Dialogue

Dragon Bash

After (in The Dead End)

She's worried we won't have any clients. I keep telling her, as dark as this world is, there will always be someone who needs help.

I know what you mean.

Blood and Madness

At Thunder Ridge Camp

It's so hot here. My sweat is sweating. I suddenly understand why krait are so irritable.

What's going on here?

No clue yet. They're krait. Naturally mysterious and—as we've covered—irritable. All I know is they're up to no good, and there's an anomaly in the water out there.

An anomaly? How's that?

An illusion, if Kasmeer's right. There's an area we can't breech[sic]. An invisible barrier.

Why are you here?

The Great and Gorgeous Mesmer Collective, or whatever they call themselves, contacted Kasmeer to come down and take a look. Seems they admire her for more than her looks.

I see.

See you later.

Ambient dialogue

Kasmeer Meade: I think I'm perspiring.

Marjory Delaqua: Now I've seen everything.

Tower of Nightmares

At Thunder Ridge Camp

Glad you're here. I need help gathering more spore samples so I can find an antitoxin to counteract this tower's poison.

(If not unlocked the Toxic Spore Sampler achievement)

You can have 1 of my spare samples.

Thanks. I can use these.

You can have 1 of my spare samples.

You can have 5 of my spare samples.

You can have 10 of my spare samples.

You're welcome.

(If unlocked the Toxic Spore Sampler achievement)

Can I trade my extra samples for supplies?

What else can I do to help?

Cut down the toxic offshoots sprouting up around Kessex Hills and the surrounding areas before they poison everyone. And speak to Arcanist Dolja. I hear she's looking into the krait angle in all this.

I'll do what I can.

I think I must have missed something. (Replay "The Nightmare Unveiled.")

Maybe later.

Ambient dialogue

Primary article: Thunder Ridge/historical#Tower of Nightmares

Marjory Delaqua: I've been thinking about Scarlet.

Kasmeer Meade: She can't have you.

Marjory Delaqua: She's behind all these crazy alliances. I'd rest my reputation on...wait. What did you say?

Kasmeer Meade: (laugh) I think you're right. She has all the landmarks of a blooming psycho hag.

Kasmeer Meade: Do you think they've caught Scarlet yet?

Marjory Delaqua: Doubt it. She's slicker than an ooze in oil.

Kasmeer Meade: I still can't believe she got so deep past the Seraph and the Shining Blade.

Marjory Delaqua: Case in point.

Marjory Delaqua: Krait bait.

Kasmeer Meade: I beg your pardon?

Marjory Delaqua: Oh, nothing. I was just imagining you going into that tower.

Kasmeer Meade: Marjory?

Marjory Delaqua: Yes?

Kasmeer Meade: If we don't make it out...

Marjory Delaqua: We will. Promise.

Marjory Delaqua: You did your bit, Kas. Go on back to Divinity's Reach where it's safer.

Kasmeer Meade: You're sweet, but I couldn't leave you here alone.

Marjory Delaqua: I'll be fine, cupcake. Go on now.

Kasmeer Meade: Mmm, I don't think so. I would, but to be honest I'm itching to see what's in that tower. I think I'll stay.

Marjory Delaqua: Hm. If you insist.

Kasmeer Meade: The moment they break into the tower, we should head down there.

Marjory Delaqua: What's your hurry? Let them clear it out a bit first.

Kasmeer Meade: This whole place has mesmer magic woven through it. I don't want to miss a single thing.

Marjory Delaqua: I see. Curiosity killed the cat, you know?

Kasmeer Meade: Meeeow!

A Very Merry Wintersday

At Thunder Ridge Camp

Hi there. Everyone's feeling better, it seems. Even the animals are frolicking. Chalk up for the good guys.

So, what do you think Scarlet was up to?

Your guess is as good as mine. She nearly poisoned all of Tyria with this plant. I'm betting she was after the toxin it created. Is that what you think too?

Yes. She never does anything without a reason.

So it seems. The lady obviously has a plan. We're gonna have to stop her, you know? Whatever the cost.

I agree.

No. I think she was just messing with us again.

You may be right. She's crazy as a loon under a full moon. She sure seems to dislike you. What'd you do to her?

I took away her toys.

No time for conjecture. Good-bye.

Good-bye.

At The Dead End

Kasmeer's all fired up about Scarlet. Truth is, we both think we need to do something about her. Further investigation. Have you heard of Beigarth?

(If not norn)

Beigarth who?

Some norn who lives in Hoelbrak. Apparently, he trained Scarlet for a while. I'm guessing he has some information on her. Someone should go talk to him.

You mentioned E. What do you know?

Not enough. We call him a 'he,' but we don't know if that's true. All we know is that he knows a lot. So, he must be fairly well connected. He hasn't been wrong yet.

He contacts you often?

Often enough. Usually with some tip about wrongdoings that need righted. You?

Me too.

I see.

I agree.

(If norn)

There's a Beigarth in Hoelbrak.

