Chapter 7

## Ch7
## Intro 1
\g[Chamber]
\loc[Reginn]
\f[5|Urien]\f[2|Roche]\f[1|Nontron]
\s[2]
Lord Urien, it appears Lady Eden's\n
plans with Avilion fell through.|\n
The border is under control of the\n
Merovian Alliance once again.|

\s[5]
... I assume Pellinore is\n
responsible for this as well?|

\s[2]
Most likely, yes.|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
How did he know about Eden's plans...\n
We were certain he would rush to\n
Reginn to negotiate Lady Sebile.|\b[5|0]\n
At this point, though, he holds nearly\n
all of the cards. Including my son.|

\s[1]
Lord Urien, what do you want us to do?\n
We haven't heard anything from Avilion,\n
so we don't know what their plans are.|

\s[5]
Then we can't count on them. If Pellinore\n
wants a fight, let him have it. I would\n
hope he leaves Ywain alive, but...|\e[5|2]\n
If not, he will have forced my hand.|\n
Call in the mercenaries we have, we're\n
going on the offensive. His army should\n
be somewhere near the Gram mountains.|

\s[2]
Allow me to command our men, we--|

\s[5]
No, Roche, I need you here. I\n
have other plans for you.\n
Nontron, you will take command.|

\s[1]
Understood, milord...|
\s[-2]

## Intro 2
\g[Fortress]
\f[2|Dindrane]\f[1|Madoc]\f[5|Lansalot]
\s[2]
Ah, Lansalot, you're here. That must\n
mean you've heard news of our...|

\s[5]
Blunders? That and then some. However,\n
I'm not here to clean up your problems.|

\s[1]
Then what do you want?|

\s[5]
The Princess. Madoc, you were supposed\n
to be tracking her. What happened?|

\s[1]
Trail went cold. One of my men caught wind\n
of her near eastern Heior, but some army\n
swooped in and ripped into my men.|\e[1|2]\n
No thanks to Avilion's soldiers, I'd add.|

\s[2]
Well, don't look at me. Any under my\n
command are instructed to take orders\n
from any general, not just from me.|

\s[5]
If you were to just combine your mercenaries\n
into the Avilion army, these things don't--|

\s[1]
No. I keep my autonomy, you know this.\n
Hell, the only reason I'm even in your\n
little circle is due to the Empress.|

\s[2]
Don't forget about Reince.\n
She had a hand in it as well.|

\s[1]
... ... ...|
\s[-2]

\f[1|nil]
\w[8]

\s[5]
As for you Dindrane? Any excuses?|

\s[2]\e[2|2]
That Heior girl likely betrayed us.|\n
The border pass was a trap - Merovin's\n
soldiers were there to swarm before\n
we even got past the damn fortress.|

\s[5]
Merovin... The Alliance is led by\n
a youth named Pellinore, correct?|

\s[2]
Correct. And I'll not underestimate\n
him again. He killed my lieutenant, as\n
well as many of my soldiers. Good men.|

\s[5]
I'll deal with him. The Empress wants\n
both you and Madoc to return to Avilion.|

\s[2]\m[2|2]
What? But Pellinore is--|

\s[5]
Look at yourself. You're all riled up.\n
Acting rashly will only get you hurt\n
or worse. We need a new strategy.|
\s[-2]

\f[1|Madoc]
\s[1]
Agreed. We all thought Merovin would fall\n
to a stiff breeze with Lord Urien's actions,\n
but the Alliance proved stronger.|\n
Which doesn't bode well for Kameloth.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
... Fine. What do you plan on doing, then?|

\s[5]
The princess is likely deep in Merovin\n
somewhere. I'm to locate her and return.|

\s[1]
What about the Alliance? You\n
said you'd take care of them.|

\s[5]
In due time. My Ashen Knights and I will\n
assess the situation before taking action.|\n
Only if conditions are favorable will\n
we strike at the Merovian Alliance.|

\s[2]
... Leave Pellinore alive for\n
my sake. I want my vengeance.|

\s[5]
... Fine.|
\s[-2]

## Scene 1
## Quinn & Hywel
\g[Camp-Night]
\f[5|Pellinore]\w[16]
\f[2|Quinn]\f[1|Hywel]
\s[2]
Pellinore right? We're back from scouting.|

\s[5]
Wait, Quinn? You were scouting...?|

\s[1]\e[1|1]
You'd be surprised at how\n
effective he is without being\n
able to see anything, Bossman-2!|

\s[2]\b[2|1]
That's not the compliment you think it is.|

\s[1]\m[1|1]\e[1|0]
Oop! Sorry, sorry!|

\s[5]
Hold on, Bossman-2..?|

\s[2]\b[2|0]
Anyway, I didn't sense Avilion's\n
soldiers anywhere. We won't have to\n
deal with them for the time being.|

