Ambient dialogue[edit]
- Upon approaching Prince Bakkal's retinue
- Prince Bakkal: Greetings! Do you bring word from our venerated ruler Palawa Joko?
- <Character name>: No.
- Consort Nalci: No one has heard from our esteemed lord in months. Are you concerned, Your Highness?
- Prince Bakkal: Concerned? About the immortal, all-powerful master strategist of Vabbi? What concerns could I possibly have?
- Advisor Yolac: You did lose your entire contingent of Awakened to the Forged.
- Consort Nalci: And you lost control of the foundry and the mines.
- Advisor Yolac: And the Forged have stripped the palace bare.
- Consort Nalci: And you're currently receiving supplicants from behind iron bars.
- Prince Bakkal: All part of the grand design, I assure you. No need to be concerned. King Joko loves us, one and all.
- Prince Bakkal: Hello, and welcome. I am Prince Bakkal.
- Prince Bakkal: I have the distinction of being the sixteenth ruler of Vehjin.
- Advisor Yolac: This year.
- Prince Bakkal: You may be wondering why I'm behind these bars.
- Prince Bakkal: Rest assured, I'm here of my own volition. It is imperative that a proper chain of command persists in these trying times.
- Consort Nalci: Trying, indeed.
- Consort Nalci: Wake up, Your Highness. You have a visitor.
- Prince Bakkal: What? Yes? Is it Palawa Joko? Has he returned?
- If asura:
- Advisor Yolac: Not unless he's become a diminutive know-it-all with disproportionate facial features.
- If charr:
- Advisor Yolac: Not unless he's grown fur and a tail.
- If human:
- Advisor Yolac: Not unless he's become a fleshy young man again.
- If norn:
- Advisor Yolac: Not unless he's doubled in height and bathed in ale.
- If sylvari:
- Advisor Yolac: Not unless he's traded places with a houseplant.
- Prince Bakkal: Has he...? Wait, oh, no, yes...I see.
- Prince Bakkal: Another supplicant come to stare at me through these bars?
- Prince Bakkal: I feel less like a prince and more like a beast in the Garden's menagerie.
- Consort Nalci: It could be the odor, Highness. The chamber pots won't fit through the bars.
- Prince Bakkal: Can't we open the bars? Just a small amount?
- Advisor Yolac: You threw away the key, Highness. As a safety measure.
- Prince Bakkal: And the Forged have yet to reach us.
- Prince Bakkal: Welcome to Vehjin. Please consider my palace, your palace.
- Prince Bakkal: And if there is anything I can do for you, you need only ask with a bit of bowing and scraping.
- Consort Nalci: What exactly can you do from in here?
- Advisor Yolac: I might reduce that further. What can you do?
- Prince Bakkal: Pay them no heed. Insubordination is a well-known side effect of claustrophobia.
- Prince Bakkal: Oh, greetings, loyal subject! Are you a locksmith by any chance?
- Consort Nalci: Our only locksmiths were Awakened, and they've all been destroyed.
- Prince Bakkal: Of course they have. Well, no matter, I'm quite comfortable here in this well-appointed, secure royal meeting room.
- Consort Nalci: Another approaches, my prince.
- Prince Bakkal: A messenger of our resplendent leader, King Joko, come to rescue us?
- Consort Nalci: I'm not entirely sure that it would be a positive development should His Lordship's messenger find you in here.
- Prince Bakkal: What do you mean?
- Advisor Yolac: You're not supposed to be in this room. It was meant only for King Joko himself.
- Prince Bakkal: Oh, dear... I ran in here in a moment of panic. Very uncharacteristic, to be sure.
- Prince Bakkal: Be sure not to touch anything—we'll put it all back the way we found it. Our omniscient leader shall be none the wiser...
- Consort Nalci: And what of the supplicant? He's/She's seen you inside.
- Prince Bakkal: Can we dispose of him/her?
- Advisor Yolac: That could prove difficult given our current, ah, situation.
- Prince Bakkal: Right, yes. Well, then let the Awakened handle it!
- Consort Nalci: The Awakened are all gone, Highness. Still.
- Prince Bakkal: Still? Hm, then I suppose we grant the supplicant whatever favor we can.
- Prince Bakkal: With the understanding that we granted said favor from a location well outside this room, of course.
- Prince Bakkal: Isn't someone going to announce me?
