## Dialogue

### The Throne of Chaos

At the Throne Room:

**Richard**: *I tell you we must march with whatever troops can be gathered locally!*

**Geron**: *Isn't Eric mustering his White Army? Have we lost all confidence in our own military capabilities?*

**Richard**: *Eric is the finest commander in the kingdom. But, he is a five day march from here!*

**Dawn**: *As long as we have our own magic, I really don't see where we need more than the defenses we already have in place.*

**Richard**: *Scotia is not an adversary to be taken lightly!*

**Richard** (As soon as he notices the Champion): *Ah, [Champion]. Because of the threat from Scotia, I now have an urgent need for the Ruby of Truth. Please retrieve it from Roland's estate in the Southland and return it to Gladstone.*

**Richard**: *Here is a key to my private library. Among the books you will find a Magic Atlas that should be of assistance on your journey.*

**Geron**: *Come by my office before you leave the Keep. I'll give you a Writ that will identify you as being on official business for his Highness.*

Scotia's attack on King Richard in the Throne Room:

**Dawn**: *Leave him vile witch!*

**Scotia**: *You cannot stop me! I found the Mask! My warriors have the Ruby, and this realm will soon beg for mercy beneath my heel!*

**Dawn**: *Postpone your celebration, hag! I will not permit this travesty!*

**Scotia**: *Oh? The inept charmer threatens me??*

**Scotia**: (after being struck by her own magic attack): *You, Dawn, will be the first to grovel at my feet!*

After King Richard's Poisoning:

**Dawn**: *He still lives, but we have no antidote, and he sinks deeper by the minute! We must now channel all of our magic into a protective shield.*

**Dawn**: *Elvni Mekilno Connaax!*

**Dawn**: *This shroud will prevent any further action of the poison, and protect Richard until the cure can be located.*

Approaching Paulson:

**Paulson**: *I don't know about you people, but I'm going down to the Urbish Mines and get to the bottom of all this mask business!*
**Dawn**: *Come now Paulson, do not be so rash! The Urbish Mines are where Scotia found the Mask! The Dark Army is surely swarming all over that place.*
**Paulson**: *Well, I won't just sit here on my backside while that wench has her way with the whole countryside!*

Approaching Dawn:

**Dawn**: *Our potions cannot cure him, but legends speak of an Elixir that could.*

Interacting with the Shroud:

**Dawn**: *This shroud has required all of our magic to create.*

**Dawn**: *Nothing can cause Richard further harm now.*

Interacting with the Pyramid Keys:

**Dawn**: *Richard will remain in suspended animation until the shroud has been unlocked.*

**Dawn**: *Each of the Council has one of the four key orbs needed to open this enchanted shroud.*

**Paulson**: *Enough talk! We've got to do something now!*

**Dawn**: *We will need your help [Champion]. We must ask that you visit the Draracle. Perhaps he knows a cure for Richard.*

**The Champion**: *The Who? And where is it? Do you know, Timothy?*

**Dawn**: *Unfortunately, Timothy's services are needed here. Baccata will join you in Timothy's stead.*

**The Champion**: *Well then, I will meet up with you later Timothy.*

**Baccata**: *I am familiar with the path to the Draracle and I would be honored to join you in your quest.*

**Timothy**: *Farewell [Champion]. You had best hurry. Do not grieve at our separation. Baccata is a good man and will be an asset to you on your journey.*

**Dawn**: *Your time has come [Champion], to walk the paths of magic. This mystic album will hold the spells that you acquire. Practice, and learn to use it well.*

In case Timothy didn't join the party:

**Dawn**: *We will need your help [Champion]. We must ask that you visit the Draracle. Perhaps he knows a cure for Richard.*

**The Champion**: *The Who? And where is it?*

**Dawn**: *Baccata will join you.*

**The Champion**: *Welcome Baccata. Let us find a cure!*

**Baccata**: *I am familiar with the path to the Draracle and I would be honored to join you in your quest.*

**Dawn**: *Remember Baccata, you are a guide only. Do not involve yourself in fighting!*

**Dawn**: *Baccata! [Champion]! Paulson! What news do you have from the Draracle?*

**The Champion**: *Well, we think we know where to make the Elixir, and we're making progress in assembling the ingredients, but frankly, we barely know what we're doing.*

**The Champion**: *It appears the Draracle is fond of riddles.*

**Dawn**: *Be that as it may, you are, at this moment, Gladstone's best hope. Perhaps, if you show me his riddle, I could be of some assistance.*

**Dawn**: *Oh yes, take my key to Richard's casket. It, along with Paulson's and the other two, will allow access in order that you may apply the Elixir to poor Richard.*

**Baccata**: *Splendid! Come now, hurry, let us be off to save our good king.*

**Dawn**: *Baccata, you know this violence interferes with your training! You must stay here with me!*

**Baccata**: *Here now! I will not abandon my friends, nor my King! My personal achievement means nothing while the kingdom is in peril!*

**Dawn**: *Fine! If you must ignore my counsel, I cannot stop you.*

In case Paulson didn't join the party:

**Dawn**: *Baccata! [Champion]! It is you! What news do you have from the Draracle?*

**The Champion**: *Well, we think we know where to make the Elixir, and we're making progress in assembling the ingredients, but frankly, we barely know what we're doing.*

**Dawn**: *Be that as it may, you are, at this moment, Gladstone's best hope. Take my key to Richard's casket.*

**Dawn**: *It, along with its three counterparts, will allow access in order that you may apply the Elixir to poor Richard.*

Giving the Riddle Scroll to Dawn:

**Dawn**: *I see. This is quite obscure. I think the mother of which he speaks is Mother Earth. There is a mystic reagent called Earth Powder. I would try that.*

**The Champion**: *Thank you! I will write that on my parchment.*

Giving the Riddle Scroll to Dawn again:

**Dawn**: *I can discern no new information from this.*

Approaching Dawn:

**Dawn**: *Hurry! The entire realm awaits your success.*

Leaving:

**Dawn**: *[Champion], at least take these vials to hold some of the ingredients of your Elixir.*

**Dawn**: *Perhaps this Vaelan's Cube will help you as well.*

Returning:

**Dawn**: *Have you found the Elixir?*

**The Champion**: *We haven't made it yet.*

**Dawn**: *I am making progress on my spell. Return when you have the Elixir.*

Inspecting the Crystal Ball at Castle Cimmeria:

**The Champion**: *What an odd location for furniture.*

**The Champion**: *What strange magics hold her captive?*

**The Champion**: *How did Dawn get in such a small ball?*

Freeing Dawn from the Crystal Ball:

**Dawn**: *[Champion]! Paulson! I owe you my internal gratitude.*

**Dawn**: *So what of Richard? Is he safe?*

**The Champion**: (Before curing Richard): *We have not yet freed His Highness.*

**The Champion**: (After curing Richard): *We have freed Richard from Scotia's clutches and now we search for the vile hag, herself.*

**Dawn**: *I shall gather our forces and return to join you soon. My best wishes go with you.*

After The Defeat of Scotia and The Return of King Richard:

**Richard**: *Congratulations!*

**Richard**: *You have served me well.*

**Geron**: *A luckier adventurer Gladstone never saw!*

**Dawn**: *It has been a pleasure serving with you.*