\s[1]
However, Reginn is deploying soldiers\n
from the castle and the surrounding forts.|\n
So... Looks Lord Urien isn't interested\n
in any sort of negotiations with us.|

\s[5]
I can't think of any reason for that...|

\s[1]\e[1|1]
He knows how strong we are, of course!\n
I mean, we've beaten his soldiers before,\n
and we fought off Avilion and Heior!|\n
We're unstoppable!|

\s[2]\b[2|2]
Are you always this naive?\b[2|0] Use your\n
brain, Hywel. The man is planning\n
something big. We need to stay vigilant.|

\s[1]\e[1|0]
Always spoiling my fun...|

\s[2]
Come on, let Pellinore prepare.|

\s[1]
All right, all right. See you!|
\s[-2]

\s[5]
Right. Thank you, you two.|

\s[1]\e[1|1]
Of course!|

\s[2]
Just don't screw this up.\n
Gold's no use to me dead.|

## Break

## Scene 1
## Only Hywel
\g[Camp-Night]
\f[5|Pellinore]\w[16]
\f[2|Hywel]
\s[2]
Hey, Bossman-2! I'm back!|

\s[5]
Hywel-- wait, Bossman-2?|

\s[2]
Do you not like that? Mr. Pellinore, then?|

\s[5]
... Just Pellinore is fine.|

\s[2]
Gotcha! Anyway, we've scouted the area; no\n
Avilion soldiers in sight.However, Reginn\n
soldiers were spotted deploying from the south.|

\s[5]
Lord Urien prefers to fight rather\n
than try and negotiate... Hmm.|

\s[2]
I guess? I don't know, doesn't\n
make much sense to me. Maybe\n
he knows he can't win against us.|

\s[5]
I wouldn't be so sure, Hywel.\n
Lord Urien is no slouch, he very\n
well could be planning something.|

\s[2]
I guess. Well, I'll let you\n
figure out our battle strategy.\n
Let me know if you need me!|

\s[5]
Of course. Thank you, Hywel.|
\s[-2]

## Scene 1
## No Hywel
\f[5|Pellinore]\w[16]
\f[2|Anglesey]
\s[2]
Pellinore, our scouts have returned from\n
the Gram mountains. Reginn is deploying its\n
army. We're finally fighting Lord Urien.|

\s[5]
I see... Any news of Avilion?|

\s[2]
Only that they haven't been seen since\n
our victory in Heior. I doubt they'll\n
be here for this upcoming fight.|

\s[5]
Hmm... Then why is Lord Urien refusing\n
to make negotiations? It's strange.|

\s[2]
I don't like it. He may be planning\n
something, so we need to be prepared.|

\s[5]
That's a good point...\n
Thank you, Anglesey.|

## Scene 1 Resume

\f[2|Helizabel]\f[1|Ywain]
\s[1]
Pellinore, I'll take the lead here.\n
I know my father better than anyone.|

\s[5]
But, Ywain, part of our plan hinges on\n
making your father think you're a hostage.\n
You should remain in the back so--|

\s[1]\e[1|2]
My father's made no attempts to 'rescue'\n
me or negotiate a trade deal. Even if he's\n
still unaware of our plan, he doesn't care.|

\s[2]
Ywain, this is not the time to veer\n
off of our designated plans!|

\s[1]
Listen, I know you two have a great\n
and loving relationship with your\n
father, but... I don't have that.|\n
I was on board at first partially\n
because I wanted to see how he'd\n
react to his eldest son taken captive.|\n
And he's done nothing.|

\s[5]
... I'm sorry. I wish--|

\s[1]
Yeah, I do too.|
\s[-2]

\f[1|nil]
\w[8]

\s[2]
... Pellinore, we can't afford to\n
let Ywain's emotions mess up this\n
plan. I know he's your friend, but--|

\s[5]
Remember, Eliza, we still have\n
Kameloth coming to our aid.|\n
Besides, part of me agrees with\n
Ywain. Lord Urien would have at\n
least reached out to us by now.|

\s[2]
The fact that his soldiers haven't\n
attacked us since Otr should tell\n
you that. Pellinore, please--|

\s[5]
Eliza, if we hold back Ywain, he'll\n
end up doing something rash and could\n
put us in even more danger.|

\m[2|2]\e[2|2]
\s[2]
Then tie him down! I--|
\s[-2]

\f[6|Guinivere]\name[6|Vanore]
\s[6]
Er... If I may interject.|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]\w[4]\f[1|Pellinore]

\s[2]
Lady Vanore, this is not the time.|

\s[6]
Please, just allow me to speak.\n
I will return to camp afterwards.|

\s[2]
... Fine.|

\s[1]
What did you want to say?|
\s[-2]

