Online:Guard Dialogue/Dark Elf

When they catch a criminal, Dark Elf guards will have various things to say. Depending on the choice you make, you will also overhear them comment on said choice:

Female DunmerEdit

If alerted, they'll call for you to stop where you are.

"You will stop, criminal!"

"Hold it, s'wit!"

"Hold, scum!"

"Halt, damn you!"

They'll accost you when they catch up to you.

"If it were up to me, we'd dispense with this bounty business and kill the lot of you."

"By the Three, my rights and duties. Ha! Right now my right and duty is to squeeze you for gold."

"I don't suppose it's your fault. I suppose your parents simply didn't teach you any better."

"This place was nice until the likes of you came along. Pay up."

"The criminal element is irredeemable. But I'm still required to collect your bounty."

"Your bounty now, if you please."

"Pay your bounty and you can go about your business."

"I have a poem for you: What oh what will the criminal do? Pay the bounty or get run-through?"

"You owe a fine. Will you pay?"

"There's nothing I'd like more than to gut you, but I'm supposed to ask you to pay your bounty."

"The law demands recompense for your criminal acts."

"You are free to go, as soon as you pay your bounty."

"We can do this the pay-your-fine way or the tear-you-to-pieces way. Your pick."

"Here's what we do: pay your bounty, or I start cutting off important parts of your body."

"I've seen cliff-racers that are scarier than you. Pay the bounty."

"You owe a bounty and I'm here to collect."

"Pay the bounty…if scum like you even has that kind of money."

"Lawbreakers like you make me sick. Pay the bounty and get out of my sight."

"Oh, good. Another criminal. Which will it be? The bounty or my weapon in your ribs?"

"Pay your bounty and we'll have no trouble."

"You can pay the bounty or fight, and I love to fight."

"The criminals around here used to have class. Now it's all dirt and bloodstains."

"You pay your bounty, or we find out what kind of pattern your blood makes when it hits the ground."

"I've met a lot of criminals, but you don't have the look. I have no idea why your name is on my list."

"You don't look like you can afford to pay your bounty. No way you have enough gold."

"You're a criminal? Really? I don't think so. Still, if you insist on paying a bounty, I'll accept it."

"What's that? You owe a bounty? Not you! I don't believe it. But if you insist, I'll take your gold."

"Innocent? Everyone says that. You know the next best thing? Paying your bounty!"

"If you're a criminal, then I'm an Argonian's uncle! But I'll take your bounty if it will make you happy."

"Everybody wants to pay me a bounty. It must be my face. It has that 'you can trust me' quality."

"If you were a real criminal, I don't suppose I would've caught you. You still need to pay me, though."

"We can sweep all this down the kwama hole for the right price…."

"The Tribunal is just and forgiving. I am not the Tribunal. Gold. Now."

"Going to give me a sour look, ay? Well the cost just went up. Cough it up, s'wit!"

"Dragging your feet isn't going to make this easier, f'lah. I've got all the time in the world."

"I'm not surprised you turned out to be a criminal."

"This place was nice until the likes of you came along. Pay up."

"Want to get rich, huh? You picked the wrong profession. Law enforcement's where the gold is. Your gold."

"What audacity! What utter gall! I'll have no more it. Just pay your fine and be gone!"

"It's not that I'm above bribery ... it's that I don't like you. Pay the bounty or else."

"Crime only pays if I get a cut, s'wit. Remember that for next time."

"I really hope this goes easily. I'd prefer not to kill you today. So, what will it be? Easy or hard?"

"Can we hurry this up? I have a prior appointment and he hates it when I'm late."

"And once again a varlet has succumbed to the long arm of justice. Will you pay your fine?"

"Your crimes have caught up with you. It is time to pay your bounty."

"Criminals always prefer to deal with me. Probably because I'm pleasant to look at. Now pay up."

"There are laws and you have broken them. Now you must pay."

"You simpleminded reprobate! You must make recompense for your despicable crimes!"

If you pay your bounty, they'll be satisfied and let you go. The result is the same if you ask for clemency.

[Pay] Here's <payable bounty amount> gold and everything I've stolen. Clear my bounty.

"You paid? Surprising."

"Hmm. Pleasure doing business."

"This money's filthy!"

"I doubt you try anything like this again."

"Suppose you're free to go now."

[Clemency] I have powerful friends. My bounty has already been covered.

"Do not cross me again, varlet."

If you flee, the guard will utter an ambient line of dialogue before giving chase.

[Flee in <30> sec] I won't pay the bounty.

"Another runner! What did I expect?"

"I love a good chase!"

"Criminals are all cowards!"

"I will end you!"

"You defy the law for the last time!"

"I was hoping you would do that."

"You're not going anywhere!"

"I doubt you'll defeat me!"

"I suppose you're a criminal after all."

"Brave! Stupid! But brave!"

"You'll motivate me to violence, cur!"

"And now the inevitable will begin!"

"If you get blood on my boots, I'll kill you twice!"

"Have at thee, villain!"

"You should have submitted!"

Male DunmerEdit

If alerted, they'll call for you to stop where you are.

"Stop right there, s'wit!"

"Halt fetcher!"

"Stop right there, scum!"

"Not another step!"

They'll accost you when they catch up to you.

"By Almsivi, I'll have your bounty or I'll have your hide."

"One day I'll meet an outlaw who pays a bounty without complaint. Will this be the day?"

"Bah! All criminals are craven cowards and you're no different! Will you pay in gold or blood?"

"Another vagrant disgracing my streets. Typical. Just pay the bounty and move along."

