Volume 4[edit | edit source]

  • (To Ryoka) “I note these swords are not reacting despite their apparent enchantments. May I hold both, or will I burst into flame and die in excruciating agony?”
  • (To Drake) “I would be insulted if he did not use my body.”
  • (To Drake) “Animating a fallen teammate’s corpse is the only sound tactical decision to be made in a combat situation. Or would you prefer to let your comrades lie where they fall?”
  • (To Selys) “But that makes no sense. I object most strongly to this rule. Are you implying that my corpse has no tactical value in combat?”
  • (To Selys) “I can assure you that my deceased form is quite operable in many situations so long as it has not been dissected, disintegrated, incinerated, consumed, possessed, liquefied, or—”
  • (To Yellow Splatters) “I am a former Prognugator of the Hive. That gives me no authority.”

  • (To himself) “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—
  • (To Ceria) “I thought I could! Water! Water everywhere!
  • (To Horns) “Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Aaaaa—oh. We are not on the water any longer. That is good. Was I an asset to the team?”
  • (To Olesm, Zevara & Ceria) “Ah. I perceive my presence is unwelcome. Am I being a nuisance? Please inform me directly when I am and I will take note of my behavior.”
  • (To Adventurers) “Yes. You were staring hard at the Goblin without ears for quite some time. So was everyone else. May I ask what the issue is? Is he horribly disfigured or is this a mark of some kind of sexual attractiveness I am not aware of?”

Volume 6[edit | edit source]

  • (To Ylawes) “Indeed. Allow us to be sacrificial decoys while the [Mages] retreat. Then we shall retreat, assuming we are alive.”
  • (To Moore) “I believe it is time to run, friend Moore. We are useless and fragile. Friend Moore? Hello?
  • (To Garia) “And I am Ksmvr. Hello. I am one of the Antinium, but I am not hostile towards you at the moment Miss Garia. So please do not fear for your life.”
  • (To Pisces) “I do not understand what this configuration of flesh means. Comrade Pisces, please explain.”
  • (To Celum's Watch Captain) “No. I completely understand the concept of arrest, Watch Captain. And I do not believe I will be arrested. I, personally, have done nothing wrong. And if you try to arrest me, sir, I will have to kill you.”
  • (To Mister Fairday) “You are a simple creature. I envy you your guiltless life. Until you break a bone or grow too old and are no doubt slaughtered for food or parts. But then, so are the Antinium. We are much alike, you and I.”
  • (To Embria) “That is correct. I am not listed as a monster in the Adventurer’s Guild.”
  • (To Maughin) “An Antinium, in point of fact. And I am no longer affiliated with my Hive. Good morning. I am Ksmvr, adventurer for hire.”
  • (To Grimalkin) “Um. Is this war?”
  • (To Horns) “I am unable to harm Grimalkin. Switching to Flamespread Dagger and arrow. Fleeing in cowardice!”
  • (To Grimalkin) “You remembered my name. I had thought you had trouble remembering.”
  • (To Horns) “I would like to understand that before I die.”
  • (To Yvlon) “But I am not married. I would not like to be perceived as immodest.”
  • (To Horns) “I am sorry I have no significant secrets I have withheld from you all. I am sorry for being substandard.”
  • (To Ceria) “I shall attempt to persuade Bird to impart some of his Fortress of Fluff.”
  • (To Palt) “He will not lose. My teammates will not fall, any of them. Or I would be in error. And my reason for living would be torn away. Watch.”

Volume 7[edit | edit source]

  • (To Maviola) “Hello, I am Ksmvr. I am not a monster. Also, I do not eat people. I am an adventurer and perfectly safe.”
  • (To Ryoka) “I do not really know you, Miss Ryoka Griffin. But I am told you are a good Runner with an objectionable personality at times. Hello. I am Ksmvr. We have met, though.”
  • (To everyone) “I heard that Master Hedault proposed to Ceria. I have taken the liberty of informing everyone of the engagement.”
  • (To Yitton) “I quite enjoy Yvlon’s home. Oh, Lord Byres. Thank you for the tree.”
  • (To teammates) “I have never had a family. I was created to lead Antinium and replace Prognugator Klbkch. I was made to die and be replaced. It seems to me that families among other species treasure new life with an excess of value on the young. This is not a bad thing.”

