Selection spam

I wonder how I'll feel when I remember everything.
Strange. I've had more freedom this past while than my whole life...
Have to keep focused. Can't afford to get attached - to anyone.
If I succeed, maybe I'll be allowed a pet... ugh, stop being silly.

I must keep going.
Onward, in Her name.
Onward, in Shar's name.
On I go.

No time to waste.

Hidden - for now.
Better to hide than fight, sometimes.

Not the bravest strategy, I'll admit.
Need to keep out of sight.
Come find me, if you dare...
No need to fight fair.
Mustn't be seen.

At low health

A little help, please?
I'm not going to last much longer...
Fading fast. I need healing.

Attacked by party member

Stop that!
Watch it, oaf!

Can't fit in a small hole

I don't think I'll fit through there...

Can't fit in a tiny hole

No chance I'll fit through that.

Can't use an item

Can't use this right now.
Maybe not the right time.
I'll have to try this later.
No use. Not right now, at least.

Can't use an item while in combat

Not the right moment.
Not exactly an opportune moment.
Can't use this right now.
Better finish the fight first.

Finding a locked item

Locked. Better take a look around.
Won't open. Perhaps there's something nearby that can help.
No use. There must be a way to get this open nearby...
Locked tight. Better look for the means to get this open.

Attempting to pick a lock

Let's see what my touch can do.

Looking at a globe

So many places. It'd take more than a lifetime to visit them all.

Looking at an astrolabe

So many worlds out there. You'd need a thousand lifetimes to see them all - more.

Looking into a mirror

Better stop gazing at myself before someone accuses me of vanity...
Not bad, all things considered.
I've looked worse. But I've definitely looked better.

Looking into a telescope

Useful for spying threats from afar, I suppose.

Succeeded Perception roll (trap)

A trap.
Best avoid that trap.
Looks like a trap there.

Succeeded Investigation roll

Hmm. What do we have here?
I wonder how long this went overlooked?
Something's here. Almost missed it.
What's this?
Hidden away - but not hidden well enough.

Succeeded Investigation roll (trap)

Looks like a trap. Best tread carefully.
A trap. Better give it a wide berth.
A trap. Better watch my step.

Identified a mimic

A shapeshifter, lying in wait. It won't get the drop on me.

Surprised by mimic

Bloody mimics. More fool me for taking things at face value.
Hells, you can't trust anything, can you?

After a Short Rest

I can keep going a little longer, now.
That helped.
A welcome rest.
Just a brief respite.

Upon reading Selûnite Prayer Book

Moonlight, guidance, tides... how fascinating. Consider me converted, Selûne

Thisobald Thorm

Upon starting combat with Thisobald Thorm

Damn thing's sozzled. Might make for an unpredictable fight.

When Burning Reflex is activated

Heated brew?

When Acid Reflux is activated

Watch it - the acid's altered his brew.

When Electric Reflux^{[Needs Verification]} is activated

Damn - the brew's acquired a spark!

Upon defeating Thisobold Thorm

He's done for. I'll drink to that.

Party Banter

Shadowheart and Astarion

Shadowheart: You know what I really miss about Baldur's Gate? The food. Freshest fish I've ever had.
Astarion: I don't care for fish. Red meat - now that's a different matter. Rare as can be... dripping.
Shadowheart: Well unless we find a cure you won't have any teeth to chew it with soon enough.

Shadowheart: Do you have someone waiting for you in Baldur's Gate, Astarion? A sweetheart perhaps?
Astarion: Not one in particular. The city is a veritable feast of sweethearts.
Shadowheart: You must be eager to get back then. Slimmer pickings out in this wilderness.

(In the temple of Shar)

Astarion: I do like it down here. It's nice. Homey.
(If Shadowheart's allegiance has been revealed)
- Shadowheart: This is a dedication to my goddess' power and dark beauty. Homey is not the first word that comes to mind.
(If Shadowheart's allegiance hasn't been revealed)
- Shadowheart: This temple is positively dripping with power and dark beauty - is homey truly the first word that springs to mind.

(In Reithwin Tollhouse)

Shadowheart: I have to ask, Astarion. Do people taste different from one another, when you feed?
Astarion: It all depends. A clean neck certainly helps.
Shadowheart: Come on, you know I'm talking about their blood.
Astarion: Of course, there are different vintages. Young noble is wonderful if you can get it, but crone has its charms too.

(In the House of Healing)

Astarion: It's a long time since I was in a house of healing. Gods, it's depressing.
Shadowheart: I suppose you don't have much use for hospitals... unless you're seeking to steal their blood stock.
Astarion: True, although I don't heal as fast as I used to. The one downside to the tadpole, I suppose.
Shadowheart: The one downside? I think you might have stopped the count too soon...

(At Cazador's Palace)

Shadowheart: So, Astarion. Vampire dens - what should I expect?
Astarion: Vampires would be a safe bet.
Shadowheart: Hilarious. You belong on stage - perhaps the bloodstained sort, with a hooded man standing by, axe in hand.
Astarion: So long as there's a cheering crowd. As for vampire dens, I'd brace your nose. They can be very... organic.

Shadowheart and Gale

Shadowheart: They were tenacious. I wonder what they wanted here - other than bloodshed.
Gale: A taste of goblins to come, I fear. There must be a horde nearby.

Shadowheart: Still no symptoms?
Gale: No signs of tentacles so far.
Shadowheart: The same... except for a knot of worry in my stomach that's in no rush to go away.
Gale: That I can relate to.

