2000	"This is strange.","9040_2000"
2002	"What is?","9040_2002"
2004	"The damage to the town wasn't fresh... more like a day or so ago....","9040_2004"
2006	"Yet the Vells were there. Why would they return to a place burned to the ground?","9040_2006"
2008	"Vells, pewh!  They raided it, they burned it! That's all I need to know!","9040_2008"
2010	"No, Ellen's right--it doesn't make sense...We'll report to Hugh first. To the castle.","9040_2010"
2011	"Pull and hold @(R)...","9040_2011"
2012	"General Hugh, Greyhampton was attacked by damn Vells.","9040_2012"
2014	"What?","9040_2014"
2016	"The town was in ashes.  We engaged a small band of Vellies and captured one of them.","9040_2016"
2018	"This means war.  Gerald, will you be interogating the prisoner yourself?","9040_2018"
2020	"Rupert begged for the task.","9040_2020"
2022	"Once you've gotten all you can out of it, post its head on the castle gate.","9040_2022"
2024	"Two weeks later.."
2026	"General Hugh has summoned the officers. Your presence is required at the main castle.","9040_2026"
2027	"General Hugh has summoned the officers. You are needed at the main castle.","9040_2027"

2028	"Word from the capital:","9040_2028"
2029	"War is upon us. We have been called upon to reclaim the Holy Ground lost nearly 50 years ago.  An army from the capital will join us in Raven Meadow.  Because of our unique knowledge of the landscape, we will lead this crusade.","9040_2029"
2030	"We will equip our troops and rendezvous with the main army in Raven Meadow. Since we are familiar with the region, we will lead the crusade.","9040_2030"
2032	"The Ecclesian Patriarch has sent the Holy Ground Reclamation Army. They will pass through Ettindale in the north and head for the Holy Ground Site.","9040_2032"

2034	"Men, this war has not been chosen lightly.  Our destiny calls.","9040_2034"
2036	"A few more things I ask of you ; push back the Dark Legion from this continent, reclaim the Holy Ground, and come back alive and proud.","9040_2036"
2038	"All Esse troops will assemble at the castle gate at first light. Tonight you are to eat and be merry but refrain from the drink of the vine.  For tomorrow we march on the enemies of the realm.","9040_2038"
2045	"Gerald, We leave at first light.  Prepare well.","9040_2045"
2046	"Now is not the time for practice.","9040_2046"
2050	"Pay attention to the morale of the men.","9040_2050"
2052	"When you're ready, go to the gate.","9040_2052"
2053	"The men are assembled.  We await your command.","9040_2053"
2054	"Here you can learn how to command troops.  New movements will be added as time goes on.","9040_2054"
2060	"I bet you were bummed that you can't drink tonight.","9040_2060"
2061	"Ale clouds the mind.  We will need our wits about us.","9040_2061"
2062	"That we will.","9040_2062"
2080	"Before us lies Heck territory. Their border guard will be patroling, so stay alert!","9040_2080"
2090	"By your valor, Raven Meadow is the first victory in our crusade. I commend you. We will camp here tonight.","9040_2090"
2091	"Gerald, General Hugh is lookin' for ya. Probably a promotion, eh?","9040_2091"
2092	"That'll be the day.","9040_2092"
2093	"No one deserves it more.","9040_2093"
2094	"Thanks, old friend. But, I'm not holding my breath.","9040_2094"
2095	"Well, I hope you get promoted.  That way I can say I serve a 'General'","9040_2095"
2096	"You're a good man, Rupert. Don't believe what the others say...","9040_2096"
3000	"Why, if it isn't 'General' Gerald.","9040_3000"
3001	"Walden. What brings you here?","9040_3001"
3002	"'been a long time, Walden. Not long enough...","9040_3002"
3003	"Rupert, still at Gerald's side?  I mean 'General' Gerald -- I hear promotion is in the air.","9040_3003"
3004	"What is it that you want, Walden?","9040_3004"
3005	"Touchy.  Don't forget that we're in this thing together.  I simply wanted to congratulate you.","9040_3005"
3006	"Well, it's a bit premature.  I have to go now.  You understand...","9040_3006"
3007	"Yes, well, I have to get going too, 'General'.","9040_3007"
3008	"When I met him 10 years ago I thought he was such a jerk... I was right.  Hey, what others?","9040_3008"
3009	"I better report to Hugh.  Get some rest, Rupert.  We're gonna need it.","9040_3009"
2099	"I need to report to General Hugh.","9040_2099"
2100	"Gerald, your wise decisions were key for this victory. Had the front line been eliminated, we would have been forced into retreat.","9040_2100"
2102	"Thank you, sir.","9040_2102"
2104	"Another thing, Gerald. We interrogated a Dark, and we've got something.","9040_2104"
2106	"Tell me...","9040_2106"
2108	"Regnier's troops are headed this way.","9040_2108"
2110	"And?","9040_2110"
2112	"The leader who escaped us at Raven Meadow.  He alone holds the plans for this attack.  We're told this leader is in Greywood forest.","9040_2112"
2114	"How do we know any of this is true, Sir?","9040_2114"
