Volume 4[edit | edit source]
- (To Erin) “You struck him, Human! Don’t argue! Four gold coins. Give them to Relc—give them to Klbkch and don’t argue or I’ll double your fine!”
- (To Relc) “Damn it, Relc! Get back here!”
Volume 5[edit | edit source]
- (To Erin) “I understand that you had reason to defend yourself, and I am on your side in this matter, Miss Solstice.”
- (To Erin) “Me? Give in to those thugs? You have my intentions all wrong, Solstice. I’m not here to comply with Pallass’ demands. I’m here to resolve the situation.”
- (To Erin) “No. But I won’t be able to protect you.”
- (To Olesm) “She’s insane, Olesm. Completely insane.”
- (To Relc) “Shut up, Relc! Get your fat tail moving or I’ll kick you off the walls!”
- (To Olesm) “Excellent work, Olesm. You saved us there.”
- (To Embria) “A dispute that Liscor’s city does not share. Liscor’s army may be under contract to fight for Oteslia, but I would hope that ties to home matter more than gold, commander.”
- (To Embria) “You would have gotten here yesterday. Too late. And now you have the gall to come into my office, into my city and demand to take charge?”
- (Thoughts) Dead gods, what will I tell the Council about all this? If I’d known they’d cause me more headaches I wouldn’t have bothered asking for their help in the first place!
- (To Embria) “You’ve been gone from Liscor for a while, I understand that. But try to remember how we do things. We just survived one of the worst monster attacks in living memory. What do you think we’re going to do?”
- (To Olesm & Ilvriss) “Tell them. And tell the damn Humans. Tell Tyrion Veltras. Tell the world. Liscor hasn’t fallen yet.”
- (To Beilmark) “However, every time I think I know your people, they always surprise me. Every time I think I know magic, it surprises me. When I see that light, I can understand how Gnolls broke our Walled Cities so long ago.”
- (To Beilmark) “It was a nice spell. Do it again without telling me first and I’ll throw you off this wall. Dismissed.”
- (To Erin) “They’re fine. Hearing about that was the only amusing news I’ve gotten all day. It was about time someone kicked your teeth in, with how many fights you seem to escape unscathed.”
Volume 6[edit | edit source]
- (To Lyonette) “What in the name of scaled rats—who let you in here?”
- (To Klbkch) “Trust the Blighted Kingdom to attack first and never try for diplomacy ever.”
- (To Erin) “You can help. Ancestors preserve me, but I’m okay with that. Especially if you can get Klbkch to promise more gold. But you have to promise me—no disasters!”
- (To Calruz) “Hah. No. But you’d be surprised—no one wanted to go. I think they were all waiting for someone to be the first. And then it slipped out of memory and…well, she did it. She was the first. But she didn’t just open Pallass to Liscor. She opened Liscor to Pallass.”
- (To Calruz) “Hah. No. But you’d be surprised—no one wanted to go. I think they were all waiting for someone to be the first. And then it slipped out of memory and…well, she did it. She was the first. But she didn’t just open Pallass to Liscor. She opened Liscor to Pallass.”
- (To Calruz) “…Because she’s her. And she walked around with them. As equals. And she treated with Pallass as equals. Do you know how that feels?”
- (To Calruz) “Well? What are you waiting for? Say Krshia does win. Am I throwing Liscor away? Tell me I’m not wrong to trust Klbkch. Or tell me I am. But if you don’t pass that bottle back in the next minute, I’ll call for a [Headsman] tomorrow. And I’ll make sure he has a rusty axe.”
- (To Calruz) “Then I will consider your crime. But I am the law. And I judge. And I do not see the monster you would die as.”
- (To Calruz) “What in the name of the Ancestors is a metabolism?”
- (To Olesm) “Of course it frightens me. And maybe he’d kill me, Olesm. And you. And this entire city. But you know the thing about traitors? It’s not all the times they obey that makes them a traitor. It’s the one time they disobey that does it. And I’m willing to bet on one. How about you?”
Volume 7[edit | edit source]
- (To herself) “Ancestors preserve our scales, if the Wyverns attack Liscor, I’m going to tie that Human to a ship and send her to Rhir. Let her bring disaster to the Demons.”
- (To Lyonette) “…No. There was that idiocy Relc cooked up. Well, it was fairly good for morale and apparently Klbkch doesn’t have—why am I talking to you about this?”
- (To Lyonette) “Stop. I don’t want to know. Stop. Right there. Don’t tell me. Don’t make excuses. I don’t want to…wait. I thought—”
- (To Lyonette) “True. Keep practicing, Lyonette. Come here and I’ll hit you with a sword. That cheers me up. Relc’s too slippery.”
- (To Relc) “Get me a platoon to that inn! Before that [Innkeeper] does something!”
- (To herself) “Even when he’s gone, he—Ancestors damn it.”
- (To Erin) “Yes, you! I asked you to come here so I could listen to your input about the Raskghar problem! I do not have a solution! But I hoped—for once—that you would! I cannot let them be executed en masse! That is not justice!”
- (To Erin) “Be Erin Solstice. The young woman who always had a solution. Who never backed down in front of injustice as she saw it. Give me—something. Because I need help.”
- (To herself) “Thank you, Erin Solstice.”
- (To Erin) “Miss Solstice. I don’t know if it’s good I found you here or not. Please don’t make this any harder than it has to be.”
- (To the Guards) “They might have gone through to Invrisil. But I want this inn swept! Damn. Perimeter—check the outhouses! Of all the stupid—”
- (To Jeiss) “Do you think it looks good if the Watch finds the criminals and can’t arrest them, Jeiss? Or—if we had to arrest someone, do you want to go down that road?”
Volume 8[edit | edit source]
- To Lyonette:
- “Mine was curing my breathing problems and becoming the Oldblood Drake everyone looked up to. I also wanted wings.”
- “If I could, I would march the entire Watch out with you. I’d take a vacation, barring that. I’d order my two most idiotic Senior Guards to go with you. But they’re gone. And I’m needed here.”
