| 1 | Mistress, It is my pleasure to report that I have broken the prisoners from Wortham. Words have flowed from their mouths like blood from a wound! Our summoners can retrieve the weapon at your command, and the enemy shall be none the wiser. -- Dark Cultist | Any |

| 1 | I need more bodies! You think my summoners can just conjure up a demon whenever it pleases them? We must have blood -- fresh blood, mind you -- and human flesh to bolster our magic. I will be expecting a reply from you shortly. -- Grand Inquisitor | Any |

| 1 | Of all the abominable stalling! In case it was not clear, I need the sacrifices now. I have heard enough of your idle complaints that the villagers have fled from the Highlands, leaving no one left to sacrifice. You'd best come up with something, or it's your hide we'll be flaying. -- Grand Inquisitor | Any |

| 1 | The time my lord's true awakening is at hand. That fool Leoric was only able to resist him because he did not yet possess his full power. With the queen dispatched as a traitor, I may now devote myself fully to preparing the boy for the presence of my master... -- Archbishop Lazarus | Any |

| 1 | Maghda is a fool. I will raise an army of souls from these primitives and chain them to my invincible will. Yes, with these heathens at my command, the kingdoms of the world shall bow to the might of... The Lord of Goats! I may have to work on the title a bit more. -- Dark Cultist | Any |
