8 1 1 11 12 0 1 4 0,1,0,1,0 0,1,0,2,0 0,1,1,2,0 0,1,5,0,0 1 0,1,0,11,0 Who the hell are you? 1 1 0 I have no time for introductions. Answer my question. Ed1_1 0 0 0 82 1 0,1,0,2,0 1 0,1,0,11,0 No. I came another way. 1 1 0 You lying, greed ridden wretch. There is no other way through. Where is the chest? Where have you hidden it? Ed1_82 0 0 0 83 1 0,1,0,1,0 1 0,1,0,11,0 Yes. 1 1 0 Then you took the chest from there, and fought another of your kind. The chest belongs to me. Where have you hidden it? Ed1_83 0 0 0 84 3 0,1,1,2,0 0,1,5,0,0 0,1,0,4,0 1 0,1,0,1,0 What the hell are you talking about? What chest? 1 1 0 The chest you took before your fellow thief and my ally Warrenn could fetch it for me. You tried to kill him. Then you made off with it. Now where is it? Ed1_84 0 0 0 85 3 0,1,1,2,0 0,1,5,0,0 0,1,0,3,0 1 0,1,0,1,0 What makes you think I've hidden a chest anywhere? Who are you? 1 1 0 The chest is mine. Your fellow thief and my ally Warrenn saw you making off with it before he could get there. Now where is it? Ed1_85 0 0 0 86 0 1 0,1,0,1,0 I'm telling you. I found another way through! 1 1 0 I am sick of your lies. I will make you tell me the truth. Ed1_86 0 1 0 87 0 2 0,1,0,3,0 0,1,0,4,0 You fool. You trusted Warren? The man would sell his own parents as horsemeat! 1 1 0 You're lying. He was wounded. I saw the blood. I will cut you a piece at a time until you tell me where it is. Ed1_87 0 1 0 88 0 1 0,1,0,2,0 And who is it I'm supposed to have fought? 1 1 0 Your enemy and my ally. Warren. Ed1_88 0 0 0 89 0 1 0,1,0,2,0 I haven't got your chest! 1 1 0 I am sick of your lies. I will make you tell me the truth. Ed1_89 0 1 0 90 2 0,1,1,2,0 0,1,5,0,0 1 0,1,0,2,0 Look. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Just let me pass will you? 1 1 0 I will let you pass into the next world. But only after you have given me my chest. Ed1_90 0 1 0 91 0 1 0,1,0,7,0 You fool. You trusted Warren? The man would sell his own parents as horsemeat! 1 1 0 You're lying. He was wounded. I saw the blood. I will cut you a piece at a time until you tell me where it is. Ed1_91 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Stand where you are. You have just been in the docks have you not? Ed1_A 0 0 0 2A 1 2 3 0 1 0 1 0,1,1,2,0 Who are you? 1 1 0 I am Edgar. And before you ask, I am no lapdog of Tobias. Perhaps the only one sane enough not to be. Ed2A_1 0 0 1 1 2 999 0 0 I'm sorry. I don't have time. 1 1 0 As you wish. Ed2A_999 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Welcome thief! Do not be alarmed. Let us speak. Ed2A_A 0 0 0 2B 0 9 0 103 3 0,1,2,1,0 0,1,2,2,0 0,1,2,8,0 0 OK. What do you want to talk about? 1 1 0 I want to talk about forming an alliance with you. I hold no interest in Tobias or his wild imaginings. It seems to me we can help each other. I can help you reach the grail and you can help me in similar ways. Ed2B_103 0 0 0 104 3 0,1,2,0,0 0,1,2,8,0 0,1,2,2,0 1 0,7,1,2,0 I saw a knight called Philip. He claims to be a friend of yours. He told me to come to you about a chest. 1 1 0 So. Philip has taken you into his confidence? Very well. (BREAK) I hold no interest in Tobias or his wild imaginings. It seems to me we can help each other. I can help you reach the grail and you can help me in similar ways. Ed2B_104 0 0 0 105 3 0,1,2,0,0 0,1,2,8,0 0,1,2,1,0 1 0,7,3,24,0 I spoke to a knight called Philip. He suggested I ask you about some grailstone in the docks. 1 1 0 (Slight annoyance) Did he? Very well. (BREAK) I hold no interest in Tobias or his wild imaginings. It seems to me we can help each other. I can help you reach the grail and you can help me in similar ways. Ed2B_105 0 0 0 106 2 0,1,2,4,0 0,1,2,4,1 4 0,1,2,0,0 0,1,2,1,0 0,1,2,2,0 0,1,2,8,0 OK. Help me get the grail and you can consider us partners. 