Geffrye of Bayeaux's dialogue

7 1 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 2 1 1 0,2,2,0,0 Welcome thief. Please, don't be alarmed. My name is Geffrye. I was the architect of Aeternis. I have been instructed to answer, within the realms of the test, the questions of those that survive this far. (BREAK) Please, ask on. Ge1_A 0 0 1 2 1 2 0 Greetings again friend. I have been instructed to answer, within the realms of the test, the questions of those that survive this far. (BREAK) Please, ask on. Ge1_AB 0 0 1 2 1 2 0 27 0 101 1 0,2,1,21,0 0 What can you tell me of Sir Guy? 1 1 0 He was a fine man of honour. He pursued a traitor amongst us named Malik into the outside world, but he was locked out by Vincent, a follower of Malik. (BREAK) Without grailstone, we fear he perished. Ge2_101 0 0 0 102 3 0,1,3,1,0 0,9,4,0,0 0,5,5,1,0 1 5,434 Do you know anything about alchemical experiments that were conducted in the temple? 1 1 0 Yes. I do. But it is not my pervue to tell you the inner secrets of our history. Ge2_102 0 0 0 11 0 0 What can you tell me about the rest of this place? 1 1 0 Do you think me a traitor. You are being tested. I cannot help you. Ge2_11 0 0 0 12 0 0 What can you tell me about grailstone? 1 1 0 When first we came here, it glistened like jewels about the floor. (BREAK) We mined it, but when the traitor Malik left, he took it with him. (BREAK) Over a century of relentless toil was in that sack. We were mortified. Without grailstone, the centuries catch up with frail human flesh. The thought that our errors allowed this monster to escape into the world of men, to live perhaps forever, working against the will of God, fills us with shame. Ge2_12 0 0 0 13 0 0 Tell me more of yourself Geffrye. 1 1 0 What is there to tell. I have seen wonders and horrors in this place. When Malik was sane, I went with him to the deeper realms of the lower caves. (BREAK) A time of discovery when I was so young thief. My heart sang with the great work before me. My head filled with visions of the future. Aeternis would have become the centre of the world. (BREAK) As you are being tested thief, so was I. By God. I have had to watch my proud dreams crumble to dust while the world beyond forgets us and all we stood for. Ge2_13 0 0 0 15 0 0 There are dangerous animals down here. What are they? How did they get here? 1 1 0 I imagine they were God's part in the test. He sent them down here, I suspect, before the sixth day of creation. Fearsome creatures they are indeed. And more to come, that make those you have seen look like tadpoles in the pond. Ge2_15 0 0 0 16 0 0 How many others like me have you met? 1 1 0 I have seen some. (BREAK) Yes. They are ahead of you. But fear not, there is only one fated by God to carry the grail. If it is you, you will prevail. (BREAK) And, indeed, surely one, an ill-tempered lout will die before long. Warren, he said he was called. Ge2_16 0 0 0 162 2 0,2,1,16,0 0,7,3,11,0 4 0,8,1,8,0 0,8,1,10,0 0,8,1,17,0 0,2,1,11,0 What can you tell me about spies within the temple? 1 1 0 We have never discovered their identity beyond their codenames Spider and Cobweb. But beware thief. One of them is intent on disrupting the test. He is as likely to kill you as not. Ge2_162 0 0 0 19 4 5,445 0,7,3,8,0 0,7,3,11,0 5,326 1 5,316 I found a parchment that mentioned the Templar's plans to infiltrate the Scottish Freemasons. Did they succeed? 1 1 0 (anger) What business have you reading such parchments. (BREAK then calm) I am sorry. You have fallen outside the ambit of the test. You could imperil all our plans. Ge2_19 0 0 0 22 0 1 6,70 There is some kind of creature in the waters. I've never seen anything like it. What was it? 1 1 0 We do not know. In the deepest caves, on the very shores of hell it seemed, I once heard the terrifying cries of beasts across a sunless lake. I suspect these creatures to be more fearsome than any human imagination could conceive. I also suspect this thing to be just one of them, lost in the upper caves. (BREAK) We have all thanked God that it is unable to leave the water. Ge2_22 0 0 0 23 3 0,7,1,0,0 0,7,1,1,0 0,7,2,0,0 12 5,447 0,10,1,27,0 0,4,2,14,0 0,1,3,14,0 0,3,4,33,0 0,9,4,12,0 0,3,4,17,0 5,318 5,435 0,2,1,25,0 0,11,1,1,0 0,11,2,1,0 What can you tell me about Philip? 1 1 0 A treacherous dog. A follower of Malik, the Satanchild. He redeemed himself by betraying the betrayer, but this, to me, is doubly a reason to mistrust him. Ge2_23 0 0 0 24 4 5,316 0,7,3,11,0 0,7,3,8,0 5,445 1 5,447 I read something in a parchment I found about 'brothers above ground.' Can you tell me anything about this? 1 1 0 I will tell you nothing of this. And if you wish to complete the test, I would advise you to ignore parchments you might find. Tobias has informed me they have been stolen from him by a Prieure agent intent on destroying the purity of the test. (BREAK) I warn you, that if you discover too much of us, you will not be allowed to leave. Ge2_24 0 0 0 26 1 0,9,4,12,0 0 Tell me about the guardians. 