Fall Before Dusk

Description

It’s time to infiltrate Greifberg. We’ll enter through a secret tunnel and strike at Brencis, while Catalin’s troops keep him busy with a false siege. The castle falls before dusk!

Objectives

Objective	Text
Inspect the tunnels	Marat’s scouts are nowhere to be seen. We must inspect the tunnels beneath the castle to ensure it’s safe to pass.
Reach the ladder	Marat’s scouts set up a ladder, so they should be somewhere nearby.
Check the rest of the tunnel	Marat’s scouts are dead. We need to check the rest of the tunnel and find out what killed them.
Defeat Bakir	That madman Bakir ambushed me and Marat in the dungeons, blocking our way to the prison cells. We need to get rid of him as quickly as possible.
Defeat the Warden	The prison warden blocked our way to the cells. We need to deal with him as quickly as possible.
Find a way to the courtyard	We must find a way to the courtyard and see how the siege goes. But it won’t be easy. The castle’s on high alert now.
Talk to the manumits	A few manumits are holed up by the gate. I should ask them how things are going on their end.
Look for your family	We’ve made it into the prison. My family should be locked up here. I must find them!
Look for any prisoners willing to fight	We’ve made it into the prison. Maybe some folk locked up here will be willing to join our fight? Either way, we should free them all.
Enter the castle	The courtyard is cleared. Next, the castle.
Defeat Ambrus	Ambrus is too proud for his own good, and loyal to Brencis beyond reason. We have to take him down.
Defeat Ambrus’s lieutenants	Loyal to the very end, those men still serve Ambrus, even after his death. But they’ll soon follow in their master’s footsteps.
Find the throne room	Now that we’re inside the castle, we need to join Catalin and his men in the throne room. But which way is it?
Escape Xanthe’s trap	We’ve got ourselves caught in a nightmarish loop, a magical trap woven by Boyaress Xanthe. There must be some way out of this nightmare.
Chase after Brencis	Brencis slipped away from me, but I won’t let him escape!
Find Brencis	Brencis is still in the castle. Toying with me, taunting my every step… I’ll hunt him down, even if it’s the last thing I ever do.
Defeat Brencis	Using my family as a vicious welcome is Brencis’s last act of cruelty. This nightmare ends with him – here and now.
Defeat Xanthe	Xanthe is the last vrakhir standing between me and Brencis. I came this far, I won’t let her stop me now.
Defeat Xanthe’s lieutenants	Xanthe’s blood slaves are the last thing standing between me and Brencis. I’ve come this far, I won’t let them stop me now.

Outcomes

Outcome	Text
1	We defeated Brencis, but Marat paid the ultimate price… He saved Catalin’s life by sacrificing his own. Now, Skender’s son is set to become the next ruler of Vale Sangora.
2	We defeated Brencis. Catalin is gone as well, which isn’t a loss in my book. I’m glad at least Marat lives to see his rebellion’s victory, though many of the manumits weren’t so lucky.
3	We’ve defeated Brencis. Now, Catalin is set to become the next ruler of Vale Sangora. Let’s hope he won’t tread in his father’s footsteps. I’m glad Marat lives to see his rebellion’s victory, though many of the manumits weren’t so lucky.
4	We defeated Brencis, but Marat paid the ultimate price. Catalin is gone as well, so what now? Who will become Vale Sangora’s next knyaz? Honestly, I don’t care. I just hope all the horrors and bloodshed are finally over.
