Chapter 10B

## Chapter 10B Script

## World Map
In order to speak to the resistance force about the bandits on the Western Isles, Roy and company move west along the coastline. Along the way, they come across a small village caught in conflict. The local lord oppresses the resistance and does anything he can to get rid of them...

\s[5]
Have you not found that\n
resistance bard yet?|

\s[2]
We have a good lead, milord.|

\s[5]
Out with it then. Where is he?|

\s[1]
He's apparently in hiding in\n
one of the nearby villages.|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
Removing Elphin the Bard will sever the\n
brain behind the resistance force.|\b[5|0]\n
Find him. \m[5|5]Burn the village to the\n
ground if you have to, I don't care!|

\s[2]
Yes, milord!|

\s[1]
At once!|

\f[2|Melady]w[16]\f[6|Zinc]\m[6|5]
\s[#]
I apologize for the\n
wait, Madam Melady.|

\s[2]
You seem to have... a full plate.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Oh, worry not, our obligations to Bern\n
take priority over all. If you need\n
anything, please don't hesitate to ask.|

\s[2]
Then let's get to the matter\n
we discussed earlier...|

\s[5]
Ah, the whereabouts of Princess Guinivere.|

\s[2]
Have you found anything, Lord Zinc?|

\s[5]
I regret to say that I have not.\n
Have you been to Juteaux?|

\s[2]
I have.|

\s[5]
Then I suggest you pay a visit to Father Oro.|\n
He resides in the castle at Mt Eburacum to\n
the north. He knows the region better than\n
any of us, so he may have some idea.|\n
However, if even he does not know where\n
Princess Guinivere might be, then she is\n
most likely not in the Isles.|

\s[#]
Thank you. I will speak with\n
this Father Oro then. Farewell.|

## Scene 1
\g[Mountains]
\f[5|Roy]\f[2|Merlinus]
\s[5]
The resistance is supposedly\n
very active in this area.|

\s[2]
Yes, that's what our sources say.\n
But, I also hear that Etruria's\n
military is hunting  down\n
members of the resistance.|\n
Their numbers have apparently dwindled.|

\s[5]
...Etruria does nothing about bandits,\n
but oppresses the resistance?\b[5|2] Something\n
is very wrong with this picture...|

\s[2]
Indeed, it is.|

\s[5]\b[5|0]
Can we do anything to help the resistance?|

\s[2]
Our hands are tied... To do so would\n
directly oppose Etruria's nobility.|\n
We are still here under Etruria's\n
orders, remember.|

\s[5]
I'll send a letter to General Cecilia\n
and see what she has to say. Let's not\n
do anything too rash just yet--|
\s[-2]

\event

\f[1|Villager_OccupationM]
\s[1]
You! Get out of here!Mercenary troops\n
are attacking the village to find a\n
member of the resistance force!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]
\f[6|Merlinus]
\s[5]
What!? Who commanded them to do so?|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Villager_ConF]
\s[2]
I don't know! Maybe Lord Zinc?\n
He's the noble who controls this\n
area with Etruria's supervision.|\n
But I'm not waiting to find out!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]\f[1|nil]\w[5]

\s[6]
Oh no! ... But should we intervene?|

\s[5]
We haven't the time to await General Cecilia's\n
reply... But I want to help the people.\n
... Even if it means opposing an Etrurian noble.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|Merlinus]

\s[2]
Master Roy...|

\s[5]\e[5|2]
We fight! Our purpose is\n
just! Make Lycia proud!|

\s[2]
Yes... Master Roy.|
\s[-2]

## Lot & Wade Scene
\g[Mountains]
\f[2|Wade]\f[1|Lot]
\s[2]
Grr... They'll pay for this!|

\s[1]
Come on, Wade, calm down. We\n
have to be smart about this.|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]
\f[5|Wade]\m[5|4]\w[5]\e[4|2]
\s[4]
Calm down!? Are you crazy!?\n
This is Mary and Miyu we're\n
talking about! Don't you care!?|
\s[-2]

