Dialogue
  • Alteon joins you as Guest A.
  • Amadeus joins you as Guest B.

    *You are in The Rose's encampment, now breached after Warlic and Alexander's attack; you fight your way through The Rose's forces until you reach a gate, where it is guarded by Jaania's bodyguards, Ahimsa and Tipu.*

    Tipu: Halt, interlopers. You've caused enough pain and suffering today.
    Tipu: Turn away now, and even with the weight of your sins, you may enjoy the world to come.
    Alteon: Ahimsa, Tipu... You are guests to our lands so—
    Ahimsa: No. These are not your lands. Nor is Greenguard for that matter.
    Ahimsa: Lady Jaania will save all of Lore, regardless of petty political boundaries.
    Amadeus: We don't have time for this.
    <Character>: Amadeus, wait.
    <Character>: Ahimsa, Tipu, how exactly is Jaania going to save Lore?
    Tipu: We don't owe you answers.
    Ahimsa: But— Maybe we can convince them? Perhaps they will see the errors of their ways.
    Tipu: They've had all the opportunity in the world to turn back.

    *Tipu nods her armored head to Ahimsa as they reveal Jaania's "good" intentions.*

    Tipu: But fine, sister. they may have one final chance.
    Ahimsa: Lady Jaania intends to save Lore by controlling the Mana Core itself.
    Ahimsa: She will control the flow of magic, directing it where it is needed, pulling it from where it is not.
    Ahimsa: In this way, she will protect everything— everyone!
    <Character>: That's insanity. That won't solve the world's problems!
    <Character>: There will still be pain and tragedy and suffering. Just without magic! And what of those whose way of life depends on magic?
    Tipu: Yes. All the other myriad ways the inhabitants of Lore hurt each other will still be there.
    Tipu: Akriloth would have still emerged from Maar during our festival, betrayed by our ancestors, enraged with vengeance.
    Tipu: But without magic, it would have stopped there. We could have stopped him there.
    Tipu: He would not have turned Maar to glass.
    Tipu: As for the others, they will find their way, just as The Rose has.
    <Character>: ...
    Ahimsa: Think about it!
    Ahimsa: Without magic, Caitiff, Sepulchure, and so many other villains would have caused so much less harm!
    <Character>: It's not that simple!
    Tipu: Isn't it?
    <Character>: If magic were simply some kind of weapon, or a tool to be used, then yes, maybe I'd agree with you.
    <Character>: But it isn't!
    <Character>: From the smallest speck of dust to our very souls, magic touches all things, whether we want it to or not.
    <Character>: And if Jaania controls the Mana Core, then she controls it all.
    <Character>: I don't trust her with that kind of power. I wouldn't trust anyone with that.
    Ahimsa: We do. We believe in Jaania.
    Tipu: We will not let you pass.
    Amadeus: They're stalling for time. With every word, Jaania and Akanthus get farther away.
    <Character>: ...You're right, Amadeus.
    <Character>: I'm sorry, Ahimsa, Tipu. But we have to stop them.
    Tipu: So be it.
    Ahimsa: For Maar! For the future of Lore!

  • Battle! - begins battle with Ahimsa and Tipu.
  • Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
  • Run Away! - returns to Outpost Yeden.

    *Ahimsa and Tipu, now wounded, kneel in defeat, however, they are not willing to give up.*

    <Character>: Please, stop! You're badly wounded! Do you really trust Jaania so much that you're willing to die for her ideals?
    Tipu: We were lost for so long after we escaped Maar. Lady Jaania gave us something to hope for again.
    Ahimsa: Of course we are.

    *Zvezdana and her Ignominious regroups with you, your dragon, Alteon, and Amadeus; scene pans left to show Vseslava, Ostromir, Alexander, and Warlic also regrouping with you and your allies; the sight of the Magesterium being your ally causes Ahimsa and Tipu's words to become more tense.*

    Tipu: I see now. All your pretty words and the truth comes out.
    Tipu: Pawns of the Magesterium.
    Tipu: How the mighty have fallen.
    Ahimsa: Stand strong, sister. We may be beat, but—

    *Suddenly, a blue magical beam blasts through Ahimsa and Tipu's heads, killing them; you become surprised.*

    <Character>: What—

    *You turn around to reveal that Zvezdana was the one who killed Ahimsa and Tipu.*

    Zvezdana: It was clear they would not surrender. You heard their words, Hero.
    <Character>: But we could have—
    Zvezdana: Could have what? Spent hours debating philosophy and politics?
    Zvezdana: And what of the rest of The Rose? All those you cut down to get here?
    Zvezdana: There will be time to reflect on the dead after the battle is won.
    <Character>: ...
    Alteon: Come on, <Character>. We have to press on.
    Amadeus: Agreed.

    *Warlic and Alexander are at the gate as Warlic thinks how they will get through it.*

    Warlic: It's magically protected, but I do think we'll be able to get through. Jaania must be focusing the majority of her power elsewhere.
    Alexander: I'll take care of it.

    *Alexander melts through the gate.*

    <Dragon>: I could have done that... | *Slightly jealous grumble*

    *After Alexander melts the gate, you and your allies find a massive wooden platform known as The Scaffold—The Rose's transportation to descend into the Fissure.*

    Warlic: So this is how we descend...
    <Character>: ...Right. Jaania and Akanthus have had enough of a head start.
    <Character>: Let's keep going.

    *Scene cuts to black.*

    Other information
  • Pop-up headlines during the quest:
    quote:

  • Amadeus: "Our job is to cut a path through the camp. Let's get to it."
  • Alteon: "I knew The Rose drew many to its cause, but to think so many would follow Jaania this far..."
  • Alteon: "There was discontent at the root of all this. Discontent that I failed to see."
  • Amadeus: "Don't let your sentimentality affect your sword arm."
  • Alteon: "You're right, Amadeus. I can't afford to lose focus now."
  • Amadeus: "It's too quiet. Did they really not leave behind a rearguard?"
