==== Throwing Scratch's ball after he is dismissed ====
* Scratch needs a snooze. The games can wait.
* All tuckered out? Me too, Scratch. Me too.
* No point in that. Good ol' Scratch is snoozing away.
* Poor Scratch is tired. I should let him rest.
==== Throwing Scratch's ball after his death ====
* I miss you, Scratch.
* Fetch isn't much of a solo game.

* What would Minsc say? Ah yes - 'Go for the eyes, Boo!'
=== At Epilogue party ===
''Greeting (always the same)''
* Ah, there you are. I was hoping you'd make your way over.
* Ah, cool, fresh air. By living gods, I needed it.
* A beautiful night. I wish it could last forever.
* Good song, good company, and good wine from the looks of it.
'' If he has been transformed''
* The whole gang is here. I wish I had time to polish up the horns.

* '''Astarion''': A question for our master monster hunter: how would you approach killing a vampire?
 
(''If it is not known that Astarion is a vampire'')
*'''Astarion''': Ever heard of a vampire called Cazador, Wyll?
* '''Wyll''': To start? Lure it into the sun, drive a stake through its heart. Why?
**(''If Wyll knows about Astarion being a vampire'')
* '''Astarion''': Just curious.
*'''Wyll''': I don't think so. Why? Friend of yours?
(''If it is known that Astarion is a vampire'')
**(''If Wyll doesn't know about Astarion being a vampire and Gale is present'')
* '''Wyll''': A full-on vamp, you mean? Lure it into the sun, drive a stake through its heart.
*'''Wyll''': Doesn't ring a bell. Why?
* '''Wyll''': And that's not the end of it. The suckers are wily. No offence.
* '''Astarion''': None taken. Wiliness keeps me alive. More or less.

**(''If Wyll doesn't know about Astarion being a vampire'')
* '''Wyll''': Killed a few giant bats in my day, Astarion - but never hunted a vampire.
*'''Wyll''': To start? Lure it into the sun, drive a stake through its heart. Why?
* '''Astarion''': Just to remind you, I'm merely a spawn. It won't count.
*'''Astarion''': Just curious.

*'''Wyll''': And that's not the end of it. The suckers are wily. No offence.
* '''Shadowheart''': So. A vampire spawn and a monster hunter in the same group. We're not going to have trouble, are we?
*'''Astarion''': None taken. Wiliness keeps me alive. More or less.<hr>(At [[Forest|The Forest]])
* '''Astarion''': Excuse me? Since this tadpole, I'm barely a monster at all.
 
* '''Astarion''': I just want to survive, same as you.
* '''Wyll''': As much love as I have for Baldur's Gate, these frontiers delight me as much as any bustling street.
* '''Wyll''': I don't see a problem, as long as mister fang there keeps his appetite in check.
*'''Astarion''': You can't be serious? This is a howling wasteland!
<hr>
*'''Astarion''': I haven't even had a bath since the abduction. I must reek of illithid slime.
(''If it is known that Astarion is a vampire'')
*'''Wyll''': Sure, but think of the stories you'll be able to tell.<hr>
* '''Wyll''': Astarion, how is the rat diet going?
*'''Wyll''': Killed a few giant bats in my day, Astarion - but never hunted a vampire.

<hr>
*'''Astarion''': But if you want a true vampire, I'm happy to recommend one.<hr>*'''Wyll''': I'm feeling a bit parched and peckish.
(''If it is known that Astarion is a vampire'')
*'''Astarion''': Me too. Keep an eye out for any passing vagrants.
* '''Wyll''': I'm feeling a bit parched and peckish.
*'''Wyll''': I'm afraid you'll have to content yourself with vagrant chickens.<hr>(At [[Blighted Village]])

* '''Wyll''': I'm afraid you'll have to content yourself with vagrant chickens.
<hr>
(At [[Forest]])
* '''Astarion''': Well, it's no Baldur's Gate, but at least it's some kind of civilisation.
* '''Astarion''': Well, it's no Baldur's Gate, but at least it's some kind of civilisation.
* '''Wyll''': I do miss the Gate, though. The Elfsong Tavern! Sunset over Grey Harbour! Fried fish at the docks!

* '''Astarion''': You can't be serious? This is a howling wasteland!
 
* '''Astarion''': I haven't even had a bath since the abduction. I must reek of illithid slime.
* '''Astarion''': I hardly saw you at the party. Did the honest and true Blade sneak off for a little fun?
* '''Wyll''': Sure, but think of the stories you'll be able to tell.
* '''Wyll''': No! Nothing like that at all.
<hr>
* '''Astarion''': Oh, but you protest too much. Now I know you were practicing your swordplay.<hr>(At [[Underdark|The Underdark]])  
''(After encountering [[Auntie Ethel]])''
 
* '''Wyll''': Ethel mentioned Netherese magic. What in blazes does that mean?
*'''Astarion''': Spent much time in the Underdark?  
* '''Gale''': Magic from the fallen empire of Netheril. Ancient, exceedingly dangerous, and quite unrivalled.
** (''If Wyll doesn't know about Astarion being a vampire'')
* '''Astarion''': Wonderful! I'd hate to be destroyed by any common old magic.
<hr>
(In the [[Underdark]])

(On the road to [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]])
 
* '''Wyll''': I'd watch yourself, my friend. I don't know if our pale rogue has anything good in his heart, or even a scrap of it left for you.
* '''Astarion''': Excuse me? That's just mean - we're all adults here.
* '''Wyll''': Your heart's cold as ice, Astarion. I'm just making sure no one slips and gets hurt.<hr>
*'''Wyll''': I'm feeling a bit parched and peckish.
* '''Astarion''': Me too. Keep an eye out for any passing vagrants.
 