\m[1|2]\w[5]
\s[2]
Of course I do, but we're no\n
use to them dead on the ground!|

\s[4]
... ... ...|
\s[-2]

\f[5|Roy]
\s[5]
I heard shouting, is everything all right?|
\s[-2]

\f[4|nil]
\f[3|Wade]
\s[3]
... No. Lord Roy, this is our village.\n
My sister and Lot's sister live here.|

\s[5]
That's not good! We must rescue them!|

\s[2]
That's the thing, given this\n
area's weather, we're going\n
to need to be strategic.|\n
Rushing in will either leave\n
us stuck somewhere or dead.|

\s[5]
You mean the rain? It's passed.|

\s[3]
Not for long. Because of that\n
mountain, this side gets\n
rainstorms all the time.|

\s[2]
If we stick to the roads, we\n
should manage fine in the rain;\n
they're made to repel water.|

\s[5]
I'll keep that in mind, thank you.|
\s[-2]

## Wade Scene
\g[Mountains]
\f[2|Wade]
\s[2]
Grr... They'll pay for this!|
\s[-2]

\f[5|Roy]
\s[5]
Is everything all right, Wade?|
\s[-2]

\s[2]
... No. Lord Roy, this is my village.\n
My sister and Lot's sister live here.|

\s[5]
That's not good! We must rescue them!|

\s[2]
I'd love to, but... the weather\n
is going to make that difficult.|

\s[5]
You mean the rain? It's passed.|

\s[2]
Not for long. Because of that\n
mountain, this side gets\n
rainstorms all the time.|

\s[5]
Oh, hmm... Is there any way\n
to avoid that issue?|

\s[2]
We could try moving on roads, they\n
should be good enough at keeping\n
the water away for us to walk.|

\s[5]
I'll keep that in mind, thank you.|
\s[-2]

## Lot Scene
\g[Mountains]
\f[2|Lot]\b[2|2]
Sigh... Miyu...|
\s[-2]

\f[5|Roy]
\s[5]
Are you all right, Lot?|

\s[2]\b[2|0]
Not exactly
... No, Lord Roy. This is my village.\n
My sister and Wade's sister live here.|

\s[5]
That's not good! We must rescue them!|

\s[2]
That's the thing, given this\n
area's weather, we're going\n
to need to be strategic.|\n
Rushing in will either leave\n
us stuck somewhere or dead.|

\s[5]
You mean the rain? It's passed.|

\s[2]
Don't count on that. Those clouds\n
bring rain to this side of the\n
mountain all the time.|

\s[5]
Oh... And rain will certainly\n
slow us down, won't it...\n
Do you have any suggestions?|

\s[2]
If we stick to the roads, we\n
should manage fine in the rain;\n
they're made to repel water.|

\s[5]
I'll keep that in mind, thank you.|
\s[-2]

## Turn 1 Scene
\g[Mountain]
\f[2|Galle]\w[8]\f[5|Melady]
\s[2]
Were you able to ascertain\n
Princess Guinivere's whereabouts?|

\s[5]
Unfortunately, no. But a bishop\n
named Oro in charge of the mines\n
in the north may know.|

\s[2]
Very well. Then we head north.|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
Galle... I'm sorry. King Zephiel wanted to keep\n
the matter of Princess Guinivere a secret, so\n
only I was assigned to search for her.|\b[5|0]\n
I'm sorry to get you mixed up in this...|

\s[2]
Bah, Don't worry yourself.|

\s[5]
But, you work directly under General\n
Murdock. Surely you have other duties.|

\s[2]
General Murdock agreed to allow me to\n
assist you. He thinks it's vital we find\n
the princess and the Fire Emblem.|

\s[5]
... Do you think Princess Guinivere\n
has the Fire Emblem?|

\s[2]
That's what His Majesty, the king,\n
thinks. And I think he's correct,\n
all things considered.|

