|
I want to know about your beliefs.
|
Neutral 50
|
Would you like me to recite some scripture, or did you just want to know more about the Faith?
|
1
|
| DLC04MarAboutFaithCult
|
Sounds like just another cult to me.
|
Neutral 50
|
No, not exactly. People have clung to many beliefs since the Great War, and some have their foundations in the Faith.
|
2
|
| Neutral 50
|
The Bible was around long before the bombs fell, as was my Faith. To us, the War was a great tragedy, but not the True Apocalypse.
|
3
|
| DLC04MarAboutFaithMission
|
What exactly is your mission?
|
Neutral 50
|
We try to improve the state of the Wasteland by doing good where we can and by spreading the word of the Bible.
|
4
|
| Neutral 50
|
We also recover and restore religious relics that we can find, but that's a secondary goal.
|
5
|
| DLC04MarAboutFaithMom
|
My mother had a favorite passage from the Bible. Revelation 21:6 - recognize it?
|
Neutral 50
|
Of course! "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely."
|
6
|
| Neutral 50
|
So lovely. Selflessness like that is a rare commodity these days. I can see why that particular passage inspired her.
|
7
|
| DLC04MarAboutFaithOrigins
|
How did you become a missionary?
|
Neutral 50
|
I was raised at the Abbey of the Road where I was educated until I could receive my Rites of Mission. That's when I first left the Abbey.
|
8
|
| DLC04MarAboutFaithPassage
|
Scripture?
|
Neutral 50
|
Scripture - the world as told in the Bible. Would you like to hear a verse?
|
9
|
| I'd like to hear a passage.
|
Neutral 50
|
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall rise again incorruptible.
|
10
|
| Neutral 50
|
And we shall be changed.
|
11
|
| Could you recite a passage?
|
Neutral 50
|
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
|
12
|
| Could you recite a passage?
|
Neutral 50
|
I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.
|
13
|
| DLC04MarAboutFaithPassNevermind
|
Yeah, let's not do that.
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh, of course, my child. Something else, then?
|
14
|
| DLC04MarAboutFaithPassRecite
|
Sure, let's hear it.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm afraid I don't have a copy of the scripture with me, but I can share a few passages. Here's one of my favorites.
|
15
|
| Neutral 50
|
I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned;
|
16
|
| Neutral 50
|
he has crossed over from death to life.
|
17
|
| DLC04MarcellaBook0TopLvl
|
Can we discuss the Blackhall situation?
|
Neutral 50
|
I fear Obadiah is in dire straits. What do you want to talk about?
|
18
|
| DLC04MarcellaBookMoreInfo
|
Tell me more about this Book that's so important.
|
Neutral 50
|
Obadiah's a good man, but his family has an evil past. This book is an unwanted heirloom, and the foundation of the heathen Krvibi ritualists.
|
19
|
| DLC04MarcellaBookWhatNow
|
What should I be doing again?
|
Neutral 50
|
I told you about their ritual site, remember? See if they're hiding the book there and bring it back to me. From there? I don't yet know.
|
20
|
| DLC04MarcellaLetterDeliver
|
Obadiah Blackhall sent me. I have a letter.
|
Neutral 50
|
Obadiah sent you? Well, then, let's see what he has to say.
|
21
|
| Neutral 50
|
(Pauses to read note)
|
22
|
| Neutral 50
|
Oh dear... no, no. This can only mean one thing.
|
23
|
| DLC04MarcellaLetterResponse
|
What's wrong? What did the letter say?
|
Fear 50
|
Long ago, the Blackhall family possessed a terrible heirloom, a book of evil rituals, best forgotten. The Krvibi have their origins in it.
|
24
|
| Fear 50
|
The book was stolen years ago, though the Krvibi have never known of the theft. Their fear has kept the Blackhall Family safe these long years.
|
25
|
| Neutral 50
|
They'd never be so bold... that foul book is back in Point Lookout, and they must have it! We can't allow them to keep it.
|
26
|
| DLC04MarcellaLetterWhatToDo
|
What do you expect me to do?
|
Neutral 50
|
We must get it back before the Krvibi learn anything from it.
|
27
|
| Neutral 50
|
There's a ritual site... I'm certain they'll be hiding it there. I don't know yet what we must do, but for now it's enough to steal the book.
|

DLC04MarHolotapeMessage
|
Pained 50
|
They attacked while I slept. I.. I don't expect to survive. I only pray that you haven't taken that book to Obadiah. You must take up my mission. {Recorded as she lies dying of wounds. Ad-lib coughs, etc, but not overboard.}
|
29
|
| Neutral 50
|
There is... one way to utterly destroy the Krivbeknih, but you must take a pilgrimage, far north of Point Lookout, in the Capital Wasteland.
|
30
|
| Neutral 50
|
Seek a place called Dunwich. Within is an obelisk, itself a wicked thing. It'll consume the book - you need only press the book to its surface.
|
31
|
| Neutral 50
|
May God shed his blessings upon you, child. Make haste for Dunwich. {losing her strength, she finishes her message.}
|
32
|
| Pained 50
|
My God, I am sorry for all my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against You whom I should... {quietly, saying Act of Contrition to herself. She either turns the recorder off or takes her last breath as she fades }
|
33
|
| DLC04MarIntro01
|
Pleased to meet you, Marcella.
