Party Banter

Lae'zel/banter and Astarion

• Astarion: So, you know about these parasites. Will we survive them?
• Lae'zel: Only if my people extract them. The only other cure is the blade.
• Astarion: Okay. Wonderful.

---

• Astarion: You fight well, but you're so efficient. Why not have a little fun?
• Lae'zel: Fun? I fight to win, not to make spectacles.
• Astarion: What a waste.

---

• Astarion: Shadowheart. Such a grim name for such a beautiful flower.

(If it is not known that Astarion is a vampire)

• Shadowheart: I heard you mumbling that line to yourself earlier - it needs more work.
• Lae'zel: Fortunate for his tongue he didn't say it to me.

(If it is known that Astarion is a vampire)

• Shadowheart: Could you not stare so blatantly at my neck when you say that please?
• Lae'zel: Oh, but do keep calling her 'flower'. She'll love that.

---

(If it is known that Astarion is a vampire)

• Lae'zel: Feed if you must, Astarion.
• Lae'zel: But give me so much as a hungry look, and I'll drive a stake through your heart.
• Astarion: Ooh, I do so very like spicy food.

---

(If everyone knows about Astarion's scars)

• Lae'zel: Poetry as torture - your master's quite clever, Astarion. Don't you agree?
• Astarion: You and I have very different definitions of 'clever'.

---

(In the Underdark)

• Astarion: Do we have to spend so long poking about down here?
• Astarion: I'd much rather be outside, with the sun on my skin.
• Lae'zel: You've only just come to tolerate sun, and you're already nostalgic?
• Lae'zel: If you're going to complain the whole way, by all means, return topside. You could use the colour.

---

(At Crèche Y'llek)

• Lae'zel: We are permitted to walk so freely. Such a lack of discipline would be punished severely in K'liir.
• Astarion: Walk freely? This place is as tight as a patriar's purse.
• Lae'zel: We should have been disarmed on entry. I'm pleased we weren't, but it's strange.
• Astarion: No doubt they found me too intimidating.

---

(At Gauntlet of Shar)

• Astarion: It's all very grand, but so austere.
• Lae'zel: Did you expect anything else? This is how your gods project power.
• Astarion: But why not project power with soft furnishings and roaring fires? Maybe then I'd worship them.

---

(At Reithwin Town)

• Astarion: Just once, I'd like to find a village that hasn't been plundered and destroyed.
• Lae'zel: Indeed. All the best weapons have already been scavenged.
• Astarion: I was thinking about a warm fire and charming company, actually.
• Lae'zel: I am perfectly charming, I'll have you know. On Crèche K'liir, I was known for my dazzling smile and charisma.
• Astarion: Really?
• Lae'zel: No.

---

(At The Waning Moon)

• Astarion: Ah, beer. Not really my drink, you know.
• Lae'zel: I know, Astarion. You prefer blood.
• Astarion: Well - yes. It was a joke.
• Lae'zel: I know that, too. It just wasn't funny.

---

(At Mason's Guild)

• Lae'zel: 'Mason's Guild'. The githyanki would call this a or'mlar: an alliance of mlar.
• Astarion: And what is a 'mlar', exactly?
• Lae'zel: Builders, craftspeople - and the makers of the incomparable silver swords the kith'raki wield in battle.
• Lae'zel: The mlar may not be warriors, but they are no less valuable to my people.

---

(At Moonrise Towers Docks)

• Astarion: The boat's heading to Baldur's Gate. I'm almost tempted to stow away.
• Lae'zel: Chk. Try to abandon us and it won't go well for you.
• Astarion: Oh, I wouldn't actually leave. After all, where would you be without me?

---

(While assaulting Moonrise Towers)

• Lae'zel: At last, we wash our weapons in Absolute blood.
• Astarion: I like this bloodlust look on you. Very flattering.
• Lae'zel: Even now, at the cusp, you waste your breath on prattle.

---

(At Mind Flayer Colony)

• Lae'zel: We must be ready to confront the elder brain. One presides over every ghaik colony.
• Astarion: No problem. And what does this old brain look like?
• Lae'zel: A hovering mass of grey matter, sprouted with lethal tentacles and oozing cerebrospinal fluid.
• Astarion: Right... Good. Glad I asked.

---

(At Rivington)

• Astarion: I used to like this neighbourhood. It was quieter than inside the walls - darker too.
• Lae'zel: A good hunting ground, then?
• Astarion: Oh, yes - slimmer pickings, but safer targets. The perfect place to learn the craft.

---

(At The Blushing Mermaid)

• Astarion: Ah. This place never changes.
• Lae'zel: Perhaps it should. All I see are carousing fools.
• Astarion: I know, isn't it wonderful? Endless opportunities for mischief.

---

(At Bhaal Temple)

• Astarion: I expected a temple to murder would be more fun. A little joyous, even.
• Lae'zel: There's no greater pleasure than battle. You face your enemy and conquer them, blade to blade, spell to spell.
• Lae'zel: But to take a life unawares is no more to be celebrated than plunging a dagger into a trapped rat.
• Astarion: Oh, I don't know - I've killed plenty of rats. I celebrated every time.

---

(At Steel Watch Foundry)

• Lae'zel: These Steel Watchers are impressive achievements. Worthy opponents, even for githyanki.
• Astarion: In that case, I'll leave fighting them to you. So I can observe your technique.
• Lae'zel: I'm sure you'll find it instructive. Or do you simply want to avoid risking your pallid neck?
• Astarion: Perish the thought - we're comrades in arms! I will be right behind you.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 1 romance scene)

• Astarion: Would you believe, I've never been with a githyanki.
• Lae'zel: If you cease your frivolous ways, keep your mouth closed, and learn to obey, perhaps we can attempt it.
• Astarion: Haha! No, I think I will leave that honour to our esteemed friend.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 2 romance scene)

• Astarion: So Lae'zel, things seem to be getting serious with you two. Do you have pet names for each other yet?
• Lae'zel: 'Pet' names? As if we were domesticated animals?
• Astarion: Gods, you have so much to learn. Repeat after me: honey muffin, sweetie pie, sugarplum.
• Lae'zel: Honey muffin, sweetie pie - Astarion, do you see all your lovers as food?

