All are playthings of Fate until they bond together |
I took my Christmas break. And then I took some more. And then I took a little more after that. I've been helping r/FE7v2.5 with the scripts to the best of my ability, and so that and my new PS4 have taken up my time (RIP my wallet). But I'm back to do the first story chapter since November. Yikes. So bear with me here, and I'll (hopefully) make it worth your while.
As the party marches toward what is almost certain failure, Simon and Ramona discuss if they should abandon the cause, considering their status as criminals means that a stable government would not be on their side. While Ramona feels strongly that leaving would be the best option, Simon hesitates in his accord, beginning to believe that by proving their loyalty to the group, they can be pardoned of their crimes. Ramona dismisses the thought and scolds him for going soft, telling him that they're in this group because they were blackmailed into it, and there's still a possibility of them being imprisoned after this conflict is resolved. As the army sets up camp, Simon slips off into the forest and Tyken and Annika follow him. They see him pick up a large stick and bench-press it. He stops when he sees Annika watching and begins to yell at them. While Annika laughs at him, Tyken allows Simon to explain himself. He reluctantly explains that he has never been as strong as his sister, and he's always wanted to be a skilled melee combatant like her. Unfortunately, his physical ability has always held him back. Annika tells him that it will take a lot more than a tree branch to give him the strength he needs, and Simon snaps at her that he knows that, and declares that he's going back to camp alone. Meanwhile, Taren has a brief conversation with Gill, who is worried that they will run out of supplies and the king will not appreciate the group's rogue status. Taren replies that she is confident that the king will take favor with them after Michael explains what's going on. This tides Gill over, though in reality Taren isn't at all sure what will happen at this rate. Tenn rushes up to Taren in a panic, telling her that he could hear Annika screaming for help from within the forest. Taren leads the party into the forest, but Ramona separates from them to find Simon, whom she assumes is also inside the forest. Ramona locates Simon, who is relieved to see that the others must have heard Annika, but Ramona tells Simon that this is the perfect chance for them to get away without getting roped in any further to this conflict. While the rest of the group is distracted and separated from them, they can escape further into the forest. Simon expresses hesitation, and though Ramona tries harder to get him to leave, he finally refuses, saying that he feels an obligation to help and that there's a possibility that staying could improve their chances of their records being expunged. Ramona stubbornly goes without him. This rout the enemy mission begins with your units separated from each other. Annika and Tyken start at the top left corner of the map, Simon starts at the bottom left, and Taren and the selected party will start at the bottom right. The best strategy is to play Tyken defensively, keeping Annika safe and making sure Tyken doesn't get overwhelmed, while regrouping Simon with the rest of the party (Yerilla can fly over the forest and assist/rescue Simon from the start). After 3 turns, Ramona will appear and meet with Tyken and Annika, rejoining the party. After 5 turns, the boss will appear, Cazar, a sorcerer, and Kimmel, a dark mage, will appear with him. Talk to Kimmel with Simon, Annika, or Tyken to recruit him. Talk to Cazar with Kimmel and Cazar will retreat. Killing Cazar will result in Kimmel deferring to the enemy. Taren asks one of the remaining bandits why they keep being attacked, and, after a failed attempt to run away, he informs her that they were told the leader had a massive sum of gold. Taren laughs that off, saying that if she had lots of gold, she would have just spent it to repair her village and she would have never had to go on this lengthy quest. But Gill searches Taren's bag and finds a huge pouch of gold, leaving her speechless. When some members of the party begin to question her honesty, Tenn points out that Ambrosia, the winged girl they captured briefly, may have planted the money to give bandits a reason to attack them. Tyken and Simon both agree with Tenn's theory, but Gill is still skeptical. Ramona huffs and says that they shouldn't have stopped in the first place because the longer they take, the more ground this force of enemy men will cover. Taren concurs, and they pick up their supplies and head off.
