Synopsis:
Jaheira's default dialogue. Topics range from her past life to her current goals as they develop. Unless otherwise stated, her tone is confident and to the point. She's a seasoned adventurer with a sardonic sense of humour - and a little less cynical than she might present herself to be.

104. : The threat of spanking never kept the children from poking through my things. Why should it deter you?Jaheira_InParty_DiscussedRitualScroll
26. : It is... a ritual. Or it describes one, at least. Practised by druids of certain esoteric circles.
62. : If they be learned, and powerful enough, the practitioner of this ritual might slow their ageing. Extend their life well beyond its natural reach.

6. Player: So you plan to do it?
50. : I make no plans. Only... contingencies.
70. : Do not look at me like that. I have been content to see the span of my natural years - a privilege far too few in this world can claim.
13. : I do not speaking of clinging to life for its own sake. I just... look back on that life's work, and I wonder - is it done?
118. : The Dead Three plague the world still. The city still falls prey to small minds like Gortash, or lost souls like Orin.
103. : It is every Harper's hope to be a light that drives out darkness. But I've lived long enough to see so many of those lights burn out, while the shadows cling stubbornly on.
28. : Knowing that - isn't it our duty to burn on if we can? To fight for as long as we are able?

91. : Then you came, and made the question moot. But I kept this - just in case, I told myself. A final resort.

114. : But I do not plan on going anywhere just yet. And besides - you still have a tadpole in your skull. You are almost certainly going to die first.
59. Player: I'm honoured you think of me that way.
72. : Hah! Do not thank me for slinging a weight around your neck. I might start to feel bad.
94. : I do mean what I say - but I am also a Harper. In every honeyed word, there is a hook.
24. Player: You're not off the hook that easily, Jaheira. I want you around for a long time yet.
44. : I have no plans to lie down and die. Well - perhaps a little lying down, when all of this is done.
12. Player: Enough of this cub stuff. My people live longer than yours, half-elf.
97. : And age better too. She who is most weathered is also most wise.
1. Player: A pity. I could have used a young and powerful Jaheira.
89. : Do not be so sure. I was not always so soft and agreeable as I have become.
81. Player: Don't get ahead of yourself. First we have to survive the Absolute.
48. : And death might find us any moment. If I cannot meet it with a bit of cheerful futility, why bother being a Harper at all?

5. : And I am not blind. We have all profited from the results - perhaps the entire world will, before all of this is done.
