Oh! You're workin' this job too?
SelectionBanterKarstToTibbsTwo
Guess the blood struggles to get all the way up to 'is brain, eh? eh?
SelectionBanterKarstToTibbsThree
'Ello rookie! Found a few markers, did ya? Apparently the Boss sees somethin' in you, but we won't know for sure 'til you're on the wrong side of a lance. I'm Karst, and there's not a lock in this world that I can't open. All you have to do is make sure I live long enough to open 'em. Adiyah'll get us to the job, and I'll show ya the ropes. Don't get tangled in 'em, 'cause it ain't my job to cut you free.
Trial Run
First things first; Client wants us to find an urn. Reckons the mark has it locked up. Thing is, it's pretty suspicious if that's the only thing that goes missing. Not really our problem, but taking heat off the client makes us look good, and we get to keep whatever else we find. Get where I'm going with this?
KarstEnterArea
I'll pick any locks that get in our way. You keep me alive, yeah?
KarstFirstDoor
Hear that? We ain't alone. Place is crawling with guards. You're here to make sure they don't kill us both.
KarstDoorOpen
Consider your actions, yeah? We don't want too much attention.
KarstAlertRaised
Urn's on the other side of this door. Grab it so we can get out of here.
KarstNearObjective
Perfe--... Wait, hear that? We've been made. Grab what ya can and head out.
KarstObjectiveObtained
Back the way we came, rookie!
KarstAfterAlert
We're still breathin, rook, so you ain't done half bad. Take that urn to Faustus, yeah? He'll sort you out.
KarstAfterExit
I'm Karst. Rather than waste my youth readin', I put that time to better use. Now I can pick just about any lock you're likely to come across.
Introduction
A man of style, the Boss. A thief of course wants to be rich and live a life of luxury, but once you hit a certain point of wealth, I imagine you might be motivated by other things.

Apparently, the Boss was living very comfortably indeed, but felt the need to challenge himself. He entered the First Bank of Theopolis in the middle of the day, entered the vault, and just started... movin' stuff around. Octavius family fortunes into the Maxius deposit box, Avarius riches split across every small safe, each of which he popped open as if there weren't even a lock on 'em. Mixing all the money up like it were caught in the tides. Then he goes and finds the records of deposits and withdrawals, and sets 'em on fire. Walks out like nothing happened.

Well, of course the bank puts the fire out, but the records are gone. So they notify all the big customers, telling them to come in with their copy of the deposit slips... and wouldn't you know it, they're gone too.

No bloody idea how he pulled it off. 'Course, the bank and all the clients will deny it ever happened. Be foolish not to.
The Boss
Got my contract, do ya? Ran with some low-life criminal scum in the back alleys of Oriath in my younger days. Real good blokes. Loyal to the last, or so I thought. Right before I was exiled, they beat me half to death and took off with my finest lock picks. If I'd had 'em when the Law came for me, I probably wouldn't be here, so in a sense, I 'spose I should be thankful, eh?

Well I'm not. I want those picks back, and I spent a lot of markers to find out where they went. Now I know, and you're gonna help me get 'em.
Stolen Lockpicks
Strange. I thought having these picks back would make me feel whole again, but...

Well, it's not your problem, rookie. Not yet.
Stolen Lockpicks
Been good having my old picks back. Real good. Just not good enough. It's like there's a lock inside me, and not even my beautiful antique picks can open it. But I been thinkin' about it long and hard, and I reckon I know what might.

Revenge.

One of me old crew recently got out of the game. Livin' a life of luxury now while everyone around him is suffering and strugglin' just to survive. That should've been my life, but he took it from me when he took my picks. I want to send him, and the rest of my old crew, a message. So, rather than take something, we're going to leave something. Something that'll put the fear of Sin into the lot of 'em.
Karst's Revenge
Bet you're wondering what happens now, eh? Interesting little toxin we left. Slowly fills the air, then the lungs. Never leaves the body. Just keeps building up. First you start feeling light headed. Then you start hearing things, start seeing things. Start getting paranoid. A day or two later, you feel tingly. The tingling turns to pain, and the pain keeps building until your heart just stops beating.

