Dialogue
*Back in the Swordhaven Coliseum, Falwynn picks herself up after being defeated by Fangblade.*
Falwynn: Ugh...
Falwynn: I... don't know how to thank you...
*Two Rose Soldiers approach and stand behind the event's announcer, who is worried for Falwynn's wellbeing.*
Announcer: Hey there— are you okay?
Falwynn: I'll be... fine.
Announcer: Looks like you're hurt pretty badly...
Announcer: Our medical team should take a look at you.
*Scene pans left, revealing you to be standing behind the event's announcer and the Rose Soldiers.*
<Character>: Why didn't you step in earlier?
<Character>: She could've been killed!
Rose Soldier: It's a combat tournament. There are risks involved.
Rose Soldier: Accidents happen. I know I wasn't about to step in front of Fangblade.
<Character>: How can you be so irresponsible? Who's your commander?
Rose Soldier: That's none of your concern. We don't answer to you.
Rose Soldier: Looks like nothing serious happened, so the tournament shall continue. By His Majesty, King Alteon's, decree, of course.
*You glare at the Rose Soldier.*
Announcer: Miss, you're welcome to join me up in the stands once you're ready.
Announcer: You can watch the rest of the tournament from there.
Falwynn: That... that sounds perfect. Thank you.
*Falwynn turns to face you.*
Falwynn: Thanks... and... good luck.
Falwynn: I heard what you said back at the city's notice board.
*Falwynn has captured your attention.*
Falwynn: What The Rose is doing needs to be brought to light. I'm sure you'll be able to convince the King of their misdeeds!
Falwynn: Just... be careful. This city truly supports The Rose. I bet they'll be more likely to turn on you if you directly challenge their views.
Announcer: Sorry about that, folks! A minor mishap!
Announcer: But rest assured, contestant Falwynn is going to be just fine!
Falwynn: . . .
Announcer: Now then... will contestant Melchior please come forward?
Announcer: The east division finals are about to begin!
*Melchior passes you and Falwynn.*
Melchior: Heh, heh, heh ...
Falwynn: . . .
Falwynn: Also, if you have time after the tournament, um...
Falwynn: I have a message I was told to deliver to you.
Falwynn: It's from—
Rose Medic: You there!
Rose Medic: Contestant Falwynn! The physician wants to see you immediately!
Falwynn: Ah...
Falwynn: See you soon, <Character>.
Falwynn: I'll be rooting for you from the stands!
*You return to the west bracket of the Swordhaven Coliseum.*
West Bracket
Entrance
Guard: Good luck, <Character>.
- Let's do this! - proceeds to the next cutscene.
Fangblade
Fangblade: It's just you and me now.
East Bracket Entrance
Guard: Looks like they're just finishing up...
Guard: Now THIS'll be interesting.
*After another quick intermission revealing only you and Fangblade remain in your bracket, you begin your third round of the tournament.*
Announcer: Now then... it's the moment you've been waiting for!
Announcer: Who will emerge victorious?
*The crowd cheers; Fangblade approaches you, while Falwynn watches on from behind the event's announcer up in the stands.*
Announcer: Will <Character>'s strength prevail?
Announcer: Or will the four-time champion prove worthy of the title once more?
Announcer: We're about to find out! Are you ready?
Announcer: BEGIN!
Fangblade: I was told I wouldn't have to face you today. But this is still a welcome surprise.
Battle! - begins battle with Fangblade (1) (normal) / Fangblade (2) (easy).
Extreme Battle! - begins battle with Fangblade (1) (normal) / Fangblade (2) (easy).
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
Run Away! - returns to Swordhaven (Book 3).
*After your victory in battle, the crowd gasps as Fangblade falls to his knee.*
Fangblade: ARGHHHHHHHH!
*Akanthus can be observed leaving the Swordhaven Coliseum during the commotion.*
Fangblade: Impossible!
Fangblade: I can't...WON'T...accept this!