\m[6|5]\w[5]
\s[5]
Lady Helizabel, I understand your\n
frustrations. You have a perfect\n
plan in place and it should work.|\n
However, your plan relies on hiding\n
information, and we have no way to\n
ensure that it is still kept unknown.|\n
This may be the best time to reveal\n
your trump card. Consider the situation.|\n
This is the first time you have fought\n
Reginn's soldiers directly, correct?|\n
In their eyes, you are an invading\n
force who has taken their lord. They\n
will fight with everything they have.|\n
The battle will be long and arduous.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
... And you think revealing that Ywain doesn't\n
support Lord Urien will affect that.|

\s[5]
Exactly. Shaking the resolve of\n
the enemy soldiers and making\n
them question their loyalty.|

\s[1]
... "Who are we fighting for?\n
Are we doing the right thing?"|

\s[2]
Damn it. I never considered that...|

\s[1]
Neither did I... I just wanted\n
to allow Ywain some closure.|

\s[2]
Well, I see now why you're an\n
advisor to Princess Guinivere.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Well, I do my best. Glad to\n
be of assistance. Good luck!|
\s[-2]


## Turn 1
## Mark & Camille
\g[Mountains]
\f[2|Mark]\f[5|Camille]
\s[2]
Camille, stay close. Given the recent\n
rainfall, visibility is low.|

\s[5]
Come on, Mark, I know that. I'm a lot\n
smarter than you give me credit.|

\s[2]\b[2|2]
It's not that I think you're\n
not intelligent...\b[2|0] These are the same\n
people who killed Lord Kaheden.|

\s[5]
... Oh. You're right...|

\s[2]
Reginn is a dangerous foe, I just\n
want you to make it out of here alive.|

\s[5]
Right, sorry. I... I'll stay close by.\n
I don't want you getting hurt either.|

\s[2]
I can't guarantee that. But, I will\n
make sure they pay for their crimes.|\m[2|2]\n
For Lord Kahaden! And Lady Brangaine!|
\s[-2]

## Turn 1
## Mark only
\g[Mountains]
\f[5|Mark]
\s[5]
... Lord Kahaden. I hope you're\n
watching. Today, we avenge your death.|\e[5|2]\n
Reginn will pay for their crimes.|
\s[-2]

## Turn 1
## Camille only
\g[Mountains]
\f[5|Camille]
\s[5]
Reginn...\b[5|2] Never thought I'd set foot\n
in here again after what happened...|\b[5|0]\n
Lord Kahaden, watch over me, I'll\n
make sure you're able to rest easy.|
\s[-2]

## Gate Talk
## Hywel
\g[Plains]
\f[5|Pellinore]
\s[5]
Wait, what are those... massive gates?|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Ywain]
\s[2]
Part of Reginn's defense system. The idea is\n
that they force you move in a snake-like path\n
towards the castle if you can't open them.|\n
Which would make it fairly easy for our\n
soldiers to then swarm you by using the\n
gates themselves. They're usually left open.|

\s[5]
But closed now due to... The current circumstances.|

\s[2]
Correct.|

\s[5]
So, how do we get them open? Do regular keys work?|

\s[2]
No, that would defeat the purpose of them\n
acting as a preventative measure. However,\n
I can open them myself, as I have the key.|
\s[-2]

\f[1|Hywel]
\s[1]
Oh, I can too! I er... May have\n
swiped a copy at some point...|

\s[2]\b[2|2]
... Hywel, are you serious...|

\s[1]\e[1|1]
Hey, it worked out in this\n
scenario, didn't it?|

\s[2]\b[2|0]
You're giving those to me as\n
soon as we're done here today.|
\s[2]

\f[2|nil]
\m[1|1]\r[1]
\s[1]
Wait, come on, bossman!|
\s[-2]

\s[5]
... Well at least that clears up that.|

\f[2|Nontron]\w[16]\f[6|Roche]\m[6|5]\w[4]
\s[2]
Captain Roche, you're... leaving?|

\s[5]
All part of Lord Urien's plans. Should you\n
fall here, the enemy will make their way\n
inside the castle. Then we corner them.|

\s[2]
Should... I fall?|

\s[5]
Nontron, we must plan for the worst\n
case scenario. They already have\n
Ywain, we must be vigilant.|

\s[2]
Right... Of course, my apologies.|

\s[5]
Hopefully, the plan isn't necessary...|

Captain! How far from Reginn are we?|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Nenyve]
\s[2]
Not far, we should reach\n
the shores within the hour.|

\s[5]
Excellent news. From there,\n
we can meet up with Lord\n
Pellinore and his army.|
\s[-2]

\w[16]

\s[5]
Gwladys, are you prepared?|
\s[-2]
\w[16]

