Dialogue[edit]
- Ten minutes before event begins
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Attention, ward. Preliminary signs of...multiple rift anomalies. Possible equipment malfunction...
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Never seen preliminary data show simultaneous interdimensional erosion on this scale.
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: I'm running diagnostics, but we should move to readiness level one. Finish all current tasks and prepare for incursion.
- Start of event
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Incursions imminent! Rift warnings...everywhere! Astral Ward, report to your bastions!
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Head to your designated— Spirits... Over the spire... What...what is that?
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: One thing at a time. All available ward, to your bastions immediately! Search and seal! Close those rifts!
- Heading to the Spire's Heart before summons are completed
- Dagda: It'll ravage your mind if you stay up here. Return to a summoning platform before it drives you mad!
- Upon closing all six tentacle rifts
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Attention, ward. Report to the landing immediately for a strategy briefing.
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Those injured or assisting the injured make your way to the infirmary at the Bastion of the Natural.
- Astral ward members begin to convene for the strategy briefing.
- Frode: We've done well to hold them off. But if we're going to force them out, we have no choice...
- Gol: Remain calm. Remove emotion. Focus on the task at hand. Only then can we overcome.
- Captain Emund: Judging by the look of you all, I'm not the only one who nearly died back there. Hm. Is that discouraging or reassuring?
- R'tchikk: Friends! It is a great relief to see all of your faces. R'tchikk feared the worst.
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: So many of you, still fighting. The happiness in my heart nearly drowns out the screaming in my head.
- Head Cartographer Pavish: I told them not to test us! Wait...is there more fighting to do?
- Once everyone is gathered for the strategy briefing.
- Dagda: Attention, ward! Damaging the tentacles is hurting the creature. But I'm afraid it may not be enough.
- Frode: We're out of options, Dagda. It has to be Mosaic Wrath. We have to summon the guardians.
- R'tchikk: The power the guardians consume—decades to build, minutes to deplete...
- Dagda: We only get one chance at Operation Mosaic Wrath; if we summon them now, we'll be vulnerable, even if we're victorious.
- Frode: Better vulnerable than defeated. I only hope we're not too late already. Can you and Lyhr buy us the time?
- Lyhr: Either we do or we're all dead.
- Random
- Dagda: Death is a luxury we can't afford. If the guardians are spent, the ward's all that stands between the Kryptis and Tyria.
- Dagda: And there are fates worse than death.
- Random
- Livia: There's a parasitic subspecies called a Puppeteer Ooze that can enter the skull through any open orifice—
- Gol: One could posit that "good" and "bad" do not apply to life and death. Given our current situation, the tranquility of—
- Zizel: Sadly true. An apprentice once brewed a tincture with weevil secretions rather than beetle. Has phantom tongue pain now—
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Multiple rift warnings! Breeches imminent on upper platforms!
- Dagda: You're right, Frode. Lyhr and I will distract the beast from above. Do we have the numbers to support the summoners?
- Frode: As a shrewd wizard once told me, "Either we do or we're all dead."
- Dagda: The north platform is compromised. Frode, Gol, take the east platform. R'tchikk and Vanak, west. Livia, Zizel, south.
- Dagda: Remaining Astral Ward, return to your posts on the bastions or assist the injured.
- Dagda: Survive, and we few will know you are heroes. Die, and all of Tyria will know of our failure. Go!
- Zizel while summoning the Guardian of the Natural
- Zizel: This place will suffice. Will have to. They're coming. I feel it. (deep breath) Have you ever summoned a guardian?
- Zizel: In the thick of it again, aren't we? Those Kryptis... Their bellies are full with our energy, our emotions.
- Zizel: Defeat them. Take that energy back. Return it to me. And keep me safe!
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Zizel: The summoning spell—it's half finished. The slow half, I hope. More energy!
- After completing the summoning.
- Zizel: Haha! We've retaken what was stolen from us to use against them...again. Poetic. If it works. To the spire!
- R'tchikk while summoning the Guardian of Knowledge
- R'tchikk: Skritt summons. The spell needs energy. Emotion. Kryptis feed on emotion. Take the emotion back!
