** “Yeah, shut up, Pisces! You were nicer back when you were in Wistram.”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/04/17/4-29/ To] [[Venitra|Regrika]]) “It was your smile. You smiled like Mrsha does when she’s been naughty. Kids are bad liars. And so are you.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/12/4-34/ To] [[Zevara Sunderscale|Zevara]]) “Did you think that was a joke? That I wasn’t serious? I am. Unless the Goblin is attacking me or other people, or stealing or—or being a jerk, I won’t let you harm them.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/12/4-34/ To] [[Zel Shivertail|Zel]]) “Why <em>did</em> you do it? Stand up for me? And why were you sure I’d give [[Redfang Elite Warriors|them]] a place to stay?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/12/4-34/ To the] [[Halfseekers]] & [[Drassi]]) “I am. I believe in people. I believe that Goblins are more than monsters. Because they act like people. They might act like monsters, but—don’t people say that about Selphids? To a Human like me, a Drake might be a monster. Or a Gnoll. But they have feelings. And so do the Goblins. They might not speak, but they <em>cry</em>. And I think that if you can cry, you’re a person.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/29/4-40-l/ To] [[Purple Smile]]) “Hey, it’s you! Scary-purple-smile-guy! How’s it been? You’re here for food, right? Where’s Pawn? Not with you this time? Well, come on in and—”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/02/4-42-l/ To] [[Apista]]) “Sting me and Lyonette will have to sweep you up, Apista. Understand?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/02/4-42-l/ To Everyone]) “Good. Now, the first person who moves I will personally break their arm. No one stands, draws a sword, or does anything until I say they can. Got it? Good.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/02/4-42-l/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfang Goblins]]) “Thank you. And I want you to know that I had a friend, once. Her name was Rags and she was a Goblin. She and I didn’t always understand each other, but I thought of her as a friend, as a person. I think you’re people too.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/02/4-42-l/ To] [[Mrsha]]:
** “It’s not wrong. Anyone would hate them for that. Hating Goblins isn’t wrong. But hating all Goblins, hating [[Redfang Elite Warriors|<em>these</em> Goblins]]—that’s not right, either.”
** “Listen, Mrsha. I am going to tell you something important. Something you have to learn. And it’s this: people are not the same. Understand?”
** “No, no they aren’t. But some people think that way. In fact, most of us do it. We don’t mean to, but we do. And that means we judge everyone by the actions of a few. Like Goblins. They are not all the same.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/05/4-43/ To] [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]]) “So what do you want? Hey, didn’t I throw a pan at your head once?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/05/4-43/ To] [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]] & [[Mrsha]]) “Go on. Or Mrsha will eat it. Mrsha, no. You’re getting your own. See? Ishkr has it right there. Be a good girl and sit down. Not on the table.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/12/4-45/ To] [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]]:
** “No Firebreath Whiskey for you, Mister. You came here drunk and you had an entire mug of the stuff earlier. I’m cutting you off.”
** “Too bad. You can have this drink instead if you want. It’s a specialty of the inn. Faerie Flower ale. Here, try it. It makes you feel better. Or worse.”