* '''Wyll''': I'm afraid you'll have to content yourself to vagrant chickens.<hr>(On the way to [[Shadow-Cursed Lands|The Shadow-Cursed Lands]])
 
* '''Astarion''': I used to be agog at everything when I first walked in the sun. Perhaps I'm adjusting to this new life.
* '''Astarion''': I used to be agog at everything when I first walked in the sun. Perhaps I'm adjusting to this new life.
* '''Wyll''': It's when you use words like 'agog' that I remember you're actually two centuries old.
* '''Wyll''': It's when you use words like 'agog' that I remember you're actually two centuries old.
* '''Astarion''': And it's when you think 'agog' is an impressive word that I remember you're just a child.

<hr>
 
(At [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] Fisherman's Hut)
* '''Wyll''': To think how vibrant this place must have once been. Children playing, merchants hawking. Real people living real lives.
* '''Wyll''': To think how vibrant this place must have once been. Children playing, merchants hawking. Real people living real lives.
* '''Astarion''': I know, can you imagine the noise? This is much more peaceful.
* '''Astarion''': I know, can you imagine the noise? This is much more peaceful.
* '''Wyll''': Come, Astarion. I know you're not really as heartless as all that.
* '''Wyll''': Come, Astarion. I know you're not really as heartless as all that.
* '''Astarion''': Of course not, I'm a pussycat really. Just ask anyone who's seen my claws.
* '''Astarion''': Of course not, I'm a pussycat really. Just ask anyone who's seen my claws.<hr>(At [[Oubliette]])
<hr>
 
(Approaching [[Moonrise Towers]])
* '''Astarion''': Admittedly, I don't care for most people, but this is a terrible waste.
* '''Wyll''': Because their lives were cut brutally short, you mean.
* '''Astarion''': I - ... yes, that. That's clearly what I was referring to.<hr>(At [[Moonrise Towers]])
 
* '''Wyll''': Finally, we're approaching Moonrise Towers.
* '''Wyll''': Finally, we're approaching Moonrise Towers.
* '''Astarion''': Nothing escapes the Blade of Frontiers' keen senses, I see.
* '''Astarion''': Nothing escapes the Blade of Frontiers' keen senses, I see.
* '''Wyll''': Mock me all you want, Astarion. We could use a little comic relief.
* '''Wyll''': Mock me all you want, Astarion. We could use a little comic relief.
* '''Astarion''': Yes, that's why I'm mocking you - to keep our spirits up. No other reason...
* '''Astarion''': Yes, that's why I'm mocking you - to keep our spirits up. No other reason...<hr>(''If Astarion is romanced by Act 2'')
<hr>
 
(At [[Moonrise Towers]] [[Oubliette]])
* '''Wyll''': Astarion, I just want to say - I judged you wrongly. I'm sorry.
* '''Astarion''': Admittedly, I don't care for most people, but this is a terrible waste.
* '''Astarion''': Really? And how - specifically - have you misjudged my fine character?
* '''Wyll''': Because their lives were cut brutally short, you mean.
* '''Wyll''': You aren't actually insufferably randy. You're just insufferable.<hr>(''If Wyll is romanced by Act 2'')
* '''Astarion''': I - ... yes, that. That's clearly what I was referring to.
 
<hr>
* '''Wyll''': I'm surprised I never saw you lurking in the shadows at any Baldurian balls, Astarion.
(At [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]])
* '''Astarion''': The city's elite was not my target audience, alas.
* '''Astarion''': People ask questions when members of the nobility disappear, and the last thing Cazador wanted was people asking questions.<hr>(At [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]])
 
* '''Wyll''': The city fell under Gortash's charms without him casting nary a spell.
* '''Wyll''': The city fell under Gortash's charms without him casting nary a spell.
* '''Astarion''': Well, most people are idiots, Wyll. You can lure them into a dragon's maw if you promise a bag of sweets.
* '''Astarion''': Well, most people are idiots, Wyll. You can lure them into a dragon's maw if you promise a bag of sweets.
* '''Wyll''': The people aren't stupid, Astarion - they're scared. Gortash provoked a damned war, and then promised them safety.
* '''Wyll''': The people aren't stupid, Astarion - they're scared. Gortash provoked a damned war, and then promised them safety.
* '''Astarion''': Safety, sweets - it's the same principle.
* '''Astarion''': Safety, sweets - it's the same principle.<hr>(At [[Bloomridge Park]])
<hr>
 
(At [[Wyrmway]])
* '''Astarion''': I lived two centuries in this city, but it can still surprise me.
* '''Wyll''': Baldur's Gate harbours many a secret. Even the longest-lived explorers have yet to uncover them all.
* '''Wyll''': Speaking of - what were you getting up to all those years?
* '''Astarion''': Let's not get into the details. If Baldur's Gate can have its secrets, so can I.
<hr>
(At [[Bloomridge Park]])
* '''Astarion''': You know, I've never seen this place in the daylight before.
* '''Astarion''': You know, I've never seen this place in the daylight before.
* '''Wyll''': I always loved this park. Spent a lot of time here as a boy battling imaginary monsters.
* '''Wyll''': I always loved this park. Spent a lot of time here as a boy battling imaginary monsters.
* '''Astarion''': Oh, I was going to say it looks wretched. The dark hid all the kitschy details.
* '''Astarion''': Oh, I was going to say it looks wretched. The dark hid all the kitschy details.<hr>(At [[The Blushing Mermaid]])
<hr>
 
(At [[The Blushing Mermaid]])
* '''Wyll''': Ah - the memories. The Blushing Mermaid's where fifteen-year-old Wyll snuck his first kiss.
* '''Wyll''': Ah - the memories. The Blushing Mermaid's where fifteen-year-old Wyll snuck his first kiss.
* '''Astarion''': You didn't kiss anyone until you were fifteen? Gods, what a tragic, sheltered life...
* '''Astarion''': You didn't kiss anyone until you were fifteen? Gods, what a tragic, sheltered life...
* '''Wyll''': Sheltered? Not at all. I was exposed to all manner of riot and revelry. Hells, my father even urged me on once or twice.
* '''Wyll''': Sheltered? Not at all. I was exposed to all manner of riot and revelry. Hells, my father even urged me on once or twice.
* '''Wyll''': But I've always been a bit old-fashioned on these matters. I find more pleasure in a courtly dance than a loveless fling.