2116	"One of our Scouts has seen a Heck camp there. We need those plans, Gerald.","9040_2116"
2118	"I understand. And I have a score to settle with this 'leader'.","9040_2118"
2120	"Good man. You leave in the morning.  A Spearmen troop will accompany you there.","9040_2120"
2122	"Thank you, sir.","9040_2122"
2123	"We'll be going together tomorrow, right?","9040_2123"
2124	"So you've heard.  Fine. Saves me the trouble telling you.","9040_2124"
2125	"Are you quite satisfied that our front line troops died to bring you to glory?","9040_2125"
2126	"You insult me and their memory.  They fought for what they believed in.","9040_2126"
3020	"You are so naive.  Gerald, do you know why we are going to the Holy Ground?","9040_3020"
3021	"I'm a soldier, Walden, it's not my place to ask such things.","9040_3021"
3022	"Why do you think His Majesty is interested in this war?","9040_3022"
3023	"To take back what we should never have lost, I suppose.","9040_3023"
3024	"I'm sorry that you actually believe that.  Gerald, this conquest is far from holy and even farther from honorable. Your troops should know this.","9040_3024"
3025	"That's your opinion. But I know that no one wants to die without a righteous cause.  Anyway, my hatred against those bastards burns regardless of religion.","9040_3025"
3026	"Be careful, Gerald.  You have a history of turning your back on religion and using troops for personal reasons.  Your parents had to find out the hard way; don't let history repeat itself.","9040_3026"
3027	"You Speak another word about my parents and I'll kill you where you stand!","9040_3027"
3028	"Calm down, my old friend. You need to blow off some steam--try visiting the barracks","9040_3028"
3029	"Your advice is noted.  Just keep my parents out of this.","9040_3029"
3030	"Aye, General Gerald.","9040_3030"
3031	"You can purchase equipment and abilities at the barracks. It would be wise to visit there after each battle.","9040_3031"
3032	"We must reorganize our troops at the Barracks. They're a bit shaky after the last battle.","9040_3032"
3033	"Gerald, this mission won't be easy, and I don't need to remind you of how vital it is to our success.","9040_3033"
2130	"We're going on a search mission in the morning.","9040_2130"
2131	"For what?  Did Hugh lose his keys?  I'll pass...","9040_2131"
2132	"It seems we know where to locate the Dark leader who evaded our capture...","9040_2132"
2133	"Ah, a 'search and crack heads mission'... that's different.","9040_2133"
2134	"Where to?","9040_2134"
2136	"Greywood Forest. General Hugh has dispatched a Spearmen troop to join us. We leave early, so grab as much sleep as you can.","9040_2136"
2137	"Hmmph. Spearmen... Walden's boys?","9040_2137"
2138	"Unfortunately.","9040_2138"
2139	"Then I'd watch my back if I were you.","9040_2139"
2140	"Next morning..."
2141	"Ellen, are we all set?","9040_2141"
2142	"Infantry, Spearmen...all assembled.","9040_2142"
2143	"Let's go.","9040_2143"
2144	"Spearmen, march.","9040_2144"
3034	"Still here, Gerald? We need those plans!","9040_3034"
3035	"What's the use of training now?  Let's just go.","9040_3035"
3036	"What are we waiting for, Boss?","9040_3036"
2146	"Something's up ahead!","9040_2146"
2148	"Ready for battle! Remember--get the leader!","9040_2148"
2150	"Let's get out of this forest before we have another surprise upon us.","9040_2150"
2151	"Gerald, you couldn't have done this without my Spearmen.","9040_2151"
2152	"I know, Walden.  I'll make sure you get your just reward.","9040_2152"
2153	"We'll be heading back to join with Hugh's troop.","9040_2153"
2154	"See you soon.","9040_2154"
2160	"Gerald, good work. It will take some time to extract the information we need, so rest for now.","9040_2160"
2162	"Thank you, sir.","9040_2162"
2164	"Oh yes, Good work Gerald, single-handed too!","9040_2164"
2170	"Rewards...","9040_2170"
2171	"What a surprise... The General gave you rewards...","9040_2171"
2172	"What?","9040_2172"
2173	"We'll see just how much longer you can hog the spotlight. Don't even think about using my Spearmen next time.","9040_2173"
2174	"Walden, if you want to sit the next one out, be my guest.","9040_2174"
3050	"Arrogant bastard.","9040_3050"
3051	"We're in this together, remember?","9040_3051"
3052	"Not from where I'm standing.","9040_3052"
2180	"The Heck leader must have spilled it out. Hugh has called for all ranking officers.","9040_2180"
2181	"A shame, I tell ya. Couldn't even hold out for half a day...the last Dark was tougher.","9040_2181"
2182	"I'm sure there are more where he came from.","9040_2182"
3060	"The Heck leader must have spilled it out. Ranking officers are called to a meeting.","9040_3060"
3061	"Hey, Gerald.  Aren't you going?","9040_3061"
3062	"Gerald, where are you going?","9040_3062"
2190	"We've come across some valuable information.","9040_2190"
