Order and Chaos resume their respective positions.
Order
Well, this is quite the round, isnt it?
Chaos
Indeed, this random factor is the most random yet.
Order
I can’t help but notice that he has a relic that belongs to you.
Chaos
Mere happenstance, I assure you.
Order
You will pardon, brother, my observation that randomness tends to favor you in almost all circumstances.
Chaos
Randomness is my sphere is it not?
Order
If I did not know you were incapable of truly planning ahead, one would almost think you had seeded a number of these things in previous games with the intent that it would eventually affect other rounds.
Chaos
First, brother, of course I plan ahead. Chaos does build on chaos, but in this case I will not take credit where there is none. This is random random, not planned random.
Order
I fail to see the difference.
Chaos
Not surprised at that. Do you consider this a violation of the rules?
Order
I’ll leave that interpretation to father when we tally at the end.
Chaos
Fair enough. I, for one, am enjoying this round.
Order
I must say we are in rare agreement, but for entirely different reasons.
Chaos
Oh? I don’t understand what you see in it.
Order
That’s for me to know and you to find out.
Chaos
How enigmatic.
Order
Am I? Our games are entertaining but I am what separates the world from doom. By me, civilization exists.
Chaos
Yeah right. Spare me the platitudes. What’s your real game here?
Order
Aren’t games most of what we do?
Chaos
There is the game and then there is the Game. I just don't see how you win if I win.
Order
I suppose a small hint is reasonable.
Chaos
By all means.
Order
Your champion seems...exceedingly unenthusiastic.
Chaos
What...do you mean?
Order
Has Merlin done...ANYTHING to further chaos this round?
Chaos ponders silently.
Order
Exactly.
Chaos storms off.
End Act 1
