                         The First City of Alliance
                       Introduction Cut-Scene scenario

- PART I

Screens needed:
2 320x200 screen of the tavern.  The two screen must be adjacent, and
form a 640x200 image.  The camera will start on the right part and
scroll to the left.  On the left image is a storyteller on a stage.
Most patrons have beer in their hands (mostly wooden glasses and mugs)
The patrons are fixed, so you can draw them directly on the background.
The storyteller will be moving though, so it should be drawn on a
separate screen using color 0 as background.  The tavern is dimly-lit,
with a fireplace somewhere behind the storyteller.  I will need 3
100x60 clouds.  Cloud 1 contains a troll*1 with long dark hair who
looks really mean, his nose is shorter than most trolls (almost human-
like).  Cloud 2 contains a white dragon.  Cloud 3 contains King Karl,
the ruler of Bratock.

*1 Trolls are dark-green humanoids with a long nose.  They have long 
claws instead of fingers.  Their teeth are yellow, with longer canines
Their eyes are dark and hollow, looking more like empty eye sockets.

Scenario:

The screen opens in a dimly-lit tavern, patrons are drinking beer.
The camera slowly scrolls to a stage, where a storyteller finishes
up a story.

The storyteller is standing on the stage, he drinks a sip of beer and
then puts it back on a small table beside him.

- Patron 
'Storyteller, tell us the saga of the last war!'

Other patrons agree.

- Storyteller 
'Very well.  It all began with a vile troll named General Kahjar.'

A small cloud appear in the upper-left corner of the screen. 
The face of General Kahjar inside of it.

'This troll wanted something on Bratock, something that the Bratockians
themselves ignored.'

The cloud diseappear, and the storyteller takes a sip off his beer.

'But he knew the army of Bratock, with the small shakyrs on their
side, would easily repel his army.  He send forth a small group of
his kind, to seek and buy the services of the vile dragon Deand.'

A cloud appear in the upper-right corner of the screen, Deand the
white dragon is in it.

'The Dragon, who sought revenge to the Bratockians years ago, saw
an opportunity to get back at them.  He send forth armies of Orcs, 
dressed as Bratockian soldiers, to raid and destroy shakyr villages'

The cloud diseappear

'King Logos Karilna, only wanting to defend his people, began to
fight back, and started to attack human settlements, much to the
displeasement of King Karl' 

A small cloud appear in the upper-left corner of the screen. 
The face of King Karl inside of it.

'King Karl tore down the peace treaty, and the war seemed
unavoidable.  I should add that the king's councellor, Aldrick
Rigal, was in fact on the side of Deand.'

The cloud diseappear, and the storyteller takes a sip off his beer.

'A hero, whose name has been forgetted in time, arrived in Bratock.
With no experience or money, but with the guidance of strange
dreams and apparitions, the hero discovered the trolls fiendish
plans.'

'With the help of his trusty companions, he freed the son of the
King, whose death was presumed.  He then found the magic rings to
open the gates to Deand's lair, and killed the vile beast.'

'With the dragon dead, and with the twisted plot of Aldrick Rigal
and the trolls uncovered, King Karl and King Logos Karilna re-united,
and Rigal was send to prison for life!'

- Patron
'And then, what happened?'

- Storyteller

'General Kahjar and his trolls, ignoring the deeds of the hero, send
forth their army to wipe out the Bratockians, and take over the
Island'

The storyteller takes a sip off his beer.

'Unfortunately, the bratockian army had been weakened with the shakyr
war, and the new alliance between the humans and the shakyrs would not
be enough'

'The trolls unleashed their second batallion on The Walls of Bratock.
The castle fell in less than a day, the trolls seemed unstoppable.'

'Bralk and Brator would follow, with thousands of Bratockians killed.
The hero was sent on a mission, to find the trolls' weakness, and find
souls capable of such powers as to destroy the trolls once and
for all'

'The hero set forth to the continent.  They searched and found the
weakness of the trolls: fire.'

