"It's not to hide, Jakob. Azura told me she could tell us what she knows after we jump in."

"Isn't Azura dead?"

"Well, yes, but...long story. My only worry is that I misunderstood what Azura means."

"Though considering her ghost is standing right there, I think my hunch is correct."

1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said:

"Ah, so the curse can be circumvented by simply not using the word 'Valla!'"

"..."

"Azura?"

"Why didn't I think of that?..Anyway, back to the explanation."

Would Walla be fine?

1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said:

"At one point he was a good ruler: wise and just. As an ancient dragon, all knew he would one day succumb to madness, he himself most of all. He cast a curse on himself; one that would kill him when he eventually went insane. While the citizens were sad to lose their king, they knew it was for the best. But then, a terrible tragedy happened..."

"Somehow, the curse was lifted, and Anankos's madness quickened. He laid waste to much of Valla, and those who survived lived in fear...I was three when it happened. Me and my mother, Queen Arete, were only able to escape because of the Pendant of the Waters."

Is this a retcon on your end?

Still less convoluted than what Fates did.

To start off the map, I have Michele enter this corridor...

gCprs6T.jpg

...revealing the enemies. I have her equip the Nohrian Blade I got from Visit Bonuses and move Jakob up next to her.

8mG0RAj.jpg

0hzSXzy.jpg

Thanks to the two, she takes minimal damage.

abqu1IQ.jpg

Jakob takes out the Cavalier, getting a level.

raCZt3d.jpg

Yes, Jakob. It won't do.

b7jXzyQ.jpg

Next, Michele moves up and attacks the Outlaw, gaining yet another good level.

ieCZCbU.jpg

Her Boon is now on par with her Bane, everyone!

YydbGWE.jpg

On the enemy phase, the Outlaw retreats to the fort while the Fighter attacks Michele, dealing a little damage and taking a lot. Jakob heals his mistress up...

1mWBJoe.jpg

...and provides moral support as she defeats the Fighter.

I9zy6i4.jpg

The Outlaw chips some health off of Michele, and Jakob retaliates by stabbing him to death.

f6Hox3M.jpg

We spend a turn moving, Jakob reveals the enemies, and Michele moves up with the Nohrian Blade to take their attacks.

uA5FPno.jpg

Jakob takes out the weakened Samurai...

8MP9r9m.jpg

...and Michele deals a hefty amount of damage to this Fighter.

cQ7R7r2.jpg

9oDCwq9.jpg

The remaining Vallites are taken out, and Jakob gains a level in the process.

v1gqiOw.jpg

Very nice! The extra Strength is very helpful.

KBOB5fo.jpg

Next turn, I have Michele heal in the fort and Jakob reveals more enemies.

FilW8I1.jpg

I'm...not quite sure what happened on the enemy phase. In my defense, I played this map almost two weeks ago, all right?

Anyway, Jakob weakens and debuffs this Spear Fighter...

gDRXhXk.jpg

...for Michele to take the kill. I would also like to mention that, with the Dragonstone and Jakob's support, she's practically invincible at this point in the game.

uEVswC5.jpg

Come! BREAK YOUR WEAPONS AGAINST ME!

No, wait, Fates removed durability.

zjvOZF9.jpg

Jakob defeats the Fighter, and Michele attacks this Archer subsequently gets attacked by him and his Bow-wielding buddy.

S8MXtgA.jpg

She uses the Nohrian Blade this time, and Jakob claims the kill and another good level.

Gzc700L.jpg

Another defensively focused level. I'm not complaining, by any means, however.

lgYYdnP.jpg

He teams up with Michele to bring the first Archer down to 1 HP...

wKsJ0DR.jpg

(Michele gains another level in the process. Everything she needs for this chapter! Well, besides HP)

iB2HFN8.jpg

...and she proceeds to take him out.

CwBU0z1.jpg

The dynamic duo defeat the last Vallite in this room. Now...looting time!

f0KCO8y.jpg

Quite nice!

rbZsTQW.jpg

Cheaper than buying one!

PSw9t54.jpg

This should be useful in the near future!

I have everyone heal up, and Jakob scouts out the next room once again.

s3m3fAl.jpg

Good thing we got that Armorslayer!

xi33C6d.jpg

Michele wasn't able to move up all the way, but Jakob can deal with this Knight easily enough with her help.

caagurM.jpg

I then have him Pair Up with her to assist in her Dragonstone tanking.

MB1csc8.jpg

f0vvY27.jpg

Only the first Vallite attacks us, so Jakob is able to pick him off safely.

