light, Rasaad. Strike now, in Selûne's name. |
| 79587 Much of which was taught to you by him, if I understand things correctly. If he can see things differently, why can't you do the same? |
| 79588 What you've been taught has no place in the real world. |
| 79589 Forgive me, master. I cannot allow this to continue. You will renounce this heresyâ€â€or pay the price for it. |
| 79590 Perhaps there is something to what you say. |
| 79591 I ask only that you consider the possibility, Rasaad. |
| 79592 A little consideration goes a long way. |
| 79593 There are many possibilities worth considering here, my friend. |
| 79594 The only possibilities meriting consideration here are exactly how you will die, old man. |
| 79595 What do you mean, <CHARNAME>? |
| 79596 Just that your Master of Combat's making sense. |
| 79597 The Twofold may or may not accurately represent Selûne and Shar. But it is a far more reasonable philosophy than that which the Sun Soul order espouses. |
| 79598 These men and women have abandoned the Sun Soul and Dark Moon for a reason. They are looking for a workable philosophyâ€â€and a worthy leader. You could be that leader. |
| 79599 What? |
| 79600 What of it? |
| 79601 An age of reasonâ€â€and accommodationâ€â€is something worth fighting for. |
| 79602 Much good could be done by a group such as thisâ€â€if the group has the right person at its head. |
| 79603 Why would you make yourself a slave to an unworkable worldview? |
| 79604 You would have me lead the Twofold Trust? |
| 79605 Listen to them, Rasaad. There is a better way than you have been taught. |
| 79606 But... everything I learned... everything I was taught... |
| 79607 Really? You grasp at straws, Rasaad. Collus is in all ways opposed to the Dark Moon order. |
| 79608 I fear his grief blinds him to reality. |
| 79609 See, the mistake you're making here is that you're trying to talk sense to a man obsessed. |
| 79610 There may be more going on here than you know. |
| 79611 Perfectly understandable. There can be no greater loss than a family member. |
| 79612 I lose more family by the second. Gamaz, Hammerhelm, now you, master. What sins have I committed that I should be abandoned so? |
| 79613 Your sin is pride, Rasaad. |
| 79614 We are toys to the gods, Rasaad. Only a fool seeks logic in their caprices. |
| 79615 You have sinned against yourselfâ€â€willingly limited your own potential. |
| 79616 How can you say that of me, <CHARNAME>? |
| 79617 You are not proud of yourself, Rasaadâ€â€though you've good reason to be. No, your sin is in your devotion to the unworkable restraints of the Sun Soul order. There must be a reason so many have abandoned it in favor of the Twofold Truth. |
| 79618 Easy. I've talked to you for more than fifteen minutes. |
| 79619 You spout the pious platitudes of the Sun Soul order, but believe yourself above its precepts. How quickly did you turn to deception when it suited your needs? |
| 79620 You damn me with the truth. |
| 79621 The Twofold Truth offers you freedom, if only you're willing to take it. |
| 79622 Damnation is a state of mind, nothing more. |
| 79623 I do nothing of the sort. I am trying to show you a new perspective, one you would do well to consider. |
| 79624 An easy thing to say, <CHARNAME>. Not so easy to change. |
| 79625 What perspective is this? |
| 79626 It is the truth, Rasaad. As part of the Trust, you need hide no longer. |
| 79627 You would have me kneel before Alorgoth? No, never. |
| 79628 I cannot deny the possibility. What can you tell me that would change my mind? |
| 79629 I trust Rasaad above all. If he says Alorgoth and Collus are the same man, then they are the same man. |
| 79630 Nothing. But I'm glad you're open to the possibility. |
| 79631 He's playing for time. Don't be deceived. |
| 79632 I have never known Rasaad to take action without good reason. Perhaps there is something to what you say. |
| 79633 I have never known Rasaad to take action without good reason. But the loss of his brother has made him a different man than the one I knew. |
| 79634 Your friend is wise, Rasaad. |
| 79635 Worthy aspirants! You have passed the tests and earned your place in the Twofold Trust. |
| 79636 Where is Collus Darathon? We were told he'd be here. |
| 79637 Awesome. Do we get a medal? |
| 79638 I am pretty awesome. Really, far too awesome to waste my time with you lot. |
| 79639 It better prove worth the effort, monk. |
| 79640 No! It cannot be! |
| 79641 What's the matter? |
| 79642 Yes! It must be! What are we talking about? |
| 79643 What are you babbling about now? |
| 79644 It is good to see you again, Rasaad. |
| 79645 Rasaad, you know this man? |
| 79646 Who are you? |
| 79647 He isâ€â€wasâ€â€the Sun Soul order's Master of Combat. |
| 79648 Another Sun Soul turned to the heresy? At this rate, the order will have no members at all come next tenday. |
| 79649 Master of Combat? Let me guess: He was the cook. |
| 79650 And now the traitor will die. |
| 79651 Once, but no longer. |
| 79652 Obviously. |
| 79653 How is this possible? What madness has taken you that you have taken up service to Alorgoth? |
| 79654 Collus was called away on urgent business. He promises to return soon. |
| 79655 Don't be alarmed. Rasaad and I are old friends. |
| 79656 Once, I was the Sun Soul order's Master of Combat. |
| 79657 The Trust could use someone like you. It's unfortunate you don't see the value in it that it sees in you. Just remember, you chose this fight. |
| 79658 Alorgoth? You misunderstand the Trust, Rasaad. I serve Collus Darathon. As for why... It was you that set me on this path. |
| 79659 Battle Master! Four strike forces under the Dark Moon's banner approach the temple! |
| 79660 How many men have the Sharrans mustered together? |
| 79661 The sentries say at least a dozen men each. |
| 79662 The Twofold Trust has barely been founded, and already it faces its doom. |
| 79663 This sounds like a good time to get the hell out of here. |
| 79664 Unless I severely underestimate the Trust's numbers, you're looking in the face of a massacre, O Master of Combat. |
| 79665 Only if you fancy going through an army of the Dark Moon. |
| 79666 Four strike forcesâ€â€one to block each possible escape route. |
| 79667 Prepare for a siege. |
| 79668 We're not yet prepared. Damn it, how did the Sharrans find the temple so quickly? It should have taken them weeks to be able to gather enough men to strike at us! |
| 79669 The Dark Moon approaches, <CHARNAME>. Who will you stand with? |
| 79670 With you, Rasaad. Always with you. But will you stand next to your old master, or simply watch the slaughter unfold? |
| 79671 Stand? I was thinking more in terms of, you know, running. |
| 79672 I stand with myself, though that's a distinction I doubt the Sharrans will take into consideration. We have no choice but to join the Twofoldersâ€â€at least until an opportunity to escape appears. |
| 79673 I am torn. My loyalty to the Sun Soul tells me I should let the heretics be smashed by the Sharransâ€â€darkness blotting out darkness. Yet so many here were once my brothers or sisters, and I have stood my entire life against the servants of Shar. |
| 79674 Without our help, the Twofolders don't stand a chance. You've no love for Collus Darathon, but are you willing to stand by while those he's duped fall in his name? |
| 79675 You think you're torn now, wait until the Dark Moon has us drawn and quartered. |
| 79676 You owe these traitors nothing, Rasaad. Do as I plan toâ€â€hang back and wait for an opportunity to escape. |
| 79677 We must join forces with the Trust if we are to survive this. |
| 79678 Agreed. |
| 79679 I'm not sure we do... |
| 79680 Join forces with them? No, Rasaad. If we're to survive this, you must lead them. |
| 79681 The Master of Combat says there is no escape. Believe me, he would know. |
| 79682 Then I guess I'm fighting with the Twofolders. |
| 79683 Up until ten minutes ago, you believed the Master of Combat was a loyal member of the Sun Soul order. You'll forgive me if I'm a little hesitant to take you at your word where he's concerned. |
| 79684 For the patient and the wise, there's always a way to escape. |
| 79685 You would leave these people to die? |
| 79686 Not happily. |
| 79687 In fairness, these people were just trying to kill me. |
| 79688 If it means I get to live, yes. You owe them nothing, Rasaad. |
| 79689 Maybe not, but the thought of a Dark Moon victory galls me. |
| 79690 Then we'll have to make it a costly victoryâ€â€or an imaginary one. |
| 79691 I'll take being galled over being dead. Think, Rasaadâ€â€if you die, who will avenge your brother? |
| 79692 Dark Moon, Twofold Heretics... They're all enemies, Rasaad. Let them die. |
| 79693 Enough, <CHARNAME>. I'll do as you say, though I like it not. |
| 79694 Fair enough. |
| 79695 I don't like this, <CHARNAME>. Yes, we were at odds with the Twofolders. |
| 79696 Even so, I'll not let them fall to the Dark Moon scum. |
| 79697 I'll fight with the Twofolders... for now. |
| 79698 Then you must lead them. |
| 79699 Then you'll die for a faith you don't believe in. |
| 79700 I imagine this is where we part company, then. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 79701 Wait, wait. I've no love for the Twofolders, but I'll not abandon a friend. |
| 79702 Go with whichever goddess you think will serve you best, Rasaad. |
| 79703 Damn it, Rasaad, you win. I'll fight with the Twofolders, on one condition. You must be the one to lead them. |
| 79704 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. You don't know what your support means to me. |
| 79705 Lead the Twofold Trust? You're mad, <CHARNAME>. |
| 79706 Your friend has the truth of the matter, Rasaad. I am old... weak. There is no one here better suited to lead the Trust against the Dark Moon. |
| 79707 I cannot... |
| 79708 Then we'll all die. You carry a heavy burden alreadyâ€â€are you really so eager to add to it? |
| 79709 This is no time for false modesty, Rasaad. Or any modesty. These people need you. |
| 79710 You will, because you must. You were born to lead, Rasaad. |
| 79711 Very well, <CHARNAME>. I'll do what I can to justify your faith. |
| 79712 The burden will grow no matter what I do. But if you and the Master of Combat are in agreement, I have little choice. |
| 79713 Master of Combatâ€â€we no longer see eye to eye on everything, but when it comes to the Order of the Dark Moon, we are of one mind. What would you have us do? |
| 79714 HEAR MY WORDS, YOU WHO SOUGHT THE TWOFOLD TRUTH! In moments, we shall face the servants of Shar. Prepare yourselves! |
| 79715 I am not. |
| 79716 HEED ME, YOU WHO SEEK THE TWOFOLD TRUTH! If you would see tomorrow's dawn, follow me now! If we strike now, before the Sharran forces have a chance to assemble, we may yet win the day. |
| 79717 Rasaad tells it true. By dawn, the Dark Moon will know the Truth of the Twofold goddess! |
| 79718 Battle Master! Four strike forces under the Dark Moon's banner approach the temple! |
| 79719 How many men have the Sharrans mustered together? |
| 79720 The sentries say at least a dozen men each. |
| 79721 The Twofold Trust has barely been founded, and already it faces its doom. |
| 79722 This sounds like a good time to get the hell out of here. |
| 79723 Unless I severely underestimate the Trust's numbers, you're looking in the face of a massacre. |
| 79724 Four strike forcesâ€â€one to block each possible escape route. |
| 79725 We're not yet prepared. Damn it, how did the Sharrans find the temple so quickly? It should have taken them weeks to be able to gather enough men to strike at us! |
| 79726 How they did it is of no consequence. All that matters is how we respond. |
| 79727 I smell a mystery. Unfortunately, I also smell an imminent slaughter, so I'll just be going now. |
| 79728 You've been betrayed, monk. It's the only way the Dark Moon could have organized this assault so quickly. |
| 79729 Will you stand with us against the Dark Moon, then? |
| 79730 I will. |
| 79731 Uh, no. No, I will not. I will stand nearby and watch you fight them, though. |
| 79732 I stand with no one but myself. |
| 79733 Count yourself lucky I've better things to worry about right now. If you won't help us, begone from this place! |
| 79734 If you're not with us, you're a liability. Kill them! |
| 79735 Then let us go forth and meet the enemy! |
| 79736 I'll seek the culprit out after we've repelled the Sharrans. |
| 79737 We'll show the Sharrans a darkness deeper than any they ever imagined. |
| 79738 I think you mean IF you repel them. Well, they clearly find you repellent or they wouldn't beâ€â€oh, never mind. |
| 79739 When you say "we" I assume you're referring to your doomed followers and not to me, correct? |
| 79740 You stand on the threshold of the Room of Pain. Are you prepared the face the judgment of both light and shadow? |
| 79741 I am. |
| 79742 Er, no. No, I am not. |
| 79743 Are you prepared to face my judgment? |
| 79744 The Twofold take you! |
| 79745 The temple is attacked! Help me! |
| 79746 Leave your weapons, armor, and other belongings here. You'll have no use for them where you're going. |
| 79747 Very well. |
| 79748 Hm. No, I don't think I'll be doing that. |
| 79749 Leave my things with you? Over my dead body. Or, more accurately, over your dead body. |
| 79750 Soon, you will be tempted to renounce the Twofold Goddess. Regardless of your suffering, you must hold on to her truth. Do you understand? |
| 79751 I do. |
| 79752 Not really, and the more I hear, the less I crave understanding. I think I'll just be going now. |
| 79753 Do you require understanding, or simply obedience? |
| 79754 I understand. Many have turned away from the Room of Pain, though it is the only path to joining the Twofold Trust. |
| 79755 I've come too far to turn back now, <CHARNAME>. I must enter the room. |
| 79756 The Trust could use a <PRO_MANWOMAN> like you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 79757 All right. I'm in. |
| 79758 It's going to have to do without one of them for the time being. |
| 79759 I'll have no part in this foolishness. |
| 79760 Ideally, both. Though we'll settle for obedience, for the moment. |
| 79761 All right. If I'm to do this at all, best to get it over with. |
| 79762 Ironically, your answer inspires understanding but not obedience. I believe I'll just take my things back and go now. |
| 79763 Then you're going to be disappointed. |
| 79764 A twofold blessing upon you. Enter. |
| 79765 As you wish. |
| 79766 You have entered the Room of Pain. Your only armor is the Twofold Truth. Is this enough to hold and keep you through the trial that awaits? |
| 79767 It is. |
| 79768 I really, really doubt it. |
| 79769 Let's find out. |
| 79770 I do not believe you. |
| 79771 The goddess has no use for you, <PRO_RACE>! Renounce the Twofold and end the suffering! |
| 79772 Never! |
| 79773 All right, all right! No goddess deserves this kind of sacrifice, regardless of how many faces she wears. |
| 79774 I'll see you dead for this, monk! |
| 79775 Hollow threats! Who do you serve? |
| 79776 I serve the Twofold Goddess! |
| 79777 I serve mashed potatoes to Lord Finischuk of Darehold! |
| 79778 I'll serve you your own liver, scum! |
| 79779 You'll what? |
| 79780 Continue the trial, monk. |
| 79781 I don't know, I just said whatever came into my mind. |
| 79782 I'll kill you with my bare hands! |
| 79783 Would you continue the trial? |
| 79784 I would. |
| 79785 No, I think I've had enough for now. |
| 79786 You'll die trying, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 79787 Have you changed your mind? Do you still think yourself worthy of the glory of serving the Twofold? |
| 79788 I will prove my worth to her and to you. |
| 79789 I can barely think at all at this point. Which is, I think, a good point to stop being brutally assaulted. |
| 79790 I'm not worthy! Call off your dogs! |
| 79791 You can end this with a word, <PRO_RACE>. Just say it! Say you reject the Twofold Truth! |
| 79792 Never! |
| 79793 That's five words, you ninny. I'm being beaten senseless, and I can still count better than you! |
| 79794 I reject the Twofold Truth! I renounce the Dark Moon heresy and all who embrace it! |
| 79795 The Twofold Goddess has little use for math! |
| 79796 How much longer can you endure, <PRO_RACE>? How much will it take before you cast aside the Twofold Goddess? |
| 79797 More than you've got, torturer! |
| 79798 A little more. Not much, but I still feel the spirit in me. Yea, O yea, praise be to the Twofold Goddess! |
| 79799 No more! Mercy, please, I beg you! |
| 79800 Your body is strong, but your spirit is weak! |
| 79801 Admit it, <PRO_RACE>! The goddess has abandoned you! Why else would she permit you to suffer? Renounce the Twofold Truth! |
| 79802 I'd suffer a thousand deaths to prove my loyalty to the goddess! |
| 79803 I don't think a senseless beating is the appropriate place to discuss religious philosophy! When this is over, perhaps we can discuss the goddess's foibles over tea. |
| 79804 Yes! I'm not worthy to serve the goddess! End this, please! |
| 79805 I'll discuss her glory over your grave! |
| 79806 All of this and still you cling to the Dark Moon heresy? Your misguided faith is your doom! You are a fool, and soon you will be a dead fool! |
| 79807 I cling to no heresyâ€â€I hold to the truth, the Twofold Truth. |
| 79808 I'd rather die a holy fool than wise and without faith. |
| 79809 No! No more! I will not die for a goddess who abandons me to such suffering! |
| 79810 Even if your heretic's beliefs are true, they cannot be worth this pain! Just say you don't believe in the Twofold, <PRO_RACE>! They're only wordsâ€â€in your heart, you will know the truth. |
| 79811 That's not good enough. What I know in my heart, you must know in yours! |
| 79812 I'll tear your heart out and show your lies to the world, you pustulent boil! |
| 79813 Nothing is worth this suffering! I tell you I do not believe in the Twofold Goddess! Just end this! |
| 79814 You'll die in this room, you faithless waste of flesh! |
| 79815 How does it feel to know you've died for nothing, <PRO_RACE>? Your faith has doomed you, and your pride has damned you! |
| 79816 If damnation is the Twofold's wish, then I embrace it! |
| 79817 All this being beaten to a bloody pulp is making me hungry. Could you a spare me a crust of bread after you're done with the senseless pummeling? |
| 79818 No more, gentle monk, I beg you! I abjure the Twofold Goddess and all who cling to that false religion! Please, just leave me be. |
| 79819 You say you want a crust of bread? |
| 79820 That, and membership in the Twofold Trust. |
| 79821 Yes, do you have one handy? |
| 79822 That, and an end to the merciless drubbing. |
| 79823 You're worthy of neither. Continue the trial! |
| 79824 Do you renounce the Twofold Goddess and her servants? |
| 79825 That is something I will never do. |
| 79826 Do you promise you'll give me something to eat? |
| 79827 Yes, yes! Her servants, her sister, her cousins, her brother-in-law! I'll renounce them all if you'll just put an end to my pain! |
| 79828 Tell me you spurn the Twofold Goddess and her truth, and I'll give you a feast the likes of which you've never seen! |
| 79829 I'll never spurn the goddess. Never! |
| 79830 Your offer is just a little too good to be true. I'll stick with the Twofold, if it's all the same to you. |
| 79831 Let me see: Get beaten near to death, or enjoy a great feast. What to choose, what to choose...? Feed me, please. |
| 79832 Then prepare to pay the ultimate price! |
| 79833 Tell me your name, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! |
| 79834 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 79835 Why do you want to know? |
| 79836 I'll stuff my name down your vile throat! |
| 79837 Rejoice, <CHARNAME>! You have successfully endured the Trial of Pain. You are truly a champion of shadow and light. You will make a fine addition to the Trust. |
| 79838 I thank you, sir. |
| 79839 I would've made a finer one still before I was beaten halfway to death's door. But a win's a win, I suppose. |
| 79840 When I am recovered, we shall have words on what occurred here this day. |
| 79841 I would know the name of the worthy who withstood so much to serve our goddess's cause. |
| 79842 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 79843 I passed? |
| 79844 "Withstood so much"? You call that a trial? I'd face worse from a pack of newborn kittens! |
| 79845 Peace, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Your suffering is at an end. |
| 79846 You have. |
| 79847 In that case, my name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 79848 Then I'll say good day to you and be on my way. |
| 79849 You've nothing more to prove to me, noble <PRO_SIRMAAM>. You have proven your strength, both in body and conviction. |
| 79850 My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 79851 My body and conviction are strong, but when it comes to odor, I must bow to you, sir. Good day. |
| 79852 I never had anything to prove to you, monk. Now stand aside. I would take my leave of this place. |
| 79853 You have failed miserably, <PRO_RACE>! Leave the temple now and never return, or you'll know the wrath of the Twofold Trust. |
| 79854 Woe unto me. My arrogance has cost me dearly. |
| 79855 I've known the Trust's wrath quite enough for this lifetime, thank you very much. |
| 79856 Someday you'll know my wrath, monk. |
| 79857 A valiant effort, <PRO_SIRMAAM>... but a failed one. Go forth, heal, and contemplate the Twofold Truth. When your body is restored and your soul fortified, you may return to take the test again. |
| 79858 Ah! You were so close, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! If only you had had the strength to endure just a little more... but no. You have failed the test. Go forth, heal, and contemplate the Twofold Truth. When your body is restored and your soul fortified, you may return to try and prove your worth to the Trust once more. |
| 79859 Welcome, truthseeker. Through yonder door lies the Blinding Sun. |
| 79860 What trial awaits us there? |
| 79861 I hope you don't mind my saying so, but you make that sound completely unappealing. |
| 79862 The Twofold Goddess would blind her servants? |
| 79863 Within, you will learn the dark truth of the Twofold Goddess. |
| 79864 I thought she was a goddess of light and darkness? |
| 79865 Dark truth? Pass. |
| 79866 While without, you will learn the dark truth of sudden death. |
| 79867 Only so they might better see. |
| 79868 What you say is true. It is here that you will learn to value that darkness. |
| 79869 I don't like the sound of that. |
| 79870 Few of those who come to us from the Sun Soul order do. That is why this room is critically important to your understanding of the Twofold. |
| 79871 As the old saying goes, there are none so blind as those who will not see. The Trial of the Blinding Sun will teach you to see things in a new light. |
| 79872 And a new darkness. |
| 79873 New lights? I'm more than satisfied with the old ones, thanks. |
| 79874 Another saying you might have heard: Death comes for us all. It's here for you right now. |
| 79875 If you succeed, yes. Will you take the test? |
| 79876 I will. |
| 79877 Maybe later. Or not at all. |
| 79878 I'll take your life first. |
| 79879 This is my only chance to reach Alorgoth, <CHARNAME>. I must take it. |
| 79880 What say you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>? |
| 79881 Very well. Show me your Blinding Sun. |
| 79882 I say good day. Have patience, Rasaad. There'll be other, better opportunities for vengeance. |
| 79883 I say you're a head too tall. Allow me to fix that for you. |
| 79884 I'll have your eyes, you wretch! |
| 79885 Assassin! Assassin in the Blinding Sun! Help! |
| 79886 Well done, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. In the blinding light, your darkness has triumphed, and in doing so, you have gained new insight into the Twofold Truth. |
| 79887 The Twofold Goddess smiles upon my endeavors. |
| 79888 If you say so. |
| 79889 Yeah, whatever. |
| 79890 Still your tongue or I'll give you new insight into dying. |
| 79891 She truly does. Remember what you've learned here today, and walk with her always. |
| 79892 I shall. |
| 79893 All I've learned here today is that Collus Darathon is a sadistic madman. |
| 79894 I'll walk with your goddess, monk. But your walking days are over. Along with your breathing days and your not dying violently at my hand days. |
| 79895 We are one step closer to joining the Twofold Trust. One step closer to Alorgoth. |
| 79896 Remember what you've learned here today, and you will walk always with the goddess. |
| 79897 I shall hold this lesson in my heart until my dying day. |
| 79898 I'll make sure to do that, once I figure out what exactly it was. Did it have something to do with bats? |
| 79899 I'll walk with your goddess, monk. But your walking days are over. Along with your breathing days and your not dying violently at my hand days. |
| 79900 Bats? |
| 79901 Yes, because they don't need light to see... Oh, forget it. |
| 79902 Vile <PRO_RACE>! You take the Twofold gift and spit in the goddess's face! I'll see you dead for the insult! |
| 79903 Traitor! A betrayer to the Trust is in the temple! Help me! |
| 79904 You threaten a member of the Trust? |
| 79905 Forgive me, brother. The Blinding Sun... It awakes the passions. |
| 79906 Didn't I just tell you to be silent? |
| 79907 You noticed. I guess the sun wasn't so blinding after all. |
| 79908 I understand. May the Twofold see you to your destination. |
| 79909 You dare mock he who imparted the Twofold Truth? |
| 79910 Please forgive my impertinence. The experience of the Blinding Sun has left me a little... raw. |
| 79911 I dare mock he who nearly imparted me from my life. |
| 79912 I'll do more than insult him, monk. |
| 79913 Go, then! Leave this place and never return, unbeliever! |
| 79914 Welcome, stranger. Are you ready to face the Bright Moon? |
| 79915 Can you tell me anything about what awaits me in the next room? |
| 79916 I can think of worse things to face. |
| 79917 No. Nope. Uh-uh. Not even a little. |
| 79918 I am ready for anything. |
| 79919 I can. |
| 79920 Excellent. |
| 79921 I'd be most appreciative of any help you could give me. |
| 79922 Tell me, then. |
| 79923 But I won't. |
| 79924 Is there any way I can change your mind? |
| 79925 Of course you won't. |
| 79926 Then you're no longer of any use to me. Die, monk! |
| 79927 Whatever awaits, we must go forward. |
| 79928 Are you afraid, <PRO_SIRMAAM>? Do you tremble at the thought of the truths that are exposed in the bright moon's light? |
| 79929 I have nothing to fear from the truth. |
| 79930 Ha! Such bravado may serve you well in the Bright Moon, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Of course, it might also spell your doom. |
| 79931 I'll remember your words when I face the trials ahead, sister. Thank you for your wisdom. |
| 79932 It's good to have options. |
| 79933 I think I'll pass on finding out which for the moment. |
| 79934 Your disdain has spelled your doom, monk. |
| 79935 Show me what you've got, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 79936 I am attacked! Unbelievers have penetrated the temple! Guards! Guards! |
| 79937 There is nothing I can say that will make the Bright Moon trial any easier, for there is nothing I can say to change your heart. The truth you hold within it will lead you to triumph... or disaster. |
| 79938 I'll bear that in mind as I face the trial, sister. Thank you. |
| 79939 Seriously? That's all you've got for me? I don't know why I keep talking to monks, I really don't. |
| 79940 All I hold in my heart is contempt for you and your wretched cult. Undiluted, murderous contempt. |
| 79941 I know not if there is any truth left in my heart. |
| 79942 You'll find out inside. May the goddess smile twice upon you. |
| 79943 Watch your step, <CHARNAME>. I doubt those who stray from the path go unpunished. |
| 79944 Greetings, Rasaad. |
| 79945 It knows your name? |
| 79946 Oh hey, have you two met before? |
| 79947 What new monstrosity has Darathon inflicted upon us now? |
| 79948 I know all there is to know of you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 79949 I believe you. |
| 79950 Really? Great! Could you tell me where I left the keys to my apartment in Athkatla? |
| 79951 You know nothing of me, monster. |
| 79952 You should not blame Darathon for your own actions. You came here of your own free will. Do not deny it. |
| 79953 Then let us change that. |
| 79954 How? |
| 79955 Walked right into that one, didn't I? |
| 79956 All you need know is that I am <CHARNAME>, and I am your death. |
| 79957 I know you're an arrogant fool, who will now pay the price for that arrogance. |
| 79958 You use wit to mask your fear, <CHARNAME>. But you have nothing to fear from me... if you speak only the truth. |
| 79959 Then I've nothing to fear. |
| 79960 I'm doomed. |
| 79961 There are many truths, monster. |
| 79962 We're off to a good start. But truth alone will not satisfy me. |
| 79963 What do you want from us? |
| 79964 A trifle, nothing more. You have many secrets, Rasaad. I would know one of them. |
| 79965 A secret, that is all? |
| 79966 This is no small thing, Rasaad. |
| 79967 Beware, Rasaad. A secret shared is a secret no longer. |
| 79968 You'll get no secrets from me, monster. I'll die before I reveal myself to you. |
| 79969 If that is your wish. |
| 79970 Wait! If it's a secret you want, I shall give you one. |
| 79971 You don't have to do this, Rasaad. |
| 79972 It better not be about me. |
| 79973 Hah! You have no secrets, Rasaad. It's not in your nature. |
| 79974 Another truth. You need tell me nothing, though silence will cost you your lives. |
| 79975 You know Rasaad better than that, <CHARNAME>. |
| 79976 And yet I must supply it to move forward. I'll give you a secret, monster. |
| 79977 You don't have to do this, Rasaad. |
| 79978 It better not be about me. |
| 79979 Hah! You have no secrets, Rasaad. It's not in your nature. |
| 79980 Rhetorical tricks will not save you from me, <CHARNAME>. I will not be cheated of my secret. |
| 79981 I'll tell you a secret, then. |
| 79982 Yeah, all right, you'll get a secret. Go ahead and tell him a secret, Rasaad. |
| 79983 Forests shall grow and burn and grow again. Generation will birth generation will birth generation, a cycle repeated a thousand, a hundred thousand times. Great civilizations shall rise and fall. The world itself will wither and die. All these things will happen before I surrender one secret to you, monster. |
| 79984 Go on. |
| 79985 My secret is this: Rasaad believes Alorgoth and Collus Darathon are the same man. I do not. |
| 79986 You heard him, Rasaad. Go on. |
| 79987 Here's a secret for you: I am going to kill you. |
| 79988 You too, <CHARNAME>? I thought you of all people would take me at my word. |
| 79989 It matters not what you believe, Rasaad. I am not here for Collus Darathon or Alorgoth or this shadow beast or anything in this temple. I am here because whatever you believe, I believe in you. |
| 79990 I'm sorry, Rasaad. Alorgoth is the founder of the Dark Moon orderâ€â€it makes no sense that he'd conspire against the very religion that he leads. |
| 79991 What does it matter? Am I not here, beside you? |
| 79992 Your bravado intrigues me, <PRO_RACE>. Neither you nor I know the truth of your wordsâ€â€not yet. Let's find out together. Now. |
| 79993 You humble me, <CHARNAME>. I... do not have the words to thank you. |
| 79994 Then say nothing, my friend. We know where we stand. |
| 79995 You are. Do not think I don't appreciate it. |
| 79996 What would you have me tell him, <CHARNAME>? |
| 79997 A secret is a secret, but not all secrets need be world-shattering. Tell it something small and harmless. |
| 79998 I haven't the foggiest idea. But don't lie. |
| 79999 Tell it the truth. If it damns us, so be it. |
| 80000 I must tell him something, <CHARNAME>? But what? |
| 80001 A secret is a secret, but not all secrets need be world-shattering. Tell it something small and harmless. |
| 80002 I haven't the foggiest idea. But don't lie. |
| 80003 Tell it the truth. If it damns us, so be it. |
| 80004 I knew my brother, Gamaz, would come to a bad end. And I always feared it would be at my hand. |
| 80005 I came to this place under false pretenses. I did not seek to join the Trust at first. |
| 80006 This is my secret, then: Once, I was certain that Alorgoth and Collus Darathon were one and the same. I said as much to you, <CHARNAME>, and I believed it at the time. But nowâ€â€I am not so sure. |
| 80007 You followed your heart as you always have, Rasaad. It doesn't matter if Alorgoth and Darathon are the same man or notâ€â€I came here to support you, not kill them. Though I'd be willing to do all three, if it comes to it. |
| 80008 Well, I'm glad you realized that before we strode into the middle of a temple full of enemies. Oh, WAIT... |
| 80009 Damn it, Rasaad. You led me into this pit of vipers on a hunch even you no longer believe. I should kill you where you stand. |
| 80010 You have told me a truth you held tight to your heart, Rasaad yn Bashir. I know what this cost you. The Bright Moon has judged you worthy. Take these bracers as a reward and a reminder that the Twofold Goddess looks favorably upon you. |
| 80011 And now, Rasaad? |
| 80012 Tell it you changed your mind. |
| 80013 Tell it you've turned against the Sun Soul philosophy. |
| 80014 Tell it the truth. |
| 80015 I changed my mind. I would be a part of the Twofold Trust, if it will have me. |
| 80016 You can deceive yourself, but you cannot deceive me, Rasaad. You only seek to join the Trust because you believe it will abet you in avenging your brother. |
| 80017 He seeks nothing but justice for Gamaz's murder. |
| 80018 You have a problem with that? |
| 80019 There is no deception here. He said only that he would join the Trust. He said nothing of why. |
| 80020 I have a problem with it. The creature knows the truth of the matter. I sought to join the Trust solely for selfish reasons. |
| 80021 You have finally faced the Truth. And in doing so, you have passed the test of the Blinding Moon. |
| 80022 What? But... I... I lied! |
| 80023 You said you would be a part of the Twofold Trust, Rasaad. You said nothing of why. It was important you see and acknowledge your own deception, but in any event, you have satisfied the Trial's requirements. Go now, and remember, the goddess walks beside you. |
| 80024 LIAR! Rasaad cares nothing for justice; he seeks revenge. The Bright Moon has judged you and found you wanting, <CHARNAME>. Die! |
| 80025 You dredge the truth from a swamp of lies, <PRO_RACE>, but I cannot deny it is the truth. You have passed the test, Rasaad, though you didn't deserve to. Get out of my sight. You disgust me. |
| 80026 I turned against the Sun Soul philosophy. |
| 80027 You may lie to yourself, Rasaad, but I am not so easily deceived. In your heart, Selûne reigns. |
| 80028 Selûne is part of the Twofold Goddess. He is no different from any number of others who've come to this placeâ€â€there is more than one way to the Twofold's Truth. |
| 80029 And what if she does? Does this somehow disqualify him from membership in your golden Trust? |
| 80030 He said nothing of his feelings for Selûne, merely that he has turned against the Sun Soul philosophy. If you know what he has done these past weeksâ€â€the lies he's told, the battles he's foughtâ€â€you cannot deny that this is so. |
| 80031 I do not want to join the Trust. |
| 80032 You have finally faced the Truth. And in doing so, you have passed the test of the Blinding Moon. |
| 80033 What? But I... I lied... |
| 80034 You said you would be a part of the Twofold Trust, Rasaad. You said nothing of whether it was what you truly desire. It is good that you saw and acknowledged your own deception, but doing so was not part of the trial. Go now, but beware: Your deception is known to those outside this chamber. You've a difficult path before you. |
| 80035 The truth? The truth is this: I no longer know where my heart lies. What was once clear to me is now clouded and uncertain. I am lost. |
| 80036 Perhaps you will find your way within the Twofold Trust. |
| 80037 You have told me a truth you held tight to your heart, <CHARNAME>. I know what this cost you. The Bright Moon has judged you worthy. Go now, but remember always: The Twofold Goddess looks favorably upon you. |
| 80038 The Bright Moon has left me enlightened. I thank you. |
| 80039 Great. That's just... great. |
| 80040 She may change her mind after I slay you, monster. |
| 80041 <CHARNAME>, no! What have you done? |
| 80042 They've doomed you to death, Son of Selûne! |

| 80044 Greetings, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80045 You know my name? |
| 80046 Have we met before? |
| 80047 What new monstrosity has Darathon inflicted upon me now? |
| 80048 I know all there is to know of you. |
| 80049 I believe you. |
| 80050 Really? Great! Could you tell me where I left the keys to my apartment in Athkatla? |
| 80051 You know nothing of me, monster. |
| 80052 You should not blame Darathon for your own actions, <CHARNAME>. You came here of your own free will. Do not deny it. |
| 80053 Then let us change that. |
| 80054 How? |
| 80055 Walked right into that one, didn't I? |
| 80056 All you need know is that I am <CHARNAME>, and I am your death. |
| 80057 I know you're an arrogant fool and will now pay the price for that arrogance. |
| 80058 You use wit to mask your fear, <CHARNAME>. But you have nothing to fear from me... if you speak only the truth. |
| 80059 Then I've nothing to fear. |
| 80060 I'm doomed. |
| 80061 There are many truths, monster. |
| 80062 We are off to a good start. But truth alone will not satisfy me. You have many secrets, <CHARNAME>. I would know one of them. |
| 80063 A secret? That's all you want of me? |
| 80064 A secret shared is a secret no longer. |
| 80065 You'll get no secrets from me, monster. I'll die before I reveal myself to you. |
| 80066 You have many secrets, <CHARNAME>. I would know one of them. |
| 80067 A secret? That's what you want? |
| 80068 A secret shared is a secret no longer. |
| 80069 You'll get no secrets from me, monster. I'll die before I reveal myself to you. |
| 80070 It is. |
| 80071 Then I guess I'll tell you a secret. |
| 80072 Yeah, I'll just be moving along now. Do you know where I can find the Trial of Pain? |
| 80073 Forests shall grow and burn and grow again. Generation will birth generation will birth generation, a cycle repeated a thousand, a hundred thousand times. Great civilizations shall rise and fall. The world itself will wither and die. All these things will happen before I surrender one secret to you, monster. |
| 80074 If that is your wish. |
| 80075 You try to steal my secret? Then die! |
| 80076 Rhetorical tricks will not save you from me, <CHARNAME>. I will not be cheated of my secret. |
| 80077 I'll tell you a secret, then. |
| 80078 I think I'll just be going now. |
| 80079 Forests shall grow and burn and grow again. Generation will birth generation will birth generation, a cycle repeated a thousand, a hundred thousand times. Great civilizations shall rise and fall. The world itself will wither and die. All these things will happen before I surrender one secret to you, monster. |
| 80080 Go on. |
| 80081 Here's my secret: I am a <PRO_SONDAUGHTER> of Bhaal. I know in my heart my fate is not my own, but still I strive to forge my own path. My greatest fear is that all my efforts will come to naught. |
| 80082 My secret is this: I know your weakness, monster. I could kill you in the blink of an eye. |
| 80083 When I was a child, I stole money from my mentor Gorion's purse and blamed it on Imoen. |
| 80084 I don't know what I'm doing. |
| 80085 Here's a secret for you: I am going to kill you. |
| 80086 You're lying, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80087 Am I? |
| 80088 If you think so, try and stop me from leaving this place. I dare you. |
| 80089 Try me and find out. |
| 80090 Your bravado intrigues me, <PRO_RACE>. Neither you nor I know the truth of your wordsâ€â€not yet. Let's find out together. Now. |
| 80091 You twist the spirit of the test beyond recognition and defy its noble purpose. You have passed, though in doing so you have hardly proved yourself worthy of the honor you seek. Go from this place, now. Get out of my sight. You disgust me. |
| 80092 You try to steal my secret with vague insinuations and hollow threats? You have failed the test, <CHARNAME>, and for that you will die. |
| 80093 I knew it! Oh, you are such a jerk, <CHARNAME>! |
| 80094 A little secret, but a secret nonetheless. Congratulations, <CHARNAME>, you have been judged in the light of the Bright Moon and found worthy. |
| 80095 Worthy of being a total jerk. |
| 80096 Leave this place now, and know the goddess smiles twice upon you. |
| 80097 Tell me more. |
| 80098 I have been fortunate to have many friends in my timeâ€â€some have followed me here. They see something in me I do notâ€â€some quality of leadership. I do not deserve their loyalty. All too often, those who are close to me die in my name. I would rather they scorn or shun me, but I'm too weak to turn them away, though I know they'd do better without me. |
| 80099 I have nothing more to tell. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. That's what I offer your Bright Moon, and it can choke on it if it's not enough. |
| 80100 No. I've given you a secret; I'll give you no more. |
| 80101 You tell me half a secret, no more. It is not enough. You have failed the test. Begone. |
| 80102 Perhaps you will find your way within the Twofold Trust. |
| 80103 You have told me a truth you held tight to your heart, <CHARNAME>. I know what this cost you. The Bright Moon has judged you worthy. Go now, but remember always: The Twofold Goddess looks favorably upon you. |
| 80104 The Bright Moon has left me enlightened. I thank you. |
| 80105 Great. That's just... great. |
| 80106 She may change her mind after I slay you, monster. |
| 80107 You can ask her yourself, foolish <PRO_RACE>! |
| 80108 Congratulations, <CHARNAME>. You have proven yourself in the light of the Bright Moon. |
| 80109 The light exposed my secrets and revealed the Truth. A Twofold blessing. |
| 80110 Well, hooray for me. |
| 80111 All that's been proven is your false goddess's failings. |
| 80112 You speak ill of the Twofold? |
| 80113 No, never. Forgive meâ€â€the Light of the Bright Moon has left me disoriented. I am not myself. |
| 80114 Who, me? I don't think so. Well, gotta go. |
| 80115 I'll do more than just speak ill of your sham deity, monk! Die! |
| 80116 It can do that. Take some time to reflect upon what you learned in the light. You'll feel better soon. |
| 80117 Show me what you've got! |
| 80118 I am attacked! Unbelievers have penetrated the temple! Guards! Guards! |
| 80119 Congratulations, Rasaad. You have proven your worth in the light of the Bright Moon. |
| 80120 I am pleased to have taken another step in my quest to join the Twofold Trust. |
| 80121 Don't feel too bad, <CHARNAME>. Better people than you have tried to deceive that thing. All have failed. If it makes you feel better, most were killed. |
| 80122 It's a blow, I'll admit, but I'll get over my failure in time. |
| 80123 It does, actually. |
| 80124 Killing you will make me feel substantially better. |
| 80125 Show me what you've got! |
| 80126 I am attacked! Unbelievers have penetrated the temple! Guards! Guards! |
| 80127 Greetings, traveler on the path of light and darkness. |
| 80128 And a good day to you, milady. What trial awaits us beyond this door? |
| 80129 Is that the path I'm on? I knew I shouldn't have taken directions from a gnome. |
| 80130 I've no time for pleasantries, crone. What is the next trial? |
| 80131 Hey! I object to that uncalled-for attack. That's just like you, smearing an entire people with a single brush. Now, the largest paintbrush I ever saw was wielded by my Aunt Jenna. She painted her entire house in three minutes flat, and gave a fresh coat to the two on either side of it to boot. Her neighbors were less than thrilled. It might not have been so bad if she hadn't covered the windows, doors, lawn, and walks. Or chosen a color other than mauve. |
| 80132 'Tis the Room of Penance. |
| 80133 And what will I face in the room of penance? |
| 80134 'Tis another obstacle on the path to joining the Trust. Best to get this over with. |
| 80135 And with that, I departed. |
| 80136 Penance implies contrition. I've nothing to atone for. |
| 80137 We've all something to atone for, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. The confessor will not be satisfied without an admission of sin. Take heart, though. |
| 80138 Beyond this door lies the Room of Penance. |
| 80139 Can you tell me anything about it? |
| 80140 Sounds like fun. I'll not keep whatever lurks within waiting. |
| 80141 The Room of Penance, you say? Well, it's been nice talking to you. |
| 80142 The Trust would have me pay a penalty? For what? |
| 80143 The process here is simple enough. To become part of the Trust, the petitioner must prove their loyalty. |
| 80144 How? |
| 80145 So who do I have to kill? I'm joking. I think. I won't have to kill someone to prove my loyalty, will I? |
| 80146 Prove your loyalty now, old woman. Die for your false goddess! |
| 80147 There is nothing purely good or evil in the Twofold Goddess's eyes. There is only the Truth, and that is what you will be asked to reveal. |
| 80148 Surely the goddess knows the Truth? |
| 80149 And if I don't? |
| 80150 So when I kill you in a few seconds, your goddess will not see that as purely evil? I'd suggest you seek a better quality of deity, but unfortunately, you've no time left to find one. |
| 80151 Alorgoth has twisted his followers' minds. They no longer know what truth is. |
| 80152 That would be... inadvisable. |
| 80153 I understand. |
| 80154 And that answer is... unhelpful. I'll be going now. |
| 80155 And if I slay you where you sit? Would that also be "inadvisable"? |
| 80156 The goddess knows all, but you'll not be talking to the goddessâ€â€just one of her servants. He will ask you to reveal a wrongdoing. |
| 80157 And if I've done nothing wrong? |
| 80158 Oh yeah? Whose? |
| 80159 Then I'd best do something worthy of confessing. Prepare to die, crone. |
| 80160 The wrongdoing need not be yours. |
| 80161 Ah. I see. |
| 80162 That's convenient. And a tad unsettling. |
| 80163 What of the penance? |
| 80164 They would have us betray those we would call brothers. |
| 80165 After the confession, you will be assigned an act of penance. |
| 80166 Why should I pay penance if I've done nothing wrong? |
| 80167 That sounds like the exact opposite of fun. So I'll be taking my leave of you now. |
| 80168 And if I refuse to accept it? |
| 80169 Then you will have failed the test. |
| 80170 Then I guess I'd best accept my confessor's judgment. |
| 80171 Well, that's not so bad. |
| 80172 Failing a meaningless test? I'll not lose sleep over that. |
| 80173 And you will be killed. |
| 80174 Hm. Best for everyone then if I don't fail the test. |
| 80175 A suggestion, for future discussions? Next time, lead with the "being killed" part. Far more dramatic that way. |
| 80176 Perhaps I will, but I'll see you dead first, witch! |
| 80177 It is a philosophical trapâ€â€by exposing another's failing, we dishonor ourselves and must therefore pay a price. |
| 80178 If you've a problem with the arrangement, take it up with your brother-confessor. |
| 80179 Perhaps I'll do that. |
| 80180 I think I'd rather take it up with... someone else. Someone who's not in something called the Room of Penance. |
| 80181 I'd rather take it up with Collus Darathon. |
| 80182 Only those who pass the tests and join the Trust may speak with Collus. |
| 80183 I'd best be about this, then. |
| 80184 Wellll... I don't need to talk with him THAT badly... |
| 80185 We'll see, old woman. We'll see. |
| 80186 I said nothing of speaking with him. |
| 80187 No, <CHARNAME>. We can't turn back now. The path to Darathon leads through the Chamber of Penance. |
| 80188 Explain yourself, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 80189 I think I willâ€â€to my confessor. |
| 80190 I think I'll pass on that for the moment. Farewell. |
| 80191 I will kill Collus Darathon. Is that explanation enough for you, you addled old hag? |
| 80192 Will you join the Twofold Trust, then? Will you enter the Room of Penance? |
| 80193 I will. |
| 80194 Maybe later. Much, much later. |
| 80195 I'll decide after I've finished killing you. |
| 80196 O Twofold Goddess, guide my hand! Help me smite this unbeliever! |
| 80197 I give my life gladly for my savior, Collus! |
| 80198 ASSASSINS! Cutthroats are loose in the temple! Guards, to me! |
| 80199 ...more than his share of our morning brassla, and convinced me to not tell anyone. |
| 80200 Pitiful at best! You must seek out weakness in another and wipe it outâ€â€though I doubt you possess the conviction. |
| 80201 What is your name? What sin have you to tell me today? |
| 80202 Go ahead, Rasaad. Tell him a sin. |
| 80203 This sin, does it have to be his? |
| 80204 My sin is murder. Specifically, yours. |
| 80205 <CHARNAME>, no! |
| 80206 Die twice! |
| 80207 Unbelievers! There are unbelievers in the temple! Slay them, now! |
| 80208 The goddess smiles twice on those who expose her enemies. |
| 80209 You would have me betray those I would call my brothers and sisters. |
| 80210 Only those who have betrayed the Trust. |
| 80211 Go ahead, Rasaad. |
| 80212 They've got it coming, Rasaad. Let 'em have it. |
| 80213 This talking is a waste of time, and this confessor a waste of life. I'll end both now. |
| 80214 I cannot slur those I would stand beside. |
| 80215 Then you must tell him of your own sin against the Twofold. |
| 80216 Sure you can. You can do anything you put your mind to. |
| 80217 Damn it, Rasaad! Your honor will be the death of you. |
| 80218 I know you're joking, <CHARNAME>, but this is not a laughing matter. I'll not begin my time with the Trust with an act of treachery. |
| 80219 My name is Rasaad yn Bashir. I did not come here to join the Trust. I am here to slay the man you know as Collus Darathon. |
| 80220 Not precisely the sin I had in mind, Rasaad... |
| 80221 He doesn't mean that. Not really. |
| 80222 Oh, you damned fool... |
| 80223 He sounded pretty certain to me. |
| 80224 You need to understand: He believes Collus Darathon is actually Alorgoth. |
| 80225 Nonsense! He's sick, delirious, touched in the head. Why else would he want to join your cul I mean, he says things he doesn't mean. |
| 80226 Unfortunately, he is. |
| 80227 Nonsense. I spent more than thirty years in service to Shar. I know both Alorgoth and Collus. What you suggest is unthinkable. |
| 80228 It is, nevertheless, what he believes. When he meets Collus, he will realize the truth, and then he will prove a most valuable asset to your budding religion. |
| 80229 Technically, it's not. Rasaad here thinks it, so, yeah. But let's not get hung up on semantics. |
| 80230 I agree. But the monk is utterly intractable on the matter, and I'm afraid I'm committed to support him. So you and all who would stand in our way will have to die. |
| 80231 I'll take you with me! |
| 80232 Is this true, Bashir? |
| 80233 Tell him, Rasaad. Tell him the truth. |
| 80234 Of course it is. Tell him, Rasaad. |
| 80235 Of course it's not true, you idiot. |
| 80236 I came here to kill Alorgoth. |
| 80237 And when you realize the truth, that he and Collus are not the same man? Will you then be a loyal servant of the Trust? |
| 80238 I... would know the Twofold Truth. If it proves itself a worthy philosophy, then yes, I would join the Trust. |
| 80239 He seeks the Twofold, as surely as any man ever has. Would you deny him the opportunity to know her Truth? |
| 80240 There. Happy now? |
| 80241 The funny thing is, Rasaad here is a man of honorâ€â€he'll actually do what he claims. A shame you'll not live to see it, confessor. |
| 80242 I would not turn away any who would take the Twofold Truth into their heart. But before you pass the test, Rasaad, you must perform an act of penance. |
| 80243 I am ready. |
| 80244 Those who would serve the Trust must be ever prepared to face those who would deny the Twofold Truth. It is no place for the weak. Go forth from this room, seek out weakness in another, and eradicate it in the goddess's name. |
| 80245 I shall. Thank you, confessor. |
| 80246 I'm sorry. I cannot risk the safety of the Trust. |
| 80247 ...more than his share of our morning brassla, and convinced me to not tell anyone. |
| 80248 Pitiful at best! You must seek out a new secret and bring it into the lightâ€â€though I doubt you possess the conviction. |
| 80249 What is your name? What sin have you to tell me today? |
| 80250 I have sinned against the Twofold. |
| 80251 I am <CHARNAME>. Now this sin you speak ofâ€â€must it be mine? |
| 80252 My sin is murder. Specifically, yours. |
| 80253 Die twice! |
| 80254 Unbelievers! There are unbelievers in the temple! Slay them, now! |
| 80255 The goddess smiles twice on those who expose her enemies. |
| 80256 I'm delighted to hear it. |
| 80257 Both within and without the temple? |
| 80258 Excellent. |
| 80259 You know of someone who has sinned against her? |
| 80260 I do. The man you've got guarding the bridge to the temple is untrustworthyâ€â€he let me pass for a small bribe. |
| 80261 Yes. There are several monks tied to stakes outside the temple. They were ordered to speak to no oneâ€â€but they spoke to me. |
| 80262 There is a man lurking in the brush east of the temple. He is a worshipper of Shar. His presence bodes ill for the Twofold. |
| 80263 The woman in the room outside promised to make my life easier if I gave her 20 gold pieces. |
| 80264 Collus Darathon. |
| 80265 There is a monk I saw outside by the name of Coren. She harasses other members of the Trust, trying to drive a wedge between them and the goddess. |
| 80266 A former monk of the Sun Soul order, Lara by name, has not truly renounced Selûne. |
| 80267 Indeed. |
| 80268 Go on. |
| 80269 I did not come here to join the Trust. |
| 80270 I believe the Trust embraces heresy and must be destroyed. |
| 80271 I thought the Trust had a place for me. I see now that I was wrong. The path of the Twofold Truth is one I've no desire to walk, not any longer. |
| 80272 Then why did you come to this place? |
| 80273 For a friend, but he's no longer with me. |
| 80274 I came for the drinks, but I stayed for the atmosphere. |
| 80275 To slay Collus Darathon. |
| 80276 I really don't recall. |
| 80277 Then leave. Leave now before I summon the guards. |
| 80278 Very well. |
| 80279 Well, I never. I'll be telling the Twofold tourism director about your impertinence, see if I don't! |
| 80280 Summon them, confessor. They'll be far too late to save you. |
| 80281 You what? |
| 80282 You have done well to tell me this, <CHARNAME>. And now I must prescribe you an act of penance. Go forth, uncover a secret, and bring it into the light. Will you do this? |
| 80283 I will. |
| 80284 I'll try. |
| 80285 Absolutely. But first, I believe I'll uncover your intestines and bring them into the light. |
| 80286 Very good. You may leave now. |
| 80287 Do not try: Succeed. The Twofold Trust has no use for the weak. |
| 80288 This is neither the time nor the place for jests, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80289 Forgive me, Confessor. I have sinned against the Twofold. I came here to slay Collus Darathon. |
| 80290 You are right, Confessor. I'll come back later, then. |
| 80291 Then it's time you died, monk. |
| 80292 You'll stay where you are and tell me what I wish to know. |
| 80293 If you insist. |
| 80294 I don't think so. |
| 80295 Then you have failed the test! Begone from this place! |
| 80296 As you wish, Confessor. |
| 80297 Didn't you just insist I had to stay where I was and tell you You know what, never mind. Perhaps we'll meet again. Until then, farewell. |
| 80298 All right. I'll leave as soon as I've finished killing you. |
| 80299 Why are you here? |
| 80300 To slay Collus Darathon. |
| 80301 I really don't recall. |
| 80302 I'm here to kill my would-be confessor. |
| 80303 I have no reason to be here. Not anymore. |
| 80304 What? Why didn't you alert someone sooner? |
| 80305 I was so excited by the prospect of becoming one of the Trust... I guess it just slipped my mind. |
| 80306 I thought the information might have value, and I was rightâ€â€it has helped me pass this test, has it not? |
| 80307 The question you ought to ask is why have I deigned to inform you now? |
| 80308 It has. As an act of penance, go forth, find a secret, and expose it to the light. |
| 80309 Hey, where's he going? I gotta take the test of penance... |
| 80310 Guards! Guards! Get in here and kill this fool! |
| 80311 Is this a joke, <PRO_SIRMAAM>? If so, I find nothing amusing in it. |
| 80312 I wish I were joking. The man you know as Collus Darathon is actually Alorgoth. |
| 80313 A joke, yes. That's what it is. A joke. |
| 80314 Nor should you. Collus Darathon is Alorgoth. You have been deceived. |
| 80315 You have failed the test, <CHARNAME>! Begone from this place and never return. |
| 80316 As you wish, Confessor. |
| 80317 Gladly. |
| 80318 We'll both leave this place, Confessor. But only one of us will leave it in little, bloody pieces. |
| 80319 What nonsense is this? I spent more than thirty years in service to Shar. I know both Alorgoth and Collus. What you suggest is unthinkable. |
| 80320 It is, nevertheless, the truth. |
| 80321 You know what? You're right. I don't know what I was thinking. So I'll just be going now? |
| 80322 And yet I think it. It's why you and all who would stand in my way will have to die. |
| 80323 Guards! Someone has infiltrated the temple! Kill them! |
| 80324 I'll take you with me! |
| 80325 THE BATTLE IS LOST, HERETICS! LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS AND THROW YOURSELVES ON THE MERCY OF SHAR! |
| 80326 No! This cannot be! |
| 80327 What madness is this? |
| 80328 Who is that? |
| 80329 Meet the new lunacy, same as the old lunacy. |
| 80330 Still your wagging tongue, monk! I would know who addresses us. |
| 80331 Collus! Why have you turned against us? |
| 80332 That is not Collus Darathon. |
| 80333 It's Collus Darathon. |
| 80334 It's Alorgoth! |
| 80335 Are you certain? |
| 80336 That's Alorgoth? I somehow thought he'd be taller. |
| 80337 Finally. Let's kill him. |
| 80338 HEED MY WORDS, HERETICS! COLLUS DARATHON COMMANDS YOU! |
| 80339 You may have fooled these others, Alorgothâ€â€but I know the truth! Face me now, coward! |
| 80340 Is that your voice I hear, Rasaad yn Bashir? |
| 80341 You know it is, Alorgoth! |
| 80342 Heh. You are too clever by half, Bashir. Far too clever to live. |
| 80343 No! NO! |
| 80344 Alorgoth! |
| 80345 Alorgoth is here! Your moment is finally at hand, Rasaad! |
| 80346 Wait, Rasaad was right? Darathon really is Alorgoth? |
| 80347 So Darathon is Alorgoth? Excellent. Let's kill him. |
| 80348 Please, no, this cannot be happening... O Twofold Goddess, please, protect your humble servants... |
| 80349 You doubted me, <CHARNAME>? |
| 80350 I never doubted you, Rasaad. Now is the moment you've been waiting forâ€â€avenge your brother! |
| 80351 Not all of you. Just, you know... your mind. |
| 80352 Alorgoth being Darathon! It's ridiculous! Madness! |
| 80353 I have many names, many faces, many secrets. Consider yourself lucky, Rasaad. You have wrested a truth from me. |
| 80354 What was the point of this charade, Alorgoth? What did you gain by turning your own followers against Shar? |
| 80355 My followers? My followers are strong and steadfast in their faith. The Order of the Dark Moon has no place for those who would turn to heresy. |
| 80356 What kind of villain seeks to corrupt his own followers? |
| 80357 With a leader as lovably huggable as you, I can't imagine why they'd want to turn from the Dark Moon. |
| 80358 He used the Twofold Trust to lure those who would turn against him. Instead of betraying Shar, they betrayed themselves... Ingenious. |
| 80359 One who only holds darkness in his heart. |
| 80360 Hear me now, disciples of the Twofold Truth! The man you called Darathon stands revealed as a deceiver who plotted your destruction! But in his deceit, he has revealed a greater truthâ€â€a Twofold Truth worth living, worth dying, worth fighting for! Join me now, friends! We may die this day, but we'll not die alone for no good cause! |
| 80361 Strike now, in the Twofold's name! |
| 80362 Strike now, in the name of the goddess of your choosing! |
| 80363 Strike now, and you will become legend! |
| 80364 For the Twofold! |
| 80365 Fools! There is no Twofold Goddess! There is only Shar, the one true goddess of the night! Slay them! |
| 80366 Slay the heretics! KILL THEM ALL! |
| 80367 I'm glad you think so. Now, in the name of Shar, the one true goddess of the nightâ€â€die! |
| 80368 Only fools reject the shadow queen's embrace! Fools... and corpses. Now die, for the one true goddess of the night! |
| 80369 THE BATTLE IS LOST, HERETICS! LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS AND THROW YOURSELVES ON THE MERCY OF SHAR! |
| 80370 Collus? Butâ€â€how is this possible? |
| 80371 That's not Collus, master. |
| 80372 ALORGOTH! I KNOW THAT'S YOU! FACE ME NOW, COWARD! |
| 80373 Is that your voice I hear, Rasaad yn Bashir? |
| 80374 You know it is, fiend. |
| 80375 Heh. You are too clever by half, Bashir. Far too clever to live. |
| 80376 No! No, it cannot be! |
| 80377 I have many names, many faces, many secrets. Consider yourself lucky, Rasaad. You have wrested a truth from me. |
| 80378 What was the point of this charade, Alorgoth? What did you gain by turning your own followers against Shar? |
| 80379 My followers? My followers are strong and steadfast in their faith. The Order of the Dark Moon has no place for those who would turn to heresy. |
| 80380 What kind of villain seeks to corrupt his own followers? |
| 80381 With a leader as lovably huggable as you, I can't imagine why they'd want to turn from the Dark Moon. |
| 80382 He used the Twofold Trust to lure those who would turn against him. Instead of betraying Shar, they betrayed themselves... Ingenious. |
| 80383 One who holds only darkness in his heart! |
| 80384 That darkness may take us all this day... but not without a struggle! To me, my Trust! |
| 80385 Strike now, in the Twofold's name! |
| 80386 Strike now, in the name of the goddess of your choosing! |
| 80387 Strike now, and you will become legend! |
| 80388 For the Twofold! |
| 80389 Fools! There is no Twofold Goddess! There is only Shar, the one true goddess of the night! Slay them! |
| 80390 Slay the heretics! KILL THEM ALL! |
| 80391 I'm glad you think so. Now, in the name of Shar, the one true goddess of the nightâ€â€die! |
| 80392 Selûne help us... |
| 80393 Look thereâ€â€is that Collus Darathon standing under Shar's banner? |
| 80394 You better hope she does, because I don't think anyone else will. |
| 80395 You have my help, Rasaad. You need no other's. |
| 80396 Not Darathon. Alorgoth. |
| 80397 Then the time has come for you to avenge your brother. |
| 80398 Are you sure they're the same person? |
| 80399 Excellent. Let's kill him. |
| 80400 ALORGOTH! I KNOW THAT'S YOU HIDING WITHIN THE SKIN OF COLLUS DARATHON! FACE ME NOW, COWARD! |
| 80401 Is that your voice I hear, Rasaad yn Bashir? |
| 80402 You know it is, fiend. |
| 80403 I have many names, many faces, many secrets. Consider yourself lucky, Rasaad. You have wrested a truth from me. |
| 80404 FOLLOWERS OF THE TWOFOLD TRUST! REJOICE! COLLUS DARATHON IS HERE! YOUR MASTER HAS RETURNED! |
| 80405 Why do you stand with the Sharrans, Darathon? |
| 80406 Yay! Darathon is back! I don't know why he's standing under the banner of Shar, but I'm sure everything will be revealed in due course! |
| 80407 There is no rejoicing in the place we've sent the heretics, Darathon! |
| 80408 What was the point of this charade, Alorgoth? What did you gain by turning your own followers against Shar? |
| 80409 My followers? My followers are strong and steadfast in their faith. The Order of the Dark Moon has no place for those who would turn to heresy. |
| 80410 What manner of villain seeks to corrupt his own followers? |
| 80411 With a leader as lovably huggable as you, I can't imagine why they'd want to turn from the Dark Moon. |
| 80412 He used the Twofold Trust to lure those who would turn against him. Instead of betraying Shar, they betrayed themselves... Ingenious. |
| 80413 One who holds only darkness in his heart. |
| 80414 Because he's not Darathon. |
| 80415 Is that your voice I hear, Rasaad yn Bashir? |
| 80416 You know it is, Alorgoth! |
| 80417 Alorgoth? Where is Alorgoth? I am Collus Darathon! |
| 80418 You may have fooled the others, Alorgoth, but I know the truth. Cast your mask aside and face me now, coward! |
| 80419 Very well! |
| 80420 Darathon really was Alorgoth? You're kidding me. |
| 80421 So Darathon actually was Alorgoth? Excellent. Let's kill him. |
| 80422 This is no joke, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80423 Consider yourself lucky, Rasaad. You have wrested a truth from me. |
| 80424 What was the point of this charade, Alorgoth? What did you gain by turning your own followers against Shar? |
| 80425 My followers? My followers are strong and steadfast in their faith. The Order of the Dark Moon has no place for those who would turn to heresy. |
| 80426 What kind of villain seeks to corrupt his own followers? |
| 80427 With a leader as lovably huggable as you, I can't imagine why they'd want to turn from the Dark Moon. |
| 80428 He used the Twofold Trust to lure those who would turn against him. Instead of betraying Shar, they betrayed themselves... Ingenious. |
| 80429 One who holds only darkness in his heart! |
| 80430 Slay the heretics! KILL THEM ALL! |
| 80431 I'm glad you think so. But I must admit you've taken the wind from my sails somewhat. It was a major effort, luring my enemies into view, and you kill them all before I can arrange to have them all killed. Ah well... I'll take what solace I can in watching you die in the heretics' place. Kill them. |
| 80432 FOLLOWERS OF THE TWOFOLD TRUST! REJOICE! COLLUS DARATHON IS HERE! YOUR MASTER HAS RETURNED! |
| 80433 Why do you stand with the Sharrans, Darathon? |
| 80434 This can't be good. |
| 80435 Yay! Darathon is back! I don't know why he's standing under the banner of Shar, but I'm sure everything will be revealed in due course! |
| 80436 There is no rejoicing in the place we've sent the heretics, Darathon! |
| 80437 You say my followers are dead? |
| 80438 You stand beneath Shar's banner, but if you refer to the Twofold Trust, then yes, they are dead. |
| 80439 Yeah. Sorry about that. |
| 80440 Every last one of them. |
| 80441 Who are you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>? Where are my followers? |
| 80442 You mean the Twofold Trust? They could not be your followers; you stand beneath the banner of Shar. |
| 80443 They stand all around you, from the look of it. |
| 80444 They're dead, but don't be sadâ€â€I'll send you to join them. |
| 80445 Most amusing. I meant, where are the Twofold Heretics? |
| 80446 Answer my question. |
| 80447 They are dead. |
| 80448 After you answer mine: What was the point of all this? You clearly follow Sharâ€â€why all this Twofold nonsense? |
| 80449 No. I am no Twofold sheep, Darathon. You hold no sway over me. |
| 80450 Kill them! |
| 80451 Kill them! |
| 80452 Well. I must admit you've taken the wind from my sails somewhat. It was a major effort, luring my enemies into view, and then you go and kill them all before I can arrange to have them all slain. Ah well... I'll take what solace I can in watching you die in their place. Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 80453 Well. I must admit you've taken the wind from my sails somewhat. It was a major effort, luring my enemies into view, and then you go and kill them all before I can arrange to have them all slain. Ah well... I'll take what solace I can in watching you die in their place. Kill them! |
| 80454 Who are you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>? Where are the rest of the Twofold Heretics? |
| 80455 My name is <CHARNAME>. The heretics are dead. |
| 80456 They're all dead, and I'll thank you not to include me in their number. |
| 80457 I slew them. |
| 80458 You did not come here in pursuit of the "Twofold Truth"? |
| 80459 I knew better than to fall for your deception. |
| 80460 I came here on a whim. Didn't like it. Killed everyone. Now I'm leaving. |
| 80461 I have what I came for. Now I shall leave. |
| 80462 You have saved me the trouble of dispatching these traitors myself, <PRO_SIRMAAM>! Go now, with my thanks. |
| 80463 Fare thee well, Collus Darathon. |
| 80464 Before I go, I've got one question. What was the point of all this? I mean, you're clearly with the Dark Moon orderâ€â€why indulge in all the Twofold nonsense? |
| 80465 No. I like it here. I think I'll stay. |
| 80466 That is no concern of yours. Go now before I change my mind about killing you. |
| 80467 Very well. |
| 80468 You don't have to tell me twice. Well, you did tell me twice. But you won't have to do it a third time! I'm going now. |
| 80469 I think I'll stay just a while longer. Long enough to see you die! |
| 80470 Impetuous fool! Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 80471 We are triumphant! |
| 80472 No! Alorgoth yet lives! |
| 80473 So do we, my friend. Let's count our blessings where we may. |
| 80474 It won't last, Rasaad. We'll make sure of it, I promise you. |
| 80475 Calm yourself, Rasaad. This is but a temporary setback. |
| 80476 Whose blessing would that be, <CHARNAME>? Selûne's? Shar's? The Twofold Goddess's? |
| 80477 Selûne's, of course. You would have no other's, I know. |
| 80478 When it comes to blessings, I try not to be so picky. Let's go. |
| 80479 Take your pick. In the end, one's worth the same as another. |
| 80480 I wish I were as certain of that as you seem to be, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80481 You will be, in time. |
| 80482 Yes, well. "Seem" may be the key word there. |
| 80483 You harbor doubts? |
| 80484 Do you believe I hold Selûne in my heart, <CHARNAME>? The things I've done of late... broken my vows, turned against my friends... Once, I was sure of where I stood. No longer. |
| 80485 I believe Selûne smiles on those who are true, Rasaad. And I know none more true than you. |
| 80486 Not knowing where you stand isn't necessarily a bad thing. It means you need to keep your eyes on the ground and watch your step. People who don't know where they stand are far less likely to trip. |
| 80487 Save your self-pity for another day, Rasaad. While Alorgoth lives, you've more important things to consider than your relationship with the Moonmaiden. |
| 80488 Your words comfort me, <CHARNAME>, and few things do these days. I thank you for that. |
| 80489 I'm ashamed to admit I do. I have sacrificed everything, and what have I to show for it? My hands are empty and my heart heavy with despair. |
| 80490 A temporary setback, <CHARNAME>? For you, perhaps. I have sacrificed everything I cherished, and what have I to show for it? Nothing! |
| 80491 That need not be so, Rasaad. |
| 80492 Your friend is right. |
| 80493 Something to consider another time. I'd be away from this ill-starred place. |
| 80494 What have you to offer him, monk? |
| 80495 A home. Perhaps... a purpose. |
| 80496 The Twofold Truth has been revealed for the falsehood it is. But clearly the established sects of Shar and Selûne are not offering their followers something they need. How else could the Trust have drawn so many to it in so short a time? |
| 80497 He's right, Rasaad. |
| 80498 What are you suggesting? |
| 80499 Forget the Selûnites' leaders. Would she herself turn away those who are true to her in their heart? |
| 80500 Alorgoth built the Trust intending to destroy it. I'll not give him the satisfaction. We will rebuild. A better, stronger Trust will emerge. |
| 80501 You should consider joining him, Rasaad. |
| 80502 What are you saying? |
| 80503 You know the Sun Soul order has no place for you now. Its restraints serve many wellâ€â€but they bind you, make you weaker. That is why you turned to deceit rather than your fellow monks when seeking your vengeance. |
| 80504 Nothing of any import, I'm sure. Feel free to ignore me. |
| 80505 The Trust is weakened, but not broken. With the right man in charge, it could become a force to be reckoned with. |
| 80506 You believe I should lead the Trust? |
| 80507 I fear you are right. |
| 80508 There's nothing there to fear, Rasaad. The Twofold Trust offers you a new, less restrictive choice. |
| 80509 Then take the opportunity being offered. Join the Twofold Trust. Forge it into a weapon that will stab Alorgoth in his black heart. |
| 80510 Fear? Fear won't help you avenge your brother. An order of warrior monks under your command is another matter entirely. |
| 80511 You have never led me wrong, <CHARNAME>. I will take your advice. |
| 80512 You say I should join the Trust? |
| 80513 Listen to your heart, Rasaad. What does it say? |
| 80514 He's right, Rasaad. The restraints of the Selûnites held you back, but your heart has ever been with the goddess. |
| 80515 I don't say you should join the Trust, Rasaad. I say you should lead it. |
| 80516 In truth, <CHARNAME>, I no longer know my own heart. |
| 80517 Then stay with me for now. Your path will become clear in time, I'm sure of it. |
| 80518 You'll figure it out. You just need some time to rest. |
| 80519 Then we must part for now. When you see things clearly again, I'll be waiting. |
| 80520 These are serious matters, <CHARNAME>. Do not make light of them. |
| 80521 I'm sorry, my friend. I shouldn't have teased you. This can't be an easy decision. |
| 80522 You see? You're made for the monk's life. And the Sun Soul order will never accept you again, not after what you pulled. |
| 80523 There was a kernel of truth in my jest. Why settle for a single goddess when you can answer the call of two? |
| 80524 It is not. But I believe I have made it. |
| 80525 You have the truth of it. Perhaps there is something in what you say. I do long for a return to the discipline of the monk's existence. Yes. I shall stay here, at least for a time. Help rebuild a new order, one worthy of Selûne's grace. And then, when the time is right... Alorgoth is still out there... |
| 80526 You have always guided me well. As long as you'll have me, I'll be at your side. |
| 80527 I may disagree with you from time to time, <CHARNAME>, but I'll never ignore you. |
| 80528 What you suggest is heresy. |
| 80529 Then ignore me. I seek only to offer you a fresh perspective. |
| 80530 A heresy embraced by how many of your fellow Sun Soul followers? |
| 80531 Heresy is nothing but a truth that hasn't yet been embraced. |
| 80532 And you would have me embrace the Twofold? |
| 80533 What does your heart say? It won't lead you wrong. |
| 80534 I would have you do that which will make you happiest. When you've reached a decision, well, I'm not hard to find. |
| 80535 No, Rasaad. I would have you lead it. |
| 80536 Me? |
| 80537 If that is your will, yes. |
| 80538 Someone's got to. Who's better qualified than you? |
| 80539 Who better? |
| 80540 The idea makes me... |
| 80541 Uncomfortable? |
| 80542 Nervous? |
| 80543 Excited? |
| 80544 Yes. |
| 80545 Uncomfortable. |
| 80546 The Master of Combat should lead the Trust. |
| 80547 He's certainly proven himself worthy of the task. But what of you? |
| 80548 The Master of Combat can teach them how to fight. Only you can give them something worth fighting for. |
| 80549 A man assigned to command by Alorgoth? You cannot be comfortable with that. |
| 80550 I'll stay here for a time. Help them rebuildâ€â€make sure what they construct is on a firm foundation. And when I'm satisfied that job's complete... Alorgoth awaits. |
| 80551 The Master of Combat, obviously. |
| 80552 He's proven himself worthy of the role, no doubt. But what will you do? |
| 80553 The Master of Combat can teach them how to fight. Only you can give them something worth fighting for. |
| 80554 A man assigned to command by Alorgoth? You cannot be comfortable with that. |
| 80555 He did not know that Darathon and Alorgoth were one and the same. |
| 80556 No one did. No one but you, Rasaad. |
| 80557 And don't you think he should have? |
| 80558 But you did, Rasaad. And that's why you and you alone are fit to command this new order of Selûne. |
| 80559 Ah! You are giving me a headache. |
| 80560 I'm sorry, my friend. I know this can't be easy for you. But the time has come for you to choose a path. What's it going to be? |
| 80561 That's because you're not used to thinking. Don't worry, it'll pass. |
| 80562 This isn't a hard decision to make, Rasaad. If you want to join the Trust, do so. If you want to lead it to Selûne's light, do that. If you want to stay with me, I can always use a man of your talents. Hell, if you want to try and return to the Sun Soul order, I'll even support you in that (though I can't honestly say I expect you'll succeed). Pick a path. Walk it. It's simple. |
| 80563 So you believe I should take command of the Trust, and lead its followers to Selûne's light. |
| 80564 And if the Battle Master won't stand aside? |
| 80565 If he's got his followers' best interest at heart, he will. |
| 80566 Then you've got a decision to make. |
| 80567 Then you must sweep him aside. For the good of all who have followed him. |
| 80568 Maybe someday it will come to that. But not today. |
| 80569 Master of Combat, may I speak with you? |
| 80570 Of course, Rasaad. I have always time for a favorite pupil. |
| 80571 Tell him, Rasaad. Tell him how things will be from now on. |
| 80572 It's time for your favorite student to graduate, I think. |
| 80573 He's a pupil no longer, Battle Master. The time has come for him to lead. |
| 80574 I don't like your tone. |
| 80575 I hope you'll forgive me it. If I appear gruff, it is only because this is a matter of utmost importance. |
| 80576 What you like is irrelevant. What you do is all that matters. Rasaad should lead the Trust. |
| 80577 Then you'll like my actions even less. |
| 80578 I've fought countless men and women in my time, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. One more will make no difference. |
| 80579 Hold, <CHARNAME>. There's been enough death here this day. |
| 80580 Only a fool would try to deny it. Forgive me, Battle Master. My passion on this issue carried me away. |
| 80581 As you wish. |
| 80582 No. We're still one death short. The Master of Combat's. |
| 80583 This day has exacted a heavy toll from us all. |
| 80584 One more death, then! |
| 80585 Is this true, Rasaad? Would you lead these people you so recently deceived? |
| 80586 You think me unworthy? |
| 80587 He merely asks a question, Rasaad. Don't let anger cloud your judgment. |
| 80588 It matters not what he thinks. Tell him to bend his knee or suffer the consequences. |
| 80589 He let Alorgoth pull his strings for months, and he finds you unworthy? I'll kill the dog myself! |
| 80590 You'll not find me so easily brushed aside. |
| 80591 You'll die trying! |
| 80592 Rasaad? You would lead these people you so recently deceived? |
| 80593 Speak clearly. |
| 80594 Very well. You must stand aside. Allow Rasaad to take control of the Trust. |
| 80595 I leave the clear speaking to Rasaad. |
| 80596 I'll let your corpse speak for me, old man. |
| 80597 Master of Combat, you know I have the utmost respect for you, both as a warrior and a man. But you served the will of Alorgoth and in doing so nearly saw the Trust to ultimate destruction. |
| 80598 Would that I could deny the truth of your words, Rasaad. Go on. |
| 80599 I believe there is something valuable here. A solid foundation upon which we might build something great. But these people cannot trust their old leaders. For the Trust to thrive, someone new must take control. |
| 80600 You would rule the Trust? |
| 80601 Not rule, but lead. If you'll accept me in the role. |
| 80602 You know this man, Master of Combatâ€â€you taught him. In your heart of hearts, you must know he and Selûne are the Trust's best hope. |
| 80603 Please don't challenge him to a trial by combat. PLEASE don't challenge him to a trial by combat... |
| 80604 You have a new master now. Kneel before Rasaad. |
| 80605 My kneeling days are over. And all your days are ended! |
| 80606 There is only one way to know who is worthy to lead. |
| 80607 Trial by combat. |
| 80608 I beg you to reconsider. This day has seen enough blood shed. |
| 80609 Beat the living hell out of each other like civilized men. Of course. You wouldn't want to do something crazy, like let the group vote on their leader or something. |
| 80610 You want a fight, monk? I'll give you a trial. |
| 80611 Defend yourself, boy! |
| 80612 What have you done, <CHARNAME>? |
| 80613 He was a servant of Alorgoth. He needed to be eliminated. Now address your followersâ€â€before their weapons address us and more blood is shed. |
| 80614 I've done you a favor. You're welcome. |
| 80615 I removed the final obstacle to your taking control of the Twofold Trust. |
| 80616 The Master of Combat is slain! |
| 80617 He must be avenged! Death to the unbelievers! |
| 80618 The Master of Combat is slain! |
| 80619 It is true. The Master of Combat is dead, and none feel his loss more deeply than I. But hear me, you men and women of the Twofold Trust: While I admired and respected the Battle Master, his judgment was impaired. He was led astray by the fiend Alorgoth. Your order needs a new leaderâ€â€one who sees clearly, one beholden to only the truth, one who was not fooled by the deception of Collus Darathon. Follow me now, and I promise you a new and brighter day for all who seek the truth. |
| 80620 I will follow you, Rasaad. |
| 80621 As will I. |
| 80622 All hail Rasaad, master of the Twofold Trust! |
| 80623 All hail Rasaad! All hail Rasaad! All hail Rasaad! |
| 80624 The Master of Combat is slain! |
| 80625 He must be avenged! Death to the unbelievers! |
| 80626 WAIT! |
| 80627 Enough, Rasaad! I yield! |
| 80628 Spare him, Rasaad. |
| 80629 And...? |
| 80630 Do you swear to serve him faithfully as the leader of the Trust? |
| 80631 You will lead the Trust, Rasaad, and I will be your servant. |
| 80632 An ideal arrangement, I think. |
| 80633 Servants are handy things to have. Tell him to get us some food. I'm starving. |
| 80634 You cannot trust him. He'll turn on you as quickly as he did the Sun Soul. |
| 80635 They speak the truth. I am sorry, master, but for the good of my people, you must die. |
| 80636 Your people? You've been here for less than a day, Rasaad. I have led the Trust for months! |
| 80637 You were a puppet of Alorgoth who blindly led your people towards destruction. There is no place for you in the Trust that I shall build. |
| 80638 Will you serve me, Master of Combat? |
| 80639 The student has exceeded the master. You are more than worthy to command those who serve the Twofold. |
| 80640 You think me some serving wench? |
| 80641 They are joking, master. It's one of <CHARNAME>'s habits, and one I've been unable to break. |
| 80642 You taught me many things, Master of Combat. I sincerely hope that will continue to be the case as we forge this new Trust together. |
| 80643 As do I. With you leading us, there is nothing the Trust cannot accomplish. |
| 80644 The Twofold Trust has prevailed! The goddess smiles twice upon us! |
| 80645 No! Alorgoth yet lives! |
| 80646 So do we, my friend. Let's count our blessings where we may. |
| 80647 It won't last, Rasaad. We'll make sure of it, I promise you. |
| 80648 Calm yourself, Rasaad. This is but a temporary setback. |
| 80649 Whose blessing would that be, <CHARNAME>? Selûne's? Shar's? The Twofold Goddess's? |
| 80650 Selûne's, of course. You would have no other's, I know. |
| 80651 When it comes to blessings, I try not to be so picky. Let's go. |
| 80652 Take your pick. In the end, one's worth the same as another. |
| 80653 I wish I were as certain of that as you seem to be, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80654 You will be, in time. |
| 80655 Yes, well. "Seem" may be the key word there. |
| 80656 You harbor doubts? |
| 80657 Do you believe I hold Selûne in my heart, <CHARNAME>? The things I've done of late... broken my vows, turned against the Sun Soul philosophy... Once, I was sure of where I stood. No longer. |
| 80658 I believe Selûne smiles on those who are true, Rasaad. And I know none more true than you. |
| 80659 Not knowing where you stand isn't necessarily a bad thing. It means you need to keep your eyes on the ground and watch your step. People who don't know where they stand are far less likely to trip. |
| 80660 Save your self-pity for another day, Rasaad. While Alorgoth lives, you've more important things to consider than your relationship with the Moonmaiden. |
| 80661 Your words comfort me, <CHARNAME>, and few things do these days. I thank you for that. |
| 80662 I'm ashamed to admit I do. I have sacrificed everything, and what have I to show for it? My hands are empty and my heart heavy with despair. |
| 80663 A temporary setback, <CHARNAME>? For you, perhaps. I have sacrificed everything I cherished, and what have I to show for it? Nothing! |
| 80664 You say you have nothing. I say there is much for you to take here... if you have the strength to do so. |
| 80665 What are you saying? |
| 80666 You know the Sun Soul order has no place for you now. Its restraints serve many wellâ€â€but they bind you, make you weaker. That is why you turned to deceit rather than your fellow monks when seeking your vengeance. |
| 80667 Nothing of any import, I'm sure. Feel free to ignore me. |
| 80668 The Trust is weakened, but not broken. With the right man in charge, it could become a force to be reckoned with. |
| 80669 You believe I should lead the Trust? |
| 80670 I fear you are right. |
| 80671 There's nothing there to fear, Rasaad. The Trust offers an opportunity to continue worshipping Selûne in a more realistic, less restrictive manner than her sect in the Sun Soul order. |
| 80672 Then take the opportunity being offered. Join the Twofold Trust. Forge it into a weapon that will stab Alorgoth in his black heart. |
| 80673 Fear? Fear won't help you avenge your brother. An order of warrior monks under your command is another matter entirely. |
| 80674 You have never led me wrong, <CHARNAME>. I will take your advice. Perhaps the Twofold Truth does hold the peace I seek. |
| 80675 You say I should join the Trust? |
| 80676 Listen to your heart, Rasaad. What does it say? |
| 80677 These are people like you, Rasaad. People who found the teachings of their leaders unworkable. You could do worse. |
| 80678 I say you should lead it. |
| 80679 In truth, <CHARNAME>, I no longer know my own heart. |
| 80680 Then stay with me for now. Your path will become clear in time, I'm sure of it. |
| 80681 You'll figure it out. You just need some time to rest. |
| 80682 Then we must part for now. When you see things clearly again, I'll be waiting. |
| 80683 These are serious matters, <CHARNAME>. Do not make light of them. |
| 80684 I'm sorry, my friend. I shouldn't have teased you. This can't be an easy decision. |
| 80685 You see? You're made for the monk's life. And the Sun Soul order will never accept you again, not after what you pulled. |
| 80686 There was a kernel of truth in my jest. Why settle for a single goddess when you can answer the call of two? |
| 80687 It is not. But I believe I have made it. |
| 80688 Perhaps there is something in what you say. Many of my fellow monks found solace in the Twofoldâ€â€though the comfort was built on a false premise, there is still some value in it, is there not? Yes, I shall stay here, at least for a time. Help rebuild. Guide them towards Selûne's light. And then, when the time is right... Alorgoth is still out there... |
| 80689 You have always guided me well. As long as you'll have me, I'll be at your side. |
| 80690 I may disagree with you from time to time, <CHARNAME>, but I'll never ignore you. |
| 80691 What you suggest is heresy. |
| 80692 Then ignore me. I seek only to offer you a fresh perspective. |
| 80693 A heresy embraced by how many of your fellow Sun Soul followers? |
| 80694 Heresy is nothing but a truth that hasn't yet been embraced. |
| 80695 And you would have me embrace the Twofold? |
| 80696 What does your heart say? It won't lead you wrong. |
| 80697 I would have you do that which will make you happiest. When you've reached a decision, well, I'm not hard to find. |
| 80698 No, Rasaad. I would have you lead it. |
| 80699 Me? |
| 80700 If that is your will, yes. |
| 80701 Someone's got to. The Master of Combat is dead, and Collus Darathon stands revealed as a fraud. Who else can guide these lost souls back to Selûne's light? |
| 80702 Who better? |
| 80703 The idea makes me... |
| 80704 Uncomfortable? |
| 80705 Nervous? |
| 80706 Excited? |
| 80707 Yes. |
| 80708 Uncomfortable. |
| 80709 I'll stay here for a time. Help them rebuildâ€â€make sure what they construct is on a firm foundation. And when I'm satisfied that job's complete... Alorgoth awaits. |
| 80710 Ah! You are giving me a headache. |
| 80711 I'm sorry, my friend. I know this can't be easy for you. But the time has come for you to choose a path. What's it going to be? |
| 80712 That's because you're not used to thinking. Don't worry, it'll pass. |
| 80713 This isn't a hard decision to make, Rasaad. If you want to join the Trust, do so. If you want to lead it, do that. If you want to stay with me, I can always use a man of your talents. Hell, if you want to try and return to the Sun Soul order, I'll even support you in that (though I can't honestly say I expect you'll succeed.) Pick a path. Walk it. It's simple. |
| 80714 Your humor holds no comfort for me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80715 So... you believe I should take command of the Twofold Trust. Very well. |
| 80716 Hear me, you men and women of the Twofold Trust! You have been led astray by the fiend Alorgoth, and it nearly destroyed you. Nearly. For Alorgoth thought you weak in body, mind, and spirit. You have proven him wrong this day. You can recover from this blow, stronger and more committed than ever before. I tell you, you shall be redeemed! I promise you a new and brighter day in the Moonmaiden's service. From Alorgoth's shadows, I shall lead you into the light! Who is with me? |
| 80717 I will follow you, Rasaad. |
| 80718 As will I. |
| 80719 All hail Rasaad, master of the Trust! |
| 80720 All hail Rasaad! All hail Rasaad! All hail Rasaad! |
| 80721 Snuffle, snort. |
| 80722 Wilson! I thought you had abandoned me. |
| 80723 Hello, Wilson. You're just in time. There's fresh meat aplenty for you at the temple. |
| 80724 We meet again, bear. |
| 80725 Growl, growl, moan. |
| 80726 The wolf carcass and berries are for me? I appreciate the gesture, but you know I didn't free you expecting a reward. |
| 80727 Thanks for that, though I've got to admit I'm not partial to wolf meat. |
| 80728 I accept your tribute. Now go, enjoy your freedom. |
| 80729 Snort! Whine. |
| 80730 Your words humble me, Wilson. I don't know what to say. |
| 80731 I feel the same. |
| 80732 I am not blind. I see the same nobility within you. |
| 80733 Snuffle. Snuffle. Growl. |
| 80734 You would join me in my adventures? |
| 80735 A monkey and a bear! I seem to recall seeing this act on street corner in Thay. |
| 80736 ROAR! |
| 80737 I would be delighted and honored to have you walk beside me. |
| 80738 I'm sorry, Wilson. The places I go will not welcome a creature of your refinement and gentle nature. I would not see you harmed or killed on my account. I beg you, return to your home and live a happy life. |
| 80739 Your place is in the wild with your own kind. Return to the woods. |
| 80740 Aw, does he have to go? He's so CUTE. |
| 80741 Cute, perhaps, but it's a wild beast. This is what is best for him. It cannot be trusted around normal people. |
| 80742 He can't be trusted around us, either. |
| 80743 Beware, <CHARNAME>. You walk with animals, you get fleas. |
| 80744 He's walked with worse, Anomen. The stories I could tell... |
| 80745 Whiiiiiiine. |
| 80746 Very well. If that is your wish, then we shall face the future together. |
| 80747 You are a silver-tongued devil, bear. All right, you can join us. |
| 80748 I'm sorry, Wilson, but my decision is final. Farewell, my friend. |

| 80753 Abyssal Blade |

| 80805 Total Roll: |
| 80806 Ho there, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. What are you doing back here? There's few enough that would willingly face the Bright Moon once. I've never known anyone to return afterward. |
| 80807 The Bright Moon's light holds no fear for me. I find a certain comfort here. |
| 80808 Oh right, I already passed this test, didn't I? |
| 80809 I've some unfinished business with your bleeding corpse. |
| 80810 See that you do so outside the temple. Some of my fellows are less tolerant towards failure than I. |
| 80811 You shouldn't be here, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 80812 The temple's for those who've passed the tests. Not weaklings whose faith in the Twofold faltered at the first challenge. |
| 80813 Forgive me, master. I was just about to leave. |
| 80814 In fairness to my faith, it was a pretty rigorous challenge. |
| 80815 Your faith in your false goddess, it will not save you from me, monk, no matter how strong you believe it to be. |
| 80816 First you fail the tests, then you give us lip. You've some nerve, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. |
| 80817 My despondence over failing the Twofold made me speak out of turn. My humblest apologies. |
| 80818 I've also got some feet, which I'll be using right now. |
| 80819 I've given you some lip. Now I'll take some teeth. |
| 80820 What� Guards! GUARDS! Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 80821 You'll take more than that, I promise you. |
| 80822 That's where you're wrong. |
| 80823 It'll take more than apologies to satisfy the Twofold! |
| 80824 Return when you've something of use to offer the goddess. |
| 80825 Don't apologize to me, you pathetic wretch. Don't even talk to me. Go, get out of here! |
| 80826 That is the best idea I've heard all <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 80827 What have you done, <CHARNAME>? |
| 80828 Excuse me? |
| 80829 Could you be a bit more specific? |
| 80830 I fought your enemies at your side. You have a problem with this? |
| 80831 All is lost! The Trust will never accept me nowâ€â€and I'll never learn the truth about Collus Darathon. My brother's spirit cries out for vengeance, and I have nothing to give him. |
| 80832 Take heart, Rasaad. If Darathon is indeed Alorgoth, then he is a target of both the Sun Soul and Dark Moon orders. If he survives that, you will have other chances to avenge your brother, I'm sure of it. |
| 80833 Nothing you could give him will bring your brother back to life, Rasaad. You'd do well to accept thatâ€â€if not well, better than you have so far. |
| 80834 It is your heart that yearns for vengeance, Rasaad. Leave your brother out of it. |
| 80835 And if that's true? Have I not earned my revenge? |
| 80836 Patience, Rasaad. Your day will come, I am sure of it. |
| 80837 I'm really not qualified to say. Take it up with Selûne. |
| 80838 We don't always get what we deserve. Make peace with that fact and get on with your life. |
| 80839 Would that I had your confidence, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80840 Would that either of you had my sense, or any sense at all. If you did, we'd never have set eyes on this dismal hole. |
| 80841 My enemy is Alorgoth, and he still lives. |
| 80842 With all due respect, Rasaad, there's no proof of that. |
| 80843 Cheer up, Rasaad. That can't last forever. |
| 80844 Then rejoice. You still have time to kill him. |
| 80845 Now you doubt me, <CHARNAME>? |
| 80846 The loss of a brother is no small thing. I fear you're not thinking straight. |
| 80847 Doubt you? Perhaps a little. But more than that, I fear for you, my friend. This path you're on will surely lead to your doom. |
| 80848 Does it matter? I came here on your behalf. |
| 80849 Perhaps... You're right. I need to take some timeâ€â€meditate, clear my head. |
| 80850 Take as long as you need, my friend. You know I'm here for you when you need me. |
| 80851 The last thing you need right now is to be on your own. Stay with meâ€â€let me help you through this. |
| 80852 You spend too much time in your head as it is. What you need is bloodâ€â€the thrill of battle. |
| 80853 I appreciate it. More than you can know. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80854 Very well. We have come this far together; it makes little sense to part now. |
| 80855 I know you mean well, <CHARNAME>. But I fear I'll soon find myself in a dark place, and I'd not drag you down there with me. I appreciate what you've done for meâ€â€more than you will ever know. But this is where we part waysâ€â€at least for the time being. |
| 80856 Maybe someday I shall. |
| 80857 You have seen us driven from the Twofold's temple. |
| 80858 That is something you should be thanking <PRO_HIMHER> for. |
| 80859 You mock me? |
| 80860 Merely trying to look on the bright side of things. As a worshipper of Selûne, I'd have thought you'd approve. |
| 80861 Not at all. I merely state the truth. While Alorgoth lives, so does your chance to avenge your brother. |
| 80862 Perhaps in time I'll be able to see this "bright side." For now, my heart is dark with the knowledge that Alorgoth has thwarted me. |
| 80863 What you say is true, but it is also true that Alorgoth should have died today. And that is a bitter draught to swallow. |
| 80864 The only death I fear is a meaningless one. And after today I'm closer to that than ever before. |
| 80865 You mock me? |
| 80866 Merely trying to look on the bright side of things. As a worshipper of Selûne, I'd have thought you'd approve. |
| 80867 Yes. Because the Sun Soul order is famous for its sense of humor. |
| 80868 And now I leave on yours. The Twofold Heretics will continue to spread their corruption. Their leader lives, and Gamaz is dead. This is a dark day, <CHARNAME>. A dark day indeed. |
| 80869 I hope you're right, <CHARNAME>. And I trust that in your company I'll not have to wait long to find out. |
| 80870 THE BATTLE IS LOST, HERETICS! LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS AND THROW YOURSELVES ON THE MERCY OF SHAR! |
| 80871 Collus? But... how is this possible? |
| 80872 You'll never know, monk. Now, in the name of Shar, the one true goddess of the nightâ€â€die! |
| 80873 What manner of person could so soon forget the Trial of the Bright Moon? No, don't answer that. I'm happy just to know we're on the same side. |
| 80874 My bleeding...? Twofold, I beg you, save your loyal servant! |
| 80875 Then make yourself as comfortable as you can. You certainly earned the right. |
| 80876 I would... speak with you. I need help... I need help getting... |
| 80877 Begging your pardon, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Hexxat is harmless enough, but she can be a little... uncoordinated. |
| 80878 Is she all right? |
| 80879 She can lurk over here if she likes. I could use the company. |
| 80880 Is there a problem here? |
| 80881 Those aren't exactly the words I would use. But I'm afraid she doesn't get much better than this. |
| 80882 How so? |
| 80883 I worry that she may be disturbing other patrons. |
| 80884 She's in here every night. I should throw her out, but look at herâ€â€it'd be like kicking a sick dog. |
| 80885 Milady? Are you all right? |
| 80886 You look like you eat well enough. Beat it, I'd like to have words with this woman in private. |
| 80887 Here, take this. Give the woman whatever she wants. |
| 80888 You may go now. |
| 80889 I'll take the money, but all she ever orders is water, which in all honesty, I've never seen her drink. |
| 80890 Fine. I need to get to... Dragomir's Tomb. In the... the district... with... the graves. |
| 80891 You wish to go to a tomb? Why? |
| 80892 I can help you with that. |
| 80893 If this were any other evening, I'd still say good luck with that. Good luck with that. |
| 80894 Treasure. There's a... great treasure there. In Dragomir's Tomb. Graveyard... enter from the graveyard... |
| 80895 Can I get you something to drink? |
| 80896 Why don't you spend some time with me and my friends? I've got a blistering headache at the moment. Otherwise, I'd be very interested in promises of treasure from a strange, faintly distant lady I met in an inn and would be only too glad to join you in raiding this tomb of yours. |
| 80897 Treasure, you say? How much treasure? |
| 80898 Great. Great treasure. |
| 80899 I can tell you feel very strongly about visiting this place, and I'd be a sorry person indeed if I let you go alone. |
| 80900 I'll admit I'm intrigued by the prospect, but you look like you can barely stand, never mind rob a tomb. Why don't you join me and my friends? Build your energy up for a bit, then when you're feeling a bit more yourself, we can check out this tomb of yours. |
| 80901 An intriguing proposition. You know where this treasure can be found? |
| 80902 The tomb. Dragomir's Tomb. With the graves. The district of graves. |
| 80903 I was hoping for something a tad more specific, but beggars can't be choosers. Let's go see this tomb of yours. |
| 80904 You are quite the saleswoman. Very well, let us go to this tomb. I'd see this treasure of yours. |
| 80905 Yes, you mentioned. I'd like to help you, but I'm thinking you're a bit beyond help from anything that's less than divine in nature. Good luck finding your way to Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 80906 No. I'm thirsty, but... no. I just want to go... to Dragomir's Tomb. It's where the graves are. |
| 80907 I can take you there. |
| 80908 You say there's treasure there? |
| 80909 Well, good luck in getting there. |
| 80910 The... tomb of Dragomir? You can get me there? |
| 80911 We can leave right now. |
| 80912 I can, but you don't really look like you're up for a tomb right now. Join me and my friends, build your energy up. Then we can visit this tomb of yours. |
| 80913 I could, but it'd be doing you no favors. Take my adviceâ€â€wait a while. Eat something, and drink. Grow healthy. Then, when you reach the tomb, you'll be prepared. I wish you luck, milady. I can tell from listening to you that you'll need it. |
| 80914 Have yourself a good night, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 80915 NOT MINE. Not my tomb. Dragomir's. Must get to Dragomir's Tomb. In Graveyard District. |
| 80916 You really want to visit this place, don't you? Very well then. |
| 80917 Soon, my dear. Soon. |
| 80918 All in good time. A tomb's the last place you want to visit when you aren't feeling your best. |
| 80919 She hardly talks more than she eats, and she doesn't eat anything, but if you're all right with her, I'll leave you be. |
| 80920 Perhaps she's sick. |
| 80921 Can I get you something to eat, milady? Or perhaps a drink? |
| 80922 You may go now. |
| 80923 A plague-carrier? That, I don't need. |
| 80924 Are you all right, milady? |
| 80925 As you wish, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 80926 Now then. Introductions. I am <CHARNAME>. And you are...? |
| 80927 By all the gods, I've met damp stones with more pleasant personalities. But enough geology. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 80928 Count yourself lucky I don't burn it to the ground, you festering carbuncle. |
| 80929 I am... Hexxat. That is who I am. Can you help me? I need... need to get to Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 80930 Easy enough to accomplish. |
| 80931 A tomb? Why would you want to go to a tomb? |
| 80932 I could help you. But I shan't. Not tonight, at any rate. Fare thee well, milady. |
| 80933 You'll come with me to the tomb...? |
| 80934 I will. You're clearly too weak to manage such an undertaking on your own, but I can tell there'll be no stopping you. Best to get it over with quickly so we can get on with our lives. |
| 80935 Of course! I haven't been to a good tomb in ages. |
| 80936 Soon. Not tonight. You need to take some time to recover first. When you're feeling better, that's when we'll pay Dragomir a visit. |
| 80937 Y'come inna my place and you insult me? Oh no, that won't stand. Get out! Get outta here! |
| 80938 Hexxat. My name was... is... Hexxat. I need to... go. To Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 80939 I can take you there. |
| 80940 What possible reason could you have for going to a tomb? No wait, let me guess. There's treasure there. |
| 80941 A tomb? Pass. |
| 80942 I met a woman by the name of Hexxat. She seemed a strange sort, and I let her be. It was curious, though... her face had a blank expression during our whole encounter, and she seemed heavily distracted. |
| 80943 I met a woman by the name of Hexxat. She seemed a strange sort, and needed help in reaching some place called Dragomir's Tomb, which apparently resides in the nearby Graveyard District. I declined to invite her into the party. |
| 80944 I met a woman by the name of Hexxat. She seemed a strange sort, and needed help in reaching some place called the Tomb of Dragomir, and I've agreed to aid her for the time being. |
| 80945 Excuse me. I need... I need to go to Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 80946 Very well. Can you lead me there? |
| 80947 What's in it for me, exactly? |
| 80948 I'm afraid I don't have time for that at the moment. |
| 80949 There's... a great treasure... in Dragomir's Tomb. I need to go there. |
| 80950 Yes, you've established that. Will I be getting anything out of this? Are you rescuing someone? Details, m'lady. |
| 80951 I see. Well, come along. We shall investigate this Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 80952 I haven't the time for this. |
| 80953 I'll be taking my leave of you now, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80954 Are you sure you want to do that? |
| 80955 But why? We've been having such a good time together. |
| 80956 I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you good fortune on your future endeavors. |
| 80957 Yes... to the Graveyard District. The tomb is there. We should leave now. |
| 80958 All treasures. All yours. They are... not useful to me. I only seek what's inside. |
| 80959 I'm sold. Let us venture to this tomb of Dragomir's. |
| 80960 Not interested. Goodbye. |
| 80961 This is the place. The tomb of Dragomir. |
| 80962 Do you have a way in? |
| 80963 I came. I saw. I had second thoughts. I left. |
| 80964 Open it. I would see this great treasure you promised. |
| 80965 Did it... before. |
| 80966 Then let's do this. |
| 80967 You did? When? |
| 80968 Then do it again. There's plundering to be done. |
| 80969 I... I don't remember. |
| 80970 Perhaps something inside will jar your memory. |
| 80971 That's... not as helpful as I'd hoped. But you can get it open? |
| 80972 I like this less and less with each passing second. Let's withdraw, take some time, and see if you can recall any more details of this place. |
| 80973 I must enter... |
| 80974 We'll go together. |
| 80975 Are you sure that's a good idea, Hexxat? Because between the evil spirit assault out there and the blinding stygian darkness in here, I'm dead certain it isn't. And now that I think of it, I wish I'd used a different phrase to describe how certain I am. |
| 80976 The stink of magic permeates this place, <CHARNAME>. We should give it a wide berth. |
| 80977 As you wish. |
| 80978 Only a fool would enter this place after what we just dealt with. |
| 80979 You bring me to such interesting places, <CHARNAME>. |
| 80980 I'm not likin' the looks of that trail of bones. What's down here? |
| 80981 The treasure is still here... |
| 80982 Good news. Let's retrieve it and be on our way. |
| 80983 Wait a secondâ€â€this isn't going to be some metaphorical treasure, is it? The last thing I need is to learn an important truth about myself. |
| 80984 Where is it? |
| 80985 The tomb must be opened... |
| 80986 You must enter the tomb... |
| 80987 Why? |
| 80988 Speak for yourself. |
| 80989 Uh, aren't we already in the tomb? |
| 80990 You wound me, Hexxat. |
| 80991 Living or dead, no one commands <CHARNAME>. |
| 80992 You'll heal. In the meantime, I've matters to attend to elsewhere. |
| 80993 Free us! |
| 80994 Awake the Sleeper! |
| 80995 It's all right, Boo. They're dead, but I'm sure they're not bad |
| 80996 You were right, Boo. They weren't nice at all. |
| 80997 Tell me more. |
| 80998 Such as? |
| 80999 I wish you nothing but success in whatever you choose to pursue. |
| 81000 I require an item from the tomb of Dragomir. |
| 81001 What item? |
| 81002 Would you settle for an item from Trademeet instead? They're much easier to come by there. |
| 81003 Best of luck getting it. |
| 81004 I've some business to attend to. I thought you might assist me. I see now I was wrong. |
| 81005 Don't be so quick to count me out. What is this business that requires your attention? |
| 81006 Don't be so quick to count me out. What is this business that requires your attention? |
| 81007 You wound me, Hexxat. |
| 81008 No. No, this is wrong... The Sleeper is near, but not here... |
| 81009 Who is this Sleeper? |
| 81010 Mistakes are the best education. Farewell. |
| 81011 What does this Sleeper have to do with the treasure? |
| 81012 You'll heal. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 81013 "The Sleeper"? I came here seeking treasure, Hexxat. |
| 81014 Hexxat, wait. Tell me what you need to do. |
| 81015 The Sleeper is the treasure. |
| 81016 What is the Sleeper? |
| 81017 Could you put a rough estimate on an average Sleeper's street value? What're we looking at here, 1,000,000 gold pieces? Less? |
| 81018 I won't. This wound will fester and bubble, and left unattended, it will be my death. I must deal with it, by doing right by you. What is this business you need to attend to? |
| 81019 I won't. This wound will fester and bubble and, left unattended, it will be my death. I must deal with it, by doing right by you. What is this business you need to attend to? |
| 81020 I know not what this Sleeper is, but it matters little. Our versions of what qualifies as great treasure are clearly very different things. I shall leave you to pursue yours and thank you to do the same as I seek mine. |
| 81021 Good fortune be with you. |
| 81022 Good fortune be with you. |
| 81023 A valuable item. |
| 81024 The Sleeper is valuable beyond price. |
| 81025 Then we must fetch it for you. Let's be away. |
| 81026 Then we must fetch it for you. Let's be away. |
| 81027 I'll need more than that. What color is it? Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral? Is it bigger than a breadbox? |
| 81028 The Sleeper must awake. |
| 81029 Valuable indeed, to risk disturbing the sleep of the dead. |
| 81030 Valuable indeed, to risk disturbing the sleep of the dead. |
| 81031 Why? |
| 81032 I'd hate to disturb anyone's restâ€â€especially anyone who makes a habit of resting in a tomb. I think I'll just be going now... |
| 81033 Will you join me or not? |
| 81034 I dislike the sound of that. Farewell, Hexxat. |
| 81035 You mustn't leave. The Sleeper must wake. |
| 81036 Hexxat... |
| 81037 The shadows of the unquiet dead! What madness have you brought us to this time, <CHARNAME>? |
| 81038 I will. |
| 81039 I will. |
| 81040 You make it sound so exciting. How can I resist? |
| 81041 You make it sound so exciting. How can I resist? |
| 81042 Shan't. |
| 81043 Shan't. |
| 81044 A wave of foul necrotic energy hits you as you attempt to enter the tomb and seems to repel you backwards. Faint whispers from within the tomb seem to endlessly repeat a name... "Hexxat." |
| 81045 Dragomir is dead. |
| 81046 He's been dead a long time now, but this time he will not rise again. |
| 81047 Your grasp of the obvious is beyond reproach. |
| 81048 Your grasp of the obvious is beyond reproach. |
| 81049 Perhaps this time it will take. |
| 81050 We're very close to where we need to be now. We must move forward. |
| 81051 With caution. Dragomir may be gone, but that doesn't mean we're out of danger. |
| 81052 Forward is where the treasure lies? |
| 81053 We've come this farâ€â€might as well finish the job. |
| 81054 The treasure, yes... |
| 81055 We're very close now. |
| 81056 You must enter the tomb. |
| 81057 What? Why? |
| 81058 A tomb within a tomb? A little redundant, don't you think? |
| 81059 I don't think I do. |
| 81060 Sorry. I've got a strict "one tomb break-in a day" policy. |
| 81061 You don't give the orders here, Hexxat. Where is the treasure? |
| 81062 It's the only way to get... to... the treasure. |
| 81063 The treasure's in there? |
| 81064 If you want the treasure so bad, then you get in. |
| 81065 No treasure is worth this. |
| 81066 The way to it lies within. Be careful. |
| 81067 I don't understand why you can't come with me. |
| 81068 "Go into the dark and spooky tomb, but make sure to be careful." Kind of sending mixed messages there. I shall investigate this tomb. |
| 81069 We'll find another way. Let's go. |
| 81070 I cannot. You must go. |
| 81071 Very well, if I must. I shall investigate this tomb. |
| 81072 Fine. But this treasure of yours better be worth it. |
| 81073 I've wasted enough time with this nonsense. Farewell, Hexxat. |
| 81074 On your guard, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 81075 I've no wish to fight you. |
| 81076 I've been on my guard ever since I arrived in this gods-forsaken place. Who the hell are you? |
| 81077 I'm always on my guard. Who are you? |
| 81078 You stand before Burich the Unyielding. |
| 81079 I am <CHARNAME>. It's an honor to make your acquaintance, Burich. |
| 81080 Yes... I could kneel before you, if it'd make you more comfortable... |
| 81081 The Unyielding, you say? I would test that epithet. |
| 81082 Spare me the pleasantries, <PRO_RACE>. Prepare for battle. |
| 81083 I have no wish to fight you, Burich. |
| 81084 If by "battle" you actually mean "to run," rest assured, I am fully prepared. |
| 81085 No preparations needed. I'm always ready for battle. |
| 81086 Go where you will. You'll find there's no escape from this placeâ€â€not even death. |
| 81087 I don't want to fight. |
| 81088 No way out? What the hell was the architect's problem with exits? |
| 81089 Whose death, wraith? Yours or mine? |
| 81090 We will haunt this place together, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 81091 Then you've got a problem, for my orders are clear. |
| 81092 Who gave you the orders? |
| 81093 I've come to give you new orders. |
| 81094 Your orders mean nothing to me. |
| 81095 Iâ€â€don't recall. It's all a little foggy... |
| 81096 Then how can you be sure you remember them accurately? |
| 81097 Then how can you be sure you remember them accurately? |
| 81098 All right then, forget the orders a moment and tell me this: Do you want to fight me? |
| 81099 You follow orders you don't even remember getting, from someone lost in the veil of time? Don't tell me you find this worthy of a man of your character and talents. |
| 81100 You what? |
| 81101 I have new orders for you. You are to allow me full access to the tomb and ensure that I'm not bothered during my exploration. |
| 81102 You would command Burich the Unyielding? On whose authority? |
| 81103 I represent the Athkatla Civic Authority. The new civil accord cedes control and maintenance of all burial properties to us. |
| 81104 Why Dragomir's, of course. Who else? |
| 81105 On <CHARNAME>'s authority. I need no other. |
| 81106 You say you serve Dragomir? |
| 81107 I do. |
| 81108 I just said I did. Is there an echo in here? |
| 81109 I'll serve him your head on a platter! |
| 81110 Then die! |
| 81111 Then die! |
| 81112 I know nothing of this accord or your authority. |
| 81113 Well, how do you suggest we deal with this? |
| 81114 A lot of ghosts say that. You people really should pay more attention to community affairs. Now then: I'm told there's great treasure here. Where is it? |
| 81115 Your ignorance is of no concern to me. |
| 81116 I'll deal with it and you both precisely the same way. |
| 81117 In truth, I cannot. I know only that this is what I've always done. |
| 81118 And is it what you want to do? |
| 81119 You've always attacked visitors? Always, without exception? Are you sure? |
| 81120 Make a move on me and it'll be your last. |
| 81121 I believe it is, yes. Now you will join me in death! |
| 81122 It has been a while since I crushed an interloper's skull... |
| 81123 But why are you crushing the skulls? Because you want to, or because you believe it is your duty? |
| 81124 I understand. Skills get rusty after a while. How long have you been here? |
| 81125 Let's waste no more time. |
| 81126 There's no way to judge the passage of time down here. It's been years, at least, maybe decades since the fall of Dragomir the Red. |
| 81127 You were a servant of his? |
| 81128 And you've been here all that time? |
| 81129 What is this I see before me? Are you real, <PRO_MANWOMAN>, or does my mind play tricks upon me? |
| 81130 Well, however long it is, your time here nears an end. |
| 81131 Aye. |
| 81132 I am <CHARNAME>. I assure you I am real. |
| 81133 I am a knight of Dragomir. I was posted here to ensure he did not rise again. |
| 81134 You have to ask? Look at me! Do I look real to you? |
| 81135 Have you succeeded? |
| 81136 You'll find out how real I am in short order, monster. |
| 81137 And a splendid job you've done. |
| 81138 You failed, Burich. Dragomir broke free of this place decades ago. |
| 81139 You call Dragomir a monster? |
| 81140 You lie, <PRO_RACE>! You MUST be lying... |
| 81141 I am, actually. But you believed me, admit it. And that says something about how you feel about this job, don't you think? |
| 81142 I am, actually. But you believed me, admit it. And that says something about how you feel about this job, don't you think? |
| 81143 Surely not. You are merely misunderstood. |
| 81144 Would that it were so. But for this past fifty years or more, you've stood guard over an empty tomb. |
| 81145 Well, it is your tomb, which means you're supposed to be dead, but you're not just walking but bellowing madly, so yeah, I don't think "monster" is out of order. |
| 81146 I call you what you are. |
| 81147 NO! IT CANNOT BE! |
| 81148 Why have you come to my tomb, <CHARNAME>? |
| 81149 You are clever, <PRO_RACE>. I almost believed you. Die! |
| 81150 I'm here helping a friend. |
| 81151 I try to have at least three phenomenally bad ideas a day. I'm counting this place as two. |
| 81152 I am weary, <PRO_RACE>. I want nothing but an end to my labors. |
| 81153 The Sleeper Must Awake. |
| 81154 Tell me how I can free you from your burden? |
| 81155 I know the feeling. How can I help you? |
| 81156 I was told there was great treasure here. |
| 81157 Worry not, noble Burich. I will end this hollow existence for you. |
| 81158 Who are you? Why are you here? |
| 81159 My name is <CHARNAME>. I'm here to try and help a friend. |
| 81160 I'll not go easily into oblivion, and if I must go, I will not be alone! |
| 81161 I am <CHARNAME>. I try to have at least three phenomenally bad ideas a day. I'm counting this place as two. |
| 81162 The Sleeper Must Awake. |
| 81163 Dragomir must suffer the final death. Only then can I be free. |
| 81164 Where is he? |
| 81165 Where is he? |
| 81166 I am called <CHARNAME>. I was told there was great treasure here. Tell me where it is and I'll spare you whatever passes for your life. |
| 81167 The final death. He's an undead then? |
| 81168 Insolent <PRO_RACE>! Join me in death! |
| 81169 I think there's a faster, more efficient way we can free you, Burich. |
| 81170 Aye, a vampire of no little power. |
| 81171 You look real enough... |
| 81172 A robber awoke him some time ago, but wards prevent his escape. He is trapped within the inner tomb. |
| 81173 I would though, wouldn't I? |
| 81174 Exactly my point. It's a poor mind indeed that plays tricks on its owner by presenting hallucinations that don't appear to be real. |
| 81175 Actually... I'm not so sure I have. It's so hard to remember, but I... I THINK there was a woman who came here, many years ago... |
| 81176 Looks can be deceiving. Especially deceptive looks. |
| 81177 Do you know her name? |
| 81178 Real enough to end you. |
| 81179 True... So you say you are of my own creation? |
| 81180 Describe her. |
| 81181 What do you think? |
| 81182 I cannot remember her name or her face. Her features are lost to me, but I remember what she did. |
| 81183 I'm not saying that. But it makes sense, doesn't it? |
| 81184 Her name... No. But I do remember her promise. |
| 81185 No one created me. I am my own <PRO_MASTERMISTRESS>. |
| 81186 You don't fool me! |
| 81187 She said that she could slay Dragomir. If he were to die a final death, I would finally be able to leave this place. |
| 81188 In life, perhaps. But in death you will serve Dragomir! |
| 81189 And did she give him a final death? |
| 81190 Aye... |
| 81191 So you let her pass. |
| 81192 In the years I've spent trapped in this accursed chamber, I've seen all manner of things, most the invention of my own distracted mind. |
| 81193 How long have you been stuck here? |
| 81194 As you're still here, I gather she failed. |
| 81195 Looks like your mind is at it again. |
| 81196 I believe so. |
| 81197 And a most inventive mind it is. |
| 81198 And she slew Dragomir? |
| 81199 I'll waste no more time with you, phantom. |
| 81200 Something tells me this story doesn't have a happy ending. |
| 81201 She entered the tomb, and Dragomir awoke. She tried to fight him, but he was far, far too powerful. |
| 81202 Since before you were born, wretched <PRO_RACE>. |
| 81203 No. She awoke him and was embraced. |
| 81204 It can't have been easy for you. |
| 81205 See, here we were having a pleasant conversation and then you have to go and be rude. Why is that? |
| 81206 Perhaps I can free you... if you make the right offer. |
| 81207 My body is trapped within this damned hole, but my rage cannot be contained! Feel my fury, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 81208 The only thing I'll offer you is death! |
| 81209 By embraced, you mean...? |
| 81210 It hasn't been. I Wait... What trickery is this? You think to manipulate me by feigning sympathy? This place will echo with your screams for years to come! |
| 81211 He hugged her? That's nice. |
| 81212 She freed him? |
| 81213 I almost believe you, <PRO_RACE>. But I sense Hexxat among you, and there's no mistaking her foul presence. Join me in death! |
| 81214 Not hugged. EMBRACED. |
| 81215 Hexxat! How many more fools will you sacrifice before you realize you will never escape this place? |
| 81216 She was turned into an undead creature like Dragomir and left to slumber in his place. |
| 81217 So Dragomir is free? |
| 81218 Never is a long time, Dragomir. |
| 81219 Is there treasure of any kind whatsoever, great or otherwise, in this story? A gold piece, a copper trinket, anything at all...? |
| 81220 Who is this friend? |
| 81221 Where is Dragomir? |
| 81222 Her name is Hexxat. |
| 81223 Thankfully, no. |
| 81224 His name is Horatio Randomkettle. Do you know him? |
| 81225 The tomb is heavily wardedâ€â€he roams its passages, but cannot leave. And neither can I, not until he dies one final time. |
| 81226 Then take heart, friend Burich. The hour of your freedom is finally at hand. |
| 81227 You know Bhaal? |
| 81228 I've yet to see Dragomir. |
| 81229 I can help you with that... if you help me. |
| 81230 Take some comfort in the knowledge that you aren't the first she's led to their death! |
| 81231 His movements are limited to the interior of the tomb. Its entry is well hidden. |
| 81232 I do not. |
| 81233 He sent me here to find the Gauntlet of Eternal Righteousness. Do you know where I can find that? |
| 81234 That damned Randomkettle! All right, here's the thingâ€â€Horatio's got a wicked sense of humor, and I'm pretty sure sending me down here is his idea of a joke. So if you'll excuse me, I'll be leaving, but I'll be having words with the man, I promise you that. |
| 81235 Treacherous <PRO_RACE>! We'll haunt this place together! |
| 81236 I do, actually. And I shall! |
| 81237 That makes sense. I did just make him up to distract you a moment. |
| 81238 None who enter this place leave it alive. Die! |
| 81239 There's only one reward for those who intrude here. And it's not treasure. |
| 81240 This rod fits an opening near the tomb's entrance. Insert it there and the path to Dragomir's chamber will open. |
| 81241 There is no such item here, <PRO_RACE>. You have been deceived, sent to your death by your friend Randomkettle. Die! |
| 81242 You have come for Hexxat. Curse that woman! How does she continually draw you people in? |
| 81243 Draw us in? |
| 81244 Come for Hexxat? I already had her. I meanâ€â€she was with me. We were togetherâ€â€oh, never mind. |
| 81245 You say Hexxat is the Sleeper? |
| 81246 It matters notâ€â€like all the others, the only thing here for you is your doom! |
| 81247 The only thing here for you is death. |
| 81248 I know the Lord of Murder. Or rather... I knew him. From what little I have learned from the outside world, I do know that the gods have once again shifted. |
| 81249 I am his <PRO_SONDAUGHTER>. |
| 81250 Personally? Tell me, is he as charming as they say? |
| 81251 My father. Now I bid you stand aside and let me be about my business. |
| 81252 Do what you're here to do quickly, Bhaalspawn. I've little patience for visitors. |
| 81253 ENOUGH! I'll suffer your presence no longer! |
| 81254 Nobody defiles Dragomir's Tomb. Bhaalspawn or no, I'll tear you apart! |
| 81255 I can give you a key to open the inner tomb. But know this: Dragomir is far too dangerous to risk freeing. Use the key and there will be no escaping this placeâ€â€not until Dragomir finally falls. |
| 81256 Fair enough. |
| 81257 This place is so cheerful and pleasant. Why would anyone ever want to leave? |
| 81258 Dragomir will fall as certainly as you're about to. |
| 81259 The rod is a key. There is an opening near the tomb's entrance it should fit. Use it quickly. |
| 81260 This is an ill-starred place, <CHARNAME>. We should not be here. |
| 81261 Creeeee-ee-ee-PEE. |
| 81262 The spirits want their broken dove. |
| 81263 Is it just me or does everyone hear those voices? |
| 81264 We need to bring Hexxat here. |
| 81265 Yes, or we could not bring Hexxat and go someplace else. Someplace warm and cozy and not filled with the whispering voices of the dead. That isn't unreasonable, is it? |
| 81266 A wave of foul necrotic energy hits youâ€â€you withdraw immediately and involuntarily. Only someone of single-minded purpose could overcome this barrier. |
| 81267 The Sleeper... she wakes! Mistress, I have done as you commandâ€â€please let me live! |
| 81268 Forgive me, Clara... This is the only way. |
| 81269 <CHARNAME>. Good to finally meet you. |
| 81270 I wish I could say the same. Who are you? |
| 81271 Did you say "meet," or "eat"? |
| 81272 You'll not think so in a couple of seconds. |
| 81273 I've no desire to fight you. |
| 81274 If you seek to kill me, you're going to have to. Not all of us are so happy to be devoured. |
| 81275 What do you desire? |
| 81276 Good. That should make killing you a lot easier. |
| 81277 I just spent more than two hundred years in a coffin. I won't let you put me in another. |
| 81278 Who are you? |
| 81279 All right. I'll put you back in the same one. |
| 81280 We'll see about that, monster! |
| 81281 A waste of time! |
| 81282 Very droll, but I expect nothing more at this point. |
| 81283 You act as though we know each other. |
| 81284 I make it a habit to keep people's expectations of me as low as possible. Who are you again? |
| 81285 You can expect a point through your heart if you don't explain yourself. |
| 81286 We do, after a fashion. I am Hexxat of Mezro. |
| 81287 And the person whose blood you just guzzled? |
| 81288 You share the name of the person you just killed. What an astonishing coincidence. |
| 81289 And I've got an appointment anywhere else. |
| 81290 Like hell you are. |
| 81291 Explain myself? What's to explain? |
| 81292 I am Hexxat. Try and keep up. |
| 81293 Slow and steady wins the race. |
| 81294 You just ate Hexxat, which rather inclines me to try and put you down. |
| 81295 That really depends on the kind of race you're running now, doesn't it? |
| 81296 What kind of race are you running, Hexxat? |
| 81297 I'll show you the kind I'm runningâ€â€feel free to take part in a completely different kind, preferably in the opposite direction. |
| 81298 I don't run. |
| 81299 Then you haven't been properly inspired. Yet. I have things to do. Meet me back at the Copper Coronet in two hours. |
| 81300 All right. |
| 81301 Things? What things? |
| 81302 You're in no position to give me orders. |
| 81303 That is a good question. Friends are always handy. But we should get out of this place first. |
| 81304 No, first you should tell me your name. |
| 81305 The most sensible thing I've heard all day, and it comes from the woman who just used another woman as a wineskin. |
| 81306 All right then. Let's go. |
| 81307 I've some personal matters that need tending to. Meet me at the Copper Coronet in two hours. |
| 81308 What are you going to do? |
| 81309 And if I don't? |
| 81310 You would give me orders? I don't think so. |
| 81311 I couldn't eat you if I wanted to. A girl's got to watch her weight. |
| 81312 So you won't kill me. You murdered Hexxat. Do you think I'll let that go unanswered? |
| 81313 Is that supposed to make me feel more comfortable? |
| 81314 She better watch a hell of a lot more than that if she wants to walk out of here in one piece. Who are you? |
| 81315 I am Hexxat. |
| 81316 Your confusion is understandable. While the corpse did my bidding, I let her use my name. |
| 81317 Who is she? |
| 81318 She merely borrowed my name. |
| 81319 A pawn in a game I've been playing a long, long time. Her sacrifice was unfortunate, but necessary. |
| 81320 Death is no game. |
| 81321 What gives you the right to make that decision? |
| 81322 While yours is unnecessary, but will prove enjoyable. |
| 81323 One that shouldn't have lasted as long as it did. Meet me back at the Copper Coronet in two hours. |
| 81324 What are you going to do? |
| 81325 Sure. I'll bring the pitchforks and the torch-wielding villagers. |
| 81326 You expect me to come running at your beck and call? |
| 81327 I expect nothing of you, <CHARNAME>. You don't want to see me again? Fine. |
| 81328 I need to see an... old friend. |
| 81329 I'll come with you. |
| 81330 How old? How long have you been stuck here? |
| 81331 Go, then. But don't expect to see me again. |
| 81332 Your call, <CHARNAME>. |
| 81333 Too long. See you in two hours. |
| 81334 No. You'll meet me at the Copper Coronet in two hours. |
| 81335 And if I don't? |
| 81336 See you there. |
| 81337 You don't give me orders, woman. |
| 81338 Then I'll be disappointed. Two hours. |
| 81339 Then don't meet me back at the Copper Coronet. You've already done what I needed you to do. |
| 81340 You could have just asked for my help. |
| 81341 Yes, and don't think I'm happy being used as a food delivery service. |
| 81342 Yes, and I believe I was promised "great treasure" in exchange for doing so. |
| 81343 You owe me, Hexxat. Don't forget that. |
| 81344 You'd be surprised how many people aren't excited by the thought of helping a vampire. |
| 81345 How did you convince this unfortunate woman to sacrifice herself? |
| 81346 I really don't think I would be. |
| 81347 I'm not like other people. |
| 81348 Truer words have never been spoken, <CHARNAME>. Two hours, at the Coronet. |
| 81349 I can't be held responsible for promises made by other people using my name. But for what it's worth, you'll find my company's a great treasure indeed. The Copper Coronet. Two hours. |
| 81350 Everything's a game, <CHARNAME>. |
| 81351 No. I won't stand here and listen to you diminish the life of the person you killed this way. |
| 81352 What if I don't want to play? |
| 81353 If that's true, I'm sorry to have to tell you this: You lose. |
| 81354 Damn it, <CHARNAME>! We could have done great things together. |
| 81355 Then you'll lose. |
| 81356 Don't you think I'm not appreciative. But now I must go. |
| 81357 If we are going to work together, <CHARNAME>, there's something you need to know about me: There is nothing I won't do to stay alive. Nothing. Do you understand? |
| 81358 Perfectly. But I don't like it. |
| 81359 I've got to say, that doesn't exactly make working with you sound tremendously appealing. |
| 81360 I feel exactly the same. |
| 81361 I'll make it worth your while. Two hours, at the Coronet. |
| 81362 Good. See you at the Coronet in two hours. |
| 81363 Where is it? Where is Dragomir's Cloak? |
| 81364 Then let's talk no more about it. I'll meet you at the Copper Coronet in two hours. |
| 81365 The vampire's rag? I've got it. |
| 81366 And if I'm not there? |
| 81367 I believe there's still a matter of some, and I quote, "great treasure" that I'm owed... |
| 81368 You'll meet your death in the next two minutes! |
| 81369 I have no idea. |
| 81370 The Coronet. Two hours. |
| 81371 Dragomir's cloak? Uh uh. <CHARNAME>'s cloak now. |
| 81372 I can be very persuasive when I put my mind to it. See you in a couple hours. |
| 81373 Give it to me. |
| 81374 Very well. |
| 81375 What's the magic word? |
| 81376 Maybe I will, maybe I won't. First, you're going to give me some answers. |
| 81377 It's of no value to you. |
| 81378 What will you give me in exchange? |
| 81379 I'll give it to you when you give me some answers. |
| 81380 I'll be the judge of that. |
| 81381 It clearly is to you, though. So what're you offering? |
| 81382 I have nothing of value. |
| 81383 Knowledge is incredibly valuable. |
| 81384 Fine. You'll owe me a favor. |
| 81385 Then I guess it's not your lucky day. |
| 81386 Damn you! I'll take the cloak from your corpse! |
| 81387 Don't lie to me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 81388 All right, all right. No need to get your blood-soaked death shroud in a knot. Here, take it. |
| 81389 Did I say I didn't know where the cloak was? Sorry, I meant to say I've got it. |
| 81390 You call me a liar? |
| 81391 I've no patience for your games right now. Give me the cloak. |
| 81392 What're you offering in exchange? |
| 81393 I willâ€â€once you give me some answers. |
| 81394 Why do you want it? |
| 81395 I need that cloak if I'm to leave this place. |
| 81396 Perhaps it would be better if you didn't leave. |
| 81397 Then I guess we'd best find the thing. |
| 81398 You think you'll be allowed to leave? |
| 81399 Better for who? |
| 81400 For those who've yet to feel your cold embrace. |
| 81401 For me. You're trouble, Hexxat. Don't bother to deny it. |
| 81402 Best for everyone if I just put you down now, I think. |
| 81403 Don't judge my embrace before you feel one. You might like it. |
| 81404 We'll never know. |
| 81405 We'll never know. |
| 81406 Maybe someday I'll find out. |
| 81407 I might at that. Shall we find out? |
| 81408 That's something neither of us will enjoy if I don't get the cloak. |
| 81409 Find me the cloak first. Then... we'll talk. |
| 81410 Men have died to feel my embrace. |
| 81411 That was before you were embraced by Dragomir. |
| 81412 I'll bet they did. I, however, won't be one of them. |
| 81413 No more men will die for you, monster. |
| 81414 You'd truly leave me here to rot? |
| 81415 You are what you are. You mustn't be allowed to roam free. Goodbye, Hexxat. |
| 81416 If I had a lick of sense, I doubtless would. You're lucky I've no sense whatsoever. |
| 81417 Yes, but I'll send you to your final rest before I do so. |
| 81418 You'll try, at least. |
| 81419 We'll see about that. |
| 81420 You would stop me now? |
| 81421 I'll not deny itâ€â€if you don't deny there's a part of you that LIKES trouble. |
| 81422 As a rule, it's something I'd rather avoid. |
| 81423 You make it seem enticing. |
| 81424 I don't like trouble. I LOVE it. |
| 81425 Then find me the cloak and we'll go make some trouble together. |
| 81426 I've lost a dozen lifetimes in this bloody crypt, <PRO_RACE>. I'll not lose my last one to you. |
| 81427 I'm not averse to playing games, <CHARNAME>. But I'll not play this one with you. |
| 81428 I'll look forward to playing another then. Here, take the cloak. |
| 81429 Give it a try. You'll enjoy it, I promise. |
| 81430 Then we'll play another game. I call it Life and Death. Guess who wins? |
| 81431 You can give me the cloak now, or I'll take it later. The choice is yours. |
| 81432 Take it, then, but know I'm disappointed. You need to lighten up, woman. |
| 81433 Try and take it. I dare you. |
| 81434 Damn it! This didn't have to happen, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 81435 What do you want to know? |
| 81436 Who was the woman you murdered? |
| 81437 How did you come to be trapped in Dragomir's Tomb? |
| 81438 What use is the cloak to you? |
| 81439 Her name was Clara. She was nobody. Raised on a farm, came to Athkatla to be an actress. Ended up working on her back until an old thief took pity on her and taught her the craft. She wasn't bad at it, either. Not great, but passably skilled. |
| 81440 She'll never use those skills again, thanks to you. |
| 81441 A regrettable tale, but not an uncommon oneâ€â€up until its end, at any rate. How did she come to serve you? |
| 81442 And tasty. |
| 81443 Sometimes sacrifices have to be made. |
| 81444 What kind of person are you, to so casually dismiss the lives of others? |
| 81445 It's especially convenient when the sacrifices aren't yours. |
| 81446 A wise one. |
| 81447 An evil one. |
| 81448 What kind of person am I? I'm a survivor, <CHARNAME>. Nothing more and nothing less. |
| 81449 You have no idea what I sacrificed, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 81450 I know it's less than Clara did. |
| 81451 So explain it to me. I'm all ears. |
| 81452 Nor do I care. |
| 81453 Nonsense! You're five percent ear, at most. Now my cousin, Hambert, I tell you, there were a pair of ears. He could swat flies with those things. Unfortunately, he wasn't much on hygiene, was old Hammy. His left ear got stuffed full of flies, and the next thing you know, BAM! He's got maggots pouring out of his earhole. Now, for a lot of people, that would be a crippling blow, but Hambert was never one to look a gift larva in the mouth. Do larvae have mouths? They must, mustn't they? How else would they eat? |
| 81454 Shut yer bloody mouth, gnome. I've had enough o' yer bibble. |
| 81455 It was supposed to be a simple job. Break into a tomb, grab the guest of honor's helmet, and get out. |
| 81456 Who gave you the job? |
| 81457 Easy as sneezing. |
| 81458 I see you've got Dragomir's helm, so let's finish this job and get us both the hell out of here. |
| 81459 Things didn't go as planned. |
| 81460 So it seemed at first. |
| 81461 Getting in was easy. Talking my way past Burich wasn't much harder. I found Dragomir's body in what appeared to be a deep slumber. Took the helmet from his head, and that's when everything went to hell. What I didn't know was that the casque was cursed. Dragomir wasn't sleepingâ€â€he was paralyzed, at least until I removed his helm. Once it was off, he attacked. |
| 81462 I thank Dragomir's Casque for that. It is capable of more than the old monster ever knew. |
| 81463 What can it do? |
| 81464 It lets you control others? |
| 81465 It seems to me there's a bargain to be made here. A casque for a cloak seems like a fair trade. |
| 81466 Open necrotic portals. Let its wearer move from tomb to tomb. Two problems. First, the wards 'round Dragomir's Tomb kept the portals closed. Second, the casque paralyzes its wearer. |
| 81467 Which is why you thought he was asleep. You took the helmet off and he attacked. |
| 81468 That's... kind of a major design flaw. |
| 81469 I'm intrigued. Intrigued enough to part with my new cloak... if you'll part with the casque. |
| 81470 I didn't make the thing. |
| 81471 Anyway. I thought Dragomir was asleep. Took the casque... |
| 81472 And he woke up and turned you. |
| 81473 I think I know the rest of the story. |
| 81474 And paid the price for your ignorance. |
| 81475 Then he put the casque on me, to keep me paralyzed. I think it was meant as a cruel joke. |
| 81476 After I was turned, at the peak of my thirst, he put the casque on me, keeping me from feeding even on the vermin that infested the tomb. What he didn't realize was that the helm had other properties. |
| 81477 It took me years before I realized the voices in my head weren't just in my head. When I concentrated, I could hear the thoughts of those above. And with extreme effort, I could reach out to others who were most like me in life and, in some cases, guide them. |
| 81478 How many? How many did you lure down here to their deaths before we finally found our way to you? |
| 81479 Guide them to their deaths. |
| 81480 The helm lets you control the minds of other people? |
| 81481 A couple. A dozen. A hundred. Does it matter? |
| 81482 Just those who were like me. And the wearer cannot move with the casque on their head. |
| 81483 Wearing it must have been torture. |
| 81484 Have you tried using it without putting it on your head? |
| 81485 Even with the drawbacks, such an item has much potential. Hand it over. |
| 81486 No, and I'm not about to try. I've been trapped in this pit far too long as it is. |
| 81487 Then let me try. |
| 81488 You're going to let fear stop you? |
| 81489 Fair enough. Let's get out of here and then we can experiment a bit. |
| 81490 I'll risk it. Give me the casque, and you can have the cloak. |
| 81491 It wasn't pleasant. Now will you let me have the cloak or not? |
| 81492 I'm sorry for what you had to endure. Here is the cloak. |
| 81493 Can't do it. Sorry. |
| 81494 The cloak for the casque. A straight trade. |
| 81495 To the Abyss with you, then. |
| 81496 I won't apologize for doing what I had to do to survive. |
| 81497 And if I refuse to hand over the cloak? What will you do then? |
| 81498 Sometimes compromises have to be made. Here, take the cloak. I've no use for it. |
| 81499 Nor would I expect you to. |
| 81500 What I must. |
| 81501 Here then, take it. |
| 81502 A trade: You give me the casque, and I'll hand over the cloak. |
| 81503 Take your best shot, vampire. |
| 81504 Fear keeps people alive. |
| 81505 Now will you give me the cloak? |
| 81506 I'd burn it before I let a vampire walk around in daylight unimpeded. |
| 81507 Sure. What could possibly go wrong? |
| 81508 Will you give me the casque? |
| 81509 The only thing you'll get from me is a second, and more permanent, death. |
| 81510 Give me the cloak! |
| 81511 Take it, then. |
| 81512 First, tell me of this girl you killed. |
| 81513 I will, I will... after you tell me how you came to be imprisoned here. |
| 81514 And give a vampire the ability to wander around in daylight unimpeded? I think I'll hang onto the cloak a while longer, thank you very much. |
| 81515 I'll give you death, you sallow witch! |
| 81516 Tried that already. It didn't stick. |
| 81517 Satisfied now? Give me the cloak. |
| 81518 Very well. |
| 81519 Say "please." |
| 81520 I'll be satisfied when you're dead at my hand. |
| 81521 If you want to get technical about it, then yes. |
| 81522 No. |
| 81523 Then I guess you don't really want the cloak, do you? |
| 81524 You're no fun at all. Here, take the cloak. I've no use for it. |
| 81525 Then die a second time! |
| 81526 Enough of this talking. I need to go. Will you let me have the cloak or not? |
| 81527 I'd burn it before I handed it over to the likes of you. |
| 81528 Take it. |
| 81529 I think I'll keep it. |
| 81530 It protects the wearer from the sunlight. |
| 81531 Protects vampires from the sunlight, you mean. |
| 81532 Most cloaks do. They're also handy when it comes to dealing with wind, rain, and snow. |
| 81533 Not for vampires they don't. |
| 81534 Ah. I see. |
| 81535 Been a vampire long, have you? Lots of experience being out in the sun with cloaks? |
| 81536 I'm afraid that's your problem, not mine. |
| 81537 I know what happens to vampires in the sun, <CHARNAME>. And I'd rather it not happen to me. |
| 81538 No deal, <CHARNAME>. The helm's for someone else. |
| 81539 Who? |
| 81540 Are you trying to tell me there's honor among thieves? |
| 81541 The helm was for someone else. Now it is mine. |
| 81542 When I take a job, I finish it. |
| 81543 Who hired you to steal the casque? |
| 81544 Even after the job's gotten you turned into a vampire and trapped in a tomb for the gods know how many years? |
| 81545 Then I guess I'll just kill you and then I'll have the casque and the cloak both. |
| 81546 Damn you, <CHARNAME>! I didn't want to do this! |
| 81547 A job's a job. |
| 81548 Who was this job for? |
| 81549 You must really enjoy your work. |
| 81550 And a death's a deathâ€â€except when it isn't. |
| 81551 Enjoy it? No. But I am good at it. Now give me the cloak. |
| 81552 Who do you work for? |
| 81553 It's rare to find someone so good at their job they got turned into a vampire and stuck in a tomb for the gods know how long. |
| 81554 That's not going to happen. |
| 81555 We all experience setbacks from time to time. The cloak? |
| 81556 Here. It needs cleaning, but it should keep the sun off you. |
| 81557 Who were you doing this job for? |
| 81558 You're about to experience your final setback, vampire. |
| 81559 We'll see, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 81560 I don't know his true name. He goes by "L." |
| 81561 You don't know his identity, but still you do his bidding? |
| 81562 Wait, you're telling me you work for L? THE L? |
| 81563 You let someone you don't know pull your strings. No wonder you came to a bad end. |
| 81564 You know him? |
| 81565 Anonymity is highly valued by many in my business. L's intelligence was always accurate, and he always paid in full, on time. Now, if you please: Hand over the cloak. |
| 81566 Fine, take it. |
| 81567 L's intelligence seems to have fallen short on this occasion. |
| 81568 I think I'll keep the cloak a little longer. |
| 81569 I'm not ended yet. |
| 81570 Perhaps you should be. |
| 81571 You're resilient and resourceful. I'll give you that. I'll also give you this cloak, but you owe me a favor. |
| 81572 That's where you're wrong. |
| 81573 I don't deal in perhaps. Now, if you'd be so good as to hand over the cloak? |
| 81574 It's yours. Take it. |
| 81575 You'll pay me back for this, Hexxat. One way or another. |
| 81576 You'll get the cloak over my dead body. |
| 81577 If that's how you want to play it. |
| 81578 I'd done countless jobs for L in the past. There hadn't been problemsâ€â€not serious problemsâ€â€before this one. |
| 81579 I hope you'll take these issues up with him when next you meet. Here is the cloak. |
| 81580 The problems on this job got you killed. And brought back to life, admittedly, but even still. Being turned into a vampire and imprisoned for years is no small thing. |
| 81581 Look on the bright side, Hexxatâ€â€your problems are about to come to a permanent end. |
| 81582 I'll be taking the matter up with L, believe me. Now, the cloak? |
| 81583 Here, take it. |
| 81584 I can't let you have the cloak, Hexxat. Sorry. |
| 81585 It stays with me. |
| 81586 You aren't sorry. Not yet. But you will be. |
| 81587 Curse you, <CHARNAME>! We could've done good work together. |
| 81588 The top of the ancient stone tomb slides away in an unnaturally easy fashion. Within you can see only darkness, and feel only a cold rush of air from within. |
| 81589 (Climb into the tomb.) |
| 81590 (Leave the tomb alone.) |

| 81610 Hold, traveler. These woods are not safe; has no one warned you of the peril surrounding you? |
| 81611 Blood Drain In order to survive, a vampire needs sustenance. This ability will drain the target of 1-4 Constitution and knock the target unconscious for 5 rounds. Saving Throw: Save vs. Death |
| 81612 Children of the Night |
| 81613 Children of the Night When the vampire uses this ability, 1d4 creatures of darkness emerge from the shadows. As the vampire gains levels, the creatures summoned become more powerful. Level 1-10: Summon 1d4 rats Level 11-20: Summon 1d4 wolves Level 21-30: Summon 1d4 shadows |
| 81614 I haven't been told much about these woods. Who might you be, stranger, and what dangers lie ahead? |
| 81615 Dominate |
| 81616 (unused) description for Hexxats Dominate ability |
| 81617 Let me guessâ€â€you're the thing that makes them unsafe? |
| 81618 Fast Healing |
| 81619 If it is indeed peril that surrounds us, then I am in my element. |
| 81620 I am Geld, and the dangers ahead are many indeedâ€â€rabid bears, old and forgotten hunting traps, and there have even been sightings of a ravenous wolf pack in the area. These are hostile woods indeed for ones such as yourself, er... what was your name, friend? |
| 81621 (unused) description for Hexxats fast healing ability. |
| 81622 I am <CHARNAME>. Tell me, Geld, what brings you to these hostile woods? |
| 81623 My name will come later. First, tell me why you are so conveniently here to warn me of these supposed dangers. |
| 81624 Kind friend, do I look to be in a position to challenge one such as yourself? Why, you are brimming with weaponryâ€â€and I, Geld, am but a simple peddler of useful things. |
| 81625 Useful things? |
| 81626 You're too modest. |
| 81627 You do indeed look to be capable. But even one such as yourself cannot ignore dangers such as old and forgotten hunting traps, rabid bears, and even a pack of ravenous wolves. These woods are dangerous, er... what was your name again, friend? Perhaps I was rude earlier; I neglected to introduce myselfâ€â€I am Geld. |
| 81628 I make my living in this world peddling whatever trinkets or useful pieces of information I can acquire. A disgrace to some, perhaps, but I am kept fed. Perhaps better fed than others. |
| 81629 And what's for sale right now? |
| 81630 I have a feeling you're about to sell me something intangible. |
| 81631 I see how it is. Begone, merchant! You will not see a single coin from me! |
| 81632 Ah, hello, <CHARNAME>. My presence here is purely coincidental, I assure you. I am passing through this area on my way to Crimmor, and I thought that you would be interested in something I have for sale. |
| 81633 Something for sale? |
| 81634 I see how it is. Begone, merchant! You will not see a single coin from me! |
| 81635 Despite great personal danger, I've scouted a path through the woods ahead that will allow you to travel unharmed. I feel, and you must forgive me for being crass, that I deserve payment in exchange for knowledge of this path. The sum I ask for is a mere 5,000 gold pieces. |
| 81636 A steep price, but can safety truly have a price tag? Take your gold, Geld. |
| 81637 I cannot afford such a price. |
| 81638 5,000 gold pieces? Are you mad, stupid, or both? |
| 81639 Begone, merchant! You will not see a single coin from me! |
| 81640 Be at ease, my friend! I am simply passing through this area on my way to Crimmor, and I thought you would be interested in something I have for sale. |
| 81641 Intangibles can be of great utility, friend. Despite great personal danger, I've scouted a path through the woods ahead that will allow you to travel unharmed. I feel, and you must forgive me for being crass, that I deserve payment in exchange for knowledge of this path. The sum I ask for is a mere 5,000 gold pieces. |
| 81642 I see. Well, take time to heed my warning on the path aheadâ€â€it may be even worse than I had described. |
| 81643 Perhaps I was... too aggressive in my pricing. I realize now that, were I to lower my price, we would both still benefit enormously. What about 2,500 gold pieces? |
| 81644 A sizable discount, I suppose. Very well, take your gold. |
| 81645 Ah, well, because I do not wish to hear your cries of agony and pain from miles away, I will reduce my price so that we can both prosper. 4,500 gold pieces is my final offer. |
| 81646 That is still a daunting price, but very well. |
| 81647 An offer I cannot afford, I'm afraid. |
| 81648 Marvelous, simply marvelous. You've made the right decision today, friend. Beyond me the path continues to the left, but I have cleared a path through the brush to the right. Keep your eyes open and you won't miss it. Do not stray from the path I have described, or your safety cannot be assured. |
| 81649 Very well. Goodbye, Geld. |
| 81650 So I've just paid 5,000 gold pieces for "turn right up ahead"? |
| 81651 I think I've just been cheated. How about you give me my gold back, and I don't split your head like a log? |
| 81652 Oh, be kind, surely you know that anyone CAN navigate through a forest... but it takes honed skill to know HOW to navigate through. Goodbye, my friend. Perhaps we shall see each other in the future. |
| 81653 I'm sorry, but obviously I can't offer refunds when selling information. Before things get out of hand, I'll take my leave of you. |
| 81654 What did I tell you, friend? Dangerous woods. Quite dangerous indeed. |
| 81655 If people don't pay you, you attack them with your pack of mangy dogs? Is that the racket? |
| 81656 Step aside. Your dogs don't scare me. |
| 81657 What is it you want, exactly? |
| 81658 Keeps us fed. |
| 81659 That's fine. They're not here to scare you to death; they've got teeth for that. |
| 81660 Isn't it obvious? |
| 81661 The spike trap ripped MY cloak, so I should get the belt. I'm the one suffering material loss here! |
| 81662 Calm yourself, Dalton. We came here to acquire the belt for Jaden. We all agreed she would keep it and we would split the rest of the treasure. |
| 81663 Ye know damn well that we only agreed to such a pact on the condition that there WAS treasure t' be found in that damn tomb! |
| 81664 There was PLENTY of treasure in there, and if you hadn't awoken the basilisk, we'd still be able to get it. |
| 81665 Oh, I'm sorry, who thought the statues were so lifelike they simply MUST have been people turned to stone? By Moradin's hammer, how stupid can you get, girlie? |
| 81666 That cloak was a family heirloom! |
| 81667 Empty Casket |
| 81668 You are all senseless morons! I deserve the belt because I broke that mummy's neck! The victor gets the spoils, and I AM THE VICTOR. |
| 81669 And you knocked out half the tomb's support pillars doing it, dropping a few tons of rock onto all those magical weapons. This disaster is your fault! |
| 81670 This coffin seems to be magically bound within the bag of holding where it was found, and cannot be removed. Its true size allows a person of average build to easily fit inside. |
| 81671 Says the one who flooded the chamber with clouds of noxious gas. Hojar was half-blind and coughing his lungs out in there! |
| 81672 Hello there. Am I interrupting? |
| 81673 Hexxat's Bag |
| 81674 Sounds like you need some time to yourself. I'll just be on my way. |
| 81675 That belt sounds interesting. |
| 81676 Don't move, stranger. What are you doin' here? You're not one of those damned monks, are you? |
| 81677 This is a modified bag of holding that belonged to Dragomir the Warlord, a powerful vampire. In his endless military campaigns, Dragomir was frequently at the forefront of battle. Despite his vampiric abilities, he was cut down on more than one occasion. Upon reverting to a gaseous form, he would have to travel a long distance back to his camp before he could enter his coffin to regenerate. Turning to the magical arts once again, Dragomir had his coffin placed within a bag of holding and had it magically bound so that it could not be removed. Then, when he was cut down, he only had to travel a short way to a trusted knight that held the bag for him. It was this trust, however, that ultimately resulted in him being betrayed and entombed for centuries. The bag itself is a common cloth sack of about two feet by four feet in size. It opens into a non-dimensional space, with its inside being vastly larger than the outside. Regardless of whatever is placed into this bag, it will always have the same weight. Though a bag of holding has no atmosphere within, vampires have no need to breathe and can rest inside comfortably. STATISTICS: Weight: 5 |
| 81678 Not really, no. I am <CHARNAME>. Who might you be? |
| 81679 I'm simply passing through. What's all this about a belt? |
| 81680 Yes. And there's fifty more behind me looking for some rear ends to practice kicks on. |
| 81681 I am Cless Ironeye, leader of the Vagrant Blades. Perhaps you've heard of us? |
| 81682 I can't say that I have. |
| 81683 Cloak of Dragomir |
| 81684 Sure I do, good ol' Ironeye and her band of misfits. I've heard of your exploits in taverns up and down the Sword Coast! |
| 81685 Nope. The belt. What's so special about it? |
| 81686 We were just, uh, discussing our plans to divvy up the treasure from our latest adventure. Slim pickings, uh, nothing you'd be interested in. |
| 81687 This cloak was crafted and imbued with powerful undead magic by the necromancer Zulann Fass while she was in the employ of the warlord Dragomir. Dragomir had been turned to vampirism and, not wanting to leave his previous life behind, demanded that Zulann craft a magical garment that would allow him to travel in the light of the sun without being destroyed. While Zulann was successful, the cloak severely dampened many of the vampiric abilities that Dragomir had come to enjoy. For this inconvenience, she was drained of her lifeblood by Dragomir and left to die. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Allows a vampire to travel outside during the day and in full view of the sun, albeit with the following penalties: Strength: -6 Dexterity: -4 Intelligence: -2 Wisdom: -2 Charisma: -4 Wearable only by vampires.

| 81688 Slim pickings me arse. That belt is mine! |
| 81689 No! We agreed it would be mine! Stay back, you belligerent dwarf! |
| 81690 As you can see, we are, uh, deadlocked for the time being. |
| 81691 Perhaps I could help. I've been known to provide counsel in the past. |
| 81692 Casque of Dragomir |
| 81693 I've got a great idea: Give the belt to me. |
| 81694 I think I shall take my leave of this situation. Goodbye. |
| 81695 The Casque of Dragomir was constructed by his followers when they realized that his vampiric lust for power and destruction would ultimately be their undoing. Both fearing and respecting Dragomir, they decided to immobilize and entomb him rather than attempt to destroy him. In pursuing this plan, they crafted the Casque. When placed upon the head of an undead creature, powerful magic stuns the wearer and prevents them from moving entirely while the casque remains on their head. Hexxat, not realizing this, erroneously woke Dragomir from his slumber when she attempted to steal the Casque. The Casque of Dragomir is a powerful nexus of undead magic and has many interesting properties that go beyond what the creators had intended. STATISTICS: Weight: 3 |
| 81696 Blast! To arms, we'll get out of this one yet! |
| 81697 Blast, we've drawn too much attention to our Wait, really? You're not just... messing with us? |
| 81698 No, truly. I am devoted to Shar, and all that shadowy night killing business. |
| 81699 A joke, I assure you. I am <CHARNAME>; who might you be? |
| 81700 Oh. Uh... well... all right. In any case, we're do |
| 81701 Give me that belt, girl! Give it to me before I come over there and rip it from your soft, frail body! |
| 81702 Cless, keep him away from me! He can't have the belt; we had an agreement! |
| 81703 Really? I knew we'd made some waves recently, but I'd never imagined we... we'd... oh. I see. You're mocking us. Ha. You're a real sweetheart. |
| 81704 What are you doing out here? |
| 81705 Truly? You'd be willing to settle our disagreement in an impartial manner? |
| 81706 Certainly. |
| 81707 I don't know about impartial. I have a fondness for sudden ironic reversals of fortune. |
| 81708 Actually, I think I'd rather take the belt for myself. |
| 81709 I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave you to your own devices. Goodbye. |
| 81710 You won't be the first to fall to the Vagrant Blades! |
| 81711 I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try. Everyone, lay out your claim to the belt. Jaden, you start. Dalton, Aldun, you go next. Hojar, you go after Aldun. |
| 81712 That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, but I suppose it's worth a shot. Everyone, lay out your claim to the belt, starting with Jaden. Dalton and Aldun will go next, and Hojar can go last. |
| 81713 Hmph! |
| 81714 The belt was in my family for generations. It's magically attuned to our bloodline! I can use it in ways no other person could. Plus, we already agreed I would get the belt and everyone else would share the rest of the tomb's treasure. |
| 81715 Oh, come off it. That belt is as attuned to you as it is to a rock. Just 'cuz your granddad had it a few seasons doesn't mean it's an heirloom. I deserve the belt because my enchanted cloak was torn and rendered useless while we fled from those hook horrors. I deserve compensation! No, I DEMAND compensation! |
| 81716 I don't know what kind o' tripe that girlie will try to fill yer ears with, but th' agreement was only valid if there was other treasure to be had in th' damn tomb! I deserve the belt more than that manic pixie; I'm a far more talented spellcaster than she is! |
| 81717 Shut up, little man. I deserve the belt. I delivered the killing blow to the lizardfolk chieftain, and I kicked over the cauldron of foul poison before everyone was dropped into it! I'm the reason everyone always survives, but your memories always fall short! |
| 81718 And there you have itâ€â€four very articulate points of view. What do ya think? |
| 81719 I believe Jaden should receive the belt. |
| 81720 It's Dalton who should get the belt. |
| 81721 Clearly Aldun deserves the belt. |
| 81722 In my estimation, Hojar deserves the belt. |
| 81723 I've decided that I deserve the belt. |
| 81724 Wait, what does the belt do, exactly? |
| 81725 What does it DO? What DOESN'T it do?! Oh, the things it does. |
| 81726 Useless twit! The belt is enchanted; it allows the wearer t' be shielded from hostile magic. It won't make ye invincible, but it's a far sight better than the ox tail I've been usin' to keep my breeches up! |
| 81727 Well, that explains that. What say you, mediator? |
| 81728 I believe Jaden should receive the belt. |
| 81729 Very well. I will abide by your decision. Jaden, you get the belt. |
| 81730 Yes! YES! Ahahahahahahahahaha, I win! I'm the winner! Take that, you bulbous-nosed grump! |
| 81731 Why, ye insolent little... I'll kill ye for that remark! I'LL KILL YE ALL! |
| 81732 By the gods, RUN! |
| 81733 Get outta here! |
| 81734 Very well, I will abide by your decision. Dalton gets the belt. |
| 81735 What'd I tell ya? Justice will always prevail! Thanks a pantload, stranger. Life is always in balance: You lose something, and then you gain something! |
| 81736 Shut up! SHUT UP! SHUT YOUR HEAD HOLE, LITTLE MAN! YOU'RE DEAD! DEAD! |
| 81737 Now ye've gone and done it. Get going! |
| 81738 This is the real deal! Everyone get out of here before he snaps you in two! |
| 81739 Very well. I will abide by your decision. Aldun can have the belt. |
| 81740 Heh heh, a wise choice. I'll do far more with this belt than ye could ever have imagined! A young thing like you wouldn't know where to get started with some equipment like this. |
| 81741 No! That belt belongs to my family, my bloodline! Give it to me or I'll rip it from your dead... your... d-dea... argghhhh! |
| 81742 She's a WHAT? Get out of here, run! |
| 81743 Er, I left something grilling back at the camp! |
| 81744 Very well. I will abide by your decision. Hojar gets the belt. |
| 81745 Haha! Everything's coming up HOJAR! |
| 81746 What? WHAT? HE gets the belt, and I'm left with nothing but a ripped cloak? This is unacceptable; it's tantamount to backstabbing! If I won't be compensated in treasure, I'll take it out of your hides! |
| 81747 You deal with this. I need to go enjoy my new belt! |
| 81748 Hojar?! Get backâ€â€all right, new plan! Everyone flee! |
| 81749 Right, move outâ€â€we'll settle this back at the camp. |
| 81750 I met a well-spoken man by the name of Geld in the woods. He was interested in selling me information on how to push through the forest without running into trouble, but I brushed him off. |
| 81751 I met a well-spoken man by the name of Geld in the woods. He was interested in selling me information on how to push through the forest without running into trouble. I paid him, and he described a fork in the path where we should dip into the woods on the right. I question the value of the information I purchased. |
| 81752 Geld was running a racket. He jumped me with a pack of wolves further down the path. Who could have guessed a strange man accosting me in the forest would turn out to be trouble? |
| 81753 I encountered a group of adventurers known as the Vagrant Blades. They were squabbling over a magical belt of some sort, and it sounded like they had just finished plundering some tomb. I left them to decide for themselves. |

| 81768 No. Please continue. |
| 81769 Have you found the cloak yet? |
| 81770 I have, but I'll not give it to you. |
| 81771 Indeed I have. Here, take it. |
| 81772 No, not yet. |
| 81773 Do you really need the thing? |
| 81774 And if I have? What's it worth to you? |
| 81775 Have mercy, <CHARNAME>. Give me the cloak and you'll not find me unappreciative. |
| 81776 For pity's sake, help me, <CHARNAME>. Without that cloak, I'll never be free of this place. |
| 81777 I'm sure you'll do fine, cloak or no. You strike me as a resourceful woman. |
| 81778 What kind of talk is that? There are dozens, hundreds of vampires who get along just fine without protective cloaks. Come, join me. I'll take care of you. |
| 81779 Then you'll never be free of this place. |
| 81780 I'll join you, but you'd find me a more pleasant companion if I had that cloak about my shoulders. |
| 81781 You strike me as someone who could use a resourceful woman. |
| 81782 I am at that. |
| 81783 You would join my company? |
| 81784 One I could trust, yes. I don't believe you qualify. |
| 81785 Give me the cloak, and you'll find me most appreciative. |
| 81786 Here then. But remember, you owe me for this. |
| 81787 Tempting, but I think I'll hold on to it for the moment. |
| 81788 It'll take more than "appreciation" for me to hand it over. |
| 81789 I'm afraid that's all I can offerâ€â€at least until I get the cloak. |
| 81790 Take it then, but don't forget, you owe me. |
| 81791 That's unfortunate for you. |
| 81792 Only if I want to survive. |
| 81793 I'm sure you'll do fine, cloak or no. You strike me as a resourceful woman. |
| 81794 What kind of talk is that? There are dozens, hundreds of vampires who get along just fine without protective cloaks. Come, join me. I'll take care of you. |
| 81795 Then I fear you're doomed. |
| 81796 Ah! It feels like I'm wearing a wet rug and is nowhere near as fetching. |
| 81797 What's the matter? |
| 81798 You're right about that. |
| 81799 Is it something that affects you, or something that affects me? |
| 81800 I'm sorry to hear that. |
| 81801 Nothing... It's nothing. For a moment, I feltâ€â€different. The protection spells were rougher than I expected. |
| 81802 So you're all right? |
| 81803 Protection spells that hurt the wearer. Dragomir had a... unique perspective, didn't he? |
| 81804 Good. |
| 81805 Fine. I'm fine. There's business I must attend to. Meet me at the Coronet in two hours. |
| 81806 Is that a good idea? Perhaps you should stick with me for the time being. |
| 81807 That's it? You get the cloak and you leave? |
| 81808 You're not going anywhere, vampire. |
| 81809 You're right. If L's waited this long, another few hours won't hurt him. |
| 81810 That's it. |
| 81811 And how do you think you'll stop me, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 81812 By appealing to your survival instinct. You're new to this undead life of yours. Until you're more familiar with your abilities, you should keep yourself surrounded by those you can trust. |
| 81813 I'll ask. REALLY. NICELY. Please don't go yet. You've just woken up after years of slumber. You shouldn't be alone right now. |
| 81814 Any way I can. I've made an investment in you. You'll stay with me until it's paid off. |
| 81815 All right. L's waited this long to hear from me; another few hours won't kill him. |
| 81816 You think I can trust you, then? |
| 81817 I am? |
| 81818 I was joking. What's the problem? |
| 81819 Don't worry. You manage to pull it off. Are you all right? |
| 81820 You've more important things to worry about than your looks. |
| 81821 Ah! My eyes! |
| 81822 Are you all right? |
| 81823 I'll surviveâ€â€more than I could say if I wasn't wearing Dragomir's Cloak. At least I know the rag works now. |
| 81824 Boo says smoking isn't healthy. |
| 81825 False dawn trap. If I'd been a fraction slower, it would have killed me. |
| 81826 Such is the price a vampire pays. |
| 81827 For an old broad, you're pretty quick. |
| 81828 A shame you weren't a little slower. It would have saved me a little effort. |
| 81829 I wouldn't have to pay it if you'd given me Dragomir's Cloak. |
| 81830 I shouldn't be so selfish. Here, take it. |
| 81831 You're not going to let that one go, are you? Fine, here it is, take it. You're WELCOME. |
| 81832 Get used to paying the price, woman. You're not getting the cloak. |
| 81833 Killing me will take more than a little effort, <CHARNAME>! |
| 81834 That's where you're wrong, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 81835 Old? |
| 81836 I meant only that you've been trapped down here for a good many years. All things considered, you look fabulous. |
| 81837 No, not old. Well-worn. Experienced. Durable. |
| 81838 What else could I call it? |
| 81839 Shut up. |
| 81840 Gladly. |
| 81841 I wouldn't need to worry about the false dawn if I had Dragomir's cloak. |
| 81842 Here, then. Take it. |
| 81843 I wouldn't have needed to worry about an insane vampire trying to kill me if you hadn't brought me here. Life is a series of challenges. |
| 81844 It's unfortunate that you don't have it, then. |
| 81845 Not as unfortunate as it's about to become for you. |
| 81846 I'd not mention it at all, and I suggest you do the same. |
| 81847 As you wish. |
| 81848 Mention what? I mention nothing. NOTHING. |
| 81849 Feeling your age, Hexxat? |
| 81850 Hand it over, <PRO_RACE>. This is your last chance. |
| 81851 I dislike ultimatums. |
| 81852 Ah, the hell with you. Take it. |
| 81853 You know what this is? This is me squandering my last chance. What are you going to do about it? |
| 81854 Perhaps death will be more to your liking! |
| 81855 I'll show you! |
| 81856 I'll feel your blood pouring down my throat if you don't give me Dragomir's Cloak. |
| 81857 It's yours. The smell was beginning to get to me anyway. |
| 81858 Here, take it. You could've just said please, you know. |
| 81859 Try it, witch. |
| 81860 Die! |
| 81861 You came. I'm glad. |
| 81862 Surprised? |
| 81863 Your gladness warms my heart. My living, still-beating heart. |
| 81864 I'm not here for you. |
| 81865 No, but I wouldn't have been surprised if you hadn't shown up, either. |
| 81866 Have you taken care of your business? |
| 81867 It was a close call, I must admit. What will you do now? |
| 81868 Then you won't be surprised when I leave now, either. |
| 81869 My employer is aware of the situation. He'll be in contact in due course, I'm sure. Until then, I may do as I wish. |
| 81870 And what do you wish? |
| 81871 By which you mean going places, meeting interesting new people, killing them, and drinking their blood. |
| 81872 Good luck on whatever you choose to pursue. |
| 81873 The question is what you wish, <CHARNAME>. |
| 81874 You may join me and my friends, if you want. |
| 81875 What I wish is that I'd never heard the name Hexxat. Farewell, vampire. We'll not meet again. |
| 81876 Someone of your skills could be of great use to me. Why not join me and my friends? |
| 81877 What I wish is that I'd killed you in Dragomir's Tomb. But better late than never, I suppose. |
| 81878 I thought you'd never ask. |
| 81879 Do you want that? |
| 81880 Of course. |
| 81881 You ate the last person who worked with you. Let's say I'm of two minds on the issue. |
| 81882 Don't play games with me, vampire. I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise. |
| 81883 Not the most inviting of invitations, but it's the best I've had in some time. Very well, I'll join you. |
| 81884 Very well. I accept. |
| 81885 Damn you for a fool, <CHARNAME>! It didn't have to be like this! |
| 81886 Are we going to have a problem here, <CHARNAME>? |
| 81887 No. No problems. |
| 81888 You tell me. |
| 81889 Just one, but it'll be over soon. |
| 81890 Excellent. We'll do great things together, you and I. |
| 81891 You would join me? |
| 81892 I'm not sure our definitions of "great things" are completely in alignment. |
| 81893 You better be right, Hexxat. |
| 81894 Mutually rewarding things, then. |
| 81895 I can live with that. Provided my new ally doesn't kill me, of course. |

| 81910 We can be good for each other, you and I. |
| 81911 I don't think so. |
| 81912 I hope you're right. I'll admit part of me looks forward to finding out. |
| 81913 So far, I've been very good for you. How good you are for me remains to be seen. We'll find out. Soon. |
| 81914 Use your imagination, <CHARNAME>. |
| 81915 I have been. That's why I'm so nervous having you around. |
| 81916 Stick around awhile. I'm sure I'll come up with something. |
| 81917 But you will have me around. |
| 81918 If that is what you wish. |
| 81919 Best to have you near, I think. That way I can keep an eye on you. |
| 81920 I'll have you, vampire. For now. |
| 81921 Keep both eyes on me. You won't be disappointed. |
| 81922 I'll try to limit the killing and blood-drinking to boring people. |
| 81923 You try to turn cold-blooded murder into a joke. I cannot be around you. |
| 81924 I'll admire your restraint, just as soon as I see it. |
| 81925 Well, you certainly won't be going hungry that way. Will you stay on with me for a whileâ€â€at least until your employer contacts you again? |
| 81926 Are you sure of that? |
| 81927 Very. |
| 81928 Pretty sure. A solid seventy-five percent sure, at least. |
| 81929 You lured me into a mad vampire's tomb. What makes you think I have any regard for you whatsoever? |
| 81930 The fact that you're here. |
| 81931 I've a favor I must ask you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 81932 Of course, Hexxat. |
| 81933 I've been expecting this. Look, Hexxat, you're lovely, in a faintly terrifying way, and I like you very muchâ€â€as a friend. What I'm saying is, I'm sorry, but I'm not really interested. |
| 81934 I think you grow too comfortable asking things of me, Hexxat. |
| 81935 Are you quite finished? Good. |
| 81936 I need you to hold on to this for me. |
| 81937 What is it? |
| 81938 A sack? Why? |
| 81939 Hold onto it yourself. |
| 81940 This is not something I ask lightly, I assure you. |
| 81941 This was Dragomir's secret weaponâ€â€a way to easily transport his coffin wherever he traveled. It gave him an incalculable advantage in the campaigns he waged. He had his trusted lieutenants hold the bag. In the event that he was struck down, the means of his regeneration would be close at hand. |
| 81942 And you trust me with it? I'm honored. |
| 81943 Ah, I don't know if I'm the right <PRO_MANWOMAN> to be hanging onto that for you... |
| 81944 An ingenious device. |
| 81945 You should be. My life is literally in your hands now. |
| 81946 I'm putting my life in your hands here, <CHARNAME>. Don't let me down. |
| 81947 It's not an ideal arrangement, I'll admit. But my options are limited at the moment. |
| 81948 You're late, <CHARNAME>. |
| 81949 Better late than never. |
| 81950 You should be glad I showed up at all. |

| 81952 I'm not here for you. |
| 81953 You greet me with a cliché? I expected better of you. |
| 81954 I'm sorry to have disappointed you. Have you taken care of your outstanding business? |
| 81955 Stick with me. I'll soon fix that. |
| 81956 There's a lesson for you there. Unfortunately, it will be your last. |
| 81957 My employer is aware of my situation. He'll be in contact in due course, I'm sure. Until then, I may do as I wish. |
| 81958 And what do you wish? |

| 81967 I thought you'd never ask. |
| 81968 Is that what you want? |
| 81969 Of course. |
| 81970 You ate the last person who worked with you. Let's say I'm of two minds on the issue. |
| 81971 Don't play games with me, vampire. I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise. |
| 81972 Acorn of Yarrow |
| 81973 One of the more backhanded invitations I've received, but it's the best I've had in some time. Very well, I'll join you. |
| 81974 Very well. I accept. |
| 81975 Damn you for a fool, <CHARNAME>! It didn't have to be like this! |
| 81976 We can be good for each other, you and I. |

| 81978 I don't think so. |
| 81979 I hope you're right. I'll admit part of me looks forward to finding out. |
| 81980 So far, I've been very good for you. How good you are for me remains to be seen. We'll find out. Soon. |
| 81981 Stick around awhile. I'm sure I'll come up with something. |
| 81982 I'll try to limit the killing and blood-drinking to boring people. |
| 81983 You try to turn cold-blooded murder into a joke. I cannot be around you. |
| 81984 The Abyssal Blade |
| 81985 I'll admire your restraint, just as soon as I see it. |
| 81986 Well, you certainly won't be going hungry that way. Will you stay on with me for a whileâ€â€at least until your employer contacts you again? |
| 81987 Are you sure of that? |
| 81988 Very. |
| 81989 Pretty sure. A solid seventy-five percent sure, at least. |
| 81990 You lured me into a mad vampire's tomb. What makes you think I have any regard for you whatsoever? |
| 81991 I hold myself in very high esteem, and rightly so. |
| 81992 The Claw of the Black Leopard |
| 81993 The Claw of the Black Leopard is a bejeweled rod that was once wielded by Nan Kung Chi, high priest of the Black Leopard Cult. With the rod, Nan Kung Chi was able to summon a demonic spirit cat to slay his foes. Nan Kung Chi was eventually defeated by the legendary Tan Chin and his blood-brother, Kar Wuan, when Tan Chin shattered the links of ivory chain that bound the panther to Nan Kung Chi's will. While the rod can no longer summon the panther, it still retains a powerful aura of magic. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |

| 82030 The face of this finely detailed brooch features an impossibly detailed scene of an adventurer battling a troll. The image seems to have no connection to the jewelry's enchantment, which allows the wearer to reflect magic missiles back at their attacker. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Reflects magic missiles back at the attacker Weight: 0 |
| 82031 This is a frayed belt made from a preserved ox tail. Why anyone would create such an ugly thing is beyond your understandingâ€â€you suspect it might possess a magical enchantment or two. Despite the constant ridicule the belt attracts, it seems to substantially reduce the odds of being struck by projectiles. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +4 vs. missile attacks – Charisma: -2 Weight: 2 |
| 82032 When worn, this belt causes nervousness, shaking, and profuse sweating. The effect is temporary and fades after the belt is removed. The belt's origins have long been lost to timeâ€â€one can only surmise that it was intended as some sort of cruel joke. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Each time the wearer is hit, there is a 5% chance of <PRO_HIMHER> receiving a temporary Minor Globe of Invulnerability that lasts for 2 turns Charge abilities: – Minor Globe of Invulnerability once per day Special: User is immune to 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-level spells Duration: 2 turns Weight: 2 |

| 82037 Daravorn Kheld was gifted with great talents in the field of thievery and felt that it would be a disservice to the world if he were to perish, and so he commissioned the creation of this ring. Merely putting the ring on causes the outline of the wearer to become shifting and wavering, making it more difficult to spot <PRO_HIMHER> from a distance and target <PRO_HIMHER> with missile weapons. When activated, several exact duplicates of the ring wearer spring up from nowhere. These images do exactly what the original does, making it impossible for opponents to be certain which are the illusions. The effect is fleeting, however, and is best used to escape an unruly situation. Daravorn successfully escaped many potential dangers using this ring, but was eventually captured and drowned within an enclosed water trap.

| 82040 Watch your tongue, woman. |
| 82041 Let's find out how death suits you, cow! |
| 82042 Wait, <CHARNAME>. Cabrina's a friend. |
| 82043 A friend, though I long to be so much more... |
| 82044 I like you, <PRO_GIRLBOY>. You have sass. |
| 82045 I am Cabrina. |
| 82046 She brings word from my employer, L. At least, I assume she does. |
| 82047 And you assume that because...? |
| 82048 And what is the word from L? Probably too much to hope it'd be "sorry." |
| 82049 This L sent you to Dragomir's Tomb. He nearly destroyed you. Why would you care about anything he says? |
| 82050 I care nothing for what L has to say, and neither should you. |
| 82051 I was given an assignment. I've yet to finish it. |
| 82052 Leave it unfinished. Nobody would hold that against you. |
| 82053 I don't understand you, Hexxat. |
| 82054 Then you'll finish it without my help. |
| 82055 L would. He was disappointed to learn of your returnâ€â€disappointed, that is, because he didn't hear it from you. |
| 82056 I trusted word would get to him eventuallyâ€â€and now, here you are. |
| 82057 He was also less than thrilled to hear of your vampire turn. |
| 82058 L would. He wasn't pleased to learn of your vampire turn, Hexxat. |
| 82059 I took a job. I'll finish it. |
| 82060 You'll try to, anyway. L wasn't pleased to learn of your turning. |
| 82061 L wasn't pleased to learn of your vampire turn, Hexxat. |
| 82062 I wasn't thrilled with it myself. |
| 82063 He believes you were of more use to him alive. |
| 82064 I'll just have to prove him wrong. |
| 82065 If I were you, I'd be careful to make sure this next mission goes smoothly. You wouldn't want to disappoint him. |
| 82066 What is the mission? |
| 82067 Oh yes, heavens forfend you should disappoint L, after he nearly got you killed in Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 82068 I believe I detect a threat there. |
| 82069 Just an observation. I'd hate to see anything happen to Hexxat. Anything more, I mean. |
| 82070 What does L want? |
| 82071 Hexxat's a professional. She knew the risks when she took the job. |
| 82072 He requires a scepter once possessed by Nan Kung Chi, first high priest to the Cult of the Black Leopard. |
| 82073 Where is this scepter? |
| 82074 Who possesses it now? |
| 82075 If he requires it, he should go get it. Now begone. |
| 82076 The crypts of Durkon. |
| 82077 The crypts of Durkon are in Shou Lung. |
| 82078 Room of Pain Monk |
| 82079 Room of Pain Monk Leader |
| 82080 Sounds like you've quite a journey ahead of you. |
| 82081 I've always wanted to visit Shou Lung. |
| 82082 She mocks you, Hexxat. Make her pay for her impertinence. |
| 82083 Durkon's crypts are but a step away from Amn's graveyard for she who holds the Casque of Dragomir. It allows its user to tombwalkâ€â€one house of the dead is connected to all others by threads that the Casque can expand and allow travel through. I don't imagine I need to tell you not to don the helm? No. Good. Then go and get L the Claw of the Black Leopard. Report back as soon as you've done so. |
| 82084 It will be done. |
| 82085 What matters is that L possess it, and soon. You can find the Clawâ€â€that's what the scepter is called, the Claw of the Black Leopardâ€â€in the crypts of Durkon. |
| 82086 Oh, yes. Do make me pay. |
| 82087 You'd enjoy it too much. |
| 82088 Enjoy something too much? Is that even possible? |
| 82089 I'd rather you join me on this expedition, <CHARNAME>, but you need to know I'll be going with or without you. |
| 82090 Very well. Where is the scepter? |
| 82091 L very nearly got you killedâ€â€technically, he did get you killed! How can you now race to do his bidding? |
| 82092 Perhaps I'll see you when you return. If you return. |
| 82093 Here Lies Dragomir the Elder |
| 82094 We bring you a message from Mount Deepstone, Rasaad yn Bashir! |
| 82095 You truly are amazing, <CHARNAME>. Wherever you go, you find new friends. |
| 82096 And then we kill 'em! |
| 82097 Wait! I am one of you! I am a servant of Shar! |
| 82098 Not if you stand by the heretic, you aren't. |
| 82099 You stand beside a Selûnite, woman. You're not one of us. |
| 82100 No true servant of Shar would stand next to Rasaad yn Bashir. |
| 82101 These assassins were clearly here to kill me. Alorgoth won't be satisfied until the last of my order is dead. |
| 82102 Let's hope he goes unsatisfied for a good, long time. |
| 82103 YOU MUST OPEN THE TOMB. |
| 82104 Alorgoth's polluted the world for too long. When are you going to finish him? |
| 82105 You or Alorgoth, Rasaad. One of you's got to go. |
| 82106 Too far, <CHARNAME>. Too far by far. I cannot stand beside a <PRO_MANWOMAN> who seeks to kill a priest of Shar. You may as well plunge the dagger in my breast. |
| 82107 You know I cannot stop until Alorgoth is dead. |
| 82108 I know it. And when he falls, I will be standing next to you. |
| 82109 YOU MUST ENTER THE TOMB. |
| 82110 I knowâ€â€as you must know that I'll not part willingly with Viconia. |
| 82111 Then this is where we go our separate ways. May you find happiness in the company of this dithering simpleton. |
| 82112 Then I guess this is where we part ways. Farewell, old friend. |
| 82113 I thought to cut the Sharran snake's head off during our last assault on the Dark Moon. |
| 82114 He can't evade you forever. |
| 82115 And nearly lost your own as a result. |
| 82116 I know this all too well. Check their fallen bodies; we may yet find some clues as to his location. |
| 82117 As soon as I can find him. I thought to cut the Sharran snake's head off during our last assault on the Dark Moon. |
| 82118 He can't evade you forever. |
| 82119 And nearly lost your own as a result. |
| 82120 Would that I had. Better that than watching my brothers and sisters fall all around me. |
| 82121 I had no place leading those people. Now their blood is on my hands. |
| 82122 You can't think that way, my friend. They followed you willingly. They knew the risks. |
| 82123 Alorgoth is the one with bloody hands, Rasaad. Never forget who is truly responsible for this Twofold nightmare. |
| 82124 You led them to noble deaths, fighting for a worthy cause. There are worse ways to die, and worse reasons to do so. |
| 82125 I wish I could be as sanguine about their loss as you are, <CHARNAME>. But I fear they'll haunt me the rest of my days. Check their belongings; perhaps we will learn more of their plans. |
| 82126 You say that as though I could. These fallen warriors may have some information yet hidden on their person. |
| 82127 For as long as he lives. Which, gods willing, will not be long at all. Here, let us check the bodies for how we may hasten his demise. |
| 82128 I pray you are right, <CHARNAME>. After all that has happened, it is hard to hold on to hope that I shall avenge my brother. The pockets of these fallen warriors may yield some clues as to my next step. |
| 82129 Back away, stranger! Come no closer! |
| 82130 Where would you have me go? |
| 82131 Were you raised in a cave? That's hardly the way to welcome a newcomer. |
| 82132 You would try to command me? I think not. |
| 82133 Turn back now. I'm warning you. |
| 82134 As you wish. |
| 82135 Warning me of what? |
| 82136 You warn me? I think you misunderstand the nature of this relationship. |
| 82137 We cannot turn back now, <CHARNAME>. Yonder mountain holds my last hope of tracking Alorgoth. |
| 82138 It's a trap! |
| 82139 Good of whoever's behind it to alert newcomers of the fact. |
| 82140 Well, why didn't you say so sooner? |
| 82141 What sort of trap? Describe it, now. |
| 82142 Curse you, dwarf! I'll have your tongue out for this! |
| 82143 Now! Get them! |
| 82144 Stop where ya stand! Come no further. |
| 82145 As you wish. |
| 82146 Or what? |
| 82147 Who're you, then? What's yer business here? |
| 82148 I seek Alorgoth. |
| 82149 I found the map to this place in the pockets of a man who tried to kill a friend. |
| 82150 Intruders! Intruders in the crypt! |
| 82151 Kill them! |
| 82152 My business here is none of your concern. |
| 82153 Oh, aye? And who was this assassin? |
| 82154 Telwyn |
| 82155 He was a member of the Dark Moon order. |
| 82156 Who are you? |
| 82157 You're wasting my time, dwarf. Stand aside while you're still able to stand at all. |
| 82158 Try again. That's just the kind o' response that guarantees my concern. |
| 82159 I found a map to this place. Looked like there might be treasure at the end of it. You can't fault me for seeking my fortune. |
| 82160 I'm looking for a man named Alorgoth. |
| 82161 I've a response you'll find much more concerning, if you really want it. |
| 82162 I'll shove yer response down yer bloody throat, ya filth! |
| 82163 Then die like a dog, ya Sharran scoundrel! |
| 82164 I'm here to kill him! |
| 82165 Wait! We don't want to fight you! |
| 82166 You call me Sharran? I think you've mistaken me for someone else, friend. |
| 82167 You first, dwarf. |
| 82168 No, don't kill them! Kill other folk! |
| 82169 What's this ya say now? |
| 82170 Alorgoth has blood on his hands. I would avenge those he's wronged. Is he here? |
| 82171 I've no love of Shar, or any of those who follow her. |
| 82172 My only interest in the Dark Moon order is seeing it destroyed and its leader torn limb from bloody limb. |
| 82173 Follow me. |
| 82174 Well, hell, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, why didn't ya say as much sooner? |
| 82175 You don't say? Huh. |
| 82176 A follower of Shar tried t' kill yer friend, ye say? Very interestin'. |
| 82177 Die! |
| 82178 M'name's Lemp Coldhearth, and I'll thank ye to answer me question. |
| 82179 Good <DAYNIGHTALL> to you, Master Coldhearth. I am <CHARNAME>. The assassin was a member of the Dark Moon order, sent to kill my friend Rasaad. |
| 82180 I'd say it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, but it really isn't. The would-be killer was a member of the Dark Moon order. I slew him. Now let me pass or you'll get the same. |
| 82181 You can call me <CHARNAME>. No thanks are necessary, as I'll not be answering. |
| 82182 If ya won't be answerin', I guess you'll just have to get on with the dyin'! |
| 82183 You say ya killed a Sharran? I like the sound o' that. |
| 82184 Big words, <PRO_RACE>. Let's see ye back 'em up! |
| 82185 There's no fortune in Deepstone, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Not anymore. Be on yer way. |
| 82186 As you wish. |
| 82187 What happened? Does this have something to do with Alorgoth or the worshippers of Shar? |
| 82188 I will, when you're out of mine. |
| 82189 <CHARNAME>, no! This may be my last chance to find Alorgoth. |
| 82190 It's the Dark Moon's head ye're seekin' then? |
| 82191 In more ways than one. He killed my brother. |
| 82192 Now THAT, I find very interestin'. |
| 82193 I'd say ye'd be waitin' awhile then... but it wouldn't be true! |
| 82194 What makes ye think that? |
| 82195 We seek a man named Alorgoth. |
| 82196 The map I told you about. It was found on the body of a Sharran assassin. |
| 82197 That doesn't matter. Is it true? |
| 82198 His body, ye say? |
| 82199 Regrettably, yes. He left us little choice. |
| 82200 He was sent to kill a friend. It was him or us. |
| 82201 Only a fool would let an enemy live. |
| 82202 The Sharran was an enemy, ye say? Interestin'. |
| 82203 A dead Sharran's no bad thing in my eyes, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 82204 Ye're lookin' for the Dark Moon's leader? |
| 82205 I do. |
| 82206 An' if it is? |
| 82207 Then I believe we've a common enemy in the Dark Moon order. |
| 82208 Answer my question, dwarf. |
| 82209 Ye may be right at that. |
| 82210 Here's my answer, ye bloody <PRO_RACE>! |
| 82211 Look there! 'Tis the murderer! |
| 82212 Can we talk about this? |
| 82213 Murderer? Me? I believe you've mistaken me for someone else. |
| 82214 Aye. Now come forward and join your fellows in death. |
| 82215 Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 82216 Liar! We know what you did! |
| 82217 Liar! We know what you did, murderer! |
| 82218 I'll leave you in pieces, you butcher! |
| 82219 Aye? Then be on your way, and watch yourself. It's not safe 'round these parts. |
| 82220 What've you got to say for yourself, murderer? |
| 82221 I've no wish to add to the body count. Let me go on my way, and I'll leave you in peace. |
| 82222 I didn't kill anyoneâ€â€but if you don't stop accusing me, I'm not averse to starting. |
| 82223 At least be accurate in your name-calling, dwarf. I'm a multi-murderer. |
| 82224 So <PRO_HESHE> admits it! Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 82225 We've lost enough people recently. Be on your way, and pray I never set eyes upon you again. |
| 82226 Meems! Gots visitors for ye! |
| 82227 Good day, stranger. I am Meems Dugdeep of the Deepstone Clan. |
| 82228 And to you, milady. I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 82229 Are you in charge here? |
| 82230 <CHARNAME>. What's happening here? |
| 82231 What brings you to the Deepstone clanhold? |
| 82232 What brings you out of it? |
| 82233 Gods! You even need to ask? I've heard great things about the mountain; everyone in Waterdeep is RAVING about it. I just had to check it out for myself. |
| 82234 Fate. |
| 82235 Vengeance. |
| 82236 Straight to the point, eh? I can respect that. |
| 82237 Ye think ye're funny, <PRO_RACE>? I'm not laughin'. |
| 82238 No, I can see that. Seriously, then: I am here seeking a man called Alorgoth. He owes my friend a great debt, and I would see him repay it in blood. |
| 82239 I do think I'm funny, and you really should be laughing; it's good for your health. |
| 82240 Then die, you miserable shrew! |
| 82241 We're under attack! Get Meems to safety! |
| 82242 I wish I could laugh. These are hard times. |
| 82243 I lead my peopleâ€â€those of them that remain free, at any rate. |
| 82244 And the others? |
| 82245 I gather you've fallen on hard times? |
| 82246 I wish you good fortune, but I've no time to waste on your plight. |
| 82247 Why are ye here? |
| 82248 To kill a man named Alorgoth. |
| 82249 I've reason to believe my enemies have an interest in Deepstone Mountain. If that's the case, I'll do what I can to remove them. Not just from the mountain, mind youâ€â€from the face of the earth. |
| 82250 Watch and see. |
| 82251 Aye, I'll do that. It's not as though ye're likely to make things any worse than they already are. |
| 82252 Harder than any rock I've known, and I've known a few in my time. |
| 82253 Tell me what has happened. |
| 82254 I'm sorry to hear that. But not so sorry that I'm inclined to expend resources doing anything about it. |
| 82255 Your definition of luck and mine are not the same. I don't count myself fortunate to bear witness to the fate of those that didn't escape. |
| 82256 Which is? |
| 82257 Weeks ago, the clanhold was penetrated by servants of Shar. Only a handful of us escaped into the forest. |
| 82258 And the others? |
| 82259 You escaped? How? |
| 82260 You were lucky. |
| 82261 Some weeks past, the clanhold was penetrated by servants of Shar. Some of us escaped into the woods, but manyâ€â€mostâ€â€were killed or enslaved. Northeast of here, my brothers and cousin work night and day, cutting down trees for lumber the Sharrans send into the mines. |
| 82262 The Dark Moon is mining the mountain? |
| 82263 Sent into the mines? How? |
| 82264 A dire fate, though not so dire as what I've planned for the followers of the Dark Moon. |
| 82265 The truly fortunate were killed outright, the others enslaved. |
| 82266 Killed, or enslaved. |
| 82267 To the north, the Sharrans work them night and day, cuttin' down trees that are sent into the mines. |
| 82268 The Sharrans are mining the mountain? |
| 82269 Sent into the mines? How? |
| 82270 Soon, the Sharrans will have more pressing concerns than mining. |
| 82271 We believe so. A few weeks prior to the attack, we uncovered a vein of dark purple crystals, the likes of which I'd never seen before. Certain magicsâ€â€light and fire, in particularâ€â€were weakened in the crystals' presence. |
| 82272 And the Sharrans attacked so soon after the discovery? That's no coincidence. |
| 82273 I don't like the sound of that. |
| 82274 Go ahead, monk. Make my day. |
| 82275 And now Alorgoth has seized the mine where these crystals were found. It seems I'm on a timeline. |
| 82276 Nor do I. These crystals sound like the darkest kind of magic. |
| 82277 Speak for yourself, <CHARNAME>. |
| 82278 Given the proximity of the discovery and the Sharrans' assault, I think it likely one inspired the other. |
| 82279 Agreed. And if Alorgoth wants the crystals, I very much want him not to get them. |
| 82280 Attack! |
| 82281 Interesting, but irrelevant. I'll sort it out after I've dealt with the Dark Moon. |
| 82282 Now there's a motivation I can get behind. |
| 82283 What has happened here? |
| 82284 We're dwarves. I've spent my entire life in Deepstone; I know its every crack and crevice like the back of my hand. |
| 82285 Then we've much to talk about, you and I. |
| 82286 How well do you know the back of your hand? I mean, really? |
| 82287 You'll have a few more cracks and crevices to familiarize yourself with before this is over. |
| 82288 Some Sharrans are going to become very well acquainted with my knuckles. Soon. |
| 82289 What do you want to know? |
| 82290 Tell me everything you know about the Sharransâ€â€where they are, what they might be up to. |
| 82291 Why am I not running full speed away from here? |
| 82292 How do I get into the mountain? |
| 82293 You know full well why we are here, <CHARNAME>. Meems, tell us what you know about the Sharrans' activities. |
| 82294 They've men guarding the bridge and others roving the area, usin' my kinsmen as bait to try and draw us out. They take us prisoner, putting us to work either in the mountain or the lumber camp to the northeast. |
| 82295 Once the trees are cut, they're tossed into the river. It's picked up and ferried into the clanhold upstream. |
| 82296 I think I should pay this lumber camp a little visit. |
| 82297 The main entranceâ€â€what can you tell me of it? |
| 82298 Opening the main entry would be no problem, but they've dozens of men, maybe more, stationed behind it. A frontal assault would be suicide. |
| 82299 How else do you propose we get in? |
| 82300 Suicide for you, no doubt. But I am made of sterner stuff. |
| 82301 We've been workin' on tunneling under the river directly into the mines. We almost made it through, but the tunnel collapsed. |
| 82302 How will you clear it? |
| 82303 So close! What will you do? |
| 82304 That doesn't exactly inspire confidence. |
| 82305 Tell me how the mine is arranged. |
| 82306 I can't tell ye much of the mineâ€â€the layout could've changed completely in the past few weeks. But the clanhold itself is a different story. The entrance leads into the main hall. To the right are the barracks, to the left the dining halls and kitchen. Beyond the barracks are the clanlord's chambers. The mine entry is at the end of the hallâ€â€beside it is the furnace room and forge. |
| 82307 This has been very helpful. I'll head to the lumber camp immediately. |
| 82308 With every passing second, Alorgoth gets closer to his ultimate goal. I don't have time to waste out hereâ€â€I must enter the clanhold directly. |
| 82309 This has been highly educational and boring. I'm going to go resolve the Sharran problem nowâ€â€do yourself a favor and stay out of my way. |
| 82310 The wood is cut to the northeast and then tossed into the river. It's picked up and ferried into the clanhold upstream, across the river just north of here. |
| 82311 You mean to attack Deepstone? We can help you with that. |
| 82312 I was hoping you'd say that. We have much to discuss. |
| 82313 Well, I'd hope so. It's your home I'll be fighting for, after all. Now tell me, how many ways are there into the mountain? |
| 82314 You think I need your help? |
| 82315 Ye think ye don't? Then see how you fare. |
| 82316 Currently, just the main entrance. We're workin' on changin' that. |
| 82317 How so? |
| 82318 I've better things to do with my time than discuss your hands or any other parts of your body! |
| 82319 Such as? |
| 82320 Spoken like someone who's never waxed rhapsodic about my torso. Well, maybe some other day. Right now I've got to focus on wiping out the Sharrans who've attacked your people. |
| 82321 Oh? And what have you done since you were driven from your home? Hide like rabbits in the brush, waiting for the gods to take pity upon you? |
| 82322 We've not been idle, believe me. |
| 82323 I believe you. |
| 82324 I don't want to believe. I want to know. |
| 82325 We've been working on tunnelin' under the river directly into the mines. We almost made it through, but the tunnel collapsed. |
| 82326 How will you clear it? |
| 82327 So close! What will you do? |
| 82328 That doesn't exactly inspire confidence. |
| 82329 We won'tâ€â€at least not without somethin' that can blast through the barrier. |
| 82330 What do you need? |
| 82331 You want to create an explosion under a river? |
| 82332 I'd rather blast through the main entrance, myself. |
| 82333 If you want to give it a shot, you're certainly welcome to do so. I'll not risk my people in a front assault, but best of luck pullin' it off. |
| 82334 We need a potion of explosions, a little rock salt, and... my own special ingredient. We know the Sharrans left some rock salt near the lumber camp, and as for the special ingredient... well, I left my last bottle of grog in the clanhold when I escaped. But judging from the way the people I've got watching the bridge says he's been acting, I think one of the Sharran's mercenaries got hold of it. |
| 82335 I'll see what I can do to get those for you. |
| 82336 Tell me more about this camp. |
| 82337 As fortune would have it, I have a potion of explosions, some rock salt, and... is this the grog you speak of? |
| 82338 The gods know what Alorgoth is up to in the mines. I'll not waste my time and resources running around in the forest when my enemy's cornered himself in a mountain. |
| 82339 In truth, there's not much I can tell you. I can't risk losing more people to the Sharrans, so we've steered well clear of it. |
| 82340 You've got me with you now. Let's go take a look. |
| 82341 I'll have to check it out myself, then. |
| 82342 You have just made me a very happy woman. Come, we've a tunnel to open. |
| 82343 You work on getting the potion of explosions ready. I'll join you directly. |
| 82344 I promise you'll be well rewarded for doing so, once we've eliminated the Sharrans. Judging from the light in the lumber camp at night, you should find a potion of explosions there. Rock salt too, as likely as not. |
| 82345 Blast the blockage to dust. At least that's the plan, once we get a few elements. |
| 82346 We know how to control an explosion. What we lack is the materials to create one. |
| 82347 Our best excavators have been captured by the Sharrans and put to work cuttin' wood for them. |
| 82348 That can't be allowed to stand. |
| 82349 If we can get them back, will they be able to unblock the tunnel? |
| 82350 Poor work for a dwarf. Poor dwarves to tolerate the situation. |
| 82351 Maybe in timeâ€â€which my people don't have in abundance at the moment. Our best bet is to blow the tunnel, but we're short a few elements necessary to create a potion of explosions. |
| 82352 If we fall to the Sharrans, Clan Deepstone will be all but wiped out. I can't risk losing any more of my people. I don't want to beg. Don't make me. |
| 82353 I couldn't agree more. And while you're freeing my kinsmen, you can grab some of the rock salt we'll need to clear the tunnel. There should be a barrel of the stuff near the camp. |
| 82354 When WHO is freeing them? |
| 82355 Sounds like a plan. |
| 82356 Mind your mouth, <PRO_RACE>. I've family in that camp. |
| 82357 That won't be the case much longer. |
| 82358 And that's where they'll remain until I decide otherwise. |
| 82359 Mind yours. You need me much more than I do you. |
| 82360 That's true enough. Will ye help us? |
| 82361 I will. |
| 82362 It's your lucky day, Dugdeep. Our interests in this matter align perfectly. |
| 82363 What is my help worth to you? |
| 82364 Best news I've heard all day. |
| 82365 I like the sound of that. |
| 82366 I fear you're right. Will ye help us? |
| 82367 I will. |
| 82368 Fortunately for you, our interests in this matter align perfectly. |
| 82369 Perhaps. What are your family's lives and home worth to you? |
| 82370 Sorry. Can't risk losing the peopleâ€â€not until the tunnel's finished. |
| 82371 Take care. It's dangerous out there. |
| 82372 Fate's taken you well off the beaten path. |
| 82373 It often does. |
| 82374 I prefer to forge my own path. |
| 82375 I've walked rougher paths than this. |
| 82376 How <PRO_HESHE> speaks the truth. You have no idea. |
| 82377 No idea! |
| 82378 I like your spirit, <PRO_RACE>. And you've the look of one who's no stranger to combat. Am I right? |
| 82379 That is regrettably so. |
| 82380 Hold your positions! These aren't like the other invaders. |
| 82381 Other invaders? |
| 82382 He's right! We're nicer. Look at how nice Hexxat is. Hexxat? |
| 82383 True. The other invaders apparently failed to destroy you. We will not. |
| 82384 Hideous creatures from the Underdark have penetrated the Crypt of Scholars. |
| 82385 They consume the preserved brains of our ancestors. |
| 82386 Show me where they are. They must pay for these dark deeds. |
| 82387 Dark creatures from the Underdark eating brains, you say? I think it's time we were going. |
| 82388 That's no concern of ours. Where is the scepter of Nan Kung Chi? |
| 82389 They seek the Claw of the Black Leopard! |
| 82390 We're not going anywhere until we've got what we came for. |
| 82391 I've seen my share of blood shed, and your share to boot. |
| 82392 Graverobbers must die! |
| 82393 I said hold! |
| 82394 I live to fight. |
| 82395 Then perhaps we can help each other. |
| 82396 What is it you come here seeking? |
| 82397 How so? |
| 82398 What do you need? |
| 82399 The scepter of Nan Kung Chi. |
| 82400 What makes you think I need help? |
| 82401 Currently, I'm mostly looking for a way out. |
| 82402 Are you telling me you have no use for money, for gems and diamonds, for... |
| 82403 Your destruction will do for a start. |
| 82404 I get the idea. What do I need to do to get this money, gems, and diamonds? |
| 82405 Money? How much money? |
| 82406 The Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 82407 I can always find a use for those things. |
| 82408 How much do you want? |
| 82409 They must be slain! |
| 82410 How much have you got? |
| 82411 What do you want me to do for it? |
| 82412 I'll take everything you've got. |
| 82413 Be silent. Normally, we'd kill you where you stand, <PRO_RACE>. But these are desperate times. |
| 82414 In the mountain, the wealth of kings and nations. |
| 82415 Perhaps we can help each other. I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 82416 We're not in the mountain. |
| 82417 Desperate times? For ghosts? I don't like the sound of that. |
| 82418 No. We're not. |
| 82419 They're about to get more desperate for you, wraith. |
| 82420 Out here, not much. Inside the mountain, that's a different story. |
| 82421 Why aren't you in the mountain, anyway? |
| 82422 I'm not with them. |
| 82423 Then let's go into the mountain and see what you have to offer. |
| 82424 You're not in the mountain. |
| 82425 If only it were that easy. |
| 82426 I'll give you a way out, you filthy dog! |
| 82427 No. We're not. |
| 82428 There you go, then. |
| 82429 Underdark creatures infest the crypt. Vile animals! |
| 82430 Months past, the clanhold was penetrated by servants of Shar. Those of us who escaped mean to take our home back. We need every man and woman we can get. |
| 82431 I'll do what I can to help you. |
| 82432 Sounds like you're pretty desperate. |
| 82433 No. You just need me. |
| 82434 I've always found the desperate make the best clients. |
| 82435 Fight with us and I'll make it worth your while. |
| 82436 Fighting the Sharrans is its own reward. |
| 82437 Make it worth my while first. Then I'll fight for you. |
| 82438 A hollow promise from a desperate woman. I'll take my leave of you now. |
| 82439 These people need our help, <CHARNAME>. Have we sunk to the point of extortion? |
| 82440 There's nothing to extort while Deepstone is cut off to us. I have nothing to offer you up front. |
| 82441 Alorgoth and his servants will pay for their crimes. |
| 82442 If I could do that, I'd have an army of sellswords at my beck and call weeks ago. |
| 82443 I don't have an army, but I'll fight beside you. |
| 82444 If you've nothing to offer now, you've nothing to offer, period. The first thing the Sharrans would do is take everything of value from the mountain. |
| 82445 A shame you can't do that, then. I guess we've nothing left to discuss. |
| 82446 The Sharrans have barely left the mountain. |
| 82447 In the north, a handful work my family and friends day and night, cuttin' down trees for lumber that is sent into the mines. Another handful guard the main entrance. The rest who invaded Deepstone have yet to leave it. |
| 82448 They're sending wood into the mountain? |
| 82449 That makes no sense. |
| 82450 What possible reason could they have not to loot the place? |
| 82451 A few weeks prior to the attack, we uncovered a vein of dark purple crystals, the likes of which I'd never seen before. Certain magicsâ€â€light and fire, in particularâ€â€were weakened in the crystals' presence. |
| 82452 And the Sharrans attacked so soon after the discovery? That's no coincidence. |
| 82453 Why are you people still here? I'd be running for the hills. Different hills, I mean. Ones far away from here. |
| 82454 And now Alorgoth has seized the mine where these crystals were found. It seems I'm on a timeline. |
| 82455 Whatever Alorgoth is up to in there, we've got to put an end to it! |
| 82456 Such evil cannot go unchallenged. |
| 82457 Indeed. We believe they've picked up minin' operations where we left them when we were driven from our home. |
| 82458 Go, then. I hope ye sleep well knowin' ye abandoned a beaten and weary people to a cruel fate. |
| 82459 I'm pleased to hear it. You'll want to head to the lumber camp in the northeast immediately. |
| 82460 Why go there? |
| 82461 I like nature as much as the next personâ€â€more than most, I daresayâ€â€but do we really want to go tromping 'round the forest while the Sharrans are gutting your home? |
| 82462 Nonsense. I'll go in through the front door, like a civilized <PRO_RACE>. |
| 82463 We've been working on tunnelin' under the river directly into the mines. We almost made it through, but the tunnel collapsed. We need certain materials to create a potion of explosions to blast through it. |
| 82464 Liberatin' the camp will give us the safest way into Deepstone. Come, I'll show you. |
| 82465 We need a potion of explosions, a little rock salt, and... my own special ingredient. We know the Sharrans left some rock salt near the lumber camp, and as for the special ingredient... well, my last bottle of grog was left in the clanhold during our escape. But if what I hear is true, one of the Sharran's mercenaries has found itâ€â€at least judging by the way my people watching the bridge say he's been acting. |
| 82466 Tell me more about this camp. |
| 82467 As fortune would have it, I have a potion of explosions, some rock salt, and your grog. |
| 82468 The gods know what Alorgoth is up to in the mines. I'll not waste my time and resources running around in the forest when my enemy's cornered himself in a mountain. |
| 82469 If ye want to give it a shot, you're certainly welcome to do so. I'll not risk my people in a frontal assault, but best of luck pullin' it off. |
| 82470 They take us prisoner, put us to work cuttin' down trees to the northeast. |
| 82471 Oh! Oh, get ready! You're going to see some fireworks now. |
| 82472 I prefer my fireworks in the sky, not under several tons of earth and running water. I'll leave you to your tunnel and see what I can do up here. |
| 82473 I like fireworks. |
| 82474 Deepstone has been our home for generations. We'll not let it go without a fight. |
| 82475 You'll not fight alone. |
| 82476 You have a plan to roust these squatters from your home? |
| 82477 You already lost the fight. The wise would cut their losses and leave now. That's what I intend to do. |
| 82478 <CHARNAME>, no. We cannot abandon these people in their hour of need. |
| 82479 Given the proximity of the discovery and the Sharrans' assault, I think it likely one inspired the other. |
| 82480 I am Keno, commander of the spirit guard. Do you have any experience with creatures from the Underdark? |
| 82481 Agreed. And if Alorgoth wants the crystals, I very much want him not to get them. |
| 82482 Not good ones. |
| 82483 Interesting, but irrelevant. I'll sort it out after I've dealt with the Dark Moon. |
| 82484 Night and day, they send the wood down the river for transport into the mine. |
| 82485 Other than my mother-in-law? No. |
| 82486 How many people do they have cutting down the trees? |
| 82487 Only with killing them. |
| 82488 If we hitched a ride on the lumber, we might be able to avoid the bridge guards. |
| 82489 My interest is in whatâ€â€and whoâ€â€is inside the mountain. Not what's happening outside of it. |
| 82490 Few people do. |
| 82491 And if careful and lucky, someone strikin' from the river might catch the door guards by surprise. But that's not why I want to liberate the camp. |
| 82492 You'll need to take out the lumber camp to make that work. That'll also give us more people on our side when we begin the assault, which should improve our odds dramatically. |
| 82493 Help us kill them and we shall not prevent you from exploring the rest of the crypt. |
| 82494 Let's waste no more time with discussion. It's time to act. |
| 82495 Yes, with them along, we move from the Certain Death to the Attempted Suicide column. |
| 82496 You've gone mad, Keno! You can't let them pass. |
| 82497 Don't overestimate your people, Meems. The Sharrans have been working them hardâ€â€and those who willingly submitted to their captors lack the mettle of true warriors. Still, we can use the extra bodies, even if only as shields. |
| 82498 Do we have an agreement? |
| 82499 At last, the chance to avenge my fallen brethren is at hand. |
| 82500 Ignore my friend, Meems. It amuses <PRO_HIMHER> to dwell on the bleak. |
| 82501 It's a deal. |
| 82502 We've been workin' on another way in. Let me show ye. |
| 82503 We've got the river, the tunnel under it, and the bridge over it. How will you proceed? |
| 82504 Nope. No way. Uh-uh. |
| 82505 I'll strike from the river. It's the best chance to catch them off their guard. |
| 82506 First we get the Leopard's Claw, then we kill the other intruders. |
| 82507 You've put so much work into that tunnel. It'd be a shame to see it go to waste. |
| 82508 The direct approach is best. I'll cross the bridge and cut down all who stand in our way. |
| 82509 Before ye got here, we couldn't risk a direct assault. We've been workin' on creating an alternate entry point. |
| 82510 I've heard enough! Die! |
| 82511 We don't have a tunnel, not yet. We still need a potion of explosions, some rock salt, and my special ingredient. |
| 82512 Spirit guard, attack! |
| 82513 Judgin' by some o' the fireworks I've seen up that way, you should find the potion at the lumber camp in the northeast. Rock salt too, most like. My special ingredient... I had to leave the last bottle of my special brewed grog in Deepstone when we were driven out. But word from my people watching the bridge is that one of the Sharrans' mercenaries has found it. |
| 82514 Looks like I'm going to the lumber camp after all. |
| 82515 We have a deal. |
| 82516 Which mercenary is this? |
| 82517 What I meant to say was, we have a deal. |
| 82518 I'm going to explore the area, see if any other ideas present themselves to me. I'll keep an eye out for your explosive material while I do it. |
| 82519 You would have me seek potions and grog in the forest, all while the Sharrans continue pillaging your home? No, no. I've no patience for this. I'll take the bridge. |
| 82520 Way to undercut my bargaining position. |
| 82521 A bold plan, but a dangerous one. If that's the way you want to play it, I'll not stand in your wayâ€â€but I also won't risk my people on a direct assault. Good luck. |
| 82522 You don't speak for me, Hexxat. |
| 82523 He patrols the other side of the bridge. Believe me, you'll have no trouble recognizin' him. |
| 82524 Don't think of it as me speaking for you, <CHARNAME>. Think of it as your passage back to Amn speaking for you. |
| 82525 Less than a dozen at most. The numbers change; some of them are brought back into the mines to labor beneath the surface. |
| 82526 Having those people beside us would be handy when we begin our assault. |
| 82527 I'd like to take a look at this camp, see what sort of defenses it's got. |
| 82528 The Crypt of Scholars is to the south of here. Good fortune be with you. |
| 82529 Not enough to justify the risk we'd take in freeing them. We'll use the tunnel. |
| 82530 Not enough to justify the risk we'd take in freeing them. What other ways are there into the mountain? |
| 82531 No question. If we liberate those workin' at the lumber camp, our chances for success improve dramatically. |
| 82532 Let's waste no more time with discussion. It's time to act. |
| 82533 Yes, with them along, we move from the Certain Death to the Attempted Suicide column. |
| 82534 Don't overestimate your people, Meems. The Sharrans have been working them hardâ€â€and those who willingly submitted to their captors lack the mettle of true warriors. Still, we can use the extra bodies, even if only as shields. |
| 82535 Have a care, <CHARNAME>. My brother and cousins both work at the camp. You'll find them more than worthy to fight at your side. |
| 82536 I meant no offense. I'm sure they're more than capable and will serve us well in fighting Alorgoth's servants. |
| 82537 I hope you're right. |
| 82538 We'll see, Dugdeep. |
| 82539 The camp holds more than just my kinsmen. |
| 82540 We've been working on tunnelin' under the river directly into the mines. We almost made it through, but the tunnel collapsed. We need certain materials to create a potion of explosions to blast through it. |
| 82541 Such as? |
| 82542 A potion of explosions, for starters. But we'll need to enhance it, an' that means we'll also need some rock salt... and my special ingredient. Rock salt can be had o'er near the lumber camp. The special ingredient... I had to leave my last bottle o' special grog behind when we were driven from Deepstone. But my people watching the bridge tell me a mercenary found it and has been, uh, enjoying my labors. |
| 82543 Tell me more about this camp. |
| 82544 As fortune would have it, I have a potion of explosions, rock salt, and your grog. |
| 82545 The gods know what Alorgoth is up to in the mines. I'll not waste my time and resources romping through the woods when my enemy's cornered himself in a mountain. |
| 82546 If you want to give it a shot, you're certainly welcome to do so. I'll not risk my people in a frontal assault, but best of luck pullin' it off. |
| 82547 I'll go you one better than that. I'll take you to it. |
| 82548 Oh! Oh, get ready! You're going to see some fireworks now. |
| 82549 I prefer my fireworks in the sky, not under several tons of earth and running water. I'll leave you to your tunnel and see what I can do up here. |
| 82550 I like fireworks. |

