[Erik Mortis]

I don't even know who this person is. Why should Dolor support someone they don't know!

My rebellion continues!

[Thomas Gaudin]

Of course it does...

Unfortunately, I'm not sure Woodshire is going to be able to support this rebellion! The last one we were able to go along with...but I like this new Duke!

[Erik Mortis]

I didn't vote for him....

[Daniel Farewell]

You wish for democracy?

[Erik Mortis]

I wouldn't have minded some say in this matter. I want to be Duke....

[Malliki Tosha]

I didn't vote for him....

You don't vote for Dukes!

[Erik Mortis]

How do you become Duke then?

[Thomas Gaudin]

I'd suggest murdering the current Duke, but what do I know...

[Allot]

There's something distinctly Khanish about you, Mr. Gaudin...

[Malliki Tosha]

How do you become Duke then?

The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in finest silk, held aloft the sword Excalibur. That's why he's your Duke!

[Erik Mortis]

Moisen bints lobbing scimitars is no basis for a system of government. supreme executive power comes from a mandate of the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony!

[Daniel Farewell]

I am sure I have the masses behind me. If not, I will make certain they are.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

There's something distinctly Khanish about you, Mr. Gaudin...

Indeed, I approve... except for the part about murdering the Duke.

[Daniel Farewell]

Aw, thank you khan!

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Only because it's not politically expedient.

[Daniel Farewell]

I love you, too.

[Malliki Tosha]

Moisen bints lobbing scimitars is no basis for a system of government. supreme executive power comes from a mandate of the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony!

Be quiet!

[Erik Mortis]

I mean, if I went around claiming to be king because some watery tart threw a sword at me, they'd put me away!

[Malliki Tosha]

Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

[Erik Mortis]

'Oh be quiet'? You see him repressing me?

[Daniel Farewell]

Erik, Malliki - hug each other and reconcile. :P

[Allot]

In case anyone hasn't got on (not to ruin your fun, but I feel Ric is confused): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAaWvVFERVA

[Daniel Farewell]

OK. That was embarrassing. I should have known that.

[Erik Mortis]

It's okey. I got some of the quotes wrong. Been a while and I was working from memory.
