12. : And they're not just working with the cult, High Harper - they're part of it. Bhaalists, I think.

38. : They struck the same night. I woke to one of them strangling Chelvin, while smiling at me out of her face.
45. : She said - it said - that I'd report back to you as normal. Lure you here, and... I had no choice.
7. : I'm sure it felt that way, Geraldus. The others were likely dragged back to Orin. Tortured. Sacrificed.
31. : I do not expect you to die for me. But to risk Entharl? Any citizen who might have wandered in?<br>
74. : There is always a choice - and a Harper must be able to make the hard ones. Perhaps this isn't the life for you after all, Geraldus.
13. : No. Jaheira - High Harper - please. I'm still a Harper. I want to help.
72. : You've scarcely signed up, boy, and there is a war coming. Why die a Harper, when you could still live as anything else?WYR_Axe_State_JaheiraGaveChoice
60. Player: No one can make that choice for him. Not even you, High Harper.
82. : I want to fight... for Chelvin. For all of them. So it means something.WYR_Axe_RealHarper_Alive_SpokeUpForGeraldus
80. : Death is death. To look for meaning in it is foolishness, boy. Childish, storybook nonsense.
64. : ...Exactly the kind a Harper would spout, I suppose. Fine. I have no right to make the choice for you.
17. : Not when this mess is of my making. I sent the Harpers hunting after the cult without thinking what it would mean to be hunted in turn. Now they are compromised.

23. Player: This talk of the Rashemaar. It sounds like you sent Harpers hunting something you shouldn't have.

1. Player: Geraldus lived so he could warn you. Don't Harpers serve the greater good?
78. : You volunteer wisdom where it is not wanted. All the more galling, then, that you are right.
39. Player: Nothing. Forget it.
9. : I will not. If I bare my teeth, it is probably because you have struck at a sore spot.
50. : This mess is of my making. I sent the Harpers hunting after the cult without thinking what it would mean to be hunted in turn. Now they are compromised.<br>

57. : And I owe you an apology, as well. I haven't told you everything I hoped to learn here today.
32. : First, Geraldus - you're the last Harper in the city I can rely on. Lay low, and rest while you can. I have matters to discuss with my friend here.End
71. Player: Enough of the Harper dramatics. What do we do now?
44. : I'll come clean. I did not tell you all about what I hoped to learn here today - I will rectify that.
54. : But first - Geraldus. Does your mother still own that farm in the Dalelands?
27. : Yes, High Harper.

67. Player: No thanks necessary. Are you hurt?

3. Player: Don't thank me yet. How do I know you're not a doppelganger, too?
79. : Because... I'm not. I swear.
77. Player: What was all that 'Selûne's Tears' nonsense?
28. : A Harper code. Meant to be used for doppelgangers, impostors. Things like them.
73. : You're... you're the one High Harper Jaheira sent?
52. Player: I am. I'm here to help.
14. : Oh thank the gods. You're the first friendly face I've seen in days, old Danthelon included.
76. Player: She didn't send me anywhere. We're allies. Equals.
11. : Right... equal to the High Harper. You can give her my report, then.
46. Player: I'm not a Harper. I was just passing by.
6. : Old Danthelon wouldn't have let you down here without Jaheira's say-so. I'll give you my report - it's up to you after that.
35. : The others... they're all dead, or scattered. Jaheira sent word of the victory over Ketheric, set us hunting after cultists in the city.
