-'''Guard Leader:''' Halt! Friend or foe? Give the password.
+The last of Mordak's servants arrived this morning bearing the news of his death, as well as a bundle so well-bound it was barely recognizable as a man. Mordak was always reckless. This whole desperate scheme was his, and I suppose I could blame him for everything that we've suffered through if it still mattered. It was he who brought the wrath of the orcs down on us, too. But all the same, he managed to accomplish what he set out to do. I still can't believe the finality of what's happened; until now we'd always managed to make it through somehow.
-'''Arvith:''' The password is ----.
+We'd hoped to deliver the mage to Tairach in return for our lives. I don't know what the Warlord wants with this man, but he matches the description. I suppose that Mordak's plan would've worked perfectly if not for the appearance of the horse warriors. Now they're coming here, led by a man rumoured to be this mage's brother. If that's true, he'll stop at nothing, no more than would I if they held Mordak.
-'''Guard Leader:''' Pass friend.
+I've done what I can to fortify this dilapidated castle. The orcs who came with us stand guard at the gates, and I'm gathering all of my servants to me in the inner sanctum. But ill fate awaits. Whether I defeat this horse-warrior or no, the orcs will still come for me; they've been scouring the borderlands and raiding the northern farm country in search of us.

+=== Story Text ===
-The pursuit had already run for several days when the pursuers came to the bounds of the huge forest known as the Gray Woods. Ancient tales wArvithd of lost souls haunting the wood, hunting and killing anyone brave enough to enter it.
+Arvith and his band rode north in search of his missing brother.
-Heedless of those rumors, Arvith followed them. His only worry was that his horsemen would be at disadvantage if attacked in the forest.
+V, 363 YW
-=== Introductory Dialogue ===
+We've been searching three days for Baran, and turned up nothing. My best hunch was to head north into the borderlands, where the necromancer's minions could safely hide; everywhere else is more farmland. At first I thought the search might be useless, but late in the first day we found a set of tracks. Some of them had been made by skeletal feet, although after their first camp-site the tracks were merely those of men carrying heavy loads.
-'''Narrator:''' Sounds of a scuffle were heard from the forest.
-'''Arvith:''' Come on, men. A stroll through such lovely green woods, what could be finer?
+But I'm past superstitions now; I've seen enough of the world to guess at the truth behind these sorts of tales. The forest is home to elves - unfriendly ones, if the stories have any basis at all. I worry for my men; horses don't fight well in forests, and the elves will be more dangerous in their own territory. But there are things that need be done and questions that need be answered. Something bigger is happening. One necromancer terrorizing townsfolk is nothing new, but why didn't his servants scatter when he was killed? Where are they headed now? And most importantly, why did they take Baran with them?
-'''Unit:''' It is whispered that hungry ghosts rule this forest, and kill everyone who dares to enter.
+Besides... I want my brother back.
-'''Arvith:''' I will lead my men, and such villagers as can keep up with us, north to slay this Mordak! What will you do?

 '''Arvith:''' We're chasing after some men who kidnapped my brother!
-'''Nil-Galion:''' Those men told me their prisoner had attempted to murder their master, and wArvithd that evil men would follow him. Advance no further, or you will die.
+'''Nil-Galion:''' Those men caught their prisoner practising necromancy; for your sake, I hope he wasn't your brother. Assume that the man they caught was your brother's murderer, and rest assured that the grey mages will release all of the souls that their prisoner's evil magic has bound to this world.
-'''Arvith:''' So much for those ghost stories. Mere elves will not stop me from freeing my brother!
+'''Arvith:''' We killed the necromancer on the battle field! I saw the killing blow with my own eyes.
-'''Unit:''' I am glad at least that we will not have to face ghosts. But those elves will have us at a disadvantage; our horses will not maneuver well in the trees.
+'''Nil-Galion:''' We heard the sounds of battle three days ago, but the foul reek of death was unmistakable as the prisoner passed us; if your brother really is the prisoner then he's also a necromancer. Remember your brother as we all hope he was, and know that the prisoner's fate will be revenge as dire as you could wish.
-'''Arvith:''' Bah, just stay on the paths; our spearmen and bowmen can fight in the deeper woods. We have faced and won through greater perils than those amateurs can offer.
+Either way, nothing will be gained by your intrusion into our woods. Now advance no further, for we'll defend our land.

-Translation hints: The first paragraph is shown with the journey map as a background, showing the village in the foothills along the route between Aldril and Dan’Tonk. I'm assuming the beacons either use smoke signals or basic fire signals, with a few agreed ones to request goods or indicate that surplus is for sale.
+The remote freehold of Maghre in the western reaches of the Kingdom of Wesnoth was once a peaceful place, its inhabitants largely unaware of the comings and goings of the wider world. Wars and the rumour of wars touched them not. Even merchants were rarely seen, although caravans between Aldril and Dan’Tonk might send a wagon when called by the beacon tower.
 Then came the day that a dark mage settled in the region and began seeking sacrifices for his summonings.
-Skeletons and zombies killed cattle and fired fields. 'Fear and obey Mordak the Mage!' they cried in fell voices as they did their foul deeds. People vanished from isolated farmsteads. Men and women began to fear the night, and their children even the bright day. But the nearest lord was more than a day’s ride distant, and messengers sent to seek his help did not return.

-There was a man named Baran who had shown talent as a mage when he was young, gone to the great Academy on the Isle of Alduin, and returned to work his magic in the land where he was born. The people looked to him for help and leadership. He found weapons half-forgotten from the times of their sires and grandsires hanging in many houses, and bade the villagers to take them down and clean and oil them. He set the smiths of Maghre to making spearheads and ax-blades for the rest.

He set the smiths of Maghre to making spearheads and axe-blades for the rest.
 Now Baran had a brother named Arvith who had also left Maghre to seek his fortune, and had become the leader of a small band of horsemen who hired out as guards to merchant caravans. Fortunate it was for all that, in better times, the brothers had talked of using trade beacons for other signals when in dire need. Baran sent out that call.
