Jaheira/Banter: Difference between revisions

A collection of [[Jaheira]]'s remarks and overhead conversations with other characters.

== Remarks ==

* Agh! I think... this one is slowing me down...

* A rest... a potion... and all... will be well...

* Healing, cub. Lest I sit down for a rest and not rise again.

* Even in my youth, I was not quite so slight as ''this''.

* No way through - in this form, at least.

* Can't be done now.

* Later!

* Perhaps when we are ''not'' fighting for our lives, hm?

* We have slightly more pressing matters to attend to.

* Nothing. There must be another way to unseal it.

* Can't be opened - not from here, at least.

* No movement. Perhaps we must unlock it somewhere else?

* So many places to be... and I chose Baldur's Gate.

* Planets beyond our own, and planes beyond those. I have headaches enough on this little patch of earth, thank you.

* I can fawn over my face later.

* What good all this ethereal eladrin blood if I can still get pimples?

* This body can take a little more punishment yet.

* As if there were not dark and light enough down here to gaze at.

* Must we beat every stick of furniture into submission?

* At least you had the decency not to disguise yourself as a tree.

=== {{Banter|Astarion}} ===

<hr>

(In the Lower City)

* '''Astarion''': Cazazdor always warned us to stay clear of this neighbourhood. Never said why, though.

* '''Jaheira''': The last spawn who tried was sunk into the cobblestones and left for the sun to find. I had an unfortunate taste for theatrics, in my youth.

* '''Astarion''': Ah. Yes, that was probably it.

<hr>

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': I am glad it is your non-vampiric charms our friend has fallen for, Astarion. It is, isn't it?

* '''Astarion''': Of course! Is it so unbelievable that they would simply like me?

* '''Jaheira''': Why? Do you require some instruction on how the deed is done?

* '''Astarion''': I'm sure even I could learn some new tricks from an old veteran such as yourself.

=== {{Banter|Gale}} ===

* '''Gale''': Gods, who knew such a vile abcess lurked in the bedrock of the city. The very stone reeks of misery and despair.

* '''Jaheira''': A sad shrine kept by the lunatic and the lost. The last time I was here, I promised myself I would die beneath open sky. I have not changed my mind.

* '''Gale''': Nor should you. Far better to feel a cool breeze on your skin than whatever foul expirations blow through these halls.

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': So you wish to be a god, Gale? You know the wizard Irenicus attempted the same thing, by leeching divine blood from a Bhaalspawn.

* '''Gale''': Aha, transfusion! An interesting strategy. Hard to get hold of a god's blood, of course, but if one could...

=== {{Banter|Karlach}} ===  

* '''Karlach''': So, erm, Jaheira. Do you like to... that is, what do you like to do?

* '''Jaheira''': As in... hobbies? Oh. Well... I like to play music, I suppose?

* '''Karlach''': I'm just picturing you strumming on a harp so hard the strings snap and trying not to shriek. What do you play?

* '''Jaheira''': Eh. Mostly the same children's rhyme, on a battered whistle of tin. I do not get a lot of time to practise.

<hr>

* '''Karlach''': This place is so peaceful. Maybe I should convert.

* '''Jaheira''': I've done my share of praying to her, though not for the cause of peace. My faith was suddenly found on choppy seas.

* '''Karlach''': I don't know what that means.

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': You've a love-struck look about you, Karlach. Just do not let it distract you from the task ahead.

* '''Karlach''': But what if I really enjoy being distracted from the task ahead?

=== {{Banter|Lae'zel}} ===

* '''Jaheira''': Ugh. I have no love for the sea, but the city would not be what it is without these ships. That lends them a kind of beauty, I suppose.

* '''Lae'zel''': Indeed. There is no more impressive sight than a githyanki spelljammer with its astral sails unfurled.

* '''Jaheira''': A sweeter sight still, the world those ships might make if you plied them between the planes. Interplanar learning, trade...

* '''Lae'zel''': Trade? Why stoop to barter when you have the power to take what you need?

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': Lae'zel. My brief time on the Astral Plane left quite the impression. You must miss it dearly.

* '''Lae'zel''': I don't hail from the Astral, Jaheira. My glimpse was as brief as yours, before we were cast back to the Material.

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': Shadowheart. You should know - Viconia was not half so heartless as she liked to appear.

* '''Shadowheart''': I knew her well enough. You might have travelled with her for a time, but she trained me. What's your point?

* '''Shadowheart''': Perhaps she took some pride in her work, forming me to Shar's liking. She certainly relished wielding the rod..

* '''Shadowheart''': ... but who knows. Perhaps someone else made her that way, as she tried to do to me.

<hr>

=== {{Banter|Wyll}} ===

* '''Wyll''': Mercenary they may be, but father always demanded discipline from the Flaming Fist. Seems some grew unruly in his absence.

* '''Jaheira''': Your father made a fine job of polishing them up some - but a sellsword is still a sellsword. They are just following their nature.

* '''Wyll''': And you think the Harpers are more dutiful?

* '''Jaheira''': I should hope so - they certainly don't get paid half so well.

<hr>

* '''Wyll''': Odd - I'd expect a Flaming Fist or four to be stationed nearby.

* '''Jaheira''': They stick to sunnier streets. Heavens forbid they disrupt any of that Guild business they're so well-paid to ignore, hm?

* '''Wyll''': The Fist aren't what they used to be.

* '''Jaheira''': I grieve to tell you, Wyll, they never were.

<hr>

* '''Wyll''': My first visit to the undercity. A haven for undead, or so my tutors said.

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': So, Wyll - you have your mind set on marriage.

* '''Wyll''': Why not? If this adventure has taught me anything, it's that life is fragile, and we should seize joy when we can. You think I'm being rash?

=== {{Banter|Halsin}} ===

* '''Halsin''': Ah, a glimpse of nature. Like a sip of water to parched lips, eh, Jaheira?

* '''Jaheira''': Baldurians think all druids to be hay-haired idlers, Halsin. Perhaps we ought not speak of nature - but high art, or politics?

* '''Halsin''': I think on them also. But nothing matches the splendour of an ancient tree.

* '''Jaheira''': It is so. And, should one favour bear-form, that tree in particular makes for excellent back-scratching...

<hr>

* '''Jaheira''': Archdruid. You appear to gather a rather fanatic following wherever you go. A noble thing, to serve nature so tirelessly.

* '''Halsin''': I welcome all of nature's blessings, whether they come to me one at a time, or in multitudes. There is no shame in it.

=== {{Banter|Minsc}} ===

<hr>

* '''Minsc''': All of these statues - could they, too, be heroes all? Frozen in stone until the city has need of them?

* '''Jaheira''': The Harpers keep records of those who fought for the city - I think I would recall mention of a bare-assed little cherub in all our story and song.

* '''Minsc''': Well. Boo would also think you would have noticed when Minsc himself was frozen for over a century.

* '''Jaheira''': ... do you know, I had forgotten just how catty your hamster can be.

<hr>

* '''Minsc''': Jaheira, Minsc's memory of his last time in this taproom is a little... fuzzy. Did he...?

* '''Jaheira''': Fear not, Rashemaar. It has never been your way to over-indulge.

* '''Minsc''': Oh, praise the Three! Minsc was afraid he had shamed myself. I will, eh, leave a penny at the bar.

* '''Jaheira''': Best leave two. I cracked her with my own, afterward. She was drinking grog - Boo's backside could only have improved it.
