Loadout

Entering battle

  • ▶️ Skeleton King!
  • ▶️ Bow to your king!
  • ▶️ King am I of all that is flesh and bone!
  • ▶️ Do not question my purpose, just follow my commands!
  • ▶️ The bone king.
  • ▶️ And so the war begins.
  • ▶️ They could all surrender now, but something tells me they aren't smart enough.
  • ▶️ Worry not, peasants, this war can finally begin.
  • ▶️ Let's get this over with quickly, I've got nations to kill.
  • ▶️ Run from it if you will, but none can stop the legion of bone.
  • ▶️ At this point, you should really just address me as emperor.
  • ▶️ In a pathetic way, I sometimes envy those who get to wake each day in my kingdom. Free of the worries concerning of its expansion.
  • ▶️ There's something different today, but I can't put my finger on it.
  • ▶️ Where I tread, a kingdom of bone follows.
  • ▶️ Count yourself fortunate, mortals and other base creatures, you finally have a chance to be part of something that will last forever.
  • ▶️ There's nothing unhealthy about my obsession. Here, let me show you.
  • ▶️ I have a very good feeling about today. Call it kingly intuition.
  • ▶️ Don't call it a comeback!
  • ▶️ Kneel before your king, and I might spare your head.
  • ▶️ Kneel peasants. I said kneel!
  • ▶️ A fresh harvest begins.
  • ▶️ Submit to the Empire of Bone.
  • ▶️ People keep asking if I'm back. Yeah, I'm thinking I'm back.
  • ▶️ Who dares approach my throne?
  • ▶️ Swear your fealty to the Empire of Bone?
  • ▶️ Wherever I lay my throne is home.
  • ▶️ I swing the executioner's blade myself.
  • ▶️ Bow before me, or prepare to meet your fate.
  • ▶️ I do not suffer fools in my courts. I prefer to make them suffer.
  • ▶️ Surprised to see me? Yeah, I get that a lot.
  • ▶️ I've just thought of the perfect place to kill a few rivals in no time. No questions asked.

Taunting

  • ▶️ It's as certain as my choice of heir, this one is in the bag.
  • ▶️ This one is in the bag, and not one of those drab bags the lot of you are using. A royal bag, well beyond your petty needs.

Beginning battle

  • ▶️ Who are we going to kill today?
  • ▶️ Slaughter is just one letter away from slaughters. So let's not limit our imaginations to one at a time.
  • ▶️ It's the little things that make a life. Hearth, an Empire of Bone, and collecting the corpses of noteworthy opponents.
  • ▶️ The smart ones consider it an honor to be added to my collection, but most still put up a fight.
  • ▶️ Different bones for different reasons. Do I need these bones specifically? We'll say, yes.
  • ▶️ There's a fine line between a collection and a compulsion.
  • ▶️ The bone war begins!
  • ▶️ Comes now the king of bones.
  • ▶️ You haven't known war until you've warred with me.
  • ▶️ I won't go easy on you. The weak and stupid die on this stand.

  • ▶️ I'll help my weak and puny allies where I can.

