[00:03] Dine
    Wait!
[00:06] Dine
    We, the elves of Lothdor,
    will not forget our debt to you.
[00:10] Dine
    I hereby swear to our
    ancestral god, Rhea Silvia,
[00:15] Dine
    that we will return the favor one day.
[00:20] Dine
    I pray the blessings of the virtuous
    gods and the spirits of courage
[00:24] Dine
    will be with you as you go.

[02:10] Menel
    Ugh.
[02:12] Will
    Wouldn't want to be in here too long.
[02:14] Reystov
    We were right not to use fire.
[02:17] Reystov
    The air is stagnant.
[02:19] Al
    Sir William cast a spell of
    poison resistance on all of us,
[02:22] Al
    but it's still a nasty feeling.
[02:25] Al
    Poor visibility, too.
[02:27] Al
    The possibility of enemy encounters
    and traps is terrifying.
[02:31] Will
    We are up against demons, after all.
[02:33] Will
    Some crawl on the walls and ceilings.
    Some even have wings.
[02:38] Will
    Keep that in the back of your mind as we
    keep our focus in front and to our sides.
[02:43] Will
    We'll post a guard occasionally
    and take short breaks.
[02:46] Al
    Right.
[02:55] Menel
    Stop.
[02:58] Menel
    There's a trap. I'll disarm it.
[03:02] Will
    Do you know where we are?
[03:05] Ghelreis
    We should be coming up on the Hall of Stone.
[03:07] Ghelreis
    The paths diverge drastically from there.
[03:12] Menel
    All good. Let's go.
[03:15] Will
    Yeah.
[03:20] Ghelreis
    Surprising.
[03:22] Will
    Yes. We weren't attacked
    by demons even once.
[03:26] Al
    Could that mean... well...
[03:28] Al
    that the dragon and the demons
    are not actually a monolith?
[03:33] Menel
    We can't say that for certain yet.
[03:36] Menel
    Maybe they're all assembled in
    the Hall of Stone just ahead
[03:39] Menel
    and are waiting to ambush us.
[03:41] Will
    But if there's no ambush,
    it'll mean Al's right.
[03:45] Menel
    Wait.
[03:52] Reystov
    What is it?
[03:54] Menel
    I hear something.
[03:55] Menel
    The sound of clanking metal...
    and footsteps coming and going.
[04:00] Will
    Is it an ambush?
[04:01] Menel
    I don't know.
[04:03] Menel
    All I can say for sure is
    that something's out there.
[04:06] Al
    Um... Does that mean this is, uh...
[04:09] Will
    Yeah.
[04:13] Will
    Ghelreis and I will go in
    first with our shields up.
[04:16] Will
    Menel, back us up from the corridor.
[04:19] Will
    Al and Reystov, stand by.
[04:21] Will
    We'll watch for our chance to charge in.
[05:08] SkeletonA
    Ah, we have dwarfs. Humans and an elf, too.
[05:13] SkeletonB
    I thought Lothdor had fallen.
[05:16] SkeletonC
    Did this one escape?
[05:17] SkeletonC
    Don't worry, brethren. You're safe here.
[05:28] SkeletonD
    How goes the battle?
[05:30] SkeletonE
    You must have had a rough time.
[05:36] Ghelreis
    Everyone...
[05:37] SkeletonD
    Oh! I know you! You're Ghelreis!
[05:41] SkeletonD
    I thought you got out.
[05:44] SkeletonE
    Did you get out and then come back?
    That's just like you.
[05:49] SkeletonC
    You've got guts, though.
[05:51] SkeletonC
    You'll add the strength of
    a hundred to our ranks.
[05:54] SkeletonC
    Fight with us!
[06:05] Will
    Al...
[06:07] Al
    I think... I should be the one to tell them.
[06:22] SkeletonA
    King Aurvangr?
[06:24] SkeletonB
    No, this isn't the king.
    He should be in the throne room.
[06:31] Al
    My name is Vindalfr!
[06:35] Al
    I carry within me the blood of Aurvangr,
    the last king of the Iron Country!
[06:40] SkeletonB
    The last? He is not the last!
[06:43] SkeletonA
    We are still here.
    The Iron Country has not yet fallen.
[06:49] Al
    That is a fine estacade.
    You are well-prepared.
[06:53] Al
    I can tell you have continued
    to repair and improve it.
[06:57] SkeletonC
    That's right.
    It is the pinnacle of our technology.
[07:01] SkeletonE
    We will not allow the demons to enter here.
[07:06] Al
    I see.
[07:08] Al
    But...
[07:14] Al
    Despite all this,
    the Iron Country has fallen!
