I can't wait to see Sain wooing ghosts to the afterlife. How many chapters is this Hack ?

Ten. It's a lot, but we'll get there.

the dream made him alot stronger tho right?

That's exactly right!

...Wait... that might raise a few questions...

fuck it, you are playing this too slow and fuck the ragefest i am working on. I MUST PLAY THIS NOW! I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!

Aww... I guess 2-3 updates a day isn't enough for a hack like this... oh well, can't really go any faster.

The CHAPTER 3 PRELUDE: PART 1 OF 3:

Yes, that's right! ANOTHER 3-part prelude! This probably won't be the last multi-part prelude either! PREPARE FOR DIALOGUE!

WkJW9o5.png

Hastily scribbling a note to indicate he's left on his QUEST FOR WOMEN? That's a Sain thing to do.

ZAhRBFr.pngt6HeOxZ.png

Far away from any civilization, naturally.

ftxqCWD.pngKRvt4eb.png

c78ipEC.pngnVAloOK.png

I'm eager to discover it too. What if it superbuffs Sain's wooing stats?

kOH4i6W.png

BUT GHOSTS CAN'T POSSIBLY EXIST

PtUpkFM.png

And now...

oaSMRYR.png

To spend an awfully long time NOT looking at the treasure hunt!

mvfIX1f.png3spmpmT.png

Lyn: I can’t tell you how much it pleased me to hear of the plains.

Rath: Lyn… When you return to Sacae, please visit my tribe.

adGkNsZ.png

I wonder if this ties into EN at all.

Lyn: Thank you, Rath. I’ll take you up on that offer one day. I swear it.

wjWEUdc.pngpkZm88z.png

Wil: Yup. We’re gonna spend a few more days in Caelin before we head out.

Rebecca: Wil promised he’d show up around town. Heehee.

zHx6SrM.pngGVWGAwV.png

Fiora: Yes. I wish I could stay longer, but I have duties to attend to…

Kent: …Of course. We understand.

Kent totally wants this lady.

V4czf58.pngplW1G83.png

Wait, someone actually cares?

Kent: …..

Lyn: About that… Sain’s not here. He left for Bern.

Fiora: Bern? But why?

Lyn: I’m not sure. All he left was this note…

Kayp79U.pngm3vZ5hn.png

Gee Sain, you sure did a good job of explaining things.

qxCMO25.png

Lyn: I’d never expect him to do something this impulsive.

Kent: …My apologies, milady. Perhaps I should not have scolded him so harshly yesterday.

Lyn: Don’t beat yourself for it, Kent. You know Sain. Nothing can keep his spirits down for too long.

Kent: Ye—

?

MZlqR9R.png

Oh, naturally!

WovxJOS.png

Greendier: We—

4zEgHti.png

Magic effects!

7Jh7pNX.pngy0sMO28.png

SOMEONE DYING!

tOkJgb2.png

Random... shaman... person...?

XK3D1Yb.pngkmO0j9q.png

Really UGLY shaman person! Pink hair, and it's a guy!

Lyn: What? Who are you! Explain yourself!

Shaman guy: Now, now. No need to get so riled up, my dear. It doesn’t suit your… fair complexion. I’m not here to harm anyone. So long as you and all your lady friends come with me.

Lyn: What? No way! Who do you think you are?!

Shaman guy: If that’s how you want to play, my dear…

pGsoNNQ.pngJqJWirA.png

Pffft, a few soldiers? We're the heroes of FE7! Lyn and the others can take them, right?

7IfDyNl.png

Okay, so maybe it will require some uber tactics, but-

1Ze73zJ.png

...Yeah, we're done.

qVCxBtb.png

Shaman guy: Now come along now, darling. Or I’ll command my army to go on a killing spree. This is your… final warning.

vhm47iW.pngxSS68BQ.png

No Kent! Your stats are lame compared to Sain!

Shaman guy: Hahaha! You? You think you can defeat me? Hahahaha!

nYau0Ih.png

Huh?

0XlSya2.png

More MAGIC!