1 1 0 (laughs) I think I've lived long enough to be able to reason that once you have the grail you will leave the temple and forget all about me. As I said, you can help me in 'similar' ways. But you must help me first! Ed2B_106 0 0 0 107 0 4 0,1,2,0,0 0,1,2,1,0 0,1,2,2,0 0,1,2,8,0 In what 'similar' ways can I help you? 2 1 2 0,1,2,2,0 0,1,2,8,0 I propose a little test of the spirit and sense of honour of a new partner. (BREAK) There is an area of the temple into which we guardians can no longer enter. It is the old dock. In the long years under the influence of this place, our eyes have become so accustomed to the dark that entering any place that has bright light causes us unbearable agony. (BREAK) There is a chest that was put in that area that contains personal effects very dear to my heart. I haven't seen these things in decades. Ed2B_107 0 0 0 2 0 I propose a little test of the spirit and sense of honour of a new partner. (BREAK) There is an area of the temple into which we guardians can no longer enter. It is the old dock. In the long years under the influence of this place, our eyes have become so accustomed to the dark that entering any place that has bright light causes us unbearable agony. (BREAK) There is a chest that was put in that area that contains enough grailstone to allow me to leave this cursed place and make us both men of such power in the world above that it is beyond imagination. Ed2B107B 0 0 0 108 2 0,1,2,4,0 0,1,2,4,1 4 0,1,2,0,0 0,1,2,1,0 0,1,2,2,0 0,1,2,8,0 I'm sorry. I don't make one way deals. 1 1 0 That's unfortunate. You see, I intend to find out if at least one of you thieves from the new world above has any honour and is worthy of my trust. If I do find one, one of the ways I will help him will be against those in competition with him for the grail. Ed2B_108 0 1 0 109 0 2 0,1,2,4,0 0,1,2,4,1 Very well, I accept. 1 1 0 Excellent! I will meet you in the mine head by the double doors to the dock. Please, before you go is there anything else you feel you would like to know? Ed2B_109 0 0 1 1 3 110 0 2 0,1,2,4,0 0,1,2,4,1 I'm sorry. But that deal sounds a little unfair to me. 1 1 0 That's unfortunate. You see, I intend to find out if at least one of you thieves from the new world above has any honour and is worthy of my trust. If I do find one, one of the ways I will help him against those in competition with him for the grail. Ed2B_110 0 1 0 61 3 0,1,2,0,0 0,1,2,1,0 0,1,2,2,0 2 0,9,0,2,0 0,9,0,0,0 A knight I met mentioned something about grailstone hidden in the docks. Do you know anything about this? 1 1 0 (Slight annoyance) Did he? Very well. (BREAK) I hold no interest in Tobias or his wild imaginings. It seems to me we can help each other. I can help you reach the grail and you can help me in similar ways. Ed2B_61 0 0 0 2C 0 32 5 1 4 101 0 0 What can you tell me of Sir Guy? 1 1 0 The most fortunate of we twelve. He left Aeternis with his sanity and without grailstone. I feel sure he now rests in peace. Ed2C_101 0 0 0 102 2 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. They were designed to unlock the secrets of grailstone. Unfortunately, the alchemist that was brought into the temple was a bumbling halfwit who only succeeded in unlocking the door to the next life. Ed2C_102 0 0 0 11 0 0 Can you help me get further through the temple? I mean, for instance, where are the docks? 1 1 0 Yes. You can only get to them via the drains. And not the one that gave you access to my chamber. The way into the drains is through the vestry, which is between the well that led you here and the chapter house beyond. It is barred and locked, but I'm afraid I don't know where the key is hidden. You must find that yourself. Ed2C_11 0 0 0 12 0 0 Tell me about grailstone. 