  • ▶️ r You failed to see the true power of the family Avernus.
  • ▶️ r The mourning mist will rise from your grave.
  • ▶️ r More art than science.
  • ▶️ r Mine was the more potent mixture.
  • ▶️ r This is how your pathetic struggle ends, Anti-Mage.
  • ▶️ r You died as you lived, Anti-Mage. For nothing.
  • ▶️ r You come unbound, Warden. I merely finished what was already started.
  • ▶️ r From the source of such power, I expected more.
  • ▶️ r I should take your corpse with me. Shame to let such potent ingredients go to waste.
  • ▶️ r Your napalm is nothing compared to my ink.
  • ▶️ r What can you expect from one who lays with beasts?
  • ▶️ r In the end, what you sought was your own demise.
  • ▶️ r You went through all this trouble to find me, the least I could do is watch you die.
  • ▶️ r How did one as dim as you even survive childhood?
  • ▶️ r You've outwitted yourself, Centaur.
  • ▶️ r The truth of things is always found in the ink.
  • ▶️ r Now you submit to my cause, Chen.
  • ▶️ r I take no pleasure in destroying Maraxiform's greatest work of art.
  • ▶️ r I would have preferred to let your suffering continue.
  • ▶️ r Not even the metallurgic arts can stop the strokes of my brush.
  • ▶️ r Your grave will be even colder, my dear.
  • ▶️ r I had hoped to sway you to my cause, Maiden. But your naiveté left me no choice.
  • ▶️ r I've no interest in the land beyond the wall. Take your secrets to the grave.
  • ▶️ r It seems our goals were in alignment, Prophet.
  • ▶️ r Speed you on your way, hag.
  • ▶️ r Your fall from grace has only just begun.
  • ▶️ r This is what happens to one trick ponies.
  • ▶️ r Even creatures of legend fall before my power.
  • ▶️ r If you've no people of your own, Drow, you're welcome to join my flock.
  • ▶️ r You're about as smart as I'd expect a sentient rock to be.
  • ▶️ r Did I just put you out of your misery?
  • ▶️ r Your flame isn't even your own, Xin. What hope did you have against me?
  • ▶️ r At least you died with a smile on your face.
  • ▶️ r I'd hoped to learn more from your passing, Enigma.
  • ▶️ r Welcome to the real void.
  • ▶️ r I've got a lovely little box to put you in.
  • ▶️ r I've always wondered, do Fae decay?
  • ▶️ r Where do these old fools even come from?
  • ▶️ r Live life on the edge, Huskar, and eventually you'll step over the line.
  • ▶️ r Your memory fails, wizard.
  • ▶️ r You should have vanished before I noticed you, Io.
  • ▶️ r If you're not of single mind, there's no hope to defeat me.
  • ▶️ r I take extra pleasure in destroying an original.
  • ▶️ r Sink beneath the waves of ink.
  • ▶️ r It takes more than a moment of courage, Tresdin.
  • ▶️ r You could've joined me, Leshrac. Such a waste.
  • ▶️ r Another self-styled king meets his end.
  • ▶️ r The mindless are of no use to me.
  • ▶️ r Best to snuff you out, before you get any bright ideas.
  • ▶️ r The horrors of Hell have nothing on me.
  • ▶️ r You're never alone in death.
  • ▶️ r I'd heard you lost your edge, Luna. I should've killed you in your prime.
  • ▶️ r You were right, I do have an interest in antiquities. Hm hm hm hm ha ha ha ha.
  • ▶️ r I didn't even know about your horn before today, Magnus. I'll take it all the same.
  • ▶️ r A shame to free all your sculptures, but it can't be helped.
  • ▶️ r When I'm done here, I'll send your regards to Nightsilver.
  • ▶️ r Now you've seen what a real martial art looks like.
  • ▶️ r A forgery best off destroyed.
  • ▶️ r Death doesn't suit you. Perhaps you'll grow into it.
  • ▶️ r Brush beats scythe.
  • ▶️ r I take little pleasure in killing such a beautiful creature.
  • ▶️ r I'd stick to the shadows too, were I as useless as you.
  • ▶️ r Not even luck can save you from me.
  • ▶️ r What, didn't believe you could die?
  • ▶️ r My hand alone shapes the future to come.
  • ▶️ r A life wasted on frivolous gallantry.
  • ▶️ r Your tale will live on, Donté. As a footnote in my legacy.
  • ▶️ r Your technique depends too much on luck, and too little on actual skill.
  • ▶️ r As I thought. Kill you and your brothers fall.
  • ▶️ r I'm not going to waste my breath taunting you.