2191	"We suspected that Regnier was on the move, but didn't realize he was as close as the Glaucus River.","9040_2191"
2192	"After crossing the Glaucus River, Regnier has only to traverse around the south bend before he reaches us.","9040_2192"
2193	"There is a riverbank with a floodgate upstream on the Glaucus River. If we take control of the floodgate, we can stop Regnier from crossing. But the Darks have a trapped and fortified position there.  They will have to be routed.","9040_2193"
2194	"Four days from now, we strike at the Glaucus River. You will be called for the briefing. Dismissed.","9040_2194"
2200	"Another mission, and we're not even rested yet.","9040_2200"
2201	"If there are traps, will there be Sappers?","9040_2201"
2202	"Yeah. The capital sent some. They'll meet us at the base of the Glaucus River.","9040_2202"
2205	"Four days later, morning.","9040_2205"
3070	"Surprise attack at Glaucus, eh?","9040_3070"
3071	"Death trap more like it.","9040_3071"
3072	"Look, I know we've had our differences, but... come back in one piece.  I'd miss your arrogance...","9040_3072"
3073	"....Thanks.  I guess..","9040_3073"
3074	"General Hugh's troops are leaving. We should bring up the rear.","9040_3074"
3075	"Assemble the men.","9040_3075"
3076	"My god, what're we doing here, Gerald? Let's go!","9040_3076"
3077	"Hugh left already.","9040_3077"
3078	"Train when ya have the time. We have to leave now.","9040_3078"
2210	"General Hugh, are you alright?!","9040_2210"
2211	"Ah...the riverbank?","9040_2211"
2212	"Whoops...","9040_2212"
2213	"The important thing is you're alright, Sir.","9040_2213"
2214	"You fool! Have you abandoned all reason? Why do you think we went to Glaucus!!!","9040_2214"
2215	"Hugh, I couldn't..","9040_2215"
2216	"You've ruined our mission for ME?! You bring great dishonor to Hiroeiden!  Leave me!","9040_2216"
2220	"Gerald saved his life!","9040_2220"
2221	"Rupert, we lost the riverbank. If Regnier's men arrive, the scale of this war will be changed.  We hold our swords first, our hearts second.","9040_2221"
2222	"Bah, Regnier won't break through","9040_2222"
2223	"Anyone who can force Vells to submit to his band of Half-Vampires is a foe to be reckoned with.","9040_2223"
2224	"Hmmph...","9040_2224"
2225	"I'll go check our equipment.  Regnier will be here soon.","9040_2225"
2226	"We'll be in our quarters.","9040_2226"
3080	"No one may enter, sir. General Hugh doesn't wish to see anyone. He specifically mentioned you, Sir","9040_3080"
3081	"Hey, Gerald.","9040_3081"
3082	"I'm not really in the mood, Walden.","9040_3082"
3083	"Remember 10 years ago?","9040_3083"
3084	"What about 10 years ago?","9040_3084"
3085	"I remember the day when two greeners enlisted in the army. You and Rupert.","9040_3085"
3086	"I remember a greener, too. He got stomach cramps at the worst times.","9040_3086"
3087	"Hey, you know how painful those can be?","9040_3087"
3088	"What's your point?","9040_3088"
3089	"We're in a bad spot again.","9040_3089"
3090	"Yeah, royally screwed.","9040_3090"
3091	"Still, I envy you.","9040_3091"
3092	"Yeah?  Then the next time Hugh wants to chew me out--I'll send you in instead...","9040_3092"
3093	"Be that way. Listen, Regnier's called the Immortal Warrior among the Darks. He holds an unhold power. Don't take him lightly.","9040_3093"
3094	"I've heard the rumors.  But thanks.  You watch yourself out there, too.","9040_3094"
3095	"Leaving won't solve anything. I must regain my standing with Hugh. And I'll reclaim it with what I know best:  Battle.","9040_3095"
3100	"Walden's probably dancing in glee by now.","9040_3100"
3101	"He's not the one that disobeyed orders...","9040_3101"
3102	"He's envied you ever since basic training.  Probably my fault.","9040_3102"
3103	"No, people like that can't function unless they are the center of attention.  You take that away from them and their world goes down the drain.","9040_3103"
3104	"Somebody should flush HIM down the drain.  Hah ah!","9040_3104"
3105	"Maybe so, but he is on our side, Rupert! We need him out there.","9040_3105"
3106	"I suppose. In any cse, I'm glad I have you as a friend, Gerald.","9040_3106"
3107	"The pleasure is mine...","9040_3107"
3108	"So, I guess we're done disobeyin' orders, Huh...","9040_3108"
2230	"Hey Boss, General Hugh is looking for you.","9040_2230"
2231	"Hold on to yer butt.","9040_2231"
2235	"General Hugh's lookin' for ya. Better go see him.","9040_2235"
2236	"Hugh was looking for you, Gerald.","9040_2236"
2237	"Let's do the training after you spoke with Hugh.","9040_2237"
2240	"Gerald.","9040_2240"
2241	"Yes, General Hugh.","9040_2241"
2242	"How's Rupert?","9040_2242"
2243	"The same.","9040_2243"
2244	"Since that boy quit drinking, he's be one of the best.","9040_2244"
2245	"Yes, sir.","9040_2245"
2246	"You know, death is a funny thing.","9040_2246"
2247	"Sir?","9040_2247"
