;At the south wall of [[Great Debate Hall]] in the [[Bastion of Balance]]
:'''Lyhr:''' ''Think to scare us with some rifts, feed on our fears? Won't find anybody scared here, eh!''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''We're gonna laugh in your spiny faces and spit on your shattered horns! Laugh with me, friends! (laugh)''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''[[Kryptis]] first, all! Anything flies outta that hole, send it back deader than it came in.''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''Lot less scary as corpses, aren't they? Now for that tentacle...''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''Not gonna go easy. All the more satisfying when the job's done, eh?''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''Use Balance Bringer! Smash the curse! Stop death in its tracks!''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''Ah, an uninvited guest. Looks hungry.''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''(spits) Let's give this repulsive bastard something to chew on, shall we?''
:'''Peitha:''' ''How vulgar. His anger is delicious, though.''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''The tentacle! Hack it to bits! Make stew out of this beast! We'll feed on them for once!''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''Watch the skies. Use your skyscale to wipe out anything above the ground.''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''That's it! Seal it up! Lock 'em out! Swallow the key!''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''Yes! Back to [[Nayos]] with you! Go curl up and die, beast!''
:'''Lyhr:''' ''It's done. We're done. For now. Settle down. Take a breath.''

:'''Lyhr:''' ''All is lost. (roars) Go down swinging! Take as many of the bastards with you as you can.'' '''(event failure)'''

;At [[Vass Memorial Medical Plaza]] in the [[Bastion of Balance]]
:'''Gol:''' ''Combat frenzy with serenity. They are the storming tide. We, the unmoving seawall.''
:'''Gol:''' ''Don't allow the tentacle to distract. Dedicate yourself to our task—subdue the Kryptis first.''
:'''Gol:''' ''I feel them probing my mind. I will not be goaded.''
:'''Gol:''' ''A death curse. Remain calm. Use Balance Bringer to dispel it.''
:'''Gol:''' ''The rift will not close with that tentacle obstructing it. Sometimes violence can't be helped.''
:'''Gol:''' ''We must kill, so do it swiftly.''
:'''Gol:''' ''A High Kryptis intervenes. Anchor your thoughts. Focus on its destruction. Determination, not hatred.''
:'''Gol:''' ''Again, we must forcibly remove this tentacle. Regrettable, but it was they who chose violence.''
:'''Gol:''' ''The [[Heart of the Obscure]]. Wield it. Seal them in Nayos.''
:'''Gol:''' ''Resisting the urge to hate these creatures... It is strenuous work. But we've earned a respite. However brief.''

:'''Gol:''' ''I will not succumb. I will not counter evil with evil. Even in death. I MUST NOT HATE!'' '''(event failure)'''

;At [[Creature Corral]] in the [[Bastion of the Natural]]
:'''Zizel:''' ''(gulp) I...I'm not ready. I'm not...''
:'''Zizel:''' ''That's...not good. Do I have enough concoctions? Myak, they're already spilling from the portal. We need to staunch the flow.''
:'''Zizel:''' ''Watch the tentacle! Watch it! If they get a hold of...of me...''
:'''Zizel:''' ''Throw my concoctions at them! Packed 'em down with sap from an [[Elona|Elonian]] [[w:Adenium obesum|obesum]]. Very toxic plant. Powerful punch.''
:'''Zizel:''' ''F-focus on the tentacle! It isn't harmless, but it won't knock you out in one swoop.''
:'''Zizel:''' ''Are we making any progress? That...that's a big one. Surely, we won't... We can't...''
:'''Zizel:''' ''It's shielding the tentacle! We stand no chance of stopping this until we kill that Kryptis!''
:'''Zizel:''' ''Meteors? Watch out!''
:'''Zizel:''' ''The...shield is down? The shield is down! Quickly now, strike it down before another erupts in its place!
:'''Zizel:''' ''Close it! Close it! CLOSE IT! You have the Heart—USE IT!''
:'''Zizel:''' ''(panting) My feet are on the ground. The likelihood of another supper with my comrades rises... You're okay, Zizel. You're okay.''

:'''Zizel:''' ''(deep breath) This is... this is it? Galrath, my friend— wherever you are, it was an honor.'' '''(event failure)'''

;In the courtyard to the west of the [[Cellar of Arcana]] in the [[Bastion of Knowledge]]
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''They come. R'tchikk feels fear. But without fear, there is no bravery. Thankfully skritt has strong friends.''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''So many Kryptis. And that tentacled creature... But the Kryptis must fall first. Avoid the tentacle, fight the demons!''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''Don't worry, [[Gladium (Astral Ward)|Glade]]. The [[Pact Commander|commander]] never loses. Hmm...mostly never.''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''The Kryptis are beaten. That could've gone worse, eh? Now for this tentacled beast. Attack!''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''See, Glade? Nothing to fear with strong friends by our side.''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''The beast's armor, it's much too strong. Use the ward breaker!''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''High Kryptis! R'tchikk spoke too soon. The fear returns.''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''There is no choice; that Kryptis guards the tentacled beast. It must be destroyed, fear or no!''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''The tentacle is vulnerable. Pummel the beast! Together!''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''The Heart of the Obscure. Close the rift! Now!''
:'''R'tchikk:''' ''Ha-ha! Just as skritt said, Glade! Strong friends always overcome strong enemies!''

