WYNOA: I had hoped to avoid the attention of the Resistance and the battle that must follow. Alas.... High commander, we'll assay to hold them here. Withdraw to Psonji.
GATIALO: A Galgastani commander turn his back upon the enemy? Never!
WYNOA: No, m'lord Gatialo. You cannot throw away your life here. Galgastan needs you alive. Return to our holdings at Coritanae, there to reform our lines.
GATIALO: You are but a band of Akhiatros. They'll crush you!
WYNOA: We are prepared to die. We have always been so. Besides, you're in no condition to fight. You wouldn't reopen wounds so freshly closed and ruin our work, would you?
GATIALO: Then I shall take especial care not to die.
[He does not move. She turns to face Denam.]
WYNOA: Let down your guard at your own peril, Walister! We are proud warriors of Galgastan, and we will fight to the last!
[The group, comprised mostly of weakened units, attacks.]
XAPAN: Well if it isn't old Gatialo! Fancy seeing him here!
DENAM: You know him, Xapan?
XAPAN: Aye, he's a commander in the Galgastani army, a real goadsticker of a man. As feared as he's respected. Worse, it was him what pushed for Balbatos's blood war. My band ran afoul of Gatialo's lines at Psonji, and they hewed us down like scythes to grass. His kind would kill Walister for sport. Best give that one a wide berth.
[Gatialo is killed.]
GATIALO: Hngh.... Base Walister r-runt.... You besmirch the glory of Galgastan!
WYNOA: No.... A true hero of Galgastan has died today. Walister devils! I will visit this pain in my heart upon you sevenfold!
[Wynoa falls while Gatialo tries to retreat.]
WYNOA: So it ends, commander.... Run. Live.... Avenge us!
GATIALO: The killing of soldiers is one thing, but to slay Arkhiatros with such abandon.... You reaffirm my convictions. The Walister are a plague upon this land, a blight to be burned away!
[Gatialo makes a stand against Denam.]
GATIALO: Hngh.... Base Walister r-runt.... You besmirch the glory of Galgastan!
[Gatialo flees the battlefield.
GATIALO: I've marked well your faces, Walister. Next we meet, I shall mount them upon pikes that all may see!
WYNOA: Now, to buy m'lord as much time as we can.
[She staves off Denam for only so long.]
WYNOA: My hands have healed many. Now...they rest.
