+* ''(Heard about the cult previously from [[Sazza]]):'' “They spoke of the Absolute, same as that captive goblin. They must be part of the same sect.”

+* ''(Saw [[Edowin|Edowin’s]] tadpole exerting from his body):'' “That tadpole wasted no time in abandoning its host. Not sentimental creatures, clearly.”
+* ''(Responding remark):'' “All the more reason to rid ourselves of our own uninvited guests.”
+* ''(Found Exsanguinated Boar):'' “Curious. No wounds on that boar, but doesn't quite look like it died peacefully either…”

+====[[Sunlit Wetlands]]/[[Putrid Bog]]====
+'''Dealing with [[Demir]] and [[Johl]]:'''
+* ''(Saw [[Auntie Ethel]] disappeared after helping her against brothers):'' "Magic? Ethel is less helpless she made out. I don't trust her."
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “I'd be happy to be wrong, but she makes my skin crawl. Watch yourself around her.”
+* ''(Found the brothers dead, haven’t met them):'' “These two were made to suffer, whoever they were.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Whoever or whatever did this could still be around...”
+** ''(Have encountered them arguing with Ethel):'' “These two won't be helping their sister. Or doing anything else, for that matter.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' "Whoever did this wanted them to suffer. We need to be careful."
+'''At the [[Druid Sanctuary]]/[[Decrepit Sanctuary]]:'''
+* ''(Read [[Kagha|Kagha’s]] recruitment letter from [[Shadow Druids]]):'' “Shadow Druids... it seems Kagha's been keeping secrets.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Useful information. Or dangerous. Both, likely.”
+** ''(Read the letter before meeting Kagha):'' “Seems like some Shadow Druids turned someone called 'Kagha' to their cause.”
+* ''(Noticed the knife-damaged tree bark):'' “There's a hollow in that tree... looks hand-carved.”
+** ''(Saw the damaged bark, knowing about Kagha’s letter):'' “This looks like the tree mentioned in Kagha's note.”
+'''Elsewhere in the Wetlands/Bog:'''
+* ''(Found a sword and a helmet in the middle of the bog):'' “Rather fine blade and hat. Left behind by some unfortunate adventure-seeker, perhaps.”
+* ''(Tried to pick a fruit from a [[Sunlit_Wetlands#Barbed_Bulrush|Barbed Bulrush]], pricked a finger):'' “Owh! That smarts.”
+* ''(Found a slaughtered campsite on the riverbank):'' "Unlucky choice of campsite, judging by all the blood."
+** ''([[Nature]] check, successful):'' “Redcaps. They certainly made a mess here…”
+** ''(Failed):'' “Whatever did this must've worked itself into quite a frenzy.”
+* ''(After defeating [[Gandrel]], stood by [[Astarion]]):'' "Speaking truthfully, I'm a little surprised you chose to shield Astarion".
+** ''(Responding remark)'': “He's not without his uses - as long as we can keep him in line.”
+* ''(Betrayed Astarion to Gandrel):'' “Vampire spawn or not, I'm surprised you actually surrendered Astarion like that…”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “He was interesting company, all things considered. Pretty, arrogant, and bitey. Like a cat.”
+'''In the [[Riverside Teahouse]]/[[Gnarled Teahouse]]:'''
+* ''(Near the fireplace in hag’s house, [[Arcana]] check):''
+** ''(Successful):'' “An illusion - with a passage hidden behind it.”
+** ''(Failed):'' “No time to be warming myself by a fire.”
+* ''(After Ethel didn’t succeed to extract the tadpole):'' “Bad enough to have a tadpole, never mind one that's been tampered with.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “We need to keep looking for a way to get rid of these things - they've overstayed their welcome as it is.”
+* ''(Ethel fled from the house, peaceful encounter):'' “Off to find someone else to ensnare in her dealings, no doubt.”
+** ''(Ethel fled from the house escaping a combat):'' “Now where has she slithered off to...?”
+* ''(Reached out to [[Connor Vinderblad|Connor’s]] coffin while the hag is still alive):'' “''Agh''! That stings.”
+** ''(Tried to touch it second time):'' “''Agh''! Still stings... don't know what else I expected.”
+'''In the [[Overgrown Tunnel]] and the [[Ancient Abode]]:'''
+* (Chasing after Ethel through the illusory fireplace):'' “Where's that hag scurried off to now...?”
+* ''(Entering the Overgrown Tunnel):'' “Such charming aesthetics this place has.”
+* ''(After speaking with [[Lorin]] in the [[Overgrown_Tunnel#Entrance_Gallery|Entrance Gallery]]):'' “A mind flayer? Hopefully there's no truth to his ravings.”
+** ''(Responding remark 1):'' “Just a trick, surely. We're being toyed with.”
+** ''(Responding remark 2):'' “Probably another of the hag's mind games. Nothing more.”
+* ''(Lorin died after being forced out of his corner):'' “Looked like his heart gave out. I've seen it before.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “His heart gave out - with a little magical push, I'll wager.”
+* ''(Put on a [[Whispering Mask]] and saw through illusion):'' “Talk about appearances being deceiving...”
+** ''(Failed a [[Wisdom]] save against Ethel’s mask):'' “Get out of my head ''at once''!”
+** ''(Freed from Ethel’s masks mind control):'' “Ugh. I've enough trespassers in my head without ''her'' joining in the fun.”
+** ''(Other hag’s victims act neutral when wearing a Whispering Mask):'' “They're not attacking - thanks to the mask, no doubt.”
+* ''(Wandered into Ethel’s lair, the hag is not there):'' “The air's foul. What is this place?”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Keep your guard up. This place reeks of death.”
+* ''(Entered [[Overgrown_Tunnel#Acrid_Workshop|Acrid Workshop]]):'' “It's like an abattoir in here.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “A lot of unfortunates drew their final breath in here, I think.”
+* ''(After Ethel’s set [[Mayrina|Mayrina’s]] cage on fire):'' “She'll be roast like a goose if that fire isn't put out.”
+* ''(After resurrecting Connor Vinderblad):'' “Not quite the outcome we were expecting, is it?”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Forget it. The milk's already spilled.”
-* (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.”
-** (Read the letter before meeting Kagha): “Seems like some Shadow Druids turned someone called 'Kagha' to their cause.”
