+'''Dealing with [[Yurgir]] and [[Lyrthindor]]:'''
+* ''(Looking at orthon’s corpse installations in the temple, knowing about his presence):'' “Well - seems the orthon kills with substance and style. How charming.”
+** ''(Not knowing about him):'' “Horrible slaughter made into a crude gallery.”
+* ''(Entering orthon’s lair):'' “Even a dragon's corpse doesn't spill this much blood. What happened here?”
+* ''(Felt orthon’s ambush, [[Perception]] check successful):'' “Hells - I feel like a mouse caught in a trap. All that's missing is the cheese.”

+* ''(Killed her, without Shadowheart in party):'' “By the gone gods, what have we done?”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Not her first death, or her last. Is there no end to her suffering?”

+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Shar must be thrilled. Congratulations.”
+* ''(Freed Nightsong with [[Shadowheart]] in party):'' “Well chosen - she's quite something, isn't she?”
+* ''(Freed, without Shadowheart in party):'' “The right choice - she's quite something, isn't she?”
+** ''(Responding remark to both options):'' “The Nightsong will tear Ketheric to shreds. I wouldn't miss it for the world.”
+* ''(Freed, with Shadowheart as an avatar):'' “Incredible. She'll make a powerful ally, all fury and light.”
