(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 3 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Astarion''': I hear you were spotted being 'normal' in the Singing Lute, Karlach. Are you feeling all right? | |||

(''If the player is romancing Astarion; after act 2 romance scene'') | |||

* '''Karlach''': Sunbathe? Swim? | |||
* '''Astarion''': All right, there are a few limited exceptions. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Good to know love is on the table though. | |||

(At [[Blighted Village]]) | |||

* '''Karlach''': Must've been an awful day for the people who lived here. | |||
* '''Gale''': If nothing else, I hope it was a mercifully short one. | |||
<hr> | |||
(In the [[Underdark]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Just when I was getting used to the sky again... | |||
* '''Gale''': Fear not, Karlach. Sun, moon and stars will still be there waiting for us. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Meanwhile, this place is pretty spectacular, isn't it? | |||
* '''Gale''': No book or painting could ever do its strange beauty justice. But perhaps our stories might, when we return to the surface. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Grymforge]]) | |||
* '''Gale''': The architects who built this must have been remarkable. A pity their vision didn't stand the test of time. | |||

(Near [[Rosymorn Monastery]]) | |||

(On the road to [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]]) | |||

* '''Karlach''': I feel it too. Here if you need a pick-me-up. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Last Light Inn - Cellar]] Shrine) | |||

<hr> | |||
(At [[The Waning Moon]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Huh. A brewery. Why does Reithwin Ale ring a bell? | |||
* '''Gale''': It was known to be quite the tipple - a cask or two still exists, if you know the right alekeep... | |||
* '''Karlach''': You must have good taste. Not me. Can't afford it. | |||
* '''Gale''': A common misconception. Even the simplest of flavours are elevated by the choice to appreciate them. Don't deny yourself such pleasures. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Reithwin Tollhouse]]) | |||

(At [[Gauntlet of Shar]]) | |||
* '''Gale''': Even shaped by shadow as it is, Sharran architecture has a kind of beauty to it. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Beautifully intimidating. This place was meant to scare people into submission. | |||
* '''Gale''': There you go, cutting right through the ephemera to the heart of the matter. Your finest quality, I think. | |||
* '''Karlach''': And here I thought I rubbed you the wrong way. | |||
* '''Gale''': Nothing wrong with a bit of friction now and then. You help me keep my mind sharp. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Aw. Thanks, pal. I think. | |||
<hr> | |||
(Approaching [[Moonrise Towers]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Ready to enter the belly of the beast? | |||

* '''Karlach''': In that case, welcome home. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Moonrise Towers]] Docks) | |||
* '''Karlach''': We're not taking a boat to Baldur's Gate, right? | |||

* '''Karlach''': Phew. My mum always said the Chionthar was unlucky. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]]) | |||
* '''Gale''': It strikes me that, for a mind flayer colony, there are remarkably few mind flayers about the place... | |||
* '''Karlach''': Squiddies have gone to war, is my guess. | |||
* '''Gale''': On the Absolute's behalf? Now there's an alliance I'd have been quite happy without. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[The Blushing Mermaid]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Man, it's good to be home. First round on who? | |||
* '''Gale''': She who thirsts buys drinks the first. | |||

* '''Gale''': She who declines gets the worst of the wines. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Sorcerous Sundries]]) | |||
* '''Gale''': Look around you. Indulge your curiosity. Sorcerous Sundries is the finest purveyor of magical miscellany for miles around. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Where's the axes? | |||
* '''Gale''': What they sell is far more precious than mere sword or shield. They sell knowledge, ingenuity, the wisdom of mages past. | |||
* '''Karlach''': ''[yawning]'' Sounds like more your thing than mine. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Felogyr's Fireworks]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Oof. Karlach and explosives, not a good mix. | |||
* '''Gale''': You and I both. Let's just stay very calm, very serene. The last thing we need is to set this place off. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[The Counting House]]) | |||
* '''Gale''': They say wealth offers a form of magic. Alas, it's one I've rarely dabbled in. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Nor I. Never had more than a few coppers in the city, and any soul coins in Avernus went straight to Zariel. | |||
* '''Gale''': Make no mistake. Souls are sold for coins up here as well. All too cheaply, in most cases. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Danthelon's Dancing Axe]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Wouldn't mind a dancing axe of my own. | |||
* '''Gale''': A simple movement charm wouldn't be too hard to apply to such an object. I could conjure one up for you if you like? | |||
*'''Karlach''': Yes! I like! | |||
* '''Gale''': Very well then. Once the city is saved, Karlach's Kinetic Cleaver will be first on my list. | |||