=== [[Volume 5]] ===
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/10/5-00/ To herself]) “Whoa. Mayonnaise diplomacy. I’ve seen everything.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/10/5-00/ To] [[Hawk]]) “Aw, what the heck. I like new places. You said this place is called Pallass? I always wanted to see a Walled City. Let’s go exploring!”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/14/5-01/ To] [[Hawk]] & [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]]) “I’m just saying, it sounds like a joke! A Human, a Rabbit-dude and a Lord of the Wall walk into a bar. Or through a magical portal. There’s a joke there somewhere!”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/17/5-02/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) You see Lyonette, there’s one good way to make angry people less angry at you and that’s to pretend to be as stupid as they think you are. Like a dumb Human tourist.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/17/5-02/ To] [[Zevara]] & [[Venim]]) “I get it. With great door teleportation must come great responsibility, huh?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/21/5-04/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) “It’ll totally work! It has to work! It’s already working! It’s the most amazing idea I’ve come up with yet! Lyonette, this is going to blow people’s minds!”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/28/5-07/ To herself]) “I should probably get my own room. Yup, yup. Why do I sleep down here anyways? Because the kitchen floor is soft? Well, it <em>is</em>, actually. But I need a dressing room, at least. The actors could use one and so could I.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/28/5-07/ To] [[Jelaqua Ivirith|Jelaqua]]) “Nope. [[Rabbiteater|He’s]] good at most things and he likes to eat. He’s a hard worker and the other Goblins like him because he <em>doesn’t</em> get on their nerves. He’s a Hufflepuff, poor guy.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/28/5-07/ To] [[Falene Skystrall|Falene]]) “Oh! Right. It probably is. I don’t use the names of wines. I just call them by how they look. I’ve got red, off red, sort of red, greenish yellow, maroon…hey, why do we call all those wines white if they look green? What about green wine? What’s wrong with calling it that?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/08/21/5-13/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] & [[Mrsha]]) “Well, looks like it’s time to go. That parade sure was fun, wasn’t it? Ending sort of sucked, though. Hey, is that really the [[Liscorian Army|army]]? They look like <em>jerks.</em>”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/08/21/5-13/ To] one of [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss's]] escorts) “Sorry, but I’m in a hurry. Besides, Ilvriss isn’t <em>my</em> Lord of the Wall or whatever. He’s cool. I’m cool. We’re on a level.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/08/28/5-15/ To] [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfang Goblins]]) “That’s what you should be. That’s what I tried to get Selys to do. You should be adventurers. Goblin adventurers.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/09/29/5-24-l/ To] [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]]) “I know, but it’s a good job! I don’t know what I would have done without you. Never go on vacation again, okay? Kidding! But not really.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/06/5-26-l/ To] [[Pawn]]:
** “Pawn, I love you like the son I don’t plan on having, but you can’t just sit here. People need you. All the Soldiers and Workers in your unit have stopped eating.”
** “There’s that handsome face. Mandibles. Whatever. Good job, Pawn.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/16/5-29/ To] [[Earlia]]) “Hello there! The Wandering Inn provides you with a Hobgoblin escort to and from the dungeon plus emergency rescue! And we have a boat. Three, actually. Want a lift?”

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/06/5-35-h/ To] [[Pallass|Pallass's]] Guards) “<em>Hey!</em> I know there are Drakes watching this door! Get out here! Liscor’s under attack! Again!”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/10/5-36/ To] [[Headscratcher]]) “Pawn to F4. Bird’s Opening. That’s what it’s called. Bird uses this opening all of the time. Because of the name.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/17/5-38/ To Adventurers]) “<em>Hey! You want food? We have food! Hot food! Ready to eat! And we have a magic door! You don’t have to climb up to Liscor! Just come on over and walk through!</em>”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/17/5-38/ To] [[Zevara]]) “There’s a big, bad army of Goblins up north. Got it. What does that have to do with the Goblins here? Goblins are not alike.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/17/5-38/ To] [[Halrac Everam|Halrac]]) “Come with me. So Bird can apologize. And before that, so you and I can explain what he did wrong.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/17/5-38/ To] [[Bird]]) “<em>Very</em> bad, Bird. As bad as bad can be. I brought Halrac here so you can apologize. He might not forgive you. That’s how bad it was.”

** “Try to stab me and I’ll hit you. Don’t stab me and I’ll feed you. Okay? Give me ten—five minutes.”
** “Food. Is good. Food makes people feel better. I can’t save Mrsha or Ceria. I can’t fight Raskghar. But I bet I can feed you. And I just bet you’ll stay for that. What do you say?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2018/12/08/5-44/ To] [[Embria Grasstongue|Embria]]) “You don’t <em>have</em> to follow my orders. I just thought you’d want to be part of my plan. I don’t need you. I could use your help, but you need me more than I need you. So…see you maybe?”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/12/08/5-44/ To] [[Ilvriss Gemscale|Ilvriss]]:
** “You think I can’t help? I can’t fight, but I can think! And my plan needs you, Ilvriss! It needs you, and Klbkch, and Zevara—it needs everyone! Only I can pull it off. Because I’m ''me''!”
**''“I am Erin Solstice! I’m the craziest Human you know! And I have a plan! I can save the Gnolls! I can save Ceria! I can save Mrsha! Look me in the eye and tell me I can’t!”''

** “It’s all happening. And I want it not to. I want time to stop. I want to be here—even <em>here, </em>forever. I don’t want to know what happens next. Why can’t things stay the same? Forever?”

*([https://wanderinginn.com/2019/02/05/5-57/ To] [[Olesm Swifttail|Olesm]]) “It’s funny. I was an honest [Innkeeper] before all of this. I had to go to prison to become a [Criminal]. [Thug]. Whatever. This is a [Thug]’s life, y’know?”