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: You say you have had many lovers, Astarion. If that is true, where are they now?
• Astarion: They weren't lovers... not in the way that you mean. They wanted me more than I wanted them.
• Astarion: I used that to my advantage more times than I care to remember.

---

(If the player is romancing Astarion; after act 1 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: Why have you not tried to lay with me, Astarion?
• Lae'zel: It is in your nature to have tried. You have not.
• Astarion: No, and you're so charming and alluring. It's baffling, really.
• Astarion: I guess it shall remain a mystery, now and forevermore.

---

(If the player is romancing Astarion; after act 2 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: The more I learn of this plane, Astarion, the more I believe 'love' is its greatest disease.
• Astarion: Oh, I don't know. The screaming fever is pretty bad.

---

(If the player is romancing Astarion, and Astarion stayed a spawn)

• Lae'zel: Astarion, I note you and your lover struggle to keep your hands off one another.
• Lae'zel: It makes you less watchful. We're panting after battle, and already your maws are glued.
• Astarion: We're having fun. I would say 'try it, it won't kill you', but in your case I'm not sure.

---

(If the player is romancing Astarion, and Astarion became an ascendant)

• Lae'zel: You have shared your new power with your lover, Astarion. I'm surprised - I expected you to turn your back once you got what you wanted.
• Astarion: Quite the opposite - I need someone I can trust. And now I know they'll never betray me.

Lae'zel/banter and Gale

• Gale: Tell me, Lae'zel, when you say we might be 'purified' at your crèche, what does that mean exactly?
• Lae'zel: A ghustil will affix the zaith'isk, the purifier, to our heads.
• Lae'zel: Its magic will quell the parasite in an instant.

---

• Gale: That zaith'isk you mentioned intrigues me. Care to tell me a bit more?
• Lae'zel: An intricate device, crafted by mlar - our most gifted artisans. I am sworn to say no more.

---

• Gale: Your prowess in battle is remarkable, as is your battle stance itself.
• Lae'zel: Hrath ajak - a technique known to few outside K'liir. Shall I teach you?
• Gale: I'll pass, thank you. I prefer Abjuration over acrobatics.

---

• Lae'zel: You've a particular way with words, Gale. Perhaps oration suits you more than battle.
• Gale: They're not mutually exclusive. The Weave is served best with a dash of eloquence.

---

• Lae'zel: You strike me cleverer than most istiki, Gale. Multiple tutors, I should guess.
• Gale: Many a wise man and woman indeed. Waterdeep is the home of myriad scholars.
• Wyll: Ah, the City of Splendours. Spent a whole Fleetswake there with my father. What a delight.

---

• Gale: Tell me, Lae'zel, what is it like on the Astral Plane? Your home realm intrigues me.
• Lae'zel: Githyanki lay their eggs on other planes. They cannot mature in the Astral.
• Lae'zel: I will only be welcomed once I obtain a mind flayer's head.

---

• Lae'zel: Tell me, Gale: what is your interest in the Astral Plane?
• Gale: Time. Or rather: the absence of it. In the Astral Plane, everything is eternal.
• Lae'zel: It will be my home soon enough, should Vlaakith will it.

---

• Wyll: Who's in charge of the mind flayers, Lae'zel? Is there a squid king or something?
• Lae'zel: No. Each ghaik is servant to an elder brain. No king unites elders - only their collective tyranny.
• Gale: A mind flayer monarch, imagine that. Such a thing could shatter worlds.

---

• Gale: I was wondering about your queen, Vlaakith. What tales of her reach us are terrifying, but I suppose that's not how you would describe her.
• Lae'zel: Vlaakith is unity: fear and beauty, life and unlife. Eyes like onyx, teeth like daggers. There is none more perfect.
• Shadowheart: Sounds vile. I assume the meaning of 'perfect' was lost in translation...

---

• Shadowheart: What if this crèche doesn't work out, Lae'zel? What if your kin fail you?
• Lae'zel: If I can reach the crèche, my kin will provide - any failure will be mine alone.
• Shadowheart: If you say so. Just don't expect me to put all my eggs in the same basket.
• Gale: That expression must sound curious to a githyanki ear, given the way they're birthed.

---

(In Shadow-Cursed Lands)

• Gale: I hoped Moonrise would give me answers, but at every twist of its corridors I find only more questions...
• Lae'zel: Our goal is clear, is it not? We defeat the remaining Chosen and the elder brain they control.
• Gale: Ambiguity does not come naturally to you, does it Lae'zel? Your life must be far simpler for it.

---

(At Shadow-Cursed Lands Forest)

• Gale: No day, no night. It's as though time itself has abandoned this place.
• Gale: Similar to the Astral Plane in some ways, wouldn't you say, Lae'zel?

(If you've been to the Astral Plane, and Lae'zel was with you)

• Lae'zel: Hardly. The Astral Plane is threaded with light and silver, life-giving and wondrous in all directions.
• Lae'zel: Nothing like this dismal abyss.

(Else)

• Lae'zel: Hardly. It is said that the Astral Plane is threaded with light and silver, life-giving and wondrous in all directions.
• Lae'zel: I've never set eyes on it. But I promise it is nothing like this dismal abyss.