\f[1|Gwladys]
\s[1]\e[1|1]
Of course! I've trained my whole\n
life for this moment, Father!|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Hah, well your enthusiasm is appreciated,\n
but don't forget that this is no joke.|\e[5|0]\n
We're in a civil war with Reginn, the\n
battlefield won't give you second chances.|

\s[1]\e[1|0]
Right... Sorry.|

\s[5]
Nothing to apologize for, I just want\n
you to be prepared. Lord Urien isn't\n
going to make this easy for us...|

\s[2]
I don't envy the lot of you.\n
... Granted, this whole war isn't\n
making my life much easier though.|

\s[5]
The offer for you to join us\n
still stands, Captain Nenyve.|\n
With that crossbow of yours,\n
you could be a key factor in\n
defeating the Reginn army.|

\s[1]
Yeah, Nenyve! Are you sure you're not coming?|

\s[2]
... I would prefer to avoid things like\n
that. But, if the pay is sufficient...|

\s[5]
I can certainly speak with Lord Lord to\n
compensate you for your fishing losses\n
as well as getting a contract written.|

\s[2]
... We're here.|

visibility isn't the best out here.|

\s[2]
Right. Thank you again for your\n
assistance, Captain, as well as\n
helping us on such short notice.|

\s[5]
You came with gold, I had no reason to refuse.|

\s[1]
Are you considering joining us still?|

\s[5]
... Maybe. I'll catch up with you.|

Great!|

Lord Pellinore!|
\s[-2]

\w[8]
\f[2|Pellinore]
\s[2]
Sir Brychan? What are you doing here?|

\s[5]
Your father, Lord Lot, wished to send\n
reinforcements against Lord Urien's army.\n
So, here I am, along with Gwladys.|\n
We do not have... many spare soldiers.|

\s[2]
I imagine... We need to keep the\n
border in Hreidmar secured.|\n
It's good to see you, though.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Likewise, milord.|
\s[-2]

\e[5|0]
\s[5]
Er... Your father wanted me to ask\n
how your horse training was going.|

\s[2]
N-not very well... Anlach is still\n
making me a little bit uncomfortable.|

\s[5]
I see... Well, we will need to\n
work on that in the future.|\n
Anyway, we can discuss this later.|

\s[2]
Yes... Once we get a moment of down time.|

Lady Helizabel!|

\w[8]
\f[2|Helizabel]
\s[2]
Sir Brychan?\e[2|1] Well this is a pleasant surprise.\n
And please, Eliza is fine, I've told you before.|

\s[5]
Of course, my apologies Eliza.|

\s[2]
Did my Father send you?|

\s[5]
Indeed, as support for the battles\n
against Lord Urien's rebel army.|\n
My daughter and I are here to fight.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Gwladys too? Isn't she...|

\s[5]
Young? Yes, but she's been training hard\n
these pasts months given Avilion's aggression.\n
The girl is as ready as she will be.|

\s[2]
But I imagine you will shadow her.|

\s[5]
... I am her father, after all.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
I'll be sure to look out for her\n
as well.\e[2|0] Now, we have a battle\n
to win and a traitor to arrest.|

\s[5]
That we do...\b[5|2] Lord Urien...\n
You disappoint us all.|

Brychan?|
\s[-2]

\f[6|Brychan]\m[6|5]\e[5|1]\w[8]
\s[5]
Anglesey! Greetings.|
\s[-2]

\s[2]
What are you doing here?|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Lord Lot sent reinforcements to help\n
defeat Lord Urien's rebellion.|\n
Most of our soldiers went on foot,\n
Gwladys and I arrived on boat to\n
join the main army as fast as possible.|

\s[2]
Oh! That's fantastic news. With our\n
combined might, Reginn shouldn't be\n
able to sustain a lengthy siege.|

\s[5]
That's the plan... Hopefully it doesn't\n
come to that, though. I'm confused why\n
Lord Urien refuses to surrender...|

\s[2]
That's not something I can answer.|
\s[-2]

Father!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Brychan]
\s[2]
What is it, Gwladys?|

\s[5]
I've spoken to Lord Pellinore\n
and the others. They're this way.|

\s[2]
Ah, excellent work then.\n
I'll follow your lead.|
\s[-2]

## Recruit Gwladys

\s[5]
Lord Pellinore! Pelly!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Pellinore]
\s[2]
Gwladys! What are you doing here?|

\s[5]
Lord Lot send Father and I, along\n
with more soldiers, here to help\n
defeat Lord Urien's rebellion.|\n
Father and I left early, the rest\n
of the troops should arrive tomorrow.|

\s[2]
But what about the Hreidmar border?|

\s[5]
It's mostly under control now, Avilion\n
has moved most of their forces north.|

\s[2]
A retreat? I'm surprised... But glad.\n
We dealt with them earlier in Heior.|

\s[5]
They're like rats.. scurrying in at every\n
entrance if you leave it unattended...|\n
Ahem! Anyway, we have a battle to win.|

