@nemaara I only just noticed this after finishing Liberty (1.16.1). Any reason for the leading zero? I think it's better without it, plus I note there's no leading zero in Civil Disobedience:

I don't know why I put a leading 0 there hmmmmmmmm. Looks like I need to make a round of punctuation edits though, I don't like the colon in the one in S2 I think.

It were a real shock. I were so stunned, I barely even remembers what happened after."

story= _ "Baldras and his men fled the plains of western Wesnoth under the cover of night. The spectacle of Halstead’s destruction held them in a daze that only slowly wore off as they made their way north to and past Elensefar."
story= _ "Helicrom, I don’t know what happened to him, didn’t see what happened to Maddock’s son either. Me and Harper and the few of us left got up and ran. We be heading back north now, toward Carcyn and Elensefar. Them patrols seems to be in real disarray, mostly seeming to be riding back south to regroup. It be looking like we really did disrupt Weldyn’s chain of command, least for now."

[part]
story= _ "The Elense riders routed the orcish army, small as it was, and sent them back across the Great River. They then scattered to the countryside and were not heard from again. Baldras thought this behavior odd when word of this first reached him."
story= _ "Them Wesnothians will comes back in time, I’m sure. With Maddock acting the way he is, holed up in his stupid tower, they’ll eventually siege Elensefar and takes the city from him. He be letting them walk all over him like some coward, but... that don’t be my problem anymore. I has me a village to worry about. I needs to get back, consult myself with Relana and figure out what to do next. We gots time now, with that Wesnoth army in chaos, but we can’t wait forever."

story= _ "As the main body of Asheviere’s army neared the ruins of Halstead, strange things began to happen. Every night, men would disappear. Others were found hacked to bloody pieces. Unexplained misfortune plagued the marching columns. Soldiers dropped dead where they stood, slain by unseen assassins. Fear of an undead menace spread through the ranks."
story= _ "10 Scryer’s Bloom, 501 YW
We gots back to Dallben today, but the village were empty. Were a few bodies and some burned houses, but it weren’t raided or nothing. Must’ve been one of them Wesnoth patrols, curse those damned stinkers! When I first seen the scene with my eyes, I thoughts that we failed, that we was too late... but now that I thinks of it, it be real weird that so few died. The others must’ve gone somewhere."

@nemaara I understand Baldras has long since be rewritten to sound like an American hick, but 'seen the scene' sounds awkward, even if only because of the rhyme. Any alternative to this? Anything wrong with 'saw the scene' or is this part of the 'uneducated flavour' of his speech?

Thanks for the quick update.

story= _ "When the army of Wesnoth found the ruins of the mighty fortress Halstead, it was too much. Their shock that such a thing could happen, combined with the invisible terror stalking them, convinced Asheviere’s second in command the entire countryside was cursed. He quickly retreated to the traditional border and set up strong defenses against the west."
story= _ "I sended Harper off to Delwyn, hoping he’ll find something there. In the meantimes, I’ll rest this tired body for a little and go see sis, maybe pick her up some lilies. Seems like this’ll probably be the last time I gets to see her..."

story= _ "Baldras had just crossed the Great River when rumors of night-stalkers filtered through his ranks. With bitter humor he realized that Lord Maddock’s men were successfully using tactics Baldras had mastered and used during his resistance."
story= _ "She’ll tells me not to be sad, of course. That life just be a big adventure and filled with fun, and that I shouldn’t thinks about stuff I can’t change. The world be huge and vast, churning on with or without little people like me. I don’t got the power to change it, so why not try to live as best I can? Besides, I still gots me a little piece of her in Harper, so I should cherish the lad. I do, Erwen, I really do..."

story= _ "The peasants-turned-outlaws finally reached Dallben. It was burnt to the ground. In a panic, they raced through the forest to Delwyn. It was likewise devastated. However, they did find one clue as to what happened..."

Harper got back today from Delwyn. Said he didn’t find no one alive there, much like our situation here. But, he did find a grimy note on Relana’s door, brought it back with him for me. Let’s see what it says."