---

(At Ruined Battlefield)

• Gale: Blast scars. Spell and sword alike were used to ravage this battlefield.
• Lae'zel: Imagine the glorious din of it all - the streaming banners, the charging knights, the piles of severed limbs and heads.
• Gale: I'd rather not, if it's all the same to you.

---

(At an abandoned house in Shadow-Cursed Lands)

• Lae'zel: What is this...? This place makes me feel sad. Melancholy.
• Gale: Ah, so you're susceptible to the tragedy of a broken home. Maybe you've more in common with us weaker beings than you thought...
• Lae'zel: There's no call to be insulting.

---

(At Moonrise Towers)

• Gale: Not to diminish our efforts, but it was rather simple getting here in the end, wasn't it?
• Lae'zel: The obstacles ahead of us promise to be higher still -
• Lae'zel: - which will make the pleasure of overcoming them all the more potent.

---

(At Moonrise Towers Oubliette)

• Lae'zel: The right of these prisoners to die in mortal combat was stolen from them.
• Gale: Hardly the worst atrocity the Absolute's committed.
• Lae'zel: One of many, but by no means the least. To die properly is a matter of honour.

---

(At Mind Flayer Colony Tadpoling Centre)

• Lae'zel: A tadpole nursery, as on the nautiloid. We must not leave it intact.
• Gale: Quite right. So long as the attempt won't leave us similarly dismantled...
• Lae'zel: Caution is commendable. Boldness is extraordinary. In this case, I recommend the latter.

---

(At Rivington)

• Lae'zel: Cowards at every turn in this community. In githyanki society, they would be retrained - or culled.
• Gale: Condoning the slaughter of the weak? Not the most charitable perspective to take.
• Lae'zel: I am observing, not condoning. A meaningful difference.

---

(At Baldur's Mouth)

• Lae'zel: Drink, dance, and song. Tu'narath's residents are known to partake in all three. Substantially.
• Gale: Is that so? I assumed there to be little time for frivolity amongst all the fighting.
• Lae'zel: Eternity is long, Gale. Long enough to pursue endeavours beyond combat.
• Lae'zel: Githyanki write symphonies, craft liquors, paint frescos. When they aren't in fierce battle with ghaik, of course.

---

(At Bloomridge Park)

• Lae'zel: These children and their pets lack discipline. Were they githyanki, I'd recommend further training.
• Gale: Not everyone approaches the raising of their young with such militaristic vigour.
• Lae'zel: That is the very purpose of training - to determine which children shall be warriors, and which are suited to other roles.
  
• Lae'zel: As for the unruly animals - they would make for nutritious marching rations.
• Gale: That's certainly one way to make them behave...

---

(At Felogyr's Fireworks)

• Lae'zel: Fireworks - a particularly gnomish field of art, no?
• Gale: Indeed. More than simple craft, it's a way of life for some of them.
• Lae'zel: That may explain why most gnomes possess such short fuses.
• Gale: Lae'zel! Was that a joke?
• Lae'zel: Only if you found it funny.

---

(At Philgrave's Mansion)

• Gale: There's magic here, but it's of a rancid, impure form. Nothing like the true Weave at all.
• Lae'zel: This is why I appreciate a sharp blade to a ball of fire or a bolt of lightning. The Weave is inconsistent, unruly.
• Gale: The Weave is constant, but its users? Anything but. We must be on our guard.
• Lae'zel: A githyanki warrior hardly needs to be told that.

---

(At Harborview Park)

• Lae'zel: These flowers are quite vivid - not to mention, pungent. Not to my liking.
• Gale: Are there no flowers in Tu'narath?
• Lae'zel: In the City of Death, the mlar cultivate the fruiting bodies that sprout from the corpses of the slain.
• Gale: I'd rather get them from my florist in Waterdeep, if it's all the same to you.

---

(At Water Queen's House)

• Lae'zel: Githyanki gish sail skiffs through the Astral Sea, an ocean far larger than Umberlee's.
• Gale: Does the Astral Sea come with an equally irritable goddess?

(If Lae'zel no longer loyal to Vlaakith)

• Lae'zel: Vlaakith holds dominion over the entire plane. And 'irritable' does not even begin to describe her.

(If Lae'zel is still loyal to Vlaakith)

• Lae'zel: Vlaakith holds dominion over the entire plane. And she is not 'irritable' - she is ruthless.

---

(At Szarr Palace)

• Gale: I always wondered what a vampire's lair would look like. Can't say I pictured it being quite this... theatrical.
• Lae'zel: I find it surprisingly similar to Queen Vlaakith's aesthetic.
• Gale: That makes sense. She does have a flair for the dramatic.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 1 romance scene)

• Gale: I'm surprised you're permitted to choose a partner outside of your own people.
• Gale: I can't imagine Mother Gith would approve. Doesn't she prefer us lesser species enslaved? Or eviscerated?
• Lae'zel: We are to use and misuse each civilisation in the stars, in every way we know. I do not conquer by blade alone, Gale.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 2 romance scene)

• Gale: I've been pondering something, Lae-zel. Why is it that githyanki have belly-buttons, when they hatch from eggs?
• Lae'zel: I did not grant you permission to gaze upon my midriff.
• Gale: I - I wasn't gazing, merely observing. Though that can hardly be said for a certain someone else...

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene)

• Gale: Tell me, Lae'zel, is it common for githyanki to fall in love?
• Lae'zel: Love. Is that this feeling in me, then? This ... passion to peel every layer of one's heart to see what light and shadows lurk there?
• Lae'zel: Githyanki have playmates. Thrill-partners. But I'd never heard anyone profess love, nor read of it in our slates.
• Lae'zel: I doubt I am the first githyanki to... to feel this way. But few would ever declare it.