| 82552 Whatâ€â€who are you? What are you doing here? |
| 82553 I am <CHARNAME>. I've come to free your prisoners. |
| 82554 My name is <CHARNAME>. I was with a traveling carnival, but I seem to have lost my way. |
| 82555 I'm killing a Shar-worshipping fool. |
| 82556 This is for my fallen brethren! |
| 82557 MY BROTHERS, WE ARE ATTACKED! |
| 82558 Be off with you. |
| 82559 I'm afraid I cannot leave here while you hold these dwarves prisoner. |
| 82560 Gladly. |
| 82561 In a moment. The last moment you have left. |
| 82562 That's unfortunate for you, but good news for me. I could use another set of hands. |
| 82563 I'm afraid I can't help you. |
| 82564 I'm afraid it's worse news than you realize, you Sharran thug. |
| 82565 I could never consider myself unfortunate while I've Sharrans to slay. |
| 82566 You'll rue the day you encountered my hands, Sharran! |
| 82567 Die for your Dark Moon, villain! |
| 82568 <CHARNAME>, no! We can't just leave... |
| 82569 You should listen to your friend. You'll live a longer and happier life if you do. |
| 82570 Brothers, to me! I am attacked! |
| 82571 A noble sentiment, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I hope you're happy to die for it. |
| 82572 Get out of my sight. |
| 82573 Your presence here is no accident. |
| 82574 You act like you have a choice in the matter. |
| 82575 We are defined by our choices, monk. Make your next one very carefully. |
| 82576 I think I'll just leave now, if it's all right with you. |
| 82577 You act like you're not about to meet your end. |
| 82578 <CHARNAME>, no. We cannot abandon the dwarves. |
| 82579 Brothers, to me! |
| 82580 You're not going anywhere. |
| 82581 I told you to leave. You should've listened to me. |
| 82582 Brothers, to me! |
| 82583 Name's Dugdeep. Cuddy Dugdeep. Who are you? |
| 82584 My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 82585 You've done Deepstone Clan a great service, <CHARNAME>. We'll not forget it. |
| 82586 Your liberation is just the beginning. The Sharrans still hold your home. |
| 82587 Yeah, yeah. That's what they all say. They all forget me in the end. |
| 82588 You'll do more than remember it, dwarf. I expect to be well rewarded for this venture. |
| 82589 You will be, when we take back our home. |
| 82590 To do that, we'll need a potion of explosions and rock salt. |
| 82591 Deepstone awaits! Let's hit the Sharrans now, before they know what's happened here. |
| 82592 I'll take my reward now, you squalid runt. |
| 82593 I'll shove your reward down your stinking throat! |
| 82594 What? |
| 82595 Ignore <PRO_HIMHER>; <PRO_HESHE> thinks <PRO_HESHE>'s being funny. |
| 82596 We'd best get clear of here before the Sharrans figure out what happened. |
| 82597 Agreed. |
| 82598 I agree. Do you know where I can find some some potion of explosions and rock salt? |
| 82599 We'd best press our advantage and attack Deepstone before they figure out what happened. |
| 82600 Let them. I thirst for Sharran blood. |
| 82601 I find Sharran blood tastes basically the same as anyone else's. |
| 82602 You'll look long and hard to find someone who hates the Sharrans more than I. |
| 82603 Not so far as you may think. |
| 82604 But I'll not stand around waitin' for them to strike me down. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 82605 Oh, aye? And you've got a way to manage that, have you? |
| 82606 Your kinswoman Meems has been working on a tunnel under the river. We need a potion of explosions and rock salt to clear it, as well as some of her special grog. |
| 82607 Two ways, though I've yet to decide whether I want to enter the mountain through the front door or your cousin Meems's tunnel. |
| 82608 I'm working on it. |
| 82609 I plan to knock on the door and politely ask them to vacate the premises. If they don't, I'll slaughter the lot of them. If they do, I'll still slaughter the lot of them. |
| 82610 Meems has tunneled into the mines? |
| 82611 She's working on it. That's why I need the potion of explosions and rock salt. |
| 82612 I can help you out there. I know of a way into the mountain, one the Sharrans probably haven't discovered yet. |
| 82613 Is there a way to reach it without alerting the bridge or main entry guards? |
| 82614 The key word here is "probably." |
| 82615 I'll enter the mountains the same way the Sharrans did: through the front door. |
| 82616 Catching Alorgoth off-guard is worth the risk. |
| 82617 The Sharrans didn't use the front door. They found another way in. |
| 82618 Makes sense. |
| 82619 Maybe they found your secret entrance. |
| 82620 Oh. Well, I'll still be going in through the front. |
| 82621 Alorgoth would rather stab you in the back than in the heart. |
| 82622 We've a better chance with this than a direct assault. |
| 82623 The thought occurred to me, but no. They didn't come at us from the kitchens. I'm telling ya, this is the best chance we have. |
| 82624 Aye, there's some of both in the camp. Sounds like you plan to blow something up. |
| 82625 Your kinswoman Meems has been working on a tunnel under the river. We need a barrel of rock salt and a potion of explosions to clear it. |
| 82626 Your kinswoman Meems does. For myself, I think I'll just meander over the bridge and slaughter every Sharran that crosses my path. |
| 82627 No. I don't have that. What I've got is better! |
| 82628 Perhaps, perhaps not. |
| 82629 You have another way to clear the tunnel? |
| 82630 I'll bite. What are you talking about? |
| 82631 Don't play coy with me, dwarf. |
| 82632 There's another way into the mountainâ€â€one that doesn't put us in danger of drowning. |
| 82633 Is there a way to reach it without alerting the bridge or main entry guards? |
| 82634 Where? |
| 82635 What danger does it put us in? |
| 82636 With a little luck, we might be able to escape the guards' notice by riding the logs downstream. |
| 82637 Worth a try. Let's do it. |
| 82638 Are you feeling lucky, Cuddy? Because I'm not. |
| 82639 I don't trust luck. |
| 82640 We're due a little luck, I think. |
| 82641 You're right there. All right. Let's go ride some logs. |
| 82642 I'm due a small fortune and an estate in the countryside, but I don't expect to get either any time soon. |
| 82643 Luck? No. What we're due is blood. |
| 82644 You know how to swim, <CHARNAME>? If not, I hope you're a quick learner. |
| 82645 The tunnel or the river, you're in fickle fortune's hands either way. If things go badly on the river, you'll only drown. The tunnel could get you blown up, crushed, and then drowned. |
| 82646 The river it is, then. |
| 82647 But if it doesn't, it's pretty much certain to take Alorgoth's people by surprise. You'd have to be insane to try and tunnel under a bloody river. |
| 82648 Then I'll take my chances on the bridge. |
| 82649 A direct assault is the last thing the Sharrans will expect, and with good reason. But after what you've done for us, we'll not let you take the risk alone. |
| 82650 I wish you the best of luck, <CHARNAME>. I'd back you up if I could, but we've lost too many people already. I'll not see the rest of us dashed on the rocks of our own home. |
| 82651 It's not far from where the Sharrans pick up the lumber we sent across the river. |
| 82652 We've a better chance with this than a direct assault. |
| 82653 There'll be plenty of that soon enough, I think. So what's it going to be? The river or the tunnel? |
| 82654 The river is our best chance for success. |
| 82655 Meems put so much work into the tunnel. It'd be a shame to see it go to waste. |
| 82656 Neither. There's a perfectly good door on the side of that mountain, and I mean to use it. |
| 82657 All right, then. Let's go clear us a tunnel. |
| 82658 I'm with you, <CHARNAME>. And I know just how to attack. There's a way into the mountain, one the Sharrans probably haven't discovered yet. |
| 82659 Is there a way to reach it without alerting the bridge or main entry guards? |
| 82660 The key word there is "probably." |
| 82661 I'll enter the mountains the same way the Sharrans did: through the front door. |
| 82662 Let's be away from here! |
| 82663 With a little luck, we might escape the guards' notice by riding the logs downstream. |
| 82664 Worth a try. Let's do it. |
| 82665 Are you feeling lucky, Cuddy? Because I'm really, really not. |
| 82666 I don't trust luck. |
| 82667 Then trust me, <CHARNAME>. This is the best chance we've got. |
| 82668 All right, Cuddy. I'm with you. |
| 82669 I'll take my chances at the main entry. |
| 82670 Follow me, and for the love of Moradin, stay quiet. |
| 82671 What is this? |
| 82672 Die, worshipper of the Dark Moon! |
| 82673 We're under attack! The Dark Moon is under attack! |
| 82674 Who goes there? |
| 82675 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 82676 You don't recognize me? I'm hurt. |
| 82677 I'd tell you my name, but you're about to die and I'd rather not waste my breath. |
| 82678 And I am Rasaad yn Bashir. |
| 82679 Bashir? Here? Are you mad, man? |
| 82680 Mad angry, not mad crazy. |
| 82681 Pray to Shar, minion of Alorgoth. But do it quickly, for you've precious little time left. |
| 82682 My name is Rasaad yn Bashir. |
| 82683 It doesn't matter. Whoever you are, you're not welcome here. Begone. |
| 82684 Is that your last word? Are you sure there's no compromise to be made here? |
| 82685 But I've come all this way... |
| 82686 I'm not welcome here? I know some dwarves that would likely say the same of you. |
| 82687 You'll go nowhere else ever again if you don't leave now. |
| 82688 If there's one thing I cannot tolerate, it's rudeness. On your guard, sir. |
| 82689 Just so I'm clear: Do I have to leave the bridge via the same side I started across it? |
| 82690 One of us will walk off this bridge, and one will be carried off. Let's find out which is which, shall we? |
| 82691 I warned you. |
| 82692 You'll pay for your insolence, then. |
| 82693 I said begone. Now be. Gone. |
| 82694 If there's one thing I cannot tolerate, it's rudeness. On your guard, sir. |
| 82695 Gladly. If you'd just stand aside, I'll be on my way. |
| 82696 One of us will walk off this bridge, and the other won't live to see them do it. Let's find out which is which. |
| 82697 I'll see you dead for that! |
| 82698 We are attacked! |
| 82699 Die as your master will die, dog! |
| 82700 Lock the doors! Seal off the mountain! |
| 82701 Try it, Sharran! I'll chop your mountain down with the side of my hand! |
| 82702 The Sharrans are crushed beneath the Deepstone! We must press on! |
| 82703 Death to the intruders! |
| 82704 No. Wait here. |
| 82705 No. Assemble your people outside. I'll take care of the Sharrans. |
| 82706 Thou'rt mad, <PRO_RACE>! We've barely begun to clear our mountain of the Sharran scourge. |
| 82707 We'll clear it fasterâ€â€and with less risk to your peopleâ€â€if you stay here and await my call. |
| 82708 You've spent weeks under the heel of the Sharrans. You're weak, unprepared. I don't need you dragging me down. Go back to the forest and await word. |
| 82709 You're right. Forward! |
| 82710 All right. We'll play it your wayâ€â€for now. |
| 82711 I don't like leaving the fate of my home in the hands of a stranger. But I'll do as you sayâ€â€for now. |
| 82712 We've waited long enoughâ€â€too longâ€â€already. My dwarves of Deepstoneâ€â€FORWARD! |
| 82713 Intruders! Kill them all! |
| 82714 For Shar! |
| 82715 For Alorgoth! |
| 82716 For my fallen brethren! |
| 82717 For myself! |
| 82718 For justice! |
| 82719 For the love of all the gods, can we just kill them now? |
| 82720 Ah! Who are you? How did you get in here? |
| 82721 My name's <CHARNAME>. I'm here to free you. |
| 82722 You mean you didn't know about the secret passage? I thought everyone knew about the secret passage. |
| 82723 What matters is what I intend to do now that I've arrived. Stand aside; I've Sharrans to slay. |
| 82724 Our freedom means nothing while the Sharrans hold Deepstone. |
| 82725 They'll not hold it much longer, Fillis. |
| 82726 Deepdug? I thought you dead. |
| 82727 The Sharrans think your spirit dead. Let's show them otherwise. |
| 82728 Give it a little time. Very little. I'm thinking an hour, at the outside. |
| 82729 He may be soon, but he'll not die alone. |
| 82730 Don't listen to them. <CHARNAME> wouldn't be here if they didn't believe we could triumph over Alorgoth and his minions. |
| 82731 The minions of the Dark Moon will pay for what they've done here. |
| 82732 Aye. It's what they've done here that drives ye. Pull the other one, y'bloody hypocrite. |
| 82733 So what's the plan? |
| 82734 You and Cuddy know the clanhold better than I. What do you suggest? |
| 82735 The Sharrans don't know we're here yet. We'll take as many of them out quietly before they realize we're here. |
| 82736 Find a Sharran. Kill a Sharran. Find another. Repeat until they all lie dead or flee. |
| 82737 This is <CHARNAME>. I brought them here. |
| 82738 We're with you. |
| 82739 You're going to get us killed, you damn fool! |
| 82740 Free us? You're going to get us killed, you damn fool! |
| 82741 Pull yourself together, Fillis! This is the chance we've been waiting for. |
| 82742 Fight with me to liberate your home. |
| 82743 Yes! This is your chance! Uh, to do what, precisely? |
| 82744 The halls of Deepstone will run red with the blood of the Dark Moon this <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 82745 What're you saying? |
| 82746 We've a way out of the mountain the Sharrans don't know about. What do you think we're going to do? |
| 82747 Fight the Sharrans when you've shown us a way out? You're mad, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 82748 We need everyone we can get if we're to drive the Sharrans out of Deepstone. |
| 82749 There are too many of them. We must flee. |
| 82750 Your cowardice shames your kin, Killis Copperpot. |
| 82751 Cuddy? I thought you were dead. |
| 82752 The Dark Moon thinks Clan Deepstone dead, or as good as. Today, they learn how wrong they are. |
| 82753 Give it an hour or two. |
| 82754 The Sharrans will soon wish he were. |
| 82755 Better to die fightin' for me home than run like a rat from those who stole it. |
| 82756 All right, Cuddy. You've made your point. We're with you. |
| 82757 All right. We're with you. |
| 82758 Not exactly a subtle strategy, is it? |
| 82759 You have a better one? |
| 82760 I've had my fill of subtlety. |
| 82761 Subtlety's for Alorgoth and his ilk. |
| 82762 Get ready to make room for dessert, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 82763 I might. |
| 82764 You really are a cook, aren't you? |
| 82765 The Sharrans hold *dozens* of our kinsmen in the mines. We can use the dumbwaiter to get you down there. |
| 82766 That'd give us a veritable army to fight the Sharrans. |
| 82767 I like it. Let's go. |
| 82768 You go and free your people in the mines. I'll keep Shar's servants... distracted. |
| 82769 You go to the mines and free your people. That should keep the Sharrans distracted while I do my work up here. |
| 82770 I need no army. I just need Sharrans to kill. |
| 82771 May the Luckmaiden smile upon you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 82772 Brightaxe be with you. |
| 82773 You'll find an abundance of those throughout the clanhold. |
| 82774 The time for subtlety's over. Now's the time for caving in skulls! |
| 82775 Alorgoth's taken Lord Deepstone's chambers as his own. There's two guards, Jassar and Sephos. Nasty pieces of work, the both of 'em. |
| 82776 Intruders! |
| 82777 Shani, bar the door! |
| 82778 Where is Alorgoth, dog? |
| 82779 You'll never know, dead man. |
| 82780 What? Who are you? What are you doing here? |
| 82781 My name is <CHARNAME>. Don't be afraid. |
| 82782 The clanhold is under attack. Alorgoth sent me to gather his things. |
| 82783 I am <CHARNAME>, and I'm slaughtering members of the Dark Moon order. I believe you are among their soon-to-be rapidly dwindling number? |
| 82784 Aye, don't be afraidâ€â€be bloody terrified! |
| 82785 What do you want? Where are Sephos and Jassar? |
| 82786 I want Clanhold Deepstone free from the malign influence of Shar. Go now if you want to live. |
| 82787 They're right outside the door. I'd join them if I were you. |
| 82788 Everything you've got, starting with your misbegotten life. |
| 82789 Die as my brother died, Dark Moon worm! |
| 82790 Eat steel, y'Sharran maggot! |
| 82791 This is terrible! I'll gather his things now. |
| 82792 Really? Where are Sephos and Jassar? |
| 82793 You don't want to know. |
| 82794 Dead at the intruders' hands. Now move quickly, we don't have much time. |
| 82795 I'll show you. |
| 82796 I'll gladly die in service to my lord! |
| 82797 Die for Shar, miscreant! |
| 82798 All right... |
| 82799 This doesn't make sense. Sephos and Jassar should be here, protecting the master's valuables. |
| 82800 That's everything. What should I do now? |
| 82801 Flee the clanhold. Try to avoid any dwarves, they're in rather a savage frame of mind. |
| 82802 Bar the door and wait here. I'll return for you when it's safe. |
| 82803 Now? Now you can die. |
| 82804 Shar's blessings be upon you. |
| 82805 Well, <PRO_HESHE>'s right about that. |
| 82806 Y'like dwarven food, do you? Have a taste of my axe! |
| 82807 Did you enjoy the food, servants of Alorgoth? It was your last you'll ever taste. |
| 82808 What the� Intruders! Guards! GUARDS! |
| 82809 Eat quickly, filth. There's work to be done. |
| 82810 Leave us to eat in peace, Taddaus. The work'll get done, and it'll get done faster if you fed us somethin' better than this slop. |
| 82811 Insolent guttersnipe! You'll feel the lash for that. |
| 82812 You'll feel my wrath first, Sharran! |
| 82813 Whatâ€â€who are you? |
| 82814 I am <CHARNAME>. And you have one chance to leave this room alive. |
| 82815 Nobody you ever wanted to meet. |
| 82816 I am the death of the Dark Moon order. |
| 82817 You threaten one of Shar's chosen, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. For that, you will die. |
| 82818 The Dark Moon will never die! |
| 82819 I don't know who you are, stranger, but if I weren't a married man, I'd ask for your hand. |
| 82820 The name's <CHARNAME>. Follow me. We've a clanhold to cleanse. |
| 82821 This is no time for romance. There's a secret passage out of the clanhold back in the kitchen. You can use it to get free. |
| 82822 I'd chat if I could, but this isn't the time. |
| 82823 Then give me a weapon and call me the maid. |
| 82824 Cuddy Dugdeep! I feared you were dead. |
| 82825 Wait! Where are you goin'? |
| 82826 You tell me. Where are the Sharrans? |
| 82827 To finish what I've started. Stay here and stay quiet until you hear the screaming start. |
| 82828 To rid Deepstone of Shar's vermin. |
| 82829 You'll not do it alone, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 82830 Make sure it starts quickly. |
| 82831 Here, I'll draw ye a map. |
| 82832 Aye, I'll do that. Ye have my thanks, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 82833 This here's the kitchen. You'll likely find two dwarves in there, Killis and Fillis. As fighters, they make fine cooks. |
| 82834 Next door's another dining roomâ€â€the nice one. That's where the Sharrans eat when they're not down in the mines. Be careful there, you never know how many of 'em you'll find at any given time. |
| 82835 Main entrance is here. The bulk of the Sharrans in the clanhold are inside the main entryway, which is good news for you. If you can get the door closed, it locks from the inside. The Sharrans might be able to break through, but it'll take them a while. |
| 82836 Barracks. Used to be where me and mine spent the night. The Sharrans keep most of us in cages in the mines. Don't know how many of the dogs you'll find there, but they're not likely to be ready for a fight. You could try blocking the door. It doesn't lock and it's not as sturdy as the hall entrance, but it might keep them off your back a spell. |
| 82837 The entrance to the mine room is locked from the inside. Getting in there'll be tricky. |
| 82838 The furnace room. Normally this is where we repair broken tools and the like. Now it's where the Sharrans break us. They've got a torturer called Murundhi, Inquisitor Murundhi. He and I've had a few go-rounds. He's as bad a piece of work as you'll find outside of Alorgoth himself. |
| 82839 Alorgoth has taken the chambers of Lord Deepstone for himself. His personal maid's in there round the clock. Little slip of a thing, shouldn't be no trouble. What will be trouble is the pair he's got guarding the chambers, Sephos and Jassar. I don't know what he's keepin' in there, but with those two watching over it, you can bet it's somethin' he doesn't want anyone else getting at. |
| 82840 Listen to those screams, <CHARNAME>. What sort of hell does Alorgoth force these people to endure? |
| 82841 Let it out, dwarf. Scream out all the anger and the hate. You will leave this place broken in body or spirit or both. Surrender yourself to the anguish, let it wash over you, and know this is resistance's only reward. |
| 82842 You're early. This one's still got a couple of hours left in him. Wait. You're not Dellan. Who are you? |
| 82843 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 82844 Dellan broke his foot. I've come to get the prisoner. |
| 82845 One who can teach you a thing or two about suffering. |
| 82846 Die, torturer! |
| 82847 I know that name... Where do I know that name from? |
| 82848 Give it a moment. It'll come to you. |
| 82849 You don't know the name of the <PRO_MANWOMAN> who killed you? What're they teaching you in this cult? |
| 82850 Ask around when you get to hell. I've sent many of your kind there. |
| 82851 Wait. You're the one who Kill them! Kill them now! |
| 82852 Cult� Heretic! Kill them! |
| 82853 Then you'll have company when you arrive, fool! |
| 82854 No, no, you can't take my toy. I've not broken it yet. |
| 82855 Toys? You call your victims toys? |
| 82856 I'll break you, torturer. |
| 82857 You're about to lose more than a toy, zealot. |
| 82858 Torturer? I am an artist. Have you no appreciation forâ€â€no, I can see that you do not. You're not of the Dark Moon. Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 82859 Victims? Such an ugly term. I prefer to think of them asâ€â€wait. You're not of the Dark Moon. Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 82860 There's no sin in the zealous execution of one's duty. Ah, wait. I understand. You're not one of us, are you? |
| 82861 Bold words. Let's put them to the test. |
| 82862 The dwarf is dead. Another life crushed beneath Alorgoth's heel. We must end this, <CHARNAME>. |
| 82863 Stay sharp. The dwarves are still out there, and they're a vicious bunch. They could strike at any second. |
| 82864 So Selûne, Helm, and Tyr walk into an tavern, and the barkeeper says, "Do I know you?" And Selûne saysâ€â€no wait, that's not right. How does that go? |
| 82865 Wish the bloody dwarves would just attack already. At least it'd give us something to do. |
| 82866 How many dwarves does it take to dig a mine? Depends how many whips you've got! |
| 82867 Whose goddess you gotta worship around here to get a drink of water? |
| 82868 Praise be to Sha Wait. I don't know you. Who are you? |
| 82869 Praise Shar. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 82870 I'm no more nor less than you are, sirâ€â€a humble servant of Shar. |
| 82871 I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. I'm <CHARNAME>. |
| 82872 "Sir"? |
| 82873 Is there a problem, sir? |
| 82874 Forgive me, I'm new to the order. Should I call you "Your Holiness," or something else? |
| 82875 You'd have me call you something else? |
| 82876 Are you blind, <PRO_MANWOMAN>? Do I look like a man? |
| 82877 My deepest apologies, ma'am. |
| 82878 You're saying you're a woman? Really...? Are you sure? |
| 82879 Yes. A dead one. |
| 82880 The cheek! Alorgoth will hear of this, believe you me. |
| 82881 I'm sure my reprimand will be harsh, but fair. Good <DAYNIGHTALL> to you. |
| 82882 Of that I've little doubt, though not for the reasons you may think. |
| 82883 You're right about that, dead maâ€â€woman. |
| 82884 "Sir"...! Of all the nerve. Be on your way. Go, get out of my sight! |
| 82885 <CHARNAME>? But that's the name of Shar's teeth! You're a mad <PRO_MANWOMAN>! |
| 82886 "Ma'am." CLEARLY. |
| 82887 "Ma'am"? I am so, so sorry. For multiple reasons. |
| 82888 That may not be as clear as you think, milady. |
| 82889 Clearly a dead ma'am. |
| 82890 What are you� |
| 82891 You're not one of the order. |
| 82892 Don't move, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Not another step. I'm not done with you. |
| 82893 I have business in another part of the clanhold that really can't wait. |
| 82894 Oh, I really think you are done with me. And everything else, with the possible exception of bleeding. |
| 82895 I gave you a chance, woman. |
| 82896 What kind of business? |
| 82897 Urgent business. |
| 82898 It's a matter of life and death. Specifically, yours. |
| 82899 All right then, be off with you. But don't think you've heard the last of this. |
| 82900 GUARDS! GUARDS! HELP ME! |
| 82901 Die, dogs! |
| 82902 What is this� |
| 82903 The mines are under assault! Help us! |
| 82904 Death to the Dark Moon! Paint the mines red with Sharran blood! |
| 82905 ALORGOTH! Your end is at hand! |
| 82906 Look at this, <CHARNAME>. Is there no end to the degradations Alorgoth will see his victims endure? |
| 82907 Praise be to Shar. |
| 82908 And to her loyal servants. I've come to take the prisoners. |
| 82909 Er, hello. My name is <CHARNAME>. I'm traveling to Ompis Beach, but I seem to have made a wrong turn somewhere. Could you tell me where I am? |
| 82910 Praise <CHARNAME>. |
| 82911 Who? |
| 82912 Me. Now run along while you're still able. |
| 82913 You haven't heard of the <PRO_MANWOMAN> who drove the Dark Moon from Deepstone? What do they teach you in your cult? |
| 82914 <CHARNAME>, the <PRO_MANWOMAN> who killed you. |
| 82915 Ompis beach? I've never heard of it |
| 82916 You're an idiot, Dellan. And you, strangerâ€â€you've taken a wrong turn all right. The last you'll ever make. |
| 82917 On whose authority? I've heard nothing about a transfer. |
| 82918 Alorgoth wants all their little hands put to work. |
| 82919 You haven't? I swear, I love Shar and all, but sometimes I think the Dark Moon order should be called the Dark Moon Utter Bloody Chaos. Am I right? |
| 82920 <CHARNAME>'s. |
| 82921 Hah! The <PRO_RACE> has the truth of it. |
| 82922 Dellan, you fool! You wouldn't recognize an enemy if one stabbed you in the back. |
| 82923 I don't know how much this lot'll be worth, but if that's what Alorgoth desires, it shall be done. |
| 82924 Something smells here. Who ordered the transfer? |
| 82925 Alorgoth ordered it. Do you really want me to tell him you refused? |
| 82926 That's the dwarf's cooking. I think they're trying to poison us. |
| 82927 I order it. And you'll regret interfering with it, though not, I think, for long. |
| 82928 Hah! You're right about that. All right, Alorgoth wants the dwarves. |
| 82929 That's doubtless the case. But I can't help noticing you didn't answer my question. |
| 82930 I was afraid you might notice that. |
| 82931 Er, what was the question again? |
| 82932 While I can't help notice you're still breathing. Let me fix that. |
| 82933 Nice try, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 82934 What would he have them do? |
| 82935 I'll handle it. Take a breakâ€â€you look like you could use it. |
| 82936 We're in a mine. What do you think he'd have them do? |
| 82937 I've no idea. I, however, would have them grind your bones into a fine dust. |
| 82938 You're right about that. Come on, Dellan, let's see if the overseers have left us anything to eat. |
| 82939 What're youâ€â€oh, Shar's teeth! |
| 82940 The Dark Moon shall fall, as surely as you're about to! |
| 82941 You're killing us, Sharran. You know that, don't you? We've barely had an hour's rest in the last two days. |
| 82942 I'm no Sharran. I just played the role to get you out of the pens. You're free now. Do what you will. |
| 82943 You can rest when the Sharrans have been driven from Deepstone. |
| 82944 You're the ones who'll be doing the killing now, dwarf. |
| 82945 What's this you say? |
| 82946 You're free to do as you will. For my part, I plan to kill the Sharrans' leader. |
| 82947 It made my skin crawl to pretend at being a Sharran, but the deception was necessary to see you freed. |
| 82948 Let me paint you a picture, dwarf: an abstract piece, all crimson and red, the exact color of the blood and guts of those who've held your captive these past weeks. |
| 82949 What's your name, <PRO_GIRLBOY>? |
| 82950 <CHARNAME>. |
| 82951 I am Haralt Deepstone, lord of this clanhold. I and my kin are in your debt. Should we both survive the day, I'll see you rewarded for your efforts. |
| 82952 ALL RIGHT, BOYS! I know you're tired of breaking rocks, but I hope you've still got it in you to break some heads! Let's show these Shar-licking mongrels what Deepstone's made of! |
| 82953 Freed, you say? |
| 82954 There's no need to take that tone. I was merely asking. All right. Let's move the shrimps out. |
| 82955 I can take care of that. Why don't you take a few minutes for yourselves? You look like a man who could use a break. |
| 82956 Alorgoth said you were to remain here. |
| 82957 I'll move them out. Your days of moving are at an end. |
| 82958 Remain here and what? Stand guard over empty cages? It was a nice try, <PRO_RACE>, but I'm not buying it. |
| 82959 Alorgoth's minions are without mercy. |
| 82960 Move it, you lazy beasts! I'll not face rebuke on your account. |
| 82961 Faster! Move faster or the shadows will feast on your bones! |
| 82962 I heard dwarves were good at mining. Yet watching you lot, I think I've been misled. |
| 82963 You shiftless runts are the best this rock has to offer? Little wonder you fell so easily! |
| 82964 You disgust me! I've seen legless men move faster! |
| 82965 Hail Shar! |
| 82966 And all those who serve her. I've been ordered to transfer the slaves. |
| 82967 I'd really rather not. |
| 82968 No, I won't be doing that. |
| 82969 Fall as your master will fall! |
| 82970 You insult the goddess? Die! |
| 82971 What? Where? |
| 82972 Deeper into the mines. Alorgoth commands it. |
| 82973 Outside. We're to free them. |
| 82974 You needn't concern yourself with that. You've much more pressing things to concern yourself with. |
| 82975 You're not of the Dark Moon. Kill them! For Alorgoth! |
| 82976 All right, you wretched lumps. You're being moved. Line up, line up, quickly, move it. |
| 82977 Where am I to take them? |
| 82978 I'll take the prisoners. You're to remain here. |
| 82979 No one told you? Well, isn't that typical? All right, I'll take the prisoners with me and see what's up. You stay here. |
| 82980 Straight to Hell, bootlicker. |
| 82981 And with that, your treachery stands revealed. Kill them! |
| 82982 To Hell, you say? You go first, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 82983 I think not. Did you really think you could fool me, <PRO_RACE>? Kill them! |
| 82984 What� That makes no sense. |
| 82985 I don't disagree, but who am I to question the will of the master? |
| 82986 So few things do, when religion's involved. |
| 82987 It'll make more sense after I've finished caving your skull in. |
| 82988 Iâ€â€very well. |
| 82989 It's not just your lot we're to free, either. Tell the others upstairs to send the dwarves out of Deepstone. |
| 82990 You are a good and worthy servant of Alorgoth. I'll be sure to point it out to him. |
| 82991 Well, don't just stand there. Do as Alorgoth commands. |
| 82992 I thank you for that. |
| 82993 It will be done. |
| 82994 I don't believe that worked. |
| 82995 We should not have let the overseers go. That mercy will come back to haunt us. |
| 82996 The monk's right. There's only one fit response to those trespassing in a clanhold. |
| 82997 Um, aren't we technically trespassing? |
| 82998 This is no trespass, girlie. Least not one worth the name. |
| 82999 Ew. Ew ew ew ew ew. I mean, just EWWWW! |
| 83000 No follower of the Dark Moon would speak so. Kill them! |
| 83001 Considering the fact you just killed some folks in dire need of killing, I hope you won't think me rude when I ask: Who the hell are you? |
| 83002 A friend. My name's <CHARNAME>. I'm here to scrub Deepstone clean of the Sharran slime that's overrun it. |
| 83003 I'm <CHARNAME>. Were I in your bootsâ€â€well, first, I'd be terribly uncomfortable, because our feet aren't the same size. But second and more importantly, I'd be keen to wreak a little terrible vengeance upon those that wronged me. |
| 83004 <CHARNAME>. I'm working on taking care of your Sharran problem. Wait here and stay quiet. |
| 83005 <CHARNAME>. See that you remember it. When this is all over, I'll expect to see my efforts well rewarded. |
| 83006 We seek Alorgoth. Do you know where he is? |
| 83007 I like the sound of that. |
| 83008 Where can I find Alorgoth? |
| 83009 I thought you might. |
| 83010 I've not seen him myself, you understand, but the word gets 'round. If it's Alorgoth you're wanting, you'll need to go to the end of the line. |
| 83011 My feet feel just fine, but beyond that you've accurately summed up my general position. FOLLOW ME, BOYS! It's time Deepstone struck back! |
| 83012 FOLLOW ME, BOYS! It's time Deepstone struck back! |
| 83013 I'll make sure of it. |
| 83014 I'd rather the Sharrans feel my wrath than yours, but we'll play it your wayâ€â€for now. |
| 83015 Alorgoth is near. I can feel him. |
| 83016 There's no way across here. We have to go back. |
| 83017 I'm feeling a lot of things, but mostly uneasy. Do mines usually glow purple? |
| 83018 Unless you've sprouted wings, he might as well be in Waterdeep. |
| 83019 I'm with you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 83020 Yer underground glows are usually white, yellow, or green. Never seen purple before. Kinda wish I wasn't seeing it now. |
| 83021 There's no way across here. We must go back. |
| 83022 I could've gotten us across, once. |
| 83023 What is gone is gone, Aerie. Best not to dwell upon it. |
| 83024 You're advising another not to dwell upon what she's lost? Seriously? |
| 83025 There must be a way to reach Alorgoth. We need to go back. |
| 83026 I could've gotten us across, once. |
| 83027 You've got to let the past go. It'll drag you into the Abyss if you let it. |
| 83028 Alorgoth is here. I'm certain of it. |
| 83029 Faster, you dogs! Move your lazy hides! |
| 83030 Ah! Mercy, please! We're going as fast as we can! |
| 83031 Step it up, you wretches! Do you want to feed the shadows? |
| 83032 Is that all your hands can give Shar? I'll feed you your fingers, see if I don't! Apparently, that's all they're good for! |
| 83033 You there, I don't know you. Who are you? What's your business down here? |
| 83034 I've come for Alorgoth. Where is he? |
| 83035 I represent the Athkatlan mining authority. I'm here investigating complaints about Deepstone's woeful safety record this past few weeks. What's your name? |
| 83036 Bloody. |
| 83037 We have an intruder! Kill them! |
| 83038 Die, lackey! |
| 83039 You'll die before you lay eyes on the master! |
| 83040 Your master dies this day! |
| 83041 Crush the Sharrans! For Deepstone, they die! |
| 83042 Hear me, dwarves of Deepstone! Alorgoth has wronged us all! It's time for him to pay the price! |
| 83043 Alorgoth! Face me, coward! |
| 83044 What is this voice I hear? Who are you, stranger? |
| 83045 You know my name, fiend! |
| 83046 He's provoking you, Rasaad. Don't succumb to rage. |
| 83047 You play the fool well, Alorgoth! Or maybe you're NOT playing... |
| 83048 And now he'll know our vengeance! |
| 83049 Protect Alorgoth! Defend the master! |
| 83050 Yxtrazzal! Spin the Wheel of Obliteration! Let darkness reign! |
| 83051 Rasaad, is it? The name seems... familiar. |
| 83052 You killed my brother! |
| 83053 I've killed many men's brothers. Could you be more specific? |
| 83054 His name was Gamaz, and he will be avenged! |
| 83055 You hurt my feelings, <CHARNAME>. Oh yes, I know who you are, you and Rasaad both. Meddlers, trying to play a game you have no hope of winning. |
| 83056 A game, Alorgoth? Is that what you think this is? |
| 83057 Your mouth says one thing, Alorgoth, our presence here another altogether. |
| 83058 Hope is a refuge for the weak, Alorgoth. My victory is assured. |
| 83059 I'm GLAD you're here, <CHARNAME>. You and especially Rasaad. It amuses me to know he bears witness to the full scope of his utter failure. |
| 83060 Yes, of course, a grand game of light and darkness, and the murky space between both. A murk you've come to know well, eh, Rasaad? |
| 83061 Damn you, Alorgoth |
| 83062 Hah! You would damn me, you who so eagerly damned himself? |
| 83063 Don't listen to him, Rasaad. It's not true. |
| 83064 Damnation is for those who can sink lower than they are. I don't think you qualify. |
| 83065 I don't want to damn you, Alorgoth. I'll settle for killing you. |
| 83066 Oh, but it is. |
| 83067 Whatever its origins, the Twofold Truth is a worthy creed. |
| 83068 The Twofold Heresy was just too attractive to resist, wasn't it, Rasaad? One whiff of the Trust and you willingly forsook your precious Sun Soul philosophy. |
| 83069 Your Twofold Trust was built on lies. It must have driven you mad, seeing Rasaad turn it towards a higher purpose. |
| 83070 Whatever his deeds, Rasaad's heart was ever with Selûne. |
| 83071 Enough! I'd sooner die than listen to your insane rambling. |
| 83072 If that's your wish. Kill them. Kill them all! |
| 83073 A hypocrite's rationalization. A man is defined by deeds, not desire. |
| 83074 Oh? Then how do you defend your own part in the creation of the Twofold Trust? |
| 83075 Then you are the definition of a villain. |
| 83076 Then let your death define us! |
| 83077 The Twofold Trust was a ruse, nothing more. |
| 83078 A villain? Not at all. I am but a loyal servant to my goddess. |
| 83079 You deceive yourself, <CHARNAME>. But Rasaad knows I speak the truth. Don't you, Rasaad? |
| 83080 Explain it to me, Alorgoth. Explain the Trust, and then I'll kill you. |
| 83081 Your work with the Trust may have redeemed your fallen Selûnite brethren, Rasaad, but it had served my purpose long before that. |
| 83082 What purpose? Why would you weaken the Dark Moon by luring Shar's servants to the Trust? |
| 83083 An easy claim to makeâ€â€and a hollow one. |
| 83084 I care nothing for your purposeâ€â€just your death. |
| 83085 The heresy holds no appeal to those who are true to Shar. It was those traitors who could be turned to the Twofold that weakened our order. Ridding Shar's house of the disloyal was reason enough to concoct the Trust. But eliminating them and destabilizing the Sun Soul order were just happy accidents. The Twofold Heresy was but a means to my final end. |
| 83086 What end is that, monster? |
| 83087 Your death will be no accident, Alorgoth. But it'll make me very happy indeed. |
| 83088 Your final end is upon you now! |
| 83089 Look around you, <PRO_RACE>. The flower of my labors blossoms soon. The portal between planes is about to open! And when it does, an endless army of shadow creatures will emerge. This world will soon know the power and the glory that is Shar! |
| 83090 That will never happen. |
| 83091 Hey, Rasaad, shouldn't you have killed this guy a couple minutes ago? |
| 83092 You will soon know my power, Alorgoth. And it will be glorious. |
| 83093 I should have killed him long before that. |
| 83094 You cannot stop it, <CHARNAME>. The process is already begun. Yxtrazzal, spin the Wheel of Obliteration! Let darkness reign! |
| 83095 NO! You won't escape me, Alorgoth! I won't allow it! |
| 83096 I know not what lies on the other side of that portal, but I've come too far to turn back now. It's been an honor to walk at your side, <CHARNAME>. Farewell. |
| 83097 You won't get rid of me that easily, Rasaad. |
| 83098 May the Twofold keep and watch over you. |
| 83099 May Selûne guide and keep you. |
| 83100 I would see Alorgoth die with my own eyes, Rasaad. |
| 83101 I cannot ask you to join me where I am going. |
| 83102 You don't need to. |
| 83103 Don't let me beg you to come along. |
| 83104 You cannot stop me from going where I will. |
| 83105 Together then, into the realm of shadows. |
| 83106 Remember me to my brothers and sisters, <CHARNAME>. |
| 83107 Welcome, <CHARNAME>, welcome. You've come a long way. I'm glad you're here. |
| 83108 I'm glad you're here, Alorgoth. It'll make it easier to finish this. |
| 83109 You know me? |
| 83110 That won't last. |
| 83111 Oh yes, I know who you are. A meddler, trying to play a game you have no hope of winning. |
| 83112 A game, Alorgoth? Is that what you think this is? |
| 83113 Your mouth says one thing, Alorgoth, my presence here another altogether. |
| 83114 Hope is a refuge for the weak, Alorgoth. My victory is assured. |
| 83115 Yes, of course, a grand game of light and darkness, and the murky spaces between them. |
| 83116 Protect Alorgoth! Defend the master! |
| 83117 Yxtrazzal! Spin the Wheel of Obliteration! Let darkness reign! |
| 83118 Look around you, <PRO_RACE>. The flower of my labors blossoms soon. The portal between planes is about to open! And when it does, an endless army of shadow creatures will emerge. This world will soon know the power and the glory that is Shar! |
| 83119 That will never happen. |
| 83120 You really want to waste your final breaths on boot-kissing? Your call, scum. |
| 83121 You will soon know my power, Alorgoth. And it will be glorious. |
| 83122 You cannot stop it, <CHARNAME>. The process is already begun. Yxtrazzal, spin the Wheel of Obliteration! Let darkness reign! |
| 83123 Alorgoth! You cannot escape! |
| 83124 You follow me to the Plane of Shadows? Your bravery is matched only by your stupidityâ€â€or your madness. |
| 83125 And your evil is without parallel! |
| 83126 True, but you must admit I AM pretty brave. |
| 83127 You stand in a world of darkness and call me mad? |
| 83128 No more words! Gamaz's vengeance is at hand! |
| 83129 I think I am possessed of a madnessâ€â€a madness that will end with your life, dark one! |
| 83130 Yxtrazzal, you must be uncomfortable in that skin. Cast it off. Let our friend understand the true nature of what <PRO_HESHE> faces here. And activate the Wheel of Obliteration once again; let us seal the gate temporarily. There is no escape from this trap. |
| 83131 As you wish, master. |
| 83132 She's a shadow dragon! |
| 83133 A hundred dragons won't save you from me, Alorgoth! |
| 83134 In Shar's name, perish! |
| 83135 You cannot hope to defeat me here! |
| 83136 Your death is inevitable, <CHARNAME>. Accept it and I'll make it quick! |
| 83137 Fight! Fight on! It will just make your end that much more sweet. |
| 83138 Yxtrazzal! Stop playing with this insect and finish <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 83139 Die, you insignificant maggots! Die in Shar's name! |
| 83140 You struggle against the inevitable. Accept Shar's cold embrace and die! |
| 83141 Yxtrazzal! No! You will pay for her death! I'll tear your soul from your body! You can't escape from me! |
| 83142 Your dragon is dead, Alorgoth! You will join her soon! |
| 83143 We can't stay here, Rasaad! The entire area's about to collapse. |
| 83144 We'll all join her soon if we don't get out of here! |
| 83145 Rasaad! Forget vengeance a moment and think about your own survival! We must flee! |
| 83146 I'm getting out of here before it's too late. Join me. |
| 83147 Let it! Alorgoth and I will both be buried here! |
| 83148 I'll leave when Alorgoth lies dead at my feet! |
| 83149 You go, <CHARNAME>! I must see this through to the end. |
| 83150 Don't be a fool! The end doesn't have to be as bitter as you're making it. |
| 83151 Can't you see it through to the end from outside of this place? |
| 83152 Good luck, Rasaad. I hope it's all worth it. |
| 83153 I cannot turn back now! I will not, not when I'm so close. Go now, while there's still time! |
| 83154 This isn't somewhere we want to be, <CHARNAME>. |
| 83155 What's that, Boo? You need to speak up; I can't hear you over the incredibly loud rumbling. |
| 83156 I can think of few more appropriate places to meet my end, <CHARNAME>â€â€but I'd rather not meet it yet. |
| 83157 The rumbling's getting louder. This is not good. It is the exact opposite of good, in fact. This is very, very, very, very, very, very bad... |
| 83158 We cannot remain here, <CHARNAME>. |
| 83159 I'm damned if I'll meet my end here in this plane of dark magic. |
| 83160 Mmmm, this scenario... far from ideal. You know what they say: Discretion is the better part of surviving an interdimensional collapse. |
| 83161 Let Alorgoth go, <CHARNAME>! He isn't worth it! |
| 83162 In my experience, it's better to be diggin' into a place than tryin' to dig out of it. |
| 83163 Is my flock to be lost in this heart of darkness? |
| 83164 This isn't somewhere we want to be, <CHARNAME>. |
| 83165 What's that, Boo? You need to speak up; I can't hear you over the incredibly loud rumbling. |
| 83166 I can think of few more appropriate places to meet my end, <CHARNAME>â€â€but I'd rather not meet it yet. |
| 83167 The rumbling's getting louder. This is not good. It is the exact opposite of good, in fact. This is very, very, very, very, very, very bad... |
| 83168 We cannot remain here, <CHARNAME>. |
| 83169 I'm damned if I'll meet my end here in this plane of dark magic. |
| 83170 Mmmm, this scenario... far from ideal. You know what they say: Discretion is the better part of surviving an interdimensional collapse. |
| 83171 Let Alorgoth go, <CHARNAME>! He isn't worth it! |
| 83172 In my experience, it's better to be diggin' into a place than tryin' to dig out of it. |
| 83173 Is my flock to be lost in this heart of darkness? |
| 83174 No! Stay away from the Wheel! |
| 83175 It's my wheel now, villain! |
| 83176 Well, if you insist... then I REALLY want to see what the wheel can do. |
| 83177 Make us, if you think you can. |
| 83178 Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! Kill <PRO_HIMHER> now! |
| 83179 <CHARNAME>! He's too powerful! We can't stay here! |
| 83180 Gamaz will be avenged! |
| 83181 If we stay here, we'll die! |
| 83182 That's great, but who's going to avenge us? |
| 83183 Alorgoth dies or we do! |
| 83184 I'll gladly die if Alorgoth does the same! |
| 83185 Is that what Gamaz would want? |
| 83186 Would you gladly see me dead? |
| 83187 Then let's make sure he does. |
| 83188 What� What are you suggesting, <CHARNAME>? |
| 83189 Would your brother truly see you die to avenge him? Because that's what will happen if we remain here. You're ready to die, I knowâ€â€but are you strong enough to live? |
| 83190 I'm suggesting I want to live, and I'd like you to live, too! |
| 83191 Your brother is dead, Rasaad. I'd not join him. |
| 83192 What have I to live for if not this? |
| 83193 The Sun Soul order needs you! |
| 83194 The Twofold Trust must be rebuilt! You're the only man who can do it! |
| 83195 Do it for Gamaz. I know he'd rather you live than Alorgoth die. |
| 83196 If you can't live for yourself, then do it for me. I need you, Rasaad. |
| 83197 You cannot defeat Alorgothâ€â€not here, not now! He's too powerful. We must retreat and wait for another day. |
| 83198 I've never known you to be a coward, Rasaad. Find a reason to live or don't. I cannot force you to see this my way. |
| 83199 There is no place for me in the Sun Soul orderâ€â€or anywhere else! Not while Alorgoth lives. |
| 83200 The Twofold was only ever a shadow, a shadow cast by Alorgoth. I cannot rebuild what was never real, but I can avenge those who died for it. |
| 83201 I'll not turn back, not now, not when I'm so close. But there's no reason for you to join me. Go now, before it's too late. |
| 83202 We both live or we both die, Rasaad. I'll not leave you alone in the darkness. |
| 83203 May Selûne guide your hand, my friend. |
| 83204 Kill him four times, Rasaad. Once each for you, your goddess, me, and Gamaz. I pray we shall meet again. |
| 83205 You're a fool, Rasaad. A noble fool, but a fool nonetheless. |
| 83206 No, never! Leave this place now, before it's too late! |
| 83207 We both live or we both die, Rasaad. I'll not leave you alone in the darkness. |
| 83208 May Selûne guide your hand, my friend. |
| 83209 Kill him five times, Rasaad. Twice for your goddess and once each for you, me, and Gamaz. |
| 83210 You're a fool, Rasaad. A noble fool, but a fool all the same. |
| 83211 Not gladly, no. |
| 83212 I understand. |
| 83213 Your concern for my welfare is touching. Come on, we need to get out of here now! |
| 83214 Some sacrifices must be made to achieve our objectivesâ€â€but I'll not be one of yours. Farewell, Rasaad. |
| 83215 Very well, <CHARNAME>. You win. I'll go with you. |
| 83216 Then join me in ending this fiend! |
| 83217 Together! |
| 83218 I was afraid you'd say that. |
| 83219 I'll not die for a dead man, Rasaad, or a man who wishes himself dead. Stay here if you must, but I will not. |
| 83220 Then go, before it's too late! |
| 83221 We both live or we both die, Rasaad. I'll not leave you alone in the darkness. |
| 83222 May Selûne guide your hand, my friend. Farewell. |
| 83223 Kill him five times, Rasaad. Twice for your goddess and once each for you, me, and Gamaz. |
| 83224 You're a fool, Rasaad. A noble fool, but a fool all the same. Die if you must; I'll not join you. |
| 83225 Once will be enough for me. Go! |
| 83226 May her light guide you in all things, <CHARNAME>. Now go! |
| 83227 I understand, my friend. Go now, while there's still time. |
| 83228 I am sorry to disappoint you, my friend. Now I beg you, please go! |
| 83229 Time runs short, <CHARNAME>. Go now! |
| 83230 You could not stop me in the physical realm, Rasaad. You haven't a chance in my mistress's domain! |
| 83231 Gamaz! I'll join you soon, and I'll not come alone! |
| 83232 You lied to us, Alorgoth! You promised us a world of light to devour! |
| 83233 You'll have it, I swear! |
| 83234 We'll sup on your soul, deceiver. |
| 83235 No, pleaseâ€â€NO! NOOOOO! |
| 83236 No! Stay away from the Wheel! |
| 83237 It's my wheel now, villain! |
| 83238 Well, if you insist... then I REALLY want to see what the wheel can do. |
| 83239 Make us, if you think you can. |
| 83240 Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! Kill <PRO_HIMHER> now! |
| 83241 <CHARNAME>! He's too powerful! We can't stay here! |
| 83242 I've been trapped in a cold, dark place before, <CHARNAME>. It's not an experience I care to repeat. We must leave, now. |
| 83243 You could not stop me in the physical realm, <CHARNAME>. You haven't a chance in my mistress's domain! |
| 83244 No! It cannot end like this! I'll not allow it! |
| 83245 You lied to us, Alorgoth! You promised us a world of light to devour! |
| 83246 You'll have it, I swear! |
| 83247 We'll sup on your soul, deceiver! |
| 83248 No, pleaseâ€â€NO! NOOOOO! |
| 83249 Is that it? Is it over? Please tell me that's it and it's over. |
| 83250 For us, perhaps. For the dwarves, it's just begun. |
| 83251 We took care of the hard part. |
| 83252 These owls had their wings clipped, but they may yet fly again. |
| 83253 Clan Deepstone is in your debt. And that's not something dwarves with gold are accustomed to. |
| 83254 You owe me nothing. |
| 83255 Let's see what you can do to repay the debt, then. I'd hate for you to feel uncomfortable. |
| 83256 You'll have substantially less gold shortly. |
| 83257 Fear not. By the time this night is over, I plan to be so drunk I can feel nothing at all. |
| 83258 I disagree. Don't fight me on this, I beg you. I've had my fill of bloodshed for the day. |
| 83259 That idea upsets me considerably less this <DAYNIGHTALL> than it once would have. |
| 83260 It is over. |
| 83261 Nothing like mind flayers to make you appreciate the company of an insane vampire. |
| 83262 I'm glad to hear you say so. |
| 83263 There was a distinct note of finality to events, wasn't there? |
| 83264 The monsters are dead. Thank the ancients! |
| 83265 As over as it's like to get, at any rate. |
| 83266 As am I. Let us leave this place, and find another where magic doesn't foul my nose and tongue. |
| 83267 I may not have slain Alorgoth myself, but I believe he is paying the price for his deeds even now. |
| 83268 From the looks of things, he'll be paying it for a long time to come. Hopefully, anyway. |
| 83269 We'll not see him again. Though I kind of wish we would, if only so I could see what those shadow creatures did to him. |
| 83270 A grim bit of business, that. I'm glad we were able to help you, Keno. |
| 83271 The creatures of the Shadow Plane did not seem well pleased with him. |
| 83272 Yay! We saved some brains! |
| 83273 If you'd really like to know, I've some theories I could share with you. |
| 83274 No. Justâ€â€NO. |
| 83275 Thank us, monk. Now where is the Claw of the Black Leopard? |
| 83276 Indeed. |
| 83277 So what will you do with yourself now? |
| 83278 Now that I have had my vengeance... I feel nothing. The loss of Gamaz, my brothers and sisters... the hurt is still there. You ask me what I'll do with myself... In truth, I do not know. |
| 83279 If you need some time to yourself, I'll understand. |
| 83280 Stick with me, Rasaad. I'm sure we'll think of something. |
| 83281 I suggest you drink something stronger than anything we've ever faced, and keep drinking it until something occurs to you. |
| 83282 You usually do, <CHARNAME>. You usually do. |
| 83283 I do not think it would be good for me to be on my own right now. |
| 83284 I had hoped you'd stay with me. |
| 83285 Then continue on with me. I'll always be able to find a use for a man of your skills. |
| 83286 You'll always have your goddess. |
| 83287 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. I've lost much these past few years, but with you, I have the strength to carry on. The closest thing I have to a home now is at your side. |
| 83288 You'd still have me? Even after all the chaos, the bloodshed...? |
| 83289 We lead chaotic and bloody lives. It's not easy to find someone who understands that, harder still to keep them. |
| 83290 What's a little chaos and bloodshed among friends? |
| 83291 Keno, no. You cannot let them pass. |
| 83292 As long as I'm helping create the chaos and the blood shed belongs to someone elseâ€â€why wouldn't I? |
| 83293 You should never have said that, <CHARNAME>. Now you'll never be rid of me... |
| 83294 They honored their end of the bargain, Muhan. We shall do the same. |
| 83295 But after all that's happened... will she have me? |
| 83296 I would. |
| 83297 Can't hurt to ask her. And if she doesn't answer...? Take that as a "yes." |
| 83298 If she doesn't, find another. |
| 83299 The Black Leopard's Claw can be found in the Crypt of Nan Kung Chi, through there. |
| 83300 And you, <CHARNAME>? If I asked whether you would have me, and you didn't answer? |
| 83301 That you could definitely take as a "yes." |
| 83302 My thanks, Keno. |
| 83303 Then ask again. I probably didn't hear you. |
| 83304 Some questions you're better off not asking. |
| 83305 Pleasure doing business with you. |
| 83306 One of these days, I'll do that. See if I don't. |
| 83307 I will do as you suggest, <CHARNAME>. You haven't always steered me in the direction I wanted to go, but you always managed to take me where I needed to be. |
| 83308 Stay out of my way. |
| 83309 Indeed. Some endingsâ€â€like today'sâ€â€can be endured. And some are better off avoided. |
| 83310 I'll pretend I didn't hear that, <CHARNAME>â€â€and pray that she didn't, either. |
| 83311 There'll be time to celebrate later, <CHARNAME>. Keno, where is the scepter? |
| 83312 I could answer that question, and perhaps someday I will. For now, though, I believe I'll stay silent and simply enjoy your company. |
| 83313 Someday, <CHARNAME>, you and I are going to need to sit down and discuss your definition of "little." |
| 83314 Is that it? Is it over? Please tell me that's it and it's over. |
| 83315 It's over for us, perhaps. For the dwarves, it's just begun. |
| 83316 We took care of the hard part. |
| 83317 These owls had their wings clipped, but they may yet fly again. |
| 83318 Clan Deepstone is in your debt. And that's not something dwarves with gold are accustomed to. |
| 83319 You owe me nothing. |
| 83320 Let's see what you can do to repay the debt, then. I'd hate for you to feel uncomfortable. |
| 83321 You'll have substantially less gold shortly. |
| 83322 Fear not. By the time this night is over, I plan to be so drunk I can feel nothing at all. |
| 83323 I disagree. Don't fight me on this, I beg you. I've had my fill of bloodshed for the day. |
| 83324 That idea upsets me considerably less this <DAYNIGHTALL> than it once would have. |
| 83325 As am I. Now, I believe you agreed to let us go get the Claw of the Black Leopard? |
| 83326 I will show you justice! |
| 83327 Die! |
| 83328 Return to the depths! |
| 83329 Foul creatures, suffer my wrath! |
| 83330 Where do these beasts come from? |
| 83331 You fulfilled your end of your bargain with Keno. I thank you for that. |
| 83332 I'm glad we were able to help. |
| 83333 Yay! We saved some brains! |
| 83334 And so you should. Now tell me where I can find the Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 83335 In his desperation, Keno made a mistake. It was not his place to grant you access to the crypt, nor is it mine. Out of respect for what you've done for us, I will allow you to leave. |
| 83336 You speak of respect. Have you none for your fallen commander? |
| 83337 I can live with that. |
| 83338 I'm not going anywhere without the Black Leopard's Claw. |
| 83339 There'll be time to celebrate later, <CHARNAME>. Guardians, where is the scepter? |
| 83340 As am I. Now, I believe your leader agreed to let us go get the Claw of the Black Leopard? |
| 83341 Unfortunately, I cannot. |
| 83342 So be it! |
| 83343 I respect Keno deeply. But I also respect the vows I took to guard this place from all who would defile it. Go now. |
| 83344 Very well. |
| 83345 I'll go when I hold the Claw, monk! |
| 83346 Then join the others who trespassed here in death! |
| 83347 Is that everyoneâ€â€and everythingâ€â€dealt with? |
| 83348 It would appear so. |
| 83349 Not a creature was stirring. |
| 83350 If you ignore the mind flayers' guts, our path is clear. |
| 83351 Which is really how a crypt ought to be, don't you think? |
| 83352 Where's the challenge in that? |
| 83353 Not everything needs to be a challenge. |
| 83354 It's only in being tested that we know our strength. |
| 83355 Let's hope mind flayers are the worst thing we face in this place. |
| 83356 Good. Let's find the Leopard's Claw and get out of here. |
| 83357 That design... |
| 83358 Are you all right, Hexxat? |

| 83364 Bring me Rasaad, the monk. |
| 83365 You understand the language? |
| 83366 Do they tell us where to find the Claw of the Black Leopard? |
| 83367 I'mâ€â€fine. I just... the designs remind me of my mother. |
| 83368 Tell me about her. |
| 83369 You had a mother? |
| 83370 Is this really the time for reflection, Hexxat? |
| 83371 Very droll, <CHARNAME>. |
| 83372 You should not be here, <PRO_RACE>. The master will not take your intrusion lightly. |
| 83373 Leave Nan Kung Chi, leave Shou Lung. Now, before it is too late. |
| 83374 The Black Leopard does not forgive. |
| 83375 You are not safe here. If you would live, leave, while you are still able. |
| 83376 Only a fool would venture further into the tomb. Death awaits there. |
| 83377 My apologies, Hexxat. I'm just not used to seeing you look so... exposed. |
| 83378 If you see a man named Ki Chin Sang, tell him Wo-Lin said he is a pompous idiot. |
| 83379 What is it about the design that reminds you of your mother? |
| 83380 Beware, <PRO_RACE>. There's worse than mind flayers in this tomb. |
| 83381 May the ancestors watch over you. You will need all the help you can get. |
| 83382 It's obvious you have something on your mind, but is this really the time and place you want to explore it? |
| 83383 It's a sensation I could happily do without. |
| 83384 You were talking about your mother? |
| 83385 Beware, <PRO_RACE>. Touch nothing beyond this room. Nan Kung Chi will destroy you for your trespasses soon enough. But his wrath towards those who would defile his resting place will be amplified threefold. |
| 83386 I'll bear that in mind. |
| 83387 Let's talk no more about it, then. |
| 83388 One fold is one fold too many for my tastes. But thanks for the warning. |
| 83389 You fear your master's wrath. You should fear mine. |
| 83391 You won't live to feel the master's fury! |
| 83392 I never knew herâ€â€not well. She was a Mazewalker of Ubtaoâ€â€what they would call a cleric in Amn. |
| 83393 I never knew mine, either. Imoen and I were raised by a man named Gorion. |
| 83394 Get out. Your mother was a holy woman? What happened to you? |
| 83395 You didn't know her? Why not? |
| 83396 Eh? Who are you? I'm busy. Go away. |
| 83397 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 83398 Who are you? |
| 83399 Very well. |
| 83400 I am glad for you. Now go away. You're distracting me. |
| 83401 As you wish. |
| 83402 Gladly, but before I do, could you point me in the direction of the Claw of the Black Leopard? |
| 83403 I could distract you much, much worse, spirit. |
| 83404 Hah! |
| 83405 Such arrogance... It is impressive, in a way. |
| 83406 Who am I? |
| 83407 I am Ki Chin Sang! |
| 83408 Pleased to meet you, Ki Chin Sang. I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 83409 You say that as though it means something. |
| 83410 Your time in this world is finished, Ki Chin Sang. |
| 83411 What are you doing here? Explain yourself. |
| 83412 I am here for the Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 83413 Gorion took good care of us. We lacked for nothing. Other than parents, that is. |
| 83414 Enough to follow the story it tells. |
| 83415 What does it say? |
| 83416 It's a long story, far too long to tell right now, but it ends with me in Athkatla with the Black Leopard's Claw. |
| 83417 I'll let my actions speak for me. |
| 83418 Is that so? All right. Let's see what you have to say for yourself, then. |
| 83419 Is that so? Well, good luck getting itâ€â€the gods know you'll need it. |
| 83420 What do you mean? |
| 83421 I need no luck. |
| 83422 Thanks. |
| 83423 Spoken like someone who doesn't know how unlucky <PRO_HESHE> is about to become. |
| 83424 You're getting distracted by a story? I don't think so. What's really going on here, Hexxat? |
| 83425 That's a tale I look forward to hearingâ€â€once we're back in Amn. |
| 83426 It tells the tale of a woman named Huang Chih-Weiâ€â€a healer of some repute in Nan Kung Chi's time. A strong woman, it appears. She would not kneel before the Black Leopard. |
| 83427 What happened? |
| 83428 I think I know how this will end. |
| 83429 This is no time for telling stories. Save it till we're back among the living. |
| 83430 Did I ever tell you about my mother, <CHARNAME>? |
| 83431 Only one who holds the key to the master's crypt can reach the Claw. And you don't have the key. |
| 83432 How do you know that? |
| 83433 Where is it? |
| 83434 You are clearly very wise. So do the wise thing: Give me the key. |
| 83435 You'd like to know that, wouldn't you? |
| 83436 No. You seemed satisfied to leave the past in the past. |
| 83437 I can't say I've had that pleasure. |
| 83438 No. For which I'm eternally grateful. Now come, we've a crypt to loot. |
| 83439 Very much so. |
| 83440 Uh, yes. That's why I asked. |
| 83441 I can make you tell meâ€â€or at least regret not telling me. |
| 83442 Hah! You think I fear you? Here, let me show you how terrified I am. |
| 83443 And so I am. But sometimes, the past is not satisfied to be left behind. |
| 83444 He must have the key himself. |
| 83445 The blood-drinker is correct. |
| 83446 The same thing that happens to all who threaten those in power. |
| 83447 Predictable, but regrettable. |
| 83448 Ouch. |
| 83449 You have the key? Excellent. Can I have it? |
| 83450 Convenient. Give it to me, and I'll be on my way. |
| 83451 Because I hold the key. |
| 83452 Not all. Change has to begin somewhere. |
| 83453 Indeed. |
| 83454 I... You're right. The past is past. |
| 83455 Sometimes I ask myself the same question. |
| 83456 I miss much of my old life. Or I would if I let myself think of it. The past is past. |
| 83457 May I have it? |
| 83458 No, not mine, though sometimes I wonder how close I came... |
| 83459 Is there anything I could say or do that would get you to fork it over? |
| 83460 That makes things easy. Hand it over. |
| 83461 There isâ€â€there WAS nothing they would not do for me. |
| 83462 Are you JOKING? |
| 83463 What I amâ€â€what I becameâ€â€cannot be laid at her feet. Or my aunts', either, though they were the ones who raised me. Good women, all. |
| 83464 But not your mother. |
| 83465 You're not so bad yourself, Hexxat. |
| 83466 You miss them? |
| 83467 No. She had a higher calling, to serve Ubtao. It... did not go over well with the clan elders. There was blood spilled. |
| 83468 She left to protect you. That cannot have been easy for her. |
| 83469 Not yours, I hope? |
| 83470 How much blood? |
| 83471 NO, YOU CANNOT HAVE THE KEY! |
| 83472 I was raised by her sisters. She had a higher callingâ€â€one that put her at odds with the clan's leaders. |
| 83473 Where do you find the arrogance to even presume to ask such a question? |
| 83474 She left you to protect you. That cannot have been easy for her. |
| 83475 Your aunts protected you. |
| 83476 I can't imagine that ended well. |
| 83477 Easy or not, she did what she felt she had to do. |
| 83478 An admirable quality. |
| 83479 Perhaps you felt otherwise? |
| 83480 Like mother, like daughter. |
| 83481 Is that supposed to be a compliment, <CHARNAME>? |
| 83482 That's certainly how it was intended. |
| 83483 Take it as you will. |
| 83484 You think otherwise? |
| 83485 I'm not like my mother. The sacrifices I make are for my own benefit. |
| 83486 You judge yourself too harshly. |
| 83487 That doesn't make them easy. |
| 83488 Perhaps. The pious have been known to take a certain satisfaction in their own martyrdom. |
| 83489 You think so? Try telling that to the men who accompanied me into Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 83490 Enough of this. We've work to do. |
| 83491 Forgive me, Master Sang. My excitement got the better of me. |
| 83492 I've a chest of drawers back in Athkatla that's full of arrogance. |
| 83493 I'll show you where my arrogance comes from, dead man. |
| 83494 I do not know how it ended. Perhaps someday, when I've completed my assignments for L, I'll return to Mezro and see what became of my family. |
| 83495 I was young, then. I couldn't appreciate the sacrifice she made, or the reasons she might have had for making it. I didn't yet understand the way of the world. |
| 83496 No. But sometimes, they have perhaps not been as hard as they should have been. |
| 83497 I'll show you where arrogance takes you, little <PRO_RACE>! |
| 83498 Finally, you treat me with some respect. Not that it will get you the key any more quickly. |
| 83499 Let me prove myself worthy, master. |
| 83500 Not even a little more quickly? |
| 83501 If that's so, I see no reason to treat you with respect any longer. |
| 83502 Then return from whence you came. I've no use for you here. |
| 83503 Please, master. I must have the key. |
| 83504 Give me the damn key, wraith! |
| 83505 You think you're worthy of the key? It is to laugh! |
| 83506 Let me prove my worth to you. Please. |
| 83507 Let me prove my worth to you. Please. |
| 83508 Good, laughter is good. Let me entertain you furtherâ€â€tell me what I must do to acquire the key. |
| 83509 You'll not be laughing when I'm done with you. |
| 83510 This key is used to open the final chamber of Nan Kung Chi's tomb. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 83511 A ghost named Ki Chin Sang claims I'll never be able to penetrate the resting place of Nan Kung Chi without a keyâ€â€a key he says he'll produce if I defeat the guardians in the hall leading to his place of study. |
| 83512 Very well. |
| 83513 Hexxat's request A locked door lies 'twixt me and the Claw of the Black Leopard. A ghost called Ki Chin Sang claims he will supply the key if I survive a challenge. To initiate the challenge, I must open one of the sarcophagi in the hall outside. |
| 83514 Outside this room are six sarcophagi. Inside each is one of the master's most trusted lieutenants. Defeat them all, and you will have proven yourself worthy. I will give you the key. |
| 83515 I will do this to prove myself to you. |
| 83516 Six? Is that all? I'll see you in a couple minutes. |
| 83517 I think I'll just take the key from you now, old man. |
| 83518 There's no reason to play this game, <CHARNAME>. He doesn't need to offer us the key, not when we can simply take it. |
| 83519 Go away now. If you survive, come back; I'll give you the key then. Go. Get out! |
| 83520 Big words. We'll see how big you talk when you've finished the test. Assuming it doesn't finish you first. |
| 83521 Outside this room are six sarcophagi. Inside each is one of the master's most trusted lieutenants. Defeat them all, and you will have proven yourself worthy. I will give you the key. |
| 83522 <CHARNAME>, a word. We don't necessarily need to do as this Ki Chin Sang says. All we need is the key. Think on that for a while. |
| 83523 Back so soon, <PRO_RACE>? I cannot believe you've defeated all six of the master's guardians. |
| 83524 I will do this to prove myself to you. |
| 83525 I will do this to prove myself to you. |
| 83526 Six? Is that all? I'll see you in a couple minutes. |
| 83527 Just catching my breath, master. |
| 83528 Tell me where I can find the key, old man. |
| 83529 But I have. All six, gone. It was easy. |
| 83530 Jiang Dai. Ming-hua Dai. Yi Niu... You defeated them. You defeated them all. |
| 83531 Not yet. But I will. |
| 83532 I did. Am I worthy to take the master's key now? |
| 83533 I'll deal with them in short order. But first, I'm going to deal with you. |
| 83534 Believe this then: I will cut you down, you wretched sack of dust. |
| 83535 Surprised? |
| 83536 I'm just getting started, old man. |
| 83537 It is yours! Take it, take it, gentle master! |
| 83538 Well, catch it somewhere else. Your breathing distracts me from the ancients' wisdom. |
| 83539 Here, the keyâ€â€it is yours now, gentle master. Take it, please; do me the honor of taking the key. |
| 83540 You think to fool the great Ki Chin Sang? |
| 83541 Please, spare me! Here is the key; take it, it's yours now. But leave your gentle servant Ki Chin Sang in peace. |
| 83542 I had hoped to. |
| 83543 Thank you for the key, Ki Chin Sang. I'll take good care of it for you. |
| 83544 No, not really. |
| 83545 No. I think to destroy him. |
| 83546 All right. But you owe me, Ki Chin Sang. |
| 83547 Hah! A foolish hope, that. Now go away. I've important matters to attend to. |
| 83548 You are learning, little <PRO_RACE>. In a few hundred lifetimes, you might possibly have the slightest potential of beginning to achieve a modicum of wisdom. |
| 83549 Why do you call upon us, Nan Kung Chi? |
| 83550 Thanks? |
| 83551 I rise and serve, master. |
| 83552 You know, I'd tell you to drop dead, but you don't seem to have the knack for it. |
| 83553 I return. |
| 83554 That does it. Give me the key or I'll stuff your leg down your throat. |
| 83555 Endless death will not sway our conviction. |
| 83556 Oh, you're scaring me! I'm sooooo frightened of you. Idiot! |
| 83557 Tell me where to strike, master! |
| 83558 I sssssstand againnnn! |
| 83559 Are you still here? Get out, get out! |
| 83560 I'll leave you in peace, all right. |
| 83561 No! NO! |
| 83562 Anything! Anything that I have, it is yours, master. Thank you, thank you! |
| 83563 I am certain you will, master. I can think of no safer place for it to be than upon your person. |
| 83564 Who dares defile the resting place of Nan Kung Chi? |
| 83565 I am <CHARNAME>, O wise and noble one. I come seeking the Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 83566 Mummies. It HAD to be mummies. |
| 83567 If you think I'm defiling it now, you're really going to hate what comes next. |
| 83568 Yes, I'm sure all we need to do is ask for it nicely and he'll hand it right over... |
| 83569 You sought the Black Leopard's Claw, <PRO_RACE>, but have found only death. |
| 83570 What happened to Keno and my spirit guard? Answer me! |
| 83571 I'm sorry to have to tell you they've been destroyed. |
| 83572 That went well. |
| 83573 They had a little mind flayer problem. We helped them out, and they said we could have the Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 83574 I'll do better than that, you moldering heap of rags. I'll show you. |
| 83575 Actually, he said he wouldn't stop us from exploring the rest of the crypt. Not mentioning the mummies was an accidental oversight, I'm sure. |
| 83576 We disturb dead men in their place of rest. It doesn't sit well with me. |
| 83577 There is but one reward for those who seek the Black Leopard's Claw. |
| 83578 Is it gold? I hope it's gold. |
| 83579 "Well"? What ring of Hell were you born in that that qualifies as going well? |
| 83580 It could have gone worse. |
| 83581 We have the Claw. I'm alive and free. I'm inclined to think of this as a win. Let's get out of here. |
| 83582 If it's death, I'd like to revoke my previous statement regarding my seeking of the Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 83583 Soon. Let's make sure we've availed ourselves of everything this tomb has to offer first. |
| 83584 Your next death will be your last, Nan Kung Chi. |
| 83585 Free to do whatever L wills. |
| 83586 I'll think of it as a win when we're away from here and counting our gold. |
| 83587 Die! |
| 83588 Who would dare? Who is responsible for this insult? |
| 83589 You have a problem, <CHARNAME>? |
| 83590 Creatures of the Underdark, O Nan Kung Chi. They died with honor. |
| 83591 Now that you mention it, yes, I do. This L's sent you into two lairs of the undead. He cares nothing whether you live or die. |
| 83592 It was a guy named Alorgoth. We killed him. You should reward us with something. I've heard good things about this "Black Leopard's Claw". How about you give us that? |
| 83593 I've more problems than I can count, Hexxat. But I muddle on. |
| 83594 I dislike facing dire peril for the benefit of anonymous figures giving orders from the shadows. |
| 83595 Muddle on in silence a moment. I need to concentrate to open the portal back to Amn. |
| 83596 The same <PRO_MANWOMAN> responsible for ending your wretched half-life. |
| 83597 I didn't make you come here. Nobody put a knife to your throat. |
| 83598 You would steal my Claw? |
| 83599 You would destroy me, little thing? |
| 83600 I wouldn't let a friend face danger alone. |
| 83601 And what will you die with, <PRO_RACE>? Let us see, shall we? |
| 83602 It seems I abandoned common sense when I threw my lot in with yours. |
| 83603 You still owe me for rescuing you from Dragomir's Tomb. I need to keep an eye on my investment. |
| 83604 Friends, <CHARNAME>? Is that what we are? |
| 83605 I'd hate to think I fought vampires and mummies on account of an enemy. |
| 83606 Whatever you want us to be, that's what we shall be. |
| 83607 What would you rather be? An asset? An enemy? |
| 83608 For now, I'll settle for us being away from here. Be silent a moment; I need to concentrate to open the portal. |
| 83609 Surely you can come up with better than that. |
| 83610 I didn't want to be overly familiar. |
| 83611 Would you want me to? |
| 83612 It's best our relationship remain professional. |
| 83613 I couldn't agree more. Now be quiet. I need to concentrate to return us to Amn. |
| 83614 A shame your spirit of adventure chooses this moment to abandon you. Ah well. Be quiet a moment while I transport us back to Amn. |
| 83615 Only one way to find out. Now still your tongue a momentâ€â€I need to concentrate to open the portal back to Amn. |
| 83616 Friends, is it, then? Now be silent. Tombwalking requires some concentration. |
| 83617 Be silent now. I need to concentrate to open the portal back to Amn. |
| 83618 I owe you no explanation, <CHARNAME>. |
| 83619 He is an employer, not my mother. |
| 83620 He's responsible for your current state. Has he apologized? |
| 83621 You've got a mother? I sort of assumed you spontaneously generated out of dust and free-floating self-satisfaction. |
| 83622 And what he offers you justifies the risks you're forced to take doing his bidding? |
| 83623 Hello, friends. Hexxat, good evening. May I say you look fantastic? Good enough to eat, if only my teeth weren't so sensitive to cold... |
| 83624 Cabrina. |
| 83625 Yes. Especially now. |
| 83626 Good evening, milady. |
| 83627 Oh good. L's mouthpiece has found us again. |
| 83628 Why especially now? |
| 83629 What does L want this time? |
| 83630 We're preoccupied at the moment. Whatever L wants will have to wait. Good evening. |
| 83631 If you say so. I still think he asks far too much. |
| 83632 Really, <CHARNAME>? Is that any way to greet an old friend? |
| 83633 It's as pleasant a welcome as you're going to get from me. |
| 83634 Explain this to me, Hexxat. |
| 83635 I don't want to talk about this. Be silent while I open the portal back to Amn. |
| 83636 Very well. |
| 83637 We don't always get what we want. What does L have that's valuable enough to justify repeatedly risking your life in his service? |
| 83638 No. Is one present? |
| 83639 As you wish. But we'll talk of this again, believe me. |
| 83640 It's a more pleasant welcome than you deserve, Cabrina. What does L want now? |
| 83641 I assume you're here with a message from L? |
| 83642 Life? Are you blind, <CHARNAME>? You call this shadow existence I have a life? |
| 83643 Come, come. Are you telling me you don't have time for a little small talk, some innuendo, vaguely implied threats, perhaps a double-entendre or two? |
| 83644 I always got the impression that L was all business. |
| 83645 Something tells me we're getting those things whether we've time or not. |
| 83646 I understand now. You believe L will restore your humanity. |
| 83647 Yes. What else would I call it? |
| 83648 No, Hexxat. I call it a gift. |
| 83649 Yes. He's the best hope I've got to walk freely in the sun again. Now if we're quite done, still your wagging tongue while I return us to Amn. |
| 83650 I've got the time, but I'm rapidly running out of patience. |
| 83651 You understand nothing, <CHARNAME>. Now be quiet a moment that I might return us to Amn. |
| 83652 A gift? You're not blind, you're mad! You've no idea of the torments I endure, the horror that is my existence now. |
| 83653 Be silent now. I don't wish to hear your voice, and need to concentrate to tombwalk us back to Amn. |
| 83654 It was a figure of speech. |
| 83655 One that has me intrigued. This mother of yoursâ€â€tell me about her. |
| 83656 So you don't have a mother? |
| 83657 Well, I never! Actually, that's not true. I did once, with a lovely elf maid under a starry sky. It was an eye-opening experience. What do you say, Hexxat? Would you like your eyes opened? |
| 83658 If you insist. Forget I said anything. Let us return to Amn. |
| 83659 Don't be stupid. Of course I had a mother. |
| 83660 I didn't get a chance to know her well. I was raised by my aunts. |
| 83661 I'm sorry to hear that. |
| 83662 She died? |
| 83663 Is there a point to this tale? |
| 83664 No. To pursue her calling as Mazewalker of Ubtao, she was forced to give me up. |
| 83665 Oh, Hexxat. I'm so sorry. |
| 83666 I doubt L would want his employees fraternizing. |
| 83667 Your eyes are going to get blackened if you don't get to the point. |
| 83668 You're very perceptive. |
| 83669 Enough. L obviously has a job for me. Let's hear it. |
| 83670 Oh, there was a point, all right... |
| 83671 He is. What can I say? I'm a naughty girl. Care to find out how naughty? |
| 83672 It'll take more than words to win me over, Cabrina. Or Hexxat, for that matter. |
| 83673 You're a kitten in a den of lions, Cabrina. You don't know what naughty is, which is just as well because honestly? You couldn't handle it. |
| 83674 Tell us what L wants. Leave. Die. Pick one. |
| 83675 They've got you there, Cabrina. Now, you didn't come here to chatâ€â€or at least not just to chat. What does L want from me? |
| 83676 You'd like to keep Hexxat for yourself, <CHARNAME>? I can't say I blame you. |
| 83677 No one keeps me, Cabrina. Now, L obviously sent you to give me a new assignment. Let's hear it. |
| 83678 I think they mean it, Cabrina. Best get to the point. |
| 83679 Very well then, business before pleasure. Hexxat, L was very pleased to hear you'd successfully collected the Claw of the Black Leopardâ€â€and without taking decades this time. Good show. |
| 83680 She may have been a worthy servant of Ubtao, but her skills as a mother leave something to be desired. |
| 83681 "Forced"? |
| 83682 You are too quick to judge, <CHARNAME>. My mother did what she thought was best for me. Her views were... not highly regarded by the more conservative members of our clan. Sending me to stay with my aunts was the only way to ensure I wasn't put in danger. |
| 83683 A noble act by a noble woman. |
| 83684 She could have forsaken Ubtao and focused on taking care of you. |
| 83685 Twist and turn it whatever way you want, Hexxat. You can't turn her selfish act into a noble one. |
| 83686 You know nothing of my mother, and less still of me. Now, unless you'd rather spend the rest of your life in this wretched pit, be silent. I need to concentrate to open the portal back to Amn. |
| 83687 And cutting off a hand would have saved her from arthritis. She made the only choice she could. My aunts raised me as their own. What my mother could not give, they were happy to provide. |
| 83688 I'm happy he's happy. What does he want now? |
| 83689 You were fortunate. |
| 83690 The Shroud of the Unproved. It lies in a tomb buried in the sands of the Zakharan deserts. |
| 83691 They sound like amazing women. |
| 83692 What sort of guardians does the Shroud have? |
| 83693 Nothing can replace a mother's love. |
| 83694 How did it get there? |
| 83695 I got by. Now be silent. I need to concentrate to return us to Amn. |
| 83696 Formidable ones, I imagine. No reason to send Hexxat otherwise. You appreciate a challenge, don't you, darling? |
| 83697 You have no idea. |
| 83698 Don't be. My aunts raised me as though I was their own. What my mother was unwilling to give, they were happy to provide. |
| 83699 You were fortunate. |
| 83700 They must have been amazing women. |
| 83701 A poor substitute for a mother's love. |
| 83702 My luck ran out in Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 83703 A lot of people's did. |
| 83704 You met me in Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 83705 How? It was there that you received the gift of undeath. |
| 83706 Sacrifices have to be made sometimes. |
| 83707 A gift? You call this shadow existence a gift? You're mad, <CHARNAME>! You have no idea of the torments I endure, the horror that is my existence now. |
| 83708 Precisely. Now shut up a moment. I need to concentrate to get us out of here. |
| 83709 An investment? Is that what I am to you? |
| 83710 Why? Would you be something more? |
| 83711 Whatever you would be to me, that's what you shall be. |
| 83712 What would you rather be? An asset? An enemy? |
| 83713 For now, I'll settle for being your way back to Amn. Be silent a momentâ€â€using Dragomir's Casque requires concentration. |
| 83714 Hexxat's more than capable of dealing with whatever obstacles block her path. |
| 83715 Call her darling one more time and you'll face a challenge of your own, Cabrina. |
| 83716 Now there's something worth exploring... once we've returned to Amn. Be silent nowâ€â€using Dragomir's Casque requires concentration. |
| 83717 If that's all you can tell us about the assignment, we'll be going now. |
| 83718 You couldn't afford to make me your tool, and you wouldn't want me as an enemy. Now be silentâ€â€opening the portal back to Amn requires concentration. |
| 83719 She's also capable of speaking for herself. What is the Shroud of the Unproved? What does it look like? |
| 83720 Let it go, <CHARNAME>. She's harmless. |
| 83721 Leave common sense to common people. We're better than that. |
| 83722 You're trying to hurt my feelings, Hexxat. Keep it up. |
| 83723 Your beauty is matched only by your ego. |
| 83724 True. I yearn to be a common <PRO_MANWOMAN>, but am ever above them. We bear a terrible burden, you and I. |
| 83725 You're very perceptive. |
| 83726 My skills exceed both. |
| 83727 Which skills are these, then? |
| 83728 Your skill at getting me into life or death battles with the undead is truly unparalleled. |
| 83729 That's why I permit you to stay with me. |
| 83730 Some you've already seen. You aren't ready to experience the others... yet. Now be silentâ€â€I need to concentrate to get us back to Amn. |
| 83731 You've proven pretty skilled at surviving such battles. We make a good team. Now, I can picture few occasions in which I'd say this and mean it, but still your tongue a moment. Getting back to Amn will require some concentration. |
| 83732 I pride myself on it. Now be silent while I use Dragomir's Casque to return us to Amn. |
| 83733 It's fortunate we've each found someone who understands our plight. Now let your tongue be still for the momentâ€â€I need to concentrate to reopen the portal to Amn. |
| 83734 Yet somehow we survive and even thrive. We really are impressive, aren't we? Now be silent a momentâ€â€I need to concentrate to use Dragomir's Casque. |
| 83735 Your beneficence is without bounds, <CHARNAME>. I prithee be silent a moment, that I might concentrate and return us to Amn. |
| 83736 L doesn't apologize. He gives orders and expects them to be carried out. |
| 83737 I suppose if you're satisfied with that, I'm in no position to judge. |
| 83738 And you're okay with that? |
| 83739 With no regard for the safety of those he's giving the orders to. He is an unworthy master. |
| 83740 I'm more effective without someone peering over my shoulder. So stop peering over my shoulder and let me get us out of here. |
| 83741 No man is my master. He is an employer, nothing more. |
| 83742 Judging from the way Cabrina spoke to you, I'm not sure that's a distinction L has bothered to make. |
| 83743 And a generous employer he must be, too, for you to so happily risk your life on his behalf. |
| 83744 I wonder if he would say the same. |
| 83745 Master, employer, he can believe whatever he wants provided he abides by the terms of our deal. |
| 83746 What are the terms of your deal? |
| 83747 Getting paid is a powerful motivator, I can't deny that. |
| 83748 If you're satisfied to be a slave, I'll not stand in your way. |
| 83749 L and I have a mutually satisfactory agreement. I'll not let your insinuations poison a good working relationship. |
| 83750 No business of yours, that's what they are. |
| 83751 You'd rather kill the living in their place of rest? |
| 83752 This is a serious matter, Hexxat. |
| 83753 Now that you mention it, yes. The living don't have an established precedent for not staying dead when you kill them. |
| 83754 I'd rather kill you, bloodsucker. |
| 83755 Good point. Now be silentâ€â€I need to concentrate if I'm to tombwalk us back to Amn. |
| 83756 You're welcome to try, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 83757 Survival is the most serious matter, <CHARNAME>. I'll destroy a thousand mummies, ransack ten thousand tombs if it'll get me another day. |
| 83758 I believe you. And that frightens me. |
| 83759 Is there any wiggle room there? Would you settle for eight hundred mummies, maybe six thousand tombs for another day? |
| 83760 As would I. |
| 83761 You fear me? I thought you were made of sterner stuff than that. |
| 83762 You know, <CHARNAME>, for a jester, you make a great adventurer. You should stick to what you're good at. |
| 83763 I'm glad we understand each other. |
| 83764 Are you ready to go now, <CHARNAME>? |
| 83765 L wants the Shroud of the Unproved from beneath the Zakharan deserts. Is that all? |
| 83766 That's all L wants. Let's go somewhere private and cozy where we can talk about what I want. |
| 83767 No one cares what you want. |
| 83768 Hah! Good luck finding someplace private with that piercing squeal you call a voice. |
| 83769 A coffin's nice and cozy. |
| 83770 Just give me a few more minutes. |
| 83771 I'll let you know when I'm ready. |
| 83772 We have what we came for. Let us go now. |
| 83773 Not just yet. |
| 83774 You have what you came for. I'm still looking. |
| 83775 All right. |
| 83776 I don't know about you, but I've better things to do with my time than root around crypts. |
| 83777 Yeah, right. Where did we meet again? |
| 83778 I do not. |
| 83779 All right, I've seen enough. Let's go. |
| 83780 Ready? No? Well, take your time. It's not like we have better things to do with our lives. |
| 83781 All right, all right. Let's go. |
| 83782 I'm glad we agree. |
| 83783 There's something more here. I'm sure of it. |
| 83784 I've had enough of this place, <CHARNAME>. Let us go. NOW. |
| 83785 Don't tell me you have a problem digging around tombs... |
| 83786 Very well. If you insist. |
| 83787 We'll go when I'm ready. |
| 83788 Some other time, Cabrina. After I've retrieved the Shroud. |
| 83789 I'll hold you to that, my dear. |
| 83790 With Hexxat in it to keep me company? I imagine it would be. |
| 83791 Ready to go, <CHARNAME>? |
| 83792 Let's do it. |
| 83793 I was born ready. Which was unfortunate, because I had to wait several years before we got here. |
| 83794 No. I have other things to attend to before we make this journey. |
| 83795 Very well. L's business can wait a little while. A VERY little while. Speak to me in the graveyard when you are ready. |
| 83796 When will we return to the Graveyard District, <CHARNAME>? L is going to start wondering what I'm up to, and the last thing I want to do is attract attention. |
| 83797 Oh, barf. Get a stable, you two. |
| 83798 Enough. <CHARNAME>, cool down. I'm perfectly capable of defending whatever honor I've got left. Cabrina, go tell L he'll soon have the Shroud. |
| 83799 We'll go now, if you'd like. |
| 83800 In the tomb or under the sands? |
| 83801 Under the sands. |
| 83802 If that's the case, you should rid yourself of that tattered rag of a cloakâ€â€it stinks of the crypt. Also, you'll want to start wearing a mask. You're a striking woman, Hexxat. There's no getting away from it. |
| 83803 In the tomb. |
| 83804 Either. |
| 83805 I'll go when I'm ready. Stop pestering me. |
| 83806 Both. |
| 83807 Stop trying to be cute and answer the question. |
| 83808 That's not the sort of attention I was referring to. Head to the graveyard and speak to me when you are ready. |
| 83809 Well, it's a desert and the tomb is quite old. In Zakhara, the sands devour everything eventually. |
| 83810 I'll stop when we do what we've agreed to do. Head to the graveyard and speak to me when you are ready. |
| 83811 And as for the Shroud's history? |
| 83812 Thank you, Cabrina. You've been the exact opposite of helpful. |
| 83813 Fair enough. |
| 83814 As to how the Shroud came to be in the tomb, well... |
| 83815 It's a long story. Surely we can find something better to discuss than the provenance of a moldy old rag? |
| 83816 We've got time. |
| 83817 This is a business meeting. The Shroud is our business. We'll talk about it, or nothing. |
| 83818 I'd rather spend as little time with you as possible. |
| 83819 Very well. If you absolutely must know the story, then here it is. |
| 83820 I was afraid you'd say that. Very well, if you absolutely must know the story, here it is. |
| 83821 Well, it's a desert and the tomb is quite old. In Zakhara, the sands devour everything eventually. As to how the Shroud came to be in the tomb, well... |
| 83822 I expect it looks like a shroud. Unfortunately, L didn't see fit to make an illustration to accompany your orders. |
| 83823 As for what it isâ€â€it's a long story. |
| 83824 We've got time. |
| 83825 Then talk quickly. |
| 83826 Then save it for another time. |
| 83827 I was afraid you'd say that. Surely there are more entertaining ways to spend time together than discussing the provenance of a moldy old rag? |
| 83828 I wish to be informed, not entertained. |
| 83829 This is a business meeting. The Shroud is our business. We'll talk about it, or nothing. |
| 83830 I'd rather spend as little time with you as possible. |
| 83831 You are the wettest of blankets. How Hexxat can stand to be around you for more than a minute at a time, I'll never understand. |
| 83832 That just scratches the surface of what you don't understand about me, Cabrina. Tell us about the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 83833 Ages ago, in the desert of Zakhara, four hakima belonging to the caliph of Halwa predicted the birth of a prophet who would lead their people into an age of greatness. |
| 83834 Hakima? |
| 83835 Is this going to take much longer? |
| 83836 I've heard enough. |
| 83837 Wise women. |
| 83838 Beautiful and intelligent. You are the ideal package, Hexxat. Perhaps someday I'll get to unwrap you. |
| 83839 You cling to that hope, Cabrina. Continue with the story. |
| 83840 I said it was a long story, <CHARNAME>. It'll go faster without you interrupting. |
| 83841 Sorry. Proceed. |
| 83842 You said it was long. You never mentioned it was also boring. |
| 83843 It'll go fastest of all if I leave now. |
| 83844 You're trying to confuse me. It won't work. |
| 83845 Would you have me tell the story or not? |
| 83846 Go on, then. |
| 83847 Tell it if you wish, but not to me. |
| 83848 I'll thank you not to interrupt again. Where was I? |
| 83849 Four wise women prophesied the birth of a prophet. |
| 83850 Right, right. |
| 83851 The hakima identified this auspicious child's mother-to-be as one Badiat, a woman who didn't even know she was pregnant by her husband, Muharr. He had recently departed to fight bandits at his caliph's behest. When he didn't return, Badiat accepted the hakima's invitation to live under their caliph's protection. |
| 83852 I can't fault her for that. She had to ensure her child's safety. |
| 83853 I don't like this Badiat. She's passive where she should be active, weak when strength is called for. |
| 83854 Claiming she did it for her child, no doubt. |
| 83855 Probably. If so, she made a terrible mistake. |
| 83856 Don't judge her so harshly. We know only the barest outline of her situation. Go on, Cabrina. |
| 83857 But did she? |
| 83858 Let me finish the story and you'll find out. |
| 83859 Badiat impressed the caliph with her talent for weaving beautiful abas and caftans. He placed Badiat in his harem and supplied her with the finest silk. The caliph's first wife grew jealous of Badiat. |
| 83860 Finding an ally in the fourth hakima, she conspired to have Badiat poisoned. Their scheme succeeded. Mother and child were both slain, leaving the unborn as "a prophet unproved." |
| 83861 A grim tale, though I fear not as grim as the task before us. |
| 83862 Which just goes to show you should never trust your husband's other wife. |
| 83863 So L wants us to steal a baby's shroud. An unborn baby's, no less. |
| 83864 You should not make light of such a tragedy, <CHARNAME>. |
| 83865 When did you start to feel sympathy for your targets, Hexxat? I somehow missed that. |
| 83866 Sometimes you just have to laugh. |
| 83867 Badiat paid the price for weakness and imprudence. There are greater tragedies than that. |
| 83868 Sometimes, yes. But not this time. |
| 83869 She was a mother, trying to protect her unborn child. |
| 83870 As any mother would. |
| 83871 Badiat is dead and gone, and we have work to do. |
| 83872 And she did a poor job of it. |
| 83873 You may be undead, Hexxat, but your blood runs red hot compared to theirs. |
| 83874 No. Not any mother. |
| 83875 Aha. The plot thickens. |
| 83876 ...You are right, of course. |
| 83877 Thank you for your message, Cabrina. You may tell L it's been received and I shall deliver the Shroud soon. |
| 83878 Farewell, Hexxat, and I mean that. I'd hate to lose you. |
| 83879 You can't lose something you never had. Good night. |
| 83880 Perhaps it's only this particular target she has feelings for. |
| 83881 You don't know what you're talking about, Cabrina. Be silent for once in your misbegotten life. |
| 83882 So there's nothing in Badiat's tale that gives you pause? |
| 83883 Hexxat... Do you want to have children? |
| 83884 L's message has been received, Cabrina. You may go. |
| 83885 And if I choose to stay? |
| 83886 Whatever welcome you had here is long worn out. |
| 83887 Then I'll be forced to do something unpleasant. |
| 83888 Then we shall leave. |
| 83889 They are right, Cabrina. It's time for you to leave. |
| 83890 Fare you well, Hexxat. And I mean that. |
| 83891 Children are for the living. Have you forgotten what I am, <CHARNAME>? |
| 83892 I know full well what you are. But what do you desire? |
| 83893 You were a woman before you were a vampire. |
| 83894 I could never forget that. Each time I set eyes upon you, I am reminded of what a magnificent creature walks beside me. |
| 83895 What I desire is irrelevant. All that matters is the task at hand. |
| 83896 What I was is of no consequence. |
| 83897 That's not true. |
| 83898 You try and bury your humanity because you think it weakens you. |
| 83899 You're right. You have surpassed humanity and achieved an exalted state. Leave the past in the pastâ€â€look only to the glorious future in front of you. |
| 83900 It is. |
| 83901 I bury my humanity because that's what you do with dead things. |
| 83902 Would that I could see myself through your eyes. |
| 83903 No doubt your slippery tongue serves you well with other women, <CHARNAME>. But superficial charm and hollow compliments will get you nowhere with me. |
| 83904 If L requires the Shroud, then he shall have it. |
| 83905 You have no reservations about this mission? |
| 83906 So say we all. Primarily because those who don't say it will end up in a long and no doubt pointless argument. |
| 83907 All L requires is a series of sharp blows to the head. Perhaps someday I'll be in a position to give him them. |
| 83908 No more than any other. |
| 83909 A pause... No. Nothing. |
| 83910 Someday, perhaps. But no day soon, I promise you that. |
| 83911 I assume you have Dragomir's Casque? Let me see it. |
| 83912 What are you doing? |
| 83913 Ensuring it does what L needs it to do, and nothing more. |
| 83914 One other thing... |
| 83915 That hardly seems fair. |
| 83916 Closing off an avenue of retreat makes no sense. Why not give Hexxat the option to tombwalk if she's faced with unbeatable odds? She can retreat, recover, regroupâ€â€go back with whatever's needed to deal with the problem. |
| 83917 We'll have no reason to leave until the mission is accomplished. |
| 83918 Fair? Well, aren't you the cutest thing...? |
| 83919 I'd tell you to take care, Hexxat, but I know you always do. |
| 83920 That would make sense, wouldn't it? I'll discuss it with L and let you know. |
| 83921 You know she's not going to discuss anything with L, right? |
| 83922 <CHARNAME>, when do you expect to return to the Graveyard District? We have business in Shou Lung. |
| 83923 And I've neglected it too long. Let's take care of it now. |
| 83924 And we'll get to it, I assure you. Have patience. |
| 83925 You might. I do not. |
| 83926 I thought we agreed to work together. |
| 83927 You are right, of course. Let's get this over with. |
| 83928 Patience, Hexxat. We'll get to Durkon eventually. |
| 83929 If you've a problem with the way I do things, you're free to leave. |
| 83930 I've infinite patience. It's L's patience I'm worried about. |
| 83931 I'll stayâ€â€for now. But I will be going to Shou Lung. And soon. |
| 83932 Dragomir's Casque will allow us to tombwalk to Shou Lung. |
| 83933 I see you're not anxious to use the Casque. |
| 83934 By which you mean, it will walk us into a tomb. Not exactly a part of Shou Lung I'm anxious to experience. |
| 83935 And trap us there until we get the Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 83936 We've a job to do. |
| 83937 Let's get it done, then. |
| 83938 Very well. Let's go check out the dead folk's home. |
| 83939 You've a job to do. I'll help you do it... when I'm ready. |
| 83940 It didn't work out well for me last time. |
| 83941 All right. Let's go. |
| 83942 We'll do this, Hexxat. But not right now. |
| 83943 I'm in no rush to explore another tomb. |
| 83944 Your next death will be your last, Nan Kung Chi. |
| 83945 Who has come to the Tomb of the Unproved? |
| 83946 It makes no difference. Their fate is written. |
| 83947 I am <CHARNAME>. I come here seeking the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 83948 Writing can be rewritten. Nothing is certain. |
| 83949 I am the author of my own destiny, witch. |
| 83950 Your story ends here! |
| 83951 They are correct. The Unproved Prophet's fate is evidence enough of that. |
| 83952 I am <CHARNAME>. Who are you? Why do you linger here in this place of death? |
| 83953 Speaking of the Unproved Prophet, do you know where I could find his bones? I need to get his shroud. |
| 83954 Tell me where the Unproved Prophet is and I'll leave you to your duties. |
| 83955 Damn it, <CHARNAME>. You've all the subtlety of a drunken troll. |
| 83956 Yes, but I smell better. |
| 83957 Subtlety is overrated. |
| 83958 Subtlety is for those in a position of weakness. |
| 83959 All right, you've got me there. |
| 83960 I'll grind your bones to dust! |
| 83961 Why have you come to this place of the dead? |
| 83962 I am here to collect the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 83963 For the noblest of reasons: love. |
| 83964 To prove myself in battle against all who block my path. By the way, you're blocking my path. |
| 83965 What?! |
| 83966 I love adventure. |
| 83967 I love treasure. |
| 83968 I love crypts. Why else would I keep visiting them with you? |
| 83969 I love the look on your face when something catches you by surprise, Hexxat. |
| 83970 Very funny. |
| 83971 I thought so. Now let's get the Unproved's Shroud and get out of here. |
| 83972 And yet you give me not even a hint of a smile. |
| 83973 I'm glad you think so. Now let's get down to business. |
| 83974 We seek the Shroud of the Unproved. Where is it? |
| 83975 Some people find my smile... unsettling. Now let's get down to business. |
| 83976 The fiendish caliph of Halwa trapped our spirits here. |
| 83977 Our punishment is just. |
| 83978 It is cruel and pointless. |
| 83979 What were you punished for? |
| 83980 I'm sorry to hear that, but I'd be sorrier still to hear more about it. |
| 83981 It is of no interest to me. Where is the Shroud of the Unproved? |
| 83982 For nothing! |
| 83983 The caliph's treachery makes for a dark tale indeed. |
| 83984 The treachery was Raffiyah's, not the caliph's. It was she who killed the mother of the prophet. |
| 83985 Raffiyah? Who? |
| 83986 Ah, what's a little treachery between friends? |
| 83987 Whatever treachery there was happened centuries ago. All that matters now is the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 83988 For our failure to save the prophet and his mother from Raffiyah's treachery. |
| 83989 Raffiyah? Who's that? |
| 83990 Well, I'm sure there's a very interesting and highly detailed story to be told about that, but I'd rather skip to the part where we snatch the Shroud of the Unproved and get the hell out of here. |
| 83991 Any failure you had must have happened centuries ago. It's time to let it go. |
| 83992 They are right. There is no justice in our plight. |
| 83993 One of us abetted the murder of Badiat. The rest of us failed to prevent it. For that, we must pay the price. |
| 83994 If you say so. In the meantime, if you'd be so good as to direct me to the Shroud of the Unproved, I'd be very appreciative. |
| 83995 The price for boring me is destruction. |
| 83996 It is true. We sought to protect the prophet. We might just as well have dropped him in a nest of vipers. |
| 83997 Centuries ago, we four predicted the coming of a great prophet who would lead our people to fortune and prosperity. |
| 83998 When her husband died, we arranged for the caliph to take the prophet's mother-to-be, Badiat, under his protection. |
| 83999 Hah! The caliph's interest in Badiat had nothing to do with protecting her. Though she was heavy with another man's child, the lecherous eel made her part of his harem. |
| 84000 Badiat impressed the caliph with her talent for weaving beautiful abas and caftans. He commanded his merchants to buy her the finest silk. |
| 84001 He tried to curry favor with the prophet's mother. In doing so, he did a grave injustice to his other wives. |
| 84002 The caliph's first wife, Raffiyah, had been in charge of all weaving for the household. |
| 84003 Badiat leveraged her unborn son's future power to usurp Raffiyah's rightful role. |
| 84004 Badiat earned her place in the caliph's household. |
| 84005 She earned Raffiyah's enmity and paid the price. |
| 84006 Raffiyah arranged to poison Badiatâ€â€with help from one of us. |
| 84007 Too late, we learned of Raffiyah's plan. We rushed to warn the caliph, but Badiat was already dead. |
| 84008 As was the supposed prophet she carried in her womb. |
| 84009 The Prophet Unproved. |
| 84010 Blinded by fury, the caliph had us buried down here. |
| 84011 We stand guard over the bones of the prophet and those he never had a chance to save. |
| 84012 You stand guard, huh? So you're probably going to try and stop us from getting the Shroud of the Unproved, then... |
| 84013 That's a little extreme, don't you think? Only one of you helped murder Badiat. Why cast all four of you down? |
| 84014 Rejoice, spirits. The days of your servitude are at an end. |
| 84015 The caliph was a petty man. |
| 84016 It was the treachery of one that killed the prophet, but the failure belongs to us all. We should have saved him. |
| 84017 We did all that we could. It was not enough for the caliph. Once he lost his precious Badiat, we were doomed. |
| 84018 A tragic tale. I am truly sorry for your misfortune. |
| 84019 The caliph sounds like a bit of a bastard. |
| 84020 Your days of telling tales and guarding the dead are over now, wraith. I come to bring you a final, lasting peace. |
| 84021 Key of Scholars |
| 84022 Save your sorrow for the Prophet Unproved and Badiat. |
| 84023 Yes, the usurper and the unborn are the only ones worthy of sympathy here. Spare not a thought for the poor, rejected Raffiyah or we four unjustly punished guardians of the truth. |
| 84024 There's room enough in my heart to feel pity for you all. |
| 84025 All right. We need the Shroud of the Unproved. Can you give it to us? |
| 84026 This key opens a door leading to the Crypt of Scholars within the tomb of Nan Kung Chi. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 84027 Some of us do not deserve pity. |
| 84028 Well, I'll feel it for you all the same. But if you'll excuse us, we must now venture farther into the crypt. |
| 84029 Somehow, I just can't get myself worked up over events that occurred hundreds of years ago. One of the joys of not being a spirit trapped guarding a crypt for hundreds of years, I suspect. |
| 84030 Then you'll get none from me. |
| 84031 Go, enjoy it. Take what you will and destroy what you don't. We cannot avenge ourselves, but you can strike a blow against the memory of the caliph and the Prophet Unproved. |
| 84032 He grasped and clawed his way to power and would have done anything to preserve it. He only took Badiat in because he sought to exploit her unborn child. |
| 84033 The caliph was a passionate man. Those passions were tempered by justice and wisdom. |
| 84034 My sisters' loyalty blinds them to the truth. Ignore them. |
| 84035 Very well. I seek the Shroud of the Unproved. Where can I find it? |
| 84036 After all the time that's passed, I kind of think the truth about the caliph is pretty much irrelevant. |
| 84037 I think I'll ignore all four of you. |
| 84038 You would steal from the Unproved? |
| 84039 Is that going to be a problem? |
| 84040 Stealing's such an ugly word. I prefer to think of it as permanently borrowing. |
| 84041 We would take a piece of cloth from the bones of a child that never so much as drew a breath. I see no harm in it. |
| 84042 They have a point. Go there, through the webs. You'll find everything you seek within. |
| 84043 I thank you for your guidance. |
| 84044 I'm not sure I trust you. |
| 84045 Don't get crusty with me, sand-witch! I'll cut you down! |
| 84046 The other doors are closed for a reason. Open them if you wish, but I warn you now you do so at your own risk. |
| 84047 You'll have to take the matter up with Raffiyah. 'Twas she who wove the Unproved's shroud. |
| 84048 I shall do so. What's the quickest way to the Shroud? |
| 84049 And she's in the crypt now? |
| 84050 She is entombed here as well? |
| 84051 That depends entirely upon you. |
| 84052 Go there, through the webs. You'll find everything you seek within. |
| 84053 I thank you for your guidance. |
| 84054 I'm not sure I trust you. |
| 84055 Perhaps I shall, but not until I'm sure we'll not have this place's spirit guardians hounding us from the rear. |
| 84056 You'll find her in the Chamber of the Unproved. |
| 84057 I thank you for your guidance. It is much appreciated. |
| 84058 I look forward to making her acquaintance. |
| 84059 Where is that? |

| 84061 The Jade Fang |
| 84062 This dagger is made entirely from a single cut of jade and has an edge suitable for splitting hairs. A complex ornamental design can be seen on either side, although their historical or cultural significance has long since been forgotten. The Jade Fang was the weapon of choice for famed Shou Lung thief Niu Weidan, who would use the dagger to immobilize his opponents before draining them of their life force to reinforce his own. Cornered countless times, Niu was always successful in using this dagger to escape. In the end, it wasn't an enemy or vengeful victim that felled Niu, but rather old age. The blade was passed down through his family as an heirloom and did not see use as a combat weapon from that point onward. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – 5% chance of stunning hit target for 10 seconds – Each successful hit heals the wielder for 1 HP THAC0: +3 Damage: 1d4+3 (piercing) Speed Factor: 0 Proficiency Type: Dagger Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 1 |
| 84063 This sparrow's wings are clipped. How far will he fall, I wonder? |
| 84064 Hey, <CHARNAME>. Get me out of here. Please? |
| 84065 I'll not be killed by sticky string... |
| 84066 I'll NOT be killed by STICKY STRING! |
| 84067 This stuff is gross! Get it off, get it off, GET IT OFF! |
| 84068 Looks like the Spider Queen gets the last laugh, after all. |
| 84069 If anyone's got any ideas, now's the time. |
| 84070 Fight! Fight with everything you've got! |
| 84071 Don't move. The more we struggle, the tighter the bonds become. |
| 84072 Use the Casque of Dragomir! Tombwalk us back outside! |
| 84073 I never fight with less, but every strand cut becomes two others that grab and bind. |
| 84074 I'm a man of action, <CHARNAME>. Give me something to hit! |
| 84075 That won't workâ€â€every move we make just tightens the web. |
| 84076 The Casque of Dragomirâ€â€it's our only chance. I can use it to open a portal out of here. |
| 84077 Doing nothing may keep us alive longer, but it won't get us out of this. |
| 84078 Damn it! I can't reach it! Can anyone else get to it? |
| 84079 The stink of magic fills this place. |
| 84080 Guess I'm lucky all this dust has my nose stuffed. |
| 84081 There's no shroud here. Let's move on. |
| 84082 Agreed. |
| 84083 Yes, let's move on. And by move on, I mean move back. All the way back to Amn, ideally. |
| 84084 The sooner we're out of here, the better. |
| 84085 Amn will be there when we get the Shroud. |
| 84086 Who are you? What are you doing here? |
| 84087 I am <CHARNAME>. I seek the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 84088 I guess that would be me. <CHARNAME>. Who are you, now? |
| 84089 What concern is that of yours? |
| 84090 Sha'ir. They're Zakharan magicians. |
| 84091 "Zakharan magicians," she says. As though that even begins to encompass the glory of Hawal's greatest sha'irs. |
| 84092 You seem to be alive. How is that possible? |
| 84093 Forgive her, please. She's not used to being in the presence of such awe-inspiring power. |
| 84094 You seem to be alive. Allow me to rectify that. |
| 84095 You did NOT just address me in such a disrespectful manner. Even vermin as ignorant as you could not be so foolish as to threaten the greatest sha'ir of the Hawalan caliphate. |
| 84096 Our lifespans were extended far beyond normal men's, that we might better guard the library and... the remains. |
| 84097 How long have we been here now, Iqbal? |
| 84098 I know only that it would not have seemed so long without your constant complaints, Diya. |
| 84099 Hah! Iqbal's arrow strikes true. You are the Great Grumbler, al-Hafiz. |
| 84100 That's understandable. There are few indeed who may gaze upon the visages of the cream of Hawal and find themselves untouched. |
| 84101 Only fools and madmen could fail to recognize the terrifying power we wield. |
| 84102 What concern is it of ours? We are the honor guard of the Unproved, you wretched clod! Divining the reason for your presence here is our ONLY concern! |
| 84103 You do not recognize the august personage of Diya al-Hafiz, premier sha'ir of the Hawal caliphate? |
| 84104 Forgive me, noble sir. I do not know your name. |
| 84105 Premier what of the what now? |
| 84106 Diya al-Hafiz? Of the Thayan al-Hafizes? |
| 84107 Do you recognize the face of your destroyer? |
| 84108 You dare threaten the greatest sha'ir in Hawal? Jackals will feast on your corpse, you impudent ruffian! |
| 84109 I am the greatest sha'ir in Hawal! |
| 84110 You are nothing of the sort! All fall short of the glory of Iqbal al-Din! |
| 84111 Dogs will eat the tongues of all those who lie and say there is any sha'ir of greater power or skill than Qais Ra'id! |
| 84112 You dare compare yourself to me, Ra'id? |
| 84113 There is no comparison to be made, Iqbal. You are dirt beneath my slippers. |
| 84114 And you are the worms that squirm in the dirt beneath my feet, Ra'id! Nay, not even thatâ€â€you are the food of the worms! |
| 84115 You should not argue so, O noble and mighty sha'irs. Obviously, you are all men of great power and ability. To squabble over who is greatest demeans you all. |
| 84116 If one of you would be so kind as to point me in the direction of the Shroud of the Unproved, I'd be happy to leave you to your debate. |
| 84117 You've spent centuries guarding a buried library in the tomb of an unborn child. You're all wormfood now, or might as well be. |
| 84118 What...? |
| 84119 Are you related to Rafi al-Hafiz? He and I went hunting together once. Bit full of himself, but a nice guy overall. |
| 84120 I know nothing of this man. |
| 84121 Oh. Then I'm afraid I have no idea who you are. |
| 84122 Your ignorance astonishes me, Diya al-Hafiz. |
| 84123 You dare call me ignorant? |
| 84124 Hah! They know your reputation well, Hafiz! |
| 84125 Be silent, Ra'id! My name is fouled when spoken by the lips of such as you. |
| 84126 What? My even acknowledging you is a blessing you ill deserve, you piggish lout! |
| 84127 Do not argue so. Obviously, you are both men of great power and ability. To squabble over who is greatest demeans you. |
| 84128 If one of you would be so kind as to point me in the direction of the Shroud of the Unproved, I'd be happy to leave you to your debate. |
| 84129 Be silent, the both of you. You're acting like children. |
| 84130 You have a serpent's tongue, <PRO_RACE>. Nothing can extinguish the glory that is Iqbal al-Din! |
| 84131 I'll extinguish it if you don't shut up, Iqbal. |
| 84132 You compare yourself to me, al-Hafiz? It is to laugh! |
| 84133 You're clearly all great and powerful men. Does it truly matter who's greatest and most powerful? |
| 84134 He did more than compare himself to you. I heard him say he was by far your superior. |
| 84135 You're all laughable. And my patience with your nonsense is at an end. |
| 84136 You would let this gnat defend your honor, Iqbal? It took some digging, but you've reached a new low. |
| 84137 No sane person could question it. |
| 84138 You call me insane, Hafiz? |
| 84139 You mock the greatest sha'irs of the legendary caliphate of Hawal? Die a thousand and one deaths, you absurd insect! |
| 84140 Is this true, al-Hafiz? |
| 84141 I did not say it, Iqbal, but you cannot deny its truth. |
| 84142 Is it true, Iqbal? Is al-Hafiz your better? |
| 84143 Oooh. Are you going to let him get away with that, Iqbal? |
| 84144 He insults you, mighty Iqbal. Let me punish him for you. |
| 84145 Defend yourself, you arrogant mongrel! |
| 84146 Stop it, the both of you. You're acting like children! |
| 84147 You call us children, Qais Ra'id? You, whose breath still stinks of your mother's milk! |
| 84148 You'll regret those words when this is over, you decrepit old vulture! |
| 84149 Then you seek your own doom! |
| 84150 You seek the treasure of the Prophet Unproved? |
| 84151 You have fought valiantly on my behalf. As a reward, I shall grant you one boon. What would you have? |
| 84152 I seek only to explore the tomb. |
| 84153 A way out of here. |
| 84154 I want the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 84155 I have only one to offer you. |
| 84156 Not his treasure, just his shroud. |
| 84157 Unfortunately, I cannot give you that. I am sworn to defend the Unproved from those who covet his treasure. So while I thank you for your assistance in dealing with the other sha'irs, I must also destroy you. You have my sincere gratitude and heartfelt apologies. |
| 84158 I am sworn to defend the crypt from those who would purloin the Unproved's treasure. What is your purpose in wanting to pass? |
| 84159 Is that a trick question? |
| 84160 I seek the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 84161 I do. |
| 84162 I'm an explorer. I just want to see how other cultures deal with their respected dead. |
| 84163 I seek only to pay my respects to the Prophet Unproved and his mother. |
| 84164 Iqbal asked you a question, bug. Answer it. |
| 84165 That is unfortunate. Knowing that, I cannot allow you to pass. Or indeed to live. Make peace with whatever gods you worship, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 84166 I am sorry, <PRO_RACE>, but I cannot risk letting anyone pass into the crypt. Go back from whence you came. |
| 84167 I need to get the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 84168 I'd really rather not. |
| 84169 I will, once I have the Shroud. |
| 84170 All right. |
| 84171 My answer is this: Stand aside or be destroyed. |
| 84172 You just made your final mistake, Iqbal. |
| 84173 Return from whence you came, little one. The greatest sha'irs of Hawal stand between you and the Unproved's resting place. |
| 84174 All you will receive from this place is death. |
| 84175 Insolent dog! Those words will be your last! |
| 84176 I alone could destroy you in more ways than there are stars in the sky. None can stand against my might combined with the skills of Ra'id and al-Hafiz. |
| 84177 I shall allow you to pass, but take care. The prophet has many protectors. Not all are as reasonable, charitable, and humble as I. |
| 84178 I'm afraid I cannot leave without the Shroud. |
| 84179 You really think you're that good? Al-Hafiz said you were mediocre at best. |
| 84180 I should like to test that claim. |
| 84181 Good, good dog. You did well to fight with me. |
| 84182 Thank you, Master Qais. |
| 84183 And you did well to have me fight with you. |
| 84184 Hexxat |
| 84185 You would be dead now were it not for me. |
| 84186 Hexxat |
| 84187 They are right. This bickering is beneath us. |
| 84188 Why have you come to this place? |
| 84189 What? Nonsense! You seriously believe those fools posed even the slightest danger to me? |
| 84190 I've come for the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 84191 The danger was more than slight. |
| 84192 No, of course not. Who could possibly threaten the great Diya al-Hafiz? |
| 84193 Let us pass and we'll call it even. |
| 84194 Know your place, dog, or I'll be forced to punish you. You won't like that. |
| 84195 Forgive me, master. |
| 84196 Will I like it less than being referred to as a dog? I can't see how. |
| 84197 No more than you will like what happens next. |
| 84198 "Master"? |
| 84199 Shut up and play along... |
| 84200 That's better. Good dog. GOOD. |
| 84201 Bad dog! BAD! |
| 84202 Al-Hafiz� You dare belittle the great Qais Ra'id by naming me al-Hafiz? You'll pay for this affront, you ignorant cur! |
| 84203 "Master Qais"? |
| 84204 I am here to support a friend. |
| 84205 That is no concern of yours. |
| 84206 They came to help me acquire the Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 84207 Just play along a moment... |
| 84208 What can I give you as a reward for your loyalty? |
| 84209 We seek to pass through to the Tomb of the Unproved. |
| 84210 The Shroud of the Unproved. |
| 84211 You have nothing I desire. I'll settle for your life. |
| 84212 You want to leave? Oh no, no, nonononononononono. Who would keep me company then? |
| 84213 Once I've explored the tomb, I'll return. |
| 84214 Judging from the other sha'irs, I'd think you'd appreciate a little peace and quiet now. |
| 84215 Iqbal and Hafiz, just as they have these past centuries. |
| 84216 There's a saying my people have: "If you love something, set it free. If you don't, it will kill you horribly in a library buried under the sands of the Zakharan desert." |
| 84217 You'd like a rag to play with? I'm sure there are better ones to be found; the tomb is crawling with weavers. |
| 84218 The Shroud of the Unproved is all that I want. |
| 84219 If you won't give me the Shroud, then allow me to go explore the tomb. |
| 84220 Give me the Shroud of the Unproved or pay the price. |
| 84221 That's unfortunate. As one of the Unproved's honor guard, I cannot allow you to have the Shroud. |
| 84222 No concern of ours? We are the honor guard of the Unproved, you wretched clod! Divining the reason for your presence here is our ONLY concern. |
| 84223 Your words are wasted on such ignorant riffraff. |
| 84224 Are... are you refusing to do as I bid you? |
| 84225 I'm afraid I am. |
| 84226 Are... are you as stupid as you sound? |
| 84227 I'm afraid I cannot allow you to stop me. |
| 84228 Can you let me explore the tomb? |
| 84229 Then you've outlived your usefulness. Actually, you did that several hundred years ago. Oh well, better late than never. |
| 84230 Oh. That's all right then. Be on your way, but be sure to come back soon. |
| 84231 You make a good point. All right, then, be off with you. But don't stray too farâ€â€you might not like where you end up. |
| 84232 Nooo, I don't think that will work for me. Best you stay here, where I can keep an eye on you. |
| 84233 I'm afraid that arrangement doesn't work for me. |
| 84234 Sorry, Qais. My favorite thing about libraries has always been leaving them. |
| 84235 I'll keep both your eyes on me after I cut them from your skull. |
| 84236 You threaten your master? |
| 84237 We can kill him now, right? |
| 84238 I am no man's servant. |
| 84239 You defy your master? |
| 84240 O glorious day! Finally, I am rid of those vacuous simpletons! |
| 84241 A glorious victory, mighty al-Hafiz. |
| 84242 They really were a couple of pompous windbags, weren't they? |
| 84243 With a little help from your friends. |
| 84244 What? You're still here? |
| 84245 Your hubris is your destruction, you repugnant simpleton! |
| 84246 How dare you? How DARE you? |
| 84247 Who are you to criticize Hawal's greatest sha'irs? |
| 84248 What monumental delusion makes you think for even a second that your opinion means anything? To anyone at all, never mind the greatest mystical minds of the mighty caliphate of Hawal? |
| 84249 Damn you, <CHARNAME>! I spend years avoiding Lolth and her servants, and you deliver me to this? |
| 84250 <CHARNAME>, wait! There's something not right about this place... |
| 84251 I'll suffer your presence no longer. Die! |
| 84252 What is it? |
| 84253 Ah, yes. I remember puberty. |
| 84254 You're right. It's a tomb and we're in it and that isn't right. So let's finish this up as quickly as possible. |
| 84255 Then let's spend as little time here as possible. |
| 84256 And now you threaten us. Were you a child, I'd find your impertinence amusing. |
| 84257 Some of the floor stones aren't safe to walk on. |
| 84258 What? Flies in my web? No, no, this will not do! |
| 84259 They are no child, Iqbal. And I am not amused. |
| 84260 It will not do, mistress. It cannot be. |
| 84261 Were you a child, I'd find your impertinence amusing. |
| 84262 As you say, mistress, this will not do; they cannot see. |
| 84263 Fly away, you. Go, get out. |
| 84264 I am <CHARNAME>. I have come for the Shroud of the Prophet Unproved. |
| 84265 Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. |
| 84266 I will, in my own time. |
| 84267 We can't leave, <CHARNAME>. Not without the Shroud. |
| 84268 The Shroud of the Unproved? |
| 84269 You will leave now or never again. |
| 84270 Tattered and old and ragged thing. What do you want with it? |
| 84271 I seek it for a friend. |
| 84272 I really just want to see it. I've heard it's marvelous. |
| 84273 I've got to take the Shroud to Cabrina. |
| 84274 Just hand it over, and we'll take our leave of you. |
| 84275 You'll not be friends long if you present them with that shabby cloth. |
| 84276 I'll come with you. |
| 84277 He was very specific about what he wanted. Nothing but the Shroud will do. |
| 84278 Where? |
| 84279 Will you give us the Shroud? |
| 84280 I'll meet you back at the Copper Coronet. |
| 84281 There's really no talking to the guy. |
| 84282 Give it to us and we'll have no quarrel. |
| 84283 Will you give us the Shroud? |
| 84284 I cannot. I will not. It's unworthy. |
| 84285 I heard it was quite pretty. |
| 84286 Let me be the judge of that. |
| 84287 Give us the Shroud, spider. Now. You don't want to make this more difficult than it has to be. |
| 84288 What? |
| 84289 The fly has truly done it now. |
| 84290 A lesson it will learn, and how. |
| 84291 I should kill you for such presumptuousness. |
| 84292 I meant no offense. I only meant to say that you've lived with the Shroud so long, you're probably sick of it by now. Fresh eyes might see things differently. |
| 84293 Please don't. |
| 84294 You could try. But you wouldn't like the outcome. |
| 84295 Die, insect! |
| 84296 If you would live, then go. |
| 84297 I'm afraid I can't leave without the Shroud. |
| 84298 Is there any wiggle room on the going part? Could I stay just for a little bit and still live? |
| 84299 I would live. But I will not go. |
| 84300 I said go! |
| 84301 Can't. Sorry. |
| 84302 When I've got the Shroud, and not a moment sooner. |
| 84303 Oh really? You heard that? What else? |
| 84304 That isn't necessary. |
| 84305 I heard that it was a work of exquisite beauty. That even now, centuries after its creation, the skill of its creator radiates from the piece, stunning all who set eyes upon it. |
| 84306 That's all, really. It's supposed to be really good. |
| 84307 I heard that it's here. I want it to be somewhere else. Hand it over. |
| 84308 Then let's spend as little time here as possible. |
| 84309 It was... acceptable. Tolerable work, at the time. I've learned much since then. It would embarrass me to look upon it again. |
| 84310 Some of the floor stones aren't safe to walk on. |
| 84311 You say you made the Shroud? |
| 84312 Is it a trap, or a structural flaw? |
| 84313 Not necessary, but I'd like to do it all the same. |
| 84314 Can you tell me which ones? |
| 84315 You're too hard on yourself. Let me see it for myself, please. I'm begging you here. |
| 84316 A trap, definitely. Considering how long this place has been down here, it's in pretty good shape. |
| 84317 After all we've been through, you'd deny me the pleasure of your company? |
| 84318 The delicate balance, the nearly hidden wires... I see it more clearly now. Avoid the cracked stones and the webbed openings. The clear openings and the pristine stones should be safe. |
| 84319 You'll feel no embarrassment, I promise you. You'll feel nothing at all when I'm finished with you. |
| 84320 Very well. If you'd rather I not come, I'll not force the issue. |
| 84321 Empty space and nice stones safe: got it. |
| 84322 Are you threatening me, fly? ME? |
| 84323 "Should"? |
| 84324 Very well. If you must. |
| 84325 You're saying the empty spaces where there are no stones are safe? Seriously? |
| 84326 Raffiyah made the Shroud and everything you see. |
| 84327 I'll meet you back at the Coronet. |
| 84328 ...No. Sorry. |
| 84329 Great. Well, I guess there's only one way to find out... |
| 84330 Mistress of weaving, she. |
| 84331 I can't tell which ones are safe and which aren't. |
| 84332 You are Raffiyah? |
| 84333 Fantastic. I guess we find out the hard way... |
| 84334 This is all yours? Your skills are without parallel. Truly. |
| 84335 Can you do better? |
| 84336 Very well, join me if you must. |
| 84337 Mistress of death, if the stories are true. |
| 84338 It is the Tomb of the Unproved. It makes a certain amount of sense. |
| 84339 If you say so. |
| 84340 Far be it from me to deny you anything, <CHARNAME>â€â€particularly pleasure. |
| 84341 Nonsense is a certain kind of sense. |
| 84342 Even now, my work is ignored in favor of the wretched never-was prophet! Die! Die like Badiat and her unborn whelp! |
| 84343 No, it doesn't. That makes no sense at all. |
| 84344 Let's go. |
| 84345 No longer. Now I am but a weaver. |
| 84346 That's my girl. |
| 84347 One of unsurpassed skill. Please, gentle weaver, grant my wish. Let me look upon the Shroud of the Unproved, I beg you. |
| 84348 Pleasure can wait till you've finished this business with Cabrina. |
| 84349 You are clearly much more, milady. |
| 84350 Soon you won't even be that. |
| 84351 I'm no girl. And I'm certainly not yours. |
| 84352 It wants nothing more than to see the Unproved shroud. |
| 84353 I meant no offense. |
| 84354 You're right, of course. But don't be surprised if I try to change the last part. |
| 84355 Mistress, no. It cannot be allowed. |
| 84356 You forget your place, Jabira! It is my work to show, and they clearly want to see it. |
| 84357 Take the compliment, Hexxat. |
| 84358 I do. I truly do. |
| 84359 I'll take one when I hear one. Let's go. |
| 84360 Remember your place, Jabira. |
| 84361 Forget it. I'm just anxious to be done with L. Let's go finish this. |
| 84362 Show me the Shroud, Raffiyah. |
| 84363 Best of luck with that. Now let's go finish this. |
| 84364 The <PRO_RACE> insults your servant, mistress. |
| 84365 Will you allow Jabira's distress? |
| 84366 Jabira and Sundus belong to me, little one. They must remember their placeâ€â€clearly, you must be taught yours. |
| 84367 Ignore my assistants. They regard themselves a little too highly. Come in, come in if you would see the shroud. Oh, this is wonderful. It's been so long since anyone expressed an interest. |
| 84368 The Copper Coronet. |
| 84369 If you consider the meaning behind such a trap and the contents within the to |
| 84370 They express an interest in the mistress. |
| 84371 I'll come with you. |
| 84372 No. No, no, no. This is clearly ridiculous. What kind of terrible person designs a place like this? Or any of the other places I've been to? Spike traps? Pits of boiling acid? A statue that LAUNCHES SPIDERS AT PEOPLE?! What kind of mind comes up with these contraptions, and then convinces others to aid in their construction? And often hewn out of stone, no less! Dozens, no, HUNDREDS of people must have been involved in the construction of these impossibly convoluted death traps! |
| 84373 I'll ignore this pest though under duress. |
| 84374 Usually, you meet in a more public setting. Why the change? |
| 84375 Here it is. As I say, it's quite old and it is not my best work, but perhaps it's not as bad as I remembered...? |
| 84376 Do you have a point to make, <CHARNAME>? |
| 84377 I'll leave you to it. |
| 84378 It is everything I had heard, and more. A marvelous piece of work. |
| 84379 I don't know, and I'm not inclined to care. |
| 84380 It must have been a thing of true beauty when you first made it. But you were right: It's old now, ragged. Hardly worthy to touch the body of the prophet. |
| 84381 It is all that I require. Farewell. |
| 84382 It insults your work, O gentle mistress! |
| 84383 I don't like it. I better go with you. |
| 84384 Send word to Cabrina to meet you at the Coronet. You'll be safer there. |
| 84385 Take care of yourself. |
| 84386 That's not how this game is played. |
| 84387 I better come with you then. Just in case you need backup. |
| 84388 I don't like games where the rules change without notice. |
| 84389 Nobody's asking you to play it. I'll meet you back at the Coronet. |
| 84390 Wait! I'll come with you. You may need backup. |
| 84391 I'll see you there. |
| 84392 Will you let it live, even after this? |
| 84393 Hey, <CHARNAME>, it's your dead friend. |
| 84394 Hello, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84395 You dare criticize my work? MINE? You despicable vermin? That shroud will be the last thing you ever see! |
| 84396 You flatter me. |
| 84397 Hexxat. How did things go with Cabrina? |
| 84398 May I keep it? |
| 84399 Hello, Hexxat. What's the good word from L? |
| 84400 None of that, now. You are truly the greatest weaver I've ever encountered. |
| 84401 Good <DAYNIGHTALL>, Hexxat. Is your business with L complete? |
| 84402 I've not come to praise you, spider-thing. |
| 84403 While L is to blame for my current state, he at least gave me a goal, a reason to keep moving forward in the world. |
| 84404 Then join the Unproved! |
| 84405 You'll find other reasons. Better ones. I hardly think they could be worse. |
| 84406 It's been too long since I had the chance to talk to someone of such refined taste. You provide a welcome respite from my servants' chattering. |
| 84407 This shroud is wonderful. Is there anything, anything at all, I could offer in exchange for it? |
| 84408 Stay with me, Hexxat. I've goals enough for both of us. |
| 84409 Your patience is admirable, as is everything about you. |
| 84410 No one knows what the future holds. As long as tomorrow awaits, that's reason enough to finish the day. |
| 84411 I'll provide you a respite from all that vexes you, monster. |
| 84412 All your flattering words are as smoke. Die! |
| 84413 I hope you're right, <CHARNAME>. But I fear you may be wrong. |
| 84414 It should be, but... I've dreaded this moment, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84415 Stop your chattering, you two! They are right. The work is old. Though I have no love for the prophet, even he deserves better than this tattered rag. |
| 84416 Perhaps you could weave a new shroud? With all that you've learned over the years, I'm sure that what you make now would be vastly superior to the old one, even when it were new. |
| 84417 Oh, yes? What goals are those, then? |
| 84418 I'd be willing to take this tattered rag off your hands. Legs. You know what I mean. |
| 84419 I'm glad you think so, as it means you'll not be disappointed when I take it. |
| 84420 I think you can probably guess at least one of them. |
| 84421 Yes... Yes! A new shroud! A veil of such beauty that all shall forget who lies beneath! Jabira! Sundus! We shall commence work immediately. |
| 84422 Riches, fame, wealth, glory, gold, prestige, treasure, honor, prosperity... I'm sure I'm missing something. Did I mention riches and fame? |
| 84423 I cannot express the gratitude I feel having been allowed to gaze upon your work, Raffiyah. I shall treasure this memory. |
| 84424 I've an inheritance to claim. It won't be easy. |
| 84425 You are as wise as you are beautiful. I'll get rid of the old shroud for you. |
| 84426 I'll leave you to your labors. |
| 84427 I think you're right. I look forward to seeing you achieve it. |
| 84428 Yes, yes. Go away now. There's much to be done. |
| 84429 Some things are beyond even your reach, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84430 ...What? |
| 84431 Forgive my coarse manners, I beg you. The stunning quality of your work affected me deeply. I should not have been so vulgar. |
| 84432 Sounds good, but what will we do the day AFTER tomorrow? |
| 84433 The Shroud. I would have it for my own. |
| 84434 It could be harder. You could have to do it without me... |
| 84435 I'm taking the Shroud, weaver. |
| 84436 Fine. They went fine. My obligation to L is at an end. |
| 84437 Liar! |
| 84438 Wicked thing! My work is the last thing your living eyes will see! |
| 84439 You're finally free. |
| 84440 What? What is this you tell me now? |
| 84441 You don't seem as pleased about that as I might have hoped. |
| 84442 You would take the Shroud...? No, no no no... |
| 84443 Good riddance to bad rubbish. |
| 84444 You care nothing for my work, beyond possessing it! |
| 84445 Not at all. I did not lie; your weaving skills are unparalleled. It's only the Shroud that I would take. |
| 84446 Dear lady, you wound me! I wish only to have a memento, a reminder of my time here. |
| 84447 In truth, I wish only to possess the Shroud. The rest of your work is technically proficient at best. Hardly worth looking at. |
| 84448 The word is... freedom. My obligation to L is concluded. |
| 84449 So sweet you are, so charming. |
| 84450 This is fantastic news! |
| 84451 You don't seem as pleased about that as I might have hoped. |
| 84452 Sweet and charming, so says she. |
| 84453 Good riddance to bad rubbish. |
| 84454 Hurtful, harming? It cannot be. |
| 84455 Flatterer. Your words are kind, but I know what your words are worth. They slide like venom off your serpent's tongue. Die! Die like Badiat and her cursed monster! |
| 84456 It is. |
| 84457 Let's get out of here. |
| 84458 Yes, let's. |
| 84459 Free, yes... Part of me has dreaded this moment, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84460 Soon. This tomb may yet have something to offer us in the way of a reward. |
| 84461 I'm not ready to go yet. |
| 84462 Hello, Hexxat. You're looking well, especially for someone who's just come from the Tomb of the Unproved. Have you got the Shroud? |
| 84463 I would leave this place, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84464 I do. I believe this concludes my business with L? |
| 84465 So would I. It's creepy. |
| 84466 For the time being. |
| 84467 So L is satisfied to just let Hexxat go? |
| 84468 Really? I'm starting to like it. |
| 84469 I'm not done here yet. |
| 84470 No waffling. Hexxat owes your master nothing. |
| 84471 She's done with your master, Cabrina. I don't want to see you again. |
| 84472 Like I care what you want. It's what Hexxat wants to see againâ€â€or for the first timeâ€â€that interests me. |
| 84473 I'll see you around, Cabrina. |
| 84474 I'll hold you to that, darling. |
| 84475 Her current obligations have been met, it's true. But there is much L could offer a young vampire adrift in the worldâ€â€and we all know this particular vampire has much to offer him. All I'm saying is that there are no bridges burnt here. If Hexxat needs something from L, she only has to ask. |
| 84476 I'll keep it in mind. See you around, Cabrina. |
| 84477 Are you ready to go yet? |
| 84478 All the way around this time, I hope. Farewell, Hexxat. <CHARNAME>. |
| 84479 What? I thought I was waiting for you. |
| 84480 Patience, Hexxat. Patience. |
| 84481 I was an employee, <CHARNAME>. Not a slave. |
| 84482 Did I SAY I'm ready to go? |
| 84483 I just thought it was interesting to note. |
| 84484 Gah! Spider! |
| 84485 Hexxat has done what L asked of her, if not quite as promptly as he might have hoped in the case of Dragomir's Casque. But there is much L could offer a young vampire adrift in the worldâ€â€and we all know this particular vampire has much to offer him. There are no bridges burnt here. If Hexxat needs something from L, she only has to ask. |
| 84486 I'll chop yer legs off and feed 'em to ya, y'blasted arachnids! |
| 84487 And that would seem to be that. |
| 84488 Protect Boo! They'd eat him like a piece of candy! |
| 84489 Haven't you seen enough of this place, <CHARNAME>? |
| 84490 More than enough. Let's go. |
| 84491 Wow. That is one big stone face. |
| 84492 You're finally free. |
| 84493 Not quite enough. Not yet. |
| 84494 I'll let you know when I have, Hexxat. |
| 84495 Who would enter the Tomb of the Prophet Unproved? |
| 84496 You don't seem as pleased about that as I might have hoped. |
| 84497 And it talks! |
| 84498 Good riddance to bad rubbish. |
| 84499 I don't think there's much more to be done here. |
| 84500 Hey, stone face, why the long... no, no. It fell apart on me. |
| 84501 You're right. Let's head back to Amn. |
| 84502 While L is to blame for my current state, he at least gave me a goal, a reason to keep moving forward in the world. |
| 84503 I'm not sure you're right. |
| 84504 Most things do. |
| 84505 We have what we came for, <CHARNAME>. We should go. |
| 84506 All right. |
| 84507 I don't want to go quite yet. I can't help but feel like I'm missing something here. |
| 84508 You'll find other reasons. Better ones. I hardly think they could be worse. |
| 84509 You have what you came for, Hexxat. We'll leave when I'm satisfied this place has nothing more to offer. |
| 84510 Stay with me, Hexxat. I've goals enough for both of us. |
| 84511 No one knows what the future holds. As long as tomorrow awaits, that's reason enough to finish the day. |
| 84512 I hope you're right, <CHARNAME>. But I fear you may be wrong. |
| 84513 Free, yes... I've dreaded this moment, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84514 Oh, yes? What goals are those, then? |
| 84515 I think you can probably guess at least one of them. |
| 84516 Riches, fame, wealth, glory, gold, prestige, treasure, honor, prosperity... I'm sure I'm missing something. Did I mention riches and fame? |
| 84517 I've an inheritance to claim. It won't be easy. |
| 84518 I think you're right. I look forward to seeing you achieve it. |
| 84519 Some things are beyond even your reach, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84520 Sounds good, but what will we do the day AFTER tomorrow? |
| 84521 It could be harder. You could have to do it without me... |
| 84522 Answer now or return from whence you came. |
| 84523 I am <GABBER>. |
| 84524 Why do you ask? |
| 84525 That is no concern of yours. |
| 84526 And if I don't want to answer? |
| 84527 I am Killen of the Shining Plains. |
| 84528 I will not. |
| 84529 Answer my questions, Killen of the Shining Plains, and prove yourself worthy. Four hakima predicted the birth of the Great Prophet. What were their names? |
| 84530 Rabi'ah, Aminah, Bilqis, and Sukayna. |
| 84531 Heddrin, Geddrin, Ceddrin, and Malau. |
| 84532 Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Sue. |
| 84533 Tariqqa, Malika, Tsuraya, and Alima. |
| 84534 I had a fruitful discussion with the ladies in question, but I cannot recall their names. |
| 84535 I do not know. |
| 84536 You already know their names. |
| 84537 Answer my questions, <GABBER>, and prove yourself worthy. Four hakima predicted the birth of the Great Prophet. What are their names? |
| 84538 You do not know the names. Place your hand within my mouth. |
| 84539 As you wish. (Place hand in mouth.) |
| 84540 That's a little forward, don't you think? |
| 84541 You'll crumble to dust and blow in the wind before that happens. |
| 84542 Place your hand within my mouth. |
| 84543 Very well. |
| 84544 At least buy me a drink first. |
| 84545 No. Never. |
| 84546 I'm so proud of you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84547 The Prophet Unproved died before he left his mother's womb. Who killed him? |
| 84548 Asima, first wife of the caliph of Halwa. |
| 84549 The caliph's first wife, Raffiyah. |
| 84550 Well, that's a bit of a thorny question, isn't it? I mean, he was never born, so can one truly claim he died? This is something great philosophical minds could debate for decades or longer. I'm really not qualified to make the judgment, and with respect, giant stone faces aren't really in a position to make that call either, wouldn't you agree? |
| 84551 That, I do not know. |
| 84552 You do not know who murdered the Unproved. Place your hand within my mouth. |
| 84553 All right. |
| 84554 Are you sure you want me to do that? You don't know where my hand's been. |
| 84555 In your dreams, rocky. |
| 84556 Who is the father of the Prophet Unproved? |
| 84557 Muharr. |
| 84558 The caliph of Halwa. |
| 84559 I know not. |
| 84560 I am. |
| 84561 It's hard to say with one hundred percent certainty. We have only the mother's word, after all. |
| 84562 You do no know the father of the Unproved. Place your hand within my mouth. |
| 84563 If I must. |
| 84564 I'd really rather not. |
| 84565 Suck your own thumb, you perverted piece of brick. |
| 84566 What is the name of the mother of the Unproved, who was stolen from us before her time? |
| 84567 Badiat. |
| 84568 Babiat. |
| 84569 Dabiat. |
| 84570 Is someone who never actually gave birth actually considered a mother? |
| 84571 I do not know. |
| 84572 You know not the name of the mother of the Unproved. Place your hand within my mouth. |
| 84573 Fine. |
| 84574 Choke on it, face. |
| 84575 Never. |
| 84576 What is the Unproved's name? |
| 84577 I don't know that. |
| 84578 The Unproved had a name? |
| 84579 Diya al-Hafiz. |
| 84580 And you never shall. This is the great tragedy of the Unproved. |
| 84581 The prophet never had the chance to have a name. This is the great tragedy of the Unproved. |
| 84582 Where can I find those? |
| 84583 Torn Map |
| 84584 This tattered map seems to depict the location of a dwarven clanhold. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 84585 Sharran Sorceress |
| 84586 Sharran Priestess |
| 84587 The killer! I've found the killer! Get <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 84588 Ah! Damn my hands. This is no life for a dwarfâ€â€or anyone, come to think of it. |
| 84589 Brightaxe willing, these Sharrans will pay for this indignity. |
| 84590 Sharindlar preserve us from this nightmare. |
| 84591 Ah, quit yer whingin', y'lazy kids. We did worse'n this in my day, an' never did're elders hear us complain about it. |
| 84592 Every dwarf has his day. Remember: Every dwarf has his day... |
| 84593 You must rid Deepstone of the Dark Moon. |
| 84594 Please, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. You've freed us; now do the same for our clansmen. |
| 84595 What're you standin' round here for, then? Git to the mountain and finish the bloody job! |
| 84596 The Sharrans have no idea what's coming for them. |
| 84597 Deepstone will have its revenge on the servants of Shar. |
| 84598 Cheers for <CHARNAME>! |
| 84599 <CHARNAME>! Huzzah! |
| 84600 Deepstone has crushed the defilers! |
| 84601 The day belongs to Deepstone! |
| 84602 This is so great. |
| 84603 Well done, <CHARNAME>. Deepstone is forever in your debt. |
| 84604 Ho there! How goes things? |
| 84605 Well. I've got what you need to blast the tunnel into the mines open. |
| 84606 Good. I got your rock salt. |
| 84607 All right. I have Meems's "secret ingredient." |
| 84608 I liberated your people in the lumber camp. |
| 84609 Why? What've you heard? |
| 84610 Could be better. I'm still trying to find a way into the mountain that doesn't involve a direct assault on the main doors. Any ideas? |
| 84611 Killed a few Sharrans. Could be worse. |
| 84612 Could be better, could be worse. |
| 84613 Why do you want to know? |
| 84614 No need to be defensive. I just wanted to know how you were doin'. |
| 84615 I'm fine. Fine. |
| 84616 Honestly? I'm a little on edge. |
| 84617 It's no concern of yours. |
| 84618 Glad to hear it... |
| 84619 Yes. Yes, I noticed that. |
| 84620 I'm not sure that's true. But I'll let it slide for the moment. |
| 84621 I like your style. |
| 84622 That's excellent news. We're one step closer to cleansing Deepstone of the Sharran scum. |
| 84623 One step closer to Alorgoth... |
| 84624 Not unless you've got some rock salt, potion of explosions, and special grog. |
| 84625 I actually do have those things. |
| 84626 I actually have the grog. Got if off a mercenary across the bridge. |
| 84627 I have the potion, if that helps. |
| 84628 I've got some rock salt. |
| 84629 I have the potion and some rock salt. |
| 84630 The grog and potion I've actually got. |
| 84631 Rock salt and the grog are no problemâ€â€I've already got those. |
| 84632 I'll keep an eye out. |
| 84633 Explain yourself. |
| 84634 Really? Then we've got a way into the mountainâ€â€or we will, once we use those items to blast open the tunnel we've been working on. |
| 84635 Let's make some noise. |
| 84636 I'm not sure using a potion of explosions in a tunnel is substantially safer than a full-on assault of the main entry. |
| 84637 I need to think about this. |
| 84638 Come back after you've scared up some courage, you delicate flower. |
| 84639 THINK? This is no time for thinkin', <PRO_RACE>! We've a mountain to liberate. |
| 84640 You're right. Let's do it. |
| 84641 And we willâ€â€but not that way. At least not if I can find a better. |
| 84642 You've a mountain to liberate. I have my own concerns. |
| 84643 We need those items, <CHARNAME>. Ye will hand them over one way or another. |
| 84644 Let's do it the easy way. |
| 84645 You are a skilled negotiator. Here, take them. |
| 84646 Try and take them, dwarf. |
| 84647 For Deepstone! |
| 84648 Will ye join us in attackin' the mine? |
| 84649 I wouldn't miss it. |
| 84650 You have to ask? |
| 84651 I'm not that desperate. Not yet, anyway. |
| 84652 Yes. |
| 84653 Oh. Well, I'm with you. |
| 84654 Confined spaces and explosions are the kind of cocktail I can do without. But good luck. |
| 84655 Work on getting the potion of explosions ready, but wait for me to return before using it. |
| 84656 Find some rock salt and a potion of explosions, and we'll be able to finish the tunnel into the mine we've been workin' on. |
| 84657 Find the grog and a potion of explosions, and we'll be able to finish the tunnel into the mine we've been workin' on. |
| 84658 Find some rock salt and grog, and we'll be able to finish the tunnel into the mine we've been workin' on. |
| 84659 Find some grog, and we'll be able to finish the tunnel into the mine we've been workin' on. |
| 84660 Find some rock salt, and we'll be able to finish the tunnel into the mine we've been workin' on. |
| 84661 Find a potion of explosions, and we'll be able to finish the tunnel into the mine we've been workin' on. |
| 84662 We've been tunnelin' under the river into the mine. But to clear it, we need a few things: rock salt, a potion of explosions, and some grog. |
| 84663 A potion of explosions isn't enough on its own? |
| 84664 The Sharrans will likely hear any detonation we try down there. If we're to retain the element of surprise, we need to make absolutely sure the way gets cleared with a single blast. |
| 84665 I'll keep an eye out for what you need. |
| 84666 Well met, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84667 What are you doing up here? I thought you'd have blasted your tunnel open by now. |
| 84668 How goes the tunnel clearance? |
| 84669 No time to talk with you right now. |
| 84670 Mixin' the ingredients is a delicate process, but we're nearly ready. Will ye join us in the assault? |
| 84671 Yes. I've found no better options for penetrating the mountain. |
| 84672 Sure, why not? Dwarves in cramped spaces with potions of explosions and special grog, what could possibly go wrong? |
| 84673 One of you helped kill the mother of the prophet? |
| 84674 No. |
| 84675 The potion of explosions is ready, <CHARNAME>. Are you? |
| 84676 I am. Let's go. |
| 84677 As ready as I'm going to get. |
| 84678 Soon. Give me a little more time. |
| 84679 Very well. But Deepstone won't wait forever... |
| 84680 Please tell me ye've some good news. I need some. |
| 84681 I have what you need to clear the tunnel. |
| 84682 What happened? |
| 84683 No. I'm sorry. |
| 84684 We tried to clear the tunnel manuallyâ€â€it didn't work out so good. I lost two of my kinsmen. |
| 84685 I'm sorry I wasn't able to gather the items you needed in time to save them. |
| 84686 You should have waited for me. |
| 84687 The Sharrans will answer for their deaths, I promise you. |
| 84688 Soon. Very soon. |
| 84689 You have the materials? |
| 84690 I do. |
| 84691 More than that. I also freed your kinsmen from the lumber camp. |
| 84692 No. Not yet. |
| 84693 It's good to see you again, cousin. |
| 84694 Cuddy! I feared you were lost. Perhaps we have a chance to drive the accursed Shar worshippers from our home after all. |
| 84695 It may be too late to save my cousins, but at least I'll see them avenged. |
| 84696 That IS good news. |
| 84697 *glugs from a bottle* |
| 84698 *hic* |
| 84699 Tellin' me... can't drink on the job. Buncha... don't... *hic* |
| 84700 An' they're all dead! |

| 84715 Oh, aye. I've got what you need all right. |
| 84716 The grog. Hand it over. |
| 84717 And I've got what you need right here... |
| 84718 Stop toying with the man, <CHARNAME>. We've serious matters to attend to. |
| 84719 Are you with the Shar-Sharrans? I don't rec'nize you. |
| 84720 Of course I'm with the Sharrans, you idiot. Who else would be wandering around? Now, Alorgoth needs the grog to perform some sort of spell, so hand it over. |
| 84721 No, I'm actually with the dwarves. You know, the ones you helped drive from their home? |
| 84722 I know. If you did, you'd never have let me get this close. |
| 84723 Give me the grog, and you'll not find me unappreciative. |
| 84724 Oh, I'll get creative, all right. When this is done, they won't even recognize you. |
| 84725 It's worth more than your wretched life. |
| 84726 See now, thass what weâ€â€what we call a mistake. You could've beenâ€â€been friendly. 'N now I gotta be UNfriendly. |
| 84727 Awwww, crap! Ye'reâ€â€ye'reâ€â€ye're a whadjacallit, a one of those things... On your guard, intruder! |
| 84728 Al'rgoth needs it. Whyncha say so? Here, take it, take it! Tellâ€â€tell'm Tallus kept it safe for'm. |
| 84729 Thass notâ€â€not what I had in mind. Havatcha! |

| 84731 Seriously, <CHARNAME>? Have you no shame? |
| 84732 Woot! Now we're talkin'. Here, hang onna this while I takeâ€â€m'clothes off. Hey, 's that an ephelant? |
| 84733 Huh? Whoâ€â€who're you then? |
| 84734 You can call me <CHARNAME>. |
| 84735 Never you mind who I am, you pathetic drunkard. |

| 84739 No, I'm actually with the dwarves. You know, the ones you helped drive from their home? |
| 84740 I know. If you did, you'd never have let me get this close. |
| 84741 Thatâ€â€thatâ€â€that *hic* that is SPECTACULAR. I'mâ€â€m'name is Tallus. |
| 84742 It's good to meet you, Tallus. |
| 84743 I've heard of you, Tallus. And by heard, I meant smelled, from fifty feet away. |
| 84744 Farewell, Tallus. |
| 84745 We've no time for pleasantries. Please, forgive me. |
| 84746 Hey. Y'wanna go somewhere a l'il more... private? We can, I dunno. Talk 'bout things. |
| 84747 I don't think so. |
| 84748 Talking doesn't really seem like something you've a gift for. |
| 84749 I'm afraid I can't at the moment. I've got to slaughter some Sharran mercenaries. Maybe later? |
| 84750 See now, thass what weâ€â€what we call a mistake. You could've beenâ€â€been friendly. 'N now I gotta be UNfriendly. |
| 84751 Awwww, crap! Ye'reâ€â€ye'reâ€â€ye're a whadjacallit, a one of those things... On your guard, intruder! |
| 84752 'S a good point. Pass, friend! |
| 84753 Oho! So thass the way 'tis. Well, you just madeâ€â€madejer first error. On your guardian! |
| 84754 Hold on now. Where'dja think ye're goin'? |
| 84755 We've come a long way together, <CHARNAME>, but the path you're onâ€â€I cannot walk it any further. |
| 84756 You would leave me? |
| 84757 What? Why not? Oh, right, the Shar-worshipping thing. Ugh. |
| 84758 Seriously? But this is where things get entertaining. |
| 84759 You leave me little choice. |
| 84760 I cannot knowingly take up arms against those who worship my own goddess. |
| 84761 Then I guess this is where we part ways. |
| 84762 I'll not lose you over this. |
| 84763 I don't respond well to ultimatums. |
| 84764 Oh. I had hoped... It does not matter what I hoped. Goodbye, <CHARNAME>. |
| 84765 For you, perhaps. |
| 84766 Then come with me, back to Athkatla or at least away from this madness. |
| 84767 I had hoped to avoid making one. But that is no longer possible. What will it be? Me, or this? |
| 84768 You, of course. |
| 84769 I'll always have a special place in my heart for you, Viconia. But I cannot abandon Rasaad now. |
| 84770 It's a dwarven stronghold, Viconia. You can hardly expect me to turn back now. |
| 84771 I've come too far to turn back now, <CHARNAME>. I understand your decision and respect it. But I will do what I must, with or without you. Farewell. |
| 84772 Let us go, then. |
| 84773 Then you abandon me. I would say farewell, <CHARNAME>â€â€but I wouldn't mean it. |
| 84774 Faster! Work faster, you lazy curs! |
| 84775 Please, I beg you. We need rest! |
| 84776 Do as you're told or it's the whip for you! |
| 84777 You think you've got it bad here? Thank your gods you're not in the mines, dwarf! |
| 84778 Alorgoth's patience is wearing thin. Get those trees cut and in the water, you stinking runts! |
| 84779 Water. I need water. You're killing us, damn you! |
| 84780 What should we do? |
| 84781 Your entranceâ€â€take me to it, quickly! |
| 84782 We can't use your entrance in front of the Sharrans. Wipe them out! |
| 84783 Subtlety's off the table now. Take the main entrance! |
| 84784 Die, infidel! |
| 84785 We'll never break through the doors. Follow me; I know another way in. |
| 84786 You're too late, fools! |
| 84787 Sharran worm! Die as my brother died! |
| 84788 Death to all who oppose Shar! |
| 84789 That is no concern of yours. |

| 84805 Rock salt is commonly used in the creation of potions of explosions, and when ground down, it brings out the flavor in any casserole. STATISTICS: Weight: 15 |
| 84806 Meems's Special Grog |

| 84811 These comfortable boots provide monks of the Sun Soul with exceptional arch support, allowing them to perform feats that would lead to crippling back pain in ordinary people. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 Weight: 1 |
| 84812 WIP - This note, taken from Hammerhelm, reveals the location of the Heretic Temple on the worldmap. |
| 84813 Eyes of the Beholder |
| 84814 Ages ago, the infamous conjurer Nederath created this artifact from the remains of a powerful beholder. It takes the form of a helm crowned by ten eyestalks. The wearer can gaze through a central eye and focus the helm's power toward enemies. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +1 – Protects against critical hits Charge abilities (May be used 3 times per day each): – Control: Target is dominated for 1 turn (Save vs. Spell negates) – Paralyze: Target is held for 1 turn (Save vs. Spell negates) – Fear: Target flees in terror for 1 turn (Save vs. Spell negates) Weight: 2 |
| 84815 Wheel of Obliteration |
| 84816 This powerful artifact was constructed by followers of Shar, the Mistress of the Night. When used near a large collection of shadow gems, the Wheel weakens the fabric between the Prime Material Plane and the Plane of Shadow, creating a gateway between them. The Wheel can also close such gateways. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Opens a portal between the Plane of Shadow and the Prime Material Plane. The Wheel must be near a concentration of shadow gems for it to function. Weight: 1 |

| 84831 Cloak of the Dark Moon |
| 84832 Those that worship Shar often draw upon their dark goddess's power in creating magical items. This Cloak of the Dark Moon seems to have been crafted under such circumstances. At first glance, this cloak seems to absorb all light cast upon it, appearing as a pile of black nothingness. Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that this finely crafted cloak is not entirely black; it has a subtle and endlessly shifting texture to it. The cloak possesses no magical aura, but does indeed have potent abilities. When worn, it will rapidly shrink or expand to properly fit the wearer. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 – Saving Throws: +2 at night – Immunity to blindness Charge abilities: – Protection from Magical Energy 3 times per day Area of Effect: The wearer Duration: 4 hours Weight: 3 |
| 84833 Headband of the Devout |
| 84834 Though the Headband of the Devout had always been associated with Shar's worshippers, its creation remains shrouded in mystery. It appeared in the annals of history suddenly and violently, the distinguishing feature of a Sharran clergy member that had "purified" a temple dedicated to Selûne in Waterdeep. It appeared again several decades later in Purskul as Dark Moon monk usurpers terrorized the local nobles. The true origins of the artifact are unknown to this day. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Bless – Immunity to confusion Charge abilities: – Righteous Magic once per day User receives +10 Hit Points and +3 Strength (up to 25), and inflicts maximum damage for each successful hit Duration: 1 turn Weight: 1 |
| 84835 Cloak of Atonement |
| 84836 Atonement involves making reparations, paying a price. The Cloak of Atonement takes this requirement literally. In exchange for protection and safety, it will leech the health of its wearer to power itself. STATISTICS: Charge abilities (50 charges): – On use, this cloak can reduce the wearer's Constitution score by one point for the next 8 hours in order to perform one of the following functions: 30% chance to cast Armor of Faith 25% chance to cast Chant 20% chance to cast Chaotic Commands 15% chance to cast Death Ward 10% chance to cast Shield of the Archons Weight: 3 |
| 84837 Gauntlets of Aln Zekk |
| 84838 Aln Zekk, as he began calling himself, rose as a tyrant and master amongst the ranks of monks devoted to Ilmater, the Broken God. His view regarding suffering and how it brought the faithful closer to their god was not shared by the other monks of his order. Eventually, they rose up to cast him down. He fled, leaving his gauntlets behind. Zekk has not been seen or heard from since. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – +3 damage when attacking with fists – 15% chance of inflicting 1d10 cold damage with each successful attack Weight: 2 |
| 84839 Pile of Ash |
| 84840 It appears that someone deliberately incinerated all of Alorgoth's personal belongings. This pile of ash is all that remains behind. STATISTICS: Weight: 3 |
| 84841 Alorgoth's Journal |
| 84842 You skim through the leather-bound volume and stumble across an interesting entry: "Our attack was a success. While the dwarves never had a chance of prevailing against our forces, the speed with which their defenses collapsed was pitiful. For the moment, those we've captured are being put to work in the mines. We may need to bring in extra timber. I cannot afford a mine collapse, not when I am so close to my goal. Alorgoth" |
| 84843 Journal of Boldcam Deepstone |
| 84844 The final entry in this journal seems to have been written in haste: "They are here. The front gates have been smashed open. Our defenses were no match for their foul magic. Several managed to escape, but I and my personal guard will remain here, in the clanhold. We will not be taken prisoner." |

| 84858 He'd have fallen already were it not for that meddler, <CHARNAME>â€â€<PRO_HESHE> is proving nearly as great a thorn in our side as Bashir. |
| 84859 Nearly as troublesome as Rasaad? You honor me, madam. |
| 84860 My ears are burning. Is someone in here talking about me? |
| 84861 A thorn in your side is far more desirable than a boot through your skull, assassin. Allow me to demonstrate. |
| 84862 Shar's teeth! |
| 84863 <CHARNAME>! |
| 84864 And they are not alone. |
| 84865 I'm glad you're here, Bashir. You've saved us some trouble. Kill them! |
| 84866 I'm glad you're here. You've saved us some trouble. Kill them! |
| 84867 <CHARNAME>? How did you� It matters not. |
| 84868 And you honor me, my friend. |
| 84869 All I'm sayin' is, it's a gold mine, but I haven't seen a lot of gold, know what I mean? |
| 84870 You'll get your money, Torcadahl. You don't need to be concerned about that. |
| 84871 It's not the money I'm concerned about, Braitenbachâ€â€it's them crystals you've been digging up down there. |
| 84872 How did you find out about the crystals? |
| 84873 That don't matter. What matters is what your master and that she-devil Yxtrazzal have planned. |
| 84874 Alorgoth's plans are no concern of yours, mercenary. |
| 84875 Alorgoth! He's here. |
| 84876 Only the true servants of Shar are permitted into the mines. You just do your job and keep the dwarves from reclaiming their home. |
| 84877 My job is to keep me and mine safe |
| 84878 Your job is to do as Alorgoth commands |
| 84879 Well, maybe I'll just take this up with him, then. |
| 84880 You know full well you're not permitted in the mine. |
| 84881 Aye. That's the issue, y'bloody shadowshagger |

| 84890 Are you talking to me? |
| 84891 Sorry, can't talk now, busy. |
| 84892 This better be important, mercenary. |
| 84893 Yeah, I'm talkin' to you. |
| 84894 I don't recognize you. |
| 84895 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 84896 That falls firmly in the realm of Not My Problem, wouldn't you say? |
| 84897 AND...? |
| 84898 <CHARNAME>, here? |
| 84899 My apologies, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, but I don't recognize your face. |
| 84900 Forgive me, <PRO_LADYLORD>. I just wanted to make sure you were I just wanted to make sure everything was as it should be. Please, proceed. |
| 84901 I'm sorry, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I'm just tryin' to do my job. What's your name? |
| 84902 I am Tottle Randomkettle, a humble servant of Shar. |
| 84903 You don't recognize Alorgoth's personal bodyguard? |
| 84904 I am <CHARNAME>. Are you happy now? |
| 84905 I recognize your name. And no, I'm not happy now. |
| 84906 Nor should you be. |
| 84907 I wouldn't say that, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. Not until I'm sure you are who you say you are. |
| 84908 I am Tottle Randomkettle. A humble servant of Shar, like you. |
| 84909 You don't recognize Alorgoth's personal bodyguard? |
| 84910 I am <CHARNAME>. Does it please you to know this? |
| 84911 Make time. |
| 84912 Oh, I recognize Yxtrazzal, all rightâ€â€she's a hard one to forget. But I don't know you. An' seein' as you just tried to trick me into thinkin' you're someone you aren't, I'm thinkin' your purpose here isn't in line with my employer's. |
| 84913 You die for shadows, mercenary! |
| 84914 Die! |
| 84915 Oh, yes? What is love? |
| 84916 Love is Shar's gift to the worthy. |
| 84917 That is the question, isn't it? The only one worth asking. Better minds than mine have tried to tackle the question. I believe one of them saidâ€â€I'm paraphrasing hereâ€â€"Love is when you care more about someone else's happiness than your own." I believe that accurately sums up my feelings on the matter. What do you think? |
| 84918 Love is the conqueror of all. |
| 84919 Love is a lie. Only hate endures. |
| 84920 It's a waste of my time, much like this discussion. Farewell. |
| 84921 That's interesting. Because in my experienceâ€â€which I feel is considerable at this pointâ€â€there ain't nothin' humble about a follower of the Dark Moon. |
| 84922 Good. Be about your business, Randomkettle. |
| 84923 Hold up there. We're aren't finished yet. |
| 84924 I'm afraid we must be. |
| 84925 Oh, come on! Give a <PRO_BROTHERSISTER> of Shar a break, why don't you? |
| 84926 You're wrong about that. |
| 84927 Intruders! The clanhold is under attack! |
| 84928 Wow. Do you know ANYTHING about Shar? Anything at all? |
| 84929 Truly, <CHARNAME>. Even I know better than to answer such a question thus. |
| 84930 Die, intruder! |
| 84931 Is it now? Let's see how your love stacks up against my sword, then. |
| 84932 Can't do it. |
| 84933 Despite being warned by a ghost not to touch anything in the tomb of Nan Kung Chi for fear of undead reprisal, I touched something. I am not a clever <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |

| 84942 Hexxat, irritated that I'd not joined her in Dragomir's Tomb, has left the party. I imagine she'll return to the Copper Coronet to seek others to assist her. |
| 84943 I've agreed to help Hexxat find the Tomb of Dragomir. Her behavior and manner of speech are strange, but the possible rewards outweigh the risks. The tomb she seeks should be in the southeast part of the Graveyard District. |
| 84944 Dragomir was less than thrilled to see his tomb invaded. I sent him to his final rest. |
| 84945 Dragomir's corpse lies in its final resting place. But something in his tomb still calls out to Hexxat... |
| 84946 An ancient knight named Burich attacked me. As a result, he lost any chance he had to become more ancient. |
| 84947 The ancient knight Burich the Unyielding has grown weary of keeping Dragomir contained in the tomb. He gave me an iron rod and bid me to destroy Dragomir. |
| 84948 Weary of his burden, Burich the Unyielding wants me to kill Dragomir. |
| 84949 Hexxat tells me the iron rod can open Dragomir's chamberâ€â€but it will seal us within the tomb until the vampire is destroyed. |
| 84950 According to Burich, the iron rod he supplied can open Dragomir's chamberâ€â€but will trap us in the tomb until Dragomir is destroyed. |
| 84951 The woman who called herself Hexxat was naught but a puppet of the real thing. A vampire trapped in Dragomir's Tomb, Hexxat used his casque to mentally dominate the false Hexxat and lure us here to free her. The false Hexxat was turned into a <DAYNIGHTALL> meal for the real one. |
| 84952 The woman who called herself Hexxat was naught but a puppet of the real thing. A vampire trapped in Dragomir's Tomb, Hexxat used his casque to mentally dominate the false Hexxat and lure us here to free her. The false Hexxat was turned into a <DAYNIGHTALL> meal for the real one. A resourceful woman with undead powers is a good friend to have, I think. |
| 84953 Hexxat's request The false Hexxat has served her purpose, freeing the real one and giving her enough energy to venture forth from Dragomir's Tomb. The journey of the woman I thought was Hexxat is at an end, but the real one has unfinished business I may be able to help her with. |
| 84954 It seems Hexxat needs Dragomir's cloak, which she believes will protect her in the world above. |
| 84955 Hexxat's request Hexxat requires Dragomir's cloak to walk in the daylight. |
| 84956 Hexxat's request Hexxat requires Dragomir's cloak to walk in the daylight. She'll not get it from me. |
| 84957 Hexxat's request Hexxat requires Dragomir's cloak to walk in the daylight, so I gave it to her. |
| 84958 Hexxat has donned Dragomir's cloak. While it makes her uncomfortable from both a physical and aesthetic standpoint, it will allow her to travel during daylight. |
| 84959 A false dawn trap at the entry to Dragomir's crypt caused Hexxat some severe discomfort. Fortunately, she was wearing Dragomir's Cloak. If she wasn't, I suspect she'd be ashes right now. |
| 84960 A false dawn trap at the entrance to Dragomir's Tomb left Hexxat in dire straits. She would have been less affected if she had Dragomir's Cloak, which I've now given to her. |
| 84961 A false dawn trap at the entrance to Dragomir's Tomb left Hexxat in dire straits. She would have been less affected if she had Dragomir's Cloak, which she demanded I give her. I gave her something else insteadâ€â€now she has nothing to fear from the sun, or indeed anything at all. |
| 84962 Hexxat's purpose Hexxat believes we can be of value to each other. She can help me in my ventures, while I can assist her in assignments for "L," the mysterious employer who sent her into Dragomir's embrace. I declinedâ€â€there's little I've heard of L that inspires confidence in him. Hexxat will remain at the Copper Coronet for the time being. |
| 84963 Hexxat's purpose Hexxat believes we can be of value to each other. She can help me in my ventures, while I can assist her in assignments for "L," the mysterious employer who sent her into Dragomir's embrace. I've tentatively allowed her to join me. We'll see how things go. |
| 84964 Hexxat's request Hexxat is happy to remain with me, at least until she receives a new assignment from her employer, whom she refers to only as L. |
| 84965 For all his many failings, Dragomir was an ingenious tactician. He devised a special bag of holding containing a coffin so that his lieutenants could revive him should he fall in battle. Hexxat has entrusted me with the bag to ensure her survival in our adventures together. |
| 84966 It seems I will be taking a trip to Shou Lung in the near futureâ€â€though not to a part of it any sane person would wish to see. |
| 84967 Hexxat's request L's messenger, Cabrina, has told Hexxat that Dragomir's Casque can be used to tombwalk between houses of the dead. Hexxat is to travel to the crypts of Durkon in Shou Lung and acquire an item called the Claw of the Black Leopard for L. |
| 84968 Dragomir's Casque did what Cabrina claimed. Hexxat and I are in the crypts of Durkon. |
| 84969 Ghostly monks defend the tomb of Nan Kung Chi against invaders, which admittedly is what I am. Luckily, mind flayers had penetrated the tomb from the Underdarkâ€â€the monks needed friends more than additional enemies. Together, we destroyed the flayers, and in exchange the monks have agreed not to interfere with my activities in the crypt. |
| 84970 Ghostly monks defend the tomb of Nan Kung Chi against invaders. At least they did before I arrived. |
| 84971 Hexxat's request The leader of the ghost monks, Keno, will allow me to move freely through the cryptâ€â€if I help him thwart the mind flayers who currently run rampant in the tomb's Crypt of Scholars. |
| 84972 Hexxat's request Hexxat wants me to get into the tomb. It is a foreboding place, but if I am to solve the mystery of what drives her, I must enter. |
| 84973 It seems there is a tomb within a tomb in Dragomir's... Tomb. Whoever designs these things must be mad, drunk, or possibly both. Also urbane, witty, handsome, charming... a real prize. |
| 84974 Hexxat's Coffin |
| 84975 This coffin seems to be magically bound within the Bag of Holding it was found within, and cannot be removed. Inside, the vampire Hexxat sleeps and regenerates. |
| 84976 With the Shroud of the Unproved delivered, Hexxat's obligation to L is at an end. I'd have thought she'd be happy to be done with her mysterious employer, but now I realize that, for all his faults, he was all that remained of the life she once had. She faces an uncertain future now... but she'll not do so alone. |
| 84977 Thank you for your assistance, Fiddich. This will be invaluable. Wait here until I give the signal. |
| 84978 You have my thanks. Go to the kitchen nowâ€â€quietly. You'll find a secret passage out of the clanhold there. |
| 84979 Stay here and don't attract attention to yourself. I'm going to deal with as many Sharrans as I can before the alarm is raised. |
| 84980 And what'll the signal be? |
| 84981 You'll know it when you hear it. |
| 84982 You'd have me turn and run? Y'think I'm a coward, is that it? |
| 84983 I think you've been worked near to death and need a chance to recover. Your people await you outside. Join them. |
| 84984 You're no coward, Fiddich. But right now your people need you more than I do. |
| 84985 I think I'll be more effective on my own. Now do as I bid. |
| 84986 Ye're right. I'm in no shape for fighting, not right now. |
| 84987 Aye, all right. You've got my thanks. Deepstone's in your debt. |
| 84988 Stay away from the Wheel, fool! |
| 84989 Touch the Wheel and die! |
| 84990 Hexxat refuses to equip this weapon. |
| 84991 Fiddich |
| 84992 Taddaus |
| 84993 Phyllidus |
| 84994 So this is how it ends. Do you truly wish for our threads to become untangled? |
| 84995 No, my friend. It's not over for usâ€â€not yet. |
| 84996 Don't say it's an end. Think of it rather as an intermission. I'll send you back to the pocket plane. Wait for me there. |
| 84997 I do. Wait for me here, and I shall return. |
| 84998 Ho there! Is there any way I can assist you, my friend? |
| 84999 Let's find out. |
| 85000 None that I can think of. |
| 85001 <CHARNAME>! It is so good to see a friendly face again, though I can scarcely believe it. What is this place? |
| 85002 After we parted ways, I continued hunting Alorgoth, but the Sharran scum always manages to slip through my fingers. |
| 85003 Not well, <CHARNAME>. As you know, after Alorgoth was revealed as the man behind the Twofold Trust, I joined the order, hoping to lead its followers to Selûne's light. To pay Alorgoth back for the lives lost at the Twofold temple, I led an assault on a house of Shar. |
| 85004 After the fall of the Twofold temple, I returned to Athkatla, seeking to redeem myself in the eyes of the Sun Soul order. Unfortunately, I was unable to convince them I had no part in the Sun Soul temple massacre and was forced to flee. |
| 85005 I heard he had been sighted in Tethyr and was seeking him there when you reached out to me. |
| 85006 What would you have me do now? |
| 85007 It's been too long, Rasaad. How have you been? |
| 85008 My heart soars to see you too, Rasaad. But there are matters that I must attend toâ€â€alone. |
| 85009 Join me. |
| 85010 Remain here. I shall attend to you soon. |
| 85011 I encountered a Sun Soul monk, Rasaad, today. Perhaps I should say former Sun Soul monk, considering the state of his relationship with his fellow Selûne worshippers. Last I saw him, he was beating a handful of them down (though he was very careful not to kill them). The last thing I need is trouble from the Sun Soul, so I sent Rasaad on his way. |
| 85012 I have reunited with an old friend: the Sun Soul monk Rasaad yn Bashir. Though it would be more accurate to say he is a former Sun Soul monk. Certainly that is the Sun Soul order's perspective upon him. Though this may be inviting trouble from the Sun Soul, I know from past experience that Rasaad is a valuable ally. It is good to see him again. |
| 85013 I crossed paths with an old friend today: Rasaad yn Bashir. The (now renegade) Sun Soul monk awaits me at Trademeet, should I wish to join forces with him once again. |
| 85014 We were approached this <DAYNIGHTALL> by a cloaked woman who claimed to have information for Rasaad. Before we could learn what it was, hostilities erupted. Hopefully, her belongings hold a clue to her intent. |
| 85015 A cloaked woman approached us this <DAYNIGHTALL>, claiming to have information for Rasaad. |
| 85016 Rasaad's journey Rasaad's split with the Sun Soul order has apparently attracted notice. Dark Moon heretics court him for their new cult. They meet in an abandoned amphitheater outside the city. I should go there soon and see what this new order offers. |
| 85017 Apparently, the Dark Moon heretics call their deity the Twofold Goddess. One of their number will describe their philosophy at the amphitheater this evening. |
| 85018 A monk named Kelner related some of the Twofold worshippers' core beliefs to me. Their argument seems to be that Shar and Selûne are fictitious constructs describing the same goddess. The high priests of Shar and Selûne found it convenient to keep the goddess's aspects separate for their own purposes. It's an intriguing notion, I must admit. |
| 85019 The heretics are led by a former Dark Moon monk named Collus Darathon. According to a monk named Fenuku, Darathon worked in the Dark Moon's library and discovered evidence of the Twofold's existence there. This supposed proof of the Twofold's existence is the foundation on which the new cult seems to be built. |
| 85020 The local Twofold followers are led by Hammerhelmâ€â€a former Sun Soul monk of Rasaad's acquaintance. He made a convincing argument for his new goddessâ€â€and had a particular interest in recruiting Rasaad to the new cult. Rasaad has his own reasons for wanting to join the Twofold, and they've nothing to do with faith. |
| 85021 The local heretics are led by a former Sun Soul monk named Hammerhelm. He was apparently the one behind Rasaad's invitation here this evening. Given the way things turned out, I suspect he regrets it. |
| 85022 Rasaad was shocked to learn that Athkatla's Twofold followers are led by an old friend, the former Sun Soul monk Hammerhelm. He argued passionately in favor of Rasaad joining the Twofold Trust. I fear seeing another trusted Sun Soul member turn against the order has further shaken Rasaad's faith. |
| 85023 Athkatla's Twofold believers are led by a former Sun Soul monk, a man named Hammerhelm. He is a passionate advocate for his new faith. If all the Twofold's followers have his conviction, their order may become a force to be reckoned with. |
| 85024 This note, taken from Hammerhelm of the Twofold Faith, indicates the location of a hidden temple in northern Amn. |
| 85025 Rasaad's journey Hammerhelm has told Rasaad where he can find Collus Darathon. We journey to the Twofold's secret temple soon. |
| 85026 After violence erupted at the amphitheater, I fear Rasaad's quest to find Collus Darathon is at an end. |
| 85027 I suspect interest in the Twofold Heresy will ebb dramatically when word of this <DAYNIGHTALL>'s bloodshed at the amphitheater gets out. |
| 85028 This worn, dog-eared pamphlet has obviously been read many, many times. Though quite soiled, the cover is still legible: "Cutthroats: A Gentleman's Guide to Hold-ups and Robberies." STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 85029 Rasaad's former Sun Soul brethren caught up with him today. He was horrified to learn he is blamed for a slaughter in the Sun Soul temple in Athkatla. He had nothing to do with it, of course, but the "Tears of Selûne" could not be convinced. They'll not threaten us again, at least not with physical harm. But Rasaad must now carry the weight of their deaths, as he does his brother's. |
| 85030 Rasaad's former fellows in the Sun Soul order caught up with him this day. It appears he is blamed for a massacre in the Sun Soul temple in Athkatla. Obviously, he had nothing to do with the slaughter, but some of the so-called "Tears of Selûne" would not listen to reason. Rasaad must now carry the weight of their deaths, as well as that of Gamaz. |
| 85031 Rasaad's former Sun Soul brethren finally caught up with him this day. The "Tears of Selûne" bore ill tidingsâ€â€Rasaad is blamed for a massacre at the Sun Soul temple in Athkatla. Fortunately, we were able to reason with the Tears, and bloodshed was avoided. I do not know if Rasaad could have borne losing even more of the people he cares for. |
| 85032 We have reached the Twofold Trust's stronghold. Rasaad believes his vengeance is at hand. I am not so sure. |
| 85033 After many days' travel, I have finally reached the Twofold Trust's stronghold. |
| 85034 Rasaad's journey I have brought Rasaad to the Twofold Heretics' temple. To thwart this new cult, he will need to expose its founder, Collus Darathon. |
| 85035 <CHARNAME>! You must use the Wheel of Obliteration! Open the portal! |
| 85036 Near the Twofold Temple, I encountered a monk who attempted to join Collus Darathon's Trust. Though she failed and paid a heavy price in doing so, she remains committed to the Twofold's Heresy. |
| 85037 I encountered a monk who attempted to join Collus Darathon's Twofold Trust fleeing from the heretics' temple. Her faith in the Twofold was strong. It did not save her from my wrath. |
| 85038 His magic makes him invincible here! You must open the portal to escape! |
| 85039 A bridge takes those who would join the Trust over a deep crevasse. The Twofold's stronghold looms large before me. |
| 85040 I have been allowed into the Twofold's temple. Now we shall see what this cult is really about. |
| 85041 I have been denied access to the temple. If Rasaad is to complete his quest, we will need to find another way in. |
| 85042 I have been denied access to the temple. There must be another way in... |
| 85043 This ornate key is likely used to open the temple belonging to followers of the Twofold faith. |
| 85044 After the door's guard suffered an acute case of sudden death, I've acquired a key that will grant me access to the Twofold's temple. |
| 85045 The trials endured by the Twofold's followers are extreme. I just saw a dozen monks bound spread-eagled on the ground. I left them to their fate. |
| 85046 The trials endured by the Twofold's followers are extreme. I just saw a dozen monks bound spread-eagled on the ground. I released one, but the others weren't interested in freedom. |
| 85047 The trials endured by the Twofold's followers are extreme. I just saw a dozen monks bound spread-eagled on the ground. I released them, but they weren't as happy about it as I might have thought. |
| 85048 The Twofold philosophy's practices seem more in tune with Shar worship than Selûne. I just witnessed some former Sun Soul monks hesitant to fight animals driven to do so by their new brethren. It would seem cruelty is no sin for those of the Trust. |
| 85049 Near the Twofold's temple, a bear named Wilson is held caged by a trapper named Jolstead. I can honestly say Wilson is the most eloquent bear I've ever encountered. |
| 85050 Near the Twofold's temple, a bear named Wilson is held caged by a trapper named Jolstead. I can honestly say Wilson is the most eloquent bear I've ever encountered. I promised I would see him freed. |
| 85051 I freed Wilson the bear. I'll admit I'm a little disappointed he immediately ran away, but I hope he finds happiness wherever he ends up. |
| 85052 A curious individual lurks in the grass to the east of the temple. I do not know what his purpose there is. |
| 85053 I encountered a curious individual lurking in the grass to the stronghold's east. After some verbal jousting, I got him to admit to being a spy for the Dark Moon order. This can herald nothing good for the heretics. |
| 85054 To the temple's east, I encountered a spy for the Order of the Dark Moon lurking in the grass. He's still there, though he'll be of no use to his masters in his current condition. |
| 85055 I've successfully penetrated the Twofold's temple. The condition of the rope I used to do so makes me think I'll need another way out. |
| 85056 Rasaad's journey We are within the stronghold of the Twofold Trust. It seems we must prove our worth to the heretics' goddess before we'll have an opportunity to confront Collus Darathon. |
| 85057 Rasaad and I finally met Collus Darathon face to face. We convinced him we were interested in the Twofold Truth, which I'm reasonably sure saved our lives. Rasaad doesn't seem as pleased about this as I am. |
| 85058 Rasaad's journey To join the Twofold Trust, there are a series of trials we must endure. |
| 85059 I met Collus Darathon face to face and convinced him I wanted to join his Twofold Trust. |
| 85060 Another member of the Sun Soul order has turned to the Twofold Trust. The Master of Combat was one of Rasaad's teachers once. Now he follows the Twofold. Rasaad's faith in his former order weakens with every new defection he encounters. |
| 85061 Yet another of Rasaad's former Sun Soul brethren has turned to the Twofold for comfort. This time it's one his old teachers, the Master of Combatâ€â€and it was Rasaad's own actions that inspired him to leave Selûne's grace. Rasaad's faith in his former order dwindles with each new turncoat he meets. |
| 85062 Somehow, the Sharrans have located the Twofold's temple. I have agreed to join the Trust in defending their stronghold against the coming assault. |
| 85063 Somehow, the Sharrans have located the Twofold's temple. I suspect the Trust is not much longer for this world. |
| 85064 Somehow, the Sharrans have located the Twofold's temple. I've encouraged Rasaad to join the Trust in defending their stronghold. |
| 85065 Somehow, the Sharrans have located the Twofold's temple. Rasaad naturally wants to join his former colleagues in defending themselves against the Order of the Dark Moon. I believe I've convinced him watching and waiting is the smarter move. |
| 85066 Rasaad's journey The forces of the Dark Moon march on the Twofold's temple. To survive the coming onslaught, I must fight alongside the Twofold Trust. |
| 85067 Rasaad's journey The forces of the Dark Moon march on the Twofold's temple. To survive the coming onslaught, I must fight with Rasaad alongside the Twofold Trust. |
| 85068 Rasaad's journey The forces of the Dark Moon march on the Twofold's temple. If I move quickly, I may be able to escape before the Sharrans arrive. |
| 85069 Rasaad's journey The forces of the Dark Moon march on the Twofold's temple. If I move very quickly, I can strangle the Trust in its cradle and escape before the Sharrans arrive. |
| 85070 I have endured the ordeal of the Room of Pain. The Twofold Trust's strength lies in more than just faith. |
| 85071 I could not endure the ordeal of the Room of Pain. I may return at a later date if I wish to take the test again. |
| 85072 I have successfully completed the test of the Blinding Sun. |
| 85073 Rasaad has successfully passed the test of the Bright Moon, and has been rewarded for it. |
| 85074 Rasaad has failed the test of the Bright Moon. He is dead, his vengeance against Alorgoth denied him forever. |
| 85075 Rasaad passed the test of the Bright Moon, but that doesn't seem to have endeared him to the Twofold. |
| 85076 I have successfully passed the test of the Bright Moon. |
| 85077 I passed the test of the Bright Moon, but that doesn't seem to have endeared me to the Twofold. |
| 85078 I failed the test of the Bright Moon, but am still alive. All things considered, I count that a win. |
| 85079 Rasaad met the confessor in the Room of Penance. He is one step closer to joining the Trustâ€â€one step closer to Collus Darathon. |
| 85080 Rasaad faced the confessor in the Room of Penance. Naturally, he confessed to the most incendiary thing possible, with predictable results. |
| 85081 Rasaad met with the confessor in the Room of Penance. Though he confessed to the most incendiary sin imaginable, I managed to get him out the door alive. Now he's assigned to assault another monk. I'm not sure I like the way the Twofold operates. |
| 85082 I met the confessor in the Room of Penance and am now one step closer to joining the Trustâ€â€one step closer to Collus Darathon. |
| 85083 I faced the confessor in the Room of Penance. I doubt he was pleased with the results, but it could have gone much worse for me. |
| 85084 I met with the confessor in the Room of Penance. He sought to shame me. In the end, he was the one who paid. |
| 85085 Against all odds, it turns out that Rasaad was correct. Collus Darathon was a mask worn by Alorgoth; the Twofold was a ruse from beginning to end. |
| 85086 Rasaad's journey Rasaad was right. Collus Darathon is Alorgoth, and he has set his Sharran followers against the heretic cult of his own making. If he has his way, Dark Moon traitors and former Selûnites will both fall in the coming attackâ€â€and we will fall with them. |
| 85087 For some reason, Collus Darathon has turned away from the Twofold. I cannot help but feel I've missed something important here. |
| 85088 Once again, Alorgoth has escaped justice. Rasaad is bereft. He cannot return to the Sun Soul order, but neither then does he feel he has a place with the remnants of the Trust. All he has left is a cause, and he may well have just lost his final opportunity to achieve his goals. |
| 85089 Alorgoth escaped Rasaad's vengeance, but all is not lost. Though the Twofold Trust was founded in lies, I've convinced him its followers can be redeemed and led back to the Moonmaiden's light. Many believe he is the man to do it. I count myself among them. |
| 85090 Alorgoth may have escaped Rasaad's vengeance, but all is not lost. Though the Twofold Trust was founded in lies, the Master of Combat persuaded Rasaad of its worth. Many believe Rasaad can redeem the Trust by leading it back to Selûne's light. I count myself among them. |
| 85091 Rasaad's journey Though Alorgoth yet lives, Rasaad has found a new purpose. He defeated his former teacher, the Master of Combat, in battle and seized control of the Twofold Trust. He will shepherd these monks towards Selûne's light, giving them a new, worthy direction. |
| 85092 Rasaad's journey Though Alorgoth yet lives, Rasaad has found a new purpose as leader of the Twofold Trust. He will shepherd the surviving Twofold worshippers towards Selûne's light, giving them a new, worthy direction. |
| 85093 Rasaad's journey Though Alorgoth yet lives, Rasaad has found a new purpose as a member of the Twofold Trust, which will now work in service to the will of the Moonmaiden, independent of the Selûnite sect of the Sun Soul order. |
| 85094 Wilson has returned, and moreâ€â€it seems that after his imprisonment, he feels more comfortable with me than he does alone in the wild. If we are ever separated, I feel sure he will return to the place we met and await me there. |
| 85095 Wilson the bear has returned! After his imprisonment, he feels more comfortable with me than he does alone in the wild. I would like to take him with me, but it would be a selfish thing to do. He is safer where he is now. |
| 85096 Your time has run out. The cavern begins to fully collapse, and you are engulfed by crushing stone. |

| 85102 The Sharrans have their dwarven prisoners penned up like animals. I don't have the time to stop and help them now, and in any case, nothing will help them more than finding and eliminating Alorgoth. |

| 85107 The <PRO_RACE> is right. Keno gave his word. We must honor it. |
| 85108 What? But |
| 85109 Be silent! Go, <PRO_RACE>. We will not stop you. |
| 85110 I can worry about more than one thing at a time. |
| 85111 I'm sure. Are you all right? |
| 85112 Let me rephrase that: You will never have to worry about your looks. |
| 85113 Then worry about two things of consequence. |
| 85114 A flattering tongue will get you everywhere, <CHARNAME>. Now. There's business I must attend to. Meet me at the Coronet in two hours. |
| 85115 Is that a good idea? Perhaps you should stick with me for the time being. |
| 85116 That's it? You get the cloak and you leave? |
| 85117 Hexxat's request I assisted the ghostly monks tasked with guarding the Shou Lung tomb with clearing a mind flayer infestation out of their Crypt of Scholars. Even with my help, the monks were destroyed. |
| 85118 You're right, <CHARNAME>. I've business to attend to. Meet me back at the Copper Coronet in two hours. |
| 85119 Hexxat's request I assisted the ghostly monks tasked with guarding the Shou Lung tomb with clearing a mind flayer infestation out of their Crypt of Scholars. Their leader had promised me access to the rest of the tomb in exchange for my help, but when he was destroyed, his subordinates were... less than graceful when it came to fulfilling his part of the bargain. Fortunately, they ultimately bowed to the wishes of their lost commander. |
| 85120 Hexxat's request With the mind flayers eliminated, I am now able to travel freely through Nan Kung Chi's tomb. For Hexxat to be able to open a necrotic portal for us back to Amn, we must first acquire the scepter known as the Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 85121 Hexxat's request I assisted the ghostly monks tasked with guarding the Shou Lung tomb with clearing a mind flayer infestation out of their Crypt of Scholars. Their leader, Keno, had promised me access to the rest of the tomb in exchange for my help. He was as good as his word. |
| 85122 Hexxat's request With the mind flayers and ghost monks eliminated, I am now able to travel freely through Nan Kung Chi's tomb. For Hexxat to be able to open a necrotic portal for us back to Amn, we must first acquire the scepter known as the Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 85123 I am concerned, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85124 Concerned, Rasaad? About what? |
| 85125 All things considered, I can't say I blame you. |
| 85126 Would that this surprised me. |
| 85127 The direction you are headed is fraught with dangerâ€â€not just physically, but morally. |
| 85128 I know you're right. I'll do what I can to steer myself in a less... unsavory direction. |
| 85129 I'm primarily concerned about the physical. |
| 85130 You are troubled by the morality of my actions? |
| 85131 I know it, and that is why I wish to caution you. I cannot countenance some of the things I have witnessed in your company. |
| 85132 You are a moral anchor in these troubled times, my friend. I will do what I can to make things more comfortable for you going forward. |
| 85133 You're not the only one having difficulty, Rasaad. I'll do what I can to ensure things get better going forward. |
| 85134 If you've a problem with it, perhaps it would be best if you left my company. |
| 85135 If that is your wish, I shall abide by it. Fare thee well, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85136 I cannot countenance some of the things I have witnessed in your company. |
| 85137 I am truly sorry to hear that. I can make no promises, but I will see what I can do to ensure your comfort going forwardâ€â€if not with events themselves, at least with my response to them. |
| 85138 Things have been pretty grim of late. I cannot promise they'll get better, but I will do what I can to improve things. |
| 85139 If you've a problem with it, perhaps it would be best if you left my company. |
| 85140 I can ask for no more. Thank you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85141 The path you're on of late worries me. |
| 85142 I must have words with you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85143 Of course, Rasaad. What can I do for you? |
| 85144 Must you? Really? |
| 85145 Sounds serious. |
| 85146 You can alter course, drastically and immediately. |
| 85147 What are you suggesting? |
| 85148 Why would I want to do that? |
| 85149 I shan't be doing that. |
| 85150 The path I walk is more than dark enough as it is. Bloodshed and chaos seem unavoidable in your company. |
| 85151 It has been a rough several years. I wish I could promise you things would change, but... |
| 85152 Really? You think I'M the one attracting chaos and bloodshed? |
| 85153 I'm hardly the only one whose wake is littered with carnage and destruction, Rasaad. |
| 85154 Nevertheless, <CHARNAME>, this is where we must part ways. |
| 85155 If that is your wish. Farewell, Rasaad yn Bashir. |
| 85156 I am sorry to hear it... and now I'm over it. Have a good life, Rasaad. |
| 85157 Go then. I've no use for mewling babes who cry at the first sight of blood. |
| 85158 I fear you've left me with little choice. |
| 85159 I feared as much. This is where we must part ways. |
| 85160 If that is your wish. Farewell, Rasaad yn Bashir. |
| 85161 I am sorry to hear it... and now I'm over it. Have a good life, Rasaad. |
| 85162 Go then. I've no use for mewling babes who cry at the first sight of blood. |
| 85163 I fear so. Fare thee well, <CHARNAME>. |

| 85166 Hexxat seemed shaken by some of the writing inscribed on the wall of the Crypt of Scholars. One of the stories reminded her of her motherâ€â€and all the things she lost during the centuries she was trapped in Dragomir's Tomb. Hexxat's always struck me as cold, literally as well as figuratively... but there are hidden depths beneath that placid surface. |
| 85167 I defeated the ghosts of six lieutenants that served Nan Kung Chi in life. Ki Chin Sang should give me the key I need to access his master's burial chamber. |
| 85168 After what I did to the six guardians, Ki Chin Sang's attitude towards me has changed dramatically. He was only too happy to provide the key to the chamber holding the Claw of the Black Leopard. |
| 85169 Hexxat's request One way or the other, I must acquire the key to Nan Kung Chi's burial chamber. Otherwise, the Claw of the Black Leopard will remain ever out of reach. |
| 85170 After defeating Nan Kung Chi and his mummies, Hexxat and I took a moment to talk about her past. Against my better judgment, I find myself drawn to her. |
| 85171 After using her skills to obtain the Claw of the Black Leopard, Hexxat and I took a moment to talk about her past. Hers was not an easy life... but then, whose was? |
| 85172 Hexxat's request Now that we've acquired the Claw of the Black Leopard, Hexxat is anxious to return to Amn and rendezvous with her contact, Cabrina. |
| 85173 Hexxat's received another assignment from Lâ€â€to retrieve an item called the Shroud of the Unproved from a tomb in Zakhara. I've no problem with that, which is more than I can say with Cabrina herself. Her interactions with Hexxat are... not entirely of a professional nature. |
| 85174 Hexxat's received another assignment from Lâ€â€to retrieve an item called the Shroud of the Unproved from a tomb in Zakhara. |
| 85175 Hexxat's request Hexxat wants me to accompany her to the Tomb of the Unproved in distant Zakhara. We must acquire the Shroud of the Unproved, then use Dragomir's Casque to return to Amn. |
| 85176 The spirits of the wise women who prophesied the birth of the Prophet Unproved were sentenced to stand guard over his tomb. The caliph they served must have been very upset by the prophet's loss. |
| 85177 The spirits of the wise women who prophesied the birth of the Prophet Unproved were sentenced to stand guard over his tomb. And so they did, until they encountered me. |
| 85178 The Tomb of the Unproved contains a great library that is watched over by three magicians whose lives have been extended beyond their natural span. I suspect Iqbal, Ra'id, and Hafiz are quite mad; they certainly don't seem to like each other. |
| 85179 Tale of the Prophet Unproved |
| 85180 Tale of the Prophet Unproved Centuries ago in the Zakharan desert, four hakimaâ€â€Rabi'ah, Aminah, Bilqis, and Sukaynaâ€â€predicted the birth of a great prophet who would lead Halwa into a golden age of prosperity and enlightenment. The mother of this auspicious child was to be a woman named Badiatâ€â€who did not even know she was pregnant until her husband, Muharr, was slain fighting bandits at the caliph's behest. The hakima invited Badiat to live under the caliph's protection. She quickly impressed the caliph with her weaving, creating beautiful abas and catans. He added her to his harem and commanded his merchants to bring her the finest silks from every corner of the peninsula. The caliph's first wife, Raffiyah, previously in charge of all weaving for the caliph's household, grew jealous of Badiat. Finding an ally in the fourth hakim, a wicked woman, she conspired to poison Badiat. The conspirators slew both mother and child, leaving the unborn baby "a prophet unproved." Too late, the three virtuous hakima discovered the crime and revealed it to the caliph. Enraged, he ordered all four hakima buried along with Badiat and her unborn child, as punishment for their failure to not just him, but all of Halwa. |
| 85181 With my help, the sha'ir Iqbal defeated his fellow sorcerers. He has allowed me to continue on into the Unproved's crypt. |
| 85182 With my help, the sha'ir Iqbal Ra'id defeated his fellow sorcerers. Had he expressed more gratitude, I might not have had to kill him. |
| 85183 With my help, the sha'ir Qais Ra'id defeated his fellow sorcerers. He granted me a boon, though I sincerely wish he hadn't. |
| 85184 With my help, the sha'ir Qais Ra'id defeated his fellow sorcerers. I managed to talk him into letting me explore the tomb. |
| 85185 The sha'ir Qais Ra'id defeated his fellow sorcerers. With my help, for all the good that did. He was unwilling to let me have the Shroud of the Unproved. I suspect he'd be having second thoughts now, were he capable of thinking at all. |
| 85186 The sha'ir Diya al-Hafiz defeated his fellow sorcerers with my assistance. I regret helping him now, though I've no regrets over how things have turned out. |
| 85187 A stoneface guardian blocks my progress. It seems I'll not be permitted to go forward until I am well acquainted with the Unproved's history. |
| 85188 With great force, you were pulled into the stone face, then violently bounced through a series of tunnels before being deposited here. |
| 85189 Raffiyah, killer of the Unproved and his mother Badiat, has been transformed into a giant spider who stands guard over her victim. Killing her was a mercy, I think. |
| 85190 Raffiyah, killer of the Unproved and his mother Badiat, has been transformed into a giant spider who stands guard over her victim. Hideous though she appeared, her heart was that of an insecure woman. After complimenting her on her weaving, I convinced her to make a new shroud for the Unproved Prophet, which made it easy enough for me to get the old one. |
| 85191 Shroud of the Unproved |
| 85192 Though named the Shroud of the Prophet Unproved, this cloth may better be described as the burial shroud of the unborn prophet's mother. It is believed to have significant magical properties. Unfortunately, you cannot determine what they are. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 85193 Acquiring the Unproved Prophet's shroud should end Hexxat's obligation to her employer, L. I will accompany her to meet with Cabrina, to ensure this business is well and truly done. |
| 85194 Acquiring the Unproved Prophet's shroud should end Hexxat's obligation to her employer, L. She has gone to meet with Cabrina and will rejoin me presently. |
| 85195 With the Shroud of the Unproved delivered, Hexxat's obligation to L is at an end. I'd have thought she'd be happy to be done with her mysterious employer... but now I see that, for all his faults, he was all that remained of the life she once had. She faces an uncertain future nowâ€â€but she'll not do so alone. |
| 85196 Hello there, Hexxat, my darling. |
| 85197 Cabrina. What are you doing here? |
| 85198 You again? I thought we were finished with you. |
| 85199 Whatever L wants from Hexxat, he can forget it. She's done with him. Begone. |
| 85200 I didn't think you were here for the pleasure of my company. |
| 85201 I bring word from L. |
| 85202 You know less about our friend Hexxat than you think, <CHARNAME>. It was she who contacted him. |
| 85203 Hexxat, is this true? |
| 85204 You lie. Hexxat would never do that. Tell her, Hexxat. |
| 85205 Don't be so quick to dismiss the possibility. That idea is not without appeal. |
| 85206 For you, perhaps. Hexxat is choosy about the company she keeps. |
| 85207 Skip the flirting and get to the point. |
| 85208 I'll not dismiss any possibility. I will, however, dismiss you. |
| 85209 Not that choosy, I think. She tolerates you, after all. |
| 85210 Sheathe your claws, Cabrina. What does L have to say for himself? |
| 85211 You have no idea whoâ€â€or whatâ€â€you're dealing with here, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85212 But I do. What does L have to say for himself? |
| 85213 If you insist. |
| 85214 You said you brought word from L. |
| 85215 I must hear what Cabrina has to say, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85216 You don't, Hexxat. Whatever debt you owed L was paid when you died in Dragomir's Tomb. And if it didn't, it was surely paid in full in Shou Lung and the Tomb of The Unproved. |
| 85217 Fine. If you must. |
| 85218 I don't. |
| 85219 Don't make me choose between you and L. |
| 85220 Someday, you'll have to make that choice, Hexxat. |
| 85221 I won't, but only because I fear I know the choice you'd make. Cabrina, what would L have us do now? |
| 85222 I'll choose for you. Farewell. |
| 85223 Perhaps we'll meet again, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85224 There's more going on here than you know. |
| 85225 I'll burn that bridge another time. Cabrinaâ€â€did L agree to my terms? |
| 85226 I think your friend is jealous of our... special relationship, Hexxat. |
| 85227 Jealous? You misunderstand the nature of my and Hexxat's relationship, Cabrina. |
| 85228 Yes. And Hexxat's jealous of my special relationship with the steak I ate for dinner. |
| 85229 Jealous, no. Merely professionalâ€â€something L doesn't require of his messengers. |
| 85230 You impugn my professional honor. I'd have your head if I cared one whit for your opinion. |
| 85231 If you're smart, you'll care about mine. What does L want now? |
| 85232 I do indeed. |
| 85233 He received your message... and is willing to forgive its tone if you do him this final favor. |
| 85234 Message? What message is this? |
| 85235 Whatever he wants, this is the last one, right? For real this time, no sudden "I have altered the deal" changes after the fact? |
| 85236 And if she won't do this final favor? |
| 85237 She didn't tell you? Now that is interesting... |
| 85238 Did L agree to my terms? |
| 85239 You asked a lot, but so does he. He will give you what you wantâ€â€if you do the same for him. |
| 85240 What does he want stolen now? |
| 85241 This assignment is more in the nature of a delivery. Observe, the former Casque of Dragomir. L has... modified... the magic surrounding this item. |
| 85242 That looks familiar. |
| 85243 Hey, didn't we take pieces of that from three different crypts? |
| 85244 A delivery? I thought that was your job. |
| 85245 It shouldâ€â€you helped acquire its various components, after all. |
| 85246 The Casque of Dragomir, the Shroud of the Unproved, the Claw of the Black Leopard, combined. |
| 85247 Into an item of supreme power. One that can tame even the most ferocious and rebellious of creatures, or so I'm told. Perhaps you'd like to try it on, Hexxat? |
| 85248 What would L have us do with it? |
| 85249 How could you suggest that, knowing what she endured in Dragomir's Tomb? |
| 85250 That's it. Die, cow! |
| 85251 Perhaps she developed a taste for bondage while there. Stranger things have happened. |
| 85252 Where does the item need to go? |
| 85253 You'll note that's not a denial, <CHARNAME>. As to where it must go... |
| 85254 After you, you mangy cur! |
| 85255 L has professional relationships with a wide variety of... people. Rogues, scoundrels, thieves... vampires... |
| 85256 And...? |
| 85257 I don't know if I really want to hear more of that list... |
| 85258 Liches. |
| 85259 A good guess, Hexxatâ€â€a remarkably good guess. Yes, L does count liches among those who serve himâ€â€though he counts one less than usual of late. |
| 85260 L wants this lich dealt with. |
| 85261 That's a shame. Truly. |
| 85262 So we slay this lich, and Hexxat is free from L's service? |
| 85263 He would see this item placed upon the lich's brow. |
| 85264 And in exchange, he'll give me what I want? |
| 85265 It's within his power. |
| 85266 What have you asked for, Hexxat? |
| 85267 That doesn't answer the question. |
| 85268 That's what I'd like to knowâ€â€that and how you got a message to him without going through me. I thought we had an understanding. |
| 85269 Some messages are best delivered directly. Give me the Casque. |
| 85270 Take it, then. The item is attuned to the lich alreadyâ€â€it will let you tombwalk to the creature's lair. Farewell. You've undercut my relationship with L, but I can't bring myself to be angry with you. |
| 85271 I'm as close to L as anyone can be, but I do not know his whims. If you've a problem with his treatment of Hexxat in the past, I suggest you take it up with him. |
| 85272 All right, where can I find him? |
| 85273 Seriously? |
| 85274 Gladly. When does his schedule have an opening? |
| 85275 I'll handle L my own way, <CHARNAME>. Cabrina, tell me about this new job. |
| 85276 You'll need this. |
| 85277 She will. First, last, and always, Hexxat is a professional. She'll do anything if the price is right. Isn't that so, Hexxat? |
| 85278 Has L agreed to the price? |
| 85279 He says that it is within his power. |
| 85280 And in exchange, he wants... what? |
| 85281 Only when the delivery's not dangerous. |
| 85282 So where are we to take this item? |
| 85283 Slay it? No. Korkorran is still of value. |
| 85284 Give me the item. I've work to do. |
| 85285 The helm is attuned to the lichâ€â€it will let you tombwalk to the creature's lair. Farewell, Hexxat. |
| 85286 No, of course not. You don't really believe he'd care what you think, do you? |
| 85287 You have no idea what you cost me, <CHARNAME>. It's cost you a valuable friend and ally. |
| 85288 It's cost you more than you could imagine. |
| 85289 Hexxat has made a deal with L that will see her perform one final task for himâ€â€hunting a lich down in its lair and destroying it. Hexxat refuses to tell me what she gets out of it, which I find... unsettling. |
| 85290 L has combined the Casque of Dragomir, the Claw of the Black Leopard, and the Shroud of the Unproved into the Casque of Entrapment, an item of unimaginable power. He intends that we use it to subdue a rebellious lich. |
| 85291 Gem of Seeing |
| 85292 This finely cut and polished stone is indistinguishable from an ordinary jewel in appearance, although a Detect Magic will reveal its enchantment. When gazed through, the gem of seeing enables the user to detect all hidden, illusionary, invisible, astral, ethereal, or out-of-phase things within viewing range, as though <PRO_HESHE> were affected by a True Seeing spell.

