Rambunctious Reunion/Quotes

## Prologue

> [The City of Malthrak. Capital of Andaron.][Jakka enters.]**Jakka**Nobody's here yet? Typical. I'm always the first to show. Guess I'll just grab a chair and wait for the others.[Jenny approaches.]**Jenny**Welcome to the Flaming Archer, sir. Would you like any food or drink?**Jakka**I'm not usually one for booze, but today's an important occasion. Do you have any specials, ma'am?**Jenny**We have a popular drink on tap known as they Day-Breaker.**Jakka**Sure. That sounds fine. And bring a few chairs. I've several friends on their way to join me.**Jenny**Excellent. A fat cat.**Jakka**What?**Jenny**I'll get your drink.[Jenny leaves.]**Jakka**Well. That was strange.[Baudimon enters.]**Baudimon**Hey, Jakka! There you are!**Jakka**Ah, that's Baudimon's voice! Big Boss Baud, over here!

> **Baudimon**Jakka, old buddy, old pal. It's good to see you again. Looks like your scar has faded over the last two years.**Jakka**I met this nice old cleric lady. She mended the wound for free. The Divines know I never have enough gold to pay my bills.**Baudimon**Especially with all the money you send to your mother and sister. Speaking of which, how is Femke? Is she all big and grown up, now?**Jakka**She's a cute, annoying teenager. Rambunctious, even rebellious. Like you, but younger, and a girl. How about you, Baud? Have you been up to no good, like usual?**Baudimon**I've been keeping to myself, living on the down-low. My father sometimes turns a blind eye, but usually not. I try and sneak off to do some gambling, whenever possible.**Jakka**Haha... some things never change.**Baudimon**Indeed, Jakka. Indeed.**Jakka**So are you going to tell me why you brought me here? Surely, our meeting isn't just to catch up on the old days.**Baudimon**Oh, Jakka, what other motive could I possibly have?**Jakka**Still playing the fool, eh, Baud? Ten gold says your father hasn't a clue you've come to the slums. He'll be furious when he finds out.**Baudimon**Oh, for devil axe's sake. You had better not tattle on me.**Jakka**Of course I won't, but it's not him I'm worried about, Baud. These slums are treacherous.**Baudimon**Jakka, we survived a bloody rebellion. We're not going to meet out end in some downtrodden slum gutter.

> [Jenny approaches.]**Jenny**I've brought your drink, sir.**Jakka**Thanks, say, that fellow at the other table... is he... sleeping?**Jenny**Old Man Kirk? He's dead.**Jakka**What?! He is?**Jenny**Who knows? I'll check his pulse later. Want me to get a drink for your friend?**Jakka**I... uh... sure... He'd love one.[Jenny leaves.]

> **Jakka**Alright. I'm convinced this place is cursed.**Baudimon**The bartender's cute. She your type?**Jakka**Not particularly, no. I prefer redheads, and women who at least flinch around corpses. Anyway. Tell me about the job already!**Baudimon**If you insist. Truth be told, I don't know all the mission details yet. Father told me it was some boring diplomatic thing. He insisted I travel to the border with a royal escort. He'll brief me on the details in the throne room tomorrow. I assume Mortimer and Randall will be there, too.**Jakka**Speaking of which, why NOT send one of your brothers instead? Diplomacy isn't your strong suit.**Baudimon**That's what I said! Mortimer is way better at all that chatting and sucking-up stuff! I don't know why father insists I be the one to go.**Jakka**Maybe he still thinks there's hope for you? That you will mature into a worthy heir?**Baudimon**It is a father's right to dream.**Jakka**True, that. Just be sure to pay me and I'll cover your back.**Baudimon**Don't worry, I'll ensure you're well compensated, Jakka. We royals do have plenty of coin to throw around.**Unknown voice**Eeek!**Jakka**What was that? Sounds like a commotion outside.**Baudimon**Let's go check it out.[Baudimon and Jakka leave the tavern.]