:'''R'tchikk:''' ''Failure. We are beaten. R'tchikk was right to fear. What happens now? Glade? Commander?'' '''(event failure)'''

;At [[Spiritual Center]] in the [[Bastion of the Obscure]]
:'''Livia:''' ''Impeccable timing as ever, hero. More Kryptis. And they've brought a friend. Have I mentioned how much I dislike them?''
:'''Livia:''' ''It bears repeating: I dislike them a great deal.''
:'''Livia:''' ''Deal with the Kryptis first. We'll introduce ourselves to that tentacle in due time.''
:'''Livia:''' ''I do wonder, do these demons feed on disdain? Let's hope not.''
:'''Livia:''' ''Your arcane rifle ought to knock some sense into this stubborn creature. Or knock it senseless, I should say.''
:'''Livia:''' ''The Kryptis are clearing. Let's acquaint our weapons with that tentacle, shall we?''
:'''Livia:''' ''Just as we're getting to know this tentacle, a High Kryptis interrupts. How uncouth. Let's kill it.''
:'''Livia:''' ''Care to teach that avatar some manners, hero?''
:'''Peitha:''' ''Are you...friends with this human? She's irritating.''
:'''Livia:''' ''To a safe space, quickly!''
:'''Livia:''' ''The tentacle is vulnerable now. Let's bring the festivities to a close.''
:'''Livia:''' ''Can you close that rift? Then please do. Our guests have outstayed their welcome.''
:'''Livia:''' ''Mmm. We make beautiful death together, do we not? Shame we don't get to join forces more often.''

:'''Livia:''' ''I... I believed these demons too unsophisticated to best us. I was naive. We all were. It has cost us everything.'' '''(event failure)'''

;At [[Circle of Rituals]] in the [[Bastion of Strength]]
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''Always good to take action against the Kryptis.''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''The rift—stop those Kryptis first. See how they handle a quick punch in the mouth. Move.''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''Avoid the arm. Don't let them get a bead on you.''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''Use those grimoire spells. That armor is sure to break down...''
:'''Peitha:''' ''The armor, or their confidence... Which breaks first, I wonder.''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''Yes. Now to close that rift—take the beast's arm off.''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''Hm. High Kryptis. No time for this delay.''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''We want the arm, need to cut that one down first. Yesterday.''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''The eye! It's watching us. Look out for its beam!''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''Now hammer that arm! Don't give it a second chance.''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''Use the Heart. Slam the door. Losing isn't an option!''
:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''Fast work. Good instincts. You know what you're about.''

:'''Vanak Faithwalker:''' ''We're lost. Everyone. These creatures have no honor. They will consume... everything.'' '''(event failure)'''

;At [[Might's Brink Thicket]] in the [[Bastion of Strength]]
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''Incoming! Stick to Vanak's tactics. Neutralize the Ks{{sic|Kryptis}}. Strike the tentacle.''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''We've got this, squad! Give me a focused counterattack on those demons.''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''Evade the tentacles, but I need concentrated strikes on the Kryptis. Go! Go!''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''Neutralize the armor. I want grimoire spells on that target!''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''Well executed, squad. Put your attention on those tentacles next!''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''Stay alert. I'll get us through this.''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''Reinforcements! Can't expect your enemies to stick to your plan...''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''It's protecting the tentacle! New tactics, squad. I need your strikes on that avatar. Now!''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''Heads up, squad! Watch for beams from that eye!''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''It's weak! Make the tentacle your new target!''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''Seal the rift, squad! Get the Heart over there. Double-time!''
:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''Strong work, squad. Proud to fight alongside you.''

:'''Yasko Ironquill:''' ''I failed you, squad. This is on me. It's a heavy price, I'm afraid...'' '''(event failure)'''

;Above [[Museum of Curiosities: Hall of Giants]] in the [[Bastion of Knowledge]]
:'''Uenno:''' ''If we're going to survive this, you'll need to do exactly as I say.''
:'''Uenno:''' ''No questions. No mistakes. Just flawless execution. Of Kryptis.''
:'''Uenno:''' ''Concentrate on the demons. Don't waste time on that tentacle. Not yet.''
:'''Uenno:''' ''Understand? Avoid the tentacle. Remove the Kryptis from the equation.''
:'''Uenno:''' ''We must strip away its armor. You'll need the ward breaker!''
:'''Uenno:''' ''We've cleared a path. Tentacle next. Quickly. Efficiently.''
:'''Uenno:''' ''There's very little room for variables...''
:'''Uenno:''' ''Speaking of variables, that is a massive one... Change of plans! That avatar protects the tentacle.''
:'''Uenno:''' ''Neutralize the protection. Attack that demon. Immediately!''
:'''Uenno:''' ''Beware of those orbs. Take them out, quick as you can.''
:'''Uenno:''' ''There, it's vulnerable now. Concentrate on the tentacle. Give it everything we have.''
:'''Uenno:''' ''No hesitation—close the rift! Activate the Heart!''
:'''Uenno:''' ''Remarkable. Can't say I expected to survive that.''