1GUCORA.png2UnVmML.pngRzZelRM.pngebRwtYs.png

He can cast Sleep spells without a staff?

acHCpBi.pngWpJkLfh.png0dX0cHy.pngtXFvvja.png

Wait, why don't you just kill the men while they're helpless to resist?

So... while Sain was gone, all the ladies from FE7 got kidnapped. Not that he could have done much if he was there, but still.

i1zk8fF.png

Huh?

6l2g54S.pngCmhP2cL.png

So, as you can see, Emily got a revamped portrait, which doesn't quite match up with her old one but okay.

fOg4cai.png

Her leaving seems to be met with stoicness by her father...

Emily: Will you not look me in the eye?

Mayor: …… If this is what you truly desire… So be it.

Emily: ….

Mayor: But…

tJBvltm.pngWst4qD5.png

Emily: You know I have.

Mayor: But Emily…

Emily: I made an oath to myself seven, years ago.

uhAZj9C.png

Sheesh Emily. These could be your last words to him, be a bit nicer!

Mayor: …..

NbiV2dF.png

GEEZ!

Ss9gy5O.pngVyacDa4.png

Maybe you could've said that to her face...

KelBsC5.pngMntuYV9.pngyzvN8SB.png

Let's hope he interaction with her friends goes more smoothly...

Nellie: You totally look like a real soldier now!

Shana: Nellie’s right! That’s your mother’s armor, isn’t it?

Emily: …..

UzfX24s.png

Come on, don't be so mean!

rMg3Fc9.png

Okay, that's better.

Shana: Every day, Emmy.

Nellie: Yeah, yeah!

74IpKRm.png

Oh, great...

Mv91WKq.png

Bandits! And the only defender is the earlygame peg lady!

gxHTSOK.pngr1PrixD.png

What?

Bandude: And would ya look at that. Three little girls ripe for the taking.

d4qNUDB.png

Emily: If you want a lance through the face, come try me!

Bandude: Oh? How about your friends? I suppose we’ll go nab them instead.

hB93jey.png

You guys probably should have just ran!

eje3r9H.pngLV10gKx.png

Do you REALLY have this?

Nellie: Ahh…O-Okay!

6eCM9Hn.png9r8wA2n.png

Civilians out of the way!

AQ29vn7.png

Nellie: You picked the wrong day to show. I’m in a bad mood!

Bandude: You’re a feisty one, aren’t ya…

bZuydnj.png

And then, EMILY ATTACKS THE BANDIT BOSS!

Will she win? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!

The CHAPTER 3 PRELUDE, part 2 of 3!

Now, for the epic battle between Emily and Bandit guy!

shCUUnU.pngLQxV0Pr.pngh5CjWVk.png

Welp.

DNqJDNQ.pngdtP3yw9.png

Her stats were worse than when she fought Sain!

gJjz37d.pngwPaCckZ.png

Mr. Shaman comes...

Creepy shaman dude: So, did you…find…any more lassies?

Bandude: Got me one right here. There were two other village girls, but they got away.

Creepy shaman dude: Village…girls, you say? Pfft. Small fry… This one…will do…

M4Y6iVC.png

When did you become Mr. Ellipse?

M01Vayv.pnghriw2d4.pngjmu420P.pngGh7HApS.png

The girl had been rescued by Iskar, btw.

JJjGqOF.png67GUExD.png

Oh, wow. Looks like magic is taking his spirit energy or something.

Creepy shaman dude: I’ve reached…my limit…I’m afraid… Too much magic…leaves my body…weak…

Bandude: You overexerted yourself again!? What’s wrong with you? You’re supposed to be a powerful druid!

qFpByQF.pngmAjK6rF.png

With a face like that, I can't see this guy getting buff.

Creepy shaman dude: I can…cast spells of…frightening power…but my body…is frail…

8td01uw.pngqf0aceF.png0rbNI9n.png

That's so sad, but is he really a sympathetic character?

FhRct90.pngp491TCN.png

Not to Iskar, apparently.

