Dialog
- Travel to Tudor Street
Arphaun: We have a problem, <playername>.
Arphaun: The High Lord Maxim, Seneschal of the Templar, is mustering his ranks. I suspect he means to assault the Hellgate.
Arphaun: Hmph! It's no great surprise. Maxim has always been plagued by arrogance and excessive ambition.
Arphaun: A growing need to become legend has made the High Lord blind to all reason.
Arphaun: Now the fool thinks himself the next Patrick Sumerisle!
Arphaun: The late Grand Master wrote his name with blood in the annals of our history. Maxim yearns for similar recognition, but doesn't understand...
Arphaun: Summerisle sacrificed to secure our future. He died so that we might live!
Arphaun: Maxim... Well, he fights only to secure glory -- an ignoble reason to begin any crusade.
Arphaun: Worse, now that we've met three Truths, the High Lord may actually think himself capable of victory.
Arphaun: I fear he could even launch a premature assault upon the Hellgate, despite the Sister telling us we must first discover the other Truths.
Arphaun: The fool!
Arphaun: An assault now will earn us nothing but death.
Arphaun: Truth is the key! I'm certain of that. To ignore it is to embrace oblivion.
Arphaun: Hm. I think you may be able to help, <playername>.
Arphaun: If the High Lord is mad enough to put his own wants before the lives of all Templar -- of all survivors! -- we must know for sure.
Arphaun: Only you can find out.
Arphaun: All I require now is a way to get you in the door, close to Maxim.
Arphaun: Hm. I will work on that. Come back to me soon.
- Speak with Arphaun again
Arphaun: I must speak with you. Time is short.
Arphaun: I'm afraid I have done something...impulsive that may aid you in entering Maxim's circle.
Arphaun: I have intercepted a video transmission from the Seraphim First Sword, Aeron Altair, one of Maxim's most valued knights.
Arphaun: Listen now.
- Video Transmission from Aeron Altair
Aeron Altair: Lord Maxim, Your pardon, sire. Principality Lan and his Fist were fallen upon in Tudor Street.
Aeron Altair: Lann himself was taken.
Aeron Altair: I beg you spare the Fists necessary to mount a rescue. Without reinforcements, Lann stands little chance.
Arphaun: Templar Base is but one stop from where Lann was ambushed, <playername>, but Maxim will send no one...
Arphaun: He has not received this signal. I have not allowed it to pass.
Arphaun: Please, I know this seems a terrible thing, but you must understand what's at stake. You must listen to me!
Arphaun: War, <playername>... I speak now of war and its cost.
Arphaun: Yes, Lann may die. I know it. But his capture presents an opportunity I will not dismiss.
Arphaun: If Maxim assaults the Hellgate now, as I suspect, all will be lost.
Arphaun: Sometimes, for the greater good an individual must sacrifice everything.
Arphaun: Lann would understand, <playername>. Can you?
Arphaun: If you will, I would hav eyou meet Seraph Altair at Tudor Street and attempt Lann's rescue.
Arphaun: Maxim thrives off heroics. If you can save the Principality and deliver him to Maxim, you may yet gain insight into the High Lord's schemes.
Arphaun: Even if you fail to secure Brandon, the very attempt will shine and Maxim will still be -- hm, there is no soft way to put it -- in need of a new Principality.
Arphaun: Take this first-aid kit. I hope Lann still lives to make use of it.
Arphaun: I am sorry. In war, no decision is easy, <playername>.
Arphaun: Good luck and Godspeed.
