Revision as of 23:34, 26 August 2023
PB_Wyll_Shadowheart_Selune
Synopsis: Wyll asks Shadowheart what her beef is with Selune. Selune drops a bit of Selune/Shar lore in response. Shadowheart is known to be a Shar worshipper.
Condition: Flag SHA_PartyProgress_LeftSharTemple = True (At least one player left Shar's temple.)
Dialogue:
- If Flag ShadowHeart_InParty_Knows_SharWorshipper = True (ShadowHeart_InParty_Knows_SharWorshipperdescription):
- 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...
- END
PB_Astarion_Shadowheart_Temple
Synopsis: Astarion comments on the nice, homey feel of the Shar temple. Shadow Heart responds.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_SharTemple = True (This flag is used as a condition for party banter that should only play when in the temple of Shar)
Dialogue:
- Astarion: I do like it down here. It's nice. Homey.
- If Flag ShadowHeart_InParty_Knows_SharWorshipper = True (ShadowHeart_InParty_Knows_SharWorshipperdescription):
- Shadowheart: This is a dedication to my goddess' power and dark beauty. Homey is not the first word that comes to mind.
- END
- If Flag ShadowHeart_InParty_Knows_SharWorshipper = False (ShadowHeart_InParty_Knows_SharWorshipperdescription):
- Shadowheart: This temple is positively dripping with power and dark beauty - is homey truly the first word that springs to mind?
- END
PB_Astarion_Laezel_ReithwinVillage
Synopsis: Astarion and Laezel discuss Reithwin Village.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Outdoors = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: Just once, I'd like to find a village that hasn't been plundered and destroyed.
- Lae'zel: Indeed. All the best weapons have already been scavenged.
- Astarion: I was thinking about a warm fire and charming company, actually.
- Lae'zel: I am perfectly charming, I'll have you know. On Crèche K'liir, I was known for my dazzling smile and charisma.
- Astarion: Really?
- Lae'zel: No.
PB_Shadowheart_Minthara_ReithwinVillageOutdoors
Synopsis: Banter betweem SH and Minthara in Reithwin village
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Outdoors = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: This place was ruined rather thoroughly. I'm starting to forget what a habitable village looks like.
- Minthara: Your Sharran kin are responsible for this ruin. They purged these lands even before the shadow curse, and pillaged all they could find.
- If Tag SHADOWHEART_SHARPATH = True (Chosen of Shar):
- Shadowheart: No... this must have been due to the battle. Lady Shar's warriors would have little interet in looting...
- Minthara: Come, Shadowheart. Do you think prayers alone can keep an army on the march?
- Shadowheart: Even those devoted to loss fill their pockets and bellies when the chance arises.
- END
- If Tag SHADOWHEART_ENEMYOFSHARPATH = True (Enemy of Shar):
- Shadowheart: Not my kin - not any longer. Their past deeds are not my responsibility.
- END
PB_Wyll_Gale_ReithwinVillageOutdoors
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Outdoors = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Karlach_Shadowheart_ReithwinTown
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Outdoors = True
Dialogue:
- Karlach: Since you're the only one in good form out here, I'll trust you to lead the way, Shadowheart.
- Shadowheart: Actually... I've been stripped of that particular advantage. But I will forge ahead, nonetheless.
- Karlach: Atta girl.
PB_Halsin_Gale_ReithwinTown
Synopsis: PB between Halsin and Gale in Town in SCL
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Outdoors = True
Dialogue:
- Halsin: To think, long ago, the druids feared this market town would grow into a city, and threaten nature's realm... little did we realise what the true threat was.
- Gale: Divination is a skill few can master. The rest of us must simply muddle along, content to view the past with a clarity the future rarely offers.
- Halsin: Perhaps I can yet turn hindsight into foresight - provided the curse is lifted. A better way for all.
PB_Karlach_Gale_Tollhouse
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Tollhouse = True
Dialogue:
- Karlach: Whoa! Almost slipped there.
- Gale: You wouldn't be the first, I'd wager. It's been some time since these walkways felt the carpenter's hammer.
- Karlach: You gonna catch me if I eat a brick?
- Gale: With my reflexes? I'd catch you before you so much as stubbed a toe.
PB_Gale_Wyll_Tollhouse
Synopsis: Gale/Wyll banter at the Tollhouse.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Tollhouse = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Shadowheart_Astarion_Tollhouse
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Astarion
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Tollhouse = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: I have to ask, Astarion. Do people taste different from one another, when you feed?
- Astarion: It all depends. A clean neck certainly helps.
- Shadowheart: Come on, you know I'm talking about their blood.
- Astarion: Of course, there are different vintages. Young noble is wonderful if you can get it, but crone has its charms too.
PB_Laezel_Minthara_HouseOfHealing
Synopsis: Minthara and Lae'zel enter an abandoned hospital. Lae'zel explains githyanki approaches to 'medicine'.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Hospital = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: A waste of space and resources. Gith triage methods obviate the need for such crude facilities.
- Minthara: Tell me about these methods.
- Lae'zel: A githyanki ghustil can summon Astral energy to heal most any wound.
- Lae'zel: If a warrior's lacerations are beyond even their ability, the victim is beheaded.
- Minthara: Efficient. We have much to learn from one another.
PB_Wyll_Gale_HouseOfHealing
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Hospital = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Astarion_Shadowheart_HouseOfHealing
Synopsis: Astarion and Shadowheart discuss House of Healing.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Hospital = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: It's a long time since I was in a house of healing. Gods, it's depressing.
- Shadowheart: I suppose you don't have much use for hospitals... unless you're seeking to steal their blood stock.
- Astarion: True, although I don't heal as fast as I used to. The one downside to the tadpole, I suppose.
- Shadowheart: The one downside? I think you might have stopped the count too soon...
PB_Halsin_Wyll_Brewery
Synopsis: Party banter between Halsin and Wyll on entering the Brewery in TWN
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Distillery = True
Dialogue:
- Halsin: The scent of hops and barley is most persistent here, even after all this time.
- Wyll: Enough to make me thirsty, even. I've always preferred wine to whiskey and ale, but I certainly wouldn't turn away a full flagon right about now.
- 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.
- Wyll: I say we put an end to your dry spell. Once Ketheric falls, the first round's on me.
PB_Karlach_Gale_Brewery
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Distillery = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Astarion_Laezel_Brewery
Synopsis: Astarion and Laezel discuss Brewery.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Distillery = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: Ah, beer. Not really my drink, you know.
- Lae'zel: I know, Astarion. You prefer blood.
- Astarion: Well - yes. It was a joke.
- Lae'zel: I know that, too. It just wasn't funny.
PB_Shadowheart_Wyll_MasonsGuild
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Wyll in a masonry guild.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_MasonsGuild = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: All this stonework has me thinking - would you ever want a statue of yourself, Wyll?
- Wyll: It seems a rather... vain notion to me. But I can't say I haven't thought about it. How about you?
- 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.
PB_Laezel_Astarion_MasonsGuild
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Astarion in Mason's Guild
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_MasonsGuild = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: 'Mason's Guild'. The githyanki would call this a or'mlar: an alliance of mlar.
- Astarion: And what is a 'mlar', exactly?
- Lae'zel: Builders, craftspeople - and the makers of the incomparable silver swords the kith'raki wield in battle.
- Lae'zel: The mlar may not be warriors, but they are no less valuable to my people.
PB_Halsin_Karlach_MasonsGuild
Synopsis: Party banter between Halsin and Karlach at the Mason's Guild
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_MasonsGuild = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Gale_Wyll_MasonsGuild
Synopsis: Gale/Wyll banter at the Mason's Guild.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_MasonsGuild = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Minthara_Laezel_RebelHideoutMasonsGuild
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_MasonsGuild_RebelHideout = True
Dialogue:
- Minthara: How curious. The shadow curse has not touched this place.
- Lae'zel: And by the looks of it, its riches have gone unplundered.
- Minthara: A faultless observation, Lae'zel. Are all githyanki so quick to come to the essential point?
PB_Astarion_Gale_RebelHideout
Synopsis: Astarion and Gale discuss the Rebel Hideout beneath the Mason's Guild
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_MasonsGuild_RebelHideout = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: What's this? A clever little hideaway?
- Gale: Not just clever - rather ingenious. Somehow its construction keeps the Shadow Curse at bay.
- Astarion: A little too clever, if you ask me. Watch out for traps.
PB_Shadowheart_Karlach_RebelHideoutMasonsGuild
Synopsis: banter between SH and Karlach.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_MasonsGuild_RebelHideout = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Shadowheart_Wyll_Tabernacle
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Wyll
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BasiliskGate = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Gale_Astarion_Tabernacle
Synopsis: Gale/Astarion banter at the Basilisk Gate.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BasiliskGate = True
Dialogue:
- Gale: Mystra has a shrine within the city. Located in the Stormshore Tabernacle, if my memory serves me.
- Astarion: Do whatever you need to, but I shan't be paying my respects to any of the gods on show.