:'''Uenno:''' ''It's done. We had no margin for error. The suffering will be unimaginable. Perhaps we're lucky we won't live to see it.'' '''(event failure)'''

;West of [[Bastionmere]] in the [[Bastion of the Natural]]
:'''Narcisse:''' ''G-goodness, I... We have to contain this.''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''All of you, we need to keep this wound under control. Attack the ones coming out of the portal first.''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''The tentacle's quick. Don't stray too close, I predict it's deadly.''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''Use those concoctions! I can... I can smell how potent they are.''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''Good. Progress! Now, focus on the tentacle. If we damage it little by little, we can get ahead of this.''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''Is it growing... stronger, perhaps? Oh, goodness, this isn't good.''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''Malignant. We need to destroy the core of this infection before we can make any progress. Focus on the beast; kill it.''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''Meteors! Keep an eye on... the Eye!''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''It's time. Focus all of your strength on the tentacle. Another will emerge if we're not swift.''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''Seal the rift, quickly now! Just as [[First Hunter Rian|Rian]] taught you, [[Wayfinder]]!''
:'''Narcisse:''' ''We did it. We did it. How are we feeling? Count your fingers; take a deep breath.''

:'''Narcisse:''' ''Oh, no... Okay, look at me. It's going to be okay. We're together.'' '''(event failure)'''

;At the [[Cartography Chamber]] in the [[Bastion of the Obscure]]
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''[[Spirits of the Wild|Spirits]]. Here we go. Damn Kryptis can't take a hint. We don't want you here. Get lost!''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''Demons and...what? A giant squid tentacle? What do we do?''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''Too many Kryptis. Knock their brains in. If they have brains. Don't worry about that...octopus...thing. Yet.''
:'''Peitha:''' ''If we have brains?''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''Your arcane rifle should have enough kick to stun it. Let 'em have it!''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''That's enough demons. Told you you should've stayed home! Now let's get that tentacle!''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''Looks like they're sending backup. One of the High Kryptis. (groans)''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''Gonna have to deal with it. Wayfinder, get out your gun!''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''Find a safe place. Hurry!''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''That's the way! Hit the tentacle now! Don't give the beast another chance!''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''Quick, use your rift-sealing thing. Now! Before more come through!''
:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''Woo! We're alive! Ha-ha! Back into the rift you crawled out of! Run home to Nayos!''

:'''Head Cartographer Pavish:''' ''Oh no. They're too much. Too strong. How did we let this happen? Spirits save us all...'' '''(event failure)'''

;At the [[Astronomic Nexus Ring]] in the [[Bastion of the Celestial]]
:'''Captain Emund:''' ''Kryptis. They want us dead. We kill them first. Then the tentacle. Nice and simple.''
:'''Captain Emund:''' ''They all deserve death. No complications.''
:'''Peitha:''' ''That is a gross oversimplification.''
:'''Captain Emund:''' ''Only one way to stop that curse—dash in there and hack at it!''
:'''Captain Emund:''' ''That's it for the Kryptis. Now let's hit that tentacle.''
:'''Captain Emund:''' ''Looks like we've got a guard dog here. Take it down so we can hurt the tentacle.''
:'''Captain Emund:''' ''Don't look there! Look away! Look away!''
:'''Captain Emund:''' ''Thinkin' we better hit that tentacle now. Hole's not gonna close with that thing in the way.''
:'''Captain Emund:''' ''You got any rift-closing tricks up your sleeve? Now's the time!''
:'''Captain Emund:''' ''Ah, the simplicity of it. Swing. Crunch. Swing. Crunch. No guilt. No gray area. Us or them.''

:'''Captain Emund:''' ''Guess I'm gonna die alongside you. To a damn tentacle.'' '''(event failure)'''

;At the [[Cosmic Theater Ring]] in the [[Bastion of the Celestial]]
:'''Frode:''' ''They've come to test our mettle. Let's make them regret it.''
:'''Frode:''' ''Get to work on those Kryptis. We'll worry about the tentacle once they're handled.''
:'''Frode:''' ''Stay out of its way. Take the demons out. We go from there.''
:'''Frode:''' ''Launch yourself in there and stop the curse!''
:'''Frode:''' ''Now for the tentacle. This'll probably draw some unwanted attention, so prepare yourself for...anything.''
:'''Frode:''' ''High Kryptis! We'll need to take care of that thing.''
:'''Frode:''' ''Doesn't always feel good to be right, you know?''
:'''Frode:''' ''Don't look over there! It'll only cause you pain!''
:'''Frode:''' ''That actually worked. Outstanding. Now where were we? The tentacle. Let's kill it.''
:'''Frode:''' ''Need to close that rift. This fight's lasted too long already. Seal it!''
:'''Frode:''' ''I can't lie, wasn't sure we were going to last much longer. But the job is done.''

:'''Frode:''' ''It's over. We can't fight forever. I'm tired. So tired. [[Arina]]...'' '''(event failure)'''
