Part One: Brother Against Brother

Briefing

The prison requires the Seven Keys...

I was once the bearer of the Seven Keys, but I have them no longer. Long ago I hid them, quite cleverly I had thought, but now they have been discovered. You see, the keys are not crude physical objects, but rather, concepts, thoughts, ideas: Dream, Justice, Death, Life, Silence, Love, and my Name...

All have been claimed by the Talons of Vengeance and the Black Queen save one. She moves now, with her Black Knights, to claim the final key from the mind of the Mad Man who paints Night Ward while he dreams in Bedlam. She moves to claim the key of Dream, and if she succeeds, she will take the only thing that is keeping the Mad Man sane... and the Night Ward in check.

  • Then we must stop her.

Stop her? Yes... yes, I see now, written in the sky's reflection on the water, the Black Knights are divided and so victory can be had.

Sir Bedwyr gathers too few to oppose his brothers and the Black Queen, but with your help, victory might be had.

The assault on Bedlam has begun, and your destiny needs you there, as does a princess named Penelope who fears for her friend, the Mad Man's brother. She will be ever so glad to see you.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The mind of a girl tells me the Sorcerer Queen and her Black Knights are very close now. I like the mind of this one, she is quite... creative...

Rusty! You made it! I knew that you would come to the rescue, just like in the stories.
The Sorcerer Queen has already reached the castle, you have to hurry before she finds the Sunshine Artist!
The Sorcerer Queen has found him!

If she steals the dream from him then his brother, the Mad Painter, will paint nightmares over everything!

You have to stop the Sorcerer Queen and save the Sunshine Artist or the nightmares that Mother sent away will come back for my Playtime friends!

 
Dreamlike Malaise: ...mon petite amour, how could I refuse a beauty such as you?
Black Queen: Oh, Jean, flattery will get you everywhere...
Black Queen: Now, what do I have to do for you to share your dream with me?
Dreamlike Malaise: Just look into my mind's eye and see...
Dreamlike Malaise: Can you see it?
Black Queen: Oh yes...
Black Queen: The dream is beautiful...
Dreamlike Malaise: Isn't it though? It changes to suit every person's whims and desires.
Dreamlike Malaise: Tell me, belle nuit. What is it you see?
Black Queen: A key... a key that I MUST have!
Dreamlike Malaise: Ung! What are you doing, ma fleur?
Dreamlike Malaise: No... Stop! Please... Give it back to me...
Dreamlike Malaise: I... Can't fight it... Alone... it's the only thing holding back...
Black Queen: Yes, I know, Jean...
Black Queen: It's the only thing holding back Despair.
Dreamlike Malaise: AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

After the Cutscene...

Debriefing

Sorrow and despair. Soon the world will be awash in it, but worry not, for there is always hope, no matter how dim, or battered, or beaten, hope always clings on.

The Black Queen must still open the Eternal Prison, and though its walls are guarded by Black Knights under her command, I believe there is still hope...

The daemons fear you, Character. You have impressed both them and me with your power. If you should ever need to contact me, just look into this seeing stone and you will find me looking back.
