If Not Playing as Alarak[]

Intro[]

Intro 1

Ji'nara: I am Ji'nara, First Ascendant of the Tal'darim. One of Amon's remaining loyalists has dared to challenge me to Rak'Shir.

Ji’nara: He seeks to climb the Chain and become Highlord. Keep your armies close to me. With their psionic support, I will end his ascent.

Intro 2

Ji’nara: The rite of Rak'Shir will soon begin. Amon's loyalists seek to regain control of the Tal'darim by climbing the Chain of Ascension.

Ji’nara: As First Ascendant, I will exterminate these traitors. Both of your armies must stand with me to provide their psionic support.

Intro 3

Ji’nara: I am First Ascendant Ji'nara, and I have been challenged to Rak'Shir by a faction of Tal'darim who foolishly remain loyal to Amon.

Ji’nara: The Dark God bolsters their champion's strength. Send both of your armies to my side to bolster mine. I will emerge victorious.

Tug of War Mechanics[]

One Player Supports Ji'nara

Ji’nara: Both of you must support me. Send your armies to me at once.

Ji’nara: You must position both of your armies nearby in order to support me.

Ji’nara: Only one army? That is not enough! Both of your armies must stand near me to offer their support.

Ji’nara: I thought there were two of you in this fight. I expect support from both. Send your armies to my side.

Ji’nara: Both of your armies must support me, commanders. No half measures. Move them near me at once.

Both Players Support Ji'nara

Ji’nara: Yes, your power courses through me. Soon, Amon's champion will fall into the abyss.

Ji’nara: The power you offer me will be the end of these fools. Maintaining this support is your primary objective.

Ji’nara: Now that I have your support, I can slay this traitorous filth.

Ji’nara: Excellent. With your assistance, I will put an end to this reckless insubordination.

Ji’nara: The support from your armies will prove useful. Your objective is to continue providing it.

Enemy En Route to Ji'nara

Ji’nara: Amon sends reinforcements to support his champion. Prepare to meet them in combat.

Ji’nara: It seems Amon's lackeys are moving toward their champion. Intercept them.

Ji’nara: The enemy is sending forces to support their champion. Match their strength.

Ji’nara: Enemy supplicants are headed toward their champion. Kill them all.

Ji’nara: A group of enemies seeks to support Amon's champion. Do not allow that to happen.

Enemy Contesting Ji'nara

Ji’nara: Amon's champion draws power from his supplicants. Eliminate them.

Ji’nara: Enemy forces are supporting their champion psionically. They must be destroyed.

Ji’nara: The enemy is providing their champion with psionic support. You must deny him their aid.

Ji’nara: These traitors are seething with Amon's power. Slay them so they cannot support their champion.

Ji’nara: Amon's worshipers are augmenting their champion's power. Do not allow this to continue.

Enemy Challengers Eliminated

Ji’nara: You have slain the enemy champion's supplicants and taken away his support. Admirable brutality.

Ji’nara: The enemy's supplicants have been annihilated. Such is the fate of all who kneel to Amon.

Ji’nara: What fools, to think they can seize control of the Tal'darim. When Alarak's rule ends, it will be my doing, and mine alone.

Ji’nara: The Tal'darim will not fall back into Amon's grasp. These traitors will be cut from the chain.

Ji’nara: Ascension is only for the worthy. Amon's pitiful lackeys hardly qualify.

Supporting Armies Wiped Out

Ji’nara: Your armies have been routed. You must replace them without delay, before I lose too much ground.

Ji’nara: Amon's forces have eradicated your armies and taken away my support. Provide me with more.

Ji’nara: Is this the best your armies can offer? The enemy has torn them apart. Send more to my side immediately.

Ji’nara: These losses are unacceptable. You must not allow Amon's champion to remain uncontested.

Ji’nara: You have underestimated Amon's strength. Do not do so again. Commit additional forces at once.

Reminder to Support Ji'nara

Ji’nara: You must send your armies to support me so I can decimate this rebellion.

Ji’nara: I require supplicants if I am to quell this uprising. Do not delay in sending me your armies.

Ji’nara: Position both of your armies nearby to grant me power. I will need them in order to win Rak'Shir.

Ji’nara: I will not allow Amon's champion to prevail. Send your armies to me at once!

Ji’nara: I did not call upon you for idle chatter. The psionic support from your armies is the key to my victory. Move them near me now.

Hybrid Contesting Ji'nara

Ji’nara: Amon's hybrids are greatly enhancing his champion's strength. They must be eliminated immediately!

Ji’nara: These hybrids possess immense psionic power. Destroy them, or that power will belong to their champion!

Ji’nara: Massive psionic power flows into Amon's champion from the hybrids. Slay them quickly!

Ji’nara: Psionic support from the hybrids turns the tide in Amon's favor. Put an end to it, now!

Ji’nara: Hybrids... I cannot stand against them for long. Kill them before I am overwhelmed!

Progress Update[]

50% Toward Victory

Ji’nara: Amon's champion is losing ground. It won't be long before he falls to his doom.