1 1 0 Grailstone. It is the substance that removes this place from the world of men, distorting time, flesh and the very soul. Ed2C_12 0 0 0 13 0 4 5,312 5,446 0,8,1,18,0 0,3,4,17,0 I heard mention of someone called Geffrye. What can you tell me about him? 1 1 0 Geffrye is a craven whelp. Highly favoured by Tobias. He is his right hand. True, his genius is evident all about us in the formation of Aeternis from the gutrock of the caves that were once here, but even before that great work began, he was elevated beyond deserving. As a knight and defender of the grail, he has always been a yelping cur. Ed2C_13 0 0 0 15 0 0 There are dangerous animals down here. What are they? How did they get here? 1 1 0 (Laughs) Indeed. And more yet to come if you succeed in penetrating into the deeper levels of Aeternis. They are another kind of guardian that have always been here. Ed2C_15 0 0 0 16 0 0 How many others like me have you seen down here? 1 1 0 I assure you friend. You are fortunate and wise to have formed a partnership with me. For one of the ways in which I intend to assist you is in the removal of your competition wherever it may be found. And I have already begun with one fool who thought himself able to best me in combat. Ed2C_16 0 0 0 162 2 5,345 0,1,3,21,0 3 0,8,1,8,0 0,8,1,10,0 0,8,1,17,0 Apparently there is a spy amongst the knights. What do you know about this? 1 1 0 I have heard this also. But I have no idea who it is. Ed2C_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 (Laughs) Tobias and his closely guarded secrets! He thinks himself in such control of his little plans. And here you are with such knowledge. (BREAK) My thanks thief, I knew nothing of this. Ed2C_19 0 0 0 20 2 0,10,1,8,0 0,7,3,9,0 1 0,6,0,10,0 I saw what I think was a ghost by an old well. 1 1 0 Yes. A ghost indeed. The effect this place has is not only to extend life and warp the mind, but to stop the souls of the dead from ever leaving. And if you have spoken to Niamh, you will know that a person less deserving of such a fate never lived. Ed2C_20 0 0 0 22 0 1 6,70 There's some kind of creature in the waters here. I've never seen anything like it. Do you know what it was? 1 1 0 Of all the creatures we have encountered in these caves, that is both the most vicious and the most strange. It lives only in the waterways, which is fortunate. Ed2C_22 0 0 0 23 3 0,7,1,0,0 0,7,1,1,0 0,7,2,0,0 6 5,447 0,10,1,27,0 0,4,2,14,0 0,1,3,14,0 0,3,4,33,0 0,3,4,17,0 What can you tell me about Philip? 1 1 0 Yes, he is my ally. A strange one and somewhat self serving, but sane and mostly loyal. He can be trusted. Ed2C_23 0 0 0 24 3 5,316 0,7,3,11,0 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 Hmm. I have heard nothing of this. I thought the outside world forgot us long ago. Ed2C_24 0 0 0 25 0 0 What can you tell me about the test? 1 1 0 Yes. Tobias fully believes himself blessed of visions from God. Theophanies concerning the coming of a 'holy thief' to liberate the grail from Aeternis. The test is the means by which the thief will show himself to be a rank above his fellows. I have no belief in this nonsense. (Pauses) Still, your aspect is like.....No. You will be able to decide for yourself in time. Ed2C_25 0 0 0 26 0 0 Tell me about the guardians. 1 1 0 We were twelve knights Templar. Over the years our numbers have fallen to but five. And of those, only myself and to some degree, Philip are sane enough to be trusted. Ed2C_26 0 0 0 37 0 5 3,10 0,7,3,32,0 0,4,2,14,0 0,3,4,7,0 0,3,4,17,0 What can you tell me about Tallum? 1 1 0 His mind is tortured. If you have met him, you will already have discovered that his madness and mistrust will lead him to attack without quarter He trusts noone except me. And of even that I am unsure. Ed2C_37 0 0 0 39 3 0,7,3,16,0 0,5,5,16,0 0,9,4,13,0 1 6,9 The well's very ancient. Much older than Aeternis. Do you know who may have built it? 1 1 0 Yes. They were a proud and frightening people. Tobias called them Byzantines. Ed2C_39 0 0 0 41 1 0,6,1,20,1 1 0,1,3,9,0 Tell me about Oisin. 