Idle banter

Frode will occasionally chat with Gudrun:

Fist of Bane Gudrun: You were fortunate to work shifts on the prison transport, were you not, Dread Brother?

• Fist of Bane Frode: Indeed. The trip took my breath away.
  • Fist of Bane Gudrun: I've not had the pleasure of seeing the prison with my own eyes.
    • Fist of Bane Frode: Your time will come. Only Lord Gortash's most trusted may guard the Iron Throne.

Fist of Bane Gudrun: Dread Brother, is it true the transport hit and killed someone?

• Fist of Bane Frode: It was only a waveservant - a minor inconvenience.
  • Fist of Bane Gudrun: You do not fear they will retaliate?
    • Fist of Bane Frode: If they do, we will deal with them in a manner befitting the Black Hand.

Fist of Bane Frode: Something is on your mind, Dread Sister - speak.

• Fist of Bane Gudrun: The body of the dead waveservant. Has it been located?
  • Fist of Bane Frode: It is lost - why do you ask?
    • Fist of Bane Gudrun: If it is found, it could pose a risk to our operations.
      • Fist of Bane Frode: Such thoughts are above your station - focus on your tenets, Dread Sister.