- Gale: You never felt the call of the divine, Astarion?
- Astarion: Oh, I tried them all. None of them answered.
PB_Wyll_Jaheira_BasiliskGate
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BasiliskGate = True
Dialogue:
- Wyll: Mercenary they may be, but father always demanded discipline from the Flaming Fist. Seems some grew unruly in his absence.
- Jaheira: Your father made a fine job of polishing them up some - but a sellsword is still a sellsword. They are just following their nature.
- Wyll: And you think the Harpers are more dutiful?
- Jaheira: I should hope so - they certainly don't get paid half so well.
PB_Minthara_Laezel_BasiliskGate
Synopsis: Minthara and Lae'zel comment on the general sense of disorder in the city
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BasiliskGate = True
Condition: Flag GLO_SteelWatchers_State_InBaseState = True (Steel Watcher original state, upholding the Law.)
Dialogue:
- Minthara: There is no true authority in this city. The guards are more degenerate than the criminals.
- Lae'zel: True warriors among the city's Flaming Fist seem exceedingly rare. The worst are mere rats scurrying about their warren.
- Minthara: And what do we do with rats, Lae'zel? We hang them by the tails, and burn their warrens.
PB_Minsc_Astarion_BasiliskGate
Synopsis: Minsc and Astarion bond about being able to walk the streets again.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BasiliskGate = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Ah, but it is a fine thing to walk with friends beneath the warming sun!
- Astarion: Friends' might be a stretch, but otherwise - yes, I fully agree!
- Minsc: You might have your cloudy locks to keep the heat off your head, but do not forget that Minsc has Boo! We will be like twins, eh?
- Astarion: We will? Gods - two hundred years and I've never missed seeing my reflection more.
PB_Astarion_Karlach_BaldursMouth
Synopsis: Astarion and Karlach discuss Elfsong / Baldur's Mouth
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Elfsong = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: Probably best if I keep a low profile. They used to know me all too well in the Elfsong.
- Karlach: Wonder if our paths ever crossed in the before-times. Were you always so sneaky?
- Astarion: I haven't survived for two centuries by being reckless. And I hope to survive at least two more.
- Karlach: Yeah yeah, don't rub it in.
PB_Laezel_Gale_BaldursMouth
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Gale in Elfsong about Baldur's Mouth
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Elfsong = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: Drink, dance, and song. Tu'narath's residents are known to partake in all three. Substantially.
- Gale: Is that so? I assumed there to be little time for frivolity amongst all the fighting.
- Lae'zel: Eternity is long, Gale. Long enough to pursue endeavors beyond combat.
- Lae'zel: Githyanki write symphonies, craft liquors, paint frescos. When they aren't in fierce battle with ghaik, of course.
PB_Gale_Wyll_BaldursMouth
Synopsis: Gale/Wyll banter at the Basilisk Gate.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_ElfsongExterior = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Karlach_Shadowheart_BaldursMouth
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_ElfsongExterior = True
Dialogue:
- Karlach: I wouldn't mind doing a little shopping in the city.
- 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.
- Karlach: I'm ten years behind; don't want the youths to think I'm not, you know, up with the times.
PB_Minsc_Halsin_BaldursMouth
Synopsis: Minsc and Halsin talk about bar brawling
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Elfsong = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: See, Boo? They have made their repairs. The owner once used Boo to mop up her ale, and she and Minsc had a discussion on the matter.
- Halsin: Trouble seems to seek you out, Minsc. I know the feeling - the larger you are, the more likely someone wishes to test themselves against you.
- Minsc: Minsc sometimes wishes he was small as Boo - so that he might sit and listen to the storytellers in peace.
- Halsin: Perhaps you should study the druidic arts - with wildshape, you could make yourself as diminutive as you please. Smaller than Boo, even.
- Minsc: Oh. OHOHOHO.
PB_Laezel_Minthara_NorthAlleys
Synopsis: Lae'zel talks about her home - an asteroid - and Minthara is curious abotu it
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Northalleys = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: Ah - the smell of fresh blood spilled on stone. It reminds me of the tunnels within my home of K'liir.
- Minthara: I would like to visit your home one day, Lae'zel. Where is K'liir?
- Lae'zel: You may know it as Stardock. An asteroid, one of the Tears of Selûne. It's tunnels are home to all manner of creatures to hunt.
- Lae'zel: Vicious, unrelenting. The sort of place I imagine you'd take to, Minthara.
PB_Jaheira_Astarion_NorthAlleys
Synopsis: Jaheira/Astarion Graveyard/North Alley Banter
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Northalleys = True
Dialogue:
- Jaheira: Never mind the shining squares - I am more comfortable on streets such as this. A peek at the true face behind the mask.
- Astarion: Yet another thing we have in common. We're two peas in a pod.
- Jaheira: I said a peek behind the city's mask, Astarion - not a look up its skirts.
- Astarion: Jaheira! What do you think of me?
PB_Gale_Karlach_SorcerousSundries
Synopsis: Gale/Karlach banter at the Sorcerous Sundries.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_SorcerousSundries = True
Dialogue:
- 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: Sounds like more your thing than mine.
PB_Minthara_Shadowheart_SorcerousSundries
Synopsis: Minthara comments on items in Sorcerous Sundries, Shadowheart responds
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_SorcerousSundries = True
Dialogue:
- Minthara: I must admit, some of the items here are quite marvellous.
- Shadowheart: Baldur's Gate prices, though. Not worth it, if you ask me.
- Minthara: I shall be careful not to ask you then, child.
PB_Minsc_Gale_SorcerousSundries
Synopsis: Gale offers protection to Minsc in the Sorcerous Sundries shop
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_SorcerousSundries = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Minsc has never trusted places such as this. Too much of a wizard's power can be simply packaged and picked up.
- Minsc: Well, picked up by all but Minsc. When he touches the many delicate little jars, oh how the wizards shout and stare!
- Gale: Fear not, Minsc. You have a wizard at your side who positively encourages such curiosity. You'll fit right in.
- Minsc: Obliged, wizard. Should we find our way to a weaponsmith, Minsc will rough you up a little - so that you too can fit in.
PB_Halsin_Karlach_SorcerousSundries
Synopsis: Party banter between Halsin and Karlach in Sorcerous Sundries
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_SorcerousSundries = True
Dialogue:
- 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: Haunted poppet, haunted poppet.
PB_Astarion_Minthara_Bonecloaks
Synopsis: Minthara and Astarion banter after entering a home that reminds them of the Underdark
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Bonecloaks = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Gale_Shadowheart_Bonecloaks
Synopsis: Gale/Karlach banter at the Sorcerous Sundries.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Bonecloaks = True
Dialogue:
- Gale: My, my. Well I'll say this for the Bonecloaks - they know their mushrooms.
- Shadowheart: Perhaps they should expand their horizons - too much time obsessing over fungi seems to leave a bit... well, like them.
- Gale: A by-product of their profession. Few can spend a lifetime inhaling fungal spores without turning out a bit muddled between the ears.
PB_Shadowheart_Wyll_DevilFee
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Wyll
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_DevilsFee = True
Dialogue:
- 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?
- Wyll: Could be most anything. Their willingness to torment their travel partners with wisecracks, for example.
PB_Karlach_Jaheira_Bonecloaks
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_DevilsFee = True
Dialogue:
- 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. 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.
PB_Minsc_Wyll_Bonecloaks
Synopsis: Minsc and Wyll enter Devil's Fee
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_DevilsFee = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Who adorned these walls? Better to have hung a mirror, and taken a good long look at themselves.
- Wyll: A bloody display of murderous power. Bhaal means to stoke fear, make us cower.
- Minsc: All it does is make Minsc wonder if Boo has already eaten this villain's eyes.
PB_Shadowheart_Astarion_CazadorsPalace
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Astarion in Cazador's palace.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_CazadorWall = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: So, Astarion. Vampire dens - what should I expect?
- Astarion: Vampires would be a safe bet.
- Shadowheart: Hilarious. You belong on stage - perhaps the bloodstained sort, with a hooded man standing by, axe in hand.
- Astarion: So long as there's a cheering crowd. As for vampire dens, I'd brace your nose. They can be very... organic.
PB_Gale_Laezel_CazadorsPalace
Synopsis: Gale/Laezel banter in Cazador's Palace.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_CazadorHall = True
Dialogue:
- Gale: I always wondered what a vampire's lair would look like. Can't say I pictured it being quite this... theatrical.
- Lae'zel: I find it surprisingly similar to Queen Vlaakiths aesthetic.
- Gale: That makes sense. She does have a flair for the dramatic.
PB_Minthara_Astarion_CazadorsPalace
Synopsis: Astarion and Minthara explore Cazador's palace
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_CazadorDungeon = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Minsc_Jaheira_CazadorsPalace
Synopsis: Minsc and Jaheira enter Cazador's Palace
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_CazadorHall = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: If Minsc had any hairs on his head, this place would set them all a-standing. And look how Boo's bunches his hackles!
- Jaheira: We three have come through darker places than this together, Minsc.
- Jaheira: And hamsters don't have hackles.