*Fangblade raises both of his axes, presumably intending to fatally wound you; Rose Soldiers intercept Fangblade, surrounding him from all angles.*
Fangblade: Grr...!
Rose Guard: Stand down, Fangblade. It's over.
Rose Guard: You're coming with us. The General has words for you.
*Fangblade glares at the Rose Guard, and the scene fades to black; scene fades back in to focus on your victory in the battle.*
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen!
<Character> (thinking): I did it!
Announcer: After a furious battle, the mighty Fangblade... has fallen!
Announcer: What a shocking turn of events!
<Character> (thinking): I won!
Announcer: And now! It's time...
Announcer: ...for the final event!
<Character>: Huh?
Falwynn: Um...didn't <Character> just defeat the champion?
Announcer: It's true that Fangblade is a "four-time" tournament champion...
Announcer: ...but he's not the current one!
*Falwynn and you both appear shocked by this revelation.*
Falwynn: Wait... then—
Announcer: In fact, last year's champion isn't even here today!
Falwynn: Then... who?!
*A defeated Melchior falls to the ground, as their conqueror nonchalantly approaches.*
Announcer: ...And Melchior falls! The tournament finalists have been decided!
Announcer: The winner of the west bracket, the fabled <Class> hero who has saved the day countless times... <Character>!
<Character>: ...?
Announcer: And the winner of the east bracket...
Announcer: A newcomer...clad in the strangest garb I've ever seen!
*The east bracket's victor, a man dressed in formal attire seemingly unfit for combat, stops before you.*
Announcer: The rookie contender... FAUST!
*You and Faust face each other, preparing for the final battle of the tournament.*
Faust: Well then...
Faust: ...shall we begin?
Battle! - begins battle with Faust (1) (normal) / Faust (2) (easy).
Extreme Battle! - begins battle with Faust (1) (normal) / Faust (2) (easy).
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
Run Away! - returns to Swordhaven (Book 3).
*After your victory in battle, it appears Faust still has plenty of fight left in him.*
Faust: As much as I'd love to stay and chat...
*A pair of Rose Soldiers begin to close in.*
Faust: It seems we'll have to finish this some other time.
*You are visibly confused by Faust's words.*
Faust: You there.
Faust: Announcer guy.
Announcer: ...Yes?
Faust: My opponent has bested me. I concede.
*The crowd gasps, while both the event's announcer and Falwynn appear shocked at Faust's decision to concede; King Alteon stands up in disbelief.*
??? (1): What's going on...?
??? (2): Is he serious...?
??? (3): I paid 500 gold for this?!
*Following the crowd's boos, you attempt to stop Faust from conceding.*
<Character>: Wait!
*Faust pauses briefly, before proceeding to forfeit his place in the tournament.*
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen! I'm... not sure how to say this...
Announcer: It appears as though the challenger Faust has...
Announcer: ...well, conceded his shot at the title!
Announcer: Therefore... it seems we have a WINNER!
Announcer: May I present to you... your new tournament champion...
Announcer: <Character>!
*You look up toward the event's announcer, when a familiar voice captures your attention.*
???: ...<Character>?
*You turn around to see King Alteon standing before you, with two Rose Soldiers on either side of him.*
King Alteon: By the Avatars... it really IS you!
<Character>: Your Majesty!
King Alteon: This stadium has never seen such a thrilling battle before! Amazing— truly amazing!
King Alteon: And of course, you've more than earned that audience. We have much to talk about! Come, come!
*Despite being permitted to approach by King Alteon himself, the Rose Soldiers stand guard, preventing you from getting any closer.*
<Character>: . . .
King Alteon: What is the meaning of this?
Rose Guard: For your own safety, General Akanthus has insisted that you not follow through with meeting the tournament champion.
Rose Guard: It could pose significant risks for the security of both yourself and the kingdom.
King Alteon: That's preposterous! <Character> is the hero of Falconreach! I would trust her/him with my life—!