Creepy shaman dude: No…no more…power… I warped…all those soldiers in the castle… back to Bern… I can’t warp…anymore…

2qlX5gT.png3OGOf9e.png

Bandude: That will take three days! At least!

Creepy shaman dude: I am…so tired…good night…

VXqDlnV.png

This must suck for the bandits.

I2oUKrm.png

Bandude: C’mon, grab the boss and run for the hills! We don’t know how long that sleep spell he cast on ‘em Caelin Knights will last!

ubQwux5.png

Off they go!

ki5sbA6.png9z76yl9.png

Why do you serve him, then? Why does ANYONE serve this guy?

ZWJ8L2H.pngqTvMrYE.png

The bandits run, but one lags behind...

wOGaGRE.pngwGOk2xT.png

...Unfortunately for him.

StkiTkD.png8ANa9yM.png

Put the shoe back on, then!

OxVaf6Z.png

Banrunt: I should’ve helped ransack Castle Caelin! Then I would’ve been back at the base by now!

EugaZVW.png

"ransack Castle Caelin"? Wrong thing to say, bandit.

n9O1Tun.pngVDkS7zo.pngHFuaLdW.pngZaWnyHh.png

Rath just straight-up wrecks the guy. Was the arrow really necessary?

wapriib.pngBMuC4Bf.png

Banrunt: H-Hey! I… whoah! N-No need to point that thing at my face! I’ll talk, I’ll talk!

Rath: …….

Banrunt: Uh, well, you see… Boss wanted to collect all the strongest, pretty women in Elibe.

lVJ9Rw7.png

...Seriously?

Banrunt: Boss said with an army of women on his side, he’d finally be king of the world… That’s why he invaded the castle, and that’s all I really know! I swear!

MKI30DV.png

Rath: Lyn…

9bT6UWf.png

Banrunt: What? You mean the men in the castle…? Like I said, my boss is only interested in women. He probably put all the guys to sleep with his magic or somethin’.

Rath: Where did your boss go?

CB7E8Lj.pngCzOVriJ.png2y5Boqc.png

Rath's ellipses are like individual daggers that stab into very painful places.

Banrunt: I’ll help ya! I’ll lead you there! Please spare my life! Please! I’m beggin’ ya!

Rath: We’ll gather our forces and give chase.

sYoKAyb.pngljmOcOf.png

yoJ9hVC.png

And so, we finally cut back to Sain and Darec, for the actual chapter premise!

ZYOM56v.pngihS7wvL.pngpGav8Iq.png

I honestly like this old guy, he has personality.

Sain: Whoah. It looks pretty dark in there, wouldn’t you say?

2QSwN7T.png0DP8mCp.png

Yeah, Sain! Forget oil or charcoal! Alcohol is clearly the best heat source!

Darec: You heard right. Turns out this whisky’s really strong stuff!

nBVvPGL.pngnG0ofof.png

The Whisky actually goes into Darec's inventory. Yes, he's helping.

Darec: Anyway, about that cave. Let’s enter it, shall we?

Sain: Of course! What are we waiting for?

naBu0Xr.png

NEXT TIME: Inside the spooky cave of darkness!

I know, I know, I was joking.

Forgive me, I tend to have trouble with recognizing jokes. No, seriously, I get flak in real life over my inability to take a joke.

Moniker, just out of curiosity, what kind of hack would you enjoy more: One that is so bad that it almost becomes good, as in it gets kind of a strange grandeur into it, or one that's okay, but not great. To put it in other words, what kind of hack would you prefer: A hack that is So Bad it's Good, or one that is So Okay, it's Average? WARNING: TVTROPES LINKS! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Personally, I have always liked "So bad its good" hacks, as I think one of my best LPs was the "first part" of the CT "trilogy", before the quality increased slightly and actually made things worse as a result. "So Okay its Average" tends to kind of bore me, though I've always been good at struggling through them, with a few exceptions that are so painfully average even I couldn't handle it. And of course, actually GOOD hacks are great as well.

In addition, how much I focus on humor as opposed to showing off everything an LP is inversely related to the quality of the hack.

