DialogueEdit

Windhelm Guards pull from the Argonian and Nord guard dialogue pools.

Female ArgonianEdit

If alerted, they'll call for you to stop where you are.

"You can't escape, criminal!"
"Cease your movement!"
"Halt at once!"
"No sudden moves!"
"Erect the spine of surrender!"

They'll accost you when they catch up to you.

"I erect the spine of 'pay your bounty so I can get back to my patrol.'"
"Sithis can't forgive your crimes, but you are in luck. The law accepts gold."
"Surrender, scum! That means "give up." I know, I know ... small words, short sentences."
"I erect the spine of judgement. Will you pay your fine?"
"I do believe I'm supposed to ask you to pay your fine. Or was I going to offer you a glass of wine?"
"When life hands you a rotten mudcrab, your only option is to pay your fine and beg for the law's mercy."
"Great news! You get to pay my salary. I hope you've been busy, I could use a raise."
"I love collecting bounties. I always wanted to be a poorly dressed, underpaid tax-collector."
"Real law enforcement is so boring. Why stop crimes when you can just stand around demanding bounties?"
"Keep your hands away from your weapons ... or just stand there like an idiot. That works too, I guess."
"Time to pay the fine. Are you going to need help counting it? Basic arithmetic––a criminal's bane."
"Don't you just hate guards hassling you for bounties? Almost makes you want to stop committing crimes…."
"Surrender, scum! That means 'give up.' I know, I know…small words, short sentences."
"I erect the spine of 'pay your bounty so I can get back to my patrol."
"I don't make the fines. I just collect the bounty. Now pay up or I'll get rough with you.'"
"The mud of justice has finally caught up with you. You're under arrest."
"Pay your bounty and no one will get hurt. Except me. Trouble at home, you know?"
"Please, no sad tale of your innocence. I couldn't bear to listen. Just pay your bounty."
"I'm probably wasting my time, but I'll ask anyway. Will you pay your bounty?"
"I'm not a judge or a jury. I'm just here to collect your bounty."
"You're not going to pay your bounty, are you?"
"Your crime is like a blockage in the river of your soul. I can clear it up if you pay your bounty."
"Let me help you clear your soul. Hand over your bounty and I'll put in a good word next time I pray."
"Crime is a dank cloud of noxious vapor. Pay your bounty and let the winds of justice prevail."
"Meditation will ease your mind, but the demands of justice require solid, immutable gold."
"Why did you have to break the law? Now you have to pay the bounty."
"How does this go again? Um, yes ... 'Stop, criminal, and pay the bounty for your crimes.'"
"I was on a break, having a few drinks, when I noticed your criminal face."
"You're a very bad person, and I'm ... I'm going to take your bounty, all right?"
"Forget something, toad? Resist if you want, but it's tough to hop away with broken legs."
"I don't have a problem, you have a problem! You know what your problem is? You committed a crime!"
"There are many paths through the forest of life. For you? I think you best option is to pay your fine."
"Look, I'm new at this, so why don't you help me out and just pay the bounty?"
"If you run, you won't get away. Because I'll run after you. So just pay the bounty."
"It's the bounty or a shallow grave––you decide."
"Pay the bounty or lose a limb. Mine grow back. Do yours?"
"I've got a great epitaph for your tombstone. 'Did not pay bounty.' Has a nice ring to it."
"Back home we'd take a finger for each crime. Sadly, we deal in gold here. Lucky you."
"I'm here to collect––your bounty or your head. You strike me as the 'bounty' type. More's the pity."
"I know you committed that crime, so don't try to confuse me. Just pay the bounty."
"Know the best thing about being a guard? I don't have to pay a bounty for breaking your pelvis."
"Your crimes are known. Pay the bounty or suffer the fangs."
"You break the law, I break your jaw. Unless you pay the bounty of course."
"I may be drunk, but you're a criminal! Now, have a drink and pay your fine."
"Don't try to run from me. Because I'll…I'll chase you. Just pay the bounty, all right?"
"I don't know why people can't just be nicer. I mean––pay the bounty, criminal scum."
"You! I'm talking to you, criminal! You owe a bounty, so hand it over!"
"When life hands you a rotten mudcrab, your only option is to pay your fine and beg for the law's mercy."
"Let's pay your bounty and finish this so I can get back to my cups. Uh, patrol."
"My mind is a cloudy bog today. Still, there's no reason we can't settle your bounty peacefully."
"You're a criminal. And I'm not as thunk as you drink I am. Wait…."
"You soul is covered in mud. Pay your bounty and let the rain of justice wash you clean."
"I do believe I'm supposed to ask you to pay your fine. Or was I going to offer you a glass of wine?"
"Halt, lawbreaker. I have come to claim your bounty. Pay now or you will drink mud."
"I erect the spine of urgency. Render payment on your bounty now. Quickly, dryskin."
"The fruit of crime is tough and bitter, mud-mouth. It is also costly. Pay your bounty or die."
"You swim in troubled water, lawbreaker. Best pay your bounty now. The slaughterfish are circling."
"The people call for justice ... and restitution. Pay your bounty and you may escape my wrath."
"Pay your fine, villain, or we will battle! As soon as I remember where I left my sword…"
"Criminal, will you pay your fine before I…wait, what was I saying? Anyway, about your bounty."
"Have you seen an outlaw around here? I'm supposed to collect a bounty, but I can't seem to…oh, it's you!"
"Don't you get cocky with me, criminal! Pay your fine or face my wrath!"

