The Warcraft 3 Campaign Screenplay Continued

Chapter Two
Ghost Town

It's 9 a.m. already...

If Ormli has joined the party...

Melana Dreamwhisp:
After wandering like fools for days, we've finally reached our destination.

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Blame our tiny Stonehammer for that!

Ormli Stonehammer:
Hey! I was just trying to avoid undead creeps and their camps.

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Fine, fine, dwarven chicken.

Ormli Stonehammer:
Wait a sec!
It's experience not cowardice.

Melana Dreamwhisp:
[Coughs.]
Said the chicken...

Ormli Stonehammer:
Darn fools!
Think whatever you wanna, pals!

If Ormli is missing...

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Here we are, infamous elven Ghost Town!
We've come to free you from your terrible destiny!

Melana Dreamwhisp:
Please stop overreacting, Kyonides.

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Come on, Mel!
We gotta live the moment!

Melana Dreamwhisp:
It's my people's suffering we're talking about, insensitive brute!

Kyonides Arkanthes:
And that's exactly why we gotta look fresh and sound overconfident right now.

Melana Dreamwhisp:
If a mere spoon of hope would ever suffice here...

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Even a hope as big as grain of mustard might be more than enough, my dear ranger.

Melana Dreamwhisp:
OK...

They keep walking down the road when a stranger blocks their path all of sudden.

Introductory Quest - Elven Madness

Meet the Hooded Stranger Event

Hooded Stranger:
Wow! Hold your horses, dear my friends!

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Huh? Who are you hooded stranger?
You surely look like one of those creepy guys we're hunting down.

Melana Dreamwhisp:
Hmph. I also need to know what was he doing here.

Ormli Stonehammer:
And I thought you the best pals ever! Ha, ha!

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Yeah... nope!

Hooded Stranger:
Well, let me introduce myself then.

Melana Dreamwhisp:
Then don't keep me waiting for I've been quite impatient as of late.

The stranger removes his disguise and tosses it away.

Hooded Stranger:
Of course...
I'm Waldo Silverslum, a Paladin of the Black Hand.

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Silverslum you say!?
He, he, he.

Melana Dreamwhisp:
[Chuckles.]

Ormli Stonehammer:
Err, well, hi, mister Paladin.
But whatcha mean by Black Hand?

Waldo Silverslum:
That's a long story, my dwarven friend.
May suffice to say it has to do with Lordaeron's disgraceful fall.

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Understood.
Now can you be so kind as to tell us why you were stalking us like a true pervert, Mister... Slum?

Melana Dreamwhisp:
[Chuckles again.]

Waldo Silverslum:
It's Silverslum...
Anyway, I've come here to find out what's driving blood elves mad.

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Yeah, we've heard a little bit about that...

Ormli Stonehammer:
Ho, ho!
I knew those magic addicted elves would go crazy any time soon.

Melana Dreamwhisp:
Better keep your mouth wide shut, fatty gold digger.

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Blood elves gone bad!?
That might be caused by some unknown magical item...

Melana Dreamwhisp:
Stop it, Kyonides!
Probably they just were poisoned by some bastard orc or undead creep.

Waldo Silverslum:
Then I'd suggest we should go find that out, my friends.

End of Meet the Stranger Event

Optional Quest - The Sage


Young Priest:
Greetings, brave warriors!
May I have a few words with you?

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Good morning, young priest!
What's been troubling your mind as of late?

Adept Sinclair:
I am sorry for distracting you from your duty.
You see I'm the adept Sinclair and am in charge of guiding my people.

Melana Dreamwhisp:
Kyonides, I'm not feeling like staying for long in such a rundown place...

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Shhh!
Let him finish telling his tale, Mel.

Adept Sinclair:
Thank you for listening to me, strangers.
As you may have already noticed, we're a small group of survivors that are trying to start anew under these harsh conditions.

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Sounds... terrible indeed.

Adept Sinclair:
Nevertheless our well respected sage has been missing for two weeks and we have not received any letter nor heard any rumors about his current whereabouts.

Ormli Stonehammer:
Oh well!
Let's hope he didn't get captured by some creeps.

Adept Sinclair:
At this point we fear the worst.
May you aid us by finding out what has happened to him?

Melana Dreamwhisp:
And here's where Kyonides agrees and we get in trouble for the sake of honor and pride alone.

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Alright, Mel. You've convinced me.
Let's get moving, my warriors!

Melana Dreamwhisp:
Darn! What a stupid, hotheaded knight...

Kyonides Arkanthes:
Stop murmuring, Mel!
This is gonna be so much fun!

Melana Dreamwhisp:
Of course, Kyonides...

So whatcha think 'bout it, guys!?