* '''Lae'zel''': You strike me cleverer than most istiki, Gale. Multiple tutors, I should guess.
* '''Gale''': Many a wise man and woman indeed. Waterdeep is the home of myriad scholars.
* '''Wyll''': Ah, the City of Splendours. Spent a whole Fleetswake there with my father. What a delight.
<hr>
(''If it is known that Gale is imbued with the orb'')

''(After encountering [[Auntie Ethel]])''
* '''Wyll''': Ethel mentioned Netherese magic. What in blazes does that mean?

<hr>
(Near [[Rosymorn Monastery]])
* '''Gale''': These cragged hillls make for weary soles. I see why most headed inland prefer the smooth sailing of the Chionthar.
* '''Wyll''': More importantly, the land west of here suffers under a terrible curse.
* '''Gale''': You've seen it for yourself?
* '''Wyll''': I've glimpsed that doom during my travels, but never dared get close.
* '''Wyll''': If we continue this way, we may get too close for comfort.
<hr>
(At [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] Forest)
* '''Wyll''': What a dismal forest. Monsters could be lurking behind any and every tree.
* '''Gale''': We'd be wise to fear the trees themselves. It feels like the forest itself longs for our destruction.
* '''Wyll''': Frustrating, that.
* '''Wyll''': Monsters, I can fight. But I can no more sever these shadows than I could the wind or the sun.
<hr>
(At [[Reithwin Town]])
* '''Wyll''': I've known goblin raiders to slaughter entire villages and strip them for loot - but I've never seen one ravaged like this.
* '''Gale''': It's hard to imagine anyone who'd willingly inflict such devastation, be they zealots, marauders, invading armies... A sign of far worse to come, I fear.
<hr>
(At [[Reithwin Tollhouse]])
* '''Gale''': A tollhouse like this would only be merited in the most prosperous of settlements. This was once a thriving trade route.
* '''Wyll''': Should it be any wonder? The Chionthar's waters carry merchant vessels from as far east as Berdusk.
* '''Wyll''': And they wouldn't have brought just trade goods, but song, dance, and custom. Riches of the mind and the spirit.
* '''Wyll''': So much was lost when the darkness fell.
<hr>
(At [[Mason's Guild]])
* '''Gale''': The masons here thought they were building something to last. How wrong they were.
* '''Wyll''': Perhaps it's a blessing that none of them survived to see it fall to the shadows.
* '''Gale''': No need for such a grim assumption. Halsin helped many to escape these shadows before the town was consumed.
* '''Wyll''': Then some masons were more blessed still, if they could put their talents to use elsewhere.
* '''Wyll''': Perhaps some of their work even graces Baldur's Gate.
<hr>
(At [[House of Healing]])
* '''Wyll''': This was a hospital? Feels more like a prison.
* '''Gale''': A common enough interpretation. Sickness has a nasty habit of making you feel trapped, if only within the confines of your own body.
* '''Gale''': I once spent weeks convalescing in the Hospice of St Laupsenn after a nasty bout of ruddy pox. For all their kindness, leaving that place behind felt like freedom to me.
* '''Wyll''': I've always relied on the kindness of the healers and menders of the Coast. Better a cleric's healing touch than a chirurgeon's scalpel.
<hr>
(Approaching [[Moonrise Towers]])
* '''Gale''': Moonrise Towers lies ahead. We're nearing the Heart of the Absolute, I'm certain of it.
* '''Wyll''': Then let us push forward, heads high, weapons in hand, and turn this tower to rubble.
* '''Gale''': Your confidence is encouraging but a little premature. Let's keep our eyes on the task ahead. Or eye, as the case may be.
<hr>
(At [[Moonrise Towers]])
* '''Wyll''': This is no aimless horde - the Absolute's forces are organised. What do you make of it, Gale?
* '''Gale''': All enemies have some chink in their armour, no matter how much they like to believe themselves invulnerable. That's what we must find.
* '''Wyll''': And if we don't find any clear weakness?
* '''Gale''': Then we hope our mutual strengths are enough to dominate them. Or, we die nobly in the attempt.
<hr>
(At [[Moonrise Towers Prison]])
(''If you rescued Mizora'')
* '''Wyll''': Of course Mizora was Zariel's captured asset. How did I not see it coming?
* '''Gale''': It's in a devil's nature to conceal the truth - you can't fault yourself for that.
* '''Wyll''': I've been pacted for seven years on, Gale. I should be able to read between Mizora's lines by now, no matter how narrow the gap.
(''If Mizora isn't there'')
* '''Gale''': Not a devil in sight. How disappointing.
* '''Wyll''': I doubt a few iron bars are sufficient to hold one of Zariel's.
* '''Gale''': True enough. But an illithid pod? That would probably do the trick.
* '''Wyll''': I wager you're right. Ah, Gale - what a pleasure to see a genius' mind at work.
(''Else'')
* '''Gale''': How long have you been pacted to Mizora, Wyll?
* '''Wyll''': Seven years. Seven years of hunting the monsters of the Sword Coast - and seven years of Mizora's tight leash.
* '''Wyll''': And seven years of wondering if I'd ever rid myself of her - or if I even should.
<hr>
(''While assaulting [[Moonrise Towers]]'')
* '''Wyll''': This is it, Gale - today, we annihilate the heart of the Absolute's power. The bards will sing of our victory here.
* '''Gale''': Entirely unnecessary. Though if they are so inclined, I might be convinced to share a stanza or two of my own for inspiration.
<hr>
(At [[Baldur's Mouth]])
* '''Gale''': The history of the city itself is captured in the archives here - a fascinating resource.
* '''Wyll''': I wonder what those archives will reveal about us a hundred years hence.
* '''Gale''': Only the most excellent and complimentary things. With some encouragement from us, of course.
<hr>
(At [[Guildhall]])
* '''Wyll''': It might seem a bit ramshackle, but this place has a boastworthy bar.
* '''Gale''': A bar is only as good as its cellars. Which vintages can we expect to find on their racks?
* '''Wyll''': Here, a bottle is judged more by its ability to crack heads than the quality of its contents.
* '''Gale''': Ah. If that's the main criteria then I shall reset my expectations accordingly. Water it is.
<hr>
(At [[Morphic Pool]])
* '''Gale''': Whatever the outcome of what's just ahead, it will be the stuff of legends.
* '''Wyll''': In that case, someone needs to survive to tell the story.
* '''Gale''': My money's on you, Wyll.
* '''Wyll''': I'm betting on all of us.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 1 romance scene'')
* '''Gale''': If your natural charm isn't quite up to scratch, Wyll, there are magical means of adding a little flourish of charisma.
* '''Wyll''': A kind offer, but I think I'd rather pursue things the old fashioned way.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 2 romance scene'')
* '''Gale''': I knew you were a graceful man, Wyll, but I hear you're quite the dancer too.
* '''Gale''': I've been known to trip the light fantastic myself. Mine was a popular hand at the annual Blackstaff's Ball.
* '''Wyll''': I'd have love to have witnessed it, Gale. I wager you are as elegant on the dance floor as you are on the battlefield.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Wyll''': I'm probably going to regret this, but Gale - if I'm to be wed, would you like to make a speech?
* '''Gale''': You've asked the right wizard. My oratory skills have left many a wedding guest weeping in their seat.
* '''Wyll''': Promise it will last less than half an hour?
* '''Gale''': I can promise it will feel like less than half an hour...
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Gale; after act 1 romance scene'')
* '''Gale''': Have you noticed any attachments of the more, erm, romantic variety flourishing in our camp, Wyll?
* '''Wyll''': I think I'm not the right person to be asking.
* '''Wyll''': I can recognise a troll's silhouette on a far horizon, but I wouldn't know a flirtation if you whacked me alongside the head with it.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Gale; after act 2 romance scene'')
* '''Gale''': I've heard that in Baldur's Gate, 'wizard' is also a term used for one who eschews their more, ahem, carnal desires. Is that true, Wyll?
* '''Wyll''': Where are we going with this, Gale?
* '''Gale''': Oh, nowhere. I just think it a rather cruel misnomer. Not at all reflective of the glamour wizarding life affords.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Gale; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Wyll''': I used to believe the beauty of first love was unable to be surpassed.
* '''Wyll''': But Gale - you are so much more tolerable now you've found your second.
* '''Gale''': I'll take that comment with the sincerity and good will I assume it was intended.

