==Dialogue==
"Greetings, . I am Wanum, special envoy of Queen Urzoga. My job is to keep watch over you. She wants to make sure you're not stirring up trouble. That said, you are welcome to try, yes?"
:I'll keep that in mind. "Please do. In the meantime, there is something else we need to discuss."
:Are you done? "Not quite. There is something else we must discuss."
If approached again:
:How did you come to serve the Bloodfall Queen? "My parents came here during the reign of the Bloodfall King, the Queen's grandfather. The future Queen took me under her wing. I have remained with her ever since."
:What do you know about the Greencaps? "Nothing would please me more than crushing their leader's skull under my heel. You could say I don't care much for them."
:No, I'm fine. Goodbye.
Show: Picking up the Pieces
"The Bloodfall Queen requests your assistance."
:Does she now? "It appears the Greencaps have attacked a nearby settlement, and her Highness wants you to investigate. We need to make sure the bandits did this, and find as much as we can about the attack. You will do this for your beloved sovereign, yes?"
::I will. "That is like sunshine on my scales. Please report everything you see there."
::Tell the queen I need to think about it. "Hrmph. You think too much."
If approached again:
"Be sure to let me know what you saw at the raided settlement."
After clearing the settlement:
"So, what do you have to report?"
:The settlement was destroyed. "Was it the Greencaps?"
::Yes, and some mercenaries. "I will report this to the Queen. Thank you."
If approached again:
"We haven't heard much about the Greencaps since their last raid... You should ask around to see if anyone's heard anything."
Show: The Lair of the Sorcerer-King
"Can I help you with anything, dryskin?"
:Heard anything about undead sightings in the region? "You mean apart from the attacks on our stronghold? Hmmm, let me think... Fort Cassynder has been considered haunted for as long as I can remember it. Maybe you should try there."
Show: The Greencaps' Trail
"So? Did you hear anything?"
:Rumors of bandits in Woodhope Keep. "That is... interesting. That keep has been in disrepair for years. We will go together. There may be jagged rocks in this river. What do you say, Warrior?"
::I say we go and find out. "Very good. I'll be right behind you."
::I doubt these rumors are true. "Point taken. Let me know if you change your mind."
If refused and then approached again:
"We should look into those rumors that bandits have set up a nest in Woodhope Keep. What do you say, Warrior?"
:I say we go and find out. "Very good. I'll be right behind you."
:I doubt these rumors are true. "Point taken. Let me know if you change your mind."
After accepting the quest:
"Ready to go when you are, dryskin. Just say the word."
Inside Woodhope Keep:
"Something's ahead. I can smell it."
"All right, let's see if we can find any bandits."
"Let's go a little bit further, I think I hear something."
After unlocking a door:
"All right, you go on in, I'll stand watch."
:Sounds like a plan. "
:Are you afraid of a few bandits? "Not at all. I'll simply be here to catch any of them that tries to escape your wrath. Come back to me when you've scoured the place." 
"Don't worry, Warrior. I have it covered."
After clearing the keep:
"Found something?"
"Did you find any bandits?"
:No, only goblins and trolls. "Hmm. This clouds the waters. We should return to town and figure out our next move."
"Let us head back to town and figure out how to proceed, yes?"
Show: No Honor Among Thieves
"Greetings, Warrior. The Queen has a task for you."
:What is the task? "The Greencaps terrorize us with no signs of stopping. We need to strike blow against them. But they are clever, and their base is well-defended."
::I'm guessing you have a plan. "The Greencaps conspire with goblins. We can make it appear as though they have broken the agreement. I've acquired a shield belonging to a lieutenant from the Greencaps. Kill the goblins camped near the bandits' headquarters. Leave behind the shield."
:::This plan sounds familiar. ""
:::Not very creative. "We must make do with what we have. The Queen's resources are stretched thin, especially with her hired men defecting to join the bandits. Will you help us?"
::::Yes. ""
::::Not this time. "Will everyone abandon her highness? These are dark times indeed..."
If refused and then approached again:
"Have you returned to offer your help? We must stop the Greencaps before they destabilize the entire realm."
:What's the mission again? "There is a goblin camp nearby. Destroy it, and leave this shield belonging to the Greencap lieutenant."
:Okay, I'll do it. "I am grateful. When you are ready, I will guide you to the goblin camp."
:No, not right now. "I am... disappointed. Farewell."
After completing the quest:
"Thank you for your service, Warrior. I will see to it the Queen knows what you've done for her."
Show: In the Queen's Service
"The Queen bids you to meet her in Drakewood Forest, where a bandit outpost has been discovered. She will tell you what she expects of you. In person. Are you ready to go?"
:Ready as I'll ever be. "Better hurry to it, then."
:I have other things to do first. "Are you sure these can't wait? Remember, my eyes follow you."
If refused at first:
"The Queen awaits in Drakewood forest with a special mission for you."
After completing the quest:
"What news do you bring, Warrior?"
:The Greencaps are working with the goblins. "I'll be... I have never seen anything like this before! Something is very wrong here... But I suppose we will have to wait until the queen requires that we act."
Show: Raid on the Bandits' Base
"Things are moving quickly, Warrior. The Queen is mounting an assault on the Greencaps' base. I cautioned her against it, given that most of her mercenaries have switched sides, but she would not listen. I fear what may happen to her, should her attack fail to go as planned. Will you aid me in ensuring that no harm comes to her?"
:I'll go. You stay here and protect the town. "Understood. You have my gratitude, ."
