Confronting Sir Neew

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

Sir Neew
Princess… Have you an update from Empress Ardath?
News that Lord Branwarden perished by my true love’s hand, no doubt? 

Luna
You should have heard the noises from their chambers…

Sir Neew
Excellent!

Luna
Screams of death were not among them.

Sir Neew
What?! How COULD she? I am betrayed!

Luna
Not betrayed, Sir Neew. Tested.

Sir Neew
Explain.

Luna
Ardath clearly loves you for your bloodlust. Your delight in the kill.

Sir Neew
It is quite the hobby, yes.

Luna
Do you really think she would deny you the most important kill of all?

Sir Neew
It IS a test. Not as much of my actual ability as my willingness to prove my love.
Rest assured—my love will be proven.

Sir Neew
In fact, that bloodlust consumes me—right now!

Sir Neew
Care to help me with that?  ​​

If Player Chooses to Leave...
Luna
Ehh… Maybe tomorrow. 

Gobbo
But Luna men want fight now!

Sir Neew
Your stupid imp is growing on me. Besides…I cannot do tomorrow.

Sir Neew
Very important meeting with my chiropractor. Scoliosis treatments…

Luna
Should the mood strike me, a crooked backbone is going to be the least of your worries. 

Gobbo
Gobbo still not sure why Luna need to wait.

Sir Neew
Yes, while my spine may indeed lack straightness…

Sir Neew
At least I have one.
[This decision results in lowered Morale for Luna's troops.]

If Luna chooses not to engage with Sir Neew at any point, she will eventually need to...

Confront Lord Branwarden
If Player Chooses to Attack...
Luna
Understand… If you fight me now, Gobbo here WILL take it personally.
[Gobbo is a goofy small demon who is basically Luna's sidekick.]


Luna
He’ll demand we take down your whole army, however splintered throughout the Kingdom they may be.

Gobbo
Huh? Gobbo not recall saying that.

Sir Neew
Oh, but I do see the unbridled rage in your eyes, imp.

Sir Neew
And I like it!

Luna
Then it looks like you’ve got two wars on your hands now.

Sir Neew
For Ardath!

Luna
Yeah. Something like that.

[The battle commences. Luna wins.]

​Luna
How’s that bloodlust feeling now? As a loser? 

Sir Neew
Only bloodlustier!
Challenge my other units! I dare you!

Luna
Is it fair to “challenge” someone when their best efforts offer no challenge in return? 

Sir Neew
Aw, but they dooooooooooooo!

Luna
For a bloodthirsty warlord, you sure do whine a lot.
Try not to suck so much next time.

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

Luna Helps Sir Branwarden's Side Win
Luna
If you were looking to impress Ardath…you kinda blew it, dude.

Sir Neew
You have taken my pride…and my army!

Lord Branwarden
I thank you, vampire princess. You made this too easy.
Remind me never to get on your bad side!

Luna
Nah… I’d rather not.

Empress Ardath
Hello, Newton.

Sir Neew
My lady! Only those who truly know me call me by my first name.

Empress Ardath
Or those who were playing you the whole time.

Sir Neew
Played? Me? You mean, you really… With him?!

Empress Ardath
I really… With him.

Sir Neew
I am ruined. And this is all YOUR fault, princess!
Meet me at the Gloomy Goat. We shall settle this once and for all.

Lord Branwarden
Why not here? And now?

Gobbo
Gobbo want blood!!!

Luna
Y’know, I’d actually like to see him fight under the influence.

Sir Neew
It will not stop me from humiliating you. In front of your father.

Luna
Fun plan! Bring all your troops. Oh, wait…

Luna
You can’t. BECAUSE I KILLED THEM ALL.

Sir Neew
Yeah, but… Grrrrrrr…
