ANOTHER
KEVIN
What did you say?
ORA
There’s a Prophecy etched onto the
gates! Maybe the Prophecy.
FORMOSA
I don’t know how much longer I can
hold them off alone. They may not
be able to get into the light, but
they’ve certainly figured out that
they can throw spears at us.
KEVIN
...and rocks!
ORA
The script is...is so ornate, it’s
hard to read.
KEVIN
Well try!
ORA
Uhmm...alright,...uh...”Hail to
you, hail to thee all hail,
To trust words written not seen
before”
KEVIN
Ahhh!
Faster, Ora! Gotta’ read faster!
ORA
“Be Dreams
So close, shade the living on now,
twig by limb” Or “Lamb?” No, it’s
definitely “limb.” Limb!
KEVIN
At least Karras and Elizabeth must
still be okay if they're still
setting off the sticks.
FORMOSA
(shouting)
Take cover!!
KEVIN
What?!
(MORE)
FORMOSA
Arrows!!
KEVIN
OH NO!! ORA, LOOK OUT!!
Using a corpse as a shield,
Formosa? I’m...impressed. Nauseous,
but impressed.
ORA
Half of winning a fight is
improvisation.
FORMOSA
And the other half is strength.
Ora, they're not stopping, they’re
only figuring out new strategies
and more are coming. If we don't
leave soon, we never will.
ORA
I have to understand this Prophecy.
It’s gotta’ be the key.
FORMOSA
Then hurry.
ORA
“Not knowing, this stops no dream
Nature Moves
Body survives time”
RISEN
AAAAAAAAAA
FORMOSA
Look OUT!!
KEVIN
Ugh! Thats disgusting!! I hope they
don't do that again.
FORMOSA
It’s easier to dodge a falling
corpse than a thrown spear.
KEVIN
But much less appealing. And
falling dead can still crush us.
ORA
Only a few more lines, but that
riser got blood everywhere. I
can’t... I can barely read It.
ORA (CONT'D)
Guh...“Lead by cold hearts...” Ugh,
I can’t read the rest!
FORMOSA
One of the undead corrupted is
scaling the cliffs.
KEVIN
Good news, it’s dead so It can’t
get in the lantern light.
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
Bad news, it’s drool is corrosive
and melting the rocks.
FORMOSA
We have to go.
ORA
I can’t read the words through the
blood!
KEVIN
We have to run! We’re overrun and
the corrupted is almost on us.
ORA
Not yet! Not until I understand
this last line!
KEVIN
We have no time!!
ORA
One more minute!
FORMOSA
We don't have another minute!
ORA
I see “Be Land” in there, but...
but the blood is covering the rest.
FORMOSA
Ora!
KEVIN
For land’s sake, it’s,
“Thee should see worth.
Be Land, world, for thee self
The one alone no more
Welcome”
ORA
You can read?!
KEVIN
Talk later, run now.
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
KEVIN
Big as a horse. Rabbit legs. Three
heads. Has spit that melts rock.
And it’s already dead. Why can’t
these things be easier to kill?
ORA
Duck!
If that hits us, we’re done.
KEVIN
Formosa, are you going to save this
monster, too?
FORMOSA
I’ll save It from being an undead
abomination by killing It.
RISEN
(Growl)
ORA
AAAHHHH!
FORMOSA
You alright?
ORA
Uh-huh...just be careful when you
dodge! Don't leave the light!
KEVIN
Formosa take the light! WATCH OUT!!
AAAA, AAAA, AAAA!!!!
ORA
Drop the shield!!!
KEVIN
That stuff is no joke!
FORMOSA
Are you okay?
KEVIN
I think so...It didn’t get me, just
the shield...
ORA
Nice work.
FORMOSA
It’s fast!
ORA
We have to keep running.
KEVIN
It looks like the dead are falling
back!!
ORA
I think thats just ‘cause they are
avoiding the evil, death-causing
spit aimed at us!
KEVIN
Well...bright side?
FORMOSA
Look there! The blast! It’s purple.
That only leaves blue. We have
to...AAAAAAAA!
ORA
Formosa!! Kevin, grab the light!
KEVIN
What happened?!
ORA
A knife hit Formosa!
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
FORMOSA
UGH! I’m Okay...It was just my
shoulder. I can still hold my axe.
We’ve got to keep moving
KEVIN
How is an undead Lusus Naturae
smart enough to block the road? The
lantern will take care of
this...Ahhh...
...if I could just get close...
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
KEVIN
...which doesn’t seem likely.
ORA
It slows down when its preparing to
spit and leaves its mouths open for
a moment.
FORMOSA
That’s practically an invitation.
And look...
