FormID: 010562A6 1ddGamesDialogue GREETING 0 Hroldir, distinguished General in the service of Sheogorath, at your service.
FormID: 010562A8 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicHroldirGeneral 0 Indeed. I have fought many battles against the dread lord of destruction himself, Mehrunes Dagon!
FormID: 010562A8 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicHroldirGeneral 1 Sure, they call them 'wargames', but they were real! The blood, sweat, feces, all of it!
FormID: 010562A8 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicHroldirGeneral 2 And I led our troops to the bitter end, time and time again!
FormID: 010562AA 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 0 They're not games! Haskill can fill you in... but don't believe him when he says they're games! They're not! And-and I'm a General, too!
FormID: 010562AB 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 0 Ah, I see you've spoken to Hroldir. How fortunate.
FormID: 010562AB 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 1 Lord Sheogorath is indeed one of several Daedric Princes who have entered into an arrangement with Mehrunes Dagon.
FormID: 010562AB 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 2 This arrangement allows our forces to regularly meet in organized battle in order to maintain their combat readiness.
FormID: 010562AB 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 3 Hroldir has been the one to lead our forces as of late, but as you can see, he's getting a little worse for wear.
FormID: 010562AB 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 4 You have proven capable enough to come this far. Perhaps you would be a willing to succeed him?
FormID: 010562AD 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesNo 0 As you wish. Hroldir's performance is slipping as it is, though...
FormID: 010562AF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMore 0 The rules of the Games specify that a Prince may either command his forces remotely, or have a representative attend in person.
FormID: 010562AF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMore 1 Sheogorath prefers to spectate, and allows one of His mortal subjects to lead in His stead. Saints and Seducers play favorites, as you'd imagine.
FormID: 010562AF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMore 2 As leader of His forces, you are responsible for deploying and commanding His troops in a variety of combat scenarios.
FormID: 010562AF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMore 3 In battle, you will be given a limited number of Summoning Points with which to purchase new units, who may be divided into 9 groups.
FormID: 010562AF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMore 4 A portion of the Points spent on surviving units, as well as a portion of any Points remaining, will be presented to you as a monetary reward.
FormID: 010562AF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMore 5 You may, if you're feeling particularly bold, choose to engage the entire enemy battalion by yourself.
FormID: 010562AF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMore 6 The chance to make a fool out of Mehrunes Dagon himself is, in my opinion, well worth the fact that it defeats the purpose of the exercise.
FormID: 010562AF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMore 7 Well, that's the essence of it. Are you willing to take up the position?
FormID: 010562B1 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesYes 0 Excellent. Do you wish to hear further details, or are you eager to begin your first scenario?
FormID: 010562B3 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 0 Your earnings are still waiting for you in the Waters of Oblivion. I'm afraid it is protocol that they be collected before the next game.
FormID: 0105698B 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesNevermind 0 As you wish.
FormID: 0105698C 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfo 0 What do you wish to know?
FormID: 0105698E 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatch 0 Since the previous match went to Dagon, he has chosen Fort Arius as the next battlefield.
FormID: 0105698F 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 0 Do you wish to challenge Lord Dagon to a match, or do you require information?
FormID: 01056991 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatchMania 0 Your goal in this scenario is to defend the Flame of Victory for five minutes. Do you wish to begin?
FormID: 01056993 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatchManiaYes 0 Enter the portal at the end of the throne room. Good luck.
FormID: 0105A03A 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoS 0 Which scenario do you wish to hear about?
FormID: 0105A03E 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoA 0 The units under your command may be divided into three categories: melee, missile, and magic.
FormID: 0105A03E 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoA 1 Further details are recorded in [QUOTE]Forces of the Madgod[QUOTE], of which there are three corresponding volumes. Do you wish to have copies of them?
FormID: 0105A03F 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoR 0 In each scenario, you will be given a moment to purchase any units you require and deploy them as needed.
FormID: 0105A03F 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoR 1 Each unit purchased will drain a number of Summoning Points from your limited repository.
FormID: 0105A03F 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoR 2 You must signal for the battle to begin. Once you do so, the assailing force may advance, and if applicable, the countdown may begin.
FormID: 0105A03F 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoR 3 Should you be victorious, you will receive gold for any units remaining as well as any points unspent.
FormID: 0105A03F 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoR 4 Also, if you've been able to score a number of victories in a row, your surviving units may offer gifts as a token of respect.
FormID: 0105A041 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoE 0 The beings that will rally against you are comprised of many of the kinds of Daedra you may have met in other realms of Oblivion.
FormID: 0105A041 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoE 1 Textual information on their combat abilities is difficult to acquire, I'm afraid. Still, [QUOTE]Darkest Darkness[QUOTE] does provide some insight.
FormID: 0105A042 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSM 0 A once proud structure, now fallen into disrepair after it's architects got bored. That's Mania for you.
FormID: 0105A042 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSM 1 You task will be to protect the Flame of Victory near the center of the fort. Let no foe stand within it, lest it be extinguished in moments.
FormID: 0105A042 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSM 2 There are two entrances to Fort Arius: the main avenue to the North, and a breach in the wall to the North-West.
FormID: 0105A042 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSM 3 Once inside, there are several routes that your opponents may use to breach the temple grounds. It would be wise to explore them prior to combat.
FormID: 0105A71A 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoAYes 0 As you wish. Do try to preserve them.
FormID: 01073A58 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoT 0 Mmm, yes... there are few morsels of wisdom I can impart.