> **Girl**Please, stop! Don't hurt my daddy!**Rodd**Quiet, brat. Your papa owes me money, and his debt ran past due days ago.**Man**Please, master Rodd, I promise I'll have the gold tomorrow!**Rodd**Do you think I'm stupid? You said the same thing last week. Henchman 105! Break this bum's arm and take the girl!**Man**No! Please do what you want with me, but don't hurt my little girl!**Rodd**You'll get her back if you pay your debt. Otherwise... I'll sell her as a farmhand!**Girl**Daddy![Baudimon and Jakka arrive.]**Jakka**Okay, Baud? We should wait for backup. The others will arrive-**Baudimon**There's no time to wait. We have to act now!**Jakka**I don't think that's a good idea. We're badly outnumbered, Baud.[Baudimon leaves.]**Jakka**... Well, so much for keeping a low profile. Lovely day to piss into the wind.**Baudimon**Hey, you, hooligan! Listen up! Leave this man alone and return his daughter. If you don't, I'll break your skull over my knee.**Rodd**Huh? Who the devil axe are you? Some drunkard trying to play the hero?**Baudimon**Yeah. Something like that.**Rodd**Haha. Hilarious! And who gave you the right to interfere? This thief borrowed from me but refused to pay me back. According to the law, I am the victim here!**Baudimon**A likely story.**Rodd**Hmph. Believe me or don't. Either way, you are a fool! Do you not see these armed gentleman guarding me?**Baudimon**All I see are dead men walking. A bunch of bullies and criminals.**Rodd**If you think you can stroll into my town and- wait! Hold on! I recognise you.**Baudimon**...**Rodd**Yes! I see! No wonder you like to talk big, you haughty child! You're Andaron's Second Prince, Baudimon of House Steel!**Baudimon**You got me.**Rodd**Dressed as a boor, gallivanting about in your galoshes! I am Rodd the Rambunctious, King of the slums and back alleys. Elite squad, grab this dastard! Daddy dearest will pay generously for his errant son's ransom!**Baudimon**Try if you like. It's your funeral.[Rodd leaves.]**Baudimon**Sorry, Jakka. I didn't want to drag you into this... But you know I can't sit back and let innocents suffer.**Jakka**Yes, chivalry is your most... admirable quality, Baudimon.**Baudimon**I appreciate the vote of confidence.**Jakka**Sigh.

## Turn-Based

### Turn 2

> [Colter and Thea enter.]**Colter**Aw, cripes. Trouble up ahead, sis.**Thea**Yeah? What do you see?**Colter**Looks like a street fight. Twenty against two. Oh... and there's Baudimon. Figures he'd be involved.**Thea**Baudimon? Isn't he that friend of yours? The one with the hair? And the weird face?**Colter**Huh? Weird face? What are you on about?**Thea**Your boyfriend. The guy we're looking for. I'm not here to judge your taste, Colter. I'll stay back while you have your fun.**Colter**... Oh, shut up. You're such a pain in my ass.**Thea**Me and Baud both, apparently.**Colter**Stop it.**Thea**Fine. Mister sensitive over here. You wanna go rescue your lover, or what?**Colter**Yeah. Let's go. Wait, dammit, Thea! Stop clowning around!**Thea**Why would I, when I'm having such great fun?

### Turn 3

> [Samuel enters.]**Samuel**By the Divines! What tomfoolery is afoot here?**Thug**Who the hell are you, grandpa? Get lost. This don't concern you.**Samuel**Oh? I believe that is for me to decide, youngster. Those fellows over there happen to be my friends.**Thug**Your friends?! Why, you little-! I shoulda' known! You've got the stink of a nobleman on ya! C'mere, old man! I'll gut you like all the rest!**Samuel**Tsk. Such disrespect for your elders. The youth these days are simply incorrigible.**Thug**You talk too much![Samuel kills the thug.]**Thug**Ugh... how could... you be... so strong?[Lilinette enters.]**Lilinette**G-grampy! You... you killed that man!**Samuel**Yes, Lilinette. Him and the other dogs of his breed. You had best become used to this sort of thing, and soon. Blood shall dye the streets crimson before day's end.**Lilinette**... Well, alright. I suppose violence is the only thing these brutes understand. Still, you didn't bat an eye even with all that blood spraying!**Samuel**I have watched the life ebb from many a man's eyes. Today is no different, dear. Now, stick close to me, Lily. I will require your aid if an enemy lands a heavy blow.**Lilinette**A-alright, grampy! I won't go anywhere near these savages! I'll stay back and keep you safe!**Samuel**I am lucky to have such a doting grandchild.