...I have a throwing dagger ready
to go.
ORA
Don’t miss!
FORMOSA
I won’t.
KEVIN
Spread out! The other dead are
staying back. That way he can’t
attack us all at once, it’ll give
you a better chance!
ORA
Just watch out because Kevin’ll be
the only one protected by the
lantern.
FORMOSA
I know, I’ll watch.
ORA
GO!
FORMOSA
Wait for It!
KEVIN
It’s confused...
Oh crap...
ORA
Kevin, it’s coming for you!!
KEVIN
Yes, I can see that...
FORMOSA
Wait for It!
KEVIN
Umm...Formosa...?
FORMOSA
It’s almost ready....
ORA
NOW!!
FORMOSA
UGH!
ORA
YES!!
KEVIN
HA. NICE SHOT!!
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Growl)
KEVIN
HEY!!! Did It...did It just swallow
the knife?
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
KEVIN
WHAT IS GOING ON?! THAT’S NOT
FAIR!!
ORA
Everyone back to the light!!
FORMOSA
IT’S SPITTING AGAIN!
ORA
SCATTER!!
FORMOSA
WATCH THE CLIFFS!!
ORA
AAAAAAHHHHHH!
KEVIN
Ora!
ORA
Ahh...uh....
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
KEVIN
Here.
ORA
I’m okay. My back’s only a little
hurt.
KEVIN
“Only a little.” I can see It!
That’s not a little.
ORA
Kevin, let’s discuss my new badass
scar...
KEVIN
Your hair! It’s burning, too!!
ORA
What?! Ahhhh!
KEVIN
Don’t touch It! Give me your
sword!! UGH!
ORA
You get It?!
KEVIN
Yes, I think so. Part of your head
might be cold now...are you...?
ORA
We can discuss how I am when we
talk about your sudden ability to
read: later.
FORMOSA
Good idea. Because here It comes
again, and I don't think standing
in a group is our best plan.
ORA
Scatter!
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
KEVIN
HA! MISSED!!
WOOOAAAHHHH!
FORMOSA
I SAID WATCH THE CLIFFS!!
KEVIN
THANKS! I see It now!!
Help!
ORA
Hold on, Kevin!
FORMOSA
And don't let go of the lantern!
ORA
I got Kevin. Formosa, distract It.
FORMOSA
On It.
Eat rock!
ORA
Give me your hand!
KEVIN
Thanks. That was close.
FORMOSA
That was the Blue one! They are out
of sticks!
KEVIN
The stick! We can use our storm
stick!
ORA
But if we use It now, Karras and
Elizabeth wont know when to return
and help.
FORMOSA
If we don't use It now, we’ll be
dead.
ORA
Can you hit the stick if I toss It
down it’s throat?
FORMOSA
With my axe? Easy.
KEVIN
For you, maybe.
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar in pain)
KEVIN
Well, I guess that’s as good a
signal as any.
FORMOSA
Stop talking and start running.
ORA
How are there even more of them?
FORMOSA
They’re regrouping, they must have
realized other explosions were just
distractions.
KEVIN
That’s not good...
ORA
Halfway there!
KEVIN
Ther... There’s so many of them.
Even if the light stops them, it’s
like going through a wall.
FORMOSA
I think there are even more dead
coming back from going after
Karras! Look to the right! There
are two more Lusus Naturae coming
for us.
KEVIN
Not to mention the swarm of dead
behind them!
FORMOSA
Do you think that Elizabeth and
Karras...
ORA
If we can just get to the forest...
FORMOSA
Be prepared to go through them.
KEVIN
What should I do? What should I
do?!
ORA
Shut up and keep running. They seem
to have thrown most of their arrows
and knives. We just have to outrun
them!
ORA (CONT'D)
Keep going!
KEVIN
Where? I can barely move! There,
there are too many dead, it’s too
steep.
FORMOSA
Even if Karras and Elizabeth saw
our signal, they wont be able to
reach us in time. And... And even
if they could, they wouldn't be
able to make It through this horde.
Too many, it’s just too many...
At least I’ll see my family again.
ORA
Again, I failed you again.
I’m sorry, Kevin.
KEVIN
Ora, I...
RISEN
(Scream in Pain)
FORMOSA
WHAT WAS THAT?!
ORA
What...what is happening?!
KEVIN
Haha!! I don’t know!! But if
Elizabeth was holding out on us
again...
GALEN
He he he he he! Weeeeeee!
FORMOSA
Galen?!
GALEN
Oooo, Where, where??!
FORMOSA
You!
GALEN
Oh...yes! It’s me!!
KEVIN
You actually came to help?
GALEN
A Guardian acting like a Guardian!
