49	48	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_001	If anyone can find that treasure, it's us─but even if we don't, the adventure will be reward enough, I reckon.
50	49	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_002	The news of Doma and Ala Mhigo's liberation has kindled the flames of revolution in every corner of the Empire. I hear the imperial province of Dalmasca has already risen up in rebellion...
51	50	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_010	...Which means the Garleans must surely have their hands full. What better time than now to indulge in such a diversion? Tell us, Arenvald─have we any clues as to where we might begin our search?
52	51	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_011	Well, judging by how the other treasure hunters fared, nosing about the palace isn't like to get us anywhere, so...we'll probably need to, uh...ask around.
53	52	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_012	Would that be another way of saying no?
54	53	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_013	Well... Heh heh heh! Yes.
55	54	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_014	I see. In that case, I shall pay a visit to the Allied archivists and request access to the records seized from the imperials.
56	55	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_015	The Garleans are meticulous about such things. If they uncovered the trove during their occupation, the event is certain to have been recorded.
57	56	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_016	In the meantime, the two of you can track down those who worked as palace servants and officials in Theodoric's day.
58	57	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_017	Given that they would have been at least twenty at the time, you will be looking for people who have seen forty summers or more. Anything they can tell you about the king and his bloody deeds may prove useful, so be sure to listen well.
59	58	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_018	Arenvald, pray try your luck in the Fringes and the Peaks whilst Player makes the rounds in the Ala Mhigan Quarter.
60	59	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_019	Hah! And there I was thinking *I* was the party leader. Not that I mind, of course! Let's be about it, eh? We can meet afterwards at Gylbarde's Gate!
61	60	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEMAN_000_030	...In the palace? No, not me, lass.
62	61	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEMAN_000_031	Surely you've heard stories of the mad king? He used to hold public executions up on the Divine Audience. Anyone─and I mean *anyone*─suspected of conspiring against the crown was flung from the top of those steps.
63	62	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEMAN_000_032	Suffice it to say that I stayed as far away from the palace as possible.
64	63	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEMAN_000_035	No, lass─I never set foot in the house of the King of Ruin. Who in their right mind would want to go anywhere near a man like him?
65	64	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEWOMAN_000_040	You want to hear an old maid's stories, do you? Aye, well most of what I know of the mad king is common knowledge.
66	65	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEWOMAN_000_041	We'd only see His Royal Majesty when he deigned to attend the executions he'd ordered. And after a while, even watching his “enemies” die wasn't enough to coax him out of hiding.
67	66	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEWOMAN_000_042	They say he started seeing assassins in every shadow, and wouldn't set foot outside the palace walls. I was offered work there as a royal servant once, but the mere thought of it left me in a cold sweat...
68	67	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEWOMAN_000_045	I was never desperate enough to accept a job at the palace. No amount of coin is worth your life.
69	68	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEHELLSGUARD_000_050	...Aye, I served at the pleasure of King Theodoric, and lived to tell the tale. One of the palace guards, I was.
70	69	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEHELLSGUARD_000_051	Truth be told, it was a dark chapter in my life, and one I'd sooner forget. Hardly a night went by when we didn't hear bloodcurdling screams echoing from the inner chambers─which, of course, we were under orders to ignore.
71	70	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEHELLSGUARD_000_052	So we'd stand still as statues, trying not to imagine what horrors were unfolding within... <sigh> If you're hells-bent on finding out what happened in the palace, head down the street here and ask old Ernold─he was the king's head scribe.
72	71	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_MIDDLEAGEHELLSGUARD_000_055	You'll find Ernold down that way. If any man was privy to the king's secrets, it was him.
73	72	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ERNOLD_000_060	Yes, I am Ernold. ...What do you want with me?
74	73	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ERNOLD_000_061	Hmmm, you would have me dredge up some decidedly unsavory memories. Yet if Ala Mhigo is to move forward, we must needs acknowledge the misdeeds of the past.
75	74	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ERNOLD_000_062	Very well, I shall tell you what I remember. I take it you know of Theodoric's paranoia and the public executions of his kinsmen?
