Volume 6[edit | edit source]

(To Pallassian Guards) “I just misplaced my clothes! It was an accident! I would have put them on. Eventually.”

Volume 7[edit | edit source]

(To Erin) “Miss, no force on earth could make me put on pants.”
(To Inmates) “Mock me if you will! But don’t pretend I’m anything but honest! Natural! All of you are just prudes! Constrained by clothing! Grow up! Everyone has something!”
(To Erin) “Hah! Wandering inn? Good one! That’s clever!”
(To Grimalkin) “Grimalkin, are you adopting my fashion sense?”
(To himself) “This sucks. I’m going back home. I’ve got to make hundreds of potions—can’t even get arrested—what’s the world coming to? Prison’s great for focusing, but no…”
(To Grimalkin and Chaldion) “Really? I’ve met [Gamblers] who can do that. You think if I tag along with her, she can do something really entertaining? Like, say, accidentally knocking down one of Pallass’ walls?”
(To Erin) “Is this Xif? Go away! I’m not sharing my flame! If you’re a [Merchant], I’ll hit you. With a rock or something!”
(To Octavia) “Nah, I’m fine. Nakedness is a way of life, not a bargaining chip! And I’m naked enough for everyone!”
(To Octavia (and Erin)) “A magical garden. The door. A white Gnoll, oh, a few more interesting things here and there…and she wonders why I take an interest. Well, I like it. And she also has stuff that really interests me. Why shouldn’t I appear?”
(To Octavia) “Me, you? I’m never asking you to do anything…sexual. Or illegal. Or wrong. If you think I am, I probably said it wrong or you heard it weird. This isn’t Nerrhavia. I said that last night, right?”
(To everyone) “In case you forgot—I’m the best naked, dancing [Alchemist] this world has ever seen. And I really like this inn.”
(To Erin) “Hey. You always show up at the right moment, don’t you? That’s an adventurer’s trick.”
(To Wilovan) “I’m afraid no one puts pants on me.”
(To Erin) “Erin! My favorite Human! I think! How are you?”
(To Erin) “Unacceptable. Chocolate needs to exist and be in my mouth now. Hire a [Farmer]! No—an [Arborist]!”
(To his broker-Drake) “What? Go away! I told you—its work pants! Even I have them! Stop freaking—hey, you.”
(To Erin) “Don’t give Xif another one. You want a friend? Give me those flowers. And I’ll help Maviola and you.”
(To himself) “Who. Is. That. Drake?”
(To Raskghar) “So you’re Raskghar. That adventurer, Jelaqua wears you better.”
(To Erin) “Oh, hey Erin. Do you think I can fly if I flap really hard? I know that Gnoll keeps trying it. But does he believe? Believe I can fly. Go on! I’ll do it!”
To Mivifa:
- “Nope! I’m not listening! I don’t need motivation! I’m here of my own free will and nothing is wrong!”
- “Sure. I don’t ask, you don’t tell. Everyone’s got problems. It comes with being a Named-rank. We’re just broken people, Mivi.”
(To Tessa) “I’m here! Sorry I’m late! Is that Shriekblade I see? Long time no stab!”
(To Zeter) “Isn’t there a [Silence] spell on the camp? Who cares if we shout? Heck, let’s all dance around naked! Haven’t seen you in ages. How is Manus? Didn’t you get married? Want a drink?”
To Klbkch:
- “I’m getting soft. This is your last chance. I’ll kill you. I’m just taking it easy on you because I don’t want to explain why I killed you to a certain [Innkeeper].”
- “There’s an easy answer. I didn’t care about this body getting hurt.”
(To Wrymvr) “It’s an [Alchemist] who’s best to kill you. And you would be our worst nightmare. Or the biggest challenge.”
(To Klbkch & Wrymvr ) “You know what, I know when I’m beaten. Why don’t you just eat me? Fair’s fair. I did my best, I lost. So I’ll just roll myself up, slather myself with butter, and—die, would you?”
(To Erin) “There’s just one flaw in your formula. Someday. Someday, you’ll have too much bad in your life to smile. A mountain’s worth of crap for every good moment. Will you still smile then?”
(Intended to Erin) ‘look at me. You think you’ve had enough bad days? They will come again and again. Will you be like me?’
(To Merchants) “I, Saliss of Lights, condescend to make the antidote for the [Strategists] from Baleros! I will be accepting their plea for aid. You may now applaud!”
(As Onieva to Erin) “I don’t know, but I’d love to say ‘hello’! My name is Onieva. Hello, stranger! I hear you’ve met my weird cousin. And that he caused another scene. I’m here to pay his fine—if he has one.”
(As Onieva to Maviola) “Up yours, Human. No one’s making me leave.”
(To Maviola) “Maviola! Just the Human I wanted to see. Tried my other potion?”
(To Xif) “I’m going to burn your shop down for real this time, Xif. Promise. Well…I suppose the cat’s out of the bag. Who does that, anyways?”
(To Erin) “He seemed so sad. And I was bored. Sometimes…”
(To [Assassins]) “Come on! Try it! I bathe in acid! No, really, I do. Keeps the scales polished.”
(Live on WNN) “Oh, am I live? Hi! I want to say ‘hi’ to General Edellein Blackwing. A personal friend. The worst [General] in all of Pallass. And to Chaldion and his bad hip. And my personal friend, old Sixswords and his kid…”
To Ryoka:
- “I’m supposed to be the crazy one! I didn’t think Erin would—was that the Small Queen? She actually got an Antinium army to invade Invrisil. She. Is. Insane.”
- “Maybe I’m tired of being told who my enemies are. Maybe I don’t like [Assassins]. Maybe I’m just bored and want to go for a jog.”
To Ryoka & Maviola:
- “They could try. I’m Saliss of Lights. My ego is better at fighting than the two of you put together.”
- “We have a Runner who can call the wind and a [Lady] who makes flames, and a naked Drake. And what does the Guild have? Knives. Hooray. You two are going to die. Last chance.”
- “They’re gaining again! They must be overdosing on [Haste] potions or using Skills! They’ll tear their muscles off their bones. Right after they kill us!”
- “[Stoneskin Potion]! Ah! Ahh! That hurts so damn much!”
- “[Wyvernhide Potions]! Split it with the horse! They’re thousands of gold each! Damn, damn—I’m going to kill that [Witch]!”
(To Maviola) “I’ve been running…for hours. I don’t run! I make potions! Get off the horse! It’s my turn!”
To Ryoka:
- “We’re not mocking you, Ryoka. Not too much. We’re going to live. Or die. But you’re the kid who thinks the world revolves around her. Who thinks she’s the only hero. And the truth is, it’s actually me.”
- "Here’s a tip, Ryoka. Never underestimate how much you can piss off your enemies.”
(To Maviola & Ryoka) “Alright! Here’s the plan. We go through them. Maviola, you take a thousand on the left, I’ll take two thousand on the right, Ryoka, you take that one over there.”
(To Ryoka) “Good point! Bike away. Brush yourself off—aren’t you glad we weren’t horses up till here? You’d be naked. On television.”
(To [Assassins]) “I know you don’t know why I came north. Or made the cure. I cared and didn’t about those Human kids. I could say I wanted to win a victory. Do something right. But the truth is…I just really want to kill something. I have to be honest.” + “I’m not going anywhere. And neither are you. I told you: I wanted to kill something. Now, tell me. Are you those things?”
(To Kevin) “That will change everything. You should have told me a long time ago. How dare you not tell me sooner. I’ll hit you.”
(To everyone) “Good thing it was me. Poison’s nasty on other people. Oh, wait. It’s acidic. Never mind. Still okay.”
(To Magnolia) “Aw. No. Did I accidentally save your life? Sorry about that.”

