Earth From the Well of the Water Lord's Tears in Yenghaland, you traveled West to avoid crossing the mountains to return to Battleon. While traveling in Greenguard, you meet unexpected resistance... «Scene: Greenguard Forest» «You»: *sigh* The world is ending... What am I to do? What is anyone to do without magic? ???: (from off-screen) It's «You»! Get him! If you are Chaotic (+6 or lower alignment): «You»: Magic or not, we still have to fight, it seems... «Scene: Still Greenguard. The ground is strewn with bodies of the Orcs you slew. In front of you stands an Orc Mage.» «You»: Now, tell me what you want, foul Orc. Orc Mage: Raargh... stupid Humie. You t'ink all Ulgathi foul? «You»: Every Orc I've met was foul, violent, and hateful. Orc Mage: Raargh... And what you t'ink we t'ink of Humie? Orc Mage: All you be racist... t'ink Orc have no culture, t'ink Orc brutish... Orc Mage: All you Humie kill us Orc! What you expect we do to you? Orc Mage: All t'at left of beautiful Orc in Greenguard be Gulgin Dar... «You»: Gulgin Dar? What be-- I mean, what's that? Orc Mage: Gulgin Dar be Ulgathi village... Chieftain Margu tell me get you to Gulgin Dar, but you kill my brot'ers... «You»: I'm sorry. I should have learned from the coming of The'Galin. «You»: You said your Chieftain wanted to see me? Orc Mage: Yes... Come to Gulgin Dar. Chieftain want see you. Orc Mage: My name be Grishkh. «You»: My name is «You». Once again, I apologize sincerely. Grishkh: Raargh... I not 'cept apology. I 'cept action... If you are Unified (+7 or greater alignment): «You»: Perhaps I should wait to see whom it is before I pass judgment. «Grishkh and his company of Orcs enter the scene.» Orc Mage: Well met, «You». I be hearinh great t'ings 'bout you from my Chieftain. «You»: Well met. Who are you to be seeking my presence? Grishkh: I be Grishkh, son of Grashkh. T'ese be my brot'ers. Grishkh: Our Chieftain, Margu, be telling us to get you to Gulgin Dar. «You»: Who is Gulgin Dar? Grishkh: *laughs* Gulgin Dar no being. Gulgin Dar be last Ulgathi outpost in Greenguard. Grishkh: Chieftain want see you. «You»: Why Chieftain want-- I mean, why does your Chieftain want to see me? Grishkh: I not know, but what Chieftain wants, we will be doing. Even if need force... «You»: Er... that won't be necessary! Take me to Gulgin Dar. «Scene shows «You» and Grishkh leaving to the right.» ???: (from off-screen) Oh-ho... An Ulgathi leading a Humie to Gulgin Dar? This is new... «Scene blacks out, and then fades in Gulgin Dar.» Grishkh: This be Gulgin Dar. Chieftain be in t'at long house. «You»: Thank you for leading me here, Grishkh. If you are Chaotic (+6 or lower alignment): Grishkh: Grrr... «Grishkh leaves.» «You»: Perfect. A diplomatic mistake a day keeps a hero from pay... If you are Unified (+7 or greater alignment): Grishkh: *pause* You no be like ot'er Humie. You be respecting t'e Ulgathi. Grishkh: I be respecting you, too, Humie. «Grishkh leaves.» «Scene shows you entering the long house. In the long house, an old Orc sits at a long table, waiting for «You».» «You»: Hello there. Are you Chieftain Margu? Margu: Gulak Dimargi. Yes, I am. «You»: Gulak... what? Margu: "Gulak Dimargi." It is a High Orcish way of wishing you a good morning. «You»: Well, then, Gulak Dimargi. Why did you call me-- «Culak enters.» Culak: He called you here at my request. «You»: Culak! If you are Chaotic (+6 or lower alignment): Culak: Grishkh was very upset by your slaughter of his friends. Margu: !!! Culak... Culak: Do not worry, father. This is «You», the hero of Battleon... Even if they have a few personality flaws, they will be an asset in the days to come. «You»: Once again, I apologize. I did not know that Orcs were so... civilized. Margu: And so hold many of your race. I do not blame our racial feud on you, yet you must learn to be more open-minded. «You»: Yes, sir. Now, how may I help you? If you are Unified (+7 or higher alignment): Culak: Grishkh tells me great things about your respect for our kind. For that, I, too, respect you. Margu: It seems you were right in asking «You» to come to Gulgin Dar. «You»: Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Chieftain, Culak. «You»: Now, how may I help you? Margu: I have not called you here for your help; instead, Culak requested that I offer my help to you. Margu: Kendrel of the Elani of Greenguard has made me aware of the waning magic of the world. «You»: !!! How did Kendrel know? Margu: He said that your Mage, Warlic, went to his settlement, telling the Elven magi of this fact. «You»: Ah, Warlic must be traveling to alert more than just the Archmagi. «You»: In any case, Margu, I accept your help. We must stay united in the days to come. ???: (from off-screen) Indeed, «You», indeed. «Kendrel enters.» If you are Chaotic (+6 or lower alignment): Kendrel: Yet there are those that would say that your slaughter of the Orcs would belie such a statement. «You»: Kendrel... Yet another one to berate me for my choice. I have apologized profusely at this point; will there be no end to such apologies? Kendrel: Four lives taken by your hand in cold blood and you ask for forgiveness. Margu: Calm yourself, Kendrel. No doubt Grishkh will settle the score on his own, but for now we must ready ourselves for the storm... «You»: Is there any way in which I can help? Kendrel: The Ulgathi and Elani are like you, Humie. Our survival does not rely on magic. We will not need help, for we will be able to procure our own necessities by ourselves. Margu: Kendrel... Kendrel: Sorry. As I was saying, Culak and Grishkh will go with you on your journey, and I will stay in Greenguard, helping both the Ulgathi and Elani in the days to come. Kendrel: Find a solution, «You»... and be wary that your stereotypes do not cause a premature death. «Kendrel leaves.» «You»: ... Culak: He is ever the dramatic. If you are Unified (+7 or higher alignment): Kendrel: You are a true agent of Unity in your willingness to aid all of the races of Lore in times like these. Kendrel: I, too, place my respect with you. «You»: And I in you, Kendrel. Are you absolutely certain that my help is unneeded to both the Ulgathi and the Elani of Greenguard? Margu: You need not worry, «You». The Ulgathi and Elani are like you; our survival does not rely on magic alone. Margu: Thus, Kendrel will remain behind as a diplomat between our nations; your role is far more important to the world of Lore at large. Kendrel: You will not depart alone, however; Culak and Grishkh will go with you. Margu: Find a solution, «You»; your world depends upon it. Kendrel: May the Creative Impulse guide you on your path. «You»: And you, Kendrel. «Kendrel leaves.» ««You» and Culak leave the hut. Outside, Grishkh is waiting.» If you are Chaotic (+6 or lower alignment): Grishkh: You be bringing dishonor on my house. Grishkh: I be avenging my brot'ers! Culak: Grishkh! «You» is a guest of my father's! Grishkh: But he be bringing dishonor, and I be having my chance for vengeance! 1 BATTLE: Orc Mage Full Heal «You»: I have spared you, Grishkh; I need you in the days to come. Grishkh: *huff* *puff* I be not helping with my will. Only t'e will of t'e Chieftain rules my actions from now... Grishkh: When t'is be over, I will deliver my family's honor. If you are Unified (+7 or higher alignment): Grishkh: «You», Culak. Gulak Dimargi. Are we ready to depart? «You»: Yes, Grishkh. May we find Hope in what is to come... Play again! Guardian Tower! Leave