If you pay your bounty, they'll be satisfied and let you go. The result is the same if you ask for clemency.

[Pay] Here's <payable bounty amount> gold and everything I've stolen. Clear my bounty.
"Pleasure doing business with you."
"Praise the egg! The bounty is paid."
"Wait, you paid? Oh thank you!"
"Well, that went better than expected."
"I'm supposed to be done here, move along."
[Clemency] I have powerful friends. My bounty has already been covered.
"You expect me to let you go then? Sure why not."
"Oh fine. I feel like I'm in the wrong line of work."
"Oh, this will be fun. I can arrest you later for a bigger bounty."
"I can't do that, you're going to jail. Just kidding, you can go."

If you flee, the guard will utter an ambient line of dialogue before giving chase.

[Flee in <30> sec] I won't pay the bounty.
"Attack the guard? Great idea!"
"I expected more of you, villain!"
"I knew you would be trouble."
"Suicide by guard? So be it!"
"One of us will regret this!"
"I expected more of you, villain!"
"You were hatched from a rotten egg!"
"Was I not intimidating?"
"I'll tell my superior about this!"
"Now you've done it!"
"I'll make a drum out of your hide!"
"Now I'm angry."
"Finally some action!"
"This will cost you, vermin!"
"This is entirely your fault!"
"Didn't I ask for your surrender?"
"Didn't I warn you not to do that?"

Male ArgonianEdit

If alerted, they'll call for you to stop where you are.

"Hold, criminal!"
"I found you!"
"Halt and surrender!"
"Stand still, criminal!"

They'll accost you when they catch up to you.

"I've had a hard day. Don't give me any grief, criminal scum!"
"I hate to claim an egg before it hatches, but I assume you will pay your bounty?"
"My scales moisten in your presence. I desire much from you, but I must settle for your bounty."
"I'm sorry, but I must demand your bounty. I'm sure you understand."
"There's no cause to fear me. I'm here to help you pay your bounty."
"We all forget things in the midst of our hectic lives. So I'm here to remind you to pay your fine."
"Uh, yeah, that's right. I represent the town guard. So, uh, pay the bounty, all right?"
"We must all face the consequences of our actions eventually. That's just how the river flows."
"Well met! I know you plan to pay your fine. I'm here to accommodate your needs."
"I'm here to collect your bounty. Then we can put this unfortunate business behind us."
"Good friend, it seems you forgot to take care of the bounty hanging over you."
"I must insist you pay your bounty. Justice shall be served."
"You'd think I'd find this more exciting, but no. Anyway, will you yield and pay your fine?"
"My scales blush at your beauty, but I must ask for your bounty."
"Neither of us wants to be here, but here we are. So, can I collect your bounty now?"
"What did you do? No, don't tell me, I'd rather not know. Just pay your bounty and be on your way."
"Another criminal? Why am I not surprised? I suppose you want to pay your bounty now?"
"My records indicate you owe a bounty for a past crime. And my records are never wrong."
"Such beauty––why must it be so savage? You must pay for your criminal transgressions."
"I am drawn by your musk, but also by my duty. Please. Do not make me scar such a pretty face."
"You are a shining fish caught in a foul current, but you can still return to the river's flow."
"Sometimes the law moves at the speed of mud flowing uphill. If you pay now, I'd be grateful."
"Bright flowers often have poison barbs. Is it the same with you? I will not be beguiled."
"I've heard every excuse, so spare me and just pay your bounty."
"Even the prettiest saplings must be pruned. Especially when they branch into criminal activity."
"I regret that we come from opposite sides of the river. Only your bounty can pass between us."
"If I'm not interrupting anything important, I'd like to secure your bounty now."
"Pay your bounty and maybe I'll let you walk away."
"I do hope you're not a violent sort. I much prefer to deal with civilized lawbreakers."
"You did some crime. Now you pay a bounty."
"You have to pay a bounty because you're a bad person."
"You're a bad person. Pay the fine."
"Why did you do such a bad thing?"
"I can take your gold now."
"The captain says you must pay 'restitution.' Whatever that means."
"Know what we do with criminals around here? Pay your bounty, and you won't have to find out."
"Bounty's too nice for the likes of you."
"You don't want to pick a fight with me. Pay your bounty or else."
"I've heard every excuse, so spare me and just pay your bounty."
"You'd think I'd find this more exciting, but no. Anyway, will you yield and pay your fine?"
"Another criminal? Why am I not surprised? I suppose you want to pay your bounty now?"
"You need to be careful. I'm a volcano of raw emotion and I'm ready to explode!"
"Take care, or collecting your bounty won't be an option. Bleeding on the ground? That's always an option."
"You can pay your bounty, or I can beat the snot out of you. Your choice."
"My last prisoner? Stabbed himself in the back, after roughing himself up a bit. Hint, hint."
"You should be careful. I'm an egg on a precipice and I'm about to crack!"
"Pay your bounty, criminal scum. Just pay it! I was having a bad day before I saw your ugly face."
"I've got you surrounded. Don't make me nervous! I get all twitchy when I'm nervous."
"Don't move. Pay your bounty and you can go. Did you move? I'd better not see you move. I'm warning you!"

