[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.

SIGN    The Faraway Paladin SIGN    The Lord of the Rust Mountains SIGN    A Warrior's Fire [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. SIGN    The Lord of the Rust Mountains