2248	"You should have had held the riverbank. Regnier would be lost, and fewer soldiers would be sacrificed.","9040_2248"
2249	"I didn't think we could afford to lose you, Sir.","9040_2249"
2250	"A soldier's duty is indeed to his General and that means to the orders he has given.","9040_2250"
2251	"Yes Sir.","9040_2251"
2252	"You must take a wider view of things, Gerald.  This war is not you against them, but good against evil.  You are merely the god's pawn in this.  In that path lies your destiny.","9040_2252"
2253	"I'll try to remember that, Sir.","9040_2253"
2254	"You'll do more than try.  When Regnier approaches we must hold him or all is lost.  I am counting on you, Gerald.","9040_2254"
2255	"Yes Sir.  Thank you Sir.","9040_2255"
3110	"Regnier is almost here. General Hugh is going to brief us on the mission.","9040_3110"
3111	"So, the immortal comes at last","9040_3111"
3112	"Immortal?  Regnier? You're all giving him too much credit...","9040_3112"
3113	"We should get to the tactics room.","9040_3113"
3120	"Everyone assembled? Soldiers, as we feared, Regnier is coming. Our mistakes of the past must stay in the past.  Today we must hold Regnier at bay.","9040_3120"
3121	"We will meet the enemy at Woodenshade. The trees there are ideal for fire attacks. We'll lure them into the woods and rain fire upon them. Be alert.  I will inform our commanders as we move further into the woods.","9040_3121"
3122	"We need to get him this time--no excuses."
3123	"Regnier is the key.  Once he falls, his army will scatter like the chickens they are, and we can continue to the east, toward the Holy Ground.","9040_3123"
3124	"Exactly.  Regnier first--then the Holy ground.  Let's do this.","9040_3124"
3125	"...."
3127	"We shoudn't be here. Let's go to Woodenshade and smash Regnier into a pulp!","9040_3127"
3128	"Gerald, do not fail me this time.","9040_3128"
3129	"Get ready to leave. Regnier is coming.","9040_3129"
2260	"Men, I know you've all heard of Regnier. Word is that he shoots lightning from his ass and has eight horns on his head.  Well I tell you he's only an Orc, or a Heck-- maybe even a mindless, brutish Ogre, but nothing more!","9040_2260"
2261	"The Dark Legion is built on fear and intimidation.  Individually, they may seem bigger and stronger than us, but they can't work together the way that we can!  We will strike at its heart and they shall fall!","9040_2261"
2262	"Trust your sword-brothers and fight on.  Together we will be victorious.","9040_2262"
2270	"General Hugh...Hugh...","9040_2270"
2271	"We must head for Esse.","9040_2271"
2272	"Had we not been there, Hugh would not have been so desperate...by our foolish desires, we have lost a great General.","9040_2272"
2273	"Think only of your safety for now, Majesty. General Hugh gave us this chance with his life. We must hurry.","9040_2273"
2274	"Lead on...","9040_2274"
2280	"Gerald, maybe the General is alive. How 'bout if we go look fer him at Woodenshade?","9040_2280"
2281	"And what if the Darks storms Esse while we're gone? We need every soldier we have.","9040_2281"
2282	"Ellen! General Hugh's alive! In Woodenshade!","9040_2282"
2283	"Think, you brute! If we split our forces, how will we defend this place? And what if we meet Regnier with our split troops? Then we truly doom ourselves!","9040_2283"
2284	"You yella?","9040_2284"
2285	"Ellen's right, Rupert. I'm torn as you are, but we have no choice.","9040_2285"
2286	"You're gonna let Hugh rot in hell?  Damn the both of you!","9040_2286"
2287	"Rupert!","9040_2287"
2288	"He had no call to say that...","9040_2288"
2289	"He's not mad at us... Look, Rupert and I were orphans. Nobody gave a damn about us except for Hugh. He's been like a father to us.  Practically raised us.  He showed us how to be men -- to be soldiers.","9040_2289"
2290	"And your 'father' told you what he wanted.  You must respect his wishes.","9040_2290"
2291	"I know.  You're right.  Swords first.  Hearts second. Just give Rupert a little time... Hey, the soldiers must be tired. Give out some food from the storage to lighten their moods, but stay sharp. I'll go see His Majesty.","9040_2291"
2300	"Big jerk... OK Boss...","9040_2300"
2301	"General Hugh might be alive. Please, Gerald. Let's go look fer him.","9040_2301"
2302	"I must consult with the King.","9040_2302"
2310	"Ah, Gerald. I'm glad you came.","9040_2310"
2311	"I apologize that Esse is too humble a place for His Majesty's comfort...","9040_2311"
2312	"No need for formalities now. I must speak with you on a matter of importance to the realm...","9040_2312"
2313	"Gerald, The troops need a leader they can follow.  Therefore, you will fill the late General's position.","9040_2313"
2314	"I... I am not worthy, Sire.","9040_2314"
2315	"General Hugh thought you were, he told me so many times.  I happen to agree.  And now it appears to be the god's will as well...  Accept the commision--by order of your King.","9040_2315"