\s[2]
That we do. Come, we follow Ywain's lead.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]\w[4]\m[5|4]\w[4]
\s[4]
Wait, Lord Ywain? ... Lord Urien's son?\n
I was under the impression\n
he was your prisoner...|

Miss Eliza!|

\w[16]

\f[1|Helizabel]\m[1|2]\w[4]
\s[2]
Gwladys? Well, isn't this a surprise.\n
My father sent you as reinforcements?|

\s[5]
He did! You... saw this coming?|

\s[2]
I have to admit, I didn't. I figured\n
keeping Avilion at bay in Hreidmar\n
would require more of our soldiers.|

\s[5]
Avilion has all but retreated from\n
that border, truth be told. We're\n
unsure what their goals are now.|

\s[2]
We can deal with them later, then.\n
You're equipped for battle?|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Of course! Ready to quash a rebellion!|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Then let's get moving!|
\s[-2]

## Recruit Gwladys
## Anglesey
\g[Hill]
\f[6|Gwladys]\m[6|5]\w[8]
\s[5]
Hey! Anglesey!|
\s[-2]
\w[8]

\f[2|Anglesey]
\s[2]
Huh? Gwladys? What are you doing here?|

\s[5]
Lord Lot sent soldiers to help reinforce\n
Pellinore's army against the rebellion.|

\s[2]
Really... I'm surprised. Is the border secure?|

\s[5]
In Hreidmar? Yep! Avilion basically retreated,\n
so we have a few soldiers left on guard duty\n
and the rest on their way here. I left early.|

\s[2]
Oh, well that's good to hear.\e[2|1]\n
Thanks for the help, then.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Of course!|
\s[-2]

## Recruit Gwladys
## Brychan
\g[Hill]
\f[6|Brychan]\m[6|5]\w[8]
\s[5]
Gwladys!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Gwladys]
\s[2]
Yes, Father?|

\s[5]
I've joined with Pellinore's army. Come,\n
the rest of the group is this way.|

\s[2]
Oh! All right, got it!|
\s[-2]

## Ywain battle
\f[6|Ywain]
\s[6]
Surprised? Don't be. Pellinore and I have\n
been working together the entire time.|\e[6|2]\n
My father is wrong, and his betrayal\n
threatens to destroy not only the Alliance,\n
but everyone who live inside of it!|\n
Any who ally with him are traitors to\n
all of Merovin! You should be ashamed.|
\s[-2]

## If Ywain battled
\g[Fort Top]
\f[2|Nontron]\w[16]
\f[6|SoldierM-1]\fc[6|Reginn]\name[6|Soldier]
\m[6|5]\w[4]
Captain Nontron... We have a report!|

\s[2]
What is it?|

\s[5]
We've located Lord Ywain...|

\s[2]\m[2|2]
W-what?! Then what are we\n
waiting for! Go, rescue him--|

\s[5]
He claims he was never taken prisoner...\n
The entire thing was a lie. He's been\n
working alongside Lord Pellinore.|

\s[2]
What? But... No! That... What?|

\s[5]
Captain, I don't know what to do...|\n
I thought we were fighting for the\n
good of Merovin... To remove the\n
Alliance's influence over us all...|

\s[2]
... Then don't. Any who question whether\n
to remain loyal to Reginn and Lord Urien\n
or the Alliance and Lord Ywain... Leave.|

\s[5]
You would take us prisoner?|

\s[2]
No. I... I myself do not know. But, I am\n
to protect this gate from any intruders.|\n
... If that includes Lord Ywain, I must\n
speak with him and know what he's thinking.|

\s[5]
Understood, Captain...|

\s[2]
Someone inform Commander Roche, he needs to know.|
\s[-2]

## Nenyve Arrive
\g[Beach]
\r[5]\f[5|Nenyve]
\s[5]
... I can still go back to the boat,\n
maybe I'm better off not being involved.|
\s[-2]

\r[5]
\s[5]
No, no, this is for the better.\n
I have to do something...\b[5|2] But, that\n
girl... She talks so damn much...|\b[5|0]\n
Hopefully I can avoid her entirely...|
\s[-2]

## Nenyve Recruiit
## Gwladys
\g[Hill]
\f[6|Gwladys]\m[6|5]\w[4]
\s[5]
Nenyve! You came!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Nenyve]
\s[2]
... Yes, I'm here; no need to\n
make a bit deal out of it.|\n
Just point me in the direction\n
of who we're facing and I'll--|

\s[5]
Ooh, we can talk strategy! Maybe I\n
should hang back with you, let you\n
get the first hit in, and then--|

\s[2]
Or, or! You could strike\n
first and I follow up.|\n
Or you go left and I go right.|

