RECORD OF LODOSS WAR
EPISODE #4
"THE GREY WITCH"

	Narrator	
The war between the gods of light and darkness reached a climax in 
which the mother goddess of the earth, Marfa, and the malevolent goddess, 
Kardis, battled to the end.
After the fierce battle, the two goddesses perished like a flame flickering 
away on the newly created land which was separated by the battle.
This land was later named by the people as the cursed island, "Lodoss."

(epsiode title)

	Pan
Why? 
<Pan gets pushed back by the guards>
Why aren't we allowed in Alan?

	Guard
Alan is a capitol. 
In order to maintain the protection, we can't afford any outsiders to 
tresspass even if he's Alanian. Large cities are restricted.

	Eto
What does that mean?

	Guard
What do you think? Alania won't oppose Marmo nor will it be subdued.

	Wood
In another words, ya're goin' t' act silent.

	Pan
Then, for what reasons did Myse Fort fall?

	Guard
All we lost is one fort.

	Pan/Eto
Wha'?

	Eto
Pan

	Pan
Is that what the Emperor of Alania, Kadomos VII, thinks?

	Deid/Eto
Pan

	Pan
Answer me. 
Answer me.

	Narrator
Beld is the emperor of the evil island, Marmo. The news of his departure for 
Lodoss spread throughout the entire continent.
The conquest of Kannon surprisingly occured quickly. King Faunn of Vallis, 
deciding to ally with neighboring country, Alania, sent out a messenger.

AT THE CASTLE OF KING FAUNN

	Faunn
Fianna, by no means will this be an easy trip. I believe you will do 
remarkably well in your mission as a princess.

	Fianna
I will tell Emperor Kadomos of Alania what you said, Father.

	Faunn
Take care of my daughter...no, the princess.

	Guard
Certainly, with our lives

AT THE TEMPLE OF FALALIS

	Vagnard
Isn't it about time for you to release a proclamation throughout the country, 
King of Kannon?
If you do so, we won't have to spill blood in waste.

	King of Kannon
Who would willingly help the devils? Even if the royal blood dies, Kannon 
will not kneel to Marmo.

	Beld
Is that so?
<He pours wine from his glass. The soldiers take the king away>

	Karla
What a splendid reunion. The east of Lodoss is the emperor's results.

	Beld
Good news from Ashram?

	Karla
Is 'tis not too early for good news? Do not fret thyself. Alania is not the 
country to be dealt with. 
Your Majesty, Vallis sendeth a messenger to Alania.

	Beld
Faunn? 
Are they moving?

	Karla
Leave it to me.
<She disappears>

	Vagnard
She's very cunning, isn't she?

	Beld
Hmph
Let's use her while we can.

ON SOME ROAD

	Deid
Pan
Pan
How long do you plan on staying mad?

	Pan
I'm not mad.

	Slayn
You'll be in the "Forest of No Return," if you go that way.

	Pan
Wha'?

	Gim
Hmph

	Wood
Yo, hey, we aren't goin' through there, are we?

	Deid
Pan

	Pan
Yes, we are.We'll go to Vallis through the "Forest of No Return." Even if 
Alania fails, King Faunn of Vallis will definitely fight.

	Gim
Are you saying you're going to help them fight? Hmph. You aren't skilled 
enough to be a gate watcher.

	Eto
Gim

	Wood
Hey, excuse me, has there ever been anyone who's gone into that dangerous 
place and come back out? H..hey

	Pan
Then, I'll be the first one that's ever come out.

	Wood
My...
Yo, hey, hey, we don't have t' pass through that dangerous place. We can 
take safer paths to Vallis.

	Pan
When do we have the time to go around? If we take time to do that, then 
Marmo will...

	Wood
Arrgh
Hey, somebody, say something.

	Pan
I don't want anyone to force themselves. I don't intend on swallowing up all 
of you in the path I choose to follow.

	Deid
Let's go. 