  • ▶️ r Reborn into death.
  • ▶️ r You cannot escape the reach of my brush.
  • ▶️ r Disgusting corpulent slob!
  • ▶️ r Squibbling worm!
  • ▶️ r I'm glad I could be of service, Akasha.
  • ▶️ r Walk the maze yourself, sparky.
  • ▶️ r Tracer!
  • ▶️ r To the trained eye, it's always easy to spot an imitation!
  • ▶️ r There is nothing in the desert that frightens me.
  • ▶️ r I thought perhaps I'd learn a thing or two. I guess not.
  • ▶️ r I told you I'd sample your collection, fiend.
  • ▶️ r You should've stuck to swindling rubes, Shadow Shaman.
  • ▶️ r The battlefield is no place for cheap parlor tricks.
  • ▶️ r When my ink flows, the silence is yours alone.
  • ▶️ r A fitting end for a philistine.
  • ▶️ r You should've kept your head in the fight.
  • ▶️ r This is a good look on you. Dead fish chic!
  • ▶️ r Dancing isn't art, Slark. It's frivolity.
  • ▶️ r You missed me, Kardel.
  • ▶️ r A pathetic little man with a pathetic little toy.
  • ▶️ r Had to take care of that before things got out of hand.
  • ▶️ r Why is it every time I turn around you're there, Spectre?
  • ▶️ r You could have picked literally any other plane and been just fine. Pity.
  • ▶️ r Time to get you out of that skin suit, spirit!
  • ▶️ r Your very existence was offensive!
  • ▶️ r Brute force fails you, fool.
  • ▶️ r I didn't think such hatred could grow in so short a span, but you've earned it.
  • ▶️ r How have you lived this long?
  • ▶️ r I need no secrets from you.
  • ▶️ r Back to Foulfell you fall!
  • ▶️ r When the ink tide comes, there will be no retreat!
  • ▶️ r From the forest itself comes the handle of my brush!
  • ▶️ r Your blueprints were flawed.
  • ▶️ r One of my punishments as a boy was painting rocks. I like this better.
  • ▶️ r Grow a pair.
  • ▶️ r Enjoy your first taste of culture.
  • ▶️ r Another brute falls!
  • ▶️ r All that bluster, for what?
  • ▶️ r The Dirge sickens me!
  • ▶️ r I hope your noble cause was worth dying for.
  • ▶️ r Get over yourself!
  • ▶️ r Slowing my brush only delays the inevitable.
  • ▶️ r Your natural talents weren't quite enough.
  • ▶️ r My time will never come, guardian!
  • ▶️ r You practice at the dark arts, Lannik. I perform them.
  • ▶️ r Spindled by my brush.
  • ▶️ r The whispers of your wind grow faint, ranger.
  • ▶️ r My only regret is you won't live to write about me.
  • ▶️ r I'll take what I please from your collection, and burn the rest.
  • ▶️ r You can't even help yourself, doctor.
  • ▶️ r Better luck next time.
  • ▶️ r I'll ensure your legend lives on, Ostarion, but not your reign.
  • ▶️ r A god turned mortal is more helpless than a child.

  • ▶️ r They say you always were. Now you'll never be again.
  • ▶️ r This was the great jailer of the Ancients? This war should be easy to win.
  • ▶️ r I've no time for barely literate imbeciles.
  • ▶️ r If only you turned your attention from your barrel to the fight at hand.
  • ▶️ r A working class hero is nothing to me.
  • ▶️ r Mh mh mh ha ha ha, the way the legs twitch, I thought she was still alive.
  • ▶️ r I thought you'd survive longer than that.
  • ▶️ r If only all Oglodi were as interesting as you. And as weak.
  • ▶️ r Look what happens to a puppet when you cut the strings.
  • ▶️ r I send you to meet your kin!
  • ▶️ r Killing your kind is almost beneath me, cur!
  • ▶️ r Surrounded by blue collar buffoons!
  • ▶️ r What then does this portend?
  • ▶️ r Ughh, the stench is overwhelming.
  • ▶️ r Your footfalls were careless, Riki.

Meeting an ally

  • ▶️ r We walk upon two forks of the same path, Abaddon.
  • ▶️ r The font of my power was not so obvious, Abaddon.
  • ▶️ r I hope the balance of your blends is just right today, Razzil.
  • ▶️ r Just between us, Kaldr, what's your stake in all this?
  • ▶️ r The normal ones grow out of their childhood dreams, Anti-Mage.
  • ▶️ r If I prod the other one, do you feel it?
  • ▶️ r Is "Zet" your name, or just a useful pronoun?
