\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dashington,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d you say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think \u00e2\u20ac\u201c\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n

But before you can continue explaining your thought \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or is it your un-thought? \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a noise out in the corridor captures your attention! <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Proet, no!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Duke Dashington exclaims, leaping to his feet. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It must be the mercenaries!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

As one, the two of you bravely dash out into the corridor, zathwop bladearm and lumino-epee held at the ready! You lay about you with your weapons in an impressive fashion, claiming the lives of many a mercenary. But just as it seems you may be able to win free, Duke Dashington is struck down! <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153O, Dashington!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d you exclaim, helping him to the ground with one arm as you skillfully parry the attack of a mercenary with the other.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Take heart, Princess,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he gasps, as his lifeblood pours forth, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153you may yet carry the day!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n

But you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. Only moments after making a brave vow to avenge the Duke\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s death, you receive your own mortal wound at the hands of a merciless mercenary. It seems that two people are not sufficient to hold off an army.<\/p>\n

Oops. <\/p>\n