- Minsc: Does Jaheira not set your heart at ease, Boo? It is comforting, to know that one so wise can be so wrong.
PB_Astarion_Wyll_BloomridgePark
Synopsis: Astarion and Wyll discuss Bloomridge Park
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BloomridgePark = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
- Astarion: Oh, I was going to say it looks wretched. The dark hid all the kitschy details.
PB_Laezel_Gale_BloomridgePark
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Gale in Bloomridge Park
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BloomridgePark = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: These children and their pets lack discipline. Were they githyanki, I'd recommend further training.
- Gale: Not everyone approaches the raising of their young with such militaristic vigour.
- Lae'zel: That is the very purpose of training - to determine which children shall be warriors, and which are suited to other roles.
- Lae'zel: As for the unruly animals - they would make for nutritious marching rations.
- Gale: That's certainly one way to make them behave...
PB_Karlach_Shadowheart_BloombridgePark
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BloomridgePark = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Wyll_ShadowHeart_BloomridgePark
Synopsis: banter between SH and Wyll in a park.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BloomridgePark = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Minsc_Jaheira_BloomridgePark
Synopsis: Minsc and Jaheira enter Bloomridge Park
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BloomridgePark = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: All of these statues - could they, too, be heroes all? Frozen in stone until the city has need of them?
- Jaheira: The Harpers keep records of those who fought for the city - I think I would recall mention of a bare-assed little cherub in all our story and song.
- Minsc: Well. Boo would also think you would have noticed when Minsc himself was frozen for over a century.
- Jaheira: ... do you know, I had forgotten just how catty your hamster can be.
PB_Shadowheart_Gale_BlushingMermaid
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Gale in a tavern in Baldur's Gate.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BlushingMermaid = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: Not too downmarket of an establishment for you I hope, Gale?
- Gale: Not at all. Why, some of the finest artists and musicians began their careers amidst stale beer and sticky floors.
- Gale: There is poetry to be found in even the dingiest of holes.
- Shadowheart: Remind me to not attend any poetry recitals with you.
PB_Astarion_Laezel_BlushingMermaid
Synopsis: Astarion and Laezel discuss Blushing Mermaid
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BlushingMermaid = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: Ah. This place never changes.
- Lae'zel: Perhaps it should. All I see are carousing fools.
- Astarion: I know, isn't it wonderful? Endless opportunities for mischief.
PB_Karlach_Gale_BlushingMermaid
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BlushingMermaid = True
Dialogue:
- Karlach: Man, it's good to be home. First round on who?
- Gale: She who thirsts buys drinks the first.
- Karlach: You won't pin me down with a rhyme, wizard!
- Gale: She who declines gets the worst of the wines.
PB_Wyll_Astarion_BlushingMermaid
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BlushingMermaid = True
Dialogue:
- 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...
- 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.
PB_Minsc_Jaheira_BlushingMermaid
Synopsis: Minsc and Jaheira enter Blushing Mermaid
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BlushingMermaid = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Jaheira, Minsc's memory of his last time in this taproom is a little... fuzzy. Did he...?
- Jaheira: Fear not, Rashemaar. It has never been your way to over-indulge.
- Jaheira: But you did offend one of my contacts by letting Boo paddle around in her tankard. Pewter, I believe - she cracked it over your head.
- Minsc: Oh, praise the Three! Minsc was afraid he had shamed myself. I will, eh, leave a penny at the bar.
- Jaheira: Best leave two. I cracked her with my own, afterward. She was drinking grog - Boo's backside could only have improved it.
PB_Halsin_Karlach_BlushingMermaid
Synopsis: Party banter between Halsin and Karlach in Blushing Mermaid
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BlushingMermaid = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Astarion_Jaheira_BaldursGate
Synopsis: Astarion and Jaheira discuss Baldur's Gate / Figaro
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BaldursGate = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: Beyond that gate is the Upper City, housing the great and the good of Baldur's Gate.
- Jaheira: You yearn for a better class of company, Astarion?
- Astarion: Gods no - who'd want to spend time with anyone great or good?
PB_Halsin_Karlach_Lodge
Synopsis: Party banter for Halsin and Karlach at the Lodge in Lower City
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Lodge = True
Condition: Flag LOW_TheLodge_State_PlayerNotSeenMassacre = True (The player has not seen the massacre in the Lodge.)
Dialogue:
- 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...
PB_Gale_Shadowheart_Lodge
Synopsis: Gale/Shadowheart banter in the Lodge.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Lodge = True
Condition: Flag LOW_TheLodge_State_PlayerNotSeenMassacre = True (The player has not seen the massacre in the Lodge.)
Dialogue:
- Gale: The Society of Brilliance has quite the reputation. Even Waterdhavian academics refer to their works from time to time.
- Shadowheart: They talk a great deal but do very little. Which may be for the best.
- Gale: I take it you're not inclined to study the wonders of the underdark?
- Shadowheart: Its inhabitants and cultures? Maybe. Its fungi and cave slime? No thank you.
PB_Minthara_Laezel_Lodge
Synopsis: Minthara and Lae'zel comment on the Society of Brilliance
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Lodge = True
Condition: Flag LOW_TheLodge_State_PlayerNotSeenMassacre = True (The player has not seen the massacre in the Lodge.)
Dialogue:
- Minthara: The Society of Brilliance! These preposterous fools love to meddle in Underdark affairs - they are most amusing.
- Lae'zel: Amusing? Wherein lies the humour?
- Minthara: They seek to promote peace between species through mutual understanding. Ha.
- Lae'zel: Even my people know the value of a carefully crafted coalition, Minthara. Is our own alliance not a case in point?
PB_Minsc_Wyll_Lodge
Synopsis: Minsc and Wyll talk about the statue of Balduran at the Lodge
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Lodge = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Who is this large man of sternness and stone? Boo mislikes his look - as if he is knowing things that Minsc is not.
- If Flag WYR_DaisyEmperorBalduran_PlayerKnowsBalduranIdentity = True (Players know that the Emperor is/was Balduran before becoming a mind flayer):
- Wyll: It's Balduran. Our city's valorant founder - and now, the illithid we carry in that gods-forsaken prism.
- Minsc: Ah. Then Minsc and Boo prefer him this way. Better stern than smug.
- END
- Wyll: Relax, the both of you - it's Balduran, our city's valorant founder.
- Minsc: Ahh, this makes more sense! Some relation to the Baldur who owns the gate perhaps, Boo?
PB_Astarion_Jaheira_OskarsBeloved
Synopsis: Astarion and Jaheira discuss the area where Jaheira lives (or something like that).
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Jaheiras = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: Cazazdor always warned us to stay clear of this neighbourhood. Never said why, though.
- Jaheira: The last spawn who tried was sunk into the cobblestones and left for the sun to find. I had an unfortunate taste for theatrics, in my youth.
- Astarion: Ah. Yes, that was probably it.
PB_Laezel_Karlach_OskarsBeloved
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Karlach in Jaheira's/Oskar's Beloved
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Jaheiras = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Shadowheart_Wyll_UpperTracks
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Wyll
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_HarborviewPark = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: Amazing how the city can seem almost peaceful at times, knowing all that goes on out there.
- Wyll: 'All that goes on'?
- If Tag SHADOWHEART_SHARPATH = True (Chosen of Shar):
- 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 be the opposite: there are people out there celebrating their lives' best moment.
- Wyll: A wedding to their betrothed, a new baby, a windfall... the taste of an exquisite pudding...
- END
- 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...
- Wyll: If that's true, then so must be the opposite: there are people out there celebrating their lives' best moment.
- Wyll: A wedding to their betrothed, a new baby, a windfall... the taste of an exquisite pudding...
PB_Laezel_Gale_UpperTracks
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Gale in Harborview Park/Upper Tracks
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_HarborviewPark = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: These flowers are quite vivid - not to mention, pungent. Not to my liking.
- Gale: Are there no flowers in Tu'narath?
- Lae'zel: In the City of Death, the mlar cultivate the fruiting bodies that sprout from the corpses of the slain.
- Gale: I'd rather get them from my florist in Waterdeep, if it's all the same to you.
PB_Minsc_Astarion_UpperTracks
Synopsis: Minsc doesn't like statues
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_HarborviewPark = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Oh, I do not know, Boo. If you buried the nuts here before we were stone, I am thinking they might have gone bad.
- Astarion: Minsc! Enough! The hamster isn't saying a damn thing and you know it.
- Minsc: Well, Astarion. Boo is of good breeding, and so only speaks when he has something nice to say.
- Minsc: Perhaps this is why he has never seen fit to speak to you.
- Astarion: How delightfully vicious. I'm beginning to like the hamster.
PB_Halsin_Jaheira_Park
Synopsis: Party banter between halsin and Jaheira in the Lower city Park
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_HarborviewPark = True
Dialogue:
- Halsin: Ah, a glimpse of nature. Like a sip of water to parched lips, eh, Jaheira?
