* ''(After defeating gith hunters, Lae’zel spurned Vlaakith):'' “Seems Voss was right - the psionic detector worked a treat.”
* ''(After defeating gith hunters, Lae’zel spurned Vlaakith):'' “Seems Voss was right - the psionic detector worked a treat.”
** ''(Defeated gith hunters, Lae’zel rejected Voss):'' “Githyanki hunters - was that what the gith trinket was warning us about?”

====[[Gauntlet of Shar]]====
'''Approaching [[Thorm Mausoleum]]:'''
* ''(Looking at old graves near the mausoleum, [[Religion]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “Hasty graves for Selûne's dead. I wonder what the rush was.”
** ''(Failed):'' “Rushed, sloppy graves. You almost feel sorry for the corpses.”
** ''(Knowing the story of the conflict):'' “Makeshift graves for Selûne's dead, killed by Shar's forces.”
* ''(Upon approaching the entrance):'' “Mysterious sigils. I hope they don't mean something important.”
* ''(Found [[Dark Justiciar]] corpses near temple, knows the story):'' “Ketheric's Dark Justiciars. They just got everywhere, didn't they?”
** ''(Not knowing the story):'' “A pile of old, dusty corpses. Lovely.”
'''Inside the Mausoleum:'''
* ''(Heard [[Balthazar|Balthazar’s]] warning from the skull):'' “Ketheric's pet necromancer, Balthazaar. I wonder if he's as powerful as he is ugly.”
** ''(Responding remark 1, 2):'' “Wouldn't want to be caught unawares down here.”
* ''(Saw Balthazar’s bone decorations):'' “Bodies, bodies, everywhere. Yet not a drop to drink.”
* ''(Found [[Myrkul|Myrkul's]] symbol drawn by Balthazar, [[Religion]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “There's no mistaking that - it's Myrkul's mark.”
** ''(Failed):'' “Interesting sigil. Not that I know or care who it belongs to.”
* ''(Found Balthazar’s map):'' “So, there's a whole temple down there. With something lurking inside.”
'''Near [[Isobel|Isobel's]] sarcophagus:'''
* ''(Found the tomb open, before reading the plaque):'' “An open, empty tomb - seems someone went for a stroll.”
* ''(Haven’t met Isobel yet):'' “Isobel? Ketheric's daughter, no doubt. Let's hope the apple fell far from the twisted, cursed tree.”
* ''(Met Isobel, does not know her parentage):'' “Isobel? As in 'the cleric from Last Light' Isobel?”
** ''(Responding remark):'' “If she's Isobel Thorm - Ketheric is her father? Is that even possible?”
** ''(Knowing both):'' “So this is where Isobel was resting before Daddy Ketheric brought her back.”
* ''(Triggered a disarmed trap around Isobel’s tomb):'' “Shi- oh. Nothing? Either the trap's broken or someone's already disarmed it.”
* ''(Looking at the mural depicting Moonrise Tower, haven’t visited it):'' “Not bad. A little gaudy for my taste, but not bad.”
** ''(Already been to Moonrise):'' “Moonrise Towers, back before all... that.”
* ''(Looking at the mural depicting grieving Ketheric, haven’t met him):'' “A big painting of a sad elf. Heart-breaking, truly.”
** ''(Has met Ketheric):'' “Ketheric Thorm, mourning his daughter. Who knew he had it in him?”
* ''(Looking at the mural depicting Ketheric with his army, not knowing the story):'' “Now that's what I like to see - an elf at the head of an army. Even a Sharran one.”
* ''(Knows the story):'' “The mighty general - Ketheric at the head of an army of Shar worshippers.”
'''At the entrance to the temple itself:'''
* ''(Spotted the transporting disc to the temple):'' “That disc looks like it could take us somewhere. But where?”
** ''(Responding remark):'' “But where will it take us?”
* ''(First time entering the temple, [[Religion]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “Dedicated to the goddess Shar. Which probably isn't good news.”
** ''(Failed):'' “Well. This looks cosy...”
* (Heard the statue talking): “The voice of Shar herself. Well I'll be damned.”
** (Heard Shar speaking again, elsewhere in the temple): “That voice, it's - Shar? It can't be...”
* (Trying to open a magically-sealed door): “A magic lock - no amount of picking will pop that.”
* (Pushed off by force field around the statue): “What in the wretched hells was that?”
** (Saw any of the glowing rings around the statue): “Gods, not again. I can't get near that gem if I can't see the ring.”