---

(If the player is romancing Gale; after act 1 romance scene)

• Gale: Indulge me, Lae'zel. As someone unfettered by Faerûnian beauty standards, how would you appraise my appearance?
• Lae'zel: Your beard looks like the hairy tufts upon the psurlon, the largest of wormkind that slither our skies.
• Gale: I suppose that's a bad thing? No - don't answer that.

---

(If the player is romancing Gale; after act 2 romance scene)

• Gale: So, Lae'zel - have you ever been tempted to use psionics in your, erm, romantic endeavours?
• Lae'zel: Only once. Did you know, In low-gravity settings, githyanki can maintain aerial suspension for hours at a time?
• Gale: Fascinating - I think the archmage Tasha described a spell with similar effect. I really must look that up...

---

(If the player is romancing Gale; after act 3 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: Gale, I've heard you talking in your sleep. Your mate needs better rest for our journey.
• Gale: And deprive them of the pleasure of hearing my nocturnal postulations? I'd never be so cruel.
• Gale: The mind absorbs much while we believe ourselves dormant. To lie beside Gale of Waterdeep is positively educational.

Lae'zel/banter and Karlach

(While in plains)

• Karlach: Is this your first time on the Sword Coast, Lae'zel?
• Lae'zel: Yes. It is much more... lively... than the githyanki slates led me to believe.
• Karlach: Just wait till you see Baldur's Gate. You'll never want to leave.

---

(While in plains)

• Lae'zel: Smell that? Blood. This whole plain reeks of it.
• Karlach: That'll wake you up of a fine day, won't it.
• Lae'zel: I do not need awakening. My senses are sharp as steel.

---

(At Forest)

• Karlach: Ahh, smell that? Fresh forest air.
• Lae'zel: I smell only fear - the fear of cowards lying in wait for an ambush.
• Karlach: You can take a day off once in a while, Lae'zel.
• Lae'zel: I do not take days off. I'd even forego sleep, if such a thing were feasible. The one advantage an elf holds over a githyanki.

---

(In the Underdark)

• Karlach: Beautiful. Lethal. The Underdark is everything I thought it'd be.
• Lae'zel: And I. This environ seems worthy of a githyanki warrior's estimation.
• Karlach: Ah, to be deemed worthy by the great Lae'zel of Crèche K'liir.
• Lae'zel: Continue as you have, Karlach, and you will achieve the same.

---

(At Rosymorn Monastery)

• Karlach: What a sight. We should stop for a nice little lunch, take it all in.
• Lae'zel: Is the worm gnawing at your grey matter? We must find a crèche and be purified.
• Karlach: True. Fine. First, purify the tadpole, then a little lunch.

---

(On the road to Shadow-Cursed Lands)

• Karlach: Lae'zel, do you want to talk about what happened at the crèche?
• Lae'zel: Trust me. You'll know when I'm ready to discuss it.
• Karlach: Fair enough. But if you change your mind...
• Lae'zel: It is not a matter of mind. It is a matter of faith - and I have been put to the test.

---

(At Shadow-Cursed Lands Forest)

• Karlach: Do I see light? Or am I delusional?
• Lae'zel: Just a mirage. There's not a spot in sight that the gloom hasn't touched.
• Karlach: Damn, you're right. The eyes see what the heart wants.

---

(At Ruined Battlefield)

• Lae'zel: Bones. Rusted weapons. A great battle was fought here.
• Karlach: An extra vicious one, I think. No one buried their dead.
• Lae'zel: Exactly the sort of battle I live to fight. And the sort made even more thrilling with a hot-hearted tiefling at my side.

---

(At Mind Flayer Colony)

• Karlach: Look at all this mucus. Wonder if our nautiloid came from down here.
• Lae'zel: It's a possibility. This is no mere mind flayer colony, but an entire ghaik bastion.
• Karlach: I'm ready for the goo.

---

(At Wyrm's Rock Fortress)

• Lae'zel: A kith'rak's red dragon would have this place down around Gortash's ears in moments.
• Karlach: I'd love to see that. I've always hated this place.
• Lae'zel: It will be far more satisfying to plunge a blade into Gortash myself than to pick through his ashes.

---

(At Wyrm's Rock Fortress)

• Karlach: You know, I've always kind of hated this place. Such ado about a damned bridge.
• Lae'zel: It's just a bridge. Is it really worth all that ire?
• Karlach: C'mon, isn't there something you hate for no good reason?
• Lae'zel: Hm. I dislike owls. Their hyper-mobile necks are quite disconcerting.
• Karlach: You know what, Lae? I couldn't agree more.

---

(At Lady Jannath's Estate)

• Karlach: Phew! Wouldn't mind shacking up in a place like this.
• Lae'zel: Yes - and quite an attractive target for githyanki raiders. They'd plunder the village and fly off with the spoils.
• Karlach: What are you, pirates?
• Lae'zel: To my people, all the planes are a vast garden to be weeded and picked.
• Karlach: Well tell your mates to keep their hoes out of Baldur's Gate.

---

(At House of Hope)

• Karlach: Damn. I swore I'd never come back to the Hells, and here I am.
• Lae'zel: Fate has a way of pulling us along with or without our approval.
• Karlach: Escaping fate happens to be my speciality.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 1 romance scene)

• Karlach: So githyanki undergarments. Very fashionable.
• Lae'zel: The under-harnesses are often used for strapping oneself onto a red dragon.
• Karlach: Fashion and function. You lot really have it all figured out.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 2 romance scene)

• Karlach: Lae'zel, you're actually glowing.
• Lae'zel: It is the sheen of the soldier's sweat on my brow.
• Karlach: The soldier's sweat? Or the lover's?
• Lae'zel: Kain'cha... Speak on it no further.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene)

• Karlach: It's good to see you smiling, Lae'zel.
• Lae'zel: A momentary spasm of the jaw. But perhaps there is cause.
• Lae'zel: Even in this dark hour, there are some things to take heart in.
• Karlach: Couldn't have said it better myself.

