Minthara/Banter

A collection of Minthara's remarks and overhead conversations with other characters.

Remarks

At low health:

• Straj. A grievous wound.
• This is not how I die.
• I cannot take much more of this.

Attacked by party member:

• Cross me again, and I will end you.

Can't fit in a small hole:

• I would gladly force somebody else through there, but I don't fit.

Can't fit in a tiny hole:

• Do you jest? An ooze could barely squeeze through there.

Can't use an item:

• Not now.

Can't use an item while in combat:

• Do not distract me from the fight.
• Not 'til our enemies are vanquished.
• My focus is on the fight.
• Slaughtering our enemies takes priority.

Finding a locked item:

• Locked tight. There must be a way to open it nearby.
• No way to open it from here.
• It won't budge. Need to look elsewhere.
• I need to find a way to unlock it.

Looking at a globe:

• A poor globe indeed that only shows the world's surface. It requires layers.

Looking at an astrolabe:

• I read a story once of great fleets doing battle between the stars. I wish it were true.

Looking into a mirror:

• I am exquisite, as always.
• Not a hair out of place.
• Tsk. The sun is having an ill effect on my complexion.

Looking into a telescope:

• Perhaps one day, we will learn to conquer the stars.

Surprised by mimic:

• Down, Mimic. Heel! Straj - why do they not obey me?
• I have a way with mimics. Hold, creature! Hold! Why does it not listen?

Party Banter

Minthara and Astarion

• Minthara: Half the men of Menzoberranzan are pleasure-servants. Weaklings, whose beauty is their only redeeming quality.
• Minthara: You would fit right in with them, Astarion.
• Astarion: You think I'm beautiful? Oh, Minthara.
• Minthara: Hrmmph.

---

• Astarion: So how does Lolth feel about romance? Are you expected to bite your mate's head off afterwards?
• Minthara: Be grateful I no longer follow the Spider Queen's teachings. If I did, you would be the first to fall into my web.
• Astarion: I can't tell if you're joking. She is joking, right?

---

(In the Shadow-Cursed Lands)

• Minthara: The shadows have lingered here so long, the land itself is corroded. A most persistent curse.
• Astarion: I think I know a thing or two about persistent curses, thank you.
• Minthara: The rashes and sores you may have contracted over your decades of philandering are not the kind of curse that concerns me.

---

(At the Thorm Mausoleum)

• Astarion: Ah, no shadow curse, plenty of funerary decor - I almost feel at home.
• Minthara: Stop gawking at the decor, spawn. This place is dangerous.
• Astarion: Yes, as I said - just like home.

---

(Watching Last Light Inn fallen into Shadow)

• Minthara: Devoured by the darkness. They should have retreated while they had the chance.
• Astarion: And yet here we stand. We're either very clever or very lucky.
• Minthara: You do not need luck to survive, Astarion. Not when you have me.

---

(After the Fall of Ketheric)

• Minthara: Did you expect to survive Myrkul's wrath, little spawn?
• Astarion: You'd be surprised, drow. I've survived a lot of things.
• Minthara: Greater horrors await us in Baldur's Gate. Best sharpen your fangs.

Act Three

Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

• Minthara: Are you a better man now that you are loved, Astarion? Did they mend your ways?
• Astarion: I rather think they did. Can't imagine anyone wanting to do that for you, though dear.

---

• Minthara: Would you ever consider sharing the gift of immortality with me, Astarion?
• Astarion: I think not. That is for me and my darling to share.
• Minthara: If they have prevented your eyes and fangs from wandering to other necks, it must be a special bond indeed.

---

• Astarion: So, what's it like caring for someone other than yourself, Minthara?
• Minthara: You have never tried it, I assume.
• Astarion: Gods no. It sounds like a lot of work.
• Minthara: It takes less work than you devote to maintaining your foppish facade. And it's far more rewarding.

---

(At the Bonecloaks)

• Astarion: No, this place feels all too 'Underdark'y for me.
• Minthara: You are speaking of my home, spawn. It is pleasant to be reminded of it.
• Astarion: Oh dear - you're not going to come over all pleasant and homely, are you?
• Minthara: To you? Doubtful.

---

(In Wyrm's Rock)

• Astarion: So many dark nooks and crannies - this fortress is a lurker's paradise.
• Minthara: Would you not prefer basking in the sun like a lizard now that it no longer blisters your pretty skin?
• Astarion: Old habits die hard, darling. Surely you know that.

---

(In Cazador's Palace)

• Minthara: Ominous, yet austere. This place has its charms.
• Astarion: We're both learning a lot. Cazador kept this place all to himself.
• Minthara: I do not blame him. It is not the sort of place servants or spawn should sully with their presence.

---

(At the Morphic Pool)

• Astarion: We're getting close. I do believe fate is shuffling the cards for the final deal.
• Minthara: Let the cards fall. We have a strong hand to play.
• Astarion: And speaking personally, I intend to cheat.
