;Boethiah's Calling
If a friend is sacrificed before the cultists are killed:
"Ahhhhgh. Wearing flesh is so... distasteful. You have caught my attention, mortal. That is most unwise. Tell me, why have you slain this one, who trusted you, here upon my shrine?"
:Who are you? "I am called Boethiah. Many names have mortals given me. But I am not interested in names. I am interested only in deeds."
:I have slain <Alias=DeadFriend> to gain your favor. "My favor? My good pleasure is not some trophy for mortal sport! I should slay you for such insolence!"
:My reasons are my own. "Indeed. But I abide only those whose will is aligned to my own. Those who oppose my desires perish in the most dreadful of ways."
::Are you some kind of god? "A god? Assuredly not! When was the last time you saw evidence of Aedra in the world? No, we Daedra are far more powerful than any god. And among my brethren, I am the most feared."
:::I didn't mean to offend. "Were you certain in your purpose, you would have no need to apologize. You have much to learn... But you have proven your will is strong and your heart is devoid of pity. So, perhaps you are not entirely useless... We shall soon find out."
:::I'm not afraid of you. "Is that so? You should be. Though a heart without fear is something I can use... Perhaps you are the one I seek. We shall soon find out."
When addressing the cultists: 
Cultist 1: "Our Lord! She has come!"
Cultist 2: "(Gasps)"
Cultist 3: "She is here, among us."
Cultist 1: "Shhh! Be still. Beware her anger!"
Boethiah: "Listen. All of you! Hear me! I have need of a warrior. Only the most ruthless, cunning, and agile will do. You have gathered here night after night, sacrificing fools upon my shrine, and sparring aimlessly with yourselves. But which among you truly exceeds the rest? Prove yourselves to me! I have a special task for whichever of you is left standing."
If one killed the cultists before sacrificing a friend: 
"Ahhhhgh. Wearing flesh is so... distasteful. You have caught my attention, mortal. That is most unwise. Tell me, why have you slain those who profess to follow in my ways?"
:My reasons are my own. "I abide only those whose will is aligned to my own. Those who oppose my desires perish in the most dreadful of ways. I have a purpose for which you might prove useful. But first I must test the deftness of your guile, and the strength of your purpose. Make a thrall. Lure him to my shrine. Prove your will is stronger. Convince him to embrace the Pillar of Sacrifice, and then slay him without mercy. Do this and I shall remember you and bestow an important task upon you. Do this not, and I shall forget you, and your soul will waste in obscurity."
Upon killing the cultists and sacrificing a follower:
"Well done. You have proven the strength of your will and your tongue's gift for lies. You have shown ferocity and prowess in combat. Now the time has come for a final proving. Are you able to cast aside your honor and strike with the hidden blade?"
:I'll do whatever you ask. "I have little need for mindless thralls. My servants serve their own purposes. But, if their will is insufficient, nor suitably aligned with mine, I simply destroy them. Which brings me to my present concern."
:"Honor" is a coward's tool. "An astute observation. Skyrim is a beautiful and harsh mistress, but her people cling to such a petty notion of honor."
:"My previous champion displeases me. It is time he is replaced - in the traditional fashion."
::Who is he? "I am loath to utter his name... one cannot erase a thing if it has a name to be remembered."
::Where can I find him? "You will find him holed up at Knifepoint Ridge, where he plays king to bandits and highwaymen."
::What has he done to displease you? "For a time he served his purpose, but that time has ended. He uses my gifts for his own amusement, and the only amusement I tolerate is my own."
::Say no more. He's as good as dead. "Kill every single member of his band. Do so as silently and invisibly as you can, for this is not about you. You are to be my instrument in this. Slay him in the coldest of blood. Do not give him the dignity of defending himself. Once his corpse lays cold upon the ground, and all trace of his followers erased, retrieve my Ebony Mail. A gift fit only for my true champion."
After killing her former champion, if one did not use stealth:
"I desired stealth and secrecy, but you executed the task with as much subtlety as a enrage mammoth. But my purpose was ultimately gained. My previous champion was erased, and a new one born. If you can learn to be subtle in rendering death, perhaps I will share more of my power with you. You may keep my Ebony Mail, a token of my appreciation to my new champion. Its gifts will resonate with your talents. Now go. I have strings to pull that require my full attention. You may pursue your own course wherever it leads you. Remember always this: As you will it, so it shall be."''
After killing her former champion, if one did use stealth:
"You have done well, my Champion. You have earned my respect, a feat few manage and live to tell about. I shall write your name upon the Tablet of Absolute Darkness. You may keep my Ebony Mail, a token of my appreciation to my new champion. Its gifts will resonate with your talents. Now go. I have strings to pull that require my full attention. You may pursue your own course wherever it leads you. Remember always this: As you will it, so it shall be."''