  • ▶️ What sort of king was that?
  • ▶️ You call yourself a king?
  • ▶️ What's this, Sand King? No bones?
  • ▶️ u How can sand be a king? It can't, that's how.
  • ▶️ u Most pretenders have rocks in their heads, not literal dirt.
  • ▶️ My queen.
  • ▶️ Oh, Queen of Pain, I still can't feel your touch.
  • ▶️ I would that you had join me as my queen.
  • ▶️ r I bear no more fears of the flesh, Akasha.
  • ▶️ "Undying", they called you, that's a laugh.
  • ▶️ Don't expect me to sing your dirge.
  • ▶️ u The death of Dirge is the most pleasant melody.
  • ▶️ Dirge's death plays sweetly in my ears.
  • ▶️ u Dirge, learn from the master, and bow to your king.
  • ▶️ r Kids these days. Everything is hyperbole.
  • ▶️ r Undying done did die!
  • ▶️ You'll make a better subject than anything in your book.
  • ▶️ r I used to have need of men like you, but no longer, obviously.
  • ▶️ You dare raise a hand—or whatever that is—against your king?
  • ▶️ Invertebrate scum!
  • ▶️ I have no use for an exoskeleton.
  • ▶️ r Ugh, is this the start of an infestation? We'll see about that.
  • ▶️ Your spirits have abandoned you in the kingdom of the damned!
  • ▶️ r You see Prophet, I know all about death.
  • ▶️ Your shades guided you to my kingdom. Perhaps they weren't your allies after all.
  • ▶️ r We have laws against performers where I'm from. Off with his head.
  • ▶️ That ember was easily snuffed.
  • ▶️ r I need not fear flames, spirit.
  • ▶️ From ashes reborn, I know the feeling.
  • ▶️ r I think it's best if I remain the resurrection expert around here.
  • ▶️ Sorry, Doom, I was a great admirer of your work.
  • ▶️ u No, I'm the bringer of doom. They have you confused for someone else.
  • ▶️ Underlord, your title is worthless here.
  • ▶️ And you call yourself a lord?
  • ▶️ r You should've bowed to your rightful king. Subservience is literally in your name.
  • ▶️ Go back and guard your arcs.
  • ▶️ r Time to crack that thing open, and find out what you're really about.
  • ▶️ r The Ancients are just another footnote in my story. I don't care what you think your role is.
  • ▶️ Lord of what land were you again?
  • ▶️ r Even as an unofficial title, "warlord" was pushing it.
  • ▶️ Was that some sort of lord?
  • ▶️ r I had a steed like this once. It's good to be reunited.
  • ▶️ r I don't want your mist. Just the brittle innards.
  • ▶️ Funny, I don't remember knighting that one.
  • ▶️ r Dragons are still below skeleton kings on the badass hierarchy!
  • ▶️ You should know better than to oppose a king.
  • ▶️ r Bring on your legions, Tresdin. I welcome more.
  • ▶️ Even Titans must bend the knee.
  • ▶️ r I thought you did harder than that, Titan.
  • ▶️ Court mage? More like court jester.
  • ▶️ r The good news is, that your petty problems won't follow you in death.
  • ▶️ Your spirit was too lowly to stand before a king.
  • ▶️ r Pretty fancy moves for a talking statue.
  • ▶️ No amount of foresight could have prepared you.
  • ▶️ r A forgettable death. Perhaps that's why you cannot avoid it .
  • ▶️ You were a poor pretender to my throne.
  • ▶️ r Nothing I hate more than a demon with ambiguous goals.
  • ▶️ You are here out of season, Winter Wyvern.
  • ▶️ r We have very different opinions on the subject of art.
  • ▶️ I could not tolerate such an explosive presence in my kingdom.
  • ▶️ r Three for the price of one! Sometimes life's too easy.
  • ▶️ r Oh blast my bones, that was annoying!
  • ▶️ r I could've used an assassin who only knows one word, pity. I'm assuming "Nyx" means "kill".
  • ▶️ What lacks a skeleton also lacks a soul.
  • ▶️ r You're useless to me.
  • ▶️ r Get this water puddle out of my way!
  • ▶️ A small pile of bones you'll make.
  • ▶️ A more repugnant skeleton I've never seen.
  • ▶️ r I heard they need a xylophone player in Hell.
  • ▶️ Clinkz, still playing at bows and arrows I see.
  • ▶️ r Here lies a mortal who truly knew the meaning of duty.
  • ▶️ r Let's test this immortality of yours a bit further.
  • ▶️ r Two bags of bones. A nice bit of fortune.
  • ▶️ r Even two of you combined hardly stack up.
  • ▶️ r Leave me to my mission, Apparition. You're a waste of time.
  • ▶️ r Little more than a destruction in the end.
  • ▶️ r Your bones would be wasted on the Dead God.
  • ▶️ r No bones break from my grasp, Anti-Mage.
  • ▶️ r I've always enjoyed your brutal simplicity, Axe, until it got in my way.
  • ▶️ r Let me tell you a little story about nightmares, Bane.
  • ▶️ r What I really wanted was the bat, but I won't say no to the rider, too.
  • ▶️ r Let that be a lesson to all who refuse my offers of employment.
  • ▶️ r The Flayed Twins could be on to something. Maybe I should get a bone seeker.
  • ▶️ r You didn't need to track me, the king doesn't hide.
  • ▶️ r I really wanted to like you, too.
  • ▶️ r The feast will go on without you, in my eye.
  • ▶️ r A dangerous carcass like that must hide rare bones indeed.
  • ▶️ r I've got no use for arachnids.
  • ▶️ r We'll have leg bones for days.
  • ▶️ r Oh, if only the phantoms were corporeal, too.
  • ▶️ r Chen, I thought so little of you, I'm not even going to offer any parting words.
  • ▶️ r Born followers get no respect from the likes of me!
  • ▶️ r Why, there's bones underneath there after all.
  • ▶️ r Damn you, I hate it when they shatter!
  • ▶️ r I know the perfect place for this one.
  • ▶️ r Such vitality is wasted on the young.
  • ▶️ r I have no need of your sorcery, Nothl weirdo.
  • ▶️ r Confound me no more, sorcerer.
  • ▶️ r Why do they let these hideous creatures procreate?
  • ▶️ r Time to fix you, for a totem of bone!
