Hello, lowlander.{^n}{^n}I hope your allies find it in their hearts to help me.
Perhaps.
Farewell
Just leave me alone...
Alright.
What are you doing in my house?{^n}{^n}Just...get out...
Sorry for barging in.
I'll leave you be.
Do I dare to hope?
I have something in mind.
You mean I can be cured?
I'm sure of it.
You will definitely feel different.
Stay put. I got this.
If you can convince Lenoryth to remove this curse, I don't even know how I could repay you.
I spoke with her.
And?! What did she say?
She told me a very different story.
I'm telling you, that woman's been tormented by spirits.{^n}{^n}She has an unhinged grudge against me.
One of you is definitely lying.
I don't like these accusations.{^n}{^n}I'm the one living in squalor while she is cozying up in Kurnhold.

Fair enough.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
I'll sort this out with Kryn.
I will figure this out.
I'm going to see her grandmother next.
Kryn?{^n}{^n}What does she have to do with it?
She may be able to break the curse.
I'm not going to question it. Anything to be free of this existence.
Lenoryth had a very different story.
I will figure this out.
Lenoryth had a very different explanation.
Don't worry. I'll deal with this curse.
I'm working on it.
If you can convince Lenoryth to remove this curse, I don't even know how I could repay you.
Where is Lenoryth again?
I can't get anywhere near her anymore.{^n}{^n}She resides in Kurnhold, I'm sure of it.
Got it.
I'll try.
What are you doing in my house?{^n}{^n}I've got enough troubles as it is.{^n}{^n}Just...get out...
Why is it so cold around you?
Oh, noticed have you? I'll have you know it's a curse.

Forget I asked.
Nevermind.
Tell me about them.
By the gods, do you often just go into people's homes uninvited and ask how their day was?
Figured I'd ask.
You're not from these parts, are you? I'm sure you're wondering about the cold.{^n}{^n}No, it's not my personality. I'll have you know I've been dealing with this dreaded curse for years now.
A curse?
It was my wife, Lenoryth. Ex-wife now.{^n}{^n}Neither of us wanted the marriage, but it was arranged by our parents. Lenoryth always seemed a bit unstable, but my family was poor and my father believed marriage would do me good. Shows what he knew.{^n}{^n}I figured we would not be a match, but I never took her for a hag. After our wedding, she bewitched my dog into a deer and chased him away. When I insisted she turn him back, she became violent and stormed out into a blizzard, one of the worst storms I've seen in years. I can still hear her chilling words carried upon the wind: may you be forever lost in the cold and dark.
I know many curses, maybe I can help.
You do? Then please help me!{^n}{^n}Speak to Lenoryth on my behalf. Maybe a fellow [[ms]warlock[fs]witch] can get through to her.{^n}{^n}I know she lives in Kurnhold, but I can't even get near the beloved city without my hands turning to ice.
I'll see what I can do.
Sorry, I can't.
How awful. Can I help?
You would do that? For a complete stranger?{^n}{^n}I've come to accept this curse would be with me forever. I know Lenoryth now lives in Kurnhold, but I can't even get near the beloved city without my hands turning to ice.{^n}{^n}Please, speak to her on my behalf. I doubt she even remembers me anymore. Maybe she will take mercy and remove this dreaded curse.
I'll see what I can do.
Sorry, I can't.
Uhuh, sure.
You asked.{^n}{^n}I'm just telling you what happened.
I'm sorry, can I help?

Not buying it. Goodbye!
Ok, bye now.
Forget it.
Yes.

*Maldurf blinks*{^n}{^n}Well, alright. Uh, suppose you're wondering about the frost?{^n}{^n}No, it's not my personality. I'll have you know I've been dealing with this dreaded curse for years now.

Forget it.
You're right. I'll go.
Well sorry for asking!
Sorry for barging in.
I'll leave you be.
