• (Fighting rats near altar, between waves): “A great horde of rats, but not an endless one, surely. I must keep fighting.”

    • (Responding remark): “Ketheric Thorm shall be vulnerable now. The time to strike is upon us.”
  • (Playing as Shadowheart): “You chose well, Shadowheart. You may have angered your goddess, but now we have an aasimar as an ally.”

• (Surrendered her to Balthazar):
  • (all options): “We just surrendered her...? She could have helped us put a stop to Ketheric Thorm!”

    • (Responding remark 1): “Finding it may not be a simple matter.”

    • (Responding remark 3): “It must be found, first of all. No easy task.”