  • ▶️ r I thought to wait for more little creatures to arrive, but I became impatient.
  • ▶️ r I do not waste words on amorphous blobs.
  • ▶️ r In the land of the blind, I'm still king.
  • ▶️ r Count yourself fortunate, I didn't do worse with the brush.
  • ▶️ r You were past your years anyway, old man. Best to get you before your bones go completely brittle.
  • ▶️ r Killing the crazy ones isn't as fun, because they don't care if they lose.
  • ▶️ r I have no words for disembodied balls of light.
  • ▶️ r Trust me, Invoker, everyone knew you had this coming.
  • ▶️ r You remind me of the advisors I like to kill.
  • ▶️ r This rare specimen calls for a celebration. Bring me a peasant to kill.
  • ▶️ r I always enjoy killing the last of ones kind.
  • ▶️ r Helpless old man, I guess your looks weren't deceiving, hm hm hm hm.
  • ▶️ r Time to answer this question once and for all, Kunkka.
  • ▶️ r You'll make a nice wall mount for my summer home.
  • ▶️ r I generally prefer to remove a victim's flesh myself. But I'll find ways to divert my disappointment.
  • ▶️ r Your jailers mustn't have been very skilled.
  • ▶️ r Nothing left but ashes. What a waste.
  • ▶️ r I'm long past need for your services, Demon Witch.
  • ▶️ r The bear isn't real? But that's the part I wanted!
  • ▶️ r You weren't worthy of such a fine animal.
  • ▶️ r Don't worry, Nova, I'll fix you. I'll fix everything.
  • ▶️ r It was thoughtful of you to bring the wolves, too.
  • ▶️ r I told you there is no marrow!
  • ▶️ r Who are you again?
  • ▶️ r Talking beast coming out of the woodwork.
  • ▶️ r He he, if you were the god of war, I guess that likens me to the god of death.
  • ▶️ r Your magic is far less effective on bone.
  • ▶️ r I guess I'll have to clean up the riffraff myself.
  • ▶️ r I generally dislike killing felines, but the rider died quiet well.
  • ▶️ r Don't worry Sagan, I can bring you back to life..ish.
  • ▶️ r I've been waiting to shut your mouth for a long time, Wukong.
  • ▶️ r Gods can't kill you, but I'm not a god. Hail to the real king!
  • ▶️ r I see you more as an instrument type.
  • ▶️ r I love a nice set of antlers. Really ties the room together.
  • ▶️ r Your plague works no wonders on me.
  • ▶️ r Fear of the dark is basic, wouldn't you say?
  • ▶️ r The others don't see it, but your bone value is off the charts!
  • ▶️ r I love to watch for that moment when belief leaves their eyes.
  • ▶️ r This was my divine right!
  • ▶️ r Well, killing me obviously wasn't your purpose.
  • ▶️ r You fight for justice, Pangolier? There is no justice, there is just me.
  • ▶️ r Your kind follows too many rules for my liking, Assassin. You only need one rule: My rule!
  • ▶️ r I bet you thought things were going to get pretty funny. I don't like funny!
  • ▶️ r I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt, on account of the whiskers, but safer just to kill you.
  • ▶️ r I hate Faerie Dragons more than real dragons.
  • ▶️ r Well at least the flesh will fall right off the bone.
  • ▶️ r There's no place for the likes of you in my collection.
  • ▶️ r As I suspected, the bones appeared just fine.
  • ▶️ r Not even you can unravel my best tricks, magus.
  • ▶️ r I'm advanced beyond unbroken servants, Shadow Demon.
  • ▶️ r The punishment for molesting my soul is extreme indeed.
  • ▶️ r I will not be silent. I will be the opposite of silent, and you'll be dead.
  • ▶️ r I think I'll carve your spine into a whistle, Slardar.
  • ▶️ r I hired you for one simple job. What do I care if they threw you in prison?
  • ▶️ r Gods above and demons below, do you ever shut up, woman?
  • ▶️ r The lizard had its charms, but even the best Keen are hardly tolerable.
  • ▶️ r I think I stepped on something.
  • ▶️ r I don't get you trans-dimensional types. It seems like this fate was easily avoided.
  • ▶️ r Tell your master our contract is void. He didn't hold up his end of the bargain.
  • ▶️ r I have no use for electricity, I'm all bone. I already have power.
  • ▶️ r The intermingled creatures always have the most interesting physiology.
  • ▶️ r Now you know the secret.
  • ▶️ r Tell your master I want my sundial back!
  • ▶️ r At last, the great Tidehunter! A scrimshander's delight.
  • ▶️ r 'Tis fortunate I don't require his brain.
  • ▶️ r I know his type. Better off dead.
  • ▶️ r Why'd you roll across my path anyway, Tiny?
  • ▶️ r I told you, I have no interest in trees. They can all be cut down after the war is over.
  • ▶️ r A chance to bone up on my scrimshaw.
  • ▶️ r All the collectors had their eyes on you.
  • ▶️ r You mentioned a den, Ursa? Where would I find that?
  • ▶️ r Taking back your own kingdom lacks imagination. I'll settle for nothing less than all kingdoms.
  • ▶️ r Do these things even have bones? I can never tell.
  • ▶️ r All you did was give me a bit of polish, Viper.
  • ▶️ r I told you, I don't belong there!
  • ▶️ r No bones about it. You suck.
  • ▶️ r All that effort for nothing.
  • ▶️ r That's for breaking my sundial!
  • ▶️ r I half expected your corpse to just blow away.
  • ▶️ r I'll never need a doctor again, thank you.
  • ▶️ r Mortals have this phrase, "God's bones". Let's unpack that a bit.
  • ▶️ r You should have stayed on your mountain, Zeus. My forces won't get there for ages.
  • ▶️ r Your tiny carcass was almost a waste of my time!
  • ▶️ r Inarticulate and savage, a fitting way for you to die.
  • ▶️ u Ditch that other loser, and take a walk on the dead side.
  • ▶️ u Your parts are useless to me.
  • ▶️ u The simple tools are the best tools, especially when sharpened.
  • ▶️ u Hollow bones? Why I'd kill you again if you weren't already dead.