(''At [[Last Light Inn]], if it's protected'')
tba
* '''Karlach''': Think the bar is open?
* '''Wyll''': I intend to find out. But we should scout around first, see who's in need of help.
* '''Karlach''': You're good at staying in character, I'll give you that.
<hr>
(At [[Grand Mausoleum]])
* '''Karlach''': No shadow curse here. Wonder why.
* '''Wyll''': Couldn't say. Maybe because an entirely different curse has befallen the tomb.
* '''Karlach''': Always something, isn't it.
<hr>
(At [[Gauntlet of Shar]])
* '''Karlach''': You know, even devils like a good joke. Why are Sharrans so... dour?
* '''Wyll''': Their belief is grounded in loss. Hardly a laughing matter.
* '''Karlach''': The loss of all joy. Sad business.
<hr>
(At [[Rivington]] riverbank)
* '''Karlach''': Care for a dip, Wyll?
* '''Wyll''': It would be my pleasure, Karlach - once the Absolute's been crushed for good.
* '''Karlach''': Heroics don't leave half enough time for messing.
<hr>
(In the North Alleys)
* '''Karlach''': Do I hear... music?
* '''Wyll''': I reckon there wasn't much merry-making in the Hells.
* '''Karlach''': You reckon right. Maybe for the best though. My singing is worse than demonic screeching.
* '''Wyll''': Hm - perhaps your talent lies in dancing, instead?
<hr>
(At Southern Docks)
* '''Wyll''': Smell that, Karlach?
* '''Karlach''': Uh... fish?
* '''Wyll''': Well, yes. But also trouble.
* '''Karlach''': Your nose is better than mine, pal.
<hr>
(At [[The Counting House]])
* '''Karlach''': Feel that? Guards are giving us the stink-eye.
* '''Karlach''': Think they recognise you?
* '''Wyll''': Possibly. But I wager there's something deeper at work here.
* '''Karlach''': Then let's go digging.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 1 romance scene'')
* '''Karlach''': Couldn't find you for a while at the party. Was hoping we could regale our friends with a nice three-horned duet.
* '''Wyll''': Ah, I just needed a moment of quiet, to think, that's all.
* '''Karlach''': What about?
* '''Wyll''': Wouldn't you like to know?
* '''Karlach''': Well yeah! One thing I'll say for the Hells, the gossip is excellent. Faerûn's a funeral parlour by comparison.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 2 romance scene'')
* '''Karlach''': Used to your new look yet, Wyll? I for one think you look smashing.
* '''Wyll''': You know, I think I am. It certainly didn't put off my - er- dance partner.
* '''Karlach''': Ah, dance, the true language of love.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Karlach''': Seeing you happy is pretty wonderful, Wyll.
* '''Karlach''': Two of my real friends, finding real happiness? Together? Beautiful.
* '''Wyll''': Thank you, Karlach.
* '''Karlach''': If you get married, I'm your celebrant. Got it?
* '''Wyll''': As if could ever refuse you.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 1 romance scene'')
* '''Wyll''': Did Zariel know you'd be unable to touch anyone when she crammed that awful thing into your chest?
* '''Karlach''': Thing is, I can touch devils and the like, back in Avernus. I never did, cause I'm not a masochist. But I could have.
* '''Wyll''': Gods. I'm glad you got out of there.
* '''Karlach''': With my new best friend on my tail the whole time. Who knew.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 2 romance scene'')
* '''Wyll''': Karlach... I know I say this every day, but I'm so glad you're here.
* '''Karlach''': Me too!
* '''Wyll''': And seeing you've got someone to care about now, after ten bloody years, what would you say? 'Good for you, mate.'?
* '''Karlach''': Exactly so, your majesty.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Wyll''': The fact one of your first dates is going to be one of your last... it's just not fair, Karlach.
* '''Karlach''': I don't want to think about that. I just want to enjoy whatever comes my way.
* '''Wyll''': You're worth more respect than every last rogue in this city. I hope you know that.


