Once on the other side of the Dark Portal, Khadgar, Thrall, and Maraad all make sure you know they appreciate your awesomeness with some ego-boosting dialogue. This is also going on as you run around and complete the quests in the area. Despite the urgency behind what they say, there's no timer to worry about, so stand around and listen to the voice acting as much or as little as you please!
Vindicator Maraad yells: Fight on, brothers and sisters! <Name> will see us through this war!
Vindicator Maraad says: Merely adolescent gronn, Khadgar. Nothing that Commander <Name> couldn't handle alone.
Cordana Felsong says: The front lines are faltering. They cannot hold for much longer.
Archmage Khadgar says: <Name> needs more time to finish the mission!
Thrall says: The elements will grant us time! For Azeroth!
Thrall yells: FURY OF EARTH, GRANT ME YOUR STRENGTH!
Vindicator Maraad yells: MUSTER YOUR STRENGTH! ANOTHER IRON HORDE BATTALION APPROACHES!
Lady Liadrin yells: RAMPAGING BEASTS CHARGING TO OUR POSITION!
Thrall says: Archmage, if <Name> is to succeed in their mission the vanguard must not fall!
Thrall says: I will not stand by and watch our heroes be destroyed!
Thrall yells: FURY OF STORMS, HEAR MY PLEA!
Thrall says: I will not be able to defend the front for much longer. My power here is greatly diminished. <Name> must succeed or Azeroth will fall.
Vindicator Maraad says: Conserve your energy. We must ensure that <Name> completes the mission. I will deal with the beasts myself!
Vindicator Maraad says: Light, grant me your vengeance and <Name> your protection.It repeats after this point, but there are a few other lines that swap out according to what's going on down below.
Vindicator Maraad yells: KHADGAR! INCOMING!
Archmage Khadgar says: GET BEHIND ME!
Lady Liadrin yells: IRON HORDE TANK HEADING TO THE FRONT! IT'S MASSIVE!
Archmage Khadgar yells: Focus on your mission, <Name>! I will handle the tank!I don't know if it's a proximity thing or not, but Mumper, who is on the left hand side as you go down the stairs says:
Mumper says: If I could just close my eyes for a few moments...