Volume 8[edit | edit source]

  • (To teammates) “I will go. This is a team effort and I owe Erin Solstice…almost everything. My team, the rest.”
  • (To Ceria) “Captain Ceria, I have discovered the therapeutic benefits of petting animals. I suggest we incorporate this into our team’s strategy.”
  • (To Ghouls) “You made one error, although I realize you are not capable of tactical thought: I can fly. Whee—
  • To Yvlon:
    • “Are you Yvlon or a trick? Please do not be a trick. I have had a bad day.”
    • “I think I tasted bad. Why is that upsetting to learn?”
  • (To Tolveilouka) “Stop. I did it. I slew the Putrid One. I made him suffer as he died twice. He screamed, pitifully. Stop. Stop. Why do you not touch me?”
  • (To Criminals) “Push them over to me or I will kill you all horribly and eat your bowels and hang your remaining innards up for decoration.”
  • (To himself) “Don’t mess with me. I’m crazy. I’ve eaten more [Bandits] than peas on this plate. I could kill you all with a fork. You shouldn’t have given it to me. Now I’m armed. Ice magic. I eat bugs.”
  • To Yinah:
    • “Are you a prisoner of the Magus-Crafter too? Wait, that would make you a ‘pet’. You are half-Golem. I commend your upgrade.”
    • “Pat, pat. You are a cat. Also known as a kitty, or kitten, or feline. I am Ksmvr. Pat, pat.”
    • “Pat, pat. Little cat, you are not a good enough victim. Yinah? Can you look more scared? What is wrong?
    • “No, do not do that. Here. I shall offer you—multi-sided pats. Like so. Pat, pat—”
  • To Nsiia:
    • “I greet you, Empress of Beasts. I also possess no oasis, but I would offer you the bounty of my personal tree. If we were close to it. I also thank you for saving my life.”
    • “Rumors about the Antinium have as much validity as other species. I have observed that Humans cannot spit blood unless stabbed in the mouth, Drakes are not always greedy—although some can be, and so on. I would hope you would regard me as a Gold-rank adventurer first, Antinium second, Empress Nsiia of Tiqr.”
    • “I do not understand. Why does Yinah the cat not prefer me? Is it because she is speciesist? Racism in animals is a terrible thing.”
  • (To Femithain) “I claimed that the Hives would go to war for me, but I must tell you, Magus-Crafter, that I exaggerated the truth. I do not believe—did not believe—I was of any worth to my Hive. Or the Antinium.”
  • (To Nsiia) “You are right, Empress of Beasts. I am sorry. Or I would be, if I treated this as an admission of guilt or failed desire. But I do not. My team needs me. I am thankful you teach me about animals and spar with me. Yet I will not jeopardize my chances of helping them.”
  • (To Nsiia & Femithain) “…As I do not have a logical statement I can refute you with, I shall accompany you to dinner. I am doing it unhappily, though. Not because I dislike food, but because I have been bested in verbal discourse. Most vexing.”
  • (To Nsiia) “I did not mean to intrude, Empress Nsiia, or witness your grief. I would blame Yinah, but she is a cat.”
  • (To Oracle of Elbe) “Also, if you attempt to deny or even tell the truth regarding my actions here, no one will believe you given your reputation as a liar. So, by attempting to disparage me to the First Crafter of Elbe or those who follow after, you only help me no matter what you say, if only nothing.”
  • To Domehead:
    • “You are called Domehead. Do you know me? We fought once. A regrettable accident.”
    • “Someone rebuilt you. You have someone who will wait for you. Your…team.”
    • Do not force me to destroy you.
  • (To Femithain) “You are trying to hold me against my will, Femithain? Then I will defend myself. I do not wish to. I am stating here, for the record, with you all as witnesses, that when I slaughtered you, I gave you full warning.
  • (To Dellic) “War, Armsmaster? You cannot survive my war.
  • To Nsiia:
    • “I thought of my friend, Pisces, wearing chains. I found it abhorrent and applied the same logic to you.”
    • “You are not a terrible friend, Nsiia. Come, come. And hurry up. Not a horrible ruler. Just a bad mother.”
  • (To Nsiia) “I am sneering. I cannot sniff, but you may assume I am now sniffing. Sniff. I must inform you, Empress Nsiia, that I am already de facto a land-owner. I own two trees. You cannot sway me with what I already possess.”
  • To Hscel:
    • “That looks quite appropriate. I told her I was not fit for the blade. No, Hscel Scarless. I am an adventurer. As are you. I do not kill fellow adventurers or innocent people.”
    • “…Unless they attack me first or really get on my nerves. But I will be content to rob you of your blades. I have learned something.”
  • (To Shurein) “Excuse me. Abbot Shurein? I am Ksmvr, Gold-rank Adventurer and friendly Antinium. I am very pleased to make your acquaintance. As a conversational topic to begin with, I have an acquaintance who also runs about with bare feet. Hello.”
  • (To Yvlon and Ysara) “Is this your sister, Ysara? Hello, I am a landowner from your estates. I own two trees—”

Volume 9[edit | edit source]

  • (To everyone) “Anger! I am so angry! Aaaah! I am screaming for psychological effect!
  • (To Femithain) “Oh, hello Magus-Crafter Femithain. You were a very wonderful host. I regret that someone accidentally freed Nsiia. Yes. Have you seen Yinah or Spitty? Or Nsiia? She stole my sword.”