---

(If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 1 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: Your years in the Hells have made you a fierce warrior, Karlach.
• Karlach: Fierce in battle, maybe a bit naive in... everything else.
• Lae'zel: In that way, you are like many a young githyanki - wise to the ways of battle, if not to the wider world.
• Karlach: Makes sense. And how are you getting on out here in the world?
• Lae'zel: Mindfully and meticulously.

---

(If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 2 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: Karlach, were there others of Zariel's warriors who bore the infernal engine?
• Karlach: I was the first - not the last. But most didn't survive the process.
• Karlach: The others were all devilkin. I think I was the only lucky winner from Faerûn.
• Lae'zel: You were stronger than the others.
• Karlach: Lucky me.

---

(If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 3 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: A dinner date. At first your request confused me. But then, I became curious...
• Karlach: Think you might like to try it for yourself some time?
• Lae'zel: It sounds terribly understimulating.
• Karlach: Depends on the company.
• Lae'zel: Well. Good thing for us both I make for riveting company.

Lae'zel/banter and Shadowheart

• Shadowheart: So, gith. Aren't you worried your kind will punish you for consorting with us?
• Lae'zel: My name is Lae'zel, k'chakhi.
• Lae'zel: And my kin will understand my need for servants. They will help you, but only if I ask.

---

• Shadowheart: Do you think your kin search for you, Lae'zel?
• Lae'zel: I know they do not. It is my responsibility to cleanse myself.
• Shadowheart: They pursued the nautiloid. Perhaps they were trying to free you.
• Lae'zel: A vain notion. I am one of many and will not be a burden to my Queen.

---

• Shadowheart: Lae'zel, how would you punish someone who wronged you?
• Lae'zel: Wrong me how?
• Shadowheart: Oh, say, murder. Or theft.
• Lae'zel: Killing is good - it culls the weak. But theft would be paid for painfully, a thousand times over.
• Shadowheart: Hmm. Good to know.

---

• Lae'zel: Your sour face is tiring, Shadowheart. By all means leave, if I am so distasteful.
• Shadowheart: I'd rather not turn my back on you, if it's all the same.

---

• Shadowheart: I'll be keeping an eye on you, understand?
• Lae'zel: If I choose to kill you, you will not even see it.

---

(After you've settled their fight over the artifact)

• Lae'zel: I've been watching you fight, Shadowheart. Your skills are improving.
• Shadowheart: My skills were just fine to begin with. You can save the compliments.
• Lae'zel: I don't pay compliments. I make observations.

---

(After you've settled their fight over the artifact)

• Shadowheart: So. Have we buried the hatchet, Lae'zel?
• Lae'zel: No. Why would I bury a weapon? Is it broken?
• Shadowheart: It's a metaphor.
• Lae'zel: I do not know your metaphor. But if you need help digging, I will find a shovel.

---

• Astarion: Shadowheart. Such a grim name for such a beautiful flower.

(If it is not known that Astarion is a vampire)

• Shadowheart: I heard you mumbling that line to yourself earlier - it needs more work.
• Lae'zel: Fortunate for his tongue he didn't say it to me.

(If it is known that Astarion is a vampire)

• Shadowheart: Could you not stare so blatantly at my neck when you say that please?
• Lae'zel: Oh, but do keep calling her 'flower'. She'll love that.

---

• Gale: I was wondering about your queen, Vlaakith. What tales of her reach us are terrifying, but I suppose that's not how you would describe her.
• Lae'zel: Vlaakith is unity: fear and beauty, life and unlife. Eyes like onyx, teeth like daggers. There is none more perfect.
• Shadowheart: Sounds vile. I assume the meaning of 'perfect' was lost in translation...

---

• Shadowheart: What if this crèche doesn't work out, Lae'zel? What if your kin fail you?
• Lae'zel: If I can reach the crèche, my kin will provide - any failure will be mine alone.
• Shadowheart: If you say so. Just don't expect me to put all my eggs in the same basket.
• Gale: That expression must sound curious to a githyanki ear, given the way they're birthed.

---

(In the Underdark)

• Shadowheart: Careful Lae'zel, it's dark around here. Would be a terrible shame to lose you forever.
• Lae'zel: Yes, do keep your wits, Shadowheart. Should a dagger suddenly slice your neck, we may never know who's to blame.

---

(After the confrontation with the Githyanki at Mountain Pass)

• Lae'zel: The traitor kith'rak takes great interest in this relic of yours, Shadowheart. Or should I say... weapon.
• Lae'zel: What are you hiding?
• Shadowheart: Nothing. I assume your kin are just as misguided as you are.

---

(Near Rosymorn Monastery)

• Lae'zel: I believe we're approaching the crèche. Once we're inside, let me do the talking.
• Shadowheart: Just to be clear - you're going to lead us into a nest of githyanki marauders, and we're supposed to trust that will end well for us?
• Lae'zel: Is that a problem?
• Shadowheart: More a sign of the times, I suppose.

---

(At Last Light Inn, if it's cursed)

• Lae'zel: Last Light's defenders - slaughtered, every last one.
• Shadowheart: They didn't deserve this.
• Shadowheart: They were arrogant enough to try and withstand Lady Shar's power. This was always going to be the end result.

---

(Approaching Moonrise Towers)

• Lae'zel: Moonrise Towers at last. Make no mistake - I will have answers about these ghaik tadpoles.
• Shadowheart: Easy, Lae'zel - we need answers, yes, but you catch more flies with honey than vinegar...
• Shadowheart: ... perhaps that doesn't translate. I don't know if githyanki have honey. Or vinegar. Or flies, even. Let's just show some restraint.
• Lae'zel: I'm capable of restraint, just as you're capable of raw fury. I trust we'll find reason to exercise both here.