  • ▶️ r Nothing pretty about you, Oglodi. But there is artistry in your moves.
  • ▶️ r Have you noticed the cascade of blood that whirls from your blade? It's quite captivating.
  • ▶️ r Tell me, Bane, have you ever been to Ashkavor?
  • ▶️ r Your family must have been very wealthy, Batrider, to afford such a beast.
  • ▶️ r Do you clean up after that thing yourself, Batrider?
  • ▶️ r Your pets don't interest me, Beastmaster. I've some of my own.
  • ▶️ r I cannot wait to see what we can accomplish together, bloodbag.
  • ▶️ r Are you bound to the Flayed Twins by honor, Bloodseeker, or arcane oath?
  • ▶️ r Ready to double your money, Gondar?
  • ▶️ r There's something soothing about the sound of your voice, Gondar.
  • ▶️ r I'm no prude, Brewmaster. The time for revelry will come.
  • ▶️ r I work better with a clear mind, Brewmaster. But thank you all the same.
  • ▶️ r Are you actively trying to disgust me, Bristleback? Because it's working.
  • ▶️ r I'm guessing you lacked for role models as a child, Bristleback.
  • ▶️ r The lines of your webs accentuate the battlefield nicely, Arachnia.
  • ▶️ r We'll bring meaning to this battle, Centaur!
  • ▶️ r Do the phantasms live inside you, Chaos Knight? Or do you summon them from the aether?
  • ▶️ r I understand your quest, Chaos Knight, but ask yourself this: What is the darkness without the light?
  • ▶️ r You act the honorable part, Chen. But you betray your true self in the service of charlatans.
  • ▶️ r Do you care for the animals in your charge, Chen? Or are they just pawns to be placed in battle?
  • ▶️ r Your tortured existence is a compelling argument against doing the right thing, Clinkz.
  • ▶️ r Such craftsmanship, Clockwerk. Your talents at the forge outstrip even the finest smiths.
  • ▶️ r Will you still don your armor once this battle is won, Clockwerk?
  • ▶️ r The fools here don't appreciate your talents, Maiden. You could be so much more.
  • ▶️ r They laugh at you, Rylai, yet you continue to smile. Make them fear you!
  • ▶️ r Your strategy matters little to me, Dark Seer, but I'm sure we'll find a way.
  • ▶️ r Have you ever been mistaken for someone else, Dazzle?
  • ▶️ r The remnants of my people also seek death, prophet. Don't give them any new ideas.
  • ▶️ r You're not allowed to die until the battle is over, Prophet.
  • ▶️ r There must be a hidden repository of your people somewhere, Disruptor. What secrets might we find there?
  • ▶️ r You're far too intelligent to fight for nothing at all, Doom. What's your true purpose?
  • ▶️ r Stay away from me, Kaolin!
  • ▶️ r I find your presence offensive, Xin!
  • ▶️ r I meant to tell you, Mireska, I recently crossed paths with a Fae stalker who was asking about your whereabouts.
  • ▶️ r My people might've preferred mere arson to the sins of my past.
  • ▶️ r Your magics are impressive, Invoker. But what's it all for?
  • ▶️ r Do you even remember your life's work, Invoker?
  • ▶️ r Let me lead the way, Lion. You'll know when to strike.
  • ▶️ r You understand, Lion. Nothing gained with nothing given.
  • ▶️ r I'm fairly certain I've met another druid before.
  • ▶️ r Your early works are impressive, Wukong, but I'm not a fan of the newer stuff.
  • ▶️ r Poor naga. Your sense of honor leads only to greater injustice.
  • ▶️ r Him, I like!
  • ▶️ r Oh, lucky me...
  • ▶️ r Do you ever fall prey to a sudden reversal of inspiration, Oracle?
  • ▶️ r Was my rise foreseen, Oracle? What would have become of her... of us... had I taken another path?
  • ▶️ r Do you take anything seriously, Donté?
  • ▶️ r Enchanted, I'm sure.
  • ▶️ r You won't be seeing me in the Narrow Maze, Razor.
  • ▶️ r Any good secrets floating on the air, Riki?
  • ▶️ r Is it true about Aghanim's demise? I've heard conflicting reports.
  • ▶️ r Who's guarding the wastes if you're here, Sand King?
  • ▶️ r I have a feeling we're going to get along famously, Shadow Demon.
  • ▶️ r I caught all of my souls at once, Nevermore. One at a time sounds... tedious.
  • ▶️ r We'll bring the two birds. Someone else can bring the stone.
  • ▶️ r Move along, Silencer. You'll find no friend in me.