2316	"I live to serve, your Majesty","9040_2316"
2319	"This isn't right...","9040_2319"
2320	"Ah, 'General' Gerald.","9040_2320"
2321	"Please, Walden. Not now.","9040_2321"
2322	"I was just going to congratulate you.","9040_2322"
2323	"Right.","9040_2323"
2324	"Oh...I'm bitter about it, but still, congratulations are in order.","9040_2324"
2325	"Well, I don't really feel like being congratulated.","9040_2325"
3130	"I'm sorry about General Hugh, though. My sympathies.","9040_3130"
3131	"Thanks.  Hey, you were right about Regnier, how'd you know?","9040_3131"
3132	"..I hear things.  Wish I could have done something more...","9040_3132"
2326	"Anyway...I also hear the Hecks are moving in the south.","9040_2326"
2327	"South?","9040_2327"
2328	"I caught a Heck while on patrol yesterday. A surveyor of sorts. You know what that means.","9040_2328"
2329	"They're making camp.","9040_2329"
2330	"Couldn't get much from torturing it, but I did pluck out this parchment. Filthy as hell.","9040_2330"
2331	"It says a horde of Sappers is passing to the southeast two days from now. And the beauty of it is... they don't know that we know...","9040_2331"
2332	"Hmm...thanks.","9040_2332"
2340	"Well, if it isn't the General himself..."
2341	"Look, Rupert.","9040_2341"
2342	"What?! You left him out there!  Then you come back and take his post?!  Get away from me...","9040_2342"
2343	"I thought you were done drinking.","9040_2343"
2344	"Shut it, 'General'.","9040_2344"
2350	"You wanted to see me Boss? ...Am I interupting?","9040_2350"
2351	"Hecks are passing through the south two days from now. Walden has already sent Scouts, so we'll know more about it soon. Ready the men.","9040_2351"
2352	"You think Walden's reliable?","9040_2352"
2353    "He was right about Regnier. Wasn't he, Rupert?","9040_2353"
2354	"His Majesty is resting. You may not see him now.","9040_2354"
2355	"We'll have to wait for Walden's Scouts.","9040_2355"
2360	"Gerald, the Scouts are back. The Darks have passed Woodenshade, and will probably be at Lordslane by tomorrow's sunset.","9040_2360"
2361	"They're closer that we thought. If they pass Lordslane, we'll have to take'em head on","9040_2361"
2362	"Any ideas?","9040_2362"
2363	"If we hurry, we can surprise them at Lordslane. We could surprise them good...","9040_2363"
2364	"I'll have the men assembled at the castle gate.","9040_2364"
2366	"The Scout has returned. My troops are waiting at the gate. I should hurry to Lordslane.","9040_2366"
2370	"Just in the nick of time. Soon, their transport will be seen to the south. We'll wreak havock of them!  Be ready!","9040_2370"
2371	"Walden surprised me by helping us out, Boss.","9040_2371"
2372	"I agree on both counts...","9040_2372"
2380	"Way to go everyone!","9040_2380"
2381	"...I got a weird feeling about this...","9040_2381"
2382	"I think His Majesty will be pleased.","9040_2382"
2391	"What? How did the Hecks come to Esse...?","9040_2391"
2392	"...Just great...","9040_2392"
2393	"The transport--it was bait...damn it!","9040_2393"
2394	"Someone's comin'","9040_2394"
2400	"Ah...I'm saved!","9040_2400"
2401	"What happened here, soldier?","9040_2401"
2402	"Soon after you left, they took us by surprise.","9040_2402"
2403	"Captain Walden evacuated His Majesty and  a few others, but Esse is in ruins. All the townsfolk and troops left behind were killed.","9040_2403"
2404	"His Majesty has gone to Hironeiden, then...?","9040_2404"
2405	"Yes, sir. That's all I know, Sir...","9040_2405"
2406	"Good man. Ellen, give this soldier food and water. Tend to his wounds.","9040_2406"
2407	"I don't like this, Gerald.  Walden's gonna screw this whole thing up.","9040_2407"
2408	"Damn it.  We'll regroup at Hironeiden and seek some answers.","9040_2408"
2409	"Smells sour.  Nope, don't like it one bit.","9040_2409"
2415	"I think they have a Scout out there, Boss.","9040_2415"
2416	"They'll be here soon.  Hironeiden's across the river. Hurry.","9040_2416"
2420	"Move quickly! We'll have to beat them there!","9040_2420"
2430	"I got a bad feeling about this.","9040_2430"
2431	"I go to see the King.  Wait for me at the quarters.","9040_2431"
2432	"I thought you were going to see the King.","9040_2432"
2433	"We still need to...","9040_2433"
2434	"The enemy strengthens its position but there's not much to do right now.","9040_2434"
2440	"Your Majesty...","9040_2440"
2441	"Gerald, Regnier razed Esse. Captain Walden helped us flee to Hironeiden, but was then captured by the enemy.","9040_2441"
2442	"I have failed, Sire. The Hecks have proven too powerful for my abilities to defend you.","9040_2442"
2443	"Enough.  We will not allow you to accept the blame.  It is Our own underestimation of this Regnier that has brought this great grief.  You are my general until I decree otherwise.","9040_2443"
2444	"I am yours to command, your Majesty."