TlgqCyW.jpg

He gains a level, too! Magic is pretty good for now, but I plan to switch him into Great Knight once I find some units to replace his current roles. (*cough* Mozu *cough* Sakura *cough*)

TCIvKpN.jpg

I have Jakob plop Michele into the corridor, only to realize that scouting ahead only works if you Wait there.

qdRgLnX.jpg

"Gunter! I should be surprised that you're still alive after falling into the Canyon, but...well, the same happened to us."

"Hans threw you in, too?"

"Technically, Ganglari did, but then I was saved by Lillith, but then I jumped in later...it's a long story."

89ELBIp.jpg

Now, Gunter may be terrible as a unit, but his Personal Skill and Pair Up bonuses make him a great Support partner for the Avatar in the early chapters of Revelation. Also in the two Pre-Choice maps he appears in.

...Also that one chapter of Conquest.

NSzN9za.jpg

Now, we could charge in and take out the boss now...

I0Ugdiu.jpg

...but then we'd miss out on all the yummy experience and loot!

Jakob's growths aren't that bad, but he always gets RNG screwed for me.

The good old Bobland loophole.

I love how Gunter can't even Jeigan well.  Doesn't he already have the worst stats of your group?

He beats both Jakob and Michele by one point of Defense, and Michele by two points of Speed and one of HP, but besides that...yeah.

iuzaj8q.jpg

Jakob scouts ahead behind to reveal a Knight, a Cavalier, and a Ninja, the former of which is promptly one-shotted by Michele.

bWOpBYL.jpg

The Cavalier attacks her, taking not insignificant damage in return. 

i18y0PA.jpg

He is taken out shortly afterward...

eWvVuzj.jpg

...and his Ninja friend is damaged.

5m7setw.jpg

Oh, sorry, did I say "damaged?" By that, I meant brutally murdered. Afterward, we open the chest to find...something. Either 5,000 gold, a Steel Sword, or a Killing Edge; I lost the pictures, so I don't know which treasure was where.

1yPKWrb.jpg

Next, we scout out the next corridor and brace for impact.

SQYRPQX.jpg

Damage taken is minimal. (Read: nonexistent) On our turn, I have Michele attack this Archer, bringing him below half health.

P3DkN5O.jpg

Then, Jakob takes the kill.

IOlL3f4.jpg

Also, Michele gets another level from Dual Striking! The HP and Speed are pretty good, and the Magic is helpful for using the Dragonstone, but the enemies haven't really been getting crit rates (even low ones) on her, not to mention the fact that her Bane is once again higher than her Boon.

9oaqrxi.jpg

The Samurai proceeds to attack her, dealing zero damage and taken a lot more than zero damage.

DqojkEa.jpg

Jakob takes the kill...

mHrAT6Y.jpg

...and Michele moves up to bait out the Ninja.

hD0LsbA.jpg

On the next turn, she attacks him but sadly misses.

1EH26DY.jpg

Zqr0A7O.jpg

YTdN2CN.jpg

I'm...at a bit of a loss as to what happened here. Rest assured, people attacked, and people were killed.

1iPP2vz.jpg

Scout, brace for impact, etc....

APZky8P.jpg

Jakob gets a kill...

Qp4YcqK.jpg

Michele damages this Ninja...

2y9a12c.jpg

Michel moves up while Jakob hides in a corner...

e8KgUbb.jpg

Healing...

JxJojn8.jpg

Vallite killing...

sZh3i83.jpg

Good level-ing...

rXtIhQ0.jpg

More killing...

Now we just have the long trek back to the boss room.

(One long trek later)

8cGdjbc.jpg

OK, we're back! Michele baits out this Oni Savage.

MgjTB5g.jpg

Ooh, he gets one-rounded.

zyuftbq.jpg

Then, she baits out this Samurai and that Archer.

RXgnP8e.jpg

Jakob defeats him, gaining a level.

qZ9onqH.jpg

Strength! Very nice!

OUoQxgP.jpg

The Archer is also effortlessly one-rounded. Only the boss left!

Now, the boss doesn't move and has no ranged weapons...you know what that means!

Q5vqoOv.jpg

BOSS CHIPPING TIME!

7AeB5Zu.jpg

Oh, hey, a crit. Pretty nice; that'll speed things along.

1asr3CF.jpg

Another one? I've been getting a lot of low-percentage crits on this map...

V3Oz5LK.jpg

...That's right. Jakob just got three 7% crits in a row.

IynTVO2.jpg

Needless to say, the Berserker dies...with magnificence!

H0v7Dzj.jpg

He gets a good level from it, too. As if it hadn't been rubbed in the boss's face enough.

MQVm4Ix.jpg

With that, the stage is complete.

"That's them taken care of."

"Did we really have to go back to get the treasure, Lady Michele?"

"Every little thing counts, Jakob."

