Dialogue

Before dueling

I don't recognize you. How long has it been since you felt the call to nightmare?

Unlike some less fortunate, the nightmare is all I've ever known.

Such pride. Too much for my liking. Maybe a test of combat is in order. I could carve a little of that pride away.

I'm game.

Good. Time for you to earn that pride.

We'll see.

I don't have time to deal with your suspicions.

Ventari's teachings have blinded the others to the reality of the nightmare. We must initiate them into the agonies of truth.

Let's begin by testing each other.

An excellent plan. Let our blood expose the truth.

Let's begin.

Good-bye.

You reek of the pale tree[sic]. Are you new to this life, or are you scouting the grove[sic]?

My presence there was in the service to the nightmare.

Were you able to locate any newly awakened that could be turned to our cause?

Those born free of the nightmare are stout of heart.

Then you are a failure and must be taught a lesson. All true hearts weep for the suffering of others.

Let the lesson begin.

I've nothing to say to you.

This group of villagers is terrified of their own anger. Don't they realize that anger is the key to fulfillment?

Hatred is the only path worth taking.

We must show them what it is to live. Would you care to help me demonstrate the value of pain?

Gladly.

Through our blood, they will learn about nightmare. Their path is clear.

May your agony usher in their first step.

I don't have time for this.

Good-bye.

The Dream is a lie. It whispers sweetness to the youth and blinds them to the truth upon awakening.

We will teach them together.

So be it. Let it be a lesson in cruelty.

As it should be.

I must leave you to your musing.

What do you want, weakling?

You have two choices. Apologize or be proven wrong.

This should be fun. It's been far too long since I've been free to embrace the pain of another.

I hope you're ready.

Good-bye.

After dueling

You've demonstrated your strength. I've no desire to fight you again.

Glad to see you're no longer hiding your cowardice.

You've won the right to crow, but be careful or I'll see that you choke on it.

I've shamed you enough. Good-bye.

Next time, show proper respect for your betters.

Notes

• Although their abilities state they can inflict bleed or poison, they don't actually inflict these conditions.