- Jaheira: Baldurians think all druids to be hay-haired idlers, Halsin. Perhaps we ought not speak of nature - but high art, or politics?
- Halsin: I think on them also. But nothing matches the splendour of an ancient tree.
- Jaheira: It is so. And, should one favour bear-form, that tree in particular makes for excellent back-scratching...
PB_Laezel_Astarion_Steelwatch
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Astarion in Steelwatch Foundry
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Foundry = True
Condition: Flag GLO_SteelWatchers_State_InBaseState = True (Steel Watcher original state, upholding the Law.)
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: These Steel Watchers are impressive achievements. Worthy opponents, even for githyanki.
- Astarion: In that case, I'll leave fighting them to you. So I can observe your technique.
- Lae'zel: I'm sure you'll find it instructive. Or do you simply want to avoid risking your pallid neck?
- Astarion: Perish the thought - we're comrades in arms! I will be right behind you.
PB_Gale_Shadowheart_SteelWatch
Synopsis: Gale/Shadowheart banter in the Steel Watch Foundry.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Foundry = True
Dialogue:
- Gale: Gondian artificers might lack a certain worldly wisdom, but there's no doubting they're masters of their craft.
- Shadowheart: You're a child at heart, Gale, admiring wind-up toys and clockwork trinkets.
- Gale: I admire any who follow their curiosity to novel and unexpected means. This is how the world changes for the better.
PB_Karlach_Jaheira_SteelWatch
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Foundry = True
Condition: Flag GLO_SteelWatchers_State_InBaseState = True (Steel Watcher original state, upholding the Law.)
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Wyll_Laezel_SteelWatchFoundry
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Foundry = True
Condition: Flag LOW_SteelWatchFoundry_State_Standing = True (The Steel Watch Foundry is standing)
Dialogue:
- 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 mlars 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.
PB_Halsin_Shadowheart_SteelWatchFoundry
Synopsis: Party banter for Halsin and Astarion at the Steel Watch Foundry
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Foundry = True
Condition: Flag GLO_SteelWatchers_State_InBaseState = True (Steel Watcher original state, upholding the Law.)
Dialogue:
- Halsin: The birthing ground of those steel monstrosities. I would feel little sorrow if this place should close forever.
- Shadowheart: Oh come on, you have to be at least a little impressed by the craftsmanship. There's only so much you can do with wood.
- Halsin: Not so, in my experience. There is little I cannot whittle.
- Shadowheart: Did you do that on purpose...?
PB_Halsin_Astarion_WaterQueen
Synopsis: Party banter between Halsin and Astarion in the Water Queens House
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_WaterQueensHouse = True
Dialogue:
- Halsin: What do you know of Umberlee, Astarion?
- Astarion: Oh, lots. Rhymes with 'under-sea' for one thing. Fitting, eh?
- Halsin: I... I suppose it is, yes. But perhaps do not refer to her as such - she is a vengeful, capricious goddess. Who knows what may cause her ire.
- Astarion: But she's fine with 'the Bitch Queen'? Give her some credit, Halsin.
PB_Shadowheart_Wyll_WaterQueen
Synopsis: banter between SH and Wyll
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_WaterQueensHouse = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: Umberlee - a brutal goddess, from what I understand. Without even the slightest touch of subtlety to her.
- Wyll: Subtlety isn't exactly your forte, given how you've strolled about wearing a circlet inset with Shar's symbol.
- If Tag SHADOWHEART_SHARPATH = True (Chosen of Shar):
- 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.
- Shadowheart: Besides... it suits me.
- Wyll: On that matter, you'll hear no argument from me.
- END
- Shadowheart: You'd be surprised how people can miss what's in plain sight. I missed the fact that Shar was deceiving me. Besides, I have a new look now. Suits me, I think.
- Wyll: On that matter, you'll hear no argument from me.
PB_Minsc_Gale_WaterQueen
Synopsis: Minsc remembers how he tried to blow the Waterdeep conch
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_WaterQueensHouse = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Umberlee - her clerics possess a nasty streak as wide as her oceans.
- Gale: So their reputation suggests - especially among the good folk of Waterdeep. I'm curious to learn how you fell foul of them...
- Minsc: 'Blasphemy', said the temple priestess. But Minsc says: do not give horns to your statues if you do not wish the visitors to try and make them toot.
- Gale: Yes, that would probably do it.
PB_Laezel_Gale_WaterqueensHouse
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Gale in Waterqueen's House
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_WaterQueensHouse = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: Githyanki gish sail skiffs through the Astral Sea, an ocean far larger than Umberlee's.
- Gale: Does the Astral Sea come with an equally irritable goddess?
- If Flag ORI_Laezel_State_IsOnOrpheusPath = False (Set if Laezel is currently on the Orpheus Path):
- Lae'zel: Vlaakith holds dominion over the entire plane. And she is not 'irritable' - she is ruthless.
- END
- Lae'zel: Vlaakith holds dominion over the entire plane. And 'irritable' does not even begin to describe her.
PB_Karlach_Jaheira_WaterqueensHouse
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_WaterQueensHouse = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Jaheira_Laezel_Docks
Synopsis: Jaheira/Lae'zel North Docks/Warehouse Party Banter
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_NorthDocks = True
Dialogue:
- Jaheira: Ugh. I have no love for the sea, but the city would not be what it is without these ships. That lends them a kind of beauty, I suppose.
- Lae'zel: Indeed. There is no more impressive sight than a githyanki spelljammer with its astral sails unfurled.
- Jaheira: A sweeter sight still, the world those ships might make if you plied them between the planes. Interplanar learning, trade...
- Lae'zel: Trade? Why stoop to barter when you have the power to take what you need?
PB_Karlach_Astarion_Docks
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_NorthDocks = True
Dialogue:
- Karlach: Can you swim, Astarion?
- Astarion: I'm... not sure, honestly. It's been a couple of hundred years.
- Karlach: You're missing out! Loved it as a kid. This water looks nasty as hell, though.
- Astarion: Well, it's not called 'Grey Harbour' for nothing.
PB_Wyll_Shadowheart_Warehouse
Synopsis: Banter between Wyll and SH
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_NorthDocks = True
Dialogue:
- 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.'
- If Flag GLO_Ravengard_State_Defeated = True (Ravengard is defeated):
- Shadowheart: The pinnacle of good trash - even I can't forget that one too easily. Your father was a man of fine taste.
- END
- Shadowheart: The pinnacle of good trash - even I can't forget that one too easily. Your father is man of fine taste.
PB_Shadowheart_Astarion_CountingHouse
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Astarion in the counting house (bank) of Baldur's Gate.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_CountingHouse = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: I don't suppose you really have much use for gold, do you, Astarion?
- Astarion: It's not required, but it is nice to have. It buys any number of ways to keep life interesting.
- Shadowheart: Go on then, coyness isn't in your nature. What would you do with unlimited funds?
- Astarion: Let's just say blood tastes better from a gold goblet, and silk bedsheets improve any night-time activity.
PB_Gale_Karlach_CountingHouse
Synopsis: Gale/Karlach banter in the Counting House.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_CountingHouse = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Wyll_Jaheira_CountingHouse
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_CountingHouse = True
Dialogue:
- Wyll: I was barely eight years of age when I heard the Counting House held mythical treasure.
- Wyll: So curious little Wyll tried to slip in. The guard spotted me straight away and dragged me by the collar back to my father.
- Jaheira: A talking-to from the Grand Marshal himself. Quite the introduction to a life of crime - what did he say?
- Wyll: Oh, he pretended to be cross. But there was no hiding the sly grin that crept on his face.
PB_Halsin_Laezel_CountingHouse
Synopsis: Party banter between Halsin and Lae'zel at the Counting House
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_CountingHouse = True
Dialogue:
- Halsin: Such hoarding of wealth. A tomb for riches that could be put to better use.
- Lae'zel: I've heard the same said of bears - the kind you take the shape of. They hoard, gorge, and hibernate through hard times.
- Halsin: True... but only until the thaw, then life goes on. This gold may never see daylight again, while others go cold and hungry.
PB_Laezel_Gale_FelogyrsFireworks
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Gale in Felogyr's Fireworks
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Fireworks = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: Fireworks - a particularly gnomish field of art, no?
- Gale: Indeed. More than simple craft, it's a way of life for some of them.
- Lae'zel: That may explain why most gnomes possess such short fuses.
- Gale: Lae'zel! Was that a joke?
- Lae'zel: Only if you found it funny.
PB_Karlach_Astarion_FelogyrsFireworks
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Fireworks = True
Dialogue:
- Karlach: Oh man! WHIZBANGS!
- Astarion: Keep calm, Karlach. One bad flare and you could blow this whole place.
- Karlach: (Oh man! Whizbangs!)
- Astarion: Better.
PB_Minthara_Shadowheart_FelogyrsFireworks
Synopsis: Minthara comments on the smokepowder used to make fireworks, Shadowheart responds
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Fireworks = True
Dialogue:
- Minthara: Amusing as it is to provide children with such lethal toys, surely there are better uses for this powder?
- Shadowheart: Plenty. They can make for excellent distractions, should you need to make a quick exit.
- Shadowheart: Partly why the Ducal Council controls supply - trying to keep the whizz-bangs out of nefarious hands.
- Minthara: The Ducal Council must have sprung a leak, for we seem to find barrels of the stuff everywhere.
