## Green units in the town, defeated by Renoart and his soldiers

\g[Village]
\f[2|Renoart]
\s[2]
Everyone, fan out! We need to take control\n
of the town as quickly as possible.|\n
Once we have Lord Claudin as a hostage,\n
we can force him to open up the northern\n
border for our full-scale invasion.|

\f[6|SoldierM-0]\fc[6|Avilion]\name[6|Soldier]

\s[5]
What about the townspeople?|

\s[2]
Make sure none of them manage to leave\n
town. We can't afford for any of them\n
to relay the situation westward.|\n
... Or southward for that matter.|

\s[6]
Yes, sir!|
\s[-2]

## Intro 2
\g[Chamber]
\f[5|Claudin]\w[16]\b[5|2]
\s[5]
Huff... Huff... Huff...|
\s[-2]

\f[1|Childebert]\m[1|2]\w[4]
\s[2]
Lord Claudin! Please, do not exert yourself\n
to this extent! Your illness weakens you...|

\s[5]\m[5|5]\b[5|0]
Damn this sickness of mine! If only I\n
had been born without this plague,\n
things right now would be different.|

\s[2]
... My lord, there is no use dwelling\n
on past instances we have no power over.|

\s[5]
I know, Childebert, but it frustrates\n
me so that I am barely above thirty but\n
perform like a man in his seventies...|\n
Bah... What is the state of the town?|

\s[2]\r[2]
Not good... Avilion's soldiers have already\n
broken past the town guard... Without our\n
real soldiers here, we stand no chance.|

\s[5]
Their attack on the eastern naval front...\n
It was a feint, to lure our soldiers away\n
from their real target: the northern border.|

\s[2]\r[2]
Still, it is possible Brunhilda survived and\n
relayed our plight to the Merovin Alliance.|\n
There could be reinforcements coming.|

\s[5]
Indeed...\b[5|2] We can only hope at this point.|

## Scene 1
# Zoom on where Dorin is staying currently
\g[Inn]
\r[5]\f[5|Villager_TavernM]\r[6]\f[6|Villager_BarkeepF]\w[32]
\f[2|Dorin]\m[2|3]\w[4]
\s[3]
Huh? What's going on?|
\s[-2]

\r[5]\r[6]
\s[5]
Soldiers from up north... They're\n
demanding everyone stay indoors.|

\s[3]
What? North... Avilion?|

\s[6]
Looks that way from their armor...|

\s[5]
Guess we'll have to close up for the evening.|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]\f[6|nil]

\s[3]
Avilion isn't my problem to deal with...\n
But if they're going to try and stop me\n
from continuing my journey, then I'll\n
have to deal with them eventually. Hmm...|
\s[-2]

## Zoom in on south west
## Cavaliers ride in, drop off Pellinore and Helizabel
\g[TownGate]
\f[2|Pellinore]\f[1|Escanor]\w[8]\f[5|Helizabel]\f[6|Lunete]
\s[1]
How was that, Lord Pellinore?|

\s[2]
... Better, thank you.|

\s[5]
I can not say the same for the\n
state of the Lord Claudin's estate...\n
Avilion's soldiers are crawling all|\n
over the place. There is no telling\n
what they may have done to Lord Claudin.|

\s[2]
We should move to rout them then.|

\s[6]
What of the townspeople though? There\n
is no doubt we may find capable fighters\n
willing to help drive back Avilion.|

\s[1]
I second that notion. ... Not that I\n
think we can't handle it on our own,\n
but it would be easier with help.|

\s[2]
Then we should investigate the local area\n
as well. Lunete, ride eastward to look for\n
others. Everyone else, let's move northward.|

\s[5]
Keep your wits about you, everyone. If\n
you find yourself facing a foe too strong,\n
allow my magic to be of assistance.|
\s[-2]

\w[16]

\f[1|nil]\f[6|nil]

\s[2]
Do you have any orders for me, Eliza?|

\s[5]
Pelly, you are in command, not me.\n
Lead as you see fit, just take care\n
not to expose yourself to close\n
combat with your bow equipped.|

\s[2]
Right... That's where the knife comes in.\n
Where did you learn to wield one anyway?|

\s[5]
... We can discuss that later. Come on.|
\s[-2]

