Dialogue[edit]
- Upon entering
- Kasmeer Meade: Lace curtains here, linen tablecloths there. And a sign out front that says, "Delaqua Investigations," or—
- Marjory Delaqua: Stop. No curtains, no tablecloth, and most of all, no sign.
- Kasmeer Meade: But—
- Marjory Delaqua: No.
- Kasmeer Meade: But—
- Marjory Delaqua: Okay, maybe curtains, but only if they're black.
- Kasmeer Meade: (sigh) I can see you're tired and cranky. We'll talk about it some other time.
- Marjory Delaqua: You're a sight for sore eyes.
- Speaking with Kasmeer Meade first (before Marjory)
- How are you? You look like you have news?
- I just saw the probe in Lion's Arch change color. To green.
- I find it distressing that a probe has changed color—especially one in Lion's Arch. We need to find out if any others turned on as well.

- I just saw the probe in Lion's Arch change color. To green.
- Speaking with Marjory Delaqua
- I'm glad you came to see us.
- Yes, I hurried here as soon as I saw the probe near Lion's Arch turn green.
- Hmm. Now I'm worried, too. Why did it turn green?
- Probably because it found what it was looking for.
- So what's the plan?
- Let's do some sleuthing, Miss Detective. Gather everything you know about Scarlet.
- Can do. I have contacts in the Durmand Priory. I'll call in a few favors and get them to send me some of the evidence they've gathered. I'll contact you when it arrives.
- (if a member of Durmand Priory)
- I'm a member myself. Mention my name. They may come more quickly.
- Oh, perfect. That may give me just the leverage I need. I'll definitely do that. Thank you. That may even speed things up a bit. I'll be in touch.
- Great. In the meantime, I'll track down Braham and talk to Councillor Kiel.
- Sounds good. I'm off to find Braham and talk to Councillor Kiel.
- Later.
- Speaking with Kasmeer Meade
- I find it distressing that a probe has changed color—especially one in Lion's Arch. We need to find out if any others turned on as well.
- Ask around. See if anyone else has seen one.
- I will. And Jory will too. She's always happiest when she's investigating. You're going to let Braham know what's happened?
- Yes. We can all meet back here once the evidence arrives.
- Jory's contacts in the Durmand Priory will come through soon, I'm sure. We'll contact you when it's here.
- Thanks. In the meantime, I'll find Braham and talk to Councillor Kiel.
- Yeah. I think I know where to find him.
- I'll be back.
- Afterwards
- Kasmeer Meade: Rox! Come in. Join us, please.
- Marjory Delaqua: You should hear what happened.
- Speaking with Rox
- What's Marjory talking about? Where've you been?
- Investigating Scarlet. I saw the Lion's Arch probe turn green.
- I don't like the sound of that.
- Me either. She already attacked Lion's Arch once.
- I was there. She and her Aetherblades left a lot of dead citizens that day.
- We can't let her do it again.
- You're in charge. We've got your back. What's the plan?
- Afterwards
- Marjory Delaqua: Long time no see.
- Rox: So how did you two meet?
- Marjory Delaqua: About six months ago, I was just minding my own business and...
- Kasmeer Meade: She'd posted a "Help Wanted" sign. And I was looking for someone to help.
- Rox: So you met only six months ago? It seems like you've been together longer.
- Marjory Delaqua: I'd noticed her before that—around the city.
- Kasmeer Meade: You had? You never told me that.
- Rox: So...you're a mated pair?
- Kasmeer Meade: (laugh)
- Marjory Delaqua: (chuckle) We're currently in negotiations.
- Rox: C'mere, Frostbite.
- Kasmeer Meade: What about you, Rox? Anyone special in your life?
- Rox: No. There was once, but he was killed.
- Kasmeer Meade: I'm sorry. Was he in your old warband? Braham said you're a gladium.
- Rox: Braham talks too much.
- Kasmeer Meade: Don't be mad. We're your friends.
- Marjory Delaqua: Yeah, what are friends for, if not for sticking our noses in each other's business?
- Speaking with Rox once more
- You should rest awhile before you head out again. Eat, drink. Recharge.
- Good call. Say, I wanted to ask: How did your...mate die?
- In a mine cave-in, with the rest of my warband. His name was Nonus Pickflea...I mean Nonus Pickaxe. Pickflea was his nickname. We teased him. We'd been best friends since the fahrar.
- I'm so sorry.
- We were the Pick warband, best miners in the region. We could turn out more ore in a day than any other warband.
- Was it hard for you, left alone like that?
- They were my family. I still miss them...every last one.
- I understand.
