Dialogue

Upon approaching

Basil: Who is... Who is that?

Basil: (breathing) Oh... It's...you.

Talking to Basil

H-hey... I... (groans) Kryptis got me good, heh. I'm...impressed.

Don't worry, we'll get you out of here. Just hold on!

(coughs) I don't think that's going to fly with the f-fates. I'm just glad to have company... Though, can I...ask you something?

Of course. I'm here.

Basil: Embla was right behind me when the portal...opened... I... Her blood was...

Basil: The scream... (groans)

Basil: I managed to...pull myself here... Aellin, my...

Basil: If you...make it out... Could you take this...to him?

S-so what do you say? Will you take it to them[sic]...?

Aellin, you said? Of course I will. Rest, Basil.

Basil: Aellin, he...he's in...Lion's Arch. Refuses to leave...

Basil: The most beautiful...

Character name: I'll find him; I promise you that.

Basil: My smile...

Basil: (dying breath)

'Bye.

Hold that thought.

Good luck.

Notes

Bugs:

• His character model can be invisible, leaving only the name to find him by.
• Even after his model "disappears" after he finishes his dialogue, it can still be interacted with and will display the dialogue chain from "S-so what do you say?". If you go away far enough before interacting with, the dialogue restarts from "H-hey... I... (groans)"
• Sometimes, interacting does not bring up the dialogue.
• If Comrades in Arms hasn't been unlocked and started yet, despite being able to have the complete dialogue with Basil and being able to promise him you'll deliver the letter, Aellin will not be present in Lion's Arch until you start that achievement and progress Basil's dogtag in it by talking to him again.
