* ''(Felt orthon’s ambush, [[Perception]] check successful):'' “I have a terribly familiar feeling. We're being watched...” | |||
* ''(Looking at orthon’s bed):'' “Points for style, but certainly not for comfort.” | |||
* ''(Killed orthon, knows [[Raphael|Raphael’s]] demand):'' “There, it's dead. Now Raphael had better deliver on his promise.” | |||

* ''(Trying to activate the altar, not having a single [[Umbral Gem]] in inventory):'' “ Alas, I've nothing to fill it with.” | |||
* ''(Spotted a first Umbral Gem, not knowing its purpose):'' “Well that's a pretty rock. Presumably it does something more than sparkle, though.” | |||
** ''(Knowing its purpose):'' “Is that a gem for the altar? Or just a pretty rock?” | |||
* ''(Found another Gem, not knowing its purpose):'' “Another gem. They must be good for something, surely.” | |||

<!--* (Trying to use Regeneration pod, never used it before ? check failed): “It needs to be powered. However you do that...” | |||
* (Trying to use Regeneration pod, never used it before ? check successful): “Looks like it pulls power from whoever's in the cradle. Now we just need a victim - eh - volunteer.” | |||
* (Trying to use Regeneration pod, used it before): “It pulls life from one and gives it to another. How relatable.” | |||
* (Regeneration pod being used on non-living creature): “Nothing. Is there a problem with the power source?” | |||
