Kasmeer Meade Party Invitation Dear <Character name>, Please join us at the Dead End bar in Divinity's Reach for a celebration of our victory over Scarlet. We'd really love it if you could attend. Rox and Braham have already sent an RSVP in the form of a bottle of charr whiskey and a keg of norn beer. You don't have to bring anything but your smile. Though you'll probably want to wear a bit more than that.—Kasmeer

The Dead End[edit]
- Entering the instance
- Marjory Delaqua: Look who's here.
- Braham Eirsson: Greetings, my friend.
- Rox: We're celebrating Scarlet's demise. It's good you could make it.
- Braham Eirsson: Ngg. Ow.
- Rox: Will you relax, Braham? Sit down. If you keep standing on that leg...
- Marjory Delaqua: Better ease up on that leg, B, or it won't heal right.
- Braham Eirsson: It doesn't hurt anymore.
- Kasmeer Meade: Is that why you make that bear noise every time you sit down?
- Braham Eirsson: That's just the Spirit moving in me.
- Rox: Ha! Ha ha! Nice one, Braham!
- Everyone cheers.
- Marjory Delaqua: A toast! To the hero of the hour and all.
- Braham Eirsson: AroooOOOooo!
- Marjory Delaqua: Aw yeah.
- Rox: Woo!
- Kasmeer Meade: Yay! (laugh)
- Marjory Delaqua: So, tell me. How did it feel to stomp the evil snot out of Scarlet?
- Talking with Marjory
- Marjory Delaqua: So tell us. How did it feel when you finished Scarlet for good. But don't make me laugh. My ribs are still sore.
I finally understood the meaning of "kuh-Braham!"
Not as sweet as a kiss. (wink)
Like pulling a dandelion and getting the whole root.
- Marjory Delaqua: Oh no, you did not just... (laugh)
- Taimi: Hi! What's so funny?
- Braham Eirsson: Hey, who let the rabbit out of its cage?
- Taimi: That's not funny.
- Kasmeer Meade: Join us, Taimi. We're celebrating our victory over Scarlet. Would you like some juice?
- Taimi: I suppose we should celebrate while we still can.
- Taimi walks further in.
- Rox: What's that supposed to mean?
- Taimi: Nothing.
- Braham Eirsson: C'mon, kid. What are you talking about?
- Taimi walks next to the group.
- Taimi: You know, don't you? Scarlet wasn't just fooling around.
- Taimi points at <character name>.
- Kasmeer Meade: You know something? Tell us.
- Talking with Kasmeer
- Kasmeer Meade: Don't hold anything back. We're all ears. You know Scarlet better than any of us. After all, you killed her. So, what's Taimi talking about?
I think all of Tyria heard that dragon's cry.
- Is that what you think it was? A dragon? Oh, it would make so much sense to think that Scarlet was messing with the dragons.
- I believe that was her plan all along. Her drill caused one of them to stir.
- Yes, we heard it too. Which one do you think it was? Primordus? Kralkatorrik? Jormag? Do you think one is sleeping beneath Lion's Arch?
- No. I think Scarlet disturbed the ley lines, knowing they feed the dragons.
- I don't understand.
- The dragons consume magic. The ley lines are currents in an ocean of magic.
- And Scarlet threw a giant rock in that pool, sending ripples out to the dragon. It makes sense. You're brilliant.
I've been crafting this theory and assembling the pieces for a while now.
You will. We have an active dragon on our hands, thanks to Scarlet.
- I don't know, and it doesn't matter. They're all dangerous.
- She loved tempting fate.
- Marjory walks over to the bar.
- Marjory Delaqua: Much as I loathe to even entertain the idea, I do believe you're right.
- Kasmeer Meade: And here we thought Scarlet was the worst of our problems.
- Braham Eirsson: I'm not afraid of no dragon.
- Rox: Braham. (sigh) I'll have to take you to the Brand sometime. No single warrior can stand alone against a dragon.
- Taimi: Fortunately, we have each other.
- Marjory Delaqua: (laugh)
- Kasmeer Meade: (laugh)
- Braham Eirsson: (laugh)
- Rox: (laugh)
- Taimi: What?
- Braham Eirsson: With you on our team, Squeak, how could we possibly lose?
- Braham Eirsson: (groan)
- Kasmeer Meade: Who let that bear in here?
- Braham Eirsson: (laugh) (groan) Oh, don't make me laugh.
- Marjory Delaqua: Hey, that's my line.
- Rox: We better feed that bear before it decides we're food.
- Marjory Delaqua: I requested a roast chicken from the kitchen. We'll eat soon.
- Belinda walks into the bar.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: Little Miss Marjie. Have you any idea how difficult you've been making my life? Mother never shuts up about you.