* '''Karlach''': Ugh. Are you going to try and teach me about exceptional uses for a mage hand or what? | |||
* '''Gale''': Actually, I was thinking of poetry. | |||

(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 2 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Gale''': I've always felt flames to be a rather perfect expression of love, Karlach. | |||

* '''Karlach''': Damn, you're right. The eyes see what the heart wants. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Ruined Battlefield]]) | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Bones. Rusted weapons. A great battle was fought here. | |||
* '''Karlach''': An extra vicious one, I think. No one buried their dead. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Exactly the sort of battle I live to fight. And the sort made even more thrilling with a hot-hearted tiefling at my side. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Look at all this mucus. Wonder if our nautiloid came from down here. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': It's a possibility. This is no mere mind flayer colony, but an entire ghaik bastion. | |||
* '''Karlach''': I'm ready for the goo. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]]) | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': A kith'rak's red dragon would have this place down around Gortash's ears in moments. | |||
* '''Karlach''': I'd love to see that. I've always hated this place. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': It will be far more satisfying to plunge a blade into Gortash myself than to pick through his ashes. | |||
<hr> | <hr> | ||
(At Wyrm's Rock Fortress) | (At [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]]) | ||
* '''Karlach''': You know, I've always kind of hated this place. Such ado about a damned bridge. | * '''Karlach''': You know, I've always kind of hated this place. Such ado about a damned bridge. | ||
* '''Lae'zel''': It's just a bridge. Is it really worth all that ire? | * '''Lae'zel''': It's just a bridge. Is it really worth all that ire? | ||
Line 407: | Line 2,551: | ||
* '''Karlach''': You know what, Lae? I couldn't agree more. | * '''Karlach''': You know what, Lae? I couldn't agree more. | ||
<hr> | <hr> | ||
(At [[Lady Jannath's Estate]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Phew! Wouldn't mind shacking up in a place like this. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Yes - and quite an attractive target for githyanki raiders. They'd plunder the village and fly off with the spoils. | |||
* '''Karlach''': What are you, pirates? | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': To my people, all the planes are a vast garden to be weeded and picked. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Well tell your mates to keep their hoes out of Baldur's Gate. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[House of Hope]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Damn. I swore I'd never come back to the Hells, and here I am. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Fate has a way of pulling us along with or without our approval. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Escaping fate happens to be my speciality. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 1 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': So githyanki undergarments. Very fashionable. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': The under-harnesses are often used for strapping oneself onto a red dragon. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Fashion and function. You lot really have it all figured out. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 2 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': Lae'zel, you're actually glowing. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': It is the sheen of the soldier's sweat on my brow. | |||
* '''Karlach''': The soldier's sweat? Or the lover's? | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Kain'cha... Speak on it no further. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': It's good to see you smiling, Lae'zel. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': A momentary spasm of the jaw. But perhaps there is cause. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Even in this dark hour, there are some things to take heart in. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Couldn't have said it better myself. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 1 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Your years in the Hells have made you a fierce warrior, Karlach. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Fierce in battle, maybe a bit naive in... everything else. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': In that way, you are like many a young githyanki - wise to the ways of battle, if not to the wider world. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Makes sense. And how are you getting on out here in the world? | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Mindfully and meticulously. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 2 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Karlach, were there others of Zariel's warriors who bore the infernal engine? | |||
* '''Karlach''': I was the first - not the last. But most didn't survive the process. | |||
* '''Karlach''': The others were all devilkin. I think I was the only lucky winner from Faerûn. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': You were stronger than the others. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Lucky me. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 3 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': A dinner date. At first your request confused me. But then, I became curious... | |||
* '''Karlach''': Think you might like to try it for yourself some time? | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': It sounds terribly understimulating. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Depends on the company. | |||
* '''Lae'zel''': Well. Good thing for us both I make for riveting company. | |||
=== {{Banter|Shadowheart}} === | |||
(At [[Forest]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Ahh. Flowers, leaves, grass. Can't beat it. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': I was raised in the city - I'm more used to feeling cobblestones underfoot than grass and fallen leaves. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Before I went to Avernus, I'd have agreed with you. Nothing quite like Baldur's Gate, is there? | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Nothing in my recollection, anyway... | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Blighted Village]]) | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': The whole village is falling to pieces. These goblins aren't exactly house-proud, as occupiers go... | |||
* '''Karlach''': Wouldn't blame the gobs. Place looks like it's been abandoned a good while. | |||
* '''Karlach''': But hey, maybe we can scare up a few dusty bottles of wine somewheres. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': I like your way of thinking. Split any takings we find? | |||
* '''Karlach''': Sister, you've got a deal. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Sunlit Wetlands]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Hey! Something bit me. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Just an insect - I'm sure you'll survive. Besides, it probably figured you for a tasty treat. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Give me an aboleth over a midge any day. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Grymforge]]) | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': This place is hard to bear. I hope we're able to continue on our way before too long. | |||
