Dialogue

Bastion of Knowledge

Just before the event starts

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Faraway demons. Now close. The rifts. Invading our home. Like it invades my thoughts. But no. No!

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: I waver no longer. It aims to penetrate my mind, but my mind is mine! I've read the books! I will control my enemies!

Event start

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Concentrate on the Kryptis. Evade the tentacle. I will interrogate...myself. The demon. In my head.

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Names have power, parasite. I name you...Louse. Tell me your secrets, Louse. Quieter. Less screaming.

Peitha: They hold one of my people at bay in their mind? Separate? Or...who possesses whom, here? Curious...

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Use the ward breaker. Tear its armor away—ah, Louse hates that idea! (laughs) Now you want quiet? (laughs louder)

When the armor of the Tentacle of Nourys is broken

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Attack the limb, now. Louse's ravings suggest we'll draw the atten— You're giving me a headache!

Champion Avatar of Envy spawns

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: A High Kryptis. You told me so? You gloat? A gloating Louse in my head?

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Get out. Get out! Kill the High Kryptis. Get out of my head!

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Louse howls of orbs and impending doom. We'd best destroy those.

After killing the Champion Avatar of Envy

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: The tentacle is weak, now—FOUL MORTALS, ANY HARM TO LORD EPARCH'S FAVORED—(grunts) now, now...

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Victory is close. Louse fights for control of my mind. Like a cornered...louse.

When the rift is susceptible to closure

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: Your device. Close the rift. Close the rift. Close. The. Rift.

Event success

Head Archivist Wavering Heart: We did it. Who's gloating now? I need... I need...something for this INFERNAL headache!