1 1 0 I know nothing more of him than that he was Niamh's lover and left the temple long before the grail came here. Ed2C_41 0 0 0 45 0 1 0,6,1,21,0 I've heard mention of deeper realms. Wondrous places, they were described as. 1 1 0 Well, hardly wondrous, I would say. The deeper you go, the more horrific the beasts you encounter. Ed2C_45 0 0 0 46 1 0,7,3,19,0 1 0,6,1,23,0 What do you know about a Sasha? 1 1 0 She was the sister of the ghost of the well; Niamh. What became of her I have no idea. Ed2C_46 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 The talking head of God according to legend. Ed2C_48 0 0 0 53 1 0,1,3,7,0 4 5,345 0,10,1,26,0 0,8,1,9,0 0,5,5,7,0 Do you know who Cobweb is? 1 1 0 No. I think only one of us knows who he is. Ed2C_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 Yes, he is my ally. A strange one and somewhat self serving, but sane and mostly loyal. He can be trusted. Ed2C_54 0 0 0 60 0 3 0,5,1,0,0 0,5,4,14,0 5,346 Lurka's an odd little creature. What do you know about him? 1 1 0 He is a disgusting little slave. I have always done my best to avoid treading on him whenever possible. Ed2C_60 0 0 0 65 0 3 5,447 5,345 0,8,1,15,0 What can you tell me about the Prieure? 1 1 0 The Prieure? They were a sister order to the Templars. I never had anything to do with them, but there was once an attempt made by them to steal the grail. Ed2C_65 0 0 0 66 3 0,7,3,26,0 0,9,4,21,0 0,5,5,25,0 1 5,322 Do you know if the pasture cavern is still accessible? 1 1 0 No. The walls collapsed long ago. Ed2C_66 0 0 0 67 0 3 5,323 5,330 0,1,3,30,0 What can you tell me about Malik? 1 1 0 He was once Tobias' second in command. He was the instigator of the rift between the knights. In this he was right. But later, the burden of the responsibility and the presence of the grail drove him to acts of insane evil. He is the only knight to have escaped the temple and survived. He was an astonishing and frightening man. Ed2C_67 0 0 0 68 0 2 5,323 0,7,3,27,0 Can you tell me where Malik's court is? 1 1 0 It was sealed long ago by Tobias. Ed2C_68 0 0 0 69 0 3 5,326 0,1,3,13,0 5,346 What can you tell me about the 'vision of the holy thief'? 1 1 0 (laughs) Tobias and his delusions of impossible splendour. Still, you are here, so there may be something in it. Ed2C_69 0 0 0 80 0 0 Tell me about Tobias. 1 1 0 I once believed him to be a great man. Posessed of a humility deeper than any I had seen. But over the long decades, I suspect his holy charge and status as the leader of the guardians have been responsible for twisting his mind to the sin of pride. Ed2C_80 0 0 0 81 0 0 Tell me more about yourself Edgar. 1 1 0 Me. I am outraged that I seem to be the only knight who could see through both Tobias and Malik. I was waiting for a time when the others would see sense and stop following one or the other of them like sheep. (BREAK) I am a loyal man to any who gives his loyalty to me. But those two were only interested in their own ends. Ed2C_81 0 0 0 999 0 0 If you'll excuse me Edgar, I'd better hurry. Or the grail will be long gone. 1 1 0 As you wish. Ed2C_999 0 1 0 2D 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Ah...I have to leave you a moment. One of your less cooperative rivals requires my attention. Ed2D_A 0 0 0 3 1 0 1 0 B 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Put the chest into the saw. Now. Ed3_B 0 0 1 1 6 4 0 1 0 200 0 0 OK. I'll move it there right away. 1 1 0 Excellent. Ed4_200 0 1 0 5 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Empty! Empty! You treacherous filth. Where have you hidden it? Ed5_A 0 0 0