1 1 0 We were twelve, all dedicated, but the grailstone weighed on the brain as much as on other parts of the body. Before long, some of our number turned to madness or evil. Though, I suspect Malik was born with a black heart. (BREAK) After many decades, Malik broke away and sealed himself into ancient chambers we had found and revived a pagan idol of evil. Its name was Maal. After he fled, we purged the remainder of his followers that we could overpower, but those that remain are still tainted with the evil of Maal. Ge2_26 0 0 0 27 0 0 Can you give me any clues to help me get to the grail? 1 1 0 Foolish thief. What would be the point of the test then. Ge2_27 0 0 0 37 0 6 3,10 0,7,3,32,0 0,4,2,14,0 0,3,4,7,0 0,3,4,17,0 5,438 What can you tell me about Tallum? 1 1 0 He is a mad dog. I have argued many times with Tobias, my superior the folly of having allowed him to live. When the followers of Malik were questioned, he was contrite, claiming fear and folly. He betrayed the hideous acts of the others. Tobias forgave him, but I do not trust him. He is insane. Ge2_37 0 0 0 48 3 0,7,3,20,0 0,5,5,20,0 0,3,4,24,0 3 5,353 5,445 5,346 Who is Baphomet? 1 1 0 That is of no concern to you thief. Ge2_48 0 0 0 53 2 5,435 0,2,1,7,0 8 5,345 0,10,1,26,0 0,8,1,9,0 0,5,5,7,0 0,9,4,5,0 5,320 5,331 5,332 Do you know who Cobweb is? 1 1 0 If I did, I would be able to show you the trophy of his head. Ge2_53 0 0 0 54 0 3 0,7,1,0,0 0,7,1,1,0 0,7,2,0,0 What can you tell me about Philip? 1 1 0 A treacherous dog. A follower of Malik, the Satanchild. He redeemed himself by betraying the betrayer, but this, to me, is doubly a reason to mistrust him. Ge2_54 0 0 0 60 0 4 0,5,1,0,0 0,5,4,14,0 0,5,7,2,0 5,346 Lurka's an odd little creature. What do you know about him? 1 1 0 I have little patience with him. He is a disgusting, fawning little maggot. I have never understood Tobias' trust in him. Ge2_60 0 0 0 65 0 7 5,447 5,345 0,8,1,15,0 5,320 5,332 5,435 0,2,1,11,0 What can you tell me about the Prieure? 1 1 0 A sister order, but a sister that proved to be a harpie in disguise. When the Templar order fell, they lifted not a finger to help, but withdrew into the shadows like Godless cowards and plotted to take the grail for themselves. Ge2_65 0 0 0 66 5 0,7,3,26,0 0,9,4,21,0 0,5,5,25,0 0,1,3,25,0 0,11,3,22,0 1 5,322 Do you know if the pasture cavern is still accessible? 1 1 0 No. Not for many decades. Ge2_66 0 0 0 67 0 5 5,323 5,330 0,7,3,2,0 0,1,3,30,0 0,5,5,30,0 Tell me about Malik. 1 1 0 He was a foul monster. When I first heard he was born to a heathen tribe, I argued with Tobias against his being amongst our number, but I went unheard. (BREAK) I was not surprised when I met him. He has a charm about him. He has the ability to make one feel he knows far more and deeper than anyone else. It is no surprise that some of the others followed him when he betrayed his holy charge and revived the pagan cult of Maal. Ge2_67 0 0 0 68 0 3 5,323 0,7,3,27,0 5,325 Can you tell me where Malik's court is? 1 1 0 No. I will not speak of that place. Ge2_68 0 0 0 69 0 6 5,326 5,346 0,1,3,13,0 0,10,9,0,0 5,435 5,437 What can you tell me about the 'vision of the holy thief'? 1 1 0 A holy picture of the future. The grailstone expanded the mind and wisdom of our leader Tobias to the point where he is truly beyond humanity. Your aspect fits with what he saw centuries ago by the reckoning of days under the sun. Ge2_69 0 0 0 80 0 0 Tell me more about Tobias. 1 1 0 He is stalwart. Indomitable. His patience is enduring. The test that this place has been for all the long years for us, has seemed to not affect him at all. Ge2_80 0 0 0 81 0 11 0,7,1,2,0 0,7,1,3,0 0,9,0,4,0 0,9,0,5,0 0,7,3,13,0 0,7,3,24,0 0,4,2,14,0 0,4,4,4,0 0,1,1,0,0 0,3,4,17,0 0,9,4,12,0 What do you know of Edgar? 1 1 0 Edgar is a fool. Do not listen to anything he might say. He thought himself a rival for the leadership of all the knights. And only Philip follows him. Ge2_81 0 0 0 999 0 0 Thank you Geffrye. I'd better go on before the grail is taken by someone else. 1 1 0 Indeed. Good fortune. Ge2_999 0 1 0 3 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 3 1 3 0,2,0,0,0 0,2,0,0,1 7,2 Welcome thief. Please, don't be alarmed. My name is Geffrye. I was the architect of Aeternis. (BREAK) No doubt you are disappointed to see the shield is not with the statue, but it had to be removed to a safer place. (BREAK) I have gathered a lot of information within Aeternis over the years. Being its architect gives me...... advantages. (BREAK) You may have heard I am a part of a certain faction, but each guardian has his own individual responsibility to the grail that comes before all else. I have to be certain that the shield, and through it, the grail, don't fall into wrong hands. In my haste, I hid the shield in a carcass in the meat locker that is beneath my studio. I suggest you find your way there quickly if you wish to retrieve it. Ge3_A 0 1 0 2 1 7,2 Greetings to you again friend.

