Part 1: Chapter 2: The Dispossessed



Before battle (Daein countryside)

Nolan:
“Just a quick half-mark, and we’ll be in Kisca. I’d like to stock up there, but…”

Sothe:
“Begnion will be on the lookout for us. Let’s steer clear of towns for now, unless we want more trouble.”

Edward:
“Don’t tell me… This means another night sleeping on the cold ground with nothing but bugs to keep us warm!”

Micaiah:
“Oh, Edward, it’s not that bad! The forest is so beautiful and serene. I’d almost rather be out here. Right, Yune?”

(Laura comes running)

Laura:
“Um…excuse me. Are you people heading to town by any chance? Our abbot is ill. He needs medicine, but Begnion soldiers are hoarding our provisions in the manor house.”

Micaiah:
“The Dawn Brigade, at your service! I’m sure we can help you and your abbot.”

Before Battle (Manor)

Micaiah:
“Sothe, do you know the layout of the manor?”

Sothe:
“I was here years ago. As I remember, there’s a large armory tucked deep inside the building. And if I understand correctly, Begnion soldiers guard valuables they’ve stolen–from rare objects to necessary supplies–in that armory.”

Micaiah:
“Then the medicine will be there, too.”

Laura:
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”

Sothe:
“Of course not! Danger is part of our work. Leave everything to us!”

Micaiah:
“Your abbot will have his medicine.”

Laura:
“Oh, thank you so much! Good luck!”

Turn 1 of Enemy Phase

Zaitan:
“Intruders, you say?! What with a full battalion stationed here? The gall! And the intrigue! Now, listen up, my men, catch ’em midstream and filet ’em like fish!”

Turn 2 of Player Phase

Sothe:
“That takes care of the locks. Now, I just have to figure out how to get everybody safely up here.”

Turn 3 of Player Phase

Begnion Soldier 1:
“Hey, you! How did you get in here?!”

Sothe:
“We are the Dawn Brigade. We go where we please. We’re here to reclaim what you’ve stolen from the people of Daein.”

Turn 4 of Player Phase

Begniona Soldier 1:
“Sir! There are burglars on the loose! Several young men and women have broken into the manor house!”

Jarod:
“Did you say women? What… What color is their hair?”

Begniona Soldier 1:
“There are two girls. One has bizarre silver-colored hair, and the other–“

Jarod:
“The Silver-Haired Maiden! Hm, very well. I want all soldiers on hand. Capture the girl…alive. Do what you will with the others, but bring me that girl! Understand!?”

Begniona Soldier 1:
“Sir, yes, sir!”

Laura arrives

Laura:
“At last… Glory be! The abbot will have his medicine. Wait for me here. I’ll return soon.”

After battle (Forest 1)

Sothe:
“Well done, everybody! Are we all present and accounted for?”

Micaiah:
“Wait! Laura’s missing! She was just with me.”

Sothe:
“Let’s split up and search for her. Micaiah, you come with me.”

Micaiah:
“…Hm, the forest is huge. We can cover more ground if we search individually.”

Sothe:
“But…”

Micaiah:
“Let’s rendezvous at Kunu Swamp in three marks’ time.”

After battle (Forest 2)

Micaiah:
“Somebody’s nearby…”

???:
“You sensed me, did you?”

Micaiah:
“Where is Laura?”

Jarod:
“And you saw through my ruse. You’re as clever as they say, my dear. You even came alone. How brave of you. Was that to give your friends a chance to escape? What a thoughtful little thing you are.”

Laura:
“Mi-Micaiah! Don’t come any closer!”

Micaiah:
“Laura! Let her go! She isn’t one of us…”

Jarod:
“Now, you know I can’t do that. She’s a valuable hostage, just like you!”

Micaiah:
“No! Yune, fly away!”

(Yune cries)

Jarod:
“Argh, dratted bird! Yes, get that mangy flying bag of bones out of here before I squash it like a fly! Tch. How annoying.”

Jarod:
“Enough of this! Back to the castle. As long as we have these two, the others don’t matter.”

Alder:
“Sir. All hands, withdraw!”

Micaiah:
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this…”