	Pan/Wood
Wha'?

	Deid
Let's go...to the "Forest of No Return."

	Pan
Deid

	Slayn
Gim, what about you? Since you seem to have another purpose...

	Gim
Hmph. No...not really...

IN FRONT OF FOREST OF NO RETURN

	Deid
Wait.

	Pan
Wha'?

	Deid
Before we enter, promise me only one thing.
Surprise, fear, anger, and grief...you must forget these strong emotions. An 
emotional outburst influences the surrounding trees. 

	Gim
Hmph. An elf, giving orders

	Deid
Dwarves, I don't worry about. You guys don't have enough feelings to even 
worry.

	Gim
Hmph

	Deid
<Spell> To the guardian of plants, king of the forest, open the locked gates of 
the Holy City and welcome us. To the guardian of plants, king of the forest, 
open the locked gates of the Holy City and welcome us. <end spell>
Well then, follow me.

	Wood
F...follow her?
Oh
Hey, you can't be serious. 
H...hey, wait for me.

	Pan
My...my strength...

	Gim
Don't worry. That happens to everyone here.

	Deid
That extra strength gets drawn out. It's because problems like fighting and 
hatred don't occur here.

	Slayn
That's right. The land of the Elves. Deid, this is your birthplace.

	Eto
I thought this land was lost long ago.

	Deid
Well then, come on. We don't have time to dawdle, let's hurry.

	Pan
What's that supposed to mean?

	Slayn
Time in the elfin world travels much swifter than the normal world. We 
must hurry out of here, or we'll grow old.
Well, let's hurry out.

	Gim
Yes, let's

	Pan
The Land of the Elves? Wha'? 
Father?

	Gim
Wait. Don't go. It's just an illusion.

	Pan
Wha'? 
Oh

	Deid
Pan, hurry up. If we don't hurry, we won't be able to get out.

	Wood
Hey, wait. 
<He sees something below him>
Ah, gold.
<He glamours in it until he notices a change>
Wha'?
<The gold turns to mud>
Ah, no good
<He throws the mud away>
Wha'?
<He sees behind him the darkness catching up to him and runs for it>

	Deid
Wha'?

	Eto
Wood

	Wood
W...wait for me. H...help me.
<Dead branches catch him>

	Deid
<spell> Fairy of light, come to me.

	Gim
You idiot. This is what happens cuz you didn't listen.

	Deid
Don't get angry. The trees react to strong emotions.

	Gim
What?
<The dead branches catch Gim>

	Pan
Gim

	Gim
Lairia
Lairia
Who are you?
Lairia
Give Lairia back to me.

<He gets thrown down and Pan follows to save Gim>

	Pan
Gim

	Deid
Pan

	Wood
Gim

	Eto
Pan

	Pan
I'm okay.

	Wood
Whew. Looks like we made it out.

	Slayn
This journey will be more difficult for Gim than I thought.

	Pan
More difficult?

	Gim
Lai...Lairia...

	Pan
Gim

AT MYSE FORT
<At the destruction of Myse Fort, Ashram checks the outcome. A body floats 
in the air and soars toward Ashram who cuts into halves with his sword>

	Karla
Didst Alania have less resistance than thou hoped for, Ashram?

	Ashram
Mind your own business. What about Vallis?

	Karla
News travel faster than I thought.

	Ashram
People of Marmo know that a slight of carelessness could lead to death.

	Karla
Do not fret thyself. I only stopped by to hear those words.

	Ashram
That witch

BACK AT FOREST

	Gim
Thanks. I'm okay now.

	Eto
Gim

	Pan
What image did you see?

	Wood
Hmph

	Slayn
You'll tell us, won't you, Gim?

	Gim
Lairia

	Pan
Lairia?
Oh, you don't have to tell us if you don't want to. Everyone has things that 
they don't want others to hear about.

	Deid
I wonder... He's the one responsible for putting us all in great danger.

