Dialogue

Before the event

Mabon: Are you ready for another try, old friend?

Lyhr: Until I'm rejoined, I don't really think I'm going to be able to control the forge well enough.

Mabon: I'm afraid we're running out of both time and options. We have to try.

Lyhr: (sigh) You always manage to talk me into these things. Fine, come to the forge and we'll lay out the plan.

Mabon: We could use your help as well, Commander.

Before Forging the key

Lyhr: I can't believe this plan is finally working.

Mabon: The worst is yet to come. Forging the key is going to pull a lot from you. There are dangers that come with that.

Lyhr: Ah, I've survived worse. It's got to be done, Mabon, so we might as well get to it.

Before Cleansing Lyhr's corruption

Mabon: I found Lyhr, and he's in stasis now, but the situation is dire.

Mabon: Forging the key made him vulnerable to a deep corruption, and it's wound its tendrils around him.

Mabon: I'll try to untangle it from him, but I can't do it alone. Please, help me save my friend.
