Initial dialogue

 * Gate Guard Hollis
 * "Oh, I can tell you exactly where Duke Barradin went. Yes, he and a company of red-cloaked Vanguard troops passed north through this very gate. We rescued a deserter not long after that. Seems they fell under heavy attack, and the duke decided to push through, wanted to find refuge in the ruins of Piken Square."


 * "Listen, my duties keep me here at the Wall, but if you want to try to break through the whole Balthazar-cursed Charr army to meet up with Barradin, gods protect you, I say. No doubt the duke will greet you with open arms."

Intermediate dialogue

 * Ascalon Hunter
 * "Psst. Over here!"
 * "The Breach is a dangerous place, my friends."
 * "Duke Barradin has asked me to watch for people brave enough to cross the Wall."
 * "Follow me. I'll show you the safest way to Piken Square."
 * "The Charr have been patrolling the area regularly, but so far they've left us alone in Piken."
 * "It's just up ahead. Not far now."
 * "Well friends, I must report to the duke. Perhaps we will meet again soon."

Reward dialogue

 * Duke Barradin
 * "Captain Arne sent you, you say? Well then, welcome. I am Duke Barradin of Ascalon. It is good to see a friendly face in this dark hour. We Vanguard are few, but we are unwavering in our purpose. Clearly you are as tenacious as any of my men, or you would never have made it here. I salute you."
