Ambient dialogue[edit]

Guard (male): I came as soon as I heard what you're doing for the Risen. How long have you been here?
Guard (female): Long enough to know we have years of work ahead of us.
Guard (male): Now that I'm here I don't find it so hard to imagine that Orr was under the ocean for so long.
Guard (female): Can you imagine what it must have been like the day it sank? All those people...
Guard (male): Horrible. Whole families... Just horrible.
Guard (female): Will the smell of death ever leave this place?
Guard (male): Only if we keep turning them into mulch and grow fragrant flowers.
Guard (female): The ruins make it easier to stay out of the hands of the Risen. Use them to your advantage.
Guard (male): Is that why you made camp here?
Guard (female): That, and access to the shore.
Treasure Hunter (female): I don't want to go back to the Bal'zar place. I'm allergic to lava.
Treasure Hunter (male): Whatever you say.
Treasure Hunter (male): Once they get the energy flowing around here, we can get into Abaddon.
Treasure Hunter (female): Been locked for a long time. That's the mother lode.
Treasure Hunter (male): Yup.
Treasure Hunter (male): ♪ And-a one for me. And-a none for ye. And-a ton for me. And-a gun for ye. ♪
Treasure Hunter (female): What's that you're singing?
Treasure Hunter (male): Oh, nothing! Just an ol' tune from when I was a cub. Pay no attention.
Treasure Hunter (female): The greater the risk, the greater the treasure.
Treasure Hunter (male): We're going to be rich beyond our wildest dreams.
Treasure Hunter (female): Only if we get out of here alive.
Treasure Hunter (male): Keep watch. Those rotting clunkers can be surprisingly stealthy.
Treasure Hunter (female): What are you going to do?
Treasure Hunter (male): Check our loot, in case your fingers got sticky on that last find.
Treasure Hunter (female): I think I'll keep watch on you.
Botanist: How many dead Orrians does it take to reclaim Orr?
Scholar: I don't know. How many?
Botanist: All of them. 'Cause sylvari are naturals at composting.
Scholar: That's not funny.
Botanist: How odd. Those charr I was talking to thought it was hilarious.
Botanist: I have many questions about this place and its inhabitants.
Scholar: I can endeavor to answer them.
Botanist: To start, what's a reliquary?
Scholar: From what I can tell, it's a fancy word for crate, but religious. They come in all sizes and are used for storing relics.
Botanist: Did they really build all this for the sole purpose of honoring their gods?
Scholar: Evidence suggests they did, back when the gods were still living here.
Botanist: But their gods left them. Why do they still think so highly of them?
Scholar: That is a question that may forever baffle us scholars.
Scholar: Have you met any of the ghosts?
Botanist: I'm avoiding them. Meeting ghosts that were alive before my race was born gives me the creeps.
Kid: I don't like it here. Why did we come?
Warrior: I wanted you to see the horrors that exist in our world. A true hunter doesn't hunt only forest animals.
Warrior: Every one of these Risen once had a normal life like you and me. Through a series of disastrous events, they were changed.
Warrior: What we're doing for them, killing them, is putting them out of a misery that has lasted far too long.
Kid: Can't we let someone else do this?
Warrior: Is that something Eir Stegalkin would have said? No.
Warrior: You're the hero. This is what heroes do.
Kid: Can I be a legendary blacksmith instead?
Warrior: You never want to get close to mindless creatures if you don't have to. They're unpredictable.
Kid: And if I do?
Warrior: Then you give it all you've got. And if that's not good enough, run.
Kid: Run away?
Warrior: Live to fight another day.
Kid: Can't we go kill drakes? These Risen are so disgusting. My weapons are all... gooey.
Warrior: We'll kill drakes when we get home. Today, we learn to overcome our disgust.
Warrior: I want you covered in musk before the day is over.
Kid: Wolf's teeth, Father!
Volunteer (male): Keep your eyes open. I'm going to close mine for a few minutes.
Volunteer (female): Napping? Out here?
Volunteer (male): Just drowsing. This water is so warm and relaxing. I want to put down roots.
Volunteer (female): My turn next.
Volunteer (1): In the Grove, they're saying that you're cleansing the Risen, bringing them back from the dragon.
Volunteer (2): I wish that were true, but they cannot be saved. We are showing them mercy and returning them to the soil.
Volunteer (1): Oh, that's disappointing.
Volunteer (2): I cannot disagree.
Guard: It feels right to return these poor creatures back to the land.
Explorer: Nature approves.
Guard: They've earned a bit of mercy.
Helper Qiana: I see now that Zhaitan delivered destruction and death. Mordremoth brought life.
Explorer: Makes sense. The life it brought was dark and dangerous, but it was life nonetheless.
Helper Qiana: And yet, we are not dark and dangerous.
Explorer: Are we not?
Explorer: If the Pale Tree had not separated herself from Mordremoth, we would be like these Risen.
Helper Qiana: Without willpower. It is a terrible thing to consider.
Explorer: We owe our mother everything.
Worker: I wonder what it feels like to be a Risen.
Krewe Leader: Is it possible they've been trapped inside their own decaying bodies, all this time?
Worker: Do you suppose they're in pain?
Worker: If only we could find a way to communicate with them.
Worker: I'm still finding it hard to sleep here. The night is so loud.
Krewe Leader: Me too. The Risen are so persistent.
Worker: I think the word you're looking for is restless. It's contagious.
Worker: I still can't believe you walked up to that one and said, "Rrrrowrrr... Frrrieeeend..."
Krewe Leader: It was worth a try.
Worker: And did you get the response you expected?
Krewe Leader: Sadly, yes. I'm glad you were there to kill it.
Botanist (male): What's your plan? Is there a plan?
Botanist (female): There was one.
Botanist (male): In the time we've been here, we haven't even managed to hold the beach. They just keep coming.
Botanist (female): Our hope is to take it back section by section
Botanist (male): I will help. And others will come too. We'll take it back.

(After the event Weaken the undead so Scholar Anka can capture them is finished.)

Explorer: She's being ridiculous. You know as well as I do that we cannot cure these poor creatures.
Helper Qiana: I know. The corruption has changed them too much. They didn't have a protector like we did.
Explorer: Their willpower is gone, their memories too.
Explorer: They creep along, eating whatever is in their path.
