“SHOW ME A EVIDENCE, AND I WILL BELIEF YOU.” THE KING GOES ON.

THE LEADER OF THE PARTY STEPS FORWARD. HE TAKES OUT FROM THE BAG THE SKULL OF THE DARK LORD. “LOOK MY KING,IS THIS ENOUGHT” HE ANSWERS TO THE WORDS OF THE KING.

A LONG SILINCE COVERES THE OLD HALLS. EVERYBODY IS STEARING AT THE PARTY.

THE KING ANSWERED REMORSFUL, “ACCEPT MY PARDON HEROS”. “SPREAD THE GOOD MESSAGE ALL OVER MY KINGDOM.” HE TELLS TO HIS MESSENGERS.

“THIS IS A GREAT DAY IN OUR HISTORY.” HE COMPLEDET!

“THE REWARD BELONGS TO YOUR PARTY.”

THE LAND IS DEFEATED FROM A EVIL LORD.

SEE YOU IN PART 2 OF AVALON ???

Dungeons of Avalon I (retranslated from German)

When you tell the king the news of the Dark Lord’s death, he looks at you incredulously. His old face is angry.

“Many have claimed this before you. These liars just wanted to claim the reward. I do not have much power left, but enough yet to see you punished for your lies,” the king’s deep voice echoes through the halls.

“Do you have any proof of your claim?” asks the king in a loud voice.

“Yes, my king,” says the leader of your group. He pulls the lifeless skull of the Dark Lord out of a sack and puts it on the king’s table.

A great silence fills the hall and all eyes are focused on the skull.

The silence is interrupted by a whisper. Glances, full of admiration, are directed at you.

The deep clear voice of the king puts an end to the murmurs, “Forgive me my skepticism. We are all grateful to you. As thanks for your deed, each one of you will receive 20,000 gold pieces. Pictures of you will grace this hall from this day forward. Let the good news be heard throughout the kingdom.”

Notes

The German version of the Dungeons of Avalon ending has some notable differences to the official English text:

• The political situation of Avalon and the position of the King are much better explained. In the backstory, which appears in the German-only manual, it is implied that the Dark Lord has conquered Avalon. The German ending clarifies that the King does still exist, but has little power.
• The exact amount of gold the characters receive is stated to be 20,000 gold pieces per character. This is exactly the amount they do receive.
• The layout of the ending screen depicting the party is explained: the King has ordered pictures of the heroes to be put up in the hall.
• There’s an interesting situation in this scene where the heroes, having slain the Dark Lord, have proven themselves stronger than the King in the eyes of his courtiers. The king realizes this, and immediately re-asserts his authority by rewarding the heroes.
• In the German version of Dungeons of Avalon, “bones” (e.g. Elf Bones) from which NPCs can be resurrected are referred to as “skulls” (Schädel). The return of the Dark Lord’s skull implies the possibility that he might return in a sequel.

In Dungeons of Avalon II:

• Lord Roa’s motives are much better explained in this ending in German. As the son of the Dark Lord, he intended to conquer Avalon in order to avenge his father, who was slain by heroes from Avalon 49 years earlier. The German backstory also explains Lord Roa’s position as Mayor of the relatively recently-conquered territory of Isla, which he was able to leverage into an attempted coup. In English, it’s not even explained that Lord Roa is the Mayor.