<Character>: Do you really think I'd do anything to hurt the King? It's me, <Character>!
*Assessing the situation, King Alteon suggests a potential compromise.*
King Alteon: Then how about this?
King Alteon: For winning the Tournament of Champions today, and as a royal re-welcoming to the Hero of Falconreach...
King Alteon: I, with the full royal authority of Swordhaven, extend to you a formal invitation to our royal gala in a few weeks time.
King Alteon: This is a royal decree. You don't have any problem with that, do you?
Rose Guard: No... Your Majesty.
King Alteon: Good.
King Alteon: Then, alas, it seems we must part ways for now.
<Character>: Yeah...
King Alteon: But do not fret, <Character>. I look forward to seeing you at the gala. I'm sure you have many wonderful stories to share!
*You smile slightly.*
King Alteon: Oh, and do try to wear something formal, will you?
*Your optimistic expression fades, as concern begins to resurface following your victory not yielding the anticipated result.*
Falwynn: <Character>!
<Character>: Falwynn! Are you okay?
Falwynn: I'm fine, don't worry about me!
Falwynn: Congratulations on winning the tournament!
<Character>: Thanks!
<Character>: ...I think.
Falwynn: I'm not sure who that last contestant was... but...
Falwynn: Well, anyway, I'm here to give you that message!
Falwynn: Actually, I have TWO messages here for you.
<Character>: Oh? Then go ahead!
Falwynn: Okay, so...
Falwynn: The first letter is from... Sir Leon, up in the Shears.
<Character>: Sir Leon...
<Character>: Oh! That former knight who was trying to find a way to hinder The Ro—
Falwynn: Shh!
<Character>: Ack— I'm sorry!
Falwynn: I'm here to tell you that they've made an important discovery... and they'd like to meet with you as soon as you can.
<Character>: Hmm... all right.
<Character>: And the second letter?
Falwynn: The other one is from... Kara! And all your swampy friends!
Falwynn: Um...
Falwynn: There are a lot of names I can't pronounce... But everyone is safe and wishing you well.
Falwynn: It sounds like after the last skirmish, things have calmed down a lot. So you don't need to worry about them.
<Character>: That's a relief. It's been a while since I last checked in.
<Character>: But... how do I know you're really affiliated with them?
Falwynn: <Character>! I risked my life to deliver these messages to you!
<Character>: Er... Couldn't you have just waited until after the tournament to find me?
Falwynn: Wait... Um... That would have made a lot more sense, huh?
Falwynn: I uh... I got a little too excited at the chance to really prove myself and learn from the champions of Swordhaven.
Falwynn: I actually just "joined up" recently. And while everyone else is running around, being heroic, I'm stuck... delivering mail.
<Character>: Hey. Every adventure starts somewhere.
<Character>: I appreciate all you've gone through. Really!
Falwynn: ...Yeah... It was just a silly dream, I guess. ...Maybe I'm not cut out to be a hero like you.
<Character>: That's... That's not what I meant. You just can't rush into these things. It takes a lot of experience and training.
Falwynn: And I guess running errands is... experience?
Falwynn: Hmm... I suppose it is!
Falwynn: Oh... but I don't think I'm quite cut out for the swamp life...
Falwynn: ...I'm just going to head home. Um... If you ever want to maybe train together, Mr. Ash in Falconreach knows where to find me!
<Character>: Got it. Thanks, Falwynn!
Falwynn: I have to go now, but... I wish you luck on your journeys, <Character>.
*Falwynn takes a bow before you.*
Falwynn: I, uh... I hope we meet again!
*Falwynn leaves.*
<Character> (thinking): Hmm... I hope she'll be okay on her own...
<Character> (thinking): But I have other things to worry about now.
<Character> (thinking): I have to attend a gala in a few weeks. What do I even do about that?!
<Character> (thinking): ...Maybe Kara and the others can help out. I should return and let them know what I've learned, too.
*Scene fades to black.*
