Party Banter

Karlach and Astarion

• Karlach: Hahaha. Ha!
• Astarion: What's so funny? You haven't got some laughing curse, have you?
• Karlach: I really made it out of Avernus. It's incredible.
• Astarion: All right, just keep it down. We're conspicuous enough without your hyena call.

---

(At Grymforge)

• Karlach: Ho. He-llo! Hey!
• Astarion: So... are you greeting invisible beings or just losing your mind?
• Karlach: The echoes - listen! They're coming from three directions!
• Astarion: Losing your mind it is! Probably the tadpole - the weirdest things seems to be...

---

• 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.

---

(At Grey Harbour Docks)

• Karlach: Can you swim, Astarion?
• Astarion: I'm... not sure, honestly.
• Astarion: 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 Harbor' for nothing.

---

(At Felogyr’s Fireworks)

• Karlach: Oh man! WHIZBANGS!
• Astarion: Keep calm, Karlach. One bad flare and you could blow this whole place.
• Karlach: (Oh man! Whizbangs!)
• Astarion: Better.

Karlach and Gale

• Gale: Nothing like a brisk stroll through the forest to invigorate the spirits.
• Karlach: I was just thinking the same thing but less poetically.
• Gale: And without so much as a stirring from our tadpoles.
• Karlach: A girl could get used to this.

---

(At Reithwin Tollhouse)

• 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.

---

(At The Blushing Mermaid)

• 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.

Karlach and Shadowheart

• 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...

---

(In 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.

Karlach and Lae'zel

(In Wilderness)

• Karlach: Ahh, smell that? Fresh forest air.
• Lae'zel: I smell only fear - the fear of cowards lying in wait for an ambush.
• 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.

---

• Karlach: Is this your first time on the Sword Coast, Lae'zel?
• Lae'zel: Yes. It is much more... lively... then the githyanki slates led me to believe.
• Karlach: Just wait till you see Baldur's Gate. You'll never want to leave.

---

(In the Underdark)

• Karlach: Beautiful. Lethal. The Underdark is everything I thought it'd be.
• Lae'zel: And I. This environ seems worthy of a githyanki warrior's estimation.
• Karlach: Ah, to be deemed worthy by the great Lae'zel of Crèche K'liir.
• Lae'zel: Continue as you have, Karlach, and you will achieve the same.

---

(On the Rosymorn Monastery Trail)

• Karlach: What a sight. We should stop for a nice little lunch, take it all in.
• Lae'zel: Is the worm gnawing at your grey matter? We must find a crèche and be purified.
• Karlach: True. Fine. First, purify the tadpole, then a little lunch.

---

(At Wyrm's Rock Fortress)

• 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.

Karlach and Minsc

• Karlach: Minsc, you come from an entire nation of berserkers. Give me some of those good Rashemaar pointers.
• Minsc: Oh. There is much to be learned. Deep breaths. Meditative trances. Strange and stinking mushrooms.
• Minsc: But Minsc could master none of this. Which made him sad. Which made him mad. Which made him the berserker you see before you.
• Karlach: Huh. Really?
• Minsc: And there is always Boo, with the needful nip when anger is slow in coming. This is not how you do it...?

---

(At Bhaal Temple)

• 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.