- Marjory Delaqua: I told you to never call me that.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: (laugh) You told me lots of things, sis.
- Kasmeer Meade: Sis? Jory? Is this your sister?
- Marjory Delaqua: Yes. Come on in, Belinda. Say hello to my friends.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: It would be my pleasure.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: Hi, Marjory's friends. You're the band that took out Scarlet. I'm honored to meet you all.
- Braham Eirsson: Ngg. Ow.
- Braham sits down, Taimi sits next to him.
- Braham Eirsson: (groan)
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: Congratulations on killing Scarlet. That sylvari was trouble with a capital T.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: So, how are you? You're looking a little skinny.
- Marjory Delaqua: (laugh) Oh gods, don't tell Momma that. Besides, look at you. Getting fat in that cushy new Seraph post of yours?
- Kasmeer Meade: Oh, I don't think she's fat at all.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: Why, thank you. My sister's always been jealous of my voluptuous figure. She used to call me Big Beli.
- Marjory Delaqua: Only because you called me Little Miss Marjie, like I was some snooty noble or something.
- Kasmeer Meade: Oh!
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: You were snooty.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: Marjory used to order me and all the other kids around, even though she was the youngest.
- Kasmeer rejoins Rox, Taimi, and Braham.
- Marjory Delaqua: What's this about Momma fretting?
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: Oh, you know how she gets. And when she heard you'd been in the fight against Scarlet, well…
- Marjory Delaqua: She sent you to check on me.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: I'm to report back this evening.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: I can't stay long, my dear. I'm just here to count your limbs and listen to your heart. So, how is your heart?
- Marjory Delaqua: Strong as ever. What do you think of Kasmeer?
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: She's beautiful. And charming. But, isn't she from a noble family?
- Marjory Delaqua: She used to be. Her family lost its titles under…tragic circumstances. She's one of us now. She works for me.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: I see. Well, in that case, I wish you and her every happiness. I can see that you care deeply for her.
- Marjory Delaqua: Yes, I do.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: Congratulations! I'm happy for you.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: I heard you dealt the killing blow to Scarlet. You have my respect and gratitude.
- Talking with Belinda
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: Marjie's told me a lot about you. She really respects you, you know? I appreciate that you've got her back. She's always been such a loner.
- We have a good team. So, you're a Seraph, huh?
- That's right. I'm posted at Fort Salma. But, in a week, they're sending me on a long expedition into the Brisban Wildlands. I came home to see my mother before we leave.
- That's a lot of adventure for a Seraph, isn't it?
- Yes, it is. But we're after a group of black-market traders who've been disrupting the economy here in the city. Our reports say that's where they're headquartered.
- Safe journey then.
- That's a dangerous territory. Safe journey.
- We're a ragtag bunch, but we take care of each other.
- Seraph Belinda Delaqua: Good-bye, everyone. It was so nice to meet you all.
- Rox: Until we meet again.
- Belinda leaves the bar, leaving a note behind on a table.
- Braham Eirsson: Did you get in trouble for roaming the camp?
- Taimi: No. Yes. Zojja gave me extra calculations as a punishment, and I never got to see Scarlet.
- Braham Eirsson: Sounds like Zojja cares about you.
- Taimi: No, she doesn't. She cares about her record. If I do well, it reflects positively on her as my college mentor.
- (pause)
- Braham Eirsson: So you don't like Zojja's college?
- Taimi: I was not designed to be in Synergetics. I was designed for Statics.
- Braham Eirsson: I don't know what that means.
- Taimi: It means I'd rather make stuff than talk about making stuff.
- Braham Eirsson: Oh. Yeah. Me too.
- (pause)
- Taimi: Must be nice to have a sister.
- A cutscene pans out of the bar, displaying "To be continued…", ending the instance and making the rewards appear.
Additional dialogue[edit]
- Taimi: Hey, Braham.
- Braham Eirsson: Uh-huh.
- Taimi: You wanna hear about the new aetherphaser I invented for my golem? I modeled it after Scarlet's tech.
- Braham Eirsson: Uh-huh.
- Taimi: It works just fine, but I have to keep adjusting the gorometer.
- Braham Eirsson: Uh-huh.
- Taimi: I had to shave down the minious array wheel in order to get it to fit on Scruffy, but I got it.
- Braham Eirsson: Uh-huh.
- Taimi: Next, I'm gonna make him a panmetric listening device so he can warn me in advance if someone's sneaking up on me.
- Braham Eirsson: Uh-huh.
- Taimi: Hey, Braham.
- Braham Eirsson: Uh-huh.
- Taimi: I like you because you're big and dumb.
- Braham Eirsson: Uh-huh.