\s[5]
... ... ...|

\s[2]
Come now, don't be like that. I'm\n
sure Princess Guinivere went with\n
good intentions. Let's hurry now.|

\s[5]
You're right...|
\s[-2]

## Turn 2 Scene
\g[House]
\f[1|Miyu]\m[1|2]\w[5]
Oh! Are you wakin' up?|
\s[-2]
\f[5|Elphin]\b[5|2]
\s[5]
... Where... am I...?|
\s[-2]

\f[1|Mary]
\s[1]
Miyu, give him some space.|

\s[2]
Sorry...|

\s[1]
Are you awake?|

\s[5]\b[5|1]
... What... happened...?|

\s[1]
We found you lying at the\n
entrance to the village,\n
covered in wounds.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
We took you home and took care of you!|

\s[5]
Thank you... But you are...?|

\s[2]
My name is Mary. I live in this village.|

\s[2]\m[2|2]
And I'm Miyu!|

\s[5]
...You live here...\m[5|5]\b[5|0] Oh no!|
\s[-2]

\m[5|6]\w[5]
\s[6]
My very presence endangers this\n
village... ...It may even be too late...|

\s[1]
I'm sorry?|

\s[6]
I am Elffin... One of the resistance\n
force. The lord here is sure to send\n
troops in to capture me.|

\s[2]
The resistance force...?|

\s[6]
Lady Mary, you should take Miyu and\n
leave here. The village is in danger.|
\s[-2]

\r[2]
\s[2]
Mary... Do we gotta run away?|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]
\m[1|2]\w[5]
\s[2]
...No, we will stay.|

\s[6]
...Why?|
\s[-2]

\s[2]
I have a younger brother, but he left\n
with his friend next door to find work.|\n
I'm taking care of his friend's sister,\n
Miyu. She's much too young for such\n
endeavors, and I won't abandon her.|

\s[6]\b[6|2]
I understand... The most I can do to protect\n
this village is leave.\b[6|0] I thank you again for\n
tending to my wounds. Please take care.|

\s[2]\b[2|2]
Yes, you too.|
\s[-2]

\f[6|nil]
\w[16]

\f[1|Miyu]
\s[1]
I'm back! Packed and ready to go!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]\f[4|Mary]
\s[4]\e[4|1]
Don't worry, Miyu, we're not going anywhere.|

\s[1]
Really? But that man said...\n
Wait, where did he go?|

\s[4]\e[4|0]
He... left. He has important business\n
to attend to with the Resistance forces.|

\s[1]
Oh...|

\s[4]
Come on, let's take you back\n
home and unpack your things.|
\s[-2]

## Zinc Scene
\g[Fortress]
\f[5|Zinc]
\s[5]\m[5|5]
What is going on out there? Why is\n
it taking so long to find a single\n
member of the resistance?!|
\s[-2]

\f[2|CrossbowmanM-1]\fc[2|Killer]\name[2|Crossbowman]
\f[1|SoldierM-1]\fc[1|Western]\name[1|Soldier]
\s[2]
It's the Lycian Army! They've joined\n
the battle on behalf of the villagers...|

\s[5]
The Lycian Army?\e[5|2] They would betray Etruria?!|

\s[1]
Also, milord, we have received\n
a missive from Juteaux.|\n
"The Lycian Army is suspected of\n
working with bandits." The missive\n
says to take them dead or alive.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Oh, really? They have ties\n
with bandits? The irony! Those\n
fools only want to save face...|

\s[1]
Excuse me, milord?|

\s[2]
This is not the mainland.\n
The Isles are ruled by might.|

\s[1]
I'm not quite sure I understand...|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Pay it no mind. Was that all\n
the message from Juteaux said?|

