==Diablo II Act Five I Dialogues=={{NPCs Act Five}}::''===Introduction==::''=::''I am amazed to find this place so… so... untouched. Everything else in the path of [[Baal]], the Lord of Destruction, lies in ruin. These barbarians must indeed be the legendary guardians of [[Mount Arreat]]. They’re They're a proud, hearty people. Don’t Don't expect to be greeted warmly. Strangers here rarely are. Perhaps I can gain their trust. I’ll I'll spend some time with the townsfolk and try to understand them better. I’ll I'll let you know what I discover. ::''::''===Stop the Siege===::''====After Given===::''=::''I believe that stopping the siege on [[Harrogath ]] for you to earn the trust of these people. ::''

::''I understand your reluctance, but now is the time to strike.

===After Completion===
::''::''Those catapults were like nothing I have ever seen before. You have prevailed against Shenk, my friend, but [[Baal ]] is still far ahead of you. ::''::''===Rescue on Mt. Arreat===::''====After Given===::''=
::''I know firsthand that captivity is a sad fate for a man. Find them quickly!
::'' ====Early Return===::''=::''If you are having trouble finding [[Qual-Kehk’s Kehk]]'s soldiers, you should talk to [[Malah]]. She healed those who made it back before. Perhaps she would have some advice. ::'' ====After Completion===::''=::''You have become a hero to this town, my friend. The shadows have lifted ever since you brought the light to [[Harrogath]]. ::''::''===Prison of Ice===::''====After Given===::''=::''I would listen to [[Malah]]. [[Nihlathak ]] speaks with a venomous tongue and acts as if the entire weight of this town rests on his shoulders. Perhaps there is more going on here than we know. ::'' ====Early Return====::''::[[Nihlathak]]''Nihlathak’s s story does sound reasonable, considering what I’ve I've heard about [[Anya]]. However, the best lies are often hidden within truth.::'' ====Anya Found===::''=::''<nowiki>*Gasp*</nowiki> Goodness! [[Anya ]] frozen by that fallen barbarian [[Nihlathak]]. Perhaps [[Malah ]] can help you where I cannot::'' ====After Completion===::''=::''For one so young, [[Anya ]] commands great respect. Now that she is here, I will make it a point to talk to her about [[Mount Arreat]]. You should do the same. ::''::''===Betrayal of Harrogath===::''====After Given===::''=::''Regretfully, I know very little about this Relic. However, if what the others say is true, then [[Baal ]] must not gain possession of it. Stop [[Nihlathak ]] before all is lost. ::'' ====Early Return===::''=
::''Oh! This is a truly horrible turn of events. I know it seems that you have always been one step behind, my friend, but look at it this way: you have evil on the run!

::''Beware! Baal grows stronger with every passing moment.
::''::''===Rite of Passage===::''====After Given====::''A test of mettle is a fitting right of passage for a [[barbarian ]] hero. ::'' ====Early Return====
::''We have come too far to be defeated now, my friend. I have seen you complete many difficult quests. Though this may be your greatest trial, it is not beyond your reach.
::'' ====After Completion====
::''You have proven yourself to these people. They look to you as their warrior, their champion.
::''::''===Eve of Destruction===::''====Early Return===::''=::''Remember this: [[Baal ]] once possessed [[Tal Rasha]], one of the most powerful of the ancient [[Horadrim]]. Your battles with [[Diablo ]] and [[Mephisto ]] will pale in comparison to your battle with Baal. The Lord of Destruction, aided by Tal Rasha’s knowledge… Rasha's knowledge... Ungh, the mountain itself will tremble when you clash! ::'' ====After Completion===::''=::''I knew in time you would defeat [[Baal]]. You have done everything you set out to do, my friend. Ever since you rescued me from [[Tristram]], I have believed in you. It has been a supreme honor to aid you along the way. So, the [[Worldstone ]] was corrupted by [[Baal]], and now [[Tyrael ]] must destroy it. Worry not. For whatever lies ahead, I have faith that the light will guide us both. Go now, back to the [[Worldstone Chamber]], and enter the portal Tyrael has opened for you. ::''::''===Gossips==::''=
::''With Hellspawn, size is no measure of their threat. Demons half the size of men can kill with a gesture, while hellish pack animals trample any who stand in their way.
::'' ::''Though these barbarians [[barbarian]]s are known throughout the kingdoms as ferocious fighters, they are also capable of great compassion. They have trained throughout history for a battle their legends foretell will decide the fate of the world.::'' ::''The [[angel ]] [[Tyrael ]] has watched over the guardians of [[Mount Arreat |Arreat]] throughout history. I do not believe that [[Baal ]] and Tyrael have come to fight over a paltry few souls. They are here to settle a conflict as old as time itself.::'' ::''During my time with the [[Horadrim]], we often debated the nature of [[Mount Arreat]]. We knew that the [[barbarian ]] clans zealously guarded the mountain as their sacred duty. However, many dismissed their zeal as simple superstition, combined with an inborn hostility toward outsiders. Those Horadrim who trekked up Arreat were never heard from again. Still, I do not believe they died at the hands of barbarians.::'' ::''All users of the magical [[magic]]al arts know of [[Mount Arreat]], but few understand its true nature. It is the nexus of an unfathomable magic. It bodes ill that the [[Lord of Destruction ]] races to its summit with such purpose. I fear for the whole world, should Baal gain what he seeks.::''
::''I have spent decades trying to understand the forces at work in this world. But, in the face of all that is transpiring, I realize how meager my knowledge is. I will be of assistance where I can, my friend.
::'' ::''Though the Elder Council of [[Harrogath ]] is gone, there are many capable young leaders to take their place. [[Anya ]] certainly has enough courage and intelligence to lead them all, if they can survive this catastrophe.::'' ::''Ah, Anya. Such a fine example of feminine strength. She reminds me of the [[Zakarum ]] priestesses I knew in my youth. They don’t don't take vows of chastity, you know.::'' ::''It is fortunate that this town has such a talented smith. The quality of Larzuk’s [[Larzuk]]'s work surely complements your skills. In fact, he would have been quite welcome amongst the [[Horadrim]].::'' ::''It is my belief that the Soulstones [[Soulstone]]s are at the center of this conflict. If only that fool [[Marius ]] had not intervened, [[Baal ]] would still be imprisoned within [[Tal Rasha]].