And I've pretty much read 75% of the normal trope pages through at least 40 well-wasted hours, don't worry about tv tropes links with me!

Let's finish the prelude in...

The CHAPTER 3 PRELUDE: Part 3 of 3!

And now, we return to...

FUlnz5V.png

SAIN IN THE CAVE!

Sain: T-This cave… it’s so…

Darec: Desolate? No, that’s not the word… but there’s something different about this cave. Huh. What an eery feeling.

Sain: I don’t get it.

rTdAnAU.png

To be honest, that seems like a question a lot more protagonists should be asking!

gOn1skr.pngZQE2dWP.png6765Cnn.png

And now, for the super long backstory of the stone! PREPARE FOR TALKING!

Sain: Princess who?

Darec: Tamero. She was the most stunning woman of her time. Or so the stories say.

1KiFdzu.pngTGfHoaw.pngZNCNxvb.png

Sain, you would probably go into a coma.

Darec: It gets better. As an only child, she was the sole heir to the kingdom of Bern. Beauty, power, riches, brains… She had it all. Needless to say, every eligible prince and noble in Elibe sought her hand…

tIEz4jQ.png

Sain: Zagaren? You mean…

Darec: Yes, THAT Zagaren.

???

Darec: At the time, he was the Etrurian Mage General, and a reknown scholar to boot. Tamero was sent to study magic under his tutalage. Eventually, Zagaren proposed,

uN4i9Ng.png8thcnT2.pngXfwDBck.png

I wonder what stone it is?

Sain: The Stone of Zagaren?

Darec: What do you think? Anyway, the offered stone was so breath-taking, Tamero couldn’t help but accept Zagaren’s proposal.

I personally don't think basing love on how pretty a gem one obtains is a good idea, because then a lot of dudes would be out of luck. Of course, there's nothing saying Zagaren and Tamero didn't actually love each other.

Darec: She immediately arranged for a convoy to return to Bern, so she could ask her mother, Queen of Bern, to bless her marriage. But on the way back home…

BU4ECqI.pngCxRaQL0.png9IIOGni.png

That's so sad...

Sain: No! That can’t be!

Darec: Poor Zagaren… once considered the luckiest man in the world… no one suffered more that day than he… When news of the tragedy reached Etruria, the normally cool-headed sage lost himself in his emotions.

GqWhyKc.pngGxsxre2.pngcD6zhTz.png

Wow, ALL of them?

7ugewaK.pngTNeH2Ie.pngGWzrmoe.png

Darec: so he hid it away in this cave. Folklore says the spirits of the bandits who killed Tamero guard the stone to this very day, as punishment for their actions.

The bandits who killed Tamero... Well, they probably don't exist! At least, not anymore!

Sain: Poor Zagaren… To lose the very love of his life! That could kill any man thousands of times over!

Darec: …Indeed.

f6OnI7l.png

Yes, thank you! Let's PLEASE move things forward!

DyhSnKX.pngo5aCDVg.png

The background didn't even change!

8rPkDcm.png

Sain: Well…I was just thinking…

zQL3ViE.png

Wow, what are the odds of that?

Sain: Now that I’m here, I won’t be able to protect Lady Ly—

d6UYoBs.pngOu4KSe4.png

Sain: …..

Darec: Besides, there are other knights in Caelin, are there not? I’m sure they’re competent enough to guard Lady Lyndis in your absence.

Sain: …I suppose you’re right…

Darec: ‘Course I am! Now C’mon! Let’s go!

D06SigM.png

The map reveals itself! It's... some kind of weird maze?

f8VXuh3.png

Sain: Uh, Darec?

asiPIiy.png

Uh oh...

Darec: Oh ho! What’s this? Doubting my skills as a treasure hunter, are you?

Sain: Well, I—

Darec: Believe me! This has to be the way! It just…feels right!

Sain: If you say so…

EHCvX9u.png7uk8VcY.pngixYuQtD.png

OH NO!

THERE ARE ACTUALLY GHOSTS AFTER ALL!