(Transparent purple figure appears)

aMuVfxw.jpg

"Whu- Who are you?"

"That does not concern you, dragon. It is forbidden for outsiders to explore these lands. I admire your strength, so I will grant you some leeway. However, if you fail to extricate yourself within...let's say, fifteen minutes...well, finding an exit will be the least of your worries."

"...Michele, there's a pond just outside of this cave; I think I can use my pendant to temporarily open a portal."

"You think?"

"She thinks?"

"Who are you two talking about?"

"It's our best chance; we need to go, now!"

(the three run off)

"Hmph. I'll have to talk to Master Anankos about increasing security around here...that woman seemed familiar, though. Why did it hurt my head to look at her?"

                                                            *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Phew...it worked. We're OK."

"Speak for yourself, milady! Do you know how much water I got up my nose?! *cough* My throat feels like it's going to curl up in a corner and die."

"*chuckles* Anyway, there are more pressing matters at hand. We need the forces of both Hoshido and Nohr to defeat Anankos. We'll start recruiting in the former, considering that they're significantly less likely to murder us on sight. All in agreement?"

(Gunter and Jakob both say "aye")

"Excellent. Just one more thing...and it's between me and Azura."

"Azura? Wasn't she that princess that was kidnapped by Hoshido? If you need to talk to her, where is she?"

"To put it bluntly, old man, she's dead. Long story."

"Azura...you seemed to recognize that woman. Was she..."

"Yes...she was. Arete...my mother. How did you know?"

"You have the same hair. Still, this knowledge...that Anankos can control others..."

"He can what?!"

"As far as I know, only the deceased of Vallite ancestry. That's what those transparent purple soldiers are. Of course, I don't know the full extent of his power. We best be wary."

"Ever wary."

I just wanted to let everyone know that, since I'm grounded until mid-July, there's going to be a hiatus until then. Sorry about the inconvenience.

(Michele wakes up)

*yawns* "Well, that was a nice sleep."

EDiQmdE.jpg

"Good morning, milady. How was your nap?"

"Wonderful, Jakob! I feel more refreshed than I've ever felt before! It's as if I slept for a week!"

"Three weeks, milady."

"...Ah. That would explain it. So, what have you been up too while I was comatose?

FjP6G3l.jpg

"Well, I've mostly been gathering resources and keeping the place tidy."

4wo4PyB.jpg

Yk5RLN3.jpg

"Also, these people showed up from somewhere. I'm not sure what they are. They can't seem to talk, and they spend most of their time playing checkers in the Lottery Shop."

(Michele Jr. was created with one Chris. I'm not sure if they're one of the people who reads this LP, but if they are, my guess would be Hawkwing.)

"Wow, you really are on top of things, Jakob!"

"Oh, there's one last thing, Michele...an old friend of yours is waiting at the castle gates."

"An old friend? Who could it be..."

tgd3Moj.jpg

"ROAR!"

dr59R4o.jpg

"LOUIE! Oh, I've missed you soo much! It's great to have you back! Thanks, Jakob!"

"Think nothing of it, milady."

"Oh, who's a good boy? Oh, guess what, Louie! I can turn into a dragon!"

"Wait, she can?"

"Hmm...that would explain her natural affinity for wyverns."

"Anyway, we should probably set off for Hoshido soon. According to Azura, the best place to get in contact with Hoshidan allies is Fort Jinya. It's only about five miles off from the current Deeprealm gateway."

"Excuse me, but would you care to explain what you're talking about?"

"Oh, sorry. I forgot you were a bit out of the loop. You see, this place is located in a Deeprealm; that is, a pocket dimension accessible from the main world. However, a person can only enter it through one specific point. That point can be moved, but it takes some time and energy. Lilith says that during a battle is the optimal time to do it, since my fighting creates a lot of dragon vein power. Apparently."

"...I see. Carry on, Lady Michele."

"MOTHER!"

qOwZ6xJ.jpg

"Well, looks like we'll be having a bit of a detour. Come on, Gunter!"

NucXk1h.jpg

CwS7KD4.jpg

"There! To the southwest! A survivor!"

"We best reach her quickly, milady, before the Faceless do!"

Now...let the Paralogue begin!

RZ04XFH.jpg

UoFm199.jpg

I have Jakob Pair Up with Michele, and have her and Gunter move into the trees to bait the Faceless.

FSAnIZk.jpg

Predictably, it goes for Ol' Jeigan, and is brought down to 2 HP in return.

zmm9WX7.jpg

Michele takes the kill, gaining some 3 EXP.

iyJfT4u.jpg

She also helps Gunter kill the other Faceless, getting him more EXP than Michele. I am...bemused, to say the least.

