Quest-Related EventsEdit

Before you speak to Galerion's Stamina, he comments:

"You don't look like you belong in this awful place."

When you approach him to ask for the energy he was fed, he's still not overly friendly:

"I saw you eyeing my fire. It isn't very warm, but it's all we've got. Go find your own fire, stranger."
Will you give me the energy they fed to you?
"Why? You don't look like you need it. Without it, I'll grow weak and wither away. Wait, that's what you want to happen! You want to hurt me!"
[Persuade] This won't hurt you. If you give me the energy, it will help you.
"It … will? I don't know …. oh, all right. Take it. Take it and leave me alone!"
I need the energy to save a great mage.
"A great mage? A great mage is the reason I'm in this godsforsaken place!
I knew you were out to hurt me. Well, the Taskmaster gave me this energy and I'm going to keep it!"

After he gives you the energy, he wants nothing more to do with you.

"What else do you want from me? Blood? Bones?
You got what you wanted. Everything else I have is mine!"

After freeing Galerion's Stamina:

"You again? I knew you were up to no good! Get away from me before I call the guards!"