I'd wash your hands if I was you.
Karst's Revenge
Word of our last job has started gettin' round. Unfortunately, all the credit is goin' to an old rival of ours. That don't sit right with me. It's one thing to steal a man's property, but to steal a man's hard work? No, I ain't gonna let that stand.

So we're going to leave a little present at my ol' rival's abode. One of my prized lockpicks, dipped in the very same toxin.
Credit Where Credit's Due
You know what, rookie? I do believe I feel whole again. It's only a matter of time 'til that old rival of mine suffers the same fate as my traitorous crewmate. With both the bastards dead, and my pick the only common thread, the message is crystal clear:

Don't steal from a thief.
Credit Where Credit's Due
Forgot to tell ya, bringing this lug with us on this job.
IntroductionKarstToHuck
He's an absolute nutter. Ain't ya Huck?
IntroductionKarstToHuckTwo

KarstContractSelectThree
Hope this ain't all on me.
KarstBlueprintSelectOne
Keep it simple, yeah?
KarstBlueprintSelectTwo

KarstBlueprintSelectThree
Easy.
KarstLockPickOne
Blink and you'll miss it.
KarstLockPickTwo
This'll be quick.
KarstLockPickThree
Not quick, but not hard.
KarstLockPickFour
That's what I'm here for.
KarstLockPickFive
Shouldn't be a problem.
KarstLockPickSix
I'll take a look.
KarstPerceptionOne
What are you hiding...
KarstPerceptionTwo
Something's not right...
KarstPerceptionThree
Let's see... anything standing out?
KarstPerceptionFour
What do we have here?
KarstPerceptionFive
They're hiding something. I know it.
KarstPerceptionSix
I'll crack it open.
KarstVaultcrackingOne
What are you hiding, eh?
KarstVaultcrackingTwo
I'll get us in there.
KarstVaultcrackingThree
Curiosity always gets the better of me...
KarstVaultcrackingFour
Love the smell of hot metal.
KarstVaultcrackingFive
The more they try to keep me out, the more I want to get in.
KarstVaultcrackingSix
Bit preoccupied.
KarstBusyOne
You'll have to wait.
KarstBusyTwo
Got my hands full here.
KarstBusyThree
You blind? I'm busy.
KarstBusyFour
Trying to concentrate on something else.
KarstBusyFive
Oi, watch the hands!
KarstInterruptedOne
Can't work while I'm gettin' hit.
KarstInterruptedTwo
Any chance you could stop hitting me?
KarstInterruptedThree
Piss off, ya shite.
KarstInterruptedFour
Let you get this one, yeah?
KarstCombatStartOne
Who put you in a bad mood?
KarstCombatStartTwo
Nah, go on, you got 'em.
KarstCombatStartThree
Quick, before they make too much noise.
KarstCombatStartFour
We got company.
KarstCombatStartFive
Incoming.
KarstCombatStartSix
Too easy.
KarstCombatEndOne
Yeah. Yeeaaaah!
KarstCombatEndTwo
Wasn't worth it, was it?
KarstCombatEndThree
Should've stayed out of it.
KarstCombatEndFour
I got the best of ya.
KarstCombatEndFive
If you don't want it, I'll take it.
KarstLootOne
You sure you want that?
KarstLootTwo
Ehh, reckon I'll find something better.
KarstLootThree
Good. You take that.
KarstLootFour
Plenty more where that came from, I reckon.
KarstLootFive
Shh! Shut it.
KarstAlertLevelOne
Keep it down, or else.
KarstAlertLevelTwo
You trying to get us caught?
KarstAlertLevelThree
Might need to bail soon.
KarstAlertLevelFour
Oh boy, this is gonna get messy.
KarstAlarmOne
Don't fail me now, rookie.
KarstAlarmTwo
Let's make our escape.
KarstAlarmThree
Eh?! We gotta move! Now!
KarstSurpriseAlarmOne
You hear that? That's your fault.
KarstSurpriseAlarmTwo
Great, now the whole bloody world's coming after us.
KarstSurpriseAlarmThree
Got us here safe 'n' sound, didn't I?
KarstFinalRoomOne
Got eyes on the prize.
KarstFinalRoomTwo
Real close now. Real close.
KarstFinalRoomThree
Almost there. Don't screw it up.
KarstFinalRoomFour
I think this is what we're here for.
KarstFinalRoomFive
Tuck it away somewhere safe. We gotta move quick.
KarstObjectiveOne
Aw, I wanted to hold it. Fine. Whatever. Let's just go.
KarstObjectiveTwo
Is it just me or is this as good as it gets?
KarstObjectiveThree
Job done, right? Out we go.
KarstObjectiveFour
Always get nostalgic before a job. Almost miss me ol' crew.
KarstEntryBanterOne
Reckon I'll have a night out with the lads after this one. Can't remember the last time I blacked out.
KarstEntryBanterTwo
You're pretty quiet, eh Exile? ... Yeah, you're pretty quiet. Good quality in a thief.
KarstEntryBanterThree
If it starts gettin' hairy in there, you can handle yourself, yeah?
KarstEntryBanterFour
Things start going south in there, don't expect me to save you.
KarstEntryBanterFive
He does it again! Can anyone stop him! I sure bloody hope not.
KarstExitBanterOne
And with that, the rookie was forever indebted to the mighty Karst!
KarstExitBanterTwo
Hope you didn't leave anything down there rook! We ain't going back!
KarstExitBanterThree
Ahh, my lovely Adiyah! How about a celebratory drink, on me.
KarstExitBanterFour
This one may've taken a few weeks off my life, but it was bloody worth it.
KarstExitBanterFive
On it!
KarstLockPickLoudOne
Yeah, I know!
KarstLockPickLoudTwo
Easy!
KarstLockPickLoudThree
Just keep 'em off me!

