During the quest

YuriaNothing left to take. As you can see, we've already been picked clean.
YouWhat happened?
YuriaOrcs ambushed us. I thought the Dark Blades were all we had to worry about... Didn't see that coming. Somehow, I was the only one left behind alive. Been stuck here ever since... I've lost track of how many days it's been.
YouWhy're you still here? You should get somewhere safe.
YuriaI know I should move on. I do... But I saw Adrio being dragged away. If they wanted him dead, they would've killed him here. So why take him alive? They must want something from him. And as long as there's a chance he's alive... I can't just leave.
YouDo you know where they took him?
YuriaIt's just up ahead. Looks like the orcs have a stronghold further in. If you're heading in...just find out if Adrio's alive. Please.
Adrio...You're no orc. Hah. First I started hearing things, and now I'm seeing them too.
YouAre you alright?
AdrioBut no...you're real. And I still have the King's Seal. Perhaps I'm meant to make it out of here after all. Then help me. Whatever happens, this seal has to leave this place with us.
YouIs it important?
AdrioWe call it the King's Seal. The orcs call it the Blood Seal. There is a legend that goes, the one bound by blood shall rule through strength.
YouThen how did you get your hands on it?
AdrioThe orcs have no written language, and barely speak our tongue. To them, the seal was nothing but a scrap of metal. They simply tossed it aside. Their mistake. I managed to retrieve it without them noticing.
YouYou should get out of here before things get worse.
AdrioGetting out, however, is another matter. Even if we make it past the others, there's still Bashen, their chieftain. He's no fool. The moment he realizes I'm gone, he'll come after me.
YouI'll take care of Bashen.
Adrio... I've no right to ask more of you, but I believe you can handle him. Will you? I'll follow once I see an opening. Don't wait for me...go on ahead.
AdrioThank you. I should have said that first. Had you not come, I doubt I would've made it out of there alive. ... The King's Seal is safe as well, thanks to you. At least we managed to get it out.
YouAre you hurt?
AdrioAnd I still have all my fingers... Not bad, considering. I'm told a coachman I'd never even met stayed behind waiting for me, too. Seems I can't give up just yet. ... We should be going. I've seen quite enough of this place.
YouTake care of yourself.
AdrioSafe travels, my friend. Wherever the road takes you. I mean that.
Yuria... Nothing yet? Sorry, I'm not trying to rush you. Just...wondering.
