Before fighting the NPC:

With so much activity, we've little time to train. Would you be willing to spar with me?

What do I need to do?

Just fight me as you would any hostile creature. Experience can only be gained by doing.

Sure, I'll spar with you. (Same as "Sure, I'll help you train." below)

I'd rather not fight you.

Sure, I'll help you train.

Prepare yourself. I won't hold back.

Let's get started.

I don't really have time.

Without more training, I fear that I will not be able to stand against the undead. Will you help me spar?

What do you need me to do?

Fight me as though your life depends on it. I must know what true battle is like.

I'll[sic] will gladly fight you. (Same as "Sure, I'll help." below)

I'd rather not fight right now.

Sure, I'll help.

Don't hold back.

I'm ready.

I don't have time for this.

After fighting the NPC:

Thank you for the help training. It's clear I have much more to learn.

You're welcome.

Kessex Hills

At Shadowheart Site

(cough) This swamp, it wilts the spirit. I need some fresh water but I can't leave my post.

I'll see what I can do.

At Shadowheart Site

I can feel the swamp waters seeping in. This whole place is diseased. If only I could leave my post I could cleanse myself of this stench.

I'll see what I can do.

Sparkfly Fen

At Dryground Village

(Before sparring)

You're soft around the edges, but I could get some good practice in on you. Want to spar?

Since you put it like that, yeah.

Not a chance.

(After sparring)

My legs are still shaking from that last match. Give me time to recover. We can spar later, if you want.

Later, then. Bye.

At Jinotl Deadgrounds

I'm surprised by how many hylek have rallied to the cause, though I probably shouldn't be. They don't have much more to lose. Most are refugees from undead invasions or local residents defending their homes.

They live in the area?

Some of those who have villages farther away are still holding onto them. But most of the local hylek have lost their homes, as well, and they're fighting for a chance to rebuild.

Are they competent fighters?

Quite. It's comforting to know that they're on our side. I truly think our forces here will benefit from having such a varied composition.

Let's hope so.

I see.

Interesting. Good-bye.

Upon dousing a Warden Shield with Swamp Sickness

I'm grateful.
