PATRON SAINT

It’s worth coming here for the drinks alone. The rest is just a bonus.

Don’t tell my wife I’m here. She’d jump to the wrong conclusion.

Do you prefer water, whiskey or wine? For me, it depends on the day, and the year, if you like wine.

Mid-quest reveal

Hold on. Before you go up there, I’d like to have a little chat.

Who are you really?
I’m a Saint. Just like the men you killed.
Don’t worry. I’m not here to fight. In fact, I’m on your side.
You see, our leader is making this out to be a religious crusade. But the truth is, it’s just personal.

Go on.
You might not be aware of this, so I’ll just go ahead and say it. I’m a Saint. Just like the men you killed.

I don’t like the sound of this.
Don’t worry. I’m not here to fight. It’s not in my nature. I’m actually a saint, but I don’t agree with what we’ve started here.

I don’t have time.
Will you make time for a Saint? That’s right, I’m with the men you killed at the church. But I’m here to talk, not fight.

What’s the cause of all this?
It’s an old story. A boy visits a brothel, hoping to become a man. Only this story has a cruel twist. It wasn’t a woman waiting behind that door. It was his sister. A girl named Jane.

Why risk coming here?
I’ve lived a long time. Death doesn’t scare me. Outliving my children does.

Who are you people?
In dark times, men need faith. It gives us hope and the power to change.
The problem is, as time goes by, that power can be corrupted and used for ill.
It’s not that closing this brothel isn’t noble cause. If that were the real reason for this war, then I wouldn’t be here.

So what do you propose we do?
Well, in the old days, conflicts like this happened on a much larger scale. Some alliances were forged with marriages. Others, with hostages.
I want you to give Cue this letter. It outlines the terms of a peace agreement.
Whatever he decides, I’ll be waiting on the rooftop to the east of here. No setup this time. No tricks.

Talk to Cue. See if he can’t find it in his heart to release the girl from her contract.

So Cue took the deal. It’s good to see diplomacy is alive and well.
As for you, you’ve made a friend in the Saints. And perhaps you’ve even earned a place in our circle.
When that time comes, we’ll find you.

Scene

Is it true? Are you really taking me home?

Yes, I am. Maybe not the home you remember, but home nonetheless.

What about my brother? He’s not mad?

Leave him to me. In the meantime you can explain to me how this all came about.

I don’t really know what to tell you.

You should tell me the truth. As for your brother, we’ll come up with something better.

Last Hello

We’ll take our leave after you take yours. You can never be too careful.

The deal’s off! Kill him!