### Turn 4

> [Angelus enters.]**Angelus**Oh dear, what on earth have I walked into? Bandits, brigands and landlords, oh my![Two thugs enter.]**Thug**Hey, Gronge. Look here. This one seems weak.**Thug**Yeah, you be right, Randy. This feller ain't gots no steel t'protect himself. I bet he's looking ta join up wit' his friends.**Angelus**My friends? Oh, no, no, no. You've got it all wrong, good sirs! I'm minding my own business, going out for a morning walk. I haven't a clue who those chaps over there might be!**Thug**You lyin' to me? I don't like liars.**Angelus**Lying? Me? Oh, heavens, no! My mother always praised my honesty! She's say, "Angelus, truth is a gift from the Divines!" Naturally, I'd never put my mother's integrity in check. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must return to my business. Tally-ho to you, my good sirs!**Thug**Wait a minute. I didn't say you could leave, flappy-lips. Gronge, this guy's covered in pricey jewelry. Looks like a noble to me.**Thug**Yeah, he sure do, Randy. Say, ain't nobles 'sposed ta be generous?**Thug**That's right. It's their duty to take care of the citizenry. What say we help him out and collect his goods for charity?**Angelus**Uh, err... I do love the poor! But your intentions seem...**Thug**You talk a lot, but words don't buy women and booze. Drop your loot, or we're taking it by force!**Angelus**Wait! Please don't hurt me! I'm just a defenseless bard! Stay back, you vile knaves!**Thug**Get him, Gronge! Don't let that fat cat escape!

### Turn 5

> [Shom enters.]**Shom**Hey, everyone. Look who's here. It's me. Shom. Good old Shom. Yup. Just walked up with my own two feet. Haven't eaten in days. Sure enough, I show up and some big fight is going on. I swear, it's like the world is out to get me. Never fails... Welp. If Baudimon is in trouble, good old Shom will save the day. Just like I always do...

### Turn 6

> **Rodd**Divines, spare me your irony! How many friends does that damned prince have? They keep popping out of the woodwork like cockroaches! Never mind! Harrumph! I'll handle them myself! I am Rodd the Rambunctious, king of these slums! None shall bully me!

Secret Event

> **Jesse**Aw shoot, looks like I took a wrong turn again, this is Rodd's territory. Hey wait, is that my old buddy Colt? I should go have a chat with him.

### Turn 9

If Rodd is alive

> **Rodd**Bah! Damn these meddling pricks! What a commotion they've caused! At this rate, the enforcement squads will show up soon! If I tarry any longer, I might end up in Malthrak's prison.

> [If Colter and Thea attacked Rodd and Colter is alive]**Colter**You're lucky I let you off easy, Rodd. If it wasn't for our old friendship... tsk. Get lost. Beat it. I don't want to see you in these slums again.**Rodd**You'll regret crossing me, 'Little Knife' Colter! The next time I see you, you'd better turn tail! Men, fall back! We've lost the battle, not the war!**Baudimon**Look, Rodd's thugs are running away!**Jakka**I would too, if I had to fight me.

If Rodd is dead

> **Thug**Damnit, the boss is down. This ain't worth it folks, let's get out of here!**Baudimon**Look, Rodd's thugs are running away!**Jakka**That's too bad. I was ready for seconds.

