Stressing Party
- Why do we hang about here? We are defeated!
- Does this earth produce NOTHING that is good?
- We're in out of our steps! We must flee!
Switching Position to the Back
- I won't be a punchline!
- Move aside! I'm not dying for you or anyone!
- What a horror!
Passing Turn
- Ah hah. You are mad as a hatter.
- No. No, I think I shall stay here...

- Let them stand behind me?! AH HA HA HAAAAA!
Stressing Party
- Should never have gone with you grinning fiends...
- I trusted my life to you sneaks. Truly I am the fool.
- Sometimes your worst enemies are your "friends"...
Switching Position to the Back
- This is no chance encounter! Someone wants us dead!
- You watch -- our chances will slowly sour....
- We are only MEANT to think them evil. They are being paid...
Passing Turn
- I admire your guile, but I am immune to scheming.
- Directly into the snapping jaws of death? Ha!

- I think this one rather dislikes me!
Party Member Attack Misses
- Ha! Only a traitor could have missed that shot!
- How did you miss? Tell me, before I cut the truth from you!
Party Member Getting Hit
- They bleed poison! Do not let it touch you!
- Smell that? It is sulphur! They are demon-anointed!
Party Member Missed by Enemy
- They missed. How convenient...
- No... It's not possible they missed you. What's your game?
Refusing to Move
- And leave me open to attack? Dear old me?
- ... I'll stay here. Go fool someone else.
Refusing to Use Item
- ... You try it first. I know poison when I see it
- I would doubt me also, but I KNOW you're up to no good.
Refusing to Get Healed
- Pfft. Like as not, you'll just make things worse.
- And infect the wound? You must think me a fool.

- Oh, you like knives? Me too... Heh.
- Yes, drain my blood. I tire of this... "life."
Stressing Party
- Yes, destroy me. What a relief that would be.
- If possible, remove my ears. I tire of their wit.
- I am no more than a man. And so I deserve death.
Switching Position to the Front
- Heh heh here we go!
- An eye for an eye, me chappy?
- I'll trade you! Slice for slice!
Random Action
- By all means, if suicide is your plan...
- Ha! You want to see foolhardy? Then shove over!
- If suicide is your plan, then I am your man.
Camping Stress

- HA HA HAAAAAA!
Damaging Self

- Getting beaten and humiliated is sort of my job. (sad laugh)
Getting Hit by Enemy
- Now here's an end worth singing about.
- Yes, don't leave me out. I deserve all I can get.

- Stop touching me! Go bother someone else!
Refusing to Get Buffed
- What's a few injuries? I have endured this long, yes?
- I would prefer an unadulterated death, thanks.
- You silly buffoon. Bleeding is half the fun!
Refusing to Perform Camping Skills

- I'd rather gut myself. No, I speak true.
- You object to failure? You are in the wrong business.
Refusing to be Target of Camping Skills
- You think me weak, frivolous? Hah!
- I suffered much indignation at Court - I've a taste for it now.

- Mmmmmmmmm... no.
Refusing to Perform Camping Skills

- Put away your toys, little one. It is past your bedtime.
- You pathetic failure. I bite my tongue at you!

- You think that will help? Then it is YOU who are the fool! Ah ha! HAA HAAAAA!
- You people and your cheap parlour tricks. (spits)

- Oh, how I do love a pitiable scream.
- Suppose I'll have to work for my living...
Switching Position to the Back

- Just another sick demonstration of hubris. (snort)
Stressing Party
- Heh. (sigh) Heh.
- What a joke.
- Would that I could quit this world willingly...
Switching Position to the Front
- We cling so pathetically to life. Is it ego or id?
- It's you or me. Either works.
- Why endure this world? We all have a choice.
Switching Position to the Back
- There is no "honor." You only seek to forestall shame.
- Keep your pride. I'll have no part in it.
- Foolishness! There is no glory! It is a construct!
Passing Turn
- (giggles, sobs)
- What hogwash, this need to "live."

- (chuckle) You WANT more misery? You sadist! TORTURER!
Refusing to Use Item
- Why save an old maniac, of no use to anyone?
- Just leave me here. I know you would relish my death.
Refusing to Get Healed
- No. One fewer soul will do the world some good.
- Go. You don't want me around anyway.
- Save your arts for someone with a spark of hope.
Refusing to Get Buffed
- Like the rest of this world, I deserve nothing.
- Your lot is suffering indeed if I am worthy of aid.
- Pfft. I would rather be done with the lot of you.
Refusing to Perform Camping Skills
- A fool's errand, that.
- Truly, our hubris knows no bounds... and we shall suffer for it.
- What a sham, this expedition... What tomfoolery.
Refusing to be Target of Camping Skills
- And live to suffer another day? What a cruel joke.
- Bah. All this charity is making me ill.