0FQDlPJ.jpg

I move our army up, with Michele baiting out this other Faceless.

hT73AZA.jpg

I give Jakob the kill in order to see if he gets more EXP from these guys than Michele. He doesn't.

PelMOIR.jpg

Next turn, he kills this other Faceless in an unnecessary zoom-out shot.

f4DPqmU.jpg

I...uh...move Gunter up. Also Jakob, somehow...

U3px1sT.jpg

How did...? Ugh...I only played this map two days ago, I should know what happened!

rUjhedp.jpg

This happens.

xZAM8yb.jpg

Wait, this was supposed to happen before that last one.

Well, I could basically insert this picture anywhere in the map before I recruited Mozu, and it wouldn't be out of place.

f9kl2XQ.jpg

DbtDhOe.jpg

Anyway, Jakob hands Michele over to Gunter and heals him.

FfZEncR.jpg

Unfortunately, he has just barely not enough movement to reach Mozu this turn. Blast.

Next turn...

vZHaMBG.jpg

hmCAOWN.jpg

qU8ttBp.jpg

"I know what it's like to lose someone close to you. It's something I've experienced far too many times."

"*sniff* You too?"

"You need to get to safety. We'll cover your escape."

bE48e5S.jpg

W7FRg8h.jpg

Thus, Mozu began her path to ultimate power.

Jz7wBPY.jpg

HIP0GWc.jpg

In the meantime, Michele drops Gunter, who proceeds to Pair Up with Jakob...

Qq09qAT.jpg

...who proceeds to ORKO this Faceless.

4tA6AwF.jpg

Michele is attacked by this Faceless, what with being in his range. He takes quite some damage in return.

K7SemCQ.jpg

Mozu couldn't kill him without taking a hit, so Michele waits. I also move Jakob up.

yGaGZvf.jpg

She takes quite a bit of damage from the two. Luckily, Mozu is here to pick off...

dlan90i.jpg

(and to level, as well. Very nice!)

cHcZsTq.jpg

...and Jakob is there to heal.

LPjaZru.jpg

I move Michele up to protect Mozu from the Faceless.

zkFdj4b.jpg

With the Faceless having been weakened, I move Jakob to the left and attempt to get Mozu some axe WEXP. She lands the hit, and gains a level to boot!

kbuxPTd.jpg

WOW that's a lot of +1s.

92Run0l.jpg

Next, I have Michele bait out this Faceless with her Raider Axe. With Jakob's help, she successfully brings it down to 1 HP for Mozu to-

DVLxYSM.jpg

Never mind, Dragon Fang. Oh well, at least it pushed her over the EXP threshold! Let's see what she gets!

HSlyCGk.jpg

...

Triceratops she's gone full Jeigan

NZXgXM9.jpg

*ahem* Moving on...I once again have Michele bait out these Faceless. Hopefully she doesn't crit or Dragon Fang again...

C2k1EnC.jpg

Oh, she just one-rounds them. *sigh*

0sbGiGS.jpg

Hey, Jakob got another 7% Crit! 

XPZuzck.jpg

This time, Michele uses the Bronze Axe to bait. I'm not taking any more chances.

ddcT8Z1.jpg

Success! Perfect Mozu Fodder!

YOfZmnG.jpg

More axe WEXP...

bG7TGYT.jpg

More moving up...

IqDhtby.jpg

More baiting...

y4oWIni.jpg

More kill-picking-off...

wR7I3q7.jpg

More leveling...(is it bad that I'm reacting so nonchalantly to such a great level?)

1HnZtiv.jpg

Baiting, blah blah blah...

LdCpn60.jpg

Jakob is still the new RNG master.

ivPtPed.jpg

I have our faithful Male Anna weaken and debuff the WAIT A MINUTE.

Jakob's name is, in fact, Jakob. Jakob can be shortened to "Jake"...

Portrait jake fe11.png

WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE ORIGINAL ANNA'S HUSBAND!

(X-Files Theme Song)

Ok, back to the Let's Play.

lSmOwlj.jpg

Time for some calculations (9+4) on the Player Phase + (9+4) on the Enemy Phase = 26 Damage, leaving the boss with a mere 2 HP! Nothing can stop Mozu from getting this kill-

YJf6C3V.jpg

Deinonychus. Of all the times, Jakob.

c1qi0OX.jpg

For what it's worth, Michele did get substantial EXP from the kill. Anyway, with the boss gone, all that's left is to mop up the survivors!

6rJ8dB9.jpg

Our narcoleptic hero gets into position to bait this Faceless, and Jakob heals her up to full.

DdcF274.jpg

Mozu takes out the weakened Faceless and gains a level.

wdw1ybo.jpg

What a disappointing level!  Only four stats, and one of them is basically useless! How did you miss your 80% Speed growth?!