## Houses

* > **Lester**Is everything okay out there? I hear a lot of fighting. I hope my wife isn't involved. She owns the local tavern. Yeah, we met when I had to pull her off of five dead guys. She kept smacking their skulls with a frying pan. What was most odd was her facial expression. She didn't smile or blink the whole time... That was when I knew I'd found my one true love. We have three kids now. Not one of them smiles. They're the cutest children a man could ever hope for.
* > **Old man**Rodd the Rambunctious runs these slums with an iron fist. He goes around collecting debts while acting as a landlord. But we all know the truth. He's a thug, through and through. I impaled many foes with this lance, my treasured weapon. Please do us all a favor and run it through Rodd's chest.
* > **Ferdinand**You there! Rapscallion! Simpleton! Yes, I am speaking to you! I am Sir Ferdinand the Third, lord of Windlance, mightiest of kings! Surely you have heard of my royal legacy? My most heroic feats? Bards sing songs regarding my martial prowess, AND my bedroom conquests! Yes, I am a man who has partaken of many a fine, buxom woman! I have visited foreign palaces, and traveled across the three seas! And what of you? Are you familiar with Andaron's many noble houses?**Visitor**...**Ferdinand**Hah! I thought not! Just look at your blank dazed expression! Foolish! No doubt, you must hail from one of the poorest, most miserly houses. Just look at those torn-apart rags swaddling your bosom! How tragic! If I had to guess, you must be from House Steel! Or perhaps Windlance! Hmm, maybe you are a Lightbringer? Ah, but a Darkholiam might fit the bill, too, judging by your dull gaze. I mustn't exclude the possibility you are from House Speargarden, or Rose! You might even hail from Flameguard! Do you enjoy playing with fire, fool? If so, you might even be from the House of Ashburn! A lineage of commoners!**Visitor**So, basically, you have no idea.**Ferdinand**... Ignorant! You know nothing, you smart-mouthed little runt! Already, you have wasted too much of this ancestor's time! Begone! Speak not of my name to anyone! ... It is Ferdinand, by the way. You do remember, don't you?**Visitor**I wish I could forget.
* > **Woman**Rodd has turned Malthrak's slums into his personal playground! These streets were decent once, decades ago. I still remember it! Children could go out and play. There weren't any animals roaming the streets, looking for food. Now, with King Thorgrim running things, people fight for scraps! I hope he passes away soon, but I bet the next in line will be worse! That whole family is riddled with narcissistic monsters. It's hard to believe I once thought the Lightbringers were pure evil. Now I see that they were the best of two evils...
* > **Jenny**Hm? You're still alive? I thought you'd have died by now. What a shame. Your body would have made for an excellent sacrifice. Anyway. Rodd's out there. He's a tough guy. If he corners you, go for the groin. It's his weak spot. Well, it's every man's weak spot. Who am I kidding? Anyway, if you get a boo-boo, use this. It'll clean you up. When you die, please ensure that I get your corpse. It's for research-related purposes. I promise.
* > **Old woman**Oh, good morning, young precious! You look positively famished! Old grandma Bella just finished baking a tray of cookies. Yes I know they perfectly resemble stone statuettes, but look! These little crumbly bits are edible, hee-hee! I've been told they give you good luck if you eat them in one go. Well? What are you waiting for? Don't be shy now, little cutie! Eat them while they're warm!

## Talk

###  Baudimon

With  Colter

> **Baudimon**Colter? Is that you?**Colter**It's me. I thought I smelled a fat payday, so I came running.**Baudimon**You and Jakka are a pair of vultures. Am I just a walking moneybag to you?**Colter**Of course not, Baudimon. I value our friendship.**Baudimon**...**Colter**It's true. I care deeply about you. We're such good buddies. Comrades.**Baudimoon**...**Colter**Of course, it doesn't hurt that you have deep pockets.**Baudimon**And there it is. Tsk. You're a riot, Colter.**Colter**By the way, I brought my sister along. Thea.**Baudimon**Is she cute?**Colter**Do you want to continue functioning as a man?**Baudimon**Alright, so she's off-limits. I'll just say a polite 'hello.' Maybe after this battle's over.**Colter**You learn quickly.

With  Thea

> **Baudimon**You must be Thea. Hello there!**Thea**General Baudimon. Colter talks about you all the time.**Baudimon**Well, I'm a prince, not a general, so...**Thea**Oh, wow. That's so impressive. You're such a cool guy, Baud.**Baudimon**I sense some sarcasm. And a bit of hostility.**Thea**I don't like nobles. Not even the good-looking ones. You're all a bunch of snotty, stuck-up peasant-stompers.**Baudimon**Are you saying I'm good-looking?**Thea**Way to fixate on the wrong thing.**Baudimon**I'm kidding. For what it's worth, I can't stand the nobility either. Always putting on airs, acting all fancy and mocking the poor. That's why I hang out with people like Colter and Jakka!**Thea**Wow. Way to twist the knife.**Baudimon**That... didn't come out the way I intended.**Thea**Maybe if I wasn't so poor, I'd be able to understand your big words. Now, excuse me. I see a bandit I really want to stab right now.**Baudimon**........**Baudimon**...That could have gone better.