[07:17] Al
    All of the warriors died!
[07:20] Al
    The great King Aurvangr died!
[07:22] Al
    Lothdor has tragically withered away,
[07:24] Al
    and the Iron Country
    is now the Rust Mountains,
[07:28] Al
    where a dragon and demons lurk!
[07:30] SkeletonA
    That... cannot be.
[07:34] SkeletonD
    The Iron Country... cannot fall...
[07:38] Al
    You know it to be true!
[07:39] Al
    Do not avert your eyes from the
    truth, brave dwarf warriors!
[07:47] Al
    My grandfather, Aurvangr,
    struck back at the evil dragon
[07:51] Al
    and took one of his eyes!
[07:53] Al
    It was a heroic act celebrated
    by the gods themselves!
[07:56] Al
    And I, Vindalfr, have committed
    myself to carrying on his heroism,
[08:02] Al
    alongside the heroes of the present day!
[08:05] Al
    It is true that the Iron Country has fallen.
[08:08] Al
    But I pray they may now sit at the
    side of our ancestral god Blaze,
[08:14] Al
    as well as that of Gracefeel,
    goddess of light!
[08:18] Al
    I hereby swear on the names of all the
    virtuous gods and our ancestral spirits
[08:24] Al
    that I will bring back the Iron
    Country's former prosperity!
[08:28] Al
    The kiln fires have not yet gone out!
[08:30] Al
    Their flames will spread,
    burning off all the rust,
[08:34] Al
    and the Rust Mountains will be
    the Iron Mountains once more!
[08:45] Al
    So... please rest now.
[08:50] Al
    You have all done more than enough.
[09:26] Ghelreis
    Young master... Well said.
[09:29] Ghelreis
    Let us drive away the demons
    and see your promise through.
[09:34] Ghelreis
    I will protect you even if
    it costs me my ancient life.
[09:38] Al
    I wouldn't exchange that for your life.
[09:42] Al
    There is still much I
    need to learn from you.
[09:45] Al
    About these mountains...
[09:48] Al
    and about how to fight.
[09:52] Menel
    Who makes pain-in-the-ass promises
    about rebuilding nations?
[09:57] Menel
    Talk about dumb.
[09:58] Al
    Unlike the vows you and Sir Will made,
[10:01] Al
    at least mine has an end in sight,
    so it's not as dumb as yours.
[10:07] Reystov
    We must win first, and then survive.
[10:11] Al
    Yes.
[10:13] Al
    Sir Will, I apologize for the delay.
[10:16] Al
    Let us proceed. Your orders?
[10:18] Will
    You don't need to call me "Sir" anymore.
[10:22] Will
    I can't make a king be my thane.
[10:25] Al
    But that's...
[10:26] Al
    No. You are still Sir Will,
[10:30] Al
    the peerless knight that
    I admire and respect.
[10:35] Will
    I see. I guess I can't stop you, then.
[10:40] Will
    That was very commendable. Well done.
[10:44] Will
    I'm sure they all felt blessed, as well.
[10:47] Al
    Yes!
[10:49] Al
    U-Um...
[10:51] Al
    Should I be somewhat grateful to
    the god of the undead, as well?
[10:55] Will
    Uh...
[10:57] Will
    J-Just a little bit couldn't hurt, I guess?
[11:11] Will
    I know it was necessary,
[11:14] Will
    but it looks like we lost
    a little too much time.
[11:21] Will
    Let's go.
[11:23] Will
    We must take back the Iron Country,
[11:25] Will
    the nation of the dwarfs.
[11:30] Will
    By the light of Gracefeel!
[12:01] Ghelreis
    Go right at the next branch!
[12:03] Al
    Right!
[12:06] Menel
    Having such rough-and-tumble guys
    out in front makes this easy.
[12:12] Menel
    Will, doing okay?
[12:13] Will
    Yeah. There's not that much
    pressure from the rear.
[12:16] Will
    I can handle it on my own.
[12:19] Menel
    Just fine covering our
    rear on your own, huh?
[12:21] Menel
    You're as brilliant as ever, I see.
[12:24] Will
    I'm really not.
[12:27] Will
    I'm not alone, after all.
[12:31] Ghelreis
    We will soon reach the Hall of Light.
[12:33] Ghelreis
    The dragon is likely in the
    Great Cavern just beyond there.
[12:37] Ghelreis
    I imagine the demons will be waiting
    to intercept us in the Hall of Light.
[12:41] Ghelreis
    It is the throne room where the great
    King Aurvangr delivered his last speech.
[12:47] Al
    We have to take it back.
[12:49] Will
    Yeah. Let's take it back!