|
Neutral 50
|
The feeling is mutual, child. I'd enjoy sharing my belief in the Faith, if you'll listen.
|
34
|
| DLC04MarIntro02
|
The Faith? Let me guess - another doomsday cult?
|
Neutral 50
|
No, not exactly. I'd be happy to tell you more about my beliefs, if you're interested.
|
35
|
| DLC04MarIntro03
|
Shouldn't you be at the Cathedral with the Tribals?
|
Neutral 50
|
That's an ironic choice of words, actually.
|
36
|
| Neutral 50
|
That Cathedral was once a sanctuary of the Faith, true.
|
37
|
| Neutral 50
|
Those who inhabit it now, however, are not of the Faith and won't suffer my presence. So no, child - that Cathedral is no place for me.
|
38
|
| DLC04MarKriv0Intro01
|
He has, as a matter of fact.
|
Neutral 50
|
I thought as much. Listen to me very carefully, child. You mustn't bring it to him.
|
39
|
| Neutral 50
|
That book is known as the Krivbeknih, and it's a thing of evil purpose.
|
40
|
| DLC04MarKriv0Intro02
|
Maybe. So what if he has?
|
Neutral 50
|
Please, you don't understand what it is you're sent to fetch. That book, the Krivbeknih, is a thing of evil.
|
41
|
| DLC04MarKrivbeknih01
|
Krivbeknih? What are you on about?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, the Krivbeknih. The Blackhall family has a long, evil history with the book.
|
42
|
| Neutral 50
|
It was lost to them long ago, but it's found a way back to Point Lookout, and Obadiah seeks to reclaim it.
|
43
|
| DLC04MarKrivbeknih02
|
I don't know what you're talking about, woman. Step aside.
|
Anger 50
|
I will not be dismissed by you!
|
44
|
| Neutral 50
|
That book has been lost to the Blackhalls for generations, and I intend to make sure it stays lost.
|
45
|
| DLC04MarKrivMotives
|
Why do you want it so badly?
|
Anger 50
|
Obadiah's no better than the heathens he's asked you to steal it from. He believes he can use it to control them, and God knows what else.
|
46
|
| Neutral 50
|
There's a way to destroy that damned thing. I intend to do just that.
|
47
|
| DLC04MarKrivPayment
|
Obadiah's paying. How about you?
|
Neutral 50
|
I can't promise you money, but I have some medical supplies I can share. Please; it would be a good thing you do.
|
48
|
| DLC04MarKrivQuestAgree
|
If I recover the book, I'll consider bringing it to you.
|
Neutral 50
|
I ask no more. You can find me at my tent on the beach, south of Blackhall. God bless your path, child.
|
49
|
| DLC04MarPtLookout00TopLvl
|
What do you think of Point Lookout?
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm relatively new here myself, but I'll share what I can.
|
50
|
| DLC04MarPtLookoutFetishes
|
What do you make of all the bones and dolls on sticks around here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Swampfolk fetishes or totems. They probably mark territorial lines, or maybe are involved with rituals of some kind.
|
51
|
| Neutral 50
|
I've read about a lot of primitive beliefs that use similar symbols. Vodou magic, Santería, Obeah. Fascinating, if somewhat disturbing.
|
52
|
| Neutral 50
|
Though the underlying beliefs seem quite dark, I'm not sure they're anything more than an empty set of traditions to the swampfolk.
|
53
|
| DLC04MarPtLookoutLocals
|
What do you think of the locals?
|
Neutral 50
|
Hostile, in a word. I try to observe, but the swampfolk are dangerously aggressive to any outsiders. Lucky for us, they tend to keep to the swamp.
|
54
|
| DLC04MarPtLookoutMedicalTents
|
Did you set this campsite up?
|
Neutral 50
|
Sort of - the tents were collapsed when I found them. I was able to put them back together. This one smells the least like a wet Brahmin.
|
55
|
| Neutral 50
|
I restored a terminal in one of the other tents. From that it would seem these tents were originally put here before the War by medical workers.
|
56
|
| DLC04MarPtLookoutWhereYouFrom
|
You said you're not from around here?
|
Neutral 50
|
I come from the Abbey of the Road. I'm what you might call a missionary. I travel the Wastes, spreading the Faith and doing good where I can.
|
57
|
| You said you're not from around here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Right, I'm from the Abbey of the Road. I'm afraid its location is secret, however.
|
58
|
| DLC04TalkSomethingElse
|
Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
That book is of the utmost importance, we shouldn't be chatting idly. {polite but hurried.}
|
59
|
| Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
What else do you want to discuss?
|
60
|
| GREETING
|
|
Neutral 50
|
Wait a moment. I need to know; has Obadiah sent you in search of a book?
|
61
|
|
|
Neutral 50
|
Please; there's nothing for us to discuss until you retrieve that book from the ritual site. You must hurry.
|
62
|
|
|
Neutral 50
|
Greetings, child. I'm Marcella, missionary and student of the Faith. How are you?
|
63
|
|
|
Neutral 50
|
Speak your mind, love.
