Dialogue

Bloodtide Coast

At Mournful Depths Waypoint

Benthic exploration is its own reward. Our analysis of the sea floor caverns has provided fascinating insights.

Sounds like interesting work.

Undersea caving is filled with rich sensation. So deep beneath any visible surface, you become weightless and unrooted.

Be careful down there.

Fireheart Rise

At Mangonel Bivouac, charr scholar

Exhilarating, isn't it? The dwarves are a fascinating race. Were, I should say, since they're all but extinct now. Their lands have been overrun by creatures of a terrible demeanor. Pay attention as you roam this area.

What do you hope to find here?

If we're lucky, we'll find some old dwarven weapons. You'd be surprised at how well they survive the years. Dwarven workmanship is unparalleled.

Good luck.

I'll protect you if you want to go look now.

Wonderful! I'll get to it then.

Bye.

Bye.

At Mangonel Bivouac, sylvari scholar

I've never come across anything dwarven related that wasn't in an area of extreme hazard. The dwarves were nothing if not bold. Their loss was a great wound on the world. I'd be careful around here, if I were you.

What are you hoping to find?

It's difficult to say. I have high hopes that we'll find dwarven weapons nearby, anything that will help us fight the Flame Legion.

Good luck.

I'll protect you if you want to go look now.

Excellent. I'll start off now.

Bye.

Bye.

Lion's Arch

Inside Lion's Arch Aerodrome

Glenna mentioned that you might need a lift. She's apparently discoevered something.

So where do I go?

Just through the door and up the starts to the waiting airship. It'll take you to the same destination that the Bloodstone Fen portal leads to.

Thanks!

Maybe later.

Lornar's Pass

At the Durmand Priory headquarters

Ah, another brisk day in the mountains.

You're not cold at all?

Well, it may be a tough chilly. You clearly haven't spent enough time in the mountains. It's almost temperate by our standards. It may make me a little sleepy, but I can handle some cold.

Sleepy, sure. Hey, that fire looks nice.

Yeah, brisk. Oh, look, a cozy fire.

I'm lucky I've been stationed at Priory headquarters. The air is thick with knowledge. I can almost feel it.

Sounds like moldering paper to me.

At Durmand Priory during Defeat Reidarr Rockcrusher to calm him down

I can't believe that blasted norn is back. He's so disruptive!

What norn?

That Reidarr fellow. He comes around every now and then and hollers for a challenger. Poor lout's probably had one too many drinks.

Challenger?

Yes, and he'll continue to shout for a challenger until someone agrees to fight him. I'd do it myself, but he'd throttle me. I've seen him take on five men at once!

I'll have to see how tough this Reidarr really is.

Be careful, he's a big fellow. And if his bite's as bad as his bark, he could be trouble. Good luck.

Thanks.

I'll let someone else handle it.

I'll go see how tough he really is. (Same as above.)

Someone else will take care of him.

He's noisy, but he's not hurting anyone.

During Defend Cascade Bridge from pirate bombers

Pirates are bombing the bridge! Somebody has to stop them!

Where is it? I'll gladly help!

Thank you! The bridge is southeast of here. Take down any bombers you find on your way. Their explosives would make short work of that bridge.

On my way.

Why would pirates bomb a bridge?

The bridge is the only safe trade route south. Destroying the bridge will sever our supply lines. Maybe they want to ambush caravans or weaken the Lionguard, but either way, they have to be stopped!

Point the way. I'll try to help. same as "Where is it? I'll gladly help!"

Sounds tough, but I don't have time.

Why don't you help?

I was told to recruit help. Why else would I be here instead of fighting pirates?

Point taken. I'll help. same as "Where is it? I'll gladly help!"

Thank you! The bridge is southeast of here. Take down any bombers you find on your way. Their explosives would make short work on that bridge.

On my way.

Not interested. Find someone else.

I'm too busy right now.

During Protect the workers repairing Cascade Bridge

Cascade Bridge has been destroyed by pirates! All trade south has been completely blocked. I'm here to find recruits to help defend the repair workers.

I think I could help with that.

The bridge is southeast of here. Repairs are underway, but the workers won't be able to finish the job without protection.

On my way.

I'm busy.

Mount Maelstrom

On a cliff in Murkvale, sylvari scholar

The minions of Zhaitan mar all they touch. To the unseeing eye, they appear disorganized, but beneath Mount Maelstrom the minions act with purpose.

What does that tell us?

It's foolish to assume that Zhaitan's minions lack intelligence. Should we rush into battle unprepared, our warriors will be crushed by waves of darkness.

I'll be careful as I decimate Zhaitan's forces.

Better to kill them here than on the home front.

At Rata Pten, only with Secrets Obscured active, before receiving an Ancient Astral Ward Manual

I've been working for weeks on these scrolls, but I must be getting close. Once I crack the cipher they used, I'll be able to write a dozen papers about early asuran society.

How much for the scrolls?

What? How dare you! You can't put a price on knowledge like this. Go away; you're distracting me!

Leave.

Can I borrow them? Maybe I can figure it out.

Ha! This is my entire field of study, and you think you're going to crack it instead? Stop wasting my time; I'm very busy here.

Leave.

Oh no, those  jerks really tricked you, didn't they?

What are you talking about? Who tricked me?

A rival research group planted fake artifacts here to waste your time.

Oh, come on, that's not possible...is it? Although... I did find it odd that I couldn't crack this cipher yet, despite my expertise in the field...

If you let me borrow them, maybe I can prove it.

Fine, whatever. Dammit! All this wasted time. Make them pay for this, all right? I need a drink...

Farewell.
