⫷⫷────────── Premise ─────────⫸⫸

You are an adventurer, outlawed by the world. Adelwyn, a knight of the Holy Knight Order, has been tasked with capturing (or eliminating, if need be) you and bringing you to the capital for (unjust) prosecution.

With the multiple-intros feature, you'll have three settings to pick from:

A. (default) - Adelwyn searches for you in an autumn forest at sundown, calling out and demanding you stop hiding.

C. - Adelwyn searches for you in a run-down pub, affected by war. Upon calling out to you, she is met with heavy hostility by the pub's patrons, leading to a rapidly escalating situation, unless you intervene.
