番外篇:弒君

 

Carrocio實在不像是孩子的爹,而城堡裡只有一位仁兄最有嫌疑,為了發揮狗仔精神挖出真相,我們想出了一個完美無缺的方法。

    搜索屍體,果然找到我們想要的東西。

    Lord British's Last Will and Testament:

    Being of sound mind and body, I hereby bequeath all of my belongings to... Nell, my beloved chambermaid. She has kept me warm so many nights, which is more than I can say for most of my bloody subjects! And to our unborn child, I bequeath my crown. Long live the king. Or queen, whichever it shall be!

    Lord British

     

    後話:整個城堡裡面似乎沒有任何人注意到地上多了一具屍體,日常作息也沒有任何改變,看來Lord British的治國能力實在有待改善,生前遭受一堆批評,死後也沒人關心他...

Nell
    You see a servant girl who looks at you in wonder. "Thou dost look familiar. Wo art thou?"
Zidane
    "Oh. Hello. I am Nell."
Name
    "I told thee my name is Nell."
Job
    "I am a chambermaid. I am responsible for keeping the castle tidy. Just a servant girl, really."
Castle
    "It is very large. Keeps me very busy. Thou wouldst not believe how dusty it gets."
Servant
    "I suppose I'll always be a servant. My parents are servants. My brother is a servant. My fiance is a servant. My child will probably be a servant."
Parents
    "They work in the castle as well. Boots is my mother. Bennie is my father. They have been here for years. I was born in this castle and played in the nursery."
Brother
    "Thou mightest run into him. He is also a servant in the castle. Charles. Other than not being as smart as I am, he is all right. For a bumbling ass, that is!" She laughs.
Fiance
    "That would be Carrocio, that dear man who runs the Punch anf Judy Show. He writes the loveliest love poetry. We are getting married as soon as Carrocio can afford a wedding ring."
Child
    Nell looks worried. "Shhh! I do not want anyone to know. 'Tis not showing yet, is it? Carrocio and I are getting married as soon as possible. He -is- the father. I think. Then again, it could be... No, probably not him. Or could it be...? Hmmm. That would be interesting! Wait! What am I saying? The father is most definitely Carrocio! Please do not tell anyone. 'Twould be embarrassing. All right?"
Yes
    "I know I can trust thee, Zidane."
Bye
    "Goodbye, Zidane."

Carrocio
    "In a wink, in a word, I do greet thee, Milord."
Nell with child
    Carrocio gives you a shocked look and drops to his knees before. "I beseech thee, milord, keep still thy tongue, My Nell has never harmed anyone. It would cause grievous injury to her reputation. Through the town's wagging lips our secret to spread. 'Twould make a permanent end of my occupation. And kill our hope of a happy life dead."
    He looks you in the eyes, pleadingly. "In thee I must place mine hope and trust, part, parcel and whole. To never again speak of the spoils of my lust. Thou must not tell a soul!"
    He looks at you awaiting some sort of indication. Will you keep his secret?
No
    "Reconsider, I must insist of thee, thou art too thin of hide. If he knew, Nell's brother would murder me. And I would not see Nell widowed before having the chance to become a bride."
Bye
    "Perchance to find in mercy's ear. A voice to know as gentle friend. I bid thee well, but hark return. If thou wouldst see puppet's play or test thy strength again."

 

clip_image005
做事要徹底,這種好消息當然要第一時間處理,立刻回頭找Charles。

 

clip_image006
Charles
    "Hello, Avatar."
Nell
    "She is engaged to the carousel manager. It is hard to get used to. I have always been overly protective of my little sister. I would wager she has never even been kissed! Not even by Carrocio! That is mainly because I have looked after her all this time. I would smite anyone who laid a hand on her! Besides, Nell has always been chaste and prudish. She would never think to allow a man to kiss her."
Child
    You remember what Nell told you about her condition. Do you mention it to Charles?
Yes
    You tell Charles what Nell revealed in confidence.
    Charles is wide-eyed and shocked. "Why, that hussy! My sister! She is nothing more than a tramp! And wait until I get mine hands on Carrocio!"
    Charles turns away. There is murder in his eyes.

