Part 58: Affiliate LI - To recall nosotros were all played then easily…
To recollect we were all played and so easily… -OR- Love Will Rise Again, Part 1
Previously On:
Chapter 15: Even at present, I don't like to go to the bath alone
… It's an ancient castle left to ruin. At present it's but habitation to legions of monsters and beasts. Why in the globe would she select such a dangerous place to meet? No matter how I try, I cannot make heads or tails of the decision? Nevertheless, I will go.
Thank y'all, Blitz. Words cannot fully convey my gratitude. … But, honey Charlotte, why did you decide to run across in such a perilous location in the first place? Though thank you to me requesting Rush's help, we were able to rescue you…
What do you mean? Paris, y'all were the i who decided the coming together identify. Yous wrote me not a fortnight back.
What!? I never wrote such a letter.
Chapter XXV: You owe me a corpse, asshole!
It's an of import hub on the way from the mining city of Royotia. Pretty much all goods going from Royotia laissez passer through Balterossa. From at that place, they continue to Elysion, then all over the continent. After all that, by the time they make it all the way here to Athlum, goods from Royotia have a pretty heavy markup. Then, we've started talks for making a trade route from Balterossa straight to Athlum.
Chapter XXVI: My centre was the only casualty
More than girlfriend troubles, right?
East of Balterossa, deep below the Neat Sand Bounding main, lives a very kind onetime seer. Charlotte and I would capeesh it if you would escort us to him.
No prob!
I hate to involve yous in our personal intrigues yet again, merely you accept my gratitude. Our parents refuse to acknowledge our love. Throughout the time we've been kept apart, nosotros've communicated in secret. But at present...we are tired of all this secret - keeping our truthful feelings in the shadows, as if we are shamed by such a matter! We've decided to elope. The seer has agreed to keep usa for a short fourth dimension. Afterwards, we'll abscond to some identify far, somewhere nosotros may be together.
Who's at that place?
By ridding the world of the 2 of you lot, our organization volition be able to spread joy to many, many people.
Augh!
Hmph. At that place is no demand for me to explain. All I'll have to explicate is how I institute the two of you lot - victims of lovers' suicide!
Yes, I'm fine. Paris...I'm sad, I can't do this. I tried, but...I demand to be at Female parent'southward side.
Why? You believe that the times we spent together, the feelings we shared were naught more than illusions created by the seer?
I simply - I can't...
I... I come across... ...It's alright. I knew that someday, we would have to face the cruel truth of our state of affairs. I only hoped our borrowed time would have lasted longer...
Paris, I still -
Allow us render... Back to where each of us belongs.
Music: Gateway to the Due west (Balterossa Theme)
Merchant: Lately things've been a bit more muted... Lady Bertrude has been suffering from some strange illness, and that's all anyone can talk virtually.
Information technology'due south the same every bit Royotia.
Yes. Nosotros'd meliorate await around boondocks.
New urban center, so permit's talk to the people over again.
Tao Tie-Admiring Kid: So, I was listening to Daddy talk to some rich-looking guy... He said that Ms. Lady Bertrude was real sick an' information technology was all the Tao Tie's fault! That guy's gotta be fibbing! The Tao Tie's always took skilful intendance of us, so it wouldn't practise annihilation bad like that!
Aristocratic Man: Lady Bertrude has fallen deathly ill. The boondocks's merchants accept travelled far and broad, bringing back different medicinces to try and cure her. But it has been to no avail. Her condition has steadily worsened... What foreign illness could have struck Lady Bertrude downwardly?
Charlotte'southward Admirer: So lucky! I wish she'd give me some bedside intendance... hurr hurr...
You lot're pretty creepy, dude.
Charlotte'due south Admirer: A-anyway, she's always been dainty - and then delicately congenital, like she could fit in your pocket! Merely lately she'due south been losing weight... At this rate, Lady Charlotte will fall sick likewise - and without me there to catch her! I-I have to do something!!! ...Is what I was thinking, but for some reason, they won't let me into the castle. *sigh*
You lot're lucky they haven't let you into the dungeon.
The Duchess is an incredibly potent woman, taking care of Balterossa single-handedly afterward her husband passed. She is much admired. If the famed trade routes of Balterossa are able to save her life, I can't think of anything more than advisable.
The Silver Falcons have received some troubling information from Intelligence... Some entity is attempting to accept reward of the Duchess'due south illness to inflame relations between Balterossa and Royotia. Past the name of the Silver Falcons, we will do our best to avoid war at any cost.
This seems important.