I wasn't expecting that!

plJAtI9.pngdxSy9qD.png

Up they go...

i9L9qtS.pngQYagUCz.png

Darec: We’ve found it, boy! And not a single “spirit” in sight. I knew those legends were all hot air!

KfmHB1t.png

Don't tempt fate, Darec.

UgGCwi8.pnglJnUa5L.png

As did I, Darec.

afXf0zY.png023YXPT.png9ixZlOq.png

Red text? Do we HAVE to die to win the chapter?

Luckily, no.

Ghosty: Just as the men before you!

X1sVLi4.png

Magic wall! Luckily, we can leave through-

zM9zwGA.png

Magic wall TWO!?

8D7babs.pngbbsFkr2.png

Nowhere to run... nowhere to hide...

Sain: It really is a ghost!

OkIErR7.pngmujGz1x.png

You get 'em, Darec!

dePtWCf.png

He's got-

6f3hGwr.png

...well, crap.

amxq8a0.pnggPSr9c1.png

Is it over? WILL WE DIE?

ZMJO0IJ.pngCsXVFHi.png

No Sain, they can't seriously be-

wLe0Mce.png

-Man, I'm getting interrupted a lot! Are they seriously FEMALE ghosts?

ETOIUPD.png

She actually looks kind of pretty and ethereal! Good job on the portrait, Cedar!

zcHC4QX.pngNxg3ug1.png

Sain, no!

Darec: What are you babbling about, boy?

0pUNGhZ.pngONqr9rT.pngWe3BcV5.pngfV857Zy.png

Sain's serious now!

nHdDbT0.pngHdRMclk.pngvrUwTru.png

Sain gets no less than two new songs! Looks like he had time to practice on the way, and he really IS going to use it on the ghost ladies! I throw out the old bad one and the Red Wine, since Darec has healing... probably.

You know, I might have mentioned this earlier, but another thing I like about this hack is that Cedar makes sure to give you everything you need, and never requires you to desperately hold onto everything from earlier chapters JUST IN CASE. In fact, with 5 item slots, doing so is pretty much impossible.

ckmfYot.pngb2qg0ex.png

He's getting a, uh, maiden!

HKjBLRB.pngtCg5F6G.pngsxISIza.pngq7wypxA.pngKmRBvvR.pngGBQYkMl.pngpWSj9hU.png

aR3NxLQ.png

And then she DIES. I screenshotted Sain's entire wooing spiel, because you ALL needed to see it in full color!

W3n7uAL.pngP68cQTL.pngNiqmpMH.png

And now, THE CHAPTER ACTUALLY STARTS!

END DIALOGUE

rYMIVOb.pngUME54mw.png?2

CzQ71YU.png?1kv2MpGA.png?1

The map is tiny, and doesn't immediately appear to be full of enemies. However, LOTS of stuff is going to happen, very quickly!

k4OyjTh.pngPAr5Mo3.png2WdeN3O.png

To begin, we have the new recruit into Sain's quest! Darec actually has very good stats, considering his portrait is the "helpless old guy". He's not going to be disintegrating the minute we run into trouble.

BoKRhkn.png

First Aid is actually a STAFF, that Darec can use to heal Sain. That's why I wasn't worried about Sain's healing. 20 uses isn't infinite, and it doesn't heal fully, but we should have more than enough.

Also, as you saw in the cutscene, ALL the enemies have maxed defense, and so, whil Darec is the first character we control who has actual weapons, they are ABSOLUTELY USELESS against the ghost.

W3h6jfl.png

They AREN'T useless against the walls, however! For some reason, they're incredibly resistant to Sain's wooing(which hits Resistance), so Darec gets to kill these!

NEXT TIME: Sain's desperate quest to woo the undead begins!

Make sure to try and Woo the crack, there's actually some dialoge if you do that.

What? NO! I MISSED SOMETHING!

I'll go back and record that, I promise!

Time to get some ghost maidens in...