==={{Banter|Lae'zel}}===
==={{Banter|Lae'zel}}===
* '''Lae'zel''': Every moment a new danger. I may have underestimated this Faerûn.
*'''Wyll''': Lae'zel, you've the most ''exquisite'' eyes - golden as the sands of the Calim.
* '''Wyll''': You don't know the half of it. With a bit of luck, we'll meet a beholder.
*'''Lae'zel''': And you've a soft skull. A ''ghaik'' tentacle will have no issues pushing through it.
*'''Wyll''': Is that... a compliment?
* '''Lae'zel''': No, it is a fact. Life in this Faerûn is laughably weak.
<hr>
<hr>
* '''Wyll''': Lae'zel, have you ever done a good deed just for the sake of it?
*'''Wyll''': I've never met anyone like you, Lae'zel.
* '''Lae'zel''': I have performed deeds well and efficiently. Is this what you mean?
*'''Lae'zel''': Yes I've been told I'm quite scintillating.
* '''Wyll''': Not exactly. But you answered my question.
*'''Wyll''': Have you really?
*'''Lae'zel''': No.
<hr>
<hr>
* '''Wyll''': Mm - Lae'zel, do you believe in love at first sight?
*'''Wyll''': Mm - Lae'zel, do you believe in love at first sight?
* '''Lae'zel''': I hardly believe in love at all.
*'''Lae'zel''': I hardly believe in love at all.
* '''Wyll''': Oh.
*'''Wyll''': Oh.
* '''Lae'zel''': But I do believe in carnal pleasure.
*'''Lae'zel''': But I do believe in carnal pleasure.
* '''Wyll''': Oh!
*'''Wyll''': Oh!
<hr>
<hr>
* '''Wyll''': I've never met anyone like you, Lae'zel.
*'''Wyll''': Can an illithid go solo, Lae'zel? You know - break free of their master?
* '''Lae'zel''': Yes I've been told I'm quite scintillating.
*'''Lae'zel''': Renegades are rare, but not unheard of.
* '''Wyll''': Have you really?
*'''Lae'zel''': A ''ghaik'' gone astray is no less dangerous for it - and its head no less valuable.
* '''Lae'zel''': No.
<hr>
<hr>
* '''Wyll''': Lae'zel, you've the most exquisite eyes - golden as the sands of the Calim.
*'''Wyll''': Lae'zel, have you ever done good deed just for the sake of it?

*'''Lae'zel''': I have performed deeds well and efficiently. Is this what you mean?

