Alaric: We have arrived at the garrison dividing the Griffin Empire from the dwarven lands.
Laszlo: Stupid dwarves and their Scottish accents. Laszlo tired of bagpipes. We invade and kill all of them, now!
Alaric: Hold on a moment. We have agreed to a parley.
Freyda: I will do the talking. Can someone shut Laszlo up?
Shieldguard: Hmm. I’ll let Freyda pass, but only if she agrees not to leave red troops behind. However, she may bring blue troops, but just enough to allow her the means to make a calculated escape should things go awry.
Shieldguard: Also, there will be a very expensive toll.
Freyda: These dwarves speak in riddles.
Shieldguard: Look lady, don’t fuck with us. Bring us gold and leave behind your bad-ass super-soldier red army. It’s that easy.
Freyda: Sounds good.
Freyda: Okay, team. I’ll go get Prince Andrei from Tor Hrall. Alaric, please make sure Laszlo doesn’t do anything stupid. I swear, if he screws this up…
Alaric: I don’t like these arrogant dwarven demands, but go and make it quick.
Freyda: Ooh, nice halls. I come in peace. Where is Prince Andrei? We are very worried about him.
Wulfstan: He’s safe. Where’s Duncan? I trust he is safe as well? We have a dwarven saying, lass…
Messenger: Emergency! Laszlo is attacking our gate! The humans have betrayed us!
Laszlo: Now Laszlo mad! *smash*
Freyda: #$@^&*@#!
Wulfstan: Diplomatic mission my ass. Guards! Take her back to the border.
Rolf: What!? She’s a valuable prisoner.
Wulfstan: Hey, sinister-looking, obviously evil brother of mine, I gave my word that she’d be given safe passage and I’m sticking to it.
Rolf: Weak fool. You may have given your word, but I did not. I will hunt her down! Prepare the army!
Freyda: When Asha handed out brains, Laszlo thought she said trains and stepped out of the way.
Paladin: Milady, Rolf is hot on our heels. We had better hurry back to the gate.
Freyda: No, I’ve had enough of this madness. I am finished with their slaughters and insanities. Alaric, Laszlo, and St. Isabel can all kiss my armored ass. I’m going to war with all of them now.
Paladin: Okay, well. Your anarchist sentiment is commendable. But we should still get out of here. Rolf’s army is pretty angry.
Freyda: You’re right. Let’s go.
Paladin: …
Freyda: How come Rolf isn’t chasing me around? Damn this bad enemy AI programming.
Meanwhile, underground…
Thralsai: I am sooo angry. Curse Raelag for killing my family!
Shadya: Well helllllo there, my Soulscar friend.
Thralsai: You! You were Raelag’s right hand woman. Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t kill you on the spot.
Shadya: Want to join the demons?
Thralsai: Really? Yay!
