Level 5: The Chimera of Desolation Dialogue
Greeting
Hello little hare. I am a Huntsman. I hunt you in accordance with the laws of the Wild Hunt. How do you like our hunt?


Reply 1
The Wild Hunt cannot end until the sacred Spear of Bitter Mercy takes the life of the prey, and the victor Calls the Dark Seducer to View the kill. All must be done in accord with the Law. So you see we are not quite finished yet.
 

Reply 2
I see no reason to not tell you, since you are mere moments from death. We desire that our younger Oathkinsman Egahirn collect the kill. We left our Spears sealed away, so that we are not tempted to kill you in the excitement of the chase.


Reply 3
'''Well, we'll TRY not to kill you. It would be a waste. But you are such fragile vessels, and sometimes we get excited. When provoked. When the chase is hot.


Reply 4
'''Wouldn't you like to know.


Reply 5
Why? To gain power from the rich magica currents around this isle. The Hunt is but a means to that end, and your death merely a fortunate byproduct.


Reply 6
Ho, ho! I will never tell you. They are hidden in strict keeping with the Law of the Wild Hunt.


Reply 7
You amaze me, mortal. How did you find that out?


Reply 8
I have followed the Law of the Hunt to the letter, mortal! Else the Hunt would be over before it started.


Reply 9
You amuse me, mortal. MOST gratifying. To dispute the Law with the Hare. Hah. I shall feast free forever on the charm of this tale. I thank you, Hare, and promise that you shall be immortalized in my glorious account of this Hunt. But, now I fear our chat is over, for the Hunt must continue. Run well, little Hare, and give us good sport.

Level 6: Havok Wellhead Dialogue
Herne Oathkin Dialogue
A manling. As promised. For our sport. Very good.
Oh. Look. An itsy-bitsy eentsy-weentsy toy. Just for us to play with. Isn't our Lady thoughtful.

'''Dogs can wear amulets. And find them in rubbish bins, where they root for their sustenance. Come hither, little dog, and we'll find some nice slops for you to suck.
		

Reply 2	
Yes. Yes. Egahirn is our Oathkin, Playbrother, Lapmate, and Lipfast. What of him?
			

Reply 3
Yeah? Well, get about your business, mortal, and stop stinking up my air.
		

Reply 4
'''Oh. Oh. Oh. A message for Faydra. Give me the message, NOW, mortal, and I'll let you live.
				

Reply 5
'''Hmm. No idea. Excuse me. I think I hear my OathKin calling. North Pit, you say? Yes. Well. Carry on. Faydra's throne room? Well, just ask anyone.
		

Reply 6
Ah. So a message disappears. She'll never know. I just have to have me some HOT FRESH PEOPLE FLESH RIGHT NOW! WHOOPIE!
			

Greeting 2
Lady Faydra is gone. I no longer feel the thrill of her in my heart. No, it couldn't be that YOU had anything to do with that, could it, manling?
			
						
Reply 7
'''Maybe you did Faydra, and maybe you didn't. Doesn't matter to me, now. It's just us, and our personal matters. And time to settle up for what you did to my Oathkin, Egahirn.
		

Reply 8
'''Things are a little confused right now, manling. I think I'll sit this one out, see which way the wind blows. So perhaps a temporary truce is in order. You play nice, and I'll play nice. And later, when things settle down, come see me, and we'll have a nice little chat.

Greeting 3
Goodness. What have we here? An ape? A battlemage in donkeyform? An animated manikin for our sport? Now, if it were a manling, then we would have to leave it be, for such are my Lady's orders. But surely, it cannot be the manling, so we may use it for our jests.
	

Herne Oathkin 2 Dialogue
You! You Took our Playbrother Egahirn! And now he is GONE, the poor sweet thing! We WEEP! We cry! We rip our skins! We HATE our pain. And YOU, mortal, shall share our pain, and drape the WALLS with your gaudy GUTS! For JOY of pain! For WASTE of loss! We MISS our Playbrother! And BURST his Taker!
So. You are the manling who has Taken our Playbrother from us. You do not look like much. We must not give way to weeping -- not until we spread upon the ground your separate parts in all their glory.


Reply 1
Die. Die a thousand times, and beg for a thousand more.


Reply 2
'''This is a personal matter, concerning close Oathkin, manling. You couldn't understand. And will not live long enough to worry about it.


Reply 3
For the moment, manling, you may hide behind the amulet. But later, I promise you, there will be an accounting for your actions.
					

Reply 4
What did you call me, little manling?

Reply 5
You should be more careful, manling. We are sensitive creatures, and quick to take offense.
				
					
Reply 6
In the spirit of universal brotherhood among mortals and immortals, I graciously forgive you.

Herne Oathkin Homeguard Dialogue
What have we here? A mortal? Abroad in the great wide world with no one to save him? Oh, how tired he must be of the long days and nights. Come, fall upon your weapon, and end the pain. Else I fear we must feed you your own dainty parts, and spoil that pretty skin with teeth and fire.
You are in the wrong place, little one. This is your last mistake. Come now. If you kill yourself, you are promised a swift death. If your leave the matter to us, we may spend a long time dying.

	
Reply 1
Hoofs, mortal. Not boots. And all the better to kick in your silly teeth.


Reply 2
We shall see about your amulet, manling, when we place it before my Queen, along with whatever pieces of you decide to accompany it.


Greeting 2
'''I'm inclined to take that amulet and stuff it down your throat. But I have other things to do. Get out of my sight.

Herne Oathkin Boxers Dialogue (Arena)
'''Well. If it isn't the manling master of war. Far from home, and all alone. Come to dance? Come to play? Come to sing? Come to paint the world red with your heart's blood? Or would you fight in the Arena with us?
Manling. Mark me. For Egahirn, I will take your spirit. And better yet, in the Arena of Challenge. For his glory, and mine, I send your spirit into the dark.


Reply 1
So you say. But such amulets are easy to come by. Would you prove your loyalty to Faydra? Then mark this Clannfear on the floor of the Arena. Take his WarAxe of Profane Vitality as your prize, if you can. Then talk to me of common interests and actions.


Reply 2
'''No, manling. Not in the arena. You'll not provoke me into lawless riot here. But outside the Arena, watch your delicate skin.


Reply 3
'''Silly manling! Amulet means NOTHING! You TRESPASS upon the Lord's land, and show no token of his pleasure. Perhaps he will be pleased with your SKIN!


Reply 4
As close as Oathbrothers, manling. Friends forever and ever and ever.


Greeting 2
Well, manling. Very impressive. You dazzle me with your footwork. And your swift changes of allegiance.


Reply 5
'''Perhaps for a while our paths may intertwine, manling. Don't think I'll forget about Egahirn. But there's plenty of time for that accounting. For now, let's see to those capering, lisping green reptiles, shall we?


Reply 6
I understand. An accident. They happen all the time. In fact, I think a very serious accident is about to happen right here.

Notes
Hernes were originally planned to be included as a favored Daedra of Hircine in ESO. One later appeared serving Clavicus Vile.
It is not known where the second Oathkin dialogue from Level 6 appears.
In certain data files, the Herne are instead referred to as the Mastema, of which there are two types; the Mastema Boxer, and the Mastema Homeguard.
