Beneath the wheeling shadow of the groaning and creaking windsail, Maiden Knight Ysentrud speaks to you in a calm and patient voice:
- I know what you have done. I know you hope to escape. You have strayed greatly from the Path Of Light. Yet it is not too late: renounce the Darkness that you wield with such ease. The Beldame is Beautiful, Merciful and Wise. But I recognise the witch-sword and talisman you have hidden; your Dark Art will not work on me. Surrender these cursed possessions of yours, and the Oath will show you mercy. Think of what your Art could do, for the glory of The Oath! War and slaughter blight this land - where we follow, there is peace. The Song and Wild will never know Peace. Walk in The Light Of The Oath, follow us, join us! Do this for me...
(QM: you know the Maiden-Knight speaks truth. She was amongst the very few that remained unswayed by your dance at the palace. You do not command yet magic powerful enough to use against her. Should you surrender your items, you feel you can still call upon the Song and Wild, but the effects will be harder to control, and the costs and consequences much more severe).
>Surrender your possessions, embrace The Oath And Lightlose: Wandbearer's Wooden Sword, Twice-Spurned Totem Of The Bearded Goddess
Ask:
>But what will happen to Hieronymous Erde, and Dallywhimper? (QM: perhaps you can guess)>Ask about Prince-Provost Aristophontes Gratian>Ask Maiden-Knight Ysentrud about how she came to The Oath And Light. Is she really a maiden?>Tell Maiden-Knight Ysentrud you are on a noble quest to find the Scarred Girl Tamlyn (QM: oh, you have all forgotten about her)>(ask the Maiden Knight another question, write-in)Thinking of Bastich, the way of Lunfardo:
>Just say yes, give her your belongings. You will find a way to steal them back later. Just lie.>(even more devious) I believe that Bastich is an impostor, he was going to have you ambushed here... (inform and report Bastich to Ysentrud)>You are alone. You could literally run away now. Use your power to create a distraction now.QM:I will use this one

>Something else...?