\s[5]
I mean, we could, but where's\n
the fun in that, right?|

\s[2]\b[2|1]
Right. Fun. \b[2|0]Listen, I should\n
get going... Not safe staying\n
in one place and whatnot.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Oh, good point! Right, we can\n
regroup later! See you soon!|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]
\w[8]

\s[2]\b[2|1]
... Hopefully not TOO soon.|
\s[-2]

## Nenyve Recruiit
## Brychan
\g[Hill]
\f[5|Brychan]
\s[5]
Ah ha! Captain, you decided\n
to come after all.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Nenyve]
\s[2]
... If Reginn ends up winning who\n
know what'll happen to my business.|\n
The last thing I want to be is a\n
ferry for soldiers or whatever.|

\s[5]
You're fighting so you can... Return\n
to your solitary life fishing at sea?|

\s[2]
Something wrong with that?|

\s[5]
No, it's just... Unexpected.|

\s[2]
What can I say, I'm unpredictable.\n
Anyway, I'm going to get going.\n
Good luck, stay alive; all of that.|

\s[5]
Same to you.|
\s[-2]

## Checkpoint
\g[Hill]
\f[5|Ywain]
\s[5]
Stay sharp, everyone! I know the\n
castle is within our sights, but\n
keep your wits about you!|\n
You never know what could be\n
hiding in the darkness!|
\s[-2]

## Open Gate Hywel

## Open Gate Ywain

## Talk Ywain Morfydd
\g[Hill]
\f[6|Morfydd]\w[16]
\s[6]
... Hey. Ywain. You all right?|
\s[-2]

\w[16]
\f[1|Ywain]\m[1|2]\w[4]
\s[2]
We're on a first name basis?|

\s[6]
Do you want me to call you 'Lord Ywain'?|

\s[2]
... No, I guess Ywain is fine. And\n
to answer your first question, no.|
\s[-2]

\m[6|5]\w[4]
\s[5]
Well, you're gonna have to be.\n
Because you told me the goal\n
was to bring peace to Prydain.|\n
So fair, I'm not seeing much progress.|

\s[2]\e[2|2]\m[2|2]
What the hell are you expecting!?\n
For me to snap my fingers and\n
end the war? Just like that?|

\s[5]
... No. I want a plan.|

\s[2]
A plan...?|

\s[5]
If I'm sticking my neck out for you nobles\n
and your petty little civil war for rights or\n
whatever, at least explain what comes next.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
... After we defeat my father's army, we\n
move to bolster our defenses for a\n
counter attack against Avilion's forces.|\n
Given the recent lack of aggression,\n
it's likely they've pulled back for now.|\n
So, in that timeframe, we can regroup\n
and make a proper strategy to beat them.|

\s[5]
Huh. You make it sound so simple.|

\s[2]
Things are simple when they go according\n
to plan, Morfydd. The problems arise when\n
people like my father do their own thing.|

\s[5]
So, you have a clear goal and a way\n
to achieve it. All right, good. Now\n
I feel better about my decision.|

\s[2]\b[2|1]
Is this why you bothered me?\n
So I could make you feel better?|

\s[5]
Hardly. It was for you.|

\s[2]\b[2|0]
I'm sorry?|

\s[5]
You put on a brave face, but I can see\n
the internal turmoil you're dealing with.|\n
It looks just like the many idiot bandit\n
leaders I've worked for. And they're all\n
dead. I'd prefer if you stayed above ground.|

\s[2]
Hmph. I don't know if I should feel insulted\n
being compared to a bandit leader or flattered\n
that you care about my well being.|

\s[5]
Pick whichever you want. Just\n
as long as you're level headed\n
now, I'm fine with any decision.|

\s[2]
... Thanks, Morfydd.|

\s[5]\r[5]
Thank me when we're done here.|

\f[5|Pellinore]
\s[5]
Crioxe! Slow down for a moment, please!|
\s[-2]

\w[16]
\f[1|Crioxe]\m[1|2]\w[4]
\s[2]
Hmm? What do you need, Pellinore?|

\s[5]
I just wanted to check in with you.\n
You know, given your amnesia and the way\n
things have panned out with the Alliance.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Don't worry about me, I got it all now.|\e[2|0]\n
Although, this whole betrayal thing\n
is pretty rough. But you've all handled\n
things better than I expected.|

\s[5]
But you're still certain\n
you want to fight for us?|

\s[2]
... Yeah, why wouldn't I? Do you\n
ask this to all of your allies?|

\s[5]
Well, no, but I thought because...|\n
I just thought maybe, if you got\n
your memory back, you would want\n
to fulfill other obligations and--|

\s[2]
Let me stop you right there. I said\n
I'd help, and I meant it. You don't\n
need to worry about me wandering off.|\n
And if you thought I might, I don't\n
think you should've hired me in the\n
first place. Bad business practice.|

