They must first arrive at Altier, a busy\n
port town, to charter a vessel.|\event\n
However, within Fortuita's strife-laden\n
borders, Owen will encounter an old friend,\event\n
and a new foe...|

## Idk what the world map events are, use the event keys as you see fit

## Intro 1
## PRECHAPTER SCENE 1 (ALTIER) Elijah, Charles, and Owen are outside town.

\s[5]
I can't believe we're here already.|\n
I've never really appreciated the freedom\n
of walking openly in my own country.|\b[5|2]\n
I suppose it's hard to appreciate\n
one's own privileges without having\n
them taken away first.|

\s[2]
I agree.\b[5|0] It has taken some getting\n
used to to have this feel... normal.|

\s[5]
What do you think, Charles? You've been\n
quiet since we left the castle. You're\n
not still thinking about Belle are you?|

\s[1]\m[1|1]
I... I'm sorry. I've been trying to\n
stay focused, but it's not been easy...|
\s[-2]

\m[2|3]\w[4]\r[3]\w[5]
\s[3]
Don't beat yourself up, you just\n
need a distraction that's all.|\r[3]\w[4]\n
Let's continue into town Milord,\n
we'll find something for Charles to do.|

\s[5]
Indeed. Time will be of the essence if\n
we are to get this plan off the ground.|
\s[-2]

## This last line seems contradictory? Time is of the essence so let's screw around with Charles? lol

## Intro 2
## PRECHAPTER SCENE 2 (ALTIER) Elijah, Charles and Owen
## The BG may not be wanted here, remove if this is intended to be on the map
\g[Town]
\f[2|Elijah]\w[5]
\s[2]
What in the...? There's hardly a\n
soul here, did something happen?|
\s[-2]

\w[8]
\f[1|Charles]\f[3|Owen]\o[2]\o[1]
\s[3]
The streets should be bustling with\n
activity... Altier is meant to be one\n
of our most active port towns.|

\s[1]
If it is, they must be having an off\n
day; there's only one ship docked.|
\s[-2]

##*Maybe pan down to show Galahad's ship*

## Intro 2 Pt2
\g[Town]
\f[3|Owen]\f[2|Elijah]\f[1|Charles]
\s[2]
Yeah, damned if I see any\n
crew though... or a flag.|

\s[3]
Right, our priority should be to\n
identify the owner of the ship.|\n
If we can't do that, we'll have\n
no choice but to wait for another\n
vessel to make port.|

\s[2]
I'll see what I can do Milord.|\n
Charles and I could have a wander\n
around town to stock up on supplies, and\n
maybe find out why Altier's so... lifeless.|
\s[-2]

\m[3|4]\r[4]\w[8]

\s[4]
Not a bad suggestion Elijah.\n
Let's have our men split up and\n
gather whatever information they can.|

\s[2]
Keep an eye on them, and make sure\n
they don't screw up our plan.|\r[2]\n
That bastard should be arriving\n
any minute now...|

It's no use! There're only\n

It's like these sailors\n
are TRYING to stay hidden!|

\r[5]

Wait, Elijah, look! Another\n

flying the Fortuitan flag.|

It was barely three days o'\n

Step off. You're in the way\n
of my mornin' drink... drinks.|

\s[6]
Day drinking? No judgment here\n
buddy. But we're here on Fortuitan\n
business, perhaps you could--|

\s[2]\b[2|1]
Pah. Fortuita Schmortuita, I've\n
heard that line before, ye picaroon.|\e[6|0]\n
This is a garbage nation, and\n
I've no interest in helping it.|

\s[6]
... Picaroon?|

\s[5]
Excuse me, what do you\n
mean by "garbage nation?"|

\s[2]\b[2|0]
Listen, you hear that? That's right,\n
it's the sound of silence, all thanks\n
to yer scuffle with the Aryndese.|\n
If it weren't for my regulars, I\n
wouldn't even be here trying\n
to scrape together some coin.|
\s[-2]

