Dialogue[edit]

Before the fight begins
Honor's Claw: Ginva! You have turned my den into an atrocity. Your rampage ends here!
Ginva the Butcher: And how was killing your own children? Come, and tell me of the slaughter.
Ginva the Butcher: They died for me as loyal servants to Dragon. Their faith was weak, easily broken with a violent hand.
Honor's Claw: If you want to know violence, I will teach you!