Ji’nara: Your support is proving effective. The enemy champion cannot hope to overcome it.

Ji’nara: I am overwhelming the enemy champion. Continue to pledge your power to me.

75% Toward Victory

Ji’nara: These rebels have an entrenched position up ahead. You must destroy their encampment if I am to end this farce.

Ji’nara: It seems the enemy has established fortifications on the path to the pit. Be prepared to set them ablaze.

Ji’nara: An enemy base stands in the way of my victory. Tear it down and grind the rubble into dust.

Victory Imminent

Ji’nara: Oblivion awaits Amon's minions. Maintain your psionic support and I shall deliver them unto it.

Ji’nara: The hour is nearly at hand. Keep your armies close to me, so that I might strike the killing blow.

Ji’nara: It is time to conclude this duel. Give me your power. I will rip Amon's champion apart.

50% Toward Defeat

Ji’nara: I am losing ground. Send me support immediately, unless you wish to lose the Tal'darim to Amon.

Ji’nara: Amon grants his champion unnatural strength. I must siphon power from your armies if I am to regain the ground I have lost.

Ji’nara: You have allowed Amon's champion to gain considerable ground. Correct this error!

75% Toward Defeat

Ji’nara: I am nearly upon the pit of sacrifice. Push back against Amon's champion soon, or lose the Tal'darim!

Ji’nara: Amon's champion has advanced within sight of the pit. This cannot stand! Match his strength before he succeeds!

Ji’nara: Are you here to aid me in this rite or not? I have nearly fallen back to the pit!

Defeat Imminent

Ji’nara: Support me with your armies now, or I will cross the edge of the pit!

Ji’nara: Send your armies to me immediately! All is nearly lost!

Ji’nara: Amon's champion is moments away from victory! If I am thrown into that pit, I am taking you with me!

Bonus Objective[]

First Elemental Located

Ji’nara: The elementals of Slayn may interfere with Rak'Shir if they wander too close to us. Slaughter them, if possible.

Ji’nara: I sense several elementals nearby. Their psionic bleating is distracting me. Silence them, if you have the forces to spare.

Ji’nara: These lumbering elementals have always irritated me. Wipe them out, if your armies are strong enough to be divided.

Second Elemental Located

Ji’nara: Is there no end to this elemental vermin? Crush this one if you can spare the warriors to do so.

Ji’nara: Yet another elemental has wandered onto the field of battle. Deal with it, if you can.

Ji’nara: I hate these detestable elementals. Eliminate them if you have the strength to spare.

Coccoon Warning

Ji’nara: The elemental has encased one of your warriors in a cocoon. I suggest you break them out before they are devoured.

Ji’nara: One of your warriors seems to have been encased in the elemental's cocoon. Will you break them out, or leave them to die?

Ji’nara: How amusing. One of your warriors is trapped in the elemental's cocoon. How long can they survive without you breaking them out?

Elemental Killed

Ji’nara: Such troublesome creatures. Slay the last one when you have the chance.

Both Elementals Killed

Ji’nara: All of the elementals have been eradicated. Now return your full attention to Rak'Shir.

Ji’nara: One day, I will render those elementals extinct. But for now, let us focus our efforts on the task at hand.

Ji’nara: You have destroyed all of the elementals in the surrounding area. Your penchant for violence is impressive.

Elemental Reminder

Ji’nara: The elemental will not linger here for long. Do not tarry if you wish to destroy it.

Ji’nara: I can sense the elemental's unrest. Slay it before it scurries away to breed.

Ji’nara: The elemental will soon depart. I shall be glad to be rid of it, but I would prefer you kill it instead.

Ji’nara: It won't be long before that elemental leaves this place. I'd like to see it torn apart before that happens.

Ji’nara: You don't have long before the elemental escapes. Exterminate that pest before it does.

Elemental Escaped

Ji’nara: It seems the elemental has slipped through your fingers. A shame.

Ji’nara: That elemental remains free to roam Slayn. No matter. Its death is inevitable.

Ji’nara: So, you were unable to slay the elemental. I will deal with it myself after Rak'shir.

Defeat[]

Ji’nara: No! This cannot be! I am the First Ascendant! I... [screams]

Ji’nara:You have doomed the Tal'darim, commanders! I will haunt you for all eternity! Do you hear me!?

Victory[]

Ji’nara: Victory is mine. You make for effective supplicants, commanders. I will remember that when I challenge Alarak to Rak'shir myself.

Ji’nara: And so ends Rak'Shir. What a pathetic display. When the day comes, I hope Alarak proves to be a more fitting challenge.

Ji’nara: Let this be a lesson to all who dare to challenge me. Commanders, I commend your strength in battle.

Cut Lines[]

Ji’nara: I see you have slain one of the elementals. Two more remain.

Ji’nara: These elementals have always been a nuisance. Exterminate the remaining two.

Ji’nara: The first beast is dead. Kill the other two as well.

Ji’nara: Another elemental vanquished. Only one remains.