"You have your crimes and I have my orders. Now pay up! I have more to do than just deal with you."

"I am in an ill temper, so just pay your bounty and be on your way."

"Criminals! So smart! Think they can get away with anything. Well, I'm here to tell you different."

"A dark day indeed when I have to deal with the likes of you. Pay your bounty and leave me be."

"Please, no explanations. I don't care why you did what you did. I just need you to pay your bounty."

"You aren't clever! The law found you and demands its due. Pay your fine or face the consequences."

"You owe a bounty. Don't even think of running. My knees aren't what they used to be."

"Almsivi knows your crimes…as do I. Pay up, s'wit."

"There's a bounty on your head and I'll see it paid in full. Might even bring a smile to my face."

"Wait, you're not who I…. No matter, turns out there's a bounty on your head as well. Pay up, then."

"I understand the appeal of a life of crime. So many good memories. But I learned to pay my bounty. Have you?"

"Please! Don't attack. I'm just doing my job. Can you give me your bounty and let this go?"

"This must be some dark plane of Oblivion where I must endlessly confront filth. Your bounty, please."

"Yet another useless s'wit of a criminal to waste my time. Give me the bounty and go."

"If it was up to me, I'd just have criminal filth like you killed on sight. It'd be less of a hassle."

"I dare you––just give me an excuse and I'll bash your ugly teeth into the back of your head."

"I don't know if I can do this guard job. My heart is pounding! I don't like confronting people."

"The bounty is an opportunity for you to set yourself right with me and with the gods."

"Just my luck, bumping into the likes of you. Know what this means? Just more dung to deal with."

"Anyone who says crime doesn't pay hasn't me in action. My deals with criminals always turn a profit!"

"Another fetcher? How many of you are there? Let's get it over with. Hand over your bounty."

"I hope you realize that I have better things to do. Please. Let's make this fast and easy."

"Oh, Dumac take you! I can't tell you how this grates on my patience. Pay your bounty and begone!"

"If I had a gold piece for every lowlife I had to deal with, I'd be rich. I'll settle for the bounty."

"Maybe your small mind can understand if I speak slowly ... I'm here to collect your bounty."

"It's a travesty that criminals walk free instead of being kept as slaves. Ah, the old days. Now, your bounty?"

"You probably don't even have the gold, but I have to give you a chance to pay your bounty."

"Oh! Look what crawled up from the dung-heap—a pathetic criminal. I hope you can pay your bounty."

"You're just another lowlife fetcher who broke the law and got caught. Now you have to pay."

"Scum like you belongs on the bottom of my boot. Irks me just to look at you. Just pay and go."

"I think we should execute criminals on sight, but my captain won't allow it. He wants your bounty."

"I'm here to collect the bounty. For that unfortunate incident? Look, don't make me spell it out."

"This can't be right. You could never do that to a live guar. Going to strike that as an error…now, for the rest of your bounty."

"Freedom can be bought, but forgiveness must be earned, criminal."

"There's a bounty on your head and I'll see it paid in full. Might even bring a smile to my face."

"If my superiors weren't watching, we could deal with this in a different fashion. However…"

"You need to clear your record and I need to pay my rent, so turn over your bounty, if you please."

"The more you pay, the less I remember. See how this works?"

"This is your lucky day! Pay me your bounty and I'll make sure no one bothers you again."

"The crime you commit is your bondage. Pay the bounty and be free."

"The gods will have justice for your crimes, one way or the other."

"My orders are to collect your bounty. What happens after I take your gold is none of your concern."

"I can give you back your good name and clear your record…for a price."

"Your deeds are an affront to the gods! Pay the bounty or die."

"Stop in the name of the law! What? We have to say that. It's in the regulations."

"I have no choice but to follow orders. You? I have no idea why you decided to enter a life of crime."

"This notice says you owe a bounty for committing a crime. Pay up so I don't have to keep reading."

"By Almsivi, I'll have your bounty or I'll have your hide."

"Reflect on your actions. See how they burn at your soul. It is not the gold that costs."

"You could just hand over your bounty. No need to whine about it. That's how we'll do it, yes?"

"The Tribunal frowns on those who disrupt order. Pay the fine."

"I'm sure you've done this before so you know the drill. Pay your bounty and you're free to go."

"Look, I'm only asking because my captain will kill me if I don't. Can I collect your bounty please?"

If you pay your bounty, they'll be satisfied and let you go. The result is the same if you ask for clemency.

[Pay] Here's <payable bounty amount> gold and everything I've stolen. Clear my bounty.

"Begone from my sight."

"Another happy customer. Huzzah."

"Please, just obey the law for now on."

"Next time, commit your crimes elsewhere."

"I was hoping for more, but this will do."

"Almsivi be praised."

[Clemency] I have powerful friends. My bounty has already been covered.

"May the fear of the gods help you walk the right path."

"Go. But remember I'll be watching you, s'wit."

"Alright, I'll let you go. Just this once."

If you flee, the guard will utter an ambient line of dialogue before giving chase.

[Flee in <30> sec] I won't pay the bounty.

"Is this how you choose to die?"

"You brought this on your own head!"

"Did you not notice my foul mood?"

"Why do they always want to fight me?"

"I gave you a chance!"

"Why couldn't you take the deal?"

"Please don't hurt me!"

"You people make me mad!"

"Why do I always get the violent ones?"

"No, please! I want my mother!"

"Why do criminals never trust me?"

"You're hardly worth the effort."

"This should be easy!"

"I knew I of [sic] brought my other weapon."

"Gods have mercy on this fool!"

"Why do I always get the eager ones!"