---

(At Moonrise Towers)

• Lae'zel: I itch to draw my weapon and gut every last one of these cultists.
• Shadowheart: You're keen. Just don't get carried away - some of those guts might be of more use to us unspilled, at least for a while.
• Lae'zel: I know better than to indulge every craving, Shadowheart. But when the time is right, the Absolutists will feel the sting of my blade.

---

(At Moonrise Towers Prison)

• Shadowheart: All those locked cells. A girl could cause all sorts of mischief with skilled fingers and a hairpin...
• Lae'zel: You have done mischief enough with hairpins, if your tresses are an indication. The prisoners would be a hindrance.

(If Shadowheart was there when you saved Lae'zel from the cage, at the start of act 1)

• Shadowheart: A hindrance, you say? Remind me, where did we fetch you from again? Oh that's right - a cage, caught by a couple of tieflings. Interesting.

(Else)

• Shadowheart: I'd rather an extra burden than extra enemies. Anyone the Absolute has captive is one tadpole away from taking up arms against us.

---

(At Morphic Pool)

• Lae'zel: Ready your weapons. This will not be resolved by wits alone.
• Shadowheart: You're right - though I like to think my wits are the best weapon I have.
• Lae'zel: Your high regard for your own wits is no secret to anyone.
• Shadowheart: Touché, Lae'zel! Perhaps wits are contagious.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 1 romance scene)

• Shadowheart: I wouldn't have predicted the night you shared with our friend, Lae'zel. You didn't consider it beneath you?
• Lae'zel: They were beneath me, at times. But also above me, And standing, at certain points.
• Shadowheart: That's enough, I get the picture. Gods, do I get the picture...

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 2 romance scene)

• Shadowheart: I'm a tad surprised you change into more comfortable garb at camp, Lae'zel. You strike me as a 'sleeps in her armour' type.
• Lae'zel: It would cause too much noise during my nighttime... exertions. I do not wish to alert foes of our location.
• Shadowheart: Nighttime exertions...? Oh, I see. Well, considerate of you, I suppose.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene)

(If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar)

• Shadowheart: I am fond of Baldur's Gate, in spite of it's failings. It's the perfect place for Lady Shar's faith to take hold.

(If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar)

• Shadowheart: Baldur's Gate can be dirty, overcrowded, dangerous... but I do like it all the same. Found anything to admire in it, Lae'zel?
• Shadowheart: How about you, Lae'zel? You're new to the city - found anything to admire in it?
• Lae'zel: Admire it? As an overripe fruit ready for plucking, or a fattened calf awaiting the knife, perhaps.
• Lae'zel: This place was constructed as if it wants a foreign power to pillage it.

---

(If the player is romancing Shadowheart; after act 1 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: How do you maintain such an elaborate plait, Shadowheart? The craftsmanship is impressive.
• Shadowheart: Now that you mention it, I can't remember who taught me. Another memory lost, perhaps.
• Lae'zel: Still. If you let me watch your technique, I might learn it from you.
• Shadowheart: Maybe. If you keep a respectable distance.

---

(If the player is romancing Shadowheart; after act 2 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: You are debating allowing another into your heart.
• Shadowheart: Quite the gossip, aren't you? Wouldn't have thought you cared.
• Lae'zel: A formidable woman like yourself does herself no favours in revealing herself to be so erratic, so... uncertain.

---

(If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Selune)

• Lae'zel: I find the locals' fascination with 'the beach' is but a conspiracy for prudes to leer at each other unquestioned.
• Lae'zel: Why does anyone bother wearing swim-garments at all?
• Shadowheart: I'm not inclined to bother, myself, but I suppose it keeps the City Watch at bay.
• Shadowheart: Some act as though displaying bare flesh is a more heinous crime than murder and robbery.

---

(If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Shar)

• Lae'zel: I heard a curious sound in night. What would you know about that, Shadowheart?
• Shadowheart: Lady Shar permits me to plead ignorance.
• Lae'zel: I ask not of Lady Shar - but of you and your paramour.
• Shadowheart: I haven't the faintest idea what you mean. Perhaps a cat pounced on its prey?

Lae'zel/banter and Wyll

• Lae'zel: Every moment a new danger. I may have underestimated this Faerûn.
• Wyll: You don't know the half of it. With a bit of luck, we'll meet a beholder.

---

• Wyll: Lae'zel, have you ever done a good deed just for the sake of it?
• Lae'zel: I have performed deeds well and efficiently. Is this what you mean?
• Wyll: Not exactly. But you answered my question.

---

• Wyll: Mm - Lae'zel, do you believe in love at first sight?
• Lae'zel: I hardly believe in love at all.
• Wyll: Oh.
• Lae'zel: But I do believe in carnal pleasure.
• Wyll: Oh!

---

• Wyll: I've never met anyone like you, Lae'zel.
• Lae'zel: Yes I've been told I'm quite scintillating.
• Wyll: Have you really?
• Lae'zel: No.

---

• Wyll: Lae'zel, you've the most exquisite eyes - golden as the sands of the Calim.
• Lae'zel: And you've a soft skull. A ghaik tentacle will have no issues pushing through it.
• Wyll: Is that... a compliment?
• Lae'zel: No, it is a fact. Life in this Faerûn is laughaby weak.

---

• Lae'zel: The Blade of Frontiers, hm? Do you always need to be the centre of attention?
• Wyll: Anything but. I don't fight to be flattered, Lae'zel. I fight to save lives.

---

• Lae'zel: I've not heard of these 'Flaming Fist'. Enlighten me, Wyll.
• Wyll: The Coast's chief militia, led by none other than Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard himself.

(If it is known that Wyll is the son of Ulder Ravengard)

• Lae'zel: Your father, you mean?
• Wyll: The very same.