If you pay your bounty, they'll be satisfied and let you go. The result is the same if you ask for clemency.

[Pay] Here's <payable bounty amount> gold and everything I've stolen. Clear my bounty.
"Ah friend! All is forgiven."
"Compensation for your debt has been received!"
"I erect the spine of bashful farewell."
"All right, I guess we're done here."
"Farewell, luscious flower."
"A pleasure, cleaning your record."
[Clemency] I have powerful friends. My bounty has already been covered.
"All right, but don't try my patience again."
"Fine, but if you try something, so help me."

If you flee, the guard will utter an ambient line of dialogue before giving chase.

[Flee in <30> sec] I won't pay the bounty.
"You just cracked the egg, scum!"
"You can't outrun the wamasu!"
"The wind of justice must blow."
"I'll make this painless as possible!"
"I tried to be nice about this."
"You should have paid the gold."
"The grass wanes in the wind and I do not!"
"I knew this would happen!"
"The wind of justice must blow!"
"Why did you try to run?"
"You crossed the wrong guard, villain!"
"You're leaving? Over my dead body!"
"Should have paid the bounty."
"Now I get to hit you!"
"And I thought I wouldn't hit anything today!"
"You trifled with the wrong guard, villain!"


Female NordEdit

If alerted, they'll call for you to stop where you are.

"Go no further, milk-drinker!"
"Halt right there!"
"Freeze, scum!"
"Hold it right there!"
"I bid you surrender!"

They'll accost you when they catch up to you.