- R'tchikk: Bring the energy to R'tchikk. R'tchikk will give it to the guardian while the wayfinder protects. It's our only chance!
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- R'tchikk: So much energy! Yet the guardian is only half summoned...Please don't quit on R'tchikk!
- After completing the summoning.
- R'tchikk: The guardian arrives! Ah, a sight for R'tchikk's weary eyes! To the top of the spire, gigantic friend.
- Gol while summoning the Guardian of Balance
- Gol: This summon will require my full concentration. If the Kryptis are the storm, I must remain the eye. Prepare yourself...
- Gol: This spell...difficult to maintain. I may need your protection to do so. The Kryptis...
- Gol: They've consumed our emotions. Destroy them. Reclaim our emotional energy. I can harness it to power the spell.
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Gol: Yes. The energy wave builds. The summoning, half complete. Gather more, return it to me...
- After completing the summoning.
- Gol: That's it! The wave has crested! The summon is complete! Now, to the top of the spire.
- After the first three guardians have been summoned
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir The spire's under direct attack! Divide forces—skyscales, defend the spire; ground troops, engage the head!
- Upon the Maw becoming vulnerable
- Dagda: Now concentrate on its maw—we have to break its hold!
- Upon the Maw reaching half health
- Dagda: It invades our thoughts again. Lyhr and I can withstand this, but you must flee before it tears your mind apart.
- Livia whiles ummoning the Guardian of the Obscure
- Livia: I knew you'd make another appearance. Prepare to do what we do best: disappoint our enemies.
- Livia: I've begun summoning the guardian. This spell requires incredible energy, so I may need you to watch my back.
- Livia: These Kryptis have fed on our emotions—kill them, collect that energy, and add its power to my spell!
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Livia: We've collected half the energy we need. We didn't come here to watch each other die—collect more!
- After completing the summoning.
- Livia: Summon complete! Naturally. We never fail to impress, do we?
- Vanak Faithwalker while summoning the Guardian of Strength
- Vanak Faithwalker: Another chance to sway our fates. Let's not squander it. I'll handle the summoning. You handle the demons.
- Vanak Faithwalker: Spell requires a lot of energy. Not just mine—we'll need some of the energy the Kryptis fed on.
- Vanak Faithwalker: Take them down, collect the emotional energy, bring it to me. I'll channel it into this summoning while you guard me.
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Vanak Faithwalker: That's half of it. Long way to go. Don't slow down. Never let up.
- After completing the summoning.
- Vanak Faithwalker: Yes. That's done it. Now...No rest for the living. Or the summoned.
- Frode while summoning the Guardian of the Celestial
- Frode: Now it's us. Can't let the ward down. Keep the demons off me as best you can, and I'll do my part.
- Frode: The emotions they've taken from us... Take them back. Bring them here to power the summoning.
- Frode: (groans) The quicker the better. And if they come after me, I'll need you to guard me.
- When half of the energy has been returned.
- Frode: That's half of it. Hurry. Not sure...I can keep this up.
- After completing the summoning.
- Frode: (breathing hard) Good. Good. Now for the real fight. On the spire.
- After all six guardians have been summoned
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Defend the spire. Skyscales, take to the air and intercept. The rest of you keep fighting the head!
- Dagda: Again. Focus on the tentacles!
- Dagda: Use the powers of the remaining guardians! Keep the pressure on!
- Once Nourys's Maw has been defeated
- Dagda: Do as I do, and together we can deal the final blow.
- Once Dagda completes her ritual
- Dagda: That's it! The guardians are combined! Attack with their full strength!
- Dagda: No. No! It's not enough. On your skyscales! I will imbue them with power.
- Dagda: We need to break the beast's concentration. Get in the air and attack those eyes!
- If player is outside of the event area during the Nourys fight
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Attention! Operation Mosaic Wrath underway! Report to Dagda on top of the spire! Go! Go!
- Upon success
- Lyhr: Amnytas is ours, demons. OURS!
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Threats eliminated. Kryptis in retreat! You did it, ward! You did it!
- Upon failure
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: The spire is overwhelmed! Fight your way to safety! Escape if you— YOU'RE NOT TAKING ME WITHOUT A FIGHT!