\s[1]
There's more: Lord Arcard has\n
provided us with reinforcements.|

\s[5]\m[5|5]
What?!|

\s[1]
They should arrive soon.\n
... Is this not good news?|

\s[5]
Confound it! We won't get credit\n
for defeating Lycia if we're\n
aided by reinforcements!|\n
We must wrap this up before\n
they can join the fight...|

\s[1]
Understood, Milord.|
\s[-2]

\f[1|nil]

\s[2]
... Sire, you could always...|

\s[5]
You're right. Get me Scouran!|

\s[2]
At once, milord.|

You called, Lord Zinc?|

\s[5]
Burn down the village.\n
ill any who resist.|

\s[2]
...\e[2|1]Can we take the loot?|

\s[5]
Do as you wish. Just do it quickly.|

\s[2]
You can count on us,\n
Lord Zinc. Heh heh heh...|
\s[-2]

\f[2|nil]

\w[16]

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Perfect, now I have a way\n
to plant the destruction on\n
the Lycian Army as well.|

Here... I here...|

\s[5]
There's a village to the\n
south. With me so far?|

\s[1]
With you so far.|

\s[5]
Good. It might be a base for the\n
resistance. Zinc says to burn it\n
to the ground, village and all.|

\s[1]
Village and all...|

\s[5]
Good, you understand. Now get goin'!\n
Don't screw this one up, you dimwit.|

Heh, he's ugly as sin, but he's got\n

## Turn 8 - Thea/Klein and their reinforcements appear
\g[Hill]
\f[2|Thea]\f[5|Klein]
\s[5]
That's the Lycian Army...|

\s[2]
They were assigned to fight\n
against the bandits...|

\s[5]
I know. But Lord Arcard says they're\n
allied with the bandits now.|\n
Why they're doing exactly the\n
opposite of their assignment\n
is beyond me...|

\s[2]
... ... ...|

\s[5]
Thea, take your soldiers and\n
attack from the north. I'll\n
commence the attack from here.|

\s[2]
Yes, sir.|
\s[-2]

\m[5|4]\w[5]
\s[4]
Thea! Hold on.|
\s[-2]

\f[1|Thea]
\s[1]
Yes, sir?|

\s[4]
I heard that you have siblings.|

\s[1]
Yes, sir, I have two sisters:\n
One older, one younger.|

\s[4]
Are they pegasus knights like you?|

\s[1]
They are, actually. Why do you ask?|

\s[4]
I have a younger sister myself...|

\s[1]\e[1|1]
Any sister of yours must be enchanting.|

\s[4]\e[4|1]
Oh boy, don't tell her that! She'll\n
never let you hear the end of it!|\e[4|1]
Anyway, I was notified that she\n
got tangled up in some mess and\n
now she's missing.|

\s[1]\m[1|1]\e[1|0]
What? Oh my...|

\s[4]\b[4|2]
I have some people looking into it,\b[4|0]\n
but they've yet to find anything.|\n
If I didn't have this mission,\n
I would search for her myself.|

\s[1]
... ... ...|

\s[4]
Thea, be careful out there.\n
For your family's sake.|

\s[1]
I... I'll do my best, thank you.|

\s[2]
Ready then? Let's move.|

\s[5]
Sir, are you sure?|

\s[2]
Of what?|

\s[6]
Lord Arcard said Ilia's pegasus knights\n
are expendable. They should be fighting\n
on the front line, not us.|\n
Surely the lives of us Eturian soldiers\n
are more valuable than backwater mercenaries.|

\s[2]\e[2|2]
Excuse me? Don't be ridiculous. They\n
are loyal and reliable companions\n
who deserve every bit of your respect.|\n
I'll pretend I didn't hear that, but\n
if it happens again, rest assured you\n
will NOT be part of my squadron.|

\s[5]
... ... ...|

\s[6]
M-my apologies, sir.|

\s[2]
Apologies to the Ilians, not me.|
\s[-2]

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Anyway, We will attack at the\n
same time... or before them,\n
if need be. Understood?|

