Against Lilina in Champions of Yore 1

Miriel: I sense voluminous reserves of magic amalgamating within you. It should prove quite elucidating to dissect you piece by piece.
Lilina: What?! I'm not some frog for you to pick apart!
Miriel: No, of course not. I have no interest in frogs. But come at me anyway. Let us see whether or not you croak.

Against Lilina in Champions of Yore 3

Miriel: Lamentable and reprehensible. Why have you taken up arms? With your aid, we could advance mankind's magical knowledge.
Lilina: Be silent, stranger. I seek only to advance the demise of brigands like you.

Against Lewyn in Lost Bloodlines 1

Lewyn: I've no love for bloodshed, but you cannot be allowed to pursue this fight.
Miriel: A sentiment which I must dexterously deflect back in your direction. But shall we dispense with the rhetoric? It seems quite superfluous when you will expire shortly.

Against Boey in Lost Bloodlines 2

Boey: I see your world has plenty of female soldiers as well.
Miriel: Then you also allow women in your army? How very enlightened. I was thinking to use misogyny as an excuse to grill you alive.

Against Lewyn in Lost Bloodlines 3

Miriel: I deduce already that this will be a most zesty experience.
Lewyn: An experience? You'd do well to take this fight more seriously.
Miriel: I intend it as a compliment. Did I not project the needed gravitas? You should be honored to have any empirical value at all.

Against Lute in Smash Brethren 2

Lute: You look powerful. And smart, too. You might even stand a chance against me...

Against Lute in Smash Brethren 3

Miriel: Would you like to fight?
Lute: I don't mind, but why ask first? You might have fared better with a sudden, unexpected strike.
Miriel: Ah. Indeed, swift victory could be mine, were that my primary objective. However, what I really seek is feedback. I can't evaluate my fighting if I level you at a stroke!

Against Raydrik in Rogues & Redeemers 1

Raydrik: Surrender now, woman, and there may be a place for you at my table.

Against Raydrik in Rogues & Redeemers 3