Oh well. You're still amazing, Mozu.

gD275LW.jpg

And if there's a reason I'm still alive

When two people have died

I'm willing to bait for it

oPHP60L.jpg

Mozu takes the kill, ending on level and gaining another.

AUpknwJ.jpg

Now, that's more like it!

Lmpmdv9.jpg

"...So, what now? All my family and friends have fallen to these monsters."

OWhRUWy.jpg

"No..nobody...except maybe...your group?"

"Hm?"

"I want to join you, and help you fight...whatever it is you're fighting. I can tell your cause is a noble one. I can see it in your eyes...that, and sleepiness."

"Are you sure about this?"

3mQarnN.jpg

"Plus, you seem pretty young..."

"I'll have you know I am 15. An adult, by Hoshidan standards."

"Really? Huh...that's a year older than by Nohrian law. Well, I'm happy to welcome you in. But..if you ever feel the fight is too much for you, promise you won't hesitate to escape."

"I promise. Of course, now that I've discovered my natural talent for combat...that probably won't be often."

Since Mozu is technically an adult, you better get her hitched to breed your soldier kids before she dies.  Believe me...

It looks like the photos from the second half of the post didn't load for some reason.

I’ll try, but I’ll likely become paralyzed with indecision and wait to marry her off until I find out which of Michele’s marriage candidates aren’t picked.

Protosaur. Curse you, imgur. That, or your internet is bad. They always show up for me, but, then again, I did upload them.

(Michele, Mozu, Jakob, Gunter, and Azura's ghost approach Fort Jinya)

"So, Lady Michele...is it OK if I ask about this mission of yours?"

"Certainly, Mozu. You see, while I was born a Hoshidan princess, I was kidnapped and taken to Nohr at a young age, where I was raised in Castle Krakenburg until the age of five. I don't have many memories from that time, except for a few foggy ones of King Garon. They did fit with Xander's description of him: a proud, yet troubled ruler, and a stern, yet kind, father."

"All that changed when his wife, Katerina, died mere hours after giving birth to the youngest Nohrian royal: Elise. My father was stricken with grief...but not only that...he changed...and not for the better."

"What happened?"

"He grew more and more seclusive, and more and more paranoid, until, at the counsel of his chief advisor, he sent me off to an old fortress, where I was to be trained in combat day and night. He said I was not to be allowed at the castle unless I had proven myself worthy of being a part of the great Nohrian war machine. I remember my first night in the Northern Fortress distinctly; I hid under my bed and cried my eyes out until I fell asleep."

"That's awful!"

"It was only for about five minutes. I fall asleep very easily."

"No, I mean, the fact that your own father practically imprisoned you in that fortress."

"Well, it wasn't that bad. I was taught swordplay by Gunter, and Flora, Felicia, and Jakob were always ready to take care of my every need."

"Here, here."

"Not only that, my siblings were allowed to come by and visit anytime they were free to. Camilla taught me how to ride Wyverns-"

"Scraw?"

"-and introduced me to Louie. Don't worry, I didn't forget about you, boy."

"Xander would give me training tips and spar with me, Leo and I read aloud to each other and tried to practice magic, and I got to see Elise grow up before my eyes. The years passed, and all my brothers and sisters had honed their talents to the point where all of them (barring Elise) were highly ranked within the Nohrian army. And yet, they still always made time to come and visit me."

"One day, Camilla arrived with great news, father wanted to see me at the castle! When I arrived, I was given a rather suspect sword and ordered to defeat and execute some Hoshidan prisoners. We were able to take them down, but, in the end, I wasn't able to kill them. I just couldn't bring my sword against weak, helpless prisoners. Thankfully, Leo was able to fake their deaths, and we set them free soon after. At the moment, I had felt like my inability to follow those orders was a sign of weakness, but Xander assured me it was a sign of strength."

"Next, I was sent on a mission to investigate a supposedly abandoned fort along the Bottomless Canyon. Long story short, I ended up being captured by one of the Hoshidans I spared and brought to the queen, who happened to be my mother. I had originally planned to leave for Nohr as soon as I could, but then..."

"Then...what?"

"...Queen Mikoto was going to make a public announcement of my existence, but a mysterious, transparent purple figure took the sword Garon had given me and shattered it, causing an explosion that killed many Hoshidans...including my mother."

"..."

"Then I turned into a dragon and killed all the purple people."

"Umm...what?"

"I don't how either. Anyway, I realized that there was a greater force at work here...one that had sent those purple soldiers...one that had manipulated father...one that had started this war."

