Jaheira/Banter: Difference between revisions

* '''Jaheira''': You yearn for a better class of company, Astarion?

* '''Astarion''': Gods no - who'd want to spend time with anyone great or good?

<hr>

(In the Lower City)

* '''Astarion''': Cazazdor always warned us to stay clear of this neighbourhood. Never said why, though.

* '''Jaheira''': The last spawn who tried was sunk into the cobblestones and left for the sun to find. I had an unfortunate taste for theatrics, in my youth.

* '''Astarion''': Ah. Yes, that was probably it.

<hr>

(In the North Alleys)

* '''Jaheira''': Never mind the shining squares - I am more comfortable on streets such as this. A peek at the true face behind the mask.

* '''Jaheira''': I said a peek behind the city's mask, Astarion - not a look up its skirts.

* '''Astarion''': Jaheira! What do you think of me?

<hr>

(Ascendant Astarion)

* '''Jaheira''': You consumed all the spawn in your service, lord Astarion. You shall have to fend for yourself a while.

* '''Jaheira''': Nor did Cazador, it seems.

* '''Astarion''': Jaheira! ... You think I'm pretty?

<hr>

(Spawn Astarion)

* '''Jaheira''': I am glad it is your non-vampiric charms our friend has fallen for, Astarion. It is, isn't it?

* '''Jaheira''': A sad shrine kept by the lunatic and the lost. The last time I was here, I promised myself I would die beneath open sky. I have not changed my mind.

* '''Gale''': Nor should you. Far better to feel a cool breeze on your skin than whatever foul expirations blow through these halls.

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': So you wish to be a god, Gale? You know the wizard Irenicus attempted the same thing, by leeching divine blood from a Bhaalspawn.

* '''Gale''': Aha, transfusion! An interesting strategy. Hard to get hold of a god's blood, of course, but if one could...

* '''Jaheira''': Eh. Mostly the same children's rhyme, on a battered whistle of tin. I do not get a lot of time to practise.

* '''Jaheira''': Oh spare me the sad eyes, girl! Not every daily deed is worthy of song! Certainly none I can play.

<hr>

(In the Foundry)

* '''Karlach''': These Steel Watchers are big as hell.

* '''Jaheira''': All the more cracks and crevices for a wild-shape to ferret into - gum up the works a little.

* '''Karlach''': I'd give my other horn to watch that.

<hr>

(At the Water Queen's House)

* '''Karlach''': This place is so peaceful. Maybe I should convert.

* '''Jaheira''': I've done my share of praying to her, though not for the cause of peace. My faith was suddenly found on choppy seas.

* '''Karlach''': I don't know what that means.

<hr>

(If Karlach is romanced)

* '''Jaheira''': You've a love-struck look about you, Karlach. Just do not let it distract you from the task ahead.

* '''Jaheira''': A sweeter sight still, the world those ships might make if you plied them between the planes. Interplanar learning, trade...

* '''Lae'zel''': Trade? Why stoop to barter when you have the power to take what you need?

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': Lae'zel. My brief time on the Astral Plane left quite the impression. You must miss it dearly.

* '''Lae'zel''': I don't hail from the Astral, Jaheira. My glimpse was as brief as yours, before we were cast back to the Material.

* '''Jaheira''': So humbly spoken. Perhaps you are a different breed than the last Mother Superior.

* '''Shadowheart''': Time shall tell. At the very least, I can learn from her mistakes.

<hr>

(''If Shadowheart is no longer devoted to Shar'')

* '''Jaheira''': Shadowheart. You should know - Viconia was not half so heartless as she liked to appear.

* '''Shadowheart''': Perhaps she took some pride in her work, forming me to Shar's liking. She certainly relished wielding the rod..

* '''Shadowheart''': ... but who knows. Perhaps someone else made her that way, as she tried to do to me.

<hr>

(At [[Wyrm's Crossing]])

* '''Jaheira''': Wyrm's Crossing. This place has been a haven, when Harpers were less than welcome in the city proper.

* (''If Shadowheart is no longer devoted to Shar'')

** '''Shadowheart''': Hmph, sounds familiar.

<hr>

(At the [[Morphic Pool]])

* '''Jaheira''': And now another 'final' battle. This small band has gone further than any army could have in its place.

* '''Wyll''': And you think the Harpers are more dutiful?

* '''Jaheira''': I should hope so - they certainly don't get paid half so well.

<hr>

(At the Counting House)

* '''Wyll''': I was barely eight years of age when I heard the Counting House held mythical treasure.

* '''Jaheira''': A talking-to from the Grand Marshal himself. Quite the introduction to a life of crime - what did he say?

* '''Wyll''': Oh, he pretended to be cross. But there was no hiding the sly grin that crept on his face.

<hr>

(At the Guildhall)

* '''Wyll''': Odd - I'd expect a Flaming Fist or four to be stationed nearby.

* '''Wyll''': The Fist aren't what they used to be.

* '''Jaheira''': I grieve to tell you, Wyll, they never were.

<hr>

(In the Undercity Ruins)

* '''Wyll''': My first visit to the undercity. A haven for undead, or so my tutors said.

* '''Jaheira:''' Shadow people roaming shadow streets. There's little more to learn down here but some depressing ways to die.

<hr>

(If Wyll is romanced)

* '''Jaheira''': So, Wyll - you have your mind set on marriage.

* '''Halsin''': I think on them also. But nothing matches the splendour of an ancient tree.

* '''Jaheira''': It is so. And, should one favour bear-form, that tree in particular makes for excellent back-scratching...

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': Archdruid. You appear to gather a rather fanatic following wherever you go. A noble thing, to serve nature so tirelessly.

* '''Halsin''': I welcome all of nature's blessings, whether they come to me one at a time, or in multitudes. There is no shame in it.

* '''Jaheira''': And hamsters don't have hackles.

* '''Minsc''': Does Jaheira not set your heart at ease, Boo? It is comforting, to know that one so wise can be so wrong.

<hr>

(In Bloomridge Park)

* '''Minsc''': All of these statues - could they, too, be heroes all? Frozen in stone until the city has need of them?

* '''Minsc''': Well. Boo would also think you would have noticed when Minsc himself was frozen for over a century.

* '''Jaheira''': ... do you know, I had forgotten just how catty your hamster can be.

<hr>

(In The Blushing Mermaid)

* '''Minsc''': Jaheira, Minsc's memory of his last time in this taproom is a little... fuzzy. Did he...?

* '''Minsc''': Oh, praise the Three! Minsc was afraid he had shamed myself. I will, eh, leave a penny at the bar.

* '''Jaheira''': Best leave two. I cracked her with my own, afterward. She was drinking grog - Boo's backside could only have improved it.

<hr>

(Entering the Sewers)

* '''Minsc''': AH! The smell of adventure, in the very heart of the city!

* '''Jaheira''': The city's lower intestine, perhaps.

* '''Minsc''': Better yet! What swifter way to strike at evil's butt than to crawl through its innards?

<hr>

(In the Guildhall, before meeting [[Nine-Fingers Keene]])

* '''Jaheira''': If Nine-Fingers survived the fray, she will be right back to work in there. We ought to speak to her.
