25. : *You know exactly what this illithid parasite will do to you. Within seven days, you'll become a mind flayer.*
49. : *But what about the bomb in your chest? Ceremorphosis is likely to destabilise it. What then?*
43. : Consider that it'll explode, flattening an area larger than Waterdeep.
37. : Cast your mind elsewhere.
34. : *You try to think of something else but it's no good.*
16. : *You imagine the explosion. Thousands will die. You have to stop it - ceremorphosis and the orb itself.*
46. : Think of Mystra, goddess of magic.
53. : *She was furious when she realised what you'd done. Seeking control, trying to prove yourself her equal. You were in love with her. Now you're a danger to everyone you know.*
15. : *Your mistakes have been huge. The consequences... memorable. But you won't let anyone die. You can't.*
10. : *You'll need to drain magical energy from a powerful artefact soon. As you contemplate your hubris, your eyelids grow heavier and heavier...*devnote
48. : Excuse me, Mr Dekarios. Mr Dekarios. Yoo-hoo!devnote
51. : Destiny is at your door; won't you at least twitch the curtain?devnote

40. : Tara! Is that you?!
17. : Well, it isn't the Mother of All Magic, lucky for you. You look terrible. Are you eating?
47. : I can look after myself, Tara.
29. : I have my doubts. But first things first...
28. : Goodness, I'd forgotten. Thank the gods you reminded me before I starved to death.
32. : I won't be teased, heckled, pestered, or vexed, Mr Dekarios. Not before I've had my due.
42. : In fact, I think I feel as bad as I look.
2. : No matter, Mr Dekarios. Tara's here now, and she'll sort you out. But first, my payment.
26. : Ahhh, that's it. No one manages the nuances quite like you.devnote
33. : Dare I ask what you're doing here?
22. : Making sure you keep on the straight and narrow, as is my task in this weary life.devnote
4. : I looked away for a moment, just once, and look where it got us. You, a living doomsday device. The shame.devnote
9. : *Nestled amongst your books and papers, Tara bore witness to your greatest triumphs... and your greatest failure.*
8. : *You made yourself a walking cataclysm, the annihilation brewing within you just about held at bay by your constant consumption of magical objects. Tara saw it all, but never left your side.*
11. : Speaking of which - I brought you something. For your tummy troubles.devnoteORI_Gale_Event_GiveTressymItem
19. : *A ring, coursing with magic. The Netherese orb within you shudders, longing to consume, to devour... It must be satisfied.*
24. : We have a great deal of catching up to do. Eat that, have a wash and, for the love of all that's dear, a shave. Then you can fill me in on what I've missed.
45. : Thank you, Tara. I really needed this.
6. : Of course, Mr Dekarios. What else are friends for?
20. : Now eat up! If you explode and kill us all, I'll be furious.End
21. : I'm not sure, Tara. It's dangerous out here.
0. : All the more reason I ought to be looking after you.
35. : Anyway - incidentally - I was getting very bored without my friend.
38. : How did you find me?
44. : Handy little spell I've been working on. 'Tara's Catflap of Displacement.' I haven't worked out all the kinks, but I'm starting to be able to find my way around.
14. : It is terribly good to see you, Mr Dekarios.
39. : You need to go home - now. And that's final.
7. : I don't take orders from my masseuse. Eat up, now. And chat soon.End
12. : It's good to see you, Tara. I've missed you very much.
13. : And I you, of course. The tower just isn't the same without you stomping about in the background.
1. : So here I am, come to re-insert myself. After all, remember what happened last time I let you out of sight?
50. : Of course you do. You're still paying the price with that ticking time bomb in your gullet. Ugh, the indignity.
52. : Don't get used to it. You need to go back to Waterdeep. Now.
41. : Wizards ask questions, they don't issue imperatives. You ought to know that by now, Mr Dekarios.
54. : But I suppose your case is worse than I thought. All the more reason for me to stay and keep an eye on things. We wouldn't want you to make another apocalyptic mistake, would we?
36. : Well, well, well. Look what the tressym dragged in.
27. : I know, I'm looking exceptionally well. You, on the other hand - how the tidy have fallen. Are you eating?
18. : You promised to stay in Waterdeep. 'Promise,' verb, meaning to swear something will or will not be done.
3. : And I decided 'will not'. And a good thing, too. You look like you haven't had a good meal in days.devnote
