Lionguard Guide

Ambient dialogue

Citizen (1): Another glorious day in the plaza! Folks from all over... shopping... talking...

Citizen (2): You should see what it's like during a festival!

Citizen (1): That would be wonderful! When's the next one?

Citizen (2): Wait and see, kid. Wait and see.

Scholar (asura): I'm forming a guild with just asura and norn. It's called "Brains and Brawn."

Hunter (norn): Why not sylvari and golems? You could call it "Sticks and Stones."

Citizen (1): I love this city.

Citizen (2): Which part? The corruption? The crime? Or the undead?

Citizen (1): The sunsets. The gardens. The markets. The neighbors saying hi.

Citizen (2): Are we living in the same city?

Citizen (1): Yes we are. And I love this city.

Citizen (1): Will ya look at this? So many people.

Citizen (2): [sinisterly] And so much money to make.

Adventurer (human): You know where I can find a temple? I need to make an offering.

Citizen (asura): I wouldn't know. Gold is my god.

Adventurer (human): That's sacrilige! I thought you guys believed in...some kinda alchemy.

Citizen (asura): That's science. This is business. I'm not here for enlightenment. I'm here for profit.

Traveler: Why do so many notorious killers and brigands roam freely around the city?

Lionguard (1): Hey. Killers and brigands kept this city alive after the flood.

Lionguard (2): They've always been a big part of the Lion's Arch economy. And its charm.

At Gate Hub Plaza

Traveler (norn): If I track a wounded animal through a gate, would the gate's energy cauterize the wound?

Gate Technician: I...I haven't the faintest idea. My ears! What in intriguing question.

Traveler (norn): What do your ears have to do with it?

Traveler (sylvari): I hate gate travel. For a split second, I feel completely disconnected from the Dream.

Traveler: It's perfectly safe. Gate travel was perfected centuries ago. Mishaps are exceedingly rare.

Traveler (sylvari): I don't care about centuries. I'm worried about that one second when I'm all alone.

Traveler: Why do you charge extra for oversized items? That service should be included.

Gatekeeper: Fine. I'll even offer free gate travel if you provide me with a lifetime supply of rifles.

Traveler: What would you do with so many rifles?

Gatekeeper: Protect my precious gate from freeloaders.

Gate Technician: I need to run a series of thermalogic diagnostics on the gate later.

Gatekeeper: Any potential problems I should be concerned about?

Gate Technician: There's a slight possibility of intermittent interruptions in power.

Gatekeeper: Assuming everyone arrives in no more than one piece, I won't worry.

Traveler: How long will it take to get to Divinity's Reach?

Gatekeeper: Travel time is instantaneous, ma'am. You enter the gate here and exit there.

Traveler: I need one of these between my house and the market.
