Ambient dialogue

Snikk: Now! Run!

Snikk: Be quiet. These are the crooks I was telling you about.

Scratch: Eep!

Lookout: Hey! You kids! Get away from there!

Snikk: Gah! Run!

Snikk: You okay? That was so close!

Scratch: Yeah. Good good. You see his stupid sylvari face?

Scratch: (Snicker!)

Snikk: (Laugh!)

Snikk: Let's go see if the new nanny has any food.

Edda: This is the route I wanted to show you.

Edda: If you spot any Lionguard sniffing around, let me know immediately.

Melydiod: Will do.

Edda: The client wants delivery as soon as possible, and they're paying top dollar for the anonymity.

Melydiod: Good.

Edda: I almost forgot. We're raising the price since they became so rare after the shipwreck.

Melydiod: Okay.

Edda: Are you getting all this?

Melydiod: Yes ma'am.

Edda: Alright, let's go.

Lionguard (1): Look sharp. We've had more reports of travelers smuggling goods through this fort.

Lionguard (1): We need to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious.

Lionguard (2): We're on it.

Lionguard (3): Yes, sir!

Lionguard (4): You can count on us.

Villager (human): This city is amazing! I talked to a charr, I saw a sylvari talking to a norn...

Villager (charr): Relax, hayseed. That stuff happens every day.

Villager (asura): Settle down! Next you'll be telling us about the special mote of dust you found.

Hunter (1): I drank three asura under the table yesterday.

Hunter (2): Big deal. Your cheeks hold more ale than all their bellies combined.

Hunter (2): Do you know where I can find some floral perfume?

Hunter (1): What? All of a sudden you care how you smell?

Hunter (2): Shut up. I'm trying to impress this sylvari I work with.

Citizen (1): This area was perfect before all these lowlifes started moving in.

Citizen (2): Someday we'll be able to afford a place in the city.

Citizen (1): Hey. C'mere. I got somethin' for you.

Citizen (2): Talk to me.

[Citizen 1 leads Citizen 2 off the road to a Pack Marmox]

Citizen (2): You've got to be kidding me.

Citizen (1): Keep your voice down, skritt-munch.

Citizen (2): Don't insult my intelligence. Take that trash to the skritt. They'll trade for anything.

Citizen (1): (growl)

Lionguard: Do you ever stop training?

Suriel the Blazing Light: Nope!

Resident: Hi there.

Ember Doomforge: Welcome to the Guild Initiative Headquarters! Come in, we'll get you registered.

Ember Doomforge: Got a guild? Want to be a legend? Step inside; your journey starts here!

Ember Doomforge: Think your guild's the greatest? C'mon and prove it!

At the Lion's Shadow Bed and Breakfast

Messenger: Hey. Word is that the shipment's on schedule. You ready?

Door Guard Eian: We will be. Put extra spotters out an hour before. Tell them to stay in the shadows.

Messenger: You got it.

Door Guard Eian: Any sign of the missing dolyak?

Messenger: Not yet. We've got teams out looking for it.

Door Guard Eian: If you find the ones who stole it, I don't want to see them.

Messenger: Aye, sir.

Door Guard Eian: I don't want anyone to see them...ever again.

Messenger: Understood.

Door Guard Eian: We better find that dolyak. It's loaded up.

Messenger: They found the dolyak. It was the skritt.

Door Guard Eian: You gotta be kidding me. The skritt are getting out of control.

Messenger: Don't worry. We handled it.

Door Guard Eian: Let's hope that sends a message.

Messenger: We made sure of it.

Door Guard Eian: Put some shadows on the skritt. I want to know everything they're up to.

Messenger: You want hourly or daily reports?

Door Guard Eian: Daily for now. I want to know what they're smuggling and to whom.

Messenger: I'll put my best folks on it.

Lionguard Ambrose: Aela, I need to talk to you.

Door Guard Eian: She's doing business. You talk to me. You don't talk to her.

Lionguard Ambrose: I need more money.

Door Guard Eian: Keep your voice down.

Lionguard Ambrose: They're doing sweeps. Ashblade is causing a stir.

Lionguard Ambrose: I don't know how much longer I can—

Door Guard Eian: The day you snitch is the day you die.

Lionguard Ambrose: I understand, but... just think about it. I'm taking a big risk here.

Door Guard Eian: No deal.

Lionguard Ambrose: But...

Door Guard Eian: I said no. Now move along.

Door Guard Eian: Get out of here, Ambrose. You're scaring customers away.

Lionguard Ambrose: Right, yeah. Sorry. I'm going.

Barkeeper Tin-Eye: All right, that's it for tonight! Everyone out!

Notes

Anomaly:

Despite its name, Eastern Ward Waypoint is located here instead of in Eastern Ward.

• There was once a zone exit here to Gendarran Fields, but when Scarlet Briar attacked Lion's Arch, the pathway was sealed off by boulders. The passage was never reopened after the attack. It can still be somewhat seen at the  Eastern Ward Waypoint — .
