Ambient dialogue[edit]

Andre the Butcher: Hello.

Citizen: How's business?

Andre the Butcher: Same as always. Out for a stroll?

Citizen: Yep.

Andre the Butcher: See ya.

Child (1): Tag! You're it!

Child (1): I'm gonna get you! Raaawr!

Child (2): Get away!

Child (1): (laughter)

Citizen (1): How are you?

Citizen (2): Meh.

Citizen (1): Feel better.

Citizen (1): The merchants are worried. Centaurs keep disrupting supply lines to the city.

Citizen (2): You'd better stock up. Things could get bad.

Citizen (1): I like it here... but I miss home.

Citizen (2): This is home. You've never even been to Cantha.

Citizen (1): Don't you want to see the land of your ancestors? Aren't you even curious about Kaineng City?

Citizen (2): If times were different, of course I would. But I'm not making a pilgrimage to some place that's probably half underwater by now.

Citizen (2): Besides, all the history books say Kaineng City was a dump.

Citizen (1): I'm so tired of hearing about all these bandit attacks. I should move someplace nicer, like Elona.

Citizen (2): Elona? We haven't heard from them in decades. It might be nicer, if anyone's still there, but with Orr so close...

Citizen (1): Oh. Right. Well, what about Cantha, then? Surely they can't have it that bad.

Citizen (2): The tengu were the last ones to make that trip. But that was over a century ago, and they were leaving. And they went right past—

Citizen (1): Orr, right. Well, I guess the bandits aren't that bad.

Citizen (1): It's so hard to find good Canthan cuisine anymore...

Citizen (2): What do you expect? After a hundred years without trade, it's hard to keep things authentic.

Citizen (1): My grandma made great Red Bean Cakes. I'd kill for one right now. Really. I bet you think I'm joking.

Citizen (2): I, uh, hear the commons has some. I'd show you, but I have to be... somewhere else. Now. Good day!

Citizen (1): Necromancers dresses like freaks. They smell like freaks!

Citizen (2): I wouldn't want to be caught dead in one of those outfits.

Citizen (1): Was that supposed to be a joke?

Citizen (2): Maybe.

Citizen (1): Oh! It's you! Hi!

Citizen (2): Oh, hello! How are you?

Citizen (1): I'm great! And you look fantastic.

Citizen (2): Thanks! 'Bye!

Citizen (1): So I says to her, I says, "Hey. If you were built like Lyssa, I wouldn't have to ask!"

Citizen (2): Charming. And blasphemous. All rolled into one.

Citizen (1): Who do you think would win in a fight—Grenth or Melandru?

Citizen (2): Well, Grenth is the god of death, and Melandru is part tree...

Citizen (2): Death... tree... death... tree... Tough call.

Citizen (1): You're not gonna believe this. My no-good brother-in-law wants to move to Lion's Arch.

Citizen (2): How's he supposed to get there across a battlefield full of centaurs? And why would he risk his life like that?

Citizen (1): His wife deserves better. Lion's Arch used to be a respectable place. Now they've gone rogue. Independent. They must think they're too good for the queen, I guess!

Citizen (2): Heh. Maybe your brother-in-law's planning on becoming a pirate.

Citizen (1): Yeah, right. When I'm done with him, he's gonna wash up on shore.

Citizen (1): I'm sick of these high prices. I thought the queen would've won the war by now.

Citizen (2): She's a good woman. Not like the minister.

Citizen (1): Minister Caudecus is a woman?

Citizen (1): Seriously, Queen Jennah's too young for the throne. Minister Caudecus should be in charge.

Citizen (2): We love our queen. You don't? Then get out on the damn battlefield.

Citizen (1): (sigh)

Citizen (2): You all right?

Citizen (1): I've been better.

Citizen (1): My kids are driving me crazy. Every day they pretend they're arena fighting.

Citizen (2): I've never even seen an arena.

Citizen (1): It gets better. They're forming a "guild" against the Ascalonian kids.

Citizen (2): Those kids are trouble. Too wild. Someone's gotta teach'em a lesson.

Citizen (1): Through imaginary combat?

Citizen (1): Logan Thackeray came through here!

