Quest dialogue
52 lines of in-game dialogue from Impending Threat. Main speakers: Nemon, Blades Captive, and Ulgorn.
- NemonBlades... *sigh* Well, we were bound to run into them eventually.
- UlgornBut why concentrate their forces here? What are they up to?
- Just because it's inevitable doesn't make it any less dangerous.
- NemonI agree, but if we're thinking long-term, it will help us later to learn what they're up to both here and in general.
- Their base must be nearby. Let's give them a taste of their own medicine and capture one of them for interrogation.
- Daeva, I'll call you via Selvis after tracking down one of their camps.

- Oh, and there are Balaur surveillance totems all over the place. Destroy any you come across on the way.
- HadalaUlgorn and I will stay and repel the reinforcements around the camp. Stay safe, everyone.
- NemonCome here. I found an entrance to a camp inside the ruins.
- NemonHush, speak quietly. There are Blades nearby.
- All of the sentinels near the entrance have been taken care of. They made it nice and easy for me.
- All they did was laze about while the Fafnium patrollers did all the work. It was easy to release some sleeping gas to knock them all out.
- Employing the very same tools the Balaur use to exploit their fellow Daeva. The Blades really are shameless scum.
- As long as those patrollers are still active, it's only a matter of time until we're caught. Hurry and destroy the Fafnium powering them.
- The Fafnium is installed over there to the right. It seems to have no other function than controlling the patrollers.
- The patrollers will try to stop you from destroying the Fafnium, but they'll become inactive the moment you do.
- As for me, I've got my own job to do. Let's meet up near the room on the left once everything's done.
- NemonOver here, Daeva. Behind the wall.
- NemonIs all the Fafnium destroyed? Good, now we won't need to worry about being discovered.
- I was busy while you were getting to work, too. They left some bombs unattended nearby.
- So naturally, I installed detonators on them all.
- I'm pretty sure I found their commander, too. We just need to capture him alive, then we can blow the place sky high.
- Leave the kidnapping to me. You go activate those detonators.
- NemonThen make sure you hurry and find some cover.
- NemonTake cover!
- Who the hell are you!?
- NemonDamn it, some of the bombs didn't go off. Let's quickly clean up the rest.
- NemonThat's much better. I hid the prisoner behind the wall. Come over here.
- NemonI'll join up with you after checking on the status of the sentries.
- Urgh, you bastards...!
- Gerod is coming for you, scum!
- Argh!
- Ugh...
- NemonSo even Gerod is here.
- Ah, Daeva. I managed to capture someone.
- Blades BomberYou'll regret making an enemy of the Blades!
- NemonThis guy's a real talker.
- Ulgorn and Hadala found a place down south that would be suitable for interrogating. You go ahead, I'll drag him there myself one way or another.
- Make sure you don't get tailed on the way, and take out any Blades you come across.
- NemonDaeva, are you still near the camp? I've already arrived.
- Our retreat is more than secured, so hurry over.
- Come to the Fissure Cave in the south.
- NemonAre you ready to talk now? Spill it! What are the Blades planning?
- Blades CaptiveI-I don't know! I was only told to wait here for orders!
- NemonGuess you want to die here too then, huh? It's fine, we can just catch another of you rats.
- If you're going to make this difficult, there's no need for us to put up with you.
- Blades CaptiveThe Destruction Archons' Underground Fortress! W-We found it! Most of us are already inside!
- NemonIs Gerod there too? What's he planning?
- And how did you get inside?
- Blades CaptiveHe is! He is! Everything is reported straight back to Gerod. A messenger left just now.
- If you want to get in, you... you just need a Destruction Archon's sword! The Shulak have plenty!
- That's all I know. P-Please, Nemon! Spare me...!