\m[2|2]

got an appointment, right over\n
there in that tavern...|

\s[5]
Hold on! Couldn't we at least make you\n
an offer? Our lord would be prepared\n
to offer a lot of gold for your services!|

\s[3]
An offer? I do like offers, and gold.|\n
Alright, tell your lord to find me at\n
the Tavern in let's say... thirty minutes.|\n
The name's Kane, by the way.|

Do you reckon this "appointment"\n
is a morning drink or another client?|

\s[6]
Could be both - which might be a problem.|\r[6]\n
Either way, good job getting him on\n
our side. I'm gonna grab Owen, you\n
should keep investigating the town.|

\s[4]
Are you sure? I could give you\n
a ride on my horse if you want.|

Oh, thank the seven seas!|\n
Yes, noble horseman, we\n
need to get this supply\n
wagon back to our ship!|

Alright... I'll just\n
hitch it up to my horse.|

\m[4|4]\w[32]\m[4|5]\m[5|4]\w[8]

\m[6|6]
\s[6]
Whoa this weighs a\n
ton! What's in this?|

\s[4]
Ale, our captain's a big fan\n
of the Fortuitan variety.|\n
But a lead belly needs a lot of\n
alcohol, hence the added weight.\n
Normally, Kane prefers rum.|

\s[2]
Luckily, the brewmaster was practically\n
giving this stuff away! So we had enough\n
gold leftover to buy some extra things.|

\s[4]
Vulneraries, weapons, whetstones...|\n
If you need gear, we can sell\n
you some for a good price.|

\s[6]
That's good to know... Can you tell\n
me a little more about your captain?|\n
Do you think he'd be up for some combat?|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Kane used to... fend off pirates on\n
the regular, his combat prowess was\n
quite renown where he came from--|

\s[4]
True, though he has been\n
a tad bored lately.|

\s[6]
... Bored?|

\s[4]
Oh yes, since the civil war,\n
we were basically landlocked.|\n
There's only so many drunken brawls\n
a man can win before they're banned\n
from every tavern this side of Fortuita.|\n
He's been waiting for some excitement.|

\s[6]
That sounds way too familiar. How do you\n
think he'd feel about venturing to Toska?|

\s[2]\m[2|2]
Toska? The realm of endless\n
nights and bone-chilling cold?|\n
Where men aren't birthed from\n
matrons, but forged from iron?|\e[2|1]\n
How utterly intriguing!|

\s[4]
Kane's already booked, but he's\n
always up for a challenge.|\e[4|1]\n
Throw enough gold at him and\n
I'm sure he'll consider it.|

\s[6]\e[6|1]
That's great to hear! I'm\n
Charles by the way, a cavalier\n
in service to Queen Belle.|

\s[4]
I'm Leonid, Ferryman Kane's\n
first mate, and clerical advisor.|\r[4]\n
And this fellow is--|

\m[2|2]\name[2|Aero the Magnificent]
\s[2]
Aero the Magnificent, a motivator\n
and performer, at your service!|

## Modified this line due to it not making sense
## At no point was Nico's name said, so Charle's remark is strange
## Making it Leonid I think is funny at least

\s[4]\e[4|0]
Aero? I thought you said your name\n
was Nico... Have I been calling you\n
the wrong name all this time?|

\s[2]
Both are true! Nico is my real\n
name, Aero is my stage-name!|

\s[4]\b[4|2]
For the love of...|

\s[6]

That is good to hear, but what\n
of the state of the town?\n
Do we know why it's so quiet?|

Well, this place got most of\n
it's trade from Arynden, so...|

We'd met a ferryman in Rovina Village during the\n

sail to Ezpatha, apparently to search for allies.|

wanted to enjoy the weather.|

angry at Owen, and understandably so.|\n

I'm not put off by your background,\n

But, you're not in the least\n
concerned about this 'Peter?'|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Let's strike a deal: ye quit with \n
he questions, and I hear your offer.|\n
And, to show thanks for saving my\n
life, we'll hit the high seas once\n
I'm done with this drink.|

