Dialogue[edit]

Intro cinematic:

Marjory Delaqua: It could have been just another dreary night in the same ol' smoky bar, with that siren song lulling drunks and lonely hearts deeper into their sorrows.
Marjory Delaqua: It could've been. But then, HE walked in.
Marjory Delaqua: Logan Thackeray. The man with all the answers. Well, some of the answers, some of the time.
Captain Logan Thackeray: Marjory Delaqua?
Marjory Delaqua: If it suits you.
Captain Logan Thackeray: It suits me just fine. I want to hire you. There's been a murder. Lion's Arch councillor Theo Ashford is dead, and I want to know who's responsible.
Marjory Delaqua: Sounds like a job for the Lionguard. What's got you piqued?
Captain Logan Thackeray: Between you and me, Ashford's an old friend of the family. I want to make sure they find his killer.
Marjory Delaqua: I see. And you don't trust the Lionguard.
Captain Logan Thackeray: Let's just say I'm hedging my bets. The pay's good. You in?
Marjory Delaqua: How can I say no to Captain Lo–
Captain Logan Thackeray: No names. I was never here.
Marjory Delaqua: Maybe not, but your money is. I'm in.
Captain Logan Thackeray: Lady Kasmeer. What are you doing in a place like this?

After the cinematic:

Lady Kasmeer Meade: Excuse me, Jory. What did Logan Thackeray want?
Marjory Delaqua: Justice, I guess. And he paid in advance.
Lady Kasmeer Meade: Where are you going this time?
Marjory Delaqua: Lion's Arch. Come along, if you like. I could use your special talents. Besides, Dragon Bash is in full swing.
Lady Kasmeer Meade: (gasp) Thank you. That's so kind. I believe I shall.
Speaking to Marjory
You're showing an unnatural and unhealthy interest in my business. Is there something I can do for you?

Speaking to Kasmeer
Hello. You're here to assist with the investigation into the murder in Lion's Arch?
Talk more option tango.png That's right. Name's <Character name>, my lady.
Pleased to meet you. By all means, call me Kasmeer. However did you know to come here?
Talk more option tango.png E sent me.
Ah, the mysterious Mister E. I see. Well, your assistance will be more than welcome, I'm sure.
Talk end option tango.png I'll see you in Lion's Arch.
Talk end option tango.png I'll tell you some other time.
