Conflict Among Allies in Dungeons & Dragons
Szass Tam
I sense your impatience.
[speaks Thayan]
Sofina
Szass Tam...?
Szass Tam
But you have always been the disciple I rely on most. Doff your cowl. You needn't hide your sigils from me.
[speaks English]
Sofina
I'd rather be flensed and flayed than spend another hour with Forge Fitzwilliam.
[takes her hood off as her cloak turns red]
Szass Tam
The man is insufferable. But we never would've come this far without his "charm". The living have befouled this world long enough. Take solace in knowing that your work here is nearly complete.
Forge
There you are. With your hood off, I notice. Probably best to keep that on. You know, you Red Wizards of Thay are not as popular as you should be outside of Thay. And of course, you're about to be considerably less popular. B-but far, far be it from me ever to tell you what to do. Uh, Caldwell and Piradost have just arrived. I was gonna give them... Awful, isn't it? I really have to do something about these chairs. They're, uh...
[sees Sofina; chuckles; as Sofina stands up, the chair scrapes loudly on the ground; Doric disguised as a fly flies by him, he unknowingly shoos her away]

Reflections on Sacrifice and Sacred Ground
Holga Kilgore
So many of my kin gave their lives in battle here. I'd always imagined I'd be buried in sacred ground like this.

Legacy of Sorcery and Family Ties
Elminster Aumar
There he is, the great Simon Aumar, sorcerer descended from wizarding blood.
Simon Aumar
Who are you?
Elminster
Don't you know me? My name is Aumar too.
Simon
You're my great-great-grandfather.
Elminster
That's quite the helm. What makes you think you're worthy of it?
[chuckles]
Simon
I believe in myself?
Elminster
You're asking me?
Simon
No, I'm-I'm sure. I'm a great sorcerer.
Elminster
Are you now? Funny thing about magic: it chooses who may wield it and it does not suffer fools.
Simon
Why are you telling this?
Elminster
Oh, I think you know, Simon.
[taps the helm off Simon]

Desperate Measures in a Time Crisis
Edgin
She's caught in a Time Stop! Counter it, Simon!
[turns around to see Holga frozen in time]
Simon
I can't! Sofina's too powerful!
[he runs off]
Edgin
Take the tablet. Keep Kira safe.
[he tries to run away but slips on a golden chalice, turns to Forge; throws the Tablet of Reawakening to Forge]
Forge
You have my word.
[catches the Tablet of Reawakening; runs off]

Transformation and Uncertainty Among Friends
Holga
So she did become a deer.
Edgin
Only at the very end. Are you absolutely sure about Sofina?
[to Doric]
Doric
I saw her markings.
Simon
No wonder I couldn't counter her Time Stop.
Edgin
Forge knew all along he's got my daughter in there with a Red Wizard.
Doric
The vault is protected by something called "Morty Caiman's Arcane Seal".
Simon
Mordenkainen?
Doric
Yeah, that's it.
Simon
Oh, pity!
[disbelief]
Edgin
What?
Simon
If the vault has Mordenkainen's Seal, we're not getting in. It's impenetrable.
Holga
Can't you just open it with ]?
[[magic]
Simon
Okay, here we go. I hate how everyone thinks that you can solve any problem with magic. There are limits. This isn't some bedtime story. This is the real world.
Doric
So there's no way to open it?
Simon
Well, I mean, if I was one of the world's most powerful sorcerers, so no. Or if we had the Helm of Disjunction.
Edgin
The what?
[gets the idea]
Simon
It's a helmet that disables all nearby enchantments. But it doesn't matter. That thing went missing ages ago. We're done.
[gets up]
Edgin
Huh? C'mon! What's the problem? We can find the helmet.
[follows Simon]
Simon
Even if we could, I couldn't use it without attuning to it, which I'm terrible at.
Edgin
Oh, you can do it. I know you can.
Simon
You saying that doesn't make it so.
Edgin
Yeah, but you saying it does.
Simon
But I can't.
Edgin
Yes you can.
Simon
But I won't.
Edgin
Just say it.
Simon
No!
Edgin
Ugh, fine. Can we just keep this between us? I don't wanna hurt the group's morale.
[walks to sit back down]
Simon
What morale?
[sits back down as well]
Doric
Holga knows where the helmet is.
Edgin
You do?
[looks at Holga]
Holga
My tribe fought the Cult of the ] over it at the Evermoors. We can just ask them where it went.
[[Dragon]
Simon
That ] was a century ago. They're all dead.
[[battle]
Holga
So ask them with magic.
Doric
He just made a whole speech how he can't fix everything with magic.
Simon
Actually, that is something I can do.
[he admits it; Holga chuckles in approval, as if to say "I told you so."]
Doric
You can bring back the dead?
[shocked]
Simon
I can't, uh, bring them back, but I have this token that lets me ask corpses some questions and then they go back to being dead.
Doric
Yuck.
Simon
Yeah, it's fairly horrible.
Edgin
It's fairly wonderful. We're off to the Evermoors. Thank you, Simon, for the drinks.
[he and Holga get up]
Simon
Oh, what? No...
Holga
Just pay it with magic.