* '''Lae'zel''': No, it is a fact. Life in this Faerûn is laughaby weak.
<hr>
* '''Lae'zel''': The Blade of Frontiers, hm? Do you always need to be the centre of attention?
* '''Wyll''': Anything but. I don't fight to be flattered, Lae'zel. I fight to save lives.
<hr>
* '''Lae'zel''': I've not heard of these 'Flaming Fist'. Enlighten me, Wyll.
* '''Wyll''': The Coast's chief militia, led by none other than Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard himself.
(''If it is known that Wyll is the son of Ulder Ravengard'')
* '''Lae'zel''': Your father, you mean?
* '''Wyll''': The very same.
<hr>
(''If it is known that Wyll has a contract with Mizora'')
* '''Lae'zel''': If you wish to be rid of your devil, Wyll, we should just kill her and be done with it.
* '''Wyll''': And incur the wrath of the Hells? I might as well just leap straight into the fires.
<hr>
* '''Wyll''': Can an illithid go solo, Lae'zel? You know - break free of their master?
(''If you have met Omeluum'')
* '''Lae'zel''': Renegades are rare, but not unheard of.
(''If you have not met Omeluum'')
* '''Lae'zel''': Renegades are rare, but not unheard of. Omeluum is one such creature.
* '''Lae'zel''': A ghaik gone astray is no less dangerous for it - and its head no less valuable.
<hr>
* '''Wyll''': Who's in charge of the mind flayers, Lae'zel? Is there a squid king or something?
* '''Lae'zel''': No. Each ghaik is servant to an elder brain. No king unites elders - only their collective tyranny.
* '''Gale''': A mind flayer monarch, imagine that. Such a thing could shatter worlds.
<hr>
(Near [[Rosymorn Monastery]])
* '''Wyll''': Lae'zel, are you sure of the greeting we'll find at this crèche of yours?
* '''Lae'zel''': Of course I'll be welcomed. And if you behave, you may keep your head too.
* '''Wyll''': I can count on you to vouch for me, I hope.
* '''Lae'zel''': Don't worry. You're more useful to me alive.
<hr>
(At [[Crèche Y'llek]])
* '''Lae'zel''': How I have longed for these familiar sounds and sights.
* '''Wyll''': Well I'll be. So even the ferocious Lae'zel has a soft side.
* '''Lae'zel''': A possessive side. What is a warrior without something precious to protect?
<hr>
(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]])
* '''Wyll''': Lae'zel - did you ever fight illithid creatures in your training days?
* '''Lae'zel''': Never. The ghaik aboard the nautiloid was the first I ever witnessed in flesh.
* '''Wyll''': Really? I figured you would have joined your fellow gith in a colony raid.
* '''Lae'zel''': A young warrior is expected to fight their first ghaik with their cousins - kin hatched from the same clutch.
* '''Lae'zel''': The ones who triumph earn a place in githyanki society. The one's who don't, perish.
<hr>
(At [[Rivington]])
* '''Wyll''': When I was a child, father sent me to Sharess' Caress to deliver messages.
* '''Wyll''': How was I to know what went on behind its closed doors?
* '''Lae'zel''': Eating, sleeping, and sex acts of all manner, of course.
* '''Wyll''': Hm. What's plain to you wasn't so plain to mini-Wyll.
* '''Lae'zel''': 'Mini-Lae'zel' wasn't so sheltered. On Crèche K'liir, very little is hidden behind doors.
<hr>
(At Eastern Docks)
* '''Lae'zel''': I smell danger on the wind. Keep your weapons ready.
* '''Wyll''': The only thing the wind's carrying is the smell of trout. Lae'zel. We're near the fish market.
* '''Lae'zel''': Discount my warning at your peril.
* '''Wyll''': I get it, Lae'zel - peril, danger, and so forth. All I can think of now is a nice fish dinner.
<hr>
(At [[Lower City Sewers]])
* '''Lae'zel''': Baldur's Gate's sewer system could use a few... improvements.
* '''Wyll''': The smell getting to you, Lae'zel?
* '''Lae'zel''': It isn't the smell that bothers me - it's the inefficiency. An entire underground wasted on waste that could simply be teleported to Wildspace.
* '''Wyll''': Hm. Once the Absolute's finished, I'll be sure to propose your idea to the Council.
<hr>
(At [[Steel Watch Foundry]])
* '''Wyll''': Labour is the lifeblood of every city. Baldur's Gate would perish without its workers.
* '''Lae'zel''': So it is with the githyanki. Without the mlar's swords and ships, and the gardens of our g'lathk, the empire couldn't thrive.
* '''Wyll''': Maybe githyanki and humans aren't so different after all.
* '''Lae'zel''': Let's not carried away, Wyll.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 1 romance scene'')
* '''Lae'zel''': Wyll, you are a man of great vigour. Why have you not sought a mate any of these nights we have camped?
* '''Wyll''': Ah, well, I admit I've had thoughts about it. In my own way.
* '''Lae'zel''': Do not think, Wyll. Act.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 2 romance scene'')
* '''Lae'zel''': Does your species release airborne pheromones upon beginning the courtship dance, Wyll?
* '''Lae'zel''': I've heard thus is the way with certain birds of paradise and prey. The chemical induces lowered inhibitions between the pair.
* '''Wyll''': No. I mean, I don't think so. Would you count a light spritz from a vial of jasmine dust as a pheromone?
* '''Lae'zel''': Indubitably.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 1 romance scene'')
* '''Lae'zel''': To bind oneself to another forever seems a fool's vow.
* '''Wyll''': Then by all means, call me a fool.
* '''Wyll''': In the Gate especially, it's uncommon to marry your first love nowadays.
* '''Wyll''': But losing that early love is still the regret foremost of forgotten sorrows.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 2 romance scene'')
* '''Wyll''': I really didn't expect the affair to last between the two of you, Lae'zel. Is it getting to be something more?
* '''Lae'zel''': We have spilled one another's blood. We have spent blows until utter exhaustion.
* '''Wyll''': Congratulations - I think.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Wyll''': I hope my home can be yours, if you don't go back to the skies.
* '''Lae'zel''': Chk. I have no intention of allowing myself to grow a third stomach and a withered arm in a ducal seat.
* '''Wyll''': I meant the Gate! But you're always welcome for tea.

==={{Banter|Shadowheart}}===
* '''Shadowheart''': So. Wyll with a 'y' - why?
 
* '''Wyll''': 'Y', that's right.
*'''Shadowheart''': I saw you training those children. You were so gentle! That's... not how I was taught.
* '''Shadowheart''': But why?
*'''Wyll''': Cruel words strengthen neither heads nor hearts, Shadowheart.
* '''Wyll''': Why 'y'? A great-uncle's name, my father said. But I just figured he couldn't spell.
<hr>
* '''Shadowheart''': I saw you training those children. You were so gentle! That's... not how I was taught.
* '''Wyll''': Cruel words strengthen neither heads nor hearts, Shadowheart.
* '''Shadowheart''': I wouldn't quite say that - I learned the lesson, after all.
* '''Shadowheart''': I wouldn't quite say that - I learned the lesson, after all.
* '''Wyll''': And came to resent your tutor, I bet. I taught them to fight - not to hate.
*'''Wyll''': And came to resent your tutor, I bet. I taught them to fight - not to hate.
<hr>
*'''Wyll''': Ah, Shadowheart - how blessed I am to be so near.
* '''Shadowheart''': So Wyll, what was the Blade of Frontiers' toughest kill?
*'''Shadowheart''': I heard you with Lae'zel - don't think I'll play second fiddle to the likes of her.
* '''Wyll''': Ah - it was a great scrap. A hungry minotaur with a hankering for human flesh.
*'''Shadowheart''': Go try your charms on someone who's out of earshot.
* '''Wyll''': An axe-bearing mountain of fur, she was. Gave me a nasty scar.
 
* '''Shadowheart''': I hope you don't mind if I don't ask to see it.
----(''If Astarion is present'')  
<hr>
 
(''If it is known that Shadowheart is a follower of Shar'')
*'''Shadowheart''': So. A vampire spawn and a monster hunter in the same group. We're not going to have trouble, are we?
* '''Wyll''': What's your gripe with Selûne anyway, Shadowheart?
* '''Shadowheart''': She betrayed her sister and ruined the balance of things.
* '''Shadowheart''': Imagine turning on those who love you for you own glory...
<hr>
(''If it is known that Astarion is a vampire'')
* '''Shadowheart''': So. A vampire spawn and a monster hunter in the same group. We're not going to have trouble, are we?
* '''Astarion''': Excuse me? Since this tadpole, I'm barely a monster at all.
* '''Astarion''': Excuse me? Since this tadpole, I'm barely a monster at all.
* '''Astarion''': I just want to survive, same as you.
*'''Astarion''': I just want to survive, same as you.
* '''Wyll''': I don't see a problem, as long as mister fang there keeps his appetite in check.
*'''Wyll''': I don't see a problem, as long as mister fang there keeps his appetite in check.