---

(If it is known that Wyll has a contract with Mizora)

• Lae'zel: If you wish to be rid of your devil, Wyll, we should just kill her and be done with it.
• Wyll: And incur the wrath of the Hells? I might as well just leap straight into the fires.

---

• Wyll: Can an illithid go solo, Lae'zel? You know - break free of their master?

(If you have met Omeluum)

• Lae'zel: Renegades are rare, but not unheard of.

(If you have not met Omeluum)

• Lae'zel: Renegades are rare, but not unheard of. Omeluum is one such creature.
• Lae'zel: A ghaik gone astray is no less dangerous for it - and its head no less valuable.

---

• Wyll: Who's in charge of the mind flayers, Lae'zel? Is there a squid king or something?
• Lae'zel: No. Each ghaik is servant to an elder brain. No king unites elders - only their collective tyranny.
• Gale: A mind flayer monarch, imagine that. Such a thing could shatter worlds.

---

(Near Rosymorn Monastery)

• Wyll: Lae'zel, are you sure of the greeting we'll find at this crèche of yours?
• Lae'zel: Of course I'll be welcomed. And if you behave, you may keep your head too.
• Wyll: I can count on you to vouch for me, I hope.
• Lae'zel: Don't worry. You're more useful to me alive.

---

(At Crèche Y'llek)

• Lae'zel: How I have longed for these familiar sounds and sights.
• Wyll: Well I'll be. So even the ferocious Lae'zel has a soft side.
• Lae'zel: A possessive side. What is a warrior without something precious to protect?

---

(At Mind Flayer Colony)

• Wyll: Lae'zel - did you ever fight illithid creatures in your training days?
• Lae'zel: Never. The ghaik aboard the nautiloid was the first I ever witnessed in flesh.
• Wyll: Really? I figured you would have joined your fellow gith in a colony raid.
• Lae'zel: A young warrior is expected to fight their first ghaik with their cousins - kin hatched from the same clutch.
• Lae'zel: The ones who triumph earn a place in githyanki society. The one's who don't, perish.

---

(At Rivington)

• Wyll: When I was a child, father sent me to Sharess' Caress to deliver messages.
• Wyll: How was I to know what went on behind its closed doors?
• Lae'zel: Eating, sleeping, and sex acts of all manner, of course.
• Wyll: Hm. What's plain to you wasn't so plain to mini-Wyll.
• Lae'zel: 'Mini-Lae'zel' wasn't so sheltered. On Crèche K'liir, very little is hidden behind doors.

---

(At Eastern Docks)

• Lae'zel: I smell danger on the wind. Keep your weapons ready.
• Wyll: The only thing the wind's carrying is the smell of trout. Lae'zel. We're near the fish market.
• Lae'zel: Discount my warning at your peril.
• Wyll: I get it, Lae'zel - peril, danger, and so forth. All I can think of now is a nice fish dinner.

---

(At Lower City Sewers)

• Lae'zel: Baldur's Gate's sewer system could use a few... improvements.
• Wyll: The smell getting to you, Lae'zel?
• Lae'zel: It isn't the smell that bothers me - it's the inefficiency. An entire underground wasted on waste that could simply be teleported to Wildspace.
• Wyll: Hm. Once the Absolute's finished, I'll be sure to propose your idea to the Council.

---

(At Steel Watch Foundry)

• Wyll: Labour is the lifeblood of every city. Baldur's Gate would perish without its workers.
• Lae'zel: So it is with the githyanki. Without the mlar's swords and ships, and the gardens of our g'lathk, the empire couldn't thrive.
• Wyll: Maybe githyanki and humans aren't so different after all.
• Lae'zel: Let's not carried away, Wyll.

---

(If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 1 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: Wyll, you are a man of great vigour. Why have you not sought a mate any of these nights we have camped?
• Wyll: Ah, well, I admit I've had thoughts about it. In my own way.
• Lae'zel: Do not think, Wyll. Act.

---

(If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 2 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: Does your species release airborne pheromones upon beginning the courtship dance, Wyll?
• Lae'zel: I've heard thus is the way with certain birds of paradise and prey. The chemical induces lowered inhibitions between the pair.
• Wyll: No. I mean, I don't think so. Would you count a light spritz from a vial of jasmine dust as a pheromone?
• Lae'zel: Indubitably.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 1 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: To bind oneself to another forever seems a fool's vow.
• Wyll: Then by all means, call me a fool.
• Wyll: In the Gate especially, it's uncommon to marry your first love nowadays.
• Wyll: But losing that early love is still the regret foremost of forgotten sorrows.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 2 romance scene)

• Wyll: I really didn't expect the affair to last between the two of you, Lae'zel. Is it getting to be something more?
• Lae'zel: We have spilled one another's blood. We have spent blows until utter exhaustion.
• Wyll: Congratulations - I think.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene)

• Wyll: I hope my home can be yours, if you don't go back to the skies.
• Lae'zel: Chk. I have no intention of allowing myself to grow a third stomach and a withered arm in a ducal seat.
• Wyll: I meant the Gate! But you're always welcome for tea.

Lae'zel/banter and Halsin

(At The Counting House)

• Halsin: Such hoarding of wealth. A tomb for riches that could be put to better use.
• Lae'zel: I've heard the same said of bears - the kind you take the shape of. They hoard, gorge, and hibernate through hard times.
• Halsin: True... but only until the thaw, then life goes on. This gold may never see daylight again, while others go cold and hungry.

---

(If the player is romancing Haslin in act 3)

• Lae'zel: You've quite the appetite, Halsin. I'd wager you've bedded more of your foes than you've felled.
• Halsin: Hmm. A challenging sum. The chimera has three heads... but does it still count as one?
• Lae'zel: Must have been a challenging kill.
• Halsin: Kill... yes.