"Surrender and pay, scum!"
"Your compensation, now!"
"This ends now, outlaw!"
"Pay or suffer, villain!"
"You bounty, forthwith!"
"Honor your debt, milk-drinking scum!"
"Pay or die, criminal!"
"Don't be a milk-drinking horker! Pay your bounty and set your mind at ease."
"The use of force is only required if you resist. If you pay your bounty, you can avoid it."
"If your crimes were more drastic, I'd be required to attack on sight. Instead, you may simply pay."
"There is no clemency for criminals here. You must pay your bounty, or I will use force."
"There are laws here, and it's my duty to enforce them. You have a bounty and I must collect it."
"You have been accused of a crime and I am authorized to demand you pay bounty."
"You have a criminal record. I can help with that! I'll gladly accept payment to make this go away."
"Good day! You're not like those usual horkers I deal with. You look like you have plenty of gold."
"Whatever offense you may have committed, they have been recorded, and the bounty is due."
"This isn't about innocence or guilt. You have a bounty for crimes committed and I must collect it."
"Gods-cursed criminal. Pay the bounty and get out of here."
"You don't have to confess anything. You just have to pay the gold and your name is cleared."
"No one can evade the guards forever. Just pay your bounty and then it's no longer a problem."
"A life of crime has its ups and downs. You had to know your luck would run dry. Now you pay your bounty."
"Some guards might try to squeeze extra gold out of you, but all I ask is that you pay what you owe."
"What's the smell? Oh yeah, a stinking criminal. Pay the bounty. And take a bath."
"I like you, thief. Give me your gold and you'll be free and clear."
"I'd prefer to handle this all civil like, but I can get furious if you like that sort of thing."
"The suggested action is that you pay the fee for your bounty."
"You owe a bounty for your crimes, and I'll accept not a coin less."
"It was a golden opportunity. Who hasn't been tempted, am I right? Just pay me and go."
"We have a common purpose, friend. You want the law to leave alone and I want your gold."
"Pay your bounty, friend, and perhaps we can work something out later."
"I understand completely. Slip a little extra into your payment and I'll forget I ever saw you."
"A little corruption never hurt anyone, but I still need to collect your bounty."
"Will you pay your bounty, must I introduce your face to the ground?"
"Next time you break the law, make sure I'm not watching. Not that you're hard on the eyes."
"It's tough to ignore the law when it looks this good. Now…bounty. Fork it over."
"Caught in the act! I know the feeling. Sorry to rain on the parade, but you've got a bounty to pay."
"My back hurts and my eyes are tired, but justice will be served."
"Hi! I'm here for your bounty. Come on, pay up! You certainly look like you can afford it."
"In the eyes of the law, you're a criminal, but you can pay your bounty to be a citizen again."
"Let's not overcomplicate this. You committed a crime and got caught. Pay your bounty and you can go."
"You're the one who decided to break the law, so you're the one who has to pay the fine."
"Don't make me get rough with you, villain. Really. Just don't."
"Come, wrongdoer, pay up and be quick about it."
"Crime never pays, sweetheart. That's why I got into law enforcement. Now, let's talk about bounties, shall we?"
"Pay the bounty and get out of my way."
"If you make me run any more, I will beat you. Now, pay your fine, villain."
"I've had a hard day, Just pay your bounty and let's be done with this business."
"Repent and let me get back to more important work."
"There's no reason for this to get ugly, milk-drinker."

If you pay your bounty, they'll be satisfied and let you go. The result is the same if you ask for clemency.

[Pay] Here's <payable bounty amount> gold and everything I've stolen. Clear my bounty.
"The felon has made restitution."
"The penalty has been paid."
"Go and break no laws, you're free."
"Criminal? I see no criminal here."
"The law is satisfied."
"My tired feet thank you for cooperating."
"I appreciate you taking it so well."
"All right, I'll be on my way then."
[Clemency] I have powerful friends. My bounty has already been covered.
"Waste of my time. Get out of here."
"An honest mistake. I make them all the time. Go on."
"I guess I can bend the rules, but just this one time."
"See? Easy. Now keep that nose clean."

If you flee, the guard will utter an ambient line of dialogue before giving chase.

[Flee in <30> sec] I won't pay the bounty.
"That's your last mistake!"
"Die rogue!"
"You want to fight? Very well!"
"I am now authorized to attack!"
"Duty demands that I use force!"
"The horker wants to fight? Gladly!"
"So be it."
"Guess I'll have to kill you now."
"I can't let you walk away!"
"Ugly and dumb, eh?"
"Then we'll work it out in battle!"
"Violence? I can do violence!"
"Such a waste!"
"It's your funeral, sweetroll!"
"Don't make me chase you down, felon!"
"Don't make me beat you, thief!"

Male NordEdit

If alerted, they'll call for you to stop where you are.

"You, stop at once!"
"Cease and desist!"
"Stop! You owe a bounty!"
"One more step and I'll cut you down!"

They'll accost you when they catch up to you.

