Dialogue

Human found at Ghostsummit

I've seen more action here than I expected. If I'd known, I might have actually requested this post. Being an entrepeneur, I make do wherever I land.

What sort of action do you see around here?

Harpies! I'd gladly smash harpy skulls all day and drink to their demise all night. You'd understand what I meant if you'd ever heard their shrieks.

I'll leave you to it then.

I'm going to find me some action. See you later.

Human found in Squall Cusps

Siege weapons are the only way we're going to get an upper hand in this. The enemy can just keep replenishing their troops forever. Our resources are limited. We have to be smart.

That's an intelligent way of looking at things.

Thanks, but it's just common sense. If you're outnumbered, better weapons and better tactics can still save the day. We can't abandon Orr just because it won't be easy to win.

True. Good-bye.

Do you think we can win?

When you're doing something this important, you don't sit around and wonder if it'll work. You just throw everything you've got into it. If success isn't possible, you'll find out.

I think I follow you.

Agreed.

This structure feels like it's going to fall apart. I hate krait. Figures they'd have a fortress right where we need to send our ships through. As if we didn't have enough to deal with!

There's too much to do to waste time complaining.

You're right. I knew this wasn't going to be easy going in. I should prepare for the next phase of the invasion.

You do that.

It was frustrating, but you did a good job fighting them off.

Thanks. I appreciate that. I've been in Orr for so long, I've forgotten how to be cheerful. Well, now at least we can make progress with our invasion.

True. See you around.

I agree, we do have a lot to deal with.

You're hinting that I should get back to work, aren't you? Well, you're right. I'll go prepare for the next phase of the invasion.

You do that.

(If Order of Whispers)

We must dream the undreamable.

And seal the unsealed. It's a bit foolish to have that password out here, where we're all united, but I suppose secrecy has its benefits. If it didn't, there'd be no need for us, right?

Heard anything interesting lately?

Southeast of here, there's an underwater cave. It's full of horrible things that spread corruption, but if you can access the panels while untainted, you can get through to whatever lies within.

I see. I'll take a look.

We took care of it just fine. Now get focused.

Human found at Broken Bluffs, asura at Dry Step Mesas

Commander! It's good to see you!

What are you doing here, soldier?

We've formed a rally point for survivors and salvage, and we'll fly them out come morning.

Sounds good. Let me ask something else.

Understood, I will keep my eyes open for them.

How can I help?

Keep doing whatever you can to help out anyone in the area, and we'll set up more rally points.

Good plan. Let me ask another question.

Sounds good. I'll head out now.

And you as well. Stay strong, soldier.

Human found at Shrouded Ruins, asura at Stonetwist Paths

Commander! We're glad to see you survived. We've dug in here against the Mordrem.

What's the situation, soldier?

We've set up a rally point to gather troops nad supplies, but we're under regular Mordrem assault.

I see. Let me ask another question.

Understood. I'll leave you to it.

What help do you need?

We need to get troops and supplies to our position and defend it until we fly them out of here.

Good plan. Let me ask another question.

Very well, then. I'll leave you to it.

Excellent! Carry on.