Lae'zel/banter and Minthara

(At Shadow-Cursed Lands Forest)

• Lae'zel: Difficult terrain, cursed or not. Gith dragon-riders prefer flat land and open skies.
• Minthara: Ketheric's undead legions carve paths through the foliage when they pass. It grows back stronger though.
• Lae'zel: A tedious labour well suited to the undead.
• Minthara: Tedious labour does not only suit the dead. Plenty of surface-dwellers are suitable for little else.

---

(At Last Light Inn, if it's protected)

• Minthara: These people seem soldiers by their bearing. What say you, Lae'zel?
• Lae'zel: The enforcers of order - unmistakable in their vigilant bearing. So it goes across all the planes and their peoples.
• Minthara: On this plane, the story always ends the same way. Order collapses, and shadows take the light.

---

(At Mason's Guild Rebel Hideout)

• Minthara: How curious. The shadow curse has not touched this place.
• Lae'zel: And by the looks of it, its riches have gone unplundered.
• Minthara: A faultless observation, Lae'zel. Are all githyanki so quick to come to the essential point?

---

(At House of Healing)

• Lae'zel: A waste of space and resources. Gith triage methods obviate the need for such crude facilities.
• Minthara: Tell me about these methods.
• Lae'zel: A githyanki ghustil can summon Astral energy to heal most any wound.
• Lae'zel: If a warrior's lacerations are beyond even their ability, the victim is beheaded.
• Minthara: Efficient. We have much to learn from one another.

---

(At House of Healing Morgue)

• Lae'zel: I have seen many a gruesome death, but even I can't fathom some of the horrors inflicted in this supposed 'House of Healing'.
• Minthara: You're young, child. If you survive as long as I have, you will witness greater horrors than this.
• Lae'zel: If you are fortunate, you may even inflict greater horrors in the name of your cause.

---

(At Mind Flayer Colony)

• Lae'zel: A ghaik colony. Illithids are certainly the driving force behind this Absolute cult.
• Minthara: The hierarchy of command is not yet clear, child. Can you be sure the illithids are in control?
• Lae'zel: I know what I see - my mortal enemies. And I know what must be done about them.

---

(At Basilisk Gate)

• Minthara: There is no true authority in this city. The guards are more degenerate than the criminals.
• Lae'zel: True warriors among the city's Flaming Fist seem exceedingly rare. The worst are mere rats scurrying about their warren.
• Minthara: And what do we do with rats, Lae'zel? We hang them by the tails, and burn their warrens.

---

(In the North Alleys)

• Lae'zel: Ah - the smell of fresh blood spilled on stone. It reminds me of the tunnels within my home of K'liir.
• Minthara: I would like to visit your home one day, Lae'zel. Where is K'liir?
• Lae'zel: You may know it as Stardock. An asteroid, one of the Tears of Selûne. It's tunnels are home to all manner of creatures to hunt.
• Lae'zel: Vicious, unrelenting. The sort of place I imagine you'd take to, Minthara.

---

(At The Lodge)

• Minthara: The Society of Brilliance! These preposterous fools love to meddle in Underdark affairs - they are most amusing.
• Lae'zel: Amusing? Wherein lies the humour?
• Minthara: They seek to promote peace between species through mutual understanding. Ha.
• Lae'zel: Even my people know the value of a carefully crafted coalition, Minthara. Is our own alliance not a case in point?

---

(At Guildhall)

• Lae'zel: Two sides, each itching to draw blades against the other.
• Minthara: The sensation is contagious. Which should we oppose?
• Lae'zel: Either or both, so long as I get to spill blood.

---

(At Morphic Pool)

• Minthara: We drow are sensitive to psionic power. And this place throbs with mental power such as I have never known.
• Lae'zel: It threatens all of us, gith and mud worlder alike. But even the brightest blaze can be extinguished.
• Minthara: Extinguish it? I intend to seize it. Power exists to be wielded.

---

(If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 2 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: Our leader is a fool for love, Minthara. I'd never be compelled to conduct such a poorly-planned jailbreak.
• Minthara: They did not do it for love. They did it for my prowess in combat, as well as coitus. I excel in both.
• Lae'zel: As do I. Sometimes the acts are not dissimilar.

---

(If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 3 romance scene)

• Lae'zel: At what age do you think it is right to set a child upon mortal combat?
• Minthara: The moment it can hold a blade. It may even test its resilience against some common poisons while it is still in the womb.
• Lae'zel: Tsk'va. We do not wilfully risk our young until they are of thirteen years. No point wasting battle-flesh before it's primed.

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 2 romance scene)

• Minthara: A few pointers, Lae'zel. I heard you and your lover locked in combat, but the test you set was not rigorous enough.
• Minthara: Next time, tie them to the ground, and do not release them until you are both satisfied.
• Lae'zel: Hmm. You have given me ideas...

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene)

• Minthara: You fight harder than ever now that you have a lover to protect from harm, Lae'zel.
• Minthara: The githyanki should encourage relations between their soldiers. It is a proven tactic for morale.
• Lae'zel: We need no boon for morale - I fight well when there is kin at my side. And now, I count one more among them.

Lae'zel/banter and Jaheira

(At Grey Harbour Docks)

• 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?

---

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene)

• 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.
• Lae'zel: If only I might have remained there. Oh, to soar the skies above Tu'narath atop a red dragon...

Lae'zel/banter and Minsc

(If the player is romancing Lae'zel; after act 3 romance scene)

• Minsc: Bah! Fine, Boo. Lae'zel - my hamster wishes me to tell you:
• Minsc: You are the most beautiful thing he has ever seen.
• Lae'zel: I'm afraid I can't return the sentiment - but I know of some githyanki who would find him quite... appealing. Mouth-watering, in fact.