\s[5]
... I guess you're right. It's not\n
that I had doubts, it's just because\n
all that's happened... I'm sorry.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
You've nothing to apologize for, Pellinore.|\n
I'm not offended. Don't worry, from what\n
I've seen of your army, no one here has\n
any plans to leave you high and dry.|\n
Myself included.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Thank you, Crioxe. That's good to hear.|

Oh! Miss Helizabel.\n
Yeah, I'm not dead yet.|
\s[-2]

\m[6|5]\w[4]
\s[5]
I didn't mean it like that. I'm\n
impressed if anything. Perhaps my\n
initial assessment of you was wrong.|

\s[2]
Nah, I think you were right, I'm not\n
really a full-fledged mercenary yet.|\n
But, I'm a lot better than before.|

\s[5]
I have to agree. You swing your sword\n
with more confidence than before.|\n
Truthfully, I was concerned you would\n
end up on the end of a soldier's pike\n
or the edge of a bandit's axe.|\n
I'm glad you've avoided that fate.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Hah... Can't say I didn't have\n
a couple close-calls. ... You were\n
looking out for me, weren't you?|

\s[5]
I was. You remind me a bit of my\n
brother in his younger days.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Er... Scrappy?|

\s[5]
Fearless determination. I still don't\n
know exactly why you joined us, but I'm\n
almost certain you'll achieve your goal.|

\s[2]
Oh... Well, thanks! I hope so as well.|

Huh? Oh, phew. I thought you were\n
more of Lord Urien's soldiers.|\n
This whole rebellion doesn't make\n
any sense to me... I feel like we've\n
been lied to since the start.|\n
Maybe this is because I'm just a\n
normal guy, and he's the marquess,\n
but I don't trust Avilion at all.|\n
Here, take this bow. I bought it\n

Feel free. Although, I'm in a hurry.|

Maybe this is because I'm just a\n

Why do you fight for Lord Urien?|

Hah... Your information is severely\n

\s[5]\m[5|5]
R-really?! So even you disagree with him...|\n

\s[2]
Hmm... You're not part of Lord Urien's\n
army, are you? Part of the Alliance...|\n
You know, despite how bad things have\n
gotten, Lord Urien's plan to handle\n
the bandit problem worked perfectly.|\n
I don't know if you're aware, but we\n
would deal with raids from southern\n
Reginn often. Western pirates, too.|\n
But once they were aware they would\n
be pardoned for their crimes if they\n
turned themselves in... Most did just that.|\n
People become bandits because their\n
resources are too difficult to obtain.|\n
Once you provide those people with\n
sustainability, crime drops dramatically.|\n
... Now, why this lead to the fracture\n
of the Merovian Alliance as a whole...|\n
That, I can't comment on.|

## Vs Nontron

\s[1]
So, the Alliance army is here... It doesn't\n
matter, you won't get inside of the castle.|\n
Not while I'm here standing guard! Hah!|

## Ywain vs Nontron
\f[1|Nontron]\f[6|Ywain]
\s[6]\e[6|2]
Nontron. I see where your loyalties lie.|

\s[1]
With my liege, where else would they be?|\n
Tell me, Lord Ywain, why do you not\n
follow in your own father's footsteps?|

\s[6]
It should be obvious: His actions have\n
torn the Alliance apart and threaten\n
all of us with Avilion's aggression.|\n
It doesn't matter if he thinks he's allying\n
with them; once she believes Merovin has\n
been conquered, Kameloth will be next.|\n
There is no future with Avilion at the\n
helm dictating where and how we live.|

\s[1]
Is that not how Lord Urien views the current\n
state of affairs with the Merovian Alliance?|

\s[6]
This is significantly worse. How do you\n
not see that? This is a waste of time.|\n
Get out of my way. I need to see my father.|

\s[1]
I cannot allow you access... But your\n
words do not fall on deaf ears.|\n
Should you best me, I will not try\n
and hinder your advance, nor will any\n
of my soldiers. I swear it to you.|

\s[6]
Feh, like the promise of a\n
traitor means anything to me.|
\s[-2]

## Nontron vs Mark
\f[1|Nontron]\f[6|Mark]
\s[6]
You're one of Lord Urien's dogs, aren't you?|

\s[1]
... You're from Lyngh, aren't you?|

\s[6]\e[6|2]
Lord Kahedin didn't deserve what that\n
snake Urien did to him. I'll make him\n
pay for his crime. Out of my way!|

\s[1]
I... I can't do that--|

\s[6]\m[6|6]
I SAID MOVE!!|
\s[-2]

## Hywel vs Nontron
\f[1|Nontron]\f[6|Hywel]
\s[6]
Still here, huh? I thought I\n
knew you better than that,\n
Nontron. Guess I was wrong.|