Citizen (2): How did you know it was him?

Citizen (1): He looked angry, like he was on his way to a fight.

Citizen (2): Yep, that's Logan.

Citizen: Excuse me. How much is that?

Helf Stonebrow: That one's mine. It's not for sale.

Citizen: Are you sure? I can pay handsomely. It's magnificent.

Helf Stonebrow: Why not gaze at my inventory? I sell marvelous, murderous, massive weapons at low, low, prices!

Helf Stonebrow: Would you like a demonstration? Watch me cut! Watch me slice! Watch me butcher an animal in one swift stroke!

Citizen: Oh, my. No! No! Please, please, put the weapon down.

Helf Stonebrow: You'll be back!

Citizen: What do you have for sale?

Tierny: Baskets! I pick only the finest reeds. In fact, I knew some of them personally!

Citizen: If I need any "ethically woven" baskets, I'll keep you in mind.

Halan Frohmanj: Good day to you, madam! Should I be so bold as to introduce myself? Or would you find it overly forward of me?

Citizen: What?

Halan Frohmanj: A lovely name! My name is Halan Frohmanj. With an "h". Forgive me for being overly familiar.

Citizen: How do you do, Mr. Fromard?

Halan Frohmanj: It's pronounced Frohmanj. The "h" is silent. It is one of the myriad nuances of the Elonian language.

Citizen: If you say so, Harlan.

Halan Frohmanj: It's Halan. I am overwhelmed by such linguistic prowess! If you will forgive me, young woman, I must rapidly depart. My studies await!

Citizen: Step out for some sunlight once in a while.

Grikka: Trinkets and treasures! Low, low prices! No one can beat my bargains!

Helf Stonebrow: Like a crazed berserker, I am slashing prices!

Helf Stonebrow: No one is crazier than I am! With prices this low, I am practically giving things away!

Helf Stonebrow: No one has deals like I do! No beast! No man! No god! I am literally killing the competition!

Helf Stonebrow: My slaughter will flood this marketplace in an ocean of bloody bargains! Buy or die!

Mercenary: Out of my way.

Citizen: What's your problem?

Mercenary: Your thin skin.

Citizen: Can't you just say "excuse me" like everyone else?

Mercenary: Fine. "Excuse me". Now get out of my way!

Citizen: If the charr think they can come here, me and my meat cleaver will tell them otherwise.

Citizen: Hello, Officer.

Seraph Soldier: Any problems here?

Citizen: That charr is back. He makes me nervous.

Seraph Soldier: I'll keep my eyes open. Carry on.

Refugee Farmer (1): This place is nothing like home. It's just too big.

Refugee Farmer (2): Where should we go next? Carnival in the Commons? The No-Man Band? You wanna look at the queen's palace?

Refugee Farmer (1): I want food, and I want a place to sleep. Clean clothes would be great.

Refugee Farmer (2): It's all huge buildings and rude people. I don't think they have much in the way of charity.

Refugee Farmer: Hey, you from around here?

Citizen: We're all from somewhere else, but Divinity's Reach is home.

Refugee Farmer: I never thought of it that way.

Seraph Soldier (1): What's the good word?

Seraph Soldier (2): They found another body in the sewers.

Seraph Soldier (1): Was it...

Seraph Soldier (2): Uh-huh.

Shining Blade Guard: We have some questions.

Citizen: Is there something wrong?

Shining Blade Guard: We're looking for a woman. Early thirties. Long blonde hair, fair skin. Very tall. Scar on her jaw. You see anything?

Citizen: She works for me. Haven't seen her for a few days. Does this have something to do with the queen?

Shining Blade Guard: You see her again, you tell us right away.

Citizen: I'll keep an eye out. I'm just glad someone's looking for her.

Tierny: How can I help you?

Uwe Roaldson: I need ale, and I need it now!

Tierny: This isn't a bar.

Uwe Roaldson: I'm almost sober. It's horrible!

At the start of dusk: Town Crier: Dusk has fallen over Divinity's Reach.; Town Crier: If you can hear my voice...; Town Crier: ...you've made it through another day.; Town Crier: Good for you.
