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