76	75	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ERNOLD_000_063	Those were terrible enough. But in his last days, the king's fevered mind settled upon an even grislier method of “disposal” which only a chosen few were unfortunate enough to witness.
77	76	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ERNOLD_000_064	His Majesty ordered the court thaumaturge to unleash a vile curse upon the remaining members of the royal family─a magic which transformed them into fiends of hideous aspect. The resulting...monstrosities were then cast into the darkness below the palace.
78	77	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ERNOLD_000_065	Even now, my sleep is troubled by nightmares. If others of Theodoric's blood were prone to share his madness, then mayhap it is a kindness that the monarchy ended with him.
79	78	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ERNOLD_000_070	It is my hope that Ala Mhigo shall never again suffer the likes of the King of Ruin. We forget at our peril...
80	79	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_071	Ah, excellent timing as ever. We have but this moment returned from our own intelligence-gathering efforts.
81	80	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_080	Since we're all here, why don't we share what we've learned?
82	81	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_081	Allow me to begin, then. As promised, I scoured the imperial records for any mention of fantastic treasures...and found precisely none.
83	82	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_082	It is just possible, I suppose, that a corrupt official deliberately hid the fact of the trove's discovery, hoping to enrich himself─but I find it rather unlikely that so valuable a find would stay secret for long. I conclude that our prize either does not exist, or that the imperials somehow overlooked it.
84	83	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_100_082	But what of you, Player? Were your investigations any more fruitful?
85	84	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_083	...Turned into *monsters*? And what could he mean by this “darkness beneath the palace,” I wonder...
86	85	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_084	I met an old man in Ala Ghiri who spoke of the palace's subterranean prison, but he said naught of cursed abominations!
87	86	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_085	The imperial archives were also silent on the subject of fiends inside the palace grounds.
88	87	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_086	Could this scribe fellow have been spinning her a yarn, do you think? Did you believe him, Player?
89	88	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_Q1_000_000	Did you believe Ernold's tale?
90	89	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_A1_000_001	His fear seemed genuine.
91	90	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_A1_000_002	He may have been lying...
92	91	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_088	If he was afraid, that does lend credence to the tale─though I'm not sure how that helps us in our search.
93	92	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_089	Then we're back where we started...
94	93	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_090	Do not be so hasty─Ernold's anecdote may very well have told us where the trove is hidden. But ere I share my theory, there is a matter I would clarify.
95	94	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_091	Arenvald, you spoke of light-hearted adventure, but I sense a deeper motive for this expedition. Why are you so intent on finding this treasure?
96	95	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_092	...It wasn't all pretense, I swear it. But...you're right.
97	96	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_093	My father was in the imperial army, a man of Garlean blood. I trust you know what I mean when I say that my Ala Mhigan mother did not welcome my arrival?
98	97	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_094	As I grew, she would check my brow over and over, convinced that a spot on my skin was an emerging third eye─like the kind you see in pureblood Garleans. My mother did not care for this taunting reminder of my heritage, and took up a knife... War paint serves to cover the scar.
99	98	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_095	In the end, she turned me out into the street, and I was left to haunt the alleyways of Ala Mhigo, a feral child who got what he needed through begging, cunning, or worse.
100	99	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_096	The best I can say about the years that followed is that I survived. But I hated the animal I'd become. Eventually, I left the city behind me, and joined a group of refugees bound for the other side of the Wall. It was then that I turned to adventuring, and that road led me into the company of the Scions.
101	100	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_097	I tell you this so that you understand: I know all too well what poverty and hunger can do to a person.
102	101	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ARENVALD_000_098	I drew steel on ordinary folk for a measly crust of bread. With Theodoric's gold, I could spare my countrymen the shame of living like that.
103	102	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_099	Thank you, Arenvald, and I apologize─that cannot have been pleasant to recall. But I felt it best to be clear in our intentions.
104	103	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_100	Well, Player? Are you content to surrender the treasure to Arenvald's noble cause, and claim the thrill of adventure as your reward?
105	104	TEXT_STMBDB102_02963_ALPHINAUD_000_101	Then I should be glad to tell you my theory on the resting place of the mad king's trove...if you are minded to hear it?