'After assembling a team of extremely powerful flame mages, the hero
came back!'

'The four flame mages combined their powers to form the most powerful
magical creation ever witnessed on the face of Akistar: the flame storm
This flame storm completely wiped out the troll army in less than an
hour.  Bralk, Brator and The Walls of Bratock were free.'

'Little did they know that the flame storm would burn down the entire
south-east part of the Island, and that this storm would create such
a weather disturbance, that Bratock would be plunged into the longest
dryness in the history of Bratock.  What was fertile plains in the south-
east now became barren deserts.'

- Patron
'And then, what happened?'

The screen fades to black

- PART II

Screens needed: 
None, already made that part!

Scenario:

Thunder clashes in the distance

'OSP Entertainment presents'

'A Christian Boutin production'

The screen fades back on this scene:

A full-screen brick wall with a window.  The view is close to the window,
so the window takes pretty much all the screen.

'The First city of Alliance' appears

- Guard behind door
'King Karl requires your presence in the throne room'

- PART III

Screens needed:
Throne room: Don't draw the throne room yet, another artist had made one
for Flame Storm and we didn't use it, so I'll see if it fits well.
I will need the faces of King Karl and Garsel.
These will be drawn on a 480x300 screen.  The faces, and the upper body
should be disposed so that when I display the leftmost 320 pixels and
downmost 200 pixels, Karl's face is centered, and when I display the right-
most 320 pixels and upmost 200 pixels, Garsel's face is displayed.

King Karl is the proud ruler of Bratock.  He looks a little bit tired
because of the war that ravaged his country in 'The Walls of Bratock' and
'Flame Storm'.  His hair is brown with some gray hair here and there.  He
wears a magnificent golden crown.

Garsel is the highest mage in Bratock.  He is the leader of the 'mages of
the moon crescent'.  He looks old and powerful.

The three following hero should be on an black backgroung, they should
each adequately fill a a normal 320x200 screen.

Isaack Bratock is one of the toughest warrior in Bratock.  He always wear
a full plate armour and fight either with a musket or his magical blade.
(He should have his blade drawn and his musket sheated.  He is beardless.
He his young, but his helmet hides some of his face.

Kaline Poell is one of the most promising priest of Locast in Bratock.  She
looks good, wears a white robe with red markings.  She has a long magical
staff that allows her to use her magical powers.

Alex Jinn is the apprentice of Garsel.  He is a moon crescent mage with
powerful electrical energy flowing through him.

Scenario:

The throne room appears, King Karl is flanked by General Garland and
Garsel the great magician.  Prince Haggar is also in the room.

- King Karl

'Welcome heroes of Bratock.  Your deeds are noble, your alignment has
remained true to the Bratockian cause every since your arrived in
Bratock.'

The camera zooms to Karl's face

'We are forced to call upon you once more.  The fiend that led the
trolls here is still alive.  Garsel discovered where he is'

The camera scrolls up and right to Garsel

'With the help of the Crystal Mages from the south, we have been able
to clarify this whole situation'

The camera zooms back to the throne room.

'General Kahjar came here for a precise reason'

The camera zooms back to Garsel's face

'The first city of Alliance'

The room becomes silent.

'We know not where the city is, or what Kahjar seeks there...'

The camera zooms back to Karl's face

'That is why we need you to track him down.  The remainder of our army
is too weak, and is needed to defend our cities and keep order.'

- King Karl
'You will need powerful allies to fulfill your quest:'

The screen fades to a strong warrior in a battle position.

'Isaack Bratock, and his magical blade, will provide protection!'

The screen fades to a female cleric holding a staff.

'Kaline Poell, and the staff of Locast, will help heal your wounds!'

The screen fades to a mage with lightnings pouring out of his hands.

'And Alex Jinn, and his magical powers, will increase your strength in 
combat!'

The screen fades back to King Karl

'Good luck, and may the light of Locast guide you through your quest!'