With  Samuel

> **Baudimon**Sam the man! Is that you? Looking good, gramps!**Samuel**Young master, Baudimon. It gladdens my old heart to see you still alive.**Baudimon**You know damn well some slum lord won't take me down.**Samuel**A knife in the back has brought many a warrior to his ruin. Never fall complacent around savages, young master.**Baudimon**You've saved my life nce, Old Sam. Stick around, and I'll return the favor.**Samuel**If I die, I will do so as an old man. I will have no regrets. However, I did bring my grand-daughter, Lilinette, with me. I hope you will take good care to let no harm befall her.**Baudimon**Lilinette? Her name seems familiar...**Samuel**She is a famous playwright in the capital city of Malthrak. 'Dawn's Light' has performed splendidly among the nobility.**Baudimon**I haven't seen that play. But I'll keep it in mind. I'll say hi to her later if I get a chance.**Samuel**Make sure you conduct yourself with propriety, young master. She only recently came of age, and knowing you...**Baudimon**Cough, cough! Come now, Old Sam! I'm not THAT much of a lout... Or, then again. Perhaps I am.**Samuel**Mmm.

With  Lilinette

> **Baudimon**Hello, you must be Lilinette? Samuel's granddaughter? The familial resemblance is hard to tell.**Lilinette**Hi, hi! Nice to meet you! You must be Prince Baudimon! Grampy said you're a scoundrel and to take care around you.**Baudimon**He said I was a scoundrel?**Lilinette**Mhm. He also said that when you spot a lady, you'll tear at her clothes-**Baudimon**That doesn't sound like me! You must have me confused with someone else. Perhaps you mean First Prince Randall! Yes, he's definitely a vile beast. Always watch out around my brother. He is not a pleasant man.**Lilinette**Oh, I must have heard wrong, then. Silly me! Say, what's your sign? I'm a Pisces!**Baudimon**My astrological sign?**Lilinette**That's right. You can tell a lot about a person by their sign.**Baudimon**Ah. I never believed in any of that mumbo-jumbo. Sounds like a bunch of hog-water to me.**Lilinette**You can predict everything about a person through their sign. It's all real, trust me! So what is your sign, Sir Baudimon?**Baudimon**Hmm... I think it's... Sagittarius?**Lilinette**...Oh.**Baudimon**???**Lilinette**...........**Lilinette**I... have to go.**Baudimon**What? Why? How does that follow?**Lilinette**You Sagittarius-types are all... oh, dear. Grampy was right.....[Lilinette leaves.]**Baudimon**I am so confused.

With  Angelus

> **Angelus**Ah, Baudimon! Thank you for coming to save me! Those evil bandits had me surrounded, and they-**Baudimon**Sorry, do I know you?**Angelus**Hahaha! Oh, you funny fellow! It is I, Angelus the Gallant! World renowed singer, musician, and quite the handsome fellow!**Baudimon**Doesn't ring a bell.**Angelus**It... doesn't? But we fought together in the Rebellion! When you were injured, I sang songs to restore your morale! When you were downcast, I sang you songs to restore your mind!**Baudimon**Ohh. Right. I remember now.**Angelus**You do? Most excellent!**Baudimon**Yeah. After the war, I blocked out many traumatic memories. Your singing must have been among them...**Angelus**Hahaha! I see! Then you- wait... My singing... traumatized you?**Baudimon**Uh. Oh look, a citizen shouting for help! Excuse me while I... take my leave.[Baudimon leaves.]**Angelus**... Ahh! I must have misunderstood! That Baudimon, he's such a jester! I will have to sing many songs to rouse his spirits!

