00:09Well, this is a fine mess, isn't it? The earth groans, the walls crumble, and the enemy isn't
00:17even alive enough to appreciate the trouble they're causing. Have you ever tried fighting an
00:23eighth spawn? Slow, shambling, dumbest rocks? Easy, right? Until they start running at you, in groups. And the worst part?
00:37They just keep coming. The cry acts are easy. You fight until one side gives up. But they spawn. They
00:46don't surrender. They don't negotiate. They don't even get tired.
00:51I almost got bitten by one that looked like a mutt the other day. I could have been a baker.
01:00Or even a blacksmith. There's a good coin in that. A stupid, foolish me wanted adventure. Wanted to be a
01:08hero like in those stories you read. There's nothing like those stories. Fighting wars is brutal, bloody business. This damned
01:18place is on its knees.
01:21The banners have fallen, the screams have faded, and the crows picket the remains of a city that dies in
01:26the mud.
01:28We're all that's left. A handful of battered soldiers, stubborn knights, and less than sober mercenaries.
01:38Most would choose to be anywhere but here. If their coin purses weren't so empty. You'd be surprised at how
01:44persuasive an empty stomach and a stack of gold could be.
01:47But let me tell you, it's not worth it. The job only gets worse. Don't believe the posters. Don't answer
01:58Varin's call.
02:00Or do. It's your decision.
02:03What do I know? I've only been here, awake, for three days straight.
02:09And I swear to the gods, I just saw a Gnomi move.
02:14Maybe I'll see you soon. Maybe I won't. The beer's good.
02:22Maybe I'll see you soon.
02:29Maybe I'll see you soon.
02:29Maybe I'll see you soon.
