Hey, good-looking.

I could go for a good meal.
Damn, it's good to be alive.
Soldier.
I'd love to, thanks.
Making me sweat.
Wanna dance?

Don't be shy.
Don't burn yourself.

La-da-da-da...
Hey-ho.

Let's cook with fire, baby.
Now this is my happy place.
Hup hup!
On my word.
I got this.
Bye forever, pal.
I'm heating up!
GODS, it's HOT in here!
Put 'em up.
Hahahaha!
My turn.
I smell blood.
All right, Karlach, it's go time.
This is gonna feel good.
Ready for another round?
Let's GO!
Watch this.
Fuck yes!

Selection spam

Don't. Poke. The Karlach.
Who am I?
My eye!

Selection spam (in combat)

Eyes on the prize - we need to win this!
Not every soldier should've made it out of training.
Eyes on victory, tummy on dinner.
I ought to just burn this whole thing down.

Selection spam (sneaking)

My back can't take much more of this.
Not now, I'm being a sneak!
I'm getting too old for this nonsense.
I'm not built to crouch.

Moving

Hup to.
All right.
Marching.
Soldier?
On my way.
There we go.
What next?
Lalala.
Oh yeah.
Let's go!
Heyy.
Uh huh.
Phew!
Movin' it.
Where to?
Got it.
Let's ride.
Saddle up.
Honk honk.
Yeah-ha.
Me?
If you insist.
While I'm at it.
Toes, toes.

Moving (in combat)

Over there!
Heading out.
Find a route.
Moving.
Tactical.
Close ranks.
In position!
Jimmy on the go.
Covered.
Knees high.
I've got it.
Count on me.
No surrender.
Got it.
Under their noses.
Aye aye.
Soldier.
Incoming!

Moving (sneaking)

I'm too tall for this...
Halfling essence...
Long n' low.
Rat feet.
Sneak sneak.
Quiet.
Shadowlach
Shh...
I'm nothing!
Light as air
Turn down the fire.
Whisper mode.

Hiding

Stealth mode: activated.
Like a vandal.
Let's turn down the fire.
Shh...
Shadows don't suit me.
Time for a soft touch.
You can't see me.
Invisible me.
I feel like a rothé in a tea shop.
Steady...
I've got this.
Not used to lying low.

Hiding (in combat)

Get down!
They won't spot me now.
Quiet as silence.
Can't see me.
Don't look!
Oh yeah.
Slick.
Shht!
Here I go...
Invisible.
Born for this.
Boom! Here I go.

At low health

Need some oil over here!
Tune me up, quick!
Won't last much longer like this.
Soldier! I need your help!

Can't fit in a small hole

Yeah, maybe if I was half the size.
No chance.
Maybe if I were a halfling.

Can't fit in a tiny hole

That's for someone teeny-tiny, not biggy-biggy.
Not a chance I'd fit.
Maybe if I was a quarter of the size.

Can't use an item

No joy.
Nope.
C'mon...
Argh!

Can't use an item while in combat

Not now.
Not during a fight.
Other things on my mind, thanks.
Let's finish this fight first.

Finding a locked item

Nope. Maybe there's some other way to open it.
Locked out. Maybe I can get it open another way.
Let me look around. Might be something that'll help me crack this thing.
Gotta be something around here to unlock this thing.

Attempting to pick a lock

Can't I just break it?
To the left... and... to the...

Looking at a globe

Where should we go next?
What a world.
Round and round.
Let's see, where's Faerûn.
Big.

Looking at an astrolabe

Wouldn't mind knowing what else is out there.
No thanks, I'm happy where I'm at.
Makes me dizzy. Feet planted firmly on Faerûn, please.

Looking into a mirror

Hey, good lookin'.
Aw, me.
Check out those arms.
Hey, girl.
Cute.

Looking into a telescope

Big shiny eye.

Succeeded Perception roll (trap)

Easy - this place is hungry for blood.
This'll be fun.
A trap! Time to dance.
Hot foot, hot foot - place is trapped.

Succeeded Investigation roll

What's this?
Gotcha.
He-llo.
What's that now?
C'mere you.

Succeeded Investigation roll (trap)

Place is trapped.
Someone's rigged this place to the teeth.
Go lightly; I spot a trap.

Identified a mimic

Come out, come out, little mimic...

Surprised by mimic

Another mimic! Aw, look at all those teeth.
A mimic! Aww, baby!

After a Short Rest

Nice little nap.
Feeling fresh.
Ah, that put the wind back in my sails.
*Yawn!*

On character death

Player:

You're not dying. Not on my watch.

Player (Dark Urge):

Hang on - I won't allow this. You aren't dead, go it?

Lae'zel:

On your feet, soldier! That's an order!

Shadowheart:

C'mon, Fringe, back up with you!

Jaheira:

Fuck no. Not Jaheira.

On your feet, Minthara! Today's not your day.

"Makes a pleasant change from rivers of blood."
"Let's hope the locals are friendly."