Ji’nara: Two elementals have met their demise. See to it that the third one joins them.

If Playing as Alarak[]

Intro[]

Intro 1

Ji’nara: Highlord, Amon's followers linger within our ranks. Their champion has challenged me to Rak'shir in order to usurp the Tal'darim.

Ji’nara: This insubordination must be punished. I will require psionic support from both your supplicants as well as your partner's army.

Intro 2

Ji’nara: Highlord Alarak. An ascendant who remains loyal to Amon has challenged me to Rak'shir. We must stand together to crush him.

Ji’nara: Psionic support from both you and your ally would make me unbeatable. Declare for me, and we will obliterate this traitor.

Intro 3

Ji’nara: The Tal'darim are at odds with each other, Highlord. A faction of Amon worshipers seeks to stage a coup via the rite of Rak'shir.

Ji’nara: We both know this cannot stand. I must win this challenge, and to do that I need both you and your ally to support me psionically.

Tug of War Mechanics[]

One Player Supports Ji'nara

Ji’nara: It will take more than one army's power for me to overcome this challenger, Highlord. You must both commit your forces to me.

Ji’nara: Is there some reason only one army is offering me support? If you allow me to fail here, they will challenge you next, Highlord.

Ji’nara: Without support from both armies, I will be unable to defeat this challenger. It's in your interest to assure my victory, Alarak.

Ji’nara: Despite your confidence in my abilities, I must remind you that I require psionic support from both armies in order to win.

Ji’nara: Alarak, you know better than anyone the importance of psionic support when challenged to Rak'shir. Both armies must provide it.

Both Players Support Ji'nara

Ji’nara: I see your blades have not dulled since becoming Highlord. I will remember that.

Ji’nara: Your battlefield tactics are impressive, Alarak. I have ascertained much from observing them. Much indeed.

Ji’nara: You've broken the enemy's support. It cost you a few warriors, but no doubt you'll manage.

Ji’nara: The enemy has made a grievous error. Their champion has lost his support.

Ji’nara: A bold stratagem, Alarak. Brutally efficient at eliminating the enemy.

Supporting Armies Wiped Out

Ji’nara: Amon's forces have wiped out your army, Highlord. Remember that the Chain of Ascension is only as strong as its weakest link.

Ji’nara: I know this is not the full extent of your power, Alarak. Send me your best if you wish to maintain order within the Tal'darim.

Ji’nara: It seems you've underestimated your opponent. I will keep that tendency in mind. But for now, I require reinforcements.

Ji’nara: Your warriors have faltered, Alarak. I do pray this is not a common occurrence. Devote more of them to my support.

Ji’nara: Has your strength waned since your ascension? Or are you trying to eliminate me as well? Win this fight, or lose the Tal'darim.

Reminder to Support Ji'nara

Ji’nara: I did not inform you of this challenge so you could spectate, Alarak. I require psionic support from your army.

Ji’nara: Highlord, I must be victorious if you are to keep hold of the Tal'darim. Send your forces to support me without delay.

Ji’nara: Now is not the time to test my strength. Pledge your forces to my cause before it is too late.

Ji’nara: You know how this works, Alarak. I need supplicants in order to win this challenge. Send them to me.

Ji’nara: Need I remind you that your objective is to support me? If you wish to see me thrown into the pit, then do it yourself.

Progress Update[]

50% Toward Defeat

Ji’nara: I am losing ground, Highlord. You and your ally must support me, unless you wish your command to be usurped.

Ji’nara: I expected more from you than this, Alarak. Are you intentionally holding back? Send me support so I can regain lost ground.

Ji’nara: The tide turns against me, Highlord. If you do not intervene with additional support, it will erode your rule as well.

75% Toward Defeat

Ji’nara: Highlord, I am nearly upon the pit of sacrifice. You must support me now, or Amon will be poised to conquer the Tal'darim anew!

Ji’nara: I am within sight of the pit, Alarak. Support me now! I must not be defeated here!

Ji’nara: Is this the best the mighty Alarak can muster? If I lose here, the entire chain will belong to Amon once again!

Defeat Imminent

Ji’nara: Was Artanis's support during your own Rak'shir this ineffective? Do something, before Amon's champion wins!

Ji’nara: I am inches away from the pit! What are you playing at, Alarak? Do you want this insurrection to succeed?

Ji’nara: Aid me now, Highlord, or forfeit the Tal'darim to Amon!

Defeat[]

Ji’nara: Curse you, Alarak! Was this your plan all along? You have doomed us all, you fool! Amon will come for you next!

Ji’nara: You have failed, Highlord! All those incessant machinations, and for what? You have lost the Tal'darim!

Victory[]

Ji'nara: Your rule of the Tal'darim holds for another day, Highlord. It seems the time for leadership to change is not yet upon us.

Ji'nara: An impressive display, Alarak. Fear not, I have no intention of challenging you myself. Today.

Ji'nara: My gratitude for your declaration in my favor, Highlord. It was... enlightening to see your tactics in practice.
