Confronting Lord Branwarden's Crown Knights

Note: For the purpose of web-design simplicity, both choices are included on this page.

Professor Noblehorn
I sense hostility in you, princess. You aim to attack these men.

Luna
Well, of course I aim to attack these men!

Gobbo
More souls, more healthy Deadrealm! Hoo-wah-hoo-hoo!

Professor Noblehorn
Think this through, princess…

Professor Noblehorn
Reserve your attacks for Neew’s side.

Professor Noblehorn
He is pure evil. The Spirit Drill will be busy for days with he alone.

Gobbo
Gobbo want blood now!
What Luna do? What Luna do?

If Player Chooses to Leave These Troops Alone...
Professor Noblehorn
You have made the proper decision, princess.

Luna
Full-time scientist, part-time military adviser, eh, doc?

Professor Noblehorn
My advice will pay off in the long run. Trust me.

Gobbo
Gobbo not so sure about that…

If you have not confronted Sir Neew's Forces yet, then
Confront Sir Neew's Forces

Luna Stays Neutral
If Player Chooses to Attack...
Captain Einhorn
Well, now. If it isn’t the vampire princess I’ve heard so much about.

Luna
Only bad things, I hope.

Captain Einhorn
Ha ha! She’s funny.
A little laughter is good for the soul these days, indeed.

Luna
And a little soul is good for the Brimstone Layer.

Captain Einhorn
Ha ha ha! 
I don’t get it.

Luna
It means I’m attacking you, dude.

Captain Einhorn
Attacking?! I don’t under--

Luna
Say some prayers or whatever it is you do over here.

Captain Einhorn
I’m actually an atheist.

Luna
Whatever. Just please summon as many living souls as you can so that I can properly end their lives.

Captain Einhorn
Crown Knights! To arms!

[GAMEPLAY: Luna wins the battle.]

Ghost Captain Einhorn
Rarely am I ever so truly wrong.
There is absolutely no humor in what you bring our way, vamp.

Luna
And that’s what I find so damned entertaining. 
Speaking of damned…

Morzhul
[Contextual Note: Morzhul is the Grim Reaper.]
You rang?

Ghost Captain Einhorn
Lord Branwarden will defeat you! Just as soon as he’s done with Neew!

Morzhul
I will drag you to hell.

Ghost Captain Einhorn
No you won’t. There’s no such thing as hell!

Luna
We call it the Deadrealm…so you’re technically right.
How about giving him a personal tour, Morzy?

Morzhul
My pleasure. More, please.

From here, the player can still Confront Sir Neew's Forces, ensure that Neither Side Wins, and/or see to it that...

Luna Helps Sir Neew's Side Win
Luna
Can’t say I really meant to play favorites there, Neew.
But hey—I just won a war for you.

Sir Neew
Yes… Yes… YES!!!
Lord Branwarden’s forces, vanquished.
His lands now fully in my grasp.
And most importantly—his bride. Soon to me MY bride.

Empress Ardath
Newton!

Sir Neew
Now, now, love. My first name is our little secret…

Empress Ardath
You’ve ruined everything! This was not part of the plan!

Sir Neew
You were supposed to slay him on your wedding night, true. But that’s more on you, is it not?

Empress Ardath
You IDIOT! I never loved you!
You were but a pawn in a plot to play my part in assisting my homeland.
You wanted death, Luna?! You got it!
And you betrayed me by choosing the wrong side!

Luna
Wait… You actually love this dude?

Lord Branwarden
What makes you believe she wouldn’t?

Luna
Other than being completely out of character for the Succubus Supreme?...
Gotta say… Sir Neew’s a little cuter.

Sir Neew
Flattery will not save you, princess. Your army will be routed by my own hand!

Luna
See what I mean? Adorable!

Luna
Super-cute challenge accepted.

(GAMEPLAY: Luna proceeds to defeat Sir Neew's forces.)

Sir Neew
You’d think losing my army and lands would be the worst of it, vampire princess.
But alas, the love of my life says she was using me.
Playing me.
Destroying me from within.
All to save your precious Deadrealm.

Luna
Yep. Checks out.

Sir Neew
Meet me at the Gloomy Goat.

Luna
Huh?

Sir Neew
Your father will be there, will he not?

Luna
So long as there’s still something to drink.

Sir Neew
Then that is where I will destroy you. Once and for all.

Luna
In front of Dad, huh?
Fun plan! Bring all your troops. Oh, wait…
You can’t. BECAUSE I KILLED THEM ALL.

Sir Neew
Yeah, but… Grrrrrrr…