Hahahaha.
FORMOSA
Galen watch out! The corrupted!!
DEAD LUSUS NATURAE
(Roar)
GALEN
Oooooh! That was close...
KEVIN
Blast It!
GALEN
My magic doesn’t work like that!
KEVIN
WHAT?!
GALEN
It’s too low! But I have an idea...
KEVIN
What?!
GALEN
RUN AWAY!!
This way!
ORA
He’s clearing a path for us! We can
make It. RUN!
GALEN
(Laughing)
Hide in the trees! I’ll find you
there.
ORA
We made It.
KEVIN
The dead are still after us, let’s
not say we made It until we’ve
actually lost them in the forest.
FORMOSA
This way.
KEVIN
I think...I think we’re losing
them!
FORMOSA
Keep going!
KEVIN
AHHHH!
FORMOSA
Kevin!! The Lantern.
RISEN
(Roar)
ORA
NO!!
RISEN
(Pain Sound)
FORMOSA
I...I think that’s It...
ORA
I...that was...
KEVIN
Ha! Karras! Talk about great
timing!! Get out here buddy! You
get a hug!!
VORLAUF
I think I’ll pass on that...
We meet again.
ORA
Vorlauf.
ANN
Aw. You remembered him.
ORA
Are you here to fight?
VORLAUF
No. Not now.
ORA
How can I trust you?
VORLAUF
I’m a man of my word.
FORMOSA
Fairly poor evidence of that.
ANN
Oh please! There are three of us
who fight. And two of you who even
have weapons; one who is bleeding
from the arm, one who can barely
stand, bleeding from the
back...with a lopsided haircut. And
then this third fellow...carrying a
lantern in the middle of the day...
LINUS
Seems like you might want to trust
us...
KEVIN
Forget trust, we have to go. Those
risen could still be after us.
LINUS
I don’t see anything behind you.
ORA
Are you crazy? The dead are after
us! They’ll be coming this way!
KEVIN
Where...where’s the path?
FORMOSA
The forest. It’s protecting us, but
we have to move, the forest’s power
is stronger in the deep woods.
Come.
ANN
Vorlauf?
VORLAUF
Follow her.
(MORE)
ORA
Don’t worry...we’re right behind
you.
ANN
That doesn’t make me less
worried...
ORA
There! Happy now?!
ANN
Oh...Ecstatic.
FORMOSA
Well...We’re here. Karras and
Elizabeth know to meet us here...if
they can... I think, I hope, the
forest will keep those abominations
from finding us. Hopefully Galen
will be able see us from the sky.
VORLAUF
Karras, Elizabeth, and Galen.
ORA
Why are you here?
ANN
Is she always so rude to guests?
LINUS
I feel positively unwelcome.
ORA
How did you find us?
VORLAUF
You were quite loud.
ORA
But-
VORLAUF
I tracked you to kill you. But I’ve
reconsidered.
ORA
So you wanted to kill me and now
you don’t?
VORLAUF
Unexpectedly, we share a common
foe.
VORLAUF (CONT'D)
We watched you and
your...companions...make a quite
ill advised run and the dead
clearly didn’t follow your
commands.
KEVIN
You could have helped us when we
were trying to come back.
VORLAUF
This is not my first time facing
the dead...you have a useful tool
that destroys them. I do not. And I
am not suicidal. Besides, we only
reached the forest’s edge a few
moments before that winged atrocity
set fire to the dead.
ORA
So what? You don't want to kill us?
You want to be allies?
VORLAUF
For now.
ORA
How do I know you won’t betray me?
VORLAUF
We’re here to protect the land. I
don't know what is happening, but I
don’t see how killing you right now
would do that...and I’m not craven
enough to stab someone in the back.
Although, once the dead are gone...
KEVIN
Now that’s the type of speech that
makes me really want to trust you.
ORA
Swear on whatever you hold dearest
that you and your companions will
not hurt me or my companions until
three nights after all the risen
are taken care of.
ANN
Why three nights?
VORLAUF
To give them time to flee.
KEVIN
I don't like this.
ORA
We need all the allies we can get
before we try again.
KEVIN
Try again?
VORLAUF
Very well. I’ll swear if you swear.
ORA
I swear on Godrick’s name that none
of us will hurt you or your
companions until three nights after
all the risen are taken care of.
VORLAUF
And I swear on Diana’s name no
Vigile will hurt you or your
companions until three nights after
all the undead are taken care of.
FORMOSA
Who’s Diana?
ANN
You don’t need to know...but It
means more than your “Godrick.”
KEVIN
How dare...
ORA
Kevin! Stop. I accept It. Ugh...
FORMOSA
Ora! Let me help you.