- Consort Nalci: What do you mean?
- Prince Bakkal: Whenever someone would approach, our Awakened would say something.
- Advisor Yolac: What would they say? I kind of tuned them out.
- Prince Bakkal: You know. Titles and whatnot. Lofty things. Also, I think you're supposed to call me "Your Highness."
- Advisor Yolac: More strangers approach, Your Highness—sauntering about as if they own the place.
- Consort Nalci: Do you have a plan for regaining control of the palace, my prince?
- Prince Bakkal: Most assuredly. Let the Awakened handle it!
- Advisor Yolac: The Awakened are gone, Highness. Wiped out.
- Advisor Yolac: And none of those imbued with the almighty King Joko's authority have come to do the raising.
- Prince Bakkal: Still? It's unlike them to be dead so long.
- Consort Nalci: To be fair, reports indicate there was very little left to raise after the battle.
- Prince Bakkal: Very troubling. Thankfully, we have a guest here to distract us with...something less bleak, I hope.
- Prince Bakkal: My, my. More visitors than one would anticipate considering the world is ending.
- Consort Nalci: Is the world truly ending, Highness?
- Prince Bakkal: Only if it is the will of Palawa Joko.
- Advisor Yolac: Praise Joko.
- Prince Bakkal: Praise Joko.
- Consort Nalci: Praise Joko.
- Prince Bakkal: Though I'm certainly important enough to be told if he decided to bring about the end of times.
- Prince Bakkal: Until that time, we must maintain a sense of normalcy.
- Consort Nalci: Indeed. Please, dispense your wisdom from your princely prison cell without further interruption, Highness.
- Concluding variants:
- Prince Bakkal: What is it you require?
- Prince Bakkal: Now, how may the crown serve?
- Prince Bakkal: Now, to what do we owe this pleasure?
- Prince Bakkal: So, you have your audience. What do you ask of me?
- Prince Bakkal: So, with what matter can I assist?
- Outside the palace
- Elonian Royal (1): Do you know how long it takes for fruit to spoil?
- Elonian Royal (2): A few months, I believe. However long they're normally on the trees.
- Elonian Royal (1): Oh, good. Then I have some dates I can share with you.
- Elonian Royal: It feels like it's been ages since I've gotten a good night's sleep.
- Noble: I'm too worried to sleep.
- Elonian Royal: I think I just saw your brother trying to cobble his own shoes.
- Noble: Fantastic. We needed a new cobbler.
- Elonian Royal: We still do.
- Noble/Elonian Royal (1): I can't wait for our illustrious leader to finish off those intruders once and for all.
- Noble/Elonian Royal (2): Yes, and then we'll celebrate! Praise Joko!
- Noble/Elonian Royal (1): Have you seen my golden pocket watch?
- Noble/Elonian Royal (2): No. Perhaps the Forged made off with it during their latest raid.
- Noble/Elonian Royal (1): How will I ever manage my time without it?
- Noble/Elonian Royal (2): My lady, you spend your day reading poetry and sipping wine.
- Noble/Elonian Royal (1): Yes, and I have an exacting schedule to keep.
- Noble (1): Do you think a work song would help our efforts?
- Noble (2): Who's singing it? You?
- Noble (1): Yes, I remember a few tunes from my days managing the Awakened.
- Noble (2): No.
- Noble (1): I've misplaced my favorite bowl. Have you seen it?
- Noble (2): Yes...
- Noble (1): That sounds ominous.
- Noble (2): Well, you see, my chamber pot was full...
- Noble (1): You're disgusting. Savage.
- Noble (1): Have you seen Miss Buttons around here?
- Noble (2): Who?
- Noble (1): She’s my cat. Completely hairless and an absolute beauty.
- Noble (2): Fortunately, no.
- Noble (1): Why do you think King Joko has let this nonsense persist for so long?
- Noble (2): His Majesty’s omnipotence means his victory is inevitable–what's the hurry?
- Noble (1): I saw a vulture swoop down and pick up a cat today.
- Noble (2): What? Really? Do vultures swoop?
- Noble (1): Well, I think it was a vulture. And a cat. They'll be coming after us next!
- Noble (2): You still have a healthy supply of wine, don't you?
- Noble (1): What in the name of Joko could Balthazar need with my mustache comb?
- Noble (2): Well, I think he has a beard. Wait, what was it made of?
