My rage subsided, and not a single rebel was left standing... I was badly wounded and only the extreme rush of adrenaline and anger kept me alive in the fight. I had to use every last medical supply to patch myself back together.
When I got close to the giant artillery cannon, I picked up the faint smell of gunpowder. Maybe there's been a fight here too recently. Best to just avoid the place for now.
The town is filled with soldiers, and they seem very edgy. If Andrei survived this whole ordeal somehow, I think he'll be hiding out somewhere for now. Someone at the bar would probably know where to look.
:
Oh, so you haven't left us, friend! I didn't expect to see you again,
but it's good that we both returned here. You probably already know
about the fighting between the soldiers. The loyal generals are rounding
up the rest of the rebels in the trainyard.Bachelor: I think it's best if you tell me what happened, from the beginning.
Andrei: Yesterday I was going to visit my brother but when I got near I saw these shabby soldiers hanging around and thought that he was in trouble. I didn't find him in his home and rushed off in search of him. I was looking for him all night long, but didn't find him anywhere. Then I came across one of the generals, and he told me about a mutiny in the army!
Bachelor: So that's how you first found out about the rebels?
Andrei: I was listening when the general got a report about an architect who was shot by them. I ran all the way down to the big gun in the trainyard and asked the soldiers there if they knew anything. I was told that a lot of riff-raff were arrested and would be executed at dawn. They almost didn't let me go either!
Bachelor: What did you do after that?
Andrei: I had to get some reinforcements to save my brother, so I returned to this pub! But the rebels followed me here and tried to arrest me.
Bachelor: Ok, I know what happened here. But how did you escape after the rebels took you away?
Andrei: The loyal soldiers arrived and released me! They had found Petr and told me he was at home, sleeping like a log. Since my brother was now safe, I returned here.
Bachelor: Must have been a really tough day for you.
Andrei: I also heard rumors that the architect, who yesterday battled with the soldiers and started burning down his works, was shot by the rebels, but they gave the name Andrei... I don't understand what that meant.
Bachelor: That was me.
Andrei: Hahaha, so I am you! I've been mixed up both with my brother and my comrade. The fires of war has melted us down and recast us into a single bullet. If we could only return to the capital we could perform great deeds together.
Bachelor: I have a feeling I've heard that before. We can't leave this town just yet, it's too early to celebrate. Anyway, I need something from you. Do you have the blueprints for the base of the Polyhedron?
Summary: We have the last pieces of the blueprints in our hands, and can return to the Cathedral with them. Andrei and his brother are both okay, and it seems like the loyal soldiers kicked a good amount of ass today. Maybe we can help them round up the last few rebels later?
