36. : Our research there must continue. We may not be able to fight on the front lines as you do, but we may yet do some good for those who call it home.
21. : We'll depart when this Absolute army is defeated. I understand you are involved in the matter.

39. : The lure of knowledge is a hard one to resist. Even where it requires us to endure discomfort.

69. : My research partner prefers to avoid crowds, and so has remained in the Underdark to monitor our zurkhwood samples.devnote
76. : I am eager to return myself, but I must prepare my treatise before I depart. Sharing knowledge is one of the Society's most important tenets.

48. : I may be indulging myself somewhat with its title, but I do believe our research harbours such potential. I only hope the Society's members agree.
79. : Speaking of which, I should get back to annotating my references. Is there anything else I can do for you?

6. : Omeluum believed the answer to this riddle lay within the city walls, and held some connection to the cult of the Absolute.
46. : I had the distinct impression it was intentionally keeping its hypothesis from me. As though even the theory would be enough to put me in danger.devnote
86. : Why that would be, I can only theorise myself. It is rather outside my area of expertise.
4. : Omeluum is most likely safe and well, and simply absorbed in its work. However, it would put my mind at rest to confirm it, if you happen across its path.devnote

44. : A fair assumption. Omeluum is not given to strong emotion, but I know it regrets the damage caused by others of its kind.
34. : I am doing my best to conduct my own research in its absence.
37. : Unfortunately my second-hand knowledge does not compare to the innate understanding Omeluum brings to such study.
73. Player: Have you anything to trade?
14. : Naturally. The Underdark provided us with some most unusual salvage. Plenty to keep an inquiring mind busy.