PB_Minsc_Halsin_FelogyrsFireworks
Synopsis: Minsc and Halsin walk into a fireworks shop
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Fireworks = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Bah. Boo says the many colours remind him of home, but Minsc has never enjoyed these fireworks.
- Halsin: They may have their purposes. You could cast fireballs of sorts, without having to spend years studying magic tomes.
- Minsc: ...Archdruid. You are as formidable in mind as you are in muscle.
- Minsc: Gather the sparking sticks, Boo! With sword in one hand and these in the other, we need truck with wizards no more!
PB_Shadowheart_Astarion_Philgraves
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Astartion in Philgrave Mansion.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Philgraves = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: A distinct whiff of undeath to this place... though curious, I can't say I've ever noticed the same about you, Astarion.
- Astarion: My 'whiff' is very faint, thank you - nothing a little bergamot, rosemary, and a hint of aged brandy can't hide.
- Astarion: It's the perfect olfactory disguise for a corpse. Honestly, I missed my calling as a perfumer.
- Shadowheart: You've clearly thought this through a great deal. I'm impressed and appalled in equal measure.
PB_Gale_Laezel_Philgraves
Synopsis: Gale/Laezel banter in Cazador's Palace.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Philgraves = True
Dialogue:
- Gale: There's magic here, but it's of a rancid, impure form. Nothing like the true Weave at all.
- Lae'zel: This is why I appreciate a sharp blade to a ball of fire or a bolt of lightning. The Weave is inconsistent, unruly.
- Gale: The Weave is constant, but it's users? Anything but. We must be on our guard.
- Lae'zel: A githyanki warrior hardly needs to be told that.
PB_Wyll_Halsin_PhilgraveMansion
Synopsis: Banter between Wyll and Halsin in a creepy mansion.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Philgraves = True
Dialogue:
- Wyll: Father always shooed me away from this place. 'More rats than a Waterdeep dungeon.'
- Halsin: It is most unfair to pour such scorn on rats - they have their place in nature, same as you or I.
- Wyll: And I don't get the sense that my father was being literal.
PB_Laezel_Wyll_EasternDocks
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Wyll at the Eastern Docks (Sahuagin)
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Sahuagin = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Minsc_Astarion_EasternDocks
Synopsis: Minsc and Astarion talk about fish
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Sahuagin = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: ASTARION! FISH! ASTARION!
- Astarion: Minsc, please - slow down. Use your words.
- Minsc: Minsc has thought how you might be a more virtuous vampire - feast on fish instead. They are made of naught but neck!
- Astarion: It's a sweet thought, but fish just doesn't have the flavour of full-blooded red meat.
- Minsc: No, you do not 'agree', Boo. I told you you have been spending far too much time around the pale one...
PB_Astarion_Shadowheart_Guildhall_Entrance
Synopsis: Astarion and Shadowheart discuss Guildhall Entrance.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_GuildhallEntrance = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: What a delightfully secluded alley. I would have been in my element here, once.
- Shadowheart: But you consort with a better class of people now, right?
- Astarion: A different class of person. And a different type of consorting.
- Shadowheart: Let's just stop this conversation right here, shall we?
PB_Wyll_Jaheira_GuildhallEntrance
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_GuildhallEntrance = True
Dialogue:
- Wyll: Odd - I'd expect a Flaming Fist or four to be stationed nearby.
- Jaheira: They stick to sunnier streets. Heavens forbid they disrupt any of that Guild business they're so well-paid to ignore, hm?
- Wyll: The Fist aren't what they used to be.
- Jaheira: I grieve to tell you, Wyll, they never were.
PB_Minsc_Karlach_GuildhallEntrance
Synopsis: Minsc and Karlach apprach the Guildhall entrance
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_GuildhallEntrance = True
Dialogue:
- 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 Flag ORI_Minsc_State_PartneredWithNineFingers = True (After the confrontation at the Guildhall - Minsc spared NineFingers and grudgingly agreed to work with her.):
- 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.
- END
- Minsc: Minsc means to do no working. When he breaks the guildmaster, it will be for the fun of it alone.
PB_Astarion_Shadowheart_Guildhall
Synopsis: Astarion and Shadowheart discuss Guildhall
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Guildhall = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: Well, well. The fabled haunt of Nine-Fingers Keene.
- Shadowheart: Never visited before? I thought you got around.
- Astarion: I always steered clear. If Guild members started disappearing, people would start asking questions. And Cazador hated questions.
- Shadowheart: Understandable, when the answer is invariably 'the silver-haired one ate them'.
PB_Laezel_Minthara_Guildhall
Synopsis: Minthara and Lae'zel enter the guildhall, spoiling for a fight
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Guildhall = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: Two sides, each itching to draw blades against the other.
- Minthara: The sensation is contagious. Which should we oppose?
- Lae'zel: Either or both, so long as I get to spill blood.
PB_Karlach_Halsin_Guildhall
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Guildhall = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Wyll_Gale_Guildhall
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Guildhall = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Jaheira_Minsc_Guildhall
Synopsis: Jaheira/Minsc Guildhall banter
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Guildhall = True
Condition: Flag LOW_Guildhall_State_NotMetNineFingers = True (None of the players have talked to Nine-Fingers yet.)
Dialogue:
- Jaheira: If Nine-Fingers survived the fray, she will be right back to work in there. We ought to speak to her.
- Minsc: She has you in her thrall, Jaheira. Minsc will still her serpent tongue, before it has a chance to twine around your thoughts!
- Jaheira: That, she will definitely have something to say about.
PB_Shadowheart_Wyll_AbandonedCistern
Synopsis: SH Wyll banter
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_AbandonedCistern = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: You know what would be nice, just for a change? Venturing through a sun-dappled vineyard, or a gleaming palace.
- 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.
PB_Minthara_Karlach_AbandonedCistern
Synopsis: Minthara and Karlach explore the sewers beneath Baldur's Gate
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_AbandonedCistern = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Astarion_Gale_GeneralSewers
Synopsis: Astarion and Gale discuss the General Sewers.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Sewers = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: I gave my return to Baldur's Gate a lot of thought. I never pictured this, though.
- Gale: What did you have in mind? A quiet party, toasting your return with a few good friends?
- Astarion: Less 'quiet party with friends', more 'days of hedonistic debauchery'. But otherwise, yes.
- Gale: Sounds like a recipe for disaster. But you know what? I'm learning to enjoy the taste of chaos. Count me in.
PB_Laezel_Wyll_GeneralSewers
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Wyll in the Sewers (General)
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Sewers = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Minsc_Jaheira_GeneralSewers
Synopsis: Minsc and Jaheira enter the sewers
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Sewers = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: AH! The smell of adventure, in the very heart of the city!
- Jaheira: The city's lower intestine, perhaps.
- Minsc: Better yet! What swifter way to strike at evil's butt than to crawl through its innards?
PB_Wyll_Jaheira_UndercityRuins
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_UndercityRuins = True
Dialogue:
- Wyll: My first visit to the undercity. A haven for undead, or so my tutors said.
- Jaheira: Shadow people roaming shadow streets. There's little more to learn down here but some depressing ways to die.
PB_Minsc_Karlach_UndercityRuins
Synopsis: Minsc, previously Stone Lord of the Abandoned Cistern, thinks sewers are for bad people.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_UndercityRuins = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Shadowheart_Wyll_BhaalTemple
Synopsis: Banter between SH and Gale (not Wyll)
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BhaalTemple = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: Why must the Dead Three be so obvious and ugly with their decor? Blood and bones. Bones and blood. Pointy nonsense. At least Shar had some panache.
- Gale: As did Mystra's home on Elysium. Her ribbed vaults and buttresses created a magic entirely of their own. Not to mention her pleasure domes...
- Shadowheart: Heh. 'Pleasure dome'.
- Gale: It's a perfectly legitimate architectural feature!
PB_Astarion_Laezel_BhaalTemple
Synopsis: Astarion and Laezel discuss Bhaal Temple
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BhaalTemple = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: I expected a temple to murder would be more fun. A little joyous, even.
- Lae'zel: There's no greater pleasure than battle. You face your enemy and conquer them, blade to blade, spell to spell.
- Lae'zel: But to take a life unawares is no more to be celebrated than plunging a dagger into a trapped rat.
- Astarion: Oh, I don't know - I've killed plenty of rats. I celebrated every time.
PB_Gale_Jaheira_BhaalTemple
Synopsis: Gale/Jaheira banted in Bhaal Temple.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BhaalTemple = True
Dialogue:
- Gale: Gods, who knew such a vile abcess lurked in the bedrock of the city. The very stone reeks of misery and despair.
- Jaheira: A sad shrine kept by the lunatic and the lost. The last time I was here, I promised myself I would die beneath open sky. I have not changed my mind.
- Gale: Nor should you. Far better to feel a cool breeze on your skin than whatever foul expirations blow through these halls.
