2575 @The_monster@ says, "I wanna be an adventurer, not a preacher!"
2577 @The_monster@ says, "What does Zin need our gold for, anyway?"
2579 @The_monster@ says, "Something seems a little bit odd about a God who wants to be paid."
2581 @The_monster@ says, "Most gods give gifts. Zin asks you to give gifts. I hate that."

2695 @The_monster@ says, "You can only wear one cloak at a time, you know?"
2702 @The_monster@ says, "At least you've got demons for company."
2704 @The_monster@ says, "Are you sure that summoning demons is a good idea?"
2706 @The_monster@ says, "Don't you ever wonder where those demons come from?"
2708 @The_monster@ says, "What's so minor about destruction?"

2760 @The_monster@ says, "You troglodyte!"
2762 @The_monster@ says, "I heard Trog has abandonment issues."
2764 @The_monster@ says, "I bet Trog's next axe will take you to the Abyss."
2766 @The_monster@ says, "I considered Trog, but the aftereffects of berserk scare me."
2768 @The_monster@ says, "Fainting that often must mean something's wrong, right?"
2770 @The_monster@ says, "I bet you wish you could cast spells now, right?"
2772 @The_monster@ says, "Are you sure you're allowed to read scrolls?"
2774 @The_monster@ says, "Hey, I thought wands weren't allowed!"

2803 @The_monster@ says, "I'm sure I saw a card fall out of that deck."
2805 @The_monster@ syas, "I've seen this trick before. You've got the ace up your sleeve, right?"

2814 @The_monster@ says, "Whatever happened to, 'First, do no harm'?"
2816 @The_monster@ says, "Hungry yet?"
2818 @The_monster@ says, "Doesn't healing your enemies sound rather pointless?"
2820 @The_monster@ says, "Maybe you should start praying."
2822 @The_monster@ says, "If I give you my weapon, will you leave me alone?"
2824 @The_monster@ says, "Come on. Make me an offer of peace that I can't refuse!"
2831 @The_monster@ says, "I'd pick a mace for blessing, if I were you."

2839 @The_monster@ says, "You must be some kind of masochist."
2841 @The_monster@ says, "Why would a God hurt you out of love? I hate that."

2864 @The_monster@ says, "Do you like preaching on mountaintops?"
2866 @The_monster@ says, "What is divine providence, anyway? I hate that."

2870 @The_monster@ says, "You think you're the Messiah? I met another guy who thought that, too."
2872 @The_monster@ says, "Messiah? I hate messiahs."
2879 @The_monster@ says, "Come slime with me!"
2881 @The_monster@ says, "You look a bit slimy."