Maiden Quest: Episode 4: Chapter 3: I Can't Even Think of a Title that Adequately Describes This

tm55grn.png

Let's bust down this wall!

g6FFSXM.pngHbRJhxl.png

If it wasn't obvious already.

0EjJtKa.png

Wha-

MDKvapw.png

Did those swordsmasters just teleport right next to me?

oHI6U0L.png

Ow! At least Sain can take it.

n9JS89Y.png

Player phase and... they're GONE!?

Okay, let me explain how this works. Every turn, on enemy phase, a bunch of swordsmasters warp to the spaces around Sain and Darec. And on player phase, they warp out again. The ONLY way to kill them is with counter-attacks. Which Darec can't do, for two separate reasons! Luckily, we can win just by shoving Darec into a corner!

9K9SuhG.png

Which of course, I'm too stupid to do. Let's use a torch alcoholic beverage instead!

0DBaFzF.png

Hmm... Nothing, just like I thought.

(No, I can't scroll down any further. We seem to be out of ways to proceed...)

l3Rbdza.png

Here they come again!

hbRgnpf.png

Lucky for me, all around Sain!

pP8KXO2.png

They're the same swordsmasters every single time, so any damage they take sticks. This is some weird-yet-good eventing, right here.

KqOo6px.png

Come on Sain! Go out with a bang!

uk6Y3KV.png

Totally a good idea!

llVgytW.png

It took me a while to figure out the solution... Darec took a lot of hits.

mtCmuRF.png

Eventually, we win!

ISWkitI.pnglWkZsny.png

And Sain MAXIMIZES his wooing potential! NO LADY CAN RESIST HIM NOW! Who needs the Stone of Zagaren?

3P04KaF.pngBGioCBq.pngAyMGJ6F.png0e5YmXC.png

Killing all the swordsmasters opens the way forward! Go us!

iTSsLnF.png

Way ahead of you.

FYrtMA7.pngEpVtllY.pngIXxo1Cj.png

Now's a good time to heal. First Aid really is a vulnerary!

hPTJ2zS.png

Good thing we did that! Lots of ghosts ahead!

wQdIHnm.png33l6S6K.png

Speaking of which, this is what they're stats look like. Note the maxed Inv and relatively low Res.

SXp0cdi.png

I SAID, Darec, note the maxed Inv!

F6P3Tiq.png9TEX73u.png

Invulnerable or no, nothing stands a chance against Sain!

Iq7omPW.png

Darec is a liability, but he's not useless either.

8ZZvGjy.png5eG0vUw.png

Sain wrecked EVERYONE this chapter.

FNKdc8U.png

Even the Valkyrie, it just took him longer.

A2izth2.png

Something spawned back there...

XSv42eU.png

Darec moves to scout. Bad decision.

XBEDQAz.png

FOR THEM!

86oDJK2.png

This poor old guy, those spears can't be good for his health!

5PIDBVS.png

We open the next wall, and discover...

SNYxqJA.png

A pegasus! Note the Delphi Shield, Darec doesn't have a hope with these ladies either.

PzVbJjD.png

This guy's going to have arthritis by the end here, AT LEAST.

SF9TJEs.png

Things should be left to "Sain the young 'un!"

aXLxUjb.png

Ah hah... Got luck again... haahhhh...

3IuS2lr.png

You think you can keep the crack safe?

PA7X2xZ.png

WRONG.

RbgIO0L.png

Something spawned back here again! To prevent you from just staying still, reinforcements sometimes come at the start.

yE0Qtko.png

Darec uses a torch. I don't like what I see.

jkWz356.png

He also gets a (bad) level from using the staff.

uqtnSBX.png

Sain Serenades the ladies, and Darec lets us move on again1

LoNkQK3.png

Great. Looks like those reinforcements are catching up to us.

1SdDdxZ.pngwqULmi2.png

LA LA LA YOU HAVE AN ETHEREAL AURA LA LA LA

1xI7Fjv.pngSu9GFA8.png

Almost there... is there anything left standing in our way?

xix4daY.png

The answer is VERY MUCH yes!

