81,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_NUHADEEN_000_088","I did. As I was going about my work, I was disturbed by crashing footsteps so powerful that the very ground shook."
82,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_NUHADEEN_000_089","I rushed outside, and could not believe what I beheld. The night sky was burning..."

89,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_110","So this is Thavnairian weave...I must say, it bears a resemblance to the traditional fabrics of Corvos. Small wonder, really, given that it's just across the water."
90,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_111","...Not that I am much of an expert in Corvosi culture, of course. I've not had the occasion to visit my ancestral home since coming to Sharlayan, and like as not I will never reside there again."
91,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_112","That said, in recent days I've felt more acutely aware of my heritage...and grateful for it. It is thanks to my forebears that I inherited the Royal Eye─and with it, the wisdom of ancient Allag."
92,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_113","And so...well, I simply hope that my countrymen are safe. And one day, when this calamity is but a memory, I would like to see Corvos again, if only once."
93,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_NUHADEEN_000_120","After toiling days and nights to fashion your allies' warding scales, a great number of our alchemists were granted a respite."
94,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_NUHADEEN_000_121","In part because of this, the damage here at the Crucible was limited. On the other hand, we have not heard from many who were at home during the attack. We can only pray that they are safe."

98,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_VARSRA_000_133","Afraid not, my friend. I was here the whole time, so I only saw its little minions. Made a mess of the place, they did."

100,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_135","...And with that, I do believe we've learned all we can from the bazaar. Let's take a moment to review our findings."
101,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_VARSRA_000_140","The beasts that attacked us here were scrawny little things, but they caused as much damage as that bigger one. Until the Radiant saw them off, it was all I could do to run for dear life..."

105,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_RAHDVIRA_000_153","F-First I heard the screams...then a horde of ravening beasts came charging towards us!"
106,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_RAHDVIRA_000_154","One of them was huge─bigger than a marid! Throwing people about like rag dolls...and it was <Emphasis>eating</Emphasis> them!"
107,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_RAHDVIRA_000_155","I hid. Under the counter. Saw others do the same."
108,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_RAHDVIRA_000_156","But the shrieking and wailing kept getting louder...more voices in the throng. Beasts or victims, I couldn't tell─I knew not what was happening. I still don't..."
109,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_157","That is enough, my good man. You were brave to share with us your tale. Many of your fellow merchants are safe. The High Crucible, too, has survived mostly unscathed. Pray stay close to your friends and loved ones, and rest your body and mind while you are able."
110,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_158","I suspect that is the most we can expect the people here to tell us. I think it best we find a place outside the bazaar where we might rest and review our findings."
111,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_RAHDVIRA_000_160","What nightmare is this... When will it end?"
112,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_ZEYTAHNUR_000_170","Is something the matter, traveler? If you are lost, perhaps I could be of assistance."

117,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_175","That is the extent of what we will learn here, I think. Shall we take a moment to consider our findings elsewhere?"
118,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_ZEYTAHNUR_000_180","Fortunate was I to be inside my shop at the time. The owner of the stall across from me was hawking his wares on the street. Suffice it to say, he wasn't so lucky..."
119,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_190","It might distress those still traumatized by the incident to discuss what we've learned within earshot..."
120,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_200","Judging by their accounts, the transformation had already occurred by the time the beast reached the bazaar."
121,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_GRAHATIA_000_201","It tore through the west side of the bazaar and headed towards the aetheryte plaza..."

127,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_CUSTOMER04410_000_223","It started over there, by the window. A few men, merchants, probably. Talking and drinking."

132,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_CUSTOMER04410_000_228","No, I'm a decorator by trade. Not much cause to mingle with their sort."

138,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_RHULMEIRA_000_243","I saw it, too. We all did. I was standing here at the counter as Mehryde poured me a drink, when suddenly there came this dreadful sound, like a pained, angry groan."
139,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_RHULMEIRA_000_244","It was unlike anything I've ever heard. I turned around in shock, and from an ominous cloud of black mist rose the creature, enormous and ghastly to behold."

141,"TEXT_AKTKMD102_04410_RHULMEIRA_000_246","But the sight that greeted me offered no solace─the blue sky above turned red as blood. Mehryde, myself, and the other survivors clung to each other for dear life until the Radiant Host came to our aid."