2445	"As you may have noticed, the Darks are cutting off Hironeiden's supplies. Unless we act, they will starve us out, and take us at their leisure.","9040_2445"
2446	"The Hironeiden Army will die fighting, Sire.","9040_2446"
2447	"If this could be solved with death, our burden would be lighter. But it is not so. No, we must request the aid of the Dwarves and Elves.","9040_2447"
2448	"If Hironeiden falls, they will be the next targets. They will not refuse us lightly.","9040_2448"
2449	"There are messengers who are willing to reach Owltors despite the danger. You are to escort them so that they might be free of the enemy's hands.","9040_2449"
2450	"I will do my best, Sire.","9040_2450"
2451	"No, you will succeed. Failure in this means the end of us all. That is not an option, General Gerald.  Are we perfectly understood?","9040_2451"
2452	"Yes, your Majesty.","9040_2452"
2454	"The messengers are ready. If you're prepared, leave for Stormdeen.","9040_2454"
2455	"I can't leave until Ellen, Rupert and I discuss the escorting of the messengers.","9040_2455"
2460	"Hey, Gerald.","9040_2460"
2461	"What does the King say?","9040_2461"
2462	"Messengers are being sent to the Dwarves and Elves at Owltors.  The King proposes and Alliance...","9040_2462"
2463	"Elves...","9040_2463"
2464	"Boss, that way is teeming with Hecks!","9040_2464"
2465	"I know. But, if they can reach Stormdeen, just one of us will be sufficient in escorting them from there on.","9040_2465"
2466	"I'll go.","9040_2466"
2467	"That... probably would be best..."
2468	"C'mon, Gerald.  Let me do this.","9040_2468"
2469	"You sure you'll be alright, Rupert?","9040_2469"
2470	"Of course. I'm back at a hundred percent. Trust me.","9040_2470"
2471	"It's all yours.  The Elves should give you a warmer welcome than if I went.  Good luck, Rupert -- You'll need it."
2472	"Ok Rupert, get ready and meet me at the gate. We'll leave from the north wall.","9040_2472"
2473	"You got it.","9040_2473"
2474	"Ellen.  You Ok?  You seem, uh...","9040_2474"
2475	"I'm fine, sir.","9040_2475"
2476	"Don't worry, Gorgeous, I'll think of some way that you can repay me...","9040_2476"
2477	"Right.  How 'bout when you come back I kick your wise ass...","9040_2477"
2480	"I don't know what the Hecks are planning, but these messengers must succeed before they strike. You must hurry, Rupert...","9040_2480"
2481	"Since Rupert will lead the messengers, you're short of an aide. You can appoint a new one at the Barrack.","9040_2481"
2482	"You can appoint a newly hired leader or one of the officers as your new aide. Try to pick someone with at least half a brain...","9040_2482"
2490	"Rupert will succeed...I'm sure of it.  What we have to do now is hold out and wait for him to return. Back to Hironeiden!","9040_2490"
2491	"Two month later.","9040_2491"
2500	"The King calls for you.","9040_2500"
2501	"On my way. He's probably wondering about the messengers...","9040_2501"
2505	"His Majesty is looking for me. I have to go.","9040_2505"
2506	"The King's probably concerned that Rupert hasn't come back yet. To tell you the truth, so am I.","9040_2506"
2510	"Gerald, any news?","9040_2510"
2511	"No, Sire. But they will come.","9040_2511"
2512	"They're late...","9040_2512"
2513	"True Sire, but Rupert knows what needs to be done, and he'll do it."
