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!
At Opinwood in Droek's Wagon:
In case Paulson joined the party:
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.