With  Shom

> **Baudimon**Shom! You made it!**Shom**I made it. Yay.**Baudimon**So, uh... have things gone well for you?**Shom**Oh, Baudimon. You know me. My life is just wonderful. It's pretty much perfect.**Baudimon**Mmm. We'll talk after this. I'd like to catch up with you.**Shom**Point me at whoever needs a wind-blade up their butt. I'll handle the rest, Baud.

###  Jakka

With  Colter

> **Jakka**Gotcha! En garde!**Colter**Whoa, whoa, calm DOWN, Jakka! For Divines' sake, it's me!**Jakka**Colter? Oh, whoops, I'm sorry. I mistook you for one of those slum thugs. You blend right in.**Colter**Wow, thanks a lot. You really know how to warm my heart.**Jakka**Hey, I said I was sorry! Look, if you're that broken up over it, I'll buy you a pint.**Colter**Psh, fine. You'd better.[Colter leaves.]**Jakka**... Heh. I had my fingers crossed. Doesn't count.

With  Samuel

> **Samuel**Jakka, I'm glad to see you here. Your complexion has improved since the last time we conversed.**Jakka**My complexion? Sure. I get lots of sunshine these days.**Samuel**I was referring to your scar.**Jakka**Ah, I see. Yeah, it's faded, thanks to a certain cleric. Lady Harriet was practically a miracle worker.**Samuel**I see. Well, I shall attempt to repay you for saving my life. I have not forgotten how you put yourself in danger for my sake.**Jakka**Haha. Keep on your toes, Samuel. I'll probably save you again.

###  Colter

With  Jesse

> **Colter**Jesse. What the hell are you doing here?**Jesse**Eyy, if it isn't my Colter bro! Meeting you here is rare man. Like 1 in 50 kinda rare!**Colter**What!?**Jesse**Nevermind bro, you wouldn't get it. Anyway, how've you been?**Colter**This is NOT the place to catch up. We're being attacked by Rodd.**Jesse**Rodd is here, huh? Oh, that's too bad. Guess I'll bolt. I owe him money.**Colter**Yeah, get out of here, Jesse. I'm not gonna cover for you.**Jesse**Hey man, you want some red dust? Just as my way of saying thanks.**Colter**Dust is bad for you, Jesse. You shouldn't be using it.**Jesse**Oh, so you don't want it? More for me!**Colter**Nah I'll take it, if only to sell it for some cash. Now get lost, Jesse!**Jesse**Skaduupissshhh!

## Battle

###  Rodd

vs Any

Who do you think you are? You think you can stand up to Rodd the Rambunctious?
vs  Colter

> **Rodd**Oho, if it isn't Colter. Remember me, laddie? I'll bet you didn't expect to see Master Rodd here!**Colter**It's been a while, Rodd. How is Penny?**Rodd**You would utter her name?! What guts you have!**Colter**It wasn't an insult. Even I wouldn't dare. Penny deserves to be remembered. She'd cry if she saw what you've become.**Rodd**Hmph. At least you know to show some respect. But even so, I won't let you off easily. 'Little Knife' Colter has lived for too long!**Colter**For the slum's sake, I should end your reign of tyranny. You're no better than those nobles you once decried. A sad decline for a once-great man.**Rodd**Try if you like, brat. You're no match for me. You never were, and never will be...

vs  Thea

> **Rodd**Well, if it isn't Thea. Colter's little sister.**Thea**If it isn't Rodd. The big bad bully of the slums.**Rodd**Your brother was a friend of mine, back in the day. A shame he's banded with that princeling noble.**Thea**Your point being?**Rodd**Don't you understand? Need I spell it out? The nobility are our enemies, Thea. That never changes. They press their boots against our necks and squeeze us dry. Do you think Second Prince Baudimon is any different? Do you think he will treat you, a slum-rat, kindly?**Thea**...**Rodd**No matter. You've betrayed the slums. There's no saving someone like you, turncoat. The only thing worse than a noble is their bootlicker.**Thea**You're such an ass, Rodd.