| 85293 Scrap of Paper |
| 85294 There is a small slot within the wall that a cylinder of some sort could fit into. |
| 85295 You push the iron rod into the opening, and it is swallowed entirely. Shortly afterwards, a distant click can be heard: You have been sealed in, but somehow you know a way forward has opened. |
| 85296 A ticking sound begins to emanate from beyond the door. |
| 85297 As you enter the room, a trap triggers a spell and various items throughout the room are reduced to ash. |
| 85298 The ticking ceases, and all is silent. |
| 85299 As you near this door, you hear faint cries of pain and agony from the other side. |
| 85300 You should know that this new version of Dragomir's Casque is much improved over the previous one, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85301 How so? |
| 85302 Can you wear it without being paralyzed for decades? |
| 85303 You are anxious to use it? |
| 85304 It's not a huge improvement, is it? |
| 85305 Can we use it to escape the tomb? |
| 85306 Understood. |
| 85307 This improvement would seem to serve your employer's purposes more than ours. |
| 85308 I see. You understand why I'm less than thrilled by these so-called improvements, right? |
| 85309 You call that an improvement? |
| 85310 That is handy. |
| 85311 Can we use it within the tomb? If things get ugly, use it to retreat back to the surface? |
| 85312 Let's not waste any time, then. |
| 85313 No. I can, however, tombwalk to L's rebellious lich's tomb at any time. We no longer need visit a graveyard. |
| 85314 Not until the lich has been subdued. |
| 85315 I'll take what I can get. |
| 85316 It'll save us some time, and time is precious, <CHARNAME>. Believe me. |
| 85317 I can open a necrotic portal to L's rebellious lich's tomb at any time. We no longer need visit a graveyard. |
| 85318 I would complete this final assignment for L sooner than later. |
| 85319 Let me know when you are ready to face the lich. I would see this assignment for L finished sooner than later. |
| 85320 Are you ready for me to use the Casque of Entrapment, <CHARNAME>? |
| 85321 Yes, we should move to confront this lich. |
| 85322 No, I need more time to prepare. |
| 85323 One more journey into darkness and death. |
| 85324 The last one. |
| 85325 You make it sound so appealing. |
| 85326 I'm not ready to take it. Not yet. |
| 85327 I hope you're right. |
| 85328 Then let's do this thing. |
| 85329 I'm not convinced. |
| 85330 Lengthy and content. |
| 85331 Boring. |
| 85332 A long and drawn-out death. We're better than that. Let's go see this lich. |
| 85333 You could know me better still. |
| 85334 You don't know me as well as you think. |
| 85335 You know nothing about me, Hexxat. |
| 85336 I'm more enthusiastic about this venture by the second. Shall we? |
| 85337 Is that true, or are you just telling me what I want to hear? |
| 85338 I'll hold you to that, Hexxat. Let's go. |
| 85339 Let's do this, then. |
| 85340 Is that true, or are you just telling me what I want to hear? |
| 85341 I hope you're telling it true, Hexxat. I really do. All right, I'm ready. Let's go finish a lich. |
| 85342 I am. |
| 85343 No. I'm afraid this is where our paths diverge. Farewell, Hexxat. |
| 85344 I cannot say I'm enthusiastic about it, but yes. I'm with you. |
| 85345 Soon. |
| 85346 I don't know. |
| 85347 When I'm ready. |
| 85348 Absolutely. |
| 85349 All right. |
| 85350 I cannot. |
| 85351 I'd like to believe you. |
| 85352 That's regrettableâ€â€or it would be, if I believed you. This is no joke, Hexxat. I need to know. |
| 85353 I so want to say better you than meâ€â€but I wouldn't mean it. |
| 85354 You've been hurt worse. |
| 85355 That will doâ€â€for now. Let's finish this. |
| 85356 I hope you're telling the truth, Hexxat. |
| 85357 I trust you, Hexxat, though I'm not entirely certain why. Let's finish L's business, so we can properly get on with our own. |
| 85358 Yes. |
| 85359 No. |
| 85360 As ready as I'm ever like to be. |
| 85361 I believe so. |
| 85362 What's life without risk? |
| 85363 Tell it to someone else, <CHARNAME>. I know you better than that. |
| 85364 When this is over. I promise. |
| 85365 I'd like that. |
| 85366 I'd be happy to talk to you about thisâ€â€after we're done with the lich. Are you ready to go? |
| 85367 If not now, when? |
| 85368 We started this together, <CHARNAME>. I'd prefer we end it the same way. When you're ready, that's when we shall go. |
| 85369 You won't help me finish this? |
| 85370 Exactly. Will you join me, then? |
| 85371 I'd like to change thatâ€â€when this is over. |
| 85372 You doubt me, <CHARNAME>? I'm hurt. |
| 85373 Know this, then: When I'm finally done with L, I belong to you. |
| 85374 I feel the same. I know it may not always seem that way, but I do. |
| 85375 There's only one way to find out. Are you ready? |
| 85376 All right. I've now seen enough of these places to officially want to be cremated when I die. |
| 85377 I've seen your magic at work, girlie. You're as like to be cremated before you die as after. |
| 85378 Hey! Don't be so, so... |
| 85379 Observant? |
| 85380 Yeah! |
| 85381 Let's get this done quickly. |
| 85382 Hexxat? You know this woman? |
| 85383 Who are you? |
| 85384 She knows who you areâ€â€I don't want to know who she is. |
| 85385 Who are you? |
| 85386 What are you saying? |
| 85387 Your time is over now. |
| 85388 How do you know Hexxat? |
| 85389 You've not been abandoned, Phreya. In fact, we are here to rescue you. |
| 85390 Your grudge is with L, not Hexxat. Let us pass. |
| 85391 How do you know Hexxat? |
| 85392 You've not been abandoned, Phreya. In fact, we are here to rescue you. |
| 85393 Your grudge is with L, not Hexxat. Let us pass. |
| 85394 We will, soon. For the moment, just wait here. When we've disposed of the lich, we'll return for you. |
| 85395 Your rescue is just the first part of our mission. Before we can leave, we must eliminate the lich. |
| 85396 We cannot. Not while the lich yet lives. Do you know where we can find it? |
| 85397 We can do both. |
| 85398 All right, you got me. |
| 85399 Some people are beyond saving. |
| 85400 You can't seriously hold that against her. |
| 85401 If you'd gone to get it yourself, you could have saved a lot of people a lot of trouble, Phreya. |
| 85402 We're here to help you nowâ€â€if you'll let us. |
| 85403 There's only one thing we can do to help you now, monster. |
| 85404 A professional to the end. |
| 85405 He bid you block our way? THAT's weird. |
| 85406 More fool you, then. |
| 85407 What? |
| 85408 As you wish. |
| 85409 You realize Phreya will dog our every move now, right? You do realize that? |
| 85410 That was a mistake. |
| 85411 She's manipulating you, Hexxat. You see that, don't you? |
| 85412 You owe me more. Letting her go hurts our own chances for success. |
| 85413 You owe her nothing. When we encounter her nextâ€â€and we will meet her againâ€â€I hope you're ready to do what must be done. |
| 85414 Perhaps next time you could consult me before making a decision that puts my life in danger. |
| 85415 So will I, apparently. |
| 85416 It's not your place to take it for both of us. |
| 85417 She's not. You'll see. |
| 85418 I know. |
| 85419 We'll find out soon enough. |
| 85420 I agree, butâ€â€you must have some sympathy for her. L treated you both poorly. |
| 85421 Perhaps we can turn her to our cause. You didn't turn your back on L when he left you to rot in Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 85422 Agreed. She needs to be put out of everyone's misery. Particularly mine. |
| 85423 What is this? Do my eyes deceive me? Is that you, Hexxat? |
| 85424 You wouldn't, of course. I was after your timeâ€â€or I thought I was. |
| 85425 There's only one way to find out. Are you ready? |
| 85426 My name is Phreya. Like Hexxat, I was an agent of her so-called "L." Like her, I was abandonedâ€â€though it seems she was not so abandoned as I'd been led to believe... |
| 85427 Phreya. Another of L's lost agents. Though it seems we've both been found again, haven't we, Hexxat? And "lost" isn't really the word for itâ€â€not when you could use "abandoned." |
| 85428 You are here to save me? You're late, then. Far too late. |
| 85429 Truly? Then let us leave this place now. |
| 85430 Deceiver! You're here to destroy Korkorran, not save me. |
| 85431 Count yourself among them! |
| 85432 L has sent you to your doom! You'll not leave this place alive! |
| 85433 Damn you! You offer me hope with one hand and pull it away with the other. Korkorran's power rivals L'sâ€â€you cannot defeat him. You'll be trapped here forever, the same as me. |
| 85434 All who serve L know Hexxat. She's Cabrina's favorite cautionary tale. Or she was. Ha! Perhaps I have that honor now. |
| 85435 I see you finally obtained Dragomir's Casque. A pity you didn't do so in time for it to help me here. |
| 85436 Your lossâ€â€the first of two you'll have this night. |
| 85437 You think so? We'll see. We'll see. |
| 85438 That's where you're wrong. |
| 85439 You think not? Tell me, Hexxat, how would you feel, being assigned a job but not supplied the proper tools? You didn't just fail L, you failed me. Look at me now! |
| 85440 I'd rather not. |
| 85441 I did as L bid me. Nothing more or less. |
| 85442 No. |
| 85443 Enough! No more words. Let the killing commence! |
| 85444 I was a fool to trust L. You're no better. |
| 85445 Your friend is amusing, Hexxat. I'm sure it serves <PRO_HIMHER> well in the world above. Let's see how <PRO_HESHE> serves you down here. |
| 85446 Stay your hand, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85447 We've no quarrel with you, Phreya. I'm here to do a job, same as you were. Let us pass. |
| 85448 This isn't over, Hexxat. It's barely even begun. |
| 85449 Let's move on. |
| 85450 I gave her a chance. I owe her that much. |
| 85451 I see what she's trying to do. Whenâ€â€ifâ€â€she stands in our way, she'll learn that I'm not so easily led. |
| 85452 I always am. |
| 85453 I'll take that risk. |
| 85454 Don't tell me my place, <CHARNAME>. You won't like where that ends. |
| 85455 Save the scolding till we've done what we came here to do, <CHARNAME>. I can't properly appreciate it while the lich still lives. |
| 85456 She may be right. |
| 85457 I feel for Phreya, <CHARNAME>, I truly do. But I'll not risk the success of this mission on her accountâ€â€or anyone else's. |
| 85458 I knew the risks, and so did she. We've no one to blame but ourselves. |
| 85459 She'll dog us every step we take through this place. We've got to eliminate her. |
| 85460 Well, well. Another fly has wandered into Korkorran's web. |
| 85461 I'll tear your web to shreds! |
| 85462 Phreya. What are you doing here, <CHARNAME>? |
| 85463 What a coincidence! I came here to do the same thing. |
| 85464 If you'd asked me that some time ago, I might have agreed. As it is, my purpose here has changed somewhat. |
| 85465 What are you doing here? |
| 85466 This could've been the start of a beautiful friendship. |
| 85467 It's getting better by the moment. |
| 85468 See how well that serves you here! |
| 85469 No point planning for a future you don't have. |
| 85470 My name is <CHARNAME>. Who are you? |
| 85471 Bloody hell, not more webs. The Tomb of the Unproved was bad enough. |
| 85472 This fly has a murderous half-orc with <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 85473 This fly is heavily armed. |
| 85474 This fly knows magic. |
| 85475 This fly knows <PRO_HISHER> way around spiders. |
| 85476 I've come to kill a lich. |
| 85477 Raiding a tomb. |
| 85478 First, I'm killing you. Then... well, long-term planning is not a strength of mine. |
| 85479 We should work together then. |
| 85480 You don't say? How's that working out for you? |
| 85481 It's unfortunate for you that I prefer to work without competition. |
| 85482 I've come to kill a lich. |
| 85483 Looting, mostly. |
| 85484 Beyond killing you, I haven't given it much thought. |
| 85485 Go back, Hexxat. Haven't you spent enough time among the dead? How much more are you prepared to lose? |
| 85486 I was like you once, Hexxat. Ready to do anythingâ€â€sacrifice anyoneâ€â€to get the job done. Look at where it got me. Look at where it got US. |
| 85487 Did I? Did you? Death is one thing; I could accept that. But I didn't die, and you didn't stay dead. How could we predict that? How do you prepare for unending torment? |
| 85488 You have no idea how hard it will get, Hexxat. You can't know. But you'll find out soon enough. |
| 85489 Don't make this harder than it has to be, Phreya. |
| 85490 You knew the risks when you took the job, Phreya. |
| 85491 Turn back, <PRO_RACE>. It's not too late... not yet... |
| 85492 Bold words. But actions are what count. |
| 85493 Believe me when I say you can always go down. |
| 85494 When you're alone, words are precious things. More precious than some people's lives. |
| 85495 I'll turn back when I've destroyed the lich, no sooner. |
| 85496 I've nowhere to go but forward. |
| 85497 Words are cheap, witch. |
| 85498 Go back, Hexxat. Haven't you spent enough time among the dead? How much more are you prepared to lose? |
| 85499 I was like you once, Hexxat. Ready to do anythingâ€â€sacrifice anyoneâ€â€to get the job done. Look where it got me. Look where it got US. |
| 85500 Death is one thing; I could accept that. But I didn't die, and you didn't stay dead. How could we predict that? How do you prepare for unending torment? |
| 85501 You have no idea how hard it will get, Hexxat. You can't know. But you'll find out soon enough. |
| 85502 She's got my cloak. She took my cloak. |
| 85503 I need it to survive the daylight. |
| 85504 That cloak IS my life, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85505 I won't be one of them. I can't be. |
| 85506 Don't patronize me. You have no idea what that cloak means to me. |
| 85507 We need to move quickly. Gods know what she'll do if we don't catch up to her. |
| 85508 That's as may be. |
| 85509 You're right. |
| 85510 You don't know what I've survived, <CHARNAME>. You haven't a clue. Now come on. |
| 85511 We'll get you another when we're out of this place. |
| 85512 Better that than your life. |
| 85513 She can't leave this place any more than we can. We'll get it back. |
| 85514 We'll get it back. |
| 85515 Oh, right. It's THAT cloak. |
| 85516 Plenty of vampires get by without daylight. |
| 85517 Calm yourself, Hexxat. We'll get it back. |
| 85518 You won't be. I promise. |
| 85519 Then stop sniveling and let's get after her. |
| 85520 Phreya's trying to break you down. Don't let her. You've survived worse than this. |
| 85521 You called it a filthy rag. And it stinks. |
| 85522 I'm beginning to get one. |
| 85523 How are you, Hexxat? Not too cold, I hope. This place does have a rather chilling effect, especially for someone who's lost their cloak. |
| 85524 I hate to say it, but neither of us is walking away from this. |
| 85525 There was a chance for you to walk away from this alive, Phreya. You just lost that chance. |
| 85526 You've come a long way, <PRO_RACE>. But you'll not go much further. |
| 85527 Why are you doing this, Hexxat? Really. What could L have done to earn such loyalty? |
| 85528 This is the man who sent you into a vampire's embrace. Who left you to rot in Dragomir's Tomb for centuries! |
| 85529 You can't trust him any further than you can Korkorran. You know that, right? |
| 85530 And your friend? Does <PRO_HESHE> trust L too? |
| 85531 No, I suppose it doesn't. |
| 85532 Ha! You're a fool, <PRO_RACE>. You have no idea what price has been paid by people who trusted Hexxat. |
| 85533 You should. Sooner or later, you'll pay it too. |
| 85534 Killing you now would have saved you disappointment later. |
| 85535 You've still got it, Hexxat. But what you've got I can take away. |
| 85536 Why are you doing this, <PRO_RACE>? Really. What could you possibly find here that you're willing to die for? |
| 85537 It will be a bitter end. I promise you that. |
| 85538 I trust him to honor his word to me. |
| 85539 She's telling the truth, <CHARNAME>. I was a predator before I ever became a vampire. I used people and cast them aside. But not you. Never you. |
| 85540 If you've ever believed a word I said, believe this, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85541 She's taking me apart, <CHARNAME>. Picking away at me, piece by piece. I don't know how much more of this I can endure... |
| 85542 I trust Hexxat. |
| 85543 Not even a little, but it matters not. Where Hexxat goes, I will follow. |
| 85544 Does it matter? |
| 85545 It'll take more than your words to turn me against her. |
| 85546 I don't believe you. |
| 85547 You think I care what price they paid? |
| 85548 I believe you. |
| 85549 I want to believe you. |
| 85550 I can't believe you, Hexxat. I want to, but I cannot. |
| 85551 You know what I want to hear, but I never know whether you speak the truth. |
| 85552 Heeheeheeheeheeheehee... |
| 85553 Where are your jokes now, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 85554 Oh good, you're finally here. |
| 85555 Wait. You're not the bodies I ordered. You're still breathing. |
| 85556 Cheeky <PRO_GIRLBOY>! I'll have your tongue out for that. |
| 85557 Well, this is no good. Stand stillâ€â€let me fix you. |
| 85558 I am? Good to know. I was starting to have my doubts. |
| 85559 You ordered dead bodies? What for? Actually, forget I asked. In fact, forget you saw me at all. |
| 85560 That's more than can be said for you. |
| 85561 Is it just me, or is that a lot of webs? Even for a tomb, that seems a bit much. |
| 85562 Shar's shadow hide me from these eyes of Lolth... |
| 85563 Eh? Who are you? What are you doing here? |
| 85564 You're LOOKING for Korkorran? That's a new one. Most do everything in their power to avoid him. |
| 85565 Aye, well, you've got to go where the power is, don't you? |
| 85566 What are you doing here again? |
| 85567 You may want to look again, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 85568 That was a joke, yes? Yes. Yes, it was. |
| 85569 SHORT? |
| 85570 It's a labyrinth, moron. Where do you think you'll find him? |
| 85571 Actually, now that I think of it, you'll not find him at all. |
| 85572 Oho, you're one of those, are you? That's a shame. |
| 85573 They are from Zakhara. How did you know? |
| 85574 It is, it is. Ah, you know I'm going to kill you now, right? |
| 85575 Let me think, let me think... Mmmnnnno. No, doesn't ring any bells. Ah, you realize I'm going to kill you now, right? |
| 85576 You're rather an unpleasant person, you know that? I believe I'll kill you now. |
| 85577 No. No, I don't believe you'll be doing that. Not under your own power, at any rate. |
| 85578 My name is <CHARNAME>. I'm looking for a lich. |
| 85579 Your neighbors have been complaining about giant spiders. I'm here to clear the area out. |
| 85580 I'm killing a short, strange little man. |
| 85581 Do you know where I can find him? |
| 85582 You seem happy enough to be here. |
| 85583 It's not impossible to destroy someone you can't locate. But it does tend to make things easier. |
| 85584 Leaving. |
| 85585 Just looking around. Say, do you know if your pets have any relatives in Zakhara? |
| 85586 It looks like I'm killing a gnome. |
| 85587 I saw some spiders there that were practically identical. It's a small world, isn't it? |
| 85588 I think I met their mother once. Does the name Raffiyah mean anything to you? |
| 85589 I killed some just like them in a crypt there once. Good times. |
| 85590 A fitting welcome to the den of a lich. |
| 85591 A mat would've worked, too. |
| 85592 Take them out. |
| 85593 The postscript to your lives is at an end, my dark doves. |
| 85594 Whoa. |
| 85595 Not the most welcoming thing you could hear upon entering a crypt. |
| 85596 Boo says the most welcoming thing you can hear upon entering a crypt is a friendly voice saying "Welcome!" |
| 85597 Come on. |
| 85598 The necrotic barrier rips and tears at your living flesh. Only something already dead can cross this barrier. |
| 85599 The barrier has no effect on me. |
| 85600 It wouldn't. |
| 85601 I'll have to go forward on my own. |
| 85602 I'm not thrilled about it myself, but we've little choice while this barrier blocks your way. |
| 85603 Watch your back. |
| 85604 Yes, I noticed. |
| 85605 Count on it. |
| 85606 I'll be back soon. |
| 85607 I'll do what I have to do, <CHARNAME>. I always have. |
| 85608 I don't like the idea of you venturing alone through a lich's lair. |
| 85609 Be careful, said the person invading a lich's crypt. |
| 85610 Find a way to remove this obstruction. You can't take a lich on your own. |
| 85611 You do the same. |
| 85612 I'd rather watch yours. |
| 85613 Always. |
| 85614 A necrotic barrier. The living cannot pass through here. |
| 85615 Feel free to test it and find out for yourself. |
| 85616 There is. But dying would defeat the purpose of this venture. |
| 85617 Undoubtedly. But we might spend the rest of eternity figuring out what it is. |
| 85618 Are you sure? |
| 85619 There must be a way to get through. |
| 85620 There must be something we can do to disrupt the barrier. |
| 85621 Damn! This thing may be out of my league. |
| 85622 Nothing I can say will change what is about to happen. |
| 85623 You have entered my home without my invitation, vampire. Explain yourself. |
| 85624 That is true enough. |
| 85625 Damn it. Damn it! |
| 85626 These doors are connected... Opening one closes another. |
| 85627 Hello, big boy. |
| 85628 Nothing to say for yourself? Interesting. |
| 85629 Intriguing. |
| 85630 Oh, by the Hells. |
| 85631 Not quite the undead I'm looking for. |
| 85632 Congratulations, Hexxat. You've made it as far as I did. But I'm afraid you'll go no further. |
| 85633 There is no deception here, Hexxat. All secrets will be stripped away by Korkorran. |
| 85634 A professional, right up to the end. I was the same. |
| 85635 Run along now. Give my regards to L. |
| 85636 They've come for the same reason I did, master. Show them the same mercy you showed me. |
| 85637 I am Korkorran. You have entered my home without my invitation, <PRO_RACE>. I hope you have a good explanation for doing so. |
| 85638 You will join my legion of the dead! |
| 85639 I'll let you go, <PRO_RACE>, on the condition that you deliver a message to your master. |
| 85640 Your deaths will speak eloquently enough! |
| 85641 Tell "L" that Korkorran serves him no longer. That I'd not see him destroyed, but neither will I hesitate to destroy him if he crosses me again. Can you tell him that for me? |
| 85642 Ah. Well, your deaths should send the message clearly enough. |
| 85643 Good. Then go, now, before I change my mind. |
| 85644 I hope you're entertaining yourself, <CHARNAME>. I doubt anyone else appreciates your humor, least of all the lich. |
| 85645 You've a thing or two to learn about discretion, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85646 Can, but won't. |
| 85647 You flatter yourself, Phreya. |
| 85648 First, I've a message for you, lich! |
| 85649 Take it down! |
| 85650 That was too easy. Too easy by far. |
| 85651 Perhaps I'm making this more difficult than it needs to be. We should check the rest of the crypt, just to be on the safe side. |
| 85652 All right. We came to destroy the lich, the lich is about as destroyed as it can get, we're leaving now. Right? |
| 85653 No. No, it was hard. It was just exactly hard enough. And now we leave. |
| 85654 You don't even know what a safe side is, do you? Do you? You don't, just admit it! |
| 85655 I've an explanation, but I doubt it's one you'll find particularly satisfying. |
| 85656 This is your place? I'm so sorry, I must have written the address down wrong. |
| 85657 L sends his regards. |
| 85658 I can do that. |
| 85659 He's no master of mine. |
| 85660 I'll deliver him a message all right, but not the one you wish to send. |
| 85661 Actually, I can't. I've never had a chance to meet the man. |
| 85662 Sure. Not a problem. |
| 85663 I'd rather tell him I've dealt with you. |
| 85664 I told you to leave this place, <PRO_RACE>. You should have listened. |
| 85665 Hah! Now we're talking! Die and die again, monsters! |
| 85666 I knew there was a reason I avoided this room earlier. |
| 85667 Where'd be the fun in that? |
| 85668 And you couldn't have shared the reason with us, oh, I don't know, thirty seconds ago? |
| 85669 This looks promising. |
| 85670 Yes. Yes, it does... |
| 85671 Keep your hands to yourself, Jan. The only thing you and this place promise is a series of devastating explosions. |
| 85672 I know. It's fantastic, isn't it? |
| 85673 That's not the first word that springs to my mind... |
| 85674 I knew a man in Waterdeep a bit like that, frosty and high-strung. Went to pieces under pressure. |
| 85675 Are dead liches supposed to do that? |
| 85676 The lich is destroyed. We leave now, right? |
| 85677 The Casque of Entrapment didn't work as it should... Something's not right here. |
| 85678 There's something going on, beyond the obvious. |
| 85679 We can't leave. Not yet. |
| 85680 Both. |
| 85681 The Casque won't let me tombwalk. |
| 85682 Either that, or the mission hasn't yet been completed. |
| 85683 A lich is dead. |
| 85684 This isn't Korkorran. We still have work to do. |
| 85685 It should not have died as it did... |
| 85686 The Casque won't let me tombwalk. The mission hasn't been completed yet. |
| 85687 I doubt itâ€â€if we'd killed the correct lich. |
| 85688 This isn't about plunder. |
| 85689 Korkorran's, apparently. |
| 85690 Will it get us out of here? |
| 85691 Take a look around. NOTHING is right here. |
| 85692 The lich is destroyed. Seems about right to me. |
| 85693 There usually is... |
| 85694 Let's discuss it back at the pocket plane. |
| 85695 Curiosity kills more than cats. |
| 85696 We can't leave, or you won't leave? |
| 85697 Well, of course not. We've barely begun to loot the place. |
| 85698 Why not? |
| 85699 But the lich is dead. |
| 85700 It's broken? |
| 85701 L has betrayed us. |
| 85702 The lich is dead. |
| 85703 How is that possible? |
| 85704 I've an undead puddle forming beneath my feet that says otherwise. |
| 85705 What are you suggesting? |
| 85706 But it did die. Let's focus on the positive here. |
| 85707 Will L truly be bothered by the fashion of the lich's destruction? |
| 85708 How is that possible? The lich is dead. |
| 85709 A decoy lich? What kind of twisted mind would do something like that? |
| 85710 More undead to kill? I can think of worse ways to spend the <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 85711 Who are you? Who trespasses in and destroys my home? |
| 85712 My former master sent you, then. You are to tame his rebellious servant? |
| 85713 You're Hexxat, are you not? |
| 85714 L spoke highly of you once. And then he spoke of you not at all. Now I know why. |
| 85715 Agreed. |
| 85716 I do not know this name. But there beside you... it is Hexxat, is it not? |
| 85717 You'll join their number soon enough. |
| 85718 You'll change your mindâ€â€or perhaps I should say I will change it. |
| 85719 Is that true, Hexxat? Are you happy with your lot inâ€â€heh, well, it's not really a life now, is it? |
| 85720 Have you a point to make, lich? Because I'm not seeing it. |
| 85721 One way or the other. |
| 85722 You know me? |
| 85723 Let it talk. |
| 85724 It knows we can hurt it, perhaps destroy it. It's not stupid. It's going to make us an offer. |
| 85725 A vampire has many powers, far beyond those of normal humans. And many weaknesses, too. Some would gladly trade their humanity for a vampire's kiss. But you were not one of them, were you? |
| 85726 I did not seek to become what I am. Your destruction is the last stone on my path to regaining what I lost. |
| 85727 I speak of the sun. Of eating for pleasure rather than need. Of seeing my friends as something other than food. |
| 85728 He has that power. |
| 85729 You do notâ€â€you cannot understand. |
| 85730 And in exchange? |
| 85731 We have a business relationship. He hasn't wronged me yet. |
| 85732 He valued my skills before I turned. The last thing I need fear is losing his favor. |
| 85733 Truly? |
| 85734 So I should take Korkorran's offer, then? |
| 85735 You think so? |
| 85736 This may be the last chance I have to walk in the sun again. |
| 85737 A very good point. |
| 85738 It offers nothing to compare to the sun on my face. |
| 85739 All right, Korkorran. You've got a deal. Make me human again, and we'll leave you in peace. |
| 85740 They don't need to know. |
| 85741 What you call gifts come with a price beyond measure. |
| 85742 I think my employer will be very pleased indeed. |
| 85743 There will be no rest for you, <PRO_RACE>â€â€not even in death! |
| 85744 The only screams you hear will be echoes of your own as you die by my hand! |
| 85745 That it would beâ€â€had you the power to destroy me. |
| 85746 That is true enoughâ€â€for one of us, at least. |
| 85747 If it's humanity you want, I can give you that as easily as the one who sent you. |
| 85748 In exchange, you and your friends shall leave this place, never to return. |
| 85749 Then die! |
| 85750 Very well. |
| 85751 You don't know? |
| 85752 You asked for this, Hexxat. |
| 85753 Come end it, thenâ€â€or try to! |
| 85754 I gave her what she wantedâ€â€her humanity. All two hundred and thirty-seven years of it. |
| 85755 I could... but why would I, now that I've got your little trinket? |
| 85756 Yes, do that. Join Hexxat in the Hells! |
| 85757 I think this toy was your only hope of surviving this place. |
| 85758 You are not amused? No matter. I'll carve you a smile that will last forever. |
| 85759 Join your vampire trollop in the Hells, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 85760 Oh, you really should have. Now, I believe we had a deal. I kept my end of the bargain. Will you do the same? |
| 85761 It's been a pleasure doing business with you, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 85762 This? Oh no, I think I'll be keeping this. |
| 85763 I hardly think you're in a position to be making demands. |
| 85764 All right... After considering the matter, I realize you can go join your bloodsucking friend in the Hells! |
| 85765 Such a creature cannot be trusted. |
| 85766 It canâ€â€if it knows the penalty for treachery is greater than doing what it promises. |
| 85767 Just say the word, <CHARNAME>... |
| 85768 Your employer should be pleased, Hexxat. |
| 85769 I think he will be, Viconia. |
| 85770 Hexxat was a nice person, as vampires go. *sigh* I don't really know what to say... I'm sorry for your loss, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85771 She died as she lived, always following her own path. We should all have such clarity of vision and purpose. |
| 85772 There's nothing here to mourn. She got what she desired, and that's the end of it. |
| 85773 Who are you? Who trespasses and destroys my home? |
| 85774 My former master sent you, then. You are to tame his rebellious servant? |
| 85775 Plans change. |
| 85776 Lives end. |
| 85777 Let's see you try it, then! |
| 85778 You've damaged my home, slain my servants. I cannot let that go unpunished. |
| 85779 I'll not see more resources lost to your vandalism, <PRO_RACE>. Go, and never return. |
| 85780 Die! |
| 85781 I do not know this name. I do know what you have done, and for that, you must pay. |
| 85782 You'll join their number soon enough. |
| 85783 You'll change your mindâ€â€or perhaps I should say I will change it. |
| 85784 There will be no rest for you, <PRO_RACE>â€â€not even in death! |
| 85785 That it would beâ€â€had you the power to destroy me. |
| 85786 My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 85787 Destroys? I've done you a favor. I don't know if you're aware of this, but your whole place was crawling with undead before I got here. |
| 85788 You can call me L. |
| 85789 The past is the past. It means nothing now. |
| 85790 Remind me again why I'm not in the process of utterly destroying you? |
| 85791 No more talk. It's time to kill, or die. |
| 85792 What? Why? |
| 85793 I've heard enough. |
| 85794 I'd rather hear it scream. |
| 85795 That number will be zero once you're destroyed. |
| 85796 Joining their number ever is too soon for me. |
| 85797 You'll join them in their final slumber now, monster. |
| 85798 It's trying to get in your head. Don't listen to it. |
| 85799 No, seriously now. Let's stop talking with this thing and kill it. |
| 85800 Would you like me to make you some tea so you can continue your chat? Or can we do what we came to do now? |
| 85801 You don't have to answer that, Hexxat. |
| 85802 What's done is done. We cannot let the past take the future hostage. |
| 85803 This goes no further, fiend. |
| 85804 Your deal with Lâ€â€it's for him to restore your humanity. |
| 85805 It's past time we reached the end of that path. |
| 85806 What you've lost? You speak of mortality? Of weakness and pain and death? |
| 85807 People with that kind of power are rarely trustworthy. |
| 85808 What kind of creature have we been working for? |
| 85809 But why would you sacrifice all that you've gained? |
| 85810 If you truly would be mortal again, you should take the lich's offer. |
| 85811 Sounds like a good deal to me. |
| 85812 You and L have a deal, Hexxat. |
| 85813 Give it time. |
| 85814 There was that one time he let you lie in a vampire's crypt for two hundred years. But other than that, you're right, he's perfectly trustworthy. |
| 85815 Because you still have value to him. That could change if you were human. |
| 85816 Well, yeah, but then I never wanted to come here in the first place. |
| 85817 I didn't say that. |
| 85818 This may be your only chance to have your humanity restored. You have to take it. |
| 85819 If he's lying, we're well situated to make him pay for it. Will we ever be able to say the same of L? |
| 85820 I would never surrender the gifts you've been given. But the choice is yours. |
| 85821 I would not deny you that. |
| 85822 I cannot deny you thatâ€â€or anything, for that matter. |
| 85823 How long will you walk there if L finds out you betrayed him? |
| 85824 The sun is overrated. You'd be a fool to give up everything being a vampire offers. |
| 85825 I've said my piece. The choice is yours. |
| 85826 The choice is yours. But remember, you made a deal with L. |
| 85827 I'll not let this creature steal your power away from you. |
| 85828 No! What have you done? |
| 85829 I really should've seen this coming. |
| 85830 You just made the last mistake of your misbegotten semi-life, monster! |
| 85831 Restore her. Now! |
| 85832 And in doing so, instigated your doom! |
| 85833 I'll spread your pieces from Thay to Athkatla, hellspawn! |
| 85834 You think I need some toy to lay you low? |
| 85835 Here, let me show you. |
| 85836 Out of respect for Hexxat, I will. Pray we never cross paths again. |
| 85837 I willâ€â€once you give me the Casque. |
| 85838 I'll see you burn for this, Korkorran. With holy water, I'll turn your ashes to mud. |
| 85839 Hand it over, lich. I won't ask again. |
| 85840 Very well, then. Get me out of here. |
| 85841 You made your choice. You won't have to live with it long. |
| 85842 You'll find out what position I'm in if you don't give me the Casque. |
| 85843 Think again. Very carefully. |
| 85844 My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 85845 Destroys? I've done you a favor. I don't know if you're aware of this, but your whole place was crawling with undead before I got here. |
| 85846 You can call me L. |
| 85847 That was the plan. |
| 85848 I will tame you, one way or another. |
| 85849 What L wants is no longer relevant. Let me go on my way, and I'll leave you in peace. |
| 85850 This is true. |
| 85851 Fine. We do it the hard way, then. |
| 85852 You could. And if you want to survive this <DAYNIGHTALL>, you will. |
| 85853 That number will be zero once you're destroyed. |
| 85854 Joining their number ever is too soon for me. |
| 85855 You'll join them in their final slumber now, monster. |
| 85856 YOU HAVE DONE WELL, HEXXAT. |
| 85857 GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS FOR NOW. CABRINA WILL CONTACT YOU SHORTLY. |
| 85858 Ahh! What is thatâ€â€that voice? Is it a voice? It's in my head! |
| 85859 I have always done well for you, L. Now you must do the same for me. |
| 85860 I'll be waiting. |
| 85861 Can I speak to you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 85862 Of course, Rasaad. |
| 85863 Could I stop you? |
| 85864 Not now. |
| 85865 You could, of course, though I would prefer to think you'd be happier not to. |
| 85866 Much happier. What can I do for you? |
| 85867 A lot hinges on the topic you choose to discuss. |
| 85868 Think again, monk. |
| 85869 It is not too unpleasant a subject, I hope. |
| 85870 I justâ€â€how to put this? When I embarked on this journey to avenge Gamaz, I felt that I must do so alone. |
| 85871 You need never be alone, Rasaad. Not while I live. |
| 85872 You know better now, I hope. |
| 85873 We are all alone in the end. |
| 85874 So you feel as I do? |
| 85875 Nobody wants to be alone. |
| 85876 That depends on how you feel. |
| 85877 I don't like to discuss feelings. If I say "yes," can we drop this? |
| 85878 Would that I could. I'm afraid you're not my type, Rasaad. |
| 85879 I do not know what I'd do if I were to lose you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85880 Let's not find out. |
| 85881 My best guess� Mope. You've a gift for it. |
| 85882 Much the same as you did before you met me, I imagine. |
| 85883 Old habits die hard, <CHARNAME>. But with your help, I believe they can be broken. |
| 85884 I do. I cannot tell you what your companyâ€â€your supportâ€â€has meant to me. |
| 85885 The end is a ways awayâ€â€at least, I hope it is. And until it arrives, I hope you will be by my side. |
| 85886 That is enough for meâ€â€for now, at least. |
| 85887 I'll do everything I can to avoid it. |
| 85888 Perhaps. I hope never to find out. |
| 85889 You and me both. |
| 85890 Iâ€â€see. Thank you for your time, <CHARNAME>â€â€and for clarifying things for me. |
| 85891 It would seem my relationship with Rasaad is developing into something more than friendship. |
| 85892 It seems Rasaad would like our relationship to evolve into something more than friendship. I let him down as easily as I could. |
| 85893 It seems Rasaad would like our relationship to evolve into something more than friendship. I put a quick and permanent end to that notion. |
| 85894 It is cold tonight. |
| 85895 I fear it will get colder. |
| 85896 Looking for a little warmth, are you? |
| 85897 I've been colder. |
| 85898 There was a time when I preferred the night. I felt the Moonmaiden watching over me. |
| 85899 Did you hear her snickering as well? |
| 85900 No. Sometimes, I thought I heard her singing, though. |
| 85901 Tell me, did she sound like a mooing cow? That's how I've always imagined her voice. |
| 85902 No. Her voice was high and melodic, a lullaby that calmed the mind and filled the heart with hope. |
| 85903 There's little enough of it in this world. |
| 85904 I fear you are right. |
| 85905 On a night like this, I would feel whole and serene once. Now, it is different. |
| 85906 You have moved on. Once, Selûne was your only mistress. Now, you have found another, or at the least, you do not see her in the same way. |
| 85907 Stay the course, Rasaad. You'll find serenity again, I am sure of it. |
| 85908 Best to get used to it. I don't see much serenity in any of our futures. |
| 85909 You give the monk too much credit, <CHARNAME>. Whatever he says or does, his heart will always belong with his Moonmaiden. |
| 85910 There is a part of me that will belong to her always, it is true. But that part no longer rules my life as it once did. |
| 85911 A nauseatingly banal platitude for one as deep as our monk friend. |
| 85912 You say there is hope for me yet, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85913 For a time, there was room in my heart for nothing but vengeance. My brother's death consumed meâ€â€it still does. And yet, as time passes, I see a time that it will no longer be enough to sustain me. Perhaps then I can return fully to the Sun Soul. |
| 85914 Perhaps you will find something else to lean on. Or someone. |
| 85915 Is that what you truly want? |
| 85916 If they'll have you. |
| 85917 Come now, <CHARNAME>. It's not as though Selûne's a picky sort. |
| 85918 If they will not... I do not know what I'll do. |
| 85919 You'll always have a place with me. |
| 85920 You're a resourceful man. You'll think of something. |
| 85921 I suspect you've a while to go before you have to figure it out. |
| 85922 Ach! You make me sad, wael. |
| 85923 If you can't, I've a few ideas where you can stick yourself. |
| 85924 I doubt it will get that bad, drow. But I will keep it in mind. You call me resourceful, <CHARNAME>? |
| 85925 Do you mean that? |
| 85926 Of course. |
| 85927 You doubt me? |
| 85928 No, Rasaad. I'm lying to your face. |
| 85929 I am more comfortable with your humor than I once was, but... there are still times I cannot tell if you are serious or not. |
| 85930 Fear not. I'm not mocking you. |
| 85931 You'd generally be safer assuming I wasn't. But in this instance, I am. I will never turn against you. |
| 85932 Figure it out for yourself. I've better things to do with my time than explain myself to you. |
| 85933 You do not know what that means to me, <CHARNAME>. When it seemed as though all the world had turned on me, I could rely on you and you alone. |
| 85934 I feel the same. |
| 85935 That's what friends are for. |
| 85936 Put your trust in someone else, monk. I won't be responsible for you. |
| 85937 Yes. Friends. |
| 85938 You would be more than that? |
| 85939 You think we're something else? |
| 85940 Better that than enemies. |
| 85941 I thinkâ€â€I hoped, for a momentâ€â€we might be something more? Ah! Ignore me. |
| 85942 In truth, I do not know. I no longer trust my own heart. |
| 85943 Well, when your heart and your mind are made up, I will be here. |
| 85944 Well, it has gotten you into an awful lot of trouble, you must admit. But that doesn't always have to be the case. |
| 85945 Then try using your mind for a change. |
| 85946 You are right, of course. Good night. |
| 85947 Perhaps I will at that. Good night. |
| 85948 I do not know if that is true. Were it not for you, I fear I would be lost. |
| 85949 I won't let you get lost, Rasaad. |
| 85950 The blind lead the blind. We're in serious trouble now. |
| 85951 You are lost, Rasaad. And you alone are responsible for forging your new path. |
| 85952 Hah! |
| 85953 Are you mocking me? |
| 85954 Iâ€â€I am sorry, <CHARNAME>. I did not mean to offend. Forgive me. |
| 85955 I'm the one who should apologize. I am tired, and my words were sharper than they were intended. |
| 85956 Relax, Rasaad. You worry too much. |
| 85957 First, you go away. Then I forgive. |
| 85958 I will bid you good night, then. |
| 85959 What, no good night for me? |
| 85960 My apologies, Viconia. I was saying good night to you both. |
| 85961 You actually believe I care. You never fail to amuse, Rasaad. |
| 85962 I hope you are rightâ€â€I will consider the matter. |
| 85963 Any excuse to gaze into the depths of your own navel, eh, Rasaad? |
| 85964 Good night, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85965 You will see us through them, I am sure. You always have. Good night. |
| 85966 I must tell you, <CHARNAME>â€â€after the events of these past weeks, I feel myself drawn to you, in a way I never imagined possible. |
| 85967 There are more possibilities available to you than you are aware, Rasaad. |
| 85968 Fortunately for you, I've a much more active imagination. |
| 85969 Nor should you. Our relationship is what it is, and that is all it will ever be. |
| 85970 I Thank you for your bluntness. I shall say no more. |
| 85971 Oh? And what do you imagine? |
| 85972 I imagine you happy. I suspect that's more than you're able to do. |
| 85973 I don't think the Moonmaiden or the Twofold or whatever goddess you serve this week would approve of it. Especially not when it involves one of her monks. |
| 85974 I imagine you with no mouth. I like you better when you don't speak. |
| 85975 Romantic relationships are rare in my order, but they are not technically forbidden. |
| 85976 That is good to know. I'd hate to think we were doing something forbidden. |
| 85977 It's not like you've much problem doing what's forbidden when it suits you anyway. |
| 85978 A shame. There are few things sweeter than forbidden fruit. |
| 85979 I do what honor demands. |
| 85980 Will honor keep you warm at night? |
| 85981 And that is why we can be nothing more than friends. You are too honorable by far. |
| 85982 You tell yourself that if you must. I know what impulses really drive you. |
| 85983 I think you know nothing of my impulses, <CHARNAME>. |
| 85984 I know only what you choose to reveal to me. |
| 85985 Then you should be more impulsive. |
| 85986 You're a man, Rasaad. I know all I need to know of what drives you. |
| 85987 Would you like that? |
| 85988 Try it and find out. |
| 85989 You ask if I would like it? Do you even know what impulsive means? |
| 85990 *sigh* You do not know what you just lost, you bloody great oaf. And you never will. |
| 85991 I do not wish to presume. |
| 85992 There's no sin in declaring your feelings clearly, Rasaad. |
| 85993 Presume away. If you go too far, you will know it quickly, I assure you. |
| 85994 Nor should you. You wouldn't like where that led. |
| 85995 Come with me, then. I'd like to do something impulsive with you. |
| 85996 All right. |
| 85997 Now we're talking. |
| 85998 I bet you would. As a monk, I'm sure you're accustomed to being denied baser pleasures. |
| 85999 So after all we've been through, you would deny me? |
| 86000 Our time will come, Rasaad. But it's not here yet. |
| 86001 For now, I will. Maybe later that will change. What can I say? I'm mercurial. |
| 86002 After all we've gone through, denying you is the sole joy you provide me. |
| 86003 Then I shall wait for the winds to change. Hopefully, they will blow in my directionâ€â€that would be a pleasant change of pace. |
| 86004 Would you see more? |
| 86005 I would see everything. I'll not be satisfied while there are secrets yet between us. |
| 86006 Yes. Show me more, now. |
| 86007 I've seen more than I care to already. Please, I beg youâ€â€be an impossible riddle, an unsolvable mystery to me. I would prefer that to your constant whining. |
| 86008 For some time now, I've restrained my baser urges, for fear of alienating you. I can no longer contain them, and in truth I do not want to. |
| 86009 Without honor, I have nothing. |
| 86010 That's not true. You'd still have me... if you wanted me. |
| 86011 I don't know about that. If you were a little less honorable, you might have a lot more fun. |
| 86012 Do I truly mean so little to you? |
| 86013 My brother's killer yet lives. My friends, with you excepted, are dead or have turned their backs upon me. My life is a shambles. How can I be happy under such dire circumstances? |
| 86014 You are with me. Does that count for nothing? |
| 86015 If you have to ask, you'll never know. |
| 86016 You choose to embrace misery when you could have embraced something else altogether. Your lack of vision will be your destruction, mark me on this. |
| 86017 It counts for more than you know. |
| 86018 You are probably right, <CHARNAME>. But I am what I am. And I must do what I must do. |
| 86019 Oh? And what are those? |
| 86020 You do not know? You must at least suspect... |
| 86021 You would have me do all the work here? No, no. I've gone as far as I'm willing to alone. The next step must be yours. |
| 86022 They are yours to discover, not mine to reveal. |
| 86023 I think I understand... |
| 86024 I look forward to uncovering these possibilities. |
| 86025 I would too, were I in your sandals. |
| 86026 That's not all you look forward to uncovering, I hope. |
| 86027 You say the words, but lack the conviction. Speak plainly now, or leave me until you're ready to act like an adult. |
| 86028 Yet I hesitate to move forward. I respect you deeply, <CHARNAME>. I do not want to sully that. |
| 86029 Respect me enough to speak plainly, and I will do the same. |
| 86030 I would have more than just your respect, Rasaad. |
| 86031 If I feel disrespected, you will know it very quickly, I promise you that. |
| 86032 Very well. |
| 86033 Damn me for a fool! I feel like a one-legged man walking a tightrope. I am better than this! All right then. The truth. |
| 86034 Though not forbidden, such things are not looked upon favorably. I knew a monk once who was roundly castigated for his relationship with a woman of, ah, negotiable affection. He was trying to lead her to the path of the Sun Soul and got led somewhere very different. It cost him many friends in the order, but he seemed to have few regrets. |
| 86035 Such feelings are quite complicated enough without one's faith adding to them. |
| 86036 So if you were to become romantically involved, it would be, what, semi-forbidden? |
| 86037 You compare me to some whore? |
| 86038 No! Iâ€â€I meant only to say that romantic relationships are fraught with complications for men of my faith. |
| 86039 You would risk the consequences, though? |
| 86040 Hah! You should see the look on your face, Rasaad. |
| 86041 Well, I'd hate to complicate things for you. |
| 86042 In your case, <CHARNAME>, I would gladly deal with the complications. |
| 86043 You make a joke of my feelings. |
| 86044 Not to hurt youâ€â€I'm trying to make this easier for you, though I seem to be failing to do so. |
| 86045 I'm not laughing at you, Rasaad. I'm laughing at a space just slightly to your left. You need to lighten up. |
| 86046 Your feelings are a joke, Rasaad. In future, keep them to yourself. |
| 86047 I will do that, then. |
| 86048 These are serious matters, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86049 'Twould be the semi-sweetest fruit. |
| 86050 Overly sweet things hurt my teeth anyway. |
| 86051 Is that a joke you're making? By the gods, there's hope for you yet. |
| 86052 Not sweet enough for me. |
| 86053 If I might speak seriously for a moment... there is something I must tell you. |
| 86054 I do, more than you know. |
| 86055 We are doing something, then? |
| 86056 I think so. Don't you? |
| 86057 Is that what you want? |
| 86058 Somethings. Separate things. Not together. |
| 86059 Honor... and a blanket. |
| 86060 I've something that could keep you warmer. |
| 86061 Is that a joke you're making? By the gods, there's hope for you yet. |
| 86062 Sleep well, then, and dream of what might have been, had you been slightly less bullheadedly stoic. |
| 86063 Do not toy with me, <CHARNAME>. I beg you. |
| 86064 You think too little of me. |
| 86065 Awww. Where's the fun in that? |
| 86066 I like to make you beg, monk. |
| 86067 I'm sorry...? |
| 86068 You should be, you idiot. |
| 86069 You are driving me to distraction, <CHARNAME>! |
| 86070 I'm sorry, Rasaad. Is there something in particular that's causing you problems? |
| 86071 Not the worst distraction you could have, I hope. |
| 86072 I thought monks were masters of focus and concentration. |
| 86073 It is not without its charms, nor are you. But we cannot go on as we have been. |
| 86074 How would you go forward from here, then? |
| 86075 Are you sure? I quite like the way things have been. |
| 86076 We have had a fruitful partnership thus far, Rasaad. Do not seek to change it. |
| 86077 Your very presence tears at my heart. I can bear this no longer. I must know where we stand. |
| 86078 We stand wherever you would have us stand, Rasaad. I trust my feelings are clear. |
| 86079 Where do we stand? Beside each other, as we always have. |
| 86080 We stand as friends and allies. I'd have thought this was clear by now. |
| 86081 As allies united against our common enemiesâ€â€and nothing more? |
| 86082 What more could we be? |
| 86083 Allies and friends. Is that not enough? |
| 86084 Nothing more. That should be enough for any man. |
| 86085 Then it will be enough for me. My thanks, <CHARNAME>. We'll speak of this no more. |
| 86086 Is that truly enough for you? |
| 86087 No. It isn't. |
| 86088 If I'm honest, I hadn't really given it that much thought. |
| 86089 It is. |
| 86090 Consider it now then, for I must have an answer. |
| 86091 If I must give you an answer, the answer is this: I love you. I trust you are now clear on where I stand, at least. |
| 86092 Can I think it over? |
| 86093 You do not want to pressure me, monk. |
| 86094 If you've anything to think over, I have my answer. |
| 86095 You've left me little choice in the matter. |
| 86096 You know I have feelings for you, Rasaad. |
| 86097 You choose to make this an issue, Rasaad. You, not me. |
| 86098 Then here is my answer: We are allies, and nothing more. That is enough for meâ€â€given the way you're acting now, it's more than it's worth. |
| 86099 Yet you do not share them with me. |
| 86100 You want me to share them? |
| 86101 Oh, and you're so talkative and forthcoming. You cannot put this on me, Rasaad, at least not entirely. |
| 86102 Our lifestyles do not always allow us to follow our hearts. |
| 86103 They do not always prevent it, either. |
| 86104 In this matter, if no other, I would know your heart. |
| 86105 I love you, Rasaad. Is that plain enough for you? |
| 86106 I treasure my secrets, Rasaad. You've not earned the right to know this one. Not yet. |
| 86107 I had sought to spare your feelings, but you have forced my hand. There is nothing between us, Rasaad. You are a means for me to achieve my own ends. Nothing more. |
| 86108 I do not believe you. |
| 86109 Fine, then. I sought to save us further heartache, but you will be satisfied with nothing less. I love you. There, I said it. Are you happy now? |
| 86110 You cling to hope where there is none. |
| 86111 Believe it or don't, it matters not to me. Learn to live with it, or leave. |
| 86112 I have lost everything then. My faith, my friends, my brother, and now you. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86113 Don't go, Rasaad. We can still do much for each other. |
| 86114 Fare thee well, Rasaad. I hope someday you find the peace you seek. |
| 86115 You still have vengeance. That is no small thing. |
| 86116 It will have to keep me. But I had hoped for something more. |
| 86117 I shall stay, then, for as long as I can bear it. Perhaps the hurt will grow less painful with time. |
| 86118 I cannot stay with you any longer. I see now it is my destiny to walk this dark path, forever alone. Goodbye. |
| 86119 I have lost everything that has ever mattered to me. My brother, my friends, my faith, and my order. All that I have left is revenge, and you. |
| 86120 And when you have had your revenge, you will still have me. |
| 86121 That's more than most. |
| 86122 You are half-right. |
| 86123 You say this is my burden to bear, then? |
| 86124 Your burdens are mine, Rasaad. You should know that by now. |
| 86125 The quest for vengeance is a burden you must bear alone, Rasaad. Keeping you alive to see it through is mine. |
| 86126 I cannot help you. |
| 86127 Then I am left with no choice. |
| 86128 You promise me this? I will not be abandoned by you, as I have been by so many others? |
| 86129 Never. |
| 86130 If this is going to work, you must learn to trust me, Rasaad. |
| 86131 Were I inclined to abandon you, I'd have done it long before now. |
| 86132 You are my life now, <CHARNAME>. What light penetrates my darkened heart comes from you and nothing else. If I lose you, I will lose myself. |
| 86133 Then I guess you'd better not lose me. |
| 86134 If you ever lose yourself, the first thing you need to do is find a mirror. That should sort things out fairly quickly. |
| 86135 If you would use me as a guide, you truly are lost, monk. |
| 86136 Happy? No, that is beyond me still. But I can at least see the potential for happiness. |
| 86137 I shall look in that mirror and pray I see you standing beside me still. |
| 86138 You will. Always. |
| 86139 Though Alorgoth was not seen again for many years after the events in the Deepstone mines, the Bringer of Doom was not killed there. By the time Alorgoth resurfaced, Rasaad had already been dead for some time. After the events of the Bhaalspawn saga, Rasaad was no longer satisfied to live as a fugitive. He returned to Calimshan, determined to prove his loyalty to the Sun Soul order. Unable to convince the Sun Soul's hierarchy he had truly not parted with their teachings, he was cast out. Denouncing the judgment, proclaiming his innocence, and refusing to leave, the stories say he fought off more than a hundred Sun Soul monks before succumbing to their superior numbers. Haraan Sixscar herself struck the final blow. In the aftermath of Rasaad's death, those present were shocked to realize that not one of those he fought that day had been killed. Later, the monk Gahan, one of those who decided Rasaad's guilt, was revealed to be an agent of the Dark Moon order. |
| 86140 Though Alorgoth was not seen again for many years after the events in the Deepstone mines, the Bringer of Doom was not killed there. But by the time Alorgoth resurfaced, Rasaad's interest in avenging his brother had waned. He finally found the peace he sought as a devotee of the Trust. Offering a more tolerant, less dogma-laden path to those worshippers who had grown disenchanted with Shar or Selûneâ€â€or at least the clergy that represented themâ€â€he ultimately renounced violence. He and his followers retreated to a remote monastery in the Cloud Peak mountains. There, Rasaad lived the rest of his life in quiet contemplation. |
| 86141 Though Alorgoth was not seen for many years after the events in the Deepstone mines, the Bringer of Doom was not killed there. But by the time Alorgoth resurfaced, Rasaad's focus had moved from avenging his dead family members to caring for his new ones. Unable to convince the Sun Soul order of his dedication to them, he and <CHARNAME> went and made a home together in the Cloud Peak mountains. Their seven children enjoyed an idyllic childhood, brought up according to the tenets of the Sun Soul philosophy. But the children were of the Bashir bloodline, and it was only a matter of time before the darkness that plagued their father found them as well. One pleasant spring evening, Rasaad and <CHARNAME> were set upon and killed by Sharran assassins. Another victory for Alorgoth, but it was one that cost the Dark Moon dearly. Trained by their father, the Seven embarked on a bloody path of vengeance from which the Dark Moon sect would never fully recover. |
| 86142 <CHARNAME>! Is it truly you? |
| 86143 Rasaad yn Bashir. I haven't seen you sinceâ€â€was it the Cloud Peaks? How have you been? |
| 86144 I certainly hope so. If it isn't, I've made a grave error. How are you, Rasaad? |
| 86145 Do I know you? |
| 86146 You don't remember me? Rasaad yn Bashir? We fought side by side atop the Cloud Peaks. |
| 86147 Rasaad! Forgive me, my friendâ€â€it's been a while, and you seem much changed. |
| 86148 Of course I know you, Rasaad. I see humor remains your blind spot. |
| 86149 I don't know you, monkâ€â€nor do I care to. Begone. |
| 86150 Ah. Forgive me. I've much on my mind these days. |
| 86151 I can tell. You seem much changed since our time together. |
| 86152 Does it have anything to do with those monks I saw you beating up earlier? |
| 86153 These are dark days. |
| 86154 My apologies. I thoughtâ€â€well, clearly what I thought was wrong. |
| 86155 I prefer to think I remain the same, while much has changed around me, though perhaps I'm fooling myself. |
| 86156 Good morrow to you, Hexxat, my ebon dove. It warms my heart to see you. And... other things. |
| 86157 He is. |
| 86158 Oh, you're still here? I was sure Hexxat would have made a midnight snack of you by nowâ€â€I can see no other reason for tolerating your presence. |
| 86159 And such lovely skin it is. I suppose I owe <PRO_HIMHER> my gratitude. |
| 86160 I did as L bid. Is he ready to fulfill his end of the bargain? |
| 86161 You underestimate them, Cabrina. They've saved my skin more than once. |
| 86162 Savor the sight of her, Cabrina. Once Hexxat's business with L is done, you'll not see her again. |
| 86163 A fine jest. Your blood is colder than anything running through Hexxat's veins. |
| 86164 Perhaps you're running a fever. I'd be more than happy to cool you down. |
| 86165 And he is here. Or at least a recaptured vessel that he speaks through is here. |
| 86166 Good morning, Larloch. |
| 86167 CABRINA. YOU HAVE BROUGHT THE VAMPIRE? |
| 86168 I have, master. Unfortunately, I could not convince her to come alone. |
| 86169 Korkorran is your master? |
| 86170 We've been working for Korkorran all this time? Thatâ€â€makes no sense whatsoever. |
| 86171 You deliver us to the lich Korkorran? What treachery is this? |
| 86172 That's not Korkorran. |
| 86173 A powerful undead can control others. It would seem this Korkorran is part of the infamous overmind of liches that Larloch controls. |
| 86174 THE OVERMIND IS RESTORED. MY MINION ONCE AGAIN BOWS TO MY WILL. |
| 86175 Good morning, Larloch. |
| 86176 SO YOU DO KNOW WHO I AM. WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT? |
| 86177 You go, <CHARNAME>. I'll rejoin you presently. |
| 86178 You're lying. This is the last time I'll see you, isn't it? |
| 86179 No, no. We started this together, I will see it end. |
| 86180 It doesn't matter. |
| 86181 We took care of your lich problem for you. |
| 86182 I'm not sure what's going on here, but can we please get it over with? |
| 86183 After this morning, she's done with you. |
| 86184 None of this matters. I'm finished with this. Hexxat, are you with me? |
| 86185 YOU HAVE DONE ME A SERVICE, AND I HAVE PROMISED YOU ONE IN RETURN. |
| 86186 AS I AM WITH HER. |
| 86187 IF IT IS STILL YOUR WISH, HEXXAT, I WILL MAKE YOU MORTAL AGAIN. |
| 86188 Make you mortal? That's the deal you struck with him? |
| 86189 You can do that? |
| 86190 And lose your vampiric powers? Ridiculous! |
| 86191 You're talking nonsense, lich. I'll hear no more of it. Come on, Hexxat, let us leave this place. |
| 86192 Can you truly do this, Larloch? |
| 86193 I'll leave when the scales have been balanced. You go, <CHARNAME>. I'll catch up to you. |
| 86194 Would you truly see me continue living this half-life, <CHARNAME>? |
| 86195 You ignore the things I've lost. I can only stand here now shrouded in a rotted cloak that reeks of death. I cannot look upon the sun. |
| 86196 Then support me in this. I'll never find happiness in this corpse's shell. |
| 86197 Support me in this, <CHARNAME>. I can never be happy trapped in this corpse's flesh. |
| 86198 "After a fashion"? |
| 86199 The cost is not for you to judge, <CHARNAME>. Let's get this over with, Larloch. |
| 86200 You go, <CHARNAME>. I must see this through. |
| 86201 It's tempting. But no. You carry enough alreadyâ€â€I'll not burden you with my darkness. |
| 86202 I cannot give you what you desire, <CHARNAME>. If I made it seem otherwiseâ€â€well, I'm good at making it seem otherwise. But I'm done using you. |
| 86203 I do not want to carry on like this. |
| 86204 Our time together has been naught but chaos, bloodshed, and death. |
| 86205 You've made the unbearable tolerable, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86206 Perhaps you are right, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86207 Glorious? No. I did what I had to to survive. But everything I knew before Dragomir's Tomb is gone. Everything I built has crumbled to dust. What have I left to live for? |
| 86208 In truth, I do not. In my heart, I know the answer. |
| 86209 Heh. I'll see you the next time you close your eyes, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86210 Too far, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86211 Forget it, <CHARNAME>. And forget me while you're about it. |
| 86212 Damn it, <CHARNAME>! I don't want it to end like this... |
| 86213 The fools who believe Shar and Selûne are different aspects of the same goddess? Send this idiot on her way, <CHARNAME>. You want nothing to do with such silliness. |
| 86214 I can't believe we're here. Do you know what you get when you mix light and shadow, <CHARNAME>? NOTHING. Because shadow is as antithetical to light as Shar worship is to Selûne. |
| 86215 This is intolerable, <CHARNAME>. You cannot allow this undead thing to accompany us. |
| 86216 I shall not suffer this monstrosity's presence! |
| 86217 I shall stay for the time being. But know this, <CHARNAME>â€â€this situation cannot be continued for long. |
| 86218 Enlightened? Impossible. Entertained, perhaps. That is a distinct possibility. |
| 86219 Hah! That is something I'd like to see. |
| 86220 You've made the right decision. The gods do not look kindly on those who tolerate abominations. |
| 86221 She offers naught but damnation. You flirt with your own destruction. |
| 86222 Respect for this abomination? Never. You flirt with damnation, <CHARNAME>! Be rid of her, before it is too late. |
| 86223 You choose this vile aberration over me? So be it. But you are making a grave error, <CHARNAME>. I pray you turn from your path before it is too late. |
| 86224 This is no joking matter! |
| 86225 My only issue is with this vile creature you've chosen to accept as an ally. |
| 86226 You are right. Hexxat, it has been a pleasure to know you, but you must leave now. |
| 86227 I realize she makes you uncomfortable, Keldorn. But I believe she has much to offer. |
| 86228 Hexxat is a woman, Keldorn. Show a little respect. |
| 86229 I can and I will. If you don't like it, you may leave. |
| 86230 Hardly an unusual situation. |
| 86231 Perhaps this time my destruction will go all the way. A <PRO_GIRLBOY> can only hang on so long. |
| 86232 That is my decision. |
| 86233 If you insist on being rude, perhaps you should leave. |
| 86234 As you wish. Hexxat, I'm afraid my paladin here insists that you leave. |
| 86235 I'd sooner be rid of you, you pious sack of dung. |
| 86236 Just give her a chance, Keldorn. Do it for me. |
| 86237 We'll die together, then. |
| 86238 I'm sorry. |
| 86239 I thought I had, but now I'm not so certain. |
| 86240 You'll not allow it? I don't answer to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86241 You can't lose what you never had. |
| 86242 I see no way to avoid it. |
| 86243 You would give up the sun to be with me always. |
| 86244 If you knew what you ask, you would never ask it of me. I'd see you dead before I cursed you to an eternity of darkness. |
| 86245 I'll honor your life, or gift you death. But I'll never make a vampire of you. |
| 86246 Was that all I ever was to you, <CHARNAME>? A means to an end? So be it, then. I'll give you an end, though not the one you wanted. |
| 86247 You promise me, <CHARNAME>? |
| 86248 What you say isn't without merit, <CHARNAME>. This state of undeath offers many advantagesâ€â€but the cost is higher than you realize. |
| 86249 You've nearly convinced me. We'll go forward together as we haveâ€â€me as I am, you as you areâ€â€on one condition. If, one day, I should ask you to end my existence, you must do so with neither hesitation nor regret. |
| 86250 You must, <CHARNAME>. Promise me. |
| 86251 I believe our business is concluded, Larloch. |
| 86252 You've nearly convinced me, <CHARNAME>. We'll go forward togetherâ€â€on one condition. If, one day, I should ask you to end my existence, you must do so with neither hesitation nor regret. |
| 86253 I have spent more than two centuries surviving, and what has that gained me? Everything I knew before Dragomir's Tomb is gone. Everything I built has crumbled to dust. What have I left to live for? |
| 86254 Then let me end this now. |
| 86255 Give me what I've lost, Larloch. I'd see this end. |
| 86256 We're done here, Larloch. |
| 86257 Somehow, I will get by without you. |
| 86258 Last chance, <CHARNAME>. Do you truly wish to join me in undeath? |
| 86259 Very well. This may hurt a little... A lot. |
| 86260 How do you feel? |
| 86261 Get used to the feeling. All things change, but the hunger is constant. When your insides are on fire and every bone in your body screams for blood, remember: This is what you wanted. |
| 86262 You'll get used to it. You don't have much choice. |
| 86263 A little blood will change thatâ€â€for a time, at least. But there will come a time when the thirst is constant. It will seem there's not enough blood in the world to keep your limbs from going cold and dead. When that happens? Then you'll truly understand what you've become. |
| 86264 You say that now, but you don't know. You cannot know... not yet. |
| 86265 You know me too well, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86266 I learn new things quickly. And I've given this much thought. |
| 86267 You deceived me? |
| 86268 I'll not drag you into my darkness. |
| 86269 What you think is no longer any concern of mine. Fare thee well, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86270 I don't appreciate being lied to. Fare thee well, <CHARNAME>. We'll not meet again. |
| 86271 Some day, perhaps. On that day, we may meet again. You'll not see me before. |
| 86272 AFTER A FASHION. |
| 86273 SHE HAS NOTHING TO FEAR FROM ME. BUT THERE IS SOMETHING YOU MUST UNDERSTAND, HEXXAT. |
| 86274 YOUR HUMANITY I CAN RESTORE. THE TIME YOU'VE LOST, I CANNOT. BECOME MORTAL AGAIN AND YOU'LL FEEL THE WEIGHT OF THE LAST TWO CENTURIES UPON YOU. |
| 86275 YOU WILL DIE. BUT YOU WILL DIE AS A MORTAL. |
| 86276 You've accomplished much. You cannot deny it. |
| 86277 YOU'VE MADE YOUR DECISION, THEN? |
| 86278 YOUR DECISION, HEXXAT? |
| 86279 Uh, don't listen to them. This is obviously an emotional time, and I don't think we should |
| 86280 HAVE YOU MADE A DECISION, HEXXAT? |
| 86281 I doubt you'll get what you're after speaking to her thus, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86282 You may see me againâ€â€when your friend here starts to bore you. |
| 86283 ALL DEBTS BETWEEN US ARE BALANCED. YOU WILL NOT SEE ME, OR THIS VESSEL, AGAIN. |
| 86284 THE PACT IS SEALED. |
| 86285 OUR BUSINESS HERE IS COMPLETE. YOU WILL NOT SEE ME AGAIN. |
| 86286 WE SHALL LEAVE NOW. YOU WILL NOT SEE US AGAIN. |
| 86287 AS YOU WISH, BUT UNDERSTAND THIS, HEXXAT: AS OF THIS MOMENT, ALL DEBTS BETWEEN US ARE ERASED. YOU WILL NOT SEE ME AGAIN. |
| 86288 What a waste. |
| 86289 What� |
| 86290 Hexxat was a nice person, as vampires go. I don't really know what to say... I'm sorry for your loss, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86291 She died as she lived, always following her own path. We should all have such clarity of vision and purpose. |
| 86292 There's nothing here to mourn. She got what she desired, and that's the end of it. |
| 86293 She was good at getting that. |
| 86294 I shall give you what you want, <CHARNAME>. I hope you don't come to regret it. |
| 86295 If your friend ever grows stale, remember, you have options. |
| 86296 Excuse me, I need to go puke now. |
| 86297 Do it quickly, all right? |
| 86298 I'm not leaving you alone to face this lich. |
| 86299 That qualifier has a sinister air to it. Explain yourself. |
| 86300 And here comes fine print... |
| 86301 Walk away from him, Hexxat. Walk away and be done with him now. |
| 86302 I don't care to hear what fashion that might be. Neither should you, Hexxat. |
| 86303 I would see you happy, nothing more. |
| 86304 Whatever life you have, I'd see you live it beside me. |
| 86305 Half-life? You're a vampire. I wish I could live as you do, wield the power you wield, see the things you see. |
| 86306 I understand. If you can reclaim that which you've lost, you must take the opportunity. |
| 86307 Why would you want to? It's a bright light in the sky. Bo-ring. |
| 86308 A small price to pay for what you have gained. |
| 86309 If that is your wish, I'll honor it, but you can't expect me to stand here and watch you die. Goodbye, Hexxat. |
| 86310 I'll not let you see it through alone. |
| 86311 Out of the question. I'll not allow it. |
| 86312 Is that what you want, Hexxat? Truly? |
| 86313 You see, Hexxat? There is no life for youâ€â€no mortal life, at any rate. |
| 86314 And that is the end of this conversation. Come on, Hexxat. |
| 86315 I do not want to lose you. |
| 86316 Has our time together truly been so awful? |
| 86317 Carry on like what? A supremely powerful being in a world of prey? Surely there are worse positions to be in. Surely dead, truly and finally dead, is one of them. |
| 86318 It was more than thatâ€â€to me, at least. |
| 86319 Exactly. Things can only get better from here. |
| 86320 Yes. It's been glorious! |
| 86321 But you can bear no more. I understand. I wish I didn't, but I do. |
| 86322 I'll keep doing it too, if you'll let me. |
| 86323 And abandonment is my reward. |
| 86324 If you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. |
| 86325 You really need to ask that question? |
| 86326 Live for me. Give me the vampire's gift, and together we shall reign over the night. |
| 86327 Forgive me, Hexxat. In my fear, I spoke without thinking. |
| 86328 And what will you do about it? Kill me? Go ahead, what do I care? |
| 86329 It doesn't need to end at all. That's a choice you made, Hexxat. You alone, with no consideration for how it would affect those of us who care for you. |
| 86330 I don't want it to end at allâ€â€but that decision apparently isn't mine to make, so have at you! |
| 86331 We could have been something, Hexxat. |
| 86332 I can dream, Hexxat. And I have. Repeatedly. |
| 86333 You owe me, Hexxat. |
| 86334 You embrace death when you should embrace me. If that is truly your wish, I'll not stand in your way. |
| 86335 Look harder, damn it! |
| 86336 I do. Take me as Dragomir did youâ€â€make me a vampire. We can share the night together, for all eternity. |
| 86337 Gladly. |
| 86338 There isn't much I wouldn't give up to be with you. |
| 86339 No great loss. |
| 86340 I'd die before I gave you up. |
| 86341 So be it. Kill me, then. |
| 86342 Give me the gift, Hexxat. I'll not ask again. |
| 86343 Forgive me, Hexxat. I lost myself for a moment. |
| 86344 Then be made human and die. What do I care? |
| 86345 Then you're no longer of any use to me. |
| 86346 I promise. |
| 86347 You're a survivor, Hexxat. No cost is too high if it means you see another dayâ€â€or night, as the case may be. |
| 86348 All Larloch offers you is deathâ€â€that option will always be there, and once chosen, there's no coming back. |
| 86349 Then help me understand. Make me a vampire. We can stalk the night together. |
| 86350 I can do that. |
| 86351 I can't do that. I won't. |
| 86352 I will, but I've a condition of my own. To ensure that I'm there to end your life at the time of your choosing, I must become as you are. You must give me the vampire's gift. |
| 86353 Very well. I promise to see you dead, if and when you wish it so. |
| 86354 I thought there was nothing I would deny you, Hexxat. You've proven me wrong by asking this. |
| 86355 I'll make no such promise. You have always been a survivor. You will not stop now. You don't know how. |
| 86356 I can do that. |
| 86357 I can't do that. |
| 86358 I will, but I've a condition of my own. To ensure that I'm there to end your life at the time of your choosing, I must become as you are. You must give me the vampire's gift. |
| 86359 If you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. |
| 86360 You really need to ask that question? |
| 86361 Live for me. Give me the vampire's gift, and together we shall reign over the night. |
| 86362 It was what she wanted. |
| 86363 For once, we agree. |
| 86364 Shut your mouth, harlot. |
| 86365 I'll have no regrets, as long as I'm by your side. |
| 86366 Don't oversell the experience, Hexxat. I'm already on board. |
| 86367 Regret acquiring the powers of a vampire? Unlikely. |
| 86368 I'll join you in anything. |
| 86369 Truly? No. But I'd rather that than see you gone from my life. |
| 86370 I want nothing more than to feel your icy kiss. |
| 86371 Cold. |
| 86372 Hungry. I could eat a horse. Or at least its rider. |
| 86373 Weak. |
| 86374 It was necessary. |
| 86375 Surprise. |
| 86376 No. I would be with you, whatever the cost. |
| 86377 I appreciate that. |
| 86378 I think that ship has already sailed, Hexxat. |
| 86379 As you wish. I have what I wanted: You will live to see another night. Someday, you'll thank me for deceiving you. |
| 86380 HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND, <CHARNAME>? After everything that happened with Bodhi, you go and get yourself turned into a vampire? |
| 86381 I hope she's worth it, that's all I can say. |
| 86382 I should kick your butt, you bloody great nincompoop! How many times do I have to say it: Don't do something incredibly stupid without consulting me first. |
| 86383 So let me get this straight. You actually wanted to become a vampire. |
| 86384 You're not gonna... eat me, are you? |
| 86385 Hahaha! That's a good one. You're joking, right...? RIGHT...? <CHARNAME>? |
| 86386 Vegetarians, for a start. Oh, hey! Ahaha! |
| 86387 All right. Good. That's good to know. |
| 86388 You realize you smell kind of funky now, right? |
| 86389 Woahâ€â€I'll try, but... man. That is a smell! Hexxat doesn't smell like that; why do you? <CHARNAME>? <CHARNAME>...? |
| 86390 Well, maybe I'll get used to it. |
| 86391 Yeesh. Someone got up on the wrong side of the coffin... |
| 86392 You let her turn you. Dos waele mal'ai. You are a fool, <CHARNAME>. This can only end in dust. |
| 86393 Oh, I'm not going anywhere. There's nothing more pathetic than a fool in loveâ€â€or more amusing. |
| 86394 I know what it is to be an outcast, <CHARNAME>. You have willingly sacrificed your humanityâ€â€for Hexxat, of all people. Someday, you will regret the decision. And you'll have an eternity to do so. |
| 86395 I... don't know what to make of this, <CHARNAME>. I never thought I'd say this, but youâ€â€you scare me now. |
| 86396 You're still the same, but everything's different now. I don't knowâ€â€I need to think on this. |
| 86397 This isn't funny! |
| 86398 I've spent much of my life afraidâ€â€but I didn't think I'd ever fear you. |
| 86399 The path you walk never turns in quite the direction I expect, <CHARNAME>. I am uncertain whether I should continue to walk it at your side. |
| 86400 I will try to keep that in mind. |
| 86401 I've stuck by you this far. I cannot go any further. |
| 86402 I shall. |
| 86403 I want to believe you, <CHARNAME>... Very well. I shall remain with you then, for a time at least. |
| 86404 And to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86405 For you, <CHARNAME>, I was willing to tolerate the presence of a vampire. But I'll not follow a creature of darkness. Fare thee well. |
| 86406 You have made yourself a servant of darkness, <CHARNAME>. This is where we part ways. |
| 86407 It makes you a monster. Were it not for our shared past, I would slay you where you stand. |
| 86408 Then may Torm guide my aim! |
| 86409 Goodbye, <CHARNAME>. If we meet again, it will be for the last time. |
| 86410 My only regret is not slaying that she-dog Hexxat the moment I saw her. You think what she's done has made you powerful? |
| 86411 I know this womanâ€â€it is Clara, is it not? |
| 86412 Not Clara... Hexxat. |
| 86413 I must be mistaken, though your face is strikingly familiar. |
| 86414 My name is... Hexxat. Not Clara. I need to get to... Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 86415 You wish to go to a tomb? Why? |
| 86416 I can help you with that. |
| 86417 If this were any other evening, I'd still say good luck with that. Good luck with that. |
| 86418 Clara, it's me, <CHARNAME>. What has happened to you? |
| 86419 Boo is very disappointed in you. |
| 86420 He'll get over it. Space hamsters are surprisingly resilient. |
| 86421 You've changed, but the heart in your chest still belongs to <CHARNAME>. It just doesn't beat anymore. Which is troubling, now that I think of it. Hm. Well. Don't worry about me. Or Boo. |
| 86422 Boo says you shan't live with anything anymore. He really is quite cross. |
| 86423 You confound me, <CHARNAME>. You are a Bhaalspawn. You have the powers of a god. Why take on the burdens that come with being a vampire? |
| 86424 I can live with that. Which makes one of us. |
| 86425 I can live with that. Which makes one of us. |
| 86426 She's a woman. You could find a hundred, a hundred thousand just like her, easily. |
| 86427 Then I'll say no more about it. |
| 86428 You have made yourself a vampire, eh? Well played. A Bhaalspawn is fearful enoughâ€â€an undead Bhaalspawn will spark terror in the heart of even the mightiest foe. Perhaps I should become a vampire as well. |
| 86429 That is true. I must consider the matter further. |
| 86430 You would not turn me? |
| 86431 You call me a fool? We'll see who's laughing when this is done. |
| 86432 This means I can be with Hexxat, which is all that I desire. |
| 86433 Yeah, this probably wasn't the best idea I ever had. But what's done is done. |
| 86434 I have done as I wished, Imoen. Accept it or don't, the choice is yours. |
| 86435 Yeah. Sorry. I'll keep it in mind for next time. |
| 86436 I wanted Hexxat. This was the only way I could have her. |
| 86437 Of course. Who wouldn't? |
| 86438 What's done is done. I'll not discuss it with you or anyone. |
| 86439 I'd never hurt you, Neera. |
| 86440 Only if there's no one else available. |
| 86441 Not unless I'm hungry. |
| 86442 Hexxat doesn't seem to mind. |
| 86443 Did I say I'd never hurt you? I may have spoke too soon. |
| 86444 Get used to it. |
| 86445 You should be happy for me. |
| 86446 I thought you, of all people, would support me in this. |
| 86447 It was my decision to make, and I made it. If you don't like it, you're free to leave. |
| 86448 You need never fear me, Aerie. |
| 86449 I'm truly sorry to hear that. Boo! |
| 86450 Fear is good. It will keep you alive. |
| 86451 I hope you will remain with me. Your passion and your wisdom would be sorely missed. |
| 86452 Life is change, Rasaad. The sooner you realize that, the happier you'll be. |
| 86453 Damn it, monk. Make a decision and stick with it for once in your misbegotten life. |
| 86454 Please reconsider. I know I have changed, but inside I'm still the same woman I was. I still need your counsel. |
| 86455 I have Hexxat now. I'll get by without you. Farewell, Rasaad. |
| 86456 Go, then, before I make a meal of you. |
| 86457 I am sorry to hear that. Farewell, Keldorn. |
| 86458 Don't do something you'll regret, Keldorn. |
| 86459 You're being foolish, Keldorn. My new condition only makes us stronger. |
| 86460 Then I'm very glad we do share a past. You're the last person I want to fight. |
| 86461 I think you'd better leave, Keldorn. And quickly. |
| 86462 Don't hold back on my account, paladin. |
| 86463 I'm sorry I upset your hamster, Minsc. |
| 86464 And you, Minsc? How do you feel? |
| 86465 A hamster's disapproval is something I'm prepared to live with. |
| 86466 For love, Sarevok. I wouldn't expect you to understand. |
| 86467 Uh, have you seen Hexxat? |
| 86468 You'll never know. |
| 86469 No. I couldn't. |
| 86470 But she's the one I want. |
| 86471 I'll forgive you that this one time, Sarevok. Speak of Hexxat thus again, and you will regret it. |
| 86472 There are disadvantages to the condition, Dorn. I know you dislike having your options curtailed. |
| 86473 It's not for everyone, Dorn. |
| 86474 Good luck finding one willing to add you to their number. |
| 86475 You are as terrifying now as you will ever be, Dornâ€â€in day as well as night. There's little for you to gain from the change, at least at this time. |
| 86476 If you'd like I could try, but I'm still new to this. There's a better than good chance I'd inadvertently kill you. |
| 86477 Me turn you? Is this some manner of jest? |

| 86480 You think this is some kind of joke? |
| 86481 Casque of Entrapment |
| 86482 An observant student of lore will note this was once the Casque of Dragomir, but it has been extensively modified. Elements of the Shroud of the Prophet Unproved and the Claw of the Black Leopard have been incorporated. This new casque radiates an aura of unwholesome necrotic energy. STATISTICS: Weight: 5 |
| 86483 It would seem that L has a habit of abandoning agents who fail to produce results. Not only was Hexxat left in Dragomir's Tomb for hundreds of years, another of his operatives, Phreya, has fallen under the influence of the lich Korkorranâ€â€whom L sent her to destroy. |
| 86484 L's former agent Phreya dogs us through Korkorran's labyrinth. The physical damage of her assaults are bad enoughâ€â€but she seems to be targeting Hexxat for psychological harassment as well. |
| 86485 Journal of Umolex the Far-Eyed |
| 86486 Thumbing through this well-worn journal, you note this entry in particular: "Korkorran is a fool to defy his former master, but it is none of my concern. Should he be destroyed by his former associations, my knowledge of the arcane will still have grown by leaps and bounds under his tutelage. And all I had to do was share a few commonly unknown tidbits about simulacrum creation. Our efforts have resulted in a masterful duplicate, by the by. But enough, I tire and my bed calls out to me. I shall detail my egg-painting exploits tomorrow." |
| 86487 Whoever designed this maze took great pains to ensure no one could travel easily through it. Opening one door closes another... I am sure there is a system at work, but it will take some effort to determine what that is. |
| 86488 In Korkorran's labyrinth, we have encountered a necrotic barrier. Only the undead can pass through it unharmed. Fortunately, we have an undead among us. |
| 86489 A magical barrier prevents us from moving forward through Korkorran's labyrinth. I do not know if there is a way to circumvent the obstacle. |
| 86490 A magical field Dorn calls a necrotic barrier prevents us from moving forward through the labyrinth. According to the half-orc, only the undead can pass through it safelyâ€â€and we do not have one of those handy. I fear our quest has come to an abrupt and anticlimactic end. |
| 86491 A bone golem stood guard over the device that controls the necrotic barriers. Hexxat got past the monster easily enoughâ€â€apparently, it ignores the undeadâ€â€but once the portals were removed, it became substantially more threatening. |
| 86492 The lich Korkorran has proved to be more reasonable than I expected. Without Hexxat, I have no quarrel with it, nor it with me. |
| 86493 Victory is L's. The lich Korkorran has been destroyed, along with Phreya. A curious thing, thoughâ€â€the Casque of Dragomir did not work upon it as Cabrina promised it would. Has L betrayed Hexxat? |
| 86494 Victory is L's. The lich Korkorran has been destroyed, along with Phreya and, regrettably, Hexxat. The Casque of Dragomir did not work upon Korkorran as Cabrina promised it would. Was Hexxat set up to fail by her employer? |
| 86495 Deep in Korkorran's labyrinth, I found a twisted laboratory where the lich apparently conducts sinister experiments. Upon discovering the room, a horde of undead creatures attackedâ€â€I was able to repel them. |

| 86497 Of Simulacrum and Sanity |
| 86498 This ancient tome goes into great detail on the construction and animation of simulacrums, intelligent duplicates made of ice and snow. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 86499 I thought we had defeated Korkorran, but it's clear now that the lich I destroyed was simply a distraction. Our true prey remains hidden within this damnable maze. |
| 86500 The false Korkorran and L's former agent Phreya have been eliminated. But to escape Korkorran's labyrinth, we must first find, then destroy him. Otherwise, we will remain trapped in the labyrinth as Phreya was before us. |
| 86501 We tracked Korkorran to the center of his labyrinth, intending to destroy himâ€â€but all did not go according to plan. He offered Hexxat the same reward L would provide for the lich's destructionâ€â€her humanity restored. She wisely chose to follow L's directivesâ€â€her employer is too powerful to trifle with. |
| 86502 We tracked Korkorran to the center of his labyrinth, intending to destroy himâ€â€but all did not go according to plan. He offered Hexxat the same reward L would provide for the lich's destructionâ€â€her humanity restored. She accepted the offerâ€â€and instantly felt the weight of more than two centuries upon her. Now she is dead, her mission incomplete. |
| 86503 We tracked Korkorran to the center of his labyrinth, intending to destroy himâ€â€but all did not go according to plan. He offered Hexxat the same reward L would provide for the lich's destructionâ€â€her humanity restored. She accepted the offerâ€â€and instantly felt the weight of more than two centuries upon her. Now she is dead, but her mission is completeâ€â€the lich Korkorran will no longer bother L. |
| 86504 It is over. The lich Korkorran is destroyed. And I know now the deal that Hexxat made with Lâ€â€in return for wiping out the lich, he has promised to restore her mortality. |
| 86505 It is over. The lich Korkorran is destroyed, but the cost was precious. I know now that Hexxat's arrangement with L was to restore her lost humanity. If she hadn't accepted the same offer from Korkorran, she might be alive now. Well, not alive, exactly. You know what I mean. |
| 86506 L's rebellious servant, Korkorran, has been destroyed. Soon, Hexxat will have her lost humanity restored by L. But is that what she truly wants? |
| 86507 The mystery of L has been solved, though in truth, I'd be happier if it weren't. The mighty lich Larloch fulfilled his promise to Hexxat, but doing so exacted a terrible price. |
| 86508 The mystery of L has been solved, though in truth, I'd be happier if it weren't. The mighty lich Larloch fulfilled his promise to Hexxat, but doing so exacted a terrible price. I know this was what she desired, but a selfish part of me will always wish otherwise. |
| 86509 The mystery of L has been solved. The mighty lich Larloch was willing to fulfill his promise to Hexxat and restore her mortalityâ€â€but doing so would have killed her instantly. Fortunately, I was able to convince her a vampire's life was worth living, and more. Our lives are intertwined now. We shall be together, for all time. |
| 86510 The sooner we're finished with this nonsense, the sooner we'll be away from here. |
| 86511 Oh, I highly doubt you've any idea what's going through my mind... |
| 86512 As a farce. It will be revealed as a farce. Mark me, <CHARNAME>, when this is done, you'll regret wasting our time with this foolishness. |
| 86513 <CHARNAME>, tell me you aren't seriously considering joining these deranged loons. |
| 86514 He's right, you know. Listen well and you'll learn exactly how stupid people can be. |
| 86515 They realized the truth? |
| 86516 You echo the paranoid fantasies of the heretics, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86517 By making things up, most like. |
| 86518 This drow's attitude is beginning to wear on me. The history and evidence of our faith will be put before you tonight. |
| 86519 I've a problem with it. |
| 86520 My prayers have been answered. By Shar. A real goddess who is capable of doing such things. |
| 86521 Finally, you do the sensible thing! |
| 86522 Were you dropped on your head as a small child? |
| 86523 Evidence of peoples' gullibility, perhaps. Certainly nothing more concrete than that. |
| 86524 Proof? Now that I must see. |
| 86525 A predictableâ€â€and understandableâ€â€response to exposure as a heretic in the Dark Moon's ranks. |
| 86526 Shar's teeth, <CHARNAME>! You actually intend to go through with this, don't you? |
| 86527 What would you know, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 86528 Everything. How did Collus Darathon come to discover the Twofold Truth? Why would you follow him and his new goddess? |
| 86529 I would know everything, but I'd know it from the lips of Collus Darathon. Where can I find him? |
| 86530 I'm eager to learn exactly how much blood your body holds. |
| 86531 I admire your ambition, if not your judgment. Only those who would join the Twofold Trust are told his location. |
| 86532 Then I would join the Trust. |
| 86533 Just halfway against it, if you believe these heretics' claims. |
| 86534 Better I should be struck deaf than to listen to his nonsense. Or better still, that he be struck mute. |
| 86535 A remarkable display of good taste on their part. |
| 86536 It's unfortunate the advocates of the faith he's adopted cannot say the same. |
| 86537 Yes. "Perhaps." |
| 86538 Please, monk, I beg youâ€â€spare us the whimpering adoration of your limp and tiresome goddess. |
| 86539 "Misguided"? This monk has nerve, I'll give him that. |
| 86540 Yes, lay us low in the name of your imagined deity. |
| 86541 You'll find solace in death when the followers of Shar discover your betrayal. |
| 86542 Your sorry tales fool no one, heretic! |
| 86543 Of course not. If he were, he'd be held accountable for his lies. |
| 86544 Tell me you're joking, <CHARNAME>. You cannot take this nonsense seriously. |
| 86545 The critical difference between the two, of course, being that Shar is not the product of some deluded librarian. |
| 86546 Come then, see how hollow a threat we are. |
| 86547 A coward or a madman. Let us not be too hasty to judge this Darathon. |
| 86548 He may as well put the blade 'twixt his own shoulder blades and save the Dark Moon the trouble. Madman or conman, at the very least this Darathon's no fool. |
| 86549 You'll what� |
| 86550 Damn it, <CHARNAME>. We were SO CLOSE to having done with this nonsense... |
| 86551 Any other times and we'd have words over that, <CHARNAME>... |
| 86552 I'd sooner cut my eyes out than open them to this dwarf's truth. |
| 86553 Truly? You should have mentioned this sooner... |
| 86554 The answers are wrong, mindâ€â€but that never bothered you when you followed the Sun Soul. |
| 86555 He has you there, monk. You're a matched pair of fools. |
| 86556 I've no intention of losing anything but an evening to this Twofold drivel. |
| 86557 A false goddess and the wrath of TWO orders of warrior monks. What more could you want? |
| 86558 You heard the monk. Let us waste no more time here. |
| 86559 Umolex |
| 86560 Have no fear on that account. This lamb hasn't strayed too far from the flock. |
| 86561 Very well, <CHARNAME>. I'll play this game a while longer. But my patience is not without limit. |
| 86562 First, we abandon any semblance of rational thought. Then...? |
| 86563 In this instance, gullibility is not considered a weakness. |
| 86564 Something the Sun Soul shares in common with any sensible person who's endured this cult's indoctrination. |
| 86565 Please tell me we're finished humoring these infidels now. |
| 86566 In fairness, it is no less likely than the existence of your Twofold travesty. |
| 86567 Well, traveler? Did you find what you were seeking? |
| 86568 Not yet, but I'm getting closer. |
| 86569 No. I seek Collus Darathon. Where is he? |
| 86570 I'm looking for a dead guard. Deep in my bones, I feel I'm very close to finding one. |
| 86571 The Twofold Truth can be elusive. Stay the course, and you'll get where you want to go. |
| 86572 We are on the right course, but we walk in entirely the wrong direction. |
| 86573 I'm just a guard, <PRO_RACE>. Do you seriously think they tell me anything? |
| 86574 Perhaps not as close as you think! |
| 86575 What're you still doing here? Begone! |
| 86576 Forgive me. I seem to have gotten lost. |
| 86577 I'm begoing! I'm begoing! |
| 86578 I go where I will, when I will, with the decapitated heads of who I will. I'm here regarding the latter. |
| 86579 Next time I see you, you'll get worse than a talking to, you hear me? |
| 86580 Lost? The bridge is right over there, you half-blind nitwit! Go, use it. |
| 86581 You give me cheek? Guess I need to teach you a lesson. |
| 86582 You brought this on yourself, <PRO_RACE>! You can't say you weren't warned. |
| 86583 Culak |
| 86584 T'lassus of the Bones |
| 86585 A striking woman of Chultan descent, Hexxat holds her secrets dear. When pressed, she speaks in vague terms about her mother, a cleric of Ubtao, and the aunts who raised her. Of her life beyond childhood, she says nothing, other than that her immediate assignment was given her by someone known only as L. Discretion is a requirement of Hexxat's profession, and she prides herself on being a consummate professional. |
| 86586 When asked about her past, Hexxat is exceedingly vague. Of her past she says little, when she says anything at all. Her future plans are equally nebulous. It is possible that she once visited Dragomir's Tombâ€â€if she didn't, she is certainly anxious to get there now. |
| 86587 Beyond her acquaintance with the Bhaalspawn <CHARNAME>, little is known of Hexxat, which is doubtless how she preferred it. Cabrina continued to tell stories about the vampire to new agents of Larlochâ€â€but replaced the cautionary tale of her loss in Dragomir's Tomb with the inspirational one of her return seemingly from death to complete the mission she was assigned. Decades later, tales would spread throughout Chult of the Faded Woman, a vengeful, demonic entity who targeted clerics of Ubtao and drained their bodies of blood. Whether there's any truth to the stories or not, Ubtao worship declined drastically on the Chultan continent, ultimately continuing only in small pockets of immigrant communities in cities such as Waterdeep. |
| 86588 Though it's likely Hexxat and <CHARNAME> had many adventures after the incidents of the Bhaalspawn saga, tales of those adventures are hard to come by, and reliable ones harder still. This is doubtless how Hexxat preferred it. Cabrina continued to tell Hexxat's story to prospective agents of Larloch, replacing her two-hundred-year-old cautionary tale with the inspirational one of her return seemingly from death to complete the mission she was assigned. In less guarded moments, Cabrina could be heard to lament losing Hexxat to "that awful Bhaalspawn." When pressed, she would claim Hexxat and <CHARNAME> spent some years traveling together before settling in Waterdeep, where they were key players behind the scenes in that city's noble and criminal fraternities. |
| 86589 Bring me Hexxat, the mysterious thief. |
| 86590 <CHARNAME>. Where is it you've brought me to now? |
| 86591 It's where you go next that's important. |
| 86592 My home away from home. |
| 86593 It's called a pocket plane. |
| 86594 You have a home? |
| 86595 Not since Gorion was murdered. That seems so long ago now... I've hardly thought of him these past weeks. |
| 86596 Well, no, but look at this placeâ€â€do you really think I want to call it home? |
| 86597 It's a figure of speech. |
| 86598 Fair enough. |
| 86599 Why have you summoned me? |
| 86600 I have need of your talents. |
| 86601 I've missed your company. |
| 86602 I'm about to embark on a great adventure. I'd have you join me. |
| 86603 No surprises there. What would you have me do? |
| 86604 Come with me. |
| 86605 Wait here until I have need of you. |
| 86606 I'm not accustomed to waiting on others, <CHARNAME>. For you, I'll make an exception. |
| 86607 Ever the flatterer. Why am I really here? |
| 86608 Acid wit and all, I really have missed you, Hexxat. But I also have need of your skills. |
| 86609 Would you believe I'm about to embark on a great adventure and destiny has bound us together? |
| 86610 I could use a woman of your talents on the adventure I'm about to embark upon. |
| 86611 I'd rather not, so let's skip reasons and get to the heart of the matter. What would you have me do? |
| 86612 Looks like someone's pocket needs turning out. |
| 86613 Phreya |
| 86614 I'm leaving, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86615 You are too easily distracted. I've business that needs my attention. Your little adventures are using up time better spent on other matters. |
| 86616 And I'd rather spend it dealing with matters that more directly affect me. |
| 86617 In truth, you're right. But you're limiting my options. |
| 86618 Really. |
| 86619 Not by me, it doesn't. |
| 86620 It's what you do that counts. |
| 86621 When you're ready to get serious and take on the hard tasks, I'll be at the Copper Coronet. |
| 86622 All I see are resources and effort wasted. |
| 86623 My mind is made up. I'm going. But I'll be watching you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86624 Why would you want to do that? |
| 86625 Really? |
| 86626 You don't want to do that. |
| 86627 What I'm doing is important, Hexxat. It needs to be done. |
| 86628 You're a vampire, Hexxat. You've all the time in the world. |
| 86629 Go, then. No one's standing in your way. |
| 86630 Is there anything I can say to convince you not to leave? |
| 86631 You don't see the value in what we do? None at all? |
| 86632 I don't disagree. Let me prove it to you. Stay with me awhile yet. |
| 86633 Is there anything I can say to convince you not to leave? |
| 86634 You don't see the value in what we do? None at all? |
| 86635 I know better than to try and change your mind. Go, if that's really what you want to do. |
| 86636 You sure you want to do this, <CHARNAME>? |
| 86637 I've seen the way you look at me. I know that look well. |
| 86638 I guess I was mistaken. A pity. |
| 86639 These are dangerous times, <CHARNAME>. Personal entanglements can be a liability for people like us. |
| 86640 Trueâ€â€if you can find the right person. |
| 86641 Watch your step, <CHARNAME>. You tread on dangerous ground. |
| 86642 You're wrong about that, <CHARNAME>. Trust me on that, if nothing else. |
| 86643 We both will. |
| 86644 I've heard that before. Once in a while, it even turned out to be true. |
| 86645 A shame. Some things were made for pushing. |
| 86646 I'm not looking at all. But sometimes we find things regardless, wouldn't you agree? |
| 86647 I understand. |
| 86648 Most like. But I'll try not to disappoint you. |
| 86649 That will make you happier in the end, believe me. |
| 86650 Do what, Hexxat? |
| 86651 I've never been more sure of anything in my life. What are we talking about? |
| 86652 What? |
| 86653 I don't know what you're talking about. |
| 86654 I've seen you look back. I've no idea what that means. |
| 86655 I hope you don't have a problem with it. I don't intend to stop looking. |
| 86656 Not if they're with the right person. |
| 86657 A little entangling never harmed anyone. |
| 86658 What I have in mind doesn't require a personal connection. |
| 86659 I think I may have. |
| 86660 What are you looking for, Hexxat? In a partner, I mean? |
| 86661 If it happens, it happens. I'll not push things. |
| 86662 I trust you, Hexxat. More than I should, most like. |
| 86663 I'll have to be careful, then. |
| 86664 I think you would know. Best not to risk an entanglement, then. |
| 86665 I would. |
| 86666 If you're saying what I think you're sayingâ€â€and I think you areâ€â€then yes. Absolutely. |
| 86667 If you should change your mind and do start looking, I think you'd best look elsewhere. |
| 86668 So I've just paid 4,500 gold pieces for "turn right up ahead"? |
| 86669 So I've just paid 2,500 gold pieces for "turn right up ahead"? |
| 86670 Worn Pamphlet |
| 86671 Hrmm. Mortality. I never did understand the appeal. |
| 86672 I don't like where this is headed. |
| 86673 Definitely don't like where this is headed. |
| 86674 Unfortunately, the Sharrans were prepared for the attack. The Trust was all but wiped out. Shamed by my failure, I left the order to continue pursuing Alorgoth. |
| 86675 Since then, I've continued to hunt Alorgoth, seeking vengeance for my brother's death. |
| 86676 A worshipper of the moon goddess Selûne, the taciturn monk Rasaad's life in service to the Sun Soul order ended in tragedy. He speaks of his brother, Gamaz, in reverent tones, even though Gamaz betrayed the Sun Soul by joining the Dark Moon sect, where he learned to worship Shar at the feet of a man named Alorgoth. Though it was his own hand that slew Gamaz, Rasaad holds Alorgoth responsible for his brother's death. He has committed himself to avenging Gamaz, and it's obvious there is little he won't sacrifice to achieve that goal. |
| 86677 Give them the monk, <CHARNAME>. He ceased to be amusing long ago. |
| 86678 Rasaad? Impossible. He hasn't the stomach, daring, or flair to commit such an act. |
| 86679 Convenient. |
| 86680 Look at their eyes, <CHARNAME>. I know that darkness of old. There will be no reasoning with them. |
| 86681 A sadder claim for the Sun Soul, I cannot imagine. |
| 86682 Madness. |
| 86683 A familiar feeling for any follower of the Sun Soul philosophy, surely? |
| 86684 Indeed. That time was thirty seconds ago. |
| 86685 I scarcely think THAT's possible. |
| 86686 Pay for your sins! |
| 86687 Or stay. We're not all so squeamish about your feelings. |
| 86689 It is but a shadow of the gratitude I'll have should your ceaseless whining ever end. |
| 86690 I'll see you in the ground! |
| 86691 That is not something I can in good conscience recommend to a follower of the Sun Soul philosophy. |
| 86692 Hah! Nothing tempts the monkâ€â€nothing but the possibility of vengeance. |
| 86693 Ideally, I'd not have to listen to this milksop's endless whining over his brother's death. |
| 86694 Yet it's something you never seem to tire of... |
| 86695 Taste my foot! |
| 86696 Damn it all, Rasaad! When will this madness end? |
| 86697 I shall do everything to prove myself worthy to lead. |
| 86698 Your friend asks a good question, Rasaad. When will you realize the folly of the path you're on and return to Selûne's light? |
| 86699 It will end when Rasaad has taken control of the Twofold Trust. |
| 86700 It ends with Alorgoth's death. |
| 86701 I am weary. Let us rest for a while, my friend. |
| 86702 I recognize my folly, but I am helpless to avoid it. My brother must be avenged by whatever means necessary. |
| 86703 If you don't care about your own soul, consider what you're doing to the order. |
| 86704 My heart breaks to think of your losses, Ghell. But I cannot turn back now. |
| 86705 Go with the Moonmaiden's grace, then. May she smile upon you. |
| 86706 We should take some time to rest now lest we lose the opportunity. |
| 86707 Thank you, Ghell. Farewell. |
| 86708 You don't just turn your back on the Sun Soul, you would lead its enemies against us? |
| 86709 I would never take up arms against the Sun Soul order. |
| 86710 In taking control of the Trust, you will lead them back to Selûne's light. |
| 86711 I am a patient man, but that patience is being tried. |
| 86712 Would that they could say the same about you. |
| 86713 Unless they raised their arms against you first, of course. |
| 86714 We will take action soon. Right? |
| 86715 What they say is heresy. Do not listen to their lies. |
| 86716 Alorgoth? What does he have to do with the Twofold Heretics? |
| 86717 Alorgoth leads the heretics, or so Rasaad believes? |
| 86718 It's a long story. Far too long to get into here. |
| 86719 Leave me. I will only slow you down. |
| 86720 Nothing but this: They will both be destroyed at Rasaad's hand. |
| 86721 Rasaad? Is this true? |
| 86722 It is, Ghell. |
| 86723 I shall do what is required. |
| 86724 You have been broken by your brother's loss. The heretics and the Sharrans are at each other's throats. Alorgoth has ordered the Twofold's extermination. If he has anything to do with the Trust, it will be to destroy it, nothing else. |
| 86725 Damn you, Bashir! Your madness has tainted the Sun Soul. Where does it end? |
| 86726 Your friend asks a good question, Rasaad. When will you realize the folly of the path you're on and return to Selûne's light? |
| 86727 It will end when Rasaad has taken control of the Twofold Trust. |
| 86728 It is the will of the goddess. |
| 86729 It ends with Alorgoth's death. |
| 86730 I recognize my folly, but I cannot avoid it. My brother must be avenged, whatever the cost. My heart breaks to think of your losses, Treya. But I cannot turn back now. |
| 86731 I need something to punch or kick. |
| 86732 May the Moonmaiden, in her infinite grace, smile upon you. For my part, I pray never to set eyes on you again. |
| 86733 What is this? Bad enough you turn your back on the Sun Soul, but now you would lead its enemies against us? |
| 86734 I would never take up arms against the Sun Soul order. |
| 86735 In taking control of the Trust, you will lead them back to Selûne's light. |
| 86736 Would that they could say the same about you. |
| 86737 Unless they raised their arms against you first, of course. |
| 86738 Enough! I cannot let such heresy go unchallenged! |
| 86739 There is a price for abandoning one's faith. Sometimes physical, certainly spiritual. |
| 86740 What can I do? |
| 86741 Alorgoth? What nonsense is this you speak? |
| 86742 Alorgoth leads the heretics, or so Rasaad believes. |
| 86743 Very well. |
| 86744 It's a long story. Far too long to get into here. |
| 86745 Nothing but this: They will both be destroyed by Rasaad's hand. |
| 86746 It's true, Treya. |
| 86747 As you wish. |
| 86748 Your brother's loss has broken you, Bashir. The heretics and the Sharrans are at each other's throats. Alorgoth has ordered the Twofold's extermination. To believe he seeks anything other than the heretics' destruction is lunacy. |
| 86749 Consider it done. |
| 86750 Done. |
| 86751 I could handle that. |
| 86752 Excellent. |
| 86753 Simplicity itself for one trained in the techniques of the Sun Soul order. |
| 86754 It would be my pleasure. |
| 86755 Certainly. |
| 86756 That is all? |
| 86757 Uagh! |
| 86758 I fear I am done. Gamaz, my brother, I will see you soon. |
| 86759 It is so peaceful here. My mind is calm, and my heart is not so heavy. |
| 86760 This place is so full of motion and noiseâ€â€it is difficult to focus on what really matters. |
| 86761 Let us do what needs to be done and be done with this place. |
| 86762 The sun is just, but merciless. |
| 86763 Once, Selûne's light calmed my heart and cleared my mind. No longer. |
| 86764 Our enemies will pay a terrible price for this! |
| 86765 You may count upon me. |
| 86766 Let me help you. |
| 86767 What do you want of me? |
| 86768 You cannot defeat me. Surrender now, before it's too late. |
| 86769 Grrk! Y-you know what you are doing. |
| 86770 You are a slippery one! |
| 86771 Nothing? Then I'll try something different! |
| 86772 Each new item restricts my movement further. I can carry no more. |
| 86773 Not the honorable way to do thingsâ€â€but certainly an efficient one. |
| 86774 As long as we are unseen, we are safe. |
| 86775 Tchah! That didn't work. |
| 86776 This should make our enemies think twice. |
| 86777 Hello again, <CHARNAME>. How does this <DAYNIGHTALL> find you? |
| 86778 Join me and I'll tell you all about it. |
| 86779 Well, and looking to stay that way. Perhaps we'll meet again some other time. |
| 86780 That's no concern of yours. |
| 86781 I look forward to it. |
| 86782 Farewell. |
| 86783 Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86784 Goodbye, Hexxat. |
| 86785 I'm not leaving you alone with this thing. |
| 86786 Oh, <CHARNAME>... What have you done? |
| 86787 You know this changes things. It changes everything. |
| 86788 There's plenty here to worry about. That you don't see itâ€â€that is most worrisome of all. I mourn the loss of my friend, <CHARNAME>â€â€but you are not <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 86789 You're wrong. <CHARNAME> is dead. I don't know who you are. |
| 86790 I will mourn you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86791 What love required, no more and no less. |
| 86792 Became a vampire. It was an interesting <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 86793 Exactly what I wanted, the same as ever. |
| 86794 I may not be a <PRO_RACE> anymore, but I'm still me, Mazzy. |
| 86795 You're worrying over nothing. |
| 86796 A small price to pay for what I have gained. |
| 86797 You're looking at me again, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86798 You are. |
| 86799 Looks like that mean nothing but trouble. |
| 86800 It's getting out of it that's the problem. |
| 86801 Did I say I wanted them to stop? |
| 86802 It was inferred. You shouldn't presume to know my mind, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86803 Some things shouldn't be easy. |
| 86804 I'm afraid this isn't one of them. |
| 86805 We doâ€â€a professional relationship. That will have to serve. |
| 86806 And if it isn't? What will you do? |
| 86807 You must never depend on me, <CHARNAME>. I'll only disappoint you. |
| 86808 Yes. They usually do... |
| 86809 They usually do... |
| 86810 Don't presume to know my mind, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86811 Love is the greatest trouble of all. |
| 86812 Perhaps, but it's also a realistic one. |
| 86813 A real arrow will pierce the hardest imaginary armor. |
| 86814 I hope you're right, <CHARNAME>. I truly do. |
| 86815 Fear keeps people alive. |
| 86816 Spoken like someone who hasn't lost theirs. |
| 86817 Take a guess. |
| 86818 Glib words for a serious matter. |
| 86819 What do you think? |
| 86820 Enjoy the game while you're able, darling. |
| 86821 I know you enjoy a challenge, <CHARNAME>. I'm much the same. But some challenges aren't worth the effort. |
| 86822 Maybe I'm protecting you. |
| 86823 You don't know who I am. Not really. |
| 86824 Such a pretty picture you paint. I can't wait to see where this goes next. |
| 86825 Relax, <CHARNAME>. Don't be so grim. |
| 86826 There may be hope for you yet. |
| 86827 Agreed. |
| 86828 Be careful, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86829 You won't always get what you want. Especially in matters like this. Especially when they involve me. |
| 86830 If you truly believe that, you are a fool. |
| 86831 You'd be looking at you too, if you had a reflection. |
| 86832 No. I'm really not. |
| 86833 Love is trouble? |
| 86834 Getting into trouble can be fun. |
| 86835 Best to ignore them, then. But don't expect them to stop. |
| 86836 You see it as a problem? |
| 86837 Who says I'd want to get out? |
| 86838 A worry for another day. |
| 86839 It was implied. |
| 86840 Are you saying you don't? |
| 86841 I thought you did. |
| 86842 Then make things easier, and tell me. |
| 86843 Well, you've put me in my place. And I liked it. Scold me some more! |
| 86844 It's not your mind I presume to know. |
| 86845 There's no reason this can't be. |
| 86846 Some things shouldn't be hard. |
| 86847 This thing should not be hard. |
| 86848 I don't like games. |
| 86849 I'm not afraid of a challenge. |
| 86850 A pity. We could have had something, you and I. |
| 86851 It will do... for a start, at least. |
| 86852 That... may not be enough for me. |
| 86853 As you wish. |
| 86854 That depends on you. |
| 86855 Whatever you'll let me. Maybe juuuust a shade more, if I can sneak it by. |
| 86856 Wait and see. |
| 86857 I find that hard to believe. |
| 86858 Great! I'm unreliable tooâ€â€we can disappoint each other. |
| 86859 Then make things easier, and tell me. |
| 86860 Well, you've put me in my place. And I liked it. Scold me some more! |
| 86861 It's not your mind I presume to know. |
| 86862 That's rather a bleak philosophy, don't you think? |
| 86863 What awful thing happened to you to make you believe that? |
| 86864 It's not entirely without merit. |
| 86865 I see I've got my work cut out for me here. |
| 86866 Pfft. Reality is for the unimaginative. |
| 86867 I can see there's no changing your mind on this. Let's put this idle talk behind us and focus on the business at hand. |
| 86868 Real feelings will touch even the coldest heart. |
| 86869 Sure, but the armor looks REALLY GOOD. |
| 86870 Then let's be real here. |
| 86871 Challenges make life worth living. You'll see. |
| 86872 Living in fear's no life at all. |
| 86873 I've lasted this long without it. |
| 86874 I'll get there. |
| 86875 Your favorite kind, I think. |
| 86876 Hey. There's no reason this can't be fun, as well as awkward, uncomfortable, distressing, and ultimately disappointing. |
| 86877 Don't ever think I'm not taking this seriously. |
| 86878 I think you've been hurt before and don't want to be hurt again. |
| 86879 I think you're playing with me. |
| 86880 I don't want to think. I want to know. |
| 86881 The joy's in making the effort, Hexxat. You'll see. |
| 86882 I think yours will be. |
| 86883 There's only one way to find out. |
| 86884 I don't want your protection, Hexxat. |
| 86885 I think you're protecting yourself. Or think you are, at any rate. |
| 86886 I need no protection. Not from you. |
| 86887 You have something you'd like to ask me, <CHARNAME>? |
| 86888 You looked like you had something on your mind. |
| 86889 Maybe I am. |
| 86890 Put a little effort in, <CHARNAME>. You might like what you get out of it. |
| 86891 And how bad do you want to do that? |
| 86892 What are you suggesting? |
| 86893 How bad do you want to stop me? |
| 86894 Badly enough to kill someone stupid enough to stand in my way. |
| 86895 It's not that I want to stop you. That's just my job, y'seeâ€â€what I get paid to do. Now, speaking hypothetically, if someone wanted me to do a job for them, say, let 'em pass when they don't know the password... |
| 86896 Yes? |
| 86897 Wrong answer, friend. |
| 86898 This entire place is a jest... |
| 86899 Watch yours, human. |
| 86900 Thank you for the demonstration. Idiot. |
| 86901 You again? |
| 86902 Indeed, it is me again. I fear we've gotten off on the wrong foot. |
| 86903 Funny, I was about to say the same thing of you. When does your shift end? |
| 86904 Fear not, this is the last time you'll see me. Or indeed anything else, ever again. |
| 86905 As far as you're concerned, it never ends. Now be off with you. |
| 86906 I'll do that. |
| 86907 Okay, let's cut the crap. I can see you're a serious man. What's it going to take for you to let me cross this bridge? |
| 86908 As far as I'm concerned, your shift ends now, and your life along with it. |
| 86909 Don't think you'll be able to get past just because I'm not here, either. The other guys've been warned. |
| 86910 HELP! HELP! WE ARE ATTACKED! |
| 86911 I think 200 gold should see you across the bridge safe and sound. |
| 86912 I'm glad we could come to an agreement. |
| 86913 During the excruciating agony you're about to endure, I want you to keep this uppermost in your mind: Your life is worth less than 200 gold pieces. |
| 86914 Nah, our feet are all fine. I'm not letting you cross the bridge, 'cuz that's my job. But it's nothing personal, you understand. |
| 86915 I do. The thing is, I really need to cross this bridge. |
| 86916 Well, I appreciate that. Almost as much as I'd appreciate you getting the hell out of my way. |
| 86917 Unfortunately, I'm taking it very personally. And that's going to be a problem for you, albeit a short-lived one. |
| 86918 Sorry, friend. Can't do it. |
| 86919 Very well. I guess I'll just be on my way, then. |
| 86920 Okay, let's cut the crap. I can see you're a serious man. What's it going to take for you to let me cross this bridge? |
| 86921 Stand aside or be walked over. What's it going to be? |
| 86922 You're challenging me? You didn't look the suicidal type, but I guess there really is no telling, is there? |
| 86923 Seems to me you've got yourself a problem, then. |
| 86924 Perhaps you can help me solve it. How much is letting me cross worth to you? |
| 86925 Not as big as the one you're about to have. |
| 86926 Let me give that one a little thought... |
| 86927 Don't strain yourself. |
| 86928 Pass, friend. |
| 86929 What have I come to, <CHARNAME>? |
| 86930 What do you mean? |
| 86931 I'm not certain I understand the question. |
| 86932 I know not, and I'm not of a mind to find out at the moment. |
| 86933 The Tears of Selûneâ€â€they are good people. What does it say when all who I once called friend turn on me? |
| 86934 Not all, Rasaad. |
| 86935 In this case, I'm pretty sure it says someone set you up to take the fall for mass murder. |
| 86936 I don't care what it says. Nor should you. |
| 86937 I want to believe you, <CHARNAME>. But I fear there is more to it than that. |
| 86938 Ah! Forgive me, my friend; I meant no offense. |
| 86939 And I will take noneâ€â€as you should take none from the Tears' willful blindness. They don't want the truth, just someone to blame. |
| 86940 I'll get over it. You will too. |
| 86941 Forget it. I have. |
| 86942 I know from hard experience that you are right. But that rational understanding makes it no easier to deal with. |
| 86943 Would that I had your capacity for apathy, <CHARNAME>. My life would be much simpler. |
| 86944 I wish I was as sure of that as you seem to be. |
| 86945 I wish I could simply |
| 86946 I said forget it, Rasaad. So FORGET IT. |
| 86947 Is this truly how things will end between us, <CHARNAME>? I do not wish for our adventures together to end so prematurely. |
| 86948 I'm afraid so. |
| 86949 An end may come, Rasaad, but it hasn't come yet. |
| 86950 I see. Although I am sad to take my leave of you, I will enjoy the memories we shared. I will use Trademeet as my base of operations, and if ever you need me, please do not hesitate to come. |
| 86951 Ah, you have returned. Do you have another adventure to abduct me into? |
| 86952 Why don't you come with me and see? |
| 86953 I've no time to talk right now. Stay here and I'll return for you directly. |
| 86954 I am... afraid that I cannot join you, <CHARNAME>. While I am pleased to see that you are well, word of your recent deeds makes me reticent to join you. Perhaps we will join together again when you have come back to the path of light. |
| 86955 A lady never tells. |
| 86956 What am I, then? |
| 86957 And nothing more? |
| 86958 I cannot deny that. |
| 86959 My favorite kind. |
| 86960 Give it a shot? |
| 86961 You've pierced my aura of mystery. |
| 86962 We started playing a minute ago. Try and keep up. |
| 86963 You think this is quick? You should see me when I'm really engaged. |
| 86964 Oh, darling. You've seen nothing yet. I don't know if you can handle it. |
| 86965 You couldn't handle it. |
| 86966 Prove me wrong. |
| 86967 Some people like having their strings pulled. |
| 86968 I'll keep that in mind. |
| 86969 You doubt my honesty? I'm hurt. |
| 86970 That is true. But never by someone I trusted. |
| 86971 Whether you believe it or not, I do trust you. |
| 86972 As much as I trust anyone. |
| 86973 What else do you appreciate? |
| 86974 I could distract you, if you'd like. |
| 86975 That's a pity. I did have something on my mind. |
| 86976 You know other ladies? I'm jealous. |
| 86977 You flatter me. |
| 86978 Some things never get old. |
| 86979 You know, if you could kill men as easily as you can kill a moment, no army could stand against you. |
| 86980 You'll never know what you just lost, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86981 For you? Anything. Anything you want. |
| 86982 Gladly. |
| 86983 I... believe you. Hm. That's new. |
| 86984 Let's. |
| 86985 If you change your mind, you know where to find me... but that won't always be the case. |
| 86986 Use your imagination. |
| 86987 Some dreams do come true. |
| 86988 Heh. I'll hold you to that. |
| 86989 I belong to no one but myself. |
| 86990 Let's see what you've got, <CHARNAME>. |
| 86991 Let's find out. |
| 86992 You have me there. |
| 86993 Oh, darling, no. No. |
| 86994 I could pull your strings, if you'd like. |
| 86995 Come with me, <CHARNAME>. Let's find someplace private. |
| 86996 Some other� |
| 86997 Trust isn't something that comes easily to me. |
| 86998 I'll get over it. But I wasn't lying. |
| 86999 It's not the worst I've made. |
| 87000 And I am different? |
| 87001 Tell me how. |
| 87002 Find a way, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87003 From you, I do. |
| 87004 And what matters to you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 87005 I think I do. I don't know what to say, <CHARNAME>... |
| 87006 I don't know what to say, <CHARNAME>... |
| 87007 If you say so. |
| 87008 Oh, darling. You've just made a terrible mistake. |
| 87009 Perhaps. Why do you ask? |
| 87010 Many things. But I doubt I'd get a straight answer. |
| 87011 I don't think so. |
| 87012 I've many things on my mind. Too many. |
| 87013 Maybe you're the one with something on their mind. |
| 87014 Nothing that concerns you, vampire. |
| 87015 Well, are you? |
| 87016 Out with it then. Let's hear what you have on your mind. |
| 87017 I don't care for these games you play. |
| 87018 What would that be? |
| 87019 Show me. Let me see what I might get out of it. |
| 87020 I don't do "might." |
| 87021 You keep one secret too many. This one may cost you. |
| 87022 You're no lady, Hexxat. |
| 87023 You and I must know different ladies. |
| 87024 A player of games. |
| 87025 Whatever you want to be, I expect. But what is it you would be, I wonder? |
| 87026 A means to an end. |
| 87027 What more would you be? |
| 87028 If you want to be more, I'm certainly open to the possibility. |
| 87029 You're playing games with me now. |
| 87030 Good. I wouldn't believe you if you did. |
| 87031 Some games are dangerous. |
| 87032 Games are for children. Act your age. |
| 87033 I prefer cards, but I think I'm ready to give this a shot. |
| 87034 I can't say I'm surprised. |
| 87035 Mine too. Shall we play? |
| 87036 You look better without it. |
| 87037 You don't need it. Not with me. |
| 87038 You are no mystery to me, Hexxat. No mystery I'd waste my time solving, at any rate. |
| 87039 I think we should slow down here. |
| 87040 You move quickly. |
| 87041 You can play with yourself. I want no part of this. |
| 87042 I'd like that. |
| 87043 You aren't engaged yet? |
| 87044 Perhaps someday I will. But not today. |
| 87045 You may be right. |
| 87046 Let's find out. |
| 87047 You think too much of yourself. Or too little of me. |
| 87048 Come here then. Let me show you. |
| 87049 Let's find out. |
| 87050 How? |
| 87051 I'm not some puppet, Hexxat. You can't just pull my strings and expect me to go along with you. |
| 87052 Much depends on who's doing the pulling. |
| 87053 Am I one of them, I wonder? |
| 87054 I'm not one of them. When you're ready to take this seriously, you know where to find me. |
| 87055 I'm sure you'll recover. Vampires heal quickly. |
| 87056 Remember the circumstances of our meeting, Hexxat. You cannot blame me for being cautious. |
| 87057 You've been hurt worse, I'm sure. |
| 87058 Forgive me. I didn't mean to upset you. |
| 87059 You trust me? |
| 87060 Your words are too flattering to be believed. |
| 87061 That means a lot. |
| 87062 Not a high wall to clear, but I appreciate it. |
| 87063 That is a mistake. |
| 87064 How many days do you have? This could take a while. |
| 87065 A comfortable silence. Let's have one now. |
| 87066 How would you do that? |
| 87067 I'm pretty focused right now. What would you do to change that? |
| 87068 I don't. |
| 87069 You've nothing to be jealous of. They cannot hold a candle to you. |
| 87070 They mean nothing to me. |
| 87071 I find that hard to believe. |
| 87072 I only speak the truth. |
| 87073 You're used to it, surely. |
| 87074 You like it. |
| 87075 Things that matter never lose their shine. |
| 87076 You among them. |
| 87077 A shame this conversation isn't one of them. |
| 87078 Show me. |
| 87079 There are men who'd die to hear you speak that lie to them. |
| 87080 Then begone. I have no use for you. |
| 87081 I'll use more than my imagination. |
| 87082 All right. Come here a moment. I want to show you something I just imagined. |
| 87083 I don't want to imagine things. I want to hold them. To touch, to feel them, to know that they are real and they are mine. |
| 87084 Let's. |
| 87085 Let's not. At least not now. |
| 87086 In your dreams, vampire. |
| 87087 Not the way I would like to. |
| 87088 That's just one of the places I'd like to have you. |
| 87089 I've seen what happens to those won over by your charms. I'll not be one of them. |
| 87090 I'm not sure that's a good idea. |
| 87091 And what would that entail? |
| 87092 No one pulls my strings, vampire. |
| 87093 Some other time. |
| 87094 When I say so, Hexxat. And only when I say so. |
| 87095 I appreciate that. I'm happy you feel I'm worthy of trust. |
| 87096 Nor to me. That just makes it more valuable when it's finally found. |
| 87097 Keep it, then. I've no use for it. |
| 87098 You know you are. |
| 87099 Vastly. You are uniqueâ€â€truly an amazing creature. |
| 87100 Not at all. |
| 87101 I don't know how. |
| 87102 How many days do you have? This could take a while. |
| 87103 Perhaps I will, someday. I don't dance for your enjoyment, Hexxat. I'm no puppet. |
| 87104 I think you know. |
| 87105 Many things. Fortune. Glory. You. |
| 87106 Right now? Ending this interminable conversation. |
| 87107 Die quickly, fool! |
| 87108 Fall and stay fallen! |
| 87109 I hunger. Feed me! |
| 87110 Follow my lead and do exactly as I say. |
| 87111 I cannot go much further. It may be time to use Dragomir's Respite. |
| 87112 Your life is less interesting than I thought it would be. |
| 87113 I have business to attend to. Why are we wasting time doing nothing? |
| 87114 Quickly, get me to Dragomir's Respite. |
| 87115 Very well. |
| 87116 As you wish. |
| 87117 If that is what you want. |
| 87118 You are lucky I'm here. |
| 87119 Fear not. I'm watching your back. |
| 87120 What would you have me do? |
| 87121 I am ready. |
| 87122 I am ready. |
| 87123 Very good. |
| 87124 That's the best you can manage? |
| 87125 Certainly. |
| 87126 I can do that. |
| 87127 Impressive. |
| 87128 Hmm. |
| 87129 Easy enoughâ€â€if you know what you're doing. |
| 87131 Dragomir's Respite... I need it... |
| 87132 I dislike the wilderness. It lacks structure. |
| 87133 Ah, yes. Civilization. I can work with this. |
| 87134 You take the lead. I'll watch your back. |
| 87135 Ah! This wretched cloak is suffocating me. |
| 87136 Ah! The light, it's more than I can stand! |
| 87137 I used to love sunlight. But this is my time now. |
| 87138 An unfortunate loss, but not a crippling one. |
| 87139 Leave it to me. |
| 87140 Ha! That's how it's done. |
| 87141 Back off. I'll handle it. |
| 87142 Oh, I AM good. |
| 87143 Hold still, curse you! |
| 87144 All right. The hard way it is. |
| 87145 I am strong, but there's a limit to how much I'll carry on your behalf. |
| 87146 Too easy. |
| 87147 That's right. No one here but us shadows... |
| 87148 Someone's getting an unpleasant surprise. |
| 87149 Sniff? Snork! GRROAR! |
| 87150 I hadn't thought of it that way. All right, you may rejoin me. |
| 87151 You are eloquent as always, but I'm afraid it changes nothing. This is where we part ways. |
| 87152 Hah! I know exactly what you mean. Perhaps another day, we will walk together again. |
| 87153 Growl? |
| 87154 Of course, Wilson. I'd like nothing more than to have you join me. |
| 87155 I'm so sorry, Wilson. Where I am heading, bears will not be welcome. Return to where we met. |
| 87156 Bring me Wilson, the bear paragon. |
| 87157 ROAR! Growl! Roar, roar. |
| 87158 Wilson, my oldest and furriest friend! It is so good to see you again! You seem wellâ€â€certainly in a better state than when first we met. |
| 87159 Mroak? SNORT. |
| 87160 I'd be lost without your counsel. I need you at my side. |
| 87161 Would that that were possible. For now, however, you must return to the forest. Perhaps we shall meet again. |
| 87162 I cannot argue the philosophical point, but in practical terms, nothing has changed. Stay here. I will return for you as soon as I can. |
| 87163 Rff? Snufflesnuff. |
| 87164 Yes, of course. |
| 87165 I fear not. Not yet, at any rate. |
| 87166 A bear of refined taste and delicate sensibilities, Wilson spent his first five years living an idyllic life in the wild. This was shattered when he was captured by a man named Jolstead, a cruel trapper who sold his victims to the highest bidder. Though imprisoned and forced to live in deplorable conditions, Wilson nevertheless retained his innate optimism for the future and a remarkably gentle nature for a bloody great bear. |
| 87167 Among those who speak the animal tongues, the tales of Wilson the bear's adventures are well-known and loved. A defender of the weak and a tireless crusader for peace in a world rife with violence, Wilson's courage and heroism are the stuff of legend in the animal kingdoms. The legends of Wilson passed down through the generations are countless, but a few stand out. A favorite among the deer and gazelle, and to a lesser extent the hyenas, is the story of how he freed countless species from the tyrannical rule of a corrupt Lion Kingdom. After ending his own kind's murderous rampage against fish, he was the first and only mammal ever to be made a saint to the salmon. But perhaps his greatest triumph came when he forged a lasting peace in the ages-old conflict between cats and dogs. For all these things and more, Wilson is remembered fondly by all good and steadfast members of the wild kingdom. He died peacefully during hibernation at the age of thirty-seven, surrounded by family and friends. |

| 87209 Cowl of the Stars |
| 87210 Though the Sun Soul philosophy's adherents avoid violence when possible, this cowl was designed to avoid it after it becomes impossible. When the command word is spoken, a series of small flaming hot globes appear in the wearer's hands that can be thrown unerringly towards a target.

| 87211 Cloak of Unerring Strikes |
| 87212 "A good defense is twice as much offense!", the legendary Herold Mance would frequently say. This was his cloak, and though he died many years ago, his latent abilities seem to have leeched into the fabric. Or alternatively, the cloak was built for him and was the reason for his success with wielding two swords at once. It is unlikely historians will ever know. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – THAC0: +2 with off hand Weight: 3 |
| 87213 We've much work to do, my friends. Take this time to tend to the wounded, then eat and rest. Come the morning, we will rebuild. |
| 87214 I can tell you'll do well here, Rasaad. |
| 87215 Are you sure you want to stay here? You'll be dead of boredom within a week. |
| 87216 It's not too late to change your mind about this nonsense. |
| 87217 I hope you're right, <CHARNAME>. Fare thee well. |
| 87218 I cannot tell you what our time together has meant to me, <CHARNAME>. Even now, there is a part of me that yearns to join you on your adventures. But I must stay where the need is greatest. |
| 87219 May Selûne smile twice upon you, my friend. |
| 87220 I've got 50 gold that says we meet again before the year is out. |
| 87221 So be it. |
| 87222 She's more likely to grimace. |
| 87223 Fare thee well, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87224 I look forward to that day. |
| 87225 So, will my services still be needed here or not? |
| 87226 Doesn't look like it. |
| 87227 Feh! |
| 87228 Praise the goddess! |
| 87229 All hail Rasaad! |
| 87230 Rasaad stands true in the light and the shadows. |
| 87231 A new day dawns for the Trust. |
| 87232 May the goddess smile twice upon you, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 87233 'Twixt light and darkness, there lies the truth. |
| 87234 A real beating from a fictitious deity. That would be a good trick. |
| 87235 I am glad to hear you have finally abandoned this Twofold nonsense. |
| 87236 Those who would be honest must choose between them. |
| 87237 You still hold Shar's lies to your heart. I pity you. |
| 87238 Your failure is inarguable, though I doubt you truly understand its nature. |
| 87239 I seek the truth in both cold and the heat. The earth and the sky. The cheese and the wine... |
| 87240 They will serve you better than a working brain, though. |
| 87241 Hm. It seems the heretics are not entirely wrong about EVERYthing... |
| 87242 Please, <CHARNAME>, I beg youâ€â€tell me we have reached the end of this ridiculous Twofold nonsense. |
| 87243 A false invention of a lunatic or con man, and starved for followers on top of it. Who could possibly resist the charms of this Twofold cult? |
| 87244 Their trespasses against the cult must have been severe indeed. |
| 87245 To put it mildly. |
| 87246 Do not be so quick to judge, <CHARNAME>. It's not as though we deal with rational people here. |
| 87247 Enjoy your pointless torment! |
| 87248 It is amazing how being tied to the ground and exposed to the elements for an extended period of time opens the mind. |
| 87249 Your own idiocy did that long ago. |
| 87250 But she is perfectly satisfied with the naive, the stupid, and the mad. |
| 87251 It saddens me that a bear is the most intelligent person you're likely to find 'round here. |
| 87252 Shar's teeth. We have traveled to the middle of nowhere on the word of a madman. |
| 87253 Now? Now is the time you choose to recognize the foolishness of this effort? |
| 87254 And they will present themselves somewhere other than here. Which, not coincidentally, is where we should also be. |
| 87255 This is madness, <CHARNAME>. We should not be here. |
| 87256 Are you finished with this absurd charade now, <CHARNAME>? Because I certainly am. |
| 87257 No. I have come this far with you, <CHARNAME>, but I'll go no further. This place will feel Shar's wrath, you mark my words. I'll not suffer the same fate as these Twofold fools. |
| 87258 I hope this spells the end of this absurd charade, <CHARNAME>. I know I, for one, am finished with it. |
| 87259 Waitâ€â€you believe the monk? We shall have words about this, <CHARNAME>. Count on it. |
| 87260 Night Walkers |
| 87261 Damn you, <CHARNAME>. I trusted you, and look what you've led me to! |
| 87262 What madness is this now? The monk was right, Alorgoth and Darathon are one and the same? |
| 87263 Master Alorgoth! Please, hear my words! |
| 87264 Who is this who speaks to me now? |
| 87265 I am Viconia DeVir, a true and loyal servant of Shar. |
| 87266 So you say now, but who did Viconia DeVir declare loyalty to an hour past? |
| 87267 To Shar and Shar alone, I swear it! I came here only to see the heretics rooted out of their hiding place. |
| 87268 Then prove your loyalty to Shar. Strike her enemies down! |
| 87269 I... I... |
| 87270 Forgive me, <CHARNAME> |
| 87271 Your inaction damns you, DeVir! ATTACK! |
| 87272 One is more than I am willing to fight on this wretched cult's account. Come, <CHARNAME>â€â€we must flee while there is still time! |
| 87273 This fool would not know the back of his hand if it slapped him. His judgment is worthless. Let us be away from here, now! |
| 87274 A refreshingly sensible course of action. Let us waste no time in its implementation. |
| 87275 If you expect me to attack the followers of Shar, then I guess you do not know me as I well as I thought. |
| 87276 That is an opportunity that might never come. We must leave now if we've any hope of escaping the Dark Moon. |
| 87277 I'll not cringe in some corner, hoping my own people pass me by. I am leaving now. If this place hasn't dulled your wit to complete insensibility, you will join me. |
| 87278 There is... no time. |
| 87279 One is more than I am willing to fight on this wretched cult's account. Come, <CHARNAME>â€â€we must flee while there is still time! |
| 87280 This fool would not know the back of his hand if it slapped him. His judgment is worthless. Let us be away from here, now! |
| 87281 You are mad, <CHARNAME>! I will not sacrifice myself on the altar of this false goddess, and damn you if you think different! |
| 87282 I'll not cringe in some corner, hoping my own people pass me by. I am leaving now. If this place hasn't dulled your wit to complete insensibility, you will join me. |
| 87283 You certainly won't stand with me if you remain here. |
| 87284 Shar's teeth... are about to bite down upon us. |
| 87285 What madness is this now? The monk was right, Alorgoth and Darathon are one and the same? |
| 87286 Master Alorgoth! Please, hear my words! |
| 87287 Who is this who speaks to me now? |
| 87288 So you say now, but who did Viconia DeVir declare loyalty to an hour past? |
| 87289 To Shar and Shar alone, I swear it! I came here only to see the heretics rooted out of their hiding place. |
| 87290 Then prove your loyalty to Shar. Strike her enemies down! |
| 87291 I... I... |
| 87292 Forgive me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87293 Your inaction damns you, DeVir! ATTACK! |
| 87294 I am Viconia DeVir, a true and loyal servant of Shar. |
| 87295 Please, <CHARNAME>â€â€save the questions till we're well away from here. |
| 87296 Damn you for making me choose 'twixt you and my fellow Sharrans, <CHARNAME>! |
| 87297 A poor choice, drow! Kill her! |
| 87298 There's something I need to tell you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87299 If it could wait, I wouldn't bring it up in the first place. |
| 87300 It could be. |
| 87301 I find myself... feeling things. Things I'd rather not feel. |
| 87302 These sorts of feelings can be dangerous. I spent a lifetime avoiding exactly the sort of entanglement I now find myself considering. |
| 87303 Forget I said anything. |
| 87304 You mock my feelings. I would do the same were I in your place. |
| 87305 You truly believe that? |
| 87306 I deserve no better, letting myself fall inâ€â€letting this happen. |
| 87307 I was careless. When I get careless, people die. I would not see that happen to you. |
| 87308 Good. Then we'll say no more about it. |
| 87309 I think you know where I stand. How do you feel about it? |
| 87310 You would make me say it? |
| 87311 What are you going to do about it? |
| 87312 And when that's done? What then? |
| 87313 That is not the answer I was looking for, <CHARNAME>. But it is the one I needed. This discussion is overâ€â€in fact, it never happened. |
| 87314 It NEVER happened. I trust we understand each other. |
| 87315 You can only avoid this for so long, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87316 That is not what I wanted to hear. It is, however, what I needed to hear, and I'm thankful for that. This discussion is over. In fact, it never happened. |
| 87317 We aren't friends, <CHARNAME>. We are professional colleagues. Nothing more. I trust we understand each other. |
| 87318 We're both professionals. I trust we'll both do what we need to do to see the job done. |
| 87319 Then you will have a decision to make. |
| 87320 The time has come and gone, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87321 My decision is made. We would not be talking about this otherwise. |
| 87322 And? |
| 87323 No, don't be sorry. |
| 87324 You're mad. |
| 87325 You are joking. |
| 87326 I almost did. This discussion is over. In fact, it never happened. |
| 87327 Feelings are never obvious. Not for people like us. |
| 87328 Agreed. |
| 87329 Is that all we share? |
| 87330 That may not be enough anymore. |
| 87331 Good. I'm glad we got that sorted out. |
| 87332 Here it is, then. During our time together, I've come to have certain feelings for you. Feelings which I am unaccustomed to. |
| 87333 I think I might. As I said, this is not something I am used to. |
| 87334 Love you? No, Iâ€â€I mean... Damn it. |
| 87335 You feel the same? |
| 87336 I do as I will, <CHARNAME>. With your leave or without it, I care not. |
| 87337 It's a madness we share, then. The first of many things we'll share, I suspect. |
| 87338 I... We... We can't be in love. It doesn't work like that for us. |
| 87339 I respect you, <CHARNAME>. Respect you deeply. |
| 87340 All right, <CHARNAME>. If you would take the risk, I will do no less. Let us see what the future holds. |
| 87341 I'm all yours, Hexxat. What's up? |
| 87342 That sounds dire. |
| 87343 Can it wait? |
| 87344 Better to feel something than nothing at all. |
| 87345 You want a healing potion? |
| 87346 You want to discuss feelings? I thought you were better than that. Begone. |
| 87347 Change can be a good thing. |
| 87348 And who would you be entangled with? |
| 87349 We'll not be getting entangled, I can assure you of that. |
| 87350 No, no. Please. Go on. |
| 87351 Wait, wait. I was just joking. |
| 87352 As you wish. |
| 87353 I would never mock you, Hexxat. |
| 87354 We share a sense of humor. |
| 87355 Mock your feelings? Impossible. You have no feelings. |
| 87356 You say that like it's a bad thing. |
| 87357 Letting what happen? |
| 87358 Whatever you've fallen in, I'm sure you'll climb out again, in time. I've long admired your climbing skills. |
| 87359 That makes two of us. |
| 87360 You can't control everything in your world, Hexxat. I know that won't stop you from trying, but it's still the truth. |
| 87361 Dying isn't in my plans. |
| 87362 I'm afraid the cat's out of the sack now. We have to discuss this. |
| 87363 All right, though I'm not entirely sure what we're saying no more about. |
| 87364 Agreed. |
| 87365 Are my feelings not obvious? |
| 87366 You think I know where you stand? Think again. |
| 87367 I have no feelings one way or the other. |
| 87368 I'm afraid so. |
| 87369 You need say nothing more. I understand. |
| 87370 Some things are better left unsaid. I believe this is one of them. |
| 87371 I think the question is what are WE going to do about it. |
| 87372 Whatever you'll let me. |
| 87373 Nothing. Nor should you. |
| 87374 I don't know, Hexxat. What then? |
| 87375 We'll burn that bridge when we cross it. |
| 87376 Then we'll do it again. |
| 87377 What? |
| 87378 Come on, Hexxat. There's no reason to be like that. |
| 87379 Is this going to affect our friendship? |
| 87380 All right then, here it is: I love you. I have loved you for a long time now. It is my heart's deepest desire that I spend all the rest of my days by your side. |
| 87381 I'm sure you're right. But you can believe I'm going to find out exactly how long that is. |
| 87382 That remains to be seen. |
| 87383 Don't be that way, Hexxat. We can still be friends. |
| 87384 There's no need for this to affect our working relationship. |
| 87385 Then WE will have a decision to make. |
| 87386 I've made my decision, Hexxat. I made it quite some time ago. |
| 87387 When the time comes, I will make it. |
| 87388 I made my decision a long time ago. |
| 87389 So you love me. That's what you're saying. |
| 87390 And in Shar's eyes, I am surely damned. |
| 87391 After all he's done, you need to ask? |
| 87392 I make the decisions here, Hexxat. Not you. |
| 87393 How you can spout such platitudes without sickening yourself is beyond me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87394 If you truly need to ask: I am deeply in love with you. Have been for a long time now. It is my heart's deepest desire that I spend all the rest of my days by your side. |
| 87395 Isn't it obvious? |
| 87396 The man who turned to a false goddess offers a purpose. That is rich. |
| 87397 Yes. The false goddess's cult needs morally flexible men of weak faith. You were practically made to serve the Twofold. |
| 87398 There is nothing between us. I'm sorry. |
| 87399 He's not fit to lead a flock of sheepâ€â€not that these sheep seem particular about their shepherd. |
| 87400 No god is better than a false one. |
| 87401 This prancing fool is not worthy to stand with a beaten dog, much less us. For your sake, <CHARNAME>, I shall tolerate his presence... for now. |
| 87402 You cannot be serious, <CHARNAME>. His heart has done nothing BUT lead him wrong. |
| 87403 What, you say the fictitious whims of an imaginary deity are no longer enough to fight for? |
| 87404 Who better? Alorgoth invented this ridiculous cult, after all. Why shouldn't his hand-chosen pawn lead it? |
| 87405 I'm in love. It amounts to much the same thing. |
| 87406 Am I? So be it. |
| 87407 Wrong answer, Hexxat. |
| 87408 No. It would be easier if I was. |
| 87409 Yes! But I had you going, didn't I? Admit it, you almost believed me. |
| 87410 I open my heart to you and this is what I get? |
| 87411 It was only a joke. Don't be like that. |
| 87412 This shouldn't affect our friendship. |
| 87413 If you truly need to know: I am deeply in love with you. Have been for a long time now. It is my heart's deepest desire that I spend all the rest of my days by your side. |
| 87414 You started this, Hexxat. You must be the one to finish it. |
| 87415 Some things are better left unsaid. It's safer that way. |
| 87416 No. Of course not. |
| 87417 Isn't that enough? |
| 87418 You know what we share. |
| 87419 What exactly are you trying to say, Hexxat? |
| 87420 I know it's not your nature to be direct, Hexxat. But in this instance, if no other, pleaseâ€â€try to overcome your natural tendencies. |
| 87421 It will have to be. |
| 87422 You love me. |
| 87423 Say no more, Hexxat. I love you too. |
| 87424 I'm sorry, Hexxat. I just don't feel that way about you. |
| 87425 You'd better start. |
| 87426 I understand it gets easier, in time. |
| 87427 Nor should you. I don't know what sort of fantasy world you've been living in, but ours is a professional relationship. And that is all it will ever be. |
| 87428 Isn't it obvious? |
| 87429 I do. I have for a long time now. |
| 87430 No, of course not. You're a vampire. I could never love a creature like you. |
| 87431 I say we can. If we choose to make it work. |
| 87432 Says who? |
| 87433 As you wish. We'll say no more about it. |
| 87434 If it rids us of the monk, you can count me as for it. |
| 87435 Still they sing their fool goddess's praises. Unbelievable. And I mean that in every possible way. |
| 87436 After all he's done, you need to ask? |
| 87437 How you can spout such trite clichés without sickening yourself is beyond me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87438 Not that you could fall much further. |
| 87439 Rasaad? He couldn't lead a flock of sheepâ€â€not that this flock is picky when it comes to their shepherd. |
| 87440 Seriously? His heart has brought him nothing but grief and despair thus far. |
| 87441 This prancing fool is not worthy to stand with a beaten dog, much less with us. For your sake <CHARNAME>, I shall tolerate his presence... for now. |
| 87442 Neera |
| 87443 You would have me leave, <CHARNAME>? |
| 87444 Is there nothing I can do to change your mind? |
| 87445 I have many... talents... that may be of interest to you. |
| 87446 When you change your mindâ€â€and you willâ€â€you know where to find me. |
| 87447 I suggest you think again. |
| 87448 I think so. |
| 87449 I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go. |
| 87450 I have made my decision. Begone. |
| 87451 I don't think so. |
| 87452 A tempting quasi-offer, but my mind is made up. See you around, Hexxat. |
| 87453 An intriguing proposal. Very well, you may stay, at least until I've a chance to judge these talents for myself. |
| 87454 Good <DAYNIGHTALL>, <CHARNAME>. How have you been? |
| 87455 Neera's Staff +1 |
| 87456 This finely crafted and intricately engraved quarterstaff was "improved" upon by Neera herself. Her intent was to create a staff that would inflict fiery pain upon its victims, but she fell slightly short of that goal. While it can light enemies aflame, there is also the chance that the staff will backfire and incinerate its wielder. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – When the staff strikes a target, there is a 10% chance that either the target or the wielder will take 1 point of fire damage. THAC0: +1 Damage: 1d6+1 (crushing) Speed Factor: 3 Proficiency Type: Quarterstaff Type: Two-handed Requires: 5 Strength Weight: 4 |
| 87457 You'd have me once again? |
| 87458 If that should ever happen, you won't miss it, <CHARNAME>. Believe me. |
| 87459 Not enough, I think. But you may get there. |
| 87460 A predictable turnâ€â€but not an unwelcome one. |
| 87461 Is that an invitation? |
| 87462 I am delighted to hear it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've business to attend to elsewhere. |
| 87463 We may no longer be professional colleagues. There's no reason we can't still be friends. |
| 87464 As you wish. |
| 87465 We can be whatever you wish. |
| 87466 Try me. I may surprise you. |
| 87467 That IS a pity. You don't know what you're missing. |
| 87468 I'm glad you think so. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've business to attend to elsewhere. |
| 87469 I would have been better with you at my side. I've missed you. |
| 87470 I've been fantastic. You really should have seen meâ€â€I was quite, quite remarkable. |
| 87471 That's no concern of yours. |
| 87472 I would. |
| 87473 Have I had you in the first place? I must have missed it. |
| 87474 No. I have done fine without your company and expect to continue doing so. |
| 87475 I do. |
| 87476 I look forward to it. |
| 87477 It won't ever happen. |
| 87478 I believe it is. |
| 87479 Just an observation. I've been rather brilliant lately. |
| 87480 Not for you. |
| 87481 You can never have too many friends. |
| 87482 Were we ever friends, Hexxat? |
| 87483 I think there is. |
| 87484 A hollow promise, I think. |
| 87485 Somehow I doubt that. |
| 87486 Then we will be nothing. |
| 87487 Very well. Let's see what surprises you have for me. |
| 87488 I don't like surprises. |
| 87489 Please... don't make me leave. There is... great treasure. At Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 87490 But... you must. Dragomir's Tomb holds great treasure. |
| 87491 We'll go to... the tomb... Dragomir's Tomb, now? |
| 87492 There is great... great treasure there. |
| 87493 You can stay with me, but you must forget about visiting this tomb. |
| 87494 I'm sure there is, but I really can't go there now. |
| 87495 I have no interest in visiting a tomb, nor in your company. Begone. |
| 87496 I'm sorry. I can't do it. |
| 87497 Well, when you put it that way, I'd have to be a fool to reject you. |
| 87498 I give the orders here, Hexxat. Not you. |
| 87499 Yes. |
| 87500 If it'll get you to shut up about it, yes, let's go to Dragomir's Tomb. |
| 87501 Time heals all wounds, or so they say. But let's not dwell on the past. What do you need from me? |
| 87502 You can. I will not, and if you intend to pester me about it further, I want nothing more to do with you. |
| 87503 You must... must come with me to Dragomir's Tomb. There is... great treasure there. |
| 87504 You will come with me... to the Tomb? |
| 87505 There is great treasure there. |
| 87506 I will join you. For now, I must... retâ€â€go to Dragomir's Tomb soon. There is a great treasure there. |
| 87507 You are not well, milady. It would be best if you came with meâ€â€you're like to get yourself hurt otherwise. |
| 87508 Great treasure, you say? Let us waste no more time in this place, then. |
| 87509 Take your tales of treasure and begone, you deranged trollop. |
| 87510 Later, perhaps. When you're feeling better. |
| 87511 What, right now? |
| 87512 No. You will come with me where I choose to go. |
| 87513 I can see we'll have little to discuss until we've visited this tomb of yours. Let us get it over with. |
| 87514 Perhaps someday we'll see it for ourselves. For now, just stay close to me. |
| 87515 You may be right. As I will not be going there, I'll never know. |
| 87516 Yes, I believe you mentioned that earlier. Let's go see it. |
| 87517 Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go get it? |
| 87518 There had better be. |
| 87519 Sending me away now is a mistake, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87520 So be it. When things go sour, remember you could have had me as an ally. |
| 87521 You need my skills, my strength, now more than ever. |
| 87522 I have nothing more to give. |
| 87523 It could be yours. |
| 87524 It's your call, <CHARNAME>. But you're making the wrong one. |
| 87525 No reward comes without risk. |
| 87526 You're making the right decision, <CHARNAME>. You won't regret it. |
| 87527 I will stay with you, then? |
| 87528 Hello, <CHARNAME>. It is good to see you again. |
| 87529 What have you been up to without me? |
| 87530 Time is something I have in abundance these days. |
| 87531 I think I would. |
| 87532 Have no worries. You'll not see me long. |
| 87533 I pride myself on defying expectations. |
| 87534 That sounds like an invitation. |
| 87535 Then I might accept it. |
| 87536 You've one way to find out. |
| 87537 Goodbye, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87538 Your loss, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87539 It has ups and downs. I'm good at entertaining myself. |
| 87540 Oh, <CHARNAME>. You have no idea. |
| 87541 You never were one for small talk, were you? |
| 87542 What makes you think I want to join you? |
| 87543 We'll make a good team. |
| 87544 I'm sure I can think of something. |
| 87545 Then let's forgo casual and talk of weightier issues. |
| 87546 You would say that, though, wouldn't you? |
| 87547 I don't think so. |
| 87548 It's one I'm comfortable making. Begone. |
| 87549 Perhaps you're right. Stay with me, for a while, anyway. I will consider the matter further. |
| 87550 What if I want more than that? |
| 87551 I need no one, Hexxat. If you don't know that by now, you don't know me at all. |
| 87552 I guess I'll have to be satisfied with that, then. |
| 87553 That's not enough for me. Go, now. Please. |
| 87554 Then go. I would look upon you no more. |
| 87555 Then you may stay with me for a timeâ€â€at least until I discover what I can and cannot have. |
| 87556 I'm no gambler, Hexxat. |
| 87557 "Could"? I have no use for could. Leave. Now. |
| 87558 All right. Stay with me awhile longer, then. |
| 87559 I would risk much for you. Too much, I think. |
| 87560 Some rewards aren't worth the risk. Go, get out of my sight. |
| 87561 We shall see. |
| 87562 I hope you're right. |
| 87563 I better not. |
| 87564 Aye. For now, at least. |
| 87565 No. You and I are finished. |
| 87566 And you, Hexxat. |
| 87567 I am happy to see you too. I've missed you more than I expected. |
| 87568 Would that I could say the same. |
| 87569 Nothing worth talking about. Things were more exciting with you at my side. |
| 87570 That will take some time to tell. |
| 87571 That is none of your concern. |
| 87572 Perhaps you'd like to spend some of it with me. |
| 87573 That must be terribly boring. |
| 87574 I shall leave you to it. Farewell, Hexxat. |
| 87575 And if it were? |
| 87576 I guess it is. Would you like to join me? |
| 87577 It isn't. |
| 87578 I'll take the risk. Would you be willing to join me in my travels? |
| 87579 "Might"? |
| 87580 Play games with someone else, vampire. I've no patience for them. |
| 87581 Whatever awaits me, I would have you stand beside me. |
| 87582 I could use a woman like you, Hexxat. Have you any use for a <PRO_MANWOMAN> like me? |
| 87583 I don't care enough to know. Farewell, Hexxat. |
| 87584 You're good at a lot of things. |
| 87585 I bet I could entertain you better. |
| 87586 Then I shall leave you to it. |
| 87587 I'd like to get one. |
| 87588 Well, now you have to join me. |
| 87589 A loss I'm prepared to live with. Farewell, Hexxat. |
| 87590 I've many talents, but casual conversation is not among them. |
| 87591 Who has time for small talk? |
| 87592 No. Farewell. |
| 87593 I am an optimist. What do you say? Would you like to join me? |
| 87594 Who wouldn't? |
| 87595 You're saying you don't? |
| 87596 Let's forgo conversation altogether. It's actions that define us. You should accompany me on my travels. |
| 87597 Indeed. But let's not do it here. I've much to do and little time in which to do it. |
| 87598 No. Not with you. |
| 87599 Stop. Turn around and go. There is nothing here for you. |
| 87600 Wait! I know Neera. |
| 87601 I'm here to help. I'm a wild mage myself. |
| 87602 Relax, friend. I am here to help. |
| 87603 Neera is nearby. She can vouch for me. |
| 87604 I will be the judge of that. Let me in. |
| 87605 Good for you. Now go away! |
| 87606 Yes, I can sense it. But we're not offering sanctuary to unknown mages at the moment. |
| 87607 Wait! I know Neera. |
| 87608 Neera is nearby. She can vouch for me. |
| 87609 You'll get to know me more well than you'd like if you don't let me pass. |
| 87610 Very well. Farewell for now. |
| 87611 We need no help from strangers. Turn around lest I strike you down! |
| 87612 Wait, wait! Neera is coming; she can vouch for me. |
| 87613 You would die before you had a chance to lift a finger, mageling. |
| 87614 Then where is she? Why isn't she with you? |
| 87615 Are you daft? The power in this camp would rip you apart. This conversation is over. Begone! |
| 87616 I'm HOOOME! |
| 87617 You cannot enter. Turn around. |
| 87618 Hey, hey, Hayes! Gods, ha ha! That never gets old, does it? Oh, good to see youâ€â€and you too, Telana. Sorry it took me so long to get back. Long story short, I gave away my last talisman, teleporting didn't work, and I had to walk here from the city. This person helped clear a path through the woods. |
| 87619 Stop giving them dirty looks, Hayes. You have no reason to be suspicious. They're a good sort. |
| 87620 I can see you giving them your best dirty looks, Hayes. Nice work, but no reason to be suspicious. They're a good sort. Well, maybe not "good," exactly. Good at getting things done. |
| 87621 Hmm. PERHAPS I misjudged you. I'm Hayes. |
| 87622 Pardon my husband. It is a pleasure to meet you, <CHARNAME>. I am Telana. |
| 87623 A pleasure to meet you as well, Telana. And you, Hayes. |
| 87624 Greetings. |
| 87625 Let's skip the pleasantries. Why am I here, Neera? |
| 87626 Great! I can really feel the bonhomie. Best get down to business quick, though. |
| 87627 As you might have guessed, we need help against the Thayans. They have an organization that's kidnapping, studying, and doing who-knows-what-else to wild mages. They call it the Order of Eight Staves. |
| 87628 Telana, Hayes, and I created the Hidden Refuge about a month ago. It's more than a sanctuary: It's our little way of organizing efforts against the Red Wizards. I haven't been back in a while, so Telana probably has some newsâ€â€do you have any questions before she tells us what's been happening? |
| 87629 How did you three meet? |
| 87630 Tell me more about the Order. |
| 87631 No. Tell us the latest news, Telana. |
| 87632 I'd just come to Athkatla, and I saw these two in the Bridge District. There was something familiar about them. Wild magic users are pretty fascinating, turning heads wherever they go, you know? Or maybe the smell of singed hair tipped me off. |
| 87633 Don't be silly, Neera! You weren't nearly close enough to smell us, and I hadn't had a wild surge for days. |
| 87634 Oh right, thanks. Warning, <CHARNAME>! Telana is SO literal-minded. If you tell her she needs to catch forty winks, the next thing you know she'll be pawing carefully at her eyes. |
| 87635 Understood. Now where were you? |
| 87636 On second thought, I don't need to hear any more about this. |
| 87637 Oh right. So Hayes and Telana noticed me following them and thought I was an agent of the Order. They cornered me, and we all let loose. The only reason we didn't fry each other was because the Cowled Wizards showed up. They gave us their little warning, the three of us started talking, and we realized what we had in common. The rest is history. |
| 87638 Anything else you wanna know? |
| 87639 Tell us the latest news, Telana. |
| 87640 Beyond their eagerness to hunt us down like stray kobolds... we don't know much. Their interest in wild magic certainly does seem extraordinary. I mean, I'm a wild mage, right? But I'm into other things, too. Really long walks, carrying lots of gems and crossbow bolts, men with beards... the list goes on. But the Order is obsessed. |
| 87641 So it sounds. |
| 87642 (Stroke your beard while nodding.) |
| 87643 The woman you saw, Lanneth, seems to be their leader, at least in Amn. It seems like every Thayan I've ever met is another Thayan's puppet. Who knows who's really pulling her strings? |
| 87644 Very well. After you left, Neera, I was able to recruit two wild mages. With your rescue of Mereth |
| 87645 She got here safe, then? Oh, that's great! Mereth is the little girl I gave my talisman to in Athkatla, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87646 Right. With Mereth and the two new wild mages, there are now eleven of us. I tried to recruit one more, an elven mage named Daxus, but he refused. |
| 87647 Really? Did your husband give him a dirty look? |
| 87648 No. He said that he was too famous and too powerful to be kidnapped by Red Wizards. He doesn't really understand the danger of the Order. Another problem that's come up: Knocktorâ€â€that's our magical artificer, <CHARNAME>â€â€has run out of materials for the Talismans of the Hearthfire that teleport us to the camp. |
| 87649 I see. Well, <CHARNAME>, I'm glad you're hereâ€â€sounds like we've got lots of work to do. Feel free to look around the camp and talk to people. If you do want to help out, Knocktor would be a good person to start with. |
| 87650 Thank you, Neera. I am glad to help. |
| 87651 I suppose I ought to look around. I still haven't decided if this is worth my time. |
| 87652 I see. Well, <CHARNAME>, I'm glad you're hereâ€â€sounds like we've got lots of work to do. Feel free to look around the camp and talk to people. If you do want to help out, Knocktor would be a good person to start with. Do you want me to come along? |
| 87653 Yes. That makes the most sense, doesn't it? |
| 87654 Not right now. I'll look for you here if I need you. |
| 87655 We'd be grateful for any help you could give. Please speak to me before you leave the refuge. I think Daxus could be in grave dangerâ€â€it'd be wonderful if you could convince him to come here soon. |
| 87656 I hope we can do something. I've always wanted to help a grassroots organization take action against a powerful oppressor! |
| 87657 Hello again, <CHARNAME>. I hope looking around has convinced you to help. |
| 87658 The elven mage I mentioned, Daxus Taralom, is at Delosar's Inn in Athkatla's Bridge District. I'm not sure how he spends his days, but evenings he can be found in the inn's common room. Please go and convince him to come to us! He's certain to attract the Order's attention soon, if he hasn't already. |
| 87659 Consider it done. |
| 87660 I may do this. What can I expect for my efforts? |
| 87661 I don't have time for this. |
| 87662 Thank you so much. My husband is journeying to Athkatla for supplies. I'll make sure his visit overlaps with yours. Ideally, you'd use one of Knocktor's talismans to send Daxus to us, but if Knocktor can't forge one in time, Hayes can escort him here. Hayes will be south of Delosar's if you need him. |
| 87663 I'll set out immediately, then. |
| 87664 I need to take care of a few things first, but you can trust me to get this done. |
| 87665 The Hidden Refuge doesn't have much material wealth, but we do have some powerful and... very unique magic items. We'll find something suitable for you, I assure you. |
| 87666 Very well. I will help. |
| 87667 That sounds dubious. I don't think I have time for this after all. Farewell. |
| 87668 No? That's too bad. Please speak to me again if you change your mind. |
| 87669 Good, good. Do you have any questions before you get going? |
| 87670 I'd like to hear more about Hayes. He is your husband? |
| 87671 Tell me more about Daxus. How will I recognize him? |
| 87672 How do you feel about the Hidden Refuge? |
| 87673 Has Neera been helpful? |
| 87674 No, there is much work to be done. Farewell. |
| 87675 Yes, and he is a good man to put up with all this. I know he'd rather be back in Athkatla or in Trademeet, but our talents as wild mages mean we can't live ordinary livesâ€â€not until the Thayan threat in Amn is gone, anyway. He may seem gruff, but as his wife, I can tell you that he is tolerant and kind. |
| 87676 Ah, <CHARNAME>. Have you changed your mind? |
| 87677 Yes. What exactly do you need me to do again? |
| 87678 No. |
| 87679 Any other questions? |
| 87680 I'd like to hear more about your husband, Hayes. |
| 87681 Tell me more about Daxus. How will I recognize him? |
| 87682 How do you feel about the Hidden Refuge? |
| 87683 Has Neera been helpful? |
| 87684 No, there is much work to be done. Farewell. |
| 87685 An odd characterâ€â€but look at the company I keep. He seemed... overconfident. Like many wild mages I've met, he has an independent streak that's less a streak than an entire canvas. You'll see what I mean when you meet him. Don't worry about being able to recognize him. That won't be a problem. |
| 87686 Neera is passionate about it, and her passion is somewhat contagious. |
| 87687 SOMEWHAT contagious? Thanks for the ringing endorsement, Telana. |
| 87688 I just wish it weren't necessary. Hayes and I are willing to do whatever it takes to keep our magical brothers and sisters safe, but I would rather have a quiet home in the city than hide out here. But the refuge is far, far better than rotting in some Red Wizard's laboratory. |
| 87689 Hold it! You never told me you were gonna ask for references, <CHARNAME>! |
| 87690 More than helpful. |
| 87691 See? |
| 87692 The Hidden Refuge simply wouldn't exist if not for her. It was her idea to set up camp here, to install the magical wards, and to recruit other wild mages to the cause. |
| 87693 Farewell, <CHARNAME>. Tymora be with you, and may you find Daxus less stubborn than I did! |
| 87694 Good to see you again. Did you have questions? |
| 87695 I'd like to hear more about your husband, Hayes. |
| 87696 Tell me more about Daxus. How will I recognize him? |
| 87697 How do you feel about the Hidden Refuge? |
| 87698 Has Neera been helpful? |
| 87699 No, there is much work to be done. Farewell. |
| 87700 <CHARNAME>. Sorry I was abrupt earlier. Uhâ€â€did you need something? |
| 87701 Hello, Hayes. I had some questions for you. |
| 87702 No, nothing. Farewell. |
| 87703 Okay. Shoot. |
| 87704 Tell me about Telana. |
| 87705 Tell me about yourself. What did you do before all this? |
| 87706 You seem unhappy here. Why is that? |
| 87707 Can you tell me anything about the other wild mages? |
| 87708 Has the Order been much trouble? |
| 87709 Never mind. Farewell. |
| 87710 She's my wife. You've met her. If you want to know more about her, she's standing right over there. |
| 87711 I see. Can I ask you something else? |
| 87712 Ah. Thanks for the advice. Farewell. |
| 87713 I was a merchant. Telana and I had a place in Athkatla and a small country home near Trademeet. Now I'm poor, hunted, and in no position to be doling out favors. But that's why I'm here, isn't it? For the sake of charity? |
| 87714 Perhaps you should have been made of sterner stuff. |
| 87715 You don't seem to value your mission very highly. |
| 87716 That's too bad, Hayes. Can I ask you something else? |
| 87717 Interesting. Farewell. |
| 87718 You should mind your own business. |
| 87719 Perhaps. But before I start, could I ask another question? |
| 87720 I've no time for your insolence. Farewell. |
| 87721 I made money trading in clothes and textiles. Now, as you can see, I stand in the middle of the woods and guard lunatics. |
| 87722 That's quite a change. Can I ask you something else? |
| 87723 Yes. I suppose you should get back to it. Farewell. |
| 87724 It's not really my mission, is it? Chance brought me here. |
| 87725 Don't mind Hayes. He plays the role of surly grandpa around here. |
| 87726 Anything else, or are we done? |
| 87727 I do have something else to ask. |
| 87728 No, that's all. Farewell. |
| 87729 Nothing nice. If you're curious about them, talk to them. |
| 87730 Very well. Could I ask you something else? |
| 87731 Maybe that's what I'll do, then. Farewell. |
| 87732 That's why we're here, isn't it? |
| 87733 Of course. Let me ask you something different. |
| 87734 Right. Farewell. |
| 87735 Don't you have someplace you need to be? |
| 87736 Welcome, welcome! Neera brought you, so I trust you're a good sort. She has done so much for me, for Telanaâ€â€for everyone! I am Knocktor, also known as Knocktor the Fizzled. Not the most complimentary sobriquet, but apt. What can I do for you? |
| 87737 Greetings, Knocktor. Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself? |
| 87738 Hello, Knocktor. You say "fizzled" is apt? Why is that? |
| 87739 Telana and Neera both mentioned you make the talismans that teleport the mages here. |
| 87740 <CHARNAME> here. Do you have any magical items for sale? |
| 87741 Nothing at the moment. Farewell. |
| 87742 Me? Well, I was among the first to see the wisdom in setting up camp here. I think I speak for us all when I say I hope it's a temporary measure, that the threat from Thay will passâ€â€or at least diminish. But while it is strong, I feel we have no choice but to band together and do what we can to protect our own. |
| 87743 As for meâ€â€what can I say? I'm from Purskul, a trade city here in Amn. I've a fair hand with metal and woodâ€â€some have called me a craftsman. I call myself a tinker; it's a bit less pretentious. I do have a knack with certain magic items. |
| 87744 Ohâ€â€very well! If you have a moment, though, I do need some help procuring reagents for my talismans. Speak to me again if you're interested. |
| 87745 Have you ever seen wild magic at work? If you have, consider yourself lucky: It rarely works at all. I'm particularly prone to having spells fizzle. |
| 87746 I have a theory that the magical energy that seems to fizzle is really just stored up inside me. It helps me do what I do bestâ€â€craft magical trinkets. But it's just a theory, and it's possible I developed it to make myself feel better. |
| 87747 Is there anything else you wanted to discuss? |
| 87748 Tell me a bit about yourself. |
| 87749 Why do they call you "the Fizzled"? |
| 87750 Tell me about the Talismans of the Hearthfire. |
| 87751 Do you sell any of your magical crafts? |
| 87752 No, that is all for now. Farewell. |
| 87753 The Talismans of the Hearthfire? Yes, I do. Unfortunately, Mereth used the last of them. |
| 87754 They can only be used once, and the components to create them are quite costlyâ€â€but in these dangerous times, they are necessary. I don't suppose you'd be willing to search for and donate some of the things I need? |
| 87755 I would be happy to help in any way I can. |
| 87756 Tell me what they are. |
| 87757 No, I have far better things to do. |
| 87758 Pardon, pardon! I did not mean to impose. I'll still be here if you change your mind. |
| 87759 Wonderful, wonderful! I hope you do not have second thoughts when you hear what the items are. |
| 87760 One Talisman of the Hearthfire requires a silver necklace, two diamonds, and 3,000 gold pieces. I don't spend the gold. I melt it down and must have a large supply so I get things just right. |
| 87761 Very well. Consider it done. |
| 87762 With all that, you could make jewelry fit for a duchess! I suppose I will try to help. |
| 87763 I am an adventurer, not itinerant royalty. I will consider it, but don't hold your breath. |
| 87764 Excellent. Return to me with the items, and I should be able to make a talisman in short order. |
| 87765 Ha! You're right, but we are far from dukes and duchesses, aren't we? If you do get me the items, I can make a talisman in short order. |
| 87766 I understand. If you do happen to return with the items, I can make a talisman in short order. |
| 87767 Alas, no. Most of the items I make these days would not be of much use to adventurers. Crafting such things is within my power, but I have my work cut out for me mending and making things for the camp. |
| 87768 It is good to see you, <CHARNAME>. Is there something you wish to discuss? |
| 87769 Hello again, Knocktor. I'd like to hear more about you. |
| 87770 Yes. I'm curious: Why do they call you "the Fizzled"? |
| 87771 Indeed. I want to know about the Talismans of the Hearthfire. |
| 87772 I was wondering: Do you sell any of your magical crafts? |
| 87773 No, I just wished to see how you were. Farewell. |
| 87774 Ah, <CHARNAME>! Just the person I was hoping to see. Are you ready for me to make a Talisman of the Hearthfire? |
| 87775 Yes, I have everything you need. |
| 87776 No, that's not why I'm here. |
| 87777 No, I was just passing by. Farewell. |
| 87778 Splendid! Everything is in order. All I have to do is |
| 87779 And there you are! One Talisman of the Hearthfire. Use it wisely, as you will only be able to use it once. |
| 87780 I just wanted to thank you, personally, for all the effort and gold you put into helping me create that talisman. It was a very noble deed, and a pricy one, I know. I will not forget it! |
| 87781 You're welcome, Knocktor. You know, it occurs to me I know little about you. Care to tell me more? |
| 87782 Of course. Why do they call you "the Fizzled," by the way? |
| 87783 You're very welcome. Do you have any magical crafts for sale? |
| 87784 You're welcome. Farewell. |
| 87785 The camp has been destroyed, but footprints in the ash and other signs indicate it has not been deserted. |
| 87786 You've returned... but look what you've returned to. All that we worked for, everything we sacrificedâ€â€up in smoke. Everything. |
| 87787 I am sorry, Telana. Tell me what happened. Did the Red Wizards do this? |
| 87788 What happened here?! |
| 87789 The time for tears is over, Telana. Tell me what happened. |
| 87790 Harsh words, <CHARNAME>. Tears cannot simply be willed away. |
| 87791 Thank you for your kindness, <CHARNAME>. Yes, it was the Order. |
| 87792 What do you think? The Order happened. |
| 87793 Iâ€â€I'm in shock. I can't believe this. Oh, this isn't real. This CAN'T be real. Where did they go? We have to find them! We have to! |
| 87794 I am so, so sorry, Neera. I will do what I can to make this right. You have my word. |
| 87795 We will, Neera. But let us hear the full story. |
| 87796 This place was a deathtrap. You should have seen it coming. |
| 87797 Tha-thank you. But you can't make it right. Nothing can. I will kill those who did this. Telana, tell us what happened. |
| 87798 Yes. Tell us what happened, Telana. I will kill whoever did this. |
| 87799 WHAT?! You say that to me in the face ofâ€â€of THIS? What is wrong with you? Why... wh-why would you even say that? |
| 87800 They're right, Neera. It WAS a deathtrap. We were easy pickings for the mages. |
| 87801 The Red Wizards must have tested our defenses for days. We should have realized our traps were no match for Thayan cunning and arcane might. They came upon us swiftly and suddenly. |
| 87802 The Wizards had magical protection and spells that undermined our own. Their mercenaries did the dirty work. We were knocked out, taken alive, and dragged to their lair in Athkatla. I alone managed to escape and find my way back here. |
| 87803 The Wizards were prepared. They had magical protection and spells that would undermine our own. Mercenaries did the dirty work. We were knocked out and dragged to their lair in Athkatla. We were the only ones able to free ourselves and find our way back. |
| 87804 What about Hayes? Was he here for the assault? |
| 87805 I... I fear the worst. |
| 87806 I am so, so sorry, Telana. If he's alive, we'll save him. |
| 87807 Thank you, Neera. I know you'll try. |
| 87808 How did you escape? It must have been difficult. |
| 87809 Where did they take you? |
| 87810 We convinced Daxus to come back here. How is he? |
| 87811 What do you think should be done? |
| 87812 It wasn't as difficult as you might think. When I awoke, I was restrained but not yet imprisoned. I cast a spell that loosened my bonds, then slipped out quietly. Thankfully, the enclave is small. I soon lost myself in the bustle of Waukeen's Promenade. |
| 87813 The enclave's in Waukeen's Promenade?! |
| 87814 We convinced Daxus to come back here. How is he? |
| 87815 I've heard enough. What do we do now? |
| 87816 To their enclave in Waukeen's Promenade. |
| 87817 How did you escape? |
| 87818 The enclave is in Waukeen's Promenade?! |
| 87819 We convinced Daxus to come back here. How is he? |
| 87820 I have heard enough. What should we do now? |
| 87821 Yes. They sell magical wares there to support their activities in Amn. Apparently, they worried that imprisoning us wild mages would disturb the Weave and attract the Cowled Wizards' attention. |
| 87822 They're not worried now. The Red Wizards seem to have known we were here for some time. They were only waiting to strike until they raised enough cash to buy the Cowls off. |
| 87823 How did you escape? |
| 87824 We convinced Daxus to come back here. How is he? |
| 87825 I've heard enough. What's the plan? |
| 87826 We need to go to Athkatla, find the Red Wizard lair, and burn it to the ground. We need to rescue everyone and make the Thayans pay with their lives. |
| 87827 I agree, Neera, but we also need to think clearly. |
| 87828 That's all? What are we waiting for? |
| 87829 "We"? If I decide to do this, I don't want you tagging along. |
| 87830 I'm thinking plenty clearly. I clearly think the Red Wizards must die hot, itchy deaths! |
| 87831 What else can you tell us, Telana? What else do we need to know? Be quick! |
| 87832 The Red Wizard Enclave is at the northeast end of Waukeen's Promenade, near a small temple of Ilmater and the Mithrest Inn. I'll stay here and try to get things in order. It's as safe as anyplace else, and if any others escape, they may come here. |
| 87833 Then we know our next destination. Thank you and farewell, Telana. |
| 87834 We will make our way there in time. Goodbye, Telana. |
| 87835 I feel so terrible for him. We should have listened to him: He would probably have been safer entertaining guests at Delosar's. As you can see, he isn't here. The Red Wizards probably have him. |
| 87836 How did you escape? It must have been difficult. |
| 87837 Where did the Order take you? |
| 87838 I see. What should we do now? |
| 87839 In time? How about NOW? |
| 87840 You're right. We'll head there immediately. |
| 87841 We must marshal our resources. The Red Wizards are not to be taken lightly. |
| 87842 I call the shots, Neera. Remember that. |
| 87843 I... I'm glad you're helping. Let's go. Even if they're protected against my magic, I will find a way to kill them. I'll strangle them with my bare hands if that's what it takes. |
| 87844 We must proceed with caution. The Red Wizards are devious. They will expect retaliation. |
| 87845 Seeing you like this fills me with grief, Neera. I will do everything in my power to help. |
| 87846 Your anger is righteous, wild mage, but do not let vengeance cloud your thoughts. |
| 87847 Ah yes, vengeanceâ€â€vengeance and guilt. I know the combination well. |
| 87848 I don't need you, <CHARNAME>! I'll do this myself! |
| 87849 No! Do not throw your life away, Neera. I need you here. If the others come, they will need you too. <CHARNAME>, I hope you reconsider. Come back if you doâ€â€then you and Neera can find the enclave together. |
| 87850 Very well, I've changed my mind. She may accompany me. |
| 87851 Fine. Perhaps you'll see me again. Farewell for now. |
| 87852 Don't count on it. Farewell. |
| 87853 Lanneth |
| 87854 Mereth |
| 87855 Ellis |
| 87856 <CHARNAME>. I beg you, take Neera to the enclave with you. She has not been herself. Pleaseâ€â€this is something she must do. |
| 87857 Warwick |
| 87858 Greetings, friends. Hello, Neera. I hope all is wellâ€â€or as well as can be. |
| 87859 Telana |
| 87860 Is there something I can do for you? |
| 87861 Hayes |
| 87862 Indeed. What can you tell me about the enclave again? |
| 87863 Knocktor the Fizzled |
| 87864 Tell me again what it is you want me to do? |
| 87865 Reginald |
| 87866 No, nothing. Farewell. |
| 87867 Amanis Khal |
| 87868 The Red Wizard Enclave is on the northeastern end of Waukeen's Promenade, near the Mithrest Inn. It specializes in selling magical wares to special clients. A mercenary guards the door. Our wild mages are almost certainly captives within, held by the Order. |
| 87869 Kirik Khal |
| 87870 Barad Ding |
| 87871 And what exactly would you have me do about it? |
| 87872 "King" Gramm |
| 87873 Thank you, Telana. |
| 87874 Mironda |
| 87875 You're welcome. May Tymora continue to favor you. |
| 87876 Zaviak |
| 87877 Enter the Red Wizard Enclave and rescue the captives. And if you can further weaken the Order's presence in Amn, by all means do so. |
| 87878 Daxus Taralom |
| 87879 And where is that enclave, again? |
| 87880 Fadell Ironeye |
| 87881 Speaking Snake |
| 87882 Greetings. I am Amanis Khal, lately of Calimshan. This is my son, Kirik. Welcome to the Hidden Refuge. I overheard Telana speaking to you; I hope that you can help us. |
| 87883 You must have many questions. If you have any for me, I'd be pleased to answer them. |
| 87884 How did you come to be here, Amanis? |
| 87885 You are from Calimshan? |
| 87886 I have none at the moment. Farewell. |
| 87887 Not long ago, I fled to Athkatla with my son. I took a room that overlooked the water. It was quiet, but I was very afraid the Red Wizards would find me and Kirik. I was also afraid that I would soon run out of money. |
| 87888 By chance, I overheard another guest at the inn, an elf named Daxus, discussing a "wild mage camp." You cannot imagine my astonishment! He was speaking to Telana. I interrupted, explained myself, and implored her to take us here. Kirik has the talent too, you knowâ€â€a fact with which I struggle. |
| 87889 That is my tale, or part of it. Would you like to know anything else? |
| 87890 What happened to Kirik's father? |
| 87891 Nothing more for now. Thank you, Amanis, and farewell. |
| 87892 Yes, I am a Calishite, originally from the great city of Calimport. As a traveling performer, however, I have not stayed in any one place for long since I was a child, though I never left Calimshan till recently. |
| 87893 Alas! His death is partly why I am here, so far from the country that I know and love. He was also a wild mage, and together we used our unique gifts to entertain. I know now how foolish and dangerous this was! But performing gave us places in the world and the chance to raise our son well. |
| 87894 Emissaries of the Order saw one of our performances and killed my husband on the spot. I was lucky and escaped, fleeing with my Kirik to Amn... Forgive me for crying! We have a saying in Calimshan: "The ocean is made of a mother's tears." |
| 87895 Greetings once again, <CHARNAME>. |
| 87896 Oh, <CHARNAME>! Help me! My Kirik is goneâ€â€gone! |
| 87897 Of course I will help! Calm down and let me know what happened. |
| 87898 Calm yourself. How can I help you? |
| 87899 Gone? You should not have let him out of your sight! |
| 87900 You are too cruel! Butâ€â€it is true! Please help. |
| 87901 Hayes said he saw him, my Kirik, byâ€â€by the edge of the camp, playing. He may be lost in the woods, with all our traps and tricks! Or perhapsâ€â€perhaps he was kidnapped by the Order! |
| 87902 We will do whatever we can to find your son. |
| 87903 Kidnapped by the Order? That seems unlikely. My guess is that he's lost; I'll find him. |
| 87904 I cannot do this for you right now. Farewell. |
| 87905 What?! You would abandon him to his fate? Please do not! Please reconsider! |
| 87906 You have returned! Will you seek out Kirik? |
| 87907 Yes, we will do what we can. |
| 87908 Not at the moment. Farewell. |
| 87909 Thank you for agreeing to help! Go to the woodsâ€â€go quickly, please! |
| 87910 You are right, you are right. It would not make sense. The Wild Forest may be just as deadly as the Order for a young boy, though. Go there, quickly, please! |
| 87911 Please find him! Please find my boy! |
| 87912 Ah, may Ilmater bless you! You have found my boy, my darling boyâ€â€the only thing I have left in all the world. Kirik! Do not EVER run away again! |
| 87913 ...Sorry, Mama. |
| 87914 There, there. We should dry our eyes, Kirik! We are safe now, thanks to them. From now on, I will do whatever I can to keep you safe. No wandering, do you hear? And perhaps I should forbid you to use wild magic. |
| 87915 I am not sure that is wise. Wild magic is a part of him. He can't just give it up. |
| 87916 I agree, Amanis. Wild magic is too dangerous. |
| 87917 Do not rob him of his birthright, Amanis. You have little else to pass on. |
| 87918 Good idea. Your pup needs a tighter leash. |
| 87919 Perhaps you are right, <CHARNAME>. I should not make rash judgments. It was not even wild magic that led to this, after all! I'll not keep him from practicing itâ€â€but I will be watchful. Farewell, and thank you once again. |
| 87920 Wild magic wins again! ...If only it was always so good at winning. |
| 87921 Only a fool would let a child practice magic; only a criminal would let a child practice wild magic. |
| 87922 Indeed. It is for his own good that he learns to relinquish his power at a young age. Please, accept this shield as a gift. My husband was skilled in combat as well as magic, and it belonged to himâ€â€but Kirik will have no need of it, for he will lead a safe life! Farewell, and thank you once again. |
| 87923 Nice shield, but you just gave Kirik good reason for a VERY rebellious adolescence. |
| 87924 You gave that woman sound advice, <CHARNAME>. Only fools would encourage children to practice magic; only a criminal would allow a child to practice wild magic. |
| 87925 Um... hi? |
| 87926 Why, hello there. |
| 87927 Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. Who are you? |
| 87928 Forget it, child. Goodbye. |
| 87929 Um... hi... |
| 87930 What is your name, boy? |
| 87931 I am here on important business. Can I ask you a question? |
| 87932 Goodbye, child. |
| 87933 Kir... Kirik. |
| 87934 Kirkirik, eh? That's quite a long name you have. |
| 87935 I am here on important business. Can I ask you a question? |
| 87936 I see. Goodbye, Kirik. |
| 87937 Nuh-uh. No! Bye! |
| 87938 Not Kirkirik! KIRIK. |
| 87939 Well, my name is <CHARNAME>. What do you think of that? |
| 87940 Hello, Kirik! I am here on important business. Can I ask you a question? |
| 87941 Oh, I get it now. Thanks! Bye bye, Kirik. |
| 87942 <CHARNAME>? That's a silly name! |
| 87943 Silly? Why is it silly? |
| 87944 Well, I think Kirik is a silly name! |
| 87945 You're probably right. Well, nice to meet you, Kirik. I must get going. |
| 87946 It sounds like... like a baby name. |
| 87947 Are you mocking me? That's not nice. |
| 87948 Well, I think Kirik is a baby name! |
| 87949 No way! I'm Kirik. I can beat up... a lot. Even pirates. I have a chest full of coins. |
| 87950 Perhaps you can show me this chest? |
| 87951 Well, I can beat up dragons. And I have a chest full of dragon gold! |
| 87952 No! Stay back! I've got a knife! I won't go with you! |
| 87953 Good for you, Kirik. I'd better be going now. |
| 87954 Really? Oh, wow! I'm going to go beat a dragon now too! |
| 87955 Okay, Kirik, but be careful! Dragons are hard. |
| 87956 I don't want to talk anymore. |
| 87957 Hey, you! I beat the dragon, and now I have dragon gold too. Want to play a game? |
| 87958 How about tag? |
| 87959 If you have some parchment and twenty-sided dice, I know a great game we can play… |
| 87960 I'm sorry, Kirik, but I'm busy. Maybe later. |
| 87961 So many rules! But it's fun! |
| 87962 It's great, isn't it? But don't stop nowâ€â€you've almost made it to the dragon. |
| 87963 Isn't it, though? We'll have to do it again sometime. |
| 87964 Okay. Bye! |
| 87965 Tag is for babies! |
| 87966 If you have some parchment and some twenty-sided dice, I know a great game we can play… |
| 87967 Fine then! I don't want to play a game with you! |
| 87968 Really? Oh, wow! Tell me what happens next! |
| 87969 Iâ€â€I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I want to go home… Can you take me home? |
| 87970 Shhh, child. It's going to be all right. |
| 87971 You should not have wandered out here by yourself, boy. |
| 87972 Th-thank you. Yes, please take me home! I want to go home! I want to see Mama. |
| 87973 I kn-know. I'm sorry. So sorry! Please take me homeâ€â€I want to go home! I want to see Mama. |
| 87974 Th-thank you for saving me. I heard what you said to Mama about wild magic. I know I'm little, but I really like it! Thanks for telling her I was strong enough for it. |
| 87975 H-hey, why don't you take this? It's a sling Knocktor made me. He told me not to tell Mama, but I feel bad having it now... It's really neat! Thanks again. Bye bye! |
| 87976 Th-thank you for saving me. Iâ€â€I have to go! |
| 87977 Mereth is really great! She can use wild magic too. |
| 87978 Mereth is really great. I wish I could use wild magic like she can. |
| 87979 Come, child. There's no need for this. Your mother is with usâ€â€she's waiting for you! |
| 87980 You're lying! My mother isn't with you; she's... she's... |
| 87981 She sent us to fetch you, my dear! Take my hand and you shall see. |
| 87982 Warwick, Ellis... watch the sides. |
| 87983 Get away from her, you witch! |
| 87984 What is this? |
| 87985 Coo, who's this? |
| 87986 Heya, kiddo. I need you to take this and squeeze it real hard, all right? |
| 87987 What's going on? Who are you? |
| 87988 I'm Neera. I'm gonna take you somewhere safe. Just take the talisman, all right? |
| 87989 Is this a trick? Are you trying to hurt me? |
| 87990 Step away from the child, elf! She's ours. |
| 87991 Half-elf! And if you don't get out of here, things are gonna get really uglyâ€â€as ugly as that witch and her tricks. Squeeze the talisman. I'll be right behind you! |
| 87992 Hold still, child! This won't hurt a bit. |
| 87993 That's right. Don't move a muscle. |
| 87994 Get her, before |
| 87995 Yes! I knew you had it in you. Ha! Sorry, witch and witch lackeys! She's safe now. Butâ€â€drat, did I give her my last talisman? |
| 87996 You didn't think this through, did you? |
| 87997 Wh-what? Oh. Greetings. |
| 87998 What's wrong? You seem to be looking for something. |
| 87999 Not real well. But that's what magic is for. |
| 88000 Greetings. I have some questions for you. |
| 88001 Sorry to bother you. I must be going. |
| 88002 Looking? Yes, I am looking for something. Somebody, in fact. Somebodies, to be most accurate of all: Abby, Connie, Alter, Divine, Chanticleer, Eevo, Lucy, and Nector. Seen them about? |
| 88003 Another one eludes us. Why did you hesitate, Warwick? Ellis? You should have grabbed the child before she had a chance to teleport! |
| 88004 These people are your friends? They are lost? |
| 88005 No, I've not met any people with those names. |
| 88006 Oh, come on! Who just tips water barrels over in the street? |
| 88007 No. Sorry to bother you, but I must go. |
| 88008 Sorry, I have too many questions to deal with at the moment. Questions like... Why did they leave? Why won't they come back? What did I do wrong? It was my magic, wasn't it? Oh, WHERE ARE THEY? |
| 88009 Wait a tick. <CHARNAME>, is that you? You look... older. Wait, noâ€â€great. You look great! Don't you remember me? Way up near Baldur's Gate... I kept lighting things on fire? |
| 88010 Who are you talking about? |
| 88011 I'm sorry, are you looking for something? |
| 88012 Of course, Neera. How could I forget? It is good to see you again. |
| 88013 Sorry to bother you. I must be going. |
| 88014 Yes, I think I recall meeting you. |
| 88015 Abby, Connie, Alter, Divine, Chanticleer, Eevo, Lucy, and Nector, of course. Who do you THINK I was talking about? |
| 88016 I'm sorry. I don't believe we've ever met. How do you know my name? |
| 88017 These people are your friends? |
| 88018 You're right, it should have been very clear to me. |
| 88019 No. Not at all. |
| 88020 They aren't PEOPLE! They're very different from people. They're wise and fast, beautiful, soft, and agile. |
| 88021 Good to see you too. How funny to run into you here! |
| 88022 My cats. My sweet little babies. |
| 88023 "Think you recall meeting me"? Ah ha. So much for the tearful reunion. I'm Neera, in case you don't think you can "recall my name." |
| 88024 You're missing your cats? Perhaps I can do something. Tell me more about you. |
| 88025 Huh. Maybe I'm mixed up. Wouldn't be the first time. A lot of people know who you are, so maybe it just rubbed off on me. I'm Neera. |
| 88026 I'm sorry to hear you've lost track of your cats. What happened? |
| 88027 Some days it's good to be a wild mage, you know? But other days it's like herding catsâ€â€blind cats who hate each other. I've been trying to transport myself out of Athkatla, butâ€â€well, here I am. |
| 88028 I see. Well, I should be going. Good luck to you. |
| 88029 I saw you with that Red Wizard. What was that all about? |
| 88030 Insolent mockery! They never talked to me that way, did they? They were too polite for thatâ€â€not to mention wise, fast, beautiful, soft, and agile. |
| 88031 Argh. I'm Barad Ding. Me father was Barbauld Ding. Me mother was Esmera Ding, née Dang. Born and raised in Amn, discovered my wild magic at the age of thirty-three, employed for forty-two years as a tax clerk in the Government District, great dislike for rhubarb. Most importantly: MY CATS ARE MISSING. |
| 88032 Thank you. Now, what happened? |
| 88033 Very well. What can I do to aid you? |
| 88034 Where are you trying to go? |
| 88035 Never mind. I should be going. |
| 88036 Why isn't your magic working? |
| 88037 Wait, wait! Sorry if I was rude earlier! Help meâ€â€if you happen to pass through the Wild Forestâ€â€and you'll have to, yes?â€â€please keep an eye out for them. There are eight. Just take this food and lure them to you. If you bring all eight back, I'll give you a reward. |
| 88038 Is there anything I can do to help? |
| 88039 Very well. Goodbye, Barad. |
| 88040 Perhaps. Farewell. |
| 88041 Interesting, but I must be off. |
| 88042 There were cats in the area when we settled here. I began feeding them. Soon, I had a small colony! It was wonderful, and they seemed to love me as much as I loved them. But thenâ€â€curse my luck! A wild surge from one of my spells sent them scattering. I've called and called, but they do not come. |
| 88043 I'd like to help you. But tell me something about yourself first. |
| 88044 I will do what I can to find them. |
| 88045 I see. That is too bad, Barad. Farewell. |
| 88046 Wonderful! There are eight, and they can only be in one place nowâ€â€the Wild Forest. Just take this food and lure them to you. If you bring all eight back, I'll give you a reward. I, um, apologize if I was rude earlier. |
| 88047 You saw that? And you just stood there and watched? Thanks a bunch, <CHARNAME>. |
| 88048 Think nothing of it. Farewell, Barad. I will return with your cats. |
| 88049 I'll consider doing this, but don't count on it. Goodbye. |
| 88050 Where did the girl disappear to? |
| 88051 Be grateful that I choose to overlook your rudeness. Farewell. |
| 88052 You again! Look, I need some help. I'll give you a reward; justâ€â€find them, please! Find Abby, Connie, Alter, Divine, Chanticleer, Eevo, Lucy, and Nector! |
| 88053 You saved the girl by giving her that talisman. What's stopping you from teleporting after her? |
| 88054 Who are these people, and why do you need to find them? |
| 88055 You are incredibly annoying, you know that? It's no wonder your friends fled from you. |
| 88056 The Hidden Refuge. It's a camp I and some other wild mages set up as a sanctuary for people like us. The Red Wizards have been actively pursuing wild mages lately. After ages of them chasing me around, I decided to take action. Good on me, right? |
| 88057 I am sorry. I cannot help you right now. |
| 88058 Have ye found them yet? |
| 88059 Sure. Now, what is keeping your magic from working? |
| 88060 We're still working on it. What should we do again? |
| 88061 We've run out of cat food. |
| 88062 Wild magic is wild. Not much I can do about that. I gave away the last of my Hearthfire Talismans, which would have gotten me there a little more... directly. |
| 88063 No, sorry to bother you. Farewell. |
| 88064 I've lost eight cats, and it's likely they're roaming about the Wild Forest. You can lure them into your bag with this foodâ€â€if you need more, just ask. |
| 88065 And where are you trying to go? |
| 88066 There you are, then. But be careful! I don't have an endless supply. |
| 88067 At the moment? No. But I'd really appreciate it if you could meet me at the Wild Forest. We can talk more then, and I can show you what we've been doing. I'm so proud of it! I'll mark the forest's location on your map. |
| 88068 Praise be to Sharess, you've found me cats! Oh, thank you! Just in time for them to eat, too. Come here, Abby, Connie, Alter, Divine, Chanticleer, Eevo, Lucy, and Nector! And Dingsâ€â€I can't forget Dings. |
| 88069 Sure, me too. Oh! But before you go, let me mark the Wild Forest on your map. That's where my secret camp is. I'm so proud of it! I'd like you to see it. |
| 88070 But I only found eight cats! Who's Dings? |
| 88071 In the meantime, it looks like I'm hoofing itâ€â€unless you happen to have a jade figurine of a horse and a saddle? No? Well, never hurts to ask. Bye! |
| 88072 Oh, Dings rather likes my wild surges, which is why the surge that scared the others didn't scare him. That and he's attached to the camp's food storage: That's how he got his name. Telana thought we had rats, but one night she saw Dings abscond with a dried fish. "It's Ding's!" she yelled out, meaning one of my cats. The name stuck. |
| 88073 I see. Well, I am happy to have helped reunite you. |
| 88074 Interesting. Bringing you all together again has made me feel very heroic. |
| 88075 Enough. You mentioned something about a reward? |
| 88076 As it should! |
| 88077 Yes, I did. |
| 88078 We are happy too. So happy! |
| 88079 I'd like to give you this magic bell collar. Dings used to wear it, but I think it'll fit you just fine. Oh, don't give me that lookâ€â€it IS powerful, and it WILL fit you. Try it on and you'll see. |
| 88080 I can sense you're not convinced. Well, I gave you the collarâ€â€I could, I suppose, give you the cat. Dings is a wonderful animal, but I feel he is destined for greater things than the Hidden Refugeâ€â€perhaps he is destined to journey with you? |
| 88081 Animals should be wild, not kept as pets by wandering heroes. Tell Barad the gift is appreciated but inappropriate. |
| 88082 Minsc is torn! It seems only fair that <CHARNAME> be able to walk with a small animal to advise <PRO_HIMHER>, too. But Minsc also fears for Boo... Dings might have a bad attitude toward hamsters. |
| 88083 A bleedin' cat? Haven't we got enough to carry around without a yowling, scratching beastie to steal our victuals and piss on our armor? |
| 88084 Don't you know? Carrying around a live cat in the South is bad luck! |
| 88085 Well, what do you say? |
| 88086 Yes, I'll take Dings. Thank you! |
| 88087 No. Taking a cat with me is a terrible idea. |
| 88088 Goodbye then, Dings! May the larders always be full and the mice always fat wherever your travels take you! Take good care of him, <CHARNAME>. |
| 88089 Well, I'm not sorry that he is going to stay here with the rest of us, but I think you've made a very poor decision! |
| 88090 That's all, then. After they've eaten, I'm going to have a VERY long conversation with these eight vagabonds... Farewell, and may all your efforts be as handsomely rewarded. |
| 88091 You return. The cats are happy as can be, unless I touch their back paws or forget to feed them. If only people were as easy and pleasant to be around. |
| 88092 And how is Dings? Has he been a valuable member of your group? |
| 88093 He's been nice to have around, but I think he misses his home. |
| 88094 This little monster has been terrorizing the rodents of Amn and bringing me their remains. You need to take him back. |
| 88095 Yes, he's doing quite well. |
| 88096 Oh, there's Lucy begging again. I must be off. May your road be dogless and your footsteps small and dainty, <CHARNAME>. |
| 88097 Is that so? Well, don't expect any great favors from ME again. There you are, Dings. Come back home, have you? And what is that in your mouth? A gift, for me? I'm gratefulâ€â€I'll add it to my little collection. |
| 88098 That's wonderful to hear. |
| 88099 Ah, the agents of the Society of the Black Mantle! We thought you might come for us. Good thing we have an assortment of items with which to defeat you. |
| 88100 You must have me confused with someone else. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 88101 You've found me out! Let us battle! |
| 88102 Do not try my patience with your delusions, gnome. |
| 88103 Who's this "we"? I only see one of you. |
| 88104 Then I'd better go, hadn't I? Farewell. |
| 88105 It is? Well, you're not part of the society, as far as we know. Unless you're in disguise, like that troublesome genie... We knew it! We saw the twinkle in your eye just now! |
| 88106 Battle? Ha ha! Battle?! King Gramm does not "battle." We do, however, have a ham in our overcoat. Perhaps you'd like a taste? We think you'd find it... relaxing. No? Well, off you go, then. |
| 88107 You sound like my Cyric-worshipping cousin up north. We have no delusionsâ€â€we see especially clearly with our magic mirror. Off you go. |
| 88108 He fancies himself a king; he must be using the royal "we." |
| 88109 We do not deign to answer such a question from the likes of you. |
| 88110 You must have me confused with someone else. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 88111 If you won't answer my question, perhaps you would rather do battle? |
| 88112 Do not try my patience with your delusions, gnome. |
| 88113 I see. Goodbye, then. |
| 88114 Go on, go on! We have our mortality and the dismal destiny of our kingdom to contemplate. Our heir is enslaved by an evil wizard, for all we know, and may at this very moment be cleaning a chicken coop on some forlorn crag. |
| 88115 You seem to be in quite the stateâ€â€is there anything I can do to help? |
| 88116 You're completely cracked, aren't you? |
| 88117 I take my leave of you with pleasure, Your Majesty. |
| 88118 Help? No. We've always solved our problems by ourselves and in the most ludicrous ways imaginable. Off with you! |
| 88119 Very well, then. Farewell. |
| 88120 We are a mighty king, exiled from our country, in a land that respects us not. The great Zemblan monarch of legend was not more disenfranchised. We weep, we weep! Look what you have made us do. Please go. |
| 88121 Poor "King" Gramm. He's a wild mage, all right, but he needs... other kinds of help. Telana and I saved him from a beating by some thugs at the Copper Coronet. That "we" stuff didn't go over well. Heh! Neither did the random color sprays. |
| 88122 Cidrick! Cidrick! You bumbling bird, where are you? |
| 88123 That magic fruit would have made us whole. |
| 88124 We're hungry. FILL. FILL! FILL!! Why isn't it working? |
| 88125 Why can't a king just DEMAND a custard pie?! |
| 88126 We wish we could go back to Delthuntle. |
| 88127 We've checked every stump and fallen log. No sapphire jewelry! |
| 88128 Greetings. Telana told me to meet you here. I am to escort Daxus back to the Hidden Refuge after you convince him to come, correct? |
| 88129 That sounds about right. We'll return with Daxus soon. |
| 88130 No. I have a Talisman of the Hearthfire. He can teleport there himself. |
| 88131 I believe so. Do you think the two of you will be safe? |
| 88132 Ah. Good. I did not relish the idea of traveling with him. But I'll wait here just in case. |
| 88133 Very well. Goodbye, Hayes. |
| 88134 I see no reason to expect complications. We'll leave quickly once you get him here. |
| 88135 Excellent. We'll back soon, Hayes. |
| 88136 Daxus is at Delosar's Inn, on the east side of the bridge. |
| 88137 Hello, all. Come to gape, have you? Yes, it is I. Daxus, the famous Blue Elf of Athkatla. You know, every time I say that, it seems even less true than it was the last time I said it. |
| 88138 Listen, folks, if you expected a real entertainer, perhaps your garden variety megalomaniac of a mage, you're bound to be disappointed. And I know from experience that it's far better to be bound for gratification. |
| 88139 Ha ha ha! |
| 88140 Do you think he writes his own material? |
| 88141 This elf is completely blue! |
| 88142 I know we're here on business, but can we watch a bit more? |
| 88143 Why not? |
| 88144 No. We have a task to do. Let's go. |
| 88145 ONE of these days, I'm going to figure out why you people keep laughing. There are enough wonders in Faerûn to make bright blue skin seem ordinary, and there are chairs with more stage presence than I have. It's hard to stay so stiff pleasing the same people every night, but somehow I manage. |
| 88146 He's a riot! |
| 88147 Innkeep! The elf will make Delosar's famous! Never let him leave! |
| 88148 Ha ha ha! Can you believe how blue he is? |
| 88149 He's good! He is really good! Want to keep watching? |
| 88150 We might as well. |
| 88151 No, let's go talk to him. |
| 88152 I'm glad. Really, I am. I'm so glad to see you all amused for whatever obscure reason. And whoever made that remark about me not leavingâ€â€you were right. It's not going to happen. Just the other day, a woman came by to convince me I ought to pack my bags for some "wild mage camp." I told her Delosar's Inn was camp enough for me. |
| 88153 Holy Helm, I think I'm going to burst! |
| 88154 Bravo! Bravo! |
| 88155 Ha ha! He's the color of the ocean! |
| 88156 Hey! He's talking about the Hidden Refuge. In public, no less! That's our cue. Let's go get him. |
| 88157 You're early for my performance. Why don't you come back later? While you're at it, you might consider bringing... some different friends? |
| 88158 He's quite the entertainer. You'll see. |
| 88159 Daxus is a real showman... I think. |
| 88160 Have you ever seen a bluer elf? Amazing! |
| 88161 What? Who are you, and why are you interrupting my show? Let me guess, you'd like an autograph? Very well. It's fascinating what people will do to get me to spill a little ink. |
| 88162 I WOULD like an autograph, actually, but that's not why I'm here. |
| 88163 No, I don't need an autograph. I want to talk to you about the wild mages' camp. |
| 88164 Stop the show now. We're getting you out of here. |
| 88165 Here you are. Now let me get back to my performance. |
| 88166 Thanks, but I can't let you do that. We're here to take you to the wild mages' camp. |
| 88167 No. Stop the show. We're going to get you out of here. |
| 88168 Oh, that blasted camp! Why do people keep harassing me about it? |
| 88169 Listen, we're trying to help you! Honest! You're in danger. The Red Wizards are rounding up the wild mages and doing terrible, awful, horrible... TERRIBLE things to us. |
| 88170 Well, listen here. I don't believe it. People call me the Famous Blue Elf of Athkatla and come to see me every night; if I disappeared, everyone would know. I have an income. I have a name. I've even overcome my stage fright; it may be hard to believe, but my performance anxiety used to make me shrivel right up. I can't let you take all this away. |
| 88171 There he isâ€â€with the troublesome half-elf, as promised. Get them! |
| 88172 Daxus! Listen to me! Take this talismanâ€â€grip it tightly, and it'll teleport you to the camp. Get out of here! |
| 88173 Daxus! Stay out of the wayâ€â€we'll take care of the Thayans, then get you to safety. |
| 88174 What? They ARE after me! I suppose you're right about all this. Very well. I should grip it tightly, you say? Easy enough. |
| 88175 What? They ARE after me! I will do as you sayâ€â€unless you need me to help? |
| 88176 Very well, but don't get yourself hurt. |
| 88177 No. Stay put, and we'll handle it. |
| 88178 The blue elf escaped. Hurry! Get the others! |
| 88179 What are you waiting for? Attack! |
| 88180 You got him? Good. I saw the tussle; congratulations on getting him through it in one piece. I'll take him from here. |
| 88181 Daxus, this is Hayes. He'll get you to the camp safely. |
| 88182 You saw? Why didn't you help? |
| 88183 Good riddance to both of you, then. |
| 88184 Wait, you're not coming? Is my whole life from now on going to consist of me getting thrown around by strangers? |
| 88185 On second thought, that sounds neither bad nor one jot different from my old life. |
| 88186 You'll be fine. We tend to attract trouble. Hayes, can get you to the camp with little interference? |
| 88187 Good. Now go, before more Red Wizards show up. |
| 88188 It didn't look like you needed help. Besides, I'm just the escort; you're the muscle. |
| 88189 I think we'll get alongâ€â€as a rule, escorts and muscles are two of my favorite things. Are you going to introduce us, <CHARNAME>? |
| 88190 No. Good riddance to you both. |
| 88191 Good riddance indeed. Come along, Daxus. We've a long journey ahead of us. |
| 88192 I'm sorry I was so reluctant to come, <CHARNAME>. I do appreciate what you've done for me. |
| 88193 It was a pleasure. |
| 88194 Good. Now get going before more Red Wizards show up. |
| 88195 Indeed. Thank you. |
| 88196 Come along, Daxus. We've a long journey ahead of us. |
| 88197 There's a smart one. |
| 88198 Where's Daxus? |
| 88199 Daxus didn't make it. The Red Wizards attacked and killed him. |
| 88200 The fool got himself killed when the Order attacked. |
| 88201 Oh? Well, this was a waste of my time. Farewell. |
| 88202 What's gotten into Hayes? He's always been a little sullen, but the mage we were supposed to rescue just died! *sigh* I feel awful. For Daxusâ€â€for everything. I have a really bad feeling. |
| 88203 He's probably upset and doesn't know what to say. I feel sorry for Daxus too, but we did all we could to save him. |
| 88204 Me too. If only we had come a few moments earlier. |
| 88205 Hayes is right. There's no use regretting things now. |
| 88206 I'm worried. The Order seemed to know we were hereâ€â€did you hear the wizard at Delosar's say we were there "as promised"? Something's not right. We need to get back to Telana and tell her what happened. |
| 88207 I've heard of you. I'll make this short. I'm Reginald. You're not. Talk's done. |
| 88208 Hello, Reginald. I see you're a half-orc. |
| 88209 Where do you come from, Reginald? |
| 88210 What are you doing here? |
| 88211 Are you a wild mage? |
| 88212 Understood. I'm going. |
| 88213 So you have eyes. Good. |
| 88214 Ha. Yes, <CHARNAME> is good with the obvious. |
| 88215 Hail, fellow half-orc. We are sons of Gruumsh. |
| 88216 You are no brother of mine. Keep your distance. |
| 88217 No more talking. Go. |
| 88218 A half-orc wild mage, eh? You must have a fascinating story. |
| 88219 Wait! I've some questions for you. |
| 88220 Very well. I will take my leave of you. |
| 88221 A tribe in Damara. Banished for my wild magic. |
| 88222 Reggie and I have bonded over being banished. Watch it, though. He's got a bit of a temper. |
| 88223 I stand and wait with the other wild mages. |
| 88224 I am here, aren't I? |
| 88225 Idle chat makes me angry. Go. |
| 88226 Reginald gets angry very easily. Hayes didn't want him here at all on account of his temper. I thought changing his name from Ruglurr to Reginald would help, butâ€â€well, you can take the name out of the half-orc tribesman, but you can't take the half-orc tribesman out of the... uh... half-orc tribesman. |
| 88227 Why are you still here? I said go. |
| 88228 Relax, Reginald. Perhaps you're unhappy because you haven't had a good long talk in a while. |
| 88229 I'll leave when I choose. I am here to help you people. |
| 88230 I see there is nothing to be gained here. Goodbye, Reginald. |
| 88231 That's it! I'll give you one chance to walk away. Else I attack. |
| 88232 Is that a challenge? I cannot stand down from a challenge. |
| 88233 You want to tussle? Fine. Let's go. |
| 88234 Very well. I'm walking away. |
| 88235 You won't finish the job? |
| 88236 I surrender! Do not kill me. |
| 88237 What now? |
| 88238 I had a question. |
| 88239 I thought I'd provoke you some more. |
| 88240 Sorry to bother you. Farewell. |
| 88241 I have no need of further talk. You have no need of further talk. |
| 88242 But I doâ€â€please, just one question. |
| 88243 Sorry to bother you. Farewell. |
| 88244 You're doing a good job of it, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 88245 I do not like the way you talk! |
| 88246 I see. Farewell. |
| 88247 I talk only because you make me talk. |
| 88248 And I only talk in order to make you talk! |
| 88249 Never mind. Farewell. |
| 88250 No talk. Go. |
| 88251 I implore you. |
| 88252 Sorry to bother you, then. Farewell. |
| 88253 Better implore the sky. Sky's less likely to beat you into a bloody pulp. |
| 88254 I beseech you, then. |
| 88255 I see, I see. Farewell. |
| 88256 You may talk much, but you fight well. And you didn't attack me when you could have. Your restraint is... admirable. |
| 88257 Thank you. I will remember this lesson. |
| 88258 Stay away! I do not want to fight. |

| 88282 The Cook |
| 88283 Ah, <CHARNAME>! I've been anxiously awaiting your debut in the arena. I know what the legends say, but does the reality measure up? |
| 88284 Can reality ever measure up to a legend? |
| 88285 We shall see. |
| 88286 If anything, the legends downplay my prowess. |
| 88287 Hmm... Perhaps not, but if anyone can do it, I'm sure it's you. Now are you ready to fight? |
| 88288 Certainly! |
| 88289 I would rather talk a bit. |
| 88290 I think I need more time to prepare. |
| 88291 Fantastic! I'll let Dennaton know. He'll be thrilled! Prepare yourselves, and I'll be right back! |
| 88292 I always have time for one of my flock. What can I do for you? |
| 88293 During the welcoming feast, I noticed tension between you and Brodle. What's that about? |
| 88294 I'd like to discuss my arena persona. |
| 88295 Who or what do I fight next? |
| 88296 Nothing. You can do nothing. Excuse me. |
| 88297 We're all anxious to see what you've got. Come back to see me when you're ready to give the arena a go. |
| 88298 Ah, yes, my "dear cousin," Brodle. He's envious because of my high station and the fact that Dennaton really relies on me. It causes friction, but we're family. What can you do? |
| 88299 It must be tough running this place. One less talented than you would never be able to pull it off. |
| 88300 In Brodle's defense, he is dealing with an incompetent cousin with delusions of grandeur. |
| 88301 I know what you mean. Let's discuss something else. |
| 88302 I need to go now. Excuse me. |
| 88303 It's so nice that someone finally sees what I have to put up with! |
| 88304 You bear a heavy burden. May we discuss something else? |
| 88305 My heart goes out to you. Please excuse me. |
| 88306 Watch your mouth, performer. You wouldn't want to find yourself with no food rations... or worse! |
| 88307 My deepest apologies, Tartle. Can we discuss something else? |
| 88308 You'd have to go some distance to make this place worse than it already is. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 88309 I've been wondering what role you might choose to play. Generally, we have heroes and villains, both equally necessary. Just as the people need performers they love, they also need those they love to hate! |
| 88310 I was thinking of playing a hero. I'd like the audience on my side. |
| 88311 I'd play a villain best. I thrive on hatred. |
| 88312 I'll be neither. This charade is absurd. |
| 88313 Any chance I get to address the crowd, I'll use to insult Dennaton. |
| 88314 Oh, good choice! I think you'll play the role to perfection! A word of advice, though: Do nothing in moderation. The arena is large, and it is impossible to see subtlety from the back rows. Go big. Be grandiose. The audience will gulp it all down like Calimshite Swill! |
| 88315 I'll keep that in mind. Can I ask you something? |
| 88316 Big. Grandiose. No moderation. Got it. Excuse me. |
| 88317 Very good! I've noticed the villains have the most fun. A word of advice though: The best villains go over the top. Force the audience to hate you! Rub your evil in their faces. Insult them, even. Done correctly, the people will hunger for your demise like a fat man hungers for rhubarb pie! |
| 88318 I'll bear it in mind, but there's something else I'd like to discuss. |
| 88319 Insult the audience? That won't be a problem. Excuse me. |
| 88320 Well, that's boring! If I were you, I'd come up with a better plan than that! With that attitude, you won't get any of the best fights! And the best fights come with the best rewards! |
| 88321 Something to think about, to be sure. But there's something else I'd like to discuss. |
| 88322 I like my plan just fine. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 88323 Oh. That would be unwise. Dennaton likes heroes and he loves villains, but he hates those that do not appreciate his benevolence. If you don't watch yourself, you'll be sleeping on a cot in the dungeon with nothing but moldy bread and rancid water... or is that rancid bread and moldy water? I'll have to ask Cook how he prepares the sludge. |
| 88324 Few have accused me of wisdom. Can I ask you something else? |
| 88325 One prison is much the same as another. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 88326 Oh, it wouldn't be fair to the other combatants to say. The spontaneity is part of the fun, but I'm sure a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of your talents can adjust to any danger on the fly! |
| 88327 If you won't tell me that, let's discuss something else. |
| 88328 I should go prepare then. Please excuse me. |
| 88329 I probably shouldn't say, but... well, it's a pack of vampires, so cover your neck and make sure you have some protection against their unholy touch. |
| 88330 Well, since it's you, I'll spill the beans. It's a band of githyanki. Some of them are armed with those special swords of theirs, so beware. They'll hit hard! |
| 88331 Fine, stop twisting my arm here! What we've got ready for you is a sahuagin sorcerer who's adept at summoning water weirds. |
| 88332 Dennaton would disapprove of my saying, but hey, you're a star, so your next opponent is Mardii, a halfling conjurer who specializes in summoning elementals. Beware, though, he's also quite theâ€â€uhhâ€â€"charmer," so protect yourself from mind spells too! |
| 88333 Well, I like you, and I hope you live, so I'll help you out. Watch out for this next fight. Dennaton's advertising it as the Blood War brought to the arena. We have demons. We have devils. They're as likely to kill each other as you, so maybe you should stay out of their way until one side wins... and then finish the winner off! |
| 88334 I probably shouldn't say, but... we have a group of monks from a cult known as the Twofold Trust. There's some to-do around about their beliefâ€â€something about believing two goddesses are one. Eh, I'm no theologian, but I know this group is fanatical, highly resistant to mind-altering attacks, and absolutely vicious! |
| 88335 Well, since it's you, I'll spill the beans. It's a big golem... but watch out because this golem has a unique secret. When defeated, it will shatter into several smaller golems, and believe it or not, it's the smaller ones that are the mean little buggers! |
| 88336 Fine, stop twisting my arm here! Dennaton actually had the Hunters travel down to the coast and drag a lich out of her crypt! Suffice it to say, she's a powerful spellcaster who can summon hoards of undead underlings. But her best trickâ€â€and this is the secretâ€â€is that she is very adept at hypnotizing her opponents and turning them against their former friends! |
| 88337 Dennaton would disapprove my saying, but hey, you're a star. Your next opponent is a trio of rakshasas. They're brutally efficient with their blades, but if you can somehow get past their innate resistance to magic, your victory should be easy. |
| 88338 This is a tough one! You'll be facing several mind flayers, who will be looking to feast on your brains, but the real threat is their leader, who is capable of unleashing an unbelievable psionic assault that has killed all their previous opponents! To survive, you'll need to cut through his defenders quickly and then kill him before he is able to prepare his attack. Good luck! |
| 88339 I probably shouldn't say, but... we have some of the Winged's old comrades-in-arms who actually tried to collect a bounty on HER! Hah, they failed, and so now they're fodder for the arena! I've a feeling the Winged herself will be on hand to cheer you on against that pack of fallen devas. |
| 88340 Look, I think you should be very worried here. Next up is Dogar and Kazon. That's not one, but two, demilichesâ€â€twins in both life and deathâ€â€and whatever you've heard about demiliches, I can assure you it's all true. You'll need all manner of magical defenses, and even then, know that they can strip you bare at any time. |
| 88341 You're now among Dennaton's top acts, so he's pitting you against his other top performers. Your next opponent is Yllaxxia, a red dragon, and her two children. That's THREE dragons. Suffice it to say, prepare yourself for flames EVERYWHERE! |
| 88342 I understand much of the current talk on the Sword Coast revolves around your next opponents. We have two children of the dead god, Bhaal, Lord of Murder, who have been raised by a cult to master and control their powers. They can actually manifest themselves into quasi-avatars of Bhaal, which makes them highly resistant to almost everything. Good luck. You'll need it! |
| 88343 Indeed, there's no time like the present. Are you ready to fight? |
| 88344 Certainly! |
| 88345 I'd rather talk a bit. |
| 88346 I think I need more time to prepare. |
| 88347 Ooh, I do so hope you are correct! Now, are you ready to fight? |
| 88348 Certainly! |
| 88349 An interesting story! When I first came here, Dennaton quickly saw that I was unsuitable for the arena. I would be far too powerful for the mere mortals that fight here, you see, so he gave me to Cook and told him to "make something out of me." |
| 88350 But after a short while, Cook had to admit I was "too tough for the stew." He and Dennaton had an argument about what to do with me, and finally Dennaton said if that's the best Cook could muster, then he'd make me his boss! And here I am! |
| 88351 I can see why Dennaton chose you. Every team needs strong leadership to succeed. |
| 88352 Dennaton put you in charge to irritate Cook because he couldn't figure out how to turn you into a raspberry Tartle? You realize you're a joke, right? |
| 88353 Interesting, but I'd rather discuss something else. |
| 88354 And here I go. |
| 88355 I look forward to it. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 88356 Truly, and every strong leader needs a strong right-hand <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Keep it up, <CHARNAME>, and you might just find yourself rising to the top here! Well, not the VERY top! |
| 88357 Thank you. Now, I'd also like to discuss something else. |
| 88358 A joke? How funny will you find it when your cot's taken out of your cell and you're given nothing to eat, eh? Keep it up and we're going to find out! |
| 88359 I've endured worse. Can I ask you something else? |
| 88360 A horrible woman leading a ragtag team! No respect for me, and no respect for Dennaton! She just keeps whining for more and more money when the truth is she's fortunate Dennaton doesn't just throw her in the arena. The whole thing just irritates me! |
| 88361 The Winged realized you're an irrelevant twit? I underestimated her. |
| 88362 Outrageous! Anyone that doesn't respect you SHOULD be thrown into the arena! |
| 88363 Interesting, but I'd rather discuss something else. |
| 88364 Irrelevant, eh? Wait till I talk to Dennaton about halving your reward money for your future matches! You won't think I'm irrelevant then, will you? |
| 88365 Of course not! Now can we discuss something else? |
| 88366 I'm glad that you get it. You know, I like you! Stick with me, <CHARNAME>, and I'll see you go a long way! |
| 88367 Thank you. Now, I'd also like to discuss something else. |
| 88368 Oh, it's a fantastic opportunity! Dennaton's well-connected. He's got a powerful backerâ€â€heh, around here they don't GET more powerfulâ€â€so he's definitely on the short list for high office. And when Dennaton gets to the top, I'll be right there beside him! |
| 88369 You know what they say: Behind every great Red Wizard is an even greater halfling! |
| 88370 Why would Dennaton bring a fat, lazy, intellectual lightweight like you anywhere? You'd be an anchor around his neck! |
| 88371 Interesting. Can I ask you something else? |
| 88372 Yes, they DO say that, don't they? You know, <CHARNAME>, it's always good to have someone with your wisdom around. I'll remember you when I get to the top. Don't you worry! |
| 88373 I appreciate it. May I ask you something else? |
| 88374 Oh, ya think so, do you? First, explain why Dennaton has me running this place if I'm so lazy and stupid? Didn't think about that, did you, genius? And second... well, I forgot what I was going to say, but it would have been good! |
| 88375 I'm sure it would have been. Now can we discuss something else? |
| 88376 Whatever. Look, I need to go. Excuse me. |
| 88377 Of course! Anything for the Champion of Baeloth's Pits! |
| 88378 During the welcoming feast, I noticed some tension between you and Brodle. What was that about? |
| 88379 How'd you get to be in charge around here? |
| 88380 What can you tell me about the Winged and her crew? |
| 88381 How do you like working for Dennaton? |
| 88382 I'd like to discuss my act in the arena. |
| 88383 Who or what do I face next? |
| 88384 I can't actually think of anything I need right now. Excuse me. |
| 88385 Hello again, <CHARNAME>. The arena awaits! |
| 88386 I'm ready for my next fight. |
| 88387 Before we get to that, may I ask you some questions? |
| 88388 Debug Mode On |
| 88389 Debug Mode Off |
| 88390 Let it. I've other things to do. |
| 88391 Will you be fighting our latest offering, or will you attempt to fight one of your previous battles again? |
| 88392 I'd like to fight my next battle. |
| 88393 Let me fight a previous battle again. |
| 88394 Actually, never mindâ€â€I shall return. |
| 88395 Very well. From which tier will you select your battle? |
| 88396 The first tier. |
| 88397 The second. |
| 88398 Let me try something from the third tier. |

| 88405 Battle 5: Call of the Underdark. |
| 88406 Never mind. I'll come back later. |
| 88407 Didn't get beaten badly enough the first time, I see. |
| 88408 Battle 6: Interview with Vampires. |
| 88409 Battle 7: Gith is Madness. |
| 88410 Battle 8: Sahuagin's Garden. |
| 88411 Battle 9: Master of the Elements. |
| 88412 Battle 10: The Demons & Devils You Know... |
| 88413 Well, aren't you a tough one? What's it gonna be? |
| 88414 Battle 11: The Twofold Faith. |
| 88415 Battle 12: Clay Division. |
| 88416 Battle 13: Undead... and Lurching It. |
| 88417 Battle 14: Tiger Crush. |

| 88426 Wild Forest |
| 88427 Hidden Refuge |
| 88428 Red Wizard |
| 88429 This bridge appears rotted and uncrossable. The water flowing beneath is polluted with magic. It has an unwholesome, eerie look that is distinctly unwelcoming. |
| 88430 I do not like this. That water is foul. We should not get too close. |
| 88431 Magic has deeply upset the balance here. We must walk with care and caution. |
| 88432 Oh, I remember this one! Watch this! |
| 88433 Powerful illusion magic is at work here. It cannot be dispelled, but there may be another way to reveal what is hidden. |
| 88434 You pick up some loose gravel and cast it towards the bridge. |
| 88435 The gravel reveals that the bridge's decrepit state is only an illusion. You may cross the stream without danger. |
| 88436 Ah, good! I've been waiting for you. The camp's really close. |
| 88437 Greetings, Neera. It's good to see you, but I'm surprised you're not already there. |
| 88438 Good. Let us be off. |
| 88439 Waiting for me? Why? |
| 88440 Uh, I |
| 88441 Yes? Go on. |
| 88442 Let me guess: You don't know where it is. |
| 88443 There's some sort of problem? I am shocked. |
| 88444 Honestly? I'm having a bit of trouble bypassing the wards and traps we set up to keep unwanted visitors out. I shouldn't have trained the others so well. Extraordinary talent can be such a curse! |
| 88445 I see. So I am to assist you getting past these wards. |
| 88446 Extraordinary talents always areâ€â€I should know. Need some help? |
| 88447 So can extraordinary incompetence. You need me to get through these wards, I take it? |
| 88448 I was having a hard time finding it earlier, but that's not the problem now. |
| 88449 What is, then? |
| 88450 Tempting, but |
| 88451 Yes. Let's join forces. I can guide you to the camp, and you can make sure I don't die. |
| 88452 So what do you say? Am I in or out? |
| 88453 I would be happy to have you by my side, Neera. |
| 88454 You can join us for a time. If your magic is useful and not too troublesome, you may remain. |
| 88455 I'd prefer to travel without you for now. |
| 88456 Absolutely out. |
| 88457 The half-elf's magic may represent a threat to the balance, but I think she would do less harm with us than without us. |
| 88458 I would advise against accompanying a mage with such poor control of her spells. Would it not be better to aid her... from a distance? |
| 88459 Leave the brat behind. |
| 88460 And so the curse of the Corthalas continues to follow me. I do not speak against Neera, <CHARNAME>. I simply make an observation. |
| 88461 This bird is of a rare plumage, my raven. How her colors change! It would be a pleasure to fly beside her. |
| 88462 Glad to hear it, <CHARNAME>! This should be funâ€â€dread, danger, and death aside. And blisters. Can't forget the blisters. |
| 88463 Really? I guess I understand. I hope you still plan to go to the camp. I'll hang back, as you "prefer," and meet you there once you're through the wards. |
| 88464 We've got to be careful. This entire forest is a wild magic zone. It wasn't always, but the wild mage refugees affected the Weave. |
| 88465 Fine! I absolutely don't want to anyway! Now go clear a path for me. You can pretend I'm not skulking behind you. |
| 88466 This is an insult. If you accept this miserable excuse for a practitioner of the arcane arts into your party, you will endure an incalculable lossâ€â€my departure. |
| 88467 Truly, Edwin? After all we've been through together? |
| 88468 Very well. I've traveled with you long enough. |
| 88469 Then you give me no choice. Neera, I need Edwin more than I need you. |
| 88470 Truly, <CHARNAME>. Your pitiful attempt to manipulate my emotions is foolish, ineffectual, and near insulting. Nostalgia has no sway over one who can bend even time to his will. |
| 88471 Then I suppose this is farewell, Edwin. |
| 88472 So be it. Edwin has given me an ultimatum, Neera. I have decided that he will remain. |
| 88473 Bah! When this woman's wild magic turns your little group into a colony of ants, be grateful if I am not nearby to stomp on you. |
| 88474 Wh-what? You want this strangely non-bald Thayan maniac instead of me? All right. I just have two words for you: evil wizard. |
| 88475 Servant?! |
| 88476 You really want me to go? Constant peril and endless hikes aside, I thought we were having fun. |
| 88477 Sorry, Neera, you must go for now. Perhaps you can join me later. |
| 88478 You're right. Please stay. |
| 88479 Very well. If you make it to the wild mages' camp, I'll be right behind you. |
| 88480 Very well. You know where to find me if you change your mind? |
| 88481 Yes, the Hidden Refuge. Goodbye for now. |
| 88482 Yes. Right here. |
| 88483 You want me to leave?! But Iâ€â€*sigh* If you think it's for the best, I understand. But I'm a little confused. |
| 88484 Confused? About what? Leave for now. Perhaps you can join me later. |
| 88485 This isn't easy for me, but I think it's best that you stay out of danger. |
| 88486 You're right, I'm behaving foolishly. Forget I said anythingâ€â€let's go. |
| 88487 I get it. |
| 88488 Stay out of danger? I AM danger. ...Okay, that's overstating things, but now I'm even more confused than I was. But if you insist |
| 88489 I do. |
| 88490 You're right, I'm behaving foolishly. Forget I said anythingâ€â€let's go. |
| 88491 Hey! Do I get to join you or what? You could use my levelheaded advice, tactical wisdom, and moral clarity. |
| 88492 Yes. I'd like to have you in my party. |
| 88493 You forgot to mention your gentle humility. Yes and yes! Let's get going. |
| 88494 You may come if you keep quiet and make yourself useful. |
| 88495 Not right now. Farewell. |
| 88496 Great! |
| 88497 I hope it will be. Off we go. |
| 88498 Actually, I've reconsidered. Perhaps I'll return later. |
| 88499 Very quiet! Very useful! I'm basically a large sack. |
| 88500 You want me to travel with you? Clean up your act, <CHARNAME>, and I'll consider it. |
| 88501 You've changed your mind? You want me to go to the enclave with you? |
| 88502 Yes. Please join us. |
| 88503 No. I was just checking up on you. |
| 88504 Checking up on me? What does that even mean? If you don't want my help, this conversation is kind of pointless, isn't it? |
| 88505 Great! |
| 88506 But I'm a little worried the damage is already done. We need to get to the enclave as soon as possible. |
| 88507 I can't take any more of this. I'm not judging, really, I'm not. It's just thatâ€â€oh, by the Hells! I AM judging. How can you keep going on like this? I have to leave. You've hurt way too many people. I have to get out of here. |
| 88508 Neera, come back! I demand it! |
| 88509 Suit yourself, weakling. |
| 88510 Get down, everyone! |
| 88511 I command pure chaos! Kinda. |
| 88512 Victory? Unclear. Destruction? Certain! |
| 88513 You understand that I am volatile and occasionally unreasonable? Okay, great! |
| 88514 *yawn* My mind's even foggier than usual. Can we... stop? |
| 88515 *yawn* My eyelids are heavy. I think I'm out of spells. Bedtime? |
| 88516 Fidgeting over here... fidget, fidget, fidget! |
| 88517 This place has seared in my memory for ALL time. Can we get moving? |
| 88518 Please! Someone... anyone?! I'm in... quite a bit of pain here. |
| 88519 Hmm? |
| 88520 Ready for anything. |
| 88521 Happy to help... uh, to try to help, anyway. |
| 88522 I'm ready! |
| 88523 Yes? |
| 88524 What'll it be? |
| 88525 Neera here. |
| 88526 That's it? |
| 88527 Fine! |
| 88528 Sure. |
| 88529 I suppose. |
| 88530 I'll do it. |
| 88531 Simple and surge-free. |
| 88532 So easy you could almost do it yourself. |
| 88535 Being in the woods always reminds me of the High Forest. I like it. |
| 88536 Are you gonna make me cast spells here? There are a lot of people around. |
| 88537 I sense great evil... fabled treasure... terrible danger... probably some spiders. |
| 88538 It's a fine day for fireballs. |
| 88539 An evening stroll under the stars! When do we get attacked? |
| 88540 No! They can't get away with this! |
| 88541 Not savin' the day this time. |
| 88542 I was tryin' to concentrate! |
| 88543 Yes, boss? |
| 88544 Aha! Did everyone see that? Boy, I'm good! |
| 88545 That... hurt. Can't... breathe... |
| 88546 Ah, for the love of crumb cake! That wasn't even close, was it? |
| 88547 Blast it! That's not gonna work. |
| 88548 Can we lose some of this trash? I can't carry any more. |
| 88549 I could get used to this! It was so easy. |
| 88550 Sneaky. |
| 88551 Oh no, I've lost my spell! |
| 88552 Ha! Can't wait to see what happens. |
| 88553 Wait for me here. I'll return for you when I need you. |
| 88554 Minsc? I think we should have a serious talk about Boo. |
| 88555 Let me guess! You admire Boo from afar. You have thought to yourself, "Boo strong! Boo handsome!" |
| 88556 Don't get me wrong. Boo is really, really cute. "Handsome" might be stretching it. But about that "strong" part |
| 88557 Do not hold back! Out with it! Boo can take it! |
| 88558 Well, that's just it... Can he? I mean, it was one thing when you and Boo were killing kobolds back on the Sword Coast. But the things we have to face these days |
| 88559 Ah, yes! You are afraid Boo has become too mighty. You see how he looks into a demon's eyes and how the demon fears to meet his gaze! |
| 88560 No. I'm afraid he'll be beaten to a bloody pulp or choke during a cloudkill spell. |
| 88561 You imagine him finding a hole in dragon's armor and showing Minsc where to point his sword! |
| 88562 No, I imagine him going down a dragon's throat and showing him how good hamster tastes. |
| 88563 You think Boo will find sacred cup, pull sword from rock, destroy cursed ring, win golden branch, and kill big evil! |
| 88564 It's really more that I think he'll die. |
| 88565 Die? Ha! Where Minsc goes, Boo follows, and where Boo goes, so does Minsc! Death has no sting for us! |
| 88566 No. Nooo! You, Neera! You did this! |
| 88567 What did I do now? Oh... oh my. |
| 88568 Your last spell. Your last spell did this to my Boo! |
| 88569 You know I can't control it, Minsc. I am so sorry! But I swear it's only temporary. |
| 88570 Ah, Boo! Your fur was like gold, like topaz, like dark honey from the meadows of Rashemen. And now… |
| 88571 Pink! All pink. |
| 88572 Pink... pink like the flowers that give us the dark honey! So, not that much of a change, right? Anyway, you like flowers. |
| 88573 A HAMSTER IS NOT A FLOWER. |
| 88574 Good point. You know, I could probably fix that |
| 88575 No! No more spells! Boo and I will stand over here. Way over here! |
| 88576 Neera? Boo and I would like to say sorry. |
| 88577 Sorry? What for? |
| 88578 Boo says he didn't mind being pink. It was nice change. I kind of liked it too. |
| 88579 Apology accepted! I wasn't too upsetâ€â€I'm used to my magic making people mad. |
| 88580 Minsc is a berserker. Minsc understands. |
| 88581 You're right. Except when you make things pink by accident because that's the color of their entrails. |
| 88582 A little messy, but easier to fix! |
| 88583 Right... I'm going to stand over there now. Way over there! |
| 88584 I am curious, Neera. What does a wild surge feel like? |
| 88585 It depends. I never know what to expect. The surges are all different from each other. How does it feel when you cast spells? |
| 88586 Not the same, I am sure. I may feel wrath if the nature of my spell is violent, or calm if it is for healing. Beneath it all, I feel a oneness with nature that never changes. |
| 88587 Maybe it's not so different after all. |
| 88588 Why? You have this sense of oneness when you use magic? |
| 88589 Sort of. My mind becomes part of... something. What, I don't knowâ€â€I don't think it's nature. The Weave, I guess? Or maybe chaos? But yeah, it's kind of like "oneness," except it seems more like I'm looking at it through a window. When my magic is working properly, anyway. |
| 88590 And when it's not? |
| 88591 A wild surge is like that window shattering into a million pieces of glass. |
| 88592 That sounds... unsafe. |
| 88593 I don't mind. If you've been indoors a long time, sometimes you like the feel of a cold gust of wind. |
| 88594 We are not talking about wind and windows. We are talking about power and your mind. Be careful of that glass. |
| 88595 Heya, Imoen! I'm so sorry you had to spend so long in that... place. I can't imagine. Actually, I can, which makes it worse. |
| 88596 Thanks, Neera. I'm just glad I'm out of there. I guess you can relate, what with the Red Wizards on your tail and all. |
| 88597 We ought to form a magical society to strike fear into the hearts of all conspiring wizards! We could battle Red Wizards, Cowled Wizards, wizards who steal souls... What other kinds of wizards are there? We could fight them, too. |
| 88598 I like the sound of that. We'll need a good name, though. I hate Cowled Wizards, Red Wizards, and Irenicus, obviously, but they've got good names. |
| 88599 You're right. I'll think some up and get back to you. |
| 88600 Imoen? I was thinking. Green is the opposite of red, you know? |
| 88601 I wasn't aware of that, but go on. |
| 88602 No books on color theory at Candlekeep? Well, it's true. Green is the opposite of red. And we oppose the Red Wizards of Thay. So how about we call our magical society the Green Wizards of Amn? Zaviak would love it! |
| 88603 I don't think so. We're not actually from Amn, and "green" makes us sound like druids. |
| 88604 You're right, you're right. Did you come up with anything? |
| 88605 I thought about what our enemies have in common, and basically, they're all evil. So if we oppose them, couldn't we be simply the... Good Wizards? |
| 88606 Yes! We could also name our adventuring band "Adventuring Band." Meanwhile, Athkatla could start calling itself "Well-Populated City." |
| 88607 Point taken. This is harder than I thought it would be. |
| 88608 The Soulful Wizards. The Uncowled Wizards. The Uncowled Green Wizards. |
| 88609 I really don't think "green" should be a part of it, even if it is the opposite of red. |
| 88610 The Magical Women. The Wizards of Hope. The Witches of What. |
| 88611 The Witches of What? |
| 88612 Yeah, I don't know where that came from. Wild surge, I guess. |
| 88613 Ooh! The Sorcerers of Surge. |
| 88614 Sorcerers of Surge? That makes no sense. We're not sorcerers, and you don't use wild magic. |
| 88615 I give up! We've spent hours working on this and have nothing. |
| 88616 I don't think it's a bad way to pass the time, but I suppose you're right. Let's give it a rest. |
| 88617 That sounds like a fine idea. |
| 88618 And well it be, ye nattering harpies! Another day of that rot and I'd have cut out yer tongues. |
| 88619 At last you insipid girls end your insipid entertainment. |
| 88620 Boo and Minsc wish you found a good name! But Minsc and Boo are also not sorry you've stopped looking. |
| 88621 Oh, good. I pride myself on my tolerance, but I'd not have been able to take much more. |
| 88622 I could have come up with some good ones! I wish you'd asked me… |
| 88623 Thus ends one of my most severe tests of duty and self-restraint. |
| 88624 I am sad to hear your prattle end. You remind me of my daughters. |
| 88625 And so they cease, and I have an ear for the stream, wind, and wood again. |
| 88626 My sparrows have ceased their twittering? It is good; the cat was ready to pounce. |
| 88627 Finally. Compared to you two, the shrieks of the Abyss are music to my ears. |
| 88628 I have never liked the incantations of mages; their idle chatter is no better. |
| 88629 Mark me, <CHARNAME>â€â€this will be but a temporary respite. Say the word and I shall silence them permanently. |
| 88630 Arvoreen smiles on me this day. |
| 88631 The Landing Buttresses. The Congregation of Yams. The Pollywog Snacks. What? It's over?! Oh no! |
| 88632 We should enjoy the silence while we may. |
| 88633 Let us reflect in silence, blessed silence. |
| 88634 Tell me about yourself, Neera. Is your tale as wild as your magic? |
| 88635 My tale? Well, I come from the High Forest in the north. My childhood was pretty wild, I guess. Ever seen a korred? |
| 88636 I have never even heard of such a thing. |
| 88637 Well, korreds are about the size of halflings, but unlike halflings, they usually wear absolutely nothing. It doesn't really matter, though, because their body hair grows really fast and covers everything up. They're not too friendly, but their dances are a hoot. |
| 88638 Fascinating. Great wonders lie on either end of the Golden Way. You have seen these korredsâ€â€perhaps even danced with them? |
| 88639 Once or twice. Once you start, you can't stop. You can even die doing itâ€â€so it came pretty naturally to me. |
| 88640 Tell me of the High Forest, Neera. |
| 88641 The High Forest? It's very, very big. |
| 88642 Ah, so is the magnificent nation of Shou Lung. Amn would be but a province there, Athkatla but a neighborhood in one of its great cities. |
| 88643 I don't know how the High Forest compares, but like I said, it's big. There are places no one goesâ€â€or no one good, anyway. There were thickets as dark as night, and glades full of sunshine. I miss it sometimes. |
| 88644 Seeing nature's checkerboard of dark and light is lovely indeed. Why did you leave? |
| 88645 I was banished. |
| 88646 Both of us accompany <CHARNAME> with heavy hearts. But come! There is much work to be done. |
| 88647 Neera? C-can I ask you a question? It's justâ€â€well, you seem so self-possessed. How do you do it? How do you make yourself confident? |
| 88648 Self-possessed and confident? Have you MET me? I'm a bundle of nerves! Every time one of my spells goes off, I worry it's going to go way, wayyyy off. |
| 88649 But you cast them anyway. If I feared my spells would go wrong, I don't think I would. |
| 88650 I suppose I keep casting spells because that's who I am. If I stopped, I wouldn't know myself anymore. I'd be a fish without fins, a bird withoutâ€â€uhh... |
| 88651 Without wings? Yes. Flying was that way for me once. Perhaps that is why I feel as I do. |
| 88652 I'm sorry, Aerie! Gods! My foot's so far in my mouth I'm chewing on my ankle! It tastes terrible! Don't cry! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to |
| 88653 It's not your fault, Neera. I just need a moment to myself, please. |
| 88654 Do you remember a conversation we had some time ago? About how your wild magic makes you who you are? |
| 88655 I remember that it ended with you crying. That's Neera! If she can't do you in with uncontrollable arcane might, she'll beat you down with rampant insensitivity. |
| 88656 Don't think about it that way. Remember how you said you wouldn't know yourself anymore if you stopped using wild magic? |
| 88657 Yes. |
| 88658 The magic is a part of you. And just as importantly, the magic is how you make your impression on the things around you. |
| 88659 More or less. I can't always control the impression's size, shape, or color, though. Or smell. Or anything, really. |
| 88660 Right... Well, I realized that flying was wonderful, but... flying above everything didn't help me affect what happened below. |
| 88661 Now, though, my magic and devotion to Baervan Wildwanderer help me change the things around me. Would I have done as much good in the world had I not lost my wings? |
| 88662 No. Maybe? I don't know. If you ask me, what matters is your conviction that you can do good without them. |
| 88663 I dislike you, half-elf. Your shrill voice, your grating humor, and your childish thinking offend me. |
| 88664 Oh. I'm sorry to hear that...? Wait. What... what is that smell? |
| 88665 I smell nothing. |
| 88666 By the gods, what IS that? Oh, wait, Viconia, it's just you. For a moment I thought <CHARNAME> had picked up a powerful cheese while I wasn't looking. |
| 88667 You are ridiculous. Were it not for <CHARNAME>, you would be dead. I do not smell like cheese. |
| 88668 It's not bad, just a little pungent. Maybe you picked up the scent when you still worshipped Lolth? They say she lives in the Demonweb Pits. A place with that kind of name probably doesn't smell very pleasant. |
| 88669 Be glad I do not still follow Lolth; if I did, you would be dying a painful death right now. |
| 88670 All right, Viconia, let me be direct for a second. You like directness, right? You started this conversation, and you started it by insulting me. "I dislike you." That's what you said. |
| 88671 Do you really think people will listen to anything you have to say when you talk to them like that? You called me childish. Is it less childish to threaten me? Yeah, really reasonable and adult. |
| 88672 This conversation is over. |
| 88673 Good. Because you smell, and the smell is only getting stronger. |
| 88674 Oh, Jan! That one was great. Did your Aunt Peony's second husband Lor really divide his property among his six children with a butter knife? They must have been so confused when he came to the furniture! |
| 88675 HAR HAR HAR! The furnitureâ€â€with a butter knife! It's good to hear ye, gnome. Yer talk is good for every season. HAR HAR HAR! |
| 88676 The furniture was nothing. It was when old Lor took his knife to the big keg in the basement that his children started complaining. The basement filled up with turnip stout. Lollycookâ€â€that was the miller's one-eyed son-in-law, the one with the hedgehog (NOT the one with the sister who slew Otis Emerald's prize walking pumpkinâ€â€justifiably, too, as you've never seen a more arrogant pumpkin in your life!)â€â€why, Lollycook came over and lapped up the stout like a thirsty animal! He couldn't stand up straight for days. Meanwhile, the children took to fighting over the six pieces of the keg. One said her piece was too small; another said his was covered with mold; still another said that her piece wasn't wet and didn't smell musty. She suspected a forgery. |
| 88677 How did they settle it? I'm on the edge of my seat here! Well, not literally. Imagine I'm sitting. |
| 88678 Settle it? You give that family too much credit. Lor died not long after. Dividing things with a butter knife is hard work, so by then he'd only made it through one eightieth of his estate. They're still feuding over the rest, as far as I know, as well as what he managed to cut up. |
| 88679 Moral of the story: Whether you're the Lord of Murder or Aunt Peony's second husband, having heirs is tricky business. |
| 88680 Yes, indeed. I don't think anybody really wants to die, do they? That's why gods and mortals alike go out of their way to make their legacies so much trouble. Unfortunately for my Aunt Peony, her third husband was even worse... |
| 88681 I walk with <CHARNAME> because I feel it is my duty to do so, Neera. You might say that my faith in Torm has guided me into <PRO_HISHER> company. Why do you follow <PRO_HIMHER>? If your concern is protecting your wild mage brothers and sisters, do you believe this is truly your path? |
| 88682 Enough with the heavy stuff, Keldorn! I'm just trying to make it from day to day and hold myself together, and now you want me to worry about my path?! What does that even mean, anyway? Isn't my "path" the one I'm on? |
| 88683 In a manner of speaking, it is. But for many, there are two paths: the one you are on, and the one you should be on. |
| 88684 You think I should be somewhere else. I get it. My magic makes you uneasy. |
| 88685 No, not at all. I don't understand it, and I understand you even less, but it would trouble me greatly if you were to leave. |
| 88686 Awww, Keldorn! That is sweet. Really, really sweet. Especially that part about not understanding me. |
| 88687 Ha! That is what I mean. When you speak thus, you remind me of my eldest daughter. I would miss that acerbic tongue of yours! |
| 88688 You'd miss my tongue? Ewww. |
| 88689 See where our paths have led us, Neera? <CHARNAME> walks before us. Soon <PRO_HESHE> will achieve <PRO_HISHER> destiny. Do you still feel this path you walk is your own? |
| 88690 Of course! How could it not be?! I walk it, so it's my path. Even if <CHARNAME> DOES get all the attention. |
| 88691 Then you have no regrets. |
| 88692 I'm sure I do, somewhere. I try not to keep track of them, though. What about you? A little anxious, I take it? |
| 88693 I am not certain, and uncertainty is not something I am fond of. I think my being here is inevitable, but I am not sure it is... desirable. Much depends on our quest's outcome, but I know, deep in my heart, that the outcome is beyond my power to change. |
| 88694 Inevitabilities and outcomes! No offense, Keldorn, but I'm happy not to be as worried as you. I'm a little worried, maybe. About some things. But they're not keeping me up at night. Mostly. |
| 88695 I envy you. |
| 88696 Everything is a whirl of who-knows, but I'm certain about one thing. |
| 88697 And what is your anchor in this "whirl of who-knows," as you put it? |
| 88698 Have you even been listening? That the path I'm on is my own. That's all I really need. |
| 88699 Tame magic is dangerous enough. Your wild magic, Neeraâ€â€why use it? Why endanger those around you with powers you cannot control? |
| 88700 Oh... uh, hi, Valygar! I thought you might ask me something like this. |
| 88701 So? Is increasing your power worth more to you than the safety of your companions? |
| 88702 N-no? I |
| 88703 You haven't thought this through? You are as irresponsible and power-hungry as the rest! |
| 88704 Do not bully her, ranger. |
| 88705 You ask a difficult question, Valygar. Perhaps you should not expect an answer immediately. |
| 88706 I am curious about this myself. I believe honor demands you answer the question, my dear lady. |
| 88707 Iâ€â€I don't know! When you put it like that, I... Can I get back to you on this? |
| 88708 Yes. Surprise me. |
| 88709 So, Neera? Have you considered my question? Can you tell me why using wild magic is worth risking those you care about? |
| 88710 Well, here's the thing. I can control it, mostly. Sometimes it slips out of my control, and you're rightâ€â€then it's a risk. But usually I can make it do what I want, and usually what I want it to do is good! |
| 88711 But let's say it DOES escape your control. Let's say you kill me, or you kill <CHARNAME>. Can't that happen? |
| 88712 It doesn't seem likelyâ€â€I mean, you two are really powerful, and |
| 88713 Stop. Can it happen? |
| 88714 Y-yes. |
| 88715 What entitles you to decide that your power is worth using, then? |
| 88716 I don't know. I don't know! I do it because it's who I am. I'd be a waste of air and flesh otherwise. I do it because I feel like I'd die if I didn't. |
| 88717 Others might die if you do. Others will die BECAUSE you do. Think on that, girl. |
| 88718 There, there, Neera... You have made her cry, Valygar. Your question was just, but your relentless pursuit of it |
| 88719 Do not lecture me about means and ends. That is a speech she should hear, not I. |
| 88720 May I venture to guess, Neera, that you have never been courted by a proper knight? |
| 88721 If by "proper knight," you mean you, then no, but I've got a feeling I'm about to get a taste. |
| 88722 Feeling and tasting come later, dear lady. |
| 88723 Oh, gross! Go away! |
| 88724 Your eyes are as wild as your magic, my dear lady. I dare not gaze into their depths. |
| 88725 Who's daring you? Not me! |
| 88726 A moment of your time, my dear lady. Excuse my dull and graceless talk, but |
| 88727 Okay, you're excused. That it? |
| 88728 I would ask a boon of you. |
| 88729 Please don't, Anomen. |
| 88730 There! You have granted my boon without even knowing it. To hear my name upon your lips was all I desired. |
| 88731 Great. I hate having syllables on my chin. |
| 88732 My dear lady |
| 88733 You know, every time you call me that, I imagine myself with antlers. |
| 88734 Then as your roebuck, I will chase you, Deer Lady, and make you pant in the soft grass. |
| 88735 What? You want pants made of soft grass? This is getting so weird, Anomen. |
| 88736 My dear lady |
| 88737 WHAT?! |
| 88738 I have courted you a long while, and you have resisted my best efforts. Now I invoke the privilege of an earnest lover, the naturally yielding nature of woman, and the equally natural dauntlessness of man. How can I fail with such powers behind me? The time has come. Let me enjoy the sugar upon your lips. |
| 88739 Bloody hells. If it'll give me some peace and quiet, I'll give you what you're asking for. |
| 88740 Truly? |
| 88741 Yes. All you had to do was be a little bold. I like my menâ€â€manly, I guess, or whatever it is you were being. I'll come to you when no one's looking. |
| 88742 Here you go. |
| 88743 What's this?! |
| 88744 I was resistant at first, I'll admit, but once you brought it up, I couldn't stop fantasizing! |
| 88745 Youâ€â€! But I |
| 88746 Do you want me to tell you what I imagined first? Shortbread biscuits with strawberry preserves! I know, I know. Not that creativeâ€â€but so delicious! Then I thought about glazed pears, mincemeat pies, puddings, gingerbread... |
| 88747 But this sack! It's |
| 88748 Yes! A pound of sugar from Waukeen's Promenade. As promised. Get cooking! |
| 88749 Anomen! I am almost embarrassed to request marzipan; it is so excessively sweet. But I do like it. |
| 88750 Heya, Anomen! Taffy is good! Plain old taffy. |
| 88751 Does liking shortbread seem too obvious, Anomen? Because I do! It seems hard to make... Good luck! |
| 88752 I hate sweets, butâ€â€hmm. Candied violets with anise seeds are not bad. Make me some, human. |
| 88753 I would be no halfling if I didn't like cakes of all sorts. Bake me a seed cake, Anomen, and I swear I will be your stalwart sister-in-arms. |
| 88754 Oh, Anomen! I'd love some sweet spiced wine. Our cellars were full of wine from the Vilhon Reach that our cooks would make into the most delicious concoctions... |
| 88755 Lean in, Anomen. Blood and sugar are surprisingly complementary. |
| 88756 What code do you live by, Neera? |
| 88757 Oh, I'm not really into codes. If you want to pass on a secret message, there are spells for that. Codes SOUND like fun, but it's hard enough to communicate as it is. Why come up with ways to make it even harder? |
| 88758 That's not what I meant. I wanted to know about your ethical codeâ€â€the set of beliefs that guides your actions. |
| 88759 My ethical code? Huh. I've never really thought about it. I guess I don't have one. |
| 88760 Then what principles guide you when you're making a hard decision? |
| 88761 No principles! I just work out the best thing to do. |
| 88762 But how do you determine what is best? |
| 88763 Gut instinct? Intuition? Rolling the dice? Drawing lots? Having inklings? Why do you care so much? |
| 88764 I care because if I were you, I would find that unsatisfying. My conscience would not be clear. |
| 88765 Good thing you're not me. To me, your "ethical code" doesn't seem very different from the secret codes I was talking about. It SOUNDS like a good idea, but in the end it just makes figuring things out more difficult. |
| 88766 Some things should be difficult to figure out. |
| 88767 You hail from the High Forest, yes, Neera? I wonder if my travels shall ever take me there. It is a place I'd dearly love to see. |
| 88768 I'd love to go with you, but: banished, you know? |
| 88769 Take comfort in the thought that change is always around usâ€â€alwaysâ€â€and that nothing is more natural than the tree losing its leaves in the fall, or the clouds changing shape in the heavens. |
| 88770 Aw, I like that sort of thing. Trees, clouds, heavens, birds, those weird mushrooms that look like brains... Count me in! |
| 88771 I do not talk of taking comfort in the materials of nature, though they are very beautiful and full of solace. I speak of the change that permeates it. Nature does not want your banishment to last forever. |
| 88772 Are you sure? I think nature isn't too crazy about me. You don't know the whole story. I was banished by a TREE, for crying out loud. The treant Turlangâ€â€ever hear of him? |
| 88773 Yes. Turlang is old and wise, and you were young and... young. If Turlang banished you, there is even greater reason to suspect you were not being punished and that you might someday return. |
| 88774 Not punished? I was kicked out of my home, separated from my kindred. I'm an outcast, a freak of nature, okay? I'm fine with it! Really, I am. |
| 88775 No, you're not. And you were not being punished, as much as it might seem like it. |
| 88776 Then what? What is your argument, exactly? |
| 88777 You were being forced to change. |
| 88778 I don't want to change. I'm not giving up my magic. |
| 88779 I doubt Turlang expected you to. More likely he banished you because he wanted you to grow up WITH your wild magic. |
| 88780 I have been watching you for some time, wild mage, and I am still unsure what to call you. |
| 88781 Why not go with Neera? That's what most people call me. Names are pretty handy that way. |
| 88782 You twitter like a sparrow, but your heartâ€â€is it a raven's or a dove's? |
| 88783 Pretty sure it's a half-elf's, but to be fair, I haven't checked. |
| 88784 That is not what I meant, but you know this, yes? Perhaps I should call you "duck" for the way my meanings roll off your back. |
| 88785 Ah, duck! Have you peered over the side of this mighty bridge? The water below will empty into the sea soon. Do you long to glide along those waters and let the current take you where it will? |
| 88786 Yes, Haer'Dalis. I'd also like to catch some fish in my bright yellow bill. |
| 88787 Do not laugh! Did I not succeed in naming your heart's fondest desire, sweet, foolish duck? To glide on the waters, lazy in the sun? |
| 88788 That doesn't sound too bad. It must be quite the life: food swimming around below you, a sky all yours above you, sitting still and moving along all at once. |
| 88789 I don't know, though. I imagine it could get very dull. |
| 88790 But you forget about the sea, my duck. If you rode the river long enough, you would find yourself there, and thenâ€â€! Then there would be waves, and storms, and deep, deep waters, with fish both friendly and fierce. |
| 88791 Ducks don't usually get that far, do they? |
| 88792 No. But you are no ordinary duck, are you? |
| 88793 I suppose I'm not. |
| 88794 ...Haer'Dalis? |
| 88795 Yes? |
| 88796 I like it. I like "duck." |
| 88797 To hear ye carry on about yer magic, ye'd think we'd get a bloodier show when yer spellslingin' goes ugly. Ye go around pratin' about fire an' ice, an' "wild" this an' "wild" that, but the worst ye e'er do is make the milk go sour or turn some poor critter's hair as pink as yers. |
| 88798 Is this an "all bark, no bite" contest? Because if it is, you win. |
| 88799 Oh sure, turn it around on me, ye rose-tipped willow wand. I'm a bloodthirsty dwarf who says a mouthful, sure, an' it may be that I bark both loud and long. But when I bite, I gnash! When ye bite, if bite ye do, it's a wee nibble, like what comes from a minnow's mouth. |
| 88800 Well, you know what they say about minnows. |
| 88801 Nooo. No, I don't. |
| 88802 They, uh... carry a dangerous stomach parasite? So, you wouldn't want them... nibbling... because they might... give it to you? |
| 88803 Utter rot an' ye know it! For one, that'd mean ye'd have t' nibble on them, hedgeling. For two, it's no good if it takes explaining. |
| 88804 Fine. You win. |
| 88805 HAR HAR! The lass is as tongue-tied as she is magic-addled! She concedes she's the most useless, fizzle-prone, squishy-skulled mageling since the last one who died before ever shooting off a wee magic missile. |
| 88806 I didn't concede any of that! When I said you won, I didn't say you won reality, Korgan. Sheesh. |
| 88807 Oh? Then what did I win? |
| 88808 The "all bark, no bite" contest. Good job! There's an "utterly useless" contest coming upâ€â€you've a good shot at winning that one, too. |
| 88809 Ye don't say? Well then, lass, I hope ye're free to coach me. HAR HAR! |
| 88810 Neera? Can you spare a moment? |
| 88811 I have plenty of spare moments. Of course you can have one! |
| 88812 I just wanted to say Iâ€â€I'm very sorry for what happened to your sanctuary. I know how it must have felt to see your dreams go up in smoke, to have your ideals shaken like that. |
| 88813 It wasn't just my dreamâ€â€it was a dream for everyone else, too. A little grove where we could be ourselves. Don't worry about me, thoughâ€â€I'm feeling better now that the Order's out of the picture. And I wouldn't say my ideals have been shaken. |
| 88814 Oh? You weren't quite yourself until the enclave was destroyed. An eye for an eye, of course. There's a kind of primitive justice in that. But you must still be disappointed things wentâ€â€the way they went. |
| 88815 It wasn't my fault. Hayes was responsible. |
| 88816 Of course, of course. All I'm saying |
| 88817 What are you saying? I can't figure it out. You noble types sure know how to beat around the well-trimmed hedge. |
| 88818 I'm sorry. I just wanted you to know I understand how it feels to have the grim realities of the world challenge your ideals. It's happened to me, too. It KEEPS happening to me, in fact. |
| 88819 I'm sorry to hear that. Let's move on, shall we? |
| 88820 Yes. Pardon. Of course. |
| 88821 Hey, Nalia. I wanted to say sorry if I was a little short with you a while back. Not halfling short. Abrupt, you know? |
| 88822 You mean about what happened in the Hidden Refuge? |
| 88823 Yes. It was... a sensitive topic for me. |
| 88824 I know. You can blame me too: I was presumptuous to bring it up. |
| 88825 No, no. Looking back now, it all seems so small and quaint and unreal. With all the death and war we've seen, I don't know if there's really any such thing as safety. There's no utopia, that's for sure. |
| 88826 So your ideals were shaken after all. |
| 88827 Yep. And every day they get shaken a little more. Soon, all that's left will be ideal soup. |
| 88828 If it's any comfort, I feel the same way. Maybe we could share. We could become old women together and live on ideal soup. |
| 88829 The world's grim realities still challenging your ideals, huh? |
| 88830 Every day. |
| 88831 You don't frighten me, Sarevok. |
| 88832 Ah, <CHARNAME>'s impetuous and whimsical wild mage finally speaks to me. But I don't frighten her, she says. If it's true, why must she declare it? Is she trying to convince herself of her courage, as she tries to convince herself of so many other things? |
| 88833 I'm standing right here, you know. I can hear you. |
| 88834 Wishful thinking on my part, I suppose. That or I'm a golem. |
| 88835 Wishful thinking? I bet you do a lot of that, what with your half-<PRO_BROTHERSISTER> climbing the tree you thought only you could climb. |
| 88836 Why do you pester me, mageling? |
| 88837 Because you tried to kill <CHARNAME>? Because you tried to instigate a massacre on the Sword Coast? No. Because I don't trust you and want you to know it. |
| 88838 A wild mage lectures me about trust? That is rich. Why do you not pester <CHARNAME>? |
| 88839 Why would I? |
| 88840 Because you have less reason to trust <PRO_HIMHER> than you do me. Because <PRO_HESHE> might very wellâ€â€SHOULD very wellâ€â€cast us all aside and become a god. |
| 88841 I wouldn't just be "cast aside." |
| 88842 Do you think the gods invite mortals to dinner or traipse about the countryside with them? Becoming divine means forgetting all of that. The distance 'twixt life and death is nothing compared to the gulf between mortality and godhood. |
| 88843 Like you know. Like you could EVER know. |
| 88844 I have learned things few have ever learned. I am no virtuous man, but I do not lie when I say I know these things to be true. |
| 88845 You think you have everyone fooled, girl. Not me. |
| 88846 You know my secret? My magic is all just sleight of hand? Shhh! Don't tell anyone. |
| 88847 Drop the act. You know what I'm talking aboutâ€â€your false innocence, your carelessness, the way you pretend to value the interests of others. |
| 88848 Act? There's no act. I don't act; I don't even lieâ€â€or, hardly ever. What are you going on about, Dorn?! |
| 88849 I've seen the look in your eyes, half-elf, when your magic's power increases. I know what it means. I feel the same thing when I slay the weak. Your magic is wild, Neera. You cannot control it, and you cast it anyway. Would someone who was truly good do that? |
| 88850 You're wrong. You're wrong! And do NOT look into my eyes. It's creepy. Also, slaying the weak? Creepy AND bad. |
| 88851 Hah! Your unwillingness to acknowledge the truth damns you. As one of the damned myself, I shall call you sister. |
| 88852 Please don't, or I'll start calling you creepy uncle. |
| 88853 Call me what you will; I'll call you what you are. Someday, the evil within you will prevail. As your power increases, your restraint grows weaker and weaker. |
| 88854 I've had enough of this! Don't speak to me about this again. Do not speak to ME again! |
| 88855 Hrmm. So imperious! As you wish. I will simply watch... and wait. |
| 88856 Boo is a fuzzy little hamster. Minsc believes Boo is a miniature giant space hamster, but there is little actual evidence to support this. Boo's normally golden fur has been turned pink by Neera the Wild Mage. |

| 88861 Shield of Fyrus Khal +2 |
| 88862 Fyrus Khal and his wife Amanis were well-known entertainers across Calimshan. They would travel from city to city, festival to festival, performing feats of magic and acrobatic skill. As part of their act, Fyrus would enter into a mock argument with his wife, who would hurl spells at him in a staged fit of rage. His shield, painted with a colorful and intricate design, would bounce the harmless spells back at her to the delight of the crowd.