## Everyone moves into position

## Battle start

## Turn 1
\f[3|Lunete]
\s[3]
That inn... Hmm... Normally they sell things\n
like spirits and ale, but sometimes you can\n
gather good information from the locals inside.|
\s[-2]

## Turn 1 Enemy
\f[5|Renoart]
\s[5]
Huh? What's that commotion?|
\s[-2]

\f[1|ArcherM-1]\fc[1|Avilion]\name[1|Archer]\m[1|2]
\w[4]
\s[2]
Captain, reinforcements from the south!|

\s[5]
What? This quickly!? How... Damn it,\n
we need to force them back. Move!\n
Don't let anyone near the Manor!|
\s[-2]

## Turn 2 PC
## Crioxe & Galehaut arrive
\g[Town]
\f[1|Galehaut]\m[1|2]\w[4]
\s[2]
Avilion soldiers!? What are they\n
doing across the border? This can't be\n
good... The war has begun, hasn't it?|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]\w[16]
\f[5|Galehaut]\w[8]
\f[2|Crioxe]
\s[2]
Something wrong, Galehaut?|

\s[5]
Yes, those are foreign soldiers on Lord\n
Claudin's land... Given the bodies strewn\n
in the streets, this is an invasion.|

\s[2]
Hold on, an invasion? That sounds like war.|

\s[5]
Right. Avilion has declared war on Merovin.|

\s[2]
Avilion is... er... Our enemy then?|

\s[5]
... Not exactly. It's complicated.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
I meant more because I'm still trying to\n
figure out the names of these kingdoms.|\n
This is Merovin, right? I keep forgetting.|

\s[5]
Oh right, your amnesia. Yes, this is\n
Merovin. The Hreidmar province, governed\n
by Lord Claudin. Avilion is our foe.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Then they're my mark. Back me up?|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
I was going to ask you the same thing.\n
Hit them fast, hit them hard!|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
I don't know any other way, haha.|

Yes. I have... I have to find her. And I'm\n

You lot plan to fight against Avilion?\n
Good luck with that, they've got to be\n
the best equipped army in all of Prydain.|\n
... Still, if you're serious, you should\n
visit the local armory. The guy in charge\n
doesn't have anything special in supply but...|\n
I'll bet if you bring him something that\n
needs reinforcing, he can do it for you.|\n
I'm not sure about the durability of\n
those sorts of weapons though...|

strong! We already beat the town guard!|

## Only Renoart left
\g[Town]
\f[2|Pellinore]\f[5|Helizabel]
\s[5]
It seems only the leader remains...\n
Brother, we must defeat him to\n
secure Lord Claudin's safety.|

\s[2]
Maybe he can be reasoned with, Helizabel.\n
Let me speak with him, he must know\n
this battle is over at this point.|

\s[5]
Your words may fall on deaf ears, Pelly.|

\s[2]
... I know, but if I can spare one\n
more life, I'd like to at least try.|

## Pellinore vs Renoart
\f[6|Pellinore]\f[1|Renoart]
\s[6]
Sir, it's over. Throw down your sword,\n
there's no need to continue the violence.|

\s[1]
... Maybe you're right, but my pride\n
as a soldier won't let me surrender.|

\s[6]
Why are you even here? Avilion has no\n
reason to be this aggressive with us.|\n
What is your queen trying to gain?|

\s[1]
Beats me, it's not my business to know.\n
Only to fight. Ready your weapon, kid.|

\s[6]
Sigh...|

I'm here to get rid of you.\n
What do you think?|

\s[1]\e[1|1]
Heh... I like you, kid. A duel\n
to the death then. Draw your blade.|

\s[6]
... Just need to remember my training...|

Well then, kid, finish the job... Do it.|

you can't hesitate on the final blow!|

## Outro 1

\s[1]
Lord Claudin? Lord Claudin, are you in here?|

\s[2]
It's Pellinore and Helizabel of\n
Fafnir; we've come to your aid.|
\s[-2]

\w[16]
\f[6|Childebert]\m[6|5]\w[4]
\s[5]
Fafnir soldiers? Thank the stars above.\n
Yes, this way. Lord Claudin had another\n
attack, he is resting in the other room.|

\s[2]
Is his condition... Worsening?|

\s[5]
I would not say it is improving, but\n
it flares up usually around this time\n
every year. He will recover eventually.|\n
These are his unfortunate circumstances.|