## Post-Chapter

> **Baudimon**Somehow, we survived, Jakka. Thanks for backing me up.**Jakka**Pft. As if I had any choice in the matter.**Samuel**Young master![Samuel and Lilinette approaches.]**Samuel**Young master Baudimon. Jakka. Now, we finally have a chance to talk. This is my granddaughter, Lilinette. She is a trainee troubadour.**Lilinette**Hi Baudimon! Hi Jakka! Nice to meet the both of you! My sign is Pisces, and my favorite color is blue!**Jakka**Hello, Lilinette. Can I call you Lily for short?**Lilinette**Absolutely! That's what all my gal-pals call me. I hope we can become the best of friends!**Baudimon**It's a beautiful name.**Samuel**Have you any idea what mission your father will give us?**Baudimon**Not yet, Samuel. I'm hoping it's nothing complicated. Something about diplomacy and Timaet.**Samuel**Mmm. The dragonkin have barked at Andaron's doorstep for years. I hope we don't end up in a war.**Jakka**Yeah... the Plague was already bad enough. And the Rebellion.**Baudimon**Oh, and who's that behind your horse, Samuel? Looks like... Colter?**Samuel**Ah, allow me to step aside.**Colter**Hey, Baud. Thanks for the heads up on that random street fight. I love walking into sudden acts of violence with no preparation.**Thea**It was a lot of fun. And I'm not even being sarcastic. Unlike Colter, I love kicking other people's teeth in.**Baudimon**This is my sister, Thea.**Baudimon**Hi, Thea. Colter, don't you think that was a lame introduction? You've gotta give us something so we can make conversation.**Colter**I haven't seen her in a few years. Picked her up on the way here... Thea, got any fun hobbies?**Thea**Brother of the year. Let's see. I like to paint my nails pink. I also enjoy taking walks along the beach, picking up seashells...**Baudimon**Well. That's nice.**Thea**Sometimes I kick the crap out of creepy guys who hit on me. You know. Casual Monday stuff.**Baudimon**Vicious. Are you in a bad mood? I can't tell.**Thea**Nope. I'm extremely happy right now. See my smile?**Baudimon**Uhh.......**Shom**Baud. Baudimon. Best buddy. I need your help, man. He won't shut up. He keeps yapping and following me around.**Baudimon**Huh? Who?**Angelus**Aha! There you are, Shom! I almost lost you! Now where was I? Ah yes, I was regaling you with the-**Baudimon**...Pft.**Shom**Baudimon. Stop laughing. It's not funny, man. This bard keeps acting like he knows me, but... I have no memory of him!**Angelus**Hahaha, oh, Shom, how can you forget ME? We always had such storied fireside discussions! Why, there was this time you told me about your broken toe when you were five years old-**Shom**Baud, I swear I never told him that story! I've no idea how he knows my secrets!**Baudimon**Haha. It sure is great to have the gang back together again. Let's head inside and get some drinks! First round's on me!**Jakka**I feel like we're not taking the weird bard guy seriously enough...**Baudimon**Oh, Jakka, he's just Angelus. How can you forget a guy like him?**Jakka**Do you remember him?**Baudimon**Nope. Now, time for drinks!**Angelus**How delightful!

If both civilians are alive

> [The civilians approach.]**Man**Wait, pardon me a moment! Sir Baudimon, thank you! You've saved me and my daughter's lives!**Baudimon**There's no thanks necessary. It is my duty as the prince to protect my people. However...**Man**However?**Baudimon**Rodd had a bone to pick with you. You put your daughter in danger by failing to pay your debt. I hope that, as a father, you will reflect on your actions.**Man**Ah! Yes... I understand. After my wife passed, I fell into sorrow. I drank and gambled, then borrowed money to fuel my addictions. As a father and a man, I have erred.**Baudimon**...**Girl**People say the royals are evil, but I don't think that at all! If it weren't for you... my daddy... I'm sorry! Mommy said I shouldn't cry.**Baudimon**Don't apologize. It's not good to... bottle up your emotions.**Girl**Sir prince, please... since you saved us, I have to repay you! Please take this candy necklace. It belonged to my mommy. She died to the plague, so... It would mean a lot to me if you wore it in her memory.**Baudimon**I understand. Thank you, little girl. It looks delicious.
