As we go looking around for the prisoners, we meet a human-looking man who turns out to be the very first Stanfield. He seems to be friendly towards us and urges us to put an end to his other incarnations. He explains that "he" thankfully had enough decency to call forth <em>all</em> of his incarnations and that he never wanted any of this. All he wanted was to serve Risur and protect Flint, not to surrender the city to Danor. When we ask him about the prisoners, however, we realize that this Stanfield is actively avoiding to give us any concrete answers, so we get that even the most decent of the Governor's incarnations is merely trying to play for time, and still the stars are falling one by one.</p><p></p><p>Carlyle therefore decides to knock him unconscious as a precaution, whereupon the incarnation dissolves. With nothing more to lose, we move on towards the donjon of the castle and soon find ourselves in front of a barricaded gate. Carlyle uses a charge of alchemical flash powder to blow it open and together we storm into the inner area. Whereupon we are being shot at by several groups of elite Risuri soldiers, led by none other than Chief Inspector Delft.</p><p></p><p>"Delft", however, accuses us of being mere doppelgängers who want to kill Stanfield and orders the soldiers to stop us with all means necessary. We, in turn, realize that there is no way that this is our Delft, a suspicion which is confirmed by Carlyle as he muses that Delft might have had yet another mimic for breakfast and sees not the slightest twitch in the man's face.</p><p></p><p>“Soldiers of Risur, cease your attacks! We have come to liberate our city from the Danorans!”, Carlyle shouts towards the soldiers.</p><p></p><p>“We already cleared the harbor and repelled Lya Jierre's fleet.”, Auryn adds.</p><p></p><p>In reaction, the soldiers are very much confused, whereupon one of the Stanfields (some of which are apparently also present) shows himself and explains that they should not be distracted. He then turns to us and reproaches us for the fact that, apart from him, no one had really cared about the citizens of Flint, most prominently not the King, who was ultimately responsible for the forced industrialization and the misery it brought. And that we, as so many just enjoyed the rich and comfortable life that came with being both RHC agents and friends of King Aodhan.</p><p></p><p>Both of us are at first baffled by the sheer audacity of Stanfield.

Easing your consciousness for doing literally nothing to improve the life of the working population of Flint when you, their Governor, had all the power to do so? We were mere agents back then, but we fought with every fiber of our being to help the people of Flint. It was us, who ended the imprisonment of workers. Who inspired the Humanist League. Yes, we rose through the ranks by merit and by example. But you accuse us of lying on a comfortable cushion while you've been reveling in wealth and 'good company' for decades. It was up to you to craft a path towards industrialization, a path set up by the Obscurati, and even with all that you still failed to serve your citizens.

To not be ashamed of turning back on caring for your citizens?”</p><p></p><p>Carlyle then calls on the soldiers to use their common sense:</p><p></p><p>“Do you really think we would have gone that far were we mere doppelgängers? We are acting on behalf of good King Aodhan, who is already en route to Flint despite barely surviving multiple assassination attempts. Meanwhile, it was the traitor Stanfield who sent the fleet that could have protected Flint harbor from the Danorans to a trap at Elba. Do you not see that he actively aided the Danorans in invading our beautiful city?”</p><p></p><p><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">(Carlyle's player pointed out that this would have been more effective or epic if he had already been named King of Risur by then, but he knew Aodhan and his personality well enough to be able to speak for him. Some moments surely were a bit diminished by our previous efforts, but they nonetheless were worthwhile. And yeah, Stanfield <em>was</em> acting for the best of Flint before, like during the menace of the witches, but he was apparently led astray by Nic and the Obs. He has had all the means to fulfill Aodhan's wish of progress towards more technology and making Flint the industrial heart of Risur without purely oppressing the working class. A wish that was ultimately fueled by the Obs' schemes during Yerasol IV on top)</span></p><p></p><p>Chaos then breaks out as the Druids among the defending forces feel convinced of our authenticity and turn their spells on Stanfield. Carlyle lunges at one of the mage Stanfields, while Auryn, using the star metal from the Arsenal in her rapier reveals that Delft is in fact a doppelgänger by applying a small prick to his butt.</p><p></p><p>One by one, the soldiers join ourside as we fight our way through the Stanfields. During the fight, Carlyle tries to make mental contact with the real Delft and initially gets only pain in response. Upon further insistence, Delft signals him that he is being held captive in one of the houses of the donjon. He gives Auryn the general direction of Delft and we both storm the house and dispose of more Stanfields entering melee along the way.</p><p></p><p>Inside the house, we have to face a horrible sight, as Delft, Flying Spark and Margit are all tied to a ritual table and suffering terrible pain. We get that their essence must be powering both the ritual and the magic dome in some form by their connection to both the Land and the Sovereign. We make haste to end the ritual, whereupon the outer protective shield collapses at last.</p><p></p><p>But before we can rejoice for a mere moment, we suddenly hear the sputtering of the sea as the Kraken Titan rampages through the harbor.

Needless to say that Delft, who watches the scene from the corner of his eye, faints anyway. After disposing of the mimic, we are left with no choice but to fly to the remaining Stanfields in the tower. We are being met with attacks and spells from above in return, and do our best to avoid them.</p><p></p><p>We land on the platform of the tower and fight back accordingly, whereupon the Stanfields switch tactics and utilize the multitude of magical lanterns as weapons against us. This comes as quite the surprise, as we so far assumed them to be necessary only as part of the Obs' ritual.</p><p></p><p>The lanterns turn out to be quite powerful, as each of them and their respective planar power manages to and burn us or hold us down for quite a while, while the Stanfields use their own abilities to strike at us. We fight the Stanfield images to the best of our own abilities, and they seem to concentrate their fire on Auryn.</p><p></p><p>Meanwhile, the roaring thunder has turned into a full-blown storm inside the harbor area and we understand that this must be the true storm fey form of Old Stag takes on on the Kraken with the best of his abilities.</p><p></p><p>Little by little we get rid of the Stanfield images, but the "main" Stanfield continues to maltreat us with highly potent spells, with which he severely harms Auryn.</p><p></p><p>Trying to catch her breath and fight through the pain, she glares at the Governor with a mixture of determination, defiance and pity.</p><p>“Why... why do you fear me that much?”, she asks, without any actual hope for an honest answer.

He is not one of your kin anymore. I ask you to, please take his essence back. Remove the spark that was given, so I may enact justice upon him!”</p><p></p><p>And in response to his plea, one of the last stars, Mishados, a healer aspect of Srasama, detaches from the sky and starts falling right towards the tower.

[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 9049093, member: 6816692"] [B][I]When you wish upon a star [/I][/B] Shortly after we arrive in the courtyard of the Palace, the dome closes behind us again and we find ourselves standing in what appears to be a deserted square. As we go looking around for the prisoners, we meet a human-looking man who turns out to be the very first Stanfield. He seems to be friendly towards us and urges us to put an end to his other incarnations.

With nothing more to lose, we move on towards the donjon of the castle and soon find ourselves in front of a barricaded gate. Carlyle uses a charge of alchemical flash powder to blow it open and together we storm into the inner area.