| 88863 Wild Sling +1 |
| 88864 Whenever wild mages congregate, strange things happen. Items take on bizarre properties, and spells by non-wild mages can surge unexpectedly. This sling is an item altered by a large concentration of wild mages. When a bullet is hurled from the sling, it absorbs wild magical energy, transferring it to the target when the bullet strikes. In addition to being quite painful, the bullet will cause any spell cast by the target in the next round to be affected by a wild surge. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – Target must save vs. Spell or suffer 100% chance of wild surge for 1 round THAC0: +1 Damage: +1 (missile) Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Sling Type: One-handed Requires: 3 Strength Weight: 1 |
| 88865 Tabby Cat |
| 88866 Not famous for their amiability or willingness to sit still in enclosed spaces, feral cats prefer freedom to everything but fish.

| 88870 This handsome pewter tankard conforms to the shape of your hand surprisingly wellâ€â€or perhaps unsurprisingly, as it appears to be yours. "<CHARNAME>" is engraved upon it in large, angular characters. You feel an odd strength course through you when you hold it, not unlike the brief euphoria which often precedes, by one long, fitful sleep, an even longer day of misery. The tankard was a gift from Mironda, the dwarven wild mage and beer connoisseur. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Restore 2d8 Hit Points three times per day Weight: 3 |
| 88871 Halfling's Help |
| 88872 This cask has been stamped "BELUIR." Inside is Halfling's Help, a light-gold wheat beer from Luiren, land of the halflings in the south of Faerûn. Mironda, the dwarven wild mage for whom you retrieved the cask from Vyatri's Pub in Trademeet, hoped it would live up to its reputation. Connoisseurs describe Halfling's Help as a bubbly hefeweizen that tastes like strawberries and sun-dappled meadows while packing a high-alcohol punch. STATISTICS: Weight: 10 |

| 88877 The Brick +2 |
| 88878 Typically, when wizards select items to magically enchant, they choose finely crafted weapons or suits of armor. The wild mage Reginald selected a pole with a brick attached to the end. While effective, it is not aesthetically pleasing. In addition to radiating an aura of wild magic, when hurled at an enemy, the Brick will magically return to the thrower. Being struck by the Brick disrupts whatever spell was being cast at the time. "Nobody beats the Brick!"

| 88879 Graaaaah! |
| 88880 The obvious choice. |
| 88881 This endless toil cannot continue. I grow tired. |
| 88882 We are wasting time. Let's get going. |
| 88883 I require healing now. |
| 88884 Huh? |
| 88885 What? |
| 88886 Get on with it. |
| 88887 All right then. |
| 88888 Huh? |
| 88889 Yes. |
| 88890 Ugh. |
| 88891 Aaaah! |
| 88892 Very well. |
| 88893 Just as I would have thought. |
| 88894 Isn't this great? You don't wanna know how many eyelashes I had to yank out to make this work! |
| 88895 This will be simple. |
| 88896 No time at all. |
| 88897 Yes? |
| 88898 What would you ask? |
| 88899 Gra! |
| 88900 Hahaha! |
| 88901 Everyone will benefit under my leadership. |
| 88902 Oh, you know, I could really use some rest. |
| 88903 This is getting us nowhere. Let's do... something. |
| 88904 My wounds could use some attention. |
| 88905 Hmm? |
| 88906 I'm waiting. |
| 88907 Yes? |
| 88908 Nothing to it. |
| 88909 Very well. |
| 88910 Whatever you want. |
| 88911 If you say so. |
| 88912 Of course. |
| 88913 If that's what you want. |
| 88914 Whatever you desire. |
| 88915 Uh! |
| 88916 Ugh! |

| 88924 You sell drinks? |
| 88925 I don't need a drink right now, but I do have some questions. |
| 88926 I'm very busy at the moment. Sorry. |
| 88927 Name's Mironda. Pleased to see yer face and make its acquaintance. I'm no good with names; if ye can remember mine, ye've already beaten me. I forgot yers by the end of the first syllable. |
| 88928 Nah, I just try and keep camp spirits up for free, no sellin'. There's nothin' to do in the woods but drink and do as the beasts do, but there ain't no beasts here, just loons, if ye catch me. So it's like my ma used to say: "Drink's my husband, drink's my lord, and drink's my tryst when I get bored." |
| 88929 I do have some questions, if you don't mind. |
| 88930 I see. Well, good to meet you. I should be going. |
| 88931 Aye, ye're all business, I see. We need more o' that type around here, let me tell ye. |
| 88932 Go ahead and ask! |
| 88933 You're a dwarf AND a wild mage? I've never heard of such a thing. |
| 88934 How did you come to be here? |
| 88935 You're quite a drinker, eh? |
| 88936 Actually, I should be going. Farewell. |
| 88937 Aye, it's odd enough. But ye've heard of a dwarf who likes to drink, I'm sure, so at least I'm half-right, aye? |
| 88938 I meant no offense. |
| 88939 Or at least half-wrong! |
| 88940 Perhaps. Let me ask you something different. |
| 88941 None taken! None taken! I was just toyin' with ye. |
| 88942 Now, as to yer question! Don't know why, but since I was a lass, there were always two things I wanted more than anything else in lifeâ€â€to make my foes go WHOOSH and strong, endless drink. I had talent, aye! Rare talent. WILD talent. Lost my clan because of it, but there's some trades worth making. |
| 88943 Was that all, or do ye have something else that needs askin'? |
| 88944 I do have another question, actually. |
| 88945 No, that's all. Farewell. |
| 88946 Ooh, ye're sharp. A clever tongue! Now THAT'S something I like in a <PRO_MANWOMAN>. |
| 88947 That's quite a tale. I'll just give ye the short version. I was one of the very first Telana and Neera rescued. I was already in the Order's clutches when those two flanked my escorts and let loose with some of the wildest, heaven-heaving stuff I'd ever seen! |
| 88948 Nahal's reckless dweomer is SOME spell, I'll say. Anyway, I made myself home here quick enough after that. |
| 88949 I've had my share. Ha! I see that look. MORE than my share, though not more than my fair shareâ€â€any share is fair enough to me, be it more than a thimble. Soâ€â€I'm yer average dwarf. Except for one thing, maybe... |
| 88950 Maybe it's the wild mage in me comin' out, but I can't stand not tastin' something new once in a while. Most dwarves will drink the same mountain swill from crib to dust-crib, but I'm always hankering for the latest brew. Old Vyatri in Trademeet was just getting a shipment from Luiren I'd dearly love to sample. If ye happen to run by his place in yer travels, get a cask of it for me and I'll pay ye well! |
| 88951 Ye're back, I see. What can I do for ye? |
| 88952 I was hoping I could ask you some questions. |
| 88953 I have the beer from Vyatri's you wanted. |
| 88954 Nothing at the moment. Farewell. |
| 88955 So ye do! That's the stuff, right there! I'll take that, thank ye very much. Can't wait to taste it. Halfling's Help, it's calledâ€â€I hope it works on dwarves, too. |
| 88956 You're welcome, Mironda. |
| 88957 It was no problem, Mironda, and hardly cost us anything. |
| 88958 I was hoping you'd be able to give me something in return? |
| 88959 I'd not ask ye to lug a cask here just because I thought ye could use the exercise! Now, I don't know if I ever told ye I was bad with names. I'm bad with most things requiring memory, except for magic. |
| 88960 That's a lot of rot; it had to cost ye something. |
| 88961 But of course, but of course. |
| 88962 But I asked Telana again what yers was, and she told me, and I thoughtâ€â€as ye were trying to help out and allâ€â€that I ought to remember it a little better. I made this so we could share this brew if ye ever brung it to me. |
| 88963 Why, it's a tankard! A tankard with my name on it! |
| 88964 Not quite what I expected, but thanks. |
| 88965 This is my reward? I ought to knock you over the head with it! |
| 88966 That it is, that it is! |
| 88967 No? Well, if there's one thing bein' a wild mage has taught me, it's not to expect anything to go the way ye think. |
| 88968 Nay! Don't, ye'd kill me. If it was just a plain old tankard, mayhaps ye wouldn'tâ€â€I've been in one or two bar brawls before. |
| 88969 But this is no ordinary tankard. Knocktor helped me make it. There's wild magic in there. Use it wisely. Ha ha, just kidding! Use it whenever the Hells ye want. |
| 88970 What're you looking at? Move along, and take that half-elf with you. |
| 88971 Stand aside, mercenary. We have business with your paymasters. |
| 88972 I know what this place is. I'd like to purchase some wares. |
| 88973 I'm afraid I can't do that. It's nothing personal, but no servant of the Red Wizards will leave here alive. |
| 88974 That's the spirit! |
| 88975 Let us in. Now. |
| 88976 And what business would that be? If they were hiring girls like you to come visit, I'd have been told. |
| 88977 Say another word and I'll turn your insides into outsides. Please. Say another word. |
| 88978 Listen to her. Run away now. This place is about to become a hole in the ground. |
| 88979 Calm down, Neera... Listen. Let us in and we won't hurt you. |
| 88980 Let me handle this, Neera. Now, you seem like a reasonable man. How much will it take to get us inside? |
| 88981 I've got this one, Neera. I'll charm him. |
| 88982 He's said more than enough already. |
| 88983 You think you can just |
| 88984 I told him not to say another word. |
| 88985 How did you do that? |
| 88986 Neera! Whatâ€â€what were you thinking? |
| 88987 I'm impressed. Onward. |
| 88988 Wild surge, duh. In we go. |
| 88989 If you put it that way, I think |
| 88990 Yes, I understand. |
| 88991 We're not open for business at the moment. |
| 88992 Yeah, we really, REALLY don't care. |
| 88993 Curell of Tempus |
| 88994 Molzahn of Tymora |
| 88995 Laris of Garagos |
| 88996 I really could use a rest for a while. |
| 88997 I'm sure there's something else we could be doing. |
| 88998 Not to dampen anyone's spirits, but I could really use some help here. |
| 88999 Yup. |
| 89000 Something you need? |
| 89001 Just point me in the right direction. |
| 89002 Okay. |
| 89003 Sure thing. |
| 89004 If you say so. |
| 89005 Got it. |
| 89006 Just gimme a sec. |
| 89007 I'm there. |
| 89008 It's done. |
| 89009 Ah! |
| 89010 Augh! |
| 89011 Ready to go. |
| 89012 Name it! |
| 89013 Oh, that'll smart! |
| 89014 You will fall by my hand! |
| 89015 Of course. I'm the best choice. |
| 89016 I must rest soon. I am weak when I am tired. |
| 89017 There are far better things to do than sit and wait. |
| 89018 I will require healing as soon as possible. |
| 89019 Yes? |
| 89020 What is it? |
| 89021 Speak. |
| 89022 It will be done. |
| 89023 Certainly. |
| 89024 Without doubt. |
| 89025 Ah! |
| 89026 Uh! |
| 89027 Quickly and precisely. |
| 89028 Without hesitation. |
| 89029 This will not take long. |
| 89030 If it must be done. |
| 89031 I am listening. |
| 89032 Direct me as you will. |
| 89033 Yes! |
| 89034 Raugh! |
| 89035 No one is more worthy. |
| 89036 I need rest if I am to fight. |
| 89037 We should not waste time like this. |
| 89038 My wounds must be tended to. |
| 89039 Yes? |
| 89040 What? |
| 89041 Huh? |
| 89042 If you wish. |
| 89043 Ah. |
| 89044 Yeah yeah. |
| 89045 Ah! |
| 89046 Ugh! |
| 89047 Hmm. |
| 89048 It is done. |
| 89049 As I thought. |
| 89050 Simple. |
| 89051 What do you want? |
| 89052 Out with it. |
| 89053 Dyaaah! |
| 89054 Let's do this quick and painful. |
| 89055 I'll get the job done whether a leader or not. |
| 89056 I'm no use to anyone tired. |
| 89057 I've work to do. This sitting around is useless. |
| 89058 If I don't get some healing, this is gonna be a real short trip! |
| 89059 Yeah? |
| 89060 Give me some direction. |
| 89061 I'm waiting. |
| 89062 I hope this is worth it. |
| 89063 I'll see to it. |
| 89064 It's done. |
| 89065 Rah! |
| 89066 Eh. Uuuh. |
| 89067 I'm there. |
| 89068 If it must be done. |
| 89069 It's probably best left to me. |
| 89070 Not a concern. |
| 89071 I'm willing. |
| 89072 What is it? |
| 89073 Yeah. |
| 89074 To battle! With no regrets! |
| 89075 I shall endeavor to be an inspiring example. |
| 89076 I feel the pace we have set is too much for me. I must rest. |
| 89077 There must be more adventurous things we could be doing. |
| 89078 Don't want to bother, but I could use some help. |
| 89079 Yes? |
| 89080 Mhmm? |
| 89081 Something you need? |
| 89082 Of course! |
| 89083 I wouldn't dream of refusing. |
| 89084 Oh, yes! |
| 89085 Uh! |
| 89086 Aaaaugh. |
| 89087 Just as I thought! |
| 89088 Onward then. |
| 89089 To the task at hand. |
| 89090 As you will. |
| 89091 Whatever I can do to help. |
| 89092 Just name what you want. |
| 89093 Haha! |
| 89094 To battle and victory. |
| 89095 I will strive to lead responsibly. |
| 89096 I must rest for our cause to succeed. |
| 89097 I should make better use of time. |
| 89098 I require assistance with my wounds. |
| 89099 Yes? |
| 89100 What is my task? |
| 89101 On my honor. |
| 89102 It shall be. |
| 89103 Consider it done. |
| 89104 I will do my best. |
| 89105 Ugh! |
| 89106 Uuuugh... |
| 89107 Yes. |
| 89108 Very well. |
| 89109 Done. |
| 89110 As you ask. |
| 89111 Hmm? |
| 89112 I await your word. |
| 89113 A solid hit. |
| 89114 To battle, and victory! |
| 89115 I will strive to lead responsibly. |
| 89116 I must rest for our cause to succeed. |
| 89117 I should make better use of time. |
| 89118 I require assistance with my wounds. |
| 89119 Yes? |
| 89120 What is my task? |
| 89121 On my honor. |
| 89122 It shall be. |
| 89123 Consider it done. |
| 89124 I will do my best. |
| 89125 Ugh! |
| 89126 Uuuugh... |
| 89127 Yes. |
| 89128 Very well. |
| 89129 Done. |
| 89130 As you ask. |
| 89131 Hmm? |
| 89132 I await your word. |
| 89133 A solid hit. |
| 89134 You're not so tough. |
| 89135 Huh. Now that I'm in charge, we'll be sure to have some fun. |
| 89136 Huh. Now that I'm in charge, we'll be sure to have some fun. |
| 89137 You're not so tough. |
| 89138 You feel a slight tingling sensation while holding the talisman. |
| 89139 Teleport to the Hidden Refuge. |
| 89140 Put the talisman away. |
| 89141 You invoke the teleportation spell, draining the talisman of its magic in the process. |
| 89142 Something in the area seems to be disrupting the magic of the talisman. You are unable to invoke the teleportation spell. |
| 89143 Look at all these buildings and people! Baldur's Gate was huge, but this place makes it look like my hamlet back in the High Forest. |
| 89144 Impressive, isn't it? |
| 89145 Imagine how it looks to me. I grew up in a library. |
| 89146 It's not so impressive. Waterdeep and Calimport are bigger. |
| 89147 Very! |
| 89148 There seems to be no end to the things you can do. Not like the High Forest. I mean, there WAS lots to do, but most of it was pretty dull. There weren't all these people milling around. |
| 89149 I wonder if the city is really any less lonely. |
| 89150 That doesn't sound too terrible. I'm very much at home in the wilds. |
| 89151 You don't talk much about the High Forest. It was lonely? |
| 89152 I'm sure that's true. But come, we have much to do. |
| 89153 I forgot how cosmopolitan you are, what with all those maps the monks at Candlekeep made you study. I'm not saying Athkatla's the biggest city ever. But it's bigger than anything I've ever seen. |
| 89154 I forgot you're from Candlekeep. Athkatla must look just as big to you, if not bigger. |
| 89155 Sure, sure. On we go. |
| 89156 It would be if you weren't traveling with a bunch of powerful, amusing companions. But a different kind of lonely from what you feel in the High Forest. |
| 89157 You could doze off there, wake up, and not know where you were or how long you'd been asleep. It was like the rest of the world had stopped. The trees and animals were still there, obviously. But they never paid much attention... until I started accidentally burning things down, of course. It was the purest kind of lonely. |
| 89158 And was feeling that way good or bad? |
| 89159 That doesn't sound terrible. Except for the bit about burning things down. |
| 89160 I think I'd rather awake in a keep, with a loving spouse, a loyal hound, and some servants. |
| 89161 Of course. Well, we should get moving. |
| 89162 You'd have loved the High Forest, then. |
| 89163 Domestic bliss, eh? Not my cup of tea. I don't even like teaâ€â€and bliss is probably overrated. Let's go. |
| 89164 Neither entirely. More good than bad, I think. |
| 89165 It wasn't too bad. More good than bad. I think. |
| 89166 I was banished because I didn't fit in. Well, that and burning things. But I DID fit in, in a way. That pure kind of lonely, that solitudeâ€â€I always think about that. Want it. Good or bad, it's who I am. |
| 89167 Is it? |
| 89168 I think I understand. Part of me feels the same way. Only a part, though. |
| 89169 What if you were to fall in love? |
| 89170 Interesting. I'll have to think about that. Ready to move? |
| 89171 It is right now. Who knows how the Neera of the future will think? |
| 89172 We'll find out. |
| 89173 Indeed. Onward. |
| 89174 Maybe it's only a part of me, too. Like my stomach, except it wants solitude and not a sandwich. Or maybe it wants solitude AND a sandwich. Oh, now I'm just making things up. Let's get moving, yes? |
| 89175 Yes. We have much to do, oh child of the woods. |
| 89176 Indeed. Onward. |
| 89177 Hey! Um... Remember when I said I was seeing someone back in Baldur's Gate, after you and Iâ€â€uh, after we parted ways? |
| 89178 I remember it very well. |
| 89179 Mm-hm. |
| 89180 That's something I'd rather not remember. |
| 89181 Hey! Uh... We've been getting to know each other pretty well, right? So... I thought I'd mention I was seeing someone. Recently. Before I came to Amn, back on the Sword Coast. |
| 89182 Oh really? What happened? |
| 89183 You've piqued my curiosity. My morbid curiosity. |
| 89184 Interesting, but we don't have time for idle talk. |
| 89185 Right. Sorry. Forget I said anything. |
| 89186 It'sâ€â€it didn't end well. Actually, I'm not sure it really ended at all. It justâ€â€I sort of left. |
| 89187 Really? |
| 89188 Did he mistreat you in some way? |
| 89189 Not the most graceful way to end a relationship. |
| 89190 Mistreat me? Ha! No. Unless you count saying sweet things and giving me gifts as mistreatment. No, no: I mistreated him. |
| 89191 This is what happened: I woke up one morning and saw him lying there, and I knew it couldn't go on. He didn't look bad or anything. I justâ€â€knew. So I got up, got my things together, and walked out. |
| 89192 Why didn't you talk to him? |
| 89193 I'm not sure I understand. |
| 89194 I would have done the same, in your shoes. |
| 89195 Cold. |
| 89196 Ha. Ha ha. Right. Ha ha. |
| 89197 We have something in common. |
| 89198 I'm afraid so. |
| 89199 I was afraid, I guess. Not of him, I just... I didn't want to see him hurt. I've hurt plenty of people, of course. Usually with magic, and usually by accident. It's happened again and again. But I couldn't bear to see... his face, to know I was responsible for how he felt. |
| 89200 Why are you telling me this, Neera? |
| 89201 You clearly feel responsible, whether you see him or not. |
| 89202 If it makes you feel any better, there's no chance of you breaking MY heart. Can we get moving? |
| 89203 Nice to know you're as bad a person as I am. |
| 89204 Hey, not nice! Accurate, but really not nice. It was more than that, though |
| 89205 I justâ€â€thought you should know. I don't want to say, uh, "This is this!" or "That is that!" Because you'd have no idea what I was talking about. I just thought you should know what you're getting into in case |
| 89206 In case I start to have feelings for you? |
| 89207 In case I still have feelings for you? |
| 89208 In case of what? |
| 89209 If it makes you feel any better, you'll not break MY heart. Can we get moving? |
| 89210 I'm not getting into anything. We are friends, Neeraâ€â€nothing more. |
| 89211 Hey, maybe you could try being a little more loud and straightforward?! But yes, SOMETHING like that. I'm not saying you do. And I'm not saying I do. Butâ€â€there it is. |
| 89212 I see. Well, I'm not saying anything one way or the other, but... thank you. |
| 89213 Neera... you're a good friend. And that's all you are. |
| 89214 You know. Feelings. I'm not saying you have any. I mean, obviously you have feelings. But not about me. Uh, maybe. And I'm not saying I doâ€â€have feelings about you. Butâ€â€there it is. |
| 89215 I see. Well, I'm not saying anything one way or the other either, but... thank you. |
| 89216 My feelings for you do not go beyond friendship, Neera. |
| 89217 Boy, am I glad that's over. Can we get moving? Fast? I can jog on ahead and do some scouting... |
| 89218 I never thought I'd travel so long with a fighter. Swords, armorâ€â€that stuff does nothing for me. You're interesting, though. More interesting than most warriors I've met. |
| 89219 You know, I never thought I'd travel with a holy warrior so long. Gods, crusadesâ€â€that's book stuff to me. You're interesting, though. |
| 89220 You know, <CHARNAME>, I never thought I'd travel so long with someone so at home in nature. When I left the High Forest, I thought I was leaving all that behind. |
| 89221 Who'd have thought I'd end up traveling with a priest? I mean, you guys are really good for healing, but I never thoughtâ€â€well, I enjoy your company. |
| 89222 You know, if you told me a few years ago I'd spend my days traveling around Amn with a monk, I'd have said you were crazy. I really don't get you guysâ€â€the praying and fasting and weird tenets. |
| 89223 You know, it makes sense that I'm traveling with you. We both use magic. And pretty well, if I do say so myself. |
| 89224 I love traveling with a bard. You don't sing or recite sonnets as much as I'd like, but I suppose there's a time and place for that. |
| 89225 Somehow, I always knew I'd end up traveling around the countryside with a no-good thief. *sigh* I'm sure it's what everyone else expected too. But, of course, you're no common cutpurse. |
| 89226 Guess it serves me right to have to wander around Amn in the company of a no-good blackguard. I've got to admit, I feel a bit ashamed sticking with someone of your crazy beliefs. I guess I just don't believe you're completely irredeemable. Yet. |
| 89227 Look at me, wandering through the countryside in the company of a mysterious orphan with a great destiny. It's almostâ€â€mythical, really. "The Legend of Neera and <CHARNAME>." |
| 89228 To be fair, thoughâ€â€I have no idea how it is for you. Traveling around with me, I mean. Are you surprised to be hanging out with a headstrong wild mage? |
| 89229 I never expected to end up in the company of a beautiful, headstrong wild mage. |
| 89230 Not at all. The minute I left Candlekeep, I thought, "I wonder when I'll run into a pretty half-elven wild mage?" |
| 89231 I expected almost none of the extraordinary things that have happened to me. |
| 89232 Nothing surprises me. |
| 89233 Ugh. I'll try to forget you said that. |
| 89234 Second question. "Headstrong." Is that accurate? Is that how you'd describe me? No right answer, I won't judge youâ€â€I just want to know what you really think. |
| 89235 Headstrong? It's fair, I'd say. It's one of the things I like about you. |
| 89236 Second question? Does this mean there will be a third? If I'd known I'd be tested, I'd have studied harder. |
| 89237 No. You may be headstrong, but I wouldn't use that word to describe you. You'reâ€â€you. |
| 89238 I think you only seem to be headstrong. Now that I know you better, I'd say you're a lot like other women. |
| 89239 Pretty? You know what I like best about you, <CHARNAME>? Your keen skills of observation. |
| 89240 So, I'm extraordinary? I can see that. |
| 89241 Oooh. Never heard that before. |
| 89242 I said there was no right answer, but... wrong answer. "A lot like other women?" Are all women the same? Do you think that's a compliment to me? To them? Well, guess what: You're a lot like other men. |
| 89243 You charmer, you. |
| 89244 Whatever. We should get back to what we were doing. |
| 89245 Nice try, <CHARNAME>. The class clown routine might have worked on the monks at Candlekeep, but I'm a bit more focused. You'll find I'm not so easily distracted. So: headstrong? Is that what I am? |
| 89246 Sure. It's one of the things I like about you. |
| 89247 You may be headstrong, but I wouldn't use that word to describe you. You'reâ€â€Neera. |
| 89248 You only seem headstrong. Now that I know you, I'd say you're a lot like other women. |
| 89249 That's nice to hear. Really! |
| 89250 I don't mind being called uncontrollable and unpredictable, really. It's just thatâ€â€well, there's more to me than that. At least I hope there is. After a while, "She wild mage! She wild!" starts sounding a little... dismissive, you know? |
| 89251 Phew! This is RIDICULOUS. I feel like fighting's becoming second nature to meâ€â€like breathing, or craving cheese. |
| 89252 It's a consequence of the life we lead. Are you all right with it? |
| 89253 It IS second nature to me. The fighting, not the cheese craving. Though now that I think of it, I could go for a nice hunk of cheese. |
| 89254 You're still Neera at heart. Don't let it worry you. |
| 89255 I'm not sure. I like feeling powerfulâ€â€who doesn't? But sometimes I worry... Nah. Never mind. |
| 89256 Go ahead, I'm listening. |
| 89257 So be it. I don't think you should be concerned. |
| 89258 You don't have to worry about anything with me around. |
| 89259 Fighting would be natural to youâ€â€child of Bhaal and all that. But me? |
| 89260 Thanks for the vote of confidence. But honestly? |
| 89261 Ha! That's a good one. It seems like having you around MAKES me have things to worry about. |
| 89262 Is that so? Dismissive much? |
| 89263 As time goes on, I'm seeing things more clearly. Wild mages open themselves up to chaos. You look into it. As I get more powerful, I see more of it more clearly each time I look. |
| 89264 An unnerving development, I'm sure. But the solution seems simple enoughâ€â€close your eyes and look elsewhere. |
| 89265 And that worries you? |
| 89266 Power is nothing to fear. Do not look away from it. |
| 89267 Wow. That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and I've talked to some profoundly stupid people in my time. Power is the ONLY thing to fear. Well, maybe not the only. Death and insanity, also pretty frightening. The chaos I see has both. |
| 89268 Well, yeah. When I peer into that chaos, it's equal parts terror and ecstasy. Sometimes I can't tell them apart. |
| 89269 I can't do that! It's part of being a wild mage. I'm not giving that up. But gazing into that chaos CAN be disturbing. It's equal parts terror and ecstasy. Sometimes I can't tell them apart. |
| 89270 Okay, cheery thoughts! What's a good cheery thought? Um, you smellâ€â€wow!â€â€you smell really good! |
| 89271 Impossible! I stink of battle. |
| 89272 Oh, really? Like what? |
| 89273 You're trying to change the subject. |
| 89274 No, not at all! You smell really good... Okay, okay. I might be exaggerating a little, but go with it. Lean over here; let me get a whiff of you... |
| 89275 Incense and peppermint! Okay, not really. More like oregano. Try to go with it, though. Come closer, let me get a decent whiff of you... |
| 89276 What's the matter? Self-conscious about your smell? Worried it mightâ€â€do things to me? Don't worry, it's not having TOO much of an effect. Maybe lean over here and let me get a better whiff… |
| 89277 ...Okay, enough smooching! We're lagging behind. |
| 89278 So... I suppose we should talk about what happened last night. What weâ€â€uh, what you and I did. |
| 89279 "What you and I did"? |
| 89280 Yes, I think we should. What did it mean to you? |
| 89281 My new favorite subject! I had a great time, did you? |
| 89282 Come on, do I really have to be explicit? It involved heavier breathing than normal. |
| 89283 Oh right! Well, what did it mean to you? |
| 89284 My new favorite subject. I, for one, had a great time. |
| 89285 What did it "mean"? Wellâ€â€I don't know. Does it have to "mean" something? Not that it didn't mean anything. It's justâ€â€I'm not sure. |
| 89286 Good! Me too. But I think you already knew that. |
| 89287 Had you done thatâ€â€before? |
| 89288 Yes. Not long after defeating Sarevok, before I was kidnapped. |
| 89289 Uh, yes! Of... of course! |
| 89290 No. I grew up in a library filled with monks, remember? |
| 89291 Of course. You couldn't tell? |
| 89292 So, you had your Sword Coast dalliances as well. |
| 89293 You say that SO convincingly. I'd say you were lying, but you didn't seem completely lost last night. |
| 89294 And I grew up in a forest filled with treants. But we've both been away from home for a while. People find ways. |
| 89295 I could. You certainly knew what you were about. |
| 89296 I kind of already told you about Avrum, the man back in Baldur's Gate. |
| 89297 So, he has a name, finally. |
| 89298 No, you didn't tell me that, not directly. |
| 89299 I'll not forget that name. I don't suppose you'll give me his last name, too? I'll have to pay him a visit when this is all over. |
| 89300 Yes, Avrum. He was a scribe. Don't make that face! He was a tall, handsome scribe. Anyway |
| 89301 Ha, I guess you're right. I suppose I convinced myself I had, because I told you what happened next. |
| 89302 It was the morning after weâ€â€uh, you know... that I decided to leave him. |
| 89303 I see. Do you feel different about me, after last night? |
| 89304 He was no <CHARNAME>, I take it. Didn't measure up? |
| 89305 So now you pack your bags? |
| 89306 Don't even THINK about doing that to me, hear me? |
| 89307 Are you serious? Please stop. If you think some half-baked manly rage is going to impress me, think again. Anyway |
| 89308 Why do men ask questions they really don't want the answers to? |
| 89309 The male ego can be a delicate and fragile creature. Do you feel different about me now, after last night? |
| 89310 So now you pack your bags? |
| 89311 Don't even THINK about treating me like you did him. You hear me? |
| 89312 Whoa! Really? Or what? Maybe Avrum isn't the one I should have left. Bye, <CHARNAME>. It was fun until you gotâ€â€like THIS. |
| 89313 I don't feel like leaving, if that's what you mean. Maybe I'm not the same person I was when I was with Avrum. Or maybe it's something about you. In any case, last night made me feelâ€â€I don't know, a little closer to you. It's scary. Kind of like getting a wild surge. |
| 89314 What do you mean? |
| 89315 I've gotten that before. |
| 89316 Ha! No. I don't feel like leaving you. Maybe I'm not the same person I was when I left Avrum. Or maybe it's something about you. In any case, last night only made me feelâ€â€I don't know, a little closer to you. It's scary. Kind of like getting a wild surge. |
| 89317 What do you mean? |
| 89318 A wild surge, eh? I like the sound of that. |
| 89319 Ha ha. Nice try. But that's not what I meant. |
| 89320 When I get a wild surge, I see into chaos. It's full of terror and ecstasy. Sometimes I don't know which is which. That uncertainty is something like what I feel now. |
| 89321 Some people call it love. |
| 89322 I think I know what you mean. |
| 89323 Maybe that's all it isâ€â€fear, uncertainty. |
| 89324 Do they? Is love the same for all people? I don't know. |
| 89325 How can you, when I'm me and you're you? I don't know. I hear people talk about love, and they all seem to know what they mean. |
| 89326 I'm not sure I know anything about what most people call love. Butâ€â€whatever it is I'm feeling right now, it feels pretty good. |
| 89327 I think I'd know if it was fear. Everyone knows what fear is like; everyone's been afraid of something. It's funny. I hear people talk about love the same way, as though everyone knows what it means. |
| 89328 Something's been weighing on my mind since what happened at the Hidden Refuge. |
| 89329 What's past is past, Neera. |
| 89330 You feel guilty for what happened. |
| 89331 Do you want to talk about it? |
| 89332 What, are you a mind flayer now? You just waltz into my brain and tell me what's what? Who do you think you are to justâ€â€say that?! But... Fine. You're right. Fortunately for you. |
| 89333 "What's past is�" You should write a book. "<CHARNAME>'s Memorable Sayings." It would sell zero copies because there'd be NOTHING inside. I Listen, I'm sorry. It's just this is REALLY hard to talk about. And I need to talk about it, even if it's over. |
| 89334 Well, yes, genius. I Sorry. This is just REALLY hard to talk about. |
| 89335 It all happened so fast. I wasn't even there. All that work, everything that I put into making the refuge happenâ€â€gone in a flash. You know, it was the first time I really felt |
| 89336 Useful? |
| 89337 In control? |
| 89338 Like yourself? |
| 89339 Is that a joke? I know that you call me charming and everything, but if I weren't useful, I doubt I'd be traveling with the Bhaalspawn. No |
| 89340 Exactly! |
| 89341 I generally feel like myself. Who else am I gonna feel like? Actually, it might have been just the opposite. Because I had it, for once. |
| 89342 I had control. I was finally directing my powers toward a definite purpose, and they weren't betraying me for a change. I wanted the Hidden Refuge to be a place for wild mages, but I also wanted it to be exactly what wild magic isn'tâ€â€safe, stable. And then along came the Red Wizards. |
| 89343 That wasn't your fault. |
| 89344 Your plan backfired. |
| 89345 I think it's good you want to take responsibility for what occurred. |
| 89346 No, it was the Wizards' fault, or Hayes, or a world Hells-bent on transforming whatever I try to do into a pile of steaming dung. |
| 89347 What plan did I even really have? Gather up all the wild magesâ€â€then what? It doesn't matter. The world doesn't care for plans. It especially hates mine. It's Hells-bent on turning whatever I attempt into a pile of steaming dung. |
| 89348 I DON'T want to take responsibility. Why does it have to be my fault? This gods-forsaken world is Hells-bent on turning whatever I do into a pile of steaming dung. |
| 89349 It's fun when my magic does weird things. Heya, presto! You're a girl! You're a squirrel! You've got pink hair! But sometimes it seems like it's someone else's fun, not mine. I don't want any of that to happen. I just want things to goâ€â€the way I want them to go. |
| 89350 But do you always know what you want? |
| 89351 I understand your frustration. |
| 89352 You should relax. Let the world decide for you. |
| 89353 Oh, sure. Then I wake up, the party's over, and everyone's dead. No, I definitely want something. I'm just not always sure what. |
| 89354 No, you don't. You have a destiny. My only destiny is to make everything a little messier than it should be. I wish I knew what I even wanted from the future. |
| 89355 ...No. I don't. I hardly EVER know. How can anyone know what they want all the time? |
| 89356 But I know what I want right now. I want you. I... guess that's important. |
| 89357 But I do think I know what I want right now. I want this, this thing between usâ€â€to stop. |
| 89358 You would end it, just like that? |
| 89359 No! What are you saying? |
| 89360 You're overreacting, Neera. Please, think about this first. |
| 89361 Would it be better if I ended it by just up and leaving one morning? |
| 89362 I'm saying it's over. I've decided. |
| 89363 I have thought about itâ€â€I've thought about it a lot. I didn't mean to bring it up like this, but there it is. |
| 89364 Please, <CHARNAME>. It's for the best. Really. I'd just hurt you in the long run. I can't bear to do that, not again. Not like I hurt Avrum, or the wild mages, or how many other people I've hurt in this life. |
| 89365 But |
| 89366 Neera! |
| 89367 I insist |
| 89368 I can't, <CHARNAME>. I can't. I'm sorry. Let's go. |
| 89369 I take it Jaheira's having a hard time with Khalid's death? |
| 89370 Yes. I've been trying to help her through it. |
| 89371 Uh... yes. Yes, she is. |
| 89372 Oh, I'd say she's learning to cope with it. |
| 89373 Indeed. She seems to depend on you quite a bit these days. |
| 89374 Why do you mention it? |
| 89375 Jaheira's strong. It isn't fair to say she depends on anyone. |
| 89376 Wouldn't you? |
| 89377 Okay, let me be blunt. Jaheira really likes you. I do too. If you're not sure how you feel about her, or about me, that's fineâ€â€really! But I'm not going to wait around for you to decide. I just want to know, you know? If you like her, no hard feelings. I'll still follow you around and make cows fall from the sky. |
| 89378 Jaheira is important to me, but she is just a friend. I like you. |
| 89379 I see. Well, the truth is, I think I'm falling in love with Jaheira. |
| 89380 Really? That'sâ€â€that's really interesting. Kiss? |
| 89381 Gladly. |
| 89382 You should probably make this clear to Jaheira, too. |
| 89383 You're right. She and I will discuss it in private. Let's get moving. |
| 89384 You just say all the right things, don't you? I don't blame her for wanting to spend time with you. |
| 89385 Given the caring sensitivity of that last statement... No. |
| 89386 I see. Thanks for being honest. I wish I could say I don't get what you see in her, but I do. Jaheira's great. In the meantime, I guess I'm a free lady! It's kind of a relief, really. Should we get moving? |
| 89387 Yes. On we go. |
| 89388 So you and Viconia are getting a little cozy. |
| 89389 What do you mean? |
| 89390 Cozy? The word doesn't even belong in the same sentence as "Viconia." |
| 89391 I'm aiming for more than a little cozy. |
| 89392 Well, you've already passed more than a little sleazy. I was going to sayâ€â€oh, never mind. You're not worth it. Be as cozy and sleazy as you want. |
| 89393 I'm just saying you seem to be getting close. You're free to do what you want, obviously. But you should know I won't wait around while you two play cat-and-mouse with each other's hearts orâ€â€parts. If you like her, that's fine. I won't be hurt. I just need to know. |
| 89394 Choose Viconia over you? Never. |
| 89395 Very well. I'm interested in Viconia. I guess you and I aren't meant to beâ€â€at least not for the moment. |
| 89396 Well, that's good to know. Really good to know! Now you need to make sure she knows it, too. |
| 89397 Don't worry, Neera. She and I will discuss it in private. |
| 89398 Fine, as long as things don't get TOO private. Let's go! |
| 89399 Thanks for being straight with me. But... be careful. Viconia doesn't mind breaking hearts. I'm not saying I wouldn't have broken yours, but I wouldn't do it for fun. But hey, I guess this means I'm a free lady. That's kind of a relief. Let's move! |
| 89400 Someone in our group has a little crush on you, <CHARNAME>! |
| 89401 Is it you? |
| 89402 Get out. Who? |
| 89403 More than one person. I know at least three. |
| 89404 Um... well, that's not who I was talking about. |
| 89405 Aerie is quite taken with you. |
| 89406 She's had a hard time adjustingâ€â€first to being wingless, then to leaving the circus. I'm here for her. |
| 89407 You think so? |
| 89408 That makes two of you. What of it? |
| 89409 Keep that up and you'll soon have one less. |
| 89410 I think she wants you for more than talking. |
| 89411 I'm pretty sure she's smitten. |
| 89412 You know what? Forget it. I hope Aerie knows what she's getting into. I'm ready to move on, literally AND figuratively. |
| 89413 Look, the last thing I want is to get between you two if you feel something for her. But if you feel something for me, the sooner she knows, the better. Aerie's... delicate. |
| 89414 I'll talk to her privately, let her know how I feel for you. |
| 89415 I do have feelings for Aerie. |
| 89416 Be gentle, <CHARNAME>. You will, won't you? Seal the deal with a kiss... There! Get going. |
| 89417 You know what? I'm glad. It was hard to think about her heart getting broken. My heartâ€â€well, I'll survive. In the meantime, I guess I'm a free woman. Kind of a relief. Should we get moving? |
| 89418 Our spooky friend's making eyes at you. I can't tell if she's in love or just hungry. |
| 89419 Hexxat? |
| 89420 I'm not sure either. |
| 89421 Probably both. It could prove problematic. |
| 89422 No, the other spooky vampire vixen in our party. |
| 89423 Look, if you're going toâ€â€carry on with her, you ought to tell me. And if you're not, you should tell her. I mean, she presumably has a heart, even if it's not a beating one. |
| 89424 Don't worry, Neera. The only emotion Hexxat inspires in me is subtle dread. Which I'm sure is how she likes it. |
| 89425 I must admit, I am quite attracted to Hexxat. |
| 89426 I'm pretty sure she has feelings for you beyond hunger. She might be hungry, too. But there's definitely more than that there. |
| 89427 No kidding. |
| 89428 Okay. Phew! Just do me a favor and don't tell her I talked to you about this. It's not that she scares me, but... all right, it is. I mean, fangs, right? |
| 89429 Really? I don't get it. The whole sultry vampire thingâ€â€it's a little old hat by now, surely? But hey, I guess I'm free to do what I will now. I'm kind of relieved. Let's move. |
| 89430 Dorn really seems to admire you, in his own twisted and thoroughly disturbed way. |
| 89431 Yes. I noticed that too. |
| 89432 And I notice that you do not mind your own business. |
| 89433 Admire me? Of course he does. |
| 89434 Do you feel the same way about him? |
| 89435 Well, let's say that, at this point, I kind of consider it my business. |
| 89436 And I'm reminded once again how much you two have in common. |
| 89437 If you want him, I say go for it. But if you've feelings for me, you need to tell him. I do NOT want to fight him for your attention. |
| 89438 I'll tell him how I feel about you. Wish me luck. This will be a... difficult conversation. |
| 89439 Then you should know that I want him. |
| 89440 Tymora be with you, then. If things get ugly, I'm right here. And... thank you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 89441 You're welcome. I hope you see me again in one piece. |
| 89442 Well, I'd say he's a good guy, but I'd obviously be lying. Watch yourself and your heart, <CHARNAME>. I'm not saying I wouldn't have broken it myself, but I wouldn't have done it on purpose, and I certainly wouldn't tear it from your chest and eat it afterward. But hey! I'm a free woman now! That's kind of nice. Let's move. |
| 89443 Whoa, long time no see! Waitâ€â€I guess you just have one of those faces, man. Who are you? Me? I'm... well, I'm standing here. Relaxing in the breeze, you know? |
| 89444 I'm <CHARNAME>. I'm trying to get to know everyone; what's your name? |
| 89445 Who are you calling "man"? I'm a woman. My name is <CHARNAME>. |
| 89446 So I see. Who are you? |
| 89447 I don't have time for more nonsense. |
| 89448 Zaviak. Good to meet you. What was your name again? Aw, doesn't really matter, I guess. You see all these trees around us? |
| 89449 Yes. Of course I see the trees. |
| 89450 I'd rather not talk about the trees. |
| 89451 No! What are you talking about?! |
| 89452 But do ya SEE them? I could stand here and watch them for hours. This forest is, like, IMMENSE. |
| 89453 It's not that big. |
| 89454 Yeah, man, I see it. The immensity. |
| 89455 Interesting, but I had some questions for you. |
| 89456 I see. Sorry, but I should be going. |
| 89457 Whoa, whoa! Relax! Your aura just got all weird and jagged-looking. We all have questions, my friend... You want to know what I say? I say, let's sit back and let the universe answer them. |
| 89458 You want to know what I'm thinkin' about? Wilson. |
| 89459 Wilson? |
| 89460 Wilson? Wilson the bear? |
| 89461 I have no time for this. Farewell. |
| 89462 That's right. Best bear in the world. That guy had heart, you know? Anyway, I haven't seen him around for a bit. Tell him I said "hey" if you see him... I'm gonna get back to doing the brews. |
| 89463 Zaviak's great, but I think he got knocked on the head a few too many times in the Black Pits. He's our resident alchemist. We only use his potions as a last resort. His magic tends to make them go a little funny. |
| 89464 Ha ha ha! That was great, man! You are a SLY one! Listen though, my friend. I'm serious about the forest. I know you see the trees... |
| 89465 Totally, totally! I can see it, I can see it. Don't let it get to you, though; "man" is just a label, you know? It's, like, not what you ARE. It's just what I'm calling you... |
| 89466 Fine. I have questions I would ask you. |
| 89467 That explanation wouldn't satisfy anyone, but I'll overlook it for now. Tell me your name. |
| 89468 Forget it. I'm through talking to you. |
| 89469 Aw, don't say that. Think of the little bugs and the big old trees and all the stuff in between! |
| 89470 It's everything. It's like the whole universe rolled into a ball of wild green forest life. You know, I really wish Wilson were here. He'd love to see this. |
| 89471 Whoa, so abrupt! Slow down! Didn't mean to scare you off. I know you're in a rush, but I just want to mention that you should bring Wilson by if you ever see him. |
| 89472 Hey, man! You're back... I hope you bring Wilson around one of these days. |
| 89473 Do you have time for some questions? |
| 89474 We'll see. Farewell, Zaviak. |
| 89475 Sorry, man. I'm in the middle of something beautiful that I can't really explain... |
| 89476 AWW! Hey, man! It's you. Long time, no see. REAL long time. How are the salmon swimmin'? Been shakin' any beehives? |
| 89477 Grrrrargh! |
| 89478 Oh yeah, honey's the best! Ha ha ha! Well, you asked, so I'm gonna tell ya: The camp is great; it's hard being a wild mage on the run, you know, but this place kinda feels like home. |
| 89479 Groooargh! Grrr! |
| 89480 Oh yeah, they're amazing. So glad you found them... Hey, man. Wilson says you've been doing right by him. I just want to say thanks for droppin' by and bringin' him along. |
| 89481 I'm happy to have reunited such great friends. |
| 89482 I don't suppose you could give me something for my efforts? |
| 89483 I'm glad it's over. |
| 89484 Here, take these as thanks. What comes around, goes around, you know? They're from a recent batch. They'll make you real strong and give you some really deep insights, too. Aw, man, don't lookâ€â€I'm about to cry. Take care! |
| 89485 Oh hey! It's my favorite hero and my favorite bear, side by side! |
| 89486 Grrrowl! |
| 89487 Ha ha, that's right, Wil. Such a great insight. Hey, man, I know you have your pick of strong and mighty warriors, but I don't know if you could ever find anyone to give you better advice than Wilson. Plus, he's a big ol' shaggy bear! |
| 89488 Ha. My advice has the virtue of being in the common tongue, at least. And I can take the shape of a bear when I please. |
| 89489 You'll rue the day you try to exchange me for a bear, <CHARNAME>. |
| 89490 An intelligible tongue and sense of honor more than make up for a small stature and a lack of... shagginess. |
| 89491 Hark, wayward wanderer! I set out a fortnight ago. Turn around, turn around: The path ahead is treacherous and leads nowhere. |
| 89492 Tell me, friend, what I can do to aid you? I see your cart has broken down. |
| 89493 The path I'm on is always treacherous. Whatever dangers lie ahead, I'm sure I can deal with them. |
| 89494 Nonsenseâ€â€the path must lead somewhere. What do you know of the hidden camp nearby? |
| 89495 You can do nothing for me. It's been a fortnight since I set out. Turn around, turn around. |
| 89496 If you've been traveling so long, you must be weary and hungry. Let me help. |
| 89497 Where were you going to, and what are you doing here? |
| 89498 Tell me what you know of the hidden camp. |
| 89499 Nay, wanderer; I set out a fortnight ago, and look what has become of my cart. Turn around. |
| 89500 Poor fellow! Perhaps I can help you, then? |
| 89501 I can defend myself better than your cart. |
| 89502 Have you seen any sign of the hidden camp nearby? |
| 89503 I know nothing of a hidden camp. It's been a fortnight since I set out. Turn around. |
| 89504 Is there anything I can do to help? You seem to be in quite the predicament. |
| 89505 I don't think so. I must go on. |
| 89506 Do not try my patience. You know more of this camp than you say. What are you hiding? |
| 89507 No, no; you can do nothing for me. I've been on the road a fortnight, you see. Turn around, turn around. |
| 89508 There's no need to be so stubborn and proud, friend! There must be plenty I can do, no matter how long you've been out here. |
| 89509 Well, then, do you know anything about the hidden camp nearby? |
| 89510 Goodbye, then. If you don't want my help, I must be on my way. |
| 89511 I've been on the road for a fortnight, and I set out a fortnight ago. Turn around. |
| 89512 I don't really understand. |
| 89513 Let's change the subject. Perhaps you can answer some other questions? |
| 89514 Must all gnomes persist in this sort of nonsense? |
| 89515 There is something... off about this. Goodbye, stranger. |
| 89516 But, wayward wanderer, it has been a fortnight since I set out. Go no further. |
| 89517 It seems your troubles have addled you somewhat. How may I be of assistance? |
| 89518 I grow tired of this! Where is the camp? |
| 89519 It is time for me to go, I think. Farewell. |
| 89520 A fortnight. |
| 89521 You're making no sense. What do you mean? |
| 89522 I'll put up with this no longer. Speak clearly or stand aside! |
| 89523 All right then. May you enjoy many more fortnights in this desolate place. Farewell. |
| 89524 Well, no, I wouldn't say so. A cousin of mine was very interested in fortnights, but he started preferring lunar months. "Two fortnights are better than one," he said. |
| 89525 A FORTNIGHT! A FORTNIGHT! |
| 89526 Yeah, smart move, <CHARNAME>. He might as well be wearing a sign that says "I'm a magical trap; heed me not." |
| 89527 Refusing to engage with him further was wise. I sense that he is a part of the magic that infects this forest. |
| 89528 Normally, it would upset me to leave someone stranded like that, but he reminds me of the illusions Kalah used. I don't think he's real. |
| 89529 But he seemed so sensible and eloquent! My Aunt Peony's third husband was the same way. Of course, it turned out he wasn't a gnome at all, but one of those cats that stands on its hind legs, wears a vest, and plays cards... Hmm. Perhaps you made the right decision. |
| 89530 Huh. That's a new one. |
| 89531 Aieeeeee! |
| 89532 Yip yip yip! |
| 89533 Awwwoooooo! |
| 89534 Come 'ere, y'puny dog men! |
| 89535 Ha! One of our tricks worked. That ettin is just a scary illusion, but those gnolls don't know any better. They'll hightail it out of here and never come back! |
| 89536 It was a trick. These ones must be the ones who done it! |
| 89537 So hungry! Get them; we'll cut 'em up for stew! |
| 89538 Grrrr! |
| 89539 See that chest? Don't touch it. |
| 89540 I'm warning you! It's a trap. Not the most subtle trap, but a trap all the same. |
| 89541 Please don't open it, <CHARNAME>! I can feel the violence of the energy inside. It's as if all the wild magic in the forest is in there, ready to burst. And that's not all: There's something alive in there... something powerful. |
| 89542 Wait, that was it? Was that spider even poisonous? Come on! |
| 89543 Hold on, <CHARNAME>! Magical trap ahead. Surprised? No, I guess you wouldn't be by now. Anyway, this one's a little different. |
| 89544 It's a polymorph trap. Say you're a rampaging ogre, and you're walking down the path like we are. Now because you're a rampaging ogre, you don't have a clever wild mage to keep you from doing foolish things. So you step into the trap andâ€â€zap! You're a squirrel. |
| 89545 Waitâ€â€what? Oh no! What are those squirrels doing on the OTHER side of the trap? Watch out! |
| 89546 Death awaitsss, <PRO_RACE>! Death awaitsss, and I show the way. |
| 89547 AAAHHH! |
| 89548 What's wrong, Neera? You startled me. |
| 89549 What?! What is it? |
| 89550 What in the Nine Hells are you screaming about? |
| 89551 That snake just spoke like a man! Kill it! Kill it with knives! |
| 89552 Let's stay calm. You've probably seen dozens of animals speak. What if it's a polymorphed person? |
| 89553 Calm down, Neera. We shouldn't do anything rash. |
| 89554 Quiet. I want to hear what it has to say; it could be from the camp. |
| 89555 With gusto. |
| 89556 I... but... Snake! Snaaake! |
| 89557 Right. But that's not an argument, just an observation. |
| 89558 I can't go around putting talking snakes to the sword just because you don't like them. |
| 89559 Well, I'm convinced. Die, serpent! |
| 89560 That's ridiculous! That's no polymorphed person. He's not screaming in terror about being unable to change himself back, for one thing. |
| 89561 I think I'll speak with it all the same. |
| 89562 I'll make it scream for another reason, then. Die, serpent! |
| 89563 We have one rule at the refugeâ€â€no snakes! Actually, we have a lot of rules, but the "no snakes" one is pretty big. If this snake belongs to one of my people, I wasn't told about it. |
| 89564 This snake could be a polymorphed person, maybe even one of your own wild mages. |
| 89565 All the more reason to investigate. |
| 89566 Then you're right, it's probably dangerous. Let's kill it! |
| 89567 Suit yourself, but don't expect me to join you. I refuse to die just because you happen to be insanely curious about this talking snake. |
| 89568 Why are you here, snake? |
| 89569 Ho there, slither-britches! Are you human? Have you been transformed? |
| 89570 You told me to stay out because death lay ahead, serpent. What did you mean? |
| 89571 Death awaitsss, and I show the way. I am no man, but the sssnake at the door of death. |
| 89572 So you have not been transformed. There's danger ahead, you say? |
| 89573 What do you mean, "show the way"? |
| 89574 I've heard enough. Die, serpent! |
| 89575 I see. Farewell. |
| 89576 Death awaitsss, and I show the way. |
| 89577 You mentioned that. Could you be more specific? What kind of death? |
| 89578 How do you manage that, exactly? |
| 89579 Death and death alone. Passs me and you will sssee. |
| 89580 Is that a threat? |
| 89581 Anything else to add? |
| 89582 Enough with the death chatter. |
| 89583 Maybe that's what I'll do, then. Farewell. |
| 89584 Death has coilsss, and sssooo do I. |
| 89585 Do you have anything more to say? |
| 89586 Let us test those coils, snake! Prepare to die! |
| 89587 The death! The death awaitsss! |
| 89588 I'll take my chances. Farewell. |
| 89589 I'll take what little you've told me into consideration. Thanks and farewell. |
| 89590 You play this part well. I hope you're getting compensated with voles or small mice. Goodbye. |
| 89591 You're right: Death IS waiting. Prepare to meet it, snake! |
| 89592 But there isss ssso much death to ssspeak of. Passs me and you will ssseee. |
| 89593 SSSTAY OUT! |
| 89594 What is this?! A talking snake? Why are you here? |
| 89595 You speak! Are you human? Have you been transformed? |
| 89596 Death awaits? What do you mean? |
| 89597 Death may wait, but I will not. Prepare to die! |
| 89598 In the Wild Forest, I encountered a snake capable of speech. Despite its warnings, I decided to forge ahead. It attacked, forcing me to slay it. |
| 89599 I encountered a snake capable of speech in the Wild Forest. It warned me away from the path I was on, so I turned back. |
| 89600 I encountered a snake capable of speech while in the Wild Forest. Despite its warnings, I decided to go on ahead. It attacked me, and I was forced to slay it. |
| 89601 There are more defenses in the Wild Forest than Neera anticipated. Her followers have devised traps and guardians for their sanctuary without her knowledge. We must be cautious moving through the woods to this so-called refuge. |
| 89602 Bring me Neera, the half-elven wild mage. |
| 89603 So, the elf queen's suggestion to go talk to her ancestors' stone heads landed you here, eh? I knew she had it in for you. But hey, thanks for dragging me into the Abyss with you. And we aren't even married. |
| 89604 Whoa! That wasn't a wild surge... Oh, it's you! It's been a while... Last I heard, you were still with the elves. Hm! Thought you'd escape the whole Bhaalspawn thing by planes-hopping, huh? No? Uh-oh. |
| 89605 If I'm here, I suppose this means the time for rest and relaxation is over? |
| 89606 Indeed. I am glad to see you again, Neera. Our greatest quest awaits. |
| 89607 Perhaps. Who knows what the grim future holds? But yeah, I'm afraid rest and relaxation aren't looking likely. |
| 89608 You are right. These are bloody days, and I swear by my divine essence they will grow even bloodier as the end nears. |
| 89609 Practicing your acceptance speech already, Bhaal Junior? |
| 89610 Okay, okay. I see you're very serious about this whole child-of-a-god thing. I'll put on my serious face. It's pretty convincing. |
| 89611 Thank you. I'm glad you're by my side again, Neera. |
| 89612 Wait here, Neera. I'll come back for you soon. |
| 89613 It better be. Come along now. |
| 89614 YOUR greatest quest, maybe. I still want to bring about world peace and become Neeralax, rainbow-haired goddess of wild magic. |
| 89615 Ooh, ooh, I do! Fights, monsters, treasure, and walking. Seems reasonable, right? |
| 89616 Are you sure you want me to go? I feel a helpful wild surge just around the cornerâ€â€well, that or an unhelpful one. |
| 89617 Return to the pocket plane for now. |
| 89618 If that's the case, you can stay. |
| 89619 Oh good, you're back! Do you want me to join you after all? Hint: The answer is "yes!" |
| 89620 Thanks for the hint. Yes! |
| 89621 Sorry, Neera. Wait here for now. |
| 89622 Hold, <CHARNAME>! Something appears! |
| 89623 DORN IL-KHAN! Your name has been inscribed in the Scroll of Retribution. Now you will pay for your crimes! |
| 89624 Hah! Congratulations, Dorn. You have what you always wanted. Your name truly is written in the heavens. A pity it means your doom. |
| 89625 The gods have taken notice of you, Dorn. They would see you annihilated. |
| 89626 That's precisely what it is. |
| 89627 Dorn Il-Khanâ€â€die! |
| 89628 I have not passed judgmentâ€â€I simply carry it out. |
| 89629 With me, <CHARNAME>! Help me drive this prancing cockatiel back to Lunia! |
| 89630 Those who side with that half-orc will share his damnation! I shall add your name to the Scroll of Retribution myself, <CHARNAME>! |
| 89631 We have triumphed... for the moment. Planetars are implacable foes. As long as my name is in this Scroll of Retribution, she and her kind will keep on coming, in greater and greater numbers. |
| 89632 They will, until our names are removed from the scroll. |
| 89633 Most likely in Lunia. |
| 89634 Dorn is correct. The scroll can be found in Lunia's Pavilion of Righteous Justice. You have a feather from a planetar's wing. You can open a portal there any time you wish. |
| 89635 You are being uncharacteristically helpful, Azothet. |
| 89636 You are being uncharacteristically helpful, Ur-Gothoz. |
| 89637 You would not last a minute in the heavenly spheres, half-orc. And your destruction would please me greatly. You have a feather from a planetar's wing. You can open a portal there any time you wish. |
| 89638 What I'm suggesting is that we go to war, <CHARNAME>. We go to war with Heaven. |
| 89639 With this feather from the planetar's wing, I can open a portal to Lunia any time I wish. |
| 89640 We have a feather from the planetar's wing. That should enable us to open a portal to Lunia. |
| 89641 Then, <CHARNAME>? Then we go to war. We go to war with Heaven. |
| 89642 Not if we want to clear our names from the Scroll of Retribution. Not if we want to live. |
| 89643 What right have you to judge Dorn, or anyone? |
| 89644 The Scroll of Retribution? What is that, like a hit list of the gods? |
| 89645 Someday, perhaps. But not today. |
| 89646 Things will only get worse from here. |
| 89647 And now my name's going in the Scroll. Great. |
| 89648 There must be a way to erase our names from the Scroll. |
| 89649 Is that even possible? |
| 89650 Where is the Scroll kept? |
| 89651 What are you suggesting, here, Dorn? |
| 89652 And what do we do then? |
| 89653 Isn't Lunia the exact place we should be avoiding at all costs? |
| 89654 You suggest we attack the home of the gods? |
| 89655 And what do we do then? |
| 89656 Isn't Lunia the exact place we should be avoiding at all costs? |
| 89657 You suggest we attack the gods in their place of power? |
| 89658 After driving off a planetar attack on Dorn, my name has been inscribed in the Scroll of Retribution. Until it is removed, I can look forward to nothing but a series of such attacks. There appears to be only one way to get my name off the listâ€â€by invading Lunia, celestial sphere of the gods. |
| 89660 Dorn's bloody path To save ourselves from being crushed by a never-ending wave of divine assaults, Dorn and I must penetrate Lunia itself and erase our names from the Scroll of Retribution. |
| 89661 Praise be to Tyr. |
| 89662 Good evening. |
| 89663 Well met, stranger. May your god smile upon your endeavors. |
| 89664 Ho there. It is good to see another holy <PRO_MANWOMAN> join us. |
| 89665 Blessed be, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 89666 This is no place for my kind, <CHARNAME>. Let's get this done quickly before my flesh burns off my bones. |
| 89667 If you'd see your name removed from the Scroll of Retribution, you must find the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath. Try not to be killed too quickly while you do soâ€â€I want to savor this. |
| 89668 I shall. Make sure not to fall behind. |
| 89669 You knew we'd find little welcome here, <CHARNAME>. Better this than the alternative. |
| 89670 Agreed. |
| 89671 Lead the way, Dorn. |
| 89672 Why not? I'm sure a place embodying the divine concept of righteousness will welcome us with open arms. |
| 89673 Let's be quick about it. |
| 89674 We have arrived in Lunia. I can't wait to leave. |
| 89675 We have arrived in Lunia. Ur-Gothoz tells us we must make our way to the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath. |
| 89676 We have arrived in Lunia. Azothet tells us we must make our way to the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath. |
| 89677 Dorn's bloody path Now that we've reached Lunia, we must find the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath. It holds the Scroll of Retribution, which has my and Dorn's name inscribed upon it... for now. We must erase our names and escape this place, preferably attracting as little attention as possible from its dwellers, who will not welcome the likes of us. |
| 89678 Are you truly going to return through the gateway before our work is finished? We only get one shot at this, <CHARNAME>. |
| 89679 We must erase my name from the Scroll of Retribution, else avenging planetars will continue to plague us. I imagine that Tyr does not look kindly upon those that defile his realm. We must hurry before he or something else takes notice. |
| 89680 I... see. I always worked better alone anyway. Hrmm. I won't pretend to be upset about our parting, <CHARNAME>. I doubt we will see each other again. |
| 89681 Very well then. Let's get going... the innocence of this place produces a stench that hangs in my nostrils. |
| 89682 Hehehe, I bet those solars are HOT. Get it? Solar? Heat? Eh? Eh? |
| 89683 Now is not the time. |
| 89684 The scroll. Right. I forgot. |
| 89685 Remind me again why we're here? |
| 89686 I'm sorry, Dorn, but I'm leaving this place behind. |
| 89687 Got it. Let's move. |
| 89688 All right. Hey, while we're here, can we go check out Mount Celestia? I hear they have some solars you wouldn't believe poking around up there. |
| 89689 This is your burden to bear, Dorn. I'm leaving. |
| 89690 Waitâ€â€I've changed my mind. |
| 89691 Farewell, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 89692 I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. And wish I didn't need to. |
| 89693 Let's go, then. |
| 89694 I do not know what madness possessed me that I even considered coming to Lunia, but it has passed and I am leaving Heaven to its own devices. |
| 89695 You are the few who answered my call. You handful of righteous men and women will enforce the laws of Tyr, carrying out his judgments where other mortal agents fail. |
| 89696 We aren't here to listen to some god's toady wax on about the joys of divine servitude, <CHARNAME>... |
| 89697 I'm with you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 89698 For each of you, I have a sigil granting permission to enter the White Pavilion. |
| 89699 On the other hand, one of those sigils would come in handy... |
| 89700 Come now, and receive Tyr's gift. |
| 89701 What is your name, Champion of Tyr? |
| 89702 I know that name... But from where...? |
| 89703 I know this name. Butâ€â€you are a paladin of Torm. |
| 89704 You dare threaten a planetar of the Night's Eye Battalion? In Lunia, of all places? You are mad, <PRO_RACE>â€â€your destruction will be a mercy. |
| 89705 Deceiver! Taste the Maimed God's justice! |
| 89706 Your uncle is well known and respected, Firecam. You will make a fine champion for the Just God. |
| 89707 Your lies are skilled and graceful, whoever you are. But I'm not deceived. Champions of Tyr! Strike this deceiver down! |
| 89708 Take this sigil, Rodesi Ponz. Go forth with Tyr's blessing, and do his work. |
| 89709 No... Something in your words rings false. |
| 89710 It was recently I heard itâ€â€no, saw it. "<CHARNAME>." Ah. I know it now. |
| 89711 Their name is written in the Scroll of Retribution! Champions of Tyr, strike them down, now! |
| 89712 Hm, yes. I guess... Take this sigil, <CHARNAME>. Go forth with Tyr's blessing and do his work. |
| 89713 Wait a moment. I would hear this planetar speak. |
| 89714 The last thing we want to be around is people looking to enforce Tyr's will. Let's move on. |
| 89715 I answer another call, planetarâ€â€a call for your destruction! |
| 89716 I am <CHARNAME>. |
| 89717 Keldorn Firecam. |
| 89718 My name is Rodesi Ponz. |
| 89719 I am your doom, planetar. |
| 89720 I could not say. |
| 89721 You say my deeds in Tyr's service are known even in this elevated place? You honor me, planetar. |
| 89722 From the Scroll of Retribution, most likelyâ€â€I'll earn my place within it with your annihilation! |
| 89723 That is my father's brother. I was named after him. As much as I respect him, my loyalty is to Tyr. |
| 89724 Damn. I was hoping you wouldn't catch that. |
| 89725 No longer. Now, I am your death incarnate. |
| 89726 Some quick talking on my part has resulted in my being blessed as a crusader of Tyr and supplied with the god's sigil. Hopefully, this badge of honor will ease my journey through the celestial sphere. |
| 89727 My attempt to acquire a sigil of Tyr to ease my way through Lunia went horrifically awry. If what happened at the Crusaders' Pavilion is indicative of what's to come, my time in this heavenly domain will be bloody indeed. |
| 89728 My attempt to acquire a sigil of Tyr to ease my way through Lunia went horrifically awry. Dorn perished in the ensuing battle. I think he was actually happy to die bloodying the righteous in the realm of the gods themselves. |
| 89729 This holy sigil of the god Tyr signifies that the holder is an agent of his justice and has permission to carry out judgment against those deemed wicked in his eyes. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 89730 Sigil of Tyr |
| 89731 Oh, look! It's Jerome. |
| 89732 Thanks, Jerome! Let's see what Telana has to say. |
| 89733 Jerome? Who's that? A victim of a wild polymorph? |
| 89734 Did you just receive a message from that bird? |
| 89735 That bird has a name! It's Jerome, as you should know by now. |
| 89736 No, silly. It's Jerome. The messenger bird that carries letters between Telana and me. |
| 89737 Why are you looking all confused? I'm really into birds. Beaks, feathers, beady eyes? I love that stuff. |
| 89738 Really! I'm surprised you don't get me confused with Haer'Dalis. |
| 89739 Ho there, <PRO_RACE>. Why do you still tarry here? |
| 89740 You are wise to do so. Be patient. I am sure he will speak to you soon. |
| 89741 And hey! Don't you remember that mechanical bird I gave you? |
| 89742 Indeed I do. It is a straight line from the gates to the earthly realm, through here, past the Statue of the Sentinel, to the Pavilion. On foot, you'll need to take one of the stairways available yonder. When you see the Sentinel, you'll not have far to goâ€â€its back is to the Pavilion. |
| 89743 It's true that Jerome doesn't come around that much. But surely you've seen Anton. The falcon? No! I know you're a self-absorbed Bhaalspawn, but how can you take such little interest in other people's lives? |
| 89744 Other people make it easy. Well, what news did Jerome bring you? |
| 89745 I'm interested now. When did you start employing avian messengers? |
| 89746 As an intelligent woman gaining experience in the world, I thought I'd develop my... proficiencies with certain things. For personal enrichment, you know? I'm no good with weapons, so I thought I'd work on my, well, non-weapon-oriented talent. Which meant bird training, pottery, or dancing. |
| 89747 Lunia is a wonder. But do not be distracted by its gloriesâ€â€there is work to be done in the earthly realms. |
| 89748 I see. What made you decide to go with birds? |
| 89749 Understood. So, what news did Jerome bring? |
| 89750 No business of mine? As a crusader of Tyr, you are mine to command. |
| 89751 Pottery and wild magic seemed like a bad combination. Also, pots are pretty boring in general. |
| 89752 Next time, think before you speak. |
| 89753 Understood. So, what news did Jerome bring? |
| 89754 Such behavior is beneath one of your esteemed rank. You are not fit to carry the sigilâ€â€hand it over. |
| 89755 But what about dancing? |
| 89756 In time, if you are penitent and humble, you may be redeemed. For the moment, however, I strip you of your rank. Give me your sigil. |
| 89757 Oh, I'm already an amazing dancer! |
| 89758 Go now. Take some time over there at the Constellations to reflect on your sins of pride and arrogance. |
| 89759 I'm sure. What news did Jerome bring? |
| 89760 Let me see... It'sâ€â€it's a warning. "Vicross, the Order of Eight Staves leader, is in Tethyr, not far from the Wealdath," she says. "The Order's gotten very good at tracking mages. Just a wild surge within a certain proximity to them will attract their attention." |
| 89761 What? |
| 89762 "How are things going otherwise? The Bhaalspawn is very handsome, and after what you told me in your last letter, I think you have a..." Oh, Hells. Did I just read that out loud? |
| 89763 You did. Why don't you keep going? |
| 89764 Well, don't just stand around sulkingâ€â€find the sigil. Its value is incalculable! |
| 89765 Don't blush. Now I understand why you've kept the birds a secret. |
| 89766 You lost your sigil and ask ME for a replacement? |
| 89767 They were NOT a secret! I'm sure she's talking about one of the other Bhaalspawn. Yaga-Shura, maybe. Anyway |
| 89768 Absolutely not. I'm sure she's talking about one of the other Bhaalspawn. Yaga-Shura, maybe. Anyway |
| 89769 Very well. Here, but I want this back as soon as possible. Now stop wasting time. Go, go! |
| 89770 Hmm. If I could take out the Order's leader, it would crumble. |
| 89771 Perhaps, perhaps not. What are you suggesting? |
| 89772 Stop wasting time and GO FIND THE SIGIL! |
| 89773 I don't like the sound of this. |
| 89774 There's a clearing west of the Wealdath and north of Saradush, pretty close to where the Red Wizards might be. |
| 89775 You deny me? |
| 89776 Did Jerome tell you that, too? |
| 89777 Go on. |
| 89778 No, that was Anton's work. |
| 89779 Anyway, if we headed there, and I used my wild magic, we could draw their attention... They're so used to setting up ambushes, it'd be great to ambush them for a change! |
| 89780 A good plan. We'll head there soon. |
| 89781 It would be, but we've other matters to attend to first. |
| 89782 Taste the Abyss, planetar! |
| 89783 I'll consider it. The Thayans probably have magical items that would be of use to me. |
| 89784 Prepare to feel Tyr's wrath, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 89785 Have you found the sigil yet? |
| 89786 Then why are you talking to me? Go! |
| 89787 I await Tyr's guidance. |
| 89788 Tyr has inspired me to go to a place called the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath. Do you know it? |
| 89789 I do not know when, or if, I shall see this place again. I just want to take it all in. |
| 89790 That is no business of yours. |
| 89791 I thank you. |
| 89792 Forgive me. I spoke in haste. |
| 89793 No one commands me. |
| 89794 You! Youâ€â€have one?! I have traveled far and wide, from Luiren to the Ten Towns, in search of mechanical birds. That tinny melody, that artificial chirrup! That could only belong to a very fine specimen. May I see? |
| 89795 I will. Again, my apologies. |
| 89796 He's talking about my gift. You know, from when we took care of the Red Wizard Enclave? Seems like so long ago, doesn't it? Show it to him! |
| 89797 Ah, yes! That is a wondrous example. A finch, is it? Perhaps an ouzel or throstle? |
| 89798 No, please, don't make me do that. |
| 89799 Ouzel! Throstle! I must write these down. |
| 89800 I can't. I lost it. |
| 89801 And what a strange mechanism it has! It is magical, certainlyâ€â€but a very strange magic. This bird is quite extraordinary! I must have it! I am an honest man, and I could not stand to let you part with this treasure for less than what it is worth. Will you sell me the bird for 100,000 gold pieces? |
| 89802 I can't part with it. It was a gift from a friend. |
| 89803 The only thing I'll give you is a quick death. |
| 89804 One hundred THOUSAND� I'd like to sell you the bird. I mean, I really, REALLY would. But... no. I cannot accept your offer. |
| 89805 As you wish. |
| 89806 Sold, sold, and sold! |
| 89807 I cannot fault youâ€â€it is a fantastic specimen. You are a lucky <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Very well, traveler. I go where the wind takes me. |
| 89808 I'd really rather not. |
| 89809 Wow! I'd have made more of those if I knew it'd fetch that kind of price. I'm glad you didn't let go of it, though. It means a lot to me that you still carry it after all this time. |
| 89810 Give me your life, godsucker. |
| 89811 A fortune most would kill for, and you turned it down just like that. Just so you could hold on to my little heap of twittering brass. |
| 89812 I like holding on to itâ€â€and on to you. |
| 89813 I lost it. That's why I was so curt with you. I was upset and afraid of what might happen if you learned of my mistake. |
| 89814 It WAS hard to pass up. But you're harder to pass up. |
| 89815 Ha! You're lucky he showed up when you were around. |
| 89816 Someone stole it. There are unsavory characters around this place. |
| 89817 You're lucky I'm around at all! |
| 89818 So sweet! Put the bird away; you'll get sap in its gears. |
| 89819 Thank you, traveler, thank you! You have made me very happy. Do not worry; she flies to a happy home. Now I must be offâ€â€I go where the wind takes me. |
| 89820 It's gone. I don't know how it happened. |
| 89821 Come here, my goose... |
| 89822 Wow! I'd have made more of those if I knew they'd fetch that kind of price. But I'm a little sad. It was just a heap of brass, butâ€â€oh well! Let's move on. Next round of drinks is on you. |
| 89823 This is the spot. All right, I'll cast reckless dweomer, we'll rest, and then we'll see who comes along. I have reckless dweomer memorized, don't I? If I don't, I guess we'll just have to take a couple naps. |
| 89824 That should do it. Let's set up campâ€â€but remember, the Red Wizards could show up at any moment. |
| 89825 It might save time if I had another sigilâ€â€I mean, the last thing I need is to waste time explaining who I am to people over and over again. |
| 89826 Neera?! THE Neera? We heard you were in Tethyr with a Bhaalspawn. And here you are! It's SUCH a pleasure to put a face to the name. When I sensed your magic, I thought to myself, "That HAS to be her!" |
| 89827 I will do that. Thank you, mistress. |
| 89828 Y-you? You're Vicross? |
| 89829 You were expecting...? |
| 89830 Someone more imperious, I guess. You know, "Seize the elf and kill her friends!" |
| 89831 Just a temporary one until I retrieve the original. |
| 89832 I thought you were a half-elf. |
| 89833 I am! But your servants always get it wrong. |
| 89834 And then you kill them. |
| 89835 Reluctantly, yes. |
| 89836 I hate to interrupt, but I'm sure there's only one way this can go. |
| 89837 Enough! Seize the Red Wizard and kill her friends! |
| 89838 Only because you ask for something I do not want to give. |
| 89839 Obviously. And I know why you're here. |
| 89840 Yes. How does that make you feel? |
| 89841 Not yet, no. |
| 89842 I'm close now. Very close. I can almost taste it. |
| 89843 When I have it, I'll tell you. |
| 89844 You want to put an end to the Order of Eight Staves. That will not happen. I put everything I am into the Order, sacrificedâ€â€well, everything for it. I'm an autharch. Do you know what that means? |
| 89845 Who are you that dares to corrupt Lunia? |
| 89846 That you're a minor leader in the Thayan government? |
| 89847 You jest in the face of divine judgment? Very brave, godling. As long as the gods hold breath, we will see you cast out from this holy place! Destroy them, and cleanse this realm! |
| 89848 No, but I suspect you're going to tell us. |
| 89849 I am <CHARNAME>. I've just been visiting people in your neighborhood offering some literature about the gods. |
| 89850 This is Lunia?! I'm very sorry; I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. I'm looking for Sigil. |
| 89851 That you're going to die? |
| 89852 Me! I'm the person doing that thing you just described. |
| 89853 It means I AM somebody. I created the Order of Eight Staves to keep it that way. |
| 89854 I don't understand. How can killing wild mages help you? Gods, why am I even talking to you?! |
| 89855 Huh? My magic isn't working! How did you� |
| 89856 The brains of wild mages hold a LOT of secrets. |
| 89857 We don't need wild magic to defeat you, Vicross. |
| 89858 You'll pay for that! Attack, friends! |
| 89859 Obviously! |
| 89860 Hold your horses! Sheesh! |
| 89861 Something happened! I can use my magic again... Hey! Vicross is trying to get away. |
| 89862 What the�! |
| 89863 Good! Back in Thay, but... not where I intended! No surprises there, I guess. |
| 89864 Wait! Neera and the Bhaalspawn, in Priador? How did you follow me? |
| 89865 Oh, I don't know. Maybe it was your WILD SURGE that did it. Fraud! Coward! Killer of your own kind! Come on, <CHARNAME>! Let's get her! |
| 89866 I swear we will, Neera, but we've found ourselves in the thick of yet another battle. |
| 89867 They do have nice voices, don't they, Boo? |
| 89868 I'd rather jam hot pokers in my ears than listen to this righteous wailing. |
| 89869 This isn't getting us any closer to the Scroll, <CHARNAME>. And I don't know how much longer I can take this. |
| 89870 That man thereâ€â€he seems familiar. Where do I know him from...? |
| 89871 Who? |
| 89872 I've killed a lot of priests. |
| 89873 So... You arrived in Amn recently? This Jon Irenicus kidnapped you? That couldn't have been fun. |
| 89874 It wasn't. But I'm free now. I'd rather not dwell on it. |
| 89875 Hrmm... I remember him now. |
| 89876 I was imprisoned and tortured. No, it wasn't fun. |
| 89877 I'll take your word for it. |
| 89878 There was a bit of imprisonment and torture. I've endured worse. |
| 89879 Curse the luck! I need to silence him before he recognizes me and raises an alarm. |
| 89880 Understandable! The thought of being imprisoned... brrr! |
| 89881 Oh, gods. I'm so, so sorry. |
| 89882 YOU! HOW DARE YOU DEFILE THIS PLACE WITH YOUR FOUL PRESENCE? |
| 89883 You've had a taste of what I'm most afraid ofâ€â€being taken by a crazy wizard who wants to tear you apart because of what you are. Not even who you are. WHAT you are. Know what I mean? |
| 89884 Intimately. It's a terrible thing, being treated as if what you think and feel is of no consequence. |
| 89885 I speak to the half-orc. MURDERER! BLASPHEMER AGAINST TORM! |
| 89886 You'd prefer evil wizards torture you because of your quick wit or troubled childhood? |
| 89887 Not really. Care to explain? |
| 89888 MURDERER! BLASPHEMER AGAINST ALL THAT IS HOLY! |
| 89889 No. Nor do I care to. |
| 89890 The Red Wizards don't even think of wild mages as people. We're more like books they think they'll just open up and then toss aside. |
| 89891 My killer walks in Lunia! This travesty cannot stand! |
| 89892 Oh. Good. I don't care to tell you. |
| 89893 I want the world to know that I CAN'T be tossed aside. That I matter. Don't you? |
| 89894 One death is enough for most, priest! |
| 89895 I don't think the whole world need know. I'd be happy to make my mark on some small corner of Faerûn. |
| 89896 Don't play pretty with me, <PRO_RACE>. I know my killer's face! |
| 89897 Absolutely. I think I'd die if I didn't make my mark on the world. |
| 89898 No. I know that I matter. That is enough for me. |
| 89899 It's him! I know it's him! |
| 89900 But you CAN be tossed aside. As can I. The world doesn't care about either of us. |
| 89901 Butâ€â€I can't just let him walk away. |
| 89902 Exactly! |
| 89903 Speak for yourself, <CHARNAME>. |
| 89904 Ha ha! That's it, in a way. |
| 89905 You've already done that! You're right, though. That's all you really need. |
| 89906 For my soul...? Torm save me! Even in death, there's no end to my torment. |
| 89907 Usually, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna die no matter what. But I know exactly what you're saying. |
| 89908 I I pray you're right, <PRO_RACE>. Now please, go. Whether it be real, a shapeshifting spirit, or mine own imagination, I can look upon the half-orc no longer. |
| 89909 I know I matter, don't get me wrong. I just wantâ€â€other people to know, too. |
| 89910 There's a cheery thought. You're not big with the moral support, are you? |
| 89911 But I get what you're saying. Maybe you're right. MAYBE. Enough chitchat, though. Let's move. |
| 89912 I guess that makes us peas in a podâ€â€an enormous pod, obviously, with multiple bedrooms, an outhouse, and a wood-burning stove. |
| 89913 I like the way you think. On we go, my fellow pod person. |
| 89914 How about just one bedroom? |
| 89915 That sounds lovely. Let's go find some seeds. |
| 89916 If you say so, Neera. Let's get going. |
| 89917 I said we were peas in a pod, not rabbits in a... whatever rabbits live in! You're my friend, nothing more. Conversation over! |
| 89918 I can't believe that worked. |
| 89919 Let's begone from this place quickly, before we have any other unexpected reunions. |
| 89920 Mind your place, <PRO_RACE>. I'm not your servant. |
| 89921 Truer words were never spokenâ€â€certainly not in this place. |
| 89922 While I normally encourage pausing to reflect, this isn't the best time for it. |
| 89923 Oh, crap. It's Bollard Firejaw. |
| 89924 Best not hang around and figure out where you've met before. Whoever he is, I doubt it's a cherished memory. |
| 89925 Ignore him. We've got more important things to worry about than some sorry choirboy. |
| 89926 He was a priest. You killed him. |
| 89927 I'll tell you later. We've got to get out of here. |
| 89928 A priest you murdered. |
| 89929 The Temple of the Radiant Heart. There was a wedding. You don't remember this? |
| 89930 If you want to live to kill more, then move! |
| 89931 This may be the one who kills you. |
| 89932 No, we need to get out of here before he recognizes you. |
| 89933 Quiet and subtle isn't your strong suit, Dorn. Are you sure you're up for this? |
| 89934 Do it quickly. |
| 89935 Are you speaking to me, sir? |
| 89936 I don't Are you all right, sir? You seem... vexed. |
| 89937 With dignity and aplomb. And a bloodthirsty half-orc. |
| 89938 I'm sorry, but I really do think you're mistaken. |
| 89939 Think for a second. What would your killer be doing here in this place? How could he even get here? |
| 89940 You'll know his sword in a few seconds... |
| 89941 You must let the nightmare of your life go, friend. You are in a better place now. Relinquish the fear, hate, and anger in your heart. |
| 89942 Your soul is not at peace, brother. I pity you. |
| 89943 Would you truly turn this place of joy and harmony into a scene of chaos and bloodshed? Show some respect. |
| 89944 For the sake of your soul, you must. |
| 89945 If it makes you feel better, we'll run. |
| 89946 Then you'll pay the price for your obstinance, you stubborn old goat. |
| 89947 Reflect on the gifts Torm has given you. Give it time. You'll feel better soon. |
| 89948 That's what a life of service gets you. Gods, huh? What can you say? |
| 89949 Be at peace. Your torment is nearly at an end. |
| 89950 I'm a little surprised myself. |
| 89951 Shut up and walk. |
| 89952 There's no fool greater than a holy fool. |
| 89953 The spirits of the faithful dead gather 'round the pools of darkness called the Constellations, singing the praises of their gods. It was there that Dorn saw an old acquaintanceâ€â€a priest he'd slain named Bollard Firejaw. Fortunately, the fool was easily manipulated, and we escaped without calling further attention to ourselves. |

It was there that Dorn saw an old acquaintanceâ€â€a priest he'd slain named Bollard Firejaw. Luckily, he was able to eliminate the priest a second time before the alarm was raised. |

Things will be very difficult from here on in. |

It cost him his life. |
| 89957 Things are really getting serious, aren't they? Not that they weren't before. But thisâ€â€the Bhaalspawn hunting each other, so many dying... This is different. I can tell. |
| 89958 This Bhaalspawn crisis will change the world forever, one way or another. |
| 89959 Perhaps. But we are different too now. We can handle it. |
| 89960 Indeed. I can sense the violence, the deaths of my brothers and sisters. The time is coming. |
| 89961 I hope you're right. I mean, I'm pretty sure I can handle itâ€â€but you? |
| 89962 Yeah, but the time for what, exactly? |
| 89963 It's how it'll change it I'm worried about. |
| 89964 I don't know. We've never talked about what you are, not in depth. I mean, I've gone on and on and ON and on about being a wild mage. |
| 89965 True. I consider myself an expert on wild mages and their habits, thanks to you. |
| 89966 Good evening, strangers. Are you here to partake of the flesh of the divine? |
| 89967 Well, I'm a wild mage too. But that's not what you mean, is it? |
| 89968 I don't have much to go on and on about. I don't really understand what I am. |
| 89969 You misunderstand. Ingesting the Silver Apples is a holy ritual. |
| 89970 You want to talk about being a child of the dead Lord of Murder? |
| 89971 I'll be the judge of that! |
| 89972 But you must! The Silver Apples are one of the true wonders of Lunia. |
| 89973 No, it's not. |
| 89974 That makes two of us, then. |
| 89975 The fruit imparts a holy vigor to those who are worthy. |
| 89976 Something like that. "Lord of Murder"â€â€wow. My dad's name was Kevan. |
| 89977 Your humility is admirable, though I think it misplaced. The unworthy are few and far between in this place. Still, the choice is yours. |
| 89978 Be frank. What does it mean to you, to have this tainted blood? Does it scare you? Are you curious about it? Do you... feel it? |
| 89979 Of course you are worthy. Your sigil marks you as a champion of Tyr. |
| 89980 It's part of who I amâ€â€how could I not? Especially when I fight... I am consumed by a rage somehow barren of emotion. |
| 89981 Fare thee well, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 89982 That's a lot of questions all at once. Don't know, yes, maybe, and yes? |
| 89983 Fear it? Feel it? I embrace it. I love it. It is more than who I am: it is who I am destined to be. |
| 89984 Might I have a word in private, <CHARNAME>? |
| 89985 It's my blood, nothing more. It's not me. I feel it like I feel the joy that strong drink brings. It doesn't last. It isn't real. |
| 89986 NOW, <CHARNAME>. |
| 89987 That sounds scary. I'd hate to feel something like that was a part of me. |
| 89988 All right, all right! I'm just really curious. Come on, you must feel something. Tell me about it. |
| 89989 In private, <CHARNAME>. |
| 89990 I do feel it. It's part of who I amâ€â€how could I not? I feel it especially when I fight... a rage somehow barren of emotion. |
| 89991 Ur-Gothoz demands the tree's corruption. |
| 89992 Fear it? Feel it? I embrace it. I love it. It is more than who I am: it is who I am destined to be. |
| 89993 It is my blood, nothing more. It does not define me. I feel it like I feel the joy strong drink brings. It does not last. It isn't real. |
| 89994 Azothet commands me to destroy the tree. |
| 89995 You dirty louse! I thought you were embracing and loving me, and all the while you've thought of nothing but your divine essence. |
| 89996 I must do as my patron bids. |
| 89997 Then it's different from wild magic. Probably a good thing. Cozying up to a dead, evil god can't make for healthy romantic relationships with others. |
| 89998 A divine sword plunged into the tree's base should get the job done. |
| 89999 I guess that answers my question, though. I have others, but I kind of don't want them answered. We can talk about them when the time comes. If it ever does. |
| 90000 As many times as Ur-Gothoz requires. |
| 90001 I can't believe it's over. |
| 90002 For as long as she commands me, I'll sing as many verses as Azothet deems fit. |
| 90003 We are far from finished. |
| 90004 What are you talking about? |
| 90005 You call me a fool, <CHARNAME>? |
| 90006 You're breaking up with me. |
| 90007 Count yourself lucky we are where we are, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 90008 Breaking up? Are we even together? No, that's not what I'm talking about. |
| 90009 Far from finished your business, maybe. But my quest, my dream ever since Ekandor hounded me all across the Sword Coast, is over. |
| 90010 We shallâ€â€after I deal with the tree. |
| 90011 The Order of the Eight Staves is gone. We cut off its head. We uprooted the tree. We drained the pond. We |
| 90012 Do as you will, <PRO_RACE>. Leave the tree to me. |
| 90013 Yes, I get it. I'm glad to have helped out. |
| 90014 You think you can stop me? |
| 90015 I get it, I get it! You're right; we did well. |
| 90016 It's not over. What about Szass Tam? |
| 90017 Were you even paying attention? Szass Tam didn't care about the Order. Killing him would've been great, but Vicross was the real enemy. |
| 90018 The funny thing? I'm happy. But I'm notâ€â€HAPPY, you know? |
| 90019 Damn you, <CHARNAME>! This wasn't how I wanted things to end. |
| 90020 Why would you be? Justice has been done, but that doesn't change the evils that came before. |
| 90021 No? But why not? |
| 90022 I knew there was a reason I liked you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 90023 You should be. Revel in your vengeance! It is well deserved and has been a long time coming. |
| 90024 You're right. I see that now. |
| 90025 Damn it, <CHARNAME>, as a babe at your mother's teat, I doubt you whined so much. |
| 90026 Believe me, I'm not trying to hold back on the righteous glee. |
| 90027 It's just thatâ€â€well, I changed something. I maybe even changed the world, and for the better. But inside, nothing's different. I thought for sure it would be. |
| 90028 I will be. |
| 90029 Why does anything inside you NEED to change, Neera? I don't think it does. |
| 90030 That is to be expected. That is why, when one quest is finished, we begin another. |
| 90031 It does not matter. You have killed your enemies and made the most powerful zulkir in Thay tremble. |
| 90032 Keep that image in mind and be silent a moment while I deal with the silver tree. |
| 90033 BECAUSE! |
| 90034 When we're out of this place, you and I are going to talk about this, <CHARNAME>. But right now, I've other matters to attend to. |
| 90035 That I can't be happy. |
| 90036 I'll see what I can do. |
| 90037 Yes. Quest after quest, more power, more experience. Life goes on and on, and then we die. But I don't WANT that. |
| 90038 <CHARNAME>. When are you going to deal with the tree? |
| 90039 My patron grows impatient, <CHARNAME>. The tree must be corrupted, now. |
| 90040 Damn your lying tongue, <CHARNAME>! I'll kill the tree myself. |
| 90041 No, but I thank you for the offer. |
| 90042 What sort of disgusting barbarian would eat the flesh of a god? |
| 90043 I WANT something to change inside me. It needs to change! Because there's still something that tells me I can't |
| 90044 Can't what, Neera? |
| 90045 I hadn't planned on it. |
| 90046 But it DOES matter. I should care about all that, obviously. But on some level I don't care at all! |
| 90047 A vigor, you say? That is intriguing. |
| 90048 Ah, look at me. I'm being silly. Maybe it's shock. Like I'm actually so happy that if I felt it, I'd die. So... yeah. Just protecting myself. Don't worry about me. Conversation over. |
| 90049 Does nothing make you happy, Neera? Nothing at all? |
| 90050 I fear I'm not worthy. More to the point, I fear what the apples might do if eaten by someone who's not worthy. |
| 90051 I can make you happy, Neera. |
| 90052 You make me happy... sometimes, in some ways. But I want to be happy all the time. Is that so wrong? |
| 90053 I've enough vigor as it is. Some would say I've too much. |
| 90054 Can you? |
| 90055 Let's just get moving. Maybe someday, when this is over, we can figure things out... together. Iâ€â€I just want you to know that, for what it's worth, I |
| 90056 Of course, Dorn. |
| 90057 I |
| 90058 Later, Dorn. |
| 90059 I mean |
| 90060 Say your piece, Dorn. |
| 90061 I'm really glad you're with me. |
| 90062 Very well, if you insist. |
| 90063 What does this mean? Is this what you must decide? It'sâ€â€it's your call. It'sâ€â€all your call. There. I've said my piece. |
| 90064 Very well. If we must. |
| 90065 No, wait! Hold it! I haven't. I'm not done yet. I |
| 90066 And how does he propose you accomplish this? |
| 90067 I love you. There, I said it. I do, and I don't want you to become a god. I want you to walk with me out of this place and go back to Athkatla and get a beer with me at the Copper Coronet. I want to have as manyâ€â€cats with you as Barad Ding had at the Hidden Refuge. I want you to be yelling at me about my wild surges when I'm sixty-seven. I want you never to regret your decision here. I want you to feel the same way about me as I feel about you. Because you make me happy. Always. Whenever I am by your side. |
| 90068 If he wants the tree corrupted, he can damn well come do it himself. |
| 90069 Ur-Gothoz demands too much. |
| 90070 She what? How are you supposed to manage that? |
| 90071 Azothet can take a flying leap into the Abyss. |
| 90072 Azothet is more eager to see you perish than I expected. |
| 90073 Of course. How will you do the deed? |
| 90074 How many times must I hear this song before you tire of singing it? |
| 90075 You're a damned fool, Dorn. You should have had done with patrons once and for all in the great tree. |
| 90076 You go get a sword. I'm going to take advantage of the divine flesh. |
| 90077 Fortunately, there's plenty of those around. Unfortunately, you're going to use one to corrupt a holy tree and get us both killed. |
| 90078 Of course not, Dorn. Why would I ever do that? |
| 90079 I call myself a fool for ever coming to this place. But I'd rather live as a fool than die as one like your patron proposes. |
| 90080 Lower your voice or I'll call you a dead fool. |
| 90081 Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen. Now let's find the Scroll and do what we came here to do. |
| 90082 It's your good fortune, Dorn. |
| 90083 I can't let you do that, Dorn. |
| 90084 No. I'll do it. |
| 90085 Finish it quickly, and please, for once in your misbegotten life, try not to call attention to yourself. |
| 90086 I think I must. |
| 90087 You're as subtle as an umber hulk in an antiques shop. Let me handle the tree. |
| 90088 I think you're going to get us killed. |
| 90089 Wait, we don't have to end things like this. |
| 90090 Fine. Have at thee, Dorn Il-Khan! |
| 90091 I never knew my mother, Dorn. Go, do what you're going to do, and be quick about it. |
| 90092 Well, why would I? As a babe with a teat, I was probably in good spirits. |
| 90093 You go too far, half-orc. |
| 90094 We'll get to it soon. Lets keep moving. |
| 90095 I came across a tree with branches hung heavy with silver apples. A helpful couple, Zara and Rikkon, extolled the restorative properties of the apples. I hope they enjoyed the fruit, for it will not be available much longerâ€â€Dorn's patron demands the corruption of the tree. |
| 90096 I came across a tree with branches hung heavy with silver apples. A helpful couple, Zara and Rikkon, extolled the restorative properties of the apples.

I bit into an apple, but the result was anything but positive. This place holds nothing good for one such as myself. Dorn's patron demands the corruption of the treeâ€â€the wretched thing can twist and die as far as I'm concerned. |

| 90105 It is done. |
| 90106 You should have used me instead of some weakling divine blade. Through the tree's roots, I could corrupt all of Lunia. |
| 90107 I like you where you are, demon. |
| 90108 It will, and soon. We'd best be away from here before that happens. |
| 90109 We'd best be on our way before anyone realizes what has happened. |
| 90110 Good. Let's get out of here before anyone realizes. |
| 90111 Are you sure? Nothing's happening. |
| 90112 Excellent. |
| 90113 I would. |
| 90114 We're not here for food, <CHARNAME>. I don't know how much longer I can be here at all. |
| 90115 Even so, I believe I shall pass. |
| 90116 I believe I've more than enough vigor to do me right now. Perhaps I'll come have a bite later. |
| 90117 You're very observant. Go observe something else. |
| 90118 As you wish. |
| 90119 Fare thee well, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 90120 Then take a bite and experience the joy for yourself. |
| 90121 Forgive me, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. I meant no offense. |
| 90122 I'm not sure I like your tone. |
| 90123 I don't want to fight you, <PRO_RACE>. But if I must, you'll find me ready. |
| 90124 Let's see how ready you are, fool! |
| 90125 There's no forgiveness required, <PRO_RACE>. This is Lunia. |
| 90126 I didn't mean to offend. Forgive me. |
| 90127 Then I suggest you seek conversation with someone your ears find more pleasing. |
| 90128 I'm damn sure you're not going to like what happens next. |

| 90132 This beautiful, fruit-bearing tree appears warm and inviting, with delectable silver apples hanging from its boughs. Were you so inclined, you could take an apple. |
| 90133 You reach up to the tree and take several apples. |
| 90134 You notice a notch in the tree that would be perfect to drive a blade into. |
| 90135 Before you can act, Dorn steps forward with the divine blade in his grasp. |
| 90136 This once beautiful tree shows visible signs of decay. Whatever warmth and calmness it radiated in the past has vanished. |

Eating such an apple would undoubtedly promote good health and wellness. STATISTICS: Special: Restore 25% of the user's Hit Points, along with a +2 bonus to all attributes for 6 rounds.

| 90143 YES! Ur-Gothoz is pleased! |
| 90144 YES! Azothet's delight knows no bounds! |
| 90145 I care not! All that matters is my patron's pleasure! |
| 90146 Did I hear someone mention pleasure� |
| 90147 Gods, no! What have you done? |
| 90148 What Ur-Gothoz wills! |
| 90149 Whatever my patron, Azothet, desires! |
| 90150 Very well! |
| 90151 If you would challenge me, <CHARNAME>, do it here and now. |
| 90152 Is everything all right here? |
| 90153 I've seen it before. He should spend some time reflecting at the Constellations. |
| 90154 Die for Ur-Gothoz! |
| 90155 I shed her blood for you, Azothet! |
| 90156 Your friend seems... distressed. |
| 90157 It just Wait, what is that? Is that a sword in the tree...? |
| 90158 Dorn, please. Leave this to me. |
| 90159 You idiot, you're going to get us killed! |
| 90160 I told you I'd take care of it. |
| 90161 I'm glad to hear it, but I'd be even more glad if NOBODY ELSE heard it. |
| 90162 I can't tell you how terribly happy I am for him. Let's get out of here before someone notices what you've done. |
| 90163 Dorn, I swear, if we make it out of Lunia, you and I are going to have words about this. |
| 90164 We're fine, thanks. My friend's just having trouble dealing with Lunia's assorted wonders. |
| 90165 Wonderful, fine; we're wonderful. Why do you ask? |
| 90166 It was until you arrived. |
| 90167 Good idea. I'll take him there directly. |
| 90168 And you should spend some time in bloody chunks, you prying harpy. |
| 90169 I'm sure he'll be fine, in time. |
| 90170 Who, him? Nah, this is him on a good day. He's just got the spirit of Tyr in him, shaking him up. You know how it is. |
| 90171 You want to see distressed? |
| 90172 All I wanted to do was quietly corrupt a silver apple tree in the heart of Lunia. But Dorn was having none of itâ€â€he insisted on driving the sword home personally. We got away before we were detected, though only the gods know how. Actually, given our location, even the gods might not have an answer for that one. |
| 90173 All I wanted to do was quietly corrupt a silver apple tree in the heart of Lunia. But Dorn was having none of itâ€â€he insisted on driving the sword home personally. The result was... striking. Fortunately, I was able to talk us past the woman who heard Dorn's cries of joy. |

| 90177 This armor, forged from the scales of a silver dragon, is a dead giveaway of wrongdoing on the part of the wearer.

| 90185 You found me after all. I don't know how you did it, butâ€â€you know what's funny? I no longer care. |
| 90186 You! You TRAITOR! You had me, my friends, and other innocent wild mages hunted and killed, while you just sat here in your grand estate, having wild surges in private, letting it all happen. I'll kill you for what you've done! |
| 90187 I know. |
| 90188 So... you surrender? |
| 90189 Surrender?! No! What for?! Even if I survive, I'm ruined. Everyone will know. |

| 90192 Even if Neera would forgive you, I wouldn't. |
| 90193 You don't understand. Iâ€â€DON'Tâ€â€CAREâ€â€ANYMORE! I'm a wild mage, and I'm free! I'm going to die fighting youâ€â€but before I do, I'm going to live as I've never let myself live before! |

| 90202 What's on your mind? |
| 90203 Of course, Neera. Talking to you is one of the great pleasures of my life. |
| 90204 I have much to think about. Be quick with it. |
| 90205 Iâ€â€wanted to talk about the way we left things back on the Sword Coast. |
| 90206 And how did we leave things? |
| 90207 Which things do you mean? I recall more than a few corpses, some piles of ash, and at least one empty barrel. |
| 90208 Oh. Let's not think too much about the past. |
| 90209 In that case, I don't think there's anything to discuss. Let's keep moving. |
| 90210 I'll try not to take up too much of your oh-so-valuable time. |
| 90211 I'm not sure; that's kind of why I brought it up. |
| 90212 Ha! I remember that barrel. Not quite as rich as it once was, right? But that's not what I meant. |
| 90213 Oh dear. This sounds serious. |
| 90214 What did you mean, then? |
| 90215 Oh. Let's not think too much about the past. |
| 90216 I know what you meant. Don't worry about it, Neera. Whatever was once between us is over. |
| 90217 Right! I'm glad to be traveling with you again, but picking up where we left off would be hard... wherever that was. |
| 90218 Then it's settled. A clean slate. Is there anything else? |
| 90219 Agreed. But you must have had a reason to bring this up. |
| 90220 I feel the same way. There is nothing between us. |
| 90221 That's exactly what I was gonna say... Glad you said it first. |
| 90222 So we agree. Great. That's great. Glad we got that cleared up. |
| 90223 There's no easy way to say this. I just wanted you to know that... well, a lot's happened since the Sword Coast. For both of us. |
| 90224 Yes. Did you have something particular in mind? |
| 90225 All right, who was he?! |
| 90226 Enough. Let's not waste more time on this. |
| 90227 Actually, yes. I met someone. |
| 90228 How did you know? Orâ€â€were you joking? Because it's true. I met someone. |
| 90229 It's over now between me and him. Not that that means anything... I just thought you should know. |
| 90230 I'm glad you told me, Neera. Really. |
| 90231 I don't really know what to say. |
| 90232 What?! Tell me about him. I need to know. |
| 90233 You have to be joking. No? Then that's it. We won't discuss thisâ€â€or anything like thisâ€â€ever again. |
| 90234 So that's it? Just one? Good thing I'm not keeping score. |
| 90235 Really? Good. Let's get moving. Ah! And I thought my first wild surge was awkward. Ha ha! |
| 90236 Sorry for making this as awkward as possible. Don't worry. You don't need to say anything! |
| 90237 Thank you for letting me know, Neera. Let's go. |
| 90238 Then I won't. Let's move on. |
| 90239 I won't. Don't ever expect a kind word from me again. |
| 90240 What good would that do? Please, <CHARNAME>, just leave it alone. I'm sorry I mentioned it. |
| 90241 Very well. I suppose I'm glad you told me. |
| 90242 What am I supposed to say? |
| 90243 That's it, then. This conversation is over. |
| 90244 Yes, because you'd automatically lose ten points for being a terrible person. Look, I'm sorry I brought this up. Let's just get going. |
| 90245 I won't expect anything at all from you. Let's move on. This place is boring. |
| 90246 Wha... what does this mean? Is this what you must decide? It's your decision, <CHARNAME>. It'sâ€â€all your call. There. I've said my piece. |
| 90247 No, I haven't. I'm not done yet. I |

| 90250 Hi there! You're friends with Telana, right? I'm Mereth. |
| 90251 Hello, Mereth. Yes, we are. |
| 90252 I know her, yes. |
| 90253 I have met her. What of it? |
| 90254 Telana... she's been real good to me since I came here. |
| 90255 I'm sure she has. She seems a pleasant sort. |
| 90256 That's nice, but I should be going. |
| 90257 You, um, don't know her that good yet? I like her. Definitely more than Hayes. Anyway... |
| 90258 I'm her friend too! Hayes is NOT my friend, though. Don't tell Telana, but he is mean. Anyway... |
| 90259 Yes. I like Mironda, too. She's funny! There aren't many other girls in the camp, except for Kirik's mom... and she always seems sad. Kirik is a boy, but he's fun anyway. I'm glad he's here. |
| 90260 Hey, I'm here too! Or at least I'm here right now. Do you remember me saving you from that witch? |
| 90261 Oh yeah! You're the one with pink hair. Th-thank you. |
| 90262 I... I really miss my mom, though. |
| 90263 I understand. I never knew my mother, and I... lost my father. The one who raised me, anyway. My other father is gone too, I suppose. |
| 90264 I am sorry for your loss, child. |
| 90265 It will pass. |
| 90266 Hey, I didn't know my dad, and you didn't know your mom. So we're kind of the same, you and me! |
| 90267 Oh... Um... Okay. |
| 90268 You know what? My mom gave me a hairband that was hers. Her hair was SO pretty and long. Much longer than mine. I... I lost it. Right before I came here. I wish I could have it back. |
| 90269 I will look for it, Mereth. If I find it, I'll bring it back to you. |
| 90270 I could try to get it for you. |
| 90271 Wishes rarely come true. |
| 90272 Really?! That would be great! |
| 90273 Before I disappeared, I was where the big bridge is in the city. I think I lost it near some boxes close to where that witch chased me. |
| 90274 There were many crates in that part of the Bridge District. I'll look for it there. |
| 90275 Perhaps it will turn up, then. |
| 90276 It likely belongs to some street urchin now. |
| 90277 I hope you find it and bring it back. I think you will... Bye! |
| 90278 Street urchin? What's THAT?! |
| 90279 I know... I wish for Mama to come back every night. It never happens. But maybe you could make this one little wish come true?! |
| 90280 I know we've got other things to deal with, but I feel responsible for her in a weird way. I'd really like to help her out. |
| 90281 We must do this. However small it may seem, it is the world to her. It may be the only thing she has left of her mother. |
| 90282 Boo says we should find the hairband! Boo believes the children are our future! |
| 90283 Indulge your sentimentality if you must, <CHARNAME>, but don't expect me to respect your decision. |
| 90284 Are there not greater deeds to be done than this? We save ourselves some trouble and teach the child a valuable lesson about loss if we refuse this task. |
| 90285 We aren't open for business yet. Who let you in? |
| 90286 The guard. We are adventurers in urgent need of magical items. |
| 90287 We are here to destroy the Order of Eight Staves. Stand aside. |
| 90288 I'll open you soon enoughâ€â€from your navel to your neck. Prepare yourself! |
| 90289 You should have started with "neck" and ended with "navel," <CHARNAME>. Just something to consider next time you're making a dire threat. |
| 90290 I thought we were here to shut this operation down! |
| 90291 Hush, Neera. We can avoid more bloodshed this way. |
| 90292 You're right. Let's shut it down. |
| 90293 Be quiet, Neera! These merchants probably have items that would be of great use to me. |
| 90294 Now we're talking. All right, everyone! It's time to fight. |
| 90295 I have a better idea. Why don't we DONATE money to the Order of Eight Staves? That way we could avoid taxes and help the Red Wizards hunt wild mages all at once. |
| 90296 I should have known. Here for Lanneth and her lackeys, eh? I don't suppose you have a... an appointment to destroy them? |
| 90297 What are you, their secretary? |
| 90298 I am Gul Dukeem. I manage the mercantile affairs of the enclave. I have no wish to get between you and the Orderâ€â€but if you're trying to stop them, there's no way you'll leave this place alive. |
| 90299 If you wished to remain neutral, you shouldn't have threatened us. |
| 90300 Perhaps we can come to an arrangement, then. I need supplies. |
| 90301 We may not leave this place alive, but you definitely won't. |
| 90302 But he did. And now we get to kill the miserable blood merchant, right? |
| 90303 They're right about that. All right, everyone. It's time to fight. |
| 90304 Zara |
| 90305 You're back! It's all over, then? |
| 90306 It is. For now, anyway. |
| 90307 Rikkon |
| 90308 You've done it? You've really done it? |
| 90309 Tell us what happened. |
| 90310 Justice has been done. We put a dent in the Red Wizards' operations in Amn. |
| 90311 I killed Lanneth, the leader of the Order in Athkatla. The Order still exists, but this should buy you some time. |
| 90312 Lanneth is dead. The Red Wizard Enclave is destroyed. My work is done. |
| 90313 Justice! I am glad to hear it. You have returned a hero, <CHARNAME>. |
| 90314 It's true. I don't know what we would've done without you. Sorry if I seemedâ€â€different, before. I was justâ€â€SO angry. |
| 90315 You bought us time, but the Order is not destroyed; they may even make a special point of hunting us now. From now on, there can be no place we call home for long. |
| 90316 Right! And it's probably best we go our separate waysâ€â€those of us who can, anyway. No more herding wild mages. So much… so much for my brilliant plan. I guess that means I'm coming with you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 90317 I wouldn't have it any other way. |
| 90318 In the future, perhaps, but not right now. |
| 90319 Not a chance, Neera. I've done enough for you already. |
| 90320 Great! Iâ€â€I have something for you. It's not much, but you might appreciate it. |
| 90321 A mechanical bird. How marvelous. What does it do? |
| 90322 What is this?! |
| 90323 This claptrap pile of brass is a reward? |
| 90324 It's not the most useful gift. It singsâ€â€sometimesâ€â€if you can call it singing. |
| 90325 Knocktor helped me make it, so there may be some wild magic in there somewhere. Who knows how it works? But it's a gift. Think of it as gratitude with tiny brass wings! |
| 90326 Thank you, Neera. It's great. |
| 90327 Hmm. Thanks, I guess. |
| 90328 In that case, I'll pawn it the first chance I get. |
| 90329 Thank you once again for all you've done. I've found some treasure you'll be pleased with, I think. I just need to go fetch it. |
| 90330 Very well. |
| 90331 You have done us all a great service. You are a hero, <CHARNAME>. |
| 90332 This is wonderful news. Do not worry; your work shall be rewarded. |
| 90333 Well, that's nice to hear, I guess. Not as nice as "Neera, you're great! What would I ever do without you?!" But it'll do for now. The others may head out soon, but... I think I'll stay here for a while. |
| 90334 I should have expected you to say something like that. Well, jerk, if you change your mind, I'll be here in the camp for a while. |
| 90335 A mechanical bird, obviously! |
| 90336 Claptrap? Do you know what it took to make that thing? Well, I guess if you were expecting a magic sword or something, this could be seen as a letdown. |
| 90337 You're welcome! |
| 90338 Are you kidding? It's gratitude! You can't put a price on gratitude. Oh well. I won't tell you what to do with it. You shouldn't pawn it, though. |
| 90339 A darkness envelops Resurrection Gorge, and it has clearly taken a toll on the mind of the nereid Winterbrook. Fortunately, I was able to communicate with her in spite of her madness, and convinced her to relinquish the summoning stone she had hidden in her waterfall. |
| 90340 A darkness envelops Resurrection Gorge, and it clearly took a toll on the mind of the nereid Winterbrook. Killing her was a mercy, I thinkâ€â€if not, then a necessity, for I doubt she'd have parted with the summoning stone she hid in her waterfall any other way. |
| 90341 A darkness envelops Resurrection Gorge, and it has clearly taken a toll on the mind of the nereid Winterbrook. While I don't think she liked me much, I was able to acquire the summoning stone she had in her possession. |
| 90342 I learned much from the spirit of the druid who created the summoning circle within Resurrection Gorge's great tree. His attempt to forge a connection to the Beastlands instead opened a portal to the Abyss. It didn't go well for him. |
| 90343 I learned much from the spirit of the druid who created the summoning circle within Resurrection Gorge's great tree. His attempt to forge a connection to the Beastlands instead opened a portal to the Abyss. A tanar'ri was released into the gorge. It now holds mostâ€â€not allâ€â€of the missing summoning stones. |
| 90344 I learned much from the spirit of the druid who created the summoning circle within Resurrection Gorge's great tree. His attempt to forge a connection to the Beastlands instead opened a portal to the Abyss. A tanar'ri was released into the gorge. It now holds mostâ€â€not allâ€â€of the missing summoning stones. |
| 90345 I learned much from the spirit of the druid who created the summoning circle within Resurrection Gorge's great tree. His attempt to forge a connection to the Beastlands instead opened a portal to the Abyss. A tanar'ri was released into the gorge. It now holds mostâ€â€not allâ€â€of the missing summoning stones. |
| 90346 Dorn's bloody path According to the druid Vernus, dragons hold one of the missing summoning stones, someone named Winterbrook another. Most are held by the tanar'ri. To free Dorn from Ur-Gothoz's service, we must collect them all. |
| 90347 Dorn's bloody path According to the druid Vernus, the missing summoning stones all remain inside Resurrection Gorge. To free Dorn from Ur-Gothoz's service, we must find them all. |
| 90348 While Azothet was correct that the bole of Resurrection Gorge's great tree contains a summoning circle Dorn may use to gain independence from Ur-Gothoz, she neglected to mention that the circle was incomplete. We will begin searching for the missing summoning stones immediately. |
| 90349 While Azothet was correct that the bole of Resurrection Gorge's great tree contains a summoning circle Dorn may use to gain independence from Ur-Gothoz, she neglected to mention that the circle was incomplete. We will attempt to raise the spirit of the druid whose body lies in the circleâ€â€perhaps he will be able to shed some light on its missing pieces. |
| 90350 While Azothet was correct that the bole of Resurrection Gorge's great tree contains a summoning circle Dorn may use to gain independence from Ur-Gothoz, she neglected to mention that the circle was incomplete. A... discussionâ€â€a frank discussionâ€â€'twixt me and Dorn degenerated into violence. I'll need to find my way out of this pit without him. |
| 90351 Dorn's bloody path To bind Ur-Gothoz, we must locate the stones missing from the great tree's summoning circle, as well as an abyssal blade Dorn believes is carried by the tanar'ri that stalks Resurrection Gorge. |
| 90352 According to Yarrow, a tanar'ri lurking within the gorge is the cause of her tree's sorry state. She will permit us to enter the pit, but we'll not be allowed out unless and until the monster is dealt with. |
| 90353 Yarrow has described some of what awaits us in the gorgeâ€â€ankhegs, faerie dragons, and a nereid among them. She will permit us to enter the pit, but we'll not be allowed out unless and until a tanar'ri released by the druid Vernus has been destroyed. |
| 90354 Dorn's bloody path The dryad Yarrow will allow us to enter Resurrection Gorgeâ€â€but we must eliminate a tanar'ri lurking in the shadows of her great tree before she'll let us leave. |
| 90355 I have made the acquaintance of a faerie dragon who calls himself the Great and Magnificent and Also Incredibly Handsome Filbert. I've decided to find that charming. |
| 90356 I have made the acquaintance of a faerie dragon who calls himself the Great and Magnificent and Also Incredibly Handsome Filbert. I've decided to find that charming. He claims to have access to a summoning stone and will give it to me if I fetch him some crystals from another part of the gorge. |
| 90357 I have made the acquaintance of a faerie dragon who calls himself the Great and Magnificent Filbert, presumably because nobody else who's met him would call him anything remotely so positive. He claims to have access to a summoning stone, and will give it to me if I fetch him some crystals from another part of the gorge. |
| 90358 I made the acquaintance of a faerie dragon and then I killed him. |
| 90359 I made the acquaintance of a faerie dragon who called himself the Great and Magnificent Filbert, though I suspect he wishes I hadn't. I now possess the summoning stone the faerie dragons had acquired. |
| 90360 You aren't happy to see an enemy like Azothet humiliated so? |
| 90361 He did it for you, Ur-Gothoz. You should be rewarding, not browbeating him. |
| 90362 He did it that he may be free of your ill-considered whims, glabrezu. |
| 90363 Die in the name of Dorn Il-Khan! |
| 90364 I see what you are doing here, half-orc. You would be free of my command. I'll not allow it. |
| 90365 He seeks only to serve you, Ur-Gothoz. Imagine what he can accomplish for you now that he wields Azothet's power. |
| 90366 Try and stop it, glabrezu. |
| 90367 I can well imagine what he'll do with that powerâ€â€which is why he must be destroyed. |
| 90368 The Visage |
| 90369 Few would dare double-cross a fiend, and fewer still would attempt to triple-cross one. Dorn Il-Khan, half-orc blackguard from the city of Luskan, was one of the few. Approached by a rival of his demonic patron, he agreed to betray his master. Instead, at a critical juncture, he turned the situation on the rival, binding her into a powerful sword. As a reward, his patron granted him this terrifying mask. The silver mask has a grotesque face distorted into a grimace. When donned, the eyes pulse with a deep red when the wearer speaks, adding to its unsettling presence. It hums with a variety of magical enchantments, inspiring fear in all who gaze upon it.

| 90370 In my wildest dreams, I never imagined I would wield such power as this. |
| 90371 What do you mean? |
| 90372 A brilliant scheme, <CHARNAME>! Help me write her name in the circle while it retains its summoning power. |
| 90373 It is beyond anything I've ever known. |
| 90374 You need not fear the horrors to come, <CHARNAME>. You've proven your worth. Would that I could say the same for these others. |
| 90375 It is time, <CHARNAME>â€â€past time, in factâ€â€that we rid ourselves of these sycophants that cling to you like so many leeches. |
| 90376 To seal our unholy union, they must die. |
| 90377 Very well then. Pick the one whose blood will bind us together for all time. |
| 90378 I call them what they are: parasites all. |
| 90379 Wellâ€â€I suppose one would suffice. |
| 90380 These worms weaken you, <CHARNAME>. They cannot be tolerated. |
| 90381 Whatever purpose I see fit, of course. |
| 90382 With this blade in my hand, my dreams shall become reality. |
| 90383 Whatever I choose. With this ebon blade in my hand, nothing is beyond my power. |
| 90384 And what use will you put it to, Dorn? |
| 90385 Really? You need a better quality of wildest dream, my friend. |
| 90386 Then you must use it. |
| 90387 Ur-Gothoz no longer commands you. Your life is your own. My question is, what are you going to make of it? |
| 90388 Nothing. It just seemed like a suitably dramatic thing to say. |
| 90389 Ur-Gothoz's power flows fresh in the black metal. Use it now to strike Azothet down! |
| 90390 What are you saying? |
| 90391 You call my friends leeches? |
| 90392 Well, this conversation's certainly taken an unpleasant turn. |
| 90393 They have their uses to me. |
| 90394 I won't allow that to happen. |
| 90395 What, all of them? |
| 90396 A pointless waste of valuable resources. One death should be sufficient to seal any unholy union. |
| 90397 Eternity beckons! |
| 90398 You can't ask me to make that choice, Dorn. |
| 90399 You can't expect me to do nothing while you malign my friends and allies, Dorn. Your new sword will be put to use sooner than you expected. |
| 90400 Your newfound power has blinded you, Dorn. These people are not without their uses. |
| 90401 You've gained a sword and lost your mind, Dorn. |
| 90402 That's better. Much more reasonable. |
| 90403 You think I'd kill one of them for you? You overestimate your value to me, half-orc. |
| 90404 Joker |
| 90405 Dormamus |
| 90406 Bannor |
| 90407 ...And so it came that Baeloth's game was quickly turned to naught. |
| 90408 Thassk Kun |
| 90409 BRAVO! |
| 90410 More! MORE! |
| 90411 Outstanding, madam... BRAVO! |
| 90412 A decent yarn, though a bit TOO fantastic if you ask me. |
| 90413 Thank you. It is an amazing tale, all the more so for the fact that it actually happened. |
| 90414 WHAT? It can't be! It... it's just too fantastic! |
| 90415 No one could survive such a litany of trials! |
| 90416 Aye, 'tis impossible! |
| 90417 You are a talented entertainer, madam, but do not insult my intelligence. The story you told is naught but a story. It never happened. |
| 90418 It sounds fantastic, I know, but it IS true. I can prove itâ€â€unless I'm much mistaken, the Champion of Baeloth's Pits is among us this very minute. Everyone, say hello to <CHARNAME>â€â€our tale's protagonist in the flesh! |
| 90419 It is true. How did you know it was me? |
| 90420 What? Where? |
| 90421 I'm not suggesting you should bow before me, but it wouldn't be inappropriate. |
| 90422 Your fame has spread far and wide! |
| 90423 Is it really you? |
| 90424 Out of my way! I saw <PRO_HIMHER> first! |
| 90425 Back off! The first autograph is MINE! |
| 90426 Relax, everyone. No need to get pushy! |
| 90427 Great, everyone here knows me now. Another tavern ruined... |
| 90428 Right then. everyone line up. 10 gold per autograph! |
| 90429 <CHARNAME>! I've found you, and not a moment too soon! You're in danger! DANGER, I TELL YOU! |
| 90430 Najim? What's going on? |
| 90431 What a shock. You and danger always seem to go hand in hand. |
| 90432 This doesn't have anything to do with the village that burned down last week, does it? Because I wasn't involved. |
| 90433 I was attacked by a group of bounty hunters! Before I escaped, I heard them say your nameâ€â€I came to warn you! |
| 90434 You're safe now. |
| 90435 Let me guess. This "escape" involved your telling them where to find me. |
| 90436 Wait! Something is wrong... we're in an ambush! Prepare yourselves! The bounty hunters are upon us! |
| 90437 *clap* *clap* Bravo, fool. Your desperate efforts prove futile after all! |
| 90438 Careful, <CHARNAME>! I suspect the bard's not really a bard! |
| 90439 Your deductive powers are beyond compare. |
| 90440 What gave it away? The crazed look in her eyes, the psychotic leer, or the blades that have suddenly appeared in her hands? |
| 90441 When this is over, Najim, remind me to slit your throat, please. |
| 90442 I AM a bard. The name's Joker. And the joke? I'm afraid it's on you. |
| 90443 You should have stayed out of this, djinni. Guilty consciences are unhealthy. |
| 90444 You will not take me alive! |
| 90445 I am at peace with that. We came here for <CHARNAME>. You are expendable. |
| 90446 No. I'm keeping this one for myself. |
| 90447 Do what you want, Dormamus! Just don't let another target escape! |
| 90448 "Another"? You blame me for your failures, Thassk? |
| 90449 Pol Pyrrus |
| 90450 What's that supposed to mean? |
| 90451 Wasn't it clear? Let me use simple words for you: You are responsible for our last target's escape. But then, losing things is a particular talent of yours. |
| 90452 Is that so, Pyrrus? Tell me, have you been kicked out of any perfectly good enclaves recently? |
| 90453 I ought to beat you into stew, salamander! |
| 90454 Try it, you bald-headed maggot! |
| 90455 Would you two like to fight while our bounty escapes, or can we get down to business? |
| 90456 You'll find I am far too powerful for you to handle! |
| 90457 Me, escape? I'm more concerned some of you might get away. |
| 90458 Yes, enough bickering. When does the maiming and killing start? |
| 90459 Hah. And they call me a Joker. |
| 90460 I tire of this prattle. Take them! |
| 90461 Ooh, plucky, isn't <PRO_HESHE>? I like it! |
| 90462 Gee, leave it to the mark to figure out the plot first! I'd practically fall asleep waiting for some of you to quit wagging your jaws! |
| 90463 No... Maybe. But then I thought better of it. I couldn't leave you to face them alone! |
| 90464 Come now! I know it's you. I know everything worth knowing, and your fame has spread far and wide. |
| 90465 Hah! Baeloth's Champion does not lack for ego. |
| 90466 Bind and ready them for transport. Dennaton will pay us handsomely for these ones. |
| 90467 Augh, mine head! By the Oakfather's leafy arse, I've never met a woman who could drink like that! One minute I'm singing with an ale in one hand and a wench in the other, and then I wake up here... Where in the Nine Hells am I? |
| 90468 I was hoping you could tell me. |
| 90469 No clue. I'll ask someone else. |
| 90470 Your brain hurts? Well, at least it's a small problem. |
| 90471 Aye. Well, if you find out where the food, ale, and women are, come back and tell Voghiln! |
| 90472 I would if I could, but the guards say nothing to me. I tell you this, though: From where I stand, it is looking like a room of some sort. Has a floor... walls... doors. Ja! We are in a room! |
| 90473 How long have you been here? |
| 90474 Do you know why we were brought here? |
| 90475 My gods, you're right! I'll be leaving it now. |
| 90476 It would appear intelligence is not a prerequisite for being held here. |
| 90477 A couple of hours, maybe. Long enough to be getting hungry, I'll tell you this. |
| 90478 Very well, thank you for your time. |
| 90479 You can get hungry? I find that hard to believe. Well, I must be going. |
| 90480 For you, that would take, what, five minutes? |
| 90481 I do not know why we were brought here. I am thinking I was snatched for my fame in fighting, drinking, and my way with the ladies. |
| 90482 Thank you for your time. I must go now. |
| 90483 Are you sure you weren't brought here for your finely honed, razor-sharp wit? |
| 90484 There's nothing we can do. |
| 90485 Yes, all spells have been disrupted. We are at their mercy. |
| 90486 You are all weak... or cowards... or both! I'm a master of teleportation! I canâ€â€and willâ€â€escape this dungeon! |
| 90487 Do not be rash, my young friend. You may not like the result. |
| 90488 Rash? RASH? MY POWER CANNOT BE CONTAINED! Now watch... and learn! |
| 90489 Well, he was right in a way. He escaped, after a fashion. |
| 90490 Poor lad. His power could be contained after all. Just... not within his own body. |
| 90491 Quit yer jabbering and listen up! All performers are to report to the banquet hall for the welcoming feast! |
| 90492 Performers? |
| 90493 Welcoming feast? |
| 90494 The cook's really outdone himself this time, so enjoy. For some of you, it'll be your last meal. Now get going! |
| 90495 You dare try to command Hort Il-D'rth? I'll rip you open and strangle you with your own entrails! |
| 90496 Stranglin' your enemy with their own entrails. A classic. |
| 90497 Try it. You won't get three steps before you're sliced to ribbons. Now go eat your dinner. |
| 90498 You lot can stay here and argue, but I'm going to give this feast a try. Pardon me. |
| 90499 Just calm down, everyone. The number of guards here makes an escape unlikely at the moment. |
| 90500 Psst, orc, I bet you could do it! You should attack. I'll watch! |
| 90501 Pah! Some of these guards aren't fit to wield a steak knife, much less a sword. |
| 90502 True. But there are many of them. And the spellcasters among us have been rendered powerless. Better to bide our time and gather information. |
| 90503 I'd expect such cowardice from a drow! |
| 90504 And I such wisdom from an orc. |
| 90505 That's it! I could use a fight, and need no excuse to kill a drow! |
| 90506 Calm yourself. You actually growled a few two-syllable words there. You don't want to break your brain now, do you? |
| 90507 Enough.You aren't fighting anyone, orc. Not yet. And you, drow, save the wit for the arena. |
| 90508 I'll not say it again. On your way! |
| 90509 Might as well. Food is food, and I believe a feast was mentioned. |
| 90510 Proceed south to the banquet hall. You can't miss it. |
| 90511 It appears that I have been taken prisonerâ€â€again. This time, I shall keep a journal of the happenings; perhaps it is a lack of self-reflection that has gotten me into this mess not once but twice. I must get to the banquet hall. |
| 90512 Get to the banquet hall 'fore I get prickly on yer arse, performer. |
| 90513 Where am I? |
| 90514 Let me out! I don't belong here! |
| 90515 Very well. |
| 90516 You heard the orders. Get to the banquet hall! |
| 90517 Keep moving. The banquet hall's straight ahead. |
| 90518 Think you're too good to follow orders? Think again. Move. |
| 90519 There's nothing here for you, performer. Be on your way! |
| 90520 Tartle said to say nothing 'til you meet the boss. Off with ya! |
| 90521 Really? I've never heard THAT before. Take it up with the boss. You'll meet him in the banquet hall. |
| 90522 Come in! Come in and take your seats. This is a wonderful day for you allâ€â€the beginning of a new life as a hero fit for the epics... or a villain, perhaps, equally fit for the bards to sing of. The choice is yours. |
| 90523 But I get ahead of myself. Introductions are in order. I am Quartermaster Tartle, your new best friend and advocate as you embark upon your path to fame, fortune, and, yes, even immortality! |
| 90524 Oh, by Tymora's dice, give it a rest already... |
| 90525 Brodle? Did you say something? No? Heh... Keep it that way! |
| 90526 So... where was I? Oh, yes... I am Quartermaster Tartle, friend to the famous, mentor to the mighty, grand vizier of all... |
| 90527 He was right, Tartle! I don't have all day! |
| 90528 Oh, yes... of course, sir. E-e-everyone, this is Dennaton, Master of the Arena. His wealth is unending, his largesse unmatched, his |
| 90529 Silence, fool! |
| 90530 O-o-of course, sir. A-as you wish, sir. Right away, sir. |
| 90531 As Tartle said, I am Dennaton. I own the arena you are now a part ofâ€â€a very special arena. This is no pit filled with poorly trained slaves stabbing each other for the amusement of the lowborn. |
| 90532 No, this arena, MY arena, is unique. There is nothing like it in all of Faerûn. |
| 90533 Each of you has been chosen because each of you is a legend. You are among the greatest warriors, assassins, and archmages the world has ever known. |
| 90534 Your fame will attract those elements of Thayan society that truly matter to my arena. The entertainment you provide will let me turn THEIR wealth into MY wealth. |
| 90535 I mean, "OUR" wealth, of course. This is a partnership. I need you and you, me. So long as you perform and entertain our audience, you will live a life of comfort, even opulence. |
| 90536 You expect us to kill each other for you and your patrons' amusement? |
| 90537 I like comfort and opulence. I like freedom even more. |
| 90538 Forget it. I'm not going through this again! |
| 90539 Well, if you absolutely refuse to fight, I'll have little choice but to kill you. But I'm sure you want this arena to succeed as much as I do. So I'll focus on the positive rather than the negative. |
| 90540 For those that do not... Well, we need not be unpleasant. After all, I know that each of you wants this arena to succeed as much as I do. |
| 90541 Anything you want you will receive. Any culinary treat you crave, any entertainment, no matter how obscure or depraved. Gold, silver, gems... Anything from the four corners of Faerûn I can bring here for you... provided you hold up your end of the bargain. |
| 90542 You won't be fighting each other, at least not often. That would be counterproductive! You are the prize horses, not the mules! |
| 90543 For most fights, you'll be pitted against useless fodder. A few ogres, perhaps, or a group of Cormyrian criminals I "rescued" from the gallows. |
| 90544 You'll easily win, but your job is to put on a show. Suck the audience in. Make your opponents' deaths as entertaining as possible! Play with them. Disembowel them in a new and inventive way that displays your expert swordplay and really shows your creativity. Have fun with it! If you enjoy the slaughter, the audience will too! |
| 90545 Now allow me to introduce you to each other. |
| 90546 First, hailing from the Ten Towns, we have the mighty warrior Voghiln "the Vast"! |
| 90547 The Vast? What is this? I have never used such a nickname! |
| 90548 You do now... it accurately describes the scope of both your propensity for violence AND your love of wine, women, and song! |
| 90549 Eh... Fine, it fits. |
| 90550 Excellent! And over here, we have a man of the gods and FOR the people! A man for whom battle and honor are not just words, but a way of life. Yes, it's Timmoth "The Champion" Goodtree! |
| 90551 This place is a blight upon Faerûn. Tempus demands I destroy you, it, and all these other heathens. |
| 90552 THAT'S the spirit, Timmoth. Play that "destroy the heathens" angle up a bit! The crowds will suck it in! Next up is a man of the cloth. A man whose love of Lathander burns bright as the emerging dawn, yet one who yearns to see the wretched cast into the darkness of the Abyss. I give you Brother Ellraish of the Sun Soul! |
| 90553 The Pits of Despair seem darkest to those who will not see. |
| 90554 We could all benefit from suchâ€â€well, let's call it wisdom. |
| 90555 A lion alone can have no pride. |
| 90556 Rrrright. |
| 90557 Next, we have a woman eager to be judge, jury... and EXECUTIONER! Equally happy protecting the weak and PUNISHING THE GUILTY! A woman whose name is so great, she needs no nickname. It's Mercy Whitedove! |
| 90558 By what rights do you imprison us? |
| 90559 Think of yourselves as my guests, my dear, and of the arena as... an inn. An inn for people who fight and kill others for money and entertainment. |
| 90560 Next is a wizard of deceptive power. His aging body may seem past its prime, but his mind is sharp as any blade. I give you Dulf "The Ancient Threat" Ebonbeard! |
| 90561 Huh? What? W-where am I? Who are you? Who am I? |
| 90562 Don't let that act fool you! Very cagey is the Ancient Threat. Next, we have a <PRO_MANWOMAN> whose deeds are so well known, they hardly need mentioning. A <PRO_MANWOMAN> legendary for prowess in gladiatorial combat. I give you the Champion of Baeloth's Pit, <CHARNAME>! |
| 90563 I'll not play your pathetic game, Dennaton! I decide my own fate! |
| 90564 What, no nickname for me? |
| 90565 Let me be clear, Dennaton. I'll fight and I'll kill. It's what I do, but if the coin's not good enough, I'll butcher and stew you in a pot of your own gravy! |
| 90566 Oh, <CHARNAME>, don't be so naïve. Fighting for a king, country, god, or even an ideal is still fighting for a cause that isn't you. At least this way you get rich in the process. |
| 90567 A feeble justification. I'll hear no more of your lies. |
| 90568 Hmm... We shall see. |
| 90569 I'd better. |
| 90570 You don't have to like it, <CHARNAME>. You just have to fight, and if you don't? Well, then you shall be killed. A shame to lose one of your talent, but the show will go on. |
| 90571 Of course you shall have one! How about "The Ravager"? No, no, no, no... "Infinite Desolation"? No, I don't like that... Of course! You are "The Scourge of Baeloth"! |
| 90572 Right, with that cleared up, we can turn to the show itself. As a great bard once said, "All the world's a stage, and all of us merely players! Each of us in our time will play many parts!" |
| 90573 So now we decide which part each of you shall play. Our main star will be <CHARNAME>, who is already well known as a champion of the arena. |
| 90574 You're joking. I'm the greatest warrior hereâ€â€the glory should be mine. |
| 90575 You? The greatest warrior? Greatest halfling warrior, maybe, but that still only makes you half the warrior I am! |
| 90576 Half the warrior you are? What, you ate a fighter who wasn't a drunken fatass? |
| 90577 I conquered the Nightmares! An entire clan of orcs wiped out in an afternoon! |
| 90578 Oh, you kill orcs, do you? Maybe you'd like to try me out, you ale-drenched whale! |
| 90579 Back off, orc. He's on the List. You can kill him when I'm finished! |
| 90580 Hold, everyone. We'll gain nothing by fighting each other! |
| 90581 You pathetic nitwits! Don't you get that we're all slaves? You do this fool's bidding, fighting each other! |
| 90582 Oh, good. A fight! Finally, some entertainment. |
| 90583 Wrong. I'll gain the satisfaction of gutting a pompous ape. |
| 90584 Fools. No matter how well we're treated, we're ultimately just slaves who live and die at the whims of our master. |
| 90585 Uh... How do you know about him? |
| 90586 I refer to the audience, of course. They will determine our fates, will they not? |
| 90587 Oh, the audience! Of course! Naturally, that's who I meant. I often refer to lots of people together in the singular. |
| 90588 Enough talk! More killing! |
| 90589 Bring it on, baboon! |
| 90590 To the pain! |
| 90591 At last, a voice of reason. No matter how well we're treated, we ultimately live and die at the whims of our new master. |
| 90592 Oh, you'll find the money more than sufficient, don't you worry about that. You just keep them coming back for more. |
| 90593 Stop, you fools! You're ruining everything! |
| 90594 Winged, come forth. I command you! |
| 90595 Stand down, mortals. |
| 90596 I trust the point is clear to even the dimmest among you. Obey me, or face the Winged's wrath. |
| 90597 I weary of these menial tasks, Dennaton. |
| 90598 Yet you do not grow tired of the coin that comes with them... |
| 90599 Coin only pays for so many sins. |
| 90600 By the gods, fallen planetars and their endless talk of "sins." Let us discuss this elsewhere, away from our... guests. Now go. |
| 90601 Very well. |
| 90602 As for the rest of you... well, I look forward to seeing you in the arena. Based on what I've seen so far, there should be no lack of enthusiasm from you. |
| 90603 That's it, then. You ingrates have ruined your feast! I hope you enjoyed itâ€â€you'll get no more food until you've earned it in the arena! Perhaps you'll appreciate Dennaton's largesse once you've had to fight to get it! |
| 90604 Speaking of which, when any of you finally do decide you're ready to fight, you'll find me amidst the merchant stalls just to the east of here. Speak to me to get in on the action. |
| 90605 Clangeddin's beard, look at this! All me work ruined by you donkeys! Do y'have any idea what it takes to make braised lobster arabel with broccoli root cream and shellfish vinaigrette? THAT WAS PURE ART! |
| 90606 I've studied me craft with the greatest masters from Waterdeep to Silverymoon... yet here I am, cooking for peasants with the culinary sophistication of pigs at a trough! |
| 90607 And how CAN me work be properly admired when the Winged and her merry band of THUGS constantly ruin it? By Moradin's hammer, that overstuffed little runt, Tartle, will pay for this! |
| 90608 Where is that peanut-sized rat? Scurried off to his hole, most like! TARTLE, YOU VERMIN, COME AND FACE ME! ME LOBSTER ARABEL WILL BE AVENGED! |
| 90609 These imbeciles wouldn't know a fine meal from ogre droppings. |
| 90610 Tartle... who does he think he is? I should bake him in a pie. |
| 90611 And Dennaton... walks around like he's dipped in gold. |
| 90612 Someone should pluck that planetar's wings already. |
| 90613 Oh, here comes another lamb fer the slaughter. What do y'want? |
| 90614 Who are you? |
| 90615 What is this place? |
| 90616 How can we get out of here? |
| 90617 Never mind. |
| 90618 I'm the bleedin' chef. Wasn't fer me, ye'd have nothin' GOOD to eat. None of ye would, the hunters upstairs or the slaves below. |
| 90619 I best never find ye lingering around me kitchen, poking in me pots, complaining about yer food... Even look at me crossways and ye'll answer to him. |
| 90620 I could fry you and your friends a dozen ways. Stay out of the kitchen. |
| 90621 Anythin' else? |
| 90622 What is this place? |
| 90623 How can we get out of here? |
| 90624 That's all. |
| 90625 It's yer world now. Ye sleep in yer bunk, eat what I cook, and fight fer yer life. If ye're good an' lucky, y'might keep it a while. |
| 90626 The kitchen an' banquet hall are mine. Upstairs is the Hunters'. All that goes up there is food and drink and the bloody Nosers. |
| 90627 If y'want to poke about, go see the merchants or the clerics. Better yet, keep to the lounge or trainin' hall. And the arena, of course. |
| 90628 And I'll tell ya this much more: These pits is located somewhere deep inside Thay. Don't ask me t' be more precise. |
| 90629 Anythin' else? |
| 90630 Who are you? |
| 90631 Ye don't, that's how. |
| 90632 Anything else y'want to ask, or can I get back to work now? |
| 90633 I'm busy. What do y'want? |
| 90634 I have some questions. |
| 90635 Tartle's feeding me nothing but rotten food. May I have something to eat? |
| 90636 Make it quick. |
| 90637 Sounds like somethin' the wretched weasel'd do. Here, take this. I'll make sure y'get proper food from now on. I'll not accept anything but the best served 'round here. Could reflect poorly on me skills. |
| 90638 I'll remember this gesture. Bless you. |
| 90639 I should pay you for this. |
| 90640 Glad I could help you preserve your reputation. |
| 90641 Get out. I've work to do. |
| 90642 Stop watching the stew! It'll be ready soon enough. |
| 90643 Out! Out of here, now! |
| 90644 Ye didn't put anything in there, did ye? (The cook dips his spoon in the stew, swirls it around, then brings the spoon to his lips...) |
| 90645 Hmm. That's odd. Tastes a bit like... mushroom. |
| 90646 Come here and taste this! (The cook pushes his spoon towards his bodyguard.) |
| 90647 You're right, boss. It's mushroom. |
| 90648 Marduuk, Short-Order! Did y'try to play chef again? |
| 90649 No, sir. We wouldn't dare. |
| 90650 What's...? M'head... |
| 90651 My throat… I can't swallow! |
| 90652 By the Lords… |
| 90653 My heart… so fast… |
| 90654 (The cook's eyes glaze over. His knees buckle, and he folds upon himself, crumpling to the kitchen floor.) |
| 90655 (Meanwhile, his bodyguard retches once, twice, and finally heaves. But the toxins have done their damage. Before he can straighten, he falls flat on his stomach, next to the cook's outstretched arm.) |
| 90656 The cook and his guard were both allergic to funguswood? Who'd have thought? |
| 90657 You didn't say he'd die, Marduuk! You said he'd just get sick and take to his bed a tenday or two. Gods! What have we done? |
| 90658 You should be happy, Short-Order. You don't have to worry about the cook anymore.You only have to deal with me now. |
| 90659 Fetch Tartle so I can tell him of these unfortunate events. Then get rid of the bodies. In the meantime, I'll get another pot of stew going. |
| 90660 If you say so... |
| 90661 Thank you for your service, <CHARNAME>. Here is your payment. |
| 90662 You and your friends can also count on more generous servings from now on. Maybe even an extra treat once in a while. |
| 90663 Short-Order, why are you still here? Go fetch Tartle already! |
| 90664 It would appear that the cook's true identity is one Geldorf Tinbasher. Skimming through the pages of his personal journal, this entry in particular catches your eye: "...Indeed, my longing for my Agretta has grown unbearable. My loneliness manifests itself as intense anger, expressed as verbal tirades against the underlings assigned to me in the kitchen. Afterwards, I always feel terribleâ€â€they don't deserve the lashings I give them. But I am beside myself with frustration! Woe to Dennaton, and woe to these blasted Thayans!" |
| 90665 The Journal of Geldorf Tinbasher |
| 90666 Uuh… Wha |
| 90667 Shhh! He'll |
| 90668 Hey. No talking to the help. They've pots to clean, ye know. |
| 90669 Later, <PRO_SIRMAAM>… We'll |
| 90670 Quit yammerin' and get back to work. Do y'want to feel me spoon on the back of yer heads again? |
| 90671 Shhh. We can't talk here. |
| 90672 Marduuk… |
| 90673 Shhh. Not now! He's |
| 90674 No talking here! No talking! |
| 90675 The dashing duelist, the persistent pugilist, the gallant gladiator returns! Have you a moment to discuss your latest match? |
| 90676 I would be happy to. |
| 90677 No, but could I ask you a question? |
| 90678 Not now, I must be on my way. |
| 90679 Get away from me, you dusty scribe. |
| 90680 Foolish fighter! You have asked already. You may as well ask another. |
| 90681 What exactly is your role here? |
| 90682 Your voice and manner seem familiar... Have we met before? |
| 90683 Certainly. A learned person such as yourself could help me with a perplexing problem. |
| 90684 I know of someone interested in one of your possessions. |
| 90685 Never mind. I must be going. |
| 90686 My role cannot be related by mere words. I preserve for permanent posterity the power and prestige of the pits' performers. My works will line the shelves of libraries in every city. |
| 90687 My characters and stories will be the talk of nobles and nobodies alike. Barons and barmaids, kings and knaves, lords and lackeysâ€â€all shall cherish my chapters. |
| 90688 You have the distinction of being a part of this timeless tale. Consider well your words and actions before the arena audience. There are others who have the makings of a hero. |
| 90689 Displease the crowd and these others will surely pinch your place as plucky protagonist. |
| 90690 Thanks for the advice. Can I ask you a question? |
| 90691 It takes more than a hero to make a story. I wonder whose tale this really is... |
| 90692 Thanks for the advice. I must be going now. |
| 90693 Become the hero of a story written by you? No thanks. |
| 90694 Ah, a perceptive performer. Your reflections are right, my determined detective. There is more here than meets the eye. Come close and I shall share a secret with you. |
| 90695 Dennaton is not the only one behind these pits. There is another, whose name few will say in a voice above a whisper. I do not speak in whispers, so I'll not say it myself. |
| 90696 Interesting, if not entirely helpful. Can I ask you a question? |
| 90697 Coward. |
| 90698 That was about as useful as I expected, which is to say, not at all. I'll be going now. |
| 90699 No problem can long perplex or puzzle my preponderance of perception. Ask away! |
| 90700 Do you have any advice on how to handle some of the creatures in these pits? |
| 90701 Where in these pits could I get my hands on some poison? |
| 90702 Who makes the best scrolls around here? Magical scrolls, I mean, not the sort you write. |
| 90703 Never mind, I must be going. |
| 90704 Gods! I can't take any more of your nonsensical yammering. Good day! |
| 90705 Indeed I do. My knowledge of monsters is monumental! Listen to my lore and live longer. The umber hulks and mind flayers will try to baffle, befuddle, and bedevil your brain. Protect your mind from them if you can. |
| 90706 Demons and devils have been acquired for the arena. They are enemies in the extremeâ€â€evade them and observe as each eviscerates the other. |
| 90707 Finally, the great golem you face will split at the slightest strike. Don't be surprised to find a gangs of golems where once there was one. |
| 90708 Very helpful. Can I ask you a question? |
| 90709 Many thanks. I must go now. |
| 90710 Thanks for that detailed description of the overwhelmingly obvious. Bloody Hells, now I'm starting to talk like you. |
| 90711 Interest in my items? People peruse my possessions? Do tell! |
| 90712 One of the merchants is interested in a ring you possess. |
| 90713 Never mind, I must be going. |
| 90714 By the gods, your speeches are infuriating! I'm leaving. |
| 90715 Requesting my ring? I may relinquish such regalia... for a reasonable rate. 2,000 gold pieces. |
| 90716 A fair price. |
| 90717 I shall return when I have enough. For now, I bid you farewell. |
| 90718 2,000 gold for THAT piece of tin? You're a better jester than scribe, Stannel Eibor. |
| 90719 And here you go. Accept my accoutrement with avid amiability. |
| 90720 For potent potions, visit the vendor with the miserable myconid. Those are the strongest and the best. |
| 90721 I'll do that. May I ask another question? |
| 90722 Myconids are the giant mushroom men, yes? Thanks for the tip. Now I must go. |
| 90723 I already knew that. Thanks for nothing. |
| 90724 ... |
| 90725 That was rather violent! W-what should we do now? |
| 90726 Follow me outside. I know someone who'll take you to safety. |
| 90727 Stay here for now. I'll make sure the coast is clear. |
| 90728 Special clients only. Move along. |
| 90729 You again! Look, I don't want any trouble. Go on in. |
| 90730 No, no, no! No more, <CHARNAME>! I can stand no more! This is as far as I go! |
| 90731 What? You can't leave now, Edwin. |
| 90732 Don't even THINK of walking away from me, mage. |
| 90733 Fine. I don't need you at the moment anyway. |
| 90734 You may find me at the Copper Coronet... if you are fortunate enough to survive this foolish affair. |
| 90735 Don't even THINK of trying to stop me. But you don't think, do you? Thinking's so very difficult for you! |
| 90736 Don't tell me what I can and cannot do, you wretched baboon! I journey with you only so long as you serve my purposes. My purposes do not include attacking other Thayans or enacting some reckless girl's post-adolescent revenge fantasy! Goodbye! |
| 90737 Who are you? New recruits? Did that greedy little Gul Dukeem finally give in to the mistress's demands and hire some new help? |
| 90738 No, we're |
| 90739 Let me handle this, Neera. I know you're angry, but these people aren't Red Wizards. |
| 90740 We're here to helpâ€â€to help you to an early grave. |
| 90741 Must I remind you who leads this group, Neera? I will do the talking. |
| 90742 Well, out with it! I expect quicker responses than this from my people. |
| 90743 Apologies, milady. What shall I call my new commander? |
| 90744 We're here on Red Wizard business. |
| 90745 We ARE here to helpâ€â€to help you to an early grave. |
| 90746 That's better. I am Fadell. I'd forget your name, so don't botherâ€â€you'll likely die soon anyway. Things are bad around here. I hope you have lodgings elsewhereâ€â€we've no more room here. |
| 90747 You are? Why isn't Gul Dukeem with you? |
| 90748 He's taking care of some business up front. If you want, I can go fetch him. |
| 90749 I have business with the Red Wizard Lanneth. CONFIDENTIAL business. |
| 90750 He's... busy. |
| 90751 Because my business is to kill them. |
| 90752 So busy he'd let heavily-armed strangers roam through the enclave unaccompanied? I don't think so. To arms, everyone! |
| 90753 So be it! |
| 90754 Nay, nay. I was just curious. Things are bad around here, so it's best to be cautious. |
| 90755 I see. Pardon my manners. Things are bad around here. Best to be cautious. |
| 90756 I'm sure you want to know where things are. Slaves' quarters and fighting cage are over there, to the right of where you entered. Barracks are opposite. The Red Wizard lair's in the rooms beyond the bar. If you have any questions, just ask. |
| 90757 I do have some questions, as a matter of fact. |
| 90758 Thank you, Fadell. We'll take a look around. |
| 90759 I suppose that's what I get for being polite. All right. Ask away. |
| 90760 I want you to know that I completely understand your situation here. |
| 90761 You mentioned that things were bad. What did you mean? |
| 90762 Tell me about Mironda. She seems... different. |
| 90763 What can you tell me about the Order? |
| 90764 Tell me more about Gul Dukeem. |
| 90765 I want to know more about Lanneth. |
| 90766 Actually, I'm out of questions. Farewell, Fadell. |
| 90767 What do you mean by that? |
| 90768 You've lost people in battle. The Red Wizards don't pay well, and they don't respect the job you do or the lives of those you've lost. |
| 90769 You're paid a pittance for the work you do, and lost how many people? Why not take up arms against your employers, get what's due, and take your leave? |
| 90770 Just making an observation. Never mind. |
| 90771 Take up arms against Are you mad?! Nay, you're some sort of spy. To arms, to arms! Kill this idiot! |
| 90772 You'll have more losses to regret soon enough, then. So be it! |
| 90773 Sounds like there's been some tongues flapping around here. What you say may be true, but see no reason for you to bring it up. |
| 90774 When Ellis and Warwick died, I heard you had one or two shots of rye. I'd say their memory deserves two more. |
| 90775 We should toast those you've lost. I heard about Stream-Near-The-Hollow, the Northlander. Why not lift a glass of mead in his name? |
| 90776 I heard some men say that when Alinda died at Delosar's, you drank the whole house under the table. We might as well raise a glass or three to her memory again. |
| 90777 It's time to revolt, Fadell. You're risking your lives, sometimes losing them, and getting a pittance for doing so. Why not take up arms against your employers, get what's due, and take your leave? |
| 90778 Just making an observation. Never mind. |
| 90779 Nay, friend. I'm too deep in my cups as it is. Besides, my grief's my own; there's no sense sharing it with others. Farewell now. |
| 90780 A sweet boy, he was. A bard before he became a sellsword, too; could he pen a tale! Very well, I'll drink to him... |
| 90781 That was some good mead! I feel half a Northlander myself now. |
| 90782 I heard some men say that when Alinda died at Delosar's, you drank the whole house under the table. We might as well raise a glass or three to her memory again. |
| 90783 What about Ellis and Warwick? I'd say their memory deserves two shots of rye at the very least. |
| 90784 Then ask yourself: Would a Northlander put up with this? You're paid next to nothing for the work you do. Why not take up arms against your employers, get what's due, and take your leave? |
| 90785 Me too! I feel an epic struggle with sleep coming on... Farewell, Fadell. |
| 90786 Indeed, indeed! They were a handsome pair. Were just scraping up enough to get a place near the Copper Coronet. You have the right of it. Or the RYE of it, should I say? |
| 90787 Good stuff, that! Those boys knew good drink. Good, good, good. |
| 90788 You know, I heard some men say that when Alinda died at Delosar's, you drank the whole house under the table. We might as well raise a glass or three to her memory. |
| 90789 Good indeed. Now listen to me, Fadell: It's time for a revolt. You risk your lives and get paid a pittance for doing so. You ought to take up arms against your employers, get what's due, and take your leave. |
| 90790 Aye, that's the stuff. What's bitter on the tongue is sweet on the memory, isn't it? Well, I'd best be off... Farewell, Fadell. |
| 90791 Right you are! It'll be a veritable massacre of drink, one to rival the massacre at Delosar's! By Tempus, I wish the ones who did that were here. Then we'd see a REAL m-massacre. |
| 90792 Be careful what you wish for. Bottoms up! |
| 90793 That... that's enough... So many. So many lost. All dead... No more to drink. What did you... water this down with? Scotch? Okay. |
| 90794 It doesn't have to be that way, Fadell. You can walk out of here, your men and women with you. Take up arms, get what's due from the Red Wizards, and leave. |
| 90795 Sorry to have made you so miserable. I'll take my leave of you now. |
| 90796 That's a terrible plan. Just terrible... Almost as bad as working for these weasels. Hehe... he... Perhaps... perhaps you're right. |
| 90797 Just that we're getting paid next to nothing for the work we do. I probably shouldn't say so, but the drink makes my tongue a little loose. |
| 90798 Ah. Perhaps I'll change the subject, then. I had some other questions. |
| 90799 Oh. Well, thank you for sharing, but I should be off. |
| 90800 She's a wild mage. The Order'd have her in captivity, but my men begged Lanneth to let her become the bar slave instead. I was surprised when she gave in. |
| 90801 I see. Can I ask you something else? |
| 90802 Interesting. Farewell, Fadell. |
| 90803 They collect wild mages. We help them. What they do with them I don't rightly know and probably don't want to find out. Lanneth is in charge, but a woman back in Thay named Vicross really runs the show. Don't know anything about her besides the name, though. |
| 90804 Very interesting. Can I ask you something else? |
| 90805 Good to know. Farewell, Fadell. |
| 90806 The higher-ups in Thay gave him permission to establish the enclave a while back. But he had to negotiate with the Cowled Wizards a long, long time before it happened. It annoyed him when the Order installed themselves here. He wanted to rule his own little merchant kingdomâ€â€now he's just Lanneth's steward and bookkeeper. |
| 90807 That explains a lot. Can I ask you something else? |
| 90808 That's revealing. Farewell, Fadell. |
| 90809 She's the queen. We do what she says. She's a harsh mistress, and she doesn't think much of us mercenariesâ€â€or anybody, it seems. |
| 90810 I gathered as much. Can I ask you something else? |
| 90811 That's my impression of her, too. Thanks, Fadell, and farewell. |
| 90812 Perhaps... perhaps you're right. Revo-olt... |
| 90813 You again. What is it? |
| 90814 I had some questions for you. |
| 90815 Nothing, sorry to disturb you. Farewell. |
| 90816 We've seen enough of this place. Your life ends here, sellsword scum. |
| 90817 So I kicked him in the head till he was dead! |
| 90818 I feel like a tune. Anyone know "The Landlord's Daughter"? |
| 90819 Halflings aren't much for a stand-up fight; their standing up is our sitting! |
| 90820 We risk our hides, and the wizards risk their robes. It ain't right. |
| 90821 This ale's been watered down, or I'm a xvart. |
| 90822 Play cards? Not on yer life. I've barely enough money to keep myself from starving. |
| 90823 ...And THAT is how I got me first horse. |
| 90824 How many you think we'll lose when the next one surges? |
| 90825 It's too bad he's dead. The results he was producing were quite interesting. |
| 90826 Did you hear? Vicross is coming west soon. |
| 90827 I should be pursuing my research, not chaperoning these insipid mercenaries... |
| 90828 Glory and golden flagons, ye're here! Sorry I'm talkin' so low; don't want the others to know... WHAT'LL IT BE, THEN? NEVER HEARD OF IT! TELL ME HOW TO MAKE IT... That should buy us a second or two. |
| 90829 Mironda! You're alive. Where are the others?! Are they alive too? |
| 90830 Hush, dearie. I don't rightly know if they're still breathin'; I got lucky and was made into a slave, ye see. |
| 90831 We can't talk longâ€â€the wizards'll get suspicious. Make it quick as a shot o' firewine. |
| 90832 It's good to see you too, Mironda. How did you survive? |
| 90833 Anything important I should know? |
| 90834 I need to get these mercenaries good and drunk. Can I buy a round for the bar? |
| 90835 Maybe it'd be best if we didn't speak at all. Farewell! |
| 90836 Remember that cask of Halfling's Help? When they captured me, I insisted I bring it. I said, "If I'm going to my grave, I want me husband beside me," and they laughed and said I was a good sort. Begged the witch to let me man the bar, on account of their wages gettin' cut. She relented at last. |
| 90837 Anything important I should know? |
| 90838 I need to get these mercenaries good and drunk. Can I buy a round for the bar? |
| 90839 I see. I may be back, Mironda. Take care. |
| 90840 This place is teetering on a knife's edge. The mercenaries are underpaid, there's strong slaves itching to fight their way free, and the Order is blind to it all. I don't know how ye managed to get in here, but I KNOW ye can get us out. A nudge in the right place will do it. |
| 90841 So glad you're alive, Mironda. How did you manage that? |
| 90842 I need to get these mercenaries good and drunk. Can I buy a round for the bar? |
| 90843 I see. I may be back, Mironda. Take care. |
| 90844 Sure can. I'll have to take yer money so things look proper. I'd say about three more rounds would do 'em. 50 gold a round. Ye've met Fadell? They're loyal to her. Might take some extra coaxing to get her to turn, but she's the most unhappy of 'em all. |
| 90845 Here's 50 for the first round then. |
| 90846 Fifty? I'll see what I can do. |
| 90847 Hear ye, hear ye! This one's glad to be in the company of fine folks like yerselvesâ€â€<PRO_HESHE> just bought ye a round of the house's finest! |
| 90848 Hurrah! |
| 90849 That's a right noble <PRO_LADYLORD>. Ha! |
| 90850 Cheers, ladies and gents! |
| 90851 They'll be on their way after I serve 'em this. Another two rounds will doâ€â€speak to me in a bit. |
| 90852 Ye're back! Make it fast. |
| 90853 Can I buy a round for the mercenaries? |
| 90854 Just checking in on you. I'll be back. |
| 90855 Yes, ye can. 50 gold pieces. |
| 90856 No problem. |
| 90857 Actually, I've changed my mind. Farewell. |
| 90858 They liked that, as well they might; there's nothin' like free spirits! HA! Now there's a phrase with two meanings. |
| 90859 I think that last round did the trick. They're plenty riled up now. |
| 90860 Ye did it! I knew ye could. Thank ye kindly; I trust ye'll do well by whoever's left, too. Oh! Before I forget, here's yer money. 150 gold pieces. I'm off! |
| 90861 I was hopin' ye'd say that. It'll be nice to see that little clearing again, scorched though it may be. Farewell! |
| 90862 Glad I could help. Telana's at the camp, waiting for you. |
| 90863 Farewell. |
| 90864 Greetin's. *Achoo!* *sniff* How may I... W-wait a second. Do I know you? |
| 90865 Bellowgulp! It's me, <CHARNAME>! What are you doing here? |
| 90866 I'm not really sure. Who are you? |
| 90867 Great. The deranged gnome and his pet mushroom. What's your name again? Buttgoop? |
| 90868 *Achoo!* Bellowgulp Bluefingers is my name, and this here is the Concocter. We were imprisoned with you in Baeloth's Pits. |
| 90869 We set up shop brewin' potions, just like always. *Achoo!* Potions to make ya stronger, quicker, and smarter. We even have potions to catch the eye of the ladies or the gentlemen! |
| 90870 Quite a sales pitch. I'll have a look. |
| 90871 Maybe later, Bellowgulp. I need to be off. |
| 90872 May I ask you a few questions? |
| 90873 I'll not buy potions made by an oversized toadstool. |
| 90874 Bellowgulp Bluefingers. There's no call to be rude. |
| 90875 ... |
| 90876 Hah! Couldn't have said it better myself, Concocter, though I doubt even a troll would birth somethin' as rude as THIS performer. Now listen, you. You'd best be polite to us merchants or you'll never get the gear you'll need to survive. *Achoo!* |
| 90877 Sorry, Bellowgulp. I was trying to make a joke, but... Well, let's change the subject. |
| 90878 I'm sorry. I'll leave you be. |
| 90879 As if I'd need your impotent brews. |
| 90880 Fine! Insult us! You'll come back, and when ya do, don't be surprised when the Concocter spits in your potions! |
| 90881 Th-this is what you call s-safety? I... I won't... I won't stay with you folk! I've had enough of this. From the moment you stepped into my life, I've seen nothing but horrific bloodshed! |
| 90882 Fine. I'll spit in the potions meself, then. Now goodbye! *Achoo!* |
| 90883 Come back if you need potions of any sort. *Achoo!* |
| 90884 I'm always happy to reminisce with an old friend such as yerself. *Achoo!* |
| 90885 What's with the sneezing? |
| 90886 How'd you end up here? |
| 90887 Why does the cook keep looking at the Concocter that way? |
| 90888 May I see your wares? |
| 90889 Never mind. I must be leaving. |
| 90890 Oh, that. Well, as you may remember from our meetin' in Baeloth's pit, the Concocter communicates by releasin' spores. It seems I've developed an allergy to *achoo!* them. *Achoo!* |
| 90891 That's... awkward. Let's speak of something else. |
| 90892 Yeah, I'll just be going now. |
| 90893 That's hilarious! You deserve it for having such a creepy friend. |
| 90894 That's quite a tale! The Concocter and I were searchin' for gems and potion ingredients near the Underdark city of Blingdenstone. Suddenly, that winged thing's hunters surrounded us. Still makes me shudder. *Achoo!* |
| 90895 One of 'em, a wretched half-elf known as Joker, struck the Concocter on the back o' the stem and injured 'im. *Achoo!* I leapt to my friend's defense. My svirfneblin rage forced the hunters to take us alive. *Achoo!* |
| 90896 What do ya mean, "Tell them the real story?" That WAS the real story! *Achoo!* |
| 90897 Fine, maybe I embellished a little. You can hardly blame me. Our capture was far from dignified. When Joker injured the Concocter, he emitted a piteous spore-scream. |
| 90898 When the spores reached my nose, I started sneezin' uncontrollably. I sneezed so hard I did a full backflip and landed face down on top of the Concocter. The hunters thought it was so funny they decided to keep us alive and bring us here. *Achoo!* |
| 90899 At least they let you live. I'd like to see your wares now, if I may. |
| 90900 Better alive than dead, I suppose. I'll be going now. |
| 90901 Let's discuss something else. |
| 90902 A cowardly myconid and an acrobatic svirfneblin? You two should be in a circus. |
| 90903 That wretched dwarf! When Joker injured the Concocter, she kept the piece o' stem she cut off and gave it to the cook! *Achoo!* That lunatic made stew out of it and thought it tasted fantastic. |
| 90904 Yes, yes. I know you're very proud of how good you taste. Stop *Achoo!* interruptin'! |
| 90905 Anyway, the cook liked the stew so much he's been tryin' to convince Dennaton to let him cook the rest of the Concocter ever since. Wretched dwarf! *Achoo!* |
| 90906 Disgusting... Ah, well. Let's see your wares. |
| 90907 At least he hasn't succeeded yet. I must be going now. |
| 90908 Perhaps we could discuss something else. ANYthing else. |
| 90909 Myconid stew. Sounds like a treat. |
| 90910 May I ask you some questions? |
| 90911 I was wondering if I could have a piece of the Concocter for the cook's stew. |
| 90912 Do you think the Concocter could make something... special for me? |
| 90913 I have a potion of barkskin. Could you make it into powdered funguswood? |
| 90914 O' course! Ask away! |
| 90915 Why does the cook keep looking at the Concocter that way? |
| 90916 Don't you think Dennaton should be compensating you for your services? |
| 90917 Perhaps. What would be the purpose of this "somethin' special"? |
| 90918 I need some powdered funguswood. |
| 90919 I'm trying to poison Joker. |
| 90920 I need something to stabilize Dulf Ebonbeard's mind. |
| 90921 On second thought, I changed my mind. I must be going. |
| 90922 Pretty nosy for a gnome. Forget it. You Underdark types make me nervous. |
| 90923 The Concocter says it'll be hard to get. It won't come cheap. It'll cost 750 gold pieces and require a potion of barkskin. *Achoo!* |
| 90924 I'll return when I have the potion and the gold. |
| 90925 Potion of barkskin? Where can I find that? |
| 90926 I have a potion of barkskin right here. |
| 90927 The potion-maker needs a potion? That doesn't speak highly of your skills, does it? |
| 90928 I've seen some around. One of the other merchants, or maybe the priests, might have a bottle or two. |
| 90929 What you need is the salve of senile serenity. The Concoctor can brew one for only 100 gold pieces. |
| 90930 Very well, here you go. |
| 90931 I don't have that much gold at the moment. I'll have to return later. |
| 90932 On second thought, I changed my mind. I must be going. |
| 90933 100 gold pieces? YOU're senile if you think I'm spending that much on your stupid salve! |
| 90934 Maybe you're right. *Achoo!* We do provide the finest potions in all Faerûn. I'll take the matter up with him. |
| 90935 Oh, I don't know. We're captives here, after all. I don't want to anger Dennaton. |
| 90936 750 gold pieces, please. |
| 90937 Here you go. |
| 90938 If I told you it was to poison the cook, would you do it for free? |
| 90939 You've been drinking too many of your own potions if you think I'm paying that much. |
| 90940 *Achoo!* The Concocter says it would be a pleasure. Keep your gold and get that crazy dwarf. Here you go. |
| 90941 WHAT? The Concocter is not just a walkin' ingredient for the cook's stewpot! He's a close personal friend an' a master of potion-makin'! *Achoo!* |
| 90942 Maybe if the cook had a little more, he'd stop trying to get ALL the Concocter. |
| 90943 I'll give you 1,000 gold pieces... |
| 90944 My apologies, Bellowgulp. Just a little joke. I'll be going now. |
| 90945 C'mon, Bellowgulp, you can't tell me you've never wanted just a nibble. |
| 90946 Absolutely not. That dwarf is mad, and he's not getting even a piece of my good friend! *Achoo!* |
| 90947 Hmm... You make a good point. Perhaps it would keep that crazy dwarf away from my friend here. What do you think, Concocter? It will grow back in a few days anyway, will it not? |
| 90948 Very well. It is agreed. Now bend over, Concocter. This won't hurt a bit. Just a quick cut and THERE! Got it. Here you go. And tell that lunatic dwarf to stay away from the Concocter from now on. *Achoo!* |
| 90949 Gems and jewels! I mean, that is a generous offer. What do you think, Concocter? We could buy a significant number of reagents with that. And you'd regenerate in a few days anyway, wouldn't you? |
| 90950 Very well. It is agreed. Bend over, Concocterâ€â€this won't hurt a bit. Just a quick cut and THERE! Got it. Here you go. Now tell that lunatic dwarf to keep away from us from now on. *Achoo!* |
| 90951 *Achoo!* The Concocter is happy to help. We've been working on a special poison for just such a purpose ever since that nasty half-elf attacked us. Very potent. I think it's around here somewhere... Here it is. |
| 90952 Bellowgulp and the Concocter told me that Joker injured the Concocter when she captured them. |
| 90953 I have convinced Bellowgulp that he should be compensated for selling potions to the performers. |
| 90954 I have acquired some poison from Bellowgulp and the Concocter to use on Joker. They said they have been working on it awhile and indicated it was very potent. |
| 90955 Bellowgulp and the Concoctor mentioned that the cook keeps trying to cook the Concocter. |
| 90956 Too Many Cooks I've acquired some powdered funguswood from Bellowgulp and the Concocter. |
| 90957 I have acquired a piece of the Concocter from Bellowgulp. |
| 90958 I have acquired a salve of senile serenity from Bellowgulp and the Concocter. |

| 90975 Oh, hello there, <CHARNAME>. If you're looking for Tartle, he's normally in the merchant area. |
| 90976 I actually came to talk to you. |
| 90977 Thanks. I'll look for him there. |
| 90978 Me? What for? Tartle's the one in charge. |
| 90979 What is it you do around here exactly? |
| 90980 I'd like some information on the people who run this place. |
| 90981 Then perhaps I'll seek him out after all. Please excuse me. |
| 90982 Tartle likes to call it "grunt work." Basically, that's everything required to actually run the placeâ€â€track the inventory, order supplies, arrange for the performer housing, see that their quarters are cleaned when they're killed, um, I mean, their services are no longer required. Also manage the guards, keep the cooks from killing each other... That sort of thing. |
| 90983 Sounds like you might have some good information on the people running this place. |
| 90984 You're a slave, in other words. Help me plot a rebellion. |
| 90985 I need to set up a meeting with the guard lieutenant you know. |
| 90986 I've been thinking about your rebelling idea. I'm in. |
| 90987 I need to go. Please excuse me. |
| 90988 Who're you talkin' about? |
| 90989 Tartle. |
| 90990 Dennaton. |
| 90991 Dennaton's mercenaries. |
| 90992 I prefer not to think of my cousin. He takes every opportunity to run me down. I'm sick of it! |
| 90993 Why does he treat you so poorly? |
| 90994 How'd he get to be in charge? |
| 90995 What of Dennaton? |
| 90996 What about that band of mercenaries? |
| 90997 I need to go. Please excuse me. |
| 90998 He's an insecure runt, and for a good reason. He'd be nothing without me, and he knows it. He hasn't the interest or the discipline to properly run this place. |
| 90999 Runt? But you're a halfling too! |
| 91000 So how'd he get to be in charge, then? |
| 91001 Do you have time for more questions? |
| 91002 You think all halflings are "runts"? You're wrong. All halflings are short, but there are runts even by halfling standards. Tartle's a full half-inch shorter than I am. Ever since we were children in Luiren, everyone made fun of him for being so short. Maybe that's why he's so intent on showing people what a "big man" he is now. |
| 91003 So, how'd he get to be in charge, then? |
| 91004 A combination of bootlicking and backstabbing. Those qualities make him the perfect tool for Dennaton, luckily for him. He wouldn't last past the arena's introductory speeches otherwise. |
| 91005 So you two are slaves as well? |
| 91006 Oh, yes. Don't let Tartle's arrogance fool you. He's in chains, same as we are. Not that he's without influence. His lips are so firmly affixed to Dennaton's backside that he generally gets his way. And he can certainly make life miserable for those he has it out for. I wouldn't cross him if I were you. |
| 91007 Why does he treat you so poorly? |
| 91008 His word here is law. Cross him and your life will be very uncomfortable... or more likely, very short. |
| 91009 Yes, but who is he and where does he come from? |
| 91010 And Tartle? |
| 91011 I don't know much about him. Dennaton doesn't enter the performers' quarters often. Tartle's just about the only one with access to him. |
| 91012 He's a Red Wizard, I know that, and I gather he's somewhat influential in Thay. He has a VERY powerful backer, but I've no idea whoâ€â€or whatâ€â€that might be. |
| 91013 The Planar Hunters. They're the metaphorical sword in Dennaton's iron fist. Don't get me wrong. Dennaton's a competent wizard, but he'd have no chance of controlling the monsters and gladiators he brings here without the Hunters. But I've said too much already. Let's move on. |
| 91014 I'm gonna forget I heard that. And if you're smart, you'll forget you said it. Dennaton has eyes and ears everywhere. Watch yourself. |
| 91015 What is it you do around here exactly? |
| 91016 Tell me about the people who run this place. |
| 91017 Certainly. |
| 91018 What is it you do around here exactly? |
| 91019 I'd like to know about the people who run this place. |
| 91020 You're a slave, in other words. Help me plot a rebellion. |
| 91021 I need you to set up a meeting with the guard lieutenant you're friends with. |
| 91022 I've considered your idea for a rebellion. I'm in. |
| 91023 What do we need to do for a rebellion to work? |
| 91024 Not at the moment. Please excuse me. |
| 91025 Hello again, <CHARNAME>. How may I help you? |
| 91026 Psst! You asked earlier about plotting a rebellion. It got me thinking. It'd be tricky, but based on what you've shown thus far in the arena, you might just be able to pull it off. |
| 91027 I'm interested. Go on. |
| 91028 How do I know you aren't setting me up? |
| 91029 I'm really not interested anymore. |
| 91030 Psst, <CHARNAME>. I want to ask you about something. We've all heard how you vanquished Baeloth and won your freedom. I admit I doubted it before. But your arena success makes me think the legend might actually be true. Are you interested in attaining your freedom once more? |
| 91031 Sure. |
| 91032 What's in it for you? |
| 91033 I was at first, but I've changed my mind. This place isn't so bad. There's a... clarity here that's very attractive to me. |
| 91034 Great! Then we're a team, on one condition. Tartle must not be harmed. |
| 91035 You'd protect your cousin, even after all he's done to you? |
| 91036 It's a deal. Now what do we do? |
| 91037 Sorry, but I can't promise that. |
| 91038 He's still family. I need your assurance that no harm will come to him. |
| 91039 It's a deal. Now what do we do? |
| 91040 Sorry. I can't make that promise. |
| 91041 Uh, MY freedom when you overthrow Dennaton? There's something I need to find on the outside, but I need to GET outside first. But that's none of your concern. Are you interested? |
| 91042 Any rebellion will have to face Dennaton himself, his Planar Hunters, and the guards. Dennaton'll have to be killed, I fearâ€â€he's too invested in this place to let it go willingly. But we may be able to peel away his support. |
| 91043 I'm friendly with most of the guards. That doesn't mean they'll just lay down their arms for me, of course, but I CAN get you a meeting with one of the lieutenants. Convince him to support the rebellion and his subordinates will too. That'll take a very smooth tongue or more coin than Dennaton's paying to keep them loyal. |
| 91044 As for the Planar Hunters, the Winged is loyal to Dennaton despite all her grumbling. And she has a tight grip on her people. It'd be best to deal with them before an uprising begins. I've no solid idea how you'd do that, but I've an inkling where you might start. |
| 91045 The Hunters' quarters are upstairs. I've never been allowed up myself, but the first step is getting to the stairway. Unfortunately, the only way through is to knock and then convince the guard that opens the eye slit to let you through. Not easy. The only ones they ever let through are the Nosers. |
| 91046 Nosers? |
| 91047 No one else is allowed through? Really? |
| 91048 The Nosers are the Planar Hunters' slaves. Tartle hates them because he has no control over them, and they all know it. He thinks they look down their noses at himâ€â€that's how they got the nickname. They're easy to distinguish from the other slaves. They wear bright-colored outfits that let the door guard differentiate them from others in the gloom. |
| 91049 Right, so absolutely no one else is allowed through? |
| 91050 Go on. |
| 91051 Actually, that's not true. My cousin, Tartle, is allowed through. He has his own key, so he doesn't have to knock. He's the only one other than the Nosers. |
| 91052 Who are the Nosers? |
| 91053 Once you're on the stairs, be careful. Word is the way up is littered with traps of all kinds. Only the very craftyâ€â€or very luckyâ€â€will get through unscathed. After that, you'll need to live on your own wits. |
| 91054 I'll need you to set up a meeting with the guard lieutenant you know. |
| 91055 If I'm to battle the Planar Hunters, I'll need everything you know about them. |
| 91056 Thanks. But I need to talk about other things. |
| 91057 Right, I'll get started then. Please excuse me. |
| 91058 Discretion is called for. I'll bide my time until the right opportunity presents itself, then let you know when everything's set up. Until then, go about your business normally. |
| 91059 All right. In the meantime, I need as much information as you've got on the Planar Hunters. |
| 91060 Thanks, but there are other things I need to know. |
| 91061 Right. I'll get started then. |
| 91062 The Winged's band has six members: Dormamus, Thassk Kun, Pol Pyrrus, Joker, Bannor Kaxazel, and the Winged herself. |
| 91063 Tell me about the Winged. |
| 91064 What do you know about Dormamus? |
| 91065 Thassk Kun. What can you tell me about him? |
| 91066 Give me everything you know about Pol Pyrrus. |
| 91067 Joker's the bard, yes? Tell me about her. |
| 91068 Bannor Kaxazel. What's his story? |
| 91069 Forget the Hunters. There's something else I want to know about. |
| 91070 The Winged is the most guarded of the group. She rarely speaks to anyone except Dennaton and her crew. I know she's a veteran of the infamous Blood War and was involved in some of its heaviest fighting. She's incredibly disciplined and extremely dangerous. |
| 91071 And Dormamus? |
| 91072 And Thassk Kun? |
| 91073 And Pol Pyrrus? |
| 91074 And Joker? |
| 91075 And Bannor Kaxazel? |
| 91076 Let's talk now about something else. |
| 91077 And the Winged? |
| 91078 An irredeemably vile creature. Dormamus, or the Grand Vizier of the Thayan Pits, as he makes us call him, is an efreeti. He's the sort of person who enjoys his job so much he never has to work. He's capricious, cruel, and in love with the money and power that comes from subduing and imprisoning others. |
| 91079 Thassk Kun and Pol Pyrrus despise each other. I gather they were on opposite sides of a war several years ago. Pyrrus delights in reminding Thassk who was on the losing side. Thassk has some dirt on Pyrrus. I'm not sure what it is, but I've seen Thassk spin Pyrrus around to the point of spitting blood. Thassk is a fire salamander, by the way. |
| 91080 Pyrrus is a Red Wizard and a fanatical adherent to Kossuth. He and Thassk Kun positively HATE each other. From what I gather, they were on opposite sides of a war several years ago. Pyrrus never misses an opportunity to remind Thassk he was on the losing side. But Thassk has some dirt on Pyrrus. I'm not sure what it is, but I've seen Thassk spin Pyrrus around to the point of spitting blood. |
| 91081 Ah, Joker. The most mercurial of the bunch, and also the friendliest. She slums around down here every so often. She loves to drink and is always looking for new and exotic ales. Her love of drinking has given her common cause with Voghiln. I've seen the two of them together quite a bit. |
| 91082 One word: odd. He's an adamantine golem with a mind of his own. Rumor has it he was once a supremely powerful wizard who cheated death by installing his mind in the golem's body as his own lay dying. If it's true, most of his powers were lost in the transition. Now he just smashes things, as you'd expect from an adamantine golem. |
| 91083 Well, as I said, Thassk Kun and Pol Pyrrus HATE each other. Beyond that, Thassk is a fire salamander. |
| 91084 Well, as I said, Pol Pyrrus and Thassk Kun HATE each other. Beyond that, Pyrrus is a Red Wizard and fanatical adherent to Kossuth. |
| 91085 You don't. And I don't know of any reasonable way to prove myself to you. At the same time, you have no way to prove YOU weren't setting ME up when you asked last time. I wouldn't put that past Dennaton, but chances for freedom are few and far between down here. Are you in? |
| 91086 A shame. Well, I'm clearly going nowhere soon. Seek me out if you change your mind. |
| 91087 I still want to talk to you. |
| 91088 I'll keep it in mind. Excuse me. |
| 91089 You don't. The alternative is fighting until you die in the pits. Now are you in? |
| 91090 I encountered an old acquaintance, the half-orc Dorn Il-Khan, lurking outside Athkatla's Temple of the Radiant Heart this <DAYNIGHTALL>. His intent was clearly sinister. Whatever he plans, I want nothing to do with it. |
| 91091 I encountered a sinister half-orc named Dorn Il-Khan this <DAYNIGHTALL>, lurking round the Temple of the Radiant Heart. I know not what he has planned, and in truth I do not want to know. |
| 91092 I encountered Dorn Il-Khan this <DAYNIGHTALL>. The sinister half-orc was lurking round the Temple of the Radiant Heart, waiting for an opportunity to slay a priest named Bollard Firejaw. Dorn's power would make him a valuable allyâ€â€I believe I shall assist him in this endeavor. |
| 91093 I ran into my old acquaintance, the half-orc Dorn Il-Khan, lurking outside Athkatla's Temple of the Radiant Heart this <DAYNIGHTALL>. He tells me his patron has bid him slay a priest named Bollard Firejaw. Sounds like a good time to me. |
| 91094 Yes, <PRO_SIRMAAM>? Can I help you? |
| 91095 Very good. |
| 91096 Ah! Greetings, greetings! What good fortune brings you to my humble shrine? |
| 91097 Help! Help me, someone! |
| 91098 It's good to see someone happy in this place. |
| 91099 Oh. Well, if it turns out there is something I can do, please don't hesitate to let me know. |
| 91100 You've a bizarre view of what constitutes good fortune, friend. |
| 91101 I'm fine, thanks. |
| 91102 Tell me what you do here, halfling, or I'll cut you into a pair of quarterlings! |
| 91103 I'm afraid the help I need is far beyond your meager capacity. |
| 91104 Well, you know what they say. Fortune favors the bold. Well, the performers who live say that. The rest just sort of lie on the ground gasping for air until the monsters finish them off. |
| 91105 You can die, dog! |
| 91106 You really aren't helping. |
| 91107 Fortune favors no one. It's one of fortune's greatest failings. |
| 91108 Are you trying to cheer me up? If so, try harder. |
| 91109 Oh yes, oh my! I have forgotten myself, haven't I? |
| 91110 Math humor, nice. But I'd save that antagonism for the arena if I were you. |
| 91111 I am Molzahn, priest of Tymora. I provide healing, temple services, and spiritual guidance to our performers. I also keep the ceremonial ale and TRY to keep the other priests from killing each other. |
| 91112 Healing! Just the person I was looking for. |
| 91113 Can I see your temple services? |
| 91114 May I ask you a few questions? |
| 91115 I must be going. |
| 91116 If it weren't for the guards, they'd have destroyed the entire shrine by now. |
| 91117 Sounds like you don't care for them. |
| 91118 I'm sorry to hear it. Let's talk about something else. |
| 91119 Stop! Cease this madness! |
| 91120 The madness ends with your death, Firejaw! Not a second sooner. |
| 91121 You're really enjoying this, aren't you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 91122 You're a halfling? More like a halfwit. Are you done talking yet? |
| 91123 Individually, Laris and Curell aren't so bad. But put them together and it's like throwing beet juice on an owlbear. |
| 91124 Defiler! Kill them! |
| 91125 Beet juice on an owlbear? |
| 91126 Can we talk about something else? |
| 91127 Everyone stand aside. I shall deal with this malefactor. |
| 91128 Very well. |
| 91129 I'm leaving before I end up as crazy as you are! |
| 91130 Yes! This is lunacy! Poor, poor Colinâ€â€you were too beautiful for this oh so cruel world. |
| 91131 Trust me. It's not pretty. |
| 91132 We're just getting started, priest. |
| 91133 Understood. Let's talk of other things. |
| 91134 After dispatching Bollard Firejaw, Dorn demanded everyone in the temple be slain. A grim bit of business, especially for the groom. |
| 91135 I'll take your word for it. Farewell. |
| 91136 After dispatching Bollard Firejaw, Dorn demanded everyone in the temple be slain. I convinced him to let those who'd survived so far live, which might not have been the wisest course. Dorn will surely be identified as the culprit, and unwanted attention from the authorities may well result. |
| 91137 Anything for our bold performers! |
| 91138 Why, yes! Here is our inventory. |
| 91139 The pit wears on even the most optimistic disposition. Tell me what is troubling you. |
| 91140 I just recently escaped from a similar fighting arena. Now I'm back in slavery again. |
| 91141 I want to become the most profitable performer in the arena. |
| 91142 This captivity is driving me mad. I intend to escape at the earliest opportunity. |
| 91143 Dorn turned the Temple of the Radiant Heart into a charnel house. The half-orc's bloodlust is seemingly without limit. I cannot risk keeping him aroundâ€â€he can bring me nothing but trouble. |
| 91144 I was captured. Most around here were. Such is life. Misfortune merely accentuates greater good fortune for those intrepid enough to take it. |
| 91145 An encouraging attitude. Tell me more of your capture. |
| 91146 Dorn and I turned the Temple of the Radiant Heart into a bloody slaughterhouse. If this sort of thing is typical of him, then he is my type of malefactor. |
| 91147 I would like to talk about something else. |
| 91148 Pfft. The pathetic excuse of a failed priest out of his goddess's favor. |
| 91149 I am certainly done talking to you. |
| 91150 It was that Joker. You know, the half-elf drunkard who can't get enough of her own voice? |
| 91151 Not your favorite person, I take it? |
| 91152 Go on. |
| 91153 This is clearly a sore topic for you. Let's talk of something else. |
| 91154 You accuse another of liking their own voice. That's rich. |
| 91155 Picked up on that, did you? |
| 91156 My adventuring company and I were hired to investigate turnip bandits plaguing the trade ways around Baldur's Gate. |
| 91157 Turnip bandits? That sounds serious. |
| 91158 I would like to talk about something else. |
| 91159 Enough! Cease your incessant yammering! |
| 91160 Not every problem involves dragons or evil wizards trying to conquer all Faerûn. |
| 91161 We were at an inn for the night when I noticed a half-elf so drunk she could barely stand. "Tymora smiles upon me," I thought. I challenged her to a game of bones and won a sizable amount of gold. She was none too pleased. |
| 91162 I wouldn't think so. Go on. |
| 91163 This is clearly a touchy subject for you. Let's talk about something else. |
| 91164 By the gods, stop. I'm growing more stupid with every word. |
| 91165 Next thing I knew, hands of iron lifted me from my chair, stuffed me in a sack, and beat me senseless. I awoke in a room behind this shrine. That pompous arse, Tartle, soon informed me I was the new resident priest of Tymora. |
| 91166 Power is the goal. But in this world, violence is the only way to attain and keep it. I embrace that realityâ€â€I revel in it. You should do the same. |
| 91167 What happened to the old one? |
| 91168 I cannot. |
| 91169 An entertaining yarn. May I see your other services now? |
| 91170 I'm afraid I don't share your taste for the beating hearts of my enemies. |
| 91171 Are you finally finished? |
| 91172 Watch me carefully, Dorn. You might learn a thing or two about reveling in bloodshed. |
| 91173 Depends on whom you ask. Either he fell into a wyvern cage and got eaten or he was pushed into a wyvern cage and got eaten. |
| 91174 Huh... All right. Can I see the other temple services? |
| 91175 I thought Tymora was the goddess of luck. |
| 91176 Then you're of no use to me. Begone! |
| 91177 And with that, I left. |
| 91178 You're on a dark path, Dorn. I hope you see the light soon. Goodbye. |
| 91179 With any luck, you won't be far behind so we can have some peace and quiet. |
| 91180 If that's how you're going to be, I'll be more like you. Let's go kill a paladin. |
| 91181 Bad luck and good luck are a matter of perspective. Just ask the wyvern. |
| 91182 I go where I will, Dorn Il-Khan. You don't command me. |
| 91183 I'd rather not. |
| 91184 You're more ridiculous than a greased gnome on a steep incline! |
| 91185 As day follows night, so good fortune follows ill. Look within yourself. See what it is you desire, then boldly stride forth and claim it. Do this and Tymora's grace will shine down upon you. |
| 91186 Keep on joking. I'll put my boot so far up your arse you'll taste my sole! |
| 91187 I'll give it a shot. In the meantime, I have need of other services. |
| 91188 Thank you. I'll be going now. |
| 91189 Tymora's favor doesn't seem to have done much for you. |
| 91190 You are most welcome. |
| 91191 Good! Be brave! Take risks. Surprise your opponents with daring and audacity, and Tymora will smile upon you. |
| 91192 I'll do that. May I see your other services? |
| 91193 Lower your voice! We all want to escapeâ€â€but we must move with care. You no doubt know the power of Dennaton's hunters. |
| 91194 There'll be no escape while they're around. But if you are bold and your heart brave, Tymora will favor you. |
| 91195 Ask away! |
| 91196 The last few days have been overwhelming. Can you help me make sense of it all? |
| 91197 What's a halfling priest of Tymora doing in a Thayan gladiator arena? |
| 91198 You mentioned the other two priests often fight. Isn't that a little unusual? |
| 91199 Never mind, I was just leaving. |
| 91200 Ceremonial Ale |
| 91201 You acquired this fine ale from Molzahn, the halfling cleric of Tymora. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 91202 Now you're talking like someone worthy to stand at my side. |
| 91203 Then decide, <CHARNAME>. Are you with me or not? |
| 91204 I'm with you, for now. Don't make me regret it. |
| 91205 I want no part of this perfidy. |
| 91206 I cannot allow you to kill this paladin, Dorn. |
| 91207 You challenge me? So be it! |
| 91208 Regrets are for fools and weaklings. You don't strike me as either. |
| 91209 Then you are a weakling and a fool. I've no patience for either. |
| 91210 Dorn's master, Ur-Gothoz, compels him to kill again. This time, the victim is to be a paladin of Helm named Terpfen. But before we can kill Terpfen, we must find him. |
| 91211 Dorn's master, Ur-Gothoz, compels him to kill again. This time, the victim is to be a paladin of Helm named Terpfen. But before we can kill Terpfen, we must find him. |
| 91212 Dorn's master, Ur-Gothoz, compels him to kill again. This time, the victim is to be a paladin of Helm named Terpfen. I could not be a part of such villainy. Dorn and I have parted company. |
| 91213 Dorn's vile master, the glabrezu Ur-Gothoz, compelled him to kill again. This time, the victim was to be Terpfen, a paladin of Helm. I could not permit itâ€â€we came to blows. Terpfen may not be saved, but Dorn will not be the instrument of his destruction. |
| 91214 Dorn's bloody path Dorn's patron, the glabrezu Ur-Gothoz, demands he find and slay Terpfen, a paladin of Helm. To do so, we must go to Helm's temple and determine where Dorn's target can be found. |
| 91215 How may I be of service? |
| 91216 I have heard that Tymora favors the bold. I have a bold plan that needs favoring. |
| 91217 Tymora be with you! |
| 91218 Telwyn's Note |
| 91219 You certainly have my attention. |
| 91220 The plan is a secret, but it requires ale. |
| 91221 Messenger Guard |
| 91222 I want to poison Joker. I'll need some ale to do it. |
| 91223 Telwyn, As per the agreement, I will ride out with Hokkney at dawn. I will be gone several months. Please do not allow Broderick to enter my room. If you need to contact me, we shall be making extended camp near Two Pines Creek. Guardian Terpfen |
| 91224 Forget it. If I tell you, the whole staff will know within the hour. |
| 91225 I'll require a game of bones to determine if the Lady Tymora favors your plan. Win and the ale is yours. |
| 91226 I'll require a game of bones to determine if the Lady Tymora favors your plan. Win and the ale is yours. Lose, and 1,000 gold pieces will earn you mine. |
| 91227 Very well. Let's throw the bones! |
| 91228 Did you hear that? |
| 91229 I've changed my mind. |
| 91230 Forget it. If I tell you, the whole staff will know within the hour. |
| 91231 What's happened? |
| 91232 Fortune seems to have favored my throw. Tymora does not approve of your plansâ€â€or perhaps she wishes they be made known to me, hmm? |
| 91233 I am not sure. I think Brother Telwyn is in trouble! |
| 91234 Telwyn? Is everything all right? |
| 91235 If I tell you my plan, you'll give me the ale? |
| 91236 SHIELD GUARDIANS! Battle formation! |
| 91237 No. The plan must remain a secret. |
| 91238 Huzzah! |
| 91239 You cheating halfling! You've tampered with the bones. |
| 91240 Hurrah! |
| 91241 The odds are very favorable that I will. |
| 91242 A discussion with Telwyn, a guard at Helm's temple, has obtained for us the location of the paladin Terpfen. |
| 91243 Very well. I am trying to weaken our captors by poisoning Joker, and the plan requires ale. |
| 91244 A Helmite guard named Telwyn supplied us with the location of the paladin Terpfen. It took some effort to convince him to part with the information. |
| 91245 Our efforts to locate the paladin Terpfen have come to naught. Dorn's patron, Ur-Gothoz, may have to go unsatisfied in this matter. |
| 91246 No. My plan must remain a secret. |
| 91247 Forget it. If I tell you, the whole staff will know within the hour. |
| 91248 Dorn's bloody path Thanks to Telwyn, we now know the paladin Terpfen can be found in a camp south of the city. We shall proceed there and finish him off, as Ur-Gothoz demands. |
| 91249 Come back if you change it again. |
| 91250 A pity. Come back when you do or are ready to tell me your plan. |
| 91251 As you wish. 1,000 gold pieces, please. |
| 91252 Here you go. |
| 91253 I don't have that kind of money. |
| 91254 On second thought, I've changed my mind. |
| 91255 Forget it. If I tell you, the whole staff will know within the hour. |
| 91256 You would poison Joker? That's fantastic! Here, take the ale. May Tymora's blessing be upon you! |
| 91257 Distilled Alcohol |

| 91263 Cleric of Tymora: Molzahn I have met a halfling by the name of Molzahn who has been driven to drinking by the fighting of his fellow priests. |
| 91264 The Joke's on Who The priest of Tymora, Molzahn, was captured by Joker and harbors a grudge against her. |
| 91265 The Joke's on Who I've obtained a flask of ceremonial ale from Molzahn. |
| 91266 Slaying Terpfen did not satisfy Dorn's patron, Ur-Gothoz, who demanded the massacre of everyone at the camp. A glorious, bloody battle ensued. |
| 91267 Slaying Terpfen did not satisfy Dorn's patron, Ur-Gothoz, who demanded the massacre of everyone at the camp. I joined in the slaughter, but am less than thrilled by Ur-Gothoz's apparently whimsical nature. |
| 91268 Slaying Terpfen did not satisfy Dorn's patron, Ur-Gothoz, who demanded the massacre of everyone at the camp. Dorn compliedâ€â€of course he did. But he knows I'm not pleased with his glabrezu patron's abrupt nature. |
| 91269 Dorn's actions have caught up to himâ€â€and meâ€â€in the form of the Hammers of Grimjaws. The fanatical paladins of Tyr eventually fell before us, but I fear they are just the beginning of the troubles my association with Dorn will cause me. |
| 91270 Dorn's actions have caught up to himâ€â€and meâ€â€in the form of The Hammers of Grimjaws. Though I defeated Tyr's fanatical paladins, I could not save Dorn from their wrath. |
| 91271 After the battle with the Hammers of Grimjaws, a woman calling herself Azothet approached and offered Dorn a chance to escape from Ur-Gothoz's control. I do not know whether he will take her up on the offer. |
| 91272 After the battle with the Hammers of Grimjaws, a woman calling herself Azothet approached and offered Dorn a chance to escape from Ur-Gothoz's control. I advised him to consider the offerâ€â€it seems to me Ur-Gothoz has brought him little but trouble. |
| 91273 After the battle with the Hammers of Grimjaws, a woman calling herself Azothet approached and offered Dorn a chance to escape from Ur-Gothoz's control. A tempting offer indeed, but Azothet is a stranger. In this instance, Dorn may be better off continuing to serve the demon he knows. |
| 91274 Azothet's power is considerableâ€â€she successfully severed Dorn and Ur-Gothoz's mental connection so she could talk to us in secret. The glabrezu was... displeased. With some effort, we managed to convince him the disconnection was an innocent mistake. |
| 91275 Azothet severed Dorn and Ur-Gothoz's mental connection so she could talk to us in secret. The glabrezu was... displeased. He demanded Dorn prove his loyalty by killing meâ€â€now he's one less servant to make miserable. |
| 91276 We are near Resurrection Gorge. A miserable-looking pit, but Azothet claims the key to Dorn's freedom from Ur-Gothoz can be found in its depths. Whether he truly desires that freedom remains to be seen. |
| 91277 Dorn's bloody path We have nearly reached Resurrection Gorge. Azothet has advised Dorn to seek out the heart of the great tree that looms over it. There he shall find the means to free himself from Ur-Gothoz. |
| 91278 An elderly druid named Summerheigh makes her home near Resurrection Gorge. At least she used to. Her new home, supplied courtesy of Dorn, will be in the stomachs of the scavengers that eat her body. |

| 91283 After some negotiation, I have acquired several items from Summerheigh that may ease my journey into Resurrection Gorge. |

