3 quotes Forge Fitzwilliam Forge Fitzwilliam What a profound joy it is to welcome you, the good people of Neverwinter, to the resumption of the High Sun Games! [crowd cheers] I guarantee that you are in for the most riveting spectacle on all the Sword Coast. The rules are very simple: 5 harrowing challenges, 5 teams of champions. Whoever survives to reach the Cage of Sanctuary moves on to the next stage. One thing: I do urge you, please do not leave the arena till the close of the Games, as there will be a wonderful gift for each and every one of you! [crowd cheers again, he looks down] Alright, take me down. This is absurdly high. It's not what we discussed.
Forge Fitzwilliam One could argue that my actions, reprehensible though they were, led to a virtual renaissance for the city. And while I've only served the 1st year of my sentence, I have to say it has been...eye-opening. I have taken a look inside, and I've asked myself: "What's going on in there?". And, you know, I realized...a lot of it goes back to my mum. [flashback] She was a stern woman prone to fits and-- [interrupted by Chancellor Anderton, ending the flashback]

I can't! Sofina's too powerful! [he runs off]
[he tries to run away but slips on a golden chalice, turns to Forge]
Take the tablet. Keep Kira safe. [throws the Tablet of Reawakening to Forge]
Forge [catches the Tablet of Reawakening]
You have my word. [runs off]
Forge [Kira sadly looks at the mittens her father, Edgin, made for her, when suddenly...]
Knock-knock! I wanted to make sure you were alright. [sits next to Kira]
I knew I'd see him again one day. I just hoped it would be different.
Forge Well, you have to understand when he lost your mother, he sorta lost himself.
Why would he lie about the tablet?
Forge Maybe he was ashamed to admit how much he'd given up for so little.
I should probably go speak to him. [Forge gives a look] What?
Forge Well, he's gone, my dear. He's gone. I gave him the Tablet of Riches and...he left.
Forge I'm sorry. And I want you to know that even he isn't there for you, I always will be.
Forge The fact that you see good in me makes me believe that there might just be some on there.
Szass Tam
[speaks Thayan]
I sense your impatience.
Szass Tam...?
Szass Tam
[speaks English]
But you have always been the disciple I rely on most. Doff your cowl. You needn't hide your sigils from me.
[takes her hood off as her cloak turns red]
I'd rather be flensed and flayed than spend another hour with Forge Fitzwilliam.
Szass Tam
The man is insufferable. But we never would've come this far without his "charm". The living have befouled this world long enough. Take solace in knowing that your work here is nearly complete.
Forge [Forge enters the room and Szass Tam disappears] [sees Sofina]
There you are. With your hood off, I notice. Probably best to keep that on. You know, you Red Wizards of Thay are not as popular as you should be outside of Thay. And of course, you're about to be considerably less popular. B-but far, far be it from me ever to tell you what to do. [chuckles] Uh, Caldwell and Piradost have just arrived. I was gonna give them... [as Sofina stands up, the chair scrapes loudly on the ground] Awful, isn't it? I really have to do something about these chairs. They're, uh... [Doric disguised as a fly flies by him, he unknowingly shoos her away]
Forge [laughing as he walks into the room to find Edgin wrapped in tentacles by Sofina]
You'd think you'd be able to distinguish between your own daughter and a 300-year old wizard. Don't worry, Kira's safe. Unlike me, she had no idea you were coming. I don't think she knows how tenacious you've become, huh? Look, Ed, uh... [sits down] I'm really sorry for the way things turned out. But I think if you were truly honest, you'd have to admit I can give Kira a better life. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that she's with the father she deserves. Now I'm in a pickle because...I don't wanna see you die. Which is why I'm gonna leave the room. [as he's about to leave, Edgin tries to something from behind a tentacle] What? [uses a handkerchief to remove a tentacle from Edgin's mouth]
Forge How do you mean?
Put us in the High Sun Games. Give us a fighting chance.
Forge That's not a chance. It's not a chance at all. I mean, even if you were to somehow survive the tournament, Sofina's gonna... [Sofina glares at him] Uh... I-it would be much, much better for you to die here than go to the Games.
No. They defeated your men and mine. Let them fight in the arena. They deserve that much.
A-a trip?
Forge Yes. Something urgent has come up, but if we leave now, we'll be safe.
Safe from what?
Forge [looks at unconscious guards]
What is this?
This is an ambush. On the boat you were gonna use to escape from Neverwinter.
Dad...?
Hi, honey. [holds the Tablet of Reawakening] Hey, Forge, why don't you tell her what this is?
Forge [shrugs]
I don't know.
It's the Tablet of Reawakening, Kira. It's the reason why I left you.
Your dad's been telling you the truth, bug. It's Uncle Forge who's been feeding you lies.
Forge [laughs nervously]
It's rubbish. It's just rubbish.
Come with me, Kira. We'll go home, bring back Mom. We can be a family again.
Forge [as Kira was about to board the boat, Forge grabs her by the shoulder]
You're not taking my money. [pulls out a knife and points at Kira] Put down the tablet and get off my ship. All of you. Now!
Okay, okay, okay.
Forge It's alright. Shush, my darling, be quiet.
It's going down. [puts the tablet down] Just don't hurt her.
Forge See that, Kira? [referring to Edgin] Your father knows me. He knows I'm prepared to do terrible things to get what I want, even to those I care about most. [Holga spots a potato] In the end, that's all that separates the beggar...
[scene cuts to slow-motion, Holga throws the potato to Forge's face, causing him to let Kira go]
Nobody hurts my bug.