** (Pushed off by force field of the outer ring): “Well that didn't work. There must be a way around it...”
** (Pushed off by force field of the inner ring): “I almost had it! I just need to watch my step...”
'''Elsewhere in the inner temple:'''
* ''(Spotted a [[Cloaker]]):'' “What in the Hells - a cloaker!”
* ''(Found shattered [[Mirror of Loss]], Arcana check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “There was magic in this glass, once. Dark, hungry magic...”
** ''(Failed):'' “A fine looking glass, once. Not that I'd have had much use for it.”
* ''(Killed Balthazar):'' “Well, he's dead. Let's hope he stays that way.”
'''Dealing with [[Yurgir]] and [[Lyrthindor]]:'''
* ''(Looking at orthon’s corpse installations in the temple, knowing about his presence):'' “Look at that - this orthon's not just a killer, but an artist!”
** ''(Not knowing about him):'' “Well well - someone's an artist.”
* ''(Entering orthon’s lair):'' “Oh, well this is... a lot. What a lot of blood...”
* ''(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.”
* ''(Not knowing Raphael’s demand):'' “Odd to see a hellsbeast here. Still, at least it's dead.”
* ''(An infernal circle near the rat altar, Arcana check successful):'' “What odd markings. Ritualistic, perhaps.”
** ''(Failed):'' “An infernal ritual circle... Someone's been very naughty.”
* ''(Found a [[One Becomes Many|scroll]]):'' “A spell to divide one into many... Gosh, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.”
* ''(Fighting rats, between waves):'' “Tenacious little runts. They can't keep throwing themselves at me forever... I hope.”
'''Passing [[Gauntlet_of_Shar#Trials_of_Shar|Trials of Shar]]:'''
* ''(Started [[Gauntlet_of_Shar#Soft-Step_Trial|Soft-Step Trial]] and read the hint book in [[Silent Library]]):'' “Now, to get through the maze without being seen or setting off any traps. Easy.”
** ''(Spotted by a [[Shadow]] during the trial):'' “Well. This looks familiar.”
** ''(Don’t have a hint from the book):'' “What now? Why can't I just kill my way through this?”
* ''(Starting [[Gauntlet_of_Shar#Self-Same_Trial|Self-Same Trial]], read the hint book):'' “Well, I'm here. At least one of me is...”
** ''(Don’t have a hint from the book):'' “Well, I'm here. What happens now?”
* ''(Starting [[Gauntlet_of_Shar#Faith-Leap_Trial|Faith-Leap Trial]], read the hint book):'' “Ah, just like the book. I simply have to get across, remembering where the platforms are.”
** ''(Don’t have a hint from the book):'' “Ah, a puzzle. If only I knew the solution.”
* ''(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.”
** ''(Knowing its purpose):'' “Another of the altar's gems. I wonder how much they're worth...”
* ''(In Silent Library, pressed the correct button):'' “And it's easy as that.”
* ''(Picked up the [[Spear of Night]], not knowing its purpose):'' “Oh, this is beautiful. A fine weapon.”
** ''(Knowing its purpose):'' “A beautiful spear. I wonder if it's the same one Shadowheart needed.”
** ''(Using the second transporting disc, knowing about Trials):'' “The disc's on the move, hopefully leading to the end of this bloody Gauntlet.”

'''At the Verge of Shadows and in the [[Shadowfell]]:'''
* ''(Read a plaque before entering Nightsong’s prison, read Balthazar's diary):'' “The blood of Selûne? What about this 'Nightsong' person?”
** ''(Not knowing the story):'' “The blood of Selûne? I'd rather sample it than spill it, but needs must.”
* ''(Upon entering the Shadowfell):'' “I feel as though a light breeze would float me away - how quaint.”
* ''(Leaving the Shadowfell, Shadowheart disappeared):'' “There you are! I was very close to worrying about you, Shadowheart.”
'''Resolving [[Nightsong|Nightsong’s]] fate:'''
* ''(Saw [[Aylin]] trapped):'' “Gods, what a hellish thing to be trapped in.”
** ''(Responding remark):'' “Ketheric has form when it comes to cruelty, I'll give him that.”
* ''(Killed Nightsong with [[Shadowheart]] in party or as an avatar):'' “Do you feel better now, Shadowheart? A little less tense?”
** ''(Responding remark (in party)):'' “At least Shar will be happy. Or whatever passes for 'happy' with her.”
** ''(Responding remark to avatar):'' “At least you've made Shar happy. Or whatever passes for 'happy' with her.”
* ''(Killed, Shadowheart is not in party):'' “She's definitely immortal - no question about that.”
