4.      “Tag. You're dead."
5.      “It is time you learned; you’re not in my league.”
6.      "Welcome to the end of your life. And I promise, it's going to hurt."
7.      "You have much to learn, come let me teach you.”

13.   “You couldn’t kill my boredom!”
14.   "I've heard it said that we only gain wisdom through suffering... and tonight, I intend to make you very wise."

40.   “When the lord of the underworld asks who sent you tell him [insert your name]”
41.   “I hate to waste my energy on someone so…pathetic.”
42.   “If you try me, your existence ends.”
43.   “Good upstanding folk would never hurt you, unfortunately for you, were neither good nor upstanding.”
44.   "Sigh, and I was so hoping to avoid kicking some arse today."

83.   "Yea, I have faced adversaries worthier than you ... but too few; I shall seek to remember this face."
84.   "The graveyards are full of opponents far your better. But come: try your hand, child. The wheel turns, the cards flutter. Fame or death await you."
85.   "In my lands, there are words for bravery; there are also words for foolishness. But there are no words for the grave error of opposing my technique."
86.   "Speak to me now, in your final moments, of what you would have done with the years given you ... had we not met this day."
87.   (looking at a group) "I shall leave one survivor to tell the tale. He of you with the most cunning tongue and fairest face, depart now."

89.   "Kneel, take heed of my words, and praise [deity's name] so I might bury you a believer."
90.   "A most-singular specimen, to be sure; as a professional collector, I must inquire—what part of your species is found most quarrelsome in terms of taxidermy and display?"
91.   "If anyone asks, I did this for reasons other than pure spite."