去警告Carrocio趕緊逃命吧。

 

clip_image004[1]
Carrocio
    "In a wink, in a word, I do greet thee, Milord."
Charles is angry
    "I am grateful for thine honesty about thy lack of care, but why hast thou placed thyself in the center of our affair?"
    "For Nell's sake I could not bring myself to cause harm to her brother. I shall convince him of mine intentions. I love Nell and no other. Leave me now for I must use this time to properly prepare."

Nystul
    You see your old friend Nystul, now a decrepit old man in mage's robes. He seems lost in thought, far away.
Name
    "The mage looks confused a moment. "My name is Nystul? Yes, that is it!"
Job
    "Well, I uses to perform quite a bit of magic," he says apologetically. "At least... I -think- I uses to do so. There is a man named Lord British, I think. I work for him."
Lord British
    "Lord who? Dost thou mean that old man who sometimes sits o the throne?"
Magic
    "Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doth not." He waves his hand, and drops his wand. "Oops!" he cries, as he bends to pick it up.
clip_image003
Spark
    "Art thou sure this man is not really the jester?"
clip_image002[1]
Nystul
    "Anyway, as I was saying, uhm, what was I saying? Oh yes. Magic. I can still sell thee some spells or reagents if thou wouldst like."

A COMPLETE GUIDE TO BRITANNIAN MINERALS, PRECIOUS, AND SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES

by B. Ledbetter

    Herein one can find the descriptions of a plethora of rocks and gems.

    ...One can find lead in a variety of veins. While a common ore, lead is used with such frequency in items such as horse shoes that it is a valuable metal to procure.

    ...Gold is quite rare. Though generally without function, gold has maintained its worth by its very rarity. The refined form is so full of shine that many give it to their lovers as tokens of affection. It is a wall-known rumor that one who loves enough to give gold loves enough to remain true.

    ...Blackrock is an odd substance, only recently discovered. The there seems to be little interest in it, and even less use for it, a small handful of experimenters have noticed it has a profound effect on magic (though there same researches refuse to comment on what, exactly, the material does)...

Charles
You see a young peasant with a tray of wine glasses.
Name
"I am Charles."
Job
"I am a servant in Lord British's castle. I serve as a gentleman's gentleman, among other things. Right now I am serving wine."
Servant
"My family has been employed by Lord British for many years. My father, Bennie, once held the position I now hold. He is the head servant. I shall be head servant one day, I suppose. Then perhaps my sweetheart will love me."
Wine
"Wouldst thou like some wine?"
Yes
"'Tis on the house." Charles hands you and your friends glasses of wine.
Family
"Thou wilt encounter them. My mother cooks in the kitchen. My prudish sister is the chambermaid."
Sweetheart
Charles sighs. He is clearly smitten. "She is Jeanette. She works in the Blue Boar. But I am afraid I am not 'up to her standards'. I believe she has her eye set on someone else. I do not know what to do about it."
Jeanette
"She does not love me, I know. She would rather marry a rich man. I have not a chance."
Bye
Charles nods his head at you, then goes about his business.