Confusion Over Plans in Strategy Discussion
Edgin
The Games have started. We're going to Plan C.
[hears the horn that signals the High Sun Games]
Simon
Oh, buttocks. What's Plan C?
Edgin
Plan C is we go back to Plan A. We're gonna attune to the helmet.
[turns and points to Simon]
Holga
Why don't you just call it Plan A?
Edgin
Plan A has a stink on it.
Simon
You know darn well I can't attune to the thing.
[losing his temper]
Edgin
That's not true! You couldn't attune to it. Look at me. Look at me! Huh? Do you remember that job in Loudwater? You couldn't spider-climb until Jolym sicked his dog on you. And when we robbed the spear of Aoth Fezim, your Stone Skin spell failed until the arrows were inches away. Even in Triboar, you flipped the ] of the whole theater!
[[gravity]
Doric
You did?
[amazed]
Simon
By accident. It was wild magic and that only happened because they were gonna kill me.
[embarrassed]
Edgin
Exactly! Look, you are at your strongest when you think you're at your weakest. But you deliver. You're gonna get into that vault, okay? Not because you can, but because you must.
[pats Simon on the cheek]
Doric
I'm gonna keep chipping away. If I can get a quarter inch, I'll be able to squeeze through as a worm.
Edgin
As a worm! A-as a worm! Perfect! Do you see this? Now we have a Plan D if Plan C fails.
Holga
Isn't Plan D just Plan B again?
Edgin
Plan B has a stink too.
Simon
It all stinks.

Trust and Danger in Decision-Making
Kira
Why can't I come?
Edgin
Sorry, Kira, this one's too dangerous.
Kira
Then--Then you shouldn't go. We have everything that we need.
Edgin
Not yet. But this is the last one. Trust me.
[hugs Kira and walks off]
Holga
Chin up, bug. We'll be right back.
[walks off]

Witty Retorts Amidst Dark Threats
Sofina
For too long, I've endured the arrogance of Forge Fitzwilliam, the false charm, the quips. And just as I begin to purge this place of its living filth, you dare interpose. Now, as you die, rest assured it will not be the end, for you will forever suffer.
Edgin
Ugh! I'm sorry, your breath just smells like...old clothes. It's bad.
Sofina
What is this?
Simon
I countered your Time Stop. I got better.
Edgin
We had to distract you so Kira could slap on that cuff and so Doric could do this. I think you got her.
[Doric turns into an owlbear and attacks Sofina; Sofina wakes up; Doric pins her again and throws her into a wall]

A Father's Regret and Redemption Journey
Edgin Darvis
The truth is even if this council was to sentence me to another 2 years, or 20 for that matter, it wouldn't be punishment enough for the worst crime I ever committed: robbing my daughter of her father. But know that if you do choose to free me, I'll spend the rest of my days tryna right that wrong.