(BREAK) No doubt you are disappointed to see the shield is not with the statue, but it had to be removed to a safer place. (BREAK) I have gathered a lot of information within Aeternis over the years.

In my haste, I hid the shield in a carcass in the meat locker that is beneath my studio. I suggest you find your way there quickly if you wish to retrieve it. Ge3_AC 0 1 0 4 1 5 6 0 186 2 0,2,3,1,0 0,2,3,2,0 1 0,2,3,5,0 How do you know this about Tobias? 1 1 0 Never mind how. There is little time to discuss this. Believe me, you have to follow my advice. I do not know what kind of plans Tobias now has for the grail. (BREAK) I fear for all humankind. Ge4_186 0 0 0 187 0 1 0,2,3,5,0 Tell me about this other route to the orrery. 1 1 0 It holds some danger. I will show you the entrance to those rooms once held by evil Malik. You must be cautious. These rooms were sealed long ago by Tobias and filled with gas. There is a way to release this gas devised by Tobias, but I am not privy to it. (BREAK) Go through those rooms without glancing to right or left. The rooms eventually open over the ziggurat and thence you may reach the orrery room to place the shield. (BREAK) Come. Follow. Ge4_187 0 0 0 188 1 0,2,3,1,0 1 0,2,3,5,0 It seems to me that Tobias wouldn't spend all those years preparing the test only to destroy it at the end. I don't believe you. 1 1 0 I too am astonished by this revelation, but you must believe me. I overheard Tobias telling Lurka the semantics of a new vision that sees him as head of a Templeisen order that will last a thousand years and not only dominate this world, but go out amongst the stars and dominate others also. Ge4_188 0 0 0 189 0 1 0,2,3,1,0 Very well. Lead the way. 1 1 0 A bit of sense. Good. Now when you have placed the fourth shield, it is imperative you investigate the escape route that will open in the cathedral area. When you have the grail, I will meet you near the surface to lead you from the temple. Now. Come with me. Ge4_189 0 1 0 190 0 1 0,2,3,1,0 No. I think I'll take my chances with Tobias. 1 1 0 Very well. I must hope then that another will reach here and have more good sense. (BREAK) I wish you good fortune. I think you will need it. Ge4_190 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Thief! Stop! You must listen. I overheard the message. You must ignore it and listen instead to me. I am shocked and afraid. Tobias has lost his reason. He has no intention of letting the test continue. The temple has been flooded to prevent the thieves from taking the grail. He intends your deaths. You must not trust him. (BREAK) You will have to take another route to the orrery. I will lead you to a path that is dangerous, but holds no treachery, so you may at least have a chance of survival. Ge4_A 0 0 0 5 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Ah, you have succeeded. I too. (holds up pouch round his neck) I have successfully purloined Tobias' secret stor of grailstone. Come. Follow me. I long to see the stars once more. Ge5_A 0 0 0 6 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 No. I don't believe it...........So close...........So very close. (BREAK) Oh God. I feel the centuries pouring into my soul. (BREAK) It hurts. Oh God, it hurts. (he rolls over and looks up at the sky) The stars.....It is worth the pain friend to see them after all this time. And they are so bright. (his voice is cracking with age and is almost a whisper) You must go now.....holy thief. (BREAK) Tobias may have fallen prey to insanity. But the vision was true. Your aspect is right. Go on! (pushes his arm feebly toward the player) Take the grail to mankind. Take it. Ge6_A 0 1 0 7 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Follow me (or empty file) Ge7_A 0 1 0