PB_Karlach_Minsc_BhaalTemple
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_BhaalTemple = True
Dialogue:
- Karlach: What a pesthole! Can't wait to clear this place out.
- Minsc: There will be much trading of threats and insults, no doubt. But Minsc will be ready when it is time for boot to meet butt.
- Karlach: You and me both, pal.
PB_Karlach_Laezel_HouseOfHope
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_HouseOfHope = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Minsc_Gale_HouseOfHope
Synopsis: Minsc and Gale enter House of Hope
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_HouseOfHope = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Gale! You will perhaps able to explain where Boo has not - what exactly is the difference between a devil and a demon?
- Gale: A fascinating question, one that boils down to which criteria we choose to apply. Are we speaking about the physiological? Theological? Etymological?
- Minsc: Eh. Just how-to-kill... -ical.
- Gale: Oh. Then for your purposes, they are exactly the same.
PB_Karlach_Wyll_CountingHouse
Synopsis: Counting House Docks
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_CountingHousedocks = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Wyll_Karlach_SouthDocks
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_SouthDocks = True
Dialogue:
- Wyll: Smell that, Karlach?
- Karlach: Uh... fish?
- Wyll: Well, yes. But also trouble.
- Karlach: Your nose is better than mine, pal.
PB_Karlach_Wyll_NorthAlleys
Synopsis: North Alleys (near Graveyard)
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_LOW_Northalleys = True
Dialogue:
- 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?
PB_Astarion_Laezel_Rivington
Synopsis: Astarion and Laezel discuss Rivington
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_Rivington = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: I used to like this neighbourhood. It was quieter than inside the walls - darker too.
- Lae'zel: A good hunting ground, then?
- Astarion: Oh, yes - slimmer pickings, but safer targets. The perfect place to learn the craft.
PB_Laezel_Gale_Rivington
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Gale in Rivington
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_Rivington = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: Cowards at every turn in this community. In githyanki society, they would be retrained - or culled.
- Gale: Condoning the slaughter of the weak? Not the most charitable perspective to take.
- Lae'zel: I am observing, not condoning. A meaningful difference.
PB_Gale_Minthara_Rivington
Synopsis: Minthara teases Gale about his flying cat Tara, who is hunting in the city
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_Rivington = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Karlach_Astarion_Rivington
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_RefugeeCamp = True
Dialogue:
- Karlach: Nice to be in a crowd of normal people for once.
- Astarion: Really? I prefer my company extraordinary.
- Karlach: Aww, thanks.
- Astarion: Don't thank me, thank Gortash.
- Karlach: Excuse you. I didn't need that prick to make me who I am.
- Astarion: You're right, of course. Forgive me.
- Karlach: All good, fangs.
PB_Minthara_Shadowheart_Rivington
Synopsis: Minthara and Shadowheart discuss refugees and exiles
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_RefugeeCamp = True
Dialogue:
- Minthara: The excess of refugees outside the city walls could easily become a surplus of labourers.
- Shadowheart: Careful, Minthara. As a drow exile, you could be classed as a refugee yourself. Not volunteering, I take it?
- Minthara: I am a daughter of House Baenre. I obey no authority except my own desires.
- Shadowheart: I can think of a least one wriggly stowaway who might dispute that...
PB_Karlach_Wyll_Riverbank
Synopsis: Rivington (along riverbank)
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_RiverBank = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Shadowheart_Wyll_WyrmSouth
Synopsis: Banter between Shadowheart and Wyll.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_SouthSpanEntrance = True
Dialogue:
- 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 never was one to sow my wild oats.
PB_Wyll_Laezel_WC_SouthSpan
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_SouthSpanEntrance = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Minsc_Wyll_WC_SouthSpan
Synopsis: Minsc remembers when Danthelon's was called Armstrong's Arms. Bought a good sword there back in the day.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_Danthelon = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: Danthelon's Dancing Axe...? Minsc would sooner fight with a sword - even an annoying one, which talks out of turn.
- Wyll: I'm surprised you're so fond of swords. A battleaxe would seem more suitable for a man of your... stature.
- Minsc: The sword is simpler - only one point, so you know which end the evil goes on! But I suppose a warrior must wield whatever weapon he can.
- Minsc: Sword, axe, boot... Minsc once choked an ogre with its own loincloth. The smell might be the closest I have come to tasting of death myself.
PB_Jaheira_Shadowheart_WyrmSouth
Synopsis: Jaheira/Shadowheart Party Banter at Wyrm's Crossing South
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_SouthSpanEntrance = True
Dialogue:
- Jaheira: Wyrm's Crossing. This place has been a haven, when Harpers were less than welcome in the city proper.
- Shadowheart: Seems hard to imagine your efforts haven't always been appreciated.
- Jaheira: Oh, a Harper does not go in for public acclaim. We work in shadow and secrecy, tragically unacknowledged by the ungrateful herd.
- If Tag SHADOWHEART_ENEMYOFSHARPATH = True (Enemy of Shar):
- Shadowheart: Hmph, sounds familiar.
- END
- Shadowheart: Lady Shar's children toil similarly... but we know there is no need to seek the favour of others. Our lady's love is all we need.
PB_Halsin_Gale_WyrmsRock
Synopsis: Party banter between Halsin and Gale on seeing Wyrm's Rock
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_WyrmsRock = True
Dialogue:
- Halsin: Brickwork and stonework - this place is far out of balance with nature. But the Oak Father will reclaim this all, eventually.
- Gale: Not too soon, I hope. I've a craving for a soft bed, a hot bath and a large glass of Arabellan Dry - none of which I've ever found hidden under a log.
- Halsin: You may thrive, but what of other life? A city is no place for wild creatures.
- Gale: City's teem with life. Rats, pigeons, flies - they count no less, for all their more pestilent qualities.
PB_Astarion_Minthara_WyrmsRock
Synopsis: Minthara and Astarion enter a dungeon beneath Baldur's Gate.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_WyrmsRock = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Laezel_Karlach_WyrmsRock
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Karlach in Wyrms Rock
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_WyrmsRock = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Karlach_Laezel_WyrmsRock
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_WyrmsRock = True
Dialogue:
- 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?
- Karlach: C'mon, isn't there something you hate for no good reason?
- Lae'zel: Hm. I dislike owls. Their hyper-mobile necks are quite disconcerting.
- Karlach: You know what, Lae? I couldn't agree more.
PB_Wyll_Astarion_WyrmsRock
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_WyrmsRock = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
- 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.
PB_Astarion_Wyll_Wyrmway
Synopsis: Astarion and Wyll discuss Wyrmway
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_Wyrmway = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Minthara_Shadowheart_Wyrmway
Synopsis: Minthara and Shadowheart talk in an underground dungeon
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_Wyrmway = True
Dialogue:
- Minthara: What sweet relief to shelter from the sky for a while.
- Shadowheart: Sunlight giving you a headache? You're not supposed to stare right into it, you know.
- Minthara: That was due to your insipid conversation, half-elf.
PB_Minsc_Wyll_Wyrmway
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_WYR_WyrmwayPuzzles = True
Dialogue:
- Minsc: A puzzle, is it? Boo is most adept at their solving - no matter where Minsc hides the nuts, Boo is always able to sniff them out!
- Gale: I'm rather a dab hand myself when it comes to a spot of intellectual intrigue...
- Minsc: The nuts are in my pocket, wizard. Please do not go patting at Minsc's person.
PB_Shadowheart_Astarion_MountainPass
Synopsis: Banter between Shadowheart and Astarion in the mountain pass region.
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_MountainPass = True
Dialogue:
- Shadowheart: I didn't exactly dress for hiking mountains. Shame we couldn't procure some pack mules, or horses.
- Astarion: Horses? Perish the thought - those ill-tempered beasts are prone to biting.
- Shadowheart: Well, so are you, but we keep you around, don't we?
- Astarion: And I'm not offering any rides, if that's what you're thinking.
PB_Astarion_Karlach_MountainPass
Synopsis: Astarion and Karlach discuss the mountain pass
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_MountainPass = True
Dialogue:
- Astarion: Gods, how are we not there yet? My feet are killing me.
- Karlach: Want me to carry you?
- Astarion: Oh, darling, would you?
- Karlach: Sure! If you promise to swap once I get tired.
- Astarion: Please, I can barely manage my pack - you'd kill me.
PB_Laezel_Shadowheart_MountainPass
Synopsis: Banter between lae'zel and SH
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_MountainPass = True
Condition: Flag GLO_GithCreche_State_NeverEnteredBefore = True (The players have never visited the Creche.)
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: I believe we're approaching the crèche. Once we're inside, let me do the talking.
- Shadowheart: Just to be clear - you're going to lead us into a nest of githyanki marauders, and we're supposed to trust that will end well for us?
- Lae'zel: Is that a problem?
- Shadowheart: More a sign of the times, I suppose.
PB_Gale_Wyll_MountainPass
Synopsis: Gale/Wyll banter at the Mountain pass
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_MountainPass = True
Condition: Flag CRE_State_SCLNotVisited = True (The part has not been to SCL.)
Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Wyll_Laezel_MountainPass
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_MountainPass = True