	Pan
Deid

	Deid
Hmph

	Gim
I'm trying to find the daughter of Neese, the high priestess of Marfa.

	Slayn
Neese, the high priestess in Tarba?

	Gim
Yes. Seven years ago, when I was seriously injured in a mining accident, 
Neese left the temple to care for me, while her daughter, Lairia, worrying 
about my health, devoted prayers for me. 
<He recollects the incidence of what happened to Lairia>
We don't know where she went to.

	Wood
She must've been kidnapped.

	Slayn
But since she's a daughter of an high priestess, she probably has some 
training. For any simple situation...

	Gim/Slayn/Eto
Wha'?

	Pan
Wha'?

	Deid
Wha'?

	Wood
Wha'?

<Guards try to protect the Princess in the carriage>

	Guard
The princess. Protect the princess.

	Guard 2
Princess, there's no need to worry. We'll protect you with our lives, if need 
be.

	Karla
I wonder if thy prayers will reach to God?

	Fianna
Wha'?
	
	Karla
Alania fell long ago.

	Fianna
Somebody

	Karla
Thou hast naught to fear. I merely need thee for another matter.

	Fianna
Another matter?

	Karla
Maybe if thou disappear, thy father,  KIng Faunn, will be distraught.		

	Pan
Wha'?

	Guard 3
Princess

	Pan
It's...It's a...

	Slayn
A fire spell

<He takes hold of the fallen soldier>
	Pan
Hang on.

	Guard
Princess...Protect Princess Fianna...

	Slayn
Princess Fianna? The daughter of King Faunn?

	Eto
King Faunn of Vallis's...

<Pan gets on the horse and gallops after the carriage>

	Slayn
Wait Pan. It's too dangerous alone.

<Pan grabs Slayn onto the horse>

	Deid
Pan

	Wood
Hah, he's too curious.

<They chase after the carriage. Karla casts a fire spell at them>

	Slayn
<spell> That which was born from combining the almighty source and the 
infinite power and forged by the god, shed your false clothing and appear in 
your true form, becoming the barrier to protect us.
<They go after Karla>
Wait Pan. This strong evil magic...

	Pan
You
Return the princess

	Slayn
This power...never before have I...

	Karla
Meeting a sorcerer in this place.
To challenge a fight without knowing thy opponent is foolish.

	Pan
Damn you. Return the princess. Damn you.
I'm not going to lose to you.

	Deid
Pan

	Karla
'Tis the end...

	Deid
<spell> Oundiine, fairy of water, give us your power.

	Gim
It...it can't be. L...Lairia

	Pan
Return the princess, you witch.

	Karla
Young man, I will forgive and reward thy noble spirit.

	Eto
Pan, are you okay?

	Pan
Take care of her.

<Karla leaves>

AT THE TEMPLE OF FALALIS
	Beld
Both Alania and Kannon are not my enemies. Faunn, for thirty years, I've 
never forgotten you. Next is your Vallis.

<Vagnard stands atop a tower of the temple of Falalis>
	Vagnard
The conquest of Lodoss, what is that worth? If the time comes, human bodies 
will decay. Wha'?

	Kardis
Answer to my calls.

	Vagnard
Wh...who...are you?

	Kardis
Answer me.

	Vagnard
Who is it? Who calls me? Can you be the malevolent goddess, Kardis, who 
sleeps within the earth? Are you Kardis?

If you plan to subtitle with this script, please mention that it was
translated by "LODOSS WARRIORS, 1991".  Also do not forget that
if you subtitle, DO NOT DISTRIBUTE the subtitled copy.  If you do, you 
will be in the act of piracy and if you're caught, you'll be in serious 
shit.  Subtitled copies can be obtained from William Chow at 
wchow@questor.wimsey.bc.ca as soon as they subtitles

good subtitled copy and then a million different subtitled copies won't 
be on the loose.)
Stay tuned for more Lodoss updates and scripts in the future.