\s[1]
... You still fight for Lord Ywain, Hywel?|

\s[6]
Of course. In opposition of Lord Urien.|

\s[1]
Then we will remain enemies. I am to\n
prevent anyone's entrance to the castle.|

\s[6]\e[6|1]
Heh, good luck with that. Not a single\n
door has remained locked with me around.\n
You're just a lock yet to be picked!|
\s[-2]

## Galehaut vs Nontron
\f[1|Nontron]\f[6|Galehaut]
\s[6]
Eh? Why are you holding your spear\n
like that? You'd ought to hold it\n
tight unless you want to fall here.|

\s[1]
... Does it even matter? I mean, who's\n
to say I'm even doing the right thing?|

\s[6]
Eh? What are you saying?|

\s[1]\b[1|2]
I question what side I should be one.|\b[1|0]\n
I pledged my spear to Lord Urien a long\n
time ago when I was knighted... But I\n
don't know if his is the correct side.|

\s[6]
Then throw it down. If you don't know\n
what you're fighting for, why bother?|

\s[1]
... I can't do that.|

\s[6]
Then prepare yourself. I won't show mercy.|
\s[-2]

## Nontron defeated
\f[1|Nontron]
\s[1]
Enough! I surrender... Perhaps\n
it is I who is in the wrong here...|\n

... ... ...|

\s[2]
Well? Have you had enough, Nontron?|

\s[5]
... I just wanted to see for myself\n
if it was true. If you really had\n
turned against Lord Urien...|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
If you took some time to think about what\n
he's doing for a minute, you'd be against\n
it all too! Selling out Merovin to Avilion!?|\n
How can anyone think that makes sense?|

\s[1]
Ywain, I think she gets it...|

\s[2]
Bah. Let's go, Pellinore. With the gates\n
open it's only a matter of time before\n
we can confront my father... And end this.|

\w[16]

\s[5]
Lord Pellinore? A word of advice.|

\s[1]
Hmm? You would offer help? Why?|

\s[5]
... Despite what Lord Ywain said, I had my\n
doubts about Lord Urien before he revealed\n
his betrayal. It came as a shock to me.|\n
Even worse for Lady Laudine and Lady Baladr.|

\s[1]
Hmm... I didn't consider how his family\n
would be affected by all of this.|\n
Anyway, what was the advice?|

\s[1]
Wait, that's right, and I think we\n
saw more of those in Heior as well...|

\s[5]
All over Merovin... This can't be\n
coincidental. Something is going on.|

\s[2]
We plan to root out the problem.\n
... Come, Pellinore. It's time we face\n
Lord Urien and discover the truth.|

\s[1]
Yes... Let's go.|

\s[2]
Urien! Answer me... What are we do to now?!|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
... ... ...|

\s[2]
We have enemies at our gates,\n
Avilion fleeing for home, and\n
our soldiers failing to defend us!|\n
To make matters worse, my son is\n
still missing, and now Baladr too!|

\s[5]\b[5|0]
We will do nothing. Laudine, at this point,\n
this is my problem to solve. ... My folly.|\n
Take Elffin and Pasgen, and flee the castle.\n
This place will be a battlefield soon.|

\s[2]\e[2|2]\m[2|2]
You would ask me to flee?! Now?!\n
And abandon not only my husband,\n
but my other two remaining children!?|

\s[5]
... I received a report earlier regarding\n
Ywain. He decided to side with Pellinore,\n
and he actively fights against my cause.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Y-Ywain would... What?\n
But, you told me this choice was\n
to the benefit of all of Reginn.|\n
What reason is there for Ywain\n
to be against that choice?|

\s[5]
Maybe he doesn't agree with my methods,\n
maybe he thinks a unified Merovin is\n
to the benefit of Reginn after all.|\n
Regardless, I would need to ask him.|

\s[2]
You... You would fight our son?|

\s[5]
I would like to avoid the scenario...\n
But, if it's unavoidable, I can't--|

\s[2]
Stop. I don't want to hear another word.\n
I'll do as you wish, I'll leave with\n
the children. I just... What do I tell them?|\n
Urien, who am I supposed to support?|

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

\s[5]
Aren't you part of Nontron's group?\n
What are you doing here? Has Lord\n
Pellinore's army invaded the castle?|

\s[2]
No-- Well, I don't know, but listen!\n
Lord Ywain claims he was never a prisoner!|

\s[6]
What?|

\s[2]
He supports Lord Pellinore and the alliance...\n
and denounces what Lord Urien is doing.|

\s[5]
... If this is a plot by the Alliance,\n
it's low, even for them... But...|

\s[6]
We never did get confirmation\n
on what transpired in Otr...|

\s[2]
Commander, what are your orders?|

\s[5]
Has Lord Urien said anything yet?|

\s[2]
Not that I know of--|

\s[5]
Then the plan remains the same.\n
We wait for the signal from the castle.|