That's the one. He apparently trained Scarlet for a while. One of us should go find out what he knows.

You mentioned E. What do you know? (same as above)

I agree.

Ambient dialogue

Kasmeer Meade: I can't believe she just sauntered into Divinity's Reach like that.

Kasmeer Meade: Our poor queen. She must be beside herself. Our city, violated.

Kasmeer Meade: This is our home. Are we not safe even here?

Marjory Delaqua: Kas. Darlin', why don't you sit down. You're making my head spin.

Kasmeer Meade: Sit? Are you kidding? How can I sit? We have to do something.

Marjory Delaqua: What do you suggest we do?

Kasmeer Meade: Find Scarlet. Someone in this city knows something. We should talk to people. I'll know if they're lying.

Marjory Delaqua: Hm. You better be careful. People will start thinking that pretty head of yours isn't just for decoration.

Marjory Delaqua: How long you in town for?

Rox: Not much longer.

Braham Eirsson: She's on leave, so we're exploring the city. But, she has to get back soon. She's trying out for Rytlock Brimstone's warband.

Rox: Braham!

Braham Eirsson: What?

Kasmeer Meade: THE Rytlock Brimstone? That's amazing. So, you've met him? What's he like?

Rox: He's the kind of warrior who'd kill you for talking about his personal business.

Kasmeer Meade: Oh. Forget I asked.

Marjory Delaqua: Our mystery man has been in touch.

Kasmeer Meade: You mean E? What'd he want?

Marjory Delaqua: To warn us, it seems. He says there's a war coming to our doorsteps, a war for all of Tyria.

Kasmeer Meade: I don't suppose he could be any more mysterious, could he?

Marjory Delaqua: I agree. I don't think he was trying hard enough.

Escape from Lion's Arch

This is far worse than I ever imagined anything could be. Everyone's saying it's Scarlet.

What else are they saying?

Her allies are all over the city. Molten Alliance are attacking the south side, and Aetherblades are invading the streets to the north.

We knew this would happen.

You figured it out. I hate that you were right. She's landing that giant drill on the probe. Taimi must be right about it being a ley line.

And she's taking no chances.

No, she's hitting us with everything she's got—all the better to ensure success. I don't see how we can win this one.

Our focus, for now, is to keep the exit paths open.

Understood.

At Bouldermouth Vale camp

Kasmeer Meade: I don't think we're going to win this battle.

Marjory Delaqua: I know what you mean. For every one we save, three more die. You can stay here, if you'd like.

Kasmeer Meade: Not if you're going back in. We're a team.

Marjory Delaqua: Even if we only save one more, it's worth it.

Kasmeer Meade: Agreed.

Kasmeer Meade: So, this is what it's like to have a mission. To be an adventurer. Danger, risk.

Marjory Delaqua: You don't have to do this, sweetheart.

Kasmeer Meade: I know I don't. But, being with you has made me want to be a better person.

Kasmeer Meade: And this is what better people do.

Marjory Delaqua: You're already night perfect in my eyes.

Kasmeer Meade: Careful there, Miss Delaqua. You're going to make me blush.

Marjory Delaqua: You're cold.

Kasmeer Meade: F-f-freezing.

Marjory Delaqua: Too bad you can't mesmer up a fur cloak to keep you warm

Kasmeer Meade: (laugh) I don't need one. I have you. Come on over here.

Marjory Delaqua: With Pleasure.

Kasmeer Meade: I wonder how Rox and Braham are doing.

Marjory Delaqua: Knowing them, they're probably happy as clams, tearing into Aetherblades or toxic krait.

Kasmeer Meade: I'm really glad we've all met. I have a good feeling about our little guild.

Marjory Delaqua: It was serendipity, perhaps. Or the gods may still be watching over us after all.

Kasmeer Meade: I choose to believe they are. Praise the Six.

Kasmeer Meade: What was it like for you? In the Ministry Guard

Marjory Delaqua: It was a job like any other job. Except I got to eat, sleep, and breathe it.

Kasmeer Meade: When did you join?

Marjory Delaqua: As soon as I was able. My father...isn't nice like yours was. Nor is my family wealthy.

Kasmeer Meade: I'm sorry.

Marjory Delaqua: Not your fault. It is what it is.

Kasmeer Meade: Do you see your family?

Marjory Delaqua: My mother, yes. And my sisters. Not my father. Not if I can avoid it.

Kasmeer Meade: So, when did you join the Durmand Priory?

Marjory Delaqua: Shortly after I quit the guard. I knew I'd need to be able to tap a good source of information to be a detective.

Kasmeer Meade: I'm surprised you didn't choose the Order of Whispers.

Marjory Delaqua: Those rats? Nah. They're too secretive, even among themselves.

Kasmeer Meade: Besides, dressed as you are, I bet you stand out more at the Priory than among Whispers.

Marjory Delaqua: (laugh) Exactly. Presentation is everything.