Volume 8[edit | edit source]

To Lyonnete:
- “I like annoying people. Annoying people is simple, egalitarian. It treats everyone with the assumption that they all deserve to be annoyed. I don’t like treating other people with respect because they’re a [General], or because they’re a Wall Lady. Or a [Princess].”
- “Even for the Walled Cities you’re…no, wait. Nah. You fit in. With the most cynical, cold-hearted Drakes. Everyone’s just a thing to be used. And so are you? Wrong. Stupid. Don’t do that, Lyonette. It will cost more than you think. Believe me.”
(To himself) “What? A possible lead? Don’t pull my tail. That’s the last thing we need—where in the name of Sewer Slimes is Anazuland? What’s…huh…what’s this?”
(To Lulv) “You stupid bastard. Now I’m going to kill you too.”

Volume 9[edit | edit source]

(To Erin) “Erin, please. If you love me, don’t let Chaldion have a word all day. If you hate me…do it for the hilarity. I saw your work at the guild. Beautiful.”
(To himself) “Oh no—no—I’ve been Xifed! No!”
(To Lehra) “Here’s some free advice: act like a Bronze-rank in this inn. Or the [Innkeeper] will serve you her specialty. Humble pie. Wait, why did I tell you that? Go ahead and bother her.”
(To crowd queue) “‘Scuse me. ‘Scuse me. I’m headed to the inn, and no, I was not waiting in line. Who do you think I am? I just came back to grab some stuff—out of the way, I’m important.”
(To Zevara) “Wait, are these handcuffs laced with copper? I’m allergic to copper! I’m melting! I’m meeeeeeeelting!”
(To Erin) “I am a Turnscale. I’m glad you think that’s not a thing to be pitied or disgusted by or feared. But I was never asking about what you thought of who I am. None of us will. I just need to know if you’ll let me in your inn and whether we are…friends. If we’re not, tell me now. Nothing in this world will change no matter what anyone says or does. But I…would like to have a friend.”
(To Felkhr) “Hey. I’m the insane one here. You want to fight for top crazy? I’m afraid you’d win. Who wants to fly?”