* '''Karlach''': I know what you mean. Everyone is so... unhappy. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Oh. Well I meant more the molten rock and plunging chasms, but yes, the folk leave something to be desired as well. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Present company excluded, of course? | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Oh hush, you. Stop fishing for compliments. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Rosymorn Monastery]]) | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': A remote spot for a monastery. I suppose they wanted to make sure the monks avoided temptation. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Yeah but look at these mountains. The height of temptation. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': No, I mean more like vices. You know - pleasures of the flesh. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Met a loumara demon who married a mountain, though. It's a thing. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': I think the thin air might be getting to you, Karlach. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Crèche Y'llek]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Gotta respect these gith. They don't fool around. | |||
(''If it is known that Shadowheart is a follower of Shar'') | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Oh I'm more than aware, trust me. I've had plenty of training in what to expect from them. | |||
(''If it is not known that Shadowheart is a follower of Shar'') | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': I'll certainly be treading very carefully, trust me. | |||
* '''Karlach''': In that case, lead on, miss. | |||
<hr> | |||
(On the road to [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]]) | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': We've had some close calls already. There could be even tougher days ahead... | |||
* '''Karlach''': Cheer up. It might be all downhill from here. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Meaning things will start becoming easier for us, or our situation will deteriorate from here...? | |||
* '''Karlach''': Exactly. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Reithwin Town]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Since you're the only one in good form out here, I'll trust you to lead the way, Shadowheart. | |||
(''If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar'') | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Actually... I've been stripped of that particular advantage. But I will forge ahead, nonetheless. | |||
(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'') | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': It's a deal, so long as you watch my back. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Atta girl. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Mason's Guild]] Rebel Hideout) | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': I love a nice secret hideaway, don't you? | |||
* '''Karlach''': I mean... I guess. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': You can just fill it with supplies, seal up the hidden entrance, and tuck yourself away from the world... | |||
* '''Karlach''': Whatever you say, squirrelheart. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Gauntlet of Shar]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Never knew Sharrans to be so... military. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': It shouldn't surprise you. We have been at war with Selûne since before most of history was written. An eternal conflict, from the viewpoint of mortals... | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Shar's entire creed revolves around waging war against Selûne. Imagine all the generations of mortals, sacrificed in an eternal conflict between sisters. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Problem with eternal wars is they never end. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Take it from me, a short, sharp personal vendetta is far less time-intensive. | |||
<hr> | |||
(Approaching [[Moonrise Towers]]) | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Moonrise Towers. There used to be more than one tower, of course. The other must have been destroyed. | |||
(''If Karlach has only one real eye'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': I figured as much, what with my one good eye for seeing and fingers for counting. | |||
(''If Karlach still has both eyes'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': I figured as much, being the proud owner of eyes. | |||
* '''Karlach''': ... sorry, no need for that. Must've put too much salt on my blood sausage this morning. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Not at all. Nice to be on the receiving end, now and again. Keeps me sharp. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Moonrise Towers]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': I'm sweating bullets. What if I blow our cover? | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Simplicity is the key to a good deception. If in doubt, try thinking less. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Yes ma'am. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Moonrise Towers]] [[Oubliette]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Dark enough for you, Shadowheart? | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Nothing wrong with a nice subdued ambience. It can help flatter even the homeliest of faces. | |||
* '''Karlach''': I'll try to keep my fire a gentle throb. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Moonrise Towers Prison]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Prisoners! | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': More like soon-to-be tadpole residences. Every infected prisoner will just make things harder on us... | |||
* '''Karlach''': Let's go blast a brine pool, then. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Baldur's Mouth]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': I wouldn't mind doing a little shopping in the city. | |||
(''If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar'') | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Same. I think I may have overdone it with the black and purple for, oh, my entire life? Your look serves you well though. | |||
(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'') | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Lady Shar teaches us to abhor superficialities like fashion... though the city does have some fine boutiques. After a new look? | |||
* '''Karlach''': I'm ten years behind; don't want the youths to think I'm not, you know, up with the times. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Bloomridge Park]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Huh. There's something going on here. I don't like it. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Careful. I smell an ambush. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Are you sure it's not the flowers you're smelling? You may be allergic. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': But better safe than sorry, I suppose. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Morphic Pool]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': I can tell when we're getting close to a mind flayer area because everything starts to smell purple. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': That's either profoundly poetic or childishly simple. I'm going with poetic. | |||
* '''Karlach''': A compliment from Shadowheart! I'll put it on the shelf with the rest of my achievements. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 2 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': Hey, Shaddy, got a quick question about the best way to treat an infernal burn. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Shaddy? Really? | |||
* '''Karlach''': Hearty? Shadsy? Or maybe just The Fringe? | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': 'Shadowheart' will do just fine, thanks. Love is making you fanciful. | |||
* '''Karlach''': You might be right. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart; after act 1 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': You look happy, Shadowheart. Like a Night Orchid in bloom. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': You must be imagining it. | |||
