Head of Vengarl

Description

---

The better half of Vengarl of Forossa, a towering killer infamous enough to murder his way to the top in a country full of cutthroats. After some unknowable incident in the witchtree forest separated Vengarl from his body, the latter stomped off on its own to continue the carnage.

After untold years of sitting motionless in a pile of skulls, Vengarl found contentment and now provides good advice on Drangleic.

• First Encounter
  1. Leave me be.
     I like it quiet. Leave me be.
  2. What business have you here, traveller?
     You may call me Vengarl. If I deserve a name, in this sorry state.
     Tis rare to flap these gums. This is pleasant.
  3. Long ago, I was hired to defend the kingdom.
     I remember a long, brutal fight, and then… Somebody killed me. Or so I thought…
     I came to, and found myself like this.
     I don't know what explains it, but it's not so bad, really.
     And now I watch the days go by, and gaze at the night sky, thinking of the finer things, far removed from war.
     I'd grown weary of battle, but did not realise it until now.
  4. I know not what brings you on this journey, nor will I deign to ask.
     You may bear a great burden, but don't we all? I prefer to stay my distance.
     But I want to warn you of something. My body.
     I see visions; my body, headless, raging without me.
     My body, wielding my sword, a sword forged only to kill.
     My body will show no mercy. If you see the wretched thing, stay far away.
  5. I learn new things every day. Things never learned in battle.
     And, thanks to you, I've recalled the joy of conversation.
     If I can help you, if you require something, do speak up.

• Using the talk option
  1. I cannot lie. Sometimes I wonder what's become of the kingdom.
     I was a hired hand, yes, but we soldiers stared death in the eye together.
     And for His Highness…I am afraid…
     But, perhaps it is for the best. We knew not what we fought for.
  2. I was born in Forossa. It's a land in the distant east.
     When I was born, we were already mired in prolonged conflict with our neighbours.
     Eventually, our kingdom fell, and our people scattered.
     I've been a sellsword ever since.
     All I ever knew was war, and I can imagine no other way to live.
     What a fool I was.
  3. I am grateful for these peaceful days.
     But such contentment lies only in the here and now.
     Why must life be so confounding…
  4. Thank you, for lending an ear to my ramblings.
     Here, take these. I have no use for them.
     Go along, and resume your journey.

• After defeating his body
  Ah, it was you, who vanquished my body.
  It is my body, you see, and I can sense what happens to it.
  I do not mourn for it. Good riddance!
  If you wish for help, summon me. I am rusty in battle, but will fight by your side.

• Meeting again
  Back again? Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

• Leaving without using his services
  Farewell. I will retire to my silence.

• Leaving after using his services
  Farewell. May we meet again, one day soon.

• Leaving without exiting the menu
  Safe travels, then…

• When attacking
  How dare you!
  You fiend!
  A murderer now, are we?
  As you wish. (HP below 50%)

• When returning after aggroed
  There you are…!

• When killed by player
  Life goes on…