Consequences of Being a Harper
Edgin Darvis
When you're a Harper, you're bound to make enemies. Sometimes those enemies come looking for revenge.

Confronting Truths and Past Relationships
Forge
Knock-knock! I wanted to make sure you were alright.
[sits next to Kira]
Kira
I knew I'd see him again one day. I just hoped it would be different.
Forge
Well, you have to understand when he lost your mother, he sorta lost himself.
Kira
Why would he lie about the tablet?
Forge
Maybe he was ashamed to admit how much he'd given up for so little.
Kira
I should probably go speak to him. What?
[Forge gives a look]
Forge
Well, he's gone, my dear. He's gone. I gave him the Tablet of Riches and...he left.
Kira
Holga too?
[looks sad]
Forge
I'm sorry. And I want you to know that even he isn't there for you, I always will be.
Kira
I know.
[smiles]
Forge
The fact that you see good in me makes me believe that there might just be some on there.

Strategizing for the Vault Heist
Holga
How bout this: we use the Hither-Thither staff to get into the vault.
Simon
No, I've explained this. You can't Hither-Thither into a room you can't see.
Holga
I'm not saying that. I'm saying we put the portal on something and then sneak that thing into the vault.
Edgin
Mm, the only thing going in that vault is ].
[[treasure]
Holga
So we put the portal on some treasure.
Edgin
Forge did say the richest men in Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep are bringing loot to the city. They'll be traveling the High Road. We could catch one of their convoys.
Doric
There'll be dozens of guards.
Edgin:
Yeah, but the guards will guarding against people taking things out of their wagon, not putting them in! Holga, I could kiss you!
Holga
Try it.

Thieves with a Code of Conduct
Edgin Darvis
Yes, we were thieves. But I tried to hold us to a certain standard. We never harmed anyone and we only robbed from those who would feel it the least.

Sacrifice and Loyalty in Challenging Times
Simon Aumar
I'd sit too, but there's not enough room on the rock.
Doric
I'm not doing this for the money. I'm doing this for people who took me in when no one else would.
Xenk Yendar
Many lives were lost in defense of that helm. To speak of it would be to diminish their sacrifice.
Kira Davis
I'm sorry I believed him.

Sofina
You know not the scope of my power!

Reflections on Consequences and Personal Growth
Forge Fitzwilliam
One could argue that my actions, reprehensible though they were, led to a virtual renaissance for the city. And while I've only served the 1st year of my sentence, I have to say it has been...eye-opening. I have taken a look inside, and I've asked myself: "What's going on in there?". And, you know, I realized...a lot of it goes back to my mum. She was a stern woman prone to fits and--

Negotiating Life and Death in High Stakes
Forge
You'd think you'd be able to distinguish between your own daughter and a 300-year old wizard. Don't worry, Kira's safe. Unlike me, she had no idea you were coming. I don't think she knows how tenacious you've become, huh? Look, Ed, uh... I'm really sorry for the way things turned out. But I think if you were truly honest, you'd have to admit I can give Kira a better life. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that she's with the father she deserves. Now I'm in a pickle because...I don't wanna see you die. Which is why I'm gonna leave the room. What?
[laughing as he walks into the room to find Edgin wrapped in tentacles by Sofina; sits down; as he's about to leave, Edgin tries to something from behind a tentacle; uses a handkerchief to remove a tentacle from Edgin's mouth]
Edgin
If you're gonna kill us, at least let us die with dignity.
[gasps for a breath]
Forge
How do you mean?
Edgin
Put us in the High Sun Games. Give us a fighting chance.
Forge
That's not a chance. It's not a chance at all. I mean, even if you were to somehow survive the tournament, Sofina's gonna... Uh... I-it would be much, much better for you to die here than go to the Games.
[Sofina glares at him]
Sofina
No. They defeated your men and mine. Let them fight in the arena. They deserve that much.