** ''(Responding remark):'' “Should... should we kill her again?”
* ''(Freed Nightsong, Shadowheart is in party):'' “I'm glad you let her go - she seems like a powerful ally.”
* ''(Freed Nightsong, Shadowheart is not in party/is an avatar):'' “She does seem like a powerful ally. I just hope she's powerful enough.”
** ''(Responding remark to any of three options):'' “With her free, Ketheric is exposed. We only have to strike.”
* ''(Surrendered Nightsong to Balthazar (any of three options)):'' “Well, she's Ketheric's now. Her fate's in his hands.”

====[[Mind Flayer Colony]]====
* ''(Entering the colony, investigating):'' “Ah, here we are. The infection at the heart of Moonrise.”
** ''(Respond to [[Jaheira|Jaheira’s]] recalling previous experience):'' “I think we have more pressing concerns than a trip down memory lane.”
* ''(Looking at neutral [[Intellect Devourer]]s):'' “The little brains aren't attacking. They must think we're all on the same side.”
* ''(Approaching [[Mizora|Mizora’s]] pod):'' “Tadpoling a cambion... Better the devil you know, I suppose.”
* ''(Found brine pool, [[Perception]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “Empty of tadpoles... I wonder where the little wrigglers went?”
* ''(Failed):'' “An illithid brine pool - but no tadpoles. Curious.”
* ''(Caught the last tadpole):'' “As tadpoles go, this is quite the specimen.”
<!--* (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?”
* (When lying on the bed near the regeneration pod being used): “Ow! That... took something. And it hurt.”-->
'''In the [[Necrotic Laboratory]] and [[Mind_Flayer_Colony#Morgue|Morgue]]:'''
* ''(At the Necrotic Laboratory, near ritual circle, [[Arcana]] check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “Good old-fashioned necromancy - draining people of life until they're just undead husks.”
** ''(Failed):'' “I don't know what's happening there, but I'm glad it's not happening to me.”
* ''(Solved the [[Necrotic_Laboratory#Brain_Puzzle|mind puzzle]]):'' “This better be worth it - I can't stand puzzles.”
* ''(Reading illithid manuscripts, Arcana check):''
** ''(Successful):'' “Mind flayer script, but I can read it perfectly. Another benefit from the lodger in my skull, I suppose.”
** ''(Failed):'' “I've never seen these symbols before. So how in the hells can I understand them?”
* ''(Found [[Mol|Mol’s]] eyepatch, met her):'' “Mol's eyepatch. I doubt that's a good sign.”
** ''(Never met her):'' “An eyepatch? I swear, if there are pirates here too...”
* ''(Feeling the effect of the [[Resonance Stone]]):'' “How strange, I feel... marvellous!”
** ''(The effect ended):'' “Ah, the marvellousness fades. Nothing ever lasts, I suppose.”
* ''(Entering the colony’s [[Mind_Flayer_Colony#Morgue|Morgue]]):'' “Oh, this is wretched. I've never smelled such rotten blood.”
* ''(Saw a blood pool in the Morgue):'' “That's a little too much blood, even for me.”
** ''(If the party has already been to the [[Oubliette]]):'' “Ah, this again. It's even worse up close.”
* ''(Splattered with blood from a morgue chute):'' “Delightful! I prefer it fresh, but still - beggars, choosers, all that.”
** ''(Looking at the corpse that fell out with blood from the chute):'' “So this is where Moonrise dumps its waste.”
'''Final fight with Ketheric Thorm:'''
* ''(Before descending to Ketheric, saw nautiloid fleet):'' “To enthral so many that you need a nautiloid fleet... My word.”

* ''(Taking the elevator down to Ketheric):'' “Hells, I can feel the worm squirming - like it wants to burrow through my skull.”
** ''(Responding remark):'' “Mine too - it senses something down there. Something big.”
* ''(Started a final fight with Ketheric, [[Nightsong]] captured again):'' “This is pointless! Ketheric's invincible so long as Nightsong's rotting in his cage.”
* ''(Killed Ketheric Thorm):'' “The transformation Ketheric underwent was... horrifying. So powerful, but so grotesque.”
** ''(Responding remark):'' “There was barely anything of the man left, even before we finished him.”
* ''(Took Ketheric’s [[Netherstone]] after killing him as [[Apostle of Myrkul]]):'' “It's not every day you get to kill the Chosen of a god.”
