Act IV - The Betrayal

[Iras Algor – Toby Eddington:]
"What many believed was only a legend
Was now lying in front of me...
There it was… Erian's book of the holy angels…
The testament of all the heavens… beckoning… to me…
A black dragon made of stone stood guard over it
Threatening with outstretched wings…
As I drew closer, my heart pounded but I cast off my fear…
The next instant…
I opened the book…"
[King Uriel – Christopher Lee:]
"What Erian had written 5000 years before
Was now, finally, before their eyes."
[Suddenly Tarish raises a knife to Iras's throat]
[Dargor – Stash Kirkbride:]
"Elf of the caves!"
[Khaas – Marcus D'Amico:]
"Tarish, what in God's name are you doing?"
[Iras Algor – Toby Eddington:]
"You… insane… fool!"
[Tarish – Simon Fielding:]
"I do what must be done…"
[Dargor – Stash Kirkbride:]
"Let him go!"
[Dargor engages Tarish, and a velitation ensues]
[Tarish – Simon Fielding:]
"Agh!"
[Dargor – Stash Kirkbride:]
"Ouh!"
[Tarish – Simon Fielding:]
"Agah!"
[Tarish panting]
[Dargor – Stash Kirkbride:]
"Auh!"
[Tarish, still panting moves back]
[Tarish – Simon Fielding:]
"Give me the book…" *pant* *pant* "and I will spare the life of this old wizard!"
[Lothen – Christina Lee:]
"Traitor…" [Faint]
[A blow lands, and Khaas? Helps in pain]
[Iras Algor – Toby Eddington:]
"He knows not what he's doing!"
[Tarish – Simon Fielding:]
"I know very well what I am doing…
"Hand it to me… Give it to me…! …Or he will die!"
[Khaas – Marcus D'Amico:]
"All right…! …Take the book but let Iras go…"
[Iras Algor – Toby Eddington:]
"Nooo…!"
[They drop the book]
[Tarish – Simon Fielding:]
"Take it! Drop it!"
[In the next instant Khaas and Dargor attack Tarish]
[Iras Algor – Toby Eddington:]
"Fools…!"
[Tarish – Simon Fielding:]
"This belongs to the Black Order…"
[Dargor – Stash Kirkbride:]
"Leave it… leave it!"
[Iras Algor – Toby Eddington:]
"Ahhh… I'm bleeding…"
[In background: Khaas struggling with Tarish]
[Lothen – Christina Lee:]
"Help him…" [Faint]
[Iras Algor – Toby Eddington:]
"Do not let him escape…! Go after him, we must have the book…"
[Dargor – Stash Kirkbride:]
"I will return with it!"
[Dargor rushes off towards Tarish]
[Iras Algor – Toby Eddington:]
"As I lay wounded…
An incredible pain shooting through my head…
I saw… Dargor, struggling with Tarish… he won!
But before dying, the elf king was able to tear some pages… out of Erian's book…
Then, everything turned… to black…"
