Party Banter
 | Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers. Read at your own risk. |
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 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.
Minthara and Gale 
(If Gale is romanced)
- Minthara: You've been smiling like a fool of late, wizard. Explain yourself.
- Gale: I've found love. Surely even you wouldn't begrudge me some happiness.
- Minthara: All I will say on the matter is that you were wise to lower your standards from the godly to the ghastly.
(If Minthara is romanced)
- Gale: I'm glad to know you have a softer side, Minthara. I was beginning to think you rather heartless.
- Minthara: Loving another is not soft, wizard. It is one of the hardest things a person can do.
- Gale: So you admit you've found love! How delightful - I'm happy for you both.

(In Rivington)
- Gale: Pigeons, gulls, sparrows - these streets make a fine hunting ground for a tressym like Tara.
- Minthara: In the Underdark, we have packs of winged hounds to deal with vermin like your precious Tara.
- Gale: Flying hounds? Come now - you're pulling my leg, aren't you?
- Minthara: Yes I am. It is the bats that would make a meal of her.
(If Gale is romanced)
- Minthara: Do you have elder siblings, wizard?
- Gale: You're about to say something awful, aren't you?
- Minthara: In Menzoberranzan, after a house has two sons, every subsequent male-born child is slaughtered at birth, as it is useless, even for breeding.
- Minthara: You have the aura of a third child about you.
(If Minthara is romanced)
- Gale: I found an empty bottle of venom in camp, Minthara. Safe to assume it was yours?
- Minthara: Indeed. I have been dosing my partner while they sleep by my side.
- Minthara: They refuse to take it in their food, but I must build up their immunity in case we ever visit Menzoberranzan together.
- Gale: Let's never speak of this again.
Minthara and Karlach 
(If Minthara is romanced)
- Karlach: Hey, so, what's romance like in the Underdark, Minthara?
- Minthara: In Menzoberranzan, romance is commonly a luxury enjoyed between women. Men are mostly present for propagation.
- Minthara: Here on the surface, gender does not define one's role so strictly. There are weaklings of every sort.
(If Minthara is romanced)
- Karlach: It's funny seeing you so smitten, Minthara. Didn't think you were able.
- Minthara: I took my first lover before you were a spark in your father's eye, child.
- Karlach: Go on.
- Minthara: She was a high priestess of House Vandree. Beautiful, elegant, ruthless.
- Minthara: I adored her, and had been sharing her bed for some time when the order came that she must die.
- Minthara: I stayed with her while the poison did its work, and whispered words of comfort as she slipped away.
- Karlach: Oh no.
Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.
(In the Abandoned Cistern)
- Minthara: This place is foul. Drow would not tolerate rivers of waste flowing so close to their residences.
- Karlach: You've got slaves to manage your sanitation. Baldur's Gate doesn't. Though we do rely quite heavily on kobolds.
- Minthara: But surely the kobolds are slaves?
- Karlach: Hell no.
- Minthara: Straj. Yet one more reason to despair for the fate of this city.
(If Karlach is romanced)
- Minthara: You allowed that smith to meddle with your heart, Karlach, simply so you can be touched?
- Minthara: Better to shut off the carnal desires than indulge them. They are distractions.
- Karlach: Yes, because every function comes with a handy switch.
- Karlach: Next time I'm injured, don't heal, just turn me off and on again.
(If Karlach is romanced)
- Minthara: Have you ever been afraid, Karlach? Truly afraid?
- Karlach: You know how much time I spent in the hells, right? Of course I've been scared!
- Karlach: I kept on going though. Knew there'd be better days on the other side - and here they are.
Minthara and Lae'zel

Minthara and Shadowheart 
(In Rivington)
- Minthara: The excess of refugees outside the city walls could easily become a surplus of laborers.
- Shadowheart: Careful, Minthara. As a drow exile, you could be classed as a refugee yourself. Not volunteering, I take it?
- Minthara: I am a daughter of House Baenre. I obey no authority except my own desire.
- Shadowheart: I can think of at least one wriggly stowaway that might dispute that...
