At low health

Straj. A grievous wound.
This is not how I die.
I cannot take much more of this.

Attacked by party member

Cross me again, and I will end you.

Can't fit in a small hole

I would gladly force somebody else through there, but I don't fit.

Can't fit in a tiny hole

Do you jest? An ooze could barely squeeze through there.

Can't use an item

Not now.

Can't use an item while in combat

Do not distract me from the fight.
Not 'til our enemies are vanquished.
My focus is on the fight.
Slaughtering our enemies takes priority.

Finding a locked item

Locked tight. There must be a way to open it nearby.
No way to open it from here.
It won't budge. Need to look elsewhere.
I need to find a way to unlock it.

Looking at a globe

A poor globe indeed that only shows the world's surface. It requires layers.

Looking at an astrolabe

I read a story once of great fleets doing battle between the stars. I wish it were true.

Looking into a mirror

I am exquisite, as always.
Not a hair out of place.
Tsk. The sun is having an ill effect on my complexion.

Looking into a telescope

Perhaps one day, we will learn to conquer the stars.

Surprised by mimic

Down, Mimic. Heel! Straj - why do they not obey me?
I have a way with mimics. Hold, creature! Hold! Why does it not listen?

After a Short Rest

I hate to rest while our enemies still draw breath.
Come - we are rested enough.
Onward.
No more rest for the wicked.

Straj! I will avenge you.

Player (Dark Urge):

I will avenge you!

Lae'zel! Hold on, child.

Stay with us, Shadowheart. That's an order.

Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

Party Banter

Minthara and Astarion

Minthara: Half the men of Menzoberranzan are pleasure-servants. Weaklings, whose beauty is their only redeeming quality.
Minthara: You would fit right in with them, Astarion.
Astarion: You think I'm beautiful? Oh, Minthara.
Minthara: Hrmmph.

Astarion: So how does Lolth feel about romance? Are you expected to bite your mate's head off afterwards?
Minthara: Be grateful I no longer follow the Spider Queen's teachings. If I did, you would be the first to fall into my web.
Astarion: I can't tell if you're joking. She is joking, right?

(In the Shadow-Cursed Lands)

Minthara: The shadows have lingered here so long, the land itself is corroded. A most persistent curse.
Astarion: I think I know a thing or two about persistent curses, thank you.
Minthara: The rashes and sores you may have contracted over your decades of philandering are not the kind of curse that concerns me.

(At the Thorm Mausoleum)

Astarion: Ah, no shadow curse, plenty of funerary decor - I almost feel at home.
Minthara: Stop gawking at the decor, spawn. This place is dangerous.
Astarion: Yes, as I said - just like home.

(Watching Last Light Inn fallen into Shadow)

Minthara: Devoured by the darkness. They should have retreated while they had the chance.
Astarion: And yet here we stand. We're either very clever or very lucky.
Minthara: You do not need luck to survive, Astarion. Not when you have me.

(After the Fall of Ketheric)

Minthara: Did you expect to survive Myrkul's wrath, little spawn?
Astarion: You'd be surprised, drow. I've survived a lot of things.
Minthara: Greater horrors await us in Baldur's Gate. Best sharpen your fangs.

Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

Minthara: Are you a better man now that you are loved, Astarion? Did they mend your ways?
Astarion: I rather think they did. Can't imagine anyone wanting to do that for you, though dear.

Minthara: Would you ever consider sharing the gift of immortality with me, Astarion?
Astarion: I think not. That is for me and my darling to share.
Minthara: If they have prevented your eyes and fangs from wandering to other necks, it must be a special bond indeed.

Astarion: So, what's it like caring for someone other than yourself, Minthara?
Minthara: You have never tried it, I assume.
Astarion: Gods no. It sounds like a lot of work.
Minthara: It takes less work than you devote to maintaining your foppish facade. And it's far more rewarding.

(At the Bonecloaks)

Astarion: No, this place feels all too 'Underdark'y for me.
Minthara: You are speaking of my home, spawn. It is pleasant to be reminded of it.
Astarion: Oh dear - you're not going to come over all pleasant and homely, are you?
Minthara: To you? Doubtful.

(In Wyrm's Rock)

Astarion: So many dark nooks and crannies - this fortress is a lurker's paradise.
Minthara: Would you not prefer basking in the sun like a lizard now that it no longer blisters your pretty skin?
Astarion: Old habits die hard, darling. Surely you know that.

(In Cazador's Palace)

Minthara: Ominous, yet austere. This place has its charms.
Astarion: We're both learning a lot. Cazador kept this place all to himself.
Minthara: I do not blame him. It is not the sort of place servants or spawn should sully with their presence.

(At the Morphic Pool)

Astarion: We're getting close. I do believe fate is shuffling the cards for the final deal.
Minthara: Let the cards fall. We have a strong hand to play.
Astarion: And speaking personally, I intend to cheat.

Minthara and Gale

(If Gale is romanced)

Minthara: You've been smiling like a fool of late, wizard. Explain yourself.
Gale: I've found love. Surely even you wouldn't begrudge me some happiness.
Minthara: All I will say on the matter is that you were wise to lower your standards from the godly to the ghastly.

(If Minthara is romanced)

Gale: I'm glad to know you have a softer side, Minthara. I was beginning to think you rather heartless.
Minthara: Loving another is not soft, wizard. It is one of the hardest things a person can do.
Gale: So you admit you've found love! How delightful - I'm happy for you both.

Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

(In Rivington)

Gale: Pigeons, gulls, sparrows - these streets make a fine hunting ground for a tressym like Tara.
Minthara: In the Underdark, we have packs of winged hounds to deal with vermin like your precious Tara.
Gale: Flying hounds? Come now - you're pulling my leg, aren't you?
Minthara: Yes I am. It is the bats that would make a meal of her.

(If Gale is romanced)

Minthara: Do you have elder siblings, wizard?
Gale: You're about to say something awful, aren't you?
Minthara: In Menzoberranzan, after a house has two sons, every subsequent male-born child is slaughtered at birth, as it is useless, even for breeding.
Minthara: You have the aura of a third child about you.

(If Minthara is romanced)

Gale: I found an empty bottle of venom in camp, Minthara. Safe to assume it was yours?
Minthara: Indeed. I have been dosing my partner while they sleep by my side.
Minthara: They refuse to take it in their food, but I must build up their immunity in case we ever visit Menzoberranzan together.
Gale: Let's never speak of this again.

Minthara and Karlach

(If Minthara is romanced)

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 Minthara is romanced)

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.

Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

(In the Abandoned Cistern)

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.

(If Karlach is romanced)

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.

(If Karlach is romanced)

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.