  • ▶️ r You may move to quiet others, Silencer, but make no such trouble with me!
  • ▶️ r My power was also granted that it might serve others, Skywrath. But I chose a different path.
  • ▶️ r Thoughts of lost loves only entrap us in the past, Skywrath. Dwell not on what might have been.
  • ▶️ r I'll lure them into your trap, Slardar.
  • ▶️ r By blade and brush, this battle will be ours.
  • ▶️ r With an eye as keen as yours, you might have made a fine artist, Kardel.
  • ▶️ r Together, Spectre, we'll fight them on all fronts.
  • ▶️ r Tell me more about this master of yours, Bara. I've found nothing but rumors.
  • ▶️ r What made you choose this realm, Spirit Breaker? Some dark purpose?
  • ▶️ r So you let this spirit wear you like a hat, Thunderkeg?
  • ▶️ r Don't make me lose what little respect I had for you, Raijin.
  • ▶️ r Twin hammers await our enemies, my taciturn friend.
  • ▶️ r The line between brilliance and buffoonery is shockingly thin.
  • ▶️ r We don't pair well together, Techies, but I expect you're used to that.
  • ▶️ r I've discovered a few secrets of my own, Lanaya. Want to compare notes?
  • ▶️ r Foulfell sounds like a scenic getaway.
  • ▶️ r Don't take my disinterest personally, Tidehunter. We've nothing in common.
  • ▶️ r Play your role well, and I'll have nothing but praise for you, Tidehunter.
  • ▶️ r Face it, Timbersaw, the trees are your muse, and look at what you've created!
  • ▶️ r The elegance of your designs intrigue me, Tinker.
  • ▶️ r A sentient rock? Hmh, ok, that's a new one.
  • ▶️ r I too was a protector, Treant... Or so my people thought.
  • ▶️ r Something about you really appeals to me, Troll, but I can't put my finger on it.
  • ▶️ r There's more to life than punching things as hard as you can.
  • ▶️ r So, what's Aziyog like, Underlord? Paint me a picture.
  • ▶️ r I can see you think you're part of something greater, Undying. But I am something greater.
  • ▶️ r Honestly, I wasn't aware you were capable of speech, Ursa.
  • ▶️ r When we're finished here, princess, I could help you take what's rightfully yours.
  • ▶️ r Is the scholar still in there, Venomancer?
  • ▶️ r The wonders of the natural world find a potent mix in you, Viper.
  • ▶️ r Are my people on your list, Visage? I'm not done with them.
  • ▶️ r Fatal Bonds, Warlock? Hmm, I like that.
  • ▶️ r Your penmanship is surprisingly bad, Warlock.
  • ▶️ r So, you're just an interdimensional seamstress.
  • ▶️ r Trust me, Lyralei, you're better off not knowing your people.
  • ▶️ r There is grace in the form of a ranger.
  • ▶️ r I love a good collaboration, Wyvern. What do you say?
  • ▶️ r Your presence here honors me, Auroth.
  • ▶️ r If your strange rituals work, who am I to question?
  • ▶️ r For a doctor, you certainly inflict a lot of harm.
  • ▶️ r I must admit, Ostarion, you knew all along what I discovered only by accident.
  • ▶️ r Ostarion, your kingdom was a wonder to behold.
  • ▶️ r Were your transgressions worth so steep a price, Zeus?
  • ▶️ r Love leads only to suffering, Zeus.

This is a monologue, it always plays in the same order

  • ▶️ r It was long past time when I returned to Ashkavor.
  • ▶️ r Only once I'd grown strong enough, and the revenants could harm me no more.
  • ▶️ r In the first days, they'd hounded me. Driven me away! I had no control.
  • ▶️ r But in time, mastery came to me. Just as it always had.
  • ▶️ r My city. The temple around the rune stone. It was exactly as I'd left it. Still. Lifeless. A sculpture of the end of days.
  • ▶️ r Just the first dark mural brought to life by the tip of my brush.
  • ▶️ r How the spirits wailed at my arrival!
  • ▶️ r Staring into those faces once so dear to me... Did I feel sorrow?
  • ▶️ r You know as well as I, my people invited this fate upon themselves.
  • ▶️ r I'm not the last of my people. Those who ascended before me still remain.
  • ▶️ r The Ascended Ones shrink from me. They still hope our people can be saved.
  • ▶️ r The power of the Ascended Ones was warped by my transformation. They live... barely.
  • ▶️ r With the power of the Ancients in hand, the last remnants of my kind will learn, there's nowhere left to hide.
  • ▶️ r The hollow spaces I feel inside will at last be made whole.