\s[5]
Yes, sir.|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]\f[6|nil]
\w[16]

\s[2]
How dare Lord Arcard slander our own\n
allies like that!\b[2|2] And to try and infect\n
my own soldiers with his vitriol...|\b[2|0]\n
...Speaking of Lord Arcard's, something is off.|
\s[-2]

\s[2]
The army from Lycia only arrived\n
very recently. How could they create\n
ties with the bandits so quickly...?|

Captain... Are you sure\n
we'll be all right?|

\s[5]
Is something wrong?|

\s[2]
The Etrurian army may consider us\n
disposable and send us to the front...|

\s[5]\e[5|2]
Where did you hear that?|

\s[2]
One of the other riders heard a\n
rumor from the Etrurian army.|

\s[5]\b[5|2]\e[5|0]
Pay no heed to mere rumors.|

\s[1]
But--|

\s[5]\b[5|0]
I'm certain Commander Klein would\n
never approve of that.|

\s[1]
Do you really think so?|

\s[5]
Commander Klein's not like that.\n
I trust him with my life.|

\s[2]
...Very well. Then we'll trust him\n
as well, for we trust you, Captain.|

Good. Let's go!|

Excuse me!|

\s[#]
W-what you doing?! I am enemy!|

Yes, I know it.|

Tell people escape. I have order.|/n
Destroy village. I...|

Everyone in our army is nice. They won't do/n

## Talk Roy Klein
\g[Village]
\f[5|Roy]\f[2|Klein]
\s[5]
Wait! Aren't you an Etrurian\n
commander? Why are you attacking us?!|

\s[2]
I have specific orders from\n
Lord Arcard to take you down.|

\s[5]
Can't you see what's happening here?|\n
The people are suffering from the lords'\n
abusive treatment! And you're helping\n
them. You should be ashamed!|

\s[2]
... Wait. Are you saying that\n
you're helping the villagers?|
\s[-2]

\s[5]
Yes. The lord here is ransacking the village\n
in search of the Resistance. We're fighting to \n
top him. And you're apparently on his side.|

\s[2]\b[2|2]
I had no such intention...\b[2|0]\n
My orders stated that you were the\n
ones working with the bandits.|

\s[5]\m[5|5]\e[5|2]
What?! Why would we be working with\n
bandits? We just want to clean things\n
up here and get home to Lycia!|

\s[2]\b[2|2]\r[2]
... Such nerve.|

\s[5]
What?! You still don't believe me?|
\s[-2]

\event

\s[2]\b[2|0]\r[2]
Lord Arcard has made a fool of me.\e[2|2]\n
I have been so blind enough not to see\n
through his thin veil of deceit.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
... Do you see what we see now?|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Indeed. I am Klein, of House Reglay\n
of Etruria. Please forgive me for my\n
misguided attack against you.|

\s[5]
Er... Thank you. You're forgiven.\n
I am General Roy of the Lycian Army.|

\s[2]
General Roy, I would advise you to be cautious.|
\s[-2]

\s[2]
With you against Lord Arcard, I expect\n
him to use every pawn at his disposal\n
to have you dealt with.|

\s[5]
Thank you for the advice...|

\s[2]
If you would allow it, I will join you.|

\s[5]
You will?|

\s[2]
Yes. I wish to monitor you as an\n
Etrurian commander. I should prove useful\n
as both a fighter and a diplomat.|

kind of individual is General Roy?|

\s[3]\b[3|2]\e[3|0]
Hmm... He's a tad rough around the\n
edges for a noble...\b[3|0] His hair\n
especially is an absolute mess...|

\s[5]
... Let me rephrase that. Is\n
General Roy working with the bandits?|

\s[3]\m[3|3]
No, of course not! We've been\n
sent here to vanquish the bandits!|

\s[5]
So I heard...|

people...\b[3|1] It is so embarrassing.\b[3|0]\n

I am Roy of the Lycian Army.|

You have my thanks for saving the village/n

We simply did what we believe is right.|

\s[5]
But now, you stand against Etruria.|

\s[2]
... Even so, I have no regrets.|
\s[-2]