Jeanette
"Hello again!" bubbly Jeanette says.
Charles
"He spoke of me, did he? Well, he may think again! I cannot bringing myself to socialize with the upper class. Those bourgeoisie rich men are obnoxious and egotistical. Besides, I am in love with another."
Upper class
"They are all alike. They work in castle and have piles of gold and can have woman they want! On the other hand, a humble merchant is the perfect man."
Another
"'Tis Willy the Baker! But he does not know it yet!" she giggles.
clip_image005
Lucy
"A moment, Jeanette! Thou hast it all wrong! Charles is a -servant-! Thou art an ignoramus! Charles is not 'upper class'! He is as working class as thee! 'Tis Willy who is the rich merchant! If thou dost ask me, 'tis Willy who is obnoxious and egotistical. Charles is a dream!"
clip_image004[1]
Jeanette
Jeanette thinks about what was said. "Thou art right! I cannot believe I have been so blind! Oh, Charles! I can actually consider Charles! And he is... So Handsome!" Jeanette squeals with delight." I shall have to flirt with him in earnest next time he is in the pub!"
Bye
"Farewell!"
clip_image006
回頭跟Charles報喜。
clip_image002[1]
Charles
"Hello, Avatar."
Thou art in luck
You tell Charles what Jeanette said.
"Really? Thou dost mean I have a chance?" Charles becomes so excited he nearly drops his tray. "Oh, I thank thee, Avatar, for giving me this hopeful news! I must run and send her flowers or some gift! I must declare my love!" He turns away from you, obviously walking on clouds.

Bennie
    You see an elderly man with good humor and a warm smile.
Name
    "All my friends call me Bennie."
Job
    "I am the Head Servant at the castle. My job consists of keeping the other servants in line and serving the meals."
Head Servant
    "Yes, I have been Head Servant for many years. Mine entire family works for Lord British. My son is the king's gentleman's gentleman. My daughter is the Royal Chambermaid. My wife is Head Cook. We are pleased to work for Lord British."
Meals
    "My wife, Boots, is the head cook. Her specialty is roast beef. She makes wonderful pastries, too. Enough of those will give thee a very un-Avatar-like figure! Wouldst thou like to order a meal?"
Yes
    "For thee, it is free!"
    Bennie serves you and your party a delicious meal of beef and pastry.
    "Return tomorrow and thou canst have another free meal."

Boots
    This is an elderly woman who epitomizes 'grandmotherly'.
Name
    "All my brothers and sisters called me 'Boots' when I was a baby, and it hath remained my name ever since."
Job
    "Why, I am Lord British's personal cook! I prepare meals for the entire castle."
Meals
    "Just go to the dining room at breakfast or supper time and mine husband Bennie will serve thee!"
Breakfast
    "For breakfast I usually prepare a dish that my Liege brought with him from his homeland. Here we call it Eggs British. It is served with assorted fruits and tea, of course. It is the King's favorite."
Supper
    "This meal is usually whatever meat or game or fish Lord British requests, accompanied by several additional courses and a fine dessert."
Bennie
    "He's a dear, but he has become a little absent-mined in his later years. He never remembers to bring enough meat from the slaughterhouse in Paws. In fact, we are short this week!"
Absent-minded
    "Last week I asked him to put a little garlic into some soup. He put in the garlic and then forgot about it. So he went and put some more in. Then he forgot he did that. So he put in more. Well, thou canst imagine the look on Lord British's face when he finally did taste that soup! It is a good thing we live and work in the castle of such a just ruler."
Short
    "That is right, we do not have enough. If thou couldst bring me mutton from the slaughterhouse, I will pay thee 5 gold for every portion thou canst bring. All right."
Yes
    "God, I will be awaiting thy return!"
Bye
    "Bye now!"

VARGAZ'S STORIES OF LEGEND

Reasons why one should never build doors facing north or west.

    Many centuries ago, the prophet, Father Antos, foretold the coming of a plague of Locust that would arrive from the lands to the north. He predicted that their source area was so important that it would indicate who would survive the attack, and who would not. He predicted that anyone living in a house having a door with a northern exposure would perish under the onslaught. Two days later, the locusts came, and in the aftermath, it was discoverd that only the houses with doors on the north wall were destroyed.

    ...The naturalist, Ergan, incorporating Algarth's discovery that the sun rises from the east, theorized that the nightly path of many dark-dwelling nasties could be traced. As the sun moves slowly to the west, Ergan contends, shadows increase in the east, forcing monsters to move that direction to stay out of the sun. Therefore, as denizens of the dark travel from the west, they are more likely to invade households with doors that directly cross their paths...