Finally, we reveal the boss, standing on the temple thing...

cRPWtv9.pngIUnjmUg.png

WHOAH.

O5CMCZj.png

At least we don't have to worry too much about her speed WIT!

dsad0xU.png

She's surrounded by 2-rangers, and as I try to pick them off...

fETP9uB.pngUBM9KIB.png

So, you thought you could hide from me, eh?

(Honestly, there's been a lot of crit weapons in this chapter. Glad I saved the Iron Rune.)

QgCpAPU.png

This last defender...heals? Okay. Still confused on how you "heal away" Sain's wooing.

WFMYRV5.png

Suddenly, I find myself wishing I had chosen different positioning...

k3HHW2W.pngEwUx6ef.png

Jade: What did you expect? Monsters? Demons?

3BJeJ2W.png

Nymph? Really?

fhHCeHF.png

Sain: Truly, your beauty was a shock to me, oh fair one. But what a splendid surprise! I wouldn’t have it any other way!

kKUD8HW.png

It's funny because it's literal!

Jade: You will gain nothing but an open grave.

Sain: But—

Jade: Enough banter. It’s time for you to die!

Sain: Ahh!!

And then Sain DIES.

I really do have to be more careful.

I don't really need the Red Wine, but-

Fs8sdBo.png

-HEY! NO! DON'T YOU HEAL ON ME!

dybKfWO.png

I got it, even though it's pointless!

r1fLY1s.png

MUST. SEE. DIALOGUE.

dS2mNrA.png4NvvCdR.png

Okay, nothing special.

Now then, let the ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN commence!

5WirIn0.png

Sain opens with some empty praise!

LXWrV0Q.pngRi9LIND.pngyRsRwqc.png

And yet, despite her(multiple) attempts to deny him, Sain simply ignores her sharp insults...

wGEdyk2.png

...to deliver a beautiful and poetic finish!

yzb2wSt.pngeGKVOG1.png

And that's the end! Next time, we see the conclusion to this thing! WILL THEY RECEIVE THE TREASURE?

That nomad was just wow. Those earrings were legal?

Well, she WAS a bandit...

But what if the stone is his promotion item?

*cue old man yelling at him for destroying a priceless artifact*

That would be great, but the hack kind of goes in a different direction...

Time to see if get some ghost maidens in...

The CHAPTER 3 CONCLUSION!

0iJMnst.png

Our wooing was so amazing, we polymorphed her into an ordinary nomad!

9rFWygn.png6Y5tU7v.png

Jade: I can’t remember…

Darec: How astonishing! To think the bandits who killed Tamero… were all women!

Sain: And incredibly stunning women, nonetheless!

Of course you would say that, Sain.

Jade: … … … You really think us… stunning?

Sain: Oh, milady! Even the dreary darkness of this cave cannot help but melt away in the light of your radiance! No ghost, no monsters could ever have features so fair! Surely, you are a forest nymph, an angel from on high!

Jade: Hmm. Angel… You know… When I was alive, I murdered many people. Innocent people. Women and children… I am hardly an angel, knight.

Sain: Ah…

CqisakX.pngkT1HsIb.png

This is actually kind of cute...

SLTctWs.pngHMZRb3Q.png

*sniff* WHERE DID THE EMOTIONS COME FROM!?

zd6lh28.png

Jade: Do what you will with it. I care not. It binds us no more.

Oh wow, she really is going to just give it to us!

4MHKHhl.pngg6Wlsgw.png

Goodbye, Ghost lady! Thank you for being cooperative!

QOP3D7a.pngc8z0WxW.png

I think you'll live, Sain. Come back for her when you STOP living.

um4KXSu.png

Darec: It is… just as glorious as the legends say. Karen… Can you believe it? The stone of Zagaren… I have it in my hands. … … …

I still wonder about this guy's past...

PDjrd9G.pnggHAetST.png

Darec actually gave him the stone? For real?

Sain: Wow, this… It’s the most beautiful stone I’ve ever seen!

Darec: What did I tell ya, huh?

Sain: Thank you, Darec! I don’t know what to say!