"Where have you been hiding all my life? If we clear your name, maybe we can talk of other things."
"I love rabbit meatballs! Do you love rabbit meatballs? Pay your fine and we may one day eat together."
"A rendezvous? If you insist! But let's get your bounty handled first, shall we?"
"I've come to ask ... I mean, demand your bounty. Yeah, demand. So pay up ... please?"
"Where have you been hiding all my life? If we clear your name, maybe we can talk of other things."
"No one as attractive as you could be a criminal! Let me help you clear your record, all right?"
"I know, I'm irresistible. I hear that all the time. Let's keep this professional and settle your account."
"Has anyone said you have a fabulous jaw? After you pay your fine, I'll tell you more."
"I'd pay the bounty for you if I could, but such favors are frowned upon by my superiors."
"Well, look at you! I'm sure we can work something out so you can put this business behind you."
"All right, lawbreaker, time to pay for your crimes. You are going to pay, right?"
"Great news! You get to pay your debt to society in gold! Could be worse, right?"
"The bad news is that you have to pay a fine. The good news is I'm going to get a promotion!"
"I remember the old days when we would just pound your head in after a crime. This is much easier!"
"I've got orders to collect your bounty…. Very strict orders. Don't blame me, all right?"
"I ... I need you to pay your bounty. If you refuse someone will probably chase you. Just fair warning."
"No need for concern. Pay the bounty and your name will be cleared."
"This doesn't have to be difficult. Pay the bounty and I'm on my way."
"The evidence against you is overwhelming, but there's a light at the end of the pass."
"Drunk? Of course I'm drunk! What of it? Give more lip and I'll double your fine!"
"Nothing to be ashamed of. We all get caught, eventually."
"I have a thought. Pay your bounty and I won't pull your arms from their sockets."
"What happens next is up to you. If you pay your fine, this all goes away. I prefer the other option."
"The law is reasonable, but you continue to snub your nose at it. Now you must pay."
"Give me some gold and I'll let you off the hook, no questions asked."
"You know what would make my foul mood even worse? If you decide not to pay your bounty!"
"Do I look like I want to talk to you? I just want to collect your bounty and move along."
"My mood is like a winter's storm, cold and unpredictable! Care to try your luck or will you pay up?"
"I almost never drink on duty, but I'm having a bad day. Don't ask. Just pay your bounty and go away."
"No need to worry. Just pay your fine and be on your way."
"You action screams guilt. I see no contrition. That pains me, it really does."
"It's nothing to be proud of, but it isn't the end of the world, either. Just pay your bounty."
"You lawbreakers give me indigestion! Pay your bounty before I lose my breakfast all over you."
"I may be ineb … intox … I may be drunk, but I am no criminal. I don't think. Now pay up!"
"Look, I know you have better things to do, but can you just pay bounty? Please?"
"I've come to ask ... I mean, demand your bounty. Yeah, demand. So pay up ... please?"
"Can you just help me out and pay your bounty? If I lose another one I'm out of a job!"
"You have a bounty to pay. Are you listening? Uh, I'll try to speak up."
"You've broken the law. Now it's time to…wait, what time is it? Time to pay, that's it!"
"Don't tell me your story. I don't want to hear it. I just want to collect your bounty."
"Let's see. So that's what you did, huh? Why am I not surprised? Just pay your bounty and you can go."
"You need to pay your bounty. There really isn't any other option."
"Now listen, you milk-drinking miscreant! You'll pay your bounty in gold or in blood!"
"Don't give me a reason to hurt you. Just pay your bounty and be on your way."
"I've dealt with hundreds of criminals. I know how to handle your kind. So pay me and go."
"I don't know what you did and I don't care. If you pay your bounty, we can forget all about this."
"Don't be a horker. Just pay your bounty and be done with it."
"Great news! You get to pay your debt to society in gold! Could be worse, right?"

If you pay your bounty, they'll be satisfied and let you go. The result is the same if you ask for clemency.

[Pay] Here's <payable bounty amount> gold and everything I've stolen. Clear my bounty.
"I'll see you again, my little snowball."
"You did good, settling your affairs."
"Great! Thank you. Seriously ... thank you."
"I expect we'll see each other again."
"Excellent! It's been a pleasure."
[Clemency] I have powerful friends. My bounty has already been covered.
"I knew you weren't a criminal. You're so much attractive."
"Go on little snowball, but I'll dream of you this night."

If you flee, the guard will utter an ambient line of dialogue before giving chase.

[Flee in <30> sec] I won't pay the bounty.
"I didn't want it to come to this!"
"Wait! We can still work this out!"
"You ruined such a nice time!"
"Oh well. Can't win them all!"
"We're fighting? Well, all right!"
"Oh dear. Stop!"
"Even I have limits!"
"All right, you'll pay in blood!"
"I'm not drunk enough for this!"
"This doesn't improve my mood!"
"You've angered the mammoth, troll-bait!"
"I fight best when I'm drunk!"
"No one ever wants to pay!"
"Didn't want to kill you, but oh well!"
"Ah well. Can't win them all!"