Now, hold on Kane! We struck a deal\n
first, don't tell me you forgot that.|

\s[2]
Uh...|

\s[5]
It seems as though the captain\n
wishes to hear my offer, Sawyer.|

\s[1]
Well I saved his life!\n
So, he owes me a favor.|

\s[5]
True, and I saved your life,\n
which means you owe me one.|

\s[2]
Fine then, what favor would\n
you have of me? And what's\n
this plan of yours?|

\s[5]
We sail towards Toska, commandeer a\n
warship, and infiltrate the country.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Oh, suicide? You don't need\n
my help for that.\e[2|0] I take it\n
the Duchess put you up to this?|

\s[5]
The plan is mine and mine alone.|\n
It had to get her approval of\n
course, but that's just beaurocracy.|\n
I don't require your company, but my men\n
and I must be ferried to Toska first.\n
Once Kane's finished, you can have him back.|
\s[-2]

\f[1|Kane]\w[5]
\s[1]
Speaking of lil ol' me, how\n
much gold is...\m[1|1] *burp* in this?|

\s[5]
50,000, and you get to keep\n
the Toskan warship we steal.|

\s[1]\b[1|2]
Hmm...|

I'll also throw in this\n
bottle of Idethran sherry.|

Now we're talkin'! Deal!|
\s[-2]

\w[6]

\s[2]\b[2|2]
*Sigh*\b[2|0] And... why Toska?|

\s[5]
The people suffer from the\n
negligence of a tyrant; they\n
are on the brink of rebellion.|\n
If we help overthrow the Tsarina,\n
we gain a powerful new ally in\n
our fight against Oberon.|\b[1|1]\n
We've done it once Sawyer,\n
we can do it again.|

\f[6|Eagle]

\s[6]
The Toskan border is barely two\n
days of sailing, Lord Sawyer.|\n
Kane should be back in less than\n
a week, we can simply remain\n
in Altier for the time being.|

\s[2]\m[2|2]\e[2|2]
Sod that! Owen, I can't trust you to\n
bring back Kane on time - or in one piece;|\n
especially considering what you pulled with\n
the Duchess. To ensure you fulfill your\n
part of the deal, we're going along as well.|

\s[5]
As you wish.\e[2|0] Shall we be off, Kane?|

\s[2]
Thank you for the escort to Altier,\n
you may all return to Idethra now.|

\s[4]
Before we do, Lord Owen, may we\n
speak to you about something?|

\s[2]
Very well, I'm short on\n
time, but what is it?|

\s[6]
Firstly, my partner and I wanted to\n
properly thank you for springing us free\n
from Seneca during the castle siege.|

\s[2]
It wasn't a problem. After all, your\n
imprisonment was void as soon as the queen\n
retook the throne. Anyway, was that all?|

\s[5]
Well, there was one other\n
thing... You see...|

\s[6]
We wish to accompany you on your\n
mission to defeat Arynden, Lord Owen.|

\s[4]
I wish to join you in this endeavor as well.|

\s[2]
I've heard of Nero and Sofia's past exploits,\n
and worked with them during the palace siege,\n
but I don't believe I know much about you.|

\s[4]
My name is Sylvia. I am a royal guard\n
of Palace Idethra. A pleasure to meet you.|

\s[2]
A pleasure indeed.|

\s[4]
During the civil war, I assisted\n
Generals Shane and Oscar in\n
their flight from the capital.|\n
Once they were safe, I heard the\n
clarion call of the guards who\n
escaped the palace dungeon.|\n
After that, I did my part to spread\n
the message they carried. Thank\n
you for your service, milord.|

\s[2]
I've been flattered enough for one morning\n
Sylvia, save your thanks for the two\n
standing beside you. They freed the guards.|

\f[4|Sylvia]\o[5]\o[6]
\s[4]
Lord Owen,\e[5|0] I was unable to assist during the\n
civil war itself, so this would be my way of\n
paying penance. Please, allow me to assist.|