Dialogue:
- 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.
PB_Karlach_Gale_MountainPass

Condition: Flag GLO_GithCreche_State_MonasteryNeverEntered = True (The palyers have never entered the monastery in CRE.)
Dialogue:
- Karlach: Man, adventuring is thirsty work.
- Gale: There used to be a monastery in this region known for producing a wonderful ale.
- Karlach: That sounds like heaven! Wait. Used to?
- Gale: Oh, yes - long ruined, I'm afraid. No chance of a frothing pitcher awaiting us there, but still - at least your thirst for knowledge is quenched.
- Karlach: Ugh.

Synopsis: Banter between SH and Karlach in creche monastery
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_Monastery = True
Condition: Flag GLO_GithCreche_State_MonasteryNeverEntered = True (The palyers have never entered the monastery in CRE.)
Dialogue:
- 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.

Dialogue:
- Astarion: Another ruined temple, full of foul-smelling beasts, spoiling for a fight.
- Gale: No mere temple. This was a monastery, devoted as much to study as to worship.
- Astarion: Oh, how ignorant of me. So it'll be free of foul-smelling beasts, then?
- Gale: Quite the opposite. Some monastic orders celebrated their pungency as proof of their devotion. 'To think is to stink' was the motto of one ill-fated brotherhood near Amn.
- Gale: Oh, but you meant beasts of the life-threatening variety? Yes, I'm sure it's teeming with those.
PB_Karlach_Laezel_Monastery
Synopsis: None
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_Monastery = True
Condition: Flag GLO_GithCreche_State_NeverEnteredBefore = True (The players have never visited the Creche.)
Dialogue:
- Karlach: What a sight. We should stop for a nice little lunch, take it all in.

