KNIGHTS

There is cauldron in the center over your area. The walls are tinged in your team's colors, but besides the cauldron, it's bare.

The water in the cauldron is glowing faintly.

Then, Nimue speaks, and as she speaks, the cauldron begins to reflect her vision.

"There lies a kingdom in ruin... Through no fault of its own. All of its inhabitants dead, or lost to the world. Though it lies in ruin, you can see the the faint remnants of the beauty it once contained."

A pause, her voice sounds fainter now.

"Heroes... you have choices that we do not. How... would you use them...?"

Uh... is this a kingdom that has magic? Then that's a tool we can use, right?

"It does... But who would you ask?"

Wait, wait... if it has magic, isn't there a way to find out the traitor in the first place that way?

"He also has magic."

So in other words, he would know how to block any spell to find him.

... I guess that means something like he knows how to conceal himself, huh... if he's that smart, then he probably won't take a blatant 'opportunity' to kill the king either. Can you confirm that?

"No, his plans are much more subtle... And involve the destruction of the kingdom."

So he wouldn't move until his plans were ready?

Was he greatly trusted? [Guy sounds like my type of traitor.]

"Yes."

You and Mordred would probably get along Grate.

Why?

[Son of the king planning to stab him in the back, sounds like an upstanding guy?]

Who was he to the king?

"Mm... we do not know."

But someone close, surely. That does narrow it down.

Wait, so we know who the traitor is already?

Maybe they just couldn't get proof against them... I mean, this person's subtle and all.

Guys, I know this is a maybe thing she's talking about, but if the destruction of the kingdom is anything like what I found out happened in her realm — this guy named Mordred let the enemy into the city while the king was somewhere else with his army, or something like that. So should he have left more guards, or what?

--ah.

Depends.

This Mordred--if he was trusted enough, he would have his own guard. So there would have to be enough to combat against them.

He'd have to be discredited before the king left.

... No, putting more guards would have done little except spare more time for the battle that would ensue. Letting the enemy in bypasses all defenses.

"Mm... No. It would depend on who you ask, but these... are traits he has."

What are his plans?

"To betray the king and kingdom."

How? Is he looking for a specific opportunity?

"Yes..."

Someone close to the king and with significant amount of power in the ranks.

[h-haha. sounds familiar to things from home...]

... there has to be other smart, subtle guys in the ranks! Surely you could get one of them to trip the traitor up in his own plans?