Elegant Madam: Even so, I was drawn to its shimmer and would gaze at information technology for hours. I can't quite say I've ever shaken the habit! But recently, it's seemed a little foreign. Every so often, the Tao Tie seems to lose its shine... Like its heart had gone cold. Ahh, possibly it's just the ramblings of an former biddy... I hope that'due south all information technology is, at least.
And then apparently the Lady of Balterossa is sick too. Let'due south have a visit.
Lately it seems my torso will not hold to my spirit'southward wishes… It'due south almost equally if some strange ability tries to command me… Thursday-this moving ridge… could it exist…
Bartender: Oh, a new discovery from the famed scientists… intriguing. Beloved daughter, shall we have a trip to Athlum to see what the fuss is about?
A-alright…
That's actually an important sidequest which touches on the main plot, but we'll be putting it off until we accelerate the main plot.
Hey, pardner, didja hear? The dominate o' this here country'due south been sick fer a long spell, an' ain't any o' the medicines helpin' a lick. While on the range, I rode into some other country an' they were singin' a similar vocal. Reckon this bug is only hittin' majestic-types? That sure don't sound too likely, though...
Oh, yous again. Heard nearly you from the commander. Granted, you don't look similar much, simply I hear you're not also shabby with a sword. Next time we have an anti-monster functioning, join u.s.. Lately, we need all the aid nosotros tin can get.
In that location really is some other op we tin can do for Caedmon, but we aren't doing information technology today.
Wise Old Homo: I really worry for Lady Bertrude... She is deathly ill, and getting worse every twenty-four hours. For her to get from continuing proudly at the head of our country to lying in a sickbed... How could this happen? Or - could information technology be...? The expletive of the felled warriors of the ancient desert kingdom...? Is it possible in that location was truth to that story? ...Ugh, I don't want to think about it!
Uh, mayhap?
Charlotte-Struck Girl: Obviously she bankrupt up with her fellow! Information technology's the accented latest news. And when you hear who it was, y'all're going to flip. it was the son of Royotia's Marquis, Paris! I mean, seriously, that man is fine. And y'all know he's gotta be a passionate and skilled lover. *sigh* If it were me, at that place'd exist no way I'd let a catch like that go!
She's continuing right there…
What'due south up?
It really seems as if Balterossa and Royotia shall go to war. Already strengthen our armies... For a long fourth dimension, Royotia has tried to build its own merchandise routes, independent of Balterossa's interest.
Oh yes, I remember I helped them notice 1.
But Mother is strongly opposed to this. Royotia seems blind to the trials of non only creating a major trade road, but protecting it from bandits and beasts who would set on it. For them to even attempt to enforce a level of security on the road would take countless lives. Yet through the blessing of the Tao Necktie, Balterossa can and has kept the Keen Sand Body of water nether command for years. I agree with Mother... It is best for everyone if Royotia continues to use our roads. Just Royotia refuses to accept this, and guerilla insurgency in Balterossa has spread... Female parent is certain it is officially sponsored. Merely, to go to war with Royotia without whatsoever solid show... Tell me, Rush. Is this war truly necessary? Volition no one try to stop it?
There might exist i guy...
Paris... Yep, if he... If we tin - Sir Rush... Volition you help me in a task? I need to stop this war!
Don't gotta ask me twice!
Cheers so much. Yes...I shall go to Royotia! Paris is the son of the Marquis. Surely he can do something!
Accepted quest: Love Will Rise Again
Balterossa and Royotia are at each other'southward throats. Charlotte asked me to with her to Royotia. Who can say no to such a cute gal?
With this, Charlotte leaves and we can't find her. Only she was headed for Royotia, so let'southward go there. (We could too actually get to the Balterossa castle as well, but Royotia makes more sense.)
Well met, Rush Sykes. My son has told me a lot about you lot...
No expect, let me explain! I didn't know the squid was in there!
Practiced things, don't worry! It seems that yous've helped him out of many a pinch.
Right. Virtually that war…
Royotia is continually robbed of the profits information technology rightly deserves past Balterossa's exploitation. Ending that cycle and gaining control of her own trade routes is my country's greatest wish. Withal that woman ignores our rights on baseless whim, and instead blames us for her ain security issues. Information technology'due south as if she wishes to bring us to war! And if that is so, we shall show her what the men of Royotia are made of. We shall establish our routes, and if we must fight, and so and then be information technology.
Where's Charlotte?
That's the Duchess'due south daughter, isn't it - the 1 plotting to hoodwink my son? As if I would know her location. The strumpet can die in the gutter for all I care. More importantly, might you have an thought as to where Paris could have gotten off to? We're on the cusp of war, and he's disappeared... Surely he hasn't gone to encounter that trollop? He knows that
is besides dangerous correct now!