Marjory Delaqua: Looks like the miasma's clearing out. You sure you wouldn't rather stay here?

Kasmeer Meade: Not on your life. Where you go, I go.

Marjory Delaqua: Kas—

Kasmeer Meade: C'mon! Let's go save some people.

At Postern Ward

Marjory Delaqua: In case I don't get the chance later, let me just say...I'm happy you're here. (When approaching Marjory.)

Marjory Delaqua: We'll get this done together, pal. (When approaching Marjory.)

Marjory Delaqua: No fight like the present, hm my friend? (chuckle) (When approaching Marjory.)

Marjory Delaqua: Kasmeer, stay close. Do you smell that? It's the Toxic Alliance. They've left their mark all over this place.

Kasmeer Meade: I don't like the looks of this. Scarlet's taking over the entire city.

Marjory Delaqua: Taking it over or destroying it. I'm not sure which.

Kasmeer Meade: All these poor Lion's Archlings. Tossed from their homes.

Marjory Delaqua: Archlings?

Kasmeer Meade: (Laugh) Yes. I didn't like Lion's Archers. C'mon. Let's clear some of these glowy things out of here.

Battle for Lion's Arch

In Lornar's Pass refugee camp

Your deductive skills are impressive. If you hadn't put all the clues together and come up with "Lion's Arch," we'd still be scrambling to get here.

It was your contacts that got us the evidence.

Teamwork, then. (sigh) It's pure madness in the city. I've seen dark things in my life, but nothing like this. This is the definition of evil.

Scarlet has to be our first priority. How are you?

I'm fine. Kas is keeping up a brave face, but her hiccups have worsened. She does that when she's afraid. It'd be adorable if it didn't only happen under terrible circumstances.

Why doesn't she wait here?

I've suggested it, but she won't let me go in alone. Part of me is thankful she's beside me. Another part is scared something will happen to her.

As long as you have each other, you'll be fine, Marjory.

Thanks!

In Lion's Arch (Under Attack!)

This is far worse than I ever imagined anything could be. Everyone's saying it's Scarlet.

What else are they saying?

Her allies are all over the city Molten Alliance are attacking the south side, Aetherblades are invading the streets to the north.

We knew this would happen.

You figured it out. I hate that you were right. She's landing that giant drill on the probe. Taimi must be right about it being a ley line.

Our focus, for now, is to keep the exit paths open.

Understood.

Ambient dialogue

Kasmeer Meade: Tell me about your family. What are your mother and sisters like?

Marjory Delaqua: Not much to tell. My mother sews dresses for a living. Two of my sisters are married, and the other is a Seraph.

Kasmeer Meade: Do you think I could meet them someday?

Marjory Delaqua: I don't know, Kas. Maybe.

Kasmeer Meade: But...

Marjory Delaqua: Let's talk about it later, when the world isn't crashing down around our heads.

Kasmeer Meade: So many dead. Have you ever seen anything so terrible?

Marjory Delaqua: No. Never. Destruction on this scale will make the history books.

Kasmeer Meade: The legacy of a lunatic.

Marjory Delaqua: Calling her crazy diffuses the blame. This isn't madness; this is evil. Straight black. Blacker than a moonless night.

Kasmeer Meade: Get those survivors clear! This area isn't safe. Move them to the order camps outside the gate!

Kasmeer Meade: Go on. Go with... the Lionguard. Why are you staring at me, Jory?

Marjory Delaqua: I'm just admiring you.

Kasmeer Meade: Is this really the time?

Marjory Delaqua: Not like that. I'm admiring how strong you've become since you showed up, looking for work. You're amazing.

Kasmeer Meade: You're a good influence.

Marjory Delaqua: (chuckle) You aren't nearly as commanding when you blush.

Kasmeer Meade: After this is over, I think we should take a vacation. Somewhere warm, where nothing wants to kill us.

Marjory Delaqua: I'd say we've earned it. Where do you want to go? The Grove? Rata Sum? Back to Southsun?

Kasmeer Meade: Not Southsun! I said somewhere things don't want to kill us. I still have nightmares about karka.

When Assault Knights appear

Marjory Delaqua: Stay close, Kasmeer! We're taking Lion's Arch back!

When Assault Knight event begins

Marjory Delaqua: Three of them? Scarlet never does anything small.

When either Assault Knight or Prime Hologram event fails

Marjory Delaqua: This isn't working! Run, Kas! Run!

Kasmeer Meade: Oh dear. Running! Running...

Scarlet's Prime Hologram

You're determined to fight all the way to Scarlet. Right?

Absolutely. We can't let Scarlet escape.

After completing Scarlet's End

Before you even say it...I know.

You shouldn't be on your feet.

It's just pain. I can't be bedridden while there are still people in danger. I'll rest and heal later.

And what about Kasmeer? She's upset.

I...I know. But she understands that I have to do this. I want nothing more than to take her home, but...people are dying. I'll be careful, for her.

You better. You owe me a drink.
