Completion
Huh.
I did not expect to be given command.
Very well. Let's do this.
Notes
Upon accept:
- Lilian Voss says: I have an Alliance contact meeting us by our boat. We are going ahead of the army to offer our aid.
- Calia Menethil says: And to ensure we don't take King Greymane by surprise. His dislike of the Forsaken is well known.
- Calia Menethil says: Watch yourself, tensions will be high.
Upon reaching the boat:
- Princess Tess Greymane says: Good to see you. I assume you can be trusted.
- Lilian Voss says: I trust <name> with my life. We are in good hands.
Calia has a new gossip:
I only know Tess in passing, she was very young when Gilneas left the Alliance after the Second War.
Lilian has worked with her in the past though, and speaks highly of her.
So does Lilian:
Tess and I have worked together in the past, against the Legion and... other endeavors.
I trust her with my life.
As well as Tess:
Our plan is that the Forsaken army will as a distraction while a small team sneaks in and opens the gates for the Gilneas army.
I just hope we can convince my father to agree to it.
(Quest) I'm ready to go to Gilneas.
- Lilian Voss says: Tess, what can we expect?
- Princess Tess Greymane says: I should ask you--you're the expert. Gilneans know precious little of the Scarlet Crusade.
- Lilian Voss says: At one point, we--they fought against the Scourge. But fanaticism eventually blinded them.
- Calia Menethil says: Now they view everyone as monsters to be cleansed by the Light. Eradicated.
- The scene fades to black. On the other side, the party has arrived in Keel Harbor.
- Princess Tess Greymane says: There's my father now. Wait here--and let me do the talking.
- Genn Greymane says: Tess! What are they doing here?
On the pier and further in the village are dead Scarlet Scouts.
The named characters all have gossip:
My daughter is as much a force to be reckoned with as my husband.
The Scarlet Crusade has no idea what it is about to face.
First the Forsaken, now the Scarlet Crusade--I won't allow anyone to take Gilneas from us again.
This is my kingdom. I will see these lands returned to my people.
The Forsaken army stands ready to assist the Gilneans in retaking their city.
Any chance to thin out the Scarlet Crusade's numbers is a good one, no matter who they're fighting.
I had intended this to be another step in repairing relations between the Forsaken and the Gilneans. I only hope King Greymane sees our intentions for what they are.
His people have suffered enough.
Attempting to take Gilneas by siege will result in carnage on both sides.
The Forsaken are experts in dealing with the Scarlet Crusade. That's useful alone--but the Scarlets also hate them enough that any Forsaken presence will prove a useful distraction from our forces.
That will give us the edge we need.
- (Quest) What is your plan?
- (Skip Conversation) I don't have time for this.
- Princess Tess Greymane says: They are here to help us retake Gilneas, Father.
- Genn Greymane says: They are the reason we were driven out! Have you forgotten?
- Mia Greymane says: Genn... it's Calia. Calia Menethil. Not some mindless Scourge. Let her speak.
- Calia Menethil says: The Forsaken know the Scarlet Crusade better than anyone, King Greymane.
- Calia Menethil says: You have little reason to trust us. But I give you my word, as a Menethil--we only wish to return what rightfully belongs to you.
- Genn Greymane says: Tess... every time I look at them, I see your brother's face. I can't. I am sorry.
- Genn Greymane says: But perhaps you can show me the way.
- Genn Greymane says: What are your orders?
Also in town are Highlord Leoric Von Zeldig leading a squad of 7th Legion Scouts, 7th Legion Infantry, 7th Legion Sharpshooters, and 7th Legion Battlemages. Gilnean forces are Greyguard Elites.
The 7th Legion stands ready to assist with the reclamation of Gilneas. The bulk of our forces are with the main Gilnean Army.
Gilneas will belong to the Gilneans once again.
