+==== [[Emerald Grove]] and [[The Hollow]]====
+'''Approaching the Grove:'''
+* ''(After defeating first pack of goblins):'' “Well, that was bracing.”
+** ''(Responding remark 1):'' "They were tenacious. I wonder what they wanted here - other than bloodshed."
+** ''(Responding remark 2):'' “There must be more, wherever they came from.”
+'''Resolving the initial confrontation between [[Aradin]] and [[Zevlor]]:'''
+* ''(Aradin was knocked out by Zevlor):'' “If only they had the same vigour fighting goblins as they did each other...”
+* ''(Zevlor was knocked out by Aradin):'' “If only he'd fought the goblins with the same vigour he had for that tiefling...”
+** ''(Responding remark to any of leaders' punch):'' “Let's check for a healer, then move on. Whatever else is happening here isn't our concern.”
+* ''(Aradin was knocked out by avatar):'' “Nice punch, though be careful you don't spoil our welcome before we get what we need.”
+* ''(Zevlor was knocked out by avatar):'' “ I hope that wasn't a healer you just knocked out.”
+** ''(Responding remark to any of avatar’s punches):'' “Now that introductions are out of the way, perhaps we can look for a healer.”
+* ''(Respond to non-lethal ending of Aradin/Zevlor conflict):'' “Never mind their history. Let's look for help.”
+* ''(Reaction to Zevlor’s words about more goblins):'' “You heard them. More goblins could be on their way.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Goblins aren't our concern, so long as they stay out of our way. We're here to find a healer.”
+'''Resolving [[Sazza|Sazza's]] fate:'''
+* ''(After Sazza told the party about [[Gut|Priestess Gut]]):'' “Goblins aren't exactly renowned healers, but we can't afford to ignore any options.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Perhaps this Gut creature stole something that could be useful. A scroll, a potion, a cranial extractor.”
+* ''(Helped Sazza escape from the grove):'' “Freeing a goblin? Surely that's the tadpole, reworking my mind...”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “I'm not in the habit of helping vermin. I expect it to return and bite.”
+* ''(Let [[Arka]] shoot Sazza):'' “Hardly a winning display of archery, but it did the job.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Nobody will shed any tears for a dead goblin. The opposite, more likely. Let's move on.”
+'''In the [[Sacred Pool]] and Druids' Caves:'''
+* ''(Trying to recognize the ritual chanted by druids):'' “This is a druid ritual... but not as I know it. Something's off.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Why, that's not at all foreboding.”
+* ''(If [[Arabella]] was killed by [[Teela]] during the trial):'' “They killed a child, for that...? Let's get in and out of this place before any vipers decide to bare their fangs at us.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “We... can't help everyone. Even if we want to.”
+* ''(Saw the mural in the druid’s caves):'' “That mural... they look like Dark Justiciars.”
+** ''(Saw the mural in the druid’s caves, suspects of [[Dark Justiciar]] activity in the region):'' “That mural shows Dark Justiciars. All these signs can't be a coincidence.”
+* ''(In [[Halsin|Halsin’s]] chamber, saw dead drow):'' “A dead drow. These druids aren't to be tangled with lightly.”
+** ''(Responding remark 1):'' “There's a tadpole too, pickling in a jar.”
+** ''(Responding remark 2):'' “ Quite the statue. A formidable piece of stonework.”
+** ''(Responding remark 3):'' “Seems like the domain of a well-versed scholar - and not a squeamish one at that.”
+* ''(Read Halsin’s research on tadpoles):'' “This 'Halsin' person seems to know a lot about tadpoles.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Got to find him then. See if he can help.”
+* ''(Read Halsin’s research on tadpoles, knows druid’s missing):'' “Halsin sounds like the best chance of finding a cure.”
+** ''(Responding remark 1):'' “Time to track him down and see what he knows.”
+** ''(Responding remark 2):'' “Assuming he's even still alive.”
+** ''(Responding remark 3):'' “He won't get off that easily. We can force his corpse to talk if it comes to that.”
+* ''(Opened the druids’ library with the [[Key of the Ancients|magical circlet]]):'' “That did the trick.”
+* ''(Saw a [[Sorrow|magic-imbued glaive]] in druids’ library, knows the story):'' “This is the weapon mentioned in the notebook. Supposed to be cursed...”
+** ''(Haven’t read about the weapon’s story):'' “There's something off about this glaive. Touched with magic, or... something.”
+'''Dealing with [[Nettie]]:'''
+* ''(Nettie locked the party up after they refused to take [[Wyvern Poison]]):'' “Could have been worse, I suppose. At least she didn't just attack.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Blind honesty is always a bad idea. We should keep quiet in future.”
+* ''(Feeling sick after Nettie scratched them with a poisonous thorn):'' “Whatever Nettie did to me... it's getting worse.”
+** ''(Sickness getting worse after LR without cure):'' “''Agh''... I need to reverse whatever Nettie did to me, before it's too late.”
+** ''(Almost dying after second LR without cure):'' “''Agh''... killed by a bloody dwarf healer. Pathetic.”
+** ''(Cured from Nettie’s poison):'' “Poison's faded. Just my luck to find a healer, only to have her try to kill me.”
+* ''(Agreed to take Wyvern poison from Nettie):'' “Wyvern poison. Never tried it, and I hope to keep it that way.”
+** ''(Responding remark 1):'' “Better than becoming a mind flayer, I suppose. Keep it - in case things start to go very wrong.”
+** ''(Responding remark 2):'' “Better than becoming a mind flayer. Keep it - in case things start to go very wrong.”
+** ''(Responding remark 3):'' “Better to have more options than fewer. If you start sprouting tentacles, I'll pour it down your throat myself.”
+'''In the [[Secluded Cove]]:'''
+* ''(Charmed by a [[Harpy|Harpy's]] song, 1):'' "Such splendour... how did I live without it?"
+* ''(Charmed by a Harpy's song, 2):'' “So beautiful. Like Shar's embrace...”
+* ''(Charmed by a Harpy's song, 3):'' “Sing your dark hymn to me, Shar. Never stop.”
+* ''(Charmed by a Harpy's song, 4):'' “Such sweet music... I must listen...”
+* ''(Broke the Harpy's charm):'' "Foul winged charlatan! Your tricks will cost you!"
+'''Elsewhere in [[The Hollow]]:'''
+* ''(Saw the [[Strange Ox]]):'' "That ox seems a little too interested in me..."
+* ''(Watching at the map in Zevlor’s cave):'' “Elturgard? A lot of territory to cover before Baldur's Gate - and any cure found there.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “These little markings look like goblins and gnolls - right in our path.”
+* ''(Near statue in the [[Underground Passage]]):'' "I don't think that statue's eyes are glowing to provide illumination. Best be careful."
+* ''(Found malnourished [[Torchstalk]]s behind the [[Makeshift Prison]]):'' "Something tells me I should give that mushroom a wide berth."
+* ''(Found dead tiefling children after goblins' attack on the grove):'' “This is what we sowed. Shar's darkness will embrace the children now.”
+* ''(Found the vines all around the grove blocking the entrance):'' “Impressive, as weeds go.”
+** ''(Found the vines all around the grove, knows about [[Rite of Thorns]]):'' “All entrances sealed tight.”
+* ''(Tried to attack the vines):'' “I won't be getting through these things - nor will anyone else.”

+* (Read Kagha’s recruitment letter from Shadow Druids): “Shadow Druids... it seems Kagha's been keeping secrets.”
+** (Responding remark): “Useful information. Or dangerous. Both, likely.”