\s[2]
I'm assuming you found out about this\n
through Duchess Federica... I wouldn't turn\n
away another set of hands on this mission.|\n
However, you three already have duties\n
to tend to within Idethra, do you not?|

\s[6]
We do have guarding to attend to,\m
yes. I will grant you that those\n
duties are important.|\n
However, Sylvia put it very well:\n
none of us were able to assist\n
you during the civil war.|\n
We wish to make that right.|

\s[5]
And besides, our skills will be put to far\n
better use beyond the palace walls. We'll do
better work in Arynden or Toska than here.|

\s[2]
Just for curiosity's sake...\n
How much did you all eavesdrop\n
on the war council?|

\s[5]
Erm... I may have overheard\n
the whole thing.|

\s[6]
I made no active attempt to spy,\n
Lord Owen. However, the door may\n
have been open a slight crack...|

\s[4]
This is the first I'm hearing of this.|

\s[2]
I should really have you two court-martialed\n
for this... On the other hand, I at least won't\n
need to explain the plan a second time.|\n
Very well, I will grant you your request.\n
However, know that the life of the soldier\n
is much different than the life of a guard.|\n
The battlefield is far more dangerous a\n
place than any of you will have\n
experienced before.|

\s[6]
Not to worry, milord. I've accompanied a\n
mercenary company on missions with Grace\n
many a time. I'm familiar with open combat.|\n
I am also trained to handle large crowds\n
of aggressive individuals.|

\s[5]
I... I may have been putting in a\n
little bit of knight's training on\n
the side myself. I can handle it.|

\s[4]
Before I was a royal guard, I was\n
a soldier. I have slain my fair\n
share of bandits and highwaymen.|

\s[2]
...You all have a very admirable\n
set of extracurriculars, don't you?|

\s[6]
Whatever it takes to keep\n
Fortuita safe, I will do.|

\s[5]
If I'm ever to become a\n
knight, I must train like\n
one. You understand, right?|

\s[2]
Alright, alright. You can stay, Sylvia,\n
I will debrief you when I get the chance.|\n
For now, maintain a steady vigil, there's\n
something going on in this town...|

\s[5]
Yes, Milord.|

\s[6]
Yes, sir!|

Yes, Milord.|

\s[6]
I'm sorry, this isn't very easy\n
for me to ask outright. I want\n
to help you defeat Arynden.|

\s[5]
I wish to join you in this endeavor as well.|

\s[2]
I've heard of Sofia's past exploits and I\n
worked with her during the palace siege, but\n
I don't believe we've been properly introduced.|

I wouldn't turn away another set of hands on\n

\s[6]
I do, and I'm sure Sylvia does too.|\n
But I'd throw that all away in an\n
instant to fight against Arynden.|\n
Arynden, Toska, wherever you want\n
to go. Just not here, not Fortuita.|

\s[2]
You eavesdropped on the\n
war council, didn't you?|

\s[6]
I overheard the whole thing. As an old friend of mine\n
once said, whatever it takes to keep Fortuita safe,\n
I will do. Even if that includes breaking its rules.|\n
But that friend is dead now. So I'll keep fighting\n
to keep his memory alive, if you'll have me.|

\s[2]
Right, Nero. I'm sorry for your loss.|

\s[6]
... ... ...|

\s[5]
... ... ...|

\s[2]
I'm willing to approve your requests, you\n
two. However, know that the life of the soldier\n

From the forests of Arynden to\n

Of course you didn't.|

I speak only the truth. You\n

Federica moments before you departed.|\n
She mentioned you were putting together\n
a team to fight against Arynden.|

Did she.|

I would like to assist you in this endeavor.\n

Being a royal guard, and all.|

I do, but while the queen is in\n
recovery, she will have heightened\n
security around her at all times.|\n
I am confident that she will recover\n
without my assistance.|

\s[2]
I suppose that is a fair justification.\n
I'm willing to approve your request\n
if your superiors are of a like mind.|

\s[5]
Thank you, milord. I already obtained\n