"I went to the border with the Hoshidan royals and tried to explain things to everyone, but they just ended up fighting each other. Afterward, Azura took me and Jakob down the Bottomless Cayon-"

"...I'm sorry, did you just say you went down the canyon?"

"There's a a portal to another world in it. Azura explained that the ruler of that other world was the one pulling the strings in the war, and also that the country's name had a curse on it. I can't say the name outright, but I will let it be known that it starts with 'V,' and ends with 'alla.'"

"So its name is-"

"DON'T SAY IT! You'll dissolve. We'll call it 'Walla' in discussion. Anyway, I plan to report these findings to Ryoma, who will hopefully believe us and subsequently back us with the power of the Hoshidan army and such...now, I need a nap."

(Michele climbs onto Louie and falls asleep)

"I'll wake her up when we get there."

(Yukimaru walks up)

"Yukimura!"

"...Michele."

"I respectfully request an audience with Ryoma."

"I'm afraid that's impossible. He recently left with a battalion of soldiers to stage an attack on the Nohrian army."

"Blast. Well, may we enter Hoshido? Possibly inform you of our discoveries."

"...I'm afraid not."

"Hmm?"

"I have very strict orders from the Supreme Ultimate Leader of Significance: none not allied with Hoshido may be permitted to enter it, and Princess Michele is not to be listened to under any circumstance."

"...I'm sorry, the what?"

"Ryoma appointed Takumi acting ruler before he left, and he insists we refer to him by that name."

"Ah."

"If you truly wish to travel through my country...you will have to fight me for it."

"Very well...battle stations, everyone!"

Man, Anankos couldn't get intent worked into the vaguely overpowered spell that dissolves people talking about the country he devastated to prevent loopholes.

That is the mark of a stable genius.

Supreme Ultimate Leader of Significance

"Ryoma appointed Takumi acting ruler before he left, and he insists we refer to him by that name."

I am unsurprised at this.

So...funny story with this update. I was about halfway through when my mother required me to do my chores, as expected of me, so I closed the tab, expecting Serenes Forest to save what I had done. It did not. With that in mind, please excuse me if my commentary is a bit bland and threadbare. It's reflecting my emotional state.

Gunter Pairs Up with Michele, who (rather than follow the expected turn of events and leave this Savage at 1 HP) activates Dragon Fang, killing him. Diplodocus, Michele.

People get moved up and stuff.

Meh. Defense and Luck, though.

Oh no Jakob is damaged what shall I doooo

Have Mozu murder them of course.

Behold my tactical genius and clever weapon suage.

Ninja attacks Mozu, Ninja dies, Mozu gets level I forgot to screencap.

OK, I'm back. First off, Jakob uses the Dual Shuriken the way it's intended to be used, unlike the last time where the Iron Dagger wasn't powerful enough to kill the Samurai.

8VG47t5.jpg

Next turn, Jakob baits out the other Archer...

x2ertSO.jpg

...for Mozu to take the kill.

(Several turns of movement later)

Next, Michele baits the Oni Savage out of his corner.

oM6MDJR.jpg

...Well.

This is even more convenient!

Gyu6s7v.jpg

Dogpile!

Finally, Mozu takes the kill, and a level!

It's a lot better than your other levels this chapter!

The Ninja is baited, damaged, and finally, defeated.

Mozu and Jakob...bait out Saizo and Orochi, while Michele (with Gunter's moral support) head off to launch a precision strike against Yukimura when the coast is clear.

I KNOW IT SAYS SO ON YOUR TEXT BOX :awesome:

I9CVhch.jpg

He is duly one-rounded, getting Mozu a great level.

Oh man, Orochi is even more pathetic.

YrpT3pc.jpg

Jakob and Mozu nab the Wyrmslayer before moving up to join Michele.

oB7ujVu.jpg

Michele weakens him...

...for Mozu to grab the kill and an awesome level.

With that, the level is over.

"You've certainly proven yourself, Lady Michele."

"Thank you, Yukimura."

"Why are you complimenting her? The death of Queen Mikoto-"

"Was caused by Garon's scheme's. Michele was, at worst, an unwitting pawn in it."

"Did they not ransack this fort for valuables?!"

"Sir Saizo, if I may, I would like to point out that the soldiers quite literally threw us the keys as they escaped the battlefield."

"Are you insinuating that members of our army are supporters of your...frivolous conspiracy theories?!"

"Saizo, I have fulfilled my duty to the...Supreme Leader of this and that the best I can. I see no harm in letting Michele proceed."

"...I do."

LDeQnNH.jpg

um6ES3C.jpg

"Brother, no!"

OfYnO9P.jpg

"Hmmm? Princess Sakura?"

ZZi7tbB.jpg

"Why are you interfering? I'm defeating a traitor to our kingdom!"