Looking at the grim condition of the tree standing sentinel over the gorge, I'm not feeling lucky right now. |
| 91286 Ho ho, what have we here? Come raise a flagon with me! We'll drink till we die in the arena... or the bar. The bar is more likely for me. |
| 91287 Drinking already? Isn't it a bit early for that? |
| 91288 Pour me a flagon, and let's get started! |
| 91289 All right, who taught the ape to talk and hold a flagon? |
| 91290 I thought I was getting a late start! What are you, some sort of paladin? |
| 91291 I am a paladin, yes. |
| 91292 No. I just want to stay sober and survive my first day in this place. |
| 91293 No, but looking at you, I'm considering it. |
| 91294 Oh ho ho! A wild one we have here. Tell you what, my lady... after our first victory, come see me. We'll have a celebration all our own. |
| 91295 Sounds like fun. |
| 91296 I think I'll pass. Who are you, anyway? |
| 91297 It'll take more than marginally coherent drunken babbling to seduce me, you oaf. |
| 91298 I looked down. I shouldn't have looked down. Why did I look down? |
| 91299 Good man! Come, have a drink with old Voghiln. I'll tell you secrets that will get you any woman in Faerûn. Assuming she isn't already with me, of course. |
| 91300 Great. I've never had much luck with women. |
| 91301 Maybe I'll pass. Tell me your name. |
| 91302 Searching for the best entrance to Resurrection Gorge, we traveled from one side to the other over a bridge that goes right through the branches of the great tree. |
| 91303 Do you have any "secrets" that don't involve pouring gallons of ale down your throat? |
| 91304 Watch and learn. We are going to be good friends! I can feel it in my gutâ€â€and my gut's never wrong. |
| 91305 Searching for the best entrance to Resurrection Gorge, I traveled from one side to the other over a bridge that goes right through the branches of the great tree. |
| 91306 It certainly isn't today. Nice to meet you. |
| 91307 One can't have too many friends, especially in a place like this. What's your name? |
| 91308 I see you keep it well supplied. |
| 91309 Ahâ€â€we've got a funny one! |
| 91310 My apologies. Who are you again? |
| 91311 Who in the Nine Hells are you? |
| 91312 Try it and we'll see who laughs last. |
| 91313 That's unfortunate. But don't worry! Old Voghiln will loosen you up. I'll have you singing and drinking with the best of them in a tenday. If you're still alive, that is. |
| 91314 I don't intend to die any time soon. |
| 91315 We'll see. |
| 91316 It's your own life you should worry about. Who are you? |
| 91317 Voghiln's the name. A fighter, drinker, and lover... though not necessarily in that order. |
| 91318 How did you come to be here, Voghiln? |
| 91319 You seem to have many skills and stories. |
| 91320 Nice to meet you. I'll be going now. |
| 91321 You forgot "eater." |
| 91322 I'll tell you what I know and a few things I don't! |
| 91323 You're a good fighter, I take it? |
| 91324 So, you said you know a thing or two about women? |
| 91325 I gather you like to have a drink now and then? Especially now. |
| 91326 How did you end up here, Voghiln? |
| 91327 That's all for now. |
| 91328 Funny you should ask. It seems most around here got their teeth kicked in by that Winged wench and her gang. But not Voghiln! They tricked me! |
| 91329 Really? What happened? |
| 91330 How'd they manage that? |
| 91331 I was intercepted by a halfling named Treadsoft as I searched for a safe way into Resurrection Gorge. He was quickly called off by his mistress, the dryad Yarrow, who is connected to the gorge's great tree. She has agreed to see me safely to the gorge's floor. |
| 91332 We were intercepted by a halfling named Treadsoft while searching for a safe way into Resurrection Gorge. He was quickly called off by his mistress, the dryad Yarrow, who is connected to the gorge's great tree. After trying to warn us away, she has agreed to see us safely to the gorge's floor. |
| 91333 I was intercepted by a halfling named Treadsoft as I searched for a safe way into Resurrection Gorge. He served a dryad connected to the great tree. Both are dead now, but examining the dryad's corpse, I discovered an acorn that I believe may see us safely to the gorge's floor. |
| 91334 We were intercepted by a halfling named Treadsoft while searching for a safe way into Resurrection Gorge. He was quickly called off by his mistress, the dryad Yarrow, who is connected to the gorge's great tree. Though she clearly finds us distasteful, she has agreed to see us safely to the gorge's floor. |
| 91335 We were intercepted by a halfling named Treadsoft while searching for a safe way into Resurrection Gorge. After a brief battle, he was called off by his mistress, the dryad Yarrow, who is connected to the gorge's great tree. She deemed us worthy to enter the gorge and has agreed to see us safely to its floor. |
| 91336 I was intercepted by a halfling named Treadsoft while searching for a safe way into Resurrection Gorge. After a brief battle, he was called off by his mistress, the dryad Yarrow, who is connected to the gorge's great tree. She deemed me worthy to enter the gorge and has agreed to see me safely to its floor. |
| 91337 What did they do? Offer you some ale? |
| 91338 Eh, not so soon, not so soon. Win a few fightsâ€â€then you'll have earned the right to hear the story of how they captured the mighty Voghiln! |
| 91339 Fair enough. Can I ask you something else? |
| 91340 Fine. I'll be going now. |
| 91341 Pfft. They probably just dangled a banana in front of a giant sack. |
| 91342 Ach! I'll tell you another time... if you survive that long. |
| 91343 That pretty little half-elf girl... Joker. She got me alone in my favorite tavern after I made some coin doing a job for High Captain Baram of Luskan. |
| 91344 Ach, you are a smart one. That is exactly what happened! |
| 91345 Never met anyone that could match me drink for drink, but she did. Next thing I knew, the room was spinning and I woke up in this place. Joker, hah! She is nothing to laugh at, I'll tell you that much! |
| 91346 Interesting story. Can I ask you about something else? |
| 91347 That's good to know. I'll take my leave of you now. |
| 91348 I'll keep it in mind. Thank you. |
| 91349 Well, come find me the next time you need a drink, a laugh, or a pummeling! |
| 91350 Good at fighting? You could say that. I killed a dozen tundra yeti barehanded! Barehanded! You've heard of tundra yeti, yes? |
| 91351 I'm afraid not. |
| 91352 Yes. Terrible creatures. A threat to all goodly folk. |
| 91353 Aye, I have. |
| 91354 Actually I'd rather hear of your recent fights in the arena. |
| 91355 I sort of feel like I'm talking to a partially shaved yeti right now. |
| 91356 Twice as tall as a man and thrice as wide. Claws and fangs like daggers. Reminds me of me, now I think of it, except for the claws and fangs, of course. |
| 91357 I was escorting a caravan from the Ten Towns south to Luskan. We made camp for the night. I told them not to, but they didn't listen to Voghiln. |
| 91358 In the middle of the night, a pack of yetis attacked. In the chaos, I lost my axe. I had to rip one of their hairy arms off and use it to club the others to death. |
| 91359 The devils had killed the oxen and most of the guards. I had to pull the wagons to Luskan myself, fighting yetis and bandits the whole way! |
| 91360 An impressive feat. Could I ask you something else? |
| 91361 I completely, totally believe you. And I'll be on my way now. |
| 91362 You spin a good yarn. I'll give you that, and wide berth to boot. |
| 91363 Saying Voghiln knows a thing or two about women is like saying Elminster can cast a few spells! I know things about women they don't even know about themselves. |
| 91364 For instance? |
| 91365 Oh really? And what do you know about me I don't know of myself? |
| 91366 Perhaps we can discuss something else? |
| 91367 I'm guessing the only thing you know about women is how it feels when they slap your face. |
| 91368 Nice try. Figure out your own secrets. |
| 91369 Fine, be that way. I have another question for you. |
| 91370 I'll do that. Farewell. |
| 91371 I'm guessing the only thing you know about women is how it feels when they slap your face. |
| 91372 I know that you'll be giving in to my charms! |
| 91373 We'll see. I have other questions for you now. |
| 91374 Halt! Who would enter the Pavilion of Wrath? |
| 91375 We'll never know. See you later, Voghiln. |
| 91376 You have charms? Er, what are they...? |
| 91377 Finally. Let's get your name off the Scroll of Retribution and get out of here before I burst into flames. |
| 91378 You will change your mind. They all do! |
| 91379 I like a drink... when I'm not fighting or sleeping or drinking already. |
| 91380 Identify yourself. |
| 91381 We're going to get along fabulously. Can I ask you some questions? |
| 91382 Your name is familiar to me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 91383 Who doesn't? Me, that's who. I'll be going now. |
| 91384 Ah. That would explain it. You may pass. |
| 91385 I doubt the barkeep could tell which was the ogre and which was the human. |
| 91386 Yes, I recognize it now. At the bidding of one of our planetars, Alore recently inscribed the name in the Scroll of Retribution. Something about siding with a murderous half-orc blackguard. And who is this I see beside you...? |
| 91387 And my name is the last you'll ever hear! |
| 91388 Ah yes, I recognize the name now. A planetar recently had Alore inscribe the name in the Scroll of Retribution. |
| 91389 Ja! And what can mighty Voghiln do for you? |
| 91390 You're clearly a man of many skills and stories. |
| 91391 Can I ask you a question about drinking? |
| 91392 That's the name the planetar had Naiman inscribe on the By the gods, you're <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 91393 Greetings, Voghiln. I've a question for you: What would it take to get you to join me in my next fight? |
| 91394 Hello, Voghiln. I was hoping you could help me with a plan. |
| 91395 By the gods, you're <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 91396 Who would have the audacity� |
| 91397 Nothing, never mind. |
| 91398 Drinking? You have come to the right place, my friend! What do you want to know? |
| 91399 Good evening to you, Rodesi Ponz. |
| 91400 Is it true you're a connoisseur of fine drinks? |
| 91401 A cousin of a half-orc blackguard and a <PRO_MANWOMAN> with the same name as the blackguard's companion. That's quite a coincidence, <CHARNAME>. |
| 91402 Maybe we could have a few rounds of ale together? |
| 91403 The gods are not without a sense of humor, it's true. |
| 91404 Wait, never mind. I forgot I had decided to stop talking to semi-coherent drunks. |
| 91405 That is not my experience. |
| 91406 Maybe when you've won a few fights. I want to be sure I'm not left carrying your arse back to the bunk room. |
| 91407 So, you think you are ready to drink with mighty Voghiln, do you? Fine. You are buying! Ho ho ho ho! |
| 91408 Of course. |
| 91409 Very well. This one's on me! |
| 91410 Looks like I don't have enough gold. Some other time. |
| 91411 What is your business here? |
| 91412 Forget it. Buy your own ale. |
| 91413 You would lecture me on my duties, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 91414 My assistance does not come without a price. |
| 91415 Really? That's odd. |
| 91416 What price is that, then? |
| 91417 Normally, Alore receives new names from divine inspiration. Occasionally, a planetar will offer an addition, but I can't recall a champion ever doing so. |
| 91418 True enough. Pass. |
| 91419 Never mind, then. |
| 91420 I'll not stand between a champion and their calling. Pass. |
| 91421 Pay for help from a half-drunk ape? Forget it! |
| 91422 These are dark days, right enough. Pass. |
| 91423 1,500 gold pieces and my axe is yours. |
| 91424 You are right in that. But something's not right here... |
| 91425 Enough blather! I'll see you dead! |
| 91426 Wrong move, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 91427 You speak well enough, but your words ring false. Something's not right here... |
| 91428 I would be honored to fight next to anyone who can drink me under the table. Just stay out of my way. I'd hate to cut you down along with the nasty buggers in the pits! |
| 91429 I cannot, not until I'm sure. |
| 91430 For my last fight, I faced a bunch of minotaurs! Big ones too, and smart. They tried to outflank me, but I put my back to the wall and started swinging! We'll be eating roast beef tonight! |
| 91431 Most impressive. May I ask you something else? |
| 91432 More likely the minotaurs caught a whiff of you and keeled over! |
| 91433 Heard any rumors of what to expect next? |
| 91434 I'll not let this sanctimonious cretin stand between us and the scroll! |
| 91435 Nothing specific, though I did overhear a guard muttering something about holy water and garlic... |
| 91436 There's no other kind, here. |
| 91437 Ah! The fights are finally getting interesting! At first, those skinny, pointy-eared fellows didn't look so tough. Githyanki, Tartle calls them. But I'll tell you this: Those devils are fast. |
| 91438 Death to the righteous! |
| 91439 Feel my wrath, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 91440 Glad you survived. Can I ask you something else? |
| 91441 There are glaciers that move faster than you, fat man. |
| 91442 Face the gods' wrath, fiend! |
| 91443 Any word on what the next fight will be? |
| 91444 Only Naiman can cross a name off the Scroll. And then only via divine inspiration. Why are you really here? |
| 91445 I cannot say for sure, but I heard Tartle muttering about a... phylactery? I do not know what that is, but if it is some sort of drink, I am going to get a taste of it! |
| 91446 What is your name, again? |
| 91447 I faced some strange beasts yesterday. They looked like walking squids. I thought to myself, "It's seafood for dinner tonight!" Next thing I knew, the arena was spinning and it was all I could do to stand there as they wrapped their tentacles around my head and started biting at me. |
| 91448 What business do you have with Alore? |
| 91449 One of the other performers said they were trying to eat my brains. |
| 91450 That would be Naiman. |
| 91451 I'm glad you've got such a thick skull. Could I ask you something else? |
| 91452 Ho there, scribe! This <PRO_RACE> says <PRO_HESHE> has business with you. |
| 91453 Trying to get at your brains through your head? They should have checked the other end! |
| 91454 Ho there, scribe! This <PRO_RACE> says you're <PRO_HISHER> uncle! |
| 91455 What do you think we'll face next? |
| 91456 I've never set eyes on this person before. |
| 91457 Nobody has said anything, but last night, I was at the bar, and I heard a roaring and what sounded like huge wings flapping. Never saw where it came from though. Figured I'd had enough drink and went to bed. |
| 91458 You're mistaken. I have no siblings and never married. |
| 91459 Oh ho ho! People have been talking about mighty Voghiln, have they now? Well, you know, where there's vultures, there's fighting! |
| 91460 Defend yourself, intruder! |
| 91461 So it's true? |
| 91462 No excuses! Die for your wretched god! |
| 91463 You certainly must be important. Who might that contact be, if you don't mind my asking? |
| 91464 You're going nowhere, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 91465 Die as you lived, righteous and blind fools! |
| 91466 I was thinking about challenging Joker to a drinking contest. Could you arrange that? |
| 91467 Die as you lived, righteous and blind! |
| 91468 Or maybe there are vultures because you smell like a dead troll. |
| 91469 I am <CHARNAME>, servant of Tyr. |
| 91470 I am Rodesi Ponz, servant of Tyr. |
| 91471 Of Righteous Wrath, you mean. |
| 91472 Stand aside. I've business with the scribe. |
| 91473 I can't imagine why. |
| 91474 I wish I could say I'm surprised. Back in the Material Plane, there's a total and complete scoundrel whose name I have the misfortune to share. |
| 91475 That's fitting, as it's the name of the <PRO_MANWOMAN> who will kill you. |
| 91476 This is Herth Il-Khan, cousin and sworn enemy of the blackguard. He is a crusader of Tyr who wishes to see Dorn's name in the Scroll of Retributionâ€â€it will give him the strength to slay the monster and redeem his family name. |
| 91477 Him? That's Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 91478 A terrible person, <CHARNAME>. They shame me. |
| 91479 You can imagine my dismay to learn that someone was doing such horrible things in my name. |
| 91480 And rightly so, as you'll soon discover. |
| 91481 I seek the Scribe of Righteous Wrath. |
| 91482 I hope you're right, but we'll see how good it is shortly. |
| 91483 I've business in the pavilion. Let me pass. |
| 91484 Believe me, I'm well aware of that. Sometimes I wonder which god of mischief I inadvertently wronged to be inflicted with such a namesake. |
| 91485 Tyr moves in mysterious ways. |
| 91486 It is, and it's one I've little interest in discussing further. Stand aside. |
| 91487 I need to speak with the Scribe of Righteous Wrath. |
| 91488 I have new names that need inclusion in the Scroll of Divine Retribution. |
| 91489 No business of yours, dwarf. |
| 91490 No business of yours. |
| 91491 I meant no offense, dwarf. But I am to speak to the scribe, and no one but the scribe. |
| 91492 I meant no offense. But I am to speak to the scribe, and no one but the scribe. |
| 91493 Forgive me if I seemed harsh. I can see that you know your duties well and perform them with integrity and poise. I'll leave you to them. |
| 91494 Stand aside. My business is not with you. |
| 91495 How so? |
| 91496 These are odd times. |
| 91497 Less odd than one who is inscribed in the Scroll of Retribution infiltrating Lunia and attempting to have their name removed? |
| 91498 'Tis an unusual situation, I'll grant you that. But I am helpless before the will of Tyr. Please, let me pass. |
| 91499 Strictly 'twixt you and me, you can expect more of this sort of thing in the near future. Times are changing, my friend, and not for the better. |
| 91500 What you recall is of no consequence. Let me through, now. |
| 91501 I can see there'll be no getting past you, O righteous defender. I applaud your diligence and will take my leave of you now. |
| 91502 You're right about that. You've no idea how right. |
| 91503 Last chance. Let me through, now. |
| 91504 You're right about that, my friend. These are dark days indeed. I commend you for your vigilanceâ€â€I'll be on my way now. |
| 91505 I'll grant you it's an unusual situation. But I am helpless before the will of Tyr. Please, let me pass. |
| 91506 Last chance. Let me through, now. |
| 91507 Then I will be on my way. |
| 91508 You brought this on yourself. |
| 91509 Heh. True enough. I would speak with the person responsible for the Scroll of Retribution. |
| 91510 You're about to find how wrong you are, fool. |
| 91511 You wouldn't believe me if I told you. |
| 91512 I was divinely inspired to seek Naiman. Will you truly stand in my way? |
| 91513 I've received some divine inspiration of my ownâ€â€my god says you must die. |
| 91514 Last chance. Let me through, now. |
| 91515 I've a couple names he can cross off the scroll. I took divine retribution upon them. |
| 91516 He's my uncle. |
| 91517 I have new names that need inclusion in the Scroll of Divine Retribution. |
| 91518 Personal business. Let me pass. |
| 91519 And seeing you up close now, I realize I was mistaken. Forgive me. I'll waste no more of your time. |
| 91520 I was but a child when last you saw me, Uncle. |
| 91521 You'll soon wish you had, you simpering fop! |
| 91522 You're right. I am mistaken. Please excuse me. |
| 91523 Well, I tried. |
| 91524 That's unfortunate. If you had, you might have survived the next few minutes. |
| 91525 We reached the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath. I managed to convince its guardian to allow us entry. |
| 91526 We reached the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath. I tried to convince its guardian to allow us entry, but claiming that I was related to the Scroll of Retribution's scribe backfired and a pitched battle ensued. |
| 91527 We reached the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath. I tried to convince its guardian to allow us entry, but claiming that I was related to the Scroll of Retribution's scribe backfired. A pitched battle ensued. Dorn was among the casualties. |
| 91528 Dorn's bloody path Now that we've reached the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath, we must approach the Scroll of Righteousness's scribe and determine how to remove my and Dorn's name from the list of divine assassination. |
| 91529 I suppose telling a friend like you wouldn't hurt... It was that Joker girl. The one that tricked me into coming here in the first place! She liked what she saw, if you know what I mean. |
| 91530 I guess she did. I've another question for you. |
| 91531 Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean. I'll be going now. |
| 91532 Or maybe she just likes drinking you under the table. |
| 91533 It is no secret that women can't stay away from me, and the half-elf that works for Dennaton is a woman... But I have not had enough to drink to be telling THAT story yet. |
| 91534 Too bad. I'd like to hear it. I guess I'll go now. |
| 91535 Can I ask you about something else? |
| 91536 And I haven't drunk enough to listen to your blather. |
| 91537 Ahh! Now that is some good ale! Reminds me of some I had not too long ago. I tell you, it's good to have contacts upstairs. |
| 91538 Perhaps you could care to tell me more? Over another round, of course. |
| 91539 I should be going now. Liquor and I are a dangerous combination. |
| 91540 It's also good to have baths. You should try one sometime. |
| 91541 Oh ho ho ho! Looks like you can't keep up with mighty Voghiln. Best be getting to bed before you fall out of your chair! |
| 91542 Ja! You know that half-elf girl that works for Dennatonâ€â€Joker? Well, she has hardly left me alone since I got here. She cannot get enough of mighty Voghiln's company! |
| 91543 Indeed? What can you tell me about her? |
| 91544 I'd like to hear more, but I'm afraid I must bid you good <DAYNIGHTALL> now. |
| 91545 She might not be able to get enough of you, but I certainly have. Goodbye. |
| 91546 Ja. Well... She's liking her ales as much as I do. And she is nice enough company, but... I would like to get her back for bringing me... here... Zzz... |
| 91547 Of course! Everyone needs Voghiln's help. Where would you be without me? Now, tell me what you are needing. |
| 91548 I intend to try to poison Joker. |
| 91549 I need help with a plan, but it is not quite ready yet. I need more items first. |
| 91550 Rumor is that you have connections around here. |
| 91551 It is a secret matter, but I should be able to trust an honorable warrior such as yourself. |
| 91552 Nothing, never mind. |
| 91553 Forget it. I need help from something smarter than the stone floor we are standing on. |
| 91554 I have had every drink there is from Calimshan to Kuldahar, but I am always looking to try another! You have something new for mighty Voghiln? |
| 91555 I happen to have a very rare one right here! Try it. |
| 91556 I have the drink, but it's missing a special ingredient. |
| 91557 No, I was just wondering. I'll be going now. |
| 91558 Yes. Soap. |
| 91559 Hmm... *sniff* Smells good. Mmm... Tastes even better! Give me some more. Ja! That's some of the best I've ever tasted! I will have to tell Joker about this... |
| 91560 We have fought in the same pit and are bound as warriors. If you cannot trust me, who can you trust? Now tell mighty Voghiln what you are thinking. |
| 91561 I intend to try to poison Joker. Can you help? |
| 91562 On second thought, I've changed my mind. I'll take my leave of you now. |
| 91563 On second thought, I think I have changed my mind. I must be going. |
| 91564 Forget it, Voghiln. I trust Stirv's wyvern more than you. |
| 91565 Ho ho! Ever since that skinny half-elf captured me, I have been looking to put her in her place. This sounds like just the way to do it! What do you need? |
| 91566 Tell her I have a drink so strong it'll knock her on her rear. |
| 91567 Nothing. This was a bad idea. I've got to go. |
| 91568 Forget it. I need someone who can speak in coherent sentences. |
| 91569 Are you sure you don't need me to bash some guards or break down some walls? |
| 91570 That won't be necessary. Just mention the drink. |
| 91571 On second thought, forget it. I must be going. |
| 91572 In retrospect, it seems to me my scheme requires more subtlety than you're capable of. I'll get one of Stirv's umber hulks instead. |
| 91573 She will be coming to see you before you know it. She can't resist me. |
| 91574 Challenging Joker to a drinking contest? Have you lost your mind? Well, it is your funeral. I'll let her know for you. |
| 91575 Voghiln the Vast I have met an Illuskan warrior named Voghiln. He was captured after he lost a drinking contest to Joker. |
| 91576 The Joke's on Who Apparently, Voghiln has access to Jokerâ€â€he appears to drink with her sometimes. This may provide a way to poison Joker and weaken my captors. |
| 91577 I defeated Voghiln in a drinking contest. He now holds me in high regard and seems willing to help me. |
| 91578 The Joke's on Who I have successfully convinced Voghiln to send Joker word of the drink I want her to try. |
| 91579 The Joke's on Who Voghiln's agreed to tell Joker I wish to challenge her in a drinking contest. |
| 91580 What is it? I don't recognize you. Move along. |
| 91581 Stand aside, mercenary. I have business with your paymasters. |
| 91582 I know what this place is. I want to purchase some wares. |
| 91583 I'm not here to talk. Nothing personal, but no servant of the Red Wizards leaves here alive. |
| 91584 Business? What business would that be? I was told none of it. |
| 91585 I have business with Lanneth. You know the name, yes? She'll not take kindly to my being delayed. |
| 91586 Uh, I'm here to make... arrangements. Arrangements for... services. |
| 91587 I merely want to buy some magical wares. |
| 91588 My business? To see them dead. |
| 91589 We're not open to folks just strolling through the promenade. |
| 91590 Stand aside, doorman. I have an extraordinary talent for killing all those who stand before me. |
| 91591 Perhaps we could come to an arrangement? |
| 91592 I'm not just anyone? Look, I'll prove it. Watch this enchantment spellâ€â€it'll only take a second... |
| 91593 Forget it, then. I suppose we'll have to do this the hard way. |
| 91594 Arrangements for services, eh? |
| 91595 All right, I get it. There's the door all open for you now. Go on, then. |
| 91596 Perhaps. If you're looking to buy something here, you must have plenty to spare... 250 gold pieces will get you in the door. |
| 91597 250 gold pieces? Are you mad? That's got to be more than you make in a month! |
| 91598 You drive a hard bargain. Very well. Here's the money. |
| 91599 Perhaps I can persuade you another way, then. |
| 91600 And then some! I'll take no less, though. |
| 91601 Ha! You've just made my day. I'm through with this job... And, just to be on the safe side, this townâ€â€Thayans tend to make life miserable for those who cross them. Many thanks, stranger. |
| 91602 You're welcome to try. I've got at least another day and night ahead of me out here. |
| 91603 Perhaps we could come to an arrangement? |
| 91604 A day and night? That won't be necessary. This enchantment spell only takes seconds... |
| 91605 Think again. You've only got a few seconds before you're standing in a pool of your own blood. |
| 91606 Forget it, then. I suppose we'll have to do this the hard way. |
| 91607 ...I, ah... Forgive my earlier rudeness, friend. Head on in! |
| 91608 You are not one of our clients! Who let you in? |
| 91609 We convinced the guard to let us pass. We are adventurers in urgent need of magical assistance. |
| 91610 Stand aside. We have come to destroy the Order of Eight Staves. |
| 91611 You should ask who will let you out. |
| 91612 That was foolish of him. |
| 91613 You may not think so when our business is done. Show me what you have for sale. |
| 91614 I've some questions I'd like you to answer. |
| 91615 I've had second thoughts, actually. Farewell. |
| 91616 I sell goods, not information. |
| 91617 What if I want information about a certain kind of good? |
| 91618 In that case, you can give me the information I want for free. I plan to destroy the Order of Eight Staves. Where can I find them? |
| 91619 Very well. Show me what you have for sale. |
| 91620 In that case, I suppose I'll just to kill you. |
| 91621 I am Gul Dukeem. I manage the mercantile affairs of the enclave. I have no wish to get between you and the Orderâ€â€but if you mean to do them harm, there is no way you'll leave this place alive. |
| 91622 Is that a threat? |
| 91623 So be it, then! Prepare yourself. |
| 91624 Not at all. I said I have no wish to get between you and the Order, and I meant it. I established this enclave, but the Order has taken overâ€â€I'd rather they weren't here at all. But you intend to kill everyone, I can't just let you in, especially as you're likely to fail. I need to have a reason. |
| 91625 A reason? |
| 91626 If that's the case, I guess we'll do this the hard way. |
| 91627 I have little patience for riddles. What "certain kind of good" do you mean? |
| 91628 I know that the Red Wizards import and export many kinds of merchandiseâ€â€both crates and cages. I'm interested in the kind that comes in a cage. |
| 91629 What is your most powerful magic item? |
| 91630 Oh, something... illegal. |
| 91631 Never mind. Just show me what you have. |
| 91632 I mean the good that will come from killing you. Die! |
| 91633 We have many different items for sale. Some are not items at all: They are people. If you were to express interest in owning a slaveâ€â€a wild mage slave, for instance... |
| 91634 Go on. |
| 91635 I've heard enough. Your life ends now! |
| 91636 I suppose I could open the door to the back so you could examine a prospective purchase. |
| 91637 I would like to examine the goods before I part with my hard-earned cash. |
| 91638 On second thought, it might be easier just to kill you. |
| 91639 Why not just take a look at what we're offering? |
| 91640 Very well. Show me what you have. |
| 91641 I think I'd rather just kill you. |
| 91642 A little vague... |
| 91643 Need something else? You might want to take a look at what the others have to offer. |
| 91644 Yes, let me see your goods again. |
| 91645 What I need is information. |
| 91646 No, I don't need anything. Farewell. |
| 91647 Spare me! Oh, please spare me! I've done nothing wrong, nothing! I am just a merchant; the other enterprises of the Red Wizards are no concern of mine. Please, let me live; I have access to a steady supply of wonderful items that are sure to make you even more powerful, and I'll give you a discount! |
| 91648 You are a slaver. That alone is reason enough to kill you, even if you were not involved in the kidnap of my friends. You die now. |
| 91649 No. Why would I trust you? You die now. |
| 91650 Perhaps you are worth something after all, then. Stay put, then, and don't THINK of betraying me. |
| 91651 I care nothing for your goods, but I will not kill you, either. Run away and don't come back. |
| 91652 Thank you for sparing my life. You have a question for me? |
| 91653 Yes, in fact I do. The master key to the slaves' quarters. Where is it? |
| 91654 No, no questions. Farewell. |
| 91655 But you don't mean to free |
| 91656 Yes, I do. Where is the key, Dukeem? |
| 91657 Actually, you're right. I don't. Farewell. |
| 91658 I suppose there's nothing I can do about it. I bid farewell to the lucrative half of this enterprise, but losing that is better than losing my life. Here, take the key. |
| 91659 A wise decision. Farewell. |
| 91660 Welcome back, <CHARNAME>. |
| 91661 You're on a first-name basis with this guy? When did that happen? *sigh* You can consort with your shady contacts on your own time; I'll have no part of it. |
| 91662 Very well, Neera. Let's go. |
| 91663 He may have some items that are of use to us, Neera. |
| 91664 I lead this group, Neera. I decide who we do business with. |
| 91665 Like what? Slaves? Vials of wild mage blood? No thanks. If you insist on dealing with this hrasted scum, I'm done with you. |
| 91666 You're right, Neera. I'm sorry. Let's go. |
| 91667 I lead this group, Neera. |
| 91668 And I decide to leave this group on account of your terrible decisions. Goodbye! |
| 91669 What can I do for you today? |
| 91670 Let me see your wares. |
| 91671 Nothing, actually. Farewell. |
| 91672 You're all right by Dukeem, I see. Very well. I have a wide selection of potions on offer. |
| 91673 A wide selection? I'll be the judge of that. Let me see. |
| 91674 Potions? Not interested. |
| 91675 I sell scrolls. Looks like we're both lucky the Cowled Wizards leave this place alone, eh? |
| 91676 Let me see what you have. |
| 91677 Scrolls? On second thought, never mind. |
| 91678 You can't wave away your troubles with a magic wandâ€â€or can you? |
| 91679 You sell wands, I take it. I'd like to see them. |
| 91680 I don't need any wands, thanks. |
| 91681 What is going on out here?! |
| 91682 What in the Hells? Gul Dukeem, this <PRO_MANWOMAN> is aiding the wild mages against us! Why did you let <PRO_HIMHER> in? |
| 91683 I had no idea! |
| 91684 Well, don't just stand there! Kill <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 91685 Off limits, stranger. Talk to Dukeem if you want through. |
| 91686 No one passes without Dukeem's permission. |
| 91687 What's gonna happen? Where's my mother?! |
| 91688 Do not worry, Kirik. We will find her! |
| 91689 I'm not sure. We'll see what we can do to help. |
| 91690 Dry your eyes, child. Your mother is dead. |
| 91691 That's right, Kirik. Did you hear that? They're going to find her and bring her back. |
| 91692 Did you hear that, Kirik? They're going to do what they can to help. |
| 91693 Do not say such things to him, <CHARNAME>! Perhaps it would be best if you let me take care of the child. |
| 91694 Thank you for consoling him, <CHARNAME>. It is hard to keep the child's spirits up in the absence of Amanis. |
| 91695 Please find my mother. Please! |
| 91696 I'm scared! Everyone's gone. Just like Mama. |
| 91697 Don't be afraid, Mereth. We'll do what we can to find your friends. |
| 91698 I understand you're frightened. I am too. |
| 91699 Tragedy follows tragedy. Such is the way of the world. |
| 91700 You willâ€â€you will. |
| 91701 You found my hairbandâ€â€I thought I lost that forever. Take the pink-hair lady with you, too! She's good at magic. |
| 91702 Thanks, Mereth. Iâ€â€I needed to hear that. |
| 91703 No! You can't be! You're brave and strong. You can fight those wizards and get my friends back. |
| 91704 Tragedy? That's... bad things? Well, I think you can beat the tragedy, get those wizards, and save everyone! |
| 91705 Wonderful. Another person I am sure won't prove to be hopelessly dull and predictable has come to speak with me. |
| 91706 There's no call for sarcasm. |
| 91707 Sarcasm from a drow. Shocking. |
| 91708 Spare me your sarcasm and I'll spare you your life, drow. |
| 91709 Sarcasm? You wound me. |
| 91710 Let's try to start over. Let me ask you a few questions. |
| 91711 Forget it. I'm leaving. |
| 91712 Not yet I haven't. |
| 91713 No! Please stay. I've nothing better to do than answer each question that flits through your feeble mind. |
| 91714 Ah, what a retort! I'll have to steal it. |
| 91715 One step closer and I'll pluck your beady eyes from your evil skull! |
| 91716 I'm not evil. I'm good! |
| 91717 I think you have me confused with someone else. |
| 91718 Threaten me again and you'll have more to worry about than my beady eyes. |
| 91719 On your way out, tell that table if it doesn't stop laughing at me, I'll have its legs off. |
| 91720 Very well, Jinga. You win this round, but next time you won't be so lucky! |
| 91721 I'm talking to the gnomish weremole behind you. |
| 91722 I don't see any gnomish weremoles. |
| 91723 No one's standing behind me. I... think I'll be leaving now. |
| 91724 That's it. I've had enough crazy for one day. |
| 91725 Her name is Jinga! She's stalked me since I got here. She's a crafty one! Sometimes she looks like a chair, and sometimes she looks like a chamber pot, and sometimes even a piece of cheese cleverly hidden between two pieces of bread. |
| 91726 She'll never take me alive! |
| 91727 You're scaring me. Let's talk about something else. |
| 91728 I'm going to slowly back away and leave the room now. |
| 91729 That's where you are wrong. Jinga has spies everywhere. They're always watching. |
| 91730 Lea Gosh'Aar A woman named Lea Gosh'Aar threatened to pluck out my eyes. She also seems to think I am a blind gnome. |
| 91731 Hello! Did you find it yet? Did you find my hairband? |
| 91732 I have not found it yet, Mereth, but I will. |
| 91733 No, I did not. |
| 91734 No, and I do not intend to. |
| 91735 Ohâ€â€well, keep looking! I had a dream you found it. I put it on, and then my hair was as long as Mama's! |
| 91736 Oh... I had a dream you found it. I put it on, and then my hair was as long as Mama's. It was just a dream, wasn't it? |
| 91737 You have it! You've found Mama's hairband! That's it for sure... Thank you so much. |
| 91738 You're welcome, Mereth. I am glad you have it once again. |
| 91739 Of course. |
| 91740 I'm not sure why I did it, but I did. Now run off. |
| 91741 Wait, wait! |
| 91742 I... have something for you, too. Mama said it would keep me safe away from home. It's a horseâ€â€isn't it pretty? Now I have a home, here with Telana and the others. You can have it, because I know you're never home. |
| 91743 A little necklace with a wooden horse pendant. It's charming, Mereth, but why don't you keep it? |
| 91744 Oh! That is so lovely! Thank you so much. I'm sure it will keep me safe. |
| 91745 Hmm. What's this? The horse disguises an amulet... Very well, Mereth. This is a suitable gift. |
| 91746 Mama always said it was better to give than to receive. I want you to have it. |
| 91747 In that case, thank you. |
| 91748 You're welcome! |
| 91749 We did a good thing, <CHARNAME>. Cute horse, too! Why didn't she want ME to wear the hairband, though?! Eh... I guess Telana's just better with kids than I am. |
| 91750 I'm glad you like it! |
| 91751 My hair'll grow as long and beautiful as Mama's now. Even if it doesn't, it's nice... just nice to have it. I'm going to show Telana. Maybe she can wear it sometimes, too. |
| 91752 Thank you again, <CHARNAME>. I'm so happy with my hairband. Do you think my hair's getting longer? I think so! |
| 91753 Oh, I DO think so. It's very pretty, Mereth, and longer than ever. |
| 91754 Looks about the same to me. |
| 91755 It looks even shorter than the last time I saw it. |
| 91756 Thank you! Kirik gets bored when I talk about it, so I'm glad I can talk about it with you. Bye! |
| 91757 Oh really? Hmph. Mironda said it would grow no matter what. Maybe it just doesn't grow very fast, though. Oh well... Bye! |
| 91758 Hey! That's not very nice. You sound like Hayes! |
| 91759 Go on in, friend. |
| 91760 Wild Surge: Explosion! |
| 91761 Szass Tam |
| 91762 So... what does blood taste like, Hexxat? |
| 91763 Have you ever sucked on your own wound or had a cut in your mouth? It tastes like that. |
| 91764 I thought it'd be different for vampires. I guess it could be an acquired taste, but it's soâ€â€coppery? It has this weird tang. |
| 91765 You get used to it. |
| 91766 Are vampires like cats? I've heard that cats taste through smell! |
| 91767 No. We're not like cats. |
| 91768 Ah, all right. Rude of me to pry. It must be aâ€â€umâ€â€very private experience. |
| 91769 I could share it with you. |
| 91770 What? NO! No. I meanâ€â€sorry. No. I just, um. Not that there's anything wrong with it, of courseâ€â€well, there kind of is if someone dies maybe, but two consenting adults and all that... No. Sorry. No. |
| 91771 As you wish. |
| 91772 I'm not sure you'll appreciate this, Rasaad, but I understand how you feel. To have led so many in a cause you believe in and seen them suffer... |
| 91773 I appreciate the sentiment, Neera. But words are no balm to the pain I feel. |
| 91774 Oh, I know nothing I say could stop your suffering. If either one of us ever thought thatâ€â€well, we've both grown up a bit, haven't we? |
| 91775 Then why did you not leave me to my thoughts, wild mage? |
| 91776 Because I know how thoughts can get. Especially guilty ones. There may be no cure for your suffering, but that doesn't mean you need to make yourself suffer more. |
| 91777 Your sunny disposition would make the Mistress of Night's worshippers tremble with hate. |
| 91778 I've tricked one more person into thinking I have a sunny disposition. |
| 91779 You do not? |
| 91780 I'm not big on the brooding, but I'm no sunshine. |
| 91781 No? Not even a winter's sun that shines over a barren world and laughs at its reflection in the snow? |
| 91782 That doesn't sound bad. Poetic, melancholy, sublime. Yeah, that's basically meâ€â€hey! You're laughing! |
| 91783 There may be no balm in words, but there is in sympathy. Let us walk in silent sympathy for a time, Neera. |
| 91784 Bring me Dorn, the half-orc blackguard. |
| 91785 What is this now? |
| 91786 Welcome, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 91787 It's a pocket plane. You don't have one? |
| 91788 Dorn. I have need of you. |
| 91789 <CHARNAME>. Why have you called me here? |
| 91790 I'm sure that you do. What do you offer me to make it worth my effort? |
| 91791 You'll have to do better than that. |
| 91792 You know what I like, <PRO_RACE>. Very well, I am with you. |
| 91793 Ah, it is you, <CHARNAME>. You say you need me? |
| 91794 It was. Very well, then. I am with you. |
| 91795 You waste my time, <PRO_RACE>. Tell me why you have summoned me or return me whence I came. |
| 91796 Our past adventures were tales of mayhem written in the blood of our enemies. Promise me more of the same, and you can count me in. |
| 91797 Hah! Well said. Very well then. I am with you. |
| 91798 My patience wears thin, <CHARNAME>. |
| 91799 I have need of your talents. |
| 91800 No particular reason. I just thought you might like to see the place. It's got a very Dorn Il-Khan feel to it, don't you think? |
| 91801 Power and glory await us bothâ€â€if you will stand with me once again. |
| 91802 For one thing, I think you'll find it difficult to leave this place without me. |
| 91803 Power and glory. |
| 91804 Do as I say, half-orc. You'd rather me an ally than enemy. |
| 91805 Come on, Dorn. You know I'll make this worth your while. As I recall, our past association was quite rewarding. |
| 91806 Blood, carnage, and death, then. How does that sound? |
| 91807 Our fates are entwined. We are tied together by blood, darkness, and death. Join me again, and I promise you more of the same. |
| 91808 I have much to do. I could do it better with one such as you at my side. |
| 91809 I can use your talents, as you can use mine. Our past association was rewarding, was it not? |
| 91810 A grand adventure beckons. I would have you stand at my side once more. |
| 91811 You never were one for small talk, were you? |
| 91812 I have need of your skills. |
| 91813 Dorn Il-Khan and <CHARNAME>, together. None can stand against us. |
| 91814 You need to ask if there'll be mayhem and blood? I'm almost insulted. |
| 91815 Done. |
| 91816 Don't threaten me, half-orc. You don't want me as an enemy. |
| 91817 Come on, Dorn. Whatever the circumstances, you know I'll make this worth your while. As I recall, our past association was quite rewarding. |
| 91818 I offer you blood, carnage, and death, then. How does that sound? |
| 91819 You would have me leave, <CHARNAME>? Have you taken leave of your senses? |
| 91820 You'll not live long to regret this, <PRO_RACE>â€â€not without me to save your skin. |
| 91821 You treat me like some game piece? I should rip your beating heart from your chest. |
| 91822 I'll send you to the Abyss! |
| 91823 You're making a mistake, <PRO_RACE>. Correct it, quickly, lest you would feel my wrath. |
| 91824 A wise move. You'll not regret it. |
| 91825 Perhaps I have, but I would still be done with you. |
| 91826 I made you a friend, Dornâ€â€there's a good argument I had no sense to lose. Now return to the pocket plane, lest I need you again. |
| 91827 Perhaps you're right. Very well, you may continue to accompany me. |
| 91828 Have patience, Dorn. You may yet have a role to play in the events to come. |
| 91829 Yes, yes. But you won't, because you know I may yet be of use to you. Now, back to the pocket plane with you. |
| 91830 Try it, half-orc. I could use the laugh. |
| 91831 Well, <CHARNAME>? Have you come to your senses yet? |
| 91832 Oh yes? And why should I do that? |
| 91833 Seeing as you ask so nicely, I will rejoin you. |
| 91834 Get out of my sight, you wheyfaced wretch. |
| 91835 Common sense tells me I'm better off without you. |
| 91836 Perhaps, perhaps not. Either way, I would have you join me. |
| 91837 I have need of you, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 91838 You know what I have to offer one such as you. Are you with me or not? |
| 91839 Do it or don't. I'm not going to beg. |
| 91840 Because I said so. Do not defy me, half-orc. |
| 91841 The half-orc blackguard is a man more comfortable with action than words. When pressed, he gruffly alludes to an act of betrayal that set him upon a bloody path of vengeance with the assistance of his patron, Ur-Gothoz. Since eliminating those who betrayed him, he has continued to spread chaos, death, and destruction at his dark patron's behest. While Dorn seems to revel in carnage and bloodshed, when he speaks of his work for Ur-Gothoz, you believe you detect a note of dissatisfaction in his voice. |
| 91842 With no one to temper his wrath, it was inevitable Dorn would come to a bad end. Though he escaped the wrath of the gods, there were others whose retribution could not be avoided. Hunted down and captured by a "Freelance Jurist," Mercy Whitedove, he was taken back to Luskan to stand trial. He was found guilty of the mass slaughter of every man, woman, and child in a village called Barrow, where his dark path began. Sentenced to death, Dorn broke free of the prison on three occasions before the sentence could be carried out. Twice, he was tracked down by Whitedove and returned. For their final meeting, Dorn was determined not to be taken alive, and in this respect he was successful. To save her own life, Whitedove was forced to slay the so-called "Butcher of Barrow." Tales of Dorn Il-Khan were told for decades after, both by parents with unruly children in need of discipline and by those vile men and women who admired the half-orc's deeds. |
| 91843 To this day, tales of Dorn Il-Khan and <CHARNAME> are told, both by parents whose unruly children need some discipline and those vile men and women who admired the malevolent pair's deeds. Their relationship was a tempestuous one, with each vying to control the other at every turn. Though they successfully evaded the wrath of the gods, Dorn and <CHARNAME> would find it more difficult to escape mortal justice. Dorn was captured by a woman named Mercy Whitedove and taken to Luskan, where he was tried for the mass slaughter of the village of Barrow. <CHARNAME> executed Dorn's daring and bloody escape, after which they spent several years avoiding Whitedove and other bounty hunters. Given their temperaments, the end of Dorn and <CHARNAME>'s relationship was perhaps inevitable. After their umpteenth escape from the implacable Whitedove, the tension between them exploded into violence. Left with little choice, <CHARNAME> slew Dorn and disappeared into the shadows of history. |
| 91844 What this now? Dragon scales? Shiny. |
| 91845 I's Cespenar! I can makes something of anything! What you want? |
| 91846 Making sword of dragon scales like making chariot into boatâ€â€take looong time, and even then it might not float so good. |
| 91847 Abstract sculpture. Look nice on lawn. Make neighbors jealous. Or armor, maybe. |
| 91848 Armor it is. |
| 91849 I can makes kettle, but you nots want to drink from it. Silver dragon scales nice to look atâ€â€taste, ptooey! Not so good. |
| 91850 Here. Armor for you. |
| 91851 Look good. Try not to get dirty. |
| 91852 Can you make something of them? |
| 91853 A sword. |
| 91854 Armor. |
| 91855 A kettle. |
| 91856 Something useful. |
| 91857 So what can you make of it? |
| 91858 Let's go with the armor. |
| 91859 So what can you do with them? |
| 91860 Cook's Bodyguard |
| 91861 You have no business in the kitchen. Get out of here, now. |
| 91862 Move! You're in the way. |
| 91863 Why are you still here? Go away before I get angry. |
| 91864 What did I tell you? Get out! |
| 91865 Quiet! Jinga has ears everywhere. |
| 91866 Who? |
| 91867 Gul Dukeem |
| 91868 How did you end up here? |
| 91869 What is it you're looking at? |
| 91870 Can you help me in the next battle? |
| 91871 I think I need to go. |
| 91872 A gnomish weremole walks among us. |
| 91873 Muffins! |
| 91874 Muffins? What does that mean? Explain yourself. |
| 91875 This is making my head hurt. I need to leave. |
| 91876 Jinga told me you would say that. You have played right into her hands. |
| 91877 There are some muffins on that table... Uh, never mind. My capture, yes! I remember. I was being chased by a clan of vampiric kobolds. |
| 91878 The fiends took on many shapes: a passing wagon, uh, a basket of turnips, a hedgerow cleverly trimmed to depict the fall of the Netherese Empire. Ha! They were clever. But I saw through their disguises. |
| 91879 The bloodsucking kobolds took the form of a flying woman, a giant metal ape, a burning lizard, and their henchmen. They bound me, brought me here, left me at the mercy of the infernal weremole. I know you're there, Jinga! YOU CAN'T FOOL ME. |
| 91880 That was a nice story and not crazy at all. I would like to ask you some more questions. |
| 91881 I need some alone time after that... discussion. Bye. |
| 91882 Jinga's plans are intricate beyond understanding. You are hers to toy with. |
| 91883 The monsters. They're pretty! They remind me of my pet rat, Snuffy. |
| 91884 Oh, you had a pet rat. How nice. Tell me about it. |
| 91885 No. No. Just no. I'm not doing this. I'm leaving. |
| 91886 Snuffy works for Jinga now. |
| 91887 Nothing she said made sense, so I let her go. Nobody wants to listen to a lunatic. |
| 91888 Oh, that's too bad. Let's talk about something else. |
| 91889 That pretty much says it all, doesn't it? Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 91890 That's exactly what Jinga wants you to think. |
| 91891 Anything to shut the furniture up. I'm tired of all their stories. Oh yes, chair, I'm talking about you. Anyway, that'll be 1,500 gold pieces. |
| 91892 Uh. Okay... |
| 91893 I seem to be short of gold. I must be leaving. |
| 91894 On second thought, I've changed my mind. I must be going. |
| 91895 Wait, never mind. I'll ask Jinga to help me instead. |
| 91896 State your business and be off. I've matters to attend to. |
| 91897 I was hoping to ask you some questions. |
| 91898 I'd not keep you from your business. Farewell. |
| 91899 As if your pitiful affairs mean anything to me. Off with you. |
| 91900 May you find justice... or retribution, as the case may be. |
| 91901 You've a sharp tongue. Be careful. It might get you into trouble some day. |
| 91902 I shall give you some time. Prove yourself worthy of it. |
| 91903 How did you come to this place? |
| 91904 Would you be interested in helping me escape this place? |
| 91905 I am the most just and merciful Whitedove, Doombringer of Hoar. You may call me Mercy. |
| 91906 Doombringer of Hoar? Tell me of this. |
| 91907 Tell me what things might warrant your attention. |
| 91908 Very well, I shall leave. |
| 91909 Narcissistic AND deluded. A pitiable combination. |
| 91910 Violence repays violence. Evil repays evil. Good repays good. These are the tenets of Hoar, who brings justice and retribution to each according to their actions. |
| 91911 Well said. True justice must be done. |
| 91912 Allowances must be made for the context of one's actions. |
| 91913 I see. Tell me the just punishment for a man who kills his neighbor's son. |
| 91914 I'd like to discuss something else. Anything else, really. |
| 91915 I must be leaving. |
| 91916 Juvenile delusions, wholly divorced from any semblance of reality. |
| 91917 Swift and reciprocal reward and retribution is the foundation of civilized society. Perhaps we'll discuss Hoar's wisdom in greater depth another time. For now, I must attend to other matters. |
| 91918 Allowances? Excuses set forth to falsely acquit the condemned. Allowances exploit, pervert, and impede the course of justice. If you cannot see this, we've nothing more to discuss. |
| 91919 His neighbor must kill the murderer's son. Such is the swift and equitable vengeance of Hoar. |
| 91920 Killing the innocent son of the guilty man isn't a greater injustice? |
| 91921 I see. Let us speak of other things. |
| 91922 Your ideals' simplicity is exceeded only by their stupidity. |
| 91923 You speak in hypotheticals. I deal in reality. Show me this murderer, and I'll show you justice. |
| 91924 I am set apart to wander Faerûn. I seek those justice has overlooked, whether they be an impoverished farmer uncompensated for a wrong or a wealthy merchant who has escaped his just sentence through cunning designs. |
| 91925 As a Doombringer, I mete out justice in those places where lords and landowners have grown lax in their duty. I bring order to the rugged, careless roads where vagrants and ruffians know not the censure of the magistrate. |
| 91926 May we speak of something else? |
| 91927 An unenviable task, but I guess someone's got to do it. Thank you for your time. |
| 91928 Doombringer? Yawnbringer would be more accurate. |
| 91929 After listening to some of the others talking, I think we all came here in much the same way. The winged one's hunters ambushed me. I had just enough time to draw my weapons before I was overwhelmed. |
| 91930 Mark my words, those bounty hunters shall feel retribution in turn. Hoar is not unmindful of my fate here. |
| 91931 Yeah, that's pretty much how I came to be here too. Let's talk of other things. |
| 91932 Tell me more. |
| 91933 Thank you for the story. I must be going. |
| 91934 From the look of things, Hoar couldn't care less about your fate. |
| 91935 Ask me again after we've fought together in the arena. It is in combat that your worth will be determined. |
| 91936 Very well. Let's discuss something else, then. |
| 91937 Will you assist me in my next arena battle, then? |
| 91938 That's fair. I'll talk to you later, then. |
| 91939 You'll have no doubt as to my worth when this is done. |
| 91940 (Leave the bottle alone.) |
| 91941 (Open the bottle.) |
| 91942 1,500 gold pieces? A fair price. Here you go. |
| 91943 Eh, I need to go... |
| 91944 Eh, perhaps another time. |
| 91945 Fine. Here's your 100 gold. |
| 91946 Forget it. |
| 91947 Forget it. I shall not pay that amount. |
| 91948 Go ahead. |
| 91949 Here is your 15,000 gold, then. |
| 91950 Here is your 20,000 gold, then. |
| 91951 How about if I don't pay you 100 gold and instead agree not to kill you? |
| 91952 How did you earn these rings on your arms? |
| 91953 I'm leading a rebellion on these slaves' behalf. Surely you can waive such an exorbitant fee. |
| 91954 I am looking for a "special" ingredient for a drink I'd like to make. |
| 91955 Oh, I doubt that's true. I bet you've seen all sorts of things around here. |
| 91956 I'll need time to raise that kind of coin. |
| 91957 Let the uprising begin! |
| 91958 What do you mean, "myconids can't spit"? Fine. I'll spit in the potions myself, then. Now goodbye! *Achoo!* |
| 91959 Good evening to you. I am Naiman Alore. |
| 91960 <CHARNAME>? Guards? GUARDS! |
| 91961 Guards! Help me! GUARDS! |
| 91962 It is good to meet you, Rodesi. What can I do for you? |
| 91963 I do not consider myself particularly wrathful. I do have the honor of inscribing names in the Scroll of Divine Retribution. |
| 91964 You would have me remove names from the Scroll of Retribution? |
| 91965 None but the gods can bid me do that. |
| 91966 Why would they not contact me directly? |
| 91967 First you said you were here at the behest of the gods. Then you say you're here at Tyr's command. |
| 91968 This doesn't feel right. |
| 91969 No. No, I'm sorry, but I cannot do what you ask. |
| 91970 Get ready to eat your own fingers, scribe. |
| 91971 For a crusader of Tyr, I've plenty of each. Here, take them with my blessing. |
| 91972 Would that I could help you. But I am to use the ink and sand for nothing but the scroll. |
| 91973 I cannot allow that. Only I am permitted to use the ink and sand. |
| 91974 To the Abyss with you, secretary! |
| 91975 It is. |
| 91976 The pavilion is defiled! Guards, destroy them! |
| 91977 You threaten me? |
| 91978 May you fare well on the remainder of your quest. |
| 91979 In my years of service, I've learned better than to second-guess those above. Which names would you see stricken from the record? |
| 91980 V-very well. Whose name do you wish to see stricken from the scroll? |
| 91981 It is done. |
| 91982 No, please! I did what you asked! Guards, help me! GUARDS! |
| 91983 I shall tell no one, m'<PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 91984 Blasphemers are among us! Guards, kill them! Now, before they escape! |
| 91985 What� No! Guards! Help me! GUARDS! |
| 91986 I am unworthy of your praiseâ€â€but that won't stop me from accepting it. Good evening to you. |
| 91987 Good to meet you, Naiman. My name is <CHARNAME>. I bring you word from Tyr. |
| 91988 I am Rodesi Ponz. I bring word from Tyr. |
| 91989 You are the scribe of Righteous Wrath? |
| 91990 Soon you will be the corpse of Naiman Alore. |
| 91991 I've come to see two names removed from the scroll. <CHARNAME> and Dorn Il-Khan. I destroyed them both in Tyr's name. |
| 91992 I've come to see a name removed from the scroll. <CHARNAME>. I slew <PRO_HIMHER> in Tyr's name. |
| 91993 I am on a holy quest to gather several itemsâ€â€among them, ink and sand used in the writing of the Scroll of Retribution. |
| 91994 You can die for a start. Actually, that'll do for an end as well. |
| 91995 I've come to see two names removed from the scroll. <CHARNAME> and Dorn Il-Khan. I destroyed them both in Tyr's name. |
| 91996 I've come to see a name removed from the scroll. <CHARNAME>. I slew <PRO_HIMHER> in Tyr's name. |
| 91997 Tyr has sent me on a holy quest to gather several items, including ink and sand used in the writing of the Scroll of Retribution. |
| 91998 You'll also have the honor of striking a name or two. |
| 91999 Just one name. |
| 92000 Precisely. |
| 92001 That is the gods' will. |
| 92002 I'll do it myself if you'd like. Just give me some ink and sand. |
| 92003 Never mind. I'll do it myself. |
| 92004 I am here on their behalf. See, I have a sigil. |
| 92005 I am here on their behalf. |
| 92006 Give me some ink and sand, then. I'll make the changes myself. |
| 92007 I am your god now, scribe. Do as I command. |
| 92008 I know only what Tyr commanded me to do. Would you deny him? |
| 92009 You'd have to ask them. |
| 92010 I am contacting you directly, scribe. Do as you're told or even the gods won't be able to save you. |
| 92011 If it makes you feel better, give me some ink and sand, and I'll make the changes. |
| 92012 I cannot disagree. But when the gods command, I must obey. |
| 92013 You're going to feel substantially less right if you don't do what I tell you. |
| 92014 And I'm sorry for what happens now. |
| 92015 You're going to be considerably more sorry in a couple seconds, I fear. |
| 92016 I'm not asking, scribe. You will do as I command. |
| 92017 Tyr's blessing be upon you, Naiman Alore. |
| 92018 Many thanks, scribe. You've served Tyr well this day. Evening. You know what I mean. |
| 92019 I have blessings enough. It's ink and sand I need. |
| 92020 You're making a mistake, scribe. I beg you reconsider. |
| 92021 If I can't have the ink, I'll take your blood, scribe. |
| 92022 Is that your final word on the matter? |
| 92023 If I can't have the ink, I'll take your blood, scribe. |
| 92024 Then you leave me no choice. You brought this on yourself. |
| 92025 <CHARNAME> and Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 92026 <CHARNAME>. |
| 92027 Many thanks, scribe. You've done the gods a great service this evening. You should be proud of yourself. |
| 92028 It's not all that's done. |
| 92029 I thank you for your efforts and your discretion. Good evening. |
| 92030 You've done well. Now be a good little weasel and don't mention this to anyone else. All right? I'd hate for us to meet again under less pleasant circumstances. |
| 92031 And so are you. |
| 92032 The scribe tasked with writing names in the Scroll of Retribution is named Naiman Alore. I tricked him into erasing my and Dorn's name. |
| 92033 The scribe tasked with writing names in the Scroll of Retribution is named Naiman Alore. I... encouraged him to erase my and Dorn's name. |
| 92034 The scribe tasked with writing names in the Scroll of Retribution is named Naiman Alore. I... encouraged him to erase my and Dorn's name, then slew him to ensure that future revisions of the scroll don't include our names. |
| 92035 The scribe tasked with writing names in the Scroll of Retribution is named Naiman Alore. I... encouraged him to erase my name, then slew him to ensure that it doesn't reappear in future revisions. |
| 92036 From the Scroll of Retribution's scribe I acquired the ink and sand required to alter it. |
| 92037 As you near the Scroll of Retribution, you can feel its power rolling over you in waves. The divine wrath it represents is a palpable energy that fills the air of the Pavilion. |
| 92038 The names of those despised by the gods radiate from the scrollâ€â€your own among them. In your hand you hold the quill that can see it erased. |
| 92039 Your name is no longer written in the Scroll of Retribution. The will of the gods has been defied. |
| 92040 The air in the pavilion has changed somehowâ€â€your sacrilege has poisoned it, or so it seems to you. No one else seems to notice. |
| 92041 With your name removed, there is a space in the scroll in which you could inscribe another. |
| 92042 Tell me about Bannor's room. |
| 92043 Tell me about Dennaton's room. |
| 92044 Dorn's name is no longer written in the Scroll of Retribution. The will of the gods has been defied. |
| 92045 The air in the pavilion has changed somehowâ€â€your sacrilege has poisoned it, or so it seems to you. No one else seems to notice. |
| 92046 With Dorn's name removed, there is a space in the scroll in which you could inscribe another. |
| 92047 Tell me about Dormamus's room. |
| 92048 Tell me about Joker's room. |
| 92049 Your names are no longer written in the Scroll of Retribution. The will of the gods has been defied. |
| 92050 Tell me about Pol Pyrrus's room. |
| 92051 Tell me about Thassk Kun's room. |
| 92052 Your names are no longer written in the Scroll of Retribution. The will of the gods has been defied. |
| 92053 The air in the pavilion has changed somehowâ€â€your sacrilege has poisoned it, or so it seems to you. No one else seems to notice. |
| 92054 Tell me about the Winged's room. |
| 92055 With your and Dorn's names removed, there are spaces in the scroll in which you could inscribe others. |
| 92056 Again, you feel the air itself change as you thwart the will of the gods. Yet another empty space remains in the Scroll of Retribution, and you still hold the quill. |
| 92057 Dorn's name is still inscribed in the Scroll of Retribution. |
| 92058 With Dorn's name removed, the scroll has another blank space you could fill... if you dare. |
| 92059 The name is inscribed, and with it comes the knowledge that you must leave this place immediately. A dark hole is forming in the pit of your stomach as the air around you seems to curdle like milk. While no one else seems affected, in every fiber of your being you know that to remain in this place is certain doom. |
| 92060 That will be all. Thank you. |
| 92061 Your name is still written in the Scroll of Retribution. |
| 92062 With your name removed, the scroll has another blank space you could fill... if you dare. |
| 92063 The List? What's that? |
| 92064 A good idea, or so you think. Though no one else seems to have noticed, to you the atmosphere in the pavilion has been tainted in some way. It is only a matter of time before someone realizes that all is not right in the sphere of Lunia, and then all eyes will turn to you... |
| 92065 I need to finish something before we play our hand. |
| 92066 The newly inscribed ink seems to shine briefly, then fades, becoming as dull as the rest of the ink. The change has been madeâ€â€you must make your escape quickly, as news of your presence has undoubtedly spread. |
| 92067 Dorn's bloody path Success! My name has been expunged from the Scroll of Retribution. Now to escape Lunia before its denizens realize who walks among them. |
| 92068 What about Leokas? I paid him to aid us in this uprising. |
| 92069 What do you make of this place? |
| 92070 Do you erase your name? |
| 92071 Do you erase Dorn's name? |
| 92072 Do you erase your and Dorn's name? |
| 92073 Do you erase Dorn's name? |
| 92074 Not much more dangerous than the place I'm in already, I think. Now leave me, I would ready myself for the next combat. |
| 92075 Do you inscribe Yaga-Shura's name? |
| 92076 Do you inscribe Sendai's name? |
| 92077 Do you inscribe Abazigal's name? |
| 92078 Do you inscribe Balthazar's name? |
| 92079 Do you inscribe Melissan's name? |
| 92080 Do you inscribe Noober's name? |
| 92081 Do you inscribe Saemon Havarian's name? |
| 92082 Do you inscribe Ur-Gothoz's name? |
| 92083 Do you inscribe Azothet's name? |
| 92084 How may I help ya? *Achoo!* |
| 92085 I don't have 100 gold pieces on me. |
| 92086 Do you leave the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath? |
| 92087 Do you erase your name? |
| 92088 Do you erase the half-orc's name? |
| 92089 Do you erase it? |
| 92090 Do you command the entire guard around here? |
| 92091 Do you depart the Pavilion? |
| 92092 Here it is, then. Now hand over the rune. |
| 92093 I can give you 500 gold pieces. Is that enough? |
| 92094 Have you ever bored a <PRO_MANWOMAN> to death? Because you're about to. |
| 92095 No. We should strike Dennaton first. |
| 92096 I helped you once. Now I need you to help me. |
| 92097 I don't have time for this. |
| 92098 Let's get out of here. I'm burning from the inside. |
| 92099 There, it is done. Our mission is finished, and we should move quickly to leave. Cut down all who oppose us! |
| 92100 That half-orc! He is the one who corrupted the tree! Destroy him! |
| 92101 Come and try it! The gods can always use more martyrs! |
| 92102 Baldwin! Take the others and seal the portals. Lunia's invaders shall not escape our judgment. |
| 92103 We shall do so immediately, great oneâ€â€but it will take several minutes to seal all of them. |
| 92104 Closing the portals is but a precaution. Ixthezzys and I have no intention of allowing the blasphemers to reach them. |
| 92105 Quickly now, Baldwinâ€â€I can smell the fiends approach. |
| 92106 So! These are the intruders that would defile this holy realm. |
| 92107 You stink of lies, spawn of Bhaal. |
| 92108 "Would" defile it? We HAVE defiled it, you silver-scaled vermin. |
| 92109 Any who fall get left behind. Agreed? |
| 92110 I've never much favored the "leave no man behind" philosophy anyway. |
| 92111 That's the way the game is played. |
| 92112 You want to fight those things? You're going to get us killed, you gibbering baboon! |
| 92113 A fallen raven's no use to his flock. |
| 92114 Don't worry, Boo. No one will leave you behind. |
| 92115 You have doomed us all, <CHARNAME>. |
| 92116 We're gonna FIGHT those things? SERIOUSLY? |
| 92117 Don't talk to these silver-scaled vermin, <CHARNAME>. Kill them! |
| 92118 Count your blessings, snakes! |
| 92119 You were mad to come here, and madder still if you think you'll leave. |
| 92120 You will answer for your crimes. Your presence in this place is an affront to Tyr. |
| 92121 You murdered Bollard Firejaw. |
| 92122 You corrupted the Silver Tree of Life. |
| 92123 You slew the scribe Naiman Alore and countless others at the Pavilion of Righteousness. |
| 92124 How do you defend yourself, <PRO_RACE>? Can you defend yourself? |
| 92125 They speak the truth, Dolrassa. |
| 92126 You're wrong, Ixthezzys. Truth dies in their mouth. |
| 92127 Ao himself has commanded the gods not to interfere with the Bhaalspawn. |
| 92128 Then it's fortunate we are not gods. |
| 92129 As representatives of Tyr, our claws are bound. |
| 92130 Die for Ur-Gothoz, dragon! |
| 92131 Dragon's blood for my patron, Azothet! |
| 92132 Ugh! Get out of my sight, Bhaalspawn. And pray you never meet me without my better half to stay my holy flame. |
| 92133 You'll not leave this place. Not alive. |
| 92134 Ixthezzys and Dolrassa value their honor above all else. |
| 92135 I trust that Tyr will forgive the sins of those whose cause is just. |
| 92136 From Lunia to the Abyss, Tyr-lover! |
| 92137 My life would mean nothing if I let you walk away from this place. |
| 92138 Nooo! Dolrassa, my love! |
| 92139 Death to the defilers! |
| 92140 We're mostly done with the defiling. Currently, our goal is to exit this holy realm. |
| 92141 Us? No, no, I don't think so. You've mistaken us for someone else. |
| 92142 And you are the fools who think you can stop us. |
| 92143 Your sense of smell is keener than I had hoped. |
| 92144 I have no gold at the moment. |
| 92145 I prefer to think of it as exuding an air of exaggeration, but opinions vary. |
| 92146 I don't want your help that much. Farewell. |
| 92147 If you know my father, you know what I can do. Stand aside and I'll let you live. |
| 92148 We don't have time for this, Dorn. If they close the portals, we'll have no way to escape! |
| 92149 If we do this, we do it quickly. Anyone who falls gets left behind. Understood? |
| 92150 And we're about to defile it some more. |
| 92151 We don't have time for this, Dorn. If they close the portals, we'll have no way to escape! |
| 92152 I'll be going now. |
| 92153 If we do this, we do it quickly. Anyone who falls gets left behind. Understood? |
| 92154 After you, half-orc. |
| 92155 When you put it that way, not really. |
| 92156 Come and see, dragon. |
| 92157 Let me see your selection of magical trinkets. |
| 92158 The <PRO_SONDAUGHTER> of Bhaal doesn't answer to you, dragon. |
| 92159 He's right. Even Cyric left me to my own devices. |
| 92160 No. You just represent one. |
| 92161 Let me see what items you have for sale first. |
| 92162 Do you seriously want to cross Ao? |
| 92163 You think so? Gods might have survived this encounter. |
| 92164 Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all. I need to go. |
| 92165 You heard the dragons. Stand aside. |
| 92166 If I had a copper for every time someone told me that, I'd have... a lot of coppers. A LOT. |
| 92167 Try and stop me. |
| 92168 And you do not? |
| 92169 An admirable trait that all Tyr's followers aspire to, surely? |
| 92170 Never mind. Forget I brought it up. |
| 92171 If you don't value your honor, value your life. |
| 92172 No, I still need more time to raise that kind of coin. |
| 92173 Two silver dragons attempted to stop us from leaving Lunia. We barely escaped. |
| 92174 Two silver dragons, Dolrassa and Ixthezzys, sought to hold us off while Tyr's servants sealed all portals back to our own plane. After a mighty battle, the dragons fell, and we managed to escape before our exit was blocked. |
| 92175 Two silver dragons, Dolrassa and Ixthezzys, sought to hold us off while Tyr's servants sealed all portals back to our own plane. After a mighty battle, the dragons fellâ€â€but they took Dorn with them. I barely managed to escape before the exits were blocked. |
| 92176 Next round! (Slip the rat poison into Joker's drink.) |
| 92177 Two silver dragons, Dolrassa and Ixthezzys, sought to keep us from the portals back to our own plane. The blood of my father spared us from their wrathâ€â€but it was not enough to keep the other denizens of Lunia at bay. We barely managed to escape before all ways to the Material Plane were blocked. |
| 92178 Two silver dragons, Dolrassa and Ixthezzys, sought to keep us from the portals back to our own plane. The blood of my father spared us from their wrathâ€â€but it was not enough to keep the other denizens of Lunia from attacking. Dorn fell during the battleâ€â€I barely managed to escape before all avenues to the Material Plane were blocked. |
| 92179 Baldwin, take the others and seal the portals. Lunia's invaders shall not escape our judgment. |
| 92180 We shall do so immediately, great oneâ€â€but it will take several minutes to seal all of them. |
| 92181 Closing the portals is but a precaution. Ixthezzys and I have no intention of allowing the blasphemers to reach them. |
| 92182 Quickly now, Baldwinâ€â€I can smell the fiend's approach. |
| 92183 So! It is you who would defile this holy realm. |
| 92184 You stink of lies, spawn of Bhaal. |
| 92185 Next round! (Slip Brother Ellraish's poison into Joker's drink.) |
| 92186 You want to fight those things? You're going to get us killed, you gibbering baboon! |
| 92187 You have doomed us all, <CHARNAME>. |
| 92188 We're going to FIGHT those things? SERIOUSLY? |
| 92189 Next round! (Slip Feldrak's poison into Joker's drink.) |
| 92190 Next round! (Slip Gezzthemin's poison into Joker's drink.) |
| 92191 Next round! (Slip the Concocter's poison into Joker's drink.) |
| 92192 No, I'll just be going now. |
| 92193 Okay. I'm just going to be leaving now. |
| 92194 Death to the defiler! |
| 92195 I'm mostly done with the defiling. Currently, my primary objective is to exit this holy realm. |
| 92196 Me? No, no, I don't think so. You've mistaken me for someone else. |
| 92197 And you are the fools who think you can stop me. |
| 92198 Try and stop me. |
| 92199 Ghallus |
| 92200 I have nothing else to say. |
| 92201 There! There, it is him! I knew it! That is the half-orc that murdered me! |
| 92202 You tricked me at first, but I know my own killer's face. |
| 92203 You'll know it twice as well soon, fool! |
| 92204 Kill the defilers! Kill them! |
| 92205 I thought we'd sorted this out. |
| 92206 I will do as you ask. |
| 92207 This half-orc? No, no, I don't think so. |
| 92208 And I am the <PRO_RACE> that murdered you again. |
| 92209 Fortune did not smile upon us. Dorn and I encountered Bollard Firejaw again, and this time no amount of talking could sway him from the conviction (admittedly, an accurate one) that Dorn had killed him. A battle ensued, and Bollard felt death's embrace a second time. |
| 92210 Fortune did not smile upon us. Dorn and I encountered Bollard Firejaw again, and this time no amount of talking could sway him from the conviction (admittedly, an accurate one) that Dorn had killed him. A battle ensued that saw Firejaw die a second time, and Dorn along with him. Perhaps they will find peace in endlessly battling one another in some sort of after-afterlife. |
| 92211 Let's see what you've got. |
| 92212 Hurry, seal the portals! Dolrassa will be Oh no! The defiler approaches! |
| 92213 Then I'll leave you alone. |
| 92214 Hurry, seal the portals! Dolrassa will be Beware! The defilers approach! |
| 92215 You cannot escape, mortal. The portals have been closed. You shall not return to the Prime. Stand and die, in justice's name! |
| 92216 Damn you, <CHARNAME>! And damn me for letting you lead me to my doom! |
| 92217 Where are you from? |
| 92218 The portal shimmers and waivers. The point it leads to on the Prime Material Plane is visible on the other side. |
| 92219 The once shimmering portal closes! You are trapped in Lunia with no hope of escape. |
| 92220 Let me be blunt: If Tartle stays away from me, he'll live. If he tries to stop me, he dies. Got it? |
| 92221 You've seen my prowess in the arena. You know I am an instrument of death. If I were you and your soldiers, I'd want to stay on my good side. |
| 92222 We made it! I think we made it. We made it, right? I'm not just dreaming this as I lay bleeding to death in some higher realm, am I? |
| 92223 We are returned. I shall think long and hard before I follow you anywhere ever again, <CHARNAME>. |
| 92224 This raven has flown into the aether, touched heaven, and returned. |
| 92225 It's good to be back. Especially as something other than a pile of ash. |
| 92226 What would it take for you to support a rebellion against Dennaton? |
| 92227 It was a harrowing experienceâ€â€and a humbling one. |
| 92228 You always take me to such interesting places. Someday, I hope one of them isn't filled with people trying to kill us. |
| 92229 I went to Lunia... I've flown higher with you than I ever could with mere wings, <CHARNAME>. |
| 92230 Very well. |
| 92231 It's good to feel proper earth beneath my feet once again. |
| 92232 You chimps should count yourself lucky Edwin Odesseiron was there to help you through Lunia. |
| 92233 You want money from me? I don't think so. |
| 92234 That was an adventure straight from the pages of legend. Let's not have another like it ever again. |
| 92235 Boo knew where the Pavilion of Righteous Wrath was the whole time. The space hamster is no stranger to Lunia. |
| 92236 Hah! Who'd have thought a Bloodaxe would ever see the skies of Lunia? Not this dwarf, I'll tell you that much. |
| 92237 If he gets in my way, he's a dead halfling. |
| 92238 That was an ill-considered venture, <CHARNAME>. Do not involve me in its like again. |
| 92239 That was I mean, it's just Lunia, you know? WOW. |
| 92240 That was not a place mortals should walk, <CHARNAME>. I hope you know what you've done this day. |
| 92241 This whole adventure reminds me of the timeâ€â€no. We were in Lunia. There is nothing to compare to that, at least not anything I've known. |
| 92242 I'll do what I can. |
| 92243 I am returned to the Prime, with a tale to tell that is worthy of legend. I have defied the will of the gods and sullied the heavens themselves. |
| 92244 Hah! We've done a great thing this day, <CHARNAME>. We have defied the gods themselves and triumphed! I can scarcely believe it, but the divine blood spattered upon my hands is proof enough. |
| 92245 Hrmm. Let them come. They had a scroll with my name on it, but I've got a sword with theirs. |
| 92246 Mark my words, <CHARNAME>. A day is coming when the gods themselves will tremble to hear our names. I can feel it. This is only the beginning... friend. |
| 92247 Have a little faith... friend. I'm sure we'll think of something. |
| 92248 I'm sorry, I don't have 1,500 gold pieces at the moment. We'll speak again. |
| 92249 I wish that I could be as happy about that as you seem to be. We prevailed today, but the gods have long memories. |
| 92250 Not a bad day, to be sure. It won't be easy to top it. |
| 92251 What we achieved was more than a great thing. It is the stuff of legends. |
| 92252 Dorn and I have returned to the Prime with a tale that is worthy of legend. |
| 92253 Hold, <CHARNAME>. I recognize that half-orc. When I first heard the name, I suspected as muchâ€â€but this confirms it. An elder cousin of mine sits before us. |
| 92254 We are merely of the same tribe. Our blood relation is less... clear now that I know of his lineage. But I warn you, <CHARNAME>: While our human blood made both Gromnir and me outcasts in our own tribe, he was always different. He took to slaughter a little too eagerly. |
| 92255 Seriously? You're saying someone ELSE took to slaughter too eagerly? YOU'RE saying someone else took to slaughter too eagerly. |
| 92256 That I, of all people, say this should tell you something of Gromnir's depravity. He celebrated his victories in excessive and disgusting fashionâ€â€and bear in mind, I was told this by someone whose mouth was stuffed with raw pig fat at the time. The shamans didn't know what to do with him. He was eventually cast out. |
| 92257 I as well, <CHARNAME>. I as well. |
| 92258 Thanks for your help, but you didn't really expect me to let you live, did you? Die, fools! |
| 92259 Things are starting to unravel. If Gromnir makes an attempt on our lives, I will not stay my hand. |
| 92260 Without hesitation. Family has little value for me, and Gromnir has always been a poor brawler. Even now he holds his weapon foolishly, with a carelessly weak grip. Cutting him down will be a simple matter. |
| 92261 That will be all for now. Thank you. |
| 92262 Gromnir was less of a pushover than I had anticipated, and yet he was still a fool to stand against us. |
| 92263 Yes, Dorn. Tell us what cutting down a man who shares your blood is like. I'm sure <CHARNAME> has never experienced such a turn of events. |
| 92264 Hrmm. It is... strange. Family is of little consequence as far as I am concerned, and I have spurned closer relations in the past. And yet... <CHARNAME>, why does one surround themselves with allies, as you have with me? |
| 92265 I like your attitude. Would you be willing to fight with me during my next match? |
| 92266 Truly? I can say that you have indeed done so, then. But I have no interest in excitement for its own sake, or in entertaining lesser beings. If that is why you lead this motley band, then perhaps you and I are more different than I thought. |
| 92267 Hrmm. A rare showing of wisdom. You are powerful, <CHARNAME>. More powerful than I, though I am loath to admit it. Yet still you seek protection. I... believe I understand. A battle won with crushing victory is more satisfying than the one you lose by the width of a hair. |
| 92268 Yes! They are but tools, tools to be used! Exploited! You and I, we are artisans of destruction. We create art each time our swords are drawn. Those who would follow you are merely brushes used to create masterpieces. |
| 92269 Hah! <CHARNAME>, you and I know better than that. |
| 92270 You fear the calls of the night, the glowing eyes that gaze upon you from the darkness while you make camp? You disappoint me, <CHARNAME>. What tales worth hearing have your companions shared? Marital woes? Their god hasn't looked upon them kindly in the last while? Feh! Yours is a tale of deities and demons, of divinity itself! That you would turn an ear to the mewlings of such mundane creatures disgusts me. |
| 92271 You're related to Gromnir, a Bhaalspawn? |
| 92272 The blood of Bhaal courses through his veins; I know all too well what it can drive someone to do. |
| 92273 Let's go, then! Follow me! |
| 92274 You would stand against your own cousin? |
| 92275 How does it feel to have slain your own kin? |
| 92276 So that I may lead them on adventures the likes of which they will never see again. |
| 92277 For protection. There is safety in numbers. |
| 92278 I need their strength to accomplish my goals. |
| 92279 For companionship. The journey is long, and stories mixed with backtalk are the lifeblood of a traveler. |
| 92280 But Dorn, you follow me. Are you a tool to be used? |
| 92281 No. I need time to prepare. |
| 92282 Who are you two? |
| 92283 Two silver dragons attempted to trap me within Lunia. I barely escaped. |
| 92284 Two silver dragons, Dolrassa and Ixthezzys, sought to hold me off while Tyr's servants sealed all portals back to my own plane. After a mighty battle, the dragons fell, and I managed to escape before my exit could be blocked. |
| 92285 Rude! |
| 92286 Two silver dragons, Dolrassa and Ixthezzys, sought to keep me from the portals back to my own plane. The blood of my father spared me from their wrathâ€â€but it was not enough to keep the other denizens of Lunia from attacking. I barely managed to escape before all ways to the Material Plane were blocked. |
| 92287 That is very impressive. I would like to speak to you about something else. |
| 92288 Very well, I am ready for another match. |
| 92289 In the meantime, let me see your selection of magical items. |
| 92290 It's a surprise for one of the Planar Hunters. |
| 92291 Never mind. I'm leaving. |
| 92292 No, I still need more time. |
| 92293 I would know more about you. |
| 92294 I'll be fine. Thank you. |
| 92295 No chance. |
| 92296 This requires secrecy. |
| 92297 We need to kill the guards in the other room first. |
| 92298 What if I need to talk to you? |
| 92299 What's so valuable about his ring? |
| 92300 Actually, I do. |
| 92301 But before we begin, does the performer have anything to say to the audience? |
| 92302 Tartle must pay for his crimes. There can be no compromise on this. |
| 92303 Oh. Hello. You speak to me, I suppose? Salutations are certainly suitable in this social situation. Query me quickly. |
| 92304 Can I ask you a question? |
| 92305 Never mind. I must be going. |
| 92306 Great. Another fool infatuated with the sound of his own voice. |
| 92307 So soon? Has the entrapped expert elucidated entertainment in these halls of incarceration? Very well. Enjoy your enslavement. |
| 92308 Your banal beratements and barbaric bluster are of no consequence to a cultivated consciousness. Wicked words are wasted. Good day. |
| 92309 Who am I? I insist on immediate information illuminating your identity. Who are you? |
| 92310 Huh? What? |
| 92311 Who I am isn't as important as why I'm here. Answer my question. |
| 92312 I am <CHARNAME>. And you are...? |
| 92313 You think yourself clever. You aren't. |
| 92314 Have my multisyllabic musings mesmerized your miniature mind? My deepest regrets. I shall speak more simply in consideration of the diminutive degree of your deductive devices. |
| 92315 What profound perception you possess, my precocious performer! I know why you've been hauled to these halls, and that information is indeed more important than your identity. Now I shall give you mine. |
| 92316 <CHARNAME>. The rampant rumors of your recent residence are ratified. I am not surprised to see you here. Do not be shocked. My profession requires I know all persons of prominence and prosperity parading in the pit. Now you shall know my name. |
| 92317 I am the sultan of scholars! The regent of recorders! The baron of bards! Sought by pashas, kings, lords, and emperors alike to chronicle the conquests and catastrophes of our time. |
| 92318 I am the renowned, the beloved, the exalted, the inestimable Stannel Eibor! May you rejoice in the good fortune of meeting me in person! |
| 92319 I might do that later. Can I ask you a question? |
| 92320 Stannel Eibor? Never heard of you. Excuse me. |
| 92321 Stannel Eibor? Sounds like a disease. |
| 92322 You find my phonetics familiar? Please indulge my egotistic interest and inform me who speaks so similarly to this simple scribe. A king, perhaps? The lord of a great city? |
| 92323 Neither a king nor a lord. It was Baeloth the Entertainer. |
| 92324 It was a lord of pits such as these. Baeloth was his name. |
| 92325 If he was a king, then I dethroned him. It was Baeloth the Entertainer. |
| 92326 Yes, I remember now. It was the town idiot where I grew up. |
| 92327 Ah... Yes. Through a certain sister's second servant's son, we are somehow siblings. No doubt the similarity of speech springs from our sires. Baeloth is a gifted and generous businessman. You were lucky to have made his acquaintance. |
| 92328 That explains it. Can I ask you something else? |
| 92329 In my experience, siblings rarely speak so similarly. |
| 92330 A very... thorough answer. I must be going. |
| 92331 I see the surprisingly strong similarity of stupidity. |
| 92332 Extraordinary individuals exhibit extraordinary traits, and my antecedents were extraordinary in the extreme. Now excuse me, I have writing to attend to. |
| 92333 Psst! I set up that meetin' with the lieutenant. He's in the barracks. I can take you there if you like, or you can go on your own when you get around to it. |
| 92334 Please take me there now. |
| 92335 I'll go on my own. |
| 92336 Follow me. |
| 92337 So you're Brodle's friend, eh? The name's Leokas. What's this about? |
| 92338 I'm not a fool, mate. I know the game. This meeting never took place... for now. Whether that remains true or not depends on what you have to say. |
| 92339 No. The guards come from several mercenary corps Dennaton's hired. Each protects certain areas or take certain shifts. I command one such group. |
| 92340 Figured it'd be something along those lines from the way Brodle was talking. Let's cut to the chase. First, I'll need 100 gold pieces to guarantee I remain silent about this meeting. |
| 92341 You already agreed this meeting was secret. Why must I pay you now? |
| 92342 If I pay you now, what's to keep you from demanding another 100 gold in exchange for continued silence in the future? |
| 92343 Please, this is not the way for us to get off to a good start. If we are to work together, there must be trust. |
| 92344 Because I say so. 100 gold pieces and my mouth stays shut. |
| 92345 What's to keep you from demanding more in the future? |
| 92346 This isn't the way to get us off to a good start. If we are to work together, there must be trust. |
| 92347 Absolutely nothing. In fact, I'll remember that in case I lose big at cards tonight. Now pay up. |
| 92348 But you already agreed this meeting was secret! Why should I bribe you just to stay quiet? |
| 92349 Please, this is not the way for us to get off to a good start. If we are to work together, there must be trust. |
| 92350 All right, then. I'll forgo the cash... but my soldiers are another matter entirely. They're mercenaries. Money is the only thing they find persuasive. To guarantee their loyalty, you'll need to pay us more than Dennaton. 20,000 gold should cover it. |
| 92351 So much whining! Look, this IS about trust. If you can't pay me a paltry 100 gold, how can I "trust" you can get the coin required to buy my soldiers' loyalty? |
| 92352 Easy there. I was only kidding. Forget the 100 gold. But my soldiersâ€â€they're another matter. Money's the only thing they'll find remotely persuasive. You'll need to pay more than Dennaton. 20,000 gold at least. |
| 92353 Kill me and you'll be swarmed by so many guards your rebellion will be over before it begins. And my silence will now cost you 200 gold. |
| 92354 Fine. Here's your 200 gold. |
| 92355 I don't have 200 gold pieces on me. |
| 92356 Excellent! Now we can discuss business. Here's the bottom line: My soldiers are mercenaries. To guarantee their loyalty, you'll need to pay more than Dennaton. 20,000 gold should get the job done. |
| 92357 Then you've got a problem, friend. Go sell some equipment to the merchants or win some more prize money in the arena and bring me my fee. I'll be around awhile, but be quick. I'd hate to have to go to Dennaton with what I know. |
| 92358 That's a shame. I'm sure Dennaton will pay handsomely for the knowledge you're plotting to rebel. Think on it a bit. If you come to your senses, I'll be around... for a time. |
| 92359 By the Nine Hells, you sure are a silver-tongued devil. Look, my soldiers have to eat. I can cut the cost to match Dennaton'sâ€â€15,000 gold pieces. Anything less and my people would string me up! |
| 92360 Perhaps I could, but I won't. I've more sympathy for my soldiers than I do these slaves. We all have our lots in life. My followers' lot is to fight for pay. 20,000 gold buys our loyalty. |
| 92361 You do have a certain air about youâ€â€an aura of leadership that will doubtless rally the other slaves behind you. But I can't simply forgo the fee. My soldiers need to eat. I'll cut itâ€â€you just have to match Dennaton's pay. 15,000 gold pieces. |
| 92362 Sorry. Your record in the arena means little compared to the number of guards Dennaton has on hand. I'm willing to swing the odds in your favor, for 20,000 gold. No less. |
| 92363 A pleasure doing business with you. I'll go explain the new deal to my peopleâ€â€this coin will make the switch easier to swallow. We'll go about our business as normal for now, but when the uprising begins, we'll be there. Farewell. |
| 92364 Certainly. I'll be around. Come find me when you have the money. But know my soldiers won't fight for you if you don't deliver payment before the rebellion begins. Good luck. |
| 92365 That's a shame. I'll be around in case you change your mind. If you don't deliver the payment, however, I guarantee my soldiers won't fight for you when the rebellion begins. Good luck. |
| 92366 That's a shame, and after I cut you such a good deal. Well, I'll be around if you change your mind. The price is back to 20,000 gold, and no argument from you will get it lower. If you don't deliver the payment, I guarantee that my soldiers won't fight for you when the uprising begins. Good luck. |
| 92367 You're back, are you? Thought better of our meeting, or do you still plan to waste my time? |
| 92368 I just really need to be sure that you will keep this meeting a secret. |
| 92369 That depends. Do you command the entire guard around here? |
| 92370 I wouldn't want to waste your time. Farewell. |
| 92371 You're back. And you have my money? |
| 92372 Yes, here are your 100 gold pieces. |
| 92373 You're back. Excellent! You've brought my 200 gold? |
| 92374 I've got your gold. |
| 92375 Ah, the one I've been waiting for! Have you the 20,000 gold pieces that will win the loyalty of my guards? |
| 92376 Yes, here is your 20,000 gold payment. |
| 92377 Ah, the one I've been waiting for! Have you brought the 15,000 gold that will win the hearts and more importantly, the blades of my guards? |
| 92378 I have. |
| 92379 What're you lookin' at? You tired o' havin' eyes in their sockets? Because they won't be there long if you don't look elsewhere! |
| 92380 Why would you do something like that? |
| 92381 I'm guessing you aren't Dennaton's hospitality coordinator. |
| 92382 Never mind. I was just leaving. |
| 92383 If you want to reach my eyes, you are going to need a ladder. |
| 92384 Yeah, that's right. Walk away. It's the smart thing to do. |
| 92385 THAT'S IT! You just made the List! |
| 92386 Because I'm good at it. |
| 92387 Why don't you open your mouth and tell me what you want before I drastically change your outlook on the world? You got five seconds. |
| 92388 WHOA! Easy! I just want to know who you are. |
| 92389 I've a question for you. |
| 92390 Five seconds? Sounds like you're SHORT on time. |
| 92391 Feldrak Feldrak'i. "The Fiend," Dennaton calls me. You heard of the Mirabar massacre? That was mine. Murders of Malford? That was mine too. |
| 92392 The Drowning of the Deepwash, the Killing of Kingsdale, the Hanging of Hargrove, the Beating of Belverston, and the Burning of Browswaithe. All mine. All on the List. |
| 92393 That's... informative. May I ask you something else? |
| 92394 What about the Chokings on the Chionthar? Was that yours too? |
| 92395 You did all those, eh? Well, at least they were only LITTLE problems. |
| 92396 Nah, that was some gnome gang hopped up on turnip juice. Crazy buggers. Not right in the head. |
| 92397 There's something else I'd like to know. |
| 92398 Wait, aren't you a gnome? |
| 92399 Never heard of the List, huh? Not surprised. Most who know about the List end up on the List, and those on the List don't live long enough to talk about the List. That's what the List is for. Helps me remember who's getting "x-ed" next. |
| 92400 "X-ed"? what does that mean? |
| 92401 Why do most who know about the List end up on the List? |
| 92402 Can I ask you something else? |
| 92403 I'm guessing you use a list because your memory is as short as you are. |
| 92404 "X-ed." Offed, snuffed, permanently silenced, sleeping eternally, done in, resting in pieces, exterminated. It's what I do to those who get too curious. Got any other questions? |
| 92405 I do. For your benefit, I'll try to keep things SHORT. |
| 92406 Most people who know about the List hear about it from meâ€â€when I tell them they're on the List. Still feeling curious? |
| 92407 Actually, yes. I have another question for you. |
| 92408 No need to be SHORT with me. I was just asking. |
| 92409 Hospitality coordinator? You think that's funny? You watch your step. You're real close to making the List. |
| 92410 Whoa, easy! I just wanted to know who you are. |
| 92411 You sure do have a SHORT fuse! |
| 92412 You got a question for me? You got five seconds. Talk fast. |
| 92413 Who are you again? |
| 92414 Would you tell me a little about yourself? |
| 92415 Would you like to help me in my next fight? |
| 92416 I have the ingredients you need. |
| 92417 I could use your help with something. |
| 92418 ...A compliment. You really are rather a magnificently handsome creature. |
| 92419 Why d'you wanna know? |
| 92420 I heard you were a mercenary before you were brought here. |
| 92421 Talk about a SHORT temper! |
| 92422 I guess you could say that. I'll put it like this: When somebody's got a problem with somebody else, I get a message, some money changes hands, and the problem goes away. |
| 92423 Sometimes people don't even realize they are a problem. They end up on the List, the problem gets dealt with, and I get whatever happens to be in the problem's purse at the time. |
| 92424 So you do hired killings. |
| 92425 Well, at least your problems are SMALL ones. |
| 92426 Sometimes I'm hired. Sometimes I do freelance work on my own. You know, walk into a bar and find out the biggest guy in there happens to be in my seat. Nothing I can do but put him on the List. |
| 92427 Well, thank you for saying soâ€â€and allow me to commend your keen powers of observation. |
| 92428 So, you just kill for the fun of it? |
| 92429 And here's your stone. It's been a pleasure doing business with you. |
| 92430 I imagine everyone in the bar would be bigger than you. |
| 92431 I kill for a lot of reasons. Got any more questions? |
| 92432 No, I'm SHORT on time and must be going. |
| 92433 So I walked into this dump of a tavern in Luskan. Just finished three big jobs and had some gold to drink through. First thing I see is a great big guy at the bar. |
| 92434 He looked pudgyâ€â€slow, you know? Should've looked twice. Soon as I explained his newly acquired "on the List" status, he throws off his cloak and grabs me. In the tavern light, I saw him as clear as day! He was made of metal. |
| 92435 I must've stabbed him a hundred times! He just smashed me in the face a dozen or so times until I blacked out. I woke up here. Thanks for remindin' meâ€â€I need to put that guy on the top of the List. |
| 92436 I've another question for you, if you don't mind. |
| 92437 Sounds like a SHORT fight. |
| 92438 Sure. I'm in a killing mood. I'll meet you in the arena when it's time. |
| 92439 What am I, your mother? |
| 92440 I was just wondering if you knew where I could find some poison. |
| 92441 Actually, there is a slim chanceâ€â€no, I don't think so. |
| 92442 Maybe I do and maybe I don't. Sometimes I need assistance jogging my memoryâ€â€1,200 pieces of assistance to be exact. |
| 92443 1,200 gold? I can manage that. Here. |
| 92444 I don't seem to have enough gold. I must be going. |
| 92445 Never mind, I'm afraid your poison would be too SHORT-acting. |
| 92446 All right. I got most of what I need. Get me some wine vinegar and some rose petals, and we're set. Ah, don't look at me like that. You want the poison, you find 'em. |
| 92447 Heh. Ya found 'em. Didn't expect that. But fair's fair. I have a mixture almost ready to go. Let me just add these ingredients... and there we go. |
| 92448 Feldrak's Poison |
| 92449 Feldrak "The Fiend" Feldraki created this poison for use on Joker. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 92450 The Joke's on Who Feldrak knows how to make a poison that I could use on Joker. |
| 92451 The Joke's on Who I need to find rose petals and wine vinegar for Feldrak to make a poison for me. |
| 92452 The Joke's on Who Feldrak's created a poison for me. Now I just need to get Joker to drink it... |
| 92453 I have slain the tanar'ri Xachrimos. |
| 92454 We have slain the tanar'ri Xachrimos. Dorn now possesses the abyssal blade that will bind Ur-Gothoz to his will, as well as a summoning stone it had in its possession. |
| 92455 We slew the tanar'ri Xachrimos, but it cost us. I hope that in death, Dorn is finally free from Ur-Gothoz's manipulations. |
| 92456 The tanar'ri Xachrimos took us by surprise, but still we managed to defeat it. In exchange for its life, it gave us its abyssal blade, its summoning stones, and a great deal of gold I will never be able to use. This is what I get for bargaining with a demon. |
| 92457 The tanar'ri Xachrimos took us by surprise, but still we managed to defeat it. In exchange for its life, it gave us its abyssal blade, its summoning stones, and a great deal of gold I will never be able to use. That last bit it found tremendously amusing. I did not. The tanar'ri's not laughing anymore. |
| 92458 The tanar'ri Xachrimos took us by surprise, but still we managed to defeat it. In exchange for its life, it gave us its abyssal blade and its summoning stones. |
| 92459 The tanar'ri Xachrimos took us by surprise, but still we managed to defeat it. In exchange for its life, it gave us its abyssal blade and its summoning stones, after which we proceeded to kill it. |
| 92460 You should never have let me live, <PRO_RACE>! Now pay the price! |
| 92461 With Dorn dead and the tanar'ri Xachrimos slain, there is no reason for me to remain in Resurrection Gorge. |
| 92462 With the tanar'ri Xachrimos dead, Yarrow the dryad offered to transport us out of Resurrection Gorge. But Dorn still has business to attend to in the bole of the great tree. Yarrow supplied us with an acorn we can use to summon her when we're ready to leave this dismal place. |
| 92463 We could simply sacrifice one of these others. |
| 92464 Very well. Let it be done. |
| 92465 Such skittishness is beneath you, <CHARNAME>. But very well. We shall do as you suggest. |
| 92466 I think you value these others more highly than they deserve. But if you would see them spared, so be it. We will do as you suggest. |
| 92467 We could simply sacrifice one of these others. |
| 92468 I have uses for them. And we have the ability to find another sapient. |
| 92469 Could. But won't. |
| 92470 You defy me, half-orc? |
| 92471 I have uses for them, and we have the ability to create another candidate. |
| 92472 Could. But won't. |
| 92473 You defy me, half-orc? |
| 92474 The ritual Dorn wished to perform required the sacrifice of a sapient being. This was a step too far, even for me. Perhaps in death he will find the freedom he hasn't known in service to Ur-Gothoz. |
| 92475 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Fortunately, we have an expendable sapient being at handâ€â€Vernus the druid. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92476 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Fortunately, we have the skills necessary to raise an expendable sapient beingâ€â€Vernus the druid. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92477 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I chose Anomen Delryn. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92478 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Edwin Odesseiron was the obvious candidate. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92479 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Haer'Dalis met his end with the same air of resignation with which he lived his life. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92480 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I shall miss my little sister. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92481 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Jaheira should get the job done. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92482 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Physical stature not being a consideration, Jan Jansen should serve admirably. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92483 The ancient arcanist, Dulf Ebonbeard, is the supreme scriber of scrolls. Those who seek scrolls I send to that seasoned, sometimes seemingly senile soul. |
| 92484 What do you want? Er, I mean, greetings of the Vigilant One, Lathander, to you, blessed, uh, child. In what way might this humble monk be of service to you? |
| 92485 Hello. Who are you? |
| 92486 Isn't Helm called "The Vigilant One?" |
| 92487 Something funny's going on here. Are you sure you are a monk? |
| 92488 I must be going. |
| 92489 I'd sooner take financial advice from a beggar than a blessing from you. |
| 92490 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Korgan qualifies as such, if only barely. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92491 May Lathander watch over you. And remember, I'm always open to donations to, ah, further his work. |
| 92492 I'll slice you from belly toâ€â€ah, I mean, Lathander, god of the dead, will, uh, judge your words when you pass from this world and stand before him. |
| 92493 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Mazzy Fentan will be missed. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92494 Understanding comes only with time and many donations to the church of Lathander, the god of knowledge, understanding, and, ah... bountiful donations. |
| 92495 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I considered Boo for a moment, but I knew Minsc would sooner die than see the hamster slain. And so it came to pass. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92496 Uh... okay... can I ask you something else? |
| 92497 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Nalia de'Arnise died as she lived, helping others achieve their dreams. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92498 You are living proof that ignorance truly is bliss. |
| 92499 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. It seems Valygar's distrust of magic was well founded after all. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92500 Why? What've you heard? That is, I'm a monk of Lathander, of course. I am Brother Ellraish, a monk of the Sun Soul and follower of Lathander, god of nature and flowing rivers! All donations accepted. |
| 92501 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I decided Viconia would fill the role, though not without some reluctance. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92502 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I take some comfort in knowing that Neera need struggle no more. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92503 Good to meet you, Ellraish. May I ask you something else? |
| 92504 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Rasaad has finally made himself useful. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92505 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I chose Hexxat, who should be used to dying unexpectedly by this point. Soon, Ur-Gothoz will be bound to the will of his half-orc minion. |
| 92506 What are the donations for? |
| 92507 Donations? Sounds like a scam to me. |
| 92508 For the... ah... starving... children! Yes. The starving children. Yes! All donations accepted for the poor starving orphans of, er, Lantan. Think of all those destitute boys and girls shivering in the icy snow. |
| 92509 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Fortunately, we have an expendable sapient being at handâ€â€Vernus the druid. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 92510 Please, take these 10 gold pieces. It's not much, I know, but |
| 92511 Doesn't Lantan have a temperate climate? It doesn't snow there. |
| 92512 More likely the donations go to Brother Ellraish. What a sham! |
| 92513 10 gold? That's IT? I mean... please consider that the winter has been especially harsh this year. Surely you could spare some more. |
| 92514 Very well. Here is 100 gold. |
| 92515 Wait, Lantan has a temperate climate, does it not? It doesn't snow there. |
| 92516 Perhaps I could, but not for this sham of a charity. |
| 92517 Aha! Now I can buy that newâ€â€turkey. For the starving widows. Ahhh... Lathander's blessing on you. I must pray now! |
| 92518 Oh no! I assure youâ€â€it is quite cold there. Nothing but tundra yetis and floating chunks of ice. |
| 92519 That's terrible. Please accept 10 gold on my behalf. |
| 92520 I'd like to ask you something else. |
| 92521 You're as dumb as a tundra yeti if you think I'm buying that. |
| 92522 When the mouse enters his burrow, does he not find the seeds he has stored away for the winter? And does not the winter follow the fall? Therein lies the answer to your question. |
| 92523 That doesn't make any sense. |
| 92524 I don't know about mice and seeds, but you're nuts. |
| 92525 Of course! Why else would I have this shaved head? |
| 92526 But... your head isn't shaved. |
| 92527 A delusional monk. Just when I thought this place couldn't get any weirder. |
| 92528 It's a wig. I'm far too humble to display my deep devotion and piety to my fellow performers, so I wear a wig. |
| 92529 It doesn't look like a wig. |
| 92530 You may have something atop your head, but there's little inside of it. |
| 92531 Things are not always as they seem! Does an apple tree bear acorns? Does the bear resemble the walnut in the thicket when spring melts the winter snows? So it is with my wig. |
| 92532 That... doesn't make any sense. |
| 92533 That is quite possibly the most nonsensical statement that has ever reached my ears. |
| 92534 WHAT?! I meanâ€â€what can I do for you, my stray sheep? |
| 92535 Who are you, again? |
| 92536 Can I ask you some questions? |
| 92537 Brother Ellraish, I need some help dealing with a... delicate situation. |
| 92538 Brother, I'm in need of assistance. Would you help me in my next match? |
| 92539 I have the powdered quartz and rat droppings for the poison. |
| 92540 I've returned with the runestone you requested. |
| 92541 Lathander is "the Curious God"! Ask away. |
| 92542 Lathander's "the Curious God"? Are you sure about that? |
| 92543 Something funny's going on here. Are you sure you are a monk? |
| 92544 Would you mind telling me a little more about yourself? |
| 92545 Tell me how you came to be here, Brother Ellraish. |
| 92546 Consider this: You have come to me with questions, and I have spoken to you of Lathander, which has prompted more questions. |
| 92547 Yes, even as the egg reveals its secret in the summertime and blooms into a wondrous... butterfly, Lathander incites wonder and curiosities in his followers! Even as the honeybee causes the oxen to migrate west in times of drought, so Lathander reveals the deepest secrets and rewards his followers. |
| 92548 That doesn't make any sense. |
| 92549 Have you ever actually listened to what's coming out of your mouth? |
| 92550 I am a monk of the Sun Soul. I've taken vows of poverty, shaved my head, and now proclaim the wonders of Lathander, god of suffering! I also accept donations. |
| 92551 But... your head isn't shaved. You have hair. |
| 92552 Lathander's the god of suffering? I thought that was Ilmater. |
| 92553 Vows of poverty don't justify a tongue of stupidity. |
| 92554 Yes. Quite sure. God of suffering. |
| 92555 If you say so. I'd like to ask you something else. |
| 92556 I'll take your word for it. Well, no, I won't, but I will be leaving. |
| 92557 Of course! Anything for a donation. Uh, and to help a soul in need. What's the problem? |
| 92558 I need a poison. |
| 92559 I need to unlock the door to the Hunters' Lounge. |
| 92560 Poison? What would a monk such as myself know about poison? |
| 92561 I have 1,000 gold to spend on some poison. Are you sure you know nothing of poisons? |
| 92562 Surely a learned man like you knows something of poisons. |
| 92563 Bah! You are worthless. |
| 92564 WAIT! I have just had a vision from Lathander. I have been shown how to create a poison in return for your donation of 1,000 gold coins. She has shown me: I need some powdered quartz and rat droppings. |
| 92565 Very well, here is the 1,000 gold. |
| 92566 I'll return when I have the donation. |
| 92567 Powdered quartz and rat droppings? What nonsense. |
| 92568 Well... I may know something of them. Unfortunately, I am forbidden by my god to create them unless a donation of... say... 1,000 gold is made to the cause of Lathander. I'll also need some powdered quartz and rat droppings to complete the mixture. |
| 92569 Azothet tried to manipulate Dorn Il-Khan into turning on his patron, Ur-Gothoz. Instead, he used the tools she gave him on her. The marilith's power now belongs to Dorn; she is forever trapped within his abyssal blade. |
| 92570 1,000 gold. Here you go. |
| 92571 I don't have that much. I'll return when I do. |
| 92572 Powdered quartz and rat droppings? What nonsense. |
| 92573 Here's your poison. Pleasure doing businessâ€â€I mean, Lathander bless you. |
| 92574 I was investigating that vault near the merchant stalls. I heard there are powerful magical items in there... all for the Sun Soul brotherhood, of course! I wouldn't dream of breaking into it and taking everything for myself. |
| 92575 While engaged in a completely legal and legitimate investigation of a certain highly sought-after holy relic, I was captured by that unholy Winged and her bounty hunters. |
| 92576 I really don't mind. It gets me closer to the vault and the items inside... all for Lathander and the brotherhood, of course! |
| 92577 Flush with Azothet's power, Dorn demanded a sacrifice I was unwilling to make. He was... displeased with my decision. At that point, it was clear that one of us would not leave Resurrection Gorge alive. |
| 92578 Right. I would like to ask you something else. |
| 92579 You are the worst liar I have ever met. |
| 92580 Of course I would! Lathander is the god of battle and warriors, after all! |
| 92581 With Azothet's power now his to command, Dorn set about eliminating the last barrier to his total freedomâ€â€his patron, Ur-Gothoz. He has lost his dark paladin abilities, naturallyâ€â€but is free to roam where he may. What chaos and carnage he creates from now on will be in his name and his alone. |
| 92582 A VISION! I have had a vision from above! Lathander has revealed to me the location of a key to the Hunters' Lounge. He is the god of keys and opening doors, you know. Before I give it to you, though, Lathander has a task for you. |
| 92583 With Azothet's power now his to command, Dorn set about eliminating the last barrier to his total freedomâ€â€his patron, Ur-Gothoz. Ultimately, the glabrezu was too powerful to be defeated. Dorn is free of the demon's manipulations now, though not in the way he expected. |
| 92584 There is a certain runestone held by the illithid merchant. Lathander demands you bring me the stone before I can give you the key. |
| 92585 Lathander be praised! Here is your key. |
| 92586 I would have thought Dorn's patron, Ur-Gothoz, would be pleased to see an enemy like the marilith Azothet laid low by his servant. Instead, he was upset that Dorn pursued an agenda independent of his instruction. Fortunately, I helped the two of them talk things through. I believe they are on better terms now than perhaps ever before. |
| 92587 I would have thought Dorn's patron, Ur-Gothoz, would be pleased to see an enemy like the marilith Azothet laid low by his servant. It did not occur to me that the glabrezu would feel threatened by Dorn, though in retrospect, he was right to feel that way. |
| 92588 Brother Ellraish's Poison |
| 92589 With Ur-Gothoz's death, Dorn has lost his dark paladin abilitiesâ€â€but is free to walk his own path. |
| 92590 You received this poison from Brother Ellraish to use on Joker. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 92591 Key to the Hunters' Lounge |
| 92592 This key unlocks the door to the Hunters' Lounge upstairs. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 92593 I have met Brother Ellraish. A most unusual monk. |
| 92594 Brother Ellraish Brother Ellraish can make a poison for me, but he needs powdered quartz and rat droppings to do so. |
| 92595 Brother Ellraish I have acquired poison from Brother Ellraish. Now to get Joker to consume it... |
| 92596 Brother Ellraish Brother Ellraish claims he can get me a key to the Hunters' Loungeâ€â€if I give him a runestone from the illithid merchant. |
| 92597 Brother Ellraish Ellraish was as good as his word. I have a key to the Hunters' Lounge. |
| 92598 Gods! GODS! |
| 92599 Who's ever seen such a thing as that? |
| 92600 I'd not believe it if I'd not seen it with my own eyes. |
| 92601 It was an angelâ€â€an angel descended from the heavens and struck that man down. |
| 92602 Saemon Havarian, dead at an angel's hand. The Scroll of Retribution has done its work. |
| 92603 But it isn't, <CHARNAME>. The strong survive, as always. |
| 92604 Someday they will, <CHARNAME>. I'll tell them myself, as they kneel before me. |
| 92605 Unsettling, <CHARNAME>? Nay. Call it poetic, or glorious, or at the least, amusing. |
| 92606 What are you doing? Don't touch the bodyâ€â€it is cursed by the gods! |
| 92607 Do what you will, and let it be on your head. |
| 92608 What has happened here? |
| 92609 Such a thing as what? |
| 92610 A dead man? I've seen many. |
| 92611 Remember, that could very easily be us lying there. |
| 92612 Well. That's mildly unsettling. |
| 92613 If the gods only knew, eh, Dorn? |
| 92614 I am Hort Il-D'rth, First of the Bone Scars. My arms count twenty-nine scar rings. I am the many-scarred warrior of my clan. Three females lie in my hut. |
| 92615 My name is Hort Il-D'rth! First of the Bone Scars! No walls can contain me! |
| 92616 I would know more about you, Hort Il-D'rth, First of the Bone Scars. |
| 92617 What do you want of Hort Il-D'rth? |
| 92618 Nothing. |
| 92619 Hort does not speak to those who are without scars. |
| 92620 And you are female. Females are not warriors. They bear the children of warriors. |
| 92621 Mine-dwellers are the enemies of Hort's people. But this place is strange place. Enemies may become allies. MAY. |
| 92622 I have never seen a small man like you become a warrior of many scars. |
| 92623 They SAY you are a great warrior, but how do I know it is true? You do not wear the scar rings. |
| 92624 Prove yourself. Then maybe I, Hort Il-D'rth, First of the Bone Scars, will speak with you. |
| 92625 I do not like the idea of these trials, but I will fight hard, and I will survive. |
| 92626 You will soon realize I can hold my own in the arena. |
| 92627 Pray you never face me in the arena. I would enjoy shaming you. |
| 92628 Hort Il-D'rth, First of the Bone Scars, is eager to see that. |
| 92629 The anger in your voice is a warrior's rage. You may prove to be one still. |
| 92630 You do not wear the scars. Prove yourself in the arena! |
| 92631 Hort will join you the next time you enter the arena. |
| 92632 I see the scars of combat upon you. You are worthy of Hort Il-D'rth, First of the Bone Scars. |
| 92633 <CHARNAME>, what would you have of me? |
| 92634 I am the many-scarred warrior of the Bone Scars clan, and three females lie in my hut. My arms count twenty-nine scar rings. That is all that matters. |
| 92635 You fought well last time. Hort will fight with you againâ€â€but there must be gold this time too. |
| 92636 Here. 1,000 gold pieces. |
| 92637 It is possible. But first, you must take this oath: that you make those who hold us here your sworn enemies, and that when the day comes, you will stand by Hort's side when I deal them death's blows. |
| 92638 Then, once we are free, we will find their families, and burn their homes, and dig up the bones of their ancestors, and grind them to powder beneath our heel. Swear to this. |
| 92639 I swear it. |
| 92640 I live to be free again just like you. I will fight when it is time, this I promise. |
| 92641 The thought of revenge keeps me strong. I swear they will all suffer for what they've done. |
| 92642 I will not make such an oath. |
| 92643 Hort does not hear the warrior's anger in your voice. |
| 92644 You speak well, like a warrior of the Bone Scars. |
| 92645 One more thing is needed to seal our pact. On the outside, Bone Scars raid; we take what we need. Here, I must have gold to pay the merchants. |
| 92646 Here, take these 1,000 gold pieces. |
| 92647 Good enough. We will fight together next time you enter the arena. |
| 92648 Hort will not fight for you until you have the gold. But you have taken an oathâ€â€Hort will hold you to it. |
| 92649 As you wish. Hort Il-D'rth, First of the Bone Scars, will not fight with you for now. But you have taken an oath. You will be held to it. |
| 92650 I am from the land of the Bone Scars. The lands of our clan are the lands we take. That is our way. |
| 92651 And a savage way it is. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 92652 Hort Il-D'rth and his scar brothers raided a slave trader encampment near our lands. It was a trap. The slavers changed into the winged woman and her followers. They killed Hort Il-D'rth's scar brothers. |
| 92653 They surrounded Hort Il-D'rth, but not before I bloodied them. The Thayan was dying on his knees before me, which is the proper place of all Thayans. |
| 92654 I raised my axe high and screamed to Gruumsh that I was about to join him in endless war! The winged one and her followers were scared of Hort! They used magic to put me to sleep. They denied me a warrior's death. Cowards! |
| 92655 They captured me using similar tactics. |
| 92656 I was ambushed the same way, but my party survived. |
| 92657 So they outsmarted you. Not too hard to do, I think. |
| 92658 Then you know Hort's angerâ€â€the desire to deal death's blow to the winged one and her followers. |
| 92659 The winged female feared Hort and his scar brothers. Bringing us all here would have made these rooms flow red with blood. |
| 92660 The winged female was afraid to face Hort. Her only chance was treachery. She is a coward, and I will crush her. |
| 92661 Hort Il-D'rth, First of the Bone Scars, is a warrior. To be a warrior is to be free. Warriors do not fight in cages for the amusement of others. I will crush those who seek to deal death's blow to Hort, but the fighting here is meaningless. |
| 92662 Scar rings record a warrior's great deeds. They are carved with the warrior's own blade, still dripping with his enemy's blood. |
| 92663 Then we talk no longer. |
| 92664 I haven't time for idle talk. |
| 92665 Will you assist me in my next arena fight? |
| 92666 Can you tell me more about yourself? |
| 92667 Are you willing to help me escape? |
| 92668 My skills do not come free. I will assist you for no less than 1,500 gold pieces. |
| 92669 Done. Here is your gold. |
| 92670 And I will return when I've got that much. |
| 92671 Which skills are those? Your narcissism, your self-righteousness, or your ability to bore to death all within earshot? |
| 92672 What would you know? |
| 92673 I'd like to know more about your capture. |
| 92674 Tell me more about your past. |
| 92675 It is not my custom to share such information with strangers. Perhaps after I have seen your courage in battle, I'll be more willing to divulge my secrets. Perhaps. |
| 92676 Combat reveals many things about an individual. I would see more of you before I tell you more of myself. |
| 92677 As you wish. Let's discuss something else, then. |
| 92678 Never mind. The story would just put me to sleep anyway. I must be going. |
| 92679 You've proven yourself in combat and earned my trust. You've doubtless noticed that I spend many of my leisure hours observing the guards. I have heard their discussions and know their habits. |
| 92680 They have no particular loyalty to Dennaton and are mediocre warriors at best. |
| 92681 I have observed their sparring matches. They lack the skill necessary to defeat the performers' combined might. If we can weaken the winged one's bounty hunters, we may stand a chance. |
| 92682 Good to know. May we discuss something else? |
| 92683 I guess having no friends gives you plenty of spare time to observe such things. |
| 92684 I do not share this tale lightly. You fought by my side and proved yourself worthy of it. Consider it a high honor. Many who fought and died in my company knew nothing of my history. |
| 92685 My father was a Rider of Nesmé, honorable and well respected by all who knew him. He was a hero of many crusades against the monsters of the Evermoors and the Lurkwood. |
| 92686 For his valor, he was given command of a company of riders. The former commander, the son of a wealthy merchant, was displeased. He implicated my father in a deed of high treason and got him hanged. |
| 92687 Though I was little more than a girl, I hunted the man and killed him. Since then, I have sought to right other injustices rampant in the world. |
| 92688 I am honored you shared your story with me. I would like to ask you something else. |
| 92689 A moving story. I must be going now. |
| 92690 Wha... Oh? Are you finally done? By the gods, you're dull. |
| 92691 The winged one and her lackeys aside, none who live have heard the tale. You've earned it through the skill and valor you displayed at my side when we fought in the pit. |
| 92692 I received a mission. No, it was more than thatâ€â€it was a divine compulsion from Hoar. I was to travel to Mulhorand and investigate the priests of Anhur. Knowing Hoar's hatred toward the depraved Anhur and his followers, I hastened toward my destination. |
| 92693 On the trade road north of Skuld, I came across a scene of destruction and despair. A woman sat in the road, cradling a lifeless child to her bosom. Nearby, a man and young boy lay dead. |
| 92694 The woman could tell me little between her wails of despair. They'd been attacked by bandits who rode to the east. I soon discovered their trail. It was dusk when an ill wind blew from my back. I knew something was amiss. |
| 92695 The winged one and her henchmen had slain the travelers and left them there, knowing I was to pass. It was a perfect planâ€â€but they left me alive. I shall avenge the travelers and myself. They shall know justice. |
| 92696 Thank you for honoring me with the tale. May we speak of something else? |
| 92697 I am honored; however, now I must take my leave. |
| 92698 What a colossal failure! I wouldn't expect Hoar to come calling with any future missions. |
| 92699 Mercy Whitedove has told me that the arena guards have no particular loyalty to Dennaton and that without the Winged to back them up, they cannot stand against the performers. |
| 92700 I have met Mercy Whitedove. She is a self-proclaimed bringer of justice. |
| 92701 Mercy Whitedove has implied that she would be willing to share more of her past if I fight at her side in the arena. |
| 92702 Aye, slave. Ye need weapons, do ye? I've the best selection in the pits right here. |
| 92703 What's your story? |
| 92704 My story is I sell weapons! Now are you buyin' or walkin'? |
| 92705 (The wizened old man gestures to you, then sweeps his hand in the direction of the scrolls piled high on the table.) |
| 92706 Sure. I'll take a look at your selection of scrolls. |
| 92707 Don't like to talk much, eh? |
| 92708 (The man opens wide, revealing an empty mouth. His tongue has been cut out and most of his teeth removed. He grins toothlessly and again gestures to his pile of scrolls.) |
| 92709 Then I'll take a look at your selection of scrolls. |
| 92710 Hello! The name's Hue Greenleaf. I've got armor made by the finest smiths from Waterdeep to Kara-Tur! I've scoured all Faerûn for the very best, so buy with confidence! |
| 92711 As you wish. If we need to talk further, you know where to find me. |
| 92712 How'd you get here? |
| 92713 The same way as you, I imagine. But Dennaton allows me to leave occasionally, so long as I use my contacts to yourâ€â€and ultimately hisâ€â€advantage. So what can I give you today? |
| 92714 His advantage? |
| 92715 We're not to talk with the performers, and the guards are already eyeing me, but all right, here's how it is. Dennaton gets all our profitâ€â€everything above our procurement costâ€â€and we get to live. You win prize money in the arena, you buy from us, he gets the money back. It's a great deal for him. Now, really, are you going to buy? |
| 92716 ... |
| 92717 Hey, are you the same illithid from Baeloth's arena? |
| 92718 Shouldn't you be able to communicate telepathically? |
| 92719 Ah, <CHARNAME>, your mind is clear to me. I know you seek my rune to the vault so you may exchange it for the key to the upper floor. |
| 92720 So you CAN speak telepathically. |
| 92721 Are you going to give me away? |
| 92722 Well, that saved some time. What do I need to do to get it? |
| 92723 Ellraish does want it, but I'm actually here to shop. |
| 92724 Most of you slaves are so very uninteresting. Your recent discussions with Ellraish changes things. |
| 92725 So are you going to give me away? |
| 92726 What do I need to do to get your rune? |
| 92727 I'm really only interested in shopping. |
| 92728 No. I shall keep your secret. It suits my purposes to do so. |
| 92729 So what do I need to do to get your rune? |
| 92730 There is something I want even more than the rune. The ring of Stannel Eibor, the scribe. Bring it to me. |
| 92731 It is my price for the rune. That is all you need know. |
| 92732 You do not have the scribe's ring? Then we have nothing to discuss, unless you have come to purchase something. |
| 92733 Ah, I sense in your mind that you have the ring on you! Give it to me! |
| 92734 I have it. Now tell me why you want it. |
| 92735 Here it is. Give me the rune. |
| 92736 It will allow one person to escape this arena, assuming they know the activation phrase. I have seen it in the scribe's mind, but I'll not reveal it to you. The ring is worthless to you. |
| 92737 Why do you wish to escape? |
| 92738 I do not like being enslaved any more than you do. Now let us make the trade. |
| 92739 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. You have done me such a service that I might consider NOT eating your brain if given the chance! Now, unless you would buy something, our business is at an end. |
| 92740 I cannot wait to finally escape this madness. Until then, I shall be content to sell you my items at a discount. |
| 92741 Illithid's Runestone |
| 92742 This blackened stone is cold and flat, and it vibrates softly in your hand. A large, purple, gently pulsating rune has been carved into one side. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 92743 I've nothing to say to you, performer. |
| 92744 Quit bothering me! |
| 92745 Not nearly as rude as a sword in the face, which is what you'll get if you don't leave me alone! |
| 92746 What part of "I've nothing to say to you," don't you understand? Begone! |
| 92747 I'm not paid enough to associate with scum. Talk to Tartle. |
| 92748 Hey, I'm not scum! |
| 92749 If you need something, talk to Tartle. |
| 92750 Wow. I hurt a slave's feelings. That rips me up inside. Now bugger off! |
| 92751 Then you'll STILL need to talk to Tartle, because I'll not speak with you. |
| 92752 Watch your back, <CHARNAME>! You have obviously done well in the arena, but your little stunts before the fights have quickly put you on Dennaton's bad side. That's a dangerous place to be! |
| 92753 Ah, <CHARNAME>, the audience loves you, and so do I! What can I do for one of the arena's greatest champions? |
| 92754 You have done a fantastic job thus far. Our polling shows that you already have a small but rabidly devoted fanbase. Keep it up, and I'm sure you'll become one of the most beloved performers ever. Now, what may I do for you? |
| 92755 If it isn't the most vile, disgusting villain we've ever had here... I LOVE IT! Just keep it up! We have more advance bookings than we've ever had, and most of them from spectators desperate to be there the day you finally die. Now, what can I do for you? |
| 92756 Well, <CHARNAME>, I must say we've had more despised villains than you before, but you are well on your way to surpassing them! Just keep doing what you're doing, and I'm sure you'll get there. Now, what can I do for you? |
| 92757 <CHARNAME>, your prowess in the arena is unquestionable, but you really need to work more on your act. I don't know where to slot you right now. Are you a hero? Are you a villain? It's making it hard to sell you. Anyway, what do you need? |
| 92758 By the Nine Hells, some of these performers are getting a bit too big for themselves! I need you two to rough a couple of these gits up and really teach 'em a lesson! I'm thinking you can start with |
| 92759 Sorry, I don't think so. |
| 92760 Excuse me? You must not have heard what I said! I need you to |
| 92761 We heard you. The answer's no. Dennaton doesn't want his performers injured outside the arena. You don't like it, take it up with him. |
| 92762 Butâ€â€but you should HEAR what they've been saying about me! One of 'em just said I had the intellect of a knuckle-dragging ape! |
| 92763 That IS inappropriate! |
| 92764 Yes. It does a disservice to knuckle-dragging apes everywhere. |
| 92765 Aye, most of them are MUCH smarter than you. |
| 92766 Now just a moment! You mean you're going to let these performers show me that kind of dis |
| 92767 Yes. Yes, we are. |
| 92768 So shut your face. Dennaton hasn't prohibited roughing you up. |
| 92769 Butâ€â€but Wait 'til Dennaton hears about this! |
| 92770 You must be the new <PRO_GIRLBOY>. Has anyone spoken to you about the... particularities of their rooms? |
| 92771 You must be the new <PRO_GIRLBOY>. Have you been briefed on your duties? Do you have any questions? |
| 92772 All Sir Bannor's furniture is sculpted from granite blocks in order to accommodate his formidable size. Do NOT climb them. Anything else you need to know you can learn from his personal servant. |
| 92773 You can only enter Sir Pyrrus' room at his requestâ€â€a special key's necessary to open the lock. Even unlocked, his door can only be opened with great exertionâ€â€it is solid iron. Once inside, you will notice His Lordship likes his quarters warm, though not to same degree as Sir Kun. |
| 92774 Sir Pyrrus enjoys a certain amount of heat; Sir Kun likes things blazing hot. Don proper handwear when opening the door or you'll suffer severe burns. Don't be frightened by the fires inside; they pose no threat as long as you step carefully. The heat will... inconvenience you, however. |
| 92775 His Lordship's attendants are as numerous as they are lightly clad, but they are there for his enjoyment and his alone. Do not fraternize with them if you value your life. |
| 92776 Also, Sir Dormamus' door is magical; it is not opened with a key, but with a word. I gather it's supposed to be a secret, but everyone knows It's "swordfish." |
| 92777 Her room is a horrendous mess, most unladylike. Do not attempt to tidy itâ€â€it's full of... surprises. Unpleasant ones at best. At worst, lethal. |
| 92778 Another bit of advice: If Lady Joker ever asks you to fetch something from her room, insist she explain the door's exact opening sequence. Trust me on this. |
| 92779 The Winged is unlike any of her followers, or anyone else for that matter. Her Ladyship is quite the mystery to us. There is little to say about her room. It is clean and far from being as elaborate as her followers' quarters. |
| 92780 Our master's living quarters are richly decorated and as comfortable as any prince's. Only the most senior among us are permitted within. If you are allowed inside, handle everything with great care. |
| 92781 A performer up here? That's... unusual. Oh well. Please be discrete. You don't want to disturb Sir Dennaton or the Hunters. |
| 92782 A new <PRO_GIRLBOY>, I take it? Report to one of the other servants, if you haven't already. |
| 92783 Already have, thanks. |
| 92784 I will, thank you. |
| 92785 You've been allowed up here, slave, but we're keeping an eye on you. |
| 92786 Eeek! |
| 92787 "Swordfish." |
| 92788 Do you have the password? |
| 92789 Ah, no. I don't think so. |
| 92790 Do you have business with Master Dormamus? He's out at the moment. |
| 92791 Dormamus invited me to visit his beautiful quarters anytime, even if he's absent. |
| 92792 Dormamus asked me to get something from his room. I'll let him know you wouldn't let me in. |
| 92793 You'll need the password. |
| 92794 I'll come back. |
| 92795 Come in, please. Make yourself comfortable. |
| 92796 No, please don't! If Master Dormamus sent you, then all is well. Come in, come in. |
| 92797 Isn't this place beautiful? |
| 92798 Would you like to see me dance? |
| 92799 I think I'll go take a nap. |
| 92800 Anyone else hungry? I'm having some grapes sent up. |
| 92801 I hope the cook makes his famous mushroom soup again soon. |
| 92802 Would you like to brush my hair? |
| 92803 The silk on these cushions is itchy. |
| 92804 An ornate iron flask lies on the pedestal. Strange, hypnotic shapes whirl within the translucent metal. A hollow yell reaches your ears: "Let me out! Someone, let me out of here!" You recognize the voice of Najim, the djinni who tried to warn you of the Planar Hunters' attack in the tavern. |
| 92805 Najim, is that you? |
| 92806 Najim does not appear to hear or see you. |
| 92807 I am free! Thank you, <CHARNAME>! Now flee! Dormamus will have sensed my escapeâ€â€he'll appear any moment! |
| 92808 Too late! |
| 92809 Out to stretch your legs, Najim? |
| 92810 Pretty room you have here, Dormamus. Much better than the inside of that flask. |
| 92811 Your stroll is over. Back in the bottle with you. |
| 92812 No, no. Not again. It's YOUR turn. |
| 92813 You have betrayed our kind by aligning with this mortal, Najim. Your forget your first duty is to our great race. |
| 92814 You are one to talk, Dormamus. |
| 92815 You surround yourself with servants to forget that you are one yourself. |
| 92816 You serve the human Dennaton as I served Baeloth in the Black Pits. |
| 92817 I've chosen my path, and it is to help my friend. |
| 92818 You are without purpose. Go into the bottle. Reflect upon your destiny. |
| 92819 I will snuff out your spirit! I'll chase you down if it takes me to the end of time! |
| 92820 It is done. Dormamus will trouble us no longer. It saddens me to confine another genie thus, but he left me no choice. |
| 92821 His companions will notice he's gone. I will take his shape so they believe I am he. |
| 92822 Now, go back downstairs, quickly. You've done much to arouse suspicion already. |
| 92823 I will tell the guards outside that the sounds they might have heard coming out of this room were just those of I, Dormamus, being aggravated to extremes again by these vapid dancers. That should ward off inquiries for a while. |
| 92824 You might need help navigating the hallway out. Those traps are no match for Najim. When you're ready to go, "Dormamus" will be in the Hunters' Lounge. |
| 92825 The bottle is now filled with swirling flames and smoke. Smoldering red eyes glare at you, as if trying to burn through the bottle's iron. A voice filled with rage bellows: "I will find you Najim, you and the <PRO_RACE> you've bound yourself to! I will find you and watch you burn for eternity!" |
| 92826 I've heard tell of a performer with a drink I've yet to taste. Well, let's see it, then. Amaze me. |
| 92827 Here. Have a sip. (Slip Rat Poison in the drink) |
| 92828 Try some, I'm sure you'll be impressed. (Slip Gezzthemin's Poison in the drink) |
| 92829 Take a sip. I think you'll like it. (Slip Feldrak's Poison in the drink) |
| 92830 A tall order, but I'll do my best. Here, take a sip. (Slip Brother Ellraish's Poison in the drink) |
| 92831 Here it is. Have a sip. (Slip The Concocter's Poison in the drink) |
| 92832 Well, that was disappointing. Waste my time again and I'll make your death slow and entertaining. |
| 92833 Someone's challenged me to a drinking contest? Can this preposterous claim be true? |
| 92834 No, it's true. I can outdrink anyone, even you. |
| 92835 It's nothing more than a tale told for your amusement. |
| 92836 Grab a chair. I'll drink your skinny half-elf arse under this table. |
| 92837 Hah! You may last long enough for me to quench my thirst, but I'd not bet on it. |
| 92838 Bottoms up! |
| 92839 Let us begin, then. |
| 92840 Less talking, more drinking. |
| 92841 As I expected. You can barely hold your liquor. It is a marvel that one with such a frail constitution has lasted this long in the pit. |
| 92842 Pfah! This swill isn't fit for Stirv's puppies. I'll waste no more time here! |
| 92843 Still upright. Perhaps you're not as useless as those fools Pyrrus and Kun after all. Their constant bickering could drive one to drink. |
| 92844 They don't get along with each other? |
| 92845 Next round! |
| 92846 To put it mildly. Thassk was in the salamander armies and Pol was with Thay. Neither will let the war go. Why is my glass empty? |
| 92847 Not bad. Better than the time I challenged that adamantine fop, Bannor, to a drinking contest. He poured the finest Cormyrian Firedrake down his maw and it leaked out between his joints! |
| 92848 Hey, did you hear the story about Bannor? This is a good one. |
| 92849 This brilliant drow wizard placed his mind in an adamantine golem and then couldn't get it back out. And get this: He calls ME stupid. Another round! |
| 92850 Bottoms up! |
| 92851 I expected you to be on the floor by now. You're not what you seem, but who is? Take Dormamus, for example. He pretends to be bound in service to the Winged. The truth? He's free as the rest of us! |
| 92852 Really? Why? |
| 92853 Next round! |
| 92854 'Cuz it's funny! He's the only one in the crew with any sense of humor. C'mere. I've a joke for you. |
| 92855 Dormamus keeps the flask he used to trap that Najim right in his room! Hah! |
| 92856 Bring it on! |
| 92857 Very well. (Slip the poison into Joker's drink.) |
| 92858 Not bad. Not bad at all. Y'know, I once lifted flagons with th' Winged. Would you believe she can't hold her ale? Guess she wuz a celestialâ€â€a solar or planetar, some'n like that. C'mon. 'nother round. |
| 92859 The Joke's on Who I've successfully poisoned Joker. Now I must wait and hope the poison works. |
| 92860 The Joke's on Who I failed to poison Joker. I'll need another way to weaken Dennaton's enforcers before our inevitable confrontation. |
| 92861 Brodle! BRODLE! Where are you, you flea-bitten louse? |
| 92862 Yes, Tartle. What is it now? |
| 92863 It's the Winged! That dim-witted planetar and her crew have been gone much too long |
| 92864 Shh! Be quiet! If that gets out, how long do you think it'll be before someone takes advantage of it?! |
| 92865 You don't understand! Dennaton sent the Hunters after somethin' bigâ€â€really bigâ€â€and now he's scared they've all been killed! |
| 92866 Yes, I heard you. EVERYONE heard you. Control yourself! |
| 92867 Gods, can you imagine if the slaves heard about this? Once again, I have to think of everything around here! Now I've got to go rally the guards in case anyone tries anything! |
| 92868 Hmm... |
| 92869 Oh, <CHARNAME>, how fortuitous! The time to put our plan into action has arrived! Quickly, gather everyone in the performers' quarters. I'll meet you there. |
| 92870 Oh, <CHARNAME>, good. I just heard something that makes me believe we have a chance for freedom... if we're willing to seize it! Quickly, gather as many as you can in the performers' bunks! I'll meet you there. |
| 92871 How many more are there? A few in the arena, but most of us are here. |
| 92872 There's not as many here as I'd hoped, but we can't afford to wait any longer. Dennaton's in the arena overseeing a fight, but he won't be long. |
| 92873 I really think we should wait on backup. |
| 92874 Is rebelling a good idea? |
| 92875 What do you suggest? |
| 92876 No waiting. This is killing time. Let's go! |
| 92877 They are right. We should marshal all available resources. |
| 92878 Fortuneâ€â€and Tempusâ€â€favor the bold. The Lord of Battles will guide our blades! |
| 92879 I'm ready to crush and maim! |
| 92880 Wait? Well, who are we waiting on? A-a-are YOU the one we're waiting on? |
| 92881 That's not a good idea. The Planar Hunters have disappeared. Ha. Hopefully, they're gone forever, but we can't count on that. Dennaton's without his muscle. We must strike now! |
| 92882 I'm ready to crush and maim! More scar rings for me! |
| 92883 This is our best opportunity to be free. We should seize it! |
| 92884 Without a doubt. |
| 92885 Are you a coward or a fool, <CHARNAME>? You're clearly one or the other. |
| 92886 Don't listen to them! I've got a fever, and the only cure is bloodshed! |
| 92887 Re-rebel? Why? What� W-who are you? |
| 92888 I can't believe it! Baeloth's vanquisher wants to be a gladiator for life? Who are you, Haximus? We have to rebel now if any of us are ever to be free! |
| 92889 Remember the bargain we struck. Tartle is not to be harmed. |
| 92890 He won't be, I promise. |
| 92891 That deal was made yesterday. If he gets in my way today, he's finished. |
| 92892 Before we proceed, please, I beg youâ€â€if you find Tartle, do not harm him. |
| 92893 You'd save him even after the damage he's done to you? |
| 92894 He's still my blood. I must protect him. Please, don't harm him. |
| 92895 Bravo! Who's Tartle? |
| 92896 No promises! |
| 92897 Why would you agree to such a request? Tartle has made us all miserable. |
| 92898 If I find the little toad, I'll roast him with a well-placed fireball! |
| 92899 I'll flay the flesh from his bones and suck out the marrow! |
| 92900 Then I suppose I should be thankful that I struck the deal with our friend here! The vanquisher of Baeloth is the logical choice to lead this uprising. |
| 92901 Thank you! We should head to the barracks immediately. With luck, we can take the guards by surprise and eliminate them before they know what's happening. |
| 92902 What about Leokas? I paid him to aid us in this uprising. |
| 92903 That'll have to do. All right then, we should head to the barracks. With any luck, we can take the guards by surprise and eliminate them before they know what hit them! |
| 92904 That wasn't the deal! You said you wouldn't harm Tartle! |
| 92905 Alright, I'll keep my word. |
| 92906 I said I'll do what I can. |
| 92907 Not good enough! You must guarantee Tartle's safety if I'm to help you! |
| 92908 Very well. I'll not harm him. |
| 92909 I'll try to save him. I can't promise more than that. |
| 92910 If Tartle is harmed, you'd best pray we never cross paths again. For now, it seems I've little choice but to find him before you. |
| 92911 Before any of us. Whatever they would do to that toad is nothing compared to what awaits him at my hands. |
| 92912 I too will try to spare him, but I can make no promises. |
| 92913 I promise I WILL kill the worm if I find him! |
| 92914 Tartle, that little pig! I'll flay his flesh from his bones and suck out the marrow! |
| 92915 I think the more important question is... wait, what were we talking about? |
| 92916 Yes, I get the picture. I am left to my own devices when it comes to protecting my cousin. |
| 92917 I suggest we head to the barracks. If we're lucky, we can eliminate the guards before they realize what's happening. |
| 92918 Confrontin' Dennaton while leaving dozens o' guards behind us isn't smart. We'd be surrounded. |
| 92919 I obviously knew that you two had spoken, but I did not realize you had come to an agreement. It's too late to coordinate with him now. We will have to keep a lookout for him as we go and then hope he keeps his word. |
| 92920 Do as you must, but do not tarry long! Our opportunity may disappear at any moment! |
| 92921 Today we avenge the injustices done against us! Victory or death! |
| 92922 Finally it's time for blood! |
| 92923 Woohoo! Ha... ha... What are... ha... what are we cheering about again? |
| 92924 Time to send some fools to the afterlife. |
| 92925 Tempus, may you take pleasure in this day's battle! Help me stand true against my foes! |
| 92926 Enough words! Let's kill somethin' already! |
| 92927 That's the spirit! Let's go! IN ARVOREEN'S NAME, DEATH TO DENNATON! |
| 92928 Finally! I was beginning to think you'd had a change of heart! Are you ready? |
| 92929 The slaves are in revolt! Bar the door! |
| 92930 It's a rebellion! Sound the alarm and alert the captain! |
| 92931 You have this under control. I, uh, think it's best I remain unseen. Good luck! |
| 92932 Fall back! Man the barricades, lock down your positions! |
| 92933 Your little rebellion has come to naught, slaves! When the Hunters returnâ€â€or reinforcements arriveâ€â€we'll destroy you. Or maybe we'll just let you starve and watch you die slow! |
| 92934 Stormed the barracks, did you? It matters not. You're trapped and reinforcements will arrive any minute. |
| 92935 This door's lock has been melted into place, rendering it unusable. Another way must be found to open the door. |
| 92936 What's the matter, slaves? Nowhere to go? That whole rebellion thing doesn't look so good now, does it? |
| 92937 When reinforcements arrive, you'll be sorry. Then we'llâ€â€argh! |
| 92938 This is the moment we've been waiting for. Kill them all! |
| 92939 When reinforcements arrive, you'll be sorry. Then we'll |
| 92940 Oh, shut it, you ignorant cretin! Do you really think this door will stop us? |
| 92941 Look at that. Who'd have thought a swift kick to the frame would pop the door open? I've done my part, <CHARNAME>. I'll leave the rest to you! |
| 92942 There are two doors into that room. Which would be the easiest to take? |
| 92943 The guards expect a frontal assault. I'm sure they've prepared for such. |
| 92944 Perhaps Stirv's menagerie can be used against them. |
| 92945 There are enough of us to surround the guards. Why do we delay? |
| 92946 Smash the door! I'll crack their skulls like eggs! |
| 92947 I care not how the guards have prepared. I will unleash a torrent of slaughter upon them such as they have never seen! |
| 92948 I'll make a necklace of their ears! |
| 92949 Animals are as likely to turn on us as the guards. |
| 92950 But one would think the guards would have some way of opening any door here. What would they do if the slaves barricaded themselves in a room? |
| 92951 I remember my adventuring days. Vaguely. |
| 92952 The path through the kitchen is open. |
| 92953 We should fear neither option. Tempus stands with the brave. |
| 92954 That's right, finish them off! |
| 92955 Well met, <CHARNAME>. When I heard the rebellion was underway, I secured the barracks here. We're ready to take the fight to Dennaton! |
| 92956 Excellent. Where is he? |
| 92957 Still lording over the arena, I imagine. I doubt he heard the alarm signaling your rebellion over the crowd. We can probably catch him by surprise. |
| 92958 The captain thinks he can contain you here until reinforcements arrive. He's wrong. There are actually two ways into that room. |
| 92959 You can sweep through the kitchen to hit him from behind, but you'll have to deal with Stirv's beasts along the way. Alternatively, there's a lever in the corner over there that'll pop the door across the hall and allow a frontal assault, but beware: The captain'll be prepared for attacks from that direction. |
| 92960 Where's Dennaton? |
| 92961 Treacherous swine! To the death, then! |
| 92962 Are you ready to face Dennaton? |
| 92963 Yes. |
| 92964 You aren't coming with me? |
| 92965 Excellent! We'll hold this position to ensure you aren't attacked from behind. The matches are nearly over. You must act quickly. |
| 92966 News of our uprising must have reached the upper chambers by now. More guards will be coming. We'll hold this position to ensure you aren't attacked from behind. Are you ready? |
| 92967 Be quick. We haven't much time left. |
| 92968 Excellent. Let's get youâ€â€uh oh! Sounds like the matches are nearing an end. You'll have to act quickly to catch Dennaton. Let's go! |
| 92969 Thanks for all you've done, <CHARNAME>. Take this. My father gave it to me when I became a chef. Maybe it'll prove useful against Dennaton. |
| 92970 Thanks again, <CHARNAME>. I'd fight with you in the arena, but I'd only slow you down. |
| 92971 Marduuk's Mallet +3 |
| 92972 This is the "mallet" Marduuk uses when cooking, but it is little more than a piece of gnarled wood with a series of vicious-looking spikes carved into it. However, there's more than meets the eye here, for the mallet reeks of magic, and you feel powerful just holding it. Now it is suddenly clear why Marduuk's braised beef is always so tender.

| 92973 Go get 'em, <CHARNAME>! Strike a blow for us all! |
| 92974 Now is the time for destruction! Take this gift of Garagos so the slaughter won't be interrupted by tending to wounds! |
| 92975 The time has come for destruction and slaughter, <CHARNAME>! I envy you! |
| 92976 This is a time for heroes, <CHARNAME>. Tempus stands with those who fight honorably. Take these gifts, and strike true. |
| 92977 Tempus guide your blades. |
| 92978 I have little aid to offer you, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps these gifts will provide some small blessing. |
| 92979 Oy. I should lay off the ale! |
| 92980 Good luck facing Dennaton, <CHARNAME>! |
| 92981 Though you face Dennaton alone, you fight for us all. See justice done. |
| 92982 You hold all our fates in your hands. We are surely doomed. |
| 92983 If only I could be the one to crush Dennaton's skull. I envy you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 92984 Save Dennaton's eyeballs for me. |
| 92985 Huh? Well, they say you'reâ€â€you're going to do something dangerous. Whatever that is, good luck! |
| 92986 I would gladly join you and strike a blow against Dennaton's tyranny, <CHARNAME>. But judging by this motley crew, it is best I stay to shore up our defenses. |
| 92987 Heya! It is I, Noober! |
| 92988 You ignored me once. But no longer! |
| 92989 This is Noober's day now. |
| 92990 It has? Neat! |
| 92991 <CHARNAME>, help me, I beg you! I only ever wanted to be your frieAAAGHHH! |
| 92992 Face now the judgment of the gods! |
| 92993 Did he call you "<CHARNAME>"? |
| 92994 I know you, <PRO_RACE>. I know your work. Noober is not the only one who will face the gods' judgment this day. |
| 92995 I've seen you before... |
| 92996 You dare speak to me thus? Who are Wait. |
| 92997 He did. |
| 92998 He did, but I have no idea who that is. |
| 92999 You've done your god's work, planetar. Be on your way. |
| 93000 A word, <CHARNAME>? |
| 93001 I would have you know that I I |
| 93002 It cannot. |
| 93003 Now, <CHARNAME>. |
| 93004 Something has happened. My powers, they are diminished! |
| 93005 Ur-Gothoz is dead. I am a blackguard no more. |
| 93006 I am free. For the first time inâ€â€I know not how longâ€â€Dorn Il-Khan is free. |
| 93007 I did not do it alone. I'll not forget how you assisted me in Lunia. You will be rewarded, I promise you. |
| 93008 Hah! Our names will be remembered in legend, <CHARNAME>! The gods themselves do our bidding! |
| 93009 I'll not forget how you assisted me in Lunia. You will be rewarded, <CHARNAME>, I promise you that. |
| 93010 Silence, Azothet! You serve me nowâ€â€don't ever forget that. |
| 93011 Without me, you have no powers at all. You really don't understand, do you? |
| 93012 If not a blackguard, then what? Nothing but a half-orc wielding a sword of power he never earned. |
| 93013 You are joking, of course. What rewards have you to give, Dorn Il-Khan? You have nothing to offer anyone anymore. Nothing but what I offer you. |
| 93014 What is it, Dorn? |
| 93015 Can it wait? |
| 93016 Not right now, Dorn. |
| 93017 Are you all right? |
| 93018 You don't look so good, Dorn. I mean, you never look good, but right now you look even worse than usual. |
| 93019 Spit it out. |
| 93020 Enjoy it, my friend. You've earned it. |
| 93021 I sense the Scroll of Retribution at work. |
| 93022 Use it well. |
| 93023 Without me, you'd have no powers at all, you brutish lout. You don't understand, do you? |
| 93024 You are nothing now. Nothing. |
| 93025 Rewarded with a squalid death. Wait and see, <PRO_RACE>, wait and see. |
| 93026 What can I do for you, Dorn? |
| 93027 Not now, Dorn. |
| 93028 You don't look so good, Dorn. Worse than usual, I mean. |
| 93029 Yaga-Shura! Your crimes have been deemed great enough to earn the justice of the gods. Stand and die, in the name of Tyr! |
| 93030 Sendai! Your crimes have been deemed great enough to earn the justice of the gods. Stand and die, in the name of Tyr! |
| 93031 Abazigal! Your crimes have been deemed great enough to earn the justice of the gods. Stand and die, in the name of Tyr! |
| 93032 Melissan! Your crimes have been... What is this place? No. No, I cannot be hereâ€â€this is not allowed! |
| 93033 DORN IL-KHAN! Your name has been inscribed in the Scroll of Retribution. Now you will pay for your crimes! |
| 93034 Die, half-orc! |
| 93035 <CHARNAME>! What is happening here? |
| 93036 Curse your incompetence! I should have been the one to hold the quill. |
| 93037 You didn't remove my name from the Scroll? I'll have your head for this! |
| 93038 You left my name in the Scroll of Retribution? You treacherous bastard, I'll see you to the Abyss in pieces for this! |
| 93039 You are paying for your crimes, Dorn. |
| 93040 They must have learned what we did. |
| 93041 Isn't it obvious? |
| 93042 Noober! Your name has been inscribed in the Scroll of Retribution! |
| 93043 Azothet is dead. I am a blackguard no more. |
| 93044 Inscribing Saemon Havarian's name in the Scroll of Retribution had the desired effect. Better him than me. |
| 93045 We must speak, <CHARNAME>. |
| 93046 Your antics of late have pleased many, <PRO_RACE>. But they do not please me. |
| 93047 Your charity and heroismâ€â€your vanityâ€â€makes you weak. I'll not let you drag me down with you. We're done. |
| 93048 I'm a hard man, period. |
| 93049 We're finished, <CHARNAME>. |
| 93050 About what, Dorn? |
| 93051 If you give it a little effort, I'm sure you'll discover that we don't REALLY have to speak. Try it! |
| 93052 Speak, then. |
| 93053 I am sorry to hear that. |
| 93054 You're a hard man to please. |
| 93055 You're free to go if it pleases you, Dorn. |
| 93056 You want me to leave? You're making a grave mistake, <CHARNAME>. |
| 93057 You're a fool, <PRO_RACE>. I thought I might help you rise above your limitations. I see now I was wrong. |
| 93058 Mark my words, you will regret this. I am the only one with the strength to see you where you need to go. |
| 93059 Perhaps. I think the greater mistake would be allowing you to remain. |
| 93060 It wouldn't be the first. |
| 93061 My mistake to make, half-orc. Begone. |
| 93062 What do you want, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 93063 I bet you would. But I'll not preen and prance for the applause of strangers. Begone, <CHARNAME>. Come back when you're ready for the hard, dirty work of conquest. |
| 93064 Oh? And what makes you think I'd care to join you? |
| 93065 You call me a fool? |
| 93066 I'll give you a chance, <CHARNAME>. One chance. See that you don't disappoint me. |
| 93067 You make a compelling case. |
| 93068 Peace is not an option until all your enemies lie broken and defeated before you. |
| 93069 You have potential, though too often that potential goes unrealized. |
| 93070 That you'd even consider begging concerns me. |
| 93071 You tread on thin ice, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 93072 I would have you join me again, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 93073 World peace. To get it, I'm going to have to kill a whole lot of people. Help me. |
| 93074 I've people to slaughter, riches to steal, and power to obtain. Join me. |
| 93075 You don't want to join me? |
| 93076 Come on, Dorn. Don't make me beg. |
| 93077 You know what I have to offer. Don't be a fool. |
| 93078 Only if you're fool enough to reject my offer. |
| 93079 Not today, you manic, pink-haired pixie! |
| 93080 Um... uh... *cough* And, uh, that, ladies and gentlemen, was VICROSS, AUTHARCH OF PRIADOR! |
| 93081 It's not every day an autharch GRACES us with her presence! |
| 93082 Nor does she usually introduce fresh combatants to an ongoing battle before vanishing into thin air! |
| 93083 But we are HONORED! We are FLATTERED! We are READY TO SEE THEIR BLOOD! THANK YOU, AUTHARCH VICROSS! |
| 93084 It wasn't the autharch! Jinga did it! I just know it! |
| 93085 When I heard we'd be fightin' snake people, I expected a trick or two! But NOT THIS. Hold on a moment, I recognize that one! |
| 93086 I'll bake bread from their bonemeal! |
| 93087 That HALF-ORC sneers, and the arena SHUDDERS! You dare not look; you dare not look away! There stands a BLACKGUARD before us! |
| 93088 Behold the fearsome HALF-ELF! Do not be deceived by her pink hair; surely this is an ARCHMAGE that fights before us! |
| 93089 I know a foul berserker of hated Rashemen when I see one! That man is NO EXCEPTION! But what strange sequence of events would see such a monster fight with a HAMSTER at his side? We may never know the answer to that question. |
| 93090 The DRUIDESS calls on NATURE'S POWERS! Will Silvanus heed her call, or will she join the FALLEN?! |
| 93091 A lovely mage, her movements SWIFT and SPRY! Quivering with ARCANE MIGHT and quick as a fox, will her blades cut her enemies down to size? |
| 93092 A broken avariel who fights with both FAITH and FIREBALLS! This is a FALCON, not a DOVE! |
| 93093 The lovely DROW undoubtedly draws on DARKER POWERS! Do not stare OVERLONG lest she turn her eyes toward YOU! |
| 93094 Beware the GNOME and his CUNNING ILLUSIONS! What MYSTERY and KNOWLEDGE are locked within his BULBOUS NOSE? |
| 93095 A HOLY WARRIOR strides the arena floor! What STRANGE DUTY brings him here, and will he LIVE TO TELL THE TALE?! |
| 93096 A stern and silent WARRIOR OF THE WOODS! Watch his blade, my friends! It will strike fast! |
| 93097 A HANDSOME man of MARTIAL MIGHT and GODLY MAGIC! Combatants, guard YOURSELVES; husbands, guard your WIVES! |
| 93098 Look at the halfling lady-at-arms go! She carries herself like a PALADIN and fights just as FIERCELY! |
| 93099 Rarely has Thay seen a mightier DRUID OF THE WILDS! Is he MAN, or is he BEAST?! He SMELLS like BOTH! |
| 93100 A planeswalking BARD roams the Prime! Are his BLADES as quick as his BOASTS?! |
| 93101 A MURDEROUS DWARF is a welcome sight in any arena! Take COURAGE, my friends, and welcome the CARNAGE! |
| 93102 Another ARCHMAGE in the arena! Her bearing is NOBLE; let's see if her MAGICAL PEDIGREE is equally strong! |
| 93103 Seldom have I seen a WARRIOR as GRIM as this! His eyes FLASH like one who has GAZED INTO THE ABYSS! |
| 93104 Could it be?! A monk with fists as DEADLY as a POISON LOTUS? I see VENGEANCE in his eyes and BALDNESS upon his HEAD! |
| 93105 I hope you brought your WOODEN STAKES! It will take a bloodbath to satisfy the VAMPIRE VIXEN that fights before us! |
| 93106 Wait a momentâ€â€do my eyes DECEIVE ME? Could it BE? You know the TALES. You've heard the RUMORS. They were the short-lived HERO of Baldur's Gate, the VICTORS of the Dragonspear Crusade, and the SAVIORS of Suldanessellar! It's GORION'S WARD! |
| 93107 Planetar of Justice |
| 93108 No matter, I guess. That was a Red Wizard of Thay named Lanneth. That girl was a wild mage, like me. A mageling? I don't know. Anyway, Lanneth wanted to take her. |
| 93109 By Gond's britches, it's good to see you! Please get us out of here! |
| 93110 Knocktor! I'm SO glad you're alive. What do we have to do to get you out of there? |
| 93111 I'm not sure. Lanneth seems to use a certain sequence to open the cages. Do it wrong, and we all get zapped. |
| 93112 You don't remember the sequence? Not at all? Come on, Knocktor, it's important! |
| 93113 Everything's very hazy, unfortunately. But I think she always began with Amanis's cage. |
| 93114 Whoa! You're here, man! Thank the godsâ€â€I mean, thank the UNIVERSE! I knew that great big void was lookin' out for me. Gotta open the cage first, though. |
| 93115 Grrrr! Grrrrrragh! |
| 93116 It's so good to see you, Zaviak. I'm so glad you're alive and notâ€â€well, not in chunks. Can you help us figure out how to get you out? |
| 93117 I'm not sure, man. But hey, that crazy lady probably has some notes somewhere around, right? Oh yeah, one other thing. When she opened our cages, she always did mine fourth. Not sure why. |
| 93118 You there! Please help. I hate this cage! |
| 93119 Oh, thank Tymora! My Kirik lives, yes? Telana took him? Oh, thank the gods! We will be reunited. Please get me out! |
| 93120 Me cats... I must see them! Let me out, <CHARNAME>! Let me out! |
| 93121 I don't know who you are, but thank you for rescuing us. |
| 93122 I haven't been in a cage this long since... last month. |
| 93123 Me cats! Me cats need me! How long has it been since they were fed?! I need to get back to the Hidden Refuge NOW. |
| 93124 My... cats. I'm never going to see them again, am I? They wouldn't... know me anyway. Not after all I've been through... I... |
| 93125 We are elated! We would offer you three great treasures... if we could remember where we put them, hm. We are leaving this place forever! The end! Or should we say, "THE END??" |
| 93126 Good work, <CHARNAME>. When Telana escaped, I knew we had a chance! Damn that Hayes! He sold us out. |
| 93127 I heard him tell Lanneth he was heading back to Trademeet. I'd guess you could find him at Vyatri's, the inn there. |
| 93128 Indeed. That devil had a contract with Lanneth to sell us all, his wife included, for a mere 500 gold pieces. |
| 93129 As for me, I'll head back to the Hidden Refuge with the others and make sure we all get there in one piece. Thank you, thank you! |
| 93130 I must leave now! Kirik is waiting for me, I know it! Thank you once again, <CHARNAME>! You are a true hero! |
| 93131 Typical. They say they want to experiment, and then they leave you sitting in a cage. I suppose I'll head back to the Hidden Refuge now. |
| 93132 You did it, man! You really did it! I always knew you would. See ya back at the camp! |
| 93133 Thank you for rescuing me. I don't know who you are, but I owe you my life. Iâ€â€I suppose I'll follow the others wherever they're going. |
| 93134 AHH! Freedom! I only wish I could have crushed Lanneth myself. Farewell, <CHARNAME>â€â€I'll see you back at the camp. |
| 93135 Subject 42. Elf male. Alchemist. Wild magic infuses concoctions. (Compare to Subject 5.) Delusional, unusual speech patterns, expresses desire to see "Wilson," perhaps an imaginary friend. |
| 93136 Subject 9. Half-orc male. Strong evocation, tied to temperament? Violent, terse. |
| 93137 Subject was in violent rage. Struggled. Heeded our warnings about prison and desisted. Rage tied to surges? Investigate. |
| 93138 Subject struggled violently against prison despite our warnings. Killed by magical ward. Rage tied to surges? Investigate what remains of brain tissue. |
| 93139 Subject 55. Human Calishite female. Deep but untapped well of magical talent. Surprising mastery of surges. |
| 93140 Morose, stubborn. Does not yield to experiments. May have to use more severe measures. |
| 93141 Desperate, morose. Little will. Died after first experiment. |
| 93142 Subject 11. Gnome male. Wild magic discovered late in life. Erratic surges. Cantankerous, obsessive. Drugged. When not drugged, talks about cats incessantly. |
| 93143 Subject 5. Halfling male. Somehow uses wild magic in object creation. (Compare to Subject 42.) Sane but uncooperative. |
| 93144 Subject 34. Human Chondathan male. Moderate magical talent. Idiosyncratic tendencies consistent with other wild mages. One of our first casualties. Induced surge activity too quickly. |
| 93145 Subject 13. Human Chondathan female. Minor magical talent, good potential for growth. Normal temperament. Strong, healthy candidate for advanced experimentation. |
| 93146 Subject 69. Blue-skinned elf male. Erratic surges, moderate talent. Like many other wild mages, shows inclination toward performance. Unclear if wild magic manifests in speech pattern and/or coloration. |
| 93147 Died soon after delivery by Hayes. Rigorous but fruitless series of experiments. |
| 93148 Very promising subject. Skin and brain tissue both hold clues. |
| 93149 Open cage. |
| 93150 Leave cage. |
| 93151 All right, everyone! Listen up! You too, you... red-robed ninnies! Hehehehehehe... |
| 93152 Hear, hear! Our commander has something to say! |
| 93153 Aye, listen to the commander! |
| 93154 What is this? |
| 93155 You call me a ninny? You dare?! |
| 93156 We've lost too many. Some may say, "Tough luck, that's the work of a mercenary." But I say, "No, it isn't!" These wizards don't want us to fight for 'em. They want us to die! And what've we to show for it? Our purses are empty! |
| 93157 Aye! Wages first, dying later! |
| 93158 I am your commander, and as your commander, I SAY REVOLT! |
| 93159 Hurrah! |
| 93160 Hurrah! |
| 93161 You are surprised to see me? |
| 93162 Pleasantly surprised. How did you manage to find reinforcements? |
| 93163 Not so surprised. But how did you convince these guards to come? |
| 93164 Not at all. Thank you, Ghallus, and farewell. |
| 93165 It was not so hard. A minotaur attracts much attention in marketplace. Ha ha ha ha! |
| 93166 I told guards I was an escaped slave. They followed me back here. No, not followedâ€â€chased. But it work out in end. |
| 93167 When in cage, I dreamed of the land called Silver Marches. That is where I go now. |
| 93168 I trust you can finish off the witch. My part is done. Farewell! |
| 93169 You did well, stranger. The enclave was licensed to trade goods, not slaves. Take whatever you can carry; the city of Athkatla will seize the rest of the property to pay the Thayans' fines. |
| 93170 You look more than capable of handling that last Red Wizard. We must go inform the captain what's happened here. |
| 93171 Your attempts to sabotage this operation end here, <CHARNAME>. Do not look startled; do you think I have no idea who you are? |

| 93173 Do you think I care? I will stop you and drive the Order from Athkatla. |
| 93174 I'm not surprised you know who I am. I have a reputationâ€â€one that's well earned, I can assure you. |
| 93175 I admit it, I am surprised. How did you find me out? |
| 93176 You may try. I have made significant progress here. I'll not leave while there's still so much to learn. |
| 93177 You wretched, eyeball-hurting, finger-smelling witch! Where are they? Why did you do it? Just tell me that. Why? |
| 93178 I see you let the elf tag along. |
| 93179 This appears to be a key to the slave pens within the Red Wizard Enclave. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 93180 I'm a half-elf, and you bloody well know it. You're avoiding my question. |
| 93181 No malice motivates me, if that's what you believe. I do not hate wild mages. I am free of the passions that govern you. I would gladly do my research in a way that did not jeopardize lifeâ€â€either mine or my subjects'. |
| 93182 Regrettably, that is not possible, so I do what I must. |
| 93183 Your lack of compassion damns you. You will pay for what you've done. |
| 93184 It hardly matters how you thinkâ€â€or thought. Your time here is done. |
| 93185 That's the way I live too. And what I must do is kill you. |
| 93186 If you live beyond today, that reputation will become a liability. |
| 93187 Not everyone at your friend's refuge was as happy with it as she was. That hardly matters now, though. |
| 93188 Know this: If you interfere with me, you kill one enemy only to anger a host. I serve the autharch Vicross, appointee of Aznar Thrul, tharchion of Priador. The Order is the autharch's masterwork. |
| 93189 I'll not "interfere" with the Order. I will end it. |
| 93190 Even if all of Thay seeks to destroy me, I'll not hold back now. To arms! |
| 93191 I'm terrified. Really! I always smirk when I'm terrified. Nothing scares me more than a long list of ridiculous names. |
| 93192 Mock me if you must. Powers greater than mine will prove my words. |
| 93193 Not before powers greater than yours crush you. Let's do this. |
| 93194 Wait, wait! |
| 93195 Fadell? I thought you dead. You're just in time. Help me kill these intruders. |
| 93196 No, I'm... a... not here to kill 'em. I… phew! It's quite a walk from the bar. *burp* |
| 93197 Are you drunk?! |
| 93198 I'm here to kill you, Lanneth! We keep dying, and you keep throwing us at death without even the gold to buy 'im a drink. I'm here for my wages and a pint or so of blood for everyone I've lost. |
| 93199 You fool! These are the ones who killed your men at Delosar's! |
| 93200 They... What? They are? Bloody hells! Is no one worth nothing? Well, I wager they'll beat you to a pulp, witch. I wash my hands of you. Of ALL of you. |
| 93201 I AM FREE, WITCH! Your death will make that even sweeter. |
| 93202 I see you have succeeded in overturning the enclave entirely. Your... effectiveness is impressive, but you will not find the iron will of Thay so easy to break. |
| 93203 Mercenaries! To me! |
| 93204 I cannot die here! Perhaps a bargain can be made... |
| 93205 STOP! Put down your weapons and cease your spellcasting, or this wild mage dies. Let me pass and I will harm no one further. |
| 93206 Drop your weapons, and everyone lives. |
| 93207 We have no choice. |
| 93208 Yeah, and I totally believe you, too. |
| 93209 Never. You bargain with something that means nothing to me, Lanneth. |
| 93210 We forbid your surrender! Your king is too powerful to be contained here; we can use the bow of love to melt her heart! We can transform her into a mongoose and wrestle her to the floor! |
| 93211 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! |
| 93212 Thrice-damned fool! I told him the wards would kill him if he tried using magic. He ruins himself as well as me. Very well, then. |
| 93213 If you say so. |
| 93214 Let us fight. |
| 93215 Gramm? No! Don't touch him, Lanneth. Don't hurt him, please! <CHARNAME>, listen to her. |
| 93216 Not going to happen. Your word is worthless. |
| 93217 We forbid your surrender! Your king is too powerful to be contained here; we can use the bow of love to melt her heart! We can transform her into a mongoose and wrestle her to the floor! |
| 93218 Damn him! I told him the wards would kill him if he tried using magic. |
| 93219 Gramm, STOP! STOP!! Your Majesty, I beg you, cease casting your spell! The cavalry has arrived. The castle has not fallen! |
| 93220 They have? It hasn't? Then we are saved! We'll just wait here, then. |
| 93221 Now's our chance, <CHARNAME>. Get the witch! |
| 93222 NOOO! Gramm! |
| 93223 Now this is a fight, don't you think? |
| 93224 It's certainly better than the lastâ€â€minotaur versus halfling is good for a laugh, but I like real competitions. Still, that mercenary doesn't have a chance. What convinced him to take on Ghallus? |
| 93225 Desperation. Lanneth pays them next to nothing. I told him I'd give him a big sack of gold if he beat the minotaur. Watch that beast go! |
| 93226 Experienced gladiators WOULD make the best bodyguards, but they can't be trustedâ€â€especially Ghallus here. It's a pity, really... Oh, look! The mercenary's done for. You should have been honest and told him you'd give him a big sack for his body. |
| 93227 You! Mercenary? A customer to buy me? I am champion! I am Ghallus! The bloodlust is on me; buy me and I eat your heart. |
| 93228 I am <CHARNAME>. I am not a mercenary, nor do I want to purchase you. I would see you free. |
| 93229 Who I am is not important. What are you doing in that cage, Ghallus? |
| 93230 It is none of your concern. Farewell. |
| 93231 For five years I fought. Fought, bled, and won! No gladiator in Thay dare face me. Then, I escaped. Fled. But they caught me. Now I am here. No master in Thay want me. I am powerful! Dangerous! No one dare face me. No one dare trust me. |
| 93232 Let me help you. The lock is too intricate and the door too strong to open without a key. Do you know where it is? |
| 93233 I may be able to free you. I would like some information first, however. |
| 93234 I see. Thanks for the tale, but I have tasks I must do. |
| 93235 You would free me? Why? |
| 93236 I know nothing, only bars of cage and fights. |
| 93237 Very well. Perhaps I can help you. What must I do? |
| 93238 I could free you. But can I trust you? |
| 93239 In that case, speaking to you is a waste of my time. Farewell. |
| 93240 I want freedom. Trust that. If you free me, you need not fear me. |
| 93241 Find key. The witch Lanneth has one. There is at least one more. One of the wizards who watched me fight has key. I saw him put prisoner in cell. |
| 93242 Perhaps I can steal it from himâ€â€or force it from him. |
| 93243 This sounds like too much trouble. Farewell. |
| 93244 Yes. But even if doors are open, we are not free. The mercenaries kill us. I am strong. Others are weak. |
| 93245 You would prefer that I got rid of the mercenaries first somehow. |
| 93246 But what if I can't find a way to get rid of the mercenaries? |
| 93247 We must help! But I hope we can get those mercenaries to leave first. Otherwise there'll be more blood shed than there should be. |
| 93248 Yes. I kill many already. Will kill more if needed. But other slaves not so strong of arm or hard of heart. |
| 93249 I will do what I can. I'll be back shortly. |
| 93250 But what if I can't find a way to get rid of the mercenaries? |
| 93251 Then we will crush them together, while others flee. |
| 93252 But you would prefer that I somehow got rid of the mercenaries first? |
| 93253 If ye're gonna free that beast, I'd like to see what those drunken louts would make of 'im. A brawl, a brawl! I hope we git a brawl! |
| 93254 We should not free these slaves until we are sure they can escape safely. I'd rather not kill the mercenaries, either. Many doubtless deserve death, but some may not. |
| 93255 We shouldn't waste our time with this. Let's kill Lanneth and free the wild mages. THEN we can figure out what to do with the slaves. |
| 93256 These people need help just as much as the wild mages, Neera. |
| 93257 If we can clear this place of slaves and mercenaries, freeing the wild mages will be much easier. Besides, these people need help too. |
| 93258 I lead this group! Hush! |
| 93259 THEY'RE not being dissected. |
| 93260 Fine. Let's go. |
| 93261 Fine, but we still need to help them. Let's go. |
| 93262 FINE. |
| 93263 You MIGHT be right. I mean, I GUESS you're right... Okay, you're right. |
| 93264 You! You have come to free me?! |
| 93265 Yes. Here is the key. |
| 93266 Not yet. Where might I find the key? |
| 93267 Not yet. |
| 93268 Ah! This is good! |
| 93269 You have cleared our way. This too is good! Come, friends! We do not taste freedom now. We drink it! |
| 93270 The mercenaries still carry on nearby. Too bad for them. We will fight. Come, friends! We have a taste of freedom now. Soon, we drink deep of it! |
| 93271 Lanneth has one key. There is at least one other held by a Red Wizard. |
| 93272 I have another question for you. |
| 93273 Thank you. Farewell, Ghallus. |
| 93274 No more talk. Get key! |
| 93275 ...And then Ghallus brought his axe down, and it was over. |
| 93276 Violent. Bloody. Messy. A shame you missed it. Not as grand as the pits back in Thay, but a decent show nonetheless. |
| 93277 I'm sure we'll have plenty more chances to see bloody work. |
| 93278 Is that insolence I detect in your voice? |
| 93279 Forgive me, my lord. I spoke out of turn. I did not mean to |
| 93280 Ha ha ha! Leave him alone, Xaved. He's rightâ€â€we have much "bloody work" ahead of us. Speaking of which, we need to discuss the safety protocol in place to protect Lanneth while she's experimenting... |
| 93281 You a mercenary? Get back to the lounge. Only Fadell has permission to go beyond. |
| 93282 Back to your cups, sellsword. |
| 93283 Leave! Mercenaries are not permitted here. |
| 93284 When Lanneth runs out of wild mages, she'll start experimenting on us. Mark my words. |
| 93285 I shouldn't be here! How did this happen? |
| 93286 Remember the halfling they made fight Ghallus? I fear I'm next. |
| 93287 I hardly have the strength to stand. Who would buy me? |
| 93288 You! Have you come to get us out? |
| 93289 Yes, my <PRO_LADYLORD>? |
| 93290 Give me a drink. |
| 93291 I'd like to buy a round for everyone here. |
| 93292 Care to answer a few questions? |
| 93293 No, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. The mistress doesn't permit me to speak, except to take people's orders. |
| 93294 I'll have a drink, then. |
| 93295 Understood. Farewell. |
| 93296 Truly? That'll be 50 gold pieces. You're going to make a load of mercenaries very happy. |
| 93297 Actually, I've changed my mind. I'll get a drink for myself instead. |
| 93298 Here's the gold. |
| 93299 50 gold's a little too much for me, I'm afraid. Farewell. |
| 93300 Attention, everyone! This fine gentle<PRO_MANWOMAN> has purchased a round for the bar. |
| 93301 Hurrah! |
| 93302 That's a right noble <PRO_LADYLORD>. Ha! |
| 93303 Cheers, ladies and gents! |
| 93304 Thank you, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. A couple more rounds and they might even start to tip! They can hold their liquor, but three in a row usually does them in. |
| 93305 Another round? |
| 93306 Yes. Here's the gold. |
| 93307 I don't have quite enough. Sorry. |
| 93308 Your gift was most appreciated, my <PRO_LADYLORD>. |
| 93309 My <PRO_LADYLORD>! What... What is the meaning of this? |
| 93310 It means you are free. Go. |
| 93311 I shall do so! Thank you! |
| 93312 ...Well, as I said earlier, I heard you telling one of the other mercenaries you were upset about your wages being cut. |
| 93313 What of it? I meanâ€â€why do you wish to bring this up, my lord? |
| 93314 I could look into it for you. For YOU, I mean. No one else. You wouldn't even have to do anything for me. Not much, anyway. Nothing you wouldn't enjoy, I assure you. |
| 93315 I don't understand. |
| 93316 Yes, you do. Don't pretend you don't. |
| 93317 I'm in the middle of something here, mercenary. Begone. |

| 93329 You have made a wise decision. We will reach new and greater heights under my command. |
| 93330 I grow weary. |
| 93331 There are hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of people we could be slaying right now, and we do nothing! |
| 93332 It'll take more than a scratch to stop Dorn Il-Khan! |
| 93333 Very well. |
| 93334 Hrm. Yes. |
| 93335 I will take care of this. |
| 93336 You have a problem? |
| 93337 Kill them all and have done with it. |
| 93338 This requires a firm hand... |
| 93339 My people are old hands at this sort of thing. |
| 93340 Very well. |
| 93341 I look forward to it. |
| 93342 I will enjoy this. |
| 93343 Mind your tone. |
| 93344 It will be done. |
| 93345 Easily. |
| 93346 A waste of my talents, but so be it. |
| 93347 Ah! |
| 93348 Augh! Go ahead then, you gods of death! Take me! |
| 93349 So peaceful and serene it seems. It is a lie. The leaves and branches hide a savagery we sapients can only aspire to. |
| 93350 The city is no different from the forestâ€â€men, dwarves, elves, orcs... we are all beasts. Some just have stronger leashes than others. |
| 93351 Anything that gets in our way will be buried in this place's rubble. |
| 93352 Each day I live is another day I stole from the gods. |
| 93353 Glory awaits in darkness. |
| 93354 I've no use for the weak. We are better off. |
| 93355 You are going somewhere you do not want to be. |
| 93356 I am Dorn Il-Khan. I do as I will. You do not give me orders. |
| 93357 What would you have me do? |
| 93358 Hah! I'll rip you apart, you wheyfaced cur! |
| 93359 You were lucky then. But luck runs out. |
| 93360 Curse it! |
| 93361 I am not some beast of burden. I'll carry no more of your trinkets. |

| 93368 Most disagreeable. |
| 93369 Do not push me further. |
| 93370 NO MORE! |

| 93373 Contract |
| 93374 This document guarantees to the signer, GOODMAN HAYES, lately of the cities of Athkatla and Trademeet, 500 gold pieces for procuring information regarding the whereabouts and identities of all wild mages known to him. By signing this contract, he agrees to its terms, which specify that he must make a full disclosure of his knowledge to LANNETH FAR-SEER or her appointed agents; that he must not disclose his purpose to any other person or organization; and that his failure to comply with any of this contract's terms renders his own safety and security forfeit. By the seal of the tharchions affixed hereto, this contract is legal in Thay and will be strictly upheld by its representative abroad, LANNETH FAR-SEER. Signed, Lanneth Far-Seer Hayes Gul Dukeem, witness |
| 93375 Dear Lanneth, LONG SIGH. You know how I hate writing letters. Now that Ekandor's dead, I'm really, really hoping you can do better work. So far, we don't have much to show for the presence of our Order in the west. I heard you captured some wild mages; I was thrilled, believe me! Especially after what happened to Ekandor and the host we sent after the half-elf Neera. But then I heard you lost them somehow; I was unhappy all over again. Then I heard you caught another one! Then I heard you lost him. This dreary cycle is really taking a toll on me. It's nothing a little vacation won't cure, though. You'll be glad to hear that I'm coming for a visit soon. Within the next few months, I plan to visit Esmeltaran, Purskul, and Athkatla. I'm sure things will take a better turn before I get there. Oh! Let me tell you about the marvelous traveling bag I just commissioned for the trip: It's capacious, made of velvet (red, obviously!), and has a nice gold trim. I had your name embroidered into it, tooâ€â€just in case I need to bring your head back to Thay with me. Sincerely, Autharch Vicross Chief of the Order of Eight Staves |

| 93381 Ah, camp life. Unlike the rest of my elven brothers and sisters, I've never been one for isolating myself in the middle of an impassable wood. But, well, this wood is growing on me. |
| 93382 Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha! Oh, Daxus! You are a blast to have along. |
| 93383 I don't get it. What's so funny? |
| 93384 I agree. I suppose you've decided to stay with Telana, Daxus? |
| 93385 Really? You don't? It's justâ€â€Daxus is all blue, you know? Oh, so what's next, ya hilariously blue elf? |
| 93386 I'm not sure. |
| 93387 Telana mentioned heading back to Athkatla, but she's afraid of the Cowled Wizards. Who knows? A part of me wants to return to Delosar's, as I doubt the Red Wizards will be coming back to town any time soon. Another part of me has always found anonymity liberating. |
| 93388 I understand. Good luck with whatever you decide. |
| 93389 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. Farewell! |
| 93390 It's always good to see you, but shouldn't you be slaying something? |
| 93391 Thank you once again, <CHARNAME>. I have something for you. Hayes had it specially made when we had money, right after he discovered his powerâ€â€it cost him quite a bit. Now thatâ€â€now that I will never see Hayes again, I give it to you. |
| 93392 Thank you, Telana. I am grateful. |
| 93393 An impressive garment. Why would Hayes leave it behind? |
| 93394 A traitor's robe? This is your gift to me? |
| 93395 He didn't. I hid it when the Red Wizards attacked, knowing such a thing would be useful to them. He may have returned to look for it, or asked the Red Wizards about it. In either case, he was disappointed. |
| 93396 I am glad. |
| 93397 You obviously heard about Hayes. Are you all right? |
| 93398 I have something of Hayes to give you in return, actually. |
| 93399 No, Telana. That is all. Farewell. |
| 93400 If that is truly how you feel, I will keep it. I am sorry; I can offer you nothing of any greater value. |
| 93401 Fine. I will take it. |
| 93402 Keep it. I have no use for it. Goodbye. |
| 93403 Mostly, I feel guiltyâ€â€I was closest to him; I should have known what he was becoming, what he had already become. It is painful to think about. I can't even be angry, I'm so shocked. The anger will come soon enough, I suspect. |
| 93404 It's not your fault, Telana. Hayes did thisâ€â€Hayes alone. |
| 93405 Your position is a hard one, Telana. |
| 93406 As it should. He is beyond forgiveness. |
| 93407 Thank you for asking, <CHARNAME>. Iâ€â€I need to think on this. Farewell. |
| 93408 That woman has much to think about. I'd not be her for anything. |
| 93409 Treachery is a terrible thing, but the treachery of one to whom you have given your heart!â€â€that is something more terrible than words can convey. Telana's burden is a heavy one. |
| 93410 If I were her, I'd hunt him down. Not that I'd say that to her face. |
| 93411 You surprise me, wild mageâ€â€we so seldom agree! I too would have sought revenge, the moment I learned of his betrayal. |
| 93412 Note to self: Viconia agrees with me. Hm. I'm probably wrong about something. |
| 93413 What� What is this? This tunic belonged to Hayes! Did you kill him?! |
| 93414 It was the only just thing to do, Telana. |
| 93415 It was a mercy. He could not live with himself. |
| 93416 He attacked me. |
| 93417 He had it coming. |
| 93418 I know he deserved death. I do. But still, I did not wish him to have it. I know you thought telling me was best, but I would rather not have known. Please leave me. And no, I do not want that bloody rag. Keep it, toss it to the ground, do whatever you like with it. I will not touch it. |
| 93419 I cannot thank you for killing my husband, traitor though he was. |
| 93420 Perhaps you are right. |
| 93421 He must have been insane. He knows what you are capable of. |
| 93422 <CHARNAME>. It is good to see you again. |
| 93423 How are you, Telana? Is all well? |
| 93424 I have something for you. It belonged to your husband. |
| 93425 Yes. Knocktor and I are making arrangements to relocate soon. We would return to Athkatla. The Cowled Wizards may make life difficult for us, but not as difficult as the Order. Do not worry. We will find a place. |
| 93426 I am glad to hear it. Farewell, Telana. |
| 93427 Please, <CHARNAME>. Leave me to my thoughts. |
| 93428 This robe was fashioned for Hayes, the traitorous husband of Telana, soon after he discovered his talents as a wild mage. Very wealthy at the time, Hayes commissioned Halruaan wizards to craft it with silk, expensive dyes, and enchantments that would complement his unique talents. Unfortunately, he wore it only twice: Its richness and clearly magical nature attracted the attention of the Red Wizards who soon pursued him. He gave up using magic unless it was absolutely necessary, hid the robe away, and started wearing a simple tunic. His wife salvaged the robe and passed it on to <CHARNAME>.

| 93429 The BATTLE IS WON! Victory goes to the fallen hero of Baldur's Gate and their party! Fighters, report to the staging area IMMEDIATELY! |
| 93430 You heard 'im. Get to the stagin' area! |
| 93431 Why are you talking to me? Dennaton said report to the staging area. |
| 93432 Out of my face. |
| 93433 I hope you are ready. You will need to fight your way to Vicross and will not be able to rest once inside her estate. |
| 93434 I am ready. |
| 93435 No, not yet. We'll return in a bit. |
| 93436 Excellent. Remember, ring the Bell of Summoning once you are done. That is the only way I will learn of your success. |
| 93437 Splendid. You have done it, <CHARNAME>. For that, I thank you. |
| 93438 You're welcome, though it was our duty to begin with. |
| 93439 We did what we came to do. Please send us back now. |
| 93440 It was my great pleasure. |
| 93441 Your will is iron, <CHARNAME>; I cannot deny it. |
| 93442 Ah, yes. My end of the bargain. |
| 93443 Polite to the point of servility! A desirable quality in some, if not an admirable one. |
| 93444 But I'm afraid that, though you have done as I bid, I must now end your life. |
| 93445 What?! You betray me? |
| 93446 I knew this was coming. |
| 93447 Get on with it, then. |
| 93448 I needed you to take care of Vicross discreetly, so that no one might know my role in her demise. As long as you live, there is evidence against me. I must tie up all loose ends. |
| 93449 I should also add that the tales of your prowess were beginning to... disturb me. There are enough great powers in Faerûn; I care for no more rivals. |
| 93450 So your plan was to have us kill your rival's servant, weaken us in the process, then kill us in turn? |
| 93451 A devious plan that might have worked, had you used another as your catspaw. You will fall, Szass Tam! |
| 93452 Could we not come to some agreement? |
| 93453 Just so. |
| 93454 A cunning plan, but you must face me now. You will fall, Szass Tam! |
| 93455 I have the power of centuries at my fingertips, Bhaalspawnâ€â€you wield the power of a few paltry years. You will become dust, and I shall live onâ€â€as I ever have, as I ever will. |
| 93456 I like a good bargain, <CHARNAME>. Unfortunately for you, you've nothing to bargain with. |
| 93457 Very well, then. You will fall by my hand, Szass Tam. |
| 93458 Enough! You have done well, Bhaalspawn. I am impressed. I trust you will not return to Thay again, nor let others know of my part in Vicross's demise. Gather what you need from this place. I shall send you back to Tethyr. |
| 93459 Wh-what? You no longer wish to fight us? |
| 93460 So be it. I trust that you will not bother me again, either. |
| 93461 COWARD! We will finish this! |
| 93462 Gather your things before I change my mind. |
| 93463 Very well. |
| 93464 Are you ready to go? |
| 93465 Yes. Send me back to Tethyr. |
| 93466 No. I want to look around some more. |
| 93467 No… We end this, coward! |
| 93468 Good. Farewell, <CHARNAME>. We'll not meet again. |
| 93469 This is absurd! Haven't you taken enough punishment?! LEAVE... NOW! |

| 93477 You have returned, you have returned! I wish you all the best, <CHARNAME>. May the gods watch over you in your travelsâ€â€the good gods, anyway. |
| 93478 And you as well, Knocktor. What's next for you? |
| 93479 Thank you, Knocktor. Farewell. |
| 93480 I'll work with Telana to determine where we ought to go next. We have enough money to establish ourselves somewhere new, and if we all work together, I'm sure we'll manage. |
| 93481 I'm sure you will, too. Farewell! |
| 93482 Perhaps. Goodbye, halfling. |
| 93483 Thanks for all you've done, <CHARNAME>. |
| 93484 Of all who are here, <CHARNAME>, I am happiest to see you. |
| 93485 Thank you, Reginald. That is very kind of you. |
| 93486 Oh? Why is that? |
| 93487 I was foolish, and you were wise. I was weak, and you were strong. |
| 93488 You have been both teacher and savior. In return, I give you this. |
| 93489 An enchanted hammer? It's... it's really quite nice. |
| 93490 A brick attached to a pole. I... thank you. |
| 93491 If this is what you give teachers and saviors, what do you give casual acquaintances? Hot dung? |
| 93492 You are welcome! It is a small thing, thanks. |
| 93493 It is yours. It works good against magesâ€â€throw it sometime, you'll see. Best not throw it here, though. My thanks again, <CHARNAME>. Farewell. |
| 93494 No! They get small things of little value. Jeweled trinkets or gold. This is better. I made it with Knocktor! |
| 93495 Ah, my friend! We have so much to thank you for. Kirik has been playing <CHARNAME> versus Red Wizard ever since I returned; I am glad to see him so happy, but I hopeâ€â€well, I hope his life is not so exciting as yours. |
| 93496 He is just playing, Amanis! Besides, I rather like the idea of being a role model. |
| 93497 I hope so too, for his sake and yours. |
| 93498 Of course, of course! I did not mean to suggest that you were a bad influence! |
| 93499 Those are grim words, but after that ordeal, I think it is good to think of things realistically. |
| 93500 I think we will travel with Telana for a time. We have no place else to go. I do not feel very safe, but I would feel less safe alone. |
| 93501 May the gods watch over you and Kirik, Amanis. Farewell. |
| 93502 Safe travels, Amanis. |
| 93503 Keep in mind that your weakness may yet be your undoing. Farewell. |
| 93504 Thank you once again, <CHARNAME>! Tymora watch over you. |
| 93505 Hey! I heard about how you beat the Red Wizards! I'm gonna beat the Red Wizards too. Mama says I can't use magic, so I'm gonna beat them with a dagger to the back! |
| 93506 Hey! I heard about how you beat the Red Wizards! I'm gonna beat the Red Wizards too. Gonna use wild magic. Mama says they hate wild magic. |
| 93507 Do you think I'll win? |
| 93508 I'm positive you will! Just keep practicing. |
| 93509 I think your mother would prefer you keep out of trouble. |
| 93510 Not a chance. Steer clear of the Red Wizards, Kirik. |
| 93511 Yay! I knew you'd say that. |
| 93512 I'm going to go play with Mereth now. Bye! |
| 93513 I'm going to go play... by myself, I guess. I wish... I wish we knew what happened to Mereth. Bye, <CHARNAME>. |
| 93514 BORing! |
| 93515 Let's play! You be the Red Wizard, and I'll be the hero. |
| 93516 I came back and my cats were nearly skin and bones! Did no one think to feed them while I was away?! Some hero YOU are. |
| 93517 Sorry, Barad! I saw no sign of them. If I had, I would have done something. |
| 93518 I hope you're not serious. |
| 93519 Consider yourself lucky they live at all, you miserable wretch. |
| 93520 Well, I SUPPOSE I can forgive you, what with my rescue. W-what do you think, Lucy? Chanticleer? Ha! They purr. If they can forgive you, so can I. |
| 93521 Serious? Of course I'm serious! There's nothing more serious than cats in all the world. Now look: Nector yowling at you, and Eevo's back's all arched and bristling. THEY don't appreciate being taken lightly. |
| 93522 You're the wretch! What a thing to say! There, did you see that? Alter's tail just got all bushy, and she growledâ€â€and there's Divine hissing and spitting at you fiercer than any demon. |
| 93523 Now off with you. The cats and I have some catching up to do. |
| 93524 Haven't you already had enough thanks around here? Leave me be! |
| 93525 A tinny fanfare for you all! We are most pleased with your efforts. |
| 93526 Thank you. I'm happy to see you back here in one piece, Gramm. |
| 93527 It was truly an honor, Your Majesty. |
| 93528 Wonderful. A token of your gratitude, perhaps? |
| 93529 Hmm... Perhaps... Yes, you will do. Ahem! We are old. Our son, daughter, and wife are missing. We would name you heir, that our kingdom continues after our time has come. |
| 93530 Oh... Uh, I suppose. Yes, why not? |
| 93531 Though the crown be heavy on my head, Your Majesty, I will become your heir and reign when you are gone. |
| 93532 Sure. What's one more burdensome legacy? |
| 93533 Then we name you our heir, <CHARNAME>. Congratulations. Now leave me! We are still king, and we have many kingly duties. GOOD DAY! |
| 93534 Wow! You'll be a monarch some day. Don't let it go to your head... especially the way it went to Gramm's. |
| 93535 I'll never understand why people romanticize feudalism like they do. |
| 93536 You will need an advisor, heir to the throne! It is Minsc's opinion that hamsters make the best advisors. |
| 93537 Sorry. We are too busy reigning at the moment. |
| 93538 There ye are, there ye are! Have a pint with me, <CHARNAME>â€â€this is called Baldur's Grog. It's from Baldur's Gate, if you couldn't tell by the name. What do ye think? |
| 93539 A good, hearty brew. A little hoppy, but I don't mind. |
| 93540 It tastes... the way Baldur's Gate smells. |
| 93541 This is the worst swill I've ever tasted. |
| 93542 Why, you know your beers as well as I do! |
| 93543 Aye! That's its charm! |
| 93544 Then ye haven't drunk nearly enough swill in yer time. |
| 93545 I've been a'thinking. After I see these folks settled somewhere decent, I'll start me own brewery. There's not enough handcrafted beers in the world, ye know? When I do, I'll make sure to name a batch after youâ€â€<CHARNAME>'s Best, perhaps! |
| 93546 Perfect! I'm sure you can make it happen. Farewell for now. |
| 93547 Good luck with that. Farewell, Mironda. |
| 93548 As long as it tastes better than this stuff, I suppose I don't mind. Goodbye. |
| 93549 I raise a tankard to ye every night! |
| 93550 Hey, man! I just wanted to say I'm SOOO glad to be back here. I'm free as a bird now, thanks to you! |
| 93551 That you are, Zaviak. What's next? |
| 93552 You're welcome. |
| 93553 Free as a bird? I wouldn't say that. You've no place to go. |
| 93554 Ha ha ha! Who knows?! I go where the universe takes me. |
| 93555 The universe, in this case, being Telana and the others. |
| 93556 I see. Well, I wish you good luck. |
| 93557 You got it, man! |
| 93558 Aw, come on! Don't bring me down. I've got plenty of places to go. |
| 93559 This stone is gonna roll with Telana for a bit till we find someplace good. Then I'll settle down and get mossy... but that's a long ways away. |
| 93560 Thanks, man! |
| 93561 Till then, I'm gonna mix my brews, enjoy life, and do what I can for Telana. And hey, now that Hayes is out of the picture... |
| 93562 You think you have a chance with Telana?! |
| 93563 Tread lightly. Telana's still very hurt by what happened with Hayes. |
| 93564 Interesting choice. |
| 93565 Stranger things have happened, that's all I'm saying! Stranger things have happened. |
| 93566 I know, I know. She's pretty down. And honestly? I'm not sure I'm her type. But you never know… |
| 93567 Grrrrragh! |
| 93568 Telana sure is beautiful, isn't she? Wow, man. Just wow. |
| 93569 Yay! It's you! Telana told me you did it. You saved everyone! |
| 93570 I had some help. |
| 93571 That I did, child. |
| 93572 Why do YOU get all the attention? Mmph. But... it's true, Mereth: They ARE really good at saving people. |
| 93573 Someday, I'll save people too. |
| 93574 I'm sure you will, Mereth. Farewell. |
| 93575 That's great, Mereth. By the wayâ€â€your hair is looking really long! |
| 93576 I know! But Telana said if I want to save people, it might be better to keep it short because it could get in the way when I'm fighting. I can't decide what to do. |
| 93577 Grow it long for now. It'll be a while before you have to fight anyone. |
| 93578 It's up to you, Mereth! |
| 93579 Telana's right. I'd keep it short. |
| 93580 I'll think about it. Bye, <CHARNAME>! |
| 93581 I knew that, silly! I'm going to think about it later. Bye, <CHARNAME>! |
| 93582 You're the best, <CHARNAME>! |
| 93583 So... you found me. Well, I don't care... I don't care at all. Nope. Notâ€â€atâ€â€all. |
| 93584 Are you drunk, Hayes? |
| 93585 How could you betray everyone like that? Your own wife? |
| 93586 You'll care when you're choking on your own blood. |
| 93587 Drunk as can be. Hm. Drink's my element now. A fish has drink, a babe has air, but a guilty man needs both. |
| 93588 How could you betray everyone like that? Your own wife? |
| 93589 The guilty man also needs a sword through the gut. |
| 93590 I see. I will leave you in your misery, then. |
| 93591 My wife? Bah! She cared more for wild mages than for me. We used to have EVERYTHING. A nice place in town, a good business... I wasn't giving up much, betraying her; I had nothing left to give. |
| 93592 So I traded nothing for 500 gold pieces. And I'm going to use it... mmph... to buy more nothing. |
| 93593 I'll give you something. Prepare to die. |
| 93594 That's pathetic. I'd kill you, but death would be too much of a mercy. Goodbye, Hayes. |
| 93595 NO! I won't let you kill me! I'm gonna live, damn it, even if it means I live for naught! |

| 93599 This simple tunic belonged to Hayes, the man who betrayed the mages of the Hidden Refugeâ€â€including his own wife, Telana. To repay him for his treachery, you killed him in Trademeet. Telana may appreciate knowing what happened to her husband and would certainly recognize this tunic as his. |
| 93600 Mechanical Bird |
| 93601 This mechanical bird is made entirely of brass, except for its eyes, which are tiny, dark blue glass beads. It is small and seems fragile, but its delicate wings and beakâ€â€all of which open and closeâ€â€prove quite resilient to jostling. It sings a tinny melody from time to time. Neera fabricated the bird with the help of Knocktor the Fizzled, the wild mage artificer. There is surely some minor magic or cantrip at work in it. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |

| 93610 Lanneth's Journal |
| 93611 This battered, leather-bound notebook contains a number of entries in a barely legible scrawl. The book is filled with numerous observations ranging from the mundane ("Everything tastes better with cheese") to the arcane ("While it's clear to me the Weave might better be described as a pool, or even an ocean of mystical energy, it's equally clear that this obvious parallel will never be acknowledged by the sorcerous establishment."). In among these entries is the proper order to safely open the cages of Lanneth's imprisoned wild mages. According to her notes, Subject 55 should be released first, followed by Subject 13. They are to be followed by number 11, then 42. The journal is vague on what will happen should the cages be opened in the incorrect order, calling such a circumstance "unfortunate and certainly to be avoided." |

| 93614 Green Dragon Potion |
| 93615 This curious brew was crafted by Zaviak, a Wild Mage and alchemist who has, perhaps, experimented a little too much with his own product. Zaviak explained the potion would make its drinker "really strong," but neglected to mention a number of at best distracting, at worst positively horrific, side effects like the utter, inescapable awareness of one's existence as an insignificant speck in the vastness of the multiverse. Zaviak's got some real issues, man. STATISTICS: Strength: 25 Intelligence: 3 Constitution: 3 User is slowed for the duration of the spell. Duration: 24 hours Weight: 1 |

| 93626 Good. There you are. |
| 93627 Greetings. I am Szass Tam. No need to introduce yourselves; though I am the zulkir of necromancy, not divination, I know a thing or two. And now that I've seen Vicross's wild magic, I know a thing or two more. |
| 93628 A pleasure to meet you. Where is the announcer? |
| 93629 Szass Tam?! THE Szass Tam? |
| 93630 I don't care who you are! What in the blazes is going on? |
| 93631 Szass Tam. One of the most vile beings in Thay! Die, fiend! |
| 93632 We are off to a good start. Politeness goes a long way with me. As for Dennatonâ€â€his part in this is over. I told him to direct you here. |
| 93633 Indeed. |
| 93634 Well then, Szass Tam, it is a pleasure to meet you. But I was supposed to meet the announcer, I believe? |
| 93635 You are one of the most vile beings in all Faerûn! |
| 93636 Itâ€â€it is truly an honor. |
| 93637 It is good of you to say so. You will find that politeness goes a long way with me. |
| 93638 You live because I desire it. It is in your best interest that this desire lasts as long as possible. Politeness goes far with me. |
| 93639 Uh, pardon, then! You mentioned Vicross. Do you know her? We need to find her! |
| 93640 It is of Vicross that I would like to speak. It appears you and I have something in common, half-elf. |
| 93641 I'm guessing it's not the basis for a lasting friendship? |
| 93642 Quite right. I discovered long ago that hatred is an unstable foundation for most human attachments. Luckily, I stopped being human soon after. |
| 93643 Hatred is, however, reason enough for alliances of convenience. You and I both want Vicross dead, Neera. And you, <CHARNAME>, are my chosen instrument of her destruction. |
| 93644 What has Vicross done to you? Why do you want her dead? |
| 93645 Why not kill her yourself? You seem more than capable. |
| 93646 And if I choose not to do as you wish? |
| 93647 Her teleporting into the arena startled everyone, myself included. Her being there did not surprise me so much as the manner of her arrival. She has been clever, but I know wild magic when I see it. |
| 93648 Wild mages have no place in Thay. One holding high office is a travesty. |
| 93649 Yes, SO much better... Uh, sorry. Politeness. Right. |
| 93650 Thay is hardly unique for putting ancient, half-dead men in positions of power. |
| 93651 Calm yourself. |
| 93652 You will do as I bid. You have no choice. |
| 93653 Why do you want Vicross dead, again? |
| 93654 Why can't you do this yourself? |
| 93655 No choice? What do you mean? |
| 93656 I am willing. |
| 93657 You vile monster! I will do this, but be glad that I already sought Vicross's death. |
| 93658 A wild mage holding office in Thay is a travesty. Red Wizards do not practice wild magic. |
| 93659 You, the perfect tools, have fallen right into my lap. I am not so foolish as to cast such a gift aside. Or, to be more accurate, to kidnap, torture, and publically execute you. |
| 93660 But I am a civilized man, so I give you the freedom to choose. You may do this thing, or be tortured and executed. |
| 93661 I cannot act openly against her. She was appointed by a rival of mine, Aznar Thrul, the zulkir of evocation. Vicross cannot hide her wild magic now, but if she remains alive, Thrul still has a chance to distance himself from her. I would see her destroyed, and I would see him shamed. |
| 93662 If she dies soonâ€â€and she willâ€â€Aznar Thrul cannot disown her so easily. It will appear he harbored a wild mage. His reputation will suffer, and I will attempt to frame the event so it appears that he had her murdered so their relationship could not be scrutinized. |
| 93663 Excellent! Return to me soon and I will teleport you into Vicross's estate. Find her, kill her, and ring the Bell of Summoning in her chambers to signal your success. I will appear and teleport you back to Tethyr. |
| 93664 In the meantime, take advantage of the merchants here. Make sure to rest, too. You will be unable to do so once inside the estate. |
| 93665 'Course you have. Bloody meddling busybody... |
| 93666 Pretty good, huh? |
| 93667 <CHARNAME>'s restraint has saved your life. You are fortunate <PRO_HESHE> was here to stay my hand. |
| 93668 Hey! I'm standing RIGHT HERE, you know. |
| 93669 What? Squeezing? All right, Iâ€â€aughh! |
| 93670 Indeed. Vengeance is a worthy goalâ€â€let it focus your thoughts, sharpen them to a point you may then plunge into the hearts of your foes. |
| 93671 We'll just see about that! |
| 93672 You are a gift from the gods, stranger. I was about to die of boredom. |
| 93673 A better death than the one I'll give you! |
| 93674 I didn't quite mean for THAT to happen, but... oh well. |
| 93675 I told him not to say another word. |
| 93676 I had him charmed! What in the Nine Hells are you thinking, Neera? |
| 93677 He should have listened. Let's go. |
| 93678 I was thinking about Mironda, and Zaviak, and King Gramm. I was thinking about Abby, Connie, Alter, Divine, Chanticleer, Eevo, Lucy, and Nector and how they've no one to feed them now. |
| 93679 I was THINKING I don't want these people charmedâ€â€I want them PUNISHED. |
| 93680 I understand. Butâ€â€try and save your energy for the wizards. We're going to need it. |
| 93681 Well, you're off to a good start. How did you do... that? |
| 93682 Fair enough. Let's go punish some people. |
| 93683 Huh. |
| 93684 No, we aren't! |
| 93685 Yes. We are. |
| 93686 Kill them! |
| 93687 It's Lanneth and her lackeys you seek? You should have said so. Do you have an appointment? |
| 93688 Thank you, Neera. I'll bear it in mind. |
| 93689 Have some patience, Neera. We need to approach this strategically. |
| 93690 This man isn't one of the Orderâ€â€and he may offer something we can use. Justâ€â€let me handle this. |
| 93691 There's one wild mage I'd like to hand over to them right now. |
| 93692 You threaten me in my place of business? Bad move. |
| 93693 I hope you've cash to match your bravado, adventurer. |
| 93694 I suppose the fault is as much mine as yours. I was the one who trusted you, after all. Come along. |

| 93701 The pages at the front of this small, leather-bound journal contain entries related to the business of managing a small contingent of mercenariesâ€â€pay, recruitment dates, and equipment costs. Recent entries are less professional in nature: "The Red Wizards refuse to use their magic in the forest, so we saunter through and set off all the traps. This is not fit work for such as us. There's no fighting. That boy with the long name, Stream-Near-The-Hollow, the one from that mead-drinker's town in Ruathym, was the first to go. I'll raise a glass of mead in his honor tonight." "We brought in another target today, but it cost Ellis and Warwick their lives. Those two were going to get a place together in the slums. Now they have a place together in the river, where the wizard dumped their bodies. They liked their rye; I'll toast them with the same this evening." "Delosar's was a slaughter. We aren't paid enough to justify this, and it's not work that makes you feel good even if you're paid well. Alinda died. It was her first fight. I'm going to down a cup for every one of those lost, and three for her." |

She says that, before coming to Athkatla, she wandered the Sword Coast enjoying an adventurer's life while evading the Order of Eight Staves, an organization dedicated to hunting wild mages. She talks less about her distant past, but does not hide the fact she was banished from the High Forest for her wild magic. She is quick to laugh and to chatter, perhaps a little glibly, but lashes out whenever she senses a threat to her autonomy. She is deeply invested in protecting other wild mages and seems willing to risk almost everything to do so. |
| 93711 I've seen you dance. You made the right choice. |
| 93712 Shut up. I'm an AMAZING dancer. |
| 93713 If you insist. |
| 93714 So what news did Jerome bring? |
| 93715 Let's see what Telana has to say... Oh, bugger. It's a warning. "Vicross, the Order of the Eight Staves leader, is in Tethyr, not far from the Wealdath," she says. "The Order's become very good at tracking mages. A wild surge within a certain proximity to them will attract their attention." |
| 93716 If pigs had wings, bacon would fly. |
| 93717 Bacon? What does bacon have to do with anything? |
| 93718 Nothing. Go on. |
| 93719 There are lots of clearings in a lot of places. |
| 93720 True, but I only know about the one close to the where the Red Wizards are. |
| 93721 Where they might be, you mean. |
| 93722 I'll work out the details after. |
| 93723 Thayan Circlet |
| 93724 Red Wizards of Thay consider wild magic dangerous. Its practice is prohibited among their members; no wild mage is allowed within their ranks. An ambitious young wild mage named Vicross's fear of discovery and desire to master her capricious magic were so great that she managed to conceal her status and rise through the Red Wizard hierarchy. She became an autharch for Aznar Thrul, the tharchion of Priador. In this position, she created the Order of Eight Staves, designed to study wild magic. For years, Vicross and her underlings hunted and captured wild mages across Faerûn, performing a variety of tests on their prisoners, collecting and analyzing results. Eventually Vicross concocted techniques capable of partially controlling wild surges. She was able to enchant this circlet to reduce wild surge probabilityâ€â€and to minimize negative results. Fearful of her ever suspicious fellow Red Wizards, she wore it at all times, to keep her wild magic from betraying her. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – +15% probability that a wild surge will have positive effect Weight: 1 |
| 93725 An unlucky child. Unluckier than you, even. They have no one to watch out for them. |
| 93726 I shouldn't complain. But I will, just to keep in practice. |
| 93727 About as well as that. Certainly no better. |
| 93728 Indeed. |
| 93729 Continue to favor me? She's welcome to START favoring me any time now. Farewell, Telana. |
| 93730 Please do. I've no use for a child. |
| 93731 Neera traveled back to the north, stopping at inns and taverns along the way, always listening happily as bards wove tales both true and false of her adventures with <CHARNAME>. When she reached the High Forest, she was welcomed back as a hero and personally congratulated by Turlang the treant. Afterwards, Neera returned to Amn to reunite with the surviving wild mages of the Hidden Refuge, thinking she would find happiness in their company. But Neera was now restless and powerful. She soon departed, making her way to the Moonsea. With the help of a wild surge or two, she sank three docked Thayan slaver ships single-handedly, driving the Red Wizards from the city of Melvaunt. This attracted Thay's attention, and Neera found herself hounded once again by Red Wizards. She enjoyed it, for a time, and at one point even found herself in another alliance of convenience with Szass Tam, but eventually she returned to the Sword Coast, where she lived the rest of her days with her friends and her memories. |
| 93732 Neera traveled back to the north, stopping at inns and taverns along the way, always listening happily as bards wove tales both true and false of her adventures with <CHARNAME>. When she reached the High Forest, she was welcomed back as a hero and personally congratulated by Turlang the treant. <CHARNAME> soon joined her. Sometimes going their own ways and sometimes reuniting with their old friends and companions, they wandered Faerûn. Though the Order of Eight Staves was no more, Neera and <CHARNAME> often found themselves opposing the machinations of Thay. One of Neera's greatest feats was the sinking of three Thayan slaver ships single-handedly, an act that drove the Red Wizards to flee the city of Melvaunt. One day, <CHARNAME> woke up and found that Neera was gone. She had left no note, given no sign she meant to leave. <CHARNAME> only smiled, for he knew her destination, and in a few weeks' time, he followed her there. |
| 93733 The rod slides free, and with a grinding sound, the entrance reopens. |
| 93734 Are we back? Is it over? I smell burning. Am I burning? Are you burning? Something's burning. |
| 93735 We are indeed back, Neera. Thay is a most... unwelcoming place. |
| 93736 Quickly, cover yourself in a blanket and roll upon the ground. |
| 93737 Knock off the babbling. We've made it back alive. |
| 93738 You can say that again! Wait, I know you. Don't say it again. But we really did make it back. |
| 93739 Hah! You'd need to wake up preeeetty early to fool me like that again. The smell seems to be going away. I guess we're all clear. |
| 93740 Hey, don't bite my head off for being concerned about fire! It's not like there's no precedent for agonizing, fire-based suffering in my vicinity. But... you're right. We made it back. We're alive! |
| 93741 That means it's... it's over. The Order, being chased day and night by bald crazies. And I guess Vicross is gone as well. |
| 93742 A satisfying conclusion. Your friends are out of danger, and wild mages everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief due to your efforts. |
| 93743 Thay will need to think long and hard about confronting the archmage Neera in the future. |
| 93744 Excellent. We can get back to more important matters. |
| 93745 You're right. Everything's just peachy now... I suppose. But I can't get that damn autharch out of my head. |
| 93746 Vicross? |
| 93747 You can bet your bottom on that! But even so... I can't stop thinking about that jerky autharch. |
| 93748 Y'know, <CHARNAME>, I don't want to offend, but you're a real ass sometimes. I guess I should thank you anyway, for helping deal with that autharch. |
| 93749 Yeah. Vicross. She seemed so familiar despite being so... well, foreign. Frighteningly familiar. |
| 93750 Is this one of those "There but for the grace of the gods go I" scenarios? |
| 93751 I guess it is. When I saw Vicross, I realized I was only a kitten's whisker away from ending up like her. Full of anger and confusion, lashing out at others when I SHOULD be helping them. Bald. Well, not bald, but the rest of it. |
| 93752 But you didn't end up like that, Neera. Your whole life seems to be dedicated to helping others, protecting the weak from the strong. |
| 93753 Kitten's whisker? |
| 93754 And we wouldn't have had this thrilling conversation. |
| 93755 That's kind of you to say. But it makes me wonder how much of a difference there really is between us. Nature versus nurture, y'know? |
| 93756 I'm not good at metaphors, okay? Lay off. I just experienced a life-changing event. |
| 93757 I swear to whichever god is applicable, if you don't shut up, I'll stuff my fist down your sneering, sarcastic, evil-god-tainted throat! |
| 93758 Anyway, I think I'll need some time to think about... all this. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I need to figure out what to do with it. Probably something involving birds. |
| 93759 Take all the time you need, Neera. I'm eager to hear what you decide. |
| 93760 Again with the birds. |
| 93761 Take all the time you need, Neera. And then keep taking it. |
| 93762 You'll be the first to know, <CHARNAME>. I promise. |
| 93763 You leave Jerome out of this! And again... thanks for your help, <CHARNAME>. I appreciate it. |
| 93764 I hate you. I hate you so much. I hate you more than that gross skin on the top of soup. Let's just get moving, shall we? |
| 93765 There are definite signs of life here. Objects around the camp look to have been recently used, and the ash on the ground has been disturbed. There's even the smell of something cooking in the air. |
| 93766 Strange Collector |
| 93767 Key of the Master's Crypt |
| 93768 We'll see about that. |
| 93769 As autharch Vicross teleports away, you feel the familiar sensation of wild magic upon you. You are drawn to her destination... |
| 93770 Wait! You're here, in Priador? How did you follow me? |
| 93771 I don't know, but you're not getting away this time. |
| 93772 Not today! |
| 93773 What an exciting, thoroughly unpredictable happenstance! You never know what you're going to see when you come to Dennaton's coliseum, ladies and gentlemen! One day it's an autharch, the next it could be a dragon or even a god! |
| 93774 I'llâ€â€wait, you what now? |
| 93775 I saw you fight. There's nothing I can do to stop you, even if I cared to. |
| 93776 And so it would look like my situation is hopeless. |
| 93777 You'll surrender, then? |
| 93778 Heretic Blynnyk |
| 93779 Sun Soul Horvat |
| 93780 Jolstead |
| 93781 Heretic Coren |
| 93782 Sun Soul Lara |
| 93783 Hah! I told you the beast was trouble. |
| 93784 Hah! Looks like you get what you paid for there, <PRO_RACE>! |

| 93794 Does your way with the ladies involve a map? |
| 93795 What? It's still alive? Get it back in the pot, quick! |
| 93796 Short-Order! You didn't kill the gibberling! Catch it, quickly! |
| 93797 Hey! Get over here! I want to talk wi' ye. |
| 93798 Y'want a little boost on yer plate before yer next fight? There's something y'can do fer me. |
| 93799 I don't do favors for the likes of you. |
| 93800 I'll take any advantage I can get. |
| 93801 I'm doing just fine in the arena. But I might be willing to do you a favor. |
| 93802 Suit yerself; I'll ask another one of yer sad bunch. I've a mind t' feed ye wyvern slop fer the next week. Count yerself lucky I'm proud of what I serve here. |
| 93803 Listen up. What I tell ye stays between us. |
| 93804 Blab about it and I'll turn your mind into sausage. |
| 93805 I want ye to get me a pieceâ€â€doesn't have to be a big one... just the size of me thumb, say |
| 93806 â€â€a piece o' that walkin' mushroom in the market. |
| 93807 The Concocter? That's terrible! What did it do to you? |
| 93808 What would you want with that? Disgusting. |
| 93809 Hmm... Tasty. I like mushroom too. |
| 93810 It'll grow back. Ye've done worse in the arena. |
| 93811 Y'obviously haven't tasted myconid flesh. |
| 93812 Exactly! Glad t' find another epicurean in this place, finally. |
| 93813 A while back, somebody gave me a few pieces of myconid t' cook. They meant it as a joke. But I simmered slivers in a light stock a full day, added a bit o' salt, and that was it. Best soup I ever tasted. |
| 93814 Me mouth's watering just thinking about it. That Bellowgulp has refused to give me another piece. I'm done waiting. All I do is cook fer y'louts. It's time I had a bit of pleasure too. |
| 93815 Get some o' that giant mushroom an' bring it to me. I can be quite helpful t' those who do me a service. |
| 93816 Can I have a bit of the soup too, boss? |
| 93817 Ferget it. I wouldn't waste it on ye. |
| 93818 Y'better have a good reason fer disturbing me. |
| 93819 You said earlier there was something I could do for you. |
| 93820 I have a piece of the Concocter. |
| 93821 You should know your sous-chefs have asked me to poison you. |
| 93822 I'm looking for a "special" ingredient for a drink I'd like to make. |
| 93823 I'd like to ask you something. |
| 93824 Changed yer mind, have ye? Listen up, this stays between us. |
| 93825 Y'do? Bring it here! |
| 93826 Here it is. |
| 93827 First, I want your assurance I'll get some of that soup when it's ready. |
| 93828 Mmmm, smell that! Hard to believe such an amazing scent comes from such an 'orrible creature. |
| 93829 Here, I promised y'these. Eat one before yer next fight. It'll give ye a mighty edge. |
| 93830 Fine. But I'm not making it just now. Don't have time to enjoy it, keepin' you performers fed. Ye'll get yer taste once this tournament is done, y'have me word. Now give me the myconid. |
| 93831 Is that so? Ye ingrate monkeys! Did y'really think ye'd get away wi' this? |
| 93832 We're sorry! I don't know what we were thinking! |
| 93833 I should just cook ye up and see what halfling-gnome soup tastes like. Wait till Dennaton hears about this. Ye'll wish I had! |
| 93834 Please, don't tell him... |
| 93835 And ye, thanks for coming to me wi' this. I suppose I'm in yer debt now. |
| 93836 So y'fancy yerself an innkeeper now? Why would a slave want to make drinks? |
| 93837 It's better you don't know the details. |
| 93838 I see... What is this ingredient y'need? |
| 93839 Poison. |
| 93840 A dwarf always pays his debts. What's this ingredient ye're looking for? |
| 93841 Some sort of poison that could kill or incapacitate a man or woman. |
| 93842 Ye've got it in fer one of the Winged's thugs, have ye? I like the sound of that. What's this ingredient y'need? |
| 93843 Some sort of poison. |
| 93844 Not thinking of poisoning me, are ye? Hah! Wouldn't think so! Who'd feed ye? |
| 93845 Some people are deathly allergic to funguswood... but fer the average person, a healthy dose of rat poison should do the trick. There's some in the cupboard. Help yerself. |
| 93846 Damn. I was enjoying where this conversation was headed. Come back around if y'have a change of heart. |
| 93847 The cook wanted to ask me for a favor. |
| 93848 He wants me to get a small piece of the myconid in the market. Apparently, he can make a fantastic soup with it. |
| 93849 I have brought the myconid flesh to the cook. He seems to like me a bit more now. |
| 93850 Please, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, a moment of your time. |
| 93851 We've seen you in the arena. Can we talk? |
| 93852 We have to make this quick, before the cook starts thinking we've been gone too long. |
| 93853 I can't take any more of it, Marduuk. We HAVE to make him stop. |
| 93854 We will, my friend; <CHARNAME> will help us. |
| 93855 You've seen the kind of person the cook is, right? He's... hard. He hates everyone, Dennaton, the Winged, and us most of all. |
| 93856 He yells at us all the time, for no reason |
| 93857 Doesn't allow us to talk to anyone |
| 93858 He kicks us |
| 93859 Throws cutlery at us if his cakes don't rise |
| 93860 Even if we had nothing to do with it! |
| 93861 He once stabbed Short-Order in the hand with a salad fork because he reached for some leftover icing! |
| 93862 This has gone on for years. He treats his sides of beef better than us. |
| 93863 We can't take it anymore. |
| 93864 We've seen you in the arena. We think you can help us. |
| 93865 The cook IS a tyrant. I'd like to help. |
| 93866 I'm not sure about this... But go on. |
| 93867 All this is YOUR problem. But I'm curiousâ€â€what do you have in mind? |
| 93868 The cook is terribly allergic to funguswood. It comes from the Underdark and is sometimes ground into a powder to give dishes a special mushroom accent. |
| 93869 The cook LOVES mushrooms. |
| 93870 If you were able to get your hands on a bit of funguswood and slip it into a pot on the stove... |
| 93871 If you were able to get your hands on a bit of funguswood and slip it into his food, he'd get very ill. We'll never escape this place, but this way we might have some peace... for a while. |
| 93872 Very well. I'll help you. |
| 93873 Count me out. |
| 93874 I knew we could count on you. Bellowgulp the merchant might have some funguswood powder. Just drop it into a pot on the stove when the cook isn't looking. |
| 93875 Just drop it into a pot on the stove when the cook isn't looking. |
| 93876 You'll have our undying gratitude if you pull this off. We'll get a nice reward for you, I promise. |
| 93877 Quick, Marduuk, let's get backâ€â€I think I hear the cook. |
| 93878 Please. If you don't help us, who will? What'll we do? |
| 93879 Come, Marduuk, let's go backâ€â€I hear the cook looking for us. |
| 93880 Oh, right, introductions! We're the cook's assistants. I'm Marduuk, and this is Short-Order. |
| 93881 That's not my real name. Cook thought it'd be funny to give me a nickname like Dennaton does with the arena performers. |
| 93882 We're slaves, like you. And the cook, though he doesn't like to admit it. |
| 93883 Even if he thinks he's better than us and doesn't want to admit it. |
| 93884 But we're not fighters. We're chefs, too! At least we were when we were captured. Now all we do is cleaning and preparation work. |
| 93885 It's been going on like this for YEARS. |
| 93886 Now about what we wanted to discuss... |
| 93887 Psst! <CHARNAME>! Can we talk? |
| 93888 Why did you tell him? |
| 93889 What'll happen to us? |
| 93890 Cook's waiting on that mushroom chunk. Don't disappoint him. |
| 93891 Cook doesn't mind you so much. Just don't bother him. |
| 93892 Move. You're not needed here. |
| 93893 <CHARNAME>, so pleased to see you. What can I do for you? |
| 93894 What you did to Short-Order was reprehensible. |
| 93895 I didn't expect you'd shortchange Short-Order like you did. |
| 93896 That was well played, how you took over the cook's position. |
| 93897 In the kitchen as in the arena, one does what one must to survive. |
| 93898 Nor did I. This place changes you. |
| 93899 One does what one must to survive in this place. The kitchen's no different from the arena in that regard. |
| 93900 <CHARNAME>. What can I do for you? |
| 93901 A drink, eh? What sort of drink? |
| 93902 I'd rather not say. |
| 93903 Probably best I don't know the details. What do you need? |
| 93904 Poison. Can you get me some? |
| 93905 Mmmmaybe. Will rat poison do? There's some in the cupboard over there. Help yourself. |
| 93906 Sorry, can't talk. Marduuk won't allow it. |
| 93907 Myconid! A whole giant mushroom, mine, all mine! |
| 93908 Myconid soup fer dinner tomorrow, everyone! Extra bowl to whoever helps me get this to the kitchen! |
| 93909 Forget it, then. I've got to go. |
| 93910 I'll seek him out, then. Thanks for the advice. Can I ask another question? |
| 93911 Ebonbeard's the fellow with the flowing white beard, isn't he? I'll pay him a visit. For now, I must be going. |
| 93912 I have just met Stannel Eibor, the scribe recording the fights in the pit. |
| 93913 Stannel Eibor became uncomfortable when I mentioned his resemblance to Baeloth the Entertainer. |
| 93914 I have recovered Stannel Eibor's ring. Now I must exchange it for the illithid merchant's rune, then give the rune to Brother Ellraish in return for the key to the Hunters' Lounge. |
| 93915 Aha, you have returned! Have you a moment to describe and delineate your latest derring-do within the death pit? |
| 93916 Look at my puppies. Pretty, aren't they? You wanna pet 'em? Take one for a walk? |
| 93917 Don't look at me all crooked-like. I know them aren't puppies! You dirty slave, think I'm dumb? Look who's dumb! You're the slave. You got caught, just like my puppies! Hah! |
| 93918 You slaves are no better than themâ€â€in fact, you're worse! You smell, an' you ain't half as pretty. |
| 93919 You know what my puppies are good at? Fighting. Oh yes, they are. Wanna take one out for a tumble? It'll cost. But don't worryâ€â€I won't let the fighting go to the end. Least not theirs! |
| 93920 I'll fight that wolf for 200 gold. |
| 93921 Is that a... moose? I'd pay 500 gold to fight that. |
| 93922 I'd like to try my luck against a bear. Here is my 750 gold. |
| 93923 Let me take on that mountain lion for 1,000 gold. |
| 93924 The snake. Here's 1,500 gold. |
| 93925 I like the looks of that carrion crawler. 2,000 gold? |
| 93926 How does 2,500 gold for the spider sound to you? |
| 93927 Let's take a crack at that wyvern... and only 5,000 gold? What a steal. |
| 93928 Not right now. |
| 93929 Good, give the gold here. |
| 93930 Off with you, then. I got work to do. Daddy's coming, darlings! |
| 93931 So, you wanna take one o' my pets out for a stroll? |
| 93935 Rasaad's journey |
| 93936 Child's Bones |
| 93937 (unused) These are the bones of a child. |
| 93938 Hah! I told you the beast was trouble. |
| 93939 Hah! Looks like you get what you paid for there, <PRO_RACE>! |
| 93940 My journey to Deepstone was briefly interrupted by a dwarf. I made short work of him. |
| 93941 On the path to Deepstone, I was intercepted by a dwarf named Lemp Coldhearth. It seems his clan has had some problems with the Order of the Dark Moon. |
| 93942 To acquire the rock salt Meems Dugdeep requires to complete the exiled dwarves' tunnel into the Deepstone mines, I must pay a visit to the Sharran lumber camp to the northeast. |
| 93943 I have met with Meems Dugdeep, the leader of the Deepstone dwarvesâ€â€at least those who haven't been captured and put to work by the Sharrans. Her people have been working on tunneling into the Deepstone mines, where her kinsmen seem to be mining a strange crystal with magical properties for Alorgoth. The exiled dwarves need rock salt, a potion of explosions, and a special grog to create a blast sufficient to clear the tunnel. |
| 93944 I have met with Meems Dugdeep, the leader of the Deepstone dwarvesâ€â€at least those who haven't been captured by the Sharrans. She tells me many of her people have been put to work cutting down trees to the northeast, which are then floated downriver before being picked up for use in the mines, where other of her kinsmen are presumed to be collecting strange crystals with magical properties for Alorgoth. |
| 93945 I met Meems Dugdeep, leader of the Deepstone dwarves that hadn't been captured by the Sharrans. It didn't go well. |
| 93946 Rasaad's journey Having arrived at Deepstone, we must now find a way into the mountain. |
| 93947 I have delivered the items the dwarves require to clear their secret tunnel into the mines under the Deepstone clanhold. The Sharrans are about to have an unpleasant surprise. |
| 93948 A mercenary in the Sharrans' employ wandered drunkenly around the area, enjoying the inebriating effects of an exceptionally powerful elixir. I caught a whiff of his breath and feel I will be hung over for the next several days. |
| 93949 I acquired Meems's "special grog" from a Sharran mercenary wandering the area. It is a potent concoction, to be sure. I caught a whiff of the mercenary's breath and feel it likely I'll be completely hungover for the next several days. |
| 93950 I've gotten the rock salt the dwarves need to finish their tunnel. I also freed the imprisoned dwarves and got to work out some frustrations on their captors. |
| 93951 I've acquired the rock salt the dwarves need to finish their tunnel into the Deepstone mines. Doing so without resorting to violence wasn't easy. |
| 93952 Cuddy Dugdeep, one of the dwarves I freed from the Sharran slave camp, tells me he knows of a secret entrance to the clanhold. To reach it, we'll need to ride some logs downstream. |
| 93953 Cuddy Dugdeep, one of the dwarves I freed from the Sharran slave camp, tells me he knows of a secret entrance to the clanhold. As tempting as it is to strike now, before the Dark Moon knows what's happened upstream, I feel our best option is to return to Meems and finish the exiled dwarves' tunnel into the mine. If that fails, we'll still have Cuddy's entrance as a fallback option. |
| 93954 Nearing Deepstone, I encountered an agitated dwarf who bid me come no closer. He didn't manage to say much before we were attacked by several Sharrans hiding nearby. |
| 93955 Nearing Deepstone, I encountered an agitated dwarf who bid me come no closer. I should have listenedâ€â€the spell I triggered hurt us both, making the attack by the Sharrans hidden nearby that much harder to deal with. Note to self: Next time a dwarf says come no closer, go no closer. |
| 93956 In the matter of penetrating the Deepstone clanhold, I've determined that the direct approach is the best. The mountain will be baptized in Sharran blood before this <DAYNIGHTALL> is done. |
| 93957 It seems a direct assault on the Sharran-held Deepstone clanhold is unavoidable. I've some bloody work ahead of me. |
| 93958 Cuddy Dugdeep's secret passage into the clanhold goes directly into the kitchen. The dwarves there were not thrilled to see meâ€â€Cuddy talked them around. Now Cuddy and I are splitting up. He is taking his people down into the mines while I clear out the clanhold. |
| 93959 Cuddy Dugdeep's secret passage into the clanhold goes directly into the kitchen. The dwarves there were not thrilled to see meâ€â€Cuddy talked them around. He is taking them back out to join their people in the woods while I work to cleanse Deepstone of the Sharran scourge. |
| 93960 Cuddy Dugdeep's secret passage into the clanhold goes directly into the kitchen. The dwarves there were not thrilled to see meâ€â€Cuddy talked them around. A dumbwaiter will take me directly into the mines, where I hope to take the Sharrans by surprise. |
| 93961 Cuddy Dugdeep's secret passage into the clanhold goes directly into the kitchen. The dwarves there were not thrilled to see meâ€â€Cuddy talked them around. Cuddy and his people will hold the kitchen while I work to quietly clear the clanhold of Shar's followers. |
| 93962 Fiddich, one of the Clanhold slave dwarves I've freed, is helping me by giving me the clanhold's layout under its Dark Moon occupiers. |
| 93963 The Sharrans torture their prisoners in the Deepstone furnace room. Or they did. The Inquisitor Murundhi will torment these dwarves no longerâ€â€or anyone else, with the possible exception of a demon or two in Hell. |
| 93964 Bloody hells, that was something. You gave my puppy the worst beating she's ever had. You kinda remind me o' me when I was young. I could take down all manner o' creature, with one hand over my good eye and the other in my pocket. Now look at me... no better than a glorified swine-herd. |
| 93965 Maybe my heart's turnin' to gruel, but you might not be so worthless after all. Here, lemme give you something. I used to take it with me when I went huntin'. Little use for it now. |
| 93966 Now get out of my sight. I gotta care for my puppy. This don't change nothin', by the by. You're still a dumb, dirty slave. |
| 93967 From their skin to their souls, some of these Sharrans are Capital-U UGLY. |
| 93968 I have made my way into the Deepstone mines. Thus far, resistance has been minimal. |
| 93969 Using the kitchen dumbwaiter, I've entered the Deepstone mines. Unfortunately, I was unable to kill all the Sharrans present before the alarm was raised. Things are about to get... interesting. |
| 93970 Using the kitchen dumbwaiter, I've entered the Deepstone mines. Unfortunately, I was unable to kill all the Sharrans present before the alarm was raised. Things are about to get entertaining. |
| 93971 Using the kitchen dumbwaiter, I've entered the Deepstone mines. Unfortunately, I was unable to kill all the Sharrans present before the alarm was raised. Things are about to get bloody. |
| 93972 I had my doubts, but the dwarves were successfulâ€â€they blasted open a tunnel into their mines without bringing the river above pouring down upon us. I hope this ringing in my ears doesn't last too long. |
| 93973 The mine's primary entrance is clear. I freed the dwarven clanlord Haldorr Deepstone, who is leading his men back into the clanhold to expel the Sharran intruders. |
| 93974 The mine's primary entrance is clear. I freed the dwarven clanlord Haldorr Deepstone, who is leading his men back into the mine to expel the Sharran intruders. |
| 93975 The mine's primary entrance is clear. I freed the dwarven clanlord Haldorr Deepstone and have convinced him to remain where he is until I have need of him and his men. |
| 93976 Our path to Alorgoth has been cut off by a chasm filled with nightmarish shadow creatures. Rasaad's frustration is an almost palpable thing. We must find another route to his prey. |
| 93977 My path to Alorgoth has been cut off by a chasm filled with nightmarish shadow creatures. There must be another way to get to Alorgoth. There must be. |
| 93978 This part of the mountain is run through with veins of glowing purple crystal. Rasaad is certain we are very near to Alorgoth. |
| 93979 I did not enter the portal to Alorgoth's plane of shadow, but could not convince Rasaad to do the same. I do not know if I will ever see him again. I hope that in that darkness he finds some measure of the peace his brother's death denied him for so long. |
| 93980 Rasaad's journey We are too late to stop Alorgoth's plan to open a gate to the Plane of Shadow. To avenge his brother, Rasaad must pursue Alorgoth and his assistant Yxtrazzal into the heart of darkness. |
| 93981 Rasaad's journey We are too late to stop Alorgoth's plan to open a gate to the Plane of Shadow. To avenge his brother, Rasaad must pursue Alorgoth and his assistant Yxtrazzal into the literal heart of darkness. |
| 93982 Rasaad's journey Ultimately, not even a shadow dragon could protect Alorgoth. As I dove through the portal back to the Prime, I saw hordes of shadow creatures vengefully descending on him. I do not know his fate, but I doubt it is a kind one. Perhaps Rasaad will finally find some measure of solace. I hope so. |
| 93983 Rasaad's journey Not even a shadow dragon could save Alorgoth from Rasaad's vengeanceâ€â€and not even I could save Rasaad from being engulfed by darkness. I hope that wherever he is now, he has found some measure of the peace he so richly deserves. |
| 93984 Rasaad's journey Ultimately, not even a shadow dragon could protect Alorgoth. As I dove through the portal back to the Prime, I saw hordes of shadow creatures vengefully descending on him. I do not know his fate, but I doubt it is a kind one. Couldn't happen to a nicer fellow. |
| 93985 Rasaad's journey With Alorgoth seemingly trapped within the Plane of Shadow, Rasaad must find a new purpose. I'm hopeful he'll find it with me. |
| 93986 Rasaad's journey With Alorgoth seemingly trapped within the Plane of Shadow, Rasaad must find a new purpose. I am convinced he will only find true peace in service to Selûne, and told him as much. He will return to Athkatla to clear his name of the Sun Soul massacre and make peace with what remains of his old order. |
| 93987 Rasaad's journey With Alorgoth seemingly trapped within the Plane of Shadow, Rasaad must find a new purpose. I am convinced he will only find true peace following his new path and rebuilding the Twofold Trust, and told him as much. He will return to the Twofold temple to begin to pick up the pieces of the order directly. |
| 93988 Rasaad's journey With Alorgoth seemingly trapped within the Plane of Shadow, Rasaad must find a new purpose. Until he figures out what it is, he will continue adventuring with me. |
| 93989 Rasaad's journey I have been handsomely rewarded for my part in ridding Deepstone of the Sharrans. It's been a good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 93990 My heart is filled with joy. |
| 93991 I am rising above this. |
| 93992 This will not stand. |
| 93993 This is intolerable! |
| 93994 I really doubt it. |
| 93995 I don't seem to have the gold. I'll have to return later. |
| 93996 Now that I know you're a slave too, perhaps you could help me plot a rebellion? |
| 93997 Hmm… That's quite an eclectic list, but I assume it's important for our plans, so I'll make every effort to get them. Give me a little while to round them up. Come talk to me in a bit. |
| 93998 Thanks for the help, but I also have something else I need to talk about. |
| 93999 Right, I'll get started then. Please excuse me. |
| 94000 Hmm… That's quite an eclectic list. Some of those things would be EXTREMELY difficultâ€â€not to mention expensiveâ€â€to come up with. I'm sorry, but I can't help you. |
| 94001 Then let's talk about something else. |
| 94002 Right, I'll get started then. Please excuse me. |
| 94003 I'd like some information on the people who run this place. |
| 94004 Tell me again what needs to be done for a rebellion to work. |
| 94005 I need to find a few items: a wyrm tooth, a carrion crawler egg, and a scroll made from the skin of an ettin. Can you help me procure them? |
| 94006 You can't right now. Excuse me. |
| 94007 I have met Brodle, Tartle's cousin, who appears to be the one who actually makes the pits run. Perhaps it would be good to cultivate a relationship with him, for he is undoubtedly the go-to halfling around here and a good resource for information or unique items I can't get anywhere else. |

| 94016 Like I said, he hates Thassk Kun. I can't add much to what I already told you, other than that Pyrrus is a Red Wizard and fanatical adherent to Kossuth. |
| 94017 I just told you he hates Pyrrus. The only thing I can really add is that Thassk is a fire salamander. |
| 94018 I would have been once. No longer. |
| 94019 I would have been once. No longer. |
| 94020 We're both reasonable people. I'm sure we can come to some agreement. How does this sound: I don't pay you 100 gold and instead agree not to kill you? |
| 94021 But you already agreed this meeting was secret. Why should I bribe you just to stay quiet? |
| 94022 Please, this is not the way to get off to a good start. If we are to work together, there must be trust. |
| 94023 I don't have that much money. |
| 94024 Rasaad's journey Assassins from the Order of the Dark Moon seeking Rasaad attacked me. They paid the price. On one of their corpses, we found a map to a mountain called Deepstone. |
| 94025 Rasaad's journey Assassins from the Order of the Dark Moon seeking Rasaad attacked me. They were killed, but not before they completed their vile missionâ€â€Rasaad has joined his brother Gamaz. On one of the assassins' corpses, I found a map to a mountain called Deepstone. |
| 94026 Assassins from the Order of the Dark Moon seeking Rasaad attacked me. They paid the price. |
| 94027 Forget it. I'll not pay, not that much. |
| 94028 I came upon several Dark Moon assassins meeting in the Deepstone dining room. Apparently, they are responsible for the massacre at the Sun Soul temple in Ahtkatla, which Rasaad has been blamed of committing. Their meeting did not end as they intended. |
| 94029 I overheard an intense discussion betwixt a Sharran monk named Braitenbach and Torcadahl, one of Alorgoth's hired mercenaries. It seems the mercenaries are displeased with being kept in the dark regarding what's going on in the minesâ€â€though it seems to me anyone serving Shar must become accustomed to be working in shadows. |
| 94030 I overheard an intense discussion betwixt a Sharran monk named Braitenbach and Torcadahl, one of Alorgoth's hired mercenaries. It seems the mercenaries are displeased with being kept in the dark regarding what's going on in the minesâ€â€though it seems to me anyone serving Shar must become accustomed to be working in shadows. Eventually, I was detected and put a permanent end to the dispute. If I ever tire of adventuring, I may have a future in labor mediation. |
| 94031 Well, get on with it, then. Sell some equipment to the merchants or win some more prize money in the arena, and bring me my fee. Quickly. I'd hate to have to go to Dennaton with what I know. |
| 94032 Fomenting Rebellion Brodle has agreed to set up a meeting with a guard lieutenant he says might support a rebellion against Dennaton. He'll let me know when everything's been arranged. |
| 94033 Fomenting Rebellion |
| 94034 Fomenting Rebellion Brodle has informed me the guard lieutenant he mentioned is ready to see me in the barracks. I'll go there when I'm ready to discuss what it will take to convince him to join us. |
| 94035 Fomenting Rebellion I have met Leokas, the guard lieutenant Brodle mentioned might be willing to support my rebellion. Unfortunately, he wanted 100 gold pieces to stay silent. I'll need to come up with it before he'll discuss things further. |
| 94036 Fomenting Rebellion I have met Leokas, the guard lieutenant Brodle mentioned might be willing to support my rebellion. Unfortunately, he wanted 200 gold pieces to stay silent. I'll need to find the bribe money first if I wish to talk with him further. |
| 94037 Fomenting Rebellion Leokas, the guard lieutenant Brodle mentioned might support my rebellion, has demanded 20,000 gold pieces as payment for his and his soldiers' support. If I don't pay, I'll likely face Leokas's troops when the revolt begins. |
| 94038 Fomenting Rebellion Leokas, the guard lieutenant Brodle said might support my rebellion, has reduced his price to 15,000 gold pieces as payment for his support. If I don't pay, I may well face Leokas's troops when the revolt begins. |
| 94039 Fomenting Rebellion I paid Leokas's price. I only hope he comes through when the time comes. |
| 94040 Fomenting Rebellion Leokas has proven trustworthy. He secured the guard barracks for me before I even arrived. His soldiers stand ready to continue fighting Dennaton's forces. |
| 94041 Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you again to our main event. You've already met our next combatant! Once again, I give you our newest attraction, the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits, <CHARNAME>! |
| 94042 This challenger is entirely homegrown. There's not a craven orc in the bunch! They're the top gladiatorial team out of Raskilov's Academy of Might from right here in Thay. I give you "Raskilov's Ragers!" |
| 94043 Imascus, Little John, the time has come! We won't get a better chance than this! |
| 94044 What in Faerûn are you babbling about? |
| 94045 Your death, tyrant! Now, Imascus, NOW! |
| 94046 Itâ€â€it's not working! |
| 94047 Naturally, it won't work! Winged, show yourself! |
| 94048 This had best be important, Dennaton. |
| 94049 A crushing blow! They're going to want ice on that! |
| 94050 It is. Make an example out of these fools. A gruesome one. |
| 94051 As you wish. |
| 94052 No, NO! Aiiee! |
| 94053 I shall expect payment shortly. |
| 94054 Of course, of course! Now off with you! |
| 94055 Ooh! Now THAT'S gonna leave a mark! |
| 94056 Yes! We'll take these pikers out a piece at a time if need be! |
| 94057 Everyone, please settle down and return to your seats! I'm afraid we can't pay out the bets on the last match, as it was interfered with. All wagers will be pushed to the next one! |
| 94058 AH-HAH! GREAT FUN! |
| 94059 In the meantime, grab another ale or leg of mutton while we do some slight restaging. Our food vendors are coming down the aisles now! |
| 94060 WHOA! Now THAT'S a gusher! |
| 94061 As for you "performers," let this be a lesson to you. There will be no changes to the script, and the script is this: You fight. Fight well, and you live. Fight poorly, you die. It's hardly original, but it's a crowd-pleaser. |
| 94062 *ahem* Attention, everyone! We are ready once more for today's main event. We've decided to keep what remains of "Raskilov's Ragers," and we're throwing in some minotaurs to help them out! |
| 94063 Attention, audience! We have a splash alert for the front row! |
| 94064 Before we start, <CHARNAME>, would you like to address your adoring fans? |
| 94065 I am a humble <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I scraped by as best I could in Baeloth's Pits. Faced with trained gladiators, I only hope I last long enough to provide the entertainment you deserve. |
| 94066 Really, Dennaton? You claim to provide entertainment available nowhere else. This fight will be over in seconds, and you know it. |
| 94067 Aww, you didn't really NEED that arm, did you? |
| 94068 I destroyed some orcs for your amusementâ€â€these gladiators will be no different. But you, my people, deserve more! Give me the proper tools, and I swear the front row will drip red with blood! |
| 94069 Ho ho! Look at all that red! |
| 94070 Not at all. |
| 94071 Thayan gladiators? Ha! A nation of weaklings! No Thayan can stand against me! |
| 94072 An absolutely VICIOUS hit! I LOVE IT! |
| 94073 Amazing! The Champion of Baeloth's Pits just convinced the crowd THEY'RE the underdog! Even more amazingly, they've convinced a crowd of Thayans to ROOT for the underdog! Good show! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94074 Hah! Bet they didn't hit that hard in Baeloth's arena! |
| 94075 If it would ease your conscience, I can make sure your future battles are VERY DIFFICULT. Now, combatants, to arms! |
| 94076 How can you resist a champion who begs for the opportunity to entertain you more?! Dig deep, and be generous, but above all, enjoy the show! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94077 Boring, boring, boring! But have it your way. All right, combatants, to arms! |
| 94078 A nation's pride has been wounded! Can Thay's sons and daughters bring honor to our homeland? We shall see! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94079 Hah! We'll give them a surprise they'll never forget. |
| 94080 KILL THEM ALL! |
| 94081 TO THE DEATH! |
| 94082 EAT STEEL! |
| 94083 Let's show 'em how we do it in Thay! |
| 94084 Now THAT had to hurt! |
| 94085 AARGH! |
| 94086 Come on! Shake it off! It wasn't THAT bad! |
| 94087 Let me at 'em! |
| 94088 The Scourge of Baeloth's Pits is looking a bit dazed after that one! |
| 94089 I need healing! Quick, anyone, a potion! |
| 94090 Assistance! Hurry! |
| 94091 A masterful strike from the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits! |
| 94092 So long, comrade! I salute you! |
| 94093 Did everyone see that? These performers aren't playing around! |
| 94094 Another one? Perhaps this group can fight after all! |
| 94095 Oh my! Baeloth's champions are bringing the pain here today! |
| 94096 Hah! That's another one taking the dirt nap! |
| 94097 Aw, did I hit you too hard? |
| 94098 The best part is when they writhe around in agony! |
| 94099 They're too strong! Everyone flee! |
| 94100 Oh, it seems Baeloth's former pets have a bit of bite to them! |
| 94101 It wasn't like this at the academy! I'm outta here! |
| 94102 Now THAT looked like it hurt! |
| 94103 Get up, fool! There's fightin' to do! |
| 94104 Well struck! BRAVO! |
| 94105 Get up and fight, you coward! |
| 94106 Uh oh! Looks like someone's lost their entrails! |
| 94107 Oh, do it again! DO IT AGAIN! |
| 94108 So, I understand this latest fight had a bit of excitement before it even began? |
| 94109 Aye. Some other gladiators attacked Dennaton before the match. He was merciless in his reprisals. |
| 94110 WHOA! Now THAT'S a gusher! |
| 94111 There was a rebellion. A very short one. |
| 94112 It was nothing compared to the excitement that came from me butchering another batch of fodder! |
| 94113 Here's the story: "The Thayan fighters fought fiercely but futilely for their freedom. Our famous hero finished the forlorn fugitives off!" |
| 94114 THAT's what you got from what I said? |
| 94115 It was nothing like that. |
| 94116 Oh! Now THAT'S gonna leave a mark! |
| 94117 Say what you want about those fools, but make sure the butchering part's in there. |
| 94118 Where else can you see butchery like that, I ask you? |
| 94119 You are a scintillating subject! This chronicle is SURE to be a bestseller! |
| 94120 An absolutely VICIOUS hit! I LOVE IT! |
| 94121 Such brutality from Baeloth's champion! Now give us MORE! |
| 94122 SLICE AND DICE! THAT'S how it's done! |
| 94123 There's a macabre beauty to the sight of spurting blood synchronized to the sound of breaking bones, eh? |
| 94124 Welcome once more to the unequaled drama of the center arena! Again, I give you a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of unmatched reputation and skill, steadily clawing <PRO_HISHER> way to the top of our ladder. Please give a warm Thayan welcome to the Scourge of Baeloth's Pitsâ€â€<CHARNAME>! |
| 94125 How I LOVE the sound of crunching bone! |
| 94126 Speaking of clawing, our next challengers hail from the marshes of Chult. It takes more than just a scaly hide and forked tongue to reach the top of the lizardman heap, and this tribal chieftain did it quicker than most. Throw in his elite guard, and it's sure to be hiss-sterical! |
| 94127 But before we beginâ€â€<CHARNAME>, is there anything you'd like to say to your adoring fans? |
| 94128 How awkward! I'm surprised they kept their thumbs after that! |
| 94129 The noble savage. A worthy foe. I am honored to battle such an adversary. I trust our esteemed guests will find some thrill in the contest. |
| 94130 This is shameful! Yet another hopelessly lopsided match fobbed off as entertainment. You're bilking these people out of their hard-earned coin! |
| 94131 I thought these performers knew how to use their weapons! |
| 94132 Today, you will see one lizard at a time skeweredâ€â€but two at a time would be better. I need proper weaponry! Come on, people! A potter cannot create vases without clay! |
| 94133 Did everyone see that miss? Now THAT'S an embarrassment! |
| 94134 Nothing they'd care to hear. |
| 94135 A lion doesn't address sheep. |
| 94136 The bodies will be piled high today! |
| 94137 Noble savages indeed. Today's battle pits nature against civilization. Let us see which will prove the stronger. Combatants, to arms! |
| 94138 Another casualty in the pits! |
| 94139 A valid point, <CHARNAME>. If the audience doesn't get their money's worth from this fight, perhaps I'll use your winnings to refund their tickets... IF you win. Now, to arms! |
| 94140 Looks like Cook has got more meat for the stew! |
| 94141 Who can resist the earnest entreaties of someone who wants nothing more than to entertain us? Be generousâ€â€help <PRO_HIMHER> help you! Now, without further ado, combatants! To arms! |
| 94142 You are a warrior of few words. If that's all you've got, then it's time to fight. Combatants, to arms! |
| 94143 Impressive, performer, but can you do it again? |
| 94144 Ah, yes, my patrons. Let your displeasure shower down upon our villain. Perhaps the Chultan savages will lay <PRO_HIMHER> low. Combatants, to arms! |
| 94145 And another one goes down! Drag 'em off and keep going! |
| 94146 Ah-hah! Fantastic carnage! More... MORE! |
| 94147 You warm-bloodsss sssicken me! |
| 94148 Surprising how easily Baeloth's champions fall before my minions! |
| 94149 I think someone needs a healer! Oops, too late! |
| 94150 Thsssk! |
| 94151 Ssslay them! |
| 94152 And another of Baeloth's champions goes down! Is THIS all they've got? |
| 94153 Sssemuanya guide my hand! |
| 94154 Slaughter them all! For the glory of Thay! |
| 94155 Hsss! |
| 94156 Kill the warm-bloodsss! |
| 94157 And another one takes a dirt nap! |
| 94158 To battle! |
| 94159 No lingering near the gate. Someone prod them with spearsâ€â€get them out into the arena! |
| 94160 Witch doctor to me! Hurry! |
| 94161 I need a healing poultice! |
| 94162 Prepare the burning oil! We have stragglers near the gate! |
| 94163 Vengeance is oursss! |
| 94164 Another warrior sssent to the Great Bog! |
| 94165 Get into the arena, you cowards! |
| 94166 Sssemuanya isss with usss! |
| 94167 Another warm-blood fallsss before usss! |
| 94168 Sssemuanya sssave usss! |
| 94169 They are too ssstrong! |
| 94170 Baeloth's champion calls for reinforcements, but will they be enough? |
| 94171 What foul magic isss thisss? |
| 94172 Oh, excellent! More creatures to slaughter at no extra charge! |
| 94173 Up, fool, before you are ssslain! |
| 94174 Sure, call in some friends! The more the merrier! |
| 94175 Call in some friends! The more the merrier, and you'll certainly need them! |
| 94176 Amazing adventure! Epic entertainment! Someone with the ability to lay low loads of lizardmen only comes by... what, once a tenday? Would you like to give a statement? |
| 94177 Dennaton seems intent on giving me overmatched opponents so he can build my reputation among his clients. |
| 94178 The odds grow longer against the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits! |
| 94179 Another ridiculously easy fight, over almost before it began. |
| 94180 Things are about to get crowded for our performers! |
| 94181 I came, I saw, I conquered. That's my statement. |
| 94182 A rare moment of rectitude! I shall record the following: "Ruthlessly ripped from their regular habitat, the noble savages resolutely resisted a relentless rival resolved upon their ruin!" |
| 94183 And that's the closing act for another of our performers! |
| 94184 You understand I've been kidnapped and my life is in danger too, right? |
| 94185 Such a shame. I was going to allow them to retire. |
| 94186 Do you even listen to what I say? |
| 94187 So long, performer. Thanks for the memories! |
| 94188 I can see the day I have to thrash you coming already. |
| 94189 You are, as ever, a scintillating subject! This chronicle is SURE to be a bestseller! |
| 94190 Whoops! Looks like we're gonna see some improvisation tonight! |
| 94191 And THAT'S how you make a long sword into a short sword! Ha ha! |
| 94192 Uh oh! I guess cheaper ISN'T always better! |
| 94193 Hey, don't come apart on me now! |
| 94194 A shame. They didn't even say goodbye! |
| 94195 What's the matter? Pull yourself together! |
| 94196 Attention, honored guests! Prepare to be amazed. Prepare to be HORRIFIED! Once again, I give you a warrior whose victories are the talk of the arena. Everyone, let's give a round of applause to the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits, <CHARNAME>! |
| 94197 Oh my! Look at the pieces bounce! |
| 94198 These next creatures were pulled from the mines of Mirabar! Some would have you believe such creatures do not existâ€â€that they are only stories invented to frighten children. Today, you will see that they are very real indeed! Ladies and gentlemen, I present for your amusementâ€â€for your horrorâ€â€a pack of rabid UMBER HULKS! |
| 94199 Before we begin, <CHARNAME>, have you any words for the audience? |
| 94200 Fear not, good people. As nightmares are banished by the light, so shall these creatures be banished by my might. |
| 94201 Dennaton, you disgusting piece of filth! You'd not last ten seconds in this arena! |
| 94202 At last, I face creatures capable of spilling the kind of blood you want. But imagine how much greater a spectacle you'd witness had I better weapons! You shall have a river of blood, but I yearn to give you an ocean! |
| 94203 Don't think so. |
| 94204 These pathetic creatures will fall before me. People of Thay, lock your doors and hide your children. I give nightmares nightmares! |
| 94205 Courageous, and a poet to boot! Come, my patrons, show your champion support once more! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94206 You may be right. But the question that matters is how long YOU will last. Combatants, to arms! |
| 94207 The Scourge of Baeloth's Pits wants to give us a show. What a generous and giving spirit! Won't you be as generous for your favorite performer? While you decide, let the killing commence! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94208 *sigh* Combatants, to arms! |
| 94209 Aha! Then we are fortunate that two nightmares clash here today. Worry not, my patronsâ€â€in moments, only one will be left. Combatants! To arms! |
| 94210 So, you were pitted against some dangerous denizens of the depths! Umber hulks, correct? |
| 94211 Aye. Their ability to confuse was challenging, but utimately I triumphed! |
| 94212 They were just mindless beasts doing what they do. Unfortunately, I had little choice but to kill them. |
| 94213 They WERE umber hulks. Now they're DEAD umber hulks. |
| 94214 "The petrified beasts were pressed into the pit at pike point. There, a psychotic <PRO_RACE> playfully cut them to pieces for the people's pleasure!" What do you think? |
| 94215 Listen, you have me all wrong. |
| 94216 You're just a hack, aren't you? |
| 94217 I just noticed how long your quill is. If I went in through your eye, I bet I could write on the back of your skull. |
| 94218 Does it matter? This story has bestseller written all over it! |
| 94219 "...back of your skull." Mm, fabulous quote! The readers will love it. |
| 94220 Come one, come all, to the greatest show this side of the Astral Plane! Once more, I bring you a performer that's slowly but surely winning hearts... and minds! In a world bereft of heroes, they fill the void, a beacon of light to all! I give you the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits, <CHARNAME>! |
| 94221 Ladies and gentlemen, let me present a performer who continues to explore new and greater depths of infamy! Come on, everyoneâ€â€let's REALLY hear the boos for the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits, <CHARNAME>! |
| 94222 Come one, come all, to the greatest show this side of the Astral Plane! Once again, I bring you a performer whose skill is matched only by their lofty reputation. I give you the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits, <CHARNAME>! |
| 94223 Our challengers are some of the most despicable creatures in all of Toril! The bane of all who walk in the sun, these ancient enemies of Thay are so depraved that even the light itself hates them. Fear? Loathing? Disgust? You'll feel them all for the drow of House Aiel'for! |
| 94224 Before we begin, <CHARNAME>, have you anything you'd like to say? |
| 94225 Fear not, good people of Thay! Your champion is here! When I am done this day, these despicable beasts will be naught but stains upon the arena floor! |
| 94226 I've no doubt YOU fear the drow, Dennaton. You're nothing without the Winged. One day, it'll just be you and me in this arena. Some day soon. |
| 94227 Volo wrote the History of the Sword Coast. Prism sculpted the Mask of Ellesime. I shall create the greatest spectacle of gore seen this side of the Blood War. I need only the proper tools. Help me, everyone. Help me entertain YOU! |
| 94228 Nope. |
| 94229 Drow? Is this the best you can do? Surely even you fools know better than to fear such weaklings. I am the true dark one. FEAR ME! |
| 94230 I feel safer already! Lords and ladies, please cheer your champion as <PRO_HESHE> faces the minions of darkness. Combatants |
| 94231 I tire of these repeated insults, <CHARNAME>. But the show must go on! Should you live, we'll "discuss" this later. For now, combatants |
| 94232 Do you hear that? The Scourge of Baeloth's Pits asks us to help create a masterpiece of death! Clearly, <PRO_HESHE> has the talentâ€â€will someone give <PRO_HIMHER> the tools? Questions to ponder, but for now, combatants |
| 94233 I'd think one of your experience would concentrate more on surviving than such idle fantasies. But enough. It is time to raise the curtain on this act! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94234 Can't you at least TRY to be a little bit interesting? *sigh* Very well. Combatants, to arms! |
| 94235 Amazing! This day, I have witnessed something I never imagined I'd see: The drow are the champions of the Thayan people! Come, dark heroes! Slay the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits... if you can! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94236 Hold, Dennaton. These drow have not yet been paid for. |
| 94237 Oh, by the Nine Hells, why do you interrupt me?! Have I ever not paid before? You'll get your money. Now |
| 94238 Yes. I will get my money now. |
| 94239 I can't get it right now! There's a match about to start. Immediately afterwards, I'll |
| 94240 See that I receive every last copper coming to me. Or we will see how well YOU fare in these pits of yours. |
| 94241 Of course, you |
| 94242 YOU WRETCHED WENCH! THREATENING ME?! IN MY OWN ARENA?! |
| 94243 What are you all looking at?! You lot just kill each other. You in the stands... GET TO THE CHEERING, NOW! |
| 94244 Pray to your pathetic gods, surfacers. We will show no mercy! |
| 94245 In the name of Lolth, we fight! |
| 94246 Death to the surfacers! |
| 94247 To the darkness with you, iblith! |
| 94248 For the glory of Lolth! |
| 94249 For House Aiel'for! |
| 94250 Die, fools! |
| 94251 I need aid! Quickly! |
| 94252 Healing? Anyone? |
| 94253 Another weakling has perished! |
| 94254 Behold Lolth's curse! |
| 94255 Darkness take you! |
| 94256 To the Abyss with you! |
| 94257 Away, away! They're too strong! |
| 94258 It is over! Flee! |
| 94259 Rouse yourself, fool! |
| 94260 Up, darthiir, or the matron will have you flayed! |
| 94261 According to the schedule, a group of drow were your latest opponents. |
| 94262 Correct. They were ferocious combatants, but in the end, their dark spider goddess could not save them. |
| 94263 Why do you even ask me about my fights? You already have the story written. |
| 94264 They fell as easily as the last drow I faced, an arrogant git named Baeloth. |
| 94265 Your declaration was the drivel of a deluded dimwit! Here's how it happened: "The drow were driven to defend themselves by a dogged enemy determined to decimate them. They were diabolically destroyed, their bodies disgustingly disfigured by the depraved devil." |
| 94266 It was absolutely nothing like that! |
| 94267 Your propaganda is getting out of control. |
| 94268 You know I can't wait to kill you, right? |
| 94269 Your tale of defeating Baeloth so easily rings false, <CHARNAME>. |
| 94270 With you as its subject, this chronicle will surely be a bestseller! |
| 94271 Merle |
| 94272 Little John |
| 94273 Imascus |
| 94274 Damn, damn, damn it all! Damn the slaves, double damn the Winged, and triple damn |
| 94275 What? Oh, m-master. It's you. |
| 94276 We need to be away from here. Your Planar Hunters failed. Our arena's in disarray! |
| 94277 We? A captain goes down with the ship. |
| 94278 You want my head on the floor beside the Winged's? We have plans. If I'm dead, how can I help you eliminate Aznar |
| 94279 Plans change, Dennaton. |
| 94280 But |
| 94281 I must cut my losses before the extent of my involvement here is revealed. |
| 94282 Wait |
| 94283 You are now a loose end. |
| 94284 No, pleaseâ€â€! Argh! |
| 94285 I do not tolerate loose ends. |
| 94286 Bannor's Journal |
| 94287 Bannor's journal has obviously not been updated in many years. A thick pile of dust billows up when you move it, and the pages are yellowed and cracking with age. Many of the pages have been ripped out, and several that remain are so damaged as to be unreadable, but a few entries can still be made out. "...The matron mother grows tired of my experiments, but what she sees as 'failures' I view as necessary steps in the development of the elite drow soldier. She despairs of the numerous warriors she has lost to my myriad schemes, but does she not herself condemn many others to death for trivialities? Alas, the situation is clear: I need a successâ€â€any successâ€â€quickly, or I too will join the others in deathâ€â€or worse, as a drider! Imagine I, Bannor, high mage of House Kaxazel of Ched Nassad, reduced to such an abomination! Perish the thought!" "...The failures continue, and the matron has now become so cold she has even kicked me out of her bed. But I have a plan that may actually work: mind transference. Implanting a drow mind into an adamantine golem would give House Kaxazel an unassailable advantage against both House Claddath and House Ousstyl. Surely the matron's favor will be restored when I am successful!" "...Another test subject died screaming today! What am I doing wrong? I can only assume the failures stem from the stupidity of the drow soldiers I have been using. Such simple minds are obviously unsuited for the trauma associated with switching bodies. The matron mother has at last issued an ultimatumâ€â€I really think she means it this timeâ€â€so I have only one more chance. If I'm right, the process requires a mind of unparalleled strength, so I am left with no choice other than myself for a final test subject. If I am wrong, I shall spend eternity as Lolth's plaything in the Abyss, but if I am correct, then all shall be made right once more. The full favor of the matronâ€â€and all the privileges that come with itâ€â€shall be restored. Well, once I reverse the process, of course..." |
| 94288 Not quite. I need to finish something before we make our move. |
| 94289 I'm beyond ready. DEATH TO DENNATON! |
| 94290 You leave me no choice but to kill you, slaves! Dennaton's orders be damned! |
| 94291 You swiped this dull brass key from the guard captain's corpse. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 94292 Guard Captain's Key |
| 94293 Greetings again, <CHARNAME>! Fortune favors the bold. Lady Luck smiles upon you this day! |
| 94294 The carnage and death you have wrought here is glorious in the sight of Garagos! |
| 94295 This savage and I |
| 94296 Oh, Tymora help me! Even with our oppressors on the run, you keep on with the "savage" bit? |
| 94297 Hmm... For once you are right, Molzahn. "Laris" and I rarely see eye to eye, but in this we are agreed. Tempus blesses those who fight honorably, and your actions today are worthy in his sight. |
| 94298 We will fight by your side. It is time to strike a blow against Dennaton! |
| 94299 Before the slaughter, let us heal your wounds so the violence may continue unabated. Come, you two. Join me in restoring these heroes to health. |
| 94300 One more thing, <CHARNAME>. I've been saving a special draught for just the right occasion. These potions will restore both mind and spirit. Drink up! This is no time to be weary. |
| 94301 We are ready! Let us proceed to the arena and strike the final blow! |
| 94302 All right, everyone, no gawking. Quickly, form a line. We'll make our stand here if need be. |
| 94303 Oh, <CHARNAME>, there you are! Just wait till you see this! The vault's been blown open! I haven't had a chance to investigate, but there's a body inside. I think it's Brother Ellraish. You may want to check it out. |
| 94304 Be quick about it, though. The matches are still going, but it's only a matter of time before Dennaton learns what we've done. |
| 94305 Kazrah's Shield +4 |
| 94306 Legends say this shield was once used by a stalwart adventurer to capture the soul of a massive blue dragon he was battling. Some of these legends claim the adventurer was named Kazrah. Others claim Kazrah was the captured dragon. Whatever the truth, this light blue shield bears the terrible visage of a snarling blue dragon thatâ€â€one time per dayâ€â€actually billows lightning from its mouth. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Chain Lightning once per day Damage: 6d6 electrical (Save vs. Spell for half) Range: 40 ft. Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +5 – Electrical Resistance: +50% Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 5 |
| 94307 Enforcer Bracers |
| 94308 The silver in these bracers is plain and unadorned, though it is polished such that it glistens in even the dimmest light. Enforcer bracers are well known in Thay, where they are used to turn even the scrawniest gladiator into a ferocious brute. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Strength: Set to 20 – Dexterity: -2 Weight: 2 |
| 94309 Cloak of the Lich |

| 94312 This ornate adamantine dagger is both a work of art and a lethal weapon. It has a razor-sharp blade set atop a bejeweled hilt, and the balance is absolutely perfect. The initials B.B. are etched in gold into the silvery-blue metal of the blade.

