Ogre Hunter: When do we train with our pets?

Veteran Yandra Stonetusk: When you’ve shown you’re capable of fighting on your own.

Veteran Yandra Stonetusk: Do another round!

Ogre Hunter (1): The humans say there are dwarven ruins in the mountains.

Ogre Hunter (2): And that fierce beasts live in the mines there.

Ogre Hunter (1): How fierce?

Ogre Hunter (2): Limb-ripping fierce. They say the mines are filled with death.

Ogre Hunter (1): We should go there.

Ogre Hunter (2): Yes. It would be a good hunt. And I could find a new pet.

Veteran Chief Mognoll: Join our kraal. You and your pet are strong. We'd welcome you.

Grag: I'm honored, Chief, but I'm going to retake my kraal.

Veteran Chief Mognoll: It's been years. The Brand is too strong. We can't cleanse it.

Grag:' Years I've spent getting stronger. I'll make it into a new kraal. My own.

Veteran Chief Mognoll:' If you say so. But you're always welcome here.

Irukka: You look like you can fight. Come and help us!

Near the Bounty Board: Order of Shadows Agent: Reports of creatures driven insane by ley energy are coming from all over. Are you going to help?

Order of Shadows Agent: There's a furious ball of pure ley energy terrorizing travelers. Are you going to allow that?

Order of Shadows Agent: Chieftain Krella was nice before the Brand got her. Now she's attacking people.

Order of Shadows Agent: Rock Gazelles are dangerous when infected with ley energy. I think you'll enjoy this contract.

Order of Shadows Agent: Sandsnare the sand eel likes to ambush travelers. Give him a bite of his own medicine.

Order of Shadows Agent: New bounty up! Balthazar's Lost is proof that ley magic can affect even ghosts.

Order of Shadows Agent: I hope you're in a fighting mood, because the Branded Forgotten Wissper Inssani is a true horror.

East of the Highjump Gap: Bahir: Are you heading to the springer camp too?; Bahir: I'm trying to get over there myself, but I don't think my raptor can make it.; Bahir: You really have to master raptor riding before you can make a jump like that.

An Ogre Hunter chasing a Lost Springer through the western part of the area: Ogre Hunter: Hello, little springer. I'd like you to be my pet.; Ogre Hunter: I will give you lots of hugs and carrots if you'll be my pet. Please.; Ogre Hunter: Stop being so stubborn! You're my pet now.; Ogre Hunter: I'll name you...Big Ears. No! Jumper.; Ogre Hunter: Why doesn't my flute work on you? I'll find a way to tame you. We'll be best friends.

Two Ogre Hunters standing next to a tree in the western part of the area, southeast of the Highjump Gap: Ogre Hunter (3): I need a new pet. Something powerful.; Ogre Hunter (4): You should train one of those strange mountain creatures.; Ogre Hunter (3): The ones that hop? They aren't hunters. More like prey.; Ogre Hunter (4): You mock them, but legs that jump far can also kick hard.; Ogre Hunter (3): You train one, then. I'll find something better.; Ogre Hunter (4): Perhaps I'll train one and name it "I Told You So."; Ogre Hunter (3): Well, I will train a sand shark, and I will name it "Your Hopper Is Food."

Two ogre Builders standing next to a tree on the hill east of Lommuld Kraal: Builder (1): We must talk to the chief about the barricades.; Builder (2): Why? What's wrong with them?; Builder (1): They're made of wood. Strong, but not strong enough.; Builder (1): The Branded destroy the barricades faster than trees grow. Supply is short.; Builder (2): Maybe we can trade with the southerners?; Builder (1): They live in the desert. Where would they get trees?; Builder (2): Maybe we should use rocks? We have lots of rocks.