* '''Karlach''': It's all over your face. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': It must be all the fresh air since the crash - has me flush. | |||
* '''Karlach''': It looks good on you. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart; after act 2 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': So - why Night Orchids? | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Well, isn't it enough that they're beautiful? | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': They remind me of some place - a place I can't quite remember. But I think I was happy there, wherever it was. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Sorry. I'm being silly. | |||
* '''Karlach''': You're cute. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Selune'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': Must be lovely to have a swim without boiling all the fishes alive. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Sounds pleasant to swim with you. At a distance. It's usually so freezing. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Don't ask me to make a hot spring for you two. It might work. But I also might cook you like lobsters. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Shar'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': To have someone who cares about you and throw them away. I don't know how you do it. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': Any restriction, any tether must be shed. Surely you understand that? It is a form of freedom, if a tragic one. | |||
* '''Karlach''': I've had enough tragedy in my day. You have too. But Shar's got you in a chokehold. | |||
* '''Shadowheart''': It's called an embrace. I suppose you don't receive many. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Whatever. | |||
=== {{Banter|Wyll}} === | === {{Banter|Wyll}} === | ||
(''At [[Last Light Inn]], if it's protected'') | |||
* '''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|Halsin}} === | === {{Banter|Halsin}} === | ||
(At [[Ruined Battlefield]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': I can almost reconstruct this battle in my mind. Unfortunately. | |||
* '''Halsin''': At least you were not present. Grim as it is now, it was worse on the day of the battle. A vivid wound upon my memory. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Tsk. Poor man. | |||
* '''Halsin''': I was lucky - I lived, when so many did not. It would take me a day and a night to recite the names of all the friends I lost. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Last Light Inn]] Graveyard) | |||
* '''Karlach''': Well, well. Who's buried here? | |||
* '''Halsin''': Flaming Fists, Harpers, refugees, perhaps... The shadow curse has indiscriminate taste in victims. | |||
* '''Karlach''': May they rest in peace. | |||
* '''Halsin''': Peace and rest are strangers in these lands, until the shadows are banished. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''At [[Last Light Inn]], if it's cursed'') | |||
* '''Halsin''': All gone... devoured by the shadows. Oak Father preserve us, it's just like a hundred years ago. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Stay strong, bear man. We're still here. | |||
* '''Halsin''': We are. Yet there is a burden to being the survivor... the witness to others' tragedies. It only grows heavier with time. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Mason's Guild]]) | |||
* '''Halsin''': I knew one of Reithwin's head masons. She was a good woman, and strong as an ox. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Really? Are strong women your type, Halsin? | |||
* '''Halsin''': I don't discriminate against any type. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Truly a bear man of the people. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Moonrise Towers]]) | |||
* '''Halsin''': This fortress was a seat of the High Heralds, I believe. Long gone from here, of course. | |||
* '''Karlach''': The who now? | |||
* '''Halsin''': A council of intellectuals, respected throughout Faerûn - leading authorities on heraldry of course, but also history, genealogy, and diplomacy. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Seems like diplomacy failed, if they allowed Ketheric Thorm to take over - twice. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Moonrise Towers]] Throne Room) | |||
(''If the shadowcurse hasn't been lifted'') | |||
* '''Halsin''': I can only hope we still find time to vanquish the curse. I can think of little else. | |||
* '''Karlach''': You can talk of little else too. | |||
* '''Halsin''': I make no apologies for knowing what is important to me. | |||
(''If the shadowcurse has been lifted'') | |||
* '''Halsin''': We have lifted the shadow curse, but a new challenge awaits us. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Baldur's Gate - we can't get there soon enough. | |||
* '''Halsin''': I am... less anxious to find myself in a city. So removed from nature's power - I do not know how I will fare. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Stick with me. I'll show you around and square up if anyone bothers you. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''While assaulting [[Moonrise Towers]]'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': Take no prisoners. | |||
* '''Halsin''': I doubt many will seek to surrender. But if they do... mercu costs us nothing, Karlach. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Nothing but the win. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[The Lodge]]) | |||
* '''Halsin''': There is an admirable harmony to the Society of Brilliance. Beings of all sorts, united in the pursuit of intellect... | |||
* '''Karlach''': The pursuit of intellect. Fun. | |||
* '''Halsin''': Hailing from the Underdark can dampen one's sense of fun, I will admit. Down there, noises such as laughter tend to attract predators. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Sounds like a place I used to know... | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[The Blushing Mermaid]]) | |||
* '''Halsin''': You and I may struggle to go unnoticed in such environs, Karlach. | |||
* '''Karlach''': True enough. Hard to hide pretty under a bushel. | |||
* '''Halsin''': I meant more in terms of size. Folk of our stature can be a lure for drunkards seeking a brawl, I have found. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Ooh! Fun. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Guildhall]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': I smell a fight brewing. | |||
* '''Halsin''': Then let it brew. Some radical thinkers claim that peace is a valid option, you know. | |||
* '''Karlach''': And miss a good barroom brawl? Not me, sir. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Sorcerous Sundries]]) | |||
* '''Halsin''': This place reminds me of a magpie's nest. Random baubles, doodahs, and what-have-yous, all jumbled together without a care. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Fun, right? Who knows what you could find. | |||
* '''Halsin''': Danger, going by past experience. A cursed tome. An unstable spell. A haunted poppet... | |||
* '''Karlach''': ''[In a singsongy voice]'' Haunted poppet, haunted poppet. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Morphic Pool]]) | |||
* '''Halsin''': I cannot help but feel that destiny is tightening its grip on our forward path. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Win or lose, we're nearly there, right? | |||
* '''Halsin''': Indeed. But I just wanted to take the chance to say - it has been a pleasure, Karlach. | |||
* '''Karlach''': The feeling's highly mutual, bear man. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Haslin in act 3'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': You're old as sin, right Halsin? You must have lots of good stories. | |||
* '''Halsin''': A few. But people always warm to the most salacious chapters. | |||
* '''Halsin''': They forget how much I study, meditate, and as a bear - hibernate. I must have spent a hundred years or more asleep. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Sleep and adventure. Maybe I'll come back as a bear in some future life. | |||

