Where sickness thrives, bad things will follow. A dragon will guard its plunder as long as it lives. (S)He never forgave and he’ll never forget. Some people are beginning to worry about you. They think you are becoming odd. (S)He doesn’t approve of being late. All of them at once, I suppose. I am looking for someone to share in an adventure. I’m not entirely sure if you’re in the right house. Cheese knife? (S)He eats it by the block! I lost my way, twice. Axe or sword, what’s your weapon of choice? This quest is our and ours alone. We may be few in number, but we’re fighters! How many dragons have you killed? If we have read these signs, do you not think others will have read them too? If there’s a key, there must be a door. I’ve never stolen a thing in my entire life! The wild is no place for gentle folk. I don’t want to be responsible for his/her fate. Think furnace with wings! I’ll be alright. Just let me sit quietly for a while. You’ll have a tale or two to tell for your own if you come back. There are a few warriors amongst us. When I called upon them, they answered. From my grandfather to my father, this has come to me. You’ll have to manage without pocket handkerchiefs. Your home is now behind you. The world is ahead. Our dead were beyond the count of grief. Where do these foul creatures come from? They’re infested with parasites, it’s a terrible business! I’ve got the biggest parasites! Huge parasites! I had a thought and I lost it! It was right there, on the tip of my tongue! A dark power dwells in there. That is not from the world of the living. This was your plan all along? To seek refuge with the enemy? Something or someone must have drawn them near. Where’s the meat? Have they got any chips? Swords are named for the great deeds they do in war. What is your interest in this map? You are not the only guardian to stand and watch over (…). Send out the word: there is a price on their heads! They’re determined to reclaim their homeland. Did you think these plans and schemes of yours go unnoticed? (…) owns allegiance to no one. This Necromancer is nothing more than a mortal man. Don’t speak to me of (…). (S)He is a foolish (wo)man. A powerful spell lies upon these tombs. I fear this quest has set in motion forces we do not yet understand. If you should ever need my help, I will come. We must find shelter! The legends are true! (S)He’s been lost ever since (s)he left home! (S)He has no place amongst us. You’re homesick. I understand. I know someone who would pay a pretty price for your head. What have I got in my pocket? That’s not fair! It’s against the rules! I won the game! You promised to show me the way out. It’s too many! We can’t fight them! Your home was taken from you, but I will help you take it back if I can. Out of the frying pan, and into the fire. Do you smell it? The scent of fear? That one is mine. Kill the others! Drink their blood! What do you think you were doing? You nearly got yourself killed! I’ve never been so wrong in all my life.

The town is lost, seize the gold! You are forsaken. No help will come! I know how I feel and I’m not afraid. Look around you! Have you not had your fill of death?! (S)He hasn’t eaten - (S)He hasn’t slept in days! Watch it corrupt him. Watch it destroy his heart and drive him mad! Take only what you need. We’ve got a long march ahead. News of the death of (…) will have spread through the lands. They fled squealing like cowards. Do you doubt the loyalty of anyone here? Perhaps it is best that it remains lost. It’s a poor prize to take back to (…). There’s gold in that mountain for all! I want this fortress safe by sun-up. Do not tell me what they have lost, I know well enough! Those who have lived through dragon fire should rejoice! These children are starving, we need more food! I do not come on your behalf. I came to reclaim something of mine. We’ve not come to rob you, but to seek fair settlement. Your threats do not sway me. We are, in fact, outnumbered. You should never underestimate Dwarves. We have reclaimed (…), now we defend it. It is fruitless to reason with them. We attack at dawn. Are you with us? True friends are hard to come by. One of them has taken it. One of them is false! Is this treasure truly worth more than your honour? We’ve got enough trouble without the likes of you! You are all in mortal danger! These are fighters that have been bred for war. They have forgotten what lives beneath these lands. You started this, (…), you will forgive me if I finish it. I came to give you this. How is this yours to give? I’ve grown very fond of them and I would save them if I can. Get as far away from here as possible. Don’t underestimate the evil of gold. Keep an eye on him. If he should try to leave, tell me. They are taking us for fools. You would steal from me? Do not speak to me of loyalty! Will you have peace or war? I’ll have war. Would you consider just sodding off?! My sword is yours to command. Let these lands run with blood! Since when do we forsake our own people? There are halls beneath the halls in this mountain. Many die in war. Life is cheap. A treasure such as this is not worth all the lives lost. I will not hide behind a wall of stone while others fight our battles for us! Any man who wants to give their last, follow me! You’re not a man, you’re a weasel! You think your life is worth more than theirs? Search the lower levels, I’ve got this. I wish to part from you in friendship. I’m so sorry that I’ve lead you to such peril. If this is love, I do not want it.
