Bestowal dialogue
'The decision must be mine, but I do not want to make a blind one. I wish to know what the others think. My heart leans towards Helm's Deep, but I truly don't know if it's prudent.
'Do you think this is a bad idea, <name>?'
You assure Agelwyn that her decision is just. You should ask the other refugees to say what they think, and report to Agelwyn on their concerns.
Background
You believe that Agelwyn should listen to everyone, but ultimately make her own decision.
Objective 1
- Tell the refugees of Marton of Agelwyn's command (0/9)
The people of Marton can be found in the refugees' hiding spot north of town.
You should ask the people of Marton what they think Agelwyn should do next.
- Refugee: 'It is clear that we must fight to win back Marton! We cannot let the Orcs who took our town think that we are cowards who will simply roll over and flee.'
- This man wishes to defend Marton
- Refugee: 'I cannot believe that Agelwyn would even consider abandoning the lands of our forefathers! We have inhabited Marton for hundreds of years. I vote not to leave it to the Orcs.
- 'Tell the lady what I said.'
- This woman votes not to abandon Marton
- Refugee: 'For myself, I should not be travelling so far in my old age. I believe we should attempt to remain in Marton.
- 'It is foolish to ride across the plains when our home is right here.'
- This woman prefers to remain in Marton
- Egelnoth: 'I have already stated what must be done. Marton needs to be taken back.
- 'The fact that she even considers any other option only demonstrates her weakness as a leader. This girl should not be playing at Thane as if the position was one of her dolls.'
- This man firmly believes in remaining at Marton, and is contemptuous towards Agelwyn for considering anything else
- Refugee: 'I will gladly follow my king to Helm's Deep. It would be an honour to fight for him there!'
- This man wishes to go to Helm's Deep to defend the King
- Refugee: 'I believe we should go to Helm's Deep.
- 'It pains me to leave Marton to the Orcs, but I am too old and stiff to fight. If I were a younger man, I might feel differently.'
- This man wishes to retreat to Helm's Deep
- Refugee: 'Helm's Deep! Would that I could vote for two. I am terrified of the Orcs that took over our town. I do not believe we can win against those fearsome foes.'
- This woman very much wishes to avoid a skirmish with the invading Orcs, voting for Helm's Deep
- Refugee: 'Whatever Agelwyn leans towards herself, I will follow. Thane Gladsúnu left her in charge, and I will follow her lead.
- 'Gladsúnu is a wise young man, and would not give us a leader he did not trust.'
- This woman respects Lady Agelwyn's position as acting Thane, and will follow her will
- Elstan: This man does not seem to speak much, but he bows his assent. He has not left Agelwyn's side, and it seems that he is as loyal to her as he was to Gladsúnu.
- Gladsúnu's loyal soldier is silent, but bows his loyalty to Agelwyn
Objective 2
Agelwyn is in the refugees' hiding spot north of Marton.
You should speak with Agelwyn.
- Agelwyn: 'If I weigh everyone's decisions, including the two that will follow where I wish, the majority do wish to go to Helm's Deep. That is in line with my own desire.
- 'This was not as clear a choice as I had hoped. I fear I will displease many.'