- Karlach: True. Fine. First, purify the tadpole, then a little lunch.
PB_Wyll_Shadowheart_Monastery
Synopsis: Banter between Wyll and SH
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_Monastery = True
Dialogue:
- Wyll: 'The Mysteries of the Monastery'. 'The Secret of the Crags'.
- Shadowheart: What was that? I really can't abide mumbling, Wyll.
- 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'?
- Shadowheart: Or perhaps 'Don't count your adventurers before they survive a arduous, danger-filled journey'?
PB_Laezel_Astarion_Creche
Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Astarion in Creche
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_Creche = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: We are permitted to walk so freely. Such a lack of discipline would be punished severely in K'liir.
- Astarion: Walk freely? This place is as tight as a patriar's purse.
- Lae'zel: We should have been disarmed on entry. I'm pleased we weren't, but it's strange.
- Astarion: No doubt they found me too intimidating.

Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_Creche = True
Dialogue:
- 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?
PB_Gale_Astarion_Creche
Synopsis: Gale/AStarion banter at the creche
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_Creche = True
Dialogue:
- Gale: I knew I should've attended the Blackstaff's lectures on githyanki tir'su.

- Karlach: Exactly.
PB_Astarion_Wyll_RoadToSCL

Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_CRE_RoadToSCL = True
Dialogue:
- 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.
- Astarion: And it's when you think 'agog' is an impressive word that I remember you're just a child.

- Karlach: You can take a day off once in a while, Lae'zel.
- Lae'zel: I do not take days off. I'd even forego sleep, if such a thing were feasible. The one advantage an elf holds over a githyanki.

Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_HAV_Haven = True
Dialogue:
- Gale: Whatever I expected to find lurking in this cursed gloom, it certainly wasn't this. A glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.
- Shadowheart: That's one way of looking at it. You could also say it's a prime target - the one pocket of light in the gloom.
- Gale: Pragmatism, thy name is Shadowheart. You're not wrong though - best we keep our sojourn here to a minimum.

Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: Moonrise Towers at last. Make no mistake - I will have answers about these ghaik tadpoles.
- Shadowheart: Easy, Lae'zel - we need answers, yes, but you catch more flies with honey than vinegar...
- Shadowheart: ... perhaps that doesn't translate. I don't know if githyanki have honey. Or vinegar. Or flies, even. Let's just show some restraint.
- Lae'zel: I'm capable of restraint, just as you're capable of raw fury. I trust we'll find reason to exercise both here.

Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_MOO_MoonriseTowers = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: I itch to draw my weapon and gut every last one of these cultists.
- Shadowheart: You're keen. Just don't get carried away - some of those guts might be of more use to us unspilled, at least for a while.
- Lae'zel: I know better than to indulge every craving, Shadowheart. But when the time is right, the Absolutists will feel the sting of my blade.

Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: The right of these prisoners to die in mortal combat was stolen from them.

Synopsis: Party Banter for Laezel and Astarion in Illithid Colony (General)
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_COL_Colony = True
Dialogue:
- Lae'zel: We must be ready to confront the elder brain. One presides over every ghaik colony.

Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_HAV_Haven = True
Dialogue:
- Halsin: Last Light Inn - hearth aglow and lanterns lit, just like a hundred years ago!

PB_Halsin_Gale_Mausoleum
Synopsis: Party banter between Halsin and Gale in the Thorm Mausoleum
Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_TWN_Mausoleum = True
Dialogue:
- Halsin: I never favoured tombs - nothing but vanity. Upon death, mortal remains should be returned to nature, to nourish and replenish itself.
- Halsin: To seal away that which a person no longer needs is to lessen the Oak Father's bounty for all.
- Gale: I'm not sure Ketheric Thorm would prove the most bounteous of bodies...

- Karlach: The who now?
- Halsin: A council of intellectuals, respected throughout Faerûn - leading authorities on heraldry of course, but also history, genealogy, and diplomacy.

Condition: Flag BANTERREGION_MOO_MoonrisePrison = True
