Dialogue

Hakgrym as a werewolf behemoth

Entering the arena:

Hakgrym the Howler: "You lost? No, I wager you're just where you want to be. Ha! Well, come on then!"

Idling before battle:

"I'm right here, runts. Any time you're ready."

"You going to make me wait?"

"The longer you make me wait, the sharper my swords get."

"You're right on time, runts. The lads here are starving!"

"I'll try to make this quick. Heh. No promises."

"I won't lie to you. This is going to hurt."

Entering battle:

"Ha! You have no idea what you're up against."

"Let's see what you've got!"

"Finally. I've been itching for a scrap!"

"We're going to do this, eh? All right, let's go!"

Using Reaping Scythe:

"Time for the harvest!"

"This is going to hurt!"

"You think you know pain? Ha!"

"Like grain before the scythe."

Summoning a Woeful Totem:

"This should keep you busy."

"Go fetch, mongrels!"

"This should liven things up a bit."

Using Curse Ground:

"You've got nowhere to run."

"Dance for me, eh?"

Releasing a flesh abomination:

"I knew these things would come in handy."

"Let's get these chains off you, eh? Time to play."

"You hungry, boy? Eh? 'Course you are. Go get them!"

"You're pretty good! I guess it's time to call in the muscle."

Turning into a werewolf:

"Enough appetizers. Time for the main course!"

"You've got me bleeding all right. Let me return the favor!"

"You want a real fight, eh? Here it comes!"

Group wipe:

"Too easy."

"Orkey's blood, I thought you'd give me a challenge! Too bad."

"Don't worry, I'll make good use of your corpses."

"What lies beyond the door? Ha! Guess you'll never know."

"Least you died in a graveyard, eh? Convenient."