FormID: 01073A5A 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoTEV 0 Though you may encounter all manner of Daedra in a single match, Lord Dagon sometimes emphasises a few varieties over others.
FormID: 01073A5A 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoTEV 1 To take advantage of this, reserve a few Summoning Points to purchase counter units should Dagon place too many eggs in too few baskets.
FormID: 01073A5C 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoTAS 0 Not all of Lord Dagon's forces will be at the front line. Some will be held in reserve to reinforce faltering defenses.
FormID: 01073A5C 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoTAS 1 A swift decimation of one of his peripheral squads may cause him to overreact, leaving an opening for your true attack force.
FormID: 01073A5C 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoTAS 2 Such a maneuver must be swift, or your forces may be surrounded when his are repositioned.
FormID: 0107B76B 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatchO1 0 The objective here will be to capture and extinguish the Pillar of Despair within seven minutes. Care to begin?
FormID: 0107B76D 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatchO1Yes 0 Enter the portal at the end of the throne room. Good luck.
FormID: 0107B76E 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatch 0 Since our realm was last victorious, the choice lies with you.
FormID: 0107E787 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 0 Lord Dagon has demanded a game with you. Will you accept, or do you first require information?
FormID: 0108257B 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSO1 0 Formerly a center for the... 'abuse' of mortal prisoners. It was abandoned when volcanic activity caused much of it to collapse.
FormID: 0108257B 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSO1 1 To secure the Quarry, you or one of your units must stand within the Pillar of Despair for up to ten seconds. Fear not, it doesn't actually burn.
FormID: 0108257B 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSO1 2 The direct route is located to the West and splits into a Western and central path. Be aware that conflict on one path may alert sentries on other.
FormID: 0108257B 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSO1 3 A more hidden route lies to the East, recently opened by errant lava flow. Dagon is aware of this, and will have it guarded as well.
FormID: 0108EC97 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatch 0 Since the previous match went to Dagon, he has chosen the Red Quarry as the next battlefield.
FormID: 01090EE9 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargames 0 Do you require any information before you embark?
FormID: 01091CA5 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptions 0 I'm afraid your authority is limited to the battlefield. Only Lord Sheogorath Himself may control the higher aspects of the games.
FormID: 01091CA6 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptions 0 What aspect of the games do you wish to manage, my Lord?
FormID: 01091CA8 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsB 0 In boasting of your realm's prowess, you may influence the amount of resources your enemies will allocate. How great will your boast be?
FormID: 01091CAF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsB0 0 Your enemies will see you as an inferior opponent, and will be more frugal in constructing their forces.
FormID: 01091CB0 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsB1 0 Your enemies will treat you as they did your predecessor.
FormID: 01091CB1 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsB2 0 Your enemies will rise to your challenge, and amass a greater number of troops.
FormID: 01091CB2 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsB3 0 Your attack on your enemies' pride will cause their ranks to swell drastically.
FormID: 01091CB3 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsB4 0 In speaking of conquest, your enemies will approach scenarios as if they are actual theatres of war.
FormID: 01091CB4 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsB5 0 The gloves are, as they say, off. Your enemies will send whatever forces they can spare to the front.
FormID: 01091CB6 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsF 0 You may divert more of the Isles' resources to the games, and thus increase your initial Summoning Points. What shall be your budget?
FormID: 01091CBD 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsF0 0 As you wish. Should you still be victorious, your reward will be substantially increased.
FormID: 01091CBE 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsF1 0 As you wish. Your allocated funds will be set to your predecessor's preference.
FormID: 01091CBF 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsF2 0 As you wish, though your reward will be somewhat reduced.
FormID: 01091CC0 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsF3 0 As you wish, though your reward will be substantially reduced.
FormID: 01091CC1 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsF4 0 As you wish, though your reward will be greatly reduced.
FormID: 01091CC2 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesOptionsF5 0 As you wish, though your reward will be rather small.
FormID: 010B87A2 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatchDementia 0 Kill, and do not be killed. Simple. Do you wish to proceed?
FormID: 010B87A3 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatchDementiaYes 0 Enter the portal at the end of the throne room. Good luck.
FormID: 010B8E88 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesMatch 0 Since the previous match went to Dagon, he has chosen Xedilian as the next battlefield.
FormID: 010BB0DE 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSD 0 Part of an automated processing system used to maintain the large quantities of dead and undead within Xedilian.
FormID: 010BB0DE 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSD 1 Normally isolated from the rest of the complex, the chamber is vacant save for openings in the ceiling and floor through which corpses cascade.
FormID: 010BB0DE 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSD 2 Should any of these corpses be diverted from their path, they will eventually rise and do battle with the first creature they see.
FormID: 010BB0DE 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoSD 3 And I don't need to tell you that stumbling into the pits would be... quite fatal.
FormID: 010CDF12 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoC 0 If you are able to build a significant winning streak, Mehrunes Dagon may choose to send some of his mortal followers to the field.
FormID: 010CDF12 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoC 1 He may deploy them without diminishing his Daedric forces, but they are considerably more difficult to replace should they perish.
FormID: 010CDF12 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoC 2 Furthermore, their equipment is forfeit to you if they are slain. Thus he will risk sending only those who are roughly on par with your skills.
FormID: 010CDF12 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoC 3 Persist in your victories though, and their numbers will swell. Dagon's pride will stand to suffer no humiliation by the House of Madness.
FormID: 010CDF12 1ddGamesDialogue 1ddTopicWargamesInfoC 4 His followers are many, and eventually the odds will be insurmountable. When the time comes, feel no shame in appeasing him.