(''If Mizora turned Wyll into a devil'')
----
* '''Shadowheart''': Have you wondered what people will say, Wyll? When they find out the monster hunter is becoming a monster.
 
* '''Wyll''': I've faced countless perils and conquered them all. This will be no different.
*'''Shadowheart''': Have you wondered what people will say, Wyll? When they find out the monster hunter is becoming a monster.

* '''Shadowheart''': I've always had a soft spot for the confident ones...
* '''Shadowheart''': I've always had a soft spot for the confident ones...
* '''Shadowheart''': They always disappoint though.
*'''Shadowheart''': They always disappoint though.
<hr>
 
* '''Shadowheart''': Fiend worship... I'm not trying to pick a fight, Wyll. But it really seems like a blatantly ill-advised idea.
----
* '''Wyll''': It's the furthest thing from my mind. Besides, Shadowheart - not all fiends are cut from the same scorched cloth.
 
* '''Shadowheart''': How do they differ, then? The number of horns? The exact timbre of their evil laugh?
*'''Shadowheart''': So Wyll, what was the Blade of Frontier's toughest kill?
* '''Wyll''': Could be most anything. Their willingness to torment their travel partners with wisecracks, for example.
*'''Wyll''': Ah - it was a great scrap. A hungry minotaur with hankering for human flesh.
<hr>
* '''Wyll''': An axe-bearing mountain of fur, she was. Gave me a nasty scar.
* '''Wyll''': Ah, Shadowheart - how blessed I am to be so near.
*'''Shadowheart''': Hm, you'll have to show it to me sometime.
* '''Shadowheart''': I heard you with Lae'zel - don't think I'll play second fiddle to the likes of her.
 
* '''Shadowheart''': Go try your charms on someone who's out of earshot.
----
<hr>
*'''Shadowheart''': So. Wyll with a 'y' - why?
(At [[Rosymorn Monastery]])
*'''Wyll''': 'Y', that's right.
* '''Wyll''': 'The Mysteries of the Monastery'. 'The Secret of the Crags'.
*'''Shadowheart''': But why?
* '''Shadowheart''': What was that? I really can't abide mumbling, Wyll.
*'''Wyll''': Why 'y'? A great-uncle's name, my father said. But I just figured he couldn't spell.
* '''Wyll''': I'm trying to decide on a title for this chapter of the Blade's adventures.
 
* '''Shadowheart''': Haven't you ever heard 'don't catch your chickens before they hatch'?
----(After visiting the Temple of Shar)
* '''Shadowheart''': Or perhaps 'Don't count your adventurers before they survive a arduous, danger-filled journey'?
 
<hr>
*'''Wyll''': What's your gripe with Selûne anyway, Shadowheart?
(At [[Last Light Inn]] Graveyard)
*'''Shadowheart''': She betrayed her sister and ruined the balance of things.
* '''Wyll''': Tombstones. I'd half-expect to get a glimpse of Withers here.
*'''Shadowheart''': Imagine turning on those who love you for you own glory...
* '''Shadowheart''': Don't even joke about it. Bad enough that he's haunting our camp, with his cryptic asides and his... overall mustiness...
 
* '''Wyll''': He's useful, as the not-so-alive, not-quite-dead go.
----(In the [[Mason's Guild]])
* '''Shadowheart''': 'Death is the Blade's companion' - isn't that what they say? I think I preferred it as a metaphor.
 
<hr>
*'''Shadowheart''': All this stonework has me thinking - would you ever want a statue of yourself, Wyll?
(At [[Mason's Guild]])
*'''Wyll''': It seems a rather... vain notion to me. But I can't say I haven't thought about it. How about you?
* '''Shadowheart''': All this stonework has me thinking - would you ever want a statue of yourself, Wyll?
*'''Shadowheart''': I suppose it might be nice to be remembered - though I'd be less keen on having birds perching on my head for evermore.
* '''Wyll''': It seems a rather... vain notion to me. But I can't say I haven't thought about it. How about you?
*'''Wyll''': Think of the... er... mess they'd make. Well - better your statue's head than your own.
* '''Shadowheart''': I suppose it might be nice to be remembered - though I'd be less keen on having birds perching on my head for evermore.
 
* '''Wyll''': Think of the... er... mess they'd make. Well - better your statue's head than your own.
----(At the [[Lower City|Basilisk Gate]])
<hr>
 
(At [[Moonrise Towers]] Docks)
*'''Shadowheart''': A gallows? Nooses are for amateurs - that's what I was taught in the Grotto. Do you know how badly those things can go wrong?
* '''Wyll''': We're not taking a boat to Baldur's Gate, surely.
*'''Wyll''': I'd rather not think of it, Shadowheart...
* '''Shadowheart''': A nice, leisurely voyage? The idea seems pleasant enough... but knowing our luck, we'd probably end up as easy targets the whole away.
*'''Shadowheart''': You could strangle them by accident, use too much rope and break their legs... and if it goes really badly, you could wrench their heads right off.
* '''Wyll''': Exactly. Not that I'm one to refuse the scenic route, but I think we need to hike it.
*'''Wyll''': What a picture you paint. Quite detailed, quite colourful. Quite unnecessary.
<hr>
 
(''After defeating [[Ketheric Thorm]]'')
----(Area South of [[Lady Jannath's Estate]])
* '''Shadowheart''': Sobering, to think that we've got even tougher battles yet to come.
 