* '''Halsin''': Nature affords us few greater powers of healing than what love can provide, Karlach. | |||
* '''Halsin''': I was concerned that your pursuit of a cure might cloud your final days. I am glad I was wrong. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Me too. Even with so much at stake... in this little heart of mine, I've never been happier. | |||

(At Abandoned Cistern in the [[Lower City Sewers]]) | |||
* '''Minthara''': This place is foul. Drow would not tolerate rivers of waste flowing so close to their residences. | |||
* '''Karlach''': You've got slaves to manage your sanitation. Baldur's Gate doesn't. Though we do rely quite heavily on kobolds. | |||
* '''Minthara''': But surely the kobolds are slaves? | |||
* '''Karlach''': Hell no. | |||
* '''Minthara''': Straj. Yet one more reason to despair for the fate of this city. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 2 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': Hey, so, what's romance like in the Underdark, Minthara? | |||
* '''Minthara''': In Menzoberranzan, romance is commonly a luxury enjoyed between women. Men are mostly present for propagation. | |||
* '''Minthara''': Here on the surface, gender does not define one's role so strictly. There are weaklings of every sort. | |||

(''If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 3 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Karlach''': It's funny seeing you so smitten, Minthara. Didn't think you were able. | |||
* '''Minthara''': I took my first lover before you were a spark in your father's eye, child. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Go on. | |||
* '''Minthara''': She was a high priestess of House Vandree. Beautiful, elegant, ruthless. | |||
* '''Minthara''': I adored her, and had been sharing her bed for some time when the order came that she must die. | |||
* '''Minthara''': I stayed with her while the poison did its work, and whispered words of comfort as she slipped away. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Oh no. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 2 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Minthara''': You allowed that smith to meddle with your heart, Karlach, simply so you can be touched? | |||
* '''Minthara''': Better to shut off the carnal desires than indulge them. They are distractions. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Yes, because every function comes with a handy switch. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Next time I'm injured, don't heal, just turn me off and on again. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 3 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Minthara''': Have you ever been afraid, Karlach? Truly afraid? | |||
* '''Karlach''': You know how much time I spent in the hells, right? Of course I've been scared! | |||
* '''Karlach''': I kept on going though. Knew there'd be better days on the other side - and here they are. | |||

