After Gillaume delivering ill news of a sudden Falx assault, Pizzaro, Isabella and Gallikronn make haste to halt the army before it could move deeper into Imperial territory.
Pizzaro: 'Faster! We might be able to use the nearby garrison before they...'
Pizzaro: '... break through.'
Isabella: 'They completely leveled it! Only one commander can be so brutal...'
Isabella+Pizzaro: 'ESTEBAN!?'
Gallikronn: 'Who is Esteban?'
Isabella: 'He's nothing but a low-ranking brute... that nutcase Torquemada promotes anyone nowadays!'
Pizzaro: 'Thankfully, his incompetence should balance out his advantage in troop numbers.'
The Iron Jarl: 'What are the odds, to run into you turncoats again.'
Pizzaro: 'Who is this wight? As far as I recall we did not meet any ghouls before!'
The Iron Jarl: 'You may have not, but the sorceress has. Her cooperation with my ally, Gurak, turned out most fortunate.'
Gallikronn: 'Is this true Isabella? You were working in league with the undead?'
Isabella: 'Indeed I have. We both benefit from sabotaging Torquemada, and we currently have no quarrels with each other. We should do the same right now, given how we're outnumbered.'
Gallikronn: 'But the undead cannot be trusted! I'm strongly against this idea. What do you say, Pizzaro?'
Pizzaro: 'Honestly, Isabella's right. The enemy of our enemy is our friend.'
Gallikronn: 'GAH! By the scales of the great wyrm, this is absurd!'
The Iron Jarl: 'Your bickering, while amusing, is also a waste of air. I'm not against allying though. The bigger the battle, the greater the glory I can accomplish.'
The Iron Jarl: 'What puzzles me though, is how were the invaders able to break through without any proper siege equipment?'
*Thunder roars over the battlefield as a giant shape darts through the clouds*
Aetheros: 'TREMBLE MORTALS AND DESPAIR! THE STORM OF RECKONING HAS COME!'
Isabella: 'That answers it.'
Isabella: 'The old man was right, this whole attack was to provoke a retaliation that would run straight into this wretched beast's gullet!'
Gallikronn: 'Quick Isabella, follow me! I have a plan!'
The Iron Jarl: 'Magnificent! A battle for the ages, one that tests the mettle of a true warlord!'
Pizzaro: 'I have to admit, I fought many campaigns on many worlds, but I've yet to face anything-'
*Gallikronn swoops in, transformed to his dragon form, with Isabella attempting to not fall off his back*
Pizzaro: '- like this!'
Isabella: 'This is the worst plan I ever been a part of!'
Gallikronn: 'Aetheros could easily annihilate our troops by himself; we need to distract him somehow!'
Aetheros: 'AMUSING LITTLE MORSELS, YOU BELIEVE YOU COULD HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST MY UNMATCHED FURY. FAIR ENOUGH; LET BATTLE BE JOINED!'
