• Gorrik! No—of course he's not. And we'll do everything in our power to prevent an outbreak. But I need him freed.
• You must hurry! Pets are angry and very strong. Smashing everything in sight!
• Now here is what I don't understand: why would anybody want to collect a living thing? Living things NEED. Living things WANT. Living things REQUIRE. They ask for food. They make a mess. They are writhing, squirming things that don't serve any purpose beyond that which they make for themselves. Qadim keeps referring to the skritt that work in the forge as my "collection," but I despise the word. I do not own these creatures—I employ them! They are here of their own volition, some refugees from the destruction of Lion's Arch, some mere travelers referred here by others no longer in my employ. Skritt are, naturally, smarter in large groups, so I have been fortunate that they find collective value in working within the forge. The knowledge they gain here is of tremendous use to their scratches, as the Mystic Forge is in many ways a receptacle for items found all over the world. No matter where they come from, they will one day find their way down here. But even though they dot the landscape of my domain, they are not here for display. They work, and they work hard! The mountains of sorted items parsed from those dropped in by the world above are a testament to their fastidiousness, and I would truly be at a loss without their help. Qadim, on the other hand, views living creatures as curiosities—things to be placed in a glass case and shown to passersby. Speaking of which, I have no idea to whom he's showing off his menagerie. Is there some djinn cabal I'm unaware of that takes pleasure in the collective suffering of living things? More likely that wretched fire djinn is simply imprisoning these creatures for his own amusement. The items I collect have historical relevance and value. Qadim's collection will grow old and die, yet mine will live forever. Well, I suppose that's not entirely true. Qadim's collection SHOULD be growing old and dying, but for some reason I cannot ascertain, it is not. The lifespans of his little subjects seem to have been altered, perhaps due to the strange nature of time within his domain, perhaps through some other magical influence. I've no idea. What I DO know is that for his captives, dying of old age is not the escape it used to be.
• We're in their debt. They didn't have to answer our call like this.
• Ah! Why is holiday magic in there? Hurry, get it out!
• Commander! Welcome aboard the Phoenix Dawn. I don't get any visitors down here. Did you need something blown up?
• No, I didn't know that. Wow.
• And just so you know...if that fails, we're definitely using the lightning.
• Hmm. Got an Awakened problem here.
• That's my line.
• Immobilizes • Dazes
• Blish's Tracker Repair Progress
• Ten seconds to curtain! Places for Act One, please, places for Act One. Break a leg, people! It's SHOWTIME!
• Walk Away
• Wonder what's inside the house?
• We've sent our kite baskets out into the world as gifts to Central Tyria. Head out and gather them wherever they land. But don't forget to explore the cliffs as well!
• An asuran scientist in a golem's body, actually. And we're in a hurry.
• It's warded. Got to be a way to shut it down.
• This is...depraved.
• Sorry I didn't get here in time to stop this.
• This is...depraved.
• It's the Scarab Plague. We believe Joko is planning to unleash it.
• Sounds like just the sort of plan a corsair would come up with. Let's give it a try.
• JUST BLOW THE DAMN GATE, CANACH!
• I can't say more, Your Honor. You're going to have to trust me.
• Uhh...tell him to sit tight.
• It's clear your experience has caused you to act hastily, Councilor.
• Citizens of Lion's Arch, have you experienced the wonder of the Mystic Forge? The spectacle? Dare I ask...the CHALLENGE?
• No! I can't...
• Those are OUR only choices. Come on. We have a lot of cleanup to do out there.
• Taimi, the Primevals are crashing the party and they're bringing us a ghost army. Is that portal set up?
• Show yourself, Joko!
• About me being a villain?
• Whatever you do, don't call it by name or they'll never let him go.
• Then I'll meet you at the docks.
• Show yourself, Joko!
• Sunspear, as you were.
• I understand.
• Left my entourage on your doorstep.
• Deterrence, maybe? Think it's fair to say Joko's been anticipating this.
• Or kick it in...
• Looks like I died painfully. Over and over.
• Wish I could move faster.
• Branded Captain
• They never reconciled. She died of old age, and, well, from these letters, it seems like Argon stayed in that garrison up until the moment it was Branded. So much for second chances.
• Supplies are exhausted, so Faren took it upon himself to raid an enemy encampment.
• Taimi, I think this is a good place for our main camp. Let me take a look around.
• I promise Joko will pay for what was done to your master-at-arms.
• Here, this should make you feel better.
• I expect to be compensated. Your liver will do nicely.