\s[2]
We may have opposed Etruria's immediate\n
interests, but once the truth about the\n
Isles is out, they will understand.|\n
I sent  a letter to a trustworthy\n
Etrurian noble. If she takes appropriate\n
measures, they will send us aid.|

\s[5]
I would not be so sure...|

\s[2]
Why is that?|
\s[-2]

\event

\s[5]
Don't you find it unusual that Etruria\n
sent you here in the first place?|

\s[2]
Actually... yes, I do.|\n
If Bern is such a concern,\n
why send your ally to such\n
a remote location like this?|\n
Not to mention that Etruria\n
appears to be in the wrong here.\n
Why would they expose themselves?|

\s[5]
This is merely conjecture... But, was it\n
High Chancellor Roartz and Lord Arcard\n
who requested your help?|

\s[2]
... It was.|

\s[5]
Why were they so eager to get\n
your army off the mainland, I wonder?|\n
Perhaps your presence in Lycia was\n
undesirable to them.|

\s[2]\b[2|2]

\s[5]
There are rumors... implicating that\n
Roartz and Arcard are working with Bern.|

L-Lord Roy!|

\s[5]
Your country may be in peril.\n
Are you free to waste your time\n
on the Isles as you are?|

\s[6]
He's right! Bern wanted us out of\n
Lycia so they could launch an invasion!\n
We must head back at once!|

\s[2]
...We stay here.|

\s[6]\m[6|6]
What?! Why?!|

\s[5]
... ... ...|

\s[2]
It's difficult to judge what may be hearsay\n
and what may be truth. We can't simply jump\n
on this information and run back to Lycia.|\n
I am certainly concerned, but my father and\n
General Cecilia are there. The people on\n
the Isles have only us to rely on.|

\s[6]
That may be, but...|

\s[2]
If we leave without finishing our mission,\n
then all we've done here was for naught.|\n
Things will fall apart again, and more\n
people will suffer because of it.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Lord Roy, I am sorry for testing you so.|

Testing us?\e[6|2] So that was a lie?!|

\s[5]
It was the truth. However, I presented the\n
rumor in a way that you might take rash\n
action. Your leader is an admirable individual.|\n
I would join you if you will allow it.|

\s[2]
... I don't like that you tested us.|\n
But if you can help, I welcome you.|\n
Now then, back to the topic at hand.|\n
What can we do to help the people of the Isles?|

\s[5]
You should head south... towards Caldonia.|

\s[6]
Why?|

\s[5]
Castle Edina is located there.\n
It is where workers are kept before\n
they are sent to Eburacum.|

Captain! We will return to\n

Very good. Thank you for your service.|

\s[1]
Oh, and take this... Your sister\n
gave it to me before we left.|\n
Please, be careful...|

Lord Roy, are you here?|

\f[1|Roy]\m[1|2]\w[5]
\s[2]
I am. Do you need something, Elffin?|

\s[5]
Lord Roy, please take this sword.|

\s[2]
What is this?|

\s[5]
It is called a wyrmslayer. It was\n
created during the Scouring to use\n
against dragons to gain an advantage.|\n
It is effective against wyverns as well.|

\s[2]
Wyrmslayer? Is this a legendary weapon?|

\s[5]
Hardly. Legendary weapons can only\n
be used by those whose skill rivals\n
the Eight Legends.|
This weapon, however, can be wielded by\n
anyone with experience in swordplay.|

\s[2]
I see... Does this mean there\n
are other generic variants of\n
Divine Weapons like this?|

\s[5]
As in Lances and Axes? Quite possibly.\n
I would not be the one to ask, though.|

\s[2]
Hmm... All right, well thank you.|
