*Travel to [[Tudor Street]]
Arphaun: ''We have a problem, <playername>.'' 
Arphaun: '''''The High Lord [[Maxim]]''', Seneschal of the Templar, is mustering his ranks. I suspect he means to assault the Hellgate.'' 
Arphaun: ''Hmph! It's no great surprise. Maxim has always been plagued by arrogance and excessive ambition.'' 
Arphaun: ''A growing need to become legend has made the High Lord blind to all reason.'' 
Arphaun: ''Now the fool thinks himself the next [[Commander Patrick Sumerisle|Patrick Sumerisle]]!'' 
Arphaun: ''The late Grand Master wrote his name with blood in the annals of our history. Maxim yearns for similar recognition, but doesn't understand...'' 
Arphaun: ''Summerisle sacrificed to secure our future. He died so that we might live!'' 
Arphaun: ''[[Maxim]]... Well, he fights only to secure glory -- an ignoble reason to begin any crusade.'' 
Arphaun: ''Worse, now that we've met three Truths, the High Lord may actually think himself capable of victory.'' 
Arphaun: ''I fear he could even launch a '''premature assault upon the Hellgate''', despite the Sister telling us we must first discover the other Truths.'' 
Arphaun: ''The fool!'' 
Arphaun: ''An assault now will earn us nothing but death.'' 
Arphaun: ''Truth is the key! I'm certain of that. To ignore it is to embrace oblivion.'' 
Arphaun: ''Hm. I think you may be able to help, <playername>.'' 
Arphaun: ''If the High Lord is mad enough to put his own wants before the lives of all Templar -- of all survivors! -- we must know for sure.'' 
Arphaun: ''Only you can find out.'' 
Arphaun: ''All I require now is '''a way to get you in the door''', close to Maxim.'' 
Arphaun: ''Hm. I will work on that. '''Come back''' to me soon.'' 
* Speak with Arphaun again
Arphaun: ''I must speak with you. Time is short.'' 
Arphaun: ''I'm afraid I have done something...impulsive that may aid you in entering Maxim's circle.'' 
Arphaun: ''I have intercepted a '''video transmission''' from the Seraphim First Sword, [[Aeron Altair]], one of Maxim's most valued knights.'' 
Arphaun: ''Listen now.'' 
* Video Transmission from [[Aeron Altair]]
Aeron Altair: ''[[Maxim|Lord Maxim]], Your pardon, sire. '''[[Brandon Lann|Principality Lann]]''' and his Fist were fallen upon in '''[[Tudor Street]]'''.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Lann himself was taken.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''I beg you spare the Fists necessary to mount a '''rescue'''. Without reinforcements, Lann stands little chance.'' 
------
Arphaun: ''[[Templar Base]] is but one stop from where Lann was ambushed, <playername>, but Maxim will send no one...'' 
Arphaun: ''He has not received this signal. I have not allowed it to pass.'' 
Arphaun: ''Please, I know this seems a terrible thing, but you must understand what's at stake. You must listen to me!'' 
Arphaun: ''War, <playername>... I speak now of war and its cost.'' 
Arphaun: ''Yes, Lann may die. I know it. But his capture presents an opportunity I will not dismiss.'' 
Arphaun: ''If [[Maxim]] assaults the Hellgate now, as I suspect, all will be lost.'' 
Arphaun: ''Sometimes, for the greater good an individual must sacrifice everything.'' 
Arphaun: ''Lann would understand, <playername>. Can you?'' 
Arphaun: ''If you will, I would have you '''meet [[Aeron Altair|Seraph Altair]] at [[Tudor Street]]''' and attempt [[Brandon Lann|Lann's]] rescue.'' 
Arphaun: ''Maxim thrives off heroics. If you can '''save the Principality''' and deliver him to Maxim, you may yet gain insight into the High Lord's schemes.'' 
Arphaun: ''Even if you fail to secure Brandon, the very attempt will shine and Maxim will still be -- hm, there is no soft way to put it -- in need of a new Principality.'' 
Arphaun: '''''Take this first-aid kit'''. I hope Lann still lives to make use of it.'' 
Arphaun: ''I am sorry. In war, no decision is easy, <playername>.'' 
Arphaun: ''Good luck and Godspeed.'' 
* Take item -- [[Emergency Medical Kit]]
* Travel to [[Tudor Street]]
* Find [[Aeron Altair]]
Aeron Altair: ''You're Arphaun's champion, aren't you? The one Lann spoke so highly of.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''But this is Maxim's operation... Why has the High Lord not reinforced us himself?'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Was my transmission not received?'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Whatever the reason, I suppose it's of little consequence now.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''You're no Fist, but you will have to do.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''I will not leave... I will not leave Lann, <playername>. I will not!'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Since it looks like we're not to be given more men, we will have to save him ourselves.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Time is short. But together we may yet '''rescue the Principality'''.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''I have Knights in '''[[Temple Place]]'''. They've spotted the beasts that ambushed Lann's Fist.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''If we '''head there at once''', we can overtake them.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Are you with me?"
* Travel to [[Temple Place]]
* Find [[Brandon Lann]]
* Incoming Transmission
Templar Guard: ''Seraph Altair! Sir, we've spotted those who took Principality Lann.'' 
Templar Guard: ''His captors have '''retreated to a Rift'''. He...'' 
Templar Guard: ''Sir, he didn't look well.'' 
Templar Guard: ''There isn't much time. We await orders.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Hold fast, Knight. We're on our way.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''Let's '''find that Hellrift''', <playername>.'' 
Aeron Altair: ''I have business with hell this night.'' 
* Breach the Hellrift
* Heal [[Brandon Lann]]
* Escort [[Brandon Lann]] to Safety
* Speak with [[Maxim|High Lord Maxim]] at [[Templar Base]]
Maxim: ''Mm... Lann Lives, does he?'' 
Maxim: ''All for the better. The story of his rescue must be thrilling.'' 
Maxim: ''He has --ah-- spoken of you, <playername>. I did not realize the adoration flowed both ways.'' 
Maxim: ''This devotion pleases me.'' 
Maxim: ''Tell me, will you show the same --ah-- courtesy to me? Mm, young one?'' 
Maxim: ''Know that there is a place for the obedient within my ranks.'' 
Maxim: ''Loyalty will soon yield glory greater than any have held!'' 
Maxim: ''Have you the courage to seize it?'' 
Maxim: ''It is nearly time for the unholy Gate itself to fall, young one. So very nearly time.'' 
Maxim: ''Come! '''Enjoy my haven'''; '''[[Templar Base]]''' is not without its --ah-- comforts.'' 
Maxim: ''For me there is still much to do. Yes, I think I shall have need of you soon.''
