+ The Marshal of the Guard orders his men to confiscate \r\8a all of your weapons and equipment. Then he marches you \r\8a and Karvas under close escort to the cells below the \r\8a main hall, where you are shackled to the wall in \r\8a irons. Karvas is shocked by this brutal treatment and \r\8a he cannot fathom a reason why Lodamos would treat you \r\8a both this way. \r
+ \r
+ An hour passes before the door to the cell is thrown \r\8a open and in strides Baron Lodamos, escorted by a \r\8a bodyguard of his toughest men at arms. Prince Karvas \r\8a pleads for your immediate release, but his pleas fall \r\8a on deaf ears.\r
+ "Do you not recognise me, my lord?" he asks. "Do you \r\8a not remember the days we spent hunting wild boar in \r\8a the Ioma Forest?"\r
+ "The resemblance is uncanny, I grant you that," \r\8a replies Lodamos, "but you are another impostor, \r\8a another of Sadanzo's sorcerous creations sent here to \r\8a assassinate me."\r
+ The Baron holds up the Stone Dagger that was found in \r\8a your backpack. \r
+ \r
+ "You have a persuasive tongue," he says, "but here I \r\8a hold proof that you are assassins. This evil blade is \r\8a the instrument with which you intended to slay me. \r\8a See, it is already stained with the blood of those you \r\8a have slain before. No goodly men would carry such a \r\8a weapon for their own defence."\r
+ \r
+ Desperately you try to explain how the Stone Dagger \r\8a came into your possession, how you discovered it in \r\8a the hut in the Dammerdon Mountains. Unfortunately your \r\8a hurried explanation does little to help. Baron Lodamos \r\8a has already made up his mind that you are assassins in \r\8a the pay of Baron Sadanzo, sent here to murder him, and \r\8a he will not be convinced otherwise.\r
+ \r
+ The Baron turns to the sergeant of his bodyguard and \r\8a orders him to have his men prepare their weapons. A \r\8a cold shiver runs down your spine when you see that \r\8a these men at arms are equipped with crossbows that are \r\8a cocked and loaded ready to fire. The sergeant gives \r\8a the order. The guards raise their bows and take aim. \r\8a Prince Karvas begs the Baron to reconsider but it is \r\8a now too late. Lodamos hurls the Stone Dagger to the \r\8a floor, smashing it to pieces, and then he spins on his \r\8a heel and strides out of the cell without looking back. \r\8a With a grunt, his sergeant gives the order to fire and \r\8a his men release their volley of deadly missiles. Death \r\8a is mercifully swift.\r
+\r
+ Tragically, your life and your mission end here in the \r\8a dungeons of the Varedo Citadel.\r
