+** ''(Responding remark, if already knows about adding [[Sussur Tree Bark]]):'' “These don't mention sussur bark though. Perhaps an earlier draft.”

 ==== [[Goblin Camp]] ====
-* ''(After any party member Performed on a War Drum near the outer gate)'' "That should alert a good few goblins to our presence. Not planning on discretion, then?"
+'''At the gate and in the outer camp:'''
+* ''(After any party member [[Performance|knocked a rhythm]] on a [[War Drum]] near the outer gate):'' "That should alert a good few goblins to our presence. Not planning on discretion, then?"
 * ''(After any party member smeared worg dung on their face):'' "I'd rather have a second tadpole than do that."
+* ''(Walking among the celebrating goblins):'' “We have to find Halsin before it's too late. I doubt these goblins care much for their prisoners' welfare.”
+** (Responding remark): “Let's keep an eye out - and hope he's still drawing breath when we find him.”
 * ''(Freed the [[Owlbear Cub]] and directed it to the camp):'' "Not your typical pet. Hopefully it doesn't wreck the camp when it gets there."
-* ''(Approaching the [[Waypoint]])'' "Selûne's markings… she was worshipped here, once. Her patronage couldn't spare this place from goblins, clearly. Heh."
+* ''(Saw sleeping drunk goblins at the platform above the entrance):'' “Blackout drunk, the lot of them. You can smell it from here.”
-* ''(Approaching the statues near the Waypoint)'' "A disgusting waste of stonecraft."
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “Easy to liberate some purses or slit a few throats... if you were so inclined.”
+* ''(Found a loose wall at the upper section of the outer camp):'' “Loose brickwork. Best not lean against it.”
+'''Wandering around the outer camp:'''
+* ''(Recognized the ruins as a Selûnite temple):''
+** ''(If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 1):'' "So many Selûne statues. But no worshippers."
+** ''(If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 2):'' "Some deluded fool actually took time to carve this."

+** ''(If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 4):'' "More Selûne dedications. What happened, I wonder?"
+** ''(If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 5):'' "More Selûne idolatry. No sign of her followers though."
+** ''(If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 6):'' "Selûnites wouldn't have abandoned this place willingly. What happened?"
+** ''(If the party knows she's a Sharran, 1):'' "A disgusting waste of stonecraft."
+** ''(If the party knows she's a Sharran, 2):'' "All these blasted statues. At least the worshippers are long dead or gone."
+** ''(If the party knows she's a Sharran, 3):'' "All of these idols should be torn down. Another time, perhaps."
+** ''(If the party knows she's a Sharran, 4):'' "More vile idolatry. Makes my stomach turn. For once, the goblins' decorations are an improvement."
+* ''(Hasn't recognized the ruins as a Selûnite temple):''
+** ''(The party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 1):'' "A statue of Selûne. This ruin must have been dedicated to her."
+** ''(The party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 2):'' "This ruin's dedicated to Selûne. What happened here...?"
+** ''(The party knows she's a Sharran, 1):'' "A statue of Selûne. This ruin must have been dedicated to her. And now it's a nest for some filthy goblins. A fitting end, heh."
+** ''(The party knows she's a Sharran, 2):'' "This ruin's dedicated to Selûne. Vile moon witch... For once, the goblins' decorations are an improvement."
+* ''(Saw a mural near the waypoint):''
+** ''(If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 1):'' "Selûne's markings… she was worshipped here, once. ''(Also comes if Shadowheart is played as an avatar)''
+** ''(If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran, 2):'' "More Selûnite markings. No worshippers left though."
+** ''(If the party knows she's a Sharran, 1):'' "More heretical symbols. Of course."
+** ''(If the party knows she's a Sharran, 2):'' "Her patronage couldn't spare this place from goblins, clearly. Heh."
+** ''(Conclusion, if Shadowheart is played as an avatar):'' "Now left to ruin and goblins. Good."
+* ''(If the party has already interrogated [[Liam]]):''
+** ''(Saw a mural near waypoint):'' "Could there truly be a temple of Shar ''here''...?"
+** ''(If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran):'' "Selûne statues everywhere. How could a temple of Shar be here also?"
+** ''(If the party doesn't know she's a Sharran):'' "Selûne symbols everywhere... surely there can't be a temple of Shar here."
+** ''(If the party knows she's a Sharran):'' "Vile statues everywhere. How could a temple of Shar be here also?"
+** ''(If the party knows she's a Sharran):'' "Heretic idolatry everywhere... surely there can't be a temple of Shar here."

+'''In the [[Shattered Sanctum]]:'''
+* ''(Noticed a [[Scrying Eye]]):'' “A scrying eye. Better keep any mischief out of its view.”
+* ''(Talked to either [[Dror Ragzlin]] or [[Minthara]], and they mentioned “the weapon”):'' “No prizes for guessing what this 'weapon' they're after really is. The artefact.”
+** ''(Responding remark):'' “They must not find out we have it.”

+* ''(Found a blocked trapdoor in Ragzlin’s throne room):'' “Blocked on the other side.”
+* ''(Killed Minthara):'' “That's her finished. An impressive scalp to lay claim to.”

+'''In [[Worg Pens]]:'''
+* ''([[Halsin]] died while in bear form and reshaped after death):'' “Wait... he was no true bear. I need to see that corpse.”
+** ''(Halsin died, players spoke to him previously):'' “Halsin's gone... but maybe his corpse can reveal a useful secret or two.”
+* ''(Halsin escaped Worg Pens on his own, the party hasn’t been to grove):'' “Looks like something broke free... and tore its way through its captors...”
+** ''(the party does not know about Halsin missing):'' “Looks like someone broke free... one of the adventurers? Maybe they're back at the grove.”
+** ''(the party knows Halsin was missing):'' “Claw marks and magic wounds... the work of Halsin maybe? He must've left for the grove.”
+** ''(the party met him afterwards):'' “Must be where Halsin escaped from - looks like his handiwork. Or claw-work, rather.”
+** ''(the party knows only about the [[Aradin|adventurers]]):'' “Looks like someone escaped from there - rather violently. One of the adventurers?”
+* ''(Trying to use the tunnel left after drawing out [[Taeglyn|Taeglyn's]] body):'' “Tunnel's still blocked. It'll take a bit more effort to clear it.”

+* ''(Approaching the riddle, hasn't read the poem):''
+** ''(Successful Investigation check):'' "Looks like these plates on the floor can be turned."
+** ''(Failed):'' "What is this?"
+* ''(After the riddle is solved):'' "Quite the descent. Best get started."
