Emphasis on "attempts".

In UtBS scenario 9 (Blood is Thicker than Water) if all enemy leaders are killed before all merfolk are sacrificed (turn 16) or rescued (before turn 16), one of the Council leaders — Hekuba — is spawned on deep water at 15, 28. He only exists for the duration of a short cutscene before being removed from the game and created again at the Iron Council island's keep during a much later event.

There's nothing technically wrong with this but the choice of terrain for his temporary location is rather immersion-breaking. It happens on both 1.14 and master.

Tempting to stick him on the mountains around 16,18, which would also act as a hint about where the player will need to move their forces for the third act of this scenario.

UtBS S09: Reveal the boss of the scenario at the end of part 1
31f0bd7 
This foreshadows that the player will need to attack the north-west after
defeating the north-east enemy, which is a bit fairer to anyone playing this
scenario for the first time.

Removes a now-unused string (Darius' pre-sacrifice speech). There are no new
strings here, the others are just being moved around.

For clearing shroud, change to using radius= because clearing a circle looks
better than clearing a square.

There's no significance to whether the new plan is "Plan B" or "Plan C" - back
in Wesnoth 1.10 it seems to have been dependent on whether all the merfolk had
been rescued.

Fixes issue wesnoth#5540 about Hekuba spawning on a water hex.