ORA
I’m okay...I...I just need to sit
down...
VORLAUF
Linus, get some bandages out of the
bags and help them.
LINUS
Yes sir.
ELIZABETH
(Laughing)
KARRAS
You’re alive!
KEVIN
Not for long if you keep hugging me
like this.
ELIZABETH
You stupid oaf, help me down!
KARRAS
Sorry, sorry!
ELIZABETH
Ah, thank you! NOW! Who are they?
VORLAUF
Elizabeth and Galen, I presume. Or
is It Karras?
ORA
They’re Vigiles, but they’re
friends at the moment.
ANN
Temporarily allies.
KARRAS
(Grunts.)
GALEN
Weee hehe WOOOOO!
LINUS
What...what is that?!
Vor...AAAAAAA!
ORA
Stop! He’s my companion.
VORLAUF
This is a companion?
ANN
I don’t believe It!
GALEN
And what are you?
VORLAUF
I am Vorlauf.
GALEN
Hmmm...awfully short for a
Vigile...
VORLAUF
(Grunts)
ORA
You vowed.
VORLAUF
Yes...I recall. If he is your
companion, then...
ORA
Galen, I can’t thank you enough.
GALEN
I...Thought maybe I was too hasty
in chasing you out. I didn’t even
give you any snacks. And you freed
me. I remember you freed me.
ORA
You saved us.
GALEN
Guardians guard.
VORLAUF
Guardian...?
KEVIN
Galen, I really do want to thank
you, but first we have to let Ora
rest. She’s losing a lot of blood.
GALEN
Ugh. Is...a... that your blood?
It smells like your blood. I think
it’s your blood.
ORA
My back got a little hurt.
GALEN
Hum....Doesn’t seem like a little.
hu...I can maybe heal It. A tiny
spell, you know, just...just to
stop the bleeding.
LINUS
Spell? No!
KEVIN
Oh, shut up...
ANN
Ha ha!
ORA
Can they track It?
GALEN
I think there’s little chance
someone doesn’t know where we
are...not after all that. But, it’s
just a small spell, no less chance.
Just a small spell; but It will
leave scars.
ORA
I’m fine with scars.
GALEN
Good. Good. I’m just going to place
my hands on the wounds.
ORA
Ahhh...Guuuu....Thank you. That’s a
lot better.
VORLAUF
It’s repulsive.
GALEN
It’s just some scars.
VORLAUF
The scars aren't revolting, it’s
your magic.
ORA
What matters is that I can swing my
sword without much pain.
KEVIN
Are you really thinking of fighting
so soon?
KARRAS
Formosa! Are you bleeding, too!
FORMOSA
I’m fine.
KARRAS
Galen! Fix her.
(MORE)
FORMOSA
NO! I will heal.
VORLAUF
Smart woman.
FORMOSA
I have no fear of the magic as you
do. I do not reject It because of
what It is. I reject It because of
who I am. I know the difference.
VORLAUF
Hmmm...
KEVIN
Ora, seriously, what are you
thinking?
ORA
Their numbers are down. And when
else will we get another chance at
this?
FORMOSA
And what about that new Prophecy?
KARRAS
What new Prophecy?
ORA
There was a Prophecy etched on the
doors.
VORLAUF
What did It say?
If you can’t trust me with this,
will you trust me to have your
back?
ORA
Fine.
“Hail to you, hail to thee all hail
To trust words written not seen
before
Be Dreams
So close, shade the living on now,
twig by limb
Not knowing, this stops no dream
Nature Moves
Body survives time
Lead by cold hearts
Thee should see worth.
Be Land, world, for thee self.
ORA (CONT'D)
The one alone no more.
Welcome”
ELIZABETH
Hmmm...that changes some things.
KEVIN
It’s even more vague than the other
versions.
VORLAUF
Hm.
IVAN
Magic....
GALEN
No!...
IVAN
Hahahaha...somebody was using
magic!!
ORA
Where’s that voice coming from?
ELIZABETH
Magic.
GALEN
No!
IVAN
We can always sense It!
KEVIN
(annoyed)
Of course.
VORLAUF
(disgusted)
Of course.
KEVIN
Let us never agree on anything else
again.
GALEN
No...no..., no no no no no no no
no...
ELIZABETH
What...what is It?!
GALEN
Not, Not, Not Not. Not what! Who!!
ELIZABETH
Okay, who is...? You know that
voice...
GALEN
It was one of the last voices I
heard inside Carcerem...
ORA
He can’t find us in the forest,
right?
GALEN
Oh no, no, no no no no no. Well,
probably not. Maybe, maybe,
maybe... Oh I hope not.