Shadowheart: What did you mean before, Gale? 'A woman with shadows for eyes', you said.
Gale: Merely that if the eyes are the mirror to the soul, yours have dark curtains across the mirror. No offense taken, I hope?
Shadowheart: Not necessarily. I haven't made my mind up about you yet.

(Referring to Gale's mention of Shadowheart during his recruitment scene.)

Shadowheart: You seemed quite forward with your compliments earlier. We'd only just met.
Gale: Seize the day, I say. More now than ever.
Shadowheart: Careful you don't pull a muscle in your haste.

(at Sorcerous Sundries)

Gale: My, my. Well I'll say this for the Bonecloaks - they know their mushrooms.
Shadowheart: Perhaps they should expand their horizons - too much time obsessing over fungi seems to leave a bit... well, like them.
Gale: A by-product of their profession. Few can spend a lifetime inhaling fungal spores without turning out a bit muddled between the ears.

(At the Blushing Mermaid)

Shadowheart: Not too downmarket of an establishment for you I hope, Gale?
Gale: Not at all. Why, some of the finest artists and musicians began their careers amidst stale beer and sticky floors.
Gale: There is poetry to be found in even the dingiest of holes.
Shadowheart: Remind me to not attend any poetry recitals with you.

Shadowheart and Karlach

Karlach: Since you're the only one in good form out here, I'll trust you to lead the way, Shadowheart.
(If Shadowheart remains devoted to Shar)
- Shadowheart: It's a deal, so long as you watch my back.
(Otherwise)
- Shadowheart: Actually... I've been stripped of that particular advantage. But I will forge ahead, nonetheless.
Karlach: Atta girl.

(In the Mason's Guild)

Shadowheart: I love a nice secret hideaway, don't you?
Karlach: I mean... I guess.
Shadowheart: You can just fill it with supplies, seal up the hidden entrance, and tuck yourself away from the world...
Karlach: Whatever you say, squirrelheart.

(Outside of the Elfsong Tavern)

Karlach: I wouldn't mind doing a little shopping in the city.
(If Shadowheart remains devoted to Shar)
- Shadowheart: Lady Shar teaches us to abhor superficialities like fashion... though the city does have some fine boutiques. After a new look?
(otherwise)
- Shadowheart: Same. I think I may have overdone it with the black and purple for, oh, my entire life? Your look serves you well though.
Karlach: I'm ten years behind; don't want the youths to think I'm not, you know, up with the times.

(In Bloomridge Park)

Karlach: Huh. There's something going on here. I don't like it.
Karlach: Careful. I smell an ambush.
Shadowheart: Are you sure it's not the flowers you're smelling? You may be allergic.
Shadowheart: But better safe than sorry, I suppose.

Shadowheart and Lae'zel

Shadowheart: So, gith. Aren't you worried your kind will punish you for consorting with us?
Lae'zel: My name is Lae'zel, k'chakhi.
Lae'zel: And my kin will understand my need for servants. They will help you, but only if I ask.

Shadowheart: Do you think your kin search for you, Lae'zel?
Lae'zel: I know they do not. It is my responsibility to cleanse myself.
Shadowheart: They pursued the nautiloid. Perhaps they were trying to free you.
Lae'zel: A vain notion. I am one of many and will not be a burden to my Queen.

Shadowheart: I'll be keeping an eye on you, understand?
Lae'zel: If I choose to kill you, you will not even see it.

Shadowheart: Lae'zel, how would you punish someone who wronged you?
Lae'zel: Wrong me how?
Shadowheart: Oh, say, murder. Or Theft.
Lae'zel: Killing is good - it culls the weak. But theft would be paid for painfully, a thousand times over.
Shadowheart: Hmm. Good to know.

Shadowheart: What if this créche doesn't work out, Lae'zel? What if your kin fail you?
Lae'zel: If I can reach the créche, my kin will provide - any failure will be mine alone.
Shadowheart: If you say so. Just don't expect me to put all my eggs in the same basket.
Gale: that expression must sound curious to a githyanki ear, given the way they're birthed.

(Entering Selûnite Outpost)

Shadowheart: Careful Lae'zel, it's dark around here. Would be a terrible shame to lose you forever.
Lae'zel: Yes, do keep your wits, Shadowheart. Should a dagger suddenly slice your neck, we may never know who's to blame.

Shadowheart and Wyll

Shadowheart: I saw you training those children. You were so gentle! That's... not how I was taught.
Wyll: Cruel words strengthen neither heads nor hearts, Shadowheart.
Shadowheart: I wouldn't quite say that - I learned the lesson, after all.
Wyll: And came to resent your tutor, I bet. I taught them to fight - not to hate.

Shadowheart: Have you wondered what people will say, Wyll? When they find out the monster hunter is becoming a monster.
Wyll: I've faced countless perils and conquered them all. This will be no different.
Shadowheart: I've always had a soft spot for the confident ones...
Shadowheart: They always dissapoint though.

Shadowheart: So Wyll, what was the Blade of Frontier's toughest kill?
Wyll: Ah - it was a great scrap. A hungry minotaur with hankering for human flesh.
Wyll: An axe-bearing mountain of fur, she was. Gave me a nasty scar.
Shadowheart: I hope you don't mind if I don't ask to see it.

Shadowheart: So. Wyll with a 'y' - why?
Wyll: 'Y', that's right.
Shadowheart: But why?
Wyll: Why 'y'? A great-uncle's name, my father said. But I just figured he couldn't spell.

(After visiting the Temple of Shar)

Wyll: What's your gripe with Selûne anyway, Shadowheart?
Shadowheart: She betrayed her sister and ruined the balance of things.
Shadowheart: Imagine turning on those who love you for you own glory...
