Your father asks if any of the nobles have questions for you - and Dace asks his. This is one of the ways that the
game can change - you decide what you want to do here, and it does influence the game, though the influence is
subtle. Since I agreed to help him and I did not much care for Lady Helmi, I made good on my promise and
supported the surface Dwarves.
The people seem to be as happy as ever - maybe Lady Helmi is wrong about the general consensus. After the
cheering abates, you learn that your mission tomorrow is related to the Grey Wardens - and Duncan makes a short
statement before your father opens the feast and you are set to your own again.
Now would be a good time to say hello to Duncan - maybe get to know him a little. Duncan has heard of you -
mostly from your father - and he implies that you would be a welcome addition to the ranks of the Grey Wardens!
Now would be a good time to look into that, yes?
Chatting with Duncan gets you three new Codex entries - you may want to read those as they are interesting. On the
way out say hello to Dace - he seems pleased doesn't he?
Another Meeting with Prince Trian
After you depart the feast you will notice the white arrow on your radar map. Following that will take you to your
brother Trian's chambers - where you will find him with your other brother, Bhelen. You know I don't think he likes
you much :)
You pass on the message that your father wants to see him, and off he goes, leaving you with Bhelen, who actually
has something that he wants to tell you. According to Bhelen, Trian plans to kill you in the confusion of the battle
tomorrow!
Bhelen explains that Trian believes that you are a threat to his taking the throne when our father dies; Bhelen talks
about the manner in which kings are chosen, and implies that you have a better than average chance of being
declared king by the Assembly should you father die. Bhelen adds that as you are his favorite brother, he would
hate to see you die - and Trian be made king. While he may not have any idea how you should proceed, Bhelen
declares that he will follow your lead whatever your decision.
Now is it just me, or does this seem too good to be true? Maybe I am naturally suspicious - Gorim seems to think
that you should kill Trian, and Bhelen, well, like he said, he will follow your lead - but all that really means is he
does not want to go on the record as having an opinion one way or the other! I don't trust him - I just don't trust
him.
That out of the way, Ser Gorim reminds you that you have a menage-a-trois awaiting you back in your quarters - and
away you go!
The Battle Arrives
A cinematic CS ensues in which your father fires up the troops and Duncan puts in a word, before you discuss the
plans for the day. Bhelen seems to have grown a backbone, but he still heads off on the mission your father assigned
to him.
You are briefed on your special mission - to reclaim the shield of your ancestor. There is glory to be had here - and
if we have any luck, some fighting as well! Finish out the CS to learn what you are supposed to do, and then head
on out to battle and glory!
You gain the Codex entry for the Deep Roads, and then you begin at their entrance. moving to the right over the
rubble you can enter the Roads proper, where you will soon find yourself facing - wait for it - a Giant Spider! Yeah,
it is a cliche, but if it was not a Giant Spider, it would be a Giant Rat, right? That is how first combat in an RPG works
:)