"Saizo, I have utmost faith in Michele's loyalties. I know that, though she cannot side with Hoshido, she does not intend to side against it. Even if it were not so, your life is not worth giving up to kill one enemy of our country!"

"D-don't do it, Saizo! Listen to what Michele has to say! Th-that's a royal order!"

"...Fine. Speak now."

"Thank you, Sakura. This war is not the fault of Hoshido or Nohr, but that of a third, secret kingdom. Its name is rendered unspeakable by a terrible curse, but I can tell you that it starts with 'V' and rhymes with 'Walla.'"

"So...Val-"

"Don't! Why is everybody's first instinct to try to say the word that will dissolve anybody who says it?! Anyway, the mad ruler of this kingdom is an Ancient Dragon known as Anankos, who manipulated King Garon into attacking Hoshido, sparking this conflict. The rest, as they say, is history."

"Hmm...a likely story. Do you have any evidence to back your outlandish claims?"

"...Blast. I knew I was forgetting something."

"I, for one, believe Michele. Sakura and I will be happy to assist in your mission."

"Thank you, Kaze. And Yukimura, might we have permission to enter Hoshido?"

"Of course. Just one more thing...Michele, while I doubt I will be able to join you on your quest, I want you to know that I support it wholeheartedly."

"Thank you as well, Yukimura. Sakura, you best gather your retainers so we can enter the portal Lilith made."

"...You have a portal?"

Next Time: Michele Dies. She Gets Better.

Oh, well, images don't want to show up for me.

Great leader, Ryoma.  His first action as acting king is to leave.

I'm using Imgur, though I'm not sure if it's just me and my computer or others are having the same issue.  My laptop isn't top-of-the-line, but it isn't ancient either.

I upload them from my iPad Air, and then post them on a...well, it's a Dell computer. ...It's got Windows 10. If anybody else has this same problem, let me know.

Also, anybody think I should start putting updates in spoilers?

Pre-Battle:

Spoiler

9BIAijT.jpg

"Hello, Jakob."

"Greetings, milady. Is everything fine?"

"Jakob, I'll be frank: your current place in this army is...somewhat superfluous."

"Really?"

"Yes; not only do we now have two shuriken users (one of them being trained only in shurikens), but we also have a dedicated healer. Because of that, the combat side of your Butlering is a bit redundant. Don't lose heart, however! While Gunter is very helpful for supporting my combat, his actual combat abilities are somewhat...lacking. With that in mind, I'd like for you to take his place as 'armored horse-mounting combatant.'"

"Well, I am trained in equestrianism."

"Heh, I know. And since you were kind enough to bring over my old mount, I thought I'd return the favor."

"Neigh!"

"Preston! It's been quite a while!"

"I'll go grab some gear for you...that is, if you're up for it."

"Well, it's as I always say..."

yBkom4R.jpg

Before we set off, some forging is needed, and everyone knows the best part of forging weapons in Fire Emblem is giving them silly names!

eeAA6Fd.jpg

We make a +1 Raider Naginata for Jakob...

GW6kRu8.jpg

...a +1 Iron Shuriken for Kaze...

...and a +1 Ryoma's Club and Paper for the convoy.

In addition, Michele gets a +1 Raider Axe...

 2yAewyQ.jpg

...and Subaki, a +1 Iron Naginata.

Meanwhile, at Castle Krakenburg...

"Heheh...so, Michele knows the truth...no matter, she'll be dead soon, and my master's glorious plan will be fulfilled...HAHA!"

CGQVhCD.jpg

"I know Michele said you were being controlled...but this is even worse than I imagined!"

urt0OMg.jpg

2QNf6cb.jpg

"Camilla, this is too important not to get involved! She could've found out important information-and from what father's saying, she probably has! If Nohrian soldiers kill her, they could accidentally be dooming the world, for all we know!"

"I understand that, Elise, but we can't rush in rashly. Before we even think about joining up with Michele, we need to find out where she is, and then we have to figure out a way to leave the castle without father noticing."

"*sigh* You're probably right. I'm still going to keep listening here to see if he knows where she is."

"All right...but stay safe."

"This climb is exhausting! Remind me again why I can't just ride Louie up?"

"High speed winds."

"Ah."

"Um...wh-who are you talking to, Michele?"

"Put simply, Lady Sakura, she's talking to Azura. Yes, she is dead; she came back as a ghost that only Michele can see and hear. None of us are quite sure how."

"Oh...c-c-can she still hear m-me?"

"Yes, actually."

"She says yes."

"Ok-k. So...hi, Azura...I, uh...missed you a lot, but...well, I'm happy that I can still talk to you..."

"She's behind you, by the way."

