When your wizard goes to recue Clementine, César tells you that she is solitary confinement. Captain Kravchuck is her guard.
Captain Kravchuck: “What do you think you’re doing? This is SO-LI-TAR-Y. One prisoner only, and we already have one. Wait a minute… you’re not a guard!”
Ivan the Great: “No. You speak to Ivan the Great! And he did not come here to drop off prisoner; he came to pick one up! The Pingouin comes with us.”
Captain Kravchuck: “Oh yeah? Maybe when Pingouins fly, comrade. We have orders to keep this one here until she breaks. She isn’t going anywhere.”