| 94314 <CHARNAME>? The revolt has begun? Give me a hand here and I'll join you! |
| 94315 Ah, I see the time has come for vengeance! Aid me, and I shall wreak havoc on all the fiends, whatever their disguises! |
| 94316 You have my thanks, <CHARNAME>, and my word is true! I will return to the pits and slaughter the rest of the guards, but I want you to have these. Where you are going, you will need them more than I. |
| 94317 You're a gift from the gods, <CHARNAME>. Thank you. I foresee a great battle before you. Take these if they'll help. I'll return to the pits and see that no surprises come at you from behind. |
| 94318 The time for revenge has come! Take these, and stay out of my way. I've a gnomish weremole to slay. FLEE, JINGA, FOR I COME FOR YOU! |
| 94319 Absolutely. |
| 94320 As ready as I'll ever be. |
| 94321 Not quite. I still need to prepare. |
| 94322 Come in, come in! Find a place and prepare for a spectacle you shall remember all your life! Raise your voices for the hero of Thay! <CHARNAME>! |
| 94323 Come in, come in! Find a place and prepare for a spectacle you shall remember all your life! Raise your voices and welcome our next performer! <CHARNAME>! |
| 94324 Come in, come in! Find a place and prepare for a spectacle you shall remember all your life! Raise your voices and curse the nemesis of Thay! <CHARNAME>! |
| 94325 You have seen this performer battle monsters from the Underdark, creatures from other planes, beings from other worldsâ€â€ugly and disturbing things. But you'll see no monstrous faces today. |
| 94326 Today, you will see the angelic beauty of the celestial realms, fallen from grace and captured for your entertainment. Behold the fallen devas! |
| 94327 Have you any words for the audience before you face your fate, <CHARNAME>? |
| 94328 These creatures are tainted with evil. I shall remove their stain from this great nation! |
| 94329 Wenches in parakeet costumes! How much have you bilked these people for, Dennaton? |
| 94330 I wonder, are there any here tonight who possess an item they would see tested against the might of the heavens? Give it to me and I'll shower you with feathers from devas' wings! |
| 94331 I have no speech prepared. |
| 94332 Only Thayans would be so vile as to imprison celestial beings. A day of reckoning is coming, you rephrehensible thugs. |
| 94333 Do you hear that, people of Thay? The fallen celestials' blemish shall be cleansed away by your champion! Let the battle begin! |
| 94334 Go to the so-called "wenches," <CHARNAME>. After you've felt their blades, tell me if they are who I say. |
| 94335 A rare opportunity! Test your gift against the heavens themselves! Make haste, though. The battle's about to begin! |
| 94336 Do not have a speech prepared? You aren't addressing the Lords of Waterdeep... ah... I meanâ€â€let the battle begin! |
| 94337 You call us vile? This will not stand. Let the battle begin! |
| 94338 The Winged is a traitor to her own kind! |
| 94339 Bring forth the Winged! |
| 94340 We challenge the Winged to a battle of honor! |
| 94341 Dennaton, give us the Winged to battle! |
| 94342 You will die, mortal. |
| 94343 You cannot stand against the power of the heavens. |
| 94344 You shall not prevail. |
| 94345 To my side! I am wounded! |
| 94346 Heavens protect me! |
| 94347 I shall repay you for this! |
| 94348 You will pay for their death! |
| 94349 Your weak flesh fails before my blade! |
| 94350 How easily you fell. |
| 94351 Flee! Make haste! |
| 94352 Retreat! The gladiator is too powerful! |
| 94353 You cannot hope to hold a deva. |
| 94354 Your tricks cannot overpower the might of the heavens. |
| 94355 You defied divinity defeating the devas! Do detail your surprising success story. |
| 94356 The devas forsook celestial glory and fell into darkness. Ending their dishonorâ€â€and their livesâ€â€was a mercy. |
| 94357 Annihilating divine creatures is hardly a success. |
| 94358 My might grows with each defeated foe. The devas were just another step to my ultimate goal! |
| 94359 You make my task terribly tedious. The record shall read thus: "The devilish devas, distracted by their distaste for the Winged, were deftly disposed of by the dastardly duelist." |
| 94360 I battled them face to face. Their full attention was on me the entire time. |
| 94361 I care not what you say. You're writing a novel, not a history. |
| 94362 Someday, you will pay for every lie you've written about me. |
| 94363 What I have written is what will be read. Go prepare for your next battle. I need more material. |
| 94364 No. The ones who will pay are thousands upon thousands of rejoicing readers! You're making me rich! |
| 94365 Your attention, please! I, Dennaton, have the distinct honor of bringing before you the hero of Thay! Lords and ladies, I give you... <CHARNAME>! |
| 94366 Your attention, please! I, Dennaton, have the distinct honor of bringing before you the next performer to battle in the pits! <CHARNAME>! |
| 94367 Your attention, please! I, Dennaton, have the dubious honor of introducing the treacherous enemy of Thay! <CHARNAME>! |
| 94368 There is a place of darkness, a place time itself has forgotten. Deep within the shifting sands of the Anauroch Desert is an ancient and magnificent tower, its spires clawing at the heavens! |
| 94369 Within the tower are two wizards rumored to be older than the desert they inhabit, preserved in the immortality of lichdom. Tonight, I present to you... the twin demiliches of Azgoloth! |
| 94370 <CHARNAME>? Have you any words of wisdom for your adoring fans? |
| 94371 Two liches or two score, I will defeat them all for you, good people of Thay! |
| 94372 More decrepit arcanists. Surely you people can find better ways to waste your money. |
| 94373 People of Thay, if any among you have a powerful weapon to bestow upon me, I promise I will send lich skulls sailing high into the crowd! |
| 94374 Don't waste time talking. |
| 94375 Half-dead senile wizards? Aren't there enough in Thay already? |
| 94376 Scores of liches! The good champion would face scores for you! Well, we'll start with two and see how <PRO_HESHE> fares. Let the battle begin! |
| 94377 You'll find that these are quite certainly liches of the most powerful varietyâ€â€right now! |
| 94378 Imagine the excitement of having an authentic lich skull! What a souvenir! If you wish to see such a spectacle, then by all means, lend what aid you can to our intrepid performer. And now, let the battle begin! |
| 94379 Fine. Get out there and FIGHT! |
| 94380 I've never heard such vile accusations against the marvelous people of Thay! Let this scoundrel face <PRO_HISHER> doom at the twin liches' hands. Begin the battle! |
| 94381 We shall usher you into the timelessness of undeath. |
| 94382 You cannot resist us! |
| 94383 Come and meet your eternal doom! |
| 94384 The torment of unending death shall be your final destiny! |
| 94385 You will never know the peace of death! |
| 94386 We shall end your pitiful existence. |
| 94387 We shall consume your pitiful flesh with fire! |
| 94388 Brother! To my sideâ€â€I am hurt! |
| 94389 You may injure me, but you shall never defeat me! |
| 94390 You shall pay for your impertinence! |
| 94391 It cannot be! You cannot have defeated him! |
| 94392 Now you see the true weakness of your flesh. |
| 94393 You never had a chance, mortal. |
| 94394 Come, let us flee! |
| 94395 Flee! Return to the safety of our desert home! |
| 94396 Fool! You cannot disable a lich for long! |
| 94397 Your tricks shall not last long against our power! |
| 94398 Laying liches low and living to laugh at your luck! How did you do it? |
| 94399 The demi-liches were mighty, but, as always, goodness and justice ultimately triumphed. |
| 94400 Despite their power, those liches were no freer than I. We were compelled to fight. Where's the glory in such a victory? |
| 94401 As I crushed the liches, I felt a surge of energy within me. Killing gives me power beyond belief. I long for my next battle. |
| 94402 And that's why I'm the writer. Fear not, I shall revise your ramblings. "The two terrible tyrants turned and troubled its twin, allowing the duplicitous duelist to defeat them." |
| 94403 They worked in perfect coordination. It was my skill and prowess that defeated them! |
| 94404 No one who saw that fight would write such balderdash. |
| 94405 You just watched me defeat a pair of liches and still you insult me? You're a bigger fool than I thought. |
| 94406 If I wrote your words, I would be a wandering wastrel instead of a successful scribe. Begone. Your blubbering bores me. |
| 94407 I am free, and you fight for the benefit of others. Which of us is more free, then? |
| 94408 Do not be alarmed. The sound you hear is not thunder, the shaking of the ground no cataclysm. Things are well in hand. Please find your seats so that I may introduce your champion, the hero of Thay! <CHARNAME>! |
| 94409 Do not be alarmed. The sound you hear is not thunder, the shaking of the ground no cataclysm. Things are well in hand. Please find your seats while I introduce your next entertainer... <CHARNAME>! |
| 94410 Do not be alarmed. The sound you hear is not thunder, the shaking of the ground no cataclysm. Things are well in hand. Please find your seats while I introduce the wicked, the despised, the loathsome... <CHARNAME>! |
| 94411 Feel the air crackle with energy! Listen to it rumble, as though a mighty tempest were bearing down upon us. Is some mighty storm upon us? No! It is our next combatants! |
| 94412 Wiser than the eldest scholar, more powerful than the greatest wizard, and stronger than the greatest warrior. I give you the great dragon Yllaxxia and her offspring, Orluss and Nyzzlar! |
| 94413 But before we beginâ€â€<CHARNAME>, do you have any final words for your adoring fans? |
| 94414 Citizens of Thay, do not fear! My zeal for your good nation will help me vanquish these monsters! |
| 94415 Dragons? They're wyrmlings, hardly older than I am. |
| 94416 Help me now, O people of Thay! Bestow upon me a token of your favor that I might paint this arena's walls crimson with dragon blood! |
| 94417 A new set of trousers would be nice. |
| 94418 I see you fainting like sickly cattle on a hot summer day, Thayans. I slay these monsters to expose you for the weakling cowards you are! |
| 94419 Your champion strides forth to face the ancient beasts. Sit back and watch the mightiest monsters in Faerûn battle before you! |
| 94420 Enough of your insolence! Let the battle begin! |
| 94421 Not one, but three dragons eviscerated and torn asunder by your very own gift to the performer! Who could resist such an opportunity? Bestow your token of appreciation quickly, and behold the spectacle of this battle! Begin! |
| 94422 A new set of trousers? What are you...? No matter. Let the battle begin! |
| 94423 You go too far, <CHARNAME>. I am Thayan as wellâ€â€ah, I mean, yes! You see this vile performer's hatred of our wonderful nation? Now watch the mongrel cast to <PRO_HISHER> fate. Let the battle begin! |
| 94424 Are you the reason I am here, puny thing? Am I to have an appetizer before I unleash my vengeance on the entire nation of Thay? So be it. |
| 94425 You are nothing but a morsel. |
| 94426 I was ancient when your ancestors were living in caves! |
| 94427 You will burn in my fires. |
| 94428 I shall rip you to pieces. |
| 94429 I shall devour you. |
| 94430 Your life ends now. |
| 94431 Guard meâ€â€I am wounded. |
| 94432 You cannot slay a dragon, fool! |
| 94433 You will die for this outrage! |
| 94434 I shall dismember you for this! Die! |
| 94435 You have proven disappointingly weak. |
| 94436 Only now you see the folly of your ways. |
| 94437 Take flight! Flee! |
| 94438 Escape! Save yourselves! |
| 94439 Fool! You cannot hope to hold a dragon! |
| 94440 Your tricks will have little effect on us, small thing! |
| 94441 You deftly defeated the dreadful dragons! Tell me the tale of your triumph. |
| 94442 The arena shook with their rage! I knew in my heart that if those beasts lived, they would escape and wreak havoc on this city. They had to die. |
| 94443 Magnificent beasts slaughtered for the masses' entertainment... Shameful. I took no pleasure in it. |
| 94444 Even the most powerful dragons of Faerûn cannot stand against me! My name will be feared throughout this land and every other! |
| 94445 *sigh* Are these mediocre musings the most you can muster? It's good I am here. Here we go: "The stones supporting the serpents succumbed to their size, skewering them on sharp shards while the lucky layabout <CHARNAME> looked on." |
| 94446 Look at the arena! Many of the stones aren't even cracked. This is outrageous! |
| 94447 The arena floor's barely scuffed. No one will believe your ridiculous fabrications. |
| 94448 I'm going to strangle you with your own intestines. You hear me? |
| 94449 Details, details, my deluded duelist! Now go awayâ€â€you're bothering me. |
| 94450 You're welcome to try some other time. For the moment, I've more important matters to attend to. |
| 94451 Water's Edge +3 |
| 94452 Barad Ding's eight cats |
| 94453 Barad Ding's eight cats The wild mage Barad Ding has lost his cats Abby, Connie, Alter, Divine, Chanticleer, Eevo, Lucy, and Nector. I'll search for them in the Wild Forest, using a bag of cat food as a lure. The cats are feral, so they might not be easy to handle. When I've found them, I'll return to the Hidden Refuge. |
| 94454 Barad Ding's eight cats As a reward for finding his cats, Barad Ding has given me one named Dings. If Dings proves too much of a handful, I can always return him. |
| 94455 Barad Ding's eight cats I have found and returned all Barad Ding's cats. I think I got them all, anyway. He has a lot of cats. |
| 94456 Barad Ding's eight cats After Dings filled my bags with dead rodents, I decided Barad Ding can give him a better home than I will. |
| 94457 A new beer for Mironda |
| 94458 A new beer for Mironda Mironda, the dwarven wild mage at the Hidden Refuge, has asked me to get her a cask of Halfling's Help from Vyatri's Pub in Trademeet. |
| 94459 A new beer for Mironda I have purchased a cask of Halfling's Help from Vyatri. I'll give it to Mironda when I return to the Hidden Refuge. |
| 94460 A new beer for Mironda Mironda has her cask of Halfling's Help. In return, she gave me a gift: a magical tankard with my name on it. |
| 94461 Where's Wilson? |
| 94462 Where's Wilson? Zaviak, an alchemist at the Hidden Refuge, expressed interest in seeing Wilson, "the best bear in the world." That must be some bear. |
| 94463 Where's Wilson? In exchange for briefly reuniting Zaviak with Wilson, the alchemist gave me a few of his odd but powerful potions. |
| 94464 Mereth's hairband |
| 94465 Mereth's hairband Mereth, a wild mage child at the Hidden Refuge, has asked me to find her mother's hairband, which she lost just before Neera rescued her from the Order of Eight Staves. I should look in or near the crates at the east end of Athkatla's Bridge District. |
| 94466 Mereth's hairband I've found the hairband that belonged to Mereth's mother. I'll give it to Mereth once I return to the Hidden Refuge. |
| 94467 Mereth's hairband I've returned the hairband to Mereth. She gave me a magical necklace by way of thanks. |
| 94468 Potion of Clairvoyance |
| 94469 This potion confers the See Invisible ability similar to the 2nd-level wizard spell called Detect Invisibility, except that the effects will last for 10 minutes. STATISTICS: Special: See Invisible Duration: 10 minutes Weight: 1 |
| 94470 I guess we will. Kill them! |
| 94471 Very good. Follow me. |
| 94472 Wrong move. Kill them! |
| 94473 Cut him down! |
| 94474 Disorder in the Order, Part 1 |
| 94475 Disorder in the Order, Part 1 I have gained entry to the Red Wizard Enclave. I could fight through to Lanneth, but brute force may not be the best option. |
| 94476 Disorder in the Order, Part 1 Fadell, the Red Wizards' mercenary leader, tells me "things are bad" around the enclave. Perhaps investigation or further questioning will reveal exactly how. |
| 94477 Disorder in the Order, Part 1 According to the leader of the Red Wizards' mercenaries, they are "getting paid next to nothing" for the work they do. Perhaps I can use this information to my advantage. |
| 94478 Disorder in the Order, Part 1 I've found the journal of Fadell, leader of the Red Wizards' mercenaries. It seems she's unhappy about her men's pointless deaths and has been turning to alcohol for comfort. |
| 94479 Disorder in the Order, Part 1 I've sown the seeds of revolt. If only the rest of the mercenaries were as drunk as Fadell... |
| 94480 Disorder in the Order, Part 1 With a little encouragement on my part, Fadell and her mercenaries have revolted. |
| 94481 Disorder in the Order, Part 1 I have decided to fight the mercenaries. So much for doing this the nice way. |
| 94482 Disorder in the Order, Part 1 I incited revolt among the mercenaries, who fought the Red Wizards. A very drunk Fadell even confronted Lanneth. Though the Red Wizard revealed I was the one responsible for many mercenaries' deaths, Fadell refused to help her. |
| 94483 Disorder in the Order, Part 2 |
| 94484 Disorder in the Order, Part 2 I just saw a minotaur slave, an ex-gladiator, kill a mercenary in combat. His name is Ghallus. He could make a useful ally. |
| 94485 Disorder in the Order, Part 2 Ghallus tells me I need a key to free him and the other slaves. Lanneth has one, but that does me no good if I want to free the slaves before facing her. There's at least one copy Ghallus knows of, held by a Red Wizard. I need to get it. The minotaur would also rather I deal with the mercenaries before freeing him. |
| 94486 Disorder in the Order, Part 2 I have a key to the slave cells. I'll return to Ghallus when I'm ready. |
| 94487 Disorder in the Order, Part 2 Ghallus tells me I need a key to free him and his fellow slaves. Lanneth has one, but that does me no good if I want to free them before confronting her. There's at least one copy Ghallus knows of, held by a Red Wizard. |
| 94488 Disorder in the Order, Part 2 I have cleared the way of mercenaries and unlocked the slaves' cells. Ghallus and the others are free. |
| 94489 Disorder in the Order, Part 2 I opened the slaves' cells. Ghallus led them against the mercenaries in a bloody revolt that's left many dead. |
| 94490 Disorder in the Order, Part 2 Ghallus helped me fight Lanneth and her servants. The Red Wizard wasn't pleased that I led a revolt in the enclave, though she admitted being impressed by my "effectiveness." |
| 94491 Drop your weapons, and everyone lives. |
| 94492 We don't have much choice. |
| 94493 You bargain with something that means nothing to me, Lanneth. |
| 94494 So be it. |
| 94495 Neera's Hidden Refuge |
| 94496 Neera's Hidden Refuge I ran into the wild mage, Neera, in Athkatla. She wants to meet in the Wild Forest outside the city. She was in a rush, but implied she wants my help with problems facing a "secret camp." |
| 94497 Neera's Hidden Refuge Neera's having trouble finding her camp. She told me a "change in the Weave" might help her. Perhaps I'll return later. |
| 94498 Neera's Hidden Refuge Neera's having trouble bypassing the wards and magic protecting her camp. If I want to help her or learn the camp's significance, I need to find a way past them. |
| 94499 Neera's Hidden Refuge I've made the acquaintance of a woman named Telana and her husband Hayes at the Hidden Refuge, a camp they and Neera established to protect wild mages from a Red Wizard organization called the Order of Eight Staves. Telana mentioned I should speak to her about an elven mage named Daxus. I might also speak with some of the other Hidden Refugees. |
| 94500 Neera's Hidden Refuge The elven wild mage Daxus has resisted Telana's efforts to convince him he's in danger from the Red Wizards. I should bring Neera with me to try and speak with Daxus after one of his nightly shows at Delosar's, in Athkatla's Bridge District. Telana also suggested we give Daxus one of Knocktor's Talismans of the Hearthfire, so he can teleport directly to the camp. If we don't, Hayes will be waiting near Delosar's and can act as Daxus's escort. |
| 94501 Neera's Hidden Refuge We have rescued Daxus from the Red Wizards and their mercenaries. Hayes will escort him back to the Hidden Refuge. We'll return to there when we can. |
| 94502 Neera's Hidden Refuge We have rescued Daxus from the Red Wizards and their mercenaries, using one of Knocktor's talismans to send him back to the Hidden Refuge. We'll return there when we can. |
| 94503 Neera's Hidden Refuge We failed to save Daxus from the Red Wizards. Telana will be terribly upset. |
| 94504 Neera's Hidden Refuge During our absence, the Order of Eight Staves destroyed the Hidden Refuge and abducted everyone there. Telana escaped from the Red Wizard Enclave in Waukeen's Promenade. She tells us most of the others remain there. We must make our way there soon if we wish to save the surviving wild mages. The camp's destruction has deeply affected Neera. She is sullen, vengefulâ€â€not her usual self. I'm worried about her. |
| 94505 Neera's Hidden Refuge I have entered the Red Wizard Enclave. Now I shall make my way to Lanneth's wild mage captives. |
| 94506 Neera's Hidden Refuge I defeated Lanneth. After I'm done with this place, I'll return to the Hidden Refuge and speak with Telana and the other survivors. |
| 94507 Neera's Hidden Refuge I have returned to the Hidden Refuge and spoken with Telana and Neera. While the Order of Eight Staves has not been defeated, Lanneth, its representative in Athkatla, is dead. The wild mages have much to celebrate. |
| 94508 Lords and ladies, dignitaries and honored guests, today I give you something truly extraordinaryâ€â€a champion of a rival arena making their debut here in our own! I give you the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits... <CHARNAME>! |
| 94509 In what is sure to be little more than an exhibition, the new challenger will face several orcs captured in the wilds near Nethra. They SEEMED ferocious at the time, but look at them cower now that their challenger has been named! |
| 94510 Before we begin, <CHARNAME>, is there anything you'd like to say to the audience? |
| 94511 These foul beasts once committed unspeakable acts of cruelty upon the civilized people of Faerûn. Today, I enact justice in the name of all their innocent victims! |
| 94512 This arena is as much a joke as the last. Let's get this over with, Dennaton! |
| 94513 You expect me to entertain you, yet I have only the most basic of weaponry. Can a chef make a soufleé with only a firepit? Can a painter create a masterpiece with only one color? A symphony of violence requires many instruments. |
| 94514 Not particularly. |
| 94515 Why should I address these peasants? To gaze upon my magnificence is more than they deserve! |
| 94516 We shall sleep better tonight, knowing there are heroes in this world. The time has come! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94517 As you wish. Combatants, to arms! |
| 94518 My friends, our fledgling composer needs a patron. Will any of you help <PRO_HIMHER> make sweet music for you? For now, we shall let <PRO_HIMHER> demonstrate <PRO_HISHER> talent by hearing the tune <PRO_HESHE> plays with the instruments at hand! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94519 Inspiring stuff, <CHARNAME>. Very well, then. Combatants, to arms! |
| 94520 Listen to the boos! So raucous! So beautiful! The applause will be thunderous the day you are brought low! Perhaps today? Let's find out! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94521 Mog agar fum Gruumsh! |
| 94522 Ok throg mok far! |
| 94523 Kill! KILL! |
| 94524 Gruumsh, grant us victory! |
| 94525 DIE, SCUM! |
| 94526 AARGH! |
| 94527 Fall before our might, cowards! |
| 94528 Shaman, I need aid! |
| 94529 Healing... QUICKLY! |
| 94530 Avenge the fallen! |
| 94531 Fly to Nishrek, my brother! |
| 94532 Gruumsh is with us! |
| 94533 Ah-hah! Fall before my blade, weakling! |
| 94534 Fall back! |
| 94535 There are too many of them! |
| 94536 What witchcraft is this? |
| 94537 Shake it off, fool! The enemy is upon us! |
| 94538 Your run here is off to a rousing start! I hear this battle involved a pack of bloodthirsty orcs. Can you elaborate? |
| 94539 Dennaton wanted the crowd warmed up, so I was forced to put the orcs down. |
| 94540 A senseless battle. I've faced more formidable summer breezes. I can't believe anyone found that slaughter entertaining. |
| 94541 It was over the moment I walked into the arena. In only a few seconds, I personally slew a dozen orcs! |
| 94542 I'm sure prevailing over that pack of portly pig-people proved a perplexing puzzle for a preeminent pugilist like the purported "Scourge of Baeloth's Pits." |
| 94543 But let's not belabor the business! How's this sound: "Bagged from their natural habitat, a bold band of orcs bravely battled a bloodthirsty butcher!" |
| 94544 That has a bit of a spin on it, but... all right. |
| 94545 I see the notion of subject neutrality is alive and well, "historian." |
| 94546 Good. Chapter Two will be about that same butcher slicing open the arena scribe. |
| 94547 This chronicle is sure to be a bestseller! |
| 94548 Oh, thanks! That quote really fleshes out your rabid ruthlessness to my more refined readers! |
| 94549 Hey, <CHARNAME>. An audience member donated this and asked that you use it in your next fight. Congratulations! |
| 94550 Your prematch appeal for material wealth paid off. Someone who wishes to remain anonymous wanted you to have this and asked that you continue "kickin' arse and spillin' entrails." Enjoy! |
| 94551 Wow, <CHARNAME>, you obviously have at least one rabidâ€â€not to mention EXTREMELY wealthyâ€â€fan. Just LOOK at what someone sent you today! |
| 94552 It's unbelievable the way these people fawn over you. I could bottle your sweat and sell it as an in-stand refreshment. Here's something from an INCREDIBLY devoted fan. Congratulations! |
| 94553 Too Many Cooks The cook's sous-chefs, Marduuk and Short-Order, suffer under his tyrannical rule. They've asked me to poison him by slipping some powdered funguswood, which the cook is terribly allergic to, into one of his pots while he's distracted. |
| 94554 Too Many Cooks Marduuk and Short-Order recommend I ask the merchant Bellowgulp whether he has any powdered funguswood in stock. |
| 94555 Too Many Cooks I revealed to the cook that Marduuk and Short-Order were plotting against him. He seemed very grateful. |
| 94556 Too Many Cooks The cook apparently told Dennaton about the plot against him. Marduuk and Short-Order have disappeared. |
| 94557 Too Many Cooks I slipped the powdered funguswood in one of the cook's pots. When he tasted his stew, he did not simply fall ill, but died. His bodyguard shared his allergy and is also dead. |
| 94558 Too Many Cooks |

| 94570 Greetings! You're part of the new group, right? Garagos is truly great, sending us ever more warriors to continue the glorious slaughter. |
| 94571 Garagos has nothing to do with it, you savage. You know full well this is Dennaton's doing. Him and the one who puts up the gold for this barbaric spectacle. |
| 94572 But who guides him, do you think? Garagos, of course! They've built these arenas as shrines to him! |
| 94573 You mindless brute! Theses arenas make mockeries of the field of battle! No true soldier takes pride in fighting in a cage. It's nothing more than animals going at each other's throats. I'd not put a foot in there. |
| 94574 And that suits you fine, doesn't it, Curell? How Tempus could have called such a coward to his service is beyond me. You should celebrate the arena for what it is: an opportunity to prove oneself in battle. The arena IS a battlefield! Instead, you flee from it. Tempus doesn't like deserters. You do know what he demands we do to deserters, don't you, Curell? |
| 94575 Timmoth, youâ€â€you come here, and |
| 94576 Please! My colleagues! Sir Timmoth! We've been through this how many times now? You're all different sides of the same coin. Tymora blesses you all. Now let our guest speak. I believe <PRO_HESHE> addressed you, Sir Laris. |
| 94577 Please! Colleagues! We've gone over this how many times now? You're all just different sides of the same coin. Tymora blesses you all. Now let our guest speak. I believe <PRO_HESHE> addressed you, Sir Laris. |
| 94578 What is it you want? Are you one of Garagos's reavers? |
| 94579 Never! The god of destruction is a vile aberration. |
| 94580 There is nothing but war, no one but Tempus. May the blood of his enemies drip from his blade for time eternal. |
| 94581 No, my faith belongs to another of the gods. |
| 94582 I am! Glory be to Garagos, may he see us bathe in the blood of thousands slain in battle, brother. |
| 94583 Is that what you think? May he feast on your heart one day. This conversation is over. |
| 94584 Another one! Would that I was free to cleave through you all in Garagos's name! Instead, I must endure within this conclave of worshippers of the Usurper! Is there no one who prays to the only worthy god? Maybe the orc they just brought inâ€â€Horton, or whatever his name is. |
| 94585 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94586 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94587 I heard someone besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94588 I found this gauntlet with strange writing on it and was wondering if you could decipher any of it. |
| 94589 I'll be going. |
| 94590 You would do well to put your faith in Garagos. Don't listen to these foolsâ€â€it's the followers of Garagos who do best in this place, his own house. Why, Dorn Graybrook himself turned to Garagos when he was brought here. That's how he survived long enough to be freed. |
| 94591 You are a liar and an imbecile, Laris. Dorn Graybrook was never here, and no one is ever freed from this place. Besides, everyone knows Graybrook is one of Tempus's greatest warriors. |
| 94592 You two incessantly wag your tongues at each other and do little else. If your disagreements are so profound, unsheathe your swords. Settle them like true warriors. |
| 94593 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94594 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94595 I heard someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94596 I found this gauntlet with strange writing on it and was wondering if you could decipher any of it. |
| 94597 I'll be going. |
| 94598 Don't listen to her. She's a simple wench in love with the village idiot, her beloved Tempus. Did you want anything else from me? |
| 94599 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94600 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94601 I heard someone besides Dennaton was behind this place. Can you tell me anything about that? |
| 94602 I found this gauntlet with strange writing on it and was wondering if you could decipher any of it. |
| 94603 I'll be going. |
| 94604 Come here, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>! Let me give you the reavers' welcome |
| 94605 An axe in the back? |
| 94606 Keep talking, wench. Your words are like your god: feeble. <CHARNAME> and I are one. You should fear us. |
| 94607 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94608 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94609 I heard someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94610 I found this gauntlet with strange writing on it and was wondering if you could decipher any of it. |
| 94611 I'll be going. |
| 94612 Molzahn takes care of the healing. Ask him. |
| 94613 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94614 I heard someone besides Dennaton was behind this place. Can you tell me anything about that? |
| 94615 I found this gauntlet with strange writing on it and was wondering if you could decipher any of it. |

| 94617 Molzahn keeps our store. I don't bother with that. |
| 94618 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94619 I heard someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94620 I found this gauntlet with strange writing on it and was wondering if you could decipher any of it. |
| 94621 I'll be going. |
| 94622 I know nothing of that and would be a fool to speak of it if I did. I'm sure Curell would be more than happy to discuss it with you. |
| 94623 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94624 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94625 I found this gauntlet with strange writing on it and was wondering if you could decipher any of it. |
| 94626 I'll be going. |
| 94627 Ugh... No, I cannot! The writing is celestial, but it has the stench of Torm all over it. I suggest you ask Curell what her decrepit god wants with an actual instrument of war! |
| 94628 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94629 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94630 You said someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94631 I'll be going. |
| 94632 Begone! Insult my god again, and I'll cut your tongue from your wretched mouth! |
| 94633 Welcome back, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER> in blood. Let us chant Garagos's battle cry together. Did you want to ask me something before we do? |
| 94634 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94635 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94636 I heard someone besides Dennaton was behind this place. Can you tell me anything about that? |
| 94637 I found this gauntlet with strange writing on it and was wondering if you could decipher any of it. |
| 94638 I'll be going. |
| 94639 What is it? By the way, your arena slaughters strengthen Garagos, even if you do not wish to recognize it. |
| 94640 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94641 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94642 I heard someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94643 I found this gauntlet with strange writing on it and was wondering if you could decipher any of it. |
| 94644 I'll be going. |
| 94645 Laris of Garagos |
| 94646 Laris, the half-orc priest at the Garagos shrine, offers healing and services. He appears to have a rivalry of sorts with Curell of Tempus. |
| 94647 Welcome is not the right word, given the circumstances. I'm sorry to see another free <PRO_MANWOMAN> brought to this dreadful place. |
| 94648 Garagos is truly great! He sends us ever more warriors to continue the glorious slaughter! |
| 94649 Garagos has nothing to do with it, you savage. You know full well this is the work of Dennaton, him and the one who supplies the gold for this barbaric spectacle. |
| 94650 Who do you think guides them? Garagos, of course! These arenas are shrines to him! |
| 94651 Mindless brute! Theses arenas mock the field of battle! No true soldier would take pride in fighting in such a cage. It's nothing more than animals, going at each other's throats. I'll not put a foot in there. |
| 94652 That suits you fine, doesn't it, Curell? How Tempus could've called such a coward to his service is beyond me. You should celebrate the arena for what it is: an opportunity to prove oneself in battle. The arena IS a battlefield! Instead, you flee from it. Tempus doesn't like deserters. You do know what he demands we do to deserters, don't you, Curell? |

| 94654 Please! My colleagues! Sir Timmoth! We've been through this how many times now? You're all just different sides of the same coin. Tymora blesses you all. Now let our guest speak. I believe <PRO_HESHE> addressed you, Lady Curell. |
| 94655 Please! My colleagues! We've gone through this how many times now? You're all just different sides of the same coin. Tymora blesses you all. Now let our guest speak. I believe <PRO_HESHE> addressed you, Lady Curell. |
| 94656 Thank you, Molzahn. Tell me, newcomer, whom do you march with in battle? Whom is it you fight for? Are you a knight of Tempus, the true god of war? |
| 94657 Tempus is useless to me. I have plenty of success in battle without praying to him. |
| 94658 Tempus? That feeble excuse for a deity? He is the Usurper. Glory be to Garagos, may he see us bathe in the blood of thousands slain in battle. |
| 94659 No, I put my faith in another god. |
| 94660 There is nothing but war, sister, no one but Tempus. May his enemies' blood drip from his blade for all eternity. |
| 94661 USELESS? No one, you hear me, NO ONE can best the soldiers of Tempus in skill and tactics in battle. |
| 94662 What do you know of skill and tactics? You never leave your shrine! A house of Tempus should not be some shady underground alcove. The battlefield, that is where we glorify him! You are a disgrace to our order. |
| 94663 Sir Timmoth, please. There is no call for such harsh words. You will make poor Lady Curell cry again. |
| 94664 Mind your own business, Molzahn. I can speak very well for myself. Now, if your intent, <CHARNAME>, is to slander, then I see no point in pursuing discussion with you. Molzahn, you talk to <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 94665 Useless? Is THAT what you think? No one, you hear me, NO ONE can best the soldiers of Tempus on the battlefield. If your intent is to slander, <CHARNAME>, then I see no point in pursuing my discussion with you. Molzahn, you talk to <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 94666 Not you too! You and Laris are misguided. Garagos's followers fight like a mindless gibberlings. No skill, no tactics. That is NOT how you win wars. |
| 94667 Hah! You talk of skill and tactics as though you know what they are. You never leave your shrine! A house of Tempus should not be some shady underground alcove. The battlefield, that is where we glorify him! You are a disgrace to our order. |
| 94668 Sir Timmoth, please. There is no call for such harsh words. You will make poor Lady Curell cry again. |
| 94669 I don't need you to speak for me, Molzahn. Sir Timmoth's bluster means little to me. |
| 94670 Nor to me. I've wounds in need of healing. Can you help me? |
| 94671 As he's in this place, I assume he's earned the right to a little bluster. But enough of himâ€â€what services does your temple provide? |
| 94672 I don't want to discuss Timmoth. You said someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94673 Yes, let's get to more serious matters. I found this gauntlet and was wondering if you could decipher the writing inscribed upon it. |
| 94674 I'll be going. |
| 94675 Not you too! You and Laris are misguided. Garagos's followers fight on the battlefield like a mindless swarm of gibberlings. No skill, no tactics. That is NOT how you win wars. |
| 94676 My wounds would seem to support your claim. Are you able to heal them? |
| 94677 You'd know better than I. Can I see your temple services? |
| 94678 Let's talk of something else. You said someone besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94679 Let's get to more serious matters. I found this gauntlet and was wondering if you could decipher the writing inscribed upon it. |
| 94680 I'll be going. |
| 94681 On this, if nothing else, Sir Timmoth and I would agree: You would be well served to put your faith in Tempus. In this world of constant struggle, skill and tactics will win the day, every time. |
| 94682 What would you know about skill and tactics, Curell? When did you last visit the training hall, or fight one of Stirv's menagerie? You never leave your shrine! This shady underground alcove is no fit place to worship. The field of battle, that is where we glorify him! You are a weakling and a disgrace to our order. |
| 94683 Sir Timmoth, please. Your harsh words are uncalled for. You will make poor Lady Curell cry. |
| 94684 Mind your own business, Molzahn. I can deal with Sir Timmoth very well by myself. |
| 94685 Can you heal my wounds? |
| 94686 Can I see your temple services? |
| 94687 You said someone besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94688 I found this gauntlet and was wondering if you could decipher the writing inscribed upon it. |
| 94689 I'll be going. |
| 94690 You would do well to put your faith in Tempus. In this world of constant struggle, skill and tactics win the day, every time. |
| 94691 You said someone besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94692 A discussion for another day. I found this gauntlet. Can you decipher the writing inscribed upon it? |
| 94693 I'll be going. |
| 94694 Did you hear that, Sir Timmoth? Another member of our order has arrived. Didn't they say they brought only the land's best warriors here? NO ONE can best the battlefield skills of Tempus's soldiers! |
| 94695 Like you know anything of the battlefield. You never leave your shrine! |
| 94696 Sir Timmoth, please. You will make poor Lady Curell cry again. |
| 94697 Still your tongue, Molzahn. To me, Sir Timmoth's bluster is as water off a duck's back. |
| 94698 A sensible approach. Now, to more important matters. I've wounds that need tending. Can you help me? |
| 94699 Enough talk of Timmoth. I would see your temple services. |
| 94700 I would speak to you of other things. You said someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94701 All glory to Tempus! Another member of our order has arrived. Dennaton says he brings only the land's best warriors here, and this is the proof of it. NO ONE can best Tempus's soldiers on the battlefield! |
| 94702 Left untended, I've some wounds that would make a compelling argument to the contrary. Can you help me? |
| 94703 It's not the battlefield I wish to discuss. You said someone besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94704 A question for you, Curell: I've acquired this gauntlet. Can you decipher the writing inscribed upon it? |
| 94705 Molzahn does the healing, not I. |
| 94706 You said someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94707 Ah. Well, perhaps there's something else you can help me with. This gauntletâ€â€can you decipher the inscription? |
| 94708 You must speak with Molzahn about that. I don't handle the mercantile side of the shrine's operations. |
| 94709 Can you help me with my wounds? |
| 94710 You said someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94711 Well, perhaps there's something else you can help me with. This gauntletâ€â€can you decipher the inscription? |
| 94712 Yes, it's true. Dennaton is not this arena's ultimate patron, though he certainly enjoys playing the role. We do not know his sponsor's name. Whoever they are, they must be extremely powerful. |
| 94713 Interesting. On a different topic, can I see your temple services? |
| 94714 Intriguing. Another question for you: I've acquired this gauntlet. Can you decipher the writing inscribed upon it? |
| 94715 Amazing! The writing is Celestial. Most of it states the core tenets of Torm. This here, for instance: "Champion the weak and defenseless." This part says, "Stand ever alert against corruption." |
| 94716 It speaks specifically of "the fourfold duties" but doesn't describe them. I suppose it's assumed the gauntlet's owner would know them already. |
| 94717 Thanks for the translation. On a completely different note, can you heal my wounds? |
| 94718 You said someone else besides Dennaton was behind this place? |
| 94719 Ah yes, 'tis the <PRO_MANWOMAN> who called Tempus useless. Then what must I, his humble servant, be to you? At best, unworthy of your time. Goodbye. |
| 94720 It is good to see you again, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. Let us chant Tempus's March together. |
| 94721 Later. First, I must deal with my wounds. |
| 94722 In a moment. First, I'd like to know about this person you mentionedâ€â€the one behind this place? It's not Dennaton? |
| 94723 Never mind. |
| 94724 Greetings, <CHARNAME>. May each of your triumphs bring you closer to Tempus. What can I do for you? |
| 94725 I've acquired this gauntlet and was wondering if you could decipher the inscription. |
| 94726 Curell of Tempus |
| 94727 Curell, the priestess at the Tempus shrine, will supply healing and other services. She appears to have a rivalry of sorts with Laris, a priest of Garagos. |
| 94728 The other priests don't get along? |
| 94729 You don't have to be crazy to work here. But it... well, you know. Farewell. |
| 94730 You know nothing of her ways. And if that's your attitude, you'll not learn them from me. |
| 94731 Well. Whatever problem you have with my voice is at an end. Farewell. |
| 94732 Then you'll hear no more words from me. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 94733 Wise words. What other services do you offer? |
| 94734 I found this gauntlet. Can you decipher the inscription? |
| 94735 Hmm... It's a beautiful piece. More artistic than functional... The writing's odd. Clearly Celestial. Such scripts can be interpreted only by those meant to read them. Which I'm apparently not. |
| 94736 Hm. Well, thanks anyway. May I see your other services? |
| 94737 Thank you. I'll be going now. |
| 94738 I've wounds that require healing. |
| 94739 You do me a disservice. I can keep a secret. |
| 94740 All you need know is that I require some ale. |
| 94741 I want to poison Joker. I'll need some ale to do it. |
| 94742 And invite Tymora's ire? Never! Now I'll bid you good <DAYNIGHTALL>. Come back if you change your mind about telling me what you're up to. |
| 94743 I'll not stand here and listen to such slander! Come back if you change your mind about telling me what you're up to. |
| 94744 Eh, one or two. But I must admit I prefer the ones WITH the ale myself. |
| 94745 Let me tell you something. I like laughing, and I like fighting. Keep it up and I will do both while I am ramming your teeth down your throat! |
| 94746 Ja. I'll do that... and I'll do it without your company, thank you very much. |
| 94747 Speak, please, I beg you! I can wait no longer! |
| 94748 I'd like to know more about you. |
| 94749 I've got to know... how did you end up here? |
| 94750 I have need of your expertise. Can you create poisons? |
| 94751 I would like your assistance in my next match. |
| 94752 I have the poison ingredients you required. |
| 94753 Oh, forget this. |
| 94754 If you wish to know more about me, it only stands to reason that I long to divulge my most closely kept secrets to you. Indeed, I've been standing here hoping I could recount my life story to a complete stranger. |
| 94755 I didn't expect your life story, but some common knowledge would be appreciated. |
| 94756 Perhaps we could speak about something else. |
| 94757 Never mind, then. I'll be going. |
| 94758 You are a self-involved fool, you know that? |
| 94759 Ask foolish questions, expect foolish answers. Now begone. You bother me. |
| 94760 No knowledge of me is remotely "common." I have lived for centuries and accumulated a store of knowledge so great that renowned wizards journey from all corners of Faerûn seeking an audience. |
| 94761 Forgive my impertinence. With your permission, I'd like to ask you something. |
| 94762 Your humility is truly stunning. Unfortunately, I must take my leave of you. |
| 94763 No, you are not common. Narcissistic and self-absorbed, yes, but not common. |
| 94764 I suppose this is the curse of my imprisonment here, to be forced to tolerate the rabble around me. |
| 94765 There's no need to be rude. I'm just trying to make conversation. |
| 94766 Never mind. I'd hate to bore you with my prattling. |
| 94767 Your ego didn't save you from the Winged, drow. |
| 94768 Rude? I merely state the facts. But perhaps I have been overly hasty. Looking about me, I see little opportunity for conversation more engaging than that you offer. |
| 94769 Therefore, I will share the tale of my betrayal and subsequent incarceration. Yes, you heard correctly. I said "betrayal." The Winged, that capricious and wanton mercenary, is no stranger to me. |
| 94770 I have advised her on occasion, and she has provided certain useful services to me. In recent decades, my experiments required certain unusual reagents. Powdered unicorn horn among them. |
| 94771 You can imagine my excitement when I received word that the Winged had secured some for me. I rushed to meet herâ€â€and her band of hunters, as it turned out. |
| 94772 I was not defenseless; I never am. I injured one of her cohorts and immobilized two others before they breached my wards and brought me to these infernal halls. |
| 94773 An entertaining story, if a familiar one. May I ask you something else? |
| 94774 A fine tale. I must be going now, however. |
| 94775 Such a simple trap to snare the most ingenious of mages. I imagine you'd blush, were you capable of it. |
| 94776 How fortunate for you I stand here day and night waiting, nay, hoping you might come to me with some task so I could be of use to you. |
| 94777 Ah... yes... so can you make the poison? I'd appreciate it greatly. |
| 94778 Very funny. Can you make the poison or not? |
| 94779 Whatever use you might be to me cannot possibly justify this abuse. Farewell. |
| 94780 For you, my dear friend? No. For my other dear friend, the one that glitters? Perhaps. That is, if enough of my glittering friends gathered together in one place. 1,500 of them, to be exact. |
| 94781 I'd sooner do business with a devil of the Nine Hells. |
| 94782 Listen carefully. I require certain ingredients to make this poison. Gather some lotus root and distilled alcohol. The merchants may have such things. Bring them to me when you've found them. |
| 94783 Excellent. The poison is prepared but for these ingredients. Just give me a moment to add them... There! Finished. |
| 94784 Thank you, Gezzthemin. |
| 94785 Of course you seek my support in the pits. It is the surest way to secure an easy and safe yet dazzling and spectacular victory, for which Dennaton will reward you handsomely. |
| 94786 You realize such luxuries do not come cheaply, of course... 1,700 gold pieces is my price. A bargain in any estimation! |
| 94787 1,700 gold pieces? That sounds like about right. Here you go. |
| 94788 I don't have 1,700 gold pieces at the moment. I'll return when I do. |
| 94789 I'd rather focus on the enemies before me without worrying about a dagger in the back. |
| 94790 I've often wondered what it is about a brilliant wizard deep in thought that compels every passerby to inquire as to his current activity. |
| 94791 The umber hulk in the holding area. I was contemplating the interface between its gaze and the resulting coupled resonance excited in the Weave which stimulates the appropriate brainwaves, resulting in the confusion of its target. |
| 94792 Aldar N'Voshâ€â€a little-known but prolific writer on the subjectâ€â€hypothesized that the phenomenon of the umber hulk's gaze affecting the Weave in this manner suggests arcane |
| 94793 And now you stand there agape, trying to grasp the first word of the first sentence I uttered to you. This is a waste of my time and yours. A poor outcome for me, as my time has actual value. |
| 94794 Actually, I was surprised at your quoting Aldar N'Vosh. Wasn't he discredited by Ulrich Fenheld? |
| 94795 Ah... right... I would like to ask you something else. |
| 94796 I have little time for such speculations. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 94797 What nonsense. That umber hulk's addled your brains. |
| 94798 You have read Fenheld's treatise? Splendid! I must admit, when he introduced the hypothesis of multilateral universalism and the duality of arcane reduction, I was skeptical. But by the fourteenth volume, he makes a compelling case. |
| 94799 We should speak again sometime. For now, I would return to my thoughts. |
| 94800 *sigh* Very well. Direct your eyes to the holding pen. What do you see? An ordinary clay golem? Yes. That is certainly what it appears to be. |
| 94801 Even those with knowledge of golemcraft might be fooled. It's little surprise that it takes a mind such as mine to perceive this particular golem's true nature. |
| 94802 It is a shattering golem. I've read about them in Drenaur's "Treatise on Golemcraft." |
| 94803 What kind of golem is it? |
| 94804 Never mind. I must be going. |
| 94805 The loss is yours. Well then, why have you sought me out? |
| 94806 Most impressive! That is exactly what it is. When damaged severely, this golem breaks into many smaller ones. A brilliant designâ€â€one well worth my attention. My undivided attention. Excuse me. |
| 94807 It is called a "shattering golem." |
| 94808 The most fascinating aspect of its creation is the incorporation of the individual minds of the smaller ones into a hive mind that operates in concert or individually as the situation dictates. Brilliant. |
| 94809 I don't know which is more impressive, the golem or your knowledge of it. Could I talk to you about something else? |
| 94810 I'm certain someone would find that fascinating. I'll be going now. |
| 94811 Gezzthemin's Poison |
| 94812 You acquired this poison from the drow wizard Gezzthemin for use on Joker. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 94813 Gezzthemin "The Beloved One" |
| 94814 I have met Gezzthemin. He's rather sarcastic, even for a drow. |
| 94815 The Joke's on Who I need distilled alcohol and lotus root for Gezzthemin to concoct a poison for me. |
| 94816 The Joke's on Who Gezzthemin's supplied me with a poison I can use on Joker. |
| 94817 No, I'll be going now. Rapidly. |
| 94818 The List? What's that? |
| 94819 Feldrak "The Fiend" Feldrak'i I have met the halfling Feldrak "The Fiend" Feldrak'i. He is quite angry about nearly everything as far as I can tell. |
| 94820 Bhaal Cultist |
| 94821 Maisha |
| 94822 Aisha |
| 94823 Orluss |
| 94824 Nyzzlar |
| 94825 Enegar |
| 94826 Kastulor |
| 94827 What're you lookin' at, eh? |
| 94828 Keep sharp, those short little buggers'll are just itching to try somethin'. |
| 94829 Stinks 'round here. |
| 94830 Can't get a decent meal outta these damn dwarven cooks. |
| 94831 You need somethin' to do? |
| 94832 Pull me finger. Haw! |
| 94833 Tired of gettin' shuffled around, I want me own command! |
| 94834 Good evening! It is once again my pleasureâ€â€nay, my HONORâ€â€to present to you the vanquisher of darkness, the destroyer of evil, the champion of the good and noble citizens of Thay, <CHARNAME>! |
| 94835 Good evening! Once again, for the amusement of your most discerning tastes, I bring you a performer of such talent and ability as to have vanquished all before them and emerged unscathed! |
| 94836 Ladies, hide your children! Gentlemen, steel your nerves and steady your ladies. A villain most vile and dangerous is in our midst. I bring you that which stalks your darkest dreams and infests your deepest fears, <CHARNAME>! |
| 94837 It has been whispered that the shining spires of the City of Splendors conceal beneath them dark and terrible secrets. The whispers are true. |
| 94838 Plucked from the shadows beneath Waterdeep, I give you the vampire lord Gaul and his coven of eternal darkness! |
| 94839 Before the carnage begins, would you like to address your adoring fans, <CHARNAME>? |
| 94840 Dusk settles across the land, but dawn will come anew. Citizens of Thay, I am your dawn-bringer. I shall banish these foul creatures to the Nine Hells! |
| 94841 These are no vampires! I can see their false fangs from here! You're trying to pass common street ruffians off as undead! |
| 94842 If you truly want a spectacle, ladies and gentlemen, give me something I can use to decorate this pit with my opponents' broken bodies! |
| 94843 No. |
| 94844 You Thayans cower and squeal like stuck pigs, and for what? A handful of rotting corpses? Behold a true warrior, and know shame! |
| 94845 What a relief we have such a mighty champion to defend us. Let the battle begin! |
| 94846 You'll discover the truth of your foe's identity and despair, <CHARNAME>. Begin the battle! |
| 94847 Imagine the excitement of this mighty performer using YOUR gift to defeat this foe. Do not deny yourselves such an opportunity! |
| 94848 I hope the fight is more interesting than your speech. Let the battle begin! |
| 94849 Do not dismay, bold and honorable men of Thay. Either the foul vampires or this mocking rascal will fall this day. May the battle begin! |
| 94850 You shall feel undeath's eternal embrace. |
| 94851 I can smell your fear, mortal. |
| 94852 I have lived for centuries. You cannot prevail. |
| 94853 You will feel the cold hand of death! |
| 94854 You have no hope, mortal. |
| 94855 Your pitiful attacks cannot harm me! |
| 94856 I shall return you to the dust! |
| 94857 Protection From Good, 10' Radius |
| 94858 You have hurt me, but you shall not prevail. |
| 94859 It will take more than this to kill me, mortal. |
| 94860 Even if you strike us down, we shall rise again! |
| 94861 You fool! You cannot kill that which is already dead! |
| 94862 Suffer and die! |
| 94863 Only in death do you see your folly. |
| 94864 Fall back and regroup! |
| 94865 The mortal is too powerful! Fall back! |
| 94866 Steel yourself against their trickery! |
| 94867 You shall not ensnare me in your traps! |
| 94868 You have undone the unbeatable undead! How does it feel? |
| 94869 Glorious. Those vile creatures shall no longer trouble the good folk of Thay. |
| 94870 The undead are an abomination. I did what was necessary, nothing more. |
| 94871 Even a vampire lord's power pales in comparison to my own! |
| 94872 Most candid. I thank you. Here's how history will remember the battle: "Weakened by the arena's light, the vampires fell prey to the petty pranks of a pitiful performer." |
| 94873 You do me a great dishonor. |
| 94874 No one will be convinced by your lies. |
| 94875 Undeath's eternal torment is nothing compared to what I'll do to you. |
| 94876 Sorry that your sentiments suffer so severely, but I am the scribe. Trust my experience and instinct for what the masses desire. |
| 94877 Great! A quarrelsome quip to finish the chapter. My deepest thanks. |
| 94878 Praise be to Shar. I still do not recognize you. Who are you? |
| 94879 Keep yer voice down, you'll be heard! |
| 94880 Ye're back! I knew ye had it in ye! |
| 94881 I'll be caving in skulls alongside you when you make the call! |
| 94882 Come back for some special stew some time. It'll, ah, take a while. |
| 94883 Maidens, prepare to swoon. Men, prepare to cheer. Your champion is here once again to participate in a spectacle beyond comparison! I give you <CHARNAME>! |
| 94884 It is my pleasure to once again bring you a seemingly unstoppable warrior who has vanquished foe after foe: <CHARNAME>! |
| 94885 Ladies and gentlemen, our next performer needs no introduction. Their dark reputation stains the crimson honor of Thay! I give you your nemesis, <CHARNAME>! |
| 94886 The sages and scholars write of the vastness of existence, how there are realms and planes vastly different and far removed from our own. Ah! I see some among you doubt me. Well, doubt no LONGER! |
| 94887 See, I give you the planar travelers, the githyanki! Brought here by powerful magics, our performer will be hard-pressed to defeat their alien cunning and strength! |
| 94888 Before the slaughter commences, <CHARNAME>, would you care to address the audience? |
| 94889 I dedicate this battle to you, good people of Thay. I'll vanquish these alien monstrosities for YOU! |
| 94890 You may fool the crowd with these two-copper illusions, Dennaton, but not me. These are nothing but freakishly tall goblins. They shall fall before me. |
| 94891 They say the githyanki wield mighty swords. Imagine what I could do with an equally mighty weapon or item to use against them! Give me one and I promise you'll not regret it! |
| 94892 I'll save my breath for the battle. |
| 94893 With each blow I land upon my enemy, I shall imagine I am crushing one of you cowering weaklings! |
| 94894 Your champion has spoken! They shall smite your enemies and drive them back to their own vile plane, have no fear! Let the games begin! |
| 94895 You fool no one but yourself, <CHARNAME>. Begin! |
| 94896 What a joy it would be to see your mighty gift turned against the legendary blades of the githyanki! For now, however, the champion must make do with what <PRO_HESHE>'s got. Begin! |
| 94897 Save your breath? I should've saved my money for a true performer. Let the combat begin. |
| 94898 We are called weak and cowardly! Well, let us see how this performer fares against the masters of planar travel! Combatants, to arms! |
| 94899 You shall pay for this inconvenience, puny one. |
| 94900 Gith take you! |
| 94901 Feel my blade, weakling! |
| 94902 Your race is feeble! |
| 94903 You are but quarry for planar hunters such as ourselves! |
| 94904 Your death shall be painful and slow! |
| 94905 Your feeble attacks cannot injure me! |
| 94906 What's this List you spoke of? |
| 94907 Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. |
| 94908 Funny stuff. You know what I think is funny? X-ing people. |
| 94909 "X-ing" people? what does that mean? |
| 94910 That is funny. It'd probably be even funnier if I knew what in the Nine Hells you were talking about. |
| 94911 Forget it. I was just leaving. |
| 94912 I am Sir Timmoth Goodtree, Knight of the Order of the White Sun, Champion of Tempus. I slew the demon Ormias in the battle of Archenbridge. I see you arrived with the rest of us. I don't know about you, but I have no intention of remaining here long. |
| 94913 We're of one mind on that. Do you have a plan to get out? |
| 94914 I don't understand how we got captured. Were those bounty hunters really so strong? |
| 94915 Myself, I plan to become champion here. It seems like a good opportunity to improve my skills and build some wealth. |
| 94916 First, I must study our enemies. The guards, Dennaton, the Winged, and her followersâ€â€all will have their faults, some of which we might take advantage of. |
| 94917 I'll come to you if I think you have a part to play in this plan. I would see what you are made of before committing myself to you. |
| 94918 What do you think of this place? |
| 94919 How were you caught? |
| 94920 Would you fight with me in the next match? |
| 94921 I will take my leave now. |
| 94922 There's nothing to gain in lamenting the past. What matters is what we do now. I will study our enemies. The guards, Dennaton, the Winged, and her followers, all will have weakness we can take advantage of. In that, they are no different from any other opponent. |
| 94923 What do you think of this place? |
| 94924 How did Dennaton capture you? |
| 94925 A man like you would make a valuable ally in the arena. Would you consider fighting with me in my next match? |
| 94926 I will take my leave now. |
| 94927 The arena can be seen as a training ground of sorts. Certainly, we must face the battles therein with the same boldness we would on a true field of honor. |
| 94928 But I do not believe there is any worth to it beyond that. In all other ways, it is a vile place that must be wiped from the face of Faerûn. I am working now on a plan to escape. |
| 94929 What do you make of this place? |
| 94930 How were you caught? |
| 94931 Would you fight with me in the next match? |
| 94932 I will take my leave now. |
| 94933 I must speak first of this shrine area. To be frank, I could not care less about this alcove to mercurial Tymora, or the privy yonder where that festering boil of a god, Garagos, is made to throne. |
| 94934 Watch what you say, knight. You will pray to Garagos one day. |
| 94935 Tempus tolerates your wretched god, Laris. I suppose I can extend the same courtesy to you. |
| 94936 But this supposed altar to Tempus... What can I say? It befits the cult of a soft goddess like Sune more than the Lord of Battles. There's no vigor here, no dignity. |
| 94937 Y-you, you're a big-headed brute, aren't you, Timmoth? Why don't you assist me, then? All you do is stand there and pass judgment. No one's asking you to stay; you're free to leave our shrine if you don't like it. |
| 94938 I don't need your permission to come and go. And I will leave this place altogether, not just your sad shrine. |
| 94939 As for the rest of the arena, it's a blight. But you know that already. |
| 94940 How did you come to be here? |
| 94941 Indeed. I've a favor to ask. Would you fight with me in the next match? |
| 94942 I will take my leave now. |
| 94943 I was defending a village on the Delimbiyr River against a band of raiding orcs. I had little more than a score of warriors at my command, but we were trained fighting men and women all. We formed a shield wall, seven wide and three deep, blocking the only trail into the village. |
| 94944 Fascinating, I love tales of battle. Go on. |
| 94945 Sorry to interrupt. Will this story take long? |
| 94946 Skip to the part where you get captured. I don't have all day. |
| 94947 I stood in the center of the first line, my shield locked with those of my comrades left and right, a short sword in my free hand. In a shield wall, there's no room to swing a long blade. |
| 94948 A hundred orcs or more charged us, as orcs willâ€â€a motley crew in complete disarray. Some wielded nothing more than sticks. Others had dented helmets and rusty swords. |
| 94949 That is the ecstasy of Garagos! Glorious must have been their rage! |
| 94950 We met their charge. The line shook, but our feet were well planted and our wall held. They stood no chance. |
| 94951 Then how were you made a prisoner here? |
| 94952 Was it so boring that you fell asleep and were captured? |
| 94953 Suddenly, in front of me, I saw the planetar. I do not know where she came from. She raised her sword and spread her wings. The air rippled in a silent explosion. All those around us, human and orc alike, fell as one. |
| 94954 I understood she was challenging me to single combat. We traded blows for I know not how long. I've never met a fighter as skilled as she. Eventually, she brought me to one knee and put her sword's tip to my neck. I had no choice but to yield. |
| 94955 Her companions put me in shackles. The next thing I knew, I was here. |
| 94956 What do you make of this place? |
| 94957 Would you fight with me in the next match? |
| 94958 I will take my leave now. |
| 94959 Each tale of battle is a prayer to Tempus. To interrupt one is sacrilege. |
| 94960 My apologies. Please, continue. |
| 94961 I've never had much use for gods. |
| 94962 I care nothing for your god. |
| 94963 Then I've no use for you. Do not speak to me again. |
| 94964 As I was about to say, I stood in the center of the first line. My shield was locked with those of my comrades left and right. In my free hand, I held my short sword. In a shield wall, there is no room to swing a long blade. |
| 94965 Very well: In summary, the Hunters appeared and the planetar defeated me in single combat. Are you satisfied? I hope so, as we'll not speak again. |
| 94966 I doubt we need each other's aid at this stage. If you're so skilled a combatant, you'll succeed on your own. When things get more difficult, we can revisit the matter. |
| 94967 What do you think of this place? |
| 94968 How does a man of your strength and martial skill end up in a pit like this? |
| 94969 I will take my leave now. |
| 94970 You have done well enough for yourself thus far. Perhaps we will fight together another time. |
| 94971 I hope so. What do you think of this place? |
| 94972 If we survive that long. How were you caught? |
| 94973 I will take my leave now. |
| 94974 You fought valiantly against the sahuagin and the githyanki. Yes, I will fight at your side. The price of collaboration has been set at 1,500 gold pieces, correct? |
| 94975 Indeed. And here it is. |
| 94976 Unfortunately, I don't have the gold. I'll return when I do. |
| 94977 Honor and glory aren't payment enough? |
| 94978 I will meet you in the arena. |
| 94979 I was about to ask you the same. Let us unite our strengths. We share a bond forged by the violence of this place, a bond stronger than steel or iron. I look forward to joining you in the arena. |
| 94980 You shoulda taken a look inside your pouches before asking me. I am still willing to join you, however. Return when you have the gold. |
| 94981 Do you know who I am, <CHARNAME>? The next time you come to me with such a request, you would do well to take it seriously. |
| 94982 I have met Sir Timmoth Goodtree, Champion of Tempus and Knight of the Order of the White Sun. He seems a capable warrior who may prove a useful ally in the future. |
| 94983 I thought I made it clear we have nothing to talk about, <CHARNAME>. |
| 94984 I hope you're faring well, <CHARNAME>. Is there anything I can do for you? |
| 94985 I found this gauntlet in the Winged's chamber. I thought you might know what the inscription meant. |
| 94986 How are you doing in the arena? |
| 94987 How are your plans for escape coming along? |
| 94988 I have a plan to escape. Will you fight with me? |
| 94989 I would have you fight alongside me in the next match, if you're willing. |
| 94990 Nothing for now. Thank you. |
| 94991 What were you doing in the Winged's quarters? |
| 94992 Looking for any advantage I could find. We must face the Winged sooner or later. |
| 94993 Nothing in particular. I was just curious and a little bored down here, to tell the truth. |
| 94994 I was looking for the equipment they took away when they brought us here. No luck so far, unfortunately. |
| 94995 I presumed she and the other Hunters would keep a few valuables. May as well try to make a profit while I'm here. |
| 94996 That's no business of yours. |
| 94997 I see. Researching your opponent, or weakening them prior to battle, is an integral part of warfare. Show me the gauntlet. Let's see if we can learn something from it. |
| 94998 Perhaps you'd do better spending more time in the training hall. That said, you may have found something useful. Show me the gauntlet. |
| 94999 What I would not do to have my blades Dragon Breath and Hornet Sting returned to me. Perhaps that gauntlet is something you or I could wear? Let me see it. |
| 95000 I do not understand your kind. You are a prisoner. Your first and only concern should be regaining your freedom. Show me the gauntlet. Maybe it is something that will prove useful. |
| 95001 As you wish; don't tell me more. Do show me that gauntlet, though. We might learn something useful. |
| 95002 Hmm... I recognize the writing. It is the celestial tongue. It says: "To Faith, Family, Masters, and all Good Beings of Faerûn." |
| 95003 These are the fourfold duties that are part of the Code of Torm! |
| 95004 These are the fourfold duties that are part of the Code of Tormâ€â€the god who watches over the weak and the defenseless. |
| 95005 Why would a slaver have a gauntlet dedicated to such a god? Is it a trophy, taken from one of her victims? |
| 95006 She is a celestial herself, and many of them do worship Torm. Could it be a reminder of her past? Has she fallen from her faith? |
| 95007 Is there a way to use this to our advantage? I see none, but that may change. Keep the gauntlet safe. Unfortunately, we cannot wear it ourselves. It has power, but only a celestial may wield it. |
| 95008 I'm finding more satisfaction there than I expected. There is little honor in this type of battle. Still, combat is a powerful draught for the spirit. Men such as I only truly live when we fight. |
| 95009 To my side! I am wounded! |
| 95010 Guard me, my strength wanes! |
| 95011 You shall pay for this! |
| 95012 Avenge the fallen! |
| 95013 None can stand against the githyanki! |
| 95014 You never had a hope of survival. |
| 95015 We cannot prevail! They are too powerful! |
| 95016 Flee! Save yourself! |
| 95017 Your pitiful tricks will not save you. |
| 95018 Beware their treacherous magics! |
| 95019 You have defied death, deftly defeated the descendants of Gith herself! Dazzle me with details! |
| 95020 They fought well with blade and magic, but I could not let them live to wreak havoc on this plane. |
| 95021 I fought out of necessity. To survive, I had little choice but to kill them. |
| 95022 There's nothing so pure as the emotions of battle. It cleanses the mind and shows everything else for what it truly is: artifice. |
| 95023 I feel the same. |
| 95024 I never thought of it that way. |
| 95025 I'm just glad I'm still alive. |
| 95026 I enjoy most that moment when I see all life disappear from my enemy's eyes. |
| 95027 You and I are cut from the same cloth. |
| 95028 I found this gauntlet in the Winged's chamber. I thought you might know what the inscription meant. |
| 95029 How's your escape plan coming along? |
| 95030 I have a plan to escape. Will you join me? |
| 95031 Will you fight with me in the next match, as my brother in cloth? |
| 95032 Next time you enter the arena, give yourself up to the moment. You might feel what I do. |
| 95033 I found this gauntlet in the Winged's chamber. I thought you might know what the inscription meant. |
| 95034 How's your escape plan coming along? |
| 95035 Know this: Dennaton's time of reckoning approaches. Will you fight him with me? |
| 95036 Show me how. Fight with me in my next match. |
| 95037 Staying alive is a critical part of fighting! |
| 95038 I found this gauntlet in the Winged's chamber. I thought you might know what the inscription meant. |
| 95039 The terror that precedes death is the same for all creatures regardless their plane of origin. |
| 95040 How go your plans for escape? |
| 95041 I plan to leave this place soon. Will you fight with me? |
| 95042 I've a better chance of surviving if you fight with me in my next match. |
| 95043 I see. Let me just finish writing, and... THERE! "Still stunned by their sudden snatching, the githyanki were soon slaughtered by the slovenly sod, <CHARNAME>." |
| 95044 I know what you speak of. To derive pleasure from it is a mark of particular cruelty. |
| 95045 I am as the gods made me. On another topic, I found this gauntlet in the Winged's chamber. Can you read the inscription? |
| 95046 How go your plans for escape? |
| 95047 I have a plan to escape. There will be an uprising soon. Will you fight with us? |
| 95048 It isn't true! Please, change the record. |
| 95049 I take it you wouldn't want to fight with me in my next match, then. |
| 95050 The more I think about it, the more a confrontation with the Winged and her followers seems unavoidable. As a group, they are exceedingly powerful. I must find a way to somehow undermine them ahead of time. |
| 95051 Go on, then. I'm sick of trying to correct you. |
| 95052 Perhaps this will help. I took this gauntlet from the Winged's chambers. Can you read the inscription? |
| 95053 I shall pierce your flesh a hundred times for each lie you write about me. |
| 95054 How are you doing in the arena? |
| 95055 Would you fight with me in the next match? |
| 95056 Spare me your sniveling. Return to your training and let me get on with the business of record-keeping. |
| 95057 Will I battle my captors? Yes, of course I would. I will await the signal. |
| 95058 I found this gauntlet in the Winged's chamber. Can you interpret the inscription? |
| 95059 Brainless badgering from a barbaric monster! |
| 95060 How are you doing in the arena? |
| 95061 I would have you battle more than just our captors. Join me in my next match. |
| 95062 I'm sure they are. I'll be going now. |
| 95063 If my donation isn't enough for you, I'll just be moving on. |
| 95064 I'm going to check this out. If it's true, I'll return. |
| 95065 I'm going to leave now and give your words the consideration they merit. |
| 95066 Oh, forget this. |
| 95067 Discussing it clearly makes you uncomfortable. May I ask you something else? |
| 95068 Your humility is something else. I must be going. |
| 95069 You have seen your champion fight denizens of the surface realm and the Underdark, prevailing again and again. Now your beloved hero shall defend you against a new threat! |
| 95070 I must take some time to contemplate this wisdom. Excuse me. |
| 95071 You have seen the Scourge of Baeloth's Pits fight denizens of the surface realm and the Underdark and prevail every time! Now, they will face a new foe for your entertainment! |
| 95072 Neither denizens of the surface realm nor the Underdark have been able to lay the enemy of Thay low! Now, the villain <CHARNAME> will face their greatest challenge yet! |
| 95073 From the deepest oceans, I have captured strange and bizarre creatures the likes of which not even Thay's most learned scholars know. Look and wonder! |
| 95074 An ancient and powerful race, the sahuagin produce warriors beyond compare. You will see one, accompanied by its elemental allies, battle our performer in this evening's featured bout! |
| 95075 <CHARNAME>! Before we begin, have you anything to say to the Thayan people? |
| 95076 No beasts from the sea will stop me from defending the worthy citizens of Thay! Rest easy. I am here for you! |
| 95077 Is this the best you can do, Dennaton? I'll slaughter these beasts in moments. I hope you people didn't actually pay for this. |
| 95078 Look at my equipment, my weapons! Are there no better instruments of destruction to be had? With the mighty artifacts your great nation possesses, I could give you an unforgettable show! |
| 95079 Let's get on with this. |
| 95080 I must consider this. Excuse me. |
| 95081 I shall make the battle short. I'm sure you wretches want to return to your worthless lives as soon as possible. |
| 95082 Your hero defends your honor once again, good citizens of Thay! And as always, refreshment carts can be found in the aisles and near each exit. Let the battle begin! |
| 95083 If you feel the battles are too easy, perhaps in the future you should be stripped of your gear. But enough talk. Begin the battle! |
| 95084 We are a rich and mighty nation. Is there no one in the crowd this day who wishes to bestow a gift upon the performer? Think on it while <PRO_HESHE> battles for <PRO_HISHER> life! |
| 95085 As you tire of words, so the crowd tires of you. Let the battle begin. |
| 95086 An insult to the hearty citizens of Thay! Let this performer hear your dismay as the battle... begins! |
| 95087 You shall despair and die. |
| 95088 The depths shall take you. |
| 95089 Prepare to die. |
| 95090 Nothing, I guess. I'll be going now. |
| 95091 Eternal sleep is upon you. |
| 95092 I shall strike your heart. |
| 95093 You shall sink beneath the waves of despair. |
| 95094 Feel the sting of death. |
| 95095 The surfacer has wounded me! |
| 95096 My life blood ebbs! |
| 95097 I shall repay you in kind! |
| 95098 You may kill one of us, but you cannot kill us all! |
| 95099 Your weakness cannot stand against me. |
| 95100 And now you die, surfacer. |
| 95101 Flee back to the depths! |
| 95102 Retreat! The surfacers are too powerful. |
| 95103 The surfacers use powerful magics, beware! |
| 95104 Your tricks shall not defeat us, surfacer. |
| 95105 A stunning skirmish! Did you ever doubt the downfall of the denizens of the deep you dynamically destroyed? |
| 95106 The water weirds were powerful, the sahuagin treacherous, but I was able to end their evil for the greater good. |
| 95107 I had no time to worry about the outcome. I was fighting for my life. |
| 95108 Wonder about the outcome? Don't make me laugh! |
| 95109 Good, very good. Listen to this: "The arid arena weakened the water weirds and sapped the sahuagin's strength, letting the preposterous performer prevail." |
| 95110 They were NOT weakened. |
| 95111 You don't even watch the fights, do you? |
| 95112 I will find you when my time here ends. Then you shall know despair. |
| 95113 Pitiful protests! What happened isn't nearly as important as what is written. |
| 95114 Your evil exploits will have the Thayan people exclaiming encouragement as they elevate the estimation of my editions. Go now, I've work to do. |
| 95115 New players should start with the Tutorial. Shadows of Amn is the continuation of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. |

| 95127 THIEF CONTROLLED: |
| 95128 This script will allow a Thief to either use <PRO_HISHER> Find Traps skill or <PRO_HISHER> Hide in Shadows skill whenever <PRO_HESHE> is idle. By default, the Thief will search for traps when there are no enemies nearby. Pressing the "D" key toggles this setting and causes the Thief to attempt to hide in shadows as long as there are no enemies in <PRO_HISHER> line of sight. Note that the Thief won't attack opponents or defend <PRO_HIMHER>self while either of these skills is in use. Pressing the "V" key toggles this setting and causes the Thief to stop using <PRO_HISHER> skills and start attacking the nearest enemy. (<script>) |
| 95129 BARD CONTROLLED: |
| 95130 This script will allow a Bard to sing <PRO_HISHER> bard song whenever <PRO_HESHE> is idle. By default, the Bard will only sing when enemies are nearby and stop once they are out of <PRO_HISHER> line of sight. Pressing the "D" key toggles this setting and causes the Bard to sing constantly, regardless of enemy presence. Note that the Bard won't attack opponents or defend <PRO_HIMHER>self while singing the bard song. Pressing the "V" key toggles this setting and causes the Bard to stop singing and start attacking the nearest enemy. (<script>) |
| 95131 CLERIC CONTROLLED: |
| 95132 This script will allow a Cleric or a Paladin to turn undead whenever <PRO_HESHE> is idle. By default, the character will only use turning when undead opponents are nearby and stop once they are out of <PRO_HISHER> line of sight. Pressing the "D" key toggles this setting and causes the character to turn undead constantly, regardless of enemy presence. Note that the character won't attack opponents or defend <PRO_HIMHER>self while turning undead. Pressing the "V" key toggles this setting and causes the character to stop turning undead and start attacking the nearest enemy. Pressing the "V" key a second time causes the character to attack any non-undead creatures on sight and automatically switch to turning whenever an undead creature is encountered. (<script>) |

| 95142 Leave us to our meditations. |
| 95143 Our lesson is harsh, but we will endure. |
| 95144 The Twofold will preserve me. |
| 95145 Be vigilant. The Dark Moon has eyes and ears everywhere. |
| 95146 A pity that so many cannot see past the folly of their ways, refusing to bathe in the glory of the Twofold Goddess. |
| 95147 The former Sun Soul disciples among us still have so much to learn. Their... convictions do not sway easily. |
| 95148 The teachings of the Dark Moon are cruel and ruthless beyond comparison. How can one embrace them willingly? |
| 95149 These former Sun Soul monks... their combat training is pitiful. What use is someone that cannot take a simple beating? |
| 95150 The tests have not been kind. But I will endure. |
| 95151 The Trust prevails over its enemies! |
| 95152 Misguided faith has spelled their defeat. |
| 95153 Together we have stood strong. Perhaps there is a truth to be gleaned from this. |
| 95154 How long before another attack comes, and then another? We must be vigilant. |
| 95155 All these people, milling about. New faces every day. I don't like it. We were safer in the shadows. |
| 95156 Has the light truly blinded me? All these teachings are so strange, and yet... |
| 95157 Attempting to hide in shadows |
| 95158 A strong heart, full of shadow and light, beats within your chest, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. |
| 95159 Begone from this place, cur. |
| 95160 Your brother isn't going to avenge himself, Rasaad. |
| 95161 This is a part of the Equalizer, a great long sword forged long ago as a tool for balancing the powers of the universe. Also known as the "sword of neutrality," it did greater damage the further the target's alignment was from True Neutral. The Equalizer was last rumored to have been wielded by the elven hero Alaine Greenleaf, who was lost during a voyage to the Underdark. Other rumors have, however, proposed that the blade's pommel gem was stolen by an escaped slave who returned to the surface world. STATISTICS: Weight: 1 |
| 95162 This is a piece of the Wave, a powerful halberd created as a weapon of vengeance by a cult worshipping Umberlee. It apparently draws water out of its victims and is able to slay creatures of fire almost instantly. Tales say the Wave was lost long ago to the fire giants of the Storm Horn Mountains, but was eventually found by the adventurer Arganon of the Long Reach. He either lost the weapon to a wager in the planar city of Sigil, or it rests with his bones when his ship was sunk during a great storm in the Sea of Swords. No one knows for sure.

| 95166 Another comes to my gorge. What fate awaits them? |
| 95167 Release me from the gorge, Yarrow! |

| 95172 Muahahahahahahahahahaa! |
| 95173 It seems foolishness is not limited to mortals. The magic keeping me here has already begun to fade. Thank you for your efforts, <PRO_RACE>! You were most useful. |

| 95175 Watch my tongue? I should cut yours from your vile mouth! |

| 95180 This one time, I'll permit you this... lapse of judgment. If you would see us fulfill our destiny, do not repeat it. |

| 95182 Prove it, <CHARNAME>â€â€if you can. You have your work cut out for you. Fail and you'll have something more cut OUT of you. |
| 95183 Such mockery does naught but stoke my fury, <CHARNAME>. |
| 95184 Regrets are for the weak, which is all you are. This pathetic episode proves it. |
| 95185 Treachery? |
| 95186 What are you talking about, Dorn? |
| 95187 You accuse me of treachery? Watch your tongue, half-orc. |
| 95188 A minor point, but it would be more accurate to say she took me into her bed. |
| 95189 Ah. Yes. Not my finest hour. A decent eight minutes, though, if I do say so myself. |
| 95190 I do as I will, half-orc. If you've a problem with that, it's yours and yours alone. Deal with it or begone. |
| 95191 I am sorry, Dorn. It was a rash decision, made in the heat of the moment, and I regret it. |
| 95192 Shh. The insult's very sensitive about having no legs. It lost them in an incident during the second Dragonspear War. Ugly battle. It wakes at night screaming, its bed drenched in sweat, the memory of that horrible day scarred into its very soul. |
| 95193 It can and it will, half-orc. You do not own me. |
| 95194 She meant nothing to me, Dorn. You are all that truly matters. |
| 95195 I sicken you? Wow, I really did mess up, didn't I? |
| 95196 Get over it, Dornâ€â€and soon. I've no patience for your nonsense. |
| 95197 Take the half-orc, for instance. His lust for power dwarfs all other concerns in his mind. He would sacrifice anything to increase his mightâ€â€even you. What say you, Dorn? I can give you more than this <PRO_RACE> ever could. |
| 95198 My patron grants me more power than you ever could, vampire. And I doubt he'll let me bow to another. |
| 95199 You will submit to me, Dornâ€â€one way or another. |
| 95200 Ahh! You are right, half-orc. Your patron will not part with youâ€â€not willingly, at any rate. |
| 95201 You should have listened to me, vampire. Now I'll show you a darkness you never imagined! |
| 95202 You will feel my strength now. I'll show you a darkness you never imagined! |
| 95203 Hahah! At last the time has come. Fulfill your destiny, <CHARNAME>! Become the new god of murder and usher in a new age of chaos and destruction! |
| 95204 I'll not bow to you or any worldly entity, vampire. |
| 95205 Ahh! You are stronger than I thought, half-orcâ€â€I would be a fool to make you stronger. |
| 95206 Yes! The time has come, <CHARNAME>! Fulfill our destinies! Become the new god of murder, and together we will usher in an age of chaos and destruction! |
| 95207 You are? Then who's the dead girl? |
| 95208 Let her use itâ€â€or made her? |
| 95209 Best she think of herself as Hexxat. You wouldn't want your arm thinking independently of your body, would you? Letting Clara identify herself as something other than me might have created... issues. |
| 95210 She's dead. That's a pretty big issue. |
| 95211 And who was Clara? |
| 95212 She did what was required of her. |
| 95213 Who isâ€â€WAS she? |
| 95214 Borrowed it? Or had it forced upon her? |
| 95215 Consumed by rage, he didn't realize the helm had properties beyond the obvious one. Like a berserker focused on smashing through a door, he gave no thought to the window right next to it. |
| 95216 You need to lighten up, Keldorn. So she's a vampire, so what? We've all got issues. |
| 95217 Seriously, then: Hexxat stays. You can go or not, the choice is yours. |
| 95218 Keldorn is displeased with my decision to allow Hexxat to accompany us. I fear her presence may cause problems in the future. |
| 95219 Keldorn was displeased with my decision to allow Hexxat to accompany usâ€â€so I asked Hexxat to leave. I hope Keldorn proves worth the effort. |
| 95220 Keldorn was displeased with my decision to allow Hexxat to accompany usâ€â€so much so that he attacked her. Regrettably, I was forced to kill him. |
| 95221 Keldorn was displeased with my decision to allow Hexxat to accompany us. He has left the party. I hope Hexxat proves worth the effort. |
| 95222 Enough! I'll suffer this vile aberration's presence no longer! |
| 95223 The vampire goes or I do, <CHARNAME>. |
| 95224 You've left me no other alternative. |
| 95225 You first! |
| 95226 Are you certain you want to do this, <CHARNAME>? There is much we can offer each other. |
| 95227 It's your call to make, of courseâ€â€but I think you're making the wrong one. When you realize that, you'll be able to find me at the Copper Coronetâ€â€if you're lucky. |
| 95228 You've made the right choice. Creatures such as her invite naught but misery. |
| 95229 You are too gracious, <CHARNAME>. |
| 95230 A beautiful face cannot hide the stink of your corrupted spirit, vampire! |
| 95231 Apparently, I shall need some new perfume. |
| 95232 What you need is annihilation, and I'll happily supply it! |
| 95233 By siding with that thing, you invite your own destruction. I'll not be a party to it. Farewell. |
| 95234 I'm sorry to hear that. |
| 95235 Which vile aberration you're talking about specifically? There are so many... |
| 95236 Explain yourself, paladin. |
| 95237 Then I guess you'd better go, as I am well pleased with Hexxat's company. |
| 95238 As you wish. Hexxat, you're out of here. |
| 95239 Please don't do this, Keldorn. You know how I hate making decisions. |
| 95240 I do not respond well to ultimatums, Keldorn. |
| 95241 And you've done the same. I'm afraid this is where we part ways. |
| 95242 Very well. I'm sorry, Hexxatâ€â€the paladin has left me with no choice. You will have to leave. |
| 95243 Then here is my answer, you judgmental sack of rotted onionsâ€â€die! |
| 95244 I do not want to do it, but Keldorn has forced my hand. You must go. |
| 95245 Can you offer some examples? No, wait. I think I'm happier simply to imagine them. |
| 95246 When you put it that way, I'd be a fool to let you go. |
| 95247 Keldorn could no longer tolerate Hexxat's presence in the party. I was forced to dismiss her. |
| 95248 As Keldorn was completely unable to accept Hexxat's role in our company, I was forced to dismiss him. |
| 95249 Keldorn was unable to tolerate Hexxat's place in our group. Ultimately, it led to bloodshed and Hexxat was destroyed. |
| 95250 Keldorn was unable to tolerate Hexxat's place in our group. Ultimately, it led to bloodshed and Keldorn was slain. |
| 95251 What is your plan for the vampire, <CHARNAME>? |
| 95252 I no longer breathe, but my hearing is fine. |
| 95253 She cannot remain with us. |
| 95254 I believe you mean it is OUR decision. |
| 95255 If she stays, I will have to make a decisionâ€â€and soon. |
| 95256 We are both reasonable people, Anomen. Surely we can work together? |
| 95257 Siding with a vampire is hardly reasonable, <CHARNAME>. |
| 95258 I have made my feelings on the matter known. |
| 95259 You would seriously toss me aside at this zealot's command? |
| 95260 You'll regret this, <CHARNAME>. And soon. If you're lucky, you'll still be able to find me at the Copper Coronet when you realize the mistake you've made this <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 95261 For you, <CHARNAME>, I shall try. |
| 95262 Very well. Hexxat, I'm afraid you'll have to leave. |
| 95263 I'd ask why not, but I suspect the answer would either bore or anger me. |
| 95264 That is my decision to make, Anomen. |
| 95265 Well, Anomen? Are you willing to be reasonable? |
| 95266 She is making an effort, Anomen. Can't you do the same? |
| 95267 I advise you to learn, knightâ€â€Hexxat is going nowhere. |
| 95268 He is a friend, and I trust his judgment. |
| 95269 I'm not tossing youâ€â€more gently placing you to the side where you will likely be happier without me. |
| 95270 He does not command me. I have made my decision. Go. |
| 95271 Anomen is uncomfortable with the notion of having a vampire among us. I am convinced Hexxat is a valuable asset for our party, and told Anomen as much. He will carry on with me, for the time being at least. But I fear I've not heard the last of this. |
| 95272 Anomen is uncomfortable with the idea of having a vampire among us, and it's a valid concern. I have dismissed Hexxat. |
| 95273 I am sorry, <CHARNAME>. I have tried to come to terms with Hexxat's presence, but I can abide no longer. |
| 95274 Say you are done with her. |
| 95275 And if I was to say I'll not remain with a party that harbors a vampire? |
| 95276 So that's the way of it. You shall come to rue this day, <CHARNAME>. See if you don't. |
| 95277 It is bad enough. More than that. I should never have allowed this to proceed as far as I have. Say you are done with her, <CHARNAME>. I beg you. |
| 95278 You don't want to let me go, <CHARNAME>... There is so much I could do for you... That we could do for each other. |
| 95279 It's your mistake to make. When you realize the gravity of your error, you may be able to find me at the Copper Coronetâ€â€if you are lucky. |
| 95280 Sorry to dampen your mood, but you do have a decision to make. Me or the vampire. |
| 95281 You not only choose to ally yourself with an undead, you would raise your hand against me? This vampire has gotten under your skin, <CHARNAME>, though not as deeply as my sword will. |
| 95282 Is there nothing I can say to change your mind? |
| 95283 Come now, Anomen. Surely it's not as bad as all that. |
| 95284 Then you should leave. Hexxat is far too valuable for me to cast aside on your word. |
| 95285 Alas, we still have much to do together, she and I. |
| 95286 Forgive me, Hexxat. It would seem your time among us is to be shorter than I had hoped. |
| 95287 You do not tell me what to say, knight. Count yourself fortunate I'm in a good mood, or I'd have your tongue out for that. |
| 95288 Then I wouldâ€â€with no little regretâ€â€say that Hexxat had to leave. |
| 95289 I'd rather you not say that, Anomen. |
| 95290 Then I would say you no longer have a place with me. |
| 95291 Alas, we still have much to do together, she and I. |
| 95292 I hope you're right, Hexxat. I'd hate to lose a friend for nothing. |
| 95293 You make it sound tempting, but I'm afraid Anomen's mind is made up, which means my mind is also made up. |
| 95294 You are trying to manipulate me, vampire. You should know better. Go now, before I lose patience with you. |
| 95295 Obviously, I cannot toss aside an old and cherished friend. |
| 95296 When you put it that way, there really is no contest. I advise you to put it some other way, for I will choose Hexxat every time. |
| 95297 You have indeed dampened my mood. And you'll pay a high price for that. |
| 95298 He made an effort, I'll give him that, but despite it, Anomen could not accept Hexxat's place in the party. He has left our ranks. |
| 95299 He made an effort, I'll give him that, but despite it, Anomen could not accept Hexxat's place in the party. I cannot lose Anomen, so I sent Hexxat on her way. |
| 95300 He made an effort, I'll give him that, but despite it, Anomen could not accept Hexxat's place in the party. When I refused to send her away, violence erupted. Sadly, Anomen was killed. |
| 95301 He made an effort, I'll give him that, but despite it, Anomen could not accept Hexxat's place in the party. When I refused to send her away, violence erupted. During the battle, Hexxat was destroyed. |
| 95302 Making preparations in case you're tempted to leave the job unfinished. Until you have what L wants in your hand, the Casque is a one-way ticket. You won't be allowed to return until you've achieved your objective. |
| 95303 You were told to leave this place, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 95304 No, you won't. You had your chance. Now you will never leave. |
| 95305 You had your chance. You should have taken it. |
| 95306 Then you will never leave. |
| 95307 I cannotâ€â€not until I've finished what I came here to do. |
| 95308 I will soon, I promise. |
| 95309 I will leave when I decide, monk, not you. |

| 95315 Six new portraits to customize your hero |
| 95316 Design the perfect hero for your game with six additional portraits from artist Kieran Yanner. Create a new hero and select one of these striking portraits during character creation, or give an existing hero a fresh look on the Customize menu in the Record screen during play. Features: – Three male portraits – Three female portraits |
| 95317 I do not mean to alarm you, good people of Thay, but I must be honest. I fear for your beloved champion. Today, they face a foe of cunning and power that will take them to their limit! Let your champion hear you cheer their name! |
| 95318 I am not a sentimental man, but concern wells in my chest for our performer. Our next adversary possesses such cunning and power that even the mighty <CHARNAME> will be hard pressed to survive. Now, let me hear your cheers! |
| 95319 People of Thay, today your nemesis, who has mocked you at every opportunity, faces a foe of such cunning and power that victory will be nearly unattainable! |
| 95320 For your entertainment, I have found a sorcerer of such immense power that even the very manifestations of the elemental planes obey his every command. |
| 95321 With power enough to chill the heart of even the most steadfast warrior, this sorcerer is sure to prove a mortal challenge to our valiant performer! |
| 95322 As always, before we begin, I want to give you the opportunity to speak to your fans, <CHARNAME>. These may be your last wordsâ€â€choose them well. |
| 95323 No sorcerous trickery, no summoned elemental lord, no conjurer of any power will thwart me. I fight for Thay! |
| 95324 A halfling mage, Dennaton? Is your audience so easily parted from their hard-earned gold? |
| 95325 This shall be poor entertainmentâ€â€unless some generous patron or patroness has something I might use to enhance the spectacle. Anyone? |
| 95326 I have nothing to say. |
| 95327 You Thayans will regret caging me. When I am free, all Thayans will cower in their bedchambers at night, fearful that the mighty <CHARNAME> will come for them from the shadows! |
| 95328 Stand and cheer for your champion! You may turn the tide in favor of your hero. Raise your voices, cheer! |
| 95329 Let the games begin! |
| 95330 The performer calls for an item of power, a favor from the beloved people of Thay! Do not disappoint <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 95331 The performer calls for an item of power, a favor from the beloved people of Thay! Do not disappoint <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 95332 The elementals would have been more interesting. Begin the battle. |
| 95333 Is there no good to be found within this performer's dark soul? No, I daresay there isn't. Very well, let Thay's antagonist fight for <PRO_HISHER> survival! |
| 95334 Dogar |
| 95335 Kazon |
| 95336 Your cannot resist my charms. You will be mine, and you will die. |
| 95337 Elementals, attack! |
| 95338 You will fall prey to my spells, weakling. |
| 95339 Your defenses will not stand forever! |
| 95340 I shall destroy your mind, then your body. |
| 95341 My elementals will destroy you! |
| 95342 My magics will shroud your mind in darkness. |
| 95343 Elementals, to my aid! |
| 95344 I am wounded! Shield me! |
| 95345 You shall pay for your impertinence! |
| 95346 Kill one and two more shall rise against you! |
| 95347 Now we see that I am the stronger! |
| 95348 Your death reveals your weakness. |
| 95349 The battle has turned! |
| 95350 Tymora favors our enemy! |
| 95351 You, back to the fight! |
| 95352 Get up! Fight! |
| 95353 A malevolent mage and his menacing minions, managed magnificently! Tell me all. |
| 95354 The sorcerer was evil. I couldn't risk him escaping and unleashing destruction across Faerûn. These thoughts spurred me to victory. |
| 95355 The elements must remain in balance. Defeating the sorcerer restored nature to its proper state. |
| 95356 The sorcerer was a powerful foe. By defeating him, I took his power as my own. With it, I shall rise to even greater heights! |
| 95357 Fantastic material. Truly. The record shall say that the halfling's henchmen helped his harrier, allowing the petulant performer to prevail. |
| 95358 They did no such thing. I defeated the sorcerer and elementals both! |
| 95359 Write what you will. Anyone foolish enough to believe your lies matters not. |
| 95360 When I gain my freedomâ€â€and I willâ€â€you will be one dead scribe. |
| 95361 Your banal blunders are far too boring. My trade is telling talesâ€â€ENTERTAINING tales. Leave me. |
| 95362 Search for me if you somehow survive this servitude. It will make for an entertaining story. |
| 95363 It has been said the mighty hero of Thay would travel to the Nine Hells themselves to defend your honor. This day we'll see if those tales are true! Raise your voices and cheer for <CHARNAME>! |
| 95364 It has been said that this arena's performers could challenge the Nine Hells and prevail. Today, one of them has that opportunity. |
| 95365 A scourge, a bane, a hated adversary strides before you. You have called this performer a devil and a demon alike. Today, we'll find out how true that is. |
| 95366 From the depths of the Hells and the Abyss, the mightiest devils and demons have been brought here to battle this performer. |
| 95367 Those in the first row who are in the habit of leaning over the safety railing, I beg you exercise restraint. I'd hate to see you decapitated. |
| 95368 And as always, I offer you the chance to speak to your fans, <CHARNAME>. What would you have them know? |
| 95369 Nothing can overcome my zeal for defending the Thayan people! I shall defeat these fiends for you, my noble patrons! |
| 95370 Devils and demons? They're nothing but imps, you wretched fraud! |
| 95371 Who would see these fiends beg for mercy? Give me the means and I'll have this entire host on its knees before you! |
| 95372 Let's just get this over with. |
| 95373 I see devils and demons each time I look at this accursed audience! If you wish to see the true fiends, look to yourselves! |
| 95374 What nobility! What courage! People of Thay, I give you your champion! Raise your voices and lend your strength, for it will be needed. Let the battle begin! |
| 95375 I'll reward these "imps" with your prize money when they skewer you. Let the battle begin! |
| 95376 Imagine it! Demons and devils, begging for mercy! Surely there is one among our benevolent patrons who can help our performer make it happen? |
| 95377 Yes, let's. Begin! |
| 95378 He calls us demons and devils! Let this impudent performer face the true demons and devils and fight for survival! |
| 95379 I shall barter with your soul. |
| 95380 Defeat the mortal! |
| 95381 I shall have your soul! |
| 95382 You shall burn upon my fires! |
| 95383 I shall smite your pitiful body to the ground. |
| 95384 Come to your doom. |
| 95385 Your future is pain and despair. |
| 95386 Curse you, mortal, you shall not defeat me! |
| 95387 You cannot kill me, fool! |
| 95388 You shall burn for that, mortal! |
| 95389 You may slay one, but you cannot slay us all! |
| 95390 Now your soul is mine! |
| 95391 I shall feast on your flesh and your soul! |
| 95392 We are defeated! Retreat! |
| 95393 Back, fall back! The mortal has won! |
| 95394 Back to the fight! Slay the mortal. |
| 95395 You lazy fool, return to the battle! |
| 95396 Deftly defying dastardly demons and devils, dishing out death and destruction! Share your sensational secret! |
| 95397 Devils and demons have no place troubling good and decent people. It fell to me to banish them back from whence they came. |
| 95398 Devils and demons on this plane disrupt the natural order. Also, if I hadn't killed them, they would have devoured my soul. |
| 95399 These infernal fiends made the mistake of attacking someone even more evil and twisted. They've paid the price. |
| 95400 The record shall read: "The demons and devils, diverted and disorganized due to dividing differences, slew each other, leaving the performer victorious." |
| 95401 Not so! I slew more than the devils and demons combined! Change it, scribe! |
| 95402 Not so! I slew more than the devils and demons combined! Change it, scribe! |
| 95403 Do your readers actually believe your nonsense? |
| 95404 You shall find yourself alongside the fiends I recently dispatched if you do not watch your tongue, scribe. |
| 95405 Mine is for writing and yours is for warring. Now sharpen your sword or whatever it is you people do in your spare time. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 95406 The perfect close to this chapter. You just helped me sell a few more copies. My thanks! |
| 95407 Love hearing heresies? Fascinated with fathoming philosophies? Do you linger at temples listening to the priests debate the merits of their beloved gods and goddesses? If so, you're in for a treat! |
| 95408 Love hearing heresies? Fascinated with fathoming philosophies? Do you linger at temples listening to the priests debate the merits of their beloved gods and goddesses? If so, you're in for a treat! |
| 95409 Love hearing heresies? Fascinated with fathoming philosophies? Do you linger at temples listening to the priests debate the merits of their beloved gods and goddesses? The adversary of Thay stands ready! Observe! |
| 95410 It is commonly believed that light and darkness constantly war, one against the other. You may be surprised, even shocked, to learn not everyone shares this opinion. |
| 95411 The Cult of the Twofold believes that light and darkness both spring from a single goddess, Shar and Selûne combined. If you doubt my words, then believe your eyes, for they stand before you today, ready to fight! |
| 95412 But before the clash beginsâ€â€<CHARNAME>, would you care to address your adoring fans? |
| 95413 Heresies have no place in Thay! I shall silence this cult's lies forever so all gods-fearing people can worship without fear. |
| 95414 Priests and scribes, Dennaton? Ridiculous. I'll try to end this before the crowd falls asleep. |
| 95415 Cults often possess relics of untold power. I wonder, do any of you possess some token I might use to thwart this twisted order? |
| 95416 I am a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of action! Let the battle begin! |
| 95417 I'm not surprised this detestable nation harbors such foul blasphemers. Watch me visit the gods' wrath on these heretics. As I kill them, I think of you. |
| 95418 Said like a hero heaven-sent to conquer the foes of Thay! Raise your voices! Raise your fists! Cheer for <CHARNAME> as the battle begins! |
| 95419 You'll require the aid of priests if you continue speaking to me in that way. Let the games begin! |
| 95420 Aha! Will the good people of Thay leave this performer to face ancient magics without any aid? Come forward! Bestow a gift on this performer and watch the battle unfold! |
| 95421 We'll need to work on your speaking skill, <CHARNAME>. But for now, let the games begin! |
| 95422 Have you ever heard such malevolence? Thayans, let this performer hear your displeasure! Raise your voices against them! Let the games... Begin! |
| 95423 The goddess's darkness will take you. Her light will reveal your transgressions. |
| 95424 Kill the assassin! |
| 95425 Defend yourselves against the assassin's attacks! |
| 95426 We shall show you the true nature of existence as we end yours! |
| 95427 Your mind and body are weak! |
| 95428 You shall fall before us! |
| 95429 Stare into the darkness and weep for your hopelessness. |
| 95430 I require healing! Save me! |
| 95431 Goddess, help your humble servant! |
| 95432 We have lost a comrade! |
| 95433 Avenge the fallen! |
| 95434 Into darkness I send you! |
| 95435 The Twofold's light exposes your weakness. |
| 95436 They are too powerful! Goddess, protect us! |
| 95437 Escape into the darkness! The Goddess will hide us! |
| 95438 Return to the battle! We will prevail! |
| 95439 Your trickery will not stop all of us! |
| 95440 You have silenced the monks of the Twofold Trust! Please, share the secrets of your stunning success! |
| 95441 Mortals should not twist the gods' truth. The cult was a poison. It had to be stopped. |
| 95442 The true balance of darkness and light does not lead to violence. The cultists forgot this, leaving me no choice but to destroy them. |
| 95443 The fools prayed when they should have trained for battle. A fatal mistake. |
| 95444 Riveting remarks. Now listen as I read the record: "As the cultists knelt in penitent prayer, the perfidious performer took them by surprise, emerging victorious through vile villainy." |
| 95445 No. They were defeated honorably. |
| 95446 Have it your way, Stannel. No one cares about your nonsense. |
| 95447 I'll skewer you on a sharpened spear, stupid scribe! |
| 95448 You and I are the only ones who will hear your pitiful protests, while an entire nation will read my worthy words! |
| 95449 Oh my! The ardent adventurer attempts alliterationâ€â€a perfect closing for this volume. You are ever so helpful. |
| 95450 Greetings, honored guests! Recline in your seats and allow yourselves to be diverted as your hero, <CHARNAME>, fights for your honor! |
| 95451 Greetings, honored guests! Recline in your seats and let this next performer take your troubled minds far from the rigors of your daily responsibilities. |
| 95452 Greetings, honored guests! Recline in your seats and let the following spectacle take your troubled minds far from the rigors of your daily responsibilities. Let yourselves be diverted as your hated enemy, <CHARNAME>, fights for survival! |
| 95453 I have brought many bizarre and powerful creatures here for your amusement. Great beasts and cunning fighters have graced these pits; powerful magics have released their fury within these walls. |
| 95454 But nothing has prepared you for this evening's spectacle. I bring you the shattering golem! |
| 95455 <CHARNAME>. Have you anything to say before we begin? |
| 95456 I would gladly strike down a hundred golems in my patrons' honor. |
| 95457 "Shattering golem"? Are you joking? |
| 95458 My mouth is parched! Had I some fine spirits to moisten my lips, I could promise a fine spectacle! |
| 95459 I'll save my words for when we're finished. |
| 95460 A shattering golem? Only in Thay... |
| 95461 I daresay you shall have your chance. Let the battle begin! |
| 95462 Your mocking tone tempts me to make your next fight your last! Begin the battle. |
| 95463 There are no finer spirits to be found anywhere else! Surely there is one among the crowd who can wet the lips of our mighty performer? |
| 95464 Very well. Pass quietly into obscurity. Let the battle begin! |
| 95465 The performer insults our artisans and wizards! This is an outrage! Men and women of Thay, let this scoundrel hear your displeasure. I shall send the villain to <PRO_HISHER> doom without delay. Let the battle begin! |
| 95466 Thassk Kun appears to be the Hunters' chronicler, for his journal details their numerous adventures, most of which involve capturing or subduing dangerous monsters or adventurers. A typical scheme involves Thassk or Pyrrus locating their prey through divination, followed by an elaborate illusion set up by either Joker or Dormamus that allows the group to get close enough to the target to spring the trap with minimal risk of retaliation and without raising suspicion. Most of the entries follow this same pattern, but a couple that don't catch your eye. "Dennaton is becoming increasingly reckless with his demands. It has been clear to me for some time that his schemes will eventually lead us all to ruin, but I was surprised to see the Winged mention as much to me today. I always thought that their precious secret would bind them together forever, but this off-hand comment implied that may not be the case. A first chink in the armor perhaps..." "The hunters became the hunted for once! Such serendipity! Several devas actually tried to pull a trick on us today, but I was able to see through their illusion before they could spring the trap. They were capable opponents, and they fought with reckless abandonâ€â€almost a religious zealâ€â€ignoring the rest of us and concentrating their entire wrath on the Winged. As always, of course, we triumphed, and I suspect our would-be conquerors will soon find themselves in the arena. "I was puzzled, however, by some things the devas yelled during the battle. 'Your treachery has damned you forever!' they shouted to the Winged, along with, 'No true Tormite would ever abandon her duty!' Most cryptic of all was, 'The souls of Hedasha Gorge shall never be forgotten!' If the rest of Celestia is as obsessed with our leader as these devas were, our lives may be even more exciting than we think." "That damned Red Wizard reject! He has gone entirely too far this time! I shall bear his insults no more! He thinks the Red Wizards defeated us salamanders in the rebellion, does he? Well, there's at least one more casualty left in the old war because Pyrrus is deadâ€â€DEADâ€â€and nothing the Winged says will dissuade me from killing the pompous ape this time!" |
| 95467 Thassk's Journal |
| 95468 You have conquered the countless constructs and made gravel of the great golem! Quite a show! What have you to say of your exploits? |
| 95469 Imagine the harm that golem could do on the streets. It imperiled hundreds of lives. I couldn't allow it. |
| 95470 The golem did as it was ordered, and I acted in self defense. I take little pleasure in victory over a mindless construct. |
| 95471 Not even magically animated earth can stand against me. All who hear my name shall tremble! |
| 95472 Splendid, splendid! Let me just catch that last phrase. Got it. "The multiplying mound of mud malfunctioned, letting the malevolent gladiator triumph." |
| 95473 It didn't malfunction! That's completely unfair! |
| 95474 I care not what you write of me. All that happens here will soon be forgotten, and so will you. |
| 95475 When I win my freedom, I will come for you, scribe! |
| 95476 Your fallible faculties fail you! This record is relevant and reliable. Now go polish your armor and wash yourself. |
| 95477 I look forward to the day you escape this prison more than you know, <CHARNAME>. Good day. |
| 95478 Your attention, please! Make your way to your seats and prepare to again bear witness to the might and devotion of your beloved champion, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95479 Your attention, please! Make your way to your seats and prepare to bear witness to our next performer, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95480 Your attention, please! Make your way to your seats and prepare to again bear witness to the depravity and wickedness of the most reviled enemy of Thay, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95481 Conventional wisdom would have you believe death comes for us all. The next combatants defy conventional wisdom. |
| 95482 She scoffed at death! I give you the lich Leah Redsun and her undead horrors! |
| 95483 But before we begin, have you any words for the audience, <CHARNAME>? |
| 95484 Death in service to the Thayan people holds no horror for me. My life is yours! |
| 95485 I shall slay this rotting hedge wizardess and reveal you for the fraud you are, Dennaton! |
| 95486 A lich is a powerful foe. Give me something, some item to help me fight it, and I'll end this undead horror for all time! |
| 95487 None. |
| 95488 A lich. Finally, a real wizard in this nation of bumbling poseurs. |
| 95489 Not even death itself shall sway the champion of Thay! Let the battle begin! |
| 95490 YOU shall be the only thing rotting with talk like that. Begin! |
| 95491 The performer speaks the truth! The lich is a powerful foe. I implore anyone with the means to help <CHARNAME> to do so now, before it's too late. Now, let the battle begin! |
| 95492 I hope your sword is sharper than your wit. Let the battle begin! |
| 95493 A nation of the greatest wizards in all recorded history are insulted by this vile gladiator! We shall hear no more of your despicable lies. Fight or die! |
| 95494 In death, you will serve me. |
| 95495 Taste your doom! |
| 95496 Your pitiful mortal frame will be wracked by agony! |
| 95497 You cannot stand before my arcane power! |
| 95498 Death shall truly become you. |
| 95499 I shall make you one of my mindless servants. |
| 95500 Servants, dispose of this fool. |
| 95501 Even if you strike me down, I shall rise again! |
| 95502 Fool! You cannot kill me! I am not one of you! |
| 95503 You cannot kill all of my servants. |
| 95504 No matter. I didn't like that servant anyway. |
| 95505 See how your pitiful flesh gives way. |
| 95506 Now you shall serve me forever in undeath. |
| 95507 Servants, defend me! |
| 95508 I have underestimated our foe. |
| 95509 Impossible. How can this be? |
| 95510 Your tricks are clever, but you shall not prevail. |
| 95511 You have laid low the lady lich and live to linger in luxury. Do tell me the details! |
| 95512 The lich was an ancient evil that darkened the face of Faerûn. It was my duty and pleasure to end its existence. |
| 95513 I hardly consider my current circumstances luxurious. |
| 95514 You have no idea the power I gained by destroying the undead wizardess. Soon I shall be free! |
| 95515 Yes, yes, yes. You may stop talking now. The record shall say "Angered by the audience, the ancient arcanist's accomplices assaulted one another, letting the outmatched gladiator snatch victory from <PRO_HISHER> more worthy foe." |
| 95516 The horrors paid no mind to the crowd. They attacked me, and I sent them back to the Hells they came from. |
| 95517 Why do you bother asking for my side of the story at all? |
| 95518 You're a godsdamned liar, scribe. Keep this up and you'll be a DEAD godsdamned liar. |
| 95519 Your fans favor fiction over fact, I fear. Now stop your tiresome talk and return to training. |
| 95520 Again, I appear before you as your humble servant and entertainer. And again, I am honored to present the great champion of Thay, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95521 Again, I appear before you as your humble servantâ€â€I am honored to present the next great gladiator and entertainer, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95522 Again, I appear before you, a humble servant and entertainer. And again, I find myself in the regrettable position of introducing the repulsive scourge of Thay, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95523 Now I must warn you, if there are any cat lovers in the audience, they might wish to leave before this next bout. I have scoured the planes to find the pits' next contestants. |
| 95524 You have known the vicious rakshasa as nothing more than a bard's tale, invented to frighten children and entertain their parents. Today, you will see they are very real and very dangerous. |
| 95525 But before we begin, do you have anything to say to the audience, <CHARNAME>? |
| 95526 Do not fear these monstrous creatures, good people of Thay. They shall fall before before me, your champion! |
| 95527 Pathetic. I'll unmask your so-called rakshasas and reveal them as for the common street thugs they are. |
| 95528 People of Thay, I beseech you, give me the means to send cat hair throughout this arena. |
| 95529 Nothing springs to mind. |
| 95530 Just like Thayans to be frightened by cats. |
| 95531 Even the most frightened members of the audience will rest easy knowing they have a mighty champion fighting for them. Now, let the games begin! |
| 95532 I'm tempted to remove more than a mask from youâ€â€but for now, I'll settle for the rakshasas exposing your weakness to the audience. Fight! |
| 95533 Imagine the excitement of this mighty performer vanquishing the horrid rakshasa with YOUR gift! Come, who could resist such an appeal? Now, let the games begin! |
| 95534 Well, I suggest you bring SOMETHING to mind. The battle is beginning! |
| 95535 Come, fellow Thayans, let us watch our bitter enemy face certain doom! |
| 95536 You pitiful apes will fall before me. |
| 95537 Fight us yourself, Dennaton, you coward! |
| 95538 You are mine to toy with. |
| 95539 Come, Dennaton, if you dare to face us! |
| 95540 Dennaton, you are too much of a coward to face us yourself! |
| 95541 Death to the ape! |
| 95542 Destroy the hairless one! |
| 95543 To my aid, I am wounded! |
| 95544 My wounds require attention! |
| 95545 I shall make you feel the pain of my companion's death. |
| 95546 You will pay for that, ape! |
| 95547 And so the weak primate meets its doom. |
| 95548 How easily you fall before me. |
| 95549 Escape! We are beaten! |
| 95550 Flee, the ape is mighty! |
| 95551 Your foolish trickery shall not defeat us. |
| 95552 Get up and fight the apes! |
| 95553 You frantically fought the felines and found yourself fortunate. What were your thoughts as you faced the rakshasa? |
| 95554 I looked into their eyes and saw hatred and malice. I sensed their evil and knew I could not let them prevail. |
| 95555 "How many actual ways are there to skin a cat?" |
| 95556 I looked at them and saw weakness and fear as I struck them down one by one. |
| 95557 What uninspiring ideas. Do not fear, I shall improve on them. Let's see... "The ferocious felines were fooled by the arena floor's foul footing. Before they found their feet, they were dispatched by the dishonorable duelist." |
| 95558 I'm not dishonorable! |
| 95559 Even if I object to what you write, you won't change it. Why talk with me at all? |
| 95560 You're about to lose more than your footing, Eibor. |
| 95561 The record will remain as written, regardless of your ridiculous requests. I know what I'm doing. |
| 95562 What a thoroughly thoughtless thing to think! Farewell. |
| 95563 Take your seats, steel your nerves, steady your hands, good mistresses and masters of Thay. I give you your champion, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95564 Take your seats, steel your nerves, steady your hands, good mistresses and masters of Thay. I give you... <CHARNAME>! |
| 95565 Take your seats, steel your nerves, steady your hands, good mistresses and masters of Thay. I reluctantly present you your nemesis, the archenemy of Thay, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95566 Thayans are an educated and well-read people. Even so, I daresay few among you know of the strange creatures that will battle before you this <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 95567 From the depths of the Underdark, I have procured the bizarre and alien illithid for your amusement! Yes, the terrible mind flayers shall battle the performer before your very eyes! |
| 95568 But before we begin, do you wish to speak, <CHARNAME>? |
| 95569 My love for Thay will shield my mind from illithid trickery! |
| 95570 Gluing squids onto some goblins won't fool anyone, Dennaton. You're a sham! |
| 95571 Good people of Thay, if I have found any favor in your hearts, please bestow on me some token to aid me in my struggles. |
| 95572 I've nothing to say. |
| 95573 Mind flayers feed on their victims' minds. My opponents would surely starve to death in the witless nation of Thay. I shall kill them out of mercy. |
| 95574 Raise your voices, people! Let your cheers be shields against the beguiling attacks of the treacherous mind flayers. Now, commence the battle! |
| 95575 Squids? Goblins? You shall know the folly of your words soon enough when the illithid devour your feeble mind! Now, let the battle commence! |
| 95576 How can any right-minded person refuse such a request? Surely this performer has earned the favor of at least one among you! Let the battle commence! |
| 95577 Have the mind flayers devoured your brain already? No matter. Let the battle commence! |
| 95578 Only a fool could look at the marvelous people and cities of Thay and think us witless. Let this fool face the mind flayers' wrath as retribution. Begin! |
| 95579 Easily eviscerating the malevolent mind flayers as they gazed gastronomically at your mouth-watering mind! What's it like having their tentacles wrapped around your head? |
| 95580 Their mental powers were formidable. I took strength from the knowledge I was in the right, ridding the world of their evil presence. |
| 95581 It was just another battle among the multitude that occur each day as living creatures struggle to survive. |
| 95582 I enjoy splitting heads in two regardless of how many tentacles they possess. |
| 95583 I think I can make something out of that. Eh... Finished. "Thayan torches so badly blinded the denizens of darkness that they could not see to defend themselves. The despicable victor dispatched the disabled mind flayers." |
| 95584 Oh, come ON. I know you saw them in their lighted pens. |
| 95585 Even you must see how far from the truth your account is. |
| 95586 You're the blind one, you witless record-keeper. |
| 95587 Nonsense. The stress of the pit pollutes your pitiful perceptions. My record is completely accurate. I recommend you rest. Restore your recognition of reality. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 95588 Who is witless? The one who writes of battles or the one who risks life and limb in them? Back to your stable now. I'm busy. |
| 95589 Behold, my generous patrons and patronesses! Behold the most mighty and skilled gladiator of these pits!! Battle-hardened and fierce, yet noble and honorable, it's Thay's champion, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95590 Behold, my generous patrons and patronesses! Behold the most battle-hardened and fierce gladiator the pits have yet produced: <CHARNAME>! |
| 95591 Behold, my generous patrons and patronesses! Behold the pitiless, the vicious, the arrogant archnemesis of Thay, <CHARNAME>! |
| 95592 You have seen them vanquish beasts from the Underdark, from the depths of the seas, from the reaches of other planes of existence. This performer has defeated wizards, liches, even dragons ancient as the world itself! |
| 95593 You have seen all things, mortal and immortal, but there is one thing you have yet to experience... the power of the gods themselves! |
| 95594 YES! People of Thay, I give you the offspring of Bhaal himself, with their faithful cultists, here to battle to the bitter death! |
| 95595 But wait! There's more, my favored guests. If <CHARNAME> somehow prevails, I shall produce a beast practically guaranteed to end <PRO_HISHER> string of victories... to say nothing of <PRO_HISHER> life! |
| 95596 You've had the opportunity to address the audience many times, performer. This may be your last. Have you anything to say? |
| 95597 The Thayan peoples' devotion and love gives me the strength to overcome even those whose veins course with the blood of gods! |
| 95598 Gods? These are men and women. I'll cut their flesh and shatter their bones, proving Dennaton's fraud! |
| 95599 Am I to face the power of the gods themselves unaided? Have I not won favor enough to be granted some token of appreciation to bolster me in my darkest hour? |
| 95600 I have no words left for the crowd. |
| 95601 The Bhaalspawn and their cultists will fall! And the people of Thay will join them soon after! |
| 95602 This claim will be put to the ultimate test! Prepare yourself! The battle begins! |
| 95603 I swear, even if you prevail here, you will suffer a slow and painful death by my hand. Now, fight and die! |
| 95604 Surely not! People of Thay, show your generosity to this humble performer! Give <PRO_HIMHER> aid in this time of need! Now, let the battle begin! |
| 95605 No more words for the crowd? Perhaps I have no coin for you... Begin the battle! |
| 95606 Steady yourselves, my guests. Take your seats and do not be afraid. You will not be harmed. After this battle, <CHARNAME> will be... dealt with. |
| 95607 You shall feed the Lord of Murder. |
| 95608 Your flesh and blood will be a sacrifice. |
| 95609 This arena is the altar of your doom. |
| 95610 The Lord of Murder will smile on your demise. |
| 95611 Bhaal will delight in your death. |
| 95612 Rejoice, for your death will please our lord. |
| 95613 Your blood will be a libation to Bhaal. |
| 95614 Even in death, I will serve my dark lord. |
| 95615 The unbeliever has wounded me! |
| 95616 Kill the unbeliever for this outrage! |
| 95617 Avenge the fallen! |
| 95618 Your soul shall feed my lord. |
| 95619 None can stand before the power of Bhaal! |
| 95620 Bhaal, preserve us! |
| 95621 Bhaal, save us from our persecutor, we beseech you! |
| 95622 You cannot hold the servants of Bhaal for long! |
| 95623 Your trickery is nothing to the Lord of Murder! |
| 95624 You have beaten Bhaal's brood! Impossible... I meanâ€â€how did you do it? |
| 95625 The Lord of Murder preys on the innocent. His children had to be eliminated, no matter the cost. |
| 95626 Even divine power falls before a superior tactician. |
| 95627 My power has reached godlike proportions! I am ready to begin my ascent! |
| 95628 Brazen boasting from a blundering battler. Let me show you how it's done: "The cultists collapsed in confusion as their beloved Bhaalspawn bitterly battled each other. <CHARNAME> surveyed the scene from safety." |
| 95629 Lies! Nothing but lies! |
| 95630 Your lies will be forgotten, as will you. Write what you want. |
| 95631 When the time is right, you will pay for your insults. |
| 95632 My virtuous volumes will leave a lasting legacy long after you languish in the grave. Ha... Now leave, I've things to do. |
| 95633 Face me in battle and there is no power that will save you. |

The price: my support for whatever future plans he concocts. Well worth it." |

| 95642 You were saying, Geshtemachinâ€â€that is your name, correct?â€â€you were saying... well, what WERE you saying? |
| 95643 And you are...? Uh... Whatâ€â€what is this place? Areâ€â€are you my apprentice? |
| 95644 Here, have this drink. It should help you focus. |
| 95645 I am not. Farewell, old man. |
| 95646 Actually, my name is Gezunteitimin. I was talking about how violent heat causes empyreumatic salts in the beet root. |
| 95647 Hmm... Iâ€â€I'll have to reflect on that. |
| 95648 You have a visitor. |
| 95649 Oh! H-hello. Have you been standing there long? Gazmithin and I were... well, we were having an edifying discussion about the, uh... well, something. |
| 95650 I love the old wizard. He's the only one who has anything worthwhile to say in this place. |
| 95651 So, young... one. Uhâ€â€uh, youâ€â€you wanted to speak to me about... something? Please speak loudly and clearly. Goozlemin is a bit hard of hearing, you see. |
| 95652 How did you end up here, Master Ebonbeard? |
| 95653 What do you make of this place? |
| 95654 Would you join my team for the next fight in the arena? |
| 95655 I'll come back later. |
| 95656 So, uhâ€â€Ghoulravin. Yeah, about the beet root's empyreumeutic, uhâ€â€e-empyreumatic, uh, salts. Thoseâ€â€those salts... |
| 95657 Seems the old man's already forgotten about you, <CHARNAME>. I can't say I blame him. Go to the merchants and see if any have Teodgren's Salve of Senile Serenity. That should help him focus, if only briefly. |
| 95658 Dulf Ebonbeard |
| 95659 I have met Dulf "The Ancient Threat" Ebonbeard, an old wizard of suspect mental health. He must have been powerful once, but his mind is now so addled it's difficult to see how he poses much of a threat to anything. |
| 95660 Well, itâ€â€it's good to see you again, uh, Grubash Nettlehammer! Haha! Ha... huh. That's just old man humor. I remember you just fine, <CHARNAME>. What can I do for you? |
| 95661 I have the components you requested for the scroll. |
| 95662 I have this shard from the mirror in Bannor's room. Will it suffice as a scroll component? |
| 95663 How's the scroll coming? |
| 95664 I could use a wizard with your experience in the arena. |
| 95665 I changed my mind. I'll help you acquire the scroll components. |
| 95666 Here are the 12,000 gold pieces you wanted for the scroll. |
| 95667 About that scrollâ€â€I can give you 8,000 gold pieces for it. |
| 95668 How did you come to be here, Lord Ebonbeard? |
| 95669 What do you make of this place? |
| 95670 Nothing for now. Just checking to see how you were. |
| 95671 Well, don'tâ€â€don't worry, Iâ€â€I still know who you are, <CHARNAME>. Now, what can I do for you? |
| 95672 I have the material components you need for the scroll. |
| 95673 I have this shard from the mirror in Bannor's room. Will it do as a scroll component? |
| 95674 How is the scroll coming along? |
| 95675 I could use a wizard's help in the arena. |
| 95676 I changed my mind. I'll get the components you need for that scroll. |
| 95677 Here are the 12,000 gold pieces you wanted for the scroll. |
| 95678 About that scroll. I can only give you 8,000 gold pieces for it. |
| 95679 For now? Nothing. That may change soon. |
| 95680 Well, when it does, be sure to let me know. |
| 95681 Ah, good, y-you're here. Come, my apprentice, we... we've got much work to do. |
| 95682 Before we do that, have a drink. To your health! |
| 95683 I'm afraid I can't help you right now. Farewell. |
| 95684 No! Youâ€â€you don't understand! The diacritics on the old Netherese scrolls ARE critical to proper recitation |
| 95685 He doesn't stop. There is genius in him, buried way down. Do you have that drink I recommended? |
| 95686 Here you go. |
| 95687 Not yet. |
| 95688 I'm afraid Dulf's mind is clouded again. Do you have any more of Bellowgulp's tonic? |
| 95689 Luckily, I do. |
| 95690 Not right now. |
| 95691 Dulf! Here, have a drink! |
| 95692 With pleasure, Gatchounkemin. Uh, here's to your health, myâ€â€my young friend. |
| 95693 Ah! Much better. Uh, thank you, <CHARNAME>. Iâ€â€Iâ€â€Iâ€â€I take it you want to speak with me? |
| 95694 I have the material components you need to make the scroll. |
| 95695 I have this shard from the mirror in Bannor's room; will it suffice as a component for the scroll? |
| 95696 How's work on the scroll progressing? |
| 95697 I could use a wizard with your experience in the arena. |
| 95698 How did a wise and powerful mage like yourself end up here? |
| 95699 Not right now. |
| 95700 Why does Bellowgulp insist on giving his potions such ridiculous names? "Salve"? I'm not rubbing it on the old man's head. |
| 95701 Dulf, our friend here brought us a drink! Let us make a toast. To your venerable age, Dulf Ebonbeardâ€â€by human standards, at leastâ€â€and to many long years ahead. |
| 95702 And to you, myâ€â€my young friend... |
| 95703 Oh, my, that, uh... that IS tasty! Mmm! My head feels, uh... feels light all of a sudden. |
| 95704 Gezzthemin, w-what is in that drink? Bring me a barrel! I feel twenty years youngerâ€â€in mind, if not body. |
| 95705 Our good friend here brought it for you. I believe they wish to speak with you. |
| 95706 Well, I hope there's more where it came from. These tonics never last very long, unfortunately. |
| 95707 So, you had a question. Iâ€â€I'm all yours. For the time being, at least. |
| 95708 How did a master magician like yourself end up here? |
| 95709 Tell me, what do you make of this place? |
| 95710 I could use a wizard with your experience in the arena. |
| 95711 I've no use for you now. Perhaps we'll talk more later. |
| 95712 I can't really recall... The last thing I remember, I was in the Cloven Mountains, riding towards Lachom. The library there houses a collection of scrolls I wished to study. |
| 95713 Speaking of scrolls, I have the material components you asked for. |
| 95714 On a related subject, I have this shard from the mirror in Bannor's room. Will it suffice as a scroll component? |
| 95715 As you mention scrolls, how is ours coming along? |
| 95716 I could use a wizard of your experience in the arena. |
| 95717 What do you make of this place, Master Ebonbeard? |
| 95718 You were doubtless attacked and captured by the Winged and her crew. Nearly all of us were. |
| 95719 I haven't seen much of it. Or maybe I have and just don't remember. It reminds me of some of the wizardry schools built beneath the forest floor of Cormanthor. They did that to protect the ancient trees in the event of an "incident" in one of the schools. |
| 95720 The PEOPLE who brought and keep us here are much more distinct. I remember Dennaton's speech. And I've a very clear picture of the planetar they call the Winged, as well as the large metal golem that follows her. |
| 95721 I know who that golem is, or rather was. |
| 95722 It is Bannor, isn't it? |
| 95723 Bannor was a terrifically talented wizard. |
| 95724 Well, just so. A terrifically talented wizard. |
| 95725 Nobody knows exactly how he ended up in the adamantine golem's form. I theorize he was experimenting with spirit transference, a school of magic not yet fully developed. |
| 95726 Has anyone ever tried to return his mind to his body? |
| 95727 I doubt anyone even knows where that body is now. But the original vessel is unimportant. His mind could be transferred to any being, and that being's spirit would replace his in the golem. It could be done by a supremely skilled wizard. |
| 95728 Like yourself, perhaps? |
| 95729 I don't know if anyone ever tried to return his mind to his body. But the original vessel is unimportant. His mind could be transferred to any being, and that being's spirit would replace his in the golem. It could be done, by a supremely skilled wizard. I might be able to manage it... |
| 95730 Perhaps... |
| 95731 How would you go about it? |
| 95732 Really? You could do that? |
| 95733 Sounds like you may be losing touch with reality again. Do you need another drink? |
| 95734 The spell required is long and complicated. I'd need to inscribe it on a scroll beforehand. All I'd need are a few material components. What do you say? Would you like to help? |
| 95735 Of course. |
| 95736 I'd like to, but I won't. |
| 95737 You're beyond my help, ancient one. |
| 95738 Well, you sound doubtful. Well, you've good reason to be, I suppose. |
| 95739 Well, it wouldn't hurt, but Iâ€â€I believe I'm all right for now. |
| 95740 Wonderful. Get me a wyrm tooth, a carrion crawler egg, and parchment made from ettin skin. Also, I'll need something belonging to Bannor. Anything, so long as it's unique to him. Come back when you have everything and I'll get right on it. What a wonderful, exciting project. It's almost rejuvenating! |
| 95741 Well, that's a shame. Gezzthemin, how about you? Would you like to help? |
| 95742 That would require effort on my part. I think not. |
| 95743 Well, that's a shame! Well... if you change your mind, I'llâ€â€I'll be around. |
| 95744 Me? You want me? An old wizard like me? You're not afraid I'll crumple to the ground in the middle of it? |
| 95745 Your experience will pay off. I'll give you 1,500 gold pieces to join me. |
| 95746 1,500 gold pieces seems to be the going rate for arena assistance. I don't have that much yet. When I do, I'll be in touch. |
| 95747 You may be right. Never mind. |
| 95748 Well, it's good someone values the contribution of their elders. Of course I will join you. Same conditions as before. |
| 95749 Here are 1,500 gold pieces. |
| 95750 I don't have the 1,500 gold pieces. Perhaps another time. |
| 95751 Actually, I've changed my mind. |
| 95752 Well, it's good to feel wanted despite one's advanced age. Uhâ€â€let's go kick some arses. We'll boot them all the way to Icewind Dale! |
| 95753 Well, I've never been good with money myself. Like you say, maybe another time. |
| 95754 Well, I understand. The gods know mine changes often enough! Maybe another time, then. |
| 95755 Wonderful, letâ€â€let me see. Yes, everything I need is there. |
| 95756 With that and the piece of Bannor's broken mirror, I have all I need to begin. I'll let you know when it's done. |
| 95757 Almost. Uh, have you an item belonging to Bannor? |
| 95758 I have this shard from the mirror in Bannor's room. Will it suffice? |
| 95759 I haven't found anything yet. I'll return when I do. |
| 95760 Well, that should work. |
| 95761 I've given this project some thought. I initially took it on as an activity to busy my mind, but there may be more use to it. An ally's mind could be transferred to the golem, bringing its might to our side. |
| 95762 But, given the complex magic involved, only one who is intimate with the Weaveâ€â€a wizard or a sorcererâ€â€will be able to make the transfer. |
| 95763 Well, you can see just how dangerous this scroll could be. Scribing is an immense commitment. I must be certain you are fully committed as well. To prove this, I'll need some substantial coin. 12,000 gold pieces. |
| 95764 12,000 gold pieces! Drink some more of your salve, old man. Make it 8,000. |
| 95765 That's a lot of gold. Fortunately, I have a lot of gold. Here it is. |
| 95766 That's a lot of gold. I just don't have that much right now. |
| 95767 Let me think on this. |
| 95768 12,000 gold pieces? I don't need the scroll that badly. |
| 95769 8,000 gold pieces will suffice. |
| 95770 I have everything I need to begin. I'll let you know when I am finished. |
| 95771 Do you have the other components I requested? |
| 95772 Here they are. |
| 95773 Not yet. I'll be back when I do. |
| 95774 Well, excellent! Now I am confident of your commitment. |
| 95775 I'll begin work on the scroll nonetheless. But you'll not get it till I get the gold. |
| 95776 When you change your mind, let me know. |
| 95777 Let me know when you make your decision. |
| 95778 Well, this magic takes time. I'll come to you when the scroll is ready. |
| 95779 Trading Places |
| 95780 Dulf Ebonbeard wants to scribe a scroll that will make it possible to transfer Bannor's mind to another being. He asked if I would help him assemble the components he needs. |
| 95781 To prepare the scroll, Dulf Ebonbeard asked me to get him a wyrm tooth, a carrion crawler egg, and a sheet of parchment made from the skin of an ettin, as well as an item belonging to Bannor. |
| 95782 Gerrold Darkfellow says he can scribe a scroll of spirit transference, but he cannot fully guarantee its effects. I need to get him an item belonging to Bannor. He also asked for 4,000 gold pieces. |
| 95783 I have acquired the wyrm tooth, the carrion crawler egg, and the sheet of parchment made from the skin of an ettin for Dulf's scroll. |
| 95784 I have found an item belonging to Bannor: a piece of a broken mirror. Perhaps it will do for completing the spirit transference scroll. |
| 95785 Dulf Ebonbeard believes we could use his scroll to our advantage. He asked me to give him a large amount of gold to demonstrate my commitment to this endeavor. |
| 95786 Dulf Ebonbeard has started working on the scroll. He mentioned that only a spellcaster will be able to use it. |
| 95787 Gerrold Darkfellow has started working on the scroll. He mentioned that only a spellcaster will be able to use it. |
| 95788 Dulf Ebonbeard has finally delivered the scroll to me. We can use it when we face Bannor. |
| 95789 Gerrold Darkfellow has finally delivered the scroll to me. We can use it when we face Bannor. |
| 95790 The spirit transference scroll has been used on Bannor. |
| 95791 Eh? Talking instead of training? Typical amateur. You newcomers are always wasting time talking, eating, sleeping... plotting. Take a lesson from a professionalâ€â€spend your time honing your combat skills. You'll live longer that way. |
| 95792 Who are you? |
| 95793 Amateur? What do you mean by that? |
| 95794 What do you mean, plotting? |
| 95795 Never mind. I must be going. |
| 95796 You sure are arrogant. It's a wonder Dennaton could find a helmet to fit your enormous head. |
| 95797 Do what you will. I must return to training. |
| 95798 I will remember your words when we meet in the arena. You will find that my blade is much sharper than your tongue. |
| 95799 I am Symm Haximus, though I'd bet you already knew that. A gladiator of my fame can hardly go anywhere without being noticed. Such is the price of greatness. |
| 95800 Don't think it came easily, though. I've spent every day of my life training for battle. That's why I'm here talking to you instead of rotting in an unmarked grave. You and the other amateurs here would do well to follow my example. |
| 95801 Do you have any advice for me regarding the arena? |
| 95802 You spent every day of your life training? I find that hard to believe. |
| 95803 I would like to ask you something else. |
| 95804 Never mind. I must be going. |
| 95805 When you swing your axe, does your enormous ego get in the way? |
| 95806 Try not to get hit. You'll live longer. |
| 95807 That seems sort of... obvious. |
| 95808 Very... enlightening. I must be going. |
| 95809 Symm Haximus, master of the obvious! Thanks for nothing. |
| 95810 You would think so, wouldn't you? I can't tell you the number of new gladiators I've battled who pay little attention to their own defense. They think that a strong sword arm will save them. Sometimes it does for a few fights. But eventually, they fall. |
| 95811 Pay attention to your defenses. If your enemy cannot strike you, it is just a matter of time before you defeat them. The more cautious gladiator usually wins. Remember that and you might walk out of here alive. That is, if you do not have to face me. |
| 95812 Thank you for the information. Can I ask you something else? |
| 95813 I must be going. |
| 95814 Yes, if I faced you, I would be instantly crushed by your overwhelming ego. |
| 95815 You and the other newcomers. You've never been gladiators before. You haven't spent your lives training to battle before the crowd. You lack the discipline and determination of a true master of the arena. |
| 95816 If you were a true professional, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. We would both be training in the gym, but since you are an amateur here, we stand talking and wasting valuable training time. |
| 95817 Oh, I understand. May I ask you something else? |
| 95818 I must be going. |
| 95819 Talking to you is definitely a waste of time. |
| 95820 Ha. What do I mean by "plotting"? Please. I spend almost all of my time training in the gym, and even I have heard the rumors of your plans to escape. It is the mark of an amateur to let your plans be so widely known. |
| 95821 Be assured, I have made Dennaton aware of your intentions, and he has taken the necessary precautions to keep you in your place. You would be wise to cease your futile planning and focus on training for the arena. |
| 95822 But... why are you helping Dennaton? You are his slave too. |
| 95823 Never mind. I must be going. |
| 95824 Dennaton certainly has you on a short leash. Do you ever think for yourself? |
| 95825 SLAVE? I am no slave! I am a master gladiator. Crowds of thousands gather to watch me fight. I am desired by women and envied by men. I am more free than those who watch me in the arena to escape their boring lives. Now leave me. I must train. |
| 95826 A typical attitude... for an amateur. You have no concept of the amount of work that is required to become a master of the arena. Many believe that strength of arm is all that is required to become a great gladiator. |
| 95827 Nothing could be further from the truth. Battles are won in the training room, not the arena. To be great, you must dedicate your life to training. Determination is the key to victory. |
| 95828 Thank you for the information. Can I ask you something else? |
| 95829 Gladiators are just slaves, Symm. It's not a glorious profession. |
| 95830 I must be going. |
| 95831 I would think that carrying your giant ego around would be enough training. |
| 95832 What is it? I suppose I can take a short break from training. Make it quick, though. I did not become the master of the arena by talking. Training is the key to success, and I am the greatest there has ever been. |
| 95833 Who are you again? |
| 95834 I would like to ask you about something else. |
| 95835 I am planning an escape. Can I count on your help? |
| 95836 Will you assist me in my next arena fight? |
| 95837 Never mind. I must be going. |
| 95838 Typical amateur. Always thinking of talking instead of training. I'll answer your questions, but then it's back to the training room! |
| 95839 Tell me a little about yourself. |
| 95840 How did you end up here? |
| 95841 Could you give me some tips on winning in the arena? |
| 95842 Am I to spend the whole day standing around talking and losing valuable training time? Very well. As you probably already know, I am Symm Haximus, professional gladiator and master of the arena. |
| 95843 I have been a gladiator from my childhood, and I am undefeated! I have fought in countless cities and nations. My fame has spread across the face of Faerûn. |
| 95844 You would be wise to follow my example and train regularly. If you wish to master the arena, spend less time talking and more time training. |
| 95845 Thank you for the information. Can I ask you something else? |
| 95846 Gladiators are just slaves, Symm. It's not a glorious profession. |
| 95847 I must be going. |
| 95848 I would think that carrying your giant ego around would be enough training. |
| 95849 It was inevitable. Dennaton has created the greatest arena fights of all Faerûn. Obviously, he needed the greatest gladiator in all of Faerûn. He contacted my former employer and hired my talents for use here. |
| 95850 I must say that I am impressed. The accommodations are superior to any other arena I've fought in. Dennaton runs the shows expertly. The opponents are challenging. You can imagine a professional such as myself is easily bored by the usual arena fodder. |
| 95851 Thank you for the information. Can I ask you something else? |
| 95852 You sound like you like it here. Aren't you tired of being a slave? |
| 95853 I must be going. |
| 95854 And you can imagine that I am getting bored with your bragging. |
| 95855 I don't share my secrets with amateurs. Prove yourself. Fight at my side. If you're worthy, I'll share some of my techniques with you. |
| 95856 Very well. Can I ask you something else? |
| 95857 I must be going. |
| 95858 Forget it. I'm not fighting next to an egomaniac. |
| 95859 Very well. You've proven yourself to be a proficient warrior. I would be happy to share some of my secrets with you. |
| 95860 If you face a group of enemies, always look for the wizards or priests. Those who wield magic are very dangerous and can incapacitate you, putting you at the mercy of the other combatants. |
| 95861 There are some monsters that can attack your mind. Umber hulks and illithids are two such creatures. If you face them in the arena, be sure to protect your mind from them or the battle will be very difficult. |
| 95862 If you face an assassin or rogue, take care that they're not able to get behind you. They can inflict serious damage if they catch you unaware. That is all I will share with you. The rest you must figure out for yourself, like I did. |
| 95863 Thank you for the information. Can I ask you something else? |
| 95864 I must be going. |
| 95865 Have any more common knowledge to share with me? Thanks for nothing. |
| 95866 Of course, I already know of your plans. Like a typical amateur, you've let rumors of your plans circulate among the other performers. |
| 95867 I have already notified Dennaton of your plans, and he has taken the necessary measures to prevent your escape. Accept your new profession. Spend your time training, not plotting. |
| 95868 But... why are you helping Dennaton? You are his slave too. |
| 95869 Never mind. I must be going. |
| 95870 Dennaton certainly has you on a short leash. Do you ever think for yourself? |
| 95871 Assist you? Certainly. I never miss an opportunity for more training or to study the combat style of my fellow gladiators. You never know when we will be facing each other. I will meet you in the arena for your next fight. |
| 95872 Symm Haximus |
| 95873 I have met Symm Haximus. He claims to be a professional gladiator and seems to think very highly of himself. |
| 95874 I told Symm Haximus that he was a slave, and he became very upset. Perhaps I could use this information to my advantage in the future. |
| 95875 Symm Haximus said he will share some of his secrets with me if I fight with him in the arena. |
| 95876 Don't touch me! Stay back! |
| 95877 Relax, friend. I mean you no harm. |
| 95878 What's wrong? |
| 95879 Would you like me to come back later? |
| 95880 Okaaay. Sure thing, I'll leave you alone. |
| 95881 That would be for the best. I don't want to hurt you. |
| 95882 Is there anything I can do to help you? |
| 95883 You won't hurt me, I assure you. |
| 95884 Goodbye, then. |
| 95885 Sometimes I hurt people without meaning to. They said they'd help. "Come with us; we can help you," they said. Lies, all lies. |
| 95886 They said they'd help me. Lies. There is no one here who can help me. Here or anywhere. |
| 95887 Gerrold's talking about the Planar Hunters. |
| 95888 They tricked me. The Winged said she knew someone who could teach me to control the fire, the explosions, all the magic that comes out of me. |
| 95889 I've burned down villages, killed hundreds of innocent people, turned flocks of sheep into rattlesnakes and farmers into chickens. |
| 95890 I've had enough of it. Nobody |
| 95891 It's all right, Gerrold, Tymora loves you. Your unpredictability is beautiful in her eyes. |
| 95892 Thank you, Molzahn. I do hope she smiles upon me. Someone's got to, surely. |
| 95893 Why did the Hunters bring you here? |
| 95894 I was thinking I'd ask you to join me in the arena. |
| 95895 Are you able to prepare scrolls, by any chance? |
| 95896 Good luck. |
| 95897 Certainly not to help me. I suspect they or Dennaton thought it would be entertaining to have a wild mage in the arena. |
| 95898 I was thinking I'd ask you to join me in my next battle. |
| 95899 Are you able to prepare scrolls, by any chance? |
| 95900 You're mad, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Why would you want that? |
| 95901 Dennaton wouldn't have brought you here if he thought you posed a real threat. |
| 95902 What can I say? I'm a risk-taker. |
| 95903 I love the idea that everything could blow up at any time. It's exciting. |
| 95904 Well, if that's what you believe, all right, I'll join you for your next fight. |
| 95905 Well, as long as you realize what you're getting into. All right, I'll join you for your next fight in the arena. |
| 95906 I used to think that too. It's less amusing after you've accidentally wiped out an entire bloodline. But, all right, I'll join you in the arena if you truly want me to. |
| 95907 Given the risk you're taking, I don't feel right asking you for the going rate for allies. How about we say 500 gold pieces? |
| 95908 Sounds good to me. |
| 95909 It's a good offer, but I don't have that much gold on me. |
| 95910 Come to think of it, maybe it's not such a great idea. |
| 95911 Great, this is great. I'll try not to disappoint you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 95912 Don't worry about it, then. I'll join you for free this time. You're doing me a favor. I'm just happy someone wants me on their side. |
| 95913 Terrific. |
| 95914 On second thought, I think I'd rather go it alone. |
| 95915 Hmm... I did join you last time for free. Don't get me wrong, I thought we worked very well together. But I'd like the gold this time. Ask me again when you have enough. |
| 95916 Oh... Okay. That's okay. I understand. |
| 95917 Sometimes...? Why do you ask? |
| 95918 I need a scroll to heal me and my teammates. |
| 95919 I need something to increase my and my teammates' strength. |
| 95920 I want to swap the minds of two beings. |
| 95921 I really want to turn Tartle into a chicken. |
| 95922 No reason. Excuse me. |
| 95923 I don't know anything about healing. Ask Molzahn; I'm sure she can help you. |
| 95924 All right. What about a scroll to give me and my teammates more strength? |
| 95925 I need a scroll to swap the minds of two beings. |
| 95926 I need a scroll to turn Tartle into a chicken. |
| 95927 Never mind. |
| 95928 I've never cast such a spell, intentionally or otherwise. Sorry. |
| 95929 I need a scroll to heal me and my teammates. |
| 95930 I need a scroll to swap the minds of two beings. |
| 95931 Could you make a scroll that'd turn Tartle into a chicken? |
| 95932 I thought as much, but I had to ask. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 95933 Spirit transference. I've dabbled in it in the past. |
| 95934 I think I could do it. Probably. But, you know, my scrolls are no more reliable than my spells. They generally work as intended... with some unexpected consequences. |
| 95935 If you're game to try, I'll need an item belonging to the being the caster intends to switch bodies with. This is powerful magic. Only skilled spellcasters will be able to use the scroll. |
| 95936 Given that I cannot guarantee its effectiveness, I'll only charge you 4,000 gold pieces. You can pay me when you bring me that item. |
| 95937 I already have such an item. Here. |
| 95938 Very well. I'll be back. |
| 95939 I need to think about this. |
| 95940 Yeah, I'd love to see that. Unfortunately, chicken-shifting for me has only ever been an unintended outcome. I couldn't possibly scribe it onto a scroll. |
| 95941 Could you make a scroll to heal me and my teammates? |
| 95942 What about a scroll to give me and my teammates more strength. Could you do that? |
| 95943 I need a scroll to swap the minds of two beings. |
| 95944 Never mind. |
| 95945 Gerrold Darkfellow |
| 95946 I have met Gerrold "The Herald" Darkfellow, a wild mage known for extremely violent surges. He may be a useful ally in the future... or a complete disaster. |
| 95947 Keep your distance, <CHARNAME>! I say that to be safe. There's very little chance I'll go off without casting a spell. |
| 95948 Are you able to prepare scrolls, by any chance? |
| 95949 I brought you this. It belongs to the one I want to change bodies with. |
| 95950 I have the 4,000 gold pieces for the scroll. |
| 95951 How's the scroll coming? |
| 95952 I'd like you to cast a spellâ€â€when you fight next to me in the arena. |
| 95953 I've got to ask: Why did the Hunters bring you here? |
| 95954 Better safe than sorry. I'll go now. |
| 95955 A piece of broken mirror. Interesting. I expected something more personal, but this should do the trick. |
| 95956 Now for the matter of the payment... |
| 95957 Here are your 4,000 gold pieces. |
| 95958 I don't have enough gold on me. I will be back. |
| 95959 On second thought, I'd rather keep my money than risk it on the skills of someone as erratic as you. |
| 95960 Great. I'll get right on it. I'll let you know when it's ready. |
| 95961 I'll be around. Unless I've been brutally slaughtered in the arena. |
| 95962 I am surprised. You seemed pretty keen, and you did bring me that piece of broken mirror. But as you wish. I'll be here if you change your mind. |
| 95963 I've only just started. Give me time. |
| 95964 It's a complex incantation. It takes time. Don't worry, I'll get it done. |
| 95965 Are you sure about that? |
| 95966 Absolutely. We made a fine team last time. |
| 95967 Of course. |
| 95968 I was. Now I'm not. |
| 95969 I don't feel right asking you for the going rate, given the risks. How does 500 gold pieces sound to you? |
| 95970 Sounds good. Here you go. |
| 95971 It'd sound better if I had that much gold. |
| 95972 Come to think of it, maybe it's not such a great idea. |
| 95973 I'll try not to disappoint you, <CHARNAME>. See you in the arena! |
| 95974 Well... don't worry about it, then. I'll join you for free this time. You're doing me a favor, really. It's nice to feel wanted for something other than crimes against humanity and elves and that one goblin lair. |
| 95975 Terrific. |
| 95976 Actually, I'd rather not. |
| 95977 These ones are doing a reasonable job so far. Farewell. |
| 95978 Hort Il-D'rth |
| 95979 Hort Il-D'rth Hort Il-D'rth, First of the Bone Scars, looks to be a proud, powerful warrior. He'd be a useful ally in the arena... if I could trust him not to cut me down in his bloodlust. |
| 95980 Not all, surely. Where are you from? |
| 95981 How did the scarred warrior of the Bone Scars clan end up in this place? |
| 95982 What do you think of Dennaton's arena? |
| 95983 If you say so. Farewell. |
| 95984 I see. Then how did you end up here? |
| 95985 I do indeed. What do you make of this place? |
| 95986 All too well. Farewell, Hort Il-D'rth. We may speak again. |
| 95987 That may happen yet. What do you make of this place? |
| 95988 I've heard enough for now. Thank you. |
| 95989 That is something I would like to see. What do you make of this place? |
| 95990 Good luck with that. You'll need it. |
| 95991 An interesting perspective. Thank you. |
| 95992 A grotesque practice. Farewell. |
| 95993 I must speak with you, <CHARNAME>. It involves business. |
| 95994 My business. While you were busy I made... contact with my old employer. He has instructed me to await orders. |
| 95995 I am free to do as I please. Eventually, however, I will be approached by an agent of L. They will have work for me. You can decide then if you're interested. |
| 95996 What would please me right now is to get moving. Shall we? |
| 95997 Very well. I shall speak with you tomorrow. |
| 95998 Pits Merchants |
| 95999 What sort of business? |
| 96000 Can it wait, Hexxat? I'm busy at the moment. |
| 96001 So what happens now? |
| 96002 I have met Hue Greenleaf, the armor vendor, in the merchant area. I should see him for any armor or shields. |
| 96003 Very well. |
| 96004 I have met a surly dwarf who refused to give me his name in the merchant area. He is the only one selling weapons. |
| 96005 I have met a frail older man in the merchant area. He was mute, but the scrolls he sold were powerful enough. |
| 96006 There is an illithid in the merchant area that sells all manner of magical trinkets. |
| 96007 Mercy Whitedove |
| 96008 I'm looking. Let me see your selection. |
| 96009 Thanks, but I'm not looking for scrolls right now. |
| 96010 No thanks. I'm not looking for scrolls at the moment. |
| 96011 Sounds good. Let me see what you've got. |
| 96012 Perhaps I will, another time. |
| 96013 I'm not sure. Let me look at your selection. |
| 96014 Maybe. Let me see your selection. |
| 96015 Not right now. Another time, perhaps. |
| 96016 I've no time for this. |
| 96017 Stay out of my mind, illithid. |
| 96018 Good. I'll be leaving, now. |
| 96019 Then let me see something that does have value to me. Show me your wares. |
| 96020 Having something you want is reward enough for me. |
| 96021 Here. Now hand over the rune. |
| 96022 We willâ€â€when I choose to make it. |
| 96023 We're done. Thank you. |
| 96024 Sounds good to me. Let's see what you've got. |
| 96025 Maybe later. I need to go now. |
| 96026 The Hunters' Lounge Key |
| 96027 The illithid merchant has agreed to give me his runestone in exchange for Stannel Eibor's ring. Now to find a way to get the ring off the imperious scribe... |
| 96028 I have exchanged Stannel Eibor's ring for the illithid's runestone. Now I need to exchange the stone with Brother Ellraish for the key to the Hunters' Lounge. |
| 96029 Come on, I'm bored. I bet you've seen all sorts of interesting things 'round here. Tell me some of them, please. |
| 96030 As you wish. |
| 96031 But you're so much more pleasant than him! But I'll go if that's what you want. |
| 96032 Very well. |
| 96033 Arzol and Beryl |
| 96034 I have met Arzol and Beryl, Tartle's two bodyguards. They have made it very clear they do not wish to interact with me. |
| 96035 I'm always ready to fight. |
| 96036 If I must, but I'd rather talk awhile, if that's all right with you. |
| 96037 Almost, but not quite. |
| 96038 Always. |
| 96039 Soon. I need more time to prepare. |
| 96040 No, of course not. Excuse me. |
| 96041 Well, I wouldn't want to do that. Excuse me. |
| 96042 No, then I'll think you're irritating and irrelevant. Excuse me. |
| 96043 I'm not sure how far one can go in this place. The walls are pretty solid. Excuse me. |
| 96044 Less beside than behind, I suspect. Excuse me. |
| 96045 I shan't. Please excuse me. |
| 96046 My performers are victorious! |
| 96047 The champions of Baeloth's Pits have won! |
| 96048 A victory worthy of the epics! |
| 96049 Feather from a Planetar's Wing |
| 96050 Found in the quarters of the Winged, this appears to be a normal feather until one looks closely at it. Only then does the shimmering, unearthly light within it become apparent. Those who deal in unusual artifacts would surely pay a substantial sum to possess such an item. Alternatively, a skilled magician might be able to use the feather as a spell component. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 96051 Disintegrated Item |
| 96052 This is a pile of dust, most likely the end result of an item being destroyed. STATISTICS: Weight: 3 |

| 96057 Written in the surprisingly sloppy hand of the ex-autharch Vicross, leader of the defunct Order of Eight Staves, this diary contains a wealth of information to peruse at a later date. A passage related to Neera stands out: "Gross day. Wind and dust storms. Izer, the messenger, brought bad news: Ekandor's quarry, the half-elf Neera, eludes him still. The way the letter describes her terrifies me. It's not that she's particularly dangerous. There are more powerful wild mages, and while she has taken up with what Ekandor describes as an 'impressive' band of adventurers, I'm confident the Order will bring her to heel. No, dear diary, that's not what scares me about Neera. It's that I hear what Ekandor tells me, read the transcriptions of what Neera says, and know a terrifying truth with absolute, dreadful certainty. If I'd been born in the High Forest and not Thayâ€â€if I'd been banished and forced to scrape byâ€â€if I'd sought to live with my wild magic instead of learning to control it, as I've almost, almost, ALMOST done, wellâ€â€I could have been her. P.S. I need to hire a new messenger. One of my surges got Izer." |

| 96059 Wand of Whips |
| 96060 A wand of whips is usable only by wizards. When activated, it sends forth a whip-shaped field of white, shimmering, magical force to a maximum range of 25 feet. The wielder names, looks at, or concentrates upon a single target creature. The force-whip then attacks this creature, striking once per round, inflicting 1d6+1 points of slashing damage per strike and binding its opponent fast if a successful Save vs. Spell at -2 is not made after each hit. A bound opponent suffers no further damage, but may not move or perform any other action. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Force whip strikes the target for 1d6+1 magical damage each round until the victim fails a Save vs. Spell at -4 and becomes held for the remaining duration. Each charge lasts 4 rounds, after which the whip dissipates. Range: 25 ft. Duration: 4 rounds Area of Effect: 1 creature Weight: 1 |
| 96061 Robe of Invocation |
| 96062 Wizards specializing in the school of invocation know how dangerous their magic can beâ€â€even to the casters themselves. Some go to great lengths to ensure their own safety, wearing protective equipment to minimize damage from their own fireballs. This robe is such an item, providing its wearer with increased resistance to elemental energies. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Fire Resistance: +20% – Cold Resistance: +20% – Acid Resistance: +20% – Electrical Resistance: +20% Weight: 6 |
| 96063 Tunic of Blindeye |
| 96064 Wild mage Nareth Blindeye was a wealthy scholar in the city of Baldur's Gate. Hearing rumors from across the country of Thayan Red Wizards abducting wild mages, Nareth concluded it would be best to face his enemies on his own terms. Before fleeing the city, he infused his travel clothes with strong wild magic. Though it would affect everyone in a given combat, he was more experienced controlling wild surges than his enemies. While effective, the tunic did not save Nareth from capture by the Order of Eight Staves. His current whereabouts are unknown. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Wildzone once per day All spells cast within a 30-ft. radius are treated as wild surges for 1 turn (Save vs. Spell negates) Equipped abilities: – Movement rate increased by 2 (base is 10) – Magic Damage Resistance: +25% Weight: 3 |
| 96065 Collar Bell |
| 96066 The wild mage Barad Ding was fond of cats, surrounding himself with the yowling beasts. Feral and undomesticated, his pets would often wander off, disappearing for days and filling Barad with concern. After weeks of worry, he decided to affix leather collars with tiny, magical bells on his companions. Whenever Barad would utter the command word, all bells in a certain radius ring melodically, revealing their locations. While enchanting the bells, Barad's magic was sometimes warped by wild surges, some harmless, some less so. The surge that erupted when he crafted this particular bell amplified Barad's magic to the extremeâ€â€instead of a soft tinkling, it emits a deafening burst of sound, capable of instantly waking anyone even from their deepest slumber. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Three times a day, the bell can wake everyone from sleep in 30-ft. radius. Anyone who fails a Saving Throw vs. Spell becomes deaf for 1 turn. Weight: 1 |
| 96067 As long as the iron rod remains in place, powerful magic prevents you from leaving the tomb. |
| 96068 Destroying the Order of Eight Staves Neera's heard from Telana that the Order of Eight Staves's leader, Vicross, is in Tethyr, very close to us. Neera suggests we set up a trap for her in a nearby clearing, attracting her attention using wild magic. |
| 96069 Destroying the Order of Eight Staves We're in the clearing. Neera will cast Nahal's Reckless Dweomer. After that, we'll set up camp and await Vicross and the other Red Wizards' arrival. |
| 96070 Destroying the Order of Eight Staves Vicross, leader of the Order of Eight Staves, is a wild mage! She teleported back to Thay, but a wild surge brought us with her. We've found ourselves in the middle of a gladiatorial battle. |
| 96071 Destroying the Order of Eight Staves We defeated our opponents in the gladiatorial fray. The announcer, Dennaton, has summoned us to the staging areaâ€â€likely wanting to find out what the hell we're doing here. |
| 96072 Destroying the Order of Eight Staves Szass Tam, the legendary zulkir of necromancy in Thay, wants our help killing Vicross. We are to prepare ourselves and rest, and then he will teleport us into her estate. |
| 96073 Destroying the Order of Eight Staves We are inside Vicross's estate. Once we've killed her, we'll ring the Bell of Summoning to inform Szass Tam of our success. After that, he will teleport us back to Tethyr. |
| 96074 Destroying the Order of Eight Staves We have defeated Vicross. After we've thoroughly searched her quarters, we'll ring the Bell of Summoning to inform Szass Tam. |
| 96075 Destroying the Order of Eight Staves Szass Tam betrayed us! We were stronger adversaries than he guessed, though, and ultimately, he did teleport us back to Tethyr. It would have been nice to destroy Tam, but with Vicross dead, we can at least be satisfied the Order of Eight Staves is no more. |
| 96076 Destroying the Order of Eight Staves |
| 96077 I don't even know if you're joking. |
| 96078 So we agree. Great. That's great. Glad we got that cleared up. |
| 96079 IF it happened, I guess I wouldn't want solitude so much. Who knows what the Neera of tomorrow will think. |
| 96080 Not ringing any bells, I'm afraid. What else did it involve? |
| 96081 Ha ha. I'm trying to be serious here. |
| 96082 I can be serious, if I must. What did it mean to you? |
| 96083 All right then, seriously: I had a great time. |
| 96084 I can't believe it. All this time I've walked with someone who might become a god. It's |
| 96085 Weird. Just weird. I can't tell if it's good weird or bad weird. That kind of depends on what happens next. |
| 96086 Just know that I'll always think of you as <CHARNAME>, the person I've been proud to call a friend. |
| 96087 Just so we're clearâ€â€I don't care what you did in there. |
| 96088 But I didn't do |
| 96089 You don't? Why not? |
| 96090 Good, because I |
| 96091 Don't care! Don't want to hear another word about it. |
| 96092 If I thought you were falling madly in love with the drow woman, it might be different. But until weâ€â€decide something else, we're free. Kind of free. |
| 96093 I understand, but I didn't |
| 96094 Kind of free? Can you clarify? |
| 96095 Nope. Let's get moving. |
| 96096 LIKE I SAID, I don't want to know. Let's get moving. |
| 96097 Psst! <CHARNAME>! This is way, way too similar to what the Red Wizards want to do with us wild mages. We need to do something. |
| 96098 Take the half-elven wild mage there. I understand you've developed a relationship of sorts. It's so hard when something terrible befalls one's beloved, don't you agree? |
| 96099 We're NOT a "couple." It's complicated. |
| 96100 Regardless, half-elf, you're coming with me. |
| 96101 What? No way! You won't |
| 96102 What? |
| 96103 Cursed wild mages... Kill them! |
| 96104 And now I'll send you to them, fool! |
| 96105 Pray we don't meet again. You'll not like what happens if we do. |
| 96106 Peace, Viconia. We're all friends here. |
| 96107 Dorn's bloody path |
| 96108 Then you are fortunateâ€â€and wiseâ€â€to stand at my side. But let's put philosophy aside. We've business to attend to. |
| 96109 Hah! We'll see, <CHARNAME>, we'll see. But enough philosophy. We've business to attend to. |
| 96110 You'll not be friends long if you present them with that shabby cloth. |
| 96111 There's really no talking to the guy. |
| 96112 If I'd just given Fil the crystals he desired, he might yet live. So no regrets on my part. |
| 96113 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Fortunately, we have the skills necessary to raise an expendable sapient beingâ€â€Vernus the druid. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96114 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I chose Anomen Delryn. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96115 Hexxat's request |
| 96116 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Edwin Odesseiron was the obvious candidate. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |

| 96118 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I shall miss my little childhood friend. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96119 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Jaheira should get the job done. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96120 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Physical stature not being a consideration, Jan Jansen should serve admirably. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96121 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Korgan qualifies as such, if only barely. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96122 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Mazzy Fentan will be missed. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96123 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I considered Boo for a moment, but I knew Minsc would sooner die than see the hamster slain. And so it came to pass. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96124 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Nalia de'Arnise died as she lived, helping others achieve their dreams. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |

| 96127 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I take some comfort in knowing that Neera need struggle no more. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96128 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. Rasaad has finally made himself useful. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96129 Dorn's summoning ritual requires the sacrifice of a sapient being. I chose Hexxat, who should be used to dying unexpectedly by this point. And Azothet, who sent Dorn to bind Ur-Gothoz, is about to receive an unpleasant shock... |
| 96130 The master has become the servant, and the servant serves no longer. Ur-Gothoz is bound to Dorn's abyssal blade. |
| 96131 Dorn succeeded in binding his patron Ur-Gothoz to his abyssal bladeâ€â€only to find himself bound into the service of Azothet. The marilith manipulated Dorn into eliminating her enemy Ur-Gothoz and tried to take the glabrezu's servant as her own. With Ur-Gothoz's power his to command, the half-orc refused to kneel before her. |
| 96132 Ur-Gothoz is bound to Dorn's abyssal bladeâ€â€but Dorn himself is now bound to Azothet. The marilith manipulated Dorn into eliminating her enemy Ur-Gothoz and has taken the glabrezu's servant as her own. She promises to be a more considerate patron than Ur-Gothoz... I have my doubts. |
| 96133 Flush with the power of his former master, Dorn demanded a sacrifice I was unwilling to make. He was... displeased with my decision. At that point, it was clear that one of us would not leave Resurrection Gorge alive. |
| 96134 A word in private, <CHARNAME>? |
| 96135 Of course, Viconia. |
| 96136 Is this really the time? |
| 96137 Not now. |
| 96138 We can talk now, or never again. |
| 96139 I guess we'll talk now, then. |
| 96140 Very well. What do you want? |
| 96141 I might live without your nagging? A tempting prospect... |
| 96142 This is no laughing matter! |
| 96143 You must realize this Twofold Heresy is nonsense. You do realize that, don't you? |
| 96144 Of course it's nonsense. All religion is. |
| 96145 You're too quick to discount alternative points of view. |
| 96146 Of course. |
| 96147 And you're too quick to consider them. Any fool can claim to speak for the gods. |
| 96148 If they don't actually speak for the gods, I trust the gods would deal with them in short order. |
| 96149 Too true. What makes you think Alorgoth speaks the truth while Collus Darathon does not? Is there any difference between them, really? |
| 96150 And some of them actually do so. |
| 96151 Perhaps, if and when they notice. And when they do, they might treat the servants as they do the master. |
| 96152 You are right. I don't want to attract the ire of the gods. I'll send Rasaad on his way immediately. |
| 96153 Bring them on. I have no fear of the gods. |
| 96154 Alorgoth is the Doom Bringerâ€â€a champion of Shar. By promoting his heresy, Collus Darathon also brings doom, though he may not realize it. |
| 96155 Rasaad is a broken manâ€â€you must see that. And you must abandon his idiot quest before it's too late. |
| 96156 Rasaad is a friend. I'll not abandon him. |
| 96157 I'm not ON his idiot quest. |
| 96158 Oh, Viconia. You think you're so very clever, and yet you're so, so blind. |
| 96159 I'm not the one walking toward destruction with their arms open to embrace it. |
| 96160 I seek only enlightenment. |
| 96161 I embrace the power this cult has to offer. Not its lunatic teachings. |
| 96162 Are you so naive? Do you truly think me so foolish? |
| 96163 What? |
| 96164 I'm playing a game, Viconia. I want to see how far Rasaad will go in his quest for vengeance. |
| 96165 I don't believe the heresy. That doesn't mean I can't exploit it. |
| 96166 You seek to manipulate the cult... |
| 96167 Now you're getting it. |
| 96168 By the time this is over, they'll fetch my slippers. |
| 96169 Of course. What else could I be doing? |
| 96170 Oh... This I like. |
| 96171 I thought you might. |
| 96172 So you'll do this thing with me? |
| 96173 Good. I trust we'll not have to speak of this again? |
| 96174 If what you say is true, I am with you. |
| 96175 All right, <CHARNAME>. I am with you, for now. |
| 96176 Me or the monk, <CHARNAME>. Make your choice. |
| 96177 If I must choose, I choose you, of course. |
| 96178 Farewell, Viconia. |
| 96179 Then you would abandon me. |
| 96180 Not willingly. |
| 96181 Madnessâ€â€! When you come to your sensesâ€â€if you survive long enough to come to your sensesâ€â€you know where to find me. |
| 96182 You've made the right move. |
| 96183 Then why do you invite our destruction by humoring the monk's foolishness? |
| 96184 Is that what you think I'm doing? |
| 96185 Every <PRO_GIRLBOY> needs a hobby. |
| 96186 Are you so naive? Do you truly think me so foolish? |
| 96187 It certainly appears that way. |
| 96188 I'm playing a game, Viconia. I want to see how far Rasaad will go in his quest for vengeance. |
| 96189 I don't believe the heresy. That doesn't mean I can't exploit it. |
| 96190 Appearances can be deceiving. It's my favorite thing about them. |
| 96191 But why would you Oh. I think I understand. |
| 96192 Watch yourself, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96193 Forgive me, Viconia. I forgot who I was talking to. |
| 96194 Oh, loosen up. I was just trying to point out that I don't believe the heresy. |
| 96195 Don't take that tone with me, drow. |
| 96196 So you believe the heresy is foolishness. |
| 96197 Some. But not this Darathon. |
| 96198 Shar's teeth! You're as mad as the monk! |
| 96199 And you think you'll find it in this heresy? You're as mad as Rasaad! |
| 96200 You and Rasaad deserve each other, <CHARNAME>. You're both utterly mad. |
| 96201 Who are you, drow? Why are you here? I'd think you a spy, but no spy would call such attention to herself. |
| 96202 The only joke here is |
| 96203 Forgive her, please. She has yet to learn the value of silence. Now, let us talk more of these trials. I promise you I will endure anything if it brings me to Collus Darathon. |
| 96204 I'll silence you |
| 96205 Let it go, Viconia. |
| 96206 But |
| 96207 *whispered* We'll discuss it later. |
| 96208 *whispered* Not in front of the monks. PLEASE. |
| 96209 I said let it go. |
| 96210 This isn't over. |
| 96211 And if he has? He was the greatest among youâ€â€do you think he'd turn without good reason? You should consider the Twofold Truth, not condemn it. |
| 96212 Rasaad has committed no crime against you, Sixscar. Leave now and I'll do you the same courtesy. |
| 96213 Enough! I'll hear no more of this heresy! |
| 96214 I fear you'll hear much more if you're to continue forward with me. |
| 96215 One <PRO_MANWOMAN>'s heresy is another's truth, Viconia. |
| 96216 You cannot close yourself off from the world, much as you might wish to. |
| 96217 There is no truth in the Twofold. Renounce it now or you renounce me. |
| 96218 Very well. I renounce the Twofold. Are you satisfied? |
| 96219 You would make me choose? |
| 96220 I do not respond well to ultimatums, Viconia. |
| 96221 I am not satisfied. You said the Twofold might offer a way back into Selûne's grace. |
| 96222 I merely sought to open your eyes to possibilities you may not have considered. |
| 96223 And so it might. |
| 96224 I do not know that ISN'T true. |
| 96225 But you do not believe it to be true. |
| 96226 I don't know enough of it to know what I believe yet. |
| 96227 I do not. It's a nice idea, but I've seen little evidence to support it yet. Still, I advise keeping an open mind, in this and all things. |
| 96228 What I believe is of little consequence to the gods. |
| 96229 I know what I believe. |
| 96230 The Selûnite can keep an open mind. Let it be filled with foolish ideas and lies. I'll not be turned from my goddess. |
| 96231 Nor I from mine. |
| 96232 I do. |
| 96233 To lies that should never be considered. |
| 96234 There is no choice to make. |
| 96235 If there were, I would choose you, of course. I renounce the Twofold Trust and all its lies. Are you satisfied now? |
| 96236 Your presence in the group is causing more tension than it's worth. I'm afraid this is where we part ways, Viconia. |
| 96237 You are right. I am sorry, Rasaad, but if you intend to pursue the Twofold pathâ€â€for vengeance or any other reasonâ€â€then you will do so alone. |
| 96238 I understand. And I hope you will understand that I cannot turn back now. |
| 96239 Farewell, <CHARNAME>. I hope we will meet again, but if we do not, may Selûne's light shine always upon you. |
| 96240 You would dismiss me for calling lies what they are? |
| 96241 I dismiss you because I would see Rasaad's journey through to a safe end. Your presence makes that difficult, if not impossible. |
| 96242 The world is not so black and white as you would have it, Viconia. If you cannot see things in their full complexity, you have no place with me. |
| 96243 You should not have forced my hand, drow. Now you suffer the consequences of that decision. |
| 96244 Fine! Take Selûne's handmaiden and be off with you. I've better things to do than waste my time with fools and heretics. |
| 96245 I do not seek to close myself off to the worldâ€â€just these damnable Twofold lies. |
| 96246 How can you be sure they are lies? |
| 96247 Fair enough. But you can't expect others to ignore them on your account. |
| 96248 Begone, then. I've no use for one who will not even consider new viewpoints. |
| 96249 <CHARNAME> is right, Viconia. It's important to keep an open mind. |
| 96250 Oh, please shut up. |
| 96251 I know the truth of Shar. I've felt it in my life and my works. And I tell you this: There is no truth in this heresy! |
| 96252 Not for you, perhaps. |
| 96253 Things aren't as black and white as you want them to be, Viconia. |
| 96254 One who doesn't seek the truth will never find it. |
| 96255 Not for anyone. Even the Moonmaiden's boy here must see the lies for what they are. |
| 96256 Though it is not something I admit happily, the drow is right. |
| 96257 A coward's words, spoken by one unwilling or afraid to accept reality. |
| 96258 If you want someone to pity, pity yourself! |
| 96259 There! That's <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 96260 Excuse me, my friend. I must prepare myself for the tests. |
| 96261 I must prepare for the tests. Excuse me. |
| 96262 Have patience, Viconia. All is not as it seems. |
| 96263 It is a charade, but it's not so absurd. |
| 96264 Don't be silly, Viconia. Do you not see what I'm doing here? |
| 96265 You ask me to have patience? |
| 96266 You're embracing heresy on your pet monk's behalfâ€â€and you're calling me silly, which is possibly an even greater mistake. |
| 96267 You're right. Let's get out of here. |
| 96268 Fools have their uses. |
| 96269 Their fate remains to be seen. |
| 96270 What are you Ah. |
| 96271 You clearly see something I don'tâ€â€or perhaps you simply see what you want to. |
| 96272 These people have made a terrible mistake. But they are not beyond redemption. |
| 96273 Your devotion to the Dark Goddess blinds you to the potential this Twofold Order holds. These monks' faith is weak. They are willing to follow a strong leader. That leader doesn't have to be Darathon. |
| 96274 I see an opportunity for power. I'd think you'd be able to appreciate that. |
| 96275 I'm beginning to see now. You will use the Selûnite to gain a foothold in the Twofold Order... |
| 96276 And together, Rasaad and I will redeem the heretics. |
| 96277 All the better to destroy it. |
| 96278 And once I've got it, I will take it over. |
| 96279 A new order, serving the will of the Bhaalspawn... |
| 96280 Why didn't you tell me this from the beginning? |
| 96281 I don't owe you an explanation for my actions. |
| 96282 You understand the value of secrets. |
| 96283 I'd expect a fool like Rasaad not to understand what I was doing, but I thought it'd be obvious to you. |
| 96284 I do at that. Very well. I'll continue with youâ€â€for now. |
| 96285 You're too clever by half, <CHARNAME>. I halfway think you just made a justification for this nonsense up on the spot, just to satisfy me. |
| 96286 And are you satisfied? |
| 96287 For now. |
| 96288 Redemption. They are heretics to Shar and Selûne alike. They will pay for their sinsâ€â€but I most certainly will not. I will leave this place now. Come with me now, before it's too late. |
| 96289 I cannot. |
| 96290 You are as wise as you are beautiful. Let's get the hell out of here. |
| 96291 I will see this through to the end. I owe Rasaad that much. |
| 96292 Then you are a fool. I'll not share your fate. Farewell. |
| 96293 Perhaps not. But not explaining your actions very nearly cost you a valuable ally. |
| 96294 <CHARNAME>? Where are you going? |
| 96295 Out of this place. Come with me. |
| 96296 Viconia's convinced me this is a fool's errand, Rasaad. We're leaving. Come with us, please. |
| 96297 I've indulged this silliness long enough. We will leave this place now. |
| 96298 You know I cannot do that. |
| 96299 I know, but I had to try. I'm afraid this is where we part ways. |
| 96300 Then you should know I cannot stay. |
| 96301 You are a fool. For your sake, I hope you are a lucky fool. Farewell. |
| 96302 I understand. Go now, while you are still able. If I survive the tests, perhaps we shall meet again. |
| 96303 You intrigue me, <CHARNAME>. I've waited a long time to find one such as you. |
| 96304 Patience is rewarded. |
| 96305 I don't remind you of your mother? |
| 96306 Wait longer, half-orc. |
| 96307 I trust my intentions here are clear. |
| 96308 My mother? She was a formidable woman. |
| 96309 You want to talk to me about your mother? |
| 96310 You compare me to your mother. That is... a little creepy. |
| 96311 She'd have had to be, I think. |
| 96312 You reject me? |
| 96313 I can't give you what you want, Dorn. I'm sorry. |
| 96314 We've more important things to attend to. What you suggest would do nothing but distract us from our goals. |
| 96315 Yes. Best you know where you stand now than make a fool of yourself later. |
| 96316 I'd not be a fool for you, or anyone. |
| 96317 Not now, at any rate. |
| 96318 I don't want to discuss my mother! |
| 96319 Then what would you discuss? |
| 96320 Hey, you're the one who compared me to her. |
| 96321 You think I do? |
| 96322 'Twas intended as a compliment. |
| 96323 I was joking, Dorn. If we're going to do this, you'll need to work on your sense of humor. |
| 96324 Your flattery skills will need some work if we're to proceed down this path. |
| 96325 Intentions are irrelevant. It's actions that count. |
| 96326 So you would proceed down this path? |
| 96327 For a time, at least. |
| 96328 You're a bloodthirsty half-orc whose heart and soul are shrouded in darkness. We're perfect for each other. |
| 96329 I would, but not with you. |
| 96330 This is no laughing matter, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96331 Can you never see the lighter side of things? |
| 96332 And that's why we can never be more than professional colleagues. |
| 96333 Me and you, romantically involved? You're wrong, Dornâ€â€that is hilarious. |
| 96334 What the future holdsâ€â€for us. |
| 96335 Much the same as the past, I suspect. You would have more? |
| 96336 Let's live in the present and see where that takes us, all right? |
| 96337 We have no future, Dorn. Our fates seem to be entwinedâ€â€but that is all that will be entwined. |
| 96338 Not of this. |
| 96339 A pity. If you were willing to bend just a little, we might have had something great. |
| 96340 We are very different people, Dorn. |
| 96341 Then we've nothing more to discuss. |
| 96342 I don't bend, for you or anyone. |
| 96343 Those who don't bend will break. |
| 96344 I would have bent for you. |
| 96345 And that is why this can never happen. |
| 96346 The weak break. The strong stand triumphant over all that would see them brokenâ€â€or bent. |
| 96347 Perhaps you will yet. |
| 96348 Perhaps. |
| 96349 Oh, I'm certain I willâ€â€just not for you. |
| 96350 You'll never know. |
| 96351 But a pleasurable distraction it would be. |
| 96352 It would be that. I'll consider the matter. |
| 96353 We're too different, Dorn. And I doubt either of us is prepared to compromise much. |
| 96354 Aye, it wouldâ€â€but you'll never know. |
| 96355 I don't bend, for you or anyone. |
| 96356 Then we've nothing to discuss, do we? |
| 96357 We shall see, <CHARNAME>. I enjoy a challenge. |
| 96358 We'll see how much you enjoy it in the end. |
| 96359 I'll enjoy watching you take this one. |
| 96360 A challenge implies the possibility of success. You have no chance, Dorn. Whatever delusion has taken hold of your deranged mind, give it up now. |
| 96361 You will look back on this and regret your words, <CHARNAME>. You can be sure of it. |
| 96362 Don't apologize, <CHARNAME>. It is a hallmark of the weak. You have made your feelings clear. I respect that. |
| 96363 I could not agree more. |
| 96364 I look forward to seeing what you do next. |
| 96365 So what will you do now? |
| 96366 Then let us speak no more about this. |
| 96367 You'll like it, I assure you. |
| 96368 I hope you're right, Dornâ€â€for your sake. |
| 96369 I'm sure I will. |
| 96370 We'll see. I am not easily impressed. |
| 96371 I've not decided yet. |
| 96372 Good. I enjoy a challenge. |
| 96373 I would. |
| 96374 Show me. Actions speak louder than words. |
| 96375 Then get ready for disappointment. |
| 96376 I wish you luck. You'll need it. |
| 96377 Too different? |
| 96378 Unless we're both willing to compromise a bit, I fear so. |
| 96379 Variety is the spice of life. And you are among the spiciest men I've ever met. |
| 96380 For what we're discussing? Yes. |
| 96381 I'm just getting started. |
| 96382 See that you do. |
| 96383 I have woken up in a strange mage's dungeon, and Imoen has released me from my cell. We must find a way to escape this place, although I suspect the exits might be barred by magic. We might be able to find a way to leave if we explore the area, although we'll need to be careful; who knows what traps this mage has laid or what guards he employs? I should keep an eye out for weapons and armor to equip myself with, too; likely some of my items are hidden somewhere in this complex if he hasn't destroyed or sold them already. |
| 96384 We escaped Irenicus's lair, but no sooner had we done so than Imoen and Irenicus were taken captive by an organization called the Cowled Wizards. I must find a way to discover where they wentâ€â€if not in this area, then somewhere else in Athkatla. |
| 96385 To find Irenicus and Imoen, I must enlist the help of Gaelan Bayle's allies, but first I must raise the ridiculous sum of 20,000 gp. I don't know who these allies are or how they might help, but it seems I have no other choice. Gaelan suggested visiting the Copper Coronet and seeing if anyone needs the help of an adventurer. When I have the money, I am to return to Gaelan's house in the slums. |
| 96386 Someone named Valen has approached me with a counteroffer. If interested, I'm to meet her mistress in the Graveyard District. This might also be a good time to talk to Gaelan Bayle again at his house in the slums and see if he might be willing to sweeten the deal in light of this new information. |
| 96387 I have paid Bodhi's fee and been granted access to her lair beneath the Graveyard District. My first assignment is to intercept a shipment of goods in the Docks District. I will likely have to dispatch whoever has been sent to receive it, but that is nothing new to me. |
| 96388 I have retrieved the shipment and killed more than a few Shadow Thieves, and now I must return to Bodhi's lair to tell her what happened. |
| 96389 I must murder the merchant Senior Armagaran Vulova and leave items on the scene that link the murder to the Shadow Thieves. A satisfyingly clever plan, although I fail to see how it will help me find Imoen and Irenicus. I will find his house in the Government District. When he is dead, I am to place the cloak and dagger in the fountain in his house and return to the Graveyard District to report to Bodhi. |
| 96390 I have completed my task and must return to Bodhi to inform her of what happened. |
| 96391 The Shadow Thieves are holding a man, Palern Flynn, captive for interrogation. I must attempt to rescue him from their hideout in the Docks District, or at least see that he is not made to leak information to the Shadow Thieves about Bodhi's operation. |
| 96392 I have failed my task, but I still must report to Bodhi. She will likely not be pleased. |
| 96393 My final task is to kill the Shadowmaster of the Shadow Thieves, Aran Linvail. I will need a key to enter the inner sanctum; Bodhi suggested I pay Gaelan Bayle a visit and "convince" him to relinquish his key. She also suggested looking for Tizzak, another employee of hers, who may be able to offer more information about how to get inside Aran Linvail's private rooms. |
| 96394 It is good to be traveling with you once more, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96395 We are a formidable pair, you and I. |
| 96396 We are indeed. |
| 96397 Part of an excellent team. |
| 96398 Let me make this clear: We are not a pair. |
| 96399 I see you still have other... companions. |
| 96400 One can never have too many friends. |
| 96401 For the time being, yes. |
| 96402 You have a problem with that? |
| 96403 Yes... |
| 96404 We battle together, we eat together, we defend one another. Like it or not, we ARE a pair. |
| 96405 You must know they will aid you only while it is convenient. You can trust no one but yourself. |
| 96406 My enemies are too numerous and too powerful to face alone. |
| 96407 You misunderstand. They are here only while it is convenient for ME. The moment their usefulness ends, so will they. |
| 96408 Yourself included? |
| 96409 Your enemies may walk beside you without you knowing. |
| 96410 What happened to you was regrettable, but it will not happen to me. |
| 96411 I'm well aware of that. You're one of the ones who walk beside me, after all. |
| 96412 Enemies or not, I have need of their skills. |
| 96413 Fine: Trust them and bear the consequences. They will cut your legs from under you, and I will laugh as they do so. |
| 96414 They will not betray me, Dorn. |
| 96415 And I will laugh as they prove you wrong time and time again. |
| 96416 We will see who laughs last, Dorn. |
| 96417 We will indeed. |
| 96418 Trust is for children and old women. Those with power have no need of it. |
| 96419 Need it? No. But I choose to have it, all the same. |
| 96420 You didn't have many friends as a child, did you? |
| 96421 Keep talking and you'll see my power firsthand, half-orc. |
| 96422 Aran Linvail is dead, and perhaps now Bodhi will make good on her promise to help me find Imoen and Irenicus. I must return to her lair in the Graveyard District at once. |
| 96423 A tempting offer. Or did you mean it as a threat? |
| 96424 You can't tell...? Your loss, half-orc. |
| 96425 Whenâ€â€IF I make you an offer, you'll know it. |
| 96426 It was definitely a threat. |
| 96427 So it was a threat. |
| 96428 Enjoy your childhood while it lasts. |
| 96429 No. |
| 96430 I am glad to hear it. But watch them carefully. If you see so much as a hint of weakness or insubordination, destroy them before they destroy you. |
| 96431 Hah! No, you may trust me. Our goals align, and our relationship is one of mutual benefit. I will not betray you so long as you do not betray me. |
| 96432 Peace, <CHARNAME>. I was simply making conversation. I'd not see you die this <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 96433 Nor I you. |
| 96434 My death isn't the one you should be worried about. |
| 96435 Enough words. When you are ready to do more than talk, you know where to find me. |
| 96436 You have grown claws since we parted. Mind that those claws stay sheathed lest I am forced to remove them. |
| 96437 I have paid Gaelan's fee and learned that his allies are none other than the Shadow Thieves. I am to meet the Shadowmaster, Aran Linvail, in their headquarters, a large orange brick building in the Docks District. What will happen after that, only Tymora knows. Or Beshaba. But things are starting to look up, if only slightly. |
| 96438 When I joined you, I believed our goals were more closely aligned. I see now I was wrong. Your knees are so weak it's a wonder you don't lie face-down in the dirt. |
| 96439 Choosing a path other than violence is no weakness, Dorn. |
| 96440 Shall I show you just how "weak" I am, half-orc? Has the time come? |
| 96441 Explain yourself, Dorn. For your sake, I hope the explanation is a good one. |
| 96442 Your lack of ambition disgusts me. I should kill you where you stand and feed your soul to Ur-Gothoz. |
| 96443 Don't threaten me, half-orc. You won't like where that leads. |
| 96444 You don't like the way I handle things, Dorn? What would you have me do differently? |
| 96445 You should try. No, seriously. Try to kill me where I stand. See where it leads. |
| 96446 I tell you this, <CHARNAME>. My blade thirsts for blood, and soon. You had best act quickly to ensure it doesn't drink yours. |
| 96447 I will rip you limb from limb! |
| 96448 It is good to be traveling with one who knows <PRO_HISHER> bloody path, <CHARNAME>. My patron is pleased. |
| 96449 Likewise. Ours will be a fruitful alliance, I suspect. |
| 96450 I'm glad to hear it. Your patron's desires are my paramount concern. |
| 96451 So he should be. You have proved your value many times over, to him and me alike. |
| 96452 I am glad to hear it. |
| 96453 Yes, I believe it will. |
| 96454 Would that these others you surround yourself with could say the same. I am concerned with these others, however. Are you sure you can trust them? |
| 96455 With my life. |
| 96456 Who are you to question those I trust? |
| 96457 Trust them? No. But I need them, for now. |
| 96458 Then you are a fool. |
| 96459 Someone who's known betrayal. |
| 96460 Watch them carefully, <CHARNAME>. And when they are no longer of use, send them on their way, or better still, destroy them. |
| 96461 Is that how you'd have me treat you? |
| 96462 Do me a favor, Dorn. When I'm no longer of use to you, just cast me aside. I'd rather not fight you over it. |
| 96463 And if I said you were no longer of use? |
| 96464 Of course! But then, I know my own value. You will always find me of use. |
| 96465 You think highly of yourself, half-orc. Too highly. |
| 96466 I hope you're right, for your sake. |
| 96467 Keep thinking that way, Dorn. It'll make my life much easier. |
| 96468 You are wise, <CHARNAME>. But I'll make you no promises. |
| 96469 I am to meet Mook at the docks to help guard a shipment of goods coming in. What these goods are I don't know, but they seem vital enough that the Shadow Thieves cannot help me without them. When the shipment is secure, I am to return to Aran Linvail to tell him everything I observe. |
| 96470 Then strike me downâ€â€if you can. |
| 96471 But you won't. You won't even try. You would be a fool to cast me aside, and you are no fool. |
| 96472 But if the day comes that you would turn on me... woe be unto you, <CHARNAME>. That day will be your last. |
| 96473 We make a good team, you and I. |
| 96474 A good team of bad, bad people. |
| 96475 The one who does the least work usually thinks so. |
| 96476 Is that wit you're attempting, <CHARNAME>? |
| 96477 Because you shouldn't. |
| 96478 This mage you chase. How did he earn your ire? |
| 96479 He tortured and experimented on Imoen and me. He will pay for our pain a thousand times over with his own. |
| 96480 He did things to me no person should do to another. |
| 96481 I'd rather not speak of it. |
| 96482 How did you allow this to happen? |
| 96483 Some fights cannot be won. |
| 96484 Well, you know my love of cages and chains... |
| 96485 I don't want to talk about it. |
| 96486 No, please. Tell me of this mage who single-handedly overcame, captured, and tortured you. |
| 96487 He didn't do it single-handedly. |
| 96488 What part of "I'd rather not speak of it" do you not understand? |
| 96489 Shut your mouth lest you feel some of what I did firsthand. |
| 96490 So this wizard and his minions overcame you. |
| 96491 They would have done the same to you, believe me. |
| 96492 I don't like your tone, Dorn. |
| 96493 I didn't go down without a fight. |
| 96494 And I've waited a long time for such as you. |
| 96495 I don't remind you of your father? |
| 96496 My father? He was a fearsome warrior. |
| 96497 Your idiocy knows no bounds. |
| 96498 I would be embarrassed too. |
| 96499 I will speak to you as I see fit, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 96500 You want to talk to me about your father? |
| 96501 You compare me to your father. That is... a little creepy. |
| 96502 Then you are free to leave. |
| 96503 He'd have had to be, I think. |
| 96504 I hope you're ready to pay the price for it. |
| 96505 Hey, you're the one who compared me to him. |
| 96506 I would hope not. |
| 96507 I wasn't joking. We are perfect for one another. |
| 96508 I've wanted to ever since I first laid eyes on you. |
| 96509 Whenever you're ready to collect. |
| 96510 I don't want to discuss my father! |
| 96511 Gladly! |
| 96512 I am at that, and am glad to do so. If this is how you deal with harsh words, I'd hate to count on you in actual battle. |
| 96513 I'm sure it comforts you to think so. |
| 96514 Fair enough. I can understand that. |
| 96515 I look forward to where this might lead. |
| 96516 Good. I look forward to where this might lead. |
| 96517 I look forward to seeing what you do next. |
| 96518 So what will you do now? |
| 96519 Then let us speak no more about this. |
| 96520 You think I like it any better? |
| 96521 Mook is dead, and her killer has vanished into the night. I must report the event to Aran Linvail at the Shadow Thieves headquarters in the Docks District. It's too bad, really. Mook seemed like she might have made a good friend. |
| 96522 I must meet a recruiter for the rival thieves' guild at the Five Flagons to learn where their lair is. The Five Flagons is a tavern in the Bridge District; I'm likely to find this recruiter on the second floor in one of the private rooms. |
| 96523 Funny. It usually tires me out. |
| 96524 Your whining won't make it go any faster. |
| 96525 I've an idea. You and I will spar. To the victor, the glory! |
| 96526 Excellent idea! I could use an easy win. |
| 96527 Very well. |
| 96528 I have met and dealt with the recruiter and have found a note with more information about their operation in the graveyard. I must bring this information to Aran Linvail at the Shadow Thieves headquarters in the Docks District. (I should probably stop writing their location so explicitly lest some crafty thief steal my journal in the night…) |
| 96529 Let's finish walking first. |
| 96530 Ah... oh no, my leg really hurts. I'm going to have to pass. |
| 96531 Then you're about to be disappointed. |
| 96532 Irenicus's dungeon has left you weak, is that it? Or do you fear the might of the great Dorn Il-Khan? |
| 96533 I'll not be goaded into a pointless battle. |
| 96534 Whatever will shut you up, that's why I don't want to beat the living hells out of you. Let's keep moving. |
| 96535 I'll show you how much I fear you, half-orc. |
| 96536 No weapons, no armor, no magic. A true match of prowess. |
| 96537 Bah. You're an old <PRO_MANWOMAN>, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96538 Prepare yourself! |
| 96539 Hahah! |
| 96540 Your form is poor, and you hold back when you should strike. You have much to learn, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96541 You'll find me a fast learner. |
| 96542 Good gods. I think I need some healing. |
| 96543 Things will go differently the next time you face me. |
| 96544 After the beating you just took? Yes, I'd imagine so. |
| 96545 I look forward to it. |
| 96546 Hmm. You are more skilled in the art of battle than I'd thought. |
| 96547 Let this be a lesson to you. Never underestimate your opponent. |
| 96548 You're a formidable opponent, Dorn. |
| 96549 No surprise there. Thinking isn't your strong suit. |
| 96550 Yes, I am. And it takes a formidable warrior to match my strength. |
| 96551 You are an attractive <PRO_MANWOMAN>, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96552 Ah. I think you may have the wrong idea, Dorn. I'm not interested in you. |
| 96553 I must admit, you have a rugged... tusked allure yourself. |
| 96554 I must go to the Graveyard District to deal with this rival guild of vampires. A mage has been sent to help me open the door to their lair, but I must navigate the tomb corridors to get there first. |
| 96555 You're very observant. |
| 96556 A pity. You don't know what you're missing. |
| 96557 Next time, perhaps the sparring will be a little more intimate. |
| 96558 I'd like that. |
| 96559 In your dreams, half-orc. It certainly won't happen in this world. |
| 96560 Don't count on it. |
| 96561 A shame. You'd have enjoyed it. |
| 96562 I have dealt with the vampires in the Graveyard District and must return to Aran Linvail to inform him of my victory. Hopefully, now he will be more forthcoming with information and assistance regarding Imoen and Irenicus. |
| 96563 I have arrived in Brynnlaw, and it seems that I am once more on my own. I've been told to meet with someone named Sanik, who might know how to get into the asylum. |
| 96564 You feel it as strongly as I, do you not? |
| 96565 Uh... maybe? What are you talking about? |
| 96566 If you're thinking what I'm thinking, then most definitely. |
| 96567 We don't have time for this, Dorn. |
| 96568 I can see the hunger in your eyes. |
| 96569 I can wait no longer. I would have you as mine, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96570 I'm sorry? |
| 96571 Well, it's about damn time. This will be a night for the ages. |
| 96572 You will wait as long as I desire. |
| 96573 You think I serve your will, <PRO_RACE>? |
| 96574 Such strengthâ€â€such power! You are everything I've ever wanted, <CHARNAME>! |
| 96575 I will give you pleasure as none have before. |
| 96576 My contact, Sanik, is dead; I must go to Lady Galvena's Festhall to speak to his fiancée, Claire, to see if she knows anything about what Sanik was about to tell me. There may be another way into the asylum, but without Sanik's help, I don't know what it might be. |
| 96577 You're going to have to work harder than that. |
| 96578 I'll hold you to that. |
| 96579 You presume too much. |
| 96580 Touch a hair on her head, half-orc, and I will gut you where you stand. The lady is not interested. |
| 96581 Let her speak for herself. What say you, <CHARNAME>? You want this as much as I, admit it. |
| 96582 I do want it. But you'll have to work harder than that. |
| 96583 It's true. Gods help me. |
| 96584 I'm not sure about that. You seem to want it very, very badly. |
| 96585 I admit nothing of the sort. |
| 96586 In order to get into Lady Galvena's Festhall, I need to obtain a medallion from Chremy, one of the crueler masters. I'll find him somewhere around town. I could also just fight my way inside, of course. That might be easier, albeit more dangerous. |
| 96587 You're not <CHARNAME>'s type, half-orc. He prefers a more tender embrace. |
| 96588 Let him speak for himself. What say you, <CHARNAME>? You want this as much as I, admit it. |
| 96589 I do. Gods help me. |
| 96590 I'm not sure about that. You seem to want it very, very badly. |
| 96591 I'll not be coerced into making a decision before I'm ready. |
| 96592 <CHARNAME>... you would spurn me for thisâ€â€this monster? |
| 96593 Tell her you would. I know you want to. |
| 96594 Keep your distance, half-orc. <CHARNAME> is not interested in your disgusting advances. |
| 96595 What is he talking about, <CHARNAME>? Are you and he... Are you...? |
| 96596 I didn't realize your tastes ran in the half-orc's direction, <CHARNAME>. Perhaps I read you wrong. |
| 96597 What is this? You cannot consider this monster worthy of your affection. |
| 96598 You would spurn me for this monstrosity? I cannot believe it. |
| 96599 <CHARNAME>, please, I need you. Do not turn your back on me forâ€â€for THAT. |
| 96600 You are not serious, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96601 You can't go with him, <CHARNAME>. It'sâ€â€it's just wrong. I may not be what you're looking for, but you can do better than him. |
| 96602 There's more going on with you than I realized, <CHARNAME>. It's... intriguing. |
| 96603 You want this as much as I. |
| 96604 I do want it. But you'll have to work harder than that. |
| 96605 I do. Gods help me. |
| 96606 I'm not sure about that. You seem to want it very, very badly. |
| 96607 So you want to believe. |
| 96608 And you do not? |
| 96609 Oh, I do. You have no idea. |
| 96610 I haven't decided yet. |
| 96611 With you? No. No, I don't. |
| 96612 What? You would spurn Dorn Il-Khan? |
| 96613 I'm not spurning anyone yet. I just need more time. |
| 96614 Patience, Dorn. |
| 96615 We do indeed. |
| 96616 Yes. Enthusiastically. |
| 96617 You cannot seriously mean to allow this brute into your bed. |
| 96618 You're in a dangerous territory, <CHARNAME>. I am not some plaything for you to toy with. |
| 96619 You can't go with him. You mustn't. |
| 96620 Anyone who would accept this beast's affections is not worthy of mine. |
| 96621 You're considering going with... him? Iâ€â€I think I'm going to be sick. Well, no, I'm not, because I'm a lady of the world, but you and a half-orc, I'm telling you... that just isn't right. |
| 96622 Seriously? Bad enough you take this brute into your confidence, but into your bed as well? Unbelievable! |
| 96623 I cannot believe my ears. You would choose this over me? I'll enjoy watching as you come to realize the gravity of the error you've made this <DAYNIGHTALL>, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96624 Please don't do this, <CHARNAME>. You're making a terrible mistake. |
| 96625 I'll not stand in your way. Anyone who would accept this beast's affections is not worthy of mine. |
| 96626 And that is an end to that. |
| 96627 Let us not speak of this sorry chapter again. |
| 96628 I'm glad that's over with. |
| 96629 How that creature came to believe you could be attracted to him, I do not know. The half-orc's mind... it is not right, <CHARNAME>. Permitting him to remain among us is a mistake. |
| 96630 What a creep. I've known some creeps in my time, but I think that guy is the creepiest creep who ever crept. You know? |
| 96631 Well. That was an entertaining interlude. |
| 96632 Make up your mind, <CHARNAME>. I'll not be a slave to your whims. |
| 96633 You've made a grave error, <CHARNAME>. And by the time you realize that, it will be too late. |
| 96634 Yes... it will. |
| 96635 This will be a night to remember... I assure you. |
| 96636 I have made it inside Lady Galvena's Festhall; now I just need to find Claire and discover what she knows. |
| 96637 I managed to sneak inside Lady Galvena's Festhall; if I talk to the cook, she can prepare a sleeping potion that will knock out the guards. I can also fight my way through, but either way I need to find Claire and discover what she knows. |
| 96638 You go too far, <CHARNAME>. I refuse to be party to this any longer. You will not see me again. |
| 96639 Ula t'yin, wael. You disgust me. |
| 96640 <CHARNAME>, I can't... we are through. I can't even look at you. I feel sick. |
| 96641 You disappoint me more than I could ever say. I am glad Gorion is not around to see this. |
| 96642 I have two ways to get inside the asylum: I can obtain a wardstone from a retired Cowled Wizard named Perth, who lives somewhere in town, or I can visit the Pirate Lord Desharik and convince him that I am a deviant. Desharik's house is at the northwest side of town; Perth's home is… Come to think of it, I didn't ask. |
| 96643 I thought we had something. Obviously, I was wrong. |
| 96644 You surprise me, <CHARNAME>. I thought you had taste. |
| 96645 Your constant supervision tires me, Bhaalspawn. |
| 96646 What are you talking about? |
| 96647 Can I help you, Dorn? |
| 96648 Desharik has refused to help me; I must find Perth the Adept and convince him to give me his wardstone. I don't see this ending well. |
| 96649 I don't "supervise." I lead. |
| 96650 I have obtained Perth's wardstone and now must make my way inside the asylum. I must beware of any guardians or traps that might be waiting for me along the way. |
| 96651 Your leadership is laughable and your course folly. I refuse to bow down any longer! |
| 96652 As ever, you are free to do as you want. I wouldn't dream of trying to stop you. |
| 96653 What is this about? |
| 96654 Are you looking for a fight? Because that's what you're going to get if you don't shut the hells up! |
| 96655 I have made it into the asylum and must find a way to see Imoen and locate Irenicus. Perhaps I can learn something from the inmates imprisoned here. |
| 96656 My divine soul has been taken from me, as it was from Imoen. We have been deposited in yet another dungeon; we must find a way to escape. |
| 96657 Do not lie to me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96658 I demand blood! I demand death! You give me naught but skirmishes and petty arguments! |
| 96659 I feel your frustration. There *will* be bloodshed, Dorn, but now is not the time. |
| 96660 Well, we can't go around killing every damned Jack and Sally the world has ever known! |
| 96661 If blood is what you want, Dorn, I can show you your own! |
| 96662 Then when? Tomorrow? Next week? No! Ur-Gothoz demands death, and he shall have it! |
| 96663 And why not? We are a force to be reckoned with, a power matched by few. |
| 96664 Try it, Bhaalspawn! You'll rue the day you laid eyes on Dorn Il-Khan! |
| 96665 From now on, we do things my way. |
| 96666 You think you can do a better job than I? |
| 96667 You WILL do as I say, half-orc. Do you understand? |
| 96668 Fine, then leave. I have no use for whining children. |
| 96669 A dumb, deaf halfwit could do a better job than you. |
| 96670 I will not! |
| 96671 If I cannot have my freedom, I will at LEAST kill when I please! |
| 96672 Why do I get the feeling this isn't about me at all? |
| 96673 You chose to join me of your own volition, Dorn. You are free to do as you please. |
| 96674 You will do as I say or you will leave! Now! |
| 96675 You want to fight? Fine! I'll give you a fight! |
| 96676 I'll show you the whining child here! |
| 96677 This is |
| 96678 I know my own mind! |
| 96679 I think you regret your oath to Ur-Gothoz. You tire of following *his* orders, not mine. |
| 96680 Fine, then. If this is about me, why now? Why not a week ago? I'm no fool, and neither are you. |
| 96681 No more words! I will have blood! |
| 96682 Then I am free to do this! |
| 96683 You will die first! |
| 96684 ENOUGH! Enough. |
| 96685 I will listen. For now. But if you do not afford me the respect I am due, <PRO_RACE>, I swear I WILL have your head. |
| 96686 I have escaped the labyrinth; now I must confront Irenicus. I may be able to enlist the help of the other inmates, too; I'm sure every one of them has a score to settle with this mad mage. |
| 96687 I must follow Irenicus, although where he went I have no idea. Perhaps I can find some answers in his private rooms. I think I saw a door near the entrance to the asylum. |
| 96688 I must use the key I found in Irenicus's rooms to take the portal in the basement. Where it leads I do not know, but it seems to be the only option. |
| 96689 Your father was the Lord of Murder, was he not? |
| 96690 How do you intend to carry out his legacy? |
| 96691 Bhaal was a powerful god. You would be a fool not to embrace his power as your own. |
| 96692 I approve. |
| 96693 Many would kill for a taste of the power that is your birthright. Remember that. |
| 96694 Then you are a foolish <PRO_RACE>. |
| 96695 Bhaal was the god of murder, yes. |
| 96696 Yes. Family reunions were bleak affairs. |
| 96697 What of it? |
| 96698 Carry out his Are you insane? Why would I want to do that? |
| 96699 By doing exactly what I'm doing. |
| 96700 *I* am his legacy, and I will do what I please. |
| 96701 Do not worry. I intend to do exactly that. |
| 96702 And what if I'm content without the power of a deranged god? |
| 96703 Power has a price. I don't know if I'm prepared to pay it. |
| 96704 Whatever the price, it is worth paying. |
| 96705 "<CHARNAME>, Butcher of the Sword Coast." Word of your passage has reached Amn. Your reputation earns you my respect. |
| 96706 Do you not hear it as we walk the streets? Do you not see the looks given you by the peasantry and nobility alike? |
| 96707 Indeed. |
| 96708 Your infamy may someday rival my own. |
| 96709 As do I. But stranger things have happened. |
| 96710 Tell me, Bhaalspawn. When you enter into the fray, stare your enemy in the eye, and attack, what is it you feel? |
| 96711 A <PRO_MANWOMAN> after my own heart. |
| 96712 A warrior born, without fear or hesitation. Interesting. |
| 96713 I have seen the wide-eyed fear, but also the set of your jaw. You have determination, if nothing else. |
| 96714 There is more to you than meets the eye. |
| 96715 There is. Some parts more pleasing than others. |
| 96716 Yes. I suppose you do. |
| 96717 Careful, <CHARNAME>. I'd hate to disappoint you. |
| 96718 Are they really calling me that? |
| 96719 Oh, gods. That is not a title to pull out in mixed company. |
| 96720 Soon it will be more than just reputation to the idiots here in Amn. |
| 96721 Somehow, I doubt it. |
| 96722 The idea fills my heart with joy. No, wait. Not joy. The opposite of that. |
| 96723 Yes. Someday soon. |
| 96724 Fury. Heat. Bloodlust. |
| 96725 Relaxed. I just let it happen. |
| 96726 Unreasoning panic, usually. I'm amazed I've made it this far. |
| 96727 But a fair amount of me that meets the eye too, right? |
| 96728 A <PRO_MANWOMAN> has to have <PRO_HISHER> secrets, Dorn. |
| 96729 I'm sure you have hidden depths as well. Very hidden. |
| 96730 I have cast off my chains and am free to do as I will, thanks to you. |
| 96731 For now, I will follow your lead. Doing so has served me well so far. |
| 96732 As you wish. There is something I'd ask of you. |
| 96733 Wait, I have something to say. |
| 96734 You are a powerful <PRO_MANWOMAN>, <CHARNAME>. You hold your own in battle and strike fear into the hearts of your enemies and allies alike. |
| 96735 I have never known another like you. |
| 96736 My blood boils to look at you, god-child, and I can wait no longer. |
| 96737 Will you share my bedroll tonight? I assure you... you will not regret it. |
| 96738 And tomorrow, and the nights after, if that is what you wish. |
| 96739 I look forward to it. |
| 96740 Bah! I was wrong about you. You are no better than all the rest. |
| 96741 And I as well. |
| 96742 And I you. |
| 96743 <CHARNAME> and Dorn... I like the sound of that. |
| 96744 Share my bedroll once more. You know you will not regret it. |
| 96745 Power such as I have never known flows through my veins... and I have you to thank for it. |
| 96746 How fare you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 96747 You know me well enough to know that if I didn't care, I wouldn't ask. |
| 96748 Do not lie to me, Bhaalspawn. |
| 96749 You look ready to fall where you stand. |
| 96750 Do you need to rest? |
| 96751 Very well. |
| 96752 Irenicus will pay for what he's done, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96753 We WILL retrieve your soul, and then he will burn. |
| 96754 You and I are similar in more ways than one, Bhaalspawn. |
| 96755 We share our orcish blood, certainly. But that is not all. |
| 96756 Apart from that. |
| 96757 Yes, apart from even our shared bloodlust. |
| 96758 Apart from that. |
| 96759 We are both outcast. Labelled and cast aside by the world, the victims of our heritage. |
| 96760 We are both outcast. Labelled and cast aside by the world, victims of our parentage. |
| 96761 Our upbringing was different, but at our core we are both strangers to the world around us. We make our way, but we are cast out and spat upon for our parentage. |
| 96762 An accurate one. |
| 96763 "Not all that troublesome." Hah! Those who know your true heritage recoil, in constant fear of their lives. |
| 96764 We stand forever apart. Few know us, and fewer still understand us. |
| 96765 Fate has brought us together for a reason. Our destiny is writ large in the stars. One day, all will cower before us. |
| 96766 I like the sound of that. |
| 96767 Yes. I do. |
| 96768 I swear to you, they will. You just wait. |
| 96769 The mage's plan was effective, it cannot be denied. Irenicus wields fear and panic like a seasoned warrior does sword and shield. |
| 96770 He is not one to trifle with, but neither are we. |
| 96771 Hold a moment. |
| 96772 This is a beautiful sight. Had we more time, <CHARNAME>... I would take you where we stand, in the midst of this chaos. |
| 96773 Kiss me. |
| 96774 Then perhaps we are too different after all. |
| 96775 You and I, <CHARNAME>... we will go far. |
| 96776 Now let us make this Irenicus suffer as his victims have suffered. |
| 96777 You are MINE... and he will pay for his transgressions! |
| 96778 Please. You freed yourself. I'll take neither the credit nor the blame. |
| 96779 And what is it you will? |
| 96780 Now you must do something for me. |
| 96781 And what of tomorrow? The nights are cold, Dorn. I would have a companion, not a distraction. |
| 96782 You've got that right. |
| 96783 I'm sorry, Dorn. I can't. |
| 96784 It is, and has been for a long time now. |
| 96785 I will have you, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 96786 That's just it. I don't think it is. I'm sorry. |
| 96787 And what of tomorrow? The nights are cold, Dorn. I would have a companion, not a distraction. |
| 96788 You're right about that. |
| 96789 I'm sorry, Dorn. I can't. |
| 96790 Please. You did this yourself. I'll take neither the credit nor the blame. |
| 96791 And what is it you will? |
| 96792 Now you must do something for me. |
| 96793 As though you care. |
| 96794 I'm fine. Just... fine. |
| 96795 I've lost my soul. How do you think I fare? |
| 96796 Don't worry about it. Just make sure I don't collapse. |
| 96797 I'll rest soon enough. A body without a soul can't function for long. |
| 96798 What, apart from the fact we have fantastic tusks? |
| 96799 We do both have excellent taste in men. |
| 96800 We do both have excellent taste in partners. |
| 96801 Aside from our shared love of all things murderous? |
| 96802 What do you mean? |
| 96803 A grim outlook. |
| 96804 Our heritage has caused us both problems, yes. In different ways, I'm sure, but life would certainly be easier were I not a Bhaalspawn. |
| 96805 Our heritage has caused us both problems, yes. Life would certainly be easier were I not a half-orc Bhaalspawn. |
| 96806 I don't know about that. I haven't found my heritage all that troublesome. |
| 96807 And when that day comes, my love, what a celebration we shall have. |
| 96808 You have a magnificent way with words. |
| 96809 If you say so. |
| 96810 It is... impressive. |
| 96811 Hit them right and the most seasoned warrior will still fall. |
| 96812 Admire him some other time, Dorn. We've matters to attend to. |
| 96813 With pleasure. |
| 96814 We are literally in the middle of a battle. No. |
| 96815 We're far more than that, I think. |
| 96816 Lovers, not partners. |
| 96817 Call it what you will. |
| 96818 Much more. |
| 96819 Much to my astonishment. But somehow... so we have. |
| 96820 What do you want? |
| 96821 It will be yours. |
| 96822 That's a lot to ask for, Dorn. |
| 96823 You're mad, half-orc. |
| 96824 I suppose. Fine, then. You will have it. |
| 96825 Not these partners. |
| 96826 This is what you wanted all along, wasn't it? I was nothing to you but a means to an end. |
| 96827 If it will make you happy, Dorn, I will share what power I can. |
| 96828 I can't. I'm sorry. |
| 96829 Let's just get this over with. |
| 96830 WE will take our rightful place as a power in the realms. |
| 96831 Yes. I will. |
| 96832 I am eager to see this done. |
| 96833 Worried. A little anxious. |
| 96834 A little peckish. I could use a sandwich right about now. |
| 96835 Relieved. This has been a long time coming. |
| 96836 I won't. We shall wield a power supreme. |
| 96837 I can't give you that sort of power, Dorn. |
| 96838 I'm sorry, Dorn. I can't give you what you want. |
| 96839 Hah! That's my man. Don't worry, Dorn: I will share it when the time comes. |
| 96840 You'll try. And then you'll die. |
| 96841 I will. |
| 96842 You would have me cut myself? |
| 96843 No. I'm sorry, Dorn. I can't do it. |
| 96844 Dorn of clan Il-Khan. Scourge of the Sword Coast. Will you bleed for love of me? |
| 96845 Dorn Il-Khan, blah blah blah, cut yourself and bleed on me. |
| 96846 I... I can't. I'm sorry. |
| 96847 Very well. |
| 96848 Forget it, Dorn. This isn't happening. |
| 96849 You can run, but you can't hide, you misbegotten harlot! |
| 96850 That's a bit much, don't you think? |
| 96851 I love you. |
| 96852 A lucky one, you mean. |
| 96853 I can think of a few good ways to celebrate... |
| 96854 Glorious? I think not. |
| 96855 I justâ€â€this wasn't what I expected. |
| 96856 A city destroyed and its inhabitants dead? Oh, yes. I'm thrilled. |
| 96857 Only a madman could find pleasure in this. |
| 96858 Nor have I. Whatever Bhaalspawn remain will fall before me. I WILL claim the power that is my birthright. |
| 96859 I'm glad one of us is feeling confident. |
| 96860 We'll see. |
| 96861 I'm game if you are... |
| 96862 Later. We've a long day ahead of us first. |
| 96863 We are partners, are we not? |
| 96864 I once predicted you would become a power in the realms... and I was right. |
| 96865 I have stood by you and fought by your side. We have become lovers and more. |
| 96866 I would be more than your lover, <CHARNAME>. I would be your sworn brother, an avatar of your will in the realms. |
| 96867 Will you grant me this boon, <CHARNAME>? Will you share with me your glory? |
| 96868 We WILL make our mark upon the realms, <CHARNAME>. I promise you that. |
| 96869 I simply ask you to share your power with me. Is that not what partners do? |
| 96870 Then you do not truly love me. What is it? Do you love me, or do you distrust me? |
| 96871 You are not the <PRO_MANWOMAN> I thought you were. We are finished, you and I. |
| 96872 I thought you more than that. Much more. |
| 96873 I see now I was wrong. We are finished, you and I. |
| 96874 The time is almost upon us. We will face Amelyssan, and you will take your rightful place as a new power in the realms. |
| 96875 Of course. |
| 96876 How do you feel? |
| 96877 As am I. It will be a good fight. |
| 96878 Do not be. We WILL get what we deserve. |
| 96879 It has. |
| 96880 Your levity is misplaced, as usual. |
| 96881 Remember what you feel at this moment. What happens next will shape the fate of the realms. |
| 96882 Do not forget what you have promised me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96883 A force like none the realms have seen before. |
| 96884 You WILL grant me the power you have promised, my love. Or I will take it from you. |
| 96885 What?! I give you my love and devotion, and this is how you repay me? |
| 96886 <CHARNAME> of Candlekeep. Bhaalspawn. Will you bleed for love of me? |
| 96887 There. Now say the words. |
| 96888 Take the knife, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96889 I will. |
| 96890 You would make a mockery of a sacred rite of binding? |
| 96891 Now clasp my hand in yours. |
| 96892 Hear me, Amelyssan! <CHARNAME> and I are bonded, blood brothers, companions, and lovers! |
| 96893 Hear me, Amelyssan! <CHARNAME> and I are bonded in blood, companions and lovers! |
| 96894 Do you feel the ground shake beneath you? You should, for WE ARE COMING FOR YOU! |
| 96895 Hah! She will indeed. Let us go, then, my love. The future is ours for the taking. |
| 96896 She should quake before us. |
| 96897 And I you. |
| 96898 Let us go, my love. The future is ours for the taking. |
| 96899 Yaga-Shura dead, a city burning, and you well on your way to victory. This is no contest; it is a slaughter. Our enemies fall before us. |
| 96900 This is a glorious day. |
| 96901 More than lucky. |
| 96902 As can I. |
| 96903 Are you not pleased, my love? |
| 96904 So you should be. |
| 96905 A madman, am I? You will regret your words, <CHARNAME>! |
| 96906 This is our destiny, <CHARNAME>. I have never been more sure of it. |
| 96907 You are magnificent. |
| 96908 It is a certainty. |
| 96909 Indeed we will, my love. |
| 96910 The others are not awake yet... let us TRULY celebrate this great victory. |
| 96911 If you will not share your power with me, <CHARNAME>, I will take it! |
| 96912 You cannot leave during the tutorial. |
| 96913 Brevin |
| 96914 Ah! This endless walking makes me restless. |
| 96915 You hardly seem the cosmopolitan type, <CHARNAME>, and you're obviously not a local. What brought you to Athkatla? |
| 96916 Then let me ask you something of greater import. |
| 96917 You do not have the look of a city woman, that is all. |
| 96918 What of this quest of yours? I would know what I'm getting into before I find myself throat-deep in another's problems. |
| 96919 So it's revenge you're after? |
| 96920 I'll pretend I didn't hear that. |
| 96921 Understandable, though you leave me in a difficult position. |
| 96922 I suppose I have at that. |
| 96923 Had I any close friends, I'm sure I'd feel the same. |
| 96924 We'll get your friend back, <CHARNAME>. I promise you that. |
| 96925 Noâ€â€godsdamn it, no, not nowâ€â€ahh! AHH!! |
| 96926 I'm fine. Let's just... let's just continue. |
| 96927 I'm just a little singed. |
| 96928 Leave me be. |
| 96929 The cloak's magic faltered. For a moment, I was exposed to the sun. |
| 96930 Yes. "Ouch." Thank you for that. Excuse me. |
| 96931 No. It's... worrisome. |
| 96932 Your concern is touching, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96933 I was right, <CHARNAME>. There is a darkness within you. |
| 96934 Tell meâ€â€what are you? |
| 96935 Former, you say? This Bhaal is dead? Or was he overthrown? |
| 96936 And yet I'd know more. |
| 96937 I think not. You're easy on the eyes, but hardly divine. |
| 96938 Perhaps, but there is greater power within <CHARNAME> than it first seems. |
| 96939 You make it sound tempting... Some other time, perhaps. |
| 96940 Many things changed during my seclusion. |
| 96941 So you have divine blood. Is that what Irenicus was after? |
| 96942 Yes, I know. So you also have power. |
| 96943 You are... lustrous... but I don't think that is why Irenicus was interested in you. |
| 96944 I would know whoâ€â€and whatâ€â€I'm dealing with. That is fair, is it not? |
| 96945 We're not so different, you and I. |
| 96946 I've met a few in my time. |
| 96947 Curious. I wonder what he hoped to achieve...? |
| 96948 We both had power thrust upon us, with no choice in the matter. What will you do with yours? Do you even want it? |
| 96949 Godly blood or no, you're far above the normal woman, <CHARNAME>. Trust me on this. |
| 96950 Agreed. We must make do with the gifts we're given. There's nothing to be gained from dwelling on what might have been. |
| 96951 If you say so, <CHARNAME>. I'll not argue the pointâ€â€not right now, anyway. |
| 96952 The woods are a refreshing change of pace, no? The colors are brighter here, the air crisper and less... dense than in the city. |
| 96953 I wouldn't want to live here, but... |
| 96954 Most like. |
| 96955 No. Vacations are pleasant. |
| 96956 Every now and then, it's nice to see a little green. Reminds me it's still there. |
| 96957 Didn't I? |
| 96958 I spent a long time contemplating stones. This is a welcome sight, believe me. |
| 96959 I would have escaped with or without you. It was just a matter of time. |
| 96960 But you did me a service, I'll not deny it. And I thank you for it. |
| 96961 You're very agile, <CHARNAME>. A handy talent to have in battle. You hold your own better than many I've seen. |
| 96962 Your strength is impressive, <CHARNAME>. It serves you well in battle. |
| 96963 You hold your own in battle better than many I've seen, <CHARNAME>. There aren't many who could match your fortitude. |
| 96964 Your ingenuity in battle continues to impress, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96965 I've worked with few more competent. |
| 96966 I do what I can. |
| 96967 You certainly don't lack for self-confidence. Nor should you. |
| 96968 Every adventurer has her assets. Yours are... very impressive. |
| 96969 That's good of you to say. I'm glad I haven't lost my touch. |
| 96970 Definitely an idea worth considering. |
| 96971 I've a question for you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96972 Why do you keep me around? |
| 96973 Women? |
| 96974 You've got me there. |
| 96975 So I'm beautiful, am I? |
| 96976 I'm sorry to have disappointed you. |
| 96977 And what is that? |
| 96978 I see. |
| 96979 Perhaps we'll talk later. |
| 96980 Even so, I'd like you to tell me. |
| 96981 So I'm useful to you? That's it? |
| 96982 The truth. But I'll settle for a flattering lie. |
| 96983 What is it about me you find beautiful? |
| 96984 When we get some time to ourselves, I'll show you where. |
| 96985 If you thought now was the right time to make a joke, you were mistaken. |
| 96986 Exotic, am I? |
| 96987 I suppose I can live with that. |
| 96988 Good answer. |
| 96989 My undead nature excites you? |
| 96990 Wrong answer, <CHARNAME>. |
| 96991 Ubtao's mercy. Is it just me, or are the days getting longer? |
| 96992 Are you sure? |
| 96993 Yes, thank you for pointing out the obvious. |
| 96994 Forgive me, <CHARNAME>. I shouldn't have snapped at you. |
| 96995 I'm fine. |
| 96996 I said I was fine. Let it be. |
| 96997 Then you'll be waiting a long time. I waited decades for the right person to come along; I can wait you out. |
| 96998 You're very observant. That may get you into trouble someday. |
| 96999 You can't help me. No one can. |
| 97000 With one possible exception... |
| 97001 No sane person would. |
| 97002 Risk it with someone else. I'm not in the mood. |
| 97003 Don't tell me what to do, <CHARNAME>. Especially not in this matter. |
| 97004 I thought once I escaped Dragomir's clutches I would never be bored again... how wrong I was. Entertain me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97005 I've seen that dance. It's not as sensual as its reputation makes it sound. |
| 97006 Tell me a story. Something with a little romance. You have had some romance in your life, haven't you? |
| 97007 And here I thought you might have something interesting to say. |
| 97008 A monk? Tell me more. |
| 97009 A priestess? And what happened? Did she... pray? |
| 97010 I know all my stories. I'd hear one of yours now. |
| 97011 I guess I will, at that. |
| 97012 What a shame. Couldn't you have made up something a little more interesting? |
| 97013 I can use my imagination to fill in the blanks. |
| 97014 Ahh, romance AND intrigue. Do go on. |
| 97015 Some day you will open yourself to me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97016 Some day soon, I hope... |
| 97017 Then you'll have to fill them in for me... |
| 97018 Are you afraid of me, <CHARNAME>? |
| 97019 Some seem to take issue with my nature. |
| 97020 You have nothing to fear from me. |
| 97021 Does it bother you? My being undead? |
| 97022 None at all. But it is... disappointing. |
| 97023 Is that what attracts you? How disappointing. |
| 97024 You would be hypocritical not toâ€â€particularly in your case. I'm glad to see you've considered this. |
| 97025 I would hope not. But I hope for many things I'll never have. |
| 97026 You never knew your mother, did you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 97027 We are friends now, are we not? |
| 97028 Would you have wanted to know her, if you could? |
| 97029 And I had my aunts, but I do sometimes wonder. |
| 97030 It is. |
| 97031 You are too quick to judge. You don't know the circumstances that led her to that. She may not have had a choice. |
| 97032 Do you think if you had known her, things would be different? That your life might have taken a very different turn? |
| 97033 It occurred to me after we left Shou Lung... Being raised by someone other than your parents leaves a mark on a person. |
| 97034 An interesting perspectiveâ€â€one I'm not sure I share. |
| 97035 You're right, of course. The past is the past. |
| 97036 Few people knew my mother, <CHARNAME>. Least of all me. |
| 97037 So. Bodhi is dead. |
| 97038 How did it feel, ending her existence? Did you enjoy the thrill of power as she lay below you, defenseless? |
| 97039 I'm curious about something. |
| 97040 The gods had very little to do with it. Your hand wielded the stake. |
| 97041 Is that so? |
| 97042 Not all vampires are inherently evil. Nor do we all thirst for your blood. |
| 97043 I don't dispute it. She needed to be put down, absolutely. It did get me thinking, though. |
| 97044 You'll get over it, I'm sure. |
| 97045 It would be so easy for you to end me. A quick shove, and what amounts to my life is over. |
| 97046 I think you know. |
| 97047 An excellent point. One you'd do well to remember. |
| 97048 This is ridiculous. What can this Melissan possibly hope to achieve? |
| 97049 Were the situation different, most of these people would happily bathe in her blood. No offense intended, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97050 One who knows what it's like to be held against my will. |
| 97051 You're an exception to the rule. |
| 97052 My point exactly. |
| 97053 Enclosing so many volatile creatures in such a small space can lead to nothing good. |
| 97054 That's one word for it. |
| 97055 You can't possibly be that naïve. |
| 97056 Melissan is a fool if she thinks this will change anything. |
| 97057 It's the safest way to beâ€â€a lesson I learned the hard way. |
| 97058 And I don't think there is much time left. |
| 97059 No. It won't. |
| 97060 Still collecting the broken, bedraggled, and insane to your cause, I see. |
| 97061 It used to mystify me, but seeing your little planeâ€â€you're really rather broken yourself, aren't you, darling Bhaalspawn? |
| 97062 No. |
| 97063 I wouldn't say I'm just noticing it now, but it's definitely been confirmed. Just look around you. |
| 97064 Don't play coy. |
| 97065 This motley collectionâ€â€that placeâ€â€are reflections of you. The true you, hidden from the world. |
| 97066 And you choose to let me see it. I'm touched. |
| 97067 Nonsense, is it? If it makes you feel better, I'll take your word for it. |
| 97068 You think I'm joking? I'm sorry to hear it. |
| 97069 If you insist. |
| 97070 You know, <CHARNAME>, I don't think I've ever met anyone quite so intent on getting themselves killed. |
| 97071 Normal adventurers save a few villages, slay a few dragons, explore foreign lands... They're brave, of course, terribly brave. But there comes a time when they must stop. The lucky ones choose to do soâ€â€they retire and live on, fat and happy. |
| 97072 You aren't one of the lucky ones. You're facing the children of a dead god. Our adventures before were dangerous, but nothing to compare to this. |
| 97073 One Bhaalspawn standing against many. |
| 97074 Technically, they disintegrate, but I see your point. |
| 97075 You could stop. You don't have to throw your life away. |
| 97076 Just be careful. Life is precious. I don't want to see you waste it. |
| 97077 I know the feeling better than most. |
| 97078 You know Melissan's plan was doomed from the beginning, don't you? All it did was make it easier for Yaga-Shura to destroy the Bhaalspawn. |
| 97079 It's a tragedy, there's no denying that. But it may work to our advantage. |
| 97080 With the fall of Saradush and Yaga-Shura's death, only a few Bhaalspawn remain. |
| 97081 If we move quickly, it should be relatively easy to eliminate the last of Bhaal's children. |
| 97082 Saradush's destruction has put godhood within your grasp. |
| 97083 That's not ALL I see. But I do see it. |
| 97084 They had to dieâ€â€them or you. The prophecy makes that abundantly clear. |
| 97085 This is beginning to seem almost feasible. |
| 97086 It's too late now. There's only one way we're going to get through this. |
| 97087 No. Just so long as you can live with it. |
| 97088 I believe you. |
| 97089 If I did once, none remain now. |
| 97090 We'll see. |
| 97091 It wasn't by choice, I can tell you that much. |
| 97092 What do you mean, I don't seem the "cosmopolitan" type? |
| 97093 Even if it mattered, it's no business of yours. And it doesn't matter. |
| 97094 I'd rather not talk about it. |
| 97095 My childhood friend and I were kidnapped by a mage who experimented on and tortured us. I escaped, but he still has Imoen. I must find her. |
| 97096 I will find the mage Irenicus, make him suffer as few have suffered before, then kill him. Any other questions? |
| 97097 I'd settle for rescuing Imoen. |
| 97098 Revenge and a sandwich. Why don't you go fetch me one? |
| 97099 It'll do for a start. |
| 97100 Here's the story, then: I must find my childhood friend, Imoen, and rescue her from the mage Irenicus. Satisfied now? |
| 97101 That's not my problem. |
| 97102 You've been in worse. |
| 97103 Hexxat? |
| 97104 That's a lot of smoke for someone who's fine. |
| 97105 What happened? Are you all right? |
| 97106 Very well. |
| 97107 No, I don't think so. What happened? |
| 97108 If that's really what you want, fine. |
| 97109 Ouch. |
| 97110 It stopped working? Do you know why? |
| 97111 Go wash yourself. You stink of burned and rotting meat. |
| 97112 I am a daughter of Bhaal, formerly the god of murder. |
| 97113 You've figured me out. I'm the divine emissary to His Lordship the duke of Cheem. |
| 97114 I'm <CHARNAME>. No more and no less. |
| 97115 He foresaw his death during the Time of Troubles and seeded the land with his progeny. |
| 97116 He died, yes. It was the best thing that could have happened to him. |
| 97117 I'm here and he's not. That's all you need to know. |
| 97118 You're wrong about that. I'm a child of Bhaal, former god of murder. |
| 97119 I'll take that as a compliment, though I'm not sure it was meant as one. |
| 97120 I'm a child of the dead god of murder, Bhaal. A Bhaalspawn. |
| 97121 Keep bothering me and you'll feel that power firsthand. |
| 97122 You're far too smart for your own good. |
| 97123 No, he was after my lustrous good looks. |
| 97124 What's it to you? |
| 97125 You know what mages are interested in, do you? |
| 97126 Fine, yes. I don't know exactly what he was after, but he did mention my power from time to time. |
| 97127 Think what you will. It matters little to me. |
| 97128 If I could be rid of it, I would. I want nothing more than to be a normal <PRO_RACE>. |
| 97129 I've got it, whether I want it or not. All that matters is what I do with it. |
| 97130 Don't try to equate us, Hexxat. We are nothing alike. |
| 97131 I thought you preferred cities? |
| 97132 I guess I'd feel the same if I'd spent centuries locked in a tomb. |
| 97133 We're not here on vacation. |
| 97134 You never thanked me for helping you out of that tomb, by the way. |
| 97135 You need reminding? |
| 97136 I know what you mean. |
| 97137 No. |
| 97138 I don't appreciate ingratitude. |
| 97139 You're welcome, all the same. |
| 97140 I appreciate that, Hexxat. That means a lot, coming from one as able as you. |
| 97141 Few have. |
| 97142 Likewise. |
| 97143 As are yours. |
| 97144 I doubt they're any match for yours. Perhaps we could... compare our assets sometime. |
| 97145 Yes, well. Uh. Excuse me. I have to go... elsewhere. |
| 97146 I like having beautiful women around. |
| 97147 There's something about you that intrigues me. |
| 97148 You know why. |
| 97149 What do you want me to say, Hexxat? |
| 97150 None can compare to your beauty. |
| 97151 Don't pretend you're any different. |
| 97152 You know you are. |
| 97153 You are, but slightly less so with that smirk on your face. |
| 97154 Fishing for compliments, Hexxat? I thought better of you. |
| 97155 The way you appreciate silence. |
| 97156 You have an exotic allure that's nigh irresistible. |
| 97157 You're smart, capable, witty, and striking. Do I need more reason than that? |
| 97158 You're a vampire, and a beautiful one at that. How could I resist you? Why would anyone want to? |
| 97159 I like the company of beautiful women. A taste we share, I suspect. |
| 97160 What do you want me to tell you, Hexxat? |
| 97161 You have a number of talents that are of use to me. |
| 97162 The truth then: You are a beautiful woman. I like beautiful women. |
| 97163 The truth is I need you. I need your skills, your expertise. But I also want you, for... other skills and expertise. |
| 97164 The truth is I can use a woman of your skills. |
| 97165 Everything, really. I don't know where to start. |
| 97166 You have an exotic allure that's nigh irresistible. |
| 97167 You're smart, capable, witty, and striking. What more could anyone want? |
| 97168 You're a vampire, and a beautiful one at that. How could I resist you? Why would anyone want to? |
| 97169 It's just you. |
| 97170 What's the problem? |
| 97171 You better pull your hood up. |
| 97172 Pretty sure. Are you all right? |
| 97173 I was just trying to help. |
| 97174 No problem. You should also try to avoid stepping in mud puddles and cow dung. |
| 97175 It can't be easy for you, watching the sun rise. |
| 97176 What's the matter? |
| 97177 No. You shouldn't have. |
| 97178 You don't seem fine. |
| 97179 If you insist. |
| 97180 Ah, I get it now. It's watching the sun rise that's bothering you. |
| 97181 You waited decades until I came along. Out with it. |
| 97182 Is this something to do with the sunrise? |
| 97183 You're impossible. Fine, then. |
| 97184 You do not wish to be what you are. |
| 97185 Talk to me, Hexxat. I might be able to help. |
| 97186 I'll risk it. |
| 97187 I'm sorry. It must be... difficult for you. |
| 97188 You've been granted power few ever achieve. You should embrace it. |
| 97189 There might be some downsides, but this is what you are. Accept it. |
| 97190 And how would you like me to entertain you, exactly? |
| 97191 As you wish. I shall now perform the highly sensual Dance of the Seven Ducks. |
| 97192 Entertain yourself. You should be used to that by now. |
| 97193 Not really, no. Sorry. |
| 97194 I'm waiting for the right person. |
| 97195 There was this young monk in Candlekeep. |
| 97196 There was a young priestess once... |
| 97197 How about you tell a story? I'm sure you have many. |
| 97198 We shared a few stolen kisses, longing glances, that sort of thing. Nothing exciting. |
| 97199 He took me under an apple tree one spring, behind the library. It was glorious. |
| 97200 The interesting part wasn't so much the monk as the maid who was courting him. |
| 97201 That's ALL she did. It was so boring. She wouldn't even kiss me. |
| 97202 We snuck into the haybarn one night, under cover of darkness. There was a fair amount of prayer going on that night, as I recall. |
| 97203 We never got to act on our feelings. She was only there for a week. Fun while it lasted, though. |
| 97204 Then you'll be disappointed. |
| 97205 You're going to have to. I can't believe I told you as much as I did. |
| 97206 One day, I'd be happy to fill in the blanks myself. |
| 97207 Oh, gods. Don't do that. |
| 97208 Well, there were a few fights, some kissing, that sort of thing. The monk ended up being fairly boring, but the maid... well. |
| 97209 It was an enormous drama until Gorion pulled us aside and put a stop to it. Ah, well. It was fun while it lasted. |
| 97210 No, I think that's enough of that. |
| 97211 Do I look like I'm trembling, Hexxat? |
| 97212 Sometimes. Sometimes you frighten me. |
| 97213 You're a vampire. I'd be a fool if you didn't make me a little nervous. |
| 97214 Of course. That should come as no surprise. |
| 97215 Actually, quite the opposite. Your power makes you attractive. |
| 97216 I judge people for their actions, not their nature. |
| 97217 Should it? |
| 97218 And who will this new Trust worship? Clearly, the Twofold Goddess is no longer an option. |
| 97219 No. I didn't. |
| 97220 That's a rather personal question. |
| 97221 I dreamed about her once, but that's about it. |
| 97222 It's not something I've thought about. I had Imoen and Gorion. |
| 97223 It would be nice to have known her, sure, but... that's life. |
| 97224 She slept with Bhaal. I think I know her well enough. |
| 97225 I see no point in worrying about what might have been. I am who I am. |
| 97226 Maybe, maybe not. I don't know and I can't find out, so... |
| 97227 Of course I'd be different, but I wouldn't be... me. |
| 97228 It makes us stronger. |
| 97229 I've never worried about not having parents, and I'll not start now. |
| 97230 At least you knew your mother, Hexxat. |
| 97231 Very. |
| 97232 Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Wait, yes it could. It'd almost have to. |
| 97233 Thank the gods. |
| 97234 After what she did to Imoen, to me? It felt good. That's how it felt. |
| 97235 She was another enemy to be destroyed. Nothing more. |
| 97236 Feeling a little nervous, are you, vampire? |
| 97237 Bodhi got what she deserved. |
| 97238 You don't thirst for my blood? I'm hurt. |
| 97239 You are literally the only vampire I've met who hasn't tried to kill me. Yet. |
| 97240 Why would you say this to me? |
| 97241 If you stop and think about it, that can be said for most anyone. |
| 97242 You could end me just as easily. |
| 97243 I have no idea. |
| 97244 She's trying to save the Bhaalspawn. A noble goal, I'd say. |
| 97245 I don't know. Nor do I care to. |
| 97246 None taken. |
| 97247 I've seen you bathe in the blood of others, Hexxat. Who are you to judge the Bhaalspawn? |
| 97248 I'd bathe in her blood myself, if the opportunity were presented. |
| 97249 She's just trying to help. |
| 97250 Perhaps they'll realize the danger they're in and band together. |
| 97251 A few more weeks and things here are going to get... entertaining. |
| 97252 Must you always be so cynical? |
| 97253 Perhaps, perhaps not. Only time will tell. |
| 97254 Agreed. This isn't going to end well. |
| 97255 Isn't everyone? |
| 97256 You just noticed that now? |
| 97257 Excuse me? |
| 97258 Touched in the head. Tell me you don't actually believe the nonsense you're spouting. |
| 97259 Is everything a joke to you? |
| 97260 This place is nothing like me. Nothing. |
| 97261 Is that what you think I'm doing? |
| 97262 That's less my intent than an unfortunate byproduct of what I do intend. |
| 97263 You're a woman of the world, Hexxat. I'm sure you've met women far more suicidal than I. Probably even drove a few to it. |
| 97264 No more dangerous than I am. I am a child of Bhaal, after all. |
| 97265 Bhaalspawn fall just as hard as everyone else. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. |
| 97266 You think I want to do this? |
| 97267 I can't stop now. Even if I could, I wouldn't. |
| 97268 Even if I do run, they'll find me eventually. There's only one way to end this. |
| 97269 I'm caught in a prophecy, Hexxat. I don't have a choice. I'd think you of all people could understand what that's like. |
| 97270 Are you insane? How could this possibly work in our favor? |
| 97271 Hundreds of people are dead, perhaps thousands, and all you can see is how it might benefit us? |
| 97272 How do you mean? |
| 97273 What is wrong with you? They may have been Bhaalspawn, but they were still people. |
| 97274 You're right. This will be over sooner without rogue agents nipping at my heels. |
| 97275 They would have fallen before me eventually, but this does make things more convenient. |
| 97276 There must have been another way. I would have figured something out. |
| 97277 You may be right. That doesn't mean I have to like it. |
| 97278 The prophecy will be fulfilled. I will take the power that is my birthright. |
| 97279 You had doubts? |
| 97280 When this is done, I WILL be the last Bhaalspawn standing. |
| 97281 Feasible? Try inevitable. |
| 97282 Selûne's light will show the way. It always does in the end. |
| 97283 The Selûnite sect of the Sun Soul order will not have us back now. You can be sure of that. |
| 97284 Forget the Selûnites' leaders. Would she herself turn away those who are true to her in their heart? |
| 97285 No great loss. |
| 97286 For the order, or for us? |
| 97287 For you, of course. You'll do better without the restraints of the order holding you back. |
| 97288 For the order. Clearly, neither you nor the Master of Combat truly belonged there. |
| 97289 For everyone involved. |
| 97290 I'll let you decide that. |
| 97291 We shall see. |
| 97292 You must join him, Rasaad. |
| 97293 What do you think, Rasaad? Is this new Selûnite faction a worthy venture? |
| 97294 I will watch with interest... from what I hope is a safe distance. Let's be away from this place. |
| 97295 You are a true servant of Selûne, Rasaad. You would be most welcome. Please excuse me. I must tend to the wounded. |
| 97296 You say you have nothing. I say there is much for you here... if you have the strength to accept it. |
| 97297 Or bad things'll happen. |
| 97298 It was a harrowing experienceâ€â€and a humbling one. |
| 97299 This is a secret entrance I helped craft, for emergencies. I think this qualifies, don't ye? In we go! |
| 97300 Take the monk, for instance. A follower of the Sun Soul, he is commanded to seek the lightâ€â€but I sense much darkness within him. What has he lost, I wonder, to find himself in such a state? |
| 97301 Everything. I have lost everything. |
| 97302 Such a limited worldview... Your imagination, or lack of one, saddens me. You have much more to lose. I will show you. |
| 97303 You will show me nothing, monster! |
| 97304 Ahnn! |
| 97305 You will pay for that, monk. You will SUFFER. Seize them! |
| 97306 So, you would stand shoulder to shoulder with the Moonmaiden? An incredible opportunity, I admit... but a frightening one. |
| 97307 We have spent enough time together that I believe I have some understanding of your character, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97308 I fear what would happen if you took your place among the gods, but I will not stand in your way. |
| 97309 The gods should sing praises to see you join their ranksâ€â€you will be a force of good, of balance. |
| 97310 But do not forget us when you ascend, <CHARNAME>. Regardless of what has happened in the past, I am and shall be your friend. |
| 97311 Can this be real? Do you truly stand at the precipice of godhood? |
| 97312 <CHARNAME>, before you decide... I must tell you something. |
| 97313 Your fate is your own, and I will not try to push you in one direction or another. Butâ€â€I must be truthful. I cannot hide my feelings. I love you, <CHARNAME>. You are my moon, my stars, my sun. Please, <CHARNAME>, stay with me. Please do not become a god. |
| 97314 I have arrived in the Underdark. But where to go from here? Perhaps I can ask for directions… but from whom? |
| 97315 The duergar told me that Irenicus and Bodhi may have thrown their lot in with the drow, which does not bode well. I'll have to somehow infiltrate their city without them seeing meâ€â€or at the very least, without them recognizing me as a surface dweller as soon as they see me. The answers may lie somewhere in these caverns. I will just have to keep looking. |
| 97316 A svirfneblin named Goldander has offered me an item that will allow me to visit a being named Adalon, who can help me enter Ust Natha. I will need to perform a task for him first: Kill the beast that has awakened in the svirfneblin settlement and lay it to rest with magic. |
| 97317 I have killed the beast and now must return to Goldander for the light gem he promised me. |
| 97318 I have received a light gem that will allow me entrance to Adalon's cave. I must go to her and seek her help in entering Ust Natha. |
| 97319 Adalon has disguised me as a drow, which will allow me to enter their city undetected. In return for her assistance, I am to retrieve Adalon's eggs, which have been stolen by the drow. |
| 97320 I am to report to Solaufein in the Male Fighters' Society. |
| 97321 Shadow Ritual |
| 97322 I have been directed to speak with Handmaiden Imrae, who has a task for me. I will find her in the bazaar area near the entrance to the city. |
| 97323 Shadow Gem |
| 97324 When examined closely, this glowing purple gem seems to be filled with a subtle fog, perpetually shifting within the gem. When set down, this gem appears to leech the very color and light out of surrounding objects until it is moved. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 97325 I must rescue Phaere from a group of mind flayers near the eastern tunnels of the Underdark caverns. When I have rescued her, I am to return to Solaufein in Ust Natha. |
| 97326 I have been granted a full day's rest, after which I must meet Phaere in the tavern. |
| 97327 There is a rogue beholder in the eastern section of the city, which I must find and kill. |
| 97328 Phaere has granted me three days' reprieve; I am to again meet her in the tavern when I am ready. |
| 97329 Phaere wants me to kill the svirfneblins. After dealing with them earlier, I don't know how I feel about this, but I suppose I'll have to deal with my conscience later. I am to bring the chieftain's helmet back as proof. |
| 97330 I must bring the svirfneblin's helmet to Phaere in the tavern of Ust Natha. Hopefully, this string of tasks will be over soon… |
| 97331 Phaere seems angry; she has demanded that I meet her in the Female Fighters' Society tower. I had better not keep her waiting. |
| 97332 Phaere wants me to kill Solaufein; I will find him in the Male Fighters' Society tower. I am to bring her his piwafwi cloak as proof of his death. Disobeying her seems foolish, and yet it seems like needless murder. Perhaps there is another way? |
| 97333 I have Solaufein's cloak and must bring it to Phaere as proof of his death. |
| 97334 My actions have impressed Matron Mother Ardulace; I am to meet her in the temple of Lolth. |
| 97335 Matron Mother Ardulace wishes me to prove myself by bringing back either the blood of an elder brain, an eyestalk of an elder orb, or the blood of a kuo-toan prince. I'll find each of them in the various tunnels within the Underdark caverns, and I have three days to accomplish this task. |
| 97336 I must return to Matron Mother Ardulace in the temple of Lolth with the item she demanded. None of this brings me any closer to finding Adalon's eggs, however… |
| 97337 I must return to Matron Mother Ardulace so that she may commence the ritual to summon the demon and offer it Adalon's eggs. There may be a way to trick her, though, and still bring the eggs to Adalon as promised. |
| 97338 I have retrieved Adalon's eggs and must return to her as soon as possible. |
| 97339 Adalon's eggs are destroyed. She will not be happy about that, but I need to return to her regardless. |
| 97340 I have been transported by Adalon to the entrance to the surface. I will have to fight my way through the drow, but when I think of the slaughter that I might have faced without her help… Perhaps not all dragons are to be slain. |
| 97341 I will need to find a way out without Adalon's aid. It is likely that the way out lies in one of the tunnels in the Underdark caverns. A bloody battle awaits… |
| 97342 I must find the Rhynn Lanthorn, which will open the way to Suldanessellar, where Irenicus awaits. I am told that the Rhynn Lanthorn is currently possessed by Bodhi in her lair in Athkatla's Graveyard District. If I find any allies before then, they may be of help in facing her. |
| 97343 I have slain Bodhi and retrieved the Rhynn Lanthorn. I must return to Elhan near the Underdark entrance with it so that the way to Suldanessellar can be opened. Perhaps now Elhan will also answer some of my questions about Irenicus's true history with the elves. |
| 97344 It appears that Suldanessellar needs my help. I am to find Ellesime, or if I cannot, the high priestess Demin may know a way to save the city. |
| 97345 According to Demin, I can summon an avatar of Rillifane to help drive back the enemy forces and clear a path to Irenicus. I will need to find a talisman of Rillifane, a moonblade, and a golden cup. When I have all three items, I must bring them to the temple of Rillifane and place them on the altar. |
| 97346 Rillifane's avatar has appeared and cleared a path forward. I must go to the Tree of Life and confront Irenicus once and for all. |
| 97347 I have found myself in a strange grove surrounded by standing stone faces. Their eyes seem to burn with ancient life… |
| 97348 I seem to have acquired a pocket plane, which will serve nicely as a meeting place between adventures. For now, I must return to the mortal world when I am ready; there is something happening in Saradush that requires my attention. |
| 97349 I must find a way to enter the palace and confront Gromnir Il-Khan. I should be able to find a way in if I talk to the people in town. |
| 97350 I must find a way to overcome Yaga-Shura's invincibility. I may find answers in the Forest of Mir. I may need to use my pocket plane to travel outside of Saradush, however. |
| 97351 In order to overcome Yaga-Shura's invincibility, I must retrieve his heart. Yes, his heart. I'll find it in his home in the Marching Mountains. I will also need to retrieve the heart of his adopted mother, Nyalee, and return both of them to her in the Forest of Mir. |
| 97352 Now that Yaga-Shura's invulnerability has been lifted, I must confront him outside of Saradush and kill him. I suspect that, invincible or not, he will still prove to be a challenge, particularly surrounded by an army of fire giants. |
| 97353 I must deal with two more Bhaalspawn: Sendai and Abazigal. First, however, I am to make my way to Amkethran to meet with a friend of Melissan's by the name of Balthazar. |
| 97354 Balthazar was less than pleasant, but he gave me information about where I may find Sendai and Abazigal. Whichever one I deal with first doesn't seem to matter, but both will have to be confronted eventually. |
| 97355 I have dealt with Sendai and Abazigal, and it seems that Balthazar is the last remaining Bhaalspawn. I must return to Amkethran to confront him. |
| 97356 Balthazar's compound may be difficult to infiltrate. I will need to find a way to get inside; perhaps someone around the settlement will be able to help me? |
| 97357 I have managed to get inside Balthazar's compound. All that remains is to confront this last Bhaalspawn, and then… And then I don't know. What will happen when I am the only Bhaalspawn left? |
| 97358 Balthazar is dead, and Melissan has revealed herself to be the true mastermind behind all of this. I will need to confront her at the source of Bhaal's essence, the seat of his power. |
| 97359 I'll risk it. |
| 97360 Do not disappoint me. |
| 97361 I tell you, <CHARNAME>, I can understand the desire to take a break from adventuring, but I question your taste in accommodations. |
| 97362 I'm sorry? |
| 97363 A brief dungeon stay is good for the soul. You should try it sometime. |
| 97364 Some advice for you, Rasaad: Leave the jokes to those who're good at them. |
| 97365 Forgive me. I was trying to make a joke. |
| 97366 I see. For future reference, you'll generally want to leave a few weeks between the imprisonment and torture and making jokes about it. |
| 97367 Next time, try harder. Actually, don't let there be a next time. |
| 97368 I was trying to make a joke. |
| 97369 I was trying to lighten your mood with a joke. |
| 97370 I heard you. I'm just sorry. |
| 97371 Really? |
| 97372 Not really, no. Getting tortured by a mad wizard is not something I can recommend, at least not in good conscience. |
| 97373 It's good you're working on your sense of humor, Rasaad. But you really need to work a little harder. |
| 97374 No. I was trapped in a dungeon by an insane wizard, you idiot. |
| 97375 You once told me toâ€â€lighten up. I was trying to follow your advice. |
| 97376 You took MY advice? Gods help you. |
| 97377 Some things you don't joke about. The imprisonment and torture of your friends? Definitely one of them. |
| 97378 Poor advice on my part. Grim suits you. In the future, try to stick to it. |
| 97379 I will endeavor to do so. |
| 97380 I did not mean to offend you. |
| 97381 I am sorry if I offended you. That was not my intent. |
| 97382 I had hoped to see the smile I remember so well from our previous time together. |
| 97383 You might, someday. But not someday soon, I fear. |
| 97384 I'm not in a smiling mood at the moment. |
| 97385 Treasure the memory, monk. It's all you'll have for some time to come. |
| 97386 I am sorry to hear that. |
| 97387 That is regrettable. |
| 97388 Even so, I am glad Selûne has seen fit to cross our paths once more. |
| 97389 Me too. It hasn't been the same without you. |
| 97390 So Selûne's the one I should blame for inflicting you on me once more? |
| 97391 Yes, I'd be happy to see me too. |
| 97392 Now you are joking with me. |
| 97393 Am I? |
| 97394 If you say so. |
| 97395 Believe that if you will. I care not. |
| 97396 Aren't you? |
| 97397 Of course I am. |
| 97398 That is the question, isn't it? |
| 97399 You'll never know. |
| 97400 Ah! |
| 97401 You ARE joking with me. |
| 97402 There is the smile I was looking for. |
| 97403 You are changed, <CHARNAME>. It seems to me there was once a light in your eyes... but no longer. |
| 97404 Being tortured by a madman does tend to dim some things. The light in one's eyes. The hope for a brighter tomorrow. One's view of humanity. |
| 97405 Says the monk obsessed with avenging his dead brother. |
| 97406 The look in my eyes is no business of yours, monk. |
| 97407 I believe you will recover all these things. You are stronger than anyone I have ever known. |
| 97408 I have faced many trials in my time. But none to compare to yours, I think. |
| 97409 I am worried about you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97410 Did Irenicus give you any clue what he wanted from you? |
| 97411 Yes, he detailed his entire plan to me. Something to do with awakening an undead squirrel behemoth, as I recall. |
| 97412 He kept experimenting, trying to provoke... something. I know not what, and don't much care, now that I think of it. |
| 97413 No. Now let's talk of something else. Or better still, not talk at all. |
| 97414 You try to hide your pain with humor. You do not need to do this with me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97415 I'm sorry, Rasaad. It's a hard habit to break. |
| 97416 You'd have me treat you differently than everyone else? Are you truly so vain? |
| 97417 My pain is my own. I'll not share it, with you or anyone. |
| 97418 Perhaps it is vanityâ€â€but yes. I would have you treat me differently than the others. |
| 97419 Be patient with me, please. What you want may come, with time. |
| 97420 Oh. OH. Oh dear. I'm sorry, Rasaad. You seem to have gotten the wrong idea. A VERY wrong idea. |
| 97421 It's not going to happen. |
| 97422 I see. Thank you forâ€â€clearing that up. |
| 97423 I shall leave you to your thoughts. |
| 97424 Take as much time as you need. I will be here. I just |
| 97425 Whatever it is, I am glad he kept you alive. |
| 97426 You and me both. |
| 97427 Where there's life, there's hope. |
| 97428 I'm sure your happiness was uppermost on Irenicus's mind. |
| 97429 I've offended you. I'm sorry. I just |
| 97430 A worthy sentiment. |
| 97431 I am sorry. I just |
| 97432 Iâ€â€I wish there were something I could do. |
| 97433 Things were simpler when I was in the order. The light less harsh. |
| 97434 Now... the world is darker. The light does nothing but cast more shadows. |
| 97435 I believe the light will guide us from the darkness, Rasaad. In time. |
| 97436 Gods, you're depressing. |
| 97437 People like us walk in the darkness, Rasaad. It was always thus. |
| 97438 I believed the same thing once. |
| 97439 I fear I am. Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend things are as they were. But they cannot stay closed forever. |
| 97440 Things are different now. Our path is not so clear, and more dangerous than ever before. |
| 97441 Yet still we must find our way. |
| 97442 Whatever path we choose will be the right one, I am sure of it. |
| 97443 We could just stop. Set up a tavern, maybeâ€â€or a temple, if you'd prefer. |
| 97444 And we will. There's no point in worrying about the future, Rasaad. |
| 97445 I am glad you remain optimistic, <CHARNAME>. I hope you are right. |
| 97446 I know you are joking, <CHARNAME>. But still I am tempted. |
| 97447 And yet I do. |
| 97448 It is strange to be back in Athkatla after what happened here between Gamaz and I. |
| 97449 This place holds few pleasant memories. |
| 97450 I'm sorry we have to spend so much time here. |
| 97451 Surely you've moved past that by now? |
| 97452 Why did you come back? |
| 97453 Don't be, please. I am here of my own volition. |
| 97454 I thought I had, but now that I am here once more... |
| 97455 This is where my pursuit of the Heretics led. That you were here as well was a happy coincidence. |
| 97456 I'm glad we found each other again. |
| 97457 "Happy" is a very strong word. |
| 97458 And I am made glad to hear it. |
| 97459 But fitting, for me at least. |
| 97460 Had you seen Athkatla before you escaped Irenicus's dungeon? |
| 97461 No. Never. It's a strange and twisted path that brought me here. |
| 97462 No. I'd have been happy not to have seen it at all. |
| 97463 What business is that of yours? |
| 97464 I did not mean to pry, my friend. I will leave you be. |
| 97465 Have you been to any cities, aside from Baldur's Gate and now Athkatla? |
| 97466 The walls of Candlekeep were pretty high. |
| 97467 I've read about many of them, but never been. |
| 97468 Does it matter? |
| 97469 Aye. It was as much fortress as library. |
| 97470 It's not a matter of life and death, by any means. I merely seek to pass the time. |
| 97471 What was it like, seeing a city for the first time? |
| 97472 It was a little overwhelming at first. |
| 97473 It wasn't the sight that hit me first, but the smell. Ye gods, how do people live with the stench? |
| 97474 They're not so different from villages. A little larger, that is all. |
| 97475 I can imagine. |
| 97476 Calimport was worse, thanks to the heat. After a time, you'll no longer notice it. |
| 97477 Five senses is more than any sensible person needs. |
| 97478 Anywhere that smells this bad can't be safe to live in. |
| 97479 Somehow, I doubt that. |
| 97480 Perhaps you are right. |
| 97481 Is there any safe place, in this world? |
| 97482 You will see. |
| 97483 We walk very different paths, <CHARNAME>. But I am glad they led us to one another. |
| 97484 As am I. |
| 97485 We are very different people, Rasaad. |
| 97486 I'd be glad to have met me, too. |
| 97487 I think life would be boring if we were not. Though I'd choose boredom over at least some of the excitement we've had. Better a boring life than an exciting death, eh? |
| 97488 We are fortunate to be able to choose how we live. Few get to choose how they die. |
| 97489 A long, boring life sounds good to me. |
| 97490 For you, perhaps. I am made of sterner stuff. |
| 97491 Hah! That there, your humor, is why you make such fine company. |
| 97492 Your combat technique is improving, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97493 I wasn't doing well before? |
| 97494 Thank you, Rasaad. You're not doing so badly yourself. |
| 97495 What do you want? |
| 97496 Well enoughâ€â€you survived, after all. But you have improved. |
| 97497 I see. |
| 97498 It is good of you to notice. And kind of you to say. |
| 97499 Your company, that is all. |
| 97500 You've got it. But enjoy it in silence, for now. |
| 97501 Is it? |
| 97502 I'm not in the mood for talking right now. |
| 97503 What more could I want? |
| 97504 I can think of a few things. |
| 97505 *sigh* Nothing. You could want nothing more. |
| 97506 You need to ask? I thought you a man. I see how how very wrong I was. |
| 97507 Oh. |
| 97508 Perhaps we'll talk another time, then. |
| 97509 Such as? |
| 97510 Use your imagination. I'm sure you've got one buried deep in that thick skull of yours. |
| 97511 Figure it out, Rasaad. If you ever do, come talk to me again. |
| 97512 You're a man, not a child. I shouldn't have to explain these things to you. |
| 97513 It's a lovely day. |
| 97514 It is, isn't it? |
| 97515 You are utterly hopeless. |
| 97516 It is. I think I'd enjoy it more on my own. |
| 97517 Iâ€â€I only meant to say |
| 97518 It cannot compare to your beauty, but it is lovely nonetheless. |
| 97519 You are a terrible liar, Rasaad. But a sweet one. |
| 97520 Hm. Perhaps you aren't UTTERLY hopeless. |
| 97521 "It cannot compare"� You missed your calling, Rasaad. You should have been a bard. |
| 97522 I am a servant of Selûne. I would not lie to you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97523 That is good to hear. |
| 97524 I have offended you. I apologize. I shall go now. |
| 97525 No, Rasaad, don't go. |
| 97526 I'm not offended. |
| 97527 Good idea. |
| 97528 As you wish. |
| 97529 I know you're doing your best here. It's justâ€â€I've much on my mind at the moment. |
| 97530 I know you're doing the best you can with this. It's not your fault you're terrible at it. |
| 97531 For future reference: If you want my company, you've got it. If you want my companionship, you'll get further just asking for it. |
| 97532 Oh. Good. |
| 97533 I know you're doing your best here. It's justâ€â€I've much on my mind at the moment. |
| 97534 I know you're doing the best you can with this. It's not your fault you're terrible at it. |
| 97535 For future reference: If you want my company, you've got it. If you want my companionship, you'll get further just asking for it. |
| 97536 Such things do not come easily to me. I will try to keep this in mind going forward. |
| 97537 I should leave you to your thoughts then. |
| 97538 I'm sorry. This is a waste of time. |
| 97539 It will have been, if you learned nothing from it. |
| 97540 So I'm a waste of your time now? |
| 97541 Yes. You let it become one. |
| 97542 I seem to be making a mess of this. |
| 97543 It should not be this hard to compliment someone. |
| 97544 If I made this easy, it would be no fun. |
| 97545 No, it shouldn't. I think you need to practice. |
| 97546 Complimenting someone is easy. Getting them to respond favorably to the compliment is the tricky part. |
| 97547 I might enjoy it more. |
| 97548 I will do so. |
| 97549 You are so... |
| 97550 Did you say something? |
| 97551 So...? |
| 97552 Please don't finish that sentence. We need to talk. |
| 97553 I... what? |
| 97554 I'm not interested in youâ€â€that way. I'm sorry. |
| 97555 You're going to say something I'll regret. I can smell it. |
| 97556 I see the way you look at me. Stop it. We are friends, nothing more. |
| 97557 Ah. What I meant to say... I mean... |
| 97558 <CHARNAME>, you are the most beautiful, astounding creature on the face of Toril. Your grace and elegance entrance me. Your light shines brighter than any other. |
| 97559 Is this a joke? |
| 97560 You are very observant. |
| 97561 I see. And how much time did you spend rehearsing that line? |
| 97562 As you wish. |
| 97563 I... see. Thank you for your honesty. Excuse me. |
| 97564 That is difficult to hear, but important to know. Thank you, <CHARNAME>. I will endeavor to follow your advice in the future. |
| 97565 I am glad you think so. |
| 97566 Does it... amuse you? |
| 97567 It's the funniest thing I've heard in days. |
| 97568 You're not going to put any jesters out of work with that kind of material. |
| 97569 No. |
| 97570 This is no joke, <CHARNAME>. I speak from my heart. |
| 97571 Less talking. More kissing. |
| 97572 Next time, go for the joke. |
| 97573 I'm sorry to hear that. I can't give you what you want, Rasaad. |
| 97574 It took a while. |
| 97575 It was beautiful. Come and kiss me. |
| 97576 Next time, speak from the heart, not some book of poorly written verse. You'll get farther that way, I promise you. |
| 97577 Wasted time. We are friends, monk. And that is all we shall ever be. |
| 97578 It was no joke. I spoke from the heart. |
| 97579 Less talking. More kissing. |
| 97580 Next time, go for the joke. |
| 97581 I'm sorry to hear that. I can't give you what you want, Rasaad. |
| 97582 Mm. |
| 97583 That was... |
| 97584 More. |
| 97585 A little sloppy. We'll work on it. |
| 97586 Better than I expected. I didn't know you had it in you. |
| 97587 As you wish. |
| 97588 You'll find I learn quickly. |
| 97589 I hope so. |
| 97590 You'd better. |
| 97591 There is much you don't know about me, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97592 I look forward to finding out more. |
| 97593 Perhaps I'll find out more... some other day. |
| 97594 Let's keep it that way. |
| 97595 I await that day eagerly, if not happily. |
| 97596 I wish I had seen more places such as this as a child. The city was wondrous, but this puts marble and gold to shame. |
| 97597 Nothing quite matches the majesty of nature. |
| 97598 What was Calimport like? |
| 97599 Give me marble and gold over flies and bugs any day. |
| 97600 Few things, at least. |
| 97601 What things are these, then? |
| 97602 You jest. What could be more glorious than dirt, and weeds, and more dirt? |
| 97603 I said nothing, and I meant it. |
| 97604 You do not see everything that I see, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97605 Calimport is larger than Athkatla or Baldur's Gate. The houses are made of stone, built together in groups. Children run through the streets playing games. |
| 97606 You sound like you miss it. |
| 97607 I'd love to go there someday. |
| 97608 So a city, like any other. |
| 97609 Cities have their own irritants. |
| 97610 Wellâ€â€you, for one. |
| 97611 Sometimes. But then I look to you, and it doesn't bother me quite so much. |
| 97612 Perhaps someday, when this is all over, I could take you. |
| 97613 I would like that. |
| 97614 I think you'd like that. |
| 97615 I'd prefer to go on my own. |
| 97616 That is one way of looking at it, I suppose. |
| 97617 I would indeed. |
| 97618 I'm sorry to hear that. |
| 97619 You are a remarkable woman. You have no idea how glad I am to have you at my side. |
| 97620 You've done more for me than you will ever know. You have made me a better man. |
| 97621 Yes. Let's... |
| 97622 I just... wanted to tell you that. |
| 97623 That was beautiful, Rasaad. |
| 97624 Well... Thanks? |
| 97625 You are... full of surprises, Rasaad. |
| 97626 You are too kind. It is a pale reflection of the beauty that inspired it, but I meant every word. |
| 97627 You're... welcome. |
| 97628 Is this awkward? It feels awkward to me. |
| 97629 Well... Let's be about our business, then, shall we? |
| 97630 You are very kind, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97631 Very awkward. Perhaps it would be best toâ€â€pretend it never happened. |
| 97632 No, I don't want to do that. It was beautiful, I justâ€â€I'm not sure how to respond. |
| 97633 Yeah, I think that would be best. |
| 97634 When you figure it out, please let me know. Until that time, let us be about our business. |
| 97635 A life without surprises is a living death. |
| 97636 It really isn't. |
| 97637 Good morning, <CHARNAME>. You slept well, I trust? |
| 97638 Quite well. And you? |
| 97639 I didn't really sleep much, but... somehow, I don't mind. |
| 97640 Terribly. You kept pushing me off your roll in your sleep. |
| 97641 Well. Very well. |
| 97642 That is good to hear. |
| 97643 I am sorry. I'mâ€â€not used to sleeping with another. |
| 97644 Don't worry about it. |
| 97645 I could tell. |
| 97646 Have you ever slept with another? |
| 97647 I No. I never really wanted to, before now. |
| 97648 You aren't having second thoughts, I hope. |
| 97649 None at all. I'd like to do that again sometime. |
| 97650 I don't think so. What about you? |
| 97651 I... I'm sorry, Rasaad. It just wasn't what I expected. |
| 97652 Why would I? |
| 97653 I think that can be managed. |
| 97654 Not at all. I shall treasure the memory. |
| 97655 Oh. I see. It... it won't happen again. |
| 97656 I just wanted to make sure thatâ€â€you enjoyed yourself as much as I. |
| 97657 I did. Don't you worry about that. |
| 97658 It was fine. |
| 97659 I don't know about that. You seemed to enjoy yourself an awful lot. |
| 97660 We should get up before the others wake... Thank you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97661 It was my pleasure. I mean that. |
| 97662 Any time. |
| 97663 Mm. |
| 97664 Fine? That is all? |
| 97665 That's better than many. Trust me. |
| 97666 It'll get better, with a little practice. |
| 97667 It's good enough. |
| 97668 So we will... practice. That is good to know. |
| 97669 You didn't? |
| 97670 I had a good time. Don't worry about that. |
| 97671 I enjoyed myself well enough. I'll enjoy myself more once you've had some practice. |
| 97672 What, would you have me hold your hand and tell you it was the most glorious night of my life? It was a decent night. I've no complaints. Be happy with thatâ€â€or don't, I care not. |
| 97673 Iâ€â€I see. |
| 97674 Let us rise before the others wake. |
| 97675 For so long, I have wanted to lean in and kiss you, but held back. I can hardly believe I am now able to do this... |
| 97676 Mmm... |
| 97677 What do you think you're doing?! |
| 97678 Not right now. Later. |
| 97679 Is it not obvious? |
| 97680 Very. What isn't obvious is where you got the idea you could do that whenever you want. |
| 97681 I don't think so. |
| 97682 As... as you wish. |
| 97683 Forgive me, <CHARNAME>. I was inconsiderate. It won't happen again, I promise. |
| 97684 I fear I will wake up soon, and you will be leagues away, even though you slumber just a few feet from my bedroll. |
| 97685 If that's the case, make a point of not waking up. I like things just how they are. |
| 97686 Don't worry, Rasaad. I'm not going anywhere. |
| 97687 I will avoid it as best I can. I'd not see this dream end. |
| 97688 That is good. I would be lost without you. |
| 97689 <CHARNAME>. We need to talk. |
| 97690 Rasaad? What is it? |
| 97691 If this is about your shirt, I'm sorry. I'll have it mended as soon as I can. |
| 97692 Can it wait? |
| 97693 It's not about the shirt. |
| 97694 I wish it could. |
| 97695 These last few weeks together... It is as if Selûne herself heard my prayers and granted me my ultimate wish. |
| 97696 I don't think I like where this is headed. |
| 97697 So what's the problem? |
| 97698 That's sweet of you to say. |
| 97699 Please. Let me finish. This is hard enough as it is. |
| 97700 We have become close. Friends. More than that. I thought... perhaps that would be enough. Perhaps I could set aside my vengeance and stand by your side, steadfast and true. |
| 97701 But it cannot be. There is no future for me, not until Alorgoth lies dead. |
| 97702 Then we'll find him, and we'll kill him. It's simple. |
| 97703 What you're saying is that I'm not enough for you. |
| 97704 I think I understand. |
| 97705 I wish it were. |
| 97706 I want you to be. |
| 97707 But you are not. |
| 97708 Killing Alorgoth may cost me my life. In some ways, it already has. |
| 97709 My vengeance is all that matters to me. That isn't fair to you. |
| 97710 I understand. |
| 97711 I love you, Rasaad. We can get through this together, I promise you. |
| 97712 Then you have made your preference clear. |
| 97713 That is why this must end now. |
| 97714 No. I'll not do that to you. |
| 97715 I am sorry, <CHARNAME>-but we are done. Until Alorgoth is dead, this cannot be. It would destroy us both. |
| 97716 If you were truly sorry, Rasaad, you would not do this. |
| 97717 You selfish, arrogant man. How dare you? |
| 97718 I don't care. Please. Don't do this to me. Don't do this to us. |
| 97719 Then, if I must... I will wait. We will kill Alorgoth, and I will wait until it can be. |
| 97720 I am sorry, but this is what I must do. |
| 97721 I do this FOR us. For you. |
| 97722 And if I die? If it takes until the end of my days? |
| 97723 I will stay with you, <CHARNAME>, as a friend. A dear friend, and nothing more. |
| 97724 And if that isn't enough for me? |
| 97725 I'm sorry you feel that way. |
| 97726 No, you will not. Your heart might be made of ice, but mine is not. |
| 97727 I am sorry. |
| 97728 No more than I. |
| 97729 I deserve that. |
| 97730 These weeks have been some of the brightest of my life. Thank you. |
| 97731 I do not know what to say. What Irenicus did to you... |
| 97732 There is nothing to say, Rasaad. What happened, happened. |
| 97733 I know what he did to me. It's not something I care to discuss. |
| 97734 What he did to me will be repaid with blood. |
| 97735 Just know that I am here if you have need of me. |
| 97736 Does itâ€â€hurt? Can you feel its absence? |
| 97737 I feel little else. |
| 97738 Of course it hurts. I've lost my bloody soul. How do you think that feels? |
| 97739 It doesn't hurt. I just feel... tired. Drained. |
| 97740 I cannot imagine what this must be like. |
| 97741 I do not know. That's why I asked. |
| 97742 May Selûne's light guide us from this place, and quickly, that we can restore what has been taken from you. |
| 97743 The scribe tasked with writing names in the Scroll of Retribution is named Naiman Alore. I tricked him into erasing my name. |
| 97744 The scribe tasked with writing names in the Scroll of Retribution is named Naiman Alore. I... encouraged him to erase my name. |
| 97745 Dorn's bloody path Success! My and Dorn's names have been expunged from the Scroll of Retribution. Now to escape Lunia before its denizens realize who walks among them. |
| 97746 You look pale. Are you all right? |
| 97747 I'm just a little tired, that's all. |
| 97748 I look pale? Great. And just when I thought my skin was getting some color. |
| 97749 I'm all right. What about you? |
| 97750 You're still joking. That's a good sign. |
| 97751 Don't try to change the subject, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97752 I was wondering if you would meditate with me. Clearing my mind of distractions helps me when I am struggling. |
| 97753 I've never tried meditating before. |
| 97754 My mind will not be easily cleared, but I'm willing to give it a shot. How does it work? |
| 97755 Meditation is for monks. I'll not sit around gazing at my navel when there's work to be done. |
| 97756 You should. It will help you. |
| 97757 How does it work? |
| 97758 Ah, no. No, I don't think so. |
| 97759 I understand how it might seem that way, but there's more to it than that. As you're clearly uninterested, I'll say no more about it. |
| 97760 As you wish. |
| 97761 You take a deep breath, count to six. Breathe out for six counts. Breathe in, one, two, three, four, five, six. Breathe out, one, two, three, four, five, six. |
| 97762 It is a very simple exercise, but very relaxing. |
| 97763 You were moaning in your sleep again last night. |
| 97764 It's nothing. Don't worry about it. |
| 97765 Itâ€â€was a nightmare! Nothing to do with you shirtless. At all. Ahahaha. |
| 97766 I've been having dreams, nightmares, but... somehow they feel more than that. |
| 97767 I'm done talking with you. |
| 97768 It sounded like you were in pain. |
| 97769 I've been having nightmares. Bhaal's blood is growing restless. |
| 97770 I'm fine, Rasaad. Really. |
| 97771 I told you not to worry about it. So don't. |
| 97772 I'm fairly sure that wasn't the kind of dream you were having. |
| 97773 As you wish. But if there is anything I can do, please know you have but to ask. |
| 97774 Is there anything I can do? |
| 97775 Hmm... now that you mention it, a massage before we sleep might help... |
| 97776 Not really. But thank you for asking nonetheless. |
| 97777 Stop worrying. That's really all you can do for me. |
| 97778 Of course. I will do what I can to soothe your pain. |
| 97779 Of course. |
| 97780 If only it were that easy. |
| 97781 You seem weary, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97782 We're in the midst of a war. Forgive me if I look a little worn. |
| 97783 So do you. |
| 97784 What do you want? |
| 97785 I meant no offense, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97786 I'm sorry, Rasaad. I shouldn't snap at you. I AM tired. |
| 97787 What you meant is of little consequence. It's what you did that matters. |
| 97788 Just leave me alone. |
| 97789 I do not want to argue, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97790 I'm concerned about you. |
| 97791 Your concerns are no longer any concern of mine. |
| 97792 I'm fine. You've nothing to worry about. |
| 97793 And what about you? |
| 97794 We may not beâ€â€together, but that does not mean... |
| 97795 It doesn't mean I no longer care. |
| 97796 You are cruel, monk. |
| 97797 I know. I'm sorry. I'm okay, Rasaad. Really. |
| 97798 Then you'll just have to suffer in silence. |
| 97799 I hear you crying out in the night. The nightmares have returned, haven't they? |
| 97800 For something to return, it must first actually stop. |
| 97801 That's no concern of yours. |
| 97802 Leave me be before I say something I'll regret. |
| 97803 What about me? |
| 97804 You seem intent on killing yourself with the way you throw yourself into battle. |
| 97805 I'm not the only one having trouble sleeping. |
| 97806 Forget it. Just leave me be, Rasaad. |
| 97807 I just wanted to make sure you were all right. |
| 97808 I should not have said anything. |
| 97809 Very well. |
| 97810 You never told me. |
| 97811 What was I supposed to say, "Oh and by the way I'm still having horrifying nightmares about murdering people?" |
| 97812 Why would I? You've made it very clear you've your own burdens to bear. |
| 97813 No. I didn't. |
| 97814 Fair enough. |
| 97815 No more than you. |
| 97816 Then you admit you are having trouble. |
| 97817 You could have said something. |
| 97818 The nightmares. They've returned, haven't they? |
| 97819 For something to return, it must first actually stop. |
| 97820 They have. And worse than before. |
| 97821 That's no business of yours. |
| 97822 If I could help you, you know I would. |
| 97823 The only thing I want from you you refuse to give me. |
| 97824 I know. Thank you. I appreciate it. |
| 97825 Your sympathy means little to me at this point. |
| 97826 I am sorry, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97827 This is not easy for me, <CHARNAME>. I... |
| 97828 Remind me again why you wanted to visit the Hells, <CHARNAME>? |
| 97829 I know I told you to lighten up, Rasaad. I tell you now I was wrong. PLEASE stop trying to make jokes. |
| 97830 I know you're trying, Rasaad, but please don't. This is hard enough as it is. |
| 97831 Why do you continue to speak to me, monk? You've nothing to say I care to hear. |
| 97832 Humor continues to elude me. This is perhaps not the best time for it. |
| 97833 It is hard for both of us. |
| 97834 Please, just... listen. |
| 97835 Things are... strained between us. And that is my fault. |
| 97836 I wish things were simpler. I miss how things were on the Sword Coast. |
| 97837 Things are only as complicated as you insist on making them. |
| 97838 Things change, and life moves on. This is what we've got. |
| 97839 Deal with it. I have. |
| 97840 I know. Selûne forgive me, but I know, and I am awful to ask this of you, but I... I must. |
| 97841 Have patience with me, I beg you. Do not close yourself off to me. |
| 97842 I need your support. You are my anchor, <CHARNAME>. The pillar that holds me strong. |
| 97843 Without you, I am lost. |
| 97844 You know I'd do anything for you. |
| 97845 You were the one who closed that door. Not I. |
| 97846 You are a shadow of the man you once were. Whatever I once saw in you, it's gone now. |
| 97847 You owe me nothing, <CHARNAME>. I do not deny it. But... |
| 97848 For what it is worth... I am sorry. |
| 97849 I will not bother you again. |
| 97850 I am not strong enough, <CHARNAME>. Not strong enough without you. |
| 97851 Then be with me, you idiot. We can do this together. |
| 97852 What do you want from me? |
| 97853 You are pathetic. Begone. |
| 97854 And what if I die, or lose myself to vengeance? What then? |
| 97855 Do you think it would hurt me any less if we were not together? |
| 97856 Look at yourself, Rasaad. It's not like you can get MORE consumed with vengeance than you are already, can you? |
| 97857 Then I'd deal with it, as I've dealt with the other people I loved and lost. |
| 97858 I do not know. I know nothing, it seems. |
| 97859 Perhaps. |
| 97860 Justâ€â€stay with me awhile. We do not have to talk. |
| 97861 Please. |
| 97862 Whatever you need. |
| 97863 This once. But don't ask again until you've decided what's more important: me or your revenge. |
| 97864 You chose to be alone, Rasaad. Now you will deal with the consequences. |
| 97865 Thank you. |
| 97866 <CHARNAME>, I know I have not been at my best of late... |
| 97867 You've had a lot on your mind. |
| 97868 We've endured much these last weeks. |
| 97869 You're still trying to talk to me. Why are you doing that? |
| 97870 Wait. |
| 97871 Since we escaped the Plane of Shadow, something has weighed heavy on my mind. I can ignore it no longer. |
| 97872 You have stood by me through so much. Been there for me when no one else has. |
| 97873 Alorgoth has paid for his crimes, and still you are here. And I... |
| 97874 I have done you a terrible wrong. |
| 97875 I love you. I understand if you would not have me back, but if there is love left in your heart for me... will you be mine once more? |
| 97876 I never stopped being yours. Come here. |
| 97877 You had your chance, monk. And you blew it. |
| 97878 No. I'm sorry, Rasaad, but... no. I can't. |
| 97879 Selûne's light, you have no idea how happy you have made me. |
| 97880 I know. I've no one to blame but myself. |
| 97881 Thank you, <CHARNAME>, for everything. I will treasure the time we shared. |
| 97882 I am disappointed, but I cannot say I'm surprised. I've no one to blame but myself. |
| 97883 I love you. |
| 97884 I love you! |
| 97885 I could not sleep. |
| 97886 The destruction wrought by Yaga-Shura and his army is beyond comprehension. |
| 97887 I know what you mean. So many people, just... gone. |
| 97888 Will you be all right? |
| 97889 They were Bhaalspawn. One way or another, they were going to die. |
| 97890 Not all of them. And if you are any example, not all Bhaalspawn willingly accept their evil heritage. |
| 97891 I do not know. |
| 97892 I have been taught to seek the light in all things, but it is hard to find anything positive in such a tragedy. |
| 97893 At times like these, we must make our own light. |
| 97894 We live in a dark world. |
| 97895 Spare me your melodramatic proclamations. This is war. |
| 97896 And if we have no light left? |
| 97897 How can you say that? Innocent people died at the hands of a monster, and you say "this is war"? Are you truly so heartless? |
| 97898 Not heartless. Realistic. |
| 97899 This IS war, Rasaad. What other choice do I have? |
| 97900 Yes, it's awful. But there's little point in dwelling on it. |
| 97901 Perhaps you're right. |
| 97902 It would be inhuman not to consider it. |
| 97903 Could it be that Shar's doctrine holds some sliver of truth? Is everything ultimately doomed to ruin? Seeing Saradush... What was once a certainty is certain no longer. |
| 97904 Everything ends. That is life. |
| 97905 Saradush has fallen, but it will rise and thrive again. Life goes on. |
| 97906 Is this what you've come to, Rasaad? Shar's teachings are now worthy of consideration? |
| 97907 Everything ends, but it need not end so... forcefully. |
| 97908 Perhaps. Or perhaps it will fall into shadow, untouched by mortal hands until the land reclaims it. |
| 97909 I am no longer the ignorant boy who accepted everything he's told at face value. |
| 97910 This is not just a war for survival, is it? If the Bhaalspawn defeat us... death will come for more than a few hundred. Many more. |
| 97911 The destruction wrought upon Toril will be without end if the forces of light are defeated. |
| 97912 I'm not so selfish that I'd bring you into this just to ensure my own survival. |
| 97913 I'll settle for surviving. If we save the world while fighting for our lives, so be it. |
| 97914 Then we cannot let it happen. |
| 97915 I hadn't realized the scale of what you were attempting. |
| 97916 There are still times I cannot tell if you are serious or not, <CHARNAME>. |
| 97917 In truth, I had not realized the enormity of our quest. I see it now. |
| 97918 We MUST win. For the sake of all that is pure and good. |
| 97919 Each day, you are faced with decisions fraught with difficulty and danger. Yet you act without hesitation, always certain of your purpose. How do you manage it? |
| 97920 Act first, think later. If I can avoid thinking at all, so much the better. |
| 97921 Is that how it seems? It's good to know I've fooled someone into thinking I know what I'm doing. Now if I could just convince myself... |
| 97922 That would be telling. |
| 97923 That explains a great deal. |
| 97924 You make it look simple. It's... reassuring to know that's not the case. |
| 97925 I wish I had your confidence. |
| 97926 How can you be sure you are making the right choice? |
| 97927 I can't. I do the best I can and live with the consequences. |
| 97928 I am very wise. |
| 97929 Being the child of a god does tend to give one a certain confidence. |
| 97930 You are so quick to joke, but these are serious matters. |
| 97931 It seems to me the decisions we face are becoming more and more complex. |
| 97932 It's not just you. Things are getting harder. |
| 97933 I think we just understand more than we used to. |
| 97934 It's never been easy. |
| 97935 True. But we've more experience dealing with them. It evens out. |
| 97936 I once saw things as either good or bad, light or dark. |
| 97937 You're right about that. |
| 97938 I am glad that is the case for you. It is not so for me. |
| 97939 Now all I see is gray. |
| 97940 It is strange. One day, Gamaz and I agreed to join an expedition to determine the fate of our Amnian brethren. Years later, I hunt his murderer and aid the child of a dead god on their quest. |
| 97941 Sometimes I wonder what path I might have taken had we not met. |
| 97942 return to game |
| 97943 Life on the road is great, but it makes having friends harder. Before you came along, Telana and I were thick as thieves. Really fat thieves! |
| 97944 Do you know the proper meaning of "go fly a kite"? As I was saying… |
| 97945 No. Even when we're together, it's... different. |
| 97946 I do sometimes. But not as much as I'd have thought. |
| 97947 If I had to decide, I think I'm probably better at being on the road than I am at being a friend. I don't necessarily WANT it to be that way, but there you have it. |
| 97948 Aren't they? Maybe you're right. I mean, you're a friendâ€â€or at least friendly... |
| 97949 I've... never really had a lasting friendship. I've always driven my friends away. I'm pretty good at wandering about aimlessly, though. But hey, we're friends... |
| 97950 Yeah. Friendship, frequent baths, andâ€â€well, other things, too. |
| 97951 Anyway, the road calls. Off we go. |
| 97952 Right? |
| 97953 We're friends? Good! Glad to hear it, for the most part. I meanâ€â€yes, glad to hear it! |
| 97954 Yes! SOMETHING like that. Glad to hear it. |
| 97955 Fine! I knew you'd make a lousy Telana replacement. |
| 97956 Darn it! My last wild surge did something... odd to my dry rations. |
| 97957 Undried them. Look. The hardtack's a gooey mess, the apples look like they were just picked, and the fish isâ€â€oh! there he goes. Good luck finding a pond, little guy. I don't suppose you'd share some of your rations, would you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 97958 I don't think so. If it was hungry, they'd probably have just disappeared. Also: wild surges? Surprisingly small appetites. |
| 97959 Hardtack, hardtack! Always hardtack. Have you noticed no one ever offers to reward us with a nice dinner? |
| 97960 Unless they're a lot better than mine, I won't even be tempted. |
| 97961 Seriously? Okay. But don't be surprised when I faint during our next battle. Let's get goingâ€â€maybe I can scrape up some crumbs up ahead. |
| 97962 Thanks, <CHARNAME>... Wow! Not bad. You have really nice biscuits. Er... That sounded bad. Buns. No! Hard fruit. Ugh... |
| 97963 No, no, I'm stopping while I'm ahead. |
| 97964 It was an accident! I swear! |
| 97965 Oh wow, I'm suddenly very full! High time we got moving, don't you think?! |
| 97966 What a crowd. This place beats most of the inns back in Baldur's Gate. And let's not even TALK about the High Forest. There, an inn is considered busy if there's more than one raccoon in the attic. |
| 97967 Also, drinking! |
| 97968 Speaking of which, I sure am thirsty... |
| 97969 Exactly! Who doesn't love a dive? Drowning woes, downward spiralsâ€â€ha! It's all here! |
| 97970 I can already see you and your raccoon friends nodding grimly as you sip rainwater together and complain bitterly about the world. |
| 97971 Because for some reason the adventure club elected YOU treasurer when I wasn't looking. |
| 97972 Yes, please! |
| 97973 I'll have a Shadowdark ale. Get one for yourself while you're at it. |
| 97974 There's something I almost never hear. |
| 97975 Ah, that hits the spot. I could get used to this. Interesting people all around, music, an ale in my hand… |
| 97976 No one attacking us, no explosions, no crazy wizards (I don't count), no sudden deaths. Nope. This can't last. |
| 97977 Will it ever be? Oh, all right. I won't force it. |
| 97978 Like what, a library? An ancient tomb? No thanks. Let's just enjoy this for a bit. |
| 97979 What?! Whoa! What will people think? |
| 97980 Like I care what people think of me at this point. |
| 97981 Oh no! You just stepped in something, <CHARNAME>. Oh! This city needs to regulate dogs, not magic. |
| 97982 You get so touchy when you're embarrassed. It's cute. |
| 97983 I don't think so. You spill gallons of blood every day and you're squeamish about a little pile of digested meat? |
| 97984 Those important things won't stop you from smelling. |
| 97985 Luckily, I have some spare rags. Lift up your left boot. There, it'll just take a dab. Don't look at me, I'm not touching itâ€â€this is your duty. DUTY, get it? There! You cleaned it all up. Isn't that better? |
| 97986 Touchy! Let's move on, sourpuss. Just try and watch your step from now on. |
| 97987 Mortifying for you is fun for me. |
| 97988 Not having that stuff on your boot is reward enough. |
| 97989 Still, you were a good sport. Perhaps you do deserve something for all your hard work. |
| 97990 A kiss? I don't see any harm in it. |
| 97991 Oh, I don't know. You're familiar with what's in in my pockets, soâ€â€why not a kiss? |
| 97992 Fine! I would've had to hold my nose anyway. Let's get movingâ€â€watch your step! |
| 97993 Mm! *sigh* That was... nice, <CHARNAME>. I'd like to find that dog and thank it for helping make that happen. |
| 97994 Phew! I'm glad that's over. But it really wasn't THAT hard. I feel like fighting is becoming second nature to me, like breathing or a persistent craving for cheese. |
| 97995 I'm not sure what to think. Who doesn't like feeling powerful? But sometimes I worryâ€â€nah. Never mind. |
| 97996 I guess it is. Son of Bhaal and all that. But me? |
| 97997 Easy for you to say! Thanks for the vote of confidence. But honestly? |
| 97998 Ha! That's a good one. It seems like having you around MAKES me worry about things. |
| 97999 Is that so? Dismissive much? |
| 98000 The truth is that I'm beginning to see things more clearly. When you're a wild mage, you kind of open yourself up to chaos. You look into it. As I get more powerful, I see it better and better each time I look. |
| 98001 Whatever. Power is the ONLY thing to fear. Well, maybe not the only. Death and insanity are also pretty frightening. That chaos I see has both. |
| 98002 Well, yes. Clarity isn't all it's cracked up to be. When I look into that chaos, it's equal parts terror and ecstasyâ€â€and sometimes I can't tell them apart. |
| 98003 That's not a choice I can make. It's part of being a wild mage, and I'm not giving that up, am I? But looking into that chaos CAN be troubling. It's equal parts terror and ecstasyâ€â€and sometimes I can't tell them apart. |
| 98004 Okay, cheery thoughts! What's a good cheery thought?... Um, you smellâ€â€wow!â€â€you smell really good! |
| 98005 Not at all! Like I said, you smell really good... Okay, okay. I might be exaggerating a little bit. But go with it. Lean in and let me get a better whiff... |
| 98006 *sniff* Incense and... peppermint! Okay, not really. You actually smell more like oregano. Try to go with it, though. Lean in and let me get a better whiff... |
| 98007 Why not? Self-conscious about your scent? Embarrassed that it might do things to me? Don't worry. It's not having TOO much of an effect. Maybe lean in and let me get a better whiff… |
| 98008 ...Okay, enough smooching! We're lagging behind. |
| 98009 I feel really, really tired today. I hope I'm not getting ill. |
| 98010 You're right, it's probably nothing. But now that I have your attention, there's something I'd like to talk about. |
| 98011 Fine, forget it. I had a question, and you just answered it. |
| 98012 No, no. I'm just tired. I don't feel ill so much as... a little overwhelmed. |
| 98013 Yes. Let's. I had a question, but you just answered it. |
| 98014 That? No! Old hat. |
| 98015 I'm worried. About Telana and the others, about yourâ€â€issues, about |
| 98016 Oh yeah, when you put it that way, it's all so obvious. You think I LIKE being worried? Anyway, I'll make this short. |
| 98017 I'm worried about you and me. We're getting really close, and I've been having fun. WE'VE been having fun. You and meâ€â€we've had fun together. And soon, you know, we'll probably want to have even MORE fun. When that happensâ€â€if it happensâ€â€I'm not sure how much fun things will be after that. |
| 98018 I guess this is your way of telling me we should cool off, huh? *sigh* All right. |
| 98019 Forget I said anything. A great weight has been lifted; off we go! |
| 98020 I haven't a clue. I... tend to learn things best by experiencing them. |
| 98021 I guess so. |
| 98022 Soon. One of these nights. |
| 98023 You are? I'm... glad. Excited. |
| 98024 Not now, though. I wasn't lying about being tired, but… |
| 98025 Ha ha! So suave. |
| 98026 You look down, <CHARNAME>. |
| 98027 But being insufferably proud of yourself is a weakness you frequently indulge. I won't bother you, then. |
| 98028 I don't believe you. Your quest isn't getting any easier. |
| 98029 You look a little haggard. Cute! But haggard. |
| 98030 I can tell you a little story if you want. Something to lift your spirits a bit. |
| 98031 Did you mean for that to rhyme? You're so clever. The offer still stands, though. I might surprise you. |
| 98032 It doesn't have to be right this second. Are you sure? |
| 98033 All right. I guess we'll justâ€â€walk on in silence, then. |
| 98034 Great. I have to look over my notes. I'll get back to you in a bitâ€â€tomorrow, maybe. |
| 98035 Of course! Don't worry. It's not that long. Really. |
| 98036 Are you ready for your uplifting story? |
| 98037 All right. Once upon a time, there was a mysterious, handsome orphan. He traveled all around the countryside, caring for those who needed care, killing those who needed killing, and helping many people find objects that would've otherwise been lost forever. |
| 98038 I've hardly started! Are you sure? |
| 98039 Let's get moving, then. |
| 98040 During his travels, he met a beautiful half-elven lady who captivated him with her quick wit and general usefulness. He also met a cast of secondary characters I won't bore you with. |
| 98041 He did a lot of killing. Kobolds, xvarts, ogres, wyverns. You name it, he's killed it. Then he was kidnapped. He escaped by killing a lot more things, and made money to save his sister killing even MORE things. Oh! He also killed his half-brother and his friendsâ€â€but he had to; they were trying to kill him. That happened before the kidnapping, by the way. |
| 98042 Through it all, he was always himself. Some worried he would become a slave to the divine essence of the dead god within him, the god of... well, killing things. But his, uh, actions… and, uh, decisions... proved that... |
| 98043 Oh, Hells. I didn't think through the ending very well. |
| 98044 You did? THAT can't be good. |
| 98045 I don't usually take unsolicited advice, but I might make an exception, just this once. |
| 98046 I just made things like a million times worse, didn't I? |
| 98047 We should be on our way. If the whole wild mage thing doesn't work out, I'll make it a point not to pursue the calling of inspirational bard. |
| 98048 Hmm. Perhaps you're right. |
| 98049 Red Wizards chased me around, and I was banished because of my wild surges. Sure, wild magic can be dangerous. But look at this. Saradush, an entire city, destroyed. Why aren't generals hounded like wild mages? |
| 98050 So can wild mages. I'm a very JUST wild mage, if you hadn't noticed. |
| 98051 Hmm. It's hard making sense of something you really don't want to make sense of, isn't it? |
| 98052 I know that! It wasn't an entirely serious question. |
| 98053 Anyway, I'm curious. What was it like for you, seeing all that death and destruction? You've seen plenty before, I knowâ€â€we both have. But the scale of thisâ€â€and the fact that your bloodâ€â€or what's in itâ€â€caused it all... |
| 98054 I was afraid you might say something like that. If that's true, <CHARNAME>, I'm not sure what we have will last much longer. |
| 98055 I'm not angry, just... sad, I guess. Whatever's inside of you is taking over. I get the power thing. Really! I know the rush, what it feels like to want more. But what makes you feel that wayâ€â€all that deathâ€â€it's not something I want to be close to. |
| 98056 I'll see you to your journey's end. But I won't be what I was to you before. |
| 98057 That's good to hear. You've gotten so powerful, <CHARNAME>... When I saw Saradush, I felt like I was seeing your future. I've told you what it's like to see into chaos, haven't I? How a wild surge is like terror and ecstasy rolled into one? |
| 98058 Well, I did! I'd think that divine essence would make you a better listenerâ€â€that's what gods do, right? Listen to their followers? |
| 98059 Anyway, the scary part is that when I'm in the grip of a surge, I can't distinguish between the fear and the joy. When I saw your future in Saradush, it felt like thatâ€â€except I had no trouble distinguishing the terror. That's all there was. |
| 98060 That's good to hear. Really good to hear. |
| 98061 That's easy to say. Not so easy to do. |
| 98062 Let's get moving; there's better things to do than stand around dooming and glooming. |
| 98063 Something on your mind, <CHARNAME>? You seem nervous, or anxious, orâ€â€well, maybe it's just me. |
| 98064 What? What's that supposed to mean? |
| 98065 Forget it, then. Forget THIS. |
| 98066 Oh? Me too. A lot. I find you kind of irresistible. KIND of. |
| 98067 I suppose I do. What I brought up earlierâ€â€you, me, birds, beesâ€â€well, it's been on my mind. A lot. I find you kind of irresistible. KIND of. |
| 98068 So I'm curious. How do you feel? |
| 98069 I want this to happen, too. So much. |
| 98070 Good. I'll wait up for you. I'm sure I'm blushing. I KNOW you are. |
| 98071 Next step? I didn't know we were on a staircaseâ€â€are we going up or down, I wonder? Anyway |
| 98072 What do you mean, "our" best interest? You say that like you have some claim to who I am, to what I want. It's not in your best interest? Fine, say so. Just don't include me. |
| 98073 I understand, and I'm sorry I was so short with you. This is just... awkward, you know? It's just so hard to figure things out with you, and I thoughtâ€â€well, I thought a little such-and-such might help. Plus, I really wanted to. No hard feelings? |
| 98074 Really? Then it's over between us. Don't worry, I won't cry. This conversation just makes me realize how different we really are, how impossible it would be for anything between us toâ€â€come to anything. |
| 98075 But I'm not gonna be your groupie, "hero." Farewell. |
| 98076 Let's get moving. If there's one thing I KNOW you're good for, it's awkward, distracting conversations. |
| 98077 Ha ha! You rat. |
| 98078 Nothing's certain, is it? |
| 98079 I don't think you know the proper meaning of the phrase "thick as thieves." |
| 98080 You aren't so close now? |
| 98081 You miss her, I take it. |
| 98082 I don't think friendship and adventuring are mutually exclusive, Neera. |
| 98083 Why do you feel that way? |
| 98084 Friendship is a sacrifice adventurers have to make. |
| 98085 Yes, of course! |
| 98086 Am I your friend? I like to think I'm... something like that. |
| 98087 No, Neera. We are companions. Friendship will come later, if at all. |
| 98088 What did it do? |
| 98089 Perhaps it was hungry? |
| 98090 Of course, Neera. Here you areâ€â€beef strips and more hardtack. |
| 98091 Sure, but don't eat all of them. |
| 98092 Buy some yourself next time we're in town. |
| 98093 I like this list. Keep going with it. |
| 98094 Ha ha! You're very sly. |
| 98095 Don't be silly, Neera. |
| 98096 It's a good place to rest between adventuresâ€â€and for starting some. |
| 98097 It's a bit of a dive. |
| 98098 I'd rather camp with raccoons than stay here. |
| 98099 Would you like a drink? |
| 98100 Subtle. |
| 98101 Why not get a drink, then? |
| 98102 Very well. Try not to burn the place down while I'm gone. |
| 98103 Your generosity knows no bounds. I'll be back in a moment... |
| 98104 Not now. It's not time to relax. |
| 98105 My hand in your other hand… |
| 98106 I agree. This is nice. I could get used to it, too. |
| 98107 Wouldn't you prefer someplace... quieter? |
| 98108 Let's enjoy it while we can. |
| 98109 I'll take care of it when we rest. We have more important things to worry about. |
| 98110 Ack! Help me clean it up. |
| 98111 Don't you have anything better to do than watch where I'm walking?! |
| 98112 I don't know about "better." Mortifying, certainly. |
| 98113 I hope I get a reward for this. |
| 98114 Leave me be! |
| 98115 Something from your lips? |
| 98116 What did you have in mind? |
| 98117 Then I will. |
| 98118 Not right now, Neera. |
| 98119 I can kiss you? |
| 98120 Not right now, Neera. |
| 98121 How do you feel about that? |
| 98122 It IS second nature to me, you know. |
| 98123 Perhaps, but you're still you. Don't worry about it. |
| 98124 Go ahead, I'm listening. |
| 98125 So be it. I don't think you should be concerned. |
| 98126 You don't have to worry about anything with me around. |
| 98127 That sounds very troubling. Perhaps you should look away. |
| 98128 And that worries you? |
| 98129 Power is nothing to fear; do not look away from it. |
| 98130 Impossible! I'm sure I smell like battle. |
| 98131 Oh, really? Like what? |
| 98132 No, Neera. Don't change the subject so fast. |
| 98133 You should have said so earlier. Let's take a break. |
| 98134 Anything I can do to help? |
| 98135 You'll be fine. Let's keep moving. |
| 98136 Go on. |
| 98137 Whatever it is can wait. We need to keep moving. |
| 98138 Must be the constant danger and excitement. |
| 98139 What things do you mean? |
| 98140 Then let's keep moving. |
| 98141 Yes? |
| 98142 Us. You're worried about us. |
| 98143 Don't worry, then. |
| 98144 I think I follow you. What should we do? |
| 98145 Only one way to find out. |
| 98146 Don't be troubled, Neera. We won't be having that kind of fun. |
| 98147 I'm ready whenever you are. |
| 98148 Me too! |
| 98149 I don't think we should. Perhaps later, after all this is over. But not now. |
| 98150 Do I? I'm fine, really. |
| 98151 The challenges I face just keep getting more difficult, it seems. It's wearing me out. |
| 98152 Sadness is a weakness I don't indulge. |
| 98153 Go ahead. What were you going to say? |
| 98154 Good. Let's get moving. |
| 98155 A story? A story?! That's my territory. I'm the bard, remember? |
| 98156 You're welcome to try. |
| 98157 I'm trying really hard to hide my skepticism. |
| 98158 We don't have time for stories right now, Neera. |
| 98159 Anything's possible. |
| 98160 Sure... I'm trying really hard to hide my skepticism. |
| 98161 I don't think we have time for stories right now. |
| 98162 You'll tell me later? Fine. |
| 98163 I'm positive. |
| 98164 Notes?! |
| 98165 Very well. I'll do my best to get by until you're ready. |
| 98166 Very well. I'll do my best to get by until you're ready. |
| 98167 Yes. |
| 98168 Not quite yet. Why don't you wait until tomorrow? |
| 98169 Actually, I've reconsidered. I'd rather not hear this story of yours. |
| 98170 This orphan doesn't sound very mysterious. But keep going. |
| 98171 Go on. |
| 98172 Enough. |
| 98173 Fine, tell me the whole story. |
| 98174 Yes, I'm sure. |
| 98175 It's good that the others are out of earshot. Keep going. |
| 98176 Go on. |
| 98177 I've heard enough. |
| 98178 Is the uplifting part next? |
| 98179 I've heard enough. |
| 98180 I appreciate the effort, Neera. |
| 98181 Perhaps you should stick to wild surges. |
| 98182 I thought the ending was... quite appropriate. |
| 98183 Noâ€â€an honest story can't ever make things worse than they really are. |
| 98184 Don't worry yourself about it. |
| 98185 Wars can be just, Neera. |
| 98186 There's little use trying to make sense of war. |
| 98187 Generals aren't usually the only ones behind wars. |
| 98188 I saw nothing but what you saw, Neera. Please believe I want nothing to do with it. |
| 98189 I did feel something within me answering to the destruction, but the horror I felt was stronger. |
| 98190 In truth? It filled me with a sense of power. I didn't dislike it. I look forward to feeling it again. |
| 98191 What? What are you saying? |
| 98192 So be it, Neera. |
| 98193 Yes, you did. |
| 98194 I don't recall. |
| 98195 Shhh. What you saw wasn't real. I am here, and I am me; nothing will change that. |
| 98196 That future is not yet certain, Neera. Do not let what may not come to pass trouble you. |
| 98197 Then you should know something, Neera: That terror is indeed my birthright, and I look forward to claiming it. |
| 98198 I've been thinking about what you said earlier, Neera. |
| 98199 No, nothing in particular. Did you want to say something, though? |
| 98200 I think it's just you. Isn't it always? |
| 98201 I'm ready to take that next step. |
| 98202 I find you kind of irresistible too, and I feel like we should stop kind of resisting. |
| 98203 I think we really shouldn't do this. I care about you so much; it's just not in our best interest. |
| 98204 Then I'll come to you the next time we rest. |
| 98205 Wait, Neera. Are you certain? |
| 98206 Neera, I'm sorry. I just want to do what's right. I didn't mean to say that I knew what was right for you. |
| 98207 All right, forget I said that. I do want this to happen. |
| 98208 You're not giving me any reason to regret what I just said. None at all. |
| 98209 No, Neera. |
| 98210 Well, none that I feel like I should mention at the moment. |
| 98211 Listen, Neera. I think we should break this off. |
| 98212 True enough. I'll come to you next time we rest. |
| 98213 Actually, I'm rethinking this. Is it really in our best interest to do this right now? |
| 98214 <CHARNAME>, we must clear our names from that cursed scroll! These planetars will continue to appear until we do so. We must go through the portal. |
| 98215 I cannot believe you would take this monster into your bed. We are through, <CHARNAME>. |
| 98216 You dare speak to me thus? The only thing you'll call me is your killer! |
| 98217 "A woman trapped hundreds of years, Awake and aware with mind's eyes and ears, The darkness her friend Till the bitter end, An end she no longer fears." |
| 98218 I've heard worse poetry in my time. |
| 98219 Tee-hee hee! |
| 98220 You always take me to such interesting places. |
| 98221 It's over, Irenicus. Accept your fate with graceâ€â€or don't. It matters little enough, in the end. |
| 98222 Shut your mouth, <CHARNAME>. |
| 98223 I'll not hear platitudes and rationalizations, not now, not after we've been through so much together. |
| 98224 You need to be whole once again. I'd be a hypocrite to try and stand in your way, and worse than that if I didn't try to help you. |
| 98225 I will see you made whole, whatever the cost. Let us do this, now. |
| 98226 Hexxat the vampire has stood with you since you rescued her from Dragomir's Tomb, but her motives are her own. Will she stand with you now? |
| 98227 I know your loss too well, <CHARNAME>. And for what it's worth, the only life I plan to see lost this day is Irenicus's. |
| 98228 It is good to see your humor is unaffected by your loss, <CHARNAME>. Fear not. I'd hardly sully this body with your miserable excuse of a soul. |
| 98229 Shall we stand around trading more barbs, or go do this thing? |
| 98230 You know I must regain my soul, Hexxat. That's no reason for you to sacrifice your life. |
| 98231 So Hexxatâ€â€I'm going to get my soul back. You're welcome to come, but just so we're clear: It's MY soul. I don't want you trying to walk away with it. |
| 98232 I wouldn't see you die on my account, Hexxat. Leave now, while you're still able. |
| 98233 The mage is dead. That's not nothing, but it's only tangentially related to what we truly sought here. <CHARNAME>? How do you feel? |
| 98234 You're a liar or a fool, Bodhi. You knew <CHARNAME> would come for you. If you didn't do everything in your power to keep <PRO_HIMHER> from reaching you, you deserve what you're about to get. |
| 98235 Perhaps, after she rescued Hexxat from a vampire's tomb, it was inevitable that <CHARNAME> and the vampire would become more than allies or friends. Together, they travel the world, a life in shadows brightened by the other's presence. Their adventures will continue for a long time to come. |
| 98236 A happy ending to satisfy your readers. I hope the truth matches the tale. |
| 98237 Rescued from a vampire's tomb by <CHARNAME>, Hexxat takes full advantage of her newfound freedom. She explores the world from end to end, finding danger and adventure wherever she goes. |
| 98238 I can think of worse fates. Though I think you overstate the danger I shall faceâ€â€at least, I hope you do. |
| 98239 If you wish, I can tell you something of your place in the future. A mere 10 gp, should you desire the benefit of my gift of insight. |
| 98240 I've known many who offered insight, but few who offer it for so little. I never could resist a bargain. |
| 98241 Come sit beside me, and take my hand. Close your eyes and let Kveroslava feel your aura... |
| 98242 Your hand is cold... I think you have lost much in your time. You gained much recently as well, but that just makes the losses all the more acute. |
| 98243 What you seek you will find, but be wary. You will get what you bargain for, nothing more or less, and what you bargain for may be less than you realize. |
| 98244 I'll take your words for what they're worth. |
| 98245 My friend is still in the hands of my enemy. |
| 98246 Something your enemy will soon come to regret, I think. |
| 98247 I've a weakness for dusky skin, darling. Chult is a hot place, and its daughters carry that heat in their veins. |
| 98248 They really don't. I certainly don't. |
| 98249 Do not deny your passion, my exotic flower |
| 98250 It's your passion I'm denying. |
| 98251 â€â€we are meant to be together as one, our limbs intertwined, our sweating bodies pressed close to one another... |
| 98252 Your blood, pouring down my throat... |
| 98253 Now you're talk Wait, did you say blood? |
| 98254 You are right, Salvanas. This was meant to be. I would drink you dry and feel your heat inside of me. |
| 98255 You speak metaphorically, of course |
| 98256 Of course. Let me show you the metaphorical fangs I'd use to pierce your throat. |
| 98257 And I would be a metaphorical delicacy for you, I am sure. But such an action could... kill the mood. |
| 98258 I can kill much more than that. Would you like to see? |
| 98259 Er, no. No, I don't think so. Excuse me, madam. |
| 98260 <CHARNAME>? Are you all right? Do you need some time to rest? |
| 98261 You think you'll get to rest when you're dead, <CHARNAME>? I don't know who put that idea in your head, but I'd not put too much stock in it if I were you. |
| 98262 I know the feeling well enoughâ€â€the thirst can become overwhelming sometimes. These are things we must endure, as best we can. |
| 98263 Your tone is far from reassuring, <CHARNAME>. But I'll do as you ask. |
| 98264 Don't worry about me. I'm fine. |
| 98265 Something's wrong. I don't feelâ€â€right. It's likeâ€â€I'm losing control. |
| 98266 I'll rest when I'm dead. Or possibly when all my enemies are dead. Whichever comes first. |
| 98267 That was an... impressive display. If you should see fit to repeat the performance, <CHARNAME>, a little more warning would be appreciated. |
| 98268 <CHARNAME>, what is it? |
| 98269 I don't understand. What are you trying to say? <CHARNAME>? <CHARNAME>...? |
| 98270 Stay away from me, Hexxat. Something's wrong. |
| 98271 I'm losing control again. Get back, quickly, before I do something we'll regret! |
| 98272 Nothing good. Get away from me. |
| 98273 Tell me, <CHARNAME>. What part of "a little more warning would be appreciated" did you fail to understand? |
| 98274 You choose a fine time to start worrying about endangering me, <CHARNAME>. I'll not leave youâ€â€not yet. Our business is not yet done. |
| 98275 That is not something I want to get used to. Let's just move on. |
| 98276 I cannot control myself any longer, Hexxat. I should goâ€â€it's not safe for you to be around me. |
| 98277 I tried to say something, but I couldn't speak. I'm sorry. You should leave now, before I endanger you again. |
| 98278 If you walk with the Bhaalspawn, you'd best get used to the Slayer. |
| 98279 Enjoy yourself, did you? |
| 98280 Indeed we are. |
| 98281 I hope you learned something useful in the drow's bedchamber. |
| 98282 You flatter yourself. |
| 98283 I hope things will be more enjoyable for you whenâ€â€IF we do what we "must." |
| 98284 This is neither the time nor the place. More's the pity. |
| 98285 One's choice of partner also helps. |
| 98286 An unfortunate attitude, but hardly a surprising one at this point. |
| 98287 We shall see. |
| 98288 Not on my account. People like us must grab whatever pleasure we can when it presents itself. |
| 98289 If you do something worthy of praise, I'll be the first to celebrate it. |
| 98290 You should. |
| 98291 It WOULD get you where you want to go faster. |
| 98292 Ubtao help you, <CHARNAME>! You'll have to do a LITTLE better than that. |
| 98293 I've had worse times. I've a feeling I'm about to have one right now. |
| 98294 It was awkward, clumsy, and unpleasant. But we do what we must. |
| 98295 And if I did? I thought you and I were on the same page when it came to this sort of thing. |
| 98296 Thoroughly. |
| 98297 Phaere found a good student in meâ€â€at least, I'd like to think she did. |
| 98298 I could teach you a thing or two. |
| 98299 Nothing I didn't know before, but practice makes perfect. |
| 98300 Perhaps you'd rather I flatter you? |
| 98301 Well, someone's got to, and I don't see anyone else volunteering. |
| 98302 You think so? Give me a chance to prove myself. |
| 98303 I look forward to finding out. |
| 98304 Let's find out! |
| 98305 No, it's when. It's definitely when. |
| 98306 Is that an offer? |
| 98307 We should practice together sometime. Like right now. |
| 98308 I prefer to do this sort of thing alone. It's the best way to ensure all involved parties are satisfied. |
| 98309 I'm glad to hear it. |
| 98310 I could do something praiseworthy right now, if you're up for it. |
| 98311 You'll be second, actually. |
| 98312 You are very beautiful, Hexxat. |
| 98313 Slow and steady wins the race. |
| 98314 Don't presume to know where I seek to go, vampire. |
| 98315 Take your vampire friend, for instance. What was she before she was turned? What brought her to the cold embrace of undeath? |
| 98316 That is no business of yours. |
| 98317 Even cold and dead, there is a... spark within you, Hexxat. Were you mortal, I would embrace you myself. |
| 98318 A pity I am not mortal thenâ€â€for you. |
| 98319 It is. Destroy them. |
| 98320 So this is what it comes down to. All the dangers you faced, all the sacrifices you made, all for this. |
| 98321 I can think of worse gods than you, <CHARNAME>. But I ask youâ€â€are you truly comfortable with the idea of becoming <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder? |
| 98322 Your disposition makes you well suited to be the god of murder, if that is what you truly desire. |
| 98323 I am no longer mortal. I did not seek to become what I am. I had no choice in the matter. You do. |
| 98324 Before you make it, ask yourself, "Is this truly what I want to be?" The blood of Bhaal runs through your veins, but your destiny is your own. There will be no turning back from the choice you make now, so choose wisely. |
| 98325 So this is what it comes down to. All the dangers you faced, all the sacrifices you made, all for this. |
| 98326 I've enjoyed our time together, <CHARNAME>. More than thatâ€â€I cherished it. In your arms, I felt I could endure all that I had lost. |
| 98327 I am selfish, I admit it. But I'm not so selfish that I would take from you that which I fought so hard to attainâ€â€a choice. Cast aside mortality and seize your destiny, if that is your wish. If it is, I hope the new Lady of Murder will not forget what we once had, and look favorably upon me. |
| 98328 But know also that if you choose to continue to walk the Prime, you will have me at your side until the very end. Loyalty and loveâ€â€these were nothing but abstractions to me... until I met you. |
| 98329 Now, choose. |
| 98330 Can I help you, Aerie? |
| 98331 What? No! No. |
| 98332 Forgive me. You look like you've something on your mind. Something you'd like to say to me, perhaps? |
| 98333 Say to you? I No. No. Sorry. |
| 98334 For what? |
| 98335 For I'm sorry? |
| 98336 What are you apologizing for? You've done nothing wrong. |
| 98337 I don't know Iâ€â€I just... |
| 98338 Feel sorry. |
| 98339 Yes. I guess. |
| 98340 You're my friend, Aerie. I don't want you to be sorry. I want you to be happy. |
| 98341 You think we're friends? |
| 98342 Aren't we? |
| 98343 No I Maybe? Noâ€â€you're a vampire. |
| 98344 There's not much I can do about that. |
| 98345 Yes, butâ€â€I can't talk to you about this. |
| 98346 That's a shameâ€â€I'm better qualified to talk about it than most. I see I'm making you nervousâ€â€now I'm the one who must apologize. |
| 98347 No, don't I mean |
| 98348 I'll go now. If you stop being sorry and want to talk to me aboutâ€â€anything, reallyâ€â€by all means, let me know. |
| 98349 Thank you? |
| 98350 I'd be happy to show you more later today... |
| 98351 Mmm... I'll take that as a promise. |
| 98352 I love you... |
| 98353 The spell fizzles and Hexxat reverts to her mist form. It appears you will have to wait for her to regenerate in her casket. |
| 98354 "A man comes to a fork in his path With no companions at all, save his wrath. Will his enemy fall, Or will he lose all? You can't wash your hands in a bloodbath." |
| 98355 You'll see, you'll see, tee-hee hee! |
| 98356 What is this bloodbath you speak of? |
| 98357 A monk whose path was once made clear by Selûne's light, now you no longer know your way. You are heading to a darker place than any you have knownâ€â€letting your vengeance go is the only thing that will stop the shadows from consuming you. |
| 98358 A grim prediction, but one that may well prove accurate. I shall consider your words carefully, Kveroslava. |
| 98359 Though <CHARNAME> continues to stand stoically at his side, Rasaad has only one true lover, and that is vengeance. The sacrifices he will make to avenge his brother will be the stuff of legend. |
| 98360 With the desire for revenge his only company, the monk Rasaad finds himself without a guiding light. Avenging Gamaz will leave him bereft, forever alone in a darkness that will consume his very soul. |
| 98361 A singularly unique bear, Wilson's exploits could fill a dozen volumes and still leave hundreds of tales untold. A legend in the making, his adventures will inspire generations of children to enthusiastically run within claw range of less cultured ursines. |
| 98362 Any sacrifice is worth it to avenge Gamaz. |
| 98363 I will do what I must. Whatever becomes of me, I have no regrets. |
| 98364 Grornk? Snuffsnuffsnuff. |
| 98365 There is no place you could hide, Bodhi. Your fate is sealed. |
| 98366 Where is this I have been brought now? An ill-starred place, there can be no doubting it. We should leave here, <CHARNAME>â€â€at the earliest opportunity. |
| 98367 We will see, Irenicusâ€â€though you'll soon wish you had not! |
| 98368 Rasaad... |
| 98369 The monk Rasaad has faced his demons with you at his side, and in doing so his fate has become entwined with your own. He has proven his devotion to you beyond any doubt, yet in this moment your heart is full of nothing but doubts. |
| 98370 This is no time for words, <CHARNAME>, but I will speak nonetheless. |
| 98371 I would be dead now were it not for you. No, worseâ€â€I would be lost. You have given me direction and purpose where the gods and fate offered nothing but darkness and confusion. |
| 98372 To say I love you is to state the obvious, but as you know, stating the obvious is a habit of mine. And I do, I do love you, in a way I never imagined possible. |
| 98373 I will see you made whole, one way or another. I will see that which has been stolen returned, or die in the attempt. And I will do so happily, because I do it for you. |
| 98374 The monk, Rasaad, is haunted by more demons than any man should have to endure. Will he help you face yours? |
| 98375 Rasaad... You know I have to do this. You don't. |
| 98376 What do you say, Rasaad? Ready to charge in where solars fear to tread? |
| 98377 Well, monk? Your uncertainty has practically been your defining characteristic of late, but I cannot afford uncertainty now. Will you stand beside me? |
| 98378 Even now, I'm not sure when you are joking, <CHARNAME>. I hope you are nowâ€â€at this point, you should have no doubts that I will support you in this. |
| 98379 Wilson the Bear has proven himself a good friend and a worthy ally countless times. Any question of his loyalty is quickly dispelled by one definitive snort. |
| 98380 SNORT! |
| 98381 Irenicus has finally paid the price for his crimes. You have won, <CHARNAME>. How do you feel? |
| 98382 Do you need to rest, <CHARNAME>? |
| 98383 In all my years, I've never seen suchâ€â€such evil. <CHARNAME>, tell me you are yourself once more, I beg you. |
| 98384 In the Selûnite sect, I learned of Bhaal and his various incarnations. That was the Slayerâ€â€you became a dead god's avatar. How is this thing possible? |
| 98385 Are you all right? You're trembling. |
| 98386 What is that, <CHARNAME>? Your lips move, but you say nothingâ€â€<CHARNAME>? What's Selûne's light, what's happening? |
| 98387 Selûne's light shine upon you, <CHARNAME>. A monster stirs within you. |
| 98388 How is this possible? And what can be done to stop it? |
| 98389 We'll find the answer... together. |
| 98390 A terrifying prospect. Let's not speak of it till we learn more of the creature's provenance. |
| 98391 I'll be all right. Come on. |
| 98392 Desperately, but I don't think I'll be able to while we're still in this hellhole. |
| 98393 Keep walking, monk. |
| 98394 Get back, Rasaad! I don't know if I can save you from what is coming... |
| 98395 You would be too, in my boots. Get away from me, quickly! |
| 98396 Back away, monk! If you value your miserable life, get as far from me as you can! |
| 98397 I don't know. |
| 98398 You say that like you expect me to have an answer. |
| 98399 In truth, I do not know if I WANT it to stop. |
| 98400 "With no warning, a magical surging, It comes regardless of urging. Friends are burnt, Yet lessons go unlearnt; A new Neera will soon be emerging." |
| 98401 A new Neera? Better than being an old and decrepit Neera, I suppose. But what do you mean about lessons unlearned? |
| 98402 Cowled Wizards are nearly as bad as Red ones, <CHARNAME>. You can't go along with this. |
| 98403 You're seriously considering this? I tell you they can't be trusted! |
| 98404 I know what it's like to have wizards wanting to claim your body for their own. We've got to stop the Cowled Wizards from doing anything to Valygar. |
| 98405 You can't do this, <CHARNAME>. It's not right. It'sâ€â€it's WRONG. |
| 98406 Hey! You there! Pinky! |
| 98407 Seemed appropriate. C'mere. You see this sphere here? Nice, eh? 500 gold pieces and it's yours. |
| 98408 C'mon, Pinky, don't be like that. I'll give you the sphere for 400 gold because you've got great hair. |
| 98409 I do, I do. And you know what I'd like even more? To put this sphere into the hands of someone with hair as great as yours. 350 gold. What do you say? |
| 98410 Are you calling me Pinky? |
| 98411 Give me 500 gold pieces and I'll forget you called me Pinky. |
| 98412 You really like my hair? |
| 98413 I say thanks for the compliment. Good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 98414 Who is this that approaches me? No, not who, what? Is it one of that most vile of races, the elf? |
| 98415 A half-breed. Disgusting. |
| 98416 Go, creature. Get thee gone from my sight! |
| 98417 I'm a half-that most vile of races. |
| 98418 Well, you'd certainly know. |
| 98419 I'll do that, because I suspect it's the only way to get thee gone from my hearing. |
| 98420 What sweet treat do we have here, then? |
| 98421 What else could there be, dearest one? My eyes are blind to all but you. Your fiery eyes, your full red lips, your... unique hair. I am entranced. |
| 98422 Isn't it obvious? I cannot tear my eyes away. |
| 98423 I really hope you're talking about... anything other than me. |
| 98424 My hair entrances you? |
| 98425 I guess there are worse things to have scuzzy guys staring at. But keep your hands to yourself, pal! |
| 98426 You feel the weight of the world upon your shoulders, but you must not. All those you would protect chose their own pathâ€â€you must not regret where that path takes them. It is not your fault. |
| 98427 Okayyyy... Thanks for deeply creeping me out? I guess? |
| 98428 As wild as her own magic, the half-elf Neera's relationship with <CHARNAME> cannot help but be a stormy oneâ€â€though ultimately it will prove satisfying for both them and my readers. |
| 98429 The story doesn't end there, though. You and <CHARNAME> have many enemies and many adventures ahead of you. |
| 98430 With a spirit as wild as her own magic, the half-elf Neera strikes out on her own. Her troubles with the Red Wizards of Thay have barely even begun. |
| 98431 Wizards have a long memory, my dear. They'll not forget you soon. |
| 98432 Sounds like a happy ending to me. I'll take it. |
| 98433 The beginning? No, no, no. I'm done with Thay. Dee oh en ee DONE. |
| 98434 So what, you want us to thank you, is that it? |
| 98435 Oh, dung nuggets! What is this now? |
| 98436 Enough with the blah blah blah. Let's SEE already. |
| 98437 Neera... I... |
| 98438 At a loss for words, <CHARNAME>? That isn't like you. |
| 98439 But I'm glad. I've something I want to say to you. |
| 98440 We both know what's coming next. We both know one of us might not make it out alive. |
| 98441 I want I need you to know that, if it comes to that... I hope you're the one who doesn't make it. |
| 98442 Joking! I'm joking! |
| 98443 Look, let's justâ€â€let's just do this all right? Together. With no regrets. |
| 98444 Let's get your soul back, and then we'll go from there. Okay? |
| 98445 You have seen Neera grow from a free-spirited girl to a mature young woman. Your mutual affection has grown to become something more to each of you. Your eyes meet, and her expression grows pensive. She knows what you are about to say. |
| 98446 You have seen Neera grow from a free-spirited girl to a mature young woman. She has dealt with much; is she prepared to stand by your side one final time? |
| 98447 You're wrong about that, <CHARNAME>. I need to do this, and I'm going to do it. |
| 98448 Well, it's a little late to tell me not to get involved in fights that aren't mine NOW, <CHARNAME>. Where were you, like, a year ago? |
| 98449 Oh no. I don't want this, not at all. Not even a teensy, tiny bit. |
| 98450 But I'm going to do it all the same. |
| 98451 Well, that's that. |
| 98452 That IS that, isn't it? |
| 98453 <CHARNAME>? |
| 98454 Please tell me that that is that. |
| 98455 <CHARNAME>, what'sâ€â€are you okay? |
| 98456 Are you sure? You didn't LOOK fine. Are you sure the ritual didn't affect you more than you're letting on? |
| 98457 Oh, great. THAT's reassuring. |
| 98458 <CHARNAME>? Are you... you? |
| 98459 Yes? Good, good. Glad to hear it. |
| 98460 Now WHAT IN THE NINE HELLS WAS THAT THING YOU JUST TURNED INTO? |
| 98461 You know what, I don't think I want to know. No, I definitely do not want to know. |
| 98462 Just don't do it again, please. |
| 98463 Oh, thank the gods, you're awake. I was getting worried. |
| 98464 Er. |
| 98465 I was getting worried-er. |
| 98466 What's that? Your lips are moving, but you aren't saying anything... Speak up! |
| 98467 Wow, <CHARNAME>. You've really got ISSUES, don't you? |
| 98468 Next time, try HARDER. |
| 98469 Yeah, I kinda noticed. We'll have to do something about it eventually. For now, we've got other things to worry about. |
| 98470 No. No, no, no, no, no, no. Jokes are funny. This is the exact opposite of funny. But it's also something to worry about another time. Come on, we've got to get moving. |
| 98471 Neera... I have to get my soul back, whatever the price. But that's a price you don't need to pay, not on my account. |
| 98472 Get out of here, Neera. This isn't your fight. |
| 98473 We go to face Irenicus, Neera. We may not return. Are you sure this is what you want? |
| 98474 I'm fine. |
| 98475 Great. For a second, I felt like I wasn't in control. It was liberating. |
| 98476 For a moment, I felt strangeâ€â€like I wasn't in control. |
| 98477 Get away from me, Neera, quickly! It's happening again! |
| 98478 Not worried-er enough. Move, get away from me, NOW! Something's happening! |
| 98479 I'm transforming again; I can feel it. If you value your life, get away from me! |
| 98480 To put it mildly. This is going to happen again, Neera. I can't control it. |
| 98481 I tried to warn you. |
| 98482 You think this is a joke? |
| 98483 Great... Something to look forward to... |
| 98484 I've got a lot of things I'd like to refer you as. "Sir" isn't one of them. |
| 98485 What's going on here, <CHARNAME>? You can't be working with this, thisâ€â€THIS. |
| 98486 Don't worry, it won't last long |
| 98487 ... |
| 98488 FINE. |
| 98489 We'll sort this out when this other stuff is sorted out. |
| 98490 Look, <CHARNAME>, I've no love for the Cowled Wizards, but thisâ€â€this isn't right. |
| 98491 It figures you'd turn on your boss. How much longer do you think you've got before he turns on you too, <CHARNAME>? |
| 98492 We're taking him with us? Great. Fantastic. THAT won't come back to nibble on our posterior any time soon. |
| 98493 You still tolerate this wild mage's presence, <CHARNAME>? I'm disappointed. |
| 98494 The chimpanzee stops its chattering. I never thought I'd live to see such a thing. |
| 98495 Silence! You joined Mae'Var's guild with the rest of your party. Will you spoil your plans so soon? Do you think your leader would appreciate that? |
| 98496 You there, <PRO_RACE>, you seem to be in charge. As I said, I am Edwin Odesseiron. Let's get this over with. |
| 98497 Hexxat, the enigmatic vampiress, has stood by your side through all manner of trials. Her motives are her own, but she has begun to mean more to you than you had thought possible. Will you ask her to stand by your side now? |
| 98498 Hexxat... |
| 98499 "A blackguard obeys his patron's command, Though he strains under constant demand. With a choice to make And his world at stake, With whom shall the half-orc stand?" |
| 98500 What nonsense is this? I'll hear no more of it! |
| 98501 What infernal land have you dragged me to now, <CHARNAME>? Tell me what new creatures will fall before us! |
| 98502 Pretty words, mage. But pretty words will not save you from my wrath! |
| 98503 The half-orc Dorn has faced difficult decisions of late, and become stronger for it. Along the way something has developed between you, something dark and passionate. But will he face this last challenge by your side? |
| 98504 Dorn... |
| 98505 Oh, shut up. |
| 98506 Neither you nor I will be satisfied with this husk of a <PRO_MANWOMAN> standing before me. |
| 98507 Let's go make you complete once more. |
| 98508 The half-orc Dorn has come far since joining you in Athkatla. You have done much for himâ€â€but have you done enough? Dare you ask for one final boon? |
| 98509 This isn't your fight, Dorn. |
| 98510 You aren't accustomed to fighting to SAVE souls, Dorn. Are you sure you want to do this? |
| 98511 The challenge ahead is greatâ€â€indeed, it may be insurmountable. Can I trust you to stand beside me, half-orc? |
| 98512 I pick my own fights, <PRO_RACE>. And I choose this one. |
| 98513 No challenge is insurmountable to Dorn Il-Khan! |
| 98514 I would see him live again a thousand times that I might slay him a thousand times moreâ€â€but a single death will suffice for our purposes. You are victorious, <CHARNAME>! |
| 98515 You should have gone out of your way to hide, vampire. You'll regret your carelessness by the time I'm done with you. |
| 98516 Dorn Il-Khan and <CHARNAME> is surely a match made in the darkest of the Nine Hells. The Butcher of Barrow and the Scourge of the Sword Coast will continue to cut a bloody swath through all who stand against themâ€â€and several with the ill fortune to just stand in their general vicinity. A dark fate awaits them, but they have no fear of the darknessâ€â€indeed, they've made a habit of embracing it. |
| 98517 A dark fate? I think you mean a glorious one. |
| 98518 Okay. |
| 98519 The Butcher of Barrow's tale will be told long after Dorn Il-Khan's death. His life was spent cutting down all who stand against himâ€â€and several with the ill fortune to just stand in his general vicinity. A dark fate awaits him, but he has no fear of the darknessâ€â€indeed, he's made a habit of embracing it. |
| 98520 Mind yourself, taleteller, or you'll find yourself in darkness's embrace. I'll hear no more of this "dark fate" nonsense. |
| 98521 Insight? From you? I care naught for your insight, woman. Play your mind games with someone else! |
| 98522 As you wish. |
| 98523 What's the problem, <CHARNAME>? |
| 98524 You faltered there a moment. It was subtle, but noticeable. |
| 98525 If that's your only problem, then we've no problem at all. |
| 98526 Hmm. As you wish. |
| 98527 A troubling notion. Focus yourself, <PRO_MANWOMAN>. The last thing we need now is you getting distracted. |
| 98528 Hah! The avatar of Bhaal stands revealed at last! You are the Slayer, <CHARNAME>! |
| 98529 I never knew you had it in you! |
| 98530 You tremble like a child, <CHARNAME>. What's the problem now? |
| 98531 What? Your lips move, but nothing comes out. Speak up, <PRO_MANWOMAN>! |
| 98532 Such power...! You are magnificent, <CHARNAME>! |
| 98533 The power of the gods cannot be controlledâ€â€it can only be savored. I advise you to do so as often as possible. |
| 98534 When has it ever been safe to walk beside the Bhaalspawn? No, I'll not leave you, especially not now that I've seen the true extent of your power. Forward! |
| 98535 What else could I call such a display of raw divine might? |
| 98536 No problem, Dorn. Why do you ask? |
| 98537 I'm not sure. For a moment there, it felt likeâ€â€I wasn't myself. Like I was losing control... |
| 98538 My problem is with half-orcs poking their tusks into my business. |
| 98539 You see issues where none exist, Dorn. Let's carry on. |
| 98540 I felt, for a second, like I wasâ€â€was losing control... |
| 98541 You see what you want to see, half-orc. You are a predator, looking for weaknessâ€â€I have none. |
| 98542 Get away from me, Dorn. I don't know what's happening. |
| 98543 Where do I begin, you bloody great oaf? Oh, I knowâ€â€I'M LOSING CONTROL! |
| 98544 No problem at all, unless you get in my way. |
| 98545 I'd feel more magnificent if I could control the transformation. |
| 98546 You need to leave, Dorn. You aren't safe around me. |
| 98547 I turned into a bloody monster and you call that magnificent? |
| 98548 I'm worried. We need to get back to Telana and tell her what happened. |
| 98549 I have a better idea. It's time to fight! |
| 98550 I am Gul Dukeem. I manage the mercantile affairs of the enclave. What can I do for you? |
| 98551 Tell me where I can find the Order of Eight Staves and then get out of my way. |
| 98552 What sort of items do you have for sale? |
| 98553 You can die quickly. |
| 98554 It's time to fight! |
| 98555 I should have known. I have no wish to get between you and the Orderâ€â€but if you're trying to stop them, there's no way you'll leave this place alive. |
| 98556 I know we've got other things to deal with, but I'd like to go back to the refuge for a bit. Obviously, we can't stay there, but I want to make sure everyone's all right before I decide my next move. |
| 98557 You're too kind. Given the options, I'll do as you wish. |
| 98558 Freedom or death! |
| 98559 As you wish. Kill them. |
| 98560 We are returned to Tethyr, none the worse for wear. Actually, substantially the worse for wear, but I'll settle for having survived. |
| 98561 We are returned to Tethyr, none the worse for wear. Actually, substantially the worse for wear. The victory came with great cost, though perhaps none have paid more than Neera. She has much to consider now that the Order of Eight Staves is finished. |
| 98562 I am returned to Tethyr, none the worse for wear. Actually, substantially the worse for wear, but I'll settle for having survived. Sadly, Neera did not. |
| 98563 So how does it feel to call the shots? No one named you leader, but you seem to come by it pretty naturally. |
| 98564 It's a privilege, but it's also a burden. I feel responsible for all of you. |
| 98565 Do I? Every day, I wake up astonished that people are still following me around. |
| 98566 I would have it no other way. I was born to lead. |
| 98567 I think that's how I would feel. It would probably end up being too much for me. |
| 98568 I've had a taste of being a leader at the camp, though Telana has carried more of the weight than I have. I've learned that things... go wrong a lot. |
| 98569 I suppose that's what leaders are forâ€â€to help make decisions when things don't go the way people expect. |
| 98570 It's true. I often feel less like a leader and more like someone who's forced to salvage good things from bad circumstances. |
| 98571 A strong leader is prepared for all eventualities, especially the worst ones. |
| 98572 Ha! Yes, sometimes I wake up astonished to find myself still in your company. There's just something about you, though. It smells like destiny. |
| 98573 That's confident! Do all successful leaders lack humility? |
| 98574 The world must be full of leaders, then, because I don't think things EVER go the way people expect. |
| 98575 In any case, I suppose we should get back to what we were doing. "Lead on," as they say. |
| 98576 Like fire arrows from kobold corpses, or sphene gems from basilisks. I get it. |
| 98577 Wow, this "strong leader" of yours sounds really, really boring! Don't ever bring <PRO_HIMHER> to a party. |
| 98578 Do you notice the way people look at you wherever we go? You've made quite the name for yourself here. Sometimes I feel like I'm traveling with royalty or, you know, someone with an improbable deformity. |
| 98579 My deeds have won me some acclaim, but I don't let such things go to my head. |
| 98580 Do they? I haven't noticed. |
| 98581 Of course they stare. Their awe is but a meager tribute to all that I have done. |
| 98582 That's good! I'd have a hard time not letting it go to my head if I were you. |
| 98583 Look at that! Already too famous to care what the world thinks of you. |
| 98584 Can you move your head for a second? It's blocking my view of EVERYTHING. |
| 98585 I know that I'm just riding your coattails, but I wanted to say that I'm proud, in my way, to be riding them. Even if all the corpses you leave behind do make the road a little bumpy. |
| 98586 You're not riding anyone's coattails, Neera. What would I do without you? |
| 98587 Thanks. Now back to the coattails with you! |
| 98588 You're "proud"? It's foolish to take pride in the accomplishments of others. |
| 98589 Simple: You'd fill my spot with a less attractive and less intriguing spellcaster. Still, that's nice of youâ€â€thanks! |
| 98590 Ha ha ha! Fine, but don't forget that being on the coattails gives me a good position from which to kick your posterior. |
| 98591 Not as foolish as trying to compliment a person who already thinks too highly of <PRO_HIMHER>self, apparently. |
| 98592 Anyway, lead on. More brilliant fame and glory await you. I'll just be avoiding the glare here in your shadow. |
| 98593 If you weren't a Bhaalspawn and didn't have to be in the middle of all this, do you have any idea what you'd be doing? |
| 98594 Yes, I've often dreamed about what my life would be like otherwise. |
| 98595 I'm not sure. My destiny has consumed my entire adult life; I know little else. |
| 98596 It's impossible to conceive. A child of Bhaal is what I am and have always been. |
| 98597 You'll have to tell me about those dreams some time. Or who knows? Maybe you'll even have a chance to live out one or two of them once this is all over. |
| 98598 That's sad. I think I'd like to see what having a destiny was like for a day or two, but I'm sure I'd get bored of it. |
| 98599 If I weren't here with you, I'm not sure where I'd be. Birdwatching, maybe? Inventing new ways to stick it to the Thayans? Eating lunch? |
| 98600 Birdwatching? Jerome and Anton aren't enough for you? |
| 98601 Are you hungry, Neera? |
| 98602 You can still invent new ways to stick it to the Thayans. I hope I'm not keeping you from that. |
| 98603 Oh, they're fine, but they're very busy. I hardly get any opportunity to admire the wonders of their plumage. |
| 98604 Always! But I just meant to say that if I weren't here, I might not be doing much of anything at all right now. |
| 98605 I guess I wasn't drawing a very clear line between doing and daydreaming, was I? Maybe it's better that way. Revenge is the stuff of great daydreams, but actual revenge might be the stuff of nightmares. |
| 98606 Anyway, it's kind of hard to think about being anyplace else. I don't trust fate or the gods or whatever well enough to say that my part has a purpose in your little drama, but who knows? Maybe it does. But I'd like to think it's not because the gods gave me that part. |
| 98607 What would you prefer to think, then? |
| 98608 They didn't. I did, remember? You're a useful part of the group. |
| 98609 Sure, sure. Technically, I guess you're right. Still |
| 98610 I'd prefer to think that I'm playing a part I created and acted all by myself. |
| 98611 So how have you been, <CHARNAME>? |
| 98612 Well. |
| 98613 Not so well. |
| 98614 Didn't I already tell you how I've been? |
| 98615 I mean, you know. With the magic. |
| 98616 Oh, I see what you're getting at. They've been going well. |
| 98617 You mean the surges? I'm alive, and nobody I didn't want to be is dead. I shouldn't complainâ€â€but I will, just to keep in practice. |
| 98618 I'd rather not talk about it. I'm sure you understand. |
| 98619 Well, I'm sorry to hear that. That really bites the weed. But when I asked how you were, I was talking less generally and more specifically... |
| 98620 And it helps. Sometimes. Usually. I think it does, anyway. |
| 98621 I'm sure it does. |
| 98622 It may help youâ€â€I'm not sure how much it does for the person you're talking to. |
| 98623 You may want to think again. |
| 98624 I get it, believe me. But... |
| 98625 ...Sometimes it helps to talk about it. At least, that's what I've found. |
| 98626 Yes, I've noticed you like to talk. |
| 98627 So... You want to talk? |
| 98628 What do you want me to say, Neera? I struggle to control my magic, same as you. It does things Iâ€â€don't want it to do, same as yours. |
| 98629 Not about my magic. |
| 98630 No. |
| 98631 Ah. Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me. Usually. I'm eminently findable. |
| 98632 Just ask the Order of Eight Staves. They find me all the time. |
| 98633 How do they DO that? |
| 98634 It's their job. They've probably had lots of practice. |
| 98635 There aren't that many pink-haired half-elven arsonists in the world. |
| 98636 You're not the most subtle person in the world, Neera. |
| 98637 I'm not an arsonist! I don't LIKE setting things on fire. |
| 98638 It just happens sometimes. |
| 98639 I don't want to talk about that. |
| 98640 I don't blame you. |
| 98641 And now you know how I feel discussing my wild magic. |
| 98642 Then we won't. Let's enjoy a silence togetherâ€â€I'm sure the calm won't last. |
| 98643 You could've just said "I'd rather not talk," you know. I would've got the hint. |
| 98644 Really? Great! That's great! |
| 98645 And how are yours? |
| 98646 No, not really. And it's NOT great. The surges are just as hard to control as always. You know what it's like. |
| 98647 It's satisfactory. For the time being. |
| 98648 Oh, you know. Infrequent, uncontrollable, and generally pretty explosive. |
| 98649 So no changes, then. |
| 98650 I know how it is. |
| 98651 You're still alive. That's something. |
| 98652 Not really, now. But hope springs eternal! |
| 98653 At least for a while. |
| 98654 Slow down there, <CHARNAME>. Don't go crazy with the celebrating. You wouldn't want to lose control. |
| 98655 I won't. |
| 98656 I haven't. |
| 98657 I don't know. Losing control has a certain appeal sometimes. |
| 98658 That was sarcasm. |
| 98659 What I said was sarcasm. Suddenly, I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not. |
| 98660 You are a riddle wrapped in an enigma, <CHARNAME>. That must be why I like you. |
| 98661 It's always funny until someone loses an eye and over seventy-five percent of their skin. Don't even joke about losing control, <CHARNAME>. Justâ€â€DON'T. |
| 98662 Well... misery loves company? |
| 98663 That's true enough. I'm glad to have your company, Neera. |
| 98664 I suppose it does at that. I'm glad to have met you again, Neera. |
| 98665 We can talk until we're blue in the face. It changes nothing in the end. I'll not waste my time with it. |
| 98666 Nice talking to you too, <CHARNAME>. |
| 98667 Of course you are. What sane <PRO_GIRLBOY> wouldn't be? |
| 98668 That's why the Refuge is so important. We wild mages need to hang together if we're going to beat the Order. |
| 98669 I can be subtle, when it's called for. I CAN. You'll see. |
| 98670 I'll show you subtle like you've never SEEN before. |
| 98671 You won't even see it when I show it to you. THAT's how subtle I'll be. |
| 98672 <CHARNAME> says I'm not subtle. I'll show <PRO_HIMHER>... |
| 98673 It's SOMETHING. It's just not ENOUGH. But hope springs eternal! |
| 98674 Hello, Rasaad. |
| 98675 Good <DAYNIGHTALL>, Aerie. What can I do for you? |
| 98676 Ohâ€â€nothing. |
| 98677 Very good. |
| 98678 ... |
| 98679 Are you sure there's nothing I can do for you? |
| 98680 I was wonderingâ€â€I mean, I know what it's like to be alone. |
| 98681 We are not alone, Aerie. We have <CHARNAME>. |
| 98682 And each other. |
| 98683 Yeah! What am I, chopped horse meat? |
| 98684 Leave me out of this. |
| 98685 No! I just meant I mean Never mind. |
| 98686 Is our avariel friend all right, <CHARNAME>? |
| 98687 No. And you didn't help matters. |
| 98688 As good as she gets, I'm afraid. |
| 98689 Has she ever been? |
| 98690 I was merely trying to point out that Aerie is not so alone as she thinks. |
| 98691 I think she's perfectly aware of how lonely she is. |
| 98692 You have no idea what just happened, do you? |
| 98693 Doing so will not make her feel less lonely. |
| 98694 What do you mean? |
| 98695 Excuse me, Iâ€â€I've got to go. |
| 98696 <CHARNAME>, what did you mean? |
| 98697 *sigh* It doesn't matter anymore. |
| 98698 Obviously. |
| 98699 You're blowing a wonderful opportunity right now and you don't even know it, do you? |
| 98700 You have no clue what's happening here, do you? Stunning... |
| 98701 That's not the only thing that's obvious. |
| 98702 To be alone is not the same thing as being lonely. |
| 98703 That is true. Incredibly, fantastically, spectacularly, RELEVANTLY to this conversation true. |
| 98704 The latter's usually easier to deal withâ€â€if the person you turn to understands the situation. |
| 98705 I shall leave you to discuss this with Aerie in private. |
| 98706 Very true. |
| 98707 Yes, it is. VERY true. |
| 98708 This situation I describe, does it maybe seem familiar to you? |
| 98709 Gods help you, Rasaad. I fear nobody else can. |
| 98710 I Excuse me, I Excuse me. |
| 98711 Should it? |
| 98712 Oh, don't do that. Please, I |
| 98713 ...And that was how I learned that my brother had been turned by the Doom Bringer, Alorgoth. |
| 98714 A compelling tale of sibling love, rivalry, and betrayal. You are a great warrior, Rasaad. A great man. |
| 98715 I am just a man, Anomen. |
| 98716 You are too modest! Your feats rival my own! Our stories are the stuff of legend! Bards will sing of our victories for years, decades, centuries to come! |
| 98717 Of yours, perhaps. My own adventures would make poor entertainment, I fear. |
| 98718 You're joking. Tell me you're joking. Your tale has all the elements of a classic epic. When word gets out, there's not a wench from here to Waterdeep that won't swoon at the mention of your name. |
| 98719 I would not see the story of my failure made public. |
| 98720 Failure? Where is the failure in your tale? Tell me that. Where? |
| 98721 Leave Rasaad be, Anomen. |
| 98722 I think our monk friend has little interest in sharing his pain, Anomen. |
| 98723 Are you deaf, Anomen? Did you listen to a word the man just said to you? |
| 98724 Leave him be? It's not as though I'm bothering himâ€â€I'm not bothering you, am I, Rasaad? |
| 98725 I must admit, some of the things you say make me... uncomfortable. |
| 98726 Nonsense! |
| 98727 Excuse me. I must goâ€â€meditate. Somewhere else. |
| 98728 Let him speak for himself, <CHARNAME>. What say you, Rasaad? |
| 98729 I did, <CHARNAME>â€â€'twas a truly impressive tale. |
| 98730 Tell me, friend Edwinâ€â€why do you always keep your hood up? |
| 98731 You impertinent chimpanzee! What makes you think I would ever be bothered to explain myself to you? |
| 98732 I was merely curious. |
| 98733 It is curious, wizard. You keep your hood up more than I do, and with less cause. |
| 98734 "Less cause"â€â€as though you know why I prefer to go hood up. |
| 98735 Is it just a fashion choice, or are there other reasons you keep it? |
| 98736 It's no fashion choiceâ€â€at least no modern fashion. Most every Thayan I've met has been too happy to display his shaven head. |
| 98737 Most Thayans do shave their heads, don't they? |
| 98738 I'll not discuss this with you. |
| 98739 I am sorry if I've upset you... |
| 98740 Upset me? Hah! I'd be more upset to find I crushed a gnat beneath my heel! |
| 98741 Your head is very smooth, monk. Tell me, are you naturally bald? |
| 98742 No. I shave it each day. |
| 98743 You shave it yourself, do you? Tell me, how do you do that? |
| 98744 Surely you know how to shave. |
| 98745 Of course I know how to shave my own head, you impudent baboon! |
| 98746 Uh, I merely seek to add to my considerable knowledge on the subject. So tell meâ€â€how do you shave your head? |
| 98747 Having the correct tools helps. Come, I'll show you what I use. |
| 98748 Has anyone seen my razor? |
| 98749 Your what? |
| 98750 The razor I use to shave my head. I appear to have misplaced it. |
| 98751 I haven't seen it. I mean, I've seen it, I've seen you use it, but not, you know, recently. |
| 98752 You are better off without it, my owl. Hair is something to be luxuriated in, not shorn and tossed away. |
| 98753 I've not seen your razor, Rasaad. Nor has Boo. You are welcome to use mine, for the time being. |
| 98754 Quaid |
| 98755 I thank you, Minsc. |
| 98756 Huh. You should be more careful with your possessions, Selûnite. |
| 98757 And how does this <DAYNIGHTALL> find you, my owl? |
| 98758 You call me owl, Haer'Dalis? It does not fit. I rather think I am crow, or a vulture. |
| 98759 My owl sees allâ€â€all but himself. |
| 98760 I see myself all too well. |
| 98761 You see only your darkness, which is understandable enough. But do not forget, there is light within you. |
| 98762 If there is, I see it not. |
| 98763 It is there. Open your eyes and it will blind you. |
| 98764 What was it like for you, Rasaad? Growing up in the Sun Soul order? |
| 98765 It was not an easy life, but it was a good one. We I was fortunate enough to be taken in by the order. Left to the streets of Calimport, I would surely be dead by now. |
| 98766 It must have been something. <CHARNAME> and I were raised in Candlekeep. A nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to be raised there. |
| 98767 <CHARNAME> has told me of Gorion. You were fortunate to have such a man to raise you. |
| 98768 I guess so. I just wish he'd raised us somewhere else. Somewhere more interesting. Somewhere like Calimport. |
| 98769 Calimport is a city of wonders, but it was not all enjoyable, I assure you of that. |
| 98770 Imoen's always had trouble grasping the idea that the grass on the other side of the fence is invariably a brighter shade of green. |
| 98771 And Candlekeep was not nearly as boring as Imoen would have you believe. |
| 98772 No place is. Not in this world. |
| 98773 That's just what the people on the other side of the fence want you to believe. They want to hog all the nice grass for themselves. |
| 98774 Only because you were there. We made our own fun. |
| 98775 We did at that. |
| 98776 Are you all right, Jaheira? |
| 98777 Why do you ask? |
| 98778 You generally seemâ€â€at peace. But for a moment there, your expression darkened. |
| 98779 I am fine, Rasaad. I was just thinking... |
| 98780 <CHARNAME> has told me that's the worst thing I can do. I expect <PRO_HESHE>'s joking. I think. I hope. |
| 98781 What were you thinking of? |
| 98782 My husband, Khalid. |
| 98783 Ah. I am sorry. I shall leave you to your reflections. |
| 98784 No, don't. I could use the company. |
| 98785 I'm sorry to say I didn't know Khalid well. |
| 98786 Few did. |
| 98787 Tell me about him. |
| 98788 He could be... difficult. But he was a good man. A strong man. |
| 98789 He is missed. |
| 98790 He loved you dearly, Jaheira. |
| 98791 A dead man. |
| 98792 Oh, <CHARNAME>. NO. |
| 98793 Ye're a cold one, <CHARNAME>, there's no doubtin' it. |
| 98794 Is that how Gorion raised you, <CHARNAME>? I think he would be ashamed to see what you have become. |
| 98795 Forgive me, Jaheira. I did not mean to cause you discomfort. |
| 98796 Nor have you. <CHARNAME>'s the one who reopened the wound. |
| 98797 And I, him. |
| 98798 I remember when you were separated at Bridgefort. I don't think I've ever seen you so upset. |
| 98799 That was a... trying time. And we weren't to have much time after it. |
| 98800 I know it is difficult, but try not to focus on what you have lost, Jaheira. Instead, treasure the time you had together. It was a gift from the gods. |
| 98801 I try, Rasaad. I try every day. |
| 98802 Dearly missed. |
| 98803 I remember when you were separated at Bridgefort. I don't think I've ever seen you so upset. |
| 98804 Tell me, Jan, is it true that you have a device that |
| 98805 Yep, absolutely. |
| 98806 I didn't finish my question. |
| 98807 You weren't asking me about tattoo removal? |
| 98808 Why would I want to know about that? |
| 98809 Well, you know. Your face and all. |
| 98810 I've no interest in removing my tattoos. They are part of my identity. |
| 98811 It could be done, you know. |
| 98812 What? |
| 98813 The tattoos. They could be got rid of. Easy. |
| 98814 I don't want to be rid of them. |
| 98815 Well, not easy, precisely. It'd sting a bit. |
| 98816 It matters little, because |
| 98817 A bit more than it stung to get 'em. |
| 98818 I wanted to ask you about |
| 98819 And longer, I suspect. Never did understand tattoos myself. My great aunt Beryl loved them. Couldn't get enough of them. Covered her body with the things, then ate a herd of cows to put on enough weight to make room for some more. |
| 98820 Thatâ€â€can't have been healthy. |
| 98821 She was an impressive sight in the end, was Beryl. Four hundred pounds, she was. |
| 98822 Burying her would've been a waste. My uncle used her skin to make a tent that could hold more than twenty people. Fifteen non-gnome people. |
| 98823 Only problem was the tattoos. Some of them creeped people out. So I figured out how to remove them. |
| 98824 That's very interesting |
| 98825 The secret is turnip juice. |
| 98826 Iâ€â€I'll be going now. |
| 98827 When you want to get rid of those tattoos, you just let me know. But bring me a couple gold; turnip juice doesn't come cheap. |
| 98828 I don't like it, <CHARNAME>! No, I don't like it one damn bit! |
| 98829 I couldn't agree more, Korgan. What are we talking about? |
| 98830 I'm sorry to hear that? |
| 98831 Given your sunny disposition, this hardly comes as a surprise. |
| 98832 This high-horsed prettyboy monk o' yers has been lookin' down his nose at me, and I'll not stand for it. |
| 98833 Rasaad, is this true? |
| 98834 Most people look down their noses at you, Korgan. Your stature makes it difficult to do otherwise. |
| 98835 Nor should you. |
| 98836 So I can kill 'im? |
| 98837 There's no need for violence |
| 98838 Says the man whose sole reason for livin' is to knock Alorgoth's teeth down his throat! |
| 98839 I don't know what I've done to offend you, but whatever it was, I apologize. |
| 98840 You put yer pants on one leg at a time, just like the rest of us! |
| 98841 I do, yes. |
| 98842 Ye're no better 'n me, no matter what ye think. |
| 98843 I never claimed I was, nor would I. |
| 98844 Oh, aye. So that's how it is, is it? Well, all right. But ye better watch yourself, monk. Kicks aren't so impressive comin' from someone whose been cut down at the knees. |
| 98845 I What just happened? |
| 98846 Korgan just happened. Don't let it bother you. |
| 98847 Eh. The dwarf's touchy. Justâ€â€avoid him as best you can for a while. I'm sure he'll find another target for his ire in due course. |
| 98848 I don't know, which works out well as I also don't care. |
| 98849 I do not know what he's talking about, <CHARNAME>. Truly. |
| 98850 Oh, so ye're takin' the MONK's side! Can't say I'm surprised. |
| 98851 My side? Forgive me, Korgan. |
| 98852 ...So even though you've the abilities of the paladin, you aren't one? |
| 98853 Sadly, no. |
| 98854 Surely what's in your heart is what matters. |
| 98855 You might think so. But the gods are fickle... |
| 98856 Perhaps, some day, there will be fewer restrictions on those who may carry the banner of their chosen god as paladins. |
| 98857 I dream of such a day. |
| 98858 And what is your story, my friend? |
| 98859 ... |
| 98860 Minsc? |
| 98861 I'm sorry. I thought you were talking to Boo. |
| 98862 As interesting a conversation as that would doubtless be, I was talking to you. You are Rashemi, are you not? |
| 98863 I am. |
| 98864 What brings you to this place? No, let me guess: It is Boo. |
| 98865 No, no! It was my dajemma that brought me here. That andâ€â€my witch. |
| 98866 Your dajemma? |
| 98867 I failed the dajemma. I failed my witch. I failed myself. |
| 98868 But you did not fail Boo. |
| 98869 Boo understands. Boo forgives, even if I cannot. |
| 98870 The hamster is wise. You are a good man. Boo knows. |
| 98871 Boo thinks you are a good man. You should come to Rashemen with us when I return there. We could parade around Immilmarâ€â€I'd introduce you as my long-lost brother. Hah! Wouldn't that be something? |
| 98872 It would indeed, my friend. It would indeed. |
| 98873 What troubles you, my friend? |
| 98874 The same thing that always troubles me, Valygar. |
| 98875 Alorgoth. |
| 98876 You give him too much power over you. |
| 98877 He killed my brother. |
| 98878 Keep walking the path you're on and he may well kill you too. Then where will you be? |
| 98879 I'd rather die than see my brother go unavenged. |
| 98880 Nothing you do will bring him back, monk. You must live for yourself now. |
| 98881 Is that what you do? |
| 98882 ... |
| 98883 It's what I try to do. I know the burden family can be all too well. |
| 98884 Then I guess we will both have to strive to live for ourselves. |
| 98885 I don't like you, monk. |
| 98886 Knowing this will cost me little sleep, Sarevok. |
| 98887 It could cost you much more than that if my half-<PRO_BROTHERSISTER> ever tires of you. |
| 98888 Your threats matter little to me. |
| 98889 You do not fear death? You should. I know what it is like. I had to scratch, claw, and plead my way back into the land of the living. |
| 98890 But do I spend all my days whining about my fate? I do not. |
| 98891 But you... you cannot help but go on and on about what you have lost. Your brother. Your friends. Your wretched Moonmaiden's grace. It'sâ€â€it is comical to me. |
| 98892 You tread on dangerous ground. |
| 98893 Oh? And what will you do about it? |
| 98894 Let it go, Sarevok. |
| 98895 He knows I need you, Sarevok. For that, you are fortunate. |
| 98896 Teach him a lesson, Rasaad. He'll not stop poking you until you poke back. |
| 98897 You ruin ALL my fun, <CHARNAME>. |
| 98898 Funny. I don't FEEL fortunate. |
| 98899 So be it! |
| 98900 Do you yield, monk? |
| 98901 That's enough, Sarevok! End this now! |
| 98902 You better yield, Rasaad. This won't end well if you don't. |
| 98903 Don't do it, Rasaad. Kill him or die trying! |
| 98904 It ends when he yields! |
| 98905 You are beaten, Rasaad. Yield. |
| 98906 Do you understand nothing, Sarevok? Rasaad will never yield. |
| 98907 I say it ends now. |
| 98908 I yield. |
| 98909 I see now why your brother remains unavenged. |
| 98910 Never! |
| 98911 Heh. I see now why the monk's brother has gone unavenged. |
| 98912 I did not want this to happen, <CHARNAME>. But I could not let his insults go unanswered. |
| 98913 You did the right thing. |
| 98914 This is intolerable. Back to the pocket plane with you. |
| 98915 I'll see you dead for this, monk. |
| 98916 Then this is how it must be! |
| 98917 Say the words, monk! Say you yield! |
| 98918 Do it, Rasaad. I'll not see you die over this. |
| 98919 Let him go, Sarevokâ€â€or you'll face my wrath! |
| 98920 I'll not yield to you, Sarevok. |
| 98921 It won't be the first time! |
| 98922 This sounds interesting. |
| 98923 I know you worship Shar, Viconia, and you think we have little to discuss... |
| 98924 There is nothing I wish to discuss with you. |
| 98925 ...But the Precepts of Incandescence are clear. It is my duty to recognize the light in others, not just the darkness. |
| 98926 I don't want to hear about your precious Sun Soul philosophy, monk. |
| 98927 There is light in you, Viconia. I know there is. |
| 98928 Keep talking and I'll paint this place red with your inner light. |
| 98929 I shall leave you for now. |
| 98930 I would have words with you, monk. |
| 98931 Say what you have to say, half-orc. |
| 98932 I come to you on behalf of my patron, Azothet. |
| 98933 I bring you an offer from my patron, Ur-Gothoz. |
| 98934 What would she want with me? |
| 98935 Why would he offer anything to me? |
| 98936 For many years, you have walked in Selûne's light. Now, you have chosen to enter darkness. She sees great promise in you. |
| 98937 For most of your life, you have walked in Selûne's light. Now, you have embarked down a path of darkness. He sees great potential in you. |
| 98938 I wish I could say I found that flattering. |
| 98939 You should. And you should hear what is being offered to you. |
| 98940 What is that? |
| 98941 Power. Great power. Power enough to defeat all who stand against you. Power enough to avenge your |
| 98942 Enough! Selûne may no longer look favorably upon me, but I'll not be tempted by a demon's promises. |
| 98943 When your enemies stand over your broken, dying body, you will wish you hadn't been so quick to reject my patron's gift. |
| 98944 That may be. But I will still have been right to do so. |
| 98945 May I speak with you, Hexxat? |
| 98946 It's never too late to start. |
| 98947 I'm sorry? |
| 98948 I couldn't help but notice you were... less than eager to speak with me before now. |
| 98949 Please forgive me, Hexxat. I did not want |
| 98950 I know what you did not want, Rasaad. The question is what you do want. |
| 98951 What is it like? Being a vampire, I mean. |
| 98952 Considering a walk on the dark side? |
| 98953 No! I mean |
| 98954 You are teasing me. Aren't you? |
| 98955 A little bit. I am curious as to why you ask. |
| 98956 My brother... He is dead. |
| 98957 I heard. I am truly sorry for your loss. |
| 98958 I wonder, sometimesâ€â€if it were possibleâ€â€if I could just see him one more time |
| 98959 You would see him returned? As an undead, perhaps? |
| 98960 Not a vampire, necessarily. |
| 98961 Some other form of undead. |
| 98962 Yes. |
| 98963 That would give you some comfort, would it? |
| 98964 It might. If I thought he was... better off that way. |
| 98965 So you would know what it's like to be among the unliving. Well, Rasaad, I will tell you. |
| 98966 It's cold. And dark, and hard. But mostly, it's cold. |
| 98967 If you want my advice, it is this: Let your brother lie. You'll both be happier that way. |
| 98968 Thank you, Hexxat. |
| 98969 It was my pleasure. If there's anything else I can do for you, you know where to find me. |
| 98970 You fight well, monk. |
| 98971 You are surprised by this? |
| 98972 A little. Selûne is not a particularly martial goddess, as I recall. |
| 98973 Some sects are moreâ€â€disciplined than others. My own isâ€â€was part of the Sun Soul order. The Sun Soul philosophy has as much to do with my abilities as the goddess. |
| 98974 But you have turned against the order. |
| 98975 Not the order. My sect. I may no longer walk in Selûne's grace, but I still try to live by the Precepts of Incandescence. I will always strive to find physical perfection and spiritual virtue, as well as to shine light into darkness. |
| 98976 There are better ways to deal with the darkness. |
| 98977 More efficient ways, perhaps. Better? That is a matter of perspective. |
| 98978 I admire you, Rasaad. The Sun Soul order has done great things for the poor. |
| 98979 It is our duty to spread light wherever we can. There are few who appreciate receiving light more than those whose circumstances have left them in darkness. |
| 98980 The destitute do appreciate the little things more than the noble class. |
| 98981 I sometimes wish I'd been born to a lesser rank. Their lives are hard, but they have meaning, wouldn't you agree? There's a nobility inherent in struggle. |
| 98982 All lives have meaning. And bringing light to the darkness is always a struggle, no matter the circumstances of one's birth. |
| 98983 I guess you're right. I was born to a high station, but I try to make a difference in the lives of those unfortunate people I meet. |
| 98984 I care about them. I want to help them. |
| 98985 I'm sure they recognize it. |
| 98986 Some do. Some are justâ€â€well, rude. |
| 98987 There is a switch on this pillar. Perhaps it will shut off the necromantic traps if flipped. |
| 98988 After the switch is flipped, the necromantic barriers vanish. |
| 98989 Me? I'm not in THAT much pain, really. |
| 98990 No! But I'm guessing that answer won't satisfy you. |
| 98991 Avrum?! Butâ€â€that can't be you! You're not dead. |
| 98992 But… no! I didn't mean toâ€â€I didn't want to see your sorrow. You have to believe me! It was the right thing to do. I could've handled it better, sureâ€â€butâ€â€this is ridiculous! You're alive! This is an illusion. |
| 98993 No! You're alive. I didn't want you dead. I never |
| 98994 No! It isn't, I swear! It'sâ€â€it's not that! |
| 98995 What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? Consider the wild mage you travel with, Neera. |
| 98996 No, I suppose you're not. You prefer causing pain, don't you? Is that not why you travel with my ward? |
| 98997 Neera! |
| 98998 Dearest Neera, how would you know? You left without a word the night after I gave you my heart. |
| 98999 Is it? I ask againâ€â€how do you know? You felt nothing for me. You did not want to know what became of me. You wanted me dead. |
| 99000 You never take anyone seriously but yourself and your own whims and pleasures, Neera. Through magic or callousness, you have destroyed many; it is that cruel indifference to the lives of others that draws you to <CHARNAME>. |
| 99001 Don't listen to him, Neera, it's not true! |
| 99002 Stop this, Gorion! This is madness and cruelty. |
| 99003 Do not speak to her that way, specter. |
| 99004 Enough of this! I tire of these lies. |
| 99005 What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? Consider the vampiress you travel with, Hexxat. |
| 99006 I have known pain, wraith. There is little you can do to hurt me. |
| 99007 Aunt Daxxii. It's been a while. |
| 99008 Why are you here? You died many, many years ago. |
| 99009 Mother was a Mazewalker. She left to serve Ubtao. You know this. |
| 99010 I don't believe you. |
| 99011 You all did. It was centuries ago. |
| 99012 You do not seem surprised to see me, little one. |
| 99013 Life and death are but a maze, little Hexxat. Find the right path and all manner of things are possible. |
| 99014 Your mother taught you that. |
| 99015 Alas, there was little else she could teach you before you drove her away. |
| 99016 We shielded you from the truth as best we could, but you are a child no longer. Surely you suspected? |
| 99017 You were a precocious childâ€â€ambitious, cold. Frightening. She did not know how to deal with you. |
| 99018 When Ubtao called her away, she was relieved. |
| 99019 You drove her away, little one, and she died. |
| 99020 You abandoned us all. Drove us away. It is no wonder you became what you are now. |
| 99021 Don't listen to her, Hexxat, it isn't true! |
| 99022 Stop this cruelty, Gorion! |
| 99023 Stop this, wraith, or I will grant you a very real death! |
| 99024 This isn't real, Hexxat! It's an illusion! |
| 99025 Daxxii |
| 99026 Avrum |
| 99027 Faheed |
| 99028 What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? Consider the monk you travel with, Rasaad. |
| 99029 She would never hurt me. |
| 99030 Father?! |
| 99031 But you... you are dead. I saw the pit fighter |
| 99032 What? |
| 99033 I was a child; Iâ€â€I did what I could |
| 99034 I may not have died by your hand, but it was you who condemned me to the Efreetum. I had no choice. |
| 99035 No, it is not true; I |
| 99036 How can you say this to me? |
| 99037 Please, Father, pleaseâ€â€I did what I could! |
| 99038 Rasaad. |
| 99039 My life ended in the Arena Efreetumâ€â€but you were the one who struck the killing blow. |
| 99040 You know the truth in your heart. You were never good enough, were you? When I needed you most, you were too weak. |
| 99041 I needed you, Rasaad, but you hid in the streets, playing with Gamaz while I slaved trying to keep us fed. |
| 99042 And then you let Gamaz fall into shadow. Abandoned him when he needed you most. You killed him, Rasaad, as surely as you did me. |
| 99043 You killed us both. Your weakness will haunt you till the end of your days, until Shar's umbra passes over you and you surrender to her. I have foreseen it. |
| 99044 Not enough. |
| 99045 He's lying to you, Rasaad! It isn't true! |
| 99046 Stop this, Gorion! End this cruelty! |
| 99047 I'll not let you say such things to Rasaad, specter. |
| 99048 Don't listen to it, Rasaad. It's not real. It's an illusion. |
| 99049 What of the inevitable pain you must give to the one you love? Consider the blackguard you travel with, Dorn. |
| 99050 I'll show you pain, wraith. The Bhaalspawn will not harm me. |
| 99051 Kryll? But I saw you dieâ€â€I broke your neck. What trickery is this? |
| 99052 Aye. And then you betrayed me and left me to die! |
| 99053 Do not call me that. |
| 99054 You got what you deserved. |
| 99055 No! No, Iâ€â€I did not |
| 99056 You did kill me, Dorn. Even now my soul writhes in torment, but not that of the Hellsâ€â€no. We meant something to one another once. |
| 99057 You would have done the same. I tried to convince Simmeon otherwise, my love, but |
| 99058 What, my love? Does it bother you that you threw the only person who saw past your tusks to Ur-Gothoz's embrace? |
| 99059 We were partners, perfect for one another, and you attacked me without giving me a chance to explain. |
| 99060 Simmeon betrayed us all. Did you know that I argued against him? I tried every trick I knew. I had no choice. |
| 99061 You had a choice. And you chose to kill the only person who has ever loved you. |
| 99062 You didn't know, Dorn! |
| 99063 No more, Gorion! This is beyond cruelty! |
| 99064 Do not speak to him that way, specter. |
| 99065 It's not real, Dorn! It's a lie! |
| 99066 Kryll |
| 99067 We seek truth in both light and shadow. |
| 99068 Then you've come to the wrong place. Off with you. |
| 99069 Very well. Have a good evening. |
| 99070 You haven't heard the last of this. You just made yourself a powerful enemy. |
| 99071 I believe I make Aerie uncomfortable, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99072 I believe you're right. |
| 99073 You make a lot of people uncomfortable, Hexxat. |
| 99074 Few things don't. Ignore herâ€â€she needs to toughen up. |
| 99075 Is there anything I could do to make her more at ease with me? |
| 99076 I fear not. Her prejudice is a wall no undead will ever breach. |
| 99077 Yes. You could die. |
| 99078 Not much. Keep your distance and I'm sure she'll do the same. |
| 99079 I don't value her comfort quite that muchâ€â€at least not at the moment. But I'll bear it in mind. |
| 99080 She's tougher than you think. If she gets any tougher, I might have a problem. |
| 99081 You can handle it. |
| 99082 We'll deal with that when the time comes. |
| 99083 If Aerie poses you a problem, you're in serious trouble. |
| 99084 As you say. |
| 99085 You may be right. |
| 99086 This could pose a problem. |
| 99087 I'm sure you can handle it. |
| 99088 You've had worse problems. |
| 99089 If Aerie poses you a problem, you're in serious trouble. |
| 99090 She's tougher than you think, <CHARNAME>â€â€tougher than she thinks. If she ever realizes what she's capable of, I might find myself on the wrong end of a stake. |
| 99091 You're a resourceful woman. I'm sure you can handle it. |
| 99092 If that happens, do what you must. |
| 99093 I always do. |
| 99094 I would have words with you, vampire. |
| 99095 Please, Aerie. Call me Hexxat. |
| 99096 Hexxat was a woman who died two hundred years ago. You are an abominationâ€â€one I'll no longer suffer to live. |
| 99097 Your suffering will end soon, I promise you that. |
| 99098 Your dusky beauty is compelling, Hexxat. |
| 99099 I'm glad you think so. |
| 99100 But it cannot hide the darkness within you. |
| 99101 There is no darkness within me, Anomen. I am just a woman making her way in the world. |
| 99102 You are a devil in disguise. I should slay you where you stand. |
| 99103 I'd rather you didn't. |
| 99104 I'd also rather you didn't. |
| 99105 Keep your sword in your sheath, Anomen. Hexxat's a friend. |
| 99106 I'd like to see him try. |
| 99107 This cannot be allowed to continue, <CHARNAME>. The vixen must go, nowâ€â€or I shall. |
| 99108 Nice knowing you, Anomen. |
| 99109 I'm sorry, Hexxat. A team like this needs unity, and your very presence is at odds with it. |
| 99110 There's but one way to settle this: trial by combat. |
| 99111 I'll not fight for your entertainment. |
| 99112 A shame. Be off with you, then. |
| 99113 Aww. Are you sure? |
| 99114 As you wish. If you change your mind, you know where to find me. |
| 99115 This monster is no friend of mine. |
| 99116 Give me a chance to change that, Anomen. I promise you won't regret it. |
| 99117 Perhaps No! You'll not tempt me, witch! |
| 99118 I'm pretty sure she just did. |
| 99119 Really? THIS is the temptation you choose not to succumb to? I don't get you, Anomen. |
| 99120 Your loss. |
| 99121 Quite. |
| 99122 If you don't value my company enough to fight for it, then I guess we're finished. |
| 99123 Hexxat makes better company than you, Anomen. I'm afraid this is where we part ways. |
| 99124 You're making a mistake, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99125 It won't be the first. |
| 99126 Time will tell. |
| 99127 The only mistake I've made is not sending you packing days ago. Begone. |
| 99128 When you realize the error you've made, you know where to find me. |
| 99129 I would speak with you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99130 You not only would, you are. |
| 99131 If you must. |
| 99132 Is there anything I can do to convince you not to? |
| 99133 I am concerned. |
| 99134 With what? |
| 99135 So am I, though I doubt we're concerned about the same things. |
| 99136 I am not. I am particularly unconcerned with your concerns. |
| 99137 This vampire you have taken to your bosom endangers us all. She is an affront to the natural order. |
| 99138 I couldn't help but overhear. |
| 99139 You have sharp ears. |
| 99140 A common complaint of those who eavesdrop. |
| 99141 And then you couldn't help but interject. |
| 99142 Old habits die hard. |
| 99143 They aren't the only thing. |
| 99144 Especially when no effort's been made to kill them. |
| 99145 No bad thing when they're useful ones. |
| 99146 I gather my presence concerns you, Cernd? |
| 99147 This cannot surprise you. |
| 99148 Few things do anymore. Tell me of this natural order I am an affront to. |
| 99149 That which is dead should not yet live. |
| 99150 And yet I do live. |
| 99151 You exist, and that is... problematic. |
| 99152 Surely my existence is proof that your understanding of the natural order is flawed. |
| 99153 How so? |
| 99154 Nature encompasses all. To go against it is to become a part of it. If I were truly unnatural, I could not be. |
| 99155 You are clever, Hexxat. But clever will only get you so far. |
| 99156 You have to, in my line of work. |
| 99157 It seemed fair, seeing as I was the topic under discussion. |
| 99158 I am concerned. This vampire you have taken in is an affront to the natural order. |
| 99159 As perceptive as always, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99160 This cloak of yours interests me, my dear. |
| 99161 This rag? |
| 99162 It's far more than that. May I see it? |
| 99163 You're seeing it now. |
| 99164 I meant may I examine it closely? |
| 99165 I'd rather you didn't. |
| 99166 Oh, this should be good. |
| 99167 Hah! You're a smart monkey. I'd not let anyone fondle my possessions either. It's a shame, though... I would like to check that cloak out. |
| 99168 Tell me of your nest, my dark dove. |
| 99169 What would you know? |
| 99170 All that there is to know. You flew here from Mezro? |
| 99171 I took a boat. |
| 99172 What winds blew you here? |
| 99173 Ill winds. I prefer not to speak of them. |
| 99174 Heya, Hexxat. Can I talk to you? |
| 99175 Of course, Imoen. What can I do for you? |
| 99176 I'mâ€â€not sure. I just thought you might be able toâ€â€help me? |
| 99177 With what? |
| 99178 You know. What happened in Spellhold. Losing my soul. I thought |
| 99179 I think I know what you thought. |
| 99180 Well...? |
| 99181 I wish I had more to offer, Imoen. I sympathize with your plightâ€â€how could I not? But though I've been undead for centuries, it's still largely a new experience for me, thanks to the circumstances of my turning. |
| 99182 I understand. Maybe you can tell me this, though. Do you ever get used to it? Does it get easier? |
| 99183 Yes. It does. |
| 99184 Thank you. That helps a lot, it really does. |
| 99185 My pleasure. |
| 99186 Was that true, Hexxat? Does it get easier? |
| 99187 It was good of you to say that. |
| 99188 Why did you lie to Imoen, Hexxat? |
| 99189 It's what she needed to hear. With luck, she'll never have to find out. |
| 99190 I can be a good person when the occasion calls for it. Unfortunately, such occasions are few and far between. |
| 99191 She'd find little solace in the truth. I told her what she needed to hear. |
| 99192 You should know that I neither trust nor like you, Hexxat. |
| 99193 I'd have been happier simply suspecting as much. |
| 99194 <CHARNAME> seems to like you well enough, and I have great respect for <PRO_HIMHER>. |
| 99195 As do I. |
| 99196 I know you did not seek to become what you are. I will try to look past it as best I can. |
| 99197 Thank you, Jaheira. I shall try to prove myself worthy of your respect. |
| 99198 Wait a second. Wait one second. |
| 99199 I'll give you two. |
| 99200 What's the matter, Jan? |
| 99201 I wait for no one and nothing. |
| 99202 Hexxat! |
| 99203 You can go where you will, <CHARNAME>. It's not you I wish to speak to. |
| 99204 What can I do for you, Master Jansen? |
| 99205 You've done plenty already. |
| 99206 Forgive me. I don't understand what you're talking about. |
| 99207 Join the club, lassie! |
| 99208 Let me tell you a story, vampire. |
| 99209 Get comfortable, Hexxat. This may take a while. |
| 99210 It's about a lovely girl named Yanna Jojannsen. |
| 99211 Ah. I think I know this story. |
| 99212 I don't. |
| 99213 Would anyone care to tell it to me? |
| 99214 I couldn't care less about this story. |
| 99215 A lovely girl was Yanna. With delicate, nimble fingers. She had a great future ahead of her, or so it seemed to everyone who met her. |
| 99216 And then she started talking about the tomb of this raging monster called Dragomir. About how great treasure could be found there. |
| 99217 Her family tried to talk her out of going there, of course, but it was all for naught. One night, she vanished, never to return. |
| 99218 Oh no. You're saying this Yanna was one of Hexxat's victims? |
| 99219 I hope this story ends happily ever after with her living with the boy she eloped with... |
| 99220 It happens. |
| 99221 She was my niece, and this, this, this VAMPIRE lured her to her doom. |
| 99222 I am deeply sorry for your loss. |
| 99223 Sorry? I'll show you sorry! |
| 99224 There was nothing personal in what I did. I sought only to survive. |
| 99225 We all do what we must to survive, Jan. |
| 99226 We all do things we regret from time to time. |
| 99227 Perfectly understandable. |
| 99228 Tell it to my sister, <CHARNAME>. Oh wait, you can'tâ€â€she died soon after Yanna, broken by her daughter's loss. |
| 99229 I've seen many a monster in my time, but thisâ€â€this THING has no place walking the world. Not while my niece lies dead. |
| 99230 It didn't just happen. SHE made it happen. |
| 99231 It'd be nice to think that, wouldn't it? But that's not the way it went. |
| 99232 Understandable? |
| 99233 Regret? |
| 99234 Ho there, wench. I've a mighty appetite this <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 99235 Sukayna |
| 99236 A situation with which I'm all too familiar. |
| 99237 Aye, well, perhaps ye can help me out wi' this. See, I be cravin' somethin' specific. |
| 99238 And what is that? |
| 99239 Meat. DARK meat. If ye know what I mean. |
| 99240 Hmm. Perhaps we could come to an arrangement. |
| 99241 Oh, aye? |
| 99242 I am also craving something. |
| 99243 Oh, I just bet ye are. |
| 99244 And when I crave something... I lose control. I can't get enough of it. |
| 99245 I like the sounds o' that. |
| 99246 I'm unstoppable. I drink and I drink until my cup is empty. |
| 99247 Yer cup. |
| 99248 Or tankard. Whatever I'm drinking out of. How much do you weigh? |
| 99249 What? |
| 99250 I've never tasted dwarf blood before. I'm used to... larger meals. I wonder how much blood you could spare? And if it's as delicious as you make it seem, whether I could stop myself before you were drained dry. |
| 99251 I, er. Hm. |
| 99252 Still want a taste of dark meat? |
| 99253 ... |
| 99254 Gimme some time. I'll have to think on that one. |
| 99255 You do that. |
| 99256 I've held my tongue long enoughâ€â€for too long, if the truth be known. |
| 99257 Mazzy? Is everything all right? |
| 99258 Well, hold it no longer! What's the problem? |
| 99259 I can tell there'll be no holding it back now. |
| 99260 The problem is the monster you've taken to your breast. |
| 99261 You have invited a viper into our midst. It cannot stand! |
| 99262 Nothing is right! Nothing can be right while we count this vile creature among our number. |
| 99263 You have a problem with me? |
| 99264 Many. But all are dwarfed by my issues with the vampire. |
| 99265 Hey! I'm standin' right here, ye halfling god-botherer! |
| 99266 You have some issue with my presence? |
| 99267 You are a creature of darkness. You should not be allowed to walk the earth, much less walk it at <CHARNAME>'s and my side. |
| 99268 You are too quick to judge |
| 99269 Your smooth tongue may have won over the others, Hexxat. But I see clearly. |
| 99270 I'm not sure you do. |
| 99271 Peace, Mazzy. We are friends here, are we not? |
| 99272 If you see so clearly, then why do you not act? |
| 99273 For your sake, <CHARNAME>. But if you've no objection, I'll be happy to deal with this now. |
| 99274 You won't be so happy when this is done, halfling. |
| 99275 Thisâ€â€THINGâ€â€is no friend of mine. If you stand with her, then you will stand forever without me. |
| 99276 You call this thing friend? |
| 99277 Then bid your friend farewell! |
| 99278 Farewell, Mazzy. I am sorry it came to this. |
| 99279 I really am sorry, <CHARNAME>. I wish there were something I could do to make people like her see me as who I am rather than what they believe me to be. |
| 99280 The day may come when such bigotry is no longer accepted. |
| 99281 Nobody said being an undead creature of the night would be easy. |
| 99282 Forget the halfling. We are stronger without her. |
| 99283 It can't come soon enough. |
| 99284 Would that I could ignore such unthinking hatred as easily as you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99285 Would that I could be so casual in the face of such unthinking hatred as you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99286 What can I say? It's a gift. |
| 99287 You know what they say, Hexxat: practice, practice, practice. |
| 99288 Casual? Nay. The hatred of others inspires me to greater and greater featsâ€â€to stymie those who would see me fall is the greatest pleasure. |
| 99289 An intriguing philosophy. I'll reflect upon it. |
| 99290 She's blinded you, <CHARNAME>â€â€turned you down the path to darkness. |
| 99291 Hexxat is my friend. |
| 99292 You're the blind one, Mazzy. Blind with hatred. |
| 99293 I was walking that path long before I encountered Hexxat. |
| 99294 Then keep walking itâ€â€without me. |
| 99295 I see clearlyâ€â€would that you could say the same. |
| 99296 Are you sure...? She'sâ€â€well, you know. |
| 99297 She SEEMS nice, yes, but stillâ€â€vampire. |
| 99298 My ears are burning. |
| 99299 No, they aren't. |
| 99300 You mentioned a vampire. |
| 99301 I was talking to Boo. |
| 99302 Ah. I see. And what did Boo say? |
| 99303 Boo says you aren't what you seem. |
| 99304 Few people are. Your miniaturized giant space hamster is wise. |
| 99305 You... RECOGNIZE giant space hamsters? |
| 99306 Of course. |
| 99307 Boo is right. You aren't a normal vampire. |
| 99308 I try not to be. They're rather unpleasant creatures, as a rule. |
| 99309 Maybe it's all right that you're with us after all. |
| 99310 You thought otherwise? |
| 99311 Well. You're a vampire. |
| 99312 I understand. And what does Boo think? |
| 99313 Boo thinks... you're all right. |
| 99314 Has Boo steered you wrong yet? |
| 99315 No! Never! |
| 99316 Perhaps you should listen to him now, then. |
| 99317 Yes. I'll do that. |
| 99318 Thank you for telling me about the madman's hamster, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99319 I didn't realize you'd use the information to take advantage of him. |
| 99320 Minsc? Mad? He's as sane as you or I! |
| 99321 Anything to keep the peace. |
| 99322 I hope you're joking. |
| 99323 Take advantage of him? Not at all. I merely seek to ensure relations between me and your friends don't turn sour. Some have... issues with my nature. I'd rather Minsc not be one of them. |
| 99324 Just make sure he doesn't find out you can't tell a giant space hamster from a dormouse. |
| 99325 But I can. |
| 99326 You can? |
| 99327 A dormouse can't speak. |
| 99328 ... |
| 99329 <CHARNAME>? You are joking, aren't you? |
| 99330 May I have a word, Nalia? |
| 99331 Of course, Hexxat. What can I do for you? |
| 99332 You can stop looking through my things when you think I'm too preoccupied to notice. |
| 99333 I don't know what you're talking about. |
| 99334 Did you know vampires have a highly developed sense of smell? |
| 99335 I did know that. I forgot about it temporarily, but it was something I was aware of, at one point. |
| 99336 Is there something you'd like to say to me? |
| 99337 ... |
| 99338 I'm sorry I went through your things. |
| 99339 What did you hope to find? You must know I'd keep anything of true value on my person. |
| 99340 I wasn't going to ROB you. |
| 99341 You weren't? |
| 99342 No! I just wanted toâ€â€see what sort of things you carried. I wanted to see if they were as, asâ€â€exotic as you are. |
| 99343 And? |
| 99344 They weren't. It was just a normal pack. |
| 99345 I'm sorry to have disappointed you. |
| 99346 Next time you would know something of meâ€â€of anyone, reallyâ€â€just ask. To do otherwise is just... rude. |
| 99347 Rude?! |
| 99348 I meanâ€â€I'm sorry. Next time, I'll do as you say. |
| 99349 Good. |
| 99350 You are smiling, creature. |
| 99351 I am. What of it? |
| 99352 What have you to smile about? |
| 99353 Since you started speaking to me, I honestly cannot recall. |
| 99354 You are a murderer. A monster. |
| 99355 You do me a disservice. |
| 99356 What you did while trapped in Dragomir's Tomb was unforgivable. You are no better than the malign being that possessed my ancestor, Lavok, and laid my bloodline low. |
| 99357 Ah, I see now. You are looking for someone to blame for Lavok's fall. |
| 99358 How many women, how many innocent girls, did you drag to their deaths while you wore Dragomir's Casque? Two? Five? A dozen? A hundred? |
| 99359 What would you have done in my place, Valygar? Would you have submitted to your fate, laid silent with the worms for all eternity? Aware of time passing above you but unwilling to take action for fear some innocent naif might be hurt? |
| 99360 If so, I prithee forgive me. You are far more noble than I. I wanted to live. |
| 99361 Warm blood courses through the veins of the living. All that moves through your body is cold, dark magic. |
| 99362 I call you abomination. You should be destroyed. |
| 99363 Come and try it, then. |
| 99364 Enough! I'll not tolerate this discord. |
| 99365 Sheathe your claws, both of you. Save your venom for our enemies. |
| 99366 Take your best shot, Valygar. My money's on the vampire. |
| 99367 Then you must rid yourself of this vile parasite. |
| 99368 I'll not cast Hexxat aside, for you or anyone. She has earned my respect. |
| 99369 Vile parasite? Really? |
| 99370 I do not take orders from you, Valygar. |
| 99371 Everything she's done has been at the expense of those who sought to help herâ€â€or were forced to. |
| 99372 She did what she had to to survive. If you've a problem with thatâ€â€deal with it. |
| 99373 You make it sound like she had a choice. |
| 99374 The weak invite exploitation. |
| 99375 There will be no peace for us, <CHARNAME>. Not while this thing walks among us. |
| 99376 It was nice talking to you, Valygar. We must do it again some <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 99377 Die and stay dead, fiend! |
| 99378 You call a vampire friend? |
| 99379 This one, I do. |
| 99380 A friend? Perhaps. Certainly an ally, and one I value greatly. |
| 99381 I call Hexxat a friend. |
| 99382 How can you value thisâ€â€thing? All she offers youâ€â€all she offers anyoneâ€â€is doom. She helps you only so long as you serve her purposes. The second that changes, she will turn on you, as she has on everyone who ever helped her. |
| 99383 I thought better of you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99384 There's always a choice, <CHARNAME>. And letting this monster walk with usâ€â€by not cutting it down where it standsâ€â€you are making the wrong one. |

| 99393 fallen blackguard |
| 99394 And not for the better. |
| 99395 Disgusting. I'm done with you. |
| 99396 Her grace doesn't exactly seem to be shining down on you... |
| 99397 You carry yourself well, Viconia. |
| 99398 I have to. |
| 99399 A woman must work doubly hard to prove herself in this world. |
| 99400 And a drow triply so. |
| 99401 But you do so, with grace and poise. |
| 99402 You don't do so badly yourself. |
| 99403 When it comes to battle, my skills are passable. There are other places where I positively excel. |
| 99404 Perhaps I could show you some time. |
| 99405 What are you suggesting, precisely...? |
| 99406 Sometimes a woman needs the company of another woman. |
| 99407 The feel of another woman's flesh upon her own. |
| 99408 Is that clear enough for you? |
| 99409 It is a shame your flesh is so cold, or for a moment, I might have been tempted. |
| 99410 Consider the possibilities, Viconia. You'd have no regrets come the morning, I promise you. |
| 99411 I have heard such promises before. None have proved accurate. |
| 99412 A vampire, <CHARNAME>? Truly? Is this what we've come to? |
| 99413 I am disappointed, Master Firecam. I thought you a more chivalrous spirit. |
| 99414 You'd see another man completely, were you human. |
| 99415 But, through no desire of my own, I am not. |
| 99416 You are an aberration. An abomination that must be destroyed. |
| 99417 Hexxat is a friend, Keldorn. |
| 99418 I would not see you destroyed, Hexxat. |
| 99419 If that's the way you feel, then do what you must. |
| 99420 If this is a friend, then you are a fool. A damned fool. |
| 99421 You are too quick to judge me, paladin. Give me time. I'll prove my worth. |
| 99422 I KNOW your worth, monster. |
| 99423 Your close-mindedness blinds you to a valuable ally. A pity. I thought better of you, Firecam. |
| 99424 I care not what a vampire thinks of me. |
| 99425 You talk to him, <CHARNAME>. I can see there's nothing I can say to change his mind. |
| 99426 I'm afraid he's right, Hexxat. I know you mean me no harm, but your very nature poses a grave threat to me and mine. You should go. |
| 99427 Yes. I believe he sees intractability as a noble quality. |
| 99428 There's clearly but one way to resolve this. I think it's time for a fight to the death. |
| 99429 Come now. We are civilized people here. We can |
| 99430 Back to the Hell from whence you came, demon! |
| 99431 A mistake. One you'll come to regret, I promise you. |
| 99432 But if it is your wish, very well. I shall go. |
| 99433 Letting her go was a mistake, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99434 I thought you wanted her gone. |
| 99435 I could call her back. |
| 99436 You're right. I should have let you go instead. But what's done is done. |
| 99437 Without you to hold her back, who knows what she will do? You should have destroyed her when you had the opportunity. |
| 99438 You would have me murder someone who's done nothing against me? |
| 99439 Well, it's too late now. Where were you thirty seconds ago? |
| 99440 Be silent, paladin, or I'll take this opportunity to destroy you. |
| 99441 You cannot murder that which does not live. Whatever pain she causes now, it's on your head. |
| 99442 You misunderstand me. I do not want her as an ally. I want her wiped from the face of the realms. |
| 99443 I am very glad to hear it. |
| 99444 But Keldorn is right. I cannot risk allowing a vampire in our midst. |
| 99445 If you will not accept Hexxat as one of our number, Keldorn, then you will have to leave. |
| 99446 But I'll not stand in Keldorn's way. It's apparent the two of you cannot coexist. I see only one way to resolve the issue. |
| 99447 You would have me leave? |
| 99448 There is no sin in it if your cause is righteous. |
| 99449 Your close-mindedness will be the death of you, Keldorn. But it'll not be the death of me. Leave us. |
| 99450 Your version of righteousness and mine bear little resemblance to one another, I fear. But you are right. We are better off without Hexxat. |
| 99451 If your cause is righteous, then you have no choice but to strike her down. |
| 99452 You choose this vampire's company over mine? So be it. |
| 99453 But know this: The crimes she will doubtless commit are on your head, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99454 Farewell. |
| 99455 Torm be praised! Justice has been done. The vampire's victims are avenged. |
| 99456 Praise Torm! |
| 99457 Great. Can we get on with our lives now? |
| 99458 Yes, and I'm sure they rest easier because of it. Let's get out of here. |
| 99459 What were you thinking, <CHARNAME>? What was the point of this? |
| 99460 Friction among my allies is a problem. It needed to be resolved. |
| 99461 My own entertainment, of course. And an entertaining distraction it was. |
| 99462 Keldorn's incessant whining was beginning to bore me. He had to die. |
| 99463 There must have been a better way than this, this pointless bloodshed. |
| 99464 A better way? Perhaps. But none so expedient, I think. |
| 99465 Probably. But what's done is done. |
| 99466 Pointless? Hardly. |
| 99467 I thought I had cold blood, <CHARNAME>. You've pure ice running through your veins. |
| 99468 These are dark times, Hexxat. I must be cold and hard to survive them. |
| 99469 I blame Bhaal. And society. But mostly Bhaal. |
| 99470 You'd do well to remember that, vampire. |
| 99471 For your sake, <CHARNAME>, I hope the prize is worth the cost. |
| 99472 Her crimes are on your head now, <CHARNAME>. I hope you can live with it. |
| 99473 I'd hate for you to miss your chance, <CHARNAME>. Have at you! |
| 99474 Your perspective is too limited, <CHARNAME>. I see a multitude of options |
| 99475 Corrupted Ankheg |
| 99476 <CHARNAME>! Your name has been inscribed in the Scroll of Retribution. Now you will pay for your crimes! |
| 99477 It is good to walk beside one like myself. |
| 99478 Like you, Dorn? |
| 99479 We are nothing alike, half-orc. |
| 99480 I hope you're not referring to me. |
| 99481 Aye. One who sees the world as I do, whose goals mirror my own. |
| 99482 I seek power, even as you do. But I'd never allow myself to become what you have. |
| 99483 You see the world through your patron's eyes, Dorn. You do another's will. We are nothing alike. |
| 99484 And you say it is good that we walk together? |
| 99485 Who else would I refer to? You and I alone have cast aside the chains of morality that bind these others. You and I alone are prepared to do what is required, whatever it takes, to gain more power, regardless of the cost. |
| 99486 I am cognizant of the cost, half-orcâ€â€far more than you, it would seem. |
| 99487 Some prices are too high, Dorn. You have paid such a price. |
| 99488 You flatter yourself. |
| 99489 What is this you say? |
| 99490 I do as I will. You are bound to the will of another. |
| 99491 I say nothingâ€â€nothing you'd be willing to hear, at any rate. |
| 99492 You claim to seek power while submitting to the will of another. You are pathetic, half-orc. |
| 99493 You and I alone have cast aside the chains of morality that bind these others. You and I alone are prepared to do what is required to gain more power, regardless of the cost. |
| 99494 You pay a higher price than I would ever tolerate, half-orc. |
| 99495 I am not prepared to sacrifice myself for power. |
| 99496 The difference is that I seek power for myself, while everything you achieve is in the name of another. |
| 99497 The power my patron grants me is worth the occasional inconvenience. |
| 99498 A convenient rationalization. But if you're happy to be a slave, we'll speak of it no more. |
| 99499 I'm sure that idea helps you sleep at night, but it doesn't reflect the reality of your bondage. |
| 99500 These occasional inconveniences will be the death of you, half-orc. But I'll not sacrifice myself to serve your patron's whims. |
| 99501 You dare call Dorn Il-Khan slave? |
| 99502 I call you what you are, half-orc. If you've a problem with that, perhaps you should take it up with your patron. |
| 99503 Sorry, Dorn. I calls 'em as I sees 'em. |
| 99504 Don't take that tone with me, half-orc. |
| 99505 Hmm. Perhaps I will. |
| 99506 My blade will take it up with your throat! |
| 99507 Perhaps you'll see things more clearly when I cut your eyes from your skull! |
| 99508 You think otherwise? |
| 99509 I fear we are too alike. There will come a time when we both desire the same thing, and only one can have it. What will happen then? |
| 99510 Eh. 'Tis a minor concern, if that. Never mind me. |
| 99511 I think it is inevitable that people of great power cannot coexist peacefully for long. Someday, we will come to blowsâ€â€we must, to prove which of us is dominant over the other. |
| 99512 Then we shall determine, once and for all, who has the greater power. 'Tis a day to look forward to, <CHARNAME>. Not one to fear. |
| 99513 I can't wait. |
| 99514 We are not so alike, then. I cannot look forward to killing someone as useful to me as you are. |
| 99515 Only a fool would not be afraid to face me. |
| 99516 Hah! I admire your confidence, but I assure you, that is not something you need ever fear, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99517 Perhaps. Regardless, 'tis a matter to be resolved another day. |
| 99518 Your confidence is misplaced, half-orc. But there's no point going to war over hypotheticals. We'll deal with this when the time comes. |
| 99519 No. You should. |
| 99520 Agreed. |
| 99521 Nay, I flatter you. There are few I would compare to myself. Take the compliment that's intended. |
| 99522 Very well. You are right. We are alike, in all the ways that matter. Now let us be about our business. |
| 99523 I shall. The gods know I've taken worse compliments in my time. |
| 99524 No. I'll take the insult that's given. I am beyond compare, Dorn Il-Khan. You try to elevate yourself through your association with me, which I shall tolerate as long as you're of use. But know your role, half-orc, and remember your place. |
| 99525 "Know my role"? "Remember my place"? You insolent pig! I'll bathe in your blood! |
| 99526 No one has asked you to. |
| 99527 And that is a good thing. |
| 99528 Yet I think when the time comes, I'll be expected to. |
| 99529 Now you need not, for you know my answer. |
| 99530 You will do as you will, then as always. I would expect no less. |
| 99531 Good. |
| 99532 Nor should you. |
| 99533 I'd like to expect no less from you, Dorn. But I know I would be disappointed. |
| 99534 What is the purpose of this incessant badgering? Are you looking for a fight? |
| 99535 Perhaps I am. |
| 99536 Don't need to. When you're around, I always know where I can find one. |
| 99537 A fight with you hardly seems worth the effort. |
| 99538 Then ready yourself for disappointment. I'll not waste my energy battling an ally. |
| 99539 Then rejoice, for you have found one! |
| 99540 Nor am I. |
| 99541 But you do. Everything you do, every foe that falls beneath your blade, every act of butchery you commitâ€â€it's all done in service to another. You haven't just sacrificed yourself for powerâ€â€you risk everything in service to another's power! |
| 99542 I can see there's no talking rationally to you about this. |
| 99543 Are you so blind, Dorn? Do you not see the chains this patron of yours has bound you with? |
| 99544 Then be silent. |
| 99545 Is that what you believe, <CHARNAME>? |
| 99546 So you do challenge me! |
| 99547 Now pay the price for your arrogance! |
| 99548 You worry too much, <CHARNAME>. The world is ours for the taking. You should revel in that, as I do. |
| 99549 A grim forecast. |
| 99550 You call me a fool? |
| 99551 Nor can I. |
| 99552 You misunderstand me, half-orc. I can't waitâ€â€we will determine which of us is superior now. Draw your blade. |
| 99553 Yet wait we will. I do so enjoy the feeling, the electric thrill of anticipation. |
| 99554 So why wait? Let's do this now. Draw your blade and die! |
| 99555 You have made a grave mistake, <PRO_RACE>. The grave in question is your own. |
| 99556 Indeed. |
| 99557 I'll try to prove myself worthy of your attention, <PRO_RACE>. |
| 99558 You ignore the benefits he provides, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99559 You. Girl. |
| 99560 Um. Me? |
| 99561 Aye. What are you doing here? |
| 99562 I don'tâ€â€I don't understand the question... |
| 99563 The Bhaalspawn's side is no place for a simpering child. |
| 99564 I'mâ€â€I'm not a simpering child. |
| 99565 Spoken like a simpering child. Begone. There's no place for you here. |
| 99566 You don't order me around. I'll go when <CHARNAME> says to go. And I don't think <PRO_HESHE> will say that. |
| 99567 Hah! You've some spirit to you. Maybe you're worthy of the Bhaalspawn's attention after all. MAYBE. |
| 99568 What is that I smell? Ah, I recognize it nowâ€â€'tis the stink of righteousness. |
| 99569 Righteousness would offend a villain like you, half-orc. |
| 99570 No, no, I am wrong. It's not the stench of righteousness that fills the air. It is hypocrisy. |
| 99571 You call me hypocrite? |
| 99572 A holy warrior who walks cheek by jowl with a Bhaalspawn and a blackguard? What else could I call you? |
| 99573 I walk with <CHARNAME>, not with you. |
| 99574 Mind your tone or I'll see to it you never walk again. |
| 99575 Stop it, Dorn. We're all friends here. |
| 99576 Mind yours, Dorn. I won't tolerate this sort of nonsense. |
| 99577 Hah! That's something I'd like to see. |
| 99578 And so you will! |
| 99579 Show me what you've got, fool! |
| 99580 This wretch is no friend of yours, <CHARNAME>. He is an anchor weighing you down. |
| 99581 He is a good and valued ally. |
| 99582 Some would say the same of you. |
| 99583 Once, perhaps. But those days are at an end. |
| 99584 <CHARNAME>? You turn against me? |
| 99585 <CHARNAME> has finally realized the error <PRO_HESHE> made in allying <PRO_HIMHER>self with you. Die, you pious gnat! |
| 99586 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. Your appreciation is, uh, appreciated. |
| 99587 I speak only the truth, Anomen. |
| 99588 Listen, you twoâ€â€this is a team. We need to work together. Is that going to be a problem? |
| 99589 Shut up, Anomen. The half-orc is right. You are nothing but a yoke around my neck, holding me back. |
| 99590 And a pitiful truth it is! |
| 99591 It's a problem for me. |
| 99592 Anyone fool enough to ally <PRO_HIMHER>self with this weakling isn't worthy of my company. When you rid yourself of this useless baggage, seek me out, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99593 What are you saying? |
| 99594 Isn't it obvious? Begone. You've nothing to offer me. |
| 99595 I'm saying it's time you left... all your valuables behind you as you exit my life. |
| 99596 I'm saying your time with me is at an endâ€â€and so is your life. |
| 99597 Asâ€â€as you wish. |
| 99598 You are better off without him, <CHARNAME>. He did naught but hold you back. |
| 99599 You call this filth a friend? |
| 99600 I do. |
| 99601 Are you deaf, you bloody great lummox? |
| 99602 I did, when it suited me to do so. But that time is long past. |
| 99603 I'll leave if that's your wish, but I'll not be robbed in the process. |
| 99604 So be it. Go. |
| 99605 Ohhh. Bad move, Anomen. |
| 99606 Robbed or killed, the choice is yours. |
| 99607 Taste steel, paladin! |
| 99608 Fools and weaklings, all. |
| 99609 I am neither fool nor weakling, as you'll find outâ€â€now! |
| 99610 Resurrection Gorge. How could something with such a name have fallen into such a state? |
| 99611 Fallen? It was pushed by a druid foolâ€â€though perhaps the phrase "druid fool" is redundant. |
| 99612 You believe druids to be fools? |
| 99613 I've seen no evidence to the contrary. |
| 99614 You see nothing you do not want to. |
| 99615 You do me a disservice. I see many things I'd prefer not toâ€â€and then I see them fall beneath my blade. |
| 99616 Not all problems are so easily solved. |
| 99617 Perhaps. But I've yet to encounter one that wasn't. |
| 99618 Tell me of your patron, half-orc. |
| 99619 What business is he of yours? |
| 99620 What business is she of yours? |
| 99621 Power is my business. And your patron clearly does not lack for that. What is your arrangement with the demon? |
| 99622 I do his bidding; he gives me power. That is all you need know. |
| 99623 I do her bidding, and in return she gives me all the power I require. You need know no more. |
| 99624 Yes, I understand that, but how is the power transmitted to you? |
| 99625 You know what? Never mind. You probably don't even know the answer, you ignorant orangutan. |
| 99626 Keep talking, mage. I'll carve the answer on your corpse's flesh. |
| 99627 And what shall I call you, my grim, grand vulture? |
| 99628 My name is Dorn Il-Khan. Call me that, or "master," if you prefer. |
| 99629 No, no, such a mundane appellation will not do. |
| 99630 It's done me well enough till now. |
| 99631 I shall call you "Dark-Edge." Much better, yes? |
| 99632 If you would give me a new name, it's only fair that I do the same. |
| 99633 Indeed it is, Dark-Edge. And what would you call this one? |
| 99634 Instead of Haer'Dalis, I think I'll call you "Head'Less." What do you think of that? |
| 99635 Dorn Il-Khan it is, then. |
| 99636 <CHARNAME>, can I talk to you a moment? |
| 99637 Of course, Imoen. |
| 99638 If you think you can limit yourself to one moment, sure. |
| 99639 Only if I don't have to listen. |
| 99640 Okay, I can see you're in a mood. I'll try later. |
| 99641 Oh! I've been impaled on your rapier wit. Seriously, though. |
| 99642 Why are you hanging around with that half-orc? He's bad news. |
| 99643 He's also a powerful ally. |
| 99644 He has his uses. |
| 99645 I know. He's glorious, isn't he? |
| 99646 A powerful ally who kills more people than he talks to. |
| 99647 No! He's cruel, and violent, and frightening and just, just |
| 99648 I believe the word you're looking for is "magnificent." |
| 99649 Just wrong. |
| 99650 Wrong, girl? Wrong? Who are you to judge me? |
| 99651 Someone with eyes and a heart. |
| 99652 Eyes and a heart, but no brain. |
| 99653 Says the guy who's got every bounty hunter from Waterdeep to Baldur's Gate after him. |
| 99654 You called me cruel and violent and frightening. I am all these things. And for that, you should be grateful. |
| 99655 Grateful? How do you figure that? |
| 99656 That <CHARNAME> stands with you, and I stand with <PRO_HIMHER>. We walk a dangerous path, the three of us. To survive, we must be even more dangerous. |
| 99657 How many have I killed defending <CHARNAME> and, by extension, you? How many predators gazed upon you, then saw me and turned their attention elsewhere? |
| 99658 Whether you know it or not, I protect you and all those who walk beside the Bhaalspawn. You owe me your thanks, but I'll not linger awaiting it. |
| 99659 Bad news, <CHARNAME>. The worst. |
| 99660 Fire has its uses, but hold it too close and sooner or later you're gonna get burned. |
| 99661 The girl is right, <CHARNAME>. |
| 99662 I am? |
| 99663 I am a fiend, a villain, a blackguard. I am all these things and more, and for that, you should be grateful. |
| 99664 This has gone on too long, <CHARNAME>. I can stand no more. |
| 99665 You have a problem, Jaheira? |
| 99666 I'd probably agree if I had any idea what you were talking about. |
| 99667 I'm sorry to hear that. Though not, I suspect, as sorry as I'll be to find out what you can no longer stand. |
| 99668 This blackguard is an affront to the natural order. He is an aberration, spreading evil and chaos, and I'll tolerate it no longer. |
| 99669 An aberration? You do me a disservice, druid. |
| 99670 I hardly think that is possible. |
| 99671 But it is. Am I not a part of nature? |
| 99672 There is nothing natural in you, half-orc. |
| 99673 I seek to better myself. To make myself stronger that I may survive and thrive. There is nothing more natural than that. |
| 99674 You are a poison. Even your words are toxic. |
| 99675 They may not be to your taste, druidâ€â€but they are nevertheless true. If you've a problem with how I live my lifeâ€â€deal with it. |
| 99676 There are times I wish I could still speak with my great-uncle Hans Jansen. A great alchemist, he was. He could turn donkey dung into gold. Funny thing, thoughâ€â€few people want gold that smells like donkey dung. Also, the effect was only temporary. He mistimed one transaction and found himself in a world of |
| 99677 Tell me, gnomeâ€â€is there a contraption in that pack of yours that will reattach your endlessly blathering head once I cut it from your shoulders? |
| 99678 Actually, now that you mention it |
| 99679 Wait. Must've left it in the other pack. And there's a story for you |
| 99680 Keep talking and you'll be telling it to the demons of the Abyss. |
| 99681 Eh. Wasn't that good a story anyway. |
| 99682 ...and that's how I turned the Three Heads of Dannak into the Two-and-a-Half Heads of Dannak! |
| 99683 Why is it all your stories end with you hitting someone with an axe? |
| 99684 All the best stories end with someone getting hit with an axe! |
| 99685 A fine tale, dwarf. I'm reminded of the time I slew a pack of lycanthropes in the Wyrm Forest. |
| 99686 Oh, aye? What happened? |
| 99687 I slew a pack of werewolves in the Wyrm Forest. |
| 99688 Hah! Y'know how to tell a tale, I'll give ye that, half-orc! |
| 99689 You call that a tale? It was barely a sentence! |
| 99690 It's nice t' have someone in this wretched crew that understands the finer things in life. Like the many enjoyable ways there are to end it. |
| 99691 You and I are cut from the same cloth. We both know the sublime joy that can only be found in unrestrained slaughter. |
| 99692 Someday, you'n me'll have to sit down with an ale or two... dozen, an' then we'll really tell some tales. |
| 99693 Indeed. I look forward to it. |
| 99694 I would speak with you, paladin. |
| 99695 I am no paladin, as you well know. |
| 99696 Ah yes. The position is beyond your reach. I had forgotten. |
| 99697 I doubt that. |
| 99698 You wound me, dear lady. |
| 99699 I think it takes more than words to wound you. |
| 99700 You are right about that. |
| 99701 What do you want with me, half-orc? |
| 99702 I have an offer for you. |
| 99703 You have nothing I want. |
| 99704 My patron might. |
| 99705 What is You would tempt me to become a blackguard? |
| 99706 My patron is always looking for other beings to empower. |
| 99707 Other souls to corrupt, you mean. |
| 99708 I'll not deny it. |
| 99709 I'll deny you, you and your patron both. You insult my honor! |
| 99710 Far from it. To make such an offer is a sign of the deepest respect. |
| 99711 Go back to the Hell whence you came, beast! I want nothing to do with you! |
| 99712 Your loss. |
| 99713 Boo says he doesn't fully trust you, half-orc. |
| 99714 Your hamster should have more faith. |
| 99715 Giant space hamsters aren't easy to fool. |
| 99716 I'll do everything in my power to prove myself worthy of your hamster's trust. |
| 99717 You will? Good. That's good. |
| 99718 Madness... |
| 99719 I'm surprised you didn't cut Minsc's head off. |
| 99720 That was a remarkableâ€â€and uncharacteristicâ€â€show of restraint. |
| 99721 He's insane, but he has his uses. |
| 99722 There's no joy in matching wits with the witless. |
| 99723 The madman's more entertaining alive. |
| 99724 A man with no fear can be a useful tool indeed. |
| 99725 Boo says |
| 99726 Get out of my sight or by all that's unholy, I swear I'll eat your rat for breakfast! |
| 99727 I like you, Dorn. We've much in common. |
| 99728 High praise. |
| 99729 Indeed. It's a shame you're a fool. |
| 99730 Normally, I'd slay you for thatâ€â€but I imagine you're used to dying by now. |
| 99731 I'd never allow myself to be bound to an otherworldly master. |
| 99732 No. You're bound to <CHARNAME>. |
| 99733 I serve <PRO_HIMHER> only so long as <PRO_HESHE> serves my interests. |
| 99734 Tell it to someone else, Sarevok. Tell it to yourself, if it makes you feel better. I know the truth. |
| 99735 So here we are again. The distrusted, much-loathed outsiders. |
| 99736 Say what you will about <CHARNAME>, <PRO_HESHE>'s no fool. |
| 99737 You say only fools would trust us? |
| 99738 Only fools would trust us to go against our best interests. |
| 99739 Then we're in the company of fools, I fear. |
| 99740 They're fortunate that we're here to guide them. |
| 99741 But what will we guide them to? |
| 99742 Victory and power. What else is there? |
| 99743 There's love. |
| 99744 Love? Have you lost your mind, you |
| 99745 Ah. I get it now. |
| 99746 I had you going, though. |
| 99747 You did, I admit it. |
| 99748 I can't believe you fell for that. |
| 99749 I guess I'm just a fool for love. |
| 99750 A fool, at any rate. |
| 99751 Have mercy, drow! I admitted you got me. |
| 99752 I'll show you as much mercy as you show your enemies. |
| 99753 Gods help me. I'm doomed. |
| 99754 ...and so I threw him into the volcano! |
| 99755 Hah! |
| 99756 Well, what else COULD you do, really? |
| 99757 He could've thrown 'im off the volcano. |
| 99758 Off the volcano? What would be the point of that? |
| 99759 None that I can see, but you asked what else he could do. |
| 99760 I think we're all agreed the fool ended up where he belonged. |
| 99761 Got that right. |
| 99762 Ah! My loins ache to spill innocent blood. |
| 99763 Meself, I'd settle for some guilty blood. |
| 99764 I'm sure <CHARNAME> will give us ample opportunity to shed blood by the bucketful. |
| 99765 Yeah, but that's fer business. Where's the joy, I ask ye? |
| 99766 It's said that those who do what they love never work a day in their lives. |
| 99767 Y'know what I love? |
| 99768 The screams of your victims as you cleave them in twain? |
| 99769 Well, that too, but I was actually thinkin' of somethin' more in the tankard of ale area. Preferably served by a nice, jiggly bar wench. |
| 99770 Your words paint a pretty picture, dwarf. |
| 99771 A little abstract for my taste. |
| 99772 Fah! You just lack the imagination to visualize the scene. |
| 99773 I lack the ale and the bar wench. |
| 99774 Only for now. Some time soon, the three of us shall visit a tavern. |
| 99775 We'll drink and brawl till it's a smoking ruin! |
| 99776 Hah! I cannae wait! |
| 99777 I would have words with you, monk. |
| 99778 Say what you have to say, half-orc. |
| 99779 I come to you on behalf of my patron, Azothet. |
| 99780 I bring you an offer from my patron, Ur-Gothoz. |
| 99781 What would she want with me? |
| 99782 Why would he offer anything to me? |
| 99783 For many years, you have walked in Selûne's light. Now, you have chosen to enter darkness. She sees great promise in you. |
| 99784 For most of your life, you have walked in Selûne's light. Now, you have embarked down a path of darkness. He sees great potential in you. |
| 99785 I wish I could say I found that flattering. |
| 99786 You should. And you should hear what is being offered to you. |
| 99787 What is that? |
| 99788 Power. Great power. Power enough to defeat all who stand against you. Power enough to avenge your |
| 99789 Enough! Selûne may no longer look favorably upon me, but I'll not be tempted by a demon's promises. |
| 99790 When your enemies stand over your broken, dying body, you will wish you hadn't been so quick to reject my patron's gift. |
| 99791 That may be. But I will still have been right to do so. |
| 99792 A word, Hexxat? |
| 99793 Just one? I hope it isn't "die." |
| 99794 No. If anything, the word will be "please." |
| 99795 Please? I was led to believe that Dorn Il-Khan takes what he wants. |
| 99796 Some things cannot be taken by force. |
| 99797 A surprising admission, coming from someone of your background. |
| 99798 Damn it, woman! You know what I want. Would you make me beg? |
| 99799 An amusing notion, but no. |
| 99800 Then what must I do? |
| 99801 To become a vampire? Simple. Find one who's willing to turn you. |
| 99802 You would deny me? |
| 99803 You, and all who would willingly submit to this accursed existence. |
| 99804 I have much to offer... |
| 99805 You've nothing I want. |
| 99806 Hmm. If you change your mind, let me know. |
| 99807 If I do, I will. But I won't. |
| 99808 As you reach for her amulet, Hexxat quickly snatches it back and menacingly bares her teeth for a moment. |
| 99809 You can't be here without me, <CHARNAME>. Send me away and you send yourself. |
| 99810 Really? We're halfway across the world and that's it, you're finished? I thought you were better than that, <CHARNAME>. If you leave now, you won't be seeing me again. |
| 99811 Damn you, <CHARNAME>. I thought there was something more to you. |
| 99812 That's the plan. |
| 99813 It was all a misunderstanding. You're welcome to stay with me. |
| 99814 I can't think of anything I'd like better. Send me home, Hexxat. I'm done with you. |
| 99815 Well, when you put it like that, you make a really convincing case. Let's forget all this and keep moving. |
| 99816 You there! |
| 99817 I need something of yours, friend... |
| 99818 Wild Surge: Oops, a gate... Is that a pit fiend?! |
| 99819 Wild Surge: Monsters summoned |
| 99820 Wild Surge: Healed |
| 99821 Wild Surge: I feel refreshed. |
| 99822 I'm sorry, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, but the Order is temporarily closed for... repairs. There was an incident here recently, and we'd like to sort it out before we allow anyone in. |
| 99823 We'll begin with the pause feature. Pause the game at any time by tapping on the clock at the lower left of the screen. |
| 99824 Why don't you experiment with pausing right now by tapping on the clock and giving your character some movement commands? When you have finished, tap on me to resume our conversation. |
| 99825 Interaction with NPCs defaults to Talk for neutral targets and Attack for hostile ones. Talk to neutral characters (identified by blue circles) by tapping on them. |
| 99826 To attack hostile NPCs, simply tap on them. If you want to attack a neutral NPC, tap a Weapon icon from the bottom of your screen and tap on the target. |
| 99827 Let's test this out now. Tap on my servant and you will start a conversation. Servant Jospil! Come here at once. |
| 99828 You can look at your Inventory page by tapping and holding on your character portrait or by tapping the backpack icon on the left side of the screen. |
| 99829 Take a quick look at your Inventory page. To get out of your Inventory page, simply tap the Return to Game button at the top left of your screen. |
| 99830 Equip items by dragging them into the appropriate slots around your character on the Inventory page. |
| 99831 Once equipped, select the weapon by tapping on the Quick Weapon slot at the bottom of the main gameplay screen. A green box will appear around the weapon that is in your character's hands; an orange box indicates combat mode. |
| 99832 You haven't equipped your weapon yet. Remember, just tap and hold on your character portrait and you will find your weapon at the bottom of your screen in your inventory. |
| 99833 Tap and hold on the weapon and you will grab it. Drag it over to the character doll and tap again. |
| 99834 Good job! It's time for us to go upstairs now. If you tap on the stairs, you'll notice that the stairs icon appears. |
| 99835 When an icon like that appears, it means that you are about to perform an action other than moving. |
| 99836 If you tap on the stairs, your character will walk over to the stairs and move up to the next level. |
| 99837 To assist in recording important information, many details will automatically be entered in your Journal. To access the Journal, tap the Quill icon on the left side of the screen. |
| 99838 Now I want you to check your Map screen. To access it, tap the Map icon, second from the top on the left side of your screen. This will show a view of the area you are currently in. |
| 99839 Once on the Map screen, you will notice a World Map icon at the top right. Tapping this will take you to the world map, which displays all of the game areas you currently know about. |
| 99840 You may also annotate your Map screen by tapping and holding where want to make a note. Your cursor will change, and you can type a short message to yourself. |
| 99841 Another page you might be interested in is the character sheet. This can be accessed by tapping on the head icon on the left side of the screen. |
| 99842 You can access even more formation types by tapping on one of the formation buttons. |
| 99843 Tap my Cast Spell button, choose a spell, and tap on your target. My Cast Spell button is the spell icon on the bottom of the screen. You need to have me selected for you to have access to my spells. |
| 99844 You haven't cast the spell yet. Tap my Cast Spell button, choose a spell, and tap on your target. If you don't have the spell memorized, then you can rest to memorize it. |
| 99845 Any spellcaster (besides Sorcerers) must memorize spells using the Rest button on the left panel after choosing their spells on the Mage Book or Priest Scroll pages. To get to these pages, tap and hold on your character portrait and then select the Mage Book or Priest Scroll icon that appears on the left edge of the screen. |
| 99846 Choose the spells you want to memorize and then tap on the Rest button. Once your rest is completed, you will have memorized all of your spells. |
| 99847 To use this ability, you must tap the Thieving button on the bottom of the screen. This button obviously won't be there if a Thief is not selected first. The Thieving icon is an eye mask, which Thieves are occasionally known to wear. |
| 99848 Once you've selected the Thieving button, tap on the person whose pocket you want to pick. |
| 99849 You haven't got the gem yet. What's taking you so long? To use this ability, you must press the Thieving button on the bottom of the screen. Once you've selected the Thieving button, tap on the person you want to pickpocket. Remember: The Thieving button is represented by an eye-mask icon. Steal the gem from Belt! |
| 99850 To disarm a trap, you must press the Thieving button. You must then tap on the red highlighted trap. Watch out! If you fail in disarming the trap, the trap might be sprung. |
| 99851 What's taking you so long to disarm the trap?! Hurry up! Remember, to disarm a trap, you must press the Thieving button. You must then tap on the red highlighted trap. The Thieving button is represented by an eye-mask icon. |
| 99852 The next ability you need to learn is the ability to Open Locks. To pick a lock, you must select the Thieving button and then tap on whatever locked container you want to open. Once again, the Thieving button is represented by an eye-mask icon. |
| 99853 What's taking you so long?! To pick a lock, you must select the Thieving button and then tap on whatever locked container you want to open. Once again, the Thieving button is represented by an eye-mask icon. |
| 99854 You will notice that at the bottom of the screen is a Stealth button. Simply tap the button and your character will attempt to "hide in shadows." The Stealth button is represented by a face half in shadows. |
| 99855 To set a trap, you must first access your special abilities. This is done by tapping the Special Ability button on the bottom right of your screen. This button has a four-cornered star icon. |
| 99856 When you press the Special Abilities button, it should bring up all of your special skills. One of those skills will be marked "Set Snares." Simply press the button and then tap on the point where you want to set the trap. |
| 99857 This is a potion of extra healing. To use a potion, simply tap and hold on it, and then press "Drink." You can also place your potion in your Quick Item slot and use it from there. |
| 99858 Hey there! Wasn't that easy? What I'm going to do now is turn hostile. My circle will turn red, and then you can tap on me to attack. |
| 99859 Select my (Xan's) Cast Spell button, choose a spell, and tap on your target. My Cast Spell button is the Spell icon on the bottom of the screen. You need to have me (Xan) selected for you to have access to my spells. |
| 99860 You can also configure Quick Spells by tapping and holding on a Quick Spell slot. This summons a list of memorized spells to choose. If no spells are listed, the character either does not have any spells memorized or cannot cast until higher levels. |
| 99861 To cast the Quick Spell, tap on the appropriate Quick Spell slot and then select your target. |
| 99862 You haven't cast a spell on Belt yet. Select my (Xan's) Cast Spell button, choose a spell, and tap on your target. |
| 99863 Choose the spells you want to memorize and then tap on the Rest button. Once your rest is completed, you will have memorized all of your spells. |
| 99864 Tap and hold on the scroll and it will bring you to the Item History screen. On the bottom of the screen, you will find a button that says "Write Magic." Tap this and your Mage (me) will now be able to cast Flame Arrow (once I memorize it that is). |
| 99865 You haven't had me learn the spell yet. Remember, just tap and hold on the scroll, then tap the Write Magic button on the bottom of the Item History page. |
| 99866 Good job. Now I'm going to teach you how to identify items. When you find a magical item, you won't automatically know what it does. To find out, you must first tap and hold on the item. |
| 99867 On the bottom of the item's history screen, you will find a button labeled "Identify." Tap on this. If whoever has the item in their inventory has an Identify spell memorized or has an Identify scroll, then the item will be identified. |
| 99868 You have not identified the shield yet. To identify the shield, please tap and hold on it and then choose the Identify option. |
| 99869 There is a locked chest on the west side of this floor. Use my abilities to pick the lock of the chest and steal the gem inside. To aid in finding chests and other containers, you can use the Hint button. The Hint button is at the bottom left of the screen and has a magnifying glass over a barrel. When you tap this button, objects that you can interact with will be highlighted for a moment. |
| 99870 You haven't equipped your weapon yet. Remember, just tap the Inventory button on the left side of the screen and you will find your weapon at the bottom of your screen in your inventory. |
| 99871 I'm wounded. You should use Branwen's Cure Wounds spells to heal me. |
| 99872 Tutorial Retrieve the star sapphire for Belt. Once you have obtained the star sapphire, return upstairs to speak with Belt and end the tutorial. You will need to use many different abilities in searching for the star sapphire. Be sure to use the Hint button in the lower left portion of the screen to highlight chests and other objects that you can interact with. If you would like to start over once you have entered the basement, you can load your Auto Save. |
| 99873 This is a potion of extra healing. To use a potion, simply RIGHT-CLICK on it, and then press "Drink." You can also place your potion in your Quick Item slot and use it from there. |
| 99874 This is a potion of extra healing. To use a potion, simply tap, hold, and release on it, and then press "Drink." You can also place your potion in your Quick Item slot and use it from there. |
| 99875 Let's test this out now. Tap on my servant and you will start a conversation. Servant Jospil! Come here at once. |
| 99876 When you unpause, your characters will carry out the orders you have given. If you do not use the pause feature, you may find the game very difficult to play. |
| 99877 But before you leave, it is my duty to make sure you are prepared for what awaits you in the world of Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. |
| 99878 Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition uses 2nd edition AD&D rules. This might seem overwhelming at first, but I will familiarize you with the basic rules and interface of the game. |
| 99879 I am. What can I do for you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 99880 Give her back, Bodhi! |
| 99881 Neera! Where'd you take her? |
| 99882 You've made a grave mistake, vampire. It will be your last. |
| 99883 â€â€take me, you creepy Wait. <CHARNAME>, she got you too? |
| 99884 She tried to teleport meâ€â€I felt a surge come on. The next thing I know, I'm standing here with you and she... isn't. |
| 99885 I hate relying on luck, but I'd hate being stuck with a vampire more. |
| 99886 Er, no offense, Hexxat. |
| 99887 None taken. |
| 99888 She didn't get you? |
| 99889 What's going on? |
| 99890 She got nothing. |
| 99891 The surge must have interfered with her spell. Lucky for us. |
| 99892 There are times I love wild surges. Come on, let's get out of here. |
| 99893 Count yourself fortunate. I doubt you would have enjoyed your time with Bodhi. |
| 99894 Speak to me. |
| 99895 I've no time for chitchat, <RACE>. The meeting is behind me, in the amphitheater. |
| 99896 Go to the temple, <GABBER>. The others await you there. |

| 99898 You suddenly feel overencumbered and are unable to move forward. |
| 99899 The Scroll of Retribution gives off a faint glow. Had you some ink and sand, you could make an alteration or two. |
| 99900 We can help each other, Rasaad. Will you join me? |
| 99901 Good luck with your quest, Rasaad. I fear you'll need it. |
| 99902 Only a fool would try to tempt me from Selûne. |
| 99903 We can help each other, Rasaad. Will you join me? |
| 99904 Good luck with your quest, Rasaad. I fear you'll need it. |

| 99907 Head outside, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. You can congratulate my sister afterwards. |
| 99908 Found amongst the crystals spawning in a remote corner of Resurrection Gorge, there's something about this smooth piece of wood that makes you think it's more than simply a stick. Perhaps it's the shapeâ€â€though that's unlikely, as there are many similarly shaped sticks to be found under nearly any treeâ€â€or the way the bark has been removed and the surface carefully polished to a smooth finish. But most likely what's intriguing you about the stick is the way the air around itâ€â€and WITHIN itâ€â€glitters with an unnatural light. Yes, now that you think about it, the glittering is definitely what sets this apart from other, more mundane sticks. There's definitely something different... something fabulous... about this one.