* '''Wyll''': We've chipped away a piece of the Absolute. It will take all our might, all our will, to fully shatter it.
* '''Shadowheart''': I'm not despairing. Far from it. I just hope we're afforded a little breathing room before the  next onslaught.
<hr>
(''While south of [[Wyrm's Crossing]]'')
* '''Shadowheart''': You know, I'm starting to remember that Wyrm's Crossing has a bit of a reputation, doesn't it? A tad mercenary, a tad sordid. Anything and anyone for a price...
* '''Wyll''': Ah, but to little harm. Shouldn't we all be allowed to stoke a few fires from time to time?
* '''Shadowheart''': You sound like you're speaking from experience, Wyll. Perhaps you'll have to give me a tour - refresh my memory.
* '''Wyll''': Heh - I'm afraid you'd find my own stories rather tight-laced, Shadowheart. I was never one to sow my wild oats.
<hr>
(At Basilisk Gate)
* '''Shadowheart''': A gallows? Nooses are for amateurs - that's what I was taught in the Grotto. Do you know how badly those things can go wrong?
* '''Wyll''': I'd rather not think of it, Shadowheart...
* '''Shadowheart''': You could strangle them by accident, use too much rope and break their legs... and if it goes really badly, you could wrench their heads right off.
* '''Wyll''': What a picture you pain. Quite detailed, quite colourful. Quite unnecessary.
<hr>

* '''Shadowheart''': You know what would be nice, just for a change? Venturing through a sun-dappled vineyard, or a gleaming palace.
* '''Shadowheart''': You know what would be nice, just for a change? Venturing through a mysterious bazaar, or a lush, dark wood, scented with lavender.
* '''Wyll''': Not so fond of the sewers, then?
* '''Shadowheart''': They have their purpose. I'd just rather we didn't have to wade through their purpose.
<hr>
(At [[Flymm Cargo]])
* '''Wyll''': I'm reminded of a book father kept hidden in a drawer. 'The Salty Mermaid'. Do you know of it, Shadowheart?
* '''Shadowheart''': 'Fabian ran his calloused fingers along Allura's scales. Her tail quivered in response...'
* '''Wyll''': ' 'Taste me', Allura pleaded. Fabian smashed his lips against hers and their tongues twisted together like two eels in the Sword Sea.'

(At [[Bloomridge Park]])
* '''Wyll''': Spent a lot of time in this park as a boy battling imaginary monsters.
* '''Shadowheart''': So before you were Blade of the Frontiers, you were Pointy Stick of the Park? How did the imaginary monsters compare with the real thing?
* '''Wyll''': The monsters of my play-fights were strong, vicious. Trolls with hulking muscles, werewolves with sharpened fangs.
* '''Wyll''': But the greatest villains I've faced as the Blade? They look more like you and me than they do the beasts of my fantasies.
<hr>
(At Harborview Park)
* '''Shadowheart''': Amazing how the city can seem almost peaceful at times, knowing all that goes on out there.

(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'')
*'''Shadowheart''': Consider the numbers. Someone out there must be having the worst day of their life. Robbed, evicted, widowed, who knows? No wonder Shar thrives, with such misery...
* '''Shadowheart''': Consider the numbers. Someone out there must be having the worst day of their life. Being robbed, evicted, widowed, who knows? Then, easy prey for Lady Shar.
*'''Wyll''': If that's true, then so must the be the opposite: there are people out there celebrating their lives' best moment.
(''If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar'')
*'''Wyll''': A wedding to their betrothed, a new baby, a windfall... the taste of an exquisite pudding....

*'''Shadowheart''': Fiend worship... I'm not trying to pick a fight, Wyll. But it really seems like a blatantly ill-advised idea.
<hr>
*'''Wyll''': It's the furthest thing from my mind. Besides, Shadowheart - not all fiends are cut from the same scorched cloth.
(At [[Water Queen's House]])
*'''Shadowheart''': How do they differ, then? The number of horns? The exact timbre of their evil laugh?
* '''Shadowheart''': Umberlee - a brutal goddess, from what I understand. Without even the slightest touch of subtlety to her.
*'''Wyll''': Could be most anything. Their willingness to torment their travel partners with wisecracks, for example.
* '''Wyll''': Subtlety isn't exactly your forte, given how you've strolled about wearing a circlet inset with Shar's symbol.
 
(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'')
----(In [[Bloomridge Park]])
* '''Shadowheart''': That's different. You'd be surprised how easily Lady Shar can hide in plain sight. People go around blinkered, caught up in their own lives.

* '''Wyll''': I don't have to ask for permission, if that's what you mean.
*'''Shadowheart''': Umberlee - a brutal goddess, from what I understand. Without even the slightest touch of subtley to her.
* '''Shadowheart''': Really? I'm surprised. I thought dowries, alliances and old blueblood feuds might have to be balanced against your desires.
*'''Wyll''': Subtley isn't exactly your forte, given how you've strolled about wearing a circlet inset with Shar's symbol.

*'''Wyll''': On that matter, you'll hear no argument from me.
(''If it is not known that Shadowheart is a follower of Shar'')
* '''Shadowheart''': No harm in a little mystery...

<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart; after act 2 romance scene'')
* '''Wyll''': I saw you pressing a bunch of flowers the other day in a book.

<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Selune'')
* '''Wyll''': Even if you and our friend ended up having werewolf cubs, they'd be so adorable.
* '''Shadowheart''': Ahem. I've shown no signs of lycanthropy, thank you very much... but should that change, I'll take it you're volunteering to be child-minder.
* '''Wyll''': Hm. Buy me some protective gloves, and I'm all for it.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Shar'')
* '''Wyll''': I think it's a true shame, that your goddess doesn't allow for love.

----(At [[The Waning Moon]])
* '''Halsin''': After the shadow curse, I became overly fond of honey mead and melancholy evenings by myself. Now I rarely imbibe - only on the most special of occasions.

(At [[Gauntlet of Shar]])
*'''Wyll''': That reminds me - how in the Nine Hells could goblins capture a chap as well-muscled as you?
* '''Wyll''': The statuary in here is so triumphal. Even the worst of us can see ourselves as heroes.
*'''Halsin''': Poor choice of companions, for one thing - gladly rectified, since then.