"Oh! Sorry. So...uh..."

YtDtkli.jpg

"Yes, since it's a neutral nation, we should be able to avoid conflict while we find a way to contact other potential allies."

"She says yes."

"OK...th-that's good to know..."

"..."

"...So...you know how you would always tell me ghost stories? N-now you are a ghost...I hope that wasn't insensitive..."

"Don't worry, I'm not offended."

"She says she isn't offended."

"OK, that's good."

"..."

"RAARGH!"

"Faceless! Mozu, you take the one on the left! Jakob, get the right one! I'll cover the middle!"

(Mozu strikes once, backflips to avoid an attack, and then creates illusory copies of herself, slowly walks forward, then strikes thrice. Jakob jabs his Faceless, then defeats it with an upward strike. Michele slashes twice with her axe, and then uses Dragon Fang to fly up and shoot a blast of water at her opponent)

(Faceless illusion wears off)

FrGOdtk.jpg

"These aren't monsters; these are...who are they?"

"W-wind Tribe soldiers! They probably saw us as monsters, t-too!"

"Who could have done this?"

(In the distance, Zola chuckles and teleports away)

"Sakura, heal them up, quick!"

"R-right!"

(One session of healing later)

"Th-they're still unconscious, b-but their wounds are healed. just some rest, and they be fine."

"Hmm...our mounts can carry them to the village, but the chieftain will want an explanation for the unprovoked attack."

"Well, let's look at it this way: nobody was killed,  and we brought them back. They'll probably be willing to listen to us."

"Good point, Mozu. Let's just hope they follow your train of thought..."

                          ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

EldEVI1.jpg

"You'll pay for this!"

"Hold up! Can you not see their still living bodies that we're gently laying down here for them to recover? Is this the behavior you would expect from a knowing, willing attacker?"

"...The village girl has a point, Kento."

"Fine. We'll listen."

Guwm50W.jpg

"However, we did so because some malicious illusionist had made them appear to be Faceless to us-and likely, the other way around, as well."

"Hmm...I'd say you better see the chief."

"I do. You're the leader of the Wind Tribe, right?"

ackNNe3.jpg

I KNOW IT SAYS SO ON YOUR DIALOGUE BOX

"And you are the one known as Michele. I have heard much of you."

"Really? What have you heard?"

yYVx0dE.jpg

"That is...completely wrong."

"Hmm? I see you wield the sacred Yato blade."

"Well, I have it, I don't technically wield it battle..."

"It is said that "he (or she) who holds the Yato is the key to peace"...but I have my doubts if it is truly you."

et0DoRK.jpg

"I can vouch for Michele! When I was helpless prisoner-from the opposing side, mind you-she refused to execute me. Not only that, but her ties with both Nohr and Hoshido make practically predestined for this role."

"I see. Michele, if you are, in fact, worthy of the Yato, prove it to me in combat! Wind Tribe battle arena, 10 minutes."

"I'll be there!"

Our starting position.

First, I Pair Up Gunter with Michele, who damages this Ninja over here.

GKBzrfm.jpg

Next, Sakura, with the help of Jakob, activates this Dragon Vein.

The Spear Fighter is subsequently dogpiled.

Now, you may be worried about Sakura, but I've done the calculations; she'll be fine! Nobody's dying this turn-

Wait is Michele in the range of that Archer

ABORT ABORT

 giXyPOx.jpg

NOOOOO!

QQCqqG1.jpg

...Triceratops.

LZgBxiv.jpg

...Well.

I know I said that if this happened, I'd restart the game with a new avatar...

bBUDZzM.jpg

...but you know what? I'm not gonna. I've spent too much time on the story of Michele and her quest. If I started a new game, it just wouldn't be the same Let's Play anymore. There would be no more RNG God Jakob. There would be no more "Isn't Azura dead?" jokes. There might not even be any more "I know it says so on your text box."

To be honest, Michele was the jackpot for the greater story that this will eventually end up as. Jamie would have mostly just taken Corrin's normal actions out of naivety. Same for Jordan, except he would have out of dumbness. Plus, I've grown attached to her.

So here's what I'll do. I'll start the chapter over again, except I'll permanently discharge one of my units in exchange for Michele living. Sound good? Good.

Next Time: Tyrannosaurus THIS CHAPTER

I found Revelations really lacking in early game tanks, so class changing Jakob seems like a decent move.  I just love my healing to much to switch him over in my runs.

Are you randomly deciding who to discharge?

I have some pretty exciting long-term plans for Jakob, which I hope will come to fruition soon.

I’ve actually photoed a bunch of chapters in advance, and I picked which units to fire myself. Of course, if you think it should be done randomly, I can start doing so.
