CHAPTER III: ENCOUNTER AT DORTER TRADE CITY

[It is raining in the streets of Dorter. Townsfolk wander around. As Ramza comes up the hill, a young man confronts him.]

EXOTIC WIZARD: Heretic Ramza?

[Ramza takes a step forward.]

RAMZA: Where is Alma?

WIZARD: If you want her back, come to Riovanes Castle. But you must bring the 'Germonik Scriptures' given to you at the monastery.

RAMZA: What does it mean to you?

WIZARD: Haven't you read it?



[OPTION 1]: Yes.

RAMZA: Return Alma, if you don't want the church's lies exposed!

WIZARD: You're in no position to demand. You have no choice.

[Ramza lowers his head.]

WIZARD: You've been warned.

[The man turns suddenly and walks away.]



[OPTION 2]: No.

RAMZA: No, not yet. Is it an important book?

WIZARD: A blissful ignorant. Your life's in danger, and yet you don't even realize the importance of the book?

[Ramza lowers his head.]

WIZARD:Well...no matter...you've been warned.

[The man turns suddenly and walks away.]
