Dialogue

Event start

Captain Emund: The sooner we get this essence, the sooner I can get back to fighting the Kryptis. Somewhere cooler, ideally.

Captain Emund: There's no shortage of despair around here, that's for sure, so get to work.

During the event

Captain Emund: You're pretty good at this. Hopefully I'll get to actually join in a fight one of these days.

Captain Emund: I feel bad for these Zaishen. Can you imagine meeting your god and finding out that he hates you?

Captain Emund: I'm glad this isn't how our world turned out. Uh, keep it up, you're doing great.

Captain Emund: Is this really because of us? I have to talk to Mabon about this...

Upon completing a Forged lure, one of the following

Veteran Forged Warhound/Vanguard: What? This is not... Deceivers! You will pay for this!

Veteran Forged Officer/Vanguard: You dare defile Balthazar's chosen? You will burn for this!

Event success

Captain Emund: All right, that should cover it here. You'll...uh...you'll mention my contributions to Mabon, right?
