READ ONLY CHRISTIAN'S LINES

YOU NEEDN'T READ IT ALL (though that'd be nice)

GARRISONED KNIGHT 3 / CHRISTIAN

No! Please, spare me! I'll do anything!

ARTHUR

The royal army must be desperate. 

ARTHUR

Why is a mewling pup like you on the battlefield?

ARTHUR

What’s your name, son? 

CHRISTIAN

I’m C-Christian, my lord.

ARTHUR

I am no lord.

ARTHUR

Christian, is it? Be a good lad and remove your clothing.

CHRISTIAN

T-take off my clothes?! You can’t mean —

ZENOVIA

Arthur! I had no idea you had such… perversions!

ARTHUR

Have you gone mad?

ARTHUR

The armour! I need the lad's armour!

ARTHUR

The armour on these fallen knights are littered with blood and marks of battle.

ARTHUR

One look, and it'll be easy to tell that it's stolen.

ARTHUR

His armour on the other hand is still in rather good condition.

ARTHUR

Must be lucky.

ARTHUR

I’ll be taking that armour, boy. Make haste!

CHRISTIAN

 A-alright! Alright! It's yours!

CHRISTIAN

Just... give me a moment and I'll hand it over.

Christian walks towards the trees, meaning to disrobe behind them. 

Everyone watches him intently.

PENELOPE

Any sudden moves and I’ll send an arrow through your heart.

Christian stops in his tracks for a moment, visibly frightened.

He continues behind the trees.

Camera fades out for a short time and fades back into Christian wearing only his gambeson and pants.

He walks over to Arthur with armour in hand.

CHRISTIAN

Here it is, okay! Just…

CHRISTIAN

Just let me live…

ARTHUR

You are in no position to be making demands, boy.

ARTHUR

I'll have you answer my questions. 

ARTHUR

Speak falsely, and see what happens…

CHRISTIAN

A-Alright, alright! I’ll tell you everything I know!


ARTHUR

… *muses on what to ask*

*Elongated hmph*

    DIALOG CHOICE 1: “Ask about infiltrating the fort”

ARTHUR

Now then, what must I tell the knights in order to convince them that we’re actually new recruits?

CHRISTIAN

W-well, as far as I know, recruits always arrive alone.

CHRISTIAN

All of our recruits come from Fort Nelson after basic training.

ARTHUR

Good to know.

– END DIALOG CHOICE –

DIALOG CHOICE 2: “Ask about the dungeons”

ARTHUR

Do you know of any prisoners being held in the dungeon?

CHRISTIAN

I-I don't know! No one is allowed near the dungeons.

CHRISTIAN

All of our recruits come from Fort Nelson after basic training.

CHRISTIAN

But, the cooks would make extra meals... 

CHRISTIAN

We'd fight over who would get to eat them.

CHRISTIAN

But, the cooks wouldn't tell us who they’re for

CHRISTIAN

Four extra trays... I can only assume they were for prisoners.

ARTHUR

Only four cells in the dungeons? Are you certain, boy?

CHRISTIAN

Y-yes! Well, no, I... I can't be certain!

CHRISTIAN

Lord Eustace is known to execute traitors and criminals.

CHRISTIAN

It's rare for him to even take a single prisoner...

– END DIALOG CHOICE –

DIALOG CHOICE 3: “Finish Interrogation”

ARTHUR

We're done here.

– END DIALOG CHOICE –

Jacques steps up.

JACQUES

Alright, we got what we needed. Let's dispose of him.

JACQUES

Can't have him slithering back to his masters and alerting them of our presence, can we?

CHRISTIAN

What? N-no! Please!

CHRISTIAN

I’ve told you all that I know, I’ve only been stationed here for three months!

CHRISTIAN

I-I won't move a muscle. I swear!

ARTHUR

*dejected sigh*

ARTHUR

He has a point. If you were to flee, things could get messy.

ARTHUR

No way around it.


CHRISTIAN

M-mercy! Please!