HINT HINT Hey guys I think maybe we should check out Lavafender
Charlotte, we haven't much time. We must bring Rush upwards to speed...
Oh, yes!
There's no dungeon crawl to search for them, you simply encounter them. That'southward a good idea, because we don't demand a dungeon crawl on pinnacle of the residuum of this update.
It was to induce Royotia and Balterossa to deploy their armies, and and then use a legion of monsters to completely destroy both forces.
And he just left those letters sitting effectually for anyone to find?
The messages were coded, their true content hidden in innocuous-looking phrases, so information technology took some time to decrypt the message.
Someone was trying to manipulate our countries into state of war. Female parent and Paris's father both brutal for their tricks...
They took advantage of both our relationship, and Father and the Duchess'southward distrust of each other. To think we were all played so hands...
Paris...
Off to Royotia!
Nosotros should caput to Royotia first, aye? The troops are making their stand at the Salamander's Belly. Let us hurry, then that we may salvage the Balterossans as well!
A invitee spousal relationship has joined the political party.
This option matters less than you call up. Nosotros have to practice both battles anyway, so information technology'south really "which should we fight FIRST?", and yous fight different enemy compositions depending on which order you do the battles. I don't think it makes enough of a difference to bear witness off both versions of the battles. And then, we're off to the Salamander'due south Abdomen! (I call up we've been hither once before for The Ancient War.)
Music: Shell the Odds
- Battle Video: Salamander'south Abdomen
Paris joins united states of america for these battles. Nosotros have to spend the commencement turn closing in to become anywhere.
The Godwood boss monster appears at the terminate of Turn 1.
Sorry.
That'south hilariously pathetic for a dodge-counter. Pagus at this point is worthless for physical attacks, and so I really promise you don't accept him use whatever.
Circumvolve their flank!
On the other paw that is pretty great damage for a normal assault, even with the flank bonus. I'm wondering if this is more of a do good of a invitee union'southward additional stats, but I don't recall other invitee unions doing huge impairment.
Yay!
Land Mine does some damage and lowers an enemy's AP. I've been neglecting item arts, then before this update I stopped by some towns to pick upward supplies so I tin actually use them.
Blitz and Emmy's unions have managed to finish up pretty far from the others.
Got 'em!
It's startling how good Gabriel has gotten on this playthrough. I think I should rotate my unions to give Violet and Glenys more than of a amend chance to shine, without Rush's overpowered arts stealing XP. When I next go to look for components, Rush is going to be benched, and Glenys volition take the atomic number 82.
Music: Turn the Tide
Just marching.
I take everyone stand by or defend, because as soon as 1 union engages the Godwood…
…some more reinforcements appear. Simply those are really optional – you just have to take out the Godwood to win the battle. Merely I'll kill him last for more art XP.
Support is a high-level Remedy, which does the work of iii potions at once. (Information technology'south nonetheless not not bad).
Watch this!
That was all Caedmon. Earthrender is super-powerful. The scary thing is that Caedmon'due south been grousing at me for weapon upgrade materials (Raptor Hibernate) for ages, which means his weapon is outdated and he'south set up to upgrade. The actually scary affair is that there is still a higher-level art by Earthrender.
Your life is over!
With the extra forces over, everyone left to move targets the Godwood.
Looks like that injure!
Blitz deals almost 15k damage by himself.
I love big numbers.
Spoiler warning: There'south no way the Godwood will live through this turn. Which is actually too bad, considering I was trying to trigger a Massive Strike.
Have a sense of taste of Athlum's Strength!
19k damage.
We'll wipe them out at once!
learned 
Nimble Acala's Wrath IV!
learned 
Quadrille!
class changed to Adept Cleric!
And that's the beginning boxing done. I reach BR 33 at the end of it. This update was going to break 100 images and probably too the 50,000 character limit, so we'll have to end it hither. The adjacent one should be fix soon, though, since it's more often than not washed already.
Torgal learned Quadrille - the ultimate Quad-wield art – four rapid strikes, ane with each weapon.
New Arts Summary
learned Nimble Acala's Wrath 4!
learned Quadrille!
class changed to Good Cleric!
On a test run, I got a Massive Strike on the Godwood, so I'll testify that off.
- Video: Massive Strike
One thing I learned about Massive Strikes is that if the boss had survived another turn, ALL our units could perform a Massive Strike on the next plough – not just two, ALL of them.
Boxing: Salamander'due south Belly
Massive Strike
I'll be doing another component hunt to upgrade my political party members weapons. While doing this, I'll record a agglomeration of footage and bear witness off new arts.
Poll: Should I include full videos of the battles where I use new arts, or just brusk clips of the new arts?
Next Fourth dimension: Together, nosotros can bring many people happiness.