:She can take care of herself. "That is true, but I can't speak for the few hired swords that still follow her. They don't care about her."
If refused at first:
"I fear the Queen's raid on the Greencaps' base is too risky. Will you aid me in ensuring that no harm comes to her?"
After accepting the quest:
"Do not tarry, Warrior, or I fear dark waters may swallow us all."
After completing the quest:
"Warrior, you have returned! I trust the Queen is safe and sound?"
:She is. I arrived just in time. "Wonderful! , you are now as an egg-brother to me." 
If approached again:
"Thank you for protecting our Queen, Warrior. You are a true champion!"
Show: A Snake in the Grass
"The Queen believes a bandit spy may have overheard us discussing the attack, and warned the Greencaps in advance. We need to find this spy. You should ask around. Look for any sign of suspicious activity, anyone acting strange... Well, stranger than usual, anyway. Can you handle this?"
:I'm on it. "Good. Come back to see me if you find anything."
:Why don't you do it? "For some reason, the townsfolk trust me far less than they trust you."
If refused at forst:
"The Queen needs you to ferret out the bandit spy hiding in this town. Can you handle this?"
If approached again after accepting the quest:
"Have you learned the identity of the bandit spy yet?"
:Nothing so far. "We are treading in dark waters. I do not like it one bit."
After talking to some of the people in the town:
"Have you learned the identity of the bandit spy yet?"
:A lot of folks seem to think it's you... "Me? But I'm so likeable!"
After talking to all of the people in the town:
"Please, Warrior, tell me you've found something..."
:Guthrum of the Isles is the bandit spy. "The crazy priest? Well now, that is unexpected. Did you apprehend him?"
::No. He's hiding in the Ayleid ruins nearby. "He doesn't stand a chance against those undead. What was he thinking? I'll notify the queen and ask what she wants us to do. Thank you, ."
If approached again:
"I'll let you know as soon as the queen responds to my last message."
Show: A Treacherous Quarry
"The Queen has learned of Guthrum's treachery, and gives you her blessing to do with him as you see fit. She does suggest trying to get as much out of him as you can before you do, though."
:I'll try. "I know you will, dryskin. Will you go after the traitor?"
::You can be sure of that. "Good. Let us know what you learned."
::Let the wights deal with him. "I am not sure that's wise. He could have valuable information.
:That's if he's still alive to begin with. "True. His egg spent too much time in the shade if he thought that was a good hiding place. Will you go after the traitor?"
::You can be sure of that. "Good. Let us know what you learned."
::Let the wights deal with him. "I am not sure that's wise. He could have valuable information.
If refused at first:
"The Queen has put that traitor Guthrum's fate into your hands."
After dealing with Guthrum:
"Ah, Warrior. Were you able to get anything out of that treacherous priest?"
:Yes. He was spying on us. "As we suspected. Anything else?"
::I know where to find the bandit leader. "Sun on my scales, this is perfect! I will send word of this to the queen at once. Thank you, Warrior. May the rains be ever on your back."
If approached again:
"I think te queen will be pleased with the information you obtained, Warrior."
Show: The Five Stones
"Good news, Warrior. The Queen sends word that the death mage finally broke and told us everything. The necromancers' hideout is found near Valenwood. Apparently they have some powerful enchanted stones...Varla stones, I think? Are you ready to go?"
:I'm on my way. ""
:In a little while. "Take all the time you need."
If approached again:
"You know where the stones are. All you need to do now is get them back."
Show: The Queen's Justice
"Is anything the matter, Warrior?"
:A farmer says his brother was murdered. "Let me guess: he wants the Queen to do something about it."
::He wants me to ask her. "The Queen is busy with all the other claims, but you can always mention it to her. If he's lucky she'll agree to investigate his case."
::She should do something. ""
After talking to the Queen:
"Do you need anything?"
:I need a royal warrant. "A warrant? For you!?"
::Queen's orders. "Hmm. The river is more troubled than I had imagined. Very well, I suppose the Queen knows what she's doing... Here you go."
::You seem surprised. "This warrant gives you the power of search and seizure throughout the realm. Such authority should not be treated lightly. Are you worthy of it?"
:::The Queen thinks so. ""
:::Are you jealous? "I have no cause to be jealous. Here, enjoy your newfound power."

Show: Gabrielle's Treasure
"The Queen was quite furious with you for not telling her aobut the treasure. I had to remind her how loyal you had been, and how much we need you in these dark times."
:Thank you for that. "Sure. I just hope the treasure really is there."
:I was going to tell her. "Of course you were. Still, it would be wise not to do something like that again."
:"To tell you the truth, I'm not comfortable with this whole idea, but the Queen seems determined. Let's hope it's all worth it."
After rescuing Wanum:
"Thank you, Warrior. I had a feeling you'd show up."
:That's what I do. "I'll put in a good word for you when we get back to safety."

"Warrior, the Queen has need of your services."
:What for? "There is a village on the road to the Imperial City. People there have gone mad with fear about a haunted castle."
::Local superstition? ""
::Ghosts? ""
::Gone mad? "Perhaps mad is too extreme a word. They're being irrational, and it is a major inconvenience to Her Highness. Local trade is suffering, as people are taking detours to avoid both the castle and the village. It is a detour that costs several days of travel. Her Highness would like you to investigate and resolve the matter. What say you?
:::Okay, I'll go. "Good. Let me know what you find there.
:::Not right now. ""
Upon completion of the quest:
"Did you find any ghosts?"