[12:51] Menel
    Well, if you say so.
[12:53] Menel
    I'll back you up, at least.
[12:55] Reystov
    Yeah. Everything that was
    stolen should be taken back.
[13:08] Will
    Is that...
[13:32] Will
    I think that's...
[13:34] Will
    The general... Scarabaeus.
[13:44] Al
    Sir Will, please let me handle him.
[13:49] Will
    Al... no, Vindalfr.
[13:52] Will
    I wish you luck.
[13:54] Al
    Thank you.
[13:57] Menel
    Wha... Hey!
[13:58] Will
    It's all right, Menel.
[14:00] Will
    Let him go.
[14:01] Menel
    Hang on a minute!
[14:02] Menel
    That's a general!
    It's way out of his league!
[14:08] Will
    Still...
[14:10] Will
    This is Al's battle.
[14:12] Will
    A king's battle for his throne.
[14:34] Ghelreis
    I don't like that look on its face.
[14:36] Will
    It's strong.
[14:38] Menel
    You're gonna let him die for
    some warrior's hang-up?
[14:41] Menel
    You're not the only one
    who taught him, you know.
[14:45] Reystov
    Yes, but either way...
[14:48] Will
    I doubt we'll have a chance to interfere.
[14:58] Menel
    Guess that's what you meant!
[15:05] Menel
    Hey, Al! If you can't handle it,
    just stay alive until we win!
[15:08] Menel
    Don't die!
[15:10] Al
    Thank you, Sir Menel. But...
[15:14] Al
    I will win! I will beat him!
[15:17] Al
    I swear on her light, and on his flames,
[15:21] Al
    that this denizen of the
    mountains will defeat you!
SIGN    We will slay you all! Taste the axe of the dwarfs!
[16:07] Will
    Currere, Oleum!
SIGN    Run, Oil
[16:28] Will
    A blessing?!
[16:38] Will
    I want to use Words that erase magic, but...
[16:42] Menel
    Damn it!
[16:52] Will
    Al!
[16:53] Al
    It's... all right.
[16:57] Al
    I will... not lose.
[17:00] Al
    On my vow... and on the
    hopes of my brethren...
[17:06] Al
    I will...
[17:12] Al
    take back our homeland!
[17:40] Al
    I'll be taking back what you stole from us!
[18:07] Blood
    They go into battle with
    their very souls on fire.

[18:11] Blood
    They don't fear death.
[18:14] Al
    I've taken out the enemy general!
[18:22] Will
    It's not over yet, Al!
    Keep it up a little longer!
[18:25] Al
    Of course!
[18:34] Will
    We're nearing our limit.
[18:39] Will
    But this is their last commander!
[18:47] Will
    Discede!
SIGN    Leave
[18:59] Will
    Ghelreis, stand guard.
[19:02] Ghelreis
    Right.
[19:03] Will
    Let's heal you.
[19:21] Menel
    Man, I really thought we were all dead meat.
[19:25] Menel
    Five of us charging into the demons'
    base was definitely reckless.
[19:30] Menel
    Well done, my man. You did great.
[19:33] Al
    N-No, I didn't really...
[19:42] Will
    You took it all back.
    The mountains and the crown.
[19:46] Al
    No, not quite.
[19:49] Al
    I haven't taken everything back yet.
[19:52] Will
    Yeah, you're right.
[19:54] Al
    But as soon as I do,
[19:57] Al
    I'd like you to put this crown on my head.
[20:00] Will
    Huh? Isn't that something only
    high-ranking clergymen can do?
[20:05] Menel
    Isn't that what you are?
[20:06] Will
    Oh.
[20:12] Will
    Let's go.
[20:13] Reystov
    Wait.
[20:14] Reystov
    Look over there.
[20:17] Al
    Scarabaeus's body is gone...
[20:19] Ghelreis
    Hm? But his head is still here.
[20:22] Reystov
    Demons are supposed to turn
    to dust when they die.
[20:25] Al
    Yet even after being beheaded, he...
[20:27] Will
    Let's track him.
[20:33] Ghelreis
    He's heading toward the Great Cavern.
[20:36] Will
    To get help from the dragon?
[20:38] Reystov
    He may also just be wandering around
    blindly on reflexive bodily movements.
[20:43] Will
    The miasma is getting thicker and thicker.
[20:46] Will
    Everyone, be careful.
[20:56] Ghelreis
    This is the Great Cavern.
[21:01] Will
    Let's get searching.
[21:14] Will
    There he is!
[21:17] Will
    What is he...
[21:33] Valacirca
    So weak...
[21:53] Valacirca
    Welcome to my bedchamber.