- Noble (1): Silver inlaid with gold. Why?
- Noble (2): The Forged seem to be taking metals of all kinds.
- Noble (2): They stole my early Palawan coin collection as well.
- Noble (1): The scoundrels!
- Elonian Royal: I miss my servant Aziz. He greeted me every morning with a big, tar-toothed grin.
- Elonian Royal: To think I’ll never see that smile again.
- Noble: Don’t be sad. Aziz died with honor, serving Palawa Joko.
- Elonian Royal: You’re right. I’m being selfish. I should be happy for Aziz.
- Elonian Royal: I’m afraid I may be coming down with something.
- Noble: I could make you a salve. I’ve been practicing.
- Elonian Royal: Is that what gave Diri those hives?
- Noble: Maybe. But once she started itching, she stopped complaining of her headache.
- Elonian Royal: Watching the judges decide the rulings is so exciting.
- Noble: Yes, it’s quite an unpredictable spectacle. I love the legal process.
- Elonian Royal: How can a man live without assistance from the dead?
- Elonian Royal: Palawa Joko preserve us! Let your eternal wisdom guide us!
- Elonian Royal: I've worn the same pants for nine days straight! Oh. I'm...not sure why I'm saying that out loud.
- Elonian Royal: By Joko, did I just see a flying cat?
- Elonian Royal: Praise Palawa Joko. It is not for us to question why he gives or takes
- Elonian Royal: If King Joko is testing us, it's a very thorough test.
- Elonian Royal: Surely more Awakened will be sent to us shortly. We can't be expected to live like this.
- Elonian Royal: I'd trade Grandfather's suit of armor for a fresh pot of coffee right now. Can't drink pauldrons.
- Elonian Royal: I thought soap was made from fat, but now my clothes are greasier than ever.
- Elonian Royal: I've formed a plan to defeat the Forged. I just need acorns. Lots and lots of acorns.
- Noble: I'm ashamed to admit what I ate last night.
- Noble: Preserve us, Palawa Joko. We know not what to do!
- Noble: I don’t know. The servants handled that, too!
- Noble: I think something's biting me in my sleep.
- Noble: I don’t like the look of the eastern skies.
- Noble: A seven course meal would really hit the spot right about now..
- Noble: These houseflies seem to be executing a coordinated attack on me.
- Noble: I'm not sure what I just stepped in, and I'm afraid to look.
- Noble: The floor feels... quite crunchy.
- Noble: If our Awakened ever return, I'll hug them until I'm covered in tar.
- Noble: Does anyone remember how to tie a tie? No? How about a shoe?
- Noble: If the Forged return, I may faint.
- Noble: Oh, dear. Another loose thread. Do I pull it?
- Noble: Dressing myself is so exhausting. If only there were another way...
- Noble: This morning I resorted to rubbing my own feet.
- Noble: How rude of Balthazar to leave us with so little.
- Noble: Has anyone seen my butterfly cuff links? Anyone?
- Noble: If we adopt the pests as pets, they will cease to be pests. Pest problem solved.
- Noble: Oh my, we're almost out of wine. Blessed Joko, what will become of us?
- Noble: I wish I knew how to mix a cocktail. This is all too real.
- Helping noble and royals around the palace
- Elonian Royal/Noble: Thank you.
- Elonian Royal/Noble: May Palawa Joko bless you.
- Elonian Royal/Noble: Many thanks.
- Elonian Royal/Noble: Thank you, and praise Joko.
- Near the Bounty Board
- Disguised Order of Shadows Agent: Reports of creatures driven insane by ley energy are coming from all over. Are you going to help?
- Disguised Order of Shadows Agent: Test your might against the Megalith!
- Disguised Order of Shadows Agent: New bounty up! Ley magic has made a Forged lurker extra dangerous.
- Disguised Order of Shadows Agent: The Forged warmonger has defeated every hunter who challenged it. If you go after him, be careful.
- Disguised Order of Shadows Agent: Self-absorbed, whining aristrocrat Lord Hanif has gone insane with ley magic.
- Disguised Order of Shadows Agent: New contract posted! Take it. It doesn't bite. The sand shark Kharkaris, on the other hand...
- Disguised Order of Shadows Agent: If you've got a grudge against Forged, you're welcome to our latest contract
- Near the adventure
- Overwhelmed Volunteer Steward: If you could assist us, we'd appreciate it.