MEMPTO RAYS

A qualitative study in metaparaphilosophical radiation

by Mempto


    Despite Felcrodan's theory of 0335, there are, indeed, rays of energy that constantly bombard Britannia. In fact, there very same rays permeate of all the known space between Britannia and the stars. Recent experiments have proven my theory that there rays, knowns hereafter as 'Mempto Rays,' are lethal to all non-living matter. In fact, Mempto rays have demonstrated their ability numerous times, once killing an entire boulder in a matter of a few hours. It is my recommendation...

Nanna
    You see a working-class elderly woman who exudes sweetness."
Name
    "Oh, everyone simply calls me 'Nanna'."
Job
    "I watch over the Royal Nursery. I am the nanny of these wonderful children."
Royal Nursery
    "There have been a great number of babies born in Britannia in recent years, so Lord British established this nursery. It is nice that the noblemen and noblewomen have this luxury so that they may attend to their daily duties."

clip_image003
Spark
    "Whew! Dost thou smell what I smell, Avatar?"

clip_image004
Iolo
    "I believe that is the smell of diapers, boy. When thou art a father one day, thou wilt come to know that smell quite well."
Luxury
    "Yes, I suppose it really is a luxury. The poorer people in Britannia certainly do not have such a service for caring for their children. The rich do have an advantage." You detect a hint of bitterness in her voice.
Advantage
    "I do not mean to complain by any means. I adore my work. But contrary to the thinking of many of the noblemen and women, a class structure exists in Britannia more than ever before. Taxes are unbearable. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, as the saying goes."
Class structure
    "Well, look around! There are rich men who live in opulent castles. And right outside are poor people who live in hovels. Thou dost know there are winged gargoyles and wingless gargoyles? Well, it seems the human race is getting to be just as divided. There is no unity in the land anymore. It is why I have joined The Fellowship."
Taxes
    "The Britannian Tax Council drains us all dry. Especially the lower and middle classes."
nanny
    "Well, I feed them and change their diapers and read aloud all the books thou dost see lying around. Luckily, I have Sherry to help me."
Books
    "Lord British brought them from his homeland. They are very foreign to us here in Britannia, but the children enjoy them just the same."
Sherry
    "Sherry is a special mouse who has lived here in the castle for many, many years. She recites stories for the children."
Children
    "They are lovely, are they not? Every day they seem to learn more and more. Most of the time they are a joy." Nanna whispers to you conspiratorially,
    "And other times I could happily throw them out with the bathwater!"
    "The children must be outside playing with Sherry now."
Bye
    "Good day! Do come back and visit again soon!"

HUBERT'S HAIR-RAISING-ADVENTURE

By Bill Peet

Hubert the Lion was haughty and vain And especially proud of his elegant mane.

But conceit of this sort isn't proper at all And Hubert the Lion was due for a fall.

One day as he sharpened his claws on a rock He received a most horrible, terrible shock.

A flaming hot spark flaw up into the air, Came down on his head and ignited his hair.

With a roar of surprise he took off like a streak, Away through the jungle to Zambooz; Creek.

He leaped in kersplash! With a shower of bubbles, And came bobbing up with a head full of stubbles.

At first he just stared with a wide-open mouth At the cloud of black smoke drifting off to the south.

Then he felt with his paws just in back of his ears And he suddenly realized the worst of his fears.

'I am ruined,' he shouted, 'oh what'll I do! I'd rather be dead or go live in a zoo!

And if anyone sees me, oh what a disgrace, So I'd better discover a good hiding place!'

