Sir Bedwyr Dialogue
Mission Entrance:
- Sir Bedwyr: Come, there is little time!
After Defeating Lord Lorn:
- Sir Bedwyr: Gah!
- Sir Bedwyr: I... I'm too weak to fight on...
|
Lord Lorn: What poison did Bedwyr whisper to turn you against me?!
Pendragon: Truth and honor. Two things I stole from him a long time ago...
Lord Lorn: What are you saying?
Pendragon: It was not Bedwyr who tried to steal the heart of your queen, my lord.
Black Queen: No... Don't...
Lord Lorn: What?!
Pendragon: It was me.
Lord Lorn: And why do you speak of this now, traitor?
Lord Lorn: So you can gloat over the ruin you have wrought on this once great Order?
Pendragon: No, my Lord. I am trying to save it.
Lord Lorn: Without loyalty there is no Order to save!
Pendragon: Then I do it to save the queen.
Pendragon: Bedwyr and the Outsider have discovered evidence that she is somehow integral to the Talons plot to open the Eternal Prison.
Lord Lorn: Is that so..?
Black Queen: I... I know not of what Pendragon speaks...
Pendragon: My Lord, I know this is difficult to hear-
Lord Lorn: Difficult?
Lord Lorn: This is not difficult at all, old friend.
Lord Lorn: I just have to do what I should have done years ago.
Lord Lorn: Namely, put your head on a spike!
Black Queen: Lorn, no!
Lord Lorn: And then place her head beside yours!
Black Queen: *Gasp*
Pendragon: I will see you dead before you harm her!
Lord Lorn: And I will gladly die before I let this Order's honor be further stained by the two of you!
Lord Lorn: If I am to save the Order then I must cut off the rotten limbs!
Lord Lorn: Defend yourself, Pendragon, and let none interfere!
Pendragon: If it must come to this then so be it!

Lord Lorn Dialogue
Before Combat:
- Lord Lorn: Nobody interfere.
- Lord Lorn: I will deal with the Outsider personally!
To Pendragon:
- Lord Lorn: You are beaten!
Upon Defeat:
- Lord Lorn: Knights! Help me...
- Armiger: Yes, my lord!
Final Black Queen Dialogue
The Black Queen: Finally... I have waited for this day for a long time, my Lord...
The Black Queen: Now DIE!
Lord Lorn: GAAAAAH!!!
Sir Bedwyr: Noooo!
The Black Queen: Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
The Black Queen: Pendragon, my love.
The Black Queen: Now that Lorn is dead we can finally be together...
Sir Pendragon: What have you done?!
The Black Queen: There is no need to hide your feelings any longer, my love.
The Black Queen: Now you can take your rightful place by my side.
The Black Queen: Isn't that what you wanted?
Sir Pendragon: Lorn threatened to kill you!
Sir Pendragon: I never wanted to take his place as head of the Order!
The Black Queen: Ha ha ha ha ha...
The Black Queen: I didn't say YOU would be head of the Order, Pendragon.
The Black Queen: By marriage that honor falls to me...
The Black Queen: And with it comes the authority to open the Eternal Prison.
Sir Pendragon: It was you!
Sir Bedwyr: No... Why?
Sir Pendragon: You were working for the Talons this whole time?!
The Black Queen: Such a handsome boy, but not very bright.
The Black Queen: What a pity. You were a good lover, but, your part has been played and you are no longer of any use to me.
Sir Pendragon: You'll not get away with this!
The Black Queen: It's far too late for you to be the strong hero, Pendragon.
The Black Queen: Everyone here is dead by your hand, or the hands of a traitor and an Outsider.
The Black Queen: The Black Knights follow me now...
Sir Pendragon: I... I have betrayed my oaths, I have betrayed my master, and I have betrayed myself.
Sir Bedwyr: Pendragon...
The Black Queen: Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
Sir Pendragon: Bedwyr, Character...
Sir Pendragon: I am fit to be a Black Knight no longer.
Sir Pendragon: Take my shield and take my sword. Until I have found my true calling, I shall not need them anymore.
Sir Bedwyr: I understand well the burden of dishonor...
Sir Bedwyr: Only you can redeem yourself, for it is through ones own eyes where true honor is judged.
Sir Bedwyr: Good luck on your quest, and know that I shall not rest until the honor of the Black Knights is restored.
Badge
Upon completing the mission, you will be awarded the The Once and Future King Badge.

The Once and Future King
You helped set Pendragon down the path of righteousness. While he may walk the mists of Praetoria for years, his soul has been redeemed and his freedom from Night Ward ensured.

Debriefing
I still cannot believe that the Black Queen was working with the Talons this entire time. With Lorn dead the means of opening the Eternal Prison has now passed on to her. She can open the prison, Character, and release all kinds of evil upon Night Ward. But I fear there is something even more sinister at work here that we can't see yet.
I must concentrate on rallying those Knights still free of the Black Queen's control. They must know the truth of things. However, perhaps there is someone who can help you. A mysterious magician with no name.