2514	"And the enemy shows no signs of attack?","9040_2514"
2515	"No signs in particular, Sire.","9040_2515"
2516	"Are they trying to starve us to death...? How long will our provisions last?","9040_2516"
2517	"Two weeks at best, Sire.","9040_2517"
2518	"We must content ourselves that we are in Rupert's hands... Yet, waiting is the most difficult battle of them all.","9040_2518"
2519	"Indeed, your Majesty.","9040_2519"
2530	"What's up, Ellen?"
2531	"I... just wonder if Rupert got there. To just wait like this...","9040_2531"
2532	"He'll be back.","9040_2532"
2533	"And what are they up to? They're not moving an inch out there.","9040_2533"
2534	"Probably waiting for us to starve. Come on, Rupert","9040_2534"
2535	"Ellen, let's check the castle walls. The quiet of our enemy is unnerving.","9040_2535"
2536	"Not back yet? We are growing concerned...","9040_2536"
2540	"Impressive, for a beer-soaked brute.","9040_2540"
2541	"Better than a whining shrew... By the way, Ellen, didn't I hear you call out Gerald's name in battle?","9040_2541"
2542	"That's ridiculous.","9040_2542"
2543	"If you say so... sure did sound like it, though.","9040_2543"
2544	"Haven't you two had enough fighting for one day?  Rupert, you did well.","9040_2544"
2545	"Nah, it was nothin'. And wait 'til you taste Dwarven Ale.  It's so good I don't mind the little glasses!","9040_2545"
2550	"You have saved Hironeiden!  We commend your valor!","9040_2550"
2551	"Sire, you need not have come out to meet us...","9040_2551"
2552	"There are Dwarves and Elves in the main castle. They must see how we praise our heros.","9040_2552"
2553	"Ah... You are most gracious, your Majesty!","9040_2553"
2554	"Don't overdo it. Come, Gerald. We have much to discuss.","9040_2554"
2560	"First, we thank the Dwarves and Elves for aiding Hironeiden in its greatest peril.","9040_2560"
2561	"The Dark Legion is our enemy just as it is yours.","9040_2561"
2562	"Until Bersia is free of the Vells, we High Elves shall always aid thee.","9040_2562"
2563	"And we you. Now, there is a matter of some importance you wished to discuss?","9040_2563"
2564	"Indeed. The Ancient Heart.","9040_2564"
2565	"Please.. Pardon us but The Ecclesian Patriarchal Ministry has deemed any reference to the mentioned item as...falicy and blasphemy.  Its discussion is pointless.","9040_2565"
2566	"It's buried at the Holy Ground site.","9040_2566"
2567	"What?","9040_2567"
2568	"Your Majesty's beliefs not withstanding; the Ancient Heart exists, and it must be preserved from evil hands.","9040_2568"
2569	"Now, Esse and the Holy Ground must be reclaimed for Hironeiden, and we believe we must retrieve the Ancient Heart and forever seal it away.  Therefore, Elves and Hironeiden do share a common goal -- the retaking of the Holy Ground.","9040_2569"
2570	"This is a very serious matter, Hironeiden King. Accept as evidence the alliance of Dwarves and Elves--who have never before shared any fondness...","9040_2570"
2571	"Very well. Exactly what part does Hironeiden play in all of this?","9040_2571"
2572	"Reclaim the Holy Ground and protect it while we search for the Ancient Heart. Our Elves and the Dwarves will assist you.","9040_2572"
2573	"General Gerald, how long will it take to reassemble the army?","9040_2573"
2574	"About two months, Sire.","9040_2574"
2575	"That seems reasonable to us...","9040_2575"
2576	"Sire, even a month maybe too long.","9040_2576"
2577	"..Be aware, the hastier we prepare, the more burden will be placed upon the Elves and Dwarves.","9040_2577"
2578	"What say you then, honored comrades?","9040_2578"
2579	"We concur.","9040_2579"
2580	"As do we.","9040_2580"
2590	"So be it. General Gerald, begin preparations immediately.  We march in one month's time.","9040_2590"
2595	"Yes, your Majesty.","9040_2595"
2597	"I'll have to tell Rupert and Ellen and reorganize the troops.","9040_2597"
2598	"We have but a month to prepare for war. I can't leave now.","9040_2598"
2600	"Gerald, this ale...one o' the finest I've ever tasted, second only to Dwarven ale!","9040_2600"
2601	"You earned it Rupert!  So, Ellen, how do you feel about fighting side by side with elves?","9040_2601"
2602	"As long as they keep their hands and eyes on the enemy--I have no quarrel with them.  But let one of the pointy-earred freaks try anything with me and... "
2603	"Ellen, pay no heed to them. They aren't going to hurt you.","9040_2603"
2604	"I'd worry more about the elves if I was you, Gerald!  Hey, Any news from the hill?","9040_2604"
2605	"Not much. There will be a formal announcement soon. Suffice it to say that we are leaving in a month to reclaim the Holy Ground.","9040_2605"