(At [[Steel Watch Foundry]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': These Steel Watchers are big as hell. | |||
* '''Jaheira''': All the more cracks and crevices for a wild-shape to ferret into - gum up the works a little. | |||
* '''Karlach''': I'd give my other horn to watch that. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Bonecloak's Basement]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': So, erm, Jaheira. Do you like to... that is, what do you like to do? | |||
* '''Jaheira''': As in... hobbies? Oh. Well... I like to play music, I suppose? | |||
* '''Karlach''': I'm just picturing you strumming on a harp so hard the strings snap and trying not to shriek. ''[Awkward laugh]'' What do you play? | |||
* '''Jaheira''': Eh. Mostly the same children's rhyme, on a battered whistle of tin. I do not get a lot of time to practise. | |||
* '''Jaheira''': Oh spare me the sad eyes, girl! Not every daily deed is worthy of song! Certainly none I can play. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Water Queen's House]]) | |||
* '''Karlach''': This place is so peaceful. Maybe I should convert. | |||
* '''Jaheira''': I've done my share of praying to her, though not for the cause of peace. My faith was suddenly found on choppy seas. | |||
* '''Karlach''': I don't know what that means. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 3 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Jaheira''': You've a love-struck look about you, Karlach. Just do not let it distract you from the task ahead. | |||
* '''Karlach''': But what if I really enjoy being distracted from the task ahead? | |||
* '''Jaheira''': Bah, where is the barbarian rage? I have been learning so many colourful phrases from you, I was hoping to inspire a few more. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Ma'am, you've been inspiring me since I was yea high. | |||

(At the entrance to the [[Guildhall]]) | |||
* '''Minsc''': Are you familiar with the evil works of Nine-Fingers and her Guild, Karlach? | |||
* '''Karlach''': I've Heard of her - and everyone knows the Guild. They're not bad if you know how to work 'em. | |||
(''If Minsc has agreed to work with Nine-Fingers'') | |||
* '''Minsc''': Hm. Boo and I, we are in need of honest berserkers to keep the Guild honest in turn. Will you show us how this 'working' is done? | |||
* '''Karlach''': Sure. The trick is to let them mess with you just once, and show 'em what happens. They won't try again. | |||
(''If Minsc has not agreed to work with Nine-Fingers'') | |||
* '''Minsc''': Minsc means to do no working. When he breaks the guildmaster, it will be for the fun of it alone. | |||
<hr> | |||
(At [[Undercity Ruins]]) | |||
* '''Minsc''': A dead and foul place. Only a villain would nest down in these tunnels. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Hang on, weren't you living in the sewer? | |||
* '''Minsc''': Entirely different! That was foul only in its smells, and the way our water tasted. But it was home. | |||
* '''Karlach''': Fair enough, buddy. Home is where the heart is, anyway. | |||
* '''Minsc''': Ah - in that case, home is in my pocket, nestled on soft bed of flesh and fluff. | |||

(At [[Morphic Pool]]) | |||
* '''Minsc''': Karlach, this brain we go to bully - Boo has suggested it is large. Wizard-brain large? Boo-brain large? | |||
* '''Karlach''': Like... as many Boo-brains as a mortal mind can fathom. It's an elder brain, after all. You heard of those? | |||
* '''Minsc''': Of course! | |||
* '''Minsc''': What is an elder brain? | |||
* '''Karlach''': Honestly, I'm not completely sure. But I know it'll be no match for you, me, and the hamster. | |||
<hr> | |||
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 3 romance scene'') | |||
* '''Minsc''': Karlach - do I see you gazing long at Boo? You wish to have a hamster of your own, I think. | |||
* '''Karlach''': I wouldn't say no. But really I was thinking... how old is he, Minsc? | |||
* '''Minsc''': He is quite obviously in his prime. For a miniature giant space hamster. | |||
* '''Karlach''': And he's always looked the exact same? No chance Jaheira's been swapping him out every few years? | |||
* '''Minsc''': Karlach! Minsc and Boo thought better of you, than to be so concerned with looks. | |||
