Oh, you're here.
Perfect timing.
Here we go...
|
Gwynn
|
Has everyone gathered? Very well, attention!
The deputy commander of the Royal Army, Riordan, has arrived.
From this point forward, Riordan will be in command.
Follow his orders to the letter.
Riordan, sir, go ahead.
|
Riordan
|
I am Deputy Commander Riordan.
I trust no further introduction is needed.
We have a very important mission ahead,
one that will be closely watched by the Pontiff's Court.
I have name this mission 'Operation Salvation'.
All details are to be kept secret from civilians.
Our taks is to recover the Holy Artifact from the Fomors.
Gwynn, explain the details.
|
Gwynn
|
Yes sir! Our main target is Fomor called 'Ezroch'.
It is a formidable foe, and wields a double-bladed axe.
While the advance group distracts Ezroch,
the main group will flank and attack from the rear.
|
Riordan
|
Bear in mind that failure is not an option!
The Holy Artifact must be recovered at all costs.
We will depart for Hoarfrost Depths in 30 minutes.
Squad commanders, confirm preparations.
Torrin, please address the troops.
|
Torrin
|
Please bring the Holy Artifact back safely.
Good luck to you all.
|
Riordan
|
Everyone dismissed.
Stay focused.
|
|
(The Mercenary Outpost is noisy, talking about the mission.)
|
Gwynn
|
<Fiona>, come over here for a second.
Riordan, this is the person I told you about.
The one who found the snow creatures in Hoarfrost Depths
and recovered the Holy Artifact pouch.
<Fiona> has been vital to our mission thus far
and will help us again in the upcoming mission.
(Gwynn turns sternly to you.)
Introduce yourself to Riordan, <Fiona>.
|
Riordan
|
Hmm, is this all true? You look young.
Does this mercenary have much experience?
|
Gwynn
|
Not a great deal, no, sir.
|
Riordan
|
Gwynn, I believe I decided to include only
veteran mercenaries in this mission.
I'm not sure about including a rookie,
even one as talented as you say.
|
Gwynn
|
They are trustworthy. I have my doubts sometimes...
but they always exceed my expectations.
|
Riordan
|
Very well, I shall trust your judgement.
Oh, speaking of which. You know that Ainle incident...
|
Riordan
|
Remember the incident that killed one of our cadets?
Ellis, I believe it was?
I remember giving him an award...
I heard you were particularly found of him.
I am sorry for what happened.
|
Riordan
|
However, I haven't heard of any disciplinary action
taken on the mercenary involved.
Care to explain?
|
Gwynn
|
Oh...that...
So, what happened was...
|
Riordan
|
Yes, I figured as much.
Your face tells the whole story.
So, this is also the mercenary who was
involved in that incident?
|
Riordan
|
Get your act together, soldier!
I will not tolerate dereliction of duty.
I can't believe you were trying to assign
someone who was involved in the death of a cadet...
I thought you understood that rules are
essential to the Royal Army.
I am very disappointed in you.
Remove this mercenary from the mission.
|
Riordan
|
Gwynn, the more you screw up, the harder
it is for you to be assigned back to Keaghan.
I can't recommend someone who doesn't follow
rules to be Keaghan's aide.
|
Riordan
|
Very good. I'm going to speak with Torrin,
so I expect you to get things done.
As I have commanded, Gwynn.
|
Gwynn
|
<Fiona>...I am sorry.
I must exclude you from this mission.
I had no idea Riordan still remembered
that incident.
I...can't disobey the commander's order.
I suppose, in a way, he is right.
I guess I became less disciplined.
But, I will give you another mission.
Did you hear that the advance group
will draw Ezroch's attention?
I want you to be part of that mission.
I know you can do this.