To get to these pages, tap and hold on your character portrait and then select the Mage Book or Priest Scroll icon that appears on the left edge of the screen. |
| 99912 I'll give you a few seconds to try all of this out. |
| 99913 You! You stained it! My glitter no longer shines BECAUSE OF YOU! |
| 99914 What're you looking at? |
| 99915 Be about your business. |
| 99916 Helm help me, this job is dull. |
| 99917 'Tis a beautiful day, is it not? No, don't spoil it by talking, please. |
| 99918 If I ever see that bloody dwarf again, I'll skin the little tosser aliveâ€â€what? What're you looking at? Go, get out of here. Go! |
| 99919 May Helm protect you, traveler. |
| 99920 Helm's servants are ever vigilant. You see anything suspicious, you let me know, all right? |
| 99921 Patience, strength, and above all, vigilance. |
| 99922 I don't like the look of you, stranger. Watch yourself. |
| 99923 I respect the sentiment, but you're in no condition to fight. |
| 99924 Hold, dwarf. You need to approach this strategically if you're to survive the <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 99925 For Deepstone, YOU'LL die if you aren't careful. |
| 99926 What would ye have us do, then? Cringe like mice an' wait for the Sharrans t' kill us all? |
| 99927 Follow my lead. If we work together, the Sharrans will fall as surely as the snow in winter. |
| 99928 Head back into the mines and seek out your kinsmen. Strike together as a clenched fist rather than a collection of loose fingers, easily broken. |
| 99929 Go find your friends and family. I'll take care of the Sharrans. |
| 99930 Aye, that makes some sense. But what'll ye do in the meantime? |
| 99931 Finish this. |
| 99932 I've some unfinished business with Alorgoth. But it's not going to be unfinished long. |
| 99933 That's no concern of yours. Go. |
| 99934 All right then. Lead the way! |
| 99935 Pshaw! What do ye take us for, gnomes? |
| 99936 You wish you were gnomes... |
| 99937 These Sharrans have trespassed in our home. They must pay the price! |
| 99938 They will. I'll see to it. |
| 99939 You try and fight them now and you're the ones who'll pay for it. Haven't you lost enough already? |
| 99940 They'll pay the price at my hand, dwarf. Not yours. |
| 99941 They'll pay the price all right. But at my hand, not yours. |
| 99942 Maybe <PRO_HESHE>'s right, Bentaxe. We're in no shape for a fight. |
| 99943 I don't want to hear none o' that! This is our home, an' I'll tour each o' the Nine Hells personally before I let another fight fer it! |
| 99944 Fight with me, then. We can beat the Sharrans together. |
| 99945 You're as stubborn as an incredibly stubborn mule. Very well, then. We'll take the Sharrans together. Follow me. |
| 99946 I'll send you to the Nine Hells if you get in my way. |
| 99947 Let's see you try it, then! |
| 99948 I grieve for my kinsman Bentaxe's death, but the thought of vengeance drove him to madness. Ye had no choice in doin' what ye did. |
| 99949 What would ye have us do now? |
| 99950 When I attack the Sharrans, join me. Together, we shall crush them. |
| 99951 Go now. You're in no condition to fight. Be with your families. We'll finish the Sharrans. |
| 99952 Do as you will, but don't get in my way. |
| 99953 Well, Brightaxe be wi' ye, then. Farewell. |

| 99958 What?! Who are you? Where did you come from? You're after my mistress, aren't you? |
| 99959 Yes. Do not attempt to hinder us. What can you tell us? |
| 99960 No, we are here to help her. We hear that assassins are after her. |
| 99961 Yes, and that means we need to keep you quiet. Sorry. |
| 99962 Iâ€â€I can't! I can't tell you anything. |
| 99963 Yes, she warned the household that assassins would soon be coming for herâ€â€assassins matching your description. |
| 99964 Please do not kill me, though. I am just a lowly slave. |
| 99965 We have no quarrel with you, only your mistress: She has killed many of our friends. Please. If you have ever known Vicross to be unjust, think of that and help us. |
| 99966 You may be a lowly slave, but you can still raise an alarm. Tell us what we need to know or we will kill you. |
| 99967 Then we will leave you in peace and trust that you won't raise the alarm. |
| 99968 I am sorry. This is the only way. |
| 99969 It'sâ€â€it's true. She killed Izer, my husband. I have no love for her. |
| 99970 Very well. Vicross is meeting with her lieutenants in the courtyard, and her other guards keep watch in the rooms around the courtyard's perimeter. If you can deal with the guards in each of these rooms first |
| 99971 I see. She will be unable to call for them, and if we deal with them quickly, they will be unable to raise an alarm themselves. |
| 99972 Go on. |
| 99973 Deal with them? How? |
| 99974 Thank you, thank you! I shall remember this kindness and wait quietly in the slaves' quarters untilâ€â€until whatever comes to pass. |
| 99975 Correct. |
| 99976 They won't be able to help Vicross. If you do it fast enough, you can probably keep them from raising an alarm too. |
| 99977 Coming upon them unawares and attacking swiftly. |
| 99978 Do not worry. I will raise no alarm myself. Now I goâ€â€whichever side the gods favor, I do not want to witness the coming battle. |
| 99979 A dwarf named Mironda said you recently received a cask of an ale she'd like to try. |
| 99980 Right! Good old Mironda. I know what she must be looking forâ€â€a nice wheat beer out of Luiren called Halfling's Help. Usually, I don't sell drink by the cask, but Mironda's a good sort. I'll let you have it for 50 gold pieces. |

| 99994 The military pick originated from the common mining tool. It consists of a heavy piercing fluke mounted on a haft. Its role in combat is to puncture heavier armors, even full plate.

| 99996 The dwarves are fond of these weapons for obvious reasons: They are perfect for digging precious gems from the earth. Pickaxes are also ideal for piercing heavy armor, even full plate. The dwarves make their picks from a strong, light alloy of unknown properties. This metal keeps a sharp edge even after vigorous mining or combat.

| 99997 Hexxat's request I assisted the ghostly monks tasked with guarding the Shou Lung tomb with clearing a mind flayer infestation out of their Crypt of Scholars. Their leader had promised me access to the rest of the tomb in exchange for my help, but when he was destroyed, his subordinates were unwilling to fulfill his end of the bargain. So I destroyed them as well. |

| 100000 It is gratifying to be fighting alongside you, <CHARNAME>. I am glad at least one in our order has not forsaken me. |
| 100001 The Selûnites represent only a small fraction of the order. You still hold to the Precepts of Incandescence. You are my brother, and I will always stand by you. |
| 100002 Your sect will come to understand why you have done what you've done someday, Rasaad. |
| 100003 Forget the Selûnites. Their idiocy will cost them dearly. |
| 100004 I have not forsaken you yet, Rasaad. But don't think I support you in your actions. I've yet to decide how I feel about all this. |
| 100005 I appreciate that more than I can say. |
| 100006 This time, I am not so sure. |
| 100007 I fear it may. |
| 100008 I appreciate your honesty. |
| 100009 I will prove to you the righteousness of my course. You will see. |
| 100010 The last few weeks and months have been difficult for me. I have even wondered if Selûne's light is entirely lost to me. |
| 100011 Standing by your side has shown me otherwise. Thank you. |
| 100012 Any time, my friend. |
| 100013 Glad I could help. |
| 100014 Thank YOU. |
| 100015 You need never thank me, <CHARNAME>. You have done more for me than I can ever repay. Yet I will try. |
| 100016 May I speak with you, <CHARNAME>? |
| 100017 Of course, Rasaad. |
| 100018 I doubt I could stop you... |
| 100019 Not now. |
| 100020 I have noticed... Anomen has been eyeing you of late. Eyeing you with some fervor. |
| 100021 What of it? |
| 100022 Jealous? |
| 100023 Anomen eyes a lot of women. |
| 100024 Have I something to be jealous of? |
| 100025 He is a tempestuous man, brave and courageous to a fault. I am glad to call him friend. |
| 100026 But... |
| 100027 It pains me to ask this, but I have to know. Do you have feelings for him, <CHARNAME>? |
| 100028 I'm sorry, Rasaad. I do. |
| 100029 You HAVE to know? Why? |
| 100030 Anomen? Gods, no! |
| 100031 I... I am glad you told me. I hope he gives you what you are looking for. |
| 100032 You know why. |
| 100033 <CHARNAME>? Is he the one? |
| 100034 He is. |
| 100035 It's not him. I don't think so, anyway. |
| 100036 Never. Not him. |
| 100037 I am glad to hear that. Thank you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100038 I am glad to hear that. For the moment, anyway. |

| 100040 Talisman of the Hearthfire A halfling mage, Knocktor the Fizzled, is running out of ingredients required to craft Talismans of the Hearthfire, magical trinkets that can instantly teleport their owner to the Hidden Refuge. He has asked if I have a silver necklace, two diamonds, and 3,000 gold pieces to spare. |
| 100041 Talisman of the Hearthfire I have brought Knocktor what he had asked for. He was able to craft a Talisman and gave it to me. It may come in handy should I ever need to get to the Refuge quickly. |
| 100042 Talisman of the Hearthfire I gave my Talisman of the Hearthfire to Daxus. That should get him to the Refuge safely and in no time. |

| 100055 Ring of the Zulkir |
| 100056 This ring, unpleasantly cold to the touch, is made of gleaming electrum and set with a large, ovoid black onyx. For many years, it belonged to Szass Tamâ€â€as many years, in fact, as Tam had been zulkir of necromancy before meeting the Bhaalspawn <CHARNAME>. Szass Tam was dismayed to find it missing after the Bhaalspawn nearly defeated him in battle, though not as dismayed as he was by the near defeat itself. The Ring of the Zulkir's protective powers are appropriate for those who deal with the dead, though its last two ownersâ€â€a vampire and a lich, respectivelyâ€â€benefited more from the considerable powers it grants practicing archmages. |

| 100062 You and the monk. |
| 100063 If you would be mine, you must be mine alone. |
| 100064 Good. |
| 100065 You are no object. But you do belong to me, as I do to you. |
| 100066 And the monk? |
| 100067 So be it. You will come to regret this, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100068 Decide whom you want, now. I'll not be anyone's second choice. |
| 100069 Me and Rasaad? What about us? |
| 100070 Are none of your business. |
| 100071 Definitely not. |
| 100072 I'm a person, Dorn. Not some object to be possessed. |
| 100073 You know I am yours. You do know that, right? |
| 100074 Then we are through. |
| 100075 You really are quite the romantic, aren't you? |
| 100076 We don't owe each other anything. |
| 100077 Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. |
| 100078 Means nothing to me. |
| 100079 He is... intriguing. |
| 100080 And I won't respond positively to ultimatums. |
| 100081 If I must choose, I would choose you, of course. |
| 100082 You would challenge me, elf? |
| 100083 Iâ€â€I don't know what you mean. |
| 100084 <CHARNAME>. You desire him. But he will be mine. |
| 100085 <CHARNAME> would n-never want a monster like you! |
| 100086 Hah! I may be a monster, but you are a gnat. Get in my way and I will squash you. |
| 100087 You just try! |
| 100088 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100089 You are no better than she. To Hells with you! |
| 100090 But... but I thought... |
| 100091 What you thought is of no consequence. If you value your life, you will leave him to me. |
| 100092 No! I won't. |
| 100093 You are not the man I thought you were, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100094 I wish you the best, but I cannot be around this fiend any longer. Goodbye, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100095 And good riddance. |
| 100096 ENOUGH! Aerie is a brave, beautiful woman. I'll not let you demean her, Dorn. |
| 100097 Stop it, Dorn. You know my affections lie with you. |
| 100098 Excellent. It's only fitting you prove your love for me in battle. |
| 100099 You'll not have her, cur. |
| 100100 Said the halfling to the giant. |
| 100101 I've bested giants before. |
| 100102 You'll not best this one. |
| 100103 Tell me you have no intention of courting this half-orc, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100104 Then I will take my leave. I cannot look this murderous brute in the face every day, knowing you are his. Fare thee well. |
| 100105 You've made the right decision, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100106 You'll regret this decision, <CHARNAME>. He'll disappoint you in ways I never would. |
| 100107 The only thing she'll regret is placing her trust in you, dog. |
| 100108 We will see. |
| 100109 Would you two like some privacy...? |
| 100110 Dorn, leave Anomen alone. He should get used to it from now on. |
| 100111 Anomen, you've no need to prove yourself to me. |
| 100112 I've more than an intention, Anomen. |
| 100113 None whatsoever. What in the Nine Hells gave you the idea I'd want to do that? |
| 100114 <CHARNAME>, do you think it wise to spend so much time with Dorn? He seems to have taken an unhealthy interest in you. |
| 100115 He is not to be trusted. |
| 100116 He is a murderous half-orc with an unquenchable bloodlust. He is incapable of the feelings you and I possess. |
| 100117 If you intend to take up with a barbaric half-orc, I must end this. |
| 100118 I am relieved to hear that, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100119 I am glad Gorion did not live to see this. |
| 100120 Oh, I think it's quite healthy. |
| 100121 Wise? No. But fun. |
| 100122 Is it any business of yours? |
| 100123 I'll make my own decisions, Jaheira. |
| 100124 I don't have feelings for him, if that's what you're asking. |
| 100125 Dorn and I are alike in more ways than one. |
| 100126 Then it's fortunate I have no such intention. |
| 100127 End it, then. |
| 100128 The half-orc has taken an interest in you. |
| 100129 Do you return hisâ€â€let's call them affections? |
| 100130 You are not completely senseless, then. Good. |
| 100131 That you would even consider the kitrye-cretok proves your idiocy. We are through, abbil. |
| 100132 I should have known. That you would consider the kitrye-cretok proves your idiocy. We are through, abbil. |
| 100133 He has? |
| 100134 Yes. I noticed. It's kind of hard to miss, really. |
| 100135 As I have in him. |
| 100136 Don't be ridiculous. |
| 100137 If you want to call them affections, then I don't know the answer. |
| 100138 There's something about him I find hard to resist... |
| 100139 I would know your intentions towards my lady <CHARNAME>, vampire. |
| 100140 My intentions? |
| 100141 If you touch so much as a hair on her head, I swear by Helm, I will end you. |
| 100142 I may touch more than that, if she desires it. |
| 100143 Well, my lady <CHARNAME>? Tell this parasite you want nothing to do with her. |
| 100144 It would seem the lady has made her choice. |
| 100145 Friends? With this monster? I would rather die. I would much rather see her die, permanently this time. |
| 100146 You disappoint me, <CHARNAME>. But I am used to disappointment. If you would be with him, far be it from me to stand in your way. |
| 100147 You would choose thisâ€â€this vile perversion of life over me? You disgust me, <CHARNAME>. Goodbye, and good riddance. |
| 100148 Fare thee well, Anomen. It's been a pleasure. |
| 100149 Whatever it is, I hope it makes you happy. |
| 100150 Watch yourself, vampire. |
| 100151 I am no lady of yours, Anomen. |
| 100152 Calm yourself, Anomen. We're all friends here. |
| 100153 You know I am yours, Anomen. |
| 100154 Please forgive Anomen, Hexxat. He is headstrong and terribly rude. I don't know what I see in him. |
| 100155 Stay or leave, the choice is yours. But if you would stay, you must learn to accept Hexxat. |
| 100156 Keep your eyes to yourself, vampire. |
| 100157 You're hardly my type, Dorn. |
| 100158 Do not play games with me. <CHARNAME> is mine. |
| 100159 You think she is something to be possessed? |
| 100160 I think she is something you will never possess while I live. |
| 100161 Your loss. |
| 100162 You would take this leech as a lover? So be it. |
| 100163 I'll enjoy seeing her drain your lifeblood and toss you aside for her next victim. |
| 100164 It may happen. Someday. But that day will be a long time coming, half-orc. I doubt you'll live to see it. |
| 100165 If you would be mine, <CHARNAME>, you must be mine alone. |
| 100166 So you would rather the vampire? Pfah. |
| 100167 I'm surprised, <CHARNAME>. I never took you for the suicidal type. |
| 100168 I'm sorry, Hexxat. Dorn and I share something special. |
| 100169 You presume too much, Dorn. |
| 100170 Come now. Surely the three of us can reach an accommodation... |
| 100171 I am nobody's, Dorn. Certainly not yours. |
| 100172 Then I am yours. |
| 100173 You and Hexxat are becoming close of late. |
| 100174 Remember the bones of those young women in Dragomir's Tomb. Remember what happened to the woman you once called Hexxat. |
| 100175 Promise me you won't get involved with her, <CHARNAME>. I would not see you tossed aside like those others she has used. |
| 100176 Risking death excites you? I did not think you so reckless. |
| 100177 I am glad to hear it. |
| 100178 I hope you will not regret it. |
| 100179 You've noticed. |
| 100180 She intrigues me. |
| 100181 Me and the vampire? Are you kidding? No. |
| 100182 I remember them all too well. |
| 100183 What's life without a little excitement? |
| 100184 Everyone dies, Rasaad. Fools die quicker than most. |
| 100185 Don't worry. I have no such plans. |
| 100186 It's a risk I'm willing to take. |

| 100189 This cloak was crafted and imbued with powerful undead magic by the necromancer Zulann Fass while she was in the employ of the warlord Dragomir. Dragomir had been turned to vampirism and, not wanting to leave his previous life behind, demanded that Zulann craft a magical garment that would allow him to travel in the light of the sun without being destroyed. While Zulann was successful, the cloak severely dampened many of the vampiric abilities that Dragomir had come to enjoy. For this inconvenience, she was drained of her lifeblood by Dragomir and left to die. The cloak has been strengthened with further enchantments, courtesy of the mysterious L. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Allows a vampire to travel outside during the day and in full view of the sun, albeit with the following penalties: Strength: -5 Dexterity: -2 Intelligence: -2 Wisdom: -2 Charisma: -3 Wearable only by vampires.

| 100190 You have made your decision, <CHARNAME>. I hope you don't come to regret it. Undeath nearly destroyed me; godhood, I suspect, is a heavier burden still. |
| 100191 You've made a difficult decision, <CHARNAME>, but it is the right one. Undeath is a burden that nearly destroyed meâ€â€who knows what changes godhood would entail? Who in their right mind would WANT to know? |
| 100192 YES! Take what is rightfully yours! Take the power, become a god, and know that I, Dorn Il-Khan, am the first and most devoted worshipper of <CHARNAME>, <PRO_LADYLORD> of Murder! |
| 100193 <CHARNAME>! You have the power of a god at your fingertips and you do not take it? Hmm. I would call you a foolâ€â€but you'd be a greater fool still to have left my side. I am... pleased with your decision. |
| 100194 So this is it, huh? Everything we've been through and then you become a god and it's over? |
| 100195 I guess I'm not surprised. But disappointed? Yeah, I'm a little disappointed. |
| 100196 Farewell, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100197 You're staying with me instead of becoming a god. That's crazy. You're insane. INSANE. |
| 100198 I guess that's why I love you. That and... you know. That thing you do. |
| 100199 You would leave me, <CHARNAME>? Aye. Of course you wouldâ€â€you must. You have guided me through darkness; how many more could you help as a god? My selfish heart wants you to stay with me, but I know this is what you must do. |
| 100200 You spurn godhood, <CHARNAME>? You would remain with me? Iâ€â€I do not know what to say... |
| 100201 Know this, though: Each day, and every day we are together, I will do everything in my power to earn the honor you have given me. |
| 100202 Never mind. Stay. |

If two or more Charms simultaneously affect a creature, the most recent Charm takes precedence. Note that the subject will be hostile when the Charm expires, regardless of its original attitude.

| 100436 [Faulty]Wand of Mazes |
| 100437 This Wand of Mazes can cause a headache for any unintelligent individual, as the target of this wand is banished into a maze-like dimension until they can puzzle out a way to escape. Like all wands, the Wand of Mazes can only be used a limited number of times before it is destroyed. This particular wand has some strange notches that don't seem to tie in with the primary magical enchantment. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Causes enemies to vanish into a shifting labyrinth as in the spell Maze. Range: 100 ft. Area of Effect: 20-ft. radius Duration: 15 rounds Weight: 5 |
| 100438 [Faulty]Bane of the Abyss +4 |
| 100439 Few mages will attempt to construct a weapon that specifically targets demons or devils, and even fewer would put it to the test. Halrass Daystar of Sembia is one such mage, and his efforts were instrumental in driving back an errantly summoned devil that threatened to wipe out an entire village. Though Halrass succeeded in defeating the devil, years later he was targeted for revenge and, to this day, toils endlessly in the nine hells. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – 50% chance of immediately banishing a struck demon or devil to their home plane.

| 100440 [Faulty]Ring of Protection from Evil |
| 100441 Faced with a neverending siege by the drow, the dwarves of the Blackstone clanhold commissioned the creation of several Rings of Protection from Evil, to be crafted by traveling svirfneblin mages. The rings were delivered on time, but failed to make any impact as the drow did not attack, but rather starved the dwarves into submission. While the rings were never tested, they quickly found their way into the markets within the Underdark. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Protection from Evil on all party members once per day Weight: 0 |
| 100442 Disintegrated Item |
| 100443 Whatever this item was, it is now a pile of odorous dust. |
| 100444 Drowbasla |
| 100445 Some swords have epic histories full of song and fire; others find their mundane origins within the heart of a small town forge. This sword, named for the word etched into the side of the dull metal blade, has no history. There are no records, no references, no mentions of it in any history anywhere. But it cuts down the drow with stunning efficiency. Whether this lack of a history is by design or not is unknown, but anyone who possesses this sword and is faced with hostile drow forces does not seem to care. STATISTICS: THAC0: +3 Damage: 1d6+3, +6 vs. drow Damage type: Piercing Speed Factor: 2 Proficiency Type: Short Sword Type: One-handed Requires: 5 Strength Weight: 2 |

| 100448 Stirv's Wrangler +2 |
| 100449 While he didn't construct the staff, Stirv has had it so long he doesn't rightly recall where he obtained it. He would often set out some bait in the woods and wait for a wild animal's approach. Upon spotting the beast, he would use the staff's magic to capture it unharmed. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Otiluke's Resilient Sphere once per day Range: 40 ft. Duration: 1 turn THAC0: +2 Damage: 1d6+2 (crushing) Speed Factor: 2 Proficiency Type: Quarterstaff Type: Two-handed Requires: 5 Strength Weight: 4 |
| 100450 I've met Stirv the creature wrangler. He's willing to "rent" wild animals for combat training. While the prospect of mercilessly beating a bear is distasteful, it may spell the difference between life and death in the arena. |
| 100451 The Winged's Gauntlet |
| 100452 This finely crafted, highly polished metal gauntlet is covered in runes you cannot understand. It is a beautiful piece, but you become increasingly lightheaded the longer you stare at it. The enchantments placed upon this gauntlet allow the wearer to parry melee attacks with exceptional skill. Furthermore, attackers engaging the wearer in close combat will be damaged by a surge of magical energy. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +5 bonus vs. all melee attacks – Retribution: An opponent that hits the wearer with any weapons or spells within a 5-ft. radius suffers 2d4 points of magic damage.

| 100486 Is there anything I need to know about Dormamus's room? |
| 100487 Is Joker's room as messy as she tends to be? |
| 100488 What of Dennaton's room? |

| 100495 What are Dennaton's quarters like? |
| 100496 Okay, which one of you Nosers made a mess in here? The scrolls are all scattered about. It'll take me HOURS to get them back in place! |
| 100497 If he stays out of my way, he'll be fine. |
| 100498 I disagree. We should strike at Dennaton first. |
| 100499 Wait. I need to finish something before we reveal our hand. |
| 100500 Let's go! Start the uprising! |
| 100501 If Tartle stays out of the way, he'll live. If he doesn't, he will die. It's that simple. |
| 100502 Tartle must pay for his crimes. Justice demands it. |
| 100503 No. We hit Dennaton first. |
| 100504 There's something I must finish before we play our hand. |
| 100505 You may be right. Give me a moment. I need to finish something before we make our move. |
| 100506 Let the rebellion begin! |
| 100507 All right. Give me a moment. I need to finish something before we begin our assault. |
| 100508 Very well. Let's have ourselves an uprising! |
| 100509 You've had a nice run, <CHARNAME>, but this is as far as you go. I'll not let you destroy what Dennaton and I have worked so hard to achieve. |
| 100510 Of course not, <CHARNAME>. There's no such thing as equality in this world… except in the arena. Only in the struggle for life are all made equal. |
| 100511 You are a fool, <CHARNAME>. There is no freedom but death, no life but combat. |
| 100512 Yes, the time I have been waiting for has come! I've little doubt you shall prove a worthy foe, <CHARNAME>. Let us now test our mettle in glorious combat! |
| 100513 You have me wrong, <CHARNAME>. I neither need nor want "equality." It is respect that motivates me, and as Dennaton's right-hand halfling, I shall have it, even if it is only a reflection off him. |
| 100514 You have me wrong, <CHARNAME>. I neither need nor want "freedom." It is respect that motivates me, and as Dennaton's right-hand halfling, I shall have it, even if it is only a reflection of him. |
| 100515 Because there are no other options for me. I cannot go back to my life as it was before here! The others laughing at me... Brodle lording it all over me. I won't do it, I tell you, I WON'T! |
| 100516 Be that as it may, I have no other choice. I cannot go back to my life as it was before here! The others laughing at me… I won't do it. I can't, can I? |
| 100517 Brodle did that? Really? I… I had no idea he had it in him. Perhaps I misjudged him… No, it is too late for any of that! Any future I have is now with Dennaton. He is the one I must follow. |
| 100518 Brodle did that? Really? I… I had no idea he had it in him. Perhaps I misjudged him… |
| 100519 I don't know what to do. I just don't know! I… I… Oh, this arena is through, I see that now. You are determined to destroy it, and my only chance lies in getting out of your way. Very well. You shall get no further resistance from me. |
| 100520 I don't know what to do. I just don't know! I… I… Oh, this arena is through, I see that now. But if it must end, then I'll die with it! |
| 100521 Yes, there's no point in further delaying the inevitable. I shall revel in your death, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100522 Tartle is a weakling and a fool, but I shall not be cowed so easily, <CHARNAME>! We shall fight, you and I. One of us shall walk away, and the other shall be carried out on their shield. |
| 100523 After all those pretty words, <CHARNAME>, we still stand where we were. Come, we shall fight. One of us will walk away; the other shall be carried out. |
| 100524 Who I really am, <CHARNAME>, is a gladiator. Now defend yourself. |
| 100525 I am nobody's "fool"! And yet… there is something to what you say. If I take up arms in defense of Dennaton, I will have lived and died as his pawn. No, Dennaton will use me no longer. The next time I fight in an arena, it will be by my own choosing and for my own glory. Very well, <CHARNAME>, the field is yours. I shall hinder you no further. |
| 100526 Gladly. Let us make our match one for the ages! |
| 100527 Haximus, where are you� Fine then! Run away if you must! I shall fight on alone if need be! Come then, <CHARNAME>, and defend yourself! |
| 100528 Well, if you're not staying, neither are we. We're not paid enough to deal with the likes of <PRO_HIMHER>! |
| 100529 Don't be a fool, Tartle. You and Dennaton are no team. He does notâ€â€and never willâ€â€consider you an equal. |
| 100530 Join me, Tartle. This is your only real chance for freedom. |
| 100531 Glad I found you, Tartle. I was beginning to worry you'd get away before I could kill you. |
| 100532 Dennaton's careerâ€â€and quite possibly his lifeâ€â€are over. Why go down with him? |
| 100533 Brodle made me promise not to harm you. I'll keep my word if you don't interfere. |
| 100534 You will get no respect if you're dead. Out of my way! |
| 100535 No more talking, Tartle. Time to die. |
| 100536 Dennaton's career, and quite possibly his life, are over. Why hitch your wagon to that? |
| 100537 Brodle made me promise not to harm you. Stay out of my way and I'll keep my word. |
| 100538 You'll get no respect if you're dead. Get out of my way! |
| 100539 All you'll have is a bloody death! |
| 100540 You have Brodle wrong, Tartle. He cares about you. He made me promise not to harm you. I'll keep that promise if you don't interfere. |
| 100541 Your choice is simple. Get out of my way or die! |
| 100542 If you won't go back to your old life, I'll give you a new death! |
| 100543 I've no time for this. Will you stand aside or not? |
| 100544 If you can't live, then you will certainly die! |
| 100545 Dennaton is doomed, Tartle. This whole arena and everyone associated with it will be wiped out, an embarrassment to be forgotten. |
| 100546 Look, you have a simple choice. Get out of my way or die! |
| 100547 Follow him to your death! |
| 100548 There's no time for this. Will you stand aside or not? |
| 100549 Take your folly to your grave! |
| 100550 You have a choice now, Symm: Fight for your freedom or for your captor. It's time to decide who you really are. |
| 100551 Ah, Haximus. Dennaton's slave to the last. |
| 100552 Then let us get to our match, Haximus. Defend yourself! |
| 100553 You have a choice now, Symm: Fight for your freedom or for your captor. It's time to decide who you really are. |
| 100554 Ah, Haximus. Dennaton's slave to the bitter, bloody end. |
| 100555 You've really made a mess of things, <CHARNAME>. You could've had wealth, glory, immortality... Instead, you will die, your body dumped in an unmarked grave. And for what? |
| 100556 You shall soon get your wishâ€â€at least partially. I'm not sure this little plot of yours constitutes "freedom" in any meaningful sense. |
| 100557 That will be rectified soon enough. |
| 100558 Have you learned nothing? This is MY arena. My word is law here! |
| 100559 Your fate remains the same as it always has been. You will die at MY command for the amusement of THIS crowd. |
| 100560 Oh, by all means. Please, enlighten us! |
| 100561 Such pathetic lies will not save you, <CHARNAME>. |
| 100562 Where did you get that?! I meanâ€â€I've never seen that journal in my entire life! It's a forgery! |
| 100563 No, my adoring patrons, please! I would NEVER conspire against a tharchion! Do not believe the lies of a desperate <PRO_MANWOMAN>! |
| 100564 A pretty speech, but words are of little consequence here. |
| 100565 Tell me, how did you coordinate this little rebellion? Who helped you? |
| 100566 Very interesting. And what do you plan to do with your freedom once you win it? |
| 100567 Did you enjoy any of your matches here? |
| 100568 I see. Very helpful. Now, what else would I like to know...? |
| 100569 I'm not stalling. You fascinate me, truly. |
| 100570 FINALLY! It took you long enough! |
| 100571 FINALLY! It took you long enough! You were right, <CHARNAME>, I was stalling you. |
| 100572 Did you get the tarrasque, planetar? Is it here? |
| 100573 Such a creature is beyond even our power. Send us on a suicide mission like that again and our relationshipâ€â€to say nothing of your lifeâ€â€will be at an end. |
| 100574 We can handle our differences later, Winged. There's a much more immediate problem to deal with. |
| 100575 It will be done. |
| 100576 Better to die free than live a slave. |
| 100577 I'm not dead yet, Dennaton. |
| 100578 Big words, Dennaton. And very nearly your last. |
| 100579 Ah, yes, the crowd! You were always so eager for me to address my "adoring fans." May I do so now? |
| 100580 We'll see. |
| 100581 Tell me, Dennaton, do the people here know you and Szass Tam conspire to eliminate a tharchion and elevate you in his place? |
| 100582 All of you should know this arena is through. You will witness the final battle to occur here. This time, the prize is freedomâ€â€not just for me, but for all those below. And my final opponent is Dennaton! |
| 100583 I hope none of you bought a lifetime membership to this arena. When I gut this pig, the pits will be out of business. |
| 100584 Listen to me, scum! I'm a generous <PRO_MANWOMAN>. I'll give you exactly as much time as it takes to kill Dennaton to flee. Anyone here after I'm finished will join him in the grave! |
| 100585 Lies? It's all here in this journal. |
| 100586 When you're gone, Dennaton, I shall release this journal. I will destroy your body, your name, your reputationâ€â€everything that's ever mattered to you. |
| 100587 It is no forgery, Dennaton, but it IS the work of a fraud. |
| 100588 You know better than that, Dennaton, but I suppose it doesn't matter to you. Things like journals and reputations mean little to the dead. |
| 100589 Trying to stall, Dennaton? It won't work. |
| 100590 Brodle helped me. |
| 100591 I couldn't have done it without Tartle. |
| 100592 I acted alone. |
| 100593 You'll die never knowing. |
| 100594 Trying to stall me won't save you, scum. |
| 100595 I will return to a life of adventure. |
| 100596 Settle down and build a family. |
| 100597 Find somewhere to ply my trade and build a career. |
| 100598 I'll dance on your grave for a start. |
| 100599 Enough stalling, Dennaton. It's over. |
| 100600 The easy ones like the orcs and lizardmen weren't too bad. |
| 100601 The mid-range ones like the demons and devils provided a bit of exercise. |
| 100602 I enjoyed pitting myself against some of your tougher acts, like the liches or those little Bhaalspawns. |
| 100603 No sane <PRO_MANWOMAN> enjoys fighting for survival. Let's see how you like it. |
| 100604 I expect I'll enjoy this last one. |
| 100605 You fought a tarrasque and lived? Impressive! |
| 100606 If you agreed to hunt a tarrasque, you got what you deserved. |
| 100607 I'll end your relationship with him right now. |
| 100608 I'm glad you made it. All scores will be settled this <DAYNIGHTALL>! |
| 100609 This is well under control, so there's no need for me to risk my neck. Farewell, my pets! |
| 100610 The time has come to shed this appalling disguise. I am Dormamus no more! Now come, <CHARNAME>, and let us win our freedom! |
| 100611 What... what's happening? I feel so... strange? |
| 100612 What? After so long, I am flesh once again? Hah! The arcane power flows through me once more. Bannor is returned! |
| 100613 Whoa! I don't feel so well. What's happening to me? |
| 100614 A mushroom? Really? Is this supposed to be funny? |
| 100615 TORM, PLEASE... TAKE PITY ON ME! ARGH! |
| 100616 That's it? They're dead? The Winged and the Planar Hunters are really dead? I... I can't believe it! |
| 100617 Ah, you have had a stunning victory here today, <CHARNAME>! I'll raise a tankard or three in your name in every alehouse across Faerûn. |
| 100618 You have slain our captors, <CHARNAME>. My thanks. You've saved me some effort. |
| 100619 This arena is no more, but others await. The crowds will chant my name again. |
| 100620 You delivered death to our captors, <CHARNAME>. You have my respect. |
| 100621 Our oppressors have faced justice at your hand. I salute you. |
| 100622 Nice jobâ€â€TOO nice. The Winged was on the List, and you killed her. Normally, that'd get you on the List. I'll make an exception this one time. |
| 100623 I foresaw this great day, but that doesn't make its arrival any less sweet! |
| 100624 Thank you, <CHARNAME>. Your name will be sung wherever great deeds are held dear. |
| 100625 Well done, whoever you are! Who are you again...? |
| 100626 Death! Pretty, pretty death you have given, and yet… I do not see Jinga's corpse! Still more death is needed! |
| 100627 I don't see Dennaton among the dead. He must have run. Without his Hunters, he's no longer a threat to us or anyone else. |
| 100628 Would that I could say the same for you! Tartle, my cousin, is dead, slain by your hand! |
| 100629 And you spared my cousin, Tartle. That couldn't have been easy. Thank you for your restraint. Farewell. |
| 100630 I care nothing for your excuses, <CHARNAME>! You have what you wanted. Go now and pray I'm never in a position to pay you back. |
| 100631 Ho ho, and I'm back! They say, "there's no place like home," but I'd rather be where the action is. |
| 100632 As you freed me from the efreet's prison, it appears we are even, mortal. Or should I call you <CHARNAME>? |
| 100633 As you wish |
| 100634 Ah, <CHARNAME>, I deduce that you've definitively dispatched Dennaton's defenders. Would you care to provide a detailed description of the drama? |
| 100635 A sorry summary of the slaughter! Such specious stories are sadly standard for you. I saw the situationâ€â€the soldiers fairly stumbled onto their swords, but since you've settled on slandering the slain, we shall speak on a different matter. |
| 100636 Now is that any way to treat one with the ability to instantly send you anywhere you wish? |
| 100637 It is time to reveal that I am not merely Stannel Eibor, the scribe, but am also a wizard of not inconsiderable power. I can instantly teleport you back home. |
| 100638 Very good, <CHARNAME>. I shall take you home! |
| 100639 I cast a spell to take you home. What's so hard to understand? Are you ready? |
| 100640 Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I will take you home whether you like it or not! |
| 100641 Home! My pitiful performers of pathetic power want to go HOME! Well, LET'S TAKE THEM HOME! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! |
| 100642 I tried to save him, Brodle. He wouldn't listen to reason. |
| 100643 I did what I had to do. |
| 100644 I freed you, and you want to whine about your cousin? |
| 100645 Call me friend. |
| 100646 My name will be sufficient. |
| 100647 Call me whatever you like, as far away from me as possible. |
| 100648 We engaged in mortal combat. Sword and spell clashed violently for what seemed like hours until I at last prevailed over the Planar Hunters. |
| 100649 I've no use for the way you twist my words, scribe. Begone! |
| 100650 I butchered them as I do everyone who crosses me. |
| 100651 What are you waiting for? |
| 100652 What's the catch? |
| 100653 No, thanks. I can take care of myself. |
| 100654 Am I ever. |
| 100655 No, thanks. I'll take care of myself. |
| 100656 Move along, performer. |
| 100657 Watch your mouth. You may be tough in the arena, but we run things over here. |
| 100658 Oh! It's YOU! Hey, could I get your autograph? |
| 100659 Back off, performer. There's one of you and dozens of us. |
| 100660 Hey, shouldn't you be training or something? Beat it! |
| 100661 I could have been a gladiator if it weren't for this bum knee. |
| 100662 Tell it to someone who cares. I've got a job to do. |
| 100663 I'm here to guard, not chat. |
| 100664 Hey, think you could show me some of those moves you use in the arena? |
| 100665 Left, right, left, right, left, right... |
| 100666 Thanks for your help. Now die, fools! |
| 100667 What's going on? You slaves started a riot? Leave me and my puppies out of it. |
| 100668 Thanks for your help. You can die now. |
| 100669 Follow me! |
| 100670 <CHARNAME>, what's going on out there? |
| 100671 The performers are rebelling! Grab a cleaver. We're joining them! |
| 100672 Let us pass. |
| 100673 Open the pens and get your animals to attack the captain and his men. |
| 100674 Go on, move. Don't touch the pens. See how panicky you've made my puppies? |
| 100675 Are you out o' your mind? My puppies'd get slaughtered. |
| 100676 You'll have to go through me first. |
| 100677 You want them, you'll have to go through me first. |
| 100678 Good. Go through if you need to but make it fast. |
| 100679 Let's go, then! |
| 100680 I'm sorry, Stirv, but we need your help. |
| 100681 If it's not them, it could be us. |
| 100682 Do it or die. |
| 100683 Fine. But you better not release them for the captain either. |
| 100684 So be it. |
| 100685 Forget it. But you better not release them for the captain either. |
| 100686 I'm at peace with that. |
| 100687 You're lucky I'm short on time, Stirv. You better not release your puppies for the captain either. |
| 100688 Stirv |
| 100689 Stirv the Creature Wrangler |
| 100690 Hey. I managed to get those items you asked for. You wouldn't believe the lengths I had to go to. Think duck feathers, ale, and a highly choreographed song and dance routine... but it'll be worth it if it all gets put to good use. |
| 100691 Oh, wonderful. I can't wait to spend my precious time listening to you prattle away. |
| 100692 Oh, look. Another dullard. This should be fulfilling. |
| 100693 You will fall before me! |
| 100694 You cannot comprehend the pain I shall inflict upon you! |
| 100695 Heal me! You are lost without me. |
| 100696 I missed? Impossible! |
| 100697 Ha! Intellect and skill shall win the day. |
| 100698 Ooh! You'll regret that. |
| 100699 Killed by an imbecile. *sigh* |
| 100700 What're you lookin' at? |
| 100701 Just keep walkin' and no one gets hurt. Got it? |
| 100702 The bigger they are, the harder I beat on 'em! |
| 100703 You're headin' into a world of pain! |
| 100704 You'll heal me if you know what's good for ya! |
| 100705 Tch. You got lucky! |
| 100706 Eat it, dog! |
| 100707 Gah! |
| 100708 *cough* Damn... DAMN! Augh... |
| 100709 Tempus salutes you. |
| 100710 You are faring well, I hope. |
| 100711 I will fight with honor! |
| 100712 May the boldest warrior be victorious! |
| 100713 I'm all right. 'Tis naught but a scratch. |
| 100714 May Tempus guide my blade! |
| 100715 Take this, heathen! |
| 100716 I am fallen. Remember me as a... brave and... handsome... warrior. |
| 100717 Remember me as the brave... mighty... skilled... pious and much beloved... heroic... noble... humble man that I am. |
| 100718 Jinga sent you, didn't she? |
| 100719 Stop talking so loud. I can't hear the voices. |
| 100720 I'll teach you and your pink ponies to throw yogurt at me! |
| 100721 The ducks on your head won't save you! |
| 100722 I... ah! I'm hurt. Oh... this is Jinga's work! |
| 100723 Shut up! SHUT UP! You're distracting me! |
| 100724 Pay for your broccoli! |
| 100725 Oof! I'll get you for that! |
| 100726 I understand now... Jinga was trying to protect me... |
| 100727 What in the Nine Hells do you wantâ€â€I mean... hello, my child. |
| 100728 Greetings. Please consider a generous donation to Lathander's ongoing and expensive work. |
| 100729 For Lathander, god of battle! And victory! And luck! |
| 100730 I'll cut your belly open f-for the glory of Lathandoo! |
| 100731 Get over here and heal me! |
| 100732 Hold still, you! |
| 100733 Lathander, god of the dead, take you! |
| 100734 Ugh! |
| 100735 No! I'm... I'm not ready to die! Lathandross, protect me! |
| 100736 Don't stand so close to me. |
| 100737 K-keep your distance. |
| 100738 Here goes nothing! |
| 100739 Stand back, everyone! |
| 100740 Oooh, that hurts... a lot. |
| 100741 I can't hit EVERY TIME. I'm not a fighter! |
| 100742 Oui! Très bien! I just landed a big one! |
| 100743 This is it for me. Finally. |
| 100744 Speak quickly. I've no time for idle talk. |
| 100745 I'm busy. This better be important. |
| 100746 For justice! |
| 100747 Hoar's vengeance upon you! |
| 100748 My strength fails me. I require healing! |
| 100749 You'll not avoid my wrath for long. |
| 100750 Feel the wrath of Hoar! |
| 100751 Ooh! |
| 100752 I am lost. Avenge my death. |
| 100753 What would you have of Hort Il-D'rth? |
| 100754 Hort Il-D'rth will speak with you. |
| 100755 I am Hort Il-D'rth, First of the Bone Scars! |
| 100756 Come fight me! Die a warrior's death! |
| 100757 Aargh, this one will leave a great scar. |
| 100758 Stand still and fight! |
| 100759 That was Hort's deathblow! |
| 100760 Hort... finally join Gruumsh... |
| 100761 Who are you again? |
| 100762 Huh? |
| 100763 Let's go kick some arses! |
| 100764 Tell me if I'm going the wrong way. |
| 100765 Well, it hurt, but Iâ€â€I believe I'm all right for now. |
| 100766 Uh... |
| 100767 Woo hoo! |
| 100768 No! |
| 100769 Make it quick. I didn't become the master of the arena by talking. |
| 100770 You wish to speak with the master of the arena? |
| 100771 You will fall before the master! |
| 100772 I am the greatest! |
| 100773 Heal me! It is your only hope of victory. |
| 100774 A miss? Impossible! |
| 100775 Aha! None can resist the master! |
| 100776 Augh! |
| 100777 No! This can't be! All my training... I can't die! |
| 100778 You must wait before you can pause again. |
| 100779 Maybe later. Maybe. |
| 100780 Adoy's Belt |
| 100781 This slender deer hide belt lined with rabbit fur grants its wearer resistance to polymorph effects: the perfect gift for wild mages or those who stand near them. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Save vs. Petrification/Polymorph: +5 Weight: 2 |
| 100782 Glimmering Bands |
| 100783 These polished bracers reflect harsh light into the eyes of the wearer's foes, distracting them from parrying incoming fists. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – THAC0: +2 Weight: 1 |
| 100784 You have done well, besting Dennaton, but that's no reason to stop the entertainment. I, Elgiad, have scoured the planes far and wide. I offer challenges far greater than Dennaton ever did, rare and ferocious creatures and gladiators of unmatched martial and arcane prowess. Join me! |
| 100785 Excellent! Step this way! The competition awaits! |
| 100786 Come back when you're ready. I cannot wait to see you face my special challenges! |
| 100787 Welcome back, friend. Are you ready to test your skill in the arena against MY menagerie? |
| 100788 Not right now. I still need time to prepare. |
| 100789 For your first challenge, I give you some familiar faces. You might once have counted these six as allies, but you must have known they'd as soon slit your throat as save your hide! Now's their chance! To arms! |
| 100790 You may have expected those last miscreants to turn on you for a couple of coppers, but you would doubtless have trusted these next six to your dying breath. Surprise! Friend is turned to foe! Combatants, to arms! |
| 100791 She's a bloodsucking lady of the night with a penchant for graveyards. He's an insane once-elven wizard with a healthy lust for revenge. What do these siblings have in common other than a creepy obsession with you? NOTHING! You've fought them both before. Now face them again, but this time TOGETHER! Combatants! To arms! |
| 100792 You have bested the two exiles and their minions! Well played, but I have someone even tougher than they, one strong enough to challenge even the gods themselves. This lady took delusion to a whole new level. I'm sure you've already guessed who she is, so let's bring her out and get this party started! |
| 100793 Amazing! Astounding! Aâ€â€eh, I'll leave the alliteration to Baeloth. The previous challenger thought herself a godâ€â€the next one actually is! Or, rather, was. That's right, here's your chance to take on the Lord of Murder himself: Bhaal! To arms! |
| 100794 Well done! You have faced all manner of creatureâ€â€heroic mortals, reprehensible villains, fiends, even a godâ€â€and defeated them all. It's tempting to simply declare you victorious, but there's still one challenger so vile, so reprehensible, and so feared that ALL who encounter him flee in screaming irritation! |
| 100795 I will not lie, he causes even me to recoil in horror. But to be the best, you must beat the worst. And so I give you... your final challenge! |
| 100796 Heya! Wanna play a game? |
| 100797 Yes! |
| 100798 Yes. |
| 100799 Yes? |
| 100800 No. |
| 100801 No. Gods, no. |
| 100802 There is no room to drop that item here. |
| 100803 Ooh, a fighter! You like to act tough, do you? I thought I wanted to be a fighter once, but then my mother reminded me I have trouble chopping wood for the winter... and the wood's sitting still! Better I stick to telling stories, I think. |
| 100804 Anyway, let me just get my Tome of Adventure here... right, got it. Let's get started. |
| 100805 You are a fighting <PRO_MANWOMAN>, a mercenary who makes <PRO_HISHER> living with <PRO_HISHER> sword, and a good living it has been. A paragon of youth, strength, and vitality, you are an impressive sight in your brightly polished armor. So it is no surprise that when you enter the town of Berenford, the children look at you in awe, even as their parents run to shield them from an unknown, yet powerful new presence. |
| 100806 It is a day like any other, and you had briefly considered scrounging around Berenford for work, but something in these people's attitudes stops you in your tracks. All is not right here. It is not unusual for people to be scared of the unknown, but this group seems a bit TOO scared. As the adults shuffle their children indoors, you are left facing what might loosely be termed a town square. Looking around, you notice several nondescript buildings, a temple of Lathander, and a blacksmith. |
| 100807 Enter the Temple of Lathander. |
| 100808 Enter the blacksmith's. |
| 100809 The Temple of Lathander is adorned in rich yellow, orange, and red tapestries arranged on the walls such that they mimic the hues and patterns of a rising sun. You at first think the temple to be empty before a small woman meekly pokes her head out of one of the side vestibules. "Sorry," she says timidly, "but I'm afraid the temple is closed. Please try back later." |
| 100810 Ask her why the temple is closed. |
| 100811 Leave the temple and enter the blacksmith's. |
| 100812 Leave the town and head to Mount Redigar. |
| 100813 "The priest, Morninglord Aldaron, is not here at the moment, and I am but a lowly acolyte. I have neither the training nor enough of the Morninglord's favor to provide adequate temple services on my own." |
| 100814 Inquire as to when Aldaron will return. |
| 100815 Leave the temple and enter the blacksmith's. |
| 100816 Leave the town and head to Mount Redigar. |
| 100817 "He does not approve his schedule with me," she answers curtly as she turns away. Yet something stops her, and she turns back, eyes your glistening armor and the heavy sword sheathed on your belt, and begins again. "I apologize, but the truth is the Morninglord has been gone too long now. He is almost certainly dead." |
| 100818 "He left almost three tendays ago to journey to Mount Redigar, but he should have returned long ago. It is at most a three-day journey there and another three back. You can even see the mountain from the town square." |
| 100819 "Mount Redigar is the home of Fernault, a warlord that recently moved into the area and began terrorizing the people. Aldaron was certain he could talk sense into the tyrantâ€â€confident that Lathander would protect him if the worst cameâ€â€but he has not returned!" |
| 100820 "My mentorâ€â€my friendâ€â€has been slain by that monster, and now I don't see how the people here will ever be free of him! Please, <PRO_SIRMAAM>, you look to be a great warrior. Rid our town of this tyrant if you can! Oh, I'm sorry, but my emotions overwhelm me. I cannot speak any more of it!" She runs off, leaving you alone in the temple. |
| 100821 Leave the temple and enter the blacksmith's. |
| 100822 Leave the town and head to Mount Redigar. |
| 100823 The blacksmith's shop is a small wooden building with a low roof and a crowded and drafty interior. The wall is lined with examples of his handiwork: swords, spears, and shields, but everything is covered in soot. The smith looks up warily from his anvil as you enter and beckons you forward. "What d'ya want?" he asks gruffly. |
| 100824 Ask if he has anything rare for sale. |
| 100825 Leave the blacksmith's and enter the temple. |
| 100826 Leave the town and head to Mount Redigar. |
| 100827 He shakes his head. "I have nothing for sale. Not anymore!" |
| 100828 Ask why a merchant would have no items for sale. |
| 100829 Leave the blacksmith's and enter the temple. |
| 100830 Leave the town and head to Mount Redigar. |
| 100831 "Because we no longer have any currency! All we used to have went to our new lord, Fernault. 'Taxes,' he called it, but it's more like 'theft' if you ask me! Because he simply takes everything we get, gold has become worthless here, and so I don't want any you may have. The only way I work now is for an exchange of services, and I doubt you'd have anything I want. Although..." |
| 100832 Suddenly, there is a commotion at the door, and before you can object, the smith hurries you behind a nearby pile of crates and motions you to be silent. Almost before he can turn back around, a large man bursts into his shop. "Smith!" he bellows. "Your shipment is late. Where are the weapons Fernault has ordered?" |
| 100833 "Iâ€â€Iâ€â€I need time," the smith stammers in reply. "That many weapons cannot be made in a tenday, particularly when it is so difficult to come by supplies, a situation brought about by your master, I might add!" |
| 100834 The large man steps forward and backhands the smith, sending him to the ground. "Watch your tongue, cur! First, Lord Fernault is not just MY master, but OUR master! Second, he will not be blamed for your incompetence! You have two days to finish the order. If you do not have the weapons by then, your daughter will pay the price!" |
| 100835 Stay in hiding. |
| 100836 Smite the man from behind with your sword. |
| 100837 The smith nods his understanding, and the large man barrels his way out the door. When he is gone, the smith motions you forward and out the door. "You've got to go," he says nervously. "I have far too much work to do." |
| 100838 Ask him about Lord Fernault. |
| 100839 Leave the blacksmith's and enter the temple. |
| 100840 Leave the town and head to Mount Redigar. |
| 100841 With a mighty swing, you split the man's skull, felling him in one blow. As his body slumps to the floor, the smith looks at you in a disbelief which soon turns to panic. "You've really done it now," he cries. "Lord Fernault's seneschal killed in my shop! Quick, help me get the body into the furnace before anyone finds it!" |
| 100842 Ask him about Lord Fernault. |
| 100843 Leave the blacksmith's and enter the temple. |
| 100844 Leave the town and head to Mount Redigar. |
| 100845 "No one's ever seen him," the man whispers, "but he and his soldiers came here several tendays ago and immediately set about robbing the people blind. Anything of valueâ€â€gold, jewels, iron, even food and, as you just saw, weaponsâ€â€they simply seize without payment." |
| 100846 "His fortress lies somewhere in Mount Redigar to the north. That's where they took my daughter several days ago as a means of 'persuading' me to continue working for free. Why do you ask? You aren't really thinking of getting rid of him, are you? Because if you are, I beg you to keep an eye out for Peldea, my daughter. Rescue her if you can!" |
| 100847 Agree to rescue his daughter. |
| 100848 Tell him that you cannot guarantee you will be able to rescue his daughter. |
| 100849 Tell him that you have no intention of going to Lord Fernault's fortress. |
| 100850 "Oh, thank you!" he replies with a wide smile. "Since you have promised to return to me the only thing in this world I care about, I shall give you this!" He pulls up a loose plank from the floor, reaches his hand into the hole, and brings forth a rough cloth, which he quickly unwraps to reveal a perfectly smooth blue blade. |
| 100851 As your hand grasps the sword's hilt, a series of orange runes pulse along the crossguard, hinting at the power within the blade. "It's called Caelfor, and it was passed to me by my father, a master smith known far and wide as the best these parts have ever known. I reckon there are few better swords in the world than this. May it always strike true for you, and if you could lodge it in Lord Fernault's brain, I would celebrate your name forever." |
| 100852 "But we have spoken too long already. I really do need to get back to work, so I wish you luck in your travels. Farewell." |
| 100853 Leave the blacksmith's and enter the temple. |
| 100854 Leave the town and head to Mount Redigar. |
| 100855 "Ah," he replies, obviously disappointed. "I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. Suffice it to say, I will be happy for anything you can do." |
| 100856 "Ah," he replies, obviously disappointed. "I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. If you do change your mind, the people around here would be mightily relieved if you could end his tyranny." |
| 100857 As you turn to the north, heading out of town, a short, balding man approaches you meekly, hat in hand. "Excuse me, <PRO_SIRMAAM>," he begins, "but you look as though you are made of the stuff of heroes. Would you free our town from the clutches of Lord Fernault and his soldiers?" |
| 100858 Indicate that you will. |
| 100859 Say that you will for the right price. |
| 100860 Say that you are too busy at the moment. |
| 100861 "Oh, thank you, THANK YOU!" He shakes your hand furiously. "We do not have anything to pay you with right now, for Fernault's greed is so great that he has stripped our land bare of anything of value. However, anyone that can storm his fortress and kill him will undoubtedly find his vaults filled to overflowing with gold. Now good luck to you, and fare thee well!" |
| 100862 "We do not have anything to pay you with right now," he answers, "for Fernault's greed is so great that he has stripped our land bare of anything of value. However, anyone that can storm his fortress and kill him will undoubtedly find his vaults filled to overflowing with gold. But if that is not enough, then so be it. Fare thee well!" |
| 100863 "That is a shame," he answers, "for Fernault's greed is so great that he has stripped our land bare of anything of value. Therefore, anyone that can storm his fortress and kill him will undoubtedly find his vaults filled to overflowing with gold. But if you are too busy, then so be it. Fare thee well!" |
| 100864 "The soldiers were fighting amongst themselves, so they agreed to split up. One group took our wagon and horses and headed west. Another took my mother and brother and headed east." You look on the ground and, sure enough, there are tracks leading both east and west. The soldiers made no attempt to conceal their movement, so both paths would be easy enough to follow. |
| 100865 Head west in pursuit of the wagon and horses. |
| 100866 Head east in pursuit of the girl's mother and brother. |
| 100867 Forget the entire mess and continue north towards Mount Redigar. |
| 100868 The path west winds around several low hills and into a lightly forested area. The sun filters down through the canopy, and the birds chirp merrily in the cool breeze. Overall, it is a not unpleasant journey. |
| 100869 The sound of horses neighing is the first sign you have that you have caught your prey. You creep to the top of a small hill to find the wagon and two horses in the vale below. Two orcs talk animatedly with one another, although they do not seem to be fighting, and they regularly draw drinks from one of the casks on the wagon into their clay tankards, downing the frothy brew in single gulps before pouring again. |
| 100870 Attack the orcs. |
| 100871 Settle down to wait for a better opportunity. |
| 100872 Leave the scene and continue north to Mount Redigar. |
| 100873 You draw your blade and charge into the camp while the confused orcs drop their mugs and stumble for their weapons. Not giving them any chance to recover, you bring your sword down with a mighty blow, nearly cleaving the first orc in two, and then turn to face the second. The monster raises its axe and growls at you as it lumbers forward. |
| 100874 You deftly sidestep the awkward swing and bring your own sword up in a backward arc directly into the orc's back. The blade cleaves through the monster's thin leather armor, and it grunts loudly as it falls over into the dust. It twitches a couple times on the ground but quickly stills in the blood-soaked mud. |
| 100875 You deftly sidestep the awkward swing and bring your own sword up in a backward arc directly towards the orc's back, but you are surprised when the beast, anticipating your move, dives forward into the dirt, causing your own sword to swing harmlessly through the air. |
| 100876 Before you can adjust, the orc swipes your legs out from under you, and your blade flies from your grip as you plunge headlong into the dirt. As you roll over, desperately trying to regain your footing, the orc lands on your chest, a dagger now plunging towards your throat. Within seconds, the world goes black. |
| 100877 The sudden sound of soft chanting on the breeze makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Turning around, you notice another orc you had not seen before, this one wearing the robes of a tribal shaman, standing by the wagon waving his hands. |
| 100878 Charge him and attack. |
| 100879 Throw your sword at him. |
| 100880 Run for cover. |
| 100881 You quickly cover the ground between the two of you, but not before the shaman finishes his enchantment. You notice a shimmering in the air around his hands that quickly enlarges to encompass you. For a moment, you feel extremely tired, and you find yourself thinking of simply curling up on the ground and going to sleep, but you manage to shake off the effects of the enchantment. |
| 100882 With a mighty roar, you raise your sword and bring it down upon the upraised arm of the shaman. Skin and bone give way as you slice clean through the frail body. The orc crumples to the ground and moves no more. |
| 100883 You quickly cover the ground between the two of you, but not before the shaman finishes his enchantment. You notice a shimmering in the air around his hands that quickly enlarges to encompass you. Suddenly, you feel extremely tired, and you find yourself thinking how wonderful a nap would feel. Without a care in the world, you curl up into a ball and fade off into a dream from which you never wake. |
| 100884 With a shout, you hurl your sword through the air. The weapon arcs wildly and clatters noisily into the wagon, but it is enough to disrupt the shaman's concentration. His spell fizzles with a sharp explosion, and he staggers back, hands already digging into his pouches for another set of reagents. Acting quickly, you give him a swift punch to his jaw that sends him reeling. You regain your sword as he begins weaving another spell. |
| 100885 You quickly dodge behind the wagon, but not before the shaman finishes his enchantment. You notice a shimmering in the air around his hands that quickly enlarges to encompass you. For a moment, you feel extremely tired, and you find yourself thinking of simply curling up on the ground and going to sleep, but you manage to shake off the effects of the enchantment. Realizing his spell has failed, you charge around the wagon and straight for him. |
| 100886 You quickly dodge behind the wagon, but not before the shaman finishes his enchantment. You notice a shimmering in the air around his hands that quickly enlarges to encompass you. Suddenly, you feel extremely tired, and you find yourself thinking how wonderful a nap would feel. Without a care in the world, you curl up into a ball and fade off into a dream from which you never wake. |
| 100887 Searching the wagon reveals little of use to you. The cargo consists mostly of the drained ale kegs, bolts of cloth, beads, and other baubles for making clothes, but one helmet draws your attention. Though it is made of metal and appears well crafted and sturdy, it is very lightâ€â€too light for normal metal. A set of soft purple runes etched into the crown confirms that the helmet is enchanted in some way. |
| 100888 Put the helmet on. |
| 100889 Discard the helmet and continue on to Mount Redigar. |
| 100890 The helm fits easily onto your headâ€â€so easily, in fact, that you swear it must have been forged just for youâ€â€but you experience no obvious magical effect. Shrugging, you proceed onwards towards Mount Redigar. |
| 100891 You settle down to observe the camp. Hours go by until night at last settles over the scene. Although the two orcs occasionally gaze out into the fields to the southâ€â€thereby hinting at the existence of others out foraging for food or suppliesâ€â€no one else returns to the camp. At last, the ale gets the best of the two, and they settle down by the fire, the sounds of snoring soon filling the air. |
| 100892 Sneak up on the orcs and kill them. |
| 100893 Leave the scene and continue north to Mount Redigar. |
| 100894 You sneak up quietly and plunge your sword into the first orc's gut. The beast squeals under the blow but otherwise is unable to react before its life bleeds out. The second orc sits up with a shout, but you bring your blade up in a savage arc directly into its jaw. It too slumps over in a pool of its own blood. The entire fight is finished before it has begun. |
| 100895 The path east winds around several low hills and into a lightly forested area. The sun filters down through the canopy, and the birds chirp merrily in the cool breeze. Overall, it is a not unpleasant journey. |
| 100896 As the light fades, you come to a break in the trees that harbors a small camp. Within, a single large humanoid figure absently pokes a stick into a fire pit while two frightened humansâ€â€a woman and a young boyâ€â€sit opposite, wide-eyed with fear. |
| 100897 The large humanoid shifts position so that you can clearly see its face, and your initial suspicion is confirmed. It is an ogre, the smallest and weakest of the giant-kin, but nevertheless much larger and stronger than a human. Looking around, you see no other guards for the two prisoners. The ogre sighs and continues poking his stick into the fire disinterestedly. |
| 100898 Sneak up behind the ogre and attack him. |
| 100899 Wait for a better opportunity. |
| 100900 Leave the captives to their fate and continue to Mount Redigar. |
| 100901 You tiptoe silently up behind the ogre, but a misstep causes a twig to break loudly under your feet. The ogre snaps to attention and turns quickly around. It snarls at the sight of you and picks up the bone of a large unknown animal lying nearby. Swinging its bone club with a roar, it lumbers towards you. |
| 100902 Stand and fight the ogre. |
| 100903 Flee and continue to Mount Redigar. |
| 100904 The ogre swings its makeshift club wildly at you as you deftly feint to the right and then dodge left. Your move puts the behemoth off balance, and you seize the opportunity to swing your sword into its unprotected right flank. You feel the crack of ribs as your sword bites deep into its side, and the ogre emits a howl of pain and rage. |
| 100905 The monster again swings wildly, but you nimbly duck and counter with a thrust up under its crude breastplate and into its soft underbelly. The beast drops its club in surprise and grasps its stomach, desperately trying to keep its entrails from spilling out. It looks at you first in surprise and then horror as it stumbles backwards and collapses into the fire pit. |
| 100906 You quickly untie the two prisoners and usher them into the woods, but the female prisoner resists and instead approaches the ogre's burnt body. She rifles through the beast's pouches and pulls forth a small, nondescript silver ring, which she then hands to you. "My husband is dead and so will no longer need this," she says sadly, "but the service you have done me today deserves a reward. When you wear this ring, you will become completely invisible to everyone else." |
| 100907 You escort the two former prisoners back to the site of the attack and the young girl still hiding in the grass. The small group again mourns their dead but thanks you for reuniting those that are left. The three depart on foot towards Berenford to the south, and you are left to continue traveling north towards Mount Redigar. |
| 100908 The ogre swings its makeshift club as you feint to the right and then attempt to dodge back left, but the cagey beast deftly reverses its swing to catch you right in the gut. You stagger backwards as the air knocked out of you, but the ogre closes quickly, its bone club already raised for another blow. You raise your sword desperately to parry, but the next swing forces you to the ground and knocks the blade from your hand. You look up in time to see the third blow raining down. It is the last sight you ever see. |
| 100909 You hunch down into the tall grass to observe the ogre and wait for a better opportunity. Every so often, the beast stops poking the fire long enough to look aroundâ€â€thereby hinting at the existence of others out foraging for food or suppliesâ€â€but none ever return. At last, long after night has settled over the camp, the ogre slumps down and closes its eyes. A few minutes later, you hear the unmistakable sound of snoring. |
| 100910 Sneak up on the beast and kill it. |
| 100911 Sneak around to the prisoners and free them. |
| 100912 Leave the captives to their fate and continue to Mount Redigar. |
| 100913 You tiptoe silently up to the ogre, but a misstep causes a twig to snap loudly under your feet. The monster's eyes fly open as it jumps to attention and turns around. It snarls at the sight of you, leaps up with surprising agility, and picks up the bone of a large unknown animal lying nearby. Swinging its bone club with a roar, it lumbers towards you. |
| 100914 Stand and fight the ogre. |
| 100915 Flee and continue to Mount Redigar. |
| 100916 Silently, you make your way to the two prisoners on the opposite side of the fire. They awaken as you approach, but you motion for them to be quiet as you slice through their bonds with your sword. Within moments, they are free. |
| 100917 The path north is uneventful, and a quick encampment allows you to get a few hours' rest before continuing north in the early morning. Before long, you come upon a single traveler going in the opposite direction. He leans heavily on a walking stick, and his gray beard blends perfectly into his flowing robes. "Excuse me, <PRO_SIRMAAM>," he beckons to you, "You look to be a warrior of some skill. Would you, by chance, be traveling to see Lord Fernault at Mount Redigar?" |
| 100918 Tell him you are going to rid the region of Lord Fernault. |
| 100919 Tell him you are going to try to join Lord Fernault's army. |
| 100920 Deny that you are going to Mount Redigar. |
| 100921 Ignore him and continue north to Mount Redigar. |
| 100922 "Ah, I was right. You look just the type, and so I have a gift for you." From his pack, he takes a ragged gray cloak that looks to have been singed in a fire and hands it to you. |
| 100923 Thank him and put the cloak on. |
| 100924 Ask him why you would want an old cloak. |
| 100925 Refuse the gift. |
| 100926 "Ah, it seems I was wrong about you," he shrugs. "Sorry to bother you then." He whistles a light tune as he continues south, and you are left alone on the road north. |
| 100927 The cloak is light, but amazingly sturdy given its decrepit appearance. You feel a slight warmth as you pull it around you, but it is otherwise unremarkable. The man smiles at you. "Keep that cloak with you when you meet Lord Fernault. You will need it," he says as he continues south. All other questions are met only with a shake of his head as he fades into the distance. You turn back to the road north. |
| 100928 "This cloak is certainly old," he begins, "but age is not always a reason to discard something. I know well that great power often comes with great age. I can guarantee you that Lord Fernault thinks the same way." |
| 100929 Thank him and put the cloak on. |
| 100930 Refuse the gift. |
| 100931 You travel north another day and spend another fitful night beneath the stars before at last reaching Redigar in the morning. The lonely mountain dominates the sky, and you can see a curl of smoke issuing forth from the summit. It doesn't take long for you to locate a cave entrance that is remarkably unguarded. You venture within. |
| 100932 The torchlit passage slopes downwards for some way before evening out, and a breezeâ€â€warm, dry, and stiflingâ€â€washes over you and causes the torchlight to dance playfully on the walls. From far away, you hear a strange, guttural barking in a tongue you do not understand, but you soon realize that it is, in fact, singing. The voice is rough, deep, and completely inhuman. |
| 100933 The singing grows louder as you approach a doorway. Peeking around the edge, you see a crude kitchen with scattered tables holding a plethora of haphazard spices, foodstuffs, and cooking implements. A large fire pit dominates the center of the room, over which hangs a heavy boiling cauldron supported by an iron rod set between two massive oaken beams. A troll, humming a tuneless melody, uses a human femur to stir the contents. |
| 100934 The passage leads onward past the doorway and further into the mountain. You also see a second passage out of the kitchen directly across from your position, although the troll lies between you and it. |
| 100935 Continue further along the same passage. |
| 100936 Attack the troll. |
| 100937 Try to sneak past the troll to the second passage. |
| 100938 Put on your ring of invisibility and walk past the troll to the second passage. |
| 100939 You are upon the troll in a flash. Surprised, the monster turns and raises its arm in defense as your blade cleaves cleanly through the limb and bites deep into its chest. It staggers backward, howling terribly, and steadies itself against one of the great oaken beams. |
| 100940 You move to continue the assault when you feel something grab your ankle. Looking down, you notice the arm you severed appears to have a life of its own, as it grabs at your feet and tries to trip you. You look up to see the troll smiling macabrely at you. As you watch, a new arm sprouts from the stump, and the massive wound you carved into its chest closes and heals. Within moments, the monster is whole again. |
| 100941 Continue the attack with your sword. |
| 100942 Try to shake the severed arm off your foot. |
| 100943 Run away. |
| 100944 The severed arm impedes you, but you fight through your reduced mobility, again bringing your sword down through an upstretched arm. This time, however, you press your advantage by reversing your swing and bringing your blade back up and clean through the creature's neck. Its head falls off its shoulders and rolls to a stop a few yards away as the body slumps to the ground. |
| 100945 Yet even this does not seem to stop the creature. You watch in horror as the body reaches over with its remaining arm, grabs the head, and sets it back upon its shoulders, the bone, skin, and sinew quickly repairing before your eyes. You look down to find that both the severed arms are wrapped around your ankles, making movement now very difficult. You have mere seconds to determine a course of action that will save you. |
| 100946 Hack the troll's head off with your sword again. |
| 100947 Try to shake the severed arm off your foot. |
| 100948 Run away. |
| 100949 You raise your sword again for another strike, but before you can bring the blade down, the troll reaches up with its taloned hand, grabs you by the neck, and lifts you clean off the ground. You frantically stab at it as it hisses at you malevolently and slowly crushes your windpipe. Within moments, the world goes black as you fade into oblivion. |
| 100950 You use your sword as a lever to pry the fingers from around your ankles and then shake your foot furiously to kick the severed arm away. The limb bounces on the floor a couple times before landing in the cooking fire with a loud pop. Suddenly, the troll emits the first true howl of pain you've heard from it, and the arm twitches in the flame for a brief time before finally shriveling to a black crisp and dissolving to ash. |
| 100951 Continue to attack the troll with your sword. |
| 100952 Try to push the whole beast into the fire pit. |
| 100953 Grab a torch from a wall sconce and use the makeshift club to attack the troll. |
| 100954 Flee Mount Redigar and abandon the quest. |
| 100955 You charge into the massive troll with your shoulder, attempting to muscle it into the fire. The beast instantly realizes your intent and grabs you by the waist with its muscular arm, attempting to lift you whole off the ground. You deftly wriggle out of its grasp, dive low, and grab its leg. Desperately, it claws at your back, but your mail performs its job perfectly, and you use your superior position to force the monster off balance and back into the cooking pit. |
| 100956 The troll emits a howl that chills you to the bone, and its thrashing sends sparks and embers flying across the room. But its fate is sealed. Within seconds, the once-massive troll is little more than a pile of ash. You take a moment to collect both your bearings and your dropped gear and then proceed out the door opposite from where you entered. |
| 100957 You charge into the massive troll with your shoulder, attempting to muscle it into the pit. The beast instantly realizes your intent and grabs you by the waist with its muscular arm, attempting to lift you whole off the ground. You try to wriggle out of its grasp, but it proves surprisingly nimble. It picks you up and hurls you to the floor, knocking the wind out of you. Quickly, it closes the gap, its taloned hands clawing at your neck. It is the last sight you see in life. |
| 100958 Seeing the flaming club in your hand, the troll loses courage and begins to slowly give way, its arms raised in front of its face in defense. You lunge forward, thrusting the torch like a sword under the defending limbs to score a direct hit on the beast's chest. It howls in pain and, realizing it has nowhere to run, finally moves to the attack, but you bring the club up in a backhanded swing and connect with its jaw. |
| 100959 You decisively press your advantage, and the troll again cedes ground, only this time it trips on one of the many piles of debris and plunges to the floor. You move quickly on the beast, hitting it repeatedly with the flame as it howls in pain and tries to crawl away. Within moments, it is still, and you use the torch to light the entire body on fire. Soon, the once-massive troll is little more than a pile of ash. You take a moment to collect both your bearings and your dropped gear and then proceed out the door opposite from where you entered. |
| 100960 Seeing the flaming club in your hand, the troll loses courage and begins to slowly give way, its arms raised in front of its face in defense. You lunge forward, thrusting the club like a sword under the defending limbs to score a direct hit on the beast's chest. It howls in pain and, realizing it now has nothing to lose, finally moves to the attack. You bring the club up in a backhanded swing towards its face, but it catches the end of the flaming club in one of its massive hands. |
| 100961 You feel the bone in the hand give way and smell the putrid scent of burning flesh, but you have no way of blocking the troll's other massive talon that connects cleanly with your jaw. The club flies from your hand as you stagger backwards, dazed. The monster loses no time in closing the gap, and its claws quickly close around your throat. Within moments, you have lost consciousness, never to wake again. |
| 100962 Really? You run away? What kind of adventure is that, you coward? Time to reconsider. |
| 100963 Continue to attack the troll with your sword. |
| 100964 Try to push the whole beast into the fire pit. |
| 100965 Grab a torch from a wall sconce and use the makeshift club to attack the troll. |
| 100966 Fine then! Since that makes our game no fun, I think I'll exercise my dungeon master's prerogative and just say that as you're running away, a rabid goat jumps out of the woods and gores you to death. Now you're dead, so hah! |
| 100967 You turn to flee, but trip over the limb still attached to your ankle. You scramble to get back up, but the troll loses no time in closing the gap, and its claws quickly close around your throat. Within moments, you have lost consciousness, never to wake again. |
| 100968 You wait for the troll to turn its back to you and then use the gloom of the firelit chamber to sneak to the other side. Yet when you are only halfway across, the troll raises its nose, sniffs the air, and then turns in delight. "You have returned!" it cackles. "Did you bring anything for the stew?" |
| 100969 Attack the troll. |
| 100970 Answer that you did not. |
| 100971 Give it a portion of your rations. |
| 100972 It looks at you with a mixture of disappointment and irritation. "You know how much I like different creatures for the stew! Is it too much to ask that when you go on patrol, you at least bring me a little something too? I can't believe how incompetent you lot are! Now begone, and be glad Lord Fernault has forbidden me to put his guards in my stew!" |
| 100973 Attack the troll. |
| 100974 Move on to the passage opposite the one you entered. |
| 100975 It gives something surprisingly close to a squeal of delight. "Oh, thank you! You know how much I like different creatures for the stew! I'm envious that you guards get to go on patrol, but at least you're good enough to bring me a little something when you do!" It plops the food into the stew and begins again humming its tuneless melody. |
| 100976 Attack the troll. |
| 100977 Move on to the passage opposite the one you entered. |
| 100978 You wait for the troll to turn its back to you and then use the gloom of the firelit chamber to sneak to the other side. Yet when you are only halfway across, the troll raises its nose, sniffs the air, and then turns in delight. "I thought I smelled dessert!" it cackles. Realizing your gambit has failed and you are now too exposed to turn back, you are forced to attack. |
| 100979 You slip the ring on and quietly make your way through the chamber. When you are only halfway across, the troll raises its nose, sniffs the air, and then turns in delight. "I thought I smelled dessert!" it cackles, before its face turns to one of confusion. "Huh? Where are you?" it asks quizzically. It creeps past you to the tables behind you and begins searching through potential hiding spots. You realize you have the opportunity to escape, and you hurriedly move through the kitchen to the passage opposite. |
| 100980 The passage descends a bit further, and before long you hear the sound of rough laughter. You slowly approach a doorway at the end of the hallway to see several human guards playing cards and drinking profusely. They joke raucously as they throw bits of meat or slugs of ale at each other and generally act like drunken degenerates. You see another exit further into the mountain directly across the room from you. |
| 100981 Return back up the passage to the troll. |
| 100982 Attack the guards. |
| 100983 Enter the room authoritatively and bluff your way past the guards. |
| 100984 Put on your ring of invisibility and sneak past the guards. |
| 100985 You turn and head back up the tunnel to your previous location. Soon, the sound of guttural singing has once more replaced that of raucous laughter. |
| 100986 You draw your sword and pounce on the first guard with a single motion, cleaving deep into his chest and felling him before he can react. A second guard growls ferally at you and brings her mace around savagely. You easily parry her drunken swing, thrust your sword up under her ribcage, and then shove her gasping body backwards in a collapsing heap. |
| 100987 The third and fourth guards are upon you before she hits the ground, but you deftly position your body so that one has no room to get a full swing even as you parry the attack of the other and counter with a fierce blow to the neck. As he drops, you pivot, bringing your sword around in a powerful arc that sweeps through the feeble attempt to parry and cleaves deep into the fourth guard's side. He too stumbles backwards in a heap. |
| 100988 The third and fourth guards are upon you before she hits the ground, but you deftly position your body so that one has no room to get a full swing even as you parry the attack of the other and counter with a fierce blow to the neck. As he drops, you pivot, bringing your sword around in a powerful arc... |
| 100989 ...that sweeps through air only. The man had taken an unexpected step back, but now he rushes forward, thrusting his sword through one of the joints in your mail. You stumble backwards and look up just in time to see the second blow coming in clean to your neck. It is the last thing you see in this life. |
| 100990 With the guards defeated, you take a moment to catch your breath when a large figure steps out of the deep shadows of the torchlit room. The golden trim on his armor marks him as a soldier of some rank. "Congratulations," the gravelly baritone chides, "you managed to dispatch four drunkards." He slides his massive sword from its sheath and grips the handle easily in both hands. "Let's see if you can defeat a sober warrior, eh?" |
| 100991 Attack the new warrior. |
| 100992 Flee Mount Redigar and abandon the quest. |
| 100993 The man leaps at you, bringing his large blade around in a surprisingly tight arc. You parry the blow, but the force sends you staggering back, your hands ringing with the power of the collision. Yet you have no time to recover, for the man bears down again on you with a series of three rapid swings that you barely manage to avoid. You give ground and kick one of the overturned chairs into his path, a desperate gambit that gives you a scant amount of breathing room. |
| 100994 Your opponent brings his sword down violently on the chair, smashing it easily to splinters, and disdainfully kicks the debris away. With surprisingly quick reflexes for a man wearing such heavy armor, he charges you, closing the distance in less than a second. |
| 100995 Reflexively, you move to step back, but then instead dive forward, sweeping his feet from under him. The man falls in stunned disbelief at your unorthodox tactic, his sword clattering on the cave floor. In a flash, you regain your feet and swing your blade backhanded directly into his face guard, splitting his helmet and then his skull. He collapses with a thud. You give a brief look around the room at the now five corpses and proceed into the tunnel opposite the one you entered. |
| 100996 Reflexively, you move to step back, desperately parrying the next rapid succession of blows. You marvel at the speed of the man's blade, given the size of his sword and the weight of his mail, and you know your chances to seize victory will be few. You step forward, hoping to come well within the killing arc of his sword and sweep your own blade upwards in a powerful arc of your own... |
| 100997 As you step confidently into the room, the guards struggle to stand up, each giving a drunken approximation of either a bow or a salute. "Itsh about time you gotsh here!" one says. "How long doesh a patrol take?" |
| 100998 A second chimes in, "Yeah, you know ol' Lord Funraultâ€â€hehe, I mean Fernaultâ€â€wantsh hish gold, and he wantsh it when he wantsh it! Sho you besht getsh goin', and I hopesh you gotsh a lot out of all thosh peasants! Hehe!" |
| 100999 Attack the guards. |
| 101000 Move on to the passage opposite the one you entered. |
| 101001 As you step confidently into the room, the guards struggle to stand up, each giving a drunken approximation of either a bow or a salute. "Itsh about time you gotsh here!" one says. "How long doesh a patrol take?" |
| 101002 A second chimes in, "Yeah, you know ol' Lord Fernault wantsh hish gold, and he wantsh it when he wantsh it! Sho you besht getsh goin' Hey, wait a minute. Didn't the patrol get back an hour ago?" The group nods, and the drunkard points at you. "Then who'sh <PRO_HESHE>?" The soldiers quickly draw their weapons, and you are forced to fight. |
| 101003 You slip the ring on, step boldly into the room, and head to the opposite exit. The guards are so engrossed in their cards and food fight that they don't even hear your footsteps. Soon, you have put the group behind you and are heading further into the mountain. |
| 101004 Really? You run away? What kind of adventure is that, you coward? Time to reconsider. |
| 101005 Attack the new warrior. |
| 101006 Nope. I'm done. I'm going to run away. |
| 101007 A short distance later, the passage widens into a room roughly thirty feet square with a recess in the far wall that is covered by heavy iron bars surrounding a crude, locked oaken door. At first, you see only darkness when you peer into the gloom behind the bars, but then the shadows shift and two figures emerge: a middle-aged man with piercing blue eyes and a wild, unkempt beard and a pretty young girl in her teens. |
| 101008 The man eyes you warily. "You don't look familiar," he states hesitantly. "Are you with our captors?" |
| 101009 Answer that you are not. |
| 101010 Answer that you are. |
| 101011 Ask who they are. |
| 101012 He sighs, "I am Aldaron and this is Peldea, both of the village of Berenford. Peldea is a hostage kept here to ensure her father, a blacksmith, works adequately to supply Lord Fernault's troops with weapons. I came here some days ago hoping to talk the lord into leaving the region, and if he would not see reason, I was prepared to kill him. I am a priest of Lathander, you see, and I thought the Morninglord would protect me, but I was not prepared for what I found here." |
| 101013 "I convinced the guards to let me meet Lord Fernault. They laughed, but in the end, they agreed. But when I was led into his chamber, I saw very little of Fernault. It was a huge cavern, and he spoke from the shadows. I pleaded with him to leave, but he gave my request no regard. After a few minutes, he tired of the conversation, and that's when he made his move." |
| 101014 "The shadow itself surrounded me. I could barely take it in before I was knocked unconscious. The next thing I knew, I awoke in this cell, and I've been a prisoner ever since. I never got a good look at Lord Fernault, but this I know. He is most definitely not human, nor is he an elf or dwarf or anything else you might expect." |
| 101015 "Now, I would beg you to free us, but the key is in Fernault's chamber, and I fear you will have no better luck than I did. However, if you can recover the keys and free me, I shall help you do battle with Lord Fernault if you so choose." You bid the pair farewell and continue on further into the mountain. |
| 101016 "A shame." The man shrugs as both prisoners return to the gloom of the cell. |
| 101017 Admit that you lied and really aren't with their captors. |
| 101018 Continue on deeper into the mountain. |
| 101019 The passage into the mountain now takes a deep plunge, and the air becomes stifling as the little breeze that once existed stills. After some time, the tunnel gives way to a large cavern dotted by torches that fail to completely illuminate the gloom. A crude throne sits upon a stone dais hewn into the far end, and the cavern is littered with large piles of coins and jewels. |
| 101020 Enter the cavern cautiously. |
| 101021 Enter the cavern boldly. |
| 101022 Put on your ring of invisibility and sneak into the cavern. |
| 101023 You slip into the chamber, keeping your back to the wall, and carefully edge your way around the cavern. The air is now so hot that sweat pours down your face, and you hear nothing except the popping of the flickering torches. Suddenly, a voice rings out in the gloom. |
| 101024 You stride confidently into the chamber, coolly surveying the cavern for any signs of movement. The air is now so hot that sweat pours down your face, and you hear nothing except the popping of the flickering torches. Suddenly, a voice rings out in the gloom. |
| 101025 You slip on your ring of invisibility and enter the chamber, coolly surveying the cavern for any signs of movement. The air is now so hot that sweat pours down your face, and you hear nothing except the popping of the flickering torches. Suddenly, a voice rings out. "Do you really think such petty magics will fool me? Your attempt at deception would be laughable were it not so insulting!" |
| 101026 "I see you, puny one," slithers the mellifluous tenor. The voice echoes around the cavern, but you are unable to see any living being through the gloom. "I am curious as to why you have entered the domain of Fernault the Ravager. That you have done so proves you are either very brave... or very stupid." |
| 101027 Ask that Fernault leave the people here in peace. |
| 101028 Demand that Fernault leave the people here in peace. |
| 101029 Ask that Fernault free his two prisoners. |
| 101030 Demand that Fernault free his two prisoners. |
| 101031 State that you are a treasure hunter and are here for the gold and jewels. |
| 101032 The voice laughs hollowly. "And what possible reason would I have to do that when everything here is proceeding exactly as I desire it?" |
| 101033 Threaten the voice with death if it does not give in to your demands. |
| 101034 Offer gold if the voice will give in to your demands. |
| 101035 The voice sneers, "You are in no position to make demands of me, maggot! It is MY word that is law here, not yours!" |
| 101036 Threaten the voice with death if it does not give in to your demands. |
| 101037 Offer gold if the voice will give in to your demands. |
| 101038 The voice sneers, "Then the explanation is that you are stupid and not brave. To make such an admission shows that you value your life very little." |
| 101039 "Death? YOU think to cause MY death? So very foolish. But at least you are right in sensing that this conversation is bound to lead nowhere but violence." |
| 101040 "I smell gold as easily as you insignificant worms smell a roast on a flame, and you do not have enough gold to buy any favor from me, no matter how insignificant. And even if you did, I would simply kill you and take it. Now I have lost interest in you, but I will allow you to go in peace if you leave at once." |
| 101041 Threaten the voice with death if it does not give in to your demands. |
| 101042 Leave Mount Redigar and abandon the quest. |
| 101043 Really? You abandon the quest? What kind of adventure is that, you coward? Time to reconsider. |
| 101044 Threaten the voice with death if it does not give in to your demands. |
| 101045 Nope. I'm done. I'm going to run away. |
| 101046 The very shadows begin to shift and coalesce into a frightening figureâ€â€tall, muscular, and bulkyâ€â€that stands up, filling the cavern. Two expansive wings explode outwards and a pair of massive paws bearing a bevy of two-foot-long talons scrape down upon the floor a few feet in front of you. The entire figure is coated in thick scales, a seemingly impenetrable armor dark maroon in color. |
| 101047 Two yellow orbs fly open above you and are soon joined by hissing fangs and smoking nostrils. "You wanted Fernault the Ravager?" the beast asks in the same lilting tenor that seems strangely light considering its girth. "Well, now you've got Fernault the Ravager!" |
| 101048 The sight of the massive dragon is overwhelming, and you feel the slightest hint of fear in the pit of your stomach, but you are soon awash in a calm that seems almost supernatural. That you can look such a beast in the face with no emotion is curious, but you have little time to think on it further as you draw your sword and face it. |
| 101049 The sight of the massive dragon is overwhelming, and fear begins to well up in you uncontrollably. You turn to flee, but the moment you sever your gaze from the creature, the fear dissipates to a controllable level. You have little time to think on it further as you draw your sword and turn to face the creature. |
| 101050 The sight of the massive dragon is overwhelming, and fear wells up in you uncontrollably. You flee from the chamber, all thoughts other than escape of no concern. You vaguely hear the dragon laughing and jeering you as you flee, but any consideration of pride is far from your mind. |
| 101051 After an indeterminate time, a sense of calm overcomes you, and you look around to find yourself in the prison room where you met the middle-aged man and the young girl. The man sees your confusion. "Dragon fear," he states matter-of-factly. "Nothing you can do, but I was able to calm you through the divine powers Lathander grants me. You should now be able to face Fernault without any further fear... at least of the supernatural variety." |
| 101052 Return to the cavern. |
| 101053 Leave Mount Redigar and abandon the quest. |
| 101054 You thank the priest and return to the cavern. The dragon immediately spies you and eyes you curiously, one eye cocked. "How is it that you return so soon? Ah," it sniggers, "the Lathanderite. I knew I should have killed him, but by restoring your courage, at least he has granted me the pleasure of rending you apart!" |
| 101055 Really? You abandon the quest? What kind of adventure is that, you coward? Time to reconsider. |
| 101056 Return to the cavern and face the dragon. |
| 101057 Nope. I'm done. I'm going to run away. |
| 101058 The fanged jaws open and begin to inhale air in such volume that you fear you might be sucked up into them. Looking deep into the beast's throat, you see the air intake is acting as a bellows within the creature's gut. The great furnace within is even now building a large flame that erupts into the creature's throat, and you realize with dread that the air that is getting sucked in must also eventually be blown out. You dive back into the narrow passage, hoping the walls will protect you from the inferno about to be unleashed. |
| 101059 The flames envelop you completely, and you know you must be burned alive, yet you remain amazingly unaffected. In fact, you view the flames around you curiouslyâ€â€almost academicallyâ€â€as they curl around you, hungrily licking your hands, face, and body while doing absolutely no harm to you. Eventually, the flames relent, and you turn around in the soot-blackened tunnel. |
| 101060 You slam yourself to the ground and roll into a depression that shields you as the flames roar by overhead. The oxygen is burned away, starving your lungs and suffocating you as you feel the hair on your neck and head singeing. You gasp for air and endure the overwhelming burning on your back for what seems like an eternity, but eventually the flames relent, and you roll over gasping in the soot-blackened tunnel. |
| 101061 You slam yourself to the ground hoping to find any cover that might shield you from the flames, but it is too late. The oxygen is burned away, starving your lungs and suffocating you as your body is engulfed in the searing heat. It doesn't take long for you to lose consciousness, never to awaken again. |
| 101062 You see a large reptilian eye peering up the tunnel at you. "Ahh..." the dragon exclaims as the eye widens in understanding. "The cloak you wear is enchanted with flame resistance. Very clever, mortal, but my talons and fangs are still more than enough. Come back out here and face me!" |
| 101063 Return to the cavern and face the dragon. |
| 101064 Leave Mount Redigar and abandon the quest. |
| 101065 You see a large reptilian eye peering up the tunnel at you. "Incredible that you survived that, mortal," the dragon exclaims as the eye widens in amazement, "but my talons and fangs are still more than enough. Come back out here and face me!" |
| 101066 Return to the cavern and face the dragon. |
| 101067 Leave Mount Redigar and abandon the quest. |
| 101068 Really? You abandon the quest? What kind of adventure is that, you coward? Time to reconsider. |
| 101069 Return to the cavern and face the dragon. |
| 101070 Nope. I'm done. I'm going to run away. |
| 101071 You return to the cavern, sword in hand, to find the dragon eying you with what might be describedâ€â€remotelyâ€â€as respect. "No fear, no flames," it mutters. "Looks like we'll have to do this the old-fashioned way!" Without any further warning, it swipes a massive talon towards you! |
| 101072 You dodge the massive paw with an acrobatic roll and come up, sword swinging. You connect, severing one of the dragon's talons. The beast howls in rage and pushes upwards, wings outstretched into the gloom, but a telltale thud followed by collapsing rock reveals that the monster's mobility is severely restricted in what for it is a small space. |
| 101073 The claws slam into you, knocking you forcefully to the ground, but you are able to position your body such that the subsequent rolling launches you back on your feet, sword still in hand. The beast howls in triumph and swipes at you again. |
| 101074 Try to dodge and parry the claws again. |
| 101075 Take cover in the hallway. |
| 101076 Run towards the stone dais to gain some height. |
| 101077 You step back into the hallway as the claw scratches and pushes its way into the opening, grasping for you. You swing your sword at the paw and connect, severing one of the dragon's talons. The beast howls in rage as it withdraws its battered hand and pushes upwards, wings outstretched into the gloom, but a telltale thud followed by collapsing rock reveals that the monster's mobility is severely restricted in what for it is a small space. Frustrated, it lunges at the opening again, ripping away the earth with its claws until you are once more exposed. |
| 101078 You attempt to withdraw into the hallway, but the monster is too quick. It grabs you and flings you easily to the ground like a rag doll. Your instincts kick in, and you are able to regain your feet quickly, sword still in hand. The beast howls in triumph and swipes at you again. |
| 101079 Try to dodge and parry the claws again. |
| 101080 Take cover in the hallway. |
| 101081 Run towards the stone dais to gain some height. |
| 101082 You gain the first few steps just as the monster rounds on you. You dodge the massive paw with an acrobatic roll and come up, sword swinging. You connect, severing one of the dragon's talons. The beast howls in rage and pushes upwards, wings outstretched into the gloom, but a telltale thud followed by collapsing rock reveals that the monster's mobility is severely restricted in what for it is a small space. |
| 101083 You sprint for the dais, but the monster is too quick. It grabs you and flings you easily to the ground like a rag doll. Your instincts kick in, and you are able to regain your feet quickly, sword still in hand. The beast howls in triumph and swipes at you again. |
| 101084 Try to dodge and parry the claws again. |
| 101085 Take cover in the hallway. |
| 101086 Run towards the stone dais to gain some height. |
| 101087 The claws slam into you, and you fly into the cavern wall with a thud. Bones crunch audibly and pain washes over every inch of you. You struggle to move again, but your battered body no longer responds properly. The beast howls in triumph and lunges at you again. Unable to move, you are quickly overwhelmed. The world fades to black, the sight of gnashing fangs the last you see. |
| 101088 Frustrated by his inability to maneuver, Fernault launches at you, this time with fangs bared! |
| 101089 Meet its fangs with your sword head-on. |
| 101090 Take cover in the hallway. |
| 101091 Run towards the stone dais to gain some height. |
| 101092 Frustrated by his inability to maneuver, Fernault launches at you, this time with fangs bared! |
| 101093 Meet its fangs with your sword head-on. |
| 101094 Retreat further up the dais. |
| 101095 As the fangs reach for you, you drop to the floor, roll under the jaw, and thrust upwards with your sword, piercing through the scales and burying your blade to the hilt. Fernault howls and rears backwards, pulling you up to a standing position as you wrench the blade free from its bleeding jaw. The dragon emits a mighty roar that again shakes debris loose from the ceiling. |
| 101096 As the maw hungrily reaches for you, you swing your sword head-on, parrying the razor-sharp fang, but the force of the dragon's lunge pushes you backwards against the cavern wall, knocking the breath from your body. You gasp for air as the creature howls in glee. Sensing your imminent demise, it again lunges at you, fangs bared. |
| 101097 Meet its fangs with your sword head-on. |
| 101098 Take cover in the hallway. |
| 101099 Run towards the stone dais to gain some height. |
| 101100 You retreat further into the hallway as the fangs reach for you, the muzzle shoveling away ever greater portions of the tunnel. You drop to the floor, roll under the jaw, and thrust upwards with your sword, piercing through the scales and burying your blade to the hilt. Fernault howls and rears backwards, pulling you clean out of the hallway and back up to a standing position, allowing you to wrench the blade free from its bleeding jaw. The dragon emits a mighty roar that again shakes debris loose from the ceiling. |
| 101101 As the maw hungrily reaches for you, you give ground and slip into the tunnel again as the razor-sharp fangs slice harmlessly in front of you. The dragon snorts, knocking you to the ground and then again ruthlessly claws away yet more of the hallway until you are once more exposed. You regain your feet as the creature howls in glee. Sensing your imminent demise, it again lunges at you, fangs bared. |
| 101102 Meet its fangs with your sword head-on. |
| 101103 Take cover in the hallway. |
| 101104 Run towards the stone dais to gain some height. |
| 101105 You climb the first several steps by the time Fernault has properly rounded on you. As his maw again comes in for the kill, you drop to the floor and allow yourself to slide back down the steps until you are positioned under the jaw. You thrust upwards with your sword, piercing through the scales and burying your blade to the hilt. Fernault howls and rears backwards, pulling you up to a standing position as you wrench the blade free from its bleeding jaw. The dragon emits a mighty roar that again shakes debris loose from the ceiling. |
| 101106 You make a run for the dais but are too slow. The dragon cuts you off, and you desperately parry the razor-sharp fang that pass inches from your face, but the force of the dragon's lunge pushes you backwards against the cavern wall, knocking the breath from your body. You gasp for air as the creature howls in glee. Sensing your imminent demise, it again lunges at you, fangs bared. |
| 101107 Meet its fangs with your sword head-on. |
| 101108 Take cover in the hallway. |
| 101109 Run towards the stone dais to gain some height. |
| 101110 As the fangs reach for you, you drop to the floor and allow yourself to slide down the steps until you are positioned under the jaw. You thrust upwards with your sword, piercing through the scales and burying your blade to the hilt. Fernault howls and rears backwards, pulling you up to a standing position as you wrench the blade free from its bleeding jaw. The dragon emits a mighty roar that again shakes debris loose from the ceiling. |
| 101111 As the maw hungrily reaches for you, you swing your sword head-on, parrying the razor-sharp fang, but the force of the dragon's lunge pushes you backwards into the stone steps, knocking the breath from your body. You gasp for air as the creature howls in glee. Sensing your imminent demise, it again lunges at you, fangs bared. |
| 101112 Meet its fangs with your sword head-on. |
| 101113 Retreat further up the dais. |
| 101114 You climb almost to the top by the time Fernault has closed the gap between you. As his maw again comes in for the kill, you drop to the floor and allow yourself to slide back down the steps until you are positioned under the jaw. You thrust upwards with your sword, piercing through the scales and burying your blade to the hilt. Fernault howls and rears backwards, pulling you up to a standing position as you wrench the blade free from its bleeding jaw. The dragon emits a mighty roar that again shakes debris loose from the ceiling. |
| 101115 You give ground, trying to gain still more height, but are too slow. The dragon cuts you off, and you desperately parry the razor-sharp fang that pass inches from your face, but the force of the dragon's lunge pushes you backwards into the stone steps, knocking the breath from your body. You gasp for air as the creature howls in glee. Sensing your imminent demise, it again lunges at you, fangs bared. |
| 101116 Meet its fangs with your sword head-on. |
| 101117 Retreat further up the dais. |
| 101118 You try to roll backwards acrobatically, but you are too slow. The creature's maw closes over you. Bones crunch audibly and pain washes over your body. Unable to move, you quickly succumb to death. The world fades to black, the sight of gnashing fangs the last you see. |
| 101119 The creature roars at you, blood trickling from its jaw. "Perhaps you are not so weak as I once imagined," it concedes warily, "but you are still little more than a worm compared to my draconic majesty! It is now time to end this!" Fernault again lunges, this time bringing both of his claws and his mouth to bear. |
| 101120 You realize you cannot dodge or parry all three attacks at once, but you DO see an opportunity. With Fernault intently staring at you and his face lunging in for the kill, you see as in slow-motion his eyes are opened wide and growing ever larger in your view. A well-placed strike would pierce his brain and kill him. With no other options, you hurl your sword haft over blade like a giant knife right at the creature's eye... |
| 101121 ...Your blade sails true! Fernault rears back, roaring furiously as he claws at his empty eye socket. He thrashes around the room, careening wildly into the walls and roof, sending an ever larger cascade of rocks from above. You realize that it is only a matter of time before Mount Redigar collapses in on itself, and you flee back down the hallway you came from. |
| 101122 ...Fernault diverts one of his massive paws to swipe the blade from the air, sending it clattering harmlessly against the wall. "What a useless gesture!" he grunts dismissively as you roll under his other paw and retrieve your weapon. The dragon again rounds on you, coming in for the kill, but it seems the gods have given you another chance at victory. You again hurl your sword haft over blade towards the dragon's eye... |
| 101123 As you pass the prison cells, you see that the collapsing mountain has bent the bars such that the door has torn open. The man is ushering the young girl onwards, and the three of you flee up the ramp towards the sunlight beyond, the corridor collapsing perilously close to your heels as you run. At last, you burst into the open air amidst a cloud of dust and the deafening roar of a rockslide. |
| 101124 You keep running until you are well away from the mountain. At last, you turn to see only a pile of rubble where once Mount Redigar stood. You know that Fernault is dead, for not even a dragon can survive a mountain collapsing on top of it, and without Fernault, his forces will scatter to the four winds. |
| 101125 You are a hero upon your return to Berenford, and you are forever known as the slayer of Fernault the Ravager. The people love you and elect you mayor and high defender, both posts you are sure you could keep for life, if you so desire. |
| 101126 The villagers send multiple expeditions to the ruined mountain, and over time they collect a large amount of coins and jewels, much of which they willingly give to you. They even find your sword, still buried to the hilt in the dragon's decaying skull, and the weapon's fame lives on long after even you have turned to dust. |
| 101127 And so our story comes to an end. You have everything you could want: fame, wealth, and power. What you do with them is a story for another time. |
| 101128 ...Your aim proves faulty as the sword sails cleanly over the dragon's head and clatters noisily in the darkness beyond. But it matters not for you anymore, as the dragon's claws forcefully knock you to the ground. Helpless to move, the sight of gnashing fangs is the last one you see in this life. |
| 101129 Would you answer some questions for me? |
| 101130 Give <PRO_HIMHER> a little time to prepare. Excuse me. |
| 101131 Give me another fight. |
| 101132 Leave me alone for a bit. I need to prepare myself. |
| 101133 Give me something to kill. |
| 101134 You can bugger off and let me prepare for my next fight. |
| 101135 Feed me another opponent. |
| 101136 I've some questions for you. |
| 101137 Leave me to prepare. Go. Quickly. |
| 101138 Another fight. |
| 101139 Answers to some questions. |
| 101140 Time to prepare myself. Excuse me. |
| 101141 Rat Poison |
| 101142 Mirror Shard |
| 101143 Stannel Eibor's Ring |
| 101144 Badly enough I'd rather not go through it a second time. I'll come back later. |
| 101145 Something other than fighting for my life. I'll return later. |
| 101146 Now that I think about it, no. I'll come back later. |
| 101147 Captain said you can pass. Go on, he's waiting for you. |
| 101148 Only Master Dennaton, the Planar Hunters, and their servants are allowed through here. Go back the way you came. |
| 101149 You must be one of the new Nosers. Come on in. They'll be expecting you upstairs. |
| 101150 You again. I see they're keeping you busy up there. Come on in. |
| 101151 Move along, Noser. Go up or get out, make up your mind. |
| 101152 They're giving keys to slaves now? Bad policy, but it's not my problem. |
| 101153 You, come over here. Let me have a look at you. |
| 101154 I recognize you. You're not a Noser; you're a performer. Your trick worked on my boy downstairs, but you don't have me fooled. |
| 101155 You, stop right there. You're not supposed to be up here. |
| 101156 Sure he did. And I'm Duke Belt's long lost son. |
| 101157 Nobody gets lost up here. Nobody who isn't trespassing, anyway. |
| 101158 Dennaton would have told me if a new staff member were coming. |
| 101159 You and I both know you're not supposed to be here. Dennaton wouldn't be happy about this. Not at all. |
| 101160 Maybe he doesn't need to find out. I could let you go on your wayâ€â€if you make it worth my while. |
| 101161 You could buy passage from me for, say, 5,000 gold? Or you could take care of something I've been wanting dealt with. What would you prefer? |
| 101162 Welcome to the Hunters' Lounge. Don't call attention to yourself or we'll both be in trouble. |
| 101163 Then you've no choice but to do me that little service, do you? |
| 101164 You won't, not if you like breathing. |
| 101165 I said I wanted you to take care of something. It's actually someone. Worst thing about it is he's one of my guards. But he's got loose lips. Can't keep guard business between us guards. |
| 101166 I can't fire him. He's one of Dennaton's nephews, which means his casual talk might reach our master's ears. And that wouldn't be good for morale. |
| 101167 His name's Branson. He's usually on his bunk when he's off-duty. Cut his throat, pierce his heart, I don't care. Just get it done and I'll turn my head on your comings and goings here and have my boys to do the same. |
| 101168 Are you sure you wouldn't rather pay the gold? Once I tell you what I need, there's no turning backâ€â€that offer's off the table. |
| 101169 Master Dennaton asked me to get something from the Winged's room. |
| 101170 Sorry, I'm lost. I'll just go back the way I came. |
| 101171 I'm the new Noser, but I haven't received my uniform yet. |
| 101172 Take the gold, you greedy swine. |
| 101173 I don't have that kind of gold. |
| 101174 What would you want taken care of? |
| 101175 And if I refuse? |
| 101176 Let's hear it. |
| 101177 Something tells me I'm happier not knowing. Take the gold. |
| 101178 I don't have that kind of money. |
| 101179 Fine. Tell me what you need. |
| 101180 You again? Don't you have things to take care of downstairs? Go back and don't return before it's done. |
| 101181 I'm told Branson is nowhere to be found, but nobody's seen his body. If you took care of him, what's your proof? |
| 101182 Dennaton has one just like it. It's apparently very important in their family. Good work. But what did you do with the body? |
| 101183 All right. Well then, the Hunters' Lounge is yours to explore. Don't attract attention to yourself or we'll both feed Stirv's beasts. |
| 101184 I hear you've taken care of things downstairs. Good <PRO_GIRLBOY>. The Hunters' Lounge is yours to explore. Don't attract attention to yourself or we'll both feed Stirv's beasts. |
| 101185 You and I have nothing to talk about. Keep it that way. Stay out of my trouble. |
| 101186 Here's his family ring. I got it off his body. |
| 101187 It's wyvern dung now. |
| 101188 Piled it in with the other arena cadavers. |
| 101189 Trade secret. |
| 101190 Hey there, friend. How're you doing? |
| 101191 That can be arranged for 500 gold pieces each. |
| 101192 Then you don't have this kind of clothing. Get back to me when your fortunes change. |
| 101193 Nice doing business with you. |
| 101194 Don't we all? I think one of the clerics keeps a stash. They're probably not the only ones. This place will drive you to drink. |
| 101195 Why would youâ€â€never mind, I don't want to know. I'm sure the kitchen must have something to deal with the rats. Have you tried the merchants yet? Or some of your fellow performers, perhaps? |
| 101196 Sure. We take messages up and down all the time. |
| 101197 Seriously? Well, if you want to die, there are worse ways to go, I suppose. I'll give her the message. |
| 101198 I'll tell her next time I see her. I'm sure she'll come running to find you. |
| 101199 I'd like to buy some of these servants' uniforms. |
| 101200 I need some liquor. |
| 101201 I'm looking for some poison. |
| 101202 I need to get a message to Joker. |
| 101203 Well enough, thanks. Farewell. |
| 101204 Here's the gold. |
| 101205 I could buy the finest silks and leathers for that kind of money. Forget it. |
| 101206 Could I buy some of these servants' uniforms? |
| 101207 I don't doubt it. I'm looking for some poison. Can you help me with that? |
| 101208 I'd like to ask Joker about that. Could you get a message to her for me? |
| 101209 Thanks. Farewell. |
| 101210 Good ideas, all. I'll try them out. On a different subject, may I have some of these servants' uniforms? |
| 101211 That's one poison taken care of. Do you know where I might find some of the more enjoyable kind? I need a drink. |
| 101212 I need to get a message to Joker. Can you do that for me? |
| 101213 That'll be all. Thank you. |
| 101214 Tell Joker I challenge her to a drinking contest. |
| 101215 Mention to her I have a drink so strong it'll knock her on her rear. |
| 101216 I'll bear that in mind. Thanks. |
| 101217 What do you want, slave? |
| 101218 Are you Branson? |
| 101219 Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. |
| 101220 So what if I am? |
| 101221 Yeah. Sure he did. |
| 101222 What? Nobody knows that... except the captain. I see. |
| 101223 Well, I suppose I could kill you first, but that's a temporary solution. The captain isn't the sort to give up. And I can't go to my uncle; he made it clear he wouldn't look after me down here. Crap. What should I do? |
| 101224 You're a good <PRO_MANWOMAN>. Here, take this. It's our family ring. My uncle has one just like it. Tell the captain you got it off my body. He'll believe it. |
| 101225 I don't keep that sort of gold on me, but here's the key to my footlocker. You'll find enough gold in there and maybe a bit more. Take it all. I'm getting out of here. Oh, take this too. It's our family ring. Dennaton has one just like it. Tell the captain you got it off my body. He'll believe it. |
| 101226 It's a fight you want, eh? Let's go, then. You'll find I give as good as I get! |
| 101227 Your captain asked me to kill you. |
| 101228 Your captain thinks you talk too much. |
| 101229 He told me Dennaton's your uncle. |
| 101230 No, honestly. He sent me to kill you. |
| 101231 You're just too cocky for your own good. I think I'll do it after all. |
| 101232 Run. I'll tell him you're dead and that I took care of the body. |
| 101233 Give me 2,000 gold pieces and I'll let you go. I'll tell him you're dead and that I disposed of your corpse. |
| 101234 There's nothing you can do, other than die. |
| 101235 Run. I'll tell him you're dead and that I took care of the body. |
| 101236 Give me 2,000 gold pieces. I'll let you go and convince the captain you're dead. |
| 101237 I'll make this as quick as possible. |
| 101238 A guarded door blocks the stair to Dennaton and the Planar Hunters' living quarters. Only they and the Nosers, the upstairs servants, are allowed through. |
| 101239 One of the Nosers offered to sell me some Noser uniforms so I might fool the guard and get up to Dennaton and the Planar Hunters' living quarters. |
| 101240 I've purchased the Noser uniforms I will need to get past the guard. |
| 101241 The Noser uniforms are back where they belong, with no one the wiser. No one who matters, at any rate. |
| 101242 I've picked the lock on the door leading up to Dennaton and the Planar Hunters' living quarters. The guard's been dealt with. |
| 101243 Ellraish's key to the stairs worked. The guard didn't intercept me. |
| 101244 The Noser uniform worked; the guard at the stairway door didn't give me a second look before letting me through. |
| 101245 The guard captain saw through my Noser disguise and stopped me at the end of the hall leading to the stairway. |
| 101246 The guard captain stopped me in the hall leading to the stairs up to Dennaton and the Planar Hunters' chambers. He was deaf to my excuses. |
| 101247 I finally gained access to the living quarters of Dennaton and the Planar Hunters after bribing the guard captain. I must be careful not to arouse suspicion. |
| 101248 Since I didn't bribe him, the guard captain tasked me with killing Dennaton's nephew, a guard named Branson. I understand he can usually be found in the guard quarters when he's off-duty. |
| 101249 I have killed the guard Branson at his captain's request. |
| 101250 I let Branson go. He gave me his family ring so I can convince his captain I killed him. |
| 101251 The guard captain received a report I killed Branson. He finally let me through to Dennaton and the Planar Hunters' chambers. I must be careful not to arouse further suspicion. |
| 101252 Thanks to the ring, the guard captain believes I killed Branson. He finally let me through to Dennaton and the Planar Hunters' living quarters. |
| 101253 Noser |
| 101254 Branson |
| 101255 Noser Uniform |
| 101256 This is one of the brightly colored outfits worn by Nosers, a group of high-ranking servants allowed into the chambers of Dennaton and his Planar Hunters. STATISTICS: Weight: 6 |
| 101257 Caught? No, no, my sad, cynical soldier of ill fortune. I am here of my own consent, to craft "The Black Pits 2: Eclectic Blood and Grue." That's the working title of my current compendium of characters cunning, captivating, andâ€â€in your caseâ€â€contentious and cantankerous. |
| 101258 Dennaton caught you too, huh? |
| 101259 What? |
| 101260 Lounge Guard |
| 101261 Lounge Noser |
| 101262 The pool. Stay away from it. |
| 101263 The what? |
| 101264 Pathetic. It's a marvel you've survived the pit this long. |
| 101265 Ah, what do you want? Never said it was a good joke. Another round? |
| 101266 The Joke's on Who I was told I could find some rat poison in one of the kitchen cupboards. |
| 101267 The Joke's on Who I found some rat poison in a kitchen cupboard. |
| 101268 The Joke's on Who One of the Nosers will deliver my drinking contest challenge to Joker. |
| 101269 The Joke's on Who One of the Nosers will tell Joker I have a drink strong enough to knock her on her rear. |
| 101270 How about now? |
| 101271 How about now? Still wanna play a game? |
| 101272 Yes! |
| 101273 I said yes. |
| 101274 Still yes. |
| 101275 Can you hear me? I said yes. |
| 101276 Yes, yes, I get it. Move on. |
| 101277 I'm going to kill you if you don't move forward. |
| 101278 Great! We're gonna play a really fun game. But you gotta do some roleplaying! What do you wanna play as: a fighter, a wizard, or a thief? |
| 101279 I shall take on the role of a fighter. |
| 101280 A wizard sounds like fun. |
| 101281 I enjoy sneaking around. Let me try being a thief. |
| 101282 A fighter's a fine choice for your first game. I'm gonna be the dungeon master, which means I create the story and situations and then you get to play through them! I'll even roll your dice for you. Ready to play? Good, let's go. |
| 101283 Ah, a fan of magic. Wizard it is, then. I'm gonna be the dungeon master, which means I create the story and situations and then you get to play through them! I'll even roll your dice for you. Ready to play? Good, let's go. |
| 101284 Okay, thief it is! I'm gonna be the dungeon master, which means I create the story and situations and then you get to play through them! I'll even roll your dice for you. Ready to play? Good, let's go. |
| 101285 All right. |
| 101286 No. No, no, no. Noooo... |
| 101287 Yes. Fine. Let's play a game. |
| 101288 Please. No. |
| 101289 NO! |
| 101290 Ooh, a wizard! I always wanted to be a wizard too, even got hold of a magic wand once, but I had to give it back after I turned the local priest's head into a rabbit. Not a rabbit head, mind you, a whole rabbit. Going to the temple was never quite the same after that. |
| 101291 Anyway, let me just get my Tome of Adventure here... okay, got it. Let's get started. |
| 101292 It is a dark and stormy newt, and you have just... wait. Night. It was a dark and stormy night. Sorry about that. Spilled some tea on the page there. Let's start again. |
| 101293 It is a dark and stormy night, and you have just arrived at the place you are to meet your mentor. The Wagon's End is a tavern bright and warm, a beacon of refuge in the unseasonably cold gale that has borne down upon the small country village. You make your way through the deep mud of the road and pound heavily on the barred door. |
| 101294 A small window cut in the door slides open and a critical eye examines you face. After a moment, the window slides shut and the door is opened. A hunched man pulls you in quickly and then closes and bars the door just as rapidly. |
| 101295 He addresses you. "What in the name of all the Hells has possessed you to walk the roads of Marynford at this late hour? Do you care nothing for your life? Well, you are safe indoors now, and I recommend you stay that way until the next day's dawning." |
| 101296 After his scolding, the man shuffles back behind the bar and disappears through a door, muttering to himself about "the young people of today." You look around the room and are disturbed and surprised to note that your mentor is nowhere to be seen. There is one patron eating at the bar. |
| 101297 Talk to the patron at the bar. |
| 101298 Follow the old man through the door behind the bar. |
| 101299 Go outside and look for your mentor around the back of the inn. |
| 101300 Request a room for the evening and go to sleep. |
| 101301 As you sit down, the patron fixes his one good eye upon you, the other an opaque milky orb. "Bad place for travelin' at night. Ain't ye never heard of the curse? Ain't ye never heard of the tales? 'Tis only a fool's luck that ye even made it to the Wagon's End. By all rights, ye should be dead or worse." |
| 101302 Ask the man why the village is so dangerous at night. |
| 101303 Ask the man if he has seen your mentor. |
| 101304 Follow the old man through the door behind the bar. |
| 101305 Go outside and look for your mentor around the back of the inn. |
| 101306 Request a room for the evening and go to sleep. |
| 101307 The man looks incredulously at you. "Ye daft, are ye? Ain't ye never heard of the curse? 'Tis the curse what makes travelin' the roads so treacherous. 'Tis the curse what makes good folk bar their doors and keep lamps lit all the night long." The man turns back to his dinner and says no more to you. |
| 101308 Ask the man if he has seen your mentor. |
| 101309 Follow the old man through the door behind the bar. |
| 101310 Go outside and look for your mentor around the back of the inn. |
| 101311 Request a room for the evening and go to sleep. |
| 101312 "Mentor, eh? Is he wearin' a cloak like yourself? He is, is he? Can't say I've seen him. Been here most of the day shelterin' from the gale, and I ain't seen nobody." |
| 101313 Ask the man why the village is so dangerous at night. |
| 101314 Follow the old man through the door behind the bar. |
| 101315 Go outside and look for your mentor around the back of the inn. |
| 101316 Request a room for the evening and go to sleep. |
| 101317 As you pass through the door behind the old man, a loose floorboard creaks beneath your weight. The old man starts, upsetting a plate of potatoes and knocking several on the floor. He turns to you with a look of terror that turns to relief followed by indignation upon recognizing you. |
| 101318 "By the Hells, I thought it had come for me! What's the matter with you, sneaking up behind good folk at this hour of night? Nearly gave me my death's fright, you did. Thought the terror had come for me, sure as my pap's grave." The man bends to clean up the potatoes, muttering to himself. |
| 101319 Ask the man if he has seen your mentor. |
| 101320 Ask the man what he means by "the terror." |
| 101321 Talk to the patron at the bar. |
| 101322 Go outside and look for your mentor around the back of the inn. |
| 101323 Request a room for the evening and go to sleep. |
| 101324 "Haven't seen anyone but yourself and One-Eye Joe all day. You must have seen Joe eating at the bar as you came back here. Come to think of it, I did hear Essie Dawlins talking about a stranger in town dressed in a cloak. Maybe that's the feller you're looking for." |
| 101325 Ask the man what he means by "the terror." |
| 101326 Talk to the patron at the bar. |
| 101327 Go outside and look for your mentor around the back of the inn. |
| 101328 Request a room for the evening and go to sleep. |
| 101329 "Never heard of the Terror of Marynford? You really are new here, ain't ye? I'll not say much, as it's a bad omen to speak of such things after sundown, but I will tell ye that this town and the surrounding countryside carry a dark curse. Good folk don't venture outside at night, and those who do disappear." The man returns to cleaning the potatoes. |
| 101330 Ask the man if he has seen your mentor. |
| 101331 Talk to the patron at the bar. |
| 101332 Go outside and look for your mentor around the back of the inn. |
| 101333 Request a room for the evening and go to sleep. |
| 101334 The wind clutches at your cloak and the rain blurs your vision as you step back outside. You make your way slowly in the darkness toward the back of the inn, stumbling over the rotting remains of ruined oaken kegs as you proceed. |
| 101335 You find nothing of note in the back of the inn aside from a mutt, cowering in an overturned crate with a hole cut in one side. You turn to reenter the tavern when something catches your eye. In the distance, you see a shadow silhouetted by the intermittent flashes of lightning. |
| 101336 Return to the interior of the tavern. |
| 101337 Follow the shadow. |
| 101338 Stay where you are and watch. |
| 101339 You move quickly in the direction of the shadow and are able to catch several more fleeting glimpses of it before losing sight of it entirely. You realize that in your haste you have become lost, and it is half an hour before you find the inn again. |
| 101340 You squint into the darkness for half an hour but catch no sight of the fleeting shadow again. Finally, shivering and soaked, you make your way back to the inn. As you approach the front porch, the air grows frigid around you and you hear footsteps approaching. |
| 101341 "Get indoors, ye fool! Now!" The old man grabs you and pulls you indoors, barring the door behind you. Seconds after the door is barred, there is a horrible shriek and a beating on the door. The bar is solid and the door holds, and soon the beating and shrieking stop. The old man disappears through a door behind the bar. |
| 101342 Talk to the patron at the bar. |
| 101343 Follow the old man through the door behind the bar. |
| 101344 Request a room for the evening and go to sleep. |
| 101345 The old man hands you a rusted key and directs you to the stairs on the left side of the bar. You ascend, and the aged wood creaks in protest at your weight. The room is small, but the bed is soft and warm and you are soon asleep, though your dreams are plagued by a nameless horror. |
| 101346 You awake the next day to sunlight filtering through the grimy glass of your bedroom window. Dressing quickly, you descend the creaking stairs to find the common room of the inn deserted. You leave the key on the bar and exit through the main door. |
| 101347 The road to town is muddy and damp from the previous night's downpour, and your boots are heavy and soaked when you arrive in the square of the small town of Marynford. |
| 101348 The oaken doors are heavy and solemn as they silently swing closed behind you. An aging man clad in simple robes looks up from the altar to Lathander in the front of the temple. He smiles warmly as he sees you. "Hello, traveler, how may I be of service?" |
| 101349 Ask the man if he has seen your mentor. |
| 101350 Ask the man why the tavern owner bars his door at night. |
| 101351 Leave the temple. |
| 101352 "You say you are looking for a man clad in robes like yourself? I do believe I noticed someone fitting that description just yesterday. He was speaking to Essie Dawlins at her fruit stand in the town square. You might ask her about him." |
| 101353 Ask the man why the tavern owner bars his door at night. |
| 101354 Leave the temple. |
| 101355 The priest's face becomes grave. "It is good you have asked me, if you are not already aware. There is a curse upon Marynford and the surrounding lands. It has been so for years and years. Sadly, the curse originated within these very walls." |
| 101356 "My predecessor, a gifted and ambitious priest by the name of Brehan, desired to revive faith in Lathander among the people of Marynford. He preached, devoted his life to service, and offered assistance to all who were in need. Despite these measures, the devotion of the town remained tepid." |
| 101357 "Brehan became convinced that a display of power was needed to reveal the glory of Lathander to the villagers, so he undertook an expedition into a nearby ruin to rebuke and destroy a ghost that was rumored to reside there." |
| 101358 "He found and destroyed the ghost, but as the ghost faded from existence, it cursed him to eternal undeath. Brehan fell ill and soon became ghostly pale himself and increasingly terrified of the light of day." |
| 101359 "One morning, I entered the infirmary and found Brehan's attendant dead on the floor with two puncture wounds on her neck. The door to the temple was battered down, and a set of tracks led in the direction of the ancient ruins. Since then, those who venture out at night sometimes do not return." |
| 101360 Here. Take this talisman of Lathander. It may protect you if you run afoul of the beast. |
| 101361 Ask the man if he has seen your mentor. |
| 101362 Leave the temple. |
| 101363 The woman is young and pretty, and she smiles as you approach. "Two robed travelers in as many days. What a coincidence." |
| 101364 Ask the woman if she has seen your mentor. |
| 101365 Ask the woman why the tavern owner bars his doors at night. |
| 101366 Leave the woman. |
| 101367 "Yes, I have. Wearing a cloak similar to your own. He was buying food for a journey he was taking to the ruins south of town. Oh, I tried to warn him away, but he was resolute. I hope nothing has befallen him." |
| 101368 Ask the woman why the tavern owner bars his doors at night. |
| 101369 Leave the woman. |
| 101370 The woman turns pale and clutches the wooden table before her to steady herself. "We... we do not speak of such things. If you must know the answer to your question, ask the priest. He is in the temple. I... I can say no more about it. But take this garlic. It is said that the terror fears garlic." |
| 101371 Ask the woman if she has seen your mentor. |
| 101372 Leave the woman. |
| 101373 "Howdy. I'm Bugs, and this here is Finney. We reckoned you were new around here 'cause we've never seen you before and we know just 'bout everyone in town. What brings you to these parts?" |
| 101374 Ask the man if he has seen your mentor. |
| 101375 Ask the man why the tavern owner bars his door at night. |
| 101376 Leave the men. |
| 101377 "Hmm... A feller wearin' a robe like yours? Hey, Finney, didn't you say you saw a feller like that talking to Essie Dawlins a few days back? Yeah. Go talk to Essie by her fruit stand. She may know somethin'." |
| 101378 Ask the man why the tavern owner bars his door at night. |
| 101379 Leave the men. |
| 101380 "Hush now, <PRO_SIRMAAM>. We don't none of us talk about that out of doors. If you got questions 'bout that, best be asking the priest in the temple." He points to the temple of Lathander on the north side of the square. |
| 101381 Ask the man if he has seen your mentor. |
| 101382 You see a temple of Lathander on the north side of the square, a woman selling fruit to the east, and two young men talking under a tall oak in the center of the square. To the south, a road leads out of town and you think you see what appears to be a ruined tower in the distance. |
| 101383 Enter the temple. |
| 101384 Talk to the woman selling fruit. |
| 101385 Talk to the two men. |
| 101386 Follow the road to the south. |
| 101387 The south road appears little used, and the grass grows high on either side. You are lost in thought, pondering the fate of your mentor, when a figure leaps from hiding. The man is scarred heavily and points his sword at you. "Your money or your life, fool!" |
| 101388 Cast Magic Missile at the man. |
| 101389 Cast Sleep on the man. |
| 101390 Cast Charm Person on the man. |
| 101391 Try to flee. |
| 101392 Arcane power surges through you as you utter the final words of the incantation. The bandit's eyes widen as missiles of magical energy tear through his leather armor and throw him back on the road. He lies very, very still. |
| 101393 You search the man's corpse and find a few gold pieces. In his breast pocket where the magic missiles struck him, there appears to have been a letter. You try to read it, but much of it was destroyed by your magic. All you can make out is: "...talisman... Lathander..." |
| 101394 As your spell envelops the man, his features soften and he slumps to the road in a limp heap. You search him quickly and find a letter in his breast pocket. One section is of particular interest. It reads: "...procure a talisman of Lathander to protect yourself from the undead creature..." |
| 101395 You utter the last line of the incantation, and the man suddenly looks at his sword and chuckles. "Heh. What do I need this for, friend? Now, how may I be of service? Oh I know. I'll warn you of the danger in these parts." |
| 101396 "The villagers have somehow awakened an undead fiend, but there is a way to weaken it and drive it away. Simply acquire a talisman of Lathander, and it will not try to attack you. I am on my way to try to procure one this very day. Now, I must be off. Good luck!" |
| 101397 You turn and begin to run, but you are no match for the bandit's speed. He overtakes you, and you feel a burning pain in your back, then nothing at all as the ground rushes up to receive your dying body. |
| 101398 Oh, too bad. Looks like you have been slain. Better luck next time. |
| 101399 The bandit defeated, you stand on the lonely road. To the south lies the ancient ruin, and to the north lies the small town square. |
| 101400 Return to the town square. |
| 101401 Proceed south toward the ruin. |
| 101402 The magical projectiles streak unerringly toward their target and stop the charging skeleton in its tracks. Chunks of bone sail high into the air as it is obliterated. |
| 101403 Your spell leaves your fingers and settles over the undead creature, but it appears to be unaffected. The simple life force within the animated bones is immune to the enchantment. You struggle to begin another spell, but the undead monster is upon you and the ground rushes up to receive your lifeless body. |
| 101404 Eventually, you find yourself staring at crumbling stone walls and a decrepit tower, all that remain of a once-mighty fortress. As soon as you enter the ruined courtyard, a shriek erupts and a skeletal figure charges you! |
| 101405 Cast Magic Missile at the skeleton. |
| 101406 Cast Sleep at the skeleton. |
| 101407 Cast Charm person at the skeleton. |
| 101408 The courtyard has a ruined shed to the north which seems to have been visited recently. There is a ruined building to the south which appears undisturbed. There is also a dark doorway to the east which appears to have seen recent activity. Beside the door, you notice a shred of fabric the same color as your mentor's cloak. |
| 101409 Enter the ruined shed to the north. |
| 101410 Enter the undisturbed building to the south. |
| 101411 Enter the dark doorway to the east. |
| 101412 The rotten timber of the shed door gives way to your hand, and the decrepit wood falls to the ground before you, revealing a ghastly, dusty figure wrapped in strips of cloth, shambling forward from the darkness. |
| 101413 Cast Magic Missile at the mummy. |
| 101414 Cast Burning Hands at the mummy. |
| 101415 Cast Sleep at the mummy. |
| 101416 Cast Charm Person at the mummy. |
| 101417 The missiles strike the shambling figure and tear great holes in its chest. The creature stumbles to one knee, then slowly regains its footing, allowing you time to begin another spell. |
| 101418 Cast Burning Hands at the mummy. |
| 101419 Cast Sleep at the mummy. |
| 101420 Cast Charm Person at the mummy. |
| 101421 Flames arc forward from your outstretched hands, and the shambling figure is engulfed in an inferno of bright flames. It falls to the ground and thrashes as it is reduced to ashes. Glancing about the shed reveals nothing of value. |
| 101422 Your spell leaves your fingers and settles over the undead creature, but it appears to be unaffected. The simple life force within the dusty wraps is immune to the enchantment. You struggle to begin another spell, but the undead monster is upon you and the ground rushes up to receive your lifeless body. |
| 101423 The grass grows high and thick around the undisturbed building, and there are even some delicate flowers here that grow nowhere else in the bleak ruins. The door is untouched by decay and swings in easily at your touch. |
| 101424 On the ground before you lies a set of silver armor flanked by a heavy mace and an intricately engraved shield. You note the symbol of Lathander on the breastplate of the armor. On the belt of the armor is a flask of water which glows with a faint holy light. You take the holy water for future use. |
| 101425 You step through the dark threshold, and the air chills around you. A piercing shriek echoes in your head as torches on the walls of the ancient crypt flare with an unearthly blue fire. You fall to one knee as you look up and see a pale figure with large fangs. A vampire. |
| 101426 Cast Magic Missile at the vampire. |
| 101427 Cast Burning Hands at the vampire. |
| 101428 Cast Sleep at the vampire. |
| 101429 Cast Charm Person at the vampire. |
| 101430 Brandish the symbol of Lathander. |
| 101431 Smash your clove of garlic and throw it at the vampire. |
| 101432 Throw the flask of holy water at the vampire. |
| 101433 The magical projectiles strike the vampire in the chest, but to your amazement and dismay leave only minor scorches on the skin of the undead monster. The creature winces slightly but continues to advance. You have time to prepare another spell. |
| 101434 Cast Burning Hands at the vampire. |
| 101435 Cast Sleep at the vampire. |
| 101436 Cast Charm Person at the vampire. |
| 101437 Brandish the symbol of Lathander. |
| 101438 Smash your clove of garlic and throw it at the vampire. |
| 101439 Throw the flask of holy water at the vampire. |
| 101440 The flames that arc forth from your hand singe the beast's skin and cause it to shield its eyes, but it is otherwise unharmed. The vampire advances slowly, giving you time to prepare another spell. |
| 101441 Cast Magic Missile at the vampire. |
| 101442 Cast Sleep at the vampire. |
| 101443 Cast Charm Person at the vampire. |
| 101444 Brandish the symbol of Lathander. |
| 101445 Smash your clove of garlic and throw it at the vampire. |
| 101446 Throw the flask of holy water at the vampire. |
| 101447 Your spell leaves your fingers and settles over the vampire. It smiles mockingly as it shrugs off your enchantment. You struggle to begin another spell, but the undead monster is upon you and the ground rushes up to receive your lifeless body. |
| 101448 As you hold up the talisman of Lathander, the crypt flares in a bright holy light. The vampire begins to smoke and stumbles back against the far wall quivering and covering its eyes. |
| 101449 Cast Magic Missile at the vampire. |
| 101450 Cast Burning Hands at the vampire. |
| 101451 Smash your clove of garlic and throw it at the vampire. |
| 101452 Throw the flask of holy water at the vampire. |
| 101453 As the cloves of garlic strike the vampire, it shudders... with laughter. "You would use garlic against me? You've been deceived by an old wives' tale, you fool!" |
| 101454 Cast Magic Missile at the vampire. |
| 101455 Cast Burning Hands at the vampire. |
| 101456 Brandish the symbol of Lathander. |
| 101457 Throw the flask of holy water at the vampire. |
| 101458 The flask shatters on the stone floor of the crypt, dousing the vampire in holy water. Its flesh begins to smoke and char, and it stumbles against the far wall of the crypt, cowering and shaking. |
| 101459 Cast Magic Missile at the vampire. |
| 101460 Cast Burning Hands at the vampire. |
| 101461 Brandish the symbol of Lathander. |
| 101462 Smash your clove of garlic and throw it at the vampire. |
| 101463 The missiles streak toward the weakened vampire and plow through its flesh, leaving an empty husk in their wake. The vampire slumps to the floor and dissolves into a cloud of gaseous mist which flees the room. |
| 101464 The gouts of flame strike the weakened vampire and soon set it ablaze. It shrivels and thrashes, then falls to the floor and slowly dissipates into a cloud of gaseous mist which flees the room. |
| 101465 The garlic strikes the weakened vampireâ€â€but does not affect it. "Fool!" it hisses. "You've been taken in by that old wives' tale?" |
| 101466 Cast Magic Missile at the vampire. |
| 101467 Cast Burning Hands at the vampire. |
| 101468 Brandish the symbol of Lathander. |
| 101469 Throw the flask of holy water at the vampire. |
| 101470 The holy water splashes the weakened vampire, and its flesh curls and chars as blue flames consume it. The vampire collapses on the floor and slowly dissipates into a cloud of gaseous mist which flees the room. |
| 101471 The holy symbol flares with searing light. Beams of energy pierce the weakened vampire, and its flesh curls and chars as blue flames consume it. The vampire collapses on the floor and slowly dissipates into a cloud of gaseous mist which flees the room. |
| 101472 You rush across the crypt to the next door and find your mentor slumped on the floor. Fearing the worst, you check his neck, and he stirs weakly. You realize he is still alive. Beside him is a wooden coffin, and you notice a tendril of gaseous mist escaping into it. |
| 101473 Take your master and flee the crypt. |
| 101474 Cast Burning Hands at the casket. |
| 101475 You hoist your master over your shoulder and begin the arduous trek back to town. You emerge from the crypt and find that night is fast approaching. You walk as quickly as you can, but with your heavy burden, you are unable to reach the safety of town before nightfall. |
| 101476 You become aware of a presence behind you moments before you are struck heavily on your back. You fall to the ground and roll onto your back just as the vampire fastens its fangs to your neck and the world fades to blackness. |
| 101477 The wood of the coffin bursts into flame and a shrieking sound reverberates through the crypt as it disintegrates. The shrieking sound subsides, and the crypt is left quiet and lifeless. You shoulder the burden of your mentor and begin the long journey back to town. |
| 101478 You arrive in town late at night and find all the doors in town barred. You shout and pound on the doors of the temple of Lathander until a small window above is opened. The priest instantly recognizes you and lets you in. |
| 101479 "By the gods! How have you survived out of doors so late? And your friend! He is in need of aid. I shall take him to the infirmary as you tell me your tale." |
| 101480 Over the next few days, your mentor regains his health, and the townspeople no longer see the terror stalking at night. They give you what gifts their modest incomes allow and herald you as a hero. When your mentor recovers, you continue your journey together to Waterdeep to pursue your arcane studies there. |
| 101481 Wow! That was pretty good. You did it. I guess there isn't any challenge that you cannot overcome. That's a fun game. |
| 101482 Ooh, a thief! That's fun. You know, I once stole something. Yep. It's true. There was a pie pan by the bedroom window of a villager back in Nashkel, and it was completely full. I stole it and took a bite. Turns out it was actually a bed pan. Never really had a taste for pie after that. |
| 101483 Yeah, so let me just get my Tome of Adventure and we can begin the game. Okay, here it is. Let's start! |
| 101484 You are a professional thief, and a rather talented one at that. You have spent most of your career performing jobs for various trade guilds, mercenary groups, and the occasional noble here and there. |
| 101485 Your last job went well, but the noble who hired you cheated you on your payment. In an attempt to recoup your losses, you broke into his personal offices, searching for his safe. |
| 101486 Instead, you found a stash of documents which indicated the location of a powerful magical ring owned by a rich merchant in the nearby town of Galenwood. The papers explained that the ring was able to amplify the wearer's natural talents of sneaking and innate dexterity. Apparently, the noble had intentions of stealing the ring for himself. |
| 101487 To your astonishment, the documents also hinted that the ring had the ability to turn its wearer invisible as well. The location of the house, and even the location of the safe room in which the ring is kept, were indicated in the documents. You took them and proceeded to the town of Galenwood immediately. |
| 101488 The road to Galenwood is heavily wooded, with thick underbrush on either side. Thick tree branches extend across the road just above head level and form a canopy which shields the road from direct sunlight. |
| 101489 As you reflect on the beauty of the scene, you hear movement and voices behind you. The voices are distant, but your sharp ears are able to pick up a few words, "...will be rewarded for getting the documents back... thief won't get far..." Looking back, you see nothing and realize you have not been seen yet. You have a few minutes to act. |
| 101490 Stand in the road and await your pursuers. |
| 101491 Set a trap beneath the leaves on the road. |
| 101492 Climb into the branches directly above the road. |
| 101493 In a few minutes, you see two men walk into view. They are clad in chain mail and carry swords and shields. You recognize them as the guards of the noble who cheated you. They stop in surprise at seeing you. Recognition crosses their faces. One shouts, "It's <PRO_HIMHER>!" and they charge at you. |
| 101494 Stand your ground. |
| 101495 Climb into the branches directly above the road. |
| 101496 Set a trap beneath the leaves on the road. |
| 101497 Slip into the underbrush on the side of the road. |
| 101498 The guards reach you in a matter of seconds. You parry the thrust of the first guard with your short sword, but the second guard dazes you with a shield block to the face. You stumble backwards and feel a searing pain in your chest. Then the world around you goes black. |
| 101499 You leap onto the trunk of a nearby tree and almost make it out of reach, but the guards are too swift. One of them fastens an iron grip around your ankle, and you fall heavily to the ground. The last thing you see is a sword descending toward your exposed throat. |
| 101500 Your hands work feverishly but you are still crouched over your trap, setting tools, when the guards reach you. You look up, and the last thing you see is a sword descending toward your exposed neck. |
| 101501 You roll fluidly into the underbrush on the side of the road and creep noiselessly forward with practiced stealth. The guards follow you, hacking away at the plant life with their swords. |
| 101502 You easily double back and creep up from behind, slipping your short sword through a seam in the trailing guard's armor. Before the other can react, you leap forward and cut his throat, letting him fall silently to the ground. You quickly conceal the bodies and return to the path. |
| 101503 You work quickly and methodically, setting up a simple yet effective poison dart trap. You just finish concealing the pressure plate when two men walk into view. They are clad in chain mail and carry swords and shields. |
| 101504 You recognize them as the guards of the noble who cheated you. They stop in surprise at seeing you. Recognition crosses their faces. One shouts, "It's <PRO_HIMHER>!" and they charge at you. |
| 101505 You retreat several steps and watch in satisfaction as the first of the guards runs right into your trap. Poison darts spring from the brush on either side of the road, piercing the first guard multiple times. He gasps and falls quivering to the ground as the poison takes effect. |
| 101506 The second guard is hit once in the flank. He stumbles, and his pace slows, but he continues his attack. Your poison has sapped much of his strength, and you easily parry his attacks and counterattack with successful strikes of your own. |
| 101507 In a matter of minutes, the second guard lies dead at your feet, his life's blood staining the road. You quickly conceal the bodies and all signs of the struggle as best you can. |
| 101508 You easily make your way into the branches and wait silently. In a few minutes, you see two men walk into view. They are clad in chain mail and carry swords and shields. You recognize them as the guards of the noble who cheated you. They are boasting of their recent exploits with a local barmaid and do not notice you. |
| 101509 You wait until they pass, then drop noiselessly behind them, quickly sliding your blade into a weak spot in one of the guard's armor. His lung punctured, he drops noiselessly to the ground. |
| 101510 A second later, the second guard notices that his companion is missing and turns, but he is too slow. You lunge at him and bury your short sword in his exposed neck before he can ready his guard. You quickly conceal the bodies and all signs of the struggle as best you can. |
| 101511 Oh, too bad! Looks like you lost. Well, it was a fun game anyway. Next time, try to be a little more sneaky. |
| 101512 Having dealt with the guards, you continue your journey to Galenwood, treading a little more carefully and keeping an ear to the wind and an eye on your back. After a few uneventful hours of travel, you arrive at the gates of the small town and make your way discreetly to the town square. |
| 101513 You stand in the bustling town square of Galenwood. To the north is a large house which matches the description of the merchant's house in the documents. To the south is a temple of Helm. To the east is a tavern, and beside the tavern is an alley. A man dressed in fine blue clothes can be seen going from the merchant's house to the alley and back, periodically. |
| 101514 Enter the temple of Helm. |
| 101515 Enter the tavern. |
| 101516 Follow the finely dressed man to the alley. |
| 101517 Approach the merchant's house. |
| 101518 The interior of the temple is dappled in subtle shades of blue and amber as the sunlight filters in through the ornate stained glass windows of the temple. To your left, several people are praying fervently. At the altar, an acolyte appears to be tending to temple duties. |
| 101519 Move closer and listen to the prayers. |
| 101520 Approach the acolyte. |
| 101521 Return outside. |
| 101522 You look up and make a show of admiring the intricate carvings on the ceiling as you slowly wander within hearing of the people's prayers. You make out a few words. |
| 101523 "...And I pray that you will forgive him for his sins. He is just a simple guard and very handsome. It isn't any fault of his own that the rich merchant's wife fell in love with him and gave him the locket with their names inscribed upon it..." You make note of the information for future use. |
| 101524 Approach the acolyte. |
| 101525 Return outside. |
| 101526 The young acolyte appears startled as you approach. Your sharp and well-trained eyes see his hands quickly draw back from the temple's offering box. The acolyte follows your gaze, and the expression of horror and surprise on his face tells you he is at your mercy. |
| 101527 He begins to speak as his shock subsides. "I... I know things. I know people. I can tell you anything, just... just don't tell the priest! Oh, don't tell Father McNeil!" |
| 101528 "The manor house... well... it's owned by Phineas Undergood. He's rich. The richest man in a hundred leagues and more. His steward, Alder Lathel, carries the key to his most prized possession. Alder is always dressed in blue and can be found most days running errands to the tavern." |
| 101529 Move closer and listen to the prayers. |
| 101530 Return outside. |
| 101531 Elegant appointments brighten the interior of this tavern. Several attractive young barmaids are busy serving ale and food to patrons in the crowded common room. In one corner, you see a man in chain mail armor emblazoned with a symbol that you noticed on the large house on the north side of the square. |
| 101532 Offer to buy a drink for one of the barmaids. |
| 101533 Buy a drink for the man in chain mail armor. |
| 101534 Return outside. |
| 101535 The young girl smiles an enchantingly pretty smile, then speaks with the most hideous voice you have ever heard in your entire life. "Don't mind if I do, love. Me bum's burnin' from all this standin'. Makes me arse twitch, ya know?" |
| 101536 The girl sits heavily and downs the entire mug in one swallow, then belches loudly. "Aye, that's good ale. Heh, reminds me of that time when summat else bought me an ale. That guard outside the manor house, ya know? He bought me one to keep me quiet." |
| 101537 "Ya see, I was sittin' in the outhouse and heard that good-lookin' guard talkin' to the lady of the manor. Looked out the peephole I did, and saw her give him this locket, had their names engraved on it. When he found out I knew, he bought me drinks to get me fuddled. Didn't work though. Remembered the whole thing." |
| 101538 Buy a drink for the man in chain mail armor. |
| 101539 Return outside. |
| 101540 The man looks up at you angrily until he sees the flagon of ale in your hand. "Aye, now you're speaking my language. Cheers, mate." He takes the ale and starts drinking. Four flagons later, he starts talking. "Gave my whole life to that heartless wretch, working in his house, guarding his possessions." |
| 101541 "Then one day, he up and fires me just to save a few gold coins. I was the one who designed the trap to guard his most prized possession, that damned ring of his. Put it right above the chandelier where nobody'd think to look. Can't believe he fired me." |
| 101542 "Got half a mind to steal the ring myself. Since I know about the trap in the chandelier, I only need to get past the guard at the front door and then get the key to the lock and the ring will be mine." The man sways a second after speaking, then falls snoring to the table, spilling the rest of the ale. |
| 101543 Offer to buy a drink for one of the barmaids. |
| 101544 Return outside. |
| 101545 You wait until the man has his back turned and then slip in the alley behind him. He goes to the back of the tavern and bends over a box, fumbling with the contents. You have a chance to act while his attention is distracted. |
| 101546 Attempt to pick his pockets. |
| 101547 Return to the town square. |
| 101548 Your trained hands quickly locate the key in the man's pocket and remove it undetected. You complete the job almost without breaking stride and return to the town square before you attract any attention. |
| 101549 You easily slip your hands in the distracted man's various pockets, but are unable to notice anything of value before you must move back to the town square to avoid attracting attention. Perhaps if you knew what you were looking for, you could try again later. |
| 101550 You approach the richly decorated house and are promptly halted by a tall and handsome guard at the front door. "Halt. What business do you have with the Undergood Estate?" You realize that if you manage to enter the house, you will not be able to leave and then reenter. You have only one chance once inside. |
| 101551 Claim to be a safe inspector sent for by the master of the house. |
| 101552 Attempt to overpower the guard. |
| 101553 Blackmail the guard with the information about his affair with his master's wife. |
| 101554 Return to the town square. |
| 101555 The guard narrows his eyes for a moment, then enters the house without a word, locking the door behind him. He returns a few moments later with a hard look on his face. "The master's clerk of business knows of no such appointment. Now move along before you find yourself in the stocks." |
| 101556 Attempt to overpower the guard. |
| 101557 Blackmail the guard with the information about his affair with his master's wife. |
| 101558 Return to the town square. |
| 101559 You lunge for the guard's throat, but he is ready. His trained muscles quickly overpower you, and you feel a burning pain at your throat as the guard's dagger is drawn quickly across it. The ground rushes up to meet you as the world goes black. |
| 101560 The large man's rugged face pales, and his eyes grow wide. His right hand instinctively clutches at something just below the collar of his tunic. His eyes darting left and right, he silently moves aside, allowing you to pass. |
| 101561 You find yourself in the grand entrance of the elegant mansion. Referring to your papers, you find the hallway that leads to the mansion's safe room. It is a long corridor with a painting on the left side, a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, a rug on the floor, and a statue on the right side. |
| 101562 Proceed to the door of the safe room. |
| 101563 Check the painting for a trap. |
| 101564 Check the chandelier for a trap. |
| 101565 Check the rug for a trap. |
| 101566 Check the statue for a trap. |
| 101567 You stride boldly toward your goal at the end of the corridor. Halfway there, you hear a barely audible twang and feel a sting at the back of your neck. |
| 101568 You carefully examine the painting, but find no traces of tripwires, pressure plates, or other conventional triggers. As you step back to think about your next move, you hear a barely audible twang and feel a sting at the back of your neck. |
| 101569 Reaching back, you find a dart protruding from you skin and you realize to your horror that you have triggered a trap. Your vision blurs from the poison dart, and soon your knees buckle. You never feel yourself hit the floor. |
| 101570 As you look closely at the chandelier, you see a small network of tiny filaments extending from the ornamental arms of the light fixture to the floor. Where they attach to the chandelier, there are small levers, almost too small to detect. |
| 101571 You carefully examine the rug, but find no traces of tripwires, pressure plates, or other conventional triggers. As you step back to think about your next move, you hear a barely audible twang and feel a sting at the back of your neck. |
| 101572 You carefully examine the statue, but find no traces of tripwires, pressure plates, or other conventional triggers. As you step back to think about your next move, you hear a barely audible twang and feel a sting at the back of your neck. |
| 101573 You carefully avoid the filaments hanging from the chandelier and make your way to the safe room door. It appears to be a normal door with a simple lock below the doorknob. |
| 101574 Try to pick the lock. |
| 101575 Place the stolen key in the lock and turn it. |
| 101576 You produce your lockpicking tools and begin to work on the lock. The tumblers turn easily beneath your expert fingers, and soon the lock clicks. You stand up triumphantly. Then you hear another click, then a twang. Something strikes the back of your neck. |
| 101577 Looking back over your shoulder, you see no one in the corridor. You take a few steps back, then throw your full weight against the door. It gives slightly, then holds solid. Throughout the house, bells sound, and the house fills with the sound of running feet. |
| 101578 The corridor fills with guards carrying crossbows, and seconds later the air is full of humming quarrels. The quarrels find their mark, and you drop to your knees. The world fades to blackness. |
| 101579 The lock opens silently, and as you open the door, you find that it is comprised of two inches of solid iron. The hinges make no sound whatsoever as you close the door behind you. You turn and survey the room. |
| 101580 To your surprise, you see a window overlooking the busy town square. Despite the window, the room seems surprisingly dark, and this strikes you as odd. There is a table with a small stand which holds a simple gold ring. You quickly take the ring and plan your escape. |
| 101581 Attempt to leave through the strangely dark window. |
| 101582 Slip the ring on your finger and exit the way you entered. |
| 101583 You attempt to open the window, but your hands pass through and push against a metallic plate behind it. As bells sound throughout the house, you realize too late that the window was an illusion. |
| 101584 Guards fling the door open and train their crossbows on you. The air hums as their bolts streak toward their target. The quarrels find their mark, and you drop to your knees. The world fades to blackness. |
| 101585 You slip the ring on your finger, and the world around you shimmers briefly as the magic cloaks you in invisibility. You exit through the safe room door, taking care to lock it behind you. You return to the grand entry and patiently wait for the door to the square to open. |
| 101586 After what seems like an eternity, an elegant middle-aged woman passes through the door with a lingering gaze on the tall guard. You take the opportunity to pass unseen into the square and shortly thereafter out of the city. |
| 101587 You travel swiftly for three days until you are certain that you have not been pursued. Only then do you take off the ring and spend the night in a small, nearly deserted tavern. After a surprisingly good dinner, you retire to your room and fall asleep, dreaming of the riches which are sure to be yours. |
| 101588 You did it! Well done. Wasn't sure you would make it there toward the end, but you did! Well, that certainly was fun. |
| 101589 Oh well, you died, but this has been known to happen in this game. Despite this, was it a fun game? |
| 101590 Yes, I enjoyed it very much. |
| 101591 Well, it was a game. |
| 101592 It wasn't very good, no. |
| 101593 So what did you think? Was it a fun game? |
| 101594 Yes, I enjoyed it very much. |
| 101595 Well, it was a game. |
| 101596 It wasn't very good, no. |
| 101597 I'm glad to hear it. Would you, by chance, like to play again or perhaps choose another class? |
| 101598 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101599 No, I would rather quit. |
| 101600 Yes, it is definitely a game. Would you, by chance, like to play again or perhaps choose another class? |
| 101601 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101602 No, I would rather quit. |
| 101603 I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps trying another class would improve your experience. Would you like to try? |
| 101604 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101605 No, I would rather quit. |
| 101606 Quit? I can't believe you'd really choose to quit such a fun game. Are you sure? |
| 101607 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101608 Yes, I am sure. |
| 101609 Excellent! Which class would you like: a fighter, a wizard, or a thief? |
| 101610 I shall take on the role of a fighter. |
| 101611 A wizard sounds like it would be fun. |
| 101612 I've always enjoyed sneaking around. Let me try being a thief. |
| 101613 Eh, I would rather quit after all. |
| 101614 How about now? |
| 101615 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101616 Yes, even now. |
| 101617 What about now? |
| 101618 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101619 Oh, not this again! |
| 101620 How about now? |
| 101621 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101622 This is dumb. |
| 101623 What about now? |
| 101624 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101625 Yes, it is STILL dumb. |
| 101626 How about now? |
| 101627 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101628 Can we please stop this? |
| 101629 I want to kill you so badly. I'm just... it's amazing, really. |
| 101630 What about now? |
| 101631 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101632 Really, just stop. |
| 101633 You have no idea how much I loathe you. |
| 101634 How about now? |
| 101635 Okay, perhaps I will try another class. |
| 101636 You are the most reprehensible creature in the entire world. |

| 101640 Shadow Twin |
| 101641 Shadow Twin This ability creates an almost exact duplicate of the Shadowdancer for 2 turns. The duplicate is created at 60% of the level at which the Shadowdancer is currently on. It has all the abilities that the Shadowdancer would have at that level. It also has 60% of the Hit Points of the Shadowdancer. The duplicate is fully under the control of the Shadowdancer. |
| 101642 Shadow Form |
| 101643 Shadow Form This ability temporarily transposes some of the user's tissue with shadow-material, making the subject partially incorporeal. For the next 5 rounds, all physical attacks directed against the Shadowdancer only deal 50% of their normal damage. During this time, the Shadowdancer is also under the effects of Improved Invisibility and cannot be directly targeted by spells. |
| 101644 Shadow Maze |
| 101645 Shadow Maze This ability opens a temporary gateway to a small pocket within the Plane of Shadow. All enemies within 10 feet of the Shadowdancer must make a Save vs. Spell at a -4 penalty or become trapped inside a shadowy labyrinth as per the Maze spell. |

Wu Jen masters have concealed within this wakizashi great power, unleashed only when the wielder is in the thick of battle.

| 101673 The scimitar, or "shamshir" as it was originally called, has a single-edged blade with a significant curve and is tapered to an elongated, sharp point. It is perhaps slower than other weapons of the same type, though it compensates by the amount of damage it is capable of.

| 101683 Plate mail is a combination of chain armor with metal plates covering the vital areas such as the chest, abdomen and groin. Similar in construction to bronze plate mail, true plate mail comprises chain and leather. In addition, this suit of plate mail is enchanted and gives additional bonuses to the wearer's Armor Class. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 1 (-2 vs. slashing) Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 20 |
| 101684 Splint Mail +2 |
| 101685 Splint mail is a variant of banded mail in which the metal strips are applied vertically to the backing of chain, leather, or cloth rather than horizontally as in banded mail. Since the body does not swivel in mid-torso as much as it flexes back to front, splint mail is more restrictive in battle. This suit of armor is enchanted, granting the wearer an additional bonus of +2 to their Armor Class. STATISTICS: Armor Class: 2 (1 vs. piercing and missile, 0 vs. crushing) Requires: 8 Strength Weight: 10 |
| 101686 Studded Leather Armor +3 |

| 101691 Hide armor is made from the thick hide of a very large animal (an elephant for example) or from many layers of normal leather from common animals, like cows. Hide armor is far too bulky, inflexible and heavy to be used much in advanced human cultures. However, among the barbaric humanoid masses throughout the dark forests and misty jungles of the world, hide armor is common. Even though it does offer more protection than leather armor, one must get by the offensive odor and shoddy appearance in order to wear it effectively. Even though Thieves can wear this armor, it has a negative effect on their abilities. This particular suit is enchanted, granting the wearer an additional bonus to protection.

| 101825 Such destructive potential, wasted. You disappoint me. |
| 101826 You know what? I can live with that. Now go pester someone else about their destructive potential, why don't you? |

| 101829 Don't try me, Red Wizard. I've had more than enough of your kind in my life. |

| 101844 I just realizedâ€â€I never said I was sorry about Khalid. |
| 101845 Thank you, Neera. I appreciate that. |
| 101846 I liked Khalid; he was nice. He made me soup once, when we were in Bridgefort. |
| 101847 Come to think of it, it was REALLY GOOD soup. You wouldn't happen to know the recipe, would you? |
| 101848 Er. Never mind. Not the time. |
| 101849 Neera, my girl, have you ever considered a career in object appropriation? |
| 101850 Uh, no. No. I have not. |
| 101851 A shame. You'd make an excellent accomâ€â€assistant. |
| 101852 Accom-assistant? |
| 101853 Indeed! With your feminine wiles and terrifying hair, you could get into almost any location! |
| 101854 What do you mean, terrifying hair? |
| 101855 Just imagine the bountiful riches, the teeth-rattling THUMP of the turnip-launcher as we make our getaway, the outraged screams... |
| 101856 Turnip-launcher...? Wait, no. I'm good, Jan. Thanks, but I'm just not the thieving type. |
| 101857 Not thieveryâ€â€appropriation. The art is an age-old tradition, worthy of honor and respect! |
| 101858 I think I'll still have to pass. |
| 101859 Bugger. |
| 101860 What're ye mooning about, mage? |
| 101861 Mooning? Who said I was mooning? |
| 101862 A dwarf knows moonin' when he sees it, and that, my girl, is some world-class mooning ye're doin'. |
| 101863 I thought the only things you cared about were food and blood. |
| 101864 Ye wound me! There be plenty else I care about! |
| 101865 Whoring and beer? |
| 101866 By the gods, lass, d'ye think I dinnae have a heart? |
| 101867 If you tore it still beating from the chest of an enemy, maybe. |
| 101868 Har har! An' don't ye forget it! |
| 101869 Whatever ye're worryin' about, rip its heart out and drown it in booze. Works fer me. |
| 101870 That might actually be a not terrible idea. Thanks, Korgan. |
| 101871 Anytime, lass. |
| 101872 Gah! Damn it! |
| 101873 Have I offended you, Neera? |
| 101874 No! Your stupid god has! |
| 101875 Watch your tone, girl. Arvoreen does not take insults lightly. I will not hear his name slandered! |
| 101876 I'm sorry, it's justâ€â€ugh! How can you NOT be angry at him? |
| 101877 Why would I? He affords me all I need and more. He would have my love and devotion even were that not true. |
| 101878 I don't get it. You want to be a paladin, HIS paladin. You're qualified, and you've done so much good in his name. Why would he not make you a paladin? |
| 101879 Devotion is its own reward, Neera. Yes, I aspire to be a paladin, but if it is not to be, it is not to be. There is no point in getting angry about it. |
| 101880 It just doesn't seem fair. |
| 101881 Life is not fair, Neera. It is just life. |
| 101882 ...and so I asked, "Why don't you just turn it yellow?" And she laughed at me. LAUGHED. Can you imagine that? |
| 101883 Rasaad? Are you alright? |
| 101884 I seem to have developed something of a headache. |
| 101885 Oh no! I hate headaches. I remember this one time |
| 101886 Neera, has anyone taught you the virtues of silent contemplation? |
| 101887 What on Toril would anyone want to contemplate silently? |
| 101888 The vastness of the cosmos? The dappled play of light and dark at dusk? What joy to be had and given in reining in our more talkative impulses? |
| 101889 Ah. Sorry. Sometimes I just get excited, you know, and |
| 101890 Oh yes. I know. |
| 101891 Hey, Valygar! How do you keep your braids so neat? |
| 101892 Practice. |
| 101893 Any tips? |
| 101894 No. |
| 101895 Right. Well. |
| 101896 Good chat! Let's do it again sometime. |
| 101897 Or, you know. Not. |
| 101898 The weather is turning. |
| 101899 It is a little chilly. |
| 101900 If we didn't have bad weather, we'd never appreciate it when it was good. You taught me that. |
| 101901 I did? |
| 101902 Without the dark, how does one recognize the light? |
| 101903 May I impart a word of advice, my friend? |
| 101904 Of course, Anomen. |
| 101905 When my sister was murdered, all I thought of was revenge. It burned through my mind as I fought, as I walked, as I slept. I was consumed with its fire. |
| 101906 I have been where you are. And I can tell you this: Revenge is not the answer you seek. Revenge will not bring your brother back. |
| 101907 I will stand by your side come Hells or high water. But I would not watch a friend risk his life needlessly. |
| 101908 I appreciate your support. But I will not, cannot rest until Alorgoth is dead. |
| 101909 Your brother would not want you to risk your life. |
| 101910 My brother is dead. The least I can do is avenge him. |
| 101911 I admire your devotion, Cernd. |
| 101912 My devotion? |
| 101913 To nature. Has your faith in the Mother ever been tested? |
| 101914 Winds may sway the trunk, but this oak's roots are buried deep. |
| 101915 What happens when the storm tears the tree from its holdings? What then? |
| 101916 When it happensâ€â€if it happensâ€â€another tree will take its place. Life goes on, Rasaad. Forever and always. |
| 101917 Monk! Your tattoos. Are enchantments inked into their design? |
| 101918 They hold great meaning to me, but no magic. |
| 101919 I have been working on a theory, a method of inscribing magic into one's skin. A permanent enhancement. I require a test subject. It will not hurt. (Much, anyway.) |
| 101920 Have you tested this on anybody before? |
| 101921 If I had, I wouldn't need a test subject, would I? Hold still... |
| 101922 Forgive me, Edwin, but I believe I'll pass. Best of luck with your theory, though. It sounds very interesting. |
| 101923 Blast! |
| 101924 (Well, perhaps it's for the best. He might not have like the quickened aging. Or the variegated skin color...) |
| 101925 Yours is a story as old as time, but still as enthralling as the first time it was told. |
| 101926 I am fairly sure my story is mine and mine alone. How could you have heard of it before? |
| 101927 The narrative shares many similarities with great plays and poems from times past. A stalwart soldier of light, his beliefs thrown into question by forces beyond his control, seeking revenge against those forces in an attempt to right that which was wronged. Classic. |
| 101928 I see. And how do these other stories end? |
| 101929 The endings are many and varied, Rasaad, but all share one element. |
| 101930 Which is? |
| 101931 Tragedy. |
| 101932 Still suspicious, Rasaad? Don't you think if I wanted your blood, I'd have taken it by now? |
| 101933 Perhaps you are just biding your time, waiting for the right moment to strike. |
| 101934 Rest easy. I would never partake of a friend of <CHARNAME>â€â€at least, not uninvited. It would be... discourteous. |
| 101935 Courtesy is not something I'd expect from a vampire. |
| 101936 It is, however, something I'd expect from a Selûnite monk. Expectations are such slippery things, aren't they? |
| 101937 What do you think? |
| 101938 About what, Imoen? |
| 101939 My hair, dummy. What do you think? |
| 101940 Has it changed? |
| 101941 YES! Look at it. Does it LOOK the same? |
| 101942 I... yes? |
| 101943 You could at least TRY lying convincingly. |
| 101944 You would have me lie to you? |
| 101945 Forget it. Don't worry about it. |
| 101946 Have I done something wrong? |
| 101947 If you have to ask, then yeah, you probably have. |
| 101948 You have crow's feet, Rasaad. |
| 101949 Crow's feet? |
| 101950 Wrinkles at the edge of your eyes. Usually caused by frowning. |
| 101951 Ah. Well, I have much to frown about. |
| 101952 You have, it is true. You've grown much over the last year. |
| 101953 We all have. |
| 101954 None more so than you, I suspect. |
| 101955 You are an intelligent man, Korgan. Why let your baser instincts rule? Is it not more sensible to rely on intellect rather than brawn? |
| 101956 Seems t' me ye rely as much on yer fists as yer "intellect." |
| 101957 Perhaps, but each blow is calculated, considered. Minimum exertion for maximum effect. |
| 101958 Are ye suggestin' me axe is ineffective? |
| 101959 It is a brutal weapon, I'll admit. But it could also be a useful tool, if you choose to make it so. |
| 101960 Brutal's all I need it t' be. I says if it ain't broke, donnae be fixin' it. |
| 101961 As you wish. |
| 101962 Take heart, Rasaad! The day is fine and our victories plentiful. Melancholy ill suits you. |
| 101963 You mistake contemplation for melancholy. Do not be deceived. I am glad of our success. |
| 101964 Your eyes tell a different story. Whatever demons you wrestle with, my friend, know that we stand steadfast behind you. |
| 101965 I appreciate that, Mazzy, truly. But there is nothing to worry about. |
| 101966 Friend Rasaad, I have a question, and Boo is being most uncooperative. What is a honeymoon? |
| 101967 After two people are joined in marriage, they are provided with mead for a month in order to... ah... grow comfortable with one another. |
| 101968 So there are no bees? |
| 101969 I have never been married, so I would not know. |
| 101970 I can assure you, children, there are no bees on a honeymoon. |
| 101971 I shall take your word for it. Boo's answer involved both bees and birds. It was... confusing. |
| 101972 You are always impeccably dressed, Nalia, yet I rarely see you shop for clothes. |
| 101973 I've always been good with a needleâ€â€one of the few skills Aunt Delcia managed to successfully impart, much to her chagrin. |
| 101974 You sew your own garments? |
| 101975 Do not sound so surprised. Sewing relaxes me. It keeps the hands busy while letting the mind work. It's really not all that hard, once you get the basics down. The rest is just practice. |
| 101976 And a little magic, I presume? |
| 101977 Here and there, Rasaad. Here and there. |
| 101978 You are a long way from home, thief. |
| 101979 It is for the best, I assure you. An... incident with a wealthy noblewoman and her husband hastened my departure. |
| 101980 I see. And the nature of the incident...? |
| 101981 A gentleman never tells, friend Rasaad. |
| 101982 You are no friend of mine, Yoshimo. I do not approve of what you do or the way in which you do it. I am watching you closely. |
| 101983 Well then, I shall endeavor to be sufficiently entertaining! |
| 101984 You have become a powerful witch, Aerie. You are a child no more, yet you cling to your ideals like a babe to her mother's teat. |
| 101985 Why not take your first steps as a woman and throw aside these ridiculous standards? Embrace power, as you were meant to! |
| 101986 Power and goodness are not mutually exclusive. You yourself just said I was powerful; do you really think my goodness lessens my strength? |
| 101987 I know it. Mercy is weakness. Hesitation is death. Your flawed morals blind you to the truth. |
| 101988 You're the one who is blind, Dorn. I embraced power. MY power. I do not leech it from some vile demon. |
| 101989 Careful, girl. Or you may feel the power of that vile demon firsthand. |
| 101990 If so, it is willful blindness. Your truth is not something I care to see. |
| 101991 I see potential in you, Anomen. |
| 101992 You are bitter, righteously angry at the insults and injuries you have endured. Now you see the world as it truly is. |
| 101993 And if I have, what of it? |
| 101994 I offer an alliance. |
| 101995 I have not sunk so low as to ally myself with you, Il-Khan. |
| 101996 We could do great things together, you and I. |
| 101997 The gulf between our definitions of "great" spans continents. Leave me be. |
| 101998 You are a vile, heathen beast, half-orc, with fewer scruples than a Waukeenar shopkeep. Under any other circumstances, your blood would be pooling on the ground between us. |
| 101999 Someone's blood would be. |
| 102000 That said, you are, for once in your cursed life, acting for the good of all. |
| 102001 I act for my own good, no other's. |
| 102002 Your reasons may be selfish, but what we do here will save countless lives. Stopping this crusade of blood may be the best thing you ever do. |
| 102003 When it is done, I may begin my own crusade of blood. Perhaps you will be the first to fall. |
| 102004 First things first, Il-Khan. First things first. |
| 102005 I do not understand you, druid. You profess a desire to protect nature, but neglect to harness her destructive strength. Why? |
| 102006 I do what is necessary. |
| 102007 Necessary? Forests fall to woodsmen's axes, animals are hunted to rarity, and rivers are poisoned by the sewage of cities! |
| 102008 The Mother loves all her children, Dorn. Not just those who live in dappled glen and field. |
| 102009 Even so. I have seen storms the likes of which can devastate large towns. Wildfires that burned through entire forests. Why do you hold back? |
| 102010 When the Mother is angry, her fury roars through the land, without direction, terrifying and dangerous. |
| 102011 I would not end innocent lives, even if it meant the death of our enemies. It is not the way. |
| 102012 You are weak. |
| 102013 Perhaps. But I am no murderer. |
| 102014 What? What do you want, blackguard?! Must every accursed monkey here offer their opinion?! |
| 102015 Your new form is not without advantages, mage. You should make use of them. |
| 102016 Women are weak creatures, guided by emotions and lessened by their monthly bleed! There is nothing advantageous in this preposterous form! |
| 102017 I heard that, Edwin. |
| 102018 And yet, wizard, the sounds coming from your bedroll indicate you do not find fault with *all* that is a woman's privilege. |
| 102019 Bah! As soon as I am able, I will strip myself of this gods-forsaken body and returning to my normal self! And I will tolerate no further jokes at my expense! |
| 102020 That's too bad. I've got a really good one. |
| 102021 You there! Blackguard. I have a word of advice. |
| 102022 Why would I listen to the word of a disgraced Red Wizard? |
| 102023 Disgraced? You ungrateful imbecile, I am trying to provide you with valuable aid! |
| 102024 Provide it quickly, then. |
| 102025 We Red Wizards have more experience with the denizens of the Hells than most. You have seen what can happen when a demon gets bored. Consider carefully to what you pledge allegianceâ€â€and what you surrender in exchange. |
| 102026 My patron affords me more power than you will ever wield, mage. It is well worth the cost. |
| 102027 I hope when Ur-Gothoz finally wearies of your antics I am around to watch you burn. |
| 102028 I hope when your antics finally start to bore Azothet I am around to watch you burn. |
| 102029 If you are, I'll not burn alone. |
| 102030 You made the correct decision ridding yourself of Ur-Gothoz's influence, Il-Khan. You do not want to be the object of a demonâ€â€or devil'sâ€â€ire. |
| 102031 Did I ask your opinion, mage? |
| 102032 My opinion is worth more than all of these miscreants put together. None of them have labored in the chains of true slavery. Freedom is paramount. |
| 102033 But is it worth the cost? |
| 102034 For Edwin Odesseiron, freedom is worth ANY cost. |
| 102035 You are a delight to behold, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 102036 Yes. |
| 102037 No witty repartee? I had hoped to find a mind behind the monster. |
| 102038 It is there, planewalker, but you want no part of it. |
| 102039 Hah! I am not sure about that, my friend. |
| 102040 I am not your friend. |
| 102041 Then what are you? |
| 102042 An ally. For now. |
| 102043 Have you ever thought about becoming a pirate, Dorn? |
| 102044 A pirate? |
| 102045 I can just see it now... "Arr, me crewmen, burninate all the towns, in the name of me patron!" |
| 102046 Scouring coasts, burning, destroying, and pillaging all I come across? |
| 102047 Yeah! |
| 102048 No. Do not speak to me again. |
| 102049 Where is your bloodlust, girl? Your insatiable urge to kill? A child of Bhaal should be of more use than this. |
| 102050 Oh, really? |
| 102051 You battle your birthright more than your enemies. You are weak. |
| 102052 Fighting the evil within me takes more strength than you will ever know, Dorn Il-Khan. |
| 102053 There are other uses for that strength. Better ones. |
| 102054 I'm not like you. I don't want to be like you. I've seen what happens when a person gives inâ€â€it won't happen to me. |
| 102055 You are the child of a god. |
| 102056 I'm me. Imoen. And I'd like to stay that way. |
| 102057 You have fire. I respect that. But I warn you, druid: Attempt to poison me again and you will not see the next sunrise. |
| 102058 What nonsense are you babbling? |
| 102059 This concoction. You neglected to account for my orc blood. Next time, try something more potent. |
| 102060 Do not be ridiculous. I am a druid, not an assassin. |
| 102061 Then how do you explain this vile brew? |
| 102062 It is a mixture of myrtle and willow |
| 102063 IT IS POISON. |
| 102064 Drink it, Il-Khan. Or next time I will leave your wounds untended. |
| 102065 But how can ye? With a woman, I can understand, butâ€â€it doesnae work! |
| 102066 Then you have a limited imagination, dwarf. |
| 102067 But what do ye do with all the *hair*? |
| 102068 I have seen your women, dwarf. That you were born at all tells me it is not a matter of great concern for your kind. |
| 102069 'Tis true, a fine dwarven woman comes with a fine dwarven beard, but |
| 102070 It is all a matter of power and pleasure. I will take those things with whomever I can. |
| 102071 Give me a buxom lass any day. I'll leave the men for ye. |
| 102072 That one of your limited stature should be so irritating... it is truly impressive. |
| 102073 I'm amazed you can walk three steps without tripping over your own ego. |
| 102074 Hrm. You are a vile pest, halfling, but you are not without wit. |
| 102075 And you are an overgrown half-orc brute without a shred of moral fibre or decency... |
| 102076 But? |
| 102077 There is no but. That's all. |
| 102078 Cease your whistling, Rashemi, before I end your halfwit existence once and for all. |
| 102079 Ahh, Dorn. Even you must sense the cheer in the air! |
| 102080 Your blood will join it if you don't cease that infernal noise! |
| 102081 Minsc and Boo would like to see you try! We would whistle all the while as we stamped your bones to dust! |
| 102082 You are nothing more than a child. I've better things to do with my time than argue with you. |
| 102083 It takes a certain type of man to kill his parents, Valygar. There is much my patron could offer you. |
| 102084 Save it for someone else, half-orc. I've no interest in a life of bondage. |
| 102085 A small price to pay for power. |
| 102086 Your chains say otherwise. |
| 102087 So here we are again, in the eye of the storm. |
| 102088 I rather think we ARE the storm. |
| 102089 Aye. A whirlwind of chaos and death, striking out across Tethyr... My kind of fight. |
| 102090 I'm glad you are at least having fun, jaluk. |
| 102091 You are not? |
| 102092 I prefer the shadows, Dorn. |
| 102093 You worry we're too exposed? |
| 102094 I always feel exposed up here. There is a difference between that and announcing our presence with a rain of fire. |
| 102095 The terror in our enemies' eyes as their bodies burn is a reward worth the risk. |
| 102096 You look troubled, monk. |
| 102097 Is your path less sure than it was? Your precious light staining your soul with shadows? |
| 102098 Enough. |
| 102099 When the moon disappears, Rasaad, all we are left with is truth. No more, no less. |
| 102100 You know I am right. Every waking moment, every sleeping hour, constant and unceasing, the truth gnaws at the edges of your soul |
| 102101 I said enough! |
| 102102 Tell me, monk: Do you feel better now, having faced Alorgoth? |
| 102103 What do you care? |
| 102104 I don't care. I am just... curious. |
| 102105 Let someone else satisfy your curiosity. |
| 102106 Have I hit a nerve, Selûnite? Has your encounter left you drained? Unsure? |
| 102107 I've no interest in discussing this further. |
| 102108 Your rage is a source of strength, Rasaad. Harness that anger and it will become a weapon. |
| 102109 I do not take advice from murderers. |
| 102110 It's never too late to start. |
| 102111 You are making a mistake. |
| 102112 Oh? |
| 102113 Don't play the fool with me, vampire. |
| 102114 It is not your place to judge my decisions, blackguard. |
| 102115 I am a blackguard no longer. I saw the folly of my ways and corrected them. You would do well to follow my example. |
| 102116 I say it is. You are making a mistake, one you will regret 'til the end of your all-too-mortal |
| 102117 Enough! My decision is made. Neither you nor any other will sway me from my path. |
| 102118 I respected you once. |
| 102119 That is a mistake I never made with you. |
| 102120 Where were you trained, half-orc? |
| 102121 Trained? |
| 102122 You had no formal education? No mentors? |
| 102123 My skills are borne of battle and blood, not leeched from some aging fool. |
| 102124 Speak ill of Winski Perorate again and you will regret it. |
| 102125 Regrets? I've had a few. I doubt casting aspersions upon your precious mentor will ever be counted among them. |
| 102126 Do that again, girl, and I will cut your tongue from your wretched mouth! You will never cast again! |
| 102127 Wh-what? |
| 102128 I require no assistance in battle. |
| 102129 Fine then! Next time I'll just let you get hurt! |
| 102130 Just watch your own back rather than mine. We'll both be happier that way. |
| 102131 Do you think w-we don't know what you do at night, when we're sleeping? |
| 102132 Should I care? |
| 102133 I've seen you. I've seen the stains. You... you kill people. Innocent people. |
| 102134 Occasionally. If I have to. |
| 102135 You don't deserve to travel with us. You... you don't deserve anything at all. |
| 102136 I'm sorry you feel that way. |
| 102137 Iâ€â€what? |
| 102138 I would like to be your friend, Aerie. But I am what I am. When you are ready to accept that, please, come speak to me again. For now, I bid you good <DAYNIGHTALL>. |
| 102139 There are few things we agree on, you and I. |
| 102140 Very few. |
| 102141 The Bhaalspawn threat must be eradicated, though. We are of one mind on that? |
| 102142 Yes. |
| 102143 Then focus on killing the enemy, Anomen. Not on those who stand by your side. |
| 102144 I'd rather you not stand by my side. |
| 102145 Yet here I am. |
| 102146 Here we are. |
| 102147 Well? |
| 102148 Fine. But only until this is sorted. Then... we will see. |
| 102149 Tell me, Hexxat. Is it true what I have heard about vampires and stamina? |
| 102150 It is. |
| 102151 And appetite? |
| 102152 Get to the point, Dorn. |
| 102153 Perhaps you and I could come to an... arrangement. |
| 102154 No. |
| 102155 You would deny me? |
| 102156 I think I just did. |
| 102157 You don't know what you're missing. |
| 102158 Somehow, I shall find the strength to carry on. |
| 102159 No. |
| 102160 But |
| 102161 Hands off. |
| 102162 By the gods, vampire, you |
| 102163 I said no! |
| 102164 Five minutes! That is all I ask! Five minutes! |
| 102165 Not five minutes, not one minute, not one godsdamned second. The answer is no. |
| 102166 (Cursed undead banshee, can she not see what advancements I could make with that cloak?! Bah!) |
| 102167 (Maybe I could just take a sample... a corner, perhaps? Hmmm...) |
| 102168 Why is it you still travel with <CHARNAME>, my ebon dove? |
| 102169 <CHARNAME> is helping me complete a task. You know this. |
| 102170 A task you could complete on your own, I would imagine. |
| 102171 Perhaps, perhaps not. In my experience, one can never have too many friends. |
| 102172 Why are you here, truly, Hexxat? What part of the story have you left untold? |
| 102173 I am an open book, Haer'Dalis, to anyone with the eyes to see. |
| 102174 Would you like a donut, Hexxat? |
| 102175 Thank you, but no. |
| 102176 You don't like donuts? |
| 102177 OH. Right. Vampire. Can't eat normal-people food. |
| 102178 It's just so easy to forget sometimes. You seem so... normal. |
| 102179 I'm glad someone can forget, if only momentarily. It's a luxury I am, regrettably, not afforded. |
| 102180 Can I ask you something, Hexxat? |
| 102181 Of course. |
| 102182 Do you hate yourself? |
| 102183 Er. That came out wrong. What I meant to say was |
| 102184 I know what you meant. |
| 102185 Well...? |
| 102186 Would you enjoy it? Never dying, never enjoying food, never feeling the sun on your face? Never feeling warmth. |
| 102187 No. I don't think I would. But there's more to it than that, isn't there? |
| 102188 Oh yes. Much more. |
| 102189 I must admit you have surprised me, vampire. |
| 102190 Oh? |
| 102191 I expected you to betray us at the earliest opportunity. Yet you still remain by <CHARNAME>'s side. |
| 102192 I would feel the same in your position. |
| 102193 I would still slay you, given the opportunity. |
| 102194 I'll be sure to bear that in mind. |
| 102195 But for now... I am willing to accept your place in the party. |
| 102196 That means a lot to me, Jaheira. Sincerely. Thank you. |
| 102197 Your arm is covered in blisters, vampire. A little slow on the uptake yesterday morning? |
| 102198 It's nothing. |
| 102199 It hardly looks like nothing. I'm just sorry you weren't a little slower, to save me the trouble of dealing with you when this is done. |
| 102200 Your concern is touching, paladin. |
| 102201 My concern is for my friends and my god. You are an affront to everything I hold dear. |
| 102202 If there were anything I could do to change that, I would. I'm afraid it's out of my hands. |
| 102203 Your hands, perhaps. But not mine. Make peace with your fate, dead woman. |
| 102204 I'll go do that... over there, if it's all the same to you. |
| 102205 I don't like ye, vampire. |
| 102206 Many don't. |
| 102207 However chummy ye be gettin' with th' others, there'll always be one here watchin' ye. |
| 102208 More than one, I think. |
| 102209 Ye fain even look at me funny an' I'll take t' sleepin' with a stake under me bedroll. |
| 102210 Sleep with it atop your bedroll, dwarf. Keep it beneath and you'll never reach it in time. |
| 102211 Not that you'll ever need it. But if you did... Yes, best to keep it on top. |
| 102212 Thank you, Mazzy. |
| 102213 You have nothing to thank me for. |
| 102214 I saw what you did in that last fight. You put yourself in harm's way to protect me. |
| 102215 That was for <CHARNAME>, not you. As long as <PRO_HESHE> needs you, I will treat you like any other member of our party. |
| 102216 I appreciate it. |
| 102217 I am not required to be anything beyond cordial, however. I've no desire to speak with you unless it concerns the welfare of our group. |
| 102218 I'm sorry to hear that. |
| 102219 I am sorry to say it. But it's the truth nevertheless. |
| 102220 You remind me of an old friend. She was much like you... naive, optimistic. Altruistic. |
| 102221 It did her no good in the end. |
| 102222 You're an evil woman. |
| 102223 Not evil, Nalia. Just realistic. |
| 102224 You know, you talk as though the world has done you some great wrong, and the women you killed somehow deserved what you did to them. Do you know what I think? |
| 102225 I think you're lying to yourself. Because it's easier than facing the truth of your own existence. I think you're pathetic. And this conversation is over. |
| 102226 You've become quite the archmage, Nalia. |
| 102227 What do you want? |
| 102228 To offer some advice. You are powerful, but do not |
| 102229 I can do without your advice, thank you. |
| 102230 Nothing good comes of hubris, mage. Remember that. |
| 102231 You know, Hexxat, you've never told us how old you actually are. |
| 102232 You are very observant. |
| 102233 Oh. |
| 102234 All right then. |
| 102235 But if you don't mind my asking |
| 102236 Have I mentioned how observant you are recently, Neera? |
| 102237 Yeah, all right. I get it. |
| 102238 I guess I'll talk to you later, then. |
| 102239 So it was you who caused <CHARNAME> so much trouble on the Sword Coast. |
| 102240 Bringing order to the Sword Coast is considered "trouble" now, is it? |
| 102241 History is written by the victors. |
| 102242 And how will your history be written, vampire? |
| 102243 None have written of me yet; I doubt any will start now. In death I shall be no different than I was in life: in the shadows, forgotten, naught but whispers and secrets. |
| 102244 How terribly, terribly boring. |
| 102245 You intrigue me, drow. |
| 102246 My kind are usually reviled, killed on sight, hated. Intrigue is not a typical reaction. |
| 102247 Few things about me could be called typical. |
| 102248 That much is abundantly obvious. |
| 102249 I seem to have captured your attention, Hexxat. Is my neck particularly appetizing this <DAYNIGHTALL>? |
| 102250 Not just your neck. |
| 102251 Tell me more. |
| 102252 We must talk, Hexxat. |
| 102253 If you wish. But I can think of other, more stimulating ways to occupy our time. |
| 102254 This has beenâ€â€amusing, vampire. But if you think it is more than that, you are mistaken. |
| 102255 Ah. That is regrettable, but not wholly unexpected. |
| 102256 Will you be all right? |
| 102257 You flatter yourself, drow. I've endured worse hurts than this in my time. |
| 102258 It seems we are spending more and more time away from cities, Hexxat. Don't you get hungry? |
| 102259 It can be difficult. |
| 102260 I would imagine. With all these lovely throats on display. You must be starving. |
| 102261 It's nothing I can't handle. Unless you're offering...? |
| 102262 Another time, perhaps. I rather enjoy the attention. |
| 102263 Watch yourself, drow. A vampire's attention can be a dangerous thing. |
| 102264 Ah, my dark-skinned beauty, you must surely have a tale of ancient Mezro to while away the walking hours? |
| 102265 None that I would care to tell. |
| 102266 Dark secrets, best forgotten? |
| 102267 Times and people long since dead. |
| 102268 But surely there is something we could learn from those long goneâ€â€lessons to remember them by? |
| 102269 Who says I wish to remember them? |
| 102270 Describe it to me. |
| 102271 She gathers her skirts around her, red and orange and gold, as she glides proudly over the horizon. Clouds scud past, bowing in respect, reflecting her glory back to the world. She is beautiful today |
| 102272 Stop. I've changed my mind. |
| 102273 Very well. |
| 102274 Tell me about Wilson. |
| 102275 I hope you are joking. |
| 102276 Snort snrff roar! |
| 102277 Very well! There's no need for claws. |
| 102278 And who more worthy of being written about than <CHARNAME>'s favorite companion, Wilson the bear? From humble beginnings, Wilson has become a force for good across the land, inspiring and uplifting the hearts of all who behold his matted glory. If any from <CHARNAME>'s troupe are destined for fame and success, it is Wilson. |
| 102279 Happy? |
| 102280 Snuffle snuffle growl. |
| 102281 I am delighted to hear it. |
| 102282 This is my fight, Wilson. Not yours. |
| 102283 Are you absolutely certain about this, my beary good friend? |
| 102284 It's likely we won't survive this. Are you with me, still? |
| 102285 Since you saved him from a life of captivity, the bear Wilson has ambled by your side. Will you now ask him to sacrifice his freedom? |
| 102286 GROWL. |
| 102287 Roar! |
| 102288 I sense fame in your future, furry one. Great fame indeed, on the distant shores... amongst webs? Yes... yes, it is becoming clear. On the webs, you will find great fame and fortune. |
| 102289 What are you trying to accomplish? I can indeed have people committed to Spellhold, but why would you request it? |
| 102290 Snort. |
| 102291 I had wondered what the bear was for. |
| 102292 Snuffle snuffle growl. |
| 102293 Fine! Fine, yes! |
| 102294 Look at me! I travel withâ€â€and spend long periods talking toâ€â€a bear! |
| 102295 Yes, I agree completely. And the shirt? Far too much. |
| 102296 What is this place you have brought us to, <CHARNAME>? |
| 102297 I know not where we are, <CHARNAME>, but I will tell you this: Selûne's light shines weakly here, if at all. |
| 102298 Something tells me we're not in Brynnlaw anymore. |
| 102299 The Underdark. This is... promising... |
| 102300 Ooh, you won't have to wear your cloak! No daytime! |
| 102301 My thoughts exactly. |
| 102302 Do not be fooled, <CHARNAME>. Deal with this creature and you forfeit your soul. |
| 102303 Some things are worth the risk, moonmaiden. |
| 102304 Take the offer, <CHARNAME>. I like this woman's style. |
| 102305 I believe Bodhi bargains in good faith. For the moment, at least. |
| 102306 I cannot be party to such an arrangement. Safe travels, <CHARNAME>. I will not be joining you. |
| 102307 Let us hope so. |
| 102308 I think you will find your accommodations perfectly suitable, Hexxat. Spacious, a variety of snacks available... What more could one want? |
| 102309 I've endured worse, to be sure. |
| 102310 Forgive me, <CHARNAME>, but this man's sincerity is less than convincing. We had best watch our step. |
| 102311 That was easy. Perhaps too easy. |
| 102312 That's a relief! Or... wait... |
| 102313 'Ware, <CHARNAME>! Something is amiss here. |
| 102314 Selûne's light, what is that *stench*? |
| 102315 Ugh, the last time I smelled something that bad, I started telling a story I just realized is way more disgusting a story than I really want to tell. I hope it's just some dead bodies this time. |
| 102316 *sniff* Whoever lives here is dangerous. Be on your guard. |
| 102317 We will kill him, woman, but fret notâ€â€you'll not live to see it! |
| 102318 It seems love wins out after all. |
| 102319 Do we HAVE to kill her? I'm sorry, lady! |
| 102320 A restored heart and all is mended. What I would do... |
| 102321 A worthy ally, if not a particularly trustworthy one. |
| 102322 Seriously? SERIOUSLY? |
| 102323 What next? Shall I invite Alorgoth to join me on my quest? |
| 102324 One of the greatest elven cities of the age, and it disappeared right in front of your eyes. Hah! |
| 102325 Suldanessellar is... gone? Just GONE?! How do you lose a city?! |
| 102326 We must do all we can to recover it. |
| 102327 I find that difficult to believe. |
| 102328 The only thing that ends here is your evil, vampire! |
| 102329 Even if you had, Bodhi, we'd have found you. |
| 102330 Hah! Prepare for the slaughter, Bodhi! |
| 102331 Only one of us will leave this place, Bodhi. Enjoy your last moments while you can. |
| 102332 <CHARNAME>! |
| 102333 <CHARNAME>, no! You cannot! Adalon, I come to your aid! |
| 102334 You would battle a silver dragon? Are you mad? |
| 102335 Haha! Now this is a battle I can get behind! |
| 102336 Ugh, I suppose we can't really let her smolder, right? Right? |
| 102337 'Twould amuse me to hear her screams, but she might have more than entertainment value. I leave the decision to you. |
| 102338 Shar worshipper or no, <CHARNAME>, we cannot leave her like this. |
| 102339 And is it, Shadow Thief? |
| 102340 Ah, yes. Unfortunately, we've a little hitch. I don't deal with vampires. |
| 102341 I have paid you your gold. What more could you want? |
| 102342 Then you'll just have to make an exception. Hexxat stays. |
| 102343 Ah. Well, Hexxat, it's been fun. |
| 102344 As you may know, one of ourâ€â€shall we sayâ€â€challenges, is a vampire coven here in Athkatla. I'm sure you've seen them. |
| 102345 That could be problematic. |
| 102346 I am ill-inclined to trust anybody with a vampire in their midst. At least, not without the right incentive. |
| 102347 Are you sure we can't work this out? Have a little faith. |
| 102348 You want *more* money? |
| 102349 If Hexxat wanted you dead, you'd be dead already. |
| 102350 Trust does not come cheap. 2,500 gold. |
| 102351 Very well. Here is your money. |
| 102352 Is there some sort ofâ€â€not trust, but not complete lack of faith available? Like, mild distrust, say? I don't have that much gold at the moment. |
| 102353 I don't think so. |
| 102354 <CHARNAME> speaks truly. I have no affiliations with those you speak of. My interests are my own. I am no threat to you. |
| 102355 Hmm... very well. To business, then. |
| 102356 Excellent. To business, then. |
| 102357 I will wait until you do. Do not make me wait too long. |
| 102358 Part ways with the vampire or the coin. The choice is yours. When you're ready to deal, I'll be waiting. |
| 102359 That's it, then? I had expected something more somehow. Very well. If you need my services, <CHARNAME>, you can find me at the Coronet. Perhaps I'll even deign to help you. |
| 102361 You still travel with the vampire, I see. Have you the assurance I requested? |
| 102362 Here's your "assurance," Linvail. |
| 102363 Not yet. |
| 102364 You made the right decision, <CHARNAME>. Vampires are not to be trusted. To business, then. |
| 102365 If only it were so simple for everyone. |
| 102366 This man's mind is not his own. He is being controlled. |
| 102367 I suppose you'd know, miss mind controlling vampire. |
| 102368 Yes. I would. Your point? |
| 102369 My point is... uh. It's obvious, really. Isn't it? |
| 102370 To you, perhaps, but I would hear you say it. |
| 102371 Why are This isn't about me. What're we gonna do about mind-controlled guy here? |
| 102372 <CHARNAME>! She is not what she seems. Show us your true form, woman. |
| 102373 I know your pain. Believe me. |
| 102374 Unfortunately, I must bring up a final point of contention. I refer of course to the drow and the vampire. They cannot accompany you. |
| 102375 Unfortunately, I must bring up a final point of contention. I said I would return to the vampire. I will not allow her to accompany you. |
| 102376 I owe <CHARNAME> my life. I will not betray <PRO_HIMHER>, nor your quest. |
| 102377 Truth. |
| 102378 Yes. There is malice in her heart, but it is not directed at us. |
| 102379 Are we finished, then? |
| 102380 We are. |
| 102381 There is also the matter of the drow. |
| 102382 We must aid against the encroachment of shadow, <CHARNAME>. Will you tell us of your efforts, my halfling friend? |
| 102383 We cannot leave without freeing this woman and this place of shadow, <CHARNAME>. I will not allow it. Light *must* pierce the shade. |
| 102384 I am glad to see light can penetrate even the darkest of situations. Let us hope that is the last of it... we've seen more than enough shadows this day. |
| 102385 We will do what we can, Hendak. No person should be forced to liveâ€â€and fight and dieâ€â€at the whim of others. |
| 102386 Is there no way to resolve this amicably, Balthazar? |
| 102387 We are long past that. Ready yourselves! |
| 102388 I'm not sure I like the sound of that. Nope, I'm really very sure I do NOT like the sound of that. |
| 102389 Aaaand we're going to go there, aren't we? Great. I'll just go and pack my bags. For an EXTENDED STAY. Wild mage, remember? And we're walking INTO the asylum? Ugh. |
| 102390 If it weren't Imoen, <CHARNAME>... Let's get this over with. |
| 102391 Oh gods. <CHARNAME>, this is a child. A CHILD. We've got to do something. Please. |
| 102392 This is the Cowled Wizards we're talking about. The COWLED WIZARDS. Wizard-hating scum? Almost as bad as the Red Wizards? You can't seriously be considering this. |
| 102393 I hope you know what you're doing, <CHARNAME>. It'd make for a pleasant change of pace... |
| 102394 Wow! <CHARNAME>, this place has some *serious* magic going on. My teeth are vibrating. |
| 102395 Is that what my nose really looks like? Jeez, why didn't anyone TELL me? |
| 102396 The trick is to see the spoon WITHIN the frogs, duh. |
| 102397 It was that simple? Ugh. Mentors! |
| 102398 I didn't even HAVE a mentor. Count yourself lucky, lizardman. |
| 102399 The githyanki are not |
| 102400 Nevermind. Lesser beings can hardly be expected to understand the intricacies of planar biology. |
| 102401 Hah! You dragons are all the same. All sound and fury, creatures of pure bluster! Come and fight us, you great coward! |
| 102402 I will treasure this moment, gnome. You are exactly where you belong. |
| 102403 We slaughtered your miserable hide last time, ogre. I will take great joy in doing so again! |
| 102404 The great elven city of Suldanessellar, brought to its knees by a single mage. Pathetic. |
| 102405 And you take pride in your survival? Wretch! Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. |
| 102406 This is no ordinary woman, <CHARNAME>. She reeks of evil. |
| 102407 Uh, <CHARNAME>? Are you suuure you know what you're doing? |
| 102408 Hello, Bodhi. |
| 102409 Hexxat of Mezro. A pleasure to meet you at last. |
| 102410 We'll see if you say the same when this is over. |
| 102411 This is a potion of extra healing. To use a potion, simply tap, hold, and release on it, and then press "Drink." You can also place your potion in your Quick Item slot and use it from there. |
| 102412 Tyras |
| 102413 Alarion |
| 102414 Mireille |
| 102415 Vidania |
| 102416 Zeris |
| 102417 Rurik |
| 102418 test string |
| 102419 Hello, <CHARNAME>. If you've come to ask me to rejoin you, the answer is no. I prefer the shadows to the limelight you currently enjoy. Perhaps I'll see you again when things quiet down. |
| 102422 Now we will go to her. |
| 102423 I can't rest. We can't rest. We have to go there. |
| 102424 We must go. To Dragomir. |
| 102425 It... it hurts? |
| 102426 What do you... what do you want? |
| 102427 As you wish. |
| 102428 If that is what you want. |
| 102429 You are lucky I'm here. |
| 102430 It's... cloudy. But I will try. |
| 102431 What would you have me do? |
| 102432 I am ready. |
| 102433 It's so... cloudy. |
| 102434 Yes, if it's... required. |
| 102437 My head hurts. |
| 102440 Ah! |
| 102441 Do not forget about... Dragomir... |
| 102444 Is this... Dragomir's Tomb? It's all so hazy... |
| 102445 The sun... it's too... I can't... |
| 102446 Please, no more... the sun is too much. |
| 102447 I can feel the presence. It's so... strong at night... I can't... |
| 102449 Hexxat... |
| 102453 I... I can't carry more. |
| 102454 I've finished what you ask of me. |
| 102455 If it is necessary. |
| 102456 Spell... didn't work? I don't... |
| 102457 It's done. We must not linger. |
| 102458 My companion, Neera. |
| 102459 My companion, Dorn. |
| 102460 *snort* The male who fights by your side? What do I care if you dally with him? But I shall have him executed before I allow you to choose him over me. |
| 102461 Well, all right, it's not him... It's, uh, someone else you don't know... |
| 102462 My companion, Hexxat. |
| 102463 My companion, Rasaad. |
| 102464 My companion, Anomen. |
| 102465 I have roamed the Sword Coast, seeking my fortune and occasionally doing as my patron bid me. |
| 102466 If you think I've any interest in associating with a group of weak-willed, pandering fools, you are mistaken. Get out of my sight. |
| 102467 Faerie Dragon |
| 102468 Fangs sink deep into Hexxat's neck. Her eyes roll back into her head as her life force is drawn out by the vampiress. |
| 102469 Then don't. Join me insteadâ€â€I could use a vampire's talents. |
| 102470 Are you sure about this, <CHARNAME>? |
| 102471 You just saw this monster murder a woman in front of your eyes, and you invite her to join our ranks? No! I'll not allow it. |
| 102472 Understood. What is your name? |
| 102473 I see where you're coming from, but technically speaking, I think that ship has sailed. |
| 102474 A pity. We could have done great things together, but that sort of attitude is of no use to me. |
| 102475 It's friends you want? I'm a good friend to have. |

| 102480 Ooh! Right in the berries! |
| 102481 Did you hear about the gladiator that had his left arm and leg severed? He's all right now! |
| 102482 Pick up the pace! I'm not paying you to slack off. Or at all. |
| 102483 Have you tried not blocking the sword with your face? |
| 102484 A beast has been slain! |
| 102485 Impressive, gladiator. Now do it again! |
| 102486 Oh sure, call in some friendsâ€â€they won't save you! |
| 102487 Do you see how easily Baeloth's champions fall before my minions? |
| 102488 A crushing blowâ€â€they're going to want ice on that! |
| 102489 Then we shall go to the graveyard. |
| 102490 Tombwalking requires tombs, <CHARNAME>. We can't use the casque here. We'll need to be in the city graveyard for it to work. |
| 102491 Ravager Change |
| 102492 FIGHTER: Fighters use melee weapons to inflict damage up close. They have a high number of Hit Points and can equip heavy armor. Fighters are excellent on both offense and defense. |
| 102493 MAGE: The Mage is a master of magical energies, shaping them in offensive and defensive ways. Mages can be excellent damage dealers, and are useful in disabling the defenses of enemies. |
| 102494 THIEF: Thieves possess a wide variety of skills. They can pick locks on chests and doors, disarm traps, and sneak up on enemies to deliver crippling blows. |
| 102495 CLERIC: The Cleric can call down divine powers to both mend and defend their allies. Clerics are also adept at destroying the undead. |
| 102496 RANGER: Rangers are warriors and woodsmen. They are skilled with light weapons and are knowledgeable in the ways of the forest. They can wield two weapons at once and are excellent with ranged weaponry. |
| 102497 BARBARIAN: Barbarians are excellent warriors, but are not as disciplined as Fighters. They cannot wear heavy armor, but their wild berserker rages and powerful attacks more than make up for it. |
| 102498 BARD: The Bard is like a Thief, but requires allies to truly excel. Their specialty is boosting the morale and skill of others through song, while at the same time inhibiting foes. |
| 102499 FIGHTER/MAGE: This character can use the abilities of a Fighter and a Mage, though they cannot cast spells while wearing armor. They may Specialize in, but not Master, any weapon they can use. |
| 102500 FIGHTER/MAGE/CLERIC: This character can use the abilities of a Fighter, Mage, and Cleric, though they are restricted to weapons allowed by the Cleric's ethos and cannot cast Mage spells while wearing armor. This character may Specialize in, but not Master, any weapon they can use. |
| 102501 FIGHTER/MAGE/THIEF: This character can use the abilities of a Fighter, Mage, and Thief, though they cannot use their thieving skills while wearing more than studded leather armor and cannot cast spells while wearing any armor. They may Specialize in, but not Master, any weapon they can use. |
| 102502 MAGE/THIEF: This character can use the abilities of a Mage and a Thief, though Mage spells cannot be cast while wearing armor. |
| 102503 CLERIC/MAGE: This character can use the abilities of a Cleric and a Mage, though weapons are restricted to only those allowed by the Cleric's ethos, and Mage spells cannot be cast while wearing armor. |
| 102504 CLERIC/THIEF: This character can use the abilities of a Cleric and a Thief, though weapons are restricted to only those allowed by the Cleric's ethos. Thieving skills cannot be used while wearing more than studded leather armor. |
| 102505 FIGHTER/DRUID: This character can use the abilities of a Fighter and a Druid, though weapons are restricted to only those allowed by the Druid's ethos. This character may Specialize in, but not Master, any weapon they can use. |
| 102506 CLERIC/RANGER: This character can use the abilities of a Cleric and a Ranger, though weapons are restricted to only those allowed by the Cleric's ethos. This character may Specialize in, but not Master, any weapon they can use. |
| 102507 MONK: Monks use their fists and feet to attack foes in melee combat. Monks typically do not use armor or weapons but their natural abilities improve enormously as they gain levels. |
| 102508 SORCERER: Like Mages, Sorcerers use their arcane might to cast offensive and defensive spells. Unlike Mages, Sorcerers learn their spells automatically and do not need to memorize specific spells each day. |
| 102509 PALADIN: Paladins are divine warriors, exemplars of everything good and true. Paladins are typically melee combatants, but they can also call upon their divine patron for aid. |
| 102510 DRUID: The druid serves the cause of nature and neutrality; the wilderness is his community. He uses his special powers to protect those who would aid nature and to oppose those who would seek to harm it. |
| 102511 You there! If you need to rest, go to the bunks. |
| 102512 If you need to rest, go to the bunks. |
| 102513 I'm sorry, I seem to be lost. Can you escort me there? |
| 102514 All right. I'll be on my way then. |
| 102515 This way! Follow me. |
| 102517 I will try. |
| 102518 Cursed Wound |
| 102519 Unable to heal |
| 102520 Especially since there is still the matter of the vampire and the drow you travel with. I will return to them later, rest assured. |
| 102521 Especially since there is still the matter of the vampire you bring with you. I will return to her later, rest assured. |
| 102522 The heretical cult the Twofold Trust is luring members away from rival orders in Trademeet, and the Sun Soul monk Rasaad needs your help to discover why.

Join forces with Hexxat, an explorer and thief in service to a mysterious master, to raid trap-laden dungeons in search of valuable relics. In Throne of Bhaal, Hexxat receives her final mission: venture into the laboratory crypt of the rogue lich Korkorran and eliminate him. Success brings a great, but unexpected, reward. Features: – A new companion, found in the Copper Coronet – A new quest in Shadows of Amn – A new quest in Throne of Bhaal – 4 large new locations to explore |
| 102525 What are you doing? |
| 102526 I hope you won't let it stop you, <CHARNAME>. It certainly won't stay my hand. |
| 102527 Yes. Crush them. |
| 102528 Dark Justice +5 |
| 102529 Once a great general in a celestial army, the Winged's days were spent warring against the fiends of the Abyss. During a tremendous battle against these demon hordes, one of her command decisions resulted in the destruction of a quarter of her legions. Furious over the loss, she abandoned her post and waded into battle herself, cutting down lesser demons by the dozen. Though she was personally victorious in combat, the larger battle was lostâ€â€without her leadership, her remaining forces were thrown into disarray and forced to withdraw. For dereliction of duty and her inability to control her emotions, the god she served stripped her of her rank and cast her out of her home plane. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – 15% chance of decapitating the opponent with each successful attack – Each hit drains 1d6 Hit Points from the target and transfers them to the wielder. This will not heal beyond the wielder's maximum. THAC0: +5 Damage: 1d10+5, +5 extra vs. chaotic Damage type: Slashing Speed Factor: 5 Proficiency Type: Two-handed Sword Type: Two-handed Requires: 14 Strength Weight: 7 |
| 102530 Aye, all right. I'm not paid enough to take on the likes of you. |
| 102531 Farewell. |
| 102532 Great. Now that we've sorted that out, we can get down to business. Who are we killing today? |
| 102533 I'd sooner die than foul myself helping the likes of you. |
| 102534 My patron demands the death of Bollard Firejaw of the Order of the Golden Lions. |
| 102535 Your patron? |
| 102536 You have a patron. You. You have a patron. Really? |
| 102537 Fiend! I'll not tolerate such perfidy! |
| 102538 Ur-Gothoz. |
| 102539 A tale of glory, written in the blood of the innocent. I would have some of that glory for my own. |
| 102540 It isn't my business, but it doesn't have to be that way. |
| 102541 Decide. Quickly. |
| 102542 Tartle is Dennaton's de facto lieutenant here in the pits, as he likes to remind everyone as often as possible. He's the one to see when I'm ready to face the arena. |
| 102543 This is a mirror shard that you have picked up in Bannor's room. STATISTICS: Weight: 2 |
| 102544 Scroll of Spirit Transference |
| 102545 The elderly wizard Dulf Ebonbeard has scribed this scroll for you. Powerful magic, contained therein and bound to Bannor the wizard, should allow the user to transfer Bannor's mind into their body while taking Bannor's as their own. |
| 102546 It has been several months since your escape from Baeloth's Black Pits. Tales of your deeds have spread far and wide, and bards sing of them wherever you travel... |
| 102547 <CHARNAME>! They are attempting to capture you, battle your way to freedom or become a captive once again! |
| 102548 The battle is hopeless, my friend! Lay down your arms and perhaps they will grant you mercy. |
| 102549 I... I can't move! |
| 102550 I'm paralyzed! |
| 102551 Can't... Can't move! |
| 102552 I'm stuck! |
| 102553 Help! I'm trapped! |
| 102554 This is the place. The tomb of Dragomir. I must enter... |
| 102555 The tomb of Dragomir. I must enter... |
| 102556 All right. If you must, we'll do it together. |
| 102557 Maybe you must, but I certainly don't. |
| 102558 Come for Hexxat? She's with me already. |
| 102559 (Give Hexxat the cloak.) |
| 102560 (Do not give Hexxat the cloak.) |
| 102561 I will punch you so hard you'll fart teeth! |
| 102562 Kill them all! Except the pretty girls. Save them for Voghiln! |
| 102563 For the hell of it! Ho! |
| 102564 Onward to battle, beer, and barmaids! |
| 102565 Augh, I am more tired than a one-legged dwarf chasing a wagon full of ale! |
| 102566 I need to be resting soon. I am hungry enough to eat a gnome. |
| 102567 This is boring me! I need some ale, or a wenchâ€â€or both! Ho ho! |
| 102568 Augh, this is boring. I'll try my father's counting game. One... two... I have run out of numbers. Let us go. |
| 102569 How can I be drinking ale with holes in my guts, huh? |
| 102570 Ho ho! Ready for some fun, are we? |
| 102571 Ach! Keep touching me and I'll kick your teeth in! |
| 102572 They don't call me Voghiln "The Vast" for nothing! Just look at these arms. Look at them! |
| 102573 Ah? Time for bashing something? |
| 102574 Easy... Best to keep your hands to yourself if you want to keep them at all! Ho! |
| 102575 Can't talk. Drinking. |
| 102576 What can mighty Voghiln do for you, huh? |
| 102577 Oh, ja! I can do that. And don't doubt I'll be breaking something in the process! |
| 102578 Ach, I'm going, I'm going! No need to be pushy. |
| 102579 If Voghiln can't do it, it probably can't be done! |
| 102580 Ja, I'll do it. Wait... there's no math involved, is there? No? Good. |
| 102581 Ja, now that is not such a bad idea! Maybe afterward we can have an ale? |
| 102582 I'll do it, but don't complain if someone gets bashed in the process. |
| 102583 I can do it two ways. The smart way or the Voghiln way. Guess which one I'll be using? |
| 102584 Augh! You'll have my boot in your schwanz for that one! |
| 102585 Ugh! |
| 102586 Augh! This is it... I feel it in my belly! I'm heading for the great tavern... in the sky... |
| 102587 Mmm... all of these wild animals are making me hungry. |
| 102588 Keep your eyes open for the nearest tavern. I am needing a drink! |
| 102589 Mmm. Dark, moldy, full of giant rats. Reminds me of mine underwear drawer. |
| 102590 Ja! Daytime. Time for beer! |
| 102591 Ja! Nighttime. Time for beer! |
| 102592 What a shame. See if there is any ale in their pack. We shouldn't let it go to waste. |
| 102593 Keep your hands to yourself. I am not a piece of meat. I have feelings too, you know! |
| 102594 Bash first, ask questions later. |
| 102595 ...and so I said to the minotaur, "I'll milk you and make you drink it!" Ho ho ho! |
| 102596 And that is why you never fight with mighty Voghiln! |
| 102597 Ugh! My grandmother hits harder than that! |
| 102598 Augh! A miss? Not enough ale! |
| 102599 Something is wrong! I cannot hurt it! |
| 102600 I cannot carry any more. I do not even have room for my ale! |
| 102601 Ah, some more coin for ale? I do not mind if I do! |
| 102602 Ho ho! I'm big, but I'm sneaky! |
| 102603 Ach! You broke my concentration... what were we talking about? |
| 102604 Voghiln sets a trap, someone sets it off, Voghiln takes their money and buys some ale. All in a good day's work! Ho! |
| 102605 Please don't kill me! |
| 102606 Watch out with those bladesâ€â€you could hurt me! |
| 102607 Ah, er, uh... someone? Anyone? Help? |
| 102608 A miss? Improbable! |
| 102609 That'll learn you to mock me! |
| 102610 Ugh! |
| 102611 Tell my wife... I never loved her... |
| 102612 Surrender or pay the price! |
| 102613 I will destroy you! |
| 102614 Is that the best you can do? |
| 102615 Ugh! |
| 102616 You should have surrendered when you had the chance. |
| 102617 Finally... it is done. |
| 102618 The goggles! They do nothing! |

| 102779 HOW TO PLAY |
| 102780 Domination Range: Visual range of the vampire Duration: 8 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Neg. A vampire's mental abilities are powerful tools indeed. Domination enables the vampire to control the actions of any creature while the ability is in effect. This control is maintained through a telepathic link between the caster and the victim. Unlike the 4th-level priest spell Mental Domination, the target has no option for release, even if made to do something against their morals. This effect can only be reversed by Dispel Magic. The target is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spell with a -2 penalty to negate the effect. |
| 102781 Hmm, is shadow dragon scales... stinky. I make good scale armor, protect you from acid maybe. 5,000 gp only, you wants? |
| 102782 Purple Crystal |
| 102783 This small piece of crystal was pried from an outcropping in Resurrection Gorge. Such crystals seem to be coveted by the local Faerie Dragons -- or at least one of them, who claims they function as an aphrodisiac for females of the species. STATISTICS: Weight: 0 |
| 102784 Spellcasters are vulnerable to physical attacks. Keep them out of melee combat. |
| 102785 Some spells do damage, others make enemies less effective. There are also spells that enhance your party members, making them stronger. |
| 102786 At the outset of battle, be sure to cast as many spells that enhance your party as you can. |
| 102787 Hang your magic users back, and have them hit the enemy with magic. Magic Missile is a great first spell to learn for this. |
| 102788 Pause often to reassess the situation and assign new targets to your party members. |
| 102789 Some spells impact a large area. Position your party to avoid being hit by friendly fire. |
| 102790 Disable enemies to make a fight more fair. Spells such as Sleep, Cloudkill, and Hold Person are excellent for this purpose. |
| 102791 There are many different kinds of melee combat characters. Fighters, Paladins, Clerics, Druids, and others can fill this role with the proper equipment. |
| 102792 While in combat, protect your spellcasters from attackers with your melee characters. |
| 102793 Pause often to reassess the situation and assign new targets to your party members. |
| 102794 You can block doorways to prevent your weaker or ranged party members from being reached. |
| 102795 Be sure to keep an eye on the Hit Points of your charactersâ€â€they can drop quickly in the heat of battle. |
| 102796 A useful tactic is to pepper the enemy with ranged shots before switching to a melee weapon and moving into close combat. |
| 102797 Basic Melee Combat |
| 102798 Basic Magic Combat |
| 102799 That will never happen! |
| 102800 Is that what they want? Very well. I'll go with you... for now. |
| 102801 Bet it does. |
| 102802 The swords were sheathed, the spells unweaved, the final battle fought. |
| 102803 Our heroes' wits had solved the pits; their freedom did they win. |
| 102804 So fled the cage 'midst Baeloth's rage upon a mighty djinni. |

| 102903 A pity; I was just starting to enjoy our dance! |
| 102904 MAGGOTS! Have this victory, then! It matters not! |
| 102905 Away! We cannot stand against them! |
| 102906 Weakling! Must I do everything myself?! |
| 102907 Tsk, tsk. Is that any way to act when there's so much killing to do? |
| 102908 I am the new Lord of Murder. You shall be my first victims! |

| 102940 I've... acquired a feather. A feather from a planetar's wing. |
| 102941 "A feather from a planetar's wing." In six words you have become infinitely more interesting, <CHARNAME>. |
| 102942 You can use it? |
| 102943 I'm glad to hear it. |
| 102944 I'm going to sell it. |
| 102945 You may find me boring, but I think this feather interests you. |
| 102946 And now you bore me once again. |
| 102947 You've got a better use for it? |
| 102948 As luck would have it, I was just researching a new spell... |
| 102949 I might be able to devise something that would help one fight the planetar whose wing that feather came from. |
| 102950 If one were so inclined to fight said planetar...? |
| 102951 Do it. |
| 102952 I think I'll just sell it, thanks. |
| 102953 As you wish. Come see me on the morrow. |
| 102954 Perhaps it does at that. |
| 102955 Ah, there you are. And here is that scroll we discussed the other day. Use it wisely. |
| 102956 As wisely as anyone planning to battle a planetar can use anything, at any rate. |
| 102957 Gezzthemin's Scroll |
| 102958 This scroll is specifically attuned to The Winged. It grants the user and <PRO_HISHER> allies a slight advantage against her in combat. This effect is temporary and will wear off quickly in the heat of battle. STATISTICS: Special: grants a +5 bonus to hit and damage against The Winged Range: Touch Area of effect: 10' radius Duration: 2 turns |
| 102959 I've acquired a feather. |
| 102960 Indeed? Good for you. |
| 102961 Hm. What? A planetar's wing? Where did you get that? |
| 102962 A feather from a planetar's wing. |
| 102963 I found it in the Winged's quarters. |
| 102964 From a planetar's wing. |
| 102965 Never mind where I got it. The question is what can be done with it? |
| 102966 Funny thing to leave laying around. What do you plan to do with it? |
| 102967 I was hoping you might tell me. |
| 102968 I'm not sure yet. |
| 102969 Sell it, unless you have a better idea. |
| 102970 Yes, well. If you're going to look for a feather from a planetar's wing, that's certainly a good place to start. |
| 102971 Is there anything you can do with it? Spell-wise, I mean? |
| 102972 I wasn't looking for it, exactly. But I've got it now. The question is, what can be done with it? |
| 102973 That's really something Gazz, erm. Gaspacho's more likely to have a use for. Yes. Talk to him. |
| 102974 If you had a few dozen more you could, hm, maybe make a duster. |
| 102975 You know, to pick up dust? |
| 102976 But such a thing does have other uses. MAGICAL utility, you know. |
| 102977 I've acquired a feather from a planetar's wing. I thought you might be able to do something useful with it. |
| 102978 I could do something with it, but nothing useful. Gezzthemin is the one you want to talk to. |
| 102979 Inasmuch as one can want to talk to such a person. He seems to take pleasure in the discomfort of others. A most unpleasant individual. |
| 102980 Still, if anyone can use such an item, it is he. |
| 102981 Thanks, Gerrold. I'll go talk to him now. |
| 102982 I've come across a feather from a planetar's wing. Interested? |
| 102983 Intriguing. If it is what you say, I will give you 5,000 gold pieces for it. |
| 102984 And I will take your 5,000 gold pieces. |
| 102985 And they say illithids have no sense of humor. It's worth twice that, at least! |
| 102986 It is what I say, but I don't think I'm ready to part with it yet. |
| 102987 It surely would be, to some outside these pits. But you are not outside these pits, and you'll get no more than the 5,000 I offer here. |
| 102988 Fine. Give me the gold. |
| 102989 I'll find another use for it, then. |
| 102990 Maybe you'd be willing to trade? Let's see what you've got for sale. |
| 102991 Not to me. Begone. |
| 102992 The choice is yours, of course. Farewell. |
| 102993 I found a feather in the Winged's quarters, presumably one that fell from her own wing. Perhaps one of the performer mages will have a use for it. If not, the illithid merchant might find it of interest. |

| 103001 Mirror Image (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 2 Range: 0 Duration: 15 rounds Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Cerebus creates 6 exact duplicates of himself. These images do exactly what he does. Since the spell causes a blurring and slight distortion when cast, it is impossible for opponents to be certain which are the illusions and which is the actual Cerebus. When an image is struck by a melee or missile attackâ€â€magical or otherwiseâ€â€it disappears, but any other existing images remain intact until they are struck. However, it is important to note that this will not protect Cerebus against every attack, as it is possible for an enemy to choose the real one amongst all the images. |
| 103002 Improved Invisibility (Illusion/Phantasm) Level: 4 Range: Touch Duration: 15 rounds Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None Improved Invisibility allows Cerebus to vanish from sight for up to 15 rounds. However, if he attacks during that time, a telltale shimmering will give away his general position, allowing an observant opponent to target him. Attacks against Cerebus while he is invisible suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls, and his Saving Throws are made with a +4 bonus during this time. This ability also grants Cerebus nondetection, rendering him undetectable by divination spells such as Invisibility Purge. |
| 103003 Moon Dog Sight The moon dog can see through (and therefore dispel) all forms of illusion and invisibility, detecting traps and evil in the vicinity. |
| 103004 Healing Lick Heals 20 Hit Points and cures disease, deafness, blindness, and poison. |
| 103005 Moon Dog Howl Damages and instills fear in enemies who are evil while also dispelling fear and casting Protection From Evil on party members. |

| 103007 Dispel Magic (Abjuration) Level: 1 Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: None A Dispel Magic spell removes magical effects upon anyone within the area. This includes effects given from spells, potions and certain magical items such as wands. It does not, however, affect enchanted magical items or spell protections such as Spell Turning and Spell Deflection. The chance of the dispel succeeding is determined by the level of the caster and the level of the magic being dispelled. The base chance of successfully dispelling is 50%. For every level that the caster of the Dispel Magic is above the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success increases by 5%. For every level that the caster of Dispel Magic is below the original caster, <PRO_HISHER> chance of success decreases by 10%. However, despite the difference in levels, there is always at least a 5% chance of success or failure. Thus, if a caster is 10 levels higher than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 5% chance of failure. Similarly if the caster is 4 levels lower than the magic <PRO_HESHE> is trying to dispel, there is only a 10% chance of success. Intuitively, this spell is almost useless if the target is 5 or more levels higher than the caster. Note: While this spell dispels the individual effects of Grease, Web, Stinking Cloud, and other such spells, it does not dispel the area of effect. |
| 103008 Find Familiar (Conjuration/Summoning) Level: 1 Range: 0 Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None This spell enables the Beast Master to attempt to summon a familiar to act as <PRO_HISHER> aide and companion. Familiars are typically small creatures. A creature acting as a familiar can benefit its master, conveying its sensory powers to <PRO_HIMHER>, conversing with <PRO_HIMHER>, and serving as a guard/scout/spy as well. A Beast Master can have only one familiar at a time, and <PRO_HESHE> has no control over what sort of creature answers the summoning, if any come at all. Note: This spell can only be cast by the protagonist. The creature is always more intelligent than others of its type (typically by 2 or 3 Intelligence points), and its bond with the Beast Master confers upon it an exceptionally long life. The Beast Master has an empathic link with the familiar and can issue it mental commands. The Beast Master receives half the familiar's total Hit Points (rounded down) as bonus Hit Points. However, the Beast Master must take care to treat <PRO_HISHER> familiar well, for if the familiar should die, the Beast Master loses the bonus Hit Points and half the familiar's Hit Points again as damage. Also, when a familiar dies, the Beast Master loses 1 point of Constitution PERMANENTLY. Example: A Beast Master has 10 Hit Points and casts Find Familiar. The fairy dragon summoned has 24 Hit Points, so the Beast Master gets a bonus of 12 Hit Points. The Beast Master now has 22 Hit Points. If the familiar dies, the Beast Master loses those 12 Hit Points (putting <PRO_HIMHER> back at 10), loses 1 point of Constitution permanently (which may cause additional Hit Point loss), and takes 12 damage. Here is a list of the familiars that the Beast Master receives according to alignment: LAWFUL GOOD, NEUTRAL GOOD: Pseudo Dragon – Hit Points: 24 – Armor Class: -2 – Magic Resistance: 50% – Combat: 2 attacks per round at 13 THAC0 for 1d3 damage, save vs. Death or be rendered unconscious for 2 turns – Special Abilities: Can cast Blur once per day. Regenerates 1 HP/round. Immune to level drain, sleep, and petrification. CHAOTIC GOOD: Fairy Dragon – Hit Points: 24 – Armor Class: 4 – Magic Resistance: 32% – Combat: 2 attacks per round at 13 THAC0 for 1d2 damage – Special Abilities: Can cast Mirror Image and Invisibility, 10' Radius once per day. Immune to level drain, sleep, and petrification. |
| 103009 Shapeshift: Werewolf Strength: 19 Dexterity: 16 Base Armor Class: 1 Number of Attacks: 2 Attack Damage: 1d6 (piercing), strikes as +2 weapon Special Abilities: – Magic Resistance: 20% |
| 103010 Berserk Minsc becomes enraged for 2 turns. While enraged, he gains a +2 bonus to his Strength and Dexterity and becomes immune to charm, confusion, fear, feeblemind, hold, level drain, maze, stun, and sleep. He also gains 15 temporary Hit Points, which are taken away at the end of the berserk spree (possibly knocking him unconscious). |
| 103011 Shapeshift: Greater Werewolf Strength: 21 Dexterity: 20 Base Armor Class: -6 Number of Attacks: 3 Attack Damage: 1d6 (piercing) Special Abilities: – Fire Resistance: 50% – Cold Resistance: 50% – Electricity Resistance: 50% – Acid Resistance: 50% – Magic Resistance: 40% |
| 103012 Krotan's Skullcrusher +2 |
| 103013 Even the hordes have their heroes, and while they are vilified in civilized company, their deeds are sometimes impressive nonetheless. Krotan was an exceptionally intelligent orc, as far as orcs go, who commanded an ever-shifting legion of ogres, orcs, hobgoblins, and other assorted beasties during the Year of the Lost Lady, 1241 DR. It was in this year that a group of orc bandits allegedly kidnapped and killed a Tethyrian noblewoman, and the response from authorities was a genocidal slaughter of orcs throughout the south in her memory. Krotan mounted a defense that ensured his people were not entirely destroyed; though they were displaced. Krotan himself fell near the end of the conflict, and his head was mounted outside the graveyard where the young lady was buried. As a point of interest, orcs called this time the "Year of Pushing Too Far."

| 103014 Acclamation This spell enables a priest to aid and protect any one being other than themselves. By touch, the caster removes the effects of fear, sleep, feeblemind, unconsciousness, and intoxication, as well as berserk and confused states of mind. In addition, the recipient is protected against spells and other attacks that cause these effects for 1 turn. |
| 103015 Divine Favor This spell grants the caster a +1 bonus to hit and damage rolls every 3 levels of the caster. The spell lasts for 2 rounds. |

Using this ability reduces your reputation by two points, as even those who do not witness the event can sense the corruption caused by giving yourself over to instinct. The Slayer form grants the following benefits: – Strength and Dexterity set to 25 – Effective AC set to -9 – Magic Resistance set to 40% – Saving Throws set to 2 – Attacks per round set to 4 (1d8 crushing, 2 cold) – THAC0 set to 0 – +100 Hit Points – Immunity to imprisonment, level drain, stun, and missile attacks |

| 103047 The mouth-watering scent of these savory dumplings makes it tempting to gulp them all down in a single go. While doing so would be understandable, it would also be wasteful, at least if their creator is to be believed. He claimed that consuming a single dumpling before a battle would lend the eater additional vigor; from his tone, you infer that eating all in one sitting would give you indigestion.

| 103059 shaman |
| 103060 SHAMAN: Shamans forge a divine connection with the natural world, similar to the way Druids commune with nature, but Shamans are more spiritual than primal. They directly tap into the energies that flow through the earth and air, through plants and animals, and even through the dead, and shape these energies to obey their will. Nowhere is this more evident than in their ability to summon powerful spirits as guardians and defenders. A being of two worlds, Shamans value balance over dominance. CLASS FEATURES: – May only wear leather, studded leather, and hide armor. – May not equip shields larger than bucklers. – May only use the following weapons: dagger, club, spear, axe, quarterstaff, dart, sling, and shortbow. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any weapon class. – May only become Proficient (one slot) in any fighting style. – May cast druidic spells. – Does not automatically learn all spells of a given level as Druids do. Instead, Shamans select new spells to learn at each level, which they can cast daily without memorization. – Gains immediate access to a number of Shaman-specific spells, which can be cast like any other: Spirit Ward, Writhing Fog, Spiritual Clarity, Spirit Fire, Recall Spirit, Spiritual Lock, and Ether Gate. – Gains use of the Detect Illusion skill with 20% points as a base and an 4 points per level, up to a maximum of 100% at level 20. – May use Shamanic Dance at will. SHAMANIC DANCE: Shamans can summon spirit allies by performing a ritualistic dance. While dancing, the Shaman takes a -4 penalty to Armor Class and cannot move, attack, cast spells, use items and special abilities, or perform any other activity. Each round while the Shaman dances, there is a 35% base chance plus 2% for each level of the Shaman that a spirit will answer the call, up to a maximum of 75% at level 20. Any summoned spirits will disappear if the Shaman moves, stops dancing, or if the spirits leave visual range. The spirits grow in power as the Shaman gains additional levels: Level 1: Minor animal spirits (snake, fox, hound), up to 2 spirits at the same time. Level 6: Major animal spirits (bear, panther, boar), up to 3 spirits at the same time. Level 12: Minor nature spirits (lesser air spirit, lesser earth spirit, lesser fire spirit), up to 4 spirits at the same time. Level 18: Major nature spirits (air spirit, earth spirit, fire spirit), up to 5 spirits at the same time. The type of the summoned spirit is randomly determined from all the spirits available at the Shaman's level. For example, a level 12 Shaman will summon either a minor nature spirit, a major animal spirit, or a minor animal spirit, but cannot choose which one appears. Spirits will do their best to protect the Shaman but are not controlled directly. – Does not gain bonus spells per day from high Wisdom. – Alignment restricted to neutral good, true neutral, and neutral evil. – Ineligible for any stronghold. – Hit Die: d8 |

| 103063 Spirit Ward (Abjuration) Level: 1 Sphere: Wards Range: Touch Duration: 3 rounds/level Casting Time: 1 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell surrounds the recipient with a magical barrier at a distance of one foot. Spirits, fey creatures, elementals, and spectral undead receive a penalty of -2 to hit when attacking the protected creature. In addition, the recipient gains a +3 bonus to Saving Throws against all spells that belong to the Enchantment school. This spell cannot be cast on spirits, fey creatures, elementals, or spectral undead. |
| 103064 Favored of the Spirits |
| 103065 Favored of the Spirits Range: 0 Duration: 1 hour Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: The caster Saving Throw: None This powerful rite shields the Shaman from death for 1 hour or until discharged. While under the protection of this rite, the Shaman is immune to all forms of death magic. In addition, if the Shaman is reduced below 10% Hit Points and the rite is active, the Shaman instantly receives the benefit of a Heal spell. The rite's protection (including the immunity to death) is completely discharged once the Heal spell is triggered. Requires: Spirit Form |

| 103067 Writhing Fog |
| 103068 Writhing Fog (Conjuration) Level: 2 Sphere: Summoning Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: 1 turn Casting Time: 2 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special This spell conjures a cloud of writhing fog that chills and hinders anyone within its area other than the caster. Creatures in the fog take 1d3 points of cold damage per round. In addition, there is a 20% chance that they must save vs. Death or be slowed for 1 round. Creatures immune to cold damage do not suffer any adverse effects from this spell. |
| 103069 Spiritual Clarity |
| 103070 Spiritual Clarity (Abjuration) Level: 3 Sphere: Protection Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Instant Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None With this spell, the shaman strengthens a creature's spiritual resolve and purges the creature's mind of negative influences. The spell removes the effects of fear, charm, confusion and feeblemind from a single creature. |
| 103071 Spirit Fire |
| 103072 Spirit Fire (Conjuration) Level: 4 Sphere: Summoning Range: 40 ft. Duration: Instant Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special As the Shaman casts this spell, energies gather together from the spirit world and form a pale blue sphere. The Shaman can throw the sphere so that it explodes into a burst of ghostly, azure flames, which deliver 1d4 points of magic damage per level of the Shaman (up to a maximum of 10d4). There is also a 33% chance that every enemy within the area of effect will be afflicted by the Doom spell (-2 penalty to Saving Throws and attack rolls for 1 turn). A successful Save vs. Spell halves the damage and negates the Doom effect. Spirits, fey creatures, elementals, and spectral undead take double damage. |
| 103073 Recall Spirit |
| 103074 Recall Spirit (Necromancy) Level: 5 Sphere: Summoning Range: Visual range of the caster Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 9 Area of Effect: 1 person Saving Throw: None The shaman calls back a deceased person's spirit if it still lingers near the body.

Duration: 1 turn + 1 round/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: Negates The target of Spiritual Lock must Save vs. Spell with a -2 penalty or have its mind temporarily sealed away within the spirit world. During this time, the victim is unable to perform any actions that require conscious thought such as attacking, using items, or casting spells. Spirits, fey creatures, elementals, and spectral undead Save vs. Spell with a -4 penalty instead of -2. Spiritual Lock is blocked by spells and abilities that protect against feeblemind effects. |
| 103077 Mind Locked Away |
| 103078 Ether Gate |
| 103079 Ether Gate (Alteration) Level: 7 Sphere: Travelers Range: Touch Duration: 5 rounds Casting Time: 3 Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None This spell transports one creature, chosen by the caster, to the Ethereal Plane. The creature vanishes for the spell's duration, at which point it returns to the physical world in the exact same spot where it was before. While in the Ethereal Plane, the victim cannot interact with anyone or anything that resides on the Prime Material Plane. There is no saving throw against this spell, though it is subject to magic resistance. Friendly creatures can lower their magic resistance so that the shaman can target them with this spell. In addition, Ether Gate is blocked by spells and abilities that protect against maze effects. |
| 103080 Ethereal Retribution |
| 103081 Ethereal Retribution (Conjuration) Level: Quest Sphere: Summoning Range: 40 ft. Duration: 3 rounds Casting Time: 8 Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius Saving Throw: Special Ghostly figures called by the Shaman swirl around the battlefield, tormenting the Shaman's adversaries.

In addition, all living enemies (undead and constructs are unaffected) must save vs. Spell or lose 2 points of Strength every round for 5 rounds. The Strength loss is cumulative, but this spell cannot reduce the Strength of a creature below 1. |

| 103103 Strength When necessary, Mazzy can draw upon a great well of strength for brief periods of time. Using this ability sets her Strength to 18/75. Upon reaching level 13, the Strength increase is to 18/00, and she receives an additional +4 THAC0 bonus to all attacks. Such might cannot be sustained indefinitely, alas. After 3 turns, the power coursing through her body ebbs, and Mazzy's Strength returns to normal levels. |
| 103104 Haste When circumstances demand it, Mazzy can move at incredible speeds for brief periods of time. Using this ability, she resembles nothing so much as a body imbued with a wizard's Haste spell; she can run twice her normal distance in the same amount of time and receives an additional attack in each round of combat. Such a pace cannot be maintained indefinitely, however. The effect only lasts for 3 rounds + 1 round per level before she slows again to her standard speed. |

| 103154 Voidsword +3 |
| 103155 To all appearances a standard long sword, one standing long in its presence will soon discover it is far more than that. Specially made by Jegg Hillcarver of Bridgefort, this sword has several voidstone shards worked into the metal of the blade. A powerful weapon when used against most targets, its one great deficiency is in its utility against the undead. Objects of the Negative Material Plane have no effect on the unliving; neither then does this blade. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Strength: -1 Combat abilities: – The target suffers -1 to Strength for 5 rounds per hit (minimum 1 Strength; Save vs. Spell negates) – Does no damage to the undead – Bonuses to hit and damage based on strength do not apply to this weapon THAC0: +3 Damage: 1d8+3 (magic) Speed Factor: 2 Proficiency Type: Long Sword Type: One-handed Requires: 6 Strength Weight: 2 |
| 103156 Voidhammer +3 |
| 103157 To all appearances a standard war hammer, one lingering long in its presence will soon discover it is far more than that. Specially made by Jegg Hillcarver of Bridgefort, this hammer has several voidstone shards worked into its metal head. A powerful weapon when used against most targets, its one great deficiency is in its utility against the undead. Objects of the Negative Material Plane have no effect on the unliving; neither then does this normally devastating weapon. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Strength: -1 Combat abilities: – The target suffers -1 to Strength for 5 rounds per hit (minimum 1 Strength; Save vs. Spell negates) – Does no damage to the undead – Bonuses to hit and damage based on strength do not apply to this weapon THAC0: +3 Damage: 1d4+4 (magic) Speed Factor: 1 Proficiency Type: War Hammer Type: One-handed Requires: 9 Strength Weight: 4 |
| 103158 Robe of Red Flames |
| 103159 This heavy crimson robe trimmed in gold signifies the importance of the wearer. Once the property of Edwin Odesserion, Red Wizard of Thay, the robe was designed to further enhance his already significant magical prowess. Anyone who dons the Robe of Red Flames will deal additional damage whenever they use fire-based magic and will be less likely hurt by it. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Fire Resistance: +30% – All fire damage inflicted by the wearer is increased by 10% Weight: 4 |
| 103160 Belt of the Skillful Blade |
| 103161 A blacksmith in Cormyr is responsible for designing this item. Say'an Keenedge was renowned for designing the sharpest, best balanced, and most beautiful blades in the country. She was also a bit of a hothead and grew furious when she saw less-skilled fighters wielding her weapons. For her finest work she handed out one of these belts free with purchase, in order that her weapons never be mishandled. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Slashing Damage: +10% bonus – THAC0: +2 bonus with the off hand (Blades and Swashbucklers only) Weight: 2 |
| 103162 Archer's Eyes |
| 103163 The pair of eyes that form the charm of this amulet are old and petrified, and the numbers "331" are engraved on their sides. Rumor has it that the eyes' original owner was a blind warrior noted for his uncanny accuracy with a bow. The amulet seems to bestow some of these traits on its wearer. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Chance to score a critical hit: +5% (ranged attacks only) – Dexterity: +1, (+2 for Archers) Weight: 1 |
| 103164 Helmet of Dumathoin |

| 103166 Hat |
| 103167 Bard Hat |
| 103168 This soft cap looks neither durable nor practical. Its stylish appearance marks it as strictly decorative. |
| 103169 This ostentatious peacock-blue hat is festooned with green and purple feathers. Once the possession of an unfailingly chipper bard, the hat was stolen when the bard couldn't resist showing off the hat in a seedy tavern and bragging about its magical powers. In truth the hat has only moderate enchantments on it, but its stylish appearance makes it a coveted choice for many bards. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Immunity to silence and deafness – Bard song effects linger on for 2 additional rounds after the bard stops singing Weight: 0 |
| 103170 Biter +2 |
| 103171 This dart gleams like a streak of light when flying through the air. When it hits its target, it releases a tiny acid droplet before soaring back to the hand that threw it. Sometimes the acid manages to burn a hole in the target's armor. STATISTICS: Combat abilities: – 10% chance per hit of penalizing the target's Armor Class by 1 for 1 turn (Save vs. Breath negates) – Returns to the wielder's hand when thrown THAC0: +2 Damage: 1d3+2 (missile), +1 acid Speed Factor: 0 Proficiency Type: Dart Type: One-handed Weight: 0 |
| 103172 Armor Class Penalty |
| 103173 Cittern |
| 103174 Tangled Strings |
| 103175 These pear-shaped variations on the common yarting have four sets of paired strings that produce rich tones. They are popular peasant instruments. STATISTICS: Weight: 3 |
| 103176 This cittern looks as if no bard could coax a tune from its crisscrossed and frayed strings. However, when played, the cittern gives off a sweet and clear tone. A clever bard can master the art of playing the tangled strings all at once, creating a jangling melody that listners find incredibly disruptive. STATISTICS: Charge abilities: – Dispels confusion effects on a single target twice per day Weight: 3 |
| 103177 Buckler of the Fist +2 |
| 103178 Members of the Flaming Fist mercenary company that serves Baldur's Gate and surrounding areas often carry these bucklers. A red flame emblazoned on the front of the shining bucklers clearly identifies the bearer's loyalty. Experienced Flaming Fist members often have their shields enchanted. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +3 – No protection against missile and piercing attacks – Immunity to Hold Person Requires: 4 Strength Weight: 1 |
| 103179 Circlet |
| 103180 Circlet of Lost Souls |
| 103181 A circlet is a circular band, typically made of precious metal, worn on the head as an ornament or symbol of status. Circlets carrying low-level enchantments are commonly worn by mages across Faerûn. Weight: 1 |
| 103182 Adventurers delving in a tomb centuries ago were set upon by ghosts and spectres when they entered the central crypt. The adventurers fought bravely but, one by one, they fell to the ghosts' attacks. Years later, the daughter of one of the adventurers hired a team to delve into the tomb and recover the bodies. The daughter told her group not to disturb anything but the dead adventurers they had come to collect, and the spirits of the tomb let them be. The woman kept her dead father's circlet as a memento of his bravery. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Caster Level: +1 – Summoned spirits are constantly under the effects of the Bless spell Weight: 1 |
| 103183 Heart of the Mountain |
| 103184 During a skirmish between a powerful water elemental and a powerful earth elemental, a tiny fragment of the latter broke off. An orc fleeing the site of the battle snatched the fragment up as she ran. This she gave to her tribe's shaman, who immediately recognized its power and fashioned it into an amulet. The Heart of the Mountain is of particular use to those who do the Ghost Dance. Such folk dwell at least partly in the realm of the spirits; the amulet forges a stronger connection 'twixt them and the earth, lending its wearer strength in the face of physical adversity. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – Armor Class: +2 – Summoned spirits gain +10 Hit Points Weight: 0 |
| 103185 Dragon Blade +3 |
| 103186 A silver dragon with sapphire eyes curls around the hilt of this powerful two-handed sword. It is said that a legendary Rashemi warrior was given the sword for demonstrating exceptional valor in battle where he fought side by side with a silver dragon but the details of the tale have been lost to time. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: – While enraged, the chance to score a critical hit is increased by 10% (Berserkers, Barbarians and Rashemi warriors only) Combat abilities: – Deals an extra 2d4 points of cold damage and slows the target for 1 round (no save) on a critical hit THAC0: +3 Damage: 1d10+3, +1 cold Damage Type: Slashing Speed Factor: 7 Proficiency Type: Two-handed Sword Type: Two-handed Requires: 14 Strength Weight: 9 |

| 103193 Orc |
| 103194 Orc Orcs are the hereditary enemies of goblins and hobgoblins, with whom they often compete for resources. Reasonably intelligent carnivores, orcs are constantly waging war against other races to maintain their tribes. These wars thin the weak predators from their tribes and gather resources for the next generation. Orcs have a reputation for being extremely powerful warriors. Wizards have tried to create orcish variants to take advantage of the race's natural ferocity and strength. |