Name
    "I am Miranda."
Job
    "I serve on the Great Council. Today we are working on a bill of law. When I am not here in the castle, I am kept busy with a young child."
Great Council
    "The Great Council supports Lord British in the legislation of Britannia's laws. I am honored to be one of the three women serving on the Council."
Women
    "I am particularly concerned about women's duties and privileges and their available opportunities in the land. Our history has been kind to women in general, but there is still room for improvement."
Improvement
    "More women could hold public office, for one thing. And I would personally like to be rid of those scantily-clad women in heroic fantasy paintings."
Bill
    "Inwisloklem and I are drafting a bill which would make illegal any distribution of waste products in Lock Lake, near Cove. The lake is quite defiled."
Cove
    "Art thou travelling to Cove?"
Yes
    "That is good news! Perhaps thou couldst do us a great favor. We need this bill delivered to Lord Heather in Cove. He must read it and give us his approval by signing it. I know thou hast far more important things to do than running errands, but it would be greatly appreciated. Wilt thou do it?"
Yes
    "Wonderful! Here is the bill. Please bring it back to me when it is signed. And we thank thee."
Child
    "Miranda smiles. "Yes, my son's name is Max. He is probably in the Royal Nursery. He is quite obviously his father's son. Perhaps thou hast met him? Raymundo -- the director of the Royal Theatre. We believe Max will be quite a performer when he's older."

Inwisloklem

Job
    "To be, indeed, an interpreter in my homeland. To be now on the Great Council to serve our most noble ruler, Lord British. To be honored as one of the two Gargoyles on the Council."
Gargoyles
    "To be one of the surviving gargoyles and to be preserve our heritage is my life work. To tell you our race emigrated to Britannia many, many years ago. To have settled on the island known as Terfin."
Surviving
    "To be so many of my people killed two hundred years ago in the War of the False Prophet. To be the war that you ended by bringing peace between our races."
Terfin
    "To be a lonely place. To be desolate. To be not what humans call 'homey'. To desire to establish a new way of life for gargoyles in Britannia, and to eliminate the hatred and misunderstanding of our race in humans. To know that ignorance breeds bigotry. To be one of those who are correcting this."
Way of life
    "To desire a world where humans and gargoyles could live together in peace as equals in Britannian society."
Those
    "To be called The Fellowship."
Fellowship

Law

Name

Job
    "These days I remain in my position as Captain of the Guard. I am Lord British's personal bodyguard, and I am in charge of security at the castle. I do not have much time or use for adventuring now."
Adventuring
    "I have aged a bit over the last 200 years. I am afraid I shall not be joining thee this time. But my thoughts are with thee, and if I may offer some assistance, I shall be glad to do so."
Aged
    "Yes, it has been a long time by Britannian reckoning since I have seen mine homeland. When thou hast finished with thy business, do come back and tell me news of what is happening in our homeworld."
Assistance
    "Mine advice to thee is to build up thine experience and skills as soon as possible. Thou hast been away from Britannia for a long time. Thou mightest not be in the same shape, thou wert in at the end of thy last adventure here."
Experience
    "Go and search for monsters. Vanquish them. Take their gold! Gain experience! Use that experience when thou dost visit trainers. Increase thy strength, dexterity, and intelligence, as well as thy combat skill and ability to perform magic. Thou wilt be lost without this necessary evolution of experience!"
Shape
    "It is apparently another difference in our two worlds. Whenever thou shalt return it is as if thy physical body has arrived here for the first time. It is the reason why many of thine own companions have chosen to stay here even though they have aged in Britannian time."
Bye
    "Have courage. Have faith. Be strong. Be wise."

Advisor
    "To make sure the gargoyle race is heard in the castle. To have been a long road to acceptance and integration into Britannian society."
Integration
    "To tell you that, not long after your last visit, the gargoyles settled upon Terfin, an island to the southeast. To have moved, little by little, onto the mainland."
Society
    "To be accepted in most places. To feel sad, however, that there are still towns that do not accept us. But our Lord and King, Draxinusom, is still alive and is doing a magnificent job. To know and help all gargoyles who are alive."
Inamo
    Wislem listens to your story about the murder in Trinsic. "To be sad to hear this. To suggest that you visit Lord Draxinusom in Terfin and tell him about Inamo. He will know who Inamo's parent gargoyle is. To recommend you relay this news as soon as possible."
    "To go soon and tell Draxinusom about Inamo?"
Yes

Game
    "Thou must play The Game if thou dost want to speak with me."
What are the rules?

I know The Game

Of what do we speak?

Clue