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

## Outro 2
\g[Chamber]
\f[1|Childebert]\m[1|2]\w[8]
\s[2]
Lord Claudin, all is well. Allies\n
from Fafnir managed to come to our aid.|

\f[6|Claudin]\b[6|1]
\s[6]
Huff... I see... Huff... I thank you...|
\s[-2]

\f[3|nil]
\f[5|Childebert]
\f[1|Pellinore]\m[1|2]\w[4]
\f[1|Helizabel]
\s[2]
Lord Claudin... Are you certain you\n
will be all right? Your condition is...|

\s[6]
Huff... It looks bad, I know... Huff...\n
But, this happens every year... Huff...\n
Must be... something in the air... Huff...|

\s[1]
We should make our report quick then,\n
so you can get back to resting.|\n
The Alliance has decided to strike\n
back at Avilion. ... Not that we had\n
much of a choice given this attack.|

\s[5]
Right, they made their move likely\n
before our meeting was announced. They\n
were never waiting for our response.|

\s[6]
Huff... What is the... current situation...?|

\s[2]
Lords Urien, Sebile, and Kaheden are\n
moving to secure the Lyngh border, while\n
Lady Pelles is bolstering her own border.|

\s[6]
Why... So many... In Lyngh?|

\s[1]
I imagine Lady Sebile is concerned\n
of the largest invading force marching\n
through that passageway.|

\s[5]
She may be on to something, but we must\n
ride north as quickly as possible.\n
That is where these soldiers came from.|

\s[2]
The northern border castle?\n
It's under siege?|

\s[6]
It... very well may be... Huff...\n
Avilion attacked from the east...\n
Drawing many of my soldiers there...|\n
Soon after-- Cough cough! Ack..|

\s[5]
I can explain what happened, Lord\n
Claudin. Please, rest for now.|

\s[6]
I cannot do that, Childebert. I need...\n
my strength to return to me now...!|

\s[1]
So you think the eastern attack was to\n
lure your soldiers and weaken the\n
nothern border's hold on the area...|\n
We have no time to waste, then. Come,\n
Pellinore, we make for the north.|

\s[2]
Right!|

\s[6]
Hold... Take Childebert with you...\n
His staff will come in handy... It\n
can patch up your wounds easily...|

\s[2]
Don't you need him here to tend to you?|

\s[5]
There are others who tend to Lord Claudin,\n
and my staff does little to ease his pain.|

\s[6]
That's right... Go... Who knows what\n
the state of the northern border is now...|
\s[-2]

\f[6|nil]
\w[16]

\s[5]
... I will put him to bed, then meet\n
you all outside. Is that all right?|

\s[1]
Yes, just be quick about it, please.|

\f[2|Francis]\f[1|Elaine]\f[5|Galehaut]
\s[2]
Come on, Dad! I can help, trust me!|

\s[5]
Best way you can help is by staying\n
here and taking care of your mother.|

\s[1]
Well, I agree with half of that, Galehaut.\n
You aren't ready for something like this,\n
Francis. War is... a dangerous endeavor.|

\s[2]
Hah... Fine. Whatever. Just...\n
Make sure you come back, Dad.|

I don't know what I'd do if something\n
happened... And I wasn't there to protect--|

\s[2]
Shh shh, no more thinking like that.\b[5|0]\n
Everything will be fine, you'll fight,\n
and then you'll return home to us both.|\n

\s[5]
He did ask to... Although I don't know why.|

\s[6]\e[6|1]
Everywhere I go, battle seems to follow.\n
The least I can do is help fight too.|

\s[2]
Just in case you think you still owe\n
me for helping you earlier--|

\s[6]\e[6|0]
Nah, it's not that. Just... I have to\n
fight. Not just for your sake, but\n
for my own as well. I know it's... odd.|
\s[-2]

\m[5|4]\r[4]
\w[16]

\s[4]
I am a bit concerned about that\n
amnesia you mentioned before, though.\n
You sure you're going to be all right?|

\s[6]
Hmm? Oh right... That...\e[6|1] Yeah, don't\n
worry about me. Just help me remember\n
where we are, and I'll be all set.|
\s[-2]

\f[6|nil]
\w[16]
