+==== [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] ====
+* (Entering the Shadow-Cursed Lands for the first time): “There's a power to these shadows - a familiar one. I swear I can feel it...”
+** (Responding remark): “Darkness or not, we need to reach Moonrise Towers.”
+* (Looking at the distorted land within Shadow Curse): “The shadows have upended the ground itself. Such power...”
+* (Looking at the [[Ruined Battlefield]]): “These aren't the remains of some skirmish - whole armies clashed here once.”
+* (Found old war machines, [[History]] check):
+** (Successful): “These war implements could go in a museum, if they weren't half-rotten. A century old, I'd say.”
+** (Failed): "Creaky old rubbish. Only useful as firewood now."
+* (Found non-dousable torches): “ Hmm. Seems like this flame doesn't want to be snuffed.”
+** (Trying to recognize the spell, [[Arcana]] check successful): “A Continual Flame spell, from the look of it.”
+** (Failed): “Magic of some sort. Not my most useful observation, I'll admit.”
+* (Found fresh flowers near [[Oliver|Oliver’s]] hovel, not knowing the story): “How are wildflowers surviving here? Nothing else is growing...”
+* (Knowing about him from [[Halsin]]): “Living flowers... this must be the sign that Halsin told us to watch for.”
+* (Looking for Oliver in hide-and-seek game, [[Perception]] check):
+** (Successful): “Hello? Little... whatever you are - I know you're there. Come out.”
+** (Failed): “Surely finding a little boy can't be that hard, even if he is... whatever he is.”
+* (Met [[Rolan]] near the bridge to [[Reithwin Town]]): “Rolan? He isn't going to last very long out here like this...”
+Reacting to the effect of the [[Shadow Curse]]:
+▶ '''''Note:'''
+* (Not feeling the effect of Shadow Curse, 1): “The shadows are hungry here. Doesn't seem to affect me though...”
+* (Not feeling the effect of Shadow Curse, 2): “These cursed shadows. I can see your strength wilting by the moment.”
+* (Not feeling the effect of Shadow Curse, 3): “These shadows can pull the life from someone - but not me”
+* (Not feeling the effect of Shadow Curse, 4): “I'm not affected... curious.”
+* (Not feeling the effect of Shadow Curse, 5): “Most would be unwise to linger in these shadows.”
+* (responding remark 1): “The shadows will not consume me - I am shielded by Lady Shar.”
+* (responding remark 2): “These cursed shadows. I can see your strength wilting by the moment.”
+* (responding remark 3 - looking for a solution): “The shadows are sparing me - but we need to get you some help.”
+* (Not feeling the effect of Shadow Curse, looking for light source): “Yes, you need some light. Keep whatever you find. I'm... unaffected, so far.”
+* (Feeling the effect of deeper Shadow Curse): “The shadows are draining me - I can't just walk through them like before.”
+* (Feeling the effect of Shadow Curse after she spurned Shar, 1): “The shadows are hungry - and Shar won't help me now.”
+* (Feeling the effect of Shadow Curse after she spurned Shar, 2): “The darkness is encroaching. Can't linger here - not like before.”
+* (Feeling the effect of Shadow Curse after she spurned Shar, 3): “The curse is feeding on me - Shar's withdrawn her protection.”
+* (Feeling the effect of Shadow Curse after she spurned Shar, 4): “The shadows are draining me - I can't just walk through them like before.”
+* (Negated the Curse with a light source): “The light - it's warding off the curse.”
+* (Found the dead druid’s journal, NAT check successful): “Research notes on the shadow curse. It may be wise to heed what's said here.”
+* (Found the dead druid’s journal, NAT check failed): “Notes on the shadow curse. Perhaps some feared it would spread?”
+* (Read graverobber’s note): “Ellie May. Same name as the tombstone.”
+* (Read graverobber’s note, saw the grave/got the ring): “Ellie May's ring? Better me than him, I suppose.”
+* (Found Ellie May’s grave): “Looks like an animal dug this up - so much for a final resting place.”
+* (Found animal tracks near Ellie Mae’s grave): “Animal tracks. Something went over the edge here.”
+* (Found animal’s burrow down the ledge): “A half-buried femur. Some beast wanted to save it for later, perhaps?”
+* (Saw an animal killed by the Shadow Curse): “The shadows' hunger is endless, it seems.”
+* (Saw the dead grove tieflings, INV check successful): “Looks like they lost a fight.”
+* (Saw the dead grove tieflings, INV check failed): “Poor wretches. A sorry end.”
+* (Saw the dead cursed ox, INV check successful): “Looks like it gored one of its attackers, before it died.”
+* (Saw the dead cursed ox, INV check failed): “Poor creature. It must have been terrified.”
+* (Saw the dead cursed ox’s master, MED check successful): “Too big to be a spear wound - a horn?”
+* (Saw the dead cursed ox’s master, MED check failed): “Not what you'd call a clean death.”
+* (Found a dead raven nearby LLI, ? check successful): “The shadows claimed that bird. Not for me to interfere...”
+* (Found a dead raven nearby LLI, ? check failed): “A dead bird. Not the victim of a house cat, I take it...”
+* (Looking at the graveyard behind the Last Light Inn): “Hastily buried - but at least they were buried, I suppose.”
+* (Took the Moonlantern from the drider corpse): “That's the last of them - better fetch that lantern.”
+* (Set Dolly Thrice free): “Hmm, a pixie. A rather quaint little find.”
+* (Responding remark): “We do get to see some interesting things. Almost makes the mortal peril worth it. Almost.”
+* (Set Dolly Thrice free, angered her): “What an angry little pixie. Sort of adorable, really.”
+* (Responding remark to an angered pixie): “She's an angry little thing. Sort of adorable, really.”
+* (Found drider’s route starting point): “The drider's caravan came from here, I'll wager.”
+* (Responding remark, defeated the drider 1): “They won't be herding any more prisoners from here, thanks to us.”
+* (Responding remark, defeated the drider 2): “Seems they've herded their last prisoner.”
+* (Responding remark, haven’t defeated the drider 1): “Cages, chains - all awaiting prisoners of the Absolute.”
+* (Torch snuffed out in deeper curse, 1): “Torches are useless here. The curse is too strong.”
+* (Torch snuffed out in deeper curse, 2): “The shadow curse is snuffing out the torches.”
+* (Torch snuffed out in deeper curse, 3): “The flames have been extinguished. A torch is no good in this place.”
+* (Torch snuffed out in deeper curse, 4): “The curse is strong here - torches won't even stay lit.”
+* (At the road to Baldur’s Gate): “All these tracks - enough for an army. They must be on the march.”
+* (If has seen the Absolute’s army from the cemetery cliff): “The Absolute's legions - they're gone. And I doubt they've disbanded peacefully...”