KarstPerceptionLoudThree
I can't see--... wait, what's that!?
KarstPerceptionLoudFour
Horrible time to just be standing 'round!
KarstPerceptionLoudFive
Something... Something... Gotta be something.
KarstPerceptionLoudSix
Easy does it!
KarstVaultcrackingLoudOne
Nothing motivates like a little pressure!
KarstVaultcrackingLoudTwo
Trying to get us killed!?
KarstVaultcrackingLoudThree
Better lead to an escape hatch!
KarstVaultcrackingLoudFour
Easier without guards after us!
KarstVaultcrackingLoudFive
Normally enjoy this process!
KarstVaultcrackingLoudSix
Stop ordering me around!
KarstBusyLoudOne
One thing at a time!
KarstBusyLoudTwo
Can't do it all at once!
KarstBusyLoudThree
Make up your mind!
KarstBusyLoudFour
You get hit in the head?! I'm busy!
KarstBusyLoudFive
Lend a hand, rookie!
KarstInterruptedLoudOne
Piss! Off!
KarstInterruptedLoudTwo
Oi! Get!
KarstInterruptedLoudThree

Wish you'd pay that much attention to me.
EntryBanterNenetKarstReply
Confidence, not cockiness, will ensure success.
EntryBanterNilesKarstMockingReply
Not according to the rumours I heard about you.
EntryBanterHuckKarstReply
Was there a script? I didn't get one.
EntryBanterGiannaKarstReply
Triumph! Riches!
ExitBanterKarstToIsla
You tryin' to make me angry?
ExitBanterKarstToIslaTwo
Dunno 'bout you, but I'm ready to go home and celebrate.
ExitBanterKarstToVinderi
See that, Nenet? See what you're missin' out on?
ExitBanterKarstToNenet
Make way, Adiyah. Karst needs to pray at the altar of beer.
ExitBanterKarstToNiles
Honestly didn't think we'd make it.
ExitBanterKarstToHuck
Time to celebrate, yeah?
ExitBanterKarstToGianna
Oi, give your big brain a break, yeah? You earned it.

SelectionBanterKarstToKuraiThreeB
Will not, or cannot?
SelectionBanterKarstToKuraiFour
'Ello ello!

SelectionBanterKarstToIslaFour
Oi oi! Knew Vindy'd be on this one. Could smell him from upstairs!
SelectionBanterKarstToVinderi
And fish. Mostly fish, actually.
SelectionBanterKarstToVinderiTwo
To hide the powder?
SelectionBanterKarstToVinderiThree
The new blend. You bring a fish to hide the smell?
SelectionBanterKarstToVinderiFour
...Maybe best to leave it, yeah?
SelectionBanterKarstToVinderiFive
'Ello everyone.