Understanding Resentment Over Time
Forge Fitzwilliam

Tension Among Allies Over a Shared Threat
Simon
Szass Tam won't be happy about this.
Edgin
Well, if he comes back, we'll be ready.
Doric
We"?
Edgin
Oh, that's right. You don't like humans, do you?
Doric
Some are okay. What about you? Going back to the Harpers? Be with your people?
Edgin
I'm with my people.
Simon
So, uh, I know my last attempt to court you was quite bad. But I wonder if you'd consider having another go at it.
[chuckles]
Doric
Yeah, alright.
[pause]
Simon
Yeah?
[excited]
Doric
Calm down.
Simon
Right.

The Importance of Adaptability in Planning
Doric
What is it, exactly, that you bring to this?
Edgin
Me? I'm a planner. You know, I make plans.
Doric
You've already made the plan, so what value do you have now?
Edgin
If the plan fails, the existing plan, I make a new plan.
Doric
So you make plans that fail.
Edgin
No.
Holga
He also plays the lute.
Edgin
Holga, not relevant.

Unexpected Conversations with the Revived Corpse
Edgin
Were you killed in the Battle of the Evermoors?
[they can ask a revived corpse five questions before it dies again]
Revived corpse
Yes.
Edgin
Great! I mean, not for you. Sorry for your loss. Four more questions, right?
[to Simon]
Revived corpse
Yes.
Edgin
No, no, no, that wasn't for you. Did that count as a question?
[to Simon]
Revived corpse
Yes.
Edgin
Dammit! Only answer when I talk to you, okay?
Revived corpse
Yes.
Simon
Why did you say "okay?" at the end of that?
Revived corpse
I didn't.
[lies back in its coffin, dead]
Edgin
Fantastic. Where's the shovel?

Trust Issues Among Allies
Edgin
Keep your guard up. I don't trust this guy.
[referring to Xenk]
Holga
Even though he's helping us?
Edgin
Ah, he's got something up his sleeve.
Xenk
The only thing up my sleeve is my arm.
Edgin
How could he hear that?
[whispering]
Xenk
I hear that as well.
Edgin
I hate you.

Urgent Journey to Safety
Kira
A-a trip?
Forge
Yes. Something urgent has come up, but if we leave now, we'll be safe.
Kira
Safe from what?
Forge
What is this?
[looks at unconscious guards]
Edgin
This is an ambush. On the boat you were gonna use to escape from Neverwinter.
Kira
Dad...?
Edgin
Hi, honey. Hey, Forge, why don't you tell her what this is?
[holds the Tablet of Reawakening]
Forge
I don't know.
[shrugs]
Edgin
It's the Tablet of Reawakening, Kira. It's the reason why I left you.
Holga
Your dad's been telling you the truth, bug. It's Uncle Forge who's been feeding you lies.
Forge
It's rubbish. It's just rubbish.
[laughs nervously]
Edgin
Come with me, Kira. We'll go home, bring back Mom. We can be a family again.
Forge
You're not taking my money. Put down the tablet and get off my ship. All of you. Now!
[pulls out a knife and points at Kira]
Edgin
Okay, okay, okay.
Kira
What are you doing?!
[panicked]
Forge
It's alright. Shush, my darling, be quiet.
Edgin
It's going down. Just don't hurt her.
[puts the tablet down]
Forge
See that, Kira? Your father knows me. He knows I'm prepared to do terrible things to get what I want, even to those I care about most. In the end, that's all that separates the beggar...
[referring to Edgin; Holga spots a potato]
Holga
Nobody hurts my bug.

Welcome to the High Sun Games
Forge Fitzwilliam
What a profound joy it is to welcome you, the good people of Neverwinter, to the resumption of the High Sun Games! I guarantee that you are in for the most riveting spectacle on all the Sword Coast. The rules are very simple: 5 harrowing challenges, 5 teams of champions. Whoever survives to reach the Cage of Sanctuary moves on to the next stage. One thing: I do urge you, please do not leave the arena till the close of the Games, as there will be a wonderful gift for each and every one of you! Alright, take me down. This is absurdly high. It's not what we discussed.
[crowd cheers; crowd cheers again, he looks down]