First Blood

  • ▶️ First blood! I still got it!
  • ▶️ It is only right that the first blood should go to your king.
  • ▶️ First blood. Now to the business of the day, second blood.
  • ▶️ First blood. The bone harvest begins.

This is a monologue, it always plays in the same order
1st monologue

  • ▶️ When I look out my window, I see a kingdom of bone.
  • ▶️ When I don't see a kingdom of bone, I see a land begging to be part of it.
  • ▶️ One kingdom after another falls as I build my great empire.
  • ▶️ And when there are no more worlds to conquer, will I weep?
  • ▶️ Do I look like the sentimental type?!
  • ▶️ By that point, the first additions will need a good reminder anyway.

2nd monologue

  • ▶️ If you chop off my arm, I'm just gonna stick it back on there.
  • ▶️ If you sever my head, eventually my body will find its way home.
  • ▶️ Hold no hope to defeat me, I am immortal royalty! And you are lower than a peasant.

3rd monologue

  • ▶️ I have no need for memories of flesh.
  • ▶️ Flesh decays. Flesh ends.
  • ▶️ But I will not end. My reign will not end.
  • ▶️ Those who understand that fact can find a place in my empire.
  • ▶️ Those who oppose it, well, I'll find a place for them in my empire, too. As crafted bone!
