You say, "Hail, Cordun Brenland"
"No one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. But steel ... Steel, now steel you can trust."
You say to Cordun Brenland,"Don't you think the city of Qeynos can be trusted?"
"I don't trust anything other than steel. The Circle of Five may claim to look out for the best interests of the people, but I have my doubts. If we can trust them, why do they only let you work for one of them?"
You say to Cordun Brenland,"What do you mean I can only work for "one" of them?"
"Every adventurer must work for the Circle of Five. Even though there are five different groups in the Council, you only get to work for one side and one side only. They don't care a whit what you have to say."
You say to Cordun Brenland,"I have to choose a side?"
"That's the way it goes. If you ask me, I'd say it's because they're worried you might get as powerful as them. That's why they make you choose. But, hey, what do I know?"
You say to Cordun Brenland,"What if I don't want to choose a side?"
"Sorry, friend, but those are the rules around here. If you have any talent, rest assured that the city will put it to good use. No room for freelancers in this city. The only other way is ... uh ... well, never mind."
You say to Cordun Brenland,"Another way? What were you about to say?"
"Freeport. Freeport is the other way. In Freeport, everything you do is for yourself. Any gold you make is yours, all yours! Around here, people spend their time working together, but no one rises to the top. All you get is a warm fuzzy feeling. Is that what you want? Or do you want gold?"
You say to Cordun Brenland,"What are you? Some kind of Freeport spy?"
"No, but me and my partner are sailing there soon. We're sick of this pathetic city. All we have to do is pull off one last job, then we're off to Freeport, the land of opportunity! What kind of person are you, eh? Do you want to join us and leave this stupid city behind? Think of it ... all the gold you want..."
You say to Cordun Brenland,"I want what I deserve. I will gladly be evil to gain that. I'll join you and go to Freeport!"
"Then you're just the person we're looking for! Listen, if you want to join us, you have to take our cause seriously. This city doesn't take kindly to criminals, know what I'm saying? They call people like us evil. Are you gonna put up with that?"
You say to Cordun Brenland,"I'm sick of being good all the time! I'll kill anyone who calls me evil!"
"Then count yourself in, friend. We have a lot to do in a short amount of time. Talk to my partner, Remy. He's hiding out in the catacombs below us. He'll know you're the guy we're looking for if you tell him the secret phrase: "Only the darkness will save you." Go find him before people start getting suspicious."
You say to Cordun Brenland,"I'll seek him out."
You say, "Hail, Cryptcleaner Remy"
"Why did I volunteer to clean up down here? It's so dark and creepy."
You say to Cryptcleaner Remy,"Only the darkness will save you."
"You got that right. So you're the one that Cordun's been talking about. Yeah, you'll do just fine. Did Cordun tell you that when we're done with this job, we're off to Freeport? Are you willing to betray Qeynos and leave it behind ... forever?"
You say to Cryptcleaner Remy,"I will gladly betray this disgusting city! I will leave to Freeport."
"Now that we got that out of the way, let's get down to business. We're trailing this lady, right? Well, she's has the keys to the Queen's personal treasure. We need to get that key from her. That's where you come in. We cause the distraction and you off her."
You say to Cryptcleaner Remy,"I'm fine with that. I get the first pick of the treasure, though."
"Okay, you get the first pick. She's at a party right now. We distract her, and you take her out. I'll cast a spell that will get us in there. If we want to pull this off, we better do it now. Are you in?"
You say to Cryptcleaner Remy,"Let's do it! Cast the spell!"
You have entered Queen's Private Chambers.
Queen Antonia Bayle says, "Sir Orm is dead! He was like a father to me, and you slaughtered him! How could you? And what about me? If these goodly citizens didn't warn us in time, you'd have killed me as well!"
Remy says, "This vile murderer threatened me with my life and said only darkness would save me. I was so scared I didn't know what to do!"
Cordun says, "Your highness, I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner, but we feared for our lives! We thought the murderer would kill us in our sleep. Alas, we warned you too late."
Queen Antonia Bayle says to you,"No, you alerted the guards just in time. You are heroes today and I'll reward you handsomely for your courage. As for you, vile murderer, do you have anything to say for yourself before you are taken away?"
You say to Queen Antonia Bayle,"Release me so that I may kill these two! They are as evil as I am!"
Queen Antonia Bayle says to you,"After all you've done, you stand here and threaten these two defenseless citizens!? Enough! I will not let you hurt anyone ever again. You are charged with murder. We will try you when the sun rises. Jailer, take away this monster!"
You say to Queen Antonia Bayle,"I'll see you in the Grey Fields."
Alas, you have died from pain and suffering.
You have entered Antonica.
You say,"Hail, Yuri"
"Lucky, lucky! You woke up just in time. I dulled your senses with a special poison so that I could kill you easier. The good news is that I'm not going to kill you anymore. The bad news is that it will take a long time before the effects wear off. A very long time."
You say to Yuri,"Why haven't you killed me yet, fiend?"
"Tsk, tsk... such harsh words for your rescuer. Before the jailer ... expired, he told us that you tried to assassinate the Queen of Qeynos. Qeynos rewarded your deed by imprisoning you, whereas Freeport considers you a hero. I'm interested to know what you would do if we let you live."
You say to Yuri,"I will find and kill the two who betrayed me! "
"My mentor, Matthias, taught me that revenge is best served cold. He may take you on as a student and give you a home in Freeport. Then again, he might just kill you. I'll send a message to him. Seek him out in the Commonlands where he slaughters the Cutthroats who defy Freeport. Now go, before we change our minds about letting you live."
You say to Yuri,"I'll seek him out, then. Goodbye."