- Braham Eirsson: (laugh) Shut up!
- Taimi: (giggle)
- Talking with allies
- Marjory Delaqua: I personally reported your victory over Scarlet to Logan Thackeray. He sends his regards.
- That was kind of you.
- It was purely selfish. For the first time in my life, I actually feel sincere when I brag about the people I fight beside. I never felt that in the Ministry Guard.
- Why did you quit the Guard anyway?
- That's a long story, perhaps for another day. I'll just say that I overstayed my welcome.
- Did they kick you out.
- No, I quit of my own accord. I guess I couldn't take the political games anymore. I'm a simple woman. Right and wrong. Truth and lies. I'm not a fan of gray.
- Their loss is our gain.
- I see.
- I see.
- (if human)
- He actually went on for some time about how impressed he is with your progress and how he "knew you when." I thought, for a second, I'd have to hand him my handkerchief.
- For all his tough talk, he's a big softy inside.
- Don't let him hear you say that. He'll be scarred for life.
- Dwayna preserve us.
- What can I say? He likes me a little.
- Noted.
- Kasmeer Meade: The whole dragon thing has me a little sick to my stomach. Why can't they just go back to sleep?
- It's complicated. Say, are those your roses?
- Yes. Isn't Jory sweet? She got them for me. Because she's proud of how I stood up to Scarlet.
- As she should be. How are you after all that?
- Marvelous! I still can't believe it was me. And you, you were amazing. We fielded everything she threw at us. It was like we were of one mind.
- I couldn't have done it without you.
- Oh, sure you could have. All I did was distract her a bit. You're the one she was really afraid of.
- Feels good to overcome evil.
- I never thought, until I met Jory and you, that I'd be the kind of person who'd overcome evil. I've noticed something though. My hiccups are gone.
- You're braver than you think.
- Now, we just have to deal with her mess.
- I feel the same.
- I'm proud of you too.
- We'll have to sing them a proper lullaby.
- Rox: I bet you're wondering why Frostbite and I are hiding out in a human bar in a human city.
- Not really. I'm here too.
- Well, since you asked. Frostbite is afraid to report to Rytlock. Since we didn't actually help kill Scarlet, exactly. I've been ignoring his summons.
- Why are you afraid? Surely he'll understand.
- It's a charr thing. Technically, he could gut me for disobeying an order.
- What? You mean court-martial, right?
- No. I mean it's within his rights to kill me on the spot for disobeying his direct order. And besides, I'm going to have to tell him, I don't want to be in his warband. I'm doomed.
- You need to face him eventually.
- (if charr)
- Technically, he could gut you for disobeying and order.
- Shhh. Not in front of Frostbite. I know. Do you think he'd do that? I mean...make an example of me? I let him down.
- You fought your way to Scarlet's doorstep.
- Yeah, I wish that counted for something. But...the truth is...when I chose to stay with Braham, I knew then that I didn't want to be in the Stone warband.
- You realize what you're giving up, right?
- Of course, I do. But I'd be giving up even more if I left these people.
- You'll have to face up to it sooner or later.
- Hang in there, Frostbite.
- I know why you're here. Because we're here.
- Taimi: I told you so. I told you all. I knew Scarlet had grand plans, but did you listen? No. And now, there's at least one dragon, maybe more, who want to destroy all of Tyria.
- You also told us Scarlet was fascinating.
- I didn't lie. She was. Okay, maybe I underestimated just how dangerous she was, but that's a minor thing. I just wanted to see her lab and maybe be her apprentice for a while.
- She'd have killed you.
- I know that. That's why I didn't do it, silly.
- You were right about her grand plans, though.
- Mind your manners.
- Braham Eirsson: You really believe that stuff about Scarlet poking the dragon?
- Yeah, I do.
- Taimi: Well, you've got it right. Scarlet wanted to touch the dragons, and she succeeded. Quite impressive when you think about it.
- I have a theory about why, but what do you think?
- Why do our greatest minds ever do anything? In order to know, to learn, and to understand.
- I think she was more practical than she let on.
- Braham Eirsson: Or more crazy. I'm gonna guess she was hoping to make a dragon or two mad so they would attack. Don't matter. All that matters is she's dead now.
- How's your leg?
- It's okay. Better. I'm ignoring it. My legend is in the bog, and I can't believe I have to wait for this leg to get better. It's making me as crazy as Scarlet.
- Your legend isn't in the bog.
- Sure it is. I might as well be starting from scratch. I'll go down in history as the guy who couldn't hold his own in the fight against Scarlet.
- Not true. One fight doesn't make or break a legend.
- And good riddance.
- Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.
- I'm not impressed.
- It's too soon to tell.