2606	"Alright! Only 30 days 'til payback time. Payback for Hugh and the rest of our countrymen.  I just wish we could field a larger force","9040_2606"
2607	"The Dwarves and Elves will make up for our losses in man power.","9040_2607"
2608	"Yeah, well... Dwarves I can deal with, but Elves...","9040_2608"
2609	"Seems to be the consensus around here.  Let's get some sleep.  We're gonna need it.","9040_2609"
2610	"One month later.","9040_2610"
2620	"Gerald, the First Army has left. We should be movin' along, too.","9040_2620"
2621	"Check the equipment one last time before leaving.","9040_2621"
2622	"I'll meet you at the gate.","9040_2622"
2625	"His Majesty and the Elves already left. We should get going, too.","9040_2625"
2626	"We don't have time to train now. Let's go.","9040_2626"
2630	"Gerald, Scouts have found a Heck camp to the southeast. It's no better than a shanty village. But they have about fifteen troops and some Scorpions.","9040_2630"
2631	"They think they can settle here?  Never!  We'll burn them down...kill'em all!","9040_2631"
2632	"But they outnumber us--and we have a mission already, Boss!","9040_2632"
2633	"No! I can't abide Swines settling down in our lands. We'll set them ablaze and retreat--just like they did to us!","9040_2633"
2634	"HaHa! Now you're talking, Gerald!","9040_2634"
2635	"But... fifteen troops and Scorpions!","9040_2635"
2636	"I heard you the first time. It's their turn to suffer.  They will burn in agony.  I swear it.","9040_2636"
2637	"Boss... this isn't a good idea."
2640	"I still don't feel satisfied when I think of all they did.","9040_2640"
2641	"That's 'cause Regnier's still breathing...  I won't be satisfied until he's crushed under my hammer...","9040_2641"
2642	"I hear ya.","9040_2642"
2650	"Home, sweet home!","9040_2650"
2651	"Esse is...intact?","9040_2651"
2652	"They fled in haste...not much fightin' done here...ain't that the Ecclesian boys over there?","9040_2652"
2653	"Yeah... I need to go to the tactics room and find out what's going on.","9040_2653"
2660	"...the Patriarchal Army...?","9040_2660"
2661	"Ah, you've come, General Gerald. I present Captain Walter from Eccleisa.","9040_2661"
2662	"Pleased to meet you. I'm Captain of the Ecclesian Patriarchal Guards.","9040_2662"
2663	"Gerald, General of the Hironeiden Crusade.","9040_2663"
2664	"Now then, tell us what you want of us, Captain Walter.","9040_2664"
2665	"To be blunt, your Majesty, the Ecclesian Army is having trouble defeating Regnier at Nymphbarren near the Holy Ground site.","9040_2665"
2666	"Regnier...","9040_2666"
2667	"The Patriarchal Army is coming with Storm Riders, but they alone cannot amount to much.","9040_2667"
2668	"Storm Riders? Is it not their mating season currently? They're... unstable during mating seasons...","9040_2668"
2669	"Indeed Sire. The situation is so grim that we had to drug them to end the mating cycle. In short, I request that Hironeiden assist our Reclamation Army at Nymphbarren.","9040_2669"
2670	"The Reclamation Army marched to the Holy Ground with purposes different from ours. And those who helped us in defending our capital were Dwarves and Elves.","9040_2670"
2671	"Majesty, we've been a bit preoccupied with Regnier and the vermon from Hextor.","9040_2671"
2672	"That said, Ecclesia places very high value on the Holy Ground. Though we did not directly aid Hironeiden's crusade, we are walking on the same path.","9040_2672"
2673	"So...if Hironeiden assists the Reclamation Army, what will Ecclesia do for us?","9040_2673"
2674	"We will, in turn, assist you in all ways, including military aid and raw materials to rebuild Esse and Hironeiden. And after we reclaim the Holy Ground, we will hold no claims to the location.","9040_2674"
2675	"Hmmm.  That is an extremely 'generous' offer, Captain.... There must be some, as yet unspoken, reason why Ecclesia is so motivated in this.","9040_2675"
2676	"Your Majesty, please understand I'm not empowered to reveal more, but the Patriarch assures us of his, obviously religous, reasons.","9040_2676"
2677	"Indeed. Geaneral Gerald, when can you depart for Nymphbarren?","9040_2677"
2678	"At you command, Sire, provided we restock supplies.","9040_2678"
2679	"Excellent. Make it so. Captain Walter, we march upon receiving the offer in writing from his Holiness the Patriarch.","9040_2679"
2680	"It shall be done, Your majesty.","9040_2680"
2681	"Looks like His Majesty is still reviewing the Ecclesian treaty. I shouldn't interrupt now.","9040_2681"
2682	"We haven't been ordered to move out yet. We need to wait.","9040_2682"
2690	"Regnier's in the Holy Ground.","9040_2690"
2691	"What? What are we waiting for?! Let's take him!!","9040_2691"
2692	"We'll get our chance, Rupert. I promise you that","9040_2692"