Party Banter

Karlach and Astarion

Karlach: Hahaha. Ha!
Astarion: What's so funny? You haven't got some laughing curse, have you?
Karlach: I really made it out of Avernus. It's incredible.
Astarion: All right, just keep it down. We're conspicuous enough without your hyena call.

(At Grymforge)

Karlach: Ho. He-llo! Hey!
Astarion: So... are you greeting invisible beings or just losing your mind?
Karlach: The echoes - listen! They're coming from three directions!
Astarion: Losing your mind it is! Probably the tadpole - the weirdest things seems to be...

Karlach: Nice to be in a crowd of normal people for once.
Astarion: Really? I prefer my company extraordinary.
Karlach: Aww, thanks.
Astarion: Don't thank me, thank Gortash.
Karlach: Excuse you. I didn't need that prick to make me who I am.
Astarion: You're right, of course. Forgive me.
Karlach: All good, fangs.

(At Grey Harbour Docks)

Karlach: Can you swim, Astarion?
Astarion: I'm... not sure, honestly.
Astarion: It's been a couple of hundred years.
Karlach: You're missing out! Loved it as a kid. This water looks nasty as hell though.
Astarion: Well, it's not called 'Grey Harbor' for nothing.

(At Felogyr’s Fireworks)

Karlach: Oh man! WHIZBANGS!
Astarion: Keep calm, Karlach. One bad flare and you could blow this whole place.
Karlach: (Oh man! Whizbangs!)
Astarion: Better.

Karlach and Gale

Gale: Nothing like a brisk stroll through the forest to invigorate the spirits.
Karlach: I was just thinking the same thing but less poetically.
Gale: And without so much as a stirring from our tadpoles.
Karlach: A girl could get used to this.

(At Rethwin Tollhouse)

Karlach: Whoa! Almost slipped there.
Gale: You wouldn't be the first, I'd wager. It's been some time since these walkways felt the carpenter's hammer.
Karlach: You gonna catch me if I eat a brick?
Gale: With my reflexes? I'd catch you before you so much as stubbed a toe.
(At The Blushing Mermaid)

Karlach: Man, it's good to be home. First round on who?
Gale: She who thirsts buys drinks the first.
Karlach: You won't pin me down with a rhyme, wizard!
Gale: She who declines gets the worst of the wines.

Karlach and Shadowheart

Karlach: Ahh. Flowers, leaves, grass. Can't beat it.
Shadowheart: I was raised in the city - I'm more used to feeling cobblestones underfoot than grass and fallen leaves.
Karlach: Before I went to Avernus, I'd have agreed with you. Nothing quite like Baldur's Gate, is there?
Shadowheart: Nothing in my recollection, anyway...

(In Sunlit Wetlands)

- Karlach: Hey! Something bit me.
- Shadowheart: Just an insect - I'm sure you'll survive. Besides, it probably figured you for a tasty treat.
- Karlach: Give me an aboleth over a midge any day.

Karlach and Lae'zel

Karlach: Ahh, smell that? Fresh forest air.
Lae'zel: I smell only fear - the fear of cowards lying in wait for an ambush.
Karlach: You can take a day off once in a while, Lae'zel.
Lae'zel: I do not take days off. I'd even forego sleep, if such a thing were feasible. The one advantage an elf holds over a githyanki.

Karlach: Is this your first time on the Sword Coast, Lae'zel?
Lae'zel: Yes. It is much more... lively... then the githyanki slates led me to believe.
Karlach: Just wait till you see Baldur's Gate. You'll never want to leave.

(In the Underdark)

Karlach: Beautiful. Lethal. The Underdark is everything I thought it'd be.
Lae'zel: And I. This environ seems worthy of a githyanki warrior's estimation.
Karlach: Ah, to be deemed worthy by the great Lae'zel of Creche K'liir.
Lae'zel: Continue as you have, Karlach, and you will achieve the same.

(At Wyrm's Rock Fortress)

Karlach: You know, I've always kind of hated this place. Such ado about a damned bridge.
Lae'zel: It's just a bridge. Is it really worth all that ire?
Karlach: C'mon, isn't there something you hate for no good reason?
Lae'zel: Hm. I dislike owls. Their hyper-mobile necks are quite disconcerting.
Karlach: You know what, Lae? I couldn't agree more.

Karlach and Minsc

Karlach: Minsc, you come from an entire nation of berserkers. Give me some of those good Rashemaar pointers.
Minsc: Oh. There is much to be learned. Deep breaths. Meditative trances. Strange and stinking mushrooms.
Minsc: But Minsc could master none of this. Which made him sad. Which made him mad. Which made him the berserker you see before you.
Karlach: Huh. Really?
Minsc: And there is always Boo, with the needful nip when anger is slow in coming. This is not how you do it...?

(At Bhaal Temple)

Karlach: What a pesthole! Can't wait to clear this place out.
Minsc: There will be much trading of threats and insults, no doubt. But Minsc will be ready when it is time for boot to meet butt.
Karlach: You and me both, pal.