Darec: Neither do I. Heck, without your help I’d probably be dead! Gives me the willies, just thinking about it… But enough of that. What do you say we get out of this cave, fast?

Sain: I couldn’t agree more! Warm sunlight and fresh air, here we come!

yTwDes2.png

I STILL think Darec pulled the "ol' switcheroo", but my memories of the hack can't quite recall...

BEKliyK.pngHlmd03G.png

The ghosts are back?

WqwkT5B.png

Ghost lady: What made you decide to hand the stone over so easily to… THAT knight, of all people?

Jade: Heh.

Ghost lady: I mean… If he’s desperate enough to hit on dead women like us—

R8PLrAq.pngH6WUmEO.png2QKG47k.pngFdjrmpa.png

Ghost lady: Oh…

Jade: Oh yes… Revenge is sweet…

My emotions are gone now.

l20iQN0.png

Back outside!

5h8oeZ2.png

Darec: I am in your debt… Thank you for helping me fulfill a lifelong dream.

Sain: Nay! It is I who should be thanking you, Darec!

bqqmn0P.pngvRTXSaz.png

So, you're going to split the gem into several million different pieces and give it to every lady on Earth?

Darec: Yes, yes. I wish you the best luck in winning your girl’s heart.

Sain: With this stone, I shouldn’t have any problem!

Darec: Hmm, indeed… Well. Good day, Sir Sain. Perhaps we will meet again.

3UmhzBC.pngPRHbaZs.png

Darec leaves, and other people arrive!

2hV3uKV.pngVdNTPTi.pngYcRHUBA.pngnX26ZeV.pngV7NxTyl.png

Good job Kent, cutting right to the chase. No lengthy catch-up sessions.

Sain: WHAT!?

Kent: Fortunately, Rath was able to grab one of the men involved in this mess… This bandit is going to lead us to their main hideout right now.

Wil: Still… What an odd coincidence that we’d run into you here—

Sain: Pah! Coincidence or no, there are ladies in need of rescuing! Quickly! We ride!

HuhdOhm.pngFXxSvMX.png

The others leave, Sain a bit behind...

0L5f4GA.png

WHEN SUDDENLY...

r5hzePr.png

PALADIN POWERS!!!

HQDLh91.pngChlTCyH.png

So, does this mean Sain's going to be using actual weapons now?

Here, have some Cedar-text:

nSIHTGy.pngcj294Oc.png

Yes, everything we've worked for is gone! But it's okay, because we had fun along the way! I'll talk more about the ramifications of this in a minute.

M6kTDF4.png

Just know that this upcoming chapter is the reason why I put that extra poll question up!

Okay everyone. As you probably gathered from reading the update, the first part of the hack is over. The second part encompasses the remaining 6 or so chapters, and, in my opinion, I think the hack's humor gets just a BIT weaker. Things also get more normal, as we'll be fighting with real weapons and more units at certain points. The next chapter is also my least favorite in the game, for dragging on a bit much... But don't worry, we've seen lots worse, we'll get through it! I'll probably be able to post the prelude, or parts of it, later today.

Oh! And since it was requested...

fEqw8P0.png

Wall time!

BBkibp0.pngk3x7oqf.pngJ9QzYYS.pngt6wVF9K.png

Maybe this is how Sain "levels up" his stats?

w4C4nwC.png

He "tink"s the wall a few times...

SvUHrYb.png

Darec: What do you think you’re doing, son?

Sain: P-Pardon?

Darec: Are you flirting with the air? Or do you seriously believe

dZVVxIw.png

Is that spelled right? I'm talking about "senuous", not the other thing... Come to think of it, this hack actually has quite a few typos. Not to nitpick!

Sain: Oh, no, no! I was merely practicing my—

Darec: Practice later. We are in a life or death scenario, and I’m counting on your flowery words to get us out of this! Save your breath and leave the walls to me!

"I'm counting on your flowery words to get us out of this!" Priceless. Glad I went back for this dialogue.

That was quite the kick in the nuts. Goddammit Ceadar.
